Cages are not for birds

Part 13 of Phoenix's story on board the sentient SG/Lost Light from @cuppajj

Honestly, I'm not quite happy with how this turned out, but that might be because I wrote this when I wasn't feeling well.

Either way, please enjoy.

Trigger Warning: Manipulation

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Phoenix was, yet again, staring at an Energon Cube. A full cube he didn’t want to consume, but he knew that throwing it against the wall and watching it shatter wouldn’t help him. No, he would only get a new cube the next time he closed his eyes.

So, Phoenix did his best to distract himself.

But there was only so much he could do in a room he didn’t know. After all, this wasn’t his room. Phoenix didn’t have his data-pads or his model ships in here. He did have that one bouncing ball he got from his mother once. And he did play with it. Making it bounce against the wall, before catching and throwing it again. But he made the mistake of not putting it back in his subspace before recharging, and now it’s gone. It just disappeared, as if it never

was there in the first place, and that only caused Phoenix to start crying again. And crying he did. It took him two days before he finally managed to calm himself down.

Two days he spent not recharging or refueling.

Two days that made the youngling even more exhausted.

And Phoenix was sick of it. He wanted to get out. He wanted to get back to Rodimus, because he knew that Rodimus would at least make him feel safe. Something the youngspark desperately needed.

But he didn’t have that safety now. So, Phoenix did the next best thing. He tore the hab-suit up again and used the pieces to create something similar to a pillow-fort. It was uncomfortable and small, but it made him feel less watched when he was resting underneath it. And, in a way, not feeling like he was being watched made him feel safer than before.

After 6 more days of being alone, Phoenix started to mutter and sing to himself. Swaying his head in a rhythm only he could hear while trying to find a way to get out of the room. But seeing how there was only one door that could lead to freedom, or at least to the concept of freedom he developed on this ship, he stopped looking for a way out. Instead, he concentrated on keeping himself entertained.

But after another 6 days of constant singing and no refueling, Phoenix could feel his voice slowly slipping away. It was, after all, just as exhausted as he was. Maybe that’s why he forgot when exactly he slipped into recharge. But when he woke up again, he found another fresh cube of Energon resting next to him.

And this time, he downed the whole cube like a starved turbo fox. Slightly choking on the contents, but not enough to be of any danger. At least, he thought that it wasn’t dangerous. He still got to finish the cube, and after refueling, he went back to recharge.

And that was the start for his new routine. Wake up, refuel, distract himself with something that wasn’t singing, he mostly started to stack things, and then recharge.

On the 12th day, Phoenix believed it was the 12th day, he lost count, maybe, 20 days ago? No, wait, 20 days are too long… yes… but at the same time, him being in here feels longer. Maybe it was 10 days? But that didn’t feel right either. Not knowing which day it was really made him wish that his tally marks wouldn’t disappear every time he scratched them into the wall.

Either way, on the, presumably, 12th day, Phoenix heard the hab-suits door open, and was quick to scramble out of his little fort and up on his feet.

“Have you calmed down?” Phoenix, if his voice wasn’t as damaged as it was, would have said yes, but instead, all he could do was nod viciously, while trying to keep the coming tears from spilling.

By Primus and Unicron together, he felt stupid. He felt stupid for lashing out all those days ago. Phoenix didn’t mean to yell at Lightlost. Well, maybe he did, but he didn’t think it would come out that bad. He just felt confused and alone and… and… And Phoenix could feel that those feelings weren’t gone completely. Seeing Lightlost more or less reawakened them, but the youngling wouldn’t say that. No. He would be a good kid now. No more yelling, no more throwing things and no more saying mean things. Yes, Phoenix would be a good kid now. He would be the best kid on the ship, if it meant he no-longer had to stay in this hab-suite.

“Oh my poor little bird.”

Lightlost was careful as they approached the youngling. They could see how Phoenix was flinching away from them. And that wouldn’t do it. No, they didn’t want their little bird to flinch away, as if they were a sparkeater.

So, they held out one of their servos while smiling softly, waiting for him to take it. And as soon as Phoenix placed his servo in theirs, they pulled him into a warm hug. “It’s okay. I’m not mad anymore. I’m more worried about you. Did you overuse your voice too much? Oh little bird, that’s why you shouldn’t scream. It only causes damage.” They said while softly patting the youngling's helm. "But you wouldn't know that, now would you? You're still so young after all. Aren't you? Just a small youngling who doesn't know better, but thinks they know everything."

Lightlost's words caused Phoenix to shed his tears quietly. Maybe they were right, maybe he still was a little youngling who didn't know better. But then why was he allowed to join a crew and travel the galaxy? Wouldn't you need a certain age to do so?

"B…. Bu….tttt…" Phoenix tried his best to say something, anything to counter Lightlost, but even saying one small word caused him pain. He probably shouldn't have overused his voice, but there was nothing better to do. It was either that, or going crazy from boredom. And, to be honest, Phoenix didn't want to become crazy. He would probably be a weird crazy.

"Ah, ah, ah. Phoenix," Lightlost said while fixing Phoenix with a disapproving stare, "I hope you aren't over exerting yourself. Because if you are, you would be acting like a bad youngling. Which means I would have to leave you here, until you learned your lesson."

As an answer, Phoenix was quick to shake his head. No! He would be good! He would be!

"Good. Now, how about I take you to Swerve's for some refueling? Sounds good, right?"

Phoenix didn't protest when Lightlost started to lead him away from the hab-suite and down the still unfamiliar halls, because he knew, if he did, he would be back in that room.

And Phoenix didn't want to be in there ever again.

