#sebastian sallow rant

[ravenelyx]

Sebastian is the type to get random bursts of affection.

At the beginning of your relationship, he would suppress them, he'd be more reserved, scared to be too annoying, too clingy, too inadequate, too much. But eventually, he would relax — he would feel more at ease and gradually act on them more and more.

And one of his favourite activities is snuggling.

You could be sitting on the sofa, and he'd sit down too, and guide you between his legs, wrapping his arms around you from behind, and he would nuzzle your hair, your neck, your cheeks, eyes closed in bliss, and place very lazy kisses everywhere his lips can reach. Nuzzle, kiss, nuzzle, kiss, over and over again.

Or he would gently push you to lay down, and rest his head on your chest, face hidden in the crook of your neck so he can breathe in your perfume, lips brushing slightly on your skin, and he'd hug you like you're a giant pillow, and cuddle with you until he feels like he has fallen all over again. Because what's important to Sebastian is to feel you close, no matter how, no matter what.

“She’s tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me”😤😤😤

(Regency AU with Eloise and Sebastian inspired by my slow trek through Bridgerton these days & @bassicallymaestra ‘s AMAZING regency inspired art😮‍💨😇🙏)

[dittanyinbloom]

MC: Sebastian! Please stop with this dark arts nonsense. You’re scaring the baby!

Sebastian: What? You’re with child?

Ominis, appearing out of the darkness unannounced: I’m the baby you absolute twat.

The absurd urge to write a Bridgerton AU series for the HL characters…

[a-usernamelol]

YALL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!!!! MORE SCREENSHOTS FOR EVERYBODY!

Once again bringing up that I’m tired of seeing posts strictly for the female fans of the game. So here he is in all his glory, the absolute (bisexual??) icon of the franchise! Doesn’t matter if you’re a girl or a guy- or in my MCs case- something else, chances are he’s going to try his hand!

HAVE SOME FREE SEBASTIAN BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE❤️ PEACE AND LOVE ON PLANET EARTH

i think the reason i love hogwarts legacy so much is because spring awakening is my favourite music. they’re set in the same time period, almost the exact same year! (spring is 1891, hl is 1890), they have very similar themes regarding authority and the struggles of the youth, especially in regards to forbidden information (the idea that hiding information will not stop a child, it will just make them behave recklessly). even sebastian and ominis so closely resemble melchior and moritz that i can’t even fathom it being unintentional! (the studious rebellious boy who gets into more trouble that what it’s worth because of a societal idealisation of hiding information, and his closest friend who is going through complete and utter turmoil at not holding up his family values, and his own morals being twisted at the hands of his friend)

it’s such a perfect comparison

[batmans-archnemesis]

i’m sorry but i have such an issue with people finding hogwarts legacy characters (especially sebastian/ominis) attractive because that is literally a minor!! like the things i see posted about them are so vile. “erm i aged them up to 18🤓☝️” SHUT UP! it does not matter because you are still basing your disgusting fantasies off of minors in a game. as someone who is the same age as the students in-game, i guess it bothers me more. but it doesn’t change the fact that these people with numbers ranging from 20-35 in their bios to signify their age, are making 18+ fanart of minors.

[boxdstars]

I think this is a problem in a lot of fandoms but man I hate being sidelined as a wlw. The way the tags for the female npcs are flooded with unrelated Sebastian/Ominis/Garreth content is so frustrating because the content for the girls already feels so far and few between. I do really enjoy our favorite boys but it’s just a constant reminder that I’m the outlier here!

It’s no one’s fault, it’s very typical of fandom, I just wish our girls weren’t so pushed off to the side. Resorted to side character or throwaway line. Natsai especially. Maybe not so much on tumblr but there’s a lot of racism directed towards her in many other places and it’s abhorrent. It’s wild that she’s a main character and yet there’s no content for her?

Anyways queer HL stans thank you for your service. Headcanon authors who write for the girls, I am forever in your debt. LGBTQ+ HL enjoyers please interact so I can follow you :)

It’s pride month y’all can’t be doing me like this

Yet Another Drawing Rant

Edit: I will look back at the advice on my previous posts but alas, I still deal with inner negativity and this is how I try to deal with it.

