#this was stolen from discord but this is also true at the same time

I don't like doing this... and I was really seriously debating on whether or not I should do this ( and I really hope this time it's the last I ever have to) but
Tumblr media
This blog has been running for quite sometime in tumblr, about a month if my memory is right. However, this blog had very.... very weird takes
Tumblr media
Notably anti Brodian one. But then, I checked something in the AITA blog and found.. this
Tumblr media
This blog, whose first post is a submit to the account about shipping regarding Alear and the Fell twins of the Xenologue. And then
Tumblr media
This blog reblogged it. Except they aren't claiming to be a side account as you can clearly tell. Now, I don't like accusing someone, however I find it very strange that scrolling both blog, not only do they have the same way to express themselves and typing quirck but both blog's first post was an entry to that AITA blog.
Tumblr media
Do you see what I mean by "same way of typing" ? Well, that's not all. After searching, I realize that the blog they reblogged "femalealeartruther" used to be active as well
Tumblr media
For people already aware, I already pointed out that this person was the same as chaotic flower and timerra lover, two blog that became infamous for championing the idea that F!Alear is the "true canon one" and on hating M!Alear. Evidence as follow :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really dislike saying that but after checking the blog of aleardivine dragonmonarch, I realized they answered in the same way as THIS blog to ask they receive
Tumblr media
The same way they answered to a blog reblogging them and this time with the femalealeartruther account
Tumblr media
And again. Those blog all have deactivated.
Tumblr media
As I explained I have several reason to believe that not only is femalealeartruther the same person as aleardivinedragonmonarch, but also that they are the same person as timeralover and thus with chaoticflower.
Yes, the same blog who in the right order :
claimmed you were bing racist if you didn't like Timerra's singing
claimmed that Timerra and Fogado aren't popular because people are racist
Hate constantly on Brodia and try to villify it by any means and hate Alcryst in particular
Was being rude towards fanfic authors
Insist on shipping Alcryst with F!Alear even though they hate him
Call anyone who prefer M!Alear over F!Alear sexist
Admitted to have stolen an idea of fanfic for an Alearcryst fic that was shared on Discord and trying to make belive it was their idea first
Have apparently lied on their age multiple times
The thing is that each time they claimmed to be a different person who had nothing to with the person who deleted their account... despite the obvious
Each time they come back with a new obsession and a new way to stir out drama and this time, it's because they dont like the fact that they dislike seeing Alear being shipped with Nel or Rafal and won't block or mute the ship instead they tried to prove that this ship is "problematic" (which imo when you do that it's not a good look for you at all ngl it come across as controlling and mean spirited)
Also, I should say it right away but chaotic flower has apparently displayed such behaviour in other fandom such as genshin and twisted wonderland
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I could be wrong but again I find it very strange that several account that hates Brodia, claim F!Alear is the canon one, hates M!Alear ship Alearcryst, insist that the Fell twins are Alear's sibling because of an headcanon and express themselves in the very same manner and keep intereacting with the AITA blog with it always being their FIRST post and regularly hosting polls to test which of F!Alear or M!Alear people prefer would all be run by completely different people.
Also.. again, searching, I realized that a lot of the reblogs that were taking side of OP were having the exact same type quirk and scrolling through their blog there is none to little content which are limited to intereaction with the AITA blog and rebloging from the same blog as aleardivinedragonmonarch and weird captions such as never mentionning which is their main account and all
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The last one I am SURE I saw the account femalealeartruther at SOME point reply with the exact same arguments.
If somehow they are different person, then this must be one heck of a coincidence
What does Op says ? They are denying it
Tumblr media
However I am clearly not the only one who noticed it
Tumblr media
(so yeah they kept spamming the inbox of the blog with Alear related ask and F!Alear in particular)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(all of this because of ship I just can't-)
Keep in mind that those are just several thing I noticed and I am kinda worried to see that this person keeps comming back with a new identity pretending to be a different person and well, cause drama.
Also, OP if you read this. Again, I must reiterate. You are welcome in this fandom as long as you STOP doing this sheet right here. That's just baffling that each time you make a blog and then deactivate it all to come back with a new obsession. And each time you pretend to be someone else. Why can't you just run a blog without trying to spark the flame of discourse ? The block button exist, the mute button exist. It's up to you to curate your own online experience and if you are indeed a minor as you claimed several time you were yet keep insisting on having this behaviour, then maybe it's a sign that you are not mature enough to be on social media. Especially since you speak as F!Alear as if she was a real person and not just a fictional being. I am sure that if you properly apologized and admitted your mistake instead of having several blog running to pretend to be another person just to prove that you are right people would actually forgive you.
As for other especially Alear, Alcryst and the Fell twins fans, I am advicing you to block this person and avoid any intereaction with them. This isn't an invitation to harass this person, if anything just block them.
Update
Tumblr media
Both account ended up deactivating.
AT THE SAME TIME !!!

Hi tumblr,
I woke up this morning to a new AO3 comment on my most liked Naruto fic, but this comment was unlike any other I ever got before. It will interest fanfic writers around, especially anime fanfic, so allow me to share it:
Hello, Unfortunately, your work may have been stolen by content farms to create YouTube videos here: (link removed by dianamoth) If you have granted permission for this uploader, you can safely ignore this comment. If not, you should report these videos here: DMCA Complaint Form. You should re-confirm the video contents before you file the report. Note that only the original creator for this work can submit a complaint. When filing the complaint, do not select the "Scheduled: Send a 7-day notice" option, or they won't get a copyright strike from you. We recommend that you do not negotiate with the channel before-hand. Remember to include a link to your work in the 'Title' section of the complaint form. Channels like this have stolen many more works from other writers as well, so your efforts in reporting this channel will also help other writers. See full list of stolen works here: Google sheets Your authorship was identified a while ago by an automated detector under Project Copy-Knight, but for anti-spam reasons we could not inform you until we have manually confirmed each case. If you would like us to notify you as soon as possible, please include this text in your profile page to grant us permission. To prevent a build-up of our notification comments on inactive accounts, we will only send you a maximum of 3 messages before you grant us permission. This is message 1 out of 3. This message was sent automatically, but your case was manually confirmed, and replies to this comment are monitored. If you need additional guidance on how to take the video down, just reply to this comment. To learn more about what we do, please read this article or join our Discord server. From Project Copy-Knight, EsquireBot
I did not give consent for my fic to be used on youtube, ofc.
I was skeptical at first (for context, I write OC Naruto fanfics, who the hell would be interested in that on youtube, I thought?), but this is a well-crafted message with all the ways to verify this claim, so verified it I did!
And hello and behold, this is all true! I'm Amazed. This Project Copy-Knight is quite impressive, it seems well organized and everything, so I thought I would share the word about their existence so that people are aware that this is a problem that exists, that someone is working on it, that it's not spam, and how you can participate, etc... I recommend checking the article they mentioned and the Discord server if you have time to help.
Also, for those who might be in the same case as I and want to report a youtube video (because obviously I'm going to, can you believe this? Just read further to see what a mess it is), let it be known that the link above only works if you have a channel. If not, you have to send your complaint to [email protected]
Tumblr media
Now, if you're interested in seeing what a MessTM this is, continue reading about this video that stole my work.
Guys, this is the presentation of the video:
Tumblr media
The title (and the pictures) has absolutely NO link whatsoever to the plot of my fic, to be clear.
The pictures inside of the slideshow are about DragonBall Z! XD
Tumblr media
But yes, it is indeed a generated "podfic" of my OC fic (but only part of it? it cuts in the middle of a scene at around half of the story)!
When you click on the description of the video, there is a link that actually contains a list of links on fanfiction.net. So they actually didn't steal it from AO3 but ff.net. Writers from ff.net, be aware!
The video has 1,4k views and 37 likes in 2 months. What the heck.
Tumblr media
But the comments, guys!
Tumblr media
I find this frankly hilarious. I mean, there is so much confusion here. Obviously the basic Naruto fans that would hate on (female) OCs are expected, but someone listened to it long enough to realize it was not the complete story. Respect to them.
Can you believe that with such a mess this channel has 5,37k subscribers? Please people, have some self-respect.

GET TO KNOW ME MEME ! !
Tumblr media
NAME — pyro, but some of you know me by my name/name PRONOUNS — she/her SEXUALITY — demisexual, which is admittedly why a few of my more popular muses are as well, because it's easy to write, lol SINGLE / TAKEN — taken
Tumblr media
THREE FACTS
— I used to teach preschool — I’m a published author — My ideas were used for a few episodes of a very popular cult phenomenon show that ran for 15 years...
Tumblr media
EXPERIENCE
HOW LONG — Have I been writing? Since 6th grade. My teacher added an extra credit part to our weekly homework packets for me because I was always writing random short stories in class in my free time and she thought it would be fun if we all had a chance to do that. RPing? Since 2006, and it was on a Star Trek forum that no longer exists. It was also fully comprised of OCs only, so it boggled my mind--still does--that when I came to Tumblr that was so frowned upon, because that was all I knew. WHAT PLATFORMS — A couple of forums, one for Start Trek and one that was a world that my sister and I created that took off with our friends and some other people we never met in real life, lol. We also did Twitter RP for a while for FanFic characters, and then I ended up on Tumblr, and very rarely do a I sometimes do Discord RP. BEST EXPERIENCE — I love Tumblr most days, but those forums were hands down the best. We all collaborated on ideas, and we all gushed about each other's OC's, and we genuinely wanted everyone to have a good time. We also got really into editing and manips, which was why when I was involved in said cult phenomenon, I used to make fan videos too by meshing different shows and movies together. I still do that occasionally, but mostly I just work on my own novels, lol. Honestly, probably why Eve has taken off as she has with the group of you that I've surrounded myself with because we all do the same--we collaborate and gush and protect each other.
Tumblr media
MUSE TYPE
FEMALE OR MALE — I heavily lean towards female muses. I don't know why that is, because I do have male muses that I have used in the past, and I love writing male characters, but I have never been able to stick with one that I RPed. Because of that, I absolutely RP females constantly. FLUFF , ANGST OR SMUT — I love them all! Angst is my niche though. I've been known for it in every serious writing group I have ever been in, but I still love fluff and I do love smut if I'm in the mood for it. I try not to turn cute threads into angst too, but I know that I'm guilty of that sometimes, haha. PLOTS OR MEMES — ALL OF THE ABOVE LONG OR SHORT REPLIES — I prefer longer replies, but I understand that those can take a toll, and sometimes, I'm more in the mood for a shorter quippy thread, you know? So, it really depends on the mood, and how my partner is feeling. BEST TIME TO WRITE — When I have the muse to. That's such a response, but, it's just true. I have such limited time because of my work schedule, so I'm mostly on in the mornings or on Sundays, but honestly, you can't force writing to happen. You really gotta go with the flow. ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) — I mean...yes and no? I have muses that I have absolutely nothing in common with, but I also feel like, most of us pick muses that we at least see one trait in common with them? Easier to write what you know? Like I write L.ove Q.uinn, but I wouldn't say I am like her. I have a mothering streak like Eve does, and I can be a bit of an arrogant brat like Y.ennefer, but I don't know that I'd ever compare myself to my muses, lol.
Tumblr media
TAGGED BY STOLEN FROM: the dash and i can't remember from whom TAGGING: @illithidploy, @arcanecast, @shadovan, @miidnighters, @dxnse-macabre, @fereldensheroes, @altrxisme, @luposcainus, @championsofthegate, @alittlebitofmuse, @wolf-eyes-wolf-soul, and you ! !

