NINE BLOOD DANCES

Nine Moons for the Nine Circles of Hell

Ruled by Nine Siblings. Or better known as the Commanders of Hell. Each believed to carry a role in the natural world and each a leader of the Devil’s Army. Each Commander is the personification of their circle and is made with a part of The Devil’s Body.

His Brain. His Genitals. His Stomachs. His Lungs. His Eyes. His Tongues. His Flesh. His Ears. And lastly his heart.

With each part, combined with that of a woman of a different species, flourished the consciousness of the circle, and then from a piece of the circle, a body was molded, creating each commander.

Yet with no one to rule over them.

For the Devil has many things to do and does not have the time to watch over the things he created. So, he gets an idea. A funny idea.

For he wishes not to strip himself of more. So, he goes to a mortal man. One who knew all that of the world, a man who had everything that the mortal heart could desire. Expect love–Yes love. For there is a difference between idolization and obsession and honest love. The mortal man had not that, and so the Devil laughed and lured this man to his death. And when no one showed genuine care for the man at his funeral, he fell into despair.

And the Gods who refused to hear his prayers before now stared upon him and pitied him. And sent the mortal man a gift in order to ease the loneliness.

A gift the Devil needs.

You were a gift. Now to whom? No one knows.

All that matters is that you are a gift and not like any of the others of your species. Uniqueness and importance oozes from every fiber of your being. You're important. Everyone says you're important. But why you're so important?

Who knows?

You must figure out what makes you so special and different. You must figure out what drives you through all circles. And you have to figure out why the nine commanders of Hell all have their eyes upon you and wish to have you by their side.

All before the fall of the ninth moon.

PERSONIFICATION OF THE 1ST CIRCLE—LIMBO—

COMMANDER AAPO I LIBERTAS

── THAT OF THE DEVIL’S BRAIN

✶ Personality: Aapo is an overly confident, charismatic man who is proud of the ranking he holds, being that he is ranked above his siblings and seen as the current ruler of the Nine Circles. Aapo walks and talks with a smile on his face and radiates this atmosphere of freedom, which is quickly erased by this underlying need for control, and he demands it. He has no reservations to confirm that. Many fear him despite his faux cheery attitude and overly relaxed posture.

✶ Appearance: He stands at [6’1FT ~ 188CM] with pale brown colored skin that is littered with warm brown freckles. He had deep-set shaped eyes while his eyes were the darker color shades of the rainbow, that fluctuated depending upon mood but remained a deep emerald green. He has short mahogany brown hair with a short fringe that seems messy. He’s lean and long, with long legs and arms. Always wearing overly vibrant and eccentric suits of greens and browns, decorated with bronze and gold.

However, she has a mean streak when hungry and can become aggressive toward those who are men or those masculine in nature.

✶ Appearance: She stands at [5’7FT ~ 175CM] with warm ivory-colored skin, that’s covered in what looks to be scars, that are prominent on her throat, the back of her hands, her palms, and her knees which are small scars, while the entire along her collarbone, slanting cut across her entire stomach, and along the outside of both thighs seem like bigger scars, but they’re not. They are instead different mouths with sharklike teeth and crimson red tongues. That she keeps closed unless extremely hungry. Alice also has yellowish blonde hair that is a messy pixie cut, with an eye patch covering her right eye. She always has deep monolid-shaped eyes that are a vivid orange color. She has a sheer clothing aesthetic as while as a leather aesthetic, wearing many shades of orange, black, and white with gold. Accompanied by the small horns of a deer, a shade of white, and the tail of a deer.

PERSONIFICATION OF THE 4TH CIRCLE–GREED—

COMMANDER ERIC/EDWARD IV AVARITIA

── THAT OF THE DEVIL'S LUNGS

✶ Personality: Eric is the quietest of the siblings, rarely speaking unless directly spoken to. He is a loner and prefers to be alone. He is also one of the only siblings who dislikes the hierarchy of siblings, and rarely spends his time commanding his circle, opting to be away, spending his time exploring the other parts and various layers of Hell and the unique punishments.

✶ Appearance: Eric stands at [6’5FT ~ 200CM] with pale skin. With the rest of his features hidden beneath a black cloth that hides his eyes. His black cloth also replicates bandages that covered various parts of his arms and legs. He has shoulder-length curly black hair that he keeps in a ponytail.

PERSONIFICATION OF THE 5TH CIRCLE—WRATH—

COMMANDER LOUIS V IRA

── THAT OF THE DEVILS EYES

✶ Personality: Louis is a confident, arrogant, egotistical, smart man. Who revels in his circle enjoys using his influence on lower-ranked demons and enjoys spending time with higher-ranked demons. He also throws extravagant parties and chooses to spend most of his time with the Devil, who is the embodiment/avatar of Wrath. Louis tends to his duties well, despite his nasty temper.

✶ Appearance: He stands at [5’7FT ~ 175CM] with limestone-covered skin round bright blue and red heterochromic eyes and short blonde hair that fades into red that cut like a jellyfish.

PERSONIFICATION OF THE 6TH CIRCLE—HERESY—

COMMANDER GABRIEL VI MENDAX

── THAT OF THE DEVILS TONGUE

✶ Personality: Gabriel is someone who speaks only of rumors and half-truths. Many don't trust a word he says, and you must force the truth out of it. He gets a lot of humor leading people astray with his words. Even though he is quite knowledgeable and level-headed. He prefers to use his wisdom in more trickster ways, unless threatened, he quickly breaks. Outside of his lies, he is quite kind and fair, yet due to his tongue, no one believes his kindness.

✶ Appearance: He stands at [5’9FT ~ 180CM] with bronze-colored skin and long straight dark brown hair that he keeps in a thick braid, decorated with purple snapdragons, lavender, and vines. Gabriel has a soft flowy cottagecore aesthetic wearing colors of white and purple. While upon his back he has two large gray feathered wings that he keeps tucked away.

PERSONIFICATION OF THE 7TH CIRCLE—VIOLENCE—

COMMANDER DAMEION VII VIOLENTI

──THAT OF THE DEVILS FLESH

✶ Personality: Dameion is laid back, mischievous, charismatic, and cocky. Since he has one of the most popular circles, he garters high respect despite being the seventh. He has overbearing pride and follows the hierarchy of the circles. Still, you will not find Dameion without a cocky smile and relaxed posture no matter where he is. Which leads him to having and being loved by many. Everyone practically swoons when he walks into the room or speaks. This doubles when amongst full-blooded bloodhounds, due to him being able to have a body, unlike them.

✶ Appearance: He stands at [5’9FT ~ 180CM] with honey-colored skin with black armband tattoos upon his wrists and ankles. He has short, shaggy black hair and deep red eyes. With a formal aesthetic, always wearing suits or a more military-type aesthetic. He has two long black tails of a wolf and wolf ears that hide amongst his hair with two red horns of a bison.

── ⋅ ⋅ ✶ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ⋅ ⋅ ✶ ⋅ ⋅ ──

PERSONIFICATION OF THE 8TH CIRCLE—FRAUD—

COMMANDER LUCY OR LUCIUS VIII FICTUS

──THAT OF THE DEVILS EARS

✶ Personality: They are an untrusted liar, fake, fraud. Dawning on various masks and looking to deceive whoever they need to deceive. Taking upon titles, achievements, and anything to further their lie, and when it all backfires, they run away and never get caught. Due to this, they are never in hell, nor in their circle, in fact, it's hard to get in touch with them. They also spend a lot of time within the different underworlds and heavens, trying to gain something from the divine. Only to be sent back to Hell without punishment. They are tricksters and unreliable, with no real redeeming qualities.

✶ Appearance: They stand at [5’8FT ~ 178CM] with thick curly gray hair with white faded ends. Their hair is short to their chin and left alone. They have hooded gray eyes and short-bison-like horns with gray bat wings that fade into black with a long rat-like tail. They have varying styles but settle on clothing far more revealing. Wearing pinks and whites.

