Ohoho Sunday thoughts you say? >:D this is loosely based on the prior ask? But I was just thinking how Sunday would probably try (keyword try) to remain pure and abstain from s*x before marriage, yknow? But when he finally does have you as his own, all bets are off. Angel boi is horny and wants you :( in his mind: it’s pure and simple yet beautiful lovemaking between two souls :( and in my love deprived ass I would melt because I know he’d be big on giving and receiving praise fjgjgjgj even would enjoy the idea of extending the Family if you were down for it (whether or not you could, he enjoys the idea of it) ((also he likes control so))

And don’t get me staarttteddd on his sweet aftercare and pillow talk D: oml you’d quite literally be on cloud nine!! He is too tho :) and he cannot help himself from just being so sweet and genuine orz

ohhHHHHH- Y e s I like this quite a bit. Need this to take a break from the angst I’ve been cookin up with a certain someone (you know who you are OTL).

Fair warning y’all are gonna end up seeing me write a fic about him that is blatantly blasphemous with religious themes (pretends like I’m not already working on one like that with Argenti).

Anyways- Back to this.

Thank you so much for the ask~ I love Sunday so much. <333333

CW: possessive behavior, cumming inside, fluff!!! (crazy I know how very almost off brand of me-), maybe some blasphemous thoughts? (idk that they count with aeons but hey-), marking, breeding kink (he’s saying it regardless of whether you are able to have children or not bc regardless it’s h o t -), praise

Reader gender: gender neutral (I tried not to say anything that would be too telling about what sex the reader is so please read it as such! I don’t think I said anything that was like that-)

So going off the last ask, we’re going to assume that he likes you enough to feel great affection for you. Enough to want you. To feel his own carnal desires rear their head even before you’ve married. It manifests in his seemingly innocent yet wandering hands. A hand on your waist as he passes by you. His hands drifting dangerously low when you hug. Leaning in close to talk to you. Lips making their way down from your forehead to your cheek to the corner of your lips. The placement of his kiss making its way to your lips slowly with every goodbye kiss.

But at some point, he can’t really stop himself from at least using those pretty hands of his on you- Along with that silver tongue and sinful mouth. He’ll make you feel so incredibly good, plunging his long fingers into you and taking you into his mouth. He’s lick and suck at you and even slide his tongue inside you. Perhaps the taste of you would be enough to tide him over until you were properly his- Married to him. It would have to be enough because you deserved to have a perfect wedding and perfect wedding night.

But aeons that doesn’t stop him from pleasuring you with what he can before then in order to hopefully keep himself in line. Even as his cock aches with the need to have you, he’ll just hold you down and whisper sweet promises in your ear. Even if you beg him, he won’t. Just wait for him baby just a little longer-

But after the ceremony is over and the afterparty is done and the guests all leave-

Oh dear. You’re finally left alone with your hungry fian- husband. You’re finally left alone with your absolutely famished husband. And you’re on the menu.

It begins like how many of your other encounters of sexual nature begin.

Sweet kisses that make it seem like he wants to swallow you whole.  Gentle hands taking in the feel of you in his arms. Trailing kisses down your throat, eyes closed in ecstasy because you were finally his now. He can have you with no regrets. All that waiting was for this moment. When he could finally have you wholly. And that makes this moment in the warm light of the bedside lamp and the cooler shades of the moon all the sweeter.

Wetted fingers stretching you in preparation for something larger, taking their time in their task despite knowing you well by then. Because even if this was to get you ready to become one with him- He’s wants to draw as much pleasure from you as possible. This is a special night for the two of you. One he will cherish completely and one he wants to make perfect for you. His arm would be holding him up, cradled behind your head for you to lean on while he molds himself to your side. Even as you whine and roll your hips into the curl of his fingers inside you, pressing on that special spot inside you, he kisses your cheeks gently with soothing words. “Good… very good, my love. Just a little more- I want you to finish on my fingers first. Can you do that for me, my sweet? I know you can-”

Just as he gives you your first orgasm of the night, he takes your lips once more while gently coaxing your through the waves of pleasure. He’s so soft, guiding you through the dance even while your mind goes blank for a bit as he watches your expression. “That’s it. I’ve got you.”

It’s then that he kisses you almost chastely before beginning his journey down your body to have his prize. The prize being whatever he’s managed to pull from you. He’d lick it from your body in broad strokes as though he were tasting honey dribbled over your form, caressing your every curve as he went.

Sunday would dribble lube over himself, a hand slathering the viscous substance over his cock in pumping motions. It was almost erotic watching him. The way he'd squeeze just a little at the top and you would watch his hardness twitch and drool between his fingers. But when you look up, the angelic man would only be looking at you. Gazing lovingly- longingly at you.

That's how it always was. Ever since meeting, he couldn't seem to take his eyes off you. You were simply radiant to him. Unlike anything or anyone else he'd ever seen.

Leaning over you to settle himself between your legs, Sunday would give you another kiss before asking if you were ready. While waiting for your answer, he'd go back to nip and lick at your neck. He wanted to mark you for all to see- You were his. His lover, his spouse, his soulmate. His. No one else's. He would love and care for you in every way, he'd think to himself.

And no- Don't just nod at him. "I need to hear you say it, dove. Please? For me, my dear?" Once you'd given him your clear consent, he'd bring you into a deep kiss while lining himself up with your stretched out, wet entrance. He can't even bring himself to tease you a little. Though the thought crossed his mind, he knew he'd been waiting far too long for this.

Once he was in the proper place, he'd rest his forehead against yours, the two of you breathing in each other's air while he looks down at where the two of you would be connected, fingers drifting to fondle you in order to distract from any possible pain you may feel with a gentle hum.

As Sunday would finally push in, cockhead popping inside, he'd gasp against your lips with twitching hips he had to force still. "Are you alright, love?" Taking a moment for himself to regain his composure and steel himself, he'd hide away in the crook of your neck to breathe in your scent and feel your pulse beneath his soft lips. Once you were ready it would be but a slow rock of his hips, moving gently inside you, to eventually sheath himself completely inside. As he worked himself into your tightness, Sunday would whisper sweet words into your ears in a whisper, as though the words were only for the two of you despite no one else being around- The words would come in between kisses while he rubbed a hand up and down your side to comfort you, the hand occasionally straying to rub your sex or pluck at your nipples to distract you from the strain of this part of the night.

Once bottomed out, your ass resting in the cradle of his hips with his body covering yours, he would ask you if you're alright and give you time to adjust. It's all praises here, the man telling you just how good you are for him and saying that you're doing wonderfully. After some time passes and you rock your hips against his to test your comfort, a small moan would be startled out of him before it devolves into a chuckle. "Are you ready, my love?"

It'd start with hip just grinding into you, firm but slow and accompanied by a pleasured sigh from him. He'd hold back none of his sounds because he wanted you to know how good you made him feel. Then he'd pull out only just a bit before thrusting himself back in. At some point he had begun to properly fuck you, the push and pull like the rocking of a boat on a gentle sea. This was making love. And after angling his hips, he found your sweet spot he'd only ever touched with those pretty fingers of his.

It'd be a struggle to not lose himself in you. In your all-consuming presence and the pleasure you gave him- In the love you showed him as you reached up to bring him close with a whimper of his name. It was like hearing the gospel fall from your lips. And they might as well have been. For now you were his everything. His god, his true Harmony. Were you to say it, it would be so. And right now, you were telling him that it felt good and asking him to keep going. So, he would.

With teeth gently marking all the places he'd been, his darkened eyes would watch the way you arch your back and moan to the heavens (they were yours anyways). Sunday is something that knows how to hide its teeth and disguise itself in the form of a man. He was careful to dull his claws so he would not hurt you when he held you close. Careful to veil the violence that was part of him, showing in his eyes, when he was with you. But he was a beast who knew the taste of blood. And yet you, his pure and lovely dove, loved him and accepted him. You said he was a good man and that you loved him. You were his truth. So, it must be so.

He wanted to claim you so wholly that none could ever deny that you both belonged to one another. That none could mistake that you were his deity and him your humble and devout servant who worshiped you here in the temple of your bed, giving you his offerings in pleasure, loyalty, and love. That brought another idea to mind of just how he could claim you and show you his deepest love.

