hmmmm sunday hc list?

accommodations must always be considered for io’s painful shoulder. sometimes it doesn’t support weight. sometimes it starts to really hurt. and it has a limited range of emotion. as much as io liked someone who could pin their hands over their head (or tie them there) it’s no longer possible.

previous point is why spooning is one of their favorite positions – less pressure on the shoulder.

io is a thighs! person! they’ll go crazy for them. they’ll spend all the time in the world down there just to properly enjoy a nice pair of thighs. plush? hell yeah. toned? fantastic. muscular? delicious. intentionally drawing attention to them with clothes, garters, lingerie, etc will make io go wild.

in a similar vein of making io go wild: stealing one of their shirts and wearing it in front of them. 

io will take all the time in the world to appreciate every inch and curve of their partner’s body but trying to turn the same thing back on io is nigh impossible. getting them to lay there and accept someone taking care of them is hard… despite the fact that it’s absolutely one of io’s fantasies. it’s the idea of being gently and thoroughly loved that makes them squirm in the good way and the anxious way.

outdoors, in nature, may just be io’s favorite location – and it tends to make them both a rougher and slightly more selfish lover. that’s their domain. and pursuing intimacy with them out there is just another on the list of ways to drive them up a wall in a good way.

it's checks my watch not sunday!

io's hips and lower abdomen are so sensitive. kissing and biting and spending time there will turn them into a needy puddle.

on top of that, their hips are just... stupid reactive. an absolutely stellar and blatantly obvious way to know if they're into something/aroused/etc. they hitch and buck and lift ridiculously easy and io likes it a lot if their partner takes the initiative to just pin them down. especially during oral.

honestly... io likes receiving oral when laying down more than they do standing up. they have their reasons, they're very hard to put into words, so they just... consider it a preference.

no shaving. maybe some trimming every so often but really? all salt n pepper curls that taper all the way up to just past their navel.

drips pre like a leaky faucet

beyond the other aforementioned sensitive spots, their thighs, chest, and inner arms are also sensitive spots. the small of their back is also one, too, but they're more touchy about that one due to the scarring present on their back.

bite them. bite them hard. draw blood? lick it back up? I don't think you understand. bite them. if io had sharp teeth they would return the favor. but they don't. so do it to them.

they like it a lot if their partner finds a way to silence them. they might glare with those pretty gray eyes but they like the gag just shoved into their mouth. promise. they swear up and down.

I think I've touched on both the positives and the negatives of this before. or at least, more so the positive and hinted at the negatives but - io's magic is tangible. to those who are able to sense such an energy, it's omnipresent. always there, clinging to them like smoke. it's hot, and electric, and not unlike a caged animal. always pacing and probing and trying to find ways to interact with the world around it. to a certain extent, it feels very alive. and to those who are not able to passively sense such an energy, io can make it so that they can on certain occasions. when their emotions become powerful their magic can be felt and sensed by anyone, and is a blanket of electric, buzzing heat that varies in intensity and comfort. powerful feelings of love can feel warm and cozy, like a purring cat in your arms or a warm fire on a cold day. powerful feelings of irritation can feel like a hot car heater blasting on your face, choking and dry. rage can make the area around io entirely intolerable, if not harmful or even deadly depending on how furious they are. and that's not even including the fact that io's magic does all that poking and pacing and probing for a reason - rage means it has every reason to light things on fire. but io's magic can also be felt through touch. this can be accidental, and they have absolutely burned people unintentionally before. but it can also be felt in the exact same way io feels it. warmth, pooling under the skin and spreading slow. it can be electric and thrilling and exciting. it can feel loving, or it can feel arousing depending on the context and how io wields it. it is something they can control, but like every aspect of io's magic it sometimes makes itself known without io's input. and it can also be felt painfully. searing into the muscle, burning from the inside. like swallowing a torch and feeling it still burning in your body. this kind of thing isn't restricted to io. their kind of witch is perfectly capable of this, and the exact feelings vary from person to person. latona's, for example, is cool. like mint and spring rain. but it can also be as cold as an arctic winter. the kind of chill that can't be worked out of your bones and flesh no matter how hard you try. io's mother's was like a hot iron. they don't know what her magic felt like when it was gentle. they only know the anger of her power, and feared her touch.

future me, does this get long? I'm preemptively putting it under a read-more. but I think a shipping guide is in order for io because they are. io.

first thing's first. io has the biggest trust issues in the entire world. and they are complicated trust issues. they are 'iovita's trust in people has been so thoroughly shattered that they genuinely, cannot, trust someone completely. ever.' no matter what, io is always going to have those... thoughts. they don't want those thoughts. they really, really don't. no one hates io's inability to fully trust more than they do.