── ⋅ ⋅ ✶ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ⋅ ⋅ ✶ ⋅ ⋅ ──

PERSONIFICATION OF THE 9TH CIRCLE—TREACHERY—

COMMANDER TRENT IX PRODITIO

──THAT OF THE DEVILS HEART

✶ Personality: Trent is a sweet talking and kind person. Always understand and be sympathetic. He’s easy-going and easily trusting. He’s a very honest person and falls into his roles, whilst being obedient and submissive. Not wanting to break rules without important reason. He’s a big man with an honest and open heart and tries to live past his title.

✶ Appearance: He stands at [7’5FT ~ 230 CM] with tan scarred skin and freckles. He has large heterochromic eyes, his right olive and the left mustard yellow.

Trent wears many colors yet sticks to neutral tones and dark green.

So uh, tucks hair behind my ear, I just read your farmworld Finn pda headcanons and I was wondering if maybe you'd be at all interested in elaborating on that part you wrote about dancing with him? The vibes are immaculate on that and I just adore your writing!

Absolutely! I just added that as a last little bit on a whim but I’m glad you liked it! I’m really proud of this one, hope you enjoy!

Also, I decided to name FW Huntress Wizard “Tressa”, since vampireworld HW is called Huntress and I don’t want the two to get mixed up

TW: Reader is referred to with the term “Mom”, but no gendered pronouns are used

Farmworld Finn x Reader

Slowdancing Together

• A few years ago, while he and Jay had been scavenging the wasteland for valuables, Jay came across a strange device and didn’t know what it was, so he asked his dad to come take a look.

• Finn recognized it as a record player, explaining that they had one in his old family home before it got destroyed, and that it’s used to play music.

• Growing even more interested in the contraption, Jay begged him not to sell it and instead take it home, and after enough pleading he finally said yes.

• The two brought it back and placed it on the kitchen table, the other kids gathering around in awe as they had never seen anything like it before.

• Tressa thought that it wasn’t very useful, but was nonetheless happy to see the kids so excited.

• After trading Choose Bruce for a box of old records, there were a few nights where they would put one on and Tressa and the kids would dance along to the music. They tried to get Finn to join them, but he refused to budge from his seat on the couch, seeing such a pass time as too silly for him.

• It wasn’t until Tressa took his hands and pulled him along with her that he finally got up, shuffling around awkwardly while she took the lead and she showed him the steps. Finally, a small smile graced his features as he looked at his family with joy.

• But it was soon after that his wife died, and thus the record player was shoved in a storage box and forgotten, as it was only one more reminder of what he had lost.

• Fast forward to after you two get together, you’re doing some spring cleaning and sorting through boxes in the attic when you stumble across the old record player.

• You wipe the dust off the top, surprised that the pragmatic Finn would even have something like this.

• After finishing in the attic, you take it downstairs and put it in the living room, asking Finn where it came from.

• He scoffs, saying that Jay had found it a long time ago and they barely ever used it. He promptly tells you to just throw it away, saying, “It’s just a piece of junk, no use in keeping it.”

• You frown at his words, it must have been important to him if he decided to keep it all these years. So instead you decide to set up a little surprise.

• That night, after tucking the kids into bed, Finn comes down the stairs only to be met with the sound of a soft piano melody crackling through the air.

• He enters the room to see that you’ve put on your nicest outfit, styling your hair in a way that frames your features, making you somehow look even more beautiful.

• He asks what you’re doing, and you reply that you wanted to spend a little one-on-one time with him, as a thank you for working so hard to support everyone. He stays frozen in place, unsure of what to do for the first time in a while.

• He can’t help keeping his eyes on you as you approach him, taking his hands in yours, and he involuntarily flinches away from your touch.

• You immediately look concerned, saying that you don’t have to if he isn’t comfortable with it. Finn apologizes, reassuring you that’s it’s not your fault, it’s just…been a long time for him. He’s doesn’t know if he remembers the steps, and he’s afraid he might step on your toes if he tried, or worse.

• You smile at him, saying that it’s okay if he doesn’t remember. You can make up your own dance together.

• With that he nods, taking your hands once again and you lead him to the center of the room. He lets you guide his hands to rest on your hips, and you place yours on his shoulders.

• You stay like this for awhile, swaying back and forth to the music. Right now, it’s just you and him, together in your own little world.

• You lay your head on his chest, breathing in his natural scent as he holds you in his arms. Finn sighs and rests his head on top of yours, finally able to relax and just be.

• He knows that no matter what happens, you’ll always have each other, and that’s good enough for him.

Little bonus!

•While the two of you are wrapped up in each other’s embrace, Jay shushes his younger siblings as they all watch from the stairs, still in their PJs.

Bonnie perks up and asks, “Does this mean we’re getting a new mom?”

Jay smiles, looking at how happy his dad looks for the first time in years, and replies, “I sure hope so.”

My unpopular opinion is that in languages with grammatical gender like french, it does make sense for Murderbot to be referred to by whatever pronoun is usually used for robots or constructs. (In french, therefore, grammatical masculine.) Because there are no traditional « it » pronouns in these languages for objects, and while there are neo-pronouns, they are things one must choose for themselves. Do you honestly think MB actually spent time thinking about its pronouns?! No it didn’t. On forms it picks « non-applicable ». When people ask it what pronouns they should use, its honest opinion is « why do you even need to talk about me. Just don’t fucking do that. Don’t think about me either. Just fucking stop perceiving me altogether! »

Thinking about what pronouns to use probably makes it way more uncomfortable than letting people call it what they’ve already been calling it. Making a conscious choice about its identity? And telling other people about it??? No thanks bye, it’s just gonna walk into the ocean now, see you never.

Lbr it probably thinks the only bots that get fancy pronouns are comfort units, and the pronouns are probably shoved into them by humans same as everything else. MB would meet a bot using a neopronoun and it would wish it could barf. Because in a language like french, he/him and she/her, when applied to objects, ARE fulfilling the function of the english « it ». Nobody is saying the table is a woman or related to feminity in any way outside of stand-up comedy; when it comes to objects grammatical gender really has fuckall to do with human gender even if we use the same words. Even animal species names have grammatical gender and everyone gets that there are male and female turtles even if the word « turtle » is a female word, it’s not that confusing.

(I know this is strange when your language has different pronouns for people and for objects, but understand that english uses the same word to indicate if I’m addressing one or many people, and that is confusing to me.)

TL;DR; stop harassing international fans for not getting the correct MB pronoun in english right off the bat. Yes in english calling it « he » or « her » or « them » is upsetting because it’s projecting an identity unto it. But same goes for trying to get a foreign language translation to use a pronoun intended to express or showcase an identity (or even a lack of one!). Murderbot has not thought about it this hard, refuses to think about it this hard -> and that is its only canon accurate gender identity.

#the murderbot diaries #taking a bat to an hornet’s nest there but I said what I said #I go by she/her because that’s the default people use for me even tho my own gender identity is also #ugh I would sincerely prefer not to have to deal with this think about it or even be perceived #and I would be hella pissed if a book of my life came out and people got into fights about my pronouns #trying to assign me the most politically accurate agender pronoun possible #when my own choice has always been specifically to let people call me the default because idc #and I don’t want to be identified by any identifier that might indicate I do care #and using a different pronoun even if its a gender neutral one is a CHOICE!#it does indicate a preference! and caring about it enough to pick a word and tell people about it!!!#Murderbot didn’t pick IT that is specifically the point!#it was used for it and MB just kept going with that #I mean imagine it if wrote down a different pronoun on its ID form one day and someone actually called it that #it would set itself on fire #its discomfort at having made a personal choice and the personal choice being respected would be off the charts #maybe it a later book after hella character development but I just don’t see it happening tbh #respect the agenders who just don’t want to get involved and use the pronoun equivalent of the default avatar that came with the account #PLEASE #that is all

any details about our protag group (boneslav too!) that you don't mind sharing?

Nero is so into sparring. His tumble with Dousa might've looked like he didn't know what he's doing, but in his old herd he beat Hovus and Biro's asses easily and was thirsting for more challenging opponents, but in the marshes there was not much to choose from. His dad refused to spar with him seriously because he was afraid it'd make Nero more uncontrollable but in all honesty, Nero would have needed that bonding with Dorus.

While kind, Runi was the one who got in trouble as a fawn. She kept straying off to small adventures to the point the lead doe, Vanja, gave her a very stern talking-to. Runi is nice. She wants to be good, so she stopped. At least in the physical sense.

