man i haven't been on tumblr for so long i forgot how this goes, but uhhh here ig??
18+ only, s'il-vous-plaît
i realise this won't stop any minors who really want to be here, but a) please, b) you'll be blocked if i find out or suspect you're underage, and c) if you really want to see sex-related stuff then you should be learning about safe and consensual sex and, let me tell you, DoL and its fandom ain't the place for it my dude
and with that out of the way
hi! i'm cyra, you may use any pronouns but she/her usually works!
i am in my mid-20's, a funny little tidbit that surprises me everytime i remember
artist, despite what my shitty lighting and shading skills may tell you
sometimes, SOMETIMES, i also write
(psst if you want to see anything in particular relating to those things, feel free to send requests, ask box is open)
i am. terrible. TERRIBLE. at DMs. if you send me a message and i never reply or even read (does tumblr give read receipts?), know that it is not about you personally! i just get crazy anxious about text messages in general, so if you want to talk to me please send an ask or tag me in a post instead :) i understand it isn't the same (which is why i prefer it lmao) but it has a much, MUCH higher chance of being seen and replied to!
gdi i keep editing this post and adding shit to it but! i typically only tag characters and my stuff, but if you want me to start tagging specific topics/triggers then all you gotta do is ask me to and i will :)
welcome to my DoL blog! i can also be found on reddit with the same username as here :)
for the curious, info about my PCs are under the cut!
••••••••••••••••
Arden, my main PC. Genderfluid, but she/her is what she uses the most out of convenience. Official sources of income are her dates with Avery and modelling for Niki, but most nights there's also a shadowed figure breaking into Danube street mansions—oh, you've seen it? No, you haven't—and on Fridays you might see a masked figure go into the brothel for a weekly private show. Love interest is Avery, though both have the mindset that theirs is mostly a transactional relationship. Arden's also down bad for Wren, but for now it seems to be unrequited.
Monroe, my baby secondary PC. Herm/intersex, but although he does occasionally dabble in crossdressing for work, he goes exclusively by he/him and masculine terms. Sex worker, and pretty sought-after, too—Briar would lose quite a lot of money if Monroe stopped showing up one day. Unfortunately, it's come at the cost of his reputation, something he's already being blackmailed for. Love interests are Sydney and Whitney, though both relationships are something Monroe entered into extremely reluctantly given his current circumstances (and also because Whitney is... Whitney).
Adeline, my "forsake civilisation, return to nature" PC lmao. Cis woman with the wolf transformation, which she definitely did not get through the mushroom route. Plantpeople enthusiast, but her true love will always be the wolf pack and its leader. She did get kidnapped by Eden once after she got lost in the woods during a hunt and, while she escaped, sometimes Addie finds herself thinking about the hunter with curiosity—after all, didn't she also fight the Black Wolf at first before knowing better? Maybe the hunter isn't so bad either. Probably the only one of my PCs who'll become a parent.
Vincent, my final PC (for now?). Cis man with a huge everything—huge heart, huge muscles, huge... dick. Gentle giant, it's a wonder he ever escaped Remy's farm—probably an accident tbh, must have fallen into the river or something because this man was as well-behaved as they come. Nowadays his mind is pretty much healed from whatever weird trance he'd been in back then, but despite how happy he is with Alex and the farm, sometimes he remembers his days at Remy's with longing—Vince doesn't let himself wonder if it's the place or its owner that he misses, though.
All my PCs are in their 20's, btw! They also all exist at the same time, maybe one day I'll make a post with all their connections to each other and other NPCs :) It'll be... a mess lmao
Alex who gets scared shitless when a bird person rips their help wanted sign right off, pointing at it, then themselves, wings fluttering
Alex screams and then tells them to go away in a totally brave way that makes PC try not to laugh
PC just keeps coming back and working on the farm, hiding their wings and tail feathers, holding out their hand for cash at the end of the day. they're good with animals, one screech has the pigs in order to be fed, and keeps the horses from running, but Alex has to tell them to tone it down so the animals don't start shitting themselves when they walk by
their good eyesight comes in handy when Remy's goons are lurking around, and Alex let's them screech at those fuckers all they want, laughing their ass off each time they run off
PC talking to Alex during breaks, voice scratchy bc they're not used to actually speaking more than one word. they talk about the town, and Alex asks if they've been there. "I use to live there." no further explanation.
in the distance there's a hawk screeching and Alex just freezes, bc The Hawk never comes this close to the farms, and watches PC run and hop over the fence and into the moor before coming back a half an hour later covered in feathers and giddy.
a lurker pops up and Alex watches as PC just chomps down on it before getting back to work. Alex is very afraid. but for other reasons that dont involve the image of PC chomping on lurkers. some rando bird person with relations to the The Great Hawk is nothing to bat an eye to, who knows, maybe theyre just as terrifying. cue PC playing with the dogs
so, it rains one day, PC's clothes get wet, and when giving them a towel Alex notices how they're clothes aren't really... good. ripped in some places and dirty as fuck, so they give PC one of they're own shirts and pants, can't have them using their feathers to hide themselves, yknow, Remy might see. they look good in Alex's clothes..