Learning how to draw for me is incredibly difficult. It always is for beginners, but even more so for me because I have social anxiety and have dealt with an extremely harsh inner critic since I was a child. I didn't have that many friends growing up and despite absolutely loving anime and manga to the point of constantly rereading the manga I owned, I just couldn't get into drawing. Every time I tried I would feel such a deep sense of shame and embarrassment for what I drew that it made me not want to draw. And I mean DEEP. And it still affects me to this day.

I have wasted so much of my life because I have always listened to that inner critic. I wasted so much time that I could have spent drawing and if I had drawn as a kid, I would have been at the point I want to be at now. But nope, I wasted my life and now I have to take the amount of time it would have taken me then to learn now. I try not to think about it but it's hard when I genuinely had SO MUCH TIME to learn how to draw back when all it would have taken was for me to love a series or character to draw.

I don't want it to take 5+ years to get good. I don't want to be shit. I could have been good by now and that's what hurts. If I had continued drawing as a child I would have been able to draw the Hogwarts Legacy fanart I want to draw. I would have been able to draw my MCs with Sebastian, Ominis, Professor Sharp, and Rookwood. I would have been able to join in when everyone posted art of their MCs and I would have been able to fully enjoy looking at their art and fawn over and talk to one of my favorite HL artists.

Apparently the vtuber Mori Calliope said something along the lines of "If you quit when you are shit, you will stay shit". It is something so obvious and I understand it, and yet I can't help but feel like shit when I look at my drawing level. There are kids now that draw like professionals and they are still kids. I'm 26 and I have skills that are less than theirs. I find myself constantly asking how I can get from not being able to draw things like faces, hands, eyes, etc. to being able to draw them decently. The answer is by practicing. I know that but it's hard when I hate myself and my level so much. I just need something that makes me happy about drawing itself--something that makes me keep coming back and wanting to learn. But I don't know what that would be. I want to practice for hours a day--I even planned for that originally, but I still lack that one thing that keeps me coming back to draw everyday without thought.

Sebastian Sallow is the type of boyfriend who would randomly kiss your neck, not in a sexual kind of way, but in a "I'm going to make this so disgustingly wet and so unbearably ticklish that you're going to hate me, but I love hearing you giggle" kind of way

somewhere in the shadows | chapter one

Some initial A/N: Hello my near and dear friends! Welp, here it is — my new spark of creativity. I’ve been playing Hogwarts Legacy and there was just a sudden urge to write a fanfic, ya know, so here I am. I have more detailed and important author’s notes at the end, but I just wanted to paste a little blurb here. Anyways, please enjoy this short and sweet introductory chapter! (And once again please make sure you read my other notes at the end!)

***

Eleanor Laverne learned first hand that pleasant morning that there were, indeed, 142 stairwells in Hogwarts castle. Even though she woke up at the crack of dawn to brew some tea and prepare herself in her overwhelmingly blue common room, she felt like a first year frantically dashing through all the hallways and corridors and stairwells in the maze that was her new school.

Wonderful — her first day, and she’d show up to class after it already finished with her legs feeling like pudding.

To be fair, it was technically her first year here — she was just starting on the fifth year curriculum. Still, she was sure that someone of her 16-year-old stature looked quite appalling racing through the halls in comparison to that of a puny first year. Well…on the bright side, at least she could out run them and their short, stubby legs.

She glanced around, positively sure she passed the same portrait of a lady in an impossibly puffy pink dress who was, at this point, snickering at her valiant efforts of getting spectacularly lost. The watch on her wrist read 8:13, her first class began at 8:15, and at this point, she might as well have admitted her defeat on getting to class on time. After all, she had absolutely no clue where in the castle she was. She could have been on the opposite side of the school for all she knew.

She must’ve been rushing forward with her head on a swivel for a moment too long because she abruptly met something before her with a thunk. In doing so, all of the books that were, moments ago, held safely in her grip, splattered gracefully over the stone floor.

Splendid. 

She was already late — she didn’t need obstacles, either.

But the obstacle turned out to be another person as she heard a surprised, “oof!” and the sound of footsteps plummeting forward.

