New oc's hello!!!!!! Would love to know more about indira and delia! What do they do, where do they live, do they travel? Who are they close with, any enemies? What are their hobbies, do they have any big dreams for themselves?? 👀👀👀

TEEHEE op ur opening a bit of a pandoras box with this ily thank u

SO INDIRA otherwise known as indi, is an alchemist originally from novigrad but settled in velen bc. she got the fuck outta dodge with the witch hunts. most of her day to day is spent making potions and salves for nearby villagers, but she does dabble in the darker side of alchemy, she’s basically like. a victor frankenstein esque character trying to create life. she’s a little bit of a freak, she doesn’t talk to the villagers around her so she kind of. gets lumped in with the crones and witches in the area.

she’s settled kind of near crookback bog, and bc of that she meets ciri shortly after her encounter with the crones. she helped patch ciri up and over the time ciri was staying with her, the two got close. ultimately though ciri did have to leave, which left indi a little heartbroken. she decides she wants to be with ciri even if it’s dangerous for her, so she joins geralt on his mission to find ciri, meeting @viktorgf ‘s sybil, @auricfog ‘s lucina, and @risingsh0t ‘s satine along the way!

in my minds eye. she looks like this

miss delia henrietta von frey, or just delia, is the daughter of a baronet and comes from a family that funds archaeological expeditions and excavations due to her father’s interest in history, mainly ancient civilizations. delia inherited this interest from her father and spends a lot of her time studying these civilizations when she’s not being forced to socialize by her family. she struggles with socializing, because she is a chronic yapper and is a little bit of a know it all. she also doesn’t get out much because of her family, but she is constantly trying to go on expeditions with the archaeologists.

she meets alucard when he somehow made it to london and was asking around about sekmet’s tomb. delia, again being a chronic yapper + know it all + special interest in ancient civilizations, “um actually”ed her way into the conversation which lead to her accompanying him on his trip to egypt. after that, she travels with him for 3 years until the events of castlevania: nocturne, and by then the two are pretty close. he’s taught her how to fight, taught her some spells, gives her a cloak that he’s warded to protect her. she’s able to info dump about history to him, with him occasionally adding in bits from his own life since he is 300 years old at that point. throughout season 2 they have a sort of will they won’t they thing going on, until by the end of the season he decides to make the jump and tell her how he feels. I have entirely no clue what is going to happen if there is a season 3 of this show but in my head, her and alucard continue to travel around, probably helpig rebuild Paris or following richter and annette to Saint-Domingue. unsure! either way she’s going wherever he does.

in my minds eye, she looks like this

[toxic-ship-tournament]

ROUND 2 / SIDE A / POLL 1

Deputy Dean Sinclaire x Jacob Seed (@derelictheretic) vs CEO x Arowana (@owo-whats-bliss)

who makes up your ship?:

Deputy Dean Sinclaire x Jacob Seed

why does your ship deserve to be considered the most toxic?:

It all starts with Jacob kidnapping Dean, or having his chosen kidnap him for him technically. You know, how most loving relationships start. Then it goes into Jacob starving Dean for weeks, mentally conditioning him, psychologically torturing him and chipping away at his mental resolve until he breaks and becomes the perfect murder machine; which is when Jacob tricks him into killing one of his closest allies. (Not to mention his initial goal was to make someone deserving of killing him, romance in self destruction via outward force and so on and so forth). After all of this you'd think they hate each other and honestly a part of Dean does hate him but another part of him craves his praise and attention and he knows he's too far gone at this point and the only person who could love a monster is another monster. He's everything he ever feared he'd become and Jacob is the now steady force holding all his broken peices together. Congrats to Jacob for literally making him worse! And congrats to Dean for making Jacob unhealthily obsessed with him and making him feel something for the first time in years! Even if it was possessiveness and a twisted version of love! They beat the shit out of each other on multiple occasions, sometimes before or during sex. They threaten to kill the other's families and almost go through with it a few times. By the end Dean is willing to kill anyone who tries to hurt Jacob and Jacob is willing to do the same, they're tragic, they're toxic, they're the worst, they make everyone uncomfortable and they'll probably die covered in each other's blood. But at least they'll be holding hands <3

ship tags/playlists/pinterest boards?:

Tag: #ship: Only Us Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4GDAKjOCyUKxWqw7acgzgi Pinterest: https://pin.it/2WOuuEp

****

who makes up your ship?:

CEO (human) and Arowana (the weird fish thing)

why does your ship deserve to be considered the most toxic?:

They do extremely unethical experiments on people together under the guise of saving them, but Arowana is just using them to eat the people while telling CEO that that was a last resort. CEO is hopelessly devoted to them, both romantically and religiously, and uses everything he has financially and emotionally to support whatever they do (even to him). Arowana is initially only using him, but falls in love and becomes unhealthily obsessed, threatening to harm those who look at him. CEO is a human, Arowana is a god, keeping him alive no matter what happens to him. (Also, Arowana does have a human form, they're just not in it 80% of the time.)

ship tags/playlists/pinterest boards?:

None of those, but I think about them to the song "Hakidasu" by Mao Sasagawa and "god, please () me, a monster"

WHO WINS?

Deputy Dean Sinclaire x Jacob Seed

CEO x Arowana

The Cold of a Steel Heart (Yandere robot/AI) sounds interesting could we see some of that please!! 👀👀

Ahhhhhh sure thing hun!!! Hope you're doing well by the way! 🤗💖

TBH, as a bit of backstory, this mostly came about from a combination of a dream I had a while ago and because I wanted to write something horror related. Natural conclusion considering the dream I had was a yandere AI/robot, with a bit more of a lean into the horror aspect. It's not very prevalent in this preview, more tension building and scene setting I guess, but the idea is for it to get worse and never better 😃🙃

-\-\-\

You flail as you turn around, back pressed tightly against the heavy steel of your barred exit. Eyes widening as another wave of panicked nausea twists violently in your stomach. Unable to look away from the monstrosity that’s cornered you.

It’s a machine, makeshift and crude. Rover-like if not for how It fills the space, large with a mishmash of parts that you can not entirely make out in the gloom.

The steady pulsing of the emergency lights cast deep shadows across Its angular frame, the uncanny illusion of It breathing setting you further on edge as It fades into the black and reappears with the red like a spectre. Tears spilling down your cheeks as the light glints hauntingly on a large lens, welded brutishly into a rectangular box that reminds you of a projector or one of the chunky VHS players found in the monitoring rooms.

It rumbles, chugs to a gradual stop a few feet in front of you. Eerily silent bar for the click-click-click as the makeshift projector moves, mechanical joints jolting as It hunches over to look down at you. Its dark lens is cold and bright, a midnight sun stained vermillion in the polar night. Immovable and disquieting as it looms over you, an ill fated omen painfully still like an apex hunter lying in wait for the appointed hour.

Swallowing the whimper lodged in your throat you shakily stare up at It. Can just about make out the movement in Its lens, can hear that grinding whirl from earlier as Its aperture shifts and focuses. The rectangular casing which you are coming to realise might be its face jankily falls closer, startling a yelp out of you before Its frame falls still yet again with a hissing creak.

The stare off feels like it lasts forever, time at a laborious crawl as the lights keep dimming and brightening in measured breaths. The machine’s lens glowing as the light glints and shines off of it, traps the colour sinisterly in the glass as It bears down on you like a spotlight (you swear you can see your trembling reflection in Its red-tinted gaze).

As another pulse of red bleeds into the sea of dead air between you. Its shutter schlinks closed in what you can only guess is a facsimile of a blink, the sound gritty as though filled with sand between the blades. A swift but quiet be-beep following the grainy sound, digital and so loud against the stifling silence that you instinctively flinch back and closer against the door.

Round 1, Side A, Poll 6

Aurora ( @wretchedpunk ) VS. Ace Sinclaire ( @derelictheretic )

----

( art by wretchedpunk )

What is your baby's name? Pronouns?: Aurora, she/her

Is your baby from a fandom or original?: Fandom! DBZ :)

How old is your baby?: She's 6 and 1/2 !

Tell us about your baby!: Aurora’s King Cold and Pricot’s daughter! She’s a spoiled little princess and is really energetic. Every day for her is bring your daughter to work day because there’s a good chance she’s hanging out with Cold. Her interests include playing dress up, following her daddies around, and acting like she runs the world! She’s Cold and Pricot’s first and only (so far) biological child, and her half brothers are Cooler and Frieza! She thinks the world of them both.

Anything else you want to add?: This poll is so cute! <3

----

( art by derelictheretic )

What is your baby's name? Pronouns?: Ace Sinclaire, he/him

Is your baby from a fandom or original?: Ace is a Far Cry 5 fankid!

How old is your baby?: 4 years old.

