A sketchy little cover artwork for @zombified419’s so so SO CUTE fic Naberrie Blooms! I’m not normally a super fluffy reader OR a Din shipper but this fic just blew me away, it was so adorable and touching and beautifully written. I read it in three nights and proceeded to recommend it so strongly to any of my friends who sat still long enough, it’s really a must read imo and perfect for if you want something to make you feel giddily optimistic about love, family and sentient being/animal rights lol! (Never though i’d feel emotions for a kowakian monkey lizard...) Anyways check it out, and SO MUCH LOVE to the insanely talented author once more! 💕

Lucio And Nadia Didn't Sign The Divorce

Ok so.... I've got an AU

Personally, it's really hard for me to picture Nadia and Lucio ever being in love, but for this one we'll make them in love because it makes this AU less uncomfortable

Backstory!!

Lucio becomes count earlier in his life and the plague strikes Vesuvia earlier. And womp womp!!! Nadia ends up bearing a child into the plague era of Vesuvia. It's terrifying and Nadia is confronted with her need for control when she can't control this situation, no way to keep her child completely safe. Lucio is suddenly confronted with really, deeply, caring for something enough to make him doubt his selfish actions.

Sure, he loves Nadia, but he was still always a bit arrogant and cocksure. But now? Holy shit. He's got a /kid/. (More on the kid later)

The time line is a bit fuzzy in my head but basically instead of magic fire with sick Lucio, around that time both lucio and the kid fall ill. Lucio's horrified. He begs and pleads and threatens to no avail, with him outliving his child (personal headcanon - children under 10 tended to not last as long, seeing as their immune systems were even kess equipped to deal with the illness). So eventually he goes back to our wormy pestilence man and asks what he has to do. Mr. Worm says the plague will stop following him once he's got lucio's mother's heart. So Lucio pulls some fuckery and ding dong! Morga is dead in exchange for The end of the plague. This, however, does not bring back his daughter.

So Lucio continues to make deals, and things continue to be morally questionable as Nadia attempts to seek out less fucked up resurection methods, til eventually lucio manages to bring the kid back. The child is mostly fine, except now with a pretty strong magical intuition and the inability ti distinguish the voices and figures of the dead from those of the living. Leads to some awkward moments.

And that's the back story!!! Things get less fucky, then more murdery, but let's continue.

The kids!!

The oldest, the one who died, is a girl. She ends up named Lydia, after a character from one of Nadia's favorite stories. She doesn't admit this to Lucio.

Lydia tends to be more reserved, and though she doesn't say it often, she looks up to her mother. Lydia has interests in magic, the sciences, and generally the veil between. She occasionally has nightmares of goatish creatures and terrible landscapes. They almost always start the same, with a doctor she swears shes never met before and yet is the same in every dream. She isn't very expressive with her face, but when she smirks she's a carbon copy of Lucio.

She's not really that interested in romance, and tends to make people who don't know her well creeped out.

About two years later comes a boy, no red eyes and no impending doom on the city. His name is Samuel. Hes a bit insecure, constantly worried he can't live up to his parents as a younger kid, which eventually turns into him not wanting to pursue anything near leadership or politics. He enjoys most sports, and tends to be a bit naive. By age 14 he by far sneaks out of the palace the most. His older sister covers for him, having come up with an ongoing story of Samuel 'feeding the alleycats' because Lydia likes to make fun of Samuels friends. Totally not because she's jealous. Preposterous.

By age 17 Samuel has a secret boyfriend, who Lydia nicknames alleycat to carry on the tradition. Samuel knows neither Nadia nor Lucio would react badly, but Sam kind of enjoys the drama of sneaking around.

Sam ends up a bit taller than lucio, which infuriates Lucio to no end. Sam looks more similar to his aunt's, a wide easy going grin, bright orange hair contrasting his skin, wide eyes. He's charming, and quite cute, in a dweeby way.

Four years after Samuel is yet another daughter, Lilith. She's absolutely the baby, consistently in her own spacey world. She has a heavy enjoyment of fiction, and tends to enjoy cheesy dramatic romance that ends in death the most. She's definitely not suited for politics. She can sometimes get overwhelmed when things are too loud, so she usually spends masquerades with at least one family member with her at all times.

Lucio babys her so much. So, so much. She's the first to admit the terrible things he's done (shes the one who read of them first) but she still loves him despite it.

Sam and Lydia are pretty protective of her, in their own ways. Lydia is a pretty morally gray person and willing to do quite a bit if she thinks someone's 'earned' it. Sam just tends to try and physically intimidate.

Sibling Adventures!!!

They've been to Prakra before, when Lydia was 17, Sam 15, and Lilith 11. It was a new experience for them, not constantly worrying if they'll be swarmed by people. They could just go around and as long as they didn't throw money around they were unnoticed. They chose to spend the entire time dicking around in markets, eating bread and pointing out species of birds they had never seen. Sam gets dragged into a brief romance and his sisters refuse to not mock him for it.

It is an unspoken rule that it's the three of them against the world. They all love their parents, but there's political allies, and all the fucked up stuff dads done, so they've just accepted that they have eachothers backs until the end. This includes Samuel disposing of an unknown body without a word, only hoping Lydia had good reasons.

Anyways yeah!!! Tell me what you think of them! I'm proud of them but in case you want a

Tl;dr

Nadia and Lucio commit some sins with magic and have some kids

Lydia - goth icon, secretly lonely, was dead but isn't now, low-key wants to bone valdemar

Sam - gay icon, over protective, is all brains until confronted with cute boys, isn't cut out for politics

Lilith - soft girl, baby of the family, loves dark fantasy, easily distracted

If you want more in depth of what they look like I'd be happy to give more detailed descriptions!!!!!!!!!!!! :D and if you draw them i will cry tears of happiness

Behold. A random post about Richard and sweet food.

