First Person's POV

With a huff, I entered the Mikaelson compound, rested my coat on the coat rack and slid down against the door, resting my face in my hand. Oh god I was tired, I felt exhausted and just wanted to sleep. I waved slightly to Elijah as he popped his head around from the corner and I hummed lightly as he sat next to me and rested a kiss on the side of my head.

"I could just fall asleep right here, I'm not against sleeping on the floor, the floor is comfy and somehow grounding. No pun intended." Elijah's warm chuckle made me feel safe, I smiled as he easily picked me up and my bag, and within a flash we were both in our shared bedroom. Elijah rested my bag against the door, rested me on the bed and rested a chaste kiss against my lips.

"I'll draw you a bath, make some dinner while you're in there and then we can lay in bed together."

"Sounds perfect." As Elijah prepared my bath for me, I gathered my pyjamas and giggled as Elijah carried me to the bathroom, the vampire left me be to relax and soak in the warm water. He lit all my favourite candles and soaked the water in lavender bath salts.

I sunk further into the water, letting the water nearly swallow me whole, I don't know how much time passed but I heard a gentle knock on the door and Elijah's voice greet my ears.

"Dinner's almost ready..."

"Thank you, I'll be out shortly." I drained the tub, scrunching my face up at the gurgling sound of the water shooting down the drain. I dressed myself into my pyjamas, smiling lightly as Elijah prepped a small dinner set up near the bed so we were able to eat and then easily go back to bed.

"Tell me about your day, my love." Elijah cooed, taking my hand as we sat together at the small table.

"The test... I swear I prepared all the wrong things, I went in feeling confident and came out feeling like I studied all the wrong things.

"I'm sure you did just fine, my love. You studied so hard, I wouldn't worry about not passing."

"What if I failed?"

"You wouldn't have failed, If you did I can compel them to allow you to resit. I always offer and because you are so intelligent, my love. I wouldn't worry about this, I promise. You worked so hard to get to this point, there's no need to worry, I'm always here to help you with your schooling."

"Thank you, Elijah, I appreciate this."

"Always and forever." I smiled hearing him say the words so softly and so reassuringly. Together we ate the toasties he made, I felt like a princess being given the toasties. A comfort food, that I've had for years and knowing that Elijah knew all this made me incredibly happy.

"What about you, how was your day?" I questioned, pouting slightly as he shook his and took my hands into his.

"Do not worry about me, my love, all I want you to focus on, is you." This man made me feel so safe, I hummed as after I finished he carried me back to the bathroom so we could brush our teeth and I could do my skincare routine. Elijah picked me up after I finished, I giggled in his arms, smiling as we laid together in bed and he brought me against his chest.

"I love you, Elijah."

"I love you more, my love." Elijah would periodically rest gentle kisses across my face, he cooed gently, whispering words into my ear and rubbed circles against my back. I always enjoyed laying in his arms, I always enjoyed having Elijah wrap me in his arms, protecting me against all physical and internal evils.

"Tomorrow, just take it easy, we can just relax in bed. I'll treat you in bed all day, just a you and me day. No supernatural issues, you can show me all those movies you like, I can read you that book you wanted me to read."

"Hmm, sounds perfect," I whispered, sleepily, curling closer against him.

"Get some sleep, my love. I'll look after you."

"Thank you for being so great."

"Always." His gentle caress against my skin, lulled me to sleep, it was soothing and made all the issues disappear. I could feel myself falling asleep, for once sleep came in a gentle breeze, made me feel at ease for once in my life and having Elijah at my side made it that much easier to feel safe and happier.

Weeks of very repetitive Gale jokes have made me a very aggro defender but I do still very much think they needed a different way to handle his response to the player having developing relationships with other party members.

Here's my thing. Its not a writing flaw that he's monogamous, or at least set on a monogamous relationship after his experience with Mystra. Its not a writing flaw that his romance flags develop pretty rapidly; after years with a very emotionally unavailable goddess and with the high stress scenario they're in I think it is very understandable that he would latch onto someone who not only shows him positive attention but is helping him manage an extremely frightening condition. Its also not necessarily a writing flaw that he's kind of a manipulative dickhead if your relationship is progressing further with someone else.

It just needed to be more confidently engaged with as a flaw.

Because here's the thing the passive aggressive sadboy act is certainly not BENEATH Gale. He tends not to handle losing very well. He doesn't have much experience managing feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. He also just got out of an incredibly lopsided and uneven relationship where one of the things that continued to trouble him was feeling like a lower priority, like this person who was the center of his world saw him as just a nice accessory to hers. In light of all that I think its very understandable that he would lash out if he felt like the object of his affections was showing more preferential treatment to someone else, even if they were't properly in a relationshp yet. Its a self-defensive measure, not unlike Shadowheart writing you off for most of your early interactions or Astarion fully manipulating you with seduction during the first stages of your romance. Every companion is wrestling (and usually wrestling poorly) with the baggage of their previous situation and it will come heavily to bear on their relationship with Tav.

My primary issue is that outside of ending the relationship or an offhand comment about how you didn't know he felt this way (which leads to more of a pity party about how he just isnt enough for Tav) you aren't really able to push back on Gale's reasoning. You can sever the relationship, terminate the flirting stage, or you can just affirm him by choosing him. You can't really communicate hey. I care about you. Why are you speaking to me like I did this to hurt you on purpose. Even if he storms off in that conversation I think there very much was potential there to have some genuinely compelling character growth for Gale, with him confronting how many foundational issues there were in his dynamic with Mystra that he's unthinkingly putting on Tav. Tav would be given the opportunity to recognize where their partner is at and either draw a hard boundary, or extend a bit of grace depending on the feelings of that character and the player.

