Surprise Adoption

Platonic Yandere Male Harpy x Male Child Reader (CW: Orphan reader, harpy man, kidnapping, soft yandere themes) Word Count: 1.6k (Tumblr is no longer allowing me to make posts from or reply directly to anything in my inbox so this is the anon request this fic is for:  “Hi! Are you willing to write Platonic yanderes? If you are could you write a (male) Platonic Yandere Harpy with a (male) child  reader senerio? The Harpy lost all of his eggs due to hunters and while mourning he sees the reader and believes that it’s one of his young?”) (I hope this is okay, maybe not my best work, but I tried. Sorry it took so long. I made him just have one egg so he could stop searching instead of multiple, I made the reader an orphan so the ending could be happy instead of the reader being taken from a family)  Holden was so distraught, even years after the loss of his egg he was still grieving. Humans had raided his nest and he had barely escaped with his life. Harpy eggs take a very long time to develop and hatch and the time he devoted to nest building and to his egg and then the lost of them had mentally broken him.  It had been over three years, he still thought about his child every single day. His egg. Did it even hatch without him? If it did then what became of his hatchling?  He scoped out human cities and villages relentlessly when he finally found you. His beautiful son! In a field between the forest and a fenced building on the outskirts of a town. You had grown so much! Harpies did mature really fast after all. But what did they do to your legs, your feathers, your WINGS!??! They somehow made you look completely human!!  But that’s okay, he would not love you any less at all just because you were a bit different now! He was your parent and it was his job to love and care for you.  He had to resist the nearly overwhelming urge to snatch you up right then and there. You had lived with humans your whole life now, you even looked like one, Holden was no bird-brain, he knew that it could cause more harm than good to you if he forced a transition without being prepared first.  For now he would stick to the trees, shadows, and sky and silently observe you.  You were a 10 year old living in an orphanage, it was pretty lonely. You had been left on the orphanage doorstep as a baby and had spent your entire life here.  You supposed that it wasn’t so terrible, it wasn’t like the movies. There was no sadistic director, no evil psychopathic teachers, no terrible and relentless bullies. Everyone was nice enough, but you distanced yourself, no point in making friends. It just caused pain for everyone when they inevitably got adopted and left you behind. It happened a few times before you got the memo to stick to yourself.  You always got your chores and homework done quickly so you could spend extra time out in the yard, and when the coast was clear you snuck past through a secret hole in the fence and spent time in the field and forest beyond it.  There wasn’t much else to do. You were sitting at the base of a huge oak tree, listening to the birds and bugs as you doodled in the dirt with a stick. Before long you got sleepy and dozed off peacefully against the tree. It had been a pretty tiring day between classes and chores and the cool breeze made it feel just right for a quick cat nap even if you had not intended to take one.  A sudden chill made you reach for your blanket subconsciously, not finding it you woke up fully in confusion. You were moving over one hundred feet in the air. What the…? You must be dreaming! You finally noticed a tight grip on your arms and looked up.  Above you there was a huge bird-man holding your small arms in his large pink bird-like feet. Each toe was tipped with a wicked looking talon which sent a shiver down your spine. You could not see much of him from your angle but you saw the white feathers that covered his upper legs and his pink lower legs.  You screamed, you started to thrash but then thought better of it, if he dropped you here your head would certainly crack open like an egg.  “Wh-what are you doing!? Please don’t kill me!” You were utterly terrified, you did not even believe that harpies were real! And if they were real then they would nearly be extinct by now. “Am I dreaming???”  “Oh, I am so sorry (Y/N), I did not mean to scare you! Please don’t struggle. This isn’t a dream. You don’t need to worry, you have been asleep for a long time and we are almost home!” He spoke in a chipper, almost bubbly, voice with an upbeat energy.  “Why did you take me!? How do you know m-my name? Wh-what’s going on???” You began crying in confusion and terror. Your heart pounding in your chest. You were going to die, you were sure of it.  “Awe, please don’t cry! I have pizza at home, I know you don’t never miss pizza day so I made sure to make some for you so you won’t be grumpy! You’re my son and I have been watching you so I could prepare for your return to live with me.”  “W-what? That’s insa… I’m n-not a harp-” You could barely get the words out as you sobbed.  “We can talk more inside! We are almost there.” A few minutes later and you had managed to calm down a little bit as he flew you into a forest of colossal trees. It did not take you two long to approach a wooden building in the trees.  He put you down gently on a porch that wrapped around the entirety of a large tree house that was built around four massive trees before landing beside you. It was pretty impressive, there were solar panels on the top and you were at least 100 feat up above the ground with a nice wooden bridge that went from the porch to a hill near the house. The hill had a dirt trail that lead down to the forest floor.  You could easily make a run for it. There was no telling what this kidnapper had in store for you. You started to take a few steps backward but before you could bolt the yellow harpy grabbed your wrist and pulled you inside excitedly.  The bird man closed the door behind you and flipped on a light, the house was huge! It was all wood and very spacious. The room you were in was furnished with shiny little trinkets and baubles hanging from the ceiling, a couch, and a small TV.  Now that he was standing in front of you and not carrying you through the air you could see him clearly for the first time.  He resembled a cockatiel, like the one the director had in his office at the orphanage. Plumage covered almost his entire body except for his face and his legs below the knee. His legs were pink and ended in the foot of a bird with sharp talons, his face had orange circles on his cheeks and his hair was long and yellow. His feathers around his neck were grey but the rest were white except for his wing tips which were as bright and yellow as the sun.  He pulled you into a tight hug and you squirmed uncomfortably. “oh, uh, sorry, I am getting ahead of myself, I forgot to even introduce myself, I am just so happy. I am Holden. Your father!” He guided you to the couch and had sit and he took a seat beside you.  “Uh, well, I think you have the wrong boy. I am not a h-harpy, I don’t even have wings! Or a single feather, I can’t be your son!”  At this he looked at you with sincere sympathy and spoke softly, “Hey, don’t worry about that! Just because they altered you doesn’t mean I love you any less okay? I know you were taken and raised as a human and that’s okay.” Holden gently ruffled your hair.  “Are you insane? I am a HUMAN! You can’t keep me here!” You were scared and annoyed and overall confused by the events of today. You just wanted to go back home and crawl into your bed.  “I know it will be a rough transition and hard to accept (Y/N), but I am your father and I know best and I promise to be patient, anyway, you’re probably famished! I know I made you miss pizza day but no worries~ I made you one earlier, let me go heat up a slice!” The harpy smiled and hummed happily as he went off into the kitchen to get you food.  You considered bolting out the door, but it was dark and you had no idea how to get back home. And truth be told you were starving, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to grab some food before planning a later escape. You couldn’t flee on an empty stomach after all.  After a few minutes he came back into the living room as bubbly and chipper as ever with a plate of food he handed to you with a couple slices of your favorite type of pizza, except unlike at the orphanage it had cheese stuffed crust.  “I hope you like it! I learned how to make it myself for you, I cannot expect you to live like a harpy after living among humans so I will live more like a human for you! I made sure we have electricity and that everything is accessible with stairs, and of course I got human furniture. I know you’ll be happy here eventually my little nestling!” His voice held his normal upbeat optimism, but there was something more in his eyes, something like desperation for you to be happy here.  You could tell he was really putting all his effort into making you accept life here. The way he looked at you with love and acceptance made you feel odd. You had never had anyone care about you like this before.  As you took a bite into your homemade pizza baked with love while Holden started rubbed your back soothingly you started to think that maybe living here as his son wouldn’t really be a bad thing. You had just been adopted in a slightly different manner than usual.

