dms are open to anyone, and discord is available upon request !
i'm so bummed that my laptop died because i wanna write with y'all's hsr muses so badly !! just know i'll be coming for your toes once i can it fixed and get back to tumblr. all of you
i... really miss writing here. i would do anything to come back and revamp, restart, find something fresh to inspire me, but my goddamn laptop had a shit fit with a recent update and bricked itself — so if anything comes it'll be slow. i have a desktop that i can use, but i have lost all of my graphics, and sitting at my desk to write exacerbates my cubital tunnel syndrome big time. things have felt a little hopeless lately but i'm trying to stay afloat, and i do sincerely apologize to anyone i promised interaction with. life got in the way, to say the least. thanks to anyone still around.
why the fuck does the small text formatting not stay consistent when i post something. and when i go in to try to fix the parts that no longer have small formatting, the rest of the thing gets fucked up when i save it. god i hate the beta editor

YES! kinks? | most of them. monsterfucking, degradation, bondage, sadomasochism, exhibitionism, semi-public sex, teasing, orgasm denial, chastity, forced orgasms, gags, shibari, sounding, flagellation/impact play, puppy play, rimming, watersports, electrosex, edging, knifeplay, breathplay, begging, body worship (giving), cnc, frotting, hybristophilia, breeding, joi, somnophilia, medical play.
EH! kinks? | spanking, suspension, sex in front of mirrors, intoxication.
NO! kinks? | age play, ddlg, asphyxiation, being submerged in water, coprophilia, incest, anything involving animals.
preferred positions? | top. he'll bottom for certain partners.
dominant, submissive, both? | realistically both, though he naturally leans sub.
promiscuous or subdued? | hm, he's had his fair share of one night stands but they don't happen all that often.
lights on or lights off? | on, tbh. at least some light. whether fluorescents or moonlight, he wants to see his partner.
outspoken or reserved / shy? | outspoken enough to get by on his own.
quiet or loud? | relatively quiet if he's topping, loud and whorish if he's bottoming.
traditional or experimental? | experimental, on all accounts.
fast or slow? | fast. even with partners. slow sex has a tendency to make him dissociate.
quickies or all-nighters? | both. all nighters moreso, i'd say.
rough or soft? | rough, for similar reasons that he likes it fast.
romantic or dirty? | dirty. romantic is... saved for when his partners want it, rather than when he wants it. because- he wants it almost never.
partially clothed or nude? | hm, partially clothed i suppose. nude is great too, but truthfully less common.
[ 003 > in depth. ]
what's their "type"? | anyone who gives dangerous vibes, who won't judge him on the number of lives he's taken, people he's hurt. his needs and wants aren't super specific, as long as he's able to be open around them.
how do they view sex? | fun. there's very little romantic intent behind sex for him, he'd prefer nonsexual intimacy for romance. sex is just fun.
how often do they have sex? | when single, maybe once or twice a month. when in a relationship, almost daily. more than once daily, sometimes.
do they kinkshame? | not unless it's what someone's into. he has no reason to kinkshame when his kink list could span several books.
preferences? | he's a sub top at heart, but he will dom more often than not, simply because it's what he feels most comfortable with. only trusted partners will get subby vess.
favorite toys / extras? | cock rings, sounding rods, vibrators. a chastity cage when he's feeling spicy.
do they enjoy porn? | eh, yes and no. he prefers to fantasize, because porn rarely caters to his wants.
have they ever been in porn? | no, but he would, if the option was there. plus he loves having pictures or videos taken of him by partners, and sending nudes is nice as well.
are they physically flexible? | very, actually. spcifically in the hips, because he fights with his legs.
ever exchamnged sex for something? | yep. information, persuasion, money once or twice.
when did they lose their virginity? | age 20, a couple years after he managed to escape his father.
how long can they go without sex? | as long as he likes. the man's into denial, he could go months just getting more and more pent up, it would drive him crazy but that's what he gets off on.
thoughts on foreplay? | vital to any sexual experience. sex doesn't happen without foreplay.
how often do they masturbate? | when single, relatively often. eh, five times a week i'd say. when in a relationship the number goes down a lot but only because he has sex to replace it.
are they vocal (words) during sex? | quite, he loves dirty talk, he's better at praising his partners than he is degrading or the like but he'll do whatever is asked of him, on top of his own natural instinctive comments.
do they like to keep music on? | only if it's already playing. he prefers to hear his partner's every breath.
sex on the first date? | sure, why not.
a sexual secret they've never shared? | he's gotten off to some of the kills he's made, though only when those kills are in his own interest, contract killing doesn't do it for him.