#sentient sg/lost light au #sentient sg/lost light #phoenix #cuppajj #only phoenix is my character #damn #I'm gonna be honest #I was just as confused as phoenix when writing this #like #I think I pushed myself too hard today #either way #can't wait for rodimus to take things into his hands and get the kid and himself out of there #they need a vacation after escaping #heard earth was looking nice #maybe Delphi too #who knows?

More ships! (I can't even find the original prompt you reblogged that's how many you must've gotten by now)

Albus Dumbledore/Nicolas Flamel

Snape/Filch

McGonagall/Sprout

Hermione/Grindelwald

thank you very much for the ask, anon! we are now almost a full calendar year into these ship asks - and i hope they continue for a very long time to come.

albus dumbledore/nicholas flamel

ok, so we've all thought about just how bonkers it is that dumbledore straight-up tells flamel to kill himself, right?

like, he's told flamel that he will keep the philosopher's stone under impregnable protection at hogwarts, and then he turns up at his house one day and says "yeah, so the obstacle course guarding the thing which has made you immortal was low-effort for an eleven-year-old... and - btw - the stone has been destroyed for a reason i have no intention of elaborating on"... i know he tells us that flamel is unafraid of death, but:

a. we only have his word for it.

b. the very fact that flamel takes the elixir actually suggests to me that he's probably got a slightly... voldemort-ish view of the whole dying lark...

which is to say, i actually really like the idea of a pretty dark dynamic between dumbledore and flamel - especially one which is, in essence, a reversal of the dynamic between dumbledore and grindelwald, in which dumbledore becomes the bored cynic with the desire to push the boundaries of magic and flamel becomes the innocent scholar who is delighted to have met someone on the same intellectual level...

which is why i was recently delighted to stumble across alone and palely loitering by @squibstress... an absolute banger!

argus filch/severus snape

i have been very taken with the way this pairing is written by delphi - especially because of the way they play with the shared grubbiness which contributes to snape and filch's respective outsider statuses within hogwarts.

but i do, generally, think it's probably flopping. snape's vibe with filch is very "even i look down on you", and i suspect that the idea of doing it with a squib is something which makes the death eater in him jump out, even when he's on the path towards reformation...

minerva mcgonagall/pomona sprout

yes.

not only because i really like the mismatch potential of mcgonagall's rather buttoned-up vibe having to come undone as she gets into the funky way in a greenhouse, but because i really like the hints we get in canon of them being comrades-in-arms [especially against the male teachers].

i think they're falling into bed the first time while they split a bottle of firewhisky and complain about umbridge. i think it's turning into something more as they help each other endure through the horrible year in which snape's headmaster.

hermione granger/gellert grindelwald

do you know what... we're going with... yes.

my unpopular view is that - in contrast to fandom slander which portrays ron as someone who can't wait to put the mudbloods in their place - hermione is the member of the trio who'd make the best death eater, on account of her tendency towards people-pleasing and her general deference to authority.

so if she finds herself yeeted back in time to the 1940s? sorry lads, she's not fixing tom riddle through the force of her intellect [he would - with my apologies to tomione nation - think her a narrow-minded bluestocking who wouldn't recognise magical creativity if it punched her in the face]...

she's becoming a fascist.

"you look so cozy" with mammon and Shae please👀

Ahh thank you for the request, Hack! 💛 I thought those prompts were so adorable i'm so glad you sent one in! I hope you like it, it's just a short little drabble of what immediately came to mind!

Anon, yours is next it's waiting in my inbox for me <3

List of Gentle Prompts

Shae x Mammon

Summary: A short little piece about Shae and Mammon having a cozy evening in after being out in the cold winter air of the Devildom. (Where I headcanon that the Devildom seasonal conditions are way more extreme than a human world seasonal conditions lol)

Taglist: @amberrskiies, @obey-me-posts @sassykattery @delphi-dreamin, @a-hidden-gem @otomefoxystar @todothedodo @marvelous-maniac @nonbinary-disaster @selfmadender @animeismyhappyplace @vampire-tr4mp @ana-dear @gaychaosgremlin @sidgethegamer @meiloorun-tea @temnuk0 @starshineandbooks

You Look So Cozy

Shivering, Shae breathes a puff of hot air into her hands in an attempt to warm them. Even the thick wool of her gloves isn't enough to keep out the bite of the cold, winter air of the Devildom. They had just gotten dinner at Hell's Kitchen, and despite having a full stomach she was no where near warm. "You doin' alright, Shae?" Mammon asks, guiding her down the snowy streets of Deviltown. . "Y-Yeah it's just s-so cold..." Shae said, her teeth chattering. Mammon's eyebrows furrow together as he pulls her into his side. He knew Devildom winters were pretty extreme compared to what Shae was probably used to. "Don't ya worry, the Great Mammon will keep ya warm until we make it home!" Shae giggles, leaning into him as they made their way back to the House of Lamentation.

The warmth of the house welcomes them with a cozy embrace as they wander through the doors. Shae sighs, feeling herself begin to thaw out almost immediately. "I've never been so cold in my life." She mumbles, stripping off her jacket. Mammon chuckles, plucking Shae's hat off of her head, leaving her raven black hair tousled and messy. "Ugh, Mams, why-" but her words are silenced as his lips meet hers. "Cause you are just so damned cute, ya know? I can't help it." Shae blushes, leaning in to bury her face into his chest. "Well you don't have to mess up my hair." Mammon laughs, reaching his hand up to mess up her hair even more. "Go get into something comfy and meet me in the living room, I'll get us something warm to drink."

