[vsnotresponding]

6, 12, 14, 15 for Karma <3

i'm roughly two eons late to answering this, but i am here.

this is from the tech oc ask btw

all answers are from the fake dating au <3

6. Write out a text exchange between them and another OC.

I chose an exchange between Karma and Sahare because I love their relationship too much

names are how they have each other added (or more like it, how Sahare has Karma on her phone and how she changed her name in Karma's)

Karma 👑: Sahare I know you are busy but can I talk to you? best sister in law ever 💙: sure!!! best sister in law ever 💙: it'll do me good to distract myself from the wedding planning best sister in law ever 💙: if I have to look at another pair of identical cloth ever again it'll be too soon Karma 👑: so Karma 👑: you see Karma 👑: Ira's birthday is coming up Karma 👑:and I was thinking about gifting her some jewelry Karma 👑: but I'm not sure if she's a jewelry type of girl best sister in law ever 💙: I've seen her wear ear piercings but nothing else best sister in law ever 💙: maybe gift her new ones? Karma 👑: no impossible Karma 👑: she never takes them out Karma 👑: she has a matching set with her siblings best sister in law ever 💙: omg that's so wholesome 🥺 best sister in law ever 💙: idk, really best sister in law ever 💙: what did you have in mind Karma 👑: I was thinking of something like this [photo attached] best sister in law ever 💙: it goes with her eyes!!!! best sister in law ever 💙: I don't even know why are you asking for my help tbh best sister in law ever 💙: just make sure it's comfortable for her to wear Karma 👑: okay Karma 👑: how do I go about that?

12. Open the notes/note-taking app on their phone. What’s there?

I'm also answering for Níniam because it amuses me how invested he is on the fake dating

karma has a bunch of links to scientific papers and random notes about the articles he's writing. also a REMMEBER TO note which he often forgets to check. he also started writing down things about Ira to get inspiration for her bday gift (because he's a big dork)

níniam has stuff about his classes and ideas for his photography account. his favorite one is where he keeps track on how the fake dating is going. he has turned it into a full ass d&d campaign

14. You’ve just stumbled across their tumblr blog! Describe it.

karma has 0 social media presence, and the one he has is due to his friends forcing him to make an account (which remains empty until his phone gets stolen and they post for him)

his tumblr blog has 0 original posts just a bunch of reblogs of mythology lore and images, as well as rock nerd stuff. níniam made him change his pfp because he looked too much like a bot (he now has a crown). níniam was also the one that made him create a blog so he could see his posts the only non housekeeping tags he adds are when he comments on níniam's photography posts

15. Describe their computer. Is it a sticker covered laptop? A high-tech gaming computer?

he has a lightweight laptop he uses for his articles and research to take to places easily. pristine clean not a single scratch. he has another laptop for leisure stuff like YouTube and discord to videocall níniam and to play chill videogames

[vsnotresponding]

I come up with aus all the fucking time, both in world and modern aus (and crossovers between stories)

because 1. I can explore new ways to make them all suffer and making me sad, and 2. my main characters deserve to meet so bad. they are best friends, your honor, they share a flat and Aira bakes for Enzo and Ira, and his mom brings them tupperware upon tupperware of homemade food. Lyric and Eak would be the ultimate bros. The Sirio Garvan Ira Chimera Combo???? The pranks they would pull off???? Arion being everyone's adopted little brother on sight even if he's 14 and wants to be left alone )but not really). Sûn and Ely bonding. MARTE AND AKIRA BITCHING AROUND (see, I get carried away with it)

as for writing them, there's a bunch of drawings of the CUAU (as I call it: crossover university AU), and an actual fucking plot somewhere in my hard drive. Same for the CV university au, and a bunch of púlsar aus, and the p:n high school au (and they have actual plots too)

I'm also working on the púlsar fake dating au, and the arranged marriage au (this one in canon). I have more pages than I'd like to admit for my THREE DIFFERENT MEMORY LOSS AUs (in canon), I've drawn one page comics for those too

in conclusion, your honor, writing fanfiction of my own shit keeps me going

I have a question for the writers of Tumblr

Would you ever consider writing fanfiction of your own work? And I don't just mean like random tidbits of characters, I mean full-on fanfic tropes like coffee-shop AUs and alternate universes.