Again none of this required Gale to have a less shitty reaction to the scenario the point wouldn't be to scrub away conflict. Just to provide some additional opportunities to challenge your friend/LI and use it to develop both them and your PC

THE POLL GODD I NEVER THOUGHT SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD VOTE.

Am I being too dramatic? Bish who cares.

So basically "MAFIA HEESEUNG" won the votes. So here it is besties.

Your wish is my command.

Heeversee Present ✨

A Mafia Heesung au

Chapter 01

You were one of the kind who was used as a personal coffee maker in your office. Even tho you were like every other employee.

So you decide to leave your office and search for another.

Since you didn't get any job after a long 3 months of being job less. You had to do something to feed your poor soul. you were all alone without any family or friends.

You luckily got a job in a nearby High-class cafe and bakery. Well baking was your talent and who didn't want a job in a High-class cafe? so you decide to take up the job.

There were various types of people who would come. grumpy rich office workers, rich giggling High schoolers, big body builders and rich but bubbly and kind grannies, business men's and women's.

In short this cafe was only for rich ass people.

Today you happen to arrive late, which didn't actually cause any problem because your manager was a very kind woman, she knew that you never skipped work for fun and were punctual.

Heeseung, the mafia boss, walks into this high class cafe.

His dark aura quickly hushing the place is bustling with people.

The smell of fresh coffee lingers in the air.

He sees an empty table and makes his way to it, hoping to get a cup of coffee.

He sits down and sets his suit jacket on the chair next to him as he pulls out his phone, ready to work.

That's when he notices you at the counter, your back turned to him. Heeseung sees you and is surprised, because at first glance, you looked so incredibly innocent and pure.

He smirks wickedly enough to make almost all the customers run out of the cafe for their life. The only ones there were his own men.

He watches as you put on your coffee shop attire; apron and your uniform shirt. As your uniform shirt goes over your head.

He peeks to see your face. Your hair is tied up neatly in a ponytail and your face is clean with no makeup. However, your dark, sparkling eyes are the first thing Heeseung notices; they draw his attention in like a magnet.

He can't look away. Your beauty is something he's never seen before, it truly is a once in a lifetime sight.

You turn around with the apron on, ready to start work. But once you look up at the man who is absolutely handsome yet had cold, blank expression has been staring at you,

You drop what you were holding. It falls onto the ground with a loud bang but Heeseung doesn't notice; he's stuck staring into these eyes. He doesn't understand why he feels this way. This isn't something he would normally do, but there was just something about this girl... something that just drew him in.

They stare at each other for moments in silence. Heeseung feels this weird sensation that he's never felt before. What is this? Happiness? Love? Fear? He just... doesn't know. He can see you trembling.

You were scared. He walks over to you and kneels down. Something compelled him to do it. Heesung reaches out to you, gently picking up the items you had dropped. He's surprised to see that you dropped your uniform badge.

"y/n" your name rolling off his tongue like butter. You like the sound of it. You were forced to snap into reality when you saw the cafe half empty, the rest of the men dressed in black suits staring at you and watching the unknown man in front of you in fear.

"I'm so sorry sir" you were the first to get up and smooth down your shirt.

"w-what may I get you?" You stutter making it more embarrassing for yourself.

"A black coffee with 20% sugar" he says as he held his card in front of you.

Your shivering hands slightly graze his knuckles as you take the card.

You saw the name on his black card "Lee Heeseung".

When you were busy preparing the order for heesung, he sat manspreading watching you work through his eyes filled with lust and an unknown feeling.

Recalling the touch of your fingers even tho it was for a second, and the moment feels like an eternity.

He could feel your heat, he could feel your emotions as you just looking into his eyes, terrified.

But oddly, Heeseung wants to keep you to himself, keep you all to himself. It's like he knows, he knows that this girl is gonna be the one. Heeseung is gonna make you his.

Chapter 02 soon. Now I can't add smut when they just met can't I?

Edited.

I can't believe all this time I wrote heeseung's spelling wrong and you all didn't tell me 😭

Web of faith

Masterlist- BG3 masterlist

Chapters: 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 6 - 7

Words: 3703 (sorry it turned out to be so endlessly long^^)

Warnings: smut (18+), more precisely smut including the drider version of Kar'niss

Summary: you finally entered the shadow-cursed lands and called out to your guide, but you didn't expect to know him...

Chapter 4

As soon as your tadpole reached out, you were taken aback to discover something familiar. You couldn't quite pinpoint what it was, but the mind that responded felt incredibly comforting and recognisable, seamlessly connecting with your own. Drider was your first thought as you heard the clicking of spiderlegs approaching in the darkness accompanied by a pale white light. Your hand instinctively went to the hilt of your sword but your body froze as soon as the drider was in sight.

"Yes", the drider spoke with a raspy voice, "I hear them, your majesty. Calling us."

His enormous spider-like form would have instilled terror in most others, particularly the goblins, the half-orc, and your companions. However, your gaze was fixated on his face. It appeared different, yet strangely familiar. The eyes were engulfed in darkness with light brown irises, and there were five additional spider eyes on the left side. Beautifully cascading white hair adorned his broad shoulders, swept behind the ear on the same side you used to do it. And there it was, that unmistakable scar on his full, soft lips. He had changed, had become disfigured, but beneath it all, you immediately recognised an undeniable beauty. The same beauty that had captivated you back then in Menzoberranzan. You couldn't believe what you were seeing - he was alive. Your beloved was alive. Though your mind acknowledged that his transformation into a drider meant he had endured immense pain and suffering for failing Lolth's test, your heart could not deny the sheer joy of witnessing him breathing and relatively well before you.