🚨UPDATE ON THE TOKYO SENPAI FANFIC STEALING SITUATION! PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE TO SPREAD AWARENESS!🚨
DISCLAIMER: I do not believe in bullying. I do believe in exposing thieves and showcasing their true colors. Please DO NOT send any hate towards Tokyo-senpai on Wattpad.
Long story short in case if you don’t wanna read it all: this user posted stolen works, I called them out, they deleted the works, they lie and start acting manipulative, I tell them off, the end.
Uploading this in the parts because Tumblr has a 10 image limit per post rule.
So as many of you have been made aware, the Wattpad user @/Tokyo-senpai posted a series of stolen works including some of my own. Me along with many others have been commenting on their page all day and it seemed as if nothing was getting done since she would ignore and delete comments.
I was able to reach out to her via discord where I immediately called her out. (The RED is her and the BLUE is me. Blocking out our names for privacy reasons)
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Both screenshots are my fic on tumblr and then the same story on her Wattpad.
Tumblr media
She’s shaken up (I guess she thought I was one of her followers when she accepted my request on discord…)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So as I’m messaging her and inquiring why she stole, she proceeds to delete the evidence(first half of many chapters including my own) and says she had already taken it down prior. Little did she realize I had taken the screenshot of the stolen fics early in the morning(I’m currently overseas so the time difference looks off). I also circled the specific ones she took from me.(Theres also one more further down but I didn’t take that screencap.)
Even deleting my work she stole, I still wanted her to delete everyone else’s.
So after questioning why she would do such a thing, her answer? “IT WAS A JOKE! A PRANK!” I guess stealing hard work from people is funny. “ I wanted it to be a prank until I got caught and then I would take it down!” She says.
So she WANTED this all to happen I guess…?

The Sharpest Lives
"The Sharpest Lives are the deadliest to lead."
Hidden deep in the woods of Forest Grove, Oregon sits an unassuming Sequoia tree. Over time, the base of the tree split, creating a large tunnel-like opening. Upon its first discovery in 1692, this phenomenon was claimed to be the work of witches and dubbed the "Gate to Hell". Anyone claiming something different, were promptly hanged from the very same Sequoia tree. Then, as the hysteric few died out, the tree became a relic to the residents of Forest Grove. Thought to be a gift from Mother Nature, the tree was celebrated. However, many who passed through the tree's opening recalled a feeling of overwhelming dread. Now, the tree is that of a small town urban legend. Those who know of its dark past steer clear and those that don't never return from the tree the same. In truth, the unique Sequoia tree was a naturally occurring formation. However, the unspeakable actions of 1692 created exactly what they feared. Born from despair and bloodshed was a true Gate to Hell. And not the first of its kind. It is said that there are currently five Gates in the United States alone. These Gates serve as a one-way portal to Hell, used mostly by Borrower witches wanting to trap a demon. Though, the Gates are also the cause of great fear among the supernatural. As it's told, demons roamed the Earth long before the creation of man-kind. And when man and monster first came to be, demons were intent on wreaking havoc on anyone in their path.
It wasn't until the formation of the first Grand Coven, an assortment of powerful natural born witches, that demons were banished back to hell where they belonged. Even with their combined power, the spell was a feat to accomplish and in the end, it came with a price. One by one, each witch that participated perished under suspicious circumstances. In their place, doorways to hell were created. This, and the Book of the Dead, were the only things they managed to leave behind. Since then, the Book of the Dead remained in the hands of the natural born witches, who vowed to protect the secrets contained in its pages. Because as rumor had it, the grimoire written by the first Grand Coven, contained a spell to reopen the Gates. Be it the truth or myth, the thought of releasing demons back on Earth was laughable among all supernatural beings. From the time demons were banished, supernatural’s had worked hard to live peacefully and in secret, lest they be discovered by hunters. However, while a manageable threat to vampires and werewolves alike, witches have become nearly extinct thanks to their tireless work. But, word amongst the more powerful of Borrower witches, is that demons have come up with a deal.
If they were to be released, demon’s have vowed to rid the world of hunters under orders of Lucifer himself. As word traveled, The Grand Coven vehemently opposed these plans, intent on remaining a permanent and peaceful fixture in the world. However, with an uptick in witch hunts and little help from vampires and werewolves, some covens of witches have decided to distance themselves from the Grand Coven and align with demons instead. This brings us to two weeks ago, when the Grand Coven was attacked and the Book of the Dead was stolen. Immediately upon retrieval, an unknown Coven of Borrower Witches traveled to Forest Grove to complete the spell and open the Gate. After their success, they were paid for their good faith with their lives as demons began to cross over. With the supernatural world up in flames, angels have descended from Heaven in an attempt to save as many human lives as possible.

intro !
Tumblr media
hellouuuu my lovelies! i'm so pumped to be here and plot w/ all of you and get this party goingggg. here's my intro for my chaotic son liam! if you'd like to plot feel free to like this or hmu on the ole discord!
⋙ did you see LIAM O'NEILL at that rager last night? i think they major in ENGLISH as a JUNIOR. from what i hear they’re LOYAL & CREATIVE, but they can be pretty SELF-DESTRUCTIVE too, depending on who you ask. there was a rumor going around last semester that HIS MOM IS IN PRISON, but it seems way too wild to be true- maybe i’ll get to know UCSB’s resident BURNOUT better & find out.
liam o’neill
FC: charlie heaton
Age: 22
Birthday: july 15th
Gender: cismale
Sexuality: questioning
Major: english
personality:
✔ loyal, creative, adaptable
✖ self-destructive, pessimistic, aloof
history:
The O’Neill family is, in short, chaos. They party, work, and love hard. They probably don’t know the definition of moderation, but they also probably couldn’t care less.
Liam is the second oldest, with his older sister Dana in her mid-twenties. He has a sister who’s a year younger, two brothers, Sean and Henry, in high school, and a little sister, Maggie, in elementary school.
The siblings are all there for one another no matter what happens. If even they make a mistake. Hell, especially if they make a mistake.
There were times Liam’s thought he might really go to Juvie or get kicked out of school—all for his family. Luckily, his siblings love him just as much, and have helped him get out of those situations.
His parents, on the other hand…Were absent at best.
His father, Hank, has been in and out of their lives since Liam was seven. He only shows up for one thing: Money. If he cares about his kids or wife, he doesn’t show it. The siblings aren’t even sure in they’re all full siblings, given their parents behavior. But none of them make the distinction. More than once, his father has stolen from the family, making their lives even more difficult. Liam prefers the long stretches of time when he goes without seeing his father at all.
His mother, Laura, tried her best at the beginning, she really did. Liam remembers when she would read him bedtime stories and they’d make pillow forts with Dana. She worked hard at a diner during grave yard shifts and did anything she could to care for her kids. He knows she loved him and his siblings and wanted to be a good mom. But, in the end, she hasn’t done much more for his family than his father.
She cycles through crappy boyfriend after crappy boyfriend, occasionally taking Hank back, and then going through bouts of loneliness where she tells her children they ruined her life. She drinks perhaps too much wine than any one should, but it was the fact that Liam knew she was mostly sober when she tore into him or Dana or his younger siblings that hurt him the most.
He and Dana took it upon themselves to raise their siblings, knowing that if they didn’t, no one would.
From elementary school on, Liam’s grifted and scammed and worked his ass off and sometimes just straight up stolen for his family. He’s willing to do whatever it takes for them, and would sooner risk his future and his entire life than have them risk theirs.
He didn’t want to go to college, but Dana insisted he at least apply, and to his shock, he got enough financial aid and a scholarship to afford UCSB.
That didn’t mean college was easy for him. Especially at first. He didn’t know how to navigate the culture or the money or the other students. He didn’t know how to handle not being the smartest kid in every one of his classes. He tried though, intent on showing his siblings they should strive for the same and proving everyone who doubted him wrong. Eventually, it paid off. Though he still thinks he hates most of the student body. Either believing them to be posers or far too sincere for their own good.
More than once, he’s threatened to drop out of school, but Dana never lets him take it further than that: a threat. They both know that the family needs Liam to do well. To show his family they should yearn and dream for more that what they currently have.
present:
He’s cynical with a dark sense of humor that might piss off the right person—or make them good friends. Maybe even a bit of both, depending on the day.
Still working every angle he can think of, Liam’s out to make money to send home to his family, hoping that they’ll be able to fulfill their dreams and have the lives he knows they want.
Bandmates with Ricky and Dahlia. As the band’s bassist, he thinks of it as something that feels his own, where he actually feels at peace and a part of something that matters.
To make his life easier, he lets the other students view him as nothing more than a burnout. Maybe even a loser. Someone who definitely doesn’t draw much attention, and when he does, it’s never good.
Shortly before Junior year started, his mom was arrested for getting involved in a car dealership scheme with her latest boyfriend. Liam doesn't want anyone to know, but he's all too aware half the school probably already does. He thinks of it as just another thing to keep him going, to keep him pushing people out and hiding his true self from everyone else.
He is never going to admit it, but he’s lost. He doesn’t know who he is without taking care of his family, and doesn’t have the slightest idea of who he is meant to become.
Somewhat inspired by Lip Gallagher don’t @ me lol
connections:
Younger sister: The sister who grew up a year younger than Liam. Open to her being a half-sister as their father was in and out of their lives. Definitely utp for personality, history, etc. but interested to plot things out together.
Tutor student: Someone that he tutors in English or creative writing. He might be prickly, but I figure he would actually care enough to do a good job at this because of that money lol. I would love if this was a bit contentious.
Hook-up: Someone he uses/who uses him maybe?? For sure want to plot this out a bit more specifically. 
Painful ex: Someone who he dated in the past, but they broke up for reasons we can plot out. I imagine Liam would be a really difficult person to date, so there could be a number of avenues we could take this.
Party buds: Liam may know that he needs to focus on school and making money, but he can’t resist having a little fun every now and then. Especially when someone’s got a packed bowl and a six pack. Basically, people he can get into shenanigans with.
Poetry/Writing-Reader: Someone who somehow found out about Liam’s poetry and fiction writing. God knows he would never want to share it with anyone but maybe this person managed to get around that. Maybe they’re the one person he can bounce ideas off with, and doesn’t have to hide how much he cares.

