Encanto OC Event Week 1: Francisca Cordova

Moodboard for Francisca ♟️

(Major spoilers for Miracles Come in Pairs, but I can't hold them back anymore.😅 )

Full Name: Francisca Valencia Salazar Cordova.

DOB: May 24th, 1920.

POB: Villavicencio, Colombia.

Likes/Hobbies: Books, coffee, chess, organizing, piano and solving mind games.

Dislikes: Social interactions, overly emotional people, migraines, vomiting and concepts she can’t understand. Always annoyed when Alejandra’s mice get in her stuff. Also dislikes avocados due to a bad experience.

MBTI: INTJ

Height: 5'7"

Hair Color/Style: Black hair, shaggy pixie cut. Partially covers her ears. Has natural curls which are Type 3C. It used to be past her shoulders, but she cut it too short and it's growing out.

Eye color: Forest green with warm brown encircling the pupils. She has central heterochromia.

Sexual Orientation: Asexual/Aromantic.

Voice: Natalia Reyes.

Positive Traits:  Intelligent, logical, confident, astute, faithful and caring.

Negative Traits: Insensitive, combative, judgmental and arrogant.

Habits: She's done her best to avoid smoking because she did it often as a teen. She only has a cigarette now and then if stressed.

Talents: Sharp memory, keen eye for detail and sketching. Can imitate voices well and skilled with piano. Linguist.

Pets:  A brown cat named Litzy. Francisca rescued her from drowning and nursed her to health. Litzy was only a couple weeks old then. Francisca wanted to sell her since she didn't care for another pet. (Alejandra's got her mice and steeds.) However, when she had a bad migraine, Litzy snuggled against her and somehow made brought comfort. Litzy stayed ever since. Not necessarily a pet but also has a mule for travel named Vendaval. She trusts him more than Alejandra's horse and he's bigger than a common mule.

Favorite Food: She'd say coffee, but she likes Almojábana or Arepa Boyacanese.

Career: The town doctor's assistant.

Family: Fraternal twin to Alejandra. (Francisca's the firstborn by 15 minutes.) Only close to her mom Mercedes Reyes and never was with her dad Pablo Salazar. Had her maternal grandma, Perla, not died when she was little, she'd have another close family member. Honestly, don't bother asking her about her other family. She has no interest in them.

Backstory: Despite seeming a little slow with learning to crawl and walk, Francisca became an intelligent child. She learned to read on her own and play chess. She quickly learned piano and understood mathematics. It wasn't really appreciated. Francisca was (and still is) antisocial. She's never been good with interactions. She can be arrogant and even sardonic. Pablo tried to bond with her, but always found it difficult. Honestly, he tried doing things a normal child would like, not see what his daughter enjoyed. Most of her family thought she was too strange and unpleasant. That and she as she grew older, she wasn't afraid to call out...um, BS... when she saw it. This made her the black sheep. Family would say that despite being smart, she was heartless. Anyone who knew the family saw her that way. There was gossip. The only ones Francisca gets along with best is Mercedes and her own twin Alejandra. They never saw her as a problem. 

Francisca started getting migraines at 5 years old. Her family figured it was genetic. Mercedes's father was reported to have these often. It included the symptoms of light sensitivity, nausea and vomiting. Even with the pain, Francisca's never been afraid of a hard day's work. She's never been intimidated by learning and built up so much knowledge which has helped her. Work smart and work hard.

After her parents' separation and living in Cali, near the rural parts, she was a farm hand tending big fields. She spent any free time at the libraries learning about languages and science. She researched every medical book she could find to cure Malaria while Mercedes was slowly dying. Only 15, Francisca was heartbroken losing her dear mother and concerned for the future. She couldn't let grief and worry overcome. They needed someone to lead and provide. She'd do it. Having to survive on their own and being fired over her behaviors, Francisca found herself desperate. She used her wits as a con artist. She could talk her way out of anything when she analyzed a person's weakness. She had developed no qualms of breaking up relationships, sowing distrust etc. You do what you have to do right?

She was noticed by a group of brothers who were impressed and offered to let her join their con artist team. It worked for a couple years, until things went awry, and they offered a deal Francisca despised. It was asking for Alejandra to spend a night with one of the brothers even if it meant by force. Francisca refused and threatened even when they threatened her. They wouldn't take no for an answer. Francisca managed to trick them into getting arrested. One of them was killed in a fight. Though she didn't kill him, Francisca was arrested. She reassured Alejandra she'd get out soon by convincing the courts. Her confidence got the best of her. 

Francisca wasn't able to fool anyone, and she was angry her tactics failed. AOn top of it all, she became terribly ill in prison and grew frail. What ailed her, the prison didn't know and sent her off to another place. She was in a whirl of nonstop pain as her migraines grew worse: the worst pain of her life. Alejandra wasn't allowed to visit or even told the new location! It was a minister who stepped in and helped her slowly recover. He believed her story and encouraged her to find a new calling than tricking others. It took a long time, but they finally got Francisca free. She was overcome with joy to reunite with her twin. Those 6 months was the longest time they'd ever been apart.

Now to the movie's timeline. Some things haven't changed for Francisca now that she's 30. Migraines still persist, she can still be insensitive to others, but she still lives with Alejandra. Francisca continues working hard but found her new calling as the town doctor's assistant. Impressed by her medical knowledge, he offered the job, and she gained many experiences. She's helped save lives, deliver babies and fix broken bones. It doesn't change the town's opinion of her. She's been nicknamed, the Green-Eyed Viper, Heartless and Perra. They'll joke about her. "You know where Francisca Cordova will go when she dies? Nowhere. She's soulless!" "Ay Cordova, have you sold your soul? Oh wait. You couldn't have! You never had one!"

Francisca knows all of that but doesn't let it get to her. She won't let anything get to her. Not even a magical place with a sentient house and people with powers! Not even an old friend of her mom who just may understand her so well!

[polarades]

Got any fun facts or things about Trezerius :3c I like the guy :D

THANK YOU!! I will tell you facts about my annoying son!!

He will overshare with literally anyone about his opinions regardless of whether they care! Pre-war (before the Adric Sect’s attempt to destroy the city) it was random people in the palace, Post-war (after Treze’s escape from prison/”exile” after they failed to execute him) it could be his own subordinates which only makes them nervous because he’s allowed to spill secrets but if THEY do he will 100% ruin their lives.

He just thinks his opinions are the coolest and the best. He wants everyone to hear them

Now that he tried (and failed) at killing Queen Erina he totally gave up on that. Not his problem anymore he found a way better way to have power away from the snobby palace anyway (crime)

He’s kind of dedicated his life to finding his BFF who went MIA. Hasn’t found him yet. I don’t know if Pulchra’s living and neither does Treze.

DUE TO uh. Well the fact that he’s been recently implanted into my own fantasy world for my own dastardly purposes. His race is “nymph-born elf” aka one of his (and Rose’s) biological parents was a shapeshifted dryad of some kind. Which explains why he’s still got claws and fangs and weird eyes. There was a lot of gossip about the princes being changelings when they came into the public eye.

Treze’s smile is described as “baring his fangs like an animal” thanks for that description Holland.

His hair is naturally reddened at the ends because the strands weaken and oxidize over time.

Despite all of his efforts he cannot fight. He cannot win a fight. He probably couldn’t win an arm wrestling match. He wants to look cool sooooo bad he's really trying he just sucks at it.

He's aromantic thats cool.

Verdict: he cuts only some of his nails specifically so his half fingerless gloves will work and sleeps face-in-pillow looking completely flat and lifeless. What a guy!

#THANK YOU I LOVE YELLING #oc.trezerius #ask #I love him he's like. He failed upwards. How does he keep getting away with this #I think he'd be cool to hang out with. Like yeah he's self absorbed but. at least doesn't usually treat strangers like dirt. #polar.ocs

[catenby-perineum]

I feel dumb (in like. an actual way not a fun kinky way) because I know now that we live in the same time zone and I would love to actually cuddle and kiss and parallel play, with or without sex involved, but I know I have a tendency to have/develop actual feelings and desires outside of internet fun (not necessarily romantic, I'm aromantic and don't understand types of attraction like that; I just mean I care a lot and also wish I could spend time with you)

^///^

I do think that sounds really fun, but I can't say I'm open to that kind of thing at the moment.

I'm really closed off as a person, takes me ages to open up for things as little as a phone call, so it's mostly that.

