Nick-Names - Genshin

Characters: Xiao, Scaramouche, Venti, Lyney, Albedo, Kaveh, Thoma, Diluc, Childe, Heizou, Kazuha x GN reader

Warnings: a lot of cheesy and weird nicknames, if you dont like some for a specific char you're welcome to send me your ideas, could be modern au, established relationship

(you can clearly see that i prob put in an OC, so im so sry, but some i just also really head-canon as the "would rather date a loving person than be loving" if you get what i mean)

Summary: both of your pet names for each other, some silly some sweet

Note: you can really tell where i had no ideas for nicknames. and ik i use both 'pet names' and 'nicknames' but im just kinda stupid and didnt care to change stuff when i was already done with it. also i may just have a problem but why does princess sound 10x better than prince, no matter your gender, anyway love youuuu

Xiao

He will always say what is on his mind, and he did the same thing when you brought up using pet names. he wasn't very fond of the idea, and sometimes he still isn't(depending on the situation). but he has gotten used to it more over time, like when you burst open his door and to talk to him while using the most absurd nicknames he´s ever heard of.

Pet names for you: lovely, qinxing, [shorter version of your name](sry people with short names, i fell ya)

Pet names for him: babe, baby, cutie, dove, birdy, my alatus

Scaramouche

Will never admit he likes being called weird things by you, EVER. if he did then he was drunk and he was totally lying. and that counts with calling you stuff as well, he would rather die than admit he doesn't just call you that bc you wanted him to.

Pet names for you: idiot, princess/prince, dear

Pet names for him: smoochi, love

Venti

He was probably the one who suggested the idea at first, like two days/weeks (seconds) into your relationship. i also think he already had at least one nickname for you when you were "just friends", in the crushing phase, and has some for all his other friends as well(prob also his teachers if school au, lul).

Pet names for you: windblume, cecilia, [insert the cheesiest thing you can think of], my love

Pet names for him: venni, my dear, sweetheart, my bard

Lyney

He would be over the moon if you gave him a nickname, and would instantly be looking like a tomato too. would increase its usage by tenfolds if you said you liked one of his nicknames. you cannot stop him even if you somehow got 'Father' involved.

Pet names for you: babe, mon trésor, mon amour, beautiful

Pet names for him: sweetie, amour, lyn

Albedo

He didn't really see a use for it at first, finding it kind of useless. but sooner or later realized how happy you looked when he had somehow slipped up and called you 'love' when he needed your assistance. and later just didn't bother to stop.

Pet names for you: love, my cecelia, my dear

Pet names for him: 'bedo, lovely, (my) genius

Kaveh

He LOVES nick-names, probably made one for everyone in the friend group(yk alhaitham, tighnari n cyno), and would be delighted to make some up for you.

Pet names for you: beloved, lovely

Pet names for him: baby,

Thoma

He really wanted to try using them, yes he calls Ayato and Ayaka my lord and my lady, but its just not the same as calling your lover something sweet. and good luck if you don't like it, he's keeping those names forever.

Pet names for you: babe, sweetheart, baby, sleepyhead, lovely

Pet names for him: babe, love

Diluc

He honestly wasn't a fan at first, he hated it even. but of course, you being you, insisted on using names for him, and encouraged him to at least try to use some for you. so he kinda got into routine with it.

Pet names for you: my love, my dear

Pet names for him: dear, red head, love, my hero

Childe

Of course, he would use nick-names and such, he uses nick-names for the traveler and paimon, so of course he would be using such with you. honestly how could he not, especially when you're looking all cute cuddled up in his hoodie.

Pet names for you: my love, beloved, cupcake

Pet names for him: ginger, ma strong man(only for teasing purposes), hubby

Heizou

He'll almost never call you by your actual name, he didnt even when you two were just friends, only in the most serious of times would he do that. so it was no surprise that when you actually started dating, they could only become sweeter and cheesier as time goes by.

Pet names for you: princess/prince, baby, beautiful, (my) sunshine

Pet names for him: hei, zou-zou, babe

Kazuha

He loves it bc no matter what you call him he'll be happy. and he makes sure you have "some" as well, and i guess he just can't stop coming up with more, and they're always more cheesy than the last. you don't know how he does it, but maybe its just his poetry skills coming through.

Pet names for you: dove, (my) love, sweetheart, sweetie, my dear

Pet names for him: kazu, dear

thank u for reading whatever this thing is(totally not a filler bc i habe been working on that streamer au for too long), luv ya-Masterlist

You are welcome to reblog and like any of my posts, but you CAN NOT translate, copy or hate on anybody for liking my posts

@bk-4-trash-fire gave me an idea, i was thinking about writing the cult of the lamb au but...

What about Undertale?

İf you dont know or didnt pay attention to it, the player is known as the "anomaly". So naturally they won't realise you as their creator (unless its a character who knows that their world is a game COUGHCOUGHgasterCOUGHCOUGH)

Now lets all take a second to realise that... Genocide route is a thing.

How would characters react if they saw the worse of you? And your powers?

----------------------------

Story under the cut!

GOD OF CREATİON AND DESTRUCTİON

Featuring: Venti (other characters coming soon)

----------------------

A celebration was happening on all across tevat.

For you.

You created them. Gave them life, loved them and even made them stronger than they could ever imagine, and all it took was to pray to you.

You could just leave it at there, you could just see Tevat as a game and nothing more, they would be happy with just being your puppet, yet you gave them more than that.

You visited them, just to meet them and love them personally. You could do that to any other world but you choose to stay with them.

They could do any celebration to you everyday, but this wasnt the reason for their happiness today.

You chose some of your acolytes for them to visit some of the other worlds you created.

The others were jealous. What did THEY do to deserve it that they didn't do?

But they were happy nontheless, they get to be closer to you by knowing your worlds. No one in other worlds didnt get a chance like THAT before!!

Not knowing that they simply asked. And you were like "sure why not?"

__________________

VENTİ THE BARD

He stared at you dreamily as you (attempted) to play an ensturment that you never played before.

Angel's share was loud as usual. That's spesificly because you were wearing a disguise, so no one would think they are disturbing their god and try to keep it down. Only Diluc, who is working today to keep an extra eye on you as the bard and you sat and drink the night away knew who you realy were.

The insturment was given to you by another bard, you seemed like a friendly face so they knew they could trust you with an insturment while they use the restroom. Even said "feel free to try playing it! Who knows maybe you will like it?"

Your brows were furrowed and your head was tilted to the side as you are trying to find the correct note for the song. Everytime you find one your eyes go wide, shining, then you try the next note.

His toughts were cut short as you raise your head, "i think i did it! İt took a while but i finaly did it!"

"Congratulations! İ knew you could! What is the song about?"

"There was this one... World... İ visited it as a relaxation. And the moment i heard of this soundtra- uhh song, i fell in love with it!"

"Ah, İ know the feeling of falling in love with a song! Didn't know you were romantic like that~" he teased.

"Haha, well there is alot that you don't know about me yet"

"İ want to know! Can you tell me more about it?'

"Hmm... How about... We go there together?"

"!!!" He almost fell from his chair, Diluc looked at you in disbelief "your highness, are you sure that you want to go with... Him?"

"H-hey now what does that supposed to mean!"

"İ simply think they might rather go with someone who is more respectful towards them and their world."

"Well jokes on you!" He got up from his chair and hold your hand "they choose me! That means im respectful enough!"

He turned back to Diluc, grinning "and maybe they preffer someone thats not emotionless all the time?"

And before Diluc or you can say anything, he drags you away from the Angel's share.

"Lets go now!"

"Where???"

"The world you were talking about silly! Where else?"

"Now? İ mean we could but, maybe we should let others know since-"

"But you are free today, and who knows when we will be able to spend time like this again?"

You tought about it for a second. He is right, you don't know when you will be free from your duties again, especially with him? This might be a fun opportunity to have fun!

But the world he was talking about was...

He slowly let go of your hand "uhh, but if you don't want to, thats fine! We can do something else!"

"İ was just thinking, its been a while since i visited that world, i never personally visited it either."

You crossed your arms "im not sure what i did in that world last time. So it might not be what you think."

"Thats fine! İ always wanted to travel anyway" he beamed. "Hehehe, imagine Morax's face when he asks where we were!" You also laugh. Maybe this will turn out fun!

---------------

Short, yellow flowers that grew on the bottom of the pit is the first think both of you saw as your visions slowly get used to the dark.

İt was quiet, the air was suprisingly clear for a cave under the ground. You saw Venti, who is trying to commit everything to his memory, he leans down to touch the flowers, they were soft, and smells like sweetflowers in Tevat.

"Shall we?" You said, pointing at the dark corridor.

He gets up and was on your side in an instant.

"Lets go!"

After both of you go through the gate you realise two things.

One, flowey was nowhere to be seen. And two,

"İts *cough* realy hard to breath in here!" Venti said "is it because we are underground?"

You stoped breathing for a moment as the realisation sinks in.

"Lets head back" you said, half panicking.

"What? Why? We just came here?"

You never tought about it. İf genshin was a real world, then so is undertale. And in this world you...

"İts empty, l-lets come back another time!

You imprisoned them in this hell and tortured them, over and over again. Just for your entertainment.

"Theres nothing to see here, would you like to go to anywhere else? Theres a world about music?"

"Woah, whats gotten into you? You seem upset, Are you ok?"

You started to panic, you killed those monsters. They didn't do anything but be nice to you and you killed them.

You learned that the games you downloaded were real when you got isekaid into genshin. You never tought about the other worlds and what you might caused to others.

What if he learned that? The god of freedom seeing what you had done to the monsters here, would he think of you as the monster?

Would he hate you?

"Hey, don't be upset! We can leave! We don't have to stay!"

"Y-yeah lets leave-"

Theres a sudden noise coming from across the Hall.

"Hey! What are you! Are you humans?!" You saw froggit with an armour, from asgore's castle.

"A talking frog?" He looked down.

"You are under arrest! As a member of the Royal guards, i won't let the underground go through another horrible dissaster!"

