Wolf Hounds, by Devin Fortman.
Wolf Hounds is a historical fantasy roleplaying game about the Benandanti, a society of werewolves dedicated to protecting their communities from supernatural threats. Uses a lightweight Apocalypse system based on John Harper's World of Dungeons: Turbo.
If you want a more action-based game about werewolves, then I definitely recommend Wolf Hounds. As members of the Benandanti, you play shapeshifters and magic users fleeing the Inquisition while also protecting your local communities from vampires and other supernatural threats. The game feels very similar to Powered by the Apocalypse games, but in specific circumstances, allows you to roll with advantage, or disadvantage, represented by a third dice. You then take the two best or worst results, depending if the situation was advantageous or detrimental.
The creator for this game has also created a campaign sourcebook, called Let Us Prey. There are some very interesting campaign hooks in there, including one in which a young monk has just discovered he is a werewolf - and is being framed for a recent murder. I absolutely recommend that you check it out!
Bite Marks, by Becky Annison / Black Armada.
The Pack is a deeply intimate and close family; like a family, sometimes it is full of love and happiness and sometimes it is brutal and dysfunctional. But love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it – it will shape you. Fearless Alpha, dedicated foot soldier, pacifist scholar or rebellious cub – your relationship with the Pack is the cornerstone of who and what you are.
In Bite Marks you’ll uncover the story of the Pack, exploring the relationships between Packmates, drawing out their loves, rivalries and betrayals. What are the cracks that could shatter the Pack and drown you in hate, and how much stress can those pressure points take before they explode?
PbtA games excel at examining relationships and the relationship of a werewolf pack can be used to explore a number of different kinds of familial relationships. Bite Marks will push your characters together and pull them apart, challenging them to honour or chafe against the role of a pack alpha. If you want gritty interpersonal conflict and collaborative storytelling, this is the game for you.
Howl at the Moon with Friends, by Litza Brown.
This is a TTRPG about catharsis. This game is a power fantasy. It's about running wild and free and facing no consequences and knowing that no roll is a bad roll.
If you want a game full of intimacy and wildness and freedom, this is probably worth checking out. Yet another PbtA game, you are saddled with only two stats, and given full license to go wild and break stuff. Your characters are encouraged to transform, to go berserk, to lash out, and to be really fucking cool. Litza Brownyn has a number of evocative and interesting games in her repertoire, so when I saw her name on this game, I definitely got excited.
Women are Werewolves, by 9th Level Games.
Women are Werewolves is an ENNIE-nominated card-based story game where players portray nonbinary characters in a family where only the women transform into werewolves. Using a beautiful deck of tarot-sized cards containing roleplaying prompts, players explore their relationships to gendered spaces, family customs, and queer and non-queer family members.
As a GM-less game, Women are Werewolves relies on a deck of carts to give your characters prompts. As a group, you’ll decide the setting as well as the level of bigotry you’re willing to explore in play. This is specifically a story about gender and what it means to be non-binary through a werewolf metaphor, so expect more stories about family relationships and less about dramatic transformations. The structure to the game gives you a lot to work with if you’re unfamiliar with this kind of game or these kinds of themes, and I really appreciate that.
Wolfspell, by Dig A Thousand Holes Publishing.
A prophecy told in your youth dictates that only fang and claw will rend your destiny, so you must be reborn as beast. You gather with friends and transmogrify yourselves into wolves and place your destiny in the hands of the dice of Wolf and Blood!
Wolfspell looks like a game of deep emotions and grand action. You are young people burdened with a heavy prophecy, requiring you to take on wolf flesh to fulfill it. How exactly you became a wolf is up to each player. The storytelling is meant to be very collaborative, so I’d recommend picking this game up with folks who don’t mind providing a bit of their own narration as they play. The rules system is, along with a number of other games on this list, PbtA. This means that your characters will be faced with hard choices and mixed results as part of the process of play.

hey! everyone's been really talkative about this IF so I wanted to jump on the train :) do you think you could tell me about the RO routes and like, the vibe of them? i want to start planning out my characters now becuz the release date is next month! (congratulations btw)
also, ik this is a romance book, so I wanted to ask if there's a bunch of romance scenes/small romance stuff included? (ie; them holding hands, sneaky looks, etc) cuz some books advertise as a romance but like only include like 5 scenes, you feel me? the plot seems super cool and im intrigued! but romance also plays a huge part in my satisfaction so just, wanna know!
sorry if this comes off as rude 😭😭
Not rude at all! Though, honestly, I'm not 100% sure how to answer this.
Blood Moon is defiantly more romantic than a lot of games, but it's not as romantic as others. There are romantic scenes and moments, dates, and explicit content, but a large chunk of the game is also... not that.
Like the tagline says: date werewolves, fight vampires.
So, for every werewolf kiss, expect to have to punch a vampire or two.
If anyone who has played Blood Moon would like to comment on the romantic aspect of the game please do. As the author, I feel like I'm not the best person to describe it, because when I write the game I see every possible outcome, so it might seem different for me than someone playing it through.
As for vibes... There are eight romanceable characters and the feel of each romance is different.
CliffsNotes version:
Marco is a lanky blond guy who likes to joke around. He's got some insecurities, because he had a shitty upbringing, but he's also fiercely loving and loyal. He tends to 'match' with the player's character a lot, eg, when running side by side, they always run in lockstep. His romantic route has a lot of BFF to lovers vibes.
Vicky is a tall, muscular woman with a dark past. She's terrifying on the battlefield, but very soft and gentle with those she loves. Her romantic route is about finding peace and softness in a world at war. Great if you want to play a more world wary protagonist, through she can mesh with other sorts of characters too.
Ed is young, ambitious, cheeky, and idealistic. He's probably the most 'human' of the werewolves and strongly believes the world can and should be a better place, though he sometimes uses underhanded methods to make that happen. His route is pitched a little younger, and can include some 'first love' vibes.
Shawnie is a curvy red head with a sassy personality. She's very sexual but actually probably one of the hardest to win the heart of. You have to really get to know her, and prove that you're interested in her for her, before she really shows you her heart.
Roe is a non binary person, very beautiful, with long hair and a lean build. They can come across as aloof or cold, until you get to know them, then they'll show a fierce and passionate side. Romance route is VERY star-crossed lovers. They're torn between desire and duty.
Farro is the resident DILF. He's VERY tall and muscular. Think Pakistani lumberjack. He's also, in contrast to appearances, quite shy and reclusive. He has an eight year old daughter that is the opposite to him in almost every way. Be nice to the kid to win his heart.
Sergi is a stocky man, dark hair, dark eyes, and is older than the player's character by a decade or two (he will call you 'pup'). He has a playful personality, but undergoes some serious trauma throughout the story, so loses that for a large chunk of the game's runtime. The romance is a little forbidden love, but leans more toward shared trauma bringing people together.
Carrie is small, skinny, and covered in sharp edges. She can be rude and abrasive, especially before she gets to know the player's character, but beneath that has a heart of gold, for those willing to take their time to get to know her. Enemies to lovers, but perhaps not in the traditional sense.
I hope that helped.

Monster Hunter! Reader x Minstrel! Siyeon - Toss A Coin
A/N: Hi guys, girls, and non-binary pearls! Hope you all are well! 😌 made this for my favorite Siyeon simps <3 @foolish-sparrow @neon-city-dreams and the fact that I watched The Witcher on Netflix with my family.
TW: Alcohol, blood, weaponry (knives), lots of mutual teasing and flirting, open ending(?)
Summary: A fateful meeting leads you to the flirtatious Siyeon, who manages to melt your cold heart. Luckily, she's been looking for someone who likes a bit of banter and who will withstand her teasing.
♡ Masterlist ♡
Tumblr media
As far as Siyeon was considered, her small bar-side minstrel gig had all the perks she needed: free drinks and food, paying customers, and lots and lots of pretty people to please.
Siyeon takes another sip of soju before wiping her lips and eyeing the guitar at her side. She's done no playing or singing tonight, yet she's earned a few rounds of drinks to enjoy along with some… interesting company.
The man next to her babbles on about some, to put it frankly, an unimportant topic that Siyeon will admit that she is not listening to. He attempted to put an arm around her, but after Siyeon expressed her disinterest, he immediately backed off and went back to the peaceful conversation.
"Hey, do you want to-"
Siyeon holds out a hand to shush the man next to her.
"Sorry, I have a gig to perform for a bit. I have to earn those drinks, you know?"
Siyeon sends a wink and warm smile to him, and once the man turns to the bartender, the smile comes clean off of her face. She grabs the guitar and strums a few strings while humming a simple tune. A cheer comes from a nearby table, and a genuine smile appears on Siyeon's face.
Siyeon stands up, and she feels more eyes settle on her. Even after this, the nerves fade away in the wake of the adrenaline. A loud laugh comes from her soft lips before she jumps onto a tabletop nearby.
