👋 Nyello, basically all my ocs are people of color because I am a people of color lol
For whumpees specifically, I have mainly two: Shaoyuan and Vayas! I joke that it's like the world's worst roulette wheel in my head for them because whoever I'm hyperfixating on is whoever gets fucked over in my fics 😂
Shaoyuan is Chinese and a trans man! I have a whole multiverse of universes for him, so his backstory varies slightly depending on the au, but the tl;dr of things that stay consistent between all of them is that he's one half of a set of twins, usually forced to go through a sort of Training From Hell™️ that involves fratricide to become a hypercompetent living weapon, then regretting the fratricide and deciding to lay his entire life down upon the goal of getting his two baby siblings out of whatever system he's in before they're forced into the Training From Hell™️. He's a chill, deadpan sarcastic guy who looks and behaves like the platonic ideal of a stealth assassin—yet, defying all expectations, is extremely kind and loves kids. Honestly, imagine an aloof but caring black cat, then take that cat and turn it into a human, and you've basically got Shaoyuan.
Vayas is from a fantasy, non-Earth world entirely, so technically our Earth countries don't exist in his world. But if he and his family were to be born on Earth, his father would be from India and his other father (trans) would be from China! So, mixed Indian-Chinese. He's cis, but he's funky with it, and just broadly queer in terms of orientation. The aus I have with Vayas can vary Wildly, much like with Shaoyuan, but the general thread that stays the same between them is that Vayas is the son of two high-ranking members of their respective societies, is immortal in some way, and is raised in such a way as to encourage his ironclad moral compass that makes him unafraid to stand up against what he sees as unjust. Often he's something of a psychopomp, someone who guides restless spirits to find peace, and/or someone who hunts monsters in order to protect innocents (I have an au where he's a witcher). Personality-wise, I always describe him as some unholy cross between an insufferable genius and a knight in shining armor 😂 He's loud, dramatic, often blunt to the point of rudeness, and honestly just bitchy 😂 But at the same time, he'll lay down his life without question to save a stranger's life. If you've seen the post I'm thinking of, he's that trope of a character who sees themself as a shield, whose life purpose is to protect others.
honestly there needs to be more diversity in whump
mainly because i'm sick of hearing about people's cis white male whumpees HAVE SOME ORIGINALITY
when all your whumpees look the same its rly hard for me to care about any of them
if you have a main whumpee who isn't a cis white male pleaaase comment or reblog with some infodumping bc i'd love to hear about them!
#i know you said 'some infodumping' so i tried to keep it short (looks at the wall of text on vayas) oops#i haven't introduced vayas on this blog yet but i love him so mucb you guys#i've just been brainwormsing over sy a lot this year#also by 'gets funky with it' for vayas i mean that his gender presentation is whatever he wants#he very much identifies as the sex he was assigned at birth and all that and is very much cis#but he has most definitely been mistaken by other queer people for a lesbian KDJDJSFH#obv very earth-based perception bc i did design clothing for the fantasy world he originates#he's best friends/partners/queerplatonic with another oc of mine#a chinese woman named tora#who depending on the au is usually a shapeshifter of some sort who can turn into some kaiju-esque creature of some sort#no joke literally all my ocs are people of color i basically never make white people and if i do it's usually as like#non-critical npcs in my dnd campaign#oc: shaoyuan#oc: vayas#oc: tora

Okay but consider: Cat Café AU
I AM CONSIDERING SO VERY MUCH!!!
Anddd you never said no magic involved and I'm frigging sick and tired of the real world right now, so...
Julie is the proud owner of a small cat cafe in Los Feliz. Lots of great drinks, super sweet cats, plenty of comfy places to sit. To the outside viewer, it seems like a pretty standard setup, if surprisingly well funded. What is less common knowledge is that shapeshifters are also a thing and Dahlia's Sip and Purr also acts as a sort of safe house for many.
Reggie and Alex are the main two other front employees, with Flynn working there too on the business side of things. They take turns working the front counter and taking care of the cats, Julie hopping in with either job when she can. Everything on the menu has silly cat pun names, most of them courtesy of either Reggie or Carlos, Julie's little brother. (She regularly gets texts from him with no context, just a cat pun drink name. They've gotten more frequent since he moved out for college.)
About half the cats that come through the cafe are shelter cats, who are healthy and mostly adoptable but don't have proper homes. They have a board on the wall of which cats people can adopt. Julie has a great relationship with the folks at the nearby animal shelters, cause she takes great care of the kitties and often finds them good homes after a bit!
A couple of the cats are a bit older and have just been with the gang for long enough that they've gotten attached and Julie or Reggie and Alex (they live together) have officially adopted them. Julie lives in a studio over the shop, so she just kinda takes her babies up with her at the end of the day.
And then the last handful of cats... aren't full-time cats. Shapeshifters aren't super common, but they tend to find each other. Most of them have 3-5 forms, depending roughly on age. The first two forms (human and some animal) usually are based on genetics or whatever, and the shifter has no control over what the animal form is. But when they get a grip on their first nonhuman form and start learning a second one, a lot of folks will go for some kind of domestic animal. Both because they're generally small and easy to get away from bad people, but also cause no one is gonna ask weird questions about seeing a housecat in their backyard. At least not like they would if it was like a wolf or something. So most shifters have some kind of house pet form by the time they're teens/young adults.
Given both the high percentage of shifters who have a small cat form, plus the high population density of LA, plus the fact that being a shifter isn't always genetic and often comes out of nowhere... there's a fair amount of unhoused/exhausted cat shifters around Dahlia's. So when Julie and Flynn were daydreaming about running their own cafe in high school, Julie was like, "Okay but if we do the cat thing, we gotta have a way we can help out shifters somehow."
Julie learned about all this as a kid, cause her dad is a shifter (first form was a black bear, which caused some chaos... now his most commonly used ones are a big grey cat and a raven), and Carlos inherited those genes as well (first form was a badger, these days he spends his animal time mostly as an orange and white tomcat). So while Julie and her mom didn't actually change shape themselves, it's just kinda a part of life.
Alex and Reggie are both shifters and met Julie and Flynn in college. Julie sorta found out by accident when she came into their dorm room and saw zero human boys and two cats curled up together in a sunbeam. But now they're her employees/coworkers, having a good time working and also having a safe space to cat in. (Alex's first form was actually a cat, a jet black shorthair. Reggie's first was a hampster, but he much prefers being a dapper tux tomcat). They also know all the signals and stuff to let other shifters know that it's a safe space, which Julie really appreciates.
So yeah, some of the cats in the cafe are humans some of the time. These include :
Luke, who is also best friends with the main gang but absolutely hates customer service so he splits time between the cafe and writing music for a couple of indie bands in the area. Or sometimes both at the same time.
Willie, Alex's boyfriend (yes his first form was a raccoon) and another bestie of the gang. He teaches art classes for adults, but those are mostly in the evenings when people are off work, so he'll hang out as a cat and play with silly humans in the daytime (also skate around getting into trouble but that's fineee).
Bobby, who happened in one day in their first couple weeks of business and lowkey never left. He's a security guard officially for a museum or something nearby, but he mostly works the night shift, and well... the sunbeams are nicer at Julie's cafe than his tiny apartment. So he hangs out a lot and has gotten adopted into the gang. He and Alex are great nap buddies and customers like cooing over their lil yin and yang cuddle pile.
Coming along with Bobby, we have his twin sister Carrie, who is not a shifter but was kind of freaking out about her brother disappearing so much (she knew about the shifter thing) and ended up following him to the cafe about six months after he started going. Cue drama and chaos, but eventually things settled and it all got straightened out. Flynn and Carrie are dating now, so she's around a decent bit.
She also introduced Kayla, one of her dancers who was also a shifter, to the cafe. Kayla had gone for a dog form when she was younger, but started working on a cat after hanging at the cafe a bit cause it's just so cozy.
And well... the shifter community may be quiet, but it's got its rich people too. After finding out about the whole thing, Willie's adopted dad started subtly pushing business Julie's way, along with sponsorship deals and stuff. And well, when Caleb absolutely cannot get ahold of his kid, he usually knows where to go. Even if he's not actually there, Julie or Alex have usually seen him recently and can pass along a message. (Caleb is absolutely a shifter btw.)
And well frick this got WAY too long, I'm sorry!!! I shall shush now and leave you in peace!
#legolas tag#julie and the phantoms#legolas answers asks#jatp#I am apparently very unhinged right now#was this my excuse to come up with cat versions of a bunch of characters?#......yes#I'm not sorry for my crimes#if you don't like it then you can ignore me#I just think it's cuteeee#also in terms of extended characters#I feel like Tia is probably a shifter too#she got some kind of fierce dog form I'll bet#Trevor isn't and was scared to high heaven when his newborn son was suddenly gone and there was a baby komodo dragon in his crib#baby Carrie was not bothered in the slightest by the fact that her brother was now a lizard#I feel like Flynn's mom is probably a shifter as well#likes to turn into some kind of big sheepdog#anddd i'm rambling again

Welcome to Ask Bet Anon
This is an ask blog(and sort of an rp blog) for my main oc and former persona: Bet
Mod posts are tagged "Mod Life" but if anything else needs to be tagged you can just send an ask(this also applies if you think I forgot a tag and/or mistagged something)
Rules:
No explicit nsfw asks. Suggestive asks are usually fine
No asks involving animal death
Please keep asks to the mod related to the ask blog/rp. Questions that aren't related can be sent to my main(@reign-life)
You can be a jerk to my characters, but you can't be a jerk to the mod
m!a's are allowed and you extend, shorten, or even stop them. The mod is allowed to stall, refuse, or change the length of an m!a if I need to. If a limit isn't chosen it'll either be made permanent or given a length of 5-10 asks(depends on the m!a)
If an ask is to the mod please add parenthesis
The Roleplay
So while this is an rp blog, it has had an ongoing plot for 2 years(as of writing this) with some of my friends. If you're new, I suggest reading the last few asks to understand what's going or send an ooc ask for a quick summary
The tags
-Mod Life is for asks to the mod -Au Time is for asks related to aus of the rp -Incorrect Rp is for incorrect quotes -Pseudo Mod is for the meta rp of the rp(basically, the mod screwing around, usually with friends)
Characters and miscellaneous facts under the cut
Characters:
Bet: also known as Mallory. They're basically the main character of this blog and are a demon Pronouns: Any(+hy/hym), but the mod uses they/them for them
Reign: Bet's sister. A pink haired catgirl who kinda functions as the braincell. She has cybernetics(one up to her elbow, the other up to her shoulder) that can turn into a sword and blaster respectively Pronouns: she/her, but is okay with any
Knightly: Bet's daughter. A knight who was summoned into existence thanks to an m!a. She's not as talkative Pronouns: she/her
Slate: He works at a space station(currently at earth cus of a break) and is kind of a side character Pronouns: he/him
Aurelia: Bet's girlfriend. She was turned into a gold statue who knows how long ago, but is now human again. She's new to this, but has accepted it quickly
Shady: Thanks to an m!a, what was basically a sleeper agent mode of Bet has become their own person. Similar to Bet, just a bit more unfriendly towards most of my characters
Miscellaneous:
-The mod uses tone tags(usually in ooc posts) -Despite the url, Bet is no longer an anon. It's kind of a long story -Reign's a shapeshifter, so while she's a pink haired catgirl, that is not what Bet looks like -This blog is kind of silly, but can also get dark. There will be angst(will make a content warning list for the rp-verse if asked) -The rp takes place in the Henry Stickmin universe, but is very disconnected from canon. Knowledge of the games isn't needed 99% of the time -The rp first started on my main, so the beginning of this blog actually isn't the beginning of the plot -I have made typos, coloring errors, etc in the past. Please just send an ask if you notice any mistakes lol

Who’s Ready for Headcanons?
I’ve decided to just dump a bunch of my Dragon Slayer headcanons here because why not
Enjoy!
Compared to dragons, Dragonslayers are more social
They crave company and physical contact
Cuddle piles are common and often used to relax
Often they will stick close together- brushing shoulders, holding hands, or even just standing close together
Fighting/brawling does the job just as well, if it’s friendly
Touch helps reassure them if someone was missing or ill or hurt in some way that they’re better now and that they’re there
Scent is incredibly important to Dragonslayers
when greeting each other/those they’re close to, they’ll rub noses, cheeks, or foreheads, or even the top of the head
this helps to identify the other person and mark them as part of the group
it’s especially helpful if there’s an impostor/impersonator because they can tell by the reaction(s) whether it’s the real person or a stranger
rubbing cheeks is very personal and usually only done between those who are very close; ex.- siblings, partners, family
kisses on the cheek may count as well
this can make the Slayer in question very flustered or overwhelmed
similarly, body language is high on the list
this helps in battle and social situations
Dragonslayers do have a ‘hoarding instinct
it’s not as dramatic as what is told in tales, but they do...collect things to an extent
Natsu collects things that have strong memories attached to them (see his house)
CC ‘hoards’ people- anyone they consider to be friends/family is part of their hoard; this (partially) explains why they are so protective of those they care about
Laxus- ? Gajeel- metal(s)? Wendy- anything air related, especially feathers; Sting- ? Rogue- ? Erik- things that make noise (some are preferred over others), specific scents
hoard size varies between slayers; it depends on the type of hoard, location, (and other stuff)
some hoards are more physical than others, some more (mental? conceptual?)
some Slayers don’t begin their hoard until later in life while others begin at a very young age; it depends on the Slayer in question
CC began theirs around the time they joined Fairy Tail
Natsu was similar, but likely started before that; the whole time travel/memory thing makes it a little hard to remember
Wendy hasn’t started hers yet
Some Slayers have ‘sub-hoards’- small collections of things not necessarily related to their hoard, but they like to collect anyway
AU-sort of idea: if dragon slayers could turn into dragons (without the whole Dragon Seed thing)
CC would love curling around their teammates
or showing off/doing tricks and stuff
they’d take their crewmates flying
also, terrifying enemies and taking them by surprise is the best thing since not being affected by motion sickness anymore
they’ve done it to their crew a few times; they usually burst out laughing at their reactions; no one can stay too mad for long
also the government? they hate it. is there an actual dragon? is it a shapeshifter? who knows?
