FAWY Minis | Ch. 5 (Magnus Rasmodius POV)
Rating: Mature/Explicit
Notes: This one’s during the flower dance chapter, as well as 18 and 19!
I never really considered Magnus’ inner dialogue much, mostly just focusing on magicky stuff with him, so I wanted to play around with that. I feel like he’d be a bit insecure, maybe even anxious, when it comes to fitting in, romance, etc. He’s just good at hiding it. I tried to portray that a bit.
Btw, g/n = grandpa’s name. Wasn’t sure if y’all would want a named grandpa or to insert your own grandpa in there, so I kept it customizable to be safe!
I hope you enjoy x
[If you're new here - hi! Please see chapter 18 of the main story (below) for a visual reference to the wizard - I refer to a modded version throughout the fic!! I do recommend you read at least up to chapter 31 of the main story before reading this though, so as to avoid spoilers.]
Falling Away With You (main story)
Check it out on ao3!
Prev | Next
It’s her.
It’s… it’s actually her.
I’d overheard the discussion of a new resident moving onto Mooncrest during one of my periodic visits to Gus’ kitchen. I’d heard the assumptions — which I now know to be true, given her appearance — that it was going to be (g/n)’s granddaughter. 
How could I not have foreseen how significant she would be to me, though?
Oftentimes the spirits give me somewhat of a hint, a little spark of my senses to let me know if something important is happening. Something worth looking into. Something like this, damn it. A wee reminder to not only be more aware of the world around me outside of my work, but to perhaps take the time and effort to foresee what’s to come in my near future.
I feel a subtle vibration in my fingers. 
Are they toying with me? Is that what this is?
Feeling the zaps of their rebuttal through my limbs, I come to the conclusion that they are. 
But… why wait..?
More tingling. 
That was rhetorical, you obviously can’t answer m—
One last buzz, and I feel the spirits’ presence fade. Sigh.
Cheeky little phenomena, they are. I can only hope to ever commune with them in a plane of existence where we can see one another. For now… I might as well be a loon, telepathically speaking with invisible sprites that communicate through touch above all else.
…As though this scenario as a whole — now paying particular attention to not just my potential daughter, but my soulmate as well, all from a row of particularly bountiful bushes — makes me any less of a loon.
I shake the feeling that I’m being strange and that this is probably unnecessary , and I focus on the task at hand. I still am keen on determining whether or not I’ve any relation to Abigail. No use giving up now that I’m here.
My eyes flit to the girl, her hair as vibrant as my own. She’s laughing with her friends, tentatively sipping the punch I saw Pamela spiking with cheap liquor earlier.
I wish I could get close enough to see if there’s any bit of an arcane link connecting us. I desire answers, damn it, not to spend every chance I get contemplating my lineage while hiding just out of view.
I shut my eyes, rubbing them with a thumb and forefinger. 
Just when I believe I can calm my high emotions, my mind wanders to another circumstance that’s haunted me for years. Not nearly as many, but I digress. 
For Abigail to be friends with Sebastian was not exactly improbable, but it is funny, in an ironic way.
Of course Abigail would befriend my former apprentice. One I was rather fond of, at that.
I observe him for a moment. It’s rare to see him in anything brightly colored, aside from occasions such as this, where it’s a requirement. He looks quite handsome, if I do say so.
Is it silly of me to wonder if he’s ever thought the same of me? Is this just another instance of my insecurities controlling my thought process? Or is that a normal thing to think about, and I’ve merely forgotten, given how long it’s been since my last romantic endeavor?
That’s unimportant, I suppose.
Although… he must’ve had some reason for abruptly halting his apprenticeship with me. 
Perhaps to him I was no more than some wretch living in a tower, far from Pelican Town’s main population for reasons unbeknownst to him. He could have asked, of course, but I wouldn’t exactly put it against him to keep his opinions to himself. I mean, look at me. I don’t resemble any of these townsfolk, do I? And of course here I am, spying on them rather than partaking in their activities firsthand, and I spend most of my time in my home when I could be out here socializing, and I’m sure my lack of socialization with non-elementals could be off-putting.
Sure, those who know of me don’t typically enjoy my presence, but…
I don’t know.
