30s -MINORS DNI- Mom of 1 human and 1 dog. TIRED

Ageless, Under 18, and Blank Blogs will be BLOCKED ON SIGHT. Leave this old woman alone. I've got enough kids in my house already.

[sariacreedsthirst]

heyyyy

Heyyyyy girl! You finally found me, eh?

[delightfulrat]

Excited to see you soon, my lovely gravedigger.

Witchlet has even made you a birthday present <3.

Coming to see Ygor again? He will be waiting with open arms!

Excited to see both of you again, how has the little monster been?

[sariacreedsthirst]

Quite the gremlin! Takes after you really.

Shes decided her future career needs to be either an EMT or make props specifically for horror films. She wants to learn to make things that look like the body parts you cart around.

[sariacreedsthirst]

Gotta get these thoughts out. Took kiddo to see GOAT and surprise, surprise; momma loves this weird lizard.

My brain even came up with a quick OC and basic plot for a mini fic on the drive home.

Buckle up for this mom's rambling and a poll at the end.

So MC is a doe Timor Deer as they are the species komodos primarily hunt and I vibe with that kinda cute irony. With the diner doing well and the team sticking around Vineland, I figure Carol, would want a new delivery runner. So the doe is hired even though she's not really into Roarball. She's just happy to have a job with a nice boss in her community. She's sent to the stadium at least a couple times a week to bring Will food as Carol, of course, still babies him. One day she goes and waves from the side of the court. Modo notices her for the first time and is *floored*. This little deer. He wants to eat her or ball her up and dance with her like his jeweled egg. He is not sure which. He beats Will over to her and circles her while throwing out question after question. Poor girl doesn't even get a chance to answer. When Will takes the food Modo stares after her as she leaves and everyone plays it off to him just being weird like always. Then he starts asking for Will to order pie more often. Each time she comes by Modo intercepts. Asking questions, trying to get her to hold his egg, to dance with him, trying to show off his skills. When Will offers her a ticket to their next game as a thanks for all the extra runs, she politely turns it down and says she's just not too into it. Poor Modo is CRUSHED. What?! His little snack doesn't like the one thing he is best at??! How will he prove he is perfect mate (husband is just "name on paper" Modo desires to be a HEART AND SOUL MATE) if she doesn't watch him crush enemy teams?! Archie, with his dad skills, figures it out first and suggests Modo find out what *she* likes. So girlie pop keeps getting tasked with bringing Will pies that he doesn't want and no one eats so Modo can try to figure out what she likes. But since he's got the patience of an electron, he just kinda throws things at the wall to see if she likes it. Piercings? Tattoos? (He nosed under her shirt along her back to see if she had any) Surely she'll love one of his skins! Archie loops Will in and he does the eye thing the next time she comes. This lets him figure out the book she's reading. Poor Modo tried, but it's soooooooooo boring. He wants to be moving always!! He throws himself over Will all dejected and sad (poor goat collapses) moaning he'll never convince the most perfect snack to be his mate. He goes on and on about all the odd little things about her he likes and surprise surprise she was coming in with another delivery and overheard. She agrees to a *date* only but she might have accepted to be his forever mate for all he heard. Girlie pop is constantly accosted, hugged, licked, wrapped in that tail, or carried by her crazy lizard whenever he's not on the court. Jett was worried it would distract him but she quickly changed tune after a rival player made a nasty comment about Modo dating a "medium".... yeah that game was a wash for the other team. I think I HC Modo doesn't really live anywhere. He can afford it he just chooses not to. So he's constantly crashing at doe's. The one time she asks to see his place he just takes her back to the locker room 🤣 So our doe now just hangs around during her off time either to cheer Modo on in practice or give Archie a but of a break by playing with the twins. Poor thing nearly faints watching her first game. She knew they got heated but it's different seeing it live and watching her sweetheart nearly get his skull crushed because he decided to wave at her. Other little relationship ideas I had for them included: Modo just putting her head or neck in his jaws sometimes out of cutenes aggression, doe having a "deer in the headlights" moment, riding on the back of his motorcycle, girl clinging to him for deer (hehe) life, painting nails/hooves together. But the main conflict once they're together eludes me. What should I focus on? Should the relationship conflict lean into:

Interspecies relationship issues (prejudice, breeding problems, etc)

Modo's public life making things hard on the doe (hate mail, etc)

Something else! (comment below)

Some more thoughts popping up!

