#scopophobia for paranoid maybe

[voiceofthebroken]

impulsively made designs for the voices! they're kind of more like concepts so they're likely to change if I get better ideas for them. I didn't want to make them too complex and give them pinterest outfits lol (I might do that another time though). notes for each voice under the cut!

Hero: I was kind of inspired when a friend said they'd picture that Hero would have similar armor to Artorias from Dark Souls, partially the reason I started drawing the voices

Contrarian: the first thought was to make him a jester, but I thought that's what people would usually imagine him as. so I gave him something more modern to stand apart from the rest of the voices where they're all medieval-ish. also the only voice with a completely round head and the only one without a lower eyelid. he looks silly too so bonus points for that. Contrarian can open his other eye, the diamond on his face is like a tattoo of sorts lol. The X on his chest is a reference to the Razor when he skewers himself (or ourself but same difference)

Stubborn: the first one I actually tried to design. I had the idea of giving a sharper, more prominent chin to the voices who seem more likely to resort to violence. the only idea I had for him was his arms so I had to google and this is the best I could come up with

Hunted: my first roadblock. I was clueless and even considered leaving him as just the base form, but a friend suggested giving him a bandana on his neck, so I did that. a little later I decided to make him fluffy instead of giving him clothes and it took a bit to figure out how to do that

Cold: I found an outfit while I was looking for ideas for Stubborn and I thought it was perfect for Cold. my original idea was just a scarf, but I really liked what I found. don't mind the bad posing by the way lmao, I had an idea for a separate art piece but executed that very poorly so now it's part of the design drawings

Smitten: I got some inspiration from Reverse 1999 for this one actually, but the idea was a little too similar to Hero so I mixed that in with something a bard might wear and gave him a funny feathery hat

Paranoid: I drew him before this post and nothing changed from there. the eye on his hood is one sided and there's nothing else underneath. I don't know how to fit all the details in a pose that would make sense so I'll make another post later lol

Broken: in the Tower route pledging yourself kind of was like becoming a priest for her or something so I gave him the first thing I saw on pinterest when I was looking for priest like clothes. there's a shard of glass connecting the cloak together. he also has stab wounds on his torso from the Tower route

Skeptic: so the last three I struggled to think of designs for so much. he has a scar on his neck from just before the Drowned Grey route where giving him the knife would get him to slit the player's throat. the outfit was inspired by something I found on pinterest and thought the chain going across could somewhat be like the chain going around the player's neck

Cheated: this took the longest to figure out and I gave up on thinking of something. I just gave him whatever outfit I could find on pinterest I thought that would fit him lmao. the only thing I managed to think of was putting bandages around his wrist. he has a scar under the bandages from the Razor

Opportunist: I don't know what I was thinking when I designed him or his clothes. I think he just kind of gave me merchant vibes so I tried going for that and gave him a silly hat. he's definitely not hiding a blade behind his back. the coin was just an extra thing I thought of adding. I ran out of paper space on the page and didn't want to put Opportunist on a different page all by himself so he's the only one without a full body drawing, but it wouldn't make much of a difference if it was a full body

#slay the princess #voice of the hero #voice of the contrarian #voice of the stubborn #voice of the hunted #voice of the smitten #voice of the cold #voice of the paranoid #voice of the broken #voice of the skeptic #voice of the cheated #voice of the opportunist #this took way too long #it's 5am I need to sleep now lmao #scopophobia for paranoid maybe #ignore the lighting #and the fact I drew hero with longer arms than intended

part one ! part three

☆ My sandwich lover crush (part two) ☆

☆ I appreciate criticism, ideas, and your opinions. ☆

Trigger Warning: scopophobia, paranoia.

🪼 you watched a little bit of a movie that was passing on a random channel. It was about a little girl finding out there's a portal under her bed that lands on a magical world where she makes a lot of friends and goes on adventures together.

🪼 it was pretty wholesome, but it was starting to get late and there were only a few sandwiches left, so you decided to write down the name of the movie on a piece of paper to watch later. You stretched, grabbed your blanket, and went to the kitchen to put away your bowl.

🪼 after putting away your bowl, you sit on the counter for some good three minutes to calm down your stomach. At any moment, you could just throw up all your delicious sandwiches, and you didn't want that.

