Ex-Demon of Solara

A now-inactive blog belonging to one Saint Dane. His story is complete, he got his happy ending. Here's hoping you find yours. (you can find mun residing @birdybirdnerd, still undoubtedly talking about Pendragon and co. for now, though, this blog has been laid to rest. kudos to you, dane, you demonic motherfucker)

[kingofhalla]

May we make the most of this new year upon us, and may good fortune fall upon all those who fell upon bad times in the past year. 

A toast, to 2017. 

A toast, to 2018. 

[kingofhalla]

So the first of the wedding pictures came back developed and finished, it should be a bit before the rest come through, there was a problem at the developing... place. Apparently pictures taken in Solara do not come out well at first, and needed some special equipment to develop properly. 

In other words, mun needs more time to draw the rest of them. 

Elli made my dress herself, bless her heart, and her and Nevva teamed up to embroider both my dress and Bobby’s suit. You cannot see the front from this angle, but his suit jacket’s lapels are all done up in gold embroidery. He really was quite stunning, though I may be biased. 

It was a lovely wedding, there were many tears, and I may tell you all about it some day, but for now, Bobby and I are meeting up with Press for dinner in a few and I must get ready.

when crows remember people who wronged them and hold grudges it’s ‘intelligent’ and ‘really cool’ but when i do it i’m ‘petty’ and ‘need to move on?’ what kind of double standard honestly…..

[kingofhalla]

saturn and ceres for the space asks and hyaluronic acid & tea tree from the sheet mask one please!

I really shouldn’t answer questions late at night, but here we go anyways. 

Saturn- what’s your aesthetic?

Dark and cool. Cool as in cold, not ‘radical’. 

Ceres- out of everyone/thing in this world, who would you elect president?

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. 

Hyaluronic Acid- if you could change three things about your life, what would they be?

My past, perhaps. I would get rid of my PTSD, definitely. And maybe bring my shapeshifting back? I don’t know. 

Tea Tree- what is something you’ve always wanted to try but have been too scared to attempt?

Act in an actual play. I’ve acted before, many times. It used to be my whole thing, acting as someone I was not, but it was for nefarious reasons. And I am not scared of acting on stage, just haven’t seen it as something someone like me would do.

48 & 46

46. Most embarrassing moment?

I got bit on the rear by a camel last time Bobby and I went to the zoo. 

48. How do I impress you?

Be honest. Be kind. Be understanding, even if you don’t agree. 

[kingofhalla]

34, 35, 39

34. Do you belong to any fandoms? If so could you tell us?

Bobby tried to get me into Game of Thrones, Mark tried to get me into Gravity Falls, Press tried to get me into Ice Road Truckers, and they all failed until Courtney came up to me with the Kitchen Nightmares and subsequent Gordon Ramsey shows. HE is an interesting man, and though I would hesitate to call it a ‘fandom’, I do consider myself a fan of his works. 

35. What’s a secret obsession of yours?

…Knitting. 

I got into it during my demon days to calm myself down when I was in a mood and had delicate plans going on, and it just sort of… stuck, after I turned. 

39. How are you?

Amazing, wonderful, great, I am feeling at the top of my game and the top of the world. I am so much better than I have ever been, and as the days pass I get only better. 

[kingofhalla]

aloe, argan, snail, shea butter, milk!

Aloe- name a song that calms you down when you’re upset.

Classical music is very calming to me, mostly things by Mozart when I’m in a particularly bad mood. 

Argan- how many times a week do you exercise?

Bobby has actually convinced me to go to the gym with him once a week. Previous to my turning mortal, it was not needed, but now that I cannot keep up my physique magically, I must do it manually. I mostly stick to the treadmill though. 

Snail- would you rather go to a club, house party, or a small get together of 4 or 5 friends? or, do you just prefer to be alone?

A few close friends or alone, or just with Bobby. I could spend hours in his presence just doing nothing but reading, or sewing, or simple, usually boring tasks, and be perfectly content. 

Shea Butter- what’s a song that gets stuck in your head that you despise?

Bobby got into a habit of singing ‘Anaconda’ for a period of time, and it still gets stuck in my head randomly. 

Milk- do you think you take care of yourself? do you think you should sleep or eat more?

I take care of myself a lot better than I did before Bobby, and directly after my turning mortal. Right after, I didn’t really know what was needed to keep myself alive and healthy, as I had never previously needed to. 

[kingofhalla]

hows being engaged?

Well, I already answered in the previous ask that I have already been married, so I will describe that instead. 

Being married is like- winning the lottery, jumping from a waterfall, sitting near a campfire in the dead of night, the flutter of wings high above the ground, the color of a sunrise, a cold sherbet on a hot summer day, finding a twenty dollar bill in the pocket of washed jeans, toes in the sand at the beach, a good book found on accident, that one slice of pizza with all your favorite toppings, three AM on the interstate by yourself. 