I'd go so far as to say lucius is the last person they actually, fully trusted. not because he was extra special or anything, but because col is the one that stomped everything into smithereens for io. their parents had certainly fucked them over in the trust department, too, don't get me wrong. but col is the one who really... really fucked them up. if their son that they raised and loved could betray them like that? then anyone could.

which is why I am perfectly okay with io's trust issues being a complete deal breaker for relationships. it's not for everyone. and there needs to be a lot of patience involved to get io to talk about it.

io is demiromantic. they need a foundation before they start experiencing romantic attraction, and even then it's a shot in the dark. io loves so, so rarely. canonically they've only loved three people in 1,800 years. throughout the years of me writing them here on tumblr? a mere handful of ships. I know what io's type is. I also know that io's type is often more of a physical attraction than a tentatively-possible-romantic one.

beyond that, io doesn't really have a gender preference or anything, really. I... think. I do feel like it's fluctuated over their many years. I think for a while they were mostly attracted to masculinity. and more recently more attracted to femininity. but it's not a requirement at all, or anything. just... something I've noticed.

io has trauma. io has a lot of trauma. io does not handle their own trauma well. they have anger issues, they're prone to picking stupid fights, and they tend to lash out if their issues are brought up suddenly. they also tend to self-isolate and shut down if they don't want anyone to acknowledge them struggling. they dissociate. they have very bad nightmares. they sleep incredibly lightly and in fits and starts throughout a day and night.

they are also a high-functioning alcoholic. a drink, two drinks a day. casually so. but if the day is bad they will drink themself into a stupor and live to regret it the next day.

io has ongoing trauma too. the hounds are constantly on their trail, and this leads to obsessive hyper vigilance from io. constantly rechecking doors and windows and locks to the point of breakdown. they hate it. they don't want to do it. but they are, at no point, entirely safe anywhere. io no longer knows what it means to be entirely relaxed. they are always watching for their hunters.

and on that note, io kills people. specifically their hunters, but if others get caught in the middle of it all then they don't really care. io will intentionally hunt their own hunters. and io is not a merciful, quick-killer. io is a cat with a mouse and they use their hunters as an excuse to release pent-up frustration and anger. it's not pretty. and io thinks its fun.

io can love someone who won't accept that, but it's a recipe for a failure. io greatly prefers a penchant for violence in their lovers. a willing one. they like someone who can make the call to kill someone if necessary. like recognizes like, and all that.

adair! you say. where are the good things about loving io? and to that I say I'm sorry I emphasized so many of the bad things here, but I feel like it's important to stress that io is not an easy person to love.

when io does love someone they start to open up and show traits that not everyone is privy to. io can be playful, and a bit childish sometimes. they smile more for the people they love. they allow themself embarrassment over silly matters. they let people see them indulging in silly little habits. their love for all things ocean and beach related. their seashell collection. catching little lizards and snakes and showing them to you whether you like it or not. wading around in a river because there's pretty rocks to look at on the river bottom. their love for soft, squishy comforts.

io in love is devoted. io is loyal to the person they love and the person they love only.

they're protective. they're a little territorial (not... jealous. territorial - 'this is mine'). they'll kill for you, they'll take a blow for you, they'd die for you. winning io's tenuous trust is to earn their heart and their loyalty to the very end. only something really bad would shatter that.

they like sharing mundane, domestic moments. they like sharing the hobbies they love. they're more physically affectionate than they'll ever be with anyone else.

io always pulls their weight. they cook, they clean, they make the house a home I can assure you. they're handy as all-get-out, too, and love building most anything from ground up. they have an entire treasure trove of beautiful, hidden natural places to take you to. they will fully utilize inter mundos's ability to travel anywhere to... well, travel anywhere. you want dinner in another country? want to spend a week together at an isolated beach? they can do it. they want to do it.

they're incredibly patient with others' trauma, because they've been there, done that. are they as good with their own trauma? god. fuck no. but they can treat others' trauma much better. quietly, and with grace.

so yes, there's a lot of hard things to deal with when it comes to loving io and being loved by io, but there's a lot of good things, too.

anyway. my point is that io's hard to love. I greatly prefer ic interaction before thinking about ships, so that I really know how io feels and reacts to a person. long-term writing partners can, honestly, get so much more leeway with this simply because I trust them.

that being said, I am always open to flirting interactions, crushes, and unrequited love. I'll never say no to those! I just ask that you understand this silly little witch of mine a) has sooo much baggage and b) loves so goddamn rarely you can count their past loves on one hand and still have fingers left over.

