Star Flower, loner, Medic of SkyClan
She/Her, cis bisexual
Mother: Turnip
Father: One Eye
Adoptive Father: Skystar
Siblings: Unnamed, all deceased.
Design notes:
-She is styled after the Pokemon, Ogerpon
-The plants are a physical part of her body. They grow out of her.
-She is the physical embodiment of The Blazing Star.
Story notes: [Abuse CW]
-She was born as a normal kitten to a traveling band of rogues who loved to trade and spread their music. Unfortunately, this band died out to a plague, one that nearly took her own life. Desperate to save his family, her father Carrot traveled to a set of tunnels in Sanctuary Lake rumored to house a reality-bending god. He asked the god for a cure, and the god asked for his eye in return. They made the exchange, and he retrieved a glowing, golden, five pointed flower. However, he was too late to save most of his family, so the entire cure went to his surviving kit. He wasn't expecting her to survive the night given her fragile state and the dubiousness of the exchange...
-But the next morning, she was perfectly fine- great, even. If a little... odd... were those buds growing on her paws...?
-It only got stranger from there. When Carrot ended up finding more cats suffering from the plague, just a few calming purrs from his kit seemed to have them ripe and ready to go the next morning. Carrot understood then what had happened- his kit had become the cure herself. And cats were starting to look towards them more, started begging for her healing, for anything. And Carrot had lost everything... wasn't it time to start winning stuff back?
-And so, the pair became One Eye and Star Flower, for recognition's sake. The two formed their own small group, filled with cats Star Flower had healed. Star Flower loved to spread her magic where she went, to save cats from the brink of death and be showered with their love and appreciation. They felt like they owed a great debt to her, and she enjoyed that.
-She was very close with her father, even if their relationship could be strained. One Eye loved her, but to an extent, he also used her. He grew arrogant in his success, believing he had become the accomplice to a god, and began to hold that over cats who fell sick. He grew desperate for control and Star Flower was his key to that.
-One day, however, her father's group encountered the early clans. They were just beginning to settle down, work out their new rules, and declare borders. But what caught the group's attention was the near murder of a young kittypet, almost mauled to death by proto-SkyClan's leader, Skystar. Unable to heal wounds with her magic, Star Flower managed to bring the cat to a twoleg, who took her away.
-Appalled by the cruelty, Star Flower took a great interest in Skystar's group, and witnessed several of his other crimes against his cats and the other groups. As did One Eye, who, seeing the early signs of a plague, had an idea to put this cat and the other leaders in their place.
-One Eye and Star Flower joined the group, with One Eye acting as a curious loner, flattering Skystar with praise. Skystar enjoyed his company, and so One Eye grew in the rank rather quickly. He also took a great interest in Star Flower and her abilities. After murdering Tom, who insulted the cats and attempted to attack them, One Eye took the chance to take control over the group, overpowering Skystar and using Star Flower's power to keep the remaining cats in line- everything is going to be okay, you'll get your cure... if you stay in line and do as One Eye says.
-This went on for a moon, of Star Flower holding her magic over the heads of her clients to keep their loyalty towards One Eye. She would be lying if she said she didn't feel pride at it all at helping her father.
-Ultimately, One Eye was overthrown and killed when Skystar came back with reinforcements from the other clans. The rest of the rogues they'd accumulated ran off, and suddenly, Star Flower was alone. She'd never been without her father, and running would mean abandoning his grave, which she didn't want. But... this place had been a home to her for some time now, and she needed a place to stay. SkyClan had taken all of the available territory in the area, anyways, and she was in no shape to brave the other territories or twolegplace. So she offered her power to SkyClan as a peace offering and asked for shelter in return.
-Skystar was still sore from the event, but he couldn't deny that having Star Flower as an asset would be beneficial to him in the long run. And around this point, his son Thunderstar had disowned him and split off ThunderClan from SkyClan. He felt that he was losing allies, losing family, and he latched on to desperate Star Flower very quickly- as a cat who would never disobey him.
-Skystar takes Star Flower under his wing as his new child, her new ward, instating her as a medic. And because she is loyal to a fault, she won't disobey a new leader so similar to her father. And so, he pushes her to do humiliating things in front of the camp, ranging from general chores like tick baths, to forcing her to run laps around camp with an injury if she took too long to work her magic. He would take out his frustration from gatherings on her and berate her over the most menial things. He would make her withhold her power to help anyone in the clan who had displeased him. And if Star Flower ever tried to stick up for herself, all he had to do was remind her of what she did, how she helped torment his cats by holding a cure over their heads to help out her father.
-This went on for years, Star Flower becoming more and more despondent. One night, there was a particularly stressful gathering, in which Skystar got into a territorial dispute with Thunderstar over a pack of dogs ravaging the territories. He lost the dispute, came home, and immediately took it out on Star Flower, shouting at and attacking the molly for "taking too much food she didn't deserve". And something in Star Flower finally snapped, and for the first time, she didn't save a life- she took one. And another. And another. As many as what remained in Skystar's soul. She was discovered taking his very last life in his nest, while she was wondering if she could pin it on the dogs. She escaped the camp, and wandered the territory for the rest of her life.
-Unfortunately, while she finally won against Skystar in the moment, it was history who decided the victor. Sparrowstar declared that they couldn't let a tragedy like this happen ever again, and doubled down on banishing rogues. Every rogue-born cat was looked at with suspicion from then on, and as the decades began to pass, Star Flower's story became twisted and bent. As the story is told, a rogue had infiltrated SkyClan's camp asking for help, but had manipulated and charmed the leader with her prowess and rose in the ranks just high enough to take him out and attempt to claim his spot. Her story was used as a cautionary tale against rogues, warning cats against those who would infiltrate the camp and rot it from the inside. Eventually, even her true name was lost to time...
Rotten Flower, Warrior of The Dark Forest
Skystar didn't hesitate to throw her in the depth of the Dark Forest when she died. She wears her mask constantly, trying to keep away from the sickness of the muck. She's embraced the false myth made about her, claiming to have killed a founder for power and prestige. But in reality, it's been so long that she's forgotten her family, her power, her name. She barely even remembers Skystar himself. Though she's admired in the Dark Forest for her achievements, she doesn't hang around anyone, and acts hostile to those who approach her.
Perhaps someone can help her remember who she truly is...?
#changing up the way I do these! wanna make it a bit more clear this is all an au#might go back and update those older posts#anyways...i blorbo'd her. i know everyone likes making her a femme fatale and thats awesome and cool and great if you do that#but man... in canon shes so tragic. shes not allowed to be a person. just a tool for one eye then an object for clear sky#shes treated as evil for warning her dad about an ambush and shes gotta humilate herself for forgiveness. like... man. i wanted to lean int#that. like shes still screwed up for helping her dad use her magic to control people especially during the plague but she didnt deserve thi#also dw she DOES leave the dark forest. she escapes. homegirl does get better#star flower#warriors#wc#warrior cats#dotc#dawn of the clans#skyclan#dark forest#razorverse#anyways i may revise this overtime.... i dont want this to just come across as like. starf suffering hour#she had good parts of her life. i kinda want to make her and bumble friends#edit: i retooled star flower to be skystar's adoptive daughter once thunderstar disowns him#i wanted to play with the original text but. that sort of thing just skeeves me out way too much sorry. so im gutting it#you already know he sucks. i dont want to do any more than that.