Feelings are funky, and it's not the worst to develop some if it were to happen ;3c But considering how closed off I am, it's probably for the best for everyone that the chance to do that just doesn't come up -.-

I'm a brick wall of "meh"

But consider me flattered, excited at the idea, and kindly saying "no" for the time being :3 I would love to hang out with some online buds; I'm like, physically and emotionally incapable of doing so without 10,000 years of build up lol

It's genuinely a miracle someone helped push through that barrier once before, I'll have to work on myself to make it a touch easier in the future ;3

It really does sound too good though ;-; Thank you <3<3<3<3<3

#nsft #t4t nsft

[albatris]

happy blorbo blursday! may I near some Alex facts?

hi hello? hi. I'm several actual months late but I was wandering through my drafts and was like, oh, today is the day I am going to finally answer this apparently. wahoo surprise motivation time

anyway thank you for the blorbo blursday ask n sorry I'm so late with it ahaha

Alex facts! I can offer Alex facts <3

so, I have a bunch of posts where I explain a tonne of stuff about Alex n its personality n its backstory n history with Quinn in excruciating detail and many paragraphs and I will not subject you to this level of in depth writings, but I will give you some Basic Rundown Of Alex In General facts then I will give u some other random Alex facts, because I can c:

the Alex overview:

full name Alexis Anders.... possible joke full name Alexis Alexander Anders..... making it Alex Alexander Anders. did its parents think this would be funny

they were fucking right, it is funny

it/its pronouns with extra special friends, he/him for everybody else

aromantic and in a queerplatonic relationship with best friend Quinn. not asexual. sexuality is shrug emoji, though

kind and compassionate, firm and diplomatic...... has a reputation among most for being warm-hearted but stoic

the most petty spiteful pissed-off chaotically stubborn bastard on the planet, but you are unlikely to actually notice this unless you're very very close to it and can pick up on some very specific subtle cues. like. Alex is a genuinely wonderful, gentle, morally-upstanding person. Alex is also a huge bitch (affectionate)

fatally allergic to sunlight

once fucked off to an abandoned house in the wilderness for three months to fistfight vampire god, isolating itself from society and refusing to feed on humans, enduring near-constant agony, mind-manipulation and gaslighting from the Garble, and starvation

(the general consensus is that vampire god didn't give a fuck, and Alex would have eventually just died there, but man, idk. idk. it's Alex. I think there's a chance no matter how slim that the Garble might have flinched first)

a personal injuries lawyer! for some of the year, at least! during the winter and autumn, it lives in Melberra City, Melberra, where the weather leans towards rainy and cloudy most days and Alex is free to go about its day job with no issues :3c during sunny summer and spring, Alex returns to Darwelaide and a nocturnal sleeping pattern, n hangs out with Quinn n does some freelance work

an intensely private person and incredibly picky when it comes to friends and who it opens up to, but this is not to be confused with coldness, standoffishness or sombreness

Very Very Very Very Very Fucking Tall

gentle and adverse to physical violence but will floor a motherfucker in a debate (for profit or fun)

does not want to be a vampire. hates being a vampire. doesn't wanna eat people. yearns to be human again. mourns the life it had to leave behind

is a vampire nonetheless, however, and tries to balance out its various moral crises by hunting down and killing almost exclusively vicious, despicable human predators society will never hold accountable for their cruelty

is a fucking pro at goofy sleight of hand magic lmao

has a huge greenhouse full of herbs and flowers and veggies and other such wonderful things because Hobbies Are Good For One's Health! and is constantly trying to pan boxes of fresh produce off to whoever will take them because it grows way more than it can realistically use itself, n it's very proud of its greenhouse and wants to share :3

n now extra Alex dot points that don't belong in an overview but r fun nonetheless

the neighbourhood kids have a bunch of very hush-hush rumours between them that Alex is a vampire, 'cause it hardly ever comes outside during the daytime and its windows are all boarded up to keep sunlight out. they're right, yeah, but this is, like. goofy little kid games. it is a topic for them to play make believe with, mostly, and get over-imaginative about

the kids are not NOT scared of the idea that Alex might be a vampire, but also whenever Alex is around on Halloween it has the best candy so they will dutifully protect its secret lmao. also it helped one of their mums out with a whole workers compensation asbestos thing one time so is probably not, like, an evil vampire

(but yes, the general story around the suburb is just that Alex has a medical condition that results in extreme sun sensitivity)

Alex does canonically possess a conspiracy-theory-looking murder pinboard for planning for and researching its targets. Alex used to use a notebook but Quinn was like "no no no where's your DRAMA where's your PIZZAZZ your AESTHETIC you MUST let me help you make a murder pinboard" and Alex decided it would allow this (it seemed like appropriate enrichment for its chaotic best friend and might keep them out of trouble for a bit)

Alex's tarot card is Temperance

Alex is terrible with animals and pretends this doesn't make it sad

Alex is the only ordinary vampire in the story capable of using its blood for hypnotism!

Alex is the only vampire in the story, ordinary or otherwise, capable of using its blood for healing others as well as itself!

Alex will and often does sleep on its own, but likes to have company n only ever really sleeps comfortably and deeply next to Quinn, and later Nat

as far as vampires go, Alex has fuckin godlike levels of self-control and even seasoned vampire hunters like Zeke can rarely pick up on the fact that it's a vampire

and the most important Alex fact of all

it deserves a little kiss on the forehead and a warm mug of coffee with lots of cream and sugar <3

#anyway thank u for coming to the Alex Fact Fun Corner with logan albatris #(thank you for the ask!) #alex is my favourite rental car character! n might even be one of my favourite ocs of all my wips but i shan't commit to that #not until i've at least flipped back to work on atdao again for a good few months / years #i handball the two wips back and forth at a very slow pace #but ye i like alex a lot #a rental car takes a left down rake street and disappears #alternate explanation for alex alexander anders: #alex picked a new name for itself but froze in indecision while trying to come up with middle and last names #and was just like....... hey you know what would be fucking funny #nonbinary power move: just name yourself fucking alex alexander anders #and when people are like ''are you serious'' you can be like #haha no that would be silly <3 my full first name is alexis actually!

[crescentmoonrider]

give me your important toji and yuta and megumi headcanons :3c

you mean, in general ? or like how they'd all interact together ? or are we talking Boy Who Leapt Through Time AU specifically ?

well i guess i can do all three

.

let’s start with individual hcs !

Toji

he’s bisexual and demiromantic. the only person he’s ever been in love with has been his first wife, Megumi’s mom, in part because she was the only person at the time to treat him like a normal guy

the reason he married Tsumiki’s mom is more complicated. on the one hand, Megumi and Tsumiki got along well, and Toji thought it would be good for Megumi to spend time with like, someone his age. on the other, Toji didn’t trust himself to take care of Megumi, and thought marrying again would be a sort of insurance in case he died... or decided not to go home

the reason he never made the Zen’in clan pay for the way they treated him, and the reason he sort of trusted them with Megumi is that he has completely internalized the abuse he went through as something that was justified

his self-esteem is at rock bottom. he’s just really good at hiding it by behaving like a fucking asshole

might just have a breakdown if someone pays him a genuine compliment

he fucks around a lot for a few reasons : easy money, easy way to get a roof on his head, he likes it and likes making his partner(s) feel good, he tries to compensate his need for emotional intimacy with physical intimacy (it doesn’t work)

Yuuta

bisexual and aromantic. he tells people Rika’s the only one for him because for some reason, people are more eager to believe he can’t get over a childhood crush than to understand he just. doesn’t get romantic love

he’s build like a stick, and no matter how much he tries, cannot manage to build any muscle mass. he wishes at least had some more pecs.....

i refuse to believe the whole point of vol. 0 (overcoming grief, moving on from past mistakes, letting Rika-chan fucking rest in peace) would be undercut so stupidly by Gege, so the current “Rika” is not in fact cursed energy left behind by Rika-chan and uh, the power of love ? it’s just a copy Yuuta made with his technique. i will not be taking criticism

because of how socially isolated he used to be, his only idea of what real teens his age do comes from like, dramas and manga, and the random bits of conversation he would hear in the classroom

the first time he went out to a café with the other 2nd years, he cried for a good 20 minutes

Megumi

demi without a strong preference for any gender. has trouble understanding other people’s conceptions of romance and sexuality, especially people who date/fuck without strong ties to each other

the type to idealize the people he likes (who aren’t Gojo), only to be disappointed when they turn out to be, you know, people. with good sides and bad sides and sides that just don’t sit well with specific people

Tsumiki taught him how to cook. he doesn’t do it often these days, but he finds it relaxing

depending on my mood, i sometimes go with the idea that he has a puppy crush on Yuuta. he’s taking that secret to his grave, though

.

now for interactions not related to the above-mentioned AU !

obviously we know Megumi admires and respects Yuuta a great deal, and i like to think Yuuta’s the kind of guy who really wants to make his kouhais proud. so we have “Okkotsu-senpai can do nothing wrong” on one side, and on the other we have Yuuta trying to show off and keep up with Megumi’s expectations. it’s a whole mess, but it’s a funny one to watch for the other 2nd years

they have betting pools on what they can convince Yuuta to do to show off to Megumi, and also on what will finally make Megumi realize Yuuta is just as stupid as the rest of them, just in a different way

now, if we were to put Toji in there, as Megumi’s very much alive deadbeat dad....

i mean. it would be a disaster. a very entertaining one, but a disaster nonetheless. Megumi would do his best to keep Toji away from Yuuta so #1 Shitty Dad can’t embarrass him in front of his cool senpai. Toji would do his best to do just that, in whichever way is funniest to him (so either by flirting with Yuuta or by revealing Megumi’s baby photos. maybe even both)

meanwhile Yuuta would just be like “huh i wonder who the hot guy Fushiguro-kun just shoved out the window was”. and then Toji would open his mouth and Yuuta would go “oh he’s an asshole ok”. he Would take Megumi’s defense if Toji’s being too shitty, though. senpai instincts

unfortunately for everyone though, Yuuta is also a very genuinely kind soul, which is exactly what can break through the walls and layers of dysfunctional coping mechanism Toji built after the death of his first wife (and also after the abuse he suffered at the hands of the Zen’in clan)

what i’m saying is that Yuuta just stands there obliviously as Megumi tries to murder Toji, who is now seriously trying to get closer to Yuuta and just like, become friends ? maybe ??

oh yeah also Toji calls himself a monkey one time in front of Yuuta, and Yuuta just straight up goes “you will treat yourself (and others like you, such as Maki) with respect or i will punt you into the sun” and Toji’s just like. “oh.”

