"This means there's quite some ROs for feMC who are sub if you want them to be."

It's not the same.. 😔 Especially since so many ROs are switches for mmc and doms for fmc. And the one that's a sub for mmc is a switch for fmc, as if women only want to be dominated 🤢

Ugh, damn. And here I was trying to hide the fact that my only intention with writing this IF was to create a world full of women that are dominated. No, let me correct myself... want to be dominated. Apparently, I didn't hide it as deeply as I thought.

I was genuinely debating whether or not to respond to this ask. But if this is the takeaway you've gotten from everything shared on this blog, then I think you've missed a major point. So sure—if that's the essence you've decided to extract, then yes. Let’s go with "not a single sub for F!MC in sight."

Now, regarding the actual structure: the switch ROs exist specifically to offer different experiences based on how the MC wants to play. They can express both dominance and submission, depending on the dynamic you explore. If the wording or presentation of that flexibility triggered something for you, I'm sorry that it landed the wrong way—but the intention is to provide options, not reinforce some kind of gendered fantasy.

Maybe if you'd shown the slightest bit of decency and self-restraint—and skipped the passive-aggressive emoji—I'd have had something kinder to say. But given the tone, this is what you get.

WIP word game

Rules: you will be given a word. Then you share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of your word!

I was tagged by @slumped-in-the-arms-of-fiction (❤️) and given the word GRANT. A mixed bag of things! Some Gilmore Girls and some Bridgerton, from 3 different fics. (Might be giving away something I've been kinda sorta noodling with here...)

G: God he wants to just…to wallow. To let someone else take care of him while he sinks into the worst of the pain. This is what mothers are supposed to be for, but if he tried to call Liz he’d probably wind up taking care of her instead. No, if Jess is going to let someone care for him it’s going to be Ro— R: Right, Penelope thought. A wedding. The sort of thing that followed an engagement. Unless the engagement was entirely fake. A: And not knowing in a self-deprecating, “my track record for romance is shit,” “everyone leaves me,” sort of way, but actually, literally knowing. Because the future version of your girlfriend, the one who keeps finding you, over and over again throughout time, has confirmed it on more than one occasion. N: (Not that Penelope had once spent the better part of an afternoon using her library science skills to figure out just how Colin was connected to some girl named Michaela Stirling.) T: They are full of drafts and stale smells and creaks and moans (which the rational part of her brain tells her are the completely natural noises of a settling old house, but which the far less rational part of her brain knows are, of course, caused by ghosts). The beds are always antique and uncomfortable, and the walls are always lined with old tapestries, mostly held together by dust. They’re museums. They’re mausoleums. Crypts for a society well past its best by date.

You never realize just how many of your sentences start with the letter "T" until you try to pick just one (or a string of them all in a row).

Tagging: @wonderlandleighleigh @stellaluna33 @hopetorun @ksfd892 and anyone else who would like to do it!

Your word is: SIREN

[realmblr-confessions]

To the anon saying realm is dying due to the reasons they stated

QSMP is not confirmed. Maybe it's a public server maybe it's purgatory nothing is confirmed

As for the ccs not logging in - Foolish, Tina were part of abes cobblemon and there was a period where they played there yet came to the server, Zam said he wants to make a cinematic for realm, and Pili already stated that he needs to focus on webones. It's not been that long since those have logged on - maybe like a week or so

Additionally, qsmp in the start had like half the English speaking people and like 2 of the Spanish speaking people log on and yet no one said its dying.

People have so many open arcs going on.

Also saying the prank war is not peak content. Anon tell me something does everything have to be peak fast paced content. Is it not okay for the story to be a bit slow as it builds up.

There's so many interesting story lines going on the realm if you want to see in so many different styles (for keeping it concise I'll only mention the ones that "log on")

1 - mystery based

Lukey and his beef with high keeper and his discovery of newts life / Will Water come back as a dragon / How will Aimsey deal with themselves and their necromancy after killing water / Why does Michaela hate the leader of the Dwarven kingdom / Will Pangi actually give the dragon egg to Pili / how will tv brothers make Pangi give them the egg / Bad's mission / Ros's view of herself is changing

2 war based arc - self explanatory

3 - love based stories - pangkey are about to go on a date / Aimros confessed yet ros called them friends so now they're (?) / water halo arc / Newt's one sided one requisite feelings

4 - friendship based - coin duo yet again opposite parallels / aimsey and Lukey disagreement / will Pangi and Aimsey also fight / ros and Bad conflict / reason for tr! Michaela's passive aggression to aimsey