I was wondering, how did DU Drow took to Orins betrayal? To her being the one that stabbed him in the back, and so how did his infatuation and imprinting on her changed or twisted? Did he feel anything when he saw her again? Did his body or mind remembered how he felt about her once? Also do not worried for long replies because I’m a sucker for them 🧛🏻♀️
You know, actually I like thinking about the very moment of the betrayal a lot and the rollercoaster of emotions DU drow would have experienced LOL I don't know EXACTLY how Orin managed to get away after mushing up his brain (and him being immediately rendered unconscious sounds a little boring to me) but I assume, wherever they were at the time - probably mindflayer hideout at Ketheric's I believe - she lured him somewhere where she could make a quick get-away and leave him behind either locked away or stuck when he inevitably reacted to what she did, before his mind started drifting away.
Which is just to say he would have had a few minutes of consciousness left immediately after-the fact. Orin got a head-start because he simply could not believe what had just happened: lots of "what did you do? what did you do? why did you do that?" followed by unbridled anger as reality settled in. He assumed he was going to die, so, If he could have gotten to Orin in time DU drow would have killed her. Instead he was left alone in what was probably the most terrifying and anxiety inducing few minutes he ever had in his life before his body and brain just gave out lol
POST the tadpole he remembered nothing. He had no feelings of sadness or mourning when he saw her, just a lot of rage. The weird "imprinting" he does on people was reset when his brains got scrambled, and he felt no love or affection for her from that point on. That said, I think he found something a little gross in the satisfaction he felt upon killing her, like he finally "got her" - if you catch my drift.
What's a little ironic (and kinda sad) here is that it's thanks to his affection towards Astarion that DU drow could even begin to understand concepts like consent and boundaries - these would have been key to realize that the position he put Orin in for years was profoundly uncomfortable and unfair, and perhaps with that in mind he *could* have somehow reached out to her and maybe even spared her of her own fate (I'm not entirely sure about this because of how faithful she was to Bhaal - but it would have at least raised the chances THE TINIEST BIT), but since the relationship was only possible BECAUSE his memories were erased, leaving nothing but resentment towards her, that became an impossibility. You can't have both; his infatuation with her either ceased and he completely forgot he ever cared for her and hence had no motivation to save her, or he remained utterly obsessed and never developed the relationships necessary to understand his role in his own demise.
In that later scenario the best he would have been able to do by the time he got to her was insist they go rogue, fuck Bhaal and fuck this, come with me and lets go be crazy [together] somewhere else and of our own accord - but obviously, Orin would have had no interest in the offer lmao and things would have ended up the same as they did in the main campaign - except now DU drow is a slightly worse person and doesn't have Astarion to hone him in. Even after she died I don't think a relationship between them could have sparked either, likely BECAUSE his obsession with Orin would have skeeved him away entirely.
#but that's only thanks to the very specific circumstances that occurred#ask#orin the red#DU drow lore

So I get that in theory Edizzy makes marginally more sense than Stizzy given that one half of Edizzy has expressed a romantic/sexual interest in the other half but it skeeves me SO. MUCH. MORE. bc (and I understand that these are fictional characters) Stede doesn't want or love Izzy - he is the protypical Ed Girl - but he has never been put in a situation onscreen where that has been made undeniably evident. Ed has, twice, and each time he was visibly repulsed by the intimation of Izzy wanting him. Ed canonically wants none of Izzy. He is grossed out and pissed off at the idea of Izzy percieving him that way. It feels horrid and kind of violating that people ship an abusive character with a character they have victimised who has also v clearly, across two seasons, shown that they are disgusted and angry about the abuser wanting/"loving" them. Ed wants NONE of this Edizzy shit. Edizzy shippers do not give one actual fuck about Ed and I hate that, and kinda hate them for that a little bit.

