Word Count: 1049

“Ugh, that was amazing!” I gasp out, I’ve been out of breath since playing the seventh song and just now catching my breath. The group and I stood talking for a bit before our manager butts in “My favorite people in the world, sorry for interrupting but there are some people here to meet you”

I look around confused as does the rest of the group “We’re not supposed to do fan meet and greets tonight” our lead singer Tia says to him. He shakes his head smiling “I was told that there was another band in the audience tonight and they wanted to meet you guys” He says smiling too hard, I squint my eyes at him before asking “Who?” his phone beeps and he walks over to one of the doors, before opening he smirks at me “its the band bad omens.”

I can feel my heart starting to pound, I told Carlisle in confidence how much of a crush I had on their singer, and knowing him, this wasn't just a coincidence that they are here after telling him. He opens the door and welcomes the band in before walking them over to us.

I watch as he introduces the girls by name and I make eye contact with Noah as he now stands in front of me, I inhale a subtle deep breath before smiling up at him “Hi I’m Y/n” I introduce myself, sticking my hand out. His hand is so warm as he shakes my hand, holding it a few seconds longer (Or I’m being delulu) He smiles down at me “Yeah, I used to watch your live streams”

my heart stutters as he laughs slightly at my reaction. I close my mouth, not knowing it was open. “Thank you, you guys are amazing” I realize I’m only addressing Noah and I look to the side at the rest of the band “Seriously, You guys killed it” they smile in appreciation. I look back and notice Noah still staring at me. 

That is how we became best friends, fast forward to now and a lot has changed, Tia left the group to work solo, I, Isla and Valery decided to stay a throuple and it’s been even more amazing, They deemed me to start singing and the fans have been so supportive and like our new image.

The band and I are very good friends with Noah’s, more so Noah and I have become close, him helping me with my performance anxiety and me helping his. Over the past year, fans have been going crazy over our friendship, now and then we come across a fan edit of us on TikTok, and it's pretty funny reacting to them on live stream.

I sit at home in my gaming room and have been live streaming the past two hours playing a game and talking to some fans when my phone lights up with a message. “Speak of the devil” I laugh and look at Noah's message asking if he can come over, after responding I go back to streaming.

“So I’ll probably see you all at the next show here in Virginia soon, I’m so excited,” I say with excitement not knowing Noah has just walked in the room but considering I can’t hear with these headphones on. I looked at the chat box as it was starting to go crazy “Someone’s behind you?” before I could turn I felt warmth surrounding my back and sighed in relief.

Noah bends behind my chair, hugging me from behind, nestling his head in the side of my hair, I chuckle as the chat starts spamming and I can barely read the messages. He lets go and swings a chair over to sit next to me “I didn't know you were gonna be here that quick, you scared the shit out of me” I lightly slap his stomach. He laughs and catches my hand in his “I was already on my way over when I called you” I start to laugh hysterically.

I look at the chat, “Please tell me what Noah smells like?” I laugh and shake my head, “Are you and Noah together?” I shake my head again “Noah looks like he would smell like cinnamon or mint but in reality, he smells like Victoria's Secret perfume” I smirk at the comments flowing through and look over my shoulder at him.

He wasn't even paying attention to the stream, he was staring and watching his hand rub back and forth on my side and back, I tapped his knee and he looked up “Mhm?” I laugh as he isn't paying attention “They were asking what you smelled like” he furrows his eyebrows and looks to the stream “Some people say I look like I smell like mint or maybe cinnamon but I smell like that perfume you use” he points to me at the end.

I continue to stare at him, I forget how deep his voice can get, I break away from my thoughts when I see his face form into a smug smirk, and he looks me up and down, I take a quick breath and turn my attention back to the stream.

“Why would he smell like you?” I read one of the comments, I glance at him slightly and hover my cursor on the end stream button “Because when he lays on top of me at night my smells linger onto him” I laugh and quickly end the stream before the fans spam and go crazy.

I look at Noah as he starts to laugh “I can’t believe you did that, they're gonna go feral now” He says standing up from the pink furry desk chair, he holds his hand out for me to help me stand up. I stare up at him and hug his waist “I gotta give the fans what they want” I smirk, tap his chest, and walk out of the room. 

Noah stands in the middle of the room and glances at me as I walk away, smirking and feeling proud and claimed by the girl who is the love of his life and the girl who makes him willingly spray Victoria's Secret perfume on so he can smell her when she’s not in a room.