Dragon Seed is still a threat (or whatever)- it’s more permanent; you turn into a dragon and can turn back into a human, but not for very long and not a lot; it’s very difficult and can be painful
Dragon Slayers are/were taught by their parent how to change/transform
2nd Generation Slayers can’t change completely, but can get horns+scales & maybe a tail
3rd Generations can transform just as well as 1st Generations, maybe with a few extra things?
Dragon Slayers, when transformed, look similar to their parents, with a few differences
it’s also possible to partially transform- with wings, horns, & tail, with some scales
Dragon Slayers’ eyes can be slitted like a dragon’s (like HtTYD) & can have slightly forked tongues
Dragon Slayers have tapeta lucida (inspired by YUtS)
Dragon Slayers can possess animalistic qualities, but they are not a major part of their personality
young dragons and slayers make sounds similar to young dogs and cats when fighting, playing, ill, or injured
these can be yips, barks, growls, purrs, etc.
these behaviors/habits can last several years, but gradually fade/become less prevalent as the Slayer gets older and spends more time around people
older Slayers can make these sounds as well, usually in response to younger ones
Dragon Slayers can be prone to sensory overload
this usually happens if the Slayer in question is young, unused to their power, in a situation where they are already overwhelmed/distracted, seriously ill or wounded, etc.
responses to sensory overload can be: lashing out, hiding (physically and/or mentally), shutting down, or some combination
when overloaded or close to it, Slayers may become restless, agitated, snap at those who come too close, look for a place to hide/escape, etc.
signs of a distressed Slayer: slit pupils; low, agitated growling; hunched and/or tense posture; shifting in place or pacing; unusually quiet; unwillingness to be touched or spoken to; small, uncontrolled bursts of magic
Dragons, and by extension Slayers, have groups called Nests (inspired by multiple sources)
though dragons are less social than Slayers, they do gather together on occasion
sometimes it’s for special occasions, like festivals or gatherings, while others are just to connect and fulfill their social need
each Nest has a leader or head, called the Drake, who watches over the nest, anyone in their care, and the territory
the Drake is traditionally determined through at least one competition between any vying for the position: usually whoever can roar loudest+longest; other competitions include physical combat [to determine the ability to protect those in their care], and hunting [who is more able to provide], among other things
Nest actually means several things: 1. the physical nest, where time is spent and young ones are raised; 2. the nest and the territory around it, which is determined by the members of the Nest and any who may live outside of it; 3. members of the Nest
there needs to be at least two occupants to be considered a Nest, though most consider three the base number
there are stark, obvious differences between Dragons, Wyverns, Basilisks, and any other species
it’s best not to mix them up, because you will be promptly, often violently, educated on those differences. You won’t forget after that- if you’re alive, anyway.
Tarragon, the ‘Dragon Herb,’ is primarily used for healing, but can also be used in cooking
CC sounds a bit like a Shiba Inu when making more draconic sounds
it’s especially prevalent when they’re younger as well as just making noise
Gajeel sounds a bit like an engine. a faulty engine sometimes, but an engine
#fairy tail#headcanons#dragon slayers#This is for my au(s) but you can use them too if you want!#just credit me#inspired by multiple sources#sorry about the format i dont know what happened#long post#dragon slayer headcanons

looking for longterm novella-style partner
general hey guys i'm lauren, 26 years old and living in EST! i just got dumped and thought i'd fill the void in my life with some good, good writing so i'm looking for some people to plot and rp with. i'm usually bopping around on social media and love talking to my partners, whether it's getting to know them or just plotting future events for our characters.
i'm also very ditch-friendly! if you're tired of me or our rp, totally just ghost me, i'll get the hint. no need to get all anxious over breaking up with a partner. it's rping, it's all chill. if you're able to, giving me a head's up that you're not feeling the rp would be great though! i will absolutely return the courtesy if i'm not feeling it anymore either.
as a quick side note, i will only rp with people over the age of 21, and have a preference for partners over the age of 23! i just feel more comfortable when my partner is around the same age as me.
posts and characters i only write in third person past tense and would prefer for my partner to do the same. i'm very flexible with post lengths, but i tend to be on the wordy side. i'd love it if you could provide four or five paragraphs per post on average, though i absolutely value quality over quantity so post length isn't a huge concern of mine as long as there's something to reply to! longer posts are wonderful as well, and i have no issue waxing lengthy posts if that is your preference.
i generally reply at least once a day or once every other day, but even if i'm tied up with work and not able to reply consistently, i'll absolutely be available to chat. i'll let you know when i'm busy and love to shoot plot ideas back and forth even when i can't put aside a chunk of time to reply.
characters! i love playing multiple characters, but having a singular main character is great too. i prefer playing OCs but can also do canons, which i'll talk about more below. i have no preference about what sort of character you're playing, that's your decision! i like to develop new characters for each rp i do, but feel free to bring in old characters if that's what you want! i like characters that are complex and interesting and not ultra-powerful people -- or if they are, you're able to explore the emotional repercussions of it. if you're looking for a specific sort of character to play yours against, give me some guidelines before i whip up an OC and i'll be happy to make someone that fits your needs. i adore creating characters, and like making side or background characters that pass through or come in and out of the plot.
i like creating characters before the plot, rather than the other way around. i have a huge preference for character-driven plots -- putting our characters in a setting, and then letting their specific quirks and motivations lead where the rp goes next.
i also can provide rp samples if you'd like to see my writing before we rp!
genres; love and sex so first let me prattle off some original character genres that i love! i will list fandoms later.
• adventure; anything with a band of people coming together and forming a found family, traveling together on the way to a goal with obstacles thrown in their way • fantasy; i adore fantasy, whether it's magical realism or all out medieval fantasy. world-building is one of my favorite things. sci-fi is great too, but i'm not great when things get too tech-y haha • paranormal/mythical creatures; sort of goes with the fantasy, but i'm always down to rp different species in any sort of setting • fairy tales; i love taking old fairy tales or stories and giving them a unique twist, whether it's making them #gritty or just tossing them in a different sort of setting • superheroes; people with superpowers using it for good or evil and coming together yesss • romance; romance is great and i'll discuss that below, but i prefer this to be like a sub-genre • AUs; i love taking a fandom and making it an alternate timeline or AUing it completely. also once we have characters and a rp established, i love love love talking about AUs for our characters. i will AU everything, there is no AU too AUish for me
those are just my favorites so feel free to suggest others, but i will not do slice of life. i just find myself bogged down when there's not a defined plot, and it doesn't keep my interest. i also love these things if you'd be interested in tossing any of them in the rp:
• mages • shapeshifters • daemons [like from his dark materials] • people with horns or wings • pirates • dragons
pairings what up what up. i love rps with a dash of romance, whether our characters come in as an awesome couple battle duo, or two dorks realizing they're developing a crush on each other. either way, i don't like characters who are not in a relationship immediately getting together -- i'm all about the bonding and character development. i do not like rping cishet m/f pairings. bi girl and bi dude falling in love is great. trans man and trans woman falling in love is great. ace woman and a masculine nb person falling in love is great. any other type of lgbtqia+ pairing is great. if you have a general preference for m// or f// just let me know!
i also love anything unconventional, from happy polyamorous couples to obsessive unrequited pining. love triangles are great, conflict is great, anything to keep the relationship fresh and interesting without verging into the realm of over-dramatic. if you're looking for someone to rp a dark and unhealthy romance with, i am your person. also if you want to rp cute poly couples. i am also that person.
for fandoms, i'll do canon/canon and OC/OC but not canon/OC!
smut smut is totally rad, as long as it's not the sole focus of the rp. i like the smut to add something to the character, the characters' relationship, or the plot in addition to just being for porn's sake. cute smut is great. dark smut is great. getting to do both is even better. i do have a handful of smut-based limits including things like water sports, pedophilia, vore -- if you want a complete list just ask when you contact me. themes i would enjoy exploring typically depend on the character and what my partner's limits are.
limits i don't have any limits besides the aforementioned smut limits. besides that, i love violence, gore, and swearing. i like exploring dark themes when the rp calls for it. i do not like rping with people who treat trauma, abuse, and psychopathy as personal traits or try to make things obnoxiously dark and gritty. but otherwise everything's pretty much on the table! if you have any limits please let me know -- i have no problem not swearing or avoiding certain topics or fading to black if that is your preference.
fandoms stars denote preference.
dragon age [origins; da2; inquisition] ✩✩✩ dragon age is my favorite thing in the world and i would love someone to rp it with. i have a preference for OCs though would also be up to rping canon characters. rping an OC MC with OC companions is my jam, though i also like exploring what the rest of the world is up to while the main plot is going on. also any AU of dragon age is great -- inquisition in a modern setting, kirkwall with a sci-fi twist; universe diverging where the bad guy wins and stuff like that.
pokemon [any gen] ✩✩✩ i am always down for a pokemon rp you have no ideaaa. however i really like my pokemon rps more serious (i know how ridiculous that sounds). i like exploring aspects of the pokemon world outside of just being a trainer and getting badges. i like to rp pokemon like they're intelligent animals, meaning that wild pokemon aren't so easily tamed and pokemon can get hurt. i'm also so down for crossbreeds/fusions. i have some plot ideas in mind for pokemon and would love to hear yours!
final fantasy [IV, VII, VIII, crisis core, advent children, dissidia] ✩✩ i have this random love for IV, but honestly i am total VII trash and have been playing the remake a lot. i'm also a little familiar with XIV and have some OCs already created for a setting like that.
fallout [any game] ✩✩ would love to do OCs for this, and admittedly something in the commonwealth would be rad because i've played 4 most recently. brotherhood of steel is always great, anything with them is awesome. also stuff with synths that involves questioning what it means to be human and have faith in your own identity/memories w/e w/e would be cool. also just a general AU of a fallout-like setting maybe set in a city that hasn't been explored yet.
kingdom hearts [any game] ✩ i'd love something in the bbs era, but honestly anything is great. exploring nobodies successfully turned into ansem-heart-holders, the new keyblade warriors to defeat ansem (this guy gets around), or kh1&2 characters during the bbs time is all great. for canon characters sora, aqua, ventus, marluxia, and larxene are the ones i've played the most but i'm always looking to branch out.
medium i like to rp over discord, email, or google docs, with a separate discord channel or IM for separate chatting and plotting. i'm also open to making a joint tumblr blog that we both post our posts on, which i did not know was a thing until very recently!
contact if you're interested please shoot me a message on my tumblr or at Lauren#5244 on discord! :)

Shade’s OCs
Here is a list with all OCs I have so far, including fandom and non-fandom OCs. Some of these might appear new to you (if you have been following me for a while); some might seem familiar. I offer this as a reference, but also as a way to talk about characters a bit. No facts are set in stone; questions and such are always welcome ^^
I’ll start with the ones I’ve already introduced here.
Fandom OCs/Fan characters
Anna Haas My Outlast fan character who exists in an AU based on The Murkoff Account. The result of the question “what if the baby was real?” that appeared in my head one day, Anna exists in several iterations depending on several factors.
Her introduction into the world was more than a little messy; the assault on her mother, Michelle, resulted in Anna being born way too early and spending the first months of her existence in NICU. Obviously she survived the whole ordeal. Under the care of her mother Anna turned into an overall friendly and optimistic child who is very close to her parent, albeit often worried about her given the trauma Michelle endured (which she tries to hide in front of Anna, but the psychological consequences still show up). She’s a headstrong person, determined to pursue any goal she sets for herself, and has a certain tendency to want to take on a leading role in whatever project or even game she is involved in. These traits carry over when she grows up. The past of her family very much interests her even if the truth about her father and her parents’ involvement in Mt. Massive end up taking a toll on her world perception. She becomes more reserved, perhaps even more irritable in certain aspects after the “revelation”, but sets on a quest to find out what exactly ended up happening to her father with a goal to find disclosure and a peace of mind - a dangerous endeavour perhaps, but one she considers worth the risk. The outcome of all this will ultimately depend on two major variables in her story...
Kyniera the Imp A DOOM OC heavily inspired by the codex entries in 2016 and various headcanons I developed about the species’ biology. Not entirely compliant with the lore presented in DOOM Eternal, as she was created before the new game came out; so to some degree she might exist in some AU as well.
