( Have I ever been quiet or stopped responding to you when things are chill and you're worried about it? I'm here to tell you it's absolutely one of three things:

I've convinced myself that I've said too much/weirded you out/can't ask for something because it's too weird or 'demanding'/etc so I have slunk into the shadows and am leaving you alone (aka I'm being too much)

I don't know how to add onto the conversation without 'making it about me' or my stuff and I don't like feeling like I'm taking all the attention (also being too much but in an attention-seeking kind of way)

You went quiet or responded in a way my brain reads as 'upset with Sketti' and my RSD has taken that as 'oh we've done something wrong, time to fawn and cower' (bUT THIS IS RARER AND I DO MY BEST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING)

My brain is my worst enemy and it often makes me think I'm bothering you just by existing. I'm working on this! But unless the secret fourth option of 'Sketti is exhausted/something happened and drained all her social ability' also crops up, these are pretty much guaranteed to be the reason I've gone quiet during an OOC interaction LMAO

I'm also seriously awful at one-on-one IM interactions for a long-ass time when we first start talking sorry about that )

[Hello! Mun behind Jaime here! A lot of this post will be canon information mixed with speculation, personal headcanons, and/or altered information to fit the universe that Jaime is a part of! Because of this, non-canon information will be denoted with blue text!]

Okay! I promised I would write that post about Sigilyph lineages but I thought that it was important to preface that with an equally important history lesson combined with the introduction of the standard Sigilyph.

So, without further ado!

The Traveling Sigilyph

Perhaps the most recognizable appearance of the Pokémon, the Traveling Sigilyph is by far the most common and well-known shape this species takes. Largely considered the “standard” breed, Traveling Sigilyph can be found all throughout the western world as they aren’t a specific lineage and therefore aren’t genetically connected to a single space.

But funnily enough, Traveling Sigilyph are not solely named for their widespread population. In fact, their name is largely attributed to their role in the Unovan Civil Wars.

And it is here that we must delve into our first history lesson— how war completely reshaped the Unova region.

The Unova region is no stranger to war. Ancient civilizations in Unova had been warring thousands of years before the first Unovan kingdom would even come to be. It is in this era that, just outside of modern-day Iccirus, the Dragonspiral Tower would be constructed. Though it is not known who built it or when it was built, it is the oldest structure in Unova. It is a site of high religious importance, as according to legend, the tower is where Legendary Pokémon are created and slumber.

It is important to note that there is evidence of ancient Sigilyph activity here at Dragonspiral Tower dating back thousands of years, the most recent activity being dated some two-thousand or so years ago. Historians refer to this population of Sigilyph as the Dragonspiral Lineage.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Fast forward a couple hundred years after the construction of Dragonspiral Tower, and the scattered civilizations of ancient Unova are warring once again. It is here that two famous figures would be born: the fabled Heroes of Unova.

Many myths and legends surround the heroes— to the point of having caused several schisms due to disagreements between Unovan religious sects. But regardless of whether these claims are tales or truth, we know for certain that the brothers traveled the region to unite the warring factions under a single kingdom: the Kingdom of Unova— of which the two brothers would be crowned kings.

However, the brothers started to argue over their beliefs; the elder brother sought truth and the younger brother sought ideals. Though no full-scale war came about this disagreement, the kings tried to settle their differences through a series of long and fierce battles, utilizing their Pokemon and the Sigilyph at their disposal in place of human soldier to prevent casualties of their own kingdom. But neither brother was able to overpower the other, and thus the brothers declared that there was no right side.

But despite the outcome of the battle, the damage to their relationship was irreparable. And so one of the brothers (although the identity of the brother is unclear, many historians believe it to be the younger brother) left to build his own kingdom, splitting the Unova Kingdom in two and taking some of the Sigilyph with him.

And this is where the name of the Traveling Sigilyph came to be: they were the Sigilyph that traveled across the region to follow the lonesome brother, and some defecting to follow smaller groups that split off from him.

