#other characters were included but not tagged cause tag limit :/

[caligvlasaqvarivm]

wanna ask how you feel about the eridan bpd headcanon/theory(?? not sure what to call it!) you're so good at your character analysis and i'd love to see your outlook on it

Since I don't have a degree or any formal training in psychology, I feel deeply uncomfortable diagnosing characters. I've made an autism joke before but only because I'm on the spectrum. He's definitely traumatized and anxious, but I mean those as descriptors of his behavior rather than capital-D Diagnoses. I try to focus on those when I can - the cause and effect of cognition, self-image, and behavior - and those factors may very well match up with DSM criteria, but I try not to touch an actual diagnosis with a ten foot pole unless the author has explicitly stated that X character has Y condition.

[shakingparadigm]

Once again, I can't really gather my thoughts cohesively on this right now, so please bear with me. Just musing, so the ideas here might be a bit disconnected.

As a prodigy artist well-versed in more than just singing, it's no suprise that art is a prominent part of Till's character. Everything associated with Till seems to carry his eccentric artistic talent, right down to the abstract symbols painted onto his otherwise blank white t-shirt.

(Till's sketching and drawing seem to go hand-in-hand with his songwriting. Doodling and composition are two of his hobbies, and he's stated to be talented at both.)

(His appearance in TOP 3 emphasizes this messy, artistic angle. The symbols painted on the wall are similar to graffiti tags, usually associated with youth and rebellion. Furthermore, there is paint splattered on his face, staining color onto his disheveled hair and baggy clothes.)

(Even amongst the TOP 3, Till is presented with the most color. Between Luka and Ivan's main colors of white and black, their formal attire and elegant, charming personas, Till looks rather out of place.)

(Till's personal/special talent is floral art.)

Art is an integral part of Till's character, something that defines him and his desire for self-expression and freedom (it's no suprise that when Till loses his will to live in ROUND 6, he's dressed in plain and monochromatic clothes that lack any of his own artistic touch). Despite the ties between creativity and freedom, Till's talents are regularly taken advantage of and even tampered with due to the treatment he receives from his owner.

Guardian Urak is an eccentric segyein. A hustler, materialistic and rather pretentious. He shows great pride in Till's "uniqueness" and artistic ability, boasting that he has raised the best human-pet in history. In order to create the success that is Till, however, Urak had to execute his methods on several other pets beforehand. His practices include the thorough abuse of his human pets in order to coax out their talents, pushing them to their limits with harsh training regimens and painful experiments. Violence is a tactic utilized heavily within Urak's line of business, and the human pets under his ownership are the most openly abused.

Urak is said to abuse his pets to the point of severe mental issues. It's due to these mental issues that his previous pets have failed to achieve victory, showing great promise but never making it to the end. He seems to believe in the idea that the peak of a human's talent is tied with their instability, that the more talented a pet human is, they more likely they are to be a freak.

Urak pushes forward with the mistreatment of his humans despite their suffering. He believes it to be a part of creating exemplary art, playing into the idea of a tortured artist. Urak's pets were incredibly talented and top contenders for the title of champion. If not for their heavily deteriorated mental states, they would have brought Urak to victory long ago. It's quite clear that he does not intend on changing his methods because the humans he produces are some of the best products around. He doesn't want to change his methods, he wants a human that can withstand them.

Till's style is already established to be unique, nicknamed a "black sheep" in his official magazine page, emphasizing individuality. His brazen aggression in ROUND 2 caused him to attract much hate, but twice as many fans, too. The bashing of Freddie was framed as a bombastic and somewhat avant-garde performance act, referred to as art. Till's public persona was that of an eccentric and unpredictable artist, a highly reactive contrarian pet who presents both a high risk and high reward. Urak has produced another tortured artist, except this one is different (in his words, unrivaled). A higher caliber of pet, bringing him the closest to winning he's ever gotten thus far.

Till's various artistic talents seem to be things that he has developed on his own, stemming from his own desires and interests rather than something forced onto him by Urak. In one of VIVINOS and QMENG's livestreams it was stated that Till is inherently gifted, a creative genius since birth. Till uses his abilities as tools of rebellion and self-expression, writing his own music, vandalizing and adjusting segyein-provided material and outfits in order to make them more his own. It's unfortunate that even Till's attempts at rebellion are taken advantage of and instead used against him. Constantly battered and bruised, isolated in a cell, forced to endure experimentation, all of his artistic ingenuity and creations have been taken by the segyein and used to promote him as a product. He has been turned into a spectacle, his misery and abuse put on display for others to gawk at. Suffering for the sake of art.

🌟 New

We’ve rolled out dashboard tab configuration options to everyone. We’re still working on adding the ability to change the default tab between Following and For You. Also, if you were in the experiment and had enabled certain tabs, like Popular Reblogs and Blog Subs, please note that those settings have moved back to the Tumblr Labs settings, instead of being configurable options in the new config screen.

We’ve deployed some performance and stability improvements for browsing feeds through the site, including the ability to truly handle endless scrolling. If you disabled endless scrolling in your dashboard preferences on web because it was laggy, give it another try! If you disabled it because you like paged browsing better, keep on keeping on! You’ll still benefit from these improvements.

We’re working on improving search across Tumblr, and one of our latest experiments is to try surfacing posts in search results based on image recognition. If you search for something on Tumblr and it returns a bunch of images that aren’t actually related to what you searched for, and have no other text or tags to indicate why you’re seeing it, please send us some feedback via Support about it, providing the search term you used and what posts didn’t make sense.

In the post editor on web, you can now choose to convert a link block down to an inline text link if you’d like, via the meatball menu on the link block that’s generated when you paste a link.

We’re shortening the ask button label maximum length to 26 characters, and providing better error messages when exceeding that limit.

Replies/reblogs/likes from blogs that have blocked the author, or the author has blocked, will no longer appear in the notes view on your posts for anyone.

We’re now filtering asks and submissions from blogs that have blocked the receiver.

🛠 Fixed

We fixed an issue on the Following and For You tabs that was sometimes causing it to take 10+ seconds to load subsequent pages as you scroll.

In the post editor on web, we’ve fixed a variety of issues with copying and pasting and selecting text.

Clicking to like a post while logged out, and then logging in, now brings you back to the post, instead of bringing you to Explore.

When uploading media in the post editor on the web, the “Post” button stays disabled until the media finishes uploading.

Removing a reblog or reply from the notes on your post removes the associated activity item as well.

Folks can no longer mention blogs that they’ve blocked or are blocked by — this was already covered in most circumstances, but we’ve fixed a few rare cases that have popped up where people have gotten around it.

10 Monster & Mythological Kintypes You Might Not Have Kinsidered!

Quick intro! I want to do some more monsterkin related original blog posts & content to make this blog more of a community hub for the monsterkins of tumblr. I'll be using #thebitingblogger for these posts! TW for some very mild mentions of gore in the context of mythology.

10. Haunted Dolls: There is definitely a large dollkin community on Tumblr but I haven't seen many haunted dolls/plushies. They're such a staple of horror media & spiritual subcultures - I'm so surprised by their absence!

9. Werecats & Other Werebeasts: The werewolfkin community on here is already limited but the werecat tag is tiny (and I don't think there even are tags for any other werekintypes)! Maybe the concept just hasn't been explored enough yet but given the popularity of other feline kintypes I wouldn't be surprised if there were some undiscovered werecats. I'd also like to add on about hellhounds & hellcats! Plenty of mythology there but a rather empty part of the kin community.

8. Revenants: Revenants are reanimated corpses revived to haunt the living. They're most prominent in Western European & Norse folklore. I can see some similarities to ghost & zombie kins but given we already have other subtypes & related kins (phantomkin etc) there is definitely a place for them in the kin community. Honestly as I'm writing this I'm starting to kinsider whether my skeletonkin might be a revenant...

7. Headless Horsemen: I suppose this is technically a human but I'd consider them a potential type of undead or spirit! The headless horseman is a recurring myth in a lot of Western Europe & America. My favourite version is the Dullahan from Irish folklore. The Dullahan is a mysterious omen, causing death whenever he stops riding. He carries his head in his arms and wields a whip made of human spine. The most famous media depiction is probably Disney's "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad." I think you can tell I'm a little bit in love with the horseman mythos...

6. Minotaurs, Centaurs & Fauns: I'm not sure I'd consider these monsters but they fit with the themes of the rest of the list! A minotaur is a man with the upper half/head of a bull, a centaur is a man with the body of a horse and a faun is a man with the legs of a goat or deer, often accompanied by horns or antlers. Man is being used without gender here. I originally was only going to write about Minotaurs as I've seen plenty of centaur & faun kins but there's no harm in including everyone! I'm not going to type out the entire mythology of these creatures but a fun fact for you is that the Minotaur of Crete's real name was Asterion!

5. Selkies: Again, not sure if these would be monsters but they fit the list & some retellings portray them as such! Selkies are humans (by appearance, not species) that can take the form of seals using their fur coats. If their coat is stolen, they can be forced to marry the person who has it.

4. Gorgons: Just talking about these as a species rather than their specific Greek mythos. Gorgons are humans with hair made of snakes. Often different interpretations give them patches/designs of scales, snakelike markings and/or fangs. My favourite modern depiction of a gorgon is Viperine from Monster High!