Tell us about your baby!: Ace is a toddler, with simply toddler interests. He likes to play with his big sister and big brother, his favourite game is when they pick him up and fly him around like a little plane and make the engine noises for him. He loves making sandcastles, making mud castles, making shoe castles, just any kind of castle really. His dad thinks he likes castles.

His favourite time of day is dinner time because he's old enough for baby friendly dessert and his dad's baking is the best in the world. His favourite day is Saturday because everyone is home and he gets extra cuddles and sometimes his older brother convinces their dad to make a pillow fort and he gets super nap time cuddled up between his family.

His role model is his older brother who he and his sister follow around like baby ducklings. He likes stealing his hats and copying things he says and he hopes he can grow up just as cool as him.

In his original storyline he was born in the midst of a cult takeover of his hometown and his two dad's had the terrifying responsibility of protecting him through that but they made it out the other end and in the afterglow of five to six years underground, after bombs were set off and brought on the apocalypse, he becomes a cheeky, confident wild boy ready to forage for the family and inspect every animal he's never seen before.

In a newer au which I consider one of his canon storylines, he and his sister are adopted by their dad who had adopted their older brother (unrelated in this au) two years prior. They all move to Hope County when Ace is 2 and by the time Ace is 4 he is thrilled about having wild animals in his backyard and the weekly picnics and hikes they all go on. He's even more adventurous, having the confidence of a fully grown lion, supported by jot only his family but family friends that have taken all the Sinclaire kids under their wings.

Anything else you want to add?: Ace is the sweetest boy in the whole wide world and he is always smiling no matter what, he's a smart baby and is like an emotional support toddler for everyone around him, after a hug from his little baby arms they are free from sadness. He also likes to draw everyone he meets a picture of them, they're some of the most treasured stick people pictures in the County.

Baby Battle Go!

Aurora

Ace Sinclaire

Charlie for the oc ask?

Thank you! And since I got one for her Uncharted verse, I’ll do her Far Cry verse here. Also tagging @derelictheretic 🖤

01. Full name: Charlene “Charlie” Marie Berger

02. Best friend: @sstewyhosseini Sydney

03. Sexuality: Bisexual. Surprisingly she dated more women in the past. John is only one of two.

04. Favorite color: Forest green

05. Relationship status: Taken! Her and John have a very interesting marriage.

06. Ideal mate: Someone who sees her for who she is and loves her for it instead of shaming her.

07. Turn-ons: She likes unique voices and men that aren’t ridiculously tall lol. She’s also attracted to people who are incredibly confident, someone who walks in a room like they own it. Intelligence is also a plus too.

08. Favorite food: Chicken nuggies, cheesecake, breakfast food.

09. Crushes: Charlie doesn’t really get crushes. She just becomes immediately psychosexually obsessed with and hopes that the feeling is mutual. Luckily John was on the same wavelength when they met.

10. Favorite music: Indie pop and indie and alt rock.

11. Biggest fear: Being left behind or dying alone.

12. Biggest fantasy: Charlie has always fantasized about living a life where she never has to worry about how much things cost. She just wants a life where she can have a loving accepting partner and beautiful children in an environment that is safe, wherever that may be.

13. Bad habits: Being petty and jealous over little things that are inconsequential, lashing out when she feels hurt, and just being a bit lazy.

14. Biggest regret: Not killing her ex husband when she had the chance.

15. Best kept secrets: She doesn’t keep it secret from John or most of the project, but her violent nature was pretty well-hidden from most of the people she knew her whole life.

16. Last thought: “Is it really necessary to attend a sermon more than once a day?”

17. Worst romantic experience: Her five year marriage to Nolan. A few of those years were emotionally abusive, so much so that everything after that seemed like the world’s healthiest relationship.

18. Biggest insecurity: That deep down she’s unlovable.

19. Weapon of choice: A custom sniper rifle that John gifted her. It’s painted rose gold and has both a scope and silencer.

20. Role Model: No one! She doesn’t believe in them.

For the oc ship ask, and this is entirely because of the oc interview a while ago, lyra x burke?

LMAOOOO no their unstoppable force vs immovable object dichotomy makes this impossible to progress beyond anything but their present rapport (or lack thereof). she DOES have him rounded up by holly & matty and shoved into the drubman bunker while she's getting as many of the faithful to ground as she can before she ends the world. unclear if this is a tacit apology for making him put up with her or if it's a final torment.

(well. intended final torment. they're still both alive & well seventeen years later and once again working together. so. worsties for life.)
