So I recently found out that the Sims 4 is free for download, and naturally I wanted to check it out because I was never allowed to play as a kid but I am an Adult now so I can do what I want. Then I got the brilliant idea to make as many Detroit: Become Human characters I cared to have and play that way, because I’m too impatient to try to learn how to play before I jump into something. So of course it has been a disaster and a learning curve. Here’s some key bits because. I mean this is too funny. I need to share it:

First off I spent way too much time designing each character because I’m a perfectionist and the Sims customisation interface was difficult for me to get down. But I figured it out and I think I did pretty good. I had to download some hair and outfit mods though.

I started out with three households: the Jericrew, the Kara fam, and the DPD gang (ft. all three Connor bros) but now I have five households: 1. Gavin, Kamski, and Nines, 2. The Jericrew + Chloe, 3. Kara fam, 4. Connor and Sixty, and 5. Hank and Cole.

Chloe joined the Jericrew because she and North started dating. Previously, she lived with Gavin, Kamski, and Nines. And I made Gavin and Kamski brothers ofc, but I also made Chloe their sister just so no funny business happened. Also I found out you can change their romantic/sexual preferences and technically make them aroace if you uncheck everything, so Kamski, Connor, and Kara are all aroace because I headcanon them as such. Also Gavin is trans bc I said so. I also found pride flags which was fun.

Kara fam is just perfect. They are the absolute best. I’m so glad I started with them but also I think they gave me too high of standards, because everyone else just sucks (affectionate). Everytime I go to the Kara fam household, they are all happy/fine/positive emotion, and they actually take care of themselves. I have full autonomy on, and yet I’ll come back to the Jericrew or DPD gang or whoever and find they haven’t fed themselves and the toilets are broken or something. It’s insane. Nines once started a fucking fire on his own. He’s level 6 in cooking. Connor fucking DIED while I was away but luckily I just reloaded a previous save and got him back but like what the FUCK. I don’t even know what he died from either lmao but he died in his bedroom so I can only imagine. Meanwhile Kara, Luther, and Alice are all perfect angels who could do no wrong and they clean their house and have safe kitchen practices and don’t die. I love them a lot. Alice does so well in school. She has many friends and one enemy, idk wtf went down there but it’s funny to me. Every good girl deserves a nemesis. Luther is a gamer, didn’t expect that to happen but it’s funny. Kara plays pranks on them???? But they laugh so it’s fine. Also Alice isn’t a scared little bitch baby like Cole, who can’t sleep a single night without waking up scared of the monster under the bed. Alice befriended hers.

So yeah I wasn’t going to initially make Cole, just have Connor Nines and Sixty be Hank’s only sons, but then Hank had the aspiration of wanting to start a family so I just decide to try adopting for him and there was a kid named “Anderson” which was so funny and I had to adopt him. But he’s a very weird kid, he’s like if Connor was an 8 year old. Like, gets good grades but is sad about not making friends, tries and fails to befriend the monster under the bed so he’s scared of it, he eats cereal at 3am, he sings to and talks to his stuffed unicorn. It’s adorable. I had no idea all of this was possible.

Oh yeah um. Another thing I had no idea about? Fucking “woohoo”. I knew what it was but I had no idea it was so graphic???? Like they fucking make noises???? I couldn’t even like look at my computer it’s ridiculous. I have to like leave and control another sim each time. Simon and Markus woohoo’d in North’s bed once (against my will) so I had to get her a new one because that’s fucking gross.

The couples will just randomly walk up to each other and kiss which is adorable but also annoying when like for example, I’m having the Connor bros + Gavin visit Hank and Cole and Gavin and Nines just start kissing in the middle of the living room. But then Cole has an adverse reaction to seeing them kiss and is all like disgusted by it, which is hilarious. The others will clap though??? Lmao

Oh my God Sixty flirted with Gavin once and Nines got pissed. Then CONNOR yelled at Sixty for betraying Nines. This game is the funniest thing in the world. Who came up with this.

North and Simon are best friends but like they kinda did that on their own. North will just go up to Simon and hug him randomly which is crazy to me bc she’s got the hothead trait and like will randomly yell at Josh or stomp around the house, but she sees Simon and just hugs him. It’s so cute. She flirts with Chloe unprompted too.

I love Markus to death in dbh. He’s one of my favourite characters. Sims Markus, however, is the Worst. He’s got the Friend of the World aspiration or whatever it’s called so he makes lots of friends, but then he’ll like say something mean and get people mad at him?? And obviously it’s in a sims language so idk wtf he says but for example, I introduced the Jericrew to the Kara fam and he got Luther mad at him. Idek how. And then he will mope around about not being recognised for his paintings but gets mad at me when I make him show off his paintings. Bitch what do you want from me. He took Simon on a date and it went really well, but as soon as it was over he fucked off and like did pushups in the park while Simon just stood there. He once spent $45 all at once by making himself three coffees in a row. What the hell. He also got mad at Simon for God knows what but then North yelled at Markus for it which was so funny. I had Josh ask Markus for encouragement once when he was sad, and Markus walked away. Idk if I’m just this bad at the game or if Sims Markus is bugged but it’s wild.

Josh adopted a kid when I wasn’t there. I was gone for twenty minutes and Josh adopted a kid and named him Antony. It was hilarious but also annoying bc there was literally no space for this kid so I had to rearrange the entire house, and they definitely couldn’t afford a whole Child but Josh didn’t care apparently. Full autonomy is fun but I didn’t realise they could do crazy things like adopt a child on their own. Poor Antony is also really scared of the monster under the bed but Josh has so far proven himself to be a terrible father in that, everytime his kid wakes him up to spray the monster under the bed, Josh gets up and then goes off and does something else, doesn’t even like check up on Antony it’s so annoying. Antony started waking up North instead, unprompted, and she helps him.

North made an enemy and, at first I encouraged it and had her fight the guy because it was funny, but now she’ll just be walking down the street and it is on sight with this poor fucker. She sees him across the street, runs over, and starts beating him up. It’s hilarious and I love her so much.

I gave the Jericrew a pool and had everyone invited over for a neighbourhood pool party to introduce them all to each other and Sixty swam into the road. I know it was a glitch but it was super funny. He just. Kept swimming. Into the road. And then swam back. Like he was in the road.

I gave Sixty the “villainous valentine” trait or whatever it’s called because I don’t ship him with anyone and he’s a drama queen so I thought it would be funny, but then he flirted with Josh and Josh reciprocated. I didn’t even make him do it. I had Sixty flirt with everyone who wasn’t in a relationship and it was Josh who liked it. I saw the little green hearts with the ++ above their heads and I was like. What. the fuck just happened. But anyways now Josh and Sixty like each other and I’m too much of a weak bitch to have Sixty cheat on Josh even though it’s his aspiration because I love Josh so idk what I’m gonna do there. I could change it I guess but also I doubt they’ll last lmao especially since I’m doing nothing to help them. It’s still funny tho. I guess I’ll update if anything changes?? If anyone even cares ab this lmao.

Oh also before that, I had Sixty homewreck the Goth marriage and then break up with Mortimer goth so he could get the two aspiration achievements from it, it was funny. Mortimer was a bitch to Connor too, so worth it. Also this family is definitely a Walmart brand Addams family lmao. Except the husband is nowhere near as devoted and loving of his wife obviously.

