OC Siren tag

Try my hand at starting a tag game, cause I think i have an interesting idea. Sirens are on my mind after Epic, so:

Sirens sing about what one desires most. So if you character encountered some Sirens, what would your character see/what would the sirens sing about? this can apply to your Fanfic or OC works, methinks

i'll start:

Tira: Tira would definitely hear or see peace, with her family and Lilli, and the rest of her Chapter, too. i think, mostly Lilli.

Lilli: of knowledge. infinite knowledge. like a library, that contains all the knowledge possible.

Camellia: Camellia denies it but she really wants her childhood back. she would see a life with a mom who loves her, before she had any of her duties.

Erain: Erain would see just one thing: home. Mom, dad, siblings and Fiancé- that's the dream for him, after the War.

I kept it kind of basic but i think it has potential.

Y'all, I am having a friggin' blast writing this patreon extra of re-writing the first-meeting scene but from Misha's POV instead! 🤣

I'm going to have to make rewriting something from a different POV an option on all the monthly extra polls from now on because this is amusing the hell out of me.

All this about not getting to see John Lennon on twitter but I think the real tragedy is that Freddie Mercury never had an instagram

Thank you for the tag @the-golden-comet! i know its not Friday anymore, but I was busy. apologies.

I wrote this at like 12 at night 'cause I didn't have a kiss scene written, but i needed to write this scene anyway. its scuffed AF and a little long, but fuck it we ball. Taglist: @aesthetic-writer18 @the-ellia-west

Also, happy pride month

"See you on the other side." my grip tightens on the lantern as i step towards the gate. it opens with a groan, revealing the pale white fog of the Spirit Grove. "Don't die." Tira's voice is somewhere between optimistic and anxious, and i wave one final time before disappearing into the mist.

The fog is like a heavy blanket that covers the forest. i cant see far at all, and the lantern does nothing to part the mist. beyond the threshold of the gate, I'm at the whims of the forest, and the Spirits that reside within. if i live- if i make it out of the forest, I'll be a knight. Big if. without the sky, i can't tell how much time has passed, and the fog makes it impossible to make out where i am.

I'm lost. that's about the only thing I'm sure of. just a few moments ago, i was confident. but now i know no amount of reading could've prepared me for the Lantern rite. A sudden rush of fear blooms inside me.

i hate being unprepared. i hate not knowing.

my knuckles turn white on my lantern as i keep walking, without any particular direction in mind. i just walk, hoping and praying to Wendarr that I'll find... something. the fog is oppressively claustrophobic and deathly silent except for my footsteps. the sudden snap of a twig causes me to draw my sword, wildly trying to locate the source of the noise.

"are you here for the Lantern Rite?" a soft voice sounds from behind me and I turn one-eighty, ready for a fight. the tangy smell of magic wafts over me as a white-haired...fae? no; there aren't any Fae in the grove. this must be a spirit. he-she- they're slim, dressed in pale white fabric that seems to blend into the fog around us. in fact, the only thing that separates them from the fog are two faintly glowing golden eyes and their wings: brilliant iridescent wings that look like shards of broken glass that protrudes from their back "yes." I answer warily, relaxing my stance.

"then i have something to give you." she holds out a small blue shard. "put that-" "in my lantern." I finish. "very good." the Spirit steps closer, putting the shard in my hand. "my name is Flur, O warrior. may i be graced with yours?" "Lilliwiess." Flur. it hits me then: they're choosing me.

The spirit smiles. "i shall remember it." I blink and they're gone- replaced by two shortswords embedded in the ground. i carefully extract them and clip them to my belt.

"the shard, Warrior, so you may guide us out." Flur whispers directly into my mind. the feeling of someone else's thoughts inside my head feels strange, but not invasive

"do i just... think back?" I try to project my thoughts, trying to figure out the telepathic bond, and i can feel Flur wince through it.

"not so loud," Flur murmurs as i place the crystal shard in my lantern and the flame turns a blue, casting a pale white beam that parts the mist infront of us. "sorry." I say sheepishly, trying to get my bearings. after a few minuets of confused wandering, i find a banner hanging from the tree. a few minuets later i find another- a set of trail markers that i follow untill i find myself back at the tall gates i entered through.

"shine the light on the the emblem, Warrior." I cast the light onto the emblem, causing the emblem to glow. with a low rumble, the Gate opens into the courtyard.

the moon is high in the sky, providing a faint amount of light across the courtyard and the celebrating Cadets- no, Knights. we've made it through the Lantern Rite: we're officially Knights. "Lilli!" Tira bursts from the crowd and runs to me, taking me in a tight embrace. "you were in there for so long." "was i?" i blink. time doesn't flow the same within the grove compared to without. "when i went in and came out, you still weren't back. i thought you..." I crane my neck to look at her anxious face. "you were inside the grove for more than two hours. i thought you died." Death during the lantern trials is a rare but very real possibility... but I couldn't've imagined that Tira, of all people, would be concerned over my wellbeing.

Our eyes meet. all of a sudden her lips are crashing against mine and the next thing i know, Tira's leaning over me, her face pressed against my own in a deep, passionate kiss. My eyes go wide at the unexpected kiss, but my nerves vanish in a instant. Her mouth feels divine. What the fuck else am I supposed to focus on? "i-I'm, sorry, I shouldn't have-" She begins to pull away and i chase her, seeking the sensation again, and she obliges without hesitation. the height difference becomes very clear for a moment as i strain to reach her and she has to lean down slightly for me.