God. Now I’m a loon who’s spying and in a vicious pit of self-hatred that I buried myself in from the outskirts of the event.
Lovely.
Perhaps I should go… I’m not being very productive in my research anyway.
I chance one last look towards our newest farmer. I feel another tingle. A pull to her that’s far too tempting to succumb to. As though I want to just leap onto the field and say something to her. Anything.
How do I even go about getting closer to someone I’ve no reason to commune with? Marie worked at a shop, so it was quite easy to befriend her. The others… I had nary a clue where they were or what they were doing. This is an entirely new situation for me.
The farmer’s eyes flicker to mine. I feel the same thunderous commotion in my limbs and my belly as I did when Marie and I first met. God above, this girl has the same bright flush to her cheeks, the same gentle yet piercing gaze… which is… on me…
Oh. 
Shit.
My eyes widen, as do hers. 
She appears to be just as compelled to gravitate to me as I am to her. She takes half of a step forward before looking around at the townspeople and securing herself back in her corner. Thank goodness. If she were to come over here, it would only draw more suspicion as to why the resident recluse in the woods is staring at all these people…
“I know that look, Mag.”
I let gaze shift to Linus’ as his words resonate in my head and can practically feel my irises’ change of hue. I’ve been caught by him as well. Thank the spirits he’s a friend — he knows why I’m here.
“You do indeed.”
“So, (y/n), huh?”
Is that her name, then? It’s lovely…
“Yes,” I answer.
“Is it an attraction, or do you think she’s..?”
“Absolutely. Both.”
“Better get going before you freak her out, then.”
“As if I haven’t already, you know damn well she’s looking at me right now .”
He grins huffs out a silent chuckle before turning to face the dancers once more. “I’m just saying, you could be a tad bit more subtle, boy. Go.”
I sigh. I can still feel (y/n)’s eyes boring into me as I teleport back home, feeling morose rather than embarrassed.
Later in the evening, I succumb to my desire to more formally meet her and go through the lengthy, exhausting process of searching into the future. 
I’m overjoyed to learn that she’ll come to me. That is far less pressure. It gives me time to prepare, too. To look more presentable, or clean, or… I don’t know. I know I can’t prevent the inevitable, but I don’t want to make the process unenjoyable for either of us, obviously. 
When (y/n) eventually does arrive, I’m delighted to learn that not only is she an absolutely lovely being inside and out, but she’s magically inclined as well. I use this as a cover for her impulses to visit my tower:
“One may grow connected to the elements — hence, why you were so heavily drawn toward my abode over time,” I tell her.
It’s not entirely deceitful, and the last thing I want to do is scare her by proclaiming that our destiny brought us to this very moment. 
I lean into being “old” and “wise” as well, referring to her and other townspeople of roughly her age as “young.” I overdo it though, I believe, as she calls me out on it. I don’t take any issue in revealing my true age given I’d likely be closer to her age — maybe a decade or so older — if I were a human. 
I catch her staring a few times throughout our first meeting. I’ve no way to discern whether it’s due to attraction, or if she’s merely judging me, but it piques my curiosity either way. I probe her thoughts a few times for good measure — which (y/n) calls me out on as well, so I know now that I must show restraint. It’s mostly habitual, and I say that much. She understands.
She seems exceptionally sweet and caring. Awfully curious, for sure. A little strange too, but who am I to judge? I’m rather strange myself. And she’s funny, to boot, unless it’s my own giddiness leading me to assume so.
When she leaves, I’m sure to give her a proper send off. Perhaps it’s dramatic, but I’m inclined to believe she enjoys how eccentric this situation as a whole has been. She seemed awfully giddy herself, at times.
“There are many adventures ahead for you and I,” I project before she wanders too far. “I truly look forward to your company, (y/n).”

I recreated my Warden from DAO in BG3. But now I noticed that I made a mistake and didn't remove "history" from her skills. As if lady luck was in my favor, she seems to be failing history rolls that would throw me out of the immersion that I'm playing someone who fakes being Faerunian xD I picked spells for her that are the most similar to DAO starting spells. It's hard to find the exact equivalents but I did it.
I chose a wizard because of the Circle and then at level 2 Necromancer because my Warden Amell is an entropy mage and Necromancy has the most spells related to siphoning life energy and stuff like that (also I wanted to try it). Now only to figure out Arcane Warrior / Battlemage.