Sucks bc all of their advances are turned down, or at least, PC doesn't let them get too far. "I have a Spouse." "You're married?! To who??" cue hawk screeching in the background.
they keep their hands to themselves, but still offer a drink
PC comes to the farm one day and just looks at the road during their breaks, holding a black box in their hand. Alex watches them put the box in the middle of the road, and an hour later, a car tire smooshes it when passing by. they're a lot happier the rest of the day
Alex keeps one of their feathers, from when PC taught them how to preen, and keeps it in their room all the time, takes it out on the days PC doesn't come and puts it in their pocket
as the fields clear, Remy comes, and PC isnt kind. Alex isn't sure what they're doing, but it's spooking Remy's horse and making it try to turn away. once, things got a little too rough, one of the goons on top of PC, and one screech later a large shadow was over the farm, and the goons left, PC too, Great Hawk came down and swooped them into their arms once Remy was out of sight, flying into the moor. PC didn't come back a week later. "They were really worried."
Alex feels as if they're not allowed to be jealous, because they're too busy being afraid. Yeah, they're a little bit smitten with PC, but if they do anything its only a matter of time before Great Hawk swoops down and pecks them to death. sadly, they'll have to settle for preening during breaks, listening to PC sing, rough housing ect. it doesn't help that PC's touches linger, or that they look at Alex with soft eyes. when offered to stay in the cottage, they make a beeline for Alex's bed when work is over, talking about how they're not use to sleeping alone, and Alex takes it, they'll take anything they can get.
I remain beyond weak for Ivory Wraith... Seriously praying they become a full on love interest... I'm constantly impatient for the next blood moon just so I can smooch 'em 😩
Fun fact.. I started this drawing way back in February and all in all drawing time is beyond 24 hours!! 21 of which being just drawing my PC and IW... 🥲
I decided it probably wasn't gonna get much better than this point so I hope you guys like it! 👀💕💕💕✨
Here's also the one without background and lighting~
the avery fic is FINALLY posted on AO3 (anonymously bc i couldn't be bothered to make another acc for dol), man i forgot how much of a pain the tagging system is if you don't use tags already in the system
Desolate. Disappear. Drown. We'll come back to find you.
I've been working on this for over a month, and I'm still not happy with it so you know what? I'll post it anyway and maybe one day once I'm better att coloring and lighting and shading, I'll redo it the way I wish it had been ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Overlay-less version with numbers to mark everything under the read more, in case you want to try guessing which hand belongs to whom and promise to pretty please ignore where I gave up on shading
To give a hint, the characters whose hands I've included are Avery, Whitney, the Wraith (though I suspect that one is easy lmao), Bailey, Kylar, Briar, Wren, Sydney, Alex, Robin, Harper, Leighton, Remy, Eden, Black Wolf and Great Hawk (both of which should also be easy lmao). Yes. That's 16 different characters. 17 hands, not counting the PC's. Have at it lmao
Seriously, if you get them all at first guess, I'll literally doodle your PC or someone else you want. I desperately need to draw something low-key after working on this for so long.
Anyway someone on Reddit got a whole 13 out of 16 correct, so I'm in the process of drawing the Wraith for them as a congratulatory gift but in the meanwhile! Lo, the answer to my riddle!
1. Guess. (It's the Wraith)
2. Robin, who nicked themself while chopping up lemons for the weekend 💔
3. Whitney, as one might be able to tell from their busted-ass knuckles lmao
4. Kylar!! It's hard to see but I tried to make their ring and pinky fingers sorta curl into the PC's cheek in a possessive/desperate grip 🥰
5. Harper. Bastard (affectionate) pretends to be all warm and welcoming but see what happens when you take that outstretched hand, I dare you
6. Leighton, whose hand I did my best to make as creepy as possible to reflect its owner (affectionate again) lmao
7. Avery, twirling your hair for now but ready to pull it if you piss them off, and with the tiiiiiniest lil hc in the form of a faded mark from a wedding band for the sharp-eyed 👀 How recent is that, I wonder? 👀
8. Bailey, whom I bet would have been more obvious (uh besides the grip on PC's neck which I genuinely thought would be obvious enough) if I'd included their popularly hc'd tattoos. If only I could settle on a design :')
9. Alex, if you recognised it as a farmer's hand then I thank you and love you ❤❤❤
10. Take another guess. (Great Hawk my beloved)
11. Guess one last time. (Black Wolf my beloved ×10)
12. Sydney, whose touch is nothing but gentle 🥺 Soft gang (together with Robin and Alex ❤)
13. Wren! I'll admit this isn't the easiest one to guess, the paper cuts from playing cards are very subtle. Despite popular rumour, the titty grab has nothing to do with milk 😭