Kasko's greatest fear is being abandoned. While he trusts Nero and Runi now - and has a great poker face - in moments of stress or conflict he's swallowed by great worry: "okay, okay this was it, I'm gone, they're gonna leave me." It's a process. He had the same worry with Riptail and Cutlass, but they've had time to show they're friends even if they meet rarely.

Boneslav's best friend is this brown blob you can see in the background of multiple pages:

They have no set name or gender, but if I remember right they're called Spinerov in some of my ooold old notes. They ate a snake once.

Usma grows her fur out when it gets cold! She has some northerner in her, and while you can't see it in the comic due to my mercy towards myself, she sheds like crazy in warmer climates. Like a samoyed. (yes she's protag too, kinda)

Unpopular Opinion: Yes, a woman can be radfem and have a male partner.

(premise 1) The radfem community should try to recruit as many women as possible to the movement. It is crucial in the fight for women’s rights that women in large numbers see the light and refuse to back down.

(premise 2) Some women, nay the majority of women, are straight or bisexual.

(premise 3) Sexual orientation is innate and immutable. Straight women are born straight and cannot become gay. Bi women are born bi and cannot become gay or straight. Further, not everyone, radfem or no, has the desire or ability to remain celibate and single, to live their lives without romantic and sexual love.

(premise 4) Straight women and many bi women, told that they cannot date men and be radfem, will tend to turn away from the movement. They will see it as too difficult to give up romantic and sexual relationships with men for the movement. They will fall back on liberal feminism even if they don’t agree with it, as the only option.

(conclusion) Promoting the idea that radical feminists cannot sleep with, date, or marry men only drives women away from the radfem movement, and therefore that idea should not be promoted in radfem spaces. Rather, radical feminism should provide straight women with the resources to avoid, as far as possible, being a slave to misogyny- even with a male partner.

Caveats and clarifications:

- The goal of any radical feminist who chooses to date men should be to have zero tolerance for misogyny or lack of respect for women in her male partner. She should refuse to tolerate misogynistic actions, including but not limited to the following: Watching pornography, making sexist comments towards her or any woman, refusing to prioritize her pleasure during sex, violating physical/sexual consent, shaming her period, refusing to acknowledge the struggles of women, or trying to control her dress and appearance such as makeup, shaving, etc. Dating men as a feminist is about thoroughly vetting and refusing to take less than total respect.

- Men cannot be feminists. Radical feminism is for women only. It is by women, for women, and about women first. Men can, however, be “feminist allies” in the sense that they uphold feminist principles, but they must not speak over women and must be willing to be educated by women.

- From a personal perspective I fully admit to being a radfem bisexual woman dating a man. A straight man at that. I know I know. I’m not going to sit here and say “hE’s dIfFeReNt” - my partner, despite passing all my tests, checking the boxes, and showing every sign of being a feminist ally, is still a man. Men are always just…men and he’s not a magical exception. Nor do I aim to praise him for the bare minimum. But I chose to date him because I wanted to, and I am happy in my relationship. I don’t feel any conflict between my radfem beliefs and my relationship.

- Bisexual women should not be forced to “choose to be lesbian” for the movement. That’s biphobic, full stop. Their attraction to men as well as to women should be acknowledged and supported. And judging bi women for dating men is the same as judging straight women for dating men.

- Female separatism is still important. At its core separatism means “prioritize women in your life” , not “cut off every single male in your life”. In a relationship with a man, a woman can still: Build mostly female friendships, only go to female doctors and medical practitioners, try to build working relationships with mostly female bosses/supervisors/coworkers/professors/classmates, consume media by women, support female-owned businesses, etc.

- There is no middle ground between traditional gender roles and radical feminism. A radfem in a het relationship should aim to break gender roles. Holding a job and keeping separate bank accounts, not taking her husband’s last name, refusing to take the bulk of responsibility for household/childcare, etc.

[meet the prisoners!] prisoner 001: miyagawa akio

oh god we're really doing this.

so yeah, remember when i said that i actually have milgram ocs? i'll start posting them now!

here's our first prisoner! his design looks a bit boring, i know, but i think it fits him well! sorry for making him look like mikoto's long lost brother i wanted him to have that "basic anime protag" vibe, if you know what i mean. though his personality is not like that at all, haha. also i'm sorry if the symbols on his prisoner uniform look weird, i'm still trying to figure out how to make them look good and i can't see them that well even though i use references 😔

also, some notes: this story happens before the events of canon milgram project + novel (yes, i know the plot of the novel but i'm not sure where to read it in english, i'm sorry!), so es isn't the guard yet. this time milgram prison has not one, but TWO guards and both of them are polar opposites of each other. one of them wants to vote everyone innocent and believes that they're actually good people, but the other one thinks all prisoners should be voted guilty and all of them deserve to die for their sins.

this time the prisoners are much less sympathetic than the canon ones because if the canon prisoners are kind of "morally gray".. well, maybe these guys' cute designs will be enough to make people vote them innocent :') i will write their mv descriptions, voice dramas and interrogations as well, though honestly, i feel like i actually could try writing songs for them because i like composing and writing lyrics.. but i'm too lazy for that right now djsjsksk.

also almost forgot to mention, don't take their mv descriptions too seriously (or do take them seriously. i'm not your mom), like, for example, if i mention a character being treated badly by someone in the mv, it doesn't necessarily mean that this thing actually happened. it doesn't mean that my characters are able to lie through their mvs, it's more about how they personally saw their crimes. and considering that a lot of my ocs are very dramatic and they believe that they've done nothing wrong.. yeah, trusting their every word is not a good idea.

and if you guys find my ocs interesting, maybe i'll actually do polls where you can vote them innocent or guilty! and if not, that's okay, i already have canon verdicts for them in mind, so :'D it would be fun to see people choosing something completely different from what i expected though

anyway, you can read this boy's profile under the cut!

General info:

Name: Miyagawa Akio (宮川昭雄) (kanjis in his last name stand for "temple, shrine, palace" and "river" and kanjis in his first name mean "bright" and "hero")

Age: 16 y/o

Gender: Male

Status: Prisoner 001

Birthday: September 4 (Virgo)

Height: 166 cm

Blood type: A

Image Color: #D5C7E5

Occupation: High school student (first year)

Personality: Akio is a very prideful and arrogant boy who has an extremely high self-esteem. He believes he's innocent and refuses to admit that he really did something bad. Whenever his crime is mentioned, he claims that it wasn't his fault and his victim deserved it anyway. However, he's actually very smart and it's easy for him to fool people and make them believe that he really is a good guy. He claims that he was the best student in his class and he's been getting perfect grades since elementary school. He says that he never had any rivals because he was so perfect, however, it doesn't look like he had any friends either. He also doesn't believe that Milgram is an actual prison and thinks that it's all just for show and even if it's real, he's sure that he will never get executed or anything like that.

MV info:

Which canon Milgram song he would cover: It's Not My Fault

Which DECO*27 song he would cover: Reversible Campaign (i wish i could say that i have a deep reason for giving him this song, but.. i don't have one actually! i just like this song a lot and it's very special to me because if i'm not wrong, it's the first deco*27 song i ever listened to (or at least i have many good memories associated with it) so i thought that it would be a good idea to give it to the first prisoner!)

If he could cover a song by a different Vocaloid producer, which one would it be: Abnormality Dancin' Girl by Guchiry (i do have a reason this time, but i think you'll be able to figure it out yourself :))

His MV description: His MV would have this royal theme/aesthetic, similar to Muu's INMF MV with its whole queen bee thing, however, his video would still feel and look completely different. His MV would mostly have dark/dull colors.. until one specific scene.