More cheers and jeers erupt as Siyeon lets herself go. This is her element, and a makeshift stage is where she belongs.
Playing the guitar becomes automatic as the lyrics that she wrote just flow from her mouth. The rush, the high, and the way that she feels right now are something that cannot be replaced, not ever.
No romance will ever compare to the feeling that she has when she's doing what she loves. Not one person could ever give her the same desire to chase after that high time after time.
The thoughts race by like a stampede of frantic cattle as Siyeon finishes performing the last song. Everyone cheers, just like always. People reach out and congratulate her, just like always.
Not like always, she notes, that there is one person in the tavern who isn't cheering or congratulating her. They're not even making eye contact with her, yet Siyeon is intrigued by them. She's had her fair share of tomatoes and hecklers, but complete disinterest is something foreign to Siyeon.
Nothing is stopping her from turning away from that person and forgetting them as she parties the night away with her supporters, yet she wants to know who they are, and more importantly, why they would turn away from her?
Siyeon grabs a pair of drinks that are offered in the sea of people coming towards her, and she waves away or ignores the rest of them.
Something tells her that this person, whoever they are, will finally end the chase that she's been pursuing from such a young age.
~
Why can't I walk into a normal tavern?
You clean your bloodied knife with a towel that a hesitant bartender handed to you. After ordering the cheapest whiskey on the menu, you throw some spare coins on the table before taking a load off in the back corner of the tavern.
Luckily for you, the many scars and weapons lining your body makes you very unapproachable to most, and you appreciate that you get to be left alone for once.
The bounty was good money, especially for one on a werewolf. Usually, werewolves ended up being on the low end of bounties, but this one had a pretty penny on its end.
Unfortunately for you, the reason why that bounty was so high could be seen with the deep cut on your shoulder. You had cleaned and bandaged the weapon, but you were too lazy to change shirts. The ripped, tattered shirt could survive at least one or two more bounties, you figured. Your usual tailor was out of town as well, so you didn't have much of a choice in the matter as well.
JiU didn't ask about where the money came from or why your clothing was consistently covered in blood, but she made clothes that fit you well. You paid well, so there was no reason for her to ask questions in the first place.
You look up from your knife as a barmaid approaches your table with a sweet smile on her face. Once she spots the weapon in your hand, the smile on her face disappears.
"Here'syourdrink!" She squeaks out before setting the drink down, grabbing the coins, and quickly running away from you.
You chuckle before downing the small glass of whiskey. You like the way it burns as it travels down your throat since it distracts from the pain in your shoulder.
You like the quiet atmosphere that this tavern appears to have. It has a certain buzz that comes naturally to social gathering places, but no one was being too loud.
Well, that's how it was supposed to be, until a black-haired woman jumped onto a nearby table. With a guitar in hand, the bar begins to cheer as you roll your eyes.
Another drunken buffoon trying to get some coin without using any actual skills.
You notice that you're gripping the knife a little too tightly, so you quickly place it back with the rest of your knives before glancing over to the woman again.
She's started to sing, and her voice would sound angelic and perfect if you cared to hear what she was singing about.
You were busy and had things to do. You wanted one peaceful night with a few drinks to drown your pain in. Was that too much to ask for?
You just grumble to yourself until that annoying woman shuts her mouth, and of course, that is when the whole tavern erupts with laughter, cheering, and lots of loud talking.
You deeply sigh before playing with the bloody cloth in your hand.
Maybe this will continue to keep people away from me.
Everyone turns to congratulate and sweet talk the female minstrel, and you really couldn't care until you feel her eyes on you.
You've had a keen sense of when you're being watched as it's saved your ass on multiple occasions. Her eyes are no different, but they aren't predatory or in anger.
It's a look of curiosity, to put it simply. She's curious about you for God-knows-what reason, but you don't want to explore that cesspool of emotions and late night talking tonight.
One drink was enough for tonight, you reasoned with yourself. That's why you tried to leave, but you were trapped by the crowd that was just dying to see that stupid minstrel.
Well, isn't this just great!
~
"Hey~" Siyeon saddles up to the stranger's side while ignoring their clear-as-day unamused facial expression.
"Not interested in harlots." They grumble, which causes Siyeon to scoff.
"I am not a harlot! I have as much class as it takes to get me through the day."
"Yeah, it shows."
They try to push past Siyeon, but she won't let it happen.
Why won't you let me talk to you? Are you scared of what might happen… perhaps you'll fall in love with me?
"I'll pay for a drink if you'll sit and chat with me, even if for a moment," Siyeon begs before grabbing their arm.
The stranger cocks their eyebrow before sighing deeply.
"I like whiskey." They mutter before taking a seat at a nearby booth.
"What kind? There's lot to choose from, like-"
"The stronger, the better."
"Okay then…" Siyeon awkwardly stares off to the side before waving a barmaid over. "Two drinks, if you would. Whiskey for them, soju for me."
The barmaid nods before scurrying off, and Siyeon hears you scoff while relaxing into the cushion of the booth.
"She ran away because she was scared of me."
Siyeon curiously glances at you before shaking your head.
"I'm sure that's not the-"
You carelessly toss a knife on the table, which causes Siyeon to jump back in her seat.
"See? You're scared too."
"No, it's not like that-"
"You don't need to lie to me." For once, the intriguing stranger's eyes soften before becoming firm once again. "I can handle the truth, given what I do for a living."
"What do you do?"
"I'm a monster hunter. A better one, if I may say, since I'm not dead yet."
Siyeon tries her best not to snort while laughing.
"You amuse me…" She trails off while trying to catch your name.
"Yeah, you're not getting a name out of me, Siyeon."
"Yah! You know my name. That's not fair." A slight whine comes from her lips, and a slight smile appears on yours as Siyeon tries not to pout.
"Okay, okay… Y/N. That's my name, don't abuse it."
"Y/N, huh…" She repeats the name.
I like the way it rolls off of my tongue.
"What, you don't like it?" You tease as Siyeon sighs.
"No, I think it fits you."
"I sure hope it does, you know, since it's my name and all."
Siyeon laughs again.
"I like your sense of humor."
"Really? People think I can be dry at times… I'm glad to have your words to prove them wrong." They say as the barmaid quickly walks over.
She drops off Siyeon's order before moving to another table.
"Shall we drink?" Siyeon grabs her glass before sliding yours to you.
"Eh, why not?"
~
"You're going, Y/N? Is it your bedtime already?" Siyeon's comment annoys you, but her teasing isn't completely unwanted.
"No, I just have more important things to be doing, like not talking with you "
"Ouch, Y/N. Oh, how you wound me!" Siyeon dramatically places a hand over her heart, and you scoff before sliding out of the booth.
"Get used to it. I either stab people with my knives or my words. If I were you, I'd accept the rudeness." You calmly say as she stiffens up.
"You were going to stab me?"
"It depended on what you were going to try." You admit as Siyeon gasps.
"For the last time, I am not a harlot-"
"That's not what I meant, Siyeon, and I think you know that." You grumble.
"Oh, then what was on your mind, then? It probably was me~"
You feel your face heat up, but you refuse to give this flirt the satisfaction of knowing that her teasing and overall warmth melt your cold exterior.
"That's not… the case. Not at all. I think you're just fine."
"Lots of people think I'm fine. You'll have to say a more creative compliment if you want to capture my heart, my dear Y/N~"
"Is your head always so far up your ass, or am I getting to see a special side of the infamous Siyeon?" You joke as Siyeon tries to not spit out her drink.
"Infamous? Me?"
"Don't play coy with me, you flirtatious minx." You blatantly say. "I know all about you. I've heard stories from the tailor in town, along with a few of my monster-hunting friends. You've got a reputation that you… know how to play people as easily as you play that guitar."
"Why's that so important to you?" Siyeon softly asks, and you shake your head.
"I… hate to admit it, but I need your help. You're much more charming and beloved than I am. There's this person that I need information out of… but they are extremely hard to get a hold of. Luckily for me, she responds well to beautiful women."
"You think I'm beautiful?"
"...Besides the point, but yes, I do."
"What's her name, and where do I need to meet you?"
"Wait, you want to do th-"
Siyeon interrupts you by placing a hand on yours.
"There's something different about you. I knew it when I laid my eyes on you."
"Oh Siyeon, you say that to everyone."
"You're not everyone, though, and that's what makes you so great." She offers you a warm smile, and you don't think that you can fall any further for her charms. "Once again, I will ask you for her name, and where I need to meet you."
"Sana…. And we should meet outside of this bar in three days." You quickly say before pulling your hand away from hers.
"What about your clothing? You're not going when you look like that, right?"
"The tailor's out of town. What am I-"
"-I know someone who can help. JiU has an apprentice, you know?"