A determined survivalist long used to the harsh ways of Hell that are not that much friendlier to demons than they are to any other life forms (especially so if you are a low-ranked Imp - considered nothing more than cannon fodder), Kyniera is an Imp who has gathered enough experience and a certain amount of caution as a result to survive longer than many others of her breed. This, coupled with a growing sense of self-awareness that is present in older Imps only, makes her suitable to take the role of pack leader in any Imp group she finds herself in. If not leader, then at least someone who is confident enough to influence group decisions, especially when it comes to hunting. An unfortunate event has resulted in her, among other lower beasts, being captured by higher-ranking demons and carried off to a combat arena in the depths of Hell to fight against oftentimes stronger opponents for the sheer amusement of Hell denizens but also to test the physical prowess of the members of Hell’s armies, including herself. Kyniera, much to everyone’s surprise perhaps, has proven to be a particularly resilient Imp, showing good knowledge of how to use her innate fire ability and agility to her advantage, becoming somewhat of a “pet” in the arena. Not necessarily a good thing for the Imp as the arena masters and spectators were probably more curious to see how long she will prevail mentally, out of sheer sadistic delight. However, one losing fight convinces her to turn tail and run eventually - and she manages to escape the arena, overcoming her own fears. With a growing hatred towards the “higher-ups” and an unwillingness to die for anyone, Kyniera wishes to distance herself from all Hell politicking and solely focus her efforts on survival and hunting alone. An endeavour that may not come easy as she still ends up getting caught in the crossfire of intra-Hell conflicts between warring factions which ultimately sends her down a path that just may lead to a particular metamorphosis...
Non-fandom OCs
Synth Rex Synth is an old and powerful daemon lord* who rules over an entire realm. He appears to be a cheerful and playful person who interprets almost everything as a game of sorts. Whatever is said or even done to him, Synth will keep smiling and talking in a friendly and ofttimes jolly way. This demeanour keeps showing even if Synth is experiencing negative emotions - as a way to keep up his composure, but also as a way to “troll” people, especially so if they appear more hostile. With his mindset mostly revolving around the maintenance of his realm, Synth is willing to do a lot of things to ensure the prosperity of it. He can be described as a scholar of sorts since he enjoys reading and travelling throughout the multiverse to learn and explore different dimensions, the people, cultures etc. It's one of the more effective ways for Synth to occupy himself and prevent boredom. Other occupations may be training, alchemy, and watching individuals and events having managed to pique his interest, especially if they feature revenge. Unlike my fandom OCs, there is no set storyline for this universe. It’s more of an open world revolving around Synth’s realm and his family as well.
Elizabeth Morgan Elizabeth is a fairly old and mighty daemon and Synth's lover. Elizabeth is what one can describe as a willful and self-confident woman who will not let others influence her in a negative way or push her around. Charming, elegant, and equipped with experience collected over 712 years of her life, Elizabeth prefers to use social skills to go about many matters. This is further helped by her mind control abilities which she can use quite deftly, provided an entity is not more powerful than her. She will often meet others with an overall pleasant demeanour, polite, respectful, and decent, simultaneously confident and not afraid of speaking her mind. Greater slights against her or her family will leave a bitter taste in her mouth and will not be forgotten so easily. As a daemon, Elizabeth has no inhibitions about using her mind control abilities to further her goals. She can be a manipulative person who likes to use a person's mental weak points to convince them of acting or thinking in a way benefiting her. When talking proves to be futile, Elizabeth is still capable of defending herself and will not hesitate to do so: like others of her species, she possesses enhanced strength and the ability to shapeshift into a fearsome daemon form.
Shannon Rex [picture not yet available on Tumblr] Shannon is the first and eldest of Synth and Elizabeth's children. Shannon had had a shapeshifting "accident" at the age of three months, having transformed into an indescribable, amorphous shape which appears to be their daemon form, which significantly differs from the usual form. Ever since, Shannon has to struggle with shapeshifting slips a lot, though their powers are getting better as time passes and they become an adult. Shannon is an introverted and reserved person, somewhat taciturn. Serious and determined, Shannon mostly occupies themselves with books and training and might not necessarily be a person who is in for the "silly" type of fun. Having been raised by a caring, but strict father who has set a firm schedule for his child and having been around their father's subordinates a lot, Shannon is disciplined and generally well-behaved. Due to their problems with the shapeshifting power and initially slow telekinesis, Shannon tends to be insecure about themselves, constantly questioning their worth and might. However, with frequent training units and being the offspring of a daemon lord, it might just be a matter of time until Shannon actually becomes powerful.
Cynthia Rex [picture not yet available on Tumblr] Cynthia is the second and youngest of Synth and Elizabeth's children. Cynthia is a happy and jolly six-year-old child (there is a huge age gap between the children), always curious and with a tendency to ask a lot of questions concerning how things work and what they are. She also has a bit of a mischievous streak and will attempt to play pranks once in a while. Close to her family, she is pretty much seldom seen anywhere away from a family member unless she decides to explore her father's castle on her own. Around strangers Cynthia becomes quiet and will cling to whatever family member is accompanying her at a time. As a child she is unaware of a lot of things existing in the multiverse and has a generally optimist attitude, though she knows not to trust people she does not know, which is mostly because of her family frequently telling her that she should not trust anyone outside of her family and her father's subordinates. Cynthia has recently begun undergoing training units in addition to lessons, which often leave her tired.
Thetis The result of my fascination with sharks, the desire to design a mermaid based on the great white shark, and depicting sharks in a positive light while maintaining the fact that they are (majestic) predators by nature.
Thetis is a very curious and inquisitive great white shark mermaid. While Thetis tends towards the introvert side of the spectrum, she is still open to talking with others, always willing to learn new things. She meets others with a friendly appearance and will not, contrary to what might be said about sharks and shark mermaids, seek any hostile intentions whatsoever as long as she is not agitated or hunting prey. Even though she has no inhibitions about killing other living things (specifically prey), she does so only for the sake of self-preservation and would scoff at others for "wasting" a kill, or put differently, for killing and harming other living things for any other reason than self-preservation. Still, Thetis does enjoy the thrill of the hunt itself and will speak rather openly about hunting if it ever comes to that. Depending on which universe she is set in, Thetis may dislike humans (or other humanoids, depending) for all the things they are doing to sharks and maybe even mermaids. However, she would never actively go against any unless the human provokes her intentionally.
Xenia Used to be a fan character of mine before I decided to rewrite her entire story and include her as a non-fandom OC in my own multiverse. As a result there are still gaps in her story, though her personality/concept remains similar.
An agent working under Synth Rex among his ranks. Xenia has endured an excruciating, unhappy childhood that left her permanently scarred - physically and mentally. An escape from her world, after she has exacted revenge on her tormentors, was offered by Lord Rex, who had become interested in her story, promising a better future for her. While Xenia was hesitant to take his offer to work for him first, she accepted it and ended up in a better position after all, as she perceives it. Still, her life has left her bitter, cynic, and mistrustful. While she tries to keep up a good relationship with her fellow agents, approaching her is still difficult as she prefers a solitary lifestyle, slow to trust anyone. Her manner of speech tends to be sarcastic often. Xenia belongs to an unspecified human-like species, possessing powerful telekinetic abilities that have developed and strengthened as she grew up. It was this power that allowed her to turn her "fate" over.
*the depiction of the daemon might drastically differ from “canonical” mythological depictions in places. These characters exist in a multiverse created by me and thus adhere to lore created by myself.

Ok uhhh claia, lukemaryse and malec superhero au headcanons
first of all, id just like to say that i love this new trend of u guys sending me really vague prompts and giving me complete creative freedom to do whatever i want with them. i think it really shows that u trust me to create good, interesting content, and that means a lot to me. second of all, that trust is entirely misplaced. why would you ever think that id make something good. have you met me. what im trying to say here is basically: this is your own fault
behold:
In a world where everyone has a superpower, the world is bound to work a little different. No one knows what determines people's superpowers; some are fairly common (like teleportation, which led to a lot of ppl working as cabs, taking ppl to and from wherever they need) and others are unique and particularly powerful (and also dangerous, which is why particularly powerful people are part of an elite squad dedicated to keep the world safe; our very own superheroes)
Alec's superpower is definitely unique: he can sense trash. That's it. Hes just going around, living his life, sensing trash. He knows when people are littering. He can sense it from a pretty far away distance. Everywhere he goes, he knows where all the trash cans are. His life is just. Him and the trash, everywhere, haunting him
No one's ever heard of this before. Alec's mom, maryse, can bend all four elements, and is part of the Elite Squad; so is his father, although he retired from action and works behind a desk now. His sister izzy has superspeed and was trained to perfect combat in the hopes she would follow their footsteps, but ultimately decided to give it up and become a biologist instead. And Alec. Can sense trash
This was the source of a lot of Family Drama, since alec's parents were pretty strict and held their position as elite superheroes with pride, expecting nothing less from their children. But after many years of trying and failing to somehow make up for it, Alec decided to say fuck them and fully embraced who he is, refusing to live in apology. Once he finally left their house to live on his own, maryse realised he meant wanting to cut them off his life for real, and came around. Robert's lack of understanding was one of the factors that led to their divorce
Alec became an architect and works to build better and efficient waste collection systems in the country. Due to his power, he knows which places need the most infrastructure investment, as well as the problems that lead to the littering. He also knows which companies are illegally discarding their waste and how, the exact effects of that on the environment, and a lot of stuff that would otherwise only be possible through extensive research. He is an activist for both a better public, free, universal waste removal system, and stricter regulations on companies that profit from environmental destruction.
And the thing is, he likes this life. He's passionate about it. Everyday at work he gets to do a little something to make the world better and fight against injustice and use his place of privilege that comes from his education and his so-called "useless" superpower for change. He wouldn't trade it for the world and he's really passionate about what he does, even if it does take up most of his time
So when his mom comes in one day saying that a new villain named Trash Man is going around and killing people and they need his help to track him, Alec is not. amused.
First of all: Trash Man? come on
But he kind of has no choice, since this is top priority at the moment and the very ministery of security is calling him or something - every citizen is required to register their powers so they know exactly when they're needed
So he goes, and for the first time, he meets the rest of his mom's Top Secret team; first of all, there's the leader, Luke: his power is persuasion and hes very good at de-escalating events to guarantee minimal damage and better solutions, making him the most valuable asset of the team. Then there's Maryse, and under them, a team of relatively young, but very powerful, heroes: maia, a shapeshifter; clary, who can summon weapons and is very good at Stabbing; and Magnus, who can bend time and space
Magnus is also kind of the Group Genius; his power also got him an special interest in physics and chemistry, meaning that he is not only able to use his power intelligently and creatively, but effectively enhance it; he's also very good with tech and responsible for a lot of their non-power-related assets. Honestly, he likes that part way better than the crime-fighting blah blah blah, but he kind of has no choice over what he does because he's an orphan and extremely powerful, meaning he's viewed as a threat by the government while simultaneously being dependant on them, and would pretty much have nowhere to turn to if he didnt start working for them
But really, he wants to be a scientist. He wants to do good things. He wants to create stuff that will make people's lives, and the world, better. He doesn't even believe in this whole "crime fighting" shit; he believes in a just world crime would be minimal and using their resources to fight bad guys instead of working on crime prevention is an absolute waste. But it's not like anybody asked for his opinion.
Alec and Magnus immediately hit it off; Alec was kind of tense at first because surely these guys would have the world's hugest chip on their shoulder, right? But instead everyone welcomes him, and Magnus kind of jokes that he envies him, which takes him by surprise
Because Maia and Clary are both Magnus' great friends as well, Alec also gets closer to them; Clary can be a little self-centered and annoying, but she's cool and Maia always calls her out on it. Maia is a fierce, amazing, smart girl and Alec can totally see why she and Magnus are so close, with their similar sense of humor, shared experiences (Maia is not an orphan but she ran away from home when she was pretty young), and gleaming, almost mischievous intelligence and talent. Alec can hold a conversation with them alright, since as an architect he needs quite some knowledge of physics and as an activist he can also hold pretty good and deep conversations with them about the system and its flawed, unjust logic; but there are some topics they get into that just kind of escalate and seem to get them in their own little world. Alec finds himself watching from the sidelines sometimes, and while he admires that - and doesnt miss the way clary will sometimes sit beside him and watch them as well, a small smile on her face that tells him everything he needs to know - he finds himself... a little upset by it, too
Not that he has a problem with them, but he finds himself wanting to feel like he belongs, and that's kind of- new. It's not like his life is a sad wet sock of loneliness or anything, he has his sister, he has some friends, but he's a private kind of guy and he finds himself more comfortable at the sidelines than the spotlight, except when it comes to his work, because hes good at that
It's just his luck, then, that Trash Man turns out to be really smart and hard to track due to [vague plot noises], giving him all the time he needs to, well, figure this out
So he spends more time with them, particularly Magnus. The both of them will sometimes sit talking for hours, and soon learn a lot about each other. Magnus listens, enraptured, whenever Alec goes on a passionate Trash Rant™ and Alec is always in awe by Magnus' smart solutions. They begin some sort of camraderie that's also laced with Magnus' oh-so-smooth flirting, which started strong and eventually died out as Magnus began to realize he really liked Alec and his usual confidence and devil-may-care attitude vanished. But Alec mistakes this as Magnus losing interest or him seeing things. Cue lots of mutual pining
At least once Alec gets thrown through a wall by some villain; but, little did he know, it wasnt just a normal wall that he broke; it was the fourth wall. Alec looks straight into the reader's eyes, and goes: "I can sense trash. That's why, in this AU, i was never friends with jace". Then Magnus comes in and takes him back to the other side of the wall, and Alec blinks, confused, not remembering what had just happened. This is never mentioned again
Idk theres some gay shit in here, Alec introduces Magnus to Izzy and Magnus is absolutely in awe with her work. Izzy specializes in pollinators and works trying to restore the bee population and guarantee a more sustainable environment. Her work crosses with Alec's a surprising amount of times, and Magnus, who loves both animals and the incredible amount of knowledge her research requires, and they become super good friends almost immediately, which makes Alec very pleased.