gonna be redrawing a really old pic for lee, but eagr needed an update first

his lore still needs reworking but as of now he's like. a "false" harpy (cockatiel+monk parakeet mashup) he cant fly, his wings dont retract, and his talons start at his ankle (in this case a "true" harpy is more akin to a bird shapeshifter. eagr has no natural ability to change his form)

Hello! I love your icemav wings au and I wanted to ask if you had any thoughts about which bird(s) their wings resembles most? <3

YES!!!!

Thank you I love these idiots and although feathers are a pain to draw they're worth it >:)

The short answer would be:

• Maverick - Peregrine falcon

• Goose - Goose

•Ice - Harpy eagle

• Slider - Bearded vulture

The long answer!

Includes that Mav is smol and fast and a menace. So I chose the fastest shit I could find, which happens to be small too.

(birds show sexual dimorphism, in prey birds it usually means the males are smaller lol, mav is meant to be a short king)

Goose would be because I had to. Fucker would look gorgeous with white wings.

Ice is a harpy eagle but like, the ones that have more white, because I love them. Also when they pull their head feathers up they remind me of his hair and we gotta show those frosty tips somehow as a bird too.

Bearded vulture is because I love them and I support german Slider. One name for them is Lämmergeier which means Lamb-vulture in german and I think he'd call Mav little lamb to annoy him.

Carole could be a yellow cockatiel because she's funny and pretty like that but also than nice bird temper.

That'd also leave baby Rooster being all fluffy with yellowy downy feathers.

The Beaker

This is Cog “Beaker” Inkdies, Champion of Baldbrass. He’s called the Beaker because he wields Baldbrass’ artifact warhammer “Eshesemuth”, AKA “Spunbeak”. Perhaps it was named such because Cog was from Joytooth, which was famously destroyed by giant birds. Cog still bears the scars from a giant cockatiel, and wears a giant sparrow nail amulet as a reminder of those dark times. But now the peckee has become the pecker. With Spunbeak in his left hand, Cog defends Baldbrass from goblins, fish men, blind cave ogres, and the odd undead harpy.