So depending on your preference there's still so many story lines that are starting to build up. I'm sorry you don't find it to be "peak content" just because the story is not fast paced action that involves everyone. But I enjoy this story and you saying I like it just because I've not seen peak is disrespect to that. I like the characters and I like the themes and I like my morally grey war criminals <3

Nightingale Adventure

(Based on Apo's lore stream of 28-8)

They hadn’t been sailing for more than an hour when the weather had turned sour. Apo didn’t understand how, because when they left the port there was not a cloud in sight. He liked to think he could predict the weather quite accurately now, but today had proven him wrong. The worst part was that he had decided to board Acho’s ship instead of going on his own, which meant he was just a passenger. Acho knew how to sail and with a good crew of Nightingales there really was nothing to worry about. Still, when the first lightning bolt struck the sea Apo couldn’t help but flinch.

“Lightning scared ya, Apo?” Michaela noticed, a smirk on her face as together they undid the ropes that held the small sail down. With winds like this, they really didn’t need all sails up to keep them going. Will and Graecie were up in the mast, hoisting the sail upwards and fastening it.

“Caught me off guard,” Apo deflected. A little storm didn’t faze him, he’d sailed in too many storms to get scared this easily. “I just hadn’t expected a storm to roll in this suddenly.”

“I agree with that,” she said, trying to wipe the thick hair out of her face as she looked up into the mast, where the other two were working hard to tie the sail down. Acho, from behind the wheel, was shouting out orders to the rest of the crew but Apo couldn’t hear him over the sound of the waves. “I’m happy we went with Acho, their ship is by far one of the best from our fleet. No offence.”

“None taken,” Apo muttered, though he would’ve loved it if they had decided to take his ship and let him be the captain. “Do you really think we are going to run into Aimsey on that island?”

“I hope we do,” Michaela’s expression hardened. From what Apo managed to piece together, Michaela knew Aimsey pretty well. She had told him a little about how their families were very good friends and that that was the reason Michaela had come to the Faction Isles in the first place. She was supposed to stay with them for a while, but due to bad weather she arrived later than expected and at that point disaster had already struck. She was told only snippets for what supposedly happened to Aimsey and today the Nightingales hoped to uncover more of what happened that mysterious night. Apo sometimes still had nightmares about the storm and those nasty, purple tentacles.

“Land ho!” Ros yelled from high up in the crows nest. She was brave staying there with this wind, though Apo assumed she was too scared to climb down at all. She was lovely, truly lovely and a true Nightingale at heart but she wasn’t the best pirate. She had however been determined to go along on this venture. She had been so adamant about it that nobody had dared to tell her no.

Acho gestured for Apo to join them, so he swiftly made his way over to them across the slippery deck. He almost stumbled on the stairs, but managed to keep himself upright to present himself to his friend. Acho had been so stoic this journey, as if they had something to prove. Despite them being new to the faction, they were amongst family. They didn’t have to prove their worth to this crew.

“With the weather like this, I can’t dock safely,” they explained to Apo. “I’ll get as close to the shore as I possibly can, but we’ll have to take the sloop to the docks.”

“But we docked safely in that first storm,” Apo argued. “With an entire fleet, even. Sure, the weather is a bit worse than that night but – “

“I won’t put my ship in jeopardy,” Acho interrupted him, set on their own plan. “We had some very good sailors leading the way, that night. We can’t afford losing this ship, we’ll be marooned.”

“Then why did you ask?” Apo said, confused by what Acho wanted from him.

“To inform you to prepare the sloop,” Acho recovered with just a slight hesitation in their voice. “We’ll drop the anchor here. I’ll gather Ros, Will, Graecie and Michaela. The rest of the crew will stay here.”

Apo opted to not go against his friend again and just do as he was told. Acho was on edge, for good reason in all honesty. They were still a bit weary of Willow, the Nightingale that had just come back from a rather large and long journey. He’d been with the Faction for years already, so he knew how things were run amongst their family. Apo somehow assumed Acho felt threatened by that. They must come from a very demanding environment, but Apo didn’t want to get into business he wasn’t supposed to. If Acho want to tell him about their past, they would.  

So, as Acho gathered the Nightingales that would go to shore, Apo prepared the sloop. It wasn’t much and it would be a hell of a job to get this thing to the island that was just about visible through the rain. It wasn’t particularly far and the waves weren’t nearly as bad as on the open seas, but they would have to work hard to row against the tide. Nightingales were though, however, especially when they said their mind to something. With some struggle and good directional ques from Ros, the six of them managed to get the sloop to the deserted docks. When everybody had set foot on solid land and the wood creaked under their feet, they took a look at the island before them.