More gay shit, Alec and Magnus decide to team up to try and get Clary and Maia together, only to be knocked sideways when they find out they're already dating. Maryse is like "do the four of you ever work" and Alec is hit with the realisation that his mom, too, kind of lives in the sidelines when it comes to things that arent work; luke seems to be kind of the mediator between her and the rest of the team, which is kind of sad. She does seem to have a good relationship with Luke, tho
Eventually they defeat Trash Man and Alec is no longer required to work for them and can go back to his trash activism; and when he does, so does Magnus, who is invited to work with izzy's team, which he gladly accepts
Somehow Alec confesses? And Magnus is in awe because he of course never expected Alec to like him back but. It turns out Alec is the most confident out of the two of them despite their exterior telling most people otherwise. And Magnus just says that yes he likes him back and will go out with him and they kiss passionately in the middle of the lab surrounded by bees but there are also flowers so theres that. And then they get married. I mean not right after but some years later
Magnus leaving inspires the rest of them, in some ways; Maia, Luke and Maryse start actually fighting to change the crime fighting policies to investment in crime prevention because new supervillains will always keep coming. The romantic tension between them finally snaps and they start going out. Maryse seems like such a different person now, more open and happier. Alec is pleased
They save the bees and the trash and the impending environmental apocalypse that looms over us is avoided idk that's all Ive got
Again this is your fault
The end

Dedede and Delilah live in the rural south. The only real excitement is the rumors going around about some sort of monster. They call it the Watcher, from the way its bright white (or yellow, according to some) eyes watching you from the dark. It's said to have razor sharp teeth and gigantic bat-like wings, and it hunts in the night waiting to attack campers in their sleep. Dedede never really believed in those things, until he come home late to a little bat winged /something/ on his porch.
Now, you know how to play to my interests. I am super on board with a Southern Gothic(TM) AU. And like, it would be really fun to do something that gets to play with Southern folklore. I love Appalachian folklore and stuff like that. And I like the potential of this because I can see it playing out a lot of different ways.
Maybe Dedede and Delilah think Meta is a forest spirit of some kind and decide to take care of him. Because you don’t screw with spirits, okay? They’ll turn you into barred owls. Or shapeshift into your loved ones, seduce you with their music, and suck out your liver with their bone fingers. Take good care of the forest spirit.
Not going to lie. That description of Meta sounds a bit like the Tailypo, which is a giant cat-like monster who hunts people, searching for its missing tail. Right on!
Depending on how you’re doing Meta, I’m imagining, like, it’s winter in the rural South. Dedede and his mother are poor and have to live off the land. Meta Knight just decides, ‘ah, I shall help these people hunt for the winter!’ and he just drops, like giant freaking deer on their porch. And Dedede is just, ‘how...how did you...carry that?’
If you were going to do Nightmare, he’d have--like--Blair Witch powers and go around tormenting random people in the woods just because he could.
If it’s like a more modern AU, a bunch of monster hunters descend upon the woods, trying to find Meta Knight, with differing levels of irritating/endearing.
I mean, let’s be real; it’s the South. Someone would probably try to shoot him. Maybe that’s why he ends up on Dedede’s porch.
I’m just imagining Dedede and Delilah trying to hide Meta from their small town nosy neighbors? And he’s either a small, orphaned bat-child or [insert distant relative who probably had a lot of dark secrets]’s son. Like, ‘you know my cousin Dahlia had, like, a billion illegitimate children, don’t you?’
Alternatively, it’s a small town. All of Dedede’s family lives on the same street as him, and it’s impossible to hide anything from them. Who is that bat-child?
This would actually work really well in a sort of post-war with Nightmare/Dark Matter kind of setting because a lot of Southern literature deals with it being post-war (usually the Civil War but not necessarily in more recent literature).

Backstory
Childhood
Loki was born in 9:9 Dragon to a human Fereldan named Farbauti and the Keeper of the Dalish Clan Iteliseth, Laufey. Farbauti died in childbirth, and the same day a few agitated hunters, upset by the death of the clan’s beloved adoptee (in spite of the baby’s survival), got into a skirmish with a few trespassing humans, which ended in bloodshed. In retaliation, the Teyrn of the territory – newly-formed, and the Teyrn newly-appointed – eliminated the clan in a bid to establish his power and authority.
Odin Borson slaughtered a good chunk of the clan – save for the Keeper, the baby, and those who surrendered. He kidnapped the infant Loki, less than 24 hours old, and told his wife that the child had been abandoned in the woods. Frigga Borson, an apostate with a gift for hiding her curse, raised the infant elf-blood alongside her own son, and concealed his emerging magical talent from those who would take him from her.
Loki grew up a quiet, withdrawn, bookish child – loved by his mother, but largely ignored by his father, whose approval he constantly sought. Deep down, he knew that he could never win it – his father valued strength of arm and valorous deeds, and only allowed Frigga to help Loki cultivate and conceal his gifts because he knew that losing the boy would devastate her.
Loki, acutely aware of this, grew to resent his elder brother, a golden child beloved by all and an ideal to which he knew he could never live up. Both children were, of course, trained in the art of war by their father, who had gained his position and title through martial prowess. Thor favored his father’s weapons of choice – swords, axes, and warhammers – but the keen and sickly Loki preferred weapons that would let him kill quickly and without risk that he would be hit: a rogue’s weapons. Daggers, bows, and the occasional shortsword. From one of the servants in the house, he learned the art of utlizing poisons – that she knew this art in the first place didn’t really worry him.
The Circle
In 9:21 Dragon, when Loki was 12 years old, Odin – fearing that the adopted child would lay claim to some of the lands and titles which were Thor’s rightful inheritance – Odin turned him in to the Chantry as a mage. He was taken to Kinloch Hold. A free spirit in many ways – and a person who had grown up respected nobility with the freedom to do whatever he pleased – Loki chafed under the yoke of imprisonment, constant supervision, and chronic Templar abuse. A young boy with a pretty face and oddly exotic features, he was often the target of such abuse – emotional, physical, and worse.
Still, he recognized his position: he had an entire world and history’s worth of knowledge at his fingertips, and a mind like a weapon. He read almost constantly, devouring the Circle library piece by piece, honing his intellect with books on magic, on history, on Dwarves, Elves, and Qunari. He retreated into his studies after each abuse with renewed vigor, determined to find something that would help free him and get vengeance simultaneously.
He did manage to have vengeance on a few of the worst offenders – young mages were often assigned various chores and duties, and Loki especially relished the days when he was tasked with working in the kitchen. He had become a proficient alchemist and potioneer, and he had found that certain reagents would cause illness or even death when mixed with high quantities of lyrium.
Sometimes – not always, for he didn’t wish to establish a pattern – he would mix these reagents into food meant for the Templars, whose lyrium-laced blood would react poorly. Once, he even managed to kill – simply by adding a slightly higher quantity to wine he was certain was going to a Templar who had sexually abused him. Nobody suspected the pale, willowy, bookish little teen who was ill and feverish more often than not (and who lied with stunning skill when questioned). Eventually, they put it down to bad wine and bad luck.
The Firstborn
When Loki was 15 years old, in 9:24 Dragon, he caught a careless young Templar named Svadilfar – who had a tendency to pay excessive attention to the younger mages – trying to take advantage of a child who could not have been more than 13. Loki seduced him away from the little boy, but it naturally came at a cost – the Templar had not been prepared for a more mature victim, and in his eagerness, failed to take the necessary precautions to prevent the sort of tangible consequences that could bring the Chantry down upon him.
Somehow, the First Enchanter managed to protect the pregnant teenage mage from being silenced in his sleep. He even sent word to Loki’s father to make sure that someone outside of the Circle knew about this – so that if something were to happen to the baby after its birth, there was the chance that someone would be held accountable.
Even so, Loki spent the better part of a year in isolation, at his own request. He spoke to no one. He did not leave his room. Loki had thus far managed to hide his more self-loathing predilections, so few precautions were taken to keep him or the unborn baby safe.
He was allowed access to books and parchment and ink and quills, even reagents and ingredients to occupy him during his self-imposed imprisonment. And he experimented, trying to induce early labor, kill the fetus, abort this thing before it could reach a stage where it might qualify as an actual person. He failed. The child was born… wrong. Disfigured. A beautiful boy, but for the fact that it had two extra arms and two extra legs. Not unheard-of, but exceedingly rare.
The Templars raged. The Chantry railed. And Odin – who had known of the child’s existence before its birth – had already sent for it to be transferred to him. What could they do? He was a Teyrn who wished to hold his grandson. The Templar that fathered the baby said nothing, for to do so would be to reveal himself the perpetrator of the crime and take ownership and responsibility for this monstrous child. So the child went to Odin, and Odin took pity on the infant (as per usual) and raised him in secret, hidden from the world, a hideous, malformed thing in the eyes of all who encountered him, abhorrent to the Maker – and yet, still family, after a fashion. And useful.
And Loki believed that his child was dead, and thought it a mercy that he wouldn’t need to live in this world Andraste should have let burn centuries ago.
Suicide and Escape
When Thor was 14 years old, his brother was wrenched from him by the Chantry, and sent to live in a Circle where Thor could not protect him. The young heir, to his father’s dismay, rejected his titles and inheritance (those same titles and inheritance that had prompted Odin to send his adopted son away in the first place), and joined the Templar Order. He asked to be stationed at the Circle Tower so that he could protect his mage brother, a plea so impassioned that the Chantry granted it.
When he was 18 years old and Loki was 16, in 9:25 Dragon, they were reunited, and Loki found that the instances of abuse began to wane. But it came at a cost. From his brother, Loki learned the truth about his heritage – that he was an Elf (and Dalish at that), and the story behind his kidnapping. Loki’s dislike for Elves tripled, and his desire to leave the Circle and prove to his father that he was worthy of love and respect was rekindled.
In 9:29 Dragon, a year before the beginning of the Blight, Thor was transferred to a different Circle for telling Loki the truth and causing possible upset. This, of course, only made things worse; in Thor’s absence, Loki’s abusers became emboldened once more, and – now with the knowledge that he was an Elf – it increased to unbearable levels.
It was at this time that he underwent his Harrowing. He toyed with the idea of accepting possession and letting himself be killed by the Templars, but decided that if he was going to die, it was going to be outside the walls of his prison. His Harrowing was successful, and he emerged unattached... and in that moment of relief and dropped guard, bolted for the nearest window, snatching a Templar’s sword as he went. He used the sword to shatter the glass, and threw himself into the void before anyone could react.
The Templars searched for his body for days, to no avail. He had bled heavily from the cuts the glass left, and his magical essence had been dispersed into the water. Nobody could have survived that fall, of course – so eventually they gave up the search, assuming that his broken corpse had simply taken on water and sunk rapidly into the lake. They did a cursory scan of the northern shores for footprints – but finding nothing out of the ordinary, they put the search to rest.
Even Loki, when he found himself on the bank of the river flowing out of Lake Calenhad into the sea, bones healed and lungs free of water, was baffled by his survival. What came next, however, almost made him wish for the relative safety of the Circle. He doesn’t speak of what happened then. Not even to those closest to him. Only… he often wakes in the middle of the night, crying out in pain and fear. He speaks of demons, and of Darkspawn, and that is all.
Apostasy
Word soon reached Thor of his brother’s suicide. Grief-stricken, and unable to believe that his brother was truly dead, Thor begged to return to Kinloch to search for his brother’s body and give him a proper funeral. His Knight Commander took pity on him and gave him dispensation to search for Loki by whatever means necessary. As soon as Thor touched Loki’s phylactery – phial now archived among the rest of those who had passed – he felt it. The pull of magic, leading him away from the tower toward where his brother’s body lay. Except… it pulled him even further. Beyond the lake, even beyond Redcliffe. West, towards the Frostback Mountains and their father’s Teyrnir.
With a several-week head start, Loki had gone searching for the Iteliseth Clan – what remained, at least – believing that if he brought the head of his birth father to his adopted father, he would prove himself Odin’s true son. Like Odin before him, Loki left few survivors. He single-handedly slaughtered most of the clan’s hunters, and it was only when Laufey surrendered and was slain that Loki was satisfied to leave the rest alive. He brought the head of Laufey back to Odin, who simply told him to go home. Back to the Circle.
Children of Apostasy
Hunted, haunted, and pursued, Loki fled west, into the Frostback Mountains, believing that such a wild and inhospitable place might offer some protection from the forces following him. From his brother and the Templars, but also perhaps from the demons seeking him. It didn’t, and an encounter with a group of Templars (minus his brother) left them dead and Loki wounded.