"Hey now, Don't you realise who are you talking with-"

But before he could say it, the fight menu is opened. Everything went black. And your souls have

You peaked at your LV, 90. Just as you feared it would be.

Venti brings his weapon out, waiting for your order. You mentioned him to put it away, and clicked on the MERCY menu. You intent to run away. You dont want to remember it, you don't want to kill anyone again.

Of course, being LV 90, you dont have the option to run away anymore. You desperatly pressed ACT instead, and chose the friendliest option that might get both of you out of here.

---------------------------------------------------------

You told FROGGİT "We don't want to fight. We are just kids that need help"

---------------------------------------------------------

FROGGİT didn't understand what you said but pitied you anyway.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Are those white bugs-"

"Get down!!"

You try to drag him away from the attacks, having memorised all of them, but it was harder in Real life and with an unexperianced person with you.

When you failed to dodge on of the attacks and it hit Venti in the arm. His pained voice makes you panic even more.

İt was even harder to concentrate this time, what will happen if you get caught? Will they bring you to...

Suddenly your toughts were stoped byba sudden pain on your side.

"Y/N!!!"

Once the attacks came to an end, he checked you for injuries, ignoring his, only to realise you aren't phisicaly hurt.

You check back to the game window.

---------------------------------------------------------

FROGGİT seems like it doesn't want to fight you anymore.

---------------------------------------------------------

You never clicked MERCY that fast in your entire gaming life in undertale.

Froggit looked at you, "you are right, even though a human did that to us, not all humans could be as bad as them!" He turned back and walked towards the ruins. "Come, i will guide you to a safe area."

...not all humans could be as bad as them...

"What was that about?! Are you ok??"

"İm fine Venti. Here, eat this."

"What is this?"

"Just candy"

"Dear, as much as i love candies and want to experiance the world, are you sure its the time..?"

"We don't need Medical attention in this world. Eating is enough."

"Are you sure?"

"İm sorry who created this world here?"

"Oh, hehe, right!"

You both eat in silence. Slowly getting used to the dust in the air made your skin crawl, as if you accept everything you have done. You want to leave, and delete this game for good. But that would mean killing them once again.

"İm sorry" he broke the silence "you didn't want to be here but i forced you to."

"İt's not your fault."

He smiled sadly "You don't have to lie to make me feel better, your highness."

"No, realy, its not your fault. İ...."

The silence grew once again. What could you even say? You know he also killed people but yours was diffrent, more horrifying. Even if he didn't hate you, his wiews of you would change forever.

"Also why didn't you let me kill it?" He asked.

"What?! Why would you?'

"İt attacked us! İt attacked YOU!"

"İ know but its just a frog"

"İt was a monster, not a normal frog!"

You looked at him "so thats how you can easily harm a hilichurl, because they are monsters?'

"...This is not our topic."

"... You are right." Why are you saying this? This is exactly what you did in this world "im sorry.."

"Are you realy ok?"

Well, there was no point in denying. "...no im not"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"....."

You hear froggit hop through again "whats taking you so long? Lets go it isn't safe!"

"We will stay here." Venti said, still on his guard.

"Look, i know you guys are humans and never saw monsters and all, but we will be the least of your worries if you meet them."

"Who is that human anyway?"

You shiver.

"There has been another human that fell down here, not so long ago. İ didnt get to meet them but i Heard that they have a scary aura around them. Some monsters say that they smell like... Dust..."

"Dust?"

"Humans and monsters are diffrent, humans stay the same when they die but for monsters, we turn to dust."

"...is this why its... Hard to breath?"

"Yeah but thats not the scariest of them all! Wanna hear a story?"

"No we don't." You said harshly, but it didn't come out as intimidating as you hoped it would.

"Of course you do :D" froggit sais

"Everyone who fought them died exept for one person!"

Oh no you didn't beat sans yet...

"And they even said that human has SOOO much determination, that they get reborn when they die!"

"Gets reborn... After they die?"

İt was one of your powers.

İt won't take long untill he puts two and two together. You need to shut it up NOW.

your words didn't frighten froggit before, but your stare certainly has.

"Uhhhh anyway, you guys come with me when you are ready!" And with that froggit flees.

......

"...your Grace?"

"....."

"Was that human... Your vessel?"

".....They are."

"Oh. Thats why you..."

"Can we go now please?"

He can tell that you don't want to talk about it, especially now. So he just followed you, without a word.

______________

You are greeted by the sound of busy Mondstadt streets. İt was a beautifull day today. Perfect weather for a nice walk, but after THAT encounter, you couldn't bring yourself to even move from where you arrived.

"..such a nice weather! Would you like to join me for a walk?" Venti asked hesitantly. "İf... You want to talk about it, ill listen."

"....you know you don't owe me anything, just because i created this..."

"..game?" He added, smiling. "İ know. İm not doing it because i owe you."

"But after what you heard, why would you.."

"Lets go! We can talk about it when no one hears us."

"Where are we going?"

"İ too have my regrets you know. İts impossible to live a life without having those. So of all people, i know that this doesn't make you a bad person.

İ am reminded of my past mistakes everytime i go to windrise, so.. why not talk about it there?"

____________________________________________

I’ve been bottling up a lot of my feelings for a while now and I think I need to just talk about them. Im sorry if Im being a bother.

@f4y3w00d5 @gobodegoblin @monsterfucker-research-wizard @vivithecatgirl @the-necrobotanist @combustion-witch @good-wizard @ash-the-tiefling @the-moth-wizard-of-mayhem @drew-bard-for-hire @mango-lord-of-poison @selldemapplez @aroace-wizard @terrencetheshark14 @drewp1 @mersinia

I want to rp with you guys but I’m still scared. Back when I did do rp I felt like I was always either too slow to keep up or that I would be left behind. It’s none of you guys’ fault I just suck at stuff. But I’m ashamed to admit that part of me was jealous of how well you guys could roleplay, and how much you all contributed to the world. But it felt like whenever I tried to do something, anything, it would already be too late. Like I’d try to help solve a problem and by the time I actually got the chance to say anything the problem would be solved already and I’d feel useless. And even when I started my own stuff it would suck, and I always ended up retconning it, and I feel so deep in my own bullshit that I don’t want to put you guys through the trouble of cleaning it up. I thought if I died in rp and there was no more pressure to rp anymore, that I’d be happier, but now I’m even more jealous, and I have nothing to talk about with anyone. But after a month, I know I’ll never be able to catch up. There’s more people who I don’t recognize now and I’m scared they’ll hate me. And every day feels even more too late to start again, I don’t want to go back to being dead weight like I always was and knew I’ll be again, but the jealousy I feel eats away at me. I don’t want to be on this break anymore but I know if I come back I’ll be useless just like I was before. I want to have fun with you all but I’m worried that it’ll come at the cost of your fun. This shouldn’t be as big of a deal to me as it is but it just feels that way to me. I’ve been left out of things my whole life and the one time I’m actually welcomed into something I suck at it and my own fear drives me away from it. With how much I’ve been excluded it’s almost triggering how much I felt excluded before and exclusing myself on my own terms only made me feel worse. I’m scared and angry and I have no right to feel either. I’m angry that I feel so jealous and I feel selfish for even wanting to come back. Even for this post Im angry at myself because I feel like I’m dampening the experience for all of you by exposing you to my pathetic feelings. And even more than that I’m scared. I’m scared of losing you all. After I died I just stopped talking here mostly and I feel like a piece of shit for that but without rp I didnt know what else to talk about, and so I feel like I abandoned you guys. I’m scared that you’ll all just forget about me, or that if I come back you’ll wish I wasn’t here. I’m scared that the new rpers will wish I wasn’t here. I’m scared you’re all happier without me. And I’m scared that by reading this you’ll think less of me, that you’ll think I’m blaming you all and that you’ll leave me behind because you’ll realize from this that I’m crazy and that I’m not worth the effort just like I know I’m not. Please don’t think less of me. I love you guys. I’m sorry for all this trouble, and I’m sorry that I need to ask for help. Please help me. I don’t know how but please help me. I don’t think I can help myself because I’ve already tried.

Hello! I hope u don't mind my questions, but regarding the Emperor's Acolyte AU, is it possible for you to elaborate further about Raine's relationship with King and his position in the Kingdom of the Red Sun? And what of Edric and Emira and their position in the moon court (i think?) I absolutely LOVE the concept and the possible exploration in the day-to-day life of the people stuck within the kingdom, INCLUDING that incredibly interesting play! How did King even find Luz's manuscript, anyway?

first of all just posted smth explaining the militia so i think thats a good point on where to start thinking abt everyone´s places in all this vv

second of all , King´s been around Raine for as long as they been turned into head of the bard coven , King always holds a certain curiosity for everyone in the castle ,but his interest turned further when he took notice of Eda´s relationship with them when he was "kidnapped" in the Owl House for a bit (if you check my #emperor acolyte au tag for a sec youll see a small fic of a scene between luz n king transcurring at that time)

Since King starts seeing the Owl Lady as a maternal figure for him (it sorta starts off as wanting to get something Luz has but really, King just needs honest affection and Eda´s doesnt feel like it has any ulterior motive) , King sorta turns Raine into a royal "advisor" bard figure but in reality he sorta rlly just wants to matchmaking them n Eda so they can form his own idea of a family ,King likes to hear their music before sleeping and they unequivocally bond over extremely similar trauma in the hands of the Emperor´s Coven, to the point it makes Raine feel extremely guilty they didnt try getting him outta it much sooner considering they are realizing this is a 9 yr old whos been treated like a dog by the worse person in the Isles not even allowed to talk to other people besides the Emperor n Kikimora, in a way this guilt drives Raine further to not leave the castle to the small rebellion that Darius n Eber been forming.

Speaking of Darius n Eber, Darius n King has a small confrontation/argument that lead to their leave, Eber at first didnt actually mind the way King was running things since it was all sorta thrilling and battle oriented , but since hes inseparable from Darius he aint gnna be ditching his buddy ya know. Darius was just trying to get information of his old mentor, because King KNOWS about the way he died because Belos told him , at least his own version of it, but the more heated Darius got at King´s avoidance of the details, he ended up saying something that made the kid snap at him like "You care more about your mentor more than Hunter, where is he now? what would your mentor think about the way you treated him up until now?" which pretty much shut down that whole conversation, parting ways.

