Crazy wild shit man
#how are we straight up accepting the emmrich romance lich choice for how itâs written#does anyone feel me#hello???#no one else can see the inherent tragedy in this?#maybe Iâm too mort ass pilled but um. trading away your life to escape death is no life at all#and why canât rook be like. you killed yourself and took yourself away from me and now you have no skin for me to caress and no warmth for#me to share and though itâs still your consciousness youâve a) gained a perspective I can never ever share and b) you have accepted#outliving me so thoroughly that I will be just a drop in the bucket of your life even if I get another good 50 years out of life.#why canât I ask him is all this worth it without your heart????!??#why canât I break it off?!!!???#why do I HAVE to celebrate this choice#emmrich volkarin#dav spoilers#and thatâs not even getting into the philosophical questions surrounding fear and what it means to live like.#emmrich⊠has ocd. and I have no doubt that those fears are truly debilitating (despite this almost never coming up in the narrative)#and essentially this choice is one about how to deal with it. acceptance vs avoidance. and we see no consequences for either!!!#if he chooses to accept this fear as a part of him and work through it WE SHOULD SEE THAT WORK#he should struggle!! and that struggle should lead him towards making peace with that fear#AND!!#if he chooses to escape from that fearâ to actively avoid ever resolving itâ we should see him struggle with that too!!!!#molding your entire existence around this fear to the point you embody it⊠where are the emotional consequences for that!?#WHY DO Iâ AS SOMEONE WHO SUPPOSEDLY LOVES HIMâ NOT GET ANY OPPORTUNITY TO PUSH BACK OR ASK SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS?!?#in a game about the tyranny of immortality⊠we can send our beloved to kill his mortal self to come back as an immortal husk.#and weâre not even allowed to be sad abt it the very next scene is some goofy cartoon shit at the lighthouse where every single person just#immediately accepts this reality and has no issues. not even taash đ

Despite UNDERSTANDING where that elderly bag of hot wind is coming from, I wouldn't budge on paying. Like even if I understood he was just trying to provide for me without expectation of receiving out of the goodness of his raisened up vampire heart, I'd still be like- No đ- if he tried to give me my money back after finally making me understand and stop questioning his motives in letting me stay for free. (Like that meme with the guy trying to give Patrick his id back) Because that would be EVEN worse than the original situation id assumed, id be using an isolated senior citizen whos desperate for companionship and manipulating his desire for that to keep a roof over my head and keep myself fed. I would be genuinely villainous if I didn't pay him in some capacity. bc I wouldn't want someone to do it to my grampa, I hope he can understand but I'd NEVER do that to a kindly old man and he needs to take the money in order for me to not feel like I'm a cartoon villain
Itâs not taking advantage if you get companionship back. Thatâs the point, itâs not his house, itâs just a building he lives in. If itâs his house then itâs just as much yours, and Oliverâs and vivs and everyone else thereâs ever been. Youâd help him feed on you not because it allows you to stay but because you want to, want him to be fed and happy. Why canât Rook do that for you? Why must this only go one way?
If it really made you more comfortable and you vocalized it to him heâd allow it, take your money and throw it into making the whole houses days just a little brighter, but he absolutely couldnât conceptualize it. What he would be getting was you and youâd be getting him and somewhere in there comes the urge to take care of one another, not as payment but as companionship.
Heâd do whatever you wanted to stop you from feeling like a villain, thatâs something heâs well acquainted with, but heâd worry. Heâd worry endlessly about you, worry that something was missing that would make you feel like you were the only thing required here. Whether the instinct is wrong or right, he wouldnât be able to help himself but worry
#asks#vows#the difference in tone between your asks and my responses is kind of sending me#I have to wax poetic about rook I canât help it

every time lucanis talks about/includes neve when envisioning his future, i think about that person that had a complete mental breakdwon cause they fully felt like the addition of companion x companion romances (that have always been a thing) was targeting them specifically, as in discriminating against their oppressed lucanismancer self and they couldn't stand it. i'm so glad that in 2024 we can all be adults about this kind of things and absolutely do not go batshit insane and mysoginistic when something doesn't go exactly our way, sooo normal of us. đ€
#ari.txt#datv spoilers#text#i now i'm a broken record but this kind of attitude is honestly peak patheticism to me#like the game is right there and you can do whatever the fuck you want start pressing buttons girl#no one is bullying your rook be ffr#in other news i think those two are really cute. the pie thing was adorable!#in a perfect world i personally would have gone for nevebellara and davrinlucanis#but i'm glad them not being a thing doesn't send me into a spiral like these people cause it seems really unhealthy

I tried to put my rambling in the tags but there were too many tags so I got cut off. v-v
Picrew.
I know I'm going to play a pink-haired (they/them) nonbinary dwarven Shadow Dragon rogue. I'm intending to romance Emmrich my first time around, but I could be swayed by Harding - I've been waiting for a dwarven romance since Origins.
Everything else about this character is up in the air depending on what surname and lore we're given by our character selection.
I have a planned deadname, name, nickname and code name from the Shadow Dragons (preceding Rook) if none of them clash too badly with whatever surname we're assigned. The latter three of these are Nadzen, Nadz and Sradag, which is scots gaelic and pronounced like Seratak, and means Spark or Stinging Nettle.
Nadz is 35-37 ish and 10 years into their trans journey. At the moment, I'd like to associate their backstory with the casteless house Glavonak, whether by blood or by marriage.
As a reminder, brothers Voldrik (moderate) and Dworkin (excessive) Glavonak made lyrium bombs and organized the Amaranthine mines in in Awakening; and their cousin Temmerin Glavonak was involved in the Find Nathaniel quest in da2.
The three possible concepts I have for Nadz so far are:
1.Nadzen and their sister Myswaen are from Tevinter and heard gossip of Dworkin's bombs and intel of the movement of qunari ships (whether the qunari were actually going to threaten Dworkin at this time or were only chasing Isabela is unclear. However, Temmerin does tell Hawke in Act 3 that the qunari caused Dworkin to need to go into hiding). And so without the inconvenience of warships or the grandeur of an arishok to slow them down, the sisters were able to just get to Ferelden first and were how Dworkin went into hiding.
Myswaen stayed, and eventually married Voldrik, while Nadzen returned to Tevinter to supply dwarven bombs and other tech to the Shadow Dragons.
2. Nadzen's grandmother was a Glavonak, and even separated by seas (Nadzen's branch of the family in Tevinter vs the branch that was in Ferelden), they're still family; for all that means competition and favoritism in trade and invention. Dworkin's creations inspire Nadz's own, and Nadz was always peddling something of their own while they manufactured Dworkin's works for their customers (who were the Shadow Dragons for longer than they realized under a pseudonym); and when the Shadow Dragons realized this, they offered Nadzen more direct work.
3. Nadzen is Temmerin's half-sister, sharing a father â so Nadzen isn't a Glavonak by dwarven custom by not sharing their father's gender and neither by surfacer custom by virtue of being a bastard / a child of an affair; but they recognize each other as siblings more than other dwarves might, and their relationship is less complicated as they get older. Nadzen goes to Tevinter on Temmerin's order / advice to keep the qunari on their toes and away from the current source of the family's notoriety: Dworkin. They both study Dworkin's designs. Having spent the past 13 years in Tevinter, Nadzen has found themself caught up in the Shadow Dragons' ambitions.
Hey pals, tell me what you know about your Rooks so far
Iâm trying to get hype!
What I know about mine so far: Tammy is a former Tamassran who has had a crisis of faith and left the Qun after the death of her platonic life partner. Sheâs joined the Lords of Fortune to try and embrace what life might be like outside of the path she had unquestionably followed and loved, and has been adventuring for a few years. She often gets mistaken for Taash, which she likes more than Taash does.
#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#if you reblog this i suggest reblogging from the op so that my addition isn't caught up in op's notes. i'd feel so bad#but i'd love if anyone wanted to send me an ask or w/e to either suggest which of the concepts they like best#or if you're a mutual then i could adjust Nadz's concept to account for the presence of your oc / Rook (:#oc tag: nadzen

Here are bullets of their names and prowesses, as well as species. Please, do stay safe and out of trouble, and remember to eat and sleep well. Love, From, Rollo.

(Jamil, Floyd), Hints of possession in each section, Blood Drinking (Epel, Jade, Lilia), Theyâre all monsters that are evil so⊠Murder, Kisses (Kalim, Floyd, Malleus), Blood,
Prologue Chapter
Riddle Rosehearts [ Ghost ]
- Warning: Capable of Magic. [ Magic is a mystery in the field, all that is known is itâs abilities monsters have that arenât typically in their species skillset, as well as being especially powerful to utilize it ]
- He posses the abilities of, phasing, possession, kinesis (many different kinds), invisibility, telepathy, and short moments of time where he can have a physical body. He tends to forget heâs a ghost leading to numerous times where youâve accidentally injuried yourself and he rushes to your side to give aid, only for his to hand phase through you instead of truly helping. He feels guilty not being able to help you.
Thereâs a secret part of him that feels less guilty and more angry, about being incapable of touching you all the time. Sometimes, he wishes he was Ace just so he could wrap some part of him around you, but alas, he can only do so in short intervals, which just⊠isnât enough.
