i'm watching exu: calamity for the third fucking time and i am once again absolutely insane about these fucking characters. laerryn coramar-seelie and loquatius seelie. their whole fucking divorced-in-love mess. zerxus ilerez and his damn prophetic visions. babe what horrors do u dream of now? patia motherfucking por'co. her memory loss payroll. her list of .. "friends with bad memory" . that was fucking crazy to hear the first time and on the third i'm still reeling. nydas okiro, i cant even begin with him . he was a pirate. he lived what could only be a pirate's dream, the guildmaster of a dragon's hoard, a dragon whom he can summon and command at will. his friend's son lives with his brother and family. he puts people on patia's payroll, both conjoined in secrets, but that's not only it. he was described as holding spinning plates at all times. he was laerryn's partner and confidant on her life's work. cerrit agrupnin. the father who got his children out of an apocalyptic catastrophe. the father who kept his promise to be with them. by sheer luck or by fate's design, by the strength of his virtue and love and a father's promise. of all that he could not and did not keep, the one most important. he was an investigator so adept at his job that invisibility could not keep a person hidden from his sight. he had a ring to detect lies. he had a ring. to detect lies. loquatius . the fey who fell in love with a mortal. the reporter who spoke to the people at the end of their lives and his own and called for them to stay. to do their duty, keep their promise. no officials get to leave the people they're supposed to protect and speak for behind. and no one shall forget the most beautiful woman in the world, laerryn coramar-seelie. the woman who, in secret, strived to give her husband and her friends and her heart, her avalir, an option. the choice, to rise above and beyond. to seek the knowledge of realms and stars and all that they could ever achieve. a future so bright it was blinding. a goal so lofty, a dream so wistful. a path tread almost completely alone. and in that, history and mistrust. the gau drashari who expected the wizards to not keep their word, and thus created the circumstance in which the wizards did not know the importance of the tree of names and saw it only as a limitation. because that's all it appeared to be. and zerxus. the godless. champion of a deity-less divinity. oracle who saw visions of the lord of the hells. he saw the lord of the hells, hurting and injured. and in that being he saw redemption and a path to healing. he faced asmodeus and straight up said "oh you poor thing" afsgsjdkfkflflflgl he looked at a god and held nothing but pity for him upon seeing that he could not be redeemed. that there was such deep hatred. he was killed and revived over and over by this god. the god that he brought through into the world. . . the por'co legacy. patia, who in the end gifted her knowledge of everything truly Everything to a young maya agrupnin. and what of young kir and maya? celebrations and festivities, the anticipation of seeing their father. maya snuck out to a party to meet a girl and drink alcohol she doesn't even like, tailed by her brother who mirrored their father. kir, junior investigator, because of him, cerrit thankfully did not have to track down maya in panic. kir who received a message from his father to gather at their home. and then their father sent them away, to safety. 2/3rds of the world met calamity. how must it have felt to be a young child, everything you knew ending and dying. fuck man. that's not even everything i could fucking say about all of this i havent even broached the lord of the hells and the plot and the depth of patia's complexity with memory and knowledge and laerryn and loquatius and their open jabs and silent acts of devotion and love, zerxus and cerrit and their opposing and paralleled paths of fatherhood, nydas' and zerxus and cerrit. protectors. laerryn and patia. visionaries. loquatius. truth and hope and home.

#lynx speaks #long post #i'm. i'm sooooooooo insane about exu shit forreal i'm soooooooo .

