An Embellishment of Lore

I think as Fanfic writers, we often add lore to our stories. It is natural for us to build upon the pillars set for us. But what about the foundations, gravel and grit? What was a piece of Lore you added to Dragon Age that wasn't pre-existing?

I will provide an example of my own below from two chapters concerning the topic. CW for Blood and Violence.

Chapter 26: Disciples of Lust, Lies and Power

Solas’s eyes rested on the table as I deliberated, they presented in a hazy hues of purple and gray, like a storm churning on the black horizon. His mind was occupied by something, clouded over by a memory.

The corners of his mouth twitched into a deep frown before sliding back up into disgust.

“You have memories you’d aspire to forget…so do I.” He stated lowly as his hand hovered over the board.

“The Veil I suppose.” I surmised as I selected my next move based on his.

Solas plucked his Pawn from its dock at A6 and observed it, twisting the stippled token in his fingers.

“It was a grand spectacle when the Evanuris played chess, they didn’t use marble carved pieces such as these. They used slaves armed with weapons.”

I relented my gaze from the board to stare at him in growing unease, no longer able to concentrate as I listened to him continue.

“Swords for the King and Queen, lances for the Knights, daggers for the rest. There was so much blood one could no longer see the checked tile. Deleterious entertainment.” Solas set the piece down, his tone tempered with notes of repressed rage.

"Is that how you became so skilled?" I murmured, thoughtlessly. "Who fought on your behalf?"

"You don't know what you suggest." He growled, his fist curling around the table. "Countless lives were lost, lives spent as if they meant nothing, no one fought on MY behalf. Do not equate me to them."

“And yet, when the mighty veil comes crashing down, you’ll free them. Those that are so evil. What happens if they escape your vague plans?” I chided, smug that I had something to wield against his supposed perfection.

“They will never see the light of day.” Solas raised those churning eyes to my own.

Chapter 27: Two Queens

(Context: Moon'Hwa is cutting his hair)

"You asked me earlier when we played chess ...if I joined the Evanuris in their deleterious game.” He stated rather than asked.

I jumped, startled, and nearly took off my own finger.

He watched me curiously with a brow held in question.

I nodded slowly.

"I was one of the Pawns...then I became a Knight...then a King and then...something more."

"You were a slave?" I asked as gently as I could, trying to recover from my surprise, my tongue coiled around the last word hesitantly.

"Not exactly," Solas explained and finished with a sorrow-drenched whisper, "She asked me to fight."

"Mythal?"

Snip.

"Yes." He answered after a pause.

"...so, you had to prove yourself."

"Not to her. Them ." He hissed as if referring to them at all was akin to a heated knife slicing through flesh.

"You became something more? Did Mythal elevate you?" I probed, genuinely interested.

Snip.

"I ascended as a general to lead her armies against them. To give orders, strategies, and plans that ensured success. Victory canonized me as a god...as one of them."

“Is that when you discovered your magic?”

Snip.

“No, I knowingly carried it, but I did not wield it.”

Snip

“Even when you fought with weapons, why didn’t you take advantage of it? It would have been a boon.”

“ Pawns aren’t granted the use of the Fade. I couldn’t strategically put it to use. The Evanuris enjoyed watching the struggle. The sword was enough with my intent provoking each strike.”

The memory that his imagery conjured struck a chord in an already fracturing symphonic resolve.

“Pawns, although simple, can accomplish great things.”

How about you? <3

Did I go so far in building a world for my story that I created a whole language, alphabet and writing style?

Yes, yes I did. Anyway I'm going to start posting snippet of lore, I might even post the alphabet and some words and translations along with it. 🙃

The Premise

In a small, Victorian Era world known as Dardrudell, Magick rules above all else. It is said that all people have access to Magick, even the Spiritually Challenged, and can harness it to perform the Craft- the act of bending Magick to one's will. Magick affects every part of life, and those who practice the Craft are desired highly in the workforce, as well as in society as a whole. There is nothing anyone who is Spiritually Challenged can do that someone who practices the Craft could not do better, quicker, and with less effort… or so, that's what they say. All people possess a Spirit, the part of them that is tied to Magick and carries on even in their absence. Those who practice the Craft are said to have brighter Spirits, as their line to Magick is not muddled. Those who use the Craft illegally undergo a strenuous ritual that breaks or muddles their Spirits ties to Magick, making them Spiritually Challenged. From there, they are safe to place in prisons with those who do not practice the Craft.