Tumblr media
I used some mods to give her nice and unique nighty night clothes.
Tumblr media
Of course I had to dye them in the typical Grey Warden's colors.
I picked up Shadowheart and funnily we managed to enter the Crypt from the beach, so we went at the crypt first, robbed the sarcophagus, fought the skeletons etc. We just didn't tackle the full robbers party, because when I tried we died. So I accepted that killing 2 was enough and left the crypt and got a funny deception quote xD
Tumblr media
"You have awoken me from my slumber - now I crave your blood!"
I faked being the big bad sleeping in the crypt and they run away xD
Then I recruited Lae'zel and Gale. We went to full rest and learned what the fuck is ceremorphosis. Then we went to sniff around the crashed Nautiloid. Astarion tried to kill me (very Zevran of him) and I headbutted him, because why not. I'm a Grey Warden Commander dammit, no elfy rogue will scare me (again). Then we recruited the guy, fought the goblins at the Grove. I used the first merchant as a fake reason why I could equip modded armor in the Warden's colors:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(This is a face of someone who hates being woken up at night).
Tumblr media
I asked Astarion who the fuck he is, he said he is a mere Magistrate and then we had to long rest, because I wasted all my spells on goblins and bugbear to save that one Tiefling with the soul coin and look at that, Astarion went for the neck exposing himself right away, because his cutscene is connected to full rest and we had to full rest. If we only had a half-rest he would first go to hunt alone. But anyway, he wanted to drink my blood and I said "Are you mad?" because I play a person who has taint in their blood, so it's dangerous even for an undead to drink it. Who knows what could have happened!? Anyway, thanks to the fact that we have found several copies of the Curse of the Vampyr books in the crypt that contained basic information, we faked knowing what a vampire is, and as of now nobody suspects a thing. Safe!
Astarion went away unhappy none the wiser that he just dodged a possible "turning into a Darkspawn" bullet. Then in the morning we had a conversation where we acted as if being a vampire was totally fine, and I didn't just call him mad for wanting to drink my blood.
I was looking out for you, you will thank me someday.
BTW apparently I can't change +5 to history, because it's fixed:

This is maybe for later cus I'm really bad at writing down ideas so I'm using Tumblr as a motivator (I got the idea from a dream I don't know why a lego show works with that a bit too much for me)
Got an idea for basically lmk × arcane (it started as a different idea but the consept just grow into a similar world and i rolled with it)
Sun wukong is like Heimerdinger, basically as the top of the council and sort of the head of the up city
Tang and nezha are in the council as well but I'm not sure what's their part in the story yet
Macaque and MK are in the under city and are kinda like Powder and Vi, but not really fully siblings vibe, more like twp close abandoned cats ( Macaque is on adge whenever anything related to the up city happenes) he's still immortal like swk and the two has history, one that ended badly
Pigsy is like vander, instead of a barman he's cooking and he don't like the situation at all but to keep the people living there safe (ish), he make sure nothing too extreme happens with the top city to make them come down there
The mayer is the head of the enforcers and he's the one doing business with pigsy (who's btw bulid more like Zhu Bajie here)
Sandy is a blacksmith in the under city and although it doesn't seem like that so much, Macaque is very close to him and feel safe in the workshop, he occasionally make little bulids but mostly like to watch sandy make stuff, there are a lot of weapons stored in there from the past but these days sandy mostly make moving statues of different things (and he has a lot of mechanical cats, their mechanisms are quite simple but their builds are very impressive)
For some reason I imagen him looking pretty much the same figure but different pants and added welding goggles
Mei is a high ranked guard that works close to the palace but occasionally leave for long missions
Lady bone demon is in the council and while looking mostly neural and pro the city, actually working behind the curtains to push her agendas, to weaken the city and to hold a revolution at some point, when the opportunity shows itself.
She doesn't believe in the current system that the world runs on and think the only way to fix it is to gain power so she could change and improve how's everything works, at some point after seeing a bit too much of the politics and the way humans around her prefer to take the easy way out, or the one that's more beneficial to them regardless of how it'll effect the less fortunate, she believes that the only way to make a real difference is to take the power by force and to make the changes necessary no matter the cost.
