Day #12 Hurt/Comfort
(Ft. Dimitri x Ama x Lorelei)
-------
"I shouldn't have brought you here. I shouldn't have put you in harm's way. I shouldn't have let you get close. I'm not a hero, Ama.. I'm just…"
Despite Dimitri's protests, she gently touched his cheek. Her thumb idly traced the gauze across his wrist as she leaned her head against him. It's only been less than a year since Ama's arrival in Hearthinia. There was a goblin attack on the town. Not much, but enough to scare him. She held him close.
"You're not going to lose me." she promised.
"I…" he trailed off and sighed, pressing back into her touch. "I.. I can't live with myself if you got hurt…"
"Dimitri Mellabamith.. you are not going to lose me. I still love you."
------
So back before the end of Dimitri's campaign, I started an rp with some friends. Long story short is that Dimitri had been invited to another world for vampires only, and from there had met and fallen in love with a young woman named Amadora, and she had agreed to leave her world behind and travel with him to Hearthinia.
Things are a little.. rocky at first. Dimitri still struggles with depression, with letting go of what happened to his first wife. He fears anything happening to Ama, and is quick and ready to blame himself if things go wrong.
But Ama is a patient woman who sees him through all his low days. Always ready to reassure him that she did, indeed, want this, and she does, indeed, love him, and that Lorelei would want him to be happy too. She'd want him to thrive and live his life to its fullest.
"We're supposed to be watching the stars, you dummy." Silver giggled.
"I'm paying attention.." Thor hummed softly
"Hmph. Paying attention to my ear, more like it." she scoffed, her ear twitching out of the way of his warm breath.
"Your tail's wagging~"
"Shuddup!"
Day #10 - Kissing and Making Out
(Ft. Catna x Tasmus)
----
Back in the early days of Hearthinia.
Catna and Tasmus sitting in one of their son's gardens, enjoying another beautiful sunset... The flowers springing up around them, urged on by the very presence of Creation and Fertility.
What beautiful things they used to make together... so long ago..
I hadn't forgotten! I just got slammed with IRL real freaking hard. X_X Between getting sick and helping family that was sick and trying to do some file work and augh.. But I've still got a few of these prompts done during it all and I'm gonna finish this project. And since these are thematically reflective, I'll share them together.
Day #07 and 08 - Day Dates and Night Dates
(Ft. Valentino and Sylvana)
(character talk under the cut)
Valentino and Sylvana are two creation deities of Valentine Hall- a small pocket world floating about the space between worlds. (Aka, the Void)
However there isn't enough energy to sustain their small world, and so they travel from world to world, seeking volunteers and participants. Their world, and they themselves, run on a very unique energy source produced by feelings of love and affection. So they invite people from all over to come to Valentine Hall and participate in helping them fuel up! In return they offer a leisurely vacation; a break from Home World so they could interact, mingle, and get to know their cosmic neighbors in a safe and clean environment.
In a more meta sense, they oversee a large sandbox for all my little blorbos to interact and mingle in. XD
Valentino and Sylvana themselves are Love Gods, in a sense. They feed on love as well as happily give it. They love the concept of Love in all its shapes and forms, and seek healthy respectful relationships between people, and will intervene at a moment's notice should things turn south for their guests.
Valentino is a gentleman who prefers the more thoughtful laid out aspects of the dating world. Dinner dates, playlists, balls, long walks, and emotional security are all his cup of tea.
Sylvana is much the opposite. Boisterous, flirty, emotional. She thrives on spontaneity and is always the life of the party. Day dates are her cuppa with picnics in the garden, sun bathing on the beach, parties, you name it she loves it, as long as there's heart in it.
I was gonna do A Thing as a part two to the last post, but tumblr apparently didn't like that. So fuck it. Enjoy the background. I lost a whole saturday to working on this set piece and I'm very proud of it.
For context: it's the royal chambers of Castle Roselake. Maybe not *quite* to the specifications in my head, but as close as I could get on hero forge. That would be the Balludson Crest hanging above the bed, along with Aldrich Balludson's twin bastard swords hanging beside it. And Evangeline's vanity on the other side. The double doors also do *not* lead to a walk-in closet, but an entire balcony that I am glad I did not try to force in... yet.