❥ my top ten redacted audio speakers !!
i’ve seen a bunch of people doing this so i wanted to join in! i love a bandwagon 😋
feisty werewolf; milo - i mean, come on. *gestures at my blog* look at me. milo very quickly took top spot, by the time i got to the panic attack audio i was like the rest of y’all can pack it up bc this guy’s got me hooked lmfao it was just so sweet to see a softer side of the guy who, at that point in the timeline, had mostly only been abrasive, cocky, and flirty. that accent also does everything for me. the exact moment i fell in love with him was when he said, “of course i’m not mad. i was worried - scared that you were hurt or something. but never mad.” 🫠💖
nervous air elemental; lasko - lasko… what can i say about lasko. he definitely awoke something in me lmao, initially i didn’t want to get into the elementals because meeting new people felt like a chore at the time but he immediately made me laugh and it was all downhill from there… i love that he’s kinda freaky and he makes me want to bite him in the non-canon audios, but even in prime universe he’s just so sweet and a really good friend. and his relationship with coworker makes me so proud of his development
arrogant incubus; gavin - i’ve said it before but gavin’s the reason i’m here! his hbs 2023 audio was my first audio of the channel, and to go back in time and watch his progression to that point was so heartwarming 🥺 him and freelancer are possibly the best pair in the universe, i just adore everything about them. gavin’s audios are actually the hardest ones for me to listen to because the love he has for freelancer is suffocating to witness in a really bittersweet way 😩
yandere cultist friend; blake - this one is um …. i never expected this HAHA when i first listened to the balance he really skeeved me out (as he should), but then mother mother released ‘explode!’ and for some unfathomable reason it got into my head as a blake song and i couldn’t dissociate it from him. on a second listen of the balance, i definitely appreciate his character more and the juxtaposition of him with elliott and sunshine vs bestie is so so interesting to me. i can’t even be mad at bestie because he’d have me wrapped around his finger too 🥲 rly nervous for his next story update
chaotic boyfriend; guy - BABYGIRL. humor is the biggest thing i look for in relationships both platonic and romantic and no one makes me laugh like guy does. he’s so my type and the way honey acts is literally how i am with guys i like, so guy audios are always so much fun to listen to 💖 and no BA hits quite like that pre-recorded one
i ended up talking more than i thought i would so the other half is under the cut!
it gets kind of messy in the second half because i think these could get shuffled around depending on my mood but for now these are my thoughts!
seer obscura; morgan - morgan is… captivating. i know he kinda only blew up after ‘time is a song’ but it’s with good reason; the atmosphere is so calming but also, like… there’s a longing to it, ykwim? the two of them being the only know seer obscuras naturally lends a hand to the tension between them. no one else understands their unique struggles - so when his new obscura acquaintance calls him up in the middle of the night asking for help and comfort, of course he isn’t going to say no. it’s such an intimate setting for their third audio together and you can feel the tension building the whole time up to “i want to know you.” it’s just a really good audio. very interested to see where his story goes
sarcastic inchoate demon; avior - THE SNARK. THE QUIET KINDNESS. THE MYSTERY. THE YEARNING. THE TRAGEDY. avior’s got it all. sovereign state had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and still does, honestly. his hbs rewind audio is one of my favorites; the effort and love he put into that little date to give starlight a reprieve from their shared hell… he is such a romantic 💖 there’s nothing quite like falling in love while stuck in an actual hell
unempowered boyfriend; geordi - he’s an interesting one for me bc my love of him is directly tied to cutie + cutie’s telepathy giving us a look into his head (i just melt over his whispered little i love yous and compliments). they have a fascinating and messy story that i live for even when it makes me sick lol i adore that they’re both flawed but that they’re taking steps to better themselves. it’s fun when couples in the redactedverse aren’t perfect but still try to be better out of love
mysterious stranger; hush - THE weird guy. within his first audio i went from being indifferent to charmed. i love a mystery and everything about him is mysterious, but he’s also so clueless sometimes that it’s like. so what if he tied doc to the bed in their first meeting, now he’s asking to hold their hand when he’s nervous. so what if his purpose is to free the sovereigns? he learned how to cook for doc. i can’t NOT love him
unknown yandere caller - i’m a ghostface fan, okay. and i’m a taurus. i like when people are obsessed with me 🤷🏼♀️ there’s just something so… like. listen. “you’ll start to expect me. you’ll start to crave me.” from the audio and “i know you’ll find them. and you’ll keep them. because they’re from me.” from his card? the arrogance. it’s bewitching. i need him back ASAP i don’t even care if he doesn’t get a real name, i just miss him. come back please 🙏🏻
#redacted audio#redacted asmr#yap yap yap girl be QUIET 😭#i’ve spent most of today on this post smfh#sweetheart.txt#misc

