January 2, 2024.
There are only a couple of days each year that Tumblr takes a date and makes a fraction. Today is one of those days. I just wanted to explain why the date is written the way it is.
I'm sure you've all been experiencing the end-of-year lists. Personally, I love them. It makes for easy music perusing. It also serves as a reminder for a few releases that may have slipped my mind during the normal avalanche of new music.
Mt. St. Mtn. (Sacramento, California) had an amazing release year, but somehow XDS "Bicycle Ripper" didn't get a post. The story of the formation of the band is great - Japanese drummer in Chico answers a want ad for noise maker. XDS has moved around (but are back in Chico, California), and toured a lot over the past couple of years. They've toured with Deerhoof (whom they also remind me of). At times, they have a sound reminiscent of Marnie Stern, Buick or Starlight Mints.

Perfect Little Vixen | Vox x Fox!Reader— OATSH
Tumblr media
Summary: You go into heat around Vox for the first time.
Warnings: 18+
You didn’t even notice when it began happening. Usually, you were much better at keeping track than this but things had been changing so much, it slipped your mind.
You’d just finished moving into a tower with Vox. You’d been unpacking and decorating and rearranging and collaborating to make this a home. You hadn’t even realized that what you’d been feeling and doing were signs of something else.
You had never lived with a romantic partner. You could barely remember the last time you’d moved. You didn’t have a lot of basis for what was and wasn’t normal in this context so perhaps that’s why it came up on you suddenly.
“You feel hot,” Vox said as he used the hand wrapped around your shoulders to touch your forehead.
He was normally cool to the touch when he wasn’t strung up into knots over something but now you felt a shiver come to you as you nestled closer to him. You placed your head in the crook of his neck and inhaled.
He smelled. . . so good. Mint and citrus, the same as always. Yet your teeth almost ached with the need to bite down on him.
Your mind went hazy. You pressed closer to him. You needed him. You needed to consume him, have him inside. . . Fuck.
The constant hands on him, the way you’d led him on the past couple days with teasing only to back out the last minute, the fucking nesting.
The bed was covered in blankets and pillows. You’d even sprayed a spritz of his cologne above the bed yesterday because it didn’t smell enough like him.
You’d never had a partner for this. Not one you cared about not killing in the process.
You jerked away from him and shook your head. His arms stayed in the air from where you’d pushed them off him. His fingers flexed, like he was about to reach for you. Then his arms fell to his side and he propped himself up.
“Are you alright?” he asked. “Should I call Rosie? A doctor?”
You shook your head. “I’ll, um, I’ll be fine,” you told him as you got up. “I just— would you trust Starlight to take care of Vark for a few days?”
He immediately went ramrod straight with tension. “What’s going on?”
You walked out the bedroom door. He got up to follow.
“Nothing, nothing,” you said.
Vark jumped up, hitting you right above the hip and you bit your lip to stop a groan of discomfort from escaping you as you guided his paws off you. Subconsciously you noted he needed to get his claws filed. They nearly cut you through your clothing.
“I can handle it myself,” you told him, “but I either need you to leave and take Vark or someone to come pick him up if you decide to stay.”
He grabbed your hand and pulled you close to him. You took a sharp inhale and immediately wished you hadn’t as you felt a different kind of heat begin to come to you than the heat radiating off your skin.
A small squeak left your throat. You closed your eyes as embarrassment came to you. You hardly ever lacked so much composure.
You bowed your head and let it fall against his chest.
“I’m going into heat,” you muttered.
“What?”
“I’m—“
“No, no, I heard you,” he said. “Demons can do that?”
“No, I’m just playing a prank on you,” you said in a deadpanned tone. Then in one almost yelling, you added, “Of course they can! You’re just a tech demon. You got lucky.”
“Uh-huh, sure I did,” he said. He brushed your hair out of your face and scratched at the base of your ears causing your legs to buckle. “You can call Starlight and have her pick him up. How long is this going to last?”
“Mmm, about three days.” You gripped his shirt tightly, wrinkling it into a fist. “Stop teasing me, Vox. I can’t take it right now.”
He laughed softly. “I’m barely doing anything.”
“You—“
You threw your head back with a groan and pushed away from him. You walked over to the refrigerator where some meat had been left out overnight to thaw. You quickly opened the box and dumped it into Vark’s food bowl. Then you grabbed Vox’s shirt and pulled him back into the bedroom, locking the door behind you.
“Hello.”
“Shut up.”
You pulled him down into a kiss. Kissing him was like kissing static, constant shocks in your mouth. They were cool, it was nice. His tongue was smooth and ran across the ridges of your mouth so nicely.