- Has a habit of just, watching. Youâve caught him at your window at night. He insists coming in without permission is unlawful, to which you tell him looking at you through glass is just plain creepy. You now invite him for tea parties, yet that still doesnât stop him from longingly gazing through the glass that separates you two. (freak)
- Glows a bright red when heâs either angry or extremely flustered. You walked in one time when the former was happening and were temporarily blinded, in your own temporary home no lessâŠ
With the latter⊠he was helping you figure out a crossword puzzle from a lost book you had found during the night. When he helped you figure it out, he swears your smile was so bright he was blinded. In your case, at least you didnât need a lantern to see the page anymore.
- He has numerous stitches on his body, his mouth, his neck, and his heart, or at least, where it wouldâve been had he still had it. In the short times when he decides to take on a physical form, he enjoys letting your hands trace over the numerous threads through his skin⊠He wonât admit it, but itâs a comfort.
- When heâs working, his exposition completely changes. You get scared of him, you forget just how determined he is to being the pinnacle of perfection, even as a monster.
- Survival: Fear and Grievances, prays on victims through Possesion and death.
Ace Trappola & Deuce Spade [ Zombies ]
- Infectious Bites. There have been many close calls where the two almost bit you, secretly hoping to turn you into them in their delusions of being with you forever, it never works though cause when they try, you turn and give them a smile that haunts them so bad they canât bear the thought of you hating them. The idea always rears its ugly head back to them, but then you treat the two like a regular human and, unknowingly, save yourself just a little longer.
- Anatomy Control (Disassembling limbs and still having control). Deuce has a very common occurring tendency, that leads him to lose his limbs on occasion. He can still feel what they feel, but when they separate from him, they tend to have a mind of their own. There have been several times where youâve been the one to return a limb, typically his hand, and heâs all fidgety cause it just refuses to let go of you.
âI⊠I promise this doesnât usually happenâŠ! I have no idea why it wonât let go of youâ with how lovingly it was stroking your hand earlier (which you wonât mention to Deuce)⊠Youâre not too sure either⊠Does it like the feeling of warmth? âNext time this happens, just⊠Feel free to stab itâ he looks dejected, but you accept his offer nonetheless.
- Ace has asked to sleep with you in your bed because his grave is so cold and lonely. You wouldnât want him dying alone a second time right? Thatâs too cruel. He was surprised when you accepted, even more so when you said there werenât rules like âYou have to stay on this side of the bed!â or âDonât touch me!â, he asked you if you had a thing for him, to which you only quirk up your eyebrow at his question.
âHmâŠ? Iâve slept with someone before, I donât think itâs that serious.â ⊠What. Whoâs this someone?! He doesnât end up sleeping as heâs left wondering who youâve been with before him, little does he know this someone was just a reserved monster hunter who was watching over you with a fever.
- Theyâre the most attached to you, in a physical sense. Considering at least one, or even more, of the limbs on the duo is just bones, along with Deuce missing an eye and Ace missing part of his face, itâs a bit hard for them to go out without giving people a heart attack. So⊠They break into wherever youâre temporarily staying, which is typically an abandoned house, and accompany you in every location they possibly can. One very worrying thing they do, is stick their limbs in your bag. They wonât admit it but, itâs cause they miss you. You need to tell them sticking Aceâs eye in there to keep watch is NOT okay.
- Survival: Eating Humans
Cater Diamond [ Ghost� ]
- Phasing, possession, invisibility, telepathy. Though you donât see him use any of these capabilities very much. You wonder why but never go through with asking him, how could you when he looks so happy to be in your presence? At least, you think heâs happy. You can never tell if itâs genuine or not⊠His smile doesnât quite reach his eyes like everyone elseâŠ
- Whenever he decides to spend his time with you, his face is never close enough in view for you to decipher any real features of his. What color are his eyes? What does his nose look like? Is the diamond you remember on him even there? The basics of a face are in your memory, but you can never remember the more eunique traits of his. You⊠Donât know why that is at all. It feels like youâre forgetting something from the first meeting you had with Cater, but your suspicions tell you it had something to do with his face.
- Even though heâs a ghost, it feels like he forgets something about that sometimes⊠Itâs different from Riddle, who simply forgets he no longer has a physical body, itâs like he doesnât remember he even died in the first place. Youâve seen him all alone, the sunny disposition he proposes to everyone is gone, a hollow feeling in his vicinity. You couldnât hear it clearly, the only word heard at all being sisters.
- The moment he sees you itâs like heâs scrambling to change his disposition, walking up to you casually as he mentions how cute you look today, ahh you should take him shopping! Heâll be discreet donât worryâ
âCater, how did you die?â
âWhaâ? W-who cares about that, come on just take me to town kayâ?â you do end up bringing him as he points at things heâll never be able to use, commenting on how cute they would be to have and show off, even attempting to wrap his arm around your shoulder before laughing off at his arm phasing through your body and making your spine shiver.
You donât miss the way his laugh is more forced than usual, and obvious distress at what happened. Why is he so upset he canât touch you? Is there a reason he wants to so bad? For once, you wanna know.
âCater, lets go on a date again.â
âI didnât know you were so up-frontâŠ! But, if youâre asking then I just canât say no can I?â
- Survival: Fear and Grievances, prays on victims through Possesion and death(?)
Trey Clover [ Frankenstein ]
- The sight of a giant, buff, green, adult man, hovering over you like a doting boyfriend as you bake is certainly a domestic sight to behold. Though it becomes less heartwarming when you remember this scientifically resurrected man is 8 feet tall, he can basically reach the top shelf when heâs kneeling.
- Just like the zombies of Heartslaybul, Trey can disassemble his limbs, but he has more control over it than the other two⊠Youâve had a fair share of moments where youâre trying to eat and a stitched up hand crawls towards you with a piece of cake., itâs sweet, but horrifying in the dark.
- Heâs a glorified brick wall, if brick walls could also fight back at insane speeds. You watched him unintentionally scare off another Monster Hunter once, they weren't intimidated by his size at all, even attempting to throw a punch at him to show off. Their try immediately backfired as Trey stood unfazed, watching them run away cradling their hand. Before you can blink, Treyâs already towering over you asking if there was a pastry he should try making for you. Honestly⊠You need to tell Crowley to hire better employees.
- Trey has electrocuted you once. Totally unintentional on his part, but if someone asked him what he thought when he did it, he would tell them with a soft smile you look cute. Meanwhile, youâre on the other side of the room trying to make sure Trey doesnât increase the voltage next time he tries holding you. Everytime he attempts to do just that, youâre quick to jump out the way. Heâll smile softly but he canât deny heâs a little disheartened... Seems heâll just have to rebuild that trust.
- Despite all the stitches on his body, unlike Riddle, there arenât open wounds on his body, so heâs technically the only one who can accompany you without drawing too much attention. Itâs a secret kept between the two of you, but whenever you head into the square, you both walk to as many bakeries as possible, tasting whatever you can afford. Whenever he put something in his mouth, heâd make an offhand comment about his family. You wonder⊠How did Trey even resurrect like this?
- Survival: Undocumented
Leona Kingscholar [ Beastman Mummy ]
- Warning: Capable of Magic.
- His skin is wrapped in so many bandages, all of them he can bend at his will. Youâre curious as to what he looks like under the fabric, but one glare and the feeling of binds grappling around your body is enough for you to reconsider. Thatâs only if you attempt to look underneath, if not, heâll sit in silence as you admire each carefully placed bind, cracking an eye open to watch you close in on him in curiosity.
- Watching him manipulate sand just to make places to sleep is entertaining, but being dragged into his timeframe of napping is surely not. The grip he has on you is ironclad as the two of you lay on the grainy bed, if you complain about sand getting into your clothes heâll make a sly suggestion of âJust take off your clothesâ before retreating into a slumber that you canât shake him from. Even if you did decide to do that, how would you even take them offâŠ? He wonât let go of youâŠ!
- Despite being a former corpse, if he was still mortal, heâd essentially be an ultimate being. Heâs super strong, fast, heâs quick at recovering, and even if you did cut off a limb of his heâd regrow in just half the time it took to get it off him. To make it worse heâs handsome, has an air of nonchalance, and a prince. You can just imagine the sound of Crewel and Rollo nagging at you for thinking such heinous things about a beast youâre meant to be killing.
- Whenever Leona controls the dead, you hide behind him. Not because youâre scared of his army, but because they remind you of Ace and Deuce, and youâd rather not see versions of themselves not heed danger whatsoever. You were half awake one time when he summoned corpses, your blurry eyes mistaking two of them for Deuce and Ace, wrapping your arms around their shoulders and pulling them into you. You only realize itâs not them when Leona grabs your from behind and hoists your body onto his shoulder like a sack.
âWrong Zombies.â he makes an effort to have you sleep more before you accidentally kill yourself for such a small error.
- That little pain inducement ability he has? It sucks. Itâs funny when he uses it to telepathically pinch Ruggie when heâs away. But, being reduced to a puddle of pure hurt and strain is the worst. Just watching Leona use it makes you remember⊠nevermind. Seeing his victims fall to their knees as he drains them of their life force is depressing, the burden of your defeat rearing its shame when he just knocks back and naps as their bodies turn to sand.
- Even when his tail wraps around your leg in a form of adoration, you canât help but feel disdain for yourself remembering all those who are now dust on the ground because of him.
- Survival: Feeding off vitality
Ruggie Bucchi [ Werehyena ]
- Please tell Ruggie to stop tracking you with his senses and your stolen possessions, youâve been scared too many times by him popping up out of nowhere. Itâs even more horrifying in the night since his face looks so scary (His happy face looks the same as his hunting face. Donât tell him though, heâll rob you of your belongings in pettiness.)