Apo could feel his mouth drop. It didn’t look anything like the last time he had been here. The goop was gone, the purple tentacles that had engulfed the small seaside down where either gone or had turned to solid stone. It was deserted, as it had been before and cold wind and rain swept against his face. If only he could be back in their tavern with a keg of ale in his hand near the warm fire. But no, they had to set sail to this wretched place they already knew. They weren’t Herons, who looked to discovery every mystery of the world. They weren’t Kestrels, looking for treasure even in places like this. They certainly weren’t Kite, despite them looking for one now.

“This is not what I remember from being here last time,” Graecie was the first one to break the silence. “Where… why has everything turned to stone?”

“I’ve been here once after Aimsey disappeared,” Acho said, which was yet another piece of information Apo wasn’t aware of. “It was a couple of weeks ago, I think, and by that point the stone was already – wait, did you see that?”

Acho pointed towards the sky and Apo had to pull out his spyglass to even see they were pointing to the top of a mountain. He saw nothing but rain and rocks, so he turned to his friend with slight concern.

“I see nothing,” he stated, though Acho looked as if they’d seen a ghost. “It must’ve been the lightning.”

“No, I swear to the Sun God,” Acho argued. Their white hair was plastered to their face and they squinted to look into the distance, the spyglass on their hip entirely forgotten. “There it is again, take a look!”

They pointed, sprinting forward a few steps until Graecie caught them by the collar. Apo followed the gesture with his eyes, but he still had no idea what Acho was talking about.

“What is it, Acho?” Ros asked, her soft voice barely carrying over the sounds of the storm.

“The purple particles!” Acho argued as they turned around, brushing Gracie off. “I – I’m not crazy!”

“We don’t say you are,” Ros assured them with a weak smile. “But let’s not go running off on our own. We already lost a friend here, we wouldn’t want to lose another.”

Ros was the kindest soul Apo had ever met, and he knew quite some people. Yet, on the entire Faction Isles there wasn’t a person as compassionate as Ros. If Apo had to describe what it was to be a Nightingale, he would pick Ros as an example. She would do anything for her faction, even if that particular thing wasn’t in her skill set. If you asked Ros for help, she would drop everything to come to your aid. She cared for her crew.

“I see it too!” Michaela then yelled, pointing to a wildly different spot Acho had earlier. All six of them turned their heads and now, Apo couldn’t deny it. There was something purple far up the mountain, something small and moving. For a moment he thought of cruppy, that weird little creature Olive had encountered on this very island. It had somehow followed them all the way back to the Faction Isles and it seemed to like it there. Yet, this was different as purple particles seemed to flow in the air, clearly visible despite the darkness and the rain. Mere seconds before it blinked out of existence, Apo swore he saw a pair of eyes.

“Where did it go?” Acho questioned and from that point onward, nobody seemed to keep Ros’ warning in mind. Acho was the first to run away, making their way further into the town looking for a way up into the mountains. Michaela followed in their footsteps with her sword in hand. With two already gone, the four remaining Nightingales had little choice but to follow the crew. Apo fell behind as he tried to pinpoint the location of the strange visage again.

There! He spotted it, near where the rest of the crew had gone of to. Through is spyglass he could take a closer look. He had been right, it was more than just particles! There was a figure amongst the strange magic, a face lined in dark hair and shrouded in purple.

“Aimsey…?” Apo muttered aloud, his voice lost to the rain. The appearance looked like them, but he didn’t remember Aimsey being purple. Had they been here the entire time? Why hadn’t they returned to the Faction Isles?

“Aimsey… were are you going?” Apo yelled it into the wind, but the question didn’t seem to land. As his crew scrambled their way up the mountain, the visage had already moved. Apo got into motion, making his way over the slippery rocks and through the mud, battling to keep his balance. They might not be Herons, but this was a discovery worth chasing after. They had come here so Will and Michaela could witness this island for themselves, but none of them had anticipated a chase like this. Had Apo hoped to find Aimsey here? Sure, but he wanted the Aimsey he knew. They had been very welcoming when he arrived at the Faction Isles despite the reputation of the Kites.

“We should take different routes to this mountain!” at some point, Acho was close enough for Apo to hear them. “Take the left, Apo. We think it’s Aimsey!”

