[callmeonmyki]

Coming out of my retirement to draw chiss demon baby bcs i have swtor brain worms

Unnecessary detail:

Shor'alani*, Shora, Ash'or'alani, my IA as bby w sibs/cousins otw to imperial space to be little sleeper agents for the ascendancy

(*swtor name, w smol bby Asur'alani*, SI (or Ash'ur'alani) and Io'alani*, SW (Or Ash'io'alani)) (((or maybe Yash'or'alani idk i havent made up the name yet))) backstory is maybs they were part of a great House but got too weird or smthng so they got Ascend'd and their most promising kids sent off to be sleeper agents idk. There's another one, JC Dev'alani* that in this case would be Ash'ev'alani but i both forgot about her lol and the name is weird, chalk that up to misunderstandings trying to get a kid to repub space.

Google searching "child holding baby" and such for instant stock photo ref to copy almost exactly by eye for no reason, yep

I remember when there was very little content for will and el as siblings and their small interactions in s2-3 were so exciting and it’s so funny to me today how the concept of willel sibs is so popular and like just seeing your url on my dash makes me think people are probably jealous and wish they had it! Just a very funny concept to see how much it’s grown since the early seasons. keep being a warrior for this relationship I truly appreciate how you’ve always advocated for actual separate characters and familial relationships rather than these insane ship wars now. just wanna say I have always admired your presence in the st fandom you’ve always kept it real 👍

I remember those times too. Yeah, it was so irrelevant and unpopular that I, the one who is late to everything, managed to snag this url and post my headcanons and theories about these two becoming siblings.

Back then it WAS just a theory and headcanon. One that a lot of people thought was ridiculous. (Apparently there are still people who think it's ridiculous even though they're canon siblings.........)

The willel tag was EMPTY AND NON EXISTENT. It's still a smol bby tag since you can't see how many people are following it.

The was probably a handful of art of willel. Literally people there was NOTHING. Either I was making poopy doodles or commissioning something or like 3 other people drawing them once or twice.

There were less than 100 fics about just them being siblings. It has improved but there still aren't a ton yet.

You wanna know the worst thing? THERE USED TO BE PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THAT "WILEVEN" WAS A VALID ROMANTIC SHIP AND THAT WILL WAS JEALOUS BECAUSE HE WAS IN LOVE WITH EL

🤮

I'm general, I don't care that much about other people's headcanons and theories but that one has bothered me for years. That's why I chose this username willel and was determined to make it the platonic tag separate from the people who believed it to be romantic.

Many things have changed. People have seen the light. So many of my predictions about them came true even though I wanted the show to give us so much more.

They're so adorable and heartfelt. Their connection makes my brain go crazy with theories and how it fits into the overall plot.

I can only hope we have so much more in store. And I hope the general audience starts to care about willel more too. I'm a greedy son of a church AND I NEED MORE FANART. MORE FANFICTION.

But.... Then again, maybe it's better if it stays in this slightly niche part of the fandom..... Popularity will quickly make something you love very weird ....

Good luck with your Camp NaNoWriMo! Permit me to drop in a FFXV thought, though? I just - I was thinking of the various Nox-verses and the permutations thereof, and then - (dum dum DUM) - my mind revealed unto me a Thought. A thought of a little Nox 'taur 'verse, where Ardyn is caring for *her* very young dragon-taur of a nibling. (*snicker*).

Thank you! Yes, you may drop and FFXV thought, since I am drowning in them anyway.

....

.......

.........!!!!!!

*screeches softly* That would be so CUTE. SO FREAKING CUUUUUUTTTEEE.

They still totally think bby Nox is a clone that Ardyn rescued, and Regis is so Distressed™ to find a bby LC with near all blue scales (what did they do to the hatchling, what did they DO TO HIS SON-).

