Gravedigger's Mania
Emily was about to commit a great sin, but it was the lesser one that she worried about. Her hands shook as she listened to the low clacking of a cane on cobblestones. No one knew her quarry was here; the dhampir liked to move quietly. It kept the assassins away. That was good; she could ill afford witnesses or black knights asking questions. Emily was about to commit a great sin and a lesser one.
 
She held up a picture blurred from the glare of a low lamplight. That was the problem with being a vampire; even the lowest light cast a horrible glare. Her brother was the only one she made out in the picture.
 
It was ok; she barely remembered her parents anymore. At 8, she was turned, and she only aged half the speed each year until she turned 16. That was her problem; she looked so young compared to her aging brother. He might have been 30, but she didn’t like to count. It was embarrassing, 30 years old, and classless. Vincent didn’t use a spell like false data to fool spies like she did. Her brother’s attributes were so low he couldn’t see much of her stats.
 
The clacking was growing closer. Resneck shouldn’t be here. They both knew he was responsible for her brother’s team of gravediggers. Something always went wrong, and it was up to a powerful Dhampir like Reseneck to handle it. Every day sleds of corpses were taken to be buried to purify the graveyard with negative energy. It was the only way her brother could make enough money to keep her alive.
 
Or that was what he thought. The fool thought Emily was helpless. By the time Emily was 15 in the new life, she had already fed off another turned. It was a practice considered forbidden.
 
The door to the room opened, and Resneck entered all smiles. The fool always appeared confident with his rapier at his hip and crossbow at his side. Of course, no one would fight a lvl50 dhampir. A vampire especially wouldn’t challenge them under the sun.
 
At Emily’s meager lvl20, she was no match for Resneck, especially under the sunlight. He was confident enough to come to her home on the poor side of town without bodyguards. Normally a dhampir of the family would have an endless entourage. Still, lately, Resnick had taken to radical claims about the godless theocracy. He had a view on humans that the true vampires didn’t like. But, as one of the voting powers of the republic, the Camazotz couldn’t afford to look weak. So they took their protections away. Someone would have pounced. Emily was only the first.
 
She poured him a cup of tea as the dhampir took his wide-brimmed hat off and placed it on a dusty wooden wrack.
 
“It has been some time since we met. I believe 20 years, by my guess.” Resneck said.
 
Emily sucked on her teeth. She should have expected an insult from the start. Her brother was her greatest pride and shame. It would be better if they parted ways, but the fool was too devoted for his own good. She didn’t need his help. He couldn’t see it. Vincent, the lvl0 classless gravedigger, was the talk of many as his sister; her status was lower than dirt.
 
“We are forever grateful for your magnanimity. Offering a boy of 10 a dangerous job like a gravedigger was quite daring. Some would say you did it more for amusement than charity.”
 
“It's hardly charity. Vincent does good work and hasn’t died in 20 years. If only the boy didn’t have such sticky fingers. Has he saved up enough to give you a hunting tag?”
 
Emily watched the man sip his tea and smirked on the inside. The poison was already taking effect. The purple petals lightly fell from a flower on the table half fallen. It really was amazing how gullible Resnick had been.
 
“Are you expecting something to happen? I noticed you haven’t touched your tea.” Resneck said.
 
Emily smiled and tapped her foot.
 
“How much do you think your original amulet sold for? My big brother has such sticky fingers.”
 
She plucked a violet petal from the rose in the center of the room. Resneck tried to stand but failed to move. His body shook as he tried to hoist himself up on the cane. Emily kicked it, snapping the stick the dhampir had once beaten her brother with until he couldn’t stand. The offending instrument collapsed with the man, never to harm anyone again.
 
“Do you smell that pollen? It's called Nina, after a long-dead princess of the night. It weakens the powers of those unused to its effects. Much like a vampire in the day, you are quite powerless. Fortunately, I developed an immunity to the pollen. It took nearly a decade to become immune.”
 
She approached the beautiful man with dark curls framing his face. Emily grabbed a great handful of Resneck’s luscious hair and yanked him up. She felt her fangs extend and bit the man’s neck. This was the sin Emily had longed to commit, an act of treason that would set her free. At last, she fed from a member of the Camazotz and gained power.
 