Those who have Magick are almost 100% more likely to be accepted into Academies, the only form of higher education, after their 18th birthday. Most people are taught basic math, reading, writing, and home care until they turn 18, when everyone takes their Magickal Examination. Passing this examination proves you can use Magick, and forges a new life path for you. At Academies, those who can practice the Craft pick their focus, their Familiar, and are given a variety of studies to choose from. The many who fail their Magickal Examination almost never get into an Academy, and are labeled Spiritually Challenged. They spend their years working low paying jobs, struggling to afford food and shelter for their family members, and often live in the lower ends of cities desperately trying to make ends meet. Almost all homeless are Spiritually Challenged.

In the book, our story starts out with the young Evelyn preparing to take their Examination.

If interested in the possible tabletop roleplaying lore, stay updated for more, my dears. The "prepackaged" tabletop roleplay as originally planned begins after your player character has failed their Magickal Examination and been labeled as Spiritually Challenged. It has been determined you do not have a drop of Magickal potential in you, or at the very least, you don't have much. Almost two months later, right as you were settling into a life of hardship, you receive a mysterious letter addressed to you from an Academy you have never heard of, called Evanen Price. They promise to pay your way through this Academy, and teach you Magick- but only if you cut off everyone you have ever spoken to and move in to the Academy.

some lore for you screamed for so long perhaps? i read all 8 (at the time) chapters of that on a 3 hour plane ride it kept me going through quite possibly the worst turbulence i have ever experienced

I'm so sorry about the turbulence. :( That sounds un-fun. Fun fact, I haven't been on a plane since i was 18 months old. I have absolutely no reference for that irl, lol. XD

ANYWAY.

LORE FOR YOU SCREAMED FOR SO LONG WE FORGOT TO CARE ANYMORE <- link to story

i have been planning some form of this story since 2018. In the original version, there was a massive plague going on. I'll probably still write that version actually. It's different enough from this one that it can stand on its own two feet.

CHAPTER ONE:

I was inspired to start the story several months after Loki got there after reading a Darcy/Loki story on ff.net I never finished

""I don't want to be buried. Cremate me." He instructs, swinging his quiver across one shoulder. "Or drop my body from the sky for the dogs to pick at, I don't really care. I'll be dead." " -- this is 1000% based off of Shane Madej from Buzzfeed Unsolved loudly declaring how he wants a sky burial

CHAPTER TWO:

"The looming figure in front of him gives a curt nod, and something smacks him in the back of the knees, and he goes tumbling into suffocation all over again," -- In the end you will always kneel.

Actually, the above torture is a slow form of suffocation. Someone ties a rope around your neck and hands that are connected together and suspends you enough that you have to stand on your toes. When your feet come out from underneath you, the rope on your hands tugs on your neck until it tightens until you either suffocate or manage to stand upright again thus relieving the pressure.

----

"He feels the surge of intense, overwhelming heat against his already raw, blistered skin before he even feels the brand press against his back, burning into muscle, bone, anything and everything, and he wont, can't—pain pain pain pain—

He screams—

^^^^ the above scene is the source of THIS scar, "Some of the worst scars are white and puckering against Loki's back and they look older than all of this" (chpt 9) and it will be discussed in further detail later. It's actually very important to the story. All of the dreams are. Nothing was put in there "just because"

---

"Hill hates all of them because the fact they're on the same floor is her fault." --- rather than having Fury in charge of the Avengers, I decided that it would probably be more realistic if Hill was. Fury is a busy man.

---

I learned some Norwegian for this fic solely so I could know on a basic level when the sentences didn't make sense, lol. XD

---

"All of them have made an effort to learn how to learn with Loki's flashbacks, but the only people who have had any real success are Thor and Steve." --- This is because Steve looks like Thor and Loki's brain is not super great at telling them apart when he's a mess.

---

"Clint forces out a thin breath, then says, "Do you want a sandwich?"

There's a long lull as if Loki's struggling to understand him. Clint repeats the question."

---

I dreamt about you getting your back burned open.

BACK INJURY IMPORTAAAAANNNCCCEEEE lol. XD all of you would be exhausted if you know how much I've been trying to subtly state this.

