Big Bad x AFAB!Princess!Reader || Drabble
Tumblr media
Plot: This lives in an AU where you live in a basic fairytale where you're saved from wolves by a prince and you're aware of this happening over... and over... and over again. Theirs not a whole lotta context, just wolf/princess love and smut (: Haha XD
Warnings: SMUT, wolfman/princess smut!, monster fucker/furry shit (I consider this guy half wolf, half man- considering how he runs on his two hind legs whereas Granny runs on all fours), knotting, one use of 'bitch', dirty talk, cumming inside, and loss virginity.
Tagging: - No one yet! But do let me know if you want to be tagged for wolf stuff XD
His eyes on you are heavy and boiling hot, that beautiful red dress for the ball that you picked out suddenly the most endangered species in the kingdom. You had never felt him look at you quite this hard before, no one period had look at you like this before. Certainly not the prince your fairytale seems hellbent on you ending up with all neat and tidy-like. All you had shared with him before were sweet kisses and waist touches even on your many wedding nights- and that was nice. Yes, it had been nice. Edward was sweet, and you were good friends.
But this, though, being looked at like a meal, was completely something else. This is what you expected it to feel like when Edward first saved you; red, hot, heat that made you clench and feel like you were burning from the inside. It didn't, and you thought it must have been something they talked about in stories but didn't really exist... until this moment.
"Sweetheart... that is a nice dress, I gotta say."
With a little giggle, your heart beating hard in your chest, you spread out the skirt a bit; looking down. "You think so?"
"Red... was the right choice. You look good enough to eat~ " The ever-present growl in his voice seemed even thicker now, even rougher, sending a rush straight through you.
"... I'd- I'd like to see you try."
You don't know what possessed you to say something like that but by the sharp, gnarled grin on Big Bad's maw you can tell that you said just the right words.
Just a moment passes of him looking at you with that devilish grin before he reaches over, takes a handful of your skirt and tugs you to him. His maw is much closer to you now, leaning in towards your ear and growling directly into it. It sends a shiver up your spine, every patch of your skin on edge. "... I can do that for you, sweetheart~ "
His large clawed hand trails over your body from sternum to groin- as if he were gutting you, without actually hurting you. You know he must have done the exact same thing on a lot of less-fortunate's and it thrills you. Taking a risk, you trickle your fingertips up his strong arms, his eyes following your hesitant little hands with an amused smirk, until you get to his broad, furry shoulders. Slowly and carefully raising onto your tip toes you give the big bad wolf, your villain, a gentle kiss on the tip of his snout.
"Aghhhh you trynta drive a wolf insane, little princess?... thats a dangerous game ya know?... You could get real hurt... "
"You've never actually hurt me before, B,.. " He's abducted you and he's kept you, threatened you and teased you,... but never, in the years and years that you've done this thing with him - this whole fairytale routine, - has he actually hurt you.
"No?... huh, I guess I haven't." He doesn't attempt to explain why he hasn't, he just smirks at you.
"... what do you wanna do to me?"
... Big Bad's grin slowly grows and his clawed hands suddenly clutch your hips, tugging you against him and thick stomach, now. You let out a yelp that makes his ears perk up.
"You wanna see? I can show ya."
Taking a deep breath, and thinking about the script you've known your whole life - you get abducted by the wolves, you get kept by the wolves, you get saved from them and never look back, - and you nod. "I do." You're tired of that script. It never felt quite right.
"Oh sweetheart we are gonna have some fun... this has been comin' for a long time, dontcha think?... Now be a good little bitch and pull up that pretty dress for me."
Face hot, you take a deep breath and bite on your bottom lip as you think about it for just a second more before being obedient and doing what your villain just asked- no, told you to. Meanwhile Big Bad sticks his snout in your neck and your hair and takes a deep sniff; his eyes rolling backwards into his skull as the smell goes straight to his head like a drug. He lets out an awfully moving groan. "B- "
"Aghhhh Y/N- you don't know how long its been since I had a princess~ " He speaks directly into your ear and it makes you feel helpless- but not to him. To your own damn needs.
