@striigon // hehe

there’s a cyclical keening sound, metallic and shrill, like a wheel spinning off its axis. his eyes open, if only to stare blankly up at the moonless, starless sky. it smells like burnt rubber and gasoline — tastes like dirt and the iron of blood. he closes his eyes. opens them again, and this time there’s voices, a riot of sound, flashing lights distorting his senses as a man bends urgently over him, asking questions he doesn’t answer.

something’s wrong. the understanding hits him at once, like the splash of frigid water. this was all wrong. he’d been riding his bike, headed home, coming around a corner and — he can’t feel his arm, can he? can’t move the fingers. suddenly can’t breathe, and the man above him speaks again, but this time, it isn’t to him. urgency cuts through the air, and his eyes are closing again, but now he’s trying to fight it. an icy fingertip of fear traces down along his spine, and as he slips away again, his mouth moves to say a name, the only person he wants there.

matija alilović? yes. i’m calling from nyu langone hospital brooklyn —

Callisto does not particularly like being towered over (damn being 5'3), but especially by creatures of the night. She's also been called many things by many people, but never that - though it sounds similar enough to what the cryptic Serbian man down the street calls her that she can figure it out.

A curse though - that's interesting.

"I cast more than I cure, that's for sure. But I'm guessing you're in need of the latter, or you'd be happier about being here. I'd need to have a closer look to let you know if I can do anything."

@striigon for blind date scenario.

The air was cool but not too chilly. Morgan dressed warmly but not so much he was sweltering. He took a seat at the outdoor café and ordered a water while he waited for his date.

A friend of his had set him up with this mysterious person, and while he had protested in the beginning, he ended up caving in. Worst that could happen was they'd be a poor match and they'd go on with their lives.

It wouldn't be the first.

The waiter brought his water and he thanked him. Maybe he'd order a tea later to go with dinner. As he perused the menu, he tried to decide on what he wanted. His thoughts however were interrupted when he heard footsteps and the chair across him being moved. Looking up from the menu, he saw his blind date; a dark haired man with a pale complexion and green eyes.

"Hello there. I'm Morgan, Morgan Fyres. Pleased to meet you."

@striigon teehee

“You look troubled, Matija.” She has manifested like the curl of smoke burning away from the wick of a candle. A curled spine, all sinuous, unearthly grace — and nothing less than a predator wrapped in silk. The smile she gives belies such a fact, disguises the millennia of banked power writhing through her twisted veins. He wouldn’t be fooled. Never was, after that first glorious meeting. Delicate chin slips into her palm, propped against the bar top, calm, assessing. “Perhaps I can be of help…?”

Silence from Simon. He gets the feeling that. That this elder doesn't like him. And that's... Fairly typical. He's used to that and it's fine. He just wishes there was someone he could turn to about all this. Someone he could ask questions to without feeling like he'd gone insane or like the other person was going to kill him just for being so pathetic.

"...sorry, i just. i'm not... i still haven't..." He clears his throat, glancing down. "fed yet. and i don't... know how. to. i guess."

The businessman took a final drag from his cigarette and exhaled off to the side. ❝ Most witches are adept at curses. That's sort of their thing. ❞ no real attempt to correct the man, just another dash of his trademark humor and dazzling personality.

It made sense the creature stayed well enough away from what had put him through the ringer so. Clark would have liked to say he ran on enough spite that he'd have never rested until it was both he and his tormentor in the ground but...he was young and the cambion knew this. Time was cruel and even the strongest of wills and most petty of bastards bended a knee to it. He would not fault Matija for perhaps trying to find some speck of peace or rest where he could.

❝ She can find me as interesting as she wants. ❞ he lifts his expensive shoe and grinds the butt of the cigarette onto its bottom until it's been snuffed out. ❝ But a witch who would be foolish enough to attempt a torment a demon is hardly a witch very interesting to me. ❞

He produces a tissue from his breast pocket to wrap the spent cigarette in so he needn't hold it in his bare palm. ❝ Close your ears to this then if you don't want to know: demons and witches work well together and do a great deal for one another. It's perhaps one of creations oldest examples of mutualism in the supernatural world. Very rarely though is it worth it to either party to be hostile to one another. Should your witch confront me in such a manner, I imagine it would be with the intention to vex you. ❞

He turned then to the man, his free hand resting upon his hip. ❝ In which case I then will have been vexed because we've hardly developed any sort of relationship to warrant me being dragged into your bullshit. I enjoy your company, Matija, make no mistake. But we are friendly acquaintances, not star-crossed lovers. Your witch can torment you just find without trying to drag me in as well. ❞

He eyes the man for some long beats, sized him up as he turned and began to make his way back inside. ❝ Then either you hide it well or I'm far less civilized a beast than I like to think myself to be. ❞

“I DON’T KNOW how specialized she is or isn’t. All I know is she’s adept at curses and enjoys inflicting them on others.” He falls quiet again. Clark’s getting a lot out of him - certainly, he’s admitted more to him in the past few minutes than he ever did to even Mirela. Clark is afforded a certain level of confidence because he too is an aberration, he supposes; out of everyone, he’s the most likely to come close to really getting it.