A/N ::: Down bad for this one today. He always kinda skeeved me out when he was a teenager but seeing him all grown up I was like, damn son. Come Netflix and chill with me. This is so much longer than I intended it to be, not sorry? But thank you for reading it! I really appreciate everyone taking the time to read my stuff and reblogging it if you do that, too! It would have been much shorter if I had been able to just sit down and not be called away from it 12.9 times. But it is what it is. Enjoy!!
*also: art by @/iluvluvnutella // permission for use was posted*
*also also: I purposely used a pic of Makoto as an ADULT. Yeah, I'm well aware the pic in the back is when he was a teenager. NONE of these HC's are about him when he was a teenager.
C/W ::: MDNI UNDER THE CUT, PLEASE.
〽️ Is very sweet.
〽️ Takes you out for ice cream (or whatever) once a week on your agreed upon date night.
〽️ Knows your favorite flower and will bring you one whenever he passes by them.
〽️ Likes to be touching you almost all the time when you're walking around town/shopping.
〽️ Isn't possessive or anything like that, but loves you so much that it's become second nature to him at this point to always have some part of him against some part of you.
〽️ Knows your favorite perfume (and your favorite cologne on him - he wears it because he knows how much it drives you crazy).
〽️ Likes the smell of your armpit.
〽️ Known to yank on his dick every opportunity he could.
〽️ Steals your panties (without your permission - but you still know about it and if it were anyone else, it would definitely bother you but it's your bf so whatevs.)
〽️ Has asked to be tied up more than once.
〽️ Suggests wax play quite often (but doesn't know your secret: he's almost convinced you to do it).
〽️ Has no preference whether or not he's on top or you are. Or in front or behind. Just loves to feel good with you.
〽️ Never really thought about anyone in particular while he jerked off (unless you count those women in magazines in itty bitty teeny weeny bikinis) until he met you. And as far as he's concerned, no one before you matters, anyway.
〽️ Likes to kiss you until you're a complete mess.
〽️ Is not above begging for you.
〽️ Wants you to tease him/edge him. (He's so pretty all sweaty and flustered, his skin flushed and bright pink cheeks, heavy, leaky cock.)
〽️ Will run his fingers all over your body and won't stop a second before you're whimpering and whining about how badly you need him to give you more.
〽️ Won't give you more until he's sure you'll cum just as fast as he does.
〽️ Has a pretty cock and knows it. (He's even admired it in all its glory.)
〽️ Is shaven because he likes how it feels and looks.
〽️ L-o-v-e-s sloppy blowjobs. Like, fluids all over the lower half of your face and upper chest.
〽️ Will make out with you after you're done (even if he doesn't cum, he'll still pull you up to kiss you).
〽️ Hopes you'll make out with him after he's done going down on you, too. (Not because he thinks it's "fair", but because he thinks it's hotter than hell.)
〽️ Sleeps nude.
〽️ Wakes up every morning with a raging boner.
〽️ Makes it well worth your while if you stayed over the night before.
〽️ Makes breakfast with organic and free-range animals because it "makes him sad" to think about their last moments on this planet being shitty. (Has been shut up by your counterargument about how they're last moments on this earth are being killed ... for food - how can they possibly NOT be shitty? And then you thank him for a delicious breakfast.)
〽️ Itadakimasu! (But with real food this time!)

Do non-RiverClan cats fish in times of hunger? I always thought it was weird that, in canon, fishing automatically means stealing from RiverClan. They have multiple rivers in the territories!! why does RiverClan own All Fish, Forever cjshahdh
FISH YUCKY. So the Clans say.
ThunderClan and WindClan only consider fish if they are literally starving. Icky. They don't like dipping their paws in water, they hate the smell, and even culturally they just have a taboo against it.
Kinda the same way some people get skeeved out over the idea of eating snails. Even though you haven't lived unless you've had conch fritters don't @ me
RiverClan can get testy over cats fishing in The River because they claim ownership of it. Other Clans have creeks and brooks, but The River belongs to them. Even when ThunderClan owns Sunningrocks, RiverClan insists their territory ends at the rim.
So in the Lake, they have the same mindset. "The Lake is ours. Only we can swim and fight in it, so it is our territory by default."
Trading factors in as well. They don't WANT the others learning how to dive for mussels, or finding out how to make fish oil. They want to be the only ones who can produce these.
ShadowClan, however, doesn't give a good goddamn about any of this. They'll find a way to make anything taste good, they love finding out all your secrets, and they don't want to have to rely on any imports from any other Clan ever. You can't stop them from fishing in their own territory, even though they're not great at it.
ShadowClan also eats something even RiverClan turns their noses up at; Crayfish. River bugs. Numnum cronchy, pinch the heads and suck the tails. Put it in the soup.
#Which became more of a culture clash at the lake#When they started sharing a border lmao#Clan culture#Better bones au

So what is your take on sisyphus' personality? Idk how much material there is in ultrakill itself, but I've read some fanfics that characterized him as rough/mean and selfish, kinda brutish overall, especially as a lover that have skeeved me out. Apologies if you've posted abt this already
SO MANY FICS GET HIM WRONG!!! `huff. i feel like so many people get him wrong they WAY overdo his cruelty(which if you may have missed, it primarily shines when he Must do it for the sake of Others).
my take on his personality is def a quiet one. spiteful. skilled fighter. however itd be silly to not acknowledge how hed go to the ends of the earth for his comrades cheat and kill whoever he needs to to reach that goal. Just another struggle for him to overcome and gain strength from. Hes quiet with ppl he doesnt know and untrustowrthy, hes very tactical as a king. BUT if he knows likes and Trusts you i think hes like Shockingly playful. so so cold to so so Warm and chuckling his ass off when you bump your head. also very affevtionate and gentle with any lovers:). i dont think hes straight up mean hes just Passive Aggressive and insults gabriel(for example) so subtly that only when he thinks abt what sisyphus said Later does he realize ??!?Hang on! ... hes very patient and i think he Never really lets his temper escalate in casual settings. only way you could tell is thru Subtle body language. he aims to be unreadable.
going back to spite. i think hes a bit of a jackass bc he does LOVE proving people wrong. heaven thought his willcould be broken but he made them be WRONG even in death his will was so strong he became a PRIME SOUL. you could imply you dont think he can do this or that and hell be quick to Prove You Wrong. loves to push against the river of eternal damnation just so you can Eat Your Words. Satisfying to him. lil bit smug.
When people write him overtly angry and, the second he sees something he doesnt like, he instantly goes to yelling and violence.. IT FEELS MILDLY RACIST TO ME. But i might justbe nuts. could jusg be me. idk.
#asks#He is not overtly violent or anything in canon its Blaatantly obvious hes HAVING FUN!#i like to think when him and gabby sparred pre-prime he made it to be a fair fight.#(primarily bc the situation was casual enough 4 it)

