phoenixiancrystallist asked:

Drabble prompt: Frey teaching Olevia how to ice skate :)

we're doing full-on Olevia Lives!AU because i said so. Frey rushed off to deal with Sila and only thought Olevia was gone, came back to find her healed and healthy. i love playing God in this way. this one got a little bit away from me

Olevia watched Frey, doubt twisting her features adorably. Frey felt a little like she was looking at herself as she had been at that age. She held out her hand to the girl, careful not to slip on the ice. "Would you just trust me?" she asked. She had been cajoling, wheedling, all but begging for damn near 20 minutes and all she had to show for it was Olevia standing at the very edge of the frozen pond.

"What if I fall in?" Olevia asked for the tenth time.

"I'll rescue you."

"What if you fall in?"

"Then I guess you'll need a new Tanta," she teased, laughing outright when Olevia put her fists on her hips.

"Stop tormenting the child," Cuff chided but sounded amused himself.

Frey reached out her hand again. Olevia, her mouth still pursed with anxiety, reached back. She closed her eyes when her skates hit ice, clinging fiercely to Frey's fingers. "Well, you didn't fall immediately so you're doing better than I did at first," Frey told her and Olevia hesitantly opened her eyes. "Look at you, standing on frozen water with knives on your feet. Brave girl."

"I'm not brave, I'm still scared," she said, flinging her arms out for Frey's shoulders when her feet slipped further apart.

"Being brave doesn't mean not being scared. Hell, I'm terrified all the time. But you can always know that I've got your back. I'm here for when you get scared. I can't do everything for you but I can make it just a little bit easier."

"Ok…" Olevia took a deep breath. "Can I try moving? But slow."

Frey wasn't particularly good at skating backwards so slow was fine with her as Olevia got used to sliding her feet over the ice. As they moved, she told Olevia how she had learned to skate, though she didn't really bother to explain YMCA or Big Brothers Big Sisters, only that she had learned from an older girl who had held her hands just like this. "I started with a chair," she said. "First time I fell, I tried to catch myself on the chair and just pulled it down on top of me. Ended up with a bruise on my hip from the ice and another one on my arm from the chair." Olevia giggled, looking as relaxed as Frey had seen her all day.

"My ankles hurt," she said eventually. "Can we sit down?"

Frey led her over to the snow-covered shore, both of them sitting down heavily. "When we get home, you'll need dry clothes. Auden will murder me if you get pneumonia on my watch."

"I can help you be brave against Auden," Olevia said, grinning at her. "I know you're scared of her."

"Oh, ha ha. You're so funny."

Frey looked over the pale expanse of ice. It likely wouldn't last and she would be leaving in a few days to head back to Visoria, looking for a needle in the stack of needles that was Olas's library. There had to be some way to fix the Break. There had to be some way she could let Olevia see life outside of Cipal.

She startled when Olevia slipped freezing fingers into her own.

"Who helps you be brave?" the girl asked quietly. "When you're out there alone? When you're in the Corruption?"

That was both a difficult question and a very easy one. "I…" Frey started and then sighed. "I don't feel alone out there. I always feel like… like someone has my back like I have yours. And I know that you and Auden are here, safe, and taking care of each other so I don't have to worry about you."

"Who has your back?" Olevia looked up at her with guileless eyes. "Someone keeps you safe?"

It was getting harder and harder to keep this secret from her, especially since the girl had moved in with her and both of them had relocated to an actual home, not a hole-studded room above the tavern. Frey was building a life now and the secrets were starting to get to her. But once she let this particular cat out of the bag, she wasn't sure where it would jump. "It's complicated. I'm not sure how to explain it to you yet."

"But you will?"

"I promise. I'm not going anywhere. I'll figure it out."

"Good." Olevia flung an arm around Frey's middle. "Can I take these off now?"

Frey laughed, something she had been doing more and more of lately. "Yeah, kiddo. Let's get you home."

Later that night, after Olevia had fallen asleep at the table and Frey had carried her to bed, Cuff nudged her, light tripping over his surface in a way that she still found deeply beautiful. "You're going to tell her about me, aren't you?"

"I don't think I can avoid it for much longer."

"Do you think that's a good idea?"

Frey sighed heavily, leaning back in her chair. "I don't know. All I know is that it's getting harder to keep them separate, the life I have with you out there and the life I have with her here. They're crashing together and there's not a whole lot I can do to stop it."

"And you think that telling her will limit the fallout?"

"I don't know. I don't have any answers for you."

"What if she tells people?"