3. The Grim Reaper: I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been kinsidering this for a while! There are hundreds of personifications of Death throughout the history of humanity but the Reaper is probably one of the most recognisable in modern times. The Grim Reaper is most frequently depicted as a skeleton in a cloak, suit of armour or robes, bearing a farmer's scythe (it harvests souls like crops). I've been talking about media interpretations of these throughout so shoutout to Discworld Death, one of my favourite comfort characters! I love the animated version of Soul Music.

2. Shade: Finding information on this one was a little challenging! Shades are the spirits, ghosts or apparitions of someone currently residing in the underworld.

1. Custom Monsters: Got a bunch of phantom limbs that don't match a different kin? Have memories of being/feel like a cryptid that doesn't currently exist as a legend? Be your own monsterkin. Be a kin of your own species. I have one! I just need to actually draw them...

That's all folks! 10 more niche monster & mythological kintypes for you to kinsider! Please send me an ask (anon is enabled) or reblog or whatever if you're any of those kintypes, I'd love to hear from you! As always, please do your own research on these species & their folklore, I've only done some brief googling to add some more context to this list. This blog is for entertainment purposes, not educational! Let me know if you guys like seeing this sort of content though, I've really enjoyed researching this so I might start doing some more in-depth and well-researched posts on some of these.

A/N: Hello! I'm so, so sorry about the delay! My ADHD has been kicking my ass for the last couple of weeks and istg i feel like i can't do anything. Anyways. I had to split this chapter in half, cause it was getting ridiculously long again, and I wasnt going to finish the rest of it today. (I have this new app on my phone that is voice-to-text and it changed my life! All the dialogues i keep forgetting bc of lack of energy to write i can just *dictate* and it feels so good lol. It also lenghtened this quite a bit, tho.) No moodboard for this one either, not yet. I'll try to make one tomorrow (or in a few hours, as it is, once again, 5am). No beta and English is not my native language, so any mistakes please point them out. I hope you enjoy this one! I'm very curious about what you'll think of this one ;P Oh, WARNING:This contains violence, threats of rape towards Charles and other children's souls, etc.

Part Three: Paths Converging

They headed back to the office. On the way, Crystal with her phone in her ear, Edwin had explained the general gist of things to her. Mainly that the other ghost hadn’t known the location of the lair of the witch, but had visited a few times. To allow him to travel there via mirror, she had given him a token attuned to him and his energy. They could use the token, but not to travel with it more than once; and definitely not to escape the place. (Not to mention that Crystal would have never let Edwin go on his own alone, without even the possibility of helping him. She was glad, still, that the ghost boy had not even suggested that.)

“So how can we use it?” she asked, looking right at him, as she plopped down on the couch. They were inside the office now and nosy taxi drivers couldn’t watch her suspiciously anymore. Also, she was exhausted and couldn’t bother with more acting for a couple of hours.

Edwin had gone straight to the massive pile of books on top of every single flat surface, including boxes full of files. He had looked at the books covering the desk for a full thirty seconds and then sent a wave of the black smoke at them, and they actually began moving on their own towards the floor. Crystal was…ignoring that for now, for the sake of her sanity. (How many things was she already ignoring?)

“I think I can combine a couple of rituals to create a sort of…tether, between Charles and myself.” he replied to her, as he removed his outer layers. “This would, basically, allow us to communicate with him and follow his energy to the place where the witch has absconded him.”

“Don’t tethers usually need something more physical to work?” she questioned, curious. At least that’s what the book she had been reading before their last case went wildly off course had said. Maybe the black smoke allowed him to tweak the limits?

“I have something more physical of his.” Edwin said, touching Charles’ necklace still around his neck. ”And for me, well, some blood or the ghost equivalent should work.”  His eyes showed his mind went far, far away for a couple of moments. She said nothing, remembering the sudden rush of cold, dark, wet she had felt the last time she touched it. Edwin eventually shook off the melancholy and straightened his posture.

“I will need to compile the different arrays and rites I need to build this ritual. It will take me at least a few hours, so I suggest you rest up.” 

“Are you sure I can’t help you…?” she asked, despite knowing he probably wouldn’t let her. Building rituals from scratch was a whole new area and she had exactly zero experience with that.

“Crystal.” He sighed, already spreading an alarming amount of books on the now clean desk. “I don’t mean to be rude, but unless you have a working knowledge of any of the Celtic languages, Aramaic, Latin or Fuþorc Runes I’ll ask you to keep out of it.”

“Okay, okay.” she rolled her eyes. Kicking her shoes off, she got comfortable on the couch and covered herself with the blanket.  “But wake me up if you need to leave, alright?” she mumbled, half asleep already. “I don’t wanna panic if you’re not there when I wake up…”

Several hours later, Edwin shook her awake. Still woozy from sleep, she understood he needed a specific kind of knife he didn’t have but knew where to get. And that he had to travel by mirror to the place. She mumbled her understanding to him, and he left. 

It was only when she was about to drop back into a deep sleep that her brain actually zoned in to the important part. She sat up on the couch so suddenly she felt dizzy.

“ Esther Finch’s fucking house!?” she yelled at the flat mirror, frustrated beyond belief. “Are you shitting me , Edwin!?” she cursed at the empty office. She creamed into the pillow a bit more, then got up. At least this should give her time to shower.

—-- —-- —--

—-- —-- —--

Edwin really doesn’t want to go back to Port Townsend. The place was bleak, damp and filled with memories of suffering. Whether it is mental, emotional or physical; he’d experienced more pain in that little town in a single month than in the rest of the world in the last fifteen years. 

But Charles was missing. Taken by another witch with a penchant for sick, twisted games and children’s pain. The ritual he came up with was novel and needed every single element to work. The dagger was fundamental. Edwin could not risk wasting more time looking for another knife with the same qualities when he already knew the location of one.

So he travelled to Port Townsend via mirror. He landed in Crystal’s old room above Jenny’s shop, and walked up to the house in a disguise. It was better than trying to travel directly inside Finch’s house, which surely had enchantments against ghosts using her mirrors that way.

As soon as his feet landed inside a ten metre radius, he could feel the repellent wards telling him to go away. This magic felt different than Finch’s. Probably the Cat King, then. Or maybe Tragic Mick? He ignored the compulsion, and kept walking up the path into the porch. 

He took off his glasses before reaching the stairs, and became his true self again. A loud caw immediately greeted him. He paused and looked back,  and saw Monty in his true form on a tree branch. The pause allowed the crow to land in the handrail of the porch, exuding an air of disapproval. Edwin sighed. 

“I need to get something from inside this house.” he said, focusing on one of the crows’ eyes. “I’m not going to-” he paused before he promised something he couldn’t keep. Because he couldn’t promise not to hurt someone with what he took from inside. “I’m going to get something from inside this house.” He said instead. “And you are not going to stop me.”

Monty lifted into the air, agitated, cowing. His wings produced so much wind that Edwin took a step back, but then straightened up and pulled his notebook and held it open with one hand.

“I don’t want to hurt you, Monty.” he stated. “But I will if you try to stop me.” His other hand opened and a bright orange flame erupted, tinged with wisps of black. An alarmed cry made Edwin feel like garbage, but he held the flame on his palm. In control, but ready to attack.

The crow flew off then, shrill caws on his way. Edwin took a deep breath and extinguished the fire, wiping his hand on his coat. He pocketed his notebook and climbed the stairs. Fortunately, he went in as easily as he had done for Becky.

By the time Edwin had found the dagger, and snatched a book that looked like it had been involved in the creation of the ghastly machine that so much pain it had caused him; it was already too late. He felt a pulse of energy from outside, and cursed under his breath. He could try to undo the spells on the mirrors of the house, but that would take too long. So he sighed and marched outside. 

“Edwin, Edwin, Edwin. You don't write, you don't call…” the Cat King said with a fake moue. Edwin looked up and saw Monty flying in circles above their heads. Little snitch , he thought, resentful.

“Cat King.” he said, nodding in respect, trying to walk around him. “I'm just leaving.” But diplomacy never worked on him. 

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” The other man clicked his tongue, stepping in Edwin’s path. The ghost boy stopped where he was, not willing to get closer.

“What do you think you are doing, entering the house of the Wicked Witch of the West?” The shapeshifter asked, sauntering around him. He was wearing heeled boots, and it added a little height difference that irked Edwin.  

“I already have what I came here looking for. Now, if you please, I'm in a hurry.” Edwin tried to give another step, but the Cat King walked closer again, forcing him to step back. He was not putting himself in reach again. Monty cowed, flying faster, agitated.

“No. I don't think I please.” he tilted his head. “Knowledge like Esther's is dangerous. And I just can't let you leave with something dangerous.” The trickster’s tone was still playful, and it was grating on Edwin’s nerves.

“Knowledge is just knowledge.” the detective said, exasperated. “And I'm not asking you for permission.” he countered, snappish, head held high. “You're wasting my time .” The Cat King’s eyes shone.

“You should always have time for me, dear.” he said, smile cutting. “I can always just trap you here again, Edwin.” He offered, the smile still on.

“...And I can always start killing your subjects until you let me leave. But we are not doing that, are we, Thomas? ” he smirked back, biting. There was something cold in those green eyes that made the shifter want to shiver. The faint wisps of black coming up from the ground were certainly unnerving. Monty screeched in alarm and abruptly landed on a branch several metres down. 

“You know my name.” the Cat King realised, stepping back. 