i saw that you were welcoming infodumps that relate to dracula! i have a not so fun fact about bram stoker and oscar wilde to share :)
so. we know for a fact that wilde was invited to a bunch of dinners at the lyceum theatre. we know stoker wrote those invitations, and it's overwhelmingly probable that he was also responsible for making the guest list. we have tons of evidence showing that stoker was pretty close friends with wilde's parents. basically, we may not know the specifics of their relationship-- we have no solid evidence that justifies saying they were close-- but we do know they knew each other. they hung out in the same circles, their families were friends, stoker presumably chose to invite wilde to all his cool club dinners, and wilde certainly kept in touch with florence.
wilde also adored both henry irving and ellen terry, the leading players of the lyceum, so he found a lot of excuses to visit the theatre. he and stoker shared a passion for walt whitman's poetry. they went to the same university, where stoker recruited wilde to the philosophical & historical society-- though wilde was never a particularly active member. all this to say that wilde was definitely, inarguably, someone who had a presence in stoker's life.
in stoker's only work that can be even remotely considered autobiograpical, which is actually a biography of his boss + allegedly close friend henry irving (titled personal reminiscences of henry irving; wouldn't recommend it, it's not exciting reading), he never mentions wilde. not once. not even when he just straight up lists all the famous people who visited the lyceum theatre.
the book was published after wilde's conviction for gross indecency. there's no record of stoker voicing any opinion about the trials or the conviction-- no public outrage, no public mourning. nothing. wilde's brother wrote to him about the whole ordeal, but there's no evidence stoker ever replied. ellen terry was vocally supportive of wilde. author hall caine, to whom Dracula is dedicated (under the petname hommy-beg), expressed shock and grief and moral outrage. but as far as we can tell, stoker said nothing.
to me, that's one of the loudest silences in history. the only indication of an opinion we ever get is that some years later, he published some articles arguing for the moral benefits of censorship of plays and novels.
florence kept the letters wilde had written her till her dying day, though. apparently her family was convinced she could have prevented the tragedy if she had just married wilde instead of stoker, which is..... certainly some kind of take lmao
(most of this info is taken from Barbara Belford's biography on Stoker plus Talia Schaffer's article on the influence Wilde had on Dracula. they both end up... idk, sort of trying to psychoanalyze a guy who's been dead for a century in a pretty invasive way that kinda skeeved me out? but all the claims i'm repeating here are pretty well substantiated by historical sources, which both authors were very good at tracking down. i know i probably don't need to cite my fucking sources in a tumblr ask or explain why i'm choosing to rely on flawed sources but it's the grad school brainworms i can't help myself)
Don’t apologize for citing sources I love you for it ❤️
Also that’s SUPER interesting, there just seems like a lot of uncovered bts drama happening with stoker and wilde’s relationship but like you said so much of it is just speculation and it’s easy to slip into territory of disrespecting dead people by theorizing too much about their personal life. But it is a really fascinating subject to learn about
And I’m realizing asking for info dumps is an amazing way to get through the off season so YESSSS THANK YOU!!!
#dracula daily#dracula#bram stoker#oscar wilde#keep it coming if you’ve got facts lol I’m loving this#and ty sooo much for this long one!#ask#asks

I said I wanted Jamie kid fic. But no. I take that back.
If there's going to be any cliche' kid fic he should be forced to deal with a teenager. Allow me to elaborate...
Yes, Jamie is good with kids. But I want to see him with someone who will just unashamedly roast him because THERE'S SO MUCH ROAST MATERIAL. To him: "Yeah, I thought that clip of you saying ME! ME! was embarrassing, but that was nothing compared to the second-hand embarrassment I felt watching the overly humble presser. I almost told social services not to contact you. Like, I thought maybe you were drunk or having a stroke or something." Imagine starting high school and yeah your brother is a great footballer but he's also that skeeve from Lust Conquers All.
Whereas with kids Jamie might be able to redirect them with cuddles and cajoling... Teenagers, not so much.
He'd probably start off like: "Here's your allowance, order take-away, your bedtime is never because you're a Young Adult and I'm a Cool Older Brother. Don't touch my protein shakes again please!" ... And that will bite him in the ass eventually. He'll have to develop some of those more hard leadership skills without defaulting to being a prick. He may have to redirect someone else's prickness! (SAM IS DELIGHTED! Jamie is furiously texting Ted at all hours, screw the time difference.)
Then there's the potential for roommate shenanigans with teens. The type of interactions that only happen when you inhabit the same space as someone. Teen making fun of his clothes but then stealing some of them. Pointing out that he is definitely dyslexic, and no Jamie that's not a type of STD. Teen comes home early and walks in on a post hook-up with a guy that leads to awkward bonding (the only people that knew before were Georgie and Simon). Jamie likes having someone waiting up for him when he gets home. They have weekly movie nights.
The chances of James Sr. having another kid he doesn't take care of seem kinda high to me. If you want to get into the angst there could be this uncomfortable subtext that, since they're related through James Sr., that must mean anything they have in common is because of him and hey Fuck That Guy. There's also the chance that James (either genuinely or not, probably a bit of both) starts acting half-way decent to the Teen who barely knows him and Jamie is just sick with resentment and jealousy over it, maybe starts a competition to win their love because no dynamic including James is going to be a healthy one.
(I'd be remiss if I didn't mention there is a fic, The Iron Giant by Frithgeard, with a similar concept that is quite involved but well-written and a great depiction of trauma... in fact, more trauma-focused than my tastes.)

