#the gf just wants to dress deacon up like a goth or emo and he doesnt really know how to interpret the interest in his clothing

[sqlmn]

by the power of modern day AU, I am delighted to announce that Fulj can have a girlfriend ! I haven't named her yet but have a few in mind so ... soon (TM). She is the one that she loved in canon before the whole memory wipe and as you can see, penchant for black, black hair, brown eyes, and prone to weird statements. Perfect balance to Deacon's weird questions.

HOWEVER ! I mentioned the problem of Deacon still having facial blindness to someone and how there is no glow from the deities for him to identify them. And her solution is the funniest thing ever so I have to do it. He identifies people by smell. So when he is in the same room as Ymber and Oh when they first cross paths, he doesn't really think about it. But later when he sees Ymber alone and gets the same kinda scent, same cologne or something, he knows that's not the taller guy therefore that's his scent ! Perfect!

So... unfortunately.... Deacon really can't beat the weirdness allegations in AUs...... he's stuck like that. Fulj has referred to him as a guard dog in canon and now he's a tracking dog. RIP to him.

(and because Deacon gets my facial blindness I am giving Fulj's girlfriend ANOTHER trait of mine I wouldn't wish on anyone because it's also really funny. She can't smell. She can taste ! She just can't smell. So she loves talking to Deacon because he explains smells as foods for her to get the vibe across. Which are REALLY weird conversations no one else wants to hear.)

#the daily life of a deity sucks #modern deities and their weird lives #im gonna actually make that the tag #also The Girlfriends live together and so they have the same kinda scent to Deacon but even if he only has one around #he can pick them out which weirds Fulj out even more until hes like #but if I smell you and there is no greeting its you and if I do get a greeting its the other #and Fulj is just baffled that THATs the tell ... flipping greetings #also since Oh is just one person in the AU since they were never split to two #they are delighted by the funny scent tracking and is just SO happy to tell Deacon and Ymber #Hey Ym I need to borrow your boyfriend so he can pick out a nice cologne for me so he knows its me #and Ymber is like weird but okay whatever you want if hes ok with it #and Deacon is too ??? over being referred to as Ymbers boyfriend and not having it outright denied so he agrees in a daze #to go help pick out their cologne and just question his life at this point #because he cant not be weird he has to go above and beyond while explaining how a cherry smell tastes #and everyone except the girlfriend who hears it is just... kinda.... weirded out by how he describes things #while the gf is absolutely delighted to have such descriptions #Fulj is just ... i love you babe but hes so weird how do you do it #and everyone else except deacon is just whispering to each other about who has to break it to Fulj #that her gf and Deacon are basically the exact same levels of weird and no one wants to because she will get so defensive #the gf just wants to dress deacon up like a goth or emo and he doesnt really know how to interpret the interest in his clothing #and just they are so precious and never woulda met in canon even if Fulj didnt have her wiped from her memory #she was alive centuries ago