"I want to breed you, my love. To carry on the family and mark you inside with my cum. Would that be alright? Do you want that as well, dove?"

He would speed up now, thinking about how he could have a family with you. How lovely you would look with a child tottering around behind you. He would make it happen no matter what so long as you wanted it as well. When you agree, he'd smile so wide his face hurt and shower you with kisses. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, my love my heart my everything-"

He can hardly fathom how he'd lived without you before.

Touching and kissing you all over he drove the two of you to your peak, the both of you moaning and whining against each other's lips as you kissed through the high. His hips continued to rock into yours to prolong the waves of pleasure that washed over you before slowing to a stop when you both became overstimulated.

"Thank you, love. You did so well- So very good for me. I love you so much," he'd praise and declare between kisses that he planted all over- Everywhere he could reach while wrapped up in your arms and holding you so close you wondered if the two of you could fuse together. "I love you, too," you'd mumble against his lips as he came back to them for a proper kiss. The chaste peck turning into a sensuous slide of lips, unhurried and full of undeniable love.

Even when he withdrew from your now cum-filled hole and began to clean you up, he would praise you and ask you how you felt while pressing kisses every place he touched. Once everything was done and he'd had you drink water, he'd lay down and pull you to lay on his chest. While stroking your back and pressing a kiss to your hair, he'd bid you goodnight and say yet another "I love you" before quietly humming to help you drift asleep.

Hopefully that was to your liking~ I had fun writing it! Thank you for the idea and for letting me write more about Sunday! <333

Feel free to send in another request if you want, hehe.

[lint-beetle4]

Can you do a little pretty night dance fluff with for SixNine?

I'm meaning a waltz like dance, or idk something else that's dancing- I could see the two theater boys doing that

Moonlit Performance (SixNine Fluff)

The stars twinkled in the moonlight, their bright sparks and happy glows dancing on the river that ran through the mountain. Trees gracefully swayed and danced as the ocean blew wind towards them, in harmony they pulled and pushed against each other with the moon and the tides.

Macaque sighed, hearing the heart of the mountain beat in time with rhythm of the island.

It was rare that nights were peaceful nowadays--threats of the celestial armies looming overhead, their bright light casting fires and arrows from below, hitting anything in sight.

But, now?

Now, it was peaceful and the natural unity of the island was able to flourish, even the tree the monkey sat in was practically dancing in its old joy.

The sun had set, resting its diligent and powerful rays as the moon rose with its gentle glow. The moon and the stars gleamed above, their lights giving the sky a performance as animals lurked around the woods.

The brightest star flickered in the sky tonight--a lone star in the root mansion of the Azure Dragon. Its light may not have been as bright as other stars, but the star still glowed with the others, forming the Azure Dragon constellation with a passionate shimmer.

Macaque listened to the steady footsteps behind him--neither malicious nor quietly. Macaque's ears twitched as the footsteps stops, a heart beat slowly, calmly--Macaque grinned, turning behind to see his companion and partner.

"Aw, I thought I would be able to sneak up on you this time." Xiangliu grinned playfully, "Why are you out here alone, Mihou? Is there something wrong?"

Macaque's heart stuttered at his partner's gentle tone, worried yet still so happy to see him. Shaking his head, Macaque merely turned back to look at the sky, seeing the lone star still shining brightly.

"It's quiet tonight." Macaque sighed. "Hasn't been like this in a while."

Xiangliu leaned against the tree while looking up at his lover, watching as the simian's face slowly shifted in a grin that glowed with the moon.

"And what you doing out here, by the way?" Macaque asked. "It's pretty late to be out, y'know."

The Nine-Headed demon chuckled softly, his eyes still softly gazing at Macaque's vibrant gold eyes. "The moon looks too pretty not to admire, don't you agree?"

"You think so? I was watching the stars more than anything."

"The stars, you say?" Xiangliu squinted at the sky slightly, "They hardly shine as bright as moon's glow. The moon is a delicate yet mighty source, controlling the winds and tides at her feet, and you look at the stars that twinkle pathetically compared to her gaze?"

"The moon glows nicely, but the stars have a certain charm to them. Giving the dark ink around the moon light, circling around her cold gaze with warmth and excitement. Without the stars, the moon would be lonely. Without the moon, the stars would have nothing to look at themselves." Macaque chuckled lowly, shaking his head.

"I think they're both precious, joining the sun briefly as it lays to rest and dancing together in the moon's spotlight." Macaque turned to Xiangliu with a knowing grin. "It truly is a wonderful sight, isn't it?"

The serpent demon smiled back, looking at the sky fondly, seeing the moon shimmer at him. "I can't argue there. It's special mix of harmony and chaos, stars littered everywhere, yet the moon stays there in her various forms."

Macaque jumped down from the tree, eyes admiring his lover briefly before he extended a hand with a grin. "The spotlight is not just for the stars, y'know? How about we treat the night sky to a little performance ourselves?"

"Oh, you go yourself, dear." Xiangliu blushed slightly with a slight shake of his head. "I'd love to see you in your full glory."

Macaque rolled his eyes, gently holding the snake demon's hands as he pulled him into the soft light of the full moon. "It's just us and the sky, you silly serpent--How could I possibly dance when my partner isn't here to support me?"

Xiangliu scoffed as Macaque pulled him closer, hands splayed as they entered a starting position. "I've seen you dance with nothing more than the air around you. Each time, you look graceful, like the curtains wish to wrap you in a tight embrace."

They bowed lowly, the island humming a gentle melody for them.

"And, yet, the curtains can't exactly hug me like you could." Macaque laughed, twisting the snake demon around as they stepped in sync, the tips of their feet bouncing slightly in beat.

The two revolved around each other, reveling in the white noise that surrounded them.

The sky sang with the mountains and the sea danced slowly with the gushing lava protecting the island. As the duo continued their dance, Macaque leaned into Xiangliu's shoulder, a soft purr rumbling through the both of them.

"You know--you were right." Macaque hummed, "The moon is pretty lonely without the stars to greet it."

"And the stars always yearn for the moon to light the way." The Nine-Headed demon grinned, squeezing the darker simian as they swayed with the ocean.

Through the night, they eventually left, seeing that the sun would soon rise, and the gentle night would fade into the energetic day, bouncing around with cheers as the moon and the star watched with a tender exchange of glances.

Intro post

Heyy I'm Kiara. The group blog over on @willows-pjo-ocs is cool and all, but I decided to make my own.

So here's some basic info i guess

Age: 15

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: bisexual

Godly parent: Selene

Powers: healing (only at night), photokinesis (limited to moonlight and not that much, Aurelia says I'm like a glowstick), increased strength at night time particularly when the moon isn't obscured by the clouds (which does not change when the moon is new since its still the moon), I can transfer the pain you feel to myself, limited hydrokinesis since the moon controls the tides, and I sees better in the dark. Limited umbrakinesis plus I can shadow travel. Not really a power, but I am pretty good at chariot driving since my mom is Selene, if I do say so myself.

Status: taken i love my wife girlfriend @southerndaughterofeos

Siblings: @overlyprotectiveheadcounselor @born-of-moonlight @sophia-hunter-of-artemis @daughter-ofthe-moontitan @the-little-moonie

I'm pretty chill just don't be a dick, i guess.

Ooc under the cut

Heyyy! I figured it might be fun to make some blogs for my ocs. With the amount i have and probably will make, this will make things easier and more fun.

i am way too autistic about the riordanverse send help

I'm the moderator of @willows-pjo-ocs and my main is @gaygirldoodles

@selene-goddess-of-the-moon

#willow speaks ◇ is what i'll use for when the mod is speaking vs #willows pjo ocs ♡ and #insomniac daughter of the moon will be for in character stuff

the rest of this will probably be copy pasted from the intro post on the group blog tbh

TW/CW FOR TRANSPHOBIA, MENTIONS OF DEATH, AND SELF BLAME IN HER BACKSTORY also SH so im making it extra big so you dont miss it i dont wanna risk anything

Kiara is a 15 year old transgender demigod daughter of Selene. She arrived at camp a bit before the Battle of the Labyrinth (the battle itself, not the book, but both are technically true), so she did end up fighting in the Battle of the Labyrinth, the Battle of Manhattan, and the Battle of Half-Blood Hill (plus if there was another one in toa i havent read it yet so dont spoil me.)