It was good to know Apo wasn’t the only one that thought so. He followed Acho’s instructions without giving it much thought, keeping his eye on what they thought to be Aimsey through his spyglass. It moved fast, way to fast for a regular human. Once he had reached the place it had been earlier, it had moved far away. Air started to burn in his lungs and he didn’t know how much time had passed when he found himself on a muddy shore, all alone and in the dark.

“This isn’t going to work,” he muttered to himself, turning around slowly in hopes to spot his crew. He didn’t, however, so he opted to return to the dock where they had set foot earlier. When he finally arrived, soaked to the bone as he had to wade through waist deep water to get back, he found that others had made the same decision. Acho was waiting alongside Will and Graecie. They, much like Apo, had their hair and clothes stuck to their skin because of the weather.

“Apo!” Will sounded delighted to see Apo. “Have you caught them? Have you caught Aimsey?”

“No,” Apo said, still catching his breath. “Did they look weird to you as well? They looked… purple, despite those weird particles.”

“Something is off about this place,” Graecie confirmed. “We… we didn’t get close enough to them to ask them anything. What concerns me more, where are Ros and Michaela?”

Acho snapped to attention as if he hadn’t noticed they were missing two of their crew members before that. The two must still be on their way to the docks, Apo told himself. Sure, this island hadn’t taken another soul. He wouldn’t believe that.

“I – Let me go look for them,” Acho decided all on their own and before the others could go against it, they had already disappeared into the town. Apo opted to go after them for a moment, but that meant he had to leave Will and Graecie behind on the docks. Acho could fend for himself, Apo considered them to be one of the Nightingales best swordspeople.

“When you told me you’d show me a special place, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind,” Will said as the rain started to die down. Apo had no idea how long they had been running around the island, chasing Aimsey, but he swore he could see the beginnings of daylight at the horizon.

“Well, we weren’t exactly expecting to run into an adventure quite like this,” Graecie admitted. She pulled her hair together to wring the water out of it, shifting her eyepatch in the process. She quickly put it back into position. “Do you guys think we should tell anybody at the Faction Isles?”

Apo hadn’t even thought about that yet. Was a wild goose chase on this mystic figure really something they wanted? Sure, Apo wanted to know what was happening here but not at the cost of any more lives. Some mysteries where better left uncovered.

“The Herons might be helpful in this endeavor,” Will opted. “They love their mysteries, if I remember correctly. If anybody knows something about this, it must be them.”

He was right, the Herons might just know a thing or two. Maybe the Herons that roamed the Factions Isles right now had never encountered anything like this, but those of old might just have. Apo knew of their vast library with maps and documents. He was happy he didn’t have to add anything to it.

“Michaela, they are here!” Ros turned a corner and suddenly, she and Michaela had made it to the dock. Their sudden appearance startled Apo, though he hoped he had concealed that first reaction good enough. Michaela still had her sword out, gripped tightly at the hilt. There had been a point at which Apo had questioned if she hadn’t been more on her place with the Kites, but she never meant any real harm with her threats. The Kites did, Apo had had enough running ins with them.

“I touched the cloud,” Michaela stuttered and Ros instantly wrapped an arm around her to console her. “I… they were there. They were friendly. The cloud didn’t hurt me.”

Apo couldn’t really string together what she meant by that, but he didn’t dare to ask. She seemed shaken by whatever had happened to her. All that mattered was that both of them had gotten back safely.

“Great, and now Acho is running around looking for the two of you,” Graecie sighed. “He’ll be smart enough to return swiftly, right? – Oh, speak of the devil.”

Acho reappeared on the other side of the dock, but clocked the group quickly enough. They came running towards them, boots splashing on the waterlogged planks and their coat swirling around their legs.

“Is everybody alright?” they asked and Apo couldn’t help but notice he didn’t sound particularly out of breath. That was impressive, in all fairness. “Have you caught the… whatever that was?”

“It’s Aimsey,” Michaela said with confidence. “Or… it looks like them. Something is off with this island, with them, I don’t know! We should do something.”

Apo had never struck Michaela as someone desperate, but she sure sounded like it. Of course she was, she just wanted to safe her friend.

“We should ask the Herons for advice,” Graecie said, repeating her earlier thought. “If anybody has the information, they do.”

“No Herons!” Acho almost yelled, which wasn’t necessary anymore as the storm had settle down just as suddenly as is had appeared. “It – this doesn’t concern them at all. If anything, we should inform the Kites. Aimsey is one of them, after all.”