🪼 your stomach calmed down. If you went right now to brush your teeth and go to bed, it would be perfect, so you go towards the bathroom.

🪼 When you're about to open the bathroom door, you feel like maybe one last sandwich before brushing your teeth would be perfectly alright. You've already eaten at least eleven sandwiches this night, and another one wouldn't hurt, so you go running to the kitchen just to grab a sandwich.

🪼 you ate your wonderful sandwich with only three bites. You would've eaten it with one bite, but choking on a sandwich was the last thing you wanted.

🪼 how weird, it wasn't that cold when you were here earlier. it could be a ghost. You would've giggled, but the soft, heavy breathing right behind you didn't really let you do that.

🪼 you instinctively turn around, punching the air. there was nothing behind you. It was just your imagination.

🪼 you decide to turn the lights on, but even with the lights on, you still feel unsafe, you look around, it's good, you're good, there's only you here, only you. Your throat is quite dry from your little paranoid event, so you decide to grab some water.

🪼 it's scary, the feeling of someone watching at you, like you're a prey. If this continues, you're not gonna be able to sleep at all.

🪼 You drink the water and start running towards the bathroom, you're too scared to go walking, when you enter the bathroom, you close the door, and you brush your teeth, now you can finally go to bed and get over with this.

🪼 you open the door, and when you are about to get out of the bathroom, you close the door immediately. You heard something. It sounded just like steps. you really need something to comfort yourself.

🪼 It's better to believe that it was just your pet being a little rascal. If it was an intruder, the alarm on your phone would've already notified you.

🪼 you should stop being silly and just go to bed because all this scary stuff is already getting on your nerves, but not before grabbing your last sandwich to comfort you to sleep, of course.

🪼 You take a deep breath and step out of the bathroom. you're now facing the darkness. Suddenly, you're reminded of the curious existence of shadow people. after everything that happened this night, believing in those little guys had at least some way of comfort because from what you remember, they dislike affection and are sensitive towards yelling at them.

🪼 you decide that throwing a pick-up line and blowing a kiss was a good plan. If it didn't work, you could just yell at it and run to your room.

🪼 You were thinking about a pick-up line to use, so while you did that, you went back to the kitchen to grab your last sandwich.

🪼 you're trying your best, but it's hard not to shake while you're convinced there must be something in the dark. you clear your throat and say, " You're not a sandwich, but i bet you're just as delicious." That was a horrible pick-up line, but it's all you could think at the moment. You grab your sandwich and look behind you, staring at the darkness. You blow a kiss.

🪼 the staring feeling got heavier, it felt more intense, you swear you saw something move, you took a bite out of your sandwich and calmly walked toward the dark.

🪼 when you stepped on the darkness, you started running. forget plan b, there's no way you're staying here any more minutes after that.

🪼 "You're never catching me alive dumbass!" You say screaming and running as fast as you can.

🪼 you can not only feel but you can also hear it running towards you.

🪼 While running in the dark, you forgot about a simple detail, the new plushie you had gotten. It was a cute, big, and soft rainbow caterpillar that you had named chirpy. You slept cuddling chirpy on the floor this morning.

🪼 when you realized that you tripped on chirpy, you were already falling on the ground.

🪼 you fell to your side, protecting your sandwich. The impact wasn't that strong but still hurt. When you started to get up, it was too late. you felt a hand on your shoulder. and then you blacked out, still holding your dear perfect bitten sandwich.

snowsancuary evidence collection

some of these may not be as significant as the rest but whatever

warning for mild horror, mentions/implications of stalking, and scopophobia

header: link (can get a copy by replacing edit with copy)

header with brightness, saturation, and contrast turned up, doesn't seem like anything's hidden but maybe i did it wrong idk

actual doc has a prose in playfair display font that i will call the mesite poem, it has generally proper punctation with the exception of a few misspellings which im guessing are not intentional (unless they are?), strangely placed commas which im not sure are intentional or not (i dont read poems idk how they work lol), and a few strangely capitalized letters: R U E T H E D A Y M E S I T E (RUE THE DAY MESITE)