I would say she was about 12 or 13 when she arrived at camp so she's been there for a bit

She wasn't claimed until 2 or 3 years after she arrived since her mom didn't have a cabin yet

She is currently dating Aurelia Emerson, another oc of mine.

No father issues here since her dad is pretty awesome, but she does have mother issues, which comes with your godly parent being your mother.

She has a good deal of trauma from these battles, as do the other demigods who fought in said battles.

Since she can only heal at night, she compensates with her fighting skills. She was unable to save lots of friends and fellow campers during the battles and she blames herself for their deaths constantly. The tragedy of being a combat medic at her age.

Kids used to tease her all the time and do stuff like pulling on her hair at school but she ended up finding her people

At some point (sometimes i rp before, during, or after this) she ended up going on a quest. I haven't planned out much of this quest or who she gets captured by, but she ends up getting captured by these monster or something who want a son of Selene even though she very much isn't a son, but a daughter. They only ever referred to her as a boy and made her wear raggedy ass "boy" clothes (even though i believe that clothes dont have gender idk how else to phrase it)

She ends up back at camp somehow, havent planned that part out yet, but yet another trauma she has to deal with (yay i guess..?)

She ends up picking up smoking to deal with the trauma. She doesn't really tell anyone, and she tries to hide it since she's underage, it's against the rules, and sincs Aurelia would kill her if word got out.

Every time she heals a patient, whether it's a broken wrist or the entire arm is ripped off, she transfers a great deal of the pain to herself so they don't have to deal with it. Better her than them, she tells herself.

Eventually, she grows pretty numb to the pain. She can still feel it, of course, but she's just used to it. It doesn't bother her as much as it used to. Occasionally, when she takes a smoke break, she'll put out the cigarette on the heel of her palm or her shoulder or something just to prove that she can still feel pain.

Also, I apologize if I accidentally portray her a bit wrong since I'm not trans but feel free to critique me if I do something wrong bc I really want to know so I can do better/be more educated

[sportsmodepigeon]

Magical realism au uhhh yes please! Would you be down for a peek into the magic? Like more about what it means for Oscar to be a witch, logan a werewolf, what the other drivers are etc? Thanks in advance if you answer :)

I assume this is about the loyalty fic verse because boy howdy would i LOVE to. lemme crack open my notes and find some good stuff. Going under the read more bc I've got a lot to say apparently. Thanks for asking! I love talking about this verse bc i luv magic <3

The world isn't all magic, roughly 40% has something going on tho. It's actually a bit odd for there to be such a heavy concentration like there is on the grid, and yet they make it work. For the grid: Oscar - Witch Logan - Werewolf Max - Shifter (Lion/Cat) Daniel - Shifter (dunno what to tho. One form is some sort of fast bird, the other might as well be a badger or a quokka.)   Alex - Vampire (Hilariously, happened in his gap year. Refuses to tell the story because it’s too embarrassing. Liam lights up when it comes up.)  George - Witch (Much more serious about it than Oscar) Lance - Selkie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fernando - Rumors swirl about what he is. Changeling would be hilarious. Knows about it, mastered it, likes to fuck with Lando. Lewis - Second generation removed angel (Wings he can summon, Weak healing magic) Checo - Regular ass human, miffed about the shit going on around him. Low-grade blessed by something. Nico - Regular ass human, thrilled he doesn’t have to deal with any of this bullshit. Kevin - Third generation removed demon (Horns he can will away, no tail, mildly fire-proof) Lando - Fae Yuki - Kitsune? Some sort of trickster. Shapeshifting would be used for evil (pranks.) Liam - Shifter (Some sort of fox) Franco - idk tbh. Something charming and wild. Pierre - Werewolf Esteban - Witch Charles - Naiad, but gets called a siren a lot.  Carlos - Regular ass human, kinda miffed he never developed anything. Valterri - Regular ass human, but no one believes him. Rumors swirl. Zhou - Witch  Seb - Fae (Smiles "politely" when you ask.) For how magic works: For witches, it's a lot more like... classic witches and wizards like HP. Wands, potions, learning spells, the whole nine yards. Most people who have magic take extra classes to focus it, either in focused schools, clubs, or just as an elective. There's 100% a bootleg youtube scene for teaching others magic. only 25% of it is scams for people saying you don't *need* magic to make love potions!

For Oscar, it means after school every day he had to go to the community center to learn the basics of magic his mom couldn't teach him. when he went to boarding school, all his electives got filled with magic classes because they wanted to make sure they were trained. Doesn't really seek furthering education on it, but does enjoy learning gimmick spells from tiktok. For werewolves & shifters: Werewolves and shifters, while they have a lot in common, are distinguished primarily by the source of their transformation. Shifters are tied closer to magic, tapping into it to change their body at will, going so far as to be able to partially shift. They tend to have higher levels of control over it, and therefore are typically regarded better. Shifters may be able to have multiple forms with enough practice. 

Werewolves are tied to a genetic source, something tied to magic but still separated, but inherently harder to control than shifters. Influenced by the moon, their control ebbs and flows like the tides, with many stating that a full moon made it nearly irresistible to transform, and a new moon making them desire denning. Calling it a curse is insulting, but it can be spread via a bite after they reach maturity. Higher influence on their daily lives, with instincts stronger than shifters. Neither “loses their minds” while transformed, but it does take time still to manage instincts. A baby werewolf is no more a threat than a regular dog. Werewolves have a higher metabolism and healing rate than a shifter. For Logan specifically, his is genetic through his mother. He grew up running under full moons with his brother and mother on sandy beaches. He's got a good relationship with his inner wolf, but it does act up if he's ummmm not in a good place (like williams in '24).

[ask-moonbig]

And the universe said I love you.

480 words

In game deaths mentioned

( @ask-mother-spore )

Idk if this is any good, tried to do something more poetic

<ꖎ⚍リᔑ burned to death>

Sp… Spore? Is anyone there?

<ꖎ⚍リᔑ burned to death>

Help me- help- I-

<ꖎ⚍リᔑ burned to death>

<ꖎ⚍リᔑ burned to death>

<ꖎ⚍リᔑ burned to death>

I can’t-

<ꖎ⚍リᔑ burned to death>

and the universe said I love you

What?

and the universe said you have played the game well

I'm not a player, what do you mean?

and the universe said everything you need is within you

…

and the universe said you are stronger than you know

and the universe said you are the daylight

That's not right.

and the universe said you are the night

I am just the moon, not the night.

and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you

and the universe said the light you seek is within you

and the universe said you are not alone

But I am alone.

and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing

and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code

and the universe said I love you because you are love.

...

Let me tell you a story. In the beginning, there were three beings. The universe, and their two children. They named these children Solar and Lunar and split a piece of their power to each.

Solar was the perfect child. He was reliable and always kept the cycles running. When the players were created, they loved him and all of the warmth he brought during the day.

Lunar was the troublemaker. She was always going through phases and never seemed to decide what the night should be like. She even changed her name to Luna to distance herself from her brother.

The people hated Luna. They were scared of her human form, a towering pillar of void in a humanoid shape. She mostly stayed away from the players and lived in a cottage with her mother and brother.

Luna was just… so done with everything. People hated her and said she was useless and harmful. So she came up with a plan.

Using her powers, she carved a hole in the sky for herself to sit in. Nothing existed in this void but her. She raked her hands through her hair to pull out the night sky and the planets. She let go of her control on the tides and lastly… she let go of her memories. They exploded out of her and filled the sky, making thousands of glittering dots. Stars.

And all that was left of her was… the moon. Her consciousness faded away and she lost her powers. The night would still go on, but she would not control it. This made her mother and brother heartbroken.

It was only when a certain Hermit began watching her that she woke up, as Moon. She knew nothing but the love of her mooners.

...

and the universe said I love you because you are loved.