“I do. I know a lot of things about you now.” the ghost added, taking a step forward. “You like to play games . But I already knew that, from last time.” Edwin took another step closer. “The difference is, Charles is not with me right now. And I don't have a lot of patience for games when he is in danger.” he snarled. 

“So that is why you're doing this? For him? You came all the way to America, to the house where you were tortured in, just for him ?” Thomas asked, indignant.

“I would do many more things for him.” Edwin stated, staring right into those yellow eyes, daring. The shifter scoffed, leaning closer, looking down at the ghost.

“Like threatening me?” The man asked, incredulous.

“I'm not threatening you. I'm warning you.” Edwin said, looking up, teeth bared. It looked more like a show of aggression from a cornered animal than a smile. “You're either on my side, or standing in my fucking way. And I'll get through anything standing in my way to get to him.” Their faces were only a few centimetres apart now, noses almost touching.

Thomas knew, in that moment, that Edwin was being completely honest. He seemed not to care a single bit what could happen to him as long as he could leave to go help his little friend. Nor what enemies he could leave behind. The Cat King felt a bit peeved about it, quite hot under the collar, and a lot jealous. That kind of loyalty to another person, to the point of detriment to yourself? He’d never felt it nor had he had it. It was alluring , damn it.   

“Deathly little thing, aren’t you?” he whispered to this mysterious boy, unwillingly feeling more attracted to him still. The tension between them finally broke when Edwin’s lips formed a teasing smile and his eyes softened a little.

“Only when I have to.” he whispered back, before breaking his gaze and pressing the faintest of kisses on Thomas’ jaw, surprising him. He then sidestepped him and walked out of the yard. 

By the time the Cat King turned around, Edwin was already jumping into a puddle, travelling to where he needed to be. Monty cowed twice and Thomas felt the hidden amusement.

“Oh, shut it, bird-boy. Like you didn’t defy your witch for him, even after he rejected you.” he snapped. 

—-- —-- —--

—-- —-- —--

Charles woke up all at once, gasping. He was sopping wet and chained to the ceiling. The metal of the chains was iron, and they were burning every part of his body that touched them. He was still only wearing his trousers, felt his extremities numb with cold and some of his curls had crusted over with ice.

When his eyes got used to the dim room, he could see it was the same basement he had been trapped in since the beginning. The only real difference was that he wasn’t alone this time. There was a woman on the corner, deep in the shadows. For what he could see, she was pretty fit. Charles might have looked twice if he had seen her on the street.  But with her wild blonde hair, tight red dress and tall boots; she looked like she was wearing a halloween costume that couldn’t decide if it was vampire or witch. A large white spider, with its eyes closed, peacefully placed inside her hair didn’t help matters. He had almost missed it.

“You’re finally awake!” she cheered, getting closer. “Now we can finally get started .” her grin was dangerous and the boy felt a shiver go down his spine.

Taking advantage of the fact that his feet barely touch the ground, she spun him around, making him lose balance. His knee buckled under him and his whole weight was left suspended from his shoulders until he managed to find his footing again. He was trembling even worse  after that, and tears of frustration began leaking from his eyes.

“Are you crying? How cute .” she cooed, grabbing his face and licking the trail the drop had left on his cheek. ”I’d give you a comfort kiss, but I don’t snog anyone that’s not my man.”

“You. Are. Crazy.” Charles said, leaning away from her. The spider opened its eyes and winked with half of them, waving two of its legs. The shivers got worse.

“Don’t be like that, poppet. Everything I’m doing is for love.”

“ Love ?” he repeated, sceptical. 

“Yes! I’m gonna get the love of my life back, and you’re gonna help me.”

“I don’t know anything about love potions or spells; we don’t mess with that shite.” Charles explained, weary. The witch snorted, the spider wiggled, like it was laughing too. (Was this her familiar? Did it share the same amount of sentience as Monty? Somehow, that thought was terrifying).

“Pffff, I don’t mean like that . My boo and I were tragically separated when he was killed by the police and then he got dragged to Hell! ” she huffed. “Like, what even? I just want him back .” 

Usually, Charles was willing to give everyone a chance to explain themselves. It’s not like the system was flawless. Good souls could be sent to Hell, like it had happened with Edwin. 

However, since he was still shivering from the literal torture this woman had put him through (torture she implied her ‘boo’ would enjoy); he would go out on a limb an bet the bloke completely deserved his tenure in Hell.

“And why was he killed by the police?” he asked anyway, already tired of dealing with this. The chat was a step up from the freezing water, but the talk itself so far was three steps down from the earlier solitude.

“Because his stupid best friend and he decided to rob a bank!” she exclaimed, clearly miffed. This time, when she grabbed him to spin him around, her nails left deep scratches, burning and bleeding. This bitch had iron in her nail polish, apparently. “They were caught doing that. I mean, you have to give it to the pigs. They really messed up on that one.”she laughed. “They were caught and got done in as fucking robbers. They didn't even search their flat! They just killed them and left them at the morgue.  They never found out that we were the ones dropping the mangled bodies everywhere.”

“You're sick.” Charles said, swallowing, as he found his rooting again. 

“Oh, baby, of course I am. Didn't I tell you already? I love making people break, playing with them.” She licked her lips, seductive. The ghost boy just felt nauseous. “What I love even more is watching my man do it for me. And that's why you're going to help me bring him back.”

“From Hell ?” He asked, incredulous. “Even if I wanted to, I couldn't help you. Edwin is the one with the knowledge of Hell and its paths, not me. You chose the wrong one of us to kidnap.”

“I don’t think I did. Word is, you are the one that I saved him from hell this time.” she smiled.  She put her extended arm on his shoulder and placed her weight on the claw-like nails sinking in the muscle there. He felt blood dripping down his back. The spider began walking down her shoulder and onto her arm. Leaning in until their faces almost touched, she looked him dead in the eyes, despite his efforts to keep the blasted thing in his line of sight. 

“I did, yeah.” He admitted. “But I had help. I had someone else, much more powerful than I or you ever could be. They opened a portal down to Hell and they kept it open until we got back. You can't do that.” He swallowed. “Can you?” he couldn’t stop himself from asking, now looking at the spider.

Cursing, she pushed him back and started roaming the room, hands wildly gesturing. The spider had quickly climbed up to her head again. Charles had lost his balance and was spinning again, but at least that beast was not near him. He took her cursing as a negative to his question. Charles wanted to believe this was good news (he dreaded the thought of that man anywhere but Hell), but you never knew how others were going to react when you didn’t give them the information they wanted. This woman? Completely bonkers. Hopefully she would just let him in here, until Edwin rescued him. Suddenly, she stopped in the middle of the basement.

“Hmm, maybe I can't open up a portal. But I can make a deal with a demon so that I can get into hell.” She was smiling again. “And you will help me find my way out.”

“A deal with a demon is a terrible idea. Besides, lady, even if I tell you all I know about hell, which I won’t do. The level Edwin was at? It was terrible, but it wasn't that deep. The level your boo must be in… it has to be one of the deepest and darkest ones, just based on what you describe me you two did, to people.”

“I can think of a few things I can offer the demon so that he helps me.” she countered, now pensive instead of agitated.

“Like what?”

“Like you, your soul. Essence, whatever. Or one of the others’.” Charles was almost afraid to ask.

“Others?”

“Oh, yeah. I've been collecting little souls as gifts for my boyfriend when he comes back. Since, you know, he won't be able to interact with the living now he is dead and will become a ghost.”

“... Little souls?” he asked again, disgusted. He tried leaning away, but she plunged her nails into his face to keep his eyes on her. 

“Yeah, the souls of little ones!” she smiled, and it was a terrible smile. A wild hunger seemed to seep from her feverish eyes. “He's not that much into kids. He prefers young people, teenagers, you know.” she winked at him, suggestive.

“So he's a paedophile, but not that much of a paedophile?” Charles mocked, deciding to ignore the implications. 

She let go of his face only to slap him hard, hard enough to leave deep gouges from the iron on the nails she wore.

“He hates that word!” she screamed, offended. “He just… really loves young people.” The sheer incredulity must have shown on his face, because she just continued. “Anyways, I was collecting these souls so he could play with them when he comes back, you know? I bet he will be in a foul mood, and I just thought 'well what better way to cheer him up than letting him blow off some steam on a couple souls he will find pleasing?’ ' I took great care in ensuring they were innocent, as well. The responses to all the pain and the bit of little pleasure here and there that we can teach them are always the best .” she sighed, dreamy. “And ghosts are so much more resilient! We can play with you and play with you and play with you until you break.” She said, eyes evaluating him up and down. “And then we can start all over again!” she laughed.

Charles puked all over the floor.

"You truly are," he said in disgusted awe " the most despicable person I've ever met. And a few months ago I was at the mercy of a witch that cannibalised little girls. "

“Oh, cannibalism.” she hummed. “That sounds fun, doesn’t it, Ari?” she cooed at her familiar, reaching for the thing. “You have to get me her number.” she said to him.

Charles spat at her. It barely touched her face before she shrieked and sent him crashing to the back of the room. The chains had fallen from the ceiling and onto his torso, burning him terribly.  

“And you need to learn some manners." She said as he screamed from the sudden agony. Then she turned her back on him and walked towards the door. "I guess I will just leave you to repeat the cycle until you have had enough."

Charles’ last coherent thought before he was dropped under the thick frozen layer of water of the lake instead of through the ice as always, was that Edwin and he would absolutely need to save those poor spirits.