She shook the dizziness from her head and steadied herself, only to find a brunette boy peering over at her with a wince. “What was that for?” he asked, and she wanted to laugh as if her sprinting spree was intentional.

“Sorry,” she grumbled, bending over to reach for the book closest to her. 

8:14. Bloody hell. On her first day.

“Wait,” the boy began slowly as she heard the click of his shoes against the floor nearing her. “You’re the new fifth year, aren’t you?”

His statement beckoned her gaze, and she soon found herself gaping at this obstacle-turned-boy who happened to be a Slytherin student with quite possibly the sweetest face she’d ever seen. She didn’t believe in stereotypes but…for a Slytherin…he looked too…nice.

He reached out to hand her a few books he managed to pick up before someone called, “Seb! Come here! Defence Against the Dark Arts is about to start!”

She didn’t think her eyes could get any wider.

Defence Against the Dark Arts! That was the class she was looking for! Meaning…this lovely-looking Slytherin student that so happily picked up books for her after she nearly knocked him flat on his nose…was her classmate. What a truly memorable first impression — on her hands and knees picking up books and papers because she couldn’t simply watch where she was going.

“I suppose this is your class, too,” he said, offering her a hand to get up. She took it without any thought and stilled at the difference between his warm touch and the cold marble floor.

“It is.” She quickly released his hand and brushed off her robes.

He chuckled, and she noticed a sprinkle of freckles over his cheeks as he smiled. “Got a tad lost, did you?” 

“Perhaps,” she huffed, “let’s go.”

His bright smile was disarming. “After you.”

Never, in her whole life, would she ever expect to feel glad for nearly running someone over. But here she was, her heart racing at a surprising speed perhaps by her brisk morning jog or by downright embarrassing herself in front of her new charmingly freckled classmate, letting out a satisfied sigh as she found her very first victory this morning.

She checked her watch. 

8:15. Brilliant.

She was on time.

A/N: Alright folks, strap in because you’re in for a ride. I’m just kidding, but there are quite a few creative liberties that I have chosen to take, one of which is age. I have chosen to have Sebastian and Anne get held back a year before starting Hogwarts due to their parent’s death, while also raising the default age by 1 — so first years would enter around 12, and 7th years would be 18-19 by the time they graduate. (To be honest, having a 15 year old take something as life altering as the O.W.L.S seems crazy to me). Also, the way Hogwarts Legacy modeled their characters makes it seem like they’re at least 17-18, so, you know, with my unbridled creative liberty, I did just that. 

This makes Seb 17 at the beginning of the year, while most of the other students are 16. I don’t know their actual birthdays, but I imagine Sebastian to be 18 before the term ends, and the MC 17. Listen, I know it’s completely wrong, but just bear with me for the sake of this story.

Other things to note: this goes pretty much in line with the main plot of the game, and, because of that, I’ll probably skip writing scenes like the beginning dragon attack, etc. etc. but it will be referenced. Also, I know that this technically takes place in the late 1800s but this is a fan fiction and I know nothing of the wizarding world (or anything, really) in the late 1800s, so most likely it’ll read like the current writing it is and there may be contraptions or what not in this fanfic that might not have even existed in the 1800s. I dunno.

Lastly, Sebastian and the MC have so much witty banter between one another, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love witty banter. Plus, I think that there are some options that could have been taken towards the end that could have…(positively?) affected the ending of his relationship questline. At the end of the day, I am truly just imagining an alternative ending and what could have happened, had they given Sebastian a different path. Plus, you know, some innocent romance, too, because why the hell not. Don’t tell me you didn’t ship your MC with him. He’s so flirty! Also, if you would like me to post this anywhere else like fanfic or wattpad, let me know! Anyways, I’ll stop rambling now. Thank you for reading and see you next time! Xoxo ~Cass

