HEARTSTEEL KAYN/READER : KISSES ♡ Gender Neutral ♡ SFW, NSFW under bold header ♡ TW: Sexual Content ♡ Please don't ask me how much I spent on RP when the skins released!!! IT'S NOT RELEVANT !!
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
KAYN
Kissing Kayn is damn near indescribable. It's all his passion, his excitement, his energy, all focused on you. It's like, well...picture this. The pins-and-needles sensation when your leg falls asleep. The burn of sunbaked summer pavement on bare feet. The gasp that comes when you get shocked by static electricity. Hazy neon signs, spicy cologne, ice water after mint gum. Somehow, Kayn feels like all of this at once.
Kayn really likes those double-sided mints, the ones that are half strawberry. He's usually crunching his way through a pack of those, so it's not rare to kiss him and taste a hint of strawberry and the coolness of mint.
If you think you're going to get away with giving Kayn a tiny peck on the lips, think again. Go ahead, try to whisper your lips against his and pull back. "Uhhh," he raises an eyebrow, scowling, "what's that bullshit about? Come back here." Kayn slides a quick hand around the back of your neck, all-but-crashing you back into his mouth. He doesn't let you go until your bottom lip's shiny with his spit, and your cheeks are heating up.
If you catch Kayn when he's extra sleepy, though, you might get some sweet kisses out of him. Pull him close as he's stirring in bed and pepper kisses across his cheeks like freckles. He'll squish you to himself and lazily touch down on your forehead, your temple, the bridge of your nose. He's the sweetest when he's half out-of-it.
Kayn has zero shame. He will kiss you in front of anyone, and he will kiss you anywhere. If you want a kiss? You get a kiss. Anytime, anyplace.
Just because he's gone full-Rhaast doesn't mean he loses the urge to kiss you. If anything, his urges get stronger. The need to have you, to show everyone you're his, to be so close to you there's barely room to breathe in between. Often, he'll tip the edge of his mask up just to put his mouth on yours.
His favorite place to be kissed is his neck. Kayn's extremely sensitive there. If you attack his throat with little love bites, pausing over his Adam's apple, he squirms into your touch, sighing happily—you might even coax a giggle out of him, if you're persistent enough. (If you call him out on it, though? He will never admit to such a cute noise. "I was coughing," he insists.)
Kayn's favorite place to kiss you? Well, if you're in public...he's a classic mouth man. He loves nothing more than the softness of your lips and the warmth of your tongue.
N S F W
If you're in private, though? Kayn's favorite place to kiss you is just below your waistline, right on the edge of your underwear. He lingers there just before catching your underwear between his teeth and tugging them off of you.
Kayn doesn't kiss you during sex, so much as he attaches to you like a leech. His mouth is always on you, always moving, up and down your neck, hovering over your chest, pausing on your shoulders. And he bites. Gently, most of the time, but he's been known to leave bruise-dark hickies in places spilled over your skin. He's especially rough if you're topping him, riding him within an inch of his fucking life. Kayn's been known to leave teeth marks if you're really blowing his mind.
Who would Kayn be if he wasn't at least a little bit disrespectful to everyone, always? He loves to spit in your mouth. Don't worry, though, he takes it just as good as he gives it. If you spit in his mouth right back, he's instantly so hard it's almost painful.

Through A Mirror Darkly
(A starter for @the-winter-dork-rp)
“I’m almost done... Blocking off the wifi chips in that old arm of yours has done wonders, the code is regenerating nearly as fast.” He offered, his eyes closed as pulses of blue light flickered from his fingertips into Bucky’s temple, his hands as steady as a rock. “I’m still developing a way to stop them resending it or letting it repair entirely, it’s complicated... Like trying to do a Rubik’s cube in gardening gloves, I don’t have enough flexibility or understanding.” The mutant promised, the vein in his forehead pulsating harder. It was like peeling an onion made of glass, each layer so fragile and beautiful. The human mind was complex and beautiful, Bucky’s moreso than most to the beholder anyhow. There was a sudden zap, like a jolt of static running through both of them. “Ow! Synaptic backfire, should have stopped earlier. I don’t like leaving the job undone but I’m exhausted and soldiering on will just cause another 2 day migraine and I’m sure Shuri’s tired of my requests for Sumatriptan and a dark, silent room with a comfy bed. You should be okay.” He promised, kissing the other’s forehead and getting up, rubbing his temples and unaware the staticy shock had disrupted his delicate work like a small child kicking down a sandcastle.