it references a few things from the castle arc such as a snow abode which is later referred to as a cage (zam's base, his safe space later turning into a hostile one), the bird singing to those it should not (zam talking and teaming with ppl dualityduo dont approve of or even actively hostile towards), the bird going out to eat bugs and worms then hiding in the dark (the eating is possibly(?) a reference to zam only ever killing ppl when he needs to/when he thinks theyre evil and then hiding away in his base for the rest of the time), the dog lifting the bird with its two bruised hands to its heart (could be a reference to ro and mapicc and team awesome but maybe im reaching), a feeling of freedom and confidence due to being flightless and therefore disadvantaged and having nothing to lose (zam losing like 14 hearts or something), the bird that starts fearing the dog that stalks outside its cage (mapicc literally stalking zam in mc and zam slowly getting increasingly paranoid each time)

it also specifically mentions the 30th (i didnt watch the streams and havent caught up with the vods yet so idk if thats referencing anything) amd a red house on the street

mesite according to wikipedia (made the interesting parts bold):

"The mesites (Mesitornithidae) are a family of birds that are part of a clade (Columbimorphae) that include Columbiformes and Pterocliformes. They are smallish flightless or near flightless birds endemic to Madagascar. They are the only family with more than two species in which every species is threatened (all three are listed as vulnerable).

"The mesites are forest and scrubland birds that feed on insects and seeds; brown and white-breasted mesites forage on the ground, gleaning insects from underneath leaves as well as low vegetation. The subdesert mesite uses its long bill to probe in the soil. Other birds, such as drongos and flycatchers, will follow mesites to catch any insects they flush out or miss. Mesites are vocal birds, with calls similar to a passerine song, used for territorial defence. Two or three white eggs are laid in a stick-built nest located in a bush or on a low branch. The Mesitornis species are monogamous while Monias benschi is polygamous and, unlike the other two, shows significant sexual dichromatism.

"Historically, mesites’ phylogenetic relationships were not very clear; they have been allied with the Gruiformes, Turniciformes and Columbiformes. Recent phylogenomic studies support Pterocliformes (sandgrouse) as the sister group of mesites while some more recent studies place this clade with another clade constituted of Columbiformes and Cuculiformes (cuckoos)."

mesite according to rankred.com:

"Brown Mesite is a flightless bird species found only in Madagascar’s humid evergreen forests. The Brown Mesite is classified as a vulnerable species. Due to its preference to remain in low altitude regions of the forest, where dogs and other common predators are widespread, they are an easy target to prey upon. Loss of habitat is also a major factor for their declining population."

[01001111 01100011 01110100 01101111 01100010 01100101 01110010] translates to [october]

log 24: weird smiley

the fact that this is the first log implies that the first 23 logs were writtenon the walls which i would honestly like to see

log 25: morse code

[- …. . .-. . … / … --- -- . - …. .. -. --. / -- .. … … .. -. --.] translates to [theres something missing]

the tag before it says [i cant put my finger on it.], idk if tag order was intentional or not, probs doesnt matter either way lol

log 27: cheating scandal

idk just thought it was something to take note of for later

log 28: crown

the only log so far with the crown symbol

could just be because of the competition

log 29: only one with 1 dot at the title rather than 2

milk post: red, first evidence of stalking

log 31: binary code

leads to this link which leads to this picture (poated for those who cant access it):

original vs edited

no idea what the text behind says, interesting that this is specifically on the log that mentions getting robbed and "him"

to watch post: purple, idk theres just something weird about it

the fact its not a log and the fact that zam seems irritated in the drawing means theres a non-zero cahmce he didnt write it

#snowsancuary #did this instead of my homework lol #i wonder if something will happen on october 30th lol #interesting that the poem is specifically in playfair display

[lemonhemlock]

So then, maybe a weird ask, how would you write or explore Lucemond?

So, a couple of months ago, I accidentally stumbled upon this lucemond fic that completely rearranged my chakras. Thing is I tried to find it recently but couldn't, so perhaps the author deleted it, which is such a pity because it was truly spectacular. I don't remember a whole lot bc it was late at night when I read it (thinking I would come back to it later), but it was very much surreal poetry body horror. I am not a gore girly at all, but the language was mesmerising. I happen to have sent my bf a few snippets for shock value (also not a gore enjoyer), so I can share the little of it I saved:

The tender jelly of Lucerys’ eye bursts like a ripe grape between teeth, climbing, sheer white, up Aemond’s blade, as if it were dripping wax.