Luther is a really high level in the comedy skill and I didn’t do that myself so I guess he’s just naturally hilarious. He’ll be watching tv with Alice and I’ll see him say something and they both laugh, or he’ll joke with Kara while they cook dinner together and they both laugh and it is adorable. Then Alice will come home from school and go see Luther to tell him about her day and he listens and talks back he’s just the sweetest ever.

Simon and Markus’s wedding. Dear lord. I could make a whole separate post about it. It was pure chaos. Let me reiterate that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing in this game. I’ve never played before and didn’t even know you could hold weddings without the special pack or whatever. Anyways, I had to redo their wedding three times. Three times. So their wedding happened four times because I don’t McFreaking understand this game’s antics.

The first time, I just was floundering and didn’t know how to do anything it was asking me to do. I invited all the other dbh characters but when we showed up at the park, which is where I held the wedding, everyone just wandered off and I had no idea how to get them to watch or anything. I wasn’t prepared with any resources either. It was a mess. Technically I succeeded in the event because I did get them married, but nothing else happened. So I reloaded the save and tried again.

The second time, I did it a little better, and I had actual tables and chairs and cookware prepared to make food/the cake/etc. I had a whole setup in Magnolia Park that actually looked pretty good. Plus it’s free if you build in the park which is double cool. But anyways I got about halfway through the event when I had Simon and Markus sit at the table with their guests to eat and socialise, and Elijah fucking Kamski flirted with Markus in front of Simon. Markus made a disgusted face and like waved him off, clearly not reciprocating the flirting, but for some reason the game still counted that as “cheating” even though Markus didn’t do anything??? Idk why tf that is but it’s dumb. Anyways, Simon is heartbroken because Markus “cheated” thanks to Kamski being a twat, and I didn’t think much of it til the event ended and I got everyone home and I realised that Markus and Simon’s romance bar had almost completely reset. Like it had the tiniest sliver of pink left. And their friendship bar was halved. Like Kamski fucking bulldozed their relationship when they were just married. And I spent a good hour working frantically to repair their relationship but it wasn’t going well and it was just even more of a mess, and NORTH decided she hated Markus now because he hurt Simon, it was just the worst. So I cheated a little again and went back to my save just before the wedding and started it over again.

The third time went the same as the second, except this time Luther flirted with Markus in front of Simon, and Markus fucking flirted back. I meant it when I said Sims Markus is the worst. He and Luther were good friends before the wedding bc I play with the Kara fam and Jericrew the most bc they’re my favourites, so that makes more sense than Kamski, but still!!! Markus sucks in the sims. Anyways, as soon as I saw that happen I learned my lesson and immediately restarted again.

The fourth and final time, I took away their autonomy. That fixed every problem. The wedding went smoothly, no one fucking flirted with Markus and ruined everything, and poor beloved Simon was so happy. Then when I sent everyone home I gave their autonomy back. Now, when it comes to certain other characters, I definitely wouldn’t have cared this much, but neither Markus nor Simon would ever be the type to cheat, so I don’t at all feel bad about going back and restarting each time, because that’s not who they are. And I’m lowkey pissed that other characters I’m not even controlling are able to flirt with characters I am controlling that are in relationships. Like dear lord, Luther would never. Kamski might. But Luther absolutely would not ever. It’s so crazy.

So anyways, I finally fucking got them married, everyone’s happy, I’m happy.

Connor is so sweet with Cole. It’s so cute. He reads to Cole and sprays the monster under the bed when Hank isn’t available to and he tag-teams with Cole to prank Gavin and it’s adorable. Oh also I gave Connor the mischief trait or whatever it is because he’s canonically a little shit and it’s funny. And his number one victim is definitely Gavin, close second is Sixty. He pranked Hank a few times but Hank didn’t like it so he stopped. He’s never pranked Nines though idk why. He’ll also just clean things and fix things without me telling him to. He’s a gamer too.

Nines decided he loved fitness on his own. He just does push ups in the kitchen. I’ll be playing as another household and see him jogging down the street. It’s kinda funny.

I was gonna have Nines propose to Gavin bc I think that’s how it would happen, but Gavin actually beat me to it.

North and Chloe are so fucking cute. North will just walk up to her and kiss her cheek or flirt with her and Chloe gets all blushy it’s adorable. North handed her a rose once on her own.

Dude some of these guys are idiots. Someone will be in the bathroom and they’ll just walk in and then be all like ��I can’t unsee that!!” like bitch have you heard of knocking. Wtf. but apparently couples can use the bathroom or shower in front of each other no problem so at least I don’t have to worry about that.

I gave each of the Jericrew fireplaces in their rooms. Big mistake. Within five minutes, Simon and Josh caught themselves on fire. I took the fireplaces away immediately.

I gave North some knight armour stands in her room bc they’re cool as fuck and I think she’d like them, and she’ll just stare at the armour sometimes it’s funny.

I found out you can have male characters wear dresses if you remove the dumb “masculine” tag on their outfit choices and I spent at least ten minutes freaking out and salivating over Markus in a dress. GOD he looks so fine. Fuck. I gave Simon and Sixty dress options too bc I think they’d rock it and I’m right. Tempted to give everyone dress options actually. North wears a tux though, and her swimsuit is a one piece because I refuse to believe she’d ever wear anything that even slightly resembles the Eden Club “outfit”. She’s hot as fuck in a tux which is obvious.

I think that’s it but I’ll add on if anything else crazy happens. <3

Hi! I’m a big fan of your work!! I am looking for more but unfortunately I feel like I have read all yhe good Harry Potter docs on Ao3. Do you have any recs?

Sorry for the delay, I just know that whenever I make rec list it usually ends up taking a while.

With that, Harry Potter fics are a big genre. Just saying Harry Potter in general really isn’t that specific to me so this is across genres/character focuses/you name it.

Also, as usual, I’ve been on fanfiction longer and have amassed more favorites there. Some of these are cross posted to Ao3. Similarly, a lot are unfinished, this personally doesn’t bother me but if it bothers you take heed.

Please tell us abt yr dnd characters holy shit

OK BET SO I HAVE SEVEN OF THEM AND FOUR OF THEM ARE KINDA FLESHED OUT THE OTHER THREE ARE IN THE CONCEPT ZONE

im in the process of making aesthetic blogs for them too so like ...... check out my main if you want em @turntechgodhcad 👀

-mod dave

ok so my first one is my chaos elf. glenn meldarion is my stupid idiot bitch boy and i love him and he lives in the woods. hes a rogue and hes chaotic neutral, hes 20, hes aroace, and naturally hes an amazing shot with a bow and arrow. also his full name is glennodad gonk meldarion and each of the names has a meaning

i looked up some elvish translator a while ago and “glennodad” translates to “jared”. jared 19

“meldarion” translates to “dave”. so his name is Elf Jared Dave

“gonk” is the name of my worm on a string so his middle name is gonk

theres nothing particularly angsty about glenn, he doesnt have a sad backstory or anything but he sure has a dumb one. so this fuck head ass starts out on a vegetable / fruit farm and hes minding his own business, he hunts for meat and stuff, and what he doesnt eat he sells. so hes got his own little market goin on but hes not exactly the most Popular of the vegetable sellers because yknow everyone and their mom on the edge of town is a vegetable seller so while glenns not selling fruit hes pickpocketing. and ONE DAY he pickpockets a Haughty Noble and gets caught. so this dude is like “ok” and places a little bounty on his head and hes run out of the town by this nobles goons and shit cause He Wants Payback, so up until he finds a home he just bounces around the woods from kingdom to kingdom camping out and shit. and he still pickpockets