.

and now for The Boy Who Leapt Through Time AU !!

obviously Yuuta has latched onto the kids and sworn to protect them. on the one hand, of course, it’s painful to look at them and remember the people he knew and lost, and the time he spends with them keeps on twisting the knife of his trauma. on the other, he refuses to make his own issues something other people have to worry about, and part of what protecting the kids means to him, is hiding his pain from them

he will do anything for their sake. anything

Toji’s relationship with Megumi at that time is pretty complex. Toji’s at his lowest point by then, and while he does love Megumi and wants the best for him, he’s also very aware that like. he fucking sucks as a parent. and there’s probably a part of him that resents having a kid, because life would be easier if Megumi wasn’t around. if Tsumiki hadn’t called him, there’s honestly a good chance he wouldn’t have gone home at all that day

and of course, he doesn’t believe a “monkey” such as him could ever be the right person to raise a sorcerer

anyway it’s complicated. the way Tsumiki talked to him on the phone, it made Toji believe he was needed, and that’s why he came back (also because his wife bailed). but then the small fight over juice made Megumi spill out all of his grievances to Toji, because he’s a child and he needs his dad and Toji has been pretty awful at being there for him up until now, and now Toji thinks he was wrong and actually Megumi would be better off without him

they both suffer from “i will die if i tell my loved ones i care about them” disease, and it sucks. but also one of them is fucking 4 years old and deserves some slack on that front

on the Toji and Yuuta front... Yuuta’s first thoughts about Toji were that he is dangerous, and also a jackass. but also Yuuta is thankful to Toji for picking him up and more or less saving his life (because seriously, who knows what the College would do with a Special Grade who says he comes from the future and has fucking unreal levels of cursed energy)

anyway he has now realized that Toji has some Fucken Issues, some of which he recognizes from personal experience. like, the low self-esteem, the isolation, the disbelief at anyone being nice to him ? yeah Yuuta, who was haunted by Rika-chan for 6 years, and was also bullied, is familiar with that

so of course he wants to help, as a way to thank Toji, and for the kids’ sake. especially Megumi’s, since he’s seen what abandonment issues have done to the Megumi he knew. he doesn’t really know how to go about it, though

Toji doesn’t really know what to make of Yuuta. he’s a sorcerer, and stupidly strong at that, but he acts... weak. right up until he doesn’t. he’s also scary good at lying and smiling in front of the kids, right up until he can be on his own to have a breakdown. he also thanked Toji for something Toji did mostly for his own sake, and it’s... Toji doesn’t know what to make of that either

well, they only really met like today, so. they’re gonna figure each other out and what to do about their situation eventually, for better or worse

MY FREN YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST give me 👋 💕 💋 + 🤯 for Dei I MUST SEE what you do with it. Bonus; 💥 if you're inclined :3 - moonlit-grove

*Updated with all scenes + bad end!*

OH HO HO! Deiliús, eh? >:3c @moonlit-grove

CW: abuse, death

(Note: Deiliús is bisexual but aromantic)

MEETING: Deiliús

You joined because the recruiter had all the right things to say. All the right answers to the questions that others considered too macabre, too grim, and too inappropriate. You did not, however, join for some half-assed concept of a family which the Countess kept harping on about. Of course, you didn't say this to her face, or to her guard dogs because you valued keeping your blood in your body.

Which is why when the Countess suggested that you try to get along with some of the other members of the 'family' you barely concealed a sneer. Yet you obeyed all the same because only a fool would disobey the one in charge around here. Some of the more devoted of the Court tried their hardest to resemble what one might think of as a family, or at least the perverted shade of it. In truth there was a lot of fake smiling and compliments, a lot of hearing without listening, and a lot of lies.

The first you met but hardly spared a thought for were her guard dogs, blindly loyal and slobbering all over themselves for even a glance from the Countess. Disgusting. Madrúil was the worse of the two, his aggressive nature and cold, red stare seemed to invite - to challenge. Take a wrong breath at her, it screamed. I dare you. You found out through others that his nickname was the Bastard Hound, but only a few dared to say it around him.

Rhiannon, the other guard, was not as actively cruel but still enjoyed the pain of others. Though she kept to herself and wasted her days pining over the glances and affections, too.

The last of the 'family' you had time or patience for meeting was a fellow new recruit. Approaching them as they studied a mirror intently, not looking at themselves in it but rather focusing on the object itself.

"What are you doing?" You ask, not really curious but eager to get the introductions over with already.

"...trying to see if this glamor works, or if it needs more fine tuning." Is what they reply with, they don't turn to you to say it. They sounded about as bored as you felt, which strangely was encouraging.

You introduce yourself and after a lengthy pause they return the introduction,

"...I'm Deiliús." They sound mildly disappointed by it.

Deiliús, as you have now found out, seems a little out of place here. Amongst the other recruits and Courtiers, who favor darker colors and have an air of malice about them - they seem almost normal. Almost a Dreamer. Dark purple blooms, arranged in a spray at the top of their head which trailed down their face, are surrounded by leaves. Their leaves match the rest of their bark in a green that's almost white.

They are the first person here to not instantly cause a gut reaction of contempt, so that's something, you suppose.

HEART SCENE ONE: Deiliús

One of the first things you have come to find out about the Countess of Blasphemy's Court is that it's run with a single minded goal. To obtain as many new converts as possible and by whatever means are needed. Most of this conversion is voluntary, like how you joined. Others are less... hygienic.

Madrúil, one of her prime henchmen, has been given the responsibility of torturing random captives into either death, insanity, or conversion. It leaves a bad taste in the back of your mouth, but thankfully you don't have to look at it very often. So you can halfway pretend that it isn't happening.

Today, though, you do have to look at it.

As part of the initiation into the Court, the Countess and her two rabid pets are watching as you and a few other new members are given daggers  - and told to inflict pain. There are three Sylvari directly ahead of you - they are all bound, gagged, and blindfolded.

One of them is crying hysterically. One is quiet. The last one seems to be trying to say something but can't around the gag.

Looking around, you see other members begin creeping out of their lodgings and have come to watch the show. They seem... happy? You notice that the member you spoke with before isn't present among them. Deiliús is no where to be seen. The other members who you are standing with have a disparity of expressions, ranging from excitement, to confusion, and then neutrality.

The Countess tells you that you each get to choose your participant (you find her word choice amusing). You...

A. Go for the one that's crying.

B. Go for one of the other ones.

C.  Wait for everyone else to pick their participant.

➡A.

You take a step towards the Sylvari that is sobbing through their blindfold, only to be knocked away from them by a fellow member. They brandish their dagger at you threateningly.

"This is one mine." They growl, and turn to descend on the unfortunate captive with renewed vigor.

Now annoyed yourself, you settle for the one that is trying to speak. They're a thin framed Sylvari, who looks to resemble some type of tree, but you're too irritated to think of which type. Kicking them harshly in the stomach, they buckle over and you go after them with your dagger. You plunge it into their ribs, not deep enough to risk killing them but enough so that it will certainly damage something.

Twisting the blade, they give a muffled scream and you can't help the cruel smile that appears on your face.

The Countess nods in approval at you and you feel like you have found where you belong.

(ROUTE END)

➡B.

With the other captive spoken for, you choose the one that hadn't moved or made a sound this entire time. Part of you wonders if maybe they were a dummy or something. When you jab the knife downwards into their collarbone and they let out a little, albeit muffled, shriek, you change your mind. Guess they were real after all.