His video starts with a crowd of people sitting in a room that looks like some kind of a concert hall and even though it looks beautiful and detailed, it's mostly gray and black. All people look like black silhouettes and don't have any defining features, however, judging from their poses, you can tell that they feel awkward or even anxious. And then, suddenly, Akio appears on the stage while dressed like a king. Even though he's supposed to look unique compared to the silhouettes, his colors are still just as dull as the room's. He smiles and starts singing and while he does so, he appears not just as a king, but as other important figures, for example, a movie star, a popular singer, a president and even a god. The lyrics mention Akio being the only person here who's actually interesting, unique, skilled and talented. The silhouettes follow him around all the time and you can actually see them having bright green eyes, but they show them only when Akio does something cool, for example, defeats an enemy, executes a criminal, etc. Everything goes well until Akio notices that the colors of the MV start becoming brighter and he sees that the silhouettes are not really interested in him anymore and they're following a very bright figure that looks like it's literally made out of light. He starts getting more and more nervous as he sees his loyal followers leaving him. There's a shot of him standing with a glass case full of all kinds of prizes and trophies in the background and the glass suddenly breaks right when he sees that figure again. The glass hurts Akio in the process and one of the silhouettes notices it and decides to check if he's okay. Akio sees that this silhouette's eyes are different and they're not green, but pink instead. He smiles and the MV ends with the "more popular student" being executed by Akio, who got his crown back and right when Akio looks at the pink-eyed silhouette and nods, the colors turn dark again and the lights go off.

His Trailer 1 Voicelines:

"My name is Miyagawa Akio. You two.. You two are not much older than me, right? So why the hell do you even have a right to judge us for our crimes? Honestly, I'm the one who deserves this right more than anyone else here."

"He really doesn't know his place, does he? So annoying.. Hey, can you help me out with something? Come on, I know you like me."

Trivia.

He sees himself as innocent and hopes to get a verdict like that as well.

He didn't commit any other crimes except murder and he claims that he had only one victim.

He's secretly embarrassed of his height and wants to grow taller.

He's very proud of being popular with both guys and girls from his school.

He's not really close with any prisoners except Prisoner 009, who's only one year older than him and was quite a popular student as well. Prisoner 002 wants to become friends with him too, but he keeps ignoring her and finds her annoying.

You can think of him as Haruka's "foil" or simply his opposite because of them both being the first prisoners, but having completely different personalities. Haruka constantly apologizes, believes that he brings misfortune to other people and he's not the smartest guy here, meanwhile Akio really was the best student in his class, he never apologizes and takes his words back and he believes that he's better than everyone else. They're also almost the same age, though Akio is one year younger than Haruka.

Even though Akio and Muu's videos (we're talking about the second one) have a similar theme, they feel very different. No matter how much Muu claims that everything is not her fault, she still appears as a monster in her MV and she constantly says how pitiable she is (i am NOT going with the official eng translation) and even if she's a "bad girl", she still asks to forgive her. Akio doesn't feel like that at all and he really does believe that he's innocent and he also doesn't see himself as a monster or any other scary creature, HE LITERALLY SEES HIMSELF AS A GOD. He never asks to forgive him because he thinks that people will do it even if he doesn't ask.

His crime is pretty easy to solve compared to the other prisoners. I wanted to make it more complicated at first, but then I thought that it makes sense for a first prisoner to have a crime that's not as mysterious or difficult to solve as other characters' murders.

#feel free to smash that guilty button if i do a poll for him <3 #or smash that innocent button if you want to encourage his god complex ig #i love him a lot though. he's a very fun character #milgram #milgram oc #also i don't think my usual oc tag fits here SOOO i'm going to tag my milgram oc posts as “linagram” now SHJSSJSK #linagram

AWUDHCUDHSH A NICKNAME?!?!?! FOR ME?!?!?!?!?!? confused excited flapping

OHHHH i totally get what you mean about getting so many choices of what to do that it always seems entertaining. there are so many more options for new players than when i started!!! (late 2020)

i respect your opinion on scaramouche so much. he truly did commit all of those atrocities, and it is totally fair to dislike him for them. and, yet, i love him so dearly. i was one of those fans that obsessed over his personality back when we only had one limited-time-event cutscene of him. i also really enjoy how his character has developed over time!!! his new design is such a treat for the eyes.

what’s your favourite nation, if you had to choose?

i love them all so much, but my fondest favourites have to be liyue, then dragonspine, then mondstadt. they’re so nostalgic for me!! i especially adore the Warmth that permeates liyue’s colour palette, especially during the sunset hour. that said, the game’s design quality has improved so much with each nation. sumeru & fontaine are so full of life and detail, it’s wonderful to see!!!

which protagonist did you choose?? i chose aether because i wanted desperately to absorb his gender into my psyche (and i DID!!!), but i *adore* lumine and the minute differences between their expressions & characterization when each protagonist is given different reactions to the same situation, such as in . the four star friendship quests? i forgot the name for them.

faruzan is such an underrated character. i love her so much.

have you played anything in ekanomiya yet??

who’s your favourite archon? i don’t think i could choose aidhdjdh, i love them all in different ways

have a good day!!!

I give everyone nicknames! I refuse to just let someone have their name as my sign off for them unless they’ve asked me to.

Ah, yeah, I only started right before school last summer… late July/early August, I think?

Ha, fair enough!/gen Couple of my moots like him too, which is fine by me.

Oh gosh, idk! I love Mondstadt, feels like home every time I go back, but also. Sumeru. Like. Come on. But also I reeeeaaallllyyt wanna go back to Inazuma and work on it soon, so. Idk 😅😂

The character hangouts! I chose Lumine, but as time as gone on I almost wish I could play as Aether too? Not because I dislike Lumine, but because I can see the personality differences and I’m curious. Also because I ABSOLUTELY HC LUMINE AS THE OLDER ONE AND LISTEN. Listen. If she was the Abyss traveler and I’d chosen Aether I’d feel that as an older sister myself. Which. Saying out loud I can’t get words to work the way I want them to for this but. Ya know?

Nope! Haven’t played there yet, I did just finish Sumeru though. Gotta do the ascension quest. And yes that’s partially because I wanna do Kaveh’s Hangout sooooooo baaadddlllllyyyyyyyy…. And Thoma’s if I can.

Hmm.

Venti with Nahida as a close second, and Zhongli close to that. Can’t say about Furina, I’ve gotten almost zero Fontaine spoilers and I’m keeping it at that, and I’m kinda neutral on Raiden? Although at some point I wanna write a fic with her and Aether having feels together about losing their older sisters.

#asks and answers #playfor!!!

what's something you like that no one else in the system likes?

OMG thank you for sending this !!!! baby's first tumblr ask /posi

how do new alters choose their names?

if they aren't an introject, usually a name kinda eventually "fades into view" so to speak. sometimes we search around on name websites if they can't really think of anything! we haven't really had many alters that don't pick a name or refuse to share it.

which alter has the weirdest name?

Galaxaura/Melainassa, or Maellyx.

does your system have ageless alters?

yes! a handful of alters are ageless: Connor, Maellyx, and Noctis.

who is the oldest alter? how old are they?

i guess disregarding the ageless alters, our oldest is Lillia! She's around 1400 human years old.

does your system have alters who age slide or age regress?

yup! i age regress, and we have a few alters who age slide as well. Beau, Yuri, and Zach mostly.

does your system's littles want to be treated like children or adults?

-this depends on the little themself! Lili and Hazel want to be treated as their age, but Beau wants to be treated a little more maturely.

do all alters have similar sexualities?

nooo XD we have a wide variety of orientations in our system!

does your system have more male, female, or nonbinary alters?

hmm well at first I would've said we had more male alters, but we also now have a sizeable number of female alters. a lot of us are non-binary as well. It's a good mix.

do any alters use xenogenders or neopronouns?

oh yes, lots of us.

which alter has the most gender?

i'm not exactly sure what this question is asking but if it's asking who identifies as the most amount of genders, probably me or Max! :P We love our xenogenders

Melainassa is an oceanid, Machi is a dullahan, and Lillia is a fawn centaur. so probably one of them :]

Yes! Lucifer has wings, but they aren't often out. Puck likes to be depicted with xer fairy wings, but fae don't have them physically in the headspace.

does your system have any animal alters?