--------

my SECOND boy is named cas, full name casteris emsworth, and hes human, hes my beautiful baby son and i love him and hes a druid (circle of the shepherd) !! hes a neutral good, hes 19, hes got himself a little Knife and hes bi !! and hes . very 👀 at this one tiefling of banes (if yall dont know bane thats my partner ^^).............his names lucas and oh boy cas has the Big Gay...............

cas’ main focus in his druidism is just plants. like people have specific focuses for some of their characters, cas just fucking likes plants. he absolutely excels in potions, and he fucks around with alchemy too. he keeps this big ass tome of plant sketches that hes seen on his travels, and he bakes bread when hes stressed and hes really good at writing! and hes fucking terrified of Really Big Fish .

his backstorys kinda sad but not really fleshed out; he was raised druidic in a kingdom that outlawed magic, his family got Found Out, they were ordered to be executed and cas escaped. usually this is where people would get vengeful and angry and wage a personal war against the kingdom, but cas doesnt have an angry bone in his body and instead went fucking asap to another place to keep practicing in his parents’ names !! he stayed with a cousin until he got a little hut of his own and now hes just Vibing. his main goal right now is to recreate this potion that he did. he was just fucking Mixing Shit and he grew a baby ent. and now hes like. Hellbent on trying to figure out how the FUCK he did that

--------

then i have a fire genasi whos kind of just in physical character development right now, his name is mathias ganteoran and hes a fighter !! hes 21, chaotic neutral but a Different Flavor than glenn, more Harsh, he fights with a bo staff, his hair is Literally Fire and hes trans demi and gay

mathias is the Grumpy Friend who Doesnt Have Time For This Bullshit but he gets roped into a bunch of stupid stuff anyway and its really great. also he has a rebellious streak and hes just Big Punk. or at least as punk as 1394 can get. also i know for a fact that the way he did his top surgery was that he just went up to some magic friend of his and went “de-tit me” and they did and long story short Magic Top Surgery .

also i didnt have a name for him for six months and i called him “motherfucker unlimited” until i named him

--------

aaryn mendalyn is my next character i love her so much shes my triton, and i really want to use her in a campaign soon. shes a monk (way of the open hand), chaotic good, 19, pan as hell, and this bitch has GAUNTLETS !!!!!

and let me tell yall aaryn is here to do three things and three things only. punch the fuck out of things, party like a rock star, and EAT DIRT

she has a bit of a backstory that involves dirt actually, so shes kinda got a little mermaid complex going on but not cause she finds a guy or smth. so tritons as a species act really superior cause theyre underwater and shit (think amporas) but aaryn always thought “but hm. the land is pretty cool. it has dirt, we have dirt but wet, its the same shit??” so she decides “ok im gonna go be on land now” and she just fucking loves the dry dirt. shes not worried about what her family will think cause shes really fucking impulsive and hey if she doesnt go back then she doesnt go back. she is having the time of her life

--------

for the characters that are still in progress, and all of their info is “X until further notice” cause i still have a lot of research to do on these species and classes

i have a 21 y/o lawful neutral nb lesbian aasimar cleric named kirijah whose entire aesthetic is half-victorian, half-classical, all sun / clouds. theyre trying their best to be poised all the time but god theyre confused as to why they hang out with these people

then theres my 19 y/o chaotic neutral-turned-good human witch named myra !! shes my only character with a homebrew class so im gonna have to figure out how to work with that. shes an aro bi demigirl, and she doesnt have a Full backstory but i Do know that she was definitely forced to commit a Major Crime, it left her fucked up, and now shes trying to move in a new way better direction. so now shes the cheerleader of her friend group !!

and FINALLY my latest and least developed, my DWARF CLARISSA !!!!!!! shes a barbarian, probably neutral, DEFINITELY chaotic, im probably gonna end up making her trans (if i write her character well enough that is. i want to flesh her out to where it makes sense cause i really want to avoid the “barbarian trans woman” stereotype, obviously thats really fucking harmful) and out of the seven she is the ONLY one with a brain cell

Irradiate My Heart, Chapter 3: Finally, Investigations Started, and Reunions Planned

SFW. John Hancock/Fem Sole Survivor (Arabeth) slow burn. Words: 1681. Catch the entire series on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14578878/chapters/33689385

Chapter 2: https://capriswritingnartshenanigans.tumblr.com/post/175661692131/vault-tec-the-memory-den-and-synths

November 2, 2287

While Arabeth had immediately wanted to get to searching for Shaun upon returning to Diamond City on the 30th, she, Piper, Nick, and Dogmeat needed rest. Piper and Nick also had to work on their own jobs (with some of Arabeth's help for both) before heading out on quite possibly a big expedition.

This small period of rest also had some talking. A lot of talking, especially about Arabeth herself. She admitted to being a medical student, who was nearly done with her degree when everything… went to hell.

Nick and Piper had quickly agreed that she could provide a lot of help to the wasteland if she ever wanted to after finding Shaun. It was certainly food for thought; one of her major reasons for becoming a doctor was to help people, after all. She didn't think more about it, yet, though… still too fresh, too painful. She spent a lot of time exploring and counting down time till the investigation got back on its feet.