HE FINISHES HIS cigarette as Clark speaks, tossing it down to crush it under the toe of his thick-soled boot. His pack is back in his hands and he’s lighting another one - a bad habit, probably, to chain-smoke like this, but for what it’s worth the nicotine does soothe his nerves at least a bit. He needs something to do, anyways, lest he get destructive with all this talk of witches.

“I DON’T DEAL with witches anymore,” is his eventual response, tone flat and heavy, like a slab of concrete one might find on a sidewalk. “I know nothing of magic and I intend to keep it that way. It would serve you well to avoid my vjestiča, should she arrive, and I believe she will at some point. I think she would find you interesting, or at least my connection to you interesting. No matter what she offers, refuse. You’re the kind of thing she’d love to torment.”

THERE’S A BITTERNESS on his tongue that his cigarette can’t sate, and so he holds it, peering at it like it’s a thing worth inspecting. The muscle in his jaw tightens - loosens again when Clark compliments his ability to stay sane despite it all. It’s enough to get the corner of his mouth upturned in a smile: somewhat melancholic, perhaps, but a smile nonetheless.

“WHO’S TO SAY I’m not a raving, feral beast, hm?”

hey pals i've been quiet here bc i've been working on my films to get them ready for festivals and it's a pain LOL i'm fuckin about on yxkanna/striigon mostly in the meantime, i'll be back here in like july or so once i get my films done and 2 important early bird deadlines in

[malka-lisitsa]

what's your underlying motif?

the dog

whether it’s the way you bare your teeth when backed in a corner, your loyalty, or your tendency to act on instinct, your reoccurring theme is the dog. like mitski said “i get mean when im nervous, like a bad dog” or how halsey said “i won’t smile but i’ll show you my teeth” even when migos said “dance with my dogs in the night time” the essence of the dog runs through you. you’re tough and a quick draw on the outside, but if we got down to it we’d see you’re acting the only way you’ve ever known how. it doesn’t make you bad, survival is natural, your loyalty and determination is commendable. i don’t blame you for the way you act when your back is against a wall, but please remember to not bite the hand that feeds.

"I am definitely known for my loyalty."

Her mother had called her foolish for this. She had known. Long before Mirela herself could work up the courage to bring up the subject, her mother had known exactly what he was, the sign of the cross warding it off even as she whispered it. Strigon. A woman born with suspicion deep in her bones — she had learned these stories on her own mother’s knee, and there had been no convincing her otherwise. But that had not been the moment she cut her daughter out of her life, neat as the bruise in the flesh of an apple. No — that had been in the damning silence that told her mother she already knew. And that she had chosen him regardless.

Perhaps she was foolish for this. She had invited Death through her door; did she truly expect to remain unscathed? Something is wrong with him this evening. Something has chilled the air in the room, drawing goosebumps over her skin. Dare she ask? Would he tell her, even if she did? He extends a hand between them, and the choice is made infinitely more simple. Either she wants him — or she doesn’t. But wanting him would always come with a risk.

She takes the step needed to reach him. Places warm fingers within his grasp, cold. ❛ Mat — what is it? ❜

She'd clocked him as soon as she walked in. Or at least, clocked him as Other, given the pained look on his face whenever the barista called a new name. It was just her luck the last available seat was at his table - and she'd stared down the college kid who was also eyeing the spot until he'd conceded.

"Thank you so much, I appreciate it." Hartley slides into the seat opposite him, the picture of a young professional as she sets her coffee on the table. It's a double shit, and she can smell it from where she sits, so she can't imagine it will take long to tickle his nose. She also pulls her laptop out - Hartley had intended to work on an article, but watching him was much more interesting.

"I haven't seen someone reading a physical paper in a while."

[lcngdays-arc]

Positivity anon here! Could I ask you to shout out to your five fave blogs? Just to make someone smile today and let them know you love their blog! Maybe even say a little about why!