hello!! i'm carmen, a casual pokemon trainer. i do like battling sometimes but, yk not often. my team is just full of sweeties and i love them and i hope you do too, bc you're gonna see a lot of them on here!!
my sister is also on rotomblr? we might interact but idk shhh
here is my card:
Tumblr media
----------
TINY was my starter. when i was eight or so, i was in the appartment when a driftloon just. wandered in. and instead of getting my parents, i threw an empty pokeball at them, and i've had him ever since!
WHOPPER is my fifth pokemon that i had gotten on my family trip to paldea!! it was mainly to catch a tinkatink but i had gotten lost at a pond and i found a bunch of tadbulbs!! one of them really wanted my attention (i was shocked with static electricity from petting them for too long..) and would not leave me. so. i kept him.
CAR BATTERY is my second pokemon that i had asked for from my godmother (she's so sweet) and i had raised my boy car battery from a grubbin!! his ivs are also great (she didnt have to do that but she did. good for battling his energy out!)
SAILOR is my sixth pokemon i had gotten from the paldea trip. funny enough, her name has a bit of meaning- me and my sister who wanted tinkatinks had been searching, and sarge keeping other pokemon at bay. I was trying to lure them out, with no luck and a bunch of smashed berries; and then i turn around to see sarge sharing a berry with a brave tinkatink that had gone up to say hi! sailor and sarge are very close to this day.
SARGE, my main battler, is my third pokemon. I had found sarge as a honedge, weak on the sidewalk. i believe they had been discarded from a shiny hunter. luckily, i wasn't stupid (this was maybe 3 years ago?) and didnt grab her by the hilt. i fed her the food i had and took her to the nearest pokemon center. apparently, in doing so she sworn to herself she would always stay by my side for what i did, so... um. it was hard to tell my mom that this ghost sword now will never leave me. i love sarge though, she's like a mom to the others (she is still allowed to be devious though. just a little.)
CONEY is my fourth pokemon. I had found him in the outside fridge when summer just started, and had almost mistaken him for a literal ice cream cone, but then actually looked. coney got really scared and wouldnt come out of the freezer. i had to catch him to make sure he wouldnt eat all of the food in the freezer. so when i did, i gave him food for the road, and released him. because the very next day i found him in my freezer. I decided to keep him.
----------
[ooc- this is a pokeblogging rp acc! i have tags for each of my pokemon for when i mention them, or draw them. i might not be active OFTEN because my motivation for anything ever sucks but i will post occasionally. feel free to interact!!]

The Lily Verse
The lilith verse is an AU specifically for Non-cannon interactions with my muse. The Lillith verse starts at the beginning of Hanako's awakening. In this verse, Hanako's interactions with OCs or Cannon characters in introduction will be introduced inside or out of Ryoutei Academy.
Tumblr media
Lore
The time period is in the early 21st century, dating decades after her death. She awakens in Shinagawa, unaware of her current surroundings.
Much as changed over the years, as Hanako is not aware of new growing technology. Interactions with the doll can take place on the streets of Shinagawa or in Ryoutei Academy.
In this AU she is unaware of the Sakamaki/Mukami family or any ocs that she may have interacted in prior AUs.
Ghost Lore
Ghosts- Undetectable creatures of the night, unaware of their will to pass on into the next phase in life, Ghosts appear as human and have no prior knowledge of their past. It is hard to detect a ghost in this stage, as they often come across as human.
Ghosts as they regain memory can see/talk to other spirits, wraiths or haunted,
Will mess up any electrical devices with static shock. (Not purposely)
Body will be opaque, though in gaining memory will start to fade to a more translucent color.
Ghosts can become Spirits Wraith or a Haunted
Wraiths- Wraiths are translucent in their hue, only a ghost who's leaned into not wanting to pass on will achieve this state. Wraiths are almost always blueish, purple or green in hue.
Wraiths have the ability to possess a body at will, manipulate and or twist mindsets or ideals, create hallucinations. Wraiths cannot become spirits, there is a possibility for a Wraith to become a haunted.