When the kiss finally ends, I'm cherry red and out of breath, but despite that i've never felt better. "i love you." Tira whispers. "do you- I-" "yes." i say, joy bubbling inside me as i rest my head against her chest. "yes, yes, yes." The moment passes as the gong sounds the end of the Lantern rite. Tira glances around, presumably looking for our squad, and, consequently, our Chapter. "you look exhausted." Tira notes. "I'm a bit tired." my eyelids begin to droop as the ordeal suddenly catches up to me. "actually, sleep sounds great." Tira laughs softly, leaning down and swiftly picking me up. "lets get you to the lodge. it's been a long day."

Scary Sunset.

I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.

Harmony Syndrome Part 5/5

The last chapter of my mlp infection AU! Thank you to everyone who followed along. Some final thoughts on my twitter @cracklewink if anyone's interested : )

[icannotgetoverbirds]

help me escape homelessness and live with my lover!

If you can't help me with donations, reblogs are always appreciated!

Also I have hella bad waiting mode anxiety that is made better by knowing what to expect after what I'm waiting for happens, so if anybody wants to tell me how this process will go, I would greatly appreciate it.

Bonus points if you give me some ideas in the notes of mundane things to do with my wife!

Lets get started!

1. What is one hobby you have that may surprise others?

Lilli: "I weave. People aways find that surprising 'cause my hands are soft."

Tira: "uh... I play the guitar! I don't come off very musical, though."

Camellia: "Singing." *Lilli laughs* "What?! Cheverouse likes it too."

Erain: "Hobbies? man... Its not really a hobby, but I dooo bake."

2. What is one possession that you would not part with under any circumstances?

Lilli: "this pendant. It's the only thing i have from my mother."

Tira: "hmm... oh! Probably this

Camellia: "don't be ridiculous."

Erain: "one thing? Practically, the E.S.K- but if we're talking personal belongings, this little doodle that my baby sister drew before i left. I keep it right here, in my shirt pocket. For good luck."

3. What is one supernatural ability you wish you had?

Lilli: "healing."

Tira: "Flight! well, i guess its not really a wish anymore."

Camellia: "Foresight, i guess."

Erain: "healing. by far the most useful, in my eyes."

4. Who do you trust the most?

Lilli: "...Millie, my sister."

Tira: "the most? mmm... Lilliwiess is a contender, for sure. I think she's number one, actually."

Camellia: "is 'myself' an acceptable answer? no? fine... i guess anyone in my squad, then."

Erain: "Jayson. He's a good leader."

5. Where would you like to live, if you could choose?

Lilli: "with Tira, so probably Eastern tarn."

Tira: "With Lilli! ...she said with me, didn't she."

Camellia: "spite." *Tira and Lilli both laugh.* "of these two fuckers. i swear."

Erain: "Family. gotta keep pushin' for them, y'know? its the least i can do after everything they've done for me."

How much water do you drink on average?

Lilli: "uh... alot. im not sure. I drink when I'm thirsty and after sparring, so..."

Tira: "oh, probably... 4 liters? rough estimate? that feels like alot, is that a lot? I'm probably totally wrong."

Camellia: "fuck if i know."

Erain: "based on the amount of excercise we do as knights, probably alot. i'd say alot, though, mabye somewhere in the ballpark of 3-ish liters."

Favorite phase of the moon and why?

Lilli: "mmm... Full. its majestic."

Tira: "...I dont like the moon, actually. it.. has some bad memories. so New moon, i guess?"

Camellia: "probably half moon. I was born under a half moon."

Erain: "Half moon, mostly for practical reasons... it gives light on a good night. Plus, it's damn pretty to admire."

Who's your favorite person and why?

Lilli: "Tira. why is this a question?"

Tira: "...Why is this a question...? my answer's obviously Lilliwiess, but..."

Camellia: "favorite person? fuck me... Cheverouse isnt too bad."

Erain: "uhhhh.... My baby sister. she's just... so cute."

Didn't know what to draw so I doodled a lil bit of everything on my mind :D

[fantasy-things-and-such]

Thanks for the tag @the-golden-comet!

My questions:

1) Do you know how to dance?

2) What’s your least and most favorite season?

3) Do you have any unusual fears?

Tira’s back for more questions!

1) I do, actually. It’s a style of Stage dancing traditional to Eastern Tarn, called Nichibotsu. I’m not great at it, but I know how.

2) favorite season? Spring, easily. Everything’s so pretty in spring. My least favorite season is Winter. Because Lilli doesn’t like Winter.

3) … not that I can think of, actually. Wait, nope. I hate caves. I’m not claustrophobic! But I- even the thought of being so far underground is horrifying.

Your questions:

- what’s your second favorite animal?

- what’s something you used to like doing, but don’t anymore?

- Do you have any unusual talents? If so, what are they?

OC Questionnaire! 👑✨

Thanks for the tag, @mysticstarlightduck !

My questions:

Do you know how to dance? If so what kinds?

What's the season you hate the most? What's your favorite season?

Do you have any unusual fears?

Your questions: The same 💛✨

This time, I’ll bring out Prince Benjamin from Peter Hart to answer these:

I was trained in classical ballroom dancing, though I do know how to tango quite well. I can waltz nicely, I’d like to think.

They’re all bloody awful in their own ways. Summers are sweltering, winters are rainy and gray. The trees in spring are hornier than Peter, and in the Fall they’re just as sappy. I guess if I had to pick the least horrible, fall isn’t too bad.

Oh dear. Sharks. And whales. Any large sea creature, mainly. (shivers)