I'm gonna go with "Hi, I'm here to be your nurse." For Tia Victoria and whoever you want to be said nurse...

If there was one thing to be said about Victoria Alvarez, it was that she was great at looking after the people she loved-whether it be with food or just being there to listen, or getting them out of a bad situation-she was there, and she would take care of it.

Unfortunately, she wasn't so great about looking after herself. Thus, now here she was, smothered by the flu, and miserable in her bed, all because she had to go volunteer at the library during toddler storytime, and if there was one category of people who were guaranteed to get you sick, it was toddlers.

She could barely breathe her nose was so stuffed up, her body wracked with chills, and her throat felt like she had been breathing fire for the past 48 hours, when really, she had been hacking up a lung. Because of course, when she got sick, she got sick.

"Knock knock," came a voice from her doorway.

Victoria looked up through bleary eyes and saw her, wincing as she sat up in her bed. "Andi? What are you doing here?" God her voice was wrecked, more of a hoarse croak than anything, and it had laboured her to even get that much out.

"Hi, I'm here to be your nurse," Andi replied, picking up tissues and tossing them as she walked through the room. "Since obviously you aren't looking after yourself."

"I'm fi-" Whatever Victoria was going to say was cut off with another round of coughing, so harsh she though she might vomit, but all that came up was phlegm. "Fine."

Andi stood there, hands on her hips. "Uh huh, and I'm the second coming. When was the last time you ate?"

"No appetite," Victoria replied, sneezing three times in succession. "Throat hurts too much."

"I am making you some soup," Andi stated. "Then giving you some medicine."

"You shouldn't stay," Victoria replied. "You don't want this."

"I've got an immune system made of steel," Andi replied. "Besides, someone has to take care of you, you don't."

"Andi-"

"Tori," Andi said, her voice softening. "Please, let me do this."

"I don't have the strength to kick you out," Victoria conceded.

"I'll take it."

With that, Andi went to work, cooking, cleaning, and nursing for the rest of the afternoon. Even as Victoria tried to protest, she found soup being ladled into her mouth, juice being offered, or a thermometer being threatened.

"Hmmm, still high," Andi said as she read the temperature. "Time for medicine."

"Blech," Victoria said as the little plastic cup was handed to her. "I hate this stuff-it makes me dizzy and nauseous."

"You want me to get something different?' Andi offered. "I can run to the pharmacy."

"No," Victoria replied, tossing back the vile liquid, almost gagging on the flavour, but managed to swallow it, shuddering as she did. "Ugh, so bad, but it works."

Andi smiled, taking the cup back, laying a cool cloth on her forehead before going down to wash up the few dishes. Victoria hated being sick-she found her head too fuzzy for reading, television and movies hurt her head, so she found herself bored and miserable. So as much as she complained, she did enjoy having some company.

Andi came back soon enough. "Okay, your dishwasher is running, your plants are watered, and there's enough soup left for later. How about you take a nap?"

"Are you going to go?" Victoria asked, hoping her voice didn't betray how much she didn't want that to happen.

"No way, I am going to go abuse your Netflix account, and when you wake up I'll see if you can stomach some toast."

"Andi...thank you," Victoria said.

"Anything for you Tori, you know that," Andi said, tucking the blanket around her, pressing a kiss to her forehead, not caring how clammy it was, and to Victoria, it felt like a balm. "Now sleep."

"Yes Nurse Andi," Victoria teased around a yawn, her eyes closing before Andi even left the room.

Being sick sucked, she thought. But maybe letting someone take care of her wasn't so bad. At least-not when it was Andi.

[orionsstory]

would love to know more about either 'sat' or 'ethereal - 01' (OR BOTH IF U FEEL SO INCLINED) heheheheh

LMAOOOO okay so sat is for girl, so confusing, it's just short for Saturday lmaoo. but essentially this is marm's birthday/the party !! i like to divide up the days before putting them all together, so here's a bit of that :)

"Happy birthday, Marm! You're getting so old, oh my god I remember when you were born! Vic almost dropped you." She chuckled, squeezing her tight.

"So I've heard." She chuckled as Tia let her go. "Mum told me she almost started sobbing."