“I’d rather not talk to the Kites,” Michaela said and a frown appeared on her face. “One of them keeps threatening me he’ll murder me once I set foot off the Isles. Some of them are… a bit wicked. Aimsey was the most reasonable of them. I like the idea of going to the Herons.”

“What about the Kestrels?” Acho continued, clearly not happy with the idea of going to the Herons. “Wasn’t Aimsey quite close with one of them?”

“With Guqqi, you mean?” Apo had to dig deep in his memory to come up with that name. “The one person who also went missing on the same night?”

“We don’t know if she’s missing,” Acho said, though Apo doubted anybody had heard from her since she had taken off with those cloaked fellas. Apo didn’t talk to the Kestrels that much, there was only Martyn he could sometimes have a normal conversation with but the others were just to stuck up with themselves. Apo didn’t think he could ever be that selfish.

“How about we discuss this back at the Faction Isles?” Ros proposed as more light started to spill over the now calmed down ocean. “We should all get a chance of dry clothes, we’ll get sick like this.”

There was a grumbling agreement and in a somewhat awkward silence, the crew returned to the sloop. Apo couldn’t help but wonder why Acho seemed to have such an aversion to talking to the Herons. He thought the Herons to be quite pleasant to be around as long as you didn’t start about their achievements. Once they started their tales, they wouldn’t stop talking no matter what you tried.

As they rowed back to the ship, Apo threw one last glance back at the island. Now, with the light of day creeping in long shadows were cast over the stony structures looking very much like tentacles. All of the stone had been purple once, whatever had happened to it for it to look like this? Apo was afraid they might never know, which in turn would mean there was little chance they would get Aimsey back. Whatever had happened to them, Apo could only pray the thing that did it stayed on that island.

This was my first time tuning into an Apo lore stream and I might just tune into a bunch more, as I had a blast! Also, I'll protect Ros with my life she is so very dear to me.

(also please to scream at me if I got any pronouns wrong by mistake)

[emiliosandozsequence]

what is your nebulous tag for?

it's for a scifi duet i want to write about a girl named comet who discovers she has the power to control spacetime!! (mostly time tho) but as she uses her powers more and more, there is great cost to herself. the story is meant to be a bittersweet tragedy 💕

it originally was going to be just one book, but i realized that the story is too involved for that, so i'm splitting it into two.

anyway the fcs for my main characters are as follows

comet stessen: amandla stenberg (mc; can use spacetime; passenger aboard the atlas)

graham stessen (her dad and a scientist): sterling k. brown

siris greyhawke: michael greyeyes (the chef aboard the atlas)

halo: ian alexander (the navigator of the atlas)

juno ros: michaela jae rodriguez (doctor aboard the atlas)

nova ros (juno's wife and captain of the atlas): michelle yeoh

aries: bill skarsgard (security officer of the atlas)

medra khatri: amita suman (mechanic of the atlas)

this book was heavily inspired by the locked tomb, the sparrow, the tv show 'firefly', the movie 'lucy', and the long way to a small angry planet!! i'm still in the planning stages of this novel tho!!

Two questions, yet again :)

1- Who all became gods by the Ocean, and who all became gods by the Sun God? So far, the only one I know who became a god by the Ocean was Eret.

2- Of all of the members of Pirates SMP, who have you still to assign a role as a god to? And do you have ideas for them?

Eret, Kuvero, Sausage, and Watermunch all became became gods via the ocean.

The ones who have ones written down for and not shared are

Watermunch as Goddess of the Tides

Sausage as God of Sunken Treasure

Cleo as the Goddess of Alcohol

Red as the God of Weaponry

Martyn as the God of Ingenuity

Jojo as the Goddess of the Moon

Michaela as the Goddess of Loyalty

I may have mentioned Graecie as The Goddess of Polaris (North Star) but I can’t remember

Shep, Callum, Ros, and El are the gods of the four winds but I want them to be the cardinal directions each of the faction bases are most in but I cannot find that info to save my life

Exciting Writing Announcement/Update  #1!

Exciting Writing Announcement/Update #1!!!

In honor of the fact that I am going to be posting the last chapters of "This Is Love" Very Soon (which, spoiler alert, is Exciting Writing Announcement/Update #2), I have self-published a new book that I am very excited to be sharing with you all =D

As I kept saying, I got really really attached to all the OCs in D:M, and I really wanted to keep writing them in their own story, in a completely original setting, where everyone gets to be happy and alive. So during the very long editing process, I have done that! If you're at all interested in reading an original story featuring Masaomi, Youji, Hinami and Shiori, you can buy the story here.