- His eyes are so hypnotizing, both poetically and realistically. Youâve seen him mesmerize loving couples into handing over their belongings in his human form, only to revisit them later in the night to consume the rest of his steal. You asked him once what the point is in getting their stuff in the day only to kill them in the night, and he just smiles before softly placing a piece of bread on your lips.
You never take the bread from his hands, allowing him to feed you himself all the time, feeding you with the same hands stained with a bloody ending to a romance story. Maybe⊠itâll get his pension for praying on lovers to soften, the thought of having his own might put his thoughts to bay⊠Who are you lying to that wonât happen, itâs how he lives, and how he will continue to live.
You know it wonât change when heâs desperately trying to hide the red stains under his nails.
- Heâs very keen on being in your vicinity. No reason, you think, but heâs just always there, talking to you like normal. Which is weird, why does it feel so normal? The more you ponder it, maybe heâs more natural in your life cause of how equalized he is. Heâs laidback yet cunning at the same time, not too good, but not too heinous (if you ignore his murders.) Itâs a nice change of pace from people who see, to be heavily relent on one trait. Even though with a kinder personality feel weird⊠So, talking to Ruggie is a nice escapeâ
âRuggie, did you take my wallet again?â
âHowâd you think I paid for that bread? Shihihiâ Augh! Ow okay I'm sorryâ!â he makes it up to you by giving you his portion of food. You pretend to take it out of pettiness, but late at night when heâs sleep, you wrap it up and leave it on his bedside for when he goes hungry in the night.
When he does wake up, he knows who left the meal by his side, including the extras that lay next to it.
- Survival: Eating anything he can get his hands on
Jack Howl [ Human� ]
- You always wondered how Jack got so built. Of course, if itâs from training, you would never undermine his efforts. But, his strength is so hardcore you doubt itâs even humanly possible. There had been a speech from Crowley in town you attended with both Jack and Rollo, all three of you booted to the very back. When you commented on how you couldnât see, Rollo told you âWe could always move forwardââ But heâs cut off with shock when he watches Jack effortlessly carry you onto his shoulder, keeping you rested there for an hour straight without complaint, even shifting the way he holds you depending on what you wanted at the moment.
âWe couldâve just gone up there, Jack⊠Now put them downâŠ!â
âI donât mind, They seem comfortable here anyway.â You canât help but laugh at Rollo's overbearing nature, patting his head as you hold onto Jack.
- Hes never answered you before on when or how he joined the hunting organization, literally. Heâs so silent when you ask, but the moment you switch to a different topic heâs chiming in his opinion like he didnât just give you the silent treatment for 15 minutes. He told you heâd never lie to you, so, you guess he was telling the truth about that statement.
- Whenever Rollo is unavailable to you, Jack essentially works as his âreplacementâ according to Sam. You wouldnât call him that though, Jack cares for you the same way Rollo does, but heâs a lot less⊠Restricted towards you. You can go out at midnight with him as long as you let him walk you back home, You can eat more junk food, and you can even go into the forest with him outside of a job! Rollo is oblivious to it, but there are moments where you might, just a tinsy weensy bit, prefer having Jack watch over you compared to him. You still love Rollo though! (Never say that to him directly, he will dissect what kinda of love it is youâre implying for him.)
- Overall, you canât wait to see him again when you go to Savanaclaw! Youâre curious as to why he hasnât reached back to you after the 2 months he's been there thoughâŠ
Azul Ashengrotto [ Slime Kraken ]
- Warning: Capable of Magic.
- His true form is huge, being bigger than the size of 5 pirate ships combined. When he shrinks himself though, heâs only 7 feet long and huge, rather than 50 feet long and huge! Less scary right? (itâs not, youâre just trying to delude yourself.)
- Itâs more dangerous when considering the substance heâs made out of is multi-purpose, making him invisible, essentially unkillable, and extremely capable in offense. Youâve seen it first hand considering youâve been on the receiving end of his malice once. If you have to admit it though, itâs a lot scarier watching him use his skills on unknowing sailors. You collect what remains of them, and set them to rest far away from the sea.
- During the night, youâre divided on whether or not he can be considered horrifying, or beautiful. The twins glow, but they're limited to their one-color pallets. Azuls body, channels the light from his surroundings, making him more than one color sometimes. Itâs a bit saddening when you notice how insecure he is about the material of his body, even using magic to appear more human-like in his state. If you tell him heâs handsome in his regular slime state, heâll flush in embarrassment. (If you go a step further and hug him as such a gross substance, goodness, heâs already looking through books at the bottom of the ocean about human courting. Never mind youâre still trying to kill him, heâll slay your heart if he has to!)
- If he uses Magic, he, can turn himself into a human for a little. He never really had a reason to go on land, heâs powerful in the sea, even ranked as one of the 7 most wanted monsters. But, now that youâre in his life, he wants to follow you and see what it would be like to live with you as a person. He doesnât call it a date, but he thinks of it as one, even imagines himself telling Jade and Floyd (Little does he know they already beat him to the punch on that oneâŠ). You take him by the hand and the urge to stay on land with you becomes even stronger. But, so does the need to have you in the ocean with him.
- His tentacles along with his crazy strength, just make him an even harder foe to fight. Truly⊠What are you meant to do when youâre sitting down and in his sleep, he just clings onto you with a tentacle, and now you just, canât leave? Besides heâs asleep, how are they latching onto you so hard⊠They don't have a mind of their ownâ You remember seeing an article that wrote about such a phenomenon. Okay, so maybe they do act of their own volition⊠why do they cling so desperately to you?
- Survival: Eating as much of whatever is available
Jade Leech & Floyd Leech [ Skeleton Sea Serpents ]
- During your stay in their abode, youâd wake up to Floyd squeezing you so hard you swear one of the bones on his tail were gonna puncture you. Heâs too strong, horrifically strong to the point you fear getting squeezed more than twice a day could genuinely kill you. If you donât voice this concern, you might risk your death, but if you do, heâll restrain himself a bit (he couldnât bear the thought of killing his shrimpy! Youâre too fun to play with, let him kiss those sore places better yeah? Besides, just a little biting doesnât hurt)
- Their senses are so enhanced, itâs just as scary as their strength. You had sliced your hand once, a medium amount of blood pouring out, and before you could even do anything, Jade had swam up to you and latched onto your wrist, pulling you down, almost tugging you into the water, and began licking the wound clean, his eyes empty and his sharp teeth dragging across your skin. You thought he was miles awayâŠ?! How did he know you were bleedingâŠ? When heâs done, he pats your hand and smiles before engaging in a casual conversation about your day, uncharacteristically gentlemanly after such a scary display. If you ask him what that was about, heâll innocently tilt his head and ask you âwhatever are you talking about?â
- Just like Azul, their true forms are giant, not as big as his, but still equally as terrifying, the sharp bones that poke out their body further proving this fact.
- Extremely Fast, Youâve seen this first hand when Floyd jumped out of the water and dragged you through the sea to transport you to a âbeach dateâ in the middle of the ocean, in only 3 minutesâŠHe heard of these dates from Azul, âSaid he was gonna take you on one, thought itâd be funny if I took yah instead.â Youâre unable to inquire what he means by âAzul trying to take you outâ, as heâs brightly smiling when he places a sailor's cap on you. The small sight of blood in his canines is all you need to know about where this hat came from.
- Their teeth are sharp thatâs for sure, you watched Jade sink his teeth into unsuspecting marine life. The thought of him doing the same to ships 7 times the size of such animals, makes you worried for future sailors, and⊠For yourself. He flaunts those ivories at you so much, youâre worried heâs trying to hint at his insatiable hunger. (Heâs doesnât bite like Floyd does, but honestly, youâd prefer if he bit you instead of grazing his teeth on your skin so sensually)
- They like to drag you into the water with them. Youâre sure itâs how they have fun, the only exposure to the human world other than you is Azul and artifacts they collect from ships they were responsible for destroying. So of course, they wouldnât know the first thing of human play, yet⊠you have the underlying feeling they have a reason for doing such a thing that isnât just entertainment.
- Survival: Anything they can fit in their mouths (Whether it be marine life or ships. Though, these two have a specific craving for human)
Kalim Al-Asim [ Genie ]
- Extremely strong, every time he hugs you he completely forgets his strength. In the moments where he does realize it, heâs quick to apologize. If you tell him where you hurt, heâll insist âkissingâ it will make it better! Itâs what worked on his siblings, so it must work for you! If you donât tell him⊠heâll cry, so itâs better to just tell him.
- Wishmaking. He insists on letting him give you a wish, after all, you did save him from being lonely! (Youâre not sure if you could call it âsavingâ considering you were trying to kill him⊠and still are⊠). You never accept his offer, with the knowledge that everything has a price, (Thank you Azul for such a good lesson learned) which makes him sad, but in your awkward ways of comfort, you tell him the only wish you want, is a hug. He is ecstatic and wraps his arms around you, tight. Youâre regretting your wish now. Though, the glare from two pairs of slit eyes tells you youâre not the only one who doesnât like the wish.
- Too many riches too count⊠You wake up, gifted in gold and jewels, youâre halfway through the day, more diamonds and rubies, going to sleep⊠Gold and emeralds. You told Kalim no more. He found a loophole and just replaced the cheaper items with more expensive ones. Itâs technically not more so⊠You make a reminder to dump it all on Rollo, heâll surely enjoy having money to tend to his garden. (He wonât. You already know heâll refuse anything from a monster. But, if you bat your eyelashes enough he might accept it.)