The Traveling Brother would go on to establish his kingdom in the modern-day Desert Resort, constructing what we now know as the Relic Castle. And even after the king’s death, the kingdom was said to have been the heart of a civilization for people and Pokémon in the Unova region. The civilization reached its peak around 2,500 years ago, when the two kingdoms of the now deceased brothers would merge into one expansive nation.

But this peace would not last.

The descendants of the original twin heroes, the new kings of the unified kingdom, would again spark their forefathers’ disagreement. The ensuing civil war that followed reportedly scorched the earth and shook the very ground, destroying the land of Unova into something unrecognizable from what it once was. And no place is this more apparent than in Desert Resort, a land that used to be full of lush green and expansive forests now reduced to endless sands as far as the eye can see.

The civil war significantly reduced the population of Traveling Sigilyph in Unova and marked the end of the entire lineage of Dragonspiral Sigilyph.

Unfortunately, we don’t know what the Dragonspiral Sigilyph looked like, or if they were physically different from Traveling Sigilyph at all. But considering that they were not a specially-bred lineage, we can only assume that there were little to no visual differences from a standard Traveling Sigilyph.

Nowadays, the Traveling Sigilyph confined to the Desert Resort are referred to as the Relic Lineage, as they dutifully guard the Relic Castle and the remains of the civilization they once called home.

Aesthetic for Liv

The pulse of the runway under a precarious heel, the constant flash of lights, all eyes on you but the smiles are fake, clothes hangers being pushed on racks, fabric swatches strewn across an office desk, a hand on the small of your back, a lioness baring her teeth

General Summary

The young family breadwinner existing within an exploitative industry -- what could possibly go wrong? Just about everything. She refused to be silenced but paid the price over and over again. She's a mother outside of the limelight and plans to keep it that way. She will do anything and everything to make sure her daughter has the safety she lost even if it came at the expense of great loves.

Full Biography

TW: exploitative modeling industry, stalking, blackmailing, coercion

Before Olivia Lawani entered the modeling industry, she was a normal girl living in Denmark. Her family, like many, lived paycheck to paycheck, but they were happy and close and that's all a child ever really needs.

It wasn't until Liv turned fourteen that she went from ordinary to something else. She hesitates to say "extraordinary," to her the "extraordinary" are a myth surrounded by luck and a team. And yet, she was one of the unicorns -- discovered at the mall booth she worked at selling hair styling tools on the weekend.

Most people hear that story and assume it was smooth sailing from there, but it was anything but easy. Just like all the other hopefuls, Liv was subjected to countless adults taking her body measurements and lining her up in an almost conveyor belt fashion with other young girls and women to take headshots.

She eventually wound up signed to her first management company, and then she moved to Copenhagen where she lived with ten other girls in a cramped apartment. They became friends because they were all each other had, but the underlying competition was heavy in the air.

Contrary to popular opinion, Liv was not a millionaire or a runway legend overnight. For the first couple of months, Liv was shuttled around the city with her roommates to countless go-sees. Most of the time, she wound up back in the van, waiting for a handful of the others to emerge shy with their new successes. The rest of them did their best not to turn green with envy as their bank accounts crept closer and closer to single digits at the end of the month.

She was just about to give up, modeling was a lonely business that eroded her self esteem, when she finally landed a print campaign. Ironically, it was for hair products.

The success of that first campaign helped develop her portfolio. She then found herself in front of the camera for other commercials, but it wasn't until a popular singer casted her in a music video that some of the world's high-end designers paid attention.

What Liv lacked in the typical "look," she more than made up for with her walk. Hailed as the new generation's Yasmeen Ghauri, Liv made the transition from print to runway at fast speeds.

It was here where things really took a turn. It's no surprise that young models struggle in an oversaturated industry. There's always another young, pretty, talented girl to take your spot. It's no surprise that many girls fall victim to a life of parties and older suitors who pay for their meals, their drugs, and their lifestyles.

Liv expected to leave that behind once she made it, but if anything, it became even worse. She was now expected to book shows on a regular basis. There was always a fashion week somewhere and it hadn't taken long for Liv to become the main financial support for her family. Instead of living paycheck to paycheck, her parents could afford a home and better schools for her younger siblings.