Being married is a feeling hard to describe, but I do my best by explaining all the things that make me happiest, because that’s as close as I can get to true euphoria, and yet still, those words are not enough. 

Being married is troublesome, occasionally, with arguments and disagreements and inconsistencies, but it is all worth it in the end, for if I didn’t love Bobby I wouldn’t have proposed. 

Being married is the best thing I could have done, and I do not regret a moment of it, because Bobby Pendragon is the love of my life and I cannot imagine how I ever hated him. 

[kingofhalla]

do you guys have a date set for the wedding yet??

We have actually already been married, and that is where the photos I will be posting within the week will be coming from. The wedding date was rather soon after my proposal, admittedly, but we were dead set on being married on the summer solstice. I wasn’t expecting much of a turnout, but I had apparently forgotten just how many Travelers there were. The guest list was kept to close friends and family, and we even got the crew from Arkham down here for a bit! Jasper couldn’t make it, as he was busy with a time-sensitive experiment, but he took a few minutes away from doing science to FaceTime the ceremony, which I was glad for. 

But yes, I will be posting pictures from the wedding and proposal as soon as They have finished being found drawn developed. Expect those within a week or two.

[kingofhalla]

Wedding pictures will be coming some time within the next week or two, they seem to have gotten misplaced. Until then, I will reblog some of those questions if anyone wants to talk. 

[kingofhalla]

Sorry for my extended absence. A plan I have been perfecting for the past year has finally come to fruition, and the following months since executing it early June have been very, very busy.

Now you will find out why I have been gone so long, and why I am so, so happy right now the way I am.

The hand in Dane's own twitched as gravity left them. Bobby shouted, half in panic, half in joy, as they plummeted down the hundred-foot drop into the water below. The tube surrounding the craft they were in kept the water from them, but they were still sprayed as they went under to keep the theme. A flock of spinney fish that were curiously inspecting the clear tube scattered as the craft plunged underwater.

Cloral's first amusement park was off to a rousing success. It followed the themes of Second Earth's water parks, though they didn't call it such, as any park on the watery world was a water park. It featured interesting rides that spun you, slung you, doused you and made you sick with either nausea or excitement, depending. Like the water coaster Dane and Bobby were currently on, for example.

Dane gulped, forcing his rising bile down, as the were rocketed up out of the water and into the bright sky. He had never been a fan of rollercoasters of any kind, but the day was special and Bobby loved them, so he put aside his reservations and let his boyfriend drag him wherever he wanted.

Boyfriend. Thinking back, there wasn't a moment in Saint Dane's long history where he thought that childish seeming word would apply to him. As of the past year, so many things had changed that if he thought about it too hard his head would start spinning and tears would start falling. It was undignified, so the ex-demon tried not to think about it too often.

But still, so much had changed in such a short time that Dane couldn't help but think there was something he'd been missing for so long. Some part of him he hadn't known was gone, yet when he found it, fit into that section of his being so perfectly it was like it was never gone. He didn't realize, but he'd been incomplete before Bobby Pendragon, and now, he was happier than he'd been, well, ever.

He already managed to snag a house on Bobby's home territory for them to live in, now only one thing was missing to make sure he never lost this part of him again.

He had a plan exactly one year in the making, and he wasn't going to fail this time.

The coaster cruised to a stop and Dane shook his head, blowing his hair out of his face. It was shorter, after an interesting deal with Bobby that left one shorn of his long black locks and the other with a much brighter red head. It was shorter, but that didn't stop it from getting absolutely everywhere whenever the chance arose. In fact, it made it almost worse, sticking up in every direction and near untamable. He shook his head again, to no avail.

"Here, lemme get that for you," Bobby laughed, tucking Dane's hair behind his ears before hopping out of the water coaster craft. Dane followed, wobbling a bit before a steadying hand on his shoulder caught him. Bobby laughed again and Dane smiled.

"Where to next?" Bobby asked. "There's so many other rides here we could check out, or maybe get some more food? I heard there's this interesting cotton candy thing thats like sea salt taffy or whatever it's called but spun like cotton candy and-"

Dane held a hand up, chuckling. "No more food, I'll be sick and you will too. I have a better idea."

He gestured to the photo booth, where one could have their picture taken with the entire park as a backdrop. Next to it was another one, hastily set up, that was turned the opposite direction to catch the rays of the sunset behind you. It was quite beautiful, and Dane steered Bobby towards it.

He tried to go to the other one, with the park behind them, but Dane stopped him and said "We can do that one next. I really want a picture of the sunset behind us before it disappears."

Bobby shrugged and followed, unknowing of Dane's true intentions.

His heart raced as they positioned themselves in front of the camera. The ex-demon reached into his pocket and pulled out the small box there, hiding it in the palm of his hand as he stood a step behind Bobby. He gestured for the camera man to wait, then flashed the box and tilted his head at Bobby. The man's eyes widened a fraction and he nodded. Bobby was oblivious to it all.