I think one of the best ways to explain why io starts fumbling when it comes to romantic attraction is that they're lonely. and not a mild kind of loneliness, it's the kind that twists up inside of them with its desperation to be relieved. like ribs out of place. like a back ache that won't go away no matter how you sit or lay or stretch. and it's not an easy pain for someone like io to relieve. not just anyone is going to cut it, and not just anyone has the wherewithal to put up with io. io doesn't want to lose a friend or connection by introducing romance when its not wanted, no matter how attracted they may be. because if they do? they're back at square one. fighting their own heavy, dark loneliness once again. so instead they sit on their hands and they yearn and they wonder and they debate signs of reciprocation in the oh yes they definitely feel the same or no, no I'm imagining things kind of way. sexual attraction is an entirely different ballgame for io. that's easy. it's simple. romance introduces such a slew of potential problems. and beyond that io just doesn't feel romantic attraction all that often to begin with. romance confuses and flusters them more than anything else ever will. it frightens them, too. they don't want to mess up and lose the person they've bonded with.

io can't be a victim to something like lycanthropy or vampirism because their magic will burn it out of their system. which it does for more minor, mundane things, too - which is why you'll never catch io with the cold, the flu, etc. however, the more supernatural diseases mentioned take... days to be completely burned out. it's the only time io would be down, out, and very ill. more minor witches are not excused from lycanthropy and vampirism, though, as their wells of magic are not deep enough to fight it. this is the case for a more minor npc of mine, louis russel, who does crave blood like any good vampire, but because of his witch beginnings also desperately craves the magic of others. he currently resides in los angeles, running a secret, incredibly exclusive supernatural club named no entry.

I've been thinking about this for... a while now, but I think that sometimes, sometimes io is more into the idea of only their partner's pleasure and not their own at all. in a way that I think is 100% dysphoria based on their part. it's not all the time. their dysphoria comes in waves here and there and for the most part they've gotten good at countering it. but their physical pleasure during sex is just... sometimes something that makes them uncomfortable and they'll pass on it in the moment. they might feel differently the next time around, they may not, they may ask their partner to work through it with them. it depends.

io wrenched their shoulder while falling from a tree and trying to grab onto another branch, and then to put icing on the cake hit the ground shoulder-first, too. and because at that moment in time they were living alone in actual wilderness, did not have any help what-so-ever and it didn't heal well or even correctly. all of which has made their left shoulder weak and painful. they wear a brace on it 90% of the time or occasionally bundle it into a shitty sling if it's really bad.

the reason io turned to drinking is because things get to be too much. there's constant stress in their life. the hounds, recurring pain, the constant lingering effects of their trauma. but at least drinking makes those worries... ease. makes it easier to sleep. and it became a dependency that lingers on. most of the time, it's barely obvious. a drink every day in a nice glass. something slipped into their coffee. other times it's blatantly obvious, and io always feels guilty after getting drunk. they don't want anyone to see. they do it in private, in inter mundos, and avoid people the day after, too. they brush their teeth over and over. they scrub their skin raw. they try to cover everything about it up. and io knows that this is a bad, bad coping mechanism. io's tried to stop themself before. but, here's the thing - alcohol is one of the worst substances to withdrawal from and io has very personal and real experience with this. io now is almost certainly going to end up with delirium tremens if they try to quit again and they... do not like hospitals, doctors, etc. they also don't like asking for help. despite how badly they want to stop, io is scared of many things that come with it. withdrawals, needing to ask for help, and dealing with their stress and mental health afterwards. it's also one of those things that isn't just stubbornness that keeps them from seeking help. it's that age-old fear of theirs that their weakness is unseemly, that no one will want to deal with that. that they should bite their tongue and fight through the pain without a single wince because who wants to take care of someone like them?