---

Natasha and Clint are legally married in this fic and have been for several years, but I never make that explicit because it doesn't matter to either of them so it's not important to the narrative. They are, first and foremost, partners. (Natasha proposed)

---

"Natasha is quiet for a second, then she tags on, "Ya tebya khochu."

Clint chews on his bottom lip, "Ya tozhe khochu tebya,""

This is Russian for "I want you," and then "i want you too." I think it's a little bit more meaningful than I love you.

---

Clint doesn't remember being taken to S.H.I.E.L.D. for the first time. When Coulson dragged his sorry butt there for medical after Barney tried to beat him to death, Clint was unconscious.

I have spent so much of this fic paralleling Clint's relationship with his brother with Loki and Thor's.

---

"Beside that is, predictably, an open tissue box.

Clint doesn't know what it is, but he's never been in a S.H.I.E.L.D. conference room without one. It's like the janitorial staff is worried that a group of covert spies and government officials are going to spontaneously..."

I work in janitorial. There is an ungodly effort put into making sure the tissue boxes never run out.

----

"If you're done saying I love you," Fury looks pointedly at Steve and Tony, the latter of whom smirks. Steve buries his head in his hands.

I have a lot of internalized homophobia issues despite being lesbian, but this is my first gay joke in a fic and I'm really, really proud of it. I know it's not very good or even comes across as a joke, but I felt so proud putting it in here all the same. Acceptance of self is real, y'all.

---

when i was listening to this chapter as i edited it, the speech to text reader read "asgardr" as oosgar and it was really funny to me.

---

CHAPTER FOUR:

this was the first scene I wrote for this fic.

the Chitauri do not refer to Loki by any other pronoun but "it." this is an effort to dehumanize him. (NOT to say that those who go by it pronouns are not human, love you guys (gender neutral))

---

"You are weak, like a mewling, crawling baby animal. But don't worry, because where you failed, your not-brother will succeed." --- Am I making a pointed jab at how awful Mobius calling Loki a mewling kitten was? Yes.

---

(chpt 4 vs 8)

---

This is one of my favorite interactions in the story. Loki has been lying through his teeth about his feelings most of the fic up to this point and then Clint asks him and Loki tells him the truth.

Loki and Clint have a very strong bond, even then.

---

CHAPTER FIVE:

everyone got a specific name-sign in this chapter. Loki's is grumpy-L because he's a grumpy little guy. XD No, it's cause he's grumpy but the L stands for his name

---

"Karma coming to collect its debt." -- a reference to my friend @widowronin's SPN story.

---

"c"-- by his brother

"b"-- by the circus of crime and Coulson

derogatory -- by his brother and the circus of crime

---

Waaaaay too much of my writing was inspired by Buzzfeed Unsolved now. XD

---

^^^ this is actually referring to Frigga and Odin's relationship, not the chitauri

---

CHAPTER 6:

^^ reference to Vibranium

---

the actual plan for the cafeteria scene:

"The Avengers eat breakfast or something at the facility and the SHIELD agents are generally nasty to Loki. One of them starts a fist fight and Loki defends himself until the Avengers bodily pull everybody off and are like “no.” Loki is a little banged up, but nothing serious. Clint breaks some guys nose, though. Bruce looks him over and is visibly agitated. Says that the agents shouldn’t have hurt Loki. Loki’s like, okay, sure, but I did kill like, a lot of people, so they’re entitled. Bruce is like, “:/” "

---

this was intentionally framed like the beginning of Black Widow with Yelena. Thus to indicate that Natasha now sees Loki as a brother.

---

Loki intentionally says something unrelated to the situation to calm Clint down. yes, this was a reference to Clint and the sandwich thing. It worked so well then, why not now?

---

this is an important clue that will help us later

---

^^^ Gamora and Nebula

----

^^^ Loki dreams about Clint's brother trying to kill Clint. In the next chapter, Loki's brother tries to kill Loki. These scenes were placed on top of each other on purpose. NARRATIVE PARRALEL.

Also. by the gods am i projecting hard into this fic with clint and barney lol.

---

^^^ I still cannot believe that @worstloki made this for me, and then the post sort of blew up. Last time I looked it had like 250+ notes and LOTS of tags discussing how wonderful the story was. It literally floored me. I still am baffled and deeply humbled. Thank you.

