The twins, Veronica and Swan!

They run Grimdark Hotel/Homes, which is where Vice (and their Others) currently live in. They do not have any Others, making them the only ones that Vice is close to whom are 'normal'.

Veronica is the 'preppy' punk, she is always on top of things and making sure everyone is happy. She will do things on her own, and at times can be a bit pushy...but she means well, if you tell her to back off she will. She can be a lot to deal with, but will adapt to each person she meets so she doesn't hurt them further than they already are.

Swan is the opposite. She does work hard, but is quite mean and doesn't like doing 'favors' for anyone. If you have to pay her back for something, she will make it HELL for you and will never let you forget...the only one who can handle her is Veronica, though it's surprising they get along as well as they do. She does NOT like people, so if you get on her 'good' side it's a miracle (and may not really be a positive thing because she's always so snobby).

✾Sweet Like Morning-Glory ✾

💚Summary: There's a melody humming within your bones. A tune Baizhu strums with his needles and drugs. The ballade sings of a love more deadly than any toxin. 

💚Author's note: Requested by my darling @fangirl-katwithclaws hope you enjoy it, Love!!~ 💜

💚Warnings: drugging, intoxicants, narcotics, reader is dazed.  

You wake up wrong. Half dead and half alive with none of the glory. 

You feel broken, cleaved as if someone dissembled you and then tried to re-assemble you in a hurry. Erroneously forging pieces that do not fit. There's a thumping in your head and in your right arm. A reminder of a memory long since forgotten. 

There's a squeaking noise, the door sliding heavily against the wooden floorboards. It's too loud. Actually, now that you think about it, everything feels too loud. The birds, the crickets, the mysterious tune that haunts the Liyue streets. Everything feels like lost notes ambushing your lagging encephalon.

You turn your head to the source of the noise, watch as the door opens ever so agonizingly slow. There's green and gold and a flash of white that enters the room. Him. The only thing that stands out in a sea of blurry colors too vivid to process. Him. The one who's always at the forefront of your brain no matter how sluggish you feel. 

Baizhu sits on the edge of your shared bed, his easy smile ever present on his pale face. He leaves the tray of food on your lap and raises both hands to cup your cheeks, pressing a soft kiss on your cracked lips. 

There's something wrong with the way Baizhu tastes. His kisses are bitter. All molten violetgrass and qingxin flowers. It's like the toxins from his soul are seeping into you, it takes unprecedented self-control you didn't know you possessed to remain still within his grasp. He mutters something against your lips, something lighthearted and sweet. Like the first fresh breeze of spring. Only it's fall now or is it winter? Everything is getting so hard to recall. 

To all of Liyue, you are known as Baizhu's sick bride. The one with limbs stiffer than her stepdaughter's and a foggy memory to boot. In actuality, you do not know how you gained such a title. Your memories tend to be nothing more than faint echos and ebony slates of confusion. You can't even properly recall how you met Baizhu, let alone how you married him. All you remember is a phrase, the first I love you Baizhu said. Albit with diffrent words and a much diffrent phrasing. 

"My what lovely veins you have."

If thoughts would be permitted to linger in your mind for longer than mere seconds, then maybe, just maybe that phrase would have seemed off to you. Something all so wrong about finding beauty under one's skin. But your thoughts are never consistent enough to draw such intricate conclusions. Instead, you nuzzle into Baizhu's touch, trying to ground yourself. Baizhu plucks something small of the breakfast tray and pops it into his mouth. He waits a heartbeat before kissing you again. Slipping something round into your mouth. 

You can almost feel your pulse fade. 

It's warm in Bubu pharmacy, too warm. You feel like your skin is melting off your bones. "it's too warm" you mumble, eyes unfocused staring at the front entrance of the pharmacy. Your mind is spinning, out of control like a crashing bird. 

You lean back against your husband, resting your head on his shoulder. 

Baizhu's hand finds its way to your head, entwining his fingers into your hair. You permit a heavy whine to escape your throat, a dry muffled noise that briefly catches the attention of some of the patrons. "Baizhu, please" you mutter, desperate to leave the lively room. 

Sometimes you vaguely recall a time when the presence of others hadn't been so suffocating. When you'd laughed with the people of the harbor and basked in their sweet company. Only when you had met Baizhu had socializing become so taxing. An exhausting affair your sweet lover helped you avoid. At times, in rare bouts of clarity, it almost felt as if Baizhu had planned this. As if he held the blame for your metamorphosis into a hermit. 

And if you were ever conscious enough to care it may have been a problem... 

Qiqi runs in, leaving her basket of fresh herbs on a chair. She runs over to you, lifting her arms. You wrap your arms around her waist and try to pull her up. She's getting heavier you note, albeit you're sure you are, in fact, the one getting weaker. 