Kar'niss hesitated to appear when he sensed the presence reaching out to him. It echoed the same tune as the other voice in his mind, that gentle melody piercing through the commanding tone of his queen, softer but irresistibly captivating. He desired to distance himself, to avoid committing any offense against her majesty, as it had nearly destroyed him before. However, he found himself unable to resist the allure of that melody and then he caught sight of that exquisite visage, seamlessly weaving through his fractured memories like a crimson thread. Though unaccompanied by a name, he was intrigued. If his queen permitted, he felt compelled to uncover more. Before he could utter a word, the half-orc stepped forward, breaking the uneasy silence.

"Greetings in the Absolute's name, you have been charged with guiding us", he said, deliberately avoiding meeting the gaze of the drider as his feet shuffled nervously.

"New flesh for you, my queen. But who are they?", he approached you, drawing nearer until his face was directly in front of yours, his body stooping low. The pale glow from the lantern cast an mellow light on your countenance as you stared at him with wide, tear-filled eyes.

"Niss, is that you?", your voice quivered, unable to contain the mixture of agony and inexplicable joy welling up within you.

Your minds connected and you heard a whispered voice, unsure if it was the Absolute or just the echoes of his fractured mind reverberating in the dark but deep in there, just a fraction of a second, your own voice resonated alongside a fleeting image: delicate fingers tenderly brushing his hair away from his face. The connection abruptly severed, leaving Kar'niss bewildered, his face etched with confusion as he desperately grasped at the fading memory, only to find it eluding him. A bitter taste of shame gnawed at his very soul.

"Bless us again, majesty. Shine your light, protect us!", Kar'niss spoke with an agitated tone, spinning around and striding away, "follow us or die in the shadows!"

Your companions exchanged whispered words amongst themselves. It was clear to them that you had some connection to this drider, but you paid no mind to their inquiries. Your sole concern was Kar'niss in this moment. Hastening past the group, you positioned yourself by his side. Though he remained silent, his gaze shifted towards you, filled with curiosity and a tinge of unease. You were well aware of the anguish that accompanied the creation of driders. Not even the smallest traces of the person they were before the transformation rarely remained, instead they became monstrous husks, their broken minds barely holding them together, filled with shame, sadness and anger. Your heart shattered when you delved into his thoughts, witnessing the devastation inflicted upon your beloved and now infected by the mind control of the Absolute's cult. The weight of it all burdened you, threatening to drown you in a sea of sorrow. Yet, you clung to that one glimmer of hope as you heard your own voice and witnessed a shared memory. Deep down, you believed that the real him still existed, buried beneath layers of pain and madness. You were determined to dig him up again, even if it meant using your bare hands and dedicating the rest of your life to the endeavour. You swore to yourself that you would do everything in your power to reclaim your one true love.

"Niss, do you remember me?", you cautiously inquired, your hand reaching out towards him, however, before it could make contact, he retreated.

You suppressed a sob that threatened to escape your lips, battling the pain that surged within you at his rejection.

"Niss, please", you begged, almost whispering to ensure the others wouldn't overhear.

Kar'niss felt a tightness in his chest upon hearing your words, as if an invisible force had stolen the air from his lungs, leaving him bewildered. Who was this young drow and why did she address him with the same name as the other voice? Why did he feel so drawn to her? He understood that his loyalty should lie solely with his queen, the one who had bestowed upon him purpose and value. Yet, he yearned to bow before this drow, to worship and love her. The ease with which he entertained such thoughts of betrayal to his queen terrified him. He must not allow the drow to touch him; he must distance himself, seek guidance from his queen, beg for forgiveness, and determine the meaning of this drow from a safe distance. And yet, her melody echoed in his mind, growing louder and oh so sweet. How could he possibly resist?

"The shadows are strongest here, do not stray from the path, no matter what they promise", he warned, casting a glance at you before resuming his journey.

The remainder of the route was devoid of any noteworthy incidents, and you soon reached your destination: Moonrise Towers.

Kar'niss swiftly departed as the guards at Moonrise Towers greeted you, stealing a final glance before ascending the tower walls. Upon entering, a comforting warmth enveloped you, creating an almost inviting and friendly atmosphere, if not for your knowledge of the cult's true nature. However, the ambiance quickly shifted upon reaching the throne hall, where Ketheric Thorm sat in a state of irritation and boredom, standing next to him a half-orc named Z'rell, who was currently torturing some goblins. Your attention drifted away, leaving Gale to handle the conversation while you focused on scanning your surroundings with the aid of your tadpole, desperately searching for any trace of Kar'niss. Finally, you managed to detect his presence. The sound of your name being mentioned abruptly snapped you back to reality.

"Were you even listening to a word I just said?", Gale let out a sigh, but upon noticing the guilt in your expression, he decided not to dig further, "let's head to Balthazar's room and get that lantern."

You nodded, taking the lead and pausing in the middle of the library. You gazed upward, a faint smile appearing as you spotted an opening in the ceiling.

"Would it be alright if you grab the lantern and search for Balthazar? I have something I need to attend to here."

The rest of the group frowned in disagreement, but Gale nodded, offering you a warm smile. He understood the significance of what you needed to do. If there was even a chance to save the one you loved, it was crucial to seize it. He couldn't help but admire your unwavering determination and the fact that your love continued to grow, despite your beloved being transformed into a creature that would terrify most.

Your mind reached out to Kar'niss, imploring him to join you. Initially, there was no response, but then you sensed his reluctance as he attempted to shut you out completely. It was only when you sent one final desperate plea that he relented. Niss, please. Emerging from a hole in the ceiling, the drider descended on a delicate thread of spider silk.

"Tiny excuse of a drow", he grumbled, "bothering us until we give in."

With his hands firmly gripping your waist, he effortlessly hoisted you over his shoulder. As he crawled up the wall, returning to his secluded space, he held onto you tightly.

