𝐭𝐡𝐞   𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐡   𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭   𝐡𝐚𝐝   𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭   𝐮𝐩   between   being   “picked   on”   &   missing   someone   simmered   down   the   second   the   other   had   mentioned   grabbing   tea.   discordianyx   had   been   joking   when   she   brought   up   the   fact,   faer   crown   of   eyes   widening   in   surprise.   she   had   assumed   her   own   sarcasm   had   been   picked   up   but   perhaps   she   hadn’t   been   too   forceful   with   it   for   the   dragon   of   the   apocalypse   to   grasp.   

he   couldn’t   be   serious,   could   he?

𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞   𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠   𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬   𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭   𝐡𝐚𝐝   𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧   𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥   𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬   throughout   the   multiverse   examined   ryuunosuke   with   panged   curiosity   because   ⸻   wow   ⸻   fae   liked   the   title   that   came   with   him   but   also   wasn’t   too   keen   with   the   fact   that   he   was   amid   continuing   conversation   about   her   in   a   way   she   did   not   appreciate.   that   surprise   was   replaced   just   as   quickly   as   it   came   by   the   same   pout   she’s   been   flaunting   like   a   model   to   a   photoshoot,   her   nose   skyward   like   a   spoiled   brat.

❝   if   it   was   not   obvious,   lord   ryuunosuke,   it   was   meant   to   be   a   jest.   i   do   not   have   the   desire   to   meddle   with   aromatic,   dirt   water   &   speak   of   topics   that   do   not   concern   you   or   anyone   for   that   matter.   ❞

𝐬𝐡𝐞   𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰   𝐬𝐡𝐞   𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝   𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞   𝐭𝐨   𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞   𝐭𝐨   𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞   𝐚𝐭   𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞   𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭   because   she   could   feel   the   whirlpool   of   unwanted   emotions   deep   within   her   cosmic   void,   but   fae   would   rather   entrust   such   secrets   to   thanatos   or   plaga   than   another   she   had   just   learned   the   name   of.   

❝   unless   this   be   but   one   of   your   own   “apocalyptic”   doings   hexed   onto   me   ⸻   which   i   can   dismiss   as   friendly   banter   ⸻   then   i   am   not   interested.   change   the   main   focus   of   the   conversation,   &   i   might   grant   you   the   time   of   day.   ❞

𝐟𝐚𝐞   𝐧𝐨   𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫   𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭   𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞   𝐬𝐡𝐞   𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝   𝐦𝐨𝐩𝐞   𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝   𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠   𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭   “𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭   𝐢𝐟𝐬”,   but   she   was   now   in   the   mood   to   smash   something   so   kudos   to   him   for   getting   her   out   of   her   depressed   state.

the way that faer eyes move about reminds ryuu of a someone who's a lot more nervous than they let on, and while ryuu enjoys teasing people, he doesn't think that continuing to poke at the lady of chaos would be good for the health of him or his loved ones. the pout is awfully cute in a way, reminding ryuu quite of his sister whenever she would be told to not do something.

"well, if you'd like to talk over tea, i can get some for you--do you have any preferences?" of course, ryuu knows the underlay of a threat (underneath all of the embarrassment, of course) when he hears one, but it would be nice to talk to another being like he that wasn't his sister or the very ruler of the underworld. "i'll just nip back and grab some, and you can get whatever's on your chest off of it."

a delicate smile graces the lord of the apocalypse's face, and he continues: "even beings such as you and i still are victim to those thoughts that plague minds."

ryuu opens his mouth as if to say something else, but then pauses, scratching lightly at some of the stubble on his chin. "oh, where are my manners--i didn't even introduce myself. my name is ryuunosuke, and my title is technically 'the dragon of the apocalypse,' but the last time i was a dragon was about four centuries ago. and, i'm not in the mood to cause any sort of apocalypting at the moment."

unlike some of the other beings like them (the reason he keeps saying that is that ryuu does not view himself as 'god-like,' although mortals over the millennia have), ryuu doesn't see the need to show off with a display of power to the lady of chaos. after all, she is a being that could rewrite realities, turn a bowl of spaghetti into a pit of deadly snakes--so whatever he could do besides destroying massive swaths of civilization wouldn't impress her.

(not that there's anyone that ryuu feels the need to impress. he likes how things are, for the moment.)