MINORS DNI FROM HERE. I FUCKING SWEAR.

So our little doe I've decided to name Jane because I'm hilarious. Jane Darling. Would have been Deerling but I'm not quite funny enough to pull that one off yet.

Modo, with someone to actually spend his earnings on, spoils her to the point where she doesn't need to work, but our girl loves being independent. So she keeps her job at the diner.

At least twice she's in a nice outfit planning to meet with friends later... only to find out Will or Lenny or Jett placed a deliver order. So she sneaks in, trying to fly under her man's radar. Of course he hears her, dead stops in practice and launches himself at her. Cue the Benny Hill music while she's spronking around, desperately begging him not to tackle her while she's wearing her nice clothes. Everyone's laughing too much to help. Of course he caches, tackles, licks, smooches, and completely messes up her outfit and makeup. She can only be annoyed for so long before giving in.

Now, during mating season? Yeah she knows better than to wear anything nice. Modo is an absolute BEAST. Thrashing rivals on the court with no mercy. And after, back at her place? Yeah those clothes are shredded.

Komodos are blessed with a hemipemis, or dual shafts as it were. You know our frenzied boy is making sure she properly drains both of them. At first he's sweet enoigh to let her take them one at a time. But when the season is at its peak? Hope Jane's properly stretched.

At least he always puts that tongue (and piercings) to good use. Though he can get a little overzealous with the love bites. They learned pretty quick to keep an antivenom pen on hand. Jane's even Pavlov'd him to drop what he's doing when she picks up the little cloth bag they store em in.

Still workshopping the main couples issue! Happy to see any ideas yall have either in the comments or an ask/DM!

[sariacreedsthirst]

Some more thoughts thanks, in no small part, to yall! Thank yall for honoring my love for this unhinged lizard.

Jane definitely starts wearing waterproof makeup. She can only tolerate her eyeshadow and eyeliner being smudged by slobbery kisses so many times before investing in better quality items. It's one of the few things she lets Modo spend his money on for her.

Her friends, of course, start noticing she's spending more time busy than just work would cause. So they start asking questions. (If anyone has suggestions or OCs I can borrow to fill out her friend roster, I'd love to see them!)

It's like pulling teeth to get her to the juicy bit.

"Why you been busy?"

"I'm seeing a guy now. He's into Roarball so his schedule is-"

"OOOOH! You, dating someone who plays? Does he play at the cage? Do we know him?"

"He plays for.... the Thorns."

"YOURE DATING WILL?!"

"....not Will."

"Oh my Vines, LENNY?! GURL didn't know you had it in you to be a Big Climber!"

"...not Lenny."

"Gurl. Don't tell me you're doing the step mom thing for Archie's kids. I know you love em but those girls could break your legs!"

".....not Archie."

"......."

"......"

"No."

"He's really sweet! And-"

"IM SURE HE SAYS THE SAME THING ABOUT YOU! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY SMALLS HES RUNORED TO HAVE EATEN?!"

Actually, yeah let's put a pin in that. Jett and Modo make comments about eating Will. Ones that have the boy genuinely worried for his life. Not to mention the admission about eating eagles. Does that.... does that happen in this world? Do predatory animals consume prey ones on occasion? The other Thorns seemed shocked/disgusted but they were all herbivorous species since Jett was benched. We've seen insects being shown on par with the other species. Though I can't recall if any fish were ever shown. Maybe fish is considered livestock?

Or are dead prey, instead of being buried, repurposed into food for carnivores?

Do the elite predators get away with murder in this world?!

Maybe I'm getting too into it. No matter HOW Modo got his mouth on those eagles and possibly others, he does have a reputation for eating other animals. Now our boy would NEVER nom on Jane, they both know that, but outsiders won't see it that way.