Yet, she was constantly on flights, missing meals during grueling hours, and trying to stay awake back stage. Then, with fame came the cameras and the lights, and the constant hands pawing at her. Managers, paparazzi, bodyguards, and strangers who thought they knew her.

She always noticed the way some managers treated her friends like live-in girlfriends. She also noticed her friends who numbed themselves to the various abuses. Yet, they all begged her to be quiet, and much to her shame she did.

So, when Liv first met her own stalker backstage, her sense of self preservation was dull. She fawned and kept her distance, and when security hauled him off she thought that would be it.

It wasn't, though. She started to notice his face in crowds in front of hotels and brand events. Then, he broke into her home. After him came another one, and another one.

By the time Liv turned 25 she was burnt out, but she never complained. Her family was doing so well. She was doing so well. Yet, the industry was eating her alive, from the outside-in.

Liv always noticed the predators within the industry, but somehow she managed to avoid direct contact with most of them until she didn't. It started when her manager retired. Her new manager was a little too friendly, but he was shark. Liv, like many of the other models, weighed the costs and the benefits. It wasn't until her new manager tried to corner her at an afterparty, hands clawing at her skirt, that something snapped.

She refused to fall in line. She was blacklisted alongside a handful of others and with that came a string of losses. The worst was the lack of security.

She started to notice cars tailing her more and more. With every email that came in asking for her to tell her story, more threatening letters piled up at the door. Then, they started to trail after her family.

So, Liv made the decision to hide for awhile. She was only 29. She could start over.

She went to the French country side to spend time at a guest home of a dear friend, of one Henri Fortier. It was a wonderful summer. One filled with fine wine, jazz music, and a beautiful love that finally had the chance to blossom.

As summer turned to autumn and then to winter, her hiding place was uncovered. Liv made the mistake of thinking she could leave it all behind, but even her escape had its demons.

Her pregnancy was unexpected. What was more unexpected was Xavier Fortier and the demons he unleashed. He explained it had to do with her fame, but really it was because her fame was out of his control and that made her dangerous. Fame he couldn't control meant eyes looking too closely at his rot.

He gave her an ultimatum. Leave or he would expose her location and without her security team she would be completely exposed.

Liv ran once again. This time vowing to rely on no one ever again. She changed her name, and disappeared to a different countryside. Safer waters. She gave birth to her daughter -- Anaya. It's been five years and as the tides change, Xavier Fortier has passed away, she's found herself pulled back to the shore.

[dinrelsanddragons]

I feel like doing this: the list Bryn ran down of the guardsmen. Please note that this is their Twilight Princess verse.

"First, there’s the actual war criminal, who was pardoned for the crime of burning her superiors alive." Yep. Gateni did burn her superiors alive, because she was ordered to kill innocents. Rather than do that, she decided the guys issuing those orders needed to die both painfully and efficiently; fire magic happens to be her specialty.

"Second, there’s Wynne, who’s the queen’s sister, and icy enough that your dick would freeze off if you even went within ten feet of her." Maybe a bit of a fanciful descriptor regarding how cold Wynne is, but if she got a scale from the dragon spirit Naydra and awoke as the Frostclad sage (that lore is still a thing) she could easily do that, elemental control and all that. Not that anyone knows this lore, except for the tiny bit of fanciful myth Wynne has heard in her family history.

"Third we’ve got our steel snob who keeps our weapons in tip-top condition." Sandalio could easily let some well-qualified servants do this job, but he's a bit of a guy who says "if you want something done right, you do it yourself," at least regarding weapons maintenance. (Mun needs to develop his character more, frankly speaking.)

"Fourth is the guy with a stick up his ass, the wimpiest of us since he let a talking cat make him think he lost his wits." Leonard certainly did let a talking cat get the better of him: when he met Tallula Brighid, who in time became his beloved, he had no idea that Tallula had (quite accidentally) bestowed the power of speech upon her cat, Fluffy. Fluffy is a sarcastic and sassy little shit and uses these traits to grand effect when it comes to messing with people.