"Oh my god, I was five! Cut me some slack!" Victoria called from the other room. "But anyways, now that Tia's here, what movie are we watching?"

and ethereal was originally a part of witchtober ! i was going to try and use the prompts to write a witch amandawn fic, but I got busy :( I still really like the first chapter though, so I may finish that and put it out as a short little oneshot!

She tried to quietly retreat and avoid being noticed, however she turned directly into some thorns. She yelped in pain as she fell into the clearing, her legs cut up and bleeding, her dress torn. The witch looked up from her book, making her way over to Amanda. Amanda tried to sit up, to back away, but her legs were too weak.

"Don't move, it'll only make it worse." The witch told her as she approached, kneeling down beside her.

Anne turned Victoria, Aro turned Didyme... how many vampires return for their human family, do you think? ... and how many don't eat them lol

I believe Tia is also Benjamin's cousin (I think, could be wrong, but vaguely remember that).

I think the answer is a lot, and a lot certainly try, and probably most of them fail and end up eating said relative because they didn't have the control.

From what it sounds like/the few number of vampires we see with siblings and relatives turned, the few number of vampires period, while I'm sure there are many attempts they usually don't work out.

(If you think about it, it makes sense to want to go back and turn someone you know very well and love versus turning some rando who you think looks hot. The latter happens all the time too, I'm sure, but people trying to turn their relatives doesn't shock me.)

[sovvannight]

So, Julie's cousin makes a couple of appearances in my season 2. I was going to name him Javier, and, I mean, when you say Javier and then Julie out loud (or in my head) they sound completely different, starting with a "ha" vs. a "joo" sound and 3 syllables vs. 2, but written out they both start with a J and have the ie in them, so now I'm worried that they're too similar.

Julie Javier Julie Javier Julie Javier - is that confusing? Any other ideas? (All names above are from the top 100 names in Puerto Rico in 2001 via the SSA, figuring Tia would go with something traditional.)

Tutti (her discontinued sister): An Italian word that means "all" – best known in the US from "tutti frutti" ("all fruits"), a term for mixture of chopped candied fruits or for sweets with a mixed fruit flavor. For Barbie's sister, it must be a nickname.

Francie (her cousin): Short for Frances, meaning "Frenchwoman."

Jazzie (another cousin): Jazz is a style of music; the slang term "jazzy" means bright, colorful, and showy, like the music. It could also be a nickname for Jasmine. It's obviously a nickname, at any rate.

Female friends (she's had so many!)

Ohhhh

Baseball and 1950s?

Carlos wants nothing more than to be a big baseball star, follow in the steps of Luis Miguel Castro and Jackie Robinson. However his school doesn’t have a team, at least not one that is capable of practicing regularly. 

He tries his best but there’s only so much he can get done practicing at his own at the local park. Luckily, Willie who also likes to hang out at the park with his skateboard(a sure sign the beach was either too crowded, no good waves, or some other less optimal for Surfing criteria). Willie does his best to help Carlos but, while he’s great with the surfing and skating he lacks the hand eye coordination for any decent pitching or batting. Plus, there’s only so much they can do as a duo. So Willie decides to recruit some of his friends. 

Carlos is barely surprised to learn these friends include the Patterson and Peters boy, who he frequently hears people whisper about, but never loud enough for him to hear what exactly they’ve done wrong. According to them they built a reputation by sneaking around, specifically sneaking into clubs with the better rock and blues music. 

More surprising is that the Mercer boy is also there. Because the Mercer’s definitely have their own reputation and based off that it makes no sense for Alex to be hanging out with the likes of Reggie and Luke, let alone Willie.

At first Reggie, Luke, and Alex are barely better players than Willie. Reggie is quickest to pick up on the various skills and techniques. Luke is actually a surprisingly good coach. 

Ray and Rose are a little apprehensive when they learn about  these boys who have been helping Carlos. That is until they hear who exactly is helping him and are like oh, well that makes sense, you should bring them home for dinner, tell them they can stay with us whenever they like. Even Tia extends the same offer. (There are things about the boys reputations that Carlos doesn’t have full knowledge of but suspects, especially in regards to their parents and living situations.)

Willie, Reggie, and Luke accept the offer but not on a full time basis. They don’t want to risk getting the Molinas and Victoria into any trouble. Alex extremely reluctantly takes up their off after he runs away from home because his parents keep insisting on setting him up with ‘nice girls’ who are neither nice nor his type. 

