#ryber x kullen

[gilded-moon]

I never noticed that Ryber drew the map.

Kullen most definitely has this hanging in his apartment so he can show it off to everyone.

[thevoidwell]

Kullen could fall off the Amonra and swim to the surface writing a treatise on Ryber's best qualities

“ryber had turned kullen into a reader” if this ain’t couple goals then idk what is

Rylen and Vix for the ship rating thing 🙂

Rylen was my first OTP for The Witchlands and still remains one of my favorites!  I’ve probably read Sightwitch more than any other book in the series.  I adore them!

Out of all the Witchlands ships, Vix is the one I feel the most neutral on.  Probably because Stix hasn’t gotten as much page time as the rest of the cast.  I am curious to see how things play out now that Stix is, well… you know….  👀  

[lseultdetmidenzi]

Merik: your boyfriend is insane

Ryber: yeah, but he’s hot

[youlovemeade]

I feel like we need to come up with some ship names for all the ships in the witchlands... Should we all band together and come up with some? It could make it easier to track and then bring more notes to the witchland posts

I AGREE, WE NEED UNIFORMITY.

That being said, I am the actual worst at coming up with ship names, so...

I guess the first place to start would be deciding the format? The different formats I can think of are:

Name-mashing

Witchery-mashing

Or we could steal from the Pokemon fandom and do symbolshipping

Pros and cons for each of those:

Name-mashing:

Pro: Ensures the ship name will be unique

Con: Some names do not mash well and it's HARD DSGUHSUIGHSD

Witchery-mashing:

Pro: Easier to do and usually sounds ok no matter what

Con: What about characters without witcheries???

Symbolshipping:

Pro: Usually sounds good

Con: Is it unique enough not to overlap with the pokemon fandom lol

SO LET ME THROW OUT SOME OPTIONS FOR EACH FORMAT, and then people can decide which format they like best and throw out more options for those, and then I can gather people's responses and make another post (since reblogs don't show up in searches) with what seems to be everyone's preference?

THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS BUT....again..............I am terrible at naming ships, so please, please, please add to this :)

Any Rylen and/or Vix headcanons?

Oh yes. (Sorry for the late answer. This semester is kicking my ass.)

Rylen:

1. Ryber steals Kullen’s shirts all the time. He buys extra just so she can have more.

2. Their very fair fights are disagreements over books.

3. Kullen sings sea shanties to Ryber all the time. He always chooses the sappiest, most romantic ones. Ryber loves it (and yes I’m writing a fic about this why do you ask).

4. Kullen is jealous of one being only and that is the rook. The rook takes up too much space so there isn’t enough room for Kullen to cuddle Ryber. The rook is jealous of Kullen for the same reasons. After an incident involving several vegetables and a spoon, there are now scheduled cuddle times for both of them so there are equal shares of cuddles.

5. They have many inside jokes involving books that nobody else understands. They find it funny to watch the confusion as people (Merik) try and fail to get the reference.

Vix:

1. Stix buys Vivia a baby fox for her birthday. They name it Jana and Stix trains her to mess with the annoying council members. Vivia does not stop this.

2. Their favorite date activity is pirating. They both think it’s the height of romance (they are correct).

3. Vivia makes the first move. She couldn’t help it after she saw Stix wearing her new glasses (whenever she may get them) and just kissed her. Stix never forgets to wear her glasses after that.

4. Whenever Vivia tells her about the high council members being nasty, Stix will secretly threaten them until they agree with Vivia. No one upsets her girlfriend.

5. As a paladin, Stix is good friends with the hagfishes. They help her set up her proposal to Vivia on the beach, complete with decorations looted off sunken ships (Vivia of course says yes).

The witchlands ships on a movie night

Safi x Merik - Chapter 24 of Safi, No

Aeduan x Iseult - constant agonizing over whether they’re sitting too close or glancing over at each other too much to be plausible 

Vivia x Stix - about halfway through, Stix reaches out and holds Vivia’s hand.  It’s not at a particularly scary or tense scene, she just does it.  And Vivia certainly isn’t going to let go, so they’re holding hands for the rest of the movie

Ryber x Kullen - for them, watching a movie is basically just an excuse to sit super close and cuddle for two hours.  The Rook watches the movie from Kullen’s shoulder

Safi x Caden - they don’t get to actually enjoy the movie because Caden spends the whole time relentlessly criticizing the actors 

Vivia x Vaness - they rarely have the time to watch movies together, but when they do it’s just a calming way to rewind for both of them

[little-sea-fox]

Iseult: Why are Ryber and Kullen sitting with their backs to each other?