Shae makes her way to her room, slipping out of her cold, damp clothing. She pulls on a pair of leggings, along with one of Mammon's hoodies she had kept after she had asked to "borrow" it one day. Lastly, she pulls on a pair of fuzzy socks, hoping that they will help bring feeling back to her toes. Grabbing her blanket off of her bed, she hurries back down the hall to claim her spot on the couch in front of the fireplace. Snuggling down in her blanket, she waits patiently for Mammon.

Her eyes begin to droop as her body relaxes, finally feeling warm again from the fire. "Oi, you ain't gonna fall asleep on me already, are ya?" Mammon's voice startles her, causing her eyes to shoot open. He's standing above her, staring at her over the back of the couch as he holds a mug in each hand. She notices he's also changed into a pair of sweatpants and a t shirt. Shaking her head, Shae pulls the blanket up past her nose, attempting to hide the blush that she's pretty sure has formed on her cheeks. "Of course not, I was just bored waiting for you!" Mammon chuckles, his golden gaze shining down at her with adoration. "You look so cozy." Shae reaches a hand out from under the blanket to pat the vacant spot next to her. "Then come join me?" The white haired demon doesn't hesitate as he sets the mugs of tea down on the coffee table. He slides comfortably onto the couch next to her, his arms instinctively wrapping themselves around her. Shae sighs softly as he gently pulls her into his familiar embrace. "I love you, Mams." She murmurs, resting her head against his chest. Mammon hums, leaning in to press a kiss against her forehead. Shae's heart flutters in her chest as she feels his lips form into a slow grin. "Now don't go tellin' anyone or anything but uh...I love ya too."

Alright I apologize for lack of actual content minus reposts as of late, creative block sucks cuck. But I guess that gives me an excuse to share more of what I've cooked up for the Double Lester AU/The Son of the Priest!

-The books have their own titles in this to seperate them from the OG. A Fallen God's Plea, The Wrath of Neos Helios, Blood Moon Rising, and The Last Trial all correspond to, respectively, The Hidden Oracle, The Burning Maze, The Tyrant's Tomb, and The Tower of Nero. You may notice The Dark Prophecy isn't here, that's because I can't think of a good alternative title for the story told in the AU version, it might just stay the same idk yet.

-I'm aging up Meg just a little, to 14 from the start. I confess I do this because it's hard for me to keep Meg in character, so I'm going the cheap route to make her a bit more flexible to me. Don't fire me pls I'll try to keep her close to canon

-Nifty idea I had while doing my notes for Blood Moon Rising: Lester progressively becomes more ghostlike as Apollo's infection worsens (since the Body-Soul Link connects them.) At first, it just makes Lester's veins more purple and it more difficult not to break into his true aoroi self, but over time he simply can't go back into his human state and has to keep a tight handle on himself so as to not attack people. His aoroi appearance has a distinct violet tinge instead of pale blue, and the poison in him (well, more Apollo) shows as glowing lavender veins, much like if you injected glowstick fluid in your bloodstream. By the time we reach the end with Tarquin, Lester is struggling so badly not to give in to the violent urges, Tarquin's beckoning to join him, and the amount of pain he's in, but he pushes through everything knowing there's still that smallest chance of help... of hope.

-I AM SOOOO excited to get to Nero and Python. Netos death won't be so anticlimatic- if fact he goes out with a bang- and Python... well for one it's serious Lester abuse ouch, but it's the peak of Apollo and Lester's character arcs. Neither of them are afraid to face Python because they have each other and aren't alone. They aren't afraid to die, hell Lester just goes into Badass Mode the whole fight, a stark contrast to the wimpy coward we met at the very beginning of everything. He does everything he can to assist Apollo knowing damn well there is no chance of him surviving the battle. The lil fucker just refuses to die.

And that's before I get to Apollo. He feels horrible knowing Lester is almost guaranteed to die in Delphi, and he will not let him. He will do whatever it takes to save Lester from the fate Python bestowed on him, consequences be damned. He's willing to die for Lester, and Lester's willing to die for Apollo. That's what love does bby

-A snippet of the many abilities of the Body-Soul Link is that Lester, on a few occasions, can actually SORT OF see Apollo's true appearance. In reality he looks like a fuzzy, glowing gold 3D lineart and his face is really hard to make out, but Lester's Mist-piercing vision helps him a bit... and he gets flustered every time. "A-am I gay now?"

-also Lester, despite his temper, is such a sweetheart to everyone hnngh too precious. For one, he's such a big brother to Meg, he cried when Meg said she sees him and Apollo as siblings. He gives back to the poor. He cares about nature. Fuck I can't wait to this precious little bean to yall aaaaaa

ARB Birthday Special 2023: Kaoru Shinozaki

~~ September 15th ~~

“There is no great genius without a mixture of madness.”

Login Lines:

“Zzzzzzz…. Gah! I'm up! I'm awake! Oh shit, you scared me! Don't do that! I can feel my heart pounding! Huh? Is this a present?”

“Why are you even giving this to me? It’s not like my birthday is anytime soon. Wait, what do you mean today is my birthday? Athena dammit! I forgot again!”

Voice Lines:

“I can't believe I forgot about my birthday for the second year in a row. I mean, I did spend the last few days working on an invention. Oh well, I might as well see what chaos I can get up to today.”

“Alright! “Operation: Birthday Bash” is a go! Mwahahaha! Major intelligence agencies all across the world are currently waking up to a malware virus that I just sent to their servers!*giggles* It's nothing too bad. All it's going to do is forcibly take control of their speaker systems and play “Never Gonna Give You Up” on repeat all day. Take that you fuckers!”