A large family like the Camazotz eventually isolated itself and let its prominent members wilt on the vine. It was glorious and terrible. She drank until the dhampir’s heart pittered out and stopped. The body didn’t turn to ash or something silly like that. No, it remained a very dead heavy body, but fortunately, as a vampire, her strength was immense. She took it to a preprepared room filled with rats.
 
She had taken her time and considered what she wanted to use to dispose of the body. Rats were the best she could come up with. So Emily tossed the body to the rats and watched them swarm the fresh meat.
 
The camazotz's blood empowered her more than ever, and she basked in the feeling of superiority. Then reality set in. She used the spell glamour and false data to transform her status page into a copy of Resneck Camazotz. For a decade, she had invited him to tea and studied the man. Every insult had been worth it; the man hadn’t suspected she would bypass his defenses. The idea of a weak turned like her below level 10 managing to harm him was laughable.
 
She unveiled her second sin from under the blanket on her bed. In her bed was a girl who looked like her, altered with a glamour and drained dry by Resnik’s fangs. This was the minor sin she had dreaded. To have a clean break and give both herself and her brother a chance to move on, she had to die for him. He would hate her and bang his fists on the ground, but at the end of the day, Vincent would move on and find happiness.

All About the Goblins
Tumblr media
In the whimsical yet slightly neurotic world that is my Tumblr, I'm embarking on a series most peculiar, one that delves into the lives, loves, and lamentable laundry habits of goblins. Yes, goblins - those misunderstood, often malodorous denizens of places we'd rather not visit after dark (or even in broad daylight, to be perfectly honest).
Each post will be a foray into the goblin psyche, which is as convoluted as a maze designed by a particularly sadistic architect with a penchant for Escher prints and Kafka novels. We'll explore the intricacies of goblin social etiquette, which primarily involves not eating one's dinner guest, and the complexities of their economy, which is largely based on the barter system, shiny objects, and the occasional mildly cursed artifact.
Expect tales of goblin romance, as fraught and passionate as any Shakespearean drama, but with more warts and a significantly higher risk of accidental poisoning. We'll meet goblins who are poets, philosophers (albeit of a rather gloomy disposition), and even a few who fancy themselves as chefs, though their definition of 'haute cuisine' might make the average person opt for a prolonged fast.
So, grab your metaphorical torch and pitchfork (or actual ones, if you're feeling particularly adventurous) and join me on this journey. It promises to be erratic, occasionally eerie, and possibly educational, but I guarantee it will at least be more entertaining than watching paint dry - unless it's goblin paint, which has a tendency to scream as it dries. Stay tuned, dear reader, for our first foray into the world of goblins - creatures who remind us that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes the beholder just needs a good optometrist.

sometimes i feel so connected to baba jaga, the slavic wild woman, living deep in bewitched forests🌲🌾 she’s so feared and scary in the open land but also seems to have such a maternal, caring side. i feel like her hut would reflect her warmth, firelight flickering in the windows and moss growing up the walls, the strange legs a warning that you’re dealing with something deeply magical not quite out of this world 🌙 • • • • • • #babajaga #babayaga #babayagashut #forest #folklore #witch #witchy #magicalcreatures #magical #magic #witchcraft #whimsical #spooky #whimsicalart #gouache #aquarelle #watercolor #witchaesthetic #halloween #fallcolors #october https://www.instagram.com/p/CkPRbrQvkgW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What up, Dicefolk nation. It's your boy, me.
Dicefolk is a deck-builder game. If you're unfamiliar, a deck-builder game is a game where you "build" a "deck of cards" like you would in Magic The Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh. But the "deck" isn't always cards and flavor text, sometimes - like in Dicefolk - it just means building a team of fun lil' guys.
In Dicefolk, each Chimera has their own strengths and weaknesses, some of them even have special moves that cause status effects that can either help your team or hurt your enemies, or both.
You can ALSO upgrade your Chimera as you see fit! Give them a bigger inventory, outfit them with precious artifacts that synergize with their abilities to hit harder or defend, uhh, harder.
In any case, I want to introduce you to today's Chimera: LYCANIS!
Lycanis is a strong early-game Chimera you can recruit with a decently-high base damage, although they are not quite as resilient to attacks as like, Armorado.
Who is Armorado? We'll get into that next week.
Please wishlist us on Steam, would ya? It would be super cool of you to do that.