as I have mentioned so many times that you all are probably like 'yes adair we know' io has stupidly massive trust issues. lucrezia is also very initially distrustful and often hostile/rude to strangers. io does not trust strangers at all, themself. because a stranger could be a hunter. on top of their already present trust issues, io has to be vigilant and paranoid to stay alive. they are, literally, hunted. when io starts to become closer to people, they start to let their guard down little bit by little bit. lucrezia starts to accept them a little more, herself, but she is still obviously rather rude and resentful about their presence. she is always watching them to make sure that they don't get up to any funny business. and when io really gets closer to someone and starts to allow themself those bits and pieces of trust, lucrezia starts to calm down, too. she still watches carefully and keeps an eye on things, but she might also start to offer affection. lu is a perfect echo to iovita's own trust. even in established relationships, if io is starting to feel distrustful for whatever reason, lu will immediately echo it. so, if io is hiding these thoughts, lucrezia will give them away by how she's acting - standoffish, distant, withdrawing her affections.

io is very much a I'll make you food to make you feel better kind of person. they kind of... default to it as an offering of comfort. hurt? sick? tired? they'll make soup, or stew, or your favorite dish. had a long day? go get comfortable they'll make dinner. rough night? breakfast. they do love it when someone joins them in the kitchen to help, too, and tend to soften and smile more often. it's a good, comfortable space for them and they love it dearly.

there's never really a point where io doesn't smell like smoke. no matter what they were doing in a day, whether or not they were using their magic, it always lingers. it's not something as pungent as cigarette smoke, or as acrid as a housefire. it's very obviously woodsmoke. the distant smell of a wildfire or the campfire smoke following you around and around in endless circles. it clings to them, underneath everything else. always present. always a reminder of their wildfire magic.

❝ ━ i'm calling latona, because you're being unreasonable.❞ hekate held the phone away from her witch, slipping out of reach as iovita protests grow louder and the goddess has to refrain from smirking as she dials the number and puts it on speaker. it rings twice before someone picks up, ❝ ━ hi, good afternoon, ms. latona, i need you to speak to iovita, they're being a little unreasonable and stubborn today...❞ there's nothing more amusing than seeing how iovita pouts, it's adorable.

“ DO NOT - DO NOT - HEKATE. put the phone away. ” there’s a desperate scramble as iovita tries to grab the phone from her hand, cursing vehemently in latin when she easily dodges their attempts. they would be lying if they said they didn’t feel some kind of primal fear at her very words - latona has been the only one capable of putting them in the person equivalent of a down. stay. for seventeen centuries.

“ 'miss latona,' ” muses the voice from the other end. “ you don’t have to be so proper, hekate. just latona is fine. ”

“ oh I would call you something different, ” iovita mutters. evidently loud enough to be heard, because latona lets out an undignified snort.

“ oh? am I on speaker? salve iovita. your lovely goddess is telling me that you’re being a bit of a bitch today, hm? ”

iovita doesn’t reply, scrabbling for the phone again and huffing when hekate leans away once more. “ she’s lying. ”

“ iovita. ”

“ I am not being unreasonable or stubborn, ” iovita hisses.

there’s a pause. “ io, you’ve been unreasonable and stubborn since I met you. and that was seventeen hundred years ago. we had to socialize you like a dog out of an animal shelter that lied to us about you being ‘sweet’ and ‘good with people.’ because you’re neither of those things. ”

“ where are you pulling these - these - ”

there’s a thoughtful cluck from latona’s end. “ metaphors? oh. no. similes, I think it would be. hekate, darling, are you enjoying this? I’m so sorry they’re being like this. and it seems to me like they’re not going to change so why don’t you both come visit me - ”

“ no! ” iovita yells, and then coughs and lowers their voice. “ no. I’ll be good. do not, ” they point at hekate, “ listen to her. we can stay right here. please. ”

I have a loose set of io talking rules:

verbose. io goes the longest way possible when talking. one could assume they like the sound of their own voice. one would be correct. (1a. this is why I like writing azzy talking because he's short and to the goddamn point)

when io writes/texts they do not use contractions at all. never. io also does not believe in our lord and savior, the comma. or any punctuation besides a period.

io does use contractions while talking but it depends on how the words flow. I'd say they lean more often towards no contractions. so long as it sounds... right. idk how else to explain it? io likes making their words flow and plays it fast and loose with everything to make it happen. io does love modern curse words. they absorb that kind of thing like a silly little sponge.

io will start slurring words and/or short-cutting when they get tired, excited, or distracted. this is also the point they start leaning towards using more contractions instead of drawing everything out.

io writing little notes or sending a longer text means that at some point (~halfway through) it gets shorter and choppier with every sentence. like they got bored and want to finish it as soon as possible. because they did. io does not often treat the written word like they do the spoken word. presumably because they can't hear themself.

I'm joking about that last sentence.
