#a court of lost things

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 175

Talon -William Cobb, that was his name once, he remembers that much at least- stares down blankly at the small child who is clinging to its -his His HIS- pant leg, tiny claws digging into the cloth and gripping onto the armor. It he freezes, unsure as to how to react. With Hunts or Orders, the talon knew exactly what to do. Entertain. Kill. Simple. 

Talons were supposed to kill witnesses, he- IT knows this, especially as one of the oldest talons that belonged to the Court. Yet the talon hesitates, something stopping it from doing so. The child looks up at it, something oh so familiar about the motion, with blue-green eyes before burying their face against its- his?- leg. 

“'̵m̸ ̵c̴o̷l̵d̸…” the child-chick… spoke? Not-spoke. Something else, familiar-yet-not. But cold, he knew that. Cold was bad, it meant sleep, not rest but a deep frozen sleep that took time to awaken from. A dangerous thing. A thing not-talons didn’t wake up from. 

The chick -Hadn’t he had a child once, all that time ago- whined, bringing its-his attention back to them. Talon could wait to return to the Court for a few hours more- the task it had been given was already complete-and keep the Cold away from the tiny chick. Just for a little bit. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #court of owls #talons #Talons are Halfas #Danny has his accident way younger & is like 9 or 10 #Fun Fact William Cobb is Dick Grayson’s great-something grandfather #But he appears to be a similar age thanks to the whole frozen glass coffin things #Anyway with how many people have Danny as Dick’s clone/sibling I bet he’d remind Cobb of his own children #Danny accidentally floated intangibly in his sleep while on a trip and got lost #Thankfully he woke up & found this weird-but-safe-feeling dude half hidden by some gargoyles #Bad news: The bats might be searching for the one behind a murder that they’re quickly realizing might be Court BS #Iffy News: The Fentons are now out of Gotham without realizing Danny floated out of the GAV #Maybe Good News: William’s sick core has imprinted on Danny’s & vice versa #Dangerous News: There is now a broody talon out and about away from the Courts control

aftg is wild because kevin says "give your game to me." and "close your eyes and tell me what you see" and neil just says "you." and andrew has to watch the whole thing. and then andrew is the one he falls for.

Will probably expand on this when I'm not at work...but just thinking about Steve having a flare up in front of his parents for the first time post springbreak from hell. And his parents not knowing what the fuck is happening to their son, who can't move or even breathe because of the pain and is tearing up but not crying either. He is stuck in the most uncomfortable position but any moving causes extreme pain and he is already at the peak. But maybe Wayne or Hop come by and the Harrington's watch their son be cared for. And it hits them. Their son grew up without them. And if they want a relationship with him they have to make the first move. And maybe step on is learning how to help their son with his chronic pain, learning his tells & helping him with his migraines. Maybe it's getting him to the specialists he needs and helping him feel comfortable with his glasses and hearing aids.

Just thinking about it...

#steve harrington #stranger things #zerowrites #steve and his parents #they will try #they may fail a few times #but they realize that the relationship isnt lost #its just up to them #steve has done his best but they never wanted it #so now the ball is in their court #i want Steve to have parents who try #even though they werent the best

I have an intimate truth to share: I think Sunday would be a very cute name for a shoni baby who lives on a farm with her two moms. Sunday Shalifoe??? They could call her Sunny!! C’mon it writes itself!! And if she looked just like Shelby?? The material is there!! 😭😭😭

#also I think the idea of the B-side of the wilds (s3-4) taking place in the future and flashing back to the bunker and post-bunker times #would’ve been very interesting if like shoni are together living on a farm with their little baby having this happy private life only to be #dragged back into drama with the rest of the girls who maybe they haven’t seen or spoken to in sometime all because of Gretchen finally #being caught and them having to go to court and we learn through the flashbacks that shoni lost touch but reconnected some time after being #for real rescued and and flashbacks that go a little further back reveal that maybe Shelby kept quiet about something or helped Gretchen ge #away or simply as a reward for not saying something to the fbi back when they were rescued Gretchen gives Shelby Toni’s information which i #the whole catalyst and reason they were able to reconnect and it puts a big strain on their current relationship when it’s revealed cuz #Toni thot their reunion was one of genuine chance like the universe randomly bringing them back together but turns out that’s not true bc #Shelby clearly sought her out and then ofc through flashbacks that go all the way back to bunker times it’s revealed Shelby was working as #confederate which is just another thing she lied to Toni and the others about and right when you really think shits going sideways and thei #marriage is going to implode from all this there’s ANOTHER dramatic reveal which is like the real reasons behind Shelby agreeing to be a #confederate which probably have something to do with Martha and the court case or Toni’s mom or something in the vein and Toni realizes tha #Shelby did it for her/to protect her and then shoni is back on baybeee cuz that’s her baby mama frfr!!!!! #the wilds #long winded and full of holes but that’s all I got #toni shalifoe #goodfoe #shelby x toni #shoni #shelby goodkind #Toni x Shelby #shoni baby

