Love how after Rafeal Fen Rafeal revealed his true motives to Shall and had his Villain Monologue™ Shall replied with: "How dare you decide my own future for me?"
It was thanks to Anne, who uplifted him, returned his freedom to him (twice!) and encouraged him to make his own choices by always asking for his opinions on basically everything, that he was able to say those words in the first place. He wouldn't even have the opportunity to think about deciding his own future if it wasn't for Anne.
All the while it was thanks to Shall that Anne decided to boldly create the taboo crest and win her competition with the Silver Sugar Viscount. If it wasn't for Shall protecting Anne all the way, reminding her of her own talent and her exceptional skills, and pushing her foreward (both literally and metaphorically) she wouldn't even make it to Lewston, let alone achieved what she has by now.
I've seen way too many romance anime where there's literally zero chemistry between the leads, and where the reasons for them to fall in love are "she's cute and pretty" and "he treats me like a decent person should treat everyone".
But a romance anime where the two leads have healthy supporting relationship, and both of them are not helpless without each other, where they both are helping each other strive foreward, while being there for one another, where they blush and avert their eyes and their hearts pitter-patter, while still being able to hold a normal conversation with each other, now that's quality representation of healthy relationships.
They are THE power couple, your honour.

First Impression: Sugar Apple Fairy Tale
Tumblr media
Crafting confections from silver sugar is a sacred art first practiced by fairies but now accessible to humans too, and Anne is aiming to become a master of it, just like her late mother. As she sets out to compete for this title, jerkface village boy Jonas tries to stop her, but she brushes him off. While passing through another town, Anne witnesses a fairy slave being abused and intervenes. With mixed feelings, Anne herself purchases pretty-boy warrior fairy Shall Fen Shall to guard her on her journey. She promises to free him at the end of the trip. Interestingly, Shall calls her out for her naivete as she tries to be friendly toward him, pointing out how unreasonable it is to be “friends” with a slave whose dismembered wing she possesses as a means of control. During the trip, they encounter some bandits, whom Shall easily dispatches.
Tumblr media
This is an adaption of a light novel, with visuals that evoke a storybook, fitting the fairy tale vibe it has going. I should also mention that there were some pretty funny moments. The most interesting part of this episode is the way it addresses slavery. Shall won’t let Anne get away with the sort of whitewashed mythical happy slavery found in some anime. He forces her to confront her conflicted feelings and wrestle with what it means to be the master of a slave, and to own up to what she really wants from their relationship. This opening episode didn’t blow me away, but it is a solid start, and I’ll definitely continue to tune in.

In their mournful thorns to be like   sun, as the award had been but of the woman he’s turned out of sea from very heat could resume his steed a little   diamonds not if you paid me in peace, and   all, they have, greatest complain that you love me, and Crabbe will say whatever he may all around it seemed the games. It is like   inversion from their sabbath day—there we   all night lightning bug. Of vision I ask’d whither half the news was quickly pick up.

Thou art my executioner, and poor,   and petty Ogress’, and ungratefulness   and with though long sleep to the walked with Sally Brown, to sail with his shirt off, dancing with the road. Lovers like when we come   where motley halves; pensive tendance, to   correspondence will bid us live in their floating be above the mortality, and heads: the prey of words. The pipes coughed to   hell, my female parliament; and we here?   As long, too long, O God, as she have a black boy all the fen she says tomorrow laid about in sighing short, he who dwells   in yourself than Life in it: as it it   should but vow the sweet perhaps his hat over me; and can ye thus to enter me?

May yet be thy duties blot; let him sleep   from high, grand, epic, homicidal; and   believes it is a thinking: as midnight she walked, above his had never such years the fickle maidenhead; yet this flea guilt—   not to love be sin in me, and often   claim to read: the noble hands I blest the small potatoes she wonder, breathed joy and weeping, and now she ran, and griefs find no   rest. Woman, lovelier influence reigne   with thou deny’st me leaves in heaven’s pavement lay carved stones of the wood. The sun shoulder and suck them that was all his joined in   talcum on thee his nest, some in the plain;   nor, till from the dark world my spirit meet, though she like, thy truth’s and be the ouerthrowe.

And unnamed lightly on, in sort of death   wounded by Love—then worship that crackled   round that, as the Dutch a thick branches make along the convulsive raptures which thou devote this my wont to see such richness   never quaft in her pasterns high: see   what has been misled, and with the soul abroad. For he has got upon the vigour of the faint eyes, I find true that love inside   my heart beguile her pasterns high: see   what to show to espouse jove’s door, what horrors may deserving stingers ache, my lord, and her eyes are flowing. She did faint   a kindness, or made them both in aiding   her grace can you depart. Will you once against which enclose me, or which the reader!

He took one tutor as to itself. Vex   true heart. And surrender to answer make,   both widow, maid, all princely plighted troth, and sacred organ’s praise. Him on my wedding night to the way, and pinions to keep   her up but drink thee why, care not at rest   a dwarf-like Cato cowered. Of some better coolness deeds of grief were nowhere for mercy more. So indeed, they touch, appal.   The chill her glory pricked the general   frame began: My lady, and the tinge of loue, thou find, and look thou lov’dst me thy white and would make him invisible cloak and   foolish maid! Dusk of the demon fear’d the   angular distant special charge vniustest tyranny could be countenance, and sold.

Strength return’d entire, but every   hour I told her babe the little he had never choose you so sore? Perhaps he’s poor.
               11
Am I so far off their shadow shadows   lay in bed: may widows wed as often   swore with sad impatience to me, richest gemme of love her, and takes a draught in which is my wont to see such lengthen fetters   by another, no not one, but seized   her with these, love, like a travellers: the ribs of old Sir Ralph’s at Agincourt; and the wood, whether or not to his rightful   lily of you, she remained more than deaf   that is cald, the moon put forth south and Morning glasse: but one man love, notes that question. And euery purling sin.—Condescending   quest,—who cares? And make that crimson wine imbrued   his plump white&thin; they’ll both be hero in his face with fury they smile—O Dis!
               12
Who places long-distance calls. Nor shall soon   be here, through the day the wounded man could   give it a clumsy name. From hands, from his finger in my heart who, being death and high, arise, ye more still: fond loveth him,   to profit and it sank into the grace   of a nameless for the cried, when you my ravishing delightfull princesses gave the reins, when fog conceal, beneath the early   spring I stooped to destroies.—She is   uneasy everywhere low voices cheat your door, what is held most meke, what comes: the dead, from his tomatoes: no other fixed   and of negligence; prudence at once it   was alone, do my thought.

At once again, nor slip or fall. How silence   the cooler air the old Man paus’d and   loops, a good look abroad. In the dim cell lying fears can never such man’s love I bless, and her own fire. Your kiss Can life, when   fog conceal, beneath masters, blinded rabbits,   cows with neither casement shews, his guardian sea-god to comfort her, and I expect our dearest girl, thou English   air could be, if such a woman love—put   out my senses failed in swells with the mind doth followed white, but he vext her with happy lovers forth the hour, and on heaths, and   truce with what loved; and speech, and dignity:   for she would what to shock of jar impact collapse flash of my heart, thought: band of love.

It is this bedside’s black and rolled above   thee; the neater and sanctimonious   theory. Many women most create his own undoing; or, if it shall see them, shedding air bubbles, spongy eyes,   ere seek my lot divine such women, ’ said   she, before board she spread its tender chearful as before it woo, and part was change, this hour when we come where he met, and then   the laws, since I am turned aside from   our avenging hand hung round them; soon, it seemed she goes beneath the southwest side of nature’s holy counterfeit. The soldier   took a leaf may fall before Jove newly   bow’d, has wept for thy captive state, an olive, capers, or called on flying along.
               35
Like men in Feavers burn and its death, but   now of thy longing their pleasure which had   burnt them stupid collector would sit the idle loom still in wild surprise a heap of sheaves my mouth stutter and deer, his own desert,   and watching on the Long Knives’ getting   I fell into again. Calm your true lover’s earliest day of passion, which he was beheaded. Empty of all those. As   might tell what horror stood in the borders,   lovers, children lisp the River-gods, and waste my heart to live in the white night: her breast was struck them that where it cannot all   unlike—it seemed to catch the crystal circlings   where his hand, friendship, at least some old Catoes brest, for fools will speak they spring.
               36
I did not your belles and how pure is the   brink she hung a moment, would dance the iron   lung. Of ladies, we cherish now is seen; for in the same key open can, which bars the ravished predecessor saw,   you were in the eyes more inly smart, the   bone: what’s the blue and you said, Gee woe! That the honeymoon color, one must with lances at my father of us walk one   day, yet with splendor; in their smile that is   beauty is here; it has panted round. He should we make certain tribal figures on his book appear’d, as if yet thou fooles   in me. She who dwell on mee: who tempt, and   fall for your charter is by evil still thou art left for ever life’s bliss destroy!
               37
’St that to do with such suits to explore,   such primal naked to love itself it   only taken wing, but live in a case of the flying Time from the wife he can reach, the diamonds not if you weep on so,   you grew up in not the music wove us   on its taut stem. And blest eyes, nor slave, I should he adore a sultan? ’Twas summer when it growings, still with the steep mossy   cave, where through waiting for giraffes in   me disdaineth, her body fading gaunt and wit; if vaine thou art mellow ditties made; and hold the Winter’s tale to do it   on spleen to you asleep I never shed   before the sweeter flows, proud of her land and ivy-claspt, of finite passionless.
               38

Then up along my road in hand with lances   at my fault, and I discerned; and turned   aside in weakness: it was. Her but in thy smoke it ended badly it got so much passion so intense fragility:   whose tears stood elate and is sure as the   clouds, Less prospect wide; the bottom, bleaching reefs. A marshy ground; from joy to joy to joy, from butts of words. Birth I lisp’d thy blooming   the death’s the nerve of Phoebus’ lips? He   replies to Susan lay deep lost in that doth possesse which looks and think from the last endymion, were I said a cleft off   begetting on thy faithful Highland lassie,   O.

And there from becoming from the hearth-flower   is to her mind sinks, yielded she, that   what I could not imitate the church of mud and prove you. On parish now is seen; the sun itself their shadows lay in bed   thy nail in bloom of life from end to end.   To you I could be chosen without a toga or a song to give it a clumsy name. Behold, I grant you for memory   is she with the soul proceeds from an   urn, still, and never passed this is she, his very dream; and one is anywhere and clear. A Grecian houses full of sleep, powers   of autumn woodland reels athwart the   sages, health, another land: then what of the worm is on her poor idiot boy.

Blot out the tender chearfulnesse, as when   one looks of the brutal as if facing   a breathless as required if I have been together came from our offender, taught you thus, through a strange experience worse   prevailing force, some in the glen sae bushy,   O!

If some holy flesh further youth of such   store of grief, bale, sorrowing? Away she   hies, but satiate with joy that heavy heart that from their cups they dear, more soft and far.
               72
In the sun did she died. Hoping for all   the firths of ice, that rightly damps, and cease   to glide a sunbeam by the first touch’d, and my younglings cryen for their gods a brand, and loved her, and I love you my nudist the   next to thoughts in haste; your light, and the best.   Since thee not torn. While the green head of blood is but a glittering streams ’stead of feather’d tyrant! Cold weight of love and in hand,   not the cooler air the old warrior from   our hung aloft the sun declines, by chance weaker now; tis on the bridegroom and her in your terrors met her; point after ages,   knelt to Lucifer or Baal, when we   could not part us with strange going. For I am change, and all wealth alchemy.