Also Just- tiny Nox having troubles navigating because not only is he in a Smol Body now but its a Smol Taur body. So his motor control for walking and stuff is below what it should be and that worries Regis and Aulea (who insta-adopts Nox kthanks) to no end (what did they do to the bby to make him so bad at walking? Was he not allowed? They’re picturing tiny cramped cages and test tubes and lab rat environments and Regis now has the urge to MuRdEr™).

Ardyn is 100% more mothering in this AU. Like- she has no idea HOW to mom, but she is trying her hardest man.

Still found by Cor rather than Cid, still has the nearby Galahdians on her side because she and bby Nox are Arra’s kthanks and anyone who touches their dragons with ill intent will Die™.

Noctis is So Freaking Stoked to have a bby sib. His baby sibling! He can give baby sibling rides!

Titus is still the Tired Dad™ that all the Glaive thought was married with a kiddo because of how often he gets phone calls from someone asking Childcare Questions. He has a photo of bby Nox on his desk but only from the waist up to keep his taur half secret.

Everyone picture a Taur stack of Titus on the bottom walking around doing his job, Loaf Ardyn on top sleeping on his back, and teeny bby Nox curled in a little ball on HER back, snoozing the day away.

Alternatively, everyone picture Giant Moose Titus™ with a little, happy Nox toddler harnessed to his back (harnessed because otherwise bby would fall off trying to look at everything and maybe practice gliding off Titus’s back at inopportune moments.

Bby Taur Nox is somehow even cuter than his human counterpart. Probably because it takes him a while to not trip over his own paws/wings and end up in a rolly poly ball of confused, dizzy hatchling at someone’s paws.

it’s 11:01 pm and i’m bORED let’s talk about my ocs so you can love them too!

context: it’s a fantasy adventure featuring a band of adventurers goin’ places, savin’ the world, fallin’ love, ya know. the works. no one in the world is white, btw, and no one in the main cast is straight, cis, or able-bodied/neurotypical. bc i can.

kelmaris: you mean MY SON. kel is a trans adventurer who fell in love started travelling with shan. he is gay and smol and i love him. also he’s the eldest of the triplets (lenna and mardi are his sibs) and has a telepathic connection with the two that was brought about by the gods. he has ptsd, dysphoria, and a prosthetic left arm that he uses to cast magic. for a d&d/pathfinder equivalent: half elf paladin.

lenna: kel’s younger sib. they are agender, ace, and aro. they formerly identified as a trans woman, but due to trauma they then identified more agender instead. they are a cinnamon roll and super pretty. they also have the telepathic connection thing. she also has ptsd and is disabled from the neck down, but uses a magical necklace to move around (though it’s incredibly tiring and makes her sick if she uses it too often). d&d equivalent: half-elf bard.

mardi: A MESS BUT I LOVE HIM. he is genderfluid and pan and basically loki if loki were a romani half-elf bard/rogue guy (but also like. the thor ragarok version of loki.) he is in love with ai but he doesn’t realize it was her bc he was drunk and has memory issues. he is the youngest of the triplets. for a clue to his personality: he is the half-elf incarnation of the “i lyk the bred” meme. he has a prosthetic leg and adhd. d&d equivalent: half-elf bard/rogue, esp one who seduces everything.

shan: ALSO MY SON. he a demiboy. he is blind, but in his culture blind people are huge religious figures treated with the utmost respect, and he was adopted by the king (who is gay and needs an heir so win-win). he usually travels with a Companion but his old companion died so he literally fasted and sat on the road for a week until kel found him and he became his new companion. also he has robes that are used as a diary which i think is p cool. d&d equivalent: human monk.

eino: precious bby. they are a tiny fae looking for their sib who travels with kel and shan. they were adopted by the two, more or less, and they are ridiculously adorable. they are autistic & enby bc their race doesn’t believe in gender as a construct, and basically everyone is nonbinary. d&d equivalent: fairy witch (but like a lil fairy witch)

ayla: precious bby’s big sib. travelling with lenna. i love them. they’re a lesbian and they fall in love with their deity of family and home and it’s adorable. they’re also nonbinary & autistic, but they also have ocd and depression. they really need love and cuddles guys. (thankfully, lenna is a cuddling MACHINE). d&d equivalent: fairy witch (but a full grown one this time).