Can you explain Strange Someone Frisk’s motivations a bit more? I don’t really understand how they could go from being a nice supportive kid to tampering with things in DR

well frisk Does appear to be nice and nonviolent even without the SOUL’s control (sans saying “even when you ran away you did it with a smile” and seemingly feeling guilty for taking more than one piece of candy (the bowl tipping over and the narration saying “you felt like the scum of the earth”(unless that’s just chara trying to guilt them/you)) and we know from deltarune that while the SOUL controls what frisk and kris do, where they walk and what they say, it doesn’t control how they say things, like kris saying things sarcastically/confusedly/as a joke when it’s a choice they don’t particularly agree with (like the “perish” being said enthusiastically, or saying they’d go to the festival w ralsei or noelle and not sounding like the Actually Want To).

and similarly to kris ithink ss frisk feels. lost. without the soul. in the context of the au, frisk doesn’t remember anything before falling into mt ebott. idk it’d they even remember their life before that day. idk if they even had one. they maybe convinced themself that they were literally made for their role, and didn’t exist before then. maybe them causing problems through the secret bosses is them trying to get the SOUL’s attention, bc the SOUL’s influence is all they know, and they know the SOUL is here now.

they’re messed up in a similar fashion as jevil and spamton (and presumably the other secret bosses we have yet to meet) but where as they were Told by frisk about their roles as characters in a story, and jevil’s method of coping being that he’s “free”, and spamton’s is by trying to escape, frisk was made aware by their firsthand experience, and has turned to telling the secret bosses. and well, while i don’t know Why frisk would let this knowledge upon them when they’d been previously kindhearted, maybe it has to do w like. their life being entirely upended by the game ending and being shunted out of that universe as a result. maybe they feel cheated. maybe they feel that doing good isn’t worth it. maybe they feel like they can’t do good without the SOUL telling them to do so. maybe they don’t even realize or think that what they’re doing is causing harm, maybe they think that telling them What’s Really Up is a good thing. they did actually help spamton, for a time.

think that makes flowey’s plea for the player not to reset, to leave the game alone let frisk have their happy ending, kinda. ironic. not that resetting Would Have done them any favors either.

also if i was made fully aware that my life was little more than a means to tell a story i think I’d snap a little bit too. my life is a game maybe I am tired of being nice, maybe I do just want to go apeshit. maybe I’ll cause some problems on purpose

#also this reminded me. on the comic w ss frisk and flowey talking and frisk thinking they don’t deserve a happy ending anymore #frisk forgives him but not themself bc of their differing circumstances #frisk feels like now that they’re doing Bad Things after having don’t Good Things that weren’t their own choices that they just. arent good #they KNOW what it’s like to do good. they HAVE done good. now they arent #frisk hasn’t been told how trauma can effect poeple and that healing isn’t linear. sad ! /ref #flowey was able to undo the harm he did at a moments notice when he would save and reset. he can’t anymore and hes doing better now. he’s a #he’s acknowledged his wrongdoings and worked to fix them post game #i couldn’t really get into that bc i lost the canvas in A Cropping Accident #sorry I’m beginning to feel incoherent idk if any of what im saying or have said makes any sense #i have a commission to work on and i have been here typing for like half an hour!!! goodbye now #the monarch’s court

i need to constantly remind myself that writing fanfiction is not the same as writing a publishable novel and i don't need to do hours of research on something which no one would even know was innaccurate 😭

#right now this is about timezones #but previously it has been about things like: when was a cast-iron skillet invented? #when was this specific tennis match that occured over two years ago held? date? time? location? court number? #what was the hierarchical leadership structure of the spartan army? #what did the trophy from xyz competition look like? #what language to they use casually in [insert various multilingual countries here]? #player a lost to player b back in 2019...how big of an upset was this at the time? #and so on and so forth

cmon their fathers were both kings they had to have met in their early years at least once

#im a little in love with earwen despite the fact that they say almost nothing about her in silm #and finarfins my special little guy. i am squeezing him like a stress ball #anyways i will die on the hill that they knew eachother for a very long time before the idea of courting eachother even came to mind #also i need to get more comfortable with drawing bigger bc aras crown thing was a pain in the ass #anyways #tolkien #silmarillion #the silmarillion #earwen #eärwen #finarfin #arafinwe #arafinwë #i love them a normal amount #also realizing that during the two month period when i got depressed and didnt draw that i lost a ton of skill #so im trying to get back into art again #xiphoids art

the thematic / motif-y vibes of the court of craft being associated with a court of lost things … lowkey potentially foreshadowing the court of craft being reformed and rejuvenated and revitalized through lost souls and found family …. :’)

#anyone else getting those vibes #acofaf #dimension 20 #d20 #a court of fey and flowers #court of craft #court of lost things

[tiredpoetry]

in the latest adventuring party when surena was talking about binx and the court of craft and lost things and then started talking about how binx just has a ton of lost things like socks and warm gogurts and how binx herself is truly a lost thing i couldnt help but think of the junkmother from a starstruck odyssey and thats really it but i just love how often this theme of lost things keeps coming up in d20

#maybe its because i too feel like a lost thing #hm #dimension 20 #a court of fey and flowers #acofaf #the adventures of a fuckup