“There are things worth dying for. I learned that a long time ago.”
- An excerpt from the journal of Erik Alstroemeria
Far below the city the catacombs of ancient Rome are largely unexplored, kept secret from the rest of the senate, the infamous Farm supplies the city's bank and vampire population with fresh blood. Established by Romulus in the centuries following the founding of Rome, the farm served as a means to an end. At its inception the senate was met with friction, as the city began to rise up more and more supernaturals flocked to it seeking sanctuary in a world that was fraught with conflict and hostility. Vampires, hungering for the blood of many, were provided safe havens that would later become known as places like In Vein. Undesirables were picked off by the vampire marshals, criminals sentenced to a life in prison were intercepted, and the farm was born. Rumours of its existence have bled into the surface for thousands of years, but until now the blood supply has remained untainted.
A hammer of the Spring court that landed in Daedalus’ hands beat the first mortal soul into a changeling, used to also permanently shape the Otherworld into a maze of unknowable paths - that opened doors between the Otherworld and the mortal realm. A conch of the Summer court that beckoned the spirits of the Otherworld to action, that churned the mortal seas and created disasters with only a whisper. An apple fallen from an Autumn tree, gold in nature that could invoke ire and discord among any that it landed between. A star plucked from the skies of Hyperborea, that kept hope alive in the darkest of times and lit a path through the Otherworld. A pomegranate, one of a kind, fell from the tree planted where the former Queen Yidhra was buried, its seeds holding something sacred: the blood of an elven queen. Daedalus’ hammer, Poseidon’s conch, Eris’ golden apple, Tarasyl’nin’s Star, and Yidhra’s Pomegranate. These sacred relics of the Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Royal Courts have gone missing.
Near the edge of the city a criminal pulled a gun, desperate and hungry, weak and powerless. He was tired of being stepped on, tired of being put down, before he could shoot something lunged from the dark. Shredded flesh and broken bones: this story has repeated itself for the last two weeks across the city. Downtrodden individuals with an appetite for change and a desire for violence find themselves in a hospital bed, their injuries all the same. The hospitals in Rome would have a hard time dealing with the animal attacks but the wounds all seem to heal within a day, the scars don’t fade but the lesions to the skin close in no time. In Rome there are laws that prohibit the expansion of the lycanthropy, but this can be the only explanation.
A crypt outside the city, a church in the heart of Rome, a splash of blood across the coliseum, a marking within the catacombs. Historic and common sites alike have been vandalised as whispers of a satanic cult operating within the city have begun to resonate among the human population. In each district where a marking has been found, a body has turned up missing. There are too many to track at once and the runes fade within a few hours, but the druid, witch, and eladrin marshals that inspect them before they do can feel the intention behind them: A gateway.
ooc info:
The wedding between Elmira Kent and vampire Queen Evelyn Boucher will take place the evening of February 14th, every vampire in the city is required to attend. Thralls, would-be blood bags, and those personally invited by The Betrothed are welcome. 
For the rest of the city, Lupercalia will begin at dawn on February 14th. The decision for who will lead the Tiber will be conducted tournament style with participants ranging from the Tiber, the Arno, and the Deltas of the city. The true celebration will begin on February 15th to celebrate the new Alpha. 
Sacred relics have been stolen from each of the fey courts as well as the royal reliquary. 
The blood coming from the farm has been contaminated, as has the city’s water supply. While undetectable to all, vampires will gradually become thirster and more aggressive than ever before. 
Lycan numbers have been rising across the city, the majority of which being former or current criminals. 
Various sites across the city have been graffitied in blood, the runes disappear after a few hours and become undetectable. 
The Blessed will not be attending the wedding or Lupercalia
Demons and Reapers are unable to attend the wedding.

Oddworld: Code 583 - Chapter 14: What was stolen
“This is simply outrageous!”
A bit of welcome calm. A smell of tobacco. A vision of Sam, alive and unharmed, perhaps even smiling above him. Maybe it was too much to ask for. Lure's consciousness waded painfully through thick layers of mist, while he still couldn't open his eyes. There was an unpleasant atmosphere of discord nearby, led by Gottlieb's thundering angry voice.
“You have no right!”
“As it happens I have, my dear friend. And to be perfectly accurate, it seems to me that you are reversing the roles here. You have committed an offence, you are illegal. And you're in trouble.”
This high pitched tone which gave him a headache. The Vykker. He was there too.
“I bought this female honestly!”
“Oh really? After you claimed that there was no Queen in your factory? Interesting.”
A Queen. To hell with the Queens! To hell with all these stories, let them deal with it! If they wanted a Queen, let them find another one! He didn't need a Queen. He just needed Sam.
“Because I knew that you would try to take her away from me by some trick! That's what you scientific butchers are like! As soon as a creature falls into your hands, you cut it to pieces! With me, she will be much more useful to our society!”
“How touching, you are going to make me weep.”
Sam. Where was Sam?
“It just takes a look at what you are doing right now!”
What was going on right now?
“What I do is necessary. Besides, I would appreciate being able to concentrate! In the meantime, I suggest you go get me the documents.”
“The... the documents?”
“The ones that certify that you have indeed purchased this rare specimen, of course. We can potentially clear up this misunderstanding if we have them in front of us. If not...”
“B-but...”
“Now shut up and get out! This is a delicate operation for Odd's sake!”
Lure's features tightened as the sounds of Gottlieb's small footsteps hurried away, while the Glukkon ferociously belched at a Slig - hopefully it was that 988 scumbag - to go get those damn documents that probably didn't exist. At least not authentic ones. Anyway, the deception would soon be discovered, and Gottlieb would certainly have to pay a certain price, serves him right! As for Sam...
“Sam...”
He wasn't sure he could have uttered a single sound, but he felt his lips move on their own to form her name. He also felt his eyelids flutter and was instantly tempted to close them tightly. There must have been an aggressive white light source not far from him, and its ephemeral power over his pupils was enough to give the Slig an awful headache. Yet he struggled to keep his eyes open, tried to clear his vision as best he could. He saw extremely blurred and instantly understood that his face was uncovered. When he took a deep breath, he was struck by the mixture of chemical, antiseptic and disinfectant smells, but also by a more ferrous scent that was particularly familiar. A scent that no doubt came from the imprecise dark red stain a little further away.
“Urgh...”
Above the red stain, something was moving, a purple thing whose high-pitched voice warned him.
“I said silence!”
Lure grunted and shook his head. As there was no other answer, he deduced that Gottlieb had indeed left, and that he had remained alone with the Vykker. But, while he beat more strongly of the eyelids, he perceived something else. As a feminine cry muffled by a gag.
“Hold her still!” the Vykker commanded.
At his words, several figures clustered further around the doctor, the red stain, and what appeared to be a prone body. Lure stared at the scene for a very long time, perfectly still and unable to breathe.  It wasn't true, right? They couldn't...
“S...Sam?”
For a split second, two round yellow disks turned toward him, the same disks that had greeted him when he'd woken up from his stay in the labs. Her eyes. Her big yellow eyes that were turned towards him at this very moment.
Then the Vykker had to make a movement and the eyes disappeared, tightly closed, while a new muzzled scream filled the space.
“Yeah yeah well okay, hang in there” the doctor's insensitive voice mumbled with boredom. “Almost over.”
In a flash, Lure grasped the whole scene with a clarity that had nothing to do with his poor vision. Sam was lying a few steps away from him, held back on all sides by the troop of interns clustered around her. The smell of blood was coming directly from her stomach on which the Vykker was leaning, and this bastard was operating on her without anaesthetic! The Slig would have jumped to his feet if he could, but he had no pants either and was slammed against a cold surface.
“What are you doing?!”
He could still hear the fragments of her muffled cries.
“Can't you tell?” the irritated Vykker sighed. “I am proceeding to heal the internal damage! Now let me work, Slig!”
“Give her painkillers!”
“What for? I'm almost done. And besides, if you suffer it means you're not dead. Needle!”
“You bastard! I'll kill you, you'll...!”
He took a blow in the temple. The intern who was holding him had just slapped him across the face with a pair of monumental blows. It would probably leave big scratch marks.
“No need to get upset, code 583. I don't know what alienation you have gone through to nourish such unnatural devotion, but you will soon be free of it, don't worry. Still, how strange... perhaps there was a defect in the restriction phase of cerebral development? Highly improbable that said, we are always careful, but the probabilities are never null... or maybe a problem occurred in the conditioning? But then why an isolated case? Unless it is simply...”
The scientist continued to mutter to himself about incomprehensible hypotheses, but Lure wasn't listening to him anymore. He tried to call Sam, to tell her to hang in there and that everything would work out, that they would all pay for it in the end. But every time he opened his mouth, the long, bony fingers of the interns struck him, forcing him to swallow his words.
“Aaaaand done!” the scientist exclaimed triumphantly as he straightened up suddenly. “Now, now, now, stop your whining now, you're out of danger.”
In a complete lack of compassion, he turned away from the soon-to-be Mudokon Queen, muttering about the ingratitude and indignity of patients. Lure, obsessed with Asameera's condition, failed to notice the Vykker approaching him.
“Well!” the high-pitched voice exclaimed nearby, startling the Slig. “Now it's our turn! I hope you didn't hurt him too much, I still need him alive for now.”
The interns, with their vertical mouths sewn shut, could not speak of course, but the plaintive intonation they put into their muffled protests reflected their eagerness to reassure their superior not to suffer any unwanted repercussions. Some stepped aside to give space to the Vykker while others tightened their bony fingers around Lure. The Slig hated this feeling. He glared at the purple spot with his blind eyes.
“Still need me alive for what?”
There was no answer, only a small unpleasant sound that translated a contrite grimace from the Vykker, speaking volumes about his disgust.
“Urgh! I had forgotten how horrible a Slig's face could be!”
“Did you look at yourself, you chewing gum face?”
Although his vision was still blurred, Lure thought he actually saw a devilish grin take shape on the scientist's face. Then immediately afterwards, he felt the sharp claws pressing on a spot on his head, harder and harder. There was no pain, but Lure was suddenly overcome by a nameless terror out of nowhere. He began to scream helplessly, his heart pounding as the panic continued to eat away at him.
“Hmm... it's not like I can check all the areas right away, but it's a good start. The opposite would have been surprising, we don't release errors into the wild after all.”
The fingers left Lure's head and the Slig gasped loudly, still shaking with violent spasms despite the retreating fear.
“W-w-what was that?” he stammered. “What have you done to me?”
“A simple check” the Vykker replied with a shrug but some excitement in his voice. “You see, our conglomerate gives us permission and opportunity to study the brains of every creature in Oddworld, as well as their development. You can't imagine all the things we're able to do through research, it's so exciting!”
Around Lure, several interns exchanged exasperated looks and shook their heads, tired in advance of the presentation their superior was about to launch into, but the Slig paid no attention.
“Research!” the Vykker repeated with emphasis. “The identification of the different brain areas! The restriction of some of these zones! The amplification of others! Just like this one!” he added joyfully while pressing briefly on the same precise point of the tip of his claw, making Lure jump in fright. “The isolation and amplification of the fear center, inducing increased submission! Inhibition of free will! Restriction of the ability to make decisions! Inferiority complex induced at an early age! So many possibilities! And all this thanks to research and these inventions, these technological wonders, these helmets that we put on you from the moment you are born!”
“T-these.. these what?”
“The famous helmets that prevent your correct brain development, of course! Oh but you can't remember of course, how silly of me! Still, what a pity, it's your very first accessory after all, with your leg inhibitors! But not everyone can be as sentimental as me...”
“Wh... Wh... WHAT?!”
The feeling of panic returned, but this time Lure knew exactly why. Preventing brain development? Leg inhibitors? No, that didn't make sense, did it? Sligs were naturally born without legs, weren't they? That was the reason they were provided with prostheses, wasn't it? In order for them be able to... live in this world and contribute... to the smooth running... of the...
“...Magog Cartel...” the Slig finished aloud, unwittingly reciting one of the many phrases engraved in his mind.
Not far, the Vykker emitted a satisfied sound.
“That's good, you've learned your lesson well” he complimented ironically. “So your dysfunction isn't from conditioning either, apparently. Could it simply be a problem of proximity to another specimen?”
Another specimen... Asameera. What had Asameera said recently?
They dried up the lakes.
His heart began to beat faster and faster.
You had no choice.
Asphyxiation seizes him.
Mechanics, robotics, technology...... they made sure you needed it.
All that time. All those years spent wallowing in his dependence on robotics, all those moments celebrating this chance he had to stand on his own two feet, thanks to technology, thanks to the Cartel... Everything he thought he had... Everything he thought he knew...
“Lies...”
He knew the Cartel leaders were not chivalrous, and Sam had opened his eyes wider. But even after all this, he had never questioned his pathetic form and his difficulty in thinking, nor even his terrible headaches when he'd tried to show Sam simple sympathy. Maybe he should have also questioned his near-zero vision, or even his stunted lungs? He thought it was all natural and there was nothing he could do about it. He never imagined that such manipulation was at work, that he and all the other Sligs were twisted, controlled, from the very beginning to the very end of their lives.
“Y-y-you...! Lies!”
Too much! It was too much! Technology had brought them nothing! On the contrary, it had stolen everything from them! His world was collapsing, shattering, reduced to dust by this sudden realization, this terrible truth.
The only person who had always been honest and kind to him, the only person he could still believe in, was Sam.
Lure suddenly pulled on his arms with a roar, managed to get out of the grip under the effect of surprise and his valid fist split the air randomly in front of him. He felt it hit its target as the Vykker recoiled with a cry of pain under the impact that sounded terribly satisfying. The Slig jumped to the cold ground, rolled and crawled as fast as he could towards the future Mudokon Queen.
“Sam! You hear me Sam?!”
His hand grabbed the sheet she was lying on, he saw her big yellow eyes turn towards him and even thought he heard the name she had given him.
“Sam! You have to escape you hear! You have to escape from here!”
He knew she couldn't move, he knew she had never intended to break her promise to Gottlieb. But she had to! Soon she would no longer belong to Gottlieb, soon all hope of escape would be gone!
The bony fingers of the Interns were already on him again.
“Sam! I will set you free Sam! Do you hear me?! Don't listen to their...”
He received a blow to the back of the head, so hard that his bony eyebrow collided with the ground with a thud. A rain of blows fell on him but Lure refused to scream. Then the Vykker's claws grabbed his skull again and he threw his head back as terror howled for him.
“Enough!” the furious scientist shouted. “Let's get it over with!”
The Interns straightened him up in front of the purple color that accentuated the pressure on the terrorized Slig's head.
“I'm done with you! You're going to tell me what I want to know and then I'll dismember you, dissect you, bone you, gut you and feed your foul-smelling remains to the lab Ratz!”
The tips of the claws pierced Lure's skin.
“How did you escape from Site S? Speak up! Obey!”
“G-g-go fuck yersAAAAAAAAH!”
“I can do this for a long time without getting tired, you know? I know the precise points to tickle! But you, how long do you think you can resist? Do us a favor and spit it out!”
Lure would have gladly spat directly in his face if he could. He forced himself not to say anything, not to betray Sam.
“P-p-please! Stop thAAAAAAAH! MOMMY!”
He could allow himself to beg, to give up his dignity and put on his eternal costume of pathetic creature. He could call out to his terrible genitress for help. But twisted or not, controlled or not, he would NOT betray Sam!
“Uh, am I interrupting something?”
The Vykker looked up at the voice without releasing the pressure.
“What?!”
“Uh... Sir, Mr. Gottlieb is waiting for you in his office with the documents!”
There was a moment of silence during which only Lure's whimpers could be heard. Then the scientist grunted and released his grip.
“How lucky you are, you'll be able to think about this for a while. But you know what awaits you! You two, stay here and keep an eye on him! The rest of you, with me! And take her with us!”
Lure didn't even answer, too busy catching his breath. He was barely aware of the departure of the Vykker and most of his entourage, and of the blurred figure of Sam floating past him on a stretcher of some sort. He tried to say her name, to struggle against the only two remaining interns, but the shaking prevented him from doing so.
“My guys will take you to him, sir! As for me, I'll stay here for a bit.”
A Slig. It was a Slig's voice.
“Whatever!”
That was the last time Lure heard the Vykker before he left. Mechanical pants whirring echoed as the other Slig got closer, then there was the crashing sound of a heavy door locking.
“Well, now we can finally talk, you and me!”
The footsteps came closer again and a shadow stood before him. Lure raised his head and winced in a vain attempt to clear his vision. Of course he could not identify the newcomer, but he had a bad feeling, which was confirmed soon enough when he heard the sound of a rifle being cocked. On either side of him, the two interns uttered muffled reproaches.
“Relax guys, I'm not going to kill him.”
The Slig had barely finished sneering when a deafening bang sounded nearby, then another. Lure stood still, eyes wide, trying to figure out where he had been shot and why the pain wasn't coming. He simply felt his arms convulse. In a reflex, he looked in turn at the two interns who loosened their grip on him before collapsing inertly to the ground, each with a bullet in the head.
“What the...”
He didn't have time to dwell on his surprise because the Slig in front of him slammed something directly into his muzzle.
“Hurry up, put this on!” the Slig urged.
Lure complied automatically and finished putting the equipment over his face, quickly realizing that it was a breathing mask. Once the respirator was properly adjusted, he blinked again and stared into the face of his savior, his sight restored. The Slig's face was uncovered, as was his a moment earlier. The mask he was wearing now must be his. A quick glance informed him of the identity of his colleague and he spluttered.
“988?!”
The Slig did not answer. Baffled, Lure stared at him in confusion for endless seconds. The more he watched him, the more he understood that something was definitely wrong. He couldn't say how or why, but it was as if 988 wasn't really there.
“You're done?”
“Uh... Y-yeah?”
It was 988's voice and tone, but Lure didn't recognize his way of speaking either.
“Perfect. Now get his equipment.”
“His equipment?”
988 put the rifle down in front of him and began to remove his mechanical prostheses.
“I mean 'my' equipment. Come on, hurry! We don't have much time.”
As Lure passed 988's pants without feeling the euphoria of having legs again, he watched him from the corner of his eye.
“Who are you really?” he asked.
'988', now crawling on the ground in his natural state, looked up at him with a raised eyebrow arch.
“Sam?” Lure tried in a small voice.
“Er, no. But you've pretty much got the hang of it. We'll do the introductions later if you don't mind. I'm going to need to get in here, so you're going to have to unlock the door and then we gonna have to get the heck out of here. On my signal...”
Lure didn't even have time to retort when 988 almost shouted:
“Now!”
Then, with an unpleasant gurgle, 988's body convulsed as an invisible force threw him backwards, as if he had just been hit very hard, before collapsing unconscious. Lure cringed, unable to look away. What had just happened?
Bam bam bam!
The successive banging against the door startled him. The Slig automatically moved towards it with a tentative step.
“For Odd's sake, hurry up I said!” a voice resounded from the other side.
Lure pushed the lock and the door flew open. A figure entered briskly and closed the door right after.
“What took you so long?”
“I... I don't know...” Lure mumbled without really paying attention to what he was saying himself.
Before him stood a Mudokon. But not an ordinary Mudokon, he was definitely not a slave. He wore a stylized tribal mask, made of different woods, bones and teeth, and was clothed in skins. His bare chest was covered with tattoos and paintings, and a wild aura surrounded him.
“It doesn't matter” the Mudokon retorted. “We must leave at once!”
He clasped his hands together and began to recite an incantation, the same one Sam chanted to meditate or summon bird portals. The Slig's heart began to beat faster as the fluttering of wings filled the room.
“Let's go” the shaman said, pointing to the formed portal of light with an imperious gesture.
Lure took a step toward it before pulling back.
“What about Sam? Asameera?”
The shaman sighed heavily.
“No time. It's not the right moment.”
Lure took several steps back before straightening up and shaking his head.
“Look buddy, I appreciate you saving my ass, but I'm not going through that gate without her. If you're scared, then go ahead, and close the portal if you want. I'm going after her.”
He turned toward the door, but the shaman already stood in front of it, arms crossed over his chest. Lure felt his features contort under his mask and he raised 988's weapon to the Mudokon.
“I don't want to kill you buddy, but you're going to get your ass out of my way and I'm going to get her, now!”
The shaman sighed for the second time, shaking his head.
“No. Not now. You will fail.”
Lure pulled the trigger, not caring about the noise of the detonation. The bullet lodged in the wall behind the Mudokon, who didn't budge an inch.
“Out of my way!” Lure yelled, advancing on him.
The native raised a hand set with ancient rings towards him.
“I didn't want to do that, at least not right away.”
There was a crackle in the air and Lure, instinctively sensing the danger, made a move to dodge. He was not fast enough, however, and he was hit in the head by the electric charge that shot from the shaman's fingers. His body spasmed from the shock that continued to assault him, Lure dropped the gun and fell to his knees. Just before he slipped into unconsciousness once again, the Slig heard the shaman's last words.
“You will go get her, yes. When you wake up. At the right time.”