To his dismay, he was found by the Alaslin'dahl Clan, Dalish elves with a particularly vicious, vengeful bent. The smell of blood on him didn’t seem to deter them – and in fact, his apostasy, hostility toward the Chantry, considerable martial and magical skill, and education in a diverse range of subjects made him a great asset.
He was given a choice: join or die. They offered protection and community, and in return he would teach them to read and write, and lend his magic in whatever capacity was required of him. The Keeper, Sul'em'abelas, soon took a liking to the keen-minded and ruthless elf-blooded mage, and in 9:33 Dragon they were married.
Around the same time, Loki was given the vallaslin of Dirthamen. But while he never would go so far as to call it worship, he felt a deeper kinship with the Dread Wolf – the patron god of the Alaslin'dahl Clan.
He sired three children with Sul'em'abelas over the next three years: sons Fenris and Joral, and daughter Ras'Vilem (or Ras for short). For a time, there was peace – as much as the Alaslin'dahl Clan would allow, at least, and for several years Loki lived with his family in the forest, and was almost allowed to forget that he was a wanted man.
Death and the Tower
In 9:39 Dragon, when he was 30 years old, Loki had gone off with several companions to do reconnaissance on alleged troop movement nearby. He and his companions returned to screaming, smoke, and the clamor of battle. They managed to drive off the attacking Templars, but not without heavy casualties. Sul'em'abelas survived, along with Loki and a few hunters, all heavily-wounded. Some children had fled into the woods, and also managed to survive. Loki’s children were not among them, yet their bodies were nowhere to be found. The Keeper’s First also seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Loki and Sul'em'abelas, half-dead from their wounds, began to pursue the Templars, but were quickly detained by the living hunters. What did they plan to do when they caught up? Did they – two dying Dalish mages – really think they could take on the Templars? They didn’t seem to care, but the hunters managed to overpower them and bring them back to camp.
The Keeper’s First of a nearby clan was sought, and by the time Loki and Sul'em were well enough to go hunting, it was already too late. The trail had gone cold, and the children were lost. Grief-stricken, Loki left his clan and beloved wife, promising to return once he found their children.
It was all too convenient, and Loki suspected that the Templars were not, in fact, rogue, but were acting under orders. Once outside the protection of is clan (who had traveled to the Brecilian Forest), Thor and his companions apprehended him, and dragged him back to their father’s hall – where Loki had, in fact, intended to go in the first place. He learned that Odin had indeed been behind the attack, and Odin told him that the children had been executed for apostasy, and that the only reason why Loki would not be was because his mother wouldn’t allow it. Therefore, he would not be returned to the Templars, because they would likely execute him immediately; he would instead, at Frigga’s request, be kept alive in the keep’s dungeon for the rest of his miserable life.
A few months later, the keep was raided by a rogue band of Tal-Vashoth seeking vengeance against Odin, whose father had been responsible for a campaign against them many years prior. Frigga attempted to protect Thor’s young fiancee, and was killed in the attack; Thor enlisted Loki, a skilled tracker after his time with the Dalish, to seek vengeance upon them. He would have to return to his cell thereafter, of course – but at least they would have vengeance.
Loki agreed. Thor, Loki, and Thor’s fiancee (whose overwhelming survivor’s guilt made her presence a necessity by her own reckoning) slipped out from under the Teyrn’s nose and pursued the Tal-Vashoth into hostile territory, where they were able to ambush and kill most of them. Thor was nearly slain by the same individual who had killed their mother, and was rescued at the last minute by Loki. The victory was bittersweet, however, as the murderer used his dying moments to take vengeance on the apostate.
The trick Loki used to convince his brother that he died in his arms was one that his mother had taught him as a child to conceal his magic, adapted to make his pulse and breath appear still, and his skin and blood seem cold.
With hostile scouts bearing down, and no time to bury his brother, Thor and his fiancee swiftly departed to Kirkwall to help deal with the rebellion rumored to be brewing. Loki, wounded but alive, struck out for Kirkwall as well, determined to continue the search for his children.
After months of bad leads and dead ends, Loki returned to Ferelden to deal with his father. He entered the castle disguised as an elven servant, and cornered Odin in his bedchamber. But as he went to deal the final blow, he found that he could not; Odin had raised him, and Loki would always be his child. He wiped the old man’s memory instead, then stole a horse, and dumped Odin by the side of the road in a tiny, backwater town. He could live out his life there as a beggar, as far as Loki cared – or a servant, if he was very lucky. Death would be a more fitting punishment, but a miserable life would suffice.
For a time, Loki ruled the Teyrnir as the only legitimate heir – but he soon realized that the center could not hold. Templars were beginning to grow suspicious, as were the servants, and Loki knew that it was only a matter of time before his brother returned. He had also come no closer to finding his lost children, whom he was convinced were still alive; limiting contact with the Templars also meant limiting his chances of obtaining information from them. He would have to switch strategies if he was going to find them.
Inquisition
Rumors soon reached his ears of the newly-formed Inquisition – and how the Chantry was denouncing it. Leery of a group that seemed to be starting a holy war – but emboldened by the Chantry’s dislike – he went to Haven to see if he could join. Perhaps, at least, they could give him some protection; if he was very lucky, perhaps they could also help him find information about his lost children.
To his surprise, Thor showed up at Haven not a week later. Having learned that his father had vanished, Thor put a few pieces of the puzzle together, but not all; he was still quite surprised to find his brother alive. Thor joined as well, for less selfish reasons; the Breach was a threat no one with a conscience could ignore, and he believed it his duty as a Templar – and as a person – to protect the world from whatever was spilling out of the rifts and do what he could to amend the entire situation. His fiancee, a brilliant scholar, historian, and astronomer in her own right, was glad to assist as well.
Thor and Loki now have an easy truce; they had always loved each other, and are healing the rift that their father had driven between them. Loki often speaks of his wife and children and the pain of that loss, and Thor goes to Loki for help when lyrium withdrawal becomes too much to cope with.
Reunion (with sinnhelmingr)
Sometime after the Inquisition relocates to Skyhold, a mysterious elven man shows up with a young girl. She is immediately recognized as Loki’s daughter, Ras’vilem. Father and daughter are tearfully reunited, and Ras starts on the long path to healing from her ordeal.

Fanfiction Writer Appreciation Recs
I’ve seen a bunch of people doing these, and i really wanted to too. I may be late to the party here, but I hope I can point you towards some cool stuff to check out. Most of what I read in the fanfiction circle is Gravity Falls, so this post is mostly just multi chapter fics from the Gravity Falls fandom! I might do one for one-shots, and I’m sorry if I forget any major ones, but this is what immediately comes to mind that I highly recommend.
Stanswap by @orangeoctopi7
Reverse Portal AU at it’s best! The Reverse Portal AU was popular for a while (almost on par with Blind Faith) and a lot of people tried to grab onto the idea, but after all this time, it just seems to have left a lot of incomplete works in it’s wake. That is not the case here. It’s still going, but it shows no sign of stopping until it tells it’s entire story. And this story has been insanely detailed and well executed. Retelling almost the entire series as if Ford was the one taking care of the kids, and the dilemmas he faces with the fact that Stan is stuck on the other side of the portal. Not to mention most of the jokes are on point with something you’d hear in Gravity Falls. The author is someone I am proud to call my friend, and that all started when this fic was recommended to me.
30 Seconds Later by @invisibletinkerer
A pretty recent one that i really hope gets more attention. I’ve seen people do fanart and stuff of Ford being the same age as when he got sucked into the portal, while his home dimension and Stan aged, but I didn’t really see much potential for a full story in that idea. That changes with this fic, which again is still ongoing, but updates fairly regularly. The interactions between the Grunkle Stan we know and love and a Ford who is still fresh from his sleep deprived paranoia days, and still susceptible to Bill’s possession brings so much engaging conflict that i cannot get enough of!
My Demons by @kazriku
An oldie but a goodie. This one is basically a Mystery Trio story that focuses mostly on Stan and Ford, and the first chapter was written before A Tale of Two Stans came out. Adjustments were made after that episode came out, but this fic is very much telling it’s own story on how the Stans became so distant, and the incident that lead to Ford being trapped on the other side of the portal. Filled with mysterious suspense and some entertaining brotherly bonding, even if it hasn’t updated in a while, if we’re talking about fanfics I appreciate, there was no way i couldn’t include this one. It was the first major GF Fanfic I read from the person who would become my first mutual, and chances are this fic lead to me reading all the ones you see here!
By the skin of your teeth by @apathetic-revenant
I didn’t realize just how popular this one was until today, but it deserves it. It’s so good! When Stan gets into his argument with Ford after Ford calls him for the first time in 10 years, he realizes that something's wrong with Ford. He’s very sick and his house is a wreck. There is so much tension and angst in this one as Stan puts the pieces together about what’s been going on with his brother, and Ford continuing to fight what seems like a losing battle. There’s a happy ending, but it takes quite a bit to get there, and it is glorious!
And Then There Were Three by @kalajorn
I’m just going to say it. This is one of my favorite Mystery Trio stories. Ever! With an author who I think really is under the radar in the community. Mystery Trio is probably my favorite AU for Gravity Falls, but depending on who you ask, it either got stronger or weaker once A Tale of Two Stans came out. For me, it only got stronger, and this fic is an excellent example of why. I adore the scenario presented here of how Stan and Ford eventually reunite. How there is some spark of their connection as brothers still there, but there are still forces interfering with that, and using the material from canon to build some great tension. Updates take some time, but i promise you it’s worth it. This story only gets more engaging with each chapter and i’m hoping it’ll stay that way.
A Little Bit Lost by @impishnature
Impish is really a beacon of life for the GF fandom. Regularly producing high quality content of all kinds. I could have put any number of her stories on here. If you miss Gravity Falls, and you want to reminisce about it over a weekend, scroll through her AO3. You’ll find a lot to enjoy. But one of my personal favorites is this compilation of fics surrounding the Feral Ford AU. An AU that vanished as quickly as it arrived. I was even going to write something small on it, but i just never got to it. Anyway, these stories of a paranoid, almost animalistic Ford from what trauma he faced on the other side of the portal is just so powerful. Every idea has a new obstacle. Sometimes it’s comforting. Sometimes it’s heartbreaking. But there’s always something to grab your attention and not let go. I come back to these a lot, and they are always a great read.
I’d also recommend her Mystery Trio fic Phobos, but that one hasn’t updated for a while. But I still really like it so here ya go!
Maybe it’s Not Too Late by @rum-and-shattered-dreams
Why was this one so hard to find? It’s awesome! One of the reasons I’ve dived so deeply into Gravity Falls fanfiction more then any other fandom I’ve been in, is because even after the official shows credits rolled, it still left us with so much potential for what other adventures were out there. And this is one of the best examples of that. It’s a great, insanely engaging post series adventure involving pretty much the entire main cast and the return of the Shapeshifter, with Fiddleford and Ford as the main focus. Yes, it is partly a Ship Fic, which I’m not crazy about, but I don’t really find it distracting. There is so much in this story, and the shipping is just another element of it. And FiddAuthor is one of the ships I tolerate more, so I don’t really mind that much. The rest is just too dang good!!
Better Kept Secret by BadonKaDank
Another one that nearly alluded my radar until a friend mentioned it to me back when it had just completed, and I’m glad they did because this story is AMAZING! Having someone from one of the boys’ past come back for revenge is another premise that was circulating for a while that I freaking adored!! There were a few good pieces of writing out there on this (and even a comic currently going on), but this fic is at the top of the chart for me. Filled with drama, action, intense and suspenseful moments, it’s one that really stuck with me that i can’t believe I almost missed.
Goodnight Stanley by Kitsunesocks
I haven’t seen many people mention this one, and while it may not be the most angst filled story involving the Stan Bros, it’s still a great one. Without giving too much away, while Stan and Ford are getting ready to head back to Gravity Falls, they discover that Bill might not be entirely gone, and that he may be plotting a way to come back right under their noses. Despite how common it is, this is a premise I’ve never been crazy about. I think @thesnadger Axolotl is the only story like this to engage me past the first chapter. Except this one. This is a great adventure of a story. The pacing is excellent and the characters are on point. Some of the most accurate I think I’ve seen in a Gravity Falls fic. I especially appreciate how proactive Dipper and Mabel are in this story. A lot of fics like this tend to push them to the side to make room for the Stans. But this story makes good use of everyone involved. It’s not the most emotionally driven story out there, but it’s one of the most well put together stories I’ve seen in a GF fic.
Blind Faith by @pinesinthewoods
Oh my God! This one! I originally wasn’t going to include this one because I know the author is no longer active in the fandom, but again, appreciation post. And this story deserves to be appreciated no matter what. You all know this AU, where Stan and Ford both wind up on the other side of the portal, and have to face the horrors on the other side together. Blind Faith was already fairly popular at this point, but this story propelled it to something else. Something stronger. Something with depth. Leaving you with chills as you finish every chapter. Aside from My Demons, this is probably the first fanfic I was checking for updates on, daily. This brought many new ideas to the AU that you still see in the occasional new content today, and that is something truly special. This is from yet another author who I am proud to call a friend, and it’s weird to think that back then, I was just a fan of something a lot of other people were. I’m sure most of you have read this one, but if you haven’t, go read it! It’s one of the best out there.
