You.
Tumblr media
You're only a stranger, and in your eyes it's reflected. Though ever since the sight of you lingered my nights became relentless - Spending my conscious to wonder the euphoria of being greeted by your laughter.
It's illogical - more than unnatural - For a writer to waste their ink for a stranger. Though every time I recall your voice, It's enough to deafen my mind from the aggregations noise.
Because regardless of my lack of knowledge - The question that is your solace - I stay curious despite the possible danger, And you're the subject that can quench my wonder.
So until the day I'm formally acquainted by your smile, your embrace that I'll long for standing by your side, I'll await continuously patient for your arrival - To finally fall further into your eyes.

🖊 Mishka
Thanks @dandylion240 ! Here's Mishka =)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mikhail Petrovich Vasiliev
He's known as Mishka to his family and close friends, but would consider it too familiar or even rude and presumptuous if an acquaintance or a stranger used the diminutive of his name. (It'd be far more presumptuous than calling a North American person named Michael by "Mike" or “Mikey" if you didn't know him well).
Mishka is the fourth of six children in his family. He and his biological sister Viktoriya (known as Vika to family and friends) are adopted, and their other four siblings are their parents' own biological children. They have an older sister and an older brother, and two younger brothers. Mishka is naturally closest to Vika, but of his adopted siblings, he's closest to his older brother Luka.
As far as Mishka is concerned, his adoptive parents have always been his real parents. He knows he's adopted, but he was only two when they adopted him and he doesn't remember his biological parents. All he knows about them is their names and that he and Vika were taken from them due to neglect, unsafe living conditions and excessive substance abuse.
Vika is almost exactly a year older than Mishka, but despite being extremely close in age, Vika always seemed much older and always wanted to protect and mother him. He hardly ever spoke for himself if Vika was nearby, as she usually seemed to know what he was thinking and what he wanted. He assumes this is the reason he grew up to be quiet and shy and somewhat socially awkward, but he holds no ill will toward his sister because of it.
Both Mishka and Vika are musically gifted. Mishka plays the piano and Vika plays the violin, and they can both sing. They both had vocal training growing up, and Mishka was a member of a prestigious youth choir for a number of years. Mishka is also very athletic and enjoys all kinds of sports, but his real sports-related passion was hockey. He and his brothers all played from a young age, and it was clear early on that Mishka had the talent to go far in the sport.
Mishka's first trip to Canada was for the World Junior Hockey Championships, the year he was seventeen. The Russian team didn't win the tournament, but Mishka was less concerned about that than with figuring out how to get back to Canada some day in the not-too-distant future.
It wasn't just because he wanted to play for a team in the best hockey league in the world, but because he wanted to live in a country where he was free to be himself. At some point in his mid-teens he realized he's bisexual, and openly being a member of the LGBT+ community in his country of origin was not safe. He was afraid to come out to anyone except Vika and Luka, and he made his sister and brother promise never to tell anybody. Eventually he did tell his parents as well, but only after he was living in North America.
When he was nineteen, he was drafted by a team in the United States. He spent several years playing there before being traded to a Canadian team, in a mid-seaon trade. He liked being the larger US city where he had a few other Russian-speaking teammates, and where their team management hired full time interpreters for players whose first language was not English and who struggled to communicate beyond what was necessary to function as part of the team or in basic daily situations. Unfortunately, Mishka didn't work particularly hard at learning English while he was there, mostly because he didn't really have to, and his inability to communicate came as a rude awakening when he came to his new team and realized he was expected to communicate for himself.
He'd only been in Canada a few days when he met Nikolai for the first time. He didn't even have a place to live at the time and was staying in a hotel. One thing about Mishka is that he has a poor sense of direction and gets lost easily, and this particular night he'd decided to go exploring after dinner. He couldn't find his way back to the hotel, and most of the businesses in the area where he was walking were closed. After failing to make himself understood in the first open establishment he tried (a convenience store), he wandered into the pub where Nikolai, his twin sister and their friends coincidentally happened to be celebrating Nikolai & Natalya’s birthday.
It was pure happenstance that Nikolai and his friend Hunter were up at the bar getting drinks when Mishka showed up. Nikolai's parents and paternal grandfather are immigrants, and although Nikolai himself was born in Canada, his family still speaks Russian at home. He instantly recognized Mishka as a Russian-speaker, and when he noticed how much difficultly he was having trying to explain his problem to the bartender, he decided to help.
Nikolai and Hunter invited Mishka to join Nikolai and Natalya’s little birthday party, and Mishka was able to have a good conversation with Nikolai and his sister. Afterwards, Nikolai took him back to his hotel.
They continued to see each other after that, as friends, but it soon became clear that they were headed for something that was far more than friendship. They were together as a couple for over four years the first time.
Now that Mishka has finally retired from his sport, he and Nikolai have reconnected. In the intervening time, Mishka worked hard to learn English, and is happily integrated into his community now. In the off-season, he's one of the accompanists for a summer youth music festival, and he volunteers with an animal companionship program at a local retirement home during the summer as well.
He's looking forward to being able to volunteer year-round now that he's no longer playing and travelling with the team. He's thinking about joining the community choir too, and maybe the local garden club.

📥 & 💭 & 🖊️ of course!! tell me everything!
hellooooooo meg my luv u absolute legend 🫶
📥 What is your fave fic to receive comments/messages on?
honestly any of them!! especially now that I haven't published anything in several months bc..............sometimes I forget that I'm A Writer? a person who Writes? and receiving a comment on one of my fics is like. OH!! I DID do that thing??? and u liked it??? wowza???
very behind on replies on ao3 but just know. if u ever leave a comment on my stuff. I'm rereading it 23793298392 times and pinning it on my psyche forever 💞💓💗💖
💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work?
the record skipping at the beginning of liminal spaces is this one by dusty springfield (originally owned by miss trudy sinclair ofc)!
🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.
here's a lil bit of the midnight mass fic that I've been writing for thousands upon thousands of years. v fond of this wip. have retooled it 723932989312 times. it's like 20k words. it'll be published someday lmao:
“There is a point…” He says, every word slow and carefully measured. “During a fast…where you rise over the gnaw of hunger in your belly and suddenly it's…clear. Your mind is unclouded. And…and you realize…you are capable of abstaining. Jesus has given you the strength to. It is a state of…perfect clarity. That is when you learn that it’s not cruelty. It’s a gift.” A cold feeling slithers its way through your chest, sinking into your stomach. The night feels darker somehow. Something is wrong. “You’re not familiar with those pangs, are you?” His breath trembles, hot and uncertain along the skin of your neck. “No, no. You…you keep yourself satiated, don’t you? You’re not left wanting. You devour.” “Father—” He shudders, giving a sharp shake of his head as if to dispel the sound of your voice. Abruptly, he pulls back, staggering away from you. “And she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher, and was coming back.” He steadies himself on the edge of the couch. Reaching up, he pinches on the bridge of his nose, shaking his head. “Genesis.” You set the glass down with a shaky thud in the sink, finally reaching to switch the faucet off. The rushing sound of water cuts off with a snap, plunging the room into heavy silence. “I should go.” You say.

🖊 + Jack Adams, please :)
Tumblr media
Ohhhhhh!!! Ya know I had to 🏃🏽‍♀️ !!!! and answer this
Gush? About Jack Adams? I thought you’d never ask!!!!
Well, let’s start with some facts about me making him. but first.. click for song will set the tone.
He’s my first ever real male OC.
He was never meant to be a love interest
Never meant to be Jayce Adams brother (old legacy gta5 rp character of my husbands) I threw it out as a joke weeks before the campaign started to make Mara’s life hell. He decided to do just that. I didn’t know til he was introduced naturally in the story.
I don’t actually remember what his first first name was.. and he was White.
Though Jack is my original character, I surrendered him to the DM.
I collabed with @cyberneutral to make Jack’s preset. (They make legendary male Vs imo) He has been edited along the way, but the Orignal is still very much present and I cannot be THANKFUL enough for them to bringing my dreamy Jack to life, exactly as i had pictured... I know what i had asked for was extremely difficult but they did it. *smooches picture of jack* I'm sure they are sick of me tagging them about it. I hope this will be the last... UNLESS🖤🖤🖤???
Jack Sergio Adams, is a 33 years old, grew up in a normal middle class household for the most part, except for the fact his best friend practically living with his family, who had accepted her as one of their own, a daughter they never had.
The story of Jack Adams in the canon story is a tragic one, I will only touch the canon story a little, but I will GUSH about him in the AU: Water on Mars (keep and eye out on the TAG!).
Jack, had followed Mara everywhere, they joined Med school together, joined trauma team together, killed the same man and subsequently fired together, saved from murder charges from Marco Guerrero and Jayce Adams standing on TTI and NCPD... you guessed it.. together. So, after months of grinding at Meatwagon, Jack gets the idea that they should set up a clinic in the Wellsprings, to give back to the community, to atone for their sins on trauma team. (not killing that guy tho, he deserved what he got.) The two worked their asses to the bone, taking every extra shift they could and coverage to make it happen. After 2 years since the Clinic opened its doors, the rhythm of life has started to slow down, and the time started to look right, He just needed to find the words to say to Mars. He never got the chance, as when Mara started seeing this Rockerboy J I H Z Z Y, who he was convinced wasn't going to last long. WRONG. However Jack would never see how wrong he was, as he tragically was killed by Maxtac's C-SWAT team after hearing from Mara everything that had been going on her life. The Killswitch.... He asked her if things could go back to normal once the killswitch was removed, but when she admitted that she had agreed with his twin brother Jayce, that when the killswitch is removed, she is to report for duty at Maxtac, becoming a C-SWAT member. This caused Jack, who was at this point mostly cyberware from the city center attack, he couldn't handle that much put on him at once, which caused him to slip into cyberpsychosis. Murdered in front of Mara before she could tell him she loved him and was throwing everything away to keep him on this side of sanity, he met his tragic end. His song for this campaign: Here
Okay. I know thats more than I had promised about canon, but I promised there was A LOT MORE you need to know. But I wanna gush about AU Jack!!!
Much like the same in canon, except, Mara starts seeing this Space Corpo named Titus Atredies, 6'5, Body swapped. Jack, knew he stood no chance against that, but when things didn't work out and Mara broke things off, Jack knew he wasn't going to let this chance slip. He started working out again, dusting off his combat experience and joined the merc world, all without saying a word to Mara, he has to protect her. (Canon Jack makes the same decision much later and never tells Mara but by then Mara was so far ahead he couldn't catch up) One night, Mara and Jack had plans to head out to Tios (The unoffical name of the bar next to Mara's place. He is everyones uncle who frequents the bar, which, ya know my girl does... alcohoilc) when on Mara's run home, she called and said she had a gig to save some girls kidnapped. Though, a part of him was disappointed, however, he knew this was Mara's calling. She'd do whatever it took to keep another girl ending up like her childhood friend Jennifer Costa (You can read what happened here). However, Jack found it extremely odd, that later that night he didn't even get a zchat saying she was off the gig. Even stranger, she didn't show up for work, no one saw her for her run. She was.... Just gone? That doesn't make sense though. Mara would never just disappear without a word, something terrible had to have happened. Something terrible indeed... See, Mara had gotten off that gig, and on her way home, taking N-CART. Militech shoved her onto the track electrocuting her, causing her to pass out and her kiroshi's to pop. When she woke though, she was unable to see, and calling out for a nurse proved to be fruitless, because when she did get a response, it was from a Maelstrom booster informing her of her predicament. Luckily for her though, They had found a frequent flyer card for AV travel under the name of Titus Atredies, which meant they knew they had struck gold. They would be holding her for Ransom until Titus or someone named Jack Adams could pay for her release. After hours though, no one showed, which meant they needed to move locations to ensure that NCPD wouldn't be showing up. Loading her up in a van, they started to transport her from Santo to NID, where the boosters began to Jones for their next high. Mara, had been sending out pings to Jago, as he lived in Kabuki and she knew they were taking her to Totentanz and then to All foods factory in their pursuit of Black Lace.