20 Questions for Fic Writers
No one tagged me for this, but I saw it posted by @walker-lister and wanted to jump on board.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
20
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
94,345
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Doctor Who (so far only the Twelfth Doctor [but caveat under question 14]) and Back to the Future.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Portraits of a Romance (Doctor Who)
Loose Ends and Loose Memories (Back to the Future)
The Post-Game Wrap Up (Back to the Future)
r/ThePinheads: Guys, Marty McFLy really *is* a time traveller!!! (Back to the Future)
Their Song Is Almost Over (Doctor Who)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I always try! I love getting them, so it seems polite if nothing else. But on occasion I don’t have the time and then the notification gets buried in other emails and I forget to.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
“Their Song Is Almost Over” ends with both Clara and the Doctor dying after 20,000+ years together, which is probably the closest I’ve come. I suffer from major depression and so nothing I write has a negative/angsty ending.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Honestly I feel like I could say “Their Song Is Almost Over”! Clara and the Doctor have 20,000+ years together and an afterlife together, to boot. In the same continuity is also “That She May Find Her True Love First,” in which Clara reunites with the (original, non-canon, female) Fifteenth Doctor a few centuries after breaking up with her predecessor.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Once, on a fic I posted on FF.net and not AO3, someone just wrote “FAIL.”
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I’ve only written smut once—"I Need You, Now More Than Ever". To quote the summary, “Escaping a planet after a ‘date’ where everything went horribly wrong, the Doctor and Clara find comfort in each other.” So hurt/comfort with sex. There was a four-year gap between me writing it and posting it.
I might do something smutty for Marty/Jennifer one day, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Not anymore. The stuff I did as a kid was sorta a massive crossover between just about everything I was interested in, but I wrote little that could be called “fics.” Most of it was me and my friends doing what you call LARPing when you’re an adult. The universes involved a shitton of original characters on top of at least Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Star Trek, Animorphs, Men in Black, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids: The Series (when I could sneak it in).
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I know of.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not really, though I’ve taken part in a Discord server game that involves writing a fic one line at a time. (Results here.)
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
The only ship I’ve ever actively shipped shipped is Whouffaldi, AKA Twelfth Doctor/Clara Oswald. All my DW fics involve them, though bits involve either Thirteen with Clara or later, original Doctors with Clara.
I have a soft spot for Marty/Jennifer in BTTF as well. That’s mainly the reason I’ve never been able to get through the “Marty gets permanently stranded in time” fics out there.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Oh dear god. First, none of them are posted—I strongly believe in posting only finished works. But in all probability I’d say I’m never gonna finish the Mire AU, a Whouffaldi AU that I wrote about 22,500 words for. It was supposed to be a preemptive fix-it for “Face the Raven,” but I later decided that I wanted my Whouffaldi fics to have Clara become a Time Lady instead of using the Mire kit.
Two BTTF ones—Meet the Family and Psychology 135—have been on the drafting board about ten years but are much, much more likely to be finished.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Shit, this is hard! I’ve been told though that I’m good at characterization, and also that I weave in just enough background detail to make it all seem real. So I’m going with that.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I spend far too much time on pointless background detail that I can’t fit into the story, I have difficulty finishing anything (especially of great length), and I think my descriptions can be too bland.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
In one of my BTTF fics just a few days ago, I decided that something Doc said was actually from his German grandfather, so I went to our Discord server and asked two German users for a translation. If there weren’t German speakers on our server, I might have used Google Translate and then double-checked with Wiktionary, but in all probability I’d have not done it at all.
BTW, it’s “Ein gesundes Maß an Neugierde ist immer etwas Gutes.”
19. First fandom you wrote for?
This is a complicated question, as you could say I wrote “fanfics” before I was aware of fanfiction or fandom as concepts (see question 10). In high school, c. 2005, I finished a Transformers: Beast Wars fic but never posted it, but I still think that’s the first.
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
I might also have to say “Their Song Is Almost Over”! To quote another one of these asks I did, “ wrote it in a single sitting, it’s epic in scope, [and] it gives a ship that got an at-best bittersweet ending in canon a gloriously happy ending.”
For BTTF, I’m not sure really. Perhaps “Moving Day”? Because I accomplished so much in such a brief space (compared to my previous BTTF fics), and I loved focusing on Jennifer.