Spirits-Spirits are good in nature and have passed on without any deeds left behind, they have the ability to chose to continue a new life (reincarnation) or to travel as a spirit in the world they inhabit( Though this comes as a catch, a spirits soul can be transfered into different time periods of said world, example: If a spirit died in 2009, and chosen to travel, their soul will forever be recycled through the past. Meaning that a spirit can possibly witness their own mother being born, this can cause as an issue) Spirits can become Wraiths or Haunted if traumatized enough.
Spirits have all of their memory prior to there death and after.
Haunted- Unspeakable Eldritch horror, (I'll get into the explanation or update this soon)
Her father is still an ART teacher at Ryoutei Academy and runs an apothecary not too far from the school grounds. So interactions with him can also be made, but be warned, in interactions with him. [ Hanako is unaware of his existence or even that she has a father]
Anyone who wishes to partake! Just tag or Ask and specify thelilithverse when ♡ doing so.

ARE YA READY FOR CRINGE KIDS?!
Aye aye captain!
I CAN’T HEAR YOU!
Aye aye captain!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH...
ʀɑiʝiɳ, ℓєα∂єя σƒ тнє ησятн
Sooooo once upon a time I ran an InuYasha site (shut up). Two, actually, one that had canon characters (but deleted the canon story, basically) and one that was world only, in a different time setting. Raijin was part of the second one, which, sadly did not last long. Despite this, I had loads and LOADS of plans and plots for him set up so even though not many got far, I had plenty of ‘scenes’ I could recreate for him here. The downside of Rai is that he’s really so specific to his world that I’ve found it impossible to port him in any other universes without gutting his character. I did it once, but he was barely the same.
He was, generally, not a great person (fantasy-racist, lazy as fuck, kinda grompy), so even though he liked interacting with others, they likely didn’t like interacting with him, which brought me to create his adopted daughter, Hanae, as his ‘morality pet’, basically. I played both of them in-tandem in posts with his daughter as the ‘social lubricant’ to keep people from flipping him off and leaving, basically. He’s one of my most family-oriented OCs to date, with his parents also being reoccurring NPCs in his posts, as well.
He is also, hands down, the most overpowered character I’ve ever made. His ability to amplify electricity is ridiculously strong, so much so that if you touch him it’s like getting an incredibly strong static electricity shock (this has made situations with his lovers hilarious, I will admit). As long as he stayed at range he was definitely a one-man-army, firing off lightning bolts at huge crowds. He wasn’t BAD at melee, but definitely nowhere near as good as his ranged.
He had everything from a lover he resented for what she was and bitter sibling rivalry with a younger brother, to a bastard son that wanted him dead and an unrequited love for another territory leader. He was one of my most lore-heavy characters I’d ever made as well, with tons of background characters and stories behind them, to a whole written mythological origin story of his clan’s people. He is still one of my favorite OCs to this day and even now, sometimes I’ll think of something to add to his story and I’ll open up his word document to add a few lines.
Tagging @salemssimblr so they can see another RP sim disaster man.

rules: tag 9 people (or so) you want to know better and/or catch up with, then answer the questions below! — I was tagged by @whitewyrmings !~
~Song~
The Mind Electric-- Specifically the Chonny Jash version.
Dear goodness has this song given me major earworms lately. Sure, the original is great! Amazing even. But this one tickles my brain in many ways. Not only is it satisfying to listen to, but my mind wanders to the "Bad End AU" plot thread for the Phantom Gang (Seph, Izulda, Angelo, Tempys, and Gelum... and technically Ignis?), and keeps associating the lyrics to different OCs. The feelings that the Phantom Gang has to come to terms with when they meet the worst versions of themselves.
~Ships~
I rarely indulge in fandom ships, because generally I can appreciate the chemistry people write between characters (as long as its not like... toxic or pedophilic or something)
Huntlow (Owl House... despite only watching the first 3 eps and I SHOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THEM--)
Virgil x Richie (Static Shock)
And whatever the HECK is going on in Maya and the Three (the entire series I kept saying "is this a prophecy or a polycule?")
I do have some OC ships I am especially soft for, but that's so many to list, especially when considering friends and mutuals ;w; (looking at YOU, Greyscale)
~Books~
I haven't picked one up in a long time because I am DETERMINED to read the Amulet series before anything. I read the first book in middle school (so like, as of 2023, 10-12 years ago??), and it's been stuck in my brain since.