Hmmmmm. I need to think on this. As always, any ideas or suggestions yall have are very much appreciated!

I'm also currently thinking on meeting the parents, their relationship going public, Modo's fanclub backlash, and their ultimate future. Lotta lizard love stewing in this gray matter.

[sariacreedsthirst]

Did a little doodle of Jane Darling and Modo to get an idea of their size difference. Not too shabby methinks!

Again, more thoughts below the break.

You know our doe is getting lots of hate mail, email, tweets, texts, you name it- she's gotten it. Modo is icon and a snack. Fans are crazy and definitely aren't taking the news of the player/OWNER dating some nobody medium.

Good thing she's got Olivia to teach her leather social media boundaries! (Just kidding she tosses it to Modo to swallow.)

Our boy doesn't understand why some of the fans aren't happy for him?! On more than one occasion Jett has to physically restrain him from attacking a fan that jeers/throws a drink at Jane when she's watching their game courtside.

Not to mention her friends and parents showing concern over the longevity of the relationship. Mixed species just doesn't last. Too many differences blah blah.

It's A LOT for this doe who is still trying to figure out why on earth Modo has decided to focus all his attention on her. Of course he's a sweetie and a catch! Crazy, yes. Hyper? He invented it. But a scratch behind the spines and he melts. He may not be looking at her when she talks but he always remembers.

Will even asks Modo one day: "Not judging but... why Jane? You've had every reptile, bird, and mammal throwing themselves at you every game."

Modo simply replies: "When I look at her, I see my egg." Nothing more. Nothing less.

I'm kinda toying with the idea of Jane and Modo having a hybrid son. But I'm stuck on the timeline. A whoopsie baby? Like "I didn't think it was POSSIBLE"?

I'm also struggling with the turning point in their relationship. When/where/how/why does it finally click for Jane that she doesn't care what anyone else says or thinks. That she's got her Modo and he has her and they can figure things out together.

Hmmm I must retire to my chambers and ponder my orb on this one.

[sariacreedsthirst]

So a big thanks to @drekasal for tolerating me spamming his inbox with my ideas! Got a few more to share.

What if Modo was adopted? Through one of those shady services that takes advantage of desperate couples? His parents, a green iguana and argentine tegu, took his egg after being promised it was a medium, herbivorous lizard.

Surprise surprise! They now have this enormous baby who no one is quite sure exactly what he is. They love their baby no matter what. Even when feeding him strained the budget. Perhaps they even looked to the black market for cheap bird meat. Maybe even got their claws on eagle meat on his birthdays?

Either way I think they're gone by the time he joins the Thorns. When the group splits, he stays in the locker room, sadly dancing until he doesn't have energy to do more than slither around his egg. He had no one until the Thorns. Until Jane.

When they finally decide to expand their family, it's an interesting experience. Adoption agencies, PROPER ones, have a lot of hoops to jump through. I think Jane would be the one primarily contacting them as Modo... well he doesn't have the best phone etiquette.

The mixed species angle doesn't really bother them. Most mixes end up adopting. But a mammal with a reptile? Most birth parents want their kids going to somewhere "stable", you know?

It's almost worse once they realize her partner is the owner of the Thorns. Suddenly they're bending over backwards to push them to the front of the line. To get to claim that Modo adopted from THEIR agency.

It takes a while, but they finally match and click with a young raccoon girl. To the point where Jane has to continuously remind Modo they need to be patient as the house visits, financial background checks, and court dates take their sweet time.

.....and then less than a year later Jane, SOMEHOW, ends up pregnant. But that's a musing for another day.

[sariacreedsthirst]

Gotta get these thoughts out. Took kiddo to see GOAT and surprise, surprise; momma loves this weird lizard.

Hmmmmm. I need to think on this. As always, any ideas or suggestions yall have are very much appreciated!

I'm also currently thinking on meeting the parents, their relationship going public, Modo's fanclub backlash, and their ultimate future. Lotta lizard love stewing in this gray matter.

