rewatching zeta will fix me

[cloudysunflowr]

Hello! Sorry if this has already been asked, but for the Deity AU: What's the storyline? Like when do certain things (that you are comfortable with sharing) transpire? I'm kinda new, so I'm just trying to find out what I can to catch up to everyone else who has been here. But besides that, I hope you have a wonderfully lovely day/night! :] (Also, I love your art and au's, there so fun!)

Hi hi!

Their story is mainly left untold— Like— I like to draw them for comfort and fun and dont really plan to write it out? Like— as in fully.

I do have a story with an ending tho and its mainly dealing with Wally and my oc Aiden.

Ill put it here since like I said I dont really plan to write it fully. Also their playlist which is where the story goes chronologically! :oD

The playlist

Ok oof-

Here goes—

This is gonna be me REALLY COMPACTING IT AS MUCH AS I CAN

So like… spoilers ig????

Aiden is the son of a chief/king? He wants to grow up and be as revered as his father. His friend of childhood is from a rival place and his name is Dante.

Aiden is trans and his dad doesnt really have faith but thanks to his mom and Frank (who he meets as a kid) he gets trained up and finally accepted in to the army.

Aiden and Dante find out their homes are at war and are like “nooo dont fight haha” and their parents are like “yea? Political marriage” and theyre like “shit”

So they become engaged, Dante has a small crush on Aiden so hes not that mad, Aiden doesnt want it. Their parents still plan to fight but in a backstab way.

Dad needs a right hand man, doesnt choose Aiden, chooses his rival but soon to be best friend (I dont have a name yet for them).

They go to war, Aidens dad tells him “lol go kill Dante while I kill the dad” Aiden gets told by deity same thing. To kill Dante or blood will be shed from his home. Aiden is about to, cant go through with it. Dante doesnt know.

They still win the battle, marriage is obviously called off. Aidens dad gets help from a witch to head home while Aiden meets Barnaby and gets help handling the witch (her name is Willow).

Dad and Frank get into an argument lmao. Frank is like “I pseudo raised your kid” and dad is like “nuh uh” dad does NOT know hes arguing with a deity. Aiden adult at this point.

Aiden meets Wally. Wally meets his parents and they bond a bit before he leaves after I think a week? Month? Dont remember. Aiden is big sad, bro misses him even tho he almost killed him.

Mom proud of the warrior Aiden became.

Another battle at war. Aiden is finally given the chance to lead a team. Blinds Dantes brother who is a tyrant. Frank and Aiden argue about leaving the guy alive.

Aiden meets Cloud god (lmao)

Dantes dad kills Aidens dad. Best friend saves the remaining crew by getting them tf out of there. They also found out Dantes brother was also killed but Aiden doesnt know if that was his fault.

Aiden meets Mathew after going through Eddies sacred lands or spirits and memory. Finds out mom died too. Aiden says fuck it Im going to be brutal with everyone.

Kills Dantes dad.

Taking care of Camila , his lil sis, and meets Wally again. Lovey lovey again.

Frank is like “bro nah thats a god youre a mortal” Aiden is like “you right” and tries to break up with Wally but Wally is like “Wait no, fuck the rules” and Aiden is like “…touché”

Aiden proposes, they marry

Maybe a kid? Debating.

Dante has a kid.

Dante sends assassins, Aiden kills them. Brutal with his opponents. Sacrifices his men. Goes through mutiny. Howdy like “lol death to your crew”. Best friend dies but also finds out that friend is who killed Dantes blinded brother which led to Aidens dads death.

Aiden tries to break off with Wally again because of everything hes been through he doesnt want that for Wally. Wally is like “Calm down—“

Lovey lovey

Dante has a dream of killing Aiden. Gets his crew for a strike.

Kills Aiden. Aiden says goodbye to his sister as shes taken away to safety as his home burns.

Wally grieving when he finds out

Kills Dante

Camila (adult now) comes back and calms Wally down. Befriends him.

Camila dies of old age.

Wally is learning to deal with grief.

Meets Aiden again as reincarnation.

Continues to love him through reincarnation and reincarnation.

Eventually gives up his divinity to live as mortal with Aiden.

Hii I'm here with regards to your winx Dr!

I've got a few questions, please let me know or just exclude ones that make you uncomfortable or ones you'd prefer not to answer! First question is, what's the winx society like? it's a mix of magic and tech so it's obviously different from ours but besides that what about the culture, the politics? Is there late stage capitalism there or is it more socialist/communist ish in the sense of workers rights, people not being exploited, universal basic income etc? and education, that's one I'm curious about. Is it possible to study both streams of magic i.e fairy and witch at the same time? or r they inherently antithetical to each other and will clash? It just seems so fascinating to me. In a similar ish vein regarding education, what jobs can a fairy take on after they've finished their alfea schooling? what happens to those who didnt manage to save anyone because it's not like there's a life threatening situation where you have to sacrifice yourself everyday? are they asked to stay back another year? how would you say the economy works over there? are jobs necessary in the same way that they are here? or are fairies kinda just given free reign to roam the magixverse and pop in whenever there's trouble along with the specialists and witches? are there research institutions specifically designed to further their knowledge of magic? it feels like the entire political structure and system is different in the winx universe and I absolutely loved that as a kid. oh yea did it take long for you to adjust having wings? do they kinda just pop out when you need to fly? like what's the sensation like? do you mind describing ig the texture? and if they're really as brightly coloured as what we see in the cartoon? im still having trouble imagining wings that can carry an entire person like woah that's incredible now that I think about it! also how exactly do people travel from planet to planet? does everyone have magic inside of them or only a select number? are there spaceships? can you breathe or fight in the vacuum that is space? or does it not work that way in you Dr? it's all so fascinating. do you get a salary? or is there no need for one??

Hi! How fun! Disclaimer that all of my answers are my experiences in my DRs. All DRs are different, so don't worry if there's anything here you don't want to experience!

what's the winx society like? it's a mix of magic and tech so it's obviously different from ours but besides that what about the culture, the politics? Is there late stage capitalism there or is it more socialist/communist ish in the sense of workers rights, people not being exploited, universal basic income etc?

In both of my Winx DRs, there are multiple planets and systems that have various cultures and societies. What society is like really depends on where you are! Lynphea works on a full trade/barter system; only a couple of major cities use money and only for tourists. Eraklyon has an absolute monarchy with figureheads for smaller cities (like Diaspro's family - the Quidoves). Magix has a direct democracy and is on the brink of socialism.

There's a council of representatives from different planets, however, not every planet is included. It can be a very lengthy process as all powers and the majority of people have to want to be on it (there's a voting process that the council holds separate from whoever's in charge), they have to agree to the council's main rules of morals of society (free healthcare and education, rights for all, etc), and the planet has to elect a representative.