"We shouldn't listen to you, it's treason, our queen will punish us."

He almost threw you into his little chamber and you had to use all your force and balance to not fall flat on your face. You crawled upon the blanket and took in your surroundings. It was a small little space, almost hidden away from the other cultists, a woollen blanket spread out on the floor, while the moon lantern's light engulfed everything in a calming pale white glow. You almost started to cry as you realised that his broken mind seemed to remember happy bits of his past and, without being aware it, recreated them to give him comfort.

As soon as Kar'niss slipped through the opening, his movements came to an abrupt halt, his numerous eyes scanning the scene unfolding before him. In that brief moment, his mind fell silent, devoid of voices or commands from his queen, leaving behind a comforting emptiness as he absorbed the sight of you sitting on his blanket, basking in the gentle glow of the lantern. It felt incredibly familiar, offering a sense of solace akin to returning home after a long day.

"We-we-I don't understand", he stuttered as he approached you, his voice shaky, "what is this magic? What trick are you playing on us?", he raised his voice and his mind reached out to yours.

You saw through his eyes, witnessing yourself holding a piece of fabric and placing it tenderly against his lips while wearing a smile. You heard your own voice uttering the first words you ever spoke to him: fear not, everything will be alright. Rest if you need to, I mean you no harm. The connection severed once again, causing you to gasp as you opened your eyes, unaware that Kar'niss had drawn nearer and was now seated directly in front of you. Tears streamed down his two ordinary eyes, a wave of sorrow engulfing him, threatening to consume and drown him entirely.

"Tiny goddess of flesh", he cried, his voice filled with despair, "we don't her the voice of our queen anymore, we failed again, we will be punished again. What are you doing to us? Why can't we resist?"

It pained you to witness his anguish. Seeking solace, you attempted to establish a mental connection once more. This time, there was no resistance on his part, allowing you to delve deep into the fragments that composed your cherished memories. Though distorted and scattered, they still existed. And within this ethereal realm of thoughts, you beheld it all. You relived the very first encounter, sensing his nervousness as he mustered the courage to confess his feelings. The warmth in his heart when your lips first met. You nearly became lost within the recollection of your final moments together, seeing yourself through his eyes. The touch of the ring on his fingertips stirred conflicting emotions of doubt, love, and the hope of marriage that spread within your own mind. And then, his thoughts suddenly struck against you, enveloping you in a sinister mist that seeped into your being, rendering you immobile. As the mist dispersed, you felt his heart racing in his chest, fear coursing through him, while a strange female voice called out your name. Looking up, you beheld the awe-inspiring yet terrifying figure of Lolth, demanding your demise as proof of his loyalty. His body trembled, and he let out a scream, unable to comply with the request. He pleaded for death, rejecting his goddess, and everything descended into darkness. The connection severed, leaving you gasping for breath, as you took a moment to reorient yourself and realise that you were still at Moonrise Towers. Your gaze fell upon Kar'niss and you sobbed, shuffling towards him, desperately grasping his face as if it might fracture at any given moment and you'd loose him again.

"We have failed," he wept, his voice choked with sorrow, "we always fail; we are insignificant... I... I am nothing."

Your heart was about the shatter into a thousand pieces, all these years of thinking he died where as he had been through the most cruel torment, simply because his love for you was stronger than any faith. You drew his face closer, your lips colliding with his in a passionate embrace, encapsulating all your sorrow, newfound happiness and everlasting devotion in one single kiss. It mattered not what he had become; he was present, he was alive and you would unleash chaos upon the world if necessary just to keep him safe. He made his selfless sacrifice for you long ago and now you would demonstrate that you were more than prepared to do the same for him.

Kar'niss' soul was silently screaming as his thoughts raced and clashed in an unending cycle. Whatever you did within his mind, it gradually reassembled fragments of his former self and without the Absolute poisoning him, the fog in his head cleared and he began to remember everything. Memories flooded back, capturing every fleeting instance of joy shared between the two of you, each intricate detail etched into his consciousness until the very moment he defied his deity to protect you. The rest was still enveloped in shrouds of darkness but it mattered little to him, all that was important to him was here, within his small space, kissing him deeply. Despite his doubts, he felt the radiance of your love piercing his very essence and even though he wanted to reject it, all too aware of the monster he was now, he simply couldn't, he'd take this moment of bliss for he was afraid it might be the last one for the rest of his miserable life. Kar'niss broke the kiss, gently removing your hands from his face and holding them tenderly as he gazed at you. Numerous thoughts raced through his mind, yet his lips remained silent, leaving you to break the silence.

"Yes", you said softly, a giggle escaping your lips at his bewildered expression, "the answer to the question you wanted to ask me the day before your trial, it is yes."

For the first time, Kar'niss let out a nervous chuckle, it was broken and yet it sounded the same as back then in Menzoberranzan, never failing to melt your heart away.

"It was", his voice cracked, exposing the dread and sorrow hidden within, "we are not the same, we are", he gestured towards the spider part of his body, "broken, not worthy, even less than before."

"Niss", you tenderly brushed a strand of his hair away from his face and tucked it behind his ear, "nothing has changed. I still love you and I would still say yes if you were to ask me now. I don't care how you look, you're my beloved still if you'll have me."

"But we are, we are-"

"Worthy", you finished his sentence, "you've always been."

You pressed your lips against his once more and this time he responded eagerly, his fingers tangling in your hair. Breaking the kiss first, you gasped for breath. You had missed this, missed him, and there was so much lost time to make up for. Kar'niss turned to the side, retrieving something from the floor before taking your hand and clumsily sliding a ring onto your finger with his trembling hands. Your mouth fell open in shock, speechless as you stared at the ring.