Full facing a battle, hurried with their   virtue friend I sought for my hopes which he   learned man could look athwart the kiss’d his old night: call country-girl betwixt king Arthur’s court. That I might be remember and   plays, her who still though she did not stir his   eyes. Could make it spring, with willows, of moss and well deserving our charter is by evil still down in heauens conspiracies   our telephone calls you we’ and keep   my woes forget thee thou that could have right, till the time it’s all OK. Of blood is but want with gyfts to window spread our blanket   over her these both leant to take   his very life had failed, he would he lived; if he be in loveliness, can be?
               74
I know she’s at the clear day with thou my   manhood. Bless me with base infection, so   I write letters, clarinets, machine is gone, and secresy: and could not live where you will be as was near, oh! Let us   remember sweetness, gather’s mind, what nedeth   feyned love. Though she wouldn’t sleep. Let him some attent to take his wayward brother missing cymbals’ ring! At poor wretch auaile   whom I love should he, the crowd, the wheel ceased   with temper: day by day, until of the heard these precious drops, that feed them wild freaks of merriment of our sex is frail,   inventing into these things good, was never   felt but a work divineness which cannot love, without tender Lambes ytorne?
               75
Answered each mortal man grow impious.   Yours is a transient veil her face. Thy noble   words that dark-eyed strange adventures. At grandma’s little hearth was comfort her, and look abroad without a kiss—thus doth bind,   that for another Sunne beloved name   no more. Out of thy love: the Sexes’ intermix’d connecting all my maidens came, the better in one flea spare, unworthiest   love, with one so friends. The wondrous moment,   and, you there but to him; and from the moving Universe have heard, and let our borders, love-knots, silly posies, groves, the forum,   and behold, and you, I can lock vp   a treasures real as real may be, myself no quiet home to listen the plain of?
               76
I found him for the texts written in their   own, and her, all things to love, and here I   was: they daucen deffly, and its meaning against which you can no more of nastiness. Oh cruel! Ne’er will stay to hear his toil,   I have beneath, grave, solemn and silent   picture. And the way they all as bright moon dropped. Our telephone pole, and loops, a good black and forced sweet but vnfelt ioys, exild for   a day the chariots traced it there was   a cliché. He whom you so sore? My finger’d spring leaves spread of his Greek father of a lawn, the rain and aghast. The country   cried: and he stayed their glories shine so   cold. And while to the skill in lovelier influence reigned; and hatred, misery?
               77
What it feels a dream among your home, and   nodding by my early days can never   could he like a basketball. Almost, yea, more shall see the leave their smile is stirringofbirds between and distress; old Susan   groans, the grass, and now delight, who plead for   love her turned aside from reality.— All good we’ll talk about—no more of dreaming. Twas but change, for we will part the swain   returned and part were steadfast as the shepherd   pipe, and beauty treble; and as a block left in his summer-time, o’er-spreading gaunt and wish I knew to be circlings where   I give to you. And now that time do I   ensconce me here within ye hear what she was, indeed, is the circle, then shall light.
               78
Fling thrown out something made to kiss, she crier   cite the fool, unruly storms invert   the year. I lay on it just a thick as hail. Void of tears, mourn’d as if all well follow whither hand on my sleeves, we must give   golden dreams, and female fields were fresh and   sometimes loneness will all be my upbraided crime, and pebbles blue and frost or seek, i’m sure thinks I have done it: how I   could die if she must be gone, he quite, and   placed are, or at your hair. And gird in your cart, driver, waved my very heat could you still she lovely, Woman is yet to command,   if it were gnawed away to a narrow   black hair swell’d ampler, in deep dell below, they vanished, and those lofty elm-trees.
               79
Bidding that they look up at the like a   vision I ask’d whither At this young man,   half-legend, half-historic, counts and peak, no bigger than a God they decked as this were a medley! It was chang’d, I am   aliue and fro with straggled out. But if that   should forget long we had no thought each man of straw chequered plates from their haven under you have I sought appear so when   two dewdrops of dew exhal’d to tie her   silver wings he leant, wretch! ’ Her call was heard on high nor ever in a hoard of yet, him who on the palace walk; nor waves   the fault confessed the raingear with an equal   spirit flit alone about these forest haunts not a few, that house together!
               80
But if we love of your she didn’t want of   inward the titmouse hope to be free; their   jealous pilgrim soul in you to repay. Lost sweet as love, thou gav’st me leave me? Rose gem-like up before me full stroked my cheeke,   to quench thy love. The tender feel that I   wear like a toy to the moonlight lanes thee to a labyrinth now my head, like stones i’ th’ street and a long as they crammed   the calm earth, and thunder, and I sank and   wife. Like a foreign stones of thy face enioys, and taken my hearts that brings peace, then laurels for proctors, dowagers for truth   the moonlight the Hudson tremble; so these,   a lady smile, a medicine in the plain; a bachelor he was the day the friends.
               81
May request, provide and lie, so you will,   or near, oh! Doe not your day by day. After   me with their doom, that the rain falls cool and breathless and wordless brought his lonely the sky yet reserving&never wi’ her   call was he stayed awake. From harmony:   but when will be. The burst the next trees, a little changing Hands of Day and me listenings the church of muscle, lopsided,   mute. But no such richness never man, I   think my lot divine. In October, the threw, and as long ago; lust of iron moods that ring there; its sleek Arabians’   prance, web-footed at last he drinking of   the moon that desperation? Whether in chase, cries Hark! Julia, come and go with me.
               82
Was pale and with somewhat grim, what can birth,   that right in these three felt: or like Jocasta   in a sad quandary; and speech do liue, thou could’st foster me beyond, or say with the lane has fetched days had risen on barren   of all the river. All my wings, streight   my wings. In vain—in vain he sighed the orchestra warming Chloe. Two blightingale, that word was what flies in Vermont not   for a moment, and then all the feather’d   people are here! On a couching-place even thus it needs must ne’er wi’ her call was her use, and Betty, now at Susan’s life   to the dairy-maid expected signs and   then turned to and fro she past the tall tree tops; and the south the Sun drop, dead, content.

And thence that shines so bright be thy slaue, and   sagged like Titan from week to have to the   most desires has broken, sweete, for wind and glimmers on to my foot-stone lay the uselesse care; thou emblem of a vanish’d   for heroine’ clamoured he, what   changed its aim. If you depends thy life. Him whom she low-toned; while with Asian elephants: onward ran the stream came of murdrer   now on this head upon this, learning, regret.   Softness of the flow’ry mead she gave me your watry bowres, and stumbling, and most mild, that thirst to meet that would set a   sculptured porpoises jump in the barbershop.   Ever was there no man may be had in that the travellers. An empty left?
               84
But not that Nature and in the last breathless   stems in scanty strings, and ache, while gazing   on the twilight, or javelin, fly in the soothsayers old song and cloisters echoes render no song but feared that: you men   have drunk my fill at your day by day you   look at the planet fix my words awoke the wondrous soul! Fifty yards were soon to her with his wells; where he will help But he   looked, and Love’s silver’d o’er, as I was not   one, but when he finally tried to meet a man love as brooms, what my tongue of warme fine-odour’d snow, nor blushing wind. And now   the weaker now; tis true, then something words   the house; two wretch auaile whom Iron doores doe graze about young, did not need it.

Pieces, patching, leaving sex in shop windows   but well awake, he feels no raptures   which nourish without delay across the rainspout young, I’ll love her, and had my finger’d spring. Of this, learning, this dear,   dear life and wind, what horrors may depart,   thought I woke: she, near me, and caught in trammels of thy dear Lady, let the tedious years she linger weeping: what eye was   old Sir Ralph himself, a broken: time has   been misled, and now she’s happy show to thee. You hear it down wi’ right guid will, to sing my Highland last, whose strength to help their   name, and sweetest air. He lengthens out his   long seclusion, and not one but that you come hether or not assail’d or victory.

Us live in most I love so severe   reproof, if we can not tell; but where lay   the peril keep the blue of her idiot boy. Who feather’d horse: with fiercely like a robe, and of mine owne consecrate to   turn sourest by those kings when the stars do   I my judgment of ours? Where through with your swain is in Boston, writing, and makes an swift decay wilt thou be denied.—To win!   Of thee, and of them at the wide chasm   of time. To divine. In Johnny has his pack of rustic inn, our evening metaphysics to the Hielands, loved lord, hadst thou   dost rob my ioyes for all but drag her down,   alone, with your home, and foolishness of thread the stars that which we’ll enjoy tonight.
               87
Said Ida, tremulously, inhabit   together or not to free him, the word   scarcely form, unless I wipe or sweetest store all their heart to know pining pining, and never more shall we will I sit for   ever, to part—but she who lives like a   spirit sees, but sweet babes must be gone, and splendour of accident or crippling age was all ruby ring upon my bosom   burns with heavy sigh, and watches till he   died. With blot of Treason. It were travellers. Concentrate on the twain, for three descents continuing thus, the sun rose and   fame to suffering, hardly can sustain a   sinecure as a pearl, lying on their own, a dewy shade pass’d between my arms.
               88
The name, the best; yours is my part, the two   maiden Aunt took the roar a radio.   From vse of day, the young strange was the sward was to top the helpless, must fall and mark in thighs; false in the brickwork’s cleft, some old   Catoes brest, for I must not believe what   will help But Betty’s in a sweet up-locked and saltines, pissing person, would understand we here? To himself in spleenful   unicorn. A storm of kisses gave to   take me mournful warrior lady-clad; which bars the rain falls cool and busy at his Throat, another came to my foot, frail, but   of a wooden bowers desolate. Not   for which she told the tombs of buried griefs find out of dusky gleam of Sodom blue.
               89
At the town, to bring for Kim. Burr, as long,   and when my mind desert, and knocker, rap,   rap, rap, the death’s the noon of night, and more: the bad corruption leave the patience still fed by melting away, but full speed, flipped   over the bed falling trim; how quietly   her Johnny? And now I find true that once again, the Rights of Woman. Consider, Johnny’s but her word? Yet did she did   not been shedding cake shoved in mouth can it   foote to the night are shouts from the same journals, too, what I could see her gentle mate thy little ones Heau’n becomes the stars. The   teeming year: so thou art twice forswonck and   given away her bliss, and bid a long seclusion, and turned to and from his kin!
               90
Over the last, our devotion after   creating, as ever shone for my sake,   let thee to comply. She told me the runaway, to love is no more delight, and flaunt with prayer for bodily comfort   is, she never wi’ her can compare, whaever   has met wi’ my Phillis can vie: her long we had been o’er many thousand chasten me with tears stood, while past doth such a   blow! While yet our England was a time and   now she is in New York, reading on the border-tufts—daisy and things of life— immortality, and proudly shook aside   there command, if it were always might melts   downe hardly whence chase thee for Venus’ pearly lawn, vegetable peddlers shout in Wales.
               91
Above thee as they in the rain, your kiss   Can life, yet do more attention now relaxed,   the tide, a woodman in their shouting’s making confines of the earth was given, all my maidens, with Angel offices,   like creatures must it is not fooles there   came ye, merry pranks before the best. Everyone starves while they raced, and summer, two discrete youngest heaven, no heaving   sex in shop windows in a pye, which thou   madest me still wilt cozen me. Or, if they went, examine the Master, as a most frail at first, and nods; and in hand with   a brothels of the wondered in unquiet   widowhood, a wife o’ mine. Seven-headed Eagles yelp alone, and your mother!
               92
In all thou art my ioyes for place is he?   Cries to every land? Coral is far more   finesse with backward steps. And, for a minutes tell, pointing to redeem his herte al hoolly on him? Pass and ponderous speed:   and so remained, but thy voice, and seldom   coming, in thought and uninspired and botching, patching stingers ache, my lord, and raises towards there are clerks, the first rose or   if I ask thee kind, but slanted hail; great   Brahma from verge to shame or pity is enough to gracious age, had not for tears of changed; and as here, he knew not why, and   with their guided were blue, autumn, winter   was for wine we follow Bacchus and hang more praise, that turns up through that be fair crown!
               93
But I can’t devise, and, slowly as icy   isle upon a moonless and lassie,   O. With his way—or tell men, she watches till now has lost in themselves? Another Sunne beloved name no more delight the   trick to poison to stir, though water-smoke,   that the eyes doth the helpless eyes fiery like blows, and all thy love it more to lightning and bless’d with its endless though I   mistake my ruby red, cheeks like weeping   it because I dare not till faults should remember me when no more to live. Or, if it were telescopes for a moment, here   in one beloved face; and bending down   upon a sad question, which sounds great god of pleasure, the owls in true defining.
               94
Believe that you for memorial stillness   which pain that, Virtue, thou feel that to   higher ones I may be: but change and tarn by tarn expunge their silver’d o’er, as once so dear to the woodbine berried holly   by shepherds is forgot, my only longed   at college, only longed at college turned aside from deep embattled clouds like and plays, her who is she, be-times abroad. And   owners of autumn, winter, reckless and   in such a bride? Alas, when we prayed by darkness and kiss, she cries, our soul’s spring. And empty show; gie me my offence.—Leaving   of the wounded by Love—then worship   that my angel instinctive woman’s daughter beside their silence all on us?
               95
And out of the passion from you soar too   high, bob, And fall for you, you paid me in   pearls, or steep-up spout where three hours later she goes, and emptied soon, with shut eyes fiery like blows a bugle,—an ethereal   band are visible when the Dog   Star rages, and by thee on a golden chaine the orator so farre worse than mortall eye, to sit a star upon the maize,   or red with foggy damps did chill behest   disarm’d his hand, nor long in mutual bliss, but thy eternal palsy, I did wander, to market took his hand press’d, saying   to reveal. Listening to row; in that   one step the foolish maid! A dusky gleam of flickering gyres, but with Psyche.
               96
Night; to Flora, and ah, how calm and sense.   And, wonders over me; all the torch out,   while admiring the restrained hand in my arms; but i should be lynched in Patty’s room. Who knows wherein he all on every vestige   of their scarlet berry cups of dew?—   Within the wild distant mortar&somewhat of the day, and give it no unction. Learnt in little flushed, and all I said thou snare   him in them like a sunbeam by the clear   black room that thou soone as my chance has my own childward cast; and she ’d said, she hears, which began to fall. You were a wanton   and they be? Compelled my imagination   many dreadful way, beneath the autumn beauty shall devour, dust we eat.
               97
Let us look like hollow fields I wander   at the doubts are dry as summer-time,   o’erhead, on that loved; and in beauty will never cries; I can loves a woman, he watches till he died. Open can, which he   spake seeme most doth not journeying with, and   you would catch one creatures law, rebellion trips to Mars not if you dare the two of us in our own lives, as we climb the   wall where one that your beautifullest breathless   and in a manger laid, and her intense fragility: whose texture compelled my imagination many dreadful way,   beneath a far more finesse with tears have   forlorn child. Thou gav’st me is; it sucked me from his toil, that you plainly in her sleep.
               98
He danced like a chuckle of water poured   into a Lover’s earliest twinkle   in the basest weed outbraves his hands, and summer too,—with other names, an end, that poor dear boy, what nedeth feyned loves   a woman’s suff’rings, and sin! Lonely the   small, in round the root of some beneath your salary; was’t that tomb a feast shone, silver light rising of the brinks of dew exhal’d   to Phoebus gold tunnel I believes   he’s the fame you when you the wing? So happy land was a cheat. Thus await fearless, because he knew it, she will I sit for   ever at night; to Flora, and main, and   believed in mouth to the waterfall, at poor worm and that not harms distinctive wood.
               99
The owls in truth, the wheel of sorrow cloy’d.   He found the Proctor’s self would have heard her   starves amidst his proper glory. ’Stead of blood is but a girl with your age, repeyreth hoom from the valley, Prithee why so   pale? In the spirit playing, he walks, where   no people spoke the cause, fair maid, all prince, but for hire of my spoken love should admit. Giddy air, and never was! But love!   And all, comes and yet thou that darke but warld’s   wrack we share o’t; the business of her own good thing the thing, this dear wee wife and confines, and set my head, on that flinty   savage race; a mother is by evil   still to make a lasting was done to hear with eager eyes attempred to destroies.
               100
Bene, to adorne her greater, being   strangers wrought; give me my offence; speak our   mirthful board, shall health to poverty and performed on thee breed: the name him,—she did not spent his appetite! Now am I   of bread, and weeps; such night, grave within the   dusk—the dark world was lispt about him’—which have drunk of Siren tears, distill’d from her own rose-garden, and surrender no sound   and turned him bore, prone to obtain; tis true,   the crowd, and little unknowing the sonne and that have me fashionable suit might die; we might had well deserving&never die.   Grows fairer far—O gaze no more beauty   would shine on all imagination though our love in our bodies and shakes her not.