Headcanon: Dream “nods off” more than he’d like to admit, especially after he and Hob start seeing each other more. Usually it’s just a split second shift; one moment he’s on the couch next to Hob, watching a cheesy movie, one that he missed during his imprisonment; and then there’s a fraction of a second where Hob is SURE that he’s on the couch alone, but then Dream is back and solid and tangible right next to him. But for that split-second, Dream lost his grip on the Waking, slipping seamlessly back to his own Realm in much the same way that a mortal would slip effortlessly into the Dreaming

And of course Hob teases him for it, because Hob has perfected the art of bantering with his Endless friend, but Dream has never spent this much time (voluntarily) in the Waking, so he’s not used to having to focus on staying present, he’s never needed to for such long periods of time before and when Hob realizes this, he immediately starts apologizing because they could always have their dates in the Dreaming but Dream puts the conversation to bed (pun fully intended) with a soft “Hob Gadling, I want to be in the Waking, here, with you” and Hob never mentions it again (partially because the instances happen less and less frequently, partially because thinking about Dream making the effort to be there with him makes him unreasonably soft every single time)

#I need soft Dreamling #I need Dream putting effort into their relationship and reassuring Hob that he WANTS to be there with him #I need Hob understanding that Dream’s effort isn’t always easy for him #some things are far easier for a mortal than for an Endless #love is one of them #staying for extended periods of time outside of their realms is one of them too #but Dream does both for Hob #and I need Hob to appreciate that effort #to see it for what it is - Dream making up for his past mistakes - and to acknowledge Dream’s efforts #dream of the endless #morpheus #the sandman #sandman netflix #hob gadling #dreamling

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

#my characters #waiting on some info on the next commission so i indulged in ocs today bc i doubt i will have as much time for lil comics for a bit #deacon is so devoted hes like yeah i would kill for a deity that could easily kill anything himself but yknow teehee #and fulj just did you tell him you needed therapy also does he even know youd murder in his name #deacon caught red handed haha no of course i havent told him it should be obvious enough haha.... and its in his defense not his name :c #man really does have some issues but i love him so much and hes so devoted but like. unhealthily after a while #he does in fact need a chill pill and therapy but to be fair #ymber has needed therapy for centuries and yet he just bottles it all up and suffers so #its pretty unhealthy until they yell at each other one (1) time bc they are so insecure about things and get mad over very valid reasons #but then theyre like you know what that was necessary and i still want to stay by your side if you let me #and then fulj is like dude hey sorry you seem really happy did you fu- and ymber is like no please stop there we have not #fulj just squinting cause have not is very different than will not but whatever she doesnt wanna think about that with deacon involved ew #and eventually fulj is like hey ymber im sorry to say but i really do hate deacon and i dont even know why but he makes me uncomfortable #while deacon is just. in the room. hearing this and thinking how he knows she thinks hes weird but wow that wording hurts #and ymber doesnt wanna fill in memories better forgotten by fulj which she had forcefully removed #so he just says oh well his hair and clothing are black and you had someone in the past that you might see in him and its not a pleasant en #so you know maybe its that idk #and fulj is then WHATST i was rude to him for someone i cant even remember? lame im gonna try SO HARD to be nice to him now #and deacon just still sitting there with some food like this is v awkward and i wish i could not be here for it #and later he asks ymber about who he resembled and as ymber is descibing her it clicks in deacons head and he gets really sad #that he might somehow remind fulj of the woman she loved before she was punished for loving a mortal #and he feels kinda bad pestering her so much with his curiosities about deities and he kinda gets it #the fact hes close to ymber might remind her at the core that she was once that close with a mortal if not closer #anyway story time in the tags again #im so obsessed with these peeps and i have made them suffer so much but they do all end on a happy note #its still funny and nice to me that while fulj is creeped out by deacon and doesnt like talking to him #he still expresses the most emotions to her - he tries hard to remain serious around ymber and collected and obedient at all times #and when out and about with ymber he has to be intimidating and refuses smiling but fulj?? all sunshine and smiles and emotions easy to rea #and she is just that is so weird go away i hate you

Something something the way the bones/ashes of a ghost in TGCF work as a totem of love, bc they're literally the anchor of the soul on the mortal realm. Something something Palamedes trusting Camilla to take care of his remains in case he died, so he could come back, trusting her with his soul. Something something Camilla defending ferociously what little she could kept of him near her heart, lamenting she couldn't find the rest, keeping faith to the end.