"We....I kept it", he placed a kiss on your hand, "never knowing why but it felt important, so we-I held on to it."

You hugged him tightly, pulling him down as you both descended to the ground. Kar'niss placed one hand on the floor beside you, careful not to put too much weight on you with his spider-like lower body. His breath hitched as he felt your legs wrap around his lower torso, urging him closer. Trying his best to keep a neutral expression, his pedipalps delicately caressed your sides, evoking a smile that tugged at the corners of your lips. In that moment, with your beloved lying atop you, his soft hair falling across your face, it felt as if time had stood still and this was just another blissful moment of togetherness like the many you shared in your past. Kar'niss couldn't help but grin, his fangs visible but not detracting from the gentle happiness in his smile. Sensing your mind reaching out to his, he closed his eyes and welcomed you in. This newfound form of intimate communication was something he cherished, as it allowed both of you to share emotions without the need for words.

At first, there was a sense of hesitation and confusion but then it became more apparent to him. The emotion that you were conveying to him was not just a simple connection; it was desire, a longing to be intimately close to him, projecting images of him kissing you. The intensity of your feelings was evident in the quickening of your heartbeat and the heat that emanated from your body as you pressed your hips against his. Overwhelmed by the moment, he let out a deep groan and momentarily lost himself in the embrace, nuzzling his face into the tender skin of your neck and peppering it with gentle kisses. Just as he thought you were about to pull away, thinking that you had come to your senses and were going to reject him, you surprised him by tenderly caressing his cheek.

"Would it hurt you if we...", your voice grew quiet as your gaze darted between your hips and him, "can you still do...this?"

Kar'niss blushed, his fair complexion turning all crimson as he raised his lower body slightly and extended one of his palps towards you. Without hesitation, your hand reached out and delicately caressed it, reconnecting your desires. Overwhelming waves of lust surged through you as you continued to stroke him, his eyes closing as he let out a deep groan. His other palp pressed against your clothed arousal, the desires of both of you intertwining through your connection. Sensing your hesitation, he opened his eyes, afraid that you might reconsider, but instead he felt you shifting beneath him, eager to remove your clothes. Kar'niss took a step back, his hands fumbling eagerly to help you remove your clothing until you were completely exposed beneath him. With a light touch, his hands traced over the contours of your body, careful not to harm you with his sharp claws. He licked his lips hungrily, battling against his inner demons to resist ravishing your body like the savage creature he had become.

"Niss please", you pleaded, echoing the same desperate request you had made in Menzoberranzan when he was about to make love to you for the first time. He lowered himself, positioning his face between your thighs, inhaling the intoxicating scent of your arousal before he eagerly indulged in your wet folds, licking and sucking as if starved for it. Your voice filled the air with sinful moans as you called out his name. It felt heavenly to be touched this way after all this time as you never let anyone close to you after you thought your beloved to be dead. Unable to hold back any longer, you succumbed to the pleasure, your legs trembling as you experienced your first orgasm. Kar'niss let out a primal growl, feeling the intensity of your climax through the deep connection you shared, his desire growing uncontrollable. His hands gripped your thighs tightly, pulling you closer and positioning you at the perfect angle. Whispers of a protective spell escaped your lips, hoping it would avoid you being sliced open from the inside as your bodies were not entirely compatible anymore to indulge in these kind of pleasures. One of his palps rested at your dripping entrance as the other was pressed against your clit. The intense connection between your bodies and the shared anticipation in your minds threatened to push Kar'niss over the edge but he restrained himself. He couldn't bear to disappoint you, not when you had willingly come back to him to love him again. Taking a deep breath, he slowly pushed himself inside you, overwhelmed by the pleasure of your tight walls squeezing around one palp and the other teasing your sensitive nub simultaneously. The sensation of him filling you was almost too much to handle, and despite your desire to take all of him, it was simply impossible. Moans escaped both of you in perfect harmony, as if you were synchronised in every way. He momentarily halted his movements, afraid of causing you any pain. You gave him a reassuring nod and he resumed his movements again, slowly thrusting into you. Both of you moaned loudly, the sensation heightened by your shared connection and it didn't take long for you to come undone at the same time. Your walls clenched around him and he growled your name, palp twitching as some liquid silk dripped out of his abdomen. The connection broke and, exhausted, Kar'niss laid down beside you, pulling you close in an affectionate embrace, his face buried in your soft hair, murmuring sweet words of affection. As you both drifted off to sleep, the tranquillity was shattered by piercing screams and the reverberating clash of weapons coming from the lower floors...

Some of my favorite Helsa fan arts I’ve done throughout the years (dates are in the alt text).

I’ve been thinking about this ship recently, especially its place in the fandom, and I have some thoughts (read below)

Ever since I was roped into this franchise 10 years ago, I think I’ve almost always drawn Hans with a beard. Primarily, it was because I felt that if he ever did show up again in Frozen media, he would be more weathered and unpretentious about his appearance since dropping his facade in the first film. Also because I just thought he would look better with more facial hair (it’s a me thing).

As for Elsa, I’ve never been consistent in drawing her, as it was hard for me to read her animated model, what with her huge eyes and baby nose, as normal, so that’s evolved over the years to a happy medium where it still reads as Elsa, but also reads as human with normal face proportions.

As to why I’ve shipped helsa all these years? Hans and Elsa are two sides of the same coin to me, the main difference being that one of them succumbed to their worst intentions and desires, while the other freed themselves and learned to embrace love and peace in their life. Both were isolated during their childhoods, resulting in years of loneliness, misery, and bitterness; both try to appear poised and reserved, hiding their inner self-loathing; both are intelligent and cunning, both have a definite aggressive streak, and both have interesting chemistry in their very few scenes together. Hans seems to be the only one on equal footing with Elsa who can get through to her throughout the film, mainly for his own ambition, of course, but it intrigued me to see even all these years later how compelling their interactions are.