Fabric bunched between your hands.
“Off. Off. I need this off,” you said as you tugged at his shirt.
“Alright, alright, slow down for a second, baby,” he said.
You snarled and backed away from him as he undid the buttons of his sleep shirt. You quickly discarded your clothes with not even half as much care as he had for his own.
When your hands touched the exposed skin of his shoulders you moaned. He was so cool in contrast to you even as he was beginning to heat up.
You pulled him close to you, relishing in the feeling of his chest against yours, your hands on his back, his own on your waist, his claws brushing against the end of your spine and therefore the base of your tail.
You wanted to have him wrap his hands around it, see his deep blue contrast the lighter color of your tail. You wanted him to pull it. Tug on it as he. . .
You needed him.
You locked lips again. His teeth ran over your lips causing a tingling sensation. You fell back onto the bed, him atop you.
Your hands ran up and down his chest. You needed to feel every part of him. You needed to consume his very being.
“Aw, look at you,” he said with a chuckle as he palmed your breast. “So desperate.”
“Vox,” you said in warning.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you lack this much discipline,” he said.
“Vox,” your voice came out a bit more whiney. He leaned down and licked your nipple, a small shock coming with his tongue. “Oh, fuck me,” you said, completely breathless.
“Say you need me.”
“I— I need, mmm, fuck!” You threw your head back against the pillow as his claws scratched against your inner thigh.”
“I know you need to be fucked,” he said, punctuating his sentence with a harder scratch upwards that ended with his claws just barely ghosting your clit, “but who do you need to fuck you?”
“You.”
“Who?”
“Vox!”
“Yes?”
“Fuck me! Please! I need it! I need you!” you begged.
“Oh, baby—“ you moaned as you felt his tip drag through your folds and briefly linger at your clit, rubbing against it— “all you had to do was ask.”
He pounded into you. A quick, sharp movement of his hips that caused him to fill you quickly, instantly. It was your turn to scratch him. Blood began to bead down the trail of your own claws.
“Oh, fuck, Vox,” you said, eyes closed but seeing static.
“That’s it, doll.” His palm cupped your face. “Look at me. Come on, you can do it. Just look at me.”
You opened your eyes to see his face. He was blushing, a brightness to his screen that wasn’t usually there and static between his antennas which showed his fast heart rate before it ended in a heart.
“You’re so,” his voice trailed off. “Tell me you need me.”
“I need you,” you told him.
“Again.”
“I need you.”
“Fuck.”
He paused his thrusting to bury his head in the pillow above your head. His hands on your waist gripping you tightly.
When he pulled back there was a trail of red coming from his lips and his eye was spiraling without any power behind it. His heartbeat still fully on displace above his head.
His hands trailed down, causing your skin to twitch as a static path was made, from your waist to the bend of your knee.
“Spread for me,” he said with a small nudge. “Wider. Wider. So good for me, my precious little vixen.”
He moved so the bend of your knee aligned with his elbow. His hands grasped hold of yours. He thrust deeply inside you as he moved to kiss you. His mouth finding yours and he filled you entirely.
He started a deep, slow pace. He would drag out of you, letting you feel his cock pull against your inner walls as he left you empty. Then he’d piston back inside of you. He’d let you just get used to the feeling of him stretching your walls, his tip resting just at the wall of your cervix, before he’d start the process all over again, leaving you empty.
You squeezed his hands tight. Your head tilted back but you focused on him the entire time, even as your gaze with hazed.
“Mmm, Vox,” you said his name like a prayer as your legs wrapped around him. “You’re so good, so perfect. Just what I need. Fuck. You’re just what I need.”
“Say you’re mine,” he said.
“I’m yours.”
“Say it again.”
“I’m yours.”
He closed his eyes with a grunt that ended with a whine as he opened them again. “Please.”
“I’m yours.”
“Fuck.”
He rolled his hips against you. He came, filling you with what you needed. You felt the warmth spread inside you.
That feeling, that fullness, the twitch of him even after he’d given everything, the strain in your legs from their position, the sparks on his finger tips against your skin, the look on his face is what did you in.
You pulled him as close as you could. Your legs shook. Your vision went black. You were sure you screamed.
You were both spent.
Vox let your legs fall. His head went between your breasts as he panted, as you both did. His hands let go of your own and petted at your sides. He licked at your nipples causing you to whine.
He relented when you shoved him away.
He summoned a phone and punched in Starlight’s number.