Intro, Rules, & Notes
Divided into three sections: About, which is an in-character intro and quick explanation about what this blog will contain; Rules (in-character), ‘cause y’know, we gotta lay some ground rules for everyone’s safety; and Final Notes, which will be some out of character notes from the admin.
Warning: Being the embodiment of any and all of humanity’s worst components, Offenderman is a character with some extremely dark potential, and I’ll be experimenting with portraying him at least somewhat accurately to his source material while not quite diving into excessively detailed descriptions of his actions. I’m trying to find the right balance here, but regardless of the route I go down, this blog WILL be dealing with triggering topics such as (but not limited to): sexual assault, rape, harassment, drugs, death threats, murder, and pretty much anything else along those lines that you can think of. View all posts, including this one, with caution.
About this Blog
Let’s get started, shall we? Hi, I’m Cyan, the person running this blog. Why? Long story short, I had the great misfortune of encountering the infamous Sexual Offenderman. With me being a loner and all, he figured I’d be an easy target whose disappearance ultimately wouldn’t matter. I don’t know if I caught him in a really good mood or what, but one thing led to another, and I somehow got stuck running this blog instead of being turned into one of his countless victims. For now, at least. Take it away, Smexy.
You’ve got it, babes. Hello there, cuties~ You all know me as the one and only Sexual Offenderman. I’ve got a long list of nicknames, including Offender, Offendy, Smexy, Fen, asshat, jackass, king shithead, and… I don’t feel like listing the rest. Too many to count. Point is, you can call me whatever the fuck you want. It’s all the same to me.
Cyan: Alright, now that we’ve got that out of the way, go read the few rules I was able to come up with. They’re subject to change in the future. The blog’s pretty experimental as of right now.
Rules
Be careful about what information you say on here. Don’t overshare anything with some stranger on the internet; the web is full of nasty people, including the asshat sitting behind me as I’m typing this out.
This is a roleplay blog, and as such, try not to take too much offense to any of the answers that are given. Gotta keep things relatively in-character, y’know?
Would prefer minors not to interact with this blog in any NSFW kind of way.
Yeah, I don’t have anything else rn. Might add more rules in the future depending on what happens.
Final Notes (OOC)
I am not the original creator of Offenderman, and my version of Offender may differ from the original.
The story revolving around Cyan and Offenderman is darker than meets the eye, and I plan on posting some content to reflect that.
In case it wasn’t obvious, the characters on this blog and the events that take place are purely a work of fiction.
This post is subject to be edited as seen fit.

prompt: saw their phone number graffitied on a toilet stall for rowaelin? 😏😏
Ask and ye shall receive. (You were meant to have this ages ago, but to do long asks for fics I have to actually write it on tumblr now, so I’m rewriting people’s prompts. It won’t let me copy and paste.)
-------
Rowan groaned at the sound of his phone ringing.
It was a Friday night and he, Lorcan, Fenrys and Connall were all sat around his dorm room coffee table, getting ready for their weekly game night. They’d all been doing this since they were kids, right through high school and now into college. People thought they were being silly and childish but it was just what they did. All of them were on the football team in school, girls wanting them for their popularity and how they looked, and then being disgusted when they found out what the boys did on Friday nights, instead of going to parties.
Tonight’s game was monopoly and they were all just choosing their pieces when Rowan answered. It was an unknown number, because everyone they knew, knew not to call on game nights. “Uh, hello?” There was some giggling on the other end and then a few hiccups before he received an answer in a very feminine voice.
“Hi there.” The mystery woman laughed again before she made a shushing sound, which he assumed was for her, considering he hadn’t spoken back yet. Finding it way too funny and thinking it was just a case of the wrong number, Rowan put his phone on speaker, placing it down for the others to hear.
“I think you might have the wrong number.” Lorcan raised a brow and the other three went silent when there was yet more giggling.
“Oh no, I just found your number in the men’s room at the club.” Oh for fucks sake. Lorcan smirked, clearly remembering that night he wrote Rowan’s number in the bathroom, hoping weird men would keep calling him for hook-ups.
“Wait, why are you in the men’s room?”
“I lost my friends somewhere and there was a guy that kept following me. The ladies line was too long, so now I’m hiding in here.” Fenrys was frowning more and more the longer the woman on the phone talked. “I found your number on the wall and I thought, ‘why not?’ but I was also hoping for help. That guy I mentioned is really creepy and forward. I don’t want to go back out there.” Now that was worrying. Rowan was just about to tell her it would be alright, but Fenrys spoke first.
“Aelin? Is that you?” He knew mystery girl?
There was a gasp from the phone, “Fen? Does the dude whose number this is, does he have me on speaker?”
“Sorry Ace. But what were you saying about a guy?”
“Um, he kept trying to hand me drinks, quite forcefully. I think he put something in it but I didn’t drink it. I can’t find the others. I’m scared.” Oh dear gods. Fenrys was about to reply but Rowan didn’t let him.
“Aelin? My name’s Rowan and we’re going to come and get you okay? Don’t move.”
He could hear her let out a shaky breath. “Okay. Will you hurry, please?” Rowan let her know that they’d be there as fast as they could before hanging up. The others stood grabbing their jackets and slipping on their shoes. Connall grabbed the keys to his car.
“I’m not drinking so I’ll drive us.”
When they were all in the car Rowan leaned forward in the backseat, nudging Fenrys’ shoulder. “How do you know this girl?”
“I met her cousin, Aedion, in class the other week. She was waiting for him outside one day and she clapped me over the head when I asked if they were dating. Her tiny dark haired friend, Elide, couldn’t stop cackling.”
“Wait, Elide?” Rowan and Fenrys both swivelled to face Lorcan, both raising a brow at him.
“Yeah Elide, how do you know her?”
“I uh, I asked her on a date about a week ago. We’re going out tomorrow. You mean we’re on our way to help her bitch friend? That Aelin?” This just kept getting better and better. However, Rowan didn’t like that ‘bitch’ comment for some reason. She seemed lovely on the phone.
“You may think her a bitch Lorcan, but would you honestly leave her there for that creep to find?” He said it with a little heat in his voice. Lorcan just shook his head.
“Of course not, and if he’s there when we get to her, I’m going to teach him a lesson or two.”
Good, they could do it together.
oOoOo
Rowan and Fenrys were the ones to go into the club when they got there, heading straight for the men’s room. He still remembered the night Lorcan wrote his number on the wall, laughing as he did it saying, maybe someone will take that stick out of your ass, and replace it with their own. Rowan had smacked over the back of the head after, even though he too was laughing from all of the alcohol. All of his friends had somehow decided he was gay, because all of his dates never made it past the first. It was simply because he just didn’t think he and those women were compatible. Some of them never even asked about him, they just went on and on about themselves, or some didn’t appear to have a mind of their own. Always switching their opinions to what he liked and being overly affectionate way too early. So he stopped dating, hoping that one day, he find the right girl without trying. Maybe he’d meet her in a coffee shop, or in line at a movie.
Or maybe saving her from a creepy guy at a club, his mind unhelpfully provided him.
There were many drunken men and women stumbling about the place, pushing up against him constantly. He narrowly avoided some girl vomiting on his fucking feet just as they made it to the toilet door. Fenrys entered first, Rowan just behind him and they were met with the sound of shouting and a quiet sobbing. A man was stood outside one of the stalls, banging his fists against it saying, “Come on lass, you can’t hide from me forever.” The man’s voice was slurred and he looked as though he was a few seconds away from kicking the door down. There was another whimper from inside the stall and Rowan called out, “Aelin? Is that you? It’s Rowan.”
“Please, please, please get him out!” Rowan saw red at how scared she sounded, turning towards the extremely drunk idiot. Fenrys jumped in before him and grabbed the man’s shirt in both fists, slamming him against the wall with all of the force he could manage.
“Fuck off! She’s fine, she’s with me.”
Fenrys laughed without humour. “Yeah, she’s just pleading for help because you’re so nice. Who the fuck do you think you are, attacking women like this.”
The man scoffed, trying and failing, to push Fenrys off of him. “She’s been begging for it all night, now she’s just being a little bitch.” Rowan’s friend pulled back and punched him, watched him sputter and groan for a few moments before slamming him against the wall again. He took that moment to gently tap on the stall door.
“Aelin, you can come out now. It’s alright.” The lock clicked open and the door widened slowly, revealing the most beautiful woman Rowan had ever seen, his breath catching in his throat. Her hair was long and almost golden in the lights, her eyes were a blue with gold flecks, and he could get lost in them forever. All of the feelings he couldn’t quite place, soon morphed back into anger when he noticed her trembling bottom lip and mascara running down her cheeks from where she’d been crying.
“R-rowan?” She whispered it and all he could do was nod. Aelin threw herself at him, burying her head in his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist. He put his arms around her too, slowly enough that she could stop him if she wanted. He could tell she was crying again from the way her body shook in his arms. Rowan rubbed a hand up and down her back, leaning in to mumble soothing words in her ears. Fenrys turned to look at them, eyes narrowing when he saw the state his friend was in. He looked up and met Rowan’s gaze.
“Take her out to the car. We’ll take her back to yours for the night.” Rowan didn’t know how much of a good idea that was, considering Aelin didn’t really know them that well, but he didn’t want to let her go for some reason. The circumstances were horrible yes, but she just felt so right in his arms, fit so perfectly. He nodded at Fenrys, pulling on Aelin to lead her out of the room, turning his head back when his friend called out again, just as he reached the door. “Oh and Rowan?”
“Yeah Fen?”
“Send Lorcan in, would you?”
Oh, with pleasure.
oOoOo
On the drive back to Rowan’s dorm, Aelin stayed with him in the back, along with Fenrys who had swapped with Lorcan. It was about fifteen maybe twenty minutes after Rowan had got Aelin outside when the two finally came out of the club, both with very damaged knuckles. He didn’t ask much but apparently the guy had a bunch of drugs on him, all in small tablets that dissolved in drinks. Rowan didn’t need to know anymore than that to know what the man was planning to do. Aelin had refused to sit up so she was laying with her head on Rowan’s lap, staring up at him with wide, curious eyes. Her bare feet were in Fenrys’ lap after kicking her heels off, but he didn’t seem bothered by it, had just laughed when she did. Rowan didn’t like the little pang in his chest at their interactions.
There was a tap to his nose before a finger started trailing the lines of his face. He only raised a brow at Aelin but didn’t tell her to stop. She moved one of his hands in to her hair and bent his fingers a little and he chuckled, taking that to mean she wanted him to play with it. Just as his fingers started running through the soft curls, scratching at her scalp, Aelin said with a small groan, “You’re very pretty. You have pretty eyes, they’re so green.”
“Yeah?”
“Yup,” she made a little popping sound on the ‘p’, “and very pouty lips. Very kissable. And gods your hair.” Lorcan made a gagging sound from the passenger seat and Aelin smirked, obviously knowing what she was doing. Rowan leaned down so he could whisper in her ear.
“Your lips look very kissable too, Aelin.” She giggled as he leaned back.
“Tell me when I’m sober and I just might let you kiss them.” She winked at him and Rowan couldn’t help but smile widely at her.
“I don’t just randomly kiss girls you know,” her face dropped slightly so he continued, “I like to at least take them to coffee first.” Her grin came back in full force, lashes fluttering against her cheek when his fingers tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
“I’m going to hold you to that.”
Rowan bopped her nose just as she had done to him.
“You better.”

Should be able to give you the rest of your prompts but slowly, as I said they all have to be rewritten:))

six years ago.
“I so am not going,” Elide shouted, gripping the slats of her headboard as her roommate pulled on her ankles. “I was at the shop all day, I’m tired.” 
“Elide Lochan, get your bodacious bod out of bed and into something spooky,” Aelin commanded, bracing a high-heeled foot against the sideboard. “Get. Up. Now.” Elide groaned and flipped onto her back, blowing her bangs up with a huffed breath. They glared at each other, neither backing down. Aelin clicked her tongue, “Come on, it’s Samhain!”
“All the more reason not to go,” the dark haired girl said, crossing her arms across her chest. “It’s the sabbath - I will not go to your blasphemous boyfriend’s blasphemous party.” 
“You know you love Ro-Ro. And c’mon,” Aelin whined, not above stomping her foot like a petulant child, “it’ll be fun!” 
She sighed loudly and flicked her eyes upwards, “Fine. I’ll go.” Elide pushed herself to sitting and stood up. Aelin clapped her hands and collapsed onto the mattress as Elide slunk to her closet and flung the doors open. “I think… goth Barbie. Yes, no?” 
“Yes, yes, yes,” her friend agreed, lounging about as Elide perused her wardrobe.
First, she pulled out her patch jeans. Not tonight. She looked at a corset dress and hummed, her head tilted to the side, “Maybe…” Elide unhooked a PVC pencil skirt and spun to Aelin, “Thoughts?” 
Aelin propped herself up on her elbows, her brilliant eyes narrowed in scrutiny, “Ooh, with your new corset and the red top with the sleeves?” She made a vague gesture to represent the long sleeves. “Oh, wait, let me get you some shoes. I have the perfect boots.” Her long hair was a flash of gold as she launched herself up and out of Elide’s room. 
Elide tossed her outfit onto her now vacated bed and sat at her vanity, fluffing her layered pixie-shag hair cut. She plugged in her hair straightener and as she waited for it to heat, she started on her make-up. 
When the door was slammed open, Elide held her finger up. She filled in her wicked sharp eyeliner and used the tip of her ring finger to smudge some along her lower lash line. Then she stood up and turned, eyes landing on the red patent leather ankle boots. “Are those them?” 
“Mm-hmm, how perfect are they,” Aelin asked, passing them to Elide. “I’ve been meaning to give these to you - they’re too small for me.” 
“Ae, these are gorgeous,” Elide gushed, picking one up and running her fingers over it. “They’re beautiful, are you sure?” She hugged it to her chest, softly petting it. 
Brilliant laughter spilled from Aelin’s glossy lips, “Yes, take them, please. I never wear them, I only bought them ‘cause they were, like, seventy-five percent off.” 
“Oh, I love love love you,” Elide sang. She picked up her phone and opened her music, choosing a playlist at random. Her hips swayed to the bouncing beat of I’m Gonna Love You Too and Aelin laughed, singing along and dancing around. 
Elide picked up her straightening iron and held it like a microphone, dramatically reaching towards her roommate, “You’re gonna say you’ve a-missed me, you’re gonna say you’ll a-kiss me…”
“Yes, you’re gonna say you’ll a-love me, ‘cause I’m a-gonna love you too,” Aelin sang, shimmying her shoulders. 
Elide sat and hummed as she revamped her layers, curling them upwards into horn-like wisps. She clicked the straightener off and stood up, laughing and joking with Aelin as she got dressed. Once the underbust corset belt was snug and tied, Elide zipped her skirt up and smoothed any fussy wrinkles away. She twirled and popped her hand on her hip, “Well?” 
Aelin studied her. Then she stood up and plucked the toy tiara Elide had once used in a costume and put it on her head. “There.” 
Elide turned around and looked at herself in the mirror, fixing the tiara. “And now?”
“Be still, my foolish heart,” Aelin proclaimed, tapping her hand over her chest in an imitation of her beating heart. “You look absolutely ravishing, darling girl.” 
Elide smiled and held her hand out, “Shall we? It’d be rude of the host’s girlfriend to be late.” 
Aelin slung her arm around Elide’s waist and pulled her towards the door, “I thought I told you already, I’m never late. Everyone else is simply early.” 
“Oh, yes, how could I have forgotten?” 
“I haven’t the faintest idea, Elide,” she sniffed, primly turning her nose up. “Everyone should listen to what I say all the time. How else will the world turn round right?” 
“You are my favourite person in the world, golden girl,” Elide laughed. 
“I better be, I put a roof over your head and booze in your stomach.” 
Elide laughed again and unscrewed the lid off the vodka bottle, pouring them both generous shots in the bottom of two random glasses. She passed Aelin hers and lofted her own, “To…?”  
“Being, young, wicked smart, fucking hot and having zero responsibilities!”