The demon bull family are nobleman's.
iron fang in the council, and she let red son to study the under city tech and he study with the great minds of their time.
His parents doesn't know it but occasionally he sneak to the under city for supply that's too hard to get from the other researchers that bring different devices to work with.
This is what i thought of so far, I also have the bigging of a story but I'll write that later :)
If you read all of that, you're awesome <3

watching this au somewhat-flesh out in the tags like heeehoo giggling and twirling my hair etc. thank u for sharing its really cool to hear about this especially your reasonings behind things :) and the au name FUCKS btw 10/10 on that one (you can take this as a free space to ramble more about it if you like)
AHHH TYSM ANON!! ive been having a lot of fun with au (but im a lil. tapped out for ideas, but the general idea is that you can do. Whatever you want with this [wowie just like actual mythology!] so!! feel free to add on/make ur own/be inspired or whatever from this ^_^ most of this is mostly what i feel from Vibes anyways [and i would be very very happy to see any content in general so !!!])
ANYWAYS going to use this an opportunity to ramble about clown and spoke!! this is gonna focus more on their myths rather than their cults bc. i have a clearer image abt their myths than their cults (and vice versa for ash and red)
ANYWAYS lets start of with clown! ^_^ for some context, clown's username used to be godlysins (which is something he only went by for a little bit, he's been using clownpierce for a Lot longer) but basically id imagine he'd start off as a god, and after some time his mythology would be about him rejecting godhood and being able to complete impossible tasks as a mortal (also he gets a name change, pissing off any historians trying to study him <3), so essentially functioning as a greek hero in this au (also bc i think there's this cool quote of him saying that he's human, so that's a fun tie in!). anyways he's popular among warriors and looked up by anyone who wants to accomish something really hard :)
i also mentioned spoke being an import god in my tags where i mentioned clown, and that idea is mostly because iirc he got a lot of his powers from a hypixel exploit? don't quote me on that though im not very caught up on his lore (or ls lore in general </3 i cant watch streams bc of School and energy levels) . anyways since he seemingly got his powers from a 3rd party, id imagine (similar to the original theory about dionysus' origin before we found his name in older records) that spokes origin myths would have him coming from some far off land and having arcane powers compared to the other god bc he got it from somewhere else ^_^ awesome! (also this is a Different reason to why i think ash is more of an import god bc ash is known for. a lot of things? like you cant really point where Most people know him, so that idea kinda transferred to him being an import god)
but YA! ty for the ask anon <3 i loveeeee thinking abt related ideas abt a topic so ^_^ tysm for the ask and giving me a chance to talk abt clown and spoke!!!

i cannot believe Submit was the first time you wrote f/f! I've read it at least 5 times😶‍🌫️
also I made my dad watch Arcane with me and finally got the courage to come out with him. and yesterday, during a normal chat (he was mad cause i didn't I cleaned the kitchen lol) he told me "when you start living with a boyfriend, girlfriend or friend, you have to be more responsible". i was so happy to hear him saying that like it was nothing:')
I'm so happy Arcane, and Sevika, helped you to know yourself better<3
and I'm happy my first message made you smile.
btw, is 🔮 taken?
You read it five times?! That is incredibly flattering!! I'm thrilled I was able to provide smth that you enjoyed enough to come back to. 🥰
That is so darn sweet. First, just watching a fav show with your dad- that's so awesome. Using Arcane to help come out to him- also great (and relatable 😆). And then him so quickly showing his support in a very natural way- really and truly wonderful to hear! Warms my heart! I'm very happy for you!
Both of your messages have made me smile. Good vibes and good feelings! ♥️
In regards to the emoji, I'm assuming that's used to differentiate between other anons, right? I think I've seen that done once before (in still kinda new here. 😅) If that's the case then it is available because you are the first to ask me smth like that.