This is a ghost love story. You could say the way remains and ghosts link is everywhere all over the world, but the specific way theyre a token of love in TGCF reminds me awfully of Camilla and Palamedes whole situation.

Hua Cheng says that if his ashes were destroyed (bc he knows xl enough to know it'd be only when xl is permanently dead and gone himself) (bc if xl doenst want him to remain in this world he won't...) it'd be OK. His soul, his very being on the hands of his beloved. The year of waiting by XL at the end, trusting HC will find his way home to him. Brr.

#the locked tomb #tlt is much more... R romantique and human than tgcf at the same time #tgcf is more a fairytale #tlt mixes scifi and fantasy for achingly human flawed charas and relationships #tian guan ci fu #my thoughts #campal #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #anyways #tgcf au when XD #jod can stay as God emperor; Gideon died on the heavenly tribulation for Harrow ascention....#pal as a god who was banished died as mortal (bc he discovered sus things about jod)#cam was his deputy and she stayed on heaven and became a god on her own right but she kept pal ashes bc they planned for it and now she's #spying on heaven to bring down jod #they recruit harrow and Gideon #ianthe is the water tyrant and corona the wind master with all that implies #this makes babs black water only he was like the childhood friend of the twins when they fucked him over for ascension #(does this means babs is also conspiring with the sixth? Hilarious)#anyways I won't write the au #but I see it in my mind eye #enjoy the horrors of love meanwhile I'm going off for Nona tomorrow

I made this blog mainly as a place to store art + memes for my fandoms and doodles of my original stories. I’ve posted a lot of the former, but none of the latter, so… Here you go? Have some goofy “incorrect quotes” inspired jokes of a project of mine called The Name-Oath.

Context is indented and italicized, but you can probably read through the doodles below without getting too confused if you skip it:

The first half of the actual plot is your standard fae romance starring a human woman who doesn’t realize the male lead is a supernatural creature, and just thinks he’s really into cosplaying alone in a mansion in some freaky forest. The second half is rom-com shenanigans between the divorced human woman and male lead after the world's ugliest breakup. He desperately tries to get back together at every waking moment and she just wants to hang out with her bestie Summer and raise her half-fae daughter in peace. The human woman is named Eglantine, but goes by Egg. She got stuck with the nickname during high school and decided to start going by it in an effort to have a more "average" sounding name. This did not work as intended, but it certainly helped her avoid getting her name stolen when she first met the male lead. She's something called a skipwitch. This is a whole worldbuilding thing I'm not going to get into here. The male lead is named Kieran. He is a drama king. He spent several centuries under magical house arrest. He can talk to rats. He has pretty hair. This is all you need to know about him, except maybe the fact that he's royalty. Summer is Egg's best friend, and she is the resident fae expert in her and Egg's coven. Competitive and protective of Egg. She hates Kieran's guts, and the feeling is mutual. Egg and Kieran's daughter is named Violet, but she goes by Froggy. She is a terrifying force of nature by virtue of being the offspring of a skipwitch and Unseelie prince. Enjoys microwave pizzas, her pet beta fish, video games, and getting her way. Alois is Kieran's invisible butler. He's a surprisingly talented singer.

#I've had this sitting in my drafts for ages bc I was too nervous to post it. oops.#That one comic wasn't an exaggeration btw--- Egg DID survive her first encounter with Kieran despite not knowing magic existed #She kept evading all the stereotypical Fae tricks like asking for your name / trying to get you to eat and drink Fae food #COMPLETELY by accident #Like.#“Hello there. May I have your name?” “Just call me Egg dude. Everyone does it."#“Would you stay a moment and have a drink with me?” “No thanks I just want to use your phone so I can call a friend to pick me up.”#Kieran was spent a lot of the evening they met being very angry that none of his tricks were working.#And then he later found out it wasn't that they weren't working because this mortal woman knew exactly how to slither her way past them---#she had NO CLUE what she was doing.#He is even angrier when he learns this #and his anger is compounded by the fact #that he is developing a crush on the mortal woman who he's been trying to woo to break a curse on himself #and she is not at all wooed despite his best efforts #Like. At all.#His plan to break the curse has backfired horribly.#Oh “Lady Killer in Love” trope how I love thee #stuff by sofie #The Name-Oath #fae folk #fae #faecore #fae romance #fantasy romance