[sariacreedsthirst]

Gotta get these thoughts out. Took kiddo to see GOAT and surprise, surprise; momma loves this weird lizard.

My brain even came up with a quick OC and basic plot for a mini fic on the drive home.

Buckle up for this mom's rambling and a poll at the end.

So MC is a doe Timor Deer as they are the species komodos primarily hunt and I vibe with that kinda cute irony. With the diner doing well and the team sticking around Vineland, I figure Carol, would want a new delivery runner. So the doe is hired even though she's not really into Roarball. She's just happy to have a job with a nice boss in her community. She's sent to the stadium at least a couple times a week to bring Will food as Carol, of course, still babies him. One day she goes and waves from the side of the court. Modo notices her for the first time and is *floored*. This little deer. He wants to eat her or ball her up and dance with her like his jeweled egg. He is not sure which. He beats Will over to her and circles her while throwing out question after question. Poor girl doesn't even get a chance to answer. When Will takes the food Modo stares after her as she leaves and everyone plays it off to him just being weird like always. Then he starts asking for Will to order pie more often. Each time she comes by Modo intercepts. Asking questions, trying to get her to hold his egg, to dance with him, trying to show off his skills. When Will offers her a ticket to their next game as a thanks for all the extra runs, she politely turns it down and says she's just not too into it. Poor Modo is CRUSHED. What?! His little snack doesn't like the one thing he is best at??! How will he prove he is perfect mate (husband is just "name on paper" Modo desires to be a HEART AND SOUL MATE) if she doesn't watch him crush enemy teams?! Archie, with his dad skills, figures it out first and suggests Modo find out what *she* likes. So girlie pop keeps getting tasked with bringing Will pies that he doesn't want and no one eats so Modo can try to figure out what she likes. But since he's got the patience of an electron, he just kinda throws things at the wall to see if she likes it. Piercings? Tattoos? (He nosed under her shirt along her back to see if she had any) Surely she'll love one of his skins! Archie loops Will in and he does the eye thing the next time she comes. This lets him figure out the book she's reading. Poor Modo tried, but it's soooooooooo boring. He wants to be moving always!! He throws himself over Will all dejected and sad (poor goat collapses) moaning he'll never convince the most perfect snack to be his mate. He goes on and on about all the odd little things about her he likes and surprise surprise she was coming in with another delivery and overheard. She agrees to a *date* only but she might have accepted to be his forever mate for all he heard. Girlie pop is constantly accosted, hugged, licked, wrapped in that tail, or carried by her crazy lizard whenever he's not on the court. Jett was worried it would distract him but she quickly changed tune after a rival player made a nasty comment about Modo dating a "medium".... yeah that game was a wash for the other team. I think I HC Modo doesn't really live anywhere. He can afford it he just chooses not to. So he's constantly crashing at doe's. The one time she asks to see his place he just takes her back to the locker room 🤣 So our doe now just hangs around during her off time either to cheer Modo on in practice or give Archie a but of a break by playing with the twins. Poor thing nearly faints watching her first game. She knew they got heated but it's different seeing it live and watching her sweetheart nearly get his skull crushed because he decided to wave at her. Other little relationship ideas I had for them included: Modo just putting her head or neck in his jaws sometimes out of cutenes aggression, doe having a "deer in the headlights" moment, riding on the back of his motorcycle, girl clinging to him for deer (hehe) life, painting nails/hooves together. But the main conflict once they're together eludes me. What should I focus on? Should the relationship conflict lean into:

Interspecies relationship issues (prejudice, breeding problems, etc)

Modo's public life making things hard on the doe (hate mail, etc)

Something else! (comment below)

Some more thoughts popping up!

MINORS DNI FROM HERE. I FUCKING SWEAR.

So our little doe I've decided to name Jane because I'm hilarious. Jane Darling. Would have been Deerling but I'm not quite funny enough to pull that one off yet.

Modo, with someone to actually spend his earnings on, spoils her to the point where she doesn't need to work, but our girl loves being independent. So she keeps her job at the diner.