14. Remy, whom I thought would be SO obvious bc glove but alas, defeated by the Reddit tiddy milk theory :')
15. Eden 🥰 Big, strong, scarred hand that's about ready to drag you back to the woods?? Who else??
16. Briar, whose rings and purple suit expectedly were a dead giveaway that it was a pimp's hand lmao (Shout-out to one person who thought it was Avery though, that was... something. How do you picture Avery??)
Helping Leighton do up his cufflinks, your tongue sticking out a bit and he just watches you with a smirk. Every time after sex, he just puts the little fiddly bits of metal in the palm of your hand so you can help him with them. In your uniform, the headmaster just watches you before taking over, zipping up garments but taking your tie. Slowly but methodically knotting the fabric, telling you to stop fidgeting as he finally finishes up, before tugging you forward but the knot, nipping your bottom lip in a slow kiss.
Bailey on the phone with one of his contacts that called him during sex, with you quietly getting dressed, cum dribbling down your sides, but just pausing after tugging on your shirt, leaving it unbuttoned. Instead you kneel down, properly tugging up your caretaker's slacks, tucking his cock back into his boxers, zipping them before tightening his belt. Buttoning up his shirt while he gets into the details of selling one of his orphans. Rerolling up his dress shirt sleeves up to his elbows. Even putting his rings back on his fingers. Bailey just watches you through half lidded eyes, up until you leave, holding your own jeans, still in one of his stolen shirts.
Darryl blushing as you both do each others shirts up, rumpled from the dancing the two of you did all night. Just in your underwear and shirts, getting dressed enough to answer the knocking at the door for the delivery he ordered in. Trotting to the front door, with you clinging to the small of his shirt, practically hiding behind him as he stutters, aware of his bare legs as he fumbles with the food. Later, you help him with his bracelet, the pulse in his wrist picking up as you delicately clip it on.
After the game, Wren prefers you to stay in his room than go right away. It allows you to admire him in the morning, nude since he made you sleep in his own pajamas, which was just sweatpants anyway. He grinned at your bare chest before snuggling against you, soft cock twitching with interest. Wren loves to watch you hunt for your clothes but today he sits up and makes you sit in his lap, humming softly. He loops a fine chain necklace around your throat, lifted from the neck of a lady at the riding school. He fiddles with the clasp, cursing softly before finally clipping it together. Running his finger along the nape your neck before kissing it and releasing you to finally get dressed.
In light of recent news, here’s something I want to tell minors who interact with adult blogs:
We’re not telling you to stay in your lanes because we think you’re “too innocent” (I used to have sexual fantasies when I was your age so I understand, believe me), we’re telling you to not interact with us because if your parents find out you’ve been talking inappropriately with an adult, we could get in serious legal trouble, such as being accused of grooming.
The last thing I want is the fbi kicking down my door all because I unknowingly talked to a kid about wanting to get rawdogged by Dabi.
Please respect our boundaries because if you don’t, we will block and report you.
Soooo... Are we gonna talk about Sirris being embarrassed by seeing the PC naked but not anyone else? 👀
Their reaction to the PC, as opposed to the screenshot below where they have zero problem asking this poor girl to strip 👀
What's up with that, Sirris? 👀
(Psst!!! Notice how they also first glance at the PC before asking the other student!!! Did they have an internal debate about who they actually want to ask? 👀)
If I'm not reading too much into this and Sirris really is attracted to the PC, this opens up so many fun headcanons about what Sirris is like in bed?? Like, I always thought of them as pretty unflappable and shameless, but what if that's just when talking about sex in theory, or with someone they're not attracted to?? Will they blush if you (PC, who they genuinely seem attracted to from these screenshots) flirt with them??
I think I always pictured them as probably this really chill dom-leaning switch who's absolutely gonna tease you by being all scientific when exploring your body, but what if they're a sub??? Sirris the cool sex ed teacher who cheerfully lectures about sex with their students and doesn't bat an eyelid when people hit on them at the shop, but turns into a blushing mess when you so much as imply the possibility of you two doing the horizontal tango??