NSFW fic followup of the Raihan rubbing one out fic where he suffers through the one he's got it bad for taking care of him while he's sick while trying not to get a boner/confess because his inhibitions and filter are weaker. Carrying him effortlessly when asked. Feeding him. Helping him take his medicine. Is it the fever or the lovesickness making him a mess? Who knows.
-Not gonna lie, totally forget ever writing that fic. It's been so long but I kinda just went with the main idea of him being sick. Doesn't get to NSFW since he is sick, but teasing flirting and whatnot warrants the NSFW tag-
Discord (16+) - Request Information
Warning: This is NSFW so if you’re under the legal age or uncomfortable with content like this, please skip over this one!
NSFW Raihan: Inhibition
Raihan could think of few things that could be worse. At the same time he was also counting his lucky stars that he got to spend time with you.
Apparently training out for hours in the rain wasn't exactly the best idea if you don't want to become sick. So here he laid, in bed at his suddenly too cramped apartment as you rushed around trying to take care of him.
For the first few hours he was in and out of it, the fever making him a bit delirious. Thankfully with some rest and medication he was coherent and knew what was going on. He damn near had a heart attack at seeing you in his house though, running around taking care of him. He didn't even remember calling you over, let alone letting you into his apartment.
Now he had an entirely different problems on his hands. Every time you went over to help him drink some water, replace the towel on his forehead, hell even just slightly grazing him, he had to hold back from doing something stupid. You never did comment about the flush on his cheeks, assuming it was the fever speaking, but his other serious problem wouldn't have been that easily concealed.
He kept shifting the comforter on the bed despite feeling far too hot for it. He absolutely refused to let you take it off his lap as he insisted he needed to be warm to break the fever. While it was only half true, the other reason was the blanket was the only thing helping him hide his raging erection.
The amount of times he had managed to get off to the thought of you was immeasurable. It was an every other day occurrence. Now here you were, in his territory, taking care of him. He felt like his head was spinning from more than a fever.
"Raihan, you okay?" You asked as you walked over to the bedside. He felt the dip of the mattress as you gently rested on it. You leaned over him, feeling his forehead with your own. You frowned at how hot he still was and he fought the urge to follow your face, or more your mouth. You were so close that if he just leaned up a bit he could've stolen a kiss.
"U-uh ya. Just tired." He half-lied to you as he took his gaze away from your body.
"Then rest, silly. You need the energy if you're going to get better." You said as you started to get up. You felt his warm hand around your wrist, keeping you in place.
Raihan just stared at you, blinking a bit as he wondered why exactly he had grabbed you.
"Yes?" You asked with a raised eyebrow.
Raihan bit his lower lip as he tried to think, "C-can you just stay here?" He wanted to kick himself for how lame he just sounded. He wanted to curl into a hole and die right now.
"Sure, can do. Mind if I refill your water though?" You asked, noticing how low it had gotten. He reluctantly let go of your wrist as you walked off, only to return a few moments later with a full glass. You sat back down on the bed, pulling out your phone.
"Uh..." Raihan began, getting your attention. You locked the phone as you turned towards him, "You're just going to be sitting there?" He asked and again mentally kicked himself.
"Did you expect me to crawl under the comforter with you?" You teased. You watched as his flushed face went a bit darker as he tried to stutter out a response, "Calm down, Rai, I was just teasing. I don't want to get sick myself but if you want me to stay then I'll chill over here while you sleep."
"Don't tease me like that." He groaned, making you laugh a bit.
"Awe, but your reactions are so cute right now." You continued to tease. He grumbled again and you stuck your tongue out. He was half tempted to grab it but forced himself to stop.
"You're horrible." He muttered.
"Oh come on, don't be like that." You said, moving your hand to squeeze his thigh. As you did so, you felt something interesting next to said thigh that gentle prodded at you. Raihan choked on air as he felt you get a bit too close.
You retracted your hand and then snickered, "Guess you do want me to crawl under there with you, huh?"
"Horrible!" Raihan complained but didn't bother rejecting the idea.
"If you want me to curl up with you on your bed, then you best work on getting better." You said and Raihan paused at that.
"Wait...really?" He asked, a bit shocked at the boldness.
"My, my, I never said we'd do anything other than cuddling. No need for a reaction like that, you perv." You said and he rolled his eyes.
"It was implied." He retorted.
"Ya, I know. So how about you get better already so I can get rewarded for being such a good nurse?" You suggested.
"Rewarded..." It then clicked in his head as he showed a wolfish grin, "Oh I'll make sure you're well rewarded, sweetheart." His more confident persona coming out.
"Perfect, see to it then."

Art Theft and Bullying in The Old Guard Fandom
Hey TOG fandom! Do you know that stealing art is a crime? Do you have a problem with bullying (“because that poc muslim artist deserves!11!” based on a random tumblr post) within Discord servers? You do?... then read on.
Please grab some cookies and tea (and get comfortable!) and read on. This is a SERIOUS matter that I, as an outsider, was able to see WITHOUT being influenced by anyone else. I am not friends with any of the people involved here, although after these events I have empathy towards them.
I’m telling you this so you won’t be able to say to me "you are allied with/you are influenced by"... That is not the case. I have facts and evidence, so please read! I will be talking about ART THEFT, BASHING, REPOSTING, AND DISGUSTING BULLYING BEHAVIOUR towards a person who is not even in the server. As a fellow fanartist I feel so bad because  “this artist deserves it” in their mind. 
(Now: apparently there is a part of the beautiful The Old Guard fandom that thinks: the characters and people’s headcanons are more important rather than an actual person's well-being, and with every new illustration by the artist, they are badly spoken of. Because… ugh, why not?)
I talked about facts, so here’s one:
Tumblr media
If you joined this server (there are a couple servers with this name, please don't get mad at the wrong one - note the icon!)  The first thing you know is: karanoidandroid is a racist and a homophobe… in their opinion. People and also these mods think this because of some posts on tumblr by white people. AH.
Why? Hearsay, bimbi belli. If you go to this artist's page you won't find a single racist thing (the artist is literally a POC who is brown and a Muslim. How? - you may say- What? Ah yes, she must be under "white influence! 11 !! bad POC !!" and who says that? Ah right, a white person. Or another POC with a different experience.  wtf we have so many experiences, how can you say ‘you’re racist’ to a POC about this? Just because this artist’s preference is a different sex position, and no one is trying to force you to like it, eh!)
And from here on out... hatred. Terrible and personal hatred that has spread like wildfire. EVERYWHERE. Even people who know nothing about this fandom know that this artist is "racist and homophobic". Only.Because.Of.Hearsay.
So what did this artist do, you ask? She created a safe place on discord, away from tumblr. For people who like top!Joe. Don’t you like it? GOOD FOR YOU. That’s fantastic. We should as a fandom respect everyone's preference. This server was simply made so people could get away from tumblr and the drama and bullying. That’s it.
But did they leave this artist alone? No. The gossip had infected this fandom by now. It is now a "fact": this artist is x and y, you know. Because a couple people spread that, knowing nothing about the artist other than she was making a server they didn’t like.
Because THEY decided it. Because this artist decided not to fight and leave and you weren't satisfied with that.
Let’s BULLY a Muslim POC because we disagree with their views IN FANDOM! Because someone’s views on a CHARACTER are more important than an actual person, right? (According to sources who wished to remain anon, I know for sure the mod is white. A white mod is bullying and stealing the art of a brown Muslim woman because their views on FANDOM are different)
How? 
READ these screenshots. They were posted a couple days ago. EVERY FUCKIN’ TIME this artist posted an art… they bully her. (So yeah, it’s NOT the first time)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
No source, no link, no name. It was posted by a Mod (in blue) and the point is: a rule of this group is “don’t steal art/don’t put art without source” BUT HEY- WE’RE MODS and this artist deserves it!11!!1!)   
This poc muslim artist didn’t insist on “top!joe only”. It’s just her preference, you know? I don’t care about people’s preferences. If you want to read more about how racial issues have somehow gotten involved in sexual position preferences, check out this post by +lgbtq poc with a degree in Medieval Islamic History x (note: his blog is gone (bullying again!) so the link is to a reblog)
Tumblr media
“Where is the source?’ a person asks. They don’t want to put the source and THEY’RE THE MODS, they made that the R U L E.
But you already know, again only by hearsay: “the artist is homophobic and top!joe is full of bullshit”. (A mantra - but they’re NOT IN THE SERVER to know. It’s an assumption)  What bullshit? I dunno. I’ve been on tumblr for the past few months and I read everything, and what I read is just a preference, not racism. But they went to the artist saying “you can’t”. Just because they have a different opinion. A ‘woke opinion’ against a POC Muslim artist. Well.
You don’t like her preference? Again: BRAVO. Amen, that’s okay. But it’s not “end of story kiss kiss”.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you steal and you put a drawing without source… it’s not a joke anymore, do you know this mods? Even if you don’t like the artist or agree with all of her opinions, THEFT IS THEFT. There’s no excuse for it, especially if their excuse is saying the artist ‘deserves’ it.
Discord community Guidelines:
#1 Do not organize, participate in, or encourage harassment of others.
#17 You may not share content that violates anyone's intellectual property or other rights. 
 Anyway the artist deserves their art to be stolen ONLY BECAUSE OF HEARSAY everyone knows that she is..? (chorus: racist and homophobic!) And this was decided by white people and is now being used to bully a POC Muslim.
BRAVI! Have a biscuit!
You’re bashing and bashing and bashing and bashing for MONTHS, so now you don’t know the truth, but only this…  because /this/ it’s common knowledge.
Stealing art and trying to say that's okay because they’ve decided that someone they don't know is racist doesn't change the fact they stole is disgusting. Then saying it’s just a joke? wow, the audacity. 
Tumblr media
The point of all this is clear: Since I hate this person/I have this immeasurable hatred towards this artist from posts that other people have made about her THEN I am a mod so I can do it, I am allowed to steal her art, bash the artist and mock her in other comments and every time this person just… exists.
THESE ARE THE FACTS. I have so many screenshots. Thanks to some people I know within the discord. This is only ONE day. It has happened before. 
Tumblr media
Why “that artist and linking her blog would break multiple server rules and make numerous people uncomfortable?” Ah, yes, c’mon you know… I know you know! (Chorus: Because the artist is racist and homophobic… even though they’ve never spoken to her, and are literally bullying a POC Muslim and refusing to source art)
Well, yeah, Without proof. Just “common knowledge and the same old “by hearsay” on tumblr. By ‘woke’ people and then it was shared by people like me or you if you don’t know the story.
Tumblr media
And how did this story end? They stole the drawing. They put the stolen illustration in a group of TWO HUNDRED and SEVENTY PEOPLE and said  “oops, i did it again” and they refuse to link the source. It’s stealing. And it’s serious. It’s terrible because they are bashing this artist all the time. 
TO REITERATE
Tumblr media
1.They STOLE an artist’s work and laughed about it, which is bullying and against their own rules. This has happened more than once with this artist. 
2. When they were called out, they bullied the person calling them out.
3. When they didn’t like that they were called out, THE PEOPLE (yellow and green) CALLING THEM OUT WERE KICKED OUT OF THE SERVER, despite art theft and bullying being against the server rules. Again, the rules that they made. 
Regardless of what you think of the artist, stealing art sets a dangerous precedent for future fandoms. If someone doesn’t like your opinion does that mean they can steal YOUR art/writing/creations? Because if you think it’s okay for this person’s art to be stolen because you don’t agree with them, that’s basically what you’re saying.  
They were cruel. And TOG doesn’t deserve this. I love this movie so much. I love this fandom. I love to make fanarts of Joe and Nicky. Joe is so sweet, full of love, a true warrior and Nicky isn’t an Italian dramaqueen, he isn’t naive, he is kind and a bravo sniper. Two imperfect men, but perfect for each other. A Muslim and a Christian, a white and a brown man. Together. Not stereotyped. Wow, thanks at least for that 2020.
and I hope we can do better, in future.