When at All foods plant, the driver had come back and still no Jago.. Mara convinced no one was going to save her, she'd rather have a bullet to the back of her skull than to find out whatever plans these sick fucks had in mind, prepared to run, as they didn't think to strap her down. Suddenly theres two taps on the driverside glass, and before the Maelstromers would even say anything, there was shot after shot into the driver and passenger, which cause Mara to scream from being startled and begging for help. When suddenly, she hears Jack's voice call out to her.... He'd saved her. Though, Jack did have trouble getting started at a Merc, his first group being slaughtered on their first gig together, doesn't look good on a Medtech merc that can't keep his team alive, so he was dropped by his fixer. When Mara decides, why not. Night Raid is about to disband no gigs coming in from them and all the ones she's been doing has one she's fixed for herself. So why not add Jack to the team? She'd watched him stand toe to toe with someone with Mantis blades and still on this side of the earth. He was far more capable than Mara had anticipated, as he had started making his own toxins and drugs to use during combat. Which, He did decide to make a cologne on one, just anyone down wind of him would become frightful and have mild hallucinations.
pictured: Tios bar
Tumblr media
Okay... You asked me to GUSH ABOUT HIM. So I have... but thats only the tip of the Iceberg. Jack is finding his own and more confident everyday, I know it seems like He revolves around Mara but CONSIDER THIS! He lived in the shadow of his fraternal twin, Jayce, and constantly having to keep an eye out on the road ahead, because as long as Mara is behind the wheel, they are doomed for some kinda mess.
I honestly never thought that Mara and Jack would EVER get together like never ever. The fear of losing the closest thing shes ever had to a family is a risk she wasn't willing to make until... Well a bit of wine, a homecooked meal made by jack, and the dice saying its happening. It was almost like all they had to do was just get that tension out of the air for them to see that they were meant to be. Now if only Jago would stay out of the picture...
I will understand if you never ask me anything ever again.... but please ask me more xD

Due to your recent post:
🖊+ Lacrimosa Ambrose (what a woman <3)
P.S.: Have a nice day! :3
SDFGHJKLJHGFDFGHJKKJH I love you I love you I love you and you ALSO have a nice day!!! <333
HOOOOOOOO BOY I'M GONNA DUMP A L O T OF STUFF :D I'M GONNA GET LENGTHY BUT HHHHHHHH PLEASE BARE WITH ME
DISCLAIMER: Lackadaisy belongs to @lackadaisycats and it is a beautiful animation and web comic, I HIGHLY recommend.
Below The Surface is my 2023 Lackadaisy fic. It will be linked below <3
Lacrimosa Ambrose - The Siren:
FIRST IDEAS:
At first, I wanted to make a villain for Lackadaisy. I was doing this purely for the sake of my Murder Mystery fic Below the Surface (posted here and currently being worked on here!) and I wanted someone who was a REALLY big threat. And so, I created a new mafia-like group: The Rose Brigade. But who would be the leader? I wanted a powerful---and also a plus sized woman in official art I'm making!---who is no-nonsense and irredeemable.
I wanted to originally make her a Bombay cat, but as I looked through more cat options, I decided to settle on a Chartreux cat! They're so pretty!!! Below is an image I wanted to reference, yet alter at the same time.
Tumblr media
Her voice claim is very much Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil. She has that badass, sultry tone to her that makes me fold over for this queen that can very much kill me.
She was originally going to be redeemed, but I decided "hell no she deserves a whole villain arc that DOESN'T give her a chance to turn good" and I am very much happy with that outcome.
I didn't know WHAT she would be job-wise? I originally wanted to make her an actor, though when I designed and wrote for Silas Tueuse (another Lacka-OC whom I love dearly), I wanted to mix things up, and wanted diversity. So Miss Jazz-Singing-Sensation was born! Her color palette and drawing her dress KILLED ME.
Choosing her name wise, I wanted to allude to Tracy's work, and allude to a villain. So when I was scrolling through the website, I noticed the Lacrimosa poem, and BOOM. Her name was chosen. Last name means 'immortal' in Greek, plus it's a play on the dish ambrosia. :)
FACTS/HEADCANONS:
She owns a jazz lounge, and is a famous jazz singer! The name is TBD, but she gets a LOT of traction there.
While she was from Boston, Massachusetts, she is Latin! She often refers to people as mei deliciae (translated to my darling), and one of her favorite foods is ceviche! It consists of either shrimp or fish, as well as lime, lemon, onion, chili pepper, and cilantro! From my understanding of it, you can dip chips into it and eat it like that. Sometimes you can even avocado in it, if that's your fancy! Below is a photo example.
Tumblr media
She is a horrible driver. Horrible. Picture Cruella De Vil but drunk. Sooo yeah, 100x worse.
She has a daughter, but she's distant from her, and she rarely---if never---checks in on her.
She is incredibly narcissistic, but does NOT have Narcissistic Personality Disorder: she does have empathy, though it's hard to tell if she's being genuine or not.
Prefers suits over dresses, but will wear dresses for performances to keep up her professional image. For casual meetings, she wears a dark indigo and dark blue suit with a fedora and a rose pin on her jacket lapel. The outfit accentuates her curves nicely, and I will draw her more in a suit in the future <3
She has a Colt M1911 Revolver that her husband gifted her before he passed. She uses it constantly.
ROLE/PURPOSE/OTHER STUFF!:
She's the main antagonist, and she is the leader of the Rose Brigade. She tries to hide behind a sweet, motherly facade, but she is emotionally and physically abusive to certain people. She is also a bit overconfident in certain abilities.
