The Bensu and the Rae
Tumblr media
The Bensu and the Rae are two fantasy races I’ve created to flesh out the secret ‘underground’ world in my story “Ashes”. They are miniature races I’ve made, taking inspiration from fairies and elves.
Bensu are described as reaching no more than 4 inches tall with very few exceptions. They are a humanoid race.
They have extremely pale lavender like skin covered in a dense coating of peach fuzz that, if touched, makes them feel like they are coated in a fine velvet. At the top of their heads they have a thicker spread of hair. The colors of a Bensu’s hair range in color but it always tends to be darker colors rather than bright ones.
The bright colors are reserved for the feathery protrusions that sprout from the backs of their necks. They can spread them out like a peacock does with its tail. Between these feathers are spiny quills that stand up when the feathers are spread out. These are most often used as a last resort defense against animals that may view Bensu as a prey item. 
Otherwise, the quills and feathers may be used as a form of communication through body language or to just make themselves look bigger to predators.
The directional spread of feathers is not always the same in every Bensu.
Tumblr media
Bensu have a strong prehensile tail that grants them balance when they run; they are exceptionally speedy, with a high talent for acrobatics. Their feet are padded and have an especially good grip on smooth surfaces. Their speed makes up for the fact that they are a grounded race with little outward defense against larger predators. (In essence, they can and will outrun you if their path isn’t obscured).
Their legs also have enough strength to jump surprising distances (About 1.5 feet off the ground and a good 3 feet in distance when they have a running start).
The tail can act as a third arm and can easily hold up their own weight with no pain.  
A Bensu's skin and hair colors aren't always solid, more often than not a Bensu will be covered in white speckles or their body will be dotted in darker patchy patterns. Colors and patterns can also be influenced by a Rae mother (more elaboration on this later).
Many Bensu have a horn that sprouts from their forehead; these horns don't appear to be guaranteed for every Bensu. Some have very short horns, some have very long ones, and some don't have one at all. Horns tend to take on unique shapes.
The horns are linked with the races special telekinetic abilities. Horn length correlates with telekinetic strength. A particularly strong willed Bensu with a good horn can levitate objects ten times their own weight.
The Bensu are an omnivorous race that relies on farming and foraging for most of their food.
They are a smart race that lives virtually undetected, in other words, far far away from any sort of human settlement.
Strangely they have a high birthrate of males, which makes keeping populations steady a nightmare. Statistics show that for every 10 born there is only 1 female. Both genders are also hard to distinguish with one another outwardly.
This leads into the Rae.
Their body is a mixture of insectoid and humanoid. Their abdomen extending off into a thorax akin to a bee's, but without a stinger.
They grow to be about 3.5 inches tall.
Rae bodies can take on a barrage of dull pastel colors, yellow being very dominant color in the chitin like skin. Their thorax is covered in thick setae hairs that extends up their back and sometimes all over their smooth bodies.
Often their skin can take on stripy patterns with no discernable order.
The Rae have two sets of arms, the top set is often the dominant set. The second bottom set tend to have spurs near the elbows that can deliver an irritating sting.
A Rae's wings can differ between individuals in shape and quantity, some Rae having two sets of wings to match their two sets of arms.
All Rae have a triple crest atop their heads made out of a chitinous substance, through which they can emit loud calls to one another; or use the crests to show off. They take very good care of their crest, often grooming their head and face. The crest is larger and more colorful in males.
A Rae’s ears extend out into a hair like antenna like growth that can sense vibrations/disturbances in the air. This can give them an early alert to an approaching or striking predator. 
Tumblr media
They are fairly strong for their size, the average Rae being able to carry things a little over their own weight while in flight.
Rae are a carnivorous race that tend to hunt down bugs, small rodents, and even small birds. They work in groups when taking on more dangerous hunts.
Opposite of the Bensu, the Rae have an exceptionally high birthrate of females. About only 1 in 10 Rae born are male.
The Relation Between the Bensu and the Rae
These two races have garnered a symbiotic relationship with one another.
It was discovered long ago that when a Bensu and a Rae do the tango; their offspring are born entirely healthy will little to no physical changes to their features. And likely due to both races strange reproductive properties concerning the birthrate of the opposite sex, the gender of the offspring appears to determine its race.
If a male Bensu and a female Rae parent offspring, any males born will be Bensu and any females born will be Rae.
If a female Bensu and a male Rae parent offsrping, any males born will be Rae and any females born will be Bensu.
It is pretty much unknown why this is the case, and the first Bensu and Rae pair aren’t on record so it isn’t determined when this was discovered.
But because of this both races have a bond that has formed a sort of dependency on one another. This is why neither race have died out yet, they have each other to thank for one another's continuance.
It is safe to assume that both races work in tandem with each other, and most settlements of Bensu or Rae will have a good few of the other in its presence.