Regarding Luz´s manuscript, it was unfinished, she wanted to join that writer´s competition just as she did in the original episode but some other adventure ended up calling up to her ,so she just sorta forgot abt it or decided it leave it for other day. When the Owl House got raided by the Emperor´s coven n everything was sent to a warehouse, King came up to that warehouse to get Owl Lady´s stuff n move it into his new castle basically , he came upon it while just looking thru Luz stuff n decided to read it through because hes nosy ( he did the same with eda´s diary before), he´s never rlly been allowed to write his own stuff even when he was taught to write and read, so he decided to take it upon himself to make it "his" novel, and subsequently his play , as a way to vent all out his feelings of the world , his feelings towards Luz and everything else, plus to make a big statement culturally for the Isles.

for Edric n Emira, they were dragged into the Moon Court for Collector´s favor , because they were essentially living around them for a good while before turning into King´s Right Hand . Odalia´s been disposed off but not killed (because Emira convinced em to Not Kill their mom as much as the twins n Amity hate her because thats already so much trauma), Alador has run off to join Darius growing group as a way to find a solution to this whole, mess.

Samantha? Cause really curious about her in your au

send me mnmoms au asks pwease i need to talk about this au

samantha samantha my samantha <33 i could talk a LOT about samantha in my au. canonically, her main character trait is like... high intelligence, low wisdom, and thats about it. which usually is very sad, but for me specifically is great because it means i go crazystupid with her. i will try to be brief but HKFGDJHFJKD gonna preemptively assume this will have to go under a cut anyways tho, because i love to ramble !

as stated, samantha's main character traits in canon are like. ron's hot moron4moron wife, will fall for a nigerian prince scam, is very straightforward but kind. which is absolutely fantastic and i love her more than anything, but i needed more than that. so i made her god's favorite weirdgirl <3

samantha's class is a life domain cleric! i need to work out the exact details still (i think maybe something to do with samantha's jewelery since i always draw her with a very specific biiig golden necklace), but when she was transported to the forgotten realms, she was chosen by a low ranking goddess to receive her gifts of healing. i think she fits well to be the healer (though mercedes knows some low level bard heals as well), it fits her kindly therapist vibes. i did also, unfortunately, made her a "i could fix him (absolutely cannot)" girlie because you just gotta be honest. its so real for her. which i think also fits for a healer LMAO so shes the partys healer! you may be saying "hey, travis, arent clerics supposed to have high wisdom? didnt you say samantha is high intelligence, low wisdom?" and yes. they do. she is. this is a dungeons and daddies au. theyre not meant to be good at their jobs. in general, samantha is the optimist of the group - shes cheerful bordering on (and often crossing over into) full on ditzy, shes the 'people person' of the group so she is usually the one who is sent to sweet talk people along with mercedes, and shes just. everyones sunshine. shes level-headed, sweet, and a total doggirl. mercedes and morgan both call her "sammy" near exclusively, which i know could be heresy against the ronnie/sammy special nicknames headcanon, but i cannot help it. shes just a sammy to me.

shes also very very very convinced that she is the leader of their little group, but carol is convinced that she is the leader of their little group, and the two of them bicker about it constantly. theyre very in love but if samantha cant passively aggressively tell carol that actually, samantha was the one who got them out of the last kerfuffle no thanks to you, she will self-implode.

because of her therapist position, i wanted samantha to come off as a character that seems very put together, emotionally intelligent, and normal when you first meet her. however, as time goes on, you realize she is actually very silly and not... great... at emotions when it comes to herself. its kind of a fun opposite to her dear ronnie! plot-wise, shes on this roadtrip as a bonding exercise with her son, who she loves very dearly <3 they used to be extremely close, but ever since the death of her ex-husband, her and terry junior have struggled to see eye to eye. the main issue here is that she tends to go 'therapist mode' with her personal issues - she thinks she has to put terry's feelings first, so she only asks him how hes doing, how hes feeling, how can she help etc without ever showing her own feelings on the matter. in samantha's head, shes being a good mother by not putting her feelings onto her son. in terry junior's head, samantha is pretending that terry senior never existed in the first place. so samantha's character arc actually resembles darryl's in a lot of ways, where she has to learn to be emotionally vulnerable with her son!

i couLD SAY EVEN MORE THAN THAT BUT THIS IS ALREADY VERY LONG i have many sammy thoughts. shes my dear darling golden retriever girlfriend except actually i think she would be a chocolate lab because they are known for being friendly, affectionate, extremely playful-

#monsters and mommies au #samantha stampler #dndads #raemeh #isadora this one goes out to you. my dear samantha stampler stan friend

Discord be talking DnD AU.

Grey - Cleric/Artificer. A studiour nervous sort, Half orc, half elf, he doesnt seem to fit anywhere, but given the chance will prove hes a very well read, very elequent man with a good heart. If only he could stop stammering when nervous.

Peach - Monk/Druid. Wandering the mountains was her life, she happily did this to grow herself. Socially a misfit, not at all well versed in etiquette. A Goliath woman who knows only survival. Now all she needs is a lesson on what NOT to say to strangers.

Plum - Bard/Rogue. Known in many towns for her jovial songs and melodies, this wood elf is keen to empty someones pockets, and vanish just as fast. Able to blend into any social setting, from high to low class. Could do with some toughening up.

They met in an inn, peach wandered from the plains to stock up on supplies and cash in some pelts, stopping for a drink before leaving. An annoying little creature wouldnt leave her alone, some pointy eared woman with a lute. She got too close to her too fast, and so the Goliath left quickly. Only a minute later as shes walking off up the road does she notice her druidic focus has been pick pocketed. The flash of that elf's smile in her personal space came to mind, storming back to find her and retrieve her item. A chase ensues, Plum dashing off fast, thinking she coudl outrun this woman. Peach however has monk speed, and managed to trail her to a local place of learning, a library of sorts. Inside plum tried to hide, but failed, gettign caught by this woman. Grey, looking up from his books notices the commotion and feels for the pair, knowing the guards would be called at this rate. He managed to deesculate the situation with his smooth talking, and the trio leave the building without fuss. He buys them drinks and tries to clear the air, perhaps settle their anger, and for what its worth, it works. He has never met a Goliath before, theyre a rarity in this area, he has a million questions, most of which peach is happy to answer, blunt is her thing. Meanwhile plums pickpokceted someone else, this time getting caught. The bar turns on her, and Grey pleads with Peach who's kicking back laughing at this foolish thiefs ways. He bought her a lot of drink and has been nothing but reasonable, so she's swayed to get involved, intimidating plum from the villagers grasp, and leaving promptly. The trio get chased out of town as soon as its clear they didnt take the rogue to hand her in, and are forced to travel on the road together to survive. well...Peach is fine alone, the other two tag along uninvited. peach calls plum 'rat thief', a name that sticks.

she has no social connotations and is very quick to say what shes thinking, no filter.

plum is a notorious flirt, and finds it irritating it doesnt work on this mountain of a woman, a mountain she has swore to climb herself, she's seen a lot, met many folks, but a goliath is new territory.

she's very quick to tease grey who is activley nervous around these women. one because she could crush him without trouble, the other because she could shank him without being seen. hes into both, but is too shy to do or say a word about it.

grey is gutted that he was run out of his home, his things left in the inn, unable to reclaim what he lost.

they get up to all sorts of shinanigans. mostly plum trying to get this idiot giant to sleep with her, while bullying grey for his clear crush that hes trying to be gentlemanly about. peach:oblivious to all.

ballad appreciation post

i’m so happy :D. i’ve watched ballad twice this week. the second time i watched it w my brothers i didn’t have anything to say about it bc i was mostly just on edge about not getting kicked out of the theatre but since i teased a breakup over this Boyfriend was on his best behavior so i actually got to watch the movie without anyone asking a million question a scene. in related news we have another lucy gray truther on our side. here are some of my thoughts

1. tom blyth opening screen …. i still got jumpscared seeing him in the nude

2. the way they pronounce lucy grays name still catches me off guard. i’ve been ignoring the “i” completely and just say “bard” in my head (yk bc she’s The Bard). with that being said i know the mayor was in like 2 scenes but i think he did a really good job picking out lucy grays name he looked crazy

3. hunter schafer is my eyebrow inspo. also i’ve mentioned this before w the bathing suits having a 1920s and 50s vibe but she’s giving 1940s to me. but obviously glamor 1940s not war ridden 1940s

4. watching this w someone who hasn’t read the book is so enjoyable. when lucy gray dropped the snake down mayfairs shirt Boyfriend got SO tense “waitwait did she just try to fuckin murder her??” god forbid women do anything

5. okay sorry but the first time i watched it i was trying not to smile (in a laugh-y way) when lucy grays singing part came on. when i read it i thought that part ate but actually seeing it was so different for some reason. i think this feeling might be amplified if you’ve never read the book bc my sister felt the exact same way she said it was kinda fuckin cringe. idk if it was just bc we were at home or she was just feeling silly but she started singing that one camp rock song that’s like “we can’t back down.” which ok yeah that was kinda lucy grays song in a nutshell but it kinda did piss me off bc the “you can kiss my ass!!!!” part was coming on soon and i was stressing over them missing it. also didnt lucy gray have a full on dance break in the book?? god. they should have kept that in

6. okay that scene where she bowed and d12’s nasty ass coal industry being in the background is still one of my fav scenes. ugh loved it

7. wovey idk what it was this time but when she was like “im rlly good at climbing” i almost burst into tears. guys she’s really good at climbing

8. hunter schafer literally killed this. i’d argue that tigris is just as much of a product of her environment as snow is but i don’t rlly know how to articulate that

9. speaking of the reading vs watching thing i mentioned earlier: it rlly jumped out with grandmaam. idk why but when i was reading it grandmaam was SO scary and intimidating to me but watching her so frail and skinny and slightly senile talk about how lucy gray is a killer just seemed so crazy. especially since we know snow believes her