“Hi Mama, Papa, Nii-san. It's me. I’m doing alright, just turned 23, but I'm sure you all knew that.*sighs* Lately, I've been thinking about what my life would be like if the accident never happened. I think…I would've been miserable, and isn't that a horrible thought? I never said this, but for all that you loved me, none of you ever bothered to understand me. How could you? I was too different. What? You don't think I heard you talking at night? That you thought I walked the line between genius and insanity. That you thought I would grow up to be a villain? That some days you were even afraid of me? Ha! A part of me resents you for that even now.”

“You know A.D.A is usually the first one to wish me happy birthday, but I haven't heard from her all day, which is pretty strange. I think she’s planning something because she asked me a while back if I had any plans for my birthday all while looking like the cat who ate the canary. Ehhhh…I should probably prepare for the worst. A.D.A can get pretty vindictive when the mood hits her.”

“Yurikoooo! What did you get me? Noooo! Betrayed by my own mother! Next thing you know I’ll be left out on the cold streets to fend for myself. Oh, the horror! *wheezes* Okay, okay, I’m done! Oh, come on, Yuriko! It's my birthday. Let me live a little! Anyway, did you not really get me anything? Hahaha! I knew you’d never let me down! So, whatcha get me?”

“A string of numbers? Wait, are these what I think they are? Fuck…Yuriko that place is literally one of the best guarded networks in the world. I could spend years attempting to hack it as Delphi, and even then, I would only be able to make a dent in their firewall. Literally, the only ones allowed to have access to that place are the top and, I mean, top dogs of the underworld. So why? Why give this to me? Why give me access to… somewhere where I make the worst of my genius blossom to life with no consequences? A storm, huh? You can count on me, Yuriko. I promise.”

“No wait Kanra! *crunch* K-K-Kanra it seems like your birthday hugs get stronger every year huh? My ribs certainly can tell. Oh, what are we waiting for then? You know I love your cakes Kanra! Hahaha! Okay, then what did you get me?”

“Pfffffftt! Kanra that thing is nearly as tall as you are! Hahaha! No, but seriously Kanra thank you. I've always wanted one of these. How did you even get one anyway? This thing is kinda of expensive. *wheeze* Kanra please! You can't treat a fight like it's a Pokémon battle. Hahaha! Never change Kanra.”

“A.D.A! There you are! You're even in your android body, too! So I can only assume you have something special planned for me today. A.D.A…your grin is kind of scaring me. The last time you grinned like that, you didn't let me have coffee for 2 weeks. Oh gods, you are banning me from coffee again! A.D.A, please! I need coffee to survive! A.D.A…you’re still not filling me with confidence, but alright, what did you get me?”

“Uhhh…A.D.A? This is just a piece of paper with a time and a set of directions on it. Of course a…A.D.A WHAT DO YOU MEAN DATE??? Y-y-you…dinner…him…error…error…asdkhgkjiwenfkdklyyxgsitzfzjfzkfoxyoaryhdftwehadghffnjkelfhewnejwnjb…*faints*”

Yuriko Lines:

“Happy Birthday, Kaoru. *raises eyebrow* Does it look like I'm carrying a gift for you? *sighs* Are you done with your little charade Kaoru? Birthday or not, please do not wail like you’re the ghost of a Victorian child. Really? Do you truly believe I would get you anything? What kind of mother would I be if I didn't get my own daughter anything? Now I'm sure you’ll find this quite interesting.”

“Not just any set of numbers, Kaoru. I had to pull quite a few strings for these numbers. As you know, there's the black market which even a regular citizen can get access to if they look hard enough and then there's █ █ █ █ █ █ █. A global network of various dealers and brokers, hidden behind a series of codes and unknown numbers. Where only the truly dangerous lie, both people and items. It’s so well hidden that not even the various governments are aware of its existence, or if they do, all they know is rumors. Kaoru, I won't lie. A storm is brewing and heading our way. I’m not sure when or how, but I’ll be damned if I don't do everything in my power to make sure the three of us survive. If that means giving you access to someplace where you can be the worst version of yourself, then so be it. I know Kaoru, I know.”

Kanra Lines:

“Happy Birthday Kaoru! *hugs* Eh? Sorry! Guess I got a little too excited. Ah! Nevermind that! Come on Kaoru! I have your birthday cake in the kitchen! First I have to give you your present! I hope you like it!”

“Ta-da! Your very own giant Mareep doll! It is not! I can see over it! Hm? Oh right. So every time I beat someone unconscious I rummage through their wallets and steal all the cash they have on them. Why not? Winner’s rights! If people wanna pick a fight with me they better be prepared to fork over some cash when they lose!”

Bonus! A.D.A Lines:

“Kaoru my dear! Happy Birthday! Oh, I have just a little something special for you today. *grins widely* Hm? Hahaha! Don’t be so scared, Kaoru, it's nothing like that. I will admit that it was a bit hard to work on the plan without you noticing, but I succeeded. Now, here I have something for you!”

“Why is it the time and location for your dinner reservation for your date with that pretty goth boy! Of course! He seemed surprised when I asked him. He was under the impression that you would be spending your birthday with Yuriko and Kanra, but I waved off his concern and told him you would love it if he took you out for dinner! Oh dear, her mind is erroring. Are you alright, Kaoru? Kaoru? AHH! SHE FAINTED!”

The Road To Ruin(?): you mentioned twenty three hours of slideshow. What else is there?