so i finally remembered the other day that the thing i forgot to mention in vess' bio was his whole fucking abyssal form and how he got to the point of being turned into a monster within the abyss, but i'm kind of caught between potential plots for that since the most recent archon quest update. half of me wants him to be part rifthound, and the other half wants just, to redesign the abyssal form i had drawn up previously. i'm hoping to figure this out quickly enough that i can get back to consistent writing without feeling overwhelmed by genshin lore fggkfh
complete backstory update, this is exactly what was written on my carrd but i want to have it here too just in case ! under a cut bc it's reasonably long.
CW: child abuse, amputation, human experimentation.
vesper mikkel argyros was born and raised in the once great nation of khaenri’ah, a little over five hundred years prior to the beginning of the game. born to native khaenri’ahns — his mother, maia, and his father, steinn — vesper was the older in a set of twin boys, caelum the younger of the two. they were inseparable, and life was calm until an acute illness caused maia’s sudden death, leaving vesper and caelum under the “care” of their father. by the age of four onward, steinn’s abusive tendencies were no longer padded by their mother’s presence, and their father began to train them in his line of work — mercenary work and assassination. as the boys grew up, steinn pitted them against each other, directly causing a deeply ingrained sibling rivalry between the twins. the abuse grew worse with every passing day, the grueling training grew increasingly difficult to handle, but they both grew stronger, faster, their intelligence and capability honed by a regimen that was designed to teach by punishment. the kids each grew to take on their own skill set, and upon recognizing that vesper relied heavily on his legs for combat, at age fifteen his father amputated both of vess’ legs mid-thigh. this was, supposedly, in an attempt to replace them with metal and make him “stronger”. in his father’s eyes, he was never strong enough.
vesper’s brother caelum was killed on a mission shortly after they turned sixteen, a mission he’d been sent on by steinn, who knew full well what the dangers were. now unable to keep both children under his control, steinn’s abuse only got more intense with vesper in the years after, pushing vesper to his physical and mental limits day after day. that is, until, just before his nineteenth birthday, vess snapped and murdered his father with his bare hands. truthfully, it felt like nothing. empathy wasn’t exactly something vesper and his now-deceased brother were ever taught. so, vess cleaned up the mess, and left everything to burn. the house, the memories, his father’s corpse, it all burned brightly as vesper turned and never looked back. off on his own, now out in a world he’d explored very little of, vess decided to take up studying his favorite subject: mechanics. long had vesper dreamed of becoming an engineer, and he spent much of his alone time deconstructing and reconstructing machines and technology of the time, anything from a small precise clock, to ruin machinery that he’d managed to corral and harvest. he spent almost a decade in education in order to learn the ins and outs of these machines, and the mathematics of engineering them. it was only as vesper was preparing to graduate that the cataclysm took khaenri’ah out from under him.
it was a staggeringly dangerous time of vesper’s life, the fall of khaenri’ah into the abyss, and the curse laid upon him and his fellow people by celestia itself. in a way, he was lucky — his curse was immortality, as a pure blooded khaenri’ahn. he watched hundreds of those around him turn to monsters, irreversible damage caused to their bodies and minds, lost to the cruelty of fate, but he stayed frozen in time, wondering why, after everything that he’d been through, he wasn’t left a mindless husk instead. vesper spent several years in the abyss; he’d fallen with khaenri’ah and was lost amidst its ruins, but he’d been trained well — the newly claimed monsters were little match for him. upon finding an exit to the overworld during his aimless travels, vess crawled his way into teyvat, leaving behind the life that had begun in the godless nation.