I'd say education is best on Lynphea, Magix, and Solaria! Lynphea has some of the best magic programs in the universe, Magix is such a cultural hub that there's very little bias in the teaching, and Solaria is generally really good at balancing between things like science and healthcare vs arts and history. All studies are considered important and worthwhile there! (Fun fact: Helia attended an art school in Solaria in my DRs)! Zenith's education is good, but it's extremely selective and intense. Their primary education is so good that only people who really, really want it (or need it for their career) further their education, which means smaller programs and fewer spots for students. They're working on it hahah

Is it possible to study both streams of magic i.e fairy and witch at the same time? or r they inherently antithetical to each other and will clash? It just seems so fascinating to me.

Well technically, you can study the magic of other streams, but it's not really possible to practice them. Streams, for the most part, work on completely different wavelengths. For example, in order for a Believix fairy to be a Believix fairy, they need to continuously inspire the people around them. If that fairy were to start trying to use a more witchy input (ie feelings of self-will/self-preservation or intense, negative emotions), their output could backfire badly.

Picking a magic stream is a really important decision! This is actually a big reason why so many magic users don't do it. Picking a stream has a lot of pros (more focused magic, community that can make you stronger, certain career choices, etc), but it also has some cons like magical input being extremely particular.

In a similar ish vein regarding education, what jobs can a fairy take on after they've finished their alfea schooling? what happens to those who didnt manage to save anyone because it's not like there's a life threatening situation where you have to sacrifice yourself everyday? are they asked to stay back another year?

Fairies can pick any average day job they want (like accounting)! But you probably mean magic-specific jobs hahah Well, obviously guardian fairies! The Winx were appointed those positions but most fairies would apply for it. They could apply to guard specific areas like a home town or they could even go to the council and be sent on missions where a fairy is needed.

If someone has picked the fairy stream and goes to Alfea, like 9 out of 10 times they're trying to become a guardian fairy. As for other paths, some fairies get into general politics, others the government (a lot of royals at Alfea), and some will just be traveling fairies. Some fairies even set up their own shops for spells and helping people!

So Alfea fairies actually don't graduate until they reach their Enchantix level! Students are given a two-year period after Alfea's third year to complete this and are allowed to live on campus and continue learning during this time. Once the school feels a student is ready, they'll be sent out on missions either by themselves, with other fairies, or with specialists to help in crisis situations on their home planet. It's extremely rare for an Alfea fairy to not reach Enchantix during this time!

how would you say the economy works over there? are jobs necessary in the same way that they are here? or are fairies kinda just given free reign to roam the magixverse and pop in whenever there's trouble along with the specialists and witches?

For jobs, it depends on where you are again! On some planets, they are necessary, and on others, they aren't.

As for fairies, if they want to just roam and help whoever needs help, they'll need to get registered with their governments and the council if their planet is on it.

are there research institutions specifically designed to further their knowledge of magic?

Absolutely! The magic research programs and institutions on Lynphea are actually to dieee for hahah Domino also had a good one for templars but it faded away after the war :(

yea did it take long for you to adjust having wings? do they kinda just pop out when you need to fly? like what's the sensation like? do you mind describing ig the texture? and if they're really as brightly coloured as what we see in the cartoon?

It did take me a while to adjust to having wings and flying! I had never experienced that before, so it was quite weird at first. They do just pop out hahah They won't pop out randomly though, you still need the intention to do it. The sensation of them "coming out" or transforming mostly felt warm to me. It feels like a surge of warm energy/light coursing through your back (and sometimes your whole body). The texture of wings is very silky but kind of like... staticky too... like you get tingles when you touch them hahah The color really depends on the fairy! A lot of fairies do have bright-colored wings, but there are also plenty with darker or muted colors. The colors correspond to the fairy's personality!

also how exactly do people travel from planet to planet?

Spaceships or teleportation. Do you remember the teleportation postcard that Stella showed Bloom in the first season? Those are extremely common!

does everyone have magic inside of them or only a select number?

Not everyone has magic inside of them; some people have some but not enough to use it. It just depends on genetics! People without innate magic can still become magic users though! They just have to harness the magic around them instead of inside them. It's generally a lot harder though :(

are there spaceships?

Yes :) Commercial, private-owned, and military!

can you breathe or fight in the vacuum that is space? or does it not work that way in you Dr?

In my Winx DR, we could fight! We couldn't breathe unless we had Cosmix. In my Specialists DR, we couldn't do either hahah

it's all so fascinating.

I agree :) I love fantasy DRs so much!

do you get a salary? or is there no need for one??

It depends on the planet again! Some planets pay people for work with tangible money/coins/gems, while others pay with lodging/food. On some planets, a job is more of a partnership and you get paid back with experiences, more information on the field, etc.

This was fun! Thank you for all the questions :) I love talking about my Winx DRs hahah

Returning to musing on the Politeia, my Odyssey fanfic Odyssey retelling idea for a story of Polites’s perspective of the events of the Odyssey and his own various adventures while Odysseus is stuck on Ogygia. His loyalty to Odysseus + his resentment at Eurylochus for the whole leaving-him-to-be-a-pig-at-Circe’s thing means he was the only one advocating (tho unsuccessfully) against eating the sacred cattle of Helios, and the only one of the men who refused, and so when Zeus smited Odysseus’s ship he went “okay you can survive ig, you were correct and pious” and sends Polites adrift to an inhabited island. Not a witch’s or goddess’s island just a regular island with regular people. Polites, ashamed to return to Ithaca the only survivor and have to explain to Penelope what happened, decides he can just… live here. Whatever. Exile as punishment for failure isn’t unreasonable, or so bad. The people are nice and he is the son of an attached palace craftsman so he has skills and can integrate.

Until Athena shows up to him and tells him that 1) Odysseus is alive and trapped in a island with Josh Hutcherson Calypso, 2) Helios is still big mad about the cattle and will not authorize Odysseus’s release until his sacred cattle have been replenished 3) the only cattle sacred enough to replenish Helios’s herd are the descendants of that one white bull Poseidon sent to Crete three generations ago. Against the wishes of Poseidon but lucky for Odysseus now, Minos used that bull as a stud instead of sacrificing it, and in addition to the Minotaur it also had normal cow babies and its descendants are still in the Cretan herds. Helios wants all of the Cretan bull’s descendants rounded up and brought to his sacred cow island, and then will be pacified enough to accept Odysseus escaping Ogygia. And hell it might even mollify Poseidon too.

Athena is asking Polites to be the one to make this happen.