Ty for the lovely asks! 🖤🖤🖤

Recently watched a good interview with Brandon Sanderson, probably my favorite current fantasy author, about Arcane (which he calls a masterpiece btw), and while I don’t agree with all their takes (especially the ones relating to Vi and Mel for example), there were a couple of really interesting points raised that I wanted to highlight. Sanderson defines Arcane as grimdark because the characters are consistently punished for making the right choice. I had never considered the grimdark label for Arcane but I have to agree, although I would quibble slightly and say that rather it’s more like there is no right choice and that every possible outcome is bad, but that still fits the “grimdark” definition.  The interviewer interprets the outcome of the dinner scene as: Jinx in the heat of the moment is forced to choose between Vi and Silco, she chooses Vi....and immediately regrets that choice. I had never thought of it in quite those terms before and I’m not sure I entirely agree with it, but it’s very plausible and now I’m even more heartbroken about that scene.... And finally: “Heimerdinger is a Disney character in a George RR Martin story.” I laughed so hard and that is so accurate.

For fun, Iam going to explain why I like Izzy hands. Not that it will convince anyone that I only stan him do subconscious racism/sexism/homophobia.
Aesthetics. Shallow, but this isn't a philosophy dissertation. It's a matter of person preference. I love that he's got the vest and princess sleeves in all black. Being good with a sword is cool. Also, he is hot. That voice. He's also small! Love a small dangerous guy.
Moral greyness. I will almost always be interested in morally grey characters, especially darker ones.
In denial about vulnerability and feelings. There's something extra touching to me about a character putting on a tough facade. It makes me want them to be safe and be able to express their feelings.
Cynical and practical. I am like this myself and will always sympathize with characters trying to tell idealistic protagonists that they are being stupid, actually. All through ep 4 I was sympathetic to poor Izzy who just wanted orders from his boss to not die.
Responsible, orderly, reliable, honorable. Izzy is someone who takes his responsibilities seriously. Love that, especially as a disorganized disaster.
Lonely. He has no friends? He's so socially awkward? Poor baby! Sure he's mean, but I find it so sad that he doesn't know how to relate to people.
A masochist submissive. Love that for him.
Tragically in love and loyal. I am always weak for this. The pining!
And if you don't buy any of this, if you look at my past favorite characters, the trend become obvious.
Tumblr media
Recently, I was extremely fond of Silko from Arcane. A small villain with sympathetic qualities with a great voice, dark aesthetic, and cool facade that hides his emotions.
Tumblr media
Then there's Revolver Ocelot. He's a sharply dressed cowboy wannabe with a deep voice and incredible skill in using his revolvers. He's a villain, torturer, and sadist. It turns out a ton of the plot was actually just his ludicrously complicated plan to fulfill the dream of another (male) series villain he was loyal to and in love with. He's lighting is murder husband's cigar up there.
Tell me, do you think someone with a history of a loving pining gay loyal sadist villain Revolver Ocelot needs racism to fall for a character like Izzy Hands?
And I doubt that I'm the only enjoyer that has a list of favorite characters that share traits with Izzy. I saw a piece of fan art with both Izzy and Jean Vicquemare together, another gravelly voiced, prickly side character. Another of my favorite characters, btw.
If you aren't drawn to this particular character type? Absolutely fine. You do you. But don't assume people who like Izzy and sympathize with him are...racists or some shit.
Oh! Izzy fans! Please tell me why you love our babygirl!

Introductory post!!
Hello! Names's Cemical.
I use any pronouns, tbh i probably wont be too active unless i have something to post about. I just now started using this account just to post/share random thoughts and or realizations about Omori, but i would most likely post about other stuff too!
If you couldn't tell I am going through that Omori brain rot HARD, i rlly love Omori. I'm also proud to say that i am a Dragoon and Pomudachi o7, some other things that i love is Adventure Time and its spin offs, He-man and the Masters of the Universe, Mitski, Gwitch, Popee the Performer, and Arcane.
I draw btw! I have difficulties drawing humans, my strong points in art are animals and backgrounds! Basically anything that doesn't involve humans LMAO. I don't do commissions and i honestly do see myself opening commissions pretty soon. Almost forgot but I mainly do traditional art, I do occasionally do digital art tho!
(Keep reading pls 🙏)
Things about me >:3
i am a minor. yes, i make suggestive jokes, and yes, i don't mind hearing them. However! i will not do any sort of explicitly nsfw content.
The one thing i love the most is OMORIIIIII EHHEJHEjEl. I love Omori a normal amount/j I especially love sunburn (THEY'RE SO CUTE I CANT) ANyways if you love Omori too pls be my mutual, i wanna talk to ppl who love Omori like i do!!