[cometsandstardust]

y’all ever have anything where you know how something works but you also don’t know HOW it works???

i have so many:

i know the moon controls the tides but how does that work?? idk

i know that (most) cars need an engine to function but how tf does the engine work?

and there’s definitely more but it’s 1:30 in the morning and i’m not functioning properly so that’s what we got.

but also like, i have no desire to try and learn how these things work, i know enough and that’s fine

[trashnightshade]

hey! i love that line in your bio(?) AND THE BACKGROUND it's the one of the best photos of moon jellies i've ever seen!!

i'm also deeply enamoured by physics. i actually don't know why i'm here. i think the jellies captivated me when i clicked on your page. i guess you just seem interesting, so

any interests?? or if you want an actual question umm i guess

a strange/interesting thought you've had recently

a fanfic/book that broke yu & put yu back together (either/both)

you're favourite character from ice age (feel like that says a lot about someone idk)

random fact that yu know/found out

something that made you question the perception of homosepians

something yu like that might be considered weird/strange/odd/arcane. eg. i like tide pools, tiny things and the unusual peculiarity that is the mad hatter and all things Alice in Wonderland

the fragility of morality

oh! and something mundane but meaningful, like your comfort movie or something

OMG HI THIS IS SO SURREAL I literally love your blog also the profile pic is amazing

Thank you so much!! Im glad my jellies captivated you :) here is a lobed comb jelly for you

If I didn't know the steps of a relationship, would I still try to dance them?

For fanfic: Alice, Look at Me because it was the first Nobleflower fic I read and it DESTROYED ME

My fav character has to be Sid the Sloth...he is my queen

Cats meows are actually learned behaviors to be able to communicate with humans. They dont meow often with other cats but they learned it gets them things from humans.

Reading blogposts on Tumblr as well as poetry from different time periods. People have never really changed. We still love and lust and long for that one person. Its nice to have this sense of certainty.

I think death and theories about the afterlife is super interesting! I have been asking all my friends about their theories and one of my friends said I was going to cause a frat boy to have an existential crisis and go on a killing rampage if I bring it up at parties haha

oh boy don't get me started on morality. Who decides the scale? If someone who loves me saw all of the terrible things I have done in my lifetime would they still look at me the same? Can the good things you do erase or outweigh the bad? Are we born pure or are we born dammed? I'm inclined to believe that morality is useless because what is the point of laying awake at night trying to weigh all my actions, but my self-hatred argues that if I claim to be a good person then I am ignoring everyone i have ever hurt. Not to get political, but I think that the idea of morality has been used to control people way too many times for me to fully believe in it but I do think it is a fascinating idea :)

My comfort movie is Kiki's Delivery Service but I have to stop it before the end. I don't think I've seen the ending in years.

[deerdovelove]

This is my

OC, she's from one of my favourite fandoms and I decided to create her!

I was supposed to post her on tiktok interacting with MK since ya know he doesn't have a mother figure and her trying to fill that hole!

I don't know what's her name I haven't decided yet

I mean, if you guys have any suggestions and what her name should be, you can comment!

Also here some facts about Her!

-she was created at April 19 2023

-she was inspired by my old art that I created

-She's a lesbian and she used to have two wives

-Also she's inspired by the sea!and her earrings are actually A gift from her wives

-Also fun fact! Did you know that the sun also generates considerable tidal forces, which means that it can control the tides, but since the moon is way closer to earth than the sun.The moon tidal force is much stronger.Which means she falls In love with the moon at first then the sun.

-But later Stopped courting the moon since she saw how happy she was with another. And she married two women instead she's very happy

-She's a mother figure to Mk and Bai He

-the gold around her neck,arm,wrist,and ankle is a spell that's supposed to hide her true appearance

-She's 5'9 ft but if we add to the fact she's an entire sea she'd be damn pretty big.....(This is in her true form btw)

-She absolutely loves children to the point if one Destroys an entire Palace she'd be like "Oh no he/she/they was a little angry don't punish her/him/them"

-Shes way older than the characters in the show, not including the Jade emperor.

-I'd say she's about Idk like a 40,000 years old I think

NOW ANGST!

-Two of her wives were arguing about something which led to a battle costing both of there lives

-Which ended up making her extremely depressed making the oceans Unstable for a while I shall call it the "Oceanic of the Mourn" (I made it up on the spot)

-In order to distract herself from her wives death she adopted a child which she got to attached too much.And the child she raised later died of old age.

-She has multiple adoptive children Some of them died from a murdered etc.

-Which made her more Unstable and she was later visited by a celestial deity and was recommended to sleep for about 30,000 years making the tides of nearby of her home calm down and people celebrating it calling it "Oceanic Clams Tides"

-Since after Her "Oceanic of the Mourn" Clams were found abundantly so much to the point where the town called "Clamsea Village" and it became a tourist spot for years and The "Oceanic of the Mourn" will only appear for about 1,000 years before disappearing and reappearing

-This timeline is set before the start of the show where She woke up after sleeping for a very long time she doesn't know what happened since she was sleeping deeply

-And wander leaving astray the nearby village that her house was set (She lives underwater btw) She wander in the streets And found an Anthropomorphic pig who taught her how to cook (If she didn't know how to cook at all she would be ei from genshin impact)

-And she later blended in society having to change her identity several times since finding someone who hasn't died in more than 100 years isn't that weird?

-She then met a another Anthropomorphic pig which she later found out that the Anthropomorphic pig who helped her how to cook food was her Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-Grandson

-and that all I want to talk about fir now.....

Anyways

Kiara Belvedere

Age: 15

Gender: female

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: bisexual

Godly parent: Selene

Powers: healing (only at night), photokinesis (limited to moonlight and not that much, kinda like a glowstick when she's embarrassed), increased strength at night time particularly when the moon isn't obscured by the clouds (which does not change when the moon is new since its still the moon), she can transfer the pain you feel to herself, limited hydrokinesis since the moon controls the tides, and she sees better in the dark. Limited umbrakinesis plus she can shadow travel. Not really a power, but she is good at chariot driving since her mom is Selene.

(Slight tw/cw for transphobia)

General information: Kiara is a 15 year old transgender demigod daughter of Selene. She arrived at camp a bit before the Battle of the Labyrinth (the battle itself, not the book, but both are technically true), so she did end up fighting in the Battle of the Labyrinth, the Battle of Manhattan, and the Battle of Half-Blood Hill (plus if there was another one in toa i havent read it yet so dont spoil me.)

I would say she was about 12 or 13 when she arrived at camp so she's been there for a bit

She wasn't claimed until 2 or 3 years after she arrived since her mom didn't have a cabin yet

She is currently dating Aurelia Emerson, another oc of mine.

No father issues here since her dad is pretty awesome, but she does have mother issues, which comes with your godly parent being your mother.

She has a good deal of trauma from these battles, as do the other demigods who fought in said battles.

Kids used to tease her all the time and do stuff like pulling on her hair at school but she ended up finding her people

At some point (sometimes i rp before, during, or after this) she ended up going on a quest. I haven't planned out much of this quest or who she gets captured by, but she ends up getting captured by these monster or something who want a son of Selene even though she very much isn't a son, but a daughter. They only ever referred to her as a boy and made her wear raggedy ass "boy" clothes (even though i believe that clothes dont have gender idk how else to phrase it)

She ends up back at camp somehow, havent planned that part out yet, but yet another trauma she has to deal with (yay i guess..?)

Also, I apologize if I accidentally portray her a bit wrong since I'm not trans but feel free to critique me if I do something wrong bc I really want to know so I can do better/be more educated

Face claim:

Aurelia Emerson

Age: 15

Gender: female

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: lesbian

Godly parent: Eos

Powers: photokinesis (limited), hydrokinesis (only the morning dew), increased strength at dawn.

General information: Aurelia is a 15 year old demigod daughter of Eos. She is from small town Mississippi and she came to camp closer to when she was 14, so pretty recently. She is currently dating Kiara Belvedere, as said above. She arrived at camp after an emposai attacked her. (Probably a satyr who brought her, but idk.)

She arrived at camp post the events of the Heroes of Olympus books and thus didn't fight in those same battles that Kiara did. (Once again, if there was one in toa I didn't read it yet.)