âKalim, I donât need any more rubies.â Youâre sat on his golden throne, the optimistic wish granter between your legs with his arms wrapped around your waist as he sits on the floor, a beaming smile making you hesitant on his next words.
âThen Iâll just give you more diamonds!â ⊠Truly, you thought genies could only give out three wishes, why does it feel like this one wants to give you more than that⊠Itâs gotten to the point where you think he wants only you to be the one he grants anything to, going so far as finding a way to bypass the rules. He even gave you his lamp, which you gave back to Jamil upon receiving it.
- You do wonder⊠Where are the rest of the people Kalims granted desires to? Even more so, the rest of the genies, as far as youâre concerned, Crowley said there was only one left (that he wanted to get his greedy hands on). If you had just searched Kalim and Jamils shared space, surely you wouldâve found the corner filled with broken lamps in it.
Survival: Not sure, Either immortal or some secret to survival.
Jamil Viper [ Snake ]
- Warning: Capable of Magic.
- Half snake half man, his lithe body is enough to give you pause no matter how many times you see it, even after seeing the leeches who have a similar body. You think the reason might be more cause of his intimidating eyes rather than his actual body however, 2 sharp slits are enough to make anyone rethink their judgment.
- When he sleeps, he unknowingly wraps around you, his human half bunching you in his arms as if he isnât squeezing your legs. You think itâs just his instincts using use as warmth considering heâs cold-blooded, so you let him (Little do you know heâs perfectly warm enough, his body is just drawn to you for some reason). When he wakes up, he considers poisoning himself from embarrassment.
- Venomus, the long pointed fangs could tell you that much. When he sheds a tooth after meeting you, he doesnât toss it away like he used to, he finds a piece of string and slides it through the solid, letting you watch him in skepticism as he slithers towards you, gently placing the newly formed necklace in your palm as his forked tongue sticks out. (He also left a little venom trapped inside, in case anyone gets a little too close than wanted.)
- Donât stare into his eyes to long, or else youâll find yourself entranced by the slits in his pupils, and completely hypnotized without even his knowledge. Itâs like heâs so enchanted by you that he forgets he can do something like that. When he realizes what heâs done, an hour goes by before you come to. You donât feel any different, but one looks at your wrist adorned with a snake bracelet that wasnât there before tells you something happenedâŠ
You canât move it from its place, but you honestly donât want to, itâs pretty. Works perfectly well in Jamil's favor, if you had, you definitely wouldâve noticed the two holes punctured into your skin by a familiar set of fangsâ
âJamil, Kalim gave me his lamp again.â
â⊠Really?â Heâs quick to take it off your hands. If only he could wish instead⊠it would make his life so much easier.
- Survival: Undocumented
Vil Schoenheit [ Incubus ]
- Warning: Capable of Magic.
- Youâre human. Youâre not immune to charm and flirtation. Itâs disappointing that Vil is so good at what he does. You havenât given into temptation, at least, not yet.
- Shapeshifting, heâs told you before if you have someone in mind youâd ever want to do such things with, he can transform into them if you hope to practice your confession, when you tell him nobody comes to mind, you fail to notice the devious smile that perches on his lips in victory. It seems the only face that will appear in your brain in such moments of vulnerability will be his, and thatâs enough for him.
âThough, Since I used to see Neige almost every day maybe his? He has seen me in moments even Rollo hasnâtâŠâ
What?
- Feasting on the vitality of humans is something commonly known for incubi, youâve asked Vil before if youâre going to die soon from him touching you⊠You already know heâs an amazing actor so when he answers you, you canât tell if heâs lying or if itâs the truth, especially when he takes your hand in his and brings it to his lips like a prince, perfectly playing off the suspicion in his answer.
- You think itâs unfair heâs so attractive, if he had only half his looks it would at least be easier to not stare at his pretty featuresâ what are you thinkingâŠ?! You can already hear the scolding of everyone else telling you how heinous it is to think such thoughts, but once again, you're distracted by the feeling of Vil dipping into the couch next to you, offering a drink as if you two were just ordinary people. To be fair, his whole survival depends on how well he can interact with humans⊠He only smiles when you take the drink.
- Making Hallucinations is just common practice for Vil, Rook praising him for all the people who gave into his temptations from his feats. You were once sure he had never used it on you, you could never fall for such a puny delusion, but now, your confidence has faded. Things in your memory are blurry, unclear.
Has⊠Vil has been using it on you�
- Survival: Corruption of humans through desire, feeding off vitality
Rook Hunt [ Boogeyman ]
- You make an extreme effort to avoid all manners of shadows since youâve met him. Lurking in the dark is his forte, and it doesn't bode well for you because almost all your work is done in the dark. Even then⊠your efforts are in vain because you still feel the sensation of eyes burning into you at all times of the day. In these cases, you retreat to Vil in hopes he can rein him in a bit.
- Shapeshifting is a rare and dangerous ability. Unfortunately, Rook of all monsters has it. Even in places with no signs of shadows, it feels like heâs still there. It doesnât make it any better that he hints towards that being the truth.
âAh trickster, you looked magnifique in that bathing suit!â
âYou were the waiter who kept offering me drinks werenât you.â
âThe way I observe my muse shall not be disclosed!â
- Watching Rook feast on fear isnât scary, but rather⊠unsettlingâŠ? He places his mouth near his victim as what you can only assume to be their fear twists up into his throat, the horrified human trembling in terror. Such a scary expression quickly disappears when he turns to you with the happiest smile and gushes to the poor human about how wonderful you are, rubbing his cheek to yours like a sappy couple.
âAh! TricksterâŠ! You are quite sweaty! Shall I dry you offââ you shut him up by throwing the same towel he was about to clean you up with, in his face.
- His skill set is already horrifying, but adding in the basic ability of enhanced strength just makes it worse. You canât even begin to count how many walls Rook has torn through for you⊠A simple ow, and what you originally thought to be a brick wall, is now a giant hole with the boogeyman at your call. Itâs harder to be nice to him when heâs insistent that you train your capabilities on him. The amount of times Rook has turned a stab into a firm held waltz is just too many.
âNon non, You must hide your hand better trickster.â
âI would do that if you weren't cradling me into a dip right now Rookâ Stop dancing with me already!â
- Survival: Fear and Grief
Epel Felimer [ Newbie Vampire ]
- He's asked you before if he could suck you dry. He honestly expected you to say no, but when you reached your arm out and told him to just not turn you, he was sure you must be some sort of blessing in disguise. When heâs done, he begs you not to tell Vil, as the incubus banned him from feeding. Youâll come to regret it at some point though, as now he continuously comes back to you in times of hunger.
- He runs at such fast speeds, itâs incredible to you, youâve clapped for him a couple times, but, every-time you did⊠he got distracted and would trip. He wishes the sun would come up and kill him in those moments.
- Compulsion is a dangerous thing, you shouldnât be shocked, but luckily for you, he⊠doesnât seem to know how to use it the way it should be utilized. The moment he does finally master such an ability, youâll have to find someway to get past that. He did try using it on you once, a simple command asking you to tell him how âmanlyâ he is, somehow, someway, the command turned into something much more⊠embarrassing. He stands in bewilderment at the way your hands are cupping your face, endlessly praising Epel about how amazing he is, and how you wish to stay with him forever.
Vil and Rook stepped in to save you. He was sat in the corner as a punishment.
- His hunger is, insatiable. Youâre not sure youâve ever seen such a monster so bloodthirsty. Itâs like he has some goal to just, feast on as many people as he can⊠He mistook you as a stranger he could freely feast on, jumping on you, ready to sink his fangs into your neck. Heâs only narrowly stopped when the moon shines on your face and he knows itâs you. If it wasnât, whoever took your place would not doubt be dead.
- Survival: Blood
Idia Shroud [ Reaper ]
- Warning: Capable of Magic.
- With how moody Idia is, you forget what his occupation is until he shows up at your door with the scythe he uses to escort the dead.
- Reapers arenât necessarily evil or good, which is why youâre always conflicted about how to feel about Idia. Should you⊠Make your decisions based off his personality rather than what he is to slay himâ? Why is he whispering about how all the other monsters should drop deadâ Ah, he thinks theyâre cooler than him.
- You essentially work as a discounted vent session as Idia talks about how everyone else is so much worthier than him to be slain by hunters. They all have cool abilities and cool looks, what is he stuck with? An edgy cloak and a tool farmers use to cut hayâ
- His rant is cut short at the sound of a cheap board game slamming on the table, his eyes looking up to you placing a game piece on the spot, signaling him to take his turn as you tell him how heâs âthe only one you find playing games with funâ. Truly, you must be one of the kindest souls heâs had the fortune of meeting, he should know, half of the spirits he escorts are huge douches.
- It just makes him all the more worried about bringing you to the after life.
- Even though Idia doesnât have a reason to actively hurt humans, itâs still worrying when he describes to you in detail of his After life Capabilities. He once told you a story about how a guy was acting so high and mighty he trapped him in the space between life and death, only coming back to laugh at him when the man was practically broken. He only stops his retelling when he looks up and sees the most hurt expression on your face.
- After that, he sits up before you can even say anything, leaving immediately as he buries his head in his hands. The next day, heâs at your door as you silently stare at him, his form of retribution for your hurt being whatever you mentioned wanting during the week. You accept his gift, but that still doesnât stop the fear of what Idia does to the souls he guides with a lack of fondness.