I'd like to think I would, but I would be worried that I'd 'use up' my ideas for that particular world if that makes sense.

púlsar fake dating au ii - ready to go

tag // intro post // part 1

Right, so, dating. 

Luckily, Níniam was right and they do know each other. Not intentionally, mind you. Níniam just likes to talk about the people he loves, so they’ve both heard about each other’s lives.

Karma knows Ira would do anything for Níniam, that her work runs her ragged, that she’s sharp and prickly and doesn’t play nice to strangers. She’d rather hang out with stray cats than real people, and if she has to be around people, she’d rather argue with them than just talk. 

She scares him a bit, to be honest.

And Ira knows Karma, too. She knows of his work (Níniam has read her some of his articles in spite of her not understanding half the things argued in them), and of what he does for Níniam’s rock club. She knows he’s painfully shy, and a mess at times. And, most importantly, that he cares for Níniam like she does. In her modest opinion, that’s more than enough to categorize him as someone who’s okay to hang out with (and not be overly rude to).

So yeah, they are doing this.

After the initial shock of it all, Karma had some time to think, mind still reeling. Sure, meeting strangers (or as much of a stranger as Ira is) scares him, but she’s doing this for him (well, for Níniam). Doesn’t matter. He’s grateful, extremely so. He’s a stranger to her as much as she is to him, and he’s doing him a favor, so Karma resolves to be The Best Fake Boyfriend To Ever Walk The Earth. He has no idea how to accomplish that, he’s never dated anyone before, but he figures that talking to her without Níniam as an intermediary might be a good start.

So they text.

It’s at odd times, mostly when Ira has some minutes to spare at her job and volunteering work, but at least they do. Well, Karma tries and Ira takes pity on him, answering in kind and “please tell me you aren’t asking me questions you googled”. 

And then, one day, Karma opened their chat and just started ranting about the paper he had been writing for a week. He usually did that with Níniam, or Sahare if it was somewhat related to engineering, but the former was busy with finals, and the latter stressed with wedding prep. He apologized after he was done, two hours later, chat still unread.

It wasn’t until hours later when Ira got out of work and actually answered his messages. Like, asked questions and stuff and seemed interested, even if she didn’t fully get what his rant was about. After an afternoon of wallowing in self-pity, he almost cried at her response.

And then it all kinda just followed its own course from there. She started sending multiple photos of the stray cats that live near her work. Like, lots of photos. Daily. There’s a three-legged cat that’s in most of them, gray and all scrunched up. Ira calls him Kitty, even if the cat’s ancient, older than all their ages combined. Karma's gallery is now 93% cat photos, he's run the numbers.

He won’t complain about it.

There’s also serious texts, like, “hey what am i supposed to do exactly?” and “you mean party party or rich people party?” and “yes karma there’s a difference” and “srs all of this because two people are getting married” “and i thought the wedding and an engagement party was already too much wtf”.

Because, yeah, there’s lots of engagements Karma must go to. There’s the most casual parties, which Karma argued they didn’t actually need to go to, but Níniam made them. To sell the whole dating thing, he said. And then, well, the Actual Big Events, where they need to dress up and go to an outrageous expensive place to mingle with people Karma either doesn’t know or dislikes. And the wedding, of course, held at the beginning of June.

After that? It’s anybody’s guess, they’ll figure it out when they get there.

And then, there’s the video calls. Níniam informs them, more than suggests, what their ‘dating history’ is like. He introduced them, of course, and they just clicked. Karma didn’t tell his friends because he wasn’t sure if it was going to go anywhere, and once Ira made the first move (because let’s be honest, no one would believe Karma did), he figured out he’d wait until some party came up to introduce her. 

A reasonable story. Plausible. Karma’s not specially religious, but he prays every night his friends will believe it.

“So,” Níniam explains on a call Friday night, “we have most of it ready to go. There’s only one thing missing.” 

Karma looks at his friend through the screen. Níniam and Ira are on the sofa in their tiny living room, the ugly pink and green pillows next to them making his screen do weird things. Ira’s head is on her brother’s shoulder, her eyes closing until they open again when Níniam moves his arm to jolt her awake. She’d told him they’d had a little crisis at work today, and that she’d left work much later than what she should have. That’s why they are having a meeting at almost 1 am.

