ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE

& THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH.

equinox's writing blog, but some may call it a roleplay blog. it's something like that, but primarily focused on prompts. threads will most likely be done on discord, but we'll see how much i'll stick to this as we go.

READ THIS LINK BEFORE INTERACTING.

this is non-negotiable. i won't interact or follow back anyone who hasn't read the rules on the link above and trust me, i will know if you haven't.

here goes the muse list.

oc-friendly & multifandom but primarily focused on the dcu at the moment, with some relapses towards league of legends's universe.

minors and personals will be blocked on sight. there is no negotiation on this, either. if there is no age on your blog anywhere, i will also block you prehemptively. i'd rather be safe than sorry.

unsavory content ahead, tagged accordingly upon request, mostly focused on past trauma & a myriad of unhealthy coping mechanisms derived from it. be aware if following, i will hardblock if you complain about this in specific.

CURRENTLY ON HIATUS OVER FINALS UNTIL MID JUNE.

@ Illyana! - "So you're a teleporter and you can use magic, right? So why the sword as well? Aren't you already powerful enough without it?"

THE SORCERESS SMILES, though it hardly looks welcoming: a sharp thing hiding sharper fangs. she likes these questions, really, mostly because they always come from laymen.

(she does not mean to look like jagged edges and sharpened things, like a threat rather than a person, but she has forged herself this way.

it is a hard thing to let go.)

"you don't know a lot about magic, huh?" she lifts her sword with one hand despite its size. it is like an extended part of her, a limb almost. losing it is like losing a dear part of herself. "this is a soulsword. it is part of my magic and part of me. it can cut through both enchantments and flesh, and it looks exactly like i want it to."

i mentioned it with a friend, but even for people who are willing to see someone through a redemption arc, gabriel can be... a lot.

he is directly or indirectly responsible for a very considerable number of deaths, which one can dismiss and say it was a war and... yes, it was a war, but one he started and one he actively made the choices that led to entire planets being wiped out, so the whole genocidal tyrant thing? yeah. it makes him a bit tricky to get through a conventional redemption arc by standard measures.

he also has god-like powers as every other omega level mutant can have, so forcing him through it is tricky unless you are very good at convincing him or... outright depower him, which within universe has a really heavy connotation.

it's interesting to grapple with the morality of post-war of kings gabriel being space lobotomized and then thrown back to earth, with a "clean slate" under the protection of krakoan law despite the fact he is by all means a war criminal that SHOULD be executed but also... a victim of the very system he used to try to destroy the galaxy through.

there were so many ways they could have made his arc as the shi'ar majestor more meaningful considering the fact that he had been a shi'ar slave/victim of their fucked-up ways, but abnett sort of forgot that gabriel had his own background and made him into as much of a caricature as possible.

i know alex hates his own powers but if you tell me he doesn't have a few party tricks he does sometimes just because, i disagree. especially after reading meltdown and watching him light quark's cigarette with his palm.

alex runs hot.

i also generally don't think he feels cold easily because his plasma generation makes him capable of generating heat by himself. he isn't AS good at it as, say, gabriel who can actively manipulate heat by itself, or roberto whose main thing is sunlight rather than plasma, but he can keep himself warm through expending some energy on subtler, more refined control of his energy manipulation.

plasma in itself isn't necessarily hot, but he draws his energy from sunlight or "cosmic energy" and metabolizes it, so most of the time his blasts are hot, which makes his temperature shift towards what would be feverish for normal people.

he gets beyond that when he is losing control of his powers, though, and it can be scary to touch him when he's like that. it's why his containment suit is useful; it helps him redirect the heat and stops him from accidental plasma discharges.

his temperature can shift drastically because of his energy manipulation and how it interacts with his metabolism, but most of the time he runs pretty damn hot in comparison to other people.

promise i WILL be back 2 actual drafts after my hiatus is done.

as it is tho, i am just gonna write what my brain is tickled for in the small little in-between breaks. </3

「 LINGER 」 : for senders touch to linger on the receiver. Bobby for Alex

ROBERT DRAKE DOESN'T LIKE HIM.

it's an universal truth, just like he is the second best at everything he does, and that most people believe his chosen name as part of the x-men has always been an omen. the years they spent bickering and fighting over almost everything, from small wording choices to actual love interests, should have made that much clear. perhaps the years also could change hate into mild understanding, but he has never really thought that whatever they had could lead to this.

this being the hand he feels on his back, running down lower to the small of it. even through his containment suit, he can feel the chill of his touch, maybe because he is a touch hyperaware and maybe because his body temperature is the precise opposite of drake's. his mutation and how he absorbs and metabolizes energy makes him run hot, which quite obviously is the opposite when it comes to guy aptly named iceman.

he takes a deep breath as he grips the steering device of the ship a little tighter. considering the kissing and the arguing and the undeniable tension between them as they have tried to make their way back to their own solar system, he knows what this means. it still leaves him flabbergasted enough his only eloquent reply as he drives them through the immense void ahead is---

"no one ever told you not to distract with your designated driver, bobby?"

(it would be a good quip, if there had been anything within sight for him to crash, or if he couldn't just leave the shitty autopilot of this stolen vessel to do the work; they don't need his eyes or expertise right now, not when there's barely anything worth dodging within sight.

still, hey. he tried.)