10. “they’re gonna get bombed aren’t they” wtf i walk into every movie clueless how are ppl straight up predicting entire events. but again w the reading vs watching i was GAGGED when they got bombed in the book but in the movie it seemed weird?? like “get the camera on her” and then it just feels like they’re trying to take up space until the actual bombs land. but whatever im being so bitchy i wasn’t surprised bc i literally knew it was gonna happen

11. “i want coral making my latte” and i want tanner on the grill

12. i think it was tanner, but i rlly liked his outfit. i liked all their outfits actually. i’ve been watching so many reels abt the costume designer explaining her inspo for the costumes (like tigris and her 1940s glamor thing going on)

13. okay seriously why did they cut out the kiss… and then when they actually did kiss why did they have lucy gray pull away at first…… i know francis lawrence saying this was a love story was icky but he did a bad job at portraying that so maybe we were worried for nothing (jk we were worried for all the right reasons bc if i had a nickel for every time someone said “i thought they were gonna get married!” about lucy gray and snow i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice). also not to be a hater but snowbaird fans actually fucking irritate me. like the fans that are like “but what if it was wholesome 🥺🥺” what if lucy gray tried to kill him and he tried to kill her back? what if he managed to track her down and she bit him again? what if they hate each other so much that they’re only together bc they wanna see the other person suffer? what then

14. tbh seeing billy taupe made me feel a bit guilty 😭😭. almost terminated my ao3 acc but i get that feeling every time someone mentions something im obsessed w in a very casual way so it wasn’t rlly that serious. also someone either on tiktok or insta was like “was i the only person who preferred snows curls to his buzz cut?” and i genuinely couldn’t tell if they were joking bc like. everyone prefers snows curls to his buzz cut. even snow prefers his curls to his buzzcut. with that being said billy taupe needed to lose the cap

15. ngl the ballad of lucy gray baird actually did make me cry a bit… lucy gray was only 16 she needed to be on tumblr

16. where’d she get that guitar from tho

17. i wish they would have kept in the tributes death parade. that part was icky

18. okay there was a scene where lucky had a drink and then he flicked something off it and pup (i think that was his name) flinched cos it landed on his neck that was so fucking funny i hate that this was the first time i noticed it

19. okay seriously why did they make dill get poisoned. also that cornocopia scene. hmph

20. the first time i watched it i remembered being really confused why lucky called mizzen Merciless Mizzen. but omg after he tried chasing lucy gray down in that vent i understood that was crazy of him. and it did seem like he was an actual teenager which actually made it more unsettling. i feel like rachel zegler has a baby face (i actually think she was 17 in west side story and she looks the exact same now) but mizzen’s actor sing singing her name was perfect

21. lamina at the beam… didn’t she manage to kill someone in the book??

22. “does this mean we get to go home??” god i wish

23. but also “please lucy i can’t have killed all of them for nothing” i liked that she didn’t call her lucy gray that was a nice touch. but also. what a crazy thing to ask. i wonder if she thought lucy gray would be chill w that

24. take this with a grain of salt i haven’t read the books in so long but when snow snuck up on lucy gray in the meadow didn’t she level her guitar at him and then be like “sorry lol i still have one foot in the arena :P” they should have had her hit him in the face w it

25. the old therebefore still hits. i wish they would have included scenes where snow is shown to genuinely dislike her songs like in the books. in the movies he seems more disinterested in what she’s doing which is still bad but also it doesn’t seem as overt as him literally hating on her for no fuckin reason. which i guess is bc we have no insight into his head, like i think someone pointed out that in the book and movie he cried over sejanus being dead but in the book we know it’s bc he was scared it was gonna be him next but in the movie it just looked like he was sad. which i get it he’s perceived as nice by other people but the audience is not supposed to be other ppl we know what his motives are. im not sure how that’d be solved, cos i guess it would be pretty annoying to have him voice his thoughts and you also don’t wanna spoon feed ur audience but like. idk. seems like something you’d wanna make super clear bc to me it didn’t seem like you were supposed to like / sympathize with him, but the way it was done kinda seemed half baked

26. speaking of that… Boyfriend did not get the memo that snow was fucking crazy. “i thought he was gonna marry lucy gray in d12” WHY? like why would you even think that. were u not paying attention during the hunger games trilogy marathon where would lucy gray fit into that. since my sister thought the exact same thing she tried being like “see? it’s confusing” but it actually isn’t. that’s still a better reaction than my brother he was actually being a fucking weirdo about it cos when snow found lucy grays scarf in the woods and then the snake bit him this mfer went “she tried to kill him” no!!! but i think there might be something to be said about how snow, completely sober, came to the same conclusion as my brother, who was so high he couldn’t even remember who sejanus was

27. okay that’s a lot of sibling lore so atp i think i better end the post. bye

#the ballad of songbirds and snakes #long post #i can finally stop posting about my damn rainbow dress now i wore it and it was very warm

The Witcher Headcanon - Trouble Bonus Scene: Interlude 1

I wasn't ready to let go of baby!jaskier just yet. I'm thinking of writing more of these interludes as I think of more little baby!jaskier bonus scene ideas.

So here's the first one!

Pretty much what happened before the Witchers reached Yennefer's house.

Geralt is sitting by the fire, cleaning his sword, when Eskel comes crashing back through the trees, yelling his head off.

He's holding a baby, and is almost as white as a sheet.

Confusion swept through the camp.Where did Eskel get a baby from? Did he kidnap it? What is a baby doing out in the middle of the woods?

The first thing out of Lambert's mouth was "Good gods, Eskel, you can't just take a random baby you find in the woods! It's probably Fae! Go put it back where you found it before the mother comes after us!"

"IT'S JASKIER, YOU JACKA**! He's been cursed!"

*chorus of swearing*

"D*mn it, Eskel! You were supposed to be watching him!"

"I was! We were gathering firewood! He said he had to take a sh*t!"

"You weren't supposed to let him go off by himself!"

"I didnt'! He went like, ten feet into the bushes!"

"So you did let him go off by himself!"

"Oh, f**k you sideways with a blackthorn branch, Lambert! What was I supposed to do, stand right behind him and watch?!"

"F**k, Yennefer is going to kill us!" Coen moaned

"Shhhh! Shut your gob!" Lambert whispered fiercely in near panic, "Don't say her name out loud! You might f***ing summon her here!"

Geralt might have rolled his eyes as he took his miniature bard from Eskel, but he also refrained from mentioning her by name. You could never be too careful.

The camp was enveloped in tense silence.

"She doesn't have to know..."

All eyes turned to Geralt in an odd combination of surprise and hope. "We don't have to tell her. We can just stop at the next town and get their mage to break the curse."

"Yeah, yeah!" Coen said excitedly, " We can fix this ourselves! She never has to know. And we all get to live!"

There was a murmur of enthusiastic agreement. They decided that first thing in the morning, they were heading for the nearest town. For now, they had to figure out what to do with baby Jaskier.

The only experience most of them had with children, was trying to get away as quickly as possible from their frightened screams.

Babies were even harder to figure out. They couldn't talk. You just had to guess what the noises and various smells meant.

Then Coen voiced a very valid concern. "How are we going to feed him?" Everyone froze. "I mean, most babies don't eat solid food, right? Their mum's feed them. But we don't have a mum handy, so..." There was some uncomfortable shifting.

"We could always go find a mum and-!"

"We aren't going to steal a mum, Lambert!"

"I was going to say 'And ask her what to do' you c*ckwomble!"

"Wait, wait! He's got teeth!" Eskel said, after feeling inside Jaskier's mouth.

The Witchers: *relieved sighs*

Eskel felt something warm start soaking into his shirt. He thrust Jaskier out at arm's length and quickly turned him away from him. Witchers scattered to avoid the stream.

Eskel made the mistake of setting him down so Coen could rinse him off. Jaskier took a few toddling steps while Coen brought over a waterskin. "Aww, look, he can wal--!" Eskel began, and then ended with a curse as Jaskier took off, squealing and giggling.

He wasn't moving very fast, but it was hard for the Witchers to catch him. How could a child that could barely walk be so hard to catch?

The problem wasn't that he was fast; he could barely manage a stumbling run. The problem was that the Witchers were terrified that they were going to fall on him and crush him.

They just sort of hovered over him, following at a slow, awkward shuffling crouch, as they tried to herd him to where they wanted him. He kept slipping by them, toddling between their legs or pivoting in a random direction while they desperately tried not to trip on him.

No one really wanted to try to grab him by an arm, just in case they accidentally pulled it off. Babies were delicate, after all! No one wanted to be the one to have to explain to Yennefer why her Bardling was missing an arm.

He was rounded up after what felt like an eternity of close calls with the fire, pointy weapons, and assorted dangerous camp equipment.

Geralt and Eskel tied a rag round Jaskier's bottom while Lambert and Coen worked on cooking the rabbits they had caught earlier.

Jaskier started getting fussy, and kept squirming and whining. He ate a little of the rabbit and then clung to Geralt moodily.

"Gods, he whines and fusses as much as he did as a grown man!" Lambert remarked, covering his ears as the tiny bard cried.

"And he's just as clingy," Eskel added teasingly, earning a glower from Geralt. The white haired Witcher said nothing, but noted that Jaskier felt a little warm. But then again, babies were supposed to be warm, right?

He smelled different too. Was he sick? Was that a normal smell for babies?

Geralt put him down for a nap in a crib made from their saddles and a blanket. He thought they would have an hour or two to relax and fine tune their Fix It Before Yennefer Finds Out Plan, but, alas, it was not meant to be.

Lambert looked up from where he was poking at the fire to see that Jaskier had escaped the saddle pen, and was vomiting right by Roach's feet...

Roach leaned down and sniffed at the tiny human that had toddled unsteadily up to her. Her ears pricked forward as his hands patted at her nose. It smelled like Jaskier, but the human in front of her was little more than a foal.

She smelled the scent of magic on him. Ah, Witcher Business. Geralt would handle that part.

Roach was concerned. Jaskier was too little to be out on his own, and the Witchers didn't seem to be aware that he was wandering loose. She would just have to take care of him herself.