When it finally did, however… she quickly found herself fighting the wish that it hadn't.

~~~

Mmm, ‘jackass’ is a rather polite word for Mayor McDonough, Arabeth decided quite quickly into her conversation with the piggish man. It also rapidly became clear to her that the Mayor was protecting Kellogg for some reason… he continuously made excuses as to why she shouldn't look further into his disappearance, even after telling him how Kellogg… kidnapped Shaun.

It quite honestly took all of her willpower to not continue questioning him on his odd behavior, but she had a feeling it'd result in nothing less than getting the entire Diamond City crawling up her ass 24/7.

Firming her grip on the key as the poor excuse of an elevator lowers back down to the rest of the city, she finds herself having another round of knots come into her stomach; God only knows what she'll find in Kellogg’s apartment. What if the Mayor is right, and this is all a moot point?

No, no, I can't think like that, she scolds herself mentally. I have to keep going. For Shaun. For Nate. For me.

The trudge up the stairs to where Nick waits causes her stomach to bottom out, just like it had the last time. Who the hell thought it was a great, absolutely fantastic idea to make a long staircase with no railing? Arabeth silently hopes that whatever genius engineer who made the staircase didn't also make the water sourcing equipment. She clutches her side when she got to the top, feeling a small stitch beginning there, but tries to not let it show as she makes her way to Nick. Gonna get in shape soon enough if I keep this up, she thinks to herself. Not like it's avoidable by a common wastelander; if her body didn't start shaping up soon, she’ll be lucky to continue surviving out here.

“Are we in luck, then?” Nick asks, nodding to the Vault Boy keychain in her hand. She releases it as she holds the key up for his viewing, grinning slightly.

“It sure seems so.”

“Good, good, I knew you had it in you. I'll give you the honors.” He waves towards the rusty, sheet-metal door as he speaks. She nods, trying to do her best to steel her nerves. You've got this. You have no choice but to have this.

She opens the door.

And it's… not as dark or decrepid or even alarming as she expected it to be. The apartment looks rather nice compared to what people “down on the green” tend to live in. It's a small (well, perfectly sized for someone living alone) apartment with a small set of stairs leading up to what she guesses is a loft. She hears Nick and Dogmeat come in after her, and the creak of the door closing. “Alright… Let's have a look around and see if we can find anything Kellogg left behind.”

Arabeth nods, and draws her 10 millimeter just to be on the safe side. She heads up to the loft first, and finds she's right about it being such, as it only holds a bed and a small bureau. She snags the handcuffs and flip lighter sitting on it for later, but after a quick look around, she finds nothing of interest to them up there. “Nothing up here, Nick. You find anything yet?” She asks as she begins to descend the stairs down to the small living area.

“Not a thing. Doesn't this place seem small to you?... Figure a guy like Kellogg would think bigger.” She finds him rifling around the couch and its nearby nightstands, then looks around for something else to check.

“Yeah. Big egos tend to call for big things. Bet there's a hidden space here… Somewhere…”

“My thoughts exactly.” She goes to the desk she skipped by earlier, and begins checking around it for anything. She finds a few more cases of ammo in one drawer, and sets it on top of the desk for grabbing when they leave. Frowning, she finds nothing in the drawers. No, she finds nothing until she looks underneath the raggedy metal desk. There she finds a button concealed in the corner where the desk top meets the drawers.

“Ah-hah!” With a soft cry of eagerness and huds-pah, she mashes it. A loud, grating scrape goes through the room as a sheet of metal walling pulls back to reveal a small room of supplies and other interesting bits. Nick quickly stands up straight, turning towards the now revealed room.

“Well… That's one way to hide a room.” He briskly makes his way over to it with Arabeth right at his heels. Upon entering it, she quickly sees that there's far more to this room than she originally thought: a well-kept plush chair is centered in the middle, alongside it a side table with high-end cigars and Gwinnette Stout beers. In the far back, she sees an equipment tuner, a few shelves of tools, and some medical supplies as well as food rations and back up ammo.

“San Francisco Sunlights, Gwinnette Stout… A regular man-cave. A rich man’s man-cave.”

“Yep, quite a distinctive brand, alright. But it won't lead us anywhere on its own, though.” Arabeth frowns at his words, before grabbing a nearby duffel bag and quickly booting the supplies into it. “Well, he certainly won't be needing those… Let me see if-”

An excited flurry of barking cuts him off as Dogmeat runs into the room like a bat out of hell. He gives the cigars a furious sniffing, before going back to the room's entrance and whining at Arabeth, stamping his paws hurriedly.

“You… You can track him, boy?” She quickly asks, a ball of excitement forming in her chest. He barks loudly again, getting into an eager crouch, before flinging himself towards the door. She and Nick look at each other for a moment, before they get to moving after him. She nearly forgets the ammo in her hurry out the door, but she remembers in time and bee-lines back inside to grab it. When she's back outside, she sees Nick and Dogmeat waiting for her at the edge of the stairs. “Let's go get Piper and our supplies, then we'll go find that son of a bitch!”

~Three hours later…

After stopping at Piper’s and carefully (but speedily) packing for the search for Kellogg, the three plus Dogmeat set out at a good pace with plenty of sunlight left. Dogmeat led them for a near full three hours across the wasteland, back towards an area a little ways south of Sanctuary. They passed through a few subway and train check stations, one of which had clear signs of a fight and Kellogg being injured. They passed through a few areas with some unsavory creatures (Piper is sure she'll never get the smell of rotting brahmin out of her coat), and finally to somewhere Arabeth knew a little about.

Fort Hagen. It was a fort Nate had reported to quite a few times in their relationship, especially for medical check-ups and tests. It had once stood so stoically and resolutely to the surrounding areas, but now… it's once intimidating high, steel fences are now rusted and busted, and most can sneak through them with ease. Its medical center stands over-taken by horribly large mosquitoes and the elements, with much of its upper floors caved in from two centuries of no upkeep. Fort Hagen even stands crumbling, its exterior slowly being taken over by vines and foundation cracking.

Fort Hagen is no longer a thing to admire, a building to be impressed by. It's just like everything else in the wasteland from her time: decaying and wasting. She swallows harshly as she continues to look over it, the sunset coloring it in dark pinks and vibrant oranges. She just stares for a bit, thinking, considering.

“Hey, Blue? Are you okay?” She snaps out of her daze when Piper begins to shake her shoulder, and quickly tries to plaster on a smile. She has to be okay. There's no room to not be.

“Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. It's just… It's weird to see this building so in disarray, is all.” Arabeth watches Piper nod unconvincingly, her concerned expression still present. Arabeth looks down amd pushes past her to stand by Nick and the now resting Dogmeat. “What's the plan, Nick?”

“Well, I think our canine friend deserves a well-earned break while we go deal with the… unsavory characters no doubt lurking in this place. We need to be very careful, Arabeth. If Kellogg’s here, he's not going without a fight.”

“I doubt he'll go willingly at all-”

“Yeah, well, it's three people against one, and if need be we could call for some more help.” Piper comes up beside them, voice overly confident, though her face betrays her nervousness; probably why she turned away from them.

Arabeth takes a deep breath, and readies her now well-modded trusty 10 millimeter. It's time. Time for a Reunion.

PROTOCOL (Chapter 2) -- Android AU! (Ravus Nox Fleuret x Reader)

Haha, wow, I can make that title really long!

But hey! Finally moved along to part two! :D Didn’t quite introduce another important character yet, but you’ll get to meet two of them within the next chapter! Thanks for being so patient with me when I’ve been writing this. I hope to keep writing this for you more when it comes to this story!

For now, enjoy Chapter 2 of PROTOCOL! C:

Previous Chapters: CHAPTER ONE

Ringing, knocking, a chipper ‘Yoo-hoo!’ in the late morning were among the many distractions you usually blocked out of your hearing when you were focused on your repairs. As the schedule dictated, from 8 AM to about noon, you would dedicate yourself solely to doing repairs on the androids you were commissioned to repair. Noon until 1 PM was lunch, and then you were back doing repairs or mods until one of your nightly primetime dramas started.

Today was The Cor Aegis, which was one with a Cor-X model repurposed for the sci-fi action show. You had to find out if the evil prince Loqi was going to exact his revenge on the hero or rejecting his proposal to be his wife! Odd show, but you liked it.