She had ties with Atlas May, though so far I have yet to confirm or deny if she killed him. So with her relation to Atlas, she slithered her way into trying to manipulate Mordecai, seemingly present as a mother figure towards him while in St. Louis. Ivy gushes over Lacrimosa's singing skills and performances, so her meeting her in person, she's just all giggly. Nonetheless, Lacrimosa is a softie for praise, and can't help but feel slightly more appreciated.
Lacrimosa might be manipulative and a full blown awful person, but she has been taught common courtesy. She knows to be respectful, she believes everyone is equal, and will not discriminate against those who are in the LGBTQ community. However, this does NOT excuse her awful behavior. She is MEANT to be an awful person.
She will ALSO absolutely break anyone who tries to tamper with her. She CAN and WILL call you out on your bullshit.
Her song (if it were 2023) would be Medusa by Kaia Jette!
HHHHHH THIS WAS SO MUCH???? AND THAT'S NOT EVEN IT????? FGHJKHGFDXFGHJ I might add on later

gogogog! lay ur lore on me
ok so none of my ocs were specified (can't blame you i do not have all of them listed lmao) so i'll tell you how three of them are all related despite all currently being in different universes!
Basically, all of them are siblings originally born on earth. The eldest, who came to transition to be Gun, ended up being a black sheep sort of kid because he was meant to be a twin, but absorbed said twin, so his mother always treated him like he killed his sibling before ever being born. Because he'd figured out pretty early on that mom would never forgive him anyways, he never bothered being present with his family and zoned out or ran off, resulting in him being sent off to military school pretty early on.
the middle sibling, Alia, and youngest, Annalise, were born one after the other a few years after Gun, and were too young to have many memories of him. Alia ended up being a stand-in parent for Annalise because of how often their mother works, so they had a really close bond.
So basically, Alia had extremely potent magical abilities that another universe, the Spiral, were looking for to basically keep it from meeting it's doom and as soon as she was old enough to survive the teleportation trip across universes, they yoinked her.
But Annalise, direly in need of Alia who was essentially her mother instead of her actual mother, was definitely not ready for teleporting across universes. Which sucked for her, because upon seeing Magic Shit™ happening to Alia, she hugged on tight to her and promptly got dragged a little under halfway through the trip before being entirely eviscerated and dying.
However, being a stubborn little shit, her soul refused to die and managed to take whatever it had to make do with in wherever the hell its stuck now and reconstructed a body out of aether, and then shortly after crashed on the moon with no memories of anything except her name being Annalise.
Also, Gun happened to be home from school when this happened, so he also caught the blame. el oh el. el em ayy oh
So basically, Gun's still on earth, trying to figure out what REALLY happened to his sisters, Alia's been yoinked to an entirely new universe at the ripe age of 7 to solve all it's problems and become its savior, and Annalise is a newborn baby again on the fucking moon of Eorzea with no recollection of her previous life!

🖊 lucy beacuse you loveeeee gingers
you're so right I do love gingers
OKAY I already talk about Lucy a lot so let's see what I can pull out of my ass crack today
Let's start from the beginning??? I guess??
SO originally Lucy was going to be this super mysterious character, mostly because I didn't have any ideas for him at the time. He was going to just go by "boss" and he had melty fractured wings and a halo to represent how badly he missed heaven. wowwwww so cool and edgy bett. anyway. Ended up decided that all fallen angels lost their halos and angels never had wings so that was all scrapped, and for a hot minute I just had this pathetic little guy. I've always seen interpretations of Satan as either super suave, attractive guys or big strong meanie pants or the occasional goat gremlin thing, so I thought having literal Satan as a sad little man wouod be funny. That part is still true, but he's not *literal Satan* anymore since "Dawn" isn't bible-compliant, Lucy was/is just the leader of the fallen angels.
About that "was/is," I feel like I never stressed enough how none of the demons really respect Lucy anymore. Like they don't outright dog on him really but everyone knows that he's a sopping wet cat of a demon. Everyones kinda just like "yeah our boss is a mess of tears and paperwork but like no one else wants to be boss so he can stay"
about his name! Lucy - he wanted to change his name after falling to separate himself from heaven but also to have a name that might cause fear among humans, so he looked to the names humans gave "him" (Satan) - he liked Lucifer, but didn't wanna just steal a name from humans because humans SUCK!!! so he shortened it to Lucy, not knowing that Lucy is a completely normal human name. No one's told him that Lucy is a completely normal name yet and no one plans to :)) he hates going to earth nowadays anyway so he probably won't find out
Currently, his job is making a MASSIVE PLAN for the ULTIMATE COLLAPSE OF HUMANITY!!!! very evil boom fireworks swords bkaw!!! Buuut since gene broke up with him in 1922 Lucy spends most of his time sleeping, crying, or generally being pretty sad. He still works on his PLAN!! because he has nothing else to do besides those previously mentioned activities, tho
I've mentioned this many a time before I think, but when Lucy was an angel (aka Abigail (that was his name when he was an angel)) he made underwater volcanoes, helped making clouds, and made a bunch of bigger, more vague stuff that was created before all the other angels were made. Abigail was the only angel for 100ish years as of typing this, so really not too long. In that time it was just him and Jod, Abigail kinda did whatever he wanted, making stuff and concepts and Jod being his buddy :D
Fun fact!! Y'know how Lucy has that split hair, one side ginger and really poofy and one side not? Well about that not side, I have no fuckign clue what is going on. Is it shaved? Maybe!! Is it dyed black? I dunno prolly??? I haven't thought about it!! I just color it in and give it vague texture!! Will I have to figure it out someday? Yeah but that's for laterrrrr
If he didn't hate humanity and refuse to partake in their ridiculous customs, Lucy would be drinking some form of energy drink 24/7. He doesnt sleep even without an energy drink and he's always on edge regardless but like it makes sense to me. He would chug a purple monster. this is important 2 me
his shoes give him 2 1/2 inches of extra height but he's still short as fukc
you may already know this but 536 AD was when Lucy was in his PRIME!! he ENJOYED going to earth because whenever he did he would just FUCK SHIT UP!! and made humanity sad n stuff!!! but then things started getting better for humans so it wasn't as fun anymore
Okay I've already talked a lot and will talk a lot in the future about this little idiot so that's all for now!!