And if you're thinking, "Hey Katz, that's a *lot* of red in one room". Yes. Yes it is.
It was surreal to be back in that hall… Watching them dance across the marbled floor. The hushed chatter as dozens of vampires go about, enjoying themselves.
Dimitri had grown up in this castle his entire life and nothing has changed at all. Yet it felt so foreign to be among the guests, hiding among the faceless crowd… Especially with.. her…
During his time living among the dragons, Dimitri held himself very carefully and cautious. Always afraid to say or do the wrong thing. A life of abuse had made him a man who always second-guessed his actions. But now… Now Lydia was surprised to find him quite in his element.
Dragons weren't particularly known for their dances. Even for a goddess like herself. They were much too large and needed too much space to move so elegantly. Yet Dimitri practically carried her across the floor, effortless and confident. The sway of their bodies smooth and controlled, yet totally relaxed. And all the while he gave her that same warm gentle smile. That smile that scratched the hording instinct in her, wanting to pull him in close and never let go…
"I feel ridiculous." she admitted with a small chuckle.
"You keep saying that but.. you're still beautiful as you always have been." he shrugged.
It was just a casual comment. He wasn't lying. He wasn't exaggerating. He was being honest but… something… shifted. No… something had been shifting between them for a while. And he didn't notice it… Or maybe he was just trying to ignore it. Because suddenly she's reaching down and kissing him, and it sparks something in Dimitri that he hadn't felt in a long, long, long time…
He couldn't trust himself with a mortal. For over a millennia, the God of Fertility had kept check of himself. Kept those pesky instincts at bay. He was responsible, respectable, and reasonable. Not just some mindless fucking machine… Not some wild rampant beast who could lose himself to insatiable ruts for stars know how long.
And yet slowly she chipped away at him. His defenses. His reasons. By the stars was he a fool for allowing a succubus to approach him? To listen to her honeyed words and watch her practiced dances? Was he really so weak to crumble before her?
Or… just maybe… there was a sincerity hiding in this? Was it foolish of her to hold him so high? To dare say she believed he was more than he feared? Was it possible the damned could have faith?
Who could say… But perhaps it was something worth exploring… together.
Day #04 - Holding hands!
Ft. Daniel and Delphinium
---
Day late and a dollar short. Building up a background is never easy.. @_@ But that aside Here's a cute if not somewhat clueless adventurer and his clingy if not somewhat possessive fairy wifegirlfriend. ^^
No real story built around these two yet. They're still relatively new in the Blorbo Community, but I liked the concept of them just the same. :3
I hadn't forgotten. Just been fighting chores. OTL Lol. Anyways. Little bit of a left-field. Just a cute couple of dwarves from an rp with me and my friends called Dusk and Dawn.
This is Peter and Astrid Heinrich. A couple of adventurous dwarves who wanted to make a new life for themselves, and their daughter Jessica, above ground, helping people around the Capital. Happily married for several decades, but to them it's like the honeymoon's never ended. <3
Forge-uary Day #02! Blushing/Crushes
(ft. Dimitri x Scarlet)
----
Dimitri thought the job should be simple. Scarlet was only a little roughed up after her encounter with Jamison Trent. And then she asked him something that gave him pause.
"Why help me?"
"…Excuse me?"
"It's just… I did hurt you. And your team… That's why you left me chained up… Why help me now?"
"Well…" he thought for a moment of how best to answer. Mostly he was doing this because Team Monster asked him to, and their leader was on good terms with Elysia... But that felt a little too.. rude... So instead he smiled. "Part of the downside of being a doctor is a short-term memory loss. It's hard to hold grudges when you see someone in need…"
She smiled a little… And then he heard it. Her heart fluttering.
That infectious sort of fluttering that could only mean one thing. Scarlet seemed to then remember Dimitri's vampiric hearing and tried to play it off. She turned her head away, immediately all huffy and indignant. Muttering something about how silly that was of him.
