thought you’d want to know @syneester made an animatic for you guys! You should totally check them out on yt by searching up their tag!

HAHA, no worries no worries, you're good!

Not gonna lie, I think we owe about 90% of our new readership to @syneester and the absolutely incredible TAMN animatic they made for us. We STILL can't get over how good it is. Every time I open up YouTube it's the first suggested video on the front page, and EVERY time I'm like "well it'd be a shame NOT to watch it again." I'm obsessed <3 <3 <3 🔒

lee!aether

ler!tighnari

(theres not alot of tickling but um. 💔)

Tighnari sighed as he looked at the other, who was currently laid out on the small cot they kept in the infirmary. He thanked the archons that Collei had found the well-known Traveller on the paths of the forest momentarily after he had passed out. He was waiting for him to awake before he did any serious examinations, but from what he saw from glancing along the vital areas he could say with confidence he’ll be fine. (Atleast, that's what he told a worried Collei..)

His ears straightened up immediately when he heard Aether stirr, his eyes fluttering half open with a groan. He moved to sit up, too quickly he may add, pressing a hand to his temple.

Tighnari stood up and moved over to his side, gently placing a hand on his shoulder to steady the fragile figure. “Hey, easy..” he murmured soothingly, his voice filled with concern. “Collei tells me you took quite a fall. Are you dizzy at all?”

Aether paused for a second, processing the recent events. “..um, a bit, I think?"

The fox thought for a moment, before reaching for the cup of water he had prepared when the other was brought in. “Here, take a sip. It’ll help with the lingering dizziness.”

“Thanks..” The blonde spoke, taking the glass with both hands in fear it’ll spill. He took a slow sip, blinking away the blurriness in his eyes. Tighnari nodded, taking the glass back with ease. “Now.. more importantly, do you remember what happened?”

“Yeah, it.. just..- sorry.” He chuckled, trying to speak and form his thoughts into words at the same time. He was still adjusting, after all. “I was looking for materials, these flowers. I think I just stood up too fast, and I started to see black dots.. yknow?”

Tighnari listened attentively, his brows furrowing with concern as he pieced together what happened. “Hm.. I’ve heard that a few times, actually. Well.. that isn’t surprising, because I assure you I’ve heard it all.”

Aether laughed softly, “I’m sure you have, ‘nari.” As he was talking, he shifted himself to sit facing the other.

“But.. It sounds like you're describing a combination of a sudden change of position and low blood sugar. Can I ask the last time you’ve eaten?”

“I-.. huh.” He began to speak before cutting himself off, thinking for a moment. “Yesterday.. midday-ish?”

Tighnari sighed, his ears twitching. “Now, that plays a part of the problem. You have to make sure you're taking care of yourself before you go out on your adventures, or things like this happen.”

“In my defence, I wasn’t ad-.. Okay, okay.” He paused when he looked up to see Tighnari staring at him with a specific look, putting his hands up in defence.

“So, what now? You’ve given me your little lecture, I'm not dizzy anymore.. I can go, right?” He said as he let his arms fall to his sides, leaning forward a bit.

“Hah, funny.” Tighnari half-scoffed, standing up straight before continuing. “I still have to make sure you're completely okay, physically. It's one of the many, many rules here.”

“Is that necessary? I mean.. aren’t you a botanist?” Aether tilted his head in confusion, a part of him trying to convince Tighnari to forget about the technicalities.

“Oh trust me, I know.” He huffed, turning to pick up a piece of paper behind him. “I majored in botany, and helping people grow a brain is not my area of expertise.”

“Rude, but fair.” Is all he replied with, watching as the fox turned back around with the said paper in his hands as he skimmed the information. “So.. You fell, which means I have to check your head, and limbs. Fun, right?”

“I’m ecstatic right now, can’t you tell?” Aether said in a deadpanned tone, glancing off for a second before returning his attention to the other. “Yeah? Well, maybe It’ll convince you to take better care of yourself.”

“Okay.. tilt your head down for me.” Not giving him a chance to reply to his comment, he carded a hand through the other hand in search of any dried blood or cuts. “A headache is to be expected.. but are you experiencing any other sort of pain?”