You start to back away from them now that your curiosity has been satisfied, but are met with the displeased eyes of the other members. They seem disappointed in your lack of savagery. Madrúil approaches you with heavy footfalls and wrenches the knife out of your hand. Glaring at you with malice, he drags the knife as slowly as he can up the side of the bound Sylvari's face - refusing to break eye contact the whole time.  They shriek and try to escape but the kennelmaster has a vice like grip of their ferns.

It's clear that was a threat.

You are dismissed for the day.

➡ C.

You wait for the other members to pick whoever they want first and you go for whoever is left over. As it turns out, they all wanted the one that was crying - which seems a little unfair, but you let it slide.

Picking the Sylvari who has hardly moved an inch since the ceremony began you examine them, testing the edge of your knife as you do so. They're a mushroom presenting Sylvari, the large red and white flecked cap that's atop their head seems like an obvious place to start.

Truthfully, you don't really see the point to this. Isn't this Madrúil's position? Why should he get to slack off and make the lower ranked members do his grunt work? That alone makes you slightly irritated. Still, if you want to gain knowledge from this place - it's listen to their rules or else you suspect that it will be you on your knees next week.

There are eyes on you in anticipation from the other members, curious as to what you will do. With nothing else for it, you make a testing cut right down the middle of their cap. They jolt in shock  and make a muffled sound of pain. Though it's not something you had considered before in seriousness, the adrenaline it sends through you is something else. It's not... pleasant. Or unpleasant. But it did give you a rush for a moment.

They are still watching to see what you will do.

Well if once worked, why not a second time? You make another precise cut swiftly down the center of their red cap, the contrast of the gold sap leaking from the first one makes you feel odd. Unable to tell if it's pleasant or unpleasant still - you bolster yourself and continue making hairline cuts across their mushroom cap. It's become a delicate lattice work of gold over the red.

Breaking your sight from your handiwork, you evaluate the state of the other captives. One of them is already dead, the new member who was assigned to them having stabbed them repeatedly in the neck. The new member looks wild and manic. Madrúil has to lead them away but claps a hand on their back in approval. With one of the captives accounted for, another is either unconscious or playing dead, and then there is yours. They've made a few sounds of pain and something akin to crying but no where near as showy as the other two.

The Countess smiles at you and the other new convert who remains,

"Well done. You've proven your place. Some of you with... great relish." She covers her mouth and she gives a soft laugh. "Welcome to the family."

Courtiers drag away the two captives and throw them back into their thorned holding cell, not bothering to remove the binds.  On your way back to your quarters, which is all of a small bedroll and a few choice items you had brought with you, you find Deiliús. The two of you share quarters or at least are in close proximity for lodging it seems. They are working on the glamor from earlier. Scribbling notes on a piece of parchment, without looking up at you.

"Not interested in the ceremony?"

They shake their head, still focused on finishing whatever they were writing about. After a moment, they set the quill down and face you.

"I've seen it before, it's not new to me." They remark a little bitterly and you wonder where that came from. The apathy returns as the frown on their face smooths again. Deiliús tilts their head at you slightly, "Did you enjoy it?"

Shrugging, you're still unsure yourself. "I don't know."

"Well... that's better than some." They reply, turning back to the mirror and notes at hand.

HEART SCENE TWO: Deiliús

You hear the distinct, headache inducing sound of Madrúil, screaming about something. Part of you wonders if the reason why his voice is so scratchy is because the kennelmaster lacks a reasonable volume control. The Countess had left for a short while to attend to affairs in Twilight Arbor, leaving the already volatile bastard even more angry than usual. And as usual, he tended to take out his anger on others.

The crash of something breaking and the sound of something hitting the ground does elicit a wince, though. He'd blown through several prisoners already and at this rate the Countess would be upset, which would make the rest of them miserable. If conversions were currency then they were soon to be in the red.

You go to see what damage he has done now, if only to satisfy your own curiosity, approaching the kennelmasters quarters warily. The storm blue Sylvari stomps out and completely ignores your presence. He was flecked with sap, though somehow you don't think that it was his. Waiting until he is well and good out of sight, you peek around the corner with the excitement of a child pulling the wings off of a fly for the first time.

To your surprise, it wasn't a prisoner you find - but a fellow member.

Oh. It's Deiliús. They're sat on the floor, holding the back of their hand against their nose to keep it from bleeding. A split lip and a minor cut running up from the bridge of their nose. There's a broken shelf in pieces on the floor next to them, it's spattered with sap.

You...

A. Turn around and leave, this isn't your business.

B. Stay quiet and observe.

C. Ask if they're okay.

➡A.

You turn around and leave Deiliús to handle this. It's not your problem and you aren't about to get involved, not when Mad is already in a pissy mood.

When you encounter them later, as it's unavoidable, they seem no worse for wear. There's no sign of injury or bruising, or even staining from sap. You eye them curiously for a time before they meet your gaze.

"What now?"

"Oh. Nothing." You mutter, "Nothing at all."

They give a noncommittal sound of acknowledgement and return to their quarters.

(ROUTE END)

➡B.

Saying nothing, you watch in quiet observation as the mesmer removes the hand from their face, it's dripping with gold sap. They sigh and return the pressure, seemingly waiting for it to stop.

Wondering if the Countess knows how her pet is treating the rest of her 'family' you frown. As you start to move away, you hear them speak,

"I know you're there. I'm not an idiot." They say, in a quiet, flat tone.

That sort of surprised you, you thought you did an excellent job at being stealthy. Perhaps that was something to work on later.

"You're still bleeding." You remark, more of an observation than a reply.

"It'll stop eventually." They look up from the broken pieces of shelf that had held their attention. "You saw?"

"Heard, rather."

"Then keep it to yourself."

You tilt your head curiously at them. Wouldn't they want the Countess to know? To try and get involved? Seeming to pick up on your question, they sag a little and clarify.

"It'll just makes things worse."

About to reply, how they could even get worse you remember that this is Madrúil you are talking about so the realm of possibility is well open and gleaming. Deiliús checks to see if their injury has stopped bleeding and upon finding that it has - makes an attempt to stand. They seem to struggle with putting weight on one of their legs. Feeling something which almost resembles pity (though surely you must be mistaken, Nightmare doesn't allow for such things) you offer a hand to help them up.

They stare at it warily as though expecting it to bite. Impatient, you gesture with it again, offering a hand up. This time they do accept it and carefully heave themselves up. The purple blooms atop their crown sway for a second and they find their footing.

For a fleeting second, something looked different about them, but it may have just been a trick of the light.

"Thanks." Is all they manage to offer before beginning to pick up the pieces of the shelf and try to clean up as best as they can. You leave them to it.

They watch you go out of the corners of their eyes, staring at the space you occupied before resuming work.

➡C.

"Are you okay?" You ask, more surprised than concerned. Fully aware that Madrúil's temper was caustic - somehow it still is a shock that another member of the Court would be so... reluctant to fight back. More of them than not secretly or not so secretly wanted to kick the ass of that kennelmaster.

"I'm used to it." They say, pointedly avoiding the question.

Were the situation different you would have pressed the point but it's clear that they're not going to elaborate anymore. Curious you can't help but want to find out more.

"Why didn't you, I don't know, do something?" The words come out a little reprimanding, which wasn't what you intended.

"I'm not that good at fighting."

"I... oh."

"If you're just going to stand there asking unhelpful questions, can you leave?" Deiliús seems a little annoyed with you.

HEART SCENE THREE: Deiliús

This culvert of Nightmare is far from what you anticipated it would be. The recruiter gave you a mental picture of a group of like-minded people, working together beyond the barriers of ancient morality to discover themselves. Not this, not the cesspool of torture and babbling fools. Not the sweet but empty words and people falling all over themselves to be held in high regard. If they did not want power then they wanted fame, attention, or favors.

You didn't particularly want any of these things, you just wanted information and a change to explore things. So now as a sinking feeling of despair begins to descend on you, you think this whole decision was a mistake. Maybe if you go speak to the Countess, she will help calm your nerves or at least offer some advice. Walking up the rise to go and see if she will take visitors, as you approach her quarters you are surprised.

The Countess' personal lodgings are not as elaborate as you thought they would be, surely a person of rank would want some luxury? It seems very much just like the rest of the dwellings that you've been in here, simple, efficient, if not a little boring. The only main difference is that there are no high shelves and there is a ledge around the walls that is too shallow for holding anything.

Seated on a mushroom based stool and reading a letter of some kind, she looks up at you as you approach. And gives a friendly smile,

"Can I help you, blossom?"

"Um." You stammer for a moment, not expecting to be treated so fondly, "My Lady, are you open to giving guidance?"

"Certainly. What ails you?"

"I am having doubts about whether I belong in the... family."

She furrows her brows at you worriedly. "What brought this about?"

"I don't feel like my curiosity is welcomed. It feels like..." You pause, trying to find a polite way to word this, "...like I am intruding."

"Is someone making you feel this way?" She says it lightly but there's a shiver that runs through you.

You...