people who go through the main tags of big and tumultuous fandoms looking for new fresh good posts to reblog are essential to any circle. they’re like true hunter gatherers leaving the safety of settlement and braving the unknown wilderness to find food for the flock. they risk their lives every day and will come back with a few scratches at best and severe psychological damage at worst

What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It's very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it's now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.

Yandere Short Stories:
Let Me In
Yandere Francis Mosses (Doppelgänger) x GN Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Swish. Swish.
You leaned back as your foot steadily rocked the cushioned seat of your desk chair from side to side. It was yet another boring day of being the doorman for this apartment complex. Yet you couldn’t help the shudder run down your spine from time to time since you constantly felt under surveillance. Then again, perhaps you were going slightly insane from working such long hours in such a narrow space? There was no way someone would stalk you of all people… right?
You let out a low chuckle at your thoughts. You recently felt as if your days melt together. It was the same routine every single day. Stop the doppelgängers from entering the apartment complex. Check their IDs and entry requests. Call their room. You were tired of this consistent repetitive pattern! You wanted some excitement for once-
“Hello.” You jumped to attention when a handsome man stood before you. Your eyes nearly shot out of your head at the blood that stained his face. Was it macabre of you to find that attractive. “I just got off work and I’d like to call it a day in my apartment.”
“Y-you have a little.” Your breath hitched when he wiped the blood off with his thumb and gave you the faintest of smiles.
“Ah. I hadn’t realized I made a mess earlier. Thank you.” The man then handed you his ID and entry request. Francis Mosses was it? He was indeed a looker and his ID checked out… but he wasn’t on today’s list.
“I’m sorry, Francis. You’re not on the list today-“ you scream when he slammed his hands on the window. His half-lidded eyes now wide open and bloodshot. This man no longer looked like an angel, but rather a demon. A demon that would no doubt rip you apart and swallow you whole.
“I’m not on the list? I’m sure you could let me in.” You quickly push the emergency button but his large hands grab the metal doors before you can shut them completely. You gulp when you spot the veins bulging from his gray hands. “Haven’t you been bored lately? You always look so lonely at your desk… I’m sure I could show you a good time.”
Well, Francis wasn’t wrong- no! You can’t endanger the residents! You dialed the D.D.D’s number with haste which made the doppelgänger sigh.
“Fine! Have it your way.” Francis casted you one last look. “But I will be back. And you will let me in. Remember, I’m always watching.”
You deflated like a ballon and sunk back into your chair. Your body felt as if your bones had completely melted from how scared you were… you’ve never encountered such an aggressive doppelgänger before…
“You have contacted the D.D.D. A group of agents has been sent to your building.” The garbled voice on the other end of the line brought you back down to reality.
You sighed and leaned forward to put your face in your palms. What on earth did Francis mean that he would always be watching?