Ray eventually reaches out to a couple of old friends, Trevor and Caleb, to see if they can help, and both men step up to help house the boys (as well as get them out of some legal trouble they got themselves in after getting into some physical altercations with some other boys/men who had been harassing Carlos, Flynn, and Julie). After additional catching up and learning more about the story, Caleb and Trevor offer to help get Carlos a proper coach. Which in turn turns into establishing a neighborhood baseball team.

juke and “you can’t keep buying her all of these bows..she’s 2 months old she’s just going to keep taking them off.”

*speaking from experience*😂

“You can’t keep buying her all of these bows..she’s 2 months old she’s just going to keep taking them off.” Julie tried to keep her voice even as she attempted to talk rationally to her tia on speaker phone while watching her daughter yank another oversized bow, as well as several strands of dark curly hair, out of her head for the third time in as many minutes.

Luke was holding the baby and trying not to laugh at his wife as their daughter managed to throw the bow hard enough to smack her in the cheek.

Julie glared at him as she tuned back into Victoria. “…it took a few tries before you would keep a bow in your hair when you were a bebita too sobrina.”

“Tia?” Julie frowned at the phone as she glanced at Luke who was bouncing their daughter around the green room now while they waited on the rest of the guys to get back with dinner before the show tonight. “I have never seen a picture of me with a bow in my hair before the age of five.”

There was a long pause on the other end of the line. “Well, I said it took a while before you were comfortable with wearing them…”

“Tia!” Julie threw up her hands and held the phone out to Luke. She just couldn’t with her any more. She appreciated all the gifts and her help when they’d gotten home from the hospital but she was going to push Julie to say something she would regret and Luke could see it on her face.

“Hey Victoria, we’re being called to sound check we’ll have to talk to you later.”

“Oh, ok,” she sounded so sad Julie’s anger immediately deflated and tears filled her eyes. Pregnancy hormones were still kicking her ass and if this concert wasn’t for her favorite charity she never would have agreed to it. “I miss you all. Send lots of pictures.”

“We will,” Luke said into the phone as he smiled up at his wife. “Pictures with bows.”

Julie shook her head and smiled back at her smartass of a husband. “Talk to you later tia. We love you.”

They could hear the smile in her voice as she said, “Te quiero todo.”

“before you say anything about me being at home tonight, i want to remind you that you are too.”

peterpatterlina

When the Phantoms became big, they found that they were always on the go-performing, recording, rehearsing. Plus all the meetings and promotional things they had to attend, it meant they didn't have a lot of down time. At first, they all thrived on it, loving that they had made their dreams come true, that they got to do all this stuff, when most people their age were sitting in class or working drab 9-5 jobs.

However, it didn't last-they were all tired, and starting to get burnt out, but there was no real let up as they grew bigger and bigger.

Finally Julie got her tia involved, and Victoria negotiated that band got some time off, and slowed down their pace so they could decompress. Julie wasn't sure how she did it-Andi had wanted them to do more, so being given this slack was a blessing.

However, because they had been in each other's pockets for the past few months, they agreed as a band to do their own thing on their nights off, so they didn't get sick of each other. Alex had packed up a bag and headed off to Willie's, and told them that his phone was off unless it was a legi emergency, with a not too subtle glare at Luke.

Julie didn't ask what the other two guys were getting up to-she had a self care night planned. Originally Flynn was going to join her, but then a deadline got moved, so she had to bow out. It sucked, but Julie figured she could still do it all on her own.

She set out her nail polish, her face mask, hair stuff, a tone of snacks, and her favourite trashy movies. She had taken over the living room, and was just about to break out her nail file when Reggie walked in.

“Before you say anything about me being at home tonight, I want to remind you that you are too.”

"Figured you might want to go out," Julie replied. "Do something fun."

"I'm kind of tired of going out almost every night?" Reggie confessed. "Kinda wanted a quiet night in, but I can go out or go up to my room if you need some me time."

Julie hummed, considering. "You can stay if I can give you a manicure."

Reggie held out his hands with a grin. "I like red or black if we're doing polish, but I'm open if you have another idea."

"Hey, are we having a party and I wasn't invited?" Luke asked as he swung over the back of the couch, landing next to Julie.

"No party, I was going to have a little self care night," Julie replied. "I'm gonna do Reggie's nails. You want in?"