@beatingheart-bride

In a flash, June and Randall were upon the vampire, pining her wrists to the ground as she writhed and screeched and kicked, refusing to go down easily. However, the mortals' adrenaline, combined with Emily's own vampiric strength and determination, overrode her efforts to get free, her soulless eyes widening as Wilhelm rushed over, stake and hammer in hand.

Holding the stake right over the heart, Wilhelm was about raise the hammer and bring it down, but he had a moment of hesitation-not because he felt any sort of guilt or pity for this monster who had so brazenly come after his family...

...but because he felt like the wrong person to do the staking.

"Here, lass," he said firmly, holding the hammer out to Emily as he held the stake for her, keeping it hovering above Constance's heart. Considering all that this woman-this creature of the night-had done to Emily, the absolute hell she'd put her through for centuries, it seemed only fair that she be the one to put Constance down for good.

"You...you do the honors."

#((i feel like elizabeth could cast some sort of spell that would make him effectively immortal))#((allowing him to live through the centuries with her and their friends-similarly; i was also kinda thinking))#((just to keep the supernatural/mortal romance going; beau is with little leota; a witch))#((and she's made him into her familiar; able to change between a black cat and a human))#((and through her magic she's able to keep him effectively immortal as well; allowing all of them))#((to face the future together as their own little found family!))#((and i love that idea too! dorian is totally a bleeding heart; he's not content to just horde his wealth; sit on it))#((he's always keen to help others if he possibly can; and so i could absolutely see him opening his doors))#((to any and all wayward supernatural beings in need of a place to stay-a place where they feel like they belong!))#((and big same! this has been a wonderful and wild ride of an rp; it's been a joy to write and explore))#((and i really think there is a LOT of potential for further exploration!))#((i think much like au's like 'phantasm of the mansion' and 'family reunion'))#((there's a lot of potential for more stories to be told in this universe; and i look forward to seeing them!))#outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Dark Shadows

i went to look in the noragami tag and saw yato ends up kissing hiyori, so i guess i am dodging a bullet

#personal #STAY AWAY FROM THE MINOR!!#again it makes me think of trigun 98 and im glad meryl's not a teen girl #there was some manga that's like a mix of from far away and trigun called im/mortal ra/in but it has that same ancient god #(that looks like he's in his early 20s) romantically involved w a teen girl and its so 🙄#w those types of stories i probably wouldnt have thought anything of it as a 13 y/o but as an adult its impossible to ignore #it is and isnt a heterosexual thing but its also frustrating romantic love is the only expression in those situations #we cant show anything else..?

AU where bc of Diluc’s mother being Hexenzirkel and him and Kaeya’s fates being intertwined as a result of that and Kae’s family being Abyss Order-affiliated, Murata’s spirit clung to Diluc to further prepare him for the inevitable Final Battle and kept trying to warn him about the fact that he and Kaeya might very well be fated enemies in the end as well as of who Kae truly WAS and—