"I don't know," Frey said, running agitated hands through her hair. "Fuck. I don't know how to do this." She shook her head. "I keep thinking about my mom. About her sending me away to keep me safe. There's nowhere for me to send Olevia."

"To keep her safe from me, you mean," Cuff said simply, flatly, but something in his tone caught her.

"You're a threat to all Athia, remember? That's what you keep telling me. Why should one girl stop you?"

She felt a bolt of something, as sudden and painful as a lightning strike, through the bond and then it was gone, the connection between them slammed firmly shut.

"You're right. What's one girl in the face of duty and responsibility?"

"Everything," Frey told him and something in him answered in kind.

you're the only person I've ever heard talk about forspoken. your passion for it actually has me really intrigued to try the game even though it had never interested me just by looking at it :D

Oh, I'm not the only one!

There's @flyingwide and @phoenixiancrystallist and @mistress-light and others whom I don't know as well, so I can't spell their names off the top of my head.

There aren't many of us, but we are dedicated and passionate! It's a lovely game with so many facets to explore; I strongly recommend giving it a chance if you can 😊

I got inspired by @phoenixiancrystallist and @cruelfeline to draw a bit more Forspoken! This is another AU design that popped into my head where Susurrus was better contained and Frey was born and raised in Athia. She actually pulls his consciousness out of Cinta when she's born, but is still more naturally adapted to containing him.

In this setting she obviously learns more from her mother, gaining better swordfighting ability and the Junoon royal fashion.

She does eventually (willingly) reabsorb all of his pieces when she becomes an adult. Until then, the newly-freed Cinta helps the other Tantas manage their piece of Cuff, a nickname Frey now gives him after seeing his more artificial forms on her aunties :>

And yes Bird!Cuff is still around. Because of course he is.

blargh, i hate AI art, and that I accidentally reblog it sometimes.

If anyone notices I have, please let me know? @phoenixiancrystallist did earlier, and I appreciate it SO MUCH.

I'm not much of an artist myself, because I haven't taken the time to become one, and I admire the hell out of the discipline and effort of people who have. Sure there are ideas in my head I'd love to see, but that's why I commission amazing artists like @wombywoo, @this-is-ske, or @justisaisfine or one of the hundreds of other REAL PEOPLE who make amazing things come to life from nothing. I just wish I was independently wealthy enough to do it more often!

Using a blender full of stolen work to fake it is not making art, and I hate how much it's spread and how many people are using it.

So yeah. Let me know if you spot it here, so I can delete it ASAP.

#fuck ai art

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Thanks for tagging me, @joy-4-joy! I have written nothing these past few weeks for DC so I cannot do the WIP ones, but these I can T_T

Are you named after anyone? My middle names yes. Named after my mother's aunts. I have a long name, my mum had a lot of aunties... When was the last time you cried? I cannot remember! Oh that's a good sign isn't it. Months and months ago I suppose. I think maybe it was back in September. I was forcing myself to try dating and I had a bit of a panic attack. He cancelled on me anyway so... relief. Do you have kids? Nope! Do you use sarcasm a lot? Not often and not well. Not very British of me I suppose. What sports do you play/have played? I am a good swimmer and am... decent... at badminton. I'm okay at cycling too. What's the first thing you notice about someone? Their clothes. I admit. I judge. What's your eye color? Blue! Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings :D I have no skill for fear. Any special talents? I am very organised... I can bend my thumb back to touch my wrists??? I am never late? :D Where were you born? London in a hospital 4 weeks early. I wanted out, clearly. Jaundice and radioactive tubs for my first month! What are your hobbies? Cross-stitching, writing... I am a bit of a foodie too, if that counts. I like my video games - though I suppose quite a narrow selection. Do you have pets? Never in my life! I really want a cat though. I want an old sleepy cat who I can call Crumpet. Life's ambition right there. How tall are you? 5ft 7", or 172cm. Favorite subject in school? History which is linked to below as... Dream job? Archivist. Which is what I am. Woot woot!

Gosh 15 is a lot. Sorry lads!!!

@nuclearwintercoat @dragonictitan @phoenixiancrystallist @thatrandombystander @shewhotellsstories @mrsmarymorstan @thatblondeperson @bitimdrake @clubolive @stephaniesdrake @trafficlightchild @mollyhats @pig-wings @bim-mba @sarahreadstoomanycomics

I deeply appreciate the writing duality in this specific little corner of thr Forspoken fandom.

On the one side, you have @phoenixiancrystallist cheerfully collecting WIPs.

And on the other, you have @flyingwide making every post sound like a threat to me personally.

#i say this with all of the fandom love y'all are magnificent