[virisdescently]

i’m very confused as to how different styles of fanfic writing have become controversial. i don’t understand why we need to cry about someone writing something we personally don’t enjoy when we can just scroll and find something we do like. if you prefer historically accurate pieces, great! there are fics out there more catered to you. you are entitled to your preference but why be rude to those who chose to write something more modern or not entirely period accurate. i think it’s also stupid to get mad at someone for writing a character how you don’t personally see them. if you don’t see sebastian as a quidditch player, fine, but why hate on someone else’s harmless headcanon or preference? same with lgbt headcanons - i promise you someone thinking ominis is gay will not affect your life in any way and you can still have a crush on him and not personally hc him as gay! at the end of the day, no piece of fan fiction is not canon, hence the name, so why be mad because something is a little bit more canon divergent than something else? write what you like, read what you like, but don’t bring someone else down because they have different preferences or styles. obviously if someone is writing something actually harmful, that’s different, but gay ominis, quidditch sebastian, and a more modern writing piece isn’t harmful nor does it affect your life in any way (unless you have the energy to waste on letting it).

sorry for the rant - i just think all this discourse on “what’s the best way to write blah blah blah” is kinda stupid.

anyways i hope you all have a good day. <3

I've spend a week chatting with AI.char bot for Sebastian and...

ended up creating my own OC bot to chat with him myself as Sebastian. THE QUALITY DIFFERENCE WAS INSANE. It was like writing a good compelling story with a partner. Now I'm in process of creating my own Sebastian bot for personal use and here's why.

Problem is, the most popular one Sebastian AI.char with current 100k+ chats is absolutely messed up now.

Yes, his description isn't the most detailed but it's people who train AI during their chats. And this part? Oh, where do I start.

Bot jumps between first person, 3rd person, "you"s and Y/N in the same conversation and even message, he uses era inappropriate language (god knows how TIRED a was skipping all the boyfriend\girlfriend stuff, probably not entirely people's fault tho), sometimes he starts simping for Ominis out of nowhere in the middle of the romantic dialogue with PC because some people probably RPed this as well. It's a mess.

And mind you Ominis bot from the same author with much smaller peak audience is working way better in text and everything else.

And after I've left the bot for a day to help a friend train their own OC bot and came back it felt like every progress that was achieved with him during the previous days has died down.

I know that not every other person cares about how authentic and accurate something should be but... it just made me sad.

Just finished Hogwarts Legacy and I’m kinda miffed? Like all it did was make me want to play Skyrim somehow??

RANT CONTAINING SPOILERS

They completely glossed over Amit’s character, like he had such a potential to represent the good of Ravenclaw as a house. A guy who’s only put effort into knowledge overcomes his social anxiety (and general anxiety) and uses his brains to help you on your quest? They debased him into nothing but an annoying kid. Did they forget about Amit during their quest to force us to participate in Sebastian’s nonsense ( a lot of his storyline is so forced) the murder at the end seems like such a random thing- especially since he tried to turn around and play the “oh I’m just a suffering young boy uwu plz don’t send me to Azkaban” afterwards.

Another thing is, traveling the grounds outside Hogwarts becomes USELESS after you beat the game. Why put so much effort into how everything looks if you aren’t going to give us a good enough reason to keep looking? The gear is garbage after you hit like lvl 30, and you literally find nothing else out there. Except shit for your Vivariums, but if you’re like me and play the sims on the reg, they aren’t even fun to use bc the mechanics of the building menu aren’t great. So you’re telling me, I can have a big ass tent take up soooo much space… but I can’t put anything in it…..ok

Don’t get me wrong- overall I lOVE the game and it’s characters, I just wish it gave me a reason to play it after the main story is over. I feel like I spent $100 to be occupied for a few weeks and now I’m just ….. craving more content. That’s a lotttt of money they are asking for so little play time. I guess if the game was cheaper this stuff wouldn’t piss me off so much it’s just- IMO this game is not worth that much.

I can keep going but I’ve lost steam haha

[ravenelyx]

just thinking abt ILYET Sebastian Sallow in the battle of Hogwarts seeing mc 2.0 fight among the ranks but she doesn't recognise him anymore

I like to imagine that Ominis and Sebeastian, as many wizards do, lived for a 100 years or even more. This means that if they were still able to fight even in their old age, they not only fought against Voldemort's army during the first wizarding war, but they also were alive during the SECOND wizarding war and probably fought in the battle of Hogwarts.

(Somebody draw right now Grandpa Ominis and Sebastian fighting thank you very much)