Merik: They had a fight

Safi: Then why are they holding hands?

Merik: They get sad when they fight

[sxfik]

safi: i’m so happy, i could kiss you!

merik: neat.

[later]

merik: i can’t believe i said neat!

merik: no one even says that any more! it’s the 21st century it’s not neat to say neat! but i said it anyway bc i am a huge loser.

kullen: don’t beat yourself over it, we all get nervous sometimes.

kullen: remember when ryber kissed me?

merik: didn’t you thank her?

kullen, with his head in his hands:i thanked her

Safi, No (a Witchlands fanfiction) - Chapter One

This chapter was written by @un-empressed

Summary:            

On a rare occasion, Safi knew the answer in geography class. But when Merik Nihar spoke over her, she wasn't so happy. So her and Leopold devised a revenge plan to get back at him, and accidentally got everyone involved.

Vivia Nihar doesn't really have many friends, apart from Vaness. She's mostly focused on her studies - and what's wrong with that? But then she meets theriverstix online.

Aeduan and Iseult didn't mean to get involved in the revenge plan, but it was inevitable. But that's okay. They had each other to talk to.

--- 

Safiya fon Hasstrel didn't know what she had done to deserve such maltreatment. Not only was geography a disaster that morning, her best friend wasn't listening. Or rather, she was until she realised what Safi was talking about. Apparently she was immature for wanting the basic right of speaking. It wasn't her fault that she had an insufferable classmate, and it certainly wasn't her fault that he decided he could speak over her.

It wasn't like she enjoyed geography, but she actually knew the answer. That was a once in a million years occurrence and Merik Nihar ruined it. She didn't even know his name before he so rudely interrupted her.

She wouldn't even have bothered to ask someone - asshole from third row worked just as well for a name - but she was confronted by another classmate after geography. A very pissed off one at that. Safi knew Vaness by name, because everyone knew Vaness. They'd never talked before, though, so Safi didn't know what to expect.

She was definitely surprised when Vaness verbally attacked her. Well, it wasn't an attack, but what she said was just a pretentious way to say "Go fuck yourself" and they both knew it. Apparently Safi's huffing and whispering to her friends that she was going to kill Merik over "an idiotic thing that doesn't even matter" was making it hard for Vaness to take notes. And apparently calling her a "poor dear" was "condescending" and "rude".

Why had she never talked to Vaness before? She knew now. Caden laughed to her face after having overheard the disastrous conversation. Safi found that absolutely unnecessary. At least Zander and Lev laughed at her behind her back. Well, she didn't know for sure that they did, but she hoped that Levs's so-called reassurance of "I've hidden many bodies before, nobody ever misses the ones like him" was a joke.

"Saf, I'm sure he didn't mean to inconvenience you," Iz said, trying to be reasonable. Safi liked that about her best friend; she wasn't as reckless as Safi herself, but she was definitely easy to drag along to stupid adventures.

"You don't know him."

Iseult rolled her eyes. "Neither do you."

"Irrelevant."

Iseult sighed. She was about to say something else, probably about how it was actually relevant, but Corlant came. Safi wasn't sure what his deal was, only that someone ought to push him off that table he liked standing on to feel better than everyone else. But no, the school encouraged free speech, and Corlant claimed whatever absurd shit he said (Safi didn't bother enough to listen) had something to do with his religion.

Safi didn't know who or what he worshipped, but she personally found lunches without him causing a scene holy. Maybe she should start a religion that specifically opposed him. Or maybe she should take Lev up on that hiding a body offer.

"This is ridiculous," Iseult muttered. Safi personally would have yelled it so he could hear, but she already did and he didn't seem to care. Asshole.

Safi didn't even notice Leopold approaching their table until he sat down. And, he wasn't alone. "Girls, this is Aeduan. Aeduan, Safi and Iseult".

The name didn't sound familiar at all, but Safi had talked to the guy once. Well, it was barely a conversation. She asked for a pencil, and he spent five minutes mocking her for not bringing two. Just when she was about to tell him to fuck off, he handed her the damn pencil. Safi made a point of using it only when she lost the pencil Caden had lent her.

She never even returned the pencil. Maybe that made her an asshole, but she needed something to write with for the rest of the day, and he never even asked for it. How was she supposed to know it wasn't meant to be a gift?