Ira yawns, and groans.

“More?”

“You guys need to, you know, actually meet in person.”

Oh right. Right. In between cat photos and nerd rants, he had forgotten. They are supposed to be dating.

Well shit, Karma hadn’t thought about that.

Ira and Níniam bicker back and forth, but Karma can’t hear a word they say. He’s never liked physical touch. Sure, he remembers cuddling with his mom when he was a kid, and he lets Níniam and Sahare hug him in greeting, but nothing past that.

The mere thought of holding her hand paralyzes him, and he can feel his neck and ears blush.

Oh gods, will they have to kiss?? He might pass out. Right now just because of thinking about it and on the spot if it happens. Oh shit.

“You are not suggesting we need to practice holding hands.”

“Actually, I am.”

Their voices bring him out of his stupor. He really hopes they can’t see how panicked he’s about the whole situation, a mute hope, by Níniam's knowing look. At least Ira isn’t even looking at the screen, just deadpan staring at her brother.

“You are kidding.”

“I don’t—I mean—I don’t think he is.” She turns to him with the same look in her face as she was looking at Níniam. “I’m not—I struggle with stuff like… that.”

A few seconds pass. Then:

“Oh you are serious.” She pinches her nose bridge. “Okay, yes. Right, shy and awkward.”

“I heard that.” He says, not very shyly but very very awkwardly. Ira smiles.

“I think I can manage to get out of work early tomorrow—”

“Tomorrow or tomorrow tomorrow?”

“I’m not having this conversation with you again, Níniam. It’s almost 2 am.” She does look miserable as he turns back to the screen. “Sunday morning works good for you?”

“Sure.”

“Then I’m fucking out. Night Karma,” she nods to him as she stands up. “Annoying little brother.” Ira messes up Níniam’s hair before leaving.

Karma waits until they can hear her bedroom door close.

“‘Tomorrow or tomorrow tomorrow?’ What’s that?” Karma whispers, even if Níniam plugged in his headphones as soon as Ira left.

“Yeah as in, she meant tomorrow as in Saturday, but it is already Saturday.”

“We still haven’t gone to bed, tho.”

“That’s her argument.” Níniam’s grin almost reaches his ears.

“It is a sound argument.” For some reason, he’s blushing again.

“Yeah, but it’s funny to annoy her as her younger brother, you know.” Now it’s Níniam who yawns. “I'd stay, but I think she stuck her sleepiness on me. Anyways, talk to you later.”

“Later as in tomorrow or tomorrow tomorrow?” His friend snorts.

“G’night Karma.”

“Night.”

He goes to sleep smiling.

púlsar fake dating au - how it all starts

this was the poll winner. idk who voted but here you go

some sketches

Níniam and Karma are chatting as they always do in the afternoon. Today’s subject: Karma's stressed because his brother’s wedding is coming up and that means a bunch of social engagements he has to go to alone and suffer through all the oh when are you going to get a girlfriend your brother did so good Sahare surely is a catch and surely soon we’ll see you getting married, won’t we, AND Garvan sending him the no bitches? meme (when he himself doesn't have bitches). Ira is off in the kitchen cooking dinner, hearing snippets of the conversation here and there, until she hears Níniam suggest he’ll go as his date.

Here’s where she pops in.

“Date to where?” Níniam fills her in on what’s happening and his totally viable plan of going as Karma’s date, his hands doing tricks with his trick pen. Ira looks at Karma, laying on what she assumes is his couch, crumpled t-shirt and askew headphones. Blushing and frozen in place. For a second she thinks the internet went down again because he really isn’t moving or breathing. Is he okay?

Meanwhile, Karma doesn’t know where to look because 1. Unexpected stranger adjacent interaction he was not prepared for, and 2. He isn’t a fan of the whole fake dating, because his family and friends have met him, they know him, there’s no way they’d fall for it. His brain is already going into error mode when Ira talks.

