I just discovered your team mom Jason fic and I have so many questions about nugget! (Also it was straight up the hottest fic I’ve read this year and I don’t mean just the specific scenes, I mean the WAY you write those scenes and the slow agonizing buildup). Bruce seemed so in love with Jason in ch2 that I wonder if they’re like married or engaged by then? What does dick think about all of this? Does Jay ever tell Bruce everything that’s been on his mind about not wanting to be seen as Thomas’ brother? How do they manage that? How was this fic HEART WRENCHING at the same time? I just want jay to have some good fluffy marital bliss especially after dc comics this week! Thanks again for writing your work out there and the beautiful stories you craft! Hope you have a wonderful day ahead!!!!!
because i genuinely cannot recall what ch2 was all about so i had to reread my own teen mom jason fic and just lowkey questioning why this fic is actually chronologically ch1->ch3->ch4->ch2 😔😔😔
ch2 is definitely set wellllll after the post-pregnancy blues of ch4 where jason is infinitely more secured in bruce's love for him. they are not married or even engaged, and they will probably never ever get married in any legal sense BUT i want to think they have a little ceremony on a private island or take a trip to some foreign country where bruce gives jason a ring and they say i do before nugget is actually born and it is very much a rose-tinted honeymoon kind of marital bliss because this is definitely a tradkink fic no matter which way you spin it!! 😳
dick takes a long time to come around to it, but i also like to think it is all set in that period of time where dick is bitter enough about jason taking robin (no matter how short of a stint this run is) where he misses a lot of the early signs simply by being away and maybe there is even a part of him that is glad to turn a blind eye to his suspicions. but by the time dick can no longer ignore it, it's much too late and no matter how happy he is to paint bruce as a villain in his rebellion, dick can never outright ruin the man. and there is no doubt that bruce would be ruined if dick tells the truth about nugget's family tree. it's a reluctant unhappy type of acceptance, but dick does love nugget as his brother&nephew 🥺 and he learns to understand jason's feelings for bruce even if there is always some part of him that is wary of bruce's feelings for jason.
in some way, even if jason never says it, bruce has to know that jason will never truly be happy with the situation where he can only be seen as nugget's brother in the eyes of the public. bruce makes it up to jason in every other way that he can 👀👀👀 both jason and nugget grow up to understand why it has to be this way.
annnd that's kind of the core of the fic's narrative, that life is never all happy but even in the shittest moments, it also isn't all bad either. which is also A LOT to say about a fic where i mostly just wrote underage jason getting creampied lmfaaaaaaaooooo
#kuro replies#anonymous#kuro writes#the solemn vow#brujay#the response got soooooo long but i really wanted to answer all of anon's questions because i haven't thought about this au in sooooo long#THANK YOUUU FOR READING 🥺🥺🥺 and for such a sweeeeet ask

purple hawke who, at malcolm's death, lost not only a father, a mentor, the single most stable and safe point in their world up until this moment. but also the only person in their life who would consistently, gleefully 'yes, and — ' them. the loss, in one fell swoop, of both a beloved parent and your sole willing — no, not only willing, enthusiastic — improv partner. truly, the most unkindest cut of all that the maker could have seen fit to deal. (there's always so much less laughter in the house, after malcolm's gone.)
and then after all the horrors of the blight and trying to make a new life in the shithole turned shithome of kirkwall....... they meet varric. and something that's been slumbering deep within their soul dries a tear of relief and joy and whispers 'oh we are so back'. and they are so right
#bound together by an oath more solemn and more sacred than any vow of marriage#(I'll be your yes and for life bro. I really mean it bro. your nonsense is safe with me bro./*bro*)#commitment to the bit. and also our friendship. queerplatonic life improv partners & bullshit enablers. a beautiful thing tbh#dragon age#dragon age 2#varric tethras#hawke#purple hawke#on second thought let's not go to kirkwall; it is a silly place#purple hawke seems in some way especially alone in their family to me in some ways? there's no one to 'match' them#blue hawke and bethany seem to understand each other quite well; red hawke and carver are kind of uh 'on the same wavelength'#for all that that wavelength involves constantly butting heads and being shitty to each other haha#with malcolm gone there's really no one else in the household who seems to resonate even in that way with purple hawke#varric seems to have a similar situation going in his own family too which like. I'm so glad these chucklefucks found each other haha#oh to have a best friend you could just play effortless nonsense tennis with for hours at a time again. I miss that in my life