Even so, work had to come first. Even if you just wanted to binge watch the show in your underwear again as you waited for the next episode. No amount of knocking, ringing, shouting, or greetings could disrupt you. Especially when this Roomba wasn’t going to fix itself!

You reached over with your foot, pushing open the door from the garage entrance with it and shouting into the house as loud as you could. “RAVUS, GET THE DOOR!” You caught the door again with your foot and gently shut it as you focused again.

“Ya know, it’s been real nice havin’ Rae around here with us.” Cindy held up the mechanical arm she was working on, sticking her fingers into the connection port with her eyes flickering slightly. From just the small shock she gave it, the arm began to twitch its fingers, provoking a loud ‘Aha!’ from her. “Been nice not ta be able to focus.”

“Mhm… Could use more focus though…” You carefully pulled some of the wires from the small vacuum device. You just had to make sure that the wires got back into place, and the device should be able to move again. Just some wires that got jumbled up when your client’s dog decided that it was a giant frisbee… That didn’t fly in the air. You just sort of assumed that the dog wasn’t the smartest creature in the world, unfortunately. “Just let me stick these back in, and you’ll be able to walk again, little guy.”

With your small set of pliers, you pulled the wire aside, looking for where to reconnect it. And when you found the place, you moved the wire to connect it slowly… Carefully…

And SLAM!

You jolted from the loud noise, arms shooting up as reflect and the wire you wanted to connect pulling itself out with you. You stared at the wire for a split second before you heard the little device beginning to beep rapidly. Just before you could look down at it, the device bolted forward and into your torso before it clattered to the floor. “Son of a-!” You coughed a bit in pain before you looked down at the stupid Roomba on the floor. Well… It was moving along like it hadn’t been damaged to begin with. Just scooting along as if brand new. Your eyes narrowed at the little thing. This was the thanks that you got for trying to fix it? Asshole.

“What the heck was that?” You looked over to Cindy, who seemed more fascinated by the arm that she was tampering with than the noise you had heard. You let out a sigh, shaking your head in response. Well, at least she can get some more work done while you got investigate. Tossing your pliers onto your desk, you pushed your safety glasses up into your hair and went inside the house.

Needless to say, the man you asked to check on the door was standing there by the window nearby the front door. The way he stood there, eyes narrowed as if glaring at something intense was outside. He honestly reminded you of a cat with how often Ravus was perched at the window. If you gave him a pedestal to perch on, he probably would use it, you were sure. You squinted at the window for a moment before you cleared your throat.

No movement or response from Ravus.

Of course… When he was focused he didn’t answer you either. You seemed to have a knack for attracting androids who like to ignore you.

“Ravus?” The silver-haired man’s eyes shot over to you. Always with such an intense stare, it gave you the shivers every time. But it was always calmed down with how his expression softened whenever he noticed it was you. Well, at least he was getting used to seeing you. And getting used to not roasting your microwave. So seeing how he calmed himself, you smiled at him, even if you were shrouding a bit of annoyance from having been interrupted by work. “Was there someone at the door?”

“Yes, but I have rid them from your presence.”

You blinked rapidly and tilted your head at him. “I’m sorry, you did what?”

Ravus tilted his head at you in return. “I simply took the most appropriate course of action to combat a potentially threatening scenario. With how aggressive your neighbor was trying to assault your door, I assumed that something was wrong and would endanger you as a result.”

“Yeah, but why?”

“To ensure your safety and well-being. I simple said that should they continue their persistence in knocking, I will not hesitate to eliminate them on sight as a means of self-defense.”

“So then you slammed the door on them?”

“Correction: I told him that they were being a nuance. And then I slammed the door on them.”

“What?! Ravus, no!”

You had to rub your temples in frustration. Such conversations like these seemed to be more of a daily occurrence the longer you had the RAV-N0X prototype residing with you. As far as you can tell, it wasn’t even an official month since you repaired him, and already he seemed to be making things rather antagonistic for you in your household. From constantly replacing kitchen appliances to training the android just how to be civil of all things, it was like taking care of a dog. An overly-protective dog with a knack for making things worse than they already are.

You could deal with replacing toasters and all (especially with the discounts you get after helping to fix-up the SOPH-E Air android that usually helps run the appliance store). But you couldn’t necessarily deal with not even being able to brush your teeth without your android roommate doing something over-the-top to ‘ensure your safety and well-being.’ Your neighbor hardly deserved that. At least, you hoped they didn’t… Ravus hardly did anything to help you and your sudden paranoia about people that come to ring your doorbell.

You let out a heavy sigh. “I’m going to have to chase them down now… Did they at least say why they were here?”

“It was something along the lines of needing an audience with you about an important matter.”

“Then you should have let them in!”

“Not without verifying an appointment with me.”

“I’m pretty sure they don’t even know you’re living here!”

“Contrary, my visual recordings note that they assumed that I am an attendant of your home, referring to me as, quote: ‘Like, a boyfriend or something.’”

You were taken aback and caught off guard. Really? How could they not tell that Ravus wasn’t a human? He had a metallic purple arm for goodness sakes! But you let out a deep breath to calm down the annoyance, cheeks reddening a bit as you glanced aside. Cute though that they thought Ravus was your boyfriend. If he was human, you would kill to date someone that handsome.

“Upon further analysis of your neighbor, however, I have come to the assumption that they are – according to Urban Dictionary – a gossipy bitch.”

And this… Was probably why you wouldn’t want to date a guy like Ravus if a human version of him existed… He said some rude things. You shook your head out and moved past the android with a huff. “Gossipy bitch or not, my neighbors could also be potential clients, you know. And at this rate, I kind of need them if I wanna keep living here.” You stuffed your feet into your boots, stomping yourself into them while you took your jacket up from the wall. You opened up the front door, staring at the towering android as you gestured with your arm. “Well? Let’s go.”

“Why would I need to accompany you? As you mentioned before, your neighbors supposedly do not know I reside here.”

“You made it your point that they do know. Besides, you need to apologize to them.”

“I do not see a reason to when I was merely following protocol.”

“Well, I do! Humans don’t give people death threats for knocking on doors.”

“The knock itself was approximately 3.2 times more forceful than it should have been, indicating urgency or violence within it.”

“Well, I’ll never know if they were being violent or urgent now that you sent them away.” You let out a sigh of exasperation, clearly not getting anywhere with Ravus. You shook your head before you turned back towards the door. “You can’t predict everything bad that’s gonna happen, you know. I could get attacked as soon as I leave the house, and you wouldn’t be able to stop it.”

You were barely able to finish your thought before Ravus quickly stepped up to you, the violet replacement arm of his quickly shooting out to block you from the doorway as he stood in front of you protectively. His eyes flashed with a brief violet before fading out – just as the light on your porch surged bright then shattered itself. You jolted in surprise, instinctively gripping onto Ravus’s arm before you groaned and pushed it away. “Ravus, what the hell?!”

“If your neighbor is truly a threat, then your life may be in danger.”

“If anything, you’re going to end up scaring me to death before anything dangerous happens to me!”

“Actually, in a statistical sense-“

“It’s a figure of speech, Ravus.” At this rate, Ravus would keep you from even so much leaving the house to get your mail. And with how urgent your neighbor sounded, you had to do something to get the android to budge. Even using his name command, it was still spotty about whether he listened to you or not. It made you begin to wonder if his virtual intelligence was acting up or he was just installed with a really opinionated one. You’d have to do research on it later.