"I bite mine too often for that," Luke confessed. "But I could be down for the masks and the movies if you share the chips. Or I could do your toes while you do Reggie."

"You tickle me, you get kicked," Julie stated, offering Luke a bottle of a pretty teal colour before grabbing a sparkly black for Reggie.

Julie was sure Luke would coat her feet in polish, but he was actually quite precise, confessing he used to do this for his mom after she broke her leg skiing one year. Though she had to suppress a shiver when he blew the polish dry.

Reggie admired his nails, and offered to do hers, painting them a nice deep purple, just as precise as Luke, though his tongue poked out of the corner of his mouth as he did. The three of them tossing around gossip and song lyrics alike as the polish dried.

"I'm gonna make smoothies," Julie declared. "You guys pick a movie and then we'll do masks."

"You're cool with us staying?" Luke clarified. "Cuz we can vamoose and leave you to it if you want."

"Yeah, we don't need to intrude on your night," Reggie agreed.

"Nah, it's more fun with other people," Julie stated. "But neither of you are touching my hair when I do it later."

"Understood," Luke said, giving her a mock salute. Reggie looked a little sad about it, but nodded-he was just as particular about his tresses, so he got it.

Julie did take a bit longer to make the smoothies though-just to give herself a moment. One of the big reasons she was bummed that Flynn couldn't make it tonight was that she needed her best friend to vent to. Mainly about the two guys taking over her spa night-guys she had been friends with for ages now, and who she was starting to develop feelings for.

Feelings she wasn’t sure how to handle. For one because they were for Luke and Reggie equally, which was its own set of complications. Secondly because they were her bandmates and best friends so if she said something and they didn’t reciprocate or it went bad, everything would be ruined between them. She had wanted Flynn to reassure her that her feelings would fade, or to set her up with someone so she could move on.

But for now, she would enjoy her night and hold her tongue, and everything would be fine.

Only when she went back out, Reggie was straddling Luke, applying a face mask, his own face coated in a layer of green. “Hi?”

“Luke wouldn’t stay still,” Reggie explained.

“I’m ticklish!”

“On your face?” Julie asked, setting the smoothies down and choosing the sheet mask, applying it in mere seconds. “You guys choose a movie yet?”

Luke nodded at the screen. “Low rent Love Actually for February.”

“Oh this one is so bad,” Julie grinned, and handed Reggie the remote. “Punch it Chewie.”

“I love you,” he said. Reggie always was weak to Star Wars references, so Julie used them to make him smile. Even if she would never admit she had enjoyed watching the movies with them.

“I know.”

“Get a room,” Luke teased.

“We have one,” Reggie said, tossing an arm over Julie’s shoulders, making her blush. “You snuggling or not?”

“Not until we wash the goop off my face,” Luke replied, scrunching his nose. “It’s tight. And itchy.”

“You said you’d do them,” Julie reminded him.

“Hoisted by my own petard,” Luke said with a shrug.

They settled down to watch the movie for a bit, pausing a quarter way through to wash their faces and have a bathroom break.

“This movie is really bad,” Reggie said as they settled back in.

“It really is,” Luke said from where he was leaning on Julie’s other side. “Let’s see how bad it gets.”

“Bad,” Julie stated, snuggling in. Letting herself enjoy the cuddles, the terrible movie, and soon found herself drifting off.

It was a couple hours later that Julie woke up, still tangled up in her boys, but their snacks had been cleaned up, the tv was off, and there was a blanket over them.

And a note on a pink Post It sitting on the table.

You three are adorable together. Maybe do something about that.

Julie blushed, knowing Alex meant to tease. But if he could see it, even with the three of them asleep…maybe it was time to swallow her fears and follow her heart.

But then she yawned, and the tangle of her boys looked so inviting, so she resolved to do something about her feelings-after another nap.

[ Lily Rose Depp | She/Her ] Another face is seeking safety in New Orleans. Make sure to welcome VICTORIA DUPONT to the home of the resilient. Rumor has it that they are an 950+/26 year old VAMPIRE, who is one of the SURVIVORS but we’ll keep that a secret. They are said to be MANIPULATIVE, but that’s all a façade to cover up their CHARISMATIC nature. We’ve heard that they can be found listening to BONES by MS MR, which sums them up pretty well. Let’s hope that they can find a way to survive this harsh new world. ( ooc tia, 28, gmt+2, she/her )

BASICS

FULL NAME: Victoria Dupont

NICKNAME(S): Vic, Vicky (do not attempt to call her this though, she don't like it)

BIRTHDAY: September 15th

AGE: 26 / 950+

HOMETOWN: New Orleans

RELIGION: N/A

BIOGRAPHY

Born and raised in France, Victorias family was reasonably wealthy and she was well-taken care of until she reached puberty. She had three older brothers, and two younger sisters and was 'fortunate' enough to catch the eye of a very wealthy traveller who insisted upon her father to allow the two to wed.