Before you can do anything though, Big Bad goes and sits himself down heavily on the ground and, looking up at you, pats his lap. You quickly get down with him, setting yourself eagerly on top of him. Your skirts, picked out for a ball that he is certainly not invited to, billowing out around you both like a crimson pool. Eagerly he digs down between you both and into his ragged old pants, held together by a piece of rope, and pulls right out his... um... man-part.
And- you've never seen one of them before! Certainly not one that's half man, half wolf. You're wide eyed, blinking at it getting pumped and wondering how that horrifying thing is supposed to fit. He notices your quiet shock-horror and uses his free hand to lift your chin up; Your adorable round eyed look connecting with the devious look on his mug. "... that's huge."
"Heh. Well, its gonna get bigger sweetcheeks."
"What!?- "
"Shh, promise, sweetheart, I got this. Just relax, and uh... heh, tell me if I claw at you a too hard, yeah? Like I toldya, its been a while... "
Swallowing nervously, you touch your fingers to the tip of it; the slit. The head is a bulbous thing, feeling wet and hot and firm. The touch makes your over-sensitive wolf growl again, the sound a frustrated melody from deep in his chest and makes your eyes shoot up to his face again. You open your mouth to ask if that's okay- when he flings your hand away from him and suddenly uses his own hand (Paw?) to shove his tip against your slick slit.
"Drivin' me effin crazy- Now, listen to me here doll, I got something important ta say." Big Bad holds up a finger and taps your nose with it then, making you pay attention to him. Which is hard, with his heavy knot resting on your clit. Your lips are parted and you already feel dumb, listening to him. "I'll be careful with ya the first few strokes... but after that I wont be able ta control myself... basic instinct, and all that~ You got that?"
"... yeah."
"Good~ Now c'mere."
~
True to his word, he pushes past your limits slow the first few times... gritting his teeth and watching his full length disappear into your sweet heat; Deep eyes flickering up to your face to check how you're going with it- but it wasn't long until this huge wolf-man was pounding your pussy like a man absolutely starved. Ravenous.
Feral.
"Bet your prince never had you like this," He growls, thrusting roughly into your cunt and slamming all the way to the hilt. "Bet he never even touched you."
All the humour you've come to know Big Bad for is gone, leaving behind just a wolf. A possessive wolf in desperate need to make you hit mate and mark you in every possible way so no one else even looks at you ever again. His claws are leaving scrapes on your soft hips, his teeth leave wounds on your neck that he soothes with his tongue, his sweat leaves a scent you wont be able to shake for the ball later. "He'll never touch you."
You're holding a hand tight over your mouth to keep from screaming, the pleasure of having your hole stretched and pummeled all too much for you. The knot on his cock stretches you all the way inside and every thrust delivers a perfect stroke to your swollen clit. Your hips roll desperately against his.
"Sweetheart you are the sweetest fucking thing I've ever been in. Perfect. Fucking- aghhhh. I'm gonna make you drip my cum for days."
"Ah- "
"Next time you come ta the cottage... you'll be able to scream as loud as you want. I don't care what anyone thinks, listenin' in. They're gonna think I'm fucken eating you whole with how loud I'll train ya to be for me. I wanna hear those squeals~" He licks your throat where he made you bleed with his teeth, groaning at the taste of your blood, and your hips actually stutter.
He starts to beat your cunt even harder, pounding into you with all the pent-up sexuality of a man who's been lusting for years, drawing you to a mind blowing feeling better then cake. Something hot explodes inside you, which feels good too as you come down from the amazing feeling and your heartbeat continues to beat fast- but you're finally able to take in some deep breaths. Begin to calm down again.
Big Bad does the same thing, breathing heavily and smirking at your cute exhausted form on his lap- still with his cock buried inside you. He cant see it over his generous tummy, but he can feel you throbbing on him.