- Survival: Unable to Die. (Speculation)
Malleus Draconia [Dragon Gargoyle⊠And⊠something else?]
- Warning: Capable of Magic.
- Heavy durability, as he is pure stone. in times of desperation, you watch as green sparkles fly around the man as stone turns soft. His spell doesnât last long but in his desire he chooses to pepper you in kisses with smooth lips. The first time he attempted to romantically place a peck on your arm, you cringed at the feeling of rough stone on your skin. It hurt his feelings so he opted to just spell himself instead.
- Heavy. He didnât wanna move away from a doorway you had to exit through to leave. You tried lifting him out of the way, you donât think youâve ever tried so hard to move something before. He thought it was an attempt at a hug, so you ended up being smooshed in his arms for an hour before Lilia saved you.
- Camaflouge, the stone heâs made of, and moss that grows on his body can be manipulated in any way he wishes, even his size, itâs scary watching him go from his regular 6 feet to an astonishing 10. This trait of his has served numerous moments where youâre surveying his castle only to feel arms pulling you back into a stone exterior. Your reflexes are swift to throw a punch, only to have the cruel reminder of rock busting your hand.
âAh forgive me, I did not mean to hurt you Child of huntersâ
âMy hand is broken Malleus.â
âWe can just get you a new hand can we not?â That night serves as the first of having to tell Malleus he canât always spell you when youâre injured. To this, he tells you thatâs nonsense and heâll expend all his reserves for you.
- Considering heâs also a Dragon, flight, and fire breathing really shouldnât surprise you. What does surprise you is when he looked more dragon than gargoyle sometimes, his eyes becoming more lively, scales being more obvious, and his wings and horn being truer than theyâve ever been. You have a sneaking suspicion his instincts change forms too, his already heavy clinginess increasing tenfold. Youâre either held by his clawed fingers or wrapped in his wing.
- Despite Malleus being marked as one of the most dangerous kills possible, you find it extremely easy to⊠ask him to do something. In fits of anger, heâll cling impossibly close to you, trying desperately to attempt to cease the ugly feeling festering inside him. Heâll tell you he never wants you to leave his side. If youâre not feeling like being trapped inside, all you need to do is wrap your arms around his neck and lean into his ear with a low whisper, asking him to let you go. For a moment, his grip will tighten, but slowly he relents, his stone eyes watching you wave goodbye.
- Though, truthfully, You donât feel like youâre free⊠Sometimes, you notice gargoyles in places where there shouldnât be any. Sooner or later, his resolve might break, asking him for such freedoms might not be as easy.
- Not only that but⊠Thereâs definitely a side to him that isnât just some Dragon Gargoyle. Whenever you have the chance to dig deeper into it, youâre met with a wall that separates you from the truth. Just what is Malleus?
- Survival: ???, Unable to Die. Do not attempt.
Lilia Vanrouge [ ??? ]
- Caution: Possibly capable of Magic.
- Certainly the most mysterious of the bunch⊠To be fair, everyone in the Diasmonia space is filled with anonymity. He doesnât have any specific qualities that warrant a decisive conclusion, but youâre confident that heâs not a human. Sometimes he has wings, sometimes fangs, sometimes spider legs, just what is he?! (He has used this capability to scare you on numerous occasions, taking the form of a giant wasp and chasing you once. When he gets bored though, he clings onto you endlessly, not as bad as Malleus but still very often. You woke up to him in your bed once, and now he occasionally appears there to âwake you upâ by sliding his arms around your waist. Please tell him youâll only let him do this if he stops turning into freaky stuffâŠ)
- You have no doubt heâs one of the monsters that eat humans. You took a sniff of his red juice once, itâs definitely blood, and considering why youâre here, itâs for sure not animal blood. Out of guilt for failing whatever human is his current meal, you offered up yourself as a blood bag, and he happily indulged, pining you to the table and nipping that delicious spot on your neck. Out of courtesy for everyone else in the castle... You lock the door.
But it doesnât matter, youâre quite sure he didnât honor the agreement anyway, as heâs happily feasting on a mystery meat you know isnât any creature near this castle.
- He always keeps you on your toes, one of the moments being when he used his flight to carry you all over the sky, laughing at you and your body clinging onto him in fear of dropping to your death. It makes it worse that he doesnât do it slow, he flies so fast you can hear the wind slicing through the air, your arms only wrapping around his neck trying to get even closer than you already are.
âLiliaâŠ! Lilia! Put us downâ! Iâm gonna dieâŠ!â you can feel his hand pat your head as he tightens his grip on your body.
âAwwâŠdonât worry, as long as Iâm here you wonât fall!â you believe him, but that doesnât make you feel any safer at allâŠ
- Despite how decrepit the Diasmonia castle is, there are still photos of its rein on the wall. In an attempt to know your targets better, you look at some of them, immediately recognizing Lilia in one of the frames⊠But, his aura seemed different, more cold, more cruel⊠He was bloodied, and youâre sure that body heâs holding is what you think it is, but, he doesn't have that usual crazy happy look he has when he catches his next meal.
-Just how did Lilia end up like this?
- Survival: Undocumented
Sebek Zigvolt [ Swamp Monster ]
- He says youâre pathetic. (He continues to leave flowers specific from his swamp at your door) Youâre not⊠Youâre not very sure what he thinks of youâŠ? He says youâre a coward, yet continues to gift you plants after you offhandedly mentioned how you think theyâre pretty. So⊠What does that meanâŠ?
- Maybe theyâre poisonous⊠Heh⊠Maybe you can use them on Crowleyâ
- Your plan of attack is interrupted as a booming voice bursts your ear drums, the source of distress being the green being covered in moss, water, and vines. You follow the trail of plants leading from the swamp to the creature behind you, a bear, wrapped in controlled swamp foliage by the monster of the water. Sebek huffs and chastises you for such carelessness, but the feeling of you scooping his hands into yours and thanking him with a smile makes the words on his tongue go numb. Not for too long though, as he tells you obviously a beast like him can handle such lowly creatures, no wonder you didnât notice.
- Before you came along, according to Silver, the water he resides in used to be a mess, as he said âLilia believes it to fit my role of Swamp Monster, so I shall keep it!â so he kept it the way it is and let it out control. But, apparently, after you, it subtly became neater, flowers adorning the ridges of where once was messed moss, his water adorned with petals of your favorite color, the place even smelling like your favorite scent. He tells you itâs just a change of scenery for Malleus, not anyone else, you only smile at him, not replying. Malleus doesnât have the same favorite scent.
- Like his fondness for nature, his power of water is equally as tantalizing to watch. He didnât know you were there, but you were watching him train, your eyes becoming more entranced in his movements when you saw him become sidetracked from his patience for a moment. A book was laid in front of him, one that he delved deeper and deeper into with interest. It seems he has a fondness for literature, so after that, you would leave books you had at his residence, watching with amusement at how fascinated he was. Unfortunately, you walked up to him once when he was meant to be training, and in attempt to hide his hobby, he flicked his hands and let the water swallow every page in aqua.
âI have been training this whole time humanâŠ!â
âAh, I got you all those. Now theyâre wetâŠâ He acts like he doesnât care, but he secretly feels bad, so discreetly, he attempts to piece every page lost in the water together before presenting you with a new book.
- Survival: Swamp
Silver [ ??? ]
- Honestly, his abilities are lighthearted when not used to a heavy extent. He can eat dreams of those who sleep, typically, nightmares. There have been rumors spreading of a night creature who creeps into rooms, sucking the ambitions and hopes of its victims⊠Theyâre not wrong, if heâs called upon too often heâll strip the person of all their wants and, dreams. Go a step further, and he might as well suck the life out of a human.
- But⊠You know he doesnât mean to⊠At least you hope not.
- Sometimes your judgment feels misplaced when you watch him go overboard in his hunger, his trance only capable of being broken when you grab him by the shoulder, maybe even point a blade at him in desperation.
- He can travel into dreams. Youâve caught him lurking in your conscious one too many times to count. Itâs not like heâs devouring your fantasy, but you canât help and wonder why heâs almost always there. He doesnât change whatâs happening in it, he doesnât destroy it so⊠Why is he there so often?
- itâs ironic, a creature who lives off the manifestation of peopleâs conscious, sleeps so much. You remember sorting through flowers Sebek had âgiftedâ you, (Youâre not sure if it counts as gifted considering he threw them at you saying âtheyâre frail, just like a weak human.â) and Silver had sat right next to you, begining a sentence before dropping his head into your lap, a deep slumber commencing on your thighs.
- He wakes up ready to apologize, but the feeling of your hands gently playing with his hair, is enough for him to fall back asleep immediately.
- Heâs a lot more welcoming to stay with compared to the rest of the monstrous residents of Diasmonia. If youâre free from Malleus and Lilias's grasp, youâre quick to run over to him. Heâs typically sleeping, so, when heâs nodding off you sit down next to him, slowly placing your head on his shoulder as you fall asleep. If youâre to be trapped here for a bit, it wouldn't hurt to have some form of comfort in this run-down place.
As you fall into slumber, you secretly wish to meet Silver in a dream again.
Itâs coincidental that he wakes up the moment you place your head on him, itâs a pretty sight to him. He hopes⊠youâll stay here, he enjoys your company too much. As soft snores leave you, his hands move on their own, grasping onto your hands, intertwining his fingers with yours.