Interestingly, images of the dragon One Glowguilds murdering elves is a cultural touchstone of the dwarves of The Nourishing Axe. Left to their own devices, these dwarves are happy to make statue after statue of this particular dragon eating elves. They don’t have Television, so they entertain themselves in other ways.

Cog also wears another artifact-- a pair of “blocky dog bone greaves”. We slaughtered a unicorn while these were being made, and I have to admit that I’m pretty disappointed in the creator’s choices.

The jagged dagger on his loincloth was commissioned by the Temple of Ingtak as a reminder that sneakery and thievitude are both ideals to aspire to - even if you’re a head-smashing Hammer Lord.

Behind the Beaker, we can see one of his many war dogs (each militia commander gets a handful of war dogs) and his son Ingish Uttergold. Ingish’s mother died of chronic pecking in Joytooth, and Ingish didn’t take it well. At the age of three, he was wandering the halls of Baldbrass picking fights with other kids, war dogs, and the occasional chef. By the next year he was toppling clothiers shops and breaking swordsdwarves’ arms. I began to wonder if we couldn’t Batman this kid. If he could just somehow just make it through the next fourteen years or so without snapping...

But alas. It was not to be. After putting one of our masons in the hospital, someone (cough) accidentally locked Ingish in a warehouse for several months where he perished. So sad, but these things happen.

Cog has taken it all in stride, learning to value law a bit more after seeing what happened to his lawless spawn. Now he puts all of his rage into his work. And the drinking. So much drinking.

…what birds would jo, diosia, and alt ganon be…. also any favorite birds. or bird facts

OHH i actually have assigned birds to some of them :] iirc ganon has been a cooper's hawk for a while and I think it still fits him. he's gone through some pretty drastic changes over the past year or so, so i've considered harpy eagle but...eh i still think cooper's hawk is better. jo is a savannah sparrow! diosia is an agami heron :]

uhh favorite birds. i rly like cockatiels, chickens, peacocks as well...and pigeon. corvids and parrots ofc. ALSO if we can count archeopteryx then yes

[vampcubus]

U-um so like- what kind of birds do you think the hashira are? 🥺🥺

A-and like- what kind of bird am I?

🙈🙈 this is the part where i confess that i don’t know a whole lot about birds aside from random facts. very cringefail of me i know

BUTTTT here’s some vibes I get off the top of my head 🤔

Kyojuro REEKS of cockatoo energy, since they’re so exuberant and silly. And of course the obvious option being an owl! (A red one ofc 💕)

Tengen hmm… probably a flamboyant bird that does dances to attract mates 🤭

I can see Giyuu being a cute lil budgie 🥺🥺 or a crow. It would take lots of patience and snacks to win his trust but he’d be fiercely loyal. (Crows can even hold grudges!)

I can imagine Sanemi as a huge harpy eagle!!

Hmmm, maybe Shinobu’s a crane? They always struck me as these elegant birds and I think that suits her.

I can definitely see Mitsuri being a cockatiel!!

And for Muichiro hmmm… perhaps a black swan?

I FORGOT GYOMEI 😭 aaa I really can’t think of anything for him.

I think you’d be a hyacinth macaw, they’re known for being both intelligent and friendly! Not to mention they’re incredibly pretty an-and you’re pretty s-so 👉👈

A Study of Harpies: Bird Women of the Iliac Bay

by Viviri Corvius, Scholar of the College of Whispers

Harpies are bird-women hybrids known to wander across different parts of the continent of Tamriel. While often associated with the Iliac Bay region of Hammerfell and High Rock, they’ve also been found in northwestern Valenwood, northern and northwestern Elsweyr, northeastern High Rock, the eastern Alik’r Desert of Hammerfell, and northeastern Hammerfell.

Though typically red- or purple-feathered, the inbred harpies of Wrothgar [1] (northeastern High Rock) appear in twisted red and black feathers. It is worth noting that the average harpy looks like a younger human woman with dainty noses and many bird traits, while the Wrothgarian variants look far older and have large, hooked noses and far more bird traits than even the typical harpy. Snow harpies are known to live in cold climates, while there was also once a cockatiel-like species in Valenwood that is likely extinct now. The feathers and down of harpies are treasured for various purposes, including the making of quills or mages’ robes. They are also known to smell quite bad.

Despite their notable lack of intelligence (the inbred variants in Wrothgar being even less so), harpies have a rudimentary language that is possible for other races to learn and use. In battle and other day-to-day situations, harpy speech is also characterized by shrieks and warbles.