She dealt with/deals with a lot of internalized homophobia and stuff like that since she grew up in small town Mississippi.

But she never really extended it towards others. It always confused her why people would be upset about who someone loves or what their gender identity was or anything like that

But as soon as it was her who happened to be a kiss-girl (im so sorry i cannot take myself seriously), she hated herself for it. It was fine when anyone else was like that, but not her.

She ends up being able to accept herself more slowly after she and Kiara don't start dating quite yet, but are kinda talking? Do you call it that if you've been best friends for a while and already acting pretty gay around her? Idk. Seriously, Marilene (head counselor for the Selene cabin) was waiting for the longest time for them to just kiss.

They do end up dating dw

This really reminds me of Once More to See You by Mitski because Kiara really just wanted to tell everyone and everything about how much she loved Aurelia, but Aurelia was still closeted at this point. (Sorry if im making it sound like it was a bad thing that she was closeted. it's not and, good on her for taking her time and doing it when she was comfortable)

Face claim:

Imagine her but just a bit tanner

Marilene Smith

Age: 19

Gender: female

Pronouns: she/they

Sexuality: idk but saphic

Godly parent: Selene

Powers: she can 'see' anything that the moon is in line of sight of (one part of the earth in the day the other part at night since thats how day and night work) (nothing underground plus trees and stuff) to a degree. It takes a good bit of energy and focus and stuff since she's not a goddess. Limited photokinesis and umbrakinesis though she is better at photokinesis. She can shadow travel. Like Kiara, she can heal. But only at night. She was the one who taught Kiara. She also gains strength from the moon. It does not change when the moon is new, since the moon is still out.

General information: Marilene has also been at camp for a pretty long time. She is one of the oldest campers there. She arrived at camp when she was maybe 15 and stays there full time. Being the head counselor of the Selene cabin, she cares about her sibling more than anything. When Kiara didn't return from her quest, she spent every moment she could trying to locate her and asking some of the Helios kids to help her. Even when Kiara was still doing the quest as normal she occasionally took a look just to see if she was alive and ok. She did end up having to promise Kiara that she wouldn't be looking too often. She also had to promise Amaia the same thing when she joined the Hunter of Artemis although the protective older sister part of her often made it very difficult not to.

Face claim:

Gender: female

I couldn't find any pictures that had her body type so imagine her as plus sized and you have the right idea

Amaia Hussain

Age: 13

Gender: female

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: idk/doesn't matter

Godly parent: Selene

Powers: Since Selene is also a goddess of Lunacy, Amaia has the ability to drive people and occasionally nymphs mad. She gains strength at night, particularly when the moon is not obscured by clouds. This stays the same even when the moon is new. Limited photokinesis and umbrakinesis though she is better at umbrakinesis. She also has zoolingualism since she is a Hunter of Artemis. She is immortal unless she falls in love or dies in battle, also because she is a Hunter.

General information: Amaia arrived at camp when she was 11 years old. When the Hunters visited camp at some point during Kiara's capture, she decided to join them after Marilene asked to see if they would be able to help her find Kiara. At some point with the help of some demigods from camp and some of the Hunters, including Amaia, they were able to find Kiara and bring her back to camp.

Face claim:

Melissa Hanning

Age: 16

Gender: female

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: aro/ace

Godly parent: Psyche

Powers: She is more sensitive to peoples emotions than others, she can look into someone's psyche kinda and see how their feeling. Although she cannot see super clear memories, she can get a sense for what thing in someone's past made them that way. She can temporarily alleviate someone's mental pain so to speak. In general, she is very emotionally mature and is the responsible one.

General information: I do not know when she arrived at caml but I do know that she only stays for the summer. Although she is very much a people person, sometimes being the voice of reason or being a therapist to traumatized demigods like the rest of her siblings is exhausting. Sometimes she'll cope with that by letting herself be reckless and not have to worry about things. Other times she'll just lay in her cabin for a while to soak in the quiet, or rather, what little quiet there is at camp. One day after Leo managed to basically undo the reprogramming Glykera had done to her, he went to Melissa to try and see if she would be able to help Glykera despite her being an automaton (see the oc bellow this one). She wasn't able to use her powers as well to help Glykera since she is an automaton, she was able to help her deal with these new emotions and find better coping skills.

Face claim:

Γλυκέρα (Glykera)

Age: ???

Gender: ???

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: ??? (Probably aroace)

Godly parent: None (except she was created by Hephaestus cus it was either that or Daedelus

Powers: ???

General information: (tw for mentions of sa and/or implied sa , physical abuse, and basically being jumped im sorry)

.

.

.

Ok i just did the dots so it would give more space and stuff cus i know i accidentally read ahead all the time and i dont want anyone who doesn't want to to have to read what the tw is for on accident

Anyways, Glykera is an automaton from ancient Greece. Idk which period, probably closer to when they made more of those statues. She was made to resemble the beauty standard for women at that time period.

Since Hephaestus creates a lot of things, she ended up getting lost and ended up in the hands of her old master.

He would have her assist him with things and stuff, the whole schist. He wasn't the nicest man in Greece, but he wasn't the worst. When he first got her, he ended up reprogramming her so that she wouldn't feel or express her emotions as much. Then he reprogrammed her so that she couldn't really object to her order. Those reprogrammings did take a couple of tries however.

He also slammed a hammer or some thing else heavy onto her hand, to see if it would hurt. It did, but since her metal is pretty sturdy, she didn't get dented.

Her old master would have guests over all the time and she would serve them drinks or just stand there looking pretty while she waited for orders.

These drunken guests would occasionally get a bit too comfortable with her, and since she couldn't really do anything, they just continued. You know how those bronze statues of women sometimes have lighter spots on their breasts because people decide to just touch them? Kinda like that but her metal didn't get much lighter. She physically could not say no or move or express her discomfort because of the reprogrammings.

One time, for whatever reason, one of the guests ended up jumping her, almost beating her to robot-death or at least almost leaving her with pretty bad damage.

As a result, she hates being touched. She hates it when people talk about giving her or other automatons upgrades or reprogramming. She hates being called an it as well.

After days when her old master had guests over, he would erase her memory of what had happened if he knew one of the guests had assaulted her, but he wasn't always successful. He often tried to get them to just leave her alone, but he wasn't the most firm about it and they continued.

At some point she was basically powered off and didn't wake up for a few thousand years.

After Leo Valdez found her and did general repairs, he managed to undo the reprogrammings that stopped her from feeling her emotions as strong, expressing them, and he undid the one(s) that prevented her from protesting against orders and stuff like that.

He also accidentally brought back the memories that had been erased from her.

So for the next few days, the overwhelm of memories and suddenly much louder feelings left her in a pretty bad state for somr days. She would jump at every sound, curse herself for being unable to serve and just being in a heap, and sometimes she would have pretty bad panic attacks.

Since he was only really able to help her so much, Leo went to the Psyche cabin and now Melissa is her unofficial therapist.

She has since gotten better, but she is still pretty sensitive to sound, touch, and people being upset in general. She always tried to appease them, make them feel better, just to avoid potential consequences. Only a few people are allowed to touch her, and even then she's still not too big on it. She stays in Bunker 9 whenever they have fireworks displays, trying to avoid the noise, which is pretty effective.

Nowadays she spends most of her time in Bunker 9 although occasionally she will stroll around camp.

She also pretty tall. Either like 6'5 or closer to 7 feet tall

She's not as good as the Kourai Khyseai (Golden Maidens), who were also created by Hephaestus, and her facial expressions are limited and kinda uncanny

Also, I do not ship her with Leo or anyone else.