Recently cleaned up some oc portraits so that I could update their lore post for the few people that are interested <3 I'll give the same disclaimer as before that I'm not a master worldbuilder or even a very good writer tbh. these are just my dolls I play with for fun.
anyways long post ahead here is your introductory guide to the characters of fitaly (fake italy) a fictional duchy set in the early 16th century.
Antonia de' Farona Antonia is the eldest child of the Duke Niccolò de' Farona. Though they interact infrequently, she has a wretched relationship with Andrea Bernardi, her sister's betrothed. She finds him dismissive and condescending and is suspicious of his behavior around her maid, Lucia. When she is wed, she brings Lucia with her to her husband's villa. The marriage lasts roughly 5 years until her husband passes (I haven't worked out from what yet, but it's not particularly integral to the story.) Seeing as they have no children, her husband's family contests her right to retain his properties and she returns to her father's palazzo, Lucia in tow. She is largely reclusive as a widow and prefers to remain in her apartments, despite having more relative freedom than her sisters. She sees Andrea as undeserving of her father's affection and believes that had she not had the "misfortune" to be born a woman it would be her in his place, and truly loathes him after her return. Despite this, there is a brief attempt by her father to offer her hand in marriage to Andrea after the death of Isabella, but she wholly refuses and begins spreading nasty (but not entirely untrue, nor undeserved) rumors about Andrea throughout court to deter further pursuits.
Isabella de' Farona Second child to the Duke Niccolò. She has been betrothed to Andrea Bernardi since they were both children. She finds him less objectionable than her sister Antonia does, but she is certainly not enamored with him. Isabella is a vivacious and charming girl, though Andrea seems entirely immune to her charms. She dies abruptly at the age of 16 (allegedly after suffering an acute illness, but circumstances are suspect) before she and Andrea are ever wed.
Maddelena de' Farona Maddalena is the Duke's third daughter, and she's rather meek but sweet. She's not particularly pivotal to the story, but it IS important to note that she too has already been betrothed, hence why Marietta had to resort to trying to marry Andrea to her widowed sister.
Paulo de' Farona Paulo is also not particularly relevant, but he's currently the Duke's only surviving male heir (thus far), so he's very doted on.
Lorenzo de' Bassani Administrator in the court of Duke Niccolò de' Farona. Lorenzo was instrumental in arranging a marriage between his young nephew Andrea and Isabella de' Farona with the intent that they would wed when they reached maturity. He hosts Andrea more and more frequently as he gets older, and secures him secretarial work at court.
Andrea Bernardi Andrea was betrothed to Isabella as a child as a means of satisfying his mother's political aspirations. Andrea is educated and ambitious but somewhat dour for his age. He leaves his family's villa to seek employment at court when he's 16, which he secures with the help of his uncle Lorenzo. He coerces Antonia's maid, Lucia, whom he is infatuated with into entering a relationship with him while at court, but shortly thereafter Antonia is wed and takes Lucia with her. During this time, he is taken under the wing of Duke Niccolò, who sees his younger self in Andrea's ambition. Several years later, when Lucia returns to the palazzo after the death of Antonia’s husband, he resumes their relationship while Antonia grows even more resentful of him. Isabelle dies before she and Andrea can fulfill the marriage contract. He is in no hurry to find a new match, but his mother immediately proposes that he marry the Duke's eldest, widowed daughter. Niccolò is inclined to agree, but Antonia causes such a fuss about the matter that it's quickly abandoned. Andrea leaves court abruptly, and takes Lucia with him, much to Antonia's dismay. Meanwhile, his mother secures the daughter of a Spanish ambassador to be his wife. The two have a very brief betrothal period before they're wed and Ysabel goes to live with him away from the eyes at court.
Ysabel de Torres y Mendoza Ysabel is the daughter of a Spanish ambassador and overall a very reserved girl. She finds herself somewhat isolated outside of Spain. Initially, she is tentatively pleased by her marriage to Andrea— she assumes he is keeping a respectful distance to allow her to acclimate— but it becomes clear over time that he is genuinely disinterested in her, and she has to fight for any semblance of affection from him. He makes no secret of Lucia as their marriage progresses, and young Ysabel chooses to make Lucia the object of her loathing rather than confront her unfaithful husband. Overall, it is an unhappy marriage from the outset. Despite this, she and Andrea eventually have children together, whom he is similarly uninterested in, except for their son.
Lucia Lucia is my favorite oc I will not even pretend to be unbiased... She is Antonia's servant and a notorious flirt and gossip. Though several years older than Andrea, she unwittingly gets his attention and is pressured into a relationship with him when he first arrives at court. Having been particularly unlucky in love thus far, she finds the easy attention she’s able to get from Andrea a refreshing (and deserved) change of pace. However, by the time of Antonia's marriage only a few months later, she's begun to find him immature and temperamental, and is relieved to be out from under his thumb when Antonia takes her away. During her years away, she takes another lover but once again leaves him behind when she and her mistress return to the palazzo after the death of Antonia’s husband. Upon her return, she is surprised to find that Andrea even remembers her— even more so that he again pursues her— but she believes he's matured and acquiesces to further relations with him. After Isabella's death and the disastrous marriage negotiations with Antonia, Andrea offers to offers to take Lucia with him away from the palazzo. She accepts, and briefly experiences a honeymoon period where he freely showers her with affection away from prying eyes. Unfortunately, the arrival of his new wife complicates matters, and tensions begin to escalate as Andrea’s wife and mistress grow discontent under the same roof.
Bartolomea Lucia's mother (and only known relative) and also a palazzo servant. She claims that Lucia's father was a craftsman who died shortly before Lucia's birth, forcing Bartolomea to find work in the palazzo to support herself and the expected child. The story about her father is 100% not true, but Lucia believes it. Neither she nor her daughter are literate.
I think that’s all for now.. it is hard for me to figure out how to introduce them bc I have a lot of lore backlogged but hopefully everything here makes sense <3
#my ocs#main change is I got rid of francesco and resurrected his dad#he was going to have a narrative purpose but I realized as time went on that I was more interested in centering the events around lucia#and there just wasn’t room for everything else he was gonna have going on#secondary change is that the bernardis/bassanis and the faronas are no longer first cousins#I won’t say that they’re not related at ALL bc let’s be realistic abt the baseline level of inbreeding required to be part of the nobility#i have a couple years of the lucia/ysabel/andrea torment nexus plotted out but I haven't quite figured out a satisfying way to get#lucia OUT. but I will eventually. my solemn vow#also the duchy has a real name but fitaly is funnier so I use that#reblogs off bc I am still nervous abt sharing my ocs…