~Movies~
I rarely watch movies unless it's a Discord Watch Party Night, which I haven't done in a long time... The last movie that sticks out in my mind is Turning Red, which I found pretty enjoyable and brought me back to my old Flipnote Hatena days. Maybe it was the Sonic movies?? Which were also pretty fun. Just sadly, movies don't stick out like shows do.
~Cravings~
Well... I often crave meat and seafood more than anything these days. I'm diabetic, so ever since I've weaned myself off of excessive sweets, sugary foods like candy and soda haven't tasted the same, but at least chocolate is still pretty good depending on brand. I find that spicy sushi rolls such as crunchy rolls, spicy tuna/salmon/etc are safe bets despite the rice, because by now I've memorized the carb amount. Plus, the sushi guy at my workplace tends to make them special for us!
Outside of food, my brain is always craving drawing, writing lore, and RP. It likes being creatively stimulated, and I'm lucky my workplace is cool with me bringing my art supplies to keep myself entertained when I'm bored.
~Tags~

I finally remembered my old Jaime blog's URL (BlissfullyOffMode) and I'm so sad that it got deleted. I wanted to delete a sideblog at the time and I ended up thanosing that blog and the mainblog, my old Static Shock blog (TheLivingTaser). So those years of my rp career are just lost to time.

*ooh! N her design , her soul is constantly visible. Only thing its behind is a small cage n the mavhine part of her chest. Every single breath makes a quiet whir and every heart beat makes a static sound. If she gets emotionally worked up/bp goes up it gets louder and shocks her. She can have emotions but cant let it make bp go up. The robot eye can see 200x better than a normal human and can see n the dark. The robot ear can hear hearts beating and electricity n even a lightbulb. She can turn the ear up and down. The robot body can punch and kick through brick walls and throw cars, very strong and tough, she cant feel abything on that side. If it gets even a little drop of water on it, it zaps her*
*that wasnt part of the rp, just telling about her☺️*
Interesting!

Virgilio Patalinghug - an old oc for an rp group uhhh frm my tegaki days
He's a vigilante superhero. He just wants to run his auto body shop, but his city's local crime lord went nuts recently. His power is simply electrical generation of which he prefers to apply to his gear/vehicles. He really doesn't like watching ppl get electrocuted (even at lower voltages).
He's sort of an accidental homage to Static Shock.

Swan & Freckle RP March 2023
Characters: Frecklepoppy (Hail, 1393 words), Swanstrike (Cam, 1818 words)
Location: Maple Village on 2023-03-09
Summary: Frecklepoppy stops by to check in on Swanstrike and finds that her health is deteriorating due to the shadow infection. Swan initially looses her temper, but once she calms down Frecklepoppy is able to give her advice about controlling her emotions and building resilience against the infection.
 Swanstrike slumped next to the keeper's den, her eyes ever so slightly squinted and her ears tipped back. She looked tired. Her limp white fur was minimally groomed and she slouched into the ground; but she was holding it together otherwise. It was frustrating, being so lethargic, but she couldn't seem to sleep even with the aid of herbs. Every night was plagued by nightmares full of black monsters yelling her name, cast against strange static backgrounds and glowing, disembodied white eyes. She slowly rolled onto her side, letting own weight tip her before stretching out her legs out  as far as she could. For a moment she held her breath, closing her eyes and just listening to the word around her.
Was she dying?
She wasn't sure she wasn't to know the answer. Physically she felt stronger then she'd ever been, but mentally she was running out. If it wasn't for Inferno's bright enthusiasm she probably wouldn't have bothered leaving her nest outside of meals and patrols. She knew she was prone to depression, but this didn't feel the same. It felt less like she was struggling to stay afloat and more like she had already drowned.
But why was she so much more affected then the others? She had a rough start to life, but nothing as traumatic as some of the older guild cats. How could she be the weak one? Maybe this was proof that her family had been right. No matter how hard she worked, she would be useless at the end of it all.
 Frecklepoppy trudged through the thick snow as she made her way towards Maple Guild's village. She could feel a chill in her bones as she walked, having been padding through the layers of snow for what was probably over an hour by now. Her trek was finally over though, as she padded past the tall trees and shrubbery that outlined the village's entrance.
A few heads turned to look at her as she entered, but quickly dismissed her presence as it wasn't an unusual one. She frequently came to visit Wyvernfire, so by now most Maple Guilder's were not shocked to see her face around. Seeing the Overseer was not her intention with todays visit, however. Instead her pale gaze quickly searched around the village until it landed on the familiar white pelt of the sentry regent.
