Soooo I may have gotten a bit excited and spent awhile on Artbreeder making some portraits of @much-ado-about-whumping’s OCs. 👀

I’m not even sure if they look even remotely close to what you have in mind, Bel, but this is pretty much what I imagine them looking like in my head 😅

Left to right: Déomas, Rhys, Prince Merrion

[much-ado-about-whumping]

Hi I just wanna say that I love Deomas. I feel likes its been a bit since he's been on my dash and I was so excited to see him again!

☺☺☺💖💖💖 Aww, Nonny! I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you. <3 It's been a while, but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of writing him soon.

🔺 Deomas, if you could trade places with some random stranger who would take Merrion’s abuse instead of you, would you do it? - newbornwhumperfly

@newbornwhumperfly, what an excellent question! 😈😭

CWs: past non-con (only vaguely alluded to), past captivity

Rate his discomfort: 8/10

Déomas goes quiet. He chews his lip for a moment, hesitating. When he speaks, his voice comes soft, strained.

"Do you mean- the- the dungeons, too?"

He tugs his sweater more closely around his shoulders, as if warding off a remembered chill.

"I don't- I don't- fuck, I- "

He chokes, wiping furiously at his eyes.

"Look," he says wetly, "what happened to me is already over. I wouldn't- it wouldn't help. I was already fucked up before he got me- "

He has to stop for a moment, swallowing hard.

"But- if I had to go back?"

He looks away, a flush of shame rising in his cheeks.

"I couldn't. I couldn't go back there. Whatever it cost."

🔺 Deomas, are in love with Rhys? - newbornwhumperfly

Awww, thanks @newbornwhumperfly !

Rate his discomfort: 3/10

Déomas looks down, away, rubbing at the nape of his neck with one hand. There's a flush in his cheeks.

"I- I mean, he's great, he's really great, he's- his arms make me feel safe, and he smells like home, and- fuck, you saw what he did for me, didn't you? You saw him take me- take me out of that place- "

He shudders, shakes his head.

"I don't...like to put this out there, but I do love him. Very much. And...if I'm being honest? I think I have for a long time."

So I've now read up to part 6 and will hopefully read part 7 tomorrow, can I be tagged if you add anymore? If you have a taglist.

Yes, absolutely!!! Thanks so much for your interest! ☺ I'm a very slow poster and it's been a while since I've posted new work, tbh, but Déomas is very much active in my head and there will be more work with him in the future (hopefully soon). I'm glad to add you to the taglist!

💭 public humiliation - Déomas, Rhys, Andreas, & Sebastian (question intended to be whumpy rather than sexual, but, like,..if that’s a part of it you wanna address? hehe 👀)

(A note: I would not have been so mean if I were not answering for a friend who consented to it! I promise it is safe to ask my characters questions. :p Thanks for being a wonderful sport, @newbornwhumperfly ! <3)

CWs: public humiliation mention (which you've already seen), non-con mention (if you squint), pet whump mention

Déomas:

Déomas' face goes soft, wounded. When his voice comes, it's unusually quiet.

"Why would you ask me that? What- what could I possibly think of it? You saw what he fucking did to me, you saw the way he showed me off, the way he made me available to his friends. Why- why would you make me think about that?"

He looks away, chewing his lip. When he turns back, his eyes are harder, his voice more heated.

"No, you know what? I do have a thought. I think a person has to be pretty fucking small to want to treat someone else like a trophy or an ornament or a- a pet. No, not even a pet- " he chokes - "I saw his dogs. He treated them better."

He's crying now, furious, frustrated, cheeks flushing hot - Rhys reaches for him, but he shakes his head and turns away, stalking out.

Rhys:

"I- really? It's awful, obviously, it's deeply fucked up, it's designed to keep other people in line, it undermines community, it- listen, sorry - I have to go."

He follows Déomas at a jog, calling after him.

Sebastian:

Sebastian wrinkles his nose.

"Distasteful and cruel. Tool of a despot, not a leader - nobody grows from that."

Andreas:

Andreas shudders.

"Can't say I'm in favor of it. To suffer in silence is once thing - to be made to do it publicly is - uniquely unkind, in my opinion. Let people bear their pain privately - at least there's dignity in that."

(You don’t have to answer all of these haha) Déomas 💭 insects. Are they annoying or fascinating? Do you have any specific fears of any, or do you have the guts to eat them?

(Okay but you sent me some AMAZING questions, @jack-vistas . It's only taking me a little while to answer because I'm still thinking about them!)

Déomas thinks for a moment before he answers.

"Anything that has the potential to ruin your living space - ants, roaches, termites - I could do without. Spiders* are on thin fucking ice. But some kinds of bugs are interesting - stick bugs, for instance. I've always wondered what it would be like to be able to camouflage so perfectly, you know? Butterflies are all right - caterpillars are better. Rhys likes them, thinks they're cute, even when they chew through all the leaves in his garden. I can deal with bumblebees. Earth worms spook me out a little - I don't need to be reminded that I'll end up in the ground one day, thanks."

He considers the second part of your question-

"...I'd have to be really fucking hungry. And even then - ick."

* You can try to tell him that arachnids and some of the other creatures he listed are not technically insects, but he will roll his eyes as hard as he can and he will absolutely not retain the information.

💭legal torture/brutal criminal corporal punishment (not sure how to phrase this lmao) - Andreas & Deomas (pre-being-tortured? not sure if that’s something i can request but i think it would be interesting)

(That is absolutely something you can request! Here are some thoughts from pre-captivity Andreas and Déomas.)

Andreas:

"Punishment should fit the crime. It shouldn't be gratuitous, of course, but there are times when pain is called for in order to correct a behavior. I don't believe in administering it publicly - that sort of thing gets distastefully theatrical."

Déomas:

"Oh, fuck that. What, like whipping, or caning, or that kind of thing? You show me a prince or a duke or a lord being lashed for his misdeeds and maybe I'll think it just, but otherwise it's just another way to keep the rabble in line."

(Thanks for asking, @newbornwhumperfly !)

This ask is in reference to this game!