ai: MY GIRL. ai is also travelling with lenna and she is pregnant. (it’s mardi’s kid, though neither them realize it until later) she is super excited about being a mom but she’s also like. really nervous. ya know? also she’s pyrogender! (for y’all who don’t know, it’s where your gender is normally at a neutral state, with some flares of intensity that returns to rest. i first heard of it on here and i love it so much. i think it’s cool guys.) she’s also got a walking stick she uses as a cane due to mobility issues, and ayla (who is a tol bean and strong) sometimes carries her. which is cute. d&d equivalent: elven alchemist.

mako: mako is gay. super gay. for his husband. who is also gay. i love him. he is a friend of mardi’s (by friend i really mean tether to sanity, but potato-potato, ya know) and ai’s older brother. also he has ptsd and a prosthetic right arm (he and kel become gay prosthetic buddies). btoh he and his husband djimon are genderqueer. d&d equivalent: elven gunslinger.

djimon: djimon is also gay. for his husband. i love them. so much. djimon is a dwarf and is missing one eye. he and mako are basically the super badass couple of the group. he and lenna (the two aces of the squad) drink together and laugh at the others being all in love and shit. sometimes mako joins in to laugh at their messy family and give djimon lil smooches. d&d equivalent: dwarven sorcerer.

if ya want backstory or elaboration, shoot my an ask. i will talk about this world and these babies all. night. long.

yo whaddup so i know there is like hardly anyone on right now but imma throw out an intro post anyway. this is my smol turtle mickey. if you would like to plot feel free to im me.

bby boi was born as michelangelo sætre (only his birth mother ever calls him by his actual first name, everyone else has to call him mickey or mick) & lived in norway for the first year of his life to a single norwegian mother.

grew up in poor circumstances because his mother was sixteen when she gave birth to mickey and her family refused to help her.

the state helped the little family out but the money was nowhere near enough to live a happy life and due to this he lived off of clothes from local salvation armys and garage sales.

joni and mickey were the best of friends growing up that would always stick by each others side, share secrets, had cute little sleep overs, and lived next door from each other since they were two.

when he was five his mother got really ill and was about to die, and since she didn’t have close relatives to take custody, she asked joni’s parents to adopt him so her baby didn’t end up in the foster care system.

after that, the married couple changed his last name to gillenkerk and while he was a little confused about it all at the time he didn’t mind much cuz this was what his mom wanted.

it took some time to let this all settle in but he eventually began to consider them his family and continued to remember his birth mother through home movies and her old journals.

sometimes his foster sibs will call him turtle due to the similar interests between him and the ninja turtle michelangelo.

he loves pizza, video games, comic books, skateboarding and knows how to use a pair of nunchakus.

while he possesses above average intelligence and excellent mechanical skills, he deliberately wastes all his time causing trouble with other rubber room kids. he uses his intelligence to make money for his family, such as taking the SATs for other students or tactically avoiding the cops when selling beer and marijuana from an ice cream truck during the summer.

the whole question about his sexuality thing makes him uncomfortable – he is so afraid of losing the family he has left if he comes out of the closet, and the fact that his foster father doesn’t condone it.

I regret /nothing/. Troll or not, Lady Ardyn is Adorable... Actually. She might not be able to raise cubs alongside Aera's... But Nox? By then, she might want a few of her own. Probably friends of sorts with Nyx by then, too.

hgfdfgh Awwwwwwwww. I like this thought. I like it a lot. Ardyn would be so TERRIFIED at first to realize she’s pregnant, because of her prior history as, you know, the ACCURSED but Cor calms her down and everyone calms her down and Titus is THE MOST overprotective Shield Ever who fusses incessantly and helps make sure nothing happens to the baby and Regis- Regis and Aulea are over the moon. Not just a grandparents but an UNCLE AND AUNT TOO??? Clarus is happy for them, but also a Dread because first they got news Nyx was having a litter of four, but now ARDYN is having a baby? (Not sure if I want to give Ardyn twins or not, no more than two tho, because Dragons don’t tend to have litters, or whatever the usual lizard equivalent is). There will be a bby with LC magic and WINGS and COR’S GENETICS???? Astrals save them.