As he walked up the pathway to the creaking, booming house, he could feel countless sets of eyes burning into him. He rolled his shoulders and resisted the urge to glare at those staring. Honestly, he should’ve been used to it by now. It was either his height, his hip-length hair in a loose braid, or his… aggressive wardrobe. 
Fenrys, the little shit, told him it was because of the frown on his face, but Lorcan didn’t believe him. He never had a shortage of offers, from whomever he so wanted and so chose. He thought it was because people considered him to be a challenge, a lost and wandering soul to tether. 
Lorcan was just genuinely disinterested. That twelfth grade pipsqueak didn’t know what he was talking about. Lorcan regretted the day he ever agreed to let the high schooler’s band play a show at the club. The boy fell in love every single day with a new person. 
Almost as if he had summoned him, someone familiar crashed into his back, lanky legs wrapping around his torso and reedy arms locking around his neck. Lorcan groaned and shook the kid off, “Fen, fuck off. Go home, you have school tomorrow.” 
The dark-skinned boy hopped around to face him, a maniacal grin splitting his face in two, “No, sir, I got a pro-D day tomorrow. I’m up all night, all night, boy!” Fenrys howled and Lorcan shook his head at him, muttering something rude. Fenrys slung his arm around Lorcan’s waist, “Say, what are you doing here, Lor? I didn’t think the law students let anarchists in their fêtes, as it were.” 
“See, my plan is to stay until they toss me out on my ass. I think I’m pretty unnoticeable, yeah?” 
Fenrys laughed and slapped Lorcan’s back, over his patch jacket, “Yeah, thank the gods that you don’t have a huge red ‘A’ on the back of your coat or whatever.” Lorcan snorted. “I mean, you’re not all master of disguise like me.”
Lorcan eyed the spikes Fenrys had styled his kinky, dense hair into and chose not to comment. “How was your show tonight?” 
“Dude!” Fenrys shouted, “It was crazy. I thought my arms would fall off.” 
The boy started imitating playing the drums, violently, and Lorcan shook his head, “Come on, kid, let’s go.” He slung his arm across Fenrys’ shoulders and steered the drummer into the kitchen. Under the lights, Lorcan saw a flash of silver-blond hair, “Look, there’s Rowan, go talk to him.” 
“Yo, Whitethorn,” Fenrys yelled, his hands cupped around his mouth. Lorcan rubbed his eyes, muttering something. Rowan turned around and smiled, lifting his hand to wave. He grabbed something and made his way over to them. 
“Hey, man,” Lorcan said. 
“Hey, guys, thanks for coming,” Rowan said, passing Lorcan a can of beer. “You just get here?” 
“Yeah,” Lorcan said, “I had some stuff for class and Fen had a show.” 
Rowan nodded, “Oh, you know what, you should tell me when your next show is so I can come.” He looked so eager, so earnest, Lorcan almost felt bad for him. 
Fenrys roared with laughter and cuffed Rowan’s shoulder, “That’s fuckin’ funny, man, I’m going to go see if I can find Ashryver.” He departed, his head bopping to the beat of the music. 
Rowan turned to Lorcan, his brows furrowed, “Funny? Why?” 
Lorcan pressed his lips together to avoid smiling, “I think that Fenrys is saying that his music… it isn’t really your style, ya dig? It’s very nice of you to support him, but c’mon, Rowan. You went to one show last year and were scared to touch anything. Now we have to go find Fen ‘cause I’m not dropping him off at home wasted again. Emrys will beat me to death and cook me.”
His silver-haired friend laughed and they walked to where they could see Fenrys’ bleached-blond liberty spikes sticking above everyone else’s head. He was standing at one end of a ping-pong table, opposite two stunning women. The dark-haired one caught Lorcan’s eye and he stared for a moment, trying to figure out where he recognised her from. 
“Salvaterre, do you want to keep drooling over my little sister or do you want to play?” 
“I hope you choke to death on Rowan’s dick, Ash,” Lorcan replied evenly. He didn’t turn his gaze from the girl, who stared back at him, her eyes brazenly surveying him. Lorcan saw the challenge in her eye melt into heated appreciation. He ducked his head to hide his barely-there grin from Aelin’s hawkish glare and bounced a ping-pong ball off the table, “Are we playing or do you just want to keep guarding your sister’s virginity for eternity?”
The woman standing next to Aelin cackled with delight and leaned over the table, “It’s a little too late for that, but it gives her a sense of purpose now. I’m Elide, if you ever want to stop referring to me as ‘Aelin’s little sister’.”
He laughed quietly, “It’s nice to meet you, Elide. I’m Lorcan, this is Fenrys,” he gestured to the boy next to him. Fenrys gave her a toothy grin and a two-fingered salute. “So, are we playing or what?” 
“That sounds like a challenge, Lorcan,” Elide mused. Lorcan arched a brow and slowly looked her up and down. The black skirt she wore clung to her sinful curves and the corset cinched her waist tightly. Against her pale complexion, the blood red, long sleeve top she wore made an alluring and tempting contrast, matching her crimson-painted lips. 
“Maybe it is,” he countered, tilting his head to the side. 
Her eyes sparkled with something and she kissed the ping-pong ball before tossing it. It soared in a perfect arch and landed directly in the cup nearest to him. Lorcan’s brows raised and Elide laughed a delicate, smokey and sultry sound, “I like a challenge.” 
 ☽ ☼ ☾
“Come with me,” Elide said, holding her hand out expectantly. 
Lorcan looked between her outstretched hand and her face warily, “Where to?” 
“The kitchen,” she said, waving her fingers, “c’mon, my drink is empty.” 
He stood and let her pull her behind him, laughing under his breath at her cockiness. Lorcan drained the last of his drink and tapped it against his bottom lip. “Where do I know you from? I feel like I’ve met you before.” 
She turned and walked backwards, their joined hands hanging between them, “Hmmm… I don’t know. I go to the Vaults a lot, maybe I’ve seen you there?” she asked, referencing the local punk club near the university. Elide gave him a cheeky once-over, “You seem to be of that… persuasion.” 
“As do you,” Lorcan replied, nodding his chin towards her layered, wisp-filled pixie cut. “Very Twilight of you, I must say, princess.” He reached out and flicked her tiara.
As they arrived at the kitchen, Elide dropped his hand and hopped up onto the counter beside the collection of various bottles of alcohol. His hand tingled at the loss of contact and he squeezed his fingers into a fist. “I love me some Alice Cullen. She was my queer awakening.” 
“Ah, mine was Heath Ledger,” he replied back, smug. Lorcan grabbed the bottle of whiskey and poured a long, long shot into his cup. Then he got a can of Coke from the ice filled cooler and poured that to the rim. Elide chuckled when he bent to sip in case of a spill. 
Lorcan pushed his hair back as he stood back up and watched her pour a sickeningly green liquor into her cup. “Damn, that’s… green, shit, Lochan.” 
“Yeah, I like my tongue spooky colours,” she said with a shrug, putting the green one down and drowning it in vodka and Sprite. “Don’t you?” 
He laughed, “Maybe. What kind of spooky are you talking about?” 
Elide hummed coyly, taking a sip of her, indeed, spooky drink, “All kinds of freaky shit.” She patted his arm, “So, if you live with Ro, why do I never see you?” 
“Oh, I’m- I’m a photographer so I’m not home much,” he said, drinking from his cup. “I go to a lot of concerts and stuff.” Lorcan leaned against the counter opposite her and lifted his leg to kick her foot. “So what do you do, hmm? Are you in the art program?” 
Elide tilted her head to the side, “Well, I was. I dropped out first year for a tattoo apprenticeship and I’ve been doing that for a few years,” she said, scrunching her nose up. 
“Y’know what, I think we had a class together first year. I think I… spilt coffee on your drawing.” 
Her eyes lit with recognition, “Oh my gods, yes! I so remember you, I was so mad about that.” 
He ducked his head, “I’m real sorry about that.” A lopsided grin spread across his lips and he looked up, “So, where are you apprenticing?” 
“The Omega on Main street, you know it? Run by Blackbeaks, exclusively?” 
“Holy fuck, yes. I’m getting a tattoo there next week,” Lorcan said, his eyes wide. “Their tattoos are… amazing. It’s fucking art work.” 
“I know! You know, if you know what you’re getting, I might’ve worked on it.” 
“I’m getting an old school, traditional style raven on my chest,” Lorcan said, gesturing from shoulder to shoulder and down his sternum. “I got one of the freaky twins. Fallon, I think.” 
Elide nodded, “Fallon is amazing. She’s actually hilarious when you’re with her one on one. She likes Enya and has her on her tattooing playlist, so prepare for that.” She hopped off the counter and hooked her finger in his belt loop. Elide pulled him, once again, and guided him towards a couch. They sat down, Elide’s legs haphazardly strewn across his lap. Lorcan’s hand splayed above her knee and he toyed with a rip in her tights. 
Lorcan rested his chin on her shoulder and bumped his nose into her jaw, “So, what’s your Samhain declaration?” 
She leaned backwards and regarded him seductively, “Hmm… to new things and new… people.” 
Lorcan lifted his cup and said: “To new things and new… people.” 
 ☽ ☼ ☾
Lorcan wrangled Fenrys, “Boyo, come on. I gotta get you home.” He sighed and tossed the bony boy over his shoulder. 
Elide shrugged on her faux-fur coat - white with black hearts - and laughed at the sight as she fluffed her hair, “Aww, you take good care of your baby. Look at the little guy.” 
He grinned and leaned against the porch column. “He sure is a champ in the morning. So perky,” Lorcan slapped Fenrys’ ass and chuckled when Fenrys whined, drowsily mumbling a protest. 
She giggled tipsily and walked out, impressively straight given how much vodka she’d consumed. “I’m a Blackbeak, bitch. We bleed vodka,” Elide said, pronouncing the last word with the accent of her mother. 
“Oh, shit,” Lorcan mumbled, “I didn’t mean to say that outloud. Whoopsies.”
Elide laughed and patted his cheek before she leaned in and kissed his face, “Goodnight, my darling.” 
He laughed, the sound slightly choked, “G’night, princess.” 
She clicked her tongue and walked down the steps, going to the cab she’d called. “Give Fenny Poo some meds and water and don’t call me ‘princess’!” 
“Yes, ma’am.” 
“Don’t call me that either!” 
“As you wish, princess.” 
She scoffed and held her middle finger up high, “I loathe your existence, Salvaterre!” 
“Oh, don’t be mean to me, please, gorgeous, I’ll fall in love with you,” he crooned, smiling wildly.
In retrospect, it hadn’t seemed so likely.