Okay okay SO! It's not a 23 hour long slideshow, as much as that would definitely be my magnum opus, it just took me 23 hours to make. Although I did sleep, so more like 17. BUT I've added a slide or two since then so technically it's a 24h slideshow ;0

There are. So many people on this slideshow. I didn't REALIZE how many OCs I was making until I put them all in one place. There are TWENTY SEVEN character slides, plus an extra slide for "I need to remember their name but they are NOT going to end up Important"(tm). Sadly, Cole from Into The Mixing Bowl is not on it yet, and they will likely garner an entire slide. As soon as I learn their birthday XD

Anyway I try to make a slide for every important person I build myself, plus NOPC Fay Dunbar because at this point she's so divorced from canon that she requires an explanation xD I love her immensely.

So! Not everyone but here's the two Delphis I sometimes mention, Calli, Fay, and the various Potter Twins that have been mentioned so far.

Starting with The Boys!

I hope the slides explain them well enough but I will answer any and all questions I love them so much. Charlie's from the first twin au I ever made - don't think it counts as a wbwl because at that time I didn't know the trope and the "Chosen One" shenanigans focus on both of them.

I'm like 98% sure I wrote Sorrel having glasses in TRTR but it's fine he looks 16 here, sometimes you grow out of them.

FUN FACT when I was building NOPC, I got to the point where you Have To Have A Name but I couldn't pick one, so I handed the phone to my little sister and told her to. That's why there's no theme to the name Connor, unlike the other twins.

We're going to ignore the fact that his name is spelled two different ways, I spell it one, autocorrect spells it the other. The fact that Tristan is somehow a week older than William seems extremely fake to me, but google docs dates my documents and that's what they say.

WILLIAM! He's such a Person. I love him so. Both Will and NOPC get to feature copious Encyclopedia Brown references and it makes me so happy.

Fay! She's my blorbo! Fay Malfoy was an errant thought in War Crimes and spawned her own au. Long before that, THIS Fay was born! I think she's from 2020? I didn't date NOPC's conception, partially bc the twins are only dated so the Ordered By Birthday Slideshow can have them ordered too, and partially because it's the result of multiple aus breeding plot bunnies over three years.

I have so many picrews of her because Metamorphmagery makes her that much more fun to do. I love her so much. Alongside becoming the Astronomy teacher, she contracts with Gringotts to break in and then point out flaws in their security.

Calli! She's Delphi Lyn's soulmate and she's such a person. I can't wait to get NOPC out and get reactions.

I saved the best for last; it's Delphi Lyn, mwah. Gosh this woman does. so much. I love her. It's SO MUCH FUN to run plotlines with her. Delphi Is Not Paid Enough For This is going to be a series of aus spawning from DoM/Horcrux shenanigans and it's lovely.

character design: canvas and day for fiver, hair and texture for celeste, stillness and favourite for delphi!

[character design asks]

Fiver

canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all?

he has several ear piercings and although i think the markings on his face are meant to be facepaint i think of them more like tattoos bc there's simply no way fiver is doing his makeup every day. as for scars, he has Tons of them. in my mind, magic can only heal you so much and only if you get to it quickly enough. there's been plenty of times where Fiver wouldn't have been able to get to a healer right away. the biggest one is across his entire torso from Zenos' scythe, the wound that probably fully did kill him if it weren't for. spoilers.

day: What does your OC wear on a normal day? Why do they default to those clothes? Do they wear similar things, or do they change it up?

on a normal day, he's wearing his adventuring gear because he's learned from repeated experience that he doesn't get to choose when the world ends and it won't wait for him to finish having dinner with his friends or whatever. his bow is definitely always within reach even if he's not wearing heavier duty gear.

Celeste

hair: How does your OC wear their hair? Does it have some kind of meaning?

his hair is extremely long (to his thighs) and thick, although magically light comparatively (aasimar genes!), so usually he just braids it for ease. he has several sort of complicated updo's that take hours to do that he'll use when dancing if he doesn't want his hair getting in the way. but for day-to-day, just a simple braid.

texture: Does your OC favor any specific kinds of cloth or textures? Is there anything they can't wear or don't like? What sort of fabrics do they prefer?

Celeste is extremely picky about fabric and texture and weight and fit. all of his clothes are custom made it's like his most Rich Boy trait. for the most part he likes tight fitting but not restrictive clothes with selectively flowy pieces. he needs fabrics that are breathable and light, somewhat stretchy, wicking. his clothing priorities are 'can i dance in this', 'is it fashionable', and then 'is it practical' is at the bottom of the list

Delphi

stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?

Delphi is one of my least fidgety ocs. he can be extremely still when he wants to and sometimes does it by accident. years upon years in two lives of training for meditation and focus. if he's being fidgety it's either because he's anxious or because his legs are bothering him (sometimes the connections get achy). i don't think his clothing has any affect on how he holds himself ever.

favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

he has a necklace that was a gift from Mara the first time he left the Dreaming City. as i recall, and i might be recalling wrong, the thing from forsaken was like guardians needed the little crystal to get in bc in order to enter the light and dark needed to be in balance. hence normal awoken could come and go without issue or something. but Delphi, even as a normal awoken, was unbalanced in favor of light, so Mara gave him that little token so he could come back. then he died but. yk.

Wow, finally found your blog! 🤩 I was looking for it for days, you are getting quite famous on the fandom! can I request a reading? I dont know if you had answer this already but: of what P is more afraid of when it comes to a stable relationship that is making him closes himself to one? cheating? being dumped out of nowhere? changing his life for the person? or something else?