Actually this is probably POST Nyx and Nox having their quads, because I think Ardyn is ... more cautious, takes things slower. Perhaps not by much, no more than a year or two, but still.

Also every picturing Cor holding his (or one of? Still debating on the twin thing) bby and just- he is an Awe. Bby is so small. So SMOL. All tiny limbs and tiniest puff of downy hair and teeny, glittery scales at are still soft and flexible rather than Regis’s or Noctis’s or Nox’s hard, protective ones. This ... he helped create this? This is ... his bby?

His bby. hIS. HIS BBY. One blink of squinty blue eyes and Cor is GONE.

Prompto is at the bedside purring up a storm because LOOK. BBY SIB. HI BBY SIB.

(and on the note of bbys, imagine how much more wild and overprotective the glaive are in this. Not just the litter of one of the last two Ulrics (Selena is losing her mind she gets to be an AUNT) but also- these are the bbys of Nox. THEIR prince. Not just the Crown Prince like Noctis or even the King but THEIR PRINCE. Who claimed them as Hoard and forces all Insomnia to acknowledge their worth. Anyone who so much as LOOKS at Nyx wrong during those months of pregnancy is gonna be shanked in a corner I swear.)

(also on the Glaives picture a year or two later they get word Ardyn is pregnant and- CAPTAIN’S QUEEN IS HAVING BABY. ALL OVERPROTECTIVE GLAIVES LINE UP THIS IS NO DRILL).

A gift thing for @sparklecryptid since thine computer hath died. Been meaning to do this for a while actually, but finally got it down. I call it: In Which Ace meets Tiny Child Nyx, Libertus Is Having a Crisis, and Why Is Cor Wearing Makeup That Looks Like The Scourge.

...

     Ace should have known his day was about to go weird. It was just- one of those days. Where everything felt strange and the clouds overhead had just a little too much power in their rumble to not have Ramuh lurking somewhere inside them.

     Still, it was a nice, if cloudy day outside and he’d had plans to hang out with Nyx and Lib and Selena today for a month now. He wasn’t going to let a bit of uneasy feelings stop him.

     He should really, REALLY know better than to tempt fate like that by now.

     They were all talking as they walked down the street when there was a- blip. Or glitch. A moment where Insomnia shivered around them and Ace’s magic JERKED like there was a hook in his navel, trying to yank him sideways. It stopped almost as soon as it started, but from Nyx’s and Lib’s cursing, he wasn’t the only one. A moment later Nyx was spinning in place in alarm and Ace felt his stomach drop in cold fear and anger when they realized Selena WASN’T THERE ANYMORE.

     They started to search frantically, so caught up in looking that they didn’t notice that Insomnia itself was different for at least fifteen minutes. Not until Ace tried to take a shortcut he’d been using for ages and found a dead end instead. The surprise made him stop short, and once he stopped he became aware of Insomnia’s magic. It felt different. It felt foreign. He could feel it rippling and twitching, poking and prodding at him in a way it hadn’t since the day he first set foot in its walls.

     What was going on?

     Ace emerged from the alley again, looked around with new eyes and realized that all of Insomnia was … a little bit different. A little tweaked. It was enough to creep him out and make his skin crawl as he grabbed Nyx by the elbow and pointed it out to him. Nyx made a face, and Lib growled low in his throat, “So what in the world is going on? Insomnia couldn’t have just changed. Cities don’t do that!”