---

CHAPTER EIGHT:

this scene was originally written from Clint's pov. I have it in a junk document somewhere. This is probably going to be Loki's only POV in the fic, but we'll see. I just though it would be really good to see Loki's thoughts about all of this, given how pivotal this moment is in the story.

----

chpt 8 vs chpt 5. DIRECTLY MEANT TO PARALLEL EACH OTHER.

---

^^^ this is the above meme. In the fic. You're welcome. XD

---

Parallel to the first thor, anyone??

as far as thor is aware in this scene, Loki just killed their parents and his world so the fact that Loki is actually worthy of Mjolnir is absolutely BAFFLING to him.

---

CHAPTER 9:

I made the executive decision that odin and Frigga's relationship is...strained, to put it mildly.

---

most of the time Siygn is a princess of some distant realm in fics, but no! she's queen here. XD

---

reminder!! "Far" is the formal way to address your parent in Norwegian.

---

Odin doesn't swear once in this conversation.

ALSO. Loki purposefully tries to intervene before giving up quickly because Odin and Frigga fighting is a common occurrence and he knows it's useless to stop it.

---

the way this chapter is set up is that you SEE what Odin and Frigga did to Loki with the flashback to Thor watching over Loki. You are supposed to think "Uh, wait a sec"

THIS is NIce?

for reference:

"Loki is thin, more a skeleton than a person, skin dragged against bone and pulled taut in some grotesque imitation of death. There are layers upon layers of gauze over Loki's entire forearms, covering up the horrible scars and stitches keeping his arms attached to his body. Beneath that is purpling and black bruises several inches thick encircling his wrists. There are open wounds almost everywhere in various degrees of healing, bones still bent awkwardly out of place that the doctors distastefully said they'd need to reset so it could heal right. Loki isn't stable enough for them to try yet."

but yeah. It was nice.

---

Btw, the title "You screamed for so long we forgot to care anymore" is NOT a reference to the Avengers.

It's Loki's thoughts to Odin and Frigga. Years of torture, of suffering and pain, of screaming, and they seemed to grow more apathetic to it with time.

I will probably reblog this with more thoughts once the fic is finished, but yeah. I have put a LOT of effort into this fic. And I am still baffled as to how it has so many people reading it. When the number processes in my brain every couple of weeks I feel horrified, lol.

Finally got around and finished Din’s ref sheet!

Din is the biological son of Akumu and Drake Kokuryuu. He is very strict on himself and limits his words but gets straight to the point. He expects a lot from his agents but sometimes, he tries to be flexible with them. He constantly finds himself learning how to control and properly communicate with others, thanks to his friends and his parents.

He grew up selective mute, due to the events of Silver’s battle at the White City. So, he was taught signs to help with communication but he only talks when Akumu (his mother) is around. It took him a very long time to actually start talking normally again.

Since he is a Prince of White City, lot of responsibility rest on his shoulders and many people expects him to be the next Ruler when Akumu and Drake steps down. So, he has a lot on his plate.

Six diamonds on his back indicates he has a connection the Red Zone, although he has no entity bonded with him at the time. He is also a natural born Guardian, which means he does not require an extra battery (the Core) as his body is naturally and constantly absorbing energy. Unfortunately, he does have a limit and he can only absorb so much energy at once. (Akumu can absorb nearly 5 times as much energy than she can hold.)

Give me some of the lore Ava!!!

Ahh! Thank you for indulging me and letting me ramble!

I finally was able to dig through and find the part without my google doc crashing!!

Keep reading if you enjoy learning really obscure history things! 🤗

Okay, so, I haven’t updated this story in literally a year so I don’t know why I’m so excited to share something about it, but!

I have a rather laborious amount of time into the story mechanics of The Dead Rabbit (which at this point I am doubtful I will ever even finish it. Other than me only one person knows the ending 😂) because it was the first fic for Peaky Blinders that I ever wrote, starting it before I finished the series 😬🥴 and it took me forever to decide what I was going to name this other horse. Tommy, being reincarnated as himself and trying to make things just so to fix his past, has renamed this horse Dangerous just like the previous one had been, but I needed a name that sounded just as interesting.

The name Fearless was actually relevant in two different ways to me at the time, one, I was watching Cowboy Bebop at the time and loved it and thought Fearless and Dangerous sounded good together, so I let it simmer for awhile, but, then I found one of my favorite war history stories was also tied to the name.