“I mean, go for it as long as you don’t forget to do your chores and keep up with school.” Ira is extremely amused at Níniam’s antics. He's loved playacting since he was a child, and coming up with these overly complicated scenarios of random strangers they pass on the street. “But won’t it be a little weird? You just turned nineteen, so--”

That’s Karma’s cue to cut this. He loves Níniam, he truly does. But there’s no scenario where the plan succeeds, also:

“Yeah and Garvan and Sahare know you are my friend, so they wouldn’t buy it either way.”

“Ira can do it then.”

“I can what now?”

But Níniam already has the whole script ready in his mind. Also, he loves his sister but her best friend is a cat and her human best friend is him, her little brother. She loves her to death, but he really thinks they’d get along well. They both love him, after all. It all fits perfectly.

“You can say I introduced you! And you already know stuff about each other!! This is a perfect idea. I’m a genius, you are welcome, Karma.”

Meanwhile, Karma’s brain is displaying 739 error messages.

“What’s in it for me?” Ira knows resistance is a lost battle against Níniam. And he’s so excited about the idea. But still giving in too easily is not in her nature.

“My unconditional love.” Níniam makes puppy eyes at her, he’s mastered that look since he was five. Ira’s mastered resisting to it since she was fifteen (and he was 9).

“Your unconditional love my ass.” She already has it anyways.

“Free food and messing with rich snobby people?” He knows he has her, and Ira knows he knows he does.

“I’m in.” 

It sounds fun. She’ll get a kick out of it, probably too. And it makes Níniam happy, which, what else can she ask for?

Meanwhile, Karma listens in horror as Níniam plans The Greatest Deception The World Has Ever Seen, sneaking glances at Ira who just seems chill at the whole idea??? How. He’s barely processing what happened in the last 5 minutes of his life.

Yeah, he’s so fucked. He can’t win this.

Oh well.

[vsnotresponding]

I mean, how could I not?

"fake dating au goes brbrbrbrb"

ask's about this tag game

how could you not indeed, púlsar fake dating au my beloved <3

I've posted two parts already (plus an introduction to it) in here:

part 0: whomst part 1: how it all started part 2: ready to go

basically i brought my two Very Ace main characters from a fantasy story into a fake dating au romcom for the funz, as you do. thinking about this au makes me very happy because look at them! being happy! no angst just vibes! no thoughts head empty just brbrbrbrbrbr

i have two documents for it, the one where i just word vomit Thoughts, and the one where I make it all readable

here's what the unedited text looks like sometimes (it's me talking to myself half the time and butchering the english language the other half):

og verbal diarrhea

social engagements get him out of there please he hates it

karma needs a date because now that Son Of Rich And Important Man Is Taken he has become the next victim

both ira and karma are very ace btw <- me telling this to myself like i don't already know lmao

oh yeah karma's father is responsible for The Thing That Happened

brunch with mom aka ira gets adopted

(she does see him trying with karma and being wholesome with sahare so okay maybe he does deserve rights i guess still not a fan 7-7 hisses at you) (sher can't believe karma has had a full conversation while holding someone's hand like it's nothing HELLO????)

oh shit who's this bitch arguing ira kicks him out u know <- what even is this sentence

hopefully i'll get my shit together and post part 3 soon (which means definitely this year)

lil teaser:

[their first ever date and irl meeting. they were talking but karma got distracted by someone on the other side of the square they are standing in]

“Who’s that?” 

She’s pretty, sitting on a bench with a thermo next to her and a big thick white binder opened on her knees. Raí would say she’s wearing fashionable clothes, but Ira only notices her long hair and how much effort would be necessary to take care of it.

“Sahare," Karma says automatically. His panicked look a second after tells Ira everything she’d already got from the name. Oh, so the future sister in law. Well, at least Sher has good taste.

“Let’s go and say hi.”

“Wait—”

But she’s already gone, and Karma has no option but to trail behind her, quickly going over all they agreed upon about their non-existent relationship. Not that they have an actual relationship. Or do they? He doesn't think exchanging silly texts would count, but what would he know anyways. Although, he thinks as Sahare notices them, she might be interested in hearing about the thousands of cat pics he has on his phone now.

hi @my-cursed-prince you also asked about the fake dating au <3

[vsnotresponding]

You invited me to your inbox, and I took that bait so easily.

Bestie tell me more about Cor Vitae. Excerpts please.