—-- —-- —--

—-- —-- —--

“That took longer than you said it would.” Crystal said as soon as he stepped through the mirror into the office. “Did the house not let you in?” she asked, remembering how they had just phased through the walls last time.

“The house gave me no problem at all.” Edwin answered, placing the knife on the desk. “It was Monty, actually.” he explained, with a grimace. “I had an encounter with the Cat king,” Crystal’s eyebrow went up “but not much came out of it. He was very insistent about not letting any kind of knowledge leave that witch's house.” He took off his coat and his gloves and, uncharacteristically, threw them onto the couch. It was the only free surface, she supposed. “Which would normally be a good thing, but in these circumstances, I could not abide by it.”

“And did he give you any trouble?” she questioned, sceptical. 

“He tried to threaten me, so I just…threatened him back.” Edwin said, unbuttoning his cuffs and rolling up his sleeves, trying to play it off as unimpressive. Yeah, Crystal was not gonna let that one slide.

“ You threatened the Cat King?” she said, incredulous. “He left you trapped in Port Townsend for weeks!”

“Ah, but I didn't know anything about him back then.” He countered. “And I wasn't dabbling in anything more dangerous than usual. And perhaps the most important thing of all…” Edwin started, leafing through his notes.

“...It was you in danger, not Charles.” Crystal interrupted, finishing the idea.

“Exactly.” He said, pleased that she understood this about him by now.

As they began prepping the materials for this massive ritual, she managed to corroborate that it was far beyond anything they had shown her so far. The ritual seemed so complicated. Beyond the dagger that he had to pick up from the other side of the world, it required them to move every single piece of furniture against the walls, then grabbing the bathroom mirror for a later use. 

After that, they placed a bedsheet on the floor, drawing a big circle on it with black chalk, and drew a set of runes inside it, near the centre. Then Edwin grabbed Charles' backpack, and took out a bottle full of a viscous dark liquid. He then lit a dozen candles inside the marked circle, each one in its specific place. A wave of different smells assaulted Crystal’s nose. She supposed that ghosts weren’t bothered by it since they couldn't smell much. She tried very hard not to sneeze.

Edwin retrieved two different cups from a cupboard, one made from silver and one from crystal, and poured the liquid from the bottle inside the silver one. For the other, he took out Esther’s knife from his pocket and sliced his forearm with it. Blood tinted with ectoplasm began to pour inside the empty cup, and once it was three quarters full he removed the wound from it to avoid overspilling. He slid two fingers over the wound and the black smoke that was becoming familiar to Crystal ate up the blood and sealed the wound. Then, he reached for Charles' chain around his neck and took it off. Gently, he let it fall inside the cup that had his blood. He took a big piece of parchment paper, those old ones that you see only in movies, yellowed with age, thick, and coarse to the touch. 

With a grimace, he sank his fingers into the first cup. A low hum came from his throat, sounding almost like words but not really. He began writing symbols with the blood onto the parchment. With the other hand, he began tracing the same symbols again, on another blank sheet of parchment, on top of the first one. These symbols were mirrored, and written with his own blood from the second cup. Once he was done, a string of Latin came out of his lips, and the second set of symbols lifted up in the air, glowing golden light, and fused into the first set, on the first sheet of parchment. The other parchment disintegrated as soon as the last trace of blood left the paper. 

Edwin let out a breath Crystal hadn't noticed he was holding. Done, he took the parchment, and began ripping it in pieces, keeping each symbol inside its own square of paper, and placed the symbols inside the circle according to the instructions written down by his own hand. The bloody symbols then sank through the paper and sealed themselves to the linen fabric. Edwin waved his hand and all the blank pieces of paper flew from the array. Then he took the necklace from inside the second cup and put it into the first cup. 

He took the bathroom mirror, and placed it in the middle of the circle array spell, then took the necklace out of the cup and flicked it in the air where it remained still, frozen in place at about two metres high. The symbols on the bedsheet and the blood on the necklace pulsed with golden energy every couple of heartbeats.

“I need you,” he started to say, very clearly, “to not, for any reason, enter the circle.”

“All right” she said, heart beating like crazy. 

“Whatever I ask you to bring me, you will put it inside the circle without touching inside it.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.” Edwin repeated, breathing deep. He knelt beside the foggy mirror on the floor and began writing on it with his finger. At the same time, he spoke up, to keep her in the loop. “Charles? Are you there?”

Charles

are you there?

Since Fatal Lavenders will be discontinued / wont have another chapter for this year- I'm dropping off notes-

OLD CONCEPT REF SHEET

CURRENT CONCEPT

These were all part lore dumps that I never gave more details for her character I just want people to know that she aint dead. Yet.

INCOMING LORE:

HEATHER'S LORE:

Lets just say her Human body became permanent right after PV created it just for her. In order for the body to deform and revert back to goop- the USB had to be broken.

The USB is supposedly attached INSIDE of her right hand- (I didn't included that because it mightve been a bit too gore-ish black-)

She had those clear milk skin, more of a brownish color hair, and also heterochromia eyes.

And ofcourse, Four's favorite color. Blue. The thought of matching colors with your partner would've been a thing by now for her.

In the end of the plot- she was different than that- she considered to be one of those good people who change for the better. (This was her second option)

SMG3 is just jealous when she's around with him but doesn't say a word, remains to be silent all the time.

The clear skin is supposed to be vitiligo and such as her eyes are like bright blue ones. She wears casual clothes than the overalls.

Heather uses She/Her pronouns. Her sexuality is undefined.

SHORTER THAN SMG4! She is genuinely a nice person (even at the end) but since I didn't like the plot of soft- I erased her full character and made a new one for TAG6 as a replacement.

Heather died happily and accepted her fate.

The flowers symbolize as the main characters:

Orange - Meggy

Red - Mario

Purple - SMG3

Blue - SMG4

Light blue - P E A C H

TAG6's LORE:

She had tanned skin and a curly brunette hair. Just by looking at her eyes you KNOW there's something up with it.

Unlike anyones white eyes, they have one more of a yellow-ish detail of color. The overalls are part of what the usb could copy just like Three and Four's main one.

For TAG6, their Human Body is temporary. By what Puzzles made for her has a limit due to the USB's capacity. With that said- the USB is right inside of her. To function it must be there.

Tag6 is shown to have a mean trait- tho she never loved SMG4 at all and to anyone else she doesn't like anyone that they encounter.

The lilac filled on their eyes have somekind of hypnotism when people stare at it. (It may work for some but it doesn't work all of the time)

I thought of making her whole appearance give out the lilac theme due to the mixture of RED and BLUE.

(Which is aka SMG3 and SMG4's eye color and since they helped each other out to finish the usb I think they shared some of their links)

Tho TAG6 does have a yellow appearance in its Combat mode.

Tag6 uses she/they/it pronouns. Its orientation is Aromantic.

THEY'RE SLIGHTLY TALLER THAN SMG4! (Suprisingly this doesn't bother him at all since any woman/men is what he'd prefer-)

And since SMG3 is different to act here when with TAG, he starts up an arguement calling her as weak/selfish than she already is. Causing them to piss off and smash his face with its hammer to the air.

Tag6 can be a bit more impatient, they may look like they're a nice person in general but literally they do it for attention and to get what they're willing to succeed.

But in reality behind their mask they turn out to be the cold hearted, uncaring, hateful, disgusted, and a negative being out of all existance.

At the end of the plot they didn't give a damn when it came to SMG4 she just wanted to finish the mission for its master. But since it failed, she never cared anymore less rather than punching insults at Four.

She gives out the color of Lavender which also is close to main purple (because Purple is SMG3's color signature as well-) TAG6 is basically a copy of that color as well.

I think those are all of it- thank you so much for reading everyone I hope I made some of yall inrerested about this lore because not any other people can create such an amazing idea like this one-

Also for those who are waiting for the new chapter it wont come out this year so you'll have to expect it for the early 2025th

[fe-smashorpass]

Introduction! (Please Read)

Inspired by other smash or pass blogs, this one is about Fire Emblem characters!

My name is Mod Garn and I use she/her!

Will only be posting characters who are 18+ but since this is Fire Emblem not everyone has a canon age. Even if they do, a character's age can be called into question (here’s another post I made on this topic). TL;DR I'll be arbitrarily judging a character if they look old enough for this. If you think a character should or shouldn't be here, I am sorry.

I will be doing almost every character in the franchise, including from the mainline and spin-off games, one off generics, the cipher exclusives, and manga exclusives.

Also I am splitting up characters who are technically the same character but under different identities.

Characters that will be excluded are:

underage characters (as mentioned before)

characters without a decent (or any) picture of them

Characters who share the same portrait as each other since that will be redundant

Generic portraits for classes, so if a character uses a generic class portrait (ex the 10 elites from fe3h) they won't be included (the only exceptions are Abysskeeper and Gatekeeper)

I'll be posting 3 characters a day, alphabetically, at 12PM EST.

Also thank you to reddit user u/Just_Nefariousness55 for making this post compiling every character in the games. My life was made so much easier because of you.

Also I made this uquiz and I would appreciate it if you took it :)

FAQ under the cut (please read!)