Theory As To Why Magic Really Disappeared From Equestria
 we know in G5, it is shown that not only have all three of Pony Tribes (even though there are technically more than three pony tribes, and I am counting the Bat-Ponies, Merpony and even Sea-Pony/Hippogriff)
lost all their magic, but they went back to hating and mistrusting each other.
if G5 was from the Timeline that Twilight, Spike and Starlight unknowingly abandoned, and without the element of Magic’s Holder, the Element of Magic itself started to go berserk and start to drain the magic from the land itself and even to the point of feeding off the magic of the creatures living in Equestria.
at some point, all creatures who would visit Equestria had to leave before all their magic was stolen and a Anti-Magic Barrier was placed around Equestria.
we know that the forming of Equestria, or Equestria II was perhaps not the right way, and the mysterious pony that Clover The Clever was possibly linked to this.
the broken ice and snow of land past the Storm King’s Castle,
is possibly the Ponies first homeland, Equestria I.
and the Mysterious Pony that used a Memory Stone to take away someone’s memories, was probably used on the tribes to forget that they didn’t originally come from the land of broken ice and snow, and it was consumed by the magic that ended up in the hands of Storm King many moons later.
the events of Clover The Clever chasing Mysterious Pony, might of been way back the founding of Equestria, or in this case the New Equestria...
before the Pony Tribes traveled on a boat from their ruined home of Equestria I to there future Equestria II....my theory is that it was full of only Earth Ponies.
Unicorns, Pegasi,Merpony, Bat-Pony and Hippogriff did not come to be until they made contact with The King of Monsters himself Grogar,
who used his bell to transform half of Equinekind into Unicorns, Pegasi, Merpony, Bat-Pony, Hippogriff (who would also take on Sea-Pony forms many moons later.) and I am gonna say Breezies and Sirens.
the other half of the Equinekind was able to get away safely,
but once the Earth Ponies met with half of their friends and family turned into different ponies, some disowned their own family for not being a Earth Pony anymore and others did still love their family and accepted them as they are.
the ponies that were part of the group that didn’t end up changed by Grogar’s magic bell, was Clover The Clever.
a pony who stole the memory stone from Grogar, used it to take away the memories of everypony to make them forget that they all were Earth Ponies before coming to the new land they call home.
if Clover had destroyed the memory stone right away, everypony would of remember that they all use to be Earth Ponies before half of them were changed by Grogar’s Magic.
we also know that Celestia is a liar even if she does seem to have the best intentions at times, but other times they are not of the best intentions.
the potion that Zecora had Twilight drink, was perhaps tampered with,
how would Zecora know to give Twilight that potion, unless Celestia instructed her to do so.
half of the memories of the past that happen, were perhaps true,
but it only showed half of what happen...
what if the Time Loop that Starlight, Twilight and Spike was destined to happen,
and if Twilight drank the potion again after seeing that Discord was the cause of the trouble, she would of ended up seeing a broken sky above her and seeing through it, she would see Midnight Sparkle, then when Sunset got through to Sci-Twi, the part that was Midnight Sparkle fell through to Equestria in the Past, on the era where Luna would become Nightmare Moon,
and at the same time parts of Midnight Sparkle broke into two parts of themselves, one became the darkness that would become Nightmare Moon and the other followed Time Traveling Twilight, Spike and Starlight.
the part of Midnight Sparkle then ended up going to some point in time,
Midnight Sparkle ended up transforming into a baby pony and left herself outside the home of Twilight Velvet and Nightlight.
still being able to open up portals to other worlds, Midnight used her magic to bring a Baby Shinning Armor from the past through and used the pool that can clone a pony.
she cloned the him and send him back to the human world, and open a portal to the past in the world she was in now, and send the foal Shining Armor clone to the newly weds Twilight Velvet and Nightlight.
Midnight Sparkle might of known that in the era she is now, Sci-Twi’s Pony Counterpart, will not be born until G5 Era.
the Twilight Sparkle from The Human World/EQG World, wears glasses and always has her hair up in either a hair-bun or ponytail.
even if it can be normal for counterparts to have differences, and some will wear glasses and the other will not have glasses at all, or if one counterpart was born female and the other born male.
but in EQG-Earth, all the creatures from Equestria from different era of time,
are all in one era in the Human World.
this would mean that Sugarcoat, Soursweet, Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest, have not yet been born yet in Equestria in the G4 Era, and will only be born sometime around the G5 Era.
it be interesting if Pegasus Indigo Zap was Foalhood friends with Zipp Storm and Pipp Petals, and was the only other Pegasus that knew that they and their Mom couldn’t fly until the magic came back.
I believe that Starlight was destined to take Twilight and Spike back in time,
to allow the Time Loops to happen, because it helped keep Twilight Sparkle of G4 to keep existing.
because without the Anomaly-Twilight Sparkle (True Name: Midnight Sparkle),
Sunset would of not went back to Equestria of the G4 Era to steal Princess Twilight’s Crown with the Element of Magic in it....
the Element of Magic has two sides, the Positive and Negative Magic.
it was the dark negative side of the element of magic, that transformed Sunset in to a “She-Demon”....and once Princess Twilight got her crown back and left through the portal, some of the dark magic in her crown was left over on the portal which would then ended up injecting Sci-Twi who when after touching it,
would then infect the device she was creating, which would then start stealing magic, which would then result in the birth of Midnight Sparkle, and after Sci-Twi is healed and transform back to normal, the Midnight Sparkle half ends up being cleaved from her body and falls through the large hole below Sci-Twi & Sunset.
the Anomaly-Twilight, locked her true memories away after she brought together her “family” and acted like a normal filly.
but she was anything born normal, as she kept feeding on the magic of everything and everyone around her.
this is what I believe, and when she was filly she had walked by Scootaloo’s Pregnant Mother and ends up being part of the reason why Scootaloo was born without the ability to fly.
the magic in Equestria was always draining at a very slow pace,
and at some point in the many moons later when it came close to being G5 Era, all the magic would be gone.
this might be a really crazy fan theory, but it might of been a good idea that Cozy Glow was trying to get rid of the magic or at least, transported it somewhere else where Princess Twilight Sparkle/Midnight Sparkle, could not feed on it.
but at the same time it would of been a bad idea, as the creatures in Equestria would still need magic to survive, they would go through Magic Withdrawal because of the generation of being part of magic because of Grogar’s magic transforming their ancestors.
Cozy Glow might of been told by the Tree of Harmony, of who Princess Twilight Sparkle truly is and that she is a Anomaly, as well as a being that feeds on the magic around her.
the element magic, keeps Princess Twilight Sparkle’s hunger in check,
but the tree of harmony, or we can just say Harmony Sparkle, knew that the element could only work on her for so long, and at some point Princess Twilight Sparkle will consume all the magic in Equestria.
Harmony made Cozy Glow promise not to say anything, as mentioning it could cause Princess Twilight’s memories as Midnight Sparkle to resurface.
Cozy Glow could of had her reasons as to why she wanted to take magic away besides becoming Empress, I still believe she did genuinely cared about Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom....
and we know it is possible those three did something insensitive that caused something to break within Cozy Glow.
their Human Counterparts, were Anon-A-Miss and they had a history of being Gabby-Gums.
so part of the reason why Cozy Glow turned out the way she did, besides Discord changing her into a darker personality...
could be because of Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.
  I believed that she did truly care and loved them and saw them as her first true friends, but it is possible that something happen between herself and those three, that caused her to hold some grudge on them.
part of Cozy Glow’s plan to get rid and transport the magic to another world,
could of been to get revenge on her three former friends,
as well as keeping the magic from being Princess Twilight’s food.
if Princess Twilight did get her memory back when she was ruler and Luster Dawn was in front of her to witness the mixture of magic and dark magic around her teacher....
she would also witness the tall mare cleaving into two versions of herself,
the part of Midnight Sparkle that became good, and the other part that was still evil.
the good part takes the form of how Princess Twilight looked before she became ruler of all Equestria, while other half that decides to go by Midnight Sparkle, stays tall and being a Midnight Sparkle version of the Future-Twilight.
the now freed dark half of Midnight Sparkle starts to feed on all the magic,
and many moons later during when it is close to being the G5 Era, almost all the magic is gone.
but there were still hope, there was enough magic to create the Crystals of the Unicorn, Pegasi and Earth-Ponies which would restore the magic once all three of the Pony Tribes are brought back together, and The Magic of Friendship and Love is truly realized.
the other half of Midnight Sparkle would still exist in the past, causing Luna to turn into Nightmare Moon and even trying to stop or tempt The Mane Six.
not everyone has to take this theory seriously, but what if it did turn out that Sci-Twi’s Pony Counterpart wouldn’t be born until the G5 Era,
and The Pony Sci-Twi was destined to befriend Sunny, Zipp, Pipp, Hitch  and Izzy.
well this is just a Fan Theory, and not all fan theories have to be true.
the timeline that Twilight showed Starlight, where Equestria is dead and with no magic, is possibly not the alternate present but was a future where Midnight Sparkle reawakens and had ate all of the magic, and it would take many moons for the life in Equestria to live once more after magic was taken away by Midnight Sparkle.
Midnight Sparkle’s creation/birth, was perhaps a result of the dark magic within Twilight’s Element of Harmony, as it is a neutral magic that is made up of both dark and light, and can leave magical residue, and touching the residue can infect the person that touches it, like Sci-Twi, who in turn ends up infecting the device she created.
the magical residue would of became a part of her body and it would not end up infecting anyone else who ends up touching her, either by helping her up or placing arm around her.
the portal being closed was perhaps a good thing, if Princess Twilight and Midnight Sparkle had met too soon, it could of ended up causing a Magical Paradox that would end up destroying all the dimensions.
not everyone has to agree to that, that if Princess Twilight (who is a future self of Midnight Sparkle) were to come through the portal and meet Midnight Sparkle, it could cause a Paradox that would destroy everything.
even if not all the theories have to be correct, I still think that Element of Magic might still have a dark side to it, where it will corrupt or heal.
I believe that the reason why G5 Era lost their magic, might of been because of Midnight Sparkle reawakening in Princess Twilight during her reign and perhaps sometime after she send Luster Dawn to live in Ponyville or the possibly renamed Creatureville, Ponyville being renamed isn’t unlikely, if other creatures besides Equinefolk started living there.
Spike lived there before, so if other dragons, changelings and other creatures started to live there, maybe the town would end up having a name change to sound neutral to all creatures.
there is also a possibilities that the Mane Six have false memories on how they got their cutie marks, while some parts of the memories are true, the other parts on how it happen might still be false.
we all have seen how Gilda was like when she was little, kind of like Fluttershy.
what if Gilda and Fluttershy had met before, and the stuff that Gilda yelled at Fluttershy before, was the same words that Fluttershy yelled at her when they were both in flight camp.
the Human Counterpart of Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, were G5 Era and their true pony counterparts would not be born until the G5 Era in Equestria.
before locking away her memories, Midnight Sparkle kidnap the baby versions of the human counterparts and cloned them by using that magic pool,
but it was not without it’s defects, and after sending the baby human versions of Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie back to their proper timeline....
Midnight then brought each of their families through and clones them as well.
the clone version of EQG/G5-Fluttershy, was one of the defective clones.
once being a bully and even being the leader of those bully colts.
the one who Rainbow was truly standing up for was Gilda,
then somepony used magic to switch Gilda and Fluttershy’s personalities and even gave all those there false memories.
this could of happen before Twilight, Starlight and Spike came to that point of time, if they had came a lot sooner, they would of seen how Fluttershy was before.
the one who changed G4-Fluttershy into a most kinder personality,
could of been somepony who knew she was a clone that didn’t end up being like the Human-Fluttershy or the G5-Fluttershy Pony that had yet to be born in Equestrian and will be along with her friends, along with Sci-Twi.
that somepony might of been a distant century future Princess Twilight,
who no longer sharing the same body with the evil part of Midnight Sparkle.
she went back in time to make sure the events that her and her friends get their cutie marks still happen, but some of the memories would have to be altered as well as their personalities.
this idea and theory could be more fanon than actually canon, but that’s okay.
we can see it as a MLPFIM/EQG/G5 AU.                                                             
but my theory about Midnight Sparkle ending up in Equestria and slowly draining all magic until there was no more, but there was enough to create the earth pony, pegasus and unicorn crystals to restore the magic....
I still see as headcanon, but not everyone has to agree that might be possibly true.
if Cozy Glow had succeeded in getting rid of the magic and sending it all to maybe EQG World, the magic might end up being restored so long as there is magic in the tree of harmony, the tree could possibly restore the magic.
I can talk about the theory and how it can contact with those three crystals, another time.