Long story short: some marines rescued a horse that they eventually promoted to Sergeant and named her Reckless because of her courageous behaviors on the battlefield, not only transporting ammunition more efficiently and quickly that human soldiers could, but also transporting wounded soldiers.

The Marines were told that they were going to have to leave her overseas in Korea, so of course, being Marines, they smuggled her back to the US on a Navy ship, and then also smuggled her through US customs after a customs officer said she had to be put down.

(The story is way more cool than this but I’m summarizing for everyone’s sake! They even took her to the Marine Corps ball, because she was a marine too. She also only liked human food and loved bacon and eggs.)

Sergeant Reckless then went on to have four foals, one of them being a colt that the Marines named Fearless.

The foal, Fearless, was eventually promoted to be Private Fearless.

I’m retrospect, I should’ve named the other horse Reckless; she was a pretty badass horse, and when the Marines got her settled at Camp Pendleton part of the orders of her residing there were that she was only to live comfortably for the rest of her days and was never to be ridden ever again.

(Fearless and Dauntless were both contenders for the pair as a duo in the story but then it lost the tie to history repeating and I only picked one new name. )

So, yeah, there’s a history lesson for today and a good example of why it takes me so long to write because I dig way too far for some little nugget that’s only going to be noticed once.

Yap Session™️ ahead ⚠️

wip, will fix later

cw: mentions of pdf filia

An important reminder :

Who I am is not important. Neither is how I died.

Another important reminder:

The girl is not the only victim in this story.

I've always wondered what happened to that girl.

The one who lived in a little yellow house with a brown roof on Plysmouth Lane.

The one who left that little yellow house many years ago.

The one who ran away to a wolf's den, who didn't even have to disguise himself to lure the poor sheep in.

I wonder if, when she ran to that big blue house with a stormy grey roof and lodged herself into the tangled mess that was Mike Cullens. He was quite the charmer, moved in one snowy winter and snuggled up in quite a few girls' beds. Including a multitude of women I knew. Not that I'd tell them of course.

A side note:

I do not mean what I say sometimes.

I lie.

I am a coward.

Mice do not believe in even glancing in the direction of confrontation. Unless it's with a grasshopper.

Another unfortunate fact:

I am terribly afraid of grasshoppers.

(If you do so wish.)

Please refer to the previous side note. I am a liar.

So I am meeker than a mouse and Mike Cullens is a player and a pedophile.

And so nobody stopped the pedophile.

Please forgive me, dear reader. I did not know he was what he was at first.

A small picture:

If you were to take a drone and place it above Plysmouth Lane, you would see the houses in this order.

Frau Prizella, the sloping red roof of her home blocked the beginning of the sunrise from my view. The Frannie's, a family made up of far too many people, one of the seven children will soon play an unfortunate role in the game of Mike Cullens. I, in the house I had always lived in. The Hedgeson's, a family who's house was tucked away in a far back piece of the forest Plysmouth Lane happened to be disrupting. In fact, the Hedgeson's were so tucked away that throughout my entire life I never even met the people once!

On the other side of the street, Mike Cullens', his big blue home Jessica Hewes, a porn star, and finally the Wolley's, an odd family that invited me over for dinner once. We had a ridiculously cheesy lasagna for dinner and the whole time Wesley, their son, stared at me.

It was a warm summer eve when the girl went. It was almost fitting, like a dandelion in the wind she escaped my ever reaching grip. I did not notice, at first, when she left. It took about a week, I'd say, before I realized her fate. I wondered for a good long year before I died. When I did, I awoke in the same place I remembered last. The spot where my father beat me to death. I do not care for my family now, my death only freed me from the terrible clutches of my dysfunctional family.

After I died, I wandered around aimlessly for a while. There was no point to life when you weren't alive so what was there to do?

after a few years, I stumbled upon the girl again. A shady town in Minnesota called to me. A stout ugly house sat secluded in the woods. That night a terrible storm raged; thunder and lightning dominated the skies as screams much quieter in comparison rang through the old house.

"Michael! Michael!"

The door burst open and an angry Mike Cullens stormed out into the pouring rain.

"What are you doing?!" The girl demanded, he ignored her. His keys made no noise as he got in his truck and drove away. Or maybe they did, thd storm made it impossible to know.