Besides, she'd always liked Jaskier. He annoyed Geralt (which amused her), he always gave her treats when Geralt wasn't looking, and he would always scratch that one itchy spot she could never reach.

The mare gently herded the foal against her leg when he tried to wander past her.

Foal Jaskier made a distressed sound and threw up at her feet. Then he started wailing. Roach nosed at him, trying to comfort him. She could smell that he was ill.

That was when the red haired Witcher shouted and hurried over.

Lambert, still shouting, ran over, reaching for Jaskier, and had to backpedal fast. Roach laced backed her ears, arched her neck and lunged forward, pawing and squealing angrily, putting herself between Lambert and Jaskier. Lambert barely avoided her teeth as she snapped at him.

Roach was not going to let this brute hurt this precious foal while she was around! No, sir! Mama Roach was not going to stand for it!

Lambert cursed and retreated when Roach turned her hindquarters to him, stamping and threatening to mule kick him into next month if he came any closer. The Witcher backed off and let Geralt deal with his b*tchy mare.

Geralt just walked up, ignoring Roach's posturing and snorting, and gathered the crying toddler into his arms. Roach backed off. She and Geralt both knew she wasn't going to do a d*mn thing to stop him. Geralt gave her a pat and told her she was a Good Girl for protecting Jaskier and promised he'd get her an apple from the market.

Geralt held the fussing baby while his brothers set up a small tent. He tried to get Jaskier to drink some of the broth from the stew, but he kept turning his head away.

Geralt knew babies often threw up, but he was still starting to worry. Was he sick, or had he just swallowed too much air while he'd been eating? Was that a thing? Was he supposed to have burped him? Did he even need to be burped? Was that normal baby warmth, or was it fever?

He finally took him into the tent and managed to get him to sleep. Geralt dozed off at some point, but was awakened when Jaskier started to cry. The Witcher groggily sat up, thinking the toddler had dirtied the rag diaper.

Then he smelled it. The inside of the tent was filled with the sour reek of bile. Jaskier was hot when Geralt touched him.

F**K!

Geralt's oath drew the attention of his brothers, and they turned to see Geralt scrambling out of the tent, holdng the feverish child.

"We need to leave. Now." Geralt rumbled, yellow eyes filled with worry as the Witchers gathered around him. "There's something wrong with him!"

"Let's get him to the Healer in Aldersberg, it's closer-!" Eskel began.

"No," Geralt said quickly, cutting him off. He grimaced as if biting into sour fruit, "We need real help..."

The Witchers all cringed and shifted uncomfortably. They knew they were probably riding to their collective gruesome deaths, but they rushed to break camp.

Jaskier threw up on Lambert while he was holding him so Geralt could saddle an impatiently stamping Roach. It smelled foul, and Lambert nearly threw up too. Inspite of the smell, he didn't stop to change his shirt, he just handed Jaskier up to Geralt and silently mounted up.

Minutes later, they were riding hard for Vengerberg.

The party stopped only to let the horses rest, and to try to get Jaskier's fever down. The baby bard drank a little of the milk they had bought while passing through Aldersberg, and then projectile vomited on Lambert.

The red-haired Witcher, though somewhat exasperated, had nevertheless been a tiny bit impressed. He'd only ever seen grown men spew like that. He changed his shirt, and soaked the clean parts in water to run over Jaskier's face and back, trying to cool him down.

One of Geralt's spare shirts was torn up and used as a diaper after they had to stop so Geralt could change his pants when his lap was abruptly soaked in 'the brown water'.

His face went whiter than his hair. Geralt's soul tried to yeet itself from his body in self-defense. The stink, the warm, oozing wetness, the runny, mushy consistency...

0/10 would not want to do that again. Ever.

He wordlessly passed the dripping baby to Coen, then slid from the saddle and went to change his pants, arms held away from his body and moving in a slow shuffle, walking as if broom handles had been shoved up both pant legs

Roach and the other horses stood by watching curiously as their riders made various exclamations of horror and disgust, as the sopping rag slid down the screaming foal's legs and landed with a wet splat in the grass. They began running to and fro in agitated panic as they tried to deal with the messy blow out.

The brown haired one was trying to carry the soiled rag away on the end of an awkwardly long stick, while the bald one held the foal out at arm's length while looking both lost and disgusted. The red haired one tried to clean the foal off by pouring water on him while trying to stay as far away as possible.

The brown haired one came back and reluctantly tried to assist as the other two tried to clean foal Jaskier off by wetting him down and dragging his botton through the grass.

Roach's Geralt returned from changing into his spare trousers, and rescued the indignantly screeching foal from the three idiots. He wiped him off with a vomit stained shirt, then wrestled him into the makshift diaper.

The Witchers got the bright idea to stuff the new rag diaper with big wads of grass. The result was a bulky, lumpy, messy affair that made Jaskier look like he had a comically large bum that was sprouting grass in some places. It wasn't pretty, but it would do for the remainder of the ride.

They were quite pleased with themselves. The haphazard design ended up being a stroke of genious. When ever Jaskier dirtied the diaper, all they had to do was dump the grass out and stuff it with more!

Roach died a little inside at the waste of every perfectly good handful of grass that was stuffed into the diaper.

Jaskier spent most of the journey fussing or sleeping fitfully. By the time they could see the gates of Vengerberg, he had been crying almost non-stop. They rode fast throught the streets, letting the crowds get out of the way as best they could.

After what seemed like a harrowing eternity they were jumping from their saddles and crowding around Yennefer's front door.

There they hesitated for just a moment, looking at eachother with varying degrees of dread. This was it. Take one last look at your brothers, boys, because we are all going to die. But at least we are going to go out together!

Geralt nodded to his brothers, then bravely stepped forward and started pounding on the door and shouting for Yennefer.

They heard the ominous sound of the witch's bootheels on the floor. It sounded like a Death Knell. Doom was approaching! They instinctively drew closer together, and then the front door was flying open and Yennefer was snarling "Oh, gods, not you f**kwits! What the h*ll do you want?"

And then Geralt, his face a mask of worry, was rumbling helplessly "Yen, you've got to help him!"

I know it was a while ago you talked about Raine interacting with other characters, but what do you think about Raine interacting with Gus? I can't quite put it to words, but i think there are certain similarities and contrasts with them, and how they present themselves, that it could be interesting. Something with Gus starting to use his illusion magic in more pragmatic way, like with showing Belos his past, too (and parallels to Darius&Willow more obvious parallels, huh)

On a more silly, fanfic-y note, i want to know what was the dynamic between Raine and Eber - did they see how each of them interacts with Darius, and did their braincells immediately combine to tease and troll him together? Or was Raine kinda "awww, Darius cares about you" towards Eber, while Eber was somewhat jealous Darius had an old friend in his life again?

But in the actual show i think just one short dialogue between Raine and Darius about the rebellion and their sacrifices and different approaches would have done so much for both characters. Maybe even make Raine's promise to Luz be more about Raine's approach to Luz as a teacher, rather than only about Eda. And i believe they could have found time for it if in the episode if they structured it differently and didnt waste it on woobifying Alad or. Even in the last episode, instead of Raine doing googly eyes at harpy Eda that does nothing for raeda except cheapest fanservice, they could have just shown Darius and Raine (and Eber) trying to help the civilians while the Collector starts chaos, so Darius's character isn't abandoned completely either.

(Sorry this took a while to respond! Here are my thoughts on it!)

That's an interesting perspective on Gus and Raine's potential dynamic. I think Raine was really gifted with bard magic in the same way Gus is really gifted with illusion magic, but people tend to underestimate them because their magic isn't considered as "useful" or powerful as other forms of magic. Thankfully Gus has a group of friends to help him understand his worth, but even then, he still has some insecurities, some guilt of hiding things from people they love and care about. I'm sure Luz has told Gus a lot about Raine and how talented they are with bard magic. Maybe once they defeat the Collector, after everything's settled down, Gus would go to them on his own when he gets the chance.

Since we didn't see Eberwolf at Hexside (and I'm not sure how exactly how people like them age), I assume Darius met him at young adulthood, I don't think he and Raine are particularly close honestly. Raine doesn't know of his history with Darius, but tbh Darius might have told Eber about an old friend he knew in Hexside. When Raine took their place as the Bard Coven head, I guess Eber started to put two and two together. And once Darius and Raine started to work together again, it's a bit of an adjustment for Eber. I definitely don't think they hate or even dislike each other, it's just really awkward and unfamiliar to them both. They've had to become used to each other as they worked with Darius to stop the complete extinction of witches and demons on the isles. They haven't really gotten the chance to get to know each other in the way that Raine knows Darius and Darius knows Eber (even then with Eber and Darius, their dynamic is most likely influenced by their experiences so close to the Emperor.) Again, post canon will be the opportunity for Raine to have connections with people that they weren't able to under Belos's rule. I can definitely see them having a more playful/teasing dynamic once they don't have to worry about people trying to suppress their magic and kill everyone

Also YESS I would've given anything to see Darius and Raine talk one on one about the rebellion on their own (maybe with Eber, maybe not lol) I really get that the crew was pressed for time but them just having Darius just say "oh yeah i was a turncoat the whole time lol" feels a bit... anticlimactic given it was kind of obvious when he appeared in Hollow Mind.

I also have quite a few questions about what happened in the beginning of For the Future. You'd think at least some of the coven heads would stand a chance against the collector's spies. Maybe Raine and Darius, maybe Hettie. Definitely not Adrian lmao. Maybe they couldn't straight up defeat them, but at least evade them enough to escape. How did Odalia (and Terra I guess) manage to temporarily win the favour of the collector to avoid getting puppetted? (Even with Odalia, her clothes seem "puppeted" but she retains her body autonomy) Maybe it'll be addressed in the final episode but I don't have particularly high hopes.

#asks #the owl house #raine whispers #at the end of the day #i aint write the show and it is a kids show #so all i can do is think about missed potential #and maybe write about it #long post #lets just get this last episode over with #im gonna be honest #i dont say this often but i prefered fan interpretations where the coven heads and other BI citizens were kinda in this apocalyptic setting #trying to survive the collector's 'games' as they heal from everything Belos has done

mondstadt character hcs! part one

*see how venti has one finger up im so clever for picking this gif*

basically how they think of each other and crap, i didnt listen to the voicelines so this is definitely not uh canon compliant? this will include npcs!