Awww 🥹🥹🥹 I am getting “quite famous” in the fandom? Omg, that is so kind of you to say and it makes me so happy 🙈🙈🙈!! Now about the reading, I might have answered similar questions but I don’t think I have asked it this way? We also know he has said in the Wired interview that he doesn’t have kids and stays out of relationships and at least one of the reasons was because he doesn’t want to risk losing them somehow, but I asked the cards about it, so we’ll see what came up.

The first cards were the Queen of Hedgehogs, Justice and 9 of Teacups. You see, when I first saw these cards, I wasn’t really sure what to make of them because they are actually happy cards, so I was like “wait, is he afraid of being…happy?” But then things made sense when I pulled other cards. Queen of Hedgehogs is a great omen for a happy and stable relationship and home life, as she is stable, grounded, reliable, secure, and she is a nurturer. Then you have Justice with more stability, moderation, balance, fairness, and 9 of Teacups representing more happiness, satisfaction, luck, feeling comfortable and like a wish has come true. Very good cards, right? They could also be referring to the way he would try to be in a relationship, the way he would try to give his best to the person.

The next cards were the 7 of Teacups, 2 of Flowers and 8 of Spears. 7 of Teacups is the card of daydreaming, of having so many options and so many choices and ways to go and just fantasizing and being lost in the possibilities. 2 of Flowers is another card about possibilities, about choices and having plans and starting to iron out new goals, but not just daydreaming and actually having the impulse to act on them. BUT look at the last card, 8 of Spears, the one about feeling stuck, restricted, limited, like you can't choose and you can't go anywhere and you're feeling tied up and indecisive. So what could this be about? I took it as two possible ways, one of them being Pedro becoming stuck and feeling that happy relationships could limit him, could stop him from making decisions and choosing what is best for him and his life and his career. Like he would be always in a crossroad. OR it could be that he might fear the other person being unable to choose him and to choose staying with him, stalling and not really committing and only keeping him trapped in their web.

The last cards were the Knight of Teacups reversed, The Hermit and 7 of Hedgehogs reversed. Knight of Teacups reversed could be representing someone not being sincere in the relationship. Someone who could be lying, deceiving him, cheating on him or manipulating his feelings, someone he could not trust. The Hermit right after could mean he would end up feeling alone, isolated, and lonely in the relationship. 7 of Hedgehogs reversed is about putting a lot of effort into something and never getting anything in return, investing time and energy in the relationship and things just not working out.

So, to put it simply, I take it as he possibly being afraid of thinking he has it all and then realizing he is really not getting anything back, being cheated on, delluded, abandoned, of putting everything he can into a relationship and seeing it be worthless.

To get more info about it, I asked my Oracle of Delphi the same question and the cards were Pastime, Blindness and Multiple Loves. Well, let's put it this way, he could be afraid to be a Pastime to the person, to think he actually has someone who loves him and cares for him and be blind about it, not really see what's in front of him, unable to realize the truth. He's afraid of the person having Multiple Loves, of maybe being cheated on, of maybe not being the only one, or simply not being a priority in the person's life because they have other things that are more important than him.

So I would say that he could potentially fear that everything would be just an illusion, that he would be fooling himself and then all of a sudden he would be left alone in the end. You see, those fears, if true, are actually quite relatable, aren't they? But of course I am not saying this is the absolute truth or that they are the only reasons and fears he could have about it…

The Burning Maze Predictions (TOA SPOILERS)

The third and fourth books are always the best. Were with PJO and HOO, will be with TOA. It looks like we'll be starting off with the trio of Apollo, Meg, and Grover. Y'all have no idea how excited I am to see Grover again after his absence from a whole series. And he won't be there just for the start, either. He's on the cover, so he'll be present throughout most of the book!

Speaking of the cover, that does look like the Labyrinth, all right: mishmash of modern and ancient architecture. The maze is surely going to be the main battleground, not just a way to get to the west coast as quickly as possible. I, uh, see a lot of owls. Did someone slight Athena? They're someone else's owls, probably, though I can't imagine who. It looks like Meg has saved them with her vines. There's fire in front of them but that can't be Festus' because he's too big for these hallways. It doesn't seem like Leo's, either, because I can see the faintest glimpse of an upper and lower jaw -- definitely a monster.

Now, predictions from the prophecy. (Fourteen lines, gahhhh.......... *head in hands, shaking* Who decided... why....) Changeling lord. Frank. Best title 10/10. He might even save the camp since the prophecy says he faces a challenge dire and bodies are filling the Tiber. Also, there are two Sybils, apparently. Ffs... Rhea, Rhea Silvia... Sybil of Cumae, Sybil of Erythraea... They're not gonna kill off Ella, obviously. They wouldn't do that. I think I saw Reyna on the cover of the fourth book, so she may also play a support role in this one and then step into the spotlight for the book after.

The lands of scorching death are southward... Guess what's to the south of Cali? Arizona. Guess what's in Arizona? The junkyard of the gods where Bianca died. Goodness gravy, I'm perpetually on edge about that line.

However, on a brighter note and in a different direction, westward might be where we find Zephyros. Apollo and the west wind have made amends so he may be willing to help out our questers. Speaking of questers, the "When three are known" line has me extremely anxious. When what three are known? And what number do we start with? Is it three Oracles and we've already got two in the bag so this is number three? Or is it three questers? That's the interpretation that scares me the most. If we start with two questers, then it's fine if we pick up someone on the way. If we start with four or five questers, that means our party is going to get trimmed like in The Titan's Curse. The Dark Prophecy doesn't say who or how many have to reach the Tiber alive, after all.

