HEPHAESTUS GIRLS

WARNING: grammar mistakes, sexual content! MDNI

Luke Castellan had always been a good kid, always being the perfect and favorite son of Hermes, he was the best influence at camp, he was perfection in every aspect, but she wasn't.

She was a troubled child, with different worlds creeping into her mind constantly, yet she was her father's favorite but she was the most difficult, she was the only daughter of the God of craftmen.

She was the polar opposite of him, she was quiet and always kept to herself with an emotionless face, he was sunshine and laughter, and the best swords man in camp, in centuries.

That night they had been paired up to patrol together, Luke couldn't quite remember how he ended up here but he was sure that he wasn't going to forget any part of it, one minute he was having a nice conversation with the girl he had a crush on then the next he was fucking her dump on the bathroom sink.

His pupils were completely blown out, his hair was messy, while a thin coat of sweat covered his forehead as his swollen cock fucked into her little warm cunt.

Luke's groans and moans could be heard echoing in the empty bathroom along with her little moans and gasps she couldn't hold in, the soft material of her shorts rested around her ankles as Luke's hands held her bend over the bathroom sink, only her oversized camp shirt that was probably stolen from one of her brothers covered her top.

It was a risky position to be in surely, but they couldn't care less, her cunt sucked in his fat cock willingly as he thrusted harshly giving her reddened ass harsh squeezes when the pleasure was too good, his hand prints were marked all over her soft skin.

Her cunt drooled all over his cock a white ring of cum formed around the thick base as Luke threw his heads back, his orgasm coming close to it's peak.

She sobbed and moaned watching him in the mirror with watery eyes, he looked beautiful he was a mess but a pretty mess, as his hips stuttered, he had fucked her through at least two orgasms already, he let out a deep moan as he came deep inside her, finally slowing down his pace allowing him to fucked his cum deep into her.

He reached his fingers down to her clit to rub rough circles around her sensitive nub, his warm cum resting inside of her and the simulation of his finders triggering another orgasm out of her.

Luke leaned forward resting his body on her's his eyes meeting her's in the mirror, he gave her a lazy smile before placing a loving kiss to the back of her head, "You have no idea how much I've been wanting to do that" he mumbled into her hair.

Edo period types of hakama pants, fantastic chart by Edo-lover Nadeshico Rin. You can see here from left to right, top to bottom:

Fundomi hakama 踏込袴 - pants with a narrow bottom hem, a type of nobakama (see below)

Tattsuke hakama 裁付袴 - pants tight below the knee, sometimes refered as "ninja pants" (= Iga hakama). Those were worn by many, from samurai to servants and craftmen.

Umanoribakama 馬乗袴 - lit. "riding pants", wide hakama with high gusset split legs for confortable horse riding.

Nagabakama 長袴 - formal trailing hakama worn by samurai from late Muromachi era.

Andonbakama - skirt-like hakama worn by Meiji period female teachers and students (hence why it's sometimes called onna bakama). A boy version appeared after mid-Meiji.

Yamabakama 山袴 - daily-life work pants with narrow legs and sometimes a gathered bottom hem. Name greatly varies depending on areas and time. A direct descendant of this style are women's monpe もんぺ.

Nobakama 野袴 - shorter hakama with black velvet hem, worn by travelling samurai. It was also part of firefighters' gear.

Hirabakama 平袴 - the "classic" ankle lenght men hakama pants, with a low gusset which means it looks nice when sitting (tailoring is hence different from the umanori, see above). Also called hanbakama 半袴, those were longer than the ancient kobakama 小袴 and shorter than formal trailing nagabakama (see above).

I need to talk about my headcanon that maybe, the cloak Siffrin wears is part of like, a tradition in his country. A ritual where the parents gift a piece of clothing that will always keep their kid comfortable.

Parents choosing the fabric and design by instinct, finding which "feel right", and initiating a long wish ritual during the pregnancy. Imbuing each stich with craft and wishes for their future child to always be comfortable and safe. Maybe not only the parents participate but also any family and friend that want to be part of that kid's life. Master craftmen whose job is to make sure the piece is correctly crafted and safe.

Everyone in this country having a comfort piece of clothing that can and will follow them forever, even when the people who made it for them are gone. I'd imagine they would also be cremated along with it.

Siffrin's cloak protecting him even when all the people who wished for his safety are gone and he can't remember them. Loop having lost even their clothes after their wish being that much heartbreaking.

Just. hhhhhh. The dialogue where Isa is like "the person who gave it to you must love you a lot" is forever cursing me

[urwendii]

Which is why I always like to hc Returned Maedhros with one hand only bc it means something to him and also because I hate the "fix-it" subtext in here's your new shiney hröa no more ugly scars that are bad to look upon. Obviously it depends on the choice of someone but in Maedhros' case because that one wound was done in a specific context and is so deeply linked to Fingon in so many way, idk I just want this to be a catalyst for him to be: healing of mind and body are different and actually accepting a disability is healing in its own way. *bats Estë's hand away*

I understand why Tolkien after seeing the horror of ww1 wounds, would want to create a post-war heaven where everything is fixed and brand new and there is nothing bad to remind anyone of the wartimes, But sometimes it falls in the ableist pit and it's too close of purity religious dogma.