“Not really.” He shifted slightly, but stayed mostly still. “If you mess my hair up, you're redoing it.”

Tighnari simply laughed at his comment, rolling his eyes. “Uhuh..” However, Aether barely heard him and was more focused on his hand. The soft touch travelled to the back of his head, dangerously close to the back of his neck. In response, his back tensed up as he tilted his head back up. “Sohorry- it just felt weird.”

The other looked at him with a knowing look, a smug smile forming on his face. “Just weird?” He asked, before picking up the paper again and jotting something down. “Mhm.”

“I’m sure.. put your arms out.” Aether did as he was told, holding his arms out with his wrists facing up. “Any pain?”

“No- ow!” He yelped, pulling his arm back as soon as Tighnari began gently squeezing starting from the top. “Okay, a little pain.."

“Hm..” He hummed, inspecting the area. “It’s only a bruise, no need to fret.”

“I wasn’t, you just scared the shit out of me-hah! - Nahari!” He yelped as he felt a hand squeeze his side, jolting back. “Watch your language, I’m not sure where Collei is.”

“Obviously not here- wait! Sorry, I'm sohorry!” he gasped as the hand inched closer again, causing him to giggle in anticipation.

“That's what I thought. Now, stay still. You're squirming a awful lot for somebody who wants this over and done with.” Tighnari said smugly, continuing down his arms before leading them to lay down to his torso.

“Everything seems okay.. Can you stand?” He moved back so the traveller could get up, watching as he stood with ease. “Hm.. No, don't think so.” Aether replied, looking at Tighnari with a faked look of confusion.

“You're hilarious.” All the other said in response, rolling his eyes half-heartedly. “I know, right? Am I as funny as Cyno, Tighnari?”

“hah.. you're just as immature as he can be, Aether.”

“But you still laughed~” Aether teased, crossing his arms over his chest with that stupid, smug smile on his face.

“I can think of a couple of ways to make you join me.” He said in a calm and collected tone, watching as the other stuttered slightly at his words. “Oh, so now you're a comedian?”

“Did you think that I’m joking?” Tighnari looked up with that glint in his eyes, before writing a few more things down that Aether couldn’t be bothered to snoop at.

“Annd.. done. You're free to go.”

“..What?”

“I said you're done. Apologies for holding you up.” He said, folding the paper and setting it on the chair. “But you said that-..”

“What? Were you expecting something, perhaps?” Aether huffed under his breath, glancing away momentarily to collect himself. “Tighnari.”

With a laugh, Tighnari rolled his eyes and took a step closer. “I’m kidding, I'm kidding.. come here."

“..Stop looking at me like that.” He replied but still took a step forward. “Well, you just asked me to tickle you, so I have to look at you some way.”

“I did nohot-!” He yelped softly when he felt sharp nails scratching up his hips, unfortunately Tighnari was careful not to dig into him.. which in response just produced a barely-there tingling sensation.

He flinched forward, deciding if he was gonna end up falling over he’d drag the fox down with him. After jolting into the other’s hold, he pressed his face into hiding. this is his fault after all. Him and his stupid nails, and smug smile.. Aether was gonna get him back, just.. not right now. Convenient, right?

“Don't deny it,” He laughed softly at Aether’s attempt, pressing his thumb into the back of his ribs as his fingers wiggled into the front of the bones. “You definitely did.”

“Thahats- nohot fair! Yohour a liar! Lying!” He wailed, his frantic giggled morphing into intoxicating laughter at the change of spots. “No need to be so defensive.. Laughing is good for you, actually. When you laugh, it relieves your stress re-”

“I dohohon’t cahahare!” Aether cut him off, his hands finding Tighnari’s wrists and holding them in place. Tighnari simply sighed, before moving his nails to spider down his stomach. The movement resulted in a sudden cackle, ceasing any backtalk entirely.

“As I was saying before I was interrupted..” He said with a tone of fake annoyance, before continuing to speak on the matter. It only lasted a minute, maybe two, before Aether pushed at his chest as hard as he could in his position.

“so- oh, hello again. What's so funny?” He asked with a knowing tone, stilling his hands momentarily. “I.. hahahahate yohohou..” He giggles, taking in heavy breaths of air.

“I’m sure you do.” Tighnari chuckled, “but here you are."

“sahahadly, yes.” He sighed happily, his relief cut off before the soft touch started up again and scribbled along his mid-back and up his spine.

The gentle sensation sent shivers through his body, rocking himself left to right slightly to try and rid of them. "yohohour nails ahare hohorible, by the wahay."

"For you, maybe. I can see why, it would be a lot bearable if they were shorter." Tighnari assessed, drawing soft circles with his fingertips.

"noho shihit," Aether replied sassily, but his rapid giggling made sure it came off with no ill intent.

Soon enough the fingers came to a stop, replaced with a palm rubbing the ghost tickles away. "Hm.. Well, I can't let you laugh too hard.. you could get lightheaded. You've had enough, surely?"

"yohour cruehehel.. yes."

[claramullner]

…holy fuck. Welcome back, Clara. Seems I’m not the only ghost around here anymore.

!!

Old Mr. [REDACTED]!!!

You are stuck here?

How did you beat the system again?

[magdaclaire]

we as a society need to be more abundantly clear about the fact that nothing a stranger does in public will ever be as cringe as you filming a stranger in public in front of God and everyone and posting it without their consent

[artwithoutblood]

what animal is syn based off of?

he's based on a cutthroat eel!!

[the-moon-pal]

[synamartia]

Just letting yall know I'm gonna combine all nine parts of Smutmus into a singular story (director's cut and part ten included). Working on it right now~! Get everything you might need for the next few hours cause you won't be able to walk when Alastor and I are done with you 😈😈💋❤️‍🔥

[syn0vial]

YES. YES. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

[vtm-nightcity]

Hey, hey!! I would love to know 3, 5, 13 and 41 for Syn if possible? 😇

3) Are they more “traditional” or do they break barriers?

Not in the conventional sense - she operates out of her own box, breaking rules where needed. She is a firm believer in the "ends justify the means", but only if she doesn't get caught. But she fiercely upholds the internal traditions passed down through her Serpents of the Light (Cobra) bloodline, reinforced by her sire and her sire's Cobra cell and Sabbat pack. 5) Who is their sire?

Syn's sire is an Elder Cobra (and a former Setite), known online as "Copperhead" who leads a Cobra cell operating as a hacker collective. Copperhead was born long before any modern advances in North Africa and Embraced into the Followers of Set but lost faith in their teachings and split from the Followers, refusing to worship Set as a god and went into exile. After centuries, her paths crossed with a Sabbat pack priest, a Lasombra who introduced her to the teachings of Caine and the Sabbat. There, she met some of the progenitors (also former Setites of the Serpents of the Light, a new group forged under the weight of oppressive colonialism on Caribbean plantations of the New World, particularly on the island of Hispaniola. Today, in modern times, the Serpents of the Light occupy every corner of the globe in every country, Embracing any they deem worthy into their ranks which means being useful in their underground criminal operations. Copperhead leads a Cobra cell as part of a larger Sabbat pack which coordinates with other packs to operate underground criminal enterprises, including a blood (and blood doll) trafficking ring. The cell uses their techniques and skills to hide all digital traces of the pack's cybercriminal operations.

While still human, Syn was a no-name, operating under the guise of a "male" hacker (i.e. using male names/aliases/handles) who frequented Dark Web forums finding ways to make money using her programming skills she picked up as a compsci student dropout. She was prized for tools, in particular, her botnet which she licensed out for other cybercriminals to use. That's what caught the eye of Copperhead.

Impressed with her work, she approached Syn online and recruited her for a new project, promising she'd be well paid. For over a year Syn worked, writing malware and specific exploits, and deploying her custom botnet which enjoyed widespread use.

And she was never compromised until she finally was.

Copperhead got wind of a comms breach with law enforcement/gov authorities as a likely culprit and sent a warning to stand down and 'go dark'.

After months lying low off the grid and silence from her online contacts, Copperhead reached out to meet her in-person reward her with a gift and a promise that she would never get caught again.

That night, Syn was Embraced in the throes of Ecstasy, simultaneously horrific and beyond orgasmic.

13) Was their embrace painful? (Either emotionally or physically)

Syn's Embrace by Copperhead (who was an advanced adherent of the Path of Ecstasy) was extremely physically pleasurable, beyond mortal limits, but it shattered her emotionally and mentally, destroying her iron-clad guard which shielded her from the toxic denizens of the criminal underground, most with sociopathic and psychotic tendencies. This stripping of her emotional/mental fortitude allowed her sire to remake her in her image as a fledgling member of the SoL bloodline into which she was Embraced.

41) Would your OC switch their clan if given the chance? Why or why not?

No, Syn is too emotionally bonded to her sire engendering an unbreakable loyalty (also known in SoL). Syn is staunchly loyal to her sire's cell members (also childer of her sire). This tight bond enables them to operate as a cohesive formidable backbone of the Sabbat pack they're a part of and of which Copperhead also leads as Ductus.

Other members of their pack consist of other antitribu clans in addition to a Lasombra presiding as pack priest who ensures the pack is in good standing with their domain's ArchBishop.

------------------------ May have written too much, many attempts to summarize as much as possible from my long winded backstory writings..were made.

[synesthete-sylke]

more people should ship scott and mumbo. i have so many thoughts on them they would be so good for each other

they're so silly, honestly-

feel free to try and convert me lol i think they'd be cute, esp with how scott flirts with everyone and mumbo just crumples under any compliments

[lunarcrown]

Hello, I'm just getting into your HTP AU and I'm loving it so far! (though I feel really sad for Tango u.u) I was just wondering if Dr. Atlas is a hels version from someone else we already know? or is he an Oc? have you drawn his overworld version?

Hello!! WELCOM TO THE PIT (obligatory timmy picture again for u)

Doctor Atlas is an OC! We figured it would be better to MAKE a baddie vs demonizing a already beloved character HAHAH

I have not draw his overworld besides vague sketches that are buried on some unnamed layer, but I’m sure I could dig them up sometime if you’re curious!

[syngularitysyn]

Hello, thanks for writing one of my favourite fics!! I made a cover inspired by it. I hope you like it 😊

Wowww, thank you!!

I love that image of android Clarke. Her skin in different sections like that with invisible seams when it's all in place is exactly how I pictured it.

[claramullner]

m- miss clara?? auntie clara?

i never thought i'd see you again. i thought i'd never get the chance to thank you for giving me my best friend.

you have no idea how much he misses you- how much WE miss you. i hope that wherever you are, you can see alex, because i know you'd be so proud of him.

Is that...? Haley!!! Oh you... you have grown so beautiful!!

<Syn here: Hope you don't mind if I add some of my own little headcanons!!>

I remember you and Alex playing together when you were both so young...

Oh I am so happy to hear that you and him still remain close! Even after he had made you play with him in those old sunflower fields! Your dress and pigtails were stained from the grass...

You two loved and would compete with one another on who can gather as many flowers as possible and hand them to me.

Are they still your favorite? I remember reading to you and Alex about their meaning and you loved what it meant. "'Sunflowers are often given as gifts to express love and admiration. Their ability to track the sun's movement throughout the day can represent staying true to one's values'"

You always did strike me as someone who would remain true to yourself and exhibit strong resilience in being so confident and assertive in who you are.

I see that it remains true.

You don't need to thank me Haley. I should be the one to thank you. For everything. For still being by Alex' side through every thing he has endured.

Another eye roll as she reaches for her clutch on the dresser behind him. “Focus, Joel.” She swats him in the chest with the clutch. “Let’s go drink ourselves into the new year.”

for every "🌹" received in my inbox i'll post one random sentence of a random WIP i'm currently writing

[artwithoutblood]

Does Syn only eat humans or does he eat anything else besides that? Did he ever try human food or is he missing out?

He eats other larger animals and eats from whale falls. Scavenger. Humans don't come down that deep, so he's never really eaten any past the three he killed as a warning.

He's never tried human food. Can it last down there in the depths?