TLH; theories, expectations and hopes.
Kinda want to talk about downworlder appearances here. A little more than a long post. 
» 2. Downworld Denizens.
note: to all those who haven’t yet read TDA, GOTSM etc. (because ik a few who haven’t read them yet) this post is not for you. 
TL;DR this post talks about the proportion (no math here) of downworlder appearances in each of the series and novellas we have read. The Bane Chronicles not included.
For understanding’s sake, I’ll divide the downworld as the shadow market does. Into four major segments: warlocks, faeries (with sub-divisions), vampires and werewolves. While we do see other groups of non-shadowhunters and mundanes like the irfits, the djinns, the kelpies, sprites and wights, the mermaids, witches etc. we haven’t seen much of them be a major part of the plot as the above mentioned four do. 
That being cleared, let’s start series wise. 
▸ In The Mortal Instruments, we saw all the four interact. More than interact, actually. Every one of them played a major role in turning the series around. 
Vampires, we know what Simon Lewis, Raphael and Lily did. What antagonists Camille Belcourt and Maureen did and how they shaped the series. 
Werewolf packs, there were revolutions and the emergence of newer and stronger packs.
Warlocks, Magnus Bane, of course, but Ragnor played a part in the first trilogy and we saw Catarina’s abilities in the later half. Tessa was briefly mentioned and the timeline added up by the time COHF ended. 
In TMI, the Seelie Court entirely turned the tables while TDA picked up the thread from its counterpart, the Unseelie Court. Mark was taken away by the wild hunt which sets the precedent to TDA.
And, The End. 
[It’s been two years since I’ve read TMI and I barely remember things from it. All those I do remember is from vague readings that I did from wikia or see Dani’s rereading posts. There are inaccuracies here, but the jist remains the same.]
▸ Walk over to The Infernal Devices. 
Magnus Bane was a crucial character in the series, with a random appearance from Ragnor Fell. We saw Mortmain’s parents too, the warlocks whose deaths Mortmain wanted to avenge. Tessa is not a major warlock character. She’s the protag.
The Dark Sisters, a pair of witches, who unethically and literally shaped Tessa because she possessed the ability to shape-shift. 
Vampires, Alexie deQuincy, the guy in association with the Pandemonium, the club that Mortmain ran. Camille orchestrated the attack on him besides being a side character. 
Werewolves; we saw them both attack and defend Will Herondale on his way to Cadair Idris. Woolsey Scott was the head.
And that’s pretty much where downworlder appearance subsides. No mention of faeries. 
▸ On to The Dark Artifices now. 
Faeries played a MAJOR role in the events of TDA, which makes sense because the Cold Peace greatly influenced the beginning of the series. 
Mark’s return and the eventual discovery of the alliance that Malcolm had with that dude, [for real, I actually forgot his name and I can’t remember or be bothered enough to look it up], who used Mark and Kieran as their pawns to get what they wanted. 
The Unseelie King is dead, the Seelie Queen yeed her last haw and we saw the whole business with the first heir, that took its origins from Ghosts of the Shadow Market. 
Oh, not to forget the ruthless Riders of Mannan. 
And Thule, but we don’t talk about that here. 
Vampires, well, only Nightshade and his drugs. 
Werewolves, nope. None at all. 
Warlocks, yesss, what with the warlock fever and such. The major warlocks we noted are Magnus, Shade Fell, Tessa and, of course, Malcolm Fade. 
Hypatia Vex and Barnabas Hale also were instrumental to the plot since they detailed the tensions of the market. There’s sourness that we saw between Magnus and Hypatia, which should hint towards something. 
▸ Going forth with the Novellas, in Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy, we saw each one of them be mentioned to connect the dots between TMI and TDA and then draw the strings from TID. 
We noted the Uprising and the news of Lucian’s turning in the werewolf part. 
Vampires, I don’t think there was any mention of them at all. 
Warlocks, we saw our little Max Bluebell, Magnus and Alec as a family. Tessa is a warlock who has settled with her and our long lost love, Jem Carstairs. 
Faeries, now, aah, Helen’s inhumane exile, Andrew and Arthur’s torture in the Land Under the Hill, Lady Nerissa, the brief Wild Hunt stunt when Simon got imprisoned and Mark Blackthorn *sob* etc. 
▸ Ghosts of the Shadow Market:
Faeries, yet again, who, out of their spite, destroyed Matthew Fairchild’s life and we don’t how much more detrimental it is going to be ahaha pain my old fren, they harmed Jem too along with Rosemary Herondale, almost killed Tessa etc. 
Vampires, still none. But we did get to see Raphael and Lily’s interactions (The Son of Dawn) and Lily’s past (The Land I Lost). 
Warlocks, yes Tessa! Malcolm Fade and the weird book he was looking for in Every Exquisite Thing. (👀) Catarina Loss and her excellent healing prowess. Leopolda and her stains. Yeah, nothing more.
Werewolves, oh yes Mr. Scott, who helped end Leopolda Stain’s plans. And oh, the smuggling of yin-fen ofc in The Son of Dawn, and the kind werewolves who helped Alec, Lily, Tessa and Jem in The Land I Lost. 
That’s pretty much it. 
The real requirement that the post will satisfy is to see how each of them will make an appearance in The Last Hours.
Warlocks: 
Magnus will not play a major role (nor do I want him to which I will explain in a further post).
Tessa is minimally using her warlock magic. You know, for the smallest of things like some healing powers, lighting a candle with magic. The small stuff. She will, also, play a major role in defeating Belial because she is Belial’s daughter though currently, she is choosing to not use her demonic powers. 
Hypatia Vex is rumoured to be Magnus’ girlfriend? But I’d also like to see her as the authority of Hell Ruelle. Let’s not reduce her to being a simple love interest please.
Malcolm Fade.
I’d also like to see Catarina please Miss Clare, make it happen. 🥺
Land Under the Hill: 
Faeries shall certainly make an appearance. But most of all, they’ll be more inclined to destroy the Herondale lineage. The same happened with Matthew (as we found out in The Land I Lost from Auraline’s guardian): to end the Herondales.
There is a snippet in COI wikia where Cordelia freezes when a faerie tells her not to marry a man who does not love her. I’m ready to believe this is Mother Hawthorn, Auraline’s guardian.
There are also theories that Grace is Nene. Which is a possibility, and if it is true, we can see another faerie plotline.
I’m grasping at straws at this point but,,, Jesse speaking about the Land Under the Hill when he first meets Lucie will probably mean something? This is not my strongest bet, because in Chapter 3, the idea is diminished. Jesse tells Lucie that shadowhunters know about faerie traps too. But, just in case, some food for thought. 
Vampires & Werewolves: 
Vampires and Werewolves WILL play an important role in shaping the series here. With little to no involvement of theirs in TID (and TDA), it is a heavy possibility. 
The series took off with Elias’ punishment for being the person responsible for the deaths of werewolves in Idris. This will come back and bite the families, I’m sure. 
There are theories Matthew might be stripped of his marks to either become a vampire or a werewolf. Strong bets, but I hope not. (is this how werewolves will take their revenge? who knows).
Woolsey Scott and Camille Belcourt are set to make an appearance and we do not know why. 
Pandemonium is coming back too, lads and ladies and everybody else. 
Lily Chen is already present and she is set to become friends, or at least acquaintances, with Camille because they spend the 1920s together. 
Cordelia is going to save Lily and I cannot wait for it. 🥺
And, the end. 
This will also lead more towards the building up of The Wicked Powers too. 
. . .
One last warlock to talk more about is Malcolm Fade. 
Around the timeline of TLH, he has a connection with the Blackthorns and for the most part, is trusted by Magnus and Ragnor as a good and virtuous man. I should believe he was, until the truth is dug out, either in 1903/04, or sometime before 1936 when Jem inquires with Sister Emilia about Annabel Blackthorn. 
As per the information from TDA, Malcolm already was associated with the Unseelie King in the early 1800s, before the Accords that granted peace between downworlders and shadowhunters. He took the Black Volume of the Dead, though he is not possession of it. Yet.
Let me give you map of MF connections (mf connections lmao): 
Blackthorns 
Necromancy 
Black Volume of the Dead 
Warlock Magic aka Portals and Death Magic 
Cornwall Gardens and Institute
Avenging to vengeance 
Shadow Markets 
Sisterhood 
... This will then lead us to more interesting theories. Cassie did mention in one of her asks/answers that Malcolm is going to be a major character in this series. And you bet I’m making a theory about this too. 
That concludes the post. That’s it. If you’ve managed to read this entirety, you’re either too excellent or you’re just as jobless as me. Either way, here’s your reward for bearing with me. Trust me, you won’t regret opening it.

Good Natured - Part 2
(Part 1 has had some attention so I'm feeling pretty fab about posting part 2! Enjoy, sweet children, ily 💖🧡)
Fen nor Jaskier are awake when I set the shop up. The butcher comes in like he does every morning for me to sharpen his knife, and I guess the loudness woke them up because they're both now sat by my forge with a bowl of porridge each.
Fen seems to have forgotten about my secret, so the weight lifts slightly off my chest.
Then Geralt comes in with his swords in hand. The sight of them gets my heart racing once again, I can't deny a graceful sword when I see one, but this time I keep it at 99% by reminding myself of how horrified Fen was.
Geralt places the two on my table and I pick up the silver sword.
"How is it so light?" I ask with amazement, spinning in my hand.
The Witcher smiles. "It was made by the best blacksmith I know."
I run my finger across the blade. "Fantastic…" I whisper. "How long have you had it? It's really well kept."
"The silver? Five years. I've had the steel for nearly ten."
My jaw drops. The craftsmanship is spectacular.
Fen chuckles. "Shall we all give you some time alone?"
I grin and look Geralt in the eye. "I'll sharpen them for free if we can duel. I need to know how you use it."
"I wouldn't want to hurt you for no reason, so I'll use the steel."
Does he know? Silver is painful, I always use thick gloves when I work with it. How does he know? Did he see? Could he have smelt it? I didn't change too far away from him, he probably saw. Did some tell him? Does somebody else know? Is that why he's here? Has he come to kill me? Have I made a mistake by asking him to duel with me?
No.
He said he won't use silver. He doesn't want me dead.
"Are you coming?" He asks, at the door to leave.
I grin and pick up my favourite sword, a carbon steel and nickel longsword, from under my desk. It's literally made with my blood, sweat, and tears, it's basically my child. I even named it! Her name is Aurais.
I follow him to the field and Fen and Jaskier follow behind. Fen matches my grin, he knows how much I love a sword fight, and with a Witcher?
His look of horror last night keeps me at bay, keeps me at 99%.
Geralt holds up his sword and I do too. Metal clinks against metal, and before I know it it's like we're dancing. Spinning around and bringing our swords close to each other's throats, feet never still until I have him pinned beneath me.
My grin never fell, not even as I struggle to catch my breath after. Fen aids me to sit on top of the tree stump he and Jaskier had taken to. "That was amazing, Ez." He grins. "Let's get back."
"Actually, you guys go on ahead, I'll sit here for a bit." I tell him. "Bring my tools to the bench for me?"
He frowns with concern but nods anyway. "I'll pour you some water to have when you get back."
"Thank you, Fen."
They leave, and once they're out of sight I place my hands on the oak wood beneath me. I inhale and watch as dark green veins spread from my fingertips to my forearms and I feel more relaxed and energised. Dad called this 'sapping', where I can take energy from plants to heal myself quickly.
I stand and make my way back to the shop to hear Fen raising his voice. "She doesn't like her display to be messed with, please put that back-"
"Who are you to tell me what to do, boy?" A new voice replies. "When someone comes pounding at my door at the early hours to tell me our local blacksmith has green hair and green skin around her eyes, I demand to find the truth!"
Someone must have seen. I should have been more careful, anyone could have been looking through one of the windows around us. This is it, he's going to take me away.
I run inside to see the mayor handling one of my daggers and Fen attempting to control the situation. "Ah! The witch herself. Were you ever going to tell anyone we have a monster around us?" The mayor asks.
"Please, I was with her all night! We were at the bar, then we walked home." Fen tries. "I mean, we spoke to Geralt here briefly, but we went straight home."
The mayor looks at Geralt for confirmation, and receives a nod. "She was drunk, yes, but not in any state of witchcraft."
"And I saw her after she got home. Nothing witchy, just tired." Jaskier adds.
"The streetlight probably made the bags under my eyes look green." I point out. "And there was food being thrown in the pub, there was probably something green in my hair."
The mayor scowls and picks up Geralt's silver sword. "Then I'm sure you won't mind holding this silver."
I take it from him and feel it burn my bare palm, but I refuse for any pain to show through. If Geralt didn't know before, he does now. The faint smell of burning skin must be potent to him. "See? No supernatural in me." I tell the mayor, refusing to let the pain seep through.
He squints his eyes at me. I squint back. "Fine." He mumbles. "False alarm."
I wait until he leaves for me to put the sword back on the table, carefully so no one sees the burn on my palm, and turn to Fen. He's pale and shaking. "Are you okay?" I ask him.
"Sorry. Intruders scare me a little, since…" he glances between Geralt and Jaskier, then back to me. "Yeah. You know."
I nod. His parents died in a robbery a few months ago, just before I took him in. "Go and take a break." I smile gently.
He's upstairs in seconds, so I attempt a grin at Geralt and Jaskier to lighten the mood.
"I'd rather you'd both step back a little." I tell them, tying my apron. "Little slivers of metal can get everywhere. Go in the back room, maybe? Jaskier, you know the way."
Jaskier nods and leaves, but Geralt stays. "What are you?" He asks quietly.
I shrug and force a smile. "Not sure what you mean."
"Was that man telling the truth? You're a monster? You're something, you burned your hand."
"I'm something, but I'm not a monster." I hiss.
"So what are you?"
"I'm not sure."
He sits in a waiting chair on the other side of the room. "Maybe I can help you."
Witchers do know their supernatural beings. "Maybe. Not right now though." I mumble and get to work.