Its viscous liquidity leaving no gruesome trophy or good-luck charm to pickle in vinegar and make a gift of, Aemond decides to lick the mucoid fluid from the metal and impel it through his own flesh. When he puts the blade to his tongue no taste but that of his own blood stains the quivering muscle.

If the author of this fic happens upon this post, I'd just want to let you know your talent with words was very appreciated. 🙏

Returning to the topic, I would definitely keep this element and lean into the horror aspect. I'd keep some background jace/luke as vibes, with aegond on the opposing side to make it as spicy and convoluted as possible. (It took me ages to remember I have a jaceluke tag since I hid it so well from team black I ended up hiding it from myself, too. Updated my tags list with this occasion lest we forget!)

Readers of my blog will know by now that I sometimes go on rants about The Magnus Archives, but, bear with me, I think we could borrow some elements to make lucemond really extra fucky. So, within the TMA universe, there are several entities that govern different sets of fears and the one I like the most and the one I think fits really well here is The Beholding - so lots of eye imagery, the fear of being perceived, of secrets being revealed, of forbidden/awful knowledge, of knowledge that would destroy you, of being exposed or shamed or judged. The problem I have with Luke (which permeates a lot into lucemond fics) is that he's so fucking boring and milquetoast & doesn't really react / isn't affected enough by the events surrounding him, so much so that it kind of turns him borderline sociopathic, just in the most boring way possible. So let's give him some internal conflict!

I would give Luke a serious case of scopophobia, basically turn him into the perfect victim for the Beholding. Make him realise deep down that he's a bastard and how much danger he's in because of his mother's lies and gaslighting. Make him terrified of becoming Lord of Driftmark, like actively paranoid some Velaryon cousin is going to slash his throat in his sleep or something (maybe even Rhaena??) Have that intensify after Vaemond's execution, because now the blacks have already spilled first blood in his name. Have him feel increasingly isolated from his family because they feel like he's exaggerating and don't really grasp the gravity of the situation - in addition to more gentle gaslighting done by Rhaenyra, who thinks this is the proper way to assuage his fears (even ridiculous stuff like how he shares blood with Borros Baratheon via Rhaenys), and more violent type of suppression by Jace, who absolutely does not want to hear about how they're bastards and everybody knows about it. So the fear of being perceived, of his "secrets" being revealed, only worse, because they're already out in the open, so what he really fears is shame and judgment, which could come at any minute. Any person could at any time start pointing out what an obvious bastard he is and the entire foundation of his life would start cracking.

This intense fear of judgment would be where lucemond comes into play. Aemond as a person he actively harmed, an act that he did his best to sweep under the rug, absolutely horrified to face him, because that would mean facing his actual crimes; the punishment/retribution for that would have to be immense and he's not in a proper headspace to handle that. When he finally sees Aemond again, fighting fit and ready to go, all those feelings of inadequacy would come crashing down. Aemond casting his single eye of furious judgment on Luke, painfully aware of each and every one of Luke's flaws and planning his wrathful comeuppance!

In TMA, I really enjoyed the statements where The Eye would terrorize their victim* because I personally found it hilarious, so I think I'd try to recreate that dynamic a bit between Aemond and Luke. Whether it veers into body horror and violence or remains at the promise of violence and psychological torment, I think there's a lot to explore in a funky, novel way that doesn't involve this unearned Romeo and Juliet binomial.

If you're really intent on turning this sexual, I think an under-discussed aspect of the eye-gouging is how Luke essentially gave Aemond a huge disadvantage when it comes to participating in traditional masculinity, something that we know Aemond cares a lot about - being a model Targaryen prince, having the depth perception necessary to ride his dragon, his martial prowess, even him being suitably attractive to the opposite sex. It wouldn't be outrageous to presume all of these new issues halted Aemond's sexual and social development and that it would make him feel Some Kind of Vengeful Way about it that would maybe manifest itself not in a very socially-appropriate way. Like, mayhaps, wanting Luke to undergo similar pains? ☠

For Aemond's side, I stumbled on this tik tok once that really encapsulates the kind of vibes I think would be really fun to play with. A corruption arc, being consumed by vengeance, allowing yourself to give into your worst impulses, contemplating the nature of justice etc.