Itâs selfish, he was raised to do what he must to survive as a monster by his father. So he knows, what he feels is natural, but thereâs a lingering thought he shouldnât feel this heavy about a human⊠He doesnât wanna let you go.
- Survival: Dream Feasting
Neige Leblanche [ Angel ]
- Itâs⊠a bit unnerving how kind he is⊠You understand heâs a supposed Guardian Angel specially dedicated to your well but goodness, he was not very good at his job.
- He essentially watches you go about your day, occasionally blessing you to see your eyes light up with happiness.
- Despite how much he grooms the feathers on his back, he never lets you get too close to them, folding them back up when youâre near enough to see them more intricately or graze your fingers on them. It never bothered you, truly, heâs so nice to to you you could never be suspicious of him.
- He had to attend to personal matters once when you were eating together, his wings fluttering before he ascended. A pair of feathers had fallen in place of where he once was, One plumage was as white as snow, and the otherâŠ
- Was as dark as ebony.
- Survival: Being Good
Rollo Flamme [ Human ]
- Heâs always been by your side.
- He would never be one of those wretched filthy beasts. Heâs always cared for you when you couldnât care for yourself.
- Donât look at him like that. Why⊠Why is there scorn in your eyesâŠ? Heâd never hurt you, never.
- Youâre the only sanctuary of purity in his life, he wants to embrace you. He always has, your happiness has always been his.
- He has always wanted to save you from the hellish life mother nature had dealt you.
So pleaseâŠ
- Let him hug the one thing he cares for one more time. AndâŠ
Forget the white lie he gave you.
- Survival: You
The day is today. The date you left Rollo without saying even the slightest hint of a farewell. It has been 364 days, without you.
Itâs a sorrowing sight for coworkers of his who know how close you are. But, if they had just looked closer, the looming feeling of festering jealousy would no doubt impede their senses.
Rollo knows he can feel it. He will find a way to drag whatever wretched beasts are ruining you with their filth, down to hell.
âAh! Mr.Flamme, Hello Helloâ!â ringed fingers slam mercilessly into the wood of a desk, any harder and he mightâve broken it. âBe carefulâŠ! This desk is expensiveâŠ!â
âItâs been a year since [Name] left for these jobs⊠Why arenât they back?â Rollos on the verge of bursting a vein, the only composure he has left is strung together by the thin thread of hope he has of you coming back, coming back to him.
âWell, My little Birdie isââ
âThere is no My, and there is no Birdie, donât call them that.â
âPossesive muchâŠâ
âItâs not posseviness.â Crowley only nods at him, obviously, he doesnât believe the man, but heâll pretend if it means moving this conversation along.
âI will answer your question in due time, now would you please⊠remind yourself why it is youâre here in the first place?â
âââ
A/n Did I do a shit ton of research about monsters and their abilities for this, a post that was meant to be a shitpost? No, who would do that? (I would). Anyways, I hope this can satisfy Monster!Twst enjoyers while I work on the heartslaybul chapter, I promise Iâm working on it to make it the best possible! (Blame the economy for my lack of activity on it)

Hi, can you write a Cregan Stark x Velaryon reader where the reader is the youngest daughter of Rhaenys and Corlys, she is the rider of the Cannibal, she finds out about her motherâs death through a Raven and Cregan comforts her, she nearly breaks down in rage similar to rhaenrya
Request: Being the daughter of Rhaenys and married to Cregan Stark
I had a few requests of the same genre (Lucerys's death, Rhaenyra's deah), but I decided to go with this one as I rarely write for Rhaenys and Corlys' children!Reader
Warnings: mention of death (spoilers for Rhaenys' fate), grief
my taglists are here + you can send requests here at any time
â
Leaving Driftmark for the North after marrying the Lord of the North came with a lot of changes. The weather, for instance, was much different. Driftmark was windy and cold due to the Blackwater Bay, but the North was just cold. And it was always snowing. Even in the summer.Â
You landed your dragon in the courtyard of Winterfell, the cold air biting through your riding cloak. Cannibalâs warm breath created brief clouds of steam as he settled, his scales glistening with a thin layer of frost. Around you, Northerners scurried away with looks of terror on their faces.Â
In their defense, Cannibal was imposing and scary. With his pitch-black scales, glowing green eyes and the jagged spines that ran down his back; he was a beast from childrenâs nightmares.
ââWinter is coming, my Lady,ââ Cregan reminded as you dismounted, sliding down from Cannibal. ââIn two moons, the snow will be so intense that you will be unable to see Winterfell from the skies.ââ
You grimaced, not looking forward to that time. ââDo not remind me.ââÂ
Cregan chuckled, and Cannibal took to the skies again. ââA raven came from Castle Black about troubles. Wildlings trespassing.ââÂ
ââWhen are you leaving?ââ you asked, knowing what it meant.Â
It always saddened you whenever he would leave for the Wall. The journey was eighteen days, and his return was uncertain. But Cregan was the Warden of the North. Protecting the realm from what was beyond the Wall was his duty.
ââIn the morrow. A hundred men are making the journey,ââ he informed, walking alongside you towards the doors of the castle where a hot bath was waiting for you in your chambers. ââWinterfell will be in your command while I am away.ââÂ
You never wished to take the succession of Driftmark, but you enjoyed your position as Lady of Winterfell. It came with responsibilities, but not too many that you couldnât be a dragonrider. You took a pleasure being called âLady Starkâ.Â
ââThe nights are colder without you,ââ you said, curling your arm around Creganâs.Â
ââAnd the nights are longer and more lonely without you, my love,ââ he responded, pulling you in by your waist and leaning down to kiss you.Â
The kiss was short-lived as you were interrupted by a fellow northmen.Â
ââMy Lord,ââ he said, holding a small roll of parchemin. ââA raven has arrived. Urgent news from Dragonstone.ââÂ
Cregan took the rolled parchemin and unrolled it. You watched as he read, the loving smile from seconds ago washing off his face.Â
Something has happened.Â
In his life, Cregan has had many bad news to deliver, but the one he just received was one he never wanted to tell you. He knew it would crush you.Â
He rolled the parchemin back and didnât speak until you reached your chambers.Â
ââWhat did the message say?ââ you asked, worry settling in your guts. Was it the Queen? Or your nieces? ââCregan, you must tell me.ââ
ââMy Lady,ââ he began, his eyes somber as he looked down at you. ââThe Princess Rhaenys has perished with her dragon Meleys at Rookâs Rest. She got caught into a trap set by Aegon and Aemond. The Queen sends you her deepest condolences.ââÂ
In that moment, the world around you seemed to turn to a blur as you processed Creganâs words. Your mother was dead. The news felt like a punch to the gut, a knife to the heart, and you stumbled backwards. Creganâs hand gripped your elbow, steadying you from falling over. His touch was firm but not tight, his large hand easily keeping you upright. He could see the shock and pain in your face, and his heart ached for you in that moment.Â
Years ago, he too dealt with the loss of a parent â his father. He had been three and ten, but he remembered the pain and grief he had felt then.Â
Cregan watched you, waiting for the moment you would break down in tears, but you never did. Instead, your jaw clenched and you straightened yourself.Â
ââWhere are you going?ââ he asked in concern, watching as you walked toward the door.Â
ââTo Kingâs Landing,ââ you replied, your voice steady and cold. ââIâm going to burn the Greens to a crisp. They are about to face the rage of a dragon.ââ

Blood Lust
summary: With his ego inflated after Rookâs Rest, Aemond makes another move against the blacks â taking you.
pairing: Aemond x Niece!Reader
word count: 1.8k+
warnings: Explicit smut, dark!Aemond, incest, oral sex (f recieving), p in v sex, heavy dubcon, loss of virginity, mention of blood, knife play, angst!!! 18+ MDNI
Destiny was a fickle thing but Aemond Targaryen knew three things for certain: he was destined to lose an eye, destined to claim the largest dragon of the known world and destined to be with you.
For as long as Aemond could remember, he wanted you, dreamed of you. The mere thought of you made his cock ache at any moment.
It was not as if Aemond had no other options. There were plenty of Lordâs willing to send their daughters to Kingâs Landing to be married off to a prince.
As lovely as those girls might have been, they all shared the same detrimental flaw: they simply were not you. You were a member of House Targaryen â bastard born or not, the blood of Old Valyria ran deep within your veins. You were a skilled dragon rider, you carried yourself with grace, held a quick wit, spoke your mother tongue. Above all else, you had been there for Aemond when no one else was. You were perfect.
Aemond had no interest in being betrothed to a Baratheon or a Lannister, nor an Arryn or a Stark; even the most beautiful girl the Tyrellâs had to offer would simply never compare. After a denied proposal for a betrothal and you being taken away to Dragonstone Aemond felt powerless â until now.
Your entire body aches as you make out your surroundings. You had been taken in the middle of the night, forced onto dragon back with your hands and feet tied.
âListen to me,â your uncle says as he crouches in front of you, âif you scream the guards will come and youâll be thrown in the dungeons. You have no friends here except me. Do you understand?â
You nod your head in agreement, desperate to be free of the makeshift gag he had made for you.
âAemond, this is treason,â you state plainly.
âTreason, would be betraying the crown, sweet niece,â he responds, âI am the crown.â
âFuck you!â you grumble at him.
âIksos bona skoros ao jaelagon?â Is that what you want?
Against your better judgment, you spit right in his face, observing him nervously as he wipes it away.