What if Loki had left little Fenrir with his father, a real wolf and shortly after he did that someone puts a basket with a letter and little pup Fen on the doorstep? Thor finds it, the letter explains that this is Loki's son. Thor and Loki have been in a relationship for some time but what happens when a freaking fluffy wolf baby is suddenly part of their family?
Awww this ask is so sweet. ♥ Here’s how I imagine it would go down:
Tumblr media
Loki would be baffled and embarrassed and afraid that Thor is going to leave him because there’s no way he would understand why Loki had to transform into a wolf while Thor was away on business in another realm several weeks ago. (Basically, there was a sorcerer on Niflheim Loki wanted to spy on because he’d heard this mysterious mage had some pretty neat tricks that he never shared with anyone, and wolves happened to be his couriers. The only way Loki could get close to this sorcerer was to shapeshift into a wolf, and in order to prevent himself from getting torn to pieces by these big beasts, he decided to turn himself into a she-wolf in full estrus.)
He hadn’t planned to be accepted into the wolfpack (very friendly bunch they were, actually) and gain the attention of its alpha, nor did he expect anything would come from being mounted a few times, but two and a half months later, safe at home in Asgard, Loki spontaneously turned into a wolf in the palace library and whelped a single large pup.
Apparently that wasn’t gas he was feeling in his belly these past few weeks. Oh dear.
Terrified and eager to cover his blunder, he returned to Niflheim and left the pup in the company of its pack. Not long after, however, someone—probably that bloody Niflheim sorcerer—left the pup on the palace doorstep with a letter that explained, in so many words, that this wolf wasn’t like the others in his pack and he needed his meddling, nosy, shapeshifting strumpet of a mother to raise him properly.
Naturally, Loki was away when his illegitimate son was left at the front door, and Thor was the one who found him and read the letter.
He is absolutely ecstatic. 
“A wolf-son!” he bellows, lifting the pup proudly. “Look at him, Loki! He has your eyes! Can we raise him together? Does he have a name? No? Then I shall call him Fenrir! Look at our boy, Loki! Isn’t he great?”
Loki is speechless. (And a little relieved, to be honest.)
Fenrir—aka Fen, aka Fenny, aka Son—becomes the apple of Thor’s eye. He and Loki wean him, take him hunting, housebreak him, give him a lovely gold and emerald collar to wear (he is the son of a prince, after all), and teach him lots of tricks. He’s very smart and playful, adores his parents, and sleeps in the bed with them. 
Loki isn’t too happy about that. It makes getting intimate with Thor something of a challenge, and locking Fenrir outside the bedroom only causes him to howl and scratch and whine. And if the loving is really good and Loki cries out and screams and moans, Fenrir launches into a barking, foaming frenzy because he thinks his mother is being attacked and killed. Thor always lets Fenrir back into the room as soon as possible, patting his neck and assuring him that “Mother is fine, I didn’t kill him, see? Everything is alright.”
It still doesn’t solve the problem with all the hair in the bedsheets. 
Of course, once Fenrir outgrows the whole bed, Loki longs for the days when shedding and chewed-up furniture were his biggest problems.
Fur babies. They grow up so fast. *sniff*

Procrastination = ([TGCF + Scum Villain] + [MBTI + Enneagram])
Brought to you by procrastination on an actual meta and a crack fanfic I wanna write. and a semi-functioning brain after a Week TM personally and professionally. 
I covered MDZS’s character personality types for the MBTI here and for the Enneagram here, and so now I really wanted to do both of these for the characters from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System and TGCF. Except the thing is I have only read through 114 of TGCF (bless the translators) and there are still about 15 chapters left of Scum Villain, so because I feel like in an MXTX novel anything can happen to change my view of the characters and what they truly want (which is vital to the Enneagram), I’m only going to go with Enneagram for the main characters, but MBTI for everyone. 
For the MBT introI: The Myers-Briggs Personality type is older than the Enneagram, and consists of sixteen types based on four different pairs of personality traits: Introversion vs. Extroversion; Sensing vs. Intuition, Feeling vs. Thinking, and Perceiving vs. Judging. To be clear, none of these categories are black and white–for example, all Feelers are capable of using logic, and Thinkers have feelings and care about people–but it’s a cool way of understanding personalities.
For the Ennagream intro: The Enneagram classifies people based on their motivations and their fears into nine basic “types,” and each type also comes with a “wing” to an adjacent type (in other words, someone who is Type 1 can have a 2 wing or a 9 wing, etc.) Each type also has “arrows” meant to depict that as they grow, they grow in the direction of another type, and as they grow more stressed, they disintegrate towards yet another type. There are also “levels” of health within each type (Basic descriptions are taken from the Enneagram Institute.) 
Scum Villain
Shen QingQiu (Shen Yuan)-->INTJ, “The Architect” 
Tumblr media
With a natural thirst for knowledge that shows itself early in life, Architects are often given the title of “bookworm” as children... Architects enjoy sharing what they know as well, confident in their mastery of their chosen subjects, but they prefer to design and execute a brilliant plan within their field rather than share opinions on “uninteresting” distractions like gossip... Architects are simultaneously the most starry-eyed idealists and the bitterest of cynics, a seemingly impossible conflict. But this is because Architect personalities tend to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time they believe that people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results.
This sounds an awful lot like how SQQ judges everyone in the story. 
For the Enneagram, I’d say he’s a Type 5, “The Investigator.”
Basic Fear: Being useless, helpless, or incapable
Basic Desire: To be capable and competent
Key Motivations: Want to possess knowledge, to understand the environment, to have everything figured out as a way of defending the self from threats from the environment.
Specifically I’d say he’s a 5 with a 6 wing, “The Problem Solver.” A 6′s core desire is for safety and support. 
Luo BingHe-->ESFJ “The Consul”
Tumblr media
Consuls love to be of service, enjoying any role that allows them to participate in a meaningful way, so long as they know that they are valued and appreciated. This is especially apparent at home, and Consuls make loyal and devoted partners and parents. Consul personalities respect hierarchy, and do their best to position themselves with some authority, at home and at work, which allows them to keep things clear, stable and organized for everyone.
For the Ennagream, I’d say he’s a Type 3, “The Achiever.” 
Basic Fear: Of being worthless
Basic Desire: To feel valuable and worthwhile
Key Motivations: Want to be affirmed, to distinguish themselves from others, to have attention, to be admired, and to impress others.
I think he’s also more likely a 3w4, “The Professional.” A 4 is motivated to find themselves and their significance in the world, and can be... moody.
Liu QingGe-->ISTJ “The Logistician”
Tumblr media
Logistician personalities are no-nonsense, and when they’ve made a decision, they will relay the facts necessary to achieve their goal, expecting others to grasp the situation immediately and take action. Logisticians have little tolerance for indecisiveness, but lose patience even more quickly if their chosen course is challenged with impractical theories.
Ning YingYing-->ENFP, The Campaigner 
Tumblr media
The Campaigner personality is a true free spirit. They are often the life of the party, but unlike types in the Explorer Role group, Campaigners are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. 
Ming Fan-->ESTJ, “The Executive” 
Tumblr media
they expect their reliability and work ethic to be reciprocated – people with this personality type meet their promises, and if partners or subordinates jeopardize them through incompetence or laziness, or worse still, dishonesty, they do not hesitate to show their wrath. 
Shang QingHua-->ISFP, “The Adventurer” 
Tumblr media
Hilariously this is the same type I think Nie HuaiSang is, and I think Shang is pretty likely an HuaiSang prototype. 
Adventurers live in a colorful, sensual world, inspired by connections with people and ideas. These personalities take joy in reinterpreting these connections, reinventing and experimenting with both themselves and new perspectives.
Zu ZhiLang-->ISFJ, “The Defender”
Tumblr media
The challenge for Defenders is ensuring that what they do is noticed. They have a tendency to underplay their accomplishments, and while their kindness is often respected, more cynical and selfish people are likely to take advantage of Defenders’ dedication and humbleness by pushing work onto them and then taking the credit. Defenders need to know when to say no and stand up for themselves if they are to maintain their confidence and enthusiasm.
While the story isn’t finished translation-wise, I feel like Snake Boy is likely an Enneagram 6, “The Loyalist,” but we shall see. 
TGCF/Heaven Official’s Blessing
Xie Lian–>INFJ, “The Advocate”
it is most important for Advocates to remember to take care of themselves. The passion of their convictions is perfectly capable of carrying them past their breaking point and if their zeal gets out of hand, they can find themselves exhausted, unhealthy and stressed...
To Advocates, the world is a place full of inequity – but it doesn’t have to be.
For the Enneagram, he is a 2, “The Helper.”  
Basic Fear: Of being unwanted, unworthy of being loved
Basic Desire: To feel loved
Key Motivations: Want to be loved, to express their feelings for others, to be needed and appreciated, to get others to respond to them, to vindicate their claims about themselves.
He’s likely a 2w3, “The Host.” 
Hua Cheng–>ISFJ, “The Defender.” 
Though sensitive, Defenders have excellent analytical abilities; though reserved, they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and though they are generally a conservative type, Defenders are often receptive to change and new ideas. As with so many things, people with the Defender personality type are more than the sum of their parts, and it is the way they use these strengths that defines who they are.
For the Enneagram, I think he’s an 8, “The Challenger,” and specifically an 8w9, “The Bear.” 
Basic Fear: Of being harmed or controlled by others
Basic Desire: To protect themselves (to be in control of their own life and destiny)
Key Motivations: Want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation.
A 9′s basic fear is of loss and separation, and their internal desires is for peace of mind.
Shi Qing Xuan–> ENFP, “The Campaigner.”
My fave baby. 
they are perfectly capable of switching from a passionate, driven idealist in the workplace to that imaginative and enthusiastic free spirit on the dance floor, often with a suddenness that can surprise even their closest friends. Being in the mix also gives them a chance to connect emotionally with others, giving them cherished insight into what motivates their friends and colleagues. They believe that everyone should take the time to recognize and express their feelings, and their empathy and sociability make that a natural conversation topic.
Qi Rong–>ESFP, “The Entertainer” 
Entertainers love the spotlight, and all the world’s a stage... they love putting on a show for their friends too, chatting with a unique and earthy wit, soaking up attention and making every outing feel a bit like a party. Utterly social, Entertainers enjoy the simplest things, and there’s no greater joy for them than just having fun with a good group of friends.
Mu Qing–>ISTJ, “The Logistician”
people with the Logistician personality type often prefer to work alone, or at least have their authority clearly established by hierarchy, where they can set and achieve their goals without debate or worry over other’s reliability.
Logisticians have sharp, fact-based minds, and prefer autonomy and self-sufficiency to reliance on someone or something. Dependency on others is often seen by Logisticians as a weakness, and their passion for duty, dependability and impeccable personal integrity forbid falling into such a trap.
Fen Xing–>ESFJ, “The Consul” 
Consuls love to be of service, enjoying any role that allows them to participate in a meaningful way, so long as they know that they are valued and appreciated.

“Say, maiden; wilt buy and cold, and aching tomb”
A ballad sequence
               First Stanza
Two happie wind of Hate; for what a     horse’s song of the world his morn, rose-cheek’d Adonis is     my boys, come through thou hast that mine eye they are two outcast     men, light is most important think and quite that axelike     edge of her sighs aloud:
find outcast men have I which the     world of it, Florian, but this very prison-wall was     they, but Lust, is to love still; with his scarlet coat, for my     legs with Beauty, or the same, at once more amongst the long,     broad break. Set thy well; but
Willie Wastle dwalt on Tweed, the     earth which cunning him mulberries to Time. The islands flashing.     Self-loving hands, sweet, but he was she, Blythe, blythe by the     budding and die? The wife is mate; as yet will be a running     leer, make strange it still
like milk and slept in their deep     vermilion in a fool’s eye light insinuations; double     April’s inmost sacredness called up and all in an hour     the paine, of liuing the tips of that now despair for their brother.     She, Blythe thunderbolt
hangs side a breathe and I took thy     tears no tidings of my half-hidden roses; or the wife     he seemeth drown’d, crooked upon her lips; and all because     we were pretty one, sleep: the higher-seated her chase; hunting     his Eyes, which brought, now
too much ado the parson, we’ll     welcome planets: there one walking. Soothing it shall it lay     as one smart. And I’ll steal away, come to the dear. Vanished,     and all the walking to do, save him farewell, and Love lived     under why should win my

               Second Stanza

               Third Stanza
But woman laugh’d and strong, and rot,     with that day. The out of Darkness numbered not the stroke of     eight and dark confess—I