Not so keen on the idea, Victoria ran off and found herself suddenly struck by the harsh realities of the 'real world' and what women had to go through in order to survive. She adapted, but she was also too gentle and too fragile making her the perfect target for many men and women who had wished her harm.

Needless to say, as the years passed by and she reached full adulthood, Victoria had given up most of her dreams and hopes in favour of survival alone. And she became very equipped at getting by on wits alone.

Destiny, however, had different plans for her. And the same traveller who had requested her hand over a decade prior, walked into a brothel she had worked in and got on his knee once more. He had not aged a day, and under the lighting of the poorly-lit room, Victoria could tell that he was not a human at all. -- They spoke extensively that night, and she agreed on marrying him in exchange for eternal life. She wanted to be like him.

Transition was neither painful, nor did she come to regret it over the years passed. After becoming a vampire and a third wife to the coven leader, she moved with the coven for centuries. Working and living and thriving in the darkness of the night. She loved the hunt, she loved the power, the protection, the wealth. There was no downsides to the life they lived, not a single one....except that even immortal beings, do not last forever.

When her husband was killed and the coven fell into a civil war over the matter of inheritance, Victoria ran off across the sea, where the witches thrived and the world was new. And she travelled across the new world, setting herself up for success of the future.

Now, she is in New Orleans, reaping the benefits of her investments. And she is limitless in her desires, her selfishness and throwing amazing parties at obnoxiously large houses.

Fairytale AU

Oh heck yeah! Had to have a friend randomly pick me a fairy tale, we're going with Hansel and Gretel!

Julie and Reggie as the main characters (Cause make Reggie a Molina forever!!!). They're off to visit their Tia Victoria, but get lost along the way.

Caleb is the witch (of course), he likes stealing souls... he's a bit like Ursula in this I'm realizing. He lures people in with his shiny candy house and then tricks them into selling him their souls and stuff. Is he plotting world domination? Who knows. Not me!

Julie and Reggie are super lost as it's getting dark, so they just go up to the first light they see, which turns out to be Caleb's candy house...

The door won't open for ages and it's long enough for Julie to realize that the knocker is made of chocolate... which has now melted a bit onto her fingers. She licks it off. Reggie gets curious and picks up a bit of the path... which turns out to be gingerbread(Julie is freaked about him eating off the ground).

Suddenly, Caleb appears and starts screaming at them for eating his house. They apologize and Caleb fake chills. He's like, well why don't you come inside and we can sort this out... you're just children after all... (with intent to steal their souls.)

Caleb offers them a place to spend the night in exchange for them signing a 'letter of apology' for eating his house... (it's totally soul stealing paperwork but they don't know that and it's too dim for them to be able to read it.)

They sign and go to bed without a second thought. Only to be woken in the night by two tiny people... are they made of candy too?! But the siblings are warned that soon Caleb will turn them into little sugar people too and they signed their souls away so there's nothing they can do other than run. Caleb has a whole little army of people he's pulled this same trick on.

But Julie and Reggie are smart and, with the help of their new little sugar friends, manage to trick Caleb into falling into a big tub of water. Turns out he's entirely made out of sugar so he begins to dissolve immediately.

The contracts are broken, everyone turns human again, and they all live happily ever after!

(Send me an AU and I'll give you 5+ headcanons about it!)

[tlatia-the-radiant]

Hello! This is the person behind the blog speaking out of character!

I want to start this by saying that this blog is NOT endorsed by the original creator of Tlatia, one Brother Dougal on the Bolter and Chainsword forums. I sent them a message and they still have not responded to me as I'm writing this post, one week after I originally messaged them. (Update: It's been like two months. Still no response.) (Second Update, as of 19 Feb. 2024: It has now been several months. Still no response.)