For the aegond bit mentioned above, I really like this idea. Luke pondering which is worse: facing Aemond directly or being decimated by his big brother, who he himself once looked up to.

___________________________________________________________

*Here is an example if anyone is interested in the vibe I'm going for. I bookmarked the clip for when the statement begins, because the rest of the episode is filled with the metaplot: MAG 193 A Stern Look,

Some quotes from the transcripts!

He recognises those eyes. He’s seen them all his life, watching him, judging him, cutting through him so no part of him was secret or safe. They peel away the armour, his carefree smile and practiced shrugs. 

His mind races. He can’t tell the truth, obviously. Elias can’t look this man in the face, and tell him that he is what scares him. That his eyes, the curiosity and judgement that pulses out of them, they terrify him in a way he can’t put into words. He feels that prickly panic building in the back of his skull, that worry that spills through: he knows. 

A cough from over the desk breaks his train of thought. His interviewer is staring at him, and all at once he’s back with himself, burning with embarrassment. Those eyes stare, impassive and stern as ever, but… is that a twinkle of satisfaction? As though he has been given him an answer he likes.

He stops. Those eyes. They know. They can see right through all his bullshit, right to the core of him. They know what he really thinks.

#ask #anon #jaceluke tag #based lucemond #greenpilled lucegon #some very disjointed thoughts but there you have it

[thedragonflycluster]

anyway. i guess others have made intros so why not. i don't use my name publicly because who actually cares but i use the 💥 emoji to show i'm posting something. hy/hym pronouns and 23. most of the time i'm pissed off about something and i can be an asshole: mostly to myself or someone else inside our system, so don't get too pissy too fast. people make me paranoid and i don't do all that eye contact bullshit (scopophobia).

i'm not human. not super sure what i am but i describe myself as a demonoid (kind of a demon, but also not, maybe a non-existent third option). i'm probably what a human would call "trans" but i dont give a shit about that either. very blunt and bland as you can tell here but the others say i'm not that bad. i don't know. find out for yourself maybe. 💥

#text post #💥 post #intros are so boring. just act like i don't exist or something this is like pulling teeth for me.

[hxrpooner]

Can I ask for headcanon of the agent's secret phobias? 🤔🤔🙏👀

yeah

- jett: fear of bugs (and arachnids and associated small invertebrates). the only ones she doesn’t mind are butterflies. 

- viper: fear of rodents, specifically mice/rats (this might be because of trauma based in lab experiments she participated in in the past. don’t ask. she doesn’t want to talk about it). maybe also fear of being injured/seeing her own blood. hides her fear with anger/coldness 

- kay/o: doesn’t really experience fear due to being a robot, or so he claims. but maybe he’s afraid of brimstone and/or sova getting killed 

- neon: fear of thunder and lightning (ironically). maybe it makes her feel on-edge with regards to keeping her powers under control, or reminds her of unpleasant things. it could also be that she just doesn’t like the sound 

- breach: claustrophobia

- phoenix: fear of heights and of spiders. hides his fear with blustering. gets nauseous when he’s really scared. 

- omen: fear of needles. haphephobia (fear of being touched)? 

- cypher: i’m not sure if he has scopophobia, but he’s definitely paranoid that he’s being watched. fear of vulnerability; tbh i think cypher’s a very fearful and paranoid person in general, he just hides it under a mask and layers of nonchalance. he gets twitchy and agitated when he feels he’s been backed into a corner. 

- chamber: fear of dogs. maybe based in trauma, maybe not. 

- skye: i think hospitals would make her uneasy. maybe she also harbors some amount of fear about her own capabilities; other characters have mentioned that she has the capacity to unleash great destruction if she chose. perhaps the thought scares her. 

- astra: fear of the open ocean. there are things down there over which she has little power.

- raze: fear of blood, which may be why she utilizes explosives and paint so heavily. maybe fear of the dark? 