“Come and get Vark. We’ll be occupied for the next three days,” he said before he hung up and pressed in a different number. “I’ll need the next three days off. I’ve been assigned a very special task from a very influential individual. I understand it’s last minute but—“
“Don’t move,” you said, voice nearly at a sob as he had shifted his torso to better grip the phone and therefore shifted inside you. You could feel some of his seed slip out of you and the thought alone nearly made you weep.
He grabbed your hand as he finished talking, “Its of the utmost importance.”
He hung up the phone and kissed you.
“I’m not going anywhere,” he said as he began massaging the base of your ears. Which had, for once, turned back fully able to admit submission.

Awoken Headcanons
note: this is mostly based on my own audacity rather than actual lore. 🤫
-
Earthborn and Awoken Guardians are like the book versions of LotR elves, while Reefborn are like the movie versions. They're actually similar, but to outsiders, Earthborn are friendly and full of life while Reefborn are aloof and elegant like their queen. This perception, though frustrating to people like Petra, generally works in Mara's favor so she allows it to continue.
Awoken Speech sounds more like creole than a separate language. This is due to the multitude of languages spoken aboard the Yang Liwei, which then carried over into the dialects in the Distributary. Although some argue Speech is a mixed language rather than creole, consensus from both the Gensym Scribes and Last City's Cryptarchy has not yet been reached.
Portmanteau examples:
daatma (ดาว/"dāw" + आत्मा/"ātman"): Awoken [older gen]
tulatma (tulay + आत्मा/"ātman"): Awoken [younger gen]
luxïn (luz + 星/"xīng"): starlight
noyam (noyer + يوم/"yawm"): Darkness
Traditional Awoken names usually sound "soft," with palatalized consonants and several vowels. The most common ending letters are "A" (Mara, Petra, Amrita) and "N" (Uldren, Jolyon, Nasan), while the most uncommon letter is "K" (Tulnik).
Most Reefborn are highly superstitious, due to the environment they grew up in. However they don't consider themselves superstitious, as it is only "practical" to refer to The Dreaming using epithets instead of names, or to look for omens in dreams, or to treat water and reflections as near-sacred, and so on.
Promises and vows / oaths are generally a life-long ordeal for Awoken, especially for Reefborn and especially if they are made to Mara. This is partly influenced by the post-Distributary riots, partly influenced by contracts with Ahamkara, and partly influenced by Mara's own charisma, which has created an almost religious devotion* amongst her followers.
*(Embarrassingly, when Calus sought to imitate this sense of devotion to lure Awoken Guardians to the Menagerie, he was partially successful.)
Balance is an important part of Awoken culture. Past and future and life and death are strongly emphasized by Reefborn, while Earthborn have integrated Old Earth philosophies like yin-yang and wabi-sabi. While Awoken Guardians tend to be less ardent about balance and/or a desire for it, there are noticeably less Awoken within the Praxic Order than in other Vanguard-affiliated organizations.
The Awoken don't believe in a physical afterlife, only the Unreal. This makes the existence of Awoken Guardians egregious to other Awoken, as they do not "return" from death, but rather "take form" of people who no longer exist. Even so, Guardians (or "Noble Dead") are still treated with respect - out of love for the ones they look like, and fear of the entities they are.
(Awoken don't believe in reincarnation either, as The Awakening is considered an "extraordinary" circumstance.)
Contrary to popular belief, male Awoken aren't ostracized in Reefborn society, and they aren't considered second-class citizens either. Even so, due to the 70/30 split [which has persisted since the Distributary], it is rare to see male Reefborn in high-level positions or as Techeuns. The perceived lack of opportunity has led to an increase in Reefborn emigrants in recent years, especially after the Battle of Saturn.
Due to the loss of resources and difficulties of growing food in the Reef, Reefborn dishes are "bland" compared to Earthborn ones. The most common seasonings are salt, cold-hardy herbs like mint, and corasteri (a star-shaped culinary variant of asphodelia). However, Reefborn food is both warming and filling, which is suited to a life in deep space.
The Dreaming City is surprisingly bare in terms of flora and fauna. Aside from pink asphodelia, queensfoil, baryon bough and memorial trees - most of which are cultivated - there are very few plants to be found. Spectral butterflies and non-native jewel bugs can be found in gardens and lost sectors, and starcats have free rein of the buildings, but there is no urban wildlife like in the Last City and Earth's metropolitan ruins. The vibrance is an illusion; it is as empty as the Reef's biodomes.