The shrill cry of a true gull can cause any of them to long for what lies beyond the great Sea without warning, for that strange country hidden even before the world changed forever; this they know. This is why they try to avoid the shoreline, those who wish to stay here, little though there seems to be for them to stay for, here where so much remains unfinished, inchoate, nothing truly complete or unmarred. This is why Círdan, in his long penance for some offence already lost to the slow crawl of time, knows no relief; this is why he has long stopped his ears with yellow beeswax, though he still sings through his grizzled beard while he works, an unidentifiable ancient little tune for no one in particular. He will not hear his own voice again until the last grey ship has left his weathered hands, until history ends for all of Eldalië and he is freed from his shallow grey harbor to drift out into the ocean’s vast blue embrace. 
This is why the Singers of the Shore sing strange, overlapping songs, near-discordant, deaf to one another; though they row to the same rhythm, perfectly attuned; though they dance to the same song vibrating upwards through beaten wood beneath the soles of their bare feet, slapping the ship’s deck in tandem. When they wish for company beyond touch osanwë is the only way left for them in truth, unless one is ready to leave; and in this old haven strict boundaries between self and other have slowly eroded to a degree those not so close to the ever-changing Sea find disconcerting. Visitors to these strange cities tend to prefer Hwerme, an old sign-language, fallen mostly out of use with the advent of the palantír; thought-up when it was hard even to reach one’s allies on the other hill, separated usually by vast swathes of screaming, trumpetting armies on the run, though sharp sight might yet see the arms of a friend speaking. 
The call to come home to the land beyond the world is shrill, and full of sorrow, with an edge of impatience to it; this they know. Some have wondered why such a vulgar beast should be the one to announce irresolvable longing to an immortal heart, if not set it ablaze itself. This mean, rude bird, fighting and squabbling on the sand, living often on half-spoiled, stolen fish, so often their sole message from otherwise silent Gods. They wonder, and do not know; though some suppose it is simply that old Ulmo speaks through their yellow beaks. Picking diminutive form as he likes to do when he fears frightening his disciples too greatly to be of use after, spreading himself thin until one might look him in any orange-ringed, cold grey eye. They do not wonder at there being hundreds of birds in the air at once, not one of them speaking with exactly the same voice; for are there not hundreds of waves emerging and dissolving all the time in the Sea, all and none of them the shape of their Lord?
But Ulmo does not speak through the birds. Ulmo does not speak through the birds, but to them; quite the other way around. If discordant song buries sharp hooks deep in tender elvish hearts, it is through familiarity, not novelty; through sorrow, not promised joy in land so far unseen. If the birds of the shore are a vulgar, squabbling bunch; well, might not the same be said for many of their own forebears, once one separates them from the dazzle of song? If there is an edge of impatience to their incessant, insistent announcement, there is also in their voices a simple, raw pain, unblemished by beauty; no nightingale promise of paradise lost before most of those who remain were born is what draws a heart away from home, but a voice like the cry of a soldier rent open on the battlefield, bleeding out his last alone. 
The Sea is a net, the sky a hook, drawing them all in; hesitant Nandor and unwilling Avari, a sorrowful Noldo and his still vengeful King. A low conch-note sounds over the great water every time a lone fëa recalcitrant or simply afraid refuses Mandos’ heavy, Dooming call, saying; here you may stay and leave everything unfinished, unjudged; here you may dwell safely until the end of time, at a remove from any Gods other than I, both dark and light, away from any who would change or use you; who would speak your story and set the price you are to pay for it, or take and twist you until very little of what you were would remain in some fell beast, ravenous with hunger for what it can no longer bear to have. No. Here by the Sea, where the water shifts restlessly against the rocks it meets with the tides just the same in every century, you may stay just as you are, albeit caught in flesh of less repute to avoid suspicion. You may stray as far inland as you like, though you must ever watch for the Morgoth’s heavy fist, and are safer always by the water, where you might leave everything as inchoate, unfinished, threads hanging forever uncut from immense and changing tapestries, singing no song but the sharp mewing cry of the soul. 
This is the shrill cry of a true gull which can cause any of them to long for what lies beyond the great Sea without warning; for it is the call of memory, and of loves lost, sometimes long before they crossed the sundering water, left behind in blessed regret. 
 And so it may be Fingolfin’s cool grey eyes that catch yours, one lonely evening on the empty pier by the lake, orange-ringed and without mercy for what he is about the inflict, which is after all only the song of himself; his heart’s cry caught in sharp-beaked tongue; all the memory of Aman distilled into the simple, wretched, longing call of a common seagull.

hi i’ve got more of that bug fables roleswap au for people to peruse! this time, it’s largely focused on some side characters, some of which was a collaboration between me and my beloved friend @behold-a-bastard-in-this-house ! go check him out :-)
as always, under the cut is spoilers for the entirety of bug fables! similarly, this covers similar themes to what’s covered in bug fables, so if any of those bug you, take care of yourself!
the swaps covered here are: maki & kina swapping with zasp & mothiva, and general fuff swapping with vanessa! as with the central three protagonists,  it gets a little more funky from there, in the nature of telling a fun and fresh story AND preserving major & important parts of their original personalities and backstories!
ZASP & MOTHIVA AS MAKI & KINA
specifically here, zasp is maki; acting as elizant ii’s royal blade and going out on top secret missions for her. the layers i particularly like here are seen in canon: when asked about the wasps, zasp refers to them as “pests,” and for reasons currently unknown (but likely related to him having damaged antennae, etc.) he isn’t affected by the wasp king’s crown at all! the trust elizant ii has in him extends past the possibility of him being controlled or betraying her, which i VERY much like as a general (hand waves) background theme
the reason why i considered this swap to begin with was because mothiva and kina kinda reminded me of each other! and in a way, so did kina & zasp, but i felt this particular swap was more fun. i think mothiva keeps her idol status, here; most of the time she’s complaining about how zasp can’t accompany her as a body guard to her shows anymore, or about how he keeps leaving her behind (”a top secret mission would be GREAT for exposure!!” which is largely why she doesn’t end up going with him, lmao)
i also think that both of them are significantly further in their character development than they are in canon, though? mostly because: without zasp as her right hand and supporter all the time, mothiva has to actually deal with anyone who rejects her personally, and The Queen Herself supporting her is very good for her ego already! meanwhile zasp actually has a healthy level of seperation from mothiva and can foster that relationship without it fully starting from somewhere parasocial, lmao. i simply like this for them a lot!
MAKI & KINA AS ZASP & MOTHIVA
this one’s a little bit of a (handwaves) stretch of the canon role, so stick with me here!
i think maki & kina are more experienced explorers who have been trying at every step of the way to find the artifacts, and kina (and by extension maki) are more than a little annoyed that team snakemouth keeps getting to all of them first! i think maki largely thinks that they shouldn’t be out there to begin with - leif was BANNED from exploration for a REASON, after all, even if he IS proving efficient at artifact collection, and kina is annoyed that her and her brother aren’t getting the recognition they deserve!
this leads to the same threads you see in canon: maki & kina attempt to interfere at golden hills, stating that team snakemouth isn’t strong enough to take on whatever’s at the top of the hills, and that they’re destined to fail. this is then followed by the two interrupting in the termite kingdom - the queen is right there, after all! if they can prove that team snakemouth isn’t strong enough to defeat them, then they’ll be able to prove themselves and go after the artifacts themselves, even if this is jeopardizing bugaria.
a key difference here is that maki & kina actually regret their actions in termite kingdom! what you see there is a personal apology to the queen and an acknowledgement of what could’ve happened after they realize - no public apology to team snakemouth though, haha, outside of maki pulling them aside later.
maki saves kabbu from a near death experience :that one confetti discord emoji:
THE FUFF & VANESSA SWAP
once again a big thank you to my friend fall for being the huge brained genius behind this swap!! 
the conceit of this swap is that general fuff manages to escape the wasp king’s control from injuries sustained in a long-ago battle, while vanessa doesn’t. she starts acting as a false figurehead leader to the wasps, and has a similar battle gimmick to ultimax, in which she is always hiding behind her troops! (in canon, she even says that she’s never done combat for her kingdom - something that is still very true here!)
meanwhile, fuff is locked up - his focus is mainly on strategy, too, and while he’s brilliant at it, he has no people to lead, no army to plan around. while he could probably fight the capture, he doesn’t actually want to hurt his soldiers - we are a STRONG believer in actual good leader fuff when not mind controlled here! he manages to steal the flame brooch before he’s captured, though, hoping to use it to take down the king; although this fails, the king doesn’t realize he’s stolen it, and in her mind controlled state, neither does vanessa!
fuff, when broken out, proceeds to offer to help elizant ii plan defenses and battle against the wasps and the wasp king, and is the one to give team snakemouth the flame brooch before the giant’s lair. vanessa does get a tank. you LOVE to see a girlboss winning
that’s all for this post!! this was once again very fun to write out and explain; if you have any questions, just shoot me an ask about ‘em :-)