Another thing I'm heavily interested in is He-man and the Masters of the Universe! So the same thing i said about Omori applies here, probably even more so since it is an old tv show AJHBdj(MOOTS PLS)
I mainly text on discord so if you want to chat on there DM on here so i can give you my discord username!
im very bad at spelling (my name is literally chemical spelled wrong LMAO) 👍
Like i said earlier, i am a proud Pomudachi and Dragoon o7, the amount of love I have for Selen and Pomu is insane-
PLEASEE DNI IF:
If you are: A proshipper, homophobic, racist, transphobic, ableist, xenophobic, or just anything like that, i don't like that shit.
My tags...?
I'm new to using Tumblr if that wasn't obvious but i do know that this should help organize things so lets gooo!
Cemical Doodles - Just for my art, not just for doodles 😼
Neuro Wavelengths - for if ppl ask me questions!
Cemical thoughts - For random things that i think about, honestly it might just be filled with Omori related things 💀
ASK ME QUESTIONS!!!!!
Please feel free to ask questions! Preferably something related to my interests or maybe just wanting to learn more about me, but i wouldn't mind random questions ONLY if they're appropriate.
I also wouldn't mind if you request me to draw/doodle smth just don't expect me to do it. 😼👍

PLEASE elaborate on the void dimension thing.
OH, WELL, RUBS MY HANDS TOGETHER EXCITEDLY
SO! For context I'm gonna have to explain the setting a little bit, so this is gonna get a bit long;
In the session where the aforementioned Void Kidnapping happened, our party was still in the middle of the first story arc, which was about us all randomly (or not so randomly) chancing upon this one really huge and famous city of invention known for a specific kind of metal that could convert different kinds of energy into arcane energy, and vice versa, during a festival of invention held within. The entire city (called Nethermoore) was covered by a huge dome at all times because sunlight has a corrosive effect on the metal, meaning the whole place was basically always held inside a controlled environment with artificial lighting and its own oxygen supply system and such.
Except! Oops! Someone went and sabotaged the thing responsible for distributing power across the city, and now all exits are closed and the city is plagued by frequent blackouts (during which weird magical distortions keep happening), and we all have two days to figure out who the saboteur is and stop them before the emergency generators run outta juice and everyone suffocates! Also, there's a murderer going around killing people during blackouts! It's fine tho we caught them AND the saboteur eventually and saved the city yaaay
Okay NOW we get to the void dimension incident. Smile
So! Weird shit keeps happening all over the place and, while investigating the city for clues, we also keep running into cryptic and ominous hints about us all being in some way tied to each other through strings of fate (which btw. Fate is an actual fr goddess in this setting apparently, and this isn't our first time dealing with stuff related to her. Teehee).
One such instance happens when Button, our kobolt artificer, is separated from the rest of the party while escorting another npc friend of ours to her home in Nethermoore, and there's a blackout again. I don't remember EXACTLY how it happens bc it's been a hot minute, but they start getting barraged by old memories of their life and their missing mother (while miserably failing like every single wisdom saving throw they have to make, which was terrifying to watch), and then Something happens, described as them being pulled along a churning river, and then suddenly Button is Somewhere Else.
None of us still know where this Somewhere Else is, exactly, but it seems like. Some sort of weird ethereal voidspace thats like a pocket dimension of sorts, or at least some form of gateway to speak with an entity called the Assistant (or Auzzie, as Button eventually ends up taking to calling it). It seems connected to Fate in some way, and pulled Button into this space to speak with them; after a bit of a back-and-forth of questions and answers (most of which Auzzie is regretfully unable to answer, likely because revealing certain information could somehow mess up Something Important about our assigned task and our future), the entity tells Button that we (the party) Must stick together, as we are the Conduits of Fate, and also reveals that it has helped other Conduits in the past before, being a neutral party and a being made for assisting people like us. Basically, there's some destiny bullshit going on and we've been set on an Important Task Of Saving The World. Y'know. Normal d&d stuff.