Earthborn do not live as long as their Reefborn counterparts; higher oxygen levels, increased gravity, and larger amounts of pollution make life more difficult for people adapted to space. Ironically, this is the inverse issue the Awoken faced when leaving the Distributary.
Awoken anatomy is uncanny if you look closely enough. Most traits fall within expectations (eg resistance to radiation, increased reaction time) but adaptations like tapetum lucidum can still startle people who aren't used to seeing them. Experimental traits, which are common in later-generation Reefborn, make some seem entirely inhuman. And the ability to track Guardians by their Light will never not be creepy.
Experimental traits include but aren't limited to: pointed ears; nictitating membranes (i.e. "third eyelids"); and genital slits [for Awoken specifically created for deep space missions].
Due to a history of bio-engineering, cybernetic augments are seen as unnecessary and rarely utilized outside of eutechs, and later, Techeuns. Fully robotic components, such as exo frames, are practically unheard of and often met with pity or revulsion.
The 891 are forbidden from seeking information about their lives from The Time Before (aka pre-Collapse lives), as it is considered a "distraction" from Mara's plan. Descendant Awoken are also discouraged from pursuing such info unless it is considered pertinent to their mission.
Queenslaw has been partially lifted in the Reef, due to the influx of Guardians after the Battle of Saturn. Many things once considered illegal or taboo are now acceptable, and some things are even encouraged. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with these "sudden" changes and it has done little to reduce tensions between factions, most notably the Gensym Scribes and the Last City's Cryptarchy.
-
Reefborn sobriquets often refer to relationships (Uldren "Queensbrother," Taranis "Rivensmate," Petra "Covensdaughter"). Earthborn nicknames are often more individualized but still invoke a sense of interconnectedness (eg "Swornsister" Takara, Avraam "Firstborn").
Although the Awoken are known for their music (for ceremonies, parties, mourning, etc.) Earth-derived music seems just as violent to them as the Guardians who enjoy it. Knowing this, RZ-3 intentionally made a playlist to "scare" Petra on missions, and has successfully startled several Corsairs by belting out the lyrics to "Teenagers" while doing patrols.
-
[official grimoire / lore books: The Maraid (D1); Marasenna, The Awoken of the Reef, The Dreaming City (D2, general); The Forsaken Prince, A Tangled Web, Ripples (D2, Uldren/Crow), Ecdysis (D2, the Emissary)]
[specific lore that Tickles My Brain: "Holdfast Bond," "The Supremacy", "Third Gift"; "Crow's Best Night"]

As he watched over you throughout the night, Ray could only feel one thing in his heart.
Regret.
Why did he ever think for even a moment that convincing you to drink the elixir with him would make you come to adore him even more? Sure, did he want you to be dependent on him? Absolutely. Ray wanted to be wanted. He wanted somebody to depend on him. What was so wrong with that?
It was his dream to feel like he needed to be strong, and he needed to be wanted.
He wanted somebody who could turn to him in a time of crisis and let him take care of anything instead of the other way around. 
He wanted you to turn to him for anything. But, that look of hurt and betrayal in your eyes stung… it stung so much that it broke past his desire to shake off his belief in eternal salvation. If you had only been asleep for a few hours, as was common, he might not have been as fearful, but you had been in and out of it for days, and the only time you awoke was when you felt sick. 
Why wouldn't you look at him with eyes that shined like starlight? Why were your eyes dull, cloudy, and foggy? He made the elixir in your hands had been as weak as it came... with hardly anything in that bottle to hurt you... but it was as if someone tampered with the bottle and gave you the force of an elixir he was forced to drink, and his elixir wasn't like the ones the others had.
It was worse.
How could Magenta be a paradise if you were in misery?
He kept his hands tightly clenched around yours, praying for the moment that you had enough strength to squeeze him back. The shallow air that drew into your lungs every few minutes stung, but what could he do?
This was the only place he could survive. Sure, you could live in the outside world, but he could never do that! Even if he tried with all his might, people would inevitably find out who he was and destroy him! He wouldn't know what to do with himself if you were hurt because of him.
Then again...
He only gave you the elixir because his Savior convinced him it was the only way to save you... It wasn't something he wanted to do. He didn't like the thought of you in pain. They didn't give him a choice, and he had to do it for your sake. If he didn't make the Elixir for you, they would have given you the worst of the worst.
That's what they made him believe, but now he wasn't sure if that was the case. 
You can't leave Mint Eye, the angry voice hissed with venom dripping in his words. We won't survive out there, and they'll leave you as soon as you drive out of the mountains! That's if they survive the recovery period!
"But if I don't try... [Y/N] will die."