Face claim: ???/heres a picture of a greek or greek style statue i took at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts just imagine it was bronze

Oh my gods this was long

I even had to switch to the website just to finish adding all the pictures

Thanks if you read all this

Also all the divider things i used came from @firefly-graphics you should go check them out bc they were really a lifesaver when it came to making this

Seriously half the ones i tried to use from google looked like they were transparent but weren't so yeah

They ask that you just reblog the post you get the things from if you use it so im just gonna check that i did

[pulchrasilva]

Bestieeeee

I wanna know ab your ocs, give them up

Noooooo you can't have them theyre mine >:( /silly

Anyway have some fun facts about the gods:

The moon god's gender changes along with the cycle of the moon

The sun goddess' body produces a lot of heat (for obvious reasons). Sun burns are a sign of high status because it means you were invited into her personal space. Also darker skinned people are ones whose family has been very high status for a very long time, because they've live closer to the palace and so in a much hotter climate. Basically social power is all about how close you are to the sun goddess

The only exception is that magic users/priests have higher status than everyone, despite the temples usually being on the furthest edges of the kingdom, because their connection to the sun goddess is more profound than mere physical proximity. They have specific attire to demonstrate that status

The sun and moon gods are simultaneously toxic yuri and foundational fratricide, because they were like. "Married" but also theyre the two gods who existed at the dawn of time or whatever so they basically "grew up" with each other. Pseudo incest win!

The history that people are taught is that the moon god created the kingdom and humanity but needed to put their soul into humanity to bring them to life, so they basically died and the sun goddess took over ruling the kingdom to honour them

Im still working out the details of what really happened but it involves the sun putting the moon into a magic coma so that she could have total power over their kingdom

Where the kingdom meets the ocean, near the Palace of the sun goddess, are the Salt Wastes. These are a stretch of land where the tide washes in, but the heat from the sun goddess rapidly evaporates the water, leaving behind thick layers of salt and making the land toxic for vegetation. Because the tides are associated with the moon, this is symbolic of the push and pull for power between the two gods, and the devastation they leave in their wake

Theres gonna be some sort of climax where the sun and moon goddess have to fight. Or something. Idk but what I do know is that there'll be a solar eclipse when it happens

The sun goddess is kind of a cruel ruler so there's gonna be some kind of resistance once the moon wakes up, which is looking to usurp the sun and give the moon control of the kingdom. But like. While the moon is more benevolent than the sun, they're still ultimately a god and therefore divorced from human life and they have a lot of power to abuse, deliberately or not. The idea is to set them up as the perfect ruler to take over, and then to slowly reveal that this is far from the case

This is reflected in their relationships with the leading priestess, Sidera (my favourite character my babygirl my anguished lesbian). As a priestess of the sun goddess, she has a secret fucked up toxic devotion relationship with the sun goddess, which. Remember how people end up with sun burn in her presence? Yeah so Sidera gets very badly burned when they have sex, and the sun goddess often removes the burns immediately after just for extra mind fuckery. Sometimes Sidera's unsure whether they were even there in the first place. But Sidera eventually finds and wakes the moon goddess, and gets to know them in secret, and learns that she can have a better relationship with a god than what she and the sun goddess have. That's what shakes her loyalty and causes her to switch sides to help the revolution, becoming the first priestess of the moon instead

BUT thanks to the shitty relationships they both had with the sun, Sidera has ended up with an extreme need to devote herself to someone entirely (if you think that sounds similar to another character of mine shhhhh) and the moon has ended up with control issues so they kinda make each other worse, culminating with Sidera sacrificing herself to the moon in order to give them the power to defeat the sun. So like. The moon is better to Sidera than the sun was, but still not good

Also on that note, ultimately the story will show that neither the sun or the moon are good enough rulers, you need a secret third option: earth, as in humans. But Sidera's name was taken from the Latin for "stars", so she's always been associated with celestial bodies and although she's instrumental to defeating the sun she was never destined to live in the human-led world that results from it. She's too deep in the habit of worship for that

Also I'm considering whether I want there to be multiple nations, each with their own gods and maybe even their own magic systems but idk how to like. Handle that in the story lol. But it's inspired by misunderstanding an episode of jrwi apotheosis and briefly thinking there were loads of different pantheons each tied to different countries

"As the Moon"

Vampire Namjoon x Reader

Warnings: supernatural themes, angst, implied death, blood drinking, suggestive moments, Joon's a lil obsessive

A/N: this is kinda all over the place but idk, I literally can't get my brain to focus anymore rn. Inspired by "Not by the Moon" by GOT7.

Spooktober m.list

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

"Swear to me not by the moon, for to love something as the moon is a terrible fate. Ever changing, ebbing and flowing with the tides. Never able to fully hold it, grasp it in your hands. It's kiss is not kind, soft and fleeting as falling snow. You will only ever be lonely."

Namjoon closed his book, staring out the window as the last rays of sunlight faded out behind the silhouette of the city.

'Finally.' He'd been waiting anxiously for it to grow dark enough to be safe to go out. Pulling his shoes on, he quickly made his out onto the street.

He pulled his ballcap lower as he passed through a particularly crowded area, keeping his head down to avoid giving faces to the passing figures, the neon glow of the city lights splashing them with artificial vibrancy. It was easier to ignore the need in the pit of his stomach if he didn't make eye contact.

That was how it always started; accidentally meeting someone's eye, the brief glimpse into their soul triggering the hunters reflex in him, flicker over his vision, canines sharpening.

He didn't mean to be that way, it truly was involuntary. Vampires were incredibly instinctual, driven by an ever present thirst.

Feeding was about far more than just satiating hunger. It was like a complete and total fusion of souls. When he fed from someone, he could feel everything they felt, be everything that they were. In those moments, he was filled with pure euphoria.

In all the years since he had become this way, he had become certain that there was nothing, no drug or liquor, that could ever compare.

But it was a drug he couldn't handle. it was too strong for him, too easy to overindulge in, and that had come at too high a price for those he took from, often costing them their life.

If he didn't care it would be easier, but he did. So now he had learned to control the hunger, surviving on tasteless blood bags. He didn't let himself get close to anyone anymore, moving about in a silent, colorless blur, living only for his work, denying himself any indulgence.

Until you.

It had seemed random at the time, but now, he believed it to be fate, when one evening he had wandered into a small, unassuming bookshop and there you were. Soft, bright, so full of color, a goddess reincarnate in his eyes.

He had tried not to be obvious at first, trying focus his attention on one book after another, only for his gaze to be continually drawn back to you. The yellow glow of the steetlight through the window caught in your hair, creating a golden halo around you as you carefully rearranged one of the shelves, somehow so ethereal in something so benign.

You had a relaxing air about you that was intoxicating, your eyes a youthful honesty that he envied. Being around you brought back a warmth he hadn't known in a long time. He felt it seep through him, like ink through paper, staining him with you.

He started coming by more and more often. The two of you would spend hours talking about favorite books and interests. You were independent and unafraid to speak your mind, making it clear that you were equally into him.

When he finally got up the courage to offer and walk you home one night, you'd immediately said yes.

It was like he'd been brought back to life again, a withered rose bush revived by the summer rain.

But just as roses had their thorns, his darkness loomed just below the surface, threatening to crack through the controlled exterior he had carefully constructed.

His attraction for you was a double edged sword. As you grew closer his hunger grew. Everything about you drew him in, your voice, your scent, your touch.

The first time you kissed, his fangs had slipped out. When you'd let out a gasp at the feeling of them scraping against your lips, he had tried to turn away, ashamed, but you wouldn't let him.

You had seen him for his true self and loved him anyway. Rather than making him more cautious, his addiction to you had only intensified.

Some nights he would just sit outside your building, staring up at your window. He understood now how Ambrosio must have felt for Selene in the Greek tale. He knew it was dangerous to get so close to you, but he couldn't let you go. You were his sunlight. To live without you was an agony he couldn't bear to face.

So, he stifled his impulses down even further. He made sure not to go too long in between feedings. It wouldn't be like the others with you, he swore to himself, he could control it, he had to.

But his resolve was tested when you invited him in one evening, removing the last barrier between him and you.

He tried to keep his composure, but could he barely focus, his hands refusing to submit to him, following your instruction rather than his.

"It's okay." You whispered, ghosting you lips over his.

"Don't say that." He groaned. You didn't know what you were saying, what you were promising, if he started-

"It's okay." You whispered again, tiling your head to the side, the bare expanse of your throat open to him. "I trust you."

He crumbled.

He pulled you in, close enough that your heartbeat replaced his, shivers of heat creeping up his spine, your scent clouding his mind.