You pressed your lips together in thought. Research can come later. What mattered now was getting Ravus to move so you can see your neighbor. So you thought for a moment, a longer moment, and an even longer one before you realized that, holy Astral hell. Ravus was not budging. Even amongst the awkward silence, he just stood there, still like a barricade as you stood behind him. Really? Was there really something out there that was that dangerous? No. The most danger that you’ve had in your neighborhood was when Ravus came barreling through your window. You couldn’t help but turn around and eye the tacky green rug the covered-up the remains of black in your carpet. Yup… That was the only dangerous thing.

But you’ve had enough of this. You’d leave the house one way or another, and you’d make Ravus to apologize to your neighbor one way or another. You reached out, placing your hand on top of Ravus’s arm to get his attention. As expected, his mismatched eyes locked themselves onto you as you stared back at him. You wouldn’t take no for an answer as you began to take his hand into your own and firmly grasp it. He looked down at it, attempting to shake his hand free, but you still held on. “No. You’re going to apologize to my neighbor, whether you want to or not. That’s an order from me. Do I make myself clear, Ravus?”

This seemed to trigger something in Ravus, his eyes both flashing with a blue color as his furrowed eyebrows eased and his expression softened. It seemed that triggered his command code. You just had to be adamant with him, it seemed. But even after he registered the command, his expression turned into a grumpy frown before he turned his head away. “Understood…” He didn’t make much of an effort to fight off your hold anymore, perhaps worried about whether he would harm you as a result, but you still took what little victories you could get as you began to lead him out of your house and across the street to your neighbor’s house.

Your neighbor’s home was much nicer looking in comparison to your own, but perhaps it was because the lawn was neatly trimmed, rose bushes around the walkway gave the house a lot of life, and… Well, there wasn’t a sheet covering their window as you still tried to find someone to replace your window. It seemed proper, especially for someone living alone. It made you a little envious, considering that you couldn’t get Cindy to do the yardwork even if it was the only function her VI understood. She would much rather take apart the lawnmower rather than use it.

Maybe you can command Ravus to fix the yard. You made a mental note of that for later.

But once you got up to the front door, you let go of Ravus’s hand, looking up at him as you fixed up the sad excuse for clothing you had put him in. The old man in the house behind you was nice enough to lend you some of his old clothing from his ‘young and wild days’ to give to Ravus, but they definitely weren’t Ravus’s style. You were pretty sure floral dress shirts and brightly colored bell-bottoms weren’t even in style anymore, but they were something other than the torn-up white thing that Ravus was found in. You’d have to make a note to find him better clothes. If you could leave the house for more than five minutes without something going wrong, that is.

“Okay, so remember to be nice. You don’t have to smile when you apologize, but at least try to be sincere.”

Eyebrows furrowed in response. “How does one be sincere? Sincerity implies as if I have the capacity of caring about an apology.”

“Ravus.”

He let out a sigh in response, eyes flashing blue for a split second before he nodded. “I understand. I have conducted research, and will attempt to be ‘sincere.’”

“Thank you, Ravus. It won’t take us that long. Promise.” You pat down his collar before you rang the doorbell, stepping back next to Ravus, eying him from your peripheral vision just in case he tried to make a break for it.

You could hear a small bit of commotion from the other side of the door. Noises that seemed muffled, but audible enough to be heard as ‘A visitor! Gotta get the door!’ Exuberant in their greetings, from the sounds of it. The door jimmied itself a bit before it swung open and a bright smile greeted you. Blond-hair curled up and spiked like waves of gold that made you jealous of how healthy it looked, blue eyes staring at the two of you in awe and excitement, freckles that sparkled just like the young man’s eyes… There was something quite captivating about the young man than opened the door.

“Visitors! Welcome!”

Wait a second…

You opened your mouth to respond, but Ravus stepped forward already. “There is something that I must do before you welcome us.” He was a behemoth in comparison to the blond in the doorway, but not for long as he knelt before the young man, taking his hand into his own two as he looked up with a gentleness in his eyes.

“I wish to apologize to you… For my outburst against you and for the fear I incited within you. It was heartless of me to reject you without a second thought, and for that I wish for your forgiveness. I promise to never let you feel shut out by me – to feel as if you have to handle your endeavors alone.” He squeezed the other man’s hand tighter, bringing it to his lips before he kissed the back of it with a chaste kiss. “You may not wish to accept my apology, but please know that I am sorry, from the bottom of my heart.”

Silence was given in response to Ravus’s words.

“…Why are you not saying anything?” Ravus’s eyebrows furrowed before he turned to look up at you. “Why is he not responding? Why are you concealing your face with your hands?”

You croaked out a groan in response. “Because that’s not my neighbor.”

Ravus paused, eyes flashing violet for a split second as he looked up at the blond. He seemed to analyze the young man before him longer than anticipated to come to the realization that perhaps this wasn’t your neighbor. But both were blond, right? Both had blue eyes? Both were skinny and freckled? He always saw this young man retrieving the newspaper from the driveway, collect the mail from the box, return home with an arm full of groceries and other items. He was certain this was your neighbor.

…Right?

Mild Mild West: Jack vs Damnation part 3

I'm going to fast forwards through the rest of the plot as far as this third part is concerned. I've said all that really needs to be said about the combat and gameplay, but suffice it to say it would take me all day to talk about the moments in the game where I die, die and die again because of something stupid like the crouch button or the poorly telegraphed ammo count. This is not a fun game to play. You all get it by now.

So let's just barrel on through the story shall we? The next part of the game takes place in Mesa Dorado, which appears to be some sort of steam-punk take on indigenous central-Americans. This is another pretty cool idea, and as I mentioned earlier, native-Americans rarely get focus in steampunk-westerns, so having two distinct native cultures is almost unheard of.

By and large though, the whole thing is pure aesthetics. It's another cool looking location to bounce around between combat encounters. As ever, Damnation takes a really interesting idea and does the most boring version of it.

The writing itself is really starting to look shoddy at this point too. Roque and Zagalto suddenly have this big conversation out of nowhere about how they hate each other and when this is all over they're finally going to come to blows. This, despite the characters showing no animosity toward each other until this point. Lots of stuff in the game happens like this too.

The worst is yet to come, below the cut.

Eventually we have a boss fight against Selena, where Jack tries to appeal to her better nature in a 'I know you're still in there' kind of way. It pretty much confirms the two were lovers at this point, but as with everything else, nothing interesting comes of it.

Selena appears to have been killed, but our mysterious hooded figure appears to revive her, and I manage to pretty easily figure out the games biggest twist.

We have a quick flash over to Prescott's lair where he reveals his big plan is... plug the seer into a camera so he can watch his visions on a TV screen.

Okay.

There's a pretty cool bike sequence as we race against time to get to Tera Verte before a big gun train, and we ditch the bikes once we get to the ruins. Again, it has to be said how beautiful this game can be at times. The ruins look so lush after so long in the desert that I really just want to wander around and explore the place.

At this point Jack suddenly starts talking about how she can't wait to kill Selena, that bitch. Again, the writing seems disjointed. Why does she hate her all of a sudden when she previously at least wanted to try and negotiate?

Never mind that now though, because it's time for the game's big shocking twist. We catch up with Selena and the hooded figure, who disrobes to reveal...

… dun dun dunnn!!!

It was Roque’s girlfriend all along!

There is so much wrong with this sequence that I struggle to know where to start. The big issue is the fact that Daydon only gets mentioned like, twice, in the entire game before this scene. Once in flashback, and once in passing. That's it. So we have no real emotional build up. Second is that Roque is given no personality whatsoever, so I almost started laughing when he drops to the floor in an emotional heap.

Thirdly, of course, is that video games, particularly from the mid 00's, have a bad track record for fridgeing women for no good reason, and on top of that, a rather creepy track record of forcing you to kill them in a boss fight, which this game steals almost wholesale from 2006′s Prey.