"Heh... you know sweetheart?.. this is my new favourite dress a'yours."
Giving a tired laugh, you run a hand through your hair. "So, u-uh... what now?"
"Well, its gonna take a while for my thing to relax enough fa you to release me~ Heheh. So ya stuck with me for a few more minutes."
A smile warms to your face at that news, squeezing the knot inside you and making the smirk flicker from his face momentarily. "... good." You always loved your time spent with him better then your happy ending, anyway. It can wait.

Is the DHMIS Gem AU mostly wholesome like Steven Universe, or does it have some grim things happening to the main characters?
I'd argue Steven Universe has a plethora of really dark moments and concepts that get overlooked or aren't dwelled on too hard due to having Steven as the center focus, so in that way, yes, it's exactly like Steven Universe 😂 But in all seriousness, while the overall plot isn't as concrete and developed YET (mostly from being a relatively recent creation, compared to something like, say, my KGTV Gem AU, which is also significantly darker and flavourably edgier in terms of themes, but we're not here to talk about that) I'd say it's a lot more domestic slice of life than anything else. It's actually pretty close to the Orphanage AU in that regard, haha. 
I don't wanna leave you with that short of an answer so, uh, here's some of my brainstorming attempt doodles. 
Tumblr media
Sketchbook is a glass prism because light refraction makes rainbows out of something that's clear, and drawing in a sketchbook makes something pretty out of empty pages. That's it, that's my logic. Theoretically Sketchbook could have been an iris agate as well, but I left that option for one of the fusions instead. Bit of an off-colour, but aren't they all… 
Tony is a blue star sapphire, because sapphires in the show are associated with time through their future vision (or past vision, in Padparadscha's case) so it's reasonable to assume a star sapphire would be as well. Also an excuse to keep his face markings, to be honest. Not quite satisfied with the gem colour-wise but who's gonna stop me from taking artistic liberties on that? 
Shrignold is a permafusion of a Rhodochrosite (associated with love, has variants that go from Sugary Pastel Pink to Raw Meat which I trust I don't have to explain in relation to Shrignold, haha) and an Aquamarine (considering the aquamarines already present in the show, butterfly theme and all), making a butterfly jasper (for obvious reasons). 
Colin and Laptop are quartzes, because quartz is commonly used in computers and stuff (and to keep time!), at least as far as I know. It's a deviation from the show because I was never fond of the whole "every gem of this type has the same role and looks and body type and corrupted form" for quartzes especially. I had to actively keep myself from making them heinrichites because it looks like a circuit board and, well, you know. Computers! And for some reason I automatically associate anything lime green with Colin even though there is nothing lime green about him. But who knows, maybe I'll go back on that decision, everything I say is still subject to change. Gilbert is also there, by the way. He's an Azurite-Malachite. 
Spinach Can is a moldavite, Lambchop is a red agate, Bread Boy is a bronzite, and I'm a bit on the undecided in terms of what Fridge ought to be. I sort of settled on scolecite. Didn't want to make it something as obvious as literal ice. Finally, Lamp Guy is a blue goldstone. It looks like a night sky, that's obvious enough 😂 
🤫🤫🤫 
Both Yellow and Special One are half-gems, a childrenite and a pink petalite respectively. Roy isn't a gem in this one, but you know me, I do love my AU variations, even if they don't ultimately lead to anything proper. He is inherently a citrine though, if you're wondering. And that's my favourite gem C:

Me: Okay, I’m going to need my A-Team (& Lucion) for Chapter 20, so the B-Team can handle Chapter 19 right?