- killjoy: fear of death/dead things? fear of thunder or maybe some fear of the dark. idrk

- brimstone: fear of his loved ones/comrades dying 

- reyna: we know that reyna is very hostile towards non-radiants and radianite technology. some of this is probably fear manifesting as aggression. she definitely has trauma relating to radianite tech. 

- sova: fear of crowds, fear of failure  

- yoru: fear of failure as well; fear of being weak or helpless. hides his fear with assholery/macho posturing 

- sage: fear of snakes. gets sweaty hands when she’s afraid.

☆ My sandwich lover crush (part one) ☆

☆ I appreciate criticism, ideas, and your opinions. ☆

Trigger Warning: scopophobia

🪼 Today was a perfect day to sit on your couch, use your favorite blanket, eat sandwiches, and watch with your pet a good old nostalgic show, so that's exactly what you did.

🪼 unfortunately, there wasn't any old nor nostalgic show passing on the TV, or so you thought, you went looking around through the channels again, in hopes of you just being stupidly blind, this time you did find a show.

🪼 'Welcome home' was the name of it. On one side, there was a message saying it would start passing an episode on the countdown of 30 seconds.

🪼 on the other side, however, there was an art showing a colorful, friendly cast. It had a puppet show vibe with the art style. You would be surprised if it wasn't.

🪼 so while you waited for the countdown to finish, you decided to take a bite out of your sandwich.

🪼 damn this is actually one of the best sandwiches you've ever made in all your life! it's perfect in every way, from the shape to the taste. You really gotta remember how to make more sandwiches like this one because you could literally eat only this kind of sandwich for years.

🪼 While tasting your masterpiece of a sandwich, you hear the sound of an opening. You look up to see that the show just started. It's definitely an old show. It has pretty nice and catchy music, so you bop your head while taking another bite out of your sandwich, finally ending the intro. You're met with the title 'Where did Julie go?'

🪼 just like you guessed it, it really was a puppet show. The plot of the episode was that they were holding a picnic, but their friend Julie was missing, so they went looking for her while they heard sounds thinking that it was Julie just to find out it wasn't. it was a pretty simple and cliche concept but still entertaining.

🪼 The best thing about the show so far to you? How these little guys looked so silly, too silly.

🪼 maybe it was because you were in a good mood, but you couldn't help but laugh at everything these little guys did, from turning their head or opening their mouths to talk.

🪼 You were wheezing at this point, especially at the puppet called Wally, who, for some reason, would just stare at the screen randomly with those big funny brown eyes. It cracked you up to the point that you almost choked on your sandwich multiple times. it was impossible for you to look at him without laughing.

🪼 eating all those sandwiches and laughing so much made you thirsty, so you stretched yourself and got up to grab a glass of water. As you went away, you failed to notice the staring on you leaving to the kitchen.

🪼 When you came back, you saw everyone going in different directions to look separately for Julie. Now you were left with only Wally on the screen looking around.

🪼 you start to feel a little uncomfortable, like there was someone in the room with you, staring at you, like a prey, you look around to ease your paranoid mind, taking a bite out of your sandwich, the light is on, your house is locked, and only your pet sleeping and the show can be heard.

🪼 You know you're safe, but it's still spooky so you glare at the nothing, cursing in your mind, you take another bite out of your sandwich and cover yourself more on your blanket to the point that only your face is not covered.

🪼 Your attention is back at the TV, and Wally is back at staring at you. after that sudden paranoid feeling you had, Wally's stare looks a little bit intimidating, but still very funny.

🪼 you take a deep breath and remind yourself that it's just you being a little paranoid. Wally is a silly cute puppet, and you're a sandwich eater. It's fine. Still feeling a little anxious, you take another bite out of your sandwich, waiting for Wally to stop staring, but he doesn't. Instead, Wally comes closer to the screen and asks with a worried tone on his monotone voice, "What's wrong? why aren't you laughing yet?"

🪼 you instantly grab your controller and change the channel. There's no way you're going to watch that show after that. You're an idiot, but not that much of an idiot.

🪼 You grab your sandwiches bowl and hug it, taking a bite out of one of the sandwiches while still hugging the bowl. a good sandwich is exactly what you need to comfort yourself after that.