I am, however, trying my best to keep this in-line with Tlatia's characterization and the Dawn Legion's lore as I understand it. Obviously, I don't have all the details, but I'm trying my best. If you want lore, just ask; I'm more than happy to explain!

This post is the organisation for the Dawn Legion that I work with.

A few quick rules before going further.

Yes, I am fine with NSFW stuff, if you DM me and ask first. I promise I will not look down on you for asking.

Caveat to me being fine with NSFW stuff; certain characters are taken or are otherwise unavailable, and some of them have defined sexualities. If you're not sure, feel free to ask.

Please don't kill my characters without clearing it with me first. My lil girls are soldiers, and sometimes they may die, but I want to have a say in that.

Please don't godmode. If you need my characters to do A Thing, message me about it. I know I have a problem with godmoding; it's something I'm working on. If you feel I'm being too restrictive please tell me. I promise, tell me how you want the story to work out and we can work towards it together.

I am diagnosed with ADHD and on occasion you can really tell. If I make a formatting mistake, that's why. I can barely remember to tag things sometimes.

If you find that what I do just isn't for you, feel free to unfollow me, block me, whatever you want. You curate your experience, not mine, and vice versa.

This blog is run by a sapphic bisexual trans woman with a complicated gender. If you have issues with any of that—leave now and only come back once you're a better person.

With that out of the way: Tagging!

I tend to fast-reblog a lot, so not every post will be tagged.

"Tlatia Answers" is the ask tag, for all that good dialogue.

"Chronicles of the Lost Legion" is the writing tag, for any short stories I decide to post. This is where you'll get the deeper Dawn Legion lore and see how Tlatia reacts in modern 40k canon.

"Stories of Lost Time" is also a writing tag, but for 30k instead of 40k. These stories will be about what Tlatia was like before she left the Imperium; her life, her actions, the actions of her siblings, and so on. You might even catch glimpses of her love life if you look hard enough.

"Hope Springs Eternal || Warmaster AU" is the tag dedicated to, well, the Warmaster AU created by the wonderful @kcnhub. Aurelius, Primarch of the Second Legion, returns and retakes his mantle as the Warmaster. Naturally, shenanigans ensue, and since Tlatia is both the sibling he's closest with and completely unrepentant about abandoning the Imperium she has rather complicated feelings about this. Trust me, it's good.

"A Better World || Real Life AU" is my tag for the Real World universe that @warpcursed, @kcnhub and myself developed. In it, the Primarchs are all DnD characters developed by veterans as a method of dealing with their trauma. Tlatia is Tanya Farou, a former JTF2 combat medic who received the Victoria Cross for taking four bullets while treating wounded soldiers and only passing out after the fourth bullet broke her arm.

"Sunlight in Darkness || World of Darkness AU" is the tag for whenever, instead of 40k, we're writing about the World of Darkness (you may know it from Hunter: the Parenting or Vampire: the Masquerade). Tlatia becomes Tia, a Redeemer Hunter that managed to charm a Toreador into trying and eventually succeeding in reaching Golconda.

"Sight of the Singer" is my reblog tag. These are usually unrelated to the Dawn Legion and are instead me gushing over friend's writing.

"OOC Housekeeping" is what it says on the tin; blog maintenance and IRL updates and whatnot. (If I have any major delays in addressing your stuff, I'll try and post why under this tag. I'm a college student. It'll happen eventually.)

"Banter" is for any snippy back-and-forth with other RP blogs. It'll be less canon-driven and more meme-filled, and how the conversations happen might not make a whole lot of sense, but it's still RP, so I'll still keep it true to Tlatia's character. Mostly.

"NSFW" is self-explanatory. It's anything about sex or non-medical nudity. (Some of my characters are medics, so medical nudity may come up; it'll never be explicit beyond vague descriptions like "chest wounds".)

This post will be updated as this blog evolves.

For the Dream, the Outcast, and the Emperor!

//ooc under cut

@completelylusingit - Lus is like probably one of the best examples of someone from Unova like interacting with Silas based on what they know and then growing to like the guy once actually knowing him. I love seeing the evolution of Lus character and am glad to have the guy back. @.nacrenecitygardening Fuck I feel for Cory. for a multitude of reasons. I'm so worried and so interested in these situations.