Stanley McGucket by @thelastspeecher
This is the sort of fic I don’t normally care for. Tons of original characters and a lot of shipping. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just not for me. But the premise was just too intriguing to resist. The idea of Stan being offered a job from Fiddleford’s parents and basically becoming an honorary member of the McGucket family is a really endearing premise. And when certain characters reunite or put the pieces together about who they are to each other, it really gets the ball rolling. You’re just waiting to see how everything will turn out, and it’s a pretty great ride. I followed this story and it’s expansions for a while. Then it branched into multiple AUs on it’s own and it just got way too confusing to keep up with the tag. But the main story is still a enjoyable ride from a type of fic that usually doesn’t grab me. But it had an interesting idea that pulled me in, and followed through on it. Welcome to the McGucket Family Tree Stanley
Amnesia by @ducksalive
Okay, yeah. This one isn’t technically a Gravity Falls fic. But I’m really into Ducktales right now and i was running out of Gravity Falls stories. So yeah, I’ve started diving into Ducktales fan fiction. Even wrote one of my own which you should definitely check out. Please? There’s not much out there that’s grabbed me as much as these other stories yet (if anybody knows any good Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera/Gizmoduck stuff out there, let me know), but something about this one had my attention.
I’m one of those people who is immediately intrigued by amnesia stories but the reason most people aren’t is because of how often they can go wrong. So far, that’s not the case here. In this story, Donald is the one with amnesia, and Glomgold finds him and convinces him that he’s his uncle, and that Scrooge is the enemy. From there it’s a race to try and help rescue Donald from a trap he doesn’t even know he’s in. While Donald constantly suffers for it. If you’re the type of person who likes family angst (which chances are you do if you’re a fan of any of the above fics) then you’ll get a kick out of this. Every time you think the family is going to get Donald back, Glomgold manages to snatch him away. And realizing just how far he’s willing to go to keep Scrooge’s nephew on his side is just shocking. This is another story that’s still ongoing, so there’s no telling how this will conclude yet, but at the moment, I am very emotionally invested in this one.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve gotten way more into fanfiction then I ever would have imagined. I never looked twice at it before, but now I’ve been a spectator to many creative stories, the authors of some of my favorites have become some of my closest friends, and I’ve even written a couple myself. I may be late to the actual day, but I hope this shows my appreciation for all the fanfic writers above and a few dozen I’m probably forgetting at the moment.

Vampire au info bc........spoopy
Disclaimer I have taken from various vampire ideas so I'm not following and one preset rules for vamprisim and tbh some of this is out of my ass bullshit so ye
Some background. Vamprisim is more a paranormal disease than anything. That being said, it's powers and potency have decreased over the years. The farther from the original generations of vampires you get, the less potent the whole thing is.
You've got the oldest generations. Very traditional, freaky looking whole thing. Can go out in sunlight but only bc their magic is so old. First idk three generations ish.
Then you've got then next grouping which is like the 4-6th generation. They're kinda caught in the worst of it because they're not as strong as the oldest ones but are still too old to habe had much of the drawbacks diminished. Most of the evil assholes come from these.
6th-10th are the chill everyone knows them vampires. P standard stuff.
11th gens are interesting bc they mark a turning point. By their time, vampires had begun developing magical and mortal means to ease their affliction. But still p rusty.
12-13ths are the most chill "vampires" every bc they're almost not. Like by this point, vamprisim is more herpes than hiv.
There is now, however, a rising 14th generation which don't seem to have any of the natural drawbacks of vamprisim. Of course they only have just barely noticeable perks as well, but I'll get to that.
Libertus falls in the 11th-12th ish category. These generations are very generalized.
That being said, he was turned around the time Niflheim invaded Galahd. Very fledgling, but as a later generation it wasn't too difficult to hide or deal with. He's somewhat weakened by sunlight but it only really shows when he needs to feed.
He can comfortably feed lightly maybe five times a month. Of course he can feed more often pulling even less blood than that. He can starve for about three months before being in danger of killing to satisfy himself but by four months he'll be in a frenzy. Modern vampires also have blood substitutes he usually takes.
He has mildly enhanced senses, strength, stamina, all that. He isn't ice cold, but it also depends on how well fed he is. Like all vampires, he does have certain charm and magical capabilities, but again as a later generation they're fairly mild. He can focus to strengthen any of these, of course.
Anatomically, all vampires are able to keep their bodies functioning like mortals so long as they care for them appropriately. Needless to say, Libertus's body is near indistinguishable from a mortal's despite not needing to be cared for as such. Things like sleeping and eating mortal food, etc. That being said, Libertus can eat and it all tastes the same and such, it just gives him very little substinance.
Vampires typically do have certain allergies too. He's reactant to rice and some other grain as lactose intolerant people are to milk products. Thats also appropriate to how he deals with rice and other grain. Rather than bowel issue however, he breaks out in hives and swelling.
Things like stakes only affect him as much as it would any mortal. Religious symbols also hold no effect on him or any other vampire. Pure silver however can and will cause burns.
On the subject of silver, vampires didn't have reflections because mirrors used to be lines with silver. As modern mirrors do not, he has no issue. However, old style mirrors do not show a reflection. This is true of all vampires, regardless of generation.
Going back to the subject of magic. Libertus is capable of vampric magic and has a vague understanding of related blood magic, but no real knowledge of it himself. He avoids using it as much as possible.
Some vampires can shapeshift. Libertus cannot.
Some vampires choose to create clans or families. While it's not specifically looked down upon, it's often been so problematic to have mortals in a family that it is heavily discouraged. Libertus has been offered to be taken in by a few vampric families at this point but has refused to bound his loyalties to any one, instead forming his own sort of mixed mortal/paranormal family.
Vampires do have their own ancient language, but it can be related to Latin. Some do know it and one can see it's roots still in modern language but it's not directly relevant. That being said, most vampires use a dialect based in a mix of their nearby mortal language and this ancient vampric one.
Libertus's eyes will flash red in moments of deep emotion, regardless the emotion. Rage, delight, hurt, releif, etc.
Finally, Libertus doesn't keep any specific familiar, but isn't a stranger to local semi domesticated wildlife. You would not believe the gossip these alley cats have. Or the dogs, crows, all the like, actually.
The only other notable thing as far as powers and the like is he wears an enchanted ring given to him by a dragon (bc those can exist too why not shhh). This ring allows him to store up his power and release it in times of emergency. It also helps keep him mostly mortal.
He was turned by a fellow Galahdan. He's rather closed about the specific circumstances, but doesn't seem to be on particularly good or bad terms with who turned him.

Wildlife Rehab AU: hurt/comfort with a side of fluff?
HWRC Redux AU
One Two Three Four
Really more of a sickfic, but there’s plenty of fluff. Mostly just silly cuddling shenanigans. I skipped right over all the plot angst to get here
Dirthamen (mentioned), Fear, and Deceit are @feynites
It starts with a sneeze.
“Ugh,” Des drawls, dressed only ina very loosely tied robe embroidered with what Selene is pretty sure areactual golden flower petals as he greets her by their entrance to the crossroads. “Didthe germ monsters get to you again?”
“They’re just kids,” Selene sniffs,wiping at her nose with a fresh tissue from her bag. “I had akindergarten class this morning. It’s probably just something goingaround,”
“Why are you still substituting?”Des sighs, leaning dramatically against her for a brief moment beforeshe knocks against him with her shoulder. “Your partners have givenyou a literal castle of magic. Whaton Earth could you want besides that?”
“Myown source of income for financial dependence for one,” Selene saysas they move through the grounds and towards the castle itself. “Onefoot still in the real world, for another. I still can’t believe youquit.”
“Welive in a magical castle that doesn’t even need dusting,Selene. There’s always food, and Dirthamen gave me an entire teamof personal tailors -side note, I may have accidentally introducedcrop tops to the culture so look out for that- why would I evervoluntarily go back to the life where I had bills and debts andresponsibilities?”
Seleneopens her mouth to argue, but ends up going into a coughing fitinstead, quickly covering her mouth with a fist. Fear steps out fromsome shadowy corner and takes Selenes face in their hand.
“Whatis wrong with you?” They ask.
Seleneblinks and shakes her head out of their grip. “Nothing. Probablyjust allergies. Maybe I’m allergic to the pollen of one of thehundreds of plants youhave here that I’ve never encountered before.”
Dessnickers, but Fear just stares at her as though she has grown anotherhead.
Orsomething else that might be considered strange and unusual to them.
“Ido not understand,” They say flatly.
“She’ssick,” Des snorts.
“Youwere poisoned?” They frown, hair-like feathers on their head risingin alarm. “Do you know what kind? What did it taste like? We shouldhave an antidote somewhere, follow me-”
“Iwasn’t poisoned,” Selene assures them. “I had a class of youngkids today, and occasionally one of the hazards of my job is germacquisition. It’s just the sniffles. I’ll take a hot shower and befine by morning.”
Fearlooks at her as though they do not quite believe her, and wouldrather whisk her off to visit their healers all the same; itcertainly wouldn’t be the first time.
“Thisis….normal?” Fear asks Des dubiously.
“Yeah,”Des shrugs. “You’ve been around for millenia, you’ve never seensomeone get sick?”
“Wedo not have these sorts of illness,” Fear frowns. “Isthere….how do you expunge it from your system?”
“Time,”Selene says with a small sniff. “There’s medicines, but mostly theyjust hide the symptoms. Besides, it could still be nothing. Iwouldn’t worry about it.”
Feardoes not push the subject.
Theyregret it by morning.
Selenestumbles out of her overly extravagant bed, furs and blankets wrappedtightly around her form as her feet make contact with the harsh coldof the floor.
“Uggh….”She groans, fumbling around the room until she finds her phone in herbag, slowly searching for her works number. “Moira…?Yeah….yeah, again, m'sorry….yeah….yeah….ok, thanks…youtoo.”
Shehas just managed to fall back into her bed when there is a loud knockon her door.
Grumblingall the way, still wrapped up in blankets and resenting that no onehere seems to make socks, shefinally opens the door.
“Plaguebearer,” Des accuses from the entry way, wrapped in his ownblanket. “I’m in a land where people can shapeshift and haveimmortal endurance, and you’ve gone and turned me into a mucusfactory. The man who draws mybaths screamed when hesaw me this morning, and not in our usual fun sort of way, but thatsort of ‘oh no im going to die’ sort of way.”
Selenecoughs and moves out of the way as he enters her room. “Well youknow me; becoming a walking symbol of pestilence is just my overlycomplicated way of flipping off my father.”
“Couldn’tyou have taken a more stereotypical approach to your daddy issues?”
“I’mgoing to sneeze directly on you, and you are going to deserveit.”
Theybicker all the way back into her bed, and Selenes head has finallyhit her pillow when there is yet another round of knocks.
“I’mnot getting up again,” she declares before yelling for the personto let themselves in.
It isFear.
Featherhair thin, eyes somehow more sunken in than usual, and the bottomhalf of their body still talon-like and looking like a ratherpoorly-fed harpy.
“Ido not like these germs; please take them back.”
Desbreaks out into a fit of laughter, broken up by thick, wet coughs.“There’s a bird flu joke in here somewhere, wait, wait, let me findit…”
Selenesighs and pats at the space beside her on the bed.
“Timeis the only cure I’m afraid. Cuddling and affection can help though.And naps. Lots of naps.”
“Andliquids,” Des adds.
“Doyou have orange juice here?”
“Iwill have Deceit fetch us some,” Fear grumbles, settling againstSelenes side. Their usual lower body temperature is still present,and it feels wonderful against her skin, so she opens up her blanketcocoon and pulls them directly against her.
Theystiffen, and she hums against their head. “You are very cool,” Sheadmits. “It feels really nice. Do you mind?”
Thereis a beat of silence before they relax against her. “If it helps,it is fine.”
Thethree of them drift off back to sleep easily, fatigue already caughtup to them for the day.
Seleneisn’t sure exactly how long it’s been when she feels Deceit crawlagainst her back.
“You’regoing to get sick,” She warns them quietly.
“Sickdoesn’t seem so bad,” They muse, face nuzzled into the crook of herneck. Their own body temperature has changed to match Fears, so shedoesn’t argue the point, allowing them to make a barrier between theunusually high temperature she and Des were already radiating.
“Wecan not both be sick,” Fear gripes from their own space.
“Thenit is my turn,” Deceit argues.
“TheGreat Aspect will be too distracted-”
“Youhave been cuddling her for hours,it is my turn-”
“Iam incapacitated andvulnerable, it ishardly a vacation-”
“Youare relaxed for the first time in centuries, are you really trying tofool me-”
“Ohmy gods you two really are just like birds arguing outside a windowat too-fuckin’-early o'clock, you know that?” Des interrupts,apparently unhappy at being pulled out of his own slumber. “Did youbring me juice?”
“Itis on the table,” Deceit says sheepishly.
Desrises from the bed with a yawn, blowing his nose out into a tissueand tossing it into a nearby trash bin with a disgusted face. Hedoesn’t bother pulling on his robe or taking his blankets, insteadtelling Selene it’s 'just too hot for clothes’ while practicallychugging down his orange juice.
“I’mmarried now, I’m not giving you pity sex,” She grumbles back, stillhalf dazed.