CONTENT WARNING: swearing since diona and rosaria exist

VENTI AND ROSARIA

the aunties that don't talk to each other for like, fifteen years and they randomly meet each other at the mall and start talking while they leave you in the middle of the electronics store.

they're wine aunts who give bad advice and hand-me-downs to you

they used to babysit kids but had to stop because of a warning from jean

venti gets so drunk that sometimes rosaria takes him to her quarters in the church

venti will randomly sing at the tavern and he always manages to get rosaria to play the lyre for him while he sings

they have nicknames for each other

"bard boy" and "catwoman"

rosaria doesn't quite understand the reference but venti giggles to himself and thinks of batman theme songs ✪ ω ✪

rosaria = instigator of drama

venti = doer of drama

rosaria will always update venti on church drama

"hey bard boy, have i told you about sister rosette cheating on her boyfriend with eury's husband?"

"that's awful, is eury doing alright?"

"she already had the divorce papers"

"wow, how awful is her husband?"

"just bitchy enough for me to dislike him as well"

"language, catwoman!"

"😒"

"but i do have to say, the erotic undertones of the situation make for an incredible song! shall i write a ballad 'bout this scandal?"

"yes."

DONNA AND DILUC

"all i can think about is diluc!" x "who?" i am DEFENDING DONNA WITH MY LIFE do not hate on her on my watch (╬▔皿▔)╯

donna was definitely writing in her diary about the darknight hero after she met him, but she knew that a mysterious figure like him wouldn't be easy to talk to....

so i know in my soul that this madwoman decided to investigate

diluc knows that someone is investigating him and he's trying to work out whether or not kaeya went back on his 'promise' to keep it a secret, but he hasn't ruled out the girls who are into him.

donna DEF has those detective novels and basically gained inspo from there for her investigation, she also has those boards where you connect pictures with yarn and shit.

she's definitely aware that something is up with the wine tycoon man, but she still hasn't gotten to that point so diluc is listed in her suspects list....

meanwhile diluc is still working out who could possibly be looking into him... the fatui? the harbinger he met in snezhnaya four years ago? could it just be kaeya's ass snooping around? or was it diona trying to kill him again?

donna's wannabe detective moments end when she starts to get bored of darknight hero and starts simping for diluc once again

(i just find donna x diluc so funny but i also rlly want them to interact FOR REALISES💀✋)

JEAN AND KAEYA

wlw and mlm hostility. THEY'RE SO FAKE TO EACH OTHER I JUST KNOW IT...

the passive-aggressive energy that enters everyone's bodies the nanosecond these two see each other.

"hello jean."

"good to see you too."

*silence as amber enters the room and awkwardly scrapes the chair across so she can sit*

"what'd i miss?"

i know in my soul that whenever jean's on a mission, kaeya sneaks into her office and sits on her chair for the ego boost

everytime kaeya leaves the room, jean rolls her eyes def

kaeya used to steal her food at work but varka told him off so he only steals her hairpins now

sometimes jean, amber and eula go out for church but every single time, kaeya manages to crash the outings.

"oh how lovely, there was a church session and nobody invited me? how cruel of you girls..."

"barbatos give me patience"

of course, they don't hate each other. jean and kaeya are friends and only playfully act mean to each other. but sometimes jean wants to throw him off the church's towers and sometimes kaeya wakes up everyday and decides to piss everyone off because of his daddy issues.

DIONA AND BARBARA

i hc that diluc gets barbara to babysit diona since he knows that diona doesn't have many responsible guardians in her life... sad

"diona, mr draff said that you need to do your homework D:"

"tell that old man i dont give a crap!"

"diona! if you keep cussing like this, i'm going to–"

"that old man? huh! daddy can't do anything about it because his oldass has been drunk all morning! i'm gonna go bomb the wine industry with klee, can't stop me!"

"hey! hey! klee's grounded, come back here!"

diona bullies barbara whenever she babysits and barbara is on her last nerve

they do get along whenever barbara gets her to scrapbook, she even gets klee over so diona behaves for once.

"d'you think i drew margaret right, diona?"

"uh, klee... i dunno how to tell you this but that looks like a garbage can."

"you're right! is it a good garbage can though?"

"ah, girls! don't speak ill of miss margaret..."

"all that lady does is drink, barbara!"

"juice?"

"wine, klee."

"oh jeez."

sometimes barbara finds herself breaking down from all the pressure while she babysits and diona begrudgingly comforts her, telling her that she shouldn't let anyone make her do things she doesn't want to.

diona even offers to beat up her stalkers, to which barbara quickly decines.

diona does it anyway.

SUCROSE AND AMBER

i hc that amber has a rock collection and that she once helped sucrose collect bones unknowingly and that's why sucrose admires her so much i also hc that amber is amazing at stitching and just makes people clothes when she has nothing to do

sucrose is really awkward during meetings at the knights, so amber always helps translate her words whenever she tries to speak up.

which is why they always sit next to each other during meetings!

sucrose sends amber random rocks she finds and amber greatly appreciates it.

sucrose is pretty dang good at art as well since albedo's art studies was so easy for her to grasp, so she sometimes asks amber to give her things to draw.

amber sometimes stitches sucrose socks or leg warmers whenever she has time

they're not the closest of friends but amber considers her a good friend.

MONA AND ADELINDE

i hc that when mona finally settled down in mondstadt, she met adelinde while buying groceries and they became friends mona likes to tell her about alll the predictions she has for people in town

"adeline, dear, i bought a new scryglass this afternoon and i do believe sir diluc's fate has become much more clearer."

"please, please, please let the young master have a good love life..."

"ah shit–! excuse my manners, adelinde, i think i must've seen something i shouldn't..."

"what? what is it?"

"it's the young master... in carnal embrace."

"...excuse me?"

"twice..."

"what"

"once with a young woman he met in snezhnaya and another with a fatuus."

"..."

"i would like to see kaeya's love life."

"let's hope it isn't something so promiscuous."

can you tell that i love being nosy

⋆⛧┈┈┈┈﹤୨♡୧﹥ ┈┈┈┈⛧⋆

if this post gets seen by anyone, you can drop ur reqs down there, i would prefer platonic pairings instead of ships ◑﹏◐ (i do ship kaebedo and fischl x noelle so those pairs will be included somehow lolsss)

thinking abt how to get gil and harvey in the old hexsquad shenanigans without uprooting them or putting them conveniently into a dangerous situation but im afraid they’re just gonna have to be put into a dangerous situation

was trying to find info about st epiderm and saw a crew-story about sword magic

maybe it could be one of the many adventures outside of bonesborough?

they all go up the knee for Odalia’s birthday party and naturally, she and alador are fighting. They’ve been fighting the whole way there and it’s making everyone miserable and awkward. most of them didn’t even wanna come but got dragged up by Darius who didnt wanna be alone with them and the other populars (he got a taste of non-toxic friendships and now he’s having a tough time).

Odalia’s is being a jerk so she practically forces everyone who weren’t specifically her friends to sleep in the same room. which… tbh would be kinda fair if it’s something she needed to book in advance. buut she didn’t and it’s her family’s vacation home with a bajillion rooms. enough for everyone and their guardians to have their own room.

so Lily, Eda, and Raine are basically roomies. which is still fine for them since the room itself is huge anyway, and the bed is so big it could fit five.

Eda wants to go have an adventure. since Raine used to live up there, they offer to give the squad a rundown of all the local lore. They didn’t really think anyone would wanna act on it since the magic up on the knee is so much more potent and the beasts are more dangerous. so they tell them about the secret stacks of St. Ep’s library and how it’s said that in there holds secrets of magic that are so ancient and so dangerous that not even the bravest of wild witches dare try.

so obviously, Eda wants to learn it.

Lilith tries to talk her out of it but is p much ignored after Raine says they have a man in the inside who would sneak his bf in all the time.

Man of course is Gilbert, who coincidentally is accompanied with Harvey who claims they’re just friends who sometimes hold hands and cuddle.

This’ll be before Eda and Raine start dating too.

Raine is all “really dude”

and Eda replies with “hey, we do that all the time and we’re best friends too!”

Darius does a check in with Raine to check if they’re good. Eda has no idea why they’re taking so long to follow, so she checks back, and sees them laughing with each other. basically she thinks she’s about to lose her best friend.

some time after finding the secret stacks entrance and entering it, the squad accidentally unleash an eldritch horror onto the school and have to slay it before anybody catches them.

cue barging into Gil’s room for that classic “walking in on an almost kiss” scene

Eda goes “woah what’re you doing?” “dude obviously they were about to ki—”

and then Harvey yells “KICKBOX”. pause for effect. then he gets kicked by Gilbert, who is done with the games, and asks what they’re doing in his room. Cue the low guttural growl of the monster.

After running a lot, the squad makes it outside, but Raine gets cornered by the monster. This triggers the owl beast, which turns out is now bigger than the monster. by a lot.

It eats the monster.

but now Raine is confronted with the Owl Beast. Lilith is trying to stop everyone from hurting Eda, but all anyone sees is the beast. Lilith is crying and apologizing to Eda.

but Raine isn’t all that scared. They know Eda and they know she wouldn’t hurt them if she knew what was going on. She was just afraid. using bard magic, they place a calming effect on her and talk her back down. Eda is exhausted to say the least.

In the end, Harvey apologizes to Gil and says that he was just afraid of them not being friends anymore if they start dating. Gil disuades those fears by saying that the reason he likes him so much is because they’re such good friends. and that as long as they communicate, they’ll always be friends first. they agree to go slow. Gilbert tells Raine that they’re welcome anytime but to maybe keep it chill next time.

while everyone is walking back, Eda stops Raine to talk to them. she thanks them for not attacking her or letting people attack her, to which they reply that she should thank Lily for the latter. as for the former, they could never be scared of her. because they’ve seen what a huge dork she is.