So Mike Cullens had left, and it was not just the girl.

Inside the little home, a young boy arranged colorful blocks happily.

MY CURRENT OCS

(all of them are still under development)

1. Veronica

Often called Vero. I don't know what was I thinking but I gave her VRNC as her alias. She/her, says she's heterosexual yet seems like bisexual. Her emoji representation: 📚☁️💭🍓🧃. She's reliable, discipline, studious, and determined. She's also spiteful, ambitious, strict, and expressive. She likes berries, fruit juice, reading books, listening to instrumentals, chill breeze. Doesn't like to be demanded for help, but she would help anyway. She hates grooming (has some bitter experience here). She usually dresses semi-formally, only wears casual clothes at home and, a little fun fact, she doesn't own gowns. (I'm still considering whether she'd have magical power or not.) She listens to any instrumental playlist she could find, with no particular preference.

2. Kafi J.

People knew him as Coffee. He/him, he has a little interest in romance but he still says he's heterosexual. His emoji representation: ☕🏆📚🪫💣. His nickname "Coffee" is given by Ziyu because Coffee consumes a lot of caffeine in daily basis, and it sounds similar to his real name. He's persevere, passionate, ready steady, and benevolent. He's impatient and sleep deprived. He is skeptical about anything which would only lead him to overthink. Honestly he doesn't want to drink coffee, but he needs the caffeine to keep himself awake during studying and shit. Just like Vero, Coffee dresses semi-formally. But Coffee would sometimes appear in casual clothes outside. He likes soft fur, cozy room, studying together, and warm waffles. He hates insects and useless people. He listens to Lauv and Daniel Caesar's songs.

3. Natalia

Known as Atan. She/her, heterosexual. Her emoji representation: 😜🔆🌌⏳🙌. Her nickname "Atan" is just her real name backwards (Aliatan), and take the last two syllables. She's spirited, decisive, generous, and precise. She's also outrageous, cheeky, a consequentialist, and sly. She likes to hangout, do homework (secretly), eat sugarcoated crackers, wear beanies, eyeglasses, loose clothes, and play with puppies. She hates scammers, imperative people, and loud noises at night. She plays a lot, but also studies a lot afterwards. Atan hangs out every day, whether with close friends or just friendly people she sees outside. She listens to korean pop songs, including Stray Kids and Wanna One.

4. Corylus avellana

Just call him Ory. He/him, bisexual. His emoji representation: 🌝💡👀🫧🤙. His name... Literally the Latin name of corkscrew hazel. Because he has natural fluffy curvy hair, just like that. He's fun, loyal, trustworthy, and imaginative. He's also sophisticated, lazy, naughty, and observant. He likes to wear baggy clothes, comb his hair with hands and not with an actual comb, walk around new places, watch movies and animes. He doesn't like reading books, working out, high temperature, and mean people. He hates liars and betrayals. He mostly wears casual outfits with oversized outerwear. He would be very obedient with the person he adores, aside from his rebellious behavior. He listens to pop songs in general.

5. Kheila

She/her, refuses to say but people believe she's bisexual. Her emoji representation: 🥰🕳️🔎💫🌹. She's charming, angelic, thoughtful, and persuasive. She's also apathetic, lowkey possessive, restrained manipulative, and careful. She likes subtlety, marshmallows, new hairstyle, accessories, cute outfits, fragrance, and cats. She hates discouragement, bullies, bad smells, and. harsh people. She is indifferent about her grades, yet always manage to stabilize them. She always seems collected and elegant. She is respectfully soft-spoken, polite, and well-mannered. Her voice is feathery and mellifluous. Although she's a bit enigmatic, no one questions about it. She listens to J-Pop and VOCALOID.

6. Ziyu Lee

People call him Ziyu. He/him, heterosexual, bi in denial. His emoji representation: ☄️🦞🔅👤🪹. He's softhearted, straightforward, tough, and aloof. He's also gullible, dicey, flexible, and tolerant. He likes warm tea, strawberry ice cream, spicy noodles, quokkas, and affection. He's a tsundere. He hates uncooperative people, lousy day, nosy people, and unclean stuffs. He always dresses neatly and clean, subconsciously looks chic and classy all the time. Sometimes his words and gestures don't match accordingly when he speaks. He's very closed about his private life. He listens to TV Girl and The Overtunes.