Fearmurmurs something into her chest she can’t quite make out, buttightens their own hold on her. Long bony fingers press against theskin of her back, and she gives them a reassuring kiss on the head inreturn.
Deceitfeels positively put out (and adjusting to aura’s has been a wholeother adventure she regrets now, the buzz of magic in the roomonly adding to her disorientation) and ends up nudging Selene to situp so that she can drink her own glass of juice.
Shethanks them, sitting up and nudging Fear to do the same while Deceitslings themselves over her back.
“Isthis what you normally do when you are 'sick’?” they ask her.
“Mostly,”She admits “This and watch TV. Cooking shows or movies orsomething. It’s soothing, somehow.”
“Doyou want me to get you a TV?” They ask.
Seleneblinks, looking at their surroundings, mind still in a bit of a fog.
“Wouldwe…how would you power it?”
“I’llfigure that part out,” They say dismissively. “But you would feelbetter with your television?”
“Isure would,” Des chimes in.
Deceitlooks at them un-impressively (still bitter about the door incident,she thinks), and turns back to Selene expectantly.
“Iwouldn’t mind it,” She tells them.
Deceitnods, and dashes off.
Shefalls back into bed with Fear curled into her chest and Des at herback, dozing back to sleep again.
Thesun is very high in the sky when she wakes again, Deceit radiatingpride as they gesture to the television.
Thatis not her television,by any means.
Shetells them as much.
“Thisone is better,” They tell her. “It is bigger, and the picturequality is much more impressive.”
“Didyou pay for it?” sheasks pointedly.
Deceitfrowns. “…Yes.”
Shepurses her lips, squinting at them slightly.
“Youshouldn’t worry about it so much,” They finally say, scooting backonto the bed as it turns on. There is a remote in their hands, andthe familiar opening of The Princess Bride starts playing on thescreen in front of them.
Selenesnorts, and Des lets out a grumbling groan about needing to showDeceit that Other Movies Exist before he scoots his head into theirlap all the same.
Deceitlooks about ready to push him back out until Selene adjusts to leanagainst their shoulder, Fear safely settled and dozing in her ownlap, legs tangled up beneath the sheets they had nearly kicked off intheir sleep.
“Youstill might get sick,” She warns Deceit as their arm settles overher shoulder.
“That’salright,” They hum. “Next time you can get me the juice.”

Merry Christmas!
Or happy winter holiday of your choice or happy New Year, as you prefer! : )
No new screenshots or quotes yet, I’m afraid - I’m stockpiling them so that if work gets really busy as it did this fall, I won’t just disappear off the face of the internet again. Ideally I plan to start posting regularly again in the new year.
In the meantime, I do have a little present for my Shadow Pond family and any other Royal Pains / Boris fans out there.
I have a few ideas that have been floating around in my head for months. I’ve written bits down here and there, but none of them are anything close to complete. So, for this holiday season, I’m going to lay out a brief summary and short snippet from five of these fic ideas and you wonderful people can tell me which one I should actually get down to writing.
Everyone - and by “everyone” I mean “anyone who reads this post” - gets two votes, and the fic with the most votes by January 8th is the one I’ll start really working on. Hopefully I’ll be able to start posting in February or March - we’ll see! (The other ideas will probably be written eventually, but I’ll give priority to the one people like best and work to get it finished.)
So let me know what sounds good to you and have a very merry Christmas / happy holiday / fun New Year’s!! Fic samples under the cut! ^_~
*Note: These are all Boris/Hank fics because that’s how I roll. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
1) The Shapeshifter AU
Wherein Boris is a shapeshifter and Shadow Pond serves as a safe haven for other shifters. When Hank crashes a party and saves the life of a guest, Boris decides he is the ideal candidate - not only to become Boris’s personal doctor, but also to help with a plan of even greater importance. Hank, meanwhile, knows that his new boss is a very private, even secretive man…but he has no idea just how much Boris is hiding. [This one has the potential to get super long, just to warn you. It mmight take longer to see any of it.]
—
“So what was the big hurry?” Evan asked as soon as Hank came onto the patio. “Everything okay?”
“Yeah, everything’s fine,” Hank said as he passed him. “Just a bite.”
“A – a bite?” Evan repeated. “Like a wo– uh, a dog bite, or uh…something else?”
Hank turned slowly. Evan only got that high-pitched and agitated when he’d done something that he knew Hank wouldn’t like. “What do you mean, something else?” If this was leading up to some wild theory that Boris was a vampire…
“I, uh, nothing? I didn’t mean anything! I was just – I’m not supposed to know, I’m not supposed to say anything –”
“You tell me right now,” Hank interrupted, cutting through the babble, “or –”
“The attack wolves are really wolves!” Evan blurted. “And there are tons of other animals up there, like foxes and bobcats and probably lions and tigers and bears for all I know –”
“Oh, sure.” Hank relaxed. “Boris just has a private menagerie that roams the property and bites unsuspecting –”
“Henry, I saw them,” Evan insisted, and he looked so completely serious that Hank couldn’t help but believe him.
A few more pointed questions and the whole story came spilling out. By the end of it, Hank was simmering with righteous indignation. It didn’t matter if the housekeeper had really been bitten by a “dog” or not – Boris had obviously coached her on what to say, lied repeatedly to Hank and Evan, and then threatened Evan into lying for him!
“I’ll be back soon,” he said grimly, and started back out toward the main house.
“Henry!” Evan caught at his arm. “Look, maybe we should just let it go. What if he feeds you to his pit of alligators or something?”
“No, Ev, I’m not gonna let this go. I won’t work for someone I can’t trust.”
This time, Evan let him go with a wordless noise of frustration. Hank was well on his way when he heard Evan yell, “If you’re not back by dinner, I’m calling animal control!”
2) The Season 8 Fix-It Fic
Wherein Hank doesn’t run off to find Jill, Boris doesn’t abandon Shadow Pond, and the two of them go on a vacation together instead. [Could go shorter or longer, but I’d say at least 5-10 chapters.]
—
Hank arrived to find Boris already seated, as per usual, with a newspaper.
“Hank.”
“Hey, Boris.” Hank sat with a quiet sigh. Then he straightened in his seat as Udo put a drink in front of him, knowing immediately that something was up.
That was a bottle of beer – and not just any beer, but Hank’s favorite, the one that Boris couldn’t see without getting a look of mild disdain.
Hank looked from the beer to Boris, who was wearing his blandest expression. Hank considered his options for a moment, then picked up the bottle and took a sip.
“Okay. What’s the occasion?”
Boris looked pleased. “I have a proposal for you, Hank.”
Hank grinned in spite of himself. “Yeah, I figured as much. What kind of international intrigue is it this time?”
“Nothing so exciting,” said Boris. He paused a moment, smoothing a hand across the linen tablecloth. “I would like to offer you a vacation, anywhere you like, as long as you like. No hidden agenda. Just some time away to think about what changes you want.”
3) The Deal with a Devil AU
Crossover with the short film Love, Lots of It (starring Campbell Scott). I wrote a prompt post for this idea a while back and started writing it myself. Whoops. ^_^;; [Not sure how long this would be? Honestly this is the one that needs the most planning still.]
—
There had been a story on campus, that’s what Rob had been talking about. It always made the rounds before major exams, this story about a man (or a demon or the devil, depending on who was telling it) who would grant the requests of the desperate. For a price, of course. Hank had always thought of it as just a running joke on campus, but there had been students who insisted it was true. None of them had ever seen the man in person – it was always “this girl who was here five years ago” or “my friend’s older brother’s lab partner” – but they were convinced nonetheless.
“This is stupid,” Hank said aloud. His voice sounded dull and flat in the oppressive silence of his apartment.
You’d do anything, huh? Really anything?
He stared blankly at the TV screen, not really seeing the silent, moving figures. He could just – go for a drive. Just get out of the apartment and away from the stacks of bills for a little while. He could just drive up that road, kind of a nod to one of the quirks of his alma mater. And if he brought a box, just in case… No one would ever have to know.
4) Hank gets kidnapped; Boris is Not Pleased
When Hank substituted his blood for Boris’s in Hong Kong, neither of them thought that Guy’s mysterious employers would target Hank himself. Unfortunately, they were wrong. [Again, could go shorter or longer. Sort of hurt/comfort, I guess, but very short on the hurt - nothing really awful is going to happen to Hank.]
I don’t have a good intro clip for this one, so have a longer summary: Hank receives an offer - a whole lot of money in exchange for just a little information about his employer. Bound by doctor-patient confidentiality and his own loyalty, Hank of course refuses. Alas, he’s dealing with people who won’t take no for an answer and is subsequently kidnapped. While Hank tries to stall for time and avoid giving his captors any useful information, Boris sets a search for him in motion and tries not to completely lose it. And of course, when eventually Hank’s location is discovered, Boris insists on handling the situation personally.
And here are the lines that kicked off this idea for me: Hank called him a word that he’d once heard Dmitry call Boris when Dmitry was particularly irate. Someone backhanded him viciously, and Hank decided to take that as a compliment on his pronunciation.
5) Hank has a secret admirer
Mysterious gifts start appearing outside the guesthouse for Hank. Who could this secret admirer possibly be?? [Short and very sweet. Like that’s the entire plot, Hank getting very thoughtful presents. And maybe falling in love. With Boris. In case you couldn’t tell.]
—
Hank was hardly an artist, but the portrait didn’t look like professional work to his untrained eye. But the level of detail, the warm, happy expression on portrait-Hank’s face… It felt so personal, so – Hank struggled for words – reverential, almost, that his breath caught in his chest.
“Well that’s creepy.”
Evan’s voice came out of nowhere, and Hank twitched in surprise. “Hey, that’s my face you’re talking about!” he said defensively.
“You’re right, that’s part of the problem,” Evan said, nodding, “but I was more thinking about the fact that you clearly have some kind of stalker.”
Hank laughed. “Ev, don’t be ridiculous.”
“I’m serious, Henry!” He pointed at the drawing. “Look at that – someone has been staring longingly at your face from the shadows and probably going through our trash. It’s creepy!”
Hank tilted the portrait toward his chest, feeling oddly protective of it. “You’re blowing this way out of proportion - nobody is going through our trash! I think you’re just jealous.”
“Jealous? Why would I – What –” Evan sputtered.
“Goodbye, Evan,” Hank said, making a quick exit and taking the latest gift with him.
Soooo those are the main fic ideas I have kicking around in my head right now. Tell me which two you’re most interested in reading and hopefully I’ll start posting the most popular choice in a few months. Happy holidays!
#Royal Pains#Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz#Hank Lawson#Boris/Hank#write the fic#my comrades in lust#our Shadow Pond family#ALL the RP / Boris fans#vote now!! get fic!!#i hope all of you are doing well and i promise i'll be around more in 2018

general hey all! i’m wren and i’m a 23 y/o grad student in the est time zone. i’ve been rping for over 10 years and am looking for some cool new people to plot and rp with. i’m usually bopping around on social media and love talking to my partners, whether it’s getting to know them or just plotting future events for our characters.
i’m also very ditch-friendly! if you’re tired of me or our rp, totally just ghost me, i’ll get the hint. no need to get all anxious over breaking up with a partner. it’s rping, it’s all chill. if you’re able to, giving me a head’s up that you’re not feeling the rp would be great though! i will absolutely return the courtesy if i’m not feeling it anymore either.
as a quick side note, i will only rp with people over the age of 18, and have a preference for partners over the age of 20! i just feel more comfortable when my partner is around the same age as me.
posts and characters i only write in third person past tense and would prefer for my partner to do the same. i’m very flexible with post lengths, but i tend to be on the wordy side. i’d love it if you could provide four or five paragraphs per post on average, though i absolutely value quality over quantity so post length isn’t a huge concern of mine as long as there’s something to reply to! longer posts are wonderful as well, and i have no issue waxing lengthy posts if that is your preference.
i generally reply at least once a day or once every other day, but even if i’m tied up with work and not able to reply consistently, i’ll absolutely be available to chat. i’ll let you know when i’m busy and love to shoot plot ideas back and forth even when i can’t put aside a chunk of time to reply.
characters! i love playing multiple characters, but having a singular main character is great too. i prefer playing OCs but can also do canons, which i’ll talk about more below. i have no preference about what sort of character you’re playing, that’s your decision! i like to develop new characters for each rp i do, but feel free to bring in old characters if that’s what you want! i like characters that are complex and interesting and not ultra-powerful people – or if they are, you’re able to explore the emotional repercussions of it. if you’re looking for a specific sort of character to play yours against, give me some guidelines before i whip up an OC and i’ll be happy to make someone that fits your needs. i adore creating characters, and like making side or background characters that pass through or come in and out of the plot.
i like creating characters before the plot, rather than the other way around. i have a huge preference for character-driven plots – putting our characters in a setting, and then letting their specific quirks and motivations lead where the rp goes next.
i also can provide rp samples if you’d like to see my writing before we rp!
genres; love and sex so first let me prattle off some original character genres that i love! i will list fandoms later.