A. Answer honestly

B. Blame Madrúil

C. Blame Deiliús

➡A.

You answer her honestly, "No. It's just... I feel like there is something I am missing. Some part to the puzzle that hasn't come to me yet. It's frustrating."

The Countess makes to rise from her seat, grabbing onto the ledge next to her to help her up. Oh, so that's what it's for.

"It takes some time to get used to things. Think of it like... when you first blow out a candle in a dark room. Your eyes haven't adjusted to the state of your surroundings yet. In time you will see the truth of things and the awareness of Nightmare will be gifted to you."

Her words comfort you some but you can't help but feel like you've been given a blanket answer. Wait and see. Wait and find out. Nodding in respect and appreciation all the same, you take your leave from the Countess, who nods at you in dismissal.

The walk back to your quarters doesn't feel any less uncomfortable.

Upon arriving you see that surprisingly, the other member is absent from the shared quarters. You look around the dimly lit area, the glow of a candle casting flickering yellow lights and strange shadows. Strange. They're usually here, in fact, now that you think of it - you hardly see them outside of this place at all. Laying down on your bed roll, watching the shapes of the shadows morph and melt in their endless waltz as the candle burns slowly down.

Sleep finds you well and without much fanfare. For several hours, at least.

Until you are awakened by the sound of movement, sitting up with a start - knife in hand. A pale green and purple bloomed figure raises their hands in a gesture of surrender. Deiliús. Right. Why on earth were they out so late?

"Deiliús?" You ask, relieved it's not a threat and lower the knife. You rub your eyes with the back of your hand, trying to brush away sleep. "What-?"

"Sorry. The Countess needed me for working with a prisoner. It took longer than expected." They say. They seem tired and a little out of it. As they walk to their own designated area, taking a seat at their small desk, you notice for the first time that they have a limp. They're typically seated so you hadn't seen it before. Maybe it just gets worse when they are exhausted.

"Isn't that Mad's job?"

"Not for when we need them in one piece." Deiliús sighs heavily and writes something down on the sheet of parchment that sits on top. They cross out a line with a thick stroke and then set the quill back in it's holder. Staring blankly at the paper, their expression is empty.

"Are you... well?"

They don't answer for a while before shaking their head as though they were the ones just waking. "What? Yeah. Would mind talking about something? Anything? I don't want to think about ...what I just did."

That's ominous. But you oblige them, the retreating coattails of sleep get further and further away.

"I saw the Countess earlier." You hum, pulling your legs up to you comfortably. "We talked for a bit. I know she tries to be pleasant but there's something about her that sets me on edge. Anyway, I told her I'd been having doubts about joining the 'family'" You put air quotes around the word. "She told me just to wait and that I'd acclimate to it eventually."

"And do you believe it?"

"...Not really."

"You learn fast, then."

"You don't buy it either?"

"No. But don't let them hear you say it out loud. That's an invitation for, well, you know. Use your imagination." Deiliús says with a grim chuckle.

Hearing confirmation of it settled like a stone in your stomach. They had looked up from the desk for a moment and you notice a dark gold almost brown coloring around one of their eyes that hadn't been there before. You think maybe it's dying light of the candle casting shadows where there are none. This is the second time you've thought you saw something like this though. Before you can ask about it they heave another sigh and say,

"I'm bothering you. Go back to sleep."

➡B.

"I don't want to sound ungrateful but Madrúil's not the most welcoming person."

"Mad?" She asks, surprised. "He's never been one for hospitality. Still, hearing that he's making you feel like you don't belong is troubling to me. I'll speak with him about it tonight. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, blossom."

After bowing in respect, you take your leave. A weight feels lifted from you, after the confirmation that the Countess would take care of things. Mad would likely have gone after you if you'd talked to him about it, but even he wouldn't dare go after the Countess.

For the next several days, things seem to go by with relative smoothness. You note with relief that Mad isn't around as much as he used to be. That alone is an improvement, for there isn't the perpetual background noise of someone threatening and yelling at all hours. Or if he is around it's during the time when you are not in Hemlock Coil.

Strangely, you also notice that you haven't seen Deiliús around either. You wonder if it's just scheduling and timing playing it up or if they just aren't around. Maybe they got transferred to a different camp by the Countess? You finally get your answer when you stop by Hemlock's healer, or rather where the healer should be. They've been away for long enough that when something comes up the other members just help themself to the supplies they need.

A stomach ache from some poorly cooked roast troubled you and you were looking for a simple potion to help ease the fire in your gut. When instead you felt worse upon entering.

The healer's quarters had a nauseating amount of sap splashed throughout the whole building. Trailing along the ground - it had already oxidized and turned into a thickened brown coating. There were streams of it that streaked the wall, smudged and blurred as though something had leaned against it for a moment. Letting your eyes follow the trail in horror lead to a large pool of it. Much of the pool was still golden, giving you a clue as to how much had actually been spilled.

There was no body, but you suddenly stopped wondering about the mesmer.

➡C.

"The member I'm sharing lodging with, Deiliús, I believe their name is? They just... don't want to speak to me. It's not as though they're ignoring me but I always feel like I'm boring them."

"This is troubling news indeed, I had hoped that making them share lodging would encourage them to open up. Yet it seems I was mistaken. Very well, I'll see who else I can arrange for you to stay with - have no fear."

The next day, you're shown the new lodging. It turns out that you are sharing it with a Knight - who takes great offense at having such a low ranked member be in their general vicinity. However, since the Countess ordered it, they can't complain or at least not loudly.

They speak with you even less than Deiliús did and pretend that you do not exist. You're not sure if that's an improvement or not, but you're not going to go back to the Countess about it.

After that, you notice that you see less and less of the mesmer around. Either they stay in their lodging full time or they are sent out on missions at the time that you are in Hemlock. Eventually, you stop seeing them around at all. You wonder for a moment where they've gone. Part of you regrets saying anything about it - at least Deiliús didn't snore like a dozen norn.

(ROUTE END)

GOOD ENDING: Deiliús

Morrigan's Spiral would not have been the first place you thought of when it came to relaxing, the magically floating stones above your head don't instill confidence. Plus the frequent attacks from the Risen let the air perpetually smell of rot and sea. Still, it's far enough away from Hemlock Coil that it provides some sort of comfort, even if the telltale red and purple spirals of another Nightmare camp nearby detract from things.

Your whole experience with Nightmare has proven that while they may humor your curiosity, they certainly don't encourage it unless it meets their needs. Hoping that in being free from the dogma of the Tablet, you could explore things but all you found was a new dogma, one of pressure and malice. Not what you were expecting but it's not as though you can leave now.

The silently spinning boulders continue their dance, unbothered.

"It's not the best place in the world, but it's better than Hemlock." The figure to the left of you mentions, their voice is a little less flat than usual.

Turning, you see Deiliús watching the stones rotate and spin, the closest thing to happy you've seen since you met them.

"That doesn't narrow it down much."

The remark elicits a chuckle from the mesmer next to you. Gradually, that flicker of near-happy leaves and they grow serious. Deiliús shifts uncomfortably and sighs. You had been about to ask what was wrong when they chose to speak first,

"I don't know what you're expecting from me. But if it's what I think it is... sorry. I don't - I can't do that."

You tell them you don't expect anything. They aren't convinced but choose to let it go. On the other hand, you do not want to let it go. Adjusting so that you are fully facing them, determination building more by the second. A grey shadow of a spinning rock wobbles over head.

"I mean it, I don't expect anything. Just be you and I'll be me."

"And if I don't know who this 'me' is?"

"Then we can try to figure it out. It'll be an experiment." The idea of it fills you with curiosity but of a less pointed and macabre kind. It's almost... warm.

The corners of their mouth twitch in something that suggested a smile. You and Deiliús sit in comfortable silence and continue watching the tumbling, floating rocks in peace. It was a pleasant way to end the day.

SECRET END (True End)

Hushed discussion lead to a makeshift plan, that plan solidified over time like lava. It was happening. You two were going to flee from the Court. Deiliús had not taken well to the idea at first, being met with an anger and hatred that felt out of place for their usually distant nature. The night before you were going to go with the plan, they take you aside for a moment.

To the patrolling Courtiers, it looked as though Deiliús had asked you for help with one of the their illusions.

You, however, could tell that there was something wrong.

The area that they typically claimed as their chamber was set back into the rocky cliff, surrounded and isolated from the rest of the otherwise open area that was Hemlock. A few spider hatchlings here and there wove silver webs among the higher areas. It was far from comfortable but the few amenities that were given to the members of the court made it livable if nothing else.

Scattered on their desk were a number of pieces of paper with notes, diagrams, and a large array of mirrors and mirror fragments. Presumably from the glamor Deiliús was working on when you first met them.

Out of earshot from the other members, you're a little confused as to what's suddenly brought this on. The plan was seamless, tempered and ironed into a perfect edge. Why the sudden change? You wonder if it had anything to do with the anger that the purple bloomed mesmer first showed at the idea of 'escape'.