To make matters worse, Daydon only gets something like one more mention before the end of the game, when really getting revenge should be presented as Roques big motivation at this point. But no, after his little moment of feelings, it's back to being an emotionless slab.

Anyway, we have a cool, cool bike sequence here riding along the walls of Tera Verte city and it almost starts to feel like a fun game again. The city itself looks really cool, and is great to explore, but the longer you spend in it, the more the lack of bystanders makes the place feel uncanny and unreal. While it's probably the best looking section, the city also feels the least fun.

Anyway, we catch up with Zagalto's dad and the writing does it's thing again where the governor immediately dismisses him as a liar and says he has no son, then get's shot, and tells Roque to tell Zagalto that he always loved him and he's in charge now. This all unfolds in the space of about ten seconds.

The next plan is to flood the city to wipe out PSI's forces. Okay I guess, we have to fight our way to the docks, and Jack finally gets her showdown with Selena. It ends with Selena falling from a balcony, wounded and then Jack just decides to drown her in a fountain. I guess hoping this game would end with a happy lesbian couple was too much to hope for.

Anyway, we do a bunch of Resident Evil style statue shifting puzzles and flood the city, turing back PSI's invasion. Now it's finally time to take the fight to Prescott himself and head to his evil lair.

Roque actually gets a funny line for once. I laughed.

PSI city is pretty damn cool. It's another environmental shift that feels fresh after Mexico, and the city in the distance looks haunting and hypnotic. The slow advance to Prescott's tower is brilliantly paced and executed.

And while environments still impress, I was a little disappointed that once we got to Prescott's tower that it becomes fighting through one industrial room after another. I was hoping there would be offices, mess halls and libraries we would be working our way through, but no, it's just cogs, cogs and more cogs.

Well we finally make our way to the top, and we don't even get the chance to get a proper look at Prescott's office since we're thrown into a cutscene. Prescott shouts some predicable evil villain BS and then runs away. We follow him into a boss fight.

The boss fight sucks. I could go on about how bad it is, but it just sucks, you fight Prescott in a big robo-suit and then have to climb a building to drop a cargo container on him. I died a million times trying to do this.

Once you've taken care of the suit, Prescott hulks out, but he's pretty easy to kill. Then it's all over, we get some more ominous native-American narration about vague philosophical nonsense. We get one shot of the group, a note that the battle is far from over, and then cut to credits.

Okay.

I'm glad I played Damnation, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was fun to see how the mod had evolved into a full game, and it was fun to watch how much of a train crash that turned out to be.

But the whole experience was frustrating too. So much potential was squandered on this mess. This is a game about american-corporate-science-nazis with robots, ninja's and wolf-men, fighting against a steampunk alliance of cowboys, mexicans, native-american's and native-el-dorado-eans and it somehow manages to make that premise boring.

There's another reality out there, where Damnation was this slick, fun game, with great world-building and a unique and charming plot. This isn't that reality, but by looking at Damnation we can maybe prevent similar disasters in the future. That's my hope anyway, because I'd love to see a spiritual successor one day that takes the same potential but gives it the care and attention to do it right.

Until then, well, we have the original mod I guess.

further TW3 moods

this game is indefensibly white. i have not seen ANY non-white npcs. anywhere. ever. i didn’t think much of it in backwaters like white orchard and velen but having hit both oxenfurt and novigrad (fucking novigrad! not even some fucking zerrikanian traders??) it’s become very uncomfortable. i was kind of expecting that i would meet some major characters of color later when more of the named cast has gotten involved but i’ve started seeing fringilla cards in my gwent games and she is...white, so i’m starting to doubt it. i’m hoping i can find a mod to just... add some variety to the background npcs because this is Bothering Me

my gwent quest continues. i am so close to being done with velen (3 cards left?) and i’m most of the way through novigrad as well. i peeked at the passiflora tourney, drew the most terrible first hand possible, and immediately reloaded my save and left to go get some more cards. savescumming in TW3 is pretty inconvenient honestly but i will not allow myself to lose at gwent. i considered going all the way to skellige early for cards but decided against it because idk what quests that might end up locking me out of. this does mean i can’t play lambert for a while and i’m sad about it

i did get dijkstra’s card and speaking of him, sigi reuven is an absolutely fantastic son of a bitch. what an asshole. i love him. also, oh boy this franchise really likes its bath scenes!

i got roche’s card also and let me tell you i was CERTAIN his name was pronounced ro-shay or something like that, not exactly like my fucking horse

i also love how geralt clearly only pulls out the “witchers have no emotions” junk when it’s convenient to him bc it’s hilarious

the single male sex worker at the passiflora is unattractively infected with a respiratory illness, but i still maintain that it is homophobic that Geralt cannot hire him

after checking that it wouldn’t affect my relationship with yen i did hire one of the girls at lazy kate’s just to see if geralt would do anything interesting. it was the most awkward two minutes of my entire video gaming career. geralt willing to give head confirmed? she's the only one who makes noises throughout the entire ordeal oh my god this was a bad idea, would not recommend.

keira’s not a completely terrible person actually and she is really only the normal amount of untrustworthy for a sorcerer in this universe. however, i also did not sleep with her.

sidenote, i’m sure they were just reusing models but why keira’s fancy clothing illusion spell puts geralt in the doublet he wears to see emhyr is slightly beyond me from a story perspective. are you into nilfgaardian nobles keira? do you fantasize about working for emhyr’s court? it’s weird because she doesn’t seem to have any interest in going south, like she was willing to try to bargain with radovid to stay in the north, but what do i know

triss is ok. i might like her better if i’d actually played Witcher 1 and 2 but i didn’t so here we are, triss being very familiar with geralt while i press noncommittal dialogue options and wonder where yennefer is

i would die for zoltan chivay.

the elihal sequence is... slightly cringe. that said i don’t care what elihal claims, elihal and dandelion absolutely fucked, CDPR are COWARDS, change my mind

i was fully expecting the “blonde woman” with dandelion to be Ciri under a false name and was surprised when it was in fact actually one of dandelion’s gfs. priscilla is adorable and talented though, i love her

the wolven storm > her sweet kiss

i have all the sword oils now! half of them are enhanced and i’m very slowly working on getting the monster ingredients for the other enhanced and superior versions. (erynia eyes... devourer blood... i cry) i run the enhanced versions of hanged man and necrophage by default but i switch up what’s on the silver pretty frequently. i also have all the bombs crafted but i haven’t quite figured how to use them without blowing them up in my own face. working on it. once i figure out moondust it’s fucking over for all these wraiths.

potions are bomb actually. decoctions are still a little beyond my understanding and my tox resistance but i do use the fiend decoction (+20 inventory) every so often to enable my hoarding tendencies. i use enhanced thunderbolt and white raff all the time now and as soon as i find some more fucking buckthorn i’ll probably be using killer whale a bunch too. also as someone terribly afeared of dark corners, Cat is my best friend. tho’ i do sorta wish my Cat was still the regular version because the enhanced lasts for a long time and coming out of a cave into daylight with Cat still in your system is Not Great

#quilltxt #geralt to keira: vesemir almost died using igni on poisonous gas #me: LOL OK IMMA DO IT THO #long post

oohohoho you just opened the deepest can of worms on the planet

-mod dave, who wrote a fucking ten mile essay

first off, addressing the second anon, no theyre all humans. h., half humans at least. cause yall know me i fucking love my humanstuck aus off my ASS

(that would be funny as hell though. a troll from space walking into a camp on earth going “I AM THE SON OF ONE OF YOUR EARTH GODS. BITCH” like... holy shit)

so first things first their parents. im gonna lay this out, the beta kids and trolls are all greek (EXCEPT sollux hes roman cause his parent has no greek equivalent), and all the alpha kids and trolls are those gods roman equivalents (,,EXCEPT dirk cause he kinda balances sollux being roman out). i havent figured out how thatd happen like 16+ times yet cause in the percy jackson books theres only ever been one instance of two siblings of the same godly descent being greek and roman respectively in HISTORY so like.. i guess th. i guess thats just not a problem in this au