🖊
It was a coffee with vanilla and five sugars day. Sebastian took a sip from his mug as he went through the morning newspapers--or rather, the gossip columns. So far it seemed the first half of Riven's plan was working, there were more 'stories' on the Warrior of Light than the political infighting that had broken out following the Forum's vote to rejoin the Eorzean Alliance. Robbing Sevestre of any and all platforms--plus perhaps rubbing all his losses in his face--
This crazy idea just might actually work. Sebastian swallowed another mouthful of coffee, folding the newspapers. Thancred was currently working on a way for the group to access Sevestre's office and home, and the more he thought about it, the more he began to suspect that Y'shtola was correct, this whole situation had its origins with Astrid. There had been something far bigger than Riven-then-Kari's existence at the time. And as Astrid and Sevestre-no, the entire Biblotech faction. were her political opponents...
"Seb?" The velvety voice made Sebastian freeze. Fear exploded in his stomach, turning his muscles into water. He knew that voice, had been avoiding everything that dealt with it, godsdamnit he'd fucking finally had put everything to do with it behind him--
"Sebastian?" Forcing his eyes upward and to keep a emotionless expression on his face, Sebastian took in the arrival at his table. His former lover and the reason why he'd had to leave home, start all over from scratch--Lacelle Glycen, was standing in front of him. And oh gods, he looked as beautiful as ever, blond hair perfectly braided back into a queue, not a single strand out of place, gray eyes peering down at Sebastian with a faint hint of superiority, with nary a wrinkle on his lab jacket and pants. A crystal drop hung from one pointed ear, catching the morning sun. Light pink lips curved into a slight smile that looked innocent, but Sebastian could see the cruelty that lingered below the surface.
"It is you! You look so..." Those gray eyes took in Sebastian's armor--the black chest plate was battered a bit but clean, the red duster had some wrinkles, the beaten up gunbelt. His brown hair was no longer short, it had been frilled and parted into layers at the front and shaved short in the back--his hands were no longer smooth but rough and callused from the hilt of his gunblade.
"Different."
"Lacelle." Sebastian got out. Gods he prayed he didn't look as upset as he felt, and now he was extremely hyperware that many eyes in the Last Stand were now fixed upon his table. Lacelle smiled again-a polite thing that didn't fully reach his eyes.
"Mind if I take a seat?" He said, not waiting for Sebastian to respond. Smoothly he slid out the chair facing the gunbreaker and sat down.
No, no, no, why didn't I say anything?! Sebastian wanted to speak, wanted to scream, but old fear and anxiety had turned his tongue to lead. All the memories were coming back--that two-moon period of hell when everything had just all gone so wrong. He'd lost his thesis, his friends, his dignity, his life--and all because of Lacelle. His ex lover had plagiarized his work, claimed it as his own--and when Sebastian had fought back...
"I was so surprised when I read about you in the papers." With effort, Sebastian forced himself to focus on the elezen's words. "I didn't think you'd throw your lot in with the savages, let alone their so-called Warrior of Light--"
"Augustine, Mathye, Reinhardt, and Riven." Lacelle blinked at the sudden interruption.
"Excuse me?"
"Those 'savages' are my friends. They have names." Now Sebastian could feel anger warring with the fear and anxiety. How dare, how dare--did this asshole think he could just stroll right on up and sit down and have a normal conversation after what had happened all those years ago? After what he'd done?! Sebastian swallowed, choking back the rage that was building inside him.
"You will address my friends by their names or not speak of them at all." Gods his voice sounded so calm, so composed. Wasn't it shaking? Couldn't the other man hear the tears?
I gave you my heart and you threw it away like the day's trash-- Lacelle chuckled, shaking his head.
"Dear Sebastian. Always so quick to defend others." He leaned forward--a slender hand reaching out to rest atop Sebastian's free one. The hyur jerked--and made to pull it away--but Lacelle's fingers tightened around his wrist.
"I'm so happy I found you. I wanted to talk."
"I don't." Sebastian ground out. "Let go of me."
"Sebastian." Was it his imagination, or was Lacelle's grip even tighter now?
"Let me go." Sebastian repeated, pulling a little harder. He didn't want to cause a scene, oh gods if he caused a scene Lacelle would eat it right up, it was the past repeating itself all over again--
"I said I wanted to talk." Lacelle countered, ice starting to creep into that velvet voice as his eyes narrowed. Then suddenly a pair of silver and metallic-sky-blue gauntlet hands slammed onto the elezen's shoulders, and squeezed. Sebastian could only watch as Lacelle gasped in sudden pain--his skin starting to pale as a cold sweat broke out. His grip loosened, and Sebastian pulled his wrist free.
"Now I admit I'm not completely familiar with the laws around here..." Reinhardt's voice was low, practically purring.
"But I seem to remember that the word 'No' is universal. And when somebody invokes it...". The dragoon bent over, leaning to the side as he continued to grip Lacelle's shoulders, letting the elezen get a good view of his face.
"It's generally good manners to honor it." Sebastian watched as Reinhardt smiled--no longer the basic soldier grunt, but a predator, fangs flashing and dragonfire-blue eyes shimmering.
"Sebastian, who's this?" Augustine slid into the chair on Sebastian's left, his voice friendly but not friendly, frosted steel underlying his tone. Mathye followed, taking the chair on the hyur's right.
"Looks like a problem to me." The medic commented aloud. "I hope you didn't harm one of my more repeat patients, I tend to get violent if something happens when we're not fighting to keep people safe and other do-gooder activities."
"Seb?" From behind him, a pair of slender arms wrapped around Sebastian's shoulders and squeezed--offering both comfort and reassurance. Sebastian swallowed--now unable to speak by the sheer physical presence of love and support he was feeling. Riven tilted her head, taking in the scene with a innocent expression on her face.
"Ohh." She said, her voice syrupy sweet--and suddenly louder.