Unable to stop from feeling irritated, a creeping wave of it washes over you when Deili��s says simply.

"It won't work."

"You're just paranoid." You say with a terse sigh, crossing your arms in annoyance.

"They've tightened security and added new patrols since a few... prisoners... escaped." The word seems to be painful and barbed in the back of their throat.

You...

A. Ask how they know about the prisoners

➡ A.

"How do you know so much about these 'prisoners'? Did you help them escape?"

Deiliús pales and their expression is an ocean of resentment and what you could almost call sorrow.

"In a way... yes." Their tone lowers to nearly a whisper, "It didn't end well."

Pushing aside anger for a moment, you take in the scene. Given that they didn't appear to be battered like those who had been converted by force, you assumed that they joined of their own volition. Yet here, as they stood before you - doubt began to bloom. And with it, that strange feeling resembling sympathy that you swear Nightmare shouldn't have permitted.

"Why didn't you say anything before?"

The lack of answer alarms you and you unfold your arms, taking a step closer to them. They flinch at the movement and your doubts have now ripened into fruit.

"Deiliús...?"

"They left me here." Is all that they said, in a small voice that sounded carefully level. "While they ran."

You had joined for sake of curiosity, for expanding your own boundaries. It wasn't hard to assume that Deiliús had done the same too, given their fixation on illusions and projecting them. But knowing now that this was not the case filled in more answers for you than their words alone.

"It won't work. Mad's got patrolling courtiers and hounds nearly everywhere now. He won't make the same mistake again."

"Then what do you suggest?"

"I don't know. Maybe if you go with one of the recruiters, you could slip away while they're preaching?"

"What about you?"

Deiliús attempts a smile, but it crumbles. It didn't even reach their lavender eyes before it started to slip. They swallow thickly and don't meet your eyes, trying to blink back tears. The sight of it lights something in your chest that all the guidance of the Countess couldn't even snuff out, for all her talk of the encompassing Nightmare - you hurt.

You hurt for them.

This talk of replacing empathy with truth and compassion with awareness falls utterly flat now as you stand within arms reach of Deiliús who looks like they are three seconds from coming undone. You've had enough.

Closing the space, you pull them into your arms. They freeze for a moment in shock, before melting into you. There's a lot that goes into the hug that they return, a lot of words that weren't said. But as their arms fit around you and they grab fistfuls of your shirt like you were the only solid thing left on the face of the earth - you know you've made the right decision.

"We will think of something. We're getting out of here."

Deiliús doesn't reply so you repeat yourself.

"We are getting out of here. Okay?"

"...okay."

(TRUE END)

BAD END: Deiliús

The air was cool and still as the last of the sun’s rays left the earth. Radiating it up gently from the ground and keeping away  the suggestion of chill, at least for the moment. Night song started gathering itself into the different parts of the orchestra. The whippoorwill, the thrush, the barred owl clearing his throat in preparation for his solo. 

The silence and peace was disrupted by the sound of footsteps. They were uneven and off-kilter. A normal step, a half step, a normal step, a stagger. You’d become familiar with the gait even before the purple of a hyacinth became visible. The mesmer which you’d gotten rather acquainted with stood just outside your lodgings. In truth it was both of yours, since they stayed there as well. They were breathing rapidly, in shallow panicked gasps. 

“Dei-?” You had started to say when they made a frantic gesture for you to stop talking. Obliging, you clapped a hand over your mouth and nodded.

Deiliús leaned back, craning their head and looking left and right, making sure that they hadn’t been followed. Upon not hearing or seeing anyone, they entered into the shared space and nearly ran into you in their haste to get indoors. You managed to catch them by the shoulders before that happened. 

“What’s wrong?” You whisper, now finding the courage to speak.

“Can - will - will you do something for me? Please?” They reply quickly, stumbling over their words. The urgency behind them alarmed you, their voice was usually calm and even, if not a little bored. 

“I can try, what-” 

Deiliús interrupts you. “Kill me.”

“What?”

“Kill me.”

“Okay, slow down, just tell me what happened.” 

They take a deep breath only for it to catch in their chest. “The Countess is gone. She heard of one of her favorite members' deaths. Gavin or something. She’s left Mad in charge until she gets back. That could be days.” 

Your eyes widen in dismay. The only word that seems sufficient is, “...Fuck.”

Deiliús nods in fervent agreement. They look around again to make sure no one has heard the two of you before looking back to you with the same pleading expression as before.

“So please. Kill me.”

“Maybe Mad will be distracted by having to run Hemlock Coil and he’ll be too busy to notice you?”

“He’s just going to use it as an excuse to get away with whatever he can.” 

You can’t help but think that they might be right on that front. Realizing you are still grabbing their shoulder tightly, it comes to your attention that they are twitching and trembling under your touch. Concerned you might be hurting them somehow, you let go.

“Dei, no. No. We aren’t doing this.”

Deiliús looks crestfallen. No, more than that. They look defeated. They deflate as a shaky exhale escapes them and you decide to pull them into a hug. They don’t return the gesture and just stand there, frozen.

There’s movement when they go to take something out of the pocket of the dark purple leaf skirt, taking a half step back. As one of your arms drops to their waist, the other has something pressed into it. It’s cold and metallic. A round shape at the end of it you recognize as the pommel of a dagger.

“I’ll… I’ll make it easy for you. It’ll be so easy.” 

Deiliús is holding the dagger by its blade, their grip on it is so strong that it’s cutting into the palm of their hand and fingers. Gilding the edges with golden sap. They either don’t notice or don’t care. Letting go of the blade, they take your hand instead and position it so that the both of you are holding the hilt. Fingers overlapping. The warmth of the sap trickles around your hand and between your knuckles. They rest their forehead on the top of your shoulder as though their head was too heavy.

Knowing that Madrúil had a special hatred for them, you are torn as to what to do. They hadn’t ever shared the full extent of what they’d gone through at the hands of the kennelmaster, but your imagination filled enough in to make you feel sick. With the Countess gone for the foreseeable future you wonder about what would be kindest for them. You…

A. Refuse.

B Reluctantly comply

C. Try to talk things out.

➡A.

You refuse. 

“I won’t.” You hear your voice crack at the end. Surely there was something else that could be done. Pulling your hand out of theirs and retreating backwards in alarm. Deiliús is devastated.

“Please don’t make me do this alone.”

“I am not going to kill you.” 

They had been close to tears before but something shifted, something broke. The expression changed from grief to a wooden distance, a blankness. 

“Fine.” 

As they say that, you realize with a bolt of terror that you’ve left them with the dagger by accident. Not realizing you’d handed it off when you pulled back. They’re aware of it too and before you can get it away from them they’ve sunk it deep into the side of their neck. Pushing it away from them and cutting a thick line across the whole of it. 

You frantically reach to try and keep pressure on it but it’s no use, you can’t seem to slow it at all. Worse still, Deiliús weakly pushes you away as you attempt to help and sinks to the floor. They refuse to look at you. 

Helpless, you can only watch as the pool of escaping sap grows larger and larger, while the mesmer pales. They scoot away from you to press their back up to the wall and pull their knees to their chest, curling inwards. Seconds lead to minutes. Eventually, you realize that they have stopped moving at all.

➡B.

Swallowing with difficulty around the lump that has sprung to your throat, you nod.

“If you’re sure?” 

“Thank you and I-I’m sorry.” They turn their head just enough to be able to meet your eyes for a split second, offering an apologetic smile. 

You feel the grip around your hand tighten and before you have a chance to say or think anything else, Deiliús has already forced the blade up through their chest. They make a little strangled sound of pain and you catch them as they start to sink. You lower the both of you to the ground, to a near sitting position and there’s a hollowness that grows when you realize how light they are. 

Staying that way until the last of the too wet sounding gasps stop.

➡C.

“Let’s just talk about this. We can think of something else.”

“There is nothing else.” Deiliús says with a tone that haunts you with its certainty. “Don’t you think I’ve tried to?” 

You pull away from them for a moment. “There might be something.”

“I’m dead anyway when he figures it out. So what does it matter?” They give a bitter, airless laugh. Your expression must have read loudly a certain way because they frown and close their eyes, as if tired, sighing heavily.

“You don’t have to help but don’t ...leave. I don’t want to be alone. And then run. Mad’s not going to be happy he didn’t get to finish the job.” 

You can only nod in agreement. Turning your eyes away for a moment as they impale themselves on the dagger with a grunt of pain. The blade goes skittering across the ground as they toss it away from them. Deiliús puts a hand against the wall to steady themself before realizing there wasn’t a reason to. Seating themself on the floor before they fall to it. 

You sit next to them - they give a tense yet grateful attempt to smile. 

Minutes pass in heavy silence. When you find you can’t hear them breathing any longer - you make to stand but find the exit has become obscured by a shape. It’s dark blue. And glowing orange.