DIAGNOSE THOSE FREAAAAAKS!!!!! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🌬🌬🌬☃️☃️☃️💎💎💎💎
❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️☃️💦💦💦💦
i didnt know what you meant for a split second LOL but word ok I GOTCHA. i did write everybody with cognitive "touchstones" in mind but used it more as one of multiple building blocks in shaping everybody's personalities & tried not to have anybody be a stereotype of their neural makeup. SPOILERS ABOUND BELOW THE CUT HEADS UP!
jake i wrote pretty explicitly as autistic. im not autistic myself but i have multiple close family members who are; ive been around it since i was little to present day & wanted to try my hand at writing an autistic character. i think i had it that his father is also autistic so his parents caught on pretty quickly & got him all the tools he needed growing up to live happily. unfortunately hes also extremely gullible & a firm believer in geek social fallacy
sal is a case of C-PTSD (compounded with the multiple head injuries sustained at the end of sad sack by the time sortie rolls around if thats illuminating at all) which is something he combats by making himself as physically large & intimidating as possible while using that as a social shield if that makes sense. he has this concept of himself as something he needs to mask (often literally) in order to behave as his "true" self, which also is a concept of himself that is "Not Me" that he shucks off anything he may have ever done wrong onto so he never has to take responsibility for anything. i deliberately did not write DID here but he is highly dissociative with poor emotional regulation & deeply low EQ (again: see sortie)
mal is a very nebulous anxiety disorder in an extremely extraverted person. his treatment of it involves trying to "shout" over his anxiety even louder to try & drown it out which goes about as well as youd expect; he actually nearly breaches into a full-on panic attack in book 3 where hes trying to light his cigarette. self medication is also 2 packs a day & his BP is like 220/120 at rest, but he doesnt go to the doctor much or declines blood pressure on the regular cus if he doesnt see it then nothing's wrong. nothing's wrong!
he's also got some shit going on with not being able to perceive himself in any positive light unless he's positioning himself to be praised as a hero or directly comparing himself with somebody he considers "lower" than him, which when you put that up against the context of book 3 is like get the fuck away from me dude. more on that later, i got comic-related plans for mal lol
stone is a deep depression mixed in with barely functional alcoholism (starting to not so subtly breach over into alcoholic psychosis) which all roots back into an unmanaged grief thats turned into him looking for you-know-who in the people around him (ie romantic partners, this dudes a mess) he kinda laid his shit bare in 4 so the less said about that the better, his whole situation honestly skeeves me out bigtime
garv ive gone into his nonsense on here plenty but he is an unintelligent sociopath (no childhood woes he just got born that way) with the added issue of being raised on /b/ LOL

i just reread the scott pilgrim comic again
God its fucking phenomenal , O'malley you genius bastard let me give you incredible sloppy toppy baby i could be so good to you
but that aside i got some stuff to blather about as i do
wow does everyone need to stop kissing highschoolers, i get it, its a different time and everything
but wow almost all of Scott's core friend group either get with or stay really close with knives in a slightly weird way
i also felt like young Neil was way younger, hence the name but he's 20
like fuck man why is young Neil if he's two years young then you?
Anyways let me check my list of other shit
oh yeah, why didn't i remember how quick and easy they handled Lucas lee, like he just throws Scott through a cathedral and then grinds himself to death.
quick and easy and funny too what a guy.
All of the exes except the twins were fucking hilarious , the twins kinda skeeved me out but like , the whole todd fight in the store is awesome.
ramona and wallace being friends was great and the scene where scott tells ramona he loves her
oh man
makes me wanna fight for love more then i already do
Their whole relationship is cute as fuck even when its going rough
like they are literal soulmates, i bet she even fought a Nega-ramona and everything.
I might ramble maddeningly about this more later but, for now i just continue to dribble nonsense
#scott pilgrim#ramona flowers#todd rundgren#what a shit last name rundgren#lucas lee#roxy richter#even if i didnt talk about her or matthew patel#wallace wells

What's your opinions on Scooby-Doo?
YKNOW... I DUNNO.
it's kinda one of those things where i feel deeply that it is something we, as a society, do NOT need to keep making. like. What is there left to say for a series that's been going on for so many decades.
i think that velma being a lesbian is cool af but also it's like. It's not like a real person is coming out. It's a corporate decision presented to the public. It's hard to separate the part of it that's cool from the part that was like. clearly made to keep the show in peoples' consciousness.
i actually really like scooby do and i'm sure the more they keep making, the more fun stuff they can do w/ the formula but also. it's just... one of those things that makes me crave art that works within set limitations. i get skeeved out by stuff that's supposed to continue forever.
though there are certainly less egregious things that fit that bill.
#why did i type all this lmao its not that deep#its a silly doggy show & everyone likes it#including me