Linked Universe Zeldas
Tumblr media
So last December I decided to draw my idea for the Zeldas on a whim. Found the WIP recently and decided to finish it.
Also, I typed up all my headcanons for them because I have a lot. They are below the cut. 
And I put down nickname ideas, because I'm bad at naming things, and I think the LU discord has already decided on a set of nicknames that they like. Personally, I really dislike most of those though.
❖Corresponding Link: Four
     o Age: Teen, just older than Four. Not a major difference, just enough that she can tease him about it.
     o Status: Officially still holds the title of princess, acts more like a queen. Her father is extremely protective of her, but after Vaati he conceded that he couldn’t protect her forever. Since then she has been learning to fight, forge (not good at it), and taking over more and more responsibilities from her aging father
     o Nickname ideas: Light, Picori, Force
     o Fighting style: Mostly fights with a sword and shield. Has extremely strong innate light magic. (light force, although weaker now) Doesn’t necessarily know how to focus it yet (magic bomb, some healing). If you are going to be on the battlefield stop running around like that.
     o Current relationship to Link: Best friends, practically siblings. When they were kids there was definitely some major crushing going on. Then everything with Vaati happened and things got… complicated. Neither she nor Link really knows what type of romance they want for the future. They still play lots of pranks on people. She helps keep him stable on the days when his colors get a little too wild.
     o Random stuff: Hyperactive and cheery. Always something new to see or learn and she wants to do it. hates sitting still, she is always moving somehow (got turned to stone). Top is hers; Link made the sword (gift), rest is extras from four’s parts (stolen). Hair is naturally extremely curly, lets it down for formal things, tied up for adventuring. Helped four get back to functioning as Link after being four people. Will attack him to get him to take care of himself. Is taller than both four and wind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
❖ Corresponding Link: Hyrule
     o Age: At least a hundred. Was 18 when she was cursed to sleep, no one is exactly sure how long she was asleep.
     o Status: Was a princess before falling asleep, offered the crown once woken up. Really over being royal. Link helped her get a job and lodging on a farm at the edge of Hyrule. Really likes that.
     o Nickname ideas: Legacy, Farmgirl, First, Ancestor.
     o Fighting style: Healer. Lots of bandages to patch everyone up. Doesn’t like to fight, but will stab a man if the need arises. The world is cruel, be kind. Has weak magic, a little bit of healing, and lots of prophetic. Knows the best places to hide on a battlefield.
     o Current relationship to Link: They are good friends. He checks up on her from time to time, and she makes sure that he always has a place to rest and relax in safety. Their world is a little bit of a mess, everyone needs a support system.
     o Random stuff: Has insomnia. Afraid of not waking up. Extremely wise, or maybe just world-weary. On tense but good terms with current queen Zelda of Hyrule. Forgives her brother, has come to terms with her fate. Taciturn and calm, probably depressed. Extremely sensitive to dark magic. (like an old burn wound) Dislikes people who use it to forcefully get their way. Doesn’t outright hate the principle of it, but will actively shy away from the presence of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
❖ Corresponding Link: Time
     o Age: Adult, mentally/physically the same age.
     o Status: Queen of Hyrule. She is married and has a daughter.
     o Nickname ideas: Destiny, Sheik, Queen, Lyre/Harp (what is that thing?), Sage.
     o Fighting style: Fights mostly with magic. Uses the harp to play songs (ironically fights like HW sheik) has basic sheikah skills. Has only been training to fight for a short time, is still fairly physically weak. One of the most proficient magic users all round. Can take down the basic mooks, but won't last long against a bigger enemy. Knows how to fight alone.
     o Current relationship to Link: Strained. Not OOT sheik. Is MM Zelda. Only knows link as the boy who showed up to save the day, then left. Has had occasional interactions, she visits the ranch, he works with the guard. Only in the past year or two, she has had dream glimpses of the alternate timeline. She knows that she and link killed Ganon side by side, that she helped link disguised as sheik. Does not know about the seven years or most of the trauma. Basically, seen like five cutscenes and nothing else.
     o Random stuff: Prophetic dreams. Knew she would be leaving on a quest. Kingdom is well set up to work in her absence. Loves her family, is an idiot who doesn’t know the importance of checking in via letters for anything other than politics. Snobbish, proud, put too much stock in titles. Best manager, not a great leader (doesn’t have the personal skills for it). Sees the world as extremely black and white.
❖ Corresponding Link: Twilight
     o Age: Young adult.
     o Status: Newly coronated queen, has been running the show for a few years now, it's just barely official
     o Nickname ideas: Dusk, Dawn, Shadow
     o Fighting style: Uses mainly rapier to fight. Also, a great archer. Because of temporarily sharing a soul with Midna, has access to powerful twilight magic. Not as strong as Midna, still strong. Has goddess magic (channel through weapons). Tries to hide twili powers mostly since it's “dark magic”, but only technically. She knows it's not true dark magic and really just wants to avoid a lecture (does not get along well with time’s Zelda). Knows her way around the edge of a battlefield.
     o Current relationship to Link: They barely know each other. Only really interacted through saving the world things. Then they went separate ways. She considers Midna a sister and wants to slap both Midna and Link for not realizing they like each other. Once she knows Link better, she will probably tease him a lot.
     o Random stuff: Unlike most of the other Zeldas, sees the world as being mostly shades of grey, rather than stark black and white. Somber and stoic. Secretly a massive gremlin. Has a few habits picked up from Midna's soul along with the magic. Is awkward around ‘normal’ people. Has spent almost her entire life in political settings. One of the best politicians. Rather open about her feelings, it's just small and easily missed. Feels guilty for the troubles that befell both Hyrule and the twilight realm. Hates having to stand back unable to help. Screw rules she is going to help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
❖ Corresponding Link: Wild
      o Age: 118-120ish(?) I don’t know how long it has been since the events of BOTW.
      o Status: Technically queen, currently is focused on rebuilding Hyrule. Has no intention to take up the throne any time soon.
      o Nickname ideas: Scholar, Architect, Champion, Urbosa, Scientist, Little Bird.
      o Fighting style: Not a great fighter but she is learning. Decent with a sword. Gets a crossbow from twilight and then makes her own out of sheikah tech. (currently has no magic and good riddance). Learning to navigate a battlefield.
      o Current relationship to Link: They are good friends, but it's awkward. Neither of them are totally sure how to act around the other. Basically, either gremlin adventures, or awkward small talk. Past the first road trip, only interact a few times a month. She is caught between trying to mourn her knight and accepting her new hero. Cooking shenanigans.
      o Random stuff: Loves learning new things. Can and will study and find the effects of every plant. Knows poisons, antidotes, elixirs, potions, and everything else. Still trying to come to terms with everything that happened. Frequent nightmares. Claustrophobic/minor insomnia. Knows all the languages. Loves studying sheikah tech, and finally gets the chance to as much as she wants. Hates the castle. So many things change culturally over 100 years and she has no idea what to do. Awkward, but sincere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
❖ Corresponding Link: Wind
     o Age: Teen
     o Status: Technically the queen. Hyrule currently consists of a single town on the mainland, and lots of plans. Queenish. Anjean is teaching her how to politics.
     o Nickname ideas: Name is tetra that’s it.
     o Fighting style: Uses a pirate saber as well as the phantom sword. (IDK if spirit tracks is part of Wind’s story, but I was not passing up the opportunity to give tetra a massive sword). Decent archer, and can channel light magic into weapons…. most of the time…... It’s a work in progress. Also has general goddess magic. Big explosion of light. Knows her way around a battlefield
     o Current relationship to Link: Serve on a crew together. Best friends and partners in crime. There is a lot that needs to be done to start a country, they will do it together. It’s not going quickly. They keep getting distracted. Why do paperwork when you can steal things.
     o Random stuff: Smol. Link hit puberty and got a growth spurt. She did not. Not a politician, this child should not be in charge, whose idea was it to let a pirate child run a country. Great leader. All the social skills. Shoot first… that’s it. Sassy. Trying her best to be a good princess and live up to her lineage. It's hard. There is no book. Feels like she is letting everyone down. Hates big birds. Occasional nightmares. Really hates being cold. (turned to stone)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
❖ Corresponding Link: Legend
     o Age: Older teen
     o Status: Queen. Has ruled for a while. Amazing support system. They regularly keep things running when she gets kidnapped. Good relations with all surrounding countries.
     o Nickname ideas: Maiden, Sage, Hilda.
     o Fighting style: Doesn’t. Pacifist. She can attack with light magic, chooses not to. Healing magic, team buffs, defense. Just because she doesn’t fight doesn’t mean she will let her team die. Strongest support magic. Does not know her way around a battlefield.
     o Current relationship to Link: Good work friends. They get along well enough. No massive personal relations. She asks him for help with killing monsters, he asks her for help with laws. It works for them. Occasionally they will get lunch together and catch up. (aka make sure he didn’t get himself killed.) Can use telepathy to contact Link at any time. Keeps it to emergencies only. Because he finds it massively annoying, and a little creepy.
     o Random stuff: Massive romantic. Currently single. Misses being able to gossip with Hilda. Kind and compassionate. Does not stand for injustice. Will forgive until the end of time. Just because she is kind does not mean she is weak. Strong-willed. Good politician. Loved by her people, even if Ganon has attacked like five times. Ganon is the only person on the list of people she would happily shank. So much paperwork. Give the girl a break. Keeps craft supplies on her for long imprisonments. Scrying magic, and a little bit prophetic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
❖ Corresponding Link: Warriors
     o Age: Adult. Older than warriors, younger than time or his Zelda.
     o Status: Queen of Hyrule, and commander of its army. Her Hyrule has been in turmoil for a while even before the war with Cia.
     o Nickname ideas: General, Commander, Tactician.
     o Fighting style: Best fighter. Can use all the weapons. Summon a bow or rapier of pure light magic. Strongest understanding of how the goddess magic works with weapons. Mostly fights as Zelda (basically her gameplay style), still uses her sheik disguise sometimes (ironically fights similar to smash bros sheik because of extensive sheikah training.) Lives on the battlefield.
     o Current relationship to Link: They work seamlessly together in battle and are friends outside of it. They haven't actually known each other very long so it's awkward sometimes. She still has to occasionally remind him that she doesn’t need a title. If they were two kids in a village then they would probably date. But they are not, and things are complicated. Duty to the kingdom comes first.
      o Random stuff: Best makeup. Amazing, if ruthless, politician. Best historian. Blunt. No time for crap. One of the best leaders doesn’t have the pure charisma to outdo warriors though. Resting B Face. 90% of soldiers are scared of her. Comes across as harsh, rude, cold. Really, she is just a bit awkward and hides behind a mask. Can’t do people, can do basically anything else. Minor prophetic magic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
❖ Corresponding Link: Sky
     o Age: Old teen/young adult. Older than Sky.
     o Status: Technically the queen, but Hyrule hasn’t been founded yet. Officially goddess Hylia reincarnated. She doesn’t go around flaunting the title, but sometimes the memories of Hylia she gained will overwhelm her. Full goddess mode. Doesn’t stand for dark magic.
     o Nickname ideas: Hylia, Sun, Swallow.
     o Fighting style: trained at the academy and knows how to fight with a sword. Not a good fighter. massive bursts of power usually win her fights. Sometimes she can channel a little bit of her power, but usually, she just gets overwhelmed by all of it. General goddess magic, cannot channel through weapons. Thinks she does, but in fact, does not know her way around a battlefield
     o Current relationship to Link: Do I need to explain? These two are head over heels. Sappy love birds all the way. Childhood friends. Everyone is surprised they're not engaged yet.
     o Random stuff: More adventure-ready style to reflect working on founding Hyrule. Fierce and determined. Kind. But she will get her way. Struggles to balance her mortality and newfound divinity. Feels bad that Sky had to fight for her. Loves her bird. Beautiful singing voice. She is trying her best but is in fact very bad at being an adventurer. Good at sewing. Loads of people skills, working on leadership skills. Best with children. 6th sense type prophetic magic. (aka see a shot before it is taken, but not a coming calamity.)
That's it. Congrats on making it to the end. You get a cookie. 🍪