âFiesty little thing you are.â
âWhat do you want with me, Aemond? Will you force me to kneel before you? Carve out my eye? Perhaps Iâll suffer the same fate as my brother?â
Ah, Lucerys. He was waiting for you to bring that up.
âWhile Iâm sure that seeing you on your knees is a glorious sight, I have other plans for you.â
âI have no desire to bed you, Aemond. I am betrothed.â
The smirk on his face slightly drops at that. Betrothed.
âAnd where is Lord Stark now?â He questions casually.
âPreparing his army for war.â
âI wonder how it must feel?â he goes on, âto be whored out? Practically sold like a broodmare so that your pretender of a mother can build herself an army?â
âBetter to be his whore than your war prize.â
The mask of cruelty on Aemond's face fades for a moment, and for a second, he almost looks hurt at your words.
âIs that what you think? That youâre merely a âprizeâ? You wound me, dear niece. Do you not remember that I love you?â
Ice fills your veins at his confession and your heart drops into your stomach. Things couldâve been different, they shouldâve been.
âI donât understand why things had to escalate in this way, Aemond,â you say as you start to cry, âyou couldâve ââ you choke back a sob, âyou couldâve had me.â
Aemond takes your chin in his hands as he lets out a laugh.
âI do have you, baby.â
Fear courses through you at his words. Aemond unsheathes a knife from his jacket pocket and holds it to your chest for a brief moment before pulling away.
âHold still,â he demands as he cuts the rope that holds your ankles together.
You wince as Aemond forcefully spreads your legs apart, violently cutting a hole into your undergarments, exposing your cunt to him.
âTell me, has Stark fucked this pretty little pussy yet?â
He knows he hasnât, he knows you and Cregan still have yet to meet. He wants to hear you say it.
âN-no,â you stutter as you continue to cry. Gods, you look so pretty when you cry, Aemond thinks to himself. He only smirks in response.
âYou are still a maiden, right, sweet one? You havenât let little Lord Strong defile you, have you?â
âGods, Aemond. No.â
âHm,â Aemond frowns, âa shame for him, really. Now heâll never have the chance being that you will never see him again.â
âTheyâll come for you,â you tell him.
âIf they wish to keep me away from you and your perfect cunt theyâll have to kill you,â he muses, âBut even thenâŠâ
A darkness takes over your uncles face and you soon realize the Aemond you once knew is gone. You are dealing with a whole new monster. He is an animal, a beast â and you are merely prey.
âDo you touch yourself?â he asks, pulling you from your thoughts.
âS-sometimes,â you whisper, feeling ashamed, but finding it difficult to lie to him.
âWhat do you think about when you do?â
âNot you,â you retort.
He runs two fingers through your soft folds, causing you to gasp, before bringing his fingers up to the light.
âLiar,â he states as his fingers glisten, coated in your slick. âYou know you donât have to lie to me, baby. I think about you, tooâŠâ
You canât help but notice the evident bulge in your uncle's pants, his cock strains against the delicate fabric. You can tell how big he is. You try your best to divert your gaze elsewhere.
âNow, Iâm going to untie your wrists. Might I remind you of what I said earlier: You are far better off in here, with me, than out there,â he says, pointing to the door with his dagger.
Youâre not sure if you believe him. At this point, you might prefer to be thrown in the dungeon with the rats, left to starve. Instead of arguing, you simply nod your head as Aemond cuts you free.
You feel wobbly as you stand on your feet, Aemond holds your hands as you gain your composure. Your ankles and wrists feel sore, but Aemond rubs his thumb against your wrist soothingly.
Your heart is practically beating out of your chest as that familiar ache between your legs begins to grow. You know you shouldn't be aroused by this behavior, but your body is betraying you.
Aemond picks you up swiftly and places you onto his bed. There was a time where you dreamed of this. If only your younger self could see you now.
Your thoughts are interrupted once again as Aemondâs large hand wraps around your throat. He squeezes lightly, trying to keep you in your place. You make a feeble attempt to push him away, but he is too strong and you canât break free.
âPlease, donât be afraid of me,â he pleads, âI need you,â the timbre of his voice is so low that you arenât sure if he meant for you to hear. His free hand moves to your breast, massaging it roughly through your chemise.
"You are so beautiful," he says, leaning over you. You feel him press himself against you, his cock rubbing against your leg, pre-cum leaks out of the tip and smears onto your thigh.
He pushes back and nestles himself comfortably between your thighs. His dexterous fingers part your folds ever so gently, exposing you to him completely.
âGods, youâre perfect. The most perfect girl in the entire realm,â he groans before his face is buried between your thighs. His plump lips suck at your clit as he prods at it with his tongue before moving up and down your slit. You feel yourself getting wetter, arousal leaks from your core and Aemond laps it up eagerly. On instinct, you spread your legs even further apart, your body betraying you once again.
Aemond licks harder, and you feel the soft muscle of his tongue slip inside you. A loud moan erupts from your chest as a tight knot forms in the pit of your stomach. Your hand shoots down to to tug at Aemondâs silver tresses.
Youâre so close, youâve never been touched like this before and one final glide of his tongue pushes you over the edge. You cry out loudly as you cum, your vision going blurry as your cunt contracts around him.
Aemond pulls himself from your core and stands up, grabbing your hips. He harshly pulls you to the edge of the bed and you feel his cock pressing against you. You eagerly push towards him this time. There is no point in fighting him. You gasp as he enters you fully, filling you completely. The stretch is overwhelming, a tight burning sensation. The fullness begins to feel good as your silky walls flutter around him.
âJust relax,â he coos, âI know you want me.â
You feel his cock twitch inside you slightly as he groans, leaning down to bite your shoulder.
âFuuuck,â he drawls, âyouâre so tight and wet, baby, so perfect; just like I dreamed you would be.â
Your cheeks bloom crimson at his praise and you wrap your arms around his neck, holding him tightly as he fucks into you. The sharp pain soon fades into pleasure. The fat tip of his cock relentlessly bullies that sweet spot inside you that you were never able to reach on your own.
Aemond reaches up to paw at your breast, pinching at your nipple roughly, and a wave of pleasure crashes over you. Your spine tingles and your toes curl, causing you to moan in response.
"You think Stark could fuck you like this? Make you feel the way I do? That anyone could?" He rasps as his thrusts become relentless. He slaps your face when you fail to give him an answer. A shameful whimper escapes you.
"Answer. Me." he demands between thrusts, his teeth gritted together, his thumb swiping over the rosy, delicate flesh where he hit you.
âN-no, Aemond! Only you, just you! I'm sorry!â you all but choke out to him.
âThatâs right, my sweet. You were fuckinâ made for me,â he grunts before pausing his thrusts, his hips stuttering before he pulls his cock out of you almost entirely. Making note of the blood that coats his shaft, hoping you donât notice.
âYou know it, I know it, your mother knows it,â he grits out, âyouâre mine.â
âYes, Aemond, Iâm â fuck! Iâm yours,â you mewl.
âDo you love me?" he asks, your mind is hazy, and stars blur your vision as he continues to drill into you. Even while he is taking control, his insecurity still has a way of shining through his cruel demeanor.
You loved him once, long ago. Maybe you could love him again? You know the answer he is looking for is not âmaybe.â
"Kessa, Avy jorrÄelan." Yes, I love you.
Aemond grins at this, impressed with your knowledge of your shared mother tongue.
He slams his cock into you full force, stilling as he presses hard against your cervix, making you cry out again. His hand tangles in your hair as he places his forehead against yours.
âIâm not gonna last much longer,â he tells you.
You grip at his hips, pulling him into you.
âC-cum inside me,â you moan through bated breaths, âclaim me as your own, once and for all.â
âYouâve always been mine,â he says as he complies, pushing into you deeply as he shoots his hot cum inside of you, warmth blooming in your chest as he does so; before collapsing on top of you.
âWhat happens now?â you ask, as he gently pulls himself out of your heat, allowing his seed to seep onto the bed sheets.
âThis is just the beginning.â

MÄzigon arlÄ« naejot issa.