     “And yet,” Ace drawled despite himself, “here we are, and it’s not like there’s two Insomnias around here.”

     Nyx huffed a laugh, “Yeah, that would be something a little too much like an episode of that bad sci-fi show Selena likes to watch. With doubles of us running around or something-.”

     Magic flared, spiraled out and twisted like a firework on Ace’s senses, loud and emotive in a way Ace had never felt magic be before as something warped out of nowhere to tackle Libertus, “Lib!”

     Nyx reached for his kukri and Libertus flailed as if to grab the thing that had just smacked into him and throw it. Ace did neither only because his magic senses were screeching with the realization his brain was still trying to process as Libertus and Nyx both got a good look at the limpet around Libertus’s neck and … froze.

     Flyaway velvet black hair in ratty Ulric braids and big, big blue eyes and a smile that was two parts mischief and one part pure joy, the little boy that looked like he’d come straight out of Nyx’s baby pictures leaned back enough to look at Libertus’s face and gush, “Found you! You’re big! How’d you get so big, Lib?”

     Libertus gaped. Opened his mouth, closed it, instinctively raised his arms to support the boy hanging off his neck and rasped, “…Nyx?”

     The little boy’s grin grew bigger, “Yeah. Who else would I be?”

     Nyx- Ace’s Nyx- made a strangled, garbled sound in the back of his throat that Ace agreed with wholeheartedly. Because this kid looked just like Nyx at that age, and he knew Libertus, but he also had magic clear as day on Ace’s senses (it felt like the bright flare-snap of fireworks and the gurgling rush of jungle waterfalls and the tang of ozone, unique and different from Regis’s magic, or Ace’s).

     Another magic, this one tasting decidedly of Regis’s but with more ozone in it, flared in anger-worry-annoyance and all three Galahdians turned to face the person stomping his way down the sidewalk, pushing anyone too slow to move out of his way with one arm while the other supported the child on his hip, “Nyx Ulric get back here you little scrap rat so freaking help me-!”

     Child!Nyx just laughed and waved cheerfully at the approaching teenager, “Cor’l! Cor’l look! I found a big Lib!”

     The teenager came to a stop in front of them and Ace had a heart attack twice over because one: that was a teenage Cor Leonis glaring at them in confusion and two: his face. It took a moment of horrified staring to realize it was makeup, because it was an almost perfect replica of Ardyn’s face when the Scourge was on full display and it was terrifying.

     Then he had a third one because the child perched on Cor Leonis’s hip was Libertus. A tiny Libertus who couldn’t have been more than six or seven, and now that he was looking was that … was that a baby sling over Leonis’s shoulders?

     Movement stirred over Leonis’s back and Ace managed a strangled noise at the sight of a little Selena, no more than two years old surely, peaking over Leonis’s shoulder in curiosity.

     The teenaged Immortal in Scourge makeup stared at them. They stared back. Then he sighed and held out his free hand, “Nyx. Nyx come here.”

     “No.”

     A dark scowl made terrifying by the makeup, “Nyx Ulric Lucis Caelum,” he growled, “Come here. That is not Libertus. You should know better than to warp to strangers.”

     Little Nyx just clung tighter to Libertus’s neck, ignoring the vaguely hysterical look on Libertus’s face as he pouted, “No. Big Lib. Mine now.”

     Little Libertus sighed, looking far too put upon for a small child, “Nyx, no.”

     “Nyx, yes.”

     Cor Leonis’s eye twitched, then he took a deep breath and eyed them skeptically, “You’re really Libertus Ostium and Nyx Ulric?”

     Two very numb nods and Cor sighed, “I thought the city was acting up this morning. Come on, Aulea will probably have an explanation for this and I won’t be able to pry Nyx off with a crowbar at this point.”

     Ace opened his mouth, “You’re just- gonna accept this? Adult doubles of two kids and a stranger and you’re fine with it?”

     “You’re Galahdians, aren’t you? You’re Clan. Besides this isn’t the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Now come on.”