Chapter 19: You will suffer for your hubris
#vestaria saga ii#Chapter 19 was Ouron's day in the spotlight (although at least 2 resets were also his fault)#(though that's probably not too bad considering how many resets were for Amlute & Barzy)#A Cav with 10 Mobility and no movement penalties is very very nice#Unfortunately because of the deployment situation and me needing to save certain units for the next map#this map ended up very lopsided on healers#as in it got most of them.#I only have Lilia and Orphelia for the next one and Orphelia is probably going to need to stay mounted for the duration!#(i probably should have deployed Penneloupe instead of Karajan here but.... i like keeping the Penne/Sheela/Zayid trio together)#(honestly the person i actually wanted to deploy here was Baymonk but he and Ashram have a convo in Ch 20 so he's needed there >.>)#(and my other choice Lucian is also needed so he can be promoted)#(and uh support bonuses I guess.... I'm not keeping him around for his stats! xD)#Anyway I owe a huge apology to Laffine for calling her discount Merida. she kind of is but she was an MVP this map!#also an MVP: the Seriatim Bow! Amlute & Ouron had a lot of fun with that!!!#meanwhile Nelke earned the 3rd piece of item repair following Slayne & Drake for her Again staff#also she has reached level 30... and is still completely outclassed by the level 10ish Lilia#I'm sorry Nelke! you're doing your best!!#4th piece of thaumite is going to Zade and then there are 2 left! Phoeve has dibs on 1 and the last one... maybe Ezrel?#i switched to the save where i did not buy the staff and bought extra weapons and OH BOY DO I LIKE THE DECISION AFTER SEEING CH 20!#there are SO MANY SHOPS! Barzy earned some cash in the last map but I hope I will be able to afford things in this one!!!

So either I have seen more or read more Haruhi than I remember because there are definitely things I remember engaging with that are. apparently not in the first light novel.
Hm.
I know I did some scouring for extra stuff at some point. I don't think I read the other light novels. But there was a point where I binged a LOT of anime on crunchyroll (multiple times. actually. This is how I found Anohana, I think! During one of the binge cycles!), so...maybe I skipped past what I'd read?
I know I didn't finish it, though.
Hm.

The hermits keep complaining about storage so I wanted to show off my starter storage that so far has been absolutely enough and even has room to expand and I'm at level 18! I don't know how they have such trouble with this, but I also love sorting everything xP

And then I accidentally made an AU...
Tumblr media
I'm a sucker for Edo-period things so I got to thinking, well, what if...
The boys are some...Yōkai hybrid (I'm not going for accuracy here, everything is super-loose) and they basically get adopted by the Hamato Clan. Yeah, that's supposed to be Yoshi, I just borrowed off his teen haircut, haha!
I have this problem about wanting to nail down details before I do things (this is why I don't GM games, I get really carried away with trying to come up with well...everything- and the problem is trying to come with the everything XD;;)
As a fan of the series "Amatsuki" I was thinking the whole enmity between humans and yōkai thing would be interesting to go off.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have been picking at ideas and nothing is completely solid except for me wanting to make them spikier, lol. I'm not outright making them kappa- let's be real, those things are weeeird. But the lads are more claw-ier and I gave the water boys webbing. And I just like making Donnie's shell spinier I guess. I did not put their usual markings because I was going to do something with kanji and tattoos for Reasons but I am very bad at kanji and I'm going for something more stylistic anyway so anyway gotta figure out stuff to stick on their arms.

I might ditch the hakama but I thought it was fun. My Bleach days are showing lol.
...I need to stop posting after midnight.

Get Off My Screen!
Vox x CollegeStudent!Reader
A/N: I'm doing this cuz someone wanted to see my shitposty idea hahaha, I hope it's not too OOC but oh well- I hope someone could write a proper fic with this since I don't trust my writing much HAHAHAHA
A/N: I'll also be doing this from the reader's POV for now. Just message me or request if you wanna see Vox's POV since it might be too long if I include his thingy in this post XD
College life is fun, do doubt about that; from the parties to the friends you make- it truly was unforgettable.
Even if you did study a lot, wanting to get high marks- you had time to indulge every once in a while and goof off with friends.
It made you a star student on paper- but nearly bordering troublesome with your chaotic behavior.
You were lucky to never have been caught with their shenanigans.