“Well isn’t this cozy.” Madrúil grins unkindly, pointed canines revealed. You understand Deiliús a lot better now.

I dont have any strong feelings about Valentine's Day. When I was confused and dating someone it sucked bc I didn't understand why I felt nothing about it, but now I just see it as a chance to make something for my friends :]

11. Thoughts on soulmates?

I don't think they exist! I think that we are destined to meet people all throughout our lives that will mean something to us, be it a friend, parental figure, lover, whatever, but I dont think that we have any ONE person that we're meant to be with, I think we choose, and that's what makes it more meaningful.

13. Do you like being arospec? Are you happy with it?

Eeeeeh...not really. I love being ace and I wouldn't have it any other way, but MAN sometimes I so badly want to feel what romo people feel and know that I have a chance at one day being happily in love with someone who loves me just as much...it's rough. I definitely want a partner some day. I just dont know how that'll happen.

15. Worst part of being arospec?

The fear of living alone. I get that other aros want that and its totally valid!! But it's not for me. I wanna be with someone, some day, but who will settle for me when I cant even love them back?

17. Would you consider yourself a hopeless romantic?

Nah. I dont really think about romance very often, especially when it comes to myself. Sometimes I think about what it would be like to be with someone, but then it turns into worrying about the future and it bums me out :[

20. Do you like flirting/being flirted with?

NOOOOOO NO NO NO. I think I DO flirt a lot, but it's completely accidental and freaks me out because I really dont want people to think I'm coming onto them!! I'm just awkward I swear!

23. Do you want kids?

Yup! I'd like to adopt or foster with someone someday :]

28. What's the most efficient way to befriend you? How would someone win you over platonically?

For me, patience is absolutely key. I struggle with anxiety, so I need friends who are easygoing and able to be a calming and reassuring presence when I start spiraling. I also like rambling alot so I get really happy when someone let's me talk about my ocs or warrior cats or whatever's on my mind!!

31. Do you like lovecore?

I'm not SUPER into lovecore, but I really like pink and flowers...

33. How long have you been identifying as arospec?

A little over a year now! I've identified as ace for a lot longer, and before that I identified as bisexual. I still use the bi label because I'm partnering, so I guess I never really changed labels, just added stuff on!

34. Your favourite ways to express platonic love? How do you show affection without seeming like you're flirting?

...Oh my God it's been so long since I've been around people I've forgotten. I'm not a super touchy-feely person, so I try to show affection with quality time! I love talking with my friends, watching movies, going out ect. and if I'm REALLY close with them I'll lean against them on the couch or something little like that. I also like specifically to ask them about what they're passionate about, like if they're also writing a story! I have one friend whose ocs I LOVE hearing about :3c

35. Is it uncomfortable or flattering when people get crushed on you?

A bit of both...but mostly uncomfortable bc most of the time it's not someone I would actually wanna be with. If it WAS someone I wanted to be with I'd be elated!!

Valentine’s Day?

Hey! I heard there was a holiday humans have based around love? And giving treats? I don’t think cats can eat chocolate treats, but I am extremely here for the love part! And I hope you’re all also here for the love day time!

If you are interested in sending in kinfessions for Valentine’s Day, I do encourage you to send them in now! I’ll try to queue/schedule them to get most out on the holiday! Depending on the amount, you may see them a day early!

Also, those posts will be tagged ‘#valentines day cw’ if you need a break from the sweetness!

Or bitterness!! Both is welcome! If you have something negative about Valentine’s Day, you’re also welcome to send something in! It’s understandable that one may have poor experiences with such an emotional holiday, and this blog is for sharing all sorts of kinfessions! Both the good, and not so good!

Mod Party Cat!

ps edit: to be totally sure a kinfession is for Valentine’s Day, and not simply a kinfessions appreciating someone, please do mention Valentine’s Day! I’d hate to misunderstand and not post a V Day kinfessions when I should! >.< Thank you! :3c

pps edit: Also to be extra clear, Valentine’s Day kinfessions don’t have to be about romantic love! If you want to say you appreciate or love someone platonically, or are aromantic and want wish other people a wonderful day of love, that’s welcome too!

#not confessions #mod posts #mod party cat!

[l0vey-d0vey-moved]

*slides into the room* Tell me about your OCs 👀

*SCREAMS* OK WELL IM STILL FIGURING OUT THEIR STORIES BUT WILL DO////// also this got rlly long so time to put it under a cut :D

ok so the first group is all animals since i couldn’t draw humans at the time, and i actually have a group for them on toyhou.se if y’all wanna check ‘em out 😏😏(their profiles are still wips,,,,,, rip) and im only gonna talk about them since it already got too long OOPS

the first character up is Roselynn “Rose” Maxwell, and she’s what i call a ‘heart feline’!!! it’s more like a fancy way of saying “a cat that can have rainbow colors but also a heart on it” hffsghghfs;;; she’s the first character that has really just stuck with me and has gone through so many redesigns until about last year!!!

anyways she’s supposed to be somewhat of a representation of me, but her anxiety is boosted like. 100x more. she’s just a big ol’ softie that loves her bff, galaxy!!!!! she’s so supportive of all of her friends. she was previously bullied, but it’s all been solved now :3c she has a little sister named lilac who loves to annoy the hell out of rose,,,, oops,,,

random fact about rose: she was originally supposed to end up with galaxy for whatever reason, but i think it’s better if they just stayed friends ^^

the next one is Galaxied Universe!!!! he was my first ever male character, and is a ‘universal fennec fox’, aka a fennec fox that live(d)s in space :o he and his parents evacuated their dying planet and ended up in rose’s hometown, culinstown, washington. 

rose’s family ended up taking them in and rose and galaxy quickly became close friends. and then rose’s friends find out about him, and they have to go through the trouble of keeping him a secret :) but he’s rlly a sweetheart!!!!!! he loves everything and loves learning about this planet and it’s different cultures and languages, and is an ambivert

random fact about galaxy: whenever he smells sharpies, he gets really sick and can even vomit if he’s around them for too long :”)

next up is Hope Masuria!!!!!!!! she’s nb (they/them + she/her) and was supposed to be my fursona until i grew outta that phase :o she’s a somali cat, which is a real breed oops, and her family adopted a labrador retriever as her sibling!!!

she’s also supposed to be a reflection of me, way more anxious but when she’s with her friends, she’s so loud and expressive and excited!!!!!!!! she loves everything and gushes with her adopted sister, charity, over stuff they’ve found (rocks, coins, etc etc) and AAAAAAAAAAA

random fact about hope: despite not liking regular caramel, she really loves candied apples with caramel on them. 

Charity Lynn Mara-Masuria is up next :3c!!! she doesn’t like to use her original last name (Mara), but she likes to put it on paper just bc she likes having a long name. it makes her feel fancy :D she’s actually hope’s adopted sister!!!!

she’s super optimistic, happy, upbeat and excited all the time !!!!! she loves living life, and loves bugs, bird-watching and a lot more :D she’s aromantic ace, but still loves her friends and family no matter what :3c,,, she has adhd and dyslexia (catch the reference? owo) but still does her Absolute BestTM 

random fact about charity: she only eats fruits and is on a fruitarian diet!!! and yes, thats actually a thing :O

the second to last one is Louise!!! she doesn’t have a last name for some reason, and she’s always tired. just let her sleep pls,,,,, she’s a cocker spaniel mix who just wants to snuggle with her plushies on a rainy day and sleep the day away

when she’s actually awake, she’s kinda bitchy but playful in that annoying older-sibling kinda way. just don’t make her mad and don’t get on her bad side,,,, you’ll know when she’s pissed off bc she has Bad anger issues that she’s slowly getting better at

random fact about louise: she knows how to speak ASL, spanish, french and german (to varying degrees) and often curses in them

and the last one is Toxicated Radiation! (aka Toxic), she is agenderflux (they/them, she/her and he/him) and has the dirtiest mouth ever. she used to be really brightly colored, but the design just became really ugly and hurt to look at, so i changed her colors and a bit of her personality.

she’ll literally cuss you out all because of a game she lost. she loves gaming and will drag you to play this game w/ her, even if you haven’t played it before. although she seems pissy and grumpy all the time, she’s just a big ol’ tsundere. she loves teaching her friends about her own interests, but also loves to hear about her friends lives :D

random fact about toxic: she’s literally fought someone 2x the size of her and won by a landslide. 

THIS GOT V LONG AND THESE CHARACTERS ARENT EVEN THE ONLY ONES I HAVE OOPS;;;; if y’all want a more in-depth explanation or wanna kow about more of my characters, hmu 💞

#answers #jocelynships #about my ocs #<that'll be the tag for my characters ig?? #oc tag #my shoulders and hands hurt after typing this for this long oops #it was worth it though :D

OC Profile

Francisca Cordova (Encanto.)