You cross your arms and stare at Siyeon curiously.
"Who would that be, exactly?"
~
Who did Siyeon send me to, and why does she look like a child?
The young tailor's youthful features and kind smile tell you that she has no idea who the fuck you are, and what you do.
So JiU hasn't told her anything… that's good.
"Excuse me, but you're JiU's apprentice, right?" You gently ask, and she excitedly nods.
"In the blood and flesh. You can call me Gahyeon because it's weird for people to call me JiU's apprentice. It feels too formal for what I do."
You nod in acknowledgment.
"I'll make note of it."
"So, what brings you to our humble store, then?"
"I need some new clothes."
"....What kind of clothes?"
You toss the torn shirt on the counter, and Gahyeon analyzes the shirt with horrified curiosity.
"Something that'll prevent this from happening again."
"Got it!" Gahyeon says as you throw a bag of money on the counter. "That's way more money than I need, you know."
"It's not just for the shirt."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't ask any more questions, and the money's yours."
"Oh, okay…" Gahyeon scoops up the money, and she heads to the back of the store. "It'll be done in a day or two!"
~
"Look what the cat dragged in…" Siyeon taunts you as you take a seat next to her at the bar. "How'd it go with Gahyeon?"
"She didn't ask many questions, so I would say that it went well."
"Really? Gahyeon usually doesn't shut up when I come in."
"To be fair, you're not exactly quiet either."
"I would be offended by that, but you're cute, so I guess I can let it go." Siyeon shrugs before sliding over a shot of whiskey. "I got you some whiskey. You're welcome, by the way."
"Wasn't going to say thank you anyway." You quickly take the shot before continuing to talk with Siyeon. "Can I have some rum?"
"Of course, anything for you." She winks, and you hide your embarrassment as she chuckles. "You're really cute, considering that you could easily kill me if you wanted to."
"Don't tempt me, Siyeon." You mutter as she hands the shot glass to the bartender.
"I'm surprised you came and sat with me at the bar. I thought you preferred sitting in the back."
"I did, but then someone came and changed me." You say as the bartender sets the shot of rum on the counter.
"Oh, and who would that be?"
"I'm not stroking your ego, Siyeon." You roll your eyes before drinking the rum.
"Aww, so it was me! I appreciate the sentiment." She smiles, and you shake your head.
"I know you tease me about acting differently than I look, but you're much nicer than I thought you would be." You shyly admit as Siyeon blushes.
"I'm honored that you think so highly of me, Y/N." Siyeon softly says.
"That sentiment goes both ways." You confirm, and Siyeon chuckles.
"So… you want to get out of here?" Siyeon asks, and your eyes widen. "No, no, I didn't mean it like that-"
"A midnight walk sounds fantastic. Maybe I can tell you about Sana, and you can tell me some more about yourself."
"If I didn't know you better, Y/N, I'd say you were trying to flirt with me." Siyeon chuckles to herself, but you're deadly serious.
"Maybe I am." You mutter under your breath.
"Ah-ha! You are so much different than you seem. I like this part of you, but honestly, I just like you, Y/N."
"I like you too, Siyeon. Much more than I ever should."

🕊️🩸Looking for people aged 21+ to write a M/M plot-centric and character-driven story with me over Discord! I am 25+ non-binary.
So, I've got an OC I've had very high muse for lately. He's a progenitor vampire, and I'd love to write him against a progenitor werewolf! Give me your most powerful werewolf for my powerful vamp! He needs someone to humble him for real. I want these guys to be on the more equal side in terms of authority, influence, and power! I am not looking to write against a cinnamon roll personality for this plot because I want there to be angst and tension between these two. That's imperative. As always, please be open to dead dove themes throughout the plot.
As far as potential tropes go. this could be a 'us vs the world,' 'enemies to lovers,' 'long time rivals to lovers,' 'them being forced to team up,' etc. I feel we can add a lot of different seasonings to this potential plot we can craft together! That's why I am leaving it a bit more open-ended. So, do not reach out to me if you are not willing to plot a long-term story together!
Please be willing to write up to novella length with proper grammar, but three full paragraphs at the very least. I need enough to work with! Be able to reply once a week to the roleplay! And I'd love if you'd be able to gush about our OCs together! I feel like that makes it more fun long-term.
Give a like to this post and I will reach out! We'll chit-chat through Tumblr DMs first to ensure we match before I create a server for us on Discord!
like if interested !

Harry Potter Head-canons (1/?)
First off let me just say that I have always and will always adore the actors and actresses who portrayed all our favorite and not so favorite characters, and the crew and directors who brought Harry Potter to life. They made magic real and their contributions can never be understated.
This is not about them though. It’s hard to remember but the Harry Potter films were made in a time before the current push for more and more representation, that’s not an excuse, just the facts (with the one exception that will be brought up, obvs). And the same is true for the books, though that is a whole can of worms I do not feel like getting into in this very positive post.
Representation matters. When POC voices say they need representation, listen. When we change media to suit that need, it’s not a dig at what came before.
That being said, I dropped out of the fandom a few years ago, and after heavy reflection I’m back, but on my terms this time, no one else’s, canon or not.
My Hermione Granger is biracial (like me). Her father, Robert, is a strong Black father from a strong Black Family with deep ties to their heritage and culture, and a drive for excellence in all things done. Her mother, who’s name varies from fic to fic tbh, is biracial too. She grew up in a very different but still loving family from her husband, with a Black mom who immersed her in Black culture and an Irish father who taught her how to fight for what she wanted, no matter what others had to say about it. Hermione grew up in a secure and happy home with parents and grandparents who gave her culture and valued and fostered her intelligence, and made sure she had a stiff upper lip to make it through other people’s bs opinion of her. She might falter, but she never breaks. Also, she really has a thing for older guys (Ron is the only exception and a total fluke).
My Harry Potter has heavy Welsh and Desi roots from James’ side of the family. Unfortunately, thanks to Petunia and Vernon he is constantly put down for both of these things and grows up without the rich culture his father had been born into and hoped to pass on to his son. The amount of Desi blood Harry has depends on the fic. The big one I’m currently working on has his father’s, father’s mother being full Indian. James’ father was adopted but his maternal aunt was still a huge part of his life and worked hand in hand with his adoptive parents to give him a life filled with his mother’s culture, which he passed on to James. Oh and he’s bisexual, it’s just that Cedric was the only guy in school that he really lusted after and we all know how that ended up. He and Ginny (who is also bi) love to occasionally rate celebrities and random strangers both male and female, its kinda adorable.
My Lavender Brown is Black. My one true bone to pick with the movies, is the one I think we all in the know have, with Lavender being Black until she became a main love interest for Ron and then was recast to a white actress (maybe it was incidental, maybe it wasn’t, doesn’t matter my brain fixed it). Lavender had two loving Black parents (I’m done with the broken home stereotype for Black parents can you tell?). After her failure dating Ron she finally came out of the closet as a lesbian and started dating Parvati. In most of my fics, Lavender survives (usually as a werewolf) and Parvati sticks with her and the two live happily ever after.
My Ginny Weasley (as stated above) is bisexual. She and Luna definitely had a thing going throughout their school time together and Luna was really there for Ginny in the last year of the war with Harry and the gang gone and all the stress. My Ginny is also a non-binary demigirl [she/they], not a tomboy, who starts to really explore her gender after the war is out of the way. Harry is a super supportive boyfriend/husband and he helps her through her gender diaspora during their pregnancy with some their children (which never gets easier so they switch to surrogacy).
My Ron Weasley really has a thing for POC women, he is completely incurable (thank merlin). Whoever he ends up with (in my head its not always Hermione) they are 10 times out of 10 going to be POC in some way. And he really immerses himself in whatever culture he has to to ensure his children grow up in their mother’s culture, no matter what they come out looking like.
My Remus Lupin is/was pansexual and was in love with Sirius most of his life. Part of his guilt and reluctance with Tonks is because of Sirius. I have very strong feelings about his werewolf nature (and werewolf demonization in general), but I’ll leave that to another post. I do still have Sirius die in most fics, but I believe there are worlds where these two make it every time and get to have some freaking peace and quiet together.
My Sirius Black is aro-ace and has only ever thought about Remus as a partner in those categories. Because he is emotionally stunted, he has no idea how to handle it and needs help to get a relationship started.
My Ted Tonks is Black or at least mixed race, and the only thing the Black Family hate about him is that he is muggleborn. Wizards do not care about colorism they way we muggles do, nor do they really care about sexuality and gender (Pure-blood families only care that their children procreate with other untainted people), they legitimately couldn’t care less. Totally headcanon that this has always been a point in contention of why Pure-blood Families see themselves as morally superior to muggles while missing the point of the other serious societal problems they have.