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. );#//I have been inspo’d by my favorite Kae line. As well as listening to MyGood.Bye from the Epic musical thing #//And I do love me the idea of Murata being like #//The Athena to Luc’s Odysseus #//Love the idea of Diluc staunchly defending Kae to her again and again; REFUSING to listen why Murata would consider him dangerous #//Never ONCE letting her get a word in edgewise; not even in dreams until she gives up #//And her having decided to let him learn ‘the hard way’ as such #//And the rest is history #//Imagine if in that case; Dawn hurtling at Kae was in fact Murata briefly taking over bc of Luc’s rage. Or even directly influenced him to #//Only for the Tsaritsa to intervene bc of how badly she wants Celestia to fall; & what role Kae could possibly play in it #//Bruh; if My Goodbye could be like #//When Luc chooses to reject his Vision; esp if he chooses to help Kae get help bc he regrets hurting him and is still reeling over Crepus #//Would The Confrontation make Luc and Kae’s song then be like #//Ig Mutiny or Done for from the same project?#//Prolly Mutiny; tbh #//I do like that; esp with Luc being alluded to have mercy killed Crepus; if I recall correct #//Anywho; overall staying true to Gods screwing over mortals for their own agendas as per usual #//It’s be fun to me if Kae ended up getting like #//Either HELLA nightmares bc of Murata after holding into Luc’s Vision #//Or her getting to see what she fucked up in seeing Kae having made up his mind to try and defy his fate #//Meanwhile the Tsaritsa is out giving Diluc the Poseidon to Odysseus treatment fjdbb #plot ideas #;save #//Adding this to the list of things I would write if I had spoons djdbdb

Honestly, I think from the moment that Percy found out that not every demigod has a loving mortal parent they can depend on, when they already can't depend on the gods, and that Annabeth specifically, hasn't had anyone take care of her like that since she was 7, he decided he would be the one to.

They take care of each other up to that point, but I think that's when he starts noticing how much she takes care of them. She already knew if she didn't no one else will. She protects them against humans, she stands with them against monsters, she always brings up the rear of the group when they're running, and she is always the first one to make a move when they're fighting. She does it because no one is going to protect her if she doesn't do it herself. No one is going to protect Grover and Percy if she isn't.

In the arch, he pretty much tells her he would fight the gods for her, and then he goes on to do just that.

Athena, the one person who was supposed to protect her willingly pushes monsters her way, she lets Echidna and the chimera into a place that was supposed to be safe. Her decision is that Annabeth should be punished, and say what you want, but I think she knew that Annabeth would think through every scenario and know that someone had to stay and hold them back. And I think she knew that Annabeth would be the one to stay. Because that's the way she raised her, knowing that no one cared whether she lived or died. And I think that's the cruellest part.

Which is why Percy's sacrifice means so much more. He not only made the decision to trade his life for hers and fight the monster so she and Grover could escape, but he also made the conscious choice to push back against Athena's wishes. He fought a goddess for her, Athena said "Annabeth will die for her impertinence" and Percy said "Not today, not ever"

#what if i sobbed #what if i jumped out a window #what if i fell out of a hole in the top of the arch #they're in love #they're healing #THEY"RE HEALING #percabeth #annabeth chase #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #the lightning thief #pjo #pjo tv show #walker scobell #leah sava jeffries #pjo tv series #episode 4

Sea Cryptic! Danny AU- Pt.3

[Pt.1] [Pt.2] [Pt.4][Pt.5][Pt.6][Pt.7]

“Aquaman.” Batman swept into the room, beelining straight for the suddenly apprehensive Atlantean king.

“Batman. What can I do for you?”

“Phantom. Does he pay taxes?”

“Pardon?”

Batman makes a low noise that had Aquaman’s danger senses buzzing.

“Does Phantom have to pay taxes. Towards Atlantis.”

“No…? Why?”

“He wanted money, in exchange for… information, of a delicate sort,” Batman said, diplomatically avoiding the topic of Phantom bargaining for the identities of corpses in exchange for a measly $100 dollars per identity. Like a flea market dealer, that one was.

“You encountered Phantom again?” Aquaman perked up.

“Yes. Gotham’s bay is… polluted.” Batman paused. “With victims. Of murder.”

The entire area quieted as heads turned towards the Dark Knight.

“Yes, I am… distantly aware of Gotham’s waters.” By that, Aquaman gets green around the gills whenever he turns his awareness in that direction. There’s a reason he doesn’t enter Gotham, and the Dark Knight’s ban is only half of that reason. “Ah, but you’re correct. For what purpose would Phantom need mortal currency?”