Aeduan uttered out an uninterested greeting, hesitantly sitting next to Iseult. They shared commiserating looks as Safi told Leopold about her encounter with the world's biggest asshole that morning.

"Look! There he is, talking to his friends. I bet they're just as rude and inconsiderate-"

"Saf, those two literally mean the same thing," Iseult said. There was a slight difference, but Safi wasn't about to say that. Leopold was willing to hear her complaints, and she wasn't about to waste the potential this conversation had.

"And besides, you're overreacting. That's Ryber Fortiza over there, and she's pretty nice. I'm willing to bet the others are too. You took this way too personally."

Safi had talked to Ryber Fortiza once or twice, and she knew that Iseult was right. She wasn't going to say that out loud, though. Judging by the look on Iseult's face, her best friend didn't care at all. She went back to her probably dry conversation with Leopold's friend.

"Way too personally? It is personal!" Leopold said. Safi was glad that at least someone knew she wasn't overreacting.

"Thank you!"

Iseult rolled her eyes. She did it so much around the two, Safi wouldn't be surprised if her eyes fell out one day. And she had yet to hear about what Vaness said, even though Safi knew Iseult would agree with most things said.

Suddenly, she remembered something that made her groan. Leopold raised his eyebrows. "I have geography again tomorrow."

Leopold grinned. "Why the disappointment? It's your chance to get revenge."

Safi quite liked how that sounded. Even more than that she liked the fact that Iseult obviously didn't approve of the idea, if her face was to be trusted. She could've been making faces at what Aeduan was telling her, but that didn't seem likely. Leopold's friend seemed to have the same opinion. All the more reasons to do it.

Besides, Safi already had a few suggestions for the revenge plan herself.

Safi smiled, making Iseult shake her head. "What did you have in mind?" [x]

"-And she kept staring at me the whole time, whispering something to her friends. I'm telling you, that girl is insane."

The story didn't get reactions Merik Nihar was hoping for from his friends. Ryber pretended she didn't even hear him, and Cam just rolled his eyes. Merik was pretty sure Tanzi wasn't even listening. That didn't hurt him, because she was Ryber's friend. Stix was asking if 'he was done yet' after every word. That didn't hurt either, because she was like that. At least Kullen was on his side.

He smiled, and Merik didn't know what to expect from his best friend. Kullen often heard what he wanted to hear instead of what was being said. "Maybe she likes you! And, you've never talked about this girl before. Why would you even look at her if you didn't like her?"

Kullen was not on his side.

"It wasn't like that!" Merik said, trying desperately to seem like he was telling the truth. Which he was, of course. Kullen just caught him completely unaware.

Stix grinned. "Oh really?" Merik knew she didn't share Kullen's delusion. She just took every single chance to make him uncomfortable.

Cam and Ryber looked at each other across the table, seemingly not surprised at all that the conversation was taking that turn. Tanzi was too busy copying Ryber's homework to listen.

"Really! The teacher called on her and I knew the answer, so I might have possibly answered instead of her. I wanted to see her reaction but she was just glaring at me and I'm pretty sure I heard her friend say something about hiding a body." Merik realised that the story in its entirety made him look the slightest bit bad, but being perceived as rude was better than Kullen getting ideas.

"Can we blame them, though?" Stix asked. She just raised her hands in mock surrender when Ryber shot her a look. "I'm just saying."

"You did speak over her," Cam reasoned.

Ryber sighed. "That really was rude. No one likes people who do that."

Merik was willing to admit that it wasn't his best moment, but it was really not that big of a deal. Sure, his classmate might be pissed for a while, but that wasn't his problem. His only problem was Kullen, who was grinning at him from across the table.

"You could still like her. Maybe you inconvenienced her just so she would talk to you - that seems like the kind of 'I'm bad at admitting my feelings' thing you would do and call flirting if it succeeded," Kullen said, making Stix laugh.

Well, now Merik was offended. He did nothing to deserve the unjust treatment. Even Ryber was against him, and she rarely cared enough to pick a side. Merik needed to start hanging out with Tanzi; She never listened to him, which meant she couldn't mock him for every single thing like the traitors he once called friends.

Besides, Vivia insulting him 24/7 was enough. He didn't need his friends and his sister to have anything in common. He wasn't sure anyone except Kullen even knew he had a sister. Good.