My Nymphadora Tonks is as genderfluid as her metamorphic abilities and pansexual. She never really had to think to hard about it and was pretty much born out of the closet. It helps really spice up her love life, especially her relationship with Remus. She’s aware of the Sirius thing and tries to help Remus through his grief and doesn’t really push him even though she’s hopelessly in love with him.
My Severus Snape is somewhere on the aro-ace spectrum, he doesn’t think about it much. I do love letting him live to have an actually redemption arc where he finally breaks the cycle of abuse.
My Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan are gay and in love. It took Dean longer to get there but Seamus is stupidly happy when he does. The two go on to raise an adorable little family.
My Theodore Nott is demisexual and not evil. He got out from under his father’s influence to great risk to himself and later became an Auror. He and Harry are good friends. He has a massive crush on Harry. Also, he dated Daphne Greengrass and Blaise Zabini at some point in his life.
My Blaise Zabini is gay. Very gay. Need I say more?
My Mrs. Zabini isn’t a serial murderess, she was cursed to love again and again and for all those she married to die horrible deaths. She has tried to go celibate but part of the curse is that she cannot. Blaise and Theodore Nott go on a side quest at some point to help break her curse, probably.
My Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy are both bisexual and occasionally enjoy the company of others in their bed. They’ve both probably propositioned Snape at some point. Draco, thank merlin, never finds out about any of this and goes his whole life blissfully ignorant of his parents wild secret lives.
My Draco Malfoy is on the aro-ace spectrum and finds certain people aesthetically pleasing but very rarely has any romantic or sexual feelings for them. He does however, like a good number of people do, have a crush on Harry at various points in his life. He’s emotionally stunted though so he acts like a child about it.
There’s more but I’ll leave it at that. If you want more info about the big fic I’m currently working on let me know. I may never actually write more than one-shots inside the world I built for it so it will be nice to get some stuff out for people to see. As for Next Gen headcanons I reserve those on a fic by fic, world by world basis so if there is a separate post for them it would be fic specific and not set in complete stone. I love to use my Next Gen characters to suit my needs for storytelling.
Bye.

Who will you trust with your heart?
Your Classmate that hates you:
"You have history, don't you? Because he looks like he wants to wring your neck."
Zane Baron (He/Ey)
You two have history, a messy and possibly bloody one. You used to be close before you messed it all up, sometimes when you look in his eyes, you can see the longing for a friendship that once burned bright.
Can you fix it? Do you want to fix it?
Zane is a non-binary man, more detailed information on em HERE.
-
Your classmate with the heart of snow:
"He's distant, lost, no idea what he wants. But by god is he talented, hopefully, he doesn't waste it."
Evander Snær Haytham (He/Him)
Your professor's son. Only in this class because the other option is expulsion. He tries to keep you, as well as everyone else, at a distance, but you find his eyes on you when he thinks you aren't looking.
What is he hiding behind his cold exterior?
Evander is a trans man, more detailed information on him HERE.
-
The romantic one:
"Xe has a look of hope in xyr eyes whenever the topic of love and romance comes up, too bad, given xyr nature."
Aimé LìÀi Sūn (Xe/Xyr)
A gentle soul and one of the very few vampires you will ever meet. Xe tends to keep to xyrself even though xe's one of the most popular people in school, people love to adore xyr from afar- but fear getting too close to someone who drinks blood.
Do you fear xyr?
Aimé is agender, more detailed information on xyr HERE.
-
The school's only alpha:
"They’ve made an immense impact on this school already, as the first werewolf to join."
Nova Madden (She/They)
Everyone was shocked that a werewolf managed to join, especially without a pack following them. Yet here she is, a constant smile in place. They easily make friends with those around her. However, not many werewolves are known to thrive without a pack behind them as support.
Would you like to support her?
Nova genderfluid, feeling either feminine (she/her) or androgynous (they/them). More detailed information on them HERE.
-
The king/queen of the school:
"The elf’s interest in you is odd. Be wary of that one."
Kane Laurier (He/Him or She/Her)
Elves aren’t a common occurrence in the school anymore, but Kane showed up and makes sure everyone knows how happy they are to be here. People love them, they throw the wildest parties and for some reason they keep inviting you personally to every single one.
Will you fall for their charms?
Kane is an enigma, so you get to pick their pronouns and if they present in a more masculine or feminine manner. More detailed information on them HERE.
-
??
"You've got to be fucking kidding me. Ingenio, stay away from that one, if you can. But it looks like she has her eye on you."
Mystery ro (She/Fae)
Someone you don't know yet. Perhaps, someone you shouldn't want to know. But fae sure wants to know you.
The mystery ro is a nonbinary woman.
-
Poly routes: Zane-MC-Aimé (tagged poly Zaimé), Nova-Mc-Kane (tagged poly None, i will try my best to make this one happen!)

✨Roleplay Partner Search✨
I'm looking for 18+ text based roleplay partners that are active and can meet the following requirements:
Long-term: I am used to doing a semi-to-slow burn and have written easily into the hundreds of thousands of words with a dedicated partner.
Paragraph-Literature Style (Third Person): I can easily do one thousand words for a post but have done more during setup and a bit less for dialogue-heavy interaction. Quality over quantity but attempting to match length is appreciated.
Activity: I like to post multiple times a day if possible and would enjoy someone who could meet this pace. I'm in US EST, and my schedule is currently very open. Once a day would be acceptable as well.
LGBTQ Friendly Pairings: I heavily enjoy playing male/male, male/transman and male/non-binary character dynamics.
BDSM/Kink Friendly: I like to use Safe, Sane and Consensual as well as Risk Aware Consensual Kink if we are adding BDSM elements. I have a wide variety of kinks, so please don't be shy when asking after one!
Fandoms: The following are my preferred fandoms with the setup being Top/bottom (* is who I enjoy playing.)
Attack on Titan
Levi*/Eren
Pairings: These dynamics are what I enjoy the most when creating either a fandom or original roleplay. No preference is given to which is played and what side of the slash is top or bottom.
Human/Werewolf
Human/Merfolk
Human/Eldritch Horror
Human/Demon
Mage/Demon
Mage/Summoned
Werewolf/Werewolf
Alpha/Omega
Teacher/Student
Master/Slave (BDSM oriented)
Kidnapper/Kidnapped
Stalker/Victim
Neglected Spouse/Enamored Neighbor
Camboy/Watcher
Brother/Brother (Can be twins or adopted)
Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby
Genres/Tropes: These are elements that I adore including in my writing when building a plot with a partner. Not everything has to be added but just know these are well loved.
Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics
Soulmates/Fated Mates
Hurt/Comfort
Mpreg
Reincarnation
Angst
Slowburn
Fuck or Die
Monsterfucking
Soul Bonds
Yandere (Lovers don't hurt each other)
Enemies to Lovers
Forbidden Lovers
Things I Need: I love to world build and plan. The plot and characters matter over the smut but I definitely don't mind doing a lot of smut if the setup requires it (BDSM themes exploring character vulnerability and growth for example.)
Things that I Dislike: Straight up slice of life without any paranormal elements or conflict. I just find the pacing and themes too dull to keep my interest. No god-modding and please, let me know if you lose your muse or want to try something else. I won't be offended and understand, I promise!
Places: I prefer to roleplay through Discord or Email. It helps me keep track of things and stay active.
-x-
Here are some plots I have!
~Fixated~
Themes: Eldritch Creature, Mutual Obsession, Dark Themes. Possessive Love. A Darker Love.
Levi is an Eldritch God of the Void that has been masquerading as a school janitor while feeding on the students there. Eren is a new student baffled by all of the rumors surrounding the staff member, even though none of them are anywhere close to the truth. Levi is bored but Eren wants to know him more.
Hook: They develop a mutual obsession with each other. Eren is amusing at first but then has the God experiencing love for the first time. Eren and Levi fall into a dark but all encompassing love.
Additional secret: They can be reincarnated from canon to add more interest.
~Take Me Further~
Themes: Actual BDSM, Kinks, Fetishes, Dynamics and RP borrowing real life experiences from someone in the community.
Levi is a community leader of the local BDSM chapter while Eren is a brand new submissive that is eager and wants to try. This RP is meant to share and develop a unique experience with the character's dynamics and how they discover themselves and each other.
Note: Any dynamics or tropes listed above can be worked in these plots.

ok, since you seem to be an active shipping member of the crujo/kuphulu/viktor polycule, do u have any hcs for the goth boyfriends?
Anon, ty so much for noticing me in my shipping obsessions, ily (platonically) but yes! I do! Its mostly just general stuff abt their relationship--but I'll throw in some non-relationship stuff.