ALSO—ARRANGED MARRIAGE AU?????

I’m sorry, I’m very normal. But I want details.

And of course fake dating AU <333333

glad you took the bait bestie <3

ask's about this tag game

this got very long, obviously. (very very long)

(i already answered an ask about the fake dating au so i won't also here. there's a lil teaser for what's coming next in there)

oh god cor vitae. bestie get ready for the lore drop. I've talked some about it in here , here and here, and now i'll treat you with a full on rant about it

so, let's talk world, let's talk characters and let's talk plot

the world is infested by monsters and unnatural creatures, all made by a long ago banished goddess called Ehud. they live beyond a high and dangerous mountain range in the continent, where most were banished, but some remain in the sea, and even on land.

society is ruled by La Corte and its Wise Council of mages. mages in cv control la vida. technically everyone can do that, but you need to have been trained to actually do stuff with it. therefore, only those that have studied at la Corte can. (the first to be taught about it were the mages that found la Corte around the time Ehud was banished, thanks to the two remaining goddesses). La Corte's in an island not far off the continent, which you can only access with magic (because otherwise the monsters on the sea will kill you).

there's also those called obscured or touched, who are said to be under ehud's influence (because of course she wants to come back). most people fear them, but there's a cult that venerates them (they want ehud to come back). there's also another cult who wants to overthrow la corte. and, of course, the main religion of the other two moons.

that's as far as general worldbuilding goes. so now, characters:

Aira, obscured.

abandoned along her little brother sûn because they were both touched

first raised by a forest spirit and her cubs, then by a human woodcarver after her brother got murdered

along the way she met a what's considered a demigod, but it's only a glorified catlike creature

his name's yasir and he loves shiny things

a hunter and also woodcarver

dislikes you

Eak, mage.

both him and his younger brother were orphans taken in by the no fe (the cult that wants to overthrow la corte)

once their high affinity for magic was discovered it was tried to purge out of them

they eventually escaped and found themselves students of la corte.

likes to sketch and is too curious for his own good

will befriend you

there's also:

Médiel, who's totally not part of the no fe and totally not trying to infiltrate on la corte

Sûn, who's totally super dead and not trying to help his sister

Arus, who lost his memory and is totally not babysitting this bunch of 20 something year olds

Lug, token younger brother totally not getting manipulated by Médiel

and a bunch of monsters too <3

as for plot:

Aira wants to get to la corte's library to find out what it was that killed Sûn, so she sneaks into Arus' cargo ship, where Eak and Lug and Médiel are.

Eak finds this very sus girl on his ship who very clearly knows how to use la vida, accompanied by a literal demigod, and is immediately on board with whatever she's doing

Médiel wants to bring down la corte and now also kill Aira because these men ???? can't they very clearly see that this girl is obscured obscured. we gotta stop Evil Goddess from coming back

Lug just wanted to flirt and now he has to stop a goddess from coming back because his dumbass of an older brother just *has to* get involved

Arus is very tired and deserves a nap

as for excerpts, here's some original stuff in Spanish (and a rough translation) while I try not to cringe at 13 year old me writing style

context: literaly how the draft starts, with sûn dying <3

Fue rápido, la verdad. Cuando el monsturo le mordió se hizo a la idea de morir. No parecía tan malo, al fin y al cabo. Ser él era complicado, muchos hilos que mover. Oh, y los monstruos, eso era lo peor. Más que los monstruos, el proteger a su hermana mayor de ellos.

It was fast, to be honest. When the monster bit him, he'd accepted the fact that he was going to die. It didn't seem that bad, at first. Being him was difficult—too many treads to move. Oh, and the monsters. That was definitelly the worst. More than the monsters, having to keep her older sister away from them.

context: a sea creature attacked the ship. aira got knocked out and woke up on top of said sea creature with eak. also they are underwater and aira has no idea how eak got there

—¿Cómo? —Salté. —¿Cómo que “saltaste”?

"How...?" "I jumped" "What do you mean you 'jumped'?"

context: another beast is attacking the ship.

