#scion’s musings

[metallicdawn]

I made a post abt it on twt, but Everyone talks about the tunnelers, the return of the NCR, or a possible Yes-Man betrayal as the biggest threat to the courier post-game, but real ones know it’s Joshua once the legion eventually crumbles and he has unrestricted access to recruit disenfranchised ex-legionnaires HE FORMERLY TRAINED to his version of New Canaan.

He’s already been made a living martyr, and I know damn well he’ll take full advantage of that.

And one moodboard for Numen, as well. ❄️

Tws: unreality, dissociation, loss of identity.

second question actually hey do you think people Know that muse is controlled. do people know that there's Nothing going on up in there and he's just a thing being piloted/puppeted/used by the trickster. or do people think that he is actively a person who is Choosing to do all this... side note almost accidentally it/its-ed muse here and i'm really feeling Some kind of way about that actually!!!!!! lays down and dies.

GOD OKAY. HM. both of those are so fucking good. god. i mean i think the people who Know Him (wards, mark, tide, etc) know that its not him. he would never do that. and besides the wards saw him with the trickster before he was even muse so theyd know he was controlled and would probably tell their divorced dads (or. tide at least) BUT LIKE. TO EVERYONE ELSE??????? WHO KNOWS. god. i mean like. the puppet strings Are visible so i think anyone with any familiarity with the tricksters powers would recognize it. but for the people who dont know the trickster..... i think they'd just see muse as his own person unless told otherwise. fuck!

@scion-of-kings - because daddy!finno

--- It was over. Five hundred years of darkness had been swallowed at last into the sea, clearing the sky for Ariën to shine brightly upon all of Arda. If only the shadows of memory could be drowned so easily. It was a new age, and yet the lingering effects still troubled many, wounds and losses that would never fully heal. New life would spring regardless, however, and time would soothe their pain.

High King Fingon felt his peoples troubles as he saw them settle in new lands to build anew. It seemed forever and yet yesterday since they had come to Ardas shores, and he had survived in defiance of death which had taken most of his family. But he felt blessed, watching children born without a single grief to haunt them. He wished he could have given his own son this new age to have been born in, though he was no less grateful for Ereinion at all. Without him, without the desire to ensure his son did not grow up without a father as so many did, Fingon was not sure he would have survived.

Ereinion was his hope, a part of the cumulative of Nolofinwë's legacy. Turgons peredhel grandchildren were missing, taken by his cousins, and had yet to been found again. Ereinion therefore was all that was left of their house.

And currently nowhere to be found.

As the eldest of his family, Fingon was used to hunting down wild elf youths. Oh Turgon usually had been visible, but between Aredhel and Argon... Fingon had learned all the ways young elves could disappear and had narrowed down the most likely places his son had to be. He could also credit his errant siblings with teaching him it was easier to lure with honey rather than vinegar. Thus he stood in a place he highly suspected was hiding his son and left the guards at the door.

"Ereinion," he called out to the space. "I know you're here somewhere. I have finished my work for the day, and found myself with a free afternoon. I thought we might spend it in the activity of your choice if you are so inclined."

He waited, looking around casually for the beloved head of dark hair to appear from somwhere.

All and every Scion deserves their own badass motorcycle, including both former and departed ones and Ryne and Gaia. Because I said so.

That’s it. That’s the post.

@hydae liked for a Scion!Cassius starter!

"Coerthas wasn't always this cold." Cassius comments, accent wavering slightly at the name of the region. He's too unsettled, after everything that's happened, after the way they've had to flee, to really notice.

He really shouldn't have grown so comfortable with the Scions, he knows it. And yet... He forces himself past the deep grief of betrayal. Oh the irony.

"So if you're going outside," he adds, however, "you might need to bundle up even more."

// One day, I'll write out just how important the Scions are to Dark / my WoL. How he literally went from having absolutely nothing to everything and more because of them. They are forever his found family and the most important people in his entire life ( minus his eternally bonded husband Link, obviously ).

He's closer to some compared to others ( Estinien, Urianger, G-raha Tia, and Alphinaud ), but there's no question that the Scions would do anything and everything for him and vice versa, without hesitation. They are his support, just as he is theirs, both on the battlefield but especially off of it. They all go through too much shit together and individually not to be there properly for one another, and should anyone ever question it, my Scion muses would like to have a word or two.

Got wildly sucked down the Fallout pipeline in a matter of weeks and the Legion pipeline even quicker.

Sorry, all these freaks are inherently interesting and I love to shake them all around in my little sandbox even if their canon writing makes me tear my hair out sometimes

[akirakirxaa]

The fun part of having your favorite characters be already dead people is that it's really hard to get excited for what comes next because it won't have Them. :')

OST: Danger Danger!

WARNING! WARNING! ALL AGENTS BE ADVISED!! THIS MUSE IS CONFIRMED TO BE A HIGH-RANKING SCION OF THE SCIONS OF SALEM! PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION!!!

Opening File: Warflame.

"Welcome to Vale News Network with Lisa Lavender and her Cohost Fossil Greystone!" The announcer said with the camera focusing on Lisa and sitting across from her is Hideyoshi Phalanx.

"Hello once again fellow viewers! I am here with none other than Hideyoshi Phalanx the Third Strongest S-Rank Hunter in this new day and age. Thank you for coming onto the show today Mr. Phalanx."

"Thanks glad to be here Miss Lavender and please call me Hideyoshi." He said with both of them chuckling a bit.

"So Hideyoshi, I have heard that you were once the weakest man ever, do you want to tell us about that? " Lisa would say as it the view changed from inside the VNN studio into to a TV screen.. with a man standing there and watching it....

"Well I have to blame my father for that. He was the only man who was so abusive I can't even look at him in the face and call him my father." Hideyoshi answered.

"I see... and what was he like?"

"Mind my french here but for the kiddies at home watchin' I'll simply keep it PG. He was a sack of crap that got what was comin' to him." He answered with the man watching the TV tightening his fist while Lisa chuckled at his answer.

"Well! I must say I think you proved him wrong didn't you!"

"Yup I sure did!! Hahahahaahahaha!" Hideyoshi would laugh with Lisa as the man punched the T.V with an enraged growl as flames erupted from his Grimmified fist.......

"I'm gonna kill you Hideyoshi.... and remind you that women like your mother and others.... should remember their place."