Q. Why? A. Because I can

Q. What’s the age limit of the polls? A. I’d rather not have any underage people rebloging/commenting/liking on the smash or pass polls (for y’all’s safety)

Q. I don't care for the other things on this blog, what are the tags for the smashing or passing? A. #fe smash or pass and #fire emblem smash or pass are the tags used for the actual smash or pass polls, in case you don't care for the random bs I sometimes post on this blog

Q. Why are people smashing/passing X character? A. IDK!!! Maybe to piss people off. Maybe the character is not as hot as you think. Maybe something else. Baseline is… I don’t know!

Q. Can you post X character? A. No, as I've stated before, I post characters alphabetically and certain characters will be excluded due to a multitude of reasons (read above). If you're asking me if I were to smash or pass a certain character, please specify and I will answer.

Q. Can you add a “not attracted to character’s gender” option? A. No I don’t think it’s necessary to have, you can just press “pass” or not vote at all

Q. Why is fe2 Nuibaba your pfp? A. It funni

Q. IDK this character, can I still participate in the poll? A. Sure! You can decide whether to smash or pass just based on looks

Q. Can I explain the reason why I would/wouldn't smash? A. Yes cause I'm nosey

Q. What will happen once you’re finished with all the characters? A. I’ll do the generic portraits for classes and idk what will happen afterwards

Q. Are you a fan of Digimon? A. Yes :}

[hezenkoss]

tagged by @arisatominakos to do this lil poll...!!

pick your favourite ship featuring at least one oc of mine :3 i am literally only including my two primary afhiri ships because i think this is a fucking war because i have friends who rlly don't like one and adore the other and theres some clear bias shit going on so I WILL MAKE THEM FIGHT. under the read more is some info about both ships and the characters :) candor is ofc another oc of mine and gale is. mr dekarios

i will not be tagging anyone because this kind of embarrasses me.... LDKSJFSDF wait i lie i tag @aeducanthaig @roseeway i know who null will vote for actually... IF YOU WANNA DO THIS CONSIDER URSELF TAGGED PLEASE!!!!! this is such a good idea i'm just a twit

afhiri is my sweet lil bardic clown tiefling that i feel like everyone who follows me knows intimately by now SL;DFKSDF ... if you don't know much about afhiri.... afhiri is very silly and very sweet, uneducated and purposefully pretends to be much more immature and childish than they actually are because they are quite literally trying to relive their childhood that was stolen from them! they don't like responsibility or emotional conflict! they do like to sing and dance and have fun :3

candor is a solar angel who acts as a steward and avatar for lathander and is very calm and collected .. stern, sotic, quite dry and humourless.... is undergoing a self imposed exile because it feels like it failed lathander (it literally didnt). believes wholly in honour and duty and justice, is absolutely full to the brime with affection and love and shows it wholly through loyal devotion and service .

candor finds afhiri during the exile and decides to protect her from herself (and her wild magic) . candor fully believes they are soulmates and when candor was created at the beginning of the universe it was created with a missing piece, and that afhiri is that piece ..... also candor is 10ft tall and afhiri is 5ft tall so like. :) they are extremely gentle and sweet together. afhiri is not a calm person at all and is quite against anything that tries to get her to be srs at any amounts cuz it frightens them. but candor is different. candor threatens everything afhiri is trying to build (running away from themselves and what they were forced to become for their family) but afhiri doesn't run from candor.... it is security, it is safety. it is ok to be their entire self around candor. candor leaves at the end of the game feeling worthy of returning to lathanders side, and promises afhiri that when she dies, it will guide her through the upper planes and they will spend eternity together

afhiri x gale is super funny to me i rewrote canon a bit with it so picture this . wyll and karlach are partners in my canon, and afhiri is acting as a sort of replacement for karlach in intimacy between the couple . gale sees this as afhiri being a third partner in the relationship and grows jealous because he likes afhiri and believes he could be better for her so the act 2 scene is him confessing his feelings and asking for her to give him a chance because he knows they'll create beautiful magic together.. and afhiri laughs in his face cuz she's just fwb with them man. god gale ur so silly. i like silly. mwah mwah anyway that's how that relationship starts. i like afhiri x gale because to me its about keeping gale young... she is fun and full of energy and life and gale has kept himself locked away for a year to wither and wilt and afhiri is a burning sun who makes him feel alive ... this relationship ends up quite toxic however, a certain event happens that causes gale to kill afhiri (and candor gets involved its a whole drama) and gale feels so much guilt and fear at the realisation of death separating them that they have limited time hes back on his god bullshit ^_^ though it's not all bad. in my canon afhiri and gale ascend together and candor and afhiri are reunited in the upper planes but its a bit different :) (candor isnt happy, but devoted itself to afhiri instead of lathander all the same) .

as u can see afhiri x candor and afhiri x gale has quite a lot of overlapping and theres some poly stuff going on here i could talk about it forever.....

[nashs-au-rpblog]

Welcome to Nash’s Character Hell!!

hey, howdy! nash speaking.

opening this blog up to roleplay w my characters and the characters of others to keep roleplaying off my main blog [nashdoesstuff] and so people can ask about them

without further ado, meet my blorbos!

Renevou / Vou ~ a shattered!dream au of which ate the negativity apple to become the guardian of negativity, taking over his brother’s original post. goes by vou in the multiverse, but can be called dream too. they use all pronouns and are genderfluid. kindheartedness, honesty, and determination drives them, but their negative apple may reveal a side of himself they don’t want others to see. works alone, and resides in a small cottage in the outskirts of the multiverse.

fun facts:

vou is british! she was even nicknamed “brittered” by friends on my discord server and has kind of stuck since, but please don’t call them that ❤️

his soul is considered unstable and can act up often, causing abrupt emotions and actions.

his social and love life is down the drain— they would like to improve, but people have been rude to them more times than preferred, so they keep to themselves often.

HE LOVES DRESSES‼️ if she could, she’d wear them every day.

Rêve [re-v] ~ a positive guardian incarnation, following the death of dream [of whom was shattered] in their universe. she and her brother nuit [played/owned by @/denieatsart] were raised by ink and zephyrtop, and the two are new to the whole guardian thing and are used to being harassed by others in multiverse because of the mistakes of their past lives. she is trans, autistic, a minor, and uses she/they pronouns. she’s very socially anxious, but sweet, empathetic, lively, and sometimes naïve when she warms up to others.

fun facts:

rêve enjoys cooking and baking! she considers it a hobby.

she often compares herself to dream, constantly frantic about whether or not she does things like him.

she has a rat-shaped pet names finity of which is way too smart to be considered normal.

she has weapons that fit her needs whenever she most needs them, but she can’t summon them on command.

that’s mostly it for now— i can roleplay as other utmv characters including but not limited to:

dream and/or shattered

killer

nightmare [on occasion, depends on my mood]

ink [same as above]

character not listed? just ask!

feel free to dm, ask, or tag in posts to prompt me! please include what character you want me to interact with, please <3

Lieutenantfloyd's Masterlist

So, it's finally time for me to an accessible on both mobile and desktop. I know many people (myself included) prefer to read on mobile devices, so this will allow that to be done a whole lot easier. This will replace my old mobile masterlists, but my regular (desktop) masterlists will remain up and be as i post.

Because Tumblr has an embedded link limit, This masterlist only includes my posts for Top Gun, Dune, Tom Cruise, Call of Duty, Elvis Presley, Outer Range, Masters of the Air, and Marvel. My posts for other fandoms can be found here.

[cogaytes]

i know it's not directed at me, but my conversation starter is that i personally find fandom as a place for anyone and everyone. i think my genuine confusion for the discourse is that the age limit to use ao3 is 13, and that most of these works in question are properly tagged as well. (if they aren't then that's an entirely different conversation.)

oh and also that teenagers have sex?

if you don't wanna see it that's never a huge problem! of course you should stay within your comfort zone and avoid things that make you feel uncomfortable (especially if you're on the younger age of the spectrum of minors on these websites!)

but arguing that smut shouldn't exist is something i've never truly understood. Sexuality is something that people (yes that includes young people) can and should explore if they want to. Writing and consuming it in fandom is a way for many older teenagers and young adults to do that in a safe and healthy way.

Especially when it is those things like rape and non-con stuff--shouldn't we be relieved that instead of causing harm to others, people are just using their creativity to write about it?

Tumblr has always been the Gay People Site™, and to me and my expression of both my gender and sexuality, sex is a huge part of that. People have sex! Teenagers have sex! Some people even like to read and write about it!

Unfortunately for a lot of people, their self expression is not socially accepted as the norm, and they can--and may already have--faced disgust and discrimination for their private interests. Sites like Archive of our Own and Tumblr were made for the freedom of self expression and exploring personal interests in an anonymous way, especially those that may be considered taboo.

Will you find me reading incest fics? Probably not, that's not my cup of tea. But I won't complain either, because I know that it may be that for the author and some other people. As long as a fic is properly tagged, I personally do not have issue with content as long as it does not cause mental or physical harm to other (real world) people.

These are fictional characters, and I truly believe that censoring authors and artists just because what they're creating is considered problematic or even just openly disobeys what is widely accepted as the norm is silly and reductive of what we've been fighting for for decades. Humans are sexual beings with sexual minds, and in our modern age we use our thoughts to write whatever we feel like. Sometimes that happens to be sex!

It may be uncomfortable, and may not be for you, but the existence of fanfiction as a whole can open up more understanding for people who are looking for connection, not just connection that you yourself deem "acceptable."