Not that we are aware of. We have some partially animal alters? like dogboy (me), werewolf (Tristan), Inuyasha (half dog-demon), Lillia (fae fawn centaur), and one who wants to remain anonymous but is a snake demon.

what is the weirdest part about being a nonhuman alter?

ooh.. probably the phantom feelings of my ears and tail? and for those who are completely nonhuman, they say the limitations of human body we're in and for some not being able to speak their language.

is the majority of your system human or nonhuman?

majority human, but we do have many non-human alters!

do you have multiple alters from one source?

surprisingly, we don't!

are most of your system's introjects connected to their source? disconnected from their source?

most of them are connected to source :]

what is the weirdest source that an introject in your system has?

that would be me haha! I'm a non-canon introject of a really old VOCALOID fan series called SHION.

are any of your system's introjects in relationships with other introjects?

yesss :3 Yuri is qpps with Sayori, Max is partners with a Sapnap, I'm partners with a Karly, Wilbur, and Revlatt!

do any of your system's introjects have non-canon source memories?

yup. Me, Beau, Bobby, Inuyasha, Reaper, Puck, and Yuri.

what is the funniest piece of system drama?

One time Zach changed Lucifer's pfp to a meme image of him and we all forgot because Luci went a few months without talking, and we all lost our shit jhsdfgjhg

do you enjoy being part of a system?

yeah, for the most part!! they help me deal with things better than I could by myself <:]

what's something you like that no one else in the system likes?

Mor, The Spore Druid

NAME: Mor Sporespeaker

AGE: 25! I might be a mother, but I'm still young I'll have you know!

RACE: Orc!

HEIGHT: Oh, I'm 6 feet tall! Thanks to all those fancy bard acrobatics, my twin grew much taller than my mother or I.

GENDER/SEX: She/Her.

CLASS: I commune with the spores of this world, like my grandmother before me! Oh, uh, I guess you city folk call it Druid of the Circle of Spores? (Level 14)

STATS:

STR 10 (+0) INT 10 (+0)

DEX 12 (+1) WIS 20 (+5)

CON 16 (+3) CHA 14 (+2)

BACKSTORY:

Mor was born near a Church shortly after her mother had disbanded her orcish warband, having chosen to give birth to her twin daughters in the safety of human civilization, not on the road with her fellow orcs. Unlike her non-identical twin sister Chant, Mor did not care for the civilization their mother had worked so hard to bring them to, instead choosing to spend most of her time with her grandmother in the dark and dank groves of nearby forests, away from the city, learning to commune with the spores and eventually becoming a druid, something her mother had refused to do.

After years of learning with her grandmother, Mor said a heartfelt goodbye to her family alongside her soon-to-be traveling bard sister, as she searched for a grove to call her own. But, due to having lived in the city, Mor had some concept of civilization, which had made her an odd Druid. Yes, she communed with nature, but she also knew the importance of wealth in this world. So she set up a clandestine operation, creating hallucinogens masked as beer with her spores and selling it to some shady travelers, all under the disguise of a Tavern in the Woods.

And, since reaching sexual maturity, I would immediately make myself an even weirder druid by indulging in RAMPANT amounts of sex! I was pregnant nearly constantly because I just can't get enough dick!~ Call me a slut all you like, I don't care! I'm a whore with 10 kids and a drug-peddling business, and I love it!~ So if you're interested in one of my brews to take the edge off, come visit the Tavern in the Woods you might get lucky~

Hi there, can you write something fluffy with bel?

HII GUESS WHAT I'M BACK ... yes >:)

♡ “Either/Or” Belphegor/Reader* fluff₊⁎⁺˳✧༚

*gender neutral, ‘they’ pronouns; 3rd person count: 802 words Warnings? my attempt at fluff, some swear words ehe, maybe a lil far-fetched for Bel and way too domestic bc we all know this guy is just straight up abnormal (lovingly). btw this is TYL Bel. I write only for of-age characters xx

༚✧⁺˳₊˚‿︵‿︵‿୨୧ · ˳ · ♡ · ˳ · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿˚₊˳⁺✧༚

“Hey.. hey, Bel—”

[name] was rubbing the sleep out of their tired eyes, their quiet voice escaping them in a feeble croak.

“Hmmmmm..?”

“If you had to choose between me or Mink…” they began, fingers stroking down the fluffy body of the mustelid nestled between the two of them. The animal chittered softly in their slumber and rolled over slightly, their fuzzy tail flopping in sleepy satisfaction.

The blonde shifted to face [name], the same ol’ lazy grin plastered on his pale face. The two had spent most of the day napping, draped over each other, as usual. This time with the special guest: visone tempesta. Mink seemed to have taken a liking to [name] in particular lately.

[name] had one of Bel’s shirts on. The striped red and black one, that was well outdated at this point… the thin material was worn down from wear and washing for nearly ten years now. Belphegor’s hands slid across his significant other’s back, gently tugging at the soft fabric as he mused. He tilted his head, long fringe falling out of place and pale lashes sweeping over his cheekbones as he closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

They waited patiently, and [name]’s eyes drifted towards Bel’s slightly pursed lips. The man was really mulling over that question, huh… The thought of kissing him flashes in their mind.

He clicks his tongue and looks right at them, catching them off guard. Their eyes shifted nervously as they realized how silly of a question that may have been. Was he judging them?

“What do you want to hear, älskling*?” He smiles wider, capturing [name]’s gaze, his eyes narrowing like a cat. It was just like him to answer questions with more questions. He leaned closer, nose almost brushing against theirs. The glint of mischief in his eyes.

He was met with silence. [Name]’s turn to think. With each passing second, they felt their cheeks heat up, and their thoughts were going a mile a minute… but they were also thinking nothing at all. They blanked. [name] was unconsciously leaning back to create more distance between them. The closeness was too much. Burning with embarrassment, they squeezed their eyes shut to avoid his piercing gaze.

“I- I uh… I don’t know, I just thought I’d mess with you by asking somethin’ stupi—OH!”

“Ah ah ah,” he tutted, grinning as widely as ever. He had rolled over them, putting his full weight on [name] under him. “You’re not escaping now~” He teased as [name] squirmed in refusal.

“Youuu asked in hopes of me picking you over Mink, right?”

Somehow, the weasel was still sleeping soundly through this. (Some mustelids do sleep like the dead, tbh.)

“UHHHH noOo-!”

“Why would you even try to lie to my face?” He could barely stifle the giggle that escaped him. Just as he grabbed them by the wrists, [name] kicked him off of them, and the two rolled onto their sides, limbs in a tangle.

“Shishishi~ What did you think I’d saaaay, my dear [name],” He pressed, rolling with them atop the plush sheets.

“You’re the-oh! Geez, Belphegor, you’re-HAHAh, the worst!” [name] was doing their best to keep it together as they were fighting for their life here wrestling their professional assassin boyfriend. The playfulness in his voice set their mind at ease, but Bel was relentless.

“Do you see me putting Mink in my shirts?”

“I-I don’t know-AH, maaaybe? I feel like you would-BAH—”

He stops, once again straddling [name].

“Would you pick between Mink and I…?” His smile dropped.

Under his mussed up hair, his gaze met [name]’s, stone faced. They looked up at him. Even after all this time, they would find themselves awestruck by their gorgeous prince, half-hidden eyes and all. [name] spent a full beat in silence, nearly forgetting the question had the handsome man above them not clicked his tongue again to snap them out of it.

“Wellllll… Mink wouldn’t toy with my feelings like th—” they stopped themselves mid thought. Mink would totally mess with people like this, especially [name] because they had a soft spot for him and would cave to his acting all sad and hungry to beg for treats (lmao).

He couldn’t take it, his poker face was gone instantly, and he threw his head back in laughter.

“Kära du*, [name]... only you would be stupid enough to say shit like this,” he pressed their arms up over their head, smiling right above his dear [name]’s face. "Asking such questions..." he mused, gaze unfaltering. What they didn’t see in his eyes was the adoration deep in his catlike stare. He pecked their lips, softly. Much softer than usual. As much as he hated admitting to it, teasing [name] itched his brain warmed his heart.

fin.