Dimitri winced.. He hoped she wasn't developing a crush on him. A widower like him?? For someone as gorgeous as she was?? No.. No no.. No, surely, he must've misheard? Surely it was just a passing moment. A.. moment of comradery or… s-something….
Don't have a name for her (yet), but I'm really happy with this design! I wasn't sure at first how heart-core I could make something but I think it turned out pretty good. ^_^ <3
Every year I like to challenge myself to be creative for the entire month of February and this year I'm doing it all in HF! But if anyone else wants to join with their own creations, feel free to follow along!
Nothing to look at under the cut, if you're under 18. Keep scrolling.
If you're still here, here you go! Enjoy a crackship (Malanx Sage) at the hot springs. <3
For context:
Malan is a young woman from my story Whatever it Takes. She's from a futuristic cityscape and has been through hell in recent years. What's worse is she is both gifted and cursed with the super power to remember everything in perfect clarity. Memories of her tragic life losing her family to a war and struggling to fight in that war herself for over 10 years, often bounce about in her head, and it gets to be quite maddening at times. She's a kind woman who's heart bleeds strongly and is willing to sacrifice everything she is for those she cares about.
Sage is a hippie from Moonshiners, and the world of Hearthinia. He's the first of the green dragons, and the fifth child of Lydia, the goddess of dragons. He's a very laid back very kind and gentle soul, who has unfortunately also been plagued by the horrors of war between dragons and giants. Having worked recon for so long, there's a lot of things he wishes he could forget as well.
In Valentine Hall (my ooc playground for all ocs), the two find themselves with a lot of things in common, and soon find a kindling and connection in their solidarity. Malan finds herself in the deep end, unsure of how well she could connect intimately with others after everything she's been through. But Sage is a patient and gentle man, and he's willing to help walk her through History's oldest dance, one step at a time. <3
Stella and Utar try to keep their business and personal lives separate. Emphasis on try. XD;; But when everyone's already clocked out and gone home... where's the harm in a little fun? ;3
Unlit pictures under the cut cause I went crazy on the set again but you can't see it in the final photos. XD;;
"I.. think I'm a little overdressed.." Stella fidgeted with a few of her feathers.
"Nah. You look fine. Besides, who cares?" Malan reassured her with a confident smile.
"Seriously! Night's young. Knock back a few drinks and just have fun." Dimitri encouraged.
"Heh.. I'll try..." the owlfolk nodded and looked out across the dance floor. "...think anyone's willing to dance?"
"Couldn't hurt to ask I guess?" Malan shrugged and brushed back her green bangs. "Think I'm just gonna vibe with the old man here and enjoy the music. Sorry."
"Hey!" Dimitri laughed. "I'm not that old! I'm only 300!"
----
Nothing really to this. Just a fun little doodle of my protagonists at a party. :3
It's funny because usually Stella's pretty easy about dressing up and Malan usually hates it but for once the opposite was true. XD
"Vampiric courtship is... difficult to explain. Couples will often engage in some playful fight with one another. Think of it like a cuteness aggression, but with claws... and blades... and the object of affection often fights back just as aggressively.
And when you get the most powerful wizard of the Omnesaj clan pitted against the strongest warrior of the Kingral, it's definitely a sight to behold. Neither are stupid, and neither are weak, and they both give it their absolute all. It's one of those times when the fight genuinely starts to look more like a dance. And you could almost feel the tension in the air as they come close to a kill, but they know they never will. And it's dancing on that edge, that mutual trust, that vampires find so addicting and thrilling." - From the pages of Dr. Mellabamith's journal: A Vampiric Anthology.
Forgot to post here again. Been rather hectic lately with everyone getting sick for a couple of weeks.. @_@ But hey I managed to forge just the same!
Found this weird pose in the community and had to do it with one of my favorite short kings. ❤️
Ivory is usually very snide, rude, antisocial, and rather... well...cold, for a white dragon. Very independent since an early age and self-reliable. But what a lot of people don't realize is that deep down, buried under her thick coat and tough exterior, she cherishes family, and personal meaningful relations above all else.
And once in a rare blue moon, even she craves a little one on one time with her papa.