"You're Sebastian's asshole of an ex boyfriend! The one who stole his work, got him fired and gaslit him out of his home!"
"Riven!" Sebastian hissed. Forgot the warm fuzzy feelings, he now was sensing danger. Lacelle was now possibly a dead man.
"Weren't we supposed to have a discussion with him?" Augustine asked innocently.
"We were." Mathye agreed, his own smile suddenly now...toothy as his violet eyes gleamed. He rose from his chair.
"Ser Sauveterre. Let me assist you." He offered gallently as Reinhardt moved to grip Lacelle by his right arm.
"Why thank you, Ser Bishop." Reinhardt answered gleefully. Lacelle squeaked as Mathye grabbed his left arm, and the two men hauled the elezen bodily to his feet.
"Mathye! Reinhardt!"
"Relax, it'll just be a talk." Augustine pushed himself to his feet, rolling his shoulders. Riven gave Sebastian another squeeze-hug.
"Finish your coffee. We're just going to be right there." She said, pointing at the harbor dock. Garuda in her mini-form had appeared to sit on one of Riven's shoulders, cackling in malicious glee.
"Riven!" Sebastian hissed. Gods the situation was going downhill faster than he could blink--
"Relax, big bro."

🖊 + Malik if you don't mind? I know he's been demoted but I'm still curious about them
Malik! I'm soooo sorry about his demotion lmao
I've honestly found it a little hard to find his voice for some reason. I don't think it's super consistent, which is something I'm a little unhappy with. I think I've struggled between giving him that radio persona that's intentionally a little "generic Signal Hill," while also making him a unique character? Idk. It's hard to create a persona without knowing the person behind the persona ahead of time. I think I might wind up having to rewrite his radio segments after the first scene with him in it, to bring it more in harmony with how he actually appears in the main story.
Speaking of which, the plot! That's why he was unfortunately demoted. Originally the demo's storyline was going to be way less open ended. You meet Doc, Doc tells you to go to Malik so that he can send you to meet KC and she sends you to meet Yasmin and somewhere in here Yvette gets involved... gah. The intro was basically going to be very linear. But as I started working on the locations I realized how poorly that would serve the gameplay- I called them "leads" because they're just ideas for what you might want to do, there are some that are necessary to push forward the plot, but you can just do them whenever. Keeping it open ended and player-directed made it fee more true to me, even if you will need to do all of those "meet the cast" quests before progressing the main plot.
Malik's role is still going to be important! But it's going to be condensed down to being part of some faction leads later down the line. So they might not get introduced right away.

🖊,🐾, 🛒 for Kaeya?
Thanks for the ask!
From this ask game.
🖊: what is your f/o’s handwriting like?
I actually like to develop new handwriting styles and calligraphy for fun, and his is one of the first ones I tried to work out. It depends on how Extra he’s feeling (he’s capable of some very fancy cursive) but if he’s just jotting down notes it looks like this:
Tumblr media
Loose and “carefree” but in reality carefully constructed to look like it took no effort at all, just like the man himself.
🐾: does your f/o like animals/going to the zoo/going to a pet store?
He’s not big on zoos — just doesn’t see the point honestly, would rather be doing something more exciting — but he adores our cat. My cat, originally, but the two of them warmed up to each other once we moved in together. He’s not what I’d call a “cat person”, but unlike a lot of people, he’s very respectful of cats’ desire for personal space and their own ways of expressing affection.
🛒: how does your f/o act in the grocery store (or any store)? do they goof off or try to get out as fast as possible?
Oh this man can never get anything done quick if he’s in a good enough mood. He slips random things in the cart to see if I notice, goofs off with the food, gossips about the other people in the grocery store, he’s straight up a menace. I don’t know how we manage to get all the right groceries lol

A Stranger. And You See Me The Same.
Tumblr media
Who are you? Bearing witness upon your gaze Effortlessly captivated my eyes, And it seeks to cultivate them once more.
What's your name? The name of the one who enchants me - i await for the prologue where I'll inevitably fall, With the story starting with you asking of mine
Would our lives converge with eachother? The person who excited me to befriend their laughter, To withhold your smile at the sight of my face, I'll lend you my heart in return for your affection you'll make me crave.
Will you wait for me? For I'll play as a fool to my untethered prediction, To await for a stranger who might stand at another's door. But I'll give you my soul - the person who I'll be longing for.

🖊+Kiri
thanks @dandylion240 ! Here you go!
I feel like I should put some kind of disclaimer or content warning on both Kiri's and Maxan's info (but Kiri's especially). Anyway... I'm putting it under a cut for that reason (and because it's long).
Tumblr media
Maxan (left) & Kiri (right)
((There's going to be a lot of background stuff included here, for context))
If Kiri had to choose one word to describe himself, it'd be survivor.
Kiri has a spot colour mutation known as polychromia. The majority of his species have single-coloured spots (or spots in shades of the same colour), but a small percentage of the population is born with a mutation that produces multicoloured spots. There are four known mutations; standard polychromia which shades from purple/pink through blue to teal/green (Max and Sri both have this one), dilute polychromia with pale purple/pink shading through to turquoise/teal, cool-tone polychromia with shades of blue and green (Kiri's colouration), and warm polychromia with fuschia/pink shading through to coral/orange and yellow (Kaji's colouration). Standard is the most common type and warm is the most rare.
Males with polychromia are generally smaller than typical males. They're considered to be more beautiful than average, with the smallest and the ones with the most colours or rarest colour mutations being the most highly-prized. Unfortunately, spot mutations aren't just connected to colour. A lot of males and some females with polychromatic mutations also have intellectual disabilities, compromised immune systems or congenital health problems.
Societal expectations for polychromatic males are low. They aren't expected to work or to receive more than a basic education. They're often spoiled and indulged by their mothers and their mates, sometimes to an extreme degree. Their most important role is to give birth to and raise children. Both males and females are capable of impregnating and becoming pregnant, but it's more often the males who have the babies.