At least twice she's in a nice outfit planning to meet with friends later... only to find out Will or Lenny or Jett placed a deliver order. So she sneaks in, trying to fly under her man's radar. Of course he hears her, dead stops in practice and launches himself at her. Cue the Benny Hill music while she's spronking around, desperately begging him not to tackle her while she's wearing her nice clothes. Everyone's laughing too much to help. Of course he caches, tackles, licks, smooches, and completely messes up her outfit and makeup. She can only be annoyed for so long before giving in.

Now, during mating season? Yeah she knows better than to wear anything nice. Modo is an absolute BEAST. Thrashing rivals on the court with no mercy. And after, back at her place? Yeah those clothes are shredded.

Komodos are blessed with a hemipemis, or dual shafts as it were. You know our frenzied boy is making sure she properly drains both of them. At first he's sweet enoigh to let her take them one at a time. But when the season is at its peak? Hope Jane's properly stretched.

At least he always puts that tongue (and piercings) to good use. Though he can get a little overzealous with the love bites. They learned pretty quick to keep an antivenom pen on hand. Jane's even Pavlov'd him to drop what he's doing when she picks up the little cloth bag they store em in.

Still workshopping the main couples issue! Happy to see any ideas yall have either in the comments or an ask/DM!

Valentine's day is coming up again, darling. Let's not repeat last year, eh? The thought was cute but I simply do not have a way to safely store a still beating heart.

The gesture is still very much appreciated!

Ygor also doesn't have spare hearts to give around this year... How about a foot? Does that work for you? Very useful gift!

[sariacreedsthirst]

Witchlet says she would prefer an arm or some fingers as feet tend to be smelly.

Don't stress yourself about it! She's got to learn to just be appreciative of what others choose to give her.

Though I'm just not noticing the hipocracy in my statement. Hmmm.

Anyways! What would you like, hun?

[delightfulrat]

I might need a hand collecting that, hehehehe

You are getting something for Ygor? Could you get some chocolate? The tourist keep buying it all up!

[sariacreedsthirst]

I knew that dad joke book was a bad idea.

Ooh! Now that I think of it there was a speciality shop that sold chocolate covered insects!

I'll get you a mix of milk and dark chocolate. Perhaps a few extras so the Creation doesn't steal them all.

Just don't keep em loose in your pockets. Might all melt into one crunchy messy lump.

Trust me, I learned that from experience. Melted right out my pocket and onto the white couch at my friend's house :/

[delightfulrat]

The creature won't have a chance to steal them! Ygor will eat them all right away!

Tell the little creature I say hi, Ygor is waiting for her to come back to Darkmoor

[sariacreedsthirst]

She misses you very much! Her magnetic letters on the front door have to ALWAYS spell Ygor or she gets upset.

She's also been working on your birthday present.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/66945850/chapters/172807459

Prologue and first 3 chapters are up!

MINORS DNI. I ain't even in the general realm of fucking around. There's nothing remotely spicy for a while but it will head there.

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on how I wrote for the creature and Ygor! Still getting used to their characters.

And feel free to ask if you have any questions on my headcanons for how I set up this Darkmoor or where things may be headed. Interaction fuels me!

[sariacreedsthirst]

Look at him. Such a kissable Lil guy

[stompanieart]

we've had one fuckable wizard, yes.

how could you do this to us larian

[suzieloveships]

Girls literally only want one thing

[delightfulrat]

*Your* daughter drew blood from me while I was sleeping to paint her nails. She said you taught her how to do this.

Can yall please just ask next time? The blood draw isn't the issue it's trying to *clean the sheets* that's killing me here.

You should know to use peroxide to clean blood, that shouldn't be an issue! So there is no issue to yell at Ygor about!

Also, to paint her nails with blood? Ygor has tried, it does not stick!

[sariacreedsthirst]

My love, the peroxide isn't the issue. It's that you've been teaching our daughter to practice bloodletting on me while I sleep!

And I'm not yelling at you I'm telling at you. In fact, I think until this stops you're in charge of laundry.

And we both know the blood won't stick. It's why she keeps drawing more. My arms are starting to look like Swiss chesse.