"Fifth is the guy who knows his legends better than anyone and has a lineage to prove it." Wynne knows her general history better than Hubert, but Hubert has access to certain materials regarding the mythology and legends of Hyrule that qualify him as a special expert. While this doesn't do much to make him sound like a badass, it's probably a better qualifier of his character than saying that he's decent with lightning magic and can use it alongside his chosen weapon of a sword.

"Sixth used to be a master prankster as a kid until his instructors knocked it out of him." Not sure if Isaac was a master prankster, but he certainly committed to it and pissed off a lot of folks in his hometown. Isaac thankfully doesn't have the straight-lacing that Leonard does, but neither is he about to indulge in that hobby again– but it still means he's got a creative and clever mind, always has.

"Seventh is a literal half frost dragon." Enough said, I suppose? There's also that Taunch wouldn't stand for any of the bullshit Garon tries to pull; he is a soul who sincerely believes he has a duty to use his strength to defend the weak. A consummate knight.

"Eighth is the man who runs the fastest of any of us and married to the only person we’ve ever even heard of who can beat him in a footrace." That's Thorn, who is married to a very short Gerudo who, like him, goes nyoom. His wife Lita could easily qualify to be a royal guard if she were a knight of Hyrule, or really, from Hyrule instead of Gerudo. She's that good. Thorn isn't anything to sneeze at himself; he's better than Lita in sheer strength, though certainly not stamina– measure by that and she runs circles around him for hours.

"Ninth, an actual full-blooded stone dragon, you should be grateful it’s impossible to piss him off." Please do not try to piss off Armok, it could be disastrous if he turned his petrifying breath on... well, anyone, given the delicate diplomatic situation. It's possible that his berserk button, if it exists, lies in threatening his hoard of comrades. Well, that happened! He's probably very upset.

"I’m tenth." I guess Bryn feels that her actions speak of her skill set and strength enough that she doesn't need to say what they are. Confident, perhaps "overzealous" (as stated by King Jacinto), but she's good enough at her job– and her king's envoy of choice to the Gerudo if he has to pick someone who can defend herself. She knows diplomacy to some extent, but doesn't care to employ it with obvious jackasses.

"Eleventh is the king’s childhood best friend." I haven't even mentioned in this post that Raven and Hubert are in this group of bros as well, but Vair's loyalty lies where it does because, as a boy and prince, King Jacinto turned him to a better path than self-destruction under the guise of vengeance and justice for Vair's hometown, which was destroyed by a flame dragon when Vair was six. Vair might be odd in a few ways, but he knows his way around his weapons of choice and will put those skills to use without a heartbeat of hesitation.

"And finally, number twelve: Grandson of a legendary war hero with the skills to match." Raven is noted as being the grandson of Link Allaway, who gained many accolades in his (unfortunately brief) time, hidden among them being "hero of time." Raven doesn't possess the exact same skills that his grandfather did– the man died in war when Raven's father Devin was a boy. But there is still power in his bloodline– or perhaps courage, more accurately. (And mun won't lie; if Hyrule had had need of a hero before Raven could have any kids, Raven would probably be worthy of drawing the Master Sword from the pedestal.)

Honorable mentions:

Lita, Thorn's wife. Charismatic enough to wrap an otherwise cold and extremely private man around her finger, and win his heart. She'd definitely earn her spot among the ranks of the guardsmen... except mun doesn't want to bump that number up any further than 12.

Erdan, guardsman of the Twili. His role in the twilight realm much mirrored that of any of the Hyrulean guardsmen; he was close to Princess Midna and took her protection very seriously. He still kicks himself for being away when Zant usurped the throne, and kicks himself for getting himself and his husband Naal trapped in the world of light with no way to return home. Also would have a spot amongst the guardsmen if mun wanted to bump the number up; he has just about nothing better to do with his life except maybe be something like a house husband.