-for starters, kuphulu is DEFINITELY the only person in the triad that is trans (ftm + definitely not binary for sure) and not amab; viktor is cis and crüjo is a libramasc but cis person as well--both are binary
-viktor and kuphulu were in the relationship first before crujo came into the mix--I kinda have a hc that they (Vik and Kuphulu) began to date when they were younger and before they were hired by Zs'Skayr to be henchmen but kept it a secret. And when they were in their job they met crujo and then they became a triad
-there's a 10 to 20 year age gap, but all of them are adults; crujo is in his 30s (youngest), kuphulu is in his 40s (middle-aged), and viktor is in his 50s (oldest). I wanna say that when viktor first appeared in the series "The Return" (OG b10) he would've been in his late 40s imo
-all three of them are neither allistic nor neurotypical; viktor is neurodivergent in some ways, crujo is an energetic ADHD werewolf, and kuphulu is auDHD (autism + adhd) with depression, insomnia, bpd and avpd (I, myself, don't have adhd; but I am mostly self-projecting my personality disorders, autism, and insomnia on this man)
-continuing above, crujo and viktor had early diagnoses before puberty (medical), while kuphulu was late. One of my hcs is that viktor grew up in a family from both sides of his parents that were involved in science in some way (whether medical, in the field in general, biology, geographical, etc) and he has a uncle from his late mom's side in the medical science field who is also a psychiatrist and a diagnostician who helped his nephew (viktor) being professionally diagnosed with neurodivergency. His uncle also helped Kuphulu getting a proper ADHD/autism and borderline + avoidant personality diagnosis in his early 30s cuz kuphulu once tried to get one at Anur Khufos and had a bad experience.
-drilling more in kuphulu's neurodivergence: he is definitely a night owl due to his insomnia, and therefore has a TERRIBLE sleep schedule and has to rely on tea remedies and melatonin to get a proper 8 hours; the tendrils on his back fluttering is most likely a stim from his autism/ADHD--including having a problem with voice modulation, which I got inspired from this post by @/kuphulwho; going back to Omniverse, it mentions he collects artifacts--this is more likely a hyperfixation and obsession from his autism and BPD since he probably has a special interest in them--additionally, he also has anger issues from BPD as well (since I, myself, would get swings from my borderline personality disorder at times); I would also like to highlight on his Cluster C disorder (AvPD) where as he doesn't go out in public too often, very introverted, and very much just like to stay inside and do his hobbies.
-another thing I love about their relationship? Fucking the SIZE DIFFERENCE. Viktor and Crujo are SO FUCKING HUGE and TALL, and Kuphulu is canonically a short king 💞. Like, both Viktor and Crujo are the same size while Kuphulu isn't past their shoulders (see the two images below for evidence) I would imagine that they share a bed for three people and Kuphulu would sleep in the middle as a certified little spoon bc even if he did sleep on the left or right he would fall over lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-kuphulu and viktor are DEFINITELY wife and husband material (in that order) while crujo is mostly just werewolf boyfriend material. Like saying before about kuphulu's insomnia, he would've stayed up all night and therefore is a late sleeper in the morning while viktor and crujo are early risers. And when kuphulu eventually wakes up there's coffee already brewed for him. Additionally, kuphulu is a great baker (to which he got that skill from his maternal uncle and paternal aunt while growing up/living with them). Crujo can't cook for shit, lol, but he's decent at doing laundry.
-since kuphulu's VA is the same guy that did Herbert West from Re-Animator (aka Jeffery Combs), I would imagine he has the same knowledge as Dr. West himself. In fact, in the scrapped storyboard scene of "The Vampire Strikes Back", it was shown he has a knowledge for Vladats and knows them extremely well (image below for provided evidence). I would like to think he was an early grad in high school who was a major in History, Math and Science; possibly be like some sort of historian along with being like a really smart mortician who has a astonished knowledge in history (hence mystical artifacts) and medical science. Viktor is already a scientist (possibly a Professional college graduate degree/diploma in Science, Mechanical/Engineering, Math), but I would imagine he let's kuphulu help him with specimens and chemicals. Crujo would probably just finished high school and work with mechanics.

How’d you get here? /lh
Regardless how you found this, welcome to my current pinned post! My name is “PK” or “Pency”, whichever you prefer. I create narrative audio roleplay videos as well as screech over other narrative audio roleplay videos (/lh). I may eventually post art here as well, who knows, I kind of go with the flow.
That being said, I’ll be providing an overview of my characters and setting for those who are interested. Enjoy!
[Setting]
The main city where most of this universe is set is Noderum. Characters off the top of my head who specifically don’t live here are Dominique and Kordelia. The existence of magic and such is hidden from stagnants, but stagnant and vivified people alike live in this city. 
[Characters (as of last update)]
Romeo [he/him]: Cupid neighbor who might as well be scowling 24/7
Nova [mirrored pronouns]: A Necromancer who doubles as a healer. Also an avid nicknamer
Jessalyn [she/her]: A Water Derivative, she’ll sleep when she graduates. Maybe.
Valora [she/her]: Residential Vampire Girlfriend
Mycah* [they/them]: Loving partner, that’s honestly it /lh /pos
Kordelia* [she/her]: Local mail carrier (and bookish friend) who’s just trying to make it through each day
Solstice [she/they]: Friendly Cupid, feel free to hit her up anytime you need something
Serena [she/her]: Flirty Werewolf and the Beta of one of Noderum’s Werewolf packs (the Coulson pack, to be specific)
Eritus [he/she/they**]: (Fallen) Cupid Roommate
Harley [they/he]: Our 2nd residential Vampire or the “Vampire Lover”
Emerson [they/them]: Nervous HIVE classmate
“Retriever” [she/her]: Yandere Best Friend (Only given a nickname. For now.)
Dominique [they/them***]: Mysterious Flirt (and a speaker from early days of the channel) 
Dante [he/they]: Tsundere Server dubbed "The Ice Prince" by many
Grayson [Any pronouns]: Southern Werewolf Mate
*Stagnant characters
**Pronouns shift/change
***Also utilizes/is comfortable with masculine identifiers and pronouns at times.
[Note: While Solstice has no canonical visual design, her, Kordelia, and Dominique are all intended to be black characters. (See FAQ for more info)]
[Listener Nicknames]
“Sunshine” - Romeo’s listener* (but they pop up in other characters’ audios as well), a Light Derivative
“Doll” - Nova’s listener, a Werewolf**
“Peaches” - Jessalyn’s listener, a Cupid
“Beloved” - Valora’s listener, a Dynamic
“Baby” - Mycah’s listener
“Dear” - Kordelia’s listener
“Hon” - Serena’s listener, a Dynamic***
“Fangs” - Eri’s listener, a Vampire (big shock /lh)
“Gorgeous” - Harley’s listener, a stagnant human
“Saint” - “Retriever’s” listener, a Dynamic (specifically studying music)
“Sweetness” - Dominique’s listener, a stagnant human
“Sugar” - Grayson's listener, a (telepathic) Surveyor
And for those curious, Solstice has multiple listeners but has a recurring listener nicknamed “Bee” (An Earth Derivative)
*Now shared with Emerson as well
**Also referred to as “Bait” by Serena/their pack
***Nicknamed “Flashlight” by Dante, their coworker
[Potential FAQ]
“What kind of content do you make?” - Loosely speaking, I’d describe the channel as “4A”. I have characters of varying genders (including non-binary) so to label myself one way would be a bit counterproductive. To put it simply: You can expect M4A, F4A, and NB4A content on the channel.
“What does [insert character] look like?” - The only characters who have canon designs are Kordelia and Dominique, as shown in the older videos. Everyone else is up for interpretation based on their respective audios. 
“What gender is [insert listener] and what do they look like?” - Also up for interpretation! All listeners are referred to with neutral pronouns for this reason, so go wild. 
“What does stagnant/vivified mean?” - Stagnant = Humans without the ability to practice magic, or in simpler terms the unempowered population. Vivified = Non-stagnants, any individual who is capable of practicing magic. Cupids are also considered a vivified species despite not being humans.
“What vivified species are there?” - As of current canon, there are Cupids, Derivatives (beings whose abilities are tied to an element outside of themself), Dynamics (non-specific vivified humans), Necromancers, Vampires, Werewolves, Sirens, Divinators (beings who can naturally practice divination), Surveyors (there’ll be an audio at some point /lh), and Tailors (general shapeshifters). 
“How do Nova’s pronouns work?” - Mirrored pronouns mean you use your own pronouns to refer to Nova. You use he/him? Great, so will Nova. They/them? Go wild. Neopronouns? Whatever you use, Nova’s down to use too. You’ll hear speakers do the same when referring to Nova.