Wait wait wait. Does this Dark Prophecy span more than one book? Two Oracles (both Sybils) are mentioned in it. We only have five Oracles, so unless there's a secret sixth one (please tell me there's a secret sixth one, that would be so metal), we're missing an Oracle for the fourth book. We took care of the Grove of Dodona in book one, the Cave of Trophonius in book two, we're gearing toward both Sybil of Cumae and Sybil of Erythraea in book three, and Pythia of Delphi is obviously to be left for book five. What about book four? What Oracle are we going to commandeer/destroy in The Tyrant's Tomb?

This felt less like predictions and more like ~5 paragraphs of questions and confusion because it sound like so much is going to be going on. Anyway, that's that. Time to actually read the book.

P.S. There are totally six Oracles. 110%

Hi dearest

Question: does Lucifer kiss your skin goodbye before you tattoo it?

- 🌞

Oh, my darling. This gave me such delicious ideas...

Kiss Goodbye

Word Count: 654

Genre: Fluff, lightly suggestive

Relationship: Lucifer x Delphi

Lucifer watches with a soft smile as his little human bustles about the room, her hair tied back in a messy bun, his own black button-down shirt draped tantalizingly over her petite frame. The sleeves are bunched at her elbows, the buttons undone to her navel, and the hem only barely covers her rear, giving him the barest glimpse of her red lace panties when she bends over. He doesn't think he'll ever understand why she likes sleeping in the shirt, but seeing her in it and only it makes an odd feeling of pride swell in his chest.

“You have a meeting with Diavolo first thing tomorrow at RAD, then we're having lunch with Simeon at noon,” she reminds him as she packs her laptop into her school bag. “We’ve got reservations at Ristorante Six at 8. And don't forget I have a tattoo appointment at 3, so I'll be out for a few hours after classes. I'll meet you back here before dinner.”

Lucifer frowns. “You have a tattoo appointment?”

Delphi looks up at him, her brow raised with amusement. “There's a visiting artist at the shop I like this weekend. I told you about the appointment last week! You seriously forgot?”

“I've had a bit of a busy week, darling,” he reminds her with an amused grin of his own. “Remind me what you're having done?”

Her eyes light up and he smiles. She loves talking about her tattoos, and he loves listening to her. Her excitement and passion are infectious when she's explaining her newest body art.

“I've been messaging them about a design based on one of my drawings. It's a honey bee with honeycomb and a crown,” she explains, the twinkle in her eyes and the light flush in her cheeks betraying her excitement. She sets her bag on the sofa and approaches where he sits on the bed, slotting herself between his thighs and draping her arms over his shoulders. “It's been almost a year since my last big piece, and I can't wait!”

“And where will this one go?” Lucifer asks, his gaze lingering on her bright eyes even as his fingers begin to undo the remaining buttons on the shirt she's appropriated.

He doesn't miss the darkening of her cheeks and the way her gaze flies down to his lips when she says, “It's going to be an under-bust. They're going to incorporate my pact mark into the design as the crown.”

“So, here?” he asks, gently splaying his hand over the soft skin above her lower sternum. His ruby eyes never leave hers as she nods, her lips parting slightly. Her heartbeat quickens under his hand and he smiles. He dips his head to press his lips to the warm skin there and grins when she gasps at the contact.

“Right there,” she breathes, her head falling back as his hands spread over either side of her ribcage. Warmth begins to pool in her belly as his lips wander her upper stomach. Her fingers find his hair of their own accord, burying themselves in his soft locks.

“What are you doing?” she asks, chuckling softly as goosebumps raise on her skin.

“I’m saying goodbye to this lovely patch of bare skin,” Lucifer whispers against her, sending heat directly to her core. He continues to murmur against her, “I love your tattoos and your piercings because you love them and they make you feel beautiful. But you have such gorgeous, delicate skin. And this might be the last time I get to see this particular patch.”

His tongue flicks out and caresses the unmarked flesh below her pact mark and a moan escapes her lips. His breath feels cool against the trail of his tongue, and it makes sparks bloom within her, makes her skin prickle with want. He continues placing open-mouthed kisses on her chest and stomach, smiling as she trembles beneath him.

“You sound almost like Asmo,” she huffs, grinning like a cat.

Lucifer chuckles, “Sometimes he has the right idea.”

Season 2 finale reaction

Opening the episode with everyone standing a responsible 2 metres apart. Safety first.

Somebody let seven change her shirt please

Hehe yes jl

Again the theme and credits still slap

Tallinn accidentally blurting out a thesis statement for the show

Ooh yes genius hacker raffi

I think I blame Angelina Jolie or maybe Carrie Anne Moss for this but goddamn hypercompetant queer coded hacker women my word my ovaries my dear

....

...

....

... I apologise for being bi on main again. Let's get back to it.

Dr soong is the Jacob Rees-Mogg of star trek. In a couple of ways tbh

I can't believe a star trek show included a character too smart for the ole outfit change technique

OK but from Renee's perspective this is creepy af

Have you tried, idk, just grabbing a drone and holding it down?

Ew very creepy soong

Yay Rios!!! I liked this victory moment it was wholesome

Tallinn came here to dispense wisdom and die. And she's all out of wisdom

OK that was mean I actually liked this. Orla Brady served this season

Let's be real he's actually the Elon Musk of star trek

KORE

Yes. My wife. Also hacking, because of course. Baby yes she gets something to dooooo!!!!!

Wait what? Um. Khan. Um....

I thought Khan was 1990s in star trek canon? Or was that retconned? Either way it's a clunky as fuck reference not a fan

Um

The fuck

What

Why

.... I don't like this

This episode is bizarrely structured what the hell

Wes here trying to make the dumb nerd time travel people seem cool. They're not. They're dweebs. We all know. Enterprise got this right.