But of course your friends just had to push it.
A new ghost hunting hype trend surfaced online and they were convinced that they had to get into it.
You said it was a bad idea, getting into stuff you didn't know.
Your friends brushed you off and all piled into the attic of your parents' home.
Of course, your parents were more than happy to explain some things before leaving your group to their devices.
They've been messing with the... "paranormal" for most of their lives.
You just chose not to believe it.
It wasn't like there was proof aside from heresay anyways.
Your friends proceed to mess with the ouija board they found, among other probably possessed things.
You found it all way too creepy to be honest.
Especially that old CRT TV that was just sitting in the corner.
It was an old thing you remembered using, but it always glitched and stuttered when you were a kid.
Even if there wasn't actually anything wrong with it according to the technicians that tried to fix it over the years.
Your friends started screaming before you could really reminisce.
"WHO'S MOVING IT?!"
"I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING-"
"IT'S MOVINNGGGGGGG-"
The fact the ouija board was actually reacting slightly freaked you out.
You managed to calm your friends from bombarding the thing with questions before asking what actually mattered.
"What's your name?"
V... O... X...
That didn't sound like a demon name you were even vaguely familiar with, at least off the top of your head.
Then of course that creepy TV from your childhood turned on by itself.
Your friends were screaming bloody murder at this point.
You didn't even realize the fuss until you saw the darn thing was unplugged.
You freaked out too, bolting down the attic stairs with your friends quickly in tow.
It was smooth sailing afterwards, your parents assuring you that nothing would happen.
Your friends stayed for dinner until they had to go.
You were about to retire for the night as well until you realized you couldn't find your phone.
Everywhere you looked, it wasn't there.
That left one place.
The attic.
By the time you gathered the courage to return, everything seemed just fine.
The TV was finally turned off, how and why- you didn't bother enough to know.
So you picked up your phone off the floor and just headed to your room.
Only to practically get jumpscared when you opened your phone.
WHO PUT A FRIGGIN WEIRD GLITCHY SMILEY ON YOUR WALLPAPER?!
Annoyed, you switched it back before plugging it into the charger.
Come morning, you had a bone to pick with your lot of friends.
Because not only was your phone stuck with the wallpaper problem, soon were all your devices.
You tried everything, restarting your stuff, running an antivirus, even getting it professionally checked.
Nothing.
And the problem continued to persist.
Now at your wits' end, you figured whatever entity was messing with your gadgets could at least converse with you through said gadgets.
So you opened a blank notepad on your laptop, nearly glaring at the screen while waiting for something to happen.
Five minutes passed and nothing happened.
"OH YOU CRAPPY PIECE OF TECH JUST DO SOMETHING!"
Even more waiting and still nothing.
Eventually you just decided to type something up on the notepad in impatience.
"I know you're in there. Stop messing with me."
And to your surprise, something finally replied.
"Oh I know, you're just fun to mess with doll."
What. The. Fuck.
And that was how you met him.
Vox, the tech overlord demon, months ago.
When he infected your phone, then consequently the rest of your electronics too.
Since then he's been an annoying thorn in your side.
Well... or even a welcome distraction.
Maaaaybe even an odd Omegle Buddy?
Who even still does those?
Either way, you never had to use spellcheck again whenever doing your work.
Nor did you consult Google as often either.
As rude and annoying as he was, Vox was quite helpful when it came to paperwork.
Not that you didn't know much about him, on some days you would both just chat using the notepad.
He hated some radio guy named "Alastor"?
You would laugh if you weren't so tired.
Depending on Vox's mood, he was either tolerable or a downright prick.
Fighting over control of the cursor was also pretty common occurrence.
Vox practically living in your gadgets forced you to learn at least basic software care and programming.
The guy also ended up sorting your files!
You'd be more thankful if he wasn't so bitchy about your file arrangement anyway.
It wasn't that bad.
You want to call him your virtual friend- but he's more like an annoying virus that throws hissy fits from time to time.