( brigette lundy-paine , non-binary , they/them ) las vegas may be packed with people, but jess hinkley has been on my mind. originally hailing from las vegas, the twenty six year old has been in vegas for their entire life. i know they’re a hiking trail guide , but there’s a rumor on the strip saying they’re also a werewolf. after some thought that makes sense , they can be + big-hearted , but also - half-baked. ask any local they’ll say they remind them of adrenaline-filled nights on carnival rides, whooping and hollering at old friends across the street, smoke leaking out from between lips as they laugh under neon lights, crooked smiles leaning out of the passenger’s side window, & dancing with strangers on their way home.
hi - diddly - ho , neighborinos ! your friendly neighborhood maeby ( 27, they / she, mst ) coming in hot and so stoked to be here ♡ i’m bringing my favorite little goofball,  jess ! so without further ado…
▻  STATS
preferred name: jess hinkley nicknames: yes, jessie, the hinks languages known: english, asl, conversational spanish birthday: april 1st, 1997 hometown: las vegas, nevada, usa zodiac: aries sun, sagittarius moon, leo rising interests: nature hikes, fun dip, buzzfeed quizzes, roadtrips, wailing on drums, air hockey tournaments, sweet & salty snack combinations, talking heads, john hughes-esque ‘80s movies, having to be introduced to current music after listening to 80s-90s their entire life tldr; permanent class clown and former athlete almost makes it big, hits rock bottom (cough, is attacked and turned by a werewolf, cough), then devotes the rest of their life to the beauty of normal things and the importance of living in the moment. mostly just smokes weed, hikes, and goofs off. again, is a werewolf. pinterest: peruse here ! playlist: listen here !
▻  ABOUT
tw: parental death, werewolf attack, injuries
jess was born and raised right here in las vegas; their late mother’s hometown. you see, their parents met in kansas city, missouri where jess’s father (guy) was apprenticing under a rbbq pitmaster at the restaurant jess’s mother (robin) waited tables at during college. when they fell in love and got married, they moved back to las vegas to be near robin’s family. tragically, robin died when jess was eleven years old and they were raised through their adolescence by their father and older brother (elijah).
despite being a major goofball and terrible student, jess was a positive role model for their younger sister (mackenzie) and a big help at robin’s; the barbecue joint guy opened when they moved to las vegas to raise their children. as jess grew up, it seemed they were destined for greatness by way of their athletic prowess. unfortunately, right before their twenty-first birthday and their national track-and-field debut, they were badly injured in a werewolf attack and lost their place in the competition.
jess’s brother elijah was also injured and turned in the attack, but thankfully, the wolf didn’t lay a single claw on their sister mackenzie. nevertheless, for jess and elijah, surviving meant having the werewolf’s curse passed onto them. now that they know what’s lurking behind las vegas’s neon lights, neither of them are willing to leave their family behind or uproot them; certainly not until mackenzie is done with college and guy is ready to retire. at least the two of them have each other, right?
▻  HEADCANONS
jess calls charcuterie “grown-up lunchables” no matter who they’re around.
jess’s taste in music is 100% based on their father and late mother’s playlists from when jess was a young’un. if they can remember the two of them dancing to it in the kitchen, it’s on jess’s favorite playlist. they have a portrait of talking heads’ founder david byrne in a gold frame in their home like many people have portraits of jesus christ.
jess wasn’t a good student in school, but they have a knack for learning languages. they grew up in a household that used asl for mackenzie, jess’s younger sister, so that was a given, but they’re also fluent in spanish and have conversational skills in french and japanese.
▻  CONNECT IDEAS
fellow werewolves ! witch friends from the arcade ! vampires who vibe with our wee werewolf weirdo ! sirens jess has casually fallen in love with twenty times ! supernatural beings who defy stereotypes to hang with jess !
the other half of jess' podcast duo ( maybe trio? ) since there’s no way jess doesn’t have a podcast that a whole twelve people listen to every week – i picture them talking about haunted places in las vegas à la buzzfeed unsolved / ghost files or random topics with too much energy like the basement yard
texting buds who share memes and not much else
someone jess keeps just constantly running into somewhere, they absolutely cannot get rid of each other and fate seems to have decided that they’re in each other’s lives whether they like it or not
fellow regulars at jess’ favorite haunts, where they spent too much time making fast friends with the employees and then loitering like they also work there. examples: pizza places, bars, arcades, bookstores, record shops, climbing gyms, hipster cafes, locally owned breweries, etc
people who only know them from the parties they throw ( which have truly ridiculous themes, often result in noise complaints, and are always a wild time )
someone who hates jess because their chaotic antics have consequences, just not on them. jess is a runaway bull in a china shop and at the end of the day, someone has to clean up the china shop, right?
returned and unrequited crushes, exes, flings, a “ will they, won’t they ”
any friendly connect, considering jess sees the good / a good time in almost everyone
a less than friendly connect, since jess isn’t everyone’s cup of tea
anything under the sun you might be vibing !

'binary eclipse' was the fifth fic posted for 'dark star - an izch anthology.'
Discussion of dark themes, gender dysphoria and the discussion of the trans experience, date rape, past rape/non-con, mortal/immortal relationships, vampire and werewolf sex, including bloodsucking, torture, and other triggering content below this cut. There will also be spoilers for the fic, if you want to read it for yourself first.
Fic stats:
~40,000 words
5 chapters
E rated (explicit sexual content, mortal/immortal relationships, rape/non-con, torture, blood and gore, horror elements)
Archive Warnings (AO3): Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con
Urban Fantasy AU (No Quirks/Heroes University, with fantastical elements)
'binary eclipse' is a multichapter fic concerning a modern university AU where trans girl Izumi 'Deku' Midoriya is date raped at a party after already living a tough life to get as far as she is. Struggling with university life already, she spirals after her experience, only to meet 'Yuu Takeyama,' an odd-looking young woman who seems awfully familiar, spinning Izumi's world upside down.
So, it's funny really. Before BNHA, my special interests were generally superheroes (I was really into the MCU, I just wasn't into fandom in the formal sense before the pandemic) and horror films. If someone was at all familiar with my more 'traditional work,' I think this would be very obvious, truth be told. Horror themes appear sporadically in my work, mostly subdued as I try to write for a mostly teen-rated audience in a lot of it, and obviously, I love superheroes. You probably wouldn't think that I do, given how critical I am of superhuman society in BNHA in my work, but that's more just taking the themes to their logical conclusions.
'binary eclipse,' accordingly, was primarily inspired by a few horror-themed fics I read. I got to thinking about izch Little Red Riding Hood, actually, partly because one of the official Halloween costumes Ochako has been assigned in Hori's bonus sketches is as Little Red Riding Hood. Traditionally, Little Red Riding Hood can be interpreted as a rather heteronormative story concerning a predatory, broadly masculine wolf and a defenseless, often very young girl he preys on. Yet famously, in the original story, the Big Bad Wolf crossdresses to try and 'fool' Little Red Riding Hood, to varying degrees of success based on the particular retelling. This in turn got me thinking about gender roles, reinterpretations of themes, and the idea of 'fem!Deku' as a trope.
Now, conceptually, I have no problem with genderbending. I do think it's normally tacky to genderbend gay ships into straight ships. Fandom will crow on and on that 'M/F ships aren't inherently straight,' and that's true, but narrative framing is an important literary idea for a reason. However, I think genderbending a straight ship into a gay ship, as long as you take what that premise implies seriously, is an interesting writing exercise. Hence, 'sapphic izch' is my favorite version of the ship, and I think a lot about the thought experiment of 'what if BNHA was the same, except Deku was a girl?'
Of course, if it was as such, BNHA would've been cancelled after two volumes, and no one would ship izch no matter how bluntly obvious Hori made the romantic undertones, but I digress.
There were a variety of influences on 'binary eclipse.' One big one is an iconic horror film, 'Ginger Snaps,' a Canadian film from 2000. Another was SevenRenny (@sevenrenny) and their fic 'The Root of All the Poison,' which really stuck with me. Really, I'm not here to write a book about horror influences, there was a lot, 'cause I love horror films. Point was, I wanted to make Deku a girl, and I wanted to make her a werewolf. However, as easy as it would've been to make her a cis girl, I think making her trans was the more obvious choice; what are werewolves if not one of the classic pieces of trans iconography, after all?
I think this distinction is important when discussing genderbending. I think there's something fundamentally different and important between a character being trans and a character just now being 'a girl.' I think it's okay to just want to do that second thing, and not all fic has to be 'good representation.' That's fine! But how this topic is handled will greatly affect if a fic is good, at least to me, so I went into this one wanting it to write about the trans experience, especially as it pertains to my own life.
This fic is semi-autobiographical, albeit very blown out of proportion, of course. That's all I'll say about that.
For Ochako, making her a vampire was also an easy choice. It let me riff off of now-classic 'vampires vs. werewolves' iconography, it let me talk about the interesting subtext of Ochako and Toga as a relationship, and it let me make her 'magical' in a distinctly different way. Ochako/Toga is a ship that I used to really adore, and I still like them, but as the manga has progressed the fandom has become quite insufferable about how it postures about Ochako/Toga as another totem for migratory slash fandom to conveniently get female characters out of the way of their ships. I ship Deku/Bakugou, for the record! The fandom all around is merely aggravating, and as both the third act of the manga has descended into absolutely abysmal writing and the fandom has become acutely annoying, I now tend to avoid Ochako/Toga content, unfortunately.
