⁽ ⭑ ⁾ BASIC DNI CRITERIA. don't be a freak, don't follow if under 21; if you write frequent sexual content, if you write real or historical muses, if you whitewash characters. dni esp if you have the gross tendency to ignore wlw in media and have a weird fetish for mlm ships. there is definitely a difference and i can tell when people are being weird and simply performing a love for women/wlw in media.
⁽ ³ ⁾ REGARDING EXPLICIT CONTENT. triggering content will be featured on this blog but won't always be tagged as per the nature of the story this character originates from. please be warned for death, crimes including murder, suicide and suicidal ideation, gore. i will trigger warn whatever i think goes over the line of basic exploration. if you're uncomfortable with my choice not to always tag this content, you're welcome to unfollow. i do not write explicit sexual content, but things may be alluded to. not explicit but relevant: i do not use honorifics in my replies, as the characters are speaking their native language unless otherwise stated.
⁽ ⁴ ⁾ REGARDING SHIPPING. shipping is not my main priority on this blog. that being said, romantic dynamics can and will be explored, but are subject to plotting.
⁽ ⁵ ⁾ REGARDING HOUYI + CHARACTERISATION. houyi is not a morally good or bad character and is an exploration on control and surrender of human nature. he is an experiment born from a lab and has certain thoughts and ideals that will not align with my personal beliefs. most of all, he is a corrupt and greedy character and does not adhere to typical morality. please be aware of this.
as im standing around waiting something interesting about houyi which is also equally just as devastating is that his creator is, biologically, his own mother. alexa play gilded lily by cults ... havent i given enough ?????
⟢ “ on the contrary, fine dining has less eyes. or just — ” nose wrinkled, jade hues flickering towards the patrons of the run - down, haughty excuse of a restaurant. “ less uglier ones. ” she caught the gaze of a drunken man, drool accumulating from the corner of his mouth in a slight shine of vomit green, skin a sickly pale yellow, sunken eyes and an expression that screamed desperate for something or someone to wet his dick with. she grimaced. it should have brought some comfort her to know that these creatures never changed with time but it only irked her, fueled her own never - ending hunger of yet another slaughter.
pearl - shaded silks, form fitting and trimmed with a deep red on the edges, flowers strategically patterned at the edges, the neck of her collar — overdressed, a glowing blossom within a crowd of rot and decay, a lily of the valley in the dark. it was centuries to curate an aura as such, hiding the poisonous thorns beneath, her own corrosion glamorized and finely hidden. slender digits twirled the tips of the wooden chopstick, flicking small spurts of sesame oil in houyi's direction. “ save your apologies for things i do not expect out of you. disappointment is your second nature. ” and so she plopped an entire steamed dumpling in her mouth, scathing hot from the plate. she would hide her reluctant enjoyment of the flavors, indifference staining her features. “ the thing that you do with your face — ” point from the utensil, another flick of sauce towards his countenance, this time landing directly on his chin. “ you're not subtle at all. blending 101, and you're terrible at it. ” / @jianshou
sights and smells of the less indulgent calibre, houyi could bear it for the sake of their assignment, here. his only regrettable decision thus far having been the action of asking for daiyu's assistance, a deadly choice that in its wake left him bearing the full weight of self - contrition, internally pounding his head against the nearest hard surface, thinking of the enjoyment of allowing himself a swift death to escape her presence. his resolution prior to their partnership having been to explore patience as a virtue, no longer relevant. a fool's hope, as houyi now saw it. “ no. ” reiteration of his point. “ here poses no risk of recognition. put you in a lavish hall and everyone would be fawning over you. at least here they're leering from a distance. ” words spoken with an annoyed finality, intent to say, stop questioning me.
the look fixed to her form incredulous to the contrary nature of her words, features slack, unimpressed. yet celadons blinking as drops continued to hit his face, jaw clenching with the mild loss of patience already not so easily won. “ will you— ... give me that. ” words a hiss, hand reaching to snatch the utensils from her hands and hold them in his fist, free digits coming to wipe oil from his chin with a roll of his shoulders, irritated. both of them holding the chopsticks between them in their squabble. a wave of a free finger to her form, rich silks adorning her silhouette like a second - skin and so far from the expectance for an area such as this. sneer sitting upon his features, expression twisted into mocking. “ you're lecturing me on subtlety ? ” head cocked, fine brow arched with the question and shoulders hunching, shake of his head with a kiss of his teeth. “ like i'd take lessons from you. ” releasing his hold on the chopsticks and slumping back into his seat, petulantly picking up a piece of meat and chewing on it whilst surveying the room and hoping their liaison would soon show face, allow him to escape such hell. sulking, avoiding the bait so clearly laid out for him ... until he could no longer. turning his head to her, agate hues meeting her gaze with a probing indignation. “ what thing with my face ? it's perfect. i have a perfect face, you don't know what you're talking about. ”
massive inspirations for houyi's character come from things like blade runner (orig + 2049 and more specifically roy batty and agent k), the witch part 1 - subversion (loosely nobleman but more specifically fixated on the group of genetically modified beings), maze runner (more specifically the notoriety the experiments in the novel garnered via the public and how well known the subjects were), my own personal interpretations on stormbringer + verlaine, elysium, annihilation, ex machina, and the movie extinction :p
a. a broken mirror. you are the rebel. you are the one who refused to fit into the box. they broke you because you refused to conform, but they never expected you to turn your shattered pieces into sharp edges aimed for their throats. they will face your pointed fragments and see their own reflection in your ruin. you are a reckoning. you are the threat of a future unsuited for weak minds. how unfortunate it is that your existence is solitary. that you cut everyone who comes close. maybe one day someone will show you how to be something besides a weapon. maybe one day they will help you put your pieces back together to see yourself as a person instead of a cause for once.

a crash course on singularity holders in bsd just for those who might be confused: singularities occur when two conflicting or similar abilities clash/are melded together and become the singularity ie. the singularity beasts arahabaki, guivre (and feilian). the true experiment has never been fully revealed but its thought that scientists globally trying to implement singularities have used a LABORATORY - MADE SPECIAL ABILITY and the HOST/ORIGINAL BODY'S SPECIAL ABILITY. whatever that means is still unknown, but the likelihood for a character like houyi is that his original body's special ability was not weapons materialisation but something else that clashed with the artificial special ability and split into the singularity beast feilian & the corresponding special ability, weapons materialisation. the same respectively for paul verlaine and chuuya nakahara. singularity holders are weapons of mass destruction and have multiple uses, existing as a contradiction to the laws of nature. you're essentially taking power and multiplying it by a trillionth and then again by another trillionth until you reach the maximum output which then creates the singularity. the clones are designed with coding able to withstand (to a degree, this is why their bodies are damaged when in the base status of the singularity beasts) the output of said singularity and act as gatekeepers of power capable of world - wide destruction. referenced in stormbringer, without the singularity the hosts will die unless (like verlaine) they are given another source of power.