*I love HCing that Bel is from a Scandinavian country lmao, in this case these are Swedish terms of endearment bc I personally love using them BUT I think he’d actually speak Icelandic tbh aaaanyway— he said darling & my dear :)

YALL. What he meant when he said that ..they were stupid enough to ask something like that... what he's THINKING... is to never doubt him again, if that's what their silly brain is doing. He's nuts (literally) about his y/n. I SPENT WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THIS BUT ITS BC ANON GAVE LITERALLY 0 DETAILS AND I HAD NOTHIGN TO JUMP OFF FROM but I love him I love Belphegor so much so I had to.. Hope ya enjoyed lolol I'm also trying new stuff with formatting so I hope. I hope things aren't wack af. All my love, xoxo Jyun.

Take Me To Texas

(Part one)

Fandom: 911: Lone Star

Pairings: Past TK Strand X Alex

Words: 2089

Description: How TK found himself and his father.

Warning: talk of triggering topics, overdose, implied prostitution, implied sexual assault, domestic abuse, implied domestic abuse, implied homelessness

Author’s note: So this is the first story I’ve written/published in months, I’ve had terrible writer block paired with a mixture of no motivation and executive distinction, so I really hope you enjoy! That’s again to @buggylad for editing.

——

TK guessed it started when he was a kid. Playing around the house with his trucks and firefighters. Refusing to wear dresses, only 'boys' clothes.

They were all obvious signs, if not that maybe running around the house at full speed insisting his new name was Tyler. Anything else was too 'girly'.

He always has been and always will be, Tyler Kennedy (He didn't choose the middle name but what could he do, he was stuck with it) Strand. And boy, he made sure everyone knew.

TK was grateful enough to have grown up in New York City. A place where he could be himself with less... backlash. There were always gender neutral bathrooms and single stall change rooms.

It had been rough, being gay and trans, even in a place like New York. Bigots are bigot regardless of where you live.

But with the support of both his parents and a firehouse full of people (willing to do anything to protect him) TK was able to transition safely.

TK has spent every day since his unofficial name change as Tyler and he loved every damn second of being him. Well, maybe that was a bit of a broad statement. Life, like always, has its ups and downs, he's just happy he gets to go through them as Tyler.

Just before puberty he started hormone blockers, as a teen he took hormones and as soon as he was eighteen TK got top surgery. His parents had helped pay for it as a birthday gift.

It was a saving grace, being able to get the treatment he needed, but it wasn't all sunshine and roses. His doctor had prescribed him an opioid for the pain and unfortunately TK had gotten addicted.

Because he was out of the house, living alone, no one saw the signs and because he was in school, his parents had just assumed that he had been overly focused in his work, forgetting to reach out.

What his parents didn't know was that their only son was spirally. Something that people don't realize is that the more you use drugs, any drugs, the more you get accustomed to that dose, and soon enough you need a higher and higher dosage to get the same effects.

It's because of that, that TK eventually turned to heroine. He'd always hated t-shots as a kid but because he needed it so often he became very good with needles. It's not like he was sharing them, he always got clean ones. Either from the store or the shelter and he was as safe as he could've been given the circumstances.

It all went by so fast, his past life slipping away before his eyes. He got in too deep, ran out of money and had to find different ways to pay for what he needed.

Though in the end it hadn't mattered how safe he'd been, he overdosed. Though it was this final hit to rock bottom that brought TK, at that point, to the most difficult part of his adult life, pregnancy.

"That's impossible, I've been taking T since I was a kid, I was on hormone blockers!"

"It's unlikely yes, but not impossible. Tyler, TK, you are pregnant. I have some information here that you can look at and when you're ready to talk we can discuss your options. Wether that be keeping your baby or, possibly, having an abortion."

Tyler had been more than terrified, how could he make a decision this important alone? He couldn't go to Alex, surely not his parents and by now he'd lost all his friends. He was not ready to be a parent, that he knew.

After weeks of deliberation TK decided he would keep his baby and hopefully adopt her out to family who could take care of her. But when she had opened her eyes for the very first time, staring up at him with wonder and adoration, he knew he couldn't let her go.

He didn't know it then, but keeping Charlie had been the best decision of his life and since then he's never looked back.

——

"Hey, Greene?," TK asked casually, glancing up from the floor. Broom griped tightly in his hands. "Do you know anything about new positions in other districts?"

"Thinking of moving you and little miss mazel?" The other replied in a playful tone.

Eric had turned away from the fire engine, rag still held tightly in hand, glancing up at TK. Greene had a jovial smile so bright that TK could already feel the corners of his lips twitching up.

"Oh, I don't know.. Just thinking that maybe a change might be good." His eyes darting nervously between his senior and the stations floor.

Green seemed to ponder for a moment before turning back to him.

"Well you got dual certified right? Last I heard there was an ambo opening in Austin." Tyler's eyes widened, that far away.

"Texas?"

"Yeah. You interested?"

Thought started to flash by, he knew it'd be all well and good until the neighbourhood found out he wasn't at all like the white, cishet, Christian he appeared to be. What would a bunch of conservative Texans do to a trans, gay Jewish man, who'd given birth to a baby girl?

"In Texas? I don't know man, probably not." He replied sullenly.

"I'll keep your hat in the ring just in case."

——

A pounding interrupted the peaceful silence of both TK and Charlie's apartment. The door chain rattled as someone roughly hit the hard wood, over and over.

"Let me in TK!" Alex's voice screamed out.

A chill went up his spine, like ice water being thrown down his back. TK stood up straighter and made his way over to the entrance of his home.

"Let me in!" Alex yelled out again, voice carrying through the entire apartment.

Thank god Charlie was still in bed, that kid slept like a rock. As soon as her head hit the pillow she was out, o she'd slept through an entire thunderstorm. It was incredibly hard to wake her once she was down, which TK was very thankful for right now.

"Leave Alex! I have to take Charlie to school." He yelled back at man behind the door.

TK realized his mistake as soon as he spoke, the other man quickly yelling back through the door.

"I can help with that baby! C'mon!" If TK didn't know better, Alex could have almost sounded sincere.

But he wasn't an idiot, he knew what this was really about. He also knew that as soon as his 'sorry' phase was done Alex would go right back to how things were before.

"If you don't leave now I'm calling the cops for violating your restraining order! Go now!" Fear swam through TK's stomach, internally begging for Alex to just leave.

"Fine! I'll be back!" Alex had never truly cared about him, he knew that now. After what happened how could he not.

TK was in pain, he hadn't realized it until now, but he was hurting. This was going to be the death of him if he didn't change and he couldn't leave his baby girl all alone. It had hurt more that coming down from drugs the first time and all the times after that too.

It was just a slap to the face, but it wasn't just a slap. Certainly he'd sustained worse injuries, but this had been the last straw. Alex had hit him before, belittled him, neglected him, forced him to do unsavoury things, things that left a bad taste in his mouth.

But he'd never done it in front of Charlie before, never. TK had heard he scream, seen the tears roll down her eyes and watched as Alex stormed out the apartment in a rage. So no, it wasn't just a slap in the face, it was a revelation.

So that's how they ended up here, all their belongings quickly packed up into TK's car driving to his dads house. They hadn't see each other in way too long, but right now he needed his dad.

Charlie had stirred awake as TK pulled into the driveway of his childhood home. TK unclasoed his seatbelt as the little girl rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"Daddy, we d'er 'et?" She asked in a soft, tired voice.

"Not yet sweetie, I'm gonna go check to see if everything is ready and if it is I'll come get you. You just go back to sleep okay?"

"M'kay."

Things had sort of worked out in the end, even though Alex finding their new apartment was more than a setback in both he and Charlie's lives.

"Charlie? Charlie barley, Charlie barley bee? Where's my bumble bee?" TK called out.

He wandered through their apartment halls, peaking around corners, trying to find his little baby. Rounding a final corner he came face to face with his baby girl, a blanket draped around her shoulders covering her head slightly.

TK scooped her up into his arms and spun her around, only stopping to gently tickle her tummy.

"There you are!" He cried out in mock outrage and surprise.

"Ahhhh!" Charlie yelled in a mess of playful, glee filled screams.

TK fell backwards onto the couch the young girl held softly, yet firmly in his arms. She leaned back into her dads chest hands making a grabbing motion, trying to play with his hair.

"Bababa! I caught-ed you! I did you've been catch-ed-id!"

He smiled into the little girl's hair, she squirmed in his hold, joyfully kicking her feet. Charlie threw herself backwards into his arms over and over, causing TK to let out whatever was left in his lungs as she swung about.