Magical Creatures Masterlist
come alive and bring the thunder (ao3) - merlypops michael/luke E, 36k
Summary: Prince Luke of the Faeries is forced to marry King Michael after a War between kingdoms threatens to tear their lives apart… and maybe Luke and Michael fall in love too. Maybe.
Fish food (ao3) - drummer_boy G, 1k
Summary: Mermen aren't too common around school, and though Luke expected weird questions, he certainly didn't expect this.
I'm Not Being Me (ao3) - NarryEm michael/calum E, 1k
Summary: Michael is a creature of the night and Calum is unaware of it. When they meet outside a dingy club, they decide to spend the night together.
in the jaws of the beast (ao3) - mockturtletale OT4 E, 17k
Summary: “You also drink blood now,” Luke points out.
“Like, exclusively,” Calum adds, looking down at the remnants of the hot dogs the rest of them had for lunch like he’s in mourning.
in the sickness of you, i'm just a white blood cell (ao3) - lucasfletcher luke/ashton T, 3k
Summary: It sounds something like sucking your blood until your heart stops beating and Ashton snickers quietly at that, glancing at Luke.
“What now?” he sighs, feeling Ashton’s gaze, and before Luke can turn his head, he quickly retreats to staring out of the window.
“It’s just... kind of fitting, isn’t it?” he mumbles, suddenly feeling self-conscious, the weight of Luke’s gaze pinning him to his seat, “the song, I mean.”
“Not really,” his words are underlined with something Ashton can’t quite decipher. “It’s not funny or fitting for that matter, Ashton. I could truly hurt you. Especially now.”
Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? (ao3) - drummer_boy G, 2k
Summary: A Dragon having a crush on a Merman is just asking for trouble, but things turn out surpisingly well when they go camping with a couple friends.
It's Not Easy To Be Me (ao3) - insideimasadrainbow luke/calum, michael/ashton, michael/calum, calum/ashton E, 3k
Summary: It's not easy being in a band and it's definitely not easy being in a band when you're the only human and your band mates are vampires.
Let Me Play Among the Stars (ao3) - gravityinglass michael/calum G, 4k
Summary: Michael always had a goddamn unfair advantage, Calum thought. He’d practically been raised to this, and he always rubbed it in whenever he won and the rest of them were still struggling through the course.
“Fuck you, Michael,” he yelled, as Michael sailed past the row of trees they’d chosen for their finishing line. “Fuck you too, Marziale!”
Michael just smiled and waved, he and his dragon doing loop de loops in celebration. Marziale threw her head back and roared, flapping her large blue wings.
“Bloody dragon-born,” Ashton called. He and Aria were struggling through the rock-pillar weave. Tight turns were never their strength. “I vote we disqualify him next time.”
--
Or, 5 Seconds of Summer are dragonriders on patrol.
Like the Ocean Finds the Shore (ao3) - Cliffordiste (cliffordiste) michael/luke G, 71k
Summary: Luke is content living his normal life, sharing his little world with his best friend Calum. Nothing even remotely curious or interesting ever happens to him. Then he discovers an under-the-surface secret about a kid from his class named Michael and a whole hidden world is revealed to him. He is catapulted into a friendship and has to put up with Michael and his stupid blue hair, slowly discovering that not everything is as it seems.
Mermen in Melbourne (ao3) - awfuldaycupcake michael/harry, michael/ashton T, 14k
Summary: When it comes to relationships, Michael Clifford's type is human. Definitely not cannibal mermaids (er, mermen,) who kidnap him while he's just trying to go fishing. No, he's not really a big fan of that at all.
Mermaids (wattpad) - pigletmichael luke/ashton
Summary: "So you don't have a willy?"
No Place Like Home (ao3) - malumqt (bunwuji) luke/ashton, michael/calum N/R, 7k