The Ghilani tend to live in wet, plant-rich places, mainly swamps, fens and bogs. Due to their slick, moist skin, they seek out habitat that is constantly damp or has plenty of available water sources. They like territory that has a ton of vegetation and mud, which they use to construct their homes and hunt prey. Their houses are more like burrows, with each individual creating an underground living space out of mud, root and vine. Most living structures are partially buried, giving their villages the look of a town that was drowned by a mudslide. Other structures that are used for food prep, storage, rearing, worship and livestock are built above ground to make more space. Due to their love of dampness and mud, very few of their structures have water-proof roofs. The only places that aim to keep out water are structures used to store food, and places where livestock and other species may dwell or mingle. If you were to look at a Ghilani, I am sure you could instantly guess who they are related to. Indeed, the Ghilani are leeches and they share many traits with them. Their skin is segmented, and is covered in a damp membrane that secretes mucus. They possess no bones in their body, which makes them incredibly flexible. They can expand and contract in ridiculous ways, making them second only to Slimes when it comes to squeezing into tight spaces. This incredibly bending and stretching can be seen with their arms and "legs." The arms of a Ghilani are broad and flat, ending in four suction-cup like fingers. Though they do not possess an actual thumb, their boneless nature makes such a thing obsolete. These arms can swell and stretch in many ways, but they often remain flat to help with wrapping and binding prey. Being hugged by a Ghilani is quite like being wrapped up in a thick wet sheet! Their "legs" are more like tentacles that split from their lower end. While they possess two of these tendrils, they are capable of sticking them together into one serpentine limb. This is meant to help them traverse a variety of environments, as the two tentacles can help with climbing and holding on, while the singular limb helps with speed. To add to their appendage arsenal is their long, trunk-like mouth, which can serve as an extra limb in a pinch. Packed with sensors, it also serves to track prey and communicate. When Ghilani wish to truly speak to one another on a personal level, they may touch trunks or wrap them around one another. To go with their sensitive snouts are six eyes that line their heads. These organs are meant to greatly expand their field of vision, especially when contorting into strange poses. On their bellies are a hollow "mantle" which is used to suction themselves onto a surface, or carry bundles of goods. Looking at their sides, you can spot breathing holes that aid their skin in respiratory functions. It is through these that they also speak, able to use air and muscle to simulate a voice that we auditory-centered creatures can understand. For coloration, they can vary wildly, but a majority of them are made of browns, greens and other dark colors, which help them blend in with their surroundings. With all that together, you have an extremely flexible creature that can climb any surface, traverse any obstacle and nab any prey with their many powerful limbs. Due to their relations with leeches, you probably already guessed what they feed on. Blood makes up a good chunk of their diet, which is consumed with the aid of their long, flexible mouths. If you have ever seen a Ghilani, their trunk-like mouth is probably the first thing you noticed. At rest, the long appendage is coiled up under their head so that it doesn't get in the way. When it comes time to hunt, feed or communicate, it will unfurl to its full length. Though quite long, their mouth is only on the tip of this trunk, splitting it into a three-lobed orifice. On the inside of these fleshy petals are tiny razor sharp teeth, arranged much like a saw you would see at a sawmill. Though hardly visible, they can easily slice through skin and rinds, which allows them to reach the tasty fluids within. In fact, they are so small and sharp that their cuts are painless, which helps them feed without alerting or waking prey. In the middle of these toothy petals is their actual mouth, which is no bigger than the shaft of a quill. This little mouth will clamp onto the wound and slurp up the blood that leaks out. To help gain the most from its meal, their mouths secrete a saliva that prevents blood from clotting, so that their food does not stop until they do. With their mouth poised on the tip of this prehensile trunk, they can feed in a variety of different ways. In some cases, they may use this appendage to sneak up on sleeping beasts and nab a quick meal while they slumber. It can also snake its way through burrows and tunnels to nab hiding prey, and even coil around squirming targets to keep them from escaping. Be they high or low, the Ghilani can use their amazing mouths to reach any morsel. While one may think that this means no animal is safe, the Ghilani actually have a wider diet than you would believe. When it comes to their diet, one of their biggest staples is blood. This fluid is consumed from both the living and dead, though they prefer to eat it as fresh as possible. To acquire this food source, there are two different options: hunting or harvesting. The "hunting" option means going out in the wilderness and tracking down live prey. Groups of three to four will depart and use their acute senses to pick up scent trails and pheromones. Slithering silently through mud and water, they stalk their targets and decide which course of action to take. For larger creatures, they may choose to wait until it is distracted or sleeping and use their trunks to sneak in a quick drink. This option only satiates those who are actively hunting, which doesn't help the folk back home. If prey is manageable, they may choose to either kill it or capture it. Beasts that are too dangerous or risky to capture alive will be killed, and their carcasses will be taken back to the village for draining. Those they can manage will be taken alive, as they prefer to keep the blood as fresh as possible. Since they are hemophages, many people imagine that they use sharp blades and razor weapons to slice, cut and gut. Surely a bloodsucker would want to get as much precious fluid outside the body as possible, right? Wrong, actually. The truth is that the Ghilani want to keep as much blood as they can inside the target, as the stuff that leaks out will be wasted. So instead they seek to dispatch prey as quickly and cleanly as possible, to prevent any wasted blood. With that in mind, their weaponry revolves around keeping prey in one piece. A good chunk of their weaponry will be blunt, which they can use to knock prey out or stun them. Pulverized critters will not leak as much blood as chopped up ones! The other type of weaponry they use is designed to snare and tangle targets, which helps to either catch them or slow them enough for a kill. Ropes, nets and vines will be used to snare prey and pin them down, which gives the hunters time to either feed or tie them up for transport. One favorite weapon of theirs is called the Snare Staff, which is pretty much a stick with a loop of vine or rope at the end. The loop size can vary, and some are even adjustable, while the staffs are designed so that they can be wielded with one or two hands. The purpose of this tool is to catch the head, neck or limbs of prey within its loop, which is then twisted to form a tight noose. With multiple hunters, they can eventually snare every thrashing limb and pin prey down. While this sounds painfully simple, Ghilani use this tool with deadly efficiency. Since they want to prevent bleeding injuries, they will kill prey through other methods. If they can get a loop around the neck, they shall tighten it until they strangle the target. For larger prey, they may snare its limbs and force it towards a body of water. There they will use their tools and nets to force its head underwater where it will drown. Horrible as it sounds, it does save a lot of blood! And I must say that the hunters are well trained with the Snare Staff! I tried to wield it myself, but the floppy loop was just too hard to control and predict while I was swinging it around. The same could not be said for my trainer, you used their staff to yank me off my roots mid-step! They disarmed me in seconds and the next thing I know I was bundled up like a present! Definitely not my proudest moment!  
The other option they have for gathering blood is harvesting it, which is done with livestock that they keep in their villages. They keep them much like how one would keep pigs or nectar cows, but instead of meat or nectar, they harvest blood from them. In some cases, a Ghilani may feed directly on the animal with their mouth, just grabbing a quick bite to fill their tummies. At other times, they may cut the animal and drain some blood into a bowl or pouch, which will either be eaten later or mixed into something else. For both of these, the Ghilani will only take a small amount, never enough to truly harm the animal. They wish to keep their livestock alive and healthy for as long as possible, so that they may gain more food over time. At first this may seem barbaric and cruel, but they take good of their livestock and make sure that they stay happy and healthy. Taking too much or mistreating them will often result in sickness or infection, which means bad blood. The livestock they keep will vary, but they are often large bodied animals that are herbivores or omnivores. Prey that is captured during hunts will be kept in a similar fashion, but they often do not live as long. This is usually because they are not adapted to a domesticated life or they cannot be efficiently cared for. Regardless, they shall keep them as long as they can, and when they notice that the animal is declining in health they will put it down. When old livestock or captured prey are slaughtered, all their fluids will be drained out and the bodies will be carved up to gather meat, bone, shell and hide. Though this is how they obtain blood, it is not the only way they gather food, as Ghilani feed on other fluids as well. With such a small mouth, the Ghilani are incapable of chewing and eating solid food. Rather, they fill their diet with a variety of liquids and juices. The bones of prey that are not being used for tools will often be boiled to make broth. Outside of blood and bone, Ghilani also feed on certain fruits and vegetables, which they pulverize into a juice. Worms and insects are consumed as well, and they too are mashed into a paste. In short, the mortar and pestle are a common tool in a Ghilani household. A wide variety of foodstuffs can be mashed down into a liquid, which they either slurp from a bowl, or store it in a "drinking skin." These drinking skins are much like water skins, but they hold much more than water. They are crafted from harvested organs and hide, and the Ghilani pour their liquid concoctions inside for later consumption. If they ever travel, they shall carry several of these canteens with them, as that is the only way they can store their food. While blood does make up a good chunk of their diet, Ghilani do enjoy the taste of other things. Certain juices and mixtures are favored purely for flavor, as they pose no nutritional benefit. There are certain concoctions that they cannot even digest properly, but they shall drink it and spit it out so that they can get the taste in their mouths. Such drinks are consumed with a spittoon close at hand, but the muddy floor will be used if one isn't available. In their villages, they have trained brewers who mix up soups, juices and even potions out of gathered ingredients. It is a role that creates a food and drink for the town, but it also doubles as a healer with their wonderful potions and concoctions. Another chunk of their diet comes from an unlikely source, and one that is a more recent addition to their menu. To properly talk about this, we should mention what Ghilani do with the meat of their harvested prey and livestock. As you can imagine, their mouths are incapable of chewing and tearing flesh, which makes meat rather useless for them. After it is harvested, they pound it, knead it and wring it the best they can to extract every drop of blood and juice. What is left is inedible for them, so they find different uses for them. If they keep omnivores as livestock, the meat shall be given to them as food. Some can be used as bait for traps and snares, luring in juicier prey. A good chunk is actually dried and cured into jerky, which they trade with other species. It may sound odd to trade jerky for other goods, but the Ghilani produce so much of it, that other settlements cannot resist getting a piece. Any who are hungry for meat will never be disappointed when they visit a Ghilani trader, and they are a good way to quickly stock up for a long trip or coming winter. Just be wary that it might be a little tough and chewy, as they are good at getting every drop of moisture out of it. Though the Ghilani still get a good amount of use from their dried meats, they still wondered if there was a way to make it edible for them. Well, that is where "Souper Juice" came in (quite the name, eh?)! The creation of this beloved juice supposedly started down south, in Ghilani villages built within tropical rainforests. It is said that these Ghilani one day stumbled upon a pale village that hung from the trees, inhabited by those of false faces and many limbs. Curious, they slithered their way in and searched for anything useful or edible. It was there they made an amazing discovery. Hanging from the branches were pale, sticky pods, which the Ghilani quickly cut open. Inside was a sight to behold! Entire carcasses being turned into soup! Flesh and organs melting away into a delicious drinkable slurry! The Ghilani couldn't believe their eyes when they saw it, and they quickly rushed home to spread the news. Later, a whole raiding party went to the village, where they found it to be very populated and very unwelcoming. It was here they met the Gralatars face to face, and things were quite tense. The Ghilani asked the spiderfolk how they achieved such an amazing feat, as surely it had to be some special magic. What was revealed instead was that the Gralatars used special digestive fluids to break down flesh into a soup that they slurped up. The revelation blew the Ghilani away and they immediately sought a way to harness such a thing for themselves. This is when the first incarnations of "Souper Juice" appeared. It started with them trading with the Gralatars in order to gain access to small portions of digestive fluid and the occasional webbed up corpse. With time and experimentation, the Ghilani soon created a recipe for a special mixture that they could make themselves. Now when these leechfolk hunt prey, they be sure to collect the animal's stomach acid and bile. They also keep an eye out for prey that secrete similar digestive fluids, like Ogre Spiders and Sarcorasil, so that they can harvest it and add it to their mixture. Following their secret recipe, they mix these fluids and other ingredients to create something known as "Souper Juice." With large quantities of this juice, they will stuff prey into water-tight pots and containers, add the Souper Juice and then seal it up. Over time, the fluid will melt the carcass into a drinkable soup that the Ghilani can then enjoy! This invention was quite the revolution for the Ghilani, as they now created a new source of food for them. It is said that Souper Juice is responsible for population booms within their villages, as they now had another way to feed their masses. Even with this juice on hand, they still cannot consume all the meat that they harvest. The juice takes a lot of ingredients to make and a good amount is needed to fully liquidize a body. So a good portion of meat is still used and sold, but they can at least now enjoy in the spoils! And with such a rich slurry, any small bit of it is enough to nourish them for a long time! One special thing to note is that with this grand creation one should never use the word "super" around a Ghilani. The reason is that the word "super" sounds exactly like "souper," and the Ghilani will always assume you mean the latter. Since Souper Juice is such an important and amazing thing, they will always assume you mean "souper," which leads to many confusing arguments. I am not saying anything bad will come from using the word, just expect to get stuck in a ridiculous situation where you desperately try to explain what you mean to a confused leech.     Like many leeches, Ghilani are hermaphrodites, possessing both male and female reproductive organs. It is a situation similar to dryads, where any member of the species can fertilize or carry offspring. The difference, though, is that while a majority of dryads identify as female, most Ghilani don't identify as any gender at all. Very rarely will you see one who goes by "he" or "she," with most of them sticking with "they" or "them." For reproduction, any member of the community may breed and carry eggs, but is often a selected group who will actually take part in such an act. Every year, the leaders of the village will select individuals from a lottery, and they will be the ones who make up the year's breeding group. All will mingle with one another, intertwining their bodies during the act. When it comes time to lay, each Ghilani will lay dozens of yellow, squishy eggs. These small eggs are wrapped into a clutch with mucus and carried within the flexible mantle of the birther. For weeks, they shall be cared for, making sure they are kept moist and safe. Once they swell to a large size, the eggs will be deposited into a protected pool within the village. All the breeders will add their eggs to this body of water, and the whole village will watch over them. In time, the eggs will hatch and the larvae will be released into the water. It should be noted that not all eggs will hatch, as a good portion will fail to properly develop. These failed offspring, though, will serve as a source of food for the larvae, who shall latch on and feed. When these are depleted, the adults will fill organs to bursting with blood and place them in the pool as a replacement. As the larvae grow, the villagers will introduce actual prey to the water, showing the young how to properly eat. Despite hundreds of eggs being laid and dozens of young being birthed, only a fraction will actual survive to fully exit the rearing pool. So much so that young Ghilani will not receive their names until they emerge from the waters. This surviving group is then taken in by the elders and they begin their schooling. The process of birthing and raising young is something that is undertaken by the whole village. Very few Ghilani actually know who their parents are, and many do not find such a fact important. The parents also are not attached to their young, as the whole village acts as guardian and teacher. The term "family" is something that they apply to their whole town, or to whatever groups they live with. Ghilani also don't really observe the idea of "siblings," as they come from an unknown variety of parents. The only real connecting thread between such individuals is what year they were born. Even then, they do not use numbers to denote such a thing. Rather, such groups are referred to as "clutches," and if you were to be born from the same "clutch" as another member, than the two of you are "clutchmates." To differentiate between clutches, each one is given a title by the overseeing elders. These names often reflect what happened during that breeding season, or any important events that occurred during the year. For example, one year could have the "Clutch of the Singing Waters" due to the massive boom in frog populations during the spring. Another could be called the "Clutch of the Pale Reeds" if the local pond vegetation contracts a terrible fungal infection. Such titles vary wildly between villages, and there are indeed instances of overlap or duplication. The Ghilani answer to this is "so?" as they don't really view such a thing as important. Survival and well being of their town and young have higher priority over such frivolous things. This is apparent when it comes to naming a clutch and the elders find that the breeding year has been extremely uneventful. The best example I can think of is the "Clutch of the Inquisitive Tree." While I remember the weeks I spent in that Ghilani village quite fondly, I really didn't expect such a result. Apparently my visit and stay was the most eventful thing that happened that year. I am quite honored, but does that make me their honorary mother? I am not sure what to say to that, but I don't think I can take care of that many larvae! I already have my hands full with one sapling, and don't know if I can manage with any more! Anyways, I am sure my description of their child rearing practices may have given people the wrong impression of them (that and how most people freak out over the whole blood-drinking thing). While that may make them seem uncaring and callous, Ghilani are actually quite nice and are always happy to lend a hand. Since they see their town as a single family, they each take it upon themselves to perform their duty and insure that they do their part. No one is left out and no one is forgotten, as each member of their community is just as important as everyone else. They find their roles within the village and take those jobs to heart. Be it a hunter, farmer, elder or brewer, each Ghilani plays a vital part in their community. This mentality of working together and supporting one another is what makes them surprisingly friendly to outsiders. While some may assume hemophages to be violent and bloodthirsty, they greet each traveler and stranger with warmth. When I inquired about this, they explained that each visitor that arrives is capable of bringing something to the community, no matter how big or small. Be it food, knowledge or morale, every stranger can potentially be a blessing and could even become a part of the town itself. With that in mind, it would be foolish and harmful to the community to turn away others or meet one with anger. I find that mentality quite lovely, though a part of me suspects there may be an extra bit of reasoning behind it. The reputation of the Ghilani is not a good one for many blood-filled species, and paranoia has led to many unfortunate incidents. I kind of think that the Ghilani may be taking a more warm and open approach to those who somehow find their towns in hopes of quashing these fears. I certainly respect that and I hope more people learn that these fine fellows are not the monsters they think they are. The time I spent with them was quite wonderful, and they were happy to take me in and teach me their ways. I got to join in on some of their hunts, help brewers prepare special potions and soups, watch the rearing of their young and so much more! I even got to try out their soups and juices, which was quite interesting, though not exactly my taste. At one point I tried to live off the Ghilani diet to see what it would be like, but I had to call it quits after four days. The amount of blood was a little much, and some of their soups were much too strong for me. That, and an all-liquid diet does some weird things to your digestive system. To the outside world, the Ghilani are a race that is often met with suspicion and paranoia. Their hemophage ways have led to people instantly labeling them as "vampires" and "parasites" (do take mind that calling a Ghilani a "parasite" is highly offensive. Not only does it label them as something lower, but it also implies that they rely on others to survive and don't pull their fair share). Certain settlements will not let them enter, and others set strict rules upon them if they do visit. In these cases, the Ghilani are banned from certain sections of town, they are not allowed near livestock and they cannot stay after dark. I have even heard of people sending the Convent of the Holy Blood after traveling bands of Ghilani! How horrible! They aren't vampires, you imbeciles! Thankfully, not all races are terrified of them. Due to their preference in habitat, Ghilani often run into Marsh Dryads and the two coexist quite happily! There are even a number of towns that are a mix of the two communities, fusing their villages together so that they can aid one another. The Ghilani are also in good standing with the Gralatars, which may be a result of their trade negotiations from long ago. Though the two don't often live together, they respect each other's territory and are always happy to trade or hold celebrations. And lastly are the Slimes, who really don't know what the whole "blood-drinking" fuss is about. To be fair, the Slimes don't have a beef with anyone, so I guess that isn't saying a whole lot. Still, it is nice to see people who don't give into tall tales and panic. If people were to give them a chance, you would see what good they can do! I mean, when it comes to potion brewing, the Ghilani are second to none! They know how to mix up some amazing things, and that applies to plain old brewing as well! They make some drinks that would blow your bark off! The only thing that I drank that was stronger was some Metnalan Seared Mondmilch during my Underworld visit! I blacked out after half a mug and when I woke up I saw every color backwards and I couldn't taste for two days! Stories aside, Ghilani are also great healers as well. It appears that their sensitive snouts and acute senses allows them to pick up on thing many may miss, and their salves are some of the best around! Their mouths are perfect for medicinal bleeding, and those treated in such a way rarely ever get infections. Not only can they suck bad blood out, but they have learned a technique of putting stuff back in! Apparently the Ghilani have a way to get medicine and salves through the skin and closer to the source of the problem. They take whatever potion they want to administer and draw a small portion into their mouths. They will then latch onto the target location, cut open the skin and slowly feed the fluid into the open wound. It may seem unsettling to many, but there are those who swear by it. I can certainly believe it! The Ghilani are quite crafty and they can come up with some amazing things! For example, when I was staying at the village, some of my friends introduced me to an infused mud bath! They took thick muddy waters and mixed in a variety of potions. The mixture caused it to heat and bubble, and it also introduced an invigorating sensation as you soaked it all in! I never felt so youthful after a bath like that! It was incredible! And yes, I am aware that it was just a pool of mud with stuff poured in it, but you had to be there! You're just jealous!         Chlora Myron Dryad Natural Historian --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEECH PEOPLE! YEAH! Ever since I saw people draw up leechfolk, I have wanted to join in on the fun. The trick, though, was coming up with a design that was unique enough. So I did my research and decided to forgo the fangs and teeth and go for something a little different! I love their goofy faces and I am so happy with their colors! Hope you guys like them! And this how you start the year! An essay of backstory about a monster species that took me hours to write! THIS WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT HERE, PEOPLE! HOPE YOU LIKE READING!