De nuevo la bestia gritó sobre sus cabezas, a apenas unos metros sobre el barco. Aira la reconoció como una de las bestias más terribles: una donira negra, el animal que había dado nombre a su moneda. Su pelaje blanco como la nieve y ojos negros que le daban nombre los observaban—la observaban. Un pesado silencio cayó sobre el barco. Las olas no se oían, ni siquiera el crujir de los tablones, mientras la donira aguardaba en silencio sobre sus cabezas.

The beast roared again above their heads, barely a few meters over the ship. Aira recognized it as one of the most terrible ones: a dark donira, the animal that gave name to their coins. Its white as snow coat and deep black eyes that gave it its name, watching them—watching her. A heavy silence fell on the ship. The waves silent, not even the crack of the wood under them, as the donira waited in silence up above.

i almost died 4 times looking at the SIX YEAR OLD DRAFT from july 2017. this is all i have the courage to show you. i'm gonna need therapy to recover from this. i will go into hiding after posting this. you will not hear from me ever again.

i really want to talk about something else but this got super long already. but yeah.

ARRANGED MARRIAGE AU????? I’m sorry, I’m very normal. But I want details.

I KNOW RIGHT???? my brain. so big sometimes. i'll leave you with some random facts and fun facts and ups facts. hopefully i'll post more about it properly soon, lol

ira win! her family's mostly safe and not sick!

ira loss! she still gets captured. and this time is targeted

karma win! his mom's alive!

karma loss! the shahin is x10000 times worse than in canon :)

island win! no sickness yei!

island loss! there's a full on rebellion going on

funnily enough the arranged marriage is the last thing that worries ira and karma

áine's an undercover rebel

sher's too

he's also poisoning the king (and himself)

ira keeps getting blood on the shahin's face and telling him "you've got something there" like girlie you are getting beat up maybe this is not the time

ira being the worst until someone else is threatened then she decides to behave (multiple times)

ira reverse uno carding the king and using the queen as a bargaining point

ira being too sassy for her own good

karma being team ira because she's the first person he's met that's not afraid of the king (or more like it, the first one to not let her fear stop her) (seriously the things she says before while and after she's taken a beating. to the shahin's face. insane. unhinged. good for her. she deserves it)

ngl the only downside to this au is that there's no sahare

there's some raí tho! my boy! (he shows up in canon briefly and i love him)

also they are slightly older than in canon (like two or three years)

[vsnotresponding]

watching a scary movie <3 ft. karma would like to leave, ira being scared but also wanting to see what's going on, and níniam enjoying himself "guys why aren't you watching? this is the best part"

happy ace week :]

these are ira and karma, the main characters of my wip Púlsar, a story of a dying island and the desperate search for a cure to the illness that's killing her (you can read more about it here, and I'm currently in the process of posting it :])

I should add that their aceness is not central to the plot in Púlsar, but I do plan on discussing it in the modern fake dating au (you can find it here)

[vsnotresponding]

potato quality photos of awkward karma in the púlsar fake dating au also requested by @my-cursed-prince

don't be fooled karma has nice clothes because his mom bought them for him. also ira's shirt is karma's

also i forgor karma's glasses shhhh let us say it's because they got too ruined in the rain

1 for Ely! And anyone else you wanna talk about!

Also 14 I know you have aroace characters, but tell me more about how they perceive their aroaceness since it’s such a wide spectrum. Any character of your choosing for this one :)

questions from this pride ask game

hi lyn!!

1. What's your oc's gender identity? What's their relationship to their gender?

Ely uses they/them pronouns, but doesn't mind being addressed by male terms (they are called Death prince, for example) (in a modern au they'd use the non binary label). Their relationship with their gender is very tricky, and is part of the plot.

Since forever they've known they aren't a girl, or a boy, and were most content when addressed with gender-neutral terms like kid or child. being perceived as female made them extremely uncomfortable, which made them avoid contact with everyone if they could. in their head, they were always just Ely (i've made a note to only address them as such until they get to the point where they master Sorrow and truly become a *them*).

thing is, after they die, they both resent and try to forget the person they were. they hate that teen. they killed her. she can't be mourned because she was never there. but that's just not true (it's also the reason there's a plot lol). she might not be them, but she's a part of who they are.

everything's very gender with them, and mostly based on my own gender fuckery :]