Even if said hissy fits were either excessive amounts of lag or mostly obstructive visual glitches and pop ups.
The little shit was also constantly messing with you during class.
Not that he cared enough even if you told him you were, he'd still be messing with your notes or even your files every now and then.
You stopped trying to change wallpapers after you realized he kept switching them back to his grinning face.
Let's not even mention his multitude of custom emojis stuck in your device.
How that got there, you didn't care enough to figure out.
What a weirdo.
Though him constantly interacting with your software gave you an idea.
You saw your friend fawning over a thing called a "desktop pet" just a little ago in class.
They chose to get a virtual slime.
It piqued your interest after you saw it was interactive too.
And knowing that Vox liked to mess with your operating systems a lot, you decided to try and get one to see what he'd do.
You got the basic one, just a random anime "chibi" or so it was labeled on the website.
It walked around and did some emotes before a notepad opened up with a message.
"What the fuck is that."
"My new desktop companion, do you like it?"
You didn't get a reply so you just left to grab a snack.
You weren't even surprised with what you came back to.
Vox was already using the cursor to bully the desktop pet you downloaded.
Either throwing it around or just repeatedly spam clicking it so it fell over.
The sonova bitch-
You kind of expected it, just leaving Vox to do his thing while you went to take a nap.
Only, you didn't realize you would be coming back to a new custom desktop pet and an open note.
"You're welcome~"
If that was what Vox looked like, you couldn't deny it was cute.
Or at least the small desktop pet made it seem so.
It was a striking design for sure-
Did he have a monitor for a head??
Oh that explains the face on your screen wallpapers.
You didn't realize until too late that Vox could interact with you using the desktop pet either.
Sometimes the things he did were cute with it, like the emotes that were installed on the thing.
Or he was just a little shit closing your windows or dragging them off screen before you could notice and stop him.
He was an annoying bastard-
But you kept him around anyways.
A/N: I really had fun writing this thing, it hasn't gone romantic since I didn't know if I wanted it to go that route so this is more of a friendly thing? Either way I might write Vox's POV sooner or later this was a really fun idea HAHAHAHA
A/N: Vox's POV is here!! :3

I've started making my way through the playlist hbomberguy made of actually good video essays by queer creators and spotted a comment of yours on the one about the relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, which was fun xD red in the wild!
Anyways, just wanted to appreciate how both you and Blue and you are very good at showing your sources! It's always nice to know that the people you've watched for years have good habits after an event like this, and I hope you guys are among the people that get some new fans after this whole debacle, because your channel definitely qualifies for "good educational videos made by queer people"
I'm glad! Blue's much better about listing his sources and follow-up reading than I am.
To be honest, I loved the video, but my imposter syndrome always flares like crazy when I watch an essay like that. It might be the ADHD or it might just be who I am as a person, but I feel like I've lived my whole life striving to make everything I do the best it can be, and still managing to fuck up and get criticised for things I could've done better if only I never missed anything. It's an actual gut-drop when it turns out a source I used wasn't trustworthy, or when in older videos I only went wiki-deep for some claims and didn't check every source to be 100% sure I wasn't being goat-fish'd. And this being the internet, I can get criticized at any time for things I've gotten wrong years ago, since it's evergreen online and to the new-viewing critic it's as fresh as yesterday. It makes it hard for me to stay proud of my work past the first moment of "oh I would've done that different now". There's a cocktail of complicated, scary feelings around this space, no matter how little I actually have in common with the bad guys of this scenario - it's less about the reality and more about who my imposter syndrome tells me I am. I saw several people saying that the video actually made them feel much better about their own work because it made it clear that accidental plagiarism on that scale is impossible, but if my anxieties listened to reason I would've successfully machete'd them out of my skull years ago. I just hope I never fuck up badly enough to deserve an hbombing of my own.