The prophet looked upon the slumped queen as she padded over to where she lay next to the keeper's den. Gazing at her messy pelt and exhausted expression, it was clear the regent had seen better days.
"Afternoon, Swanstrike," the tabby queen spoke calmly as she sat beside the sentry.
 Swanstrike squinted up at Frecklepoppy as she entered the otherwise quiet camp, mildly curious as to why she was stopping by. That curiosity crumpled into concern and then dread as she realized that the grey queen was approaching her rather then Copperlight or Wyvernfire. She liked Freckle's friendship, but given her current state and Freckle's roll as the Underseer, Swan was not expecting this to be a pleasant visit. Maybe she really was dying from the shadows.
Wasn't that how Freckle's first death had happened? Swan had originally found it hard to understand how the infection could kill a cat but now she could feel the filth of it poisoning her bones and crawling through her stomach like a leech. Was she eventually going to grow a shroud? And if so, would she loose her mind to it the way the other animals did? She had no way of knowing, but if it came to that she wasn't going to just roll over and submit to monster-hood. She had few good fights left in her.
"Afternoon, Frecklepoppy," she answer as she pulled herself up into a sitting position. She gave a solid shake to resettled her long fur into a more presentable shape, then did her best to give the other her full attention. "How are you?"
 Frecklepoppy. Her eyes quietly watched as the sentry regent lifted herself to sit upright before turning her head to look out at the peaceful village. It seemed most cats were out on patrol as of right now, the camp seeming a bit empty aside from the few of those scattered around, chatting quietly amongst themselves. It was no different from how Hemlock Guilders spent their time between patrols.
"I'm doing quite alright," Frecklepoppy replied, her gaze flickering over to the sentry for a moment, "It seems that you most likely can't say the same for yourself though. How long have you been feeling this way?"
Just looking at the white queen, there was no way the stress of being a regent was making Swanstrike so fatigued and unable to do so much as groom her own fur. Depression was difficult for anybody to deal with, its own symptoms making one feel lethargic and unable to do the simplest things. However, this was different, Frecklepoppy knew a depressed cat when she saw one, but Swanstrike? It was clear her possession had only further progressed since the last time they spoke.
 Swanstrike. "Since my mom married a bitch," Swanstrike chirped, hoping to lighten the mood because she did not like the look Frecklepoppy was giving her. It was too similar to the way Wyvernfire looked at her when he was watching the shadows, which made sense seeing as Frecklepoppy was the shadow prophet.  Swan didn't know what they looked like and she never wanted to know. Hearing their voices in her nightmares was bad enough, not to mention the shit her imagination was able to dream up.
She forced a tired smile, then resisting the urge to lie and insist everything was fine, she added more seriously, "Thought it was just the usual winter depression, but its far worse this year." She  then looked down at her paws, knowing she wasn't going to like where this conversation was going to go.  She felt so hollow and she wished she could run away from it all, maybe curl up in the woods and sleep until the summer came and life got a little easier. Mostly she just wished the world would stop for a second, so she could catch her breath. "It's the shadows, isn't it? They're getting worse."
She then forced herself to look up at Freckle, hating that the smokey queen knew exactly what this felt like. She wanted to ask Freckle how long it took for her to die from the shadows the first time, but she also didn't want to know the answer. She just.... she wasn't ready to die yet. She wanted to see her guild to safety and to see her mother and siblings one last time.  She wanted to know the names of her nieces and nephews and she... she didn't want to fail Copperlight and Wraithvale after everything they had done for her.
 Frecklepoppy couldn't help but chuckle at the regent's comment, a small smile briefly forming on her face before she quickly regained her composure. She turned to face Swanstrike, wanting to give the queen her full attention as she spoke, though her eyes still carefully examined the other's expression and movements.
Something must've changed for her progression to worsen; it's possible the Unholy Dark saw the regent's depression as a means of furthering it's grip on her soul, but that was merely a guess. If that was the case though, what made this season's depression different than the others? Why target now? The Prophet silently asked herself these questions as if the shadows had any sense of sentience to make conscious decisions.
Frecklepoppy's gaze broke from Swanstrike as the regent asked her question, letting out a sigh and closing her eyes. After a moment, the sentry looked back at the white-furred queen with white pupils. The Prophet remained silent as she watched The Unholy Dark dance around Swanstrike's soul, it's dark abyss that swirled around her being greater than it once was. Finally meeting the regents orange eyes, she nodded.