Why would he sympathetically plead, “don’t be the monster they fear you are,” and stop her from killing those two guards? If he was planning on killing her, why would he go to her and ask if she could stop the winter? Why does he look shocked, almost sad when she tells him that she can’t, like he’s regretting having to kill her? It’s moments like these that paint these characters with more nuance than meets the eye.

I’ve always thought after the first movie, there was definitely potential for a more nuanced and interesting story if Hans were to return. Not simply for revenge, but rather an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” situation, where Frohana would have to work with Hans somehow to fend off an invading force or adversary, like the Southern Isles, to stick it to his family. He and Elsa would be adversarial, for sure, but through forced cooperation, they could open up and become more vulnerable with one another. The amount of angst and turmoil over their feelings for one another would be doubly engrossing. The drama would be incredible.

Now listen: I don’t really expect any of that to happen. I got off the Helsa or die party bus years ago and I’m just mainly enjoying it as it’s own non-canon concept. Believe me, I would love it if it did happen, god willing and the creek don’t rise. But really, when you get down to it, these are movies marketed at little girls, and I don’t think it would really go that far. It’s not easy to come back from holding a sword over a girl’s head, as quoted by Santino Fontana himself.

I grew up with this fandom, I started all the way back in middle school 10 years ago, and this has been a definite learning experience for me in separating the extrapolated world of fan-fiction and the reality of a pg animated musical. I’ve grown up and my expectations are different, and now I understand that canon doesn’t mean shit. I beg, do not take any of this seriously. Just because it has the Disney trademark slapped on it does not mean it’s the end all be all of a story. Stories are fluid things that adapt and evolve in each of the hands they pass through. No one interpretation of a story or a character or a relationship has to be “the right one,” and not every character has to sit on a black and white scale of moral dichotomy, there are always shades of gray.

I’m not saying all of this to be deep about a ship between a Disney princess and a Disney villain that I got into when I was 13, believe I know it’s not that deep. I’m saying this because I’ve lived through fandom and set myself up with false expectations, only to be disappointed. Hell, I took a break from helsa for a solid 3 years because of how burnt out I was. It’s far too easy to dissociate from the text and treat fanon as canon; you’re just setting yourself up to be disappointed. Just let it be its own thing! Like I said, canon does not mean shit! Don’t take things so seriously! Feel free to tell your own stories!

Anyways, I still love this ship, or at least the version I came up with in my head, because I am a storyteller, and I saw potential in these two that could be realized through other means. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s canon or not. Just enjoy it as it is.

Favorite Games of 2023 Part Final: Pokemon Crystal Clear Clown Edition

Pokemon Crystal Clear is a romhack for the Gameboy Color game that mainly advertises itself as Pokemon Crystal modified so now it is entirely playable as a free roaming open world. Clown Edition is just what I called the rom of the game after creating and injecting a pokemon trainer sprite sheet into the game so I can play as my own character, Clown. I played the whole game on my New 3ds XL, it took a quite a bit of effort to get this exact version of the game working on my 3ds. It was incredibly worth it, this is not just my favorite game, but favorite 'game experience', and even easily my new pick for all time favorite pokemon game in the series.

The game itself was fun and a refreshing new way to experience a pokemon game but the overall experience of getting the game working on a hacked 3ds and playing with my own created sprites was in itself a very fun bit of hobby work. It has revived my love for playing older games on real hardware, something that I have found myself continuing to do this year. Also, seeing my own art in the game and said art feel cohesive with the world ruled and I want to experience that more in some other way. This game made me more into pokemon than I have felt with official releases in a pretty long while, and I even liked my time playing Scarlet. I loved playing on a handheld, I loved seeing the really well made art from gen 2, and I loved being able to put a bit of myself into the game as well.

Apologies for how rambley this gets, I really liked the game but still somehow found it hard to really organize my thoughts on why exactly.

I wanted to revisit this hack after briefly trying it in 2018 because of this excellent Hazel video (https://youtu.be/96YimpRHQHs). The video details various life stories while talking about favorite locations in the games getting me to think about my own favorite spots in the games and where I was personally at the time. The video also got me to start realizing that Porygon might be one of my favorite pokemon in the series and caused me to make drawings of them that I'm still quite fond of. This then made me recall Crystal Clear which contains a feature of surprisingly deep character customization including a wide selection of possible starter picks one of which being Porygon. So, compelled by the allure of having a fun adventure with a cyber duck, I picked up my hacked 3ds and started the game again.

Crystal Clear is a game that allowed for me to be even more creative about how to approach building my team and creating my own adventure out of playing pokemon. It's not for everyone, it wasn't even for me the first time I tried this game back in 2018. Crystal Clear definitely lends itself much more to the idea of creating your own fun than typical linear pokemon games where if you're not interested in that more free form exploration, the game would feel aimless. I even felt this when starting this playthrough, but the goal of pokedex completion was what encouraged to explore and discover Crystal Clear's world. The game was always surprising me in both the number of quality of life features it provided as well as fun new areas to explore or to better make the world more connected. Over time, the game felt more at home to me from getting more familiar with locations and developing a new sense of fondness for several towns in Johto I frequented. The change from a linear progression to that open ended one gave me a better sense of the world and towns had a bit more life to them as places felt more inviting to hang around in.