Sex is not something that's impure nor dirty, it is inherently human. It's personal and intimate, but it is not wrong.

this ask is mostly applied to what i've found in kotlc as a fandom, but my inbox is open anytime if you (or anyone who may read this) wants me to expand more on fandom spaces as a whole. i have more thoughts on real world people and a lot of other topics, but i tried to keep it to just what applied to keeper. (trying not to write an entire essay in yours haha.)

i'm aware that i may have a more lenient view on this than most as well, so i'd love to hear your thoughts <3

yeah no i agree basically with all of this! it's something i've been really grappling with over the last few years (especially recently as a ship i really find uncomfortable has become big in some of my circles of mutuals, which has been interesting to see how i thought about it when it was first a thing 3ish years ago and how my reactions have changed now). i think as i grew up i just stopped almost. caring about what other people make? like i just. filter shit out on ao3 and on tumblr and scroll past shit i don't want to see. i unfollow or block if it really becomes an issue.

but personally i just really don't like the idea of any art being given a moral value, even when it portrays topics we really don't want to think about or might feel uncomfortable with. like, my parents wouldn't let me read the hunger games until i was a certain age because the mass child death etc were just so fucking horrifying that they didn't want me exposed to it. and even reading it as an adult i'm like. okay. holy fuck. but that doesn't mean it's immoral or gross or disgusting just because it portrays fucked up things as fiction. and it definitely doesn't say anything about the author that she wrote it.

you don't have to read smut if you're not comfortable with it! you're allowed to be made uncomfortable by sex! but as long as it's properly warned for so you can avoid it, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed to exist.

"As it turns out, we don't yet understand how titans reproduce."

You awkwardly answered as Commander Erwin watched you intently. You were pointing to the documents on the table in front of you, attempting to explain what you could decipher from Hange's brilliant, yet chaotic, research notes.

"Male titans do not appear to have any external genitalia." You continued and he interjected.

"So they would not be able to-"

"Right." you cut him off.

Ordinarily speaking about normal biological processes did not bother you as you were practically a physician and you had delivered countless babies, however speaking about such an intimate topic around Commander Erwin felt taboo and uncomfortable.

The one-sided tension you felt caused your cheeks to heat as you imagined what it would be like to share an intimate moment with him. Just the two of you in his office, maybe. Over the past few weeks of working in the Commander's study you had daydreamed about how it would play out. Maybe he would reach out and gently touch your face as you stumble over your presentation on titan physiology. He might look deeply into your eyes, and lean in to gently press his lips to yours. You wondered what his lips would taste like, what they would feel like moving against yours. Would he run his strong hands through your hair, or would they travel other places? Would he carry you to his attached sleeping quarters? Or would he be so desperate to have you that he would clear off his desk and-.

You snapped out of your daydream to share a nervous chuckle as you gathered up your notes for the day.

"Hange just asks that you sign her grant request and her request for the titan serum experiment by tomorrow because she is eager to get started." you added as you packed your bag.

"Yes ma'am." He joked. "I will certainly not let you down."

You smiled and rolled your eyes playfully. You wondered how one man could be so damn charming, but this was the level of rapport you had built with him. Waving goodbye, you walked out of his office and you began walking to the dining hall to meet Sasha and tell her your daily hopeless crush update. Sasha was the only of your friends who knew anything about your obsession with the gorgeous blonde man who happened to be your commanding officer. She swore herself to secrecy and you trusted her. Sasha's heart was made of pure gold, you were convinced, especially after all the trouble she had gone to take care of you while you were in the infirmary. Hell, Sasha had been the one that Commander Erwin asked about your favorite flowers before your visit. Which means that she would have known he was visiting you. She must have been so excited.

Over the last few weeks you had spent several hours a day in the Commander's study, which felt quite privileged for a young scout. No one had questioned why you were there once they knew you were Hange's research assistant. The best part of the day had become grabbing a hot tea from the tea shop, and heading to the study to sit and marinate for a few hours over Hange's research notes. Seeing Erwin every day was the highlight of your day. Butterflies filled your abdomen every time he walked into the room and greeted you. It was like the sun itself walked in with him, he truly was a sight to see with his tall frame and confident posture. He truly was the ideal man, in your opinion. As much as you enjoyed seeing him daily, it had become almost tortuous for your feelings to grow stronger and stronger, knowing that he would never be yours. You were 22 and he was at least 8 years older than you, but that was just a guess as you truly did not know his age.

You kept yourself from thinking about the women that Commander Erwin probably is able to court. You had no idea if he even entertained advances from women in the first place, but he probably had women stepping over each other to get to him. He was quite a catch. You wondered if he had a type. They're probably a bit older than you, with a more "womanly" build than your long and athletic build, and they're probably wildly wealthy and stunning. Anytime these thoughts crept into your mind, you felt a pang of jealousy and hurt in your stomach. Not that it was any of your business anyways, he was your commanding officer and you were nothing more than one of his many soldiers. You would never be more than that to him, you thought. Confusing as your feelings were for him, there had been a few interactions between the two of you the past few weeks that made you second guess your lack of confidence in your chances.

One evening, two weeks ago, you had a late summer picnic planned with Eren. Your relationship with Eren had become more romantic, but you still could not call him your boyfriend. Eren was the type of guy that wanted a girl, but kept his options open. He still had feelings for Mikasa, and you would catch him looking at your friend Joslyn a little too long every now and again. But then again, you spent multiple hours a day daydreaming about Commander Erwin, so you were no saint either. Nevertheless, you were thinking of this picnic as a chance for you and Eren to finally express your feelings for each other, and hopefully move past your baggage so that you could focus on each other. The day of your special date, Hange handed you a stack of papers, begging you to have them presented to Commander Erwin before end of day so that he could approve them as soon as possible. In order to get ready for your date and have time to review the papers, you decided to multi-task by asking Sasha to read the papers to you while you did your makeup and fixed your hair.

"What does "ges-ta-tion" mean?" Sasha asked, sounding the word out. You explained to her while you applied rouge to your cheeks and the bridge of your nose.

"Y/N how in the world do y'all understand all this science business? It's all big words and drawings of things I don't understand." she complained. "I had no idea that birthing babies was so complicated. I really thought that it was just momma and daddy gettin' busy, and then 9 months later-."

You interrupted her with thunderous laughing. "Sasha goodness!" She began to laugh too. "It's not that simple. Many things have to go right for a person to get pregnant and have. healthy baby."

"Do you want kids someday?" She asked. An innocent question that girls ask each other all the time, but it did carry quite a bit of weight. You thought about how your mother was left stranded when your father died, and the choices she had to make to ensure you did not starve in the streets. You shuddered at the thought of that happening to you and your children someday.

"Of course I do." You answered lightheartedly. "I just need to find me a man first."

You shared a laugh as you tied a ribbon into your hair and reached for your sundress. You had picked out a gorgeous little sundress for your evening date with Eren. It was a simple, emerald green sundress that came to just below mid thigh. The sleeves were short and slightly puffed. The back was quite open and laced up a few times down to your mid back.

You turned around and Sasha squealed with excitement. "You're ready to woo that boy into wantin' to marry ya."

"First, I must give a very rushed presentation to Commander Erwin about titan blood and then run to my date before sunset."

You quickly made your way to the Commander's office, flipping through the papers in your hand when you heard a familiar voice calling out to you.

"Well doesn't my baby sister look beautiful today?" Alexei sang to you as he walked closer and pulled you in for a hug.

"I'm not sure you are aware of this but we are the same age. Born on the same day, even." You responded, sarcastically.

"Mmmm yeah but I came out first." Good argument.

"Only because I had to push your lazy ass out." You laughed. "I gotta go I have to give a presentation and then I have a date."

He eyed the dress you were wearing and squinted. "You're going to give the presentation looking like... that?" He chuckled. "Very professional, Y/N you look very official, doctor."

You shooed him off and continued on your way. You second guessed your decision to go straight from your presentation to your date, and suddenly you felt self-conscious. Would Commander Erwin not take you seriously just because you aren't wearing your usual scout uniform? No time to worry about that now as you knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Come in." You heard a rather annoyed sounding voice call out.

Great. You have to further bother this already irritated man with more of Hange's research and proposals. This sounds like tons of fun, you thought to yourself, sarcastically.

You pushed open the door hastily and turned to close it behind you. You turned around, eyes glued to the paper as you walked closer to his desk. Then came the word vomit.

"I am infinitely sorry to bother you, Commander, but Hange gave me a last minute proposal and urged me to bring it to you today before end of day so I had to rush to get it ready, but I won't stay longer than I need because you seem quite-." You looked up from your papers to push a strand of hair out of your eyes and address him properly. The way he was looking at you sent chills down your spine and suddenly you felt as though you might as well be absolutely naked. His eyes were temporally fixed on the dress that pulled in tight at your waist and gently traced the shape of your hips as it flowed to the middle of your thigh. Eyes drifted back up to your face, made up with rouge on your cheeks and your plump lips, and mascara on your thick lashes.

"Sir, if it's a bad time-." You began, stammering over your words. "I can go and tell Hange we can try tomorrow." You turned to leave.

"Y/N." you heard from behind you.

You turned to face him, wanting the ground to swallow you up. You felt so uncomfortable with the silence in the room.

"Sorry, I-." You began again.

"What's the occasion?" he asked.

"Oh, um, I have a date with Eren. No big deal."

He raised an eyebrow, a forced smirk on his face. "A date?"

You nodded, confused as to why he was asking.