Bio

Name: Francisca Valencia Salazar Cordova. (Francisca Reyes as an alias.) Fran for short, but call her Franny and you'll die. Alejandra calls her Cisca.

Age: 30.

Ethnicity: Colombian.

Species: Human.

Height: 5'7".

Weight: 118 pounds.

Hair color: Black.

Hair style: A shaggy pixie cut. Hair partially covers her ears and she has natural curls which are Type 3C. Francisca thinks shorter hair is easier to manage.

Eye color: She was central heterochromia. Her eyes are forest green with brown encircling the pupils.

Birthday: May 24th 1920.

Gender: Female.

Sexual Orientation: Asexual/Aromantic.

Powers (if any): Well.... She eventually gets one which only adds to her migraine problem, but some bonding with Bruno. Retrocognition. She can see the past though it's mostly involuntary. She can have memories connected to another, but they'll be separate visions and out of order. Her organization and sharp memory help there. She writes each memory down and puts them in categories to connect. Its a heavy gift because she'll see horrible things like death, abuse and war. She even sees her mother's death again.

The tough thing is Francisca doesn't know an effective way to control visions until Bruno guides her. When she's tries controlling them it just causes her horrible pain. Her eyes turn a shiny dark green with a faint glow and her body goes rigid. Now and then, she gets a vision that's intense and she'll quote what she's hearing. Her voice automatically imitates the person speaking. So yeah...kind of creepy.

After experimenting, her gift is more similar to Bruno's. Instead of sand, shadows will seemingly crawl from behind and create a green sphere around her. She'll see the past in dark silhouettes. After each vision, she creates a small tablet of dark green glass. (It's about the size of a photograph.) When held up to light, the image appears looking like shadows. Her symbol would be a sundial since it's a symbol of time using shadow and she's witnessing shadows of the past.

Distinguishing features (if any): Skinny figure and rectangle body shape. Small chest and long limbs. Her fingers are also long and look delicate, but they're strong. Nose is kind of small but narrow like her mother's. Lips are a little more thin, but smile is identical to her sister's. Diamond shape face and thick eyebrows that are hidden under her bangs. Skin tone like Agustin.

Blood Type: O+.

Clothing

Day to day outfit: Forest green plain tiered skirt and hunter green petticoat. White blouse with quarter sleeves that has a scalloped neckline and sleeves. Has a fitted tan coat. Lace up brown boots that go to her calves. Wears a black hooded ruana during stormy weather. (If she had a power, she'd have her symbol stitched in dark green around the sleeves.)

Pajamas/What they wear to bed: White nightgown with a green embroidery of her initial. (Alejandra sewed it for her as an attempt of embroidery. Did I mention it was a birthday present?) More than half of the time falls asleep in her clothes.

Formal Clothes: Had a mint green Quinceanera dress and a blue dress she wore for her father and stepmother's wedding. Other than that, not really into formal outfits.

Work/School uniform: Nothing too different from her normal clothes.

Other (glasses, jewelry, etc): Tiny gold stud earrings. A braided leather bracelet that Alejandra made for her.

Health

Physical Illnesses: Headaches and even migraines which seem to be genetic from her grandfather, Vicente Cordova. She'll get so nauseous from the migraines she'll vomit and lay down all day.

Mental Illnesses or disorders: N/A.

Medications?: Uses different herbal remedies, heat compresses and tea. She's had doctors give her other medicines over the years. Alejandra once bought her a medicine that ended up making her vomit even more.

Addictions (Drugs, alcohol?): Does addiction to coffee count?

General Health: Fine enough, but it could be better if she had restful sleep and no migraines.

Life/Preferences:

Likes: Books, coffee, chess, organizing, piano and solving mind games.

Dislikes: Social interactions, overly emotional people, migraines, vomiting, Alejandra's mice getting in her stuff and concepts she can't understand like magic. Also dislikes avocados due to a bad experience.

Career: Doctor assistant.

Hobbies/Talents: Excellent memory, keen eye for detail and sketching. Can imitate voices well. Despite being forced to piano lessons she's very good and loved it when she could play something she liked.

Habits (good or bad): Habit of smoking, but she's tried to quit. She only has a cigarette now and then.

Family: Fraternal twin sister Alejandra who's 20 minutes younger. Her mother Mercedes and father Pablo Salazar. Also has a stepmother and half-siblings that she's indifferent towards. Her aunt Desideria and grandparents Maria and Vicente. Her step grandfather Armando. She doesn't know them well.

Friends: Besides her twin, not many. She has one friend: a helpful young man named Ramon Sandoval who lives nearby. He's one of the few who understands her and has managed to gain her respect and trust. Gets along well with her boss Dr. Velasquez.

Romantic/Love Interest(s): None.

Pets: Litzy, a cat rescued by Francisca. She meant to find new owners for Litzy, but the kitten attached itself to her. Even Francisca who could be unsocial and cold, found she couldn't let her go. Litzy became her quiet, but affectionate companion. Also has a mule named Vendaval who has been mistaken for the legendary Mula Retinta. She won him from a conartist when Alejandra didn't have a horse.

Social Status: Middle class.

Favorite Food: Almojábana (a Colombian cheese bread). Her favorite drink is coffee. She doesn't take any sugar or cream. Just plain black coffee.

Favorite Color: Dark green.

Favorite genre of music: She prefers soft folk music that isn't hard on her ears.

Favorite movie genre: Probably mystery or documentary.

Favorite Animal: She won't say it aloud, but she likes cats.

Degree of Education: Though she had basic schooling, she's very intelligent. She was able to read at 4 years old and spent all her free time learning.  

What language(s) can they speak?: Spanish, English, Palenquero and Vlax Romani.

Can they cook?: Average cook. To her, fancy meals aren't as important as basic food.

Personality

Positive Traits: Intelligent, logical, confident, astute and can be caring. She's a little protective of her sister.

Negative Traits: Insensitive, combative, judgmental and a little arrogant.

Archetype: Um...not sure about this one. Maybe the Magician archetype?

Way they interact with others: Francisca is unsocial. She's quiet around others, but she's analyzing them. If she's ticked off, she'll act calm, but have quite the biting words. However, if someone has earned her trust and respect, she softens. She'll be more caring.

Way of speaking: Voice inspiration is Rachel Zegler.

Introvert or Extrovert?: Introvert. Going by the MBTI, she'd be an INTJ. One if my besties is that type. :)

Backstory

Francisca was deemed strange by her family since she was little. She seemed smarter than she should be for her age. Her grandparents, aunts, uncles and later on cousins loved her, but just didn't understand her. Unfortunately, this became the situation with her father, Pablo. He'd encourage her to play like a normal child and it'd backfire. She didn't like hugs much and he couldn't understand why. The only ones who knew Francisca best were Mercedes and Alejandra. With her parents separating, she wasn't that upset because she and Pablo weren't close. She's had (and still has) to be the rational one with problems since Alejandra has anxiety.

Life Goals

Francisca's life goals? Just solving whatever problem comes her way.

Favorite fictional characters: FIREKIT but if fan OCs dont count then probably like...Pidge.  Or Pabu.  Probably Pabu.  I fucking love cute animals Favorite book: I was going to say “I dont know, I dont read enough” but honestly its any of the ATLA graphic novels.  I have a problem.

aro/ace selfship pride week

day 1: what being aroace means to you

thank you @no-romance-selfship-imagines for doing this! :3c sorry this is a day late ;v;

i’ve identified as gray aroace for 5-6 years maybe ( = age 13-14 to now)? i’ve never felt the desires to have romantic or sexual relationships with others which is kind of ironic because i love everything romantic and sexual; i wanted to be able to fall in love with someone (and still do just only to one person and my romantic f/os) and i like feeling good from sex. to put it in other words, i just like having emotional closeness with someone even if i didnt love them in a romantic way. it was both weird and kind of disheartening at first finding out that i couldn’t love my exes or anyone else for that matter the same way they did with me and vice versa with sex.

the only times i do feel romantic and sexual attraction are to fictional characters. i had no idea that the terms aromantic and asexual existed until i looked up my exprience on and found out about the forum AVEN (Asexuality Visibility & Education Network) and read others’ experiences. it was pretty cool finding out that being romance favorable aro and sex favorable ace exist and i was like yay those are both me! of course i was just strictly aroace until i met my best friend who was the one person i mentioned earlier and now i’m gray aroace along with agender and gay/nblm :p

anyways onto what being aroace means to me, my aromantic and asexual identities are very important parts of me and i couldn’t have it any other way! it really helps me better understand my feelings, actions, and current and future relationships i’ll come across. i love being aroace; i’m still working on accepting that it’s ok to be romance favorable aro and sex favorable ace because it does make me feel guilty identifying as either one. i try to remind myself that i’m still valid and also i just love seeing other arospec and acespec folks come together like this ovo it makes me feel less alone.