Hello Beloved Positivity Anon! Sorry for the late reply, I don't get much done during the week, but the weekend is where I thrive! Now, it's hard to pick JUST FIVE FAVES. So I may have included a few more <3

@plcasantnights // While Corpse isn't active on tumblr anymore, he's still my absolute best friend ever. I love him with my whole heart and we've written countless stories together, we've met irl multiple times, and I just. Don't have enough good to say about this man. An incredible writer, a patient and understanding person, and someone I trust with my whole, authentic self. Long days and pleasant nights, bestie. <3

@cxldblxxded / @yxkanna / @striigon // MOOP!!! A very cool writer with a very keen sense of character creation. I love reading about their silly little guys and I love talking with them ooc! I feel like I can throw any must at them from my EXTENSIVE roster and they're down for it, no matter how silly it is!

@handgiven // WHAT IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT KAI!!!!! emmanuel is SO sweet and SO precious and I hold him so dear in my heart. One of the few characters that can put up with my more annoying characters with a smile on his face, the way Kai is able to write such a beautiful, well thought out angel is incredible. I love reading the eloquence of Emmanuel and love seeing everything Kai puts on the dash

@fangmother // HI HUNTER HI HUNTER!!!! hunter is so fucking cool you guys. they have the coolest posts both ic and ooc and i light up each time they come on the dash with anything new. rainer is so cringefail girlboss and i don't care how many times hunter tells me i'm wrong to love her, i'm still GOING TO!!!

@freekzout / @hungryyheart // VIV MAKES ME NOSTALGIC FOR THE NINTIES AND I WAS BORN IN 1997 SO THAT'S WILD!!! everything about the worlds that Viv has created makes me insane. be it cute little vampiis or straight up government coverups viv is SO creative and so nice ooc! puts up with me even though i forget to answer dms a million percent of the time!! ALSO PUTS UP WITH ANGEL SO A HUGE PLUS RIGHT THERE

@burdenedwithfaith // every day it makes me insane that Prince isn't more popular on tumblr. i don't know anything about the series their character is from and yet and YET I am so so so INVESTED with him! I'm so invested with each little character moment and arc and I love writing with them to see where they're going to take it and take John!! even if you don't know the game their muse is from I highly encourage you to check them out because they're EPIC

@soulmissed // I haven't written a lot with Ruben (YET) but his character is SO well written. Ruben also always pops into my dms when I make a sad/venty post and checks on me and he has no idea how MUCH i appreciate that so i'm saying it here. thank you <3

@mr-pulvis // Ruth. Oh Ruth!!!!!! Ruth has known me since the beginning. Since I STARTED on tumblr! They have followed me through countless blogs, countless cringe, countless silliness and revamping and bad writing. I love Miles to death, I've always loved Miles, but Ruth doesn't get enough credit (from me at least!) for how cool and nice they are and how good of a writer they are. here's to many MORE years of knowing each other!!!

@pistolsister + many more blogs in their pinned! // Even though we've followed each other for a long time, we've only JUST started writing together. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN FULLY RESPONDED TO ANYTHING YET I DON'T THINK IT'S ALL IN THE QUEUE! but mille is very cool, very easy to bounce ideas off of and i love each and every one of their characters. SO well thought out, SO easy to write against and just a sweet person over all!

@wehavefoundthestars // EVE!!!! I LOVE OUR SLOWBURN BOYS!!!! But I also love writing with them with ANY of my characters! we're always in each other's dms after each response excitedly chatting away! a very fun person to write with and be around!

@lovepurposed // hi orion :3 orion and I are also a duo who have known each other for a long while. not as long as some of the people on this list, but we've always seemed to find each other on tumblr some way and some how, despite moving blogs or just falling out of certain fandoms. orion is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and I'm looking forward to writing with orion for a long, long time to come.

@amischiefofmuses // NEVER DID I EVER EXPECT TO FIND SOMEONE IN SO MANY OF THE SAME FANDOMS AS ME. homestuck, invader zim, undertale, hazbin, you NAME it we have it in common. magpie is SO fun to write with, and i think they're just RLLY COOL NGL AND SUCH A GOOD WRITER

@spokewar // MARCI!!!!! so good at writing it makes me insane that they even write WITH me. i followed them originally with sass and their sam winchester but things just blossomed from there into an epic scifi adventure with a little alien prince and obi-wan (AND I HAVENT EVEN SEEN STAR WARS LMAO) marci is super cool and super fun to be around and is a very comforting presence when i get worried about wanting to do something new!

@dumbthink // KC i have followed all over tumblr. i love writing with them, i love all the stories they create, i LOVE all their silly little characters and how well they can analyze LITERALLY ANYTHING!!!!

HONORABLE MENTIONS!!!!!