That doesn't mean I don't enjoy writing them, though. It's one of those things where I only really like them if I'm writing them now. There's going to be sort of a gradient of portrayals of Ochako and Toga in 'dark star,' from the antagonistic, abusive relationships they have in 'bound' or 'binary eclipse,' to being friendly and supportive in 'dragon's breath,' to close, complicated friends in some planned upcoming fics, such as 'paths forward' or 'finite incantatem.' There's even one planned fic for 'dark star' that will involve the famous Deku/Ochako/Toga OT3, which will be set in one of the various planned fantasy AUs.
For 'binary eclipse' specifically, I was riffing off of a fairly direct transliteration of canon, except where Toga isn't 'saved.' It's meant to be tragic, where she is an abused person who has in turn embraced the abusive system that hurt her. A common theme in BNHA fandom is the notion that the villains are quasi-revolutionary, but really they just want to watch the world burn in canon. Toga in this fic is a very small-scale version of this, choosing to lash out because of how she was treated, while Ochako bears the brunt of that ire. It's not going to make the world a better place, but it's also sad and miserable, not uplifting, when she dies.
Her backstory is also a homage to 'Bloodborne,' the 2015 video game by FromSoftware, which was another influence on this fic.
There's a lot of complex themes in this fic, largely dealing with both Izumi and Ochako going through a rape recovery narrative together. For Izumi, her experience is raw and fresh, trying to grapple with being a trans girl and now experiencing what is unfortunately one of the more common 'girl' experiences: being date raped at a party. Meanwhile, Ochako is recovering from long-term partner abuse, walking away from her position as Himiko's 'pet' vampire underling, trying to grapple with what she was made to do while effectively in captivity. A lot of the queer themes intermingle with these fantastical elements, which I had fun with.
One sort of incidental element to this fic is that 'soulmates' are real, in the sort of blunt 'fanfic' manner. That is, two people are soulmates, they have specific soulmate 'markings,' etc. In this case, only 'special' people have them, people deemed important by 'Fate.' 'Fate' in the specific 'named character' sense will be a recurring element in these fics, also appearing in 'dragon's breath.' In the case of 'binary eclipse,' soulmates have been no promise of a happy ending, another queer theme in practice.
Bakugou is implicitly dating Kirishima in this fic. It's not made super clear, mostly because from Izumi's limited POV she is unsure what their relationship status is, she just knows the two are sexually engaged in some fashion. I imagined they are somewhere between 'dating' and 'friends with benefits,' although the specifics aren't important. What is important is that Bakugou's soulmate isn't Kirishima, it's Todoroki, a commentary on how certain characters revolve narratively around Deku, and how changes in Deku's narrative would send them all careening out of orbit.
(There's something to be said here, as an aside, about the prevalence of Bakugou/Todoroki in this series. I do sincerely ship Bakugou with both Deku and Todoroki. One of these fics will actually concern Bakugou/Deku/Ochako as a threesome, too, in fact! But Bakugou/Todoroki has progressively become my main ship for Bakugou, both because I like it a lot and because I think it narratively foils izch in really fucking fascinating ways. It makes writing fic about them a breeze. I used to like Bakugou/Kirishima a lot, and I'm ambivalent to them as a background ship now, but I have soured on the relationship largely because the fandom for that ship is... shall we say, intense. Many of them are not very kind to Deku or Ochako as characters, which is the quickest way to make me not like you in BNHA fandom.)
Meanwhile, Izumi and Ochako are soulmates, but Ochako was taken by Toga when Ochako was only fifteen. They were 'meant' to live out a fairy tale high school sweethearts romance, only for Izumi to come out to Ochako as trans later in life, putting them on track for something new. Izumi would have been afraid that Ochako wouldn't accept her, only for Ochako to embrace the change, always steadfastly supportive of her best friend.
Instead, Ochako was taken, Izumi collapsed into a deep depression and came out in high school, and everything is all wrong. Indeed, now it's Ochako who comes to Izumi afraid that Izumi won't accept how she's changed, only for Izumi to be thrilled to have her constant back. In the same vein, Izumi and Bakugou have something on the edge of a queerplatonic relationship in this fic; they're not merely 'friends,' but they aren't romantically inclined, either. They love each other, they're just not in love, and I thought this was beautiful, too.
'binary eclipse' is a very queer fic, or at least, that was my intent. I'm queer, personally, but I've come out as being queer relatively late in life. Some people think this makes my experience invalid, which is a shame. I try very hard to learn the ins and outs of queer culture as I go, and to write about it authentically. Sometimes I worry I don't portray things well, or as others might experience them. I only can speak for myself, of course. But I wanted 'binary eclipse' to be a very queer story, even if it's a bit of a shame that it means that relatively few people have read it.
Then again, it has absolutely terrifying tags, so that's understandable. It's also the first story in 'dark star' concerning transgender experiences, though it certainly won't be the last. There are (as of writing this post) two more fics regarding Deku as a trans girl, two regarding Deku as a trans boy, and one regarding Ochako as a trans girl. Each will approach these ideas in slightly different ways or contexts, but the broad points will rhyme, as you'd probably expect. There will also be at least one fic which concerns cis fem!Deku, though it'll be awhile before that comes back up. Sapphic izch remains my favorite version of the ship as long as it's written well, and I wish more people would write/draw for the concept.
Not to put too fine a point on it, a lot of fandom for izch trends younger and trends very cishet male. I feel like this shouldn't be a controversial statement to anyone who's even vaguely familiar with the fandom. Most of the relevant content is made by women, as with all fandom, but most of the constant crowing on Reddit and Twitter about how 'Deku is straight' comes from bland cishet men who contribute nothing and really don't even 'ship' izch, it's just a rhetorical tool for them. Personally, I mentioned earlier the notion that 'M/F ships aren't inherently straight.' That's true, but I think some people hold up sexuality head canons as a totem to avoid criticism, or to separate themselves from cishet men in fandom.
To be blunt, there's nothing wrong with just thinking that your ship involves two straight people. Fandom has become increasingly and exceedingly cringe about policing sexuality head canons, to its detriment. But if you don't think they're straight, then I think how they're framed is important. I generally have come to enjoy framing izch in broadly queer ways, trying to show versions of them that aren't merely 'a teenage boy and a teenage girl who are high school sweethearts.' There's nothing wrong with enjoying that - obviously, I do, since I fell in love with them - but I like to broaden my horizons, too.
So a lot of 'dark star' will contain heavy queer themes. Some will be set in 'the canon setting,' as it were, such as 'stardust,' 'at liberty,' or 'swallow the sun.' Others will be set in AUs, such as 'back contamination' or 'finite incantatem.' Not all of them will focus on transgender experiences; I would like to do at least a few involving cis fem!Deku, eventaully. I also took a crack at cis male!Ochako, but I feel that trope works much better in art than prose. I may eventually do something that is trans male Ochako, however. We shall see!
In this context, 'binary eclipse' served as an important test fic for me to see how I felt about writing dark queer themes, complicated morality dynamics, and horror elements for a story that I still broadly want to have 'a happy ending.' I'm pretty proud of it. I think the scene of Izumi transforming to fight the Nomu and Toga is one of the better action pieces I've ever written, even.
My overall thoughts are a little more muddled on 'binary eclipse,' not because I'm not proud of it, but rather merely because I just don't remember much of the concept phase of writing it. I wrote it very quickly, over the course of a few days, and most of that stuff has been lost to the ether. I'm happy to answer questions about it, though. It's a fic I wish was more popular, given its queer themes, but alas, what can you do?
If you have thoughts about horror stories, queer themes, or sapphic izch, I'd love to hear about it! So if you enjoyed 'binary eclipse,' please let me know! Or if you didn't, I don't mind hearing why. I hope you have something intelligent to say, rather than boring pro-/anti- discourse stuff or 'your ship is bad,' though. These fics are for adults, and I expect you to engage with them like adults.
Have a nice day.

Welcome to my art page!
Since the majority of my art is going to involve a specific set of characters, I thought I should introduce them first!
These are original characters from an erotic comedy novel that I am writing. I'll give basics about the story at times, but I won't get into the actual plot (spoilers!!)
Angel: trans man, he/him, 26, white, immortal (inspired by The Old Guard by Greg Rucka), bisexual, bottom/sub.
Willow: non-binary, they/them, ~500, Pakistani, vampire (my weird concoction of classic vampire lore), pansexual, top/dom.
Aster: cis man, he/him, 28, white, werewolf (my own mixture of classic werewolf lore), gay, switch/vers (leaning top).
