Jo you've sealed the deal, I am OBSESSESSED!!!!

I honestly didn't want to give af about orm but ffff this hits many sparks in my brainheart omggggggg

I can't belieeeeeve you're gonna make me rewatch the damn aquam/n movies, but I have to stan Orm now!!!

thank god for specialized aquam*n wiki to say the bone guys are called deserters with their own vampiric blood eating habits , but i didn't even think ofc they would inherit orm features!!!!!

marius hiding himself in the sand, the attack instincts, the injured instincts, the lovable strangeness

Orm's love and anger, the whole base of this, I LOVE it!!!

Arthur just seems like a necessary evil at this point lmao like yeah sure but i kinda don't give af WHERE is the father and other children, I love it so 😭😭😭

u really had god tier vision with one jo

I had to repost it bc i need it in my inbox and word doc and yeah you got me with this one jo, bullseye

Orvax divorcing Orm, he gets sent to the Deserters to be married off to Dharlath. Orm tells him this will end in disaster—the moment they're married political players will try to make a widow out of Orm so they can marry Orm and get his claim to the throne.

'What do you even get out of this?'

Dharlath said Atlantis promised to send aid, there's an illness and they can't lose more of their population

'And how do you know they'll keep their promises?'

Dharlath tilted his head. 'That's your job.'

Orm laughs.

Also thinking for most Deserters they don't do much for marriage, just move into a new home, but for Orm they pulled out all the stops. Antique wedding goblet they had to hastily clean up, the best animal from their herd slaughtered and the blood poured into the goblet. The couple is meant to bite their fingers and drip their blood into the goblet, then drink, but Orm doesn't have a Deserter's sharp fangs so either ceremonial dagger from Atlantis or Dharlath does it for him 👀 Dharlath is impressed his little bride can keep a straight face drinking the blood. Also Dharlath telling Orm's girls to come over and he holds their hands as he drips the blood from the cup, smtg smtg promise to protect and take care of them and that's the first genuine smile Orm had during the whole ceremony 🥺

Dharlath kept his promise, naming Dag and killing the man who tried to assassinate Orm's girls before kidnapping Orm himself

Soul warmed reading this

banter with Dharlath so lovely, the blod/fang ritual sooo inspired (intimate smallscale blood letting ✅✅✅), Orm taking on traditions with gusto, first real smile 😭❤️

...if Orm gets railed long and hard enough does his slit stay soft and open and swollen instead of firmly closed over his p*ssy

I mean...

[prevarchive]

All this talk about hair...is there a long-haired Patrick Wilson or Freddie Fox role

I'm prodding the 'Orm not allowed to push the Deserters away with his chained hands and that's why he got fucked facedown they know it feels terribly humiliating for him' brain worm hoping I'd get inspired to finish the fic

we really lost when they didn't style Orm's long hair, huh?

also the phantom wig is just a laugh

ironically looked better in the promo

anyway, we can always dream

as for chain fic, i have meager contribution that part of the appeal is this is new helplessness for orm, and his conditions are part of a technicality that he has the super strength that toes the line of his situation being humiliating but in a just past control level, the feeling of humiliation mixed with strange excitement, but i forget if you want orm's punishment to feel, if for a moment or the whole time, as real gutwrenching humiliation he hates that gets better later, or something that dances on power dynamics he has a love hate relationship with, or something else lmao let me shut up.

Orm: *insecure about the baby weight*

Dharlath: but you can contain so much more blood this way!

among other reasons:

[prevarchive]

Dharlath 'my people only consumes blood' and Orm 'lost his mother very young and had many staff raise him' Marius: what is weaning?

Like what if they'd been feeding Marius exclusively liquids until the kid suddenly starts chowing fish on a trip to the beach, and they realize he should have been eating other things

meanwhile arthur would be like: no yeah, with you two, that tracks lmaooooooo

[prevarchive]

For their first anniversary Dharlath gives Orm rings meant to represent his two daughters and mother, and that's the moment Orm decided he wants to try for a baby with his husband

Marius was born 11 months later. Dharlath makes another ring.

the mental vignette of the weight of orm's stare taking in the rings is so clear to me 😭

the mental vignette of orm's legs wrapping around dharlath's waist is also clear to me 🤤

[prevarchive]

Camped beside my glowing rectangle of dopamine irregulation waiting for your Romulus stuff lol

Meanwhile

Marius my GOAT

Upon reflection canon Arthur ships and my Arthur ships like somebody with big chests 🤔

Meanwhile orm there t/ts fully out I’m like ohh I think I hauve covid

Marius going crazy while Arthur holds him upside down tickled me 😂

I’m fond of translucent Marius feature so much idk y

As it is fascinated baby being fascinate with other baby also tickles me

Putting this under desertersxorm for practicality but def need a verse name omg maybe mariusverse