And if you want to read the first chapter, I posted it here, on a tumblr I created for this side project, but not sure how active this sideblog will be. I am so bad at maintaining more than one social media.

Masaomi is actually a dragon in this one =D Everyone else gets to be a mythological creature too.

Blurb:

The Red Dragon has been betrayed. Akaryu Masaomi is rightfully one of six rulers of the celestial world's elaborate and repressive administration, and has taken his powers and privileges for granted all his life, but he has been framed for treason, stripped of his lands, and thrown in prison. Now, trapped in human form and without allies, all he can do is wait for his execution in the most secure prison in the land of Tenou.

Elsewhere, three strangers are all sent on a mission. The soldier obeying her commanding officer and seeking a turning point in their rebellion against the tyrannical administration, the shaman just trying to survive her fall from grace while listening to the cryptic advice of her great-grandmother's ghost, and the outcast who owes a favor to the divine entity who once saved his life, all set out with the same goal: Rescue the Red Dragon.

More information/FAQ under the cut.

This is a brand new project, so no one has actually asked any questions yet, but since I thought there might be some questions, here are the ones I anticipated:

Why is this under a different name than your other original novel?

Let's just say, there are people IRL who know about Light in Dark Places that I would prefer NOT know about this one, so I published under a different name.

Will it be available in paperback?

Yes! Eventually! Well, ideally. But that process takes slightly longer, and I didn't want to wait, so it's just available as an ebook for now.

Is it a repeat of "This is Love?"

Nope! Overall, some of the backstories are/similar to how they appear in "This Is Love" but in a completely new context and world, so it is entirely new. Nothing that was written in "This is Love" gets word for word repeated.

Is there romance?

Also eventually, but gosh this one is somehow an even slower burn than "This Is Love," so this first book has no romance at all.

Is there more than one?

I'm hoping for a series, and there is *for sure* going to be a sequel, because the first draft of the sequel is finished, but needs a long and thorough editing job. Like all of my writing projects, the presence of more books kinda depends on how fun it is to keep writing. But I do really enjoy writing these characters, so here's hoping.

Are you still writing fanfiction?

Yes, of course. As Exciting Writing Update/Announcement #3, I have FINALLY started writing that long KNB fantasy AU again. That fic is my white whale damn it, and I am finally hunting that thing down. Or however the metaphor works.

Why doesn’t the cover show up on the Amazon page?

I don’t knooooooow, but it distresses me greatly. =( Actually, I think it’s because I literally uploaded this yesterday, and all the details have not caught up with the page yet, and I was too impatient to wait for it to look all nice and professional. Hopefully that sorts itself out soon.

Are the other D:M OCs going to make an appearance?

Some of them make exceedingly brief appearances in this first book, and will feature more heavily in the second book. But yeah, if I created an OC for D:M, I considered them fair game to appear in this new series. You know, with slight name variations and what not.

Anything else?

If you're actually reading all these questions/answers, thank you so much, I love you. But yeah, that's it for now I guess =D

As I reward for those of you reading these questions, I will confirm that the end of "This Is Love" will be posted tomorrow, barring anything supremely unexpected happening.=D =D

(Youji is confronted with questions he is not prepared to answer regarding loyalty and love.)

Behold, what I believe is the first The Magpie Chronicles by @umisabaku / Michaela Ro fanfic! I’m waiting for AO3 to make the category (as of 8.19.2020) so it’s in Unspecified Fandom right now. 

(This fic contains spoilers for the book! Please do not read the fic before you have read the book.)

lets see what alf + 444 looks like :0!

Bystander/Daughter of White - Mothy (would it be son of yellow?? Idk)

Long time no Senyuu woah it’s been forever since I drew for this series.

I literally gasped when I saw what song this was. Of course I went with the attempted murder scene.

If Alf is Clarith this implies Michaela is Elf. And if I drew Ros as Riliane does this mean Lake is Allen.

This got me thinking though. Evillous is complicated but if I assigned characters in this specific part of the story outside of this prompt I would go with like. Clarith + Michaela Ros or Crea or Alba but like Allen Elf and Riliane Alf. Like Elf’s personality is more suited to Riliane but like Elf does transformation stuff which means Elf can do the thing at the end of Servant/Daughter of Evil.

I’ve kind half forgotten what I was talking about now. Anyways I want Ros+Alf friendship.