I love this game's implementation of the pokedex. It has been designed so it will display just about every piece of information about a pokemon, where to find them, when they evolve, what moves they learn, and so on. While the presentation is definitely clunky due to having to have all of that information on a GBC screen, I found this such an invaluable tool to have in game that for the first time in the entire pokemon series I was heavily making use of the in game pokedex for its intended purpose. Being able to look up relevant information for pokemon all entirely in game without having to have a phone/computer nearby with bulbapedia open all the time is just greatly appreciated. While the desire to keep some mystery around pokemon and how they evolve or what moves they'll learn can be part of the fun with the series, I think I just prefer being able to tell quickly if this is a stone evolution pokemon or not.

This was the first time I ever completed a pokedex in any pokemon game, something I've always wanted to do but never fully committed to the whole process. This is because of my own laziness toward how challenging that always was in proper releases due to so many pokemon being obscured behind multiple games and others being locked behind real world timed events. That or the fact that later games in the series just outright make the the act of getting a truly complete pokedex feel almost impossible. Instead, I finally accomplished a completed pokedex in a romhack that was made to make that sort of challenge feel reasonable with modified drop pools and changed events so everything within that one game is catchable. While now possible, I still found myself challenged with a game world spanning adventure of looking behind every rock, tree, and patch of grass to find every funny little guy I could. One particular memory was me spending maybe a week insisting on finding a dragonite in an encounter to catch which has a 1% chance of happening rather than spending the time leveling and evolving one instead. A very, very long process of hitting a tree over and over but made hilarious when later repeating the process for a tyranitar, another 1% chance encounter rate, was done in minutes. It was really fun having a plan ahead with how I was going to get every pokemon, constantly using expshare and other things to level guys to get them to evolve while try catching other guys. The ultimate reward of that certificate is still a pretty hilariously small, though I still kind of want to figure out a way to print mine out.

What made this game so special to me was simply just adding Clown to it. A simple change that was a surprisingly complicated process of getting a crash course on how GBC color palettes and size limitations worked and getting my hacked 3ds up to date on its software. Creating the various Clown sprite drawings was fun, I always liked working in those sorts of strict limitations. Then finally getting the injection to work and seeing my own art in game on real hardware felt surreal, something in this handheld game console I've had forever, on a game I loved for years has something I made in it. Even the process of getting all of this working, as tedious as it was moving game saves and getting color values just right, made this whole experience more special to me.

Something I figured while playing this as well as also from now having also played Dragon Warrior 1+2 and also currently Final Fantasy 5, I really love playing things on a handheld. Playing games on a handheld device has been so much more compelling of a thing to me than ever than playing on a proper TV/computer. The aspect of being able to just let the console sit on my desk and simply open and close it when interested made the feeling of investing myself into a game so much easier to approach. I want to just keep playing more old games on a handheld now, I'm already planning on other games to play and how I should definitely hack my Vita. My friends keep tempting me with one of those emulator handhelds and I don't even need one but they look really cool though.

I have so much respect for people who make fan works, hacks, and other unofficial projects it has been just amazing to see passion projects happen all the time in the gaming community. Playing this romhack that's been a years long, ongoing project in two different eras (2018 and then again in 2023) of it's existence has only further cemented my admiration. People wanting to be creative and open about their love for this form of art is such a wonderful thing to behold. These moments of creative passion being shared to everyone feels so important, reminding that the projects with the biggest budgets and names are not the end all be all of the medium, despite their desperation to be so. Thank you so much for wanting to share such lovely things with the world.

hi, im new here (not to dd just to the tumblr sphere— why does everyone seem to hate zdarsky/checchetto? i really enjoyed the first part of zdarkys run and i adore checchetto’s art + design, so idk what i missed that makes everyone who comicsposts dislike it so much??

hm. this isn't the easiest question to answer. there's a LOT of different reasons as to why people disliked that run.

tbh I'll admit the first 20 or so issues of v6 are kind of okay. not impossible to read. it goes downhill fast after that, tho. very very downhill.

here's this post by @/xycuro-illuminati that does a good job of explaining why so many people disliked the run. here's my post on the ableism in zdarsky's writing. trust me you aren't the first person who's asked this question before

i'll give you a more general answer of my own opinion, tho

zdarsky's writing misses what most consider to be crucial points of Matt and Elektra's characters. with this, he entirely obliterates their characterization and that really pissed a lot of comics fans off.

i would consider volume 6 to be the beginning of the MCU-ification of dd. it is clear that at that point, some higher-ups were pushing for daredevil comics to become more like the show. the show was a MASSIVE hit and they wanted to cash in on that. so, they had the writers start shifting the comics and the characterization around to fit the show better.

this is where the problem lies. it is insulting, honestly, to ignore the past 50 plus years of writing for matt's character to shift it into something that will be more palatable to live actions fans just so marvel can get a good payday.

the most glaringly noticeable part of this is - the catholicism. the live action show makes a big deal out of matt being catholic when this was never really the case in the comics. while matt being religious and catholic are present in matt's background in the comics, it's not even close to being a big part of the character.

one of the main things that makes matt so compelling as a character is his morality, his integrity. he upholds his moral code relentlessly because he believes it is the right thing to do. he believes everyone deserves a second chance no matter what. in zdarsky's run and in the show, matt's reason for upholding his moral code is tied to his religious beliefs.

here's a good post on the origins of catholicism being related to matt's character and how it differs from the show and why it is such an injustice to tie matt's morality to his religion.

it's really really hard to articulate every single thing that's wrong with zdarsky's run while also giving you a thorough explanation.

i could tell you about how zdarsky's original plot was focused around matt's guilt when he accidentally kills someone but... matt's killed people before. he killed someone in his very first issue. ever. he was chasing after the man who was responsible for his father's murder and scared him so badly the man had a heart attack and died.

all of zdarsky's plots and subplots are all things that have been done over and over, he just writes it worse.

i could tell you about how shitty checchetto's art is. he can't draw women. or fat people (foggy fans deserve reparations). toward the end of the run he gets ESPECIALLY sloppy. he whitewashed kirsten and sam.