The conversation goes something like this:

Polites: I don’t know what I can do, O goddess, but I swear I will do all I can. Why did you choose me for this task? Though my love and my devotion for my king Odysseus is great, I have no influence in Crete, and as bitter experience has shown, I have little skill in persuasion. 

Athena: yeah honestly you were not my first choice. You were like, my eighth choice. Diomedes was my first choice, but he was usurped in Argos and forced to flee and is in prison in Libya now, so I have to go deal with that also after this. This task then should rightly go to Telemachus, but he’s 13 and also kind of a brat. He needs to grow up some before he’s useful to anyone. Penelope could almost certainly succeed but if she left Ithaca then the kingdom would definitely be usurped immediately and she knows it. Of the people left who might even slightly care about what happens to Odysseus, Agamemnon is dead, Menelaus is useless, Nestor isn’t going anywhere, and Neoptolemus is a bloodthirsty maniac. So really that leaves you.

Polites: uh.

Polites: Agamemnon is dead?

Athena: you see what I’m working with here.

I think it would be fun to try to write this adventure story where the protagonist is not a king or a prince, not a princess or a witch, not a demigod or the subject of any prophecy, he’s just some guy, the son of the palace perfumer who was called to war because his king made an oath to some other guy and now it’s everybody’s problem.

Just saw some youtubers, who were discussing the upcoming Wicked movie, say that the last time the world of Oz was seen on the theatre screens was in the '70's, with The Wiz & that film practical and digital effects have come so far. And it's true (plus, bts clips have shown just how much of the sets are NOT CGI. They practically built a theme park for these films!!) It's gonna look amazing. But then I was like....wait....the world of Oz was also shown on silver screens in 2013 tho??? It did look cool, ig, but it was mostly CGI. It makes sense why Oz the the Great & Powerful is easily forgotton tho. The story was very meh and the witches, as usually the most compelling characters in any Oz adaption, were done dirty. As someone who had recently seen Wicked in Toronto, it was that 2013 Oz story was let down lol. I'm so looking forward to the films fleshing out the character relationships & doing the political plot from the novel justice in a way the stage musical doesn't have time to do!

The Black Sisters Fic - Complete

(Andromeda x Ted, Narcissa x Lucius, Bellatrix x Voldemort)

Canonish compliant fic set around the rise of Voldemort. Enemies to Lovers, Fish out of Water Slow Burn, Villain Origin Story, with lots of Slytherin politics, cliffhangers and witchcraft lore

Complete, 150k words, find it on A03

Cover art by @guine_evere on IG

‘Beware all ye who enter’ read the dusty old sign hanging over the doorway of the ratty old tent. The Black Sisters stood before it, contemplating the cavernous lair of the Seer Narcissa insisted on seeing.

The sign should have made them pause, but then again, the sisters were hardly likely to be threatened by idle threats meant to scare the masses. No one would accuse Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa of being ordinary. The Black sisters rose above it all.

‘Come on, Bella,’ Narcissa implored, pulling her eldest sister through the entrance and into the blackness beyond, ignoring her sighs and eyes rolling in exasperation.

Bella had no patience with Divination or Narcissa’s girlish obsession with it. All she saw in her teacups were so-called Grims.

‘They say she only comes out during Solstice once every five years; we cannot miss her,’ Narcissa insisted, determined that her sisters listen to her for once and take their futures seriously. How were they to make a dent in the world if they were not prepared for what was coming?

Andromeda fell behind, as she so often did, uninterested in her sister's plans, plots, and schemes, getting lost in the much richer world playing out in her head.

She bathed her senses in the dark atmosphere of the Seer’s lair. The tent held an intoxicating musky sandalwood smell, the rich velvet drapes brushing against her fingertips as she gazed at the twinkling sprites dancing brightly in their midst. It felt unreal. As much as she was used to the eccentricities of the Wizarding World, this place was more dreamlike than anywhere she’d ever visited.

Only the sharp eyes of the famed Seer could pull Andromeda out of her trance. The Witch they’d heard so much about from Narcissa held court in the centre of this otherworld. She sat in stillness before a fire, deep hooded eyes trained on the sisters. They could barely breathe at the intensity of her gaze.

Andromeda and Narcissa felt ill at unease. The sisters were no strangers to ancient magic, but this place felt drenched in an unknown power.

Bella remained unmoved; it took much more than some parlour tricks to make her believe in such nonsense. The eldest of the Black sisters huffed as she reluctantly took a seat, waving her hand to encourage her sisters to follow.

The Seer merely raised a brow and handed Bella a gleaming silver dagger. She wasted no time grasping it, a look of disdain etched on her strikingly beautiful face.

All the Black Sisters were well-versed in blood magic, and the ritual did not need to be spelt out. Bella quickly sliced open her palm and let her blood drip into the flame, then grabbed her sister's hands to do the same, all in an impatient flurry. Andromeda complied quickly, watching the thick, crimson blood fall from her hands in fascination. At the same time, Narcissa grimaced, wincing delicately, and snatching her hand back, swishing her wand to stem the flow of blood as soon as she could and checking her dress carefully for any spots of blood that might have fallen onto it.

They watched carefully as the Seer cast her wand over the flickering flames, guiding them in their path. She then cast her intense gaze into the depths of the fire and searched furiously for the answers she sought.

Finally, the Seer took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming and a small, wry smile etched on her face.

‘The last of the House of Black,’ the Seer whispered as she watched the dancing flames, unknown futures springing to life in its depths. It was both a promise and a threat.

‘Our line is strong,’ Bella scoffed, clearly unimpressed with the theatrics and ominous prediction.

‘None will survive you,’ the Seer smiled. ‘The only question is, will you endure?’

‘What is our fate?’ Narcissa whispered gently, enraptured by the low baritone voice of the Witch in front of them.

The Seer contemplated them one by one. Her words were a low, deep hum, powerfully vibrating as they spilled from her mouth.

‘Love,’ she said, pointing her long finger to Andromeda;

‘Influence,’ pointing to Narcissa;

‘Power,’ pointing to Bellatrix.

‘Do not be fooled when you are banished, imprisoned, and crowned. There is more to come; you must look to these forces to see it. They will drive you, they will shape you, and if you are not careful, they will devour you.’

The Prophecy hung in the air for a spellbinding moment. Then, slowly, the Seer's words turned into smoke, curling around and dancing lightly in the air before they descended, compelled towards the orb below them, swallowing the smoke in one gulp. Another promise captured for the Hall of Prophecies.

Bellatrix jumped to her feet in outrage. ‘There is no one who can devour us,’ she hissed, furious at the implication.

She jumped from her seat, grabbed her sister's hands, and pulled them quickly out of the oppressive tent into the fresh air outside.