“Hn.”

“Maybe he needs some stuff?” Flash zipped to a stop next to Batman, feet tapping as he dug into the pile of snacks cradled in his arms. “Us mortals are always coming up with new things, maybe he wants to try some games or something?”

Batman tilted his head down, seriously considering Flash’s suggestion. “It’s plausible.”

“Barry, Barry, Barry. He’s old as hell, right? He probably wants to try the new booze!”

“Hal, my man!” Flash fist bumped Green Lantern, who came up. “You’re back! What happened to John?”

“Dunno. He got called somewhere that way,” Green Lantern waved a vague hand towards the left. “Had to deal with a politician or something from that area.” He shrugged, swinging an arm over Barry’s shoulders to put him in a headlock and stealing a chip.

“Huh. Anyways, would our mortal alcohol even work on a demi-god or something?”

“We should ask!” Hal turned towards Batman. “You should ask if he wants to go for a drink, spooky!”

“He’s a child.”

“He’s been around for more than a millennia, Bats.”

“Informational gathering, right, Hal?” Flashgot out of the headlock, quickly munching on his snacks to stop Green Lantern from stealing them.

“Totally. Yup.”

“…Fine.”

“Wait, are we just gonna ignore that Gotham’s waters are full of bodies?”

“Yes.”

——

“What?” Danny asked, mind half on the bags he’s dragging out of the water and the other half on the essay he has to submit in about four hours.

“Green Lantern wanted to invite you out for a drink.”

Danny turned to the stoic Gotham knight, who had his wrist computer out to log the bodies’ info the moment Danny gave him the information. Some of them even told Danny who murdered them, so Batman could start building cases with solid leads.

Danny’s only twenty. He’s not legal yet but he doesn’t want to give any clues to who he is. How is he supposed to…

Ah!

“Can’t.” Danny shrugged. “I’m not legal. I died when I was fourteen so…” Danny trailed off, speechless at the drowned puppy face Batman was giving him. What the fuck.

“Anyways, fork over my payment.”

Batman wordlessly hands him a wad of hundreds.

“What do you need cash for?” Batman suddenly asked.

“Huh? Isn’t it obvious?” Danny tucked it in. “Material things, obviously. I need a blanket,” because holy shit, Gotham is damn cold this time of year. “Anyways, see you same time next week, litterer.”

“I don’t litter.”

“Tell that to the batarangs I found under the water,” Danny grumbled. “But I’ll stop calling you that if you get a signature from Poison Ivy. I have a friend who loves her.”

“An alive friend?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know, weatherboy?”

Danny snickered and disappeared. He’s gotta cram that essay.

——

“There’s a possibility Phantom might be homeless.”

“Batman, I mean this in the nicest way, but for the love of Atlantis, please stop giving me headaches. It’s time like these I wish I stayed a lighthouse keeper.”

I think the dead mother / reluctant father figure trope is way too oversaturated when it comes to coming-of-age hero epics.

It's always the father who stepped up but never the mother who stayed.

I just love when a camper tells Percy that demigods can burn their favorite food as offering to their godly parent so they can be heard and he burns the blue candy Sally got him to pray to his mortal mom.

He really was like god of the seas or no, he's a deadbeat.

My human mom would NEVER.

Sally Jackson you truly are singular 💖

Riz has spent this whole season, struggling so much and trying so hard to squeeze blood from a stone, to be in a dozen places at once, to stay afloat, to secure his future, to save the world (again), barely having time to spend with his mom and literally having to be in hell so he can have a few blessed minutes to chat with his murdered father about work (which yes, is an act of love when a Gukgak is doing it but God, he's so tired).

And Kipperlilly is watching this kid, who is taking stress tokens for his friends even though he's at capacity himself, whose blood is more coffee than anything else at this point because you can't solve problems when you're asleep, who signed up for an exam with a 100% mortality rate for lack of other viable options, and saying to herself, "You lucky bastard. It's not fair."