"Daddy!" She cried out again.

TK chuckled at her antics, pressing his cheek to hers, faces side by side, holding her tiny little hands in his much larger ones.

"What do I win for catching you bubba?" He asked jokingly, rocking her side to side.

Her feet swung back and forth, eventually she became too wiggly to hold in his arms and she began to push away again.

"Daddy!"

"Charlie!" TK called back in the same tone.

Charlie slid off his lap and grabbed the tv remote off of the coffee table. She slowly threw herself back onto the couch, trying to get back up. TK chuckled to himself, she was too small to just sit down so she had to use one leg on top of the couch to pull herself up.

When her mission was finally accomplished, Charlie pressed the hunk of plastic into her dad's chest and sat down next to him. She pushed her face into his side playfully.

"Wanna watch the TV with me Charlie bee?"

Her response what immediate, head shooting yo from where her forehead had been resting on his shirt.

"Ews!" She yelled out excitedly, arms flapping up and down beside her.

"The news? What is with you kid, I've never met another two year old who likes the news." TK asked, a playful smile on his face.

"Ewws! Ews!" She cried out again at the seemingly arborant lack of outdated musak and weather reports.

"Okay, okay, I'll put on the news." As soon as the tv was turned on Charlie jumped up from her sitting position on the couch cushion and threw herself back into TK's lap.

An older grey haired man came into frame.

"Uncle Bob!"

"Yeah! Uncle bob? Since when is he your uncle?"

"F'ever." She mumbled out, eyes glued to the television in front of her.

"Since forever? I don't know about that."

"Mmmhmm." She replied forcefully.

"Okay then."

The noise of the tv filled the apartment Charlie enthralled with local news stories and TK enamoured by his little girls reactions to what was being said.

Suddenly, a new segment cut through his daze and seemed to finally bring Tyler's attention back up to the screen.

"And now a story all the way from Austin, Texas. A fire crew lead by New York's own Owen Strand a former NYFD fire captain and now..." the sound drowned out, he barely heard anything after the name.

Owen Strand, His dad.

"Hey baby, how would you feel about moving to Texas?"

Thanks again for reading, let me know if you want/what you want to see in chapter two!

(Authors note: I know not all nonbinary people use they/them pronouns, it is portrayed that way here for convenience and this version of the character eventually does.) 3/24/24: edit for better grammar.

By the time the three of them first start dating after Troy gets back from his trip around the world, he’s come to terms with his own bisexuality.

Abed is Abed, and his masculinity only makes him more enticing to Troy. He couldn’t imagine it any other way; his lean yet muscular body, the way his face moves subtly, so only those who work hard enough will understand it (those who deserve to, in Troy’s opinion), his patience and eagerness to teach/include Troy in his favorite things, his strong bravery to be himself.

With Annie, he doesn’t need to prove his attraction to her to himself as much. She happens to be a woman, and his attraction to women has never been seriously questioned. So he lets himself fall in love with her.

Her undying determination to succeed in her career path, the bubbly excitement, soft skin framed by even softer hair, how quick she is to confront any obstacle in her way, her warmth at every moment of togetherness that they have. While he was aware he was falling in love with Abed while he lived in 303, the realization of his love for Annie slaps him in the face out at sea.

He’s overjoyed when he learns about polyamory from a polycule he meets drinking in London. He doesn’t have to choose. What’s harder is convincing himself to ask his hopeful boyfriend and hopeful girlfriend.

But they say yes! Annie is reluctant at first, scared that they’ll want more than she can give. She doesn’t know how to open up, and doesn’t know if she would even want to. They shouldn’t have to deal with all her messiness, right? Slowly but surely, Troy and Abed get her to trust them with the parts of herself that she’s hidden away, some even from herself.

During this time, Troy starts to think more about his sexuality. Why is it that the only woman he feels really attracted to is Annie? But questioning if he actually likes women feels like disrespecting his wonderful girlfriend and her womanhood, so he doesn’t ask more questions. He loves Annie, and Annie is a woman. End of story.

Abed asks him of course. Troy and Annie and some of their friends are getting ready for a pride parade (Abed doesn’t like the noise and crowds), and Abed sees Troy’s hesitance at the pink, purple and blue paint. He tells him his worries, and Abed tells him that some bi people have gender preferences. More often attracted to one gender over another. It’s relieving. But still feels a little wrong. Annie is like the singular exception to the rule, not the rule itself. He continues to ignore the feeling- he would do anything for her. This doesn’t seem like anything to big, and he definitely doesn’t want to hurt her.

Annie has never completely understood why she’s supposed to like pink, quiet smiling, and princesses. That’s not to say she doesn’t, no, no, she does. She just doesn’t understand why she’s supposed to.

Before she was born, her parents thought they were going to have a baby boy, so they painted the nursery blue and put little car decals on the walls. Annie doesn’t understand this either. They painted it over with pink, but only did one coat.

It came out purple.

Four year old Anne Edison wants to be a knight when she plays pretend. She likes to play floor hockey with her socks. She wants to spell and say her name with an ‘i’. She loves ducks. She refuses to not wear a skirt or dress. She draws hearts on everything she can.

Her parents only like some of these things.

They want her to get into the best preschool in the city. They say that a good life starts with a good education, and a good education starts with getting into a good pre-school. She studies until she just knows her brain will break, but she still doesn’t get in. She gets into their second choice, but they still consider it a failure.

They throw out her knight costume that night, of course. She hides under their bed as they scream at one another, and vows to herself in the dark that she will do her best to be a good daughter. They hadn’t had a fight in months, she’d been the one to tear them apart again! She has to keep being good, and if that means trying harder and giving all the blue things to the baby coming in a few months, she can do that.

She can be pink if that’s what they need.

She stays pink because that’s what everybody likes. But she aches to let herself be purple, or even yellow. She’s older now, more relistic. She doesn’t have the luxury her four year old self did. She knows to make friends in college, she should be strictly pink or blue. She had partially rebeled for a few months, wearing only black and grey, shunning both pink and blue. But she’s been told she needs friends to stay clean and alive, so she makes herself a bright pink. She knows there isn’t a place for anything other than pink and blue, so she stays the same, as much as it hurts.

A few years pass, and she prides herself in how the pink has allowed her to have a family. They love her. Pink works. Then… she meets someone who is openly yellow. Non-binary, they call it.

If Annie was alone in the world like after rehab again, maybe she would let herself be ‘them’. It feels so, so right when they let themself be ‘them’. But it’s ‘her’ who is loved by Troy and Abed and all their friends, so she stuffs the ‘they’ back under the bed with her four-year-old self, the tiny Annie shrieking in joy when they finally see it.

Confusingly, Troy and Abed care and want to know about tiny Annie. They want the messy parts. They want her to stop hiding her legs under the metaphorical bed, and come fully out. She doesn’t believe them at first. They don’t push (or pull?), but they do let her know it’s safe. Slowly, she crawls out, and when the time is right, she sits them on top of the bed and asks if it would be alright if it was ‘they’ instead of ‘she’.

Troy and Abed let their partner know it’s completely okay, great even, and Troy finally understands why Annie was the exception.

(it’s because they weren’t.)

just read your last anon and I’m usually just a silent reader, and tbh as someone who believe Jikook are a think I disagree with you a lot, but anyways I like reading your blog you seem very down to earth and I like that and I get your frustration. it’s not the first time that I see similar messages and i know I’ll get bashed for saying this but I don’t even believe half of the ppl out there pretending they’re queer (what does that even mean at this point) are anyway. I’ve been in shipping spaces for a long time, I share this "hobby" with a friend of mine and so many "cishets" as they say use the queer umbrella as a shield because we know damn well rps mlm shipping has been thrown upon (sometimes for good reasons, and often times due to misogyny, but that’s just my opinion ). I know some ppl are gonna get mad at this and call me names, not sure why I even send this but as a "cishet" (I usually refuse to use the word cis but that’s another can of worms I won’t open here) I’m seriously done with this mindset. i’m free to make assumptions and ship whoever I want or deny any ship I want to deny like anyone else and being part of the lgbt community is not a requirement to ship, what’s with people acting like the thought police here… ha sorry I needed to vent I guess, that post made me mad

Yes, it's fine to disagree with me! A lot of people who are following me don't agree with everything I have to say, if any at all. The only reason why I know this is that I've seen some familiar names interact with bloggers I 100% would not get along with, but that's really none of my business. I'm not here to change minds.