"Just a taste." He breathed out against your neck, not sure if it was a promise or a plea, his fangs aching with need. Finally, sinking his teeth into soft flesh of your neck.

Everything that was you flooded his senses. He could feel your breath spread through his whole body as you sighed. Blinding light seemed to seep into every inch of his heart and mind, filling himself with you til he almost ceased to exist.

Your heart fluttered desperately, like a bird in a cage. He knew he needed to stop, he had to, but he couldn't. It was too much, he was drowning in you. He felt your hand slip from his as you fell limp in his arms.

He wrenched himself away, breathing heavily, freezing at the sight of you.

You were still and pale, your eyes closed.

No.

No, no, not again. His hands shook as he held you, panic rising in his chest. He couldn't lose you. He pressed his ear to your chest, listening closely.

For several long seconds, he could hear nothing, but then there it was. A faint flutter, barely audible, but there nonetheless. The little bird lived still.

Working quickly, he dragged his teeth across his wrist, pressing it to your lips. Just a few drops, that's all he needed. Not enough to change you, just enough to give your strength back.

For several minutes, it was unnervingly quiet, then a weak gasp as your breath returned to you.

Weak with relief, he collapsed next to you on the floor.

He would find a way to apologize to you once you woke. For now, he was content with listening to your breaths even out, thankful to the Fates for being kind enough to him to let him keep you.

*awkwardly walks in, waves, downs coffee like a shot, leaves without elaborating after dropping a note*

Hey, nothing too big this time as I've had a rough week and I'm currently dogsitting a dog that ain't mine so my brain power is more or less incoherent and shot, just passing on by to wish you a Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and to thank you for all your work in the fandom!

First of all, I've only know of Mess Au existing for like an hour and a half but I already adore the life out of it, Rip Player and their sanity due to the Evil Chain running around but I am thriving on their content with the Ganons. And, there's a discord? *Confused guitar sounds from a Musician*

Also I'd die for Pastuzo, just saying, if dangerous wild animal then why friend and hug shaped? I've only know him for a day and a half but if anything happened to him I'd murder everyone in the Yigah Clan and then myself, Player is lucky if it was me there with Nat I'd immediately pat, bless that guy (also Rip Nature and his food, I hope he knows that my version of Fia/Seraph is cackling at his misery, just straight up rolling on the floor), and the entire section with Eve? Perfection, outstanding, showstopping, honestly given I'm a reader myself I'd probably chill with him, and I hope Player gets to introduce books from their world to him because something tells me he'd love a wider selection, I am thriving so much with this thank you for the food of Ganon-Player Found Family. *Bows* Also, I kind of want the Ganons to meet Og Chain now, it would be funny.

Also, Player's Aid Au where everything is the same but the reason why Legend dislikes Players is that the only time he remembers with his Guide is in Koholint so that's why he's so Claude Frollo when it comes to them, the trauma is making him suspicious. Or alternatively, where Player is actually a Witch but like A Wadanohara Sea Witch rather than the standard type, like instead of a broom they have a staff with an anchor at the end they use to fight and fly (as well as several other anchors and fish hooks on their design), an Ocarina for healing spells, some control over water and basically does what the Links do but with a twist: protects the ocean and people's dreams, no one in the Chain would ever have a nightmare while they're around, bonus points if we give them a seagull familiar that can turn human, or that it's just straight up Marin, or if because Mipha is a Zora and Zora are sea creatures if they make her a familiar she can also join the Chain or heck even Nayru idk haven't thought that far ahead.

Legend: They're a Witch!

Sea Witch Player, feeding seagulls with Aryll: ... Yes? I did go to witch school in the witch world, and? Do you want to see my certificate and PhD in witchcraft or something?

One thing for sure is that if Sea Witch ever saw the Wind Fish fhey just straight up roll up their sleeves, go "Hold my staff and anchor earrings Rulie/Wild/Wind/Nat/Grandpa Tides" and just try to fistfight it, no magic involved, that or they'd be yelling expletives at it with at least one Chain or Passel/Singular (a group of hogs/boars) member holding them back from fighting it, bonus points if they do the same for Dark Link if they went through the same trauma Wada did or have moon trauma like Time too.

... Now I'm thinking about how the Chain or Ganons would react to Indie games, hm... Eh, maybe in another ask, Tides and Time would mentally adopt Niko from One Shot, or any child protagonists so fast I can literally see it, Time would literally feel smacked by Hello Charlotte and Undertale, and Legend would have a love-hate thing for both Omori, Yume Nikki and Dreamfarer and Hyrule would get so much trauma from Mad Father, gotta think of any other ones for another ask.

Anyway, happy holidays and hope you're having a better existence than I am currently!

-A Very Awkward and Tired Summertime Musician.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS SUMMER!

Also I'm so glad you're enjoying the Mess au right now it's literally all i can think about! Yes, Pastuzo is the pride and joy on the whole au now.

Also we gotta love witches, especially Sea Witch Player and all I'm saying is sharks are pretty great so Player having two familiars and once is a shark (more importantly whale shark because I love them)

Tbh, Tide I feel is an Animal Crossing lover (I know it's not an indie game but still), he enjoys the calmer life.

Also, don't worry! They will be meeting the Chain real soon :)

do you have any hc about percy being part of the sea? I know it's partly because we have so many books that get into his character and his connection to the sea, but t me it always felt like his connection is very different to the connection the other demigods have with their element

and u are not wrong, anon, because we don’t see anything like percy’s connection to the sea with other demigods and their respective elements. here are some Thoughts that i have about this, in no particular order at all:

if u read carefully, percy gets more and more powerful as time goes on, or more specifically: as he gains a better understanding about who he is. his connection to the sea is something he has to find, but it is still very much a part of him.

i feel like this is canon (i can’t remember? but i swear this is mentioned somewhere) but percy has more water in him than the average human. he is the ocean, based on how much raw power he has, so theoretically he may or may not be able to melt into the water the same way nico shadow travels. it could be like. idk. water traveling lmao

yes he can cause earthquakes, but this has to do with not only poseidon being the earthshaker (duh) but because the majority of earthquakes take place on the sea floor so. makes sense, i guess. this is something percy finds he can do later on (maybe when he’s 18 or something) because to me the incident of mount saint helens doesn’t count.

his moods change depending on the tides. for the longest time he didn’t know about this, but it gets to the point where it’s such a coincidence that when it’s a full moon he feels more powerful, more confident. tbh this is how i came up with the h2o au lol.

there was an oil spill near montauk while he was there and he felt sick for days

or for example if there’s a storm, he will feel uneasy/more alert about everything

this is how i came up with this fic bc he can totally tell when a storm is about to come in. this was handy in the argo ii probably lol

this goes for earthquakes, too. and sometimes he feels weird for no reason at all

like imagine him at school:

“hey, percy, you okay, man?”

and he explains that it’s an earthquake, but at the end of the day no one feels it bc it was like a 1.5 in the richter scale lmao so he learns to live with it.

obviously he wasn’t trained with his powers. obviously chiron didn’t want to train him. power=a threat in the riordanverse, so even once everyone learned about him being a son of poseidon no one made it their mission to help him control his powers. everything he knows about his abilities just….happened.