14. Do you have ocs on the aro or ace spectrum?

oh boi do I:

ngl, i have a feeling all my pov and mc characters will have touches of the spectrum as i write them, , because i'm aroace and i *struggle* with writing these things.

there's tho, the Canon Ace/Aro ocs my beloveds

I Will Go In Depth About All Of Them. Because I Can

Púlsar:

Karma: demiace. very bad with touching other people in any way unless he really really trusts them (there's a bit of his autism in here too). struggles with aesthetic attraction (he really doesn't notice poor man). would like to be cuddled tho. is also very clueless about his identity. he knows he hasn't liked anyone like, ever, and it takes him literal years to realize he likes ira. so. again, poor man. i love him

Níniam: very ace. again, doesn't think much about these things so he's not very aware either (talking about an older Níniam btw)

Hamza: greyace, has only been attracted to The One Dude ever. again, very chill with it.

Bean: ace, but with a powerful aesthetic attraction. women pretty. (again talking about older Bean)

Ira: ace. is able to recognize when someone is aesthetically pretty but it doesn't do much for her. she's a very touchy person, but i don't think she'd be sex favorable. leaning towards neutral-negative, ngl.

she has a complicated relationship with love. she either hates you, dislikes you (most people), tolerates you, tolerates you but will call you friend because social conventions, or loves you. that's the only distinction she makes. she's aware she loves people in different ways, but they are unique for every person she does, so there's not like, a clear difference she can explain. i don't use the aro label for her, and i don't think she would either.

UP:

Hannah: aroace. incidentally, her colors are purple and green. yeah, she finds the people that approach her annoying and has no interest in romantic or sexual relationships. they are at peace with it, ngl. also she has enough with the messes lyric gets into and with patting akira on the back when lyric keeps not realizing his best friend is in love with him (she's very tired of the allos).

CV:

Médiel: aro. as a teen she realized she was never going to fall in love, and her immediate reaction was that it was another gadget in her arsenal to infiltrate la Corte. fake dating but the other party doesn't know it's fake. as for her sexuality, i'd say if you are hot she'd fuck you.

TFB:

Arion: aroace. also 7 years old in canon. but yeah, as a grown up he'd be that. he's also very autistic (i think his sexual identity is very tied to that, unlike with karma where i think it isn't as much).

Chimera: aro. no idea what his sexuality is ngl. he's just vibing, man, bringing his little brother into adventures with folk people in the forest.

Hi radio

It's storyday! Have you written any AUs of your wips? If so, tell me about them, if not, would you? What would they look like?

I HAVE SO MANY AUS

most of them I've drawn instead of written but for one tho

in world i think i only have Púlsar AUs because i refuse to give them a break. here's a handy list

karma memory loss au (post canon)

ira memory loss au (post canon)

arranged marriage au (around canon but the political climate has been different for years aka there's a civil war ongoing) in which karma and ira are forced into an arranged marriage to negotiate peace, ira is a menace and sher is posioning himself and the king

no king au (pre canon ~9 years) in which something happens to the king probably murder and the queen starts fixing shit up starting with getting the creators and giving them a home and everyone is happy

then I also have a púlsar mermaid au because i think ira would look sick as a mermaid (karma falls from his ship and ira rescues him), and a medieval (but with dragons) cor vitae au (because i wanted to draw eak as a knight trying to impress aira once and so now this exists) (this is the reason for many aus)

and then i have a bunch of modern aus :]

I have a main crossover one where basically most ocs are in college/trade schools and are friends (or friendly enemies)

then there's the one universe modern aus

p:n high school au. because the teens deserve to be normal teens

p:n band au. this only exists in like 3 drawings and just because ceres looks hot playing the electric guitar

cv university/coffeeshop au. they are in college and aira works in a coffee shop and it's very cute

púlsar fake dating au. ira and karma date for his brother's wedding. also they are both ace so it's very funny (I've posted about it before here)

púlsar modern royalty au. karma escapes from the palace and is bad at disguising himself so ira recognises him and shows him around cool places

púlsar bodyguard au. ira is hired as karma's bodyguard but mostly spends her time playing videogames with him (and then is killed protecting him)

I've talked about most of these before in passing too but I don't think I properly tagged them (? unsure about it

thanks for the ask sleepy !!!!!!