This was incredibly bad. It may not have happened yet, but with her current state of possession, the gray tabby was certain Swanstrike would start losing control of both her emotions and actions, putting her guildmates in danger. She was going to have to talk to Wyvernfire and Copperlight about this, though, it was likely the Seerkeeper was already aware of the current situation.
 Swanstrike held her breath with a wince and followed Frecklepoppy's blank, white gaze as it dispassionately inspected her for shadows. A long moment passed and tension started to build in Swanstrike's shoulders and neck as her jaw clenched painfully tight. She knew what the answer was going to be but she was terrified to have the prophet confirm it. She didn't want it to be real. She wasn't even sure she could cope with it being real... Shit. Why had she even asked? She shouldn't have asked but it was to late to take the question back!
Then Frecklepoppy finally looked back at her and nodded. Swanstrike flinched like she had been hit, then closed her eyes and fought the urge to vomit, her entire body shuttering as silence fell around them. That was that. She was dying. She was going to be another shadow victim. This is what the shadows in her nightmares had meant when they told her she was chosen all those years ago. This had always been the road she was heading down. The reason Wyvernfire hated her.  She swallowed, waiting.
But Frecklepoppy said nothing.
Nothing.
"That... That's it?" Swan's eyes snapped open and for a moment she just stared at the aloof queen with disbelief, "I'm dying and all you do is nod? Fucking nod?!" Her voice quickly warped into a snarl as she leapt to her feet, her massive body looking even larger as her unkempt hair bristled down her back.   She arched up her spine and her voice grew louder and louder with each word; her claws digging deeper and deeper into the hard packed ground of the village.  "What? Am I not worthy of actual words from our holy shadow prophet?! Why the fuck did you even come her if you weren't going to say anything?! Did you just want to watch me suffer!?"
She was screaming her words by the end and if Frecklepoppy had tried to say something in response she wouldn't have heard it over her own, mounting furry. There was a wildness in the white queen's wide, unfocused eyes and she took a pointed step towards the prophet; her head twisting to the side as her sharp, white teeth barred in a hiss of raw anger. After all, it was her oldest, most loyal ally and it had always been that way. No matter how many time  her wretched, depressed self fell into numb catatonia her anger had always been there to drag her back to reality, fuelling her will to live another day.
"Well you can tell your fucking precious shadows that they can't have me because unlike you, I'm not going to just roll over and die like some pathetic, suicidal waste of space. I am going to protect my guild until every bobcat and shroud in the estuary has been so thoroughly eviscerated even Wyvernfire couldn't stitch them back together! And then, and only then can those nasty little fuckers have me!"
 Frecklepoppy blinked at the sentry, opening her maw to speak, but quickly shutting it as the sound of anger filled Swanstrike's voice.  As the white furred queen rose to her paws, the Prophet raised her head to look up at her, forcing herself to remain calm as she watched the sentries anger evolve into rage.
Admittedly, Frecklepoppy hated being yelled at, however, it was something she learned to handle at a young age. The memories of Needlespirit spatting at her popped into her head for just a moment before tossing them aside in favor of listening to Swanstrike. This was not the time to remember the disgusting way she was treated by her.
The queen had to stop herself from making an audible sigh as Swanstrike spoke of her only visiting Maple Guild to watch the regent suffer, her words practically being screamed at the tabby sentry at this point. As she took a step closer to her with teeth barred, the Prophet held her ground, remaining still with her unmoving gaze meeting the regents orange eyes.
I'm not going to roll over and die like some pathetic, suicidal waste of space. Ouch. The queen wasn't entirely wrong about the sentry in that sense, but it didn't make the comment sting any less. Whatever. She wasn't going to let it get to her, it wasn't the time to get defensive about her past. Frecklepoppy shook her head and finally rose to her paws as Swanstrike finally stopped yelling.
"Good." She finally spoke, her voice stern, "Don't let them take you. You're not going to die if you take a breather and listen to me."
She closed her eyes and let out a tired sigh, "You need to learn to not let your anger get the best of you. I understand you're upset right now, and you're completely justified in feeling this way, but your possession will only worsen if you don't keep your emotions in check," Frecklepoppy looked back up at the regent, "So if you're really determined to keep living, you'll do as I say."