The Man in The Box
Vernon's dark eyes flicked between the thin journal and the delicately carved, light wooden box on his desk. He had read through the first few pages of the journal and wasn't entirely sure what Theresa's motives were anymore. To send something like this to him, carried by her 5 year old daughter no less?
A hot breath escaped his lips as he placed a large hand over top the chests lid. His sharp blackened nails scraped lightly over its top as he traced its texture. It was beautiful quality wood beneath his rough skin.
He stared at the combination lock on its latch for a long time. Such an interesting mechanism it was for the time it was created.
...57370
Gently he input the numbers and he heard the faintest click as the lock undid itself. He was still ever so contemplative, should he open the lid?
Inika was still sleeping on his chair, it could be a dangerous thing to open it with her in the room. Carefully he slid the last digit up one causing the lock to re latch. Then quietly he moved throughout the room, cautiously picking up the sleeping girl. He would not need his room tonight, he would give her his own bed.
After making sure she was still comfortably asleep, he left the room. The door clicked behind him as he closed it, before he made his way back to his desk.
Once more he undid the lock, then placed his thumb on the lip of the lid. The nails of his other hand tapped gently on the desk, he didn't know what to expect when opening this box. But the phrases "the imprisoned" and "punishment" in the journal are what mostly floated amidst his thoughts.
Who or what was being punished, and how did they manage to fit them into such a small space? And why did they feel it unnecessary to include a damn name. 
A crack appeared beneath the lid as he finally willed his hand to move. Vernon was unafraid of consequences, as not much scared him these days. It was just morbid curiosity that drove him to investigate.
Immediately his sensitive nose picked up on the faint scent of gardenia and lavender. The pleasant aromas weren't something he was expecting, neither was the sight of royal navy velvet covering the inside of the delicate chest.
His eyes traced the sight before him, the preserved vibrant colors of the padded inside; and the still figure laying in its center.
A noise akin to a silent question escaped the back of Vernon's throat. There was a small person, this was the recipient of some unknown punishment.
He lay quietly and bound taught in a diaphanous gold silk. It tied around his arms binding his hands to his chest, and his legs were bound at the knees and ankles. There was a seperate strand pulled across his lips. Besides the silk shackles and black silk trousers, he wore nothing else, leaving the pale milky skin of his upper half to glint like a pearl in the candle light.
Vernon's immediate thought was that the obsession with silk bondage was incredibly exorbitant. Whoever this was must've been an important person for such a pretty display. It was almost more like an expensive coffin than a prison.
If it weren't for the slow and steady rise of his center and the near absent heartbeat, Vernon would have assumed he were examining a corpse. The figure did not move in spite of the disturbance of his box being opened.
He had long raven black hair, also donned in gold silk, it was tied with a bow near the base of his neck allowing the rest to cascade behind him like a river. This left his right ear and neck vulnerable, along with his soft jawline.
Vernon would've thought him to be a pretty sight if he didn't appear so malnourished; it was almost saddening, actually.
Suddenly, as if sensing the open cool air for the first time since the chests opening, the man shivered. Muscles, almost nonexistent after years of disuse, twitched beneath skin. A shuddering breath flowed from his nose as he curled more into himself, resting in a fetal position after a few seconds.
It was then that Vernon could only just hear the mans heart quicken from its previously sluggish pace. He was waking up.
Left with not much else to do, Vernon closed the box, resetting its lock. Immediately the floral smells and small movements were muted to the outer world.. Vernon was left to stew in his thoughts, his attention turning back towards the journal.
He would have to finish reading to know more about this small man.. Theresa had told him in her letter that he should read the journal before even touching the box after all. Of course, she should have also known that he would investigate first despite her writing to do otherwise.
If it were really that dangerous for him to look first and read later Theresa would have no doubt said so; therefore he didn’t feel all that guilty.
But in the back of his mind he couldn’t help but wonder about what was in store for the future.

the third semester of p5r is wild if you think about it from sumire's perspective, and that's without even getting into the whole sumire/kasumi thing.
imagine you wake up one day and the entire world's a little bit fucked up for some reason. you see a building flickering in and out of existence (the same one where you awoke to some crazy JJBA stand powers, except last time it wasn't visable from the outside). so you call your friend/crush (??) because he knows more about this shit than you do, and he shows up with the idol and ace detective, trademarked 'pleasant-boy' goro akechi?? for some reason??? but hey, if he knows about the metaverse then that's good enough for you. he's a nice enough guy anyway but then you get INTO the metaverse, and his outfit is the edgiest thing you've ever seen, and the moment you get into a fight he's releasing what looks like years of pent up rage by screaming and laughing maniacally while absolutely tearing through shadows. and hes flirting (?) with your friend/crush (??) the whole time
but while he's literally calling your friend/crush (?) a loser and an idiot straight to his face, the meanest thing he calls you is a scardy-cat. he never refers to you by your first name and always uses the honorific '-san,' even while he's yelling. he commentates on every one of your kills like a deranged and zealous sports commentator. you think he respects you (???) youre not sure