Eda still looks down in the dumps though, prompting Raine to ask what’s up. like. Is it the part where she almost attacked them because they can hold her off on their own too. then Eda tells them that she saw how close they and Darius have been getting. and they and Lilith, and Alador, and that she’s just afraid that they’re seeing she’s not all that cool of a person to hang out with.

Raine throws a snowball at her and tells her to stop talking about their best friend like that. They didn’t have many friends at St. Eps. Even Gilbert was a lot more social and didn’t actually hang out with them all that much. Not that they minded. but Eda was the first person ever that they felt really connected with. “you’re special to me, okay? nobody else comes close.”

they give her a kiss on the cheek and tell her to hurry up because everyone else is probably back at Odalia’s family manor already.

When they turn around to catch up to everyone, they don’t see Eda blushing all “oh no I have a crush”.

#this was longer than i anticipated

crossovers so silly!!

the below is literally just me pointing out how all my silly little shows with all my silly little people are in the same universe, im putting it below a keep reading thing because i understand the utter pain of having to scroll through all that

httyd, toa, toh, rotg, gravity falls, and vox machina, etc, theyre all in the same universe. mort theory theorizer level shit but like!!??!?!?!

stuff

-dragons and trolls and gnomes

-douxie mentions orcs, elves, dwarves, etc

-gravity falls and the owl house are already connected canonically so

-silly bards with their silly instruments they hit people over their silly heads with

-i dont watch the podcasts for vox because of spoilers, but there is a fire realm and a whole lot of dark magic, so shadow realm??

-somebody confirmed httyd and toa were connected, i think it was aaron but it was a while ago

-either way, you can see 1. stoick's helmet in the museum 2. astrid's axe when toby is picking out warhammer and 3. a yaknog mug

-also httyd is canon because the trolls treat maces and talons like dnd while strickler implies its treated more like chess (like how it is!!)

-genuinely sorry for people who dont like toa or httyd as much but theyre my hyperfixes and the only things i can focus on real!!

-with all the bullshit going on in the states for these kids, i wouldn't be surprised if the silly guardians were going around too

-douxie is slightly older than bunnymund because bunny looks like the actual number 8 dot ask me why or how it just Is.

-silly big friend who has killed and will kill again if necessary

silly thoughts

-luz meeting toothiana and being terrified that shes gonna ask for her skin or smth

-vee learning about changelings

-douxie and vax fistbumping (i dont know where or why, but i love them both so im adding it.) (its probably the fatherlessness, same tbh)

-valka meeting archie (whos all silent at the moment) and being like 'wow, he truly does look to be part nightfury, he has a very clean coat for a dragon as well' stuff like that, and archie (who sounds like viggo mind you) says 'why thank you.'

-Hiccup desperately trying to study how archie and charlie just??? are??? mans not exactly used to his ride talking back its like siri

-httyd is 1000s, there is no nine realms in ba sing se.

-the next person i see say 'douxie should be 800 not 900' im going to the!!!!

theory bs

-hiccup and snotlout are cousins (httyd3 doesnt exist i refuse to believe in a timeline that has bearded hiccup)

-luz and jim are cousins (barb and cami both work in medicine and have glasses, also they both beat shit up so)

-hiccup is barbs great great great great something granddaughter, making him related to jim (him, hiccup, and snotlout keep getting hit by lightning its gotta be some genetic bullshit I swear)

-dragons add onto your lifespan, like how cats ease stress

-(thats my fix-it for making the riders immortal, ty ty)

-the stronger the bond, the longer the life

-stoick would have been, for example, 1200 at least if he had lived

-hiccups up in the 2000s for that

-theres constant joking that 'oh at least my grandpa didnt colonize dragons' when talking to jim, hiccup feels awful for it, archie repeatedly assures that its like wolves and werewolves / apes and humans

-the glowing rock in the hidden world is a heartstone

-all of these shows are connected, just over different time periods and places.

-(megamind and monsters vs aliens could also be added in here, given Blue Alien With Forehead Shit)

#long post #like seriously if you get caught up in reading and cant focus on other things (me) dont read this #media analysis #kinda i guess #tales of arcadia #httyd #the owl house #gravity falls #rotg #vox machina #crossover #i love them sm #my beloveds #my sillies

take a BIte

here it is: the promised oblivious bisexual!Jaskier/Sam the baker (collective OC (affectionate)) 1.7k, rated T. On AO3 under the same name. EDIT: Beta’ed by the lovely @julek

The man has been staring at Jaskier all evening. And why wouldn’t he? Jaskier is at his best, here and now, a brilliant blur of color and noise. He looks good, and he sounds good, and he’s famous, and Burn is a damn good song.

The man in question looks kind. He’s got a nice smile, soft cheeked and rosy. His hair is soft, too, all in curls. All of him looks soft.

Jaskier doesn’t take too much note of this. He makes sure to pay attention to everyone when he’s playing like this, to note all of them, to sing to them, at least for a few words apiece.

But after he’s done playing, the man comes up to him, hands him an ale.

Jaskier is never one to turn down free ale. Especially not these days.

But he’s not thinking about that! He’s popular here (he’s popular everywhere!), he’s just been given a drink, and he might have a friend to share it with.

“You perform beautifully,” the man says. “I’ve come to see you every time I can.”

Jaskier smiles at him. “You should’ve come up sooner! I’m here nearly every night.”

“Why this bar?” the man asks.

Jaskier shrugs. He can’t exactly say he’s running an illicit elf-smuggling operation. “Nice to have something familiar, I suppose. To be known.” That was a bit much. This might be one ale too many.

The man gives him a searching look, and sits down next to Jaskier at the bar. “I’m Sam,” he says.

“Absolutely my pleasure, Sam.” Jaskier gives him a little flourishing bow, the best he can while still sitting. “I’m Jaskier.”

“I know.”

Of course he does. Jaskier hates this sort of thing. Either he’s too presumptuous of his own fame, or he’s telling someone something they already know. He laughs it off as best he can. “Doesn’t do to assume,” he says. “Last time I assumed, one of my mother’s friends called me Julian like I was still twelve. In front of a room full of people!”

Sam smiles at him. He really does have a very nice smile. “Can I buy you another drink?”

Sam comes back. And comes back. It’s nice, having something that feels like a friend. Someone who listens to him play, who just enjoys it, enjoys his company. He doesn’t feel like he has to prove himself to Sam. In the university, it’s always about proving yourself.

Eventually, Jaskier finds himself explaining about Geralt. Sam doesn’t press, but one night, he does say, “You always look sad, when you play that one.”

Oh, it’s strange, being seen.

So Jaskier tells Sam most of it. Sam knew he used to be a traveling bard, knew, obviously, that something made him stop doing that. Jaskier explains about the fight, about being left.

Sam puts a hand atop Jaskier’s, and in a soft voice, says, “That must’ve been very hard.”

Jaskier almost starts crying. He doesn’t, because it’s been nearly two years since that fight and he’s a grown man who has more to his life than one friendship with someone who barely acknowledged that Jaskier existed most days. But Sam sounds so sympathetic, and he’s so kind, and Jaskier has run out of people in his life who want to listen to him talk about Geralt.

“It was,” he agrees.

Sam squeezes his hand. It’s nice.

Sam grows to be one of Jaskier’s closest friends. He doesn’t tell him about the Sandpiper business, obviously, but they share a lot more than that. Jaskier visits Sam’s bakery, tries to help and proceeds to get very in the way. Sam comes to the university and brings pastries for them to eat once Jaskier’s finished lecturing. They spend, still, a lot of time at the bar. Not just because Jaskier is there every night, but because it’s beginning to feel like their space.

They’re in the bar tonight, just talking, having a lovely time. It’s all very nice. They’re smiling at each other. Jaskier’s just said something remarkably witty, if he does say so himself. And then, for reasons Jaskier can’t fathom, Sam up and kisses him.

im having xxxholic brainrot rn and just thinking about watanuki, alone in the shop, trying his best to become yuuko, because he can’t trust his own memory, he’s already forgotten so much, what if he forgets her too? so he smokes her pipe and wears her clothes and quotes her and keeps the wish shop going even though he has no idea what he’s doing, because this is one way, at least, he can keep her memory alive

YOU HAVE A ROBOT AU?? please please please a snip or two if you have any 🙏

I do!! the original idea belongs to either @ewanspotter, @valdomarx, or @a-kind-of-merry-war I forget but I have Claimed Fic Rights from them lol. It's AI Jaskier and Cyborg Geralt and so far most of what I have written is banter, so here, have some:

Geralt dumps the pile of metal on the floor with a sigh. Pieces kept falling off the whole way back to the room, he’s been dropping things everywhere. Jaskier has been pestering him the whole time, too, which didn’t make the journey any less annoying.

“So what is it?” Jaskier demands. “I know it’s not for you—half of these aren’t even parts you’re outfitted with, and half of what’s left is incompatible with your parts.”

“Been running scans the whole trip?” Geralt accuses, though there’s no heat in it. He wants to get this cluster of rust cleaned up before he tells Jaskier what it is. He rummages around in his bag for some rust remover.

“Of course I have! It’s not like you were talking to me!” Jaskier is up on his dignity again.

Geralt ignores Jaskier and picks the top piece—a leg—off the pile. He sprays it down and starts scrubbing.

“Geraaaaaalt,” Jaskier whines.

“It’s a surprise,” Geralt says.

“For who? For me?”

Geralt hums and inspects his handiwork. The leg isn’t much to look at, even cleaned up. It’s still scuffed and dented—he can probably work out the dent, at least—and it’s only vaguely shaped like a leg, no attempt to replicate anything organic. Jaskier’s going to hate this, probably. He likes pretty things, and this isn’t—Geralt doesn’t know anything about pretty, but he knows this is purely functional. He wonders if maybe he could paint it.

Stupid idea. He’d just make it look worse.

He works the knee-joint, testing. It grates on itself, and Jaskier complains about the noise.

Geralt fishes out a can of lubricant and sprays the joint.

“Geralt? Is the surprise for me?”

“If I say yes, will you stop asking me about it?”

“Probably not!”

“Then no.”