Silver and Gold (ao3) - orphan_account michael/calum, side luke/ashton E, 40k
Summary: Michael was convinced he was normal. Until, he realized that he was as far from normal as possible. Thrust into a world he'd been forced to forget with powers he doesn't want, Michael is forced to figure out that being the Savior isn't all its cracked up to be, especially when every creature he didn't know existed is counting on his to win a long fought war. But, with a cute , not entirely human boy and two kickass Valkyries, Michael might just be able to save the world and get the boy. (Considering people stop trying to kill him first.)
The Fire You Put Me Through Turned Me Into Gold (ao3) - DismantledSun michael/luke, implied calum/ashton N/R, 88k
Summary: a medieval au in which Luke is the king, and Michael is the worthy man selected to conquer the dragon plaguing the kingdom
They Say We Are What We Are But We Don't Have To Be (ao3) - lukey_irwie luke/ashton G, 21k
Summary: Luke is fairly adjusted to his life as a vampire and he actually really enjoys it, however one night hunters attack his clan's lair. But what if instead of killing him, one of the hunter's decides to spare his life, and what if Luke falls for him.
Or the one where Ashton is a monster hunter and can't seem bring himself to be able to kill this really cute blonde vampire.
Where the Water Meets the Sky (ao3) - guyi (orphan_account) luke/calum G, 11k
Summary: Calum looks down at where their fingers are interlocked and then back up at Luke. He wears a smile on his face and his eyes glisten in the sun. His hair is wet and it’s dripping down the sides of his face. Calum loves this, loves seeing Luke in all of his natural beauty in the sun. Loves spending time with him even though he shouldn’t. He loves every second of it, up until the minute he has to go back underwater.
or, Calum is a merman and Luke is a human. They fall in love.

The Spell of Binding
Tumblr media
Once a powerful wizard, now an old man, Archibald sighed as he gazed upon his kingdom, now in ruins. He had summoned the elementals too often, using them as mere tools, never considering the consequences of his actions. He now understood the cost of such power and knew he had to make amends.
He locked himself in his tower, searching for the spell to bind the elementals. After many months of searching, he found it. He recited the incantation, his voice growing louder with each word. The room began to shake and the elements themselves responded, forming in front of him.
The air elemental was the first to appear, a funneling cloud of whirling air, but Archibald was ready. With a wave of his hand, he forced the elemental into a bound form, shaping it into a protective shield for his kingdom.
The earth elemental came next, a walking hill, but Archibald was ready. With another wave of his hand, he forced the elemental into a bound form, shaping it into a protector of the kingdom's crops.
The fire elemental was the most dangerous of them all, but Archibald was ready. With a flick of his wrist, he forced the elemental into a bound form, shaping it into a source of warmth and light for the kingdom.
Finally, the water elemental appeared, a cresting wave, but Archibald was ready. With a nod of his head, he forced the elemental into a bound form, shaping it into a source of life-giving water for the kingdom.
Archibald's eyes glimmered with satisfaction as he gazed upon the kingdom, now protected by the elementals. He had made amends, using his power for good, and ensuring that the elementals would never again wreak havoc upon the kingdom.

The werewolf of Vaud, Susanne Prevost: . On April 22, 1602, three women were brought before the courts charged with witchcraft and werewolfery, all from the small south western town of vaud. Susanne Prevost and her fellow accused, Michée Bauloz and Jeanne de la Pierre, were said to be witches who had met with the devil. He had given them a secret recipe, made from disgusting things such as the fat of a hanged man and the blood of children, which they then rubbed on their bodies to change them into vicious werewolves. In this form they attacked several people, including a young child whom they ate completely, apart from the right hand. Although Michée Bauloz and Jeanne de la Pierre were only charged with kidnapping the boy, all three were charged with eating him. The other two claimed that Suzanne Prevost was their leader and had brought them to meet the devil, who was her master. According to legend, she was declared to have been a werewolf for a longtime beforehand and may have been responsible for many other killings. What became of the three was unknown. .

Some HP related (fan)art made for @leakycon! ✨🦉🔮✨ Having been an HP fan for ages since I grew up with the books, I haven’t actually made much fan art of it since getting older. It was nostalgic drawing the creatures I spent all my time doodling in middle school again. 🦄✨ ⚡️🪶🌙 Disclaimer again that even though I love this piece of fiction, I do not share the hurtful & problematic views of the author 😑👎. * * * #kelschoo #kookookchoo #kelseychoo #fanart #harrypotterart #magicalcreatures #unicorn #leakycon #denverleakycon https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjvr-ZmO_KT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