The Seer cackled loudly.

In her long years of prophesying, she had found few could accept their fate. It didn’t matter. The Black Sisters would find it came to them just the same.

OOC | Malconaire Hiding & AUs

CASSIMIR'S HEIR(S)

ok so @forgotteneithne raised some interesting points abt 1) who @forgottenroderick would replace @forgottencassimir w as lord of malconaire, should cassimir perish w/o a son/heir or whatever, (and since lizzy mentioned that the malconaires have no cousins on their father's side) that means that even tho there are several v healthy daughters running around (even if they had never been declared witches etc!) in roderick's eyes the line of malconaire is extinguished, so this would probs ultimately end up w roderick awarding malconaire to one of the following: @forgottenalaric @forgottensebastian bartholomew, or eoin, or (less likely given its strategic signifiance: he'd wanna keep it in the family) even to alistair. there's also a scenario where @forgottenedmund might be considered, even tho he's already got a nearby holding, but alaric or sebastian are the most likely candidates for this job (editing!kate: or ~are they ooooh ;D)

alaric is the person roderick trusts the most out of anyone (and sebastian is, in roderick's mind, as yet untested) but he ~knows alaric could hold malconaire in event of revolt, plus unlike edmund and arthur (as far as i know?), alaric doesn't yet have an astairan holding (actually ig the riverbend isn't ~technically astairan but its right there/was prev held by a naturalized astairan sooo?). HOWEVER, i can def see where roderick may have already gifted alaric the fens for these exact reasons! and he doesn't want to divide alaric's attentions/resources too much and thus leave him split and thus less effective etc etc

w sebastian, he ~is 'untested,' but he's also roderick's only son w/o an astairan holding (w the edmund caveat yknow idk). and he ~does trust sebastian, as much as he trusts anyone, really, so if alaric has the fens, then sebastian probs gets malconaire unless marian or arthur (or even sebastian himself! -- cassandra's 'failings' really reflect only on herself and her mother bc #woman unless it was smth huuuuuge like running off and marrying an astairan servant ;D jk jk but yknow) has ticked off roderick in some way right when this is going down -- this btw is an issue w ~all his sons re: this bc those family/inheritance politics ALWAYS at play in the bg lakdsjfkljsdf (daughters are not military leaders in roderick's brain so they're not considered at all for the position, even guin). in which case, bart or eoin are the candidates to get it

i actually think its possible that roderick might feel that bart has a lot on his plate, plus im guessing he's more ~administrative than ~warlike from his bio??? so roderick might just go straight to eoin?? it's also possible he makes bart lord w eoin as his 'castellan/stewart' or whatever so like...its in bart's name but everyone knows its really eoin's etc! (and/or one of those like ~styled situations where its one of ur dad's holdings but he's got so many you're as his heir sorta entitled to the use of one and called its lord etc etc etc) however, they're BOTH getting nixed if arthur's true paternity has come out, and that's the situation where we get alistair!

however, even here roderick is tailspinning re: who he can trust so its also possible in this scenario he reverts ~back to alaric and thus splits alaric's attentions or else has gone so far down the path of paranoia that he trusts ~no one and tries to hold it himself even tho obv he himself is pr busy w other stuff!

edmund also becomes a candidate in this scenario, w the malconaire and riverbend lands being formally merged under him, which isn't as i think of it really ~splitting his resources since they are, in fact, neighbors etc even tho there is the river there but still, that's any easy route for moving stuff so it still stands, and edmund doesn't ~technically have an astairan holding so yeah!

ACTUALLY ACTUALLY!! as im thinking abt this more, unless amira/godfrey/tristan/edmund has recently ticked off roderick, if this ever goes down, the more i think abt this, the more i think edmund might actually be ~the most likely candidate, even from the start. he's got the riverbend. he's already conquered malconaire so he has PROVEN he can hold it and it specifically/he's obv aware of its weaknesses etc, he doesn't ~actually have an astairan title yet, he's one of the three heirs, his uncle is his neighbor so he's got a seaborn alliance ~right there~ which would probs come to his aid if needed w/o him even having to ask, and he even seems to have good relations ~w malconaire

now, if this is after the witch thing, and so roderick is like 'edmund was LITERALLY bewitched by a malconaire witch,' then we're back to alaric or eoin being most likely (sebastian having ~also been thus bewitched and thus ~also out) but yeah!! needless to say, @forgottenamira and godfrey would def be pushing for this, ofc, but im guessing? @forgottenmarian and her faction would be ~against it? pushing for sebastian, perhaps?

so yeah the more i think abt it, actually, edmund, then alaric, then sebastian, then bart/eoin, then alistair, and finally roderick himself, are the most likely heirs to malconaire!

@forgottenrian would DEFFFFF try to put in a bid immediately when he hears cassimir's outta commission but he'd be rejected and yeah!

either way tho...if its a currently played character its def lizzy im realizing BAHAHAHA ;DDD roderick: the only person i trust for this job is actually just lizzy <3

so yeah! in any event, IF the witch thing hasn't happened, roderick would probs marry one of the malconaires to whomever he's giving malconaire to help quell any resentment of the ppl, preferably eithne but if she's married then brigit and so forth in order of age, w sonya being last since she's only an ~adopted of the prev lord and therefore doesn't carry his ~blood and we all know how thing roderick is abt bloodlines smdh

if the witch thing ~has happened, this person is still def getting an astairan bride (w the ~possible exception of edmund or sebastian since roderick is really weird abt his own blood mingling places via his kids etc laksdjfkljsdf), w preference probs going to a lorcan???? but really they can choose atp as long as she's of noble astairan birth or else SO rich/powerful/well armed that a marriage to her would help make malconaire impregnable in case of revolt etc aljsdflksjfkj

MALCONAIRES IN HIDING

and the other thing kate brought up is how godfrey will handle hiding the malconaires! ngl if he were a real person, i deffff think this would actually involve stowing them each at separate ends of the earth, esp since he's got sea power -- BUT, since this an rp and it all takes place in astaira, in separate ends of astaira BAHAHAHA and i'll justify that by saying that he doesn't know when he'll have to call them in or whatever so he wants them each close at hand, but he also wants to ensure that if one gets grabbed, the others are still out there etc, so they also don't know where the others are etc! he ~might split them two by two tho??

BUT ANYWAY!! i do think he'd probs work w the resistance network to get at least some of them out! he's gonna wanna make sure tho that only ~he knows the whereabout of at least one of them, tho, so that no matter if the others get given up he def still has one malconaire in the hand! i def feel like the fens are a pr good hiding place, lorcan another, probs kil-kennar another and so forth!

now, how does he divvy them up! godfrey def sees them each as having their own individual value and ill spell that out:

@forgotteneithne = key to malconaire! she's its lady and the ppl will rise for her/in her name! and we know our boy is jonesing for a rebellion as soon as the time is right!