I think those followers tend to be curious about what I have to say about some aspect of Jikook. Sometimes it'll make them think; most of the time they think I'm full of shit. I have my own critiques of hardcore shippers/supporters, so I fully expect that my existence throws a wrench in all of that and incites aggression in others. All I do is talk about how I feel. Anyone who chooses to interact with me are doing so of their own volition and are responsible for their own actions.

I don’t even believe half of the ppl out there pretending they’re queer (what does that even mean at this point) are anyway. So this POV is a bit of a slippery slope. If we cast doubt on everyone and everything because a fraction of one's community is encouraging those feelings, it doesn't help anyone. Personally, I haven't "met" general ARMYs or shippers who have pretended to be queer, but I've read about this happening. I think the real culprit is the anonymity of the Internet and what kind of behaviors that's enabled over the years, but that's another can of worms I don't want to get into.

To be fair, I understand queer shippers who are tentative about shipping occurring amongst cishets, which is valid, but the way some of them go about protecting what they consider an exclusively LGBTQ+ activity can be extremist and nonsensical, in my opinion.

(Part of me also suspects that this overly passionate dedication amounts to how important fandom is to a person. I prioritize and cherish my real life more than I ever could about fandom, but fandom is also a much needed escape for others, so I can see how that might play a part in people's motivations and how they might go about protecting their safe space.)

Male, female, non-binary, gay, straight, bi, asexual, whatever your sexual or gender identity–don't be an asshole and don't be an idiot, that's all I'm saying. If you're cishet and shipping two males/two females, just be mindful about how you're going about it is all. Shipping because you genuinely care about the individuals involved and believe in who they are as human beings vs. fetishizing them (unintentionally or otherwise) can get a little blurry. (Fetishization is not the only issue that occurs in this cishet vs. lgbtq+ in fandom discourse, but it's the most common and most talked about.)

In my opinion, attraction isn't so discerning; sometimes people just gravitate to whomever they like. If cishets can recognize that attraction is just a feeling that can occur among and across different genders and sexualities, I don't see how this is a bad thing at all.

* Sorry, I talk about "cishets" like I'm othering them, and I don't really care much for that attitude, but for distinction purposes, it is what it is.

More about Via

For most of Via’s life, she was never referred to by her actual name when introduced to people. She was always “the granddaughter of Don Claudio and Doña Wilhelmina Sotto,” whose names inspire fear or awe—depending on who is hearing or saying them. Those who know the names know how much influence they sway in the Philippines, particularly in the southern islands of the country, but their influence does not stop there. The Sottos of New York have always been tied to opulence, famously known as art collectors and real estate magnates in one of the most expensive places to live in. Via’s mother took care to keep the tradition alive, hosting some of the most historic gatherings in the Hamptons. But of course, anyone in New York knows these traditions are not just about fun and festivities. Hidden behind caviars and canapés is the parental instinct to pave the way for the next generation to hold the mantel when it’s their turn. Even back in Via’s school days, classmates were clearly told by parents wanting to keep a good connection with the Sottos to be mindful of her wishes.

When one is born with influence, it becomes almost as natural as breathing--even when Via is not aware of it or choosing to actively exert it. Despite the air of influence, Via remained grounded--as far as grounding can go for someone who enjoys her fair share of everyday excesses. Unfortunately for the elder Sottos, the heir and heiress of the family fortune both refused to fall in line for the scripted life, the gilded cage. Via is known to spend her time anywhere but in the usual hangouts of the rich and famous, which is why she ended up in Santa Felicita, a paradise to its residents but it’s no Saint-Tropez. She is also here for another reason: Her older brother, who disappeared mysteriously two years ago, has been spotted here, or at least that’s the private investigator told Via.

Important

despite coming from old money and a very influential family, via does not like to concern herself with complicated social connections and often finds it burdensome to keep up appearances.

however, this does not mean she does not use it to her advantage from time to time. she is a socialite, after all.

no one who’s actually friends with via calls her olivia. anyone who name-drops her using her full name is clearly using her for clout--or at least that’s what she assumes. only her family calls her olivia.

The Spice Cabinet: Some Details

Alright let's start this blog off with some basic information about what this is and why is came to be, and then maybe some random tidbits if I feel like it.

Why were the spices made? Well originally I started making the spices because I was involved with a Murder Drones DnD thing, it never got off the ground really but I was prepared for a brutal campaign so I made a few drones in case of fatalities, originally just Sage, Mint, and Garlic. Even when it was clear it wasn't going to happen I kept making more drones, I had ideas and wanted to expand them, and that evolved to what we have now.

Why Spices? Well when coming up with names I originally settled on Sage, but meant it more in the wise old figure sense, however I realized as a spice it fit well, so that was the angle I went with. When designing Mint I figured "I don't want to be a boring Serial Designation M she needs a name" and I thought about the flavor of mint and how it fit the character, and it evolved from there.

Why so many drones this can't be easy to write/design? I am a creative person, I make characters for no other reason than to be background bodies in stories, and for once the characters I made are actually interesting and unique so I kept going, new ideas led to new spices.

How do you handle the spices in relation to Canon and things like the Solver? Simple, the Spices fall into an AU where I choose to ignore the solvers existence because it hurts my brain to try and write around it, so the company is still around, it is better explored in the Spice Cabinet chapter on Mint, which lays down a bit of groundwork on how I work with the concepts of different generations of disassembly drones and different human colonies.

Why did you make a Tumblr for this? Twitter is a cesspit and I wanted somewhere to show off these goobs, I put a lot of time, thought, and money into these spices so I want to show them off, beyond what servers I am in.

Do you roleplay with your spices? Abso-freaking-lutely, I didn't design all these drones just to toss them into a story or two and get art of them for the hell of it, people like these idiots and I love them (some more than others) and they all have unique personalities so I cover a broad spectrum with these guys.

Why does some of your art/stories have more explicit/naughty implications and designs? Because I am not a prude and honestly people are gonna be weird about the drones so I might as well get ahead of the curve and be weird with them. I encourage people to get creative with these idiots, I know I am not going to stick my nose up at the more mature topics and art, you see what people do with Canon characters, my spices get off easy in that department.

That covers the basics on the how and why, now for some fun tidbits:

Sage is Forklift certified at birth is a running joke due to his height, also when I made him he wasn't gendered so I just said "Sage is Sage" and that also became a joke.

Mint's nanite repair system produces to many extra nanites they overflow into her mouth giving her nanite saliva capable of repairing damage, many people have tried to take advantage of this fact through very stupid means.

Garlic got the cracks on his screen from his own IED, he covered it in pickaxes and accidentally set it off himself, he refuses to get the damage repaired because it is "a glorious battle scar"

Nutmeg worked in Cabin Fever Labs as an assistant on a project separate from the Absolute Solver, their ID card has a picture of them smiling and holding a hermit crab in their hands.

Cinnamon will hum the Jaws theme while hunting, he also believes in only hitting his quotas to then slack off, he will get exactly as many kills as he is required, and not a single more. He also likes to ice fish for workers, he uses a wrench as bait, and yes it works more than you'd think.

Rosemary learned all she knows about Tusken Raiders pre-core collapse, and she was trying to adapt to that way of life even before it happened, she got lucky with the world ending given how close she was to being decommissioned for biting a technician.

Onion is very hands on, and when he first meets a new drone (not for food purposes) he will try to feel every possible texture on them, this leads to him rubbing others jackets, arms, hair, and faces a lot. He is probably one of the most friendly of the disassembly drones under the Spice Cabinet.

Paprika is based on a Boa Constrictor because she still wraps things in her tail, and she will wrap it around warm objects, or drones, to heat up her internal systems, she can effectively stop an overheating Disassembly Drone or solver user from suffering by leeching their heat away, it is a temporary solution that lets her have a very squirmy living space heater. She also goes into a food coma if she eats too much.