i could tell you about how zdarsky wrecked elektra's character. he completely ignored her origins and the character development she's had over the course of decades of writing just to slap some random retconned backstory onto her.

theres so. many. things.

i got into the comics through the show. when I started reading the comics I honestly perceived comics matt and show matt as two entirely different characters because they just felt so incredibly separate from one another. it is not that there are zero similarities, but their reasons for WHY they are the way that they are diverge wildly from each other

i dont know how else to put it except to say this. when I read zdarsky's run, I do not feel like I'm reading about Matt Murdock. it doesn't feel like matt, it doesn't feel like daredevil. it feels like an entirely new character that I do not know.

to fully explain to you why i feel that way would take a damn book. i realize that my answer isn't at all comprehensive and some parts are probably confusing but it is impossible to pick a start and end point. that's just not matt. that's it.

Peoples on the ole timeline were talking about Redline so I ended up rewatching it and then instantly felt compelled to draw Glorious Hair®.

I didn't have a proper go because it's physically impossible to draw Redline things without trying to go incredibly fast and exploding something in the process so this is the best I could do while zipping around my office at high speed.

there is a specific art piece of your’s that seems to have vanished off the internets: “Dark Lord Gerakobitz - Bad End AU”. and I know it disappeared recently because I have a cross-post from your DeviantArt from November 2023

https://www. tumblr.com/loveandmad/ 733130379991629824/dark-lord-gerakobitz-bad-end-au- by-ruckis-rookie (remove the spaces) that now goes to a 404 page

Yeahhh about that. A lot of old art of mine of Fawful and the other M&L lineup has up and vanished. Twould be on purpose.

Y'see, after some very personal events I tried distancing myself from the M&L fandom. The game series remains very sentimental to me, but paired with the personal reasons and the poor treatment Nintendo was giving their fans, I took a long (possibly few) year hiatus. One of several reasons for my hiatus was guilt that I had strayed so far from the source material that the cast of characters didn't seem like the og cast of characters, rather OCs made to fit the mold of them. So by the time I came back I had revamped all the designs I had for the M&L lineup were revamped to be featured as an antagonistic group for my nonfandom oc story called "Order of the Stars" that I'm working on.

The one inspired by my old Fawful design, now named "Geragera", is VERY special to me. He was the one I projected onto the most in the past and he was the one I worked the hardest to distance from the source material without changing him so much that what I had built was no longer there. He's basically a second Fursona to me now. Words can't describe what he means to me.

But despite the many reminders that I gave to old fans that I would be moving on and if I were to ever return to M&L I'd be referencing the source material closer, people still kept missing the memo. Even years later some get confused and it really made me realize how much of an influence I had on shaping the fanon Fawful that's remembered today. It was... incredibly disheartening and upsetting given how hard I worked to make Gera his own character. And furthermore it didn't make sense to me HOW comparisons were still being drawn. I had disappeared for a while to let the fire and the hype die down, in what world to people think THIS

Looks like THIS

If anything at this point Gera takes more inspiration from Yoshi in appearance, I'm shocked more comparisons haven't been drawn to the dinosaur because then I might actually be flattered

But given the circumstances I'd been silently deleting a lot of my old works and archiving them on a personal thumbdrive. It initially started with things I'd see pop up in my notifications that people liked. If I deemed a picture too close to my old fanon Fawful I'd save and delete it. But eventually it got so upsetting to me that in an anger fueled moment I went on an art purge to try and erase the impact I left, or at least scrub what I could to let Gera have a proper limelight instead of being stuck in the shadow of the thing that inspired him. People were also confusing Order of the Stars for an AU, which it's very much not.

While normally I wouldn't have minded the exposure, in fact I would have been flattered had it been years prior (even though the same pic was very much up on Tumblr at some point), that picture was a sore reminder of the past I was so desperate to distance myself. One of many, and reminded me I had to scrub more than just Tumblr... and might have possibly been the catalyst to the purge? I dunno, I slept since then.

The closest you'll get to it now is a horror themed bad end AU that I made that follows a very similar concept

And this is very generous considering the hell I've gone through. It got so bad that I haven't felt very compelled to draw Fawful anymore for fear of further confusion, heck, more recently I decided that I was just going to exclusively post any future M&L art I make over here because I got tired of people finding reasons to draw comparisons on other sites too. I even thought about dropping ANY M&L drawings related to Beanish just to get away from it, but decided against it. I've even started putting more emphasis on Gera's snout just to make him seem less Beanish, which sucks because I've had to stray away from what makes my style mine to begin with. I could easily change his colors, but I can't bring myself to. He's been like this for years now and it's a characteristic that I can't easily let go of, nor do I want to. I've very begrudgingly changed my Beanish HC so that they don't have blue tongues and blood anymore (which was initially nspired by a beta Cackletta sprite having a blue tongue). It feels like I'm having to strip any and all hc personality I gave to certain fandom characters just to create more distance, which sucks.

It gets hurtful after a while, especially considering Geragera has more than just one inspiration... but yeah, a lot of my old stuff got purged and personally archived for my own growth. Truly sorry about that, and for the being a lengthy explanation. Truth be told I also needed a reason to get this off of my chest but I was never prompted until now. For future reference though (and this goes for just about anyone) I would greatly appreciate if you asked permission before making a crosspost sharing my work. There's a good chance I probably would have said no on that one. Anything that remains on this site is either too sentimental to get rid of or still close enough to the source material to stick around.

#mail found under the secret rock #ruckis borks #even now I'm debating whether or not to add key tags I'm afraid people wont take this well #but I might have to #mario and luigi rpg #fawful #order of the stars #geragera guffaw #just to get the word out their and prevent future confusion #*there