Gwyn, Raven's wife. She's retired from her job and just wants to be a housewife, but the fact is she remains a very able spy that Raven or King Jacinto can call on if needed. Mind her chaotic streak– if something happens that endangers her family, she will put their lives and happiness first, especially should their needs conflict with the kingdom's needs.

I should note: My Natsume is depicted as being a version of Merlin (yes as in the one of legends and myths) himself. It's how I've written him since 2020 and thus it's hard for me to change that now (unless AU based). As of such he is also written as being old as hell, but looks to be in his early twenties.

[legend-collection]

Kumiho

A kumiho or gumiho is a creature that appears in the folktales on East Asia and legends of Korea. Korean kumiho shares many similarities to the Chinese huli jing and the Japanese kitsune. It can freely transform, among other things, into a beautiful woman often set out to seduce boys, and eat their liver or heart (depending on the legend).

The old Chinese text Classic of Mountains and Seas, the earliest record to document the nine-tailed fox, mentioned that the fox with nine tails came from and lived in the country called Qingqiu three hundreds miles east, the term meaning "green hill" interpreted as the country or region of the east and was later historically used to refer to the region of Korea at least since the era during the Three Kingdoms of Korea. However, it also must be noted that the name of Gojoseon (called Joseon in the record), the Korean kingdom that existed along with other minor states of the Korean peninsula at the time, was separately introduced in the same record.

the gumiho/kumiho by kuechi farron

Kumiho and other versions of the nine-tailed fox myths and folklores share similar concept. All explain fox spirits as being the result of great longevity or the accumulation of energy, said to be foxes who have lived for a thousand years, and give them the power of shapeshifting, usually appearing in the guise of a woman. However, while China's huli jing and Japan's kitsune are often depicted with ambiguous moral compasses, possibly good or bad, the kumiho is almost always treated as a malignant figure who feasts on human flesh. It is unclear at which point in time Koreans began viewing the kumiho as a purely evil creature, since many ancient texts mention the benevolent kumiho assisting humans (and even make mentions of wicked humans tricking kind but naïve kumiho).

In later literature, kumiho were often depicted as bloodthirsty half-fox, half-human creatures that wandered cemeteries at night, digging human hearts out from graves. The fairy tale The Fox Sister depicts a fox spirit preying on a family for their livers.

The most distinctive feature that separates the kumiho from its two counterparts (Japanese kitsune, and Chinese huli jing) is the existence of a 'yeowoo guseul' (literally meaning fox marble/bead) which is said to consist of knowledge. According to Korean mythology, the yeowoo guseul provides power to the kumiho and knowledge (and intelligence) to people if they can steal and swallow one. The kumiho can absorb humans' energy with it. The method of absorbing energy with the "yeowoo guseul" resembles a "deep kiss" (i.e. a kiss using a tongue). The kumiho sends the yeowoo guseul into people's mouths and then retakes it with their tongues. If that person swallows the yeowoo guseul, however, and then observes "sky, land, and people", each observation gives the observer preternatural knowledge. But the person fails to watch the "sky" in most tales, so they get a special ability but not the most important one.

Most legends state that while a gumiho was capable of changing its appearance, there is still something persistently fox-like about it (i.e. a foxy face, a set of ears, or the tell-tale nine tails) or a magical way of forcing; its countenance changes, but its nature does not. In Transformation of the Kumiho, a kumiho transforms into the identical likeness of a bride at a wedding and is only discovered when her clothes are removed. Bakh Mun-su and the Kumiho records an encounter that Pak Munsu has with a girl, living alone in the woods, that has a foxy appearance. In The Maiden who Discovered a Kumiho through a Chinese Poem, the kumiho is ultimately revealed when a hunting dog catches the scent of a fox and attacks. Although they have the ability to change forms, the true identity of a kumiho was said to be zealously guarded by the kumiho themselves. Some tales say that if a kumiho abstains from killing and eating humans for a thousand days, it can become human.