anyway this gets really long so im gonna talk about the beta kids and trolls cause i havent elaborated on the alphas at all ((peep the tags if you wanna see their parents though))

johns the son of zeus, rose is the daughter of athena, dave is the son of apollo, and jade is the daughter of demeter. they were all raised in their respective states, all had to come to new york for various reasons. jades been there the longest, shes been there 9 years and shes been on a couple quests. her biggest accomplishment so far is how she protected the camp from this big vicious angry hellhound that got past the barrier. naturally the girls fluent in Dog Training, so she steps up and instead of trying to kill this thing, she reaches out and tames it as fast as she can. it ends up actually working, and ever since that day she, her cabin, and the camp have a whole bodyguard sleeping right outside the demeter cabin! hes her steed in battle and hes a Very Good Boy. and his name is becquerel

johns the newest kid at camp, he has no idea who he is or why the fuck his school got attacked or why in the hell those anemoi thuellai were so fixated on him or HOW in the hell he absorbed the lightning one threw at him and ended up fine,,, hes just a big mess right now. a big enough mess that when he got claimed by literally zeus, no one else was around, he shrugged it off as some basic magical happening, and he stayed in the hermes cabin far longer than he should have cause no one! fucking knew he got claimed! by zeus of all people! dumbass. he ends up figuring it out though. like an off-hand mention about how this “weird lightning thing appeared above my head a couple weeks ago, haha weird right?” once he figures it out he realizes “hey i might be able to fly” so he sneaks off into the woods to try it. he succeeds fairly quickly but god almighty everyones face the one day the dude just yote himself off a small cliff without warning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

dave and rose are really tight, theyve been there roughly the same time length, and since their cabins are across from each other they just bother each other all the time. daves the resident Doctor even though he really doesnt look it cause hes got the apollo powers. apollo is the medicine god. so if you wound your stupid ass in battle daves in the ER room patching you up with his glowy hands. rose on the other hand is a very good strategist. shes one of the only athena kids ever recorded to actually have a power - telekinesis. she has no idea how she developed it, she thinks its from birth, but it freaks her out. shes training it though.

so the beta trolls, are also all human(ish). aradias hades kid. but i pulled a pjo trope on her based on one of my favorite characters (im not saying for spoilers, but if you recognize the situation, You Probably Know Who Its Based Off) and aradia died. her mom, the handmaid, had been pulling some Shady Ass Shit and ended up getting herself killed, but aradia tried saving her and ended up going down with her.

so handmaid gets sentenced to the fields of punishment in the underworld, and aradia gets sentenced to elysium, heroes paradise. shes like “no i want my mom to be okay” so they take that away from aradia and they put them both in the fields of asphodel, the neverending grey space for Not So Good But Not So Bad people. her mom becomes a shade (shadow spirit, no human resemblance), as all people do, but aradia. doesnt? and she gets dunked in the fucking river lethe and if you dont know what that does it erases your memory. so she just. comes out of the river like “hello? wgat tae fukc goin on??” but she still remembers one thing. there was an “a” in her name.

tavros is the son of hermes, hes just kinda taken on the role of backup counselor for when the actual cabin counselor is out. hes in a wheelchair, but he also has prosthetic legs for when he needs to actually stand up and fight. hes really good at it too. also catch him in winged converse cause he Owns Those and Uses Them To His Advantage. hes trying his best to keep focused on the camp, cause aradia was his childhood friend, he misses her a whole lot, she never got to camp in the first place. and to his knowledge, shes still dead.

sollux is a janus kid. thats a problem cause janus is roman, and this is a greek camp. he grew up with dave, he showed up with dave, hes been at camp as long as dave. but hes been unclaimed since he showed up so he thinks hes unwanted by whatever parent he has. he knows hes a demigod, he got through the camp barriers, so what the fuck is wrong with him? he also feels shitty cause hes shit at the greek lessons, he cant read a lick of it which literally every demigod without exception should be able to do, he cant name any gods- well, he can, but.. he gets their names mixed up. why does he keep calling poseidon “neptune”? and he has a much, much different way of natural fighting than other kids. they slice, he jabs. he wasnt taught to jab.

karkat is an aphrodite kid with vitiligo, and to make matters worse, hes ace and on the aro spectrum. to make matters WORSE, the aphrodite kids are kinda notorious for being really shallow, really materialistic, and really mean. karkats been dubbed the “runt” of the cabin, he gets made fun of for his spots to the point where he uses make up and magic to conceal them. worst of all? hes the kid of the goddess of love, for fucks sake. being reminded that “loveless people shouldnt be able to stay in this cabin, mom must have made a mistake claiming you” is kind of.. a blow to the self esteem. long story short he hates aphrodite for claiming him, and would have rather stayed in the hermes cabin. but he eventually goes on this big quest thats vague as fuck right now but Its The Main Plot, he ends up proving to himself that hes worth something and that his siblings are wrong, and my FAVORITE LINE IN THE WHOLE THING i came up with is HIS when he deals a final blow to some big monster: “REMEMBER MY FACE THE NEXT TIME YOU REINCARNATE. MY NAME IS KARKAT VANTAS, I’M THE SON OF APHRODITE, AND LOOKS CAN KILL.”

nepeta isnt anywhere near developed as others are unfortunately, shes a daughter of ares and shes really really good at hand to hand combat. shes small but she leads groups of people in things ranging from camp volleyball games to actual literal wars. shes a tough little shit

kanaya isnt really developed either, i have yet to figure out most of her powers too actually, shes a daughter of iris, the rainbow goddess though. (blatant reference to both kanayas vampirism and. h. her. sh. es ga. gay) ONE THING SHE CAN DO THOUGH is iris message at will without water or drachmas so really shes just everyones go to cell phone and its fucking hilarious cause people just come into the cabin like “KANAYA I NEED TO TALK TO [X]” and shes like “You Better Fucking Pay Me I Am Not Your Personal Cell Phone”

terezi is the daughter of nemesis and she has this really peculiar power she hasnt really gotten the hang of yet. she has synesthesia, so while she cant see she can smell and taste the colors of her surroundings and its really helpful. sometimes though she gets messages from her mom. they dont even come as dreams half the time, they come as almost a different plane altogether. tez has the power to literally tip the scales, pretty much. and when she gets like that, she can see. shes not on earth though, shit on earth stops when shes like that. shes just kinda In Her Own Head, i guess? and in her head she holds the two scales in her hands. she is the arms of the scale. and depending on which one she lifts up, she can literally alter the fate of the battle or happening thats going on By Herself. once she chooses she just whooshes back to real life though and nothing has changed. the only downside? it takes a LOT of energy and cant be exploited for little things. her one thing on her bucket list is to tap into said powers while getting something from a vending machine so like three things will fall out but it hasnt happened yet and shes upset

vriskas a daughter of tyche, the luck goddess, come the fuck on you knew i was gonna, i havent really elaborated on her either and im upset about that. but hey now you get a break from all those fucking paragraphs

equius is a hephaestus kid, and he kinda stays in the background. hes a range fighter, he spends a lot of time in the forge, and even though its been a project looooong since forgotten, hes been excavating the tunnels under cabin nine for years. by himself. he has no idea where they lead, but dammit hes gonna find out where. he has no idea about a certain bunker in the woods though...

gamzees just there for a fucking laugh tbh hes a son of dionysus and i love that cause hes the god of wine and parties and insanity. usually gamzees just zoning out somewhere hes Not supposed to be, and hes not affected by the maenads FUCKED UP BULLSHIT that goes down the forest sometimes. also hes so fucking scared of tavroses wing shoes he tried them on once while he was high and JESUS CHRIST

eridan is the son of kymopoleia, a SUPER obscure goddess. lets just say dont fuck with eridan cause his mom is the goddess of violent sea storms,

and naturally, feferi is the daughter of poseidon. cause who the FUCK else would she be the daughter of. WHO. NAME ONE GOD

OH AND JUST CAUSE I FORGOT CALLIE AND CALIBORN ARE SATYRS IN THIS AU. CALLIE HAS PAN PIPES. and caliborn still has a gun