Just take the little line about corrupted Maiar, the demonisation of them is so rooted in physical deformities (balrogs are the main examples), tolkien even goes so far as adding that the evil corrupted spirits of Melkor do stink a lot. Sauron whose beauty is so very much made A Thing but it is Fake and plays in the story as the corner stone of Decieving and Evil that he dared to appear as one beautiful and angelic: something treated as sacrilegious. Annatar is fair and all angelic sexiness and manages to deceive Celebrimbor and Co because Elves cannot picture beauty as anything other than Good. Same for the Valar. Melkor was said to be the Mightiest and beautiful in his own way until he becomes Morgoth and basically turns into a valarin equivalent of Henry the VIIIth, wounds included.

Almost every big tale of corruption and Fall is rooted in corruption of the physical appearance: Melkor and Sauron and Maedhros are the most prominent ones.

[ One detail that will never stop making me chuckle is how Eru's punishment for Sauron after Akkalabêth is to take away his ability to cloth himself in a fair form. My dude. Just put him in Naughty Maiar Jail idk? ]

Because the similarities between these two .... Maitimo The Well Made, the most comely Finwëan High Prince, the golden son, the Heir. Losing his "beauty" and Falling into disgrace and at the end killing himself (something about how the self choice of death is also considered Unnatural by the Valar, re: Míriel)

Mairon, the Admirable, the Greatest of Aulë's smiths before his Fall then ends up as a charred human form hiding in his tower, removed from all goodness and beauty.

*chews on concrete*

But back to Maedhros and other war survivors, I always imagine how strange it must have been in Valinor post war of Wrath, to those coming back wounded to Tirion etc and how those who stayed behind in Valinor must have looked at them. I'm talking about physical disabilities but PTSD has a larger impact imo, how do you readapt in a Land where nothing much changes, where everything now appears too bright, too polish, too perfect almost to the point of discomfort - when you have witnessed the sheer destructive powers of Ainur during the conflict.

Valinor must have felt like a beacon of hope once upon a time but I can understand why so many Noldor remained in Middle Earth. Going back to the Undying Lands isn't moving on, its entering a realm where your wounds both physical and mental are looked upon as the evidence of evil (done by and/or to you. Anyway you are marred and our Valar do. Not. Like. Arda. Marred) and a society that does not want to be confronted with the horrors of Beyond Its Borders.

Anyway I have ranted sorry but I have so much feelings about the place of Beauty in canon (HoME goes in details about this and it has made me feral)

Okay something something Maedhros being seen as a monster by other elves not just because he was a Kinslayer but bc he was disfigured and disabled something something ableism something something

in the "that's what bibo baggins hates" scene in the hobbit movie, when they are throwing the plates around and banging the cuttlery, bilbo complains that they are going to blunt the knives and one dwarf replies sarcastically: "ooooh, you hear that lads? he says we'll blunt the knives"

in another case of me reading way to much into a line to make it more interesting, i like to think that the dwarf is poking fun at bilbo because dwarves have such an ingrained understanding of craftmanship, blacksmithing, hardship of materials and metallurgy, plus insane dexterity regarding the manipulation of materials and artisanship that they know the precise tensile strength and ammount of force to apply to a blade before they even begin to make a dent on it, all the games they are playing while juggling plates and vases and bottles is them showing off their skills, of course they know what they are doing and of course they are not putting the tiniest crack on anything, these are born craftmen, they forged and shaped mithril, chill out bilbo, they are not blunting anything

Stone scarabs found in Eivissa (Ibiza), Balearic Islands. 5th-4th century BC.

The island of Eivissa has provided a large number of this type of amulets, especially in funerary contexts, accompanying buried people. They were made by the Punic, Greek and Etruscan craftmen in Egyptian, Oriental and Hellenic styles. Worn in contact with the body, they kept evil away or propitiated good, in accordance with their magical-religious beliefs.

Hallucinated: The crushing of her skull and the resulting severe injuries to her head cause Senritsu to have a speech-disorder, a starkly lowered vision in her left eye on good days, memory-problems and hallucinations. While she learned in therapy to sidestep her brain misfiring in stressful situations and causing problems in memory and speech by simply replacing the english words she can´t remember with fitting musical terms (in italian, france and german), she regulary suffers from hallucinations in extreme situations in the form of smelling apples . She is not aware that what she smells is death (her own or that of others), since she came so close to physical death herself. Been Forced To Flee Their Home: Traveling People always on the road or not, Senritsus group took camp around villages and at the edge of cities while looking for work. Although since the group had been discovered by the bodypart-collector-communitymostly consisted of robbing the cemetrys and thievery, but beside that there were a lot of craftmen in the group and they did often do handiwork in smaller communities. However, considering their not-so-honest-works the group often had to leave a place from one moment to another to avoid autorities. Or to avoid just plain racism.