"Qiqi, darling. Maybe it's best you take Mommy to her room. I'll join you shortly once Gui arrives." 

Qiqi nods and reaches to hold your hand. Walking idly by you, hand in hand, as you escape the suffocating room. 

You wonder if Qiqi appreciates your lethargy. Lolls in knowing there is another like her. Someone stiff and sick and with a mind too slow to process nothing more than idle commands. 

There's mold festering inside her. A rigor mortis she can not beat. Her body betrays her at every step. Yet ultimately she is the true traitor, the one who didn't honor her body's dying wish. You wonder if Qiqi even fully comprehends what being a zombie entails. You wonder if you wholly understand it yourself. 

Maybe you had died a long time ago too, maybe Baizhu had found a way to resurrect you. That would account for the constant stiffness and memory lapses. It made more sense than this malady he kept going on about. A haunting hollowness dances across the darker corners of your heart. It twirls and pirouettes to the tune of anticipation. Maybe this darkness has always been a wrathful death. Cheated from claiming you for the grave. 

Your room is quiet, a contrast to the morning. The shadows slither across the walls as you wait patiently for Baizhu. You'd sent Qiqi off to her room. Hoping she'd busy herself with doctor dolls she so fancied. Your eyes trained on the door. Mind empty except for rouge thoughts of him. The way his warm hands feel so good against your burning skin. How gentle he is with you as if you'd been made from glass. You love him. You're sure you do. 

Baizhu slips in quietly. Closing the door and shutting out the world. 

He sits next to you on the bed. Hands ghosting over your body. 

It feels like your skin doesn't fit correctly over your bones. 

"You're so beautiful like this". There's a needle between his fingers, held with all the percussion in the world. Beads of vivid green drip from the tip, a sacrifice to perfection. 

If Baizhu could he'd pluck the flesh off your limps just to catch a glimpse of your porcalin white bones. he'd open their shells and kiss the marrow resting within. You remember him detailing that in a loose breath once. How gorgeous you'd be unskinned. How he'd love to kiss every part of you hidden behind your delicate skin. It's something from the past, or something from the future, too hard to fully remember. He does tend to fanaticize out loud all too often.  

Baizhu pulls you closer, taking kisses from your shoulder to the depression of your elbow. There he sucks, prepping the vein. Another dose gentily spills into you and he kisses your lips passionately. 

Your eyes remain open. Taking him in, in his entirety. 

You blame the archons, the green they used for his hair is much too vibrant. The acid-like tone has surely bled into his soul. Filling it with venoms. Venoms he can't help, in turn, leaking into his lover.

You're mind grows dimmer as Baizhue's kisses grow hotter. His voice a fading star as he breathes out your name. 

"My sweet, sweet darling, out like a wilted rose I see."

Yknow this is another thing that I've been chipping away at for the past few months (and if you're in the LQ or Exo Creator Servers you've Definitely seen me share these before) and haven't posted on Tumblr yet; it's the current WIP of my attempt to give every named, mentioned, or heavily implied to exist character in the game that doesn’t have a canon design! Over time I wanna post them all individually (along with the lore I’ve come up with for them), but these are all the completed ones right now

It appears that I have most certainly miscalculated, for my very own Aurises took in false information that my most desired consumable item at this very moment, a Triticum aestivum that in which is particularly assembled by the unhatched ovum from a Gallus gallus domesticus, the rich liquid from the utter of a Bos taurus, a powdered substance that was originally a particular plantae which is used for global food production, agitated fat from the creamy substance that is also from an utter of a Bos taurus, and an assembly of glucose and fructose, all being combined and molecular gastronomy in thermal energy on top of a circular tool with a handle that is mostly used for molecular gastronomy and not for the cause of the concussion of the homo sapien’s cranium, topped with a sticky substance naturally produced by a certain species of Acer rubrum and consumed in a reasonable temperature, was being spoken upon in a conversation between my future false murder victim whom will eventually become the love of my life within a matter of the past year and his companions that I don’t have a lot of information about inside my encephalon. For my ventriculus was empty and naturally looking for a life source.

I am not reading all of that.

NAIL

Motorcycle altmode :)

Has a few (read: A LOT) of issues

Really fking hard to find (busy torturing his "wife")

(the meme says "Look at my surgeon Dawgggggg I'm goin to die 😫🤯🤣")

i was thinking of a wolf while designing him so the thing at the back is supposed to be a "tail" (wow so cute for a total freak) (it's the back part near the seat of a bike idk what the hell it is called. the part with the lights on. its ass)

he's non-aligned because he fucked off somewhere while the war was going on to toy with his ""wife"" (it's some poor soul he snatched up because ence became infatuated with him and couldn't bear to live without him. the mech is braindead at this point from everything encephalon's put him through) and not deal with faction disputes

whoever manages to find him can ask for whatever but if he thinks they're wasting his time (he gets irritated when away from his plaything) they get dealt with and used for parts/fuel 😭 has only happened twice and he was grouchy for a good while after

Here is Milio and their Schizophrenia Other (Oilim)!