Anyway, Auzzie cannot tell Button very much yet (even though it seems to have A Lot of knowledge about whatever's going on, as well as Knowing things about the rest of the party too), but seems amiable enough otherwise and allows them to leave the voidspace once their talk is concluded. Yay! Freedom!
But yeah our dm put on one of those slowed reverb ethereal remixes of clair de lune in the background for the scene where Button is navigating through the voidspace and talking to the Assistant and that's the context for that LMAO

Parentification of Acxa and her character was a big problem in vld fandom back in the day. I don’t see it much now (frankly I don’t see much at all in Acxa’s tag nowadays). But man, those days where everything related to Acxa was either character hate, wildly misreading her character, using her as Stock Female Character 37, the butt of Keith being “I’m gay actually” at her presumed crush that was never confirmed to be true, or forcing her to a nurturer that wasn’t something I’d expect from her.
Here’s the thing. Acxa is not a nurturing type at all. One of her most consistent traits on vld was the fact that she followed an ideology so hard she’d betray everyone around her including allies/friends even going as far as tolerant one friend killing their mutual friend if it meant in an abstract future their goal’d be met. For my Arcane mutuals/followers if you’re reading this, if it reminds you of anything think Sevika but without that one scene where she has a heart-to-heart with Silco. No scene between Acxa and Lotor (who’d be Silco) exists. In fact, the only notable scene between her and Lotor is one where Lotor berates her for an error he created, to contrast Keith and Shiro. That’s it. But that’s besides the point.
Acxa wouldn’t be the type to “nurture” Keith. When she saves Keith from a certain demise, her response to it is frustration. Mainly at herself for her inability to actually fulfill her version of the galra ideal.
Tumblr media
Even in s7 and s8, she’s willing to bomb her former friends if it meant saving the paladins, the only hope for the future in her mind. After this mission is complete, she sees no reason to follow, only appearing later on at the Atlas for some ambiguous reason. Heck, it could be argued that a version of the Grudge exists where in her “reconciliation” with Zethrid, she makes no amends between her and Ezor, instead, goads Zethrid into joining the Coalition for abstract goals again. This btw, was in the Spanish version of the episode. In the actual released version, her character development in the Grudge arguably hinges on her forgiving herself to reconcile with the others, which is a recent development. Again, that’s not a person prone to being nurturing. If anything, she’s extraordinarily pragmatic and had to learn to be more friendly/friend-minded. Which is a notable development, as we see later she’s with the MFEs in the Clear Day Celebration.
And that’s just ignoring how as a grown man who has spent time alone in a desert and later on a space whale with his estranged soldier-ninja mom, Keith doesn’t need to be nurtured. Heck, I’d say he’d reject it if such behavior would get in the way of the things he has to do. He’d respect Acxa for giving him the respect and distance she does in canon, and if they’re friends afterwards, they’d be content to share the mutual clown-to-clown communications with each other and that’s it.

Exalting Dragons in Lore
I just exalted some of my hatchlings from my breeding's I did (because I couldn't see myself liking the designs), but I was wondering about what to do with the lore.
What do you guys do with exalted lore dragons that have canonical relatives? The only two I have thought about is Soulcatcher's and Cinderella's lost unnamed child and Eos' brother, who stays close with his sister and they still communicate. I have other exalted relatives, but I haven't really decided what to do with them.
I like keeping my dragon lore accurate to what happens on the site/official lore, so I wanna keep what happened cannon. I'm Arcane, btw, if what you do/what you think I should do is related to a deity.

Since @parasite-core asked, I'll tell a bit about my OCs just like I said in the last post.
Kyaran Yaziegat might be the 1st or 2nd OC here that I created. She's a dark elf, that just like every other of her race, lives in Umbrahylion. All elves don't gain many muscles in general (tho it doesn't mean they're not strong) but she's is a monster indeed. Even at a young age, around 108, she's undoubtedly one of the strongest. The fact that her family is the "leader" of the town they live, and since she already did amazingly well at some Biannual Fighting Event, the Queen personally spoke with her already and got some interest over her.