The three of them are in a polyamorous relationship in which Angel is at the center of the polycule (i.e. this is not a love triangle and Willow and Aster are not competing for him). Angel is a monster fucker and figuring out life after discovering that he is immortal.
The group enjoys a variety of kinks, many of which include physical pain, so if you do not enjoy that type of content, please feel free to give this page a pass! I will try to keep detailed triggers in the tags so people can avoid specific things they don't like.
If you're interested in seeing more of these horny fuckos, follow along and enjoy!

Thess vs Farming Sims
Was up most of the night because ow, woke up far too early. Exhausted but can’t sleep. This seems to be a theme. At least the pain’s a bit better now. Though I’m going to have to go out later to pick up some bits and pieces.
So anyway, I’ve been sliiiiiiiightly whittling down my wish list lately. One of the games I picked up was Wylde Flowers, which was named A Witchy Life Story when I picked up the demo (I guess they didn’t want to give the game away too soon with the title). It’s ... I mean, okay, it’s basically Stardew Valley with the magical elements from various Sims games, but it’s ... a lot more than that, in ways I did not expect. So here’s the bullet points.
It’s honestly a good thing that most of Those Gamers (TM) wouldn’t look twice at a farming sim because “it’s not REAL GAMING”, because those same Those Gamers (TM) would biiiiiiiiiitch about this one. They’d yell about “forced diversity” and “SJW CUCKS” or whatever they call it when there’s, like, more than one POC or LGBTQAI+ individual in a game. As a for-instance, just attended an in-game wedding between a gentleman who’s definitely got some Scottish in the family woodpile and a gentleman of Mexican descent. Which was nice. (I was originally going to have the player character, Tara, go for the classy Iranian doctor lady but the really sweet Black dude from South Africa who runs the local bar kinda got there first and he was adorkable and I figured Tara was high-strung enough to want someone a bit more laid back so I went there instead. He calls Tara ‘kitten’. It’s adorable. Anyway, we also have a lady of Russian descent as the local blacksmith, an Indian lady from London doing meteorological studies, a Native American dude running a farm down the road, a native Hawaiian surfer dude running an exotic luxury goods stall, a family whose origins begin in Italy, a somewhat ... interesting Polish gentleman who I think has some serious shit in his past and is older than he looks, and a non-binary individual who’s originally from Japan who runs a butcher shop. (Their reaction to being given sushi, one of their favourite foods, is hilarious and adorable. Maybe I should have held out for Kai, romantically. Ah well, maybe if I do another playthrough.)
We also have Mayor of Smarm and I hate him. His wife’s probably okay, though.
Also there’s the “faith leader”. Basically this place has Scientologists by any other name. I don’t like him much either, and I am not happy about how many people follow this faith. At least one of them is a little less ... devout, if you can call it that? ... than the others. Just faith groups like that creep me out because of a lot of childhood baggage.
Then again ... in case you thought the witchy thing was just a sideline ... oh gods NO. There are there the quests that basically send you into the Fade (they call it the Gloaming, but whatever) and some Fae creatures. And even those are diverse as fuck. We have a fairy and a goblin (I have purchased farming bots from this lovely individual), and a werewolf originally from Alaska who comes by the nonbinary individual’s butcher shop for an epic amount of meat twice a week ... and then we have a curupira. They dug out an old Brazilian mythological creature for this, and did it right - backwards feet and a thing for mischief. I am impressed. Especially since animating backwards feet is probably a bitch.
Oh, and did I mention the witch hunt? I should probably mention the witch hunt. See, this faith group has ... views. Like, “We hate the Summer Festival that’s really just about promoting community bonding and unity because PAGAN”. And “There are ‘witches’ but we don’t use that term; we call them Malcontents and they are DANGEROUS”. There was a whole thing where something escaped from the not-Fade and possessed the blacksmith and she went around accusing poor single mom diner-lady of being a witch and we had to gather a whole bunch of stuff to do a (very quiet, very stealthy, very non-contact) exorcism just as possessed-blacksmith was about to give testimony at a literal, actual, everyone-in-town-must-attend witch trial. Funnily, no one has actually pointed a finger at an actual witch yet. The coven includes our Tara, the cute bar owner guy, the lovely lady who runs the general store, the local florist lady (not sure where she’s from but also not white), the classy doctor lady and the old gentleman from probably-Poland. But the entity possessing the blacksmith shouts ‘WITCH’ at the lady who runs the diner, who was only out after curfew to look for her wander-happy daughter who was out past curfew. (Oh, yeah, apparently we have a curfew and a Neighbourhood Watch set up to catch people wandering into the forest at night. Joke’s on you motherfuckers; I have a broomstick and can fly right over your bigoted judgemental asses. And by the way, witches - by which I mean me - ENDED THE DROUGHT YOU HAD OVER THE SUMMER, so you can fuck all the way off.) Apparently this is going to get dumber at some point.
I think that’s the thing - you can get a little bored with the average farming sim after awhile, but this one has plot, and that plot is ... fairly wild, all things considered. Deals with themes of intolerance and persecution while still being diverse, does its homework about other cultures, and while there are fetch quests of a kind, they’re spaced out with enough fairly meaty and occasionally time-sensitive quests that there’s more investment than just “you know, crops”. Though I am currently celebrating as how I finally got enough compost together for rich soil to have a hay field, so I won’t have to rely on smarmy grifter dude for my animal feed anymore.
Also some of the farm animals have weird favourite treats. WHY THE FUCK DOES A SHEEP WANT TO EAT A LEMON?!? WHY DOES A CHICKEN WANT TO, FOR THAT MATTER?!?
Eh, I should probably throw clothes on and head out for a bit. See if I can nap after some time spent on a bus and a trawl through a grocery store. Might see if I can pick up the fixings for one of the dishes from my Baking Dish cookbook. I’ve been a bit too wiped to do anything this week - for which I entirely blame being stuck with more of the long typing than is feasible because of the combination of Scruffman, Temp, and Violet. At least I booked myself some time off in the not-too-distant future. Fine, it’s in like three weeks, but I can manage.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔 Sexuality & Emotions
Tumblr media
The werewolf in modern day media, much like the vampire, is a metaphor for the human condition to be free of the burden of moral shackles. Vampires being the metaphor for unbound sexuality and werewolves being the expression of our morality being stripped away until we only have the animal within left. Rougarou are no different. They are without labels. Man, woman, non-binary. All these are labels created by humans to label themselves and fit them into different categories to function in society. To a rougarou an individual is simply that. There is no need for labels. You are pack or not. You are friend, foe, or dinner. In the way of scents, you either have an earthen scent to you or a flora scent to you. Lincoln only perceives how the person in front of him perceives themselves. As far as sexuality goes, rougarou are unburned by if the person is male, female or identifies as another gender or non-gendered. If you're warm and interested, they are interested. Though Lincoln does identify as bisexual/pansexual, leaning more towards women (or feminine energy) than men (masculine).
However, it is to note that when rougarou mate, they mate for life. And when it comes to pack dynamics, they never mate for love. Often times, the strongest child (male or female) is paired off to another pack for territory expansion or power. It is mostly done with a pair that could produce pups however same sex mating arrangements do occur but are rare since rougarou are low in number. Wolves who 'mate for love' are abjured from all rougarou packs and any offspring from the union will not be recognized. Rougarou who mate with other werewolf breeds or non-rougarou are also considered exiled. By time Lincoln is an adult, most of these practices are dead due to how small the population has become. All the elder rougarou packs who would enforce the rules have died or been murdered.
If you follow Lincoln long enough, you will notice he has a habit of saying that he isn't human so he doesn't feel as a human would. This is a deflection and Lincoln ignoring the truth about his species. The fact is, rougarou feel more than a human could ever hope to understand. When a rougarou is in love, it transcends the concept of love that can ever be understood by a human or any other individual that is not of their species. For example, if Lincoln were to mate with someone and fully loved them and that mate were to die, it is more than likely that he would die literally of a broken heart.
Their emotions are enhanced and they feel more than we normally would feel when it comes to a situation. When a human is angry, majority of the time, we are able to take a few calming breathes and walk away. A rougarou has a literal internal struggle and battle within themselves to force that anger not to explode. They often free themselves of their emotional burden by running into the swamp or forest to change and be simply a wolf for hours and even days. This ability to control emotions is further hindered during a full moon where even the slightest annoyance can trigger their rage. Sadness, joy, anger, hate. All these emotions are amplified for them. So, it's never wise to piss off a rougarou because they will hunt you down and rip you apart with their teeth because of how hard it is to stop themselves.
This is why most rougarou turned to witches, much like Lincoln has, to 'seal away' parts of themselves. It is a ritual that locks away part of the wolves personality to make their everyday life safer and allow only the effects of a full moon to unleash that unbridled emotion.