Kiri originally came from a poor family, and when his mother realized she'd given birth to a child with the second rarest colour mutation, she couldn't help but see it as a future opportunity.
Sixamish culture has a practice of "bonding gifts" in which a female will give a gift to her future mother-in-law in exchange for the privilege of taking the older woman's son as her mate. Its intended purpose is a token of thanks, sort of like, "Thank you for trusting me with the care of your precious son. I honour your trust with this gift." It's largely symbolic and bonding usually isn't an arranged marriage type of situation. However, like so many things that start out innocently, people somehow find a way to corrupt it. Their world is a matriarchal society, and the most rich and influential people on the planet are females. Wealthy, powerful females decided they were willing to pay large amounts of money or other resources for the most beautiful males, essentially as trophy husbands or as a means to produce beautiful children, and of course there are always opportunists like Kiri's mother who are willing to give their sons for the right price.
Kiri was given to a wealthy businesswoman when he was only fourteen. He was a few months away from turning fifteen, but he was already sexually mature, so everyone looked the other way about him being more than a year underage (age of majority is 16 for them). Kiri's new spouse didn't waste any time getting around to educating him on the ways of mating, and he had his son Kaji when he was still just fifteen.
Kiri wasn't her only mate. Her first husband, the older one, hated Kiri and felt threatened by him because he'd produced the most beautiful child any of them had ever seen. The first husband was also the one their wife actually loved, and he had a lot of influence with her. As a consequence, Kiri was badly mistreated, sometimes being physically abused and often being denied food as a punishment for some arbitrary thing he did that displeased his mates. The most painful thing was that they often took Kaji away from him for days at a time as a punishment for some random thing.
Kiri had three miscarriages between having Kaji and having his twins, Xai and Sevan. By the time the twins came along, Kiri was determined that they would not be taken from him like Kaji was, and that he was going to protect them and teach them everything he could despite his limited knowledge. He refused to let his wife put the twins in a separate room, They slept with him and were practially with him at all times. When they got older, he would give his food to them, which meant that he sometimes didn't eat for days at a time. His health, which had never been the greatest, deteriorated to the point where several doctors were of the opinion that he'd never fully recover.
Fast-forward several years, and Kaji ends up in a similar predicament to Kiri, essentially being sold to a powerful female. Fortunately for Kaji, the female he ended up with was an ambassador to Earth, and she took Kaji there with her. While on Earth, Kaji escaped and was eventually rescued by Félix and Davian. Zira was the doctor who looked after him, and he eventually befriended Zira's husband Sri, and her best friend Maxan, who is also a doctor.
It was thanks to Kaji, along with Zira, Sri and Maxan, and Sri's mother, who is a magistrate (judge) that Kiri and the twins were eventually rescued and brought to Earth as well. The ship's doctor was afraid that Kiri wouldn't survive the voyage to Earth, but by sheer willpower and determination to see his long-lost Kaji, he did.
Maxan was the doctor who looked after Kiri once he arrived on Earth. Max was way more dedicated to Kiri's care than professionally advisable, but it worked out well for both of them in the end. Over the course of Kiri's recovery, they got to know each other far better than any doctor and patient rightfully should, and at some point they realized that they were destined to be more than just doctor and patient. Max is a survivor too, and they found strength in each other that they both needed.
Kiri still isn't in perfect health, but he's a lot better now than he ever was before coming to Earth. He and Max have had two children together, both of which Kiri gave birth to, and it's been a joy for him to raise his children without fear of them being taken away and without worrying about being able to feed them.

🖋 I am BEGGING for verde she’s my love and my light
Tumblr media
saur....ms verbe....
shes my baby girl. i'm going to do it in bullet points bc there is too much to try to condense into a like. talky thing. but the overview is verde is very strong kinda lame ex corpo and had a wild side when she was younger (fuckin every awful nc man and fighting people) and now just wants to stay home and chill the older she gets
send me a 🖊 and a oc and I'll introduce them and give them a backstory reveal
grew up in a very wealthy militech-oriented family, spent her time between their apartment in charter hill and jackie’s place bc their moms were besties (mama gloria was originally from heywood)
started to rly get deep into art and painting when she was 8. Her parents had her enrolled in some pretty intense courses once they saw her passion and talent. she was slated to be a comfortable artist living off considerable fortune and rubbing elbows with all the NC elite.
at the same time as that tho she’s running around with jackie getting into scraps and discovering while she has the hands for creating,,,she also has the hands for beating the shit out of anybody that comes near her.
dad is murdered when she’s like 13, mom passed when she was 19 from complications of A Chronic Illness after they were poisoned. #corpothings. Verde was mostly fine she's got a STRONG constitution. sorta. not rly after she gets the biochip out she’s fucked UP
they lost Everything after That and her and gloria were forced to move to a worn down mold infested apartment in heywood. gloria was left largely bedridden due to the Illness™️ so it came down to verde to support the two of them. Mama welles is like Let me help you where I can but Verde kinda proud so shes like no I can handle our buisiness ty., (she still sends Jackie with food a few times a week)
Which meant abandoning art and doubling down on her street fighting skills because only the latter was bringing in enough money for them to live off of.
Eventually Gloria gets tired of seeing her come home with a busted tooth, eye, etc,,,, pleads with her to take a job with Militech. Or maybe Kang Tao but she still knows people at Militech that may help Verde out a lil bit so. Off Verde goes as soon as she's eligible to work there bc her mom is getting worse and she wants them to be back in at least a clean home. Gloria passes literally the week before she gets their apartment but nobody will come collect her so Pepe and Jackie come to bury her where they can. :(
During the tail end of that she meets Val :) who tries to rob her bc corpo and then when verde is like u just stole my dinner from me shes like well...n verde is like just keep it u seem like u need it. and the rest is history after val shows up to watch her get trounced in a fight and is like wow. kinda pathetic. thats my friend now.