Dane took a slow breath and let it out, then faced his boyfriend, dropping to his knee. "Bobby."

Bobby turned, looked confused when Dane wasn't where he was a moment ago, then glanced down. He saw the box in Dane's hands, open, the dark ring inside glinting innocently, and time seemed to slow down.

His eyes, bright as usual but glazed over in confusion, cleared. His mouth dropped fractionally. A sharp breath made his chest rise, and a small sound was heard over the din of the amusement park. The din which, momentarily, faded away until there was nothing between them but anticipation, bated breath, and Dane waiting for the one thing he never knew he needed most.

"Dane..."

The camera flashed and sound returned to them in an explosion. Dane found himself with something hot and heavy in his arms, the box forgotten, his heart still hammering in his chest. Bobby was shaking, though the noise around them kept exactly why he was shaking unknown. Dane blinked, his arms automatically finding their way around Bobby, but his silent question was still unanswered.

Dane pulled back, having to untangle his lover from him, only to find he was crying. Sobbing. Suddenly concerned, Dane pushed his hair out of his face and asked "Are you okay? Bobby, what's wrong?"

Bobby's shoulders shook, but he managed a choked smile. "I love you, I love you so, so much you don't understand. Oh my god, Dane, I love you."

Dane was relieved Bobby was fine, but that still didn't answer his question. "So?" he asked. He looked down at the box, suddenly worried. Was this too much? Was this too fast?

"YES!"

And Bobby was kissing him. Dane laughed into the kiss, tightening his arms around the other man, dipping his head and kissing him within an inch of his life. The camera flashed again, startling them into remembering they had an audience. An audience that was cheering. Bobby's face flushed, but the wide smile that was splitting it apart didn't disappear, instead only growing.

Dane fumbled with the ring, slipping it onto Bobby's finger and struggling not to drop it. He managed, and Bobby held it up to the dying sunlight to admire it.

It was a dark metal band, inset with tiny blue jewels around the edges. A vine pattern was etched around the jewels, setting them as the flowers on the plant.

"I made it myself," Dane murmured. "I spent weeks perfecting the metal alloy, months finding and cutting the perfect sapphires, and more time than I care to admit learning to use the tools to carve those decorations. I wanted it to be perfect, for you. Because you are perfect for me."

"That is the goddamn cheesiest thing you have ever said to me and I love you for it more than you can imagine," Bobby said, laughing. He kissed him again to another round of cheers.

Eventually they stood up and retrieved their photos. The camera man had managed to capture the exact moment Bobby realized his love was proposing to him, the light in his eyes, the flames of the dying sunset behind them, and then proceeded to capture them in a loving embrace to top it off. They paid for the first one, but the camera man insisted the second was on the house. Dane thanked him profusely for them, but Bobby was preoccupied examining his ring in the last rays of the sun.

"I'm framing this one and putting it on the mantlepiece," Dane whispered to Bobby, holding up the first picture.

"What about the other one?" Bobby asked.

"It's going in the bedroom."

Bobby laughed and nudged the taller man. "Lame."

Dane stuck his tongue out childishly, to which Bobby laughed again. "Come on," he said. "Let's go get some of that weird cotton candy and go home. I think this enough excitement for today."

"I agree," Dane replied. "And besides."

"What?"

"Now we need to plan the wedding."

Bobby grinned. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."

23, 27, 31, 59, 68, 73, 78, 88, 92

23. Tell us a story!

One time when Nevva and I were infiltrating a minor government on Denduron, we had to retrieve an item to bribe an official and, long story short, we ended up in a cross-country chase trying to lose an entire army on our rears. 

27. How do you respond to hate online?

I ignore it. I have better things to do than waste time egging trolls on. 

31. Do you wish you had more followers?

I am perfectly content with the number I have. Most are friends, after all, and those are the only followers I care for. 

59. Scenario: Everyone you don’t want to find your Tumblr, finds your Tumblr. WHAT DO YOU DO?

I don’t really have anyone in particular I wouldn’t wish to find it, so nothing? I am not ashamed of having an account. A year ago, maybe, but not now. 

68. What’s a song that describes you at the moment?

Nervous, by Gavin James. 

Search up the lyrics, and you’ll know why. 

73. What would be your murder weapon of choice?

Perhaps a pair of Chinese hook swords. Or maybe a khopesh. 

78. What’s your favorite Pokémon?

Eevee. They have such potential, can be anything in the world. Second favorite would be Ditto, for similar reasons. 

88. Have any stories that took place in school that you’d like to share?

You ask me this, knowing I wasted eighteen years of my life disguised as a teenager in a high school. You wound me. 

Dramatics aside, yes, I do have some stories. A favorite in particular was the time I was invited to a party thrown by one of Andy Mitchell’s ‘friends’, and someone tried to spike my drink. 

I threw them across the room. 

92. What do you think of me?

I do not know you, dear Anon. I have no opinion.