Vivia preferred solitude, but Merik knew that if Ryber found out, she'd make him ask her to join them. That would likely result in either of the three catastrophes he'd rather avoid:

1. Vivia thinks he's making fun of her for eating alone and yells at him.

2. Very awkward lunches because Vivia yelled at him when he didn't tell her what time it was fast enough.

3. Vivia finds out about Kullen's theory and tells the girl.

The last one might have been a bit of a far stretch if it was anyone else. Vivia, however, wanted nothing more than to ruin her brother's life. The amount of love was mutual.

And, she was definitely the kind of person capable of figuring out someone's name and all social media usernames just from a vague description. Merik dreaded of the day Kullen and Vivia talked alone, without him there to filter his best friend. That would be a disaster. For him, that is. For Vivia, it would be a way to accomplish her mission in life.

"Ryber, control your boyfriend," Merik said.

Ryber just rolled her eyes, which Merik found rather rude. It wasn't like he was the one terrorising Kullen, it was the other way around!

"Look, it's not Ry's fault you were stupid enough to mention it to Kullen of all people," Stix said. Merik didn't know if that was supposed to be an insult to him or to Kullen.

"Mention what? I'm not in love with some girl whose name I don't even know!"

Stix sighed. "You don't have to be for Kullen to think you are. You should know that by now. He only sees what he wants to see." Cam nodded in agreement. 

"Look, are you on my side or are you not?"

"I'm not necessarily on your side, I'm just not on Merik's." Kullen nodded, as if that was a completely reasonable answer.

Merik blamed his trust issues on his friend group, which consisted of Kullen, Cam, Stix, Ryber and occasionally Tanzi. All people who tolerated him but didn't dread to tell him when he did or said something stupid. Except Stix, but Merik doubted that she actually hated him. Either way, she, too, was never going to meet Vivia if Merik was to ask. He usually wasn't when it came to his sister and what she did, but he had to hope that Vivia wouldn't want to do anything with a friend of his.

"That's ridiculous. You hate me for no reason."

"Ridiculous? That's it, you've lost your Stix privileges. It's Stacia for you from now on." Merik fought the urge to tell her that what she just said was ridiculous as well. People lost their 'Stix privileges' at least three times a day.

Ryber rolled her eyes, silently listening to the exchange. She occasionally whispered something to Tanzi, who was still doing her homework.

"Thank you very much for doing as I said and controlling your boyfriend," Merik said. He was getting fed up of everyone being against him for a simple mistake.

"You're welcome," Ryber said, turning to help Tanzi read something. Even Ryber, who was usually the responsible one, was seemingly tired of him. Merik was starting to think he had done something wrong.

Kullen probably noticed that Merik wasn't fighting back, because he sighed and said: "Look, Merik, we're only making fun of you because you don't see that what you did was wrong. Just... Try to be nicer to the geography classmate."

It seemed nice enough, and, even though Merik hated to admit it, it was good advice. But Kullen wasn't done. "And then, when you're a couple, Stix and I will pretend we're your siblings and tell her made-up, embarrassing information."

Ryber took one look at the three of them and sighed. "That might not work."

"Cousins, then."

Ryber rolled her eyes. "That still won't work. Just say you're his friends."

"But no one ever takes the friends seriously!" Stix whined.

"No one should take the two of you seriously."

"Bold of you to assume they won't make all of us do it," Cam said.

"See? Cam gets it!"

Sometimes Merik really hated his friends.

Wow this was actually amazing you captured Safi and Iseult's friendship perfectly and I'm so excited to see this Safik fake dating au along with baeseult 😍😍 (and rylen and vix of course!)

Why do I feel like this rylen wedding is going to be dramatic as hell ??

Witchlands: Modern AU!

Hey!! So @whydoyoucareaboutmyusername made these awesome aesthetics and press blurbs for a Witchlands Modern AU, and I used those (with their blessing!) as a jumping off point for what will hopefully be a multi-chapter fic of idk how many chapters. I’ll probably post one per week so I can still do drabbles throughout the week too. No promises, though, because I’m not the best with consistency and as with all the writing I do, even that which is wholly my own, I start strong and fade fast and never finish… 

You can see the awesome aesthetics/press blurbs here:

Safi x Merik

Iseult x Aeduan

Ryber x Kullen

Vivia x Stix

I quoted some of the things in the Safik and Baeseult posts in my fic below. They’re really cool so I would definitely check them all out, like them and reblog them!!