“You’re mean! Mean witcher. Cruel. Terrible owner.”

“Don’t call me that.” Geralt tests the joint again. It moves much more smoothly, though it’s leaking rust. He wipes it off with his sleeve.

“I promise I will never call you that again as long as you stop destroying your clothes on purpose.”

Geralt grunts. Does he have polish? He thinks he’s got metal polish somewhere. He won’t be able to make Jaskier look human, but he can at least make him look like he didn’t fall off a recycling truck.

“Who’s it for, then?” Jaskier demands.

“Roach.” Geralt puts down the leg, satisfied that he’s done as much as he can for now. He picks up the next piece—this bit’s for motherboard housing. It’s got a fair amount of circuitry in it, but that’s rusted all to hell.

My #1 post of 2022

place your hand in mine (how long can this last)

summary: Geralt and Jaskier, a curse that makes Geralt want to touch Jaskier at all times. 15k, rated M.

It starts with a mage, because everything starts with a mage. The mage in question doesn’t even have the decency of being present, though. Jaskier was wandering Kaer Morhen, looking for somewhere to have a good self-pitying session without anyone overhearing, and he’d found his way to a mage’s workroom, somehow.

In his defense, how was he to know there’d be forgotten mage’s workrooms in this place? Rooms full of magical paraphernalia don’t exactly seem like something you’d just kind of misplace. And yet, here it was. Forgotten.

Anyway, it seemed like a perfectly quiet place for Jaskier to test out his range of motion without anyone overhearing. He hasn’t mentioned the burns to Yennefer, because she and Geralt may not be in each other’s beds again, but they are talking, and he doesn’t want to have that conversation with Geralt. And besides, she’s busy with Cirilla.

The past three days since Voleth Meir attacked the keep have been busy for everyone except Jaskier, it seems. Someone is always with Cirilla, training her in magic or swordplay or who knows what else magical destiny-chosen princesses need to learn. When they aren’t with Cirilla, the witchers are avoiding doing any mourning by throwing themselves into repairing the keep or disposing of the dead. And Yennefer has some magic nonsense to do. Jaskier has been left at loose ends, all his tentative offers to help rebuffed.

So he found the room, decided it was dusty enough and out of the way enough to suit his purposes, and began doing finger exercises. He doesn’t have his lute, obviously, so he can’t practice chord work, but he found something around the right size to hold and didn’t pay any attention to what it was other than that as he tried to convince his fingers to bend the way he needed them to.

It was difficult, which is the reason he’s going to tell people when they ask why he didn’t notice Geralt entering the room. His hands are still stiff, and bending them too much hurts.

“Jaskier, what—let go of that,” Geralt’s voice comes out of nowhere.

Jaskier jumps half a foot in the air and grips his lute-sized something to his chest, because Geralt has, yet again, crept up on him like he wants to scare Jaskier. “What are you doing here?” he doesn’t shriek, because he’s got some dignity.

Geralt doesn’t answer, because his hands come out to take Jaskier’s thing out of his hands, and when they touch Jaskier, there’s a series of very bright sparks, quite a few hissing noises, and a bang.

When Jaskier can see again, Geralt has dropped the thing, and he is, instead, holding Jaskier’s hand.

“Geralt?” Jaskier prompts, because Geralt is pulling Jaskier closer.

Geralt hums. The fucker. He keeps reeling Jaskier in, and Jaskier, weak fool that he is, goes without resistance. He does get a little bit stiff, though, when Geralt wraps his arms around Jaskier in a hug. And when Geralt’s nose ends up buried in the crook of Jaskier’s neck, Jaskier goes downright tense.

“Geralt.”

Another hum, and an accompanying sniff.

“Geralt,” Jaskier repeats. He brings his arms up awkwardly to pat at Geralt’s back. “Not that I don’t appreciate the hug, but. Ah. What. Um. What’s the occasion?”

“I want to,” Geralt says. His mouth brushes against Jaskier’s collarbone as he speaks, and Jaskier is only human. He melts into the embrace.

But it just keeps going. And going. And Jaskier would rather like more explanation than ‘I want to.’ Because Geralt has never been the type to hug just because he wants to. Plus there was the whole thing with the lights and the noise and whatever Jaskier probably should not have been holding.

He cranes around Geralt’s arms to see if he can tell what the thing is, as he wasn’t paying attention before. And he can, sort of. It’s an intricately carved metal bar, shaped like a cylinder sliced in half. The flat side of it is covered in what are definitely—ah. Magical symbols. Jaskier should probably have noticed that.

“Geralt,” Jaskier says again.

Geralt hums. It’s more acknowledgement than interest.

“What exactly was I holding?”

“Something you fucking shouldn’t’ve been,” Geralt says, and again there’s the brush of lips across the skin of Jaskier’s breastbone and it is quite distracting.

“Right, yes,” Jaskier says. “And. Ah. Why shouldn’t I have been touching it?”

Geralt doesn’t answer.

Typical.

read the rest on AO3!

So i was having one of many depression episodes and drew something,,,, i really like @post-cal AU and how they draw Bro so I did something silly and stupid. I also accidentally drew Bro skinny af but it's 'cause it's 5 am for me and I didn't slept at all. Gonna sleep hope you like my sketches zzz

A young man stands alone in Paradox Space.. blank space. This man already forgot what he's doing here. Let's name this dude. Maks: introduce yourself.

Your name's Maks Tihonov. You're a young man ascended to an Ultimate Godtier. Your Godtier is Bard of Rage. After ascending you understood your purpose and big power - destroying the canon. By this power you've gotten yourself in this blank space. At first you've tried to find Ultimate Dirk about who you heard so much from Horrorterrors of your SBURB session. He's trying to create new canon - your job is to destroy it. And supposively you're missing one arm!! Let's talk about this? Maks: tell us about your arm.

You decided not to talk about your arm, scar and other. You only say you lost your arm when ascending to Ultimate Godtier. Maks: change your clothes.

Yea, that's more like it. Now you feel yourself more comfortable. Let's head up on your adventure. What? What adventure? Last couple of months you feel yourself depressed af, you want get off from this. So you try to remember your home, Older Tihonov, Striders apartamentos, you remember Dave and his Bro.. Maks: get to the nostalgia feeling.

Oh yeah, you remember how you got crush on Daves Bro. You thought about him as a cool, chill, sometimes serious and cold dude. He was more caring to you than your own guardian. Older Tihonov almost hated you, you always were in fights, you had a lot of scars on your body because of them. Older hated you, you hated them aswell. Only in moments when Older partied with Bro, you and Dave was in calm environment and could play some console. Sometimes you've checked on Bro and Older to see who win the "beer contest". It always was Bro. Older just passed out after couple of beer cans. After that, Bro just came to you and Dave, watched you play, patted on your head and passed out on the couch. You thought he was cute in those moments. And actually.. your crush is still didnt washed out. Maks: teleport somewhere.

You need to feel yourself better. So you think about Bro when teleporting.. Bro: hear "zap" of uninvited guest.

You hear strange "zap". There's someone in your apartamentos. The fuck.. Maks: see your "beloved" man again.

Oh no he's HOT. Hotter than you remember. You don't know how to feel about this. Maks: understand that's not your Bro.

Wait.. That's not your Bro. Your Bro wasn't heterochromic. Strange. Did this Bro even know about his other eye? Maks: ask other Bro about the eye.

Bro: be bitchy about remark.

okokok so dnd!krabs goes by she/it but she doesnt really care much and usually just goes by she/her but it/its is also nice! tiefling warlock as the post said, i dont have much info for her yet other than its character sheet but heres the little that i have for her so far!

shes trying to recover from a long time debt from bard school! basically college debt, shes a college dropout (kicked out but shhhh) and found most of the proffessors didnt really lile it due to its cynical and dry way of humor which was very much so not how humor is taught at the bard school it attended. also very rowdy and constantly pickpocketed the proffessors.

luckily though, she always had a knack for magics and shit and became a warlock! one night she was staying at a motel kinda place and ran into some old guy and they ended up having a really nice conversation and the guy ended up having a really big fascination with shit like necromancy and dark magic and talked about it for HOURS. after that night krabs kinda made a promise to itself to build her skill to the point of being powerful enough to be able to use necromancy :]]

THATS ALL I HAVE SO FAR ITS KINDA SILLY BUT I THINK IT GIVES DND!KRABS PERSONALITY SHES ESSENTIALLY A COLLEGE DROPOUT TRYING TO RECOVER FROM COLLEGE DEBT AND ALSO HAS A FASCINATION WITH NECROMANCY FROM AN OLD GREASY HUMAN SHE HUNG OUT WITH AT SOME RINKY DINK MOTEL (never saw the old guy again btw)

~krabs :]

oh my god, it has so many layers already aa!!! okay okay, im gonna disect this one by one because krabs is already so interesting damarion, and nice to meet you too :) <3

i can absolutely get it with the college debt :( can't really say i go to bard school but phew, college debt is something o7 !! i absolutely find it hilarious that due to its humour she was kicked out, although unfortunate and not an ideal circumstance to be in, it's stupidly absurd —

once again, bard school continues to be a pain in the ass for aspiring bards </3 what a shame :( not saying i've gone to bard school or anything .. ^-^ /silly

and the sudden twist of bard to warlock? that has so much potential for a character arc aa i can already tell that its gonna be an amazing character to play <3 <3 it's strange how i've only come across little characters with a totally different aspiration from what they originally wanted to do, it's such an amazing backstory

with, as i said, has so much potential to fully flesh out during the campaign! gosh, she's not even my character and i'm getting excited for your execution of it !!

what i'm curious about is if she's going to be / it is, self-taught? or she learns it from somewhere, someone or through.. youtube tutorials or maybe skillshare? :O /silly

and i squealed when you mentioned that it pitpockets and is generally rowdy with its past professors cause i am a sucker for troublemaking rascals!! and it's also a great trait if done properly with a character :O once again the potential is skies the limit !!!!

P.S: cannot get over that this guy just comes along and unknowingly inspired krab's life, it's just.. funny! wishing it the best of luck on her journey for learning necromancy !!