INFO:

He is very much unmedicated, it's a wonder how he stays as stable as he does...and it's also why he is the 'Robin Hood' of the grocery store. You need food/supplies, he will create a distraction and act crazy so you can go around and steal what you need. When he isn't 'helping', he is reading p0rn magazines in the back room.

He is in fact homeless, but he lives inside a magic tent right in the parking lot of the grocery store. He is very happy with his home, he doesn't like normal houses for his own reasons (it's why he rarely ever visits or stays over at anyone's house - he will panic and cause chaos).

He is based off of a guy I met in my dreams - I only 'met' him twice, but he grew up with me so he is immortalized in My Encephalon.

His Other (thankfully?) rarely ever shows up physically, so he's not a huge issue outside of what he does to Milio...if he does show up, that means Oilim really trusts you. And something serious is going on with Milio that he cannot handle.

for the character ask!! dedusmuln for 4, 12, and 21!!

A most platinum ask for my favorite archeologist 💚

4 - If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

That's a great question... Personally I think the Indiana Jones films could be improved 1000% if Dedusmuln were the main character instead! Maybe the 3rd film could focus on them and Smuldunde with the character dynamics of Indie & his dad lol

12 - What's a headcanon you have for this character?

My greatest headcanon is that they're autistic. They have a particular special interest in ancient artifacts, and while normally they don't talk much to strangers they'll INSTANTLY open up and start infodumping if that subject is even brought up once! I also like to think that they'll sometimes use Foam Armor on themselves not just for the healing properties, but because it's just a very satisfying stim <3

21 - If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

You're asking me the right questions! My favorite thing about writing Dedusmuln is how I weave the strangeness of Hylics vocabulary into their sentences, since if you've noticed I do it more heavily for them compared the other characters (besides maybe Dracula). There's been several times I reread a line I wrote for them and find myself laughing in delight with how hilariously extravagant yet earnest I've made them sound.

One that particularly gets me is one of their first lines in the opening of Outcasts in an Overcast:

“You got a nice melody goin’ on there, Dedus," Somsnosa said, "Is that from a song?”

“From an instrumental, actually. It is the ‘Joyful Platinum of the Sun Larvae’ movement from Ecdysis of Life Beings Suite No. I.," Dedusmuln cheerfully replied, "Oh how I covet the way its organs scream the image of dramatic life into my encephalon, and how the wandering theremin’s wails strum my memories with the innocent passions of youth! Really the whole piece is just so- ahhh!”

This is basically how I would talk if I were in the world of Hylics XD

Are there any MSR fics where Mulder and Scully go through the adoption process to adopt a child after IVF fails? Ideally still platonically (for the pining 😅) but I'll read anything 😂

Not quite; buuuuuuuuut there are a few where they contemplate adoption.

The Only Choice - Chapter 16/The Only Choice - Chapter 21: The Only Choice follows Scully and Mulder after All Things, but focuses more on their future together-- including multiple chapters on adoption.

marked maybe: Mulder hints at adoption post IVF failure; and assures Scully he'll do whatever it takes.

@baronessblixen's What We Are (tumblr.com) mentions Mulder's willingness to adopt if Scully wants.

Do You Want to Believe?: Chapter 19 of this entertaining Choose Your Own Adventure mentions it in.

auld acquaintance/under the stars/encephalon - Chapter 2/ashes and dust - Chapter 1: Times Mulder or Scully thought of or mentioned adoption.

Bonus fics!

Reflections: Not IVF, but post Folie a Deux Mulder and Scully adopt a child which she'd previously dreamt about.

happily Alt. Tumblr: AU where Samantha was adopted by the nurse in Closure; and after Scully finds her and the siblings catch up, she and Mulder have a conversation about the failed IVF.

www.whispersofx.net/whispersofx/stories/quissi.txt: a bonus AU where pre-S1 Scully had married an abusive Jack Willis and adopted his child. Now, she and Mulder work towards a normal, healthy relationship.

Mulder and Scully Adopt an Alien/ 100 days of 100 word dialogue prompts - Chapter 43 One of my favorite crackfic pieces: Mulder finds an alien in his apartment eating his cereal.

Petition for Mulder and Scully to adopt and raise... (tumblr.com): AU Colonization Mulder, Scully, and William adopt a tiny Flukeman.

I have a couple other adoption flavors-- William recovery or someone in canon had been adopted by someone else, etc.-- that I'll probably put into a fic list some time in the future~.

Hope these did the trick~! :DDD