A little bit about her and her family now. Her family is the most known on their town, and over the years also in other towns too, even in different caves. Not only because they're the "leader" (I'm not finding the best word to describe this lol), but also because the Yaziegats are known for the men being amazing warriors and the women amazing makers of fine jewerly and maybe clothes too. And as you can see, Kyaran broke that thing that tradition that has going on for over six generations once she asked her brothers to train her to be so good like them. Her parentsz basically mother who really disliked that, tried to not let it happen but Kyaran is really an arrogant bitch and didn't care about it. Dark elves are prideful, but she is over the top. She doesn't plan much attacks to other creatures not totally because she's stupid but because she believes she doesn't need it, since she's really strong. And she's right about it tho, she's really a monster when fighting. I have more plans for her, this is more like the "beginning".
I first created Arcane Naethyra (she/they) like "what if I was a fantasy creature?" and that's is why she is mostly an healer that also knows some magic, because I don't see myself being a fighter. I changed them over the time but never the base. Arcane is a (supposedly only) wood elf from Shelnöre, the capital of Leen Alora. And Naethyra are the Royal Family, which the current queen is their mother, Faline Naethyra, and they have five siblings. Tho she doesn't live there anymore. Some years ago, Arcane managed to run away without no one noticing, some people think she just disappeared, others think she's dead by now.
Arcane is the 3rd oldest, and before she had any younger sibling, Faline started to be a bit more rigid with her. Arcane was confused and a bit sad at first, but had hope that she was only being like that because she was the youngest, and so had more to learn. It reached a point where they became really happy when Faline announced she was pregnant: which meant, in some years Arcane wouldn't be the youngest and so her mother wouldn't be so stiff with her. It didn't really happen tho. Faline had later more two kids, twins, and she was always worst to Arcane, sometimes just with little stuff but Arcane always noticed that. Tired of living there and not being interested in possibly becoming heir some day, she ran away. Now she probably uses a fake name in some places, tho I don't have one for now lol.
Murtagh is still an OC I have to work more.. I did with everyone but yh. He is nothing inspired on Murtagh from IC btw hehe. (Don't blame me, I just didn't had inspo before to have so many OCs and I needed inspo. And now I can't let go of his name, I love it a lot). But anyways, Murtagh is an half-elf. His mother was the elf, and she never really knew she was pregnant of an half-elf and not elf (because you know, she had fun with an human but later with her bf elf too lol). Both her and the bf were kinda pissed to have an half-elf child, usually both humans and elf don't totally like them. The mother managed to find the actual parent, the dad, and left the newborn at his house the sooner she could. I don't have much about him sadly, I still need ideas. But his parent is sadly a bad man, and is somehow related to when Kyaran was locked in a dungeon. People tend to think he's mean because he's pretty introverted and is used to live on his own, but he's actually really nice and will help others with no strong big reason to do so. He travels quite a lot around too, but sometimes just stays at Guhan (the human kingdom) really.
I have more fantasy OCs I can talk about, but now for last is Knox Blackwood, also one that isn't so developed as Kyaran or Arcane but I still like him a lot. He's a human born somewhere in Guhan, his childhood was really bad since his father was awful to him and his mother never really did anything about it (she didn't know everything his father did but still). He got away from home maybe at the age of 15yrs old, somehow found some work to get money (tho he also stole money and jewerly mostly too) and some day he found a pirate that got him on the crew (yh I still need to think way more about this, but I want this idea). He stayed on that crew and liked almost everyone there, but some day it was attacked by witches, and almost everyone died. (I'm not sure if he was the only survivor, but probably yes. This is a bit too "clichê" imo but since I want something else to happen before he's in another crew, I'm thinking literally now after this attack it makes sense for that thing to happen, and so maybe everyone else would die really). But anyways, he hates witches. And years later he gets a ship on his own, and starts meeting new people and then he has his crew.
Nowadays his crew (I need to find a name for the crew/ship) is one of the most known on the pirate islands (that also need a name lol). People tend to think he's a bit of a joker maybe, but due to the way he acts, it becomes way easier for him to prank others and get what he wants because he's actually pretty smart. He's crew also calls him "smart fox" or "cunning", I think that's pretty explanatory. He could do almost anything to help his friends, and will almost always prefer to get a solution to a problem that isn't fighting. Random but not so random, he doesn't like that much physical touch, and might or might not get even more anxious if he's feeling stressed and someone tells him stuff like "Everything is fine".
I wrote more than what I expect but well, good luck reading that all haha