 Swanstrike. The air rushed out Swanstrike's lungs like a popped tire and for a second she was overwhelmed by the pain in her chest, preventing her from taking another breath. Yelling at her only ally? What was she thinking? Exhaustion flooded her muscles and she abruptly sat down, all signs of her previous aggression deteriorating like a falling star as she hung her head and looked at the ground. After a second she took a long, calming inhale then swallowed back what remained of her anger, feeling like a scolded kitten.
"Sorry," she answered, not because she meant it but because it was what she was conditioned to say. Her ears tipped back in embarrassment and her tail tip twitched with frustration. Then, more genuinely, she said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said any of that. None of this is your fault."
There was an excruciating self-awareness that often followed her explosive episode, where she was forced to accept that she was the cause of the majority of her own problems. Why her view of others flipped from idolization to demonization and back so easily had never made any sense to he, but she had always been a difficult cat to deal with. It was so much easier to be angry at others then risk feeling abandoned by them.  Sometimes she wondered why anyone even bothered with her in the first place.
However, she wasn't some young, unaccountable queen at her first conclave, so as much as she wanted to keep screaming and crying she forced herself to sit up straight and look at Frecklepoppy with a serious expression. The sooner she accepted this fate the sooner the could start fixing it.
"What do I have to do?"
 Frecklepoppy. Just like that, Swanstrike's anger dissipated into what seemed like instant guilt. The tabby sentry watched for a few moments as the queen hung her head and drew in calming breathes, the silence between them being a bit strained before the regent muttered a small "sorry." Frecklepoppy didn't speak until the regent fully realized the weight of her actions and gave a more genuine apology.
The prophet politely nodded her head as her pale eyes flickered around, feeling a tinge of discomfort if she continued looking at Swanstrike while she was in such a sorry state. She wasn't used to being apologized to.
"It's quite alright. I don't hold your anger against you," she said in a hushed voice. After a second or two, Frecklepoppy finally dragged her gaze back over to the regent just in time as Swanstrike lifted her head to meet the prophet's gaze. The sentry wasn't expecting to be met with a serious and determined expression, but she was glad to know the white queen was willing to listen to her.
"The first step to properly managing your possession and slowing its progression rate it learning how to manage your emotions," the Underseer started, "It's not going to be easy at first, but it'll get better with time and practice. We'll take it slow so you're not overwhelmed."
Frecklepoppy straightened her position so she could better look up at Swanstrike as she spoke, "Mindfulness meditation is a good way to calm any feelings of stress or anger, or even feelings of depression. The first step is to recognize what you're feeling and take a moment and step back and identify what is exactly angering you or stressing you out.
"Take deep, calming breaths, and repeat them for a few minutes. If your mind wanders or you find your emotions bubbling up, let yourself feel it, take note of how it makes you feel, identify what that emotion is, and then focus back on your breathing. This helps you learn to identify what your emotions feel like and know when it's time to step back from something when they arise."
The queen stopped for a moment to make sure whether or not the regent was following what she was saying before continuing, "It's easier said than done, especially in the heat of the moment, but you have to train yourself not to engage with whatever it is that is angering you. You have to learn to step back and calm yourself before you explode."
 Swanstrike. Manage her emotions? Her heart sank, dragging her resolve down with it as she processed the prophet's words. Oh. Wonderful. She was sick and the cure was to do the very thing she had spent her entire life failing to do? At this point she had just accepted that emotional control was a skill she hadn't been born with; one she hadn't even been exposed to before she joined the estuary.
Her family had always been so... volatile. Like a box of firecrackers just waiting to be struck by lightning. Even Joseph had his moments where his joviality failed and he reminded everyone just how much of a bastard he could be. She took a deep breath, just as Frecklepoppy had instructed, and tried to distance her mind from the ache of longing she felt for her brother. He had always known what to say to calm her down or rial her up. He would have understood all this. But he wasn't here. She had abandoned him.
Shit why was she so stupid?!
She swallowed down her frustration and took another, blatantly forced, deep breath but it didn't calm her down at all which, of course, made her frustration worse. The surface emotion was easy enough to read, but below it was a torrent of raw wounds she was to afraid to touch. Just thinking about those deeper feeling hurt and she couldn't bring herself to try and 'identify' them.
"So, I stay calm and the possession slows down? Then what? Won't I still die eventually?"