SO i am Convinced that poseidon or even triton take pity on him they also wanted to piss off zeus and help him out. he’s unstoppable after ofc

he’s also weirdly strong? this is canon, and it’s also canon for most demigods since it’s an actual Trait that was specifically described in greek mythology concerning heroes, but percy’s strength comes from the ocean’s raw power.

he loves salt. yes. he does. when annabeth first comes over to his apartment and sally makes her dinner she has to gulp down GALLONS of water because of how salty the food is 💀 sally had gotten so used to percy’s Needs ig. annabeth never lets percy live this down.

episode 15:

so was kozue just talking with that guy doing the kabedon to make miki jealous? and then the fckn. dude putting his hand on miki's ass, tf is up with that--how many sexual predators live in ohtori's halls-- and oh god is that protectiveness or jealousy on kozue's face. this episode is gonna be fun

damn touga's like...legit depressed. and nanami's wearing her dueling suit! she's got yellow as a main color and purple as a main accent...yellow is--happiness? pride? sunshine? gold? gold makes the most sense with purple, cuz purple's a royalty color

wdym "few people unable to freely use their hearts", that is such a strange line. is it referring to the constrictions of societal norms on true emotion inside or outside the person? both? neither? maybe it's about not truly understanding oneself instead? and including the "especially young people" line, damn--

so they're gonna seek out people who can "grasp [the student council members'] hearts" and that's why kozue is here, huh? does that mean no more weird zombie/mind-control shit?

miki walks into the room and immediately chu-chu finds itself extremely bothered with a fly that's flying around its head. if chu-chu is a representation of anthy's subconscious then that does not spell good things for how she views miki lmaoooooo--except right after chu-chu is looking up at him and nodding, which sends a very different message, hmmm---

"we have very similar tastes" you've only agreed about a name variant that's not grounds to claim "very similar tastes". at least he acknowledged it was weird tho

also i'm sure the wind-chime sound is marking Important Sentences with Double Meanings like the stopwatch did

hhhhh and the scene with kozue freaking the music teacher out. and implying that the teacher had hurt miki. is it protectiveness or does she actually mean something else besides 'hurt'--

blue and pink cups with the milkshake--gender roles? switched gender roles?

wait so what did utena see in kozue's face/ear/earring that i'm missing? is it like..vengefulness? i'm not good at reading faces, especially ones in side profile--

ELEVATOR SCENE CHANGE! different background music! more melancholy and also higher in pitch! "if it cannot break its eggs shell, a chick will die without being born. the chamber of freedom and the cage of freedom, without revealing the vastness of the sky, both care for the chick. smash the world's cage! for the revolution of the world!" the replacement of touga's shadow with nanami's, and the fact that someone else (not touga) is saying it--but who's saying it! not miki or juri, not nanami, definitely not saionji, i think it's a young boy or a girl saying it but i can't place the voice-- what does it all mean--

...okay so it was nanami saying this? did i just misremember her voice actor? did it change? idk man

and the fan changing with where nanami's facing, and the fact that both juri and miki are facing away from her, and the pinwheels behind juri--

"[the moon] doesn't serve any purpose" yes it DO it makes the TIDES happen! and it TAKES HITS FROM ASTEROIDS SO THAT EARTH DOESN'T! THE MOON ABSOLUTELY HAS A PURPOSE FUCK YOU AKIO

the way it switches to miki's stopwatch but he doesn't stop it this time--is it that he's missing something's significance?

also milkshakes and butterflies as symbolism. also tf did kozue do

oh nvm anthy's fine

OH WAIT THE BUTTERFLIES IN THE FLASHBACK WERE THE SAME AS IN THE ELEVATOR OMFG

this is like the third time mikage has said "your only choice is to revolutionize the world" to someone. tf. why is that your line. also the fact that the music sheets are scattered when kozue was holding them close--

also was it a cocoon instead of a leaf in the last part of the elevator scene? so did kozue not regress as far as others? that says something about her character

why the rose in the corner? nothing was happening in the hall, did they just reuse the shot?

i genuinely thought the shadow was gonna be revealed to look like anthy and not kozue, like i thought the similarity between their silhouettes was meant to like. point out how miki's projecting his view of his sister onto anthy. but nope it's legit kozue, who has apparently improved her piano playing by leaps and bounds within less than 10 episodes

oh and she's wearing the black rose ring...and making a weirdly strong move on miki...is she actually mind-controlled like kanae was? hooo boy that's gonna be fun

OH AND THE BUTTERFLIES ARE BACK. and oh man is miki the one getting mind-controlled?? or at least his body's getting controlled with the fuckin sword...jesus christ kozue (or mikage if she's being mind-controlled too)

hold on there's a rose on the ceiling of the tunnel to the dueling forest, i never noticed that, huh. oh wait actually multiple roses. a painted-on graphic or something that was carved into the ceiling? i wanna say painted on

shadow girl play is weird af, "so ignore her" and then the guy immediately stands up and orders coffee and a sandwich lmao. right after saying s/he didn't want anything to eat/drink

oh so it's milkshakes instead of lilies on the desks this time? (and kozue said she "couldn't drink something that sweet" about the milkshakes...what's the symbolism here...childhood nostalgia? the way memory holds onto the good parts and discards the mundanities or even annoyances? so it becomes saccharine and therefore unpleasant to someone like kozue--)

aaaand kozue said and did practically the exact same things as kanae did, so she's definitely being mind-controlled--except apparently her stance is the same as miki's so that's miki's influence there?

"Time machine! Back to when I was a precious young child" i WONDER how this could apply to kozue. such a mystery. such a mystery, really.

wait hold on the handle and guard of the sword are both black--

"anthy must die!" *anthy does not visibly react*

"miki and I are the only ones worth of existence" alright girl you need to back off the homicide. also anthy just picking up a milkshake and drinking it cuz no one's paying attention to her

...did none of the milkshakes spill when the desks were clanging together? that's kind of impressive. also is that not the same position kanae fell into when she was defeated?

the rose appearing when miki gets up to kiss his sister. mmm definitely not about weird incest vibes nope. although the 'hey will you make me a milkshake' line was kinda cute

aaaaand akio being creepy as always. gross. "i will comfort you" I DON'T THINK COMFORT IS THE RIGHT WORD HERE

oh god is that ending scene gonna be another Repeating Scene. oh god please no

Oh also, along with writing the December 2023 Monthly Short Piece today, I finally watched the first episode of Revolutionary Girl Utena after days of seeing a moot post about it and--

"I am the Rose Bride. From this day forward, I belong to you."

i am going to murder everyone in this damn school for anthy

hmm for the ask game: 'for want of a nail' for fixed and dilated?

i guess i'm curious to see what could've hypothetically happened if xb and hypno switched places - whether it's different, more or less the same, idk

hmm. i’m gonna assume this means a powerswap because i’m not sure if a personality swap would really make sense and i don’t know what other “switched places” this would refer to? so: xb but he’s got loose mind control shadow powers, hypno but he’s got weird ocean creature powers.

everyone on the server knows hypno is some kind of like... semi-eldritch ocean Thing at this point. sometimes you go into the ocean and you see thousands of eyes staring back up at you and you go “aw dip, hi hypno” and then the Unfathomable Depths go “hey is HHH still on tomorrow” and you go “sure is” and then both of you go back to your day.

xb, though, is... just, like, most people think he’s human, but hypno has known him such a very long time and he’s always been just a tiny bit unsettling? like, you read those horror stories about people with teeth that are just a little too sharp or extra eyelids or something and sometimes hypno feels like, there’s something a little alien about xb. something’s a little bit off.

it’s the shadow that gives xb away, of course. xb is casually chatting to hypno and they’re talking about hypno’s weird sea monster powers and hypno’s head feels a little light because he actually is kind of dehydrated, and he... his ears are ringing, is the thing, and he’s not really prone to tinnitus, and what’s more, this is a directional ringing. it’s coming from beneath him.

he looks down, and xb’s shadow is a little darker than it probably should be, and it looks like it’s seeping into his sneakers a little, and the distant ringing noise like a fading carillon bell is definitely coming from down there, and the second he realizes this something basically shoves his brain away from thinking about it and back to thinking about how he’s super dehydrated.

hypno isn’t really the type of guy to push, but... look, he’s a little insulted his bestie also has cool powers and didn’t tell him? and shadow powers are pretty compatible with ocean monster powers, actually? so he starts dropping hints about how he wants to maybe know more. and by hints i mean godawful puns.

xb (like classic f+d hypno) doesn’t have a range limit on the shadow powers. under the evening shade of a dark oak forest, hypno’s foot crosses over the shadow of a fencepost and every inch of his body freezes solid. xb says hi. he says he doesn’t really want to use his powers for spooky reasons, okay? he’s low-key for a reason, and that reason is he doesn’t want to scare people off. hypno’s ears are ringing with the sound of frantic windchimes before a hurricane. he nods.

they don’t talk about it after that, until the moon starts messing with the tides and hypno starts getting a little weird and feral and xb has to drag him up out of the ocean, but that’s a story for another time (ie once i eventually write how that scene goes in ACTUAL f+d)