Writing lore is like building a puzzle and it's so hard to know how each part will fit together. It takes time and I get stuck in details or I can't see the whole picture. Sometimes I make it way too complicated.

Wallsete and Sinlet

Wallsete- This country is located North of Sinlet, and is mainly one larger mass in the shape of a bird, with a smattering of islands surrounding it.

Melsbury- The capital of Wallsete and located along the country's southern coast, Melsbury is a thriving city with tall, stacked homes that often contain numerous family members all living together in chaotic harmony. The entire city is tight, with narrow shotgun homes pressed close together, oftentimes above shops. The city is renowned for being the largest place of imports and exports in Wallsete, and is a tourist attraction for Sinlettes. Melsbury is also the only place in Wallsete with a known Academy, simply called Melsburian Institute.

Sinlet- A large country with vast terrain, Sinlet is the most explored land in all of the known Dardudell. It is ruled by Magick, more so than Wallsete, and is where most Academies can be found.

Prescott Valley- A small Valley town surrounded by woods. They are closed off to most outsiders, but are known for their simple ways and Prescott river, which is said to be so clean it can reflect one's future. It is home to the most renowned Academy in the world, Presdigenn.

Aexford- As city as a city can get, some say that most of Aexford's population are homeless, and the rest are just kidding themselves. Most of Aexford is falling apart, and the city can hardly support itself without an Academy there to support it financially.

Bassend- Bassend is a much more spread out, luxurious city, surrounded by smaller villages such as Kalligan and Ivory Way. It is the capital of Sinlet, and home to three Academies- Jonsen, Bassend Higher Academy, and Olfax. Many who live there have sprawling manors, and the Prime Crafter of the Grand Craft herself lives in Bassend, as well as Wallsete's Governing Premié, who oversees the laws and regulations of Wallsete.

Cossin- The coastal region to the farthest right of Dardudell, there are no cities along these rocky shores, but there are many smaller settlements and cliffside homes. The region of Cossin stretches into the bordering forest around Prescott Valley. Two Academies can be found there, one well known and close to the forest (Thelyian), and another butted up against the rocky shore on a cliff (Evanen Price). Few have heard of Evanen Price, and any who have gone have not kept in touch to tell any tales.

This is the first part of this world, and the most important to the story I am most interested in telling. The rest of the world may get it stories and finish being created, but this continent is the focus of the story!

lore on Five out of Five is an Ideal You Can't Have please!! I love that one soooo much 👉👈

your wish is my command, anon. <3 thanks for the ask.

LORE FOR FIVE OUT OF FIVE:

it was based on this fic

I've tried to do a sensory deprivation fic for Loki more than once. This was the...third? attempt

After watching SPN, writing THor and Loki's relationship was a little easier. Taking the messy dysfunction from SPN and finding areas where it overlaps between the brother pairs was interesting

After taking a break from MCU for the better part of a year, this was the first fic that I wrote and I finished and I felt so accomplished and happy with myself....only for someone to promptly tell me what a terrible job I was doing with the characters on another fic. Made me want to sit in the shame corner, lol. Actually, that's what this venty tumblr post is referring to.

a big portion of this fic was me exploring Thor's relationship with Sif and the Warriors, trying to figure out WHY Thor was chilling with them when he was ignorant to the way they treated his brother. The reason that Thor is so desperate to keep their friendship is because of how severely he and Loki were isolated as children. The fact that anyone would willingly choose to spend time with him outside of their family is utterly baffling to him and something he's desperate to keep

I have absolutely no idea what they killed at the beginning of the fic

I started the fic in Jan of 2021 and then finished it in may 2021 after a run. I very distinctly remember coming back and just wanting to finish something. I think I was about 10 pgs in and just shoved my way through the last bit

I had actually intended for THOR to be the one who was losing his senses when I started this, but it didn't end up that way

"Ranging from books to entire tables and something that Thor suspects is some type of stove" -- this is 1000% a reference to the classic "and even the kitchen sink was there" joke, which I thought was absolutely hilarious

^^^ this is a jab at the Loki series. Most of this is a jab at the Loki series, honestly. Wait. When on earth did I write this--

Oh dear. I was already taking pointed stabs at it and it hadn't even been released yet. Well. That's embarrassing for MCU.