Much like changelings, werewolves or vampires in Western lore, there are always variations on the myth depending on the liberties that each story takes with the legend. One version of the mythology, however, holds that with enough will, a kumiho could further ascend from its yogoe (spirit) state, become permanently human and lose its evil character. Explanations of how this could be achieved vary, but sometimes include aspects such as refraining from killing or tasting meat for a thousand days, or obtaining a cintamani and making sure that the Yeoiju saw the full moon at least every month during the ordeal. Unlike Yeoiju-wielding dragons, kumiho were not thought to be capable of omnipotence or creation at will, since they were lesser creatures.

Tell us about Mer Things™️

Oh boy where to start-

(The mun's about to go off, you have been warned)

There were originally six Aspects of Heaven - War, Love, Death, Justice, Fate and Creation. The more familiar aspects of Valor, Hope and Wisdom are Minor Aspects within their respective Major Aspect.

Inarius was the Archangel of Creation and the Worldstone was his relic.

Anu is a massive hivemind Tunicate angel and has no spine so "Anu's Spine" is a great joke in Heaven. They just chill in the middle of the Silver City, swim around the Arch occasionally, and give advice and love to their children.

Y'know how some ancient sea creatures were weird as shit irl? Mer-angels and sea demons are pretty fucking horrifying at times here too.

The Minor Aspect of Hope is mostly responsible for the legends and myths of sirens amongst humanity. They're often seen at or near the surface, singing while their brethren gather and hunt or while the angels of Fate stargaze.

The Aspect of Creation has dissipated since Inarius disappeared. Most of its members have drifted into the other Aspects to lend their talents there. Some few have disappeared entirely.

Angels are mostly oviparous! The Arch is used as a safe area to lay eggs and is heavily guarded by both Anu, and the Sicarai and the Luminarei. The latter two groups are rotated in shifts, managed by Earendel and Neriah respectively.

Some larger angels are mouth brooders and will carry their hatched young with them. This is a behaviour more common in the lower ocean strata since they're less safe there.

Monogamy is barely heard of and communal parenting is the norm across all Aspects.

I love how deeply he feels and hurts and that I cry for him so often.

I love this boy with all my heart and writing him with you guys is an absolute joy. )

ooc. i am SO grateful for all of your responses so far. Thanks to every single one of you for taking the time to do that. 

I got some interesting ‘added-in’ responses to my survey, regarding our au choice to have Damian originally Nightwing (And subsequently, Jonathan as Flamebird) and i just wanted to take a moment to post my thoughts on the whole matter. I debated on whether or not to respond at all, but I felt like it was important to state before moving on.  In the original comics, Dick was fired from Robin when he was 17. Superman, while consoling him, described Nightwing as this:

There was a man on my homeworld, many centuries before my birth: Who was cast out of his family as you were. He dreamt of Justice, of helping the weak. He dreamt of showing his family he was better than they gave him credit for. He used his talents and skills to fight for those who couldn’t fight for themselves. He became a legend. (Nightwing: Year One)

The myth Nightwing is a shadow creature according to New Earth origins, who has dwelled within darkness and is capable of so much good, who fights for what’s right, despite his origin. He works with his soulmate, Flamebird, to rid the world of evil.

If anyone is familiar with the Spiderverse movie with Miles Morales as Spiderman, what struck a particular cord with me is that superhero mantles are first and foremost: ideals. Anyone who represents and serves those ideals can put on the mask.

I think the main proponent is how you view Damian Wayne and his own personal story.  MORE IMPORTANTLY, Rev!Damian’s mun, who has read Damian’s entire arc-- both of us agreed that those ideals that Nightwing holds matches his own storyline beautifully (See bolded above). An adult Damian Wayne should be able to be Nightwing. It suits our Reverse Damian very well. 

This AU is a live, breathing, wonderful thing that I promise.... Every one of us have put in the work and are very knowledgeable about our characters! Nothing we do is ever haphazardly put together. 

TLDR: Damian is Nightwing in this AU. And if this AU content bothers you, and the choices we make, it is A-OKAY to softblock this account. I will NOT ever take it personally.