———————————————————————

So, the “Richard’s favourite cookie” rant got a little long and didn’t really stay on the topic of cookies so here’s the other part @btv-grace 😂

———————————————————————

When you go shopping with Richard and end up in the sweet food isles you can never buy ONE box of cookies or ONE carton of ice cream or ONE kinda of whatever with Richard around.

I think he gets lowkey anxious about picking one because what if it’s the “wrong” one (me too Richard me too lol).

He gets frustrated cause he doesn’t know what half of them taste like so he’s going to buy 5 different ice cream flavours so that he can try them all.

THEN on the way back home or while you’re leaving the store he’s gunna get annoyed cause he didn’t get any of the ice cream topping stuff so he’ll fight with himself on whether to go back and get fixins or whatever and SUDDENLY hes all the way on the other end of town in the big grocery store because he didn’t think there’d be enough options at the small one and he’s taken, like, an hour to get ice cream from the corner store.

BUT BUT BUT HERES THE KICKER AHAHAH

THIS MAN. HAS THE GALL. To get salty and tease YOU for taking 10 MINUTES to pick out the one that you want?!?!!!!!!!!

He sits there whining and scoffing like;

“Come onnnn, you’re taking forever! I could’ve eaten it all by now.”

“Just pick one, it doesn’t matter!”

“🙄😑🙄😑🙄😑🙄😑🙄”

AND once you start being like “Richard hold on lol let me pick one you dummy!” Or start ignoring him, he’ll follow you and start giving his trashy unasked for opinion on everything you pick, just to be cheeky. You don’t even have to pick it up, all you have to do is LOOK at it and he’ll be like “EW. You don’t want to get THAT one 🙄. Psh, GROSS.”

Like. Richard. This isn’t even FOR you.

This ones for ME.

And he starts bringin out the smirks and stupid cocky smooth boy attitude and is all like oh please, ik you’ll give me some of whatever you get, just tryna help out myself out lol 😉!

It’s all in love of course, you have to be able to take his teasing in stride, but it is frustrating some times. ESPECIALLY if you’re like him when it comes this kind of shopping but don’t want to bother him with your emotions.

But you know what, in the end he’s absolutely right. You probably DO end up giving him some and if you don’t then he steals some when you’re not looking.

Richard and money

Behold. Another random post. But this ones about Richard and money instead of food.

———————————————————————

I feel like Richard has a very love hate relationship with money.

On one hand, sometimes he doesn’t mind blowing money, it makes him feel like someone special and he’s starting to like spending it on people, even if he pretends he doesn’t. It makes him feel like a better person and likes helping people out, since he’s been in bad situations himself multiple times.

BUT.

Sometimes, he has bad days. When he’s frustrated, disassociating and anxious, he gets really stressed and frustrated about wasting money, food, throwing it around and stuff.

I think a lot of this probably comes from his childhood. I think his dad was abusive and one of the things he was obsessive about was money, even though they were, for the most part, perfectly fine. It would show up in small ways most of the time, such as; freaking out about the lights being on, doors being left opened, food “going to waste,” but many times it would escalate.

I think the other part is from after he left home and hit hard times. After he left/got kicked out he obviously did a lot of crummy things to get money and have control. He’s had the high of being paid for dirty work and feeling like a king, and the low of barely scraping by and the feeling of overwhelming, tiring guilt.

I don’t think Richard has a lot of money, but I think he gets that “I just got paid” mentality and will spend it too fast and then realise that was a really bad idea but over time he gets better at managing it all, especially with help of Connie who wants to feel helpful and totally inserts herself into the situation 😂.

OK OK HERES A POST WITH MUSIC THAT REMINDS ME OF RICHARD (and also my selfshipping with him) THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR EVER IN THEIR LIVES TADAAA!

I find it funny how they’re almost all fire themed

An “oldie” but a goodie

Some of my favourite lyrics

“Rumors spread like wildfire, I held a strong ground...

But I've been burning down, cause it's like fire is all I hear about and we are fading out...

Don't wanna turn out the light”

AND

“Secrets in a small town, they always get around, but the flame has been put out...

And I am hearing all the small talk, they whisper as I walk, in a house that's bordered up...

So good luck”

This is the acoustic version but it’s still so nice!

Some of my favourite lyrics

“There was a little boy, too different to belong, too lonely to be strong (on fire, on fire, oh)...

Laying on the ground, he said that fallin' down, It wouldn't make a sound (on fire, on fire, oh)”

AND

“I'm burnin' I'm on fire, here I am, inside the flames...

I don't care anymore, don't need your oxygen, I'm burning in a new way...

Here I am taming the flames, not afraid anymore, strong like a warrior”

Really dramatic sounding, not as relatable tho

Some of my favourite lyrics

“My mother said I'm too romantic, She said ‘you're dancing in the movies...’

I almost started to believe her, then I saw you and I knew...

Maybe it's 'cause I got a little bit older, maybe it's all that I've been through...

I'd like to think it's how you lean on my shoulder, and how I see myself with you...”

AND

“Fire on fire would normally kill us, but with this much desire, together we're winners...

They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners, but don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms...”

AND FINALLY, THIS is the first song I heard which really reminded me of Richard and one of the possible “storylines” of our “relationship”

Some of my favourite lyrics

“I had a dream about a burning house, you were stuck inside, I couldn't get you out...

I lay beside you and pulled you close and the two of us went up in smoke...”

AND

“I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire,

but it's the only place that I can hold you tight,

in this burning house...”

AND ALSO

“I see you at a party and you look the same, I could take you back but people don't really change...

Wish that we could go back in time, and I'd be the one you thought you'd find...”

The end 😂