"Well, you look very nice, Y/N. You took me by surprise."

You cocked your head to the side and crossed your arms. "You were surprised that I could look 'nice'?"

Is this really the hill you want to die on? Why did you even ask him. Even though the fact that he just complimented you sent chills up your spine.

"No matter." He said, brushing off your attitude. "Hange wants this done before end of day, correct?"

You nodded, showing some degree of annoyance on your face. You were annoyed that you even have to be here in the first place. You wanted to meet up with Eren before sunset, so that your picnic would not be cut short. You were looking forward to seeing him after all, and maybe make things official.

"This is excellent timing." he said, sarcasm evident. "I only have a million things to do before I can even dream of sleeping and in walks another ten page proposal I must sift through and approve." He rubbed his temples and looked up at you disapprovingly.

"This can wait." he says as he tosses the stack of papers you brought in to the side. "Hange can wait until tomorrow. You may go." Waving. hand to the door.

You felt a pang of hurt in your chest at how dismissive he was being of you. It was not lost on you that Commander Erwin was a man under immense pressure. Over the last few weeks, as you had grown closer to the man, he had confided in you about the daily burden of commanding an entire regiment, and you had sympathized with him. You hesitated to move, out of pure bewilderment that he would speak to you in such a way.

He looked back up from him papers. "Y/N, please I'm busy and I don't need an audience."

"Excuse me, Commander." You retorted with as much ice as you could infuse into your words. His eyebrows narrowed at your cold response. This was so abnormal for him to see you this way. "I would not want to be a bother, I have somewhere to be as well and this meeting is keeping me from being there." you hissed and you turned to leave. You thought that would be the very end of it until your hand reached the door handle.

"Yes, because your date is so very important." he muttered, maybe not expecting you to hear.

"When was the last time you even went on a date, Commander?" you regretted the poisonous words as soon as they left your lips. As uncommon an occurrence, you could be very cruel. You had been hurt so much in your life, you became so quick to anger. Especially when someone you admire and trust, turns on you.

He just looked at you, considering his next move. He said nothing. You opened the door to leave and you heard him call your name once more. Ignoring him, you hurried out the door, letting it slam behind you.

..............................................................................................................................

Tears ran down your cheeks as the words left Jean's lips.

"I'm sorry, Y/N." he said with his eyes pointed to the ground. "I told him it was fucked up to stand you up like this. He just said he wanted to make things work with Mikasa. They have history, you know."

Eren had canceled your date, which would not have been as much of a big deal, if you had not gotten your hopes up that this would make him your boyfriend. But you had wanted Eren to make things official. You wanted to put the Commander out of your mind, and you hoped he would do the same about Mikasa, and that he would stop being so girl-crazy. It was somehow not surprising, but you were still so hurt. You had developed some sort of feelings for the boy you occasionally hooked up with, and he did not feel the same. He made you feel so inadequate.

"Do you need anything?" Jean asked you, pulling you in for a hug. "Want me to sit with you?"

You sniffled. "No it's okay. I'm just gonna sit here for a minute and then go to sleep. I have quite a day tomorrow." You had been sitting on the stairs in the main hallway with Jean. At this time of night, barely anyone took these stairs, so you felt comfortable sitting for a while without being seen. You dreaded tomorrow, because tomorrow you would have to face Commander Erwin once again and not only would you have to present the paper that caused all of the problems in the first place, but you would also have to swallow your pride and tell him the truth of what really happened on your "date".

"Okay." Jean said standing up. "Love you, kid. See you later."

"Love you." You waved goodbye.

Once Jean left you tucked your knees into your chest and cried, hard. You never liked crying in front of your friends, but sometimes you couldn't help it. You sat crying for a minute or two when you heard footsteps approaching from behind. Not wanting to seem like you were crying you wiped your eyes and pretended like you were waiting for someone.

"Y/N?"

Fuck.

"Are you okay?" his voice as smooth as silver and warm as pure gold. In this moment, you hated that his voice caused a visceral reaction in you. But why did it have to be him walking down the hallway at this time of night? No one walked down these stairs past 7 pm. It just had to be him.

"I'm fine, thank you. I’m sure you’re too busy to worry about my silly problems." you turned your head and stifled a sniffle, wiping a tear rom your face inconspicuously.

“I dropped the rest off at Levi’s so that I would have time to review your documents. He agreed to take on some of my work if I buy his morning tea for the next two months.” He stopped next to you on the stairs and sat down. "What's the matter?" He nearly cooed and you felt his eyes land on you as he turned his head to face you.

It was time to swallow your pride, sooner than you were prepared to. You turned so that your tearful and sad eyes met his concerned gaze. His expression dropped when he noticed the tears still running down your cheeks and the bits of mascara under your bottom lashes. You mustered enough wherewithal to utter your explanation.

"Eren stood me up to be with Mikasa." you whimpered out. “I thought he liked me but it turns out I was wrong.” Tears started to flow out of your eyes at a faster rate than before and you covered your face with your hands. “I’m not good enough for anyone. Every boy that I’ve liked has treated me poorly, acted like I don’t have human feelings, or used me and threw me away.” You turned to look at him and his eyes were locked to yours. You could tell he was hurt by your pain as well. “Of course he wants Mikasa she’s so beautiful and smart. I don’t know how I ever thought I could compete with her. I’m so stupid.”

It was at this point you realized you were way over sharing but before you could attempt to retract your statements and act like this never happened, Commander Erwin interjected as he stood up and extended a hand down to you.

“Let me make you a cup of tea, it’ll make you feel better.”

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

You followed the Commander to his office close behind him, hugging yourself to self-soothe a bit. As you arrived to his office, he held the door open for you and you walked toward the plush couch in the middle of his office. He walked over the the tea kettle and poured some hot water into a teacup.

“Preference for tea, Y/N?” He asked over his shoulder.

You contemplated and offered him a weak smile. “Surprise me.”

“Chamomile to calm your nerves it is.” He said as he brought the tea over and sat the saucer and teacup on the coffee table. You thanked him for his kindness and turned your head to him as he began to speak.

“Now that we’re out of that hallway, I want to tell you what I really think.” You cocked your head to the side slightly. “Y/N you are most certainly not stupid. Not even a little bit. You’re the brightest cadet I’ve come across and you do so much for others. I admire how much you love science and how you light up when you start to explain things to me, even the little tangents you go on.”

This earned a little smile from you as you took the first sip of tea from your cup. The soothing taste and aroma of the tea filled your senses and for the first time in a few hours you felt some peace.

“When we first heard that some cadets from out of the country were on their way, many people did not trust outsiders and I won’t lie and tell you I was not skeptical. I just had never met people like you before.” He paused to chuckle. “I was deeply impressed by you all and I genuinely feel like the luckiest military leader in the world that I have the privilege of working with you three, and I cared deeply for Misha as well.”

You smiled a bit of a pained smile and said, “When Misha died, it hurt a lot of people, not just us. He was the peacekeeper. Alexei and Nikolai are such animals sometimes, Misha was so stoic, and I guess I was always in the middle.” You laughed to yourself remembering Misha’s constant rubbing of his temples and exasperated sighs as chaos was practically all he knew with you three around him. He would not have traded it for the world. “When you visited me in the hospital, I was in a low place, your words really did encourage me. I felt like there was nothing left for me and I might as well be dead too. Thank you. For everything, Commander. You make so many sacrifices for us that we don’t even see.” You began to tear up again. “I’m sorry I gave you such a hard time earlier. I know my stupid date did not matter as much as your work did and I shouldn’t have-.“

You cut your words off when you felt his strong hand reach up gently to wipe away a tear from your cheek with a thumb. He held his hand on your face and you gently rested your cheek into the warmth of his hand. You turned to look at him and said, “I talk way too much, don’t I?” He only smiled back at you and you realized just how close the two of you were sitting on the couch. You were sitting sideways on the couch with your knees tucked up beside you and he was sitting not too far away with a tucked leg on the couch, arm resting on the back of the couch.

“I should not have taken out my frustration on you. My work is manageable, don’t worry about me. But as far as your ‘talking’, I could listen to you ramble on and on for days if I could.” You didn’t break eye contact with him but your heart felt as though it would beat out of your chest at this point. You felt your shoulders and hands feel weak and shaky, and the butterflies in your stomach threatened to carry you away if you did not calm down soon.

“Even so, I’m sure you don’t have the time. I shouldn’t be keeping you from your work, you seemed so busy earlier.” You said as you placed the now finished teacup on the table.

“I always have time for you, Y/N. The best part of my day is seeing you. Such a bright and beautiful sight everyday as you greet me when I walk in. No matter what kind of horrors I’ve had to endure speaking with beaurocrats or heads of state, I always can count on beautiful Y/N being in my office, working so very hard.”

At this point you were frozen. Your mind was racing a mile a minute and you felt like you needed to check if you were dreaming or not. Was he professing his feelings for you? Your eyes threatened to water yet again at the strong emotions you were feeling.

“You are the best part of my day, Commander.” A soft cry escaped from your lips as you wiped a tear from your cheek. You reached out your hands and placed them on his knee. He covered your hands with his. “You are the best part of my day. No matter what anxiety or fear of the unknown that lingers in my mind, it all goes away when I see you. Something about you makes me feel safe. From the moment I met you, I couldn’t get you out of my mind ever since, not that I’ve wanted to.”

