ART IS EVERYWHERE!

[c4garuda]

𝐂𝟒𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐀 - independent, unaffiliated, and mutuals only rp/writing account involving original fantastical demonic and supernatural lore and characters (with some roots in real-world mythologies) as well as the naruto character deidara. 18+ only, personals (please) dni

penned by albedo, any, 23, this blog will contain tagged NSFW and BLOOD/GORE as well as RELIGIOUS THEMES

---------

disclaimers:

important information located here

this blog is a sideblog to @peperjwaala (where the general rules are, so please look!), so i do not have the ability to send in asks directly from this account. i have a smooth brain and too many things make the small smooth brain hurt. main rules and things are over there.

for everyone else:

here are the fellas! anyways.

I won't be doing any sort of suggestive/ship content with the characters prantika (due to her physically being a child), akira (a teenager, but does have a timeline where he's an adult), and cort (idk i honestly don't want to ship him), and no shipping content for dana or ryuu (because dana and ryuu are married). rest are fair game within reason, with the usual rules about shipping and nsfw content (no weird shit).

while a lot of the characters are based off of my own fantastical silly lore, there are religious themes, heads up.

for deidara:

this character--well, we all know what this guy did. he's a nutter. do not attempt to do what he has done in real life, please. while i write him with more depth than what was given in canon, as well as giving him a headcanoned backstory, deidara is still a cruel person who delights in destruction and only has vague manners because of sasori. he's violent, unpredictable, and overall a menace to society, and i am shaking him like a maraca.

i'm semi-active on here--i have two other blogs that i rp frequently on. additionally, i have work n family things, so i might get very busy.

there are five main verses that i intend to explore with him (and another possible fella) outside of a non-au: genshin impact au, somehow this guy survives au, lol/steampunk fantasy au, good au, a burgeoning fantasy au, modern au. information here.

i won't be doing any nsfw content with him--the most i will do with him is a fade-to-black scenario.

niraj hadn't been to mondstat in a while--he's spent so much time in his homeland sumeru and more recently nod-krai, witnessing with his fortune knuckles and his tea and occasionally having to run from the wild hunt or some angry treasure hoarders who didn't appreciate his existence like someone's set his poor tail on fire, that the sort of gentle peace that came with arriving at the nation of freedom felt just as good as diving into a cool lake on a blisteringly hot summer day.

now, as for why he's here? a funny sort of invitation from miss alice, suggesting he come and attend a grand ball being hosted by the knights of favonius for the returning expedition party, some international visitors, and the people of the city, citing 'i know you love to dress up so!' her proper attendance was not guaranteed, but that's fine with niraj, as there are lots of other interesting people and things scattered about the nation. plus, alice had insisted niraj show more of his 'nifty little gadgets' to some of the knights during his visit, taking great care to mention her darling little gremlin daughter klee in that particular section. as niraj thinks klee is hilarious (and he's got the attention of one of the vice captains who reminds him of a very feisty cat), attending was a no-brainer.

he'd flitted around the room for a bit, chatting with this-and-that, answering questions about his feline heritage (no, he's not related to the little tavern cat) and the sparkling femininity of his outfit (pink just so happens to be his best color, and the salvar kameez was an outfit he's been raring for an occasion to wear), before his eyes decided to alight themselves on a younger blonde woman with a straight back and a gaze as clear as cider lake.

of course niraj recognizes the acting grand master of the knights, the one he's heard so much about (all painting quite a flattering picture of a good-hearted, hard-working woman who could really use a vacation, especially with dealing with the chaos that is klee and the fatui taking a near-perma residence in the city), and he figures hey, i should go offer her a dance, because that's the polite thing to do when meeting someone new at a ball, right?

"ah, well, you'll have to pardon me, as i'm not very familiar with certain styles of dances--i am always willing to learn, however, if you would be willing to be a teacher." magenta-brown eyes are warm and comforting, with a twinkle of youthful energy despite his age. "of course, i promise not to step on your toes, lady dandelion knight." dancing, while fun, was not something niraj put much effort into, as he's quite (as the kids put it) a bookworm, preferring the company of a good book than a dancing partner more often than not.

a niraj and an akira (made with picrew)

[c4garuda]

niraj and lohen are friendly i think purely because it's funny. niraj thinks lohen is a silly little guy and lohen just wants niraj to actually fight him (he's gonna make that catboy throw his back out).

(bedo notes: the main reason lohen is interested in fighting niraj is his artillery inventions and also his decently powerful magic/vision uses. niraj just thinks lohen's adorable in the way someone thinks a very spicy cat is)

where are y'all (and y'all's muses) sitting (stolen from @incertion)

me, personally, i'm choosing six bc while dana and ryuu are a gross middle aged couple, i think that they at least know some plane etiquette and would leave me be (or we could have a nice convo and ryuu infodumps for four hours straight). lacey is lovely but they don't tend to smell great, hiba is the type to get severe plane anxiety, and kosume is the worst of all time you could not pay me to sit with them.

[c4garuda]

anyways. nirajposting. one of his guns has a sticker on it that says THIS MACHINE KNEECAPS FASCISTS and you know what. good for him. based as hell. give him food.

Weekend activities

[c4garuda]

some misc. outfits for the guys (made with picrew)

an outfit cordelia would usually wear, something kinda funky for pran, a cozy for niraj, and a mystery lady for rya!

[c4garuda]

some of the aus for the fellas (made on picrew)

notes:

deity ryuu: essentially, he is viewed as a god and not just an odd guy, and he met dana when someone tried to sacrifice him to him. still a weird quasi-benevolent guy, but is viewed in a more reverent light.

naruto mei: mei's original verse! born in suna, lost his legs in a shukaku-incident. similar age range to sand sibs. casual puppetmaster.

zzz rosemary: victoria housekeeping member, an undead with some witchy vibes but no one really knows where she came from. very good at her job, however.

mer hiba: everything's the same but hiba's a full on merman. vibing to the best of his ability.

happy pride month! here are some more gender/sexuality hcs for the guys:

ryuu: homosexual, but literally the only person he's ever been attracted to is dana, so he doesn't have a good sampling size for that, and genderfluid (but tends to present more masc).

dana: bisexual, strongly leaning towards men. transgender ftm.

niraj: demiromantic and bisexual, cis male.

lacey: pansexual and genderfluid (presents nb most of the time).

cordelia: doesn't have the time to think about it because of the curse, but is bisexual and cis female.

imma write a freaky aah kosume piece for this charity zine thingy i hope they accept it

[c4garuda]

lacey is actually an extremely powerful being, able to create and destroy grand things with ease, but the curse severely nerfs them to the point where even their inherent abilities are hard to master. the curse kind of fucks up everything for them--eating, breathing, helping people out, relationships (the smell), sex (it is very unsexy when your partner's hand degloves itself), and a hell of a lot of other things.