Poly!Cruella De Vil and James Nolan/Prince James x Reader || Headcanons
Plot: These two together totally skeeve me out but I just find them as a concept so amusing!! And I'm glad they found eachother XD So, poly relationship HC's are a must.
Warnings: These two are complete freaks. So there are nsfw themes throughout. Kinks include heavy Mommy Kink, James is her bestubbled 'Golden Boy', Pet Play mentions, domestic kinkiness (the way you all act is not just sexual at this point, it's just your dynamic), etc. Also obnoxiously cutesy nicknames like 'Jamesy-poo' XDD That's definitely a warning! And feelings, which sneak up on you (: By the time you realise, its too late XD
This was a blast XD
<3 <3 <3
Alright so Cruella is definitely!! in total control here. She's the Boss. The Dom. The Asmodeus to yours' and James' Fizz, to you Helluva Boss fans.
The Mommy of your little 'family', basically.
Then James is her 'Golden Boy'/naughty boy, and you are their sweet, sweet pet. So like, James is a little bit higher up in the procession of power then you, but not by much.
Often its her directing the two of you equally, but occasionally she'll ask James what he thinks they should do with you, or leave you two to 'play on your own'- and she makes it clear that Jamesy-Wamesy is in charge, while she's away.
"Sweetheart stay with darling Jamesey-poo, mommy has some work to do." - Cruella, whenever she has to go do some Evilness.
When you're cold its really a toss-up; Cruella may actually give you some furs to wear (This version of her really likes the idea of branding you~ ) or you might get James' jacket. His prince jacket! Ahh <3
Cruella may have you dressing like James eventually. She thinks its cute if her two playthings have a uniform.
If you'll remember, James left his old flame Jack to die at the top of the beanstalk, totally heartless- but let me tell you, Cruella has that man so whipped he wouldn't even think about doing that to her unless there was a HUGE pay out. You, he may consider abandoning. But one nasty look from her and he'll save your sweet ass like the prince he was groomed to be. He does love you (As much as he and Cruella can love at least), its just that (In the words of his Wiki Page) he's inherited 'King Georges lack of empathy and ruthless personality'.
You and Cruella watching James fight with David-
You: Oh god, which one's James??
Cruella: The ruggedly handsome one.
You: I- which one!? Who's winning?? Oh, ow! Who just got punched in the jaw?? Who's the one bleeding?
Cruella: Oh, you tell me! They look exactly the same, darling!
You: *deadpanned at her*
You and James have an odd relationship where you kinda argue a lot, when you're not being their obedient 'pet'. You're very snarky with each other and it makes Mommy Cruella roll her eyes- but she loves it. She loves being the 'favourite'.
Cruella, to David: Jimmy has always resented you for being the one that those horrible parents of yours kept...
You: ... ehhh, I don't think he's that deep actually. I think he's just sore he had the best sword lessons in the enchanted forest and still got killed by a Behemoth.
Cruella: Darling-
You: ... and also David got a castle. And people like him. and I don't know how identical they are under the clothes but I bet his dick is bigger, too, honestly.
Cruella: 🙄 Darling...
You: aM I wRoNg????
Cruella: *Sigh, turning back to David who's very understandably uncomfortable* My darlings are such a pain sometimes... anyway Sheriff Stubbles, where were we?
... You and James fight over Cruella often. Who gets to make her drinks, who gets to kiss her first, who gets to go down on her (You've been known to actually trip that asshole off the bed before and he has dragged you to the end of the bed and tied you to the bedpost before. All the while Cruella just sits there all pleased with herself~~ Maybe acting annoyed a little, but acting badly XD), etc.
That doesn't mean you two aren't very fond of each other, though. Its mostly fun, and foreplay (;
Cruella and James are both allowed to have 'fun' with other people (Whether that be actually going out and sleeping with others or just that- 'fun'. Like when Cruella pretended she though David was James and when James pretended to be David to kiss Snow), but let me be clear- you are not.
Cruella: Darling you're like our faithful Rottweiler, aren't you?? You would never hurt us like that. You could never be pleased by anyone else but us. Hm?
James: Yeah, and no one else would put up with you, either *eyeroll*
They don't actually do it very often though, mess around with others. They're both quite content with this relationship right here! Not that either of them would admit it.
<3 <3 <3

about the episode with the 15 year old model!!! (sorry if this obvious) I feel like the point house was making was that he was parroting what the tabloids and agents made her out to be. near the end of the episode he calls out the dad directly; house says smth disgusting, and the dad reacts angerly before House reminds him that he was directly quoting the dad's own writing. you were supposed to feel outrage bc it is disturbing how the media portrayed her, and for the early 2000s, explicitly sexualizing minors happened a lot (miley Cyrus, Amanda bynes, etc)
I agree to a certain degree, having reached the end of that episode. I was gonna make an 'oh thank god' post but honestly, it still skeeved me tf out. And I do think I have a right to be skeeved out! It was... seriously icky.
But I do think it was quite obviously not 'House is hitting on a 15 year old'. More 'House is mocking the entire industry that sexualizes 15 year old fashion models and quite clearly just feels sorry for her and gently tells her to put her clothes back on when she tries stripping off in front of him to 'prove she's a woman'.' When he says gross stuff about her, he's directly quoting from the article her dad wrote about her. And it's pretty clear he thinks that's seriously messed up, so... yeah.
Still, I do think if this series was made today, that should've been handled in a very different way. The way Chase and House talked about her, and the way House talked to her face was still... fucking disgusting. Even if House at least was kinda parodying the media at the time. It's like... an edgelord who says racist stuff (which House also does!) is still racist... And it's very much okay to love a series and a character but still - especially when that series is pretty dated now! - criticise the writing.
Anyhoo, aything involving sexualization of kids really hits a nerve for Personal ReasonsTM and I'd rather not talk further on this subject even if you disagree. x