once i write that rhargar/elia longfic is OVER for y‘all😭
#ales.txt#They did not know each other not truly.#Their meetings had been few each encounter awkward like strangers pretending at familiarity.#Now they were to be bound by vows by the Seven by fate itself. Prince Doran handed her to him with a solemn nod#and Rhaegar took her hand. Her skin was soft almost too soft#like the wing of a moth that might crumble if pressed too hard.#SCREAAAM#rhaegar targaryen#elia martell#asoiaf

There wa—s a green light on t—he fire alar— m / that an—chored me down duri—ng windstorm—s when the gale would whip up u—nder the roof / thre—aten to Wizard of Oz us away
—Windy, ex. from a poem I wrote when I was 17 or so; [In my older writing,] I spoke of my reality as if recalling distant memory. Now it seems that lyrically I remain there, remain then. My body leans further into the passage of time while my creative attention catches, a skipping vinyl that really should be packed in the attic to make room for what works. My modern words on the matter, which rarely cease and plague both tongue and pen as a regional dialect of repulsive self-pity, fall out of me in present tense — my same tired muses and scenes long expired, forced to keep dancing on thin soles, a memory of a memory of a memory. Is it still happening, then? Am I hypnotized within the theatre of the mind? Am I still there? Am I still here? How much of my healing has been moving on, and how much of it has been proclaiming I am healed ?
#already breaking my solemn vow not to post any poetry of mine that won't be included in the paper ouroboros project#also i made this image with another poem in mind but here we are#fuck it we bawl and whine and snot and cry and shit and piss a little#windypoem#original art and poem#my work#my poetry#my art#zine art#poem excerpt#poetry art#journal poetry#illustration#mixed media#dissociation#actually dissociative#cptsd#actually cptsd#ocd#actually ocd#cptsd recovery#didosdd#trauma dumping#i think anna and patrick would appreciate this

anon… that is my XP!! enemies to lovers, except the line between the two is so blurred you have no idea if one is going to bite the other’s throat out next or kiss passionately. tension of all kinds heating up and the small beats in between, the utter tenderness you can only afford to someone who knows you at your worst and can still want you. want to kill you, want to kiss you—what’s the difference? both is to consume.
It's VERY enticing...but that is some straight up romance & none of the gang leaders are viable romantic canditates!! Don't tempt me. I've already got a trio. A quartet would REALLY be crowded 💀💀💀💀
#kolbie blabs#the delinquent disagrees#i already have ideas for the gang leaders#but...i mean. there are other.... other couples i could write. u know? 😳#im NOT starting another og novel (pls forget the fact ive broken this solemn vow before)#not until i finish my current ones#but ive been thinking about writing oneshots...#hmm

ROUND 1, MATCH 8
cam and jr. belong to @fl00rbr3ad!! rene and alois belong to @allthepandasintheworld and @solemn-vow!!
[cam and jr. propaganda rule: nothing sexual rene and alois propaganda rules: nothing overly suggestive + only ship them with eachother]
ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!
RENE AND ALOIS: - "He [alois] is literally babygirl. Light of this world. Killed his dad and uses his skull as a paperweight--oops. Medics have to have SOMETHING going on. - "Alois is like, if you took the classic himbo archetype and made him like, less stupid and a little more chaotic. A little. He's the type of man who would steal a dog if it was being abused by its owner. He also loves baking, and animals, and babies, and baby animals. He literally attracts strays, like his cat Margaretha and his husband Rene." - "he's [rene] like, THE tumblr sexyman archetype. If you know, you know. He's Ballister before the Nimona movie came out." - "He's [rene] a poor little meow meow, he's the most pathetic spy to walk this earth, he is a sad cringefail little man, and his joints snap crackle and pop when he does parkour. He's so competent and yet the world is stacked against him. The L in Lambert stands for LOSER!!!"
CAM AND JR: - "they clean up dead bodies all the time and deserve some recognition for it. :D👍" - "Cam(25) and Jr(13) are janitors hired by the administrator to clean up after every battle the RED and BLU teams have, because when your battle field is covered in dead bodies it’s not very efficient for fighting. When Cam was in her first year of college, doing forensic sciences, she attempted to burn down her college in order to get a free degree. She was caught and is now on the run with her little sister, Jr. Cam is friends with Demoman and Ms. Pauling, Jr is friends with Pyro and has a very chaotic sibling dynamic with Scout!"