^^^ this was inspired by watching SPN where they would bless cursed objects and that would often fix them.

"Though the cold hadn't bothered him, Sif's continued shivering had made them stop for the night. Loki had pointed her toward his newly made flame without a word." -- this is a reference to The Weeping Siren where they were all making fun of Loki for not being able to light a fire

"Loki's not a witch, but the Norns know he gets the funny feelings of one." -- This is a reference to BBC Merlin fics, where the Knights and Arthur refer to Merlin's magic as his "funny feelings"

^^^ Loki already knew something was wrong right here and didn't say anything because Thor got angry. The effects of the cloth-thing were almost instantaneous.

"There isn't a lot that Loki won't approach if Thor has first and vice versa. Their stupidity often goes hand in hand. And Loki wouldn't even go past the doorway, despite the giant monster that was attacking them. That's…that's probably more than just a funny feeling." -- there is no loki without thor and no thor without loki and that includes them being idiots

---

"His mother has told him endlessly that one of the easiest methods to disperse curses is through fire or some other purifier. Salt sometimes works as well."

^^ i try to make a point in fics to have Thor not be completely ignorant of magic. Look. my sister is really REALLY into rocks and has infected me with knowledge of them despite my best efforts. there is no way Thor hasn't picked up something from listening to Loki rant about it for literal decades.

----

^^^ Loki knew what was happening (mostly) throughout the entire fic. He just wasn't saying anything. From the moment the cloth touched him, Loki couldn't use his magic. He didn't know what to do and he was terrified, but he didn't know how or if he should tell anyone.

---

""You should just speak up," Thor chides patiently, "I'm sure there must be something interesting underneath all of that hair," " -- shameless reference to Dean making fun of Sam's hair for all of SPN.

---

Thor sighs. "Why don't you lay down? I'll get some supplies so we can start bringing down your fever. You should have said something."

A flash of relief and gratitude flickers across his sibling's face, brief, but intense. He wasn't expecting that, Thor realizes. " --- the last time Loki received help for something was..... WHEN??? POINTED LOOK AT HIS ENTIRE FAMILY.

Also this is not me projecting my family issues into this. Nope! (it is. My family issues are everywhere in this)

---

"Thor allows him the moment of weakness, cupping a hand against the back of Loki's neck, trying to reassure him" -- I'm not sure if this is actually true, but I saw on BBC's Sherlock post that you only let people you deeply trust touch the back of your neck. I remember trying to research that as I wrote that line, lol. I never found an answer.

---

^^^ I tried to make a point of showing how differently the Warriors were handling this and Thor. Thor actually addressed the problem and SAW loki, the warriors just ignored him until he annoyed them enough. It's like. The Warriors tolerated Loki and kind of pretend this whole thing wasn't happening. I didn't want them to be complete assholes, but it was a tough balance to write. They mostly ended up being assholes, lol.

---

"Frigga smiles warmly at him, but her eyes are distant and dark. Thor looks, but isn't surprised that he can't see his father anywhere." --- ALSO making a point about how ABSENT Odin is from his children's lives. Frigga is there. Odin is just GONE.

---

"Mindlessly, Thor dumps off his part of the recovered stolen items to the palace's head of artifacts and goes to give his report to his father." --- Loki is in the hospital and he is dying. They know this. Odin is in the throne room. He wasn't busy. Thor talked with him almost instantly. Odin was in the throne room by choice and couldn't be bothered to make an appearance in the healing wing. This wasn't an accident, it was intentional character placement.

----

""If your brother had been killed, you can't imagine the realm-wide mess—" Odin releases a breath, stopping himself, -- I firmly believe that if Loki were to actually die, he would revert to his Jotun form and that would cause the realms-wide mess Odin is talking about.

----

"—a witch created that to kill her enemies quickly and painfully by removing their senses then shutting down organs. I'd only heard rumors that her enchanted objects were still around. She created more than a dozen to send to her enemies." --- I like to imagine this was one of the witches that raised Frigga. That's how she recognized it so quickly.

---

One of the few stories that I didn't end on a happy ending. It's kind of a bittersweet ending and this was intentional. I read this fic where Loki got possessed by like this mirror thing (mirror,mirror by lise, a03), and it ended as a MESS and it was so satisfying. XD