What you said about Grian keeping his modesty even after leaving the Watchers.... Hmmmm.... Grian in Hijab.... Yes that's the shit...

i think hijabs are just for women ! i'm unsure what the male equivalent is

But ! The Watchers i write are inspired by Catholicism, his mum is a nun who veils. This is also just for women, but if he wereeee to veil then it'd be something like that--i mean not the full extent of a nun, but there are head scarves that allow hair and neck to be shown

headscarves are very pretty regardless tho <3

[yeah-thats-probably-it]

this doesn’t even have anything to do with the actual text but it’s fucking hilarious. that “pardon” wasn’t in the original! they inserted it in the translation mid-sentence! some british translator in the 1930s translated this entire bisexual-ass book and the thing he clutched his pearls about was the mention of stomachs

[prince-liest]

I love the 666 series! It doesn’t matter if it’s explicit or not, your characterizations and plot are what makes it amazing to read. I’m sorry you’ve been apprehensive about posting more due to all the attention on it (most of them are in the top 2 pages of the ship on AO3, congrats). I know I for one will be THRILLED to read any addition, just becuase it’s from you and about the characters you’ve fleshed out for us. - 🐈‍⬛

Aw, thank you! Honestly I really appreciate everybody's positive responses! The apprehension was mostly at the sheer volume of response to the last installment, with that specific and unfortunate combination of a lot of lamenting that it was winding down (however well-meaning those comments were) + the folks that got really weird about the CNC. One person who left such a comment even ended up deleting it, I think probably after realizing that it wasn't a reasonable thing to critique when they admitted they hadn't actually read any of the other installments.

I generally try to write primarily for myself and what I want to see in fics, so I think that's where I got a little overwhelmed was the feeling that I was disappointing people by not continuing the series, which is also where now the awkwardness comes from, of, "Well, it's been a while and now I have some more ideas..."

At any rate, I'm going to keep writing for myself. Whenever I do feel this way, the trick to get past it tends to be telling myself that I'll write it, I can just keep it in my drive if I feel like it. I never do, in the end, but it leverages away that sensation of feeling like I'm writing to other people's expectations rather than my own, ehehe.

Anyway, thank you again! <3 Very excited for digging open these character's headcases some more! >:)

“Who did this?” (Molinde)

Celebrimbor hesitated, unsure how to respond. Had he time to prepare, he might have brushed it off as a simple accident in the forge or a trip and fall. Anything, really. The silence, however, with the wide eyes and the way he had frozen after being caught borrowing Mirdania's makeup, made those easy explanations impossible.

"Worry not," He finally managed, brushing dark hair out of his eyes, wincing only slightly as his own knuckles dragged across the bruised and split skin. "An accident. He did not mean to harm me. Heat of the moment."

Hey if you gloat about "stealing" f/o's from a person who doesn't like to share, I'm gonna need you to grow up and respect people's boundaries and also get the fuck away from me.

CW: Implied breastfeeding. You have been warned

Seriously, even though it's not explicitly stated, I know the subject is touchy for some people so I'm putting a warning here right now.

[Sometime after Ethan woke up, Imora was sitting in the living room of her temple; a space upstairs that is only reserved for her and her close friends and family.]

[She is doing the girls' manes; sitting in a chair next to a lit fire. It doesn't emit much warmth.]

[She's also telling them stories about their time in Ethan's room.]

[Olivia squints, a question coming to her mind..]

"Wait... Mama?"

"Yes, honey?"

[She's silent for a second before she speaks.]

"How did we get food in Ethan's room if it's just a room of weird glitchy stuff?"

[Imora puts the brush down.]

"Oh! Ethan helped me with that! He made sure we had lots of food."

[Olivia goes quiet again.]

"But what about when we were babies mama? We had to drink from you... how did you do it all by yourself, with us at the same time?"

"I didn't do it by myself hun. Ethan helped me with that too!"

[Asha speaks up this time, her interest peaked.]

"He did? How?"

[Imora doesn't reply, she just smiles at them while she ties Asha's mane up into a side-ponytail.]

[The girls are quiet for a moment...]

[And then it clicks. They gasp, their eyes going wide.]

"Wait.. wait did he-!?"

[Imora nods.]

"With- he did- with his own-!?"

[She nods again.]

[The girls are shooketh. Flabbergasted, even, by this new revelation.]

[They look at each other with shock in their eyes, and cry out at the same time:]

"WHAT!?"

writing essays for college applications while knowing i need any ounce of scholarship money i can get is soooo funny lmfao. i'm writing about things i haven't even BEGUN to unpack because i will need so much money to ever be able to hope to pay off the debt

[dix-rose]

anticipatory grief is actually one of the worst things in the world I hope nobody ever has to deal with it

[neurotypical-sonic]

Isn't shadow over 50 years old. He's an old man. Practically a boomer. probably qualifies for a senior's discount

I get that you're trying to be funny and I have made this same exact joke before, shadow only claims to be 50 when he wants a discount, but really not in the mood to discuss about how ~technically~ he's 50