But my own stress aside, the hbomb essay exposed a level of laxness, laziness and entitlement on the part of these plagiarists that I think is almost incomprehensible to people who actually create for a living or even just the joy of it. How hollow do you have to be to take in someone else's writing and not consider it, digest it, let it reshape your views and then formulate your own interpretation on it, but instead to file off the serial numbers and pretend it's yours, trusting that the person whose thoughts and words you valued enough to steal will never be powerful enough to call you out on it? I go down research rabbit holes because I love the frustration and thrill of putting something together! How joyless it must be to skim the surface and borrow someone else's conclusions!
I've sometimes had people email asking for sources on parts of my interpretation of various myths, possibly in the interest of source-citing for school papers (a nightmare concept in and of itself) and with very few exceptions I usually have to tell them "the only sources were the english translations I used of the primary source where the myth was originally written, like I said in the video, and the part where I said I was conspiracy-boarding has no source other than my own analysis of the given source, which is why I called it conspiracy-boarding" and I was always a little baffled by those emails - half the videos are introduced like "this is The Prose Edda" or "this is in Ovid's Metamorphoses" or "this bit is Hesiod" so what else could they want - but seeing the hbomb of the week made me realize that truly original analysis might not be what most people are expecting from a "thing summarized." They might be expecting a compilation of other people's summaries instead.

I saw that you need ideas, so how about a yandere from the Neons? I mean, I would like to see more content from them since they represent the elements in Honkai star rail, by the way, sorry if you don't understand, my English is bad... I leave you a little drawing of a masculine makima (it has nothing to do with it, but as a gift ) xd Also, I don't know if I'm the only one, but Nanook makes me handsome >///<

(Sorry, I had already finished it but the work was stained hahaha and I did it again)
Yus the Aeons are so cool looking!! You really feel like they’re actual gods of the universe, especially since you don’t see them first hand (at least for now). Also Masculine Makima reminds me of Karma Akabane lol. I’ll draw it in my style, and add it here as an extra for you ♥️
Hb we mash those two topics up together actually?
warnings: mild yandere themes. mild spoilers for csm. major canon divergence. reader takes the shape of a masc/amab character but it isnt their original form.
status: unedited. updated art.

YANDERE! AEONS + VARIOUS! HSR x AEON OF FEAR/CONTROL! READER
Tumblr media
You have no memory of your conception, only that you started existing for what felt like an eternity.
You represented fear and despair, but unlike IX whose mere presence drove humanity into insanity, or the rest of your fellow aeon’s godlike status amongst the world,
you walked around as a normal, ordinary human being.
As normal as an Aeon can get anyways.
In your current lifetime, you took the shape of Himeko’s “brother”, planting fake memories into her mind and being the one that urged her to travel the stars. While she was the navigator, you took the role of conductor before creating Pompom to supplant you.
Welt always knew you weren’t just a regular person. Your eyes always felt distant, so far off that not even a century’s worth of trail blazing would allow him to come close. As such he mostly kept cordial relations with you.
The youngsters of the bunch on the other hand, never seemed to realize the sheer magnanimity of the danger you held and always hung around you.
Particularly that Caelus. The newest addition to the crew. The stellaron within him always pulsed in some sort of giddiness and excitement whenever you were around. The boy couldn’t help but be a nervous wreck when he was around you. Stuttering and stumbling was a common occurrence whenever you so decide as to just breathe at his direction.
You knew what those Stellarons are, their nature, their purpose, the way they were created. In fact if you wanted to, you could have taken the Astral Express straight to the source of it all, your partner: Nanook.
However that would have ruined the fun of it all. So you chose to let them have their little adventures before the final confrontation.
Also because you signed a contract to not meddle with Nanook’s business in exchange for your freedom. But that was another story to tell.
“Why . . . why do you continue this farce? This utterly worthless play?”
IX’s voice rang within your ears and no one else’s. You were the only being it ever gave the time of day to. You imagine it to be the reason why insanity slowly built itself within the recesses of your head.