@forgottenbrigit = key to the guardians! actual witch! she's the best one to help him uncover that sword and unbind the final key(s)! she's his best conduit for communicating w the guardians too and perhaps, thus, to foiling them bc if brigit trusts him and the guardians trust her, well, doesn't that just make betraying them all the easier??

@forgottenaoife = key to ronan/the resistance! i mean, @forgottenronan loves ~all the malconaires no question...but i think we all know that aoife has a v special place in his heart and, reckless as he's growing, well, that'll be easier and easier to exploit! now, he might learn too that aoife has the mind that's most like his own -- w the huge caveat that she's CLEARLY a mUCH better person lakjdsflkjsd but anyway!! lakjdfklsjdf she's watchful and creative and sees the weaknesses of others as well as her own strengths w a clear eye, etc, all of which might lead him to think she maybe could ~also play into the eithne plot esp if? she's open abt the will? godfrey would be her best route no lie to getting that thing published and prolifierated EVERYWHERE to further enrage the populace too btw!

@forgottenroisin = key to edmund's astairan affections! not just to the lad, himself, but specifically to endearing him to the astairans! ive already talked abt how godfrey wants to play up their love and then kill rosie (tho it was supposedly roderick/guin/arthur or whatever!) laksdjfkljdsf rosie: 'hey!' and thus sort of twist this tragic lost love situation into, like, edmund's fighting for you!!!! for astaira!!! for his love of house malconaire whom you ~also love and has been so maligned blah blah blah against the tyrannical emperor his own father!!1 but he chose YOU!!! etc and then get him hitched to @forgotteneilionora etc

so yeah!! as such they each have v different but v important roles in his schemes so yeah!! lakjsdfkljdskf as a result of all this, aoife and rosie are the two least likely to use the resistance network since he's specifically blackmailing ronan w aoife's wellbeing and he legit hopes to someday murder rosie and the resistance might not be too keen on that soooo lakjdsflkjdsjfjdf but eithne he'd actively love to see interacting ~w the resistance etc to help foment rebellion!!!! so she's almost certain to be hidden re: their resources, smth that'll also probs help build trust of godfrey within the resistance etc! so yeah! i don't have specific notions really beyond that atm but those're my thoughts on all of that!!

[bolithesenate]

Boli I saw your wip game post and my god that's a lot of wips lol, I'm mostly curios about this ones:

anti anarchist royalists

no witches

the heart of a star is home

cache lineage

true sith padme (tale the l palpy)

fuck it all

come ooooon, tell me what your brewing!

*cracks knuckles* Okay, here we go

anti anarchist royalists - this one is a original fiction writing exercise for the fantasy writing course I am in. I got the prompt "a young and inexperienced king tries to stop his kingdom from falling into anarchy" and the main purpose of the exercise is to figure out how to describe characters

this is everything I have so far and I'm not sure if I'll add some more bc I'm actually quite happy with it even though I am miles away from the recommended word count lol

Augustin folded his hand in front of his face and observed the chaos that lay before him. Noblemen screaming their lungs out left, right and center, none really getting the point across they would liked to have made. Maybe that wasn’t the worst thing though, he thought. He’d seen what their ‘points’ had done to his mother’s reign – as well to the short time his dear sister had claimed the crown that was slowly and steadily making its way down the back of his head. It was technically his sister’s crown and thus made for a woman two heads taller than him and with the thick hair befitting her heritage and station. They hadn’t had time to fashion one for him properly, the people who’d led him to his crowning had said – but Augustin knew that was not true. His sister’s guard, those that had stayed, hadn’t even bothered to hide their whispers.  Everyone expected him to last a week at the utmost on this damn throne. His nanny-turned-head-maid had even told him so straight to the face, just this morning. She’d been braiding his hair in an attempt at providing some support for the crown and tried to talk him into slipping some sharp hairpins in. You know, just in case a would-be-assassin came into stabbing distance. Which was unlikely, from everything Augustin knew of their ilk. Assassins tended to stay in the shadows and way out of reach of their intended marks. Those that didn’t, didn’t stay assassins for long. At least that’s what he had gathered from the fact that the head of the palace guard and the spymaster were still looking for the man – or woman – that had taken his sister’s life. Only barely suppressing a sigh, he reached up, pulled the crown back into position and winced. The ominous mass of gems and gold immediately had jabbed one of the sharp pins into his scalp. Great. Heavy crown, heavy mantle, heavy heart – Augustin was just fourteen, palace-pale and definitely not made to be king. Least of all king of a nation that was so dedicated to tearing itself apart as Vesna.

no witches - this one is a future part of the mud fic universe, centered around Sheev's (mis)adventures on Dathomir and the weird situationship he strikes up with Talzin during it.

It's also the fic I have started coming up with the dathomiri conlang for, so there's that

(Ig this makes little sense if you haven't read the mud fic, but the tldr is that Sheev was kidnadopted away from his og family by Jaster and so is about 50% more stable in his life choices down the road)

Well after the sun had gone back down again, the little witchling returned. Only this time, she carried a thick, leather-bound (Sheev hoped it was leather) honest-to-the-Stars book with her. By the Manda, Jaster should never be allowed to know of this, lest Silas reconsidered his stance on expansive politics. Conquering worlds over rare books was not something that had been done before in Manda'yaim's history, but if his buir had shown anything so far then it was his neverending willingness to pave new ways. Her yellow eyes flitted towards him, then to the book and she let the thing plop down on the dirty floor. The wince that went through Sheev at that sight was entirely the fault of the rigorous conditioning Jaster had put him through in regards to proper handling of precious artifacts. Nothing more. He didn't care for old books, after all. The witchling's grubby little hands pawed over the pages of the thing, flipping back and forth until she seemed to have found what she was looking for. Hopefully not some sort of crazy witchcraft magic spell. That green fire everywhere was really starting to give Sheev eye strain. If he got myopic during his stay here they were going to pay for his contact lenses, that Sheev swore to himself. Then his attention was drawn back to the witch-child, who started sounding out words. "Ssah-," she tried, but broke off with a frown. "Ssuh," her face did weird things as she sounded out the words - at least Sheev assumed that's what those were trying to be, "Zuh-ee…kar?" Yellow eyes wandered up at Sheev, seeming almost hopeful? Which was weird. Sheev scowled. For good measure.

the heart of the star is home - now this i am excited to talk abut, because it's my ghiblification origin story for Feemor! We all know and love him as the one normal guy in the disaster lineage, but I say what if that is all very hard work on his side!