vess came to in sumeru, with nothing to call his own and no way to set up a comfortable life, so instead of settling there, vesper took up traveling most of teyvat to familiarize himself with the world. he came to settle down in mondstadt, a handful of decades spent doing unwanted jobs in order to work up enough mora to survive. his longest line of work was as a mortician’s assistant, and later a full mortician himself. his knowledge of human anatomy and how to handle death came easily due to the years of training under his father, and this did him a great service in finding decent work that most people would be unable to do. despite this, he grew restless in mondstadt — no new technology to keep his mind busy, to catch his fascination the way inventions across other nations had. uprooting himself, vess moved from mondstadt to snezhnaya, a new climate, in hopes of learning something new as the fatui emerged with new machinery and updated technology. in order to network himself, vesper took up work doing the same thing he’d done in mondstadt, running a mortuary, though this time he took jobs behind the scenes whenever the fatui needed cleanup. they’d been watching him for some time when a recruiter found vesper in his own workshop, a cozy little space vesper had bought out to work on his prostheses and mechanical projects in his spare time.
upon noting his skill in mechanical engineering, vess was offered a position — to work as an engineer under il dottore, a harbinger, known to be one of the strongest of the fatui thus far.
vesper spent centuries rising in the ranks, working smart and keeping to himself, until he settled into a position that reports directly to the doctor. he had no interest in getting any higher in rank, and would not enjoy being at the top of the ladder, as being a right hand man was the most comfortable space for him to take up. vess has done innumerable horrific things under the guide of the fatui, under the doctor and his experiments, and vess had a direct hand in assisting dottore in creating perfect segments of himself, living machines within which he could share his knowledge, everything accumulated over the centuries. having moved beyond that project, as dottore took it into his own hands once he had the information vesper could give, he now works primarily in designing and supplying new mechanical body parts to those experimented upon in their labs — very reminiscent of what his father did to him. despite the fact that he knows the horrendous pain and anguish that stems from having your limbs removed and replaced without your consent, vesper has felt little to nothing for the people in the fatui labs as a whole. he cannot empathize with the masses, only those he knows on an individual basis. in order to further expand his knowledge and understanding of blooming technology, vesper can be frequently found outside of snezhnaya, often in sumeru or mondstadt, learning from skilled craftsmen in their specific lines of work.
UPDATE !!!! vesper's backstory has been entirely rewritten on my carrd, but i'll transfer it here in a separate post too and just slap the hc tag on it
do you ever see something you've written and need to edit and get the feeling you're literally never going to want to read it because you'll end up embarrassed that you shared that for people to read, and therefore simply rewrite it from the very fucking beginning or are you normal
i've been meaning to update vesper's carrd to better reflect his current position and backstory but instead i accidentally got caught up in remaking an entire site for my other oc's information, fuck
@ohmors said: 12 - sneaking away to a hidden corner to share a secretive kiss. :)
in the end, how special was a first love ? really ? frostwind was inclined to believe that it wasn’t truly important, if only because of how his first one had ended, painfully, and with everlasting scars. but as much as he would have liked to choke down the truth, there had been sweetness there, in the beginning, sweetness he would have liked to re – experience with someone better, someone more worth kaeya’s time. he did not like to compare his lovers, but he was only human ( mostly, ) and when the first had left such damaging scars, it was impossible not to feel the ghost of his touch with hands that roamed his hips, that kissed his lips.
a younger kaeya had been in the same position once upon a time. delegations and parties, galas and balls, the life of a noble in mondstadt had been one of decadent pleasure. drawn to hidden back rooms and vacant halls, gilded decorum and the romantic echoes of ballroom violins, kaeya felt the slide of vesper’s leg between his thighs, the puff of air against his neck as he laid claim to warm quivering skin. a moment lingered between them, with vess’ hand splayed over the skin of the captain’s chest, where their foreheads touched, where kaeya’s eyes slid shut slowly, and unassuming ( trusting, trusting, trusting ) where a first love, perhaps didn’t matter anymore –
or maybe it did ? when vess’ lips would move to press ravenously over kaeya’s own, there was no ghost of darkness past to chase away the lingering fear there.
in the end had he written over the hurt and trauma hidden between kaeya’s ribs ? had vess blurred that young noble’s name out ?
or had that bastard he been scribbling his nonsense over the name which had already been there ? the marks left behind by vess hundreds of years before ?
so... i finished the archon quest right off the bat, and i've been Thinking for a while since i finished it... i am most definitely going to have to change things in vess' timeline so i might be under construction for a wee bit of time as i figure things out here
i'm going insane bc i've been trying to plot w a handful of people so i have a jumping off point but my timing was poor bc i knew this was coming and i wasn't prepared for it to change my current thoughts on vess skfjsjs