• adventure; anything with a band of people coming together and forming a found family, traveling together on the way to a goal with obstacles thrown in their way • fantasy; i adore fantasy, whether it’s magical realism or all out medieval fantasy. world-building is one of my favorite things. sci-fi is great too, but i’m not great when things get too tech-y haha • paranormal/mythical creatures; sort of goes with the fantasy, but i’m always down to rp different species in any sort of setting • fairy tales; i love taking old fairy tales or stories and giving them a unique twist, whether it’s making them #gritty or just tossing them in a different sort of setting • superheroes; people with superpowers using it for good or evil and coming together yesss • romance; romance is great and i’ll discuss that below, but i prefer this to be like a sub-genre • AUs; i love taking a fandom and making it an alternate timeline or AUing it completely. also once we have characters and a rp established, i love love love talking about AUs for our characters. i will AU everything, there is no AU too AUish for me
those are just my favorites so feel free to suggest others, but i will not do slice of life. i just find myself bogged down when there’s not a defined plot, and it doesn’t keep my interest. i also love these things if you’d be interested in tossing any of them in the rp:
• mages • shapeshifters • daemons [like from his dark materials] • people with horns or wings • pirates • dragons
pairings what up what up. i love rps with a dash of romance, whether our characters come in as an awesome couple battle duo, or two dorks realizing they’re developing a crush on each other. either way, i don’t like characters who are not in a relationship immediately getting together – i’m all about the bonding and character development. i do not like rping cishet m/f pairings. bi girl and bi dude falling in love is great. trans man and trans woman falling in love is great. ace woman and a masculine nb person falling in love is great. any other type of lgbtqia+ pairing is great. if you have a general preference for m// or f// just let me know!
i also love anything unconventional, from happy polyamorous couples to obsessive unrequited pining. love triangles are great, conflict is great, anything to keep the relationship fresh and interesting without verging into the realm of over-dramatic. if you’re looking for someone to rp a dark and unhealthy romance with, i am your person. also if you want to rp cute poly couples, i am also that person.
i do not understand doubling. i thought it meant we just play multiple characters (which i love), not that we’re explicitly playing the other person’s LI. i’d rather us just play characters and then see who has chemistry.
for fandoms, i’ll do canon/canon and OC/OC but not canon/OC!
smut smut is totally rad, as long as it’s not the sole focus of the rp. i like the smut to add something to the character, the characters’ relationship, or the plot in addition to just being for porn’s sake. cute smut is great. dark smut is great. getting to do both is even better. i do have a handful of smut-based limits including things like water sports, pedophilia, vore – if you want a complete list just ask when you contact me. themes i would enjoy exploring typically depend on the character and what my partner’s limits are.
limits i don’t have any limits besides the aforementioned smut limits. besides that, i love violence, gore, and swearing. i like exploring dark themes when the rp calls for it. i do not like rping with people who treat trauma, abuse, and psychopathy as personal traits or try to make things obnoxiously dark and gritty. but otherwise everything’s pretty much on the table! if you have any limits please let me know – i have no problem not swearing or avoiding certain topics or fading to black if that is your preference.
fandoms i love many fandoms so if you’re itching for something just ask me about it. the only thing i don’t know squat about is pretty much all anime/manga. except naruto.
but here are the fandoms i do know stuff about and would love to rp! stars denote preference.
dragon age [origins; da2; inquisition] ✩✩✩ dragon age is my favorite thing in the world and i would love someone to rp it with. i have a preference for OCs though would also be up to rping canon characters. rping an OC MC with OC companions is my jam, though i also like exploring what the rest of the world is up to while the main plot is going on. also any AU of dragon age is great – inquisition in a modern setting, kirkwall with a sci-fi twist; universe diverging where the bad guy wins and stuff like that.
pokemon [any gen] ✩✩✩ i am always down for a pokemon rp you have no ideaaa. however i really like my pokemon rps more serious. i like exploring aspects of the pokemon world outside of just being a trainer and getting badges. i like to rp pokemon like they’re intelligent animals, meaning that wild pokemon aren’t so easily tamed and pokemon can get hurt. i’m also so down for crossbreeds/fusions. i have a wide variety plot ideas in mind for pokemon and would love to hear yours!
kingdom hearts [any game] ✩✩ i’ve been on this wild kh binge lately, to ease the ache in my heart that kh3 will probably come out in like 2020. i would love to play OCs or underdeveloped side characters, but i’m all up for canons too. i’ve played all of the games except DDD which i’m working on now. i’d love something in the bbs era, but honestly anything is great. exploring nobodies successfully turned into ansem-heart-holders, the new keyblade warriors to defeat ansem (this guy gets around), or kh1&2 characters during the bbs time is all great. for canon characters sora, aqua, ventus, marluxia, and larxene are the ones i’ve played the most but i’m always looking to branch out.
fallout [any game] ✩ would love to do OCs for this, and admittedly something in the commonwealth would be rad because i’ve played 4 most recently. brotherhood of steel is always great, anything with them is awesome. also stuff with synths that involves questioning what it means to be human and have faith in your own identity/memories w/e w/e would be cool.
final fantasy [IV, VII, VIII, crisis core, advent children, dissidia] ✩ i have this random love for IV, but honestly i am total VII trash. there’s a remake coming out so i’m going to pretend i’m justified.
harry potter [no cursed child] OCs would be great because who doesn’t love a harry potter AU. i honestly don’t have a huge interest in canon characters for this one, unless it’s set in the future.
once upon a time love the concept, hate the execution. would love something that just uses this plot, or we can do some universe diverging.
marvel cinematic universe the mcu is great but i don’t have a lot of ideas for this one – if you’ve got a plot idea you’re itching to do that doesn’t hinge on excessive knowledge of the comic material, lay it on me.
medium i have a super strong preference for rping over email or google docs, and reserving forms of IM for separate chatting and plotting. i can be flexible if you’re super gung-ho about rping over skype or something, but generally i like to keep my posts in a place where they’re all together and i can easily reference them. i have google hangouts and skype for chatting, and can get aim or msn for the dinosaurs who still use that (jk jk). i’m also open to making a joint tumblr blog that we both post our posts on, which i did not know was a thing until very recently!
contact if you’re interested please shoot me a mail at [email protected]! from there we can talk about chatting else where and stuff.

Hello! It's been a long time but I return! Me: The name’s Micchi, but feel free to call me whatever you wish. I’m in search of some casual roleplay buddies who might be up for some light-hearted, or really heavy roleplays. Basic info for me is I’m 20, and I’m a female more or less searching out other partners, preferably female, but gender really doesn’t matter in the end. I can’t say how much experience I have in RP, as my time RPing has been very patchy. I would average and say I probably have 1-2 years of experience, but I'm still learning and adapting. I'm currently enrolled in college in a full-time baking course, so I'm out most of the day during the week. I try to squeeze out replies despite this, as roleplaying is a great de-stresser for me. I try to average at the least one reply per day, but I can’t always do so since I’ve been fairly busy these days. At the least, I will respond on the weekends at least once a day if I can't get responses out during the week. If I haven’t replied in a week, please shoot me a message to remind me to reply, as I likely have read your message, but forgotten to reply! I will make sure to tell you if I know that I won't be able to reply for a week or more, so please be willing to do the same for me!
Style: I RP in third person, paragraph style. I prefer to RP semi-lit, though I do this more or less as a stress reliever and a hobby, so I’m not too strict on my style or length or anything. I typically average a paragraph in response, and can push myself to write 2-3 if necessary, but even one-liners are no issue to me. My length varies depending on my partner, but I cannot spiel off more than 4 paragraphs per response. I like to plot up ideas together and though I’ve never gotten the chance, world-building does sound cool! I like to use faceclaims for my character, either a real person or an anime drawing, depending on my character (My older ones would likely have an anime drawing as a faceclaim while newer characters would have a real person). I also love to send pictures for references on my characters, and their clothing. It’s much easier for me to imagine their looks and clothing that way. ^.^ And lastly, since it’s been a while since I’ve RPed, I may be lacking in terms of detail and length, but with time and practice, I will improve! The same goes for my characters. They may start out very plain/shy or unrealistic-sounding, but over time, I will flesh them out and make them more and more realistic! So please bear with me. c: Rules: So, starting rule is that I ask for my partners to be 18+, for comfort reasons and because I quite like smut. I prefer to be close in age to my partners, as I feel a better connection, and I’m more comfortable with it. Second rule is that I ask you not to take control of my character without asking me first. I’ve had it happen before, and frankly it’s very annoying, and I’m sure you can understand why. Last, a general rule. Respect. It’s a mutual rule, of course. I’ll respect you as long as you respect me. Preferences: So, I like to talk with my partners OOC, but this isn’t necessary if you wouldn’t like to do so. I’m an awkward and shy person, so I totally understand if you wish to keep talking strictly to plotting and talk about our characters/setting. For pairings, I highly prefer M// and F//, but I will do some M/F, though only if doubling. I would love to try some F//, as I’ve never actually RPed F// before, at least not without being ghosted, so I’d love to get the experience with it. I prefer to play a bottom, but I will switch and I might top. I like to play a range of characters, but most are bottoms or switches. I prefer highly to switch if you dislike playing a specific role, to keep variety in the mix. I prefer to do OC RPs, but I do have a few fandoms that I will play canon characters in. Most fandoms are for the universe. I usually play only one character at a time, but I can double. I like to do two different pairings when doubling (Like M// and F//). Kinks & Limits: I’ll start with my main limits, since it’s mostly the normal stuff. - Mommy/Daddy kink - Mpreg - Abusive relationships (Both physical and emotional) - Furries/Bestiality (Doesn’t include shapeshifters/hybrids) - Pedophilia/Age play (Or in general underage characters) - Incest - Non-con (Unless it’s in a character’s history, then that’s fine) - Feet stuff - Anything unhygienic As for my kinks, I’m still exploring so I’m open to almost anything not on the limit list, but here’s a few of my favourite ones so far: - Cross dressing (Especially for my bottom males) - Rough sex - Lingerie (I love having my characters dress up in lingerie) - Hickeys/biting -Choking Fandoms: So, I have just a few fandoms, but here they are. (The more *s next to the name, the higher my craving for it) - Overwatch ** (I prefer to play OCs since I’m not too well versed with the characters just yet, or we can just use the universe) - Toukiden Kiwami (I’d be pretty happy using the universe) - BTS**** (I love these boys please RP them with me. No OCxCanon with this fandom) Genres: - Romance (I love to have romance in any RP if possible) - Fantasy/Supernatural (My ultimate favourite. I like modern fantasy) - Slice of life (The one I’m best versed in) I am willing to try really any genre except historic ones because I know I can’t do justice to any timeline earlier than the 2000’s.
Plots/Pairings: These are some plots/pairings that I like or want to try. I’m open to any suggestions. (The more *s there are, the more interested I am in it. Bolded role is the role I would prefer) - Youtuber x Youtuber** (OCs only, but maybe two newer YouTubers collaborate and end up closely knit, and start dating) - Detective x Criminal/Thief* - Pirate x Pirate - Pirate x Commoner/Royalty (The commoner/royalty being a captive, though this wouldn’t be a Stockholm syndrome thing, but with a surprisingly merciful pirate who is kind to the captive) - Idol/Celebrity x Idol/Celebrity*** (This could go for BTS, or for OCs. I just like the idea of two celebrities who can’t be together often falling for one another and sneaking off to meet one another when they’re able to. Would probably be related to K-pop/J-pop/J-rock) - Idol/Celebrity x Commoner**** (Someone who happened to run into the idol/celebrity and hadn’t a clue who they were or was a fan and the idol grew attracted to them because they treated them no different than a normal human after learning who they were. I’m currently doing one of these, and I love it. This more or less ties to J-Pop/J-rock or K-pop, but any kind of idol/celebrity can be used) - Vampire x Werewolf* - Vampire x Human - Werewolf x Human (I’m a sucker for the human helping an injured werewolf plot) - Werewolf x Werewolf (Maybe a rogue being taken in by a pack alpha sort of scenario and slowly adapting them to life with a pack again) - Vampire x Vampire* (I like any plot, but I’m weak for an old, powerful vampire taking in a fledgling/newly turned vampire and teaching them how to adjust to their new life) - Demon x Angel - Demon x Human* (A human summons a demon, for any reason, and somehow the demon gets stuck with the human. Maybe the human accidentally summons the demon, and cannot send it back, so now the demon begrudgingly has to deal with this human until they find a way to get him home and they form a bond) - Human x Hybrid*** (Usually tied in with heats/ruts/ABO dynamics) - Hybrid x Hybrid* - Merman x Human** (Based off of Orenchi no Furo Jijo, a mermaid/merman is beached and dying, and a human takes them home and houses them in their tub. Possibly takes them back to the sea later on and makes routine visits to see them) - Good Boy/Girl x Bad Boy/Girl* (Something where the bad girl/boy has a soft spot for the good boy/girl and treats them completely opposite of their image. Maybe they’re childhood friends, and have been separated for years due to one moving away and have been reunited in college) - Supernatural creature x Human* (It could be any supernatural creature) - Supernatural creature x Supernatural Creature* AUs: So, I’m really weak for the hybrid AU, supernatural AU and soulmate AUs. I would be willing to incorporate any into an RP. Contact Information: Congrats if you made it this far, and I’m sorry for rambling. This post ended up wayyyy longer than I meant for it to be. But, if you want to RP, here’s where to contact me! I am most active on LINE and Discord. Discord: Imacow46#9993 LINE: imacow46