“You may see the entire universe as worthless . . . but I,” You breath hitched. You looked around your room. Time was frozen. Everything turned grey. You weren’t afraid of the others in the express hearing you, just that the following words you were about to spout out felt like bile on your mouth. “I suppose I’m still a bit like them in a way. I wish to see the world without its evils.”
“And destroying them. That is my first step.” You summon an orb of golden light. Stellarons. The creation of the very thing that made you loath all evil. Including yourself. You will eradicate these and then Nanook yourself. One day.
“Is that why you send those hunters out?”
“Perhaps.” The orb within your hands get covered in chains, quickly getting crushed within the metal like substance as it soon disappeared.
“Do as you wish. Just do not bother me like that imbecile.”
“I promise. I will be much worse than Yaoshi.”
IX remained silent for several seconds, no doubt regretting its decision of associating with you before adding, “. . . And do not die.”
“That one I cannot guarantee.”
Your room’s color returns, time continues. Signaling the end of two Aeons’ encounter.
Nanook, the Aeon that threatened to eradicate all that you love. All so they could have your soul once more. Within your gilded cage. Within your original body that lied dormant.
The Destruction will no longer be a path. That is a guarantee you write upon the stars when your Trail Blazing lifetime eventually comes to a close.
The stage is set, your actors ready.
All you needed was the cue.
Your gloved hand arose, pointing towards the express’s windows in the shape of a gun.
“Bang.”

Now that I'm finally home from work, I want to take 2 seconds to gush about my favorite writing books: The Writers Helping Writers series by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi.
Tumblr media
I am so lazy when it comes to descriptions so these have been lifesavers.
I'll literally go through my WIP during editing to add little emotional tells, which adds SO MUCH and also prevents my characters from constantly shrugging, sighing, and eyerolling as they are wont to do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(two of my favorite pages lol)
Plus there are setting thesauruses! I love these so much because I am so bad at setting descriptions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wanna traumatize a character? There's a thesaurus for that too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can tell I'm an angst writer, can't you 😂
They also have a website with even more description inspo: thesaurus collection
Anyway, these are soooo good and incredibly handy and fun and I love them a lot XD

Seeing the kings reactions over the KingxSeraph shenanigans Mc did is soo funny specially lucifer XD
Out of context we need to see the seraph's reaction accidentally reading/getting recommended of that fanfiction while they're in heaven and they didn't know who tf wrote it lol
Let's just say that Eligos thought you how to code and showed you how easy it is to hack into Heaven's system. Of course, you, as a responsible adult, sent the angels a worm with the fanfiction you wrote of them.
Gabriel was scrolling through his phone to try and prove Michael wrong on something when he recieved a mail.
Michael: I'm telling you, Bethlehem is written with a 'th' not with a 't'
Gabriel: Shut up! Just because I have 'dyslexia' doesn't mean I'm illeterate! Let me look it up on my pho- OH MY LORD, GOD SENT ME AN EMAIL!
Michael, shocked but still intrigued: Wait, really? What does it say?!
Gabriel tries to control his growing arousel as he clears his throat and recites: My dear Gabriel, I apologise for the long wait. The hotel I'm @ doesn't have good internet connection. Here is a vision I had while sleeping 2night.
Raphael: Not to shit on your parade, but that doesn't sound like God to me
Gabriel: Did I say, Raphael, that you are a disgrace to angel kind. You should have been the one to fall, not Lucifer. Anyways!
Gabriel proceeds to read the fanfictions out loud with an increasingly confused voice. Michael knocks Gabriel's phone off and stomps on it to Gabriel's dismay.
Michael: That isn't God. God woundn't write something so unruly!
Gabriel: Those filthy demons! That's it! This time, I'll slay them all. I'm getting my whole army.
Raphael: Violence my beloved.
All the seraphim attack with an enraged look on their face. Except Raphael, he just has a boner and kills for the fun of it. Overall, bad idea, don't send smut to the angels while pretending to be God.