     With nothing really better to do in the wake of the child version of Nyx happily perched in Libertus’s arms, they did.

     Ace had a feeling today was going to be a Headache.

(Swapping to HC format for convenience):

-Cor’s Coeurl shows up halfway to the Citadel with Ace’s Selena in tow. No one is sure why they got separated, but she’s here now, and is frankly the only person of Ace’s group handling the situation calmly (sorta. But instead of panic she’s more hyper fixated on BABY NYX. SO CUTE. SHE GETS TO BE THE BIG SIB FOR ONCE YES.)

-Regis knows in an instant who Ace is, Ace wants to know why Regis has a more mild version of Scourge makeup on.

-Also why does he have both an Ulric braid and a marriage braid. Regis isn’t Galahdian  w h a t.

-Who is the red-haired Galahdian at Regis’s side, watching them with sharp eyes and also Scourge makeup and ANOTHER COEURL. WHAT.

-What do you mean you’re Vitae, what’s that. What do you mean you were adopted by Galahd. What do you mean GALAHD IS STILL STANDING. W H A T.

-ALSO WHY DO BOTH BBY NYX AND BBY LIB AND BBY SELENA ALL HAVE UNIQUE MAGIC SIGNATURES. WHY CAN BBY NYX WARP. SOMEONE PLS EXPLAIN. AND BRING ALCOHOL. ACE NEEDS A DRINK VERY BADLY PLS.

-Group ends up going to Galahd, which is an angst trip and a half and also a total SHOCK because WALL. MAGIC WALL THAT ISN’T THE INSOMNIAN ONE. TONS OF GALAHDIANS.

-Galahd reaches out her magic to the group the moment they enter this second Wall and Ace almost CRIES at the feel of it. Of a Galahd that is not only unburned but breathing with magic, generations upon generations of magic that have turned the isles to something semi-sentient in their own right.

-Ace does cry when they get to the Sage’s home and its Ardyn, dressed in native Galahd garb, with a cluster of smol magical children around him telling stories.

-Ardyn doesn’t hesitate to sweep this strange Galahdian boy from another dimension into his arms in comfort, his magic reaching out fearlessly to tangle with Nyx’s and Libertus’s as well.

-They figure out how to send them back in like- two days but don’t actually send them back for like- a week because Displaced Galahdians from An Angsty Universe. Must Mother. Must Comfort. Must Cuddle.

-Nyx and Lib spend 90% of the visit with the younger counterpart of their best friend clinging like a monkey to their back because BIG FRIEND. HI BIG SIB FRIEND. Also Nyx just about cries over the cuteness of having a Tiny!Lib trying vainly to Mom Him into being Safe and Reasonable. Lib could bang his head against the wall trying to keep up with a hyper Warptastic child Nyx (he’s never going to complain about the Warptastic adult version again- Warptastic Kiddo Nyx is SO MUCH WORSE-.)

-Ace gets universally Mommed by every Galahdian he meets. He has an entire PACK of Ostium plus Regis following him around in concern. It would drive Ace crazy except they are all projecting love-concern-ours-ours through their magic and its hard to get mad when someone cares that much about you.

-Selena meets Cor’s Bellum wife Adrastia. It’s a match made in Chaos. They get along far too well for comfort. Many things are set on fire. Adrastia offers to share her magic, Ace manages to shut that idea down only because they have to go back to their world eventually and Selena might not cope well with having the magic taken away from her during the return trip.

-All of Galahd plus Regis and Co universally plan to murder some Nifs for the story Ace and the others tell. Of a Galahd that burned. Of a Galahd with no Vitae, no Sage, no protection when Mors pulled back the Wall.

-Nyx gets to meet Callida. Callida is Bursting With Mom Pride and totally teaches him new warp techniques.

-Ace realizes that Cor is universally called “Cor’l” (Coeurl) by Galahd and that it’s not an accent thing and almost dies of hysterical laughter.