Indulged in Petty Revenge: On her first Hunter-exam, Senritsu ran into Tompa. And that was the end of her first Hunter-exam. A year later she and Ask seeked him out before he reached the exam-place, stunned him with Senritsus Hatsu and locked him in a public Bathroom so he would not be able to join the exam. Senritsu takes much satisfaction from that.

can i learn more about the zombie thing? im interested :0

Sure!

The story is still in development, but I already have the background in mind!

*cof cof*

The city is divided into zones

- Safe zone

The busiest and most populated in the region, citizens are common there

- Lost zone

A part of safe zone a dark place that uses a lot of energy to illuminate, there it is used to build an underground city

- Ash zone

A factory that releases ash and goes into the illegal zone, highly accurate security that zombie corpses are found there every day poisoned by air toxicity

- Illegal zone

A place where only shooters are allowed, locates the battle arena where stickmans are kidnapped and forced to fight, To access there you need an exclusive invitation for each stickman and watch there as a spectator

- Outside zone

The place where the teams are to kill/study the zombies, the zombies behave like wild animals, they eat plants to avoid starving

The zombies are called Biters

Inhabitants are Shooters (bird-like machines guns beings that turn out to be sentient and the antagonists they have weapons like machine guns, lasers, knives and pistols, being able to easily kill a large horde of biters they're overpower), Teams (stickmans who leave the safe zone to kill/study biters sub-classified with: leader, brawler, medic, craftmen etc), citizens (normal people), outsiders (who comes from outside the nation for personal reasons), rebels, and homeless

The parasite is in most cases a female that infects the future Biter, these zombies can run, jump, have a bit of intelligence and each one has a different power (not overpower like shooters)

There is already a cure, which is to remove the parasite from the zombie, but there is a long way to go before the stickman population returns to normal.

Stickmans are varied features, and may or may not have hair, have characteristics of animals (wolf, dog, fox, bunny, cats, fish/shark, lizards, insects and fictional demons/angels/centaurs) or can be featureless

It could change a lot of things, it's a project still under development like everything else.

Seven Sins, Seven Virtues.

Since im not a christian, but was raised one, this is just my interpretation of the seven deadly sins and the seven heavenly virtues, and groups that best exemplify them in modern society.

SIN: PRIDE. Boastfullness, arrogance, self rightiousness, concietedness.

Groups: "Religious people", so people who have made being part of a religion (and for the sake of arguement atheism is counted as a religion) their entire identity and can and will make every moment about them and their religion. Influencers. Politicians.

VIRTUE: HUMILITY. Not placing yourself above others even when doing so would benefit your status in a group.

Group: Friendly anons. I know this is a weak answer but consistent humility is hard the minute someone knows anything about you.

SIN: ENVY. Desiring what others have.

Groups: Radical feminists. Communists.

VIRTUE: KINDNESS. Generosity and helpfullness without needing something in return other than possibly some gratitude.

Groups: Positivity blogs, suicide hotlines, Selfhelp youtubers, non profit organisations like Archive of Our Own.

SIN: WRATH. Constant anger and outrage.

Groups: Discoursers.

VIRTUE: PATIENCE. To accept that things take time, and not be angered that things take time.

Groups: Farmers, good teachers.

SIN: SLOTH. Intelectual and/or physical laziness.

Groups: People who seek normality, or define themselves by normality. Normality is at its heart a myth, everyone has some trait that makes them an outsider on some level, and to deny that requires a level of intellectual dishonesty not possible without forgoing thought altogether.

VIRTUE: DILIGENCE. To enjoy intellectual and/or physical labor.

Groups: Fanfiction writers. Fanartists. Tailors. Craftmen. Scientists.

SIN: GREED. To be driven by the urge to posses as much as possible without end.

Group: Those in charge of Google and Disney. Real Estate Collectors.

VIRTUE: CHARITY. To give up possesions without needing something in return.

Groups: Reputable charities.

SIN: GLUTTONY. To be driven by the urge to consume or use as much as possible.

Group: Proffesional gamblers, Extreme Sporters. People that badger others for pictures or art. The "ideal" Disney fans.

VIRTUE: TEMPERANCE. To be able to abstain from things you desire to consume or use.

Groups: Alcoholics Anonymous.

SIN: LUST. To be driven by desire itself, with neccesarily a need to consume or posses.

Groups: Stalkers. People obsessed with someone else.

VIRTUE: CHASTITY. To be able to let go of desire, or to live a life where desire is not the driving force. (This virtue is very much tied to sex, so ive had to adjust it so its ligns up better with my view on lust)

Groups: none that I can think of.