His father might be a farmer (and proud o that) but his mother is the spirit of the desert their family cultivates XD

It also gives me the opportunity to smol Feemor, which is a joy in and of itself

He moved through the field of glowing lights, Feemor in his arms. With every step Audunn took, the glowing, hovering points closest to them shifted, parting and making way. Then, the man raised his voice and a smile was plastered on his face, the burnt skin around his eyes and cheeks crinkling in delight. “Najm,” he called out, “Look who has returned!” And while Feemor’s mind was preoccupied with following the implications of those words, the lights all around started to move. As if someone had dropped a loadstone in a bucket of magnets, all the individual points of light coalesced into a rising, writhing flame in the sand before them.  Audunn’s milky eyes reflected the multicolored fire like mirrors, shadows deepening the laugh lines around his mouth and the mottled skin above. It would have been scary if Feemor hadn’t felt the genuine love and joy radiating off the man. Yet he couldn’t look directly at the flame. He tried to and the Force screamed in warning – and with the Force rang a second, lower warning, like a woman whistling in the night.

now for cache lineage - this one is all about Jocasta and her padawans! Listen, the moment I learned she had three whole students in (eu) canon, I knew I HAD to do something with it. The thing that popped out eventually was the start of my first ever chatfic, so....

('cache lineage' is the name I have given their lineage because I think it fits nicely) (Ole Bole is Olee Starstone, Mr.Galaxywide is Jerec and Grandstand is Jocasta Nu. Jin-Lo is self-explanatory)

Box Office Hit Ole Bole: who tf changed the chat name? Ole Bole: rude Mr. Galaxywide: guess Mr. Galaxywide: also, Master whi is this traitor still in the chat? exile her now Ole Bole: TRAITOR?! Ole Bole: I’ll show you traitor you ******* ******* *** *********** Ole Bole: wtf what’s that Ole Bole: what is happening Mr. Galaxywide: guess you got censured, Ol. ***** ** **** Mr. Galaxywide: D:?! Mr. Galaxywide: really? suck is censured?! Mr. Galaxywide: OH NOW IT WORKS?!?!! Mr. Galaxywide: ***!?!?! Mr. Galaxywide: ******* ********* ***?? Ole Bole: @ Grandstand what is going on??? Ole Bole: @ Grandstand Ole Bole: @ Grandstand Ole Bole: @ Grandstand Mr. Galaxywide: @ Grandstand Mr. Galaxywide: @ Grandstand Mr. Galaxywide: @ Grandstand Mr. Galaxywide: @ Grandstand Mr. Galaxywide: @ Grandstand Grandstand: Preemptive safety measures. Grandstand: Children, behave. @ Grandstand has added @83365299 to the Chat @ Grandstand changed @83365299 to @ Padawan Learner Rayce Padawan Learner Rayce: Thank you, Master Nu Padawan Learner Rayce: :D Ole Bole: A BABY?!?!?! Padawan Learner Rayce: Hi, I’m Jin-Lo Rayce, happy to be here. Padawan Learner Rayce: I’m not a baby, I’m 12? Mr. Galaxywide: A BABY!!!!!!

true sith padme - that one was my very impulsive 'a sith is just nine handmaidens and a queen in the same trenchcoat' fic where Padme and company get to be the unhinged teens they were meant to be. They also cause enormous psychological damage to Palpatine because in true naboo fashion they all chose very similar sith names and also switch places willy-nilly to cause more confusion

This actually had one chapter already published, but I've been very lazy with working on the next one. nonetheless, here, have a snippet of a later thing

<Pretender, you do not know what Forces you play with. My wrath will- > "I'm sorry," Eirtaé interrupted the cloaked figure, "I think you have the wrong comm number. Who are you?" <What?!,> the cloaked stranger spat, <I am DARTH SIDIOUS, and you, 'Darth' Akako, are a pretender to the Line of Bane and I–" "Ah, yes, I see now," Eirtaé interrupted him once again, "No, I am not Darth Akako, I am Darth Shirogo. Darth Akako is my cousin thrice removed." Then, after a very brief moment of consideration, she added, "She is known for her rogue actions, if you have an official complaint, please direct it to the High Council. I will transmit their contact right now." She sent the guy Dormé's private comm. The older Handmaiden would know how to stall for time better than her. <You–!> "Thank you for your time and have a good day, good bye!," she cheered and then cut the line, the fake smile that had split her face immediately falling. Grumbling, Eirtaé rubbed her cheeks. Just what the kark were Padmé and Sabé doing out there? And who the fuck had given this old creep her comm number?!

and last but not least

fuck it all - the one and only crossover i'll likely ever write. That's my witcher/lotr crossover where Thranduil and some guard ocs get transported into the witcherverse and proceed to adopt their way through the ranks of protagonists

Another already published thing i should fix up a new chapter for at some point, but after the latest weirdnesses with how the witcher series was treated by netflix it kinda lost its shine. i'll return to it one day though.

Until then, have this. I like to think I am hilarious.

Thranduil looked at the young edain with the rather garish red doublet (the scale-like detailing of the fabric woke unpleasant memories and seemed a bit distasteful). The man was currently drinking what must be the fourth or fifth tankard of beer since Thranduil had entered the dimly lit establishment and he was still holding up pretty well. This, coupled with the fine lute leaning on the side of his chair sealed the deal. ‘He certainly looks like a sensible young man’, the Elvenking thought. “Young man.” There was a benevolent smile on his face as Thranduil tapped the edain’s shoulder to gain his attention. The man reared back, startled, and stared at him with big brown eyes that were red and swollen, as if he had cried not long ago. ‘Oh dear’, Thought the Elvenking now, but it was too late. His smile took a tad of a strained note. Hopefully it wasn’t recognizable. “Young man, I may have a business opportunity for you.”

[chickennuggetofchaos]

i should probably be asleep rn but i literally CANNOT sleep so might as well ramble on the tumblor tumbling website

keep reading if you want to read my ramble ig

the underworld

the one motif at the begining the dododododoodoodoo

"WHYYY WOULD YOU LET THE CYCLOPS LIIIVE WHEN RUTHLESSNESS IS MEERCYYYYYYYYYY"

i love how they reused the line from the cut song its SJOHSuihjfhsdofdos

oH MY GOD POLITES JUMSCARE???? I PREDICTED HE WAS GONNA BE IN THE UNDERWORLD SAGA BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT

i wasn't expecting to hear odysseus' mom as well!! (apparently she's played by jays mom??? which is like AHUISGUIHOHSUS)

how odysseus' voice softened when he heard polites and his mom AUAGHAUJHJHJAH

"Bye, Mom" SOBBING SCREAMING CRYING AUHUIJHJAHJdhui I WILL NEVER EMOTIONALLY RECOVER

no longer you

mason is the perfect voice for tiresias

"But that's not a world I know" "What."

tiresias prophesizing!!! AUGHSHSGYGSJH tHE LYRICS ARE SO GOOD When the witch turns men to pigs to protect her nymphs Is she going insane? Or did she learn to be colder when she got older and now she saves them the pain? When a god comes down and makes a fleet drown Is he scared that he's doing something wrong? Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him And now no one dares to piss him off? Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping Trojans cause he is vile? Or does he throw away his remorse and save more lives with guile

i love the piano at "I see your palace covered in red"

"I see your wife with a man who is haunting, a man with a trail of bodies" "WHO!?"