“I thought you were beautiful from the first time I saw you. You fascinate me, Y/N. Your accent, your smile, your laugh, and the way you treat others are all things I adore about you.” He continued on and you smiled through tears peaking out of your lashes. You felt so much adoration for him, too. From the very start, you felt something special for him. “I’ll never forget the day I visited the orphanage and saw you carrying the baby and singing to her. You took my breath away. Hearing how the children love you and how good you are with the young ones, I felt a way that I’ve never felt before. You are truly the most exquisite woman that has ever been put on this earth.”

At this point the emotions you were both feeling were almost palpable in the room. Erwin moved his hand from yours back to your cheek. And he leaned in a bit closer.

“Doing what we do, we are never guaranteed tomorrow. With that knowledge in mind, I would never live with myself if I lost the chance to tell you that I love you, Y/N.”

Your lips parted slightly as you hung on those last four words.

“I don’t care who knows or what this means for our work relationship going forward but damn it all, Y/N I am so I love with you. You’re all I think about.”

You could not help but smile ear to ear as your tears continued to flow.

“Commander, I love you.” You said soft as a whisper. “I have been for so long. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted.”

You noticed he was already leaned in closer, hanging on every word you said as he reached towards you and pulled you close.

“I love you.”

“I love you.” You responded, breathlessly.

Your arms snaked around his neck and his around your waist as you leaned in and gently pressed your lips to his.

Thank you for the tag @cherrypikkins! This was fun to put together for Nico ^_^

"I mean, it's not like people grow up actively wanting to be bandits, right? Shit happens, and then your options start shrinking. So I like to offer a hand to get people back on their feet, when I can." .

“You asked for blue gems, I bought you blue gems–” “You bought me turquoise gems” “Which were blue! Holst agreed with me that they were blue!” .

"Can we not just put this down as self inflicted idiocy? No? Fine. But you won't like the actual answer." .

"Jeralt, dearest uncle of mine, how the flying fuck did you expect me to know that all the big things that threw shit at me and Kilani had different names when you called all of them ballista?!?" .

"Yeah, no, hold that thought. I'm going to need you to explain to me what exactly it is about you nobles that makes you so much better than the rest of us." .

"You cut that crap out right now or I swear, by all who listen, I'll bury your underthings in an anthill and fill your pillow with frogspawn! Frogspawn, and, and pond scum! And seaweed!!!" .

"So... Would you rather fight one wyvern sized duck or ten duck sized wyverns?" .

"Shez, sweetheart, darling, light of my life and star who guides me home. Are you saying that you apologised for saying that my chest is, and I quote, ‘flatter than a pancake with raisins baked into it’, at some point during the week I lost to the concussion from you getting me thrown through two fucking trees by the pack of giant wolves you pissed off?!?" .

"My patience has limits and you are getting awfully close to finding them, and I assure you you will not like what you find if you do" .

"I would say you should start praying to your precious goddess, but it really won't help you at this point." .

"Have you ever thought about how anything a healer can fix with magic they could also cause? If they can strengthen a bone, they can also weaken it. Calm a stomach, or upset it. Stop or start headaches. Numb your senses to the pain or make the air itself feel like fire. Of course, most healers wouldn't dream of doing any of that... but I'm not most healers, now am I?" .

"What flowers would I need to put in a bouquet to tell someone to go fuck themself with a pinecone?" .

"Are you asking me to come work for you because you want me around because I'm me, or because you want to keep the stupidly powerful mage who knows your secrets within your reach and control?" .

"Thank you, for. For everything. I'm glad I got to meet you" .

So today I learned that when I miss shift+enter to make a line and instead get ctrl+enter it posts the post before I'm finished. Or maybe it just doesn't like me pressing it while in list mode. Who knows?

But I'm no pressure tagging @wherefore-whinnies, @nerdnag, and @wild-moss-art to talk about their oc's if they want to? And anyone else who sees this and wants to do this for their own oc's!

Silver and Espio for the ask meme? :>

hehehe my favs hehee🤤🤤🤤

SILVER:

I think most ppl don't know, but I used to really dislike Silver when I was first introduced to this character online. Not a game, no no, but YouTube AMV vids of this dude with cutesy shippy art of Silvaze. His portrayal was so degraded to me (I was 11 at that time?) that I believed he was a self-insert character for some popular artists to ship themselves with Blaze, in the girl-boss dynamic. Ofc, I looked for more info online and realised Silver was an actual character.

At that time I was playing Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and only unlocked Shadow/Rouge/Cream. After knowing what characters were avaliable, I tried my best to unlock the rest, including Silver. I also did not like his voice in English at that time, so much that I decided to switch the voice-overs to Japanese. And I also did not like it 😂 Not because it was grading! But more like, I was shocked by the drastic difference between the two. Kid me had to decide which portrayal I prefer more (ofc not aware of narrative difference of the scripts, I just chose based on my preference) and ended up with Japanese bc I vibe with the calm seriousness in the voice more. Eventually I did get used to both voices after more exposure of this character, watching playthrough videos online.

Talking about watching 06, I was not expecting him to be so different from my first impression of this "whiny/incapable/loser" kid. Silver actually was serious about fighting for his future, like a dedicated soldier. Blaze was *not* the girl-boss, she was on equal grounds with Silver. (Really... I was like 11/12, now that I think about it, how come ppl's comprehension skills so drastically apart that we can get totally different character interpretations?) I started to find charming traits on Silver, and that was when I started looking up for this character's info more & more.

And then I discovered the Rivals series. I watched the whole thing, 1&2, and this Espio character... Wait they're kinda nice tgt. (it was year 2012?? AAAAA I can't believe I'm still insane about Espilver/Silvespio, they're my sons now at this point 😭✨) I remember using Skype and talked about the ✨chemistry✨ between Silver & Espio, and my friend said I was tripping 😭

Anyway here's Espio:

At that time I didn't have that much knowledge on Espio, I just thought their Eng voice in Heroes sounded like he's dying in a few years with how gruff & grandpa it sounded LOL. Mostly I only draw him with Silver bc I realised no one shipped these two back then. (there was ppl but there was no tags for them) So I felt like, no, impossible. I need to COOK for them! So I started shipping them like FedEx with my limited skills 🥴

My Espio appriciation was mainly started by shipping him with Silver. As I reflect on why I enjoy this ship so much, I dug up traits that I like about Espio. He was helpful, supportive, and overall has a rather peaceful way of communicating with others (aka SILVER hhh). Compared to other characters, especially in Rivals, he was really chill and kept his head clear, and unconditionally aided Silver simply bc he knew he was helping someone with a good cause. Such admirable traits that I'd say are pretty rare even irl.

Still, Espio did not have that much screen time. His portrayal in my mind I do admit was half canon, half fanon. Silly ninja with goofy teammates that values teamwork & is capable of aiding others, plus saint-like patience & wisdom. (Haha...really, a lot of his traits are get from Rivals 2, his ways of interacting with individuals was way more informative than games & anime shows combined 🤧)

But yeah, with time I like these 2 characters even more, started to make all kinds of headcanons that I won't be able to elaborate here. The texts are already getting too long here 😂 I've imagined them, either tgt or separately, in fluff/angst/spice/AU/wholesome/dead dove/anything really bc I just enjoy these two so much 💕

It's kinda selfish to say, but with how little Espilver there was during that time, it was almost like they got a clean slate & I was not swayed by any other ppl's interpretation of these two for a few years. And ofc by time these two surely became my favorite characters. LOL I realised in my busy years of not drawing often, Silver & Espio were the only characters I drew 😂

UGGGHHHAA I love these two sm 😭✨ thanks for asking hahah I wanna talk about them all day 🤧✨

The biting cold seeped through the cracks in the window, filling the room with icy air. You shivered as you adjusted your coat. You were determined to uncover the mystery behind the strange frost that had blanketed the city for weeks.

In your search, you met Steve. He wasn't going to let you go alone, as you didn't know exactly what you would face, so together, you continued walking through the deserted streets, where the snow crunched under your feet.

Suddenly, a blurry figure materialized in front of them. Jack Frost, with his pale skin and snow-white hair, watched them with cold, glittering eyes. “What are you doing here?" he asked in a voice that sounded like the wind howling through the trees.

You stepped forward, staring at Jack Frost.

“We want to know why you're freezing our city. What do you want? "

“Mankind has forgotten the power of winter. I want to remind them how beautiful the world can be covered in ice and snow. But people seem to have lost their appreciation for nature and have fallen into indifference. It's time for them to remember the cold that runs in their veins. "

Steve frowned. “We can't let you freeze the city and endanger its inhabitants. There are ways to appreciate winter without causing harm. "

You nodded, quickly thinking of a solution. “How about we show you that people can still appreciate the beauty of winter without having to suffer for it? We can organize events and activities," you proposed.

Jack Frost seemed to consider the proposal for a moment before nodding slowly.

However, he had given them a time limit; they had a week to comply with the proposal, so they immediately contacted those they knew who could help them. It took some work to convince Tony, but when he agreed, they got the things that would add the special touch.

From ice skating to light festivals, they had prepared everything; they could not fail because if the temperatures continued to drop, the consequences would be irreversible. At first, people were a little skeptical and didn't seem to want to participate, but as soon as word got out that it was free, they started coming. You and Steve looked at each other with satisfaction.

Jack Frost, watching from the shadows, saw how you lived up to what you had said, so he kept his word as well.