Trope Game!
tagged by @tj-dragonblade @notallsandmen @virgo-dream thanks guys! <3 (ive been so bad at these lately, so im gonna pounce on this before i forget! lol)
Rules: How much do these tropes affect your decision to click on a fic?
-10 -> very dissuaded
0 -> don't care either way
10 -> very enticed
nope -> if it's a hard no and you'd never click on a fic with that tag or or you ever have the tag blocked or you'd insta click out of the fic if it wasn't tagged
Bonus points for explaining the rating and whether it's conditional.
Age Gap: 0, neither here nor there. i mean... if you think about it too hard, dreamling has quite the age gap, no? but if we're talking modern and human au? i usually only read (adult aged, like 20 years old being the youngest) age gap fics by authors i trust and never go looking for it myself. it's not something im into and seriously skeeves me out otherwise.
Codependency: 3? maybe? not something i ever explored before dreamling (and patrochiles). i do like my ships to be equally dependent. but it kinda works for some dreamling. again, not something i actively think about. but if im reading a fic and i slowly discover that's the relationship, it doesn't bother me (just don't make it infantile, ya know?)
Enemies to lovers: 10. love that shit.
Enemies with benefits: 0. never actually read a fic with this trope. idk how to feel about it.
Fake dating/relationship: 5. when it's done right im a sucker for it.
Found family: 7. as someone who has her own family issues and would rather spend holidays with my friends, im into it.
Friends to lovers: 9. its easy and delicious and always slaps.
Friends with benefits: 0 unless they fall in love at the end, then more like a 4. i do also like the angst potential.
Hurt/comfort: 5. it's okay. personally i feel like it's overplayed in dreamling and i tend to skip it these days.
Love triangle: nope.
Mistaken/hidden identity: 1... im curious to read it.
Monster fu... relationship: 10. yeah im shocked, too.
Obsession, possesiveness, etc.: 7. i have a dark side and it wants to be fed from time to time.
Opposites (lke grumpy x sunshine, etc): 5. like hurt/comfort, getting a little tired of it. its fun for a meme but nothing i particularly care for in my fics.
Poly: -5. ive read maaaybe a couple fics with poly but im not into it personally and mostly avoid it.
Pregnancy: nope.
Second chance: 7! i wrote a second chance fic lol there's such a lack of this trope in dreamling. i really enjoy it if done right.
Sex to feelings: 8. honestly i just love exploring any and all ways my ship can fall in love. that includes falling in lust first ;) (also it's like, always hot).
Slowburn: 8. it's agony. im addicted.
Soulmates: 0. something i really liked when i was a young fanfic consumer. now it kinda gives me the ick lol. it never makes sense in the modern world no matter how well thought out it is.
(also, i feel like these answers could change at any time. but this was fun to do, and to read what my friends are into!) tagging... @magnusbae @mathomhouse-e @beatnikfreakiswriting

[fic: db] I think this is more of a question for Ursa! So you’ve mentioned in past posts that Peter would likely eventually start coping in unhealthy ways with hyper sexuality coming out. Ngl I’m picturing Peter going out and finding rando partners (probably lying about his age/finding skeevy type people who don’t care that he’s a teen) as a way to take back some control sexually but it not working (so correct me if that’s not what you meant!). I’m just wondering how Tony would handle this upon finding out and realizing how much it’s hurting Peter. Also wondering if he’d connect it to some of the things he said to Peter during the attack (stuff about him being a slut/whore) and wondering if Peter internalized that message and how that’s affected his self worth physically/sexually.
[[🐻ursa interlude🐻
Kinda-sorta, yeah! I don't know that Peter would go quite thaaaat risky if just for practical reasons-- he's a public figure, so even if random older men wouldn't necessarily know who Tony Stark's son was, he wouldn't want to put them at risk of legal backlash or public drama by lying about his age and he himself would be a bit too skeeved to go for people that wouldn't care-- buuut developing a sudden interest in going to the Wrong Kind Of Parties and making lots of friends-with-benefits (who are not necessarily very kind friends) to sneak off with at those parties? Definitely. Like father, like son!
(This is of course assuming that they don't, like, fake their fuckin' deaths and disguise themselves and run away to another country lmao, where some of those riskiness concerns re: age/identity wouldn't necessarily be as pronounced-- in that case, I do think Tony is still the only middle-aged man Peter would want to sleep with, but like. Experienced guys from college-age up to ~late 20's who he could lie to about being a little older or whatever just to ease the skeeze factor because it would be legal either way? That would probably actually be his ideal.)
Tony would be upset about it from the perspective that it's obviously not something that's good for Peter-- obviously he is Mr. Sex Positive but this would clearly not be a positive thing. He 100% would realize that it was coming from a place of trauma and yeah, would consider that it might have something to do with what SIM said to Peter during the act. He would try to talk to Peter about it and say all the right things about how sex itself isn't bad but you need to do it in a way that doesn't actually hurt you and blahblah and probably try to bring back up the idea of therapy but it would be a painful conversation for both of them.
(And this is assuming that the way Tony got introduced to this particular trauma symptom of Peter's wasn't by Peter climbing into his lap and giving a repeat of the "I just want to remember something better" speech but like, without the intention to drug Tony at the end this time, lmaooo. That conversation would go different and exactly how different would depend on just how blown up their lives were and how certain Tony was that he could fix it in that particular version of what-happens-next. I of course am partial to the "things are extremely blown up and Tony can't bear to deny Peter anything after what he put him through" version, but there are definitely healthier alternatives too!!)]]