OAOUGHHH MY GOD THE WAY ODYSSEUS SCREAMS "WHO"

tiresias singing the prophecy again but more i n t e n s e

AUAGSHJHSHJSDGUSJDHLSHSDHSOHSAJSAHISLADJSLADJ

monster

odysseus talking about to polyphemus, circe, and poseiden being ruthless and comparing it to himself

Is the cyclops struck with guilt when he kills? Is he up in the middle of the night? Or does he end my men to avenge his friend And then sleep knowing he has done him right? When the witch turns men to pigs to protect her nymphs Is she going insane? Or did she learn to be colder when she got older and now she saves them the pain? When a god comes down and makes a fleet drown Is he scared that he's doing something wrong? Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him And now no one dares to piss him off? Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping Trojans cause he is vile? Or does he throw away his remorse and save more lives with guile

"OOHHHH RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OUURSELVES"

"And if I gotta drop another infant from a wall in an instant so we all don't die" AUAGSHUJISOJ the way he doesn't hesitate saying that. He'll do ANYTHING to get home at this point

THE ENTIRE SONG IS SO GOOD ALL THE SONGS ARE SO GAIJHLSJLSJLSJBVYSBDONYu

guys i MIGHT spontaneously combust AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[novaauster]

HELLOOOO LETS KILL OURSELVES OVER HERINES HARASAEON. evil of you to do this when im hungover i already almost teared up literally just seeing kiva have her own character tag. like those are my babies from my silly little head and people are creating beautiful things for them!!!! insanity. let's go:

"I just needed a plot device in order to make that boy talk about his feelings bc he only does it if he's homicidal or inebriated" another horrible day fighting the hella-rin allegations

"She never touches his skin, only his scalp, only when doing his hair." fuck the hangover i need a DRINKKK

ama. my best worldbuilding addition by far but also my mortal enemy

"Rin wants to venture into the realm of the gods, find which one is responsible for time, and hold a knife to its throat. He’d force it to turn back the hourglass and eat his words. He’d get on his knees before it and tell it that time itself, and every word spoken, and every word unspoken, must bend to the queen." this whole thing is quite literally some of my favourite writing of all time this is insane this is tattooed onto every inch of my skin i preach this from street corners i spray paint it on buses i-

THE WITCH HAS SHORT HAIR? INTERESTING

they're all so formal lmaoooo. down with monarchy but my harasaeons are okay ig

DRAKO AND AKILA MENTIONED IN A FIC INCIDENT 2 DEAD ONE STILL WRITING LETTERS

"He was born as an apology and he lives the life of a paragon. He likes to be responsible." nova your days are numbered. when i catch you

YOU EQUATED KIVA'S INFLUENCE ON THE PROCEDURE TO SUNLIGHT WHAT IF I KILLED MYSELF. AND ALL THE LANGUAGE REGARDING SHADOW/DARKNESS WITH RIN. MY LAST STRAW

"Her hand brushes a strand of hair back behind his ear, and he hears, more than feels, the kiss to the top of his head. “I’ll be right outside, baby-- baby.”" worst day of my fuckass life

KIVA OBEYS. I CANT DO THIS

clean clay is such a fun addition i love that. also love how official you made the practise of witchcraft bc that's EXACTLY what i want from it like it's literally like talking to any other medical professional

"He spends his time in the sunlight of the library, Kidaro napping on the windowsill, with political treatises, historical scrolls, and the occasional epic poem spread out around him like a hurricane, a method to its madness. He enjoys it. He was always a child with his head in the clouds. He does miss music, though. The palace can get quiet" MY BABY MY BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

RIN IS THE OBEDIENT ONE. KIVA OBEYS. DOG MOTIF HARASAEON IS THE BULLET IN THE GUN IM HOLDING

HELPPPPPP MARY IS KINDA GAGGING HIM HERE LMFAO I LOVE HER

HE TOLD HER ABOUT LILLA????? KING PUT THE VODKA DOWNNNNNNNNNN

"Royal blood, good for nothing but animal feed." NOVA. WHEN. I. CATCH. YOU

AND HE CANNOT ASK DRAKO. THEY'RE BROTHERS THEY'RE MAATUI BUT EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS WILLEM IS SOMETHING THEY CANT MAKE PEACE WITH

'would you still love me if I was a worm?' caught me SOO OFF GUARD IM CACKLING I CANT BELIEVE YOU ADDED THAT

"Rin had created a ten-step plan for the event that one of them met the same fate." HES SUCH A NERD I WOULD KILL FOR HIM

memory so bad i actually checked my kuserian dictionary bc i was like 'oooo ghost being translated to death-shadow is cool why dont i remember that' girl....

HAMMARIIIIIIIII. the way even her name made my stomach flip. what if i cried

got too immersed in the procedure and forgot to live react oops

"he would do anything if it meant he was doing it right" "It’s just that a firstborn is a war. A firstborn is a hurricane with a thousand buzzing wings. It is an omen seared into the back of all their necks, it is once-in-a-generation, it is a gift from the gods. And Rin is not one."