@thatfailedpokemontrainer - Sprite is such a dude, I described it once upon a time as "A closed box of firecrackers with the fuse lit" and the statement still stands. He's so chaotic and I've been deeply enjoying its and Paris journey through Unova. @.a-nickits-den as well, Beedrills contrast with Sprite is so so interesting and the rivalry with Kura has me fucking gripped I've gushed to my partners about those two. Not to mention how good Beedrill has been for altering Silas' fate, that kid means a lot to the old man.

@battle-subway-ghost - I was first introduced to Paris through the grey walls event but I have deeply enjoyed seeing like, how chill Paris is. I love how much he like stands up for Kura and I still think about the bit where Silas leaked his information even if that ruined any chance for them interacting.

@tinkatinktrain - The goodra post is what introduced me to Mylah and I love how absolutely disgusted it makes Viscous-Protector every single time it pops up on his dash. Silas and Mylah have a really interesting vibe where they both feel like they can be silly to each other but will drop the bit on a dime in order to actually make sure the other is fine. @.subzeroiceshard and fucking, Kura. I gushed with my partners about that fucker just last night, I love how fucked that guy is, I love how GOOD he is about making people hate him to the point where Silas realizes this and is showing him pity out of spite cause he knows Kura wants to be hated and STILL Kura gets Silas to slip. top tier clown.

@shilo-sumac - fuckin god I love seeing Shilo interact with people, I want to have Silas interact with em more. Silas gets like so fuckin concerned and protective like everytime he reads some concerning posts from them but doesn't wanna come off as creepy. Love how she keeps running into terrorists

@team-skull-unova - you my good fella have notifications on. I absolutely love seeing Rais shenanigans every time they log on. I love that Rai is one of the few people who have lost to Silas in a pokemon battle but won in a physical fight. Also I find their thing going on with @cryogonalsmelody so so so fuckin interesting and I am living for it.

@ariadosanon - this is just about the coolest Victoria Silas knows and I am so so sorry for how much he wants to fight her dad. Just about the only team leader Silas follows without intention to clown on.

@team-ex-rocket - you also have notifications on, despite the fact that Silas CAN'T interact with Frosty anymore. I genuinely love how like genuinely dangerous Frosty is but keeps getting clowned on anyways. One of the only characters that has brought out a side of Silas that closely resembles his Boss.

@prof-polaris - sometimes I will just go through and read your blogs. I love how real Polaris feels. I can deeply relate to the melancholy that radiates from subjects having to do with Kittsu and having to like live despite the sadness.

@unovan-businesswoman-angie - I know you've been on hiatus (and I'll delete this part if you'd like to be untagged) but Angie and Tia are so fuckin based. They are so kind and cool and so solid of characters. A lot of the things they both have participated in have been so so well written and entertaining as well, I love the amount of love and care Angie has for her daughters. My recent(ish) arc only increased the amount of love I feel for the character too how like I felt Angie's hesitation when Silas told her the truth. @.rupture-remnant is like, has my braincells fuckin gripped, I think about them constantly, I can't wait until the news reaches them. I don't think Syndicate would exist without them.

@safrina-shards - Another fella on hiatus, she's so interesting. I love reading about her relationship with Angie. When she was active I was constantly hoping "keep her safe keep her safe" hoping nothing bad would happen. Completely activates protective instincts.

@vulgrados-best - I love all of the redux Crewniverse but Miguel is THE most authentic blogger that I have ever fucking seen in pokemon IRL, you've certainly seen in the tags me going "FUCKIN MIGUEL AGAIN" because I just keep reblogging stuff to main from them. Keep it up!

@wishmaker-astra - you made me make a whole new blog just so Silas can interact, 10/10. I love interacting with Astra's polls and how often Silas is able to be silly and also have like adult conversations with Astra. Really gets my senior citizen clown thinking.

@humming-pokemon-helpers - Fuuuuck I feel for Vanilla, the same day Wolfgang died I was actually at my grandma's funeral. Makes every time Silas tries to comfort or help Vanilla 100% hit harder for myself. Love how silly and professional they are.

@guitarandgallade - I wouldn't even be active in pokemonIRL at all without you, Silas wouldn't exist if you hadn't made your original blog all the way back in like 2018.

@goldenrodchef - Gen is so fuckin cool, I love how kindhearted he is and like simultaniously tormented being Eebied. I can see it sometimes getting to him but holy fuck

it took me all fucking day to write these with several distractions but I mean it, thanks for keeping me coming back to this wonderful community