These carnivorous hunters and scavengers will eat any form of meat regardless of how long it’s been dead. Like birds, they build nests, circle things in the skies, and feed their chicks (which hatch from eggs) regurgitated food. They are protective of their eggs and young and often find themselves in conflict with mercenaries, trading caravans, and Argonians that steal the eggs as delicacies and prizes. This, in turn, leads to mercenary groups being hired to wipe out harpy groups. Harpies have also been known to snatch up human men – often soldiers – and fly away with them, often to breed with and then consume.

Harpies are not always antagonistic towards other races. Any individual who returns stolen eggs or protects harpies will find themselves with the favor of these avian beastfolk, who may help the individual in battle or offer shelter. Pirates, hags, and hagravens have all been known to hire, tend to, or be served by harpies. The city of Kozanset, located in the eastern Alik’r Desert, live in peaceful harmony with their local harpies and sometimes work alongside them to protect the city.

Despite being shunned by the faithful of Tava, the Redguard spirit of the air and goddess of weather, harpies are associated with a number of Aedra and Daedra. Kynareth, Mara, Dibella (who, noticeably, does not shun the love of harpies with other races), Zenithar, and even the Daedra Nocturnal by the name Noctyr-a have been associated with harpies or encourage the learning of their language and customs. The stories told by harpies about their fore-mothers speak of Daedra-worshiping humans in Lainlyn (located at the northern coast of the Alik’r Desert in Hammerfell) who were magically transformed into the first harpies by an otherwise unknown magic robe. The location of this city explains the disdain of the Redguard figure Tava towards the harpies because of the actions of this Noctyr-a cult many years ago. Interestingly, in the origin story of the harpies, Noctyr-a is depicted not as a goddess, but as a mortal who turns into the first black-feathered harpy.

Among themselves, harpies create matriarchal but primitive groups led by the oldest and most powerful individuals. The other harpies in these groups venerate and congregate around these older and more powerful matriarchs. While all harpies have some level of control over the air and wind, only older ones have the power of lightning at their talon-tips. No harpies to date have been known to dabble in other Destruction elements (fire and frost), though there have been arguments that proper magic and spells would go right over the heads of harpies.

[1] It is unknown how harpies, an all-female species, can become “inbred”. My colleague suggested that they were interbreeding with their human half-brothers or other relatives.

[codgod-moved]

some suggestions for your stands/bird post thing.

Scar: magpie, pretty but dangerous. or one of those really pretty pigeons.

Martyn: budgie is good but maybe a green parrot or a cockatiel?

Cleo: either a crow or vulture - because of the whole dead thing. also crows are cute.

Etho: Canadian goose - he's Canadian and geese are fairly resilient and can hold their own in a fight. also a little bit crazy.

WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF CANADIAN GOOSE i’ll definitely consider that

and i was actually thinking vulture for cleo after i laid down to sleep last night. i think that or a crow or raven would be better than a harpy, harpies are probably too humanoid for what i’m going for

also idk how to tell you this but budgies are green parrots

#.asks #also what on earth do u mean by stands #is that a typo or do u think i’m the kind of person who’s seen jojo

Pokémon/Game Mechanic Concepts

Usage-Related Concepts

Gimmick Pokémon whose ability gives it a random ability out of all abilities aside from its own

"Glitch" Pokémon that changes into a random Pokémon each time it battles

Legendary (man-made?) that learns the signature moves of many other legendaries without events

Legendaries with 255 in a single base stat; other stats are on par with lower-tier legends most likely (the ultimate physical attacker, etc.)

Legendary with ability that nullifies all other abilities as long as it is in play

"Legendary mimic" that imitates legendaries (how?) even though it isn't one itself, or something that wants to become a legendary the way that bagon wants to fly; give it an actual legendary "relative" sort of like carbink/diancie?

Psychic/fighting-type (or dark/fighting?) based on “telegraphing punches”… except instead of actually telegraphing its punches, it only looks like it’s about to hit a certain way, thus setting the opponent up to deal with that hit when in reality they’re coming in from a different angle entirely

Roaming legendaries found via means other than grass/surfing: fishing, caves, shaking grass, appearing in the overworld, etc.

Something to do with larger "type polygons": for example, an eeveelution-like group or other set of seven things that are Steel/Rock/Flying/Bug/Grass/Water/Fire

Substitute doll Pokémon

Version-exclusive evolutions for the same Pokémon (possibly along the lines of Deoxys's original forme change method, though as with Deoxys you'd need to think of a way to account for third versions and later gens)

Name-Related Concepts

Note: some of these ideas are actual puns/portmaneaus that happened to hit me before a proper concept did, some are existing objects/creatures/concepts with interesting names, and the rest are literally nonsense words that might still be able to inspire some ideas. (If you want to experiment more with the latter, try looking up "random fantasy name generators" online and seeing if you can make something of the generators' results!)