After that shes stuck at Militech bc. loyalty contract. at some point right before Arasaka is reopening she spots a weakness and steals a bunch of schematics and documents from Militech. Uses it to get into Arasaka and away from Militech bc better benefits and a shorter contract and they'll also protect her. + Jenkins has been trying to recruit her. Also breaks up with boyfriend Ramon after he slides deeper into unsavoury Valentino activities. :(
Begins her time at Arasaka and on her own merits and help from Jenkins secures her spot in counter-intel. Meets Landon a couple years later and he charms her. -_-
Everything goes relatively well for her after she breaks up with Landon a couple years later until Jenkins pulls that bullshit. Landon is part of that whole operation to get her and Jenkins tf out of there bc hes a bitter cunt.
Thus begins the main storyline of 77 and all that nonsense.

“🖊“
EHUEHEUEHEHE surprise us w any of ur ocs B) SENDING MUCH LOVE UR WAYYY <333
WAHHHH TYTYTYTYYYY TYSM <3333
ALSO ANY OC? BET LOL HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"The Marvelous Mandisa" - Mandisa Sephtis:
FIRST IDEAS:
I wanted to do a Sphinx character for Lackadaisy! But oh my GOD she was so HARD TO DRAW. So WRINKLY. Nonetheless she's one of my favorite designs!
Her suit color palette is faded green and light brown, something subtle and not too flashy. She also has a rose regalia pinned on her jacket lapel.
Heeled boots heeled boots heeled boots heeled boots---
I didn't have much of a process, but she originally had a cane. Didn't like that idea, it made her too...showman-y, and don't get me wrong! I enjoy showmen, but it wasn't the vibe for her.
Tumblr media
^This beautiful baby was my main inspiration for her design. I love Sphinxes <3333
I originally wanted to make her have two normal eyes and normal ears, but I gave her a glass eye---mainly for trying to figure out what I wanted to do/something new to try out!
I wanted to make her like...fifty years old, but she's in her thirties now lol plus she has three kids!
I wanted to make her of Persian-Egyptian descent, too!
Her voice claim would be Emily Blunt! Specifically Tempest Shadow from MLP lololol
FACTS/HEADCANONS:
She has three kids! Malachi, Cassandra, and Aziraphale. I honestly just picked names off the top of my head. Though Aziraphale was DEFINITELY because of Good Omens, and how I am not okay after that ending honestly, STILL NOT.
She is divorced: her husband Lorenzo was not kind to her as the years went on. Hence why she has a glass eye and scratches on her right eye. Her youngest son Aziraphale left with Lorenzo, Cassandra and Malachi staying behind with Mandisa.
Mandisa plays the violin: she used to perform with her second oldest, Cassandra, and her last show was in 1922, a month before Lorenzo left Mandisa.
She lives in the same apartment complex as Lacrimosa! Mandisa is also a hired assassin for Lacrimosa, working in the Rose Brigade
Her former occupation was a violinist and performer! Hence why she was called "The Marvelous Mandisa".
She loooooves making koshary for Malachi and Cassandra.
Koshary is an Egyptian dish (down below), and it consists of rice, lentils, macaroni, Vermicelli, tomato sauce, vegetable oil, onions, cumin, and coriander!
Tumblr media
Her first name means "sweet" in Egyptian and African descent, and her last name means "eternal death", from Persian descent.
She is most likely to be redeemed.
She is bisexual! <3
ROLE/PURPOSE/OTHER STUFF:
Left hand woman to Lacrimosa! Though she kind of hates her guts most of the time...
She has a lover named James Monroe, a Maine Coon, and he is the SWEETEST THING to her.
She knows how to get her job done, quickly and painlessly, and she is a no-nonsense type of woman. She will NOT stand for lies or cheaters.
She doesn't play her violin much anymore...if anything, she plays it for Malachi and Cassandra. Other than that, she does not bring it out to the public: she fears for her already shattered reputation.
Her song if it were 2023 would be Don't Make Me by Malinda!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS WAS A BIT SHORTER THAN I HOPED, BUT I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS!!! <3333

💬 and 🖊 + for Lord Meryamun Ankhkemet!
"You know... it kills me to say it but at least you [insert character name] and [insert character name] were luckier than I ever was..."
"Because we grew up with each other and you grew up alone ?"
"Yes... but mostly because you are orphans..."
-characters whose name I won't say yet from an original story I've been working on for 9 months now I hope to make a serial webcomic of one day (@chaifootsteps and @dracocheesecake know about it because I keep them updated everyday of new things I invenr and add to it, it originally started as a dream of a franchise I loathe I know they have beef with too which was much better than reality that surprised me for how much I loved it then I realized it was a dream and the good elements were from my mind so I told them and they encouraged me not to make it go to waste and I added another dream I had liked from the year before but did not know what to do with to add characters and an episode plot so 9 months later it went from "I dreamt a story I hate wad actually great and written like I would have written it" to its own whole original thing with its own lore, style and characters with just a few common points left), when the bully character opens up to one of the main characters they were a dick to until now and starts their redemption arc
OK as for Meryamun : until he got drunk with power and the ambition of becoming a pharaoh one day, and ditched them as a young adult, Meryamun had 3 childhood friends he grew up with. Neferet I told y'all about he ended up falling in love with shortly and whom he regrets the most for breaking her heart, User a big tough guy who likes to fight but is a gentle giant, and his cousin Kheti who studies to become a scribe his father Maya and Meryamun's father Neferhotep hope would be rivals because they are brothers with a rivality but their sons didn't want to be part of it. They all grew up together for being royal palace's staff's children, Meryamun being the son of Neferhotep (embalmer high priest) and Meresankh (ritualistic musician), Kheti of Maya (scribe high priest) and Ahmose (doctor high priestess), User of Djau (general) and Hetepheres (perfume maker) and Neferet of Sneferu (chief treasurer) and Isetnofret (servant)
I consider making a spinoff of The Ankhkemets focusing on his shenanigans as a teenager with his buddies because ever since I was little I was OBSESSES with Ancient Egypt and FINALLY I found an idea of a story to incorpor Ancient Egyptian everyday elements and be both funny and educative