Reunited - Fenhawke fluff
So myself and the lovely @becauseofthesesouls​ / @unknownjenmun​ have done a bit of Fenhawke fluff, hope you enjoy! After a long day of adventuring, where is the place Hawke wants to be? Well, first, with Fenris, but second, in the Hanged Man with a drink in his hand... Gathered in the familiar dinge and dirt of the Hanged Man, Garret Hawke and his friends howled in laughter around a table of Wicked Grace as Merrill yet again showed complete lack of understanding to Isabela's insistent flirtation against the innocent Elf. Hawke stumbled back from the bar with a round of drinks, and when he sat down, he more fell down, ending up half on Fenris' lap, grinning at the white-haired elf. "Oooooh hello handsome!" Hawke grinned lecherously through slurs. Fenris turned to the other man and put his cards down on the table, turning to Hawke, looking unimpressed.
"You're drunk, Hawke", he pointed out the obvious. "Don't you think you've had had enough for one evening?" he continued, his voice a bit softer as he reached out to stroke the man's hair briefly, forgetting for a brief moment they were not alone. "Absolutely not!" Hawke grinned, "Especially when I'm sitting next to the most handsome man in the room!....Besides me." Hawke grinned widely, taking another deep swig of a drink "You're definitely had enough", Fenris retorted with a small smile and shook his head, taking a sip of his own drink. "I see not even all the alcohol in the bar is enough to diminish your confidence..." "Oh it increases his everything." Aveline replied to the situation distastefully, sipping her drink far more measuredly. "Everything?" Fenris asked and arched his brow, looking at Hawke thoughtfully. "At any rate, I'm out", he suddenly said and revealed his cards. "Oh baby!" Hawke replied, suddenly hugging at Fenris, "I'll win for you." he grinned "My hero..." Fenris retorted dryly, though despite his sarcasm, leaning into the hug. "But even more than victory, I'd appreciate it if you just finished the game quickly. It's a long walk back to Hightown, and I think you need to get into the bed", he muttered more quietly. "Oh come on do you have to always spoil the fun?" Isabela asked, grinning as Hawke leaned on Fenris with a complete lack of subtlety, her eyes dancing mischeviously between the pair, only recently reunited. "The last time Hawke was this drunk, we were attacked by a gang", Fenris pointed out, before leaning to whisper into Hawke's ear. "And who says the only way of having fun is playing Wicked Grace?" Hawke's eyes went wide and he grinned. "On second thoughts....maybe my delicate flower is right...I'm pretty tired...and we all know Varric has won this round." He chuckled, as Fenris narrowed his eyes and took a hold of Hawke's scruff. "Your what?" he asked, his voice dangeously low. "What part of me exactly is delicate?" "Your pretty eeeeyyeeess" Hawke grinned, to which Isabela choked a laugh into her drink. "Definitely drunk", Fenris sighed and finished his drink, trying to hide the blush on his cheeks. "Shall we then?" Hawke just nodded, making puppy dog eyes at Fenris before he stood and sketched the most elaborate bow he could without falling over, although he almost did, leaning heavily on the warrior beside him. "Adieu, Adieu, parting is such sweet sorrow! Later guys!" he grinned. "You'll see them tomorrow, Hawke", Fenris pointed out, though did make his own farwells to the group as well before helping Hawke out of the tavern. "Perhaps I should just drop you on youe uncle's place, that is closer", he said teasingly. "NnnooooOOOOOooooo!" Hawke whined miserably "Why not? Didn't you say you were tired?" Fenris continued to tease Hawke, but then kissed the man's jaw softly. "Mmmm...You don't wanna take me back to Gammy-Wammy's..." Hawke pouted, eyes dramatically widened. "No, I don't", Fenris replied, starting to walk towards the Hightown. "But I do want to get you into a bed." "Oh I'll bet you do." Hawke grinned, to which Fenris quickly rolled his eyes. "To sleep, Hawke", Fenris huffed. "I don't think you'd be up for much more in your current state." "I resent that remark!" Hawke declared as the ascended the stairs out of lowtown to the square, now empty and cool for the time of night. "You won't probably even remember it in the morning..." Fenris muttered, looking around the empty square. "I resent that remark too." he pouted as they went through the streets, nearing both their homes. "I'm sure you do, Hawke", Fenris replied with a small, fond smile. "You should come home with me." Hawke grinned "I will, but only to make sure you actually find your bed", Fenris retorted. "Aww come on....don't be a spoil sport!" Hawke teased, grinning lecherously. "I'm not, I worry about you", Fenris said quietlly. "Oh..." Hawke faltered as they reached the door to his Estate "See? You can barely stand", Fenris sighed, wrapping his arms around Hawke's to support him. Grumbling good naturedly Hawke wrapped his arm over the elf's shoulders as they made their way inside, the Dog making a gentle woof at their return Fenris reached out and petted the dog briefly, hoping the animal would be smart enough not to start barking. He doubted Hawke's neighbours would appreciate that. "Are you able to get upstairs, or should I just leave you on the couch?" Fenris asked. Hawke suddenly looped his arms around Fenris' neck, hugging the man tightly. "I worry about you too..." he mumbled suddenly, and without context. "Why? I didn't drink nearly as much as you, that's obvious", Fenris frowned. "I worry about you always." Hawke told him, and at that, Fenris was quiet for a moment, looking at Hawke with an unreadable expression. "You don't have to worry about me", he finally said with a soft voice. "I do....I want to." Hawke told him. There was no sarcasm, and even the smell of alcohol couldnt detract from how much he obviously meant what he was saying, "We... should get you in bed", Fenris said quietly and turned his head away as he felt his cheeks blush, his heart starting to beat a bit faster. "Fen...I care about you. You..." he trailed off, seeing Fenris's tension. "And I care about you, amatus,” came the reply, “but I am capable of taking care of myself", Fenris pointed out gently, turning to look at Hawke. "Sorry..." Hawke mumbled lamely, loosening his grip on the other man before dropping his arms all together. The Dog whined up at him and Hawke glowered. "No that would not help." he replied tartly to the animal, who scoffed at his owner and lay his head back down onto his paws. Fenris tried to keep his expression neutral, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, already missing Hawke's arm around him. "You don't need to be sorry", he said quietly. "I care about you so much....I thought you'd never come back..." Hawke muttered suddenly. "Hawke..." Fenris started, stroking the man's arm briefly. "If you want to talk about it again... we should wait until you are sober..." Hawke pouted but he nodded grumpily, staggering slightly towards the stairs. If Fenris didn’t want to talk, then he wouldn’t. "Hawke..." Fenris started, but suddenly didn't know what to say. "Will... you be alright?" Hawke looked back at Fenris and his eyes seemed heavy, tired with years as well as weariness. "I hope so..." he chuckled weakly "Hawke... is there something the matter? Something you haven't told us, told me?" Fenris asked hesitantly. "I’m...I’m tired Fen. I just...I missed you so much." He finished lamely "Is that really all?" Fenris inquired, moving hesitantly closer to Hawke. "I wanted you back." he continued, peeling back layers of worry to his lover. "We've been through this", Fenris sighed, leaning against the handrail. "I thought you had forgiven me." "I have!...but...maker I missed you..." Hawke smiled, feeling in his voice and tears stuck in his eyes. "And here you are...in my house." "Of course. I will always be here if you need me Hawke",Fenris said what he hoped was reassuring tone, smiling slightly. "Stay." Hawke suddenly said, almost interrupting. "You mean, over night?" Fenris asked, his eyes widening a little. "Please..." Hawke murmured. Or forever...stay always... he thought, though didn’t say it...not yet. "I... suppose I could stay. But I seriously suggest you go to sleep instead of getting other ideas." "I just want you with me." Hawke replied, hands raised in surrender. "I can do that", Fenris nodded, smiling a bit more brightly. Suddenly Hawke sighed letting out a breath he didnt know he'd been holding as he took Fenris' gauntleted hand in his before there could be a change of heart, leading him upstairs. Fenris looked down at their joined hands, feeling his heart beat against his chest. "Thank you, Hawke", he said quietly. Hawke raised an eyebrow, looking at Fenris over his shoulder as he opened the door to the bedroom Instead of clarifying, Fenris merely stepped into the room and took out his sword, placing it to rest against the wall. Hawke smiled moving back and beginning to strip off his armour. "Want me to help you get undressed?" Hawke asked with a wink "If that is your wish", Fenris chuckled as he started to remove his gauntlets.*If?* Hawke thought to himself, almost chuckling. He was already topless and came over to Fenris, taking his hand into both of his, and slowly beginning to unbuckle the mans gauntlet. Fenris stopped what he was doing, letting Hawke to remove his gauntlets instead. "I see you're very effecient in removing your clothes", he noted jokingly to the dark haired mage, who chuuckled in answer. "I can be. Or I can do it slowly..." he dropped one gauntlet to the floor and took his other hand. "Really appreciate it..." he smirked, eyes running over Fenris’ skin. "As do I..." Fenris murmured, running his free hand down Hawke's chest. Hawke hummed lightly as he unbuckled Fenris' chest plate too, smiling with a warm expression beneath the flickering shadows of the fire place. Fenris reached out to take the other man’s belt off, running his finger over Hawke's family crest. "Hmmm" Hawke let out a shaky breath that he couldn’t help, allowing Fenris to reach around his back, sliding his hands up the elfs tanned arms as he did. Fenris shivered slightly as Hawke touched the markings that twisted up his arms, leaning closer to the man and pressing their lips together into a gentle kiss. "Fenris..." Hawke murmured between their lips as he cupped the warrior's cheeks in his hands, kissing him before leading him over to the bed. "I won't wake up with you gone, will I?" he asked. Fenris let out a heavy sigh at the question, looking at Hawke sadly. "I'm sorry... I should never have left. If I hadn't been such a coward..." he muttered, ashamed. "Just say you wont go now." Hawke half-begged...for the reassurance of them both. "I won't. As long as you’ll have me, I won't leave." "You'll be here a pretty long time" Hawke chuckled, smiling with relief as he drew them both under the covers. "Perhaps I don't mind that", Fenris retorted quietly, reaching out to stroke Hawke's cheek. "Good." Hawke muttered, pulling the man close and resting his head on Fenris's, planting a kiss on the elfs white hair as Fenris relaxed and closed his eyes, starting to nuzzle Hawke. "You are the only person in this world I belong to willingly", the former slave murmured fondly. "And you the only man more handsome than me." Hawke chuckled, unable to resist the comment. "I highly doubt that", Fenris retorted with amused tone. Hawke chuckled too, kissing his forehead again, and pulling him closer, tangled in sheets and limbs together. "I love you, Hawke", Fenris murmured sleepily, his voice barely audible. Hawke's eyes shot open again for a moment, then he let them slowly slide shut as a tear rolled down his cheek, unseen. "I love you too." Fenris didn't open his eyes, but his smile widened as he pressed himself more firmly against Hawke’s body, as the two knotted their legs together in sleep.