(Come back to me)
jacaerys velaryon x betrothed!reader
warnings; talk of injuries and blood, canon divergence, angst ending with comfort summary; reader was sent to rookâs rest and when she returns injured, jace nearly looses his mind a/n; reader is targaryen and in my head she is maybe rhaenyraâs cousin but i didnât feel like fleshing out a whole family for her so you can use your imagination.Â
Jacaerys has been going mad. The Lady Y/N has been gone for hours, and every second more that the Prince was ignorant of her fate was a second closer to him flying off in search of her. Sheâd volunteered to fly to Rookâs Rest and face Coleâs army herself. Her dragon, Silverwing, is the largest dragon with a rider second only to Vhagar, but sheâs been gone too long for the princeâs liking. Heâd begged her not to go, begged his mother to send him instead, and neither had listened. He couldnât deny the logic of the choice, but the longer she stayed at battle, the more images of her broken and bloody flooded her betrothedâs mind.Â
The Prince and the Queen stand on the balcony off his chambers. Queen Rhaenyra has tried calming her son, but to no avail. The sun nears the horizon, setting the sky on fire in shades of gold and red, but Jacaerys only watches for signs of his betrothed.Â
âIâm going after her,â Jacaerys blurts out, unable to contain himself any longer, pushing off the stone half wall.Â
âNo,â the queen says firmly, moving to block her sonâs path. Ever since the death of Prince Lucerys, the queen has kept her eldest son close, refusing to send him out on dragon back.Â
âShe should have been back by now! I will not just sit here and await news of her fate,â the prince argues, his voice strained and fraught. The Queenâs heart aches at the panic in her sonâs eyes.Â
âY/N is a fierce dragon rider. I am confident she will return soon,â she says placatingly, reaching up to cup his cheek, but Jacaerys pushes her away.Â
âNo, I canât just sit here. Sheâs to be my wife; Iâm meant to protect her, not sit safely by in a castle while she risks her life protecting my birthright!â The prince exclaims and pushes through the doors to his chambers, but a dragonâs shriek stops him in his path. He whips around, his eyes scanning the skies for the sight of his betrothed. And then he sees her.Â
Jacaerys sprints through the halls of Dragonstone, his steps echoing against the stone as he makes his way out of the castle. He should feel relieved, but the prince cannot shake the fear clutching at his heart.Â
As Jacaeryrs reaches the mouth of the Dragonmount, all his fears come to the forefront. Y/N isnât in the saddle; instead, sheâs clutched in the silver claws of her dragon, her arm hanging limply down. Silverwing sets her down gently before landing herself, and Jacaerys swears he can see the sadness in her massive silver eyes. âNo, no, no,â Jacaerys mutters, dropping to his knees next to her body, tears blurring his vision as he pulls her body to him. Her clothes are covered in blood and singed, an arrow lodged in her shoulder, and a gash on her side. Her silver hair is dark with ash and crimson, but breath still moves through her lips shallowly, a small beacon of hope. Without any thought but her care, he scoops her into his arms, cradling the body of his betrothed to his chest and running as fast as he can back to the castle.Â
âCall the master!â He bellows to the first guard he sees, his voice fraught and cracking, the princely tone he maintains forgotten in his panic. âHold on, my love.â
As he pushes his way through the doors of the castle, the Grand Maester and the queen, followed by Ser Lorrent, rush towards the pair. âHelp her!â The prince shrieks at the maester, all manners forgotten, and his expression is wild with fear. Used to such behavior, Grand Maester Gerardys simply nods and inspects the body in the princeâs arms.Â
âWeâll take her to her chambers. Iâll meet you there,â he says and turns, hurrying off to gather supplies. Ser Lorrent steps forward, his arms outstretched, to take the girl from the prince, but Jacaerys pushes past him, following after the maester up to the stairs and hurries to her apartments.Â
As they reach her chambers, the prince lays her down gently on her bed, not caring for the state of her bedclothes. He stays close to her side as the maester gathers his things, watching her closely to make sure she stays breathing. Soon, Geradys comes to her side. âExcuse me, my prince,â he says softly to the young prince, but he doesnât seem to hear. Rhaenyra steps forward, her hand wrapping around her sonâs shoulder.Â
âDarling, let the Grand Maester work,â she says softly, pulling Jacaerys back a few steps. Rhaenyra tries to coax him away to wash and change, as he is now covered in his betrothedâs blood, but he refuses.Â
âNo, I wonât leave her,â he says, pulling against his mother.Â
âWe wonât; just give him space, my darling,â she coos, pulling him to her and wrapping her arms around her darling son, whose body is shaking. He relents to his motherâs pull, allowing him to be held like a child as he watches the maester struggle to keep the love of his life in the world of the living.Â
Nearly an hour later, the maester turns to the prince and queen, blood staining his front and hands and his eyes weary. âIâve done all I can, your Grace, my Prince. It is up to her spirit and the gods now. But she is a fighter, if ever there was one,â the Geradys says, his eyes soft for the Prince of Dragonstone. The Queen thanks him, but Jacaerys isnât listening, moving forward numbly. He kneels next to the bed, his shaking hands reaching for hers, the ash and blood washed clean by the maester. He presses a gentle kiss on her skin, gripping her hand tightly between his own.Â
âY/N, my love,â the Crown Prince whispers, reaching up to brush a strand of silver hair from her brow. âYou have to fight. Please, you canât... I canât lose you as well, please. Kostilus, mÄzigon arlÄ« naejot issa. Ko-Kostilus,â he begs, his throat closed tightly as tears slip down his cheeks. Please, come back to me.Â
***
Itâs a full day before Y/N wakes, and Jacaerys has refused to leave her side. Late afternoon light shines into the room, beams of light cutting the air and washing it in an amber glow. Amethyst eyes flutter open, blinking in the brightness of the room.Â
âJace?â She mutters; her voice is rough and her throat is burning.Â
âY/N!â Jace gasps, jumping up from his seat in the center of the room to kneel at her side, gingerly taking her hand in his. âYouâre awake!â he laughs in relief, his vision blurring with tears of joy. He drinks her in, her weary smile, and the lilac swirls in her eyes he thought heâd never see again.Â
âHow long-?â She begins groggily, attempting to sit up by the wound in her abdomen, causing her to grimace. Jacaerys gently pushes her back down to the pillows.
âDonât move, my love. Silverwing brought you back one evening past. You were,â the prince swallows, his throat constricting at the memory, âbadly wounded. Gods, I feared youâd not wake.â He reaches for her, his calloused hand cradling her head.Â
âIâm afraid youâre stuck with me, my prince,â she smiles. Even wounded and weak, her humor remains. Jacaerys laughs through his tears, moving to sit on the bed and covering her face in kisses, making her giggle until it causes too much pain in her stomach.Â
âWhat happened?â Jace asks, sitting back and holding her hand tightly.Â
âAemond was there, and Aegon. It was a trap,â she sighs, grimacing. âWe were engaged with Sunfyre when Vhagar appeared... I had to fly close to the ground to get out from between the pair, and their archers took advantage.âÂ
âGods, I will kill both of them for laying a hand on you,â the prince says, his voice crackling with anger.
âIâm alright, Jace,â she coos, reaching up to cradle his beautiful face in her hands. His anger subsides at her touch, her gentleness soothing the fires raging inside him.Â
âYouâre wounded; you nearly died. If youâd arrived minutes later, you would have been passed by the time you returned to me. My love, Icouldnât bear it if you-â
âJace-â
âPromise me. Please just promise me youâll be more careful,â the prince implores, his amber eyes fierce and wide.Â
âI promise, Jace. I do, and I will,â she says earnestly, their eyes locked for a long moment. âCome here,â she whispers, pulling on his hands to bring him closer. âLay with me?âÂ
âI donât want to hurt you.âÂ
âYou could never. Please?â Y/Nâs eyes plead with the prince, and he forgets any notion of courtly manners or what is proper for two betrotheds as he comes to lay in her bed. Careful of her injuries, he wraps his arms around her, pulling her frame into his, and she rests her head against his chest, sighing in relief at returning home to him. There they lay, the future king and queen of the Seven Kingdoms, basking in each otherâs warmth and thanking the gods for another day of safety in this war.

Rook's backgrounds make no sense or gatekeeping is good, actually
It's didn't sit well with me ever since bioware admitted that all 6 background for Rook can be played by any race you choose
Looking back at Origins it's clear why most of the backgrounds were race-specific. Not only it provided a better understanding of the separate cultures (you wouldn't really understand what dwarfs are about if you were able to play as a surface dwarf commoner) it also established the rules of the world (elves are opressed, you can't become a queen/king cuz the nobles will riot, humans colonize them and inforce their religion and rules on everyone, dwarfs are considered weird)
Now, looking at the veilguard, I can't help but ask:
How can a fully grown dalish with vallaslin be a crow? They buy slaves as a way to get more assassins, usually elves, children, so they could easier ruin their psyche. why the hell would a dalish stand for it?
How can a qunari be a Gray Warden? Wardens don't discriminate, sure, but this far, we haven't even heard of a qunari warden. Rook should be a legend, Rook should be questioned at actually being a warden by NPCs, OR sit in some Warden outpost and being studied by their mages, because no one actually knows how Blight and joining might work with Kossith body instead of running around with Varric.
Veiljumpers were organized by dalish, right? Then why in the world would a human be allowed to join? How and why did they change their minds to accept literally anyone, even if it's a potential threat/thief(Morrigan)/zealot/etc..?
How can a dwarf, someone who isn't even connected to the fade be a Veiljumper?
How can a dwarf be a part of the Mourn Watch? A Mortalitasi, an exclusively MAGE order? What can they even do?? Preform a non magical mummifications with herbs and salts like Egyptians did? Sweep the mausoleum? Be some sort of a funeral organizer/lawyer/genealogist? That could've been really interesting if only the game actually bothered to say anything about it. It did not
"Well it's up to your headcanons!" then why make the backgrounds in the first place??? They don't matter anyway!
I mean, obviously it was just a way to promote the game to older fans. Look, the backstories! The thing you've been craving for is back in game! Only they forgot what actually made them so great. The most important part. They mattered, they created a basis for my character. They gave them families, connections. They changed the way my character is perceived (elves in general) and what they can do plotwise (become a monarch/paragon).
I don't fucking care if 3-5 NPCs might have some additional dialogues for me, cuz they don't matter anyway. I don't even know these people, i never met them before, my character did, but I didn't. And now I don't care enough to know. like, i'm playing as a mourn watcher, but before going to Nevarra i barely knew anything about them, and what i know now is still rather surface level shit
Let alone the fact that all the backgrounds are practically the same. You pissed off some influencial people by doing good and was send away. Bravo.
........if this post gets one like I'm writing my own ideas for DA4 protagonist's backgrounds