That was random. But I'm glad kore has stuff to do.

KISS

OH MY GOSH MY DARLINGS

KISS KISS KISS

... honestly I don't think I ever truly understood qcard until this moment. I get it

Know thyself.... OK so tangent

"Know thyself" is the usual translation of the words (γνώθι σεαυτον) inscribed in the stone at the oracle of delphi. I mostly know it from the phaedrus but it's kind of everywhere in Greek philosophy. It's interpreted in range of different ways and is all over the place in "intellectual" pop culture. I love this. It's pretentious. It's high camp. Feed it to me with a ladle.

"Why me?" 🥺

I like this convo between q and jl a lot

Very gay 10/10

Get yourself a woman who will not doubt your ability to kill a god. Seven is wife material.

Teresa and child exist in this scene as props. But okay we all knew this was coming. I don't love it, I don't even like it but I'll talk about it some other time.

Forr the record, I hope that off screen Cris and Teresa had some amazing times together, and that whatever project santiago cabrera went off to work on is a success. I've been appreciating that man since Heroes so yes ❤ miss you already

Hahaha omg

Omg the hug

Yes

Heyyyyyy agnes

"Do not resist."

Ahhhh

Woop elnor!!!

Poor thing he doesn't even know what happened or that they'd be returning!!!

My baby kochanie my love my baby

I cannot believe that Agnes through shere power of nerddom reformed the fucking borg. I love her

Irrelevant but the polski shelf at Tesco's had Ukrainian chałwa. I tried it and tbh it's not as good. Solidarity anyway!

OK so dessert break over

This is sweet. Rios is a legend. Still sad he was written out tho

Sometimes a found family is you, your beautiful cyborg wife and your assassin nun son.

N'awww that was cute

It didn't do the thing I was dreading (ending on a massive cliffhanger). I think I'll definitely watch s3. Was pleasantly surprised by this despite some complaints. I have a more thought out retrospective planned but for now? Mostly positive, some complaints.

Also did I mention elnor????

Hades X Persephone Saga: A Touch of Malice #4

Author: Scarlett St. Clair

Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Mythology

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5.

Spice: 🌶🌶🌶

Goodreads rating: 4/5

Pages: ‎‎‎464

Published: 23 May 2021

A Touch of Malice Review

Note: This book is intended for mature audiences over the age of 18 due to explicit content (steamy chapters).

Greek gods with contemporary problems? Sign me up! “A Touch of Malice,” Scarlett St. Clair's mythical rollercoaster, has Persephone as a news mogul, Demeter as the mother of all 'I object to this wedding!' tropes, and Hades as… well, a slightly doting fiance stuck in a mysterious trap.

From the beginning, there’s something hilariously ironic about the gods dealing with contemporary issues. Persephone isn’t just trying to escape the underworld; she's managing a news organization and planning a wedding while navigating the treacherous waters of the Olympian tabloids. I mean, what’s a god to do when their engagement goes viral? Moreover, Demeter's 21st-century style of maternal disapproval? A snowstorm in summer! Talk about icy cold passive-aggression.

In a whirlwind of romance, fantasy, and the sort of drama only gods can truly pull off, “A Touch of Malice” offers readers a dazzling and sometimes befuddling ride. That said, our experience wasn't always divinely inspired. Scarlett, oh Scarlett, your grand tapestry was occasionally marred by typos.

Now, the plot. There's more action packed into this tome than Hercules had labors. Between dramatic confrontations with the Olympians, terrorist groups with a vendetta against gods (certainly a twist), and Demeter's frosty tantrums, the narrative seemed to sprint from one divine catastrophe to another. And the ending? If anyone saw that coming, they must have been consulting the Oracle at Delphi.

However, for all its action and divine intervention, the essence of the story is grounded in relationships. Helen's betrayal, Sybil's trials, and Persephone's growth (Thank the gods for this) as a character shine through, reminding us that even gods and demigods aren't immune to personal evolution. Hades and Persephone's relationship, which has seen everything from elopement to magical ring tracking, remains at the story's heart. Their passion might just have Aphrodite herself raising an eyebrow.

But, as with any delectable Greek feast, there are moments when you think, "Did I really need that extra baklava?" Some of the book's descriptions left me craving for more, like glimpsing a delicious dish but not getting a taste. This is particularly felt in the descriptions, which, at times, seem to flit between too vague and too detailed.

Yet, despite its faults, there's a pull to the narrative, much like Hades' pull on Persephone. The overarching question keeps you reading: "How on Earth (or the Underworld) will this all resolve?" And of course, waiting to see if your theories play out – because let's be honest, we all love to play oracle from time to time.

Perhaps my favorite aspect is how St. Clair brings a touch of humanity to these otherwise lofty figures. The quote, “Grief means we loved fiercely…and if that is all anyone ever has to say about either one of us in the end, I think we lived our best life,” resonates deeply, reminding us of the universality of love, loss, and the complex tapestry of emotions that even gods can't escape.

To wrap up, "A Touch of Malice" is a quirky, modern retelling of Grecian legends with an extra dose of drama. Would recommend as it is my favourite installment thus far, but perhaps with a small side note: get a cozy blanket, brew a warm drink, and brace yourself for the wintry storm of Demeter's displeasure.

Please note that this book is part of a series and can not be read as a stand alone. Lucky for you this can be your little weekend binge as almost all the books in the series has already been released !

Wait a minute boys and girls, check out these trigger warnings first:
