@heartrendcrs said: "He's my father, but he's not my dad."

"three cheers to daddy issues, huh?" she lifts up her glass, tapping the bottom on the table before taking her shot. it goes down easy, something she attributes to her either her healing factor or irish heritage.

teagan shrugs as she sets her glass down. "my dad's been dead for a decade now and i still don't miss him."

" thirteen ?!? you know , i can eat but i think after like eight or nine i might just explode , " she teases , though the growl that rumbles through her stomach is definitely tempting her to see if she can make it to the finish line . " why don't we grab , like , six now for lunch and then take the other seven back to my place to have for dinner . . . we can crack open a bottle of wine , watch a movie , " the word watch used lightly — after a glass or two of pinot noir aria's attention starts to run quite thin . " but before we do that we have to head over to that book shoppe we went to last time , i need something else to read before i start driving myself crazy scrolling through instagram all day . "

My Rat God WIP is BACK baby!!!!

Rejoice, I'm returning to my original fiction roots- specifically my old WIP Rat God.

Oh, and here's an updated character list with some new details I'm considering adding alongside what I already had.

Professor Eden (he/him): An aging professor of [???] who raises sentient rats in his apartment. It's unclear whether or not he realizes they're sentient. Also he's depressed, autistic, and gay.

Teagan (they/them): One of the aforementioned sentient rats. The rat equivalent of a human teenager. Autistic and collects bugs.

Aunt/Uncle Jimothy (she/him genderfluid): Another rat and Teagan's sleazy "mentor". Imagine if Reigen (from Mob Psycho) was a reformed convict and felt like his only shot at redemption is to raise the child of a deceased sibling.

Doctor Stygian (he/him): I don't even know, I brought this character here from another old story of mine and I never really fleshed out his character. He's either a potential love interest for Professor Eden or they have VERY homoerotic undertones.

[toons-and-doom]

Hello, Eden! How are you doing today?

—☕ (Sincerest regards, Teagan.)

Omg Teagan from the hit game dandy’s world,,, hi!!! I’m well!! Dreading the start of school but we ball!!!

How are you!?? :0!!!

[ncc-42069]

Accurate Doctor Who synopses that sound like shitposts:

The Daemons: Taking advantage of a live BBC special, the Master tries to make a literal deal with the literal devil. The Doctor is taken prisoner by Morris dancers, but is rescued by a witch.

The Green Death: Giant maggots in Wales are an unexpected side effect of an evil AI's business plan. The Doctor feeds them mushrooms.

Planet of the Spiders: The Doctor accidentally causes the death of a stage psychic. Alien spiders subvert Buddhist meditation as a means of invading Earth.

Nightmare of Eden: The Doctor foils drug traffickers that are making a dangerously addictive chemical by electrocuting animals.

Meglos: To pull off a daring heist, a sentient cactus kidnaps a bank manager as part of a scheme to impersonate the Doctor.

Kinda: While the Doctor is locked in a cell with a telepathic jack-in-the-box, Teagan is menaced by evil wind chimes. Nyssa takes a nap.

Bloom

by Teagan Villarreal

Our love has finally been created

as we now live in a garden of Eden

with the flowers in bloom

we now both make room

for the love to each other we’ve given

I look into your eyes

I think they look like a meadow of roses

one that smothers

us two lovers

that lets us in, then closes

If and when we touch hands

a flower will bloom from our fingers

a color that’s light

with innocence in its sight

and leaves from it an aura that lingers

when I go home and lay in silence

I remember our time

when I gave you my heart

but the secret part

is that your heart is also mine

I love the love that’s bloomed

the madness of us two

I’ll care for our flowers

with all of my hours

because I’ve fallen in love with you

Authors note: Way back in I think January, I had a UIL competition and I was talking with My Muse when he requested a poem about love blooming. At the time I doubted I would actually do it since I don’t normally write positive poems. But last weekend I suddenly had inspiration to write this poem. I plan to give it to him tomorrow or Monday. One slight problem is, I don’t want him being weirded out when I give it to him and it’s directed like I’m talking about him. Other than that I’m honestly proud of this poem and I hope you like it 🫶🏼🪼💙.

[ginza-division]

"God seems to have left the receiver off the hook and time is running out."

Introduction

Juu Judice is the adoptive daughter of Masa Judice, the head priest of Eden no He Machi, and the leader of the Ginza Division team, Last Judgment. A high school student in her final year, this young woman shows herself off as being a pleasant and friendly person. Unknown to a select few, however, behind her nice and kind-hearted smile, this young woman is actually remorseless and has no qualms about spilling blood or taking a life if the situation calls for it.

Juu is a young 17-year-old girl with both average height and weight. She has darkish-blue hair that is in ponytails going down to her lower neck. Her eyes are often closed like Sasara Nurude, and only open when she is "excited". When they are open, her eyes reveal that they are brown with a "cross-shaped" iris in both. She also seems to have a permanent blush on both of her cheeks.

When she is at school, she often wears a typical school uniform: a short-sleeved white sailor shirt with a black ribbon and light blue and black trims, a bluish-black skirt, some long white socks, and a pair of black Mary Jane shoes. Also, for some reason, she wears a crown of beautiful flowers of different shapes, sizes, and colors around her head.

When she is out hunting, she changes into a dress that is akin to a maid's uniform. That is brownish-white and light blue with a large matching-colored ribbon around her neck. Her shoes and socks remain the same as the ones she wears for her school uniform. She also still wears her crown of flowers.

Name Meanings

Juu (じゅう) - Ten, 10

Judice - Americanized form of Italian Giudice, meaning 'judge'.

Aliases

"The Bane of Scorpion Den"

The Revered Father's Daughter

Personality

As stated, on the exterior, Juu is described to be a person who is very soft-spoken and gentle towards the people she meets. She is depicted as being reliable, charming, and altruistic. She possesses a "go with the flow" attitude as she accepts most situations without protest or complaints, although she does openly voice her dislike of boring situations. Despite this, she boasts tremendous popularity among the students in her class and year, making her one of the most well-liked in the entire school.

Her true self, however, is someone who harbors a much darker personality, as she is described to be "a devil with a kind face" by Oki Teagan, one of her father's teammates. Though she doesn’t like resorting to physical violence, she is not above using it as a last resort. In fact, she oftentimes wishes that her adversaries push her to the point because it gives her an excuse to hurt them, only stopping when they beg her for mercy. She is very sadistic, taking pleasure in others' pain and suffering, claiming that makes her want to laugh and cry at the same time. She enjoys the sight of blood, especially when it spurts out of her victims after she kills them. She also gets overly excited whenever she sees the color 'red'.

As stated, she is quite popular among her peers. In the eyes of them, Juu is considered to be someone who stands out from the rest, and that no one has ever seen her lose her composure. She may come off as egotistical and arrogant towards onlookers, however, this is also a frequent use of one of her tactics to establish control over the minds of those she has chosen. She also holds grudges but doesn’t exhibit them on the outside.

In contrast to her behavior at school and when she is hunting, Juu's usual behavior is fairly innocent, almost like a child's. She is sometimes seen singing her own version of children's nursery rhymes or frolicking around freely with absolutely no care in the world. Both Masa and Chimaki believe this is her way of suppressing the childhood trauma that she was inflicted with, or because she was never fully allowed to experience childhood as one.

Only a few things are capable of making Juu lose her composure and immediately revert to her "killing" state. The first is any mention of her biological parents, whom she utterly despises and detests to her core. The second is anyone who dares to insult her current father, Masa, whom she is utterly devoted and loyal to, and views as her actual father, more so than the ones she had in the past. Lastly, any mention of her eternal enemies, Scorpion Den; more specifically, the de facto leader of the group, Sumire Shinomiya, whom Juu has sworn to punish and kill.

Trivia

She has been in and out of foster care for almost her entire life. The reasons behind her leaving and then re-entering are unknown, as all of the files on her have mysteriously disappeared. She despises the system, for some reason.

'Juu Judice' is not her actual biological name. It is unknown what she was previously called, as she adopted a new name each time she was adopted, and her biological name cannot be located. Masa gave her his family name and then told her to choose a name that she was comfortable with. She chose the name 'Juu' because she loves the number '10'.

October 10th is not her actual birthdate but is the date that she chose as her birthday because it is the 10th day of the 10th month of the year, incorporating her love for the number '10'.

She has been diagnosed with OCD and Bipolar Disorder.

She finds flowers and gardens are the only things that can successfully calm her down in times of stress, which is why she wears a flower crown.

She is extremely fascinated with Max Soukoku of Kobe, which is another reason for her to hate Sumire, as Juu knows Max is interested in her, and believes that she is trying to keep her and Max apart.

OC Interview

Tagged by @natesofrellis & @direwombat for this oc interview thing, I decided to go with my Hanged Man fic plot and set it sometime before the events in my last chapter. I went with John to interview Teagan since he's SuPOSeD to be in charge of recruiting. (DO NOT TAG AS JOHN X DEPUTY PLS)

Tagged no pressure @hoesephseed @sstewyhosseini @ghastlyrider @noetikat @marivenah @simonxriley @confidentandgood @aceghosts @strangefable @harmonyowl @funkypoacher @wretched-mischief and anyone else, just @ me

John grins as proud and ignorant as the deputy expected, “I am pleased you are taking time out of your busy little job to answer some of my questions, and you will be on your way to call yourself a child of Eden’s Gate.”

“Your questions don’t make sense? Why would anyone need to answer these?” Teagan snapped as she flipped through the paper he had given her just before he sat down, “This can’t be for the Project’s records or whatever.”

With an annoyed groan and roll of his eyes, “Humor me.”

Name?

(Teagan sighs)

Teagan:  “Teagan Michelle Reyes.

John: “Cute.”

Teagan: “Ugh.”

Are you single?

(Teagan glared, cocking her head to the side) 

John: “Well?”

Teagan: “Not technically..” 

Are you happy?

Teagan: “Am I happy? Is this-”

John: “Yes or No?”

Teagan: “Pass.”

Are you angry?

Teagan: “I am calm right now, but I’m sure it’s not a secret about my anger issues.”

John: “Judging by your record and what your mother says, no, it’s no secret.”

Are your parents still married?

Teagan: “Yes.”

Birthplace?

Teagan: “Albuquerque, New Mexico.”

Hair color?

Teagan: “Dark Brown, almost black”

Eye color?

Teagan: “Brown.” 

Birthday?

Teagan: “March 26,.” 

(John sighs deeply and groans quietly)

John: “An Aries...”

Mood?

Teagan: “Annoyed, now.”

Gender?

Teagan: “Female”

Summer or winter?

Teagan: “Summer. The winters here are too much.”

Morning or afternoon?

Teagan: “I’m a morning person.”

=EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE=

Teagan: “I’m not having this conversation with you.”

John: “This is all decreet! I’m discreet! We love our people and want to ensure we understand them and know them as family.”

Teagan: “Ugh, fine.”

Are you in love?

Teagan: “Pass.”

John: “That’s not an answer, Deputy.”

Teagan: “And you’re getting on my last nerve, pass!”

Who ended your last relationship?

Teagan: “Mutual And that’s all I will say about that..”

John: “Interesting.”

Teagan: “Next question, please.”

Have you ever broken someone’s heart?

Teagan: “Yes and I will not discuss that here..” 

Are you afraid of commitments?

Teagan: “No.” 

Have you hugged someone within the last week?

Teagan: “Yes, of course.”

John: “Oh, who was your last hug?”

Teagan: “Your brother.”

(John with a Terry Crews expression)

John: “Ugh, next question.”

Have you ever had a secret admirer?

Teagan: ‘Yes. Have you?”

John: “Well, yes! When I was in law school-”

Teagan: “Next question.”

Have you ever broken your own heart?

Teagan: “I am only human. Who hasn’t.”

John: “That is true.”

=SIX CHOICES=

Love or lust?

Teagan: “Ugh.”

John: “Too personal?”

Teagan: “They can be the same, done properly.”

John: “Gross, forget I asked.”

Lemonade or iced tea?

Teagan: “Lemonade.”

Cats or dogs?

Teagan: “Both.”

A few best friends or many regular friends?

Teagan: “A few best friends.” 

Wild night out or romantic night in?

Teagan: “Both, but depends on the company.” 

Day or night?

Teagan: “Day, I like being in the sun as much as possible.”

=FOUR HAVE YOU EVERS=

Teagan: “You realize I am this close to walking out, right?”

John: “And if you walk out, this will have to just be rescheduled and be stuck together again?”

Teagan: “Ugh.”

Been caught sneaking out?

Teagan: “Once or twice.”

Fallen down/up the stairs?

Teagan: “Yeah, I’ve fallen down the steps at my parents. The stairs are too steep after a couple of drinks.”

Wanted something/someone so badly it hurt?

Teagan: “Yes..”

Wanted to disappear?

Teagan: “I’ve tried. Didn’t work out.”

=FOUR PREFERENCES=

Smile or eyes?

Teagan: “Eyes.” 

Shorter or taller?

(Teagan rolled her eyes and shook her head.)

John: “I’m gonna just put down ‘Taller’ since…”

Teagan: “Since what?”

John: “I was gonna point the obvious but how about instead since the Sheriff's Office clearly doesn't discriminate on height, what are you 5’2, 5‘4?”

Teagan: “What are you, 5’5?”

John: “Alright, next question..”

Intelligence or attraction?

Teagan: “Intelligence, but again, they can be the same thing.”

John: “I see.. Jacob’s intelligent.”

Teagan: “He is.”

Hook-up or relationship?

Teagan: “Next, question. That’s it with these personal questions.”  

=FAMILY=

Do you and your family get along?

Teagan: “We survive.”

Would you say you have a “messed up life”?

Teagan: “You’ve met my mother. The woman who is cruel and cold to me, but weirdly sweet to everyone else. I don’t wanna talk about it. Next question.” 

Have you ever run away from home?

Teagan: “I technically did. Then I ended up here.” 

Have you ever gotten kicked out?

Teagan: “No.”

=FRIENDS=

Do you secretly hate one of your friends?

Teagan: “I do.”

John: “Who?”

Teagan: “I can’t say.”

Do you consider all of your friends good friends?

Teagan: “I think so. I don’t have complaints.”  

Who is your best friend?

Teagan: “My Brother.”

John: “That’s… actually nice. My brothers are mine. Do you miss him?”

(Teagan sighed sadly)

Teagan: “Of course.”

Who knows everything about you?

Teagan: “Jacob.”

hitech lore post! whee ✈🎉

first here’s a lil lineup of all the currently canon hi-tech cityfolk in Ash & Dust! the twins Teagan and Kieran, Oleander, Trace, and au Reed who is @crownanother​ 's oc (and not fully designed yet)

i’m very good at namedropping terminology and not explaining myself, so under the cut is a lil rundown on what the hell a hi-tech is!! these guys are pretty notorious and relevant for the cast so they come up a lot lol

Hi-tech originated as a colloquialism referring to a collective of cyberpunk-dystopia cities local to the area A&D takes place. they're all built upon remnants of pre-apocalypse cityscape, and proudly claim to be the last bastions of the "high-tech" lifestyle of before. hi-techs are easy to identify by their sleek, lifelike cybernetics and intricate bodymods. at least in the (former) north american region, nobody else has this kind of technology and the hi-tech name is well-earned.

the cities host a gaudy, excessive culture with a focus on entertainment. to everyone else, hi-techs are known as egotistic, morally bankrupt frauds that treat everyone outside their walls as disposable, despite inexorably relying on the wasteland for resources. they have no regards whatsoever for the environment outside and cities are regularly surrounded by ecologically dead swampland. they treat the wasteland as a tourist destination to ogle poor outsiders - wastelander sentiments range from resigned tolerance to outright aggression.

against likely their only selling point of producing a high volume of art, hi-techs practice eugenics and regularly have trophy children that they sculpt into cyborgs. artistic vision for their children aside, they love blood sport and many kids are put into the pipeline at an alarmingly young age. they claim to be all about personal freedom and expression but their cultural pressure to continually, excessively bodymod just to be "hip" says otherwise, especially when its often parents making decisions for their preteen kids. Some folks are happy! most are not. all of the canon hi-techs above are delinquent from the city at this point - some left after disgrace from blood-sport (ie they killed civilians), the others left after a life of abuse and discontent. its possible for them to lead a life in the wasteland that they choose!

that’s not to say its all sunshine and rays of hope for hi-techs in the wasteland; many bandit types will capture and sell hi-techs to people like Cyanide and scrappers often have no qualms disassembling them in the field. its dangerous out there!! the wasteland as a whole - settlements, nomads, and rogues alike - has a pretty severe distaste for their neighbors trying to play overlord, but they’re (for the most part...) willing to recognize its the city and not the individual that’s such a toxic blight on the map. from an outside perspective, the cities are failing and will fall eventually. but in the meantime hi-techs are easy to hate and its hard to blame the runaways

i think that’s plenty! the story has little to do with Eden but they’re fun to develop 💖 despicable people the lot of em

as always ash & dust is a work in progress so don’t take this as gospel lol <3 anything is always subject to change.

bonus, here's concept art for Eden, the closest hi-tech city to the story's happenings! thanks for reading ✨

I love this, I'll use it to procrastinate talk about my OCs

Titan

I imagine he is a baritone with no concept of modern slang, but a fast learner and genuinely interested in people and street smarts.

Perfect grammar, adhering to older, outdated rules. A master of acoustics and enunciation. A foreign-looking accent that mixes real and made-up ancient civilizations from many worlds.

Orator voice, full and clear and loud, BUT soft spoken as he tries to not take up space nor come out too strongly on others. This gentleness balances his commanding voice. He secretly enjoys to draw attention and to be admired, though.

I compare him conceptually to everything "cats" so the sound of him raging, roaring or cursing might have that whole tiger thing in which it's heard from far away and could freeze you. 🐅

This also means he purrs, though? 🐈

Naturally emotional, but will mask it depending on the setting.

When singing he'd sound like this , but his natural voice doesn't let on the whole /punk opera-singer/ vibe. It's just a cool, foreign-y, orator voice.

Eden

Her "customer service/work" voice and persona is passionate and fruity. It's genuine, but also exhausting and loses power and edge the more tired she is.

A quiet, slow-talking and smoky voice when in more intimate settings or retreating into introspection. Rarely screams, rages, growls and huffs. If she does it you don't want to be the object of her frustration.

Has repressed emotions and it shows up in her controlled and monotone moments, resembling other cyberpunk heroines like Motoko Kusanagi. Or the whole Star Wars Rey thing about having an inner rage.

Stutters and trips on words — her voice can't keep up with the speed of her thoughts

Uses sports and technology slang to explain things.

Kallian Tabris

Abbreviates words, uses nicknames and made-up expressions. Appealing and emotional. Paused, singsong voice if you get to hear her for long.

Would be a meme and shitpost master.

Talks absolute nonsense when sleepy or tired. Teagan is a fan.

Absolutely no big or complicated words in her vocabulary. Takes her time to think and isn't afraid of silence.

My version of Bann Teagan

In-game he is very 'proper', formal and smooth. I didn't have the headspace to study and emulate his kind of heroic, noble/formal expressions and vocabulary, so he sounds more casual in my stories.

He also grumbles, mumbles, clicks his tongue, growls and hums a lot. Very vocal. It's easy to 'read' him by listening to his noises. If he's 100% silent, there's something bad going on w/ him or in the vicinity.

Knows many slangs and curses (tourney days!), but keeps most of them to himself.

Me

I click my tongue before I start talking

People say my voice is clear, modulated and calming. I mix Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and rural accents. Good luck understanding my English

I tend to tell some jokes or say absurd things in a dry and monotone tone so friends don't know it until it hits them

But if I want to laugh midway through a story or am excited to tell it, it gets nasal and cracks

question: how do you guys talk. like do you use a lot of slang? do you slur your words or annunciate carefully? do you tend to repeat yourself? do you swear a lot? is your voice very emotive or level and dry? stuff like that i'm curious

Titan and Eden

Titan and Eden tag

A Titan x Eden’s scene - writing

They’re mercenaries in a cyberpunk meets demons and fantasy world. Think Shin Megami Tensei with Mushishi, Cowboy Bebop and a dash of magic.

Titan is a demon or demigod (depending on whom you ask) living a reclusive life until a party of demon hunters accidentally crashes into his temple.

Among the invaders he finds Eden, who does a favor for him and his lair — at a great cost.

He feels compelled to thank her somehow, and decides to spend some time catching up with the human world outside as a new mercenary.

Chew and Yara, from the universe I'm naming "Butterflies"

An artisan (blacksmith and tailor) lives in a windmill workshop and finds a wounded woman in the woods.

Morthwyl (chew): The artisan. Extroverted, cheerful, chaotic energy between being very disciplined and devout (to work, spirituality) or just letting his home and shop implode.

Yara: A competent magic user and ranger/survivalist, lives and works in a monastery or guild of sorts. Starts doubting herself and her skills after a tough fight with an abomination in the woods.

An Ao3 one-shot with them (only in Portuguese-BR atm, though!)

Jacob and Cara

They’re also from ‘Butterflies’ as I want them to meet the folks above ⬆ eventually.

Most of my ladies have 4-word names! I think it’s cute and became like a game to pick only 4 word names

Anyway, it’s a water plant worker who meets a mermaid (more like a selkie) on a shoreline.

Cara and Jacob’s tag

I ‘publish’ their stories as descriptions for each new sketch, But the whole thing is also being set up on Ao3 ♥

Dragon Age

/takes a deep breath/

They're cool. *grips chair*

Guy on the left is an existing DA character named Bann Teagan Guerrin. I wrote and illustrated an enormous fic about them and loved going nuts about these characters and DA’s lore to make their story.

The woman is a city elf origin Kallian Tabris.

Ao3 fic Dragon Age art tag

Mount & Blade

My Mount & Blade family. Those are the siblings Niasen and Nara, from a place called Battania.

It was a story about them adapting to the new continents and finding a new family. There’s nothing public besides some illustrations and game screenshots, but I like them :)

Mount & Blade tag

-♦-♦-♦-

Most of my universes and stories are very… Comfy/fluff, despite visual depictions of violence, monsters. Lots of drama-free happy endings and resolved conflicts.