DID YOU. DID YO UFCKNING PUT EPIC OF GILGAMESH IN THIS. DIIIIID YOU FUCKING DO THAHFT. HOW LONG IS THE EYE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE SUN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING NOTHING AT ALL HAS LASTED HE'S BEEN DEAD SINCE THE BEGINNING IN THE STORY OF GODS AND KINGS YOU WERE DEAD BEFORE THE INK DRIED

drako's first thought only being to ask 'will you be okay'. frankly i cant take much more. is this how you guys feel when i talk about them because this is AWFUL

"There were myths, in the burnt edges of the kingdom, that said that there were only ever two Harasaeons. The queen and the heiress, switching places in a cycle like night and day. Hammari and Kiva, two stages of the same life, the snake’s egg and the hummingbird. And then, their reincarnations, Lugalia and-- who? The queen is dead. Long live the queen. It is a form of immortality. Rin shattered it." STOP STOP MAKE IT STOP

the philisophical conversation. is love a form of magic. the chasm of his birth. im going to GET YOU

"Please, Ama. You don’t have to love me anymore. Just remember how it felt when you did." THROWING UP BLOOD

that was. im a changed person i need 3-5 business days to think about this i need to call my mum i need to get drunk i need a fantasy witch to cut my tits off

omg hi!!! so true herines harasaeon group suicide girls night <3 and kiva has made her ao3 debut! she's girlbossing she's literally a debutante she is the queen of all time. yeah

-the witch does have short hair! she's from the east (where the monsters are) and yknow I figure that her powers are used for medicine, but if she didn't have all the safety things put in place (no sunlight, careful runes and careful chants) and just went hogwild on a monster she could basically Shigaraki that thing. monster hunting is her side hustle tbh

-the formal speech was fun for me idk. watched too much BBC Victoria with my mom and now I gasp like a gossiping old lady when I write the phrase "You have my permission to withdraw" bc it's SUCH a power-play it's so good.

-my days might be numbered but so are Rin's

-sunlight and shadow motif with nuance is always sm fun. me when characters are bright and carcinogenic. me when characters are invisible, shadows dogging their own steps, silent and beaten-down and elegant all the same. yeah

-“I’ll be right outside, baby-- baby.”" worst day of my fuckass life too tbh, that's the line that really clicked the whole fic in place for me. kiva loves him but not enough to change him. baby boy good luck taking care of yourself. etc

-dog motif harasaeons you will always be famous

-clean clay and also the oldest sigils Mary paints on Rin are cuneiform if that wasn't clear. mesopotamian aesthetic goes hard

-Mary DOES kinda gag Rin lmao. she's literally so Kanut-coded I can't stand her. she's like 'i won't throw hands with a child but i will permanently invert his worldview with some moderately harsh words and also disrespect the queen if it means showing him that there's someone who supports his evolution wholeheartedly'

-he cannot ask drako!!! grief is something the harasaeons can't stand i think. kiva ignores rin like an open would because she grieves him and lilla. willem is given the same treatment

-"would you still love me if i was a worm" is a tonal shift I wasn't sure about but I think it works. something about siblings defaulting to poking fun at each other when they can't stand the truth. their love must go either unspoken or mocked. they can only survive it with a little humor and a little grace

-rin is the nerd of all time and i love him for it

-i'm gonna be so real death-shadow meaning ghost is something i stole wholesale from Mando'a. like the language for star wars mandalorians. but yknow what the concept fucks hard and george lucas doesn't own the literal mistranslations of his peripheral conlangs

-"It’s just that a firstborn is a war." harasaeons when they have to decide between an insane warmongering eldest daughter and literally anyone else

-yes i did put the epic of gilgamesh in there. yes i was browsing Amazon Goodreads for good quotes in the middle of my economics class. dw about it

-drako asking 'will you be okay' IS how we feel when you drop the saddest lore of all time on us unprompted, yeah x

-Lugalia and-- who? The queen is dead. Long live the queen. It is a form of immortality. Rin shattered it." me when Rin ending the cycle could have been construed as a positive ending to the cycle of generational trauma and violence but instead it is a betrayal to his heritage

-"is love a form of magic" is also one of the central lines of the piece. i wanted to show the deep childlike core of Rin's pain. Tell me a story about how it ends where you're still the good guy I'll make pretend cause I hate this story where happiness ends and dies with you I thought good guys get to be happy I'm not happy. etc. you know how it is

tysm!!!!

[call-me-strega]

Hooray, I’ve somehow reached 500 followers!

I’ve reached a benchmark number and I’m a little surprised bc where did all y’all come from? But I love and appreciate each of you <3!! I think I’ve reached the point where I can name my followers and I kinda have a witch aesthetic going so how do you all feel about being called my familiars? Idk if that’s just me being weird but I really appreciate all of you liking me enough to follow me and stick around.

Now I have a burning question for all of you:

New rebloging (?) Post dump

ik not what u asked for (sry idk how to @ u)

So here what i think how kaeya got to mondstadt

When the cataclysem started khaenri'ah was affected the most and tryed to control it thay had no choise as to rely on abyss energy in order to survive and flee over the abyss

(thay became abyss mages later cuz curse)

when the archon arved kaeya was told to evacuate with the others

Kaeya stayed to his fathers side how can he leas life like thous who blazz with fiar if he runs like a cowered

Put some sadnis kaeya had 2 best friends

The name is otto he went with him to be evacuated but thay run out of food so thay had to eat the flash of the others and than of eachother as thay waited for kaeyas father otto didn't make it

otto von bismut .II from a reather famus famaly who had great influence on khaenri'ahs outer politic and a clan trusted by irmin otto likes bottanig and one day wants to stundy plants in sumeru snd promised kaeya to bring kim a kaeya flower if it isn't extingt (witch it is and it was kaeyas moms favorite flower in sumeru)

kaeyas dad fund him in time and cuz pierro wants to avoide the abyss for kaeya thay travel a diffret rout than the others atlest kaeya dose

I have no idea how Pierro got in contact with tsaritsa idk

Since time works diffret pierro kind of time traveld via abyss ig

Kaeya had to go the ''normal way over see idk pierro woud leave kaeya for a while to deal with fatui and get food for kaeya

One day thay meet an insane women named skirk she toke kaeya 3 days ? hours ? In the abyss while in tyvat 300 years passed pierro hates her obuosly but it saved time ?

(And realy smart guy from mondstadt named Elbert Ainstone made a theory about time and relativaty sumeru scalers called him mad so rukkatavata sugsest he go and study in khaenri'ah)

Pierro first wanted to keep him save in shneznya,but kaeya hates the cold .Pierro realizes he can no longer give kaeya what he needs ,a loving famaly and a happy life( kaeyas mom insisted that kaeya has to be happy at all costs)

So pierro lies the shit out of himself to kaeya

So thay arvive in mondstadt why ?

Kaeyas relatives in natlan are alrady dead and sumeru is a no go cuz 1 freaking sages 2 he dosen't know what thay will do if thay find out kaeya is the last dhari

Mondstadt has an absent archon so it's almost like home

Delusion for a childe ect

Maby kaeyas dad left him in the rain so he won't have to see pierro cry

And somthing that buged me dain says the only idantaty that metters was being from khaenri'ah

What woud happen if one where to abonded his heratige and what where to happen if people from who knowes where chose to become part of khaenri'ah? How will the curse affect tham

Do pierro and kaeya have this mystirus 'It'

What do you think ? (Don't worry i have so much more )
