sry if im sending too many asks but what are ur plans for the third season of Priesthoods and Beasthoods?

suchhhhh a late response, sorry friend, my very own college junior year hit my like a train. it's taking a long time, but rest assured, aasimar au jy is well under way! as far as what my actual plans are, I will be vague for spoiler reasons, but I'm going to be deviating pretty severely from canon in terms of plot, and there is a major Riz-Kristen-Fig arc that will be very important. Sklonda is also going to get a plot! three cheers for Sklonda! as of now I would guesstimate that I am probably 1/3 of the way through writing it, and it will probably post in arc installments. I am hoping to maybe start posting the first arc later this summer, god willing and the creek don't rise

anyway, have a little snippet. as a treat <3

So they all sit, and Riz stretches Fabian’s battle sheet from the side of the tipped Hangvan to where Gorgug has staked the Heavy Metal Axe blade-first into the dirt, so that they don’t all burn to a crisp. Adaine pulls water bottles out of her jacket and passes them around, and Riz pulls granola bars out of his briefcase, and passes them around. It’s a testament to their post-battle exhaustion that no one complains that the chocolate chips have gone melty in the desert heat. 

Finally, after a few minutes of more or less silence as everyone turns their granola bars into crumbs and their water bottles into crinkly sheaths of empty plastic, Riz asks, “So, what now?” 

“We should take a road trip,” says Fig, attempting to comb dust out of Adaine’s hair, and mostly just smearing liquified chocolate chip residue in it instead. “Like, a real road trip. One where people aren’t conspiring to kill us and we don’t have to hike through a damn Nightmare Forest and nobody dies. And we can do whatever stupid shit we want and the world won’t end about it.” 

“Just by saying the world won’t end about it, you’ve jinxed us,” says Fabian, pointing his empty water bottle at her. 

“No, I haven’t,” she says. “Come on. Just for like, a week? We’re already out here. Might as well enjoy it, right? Besides, I want to hang out with you all before you go away to dance camp and Adaine finds a job and Riz starts converting his office into a joint conspiracy nook and prayer booth and vanishes inside, never to be seen again.” 

“I’m not converting my office,” he says. “I can already pray at my desk.” 

Kristen boos. “Where is the sacredness?” 

“You prayed over a matcha protein shake this morning,” he shoots back, kicking her in the side. “Shut up.” 

“Touché.” 

“Come on,” Fig wheedles. “Please? One week. Just one week, and we stop in a couple places on the way back to Solace. I want us to do like, a normal friend thing.”

Shame swoops through Riz’s stomach. He sometimes doesn’t feel like he’s good at doing the normal friend things. He’s dragged them along through half their summer to save the world again, and now he’s dreading more that it’s done. What does he do with the rest of his summer now? 

Now, he finally starts learning Braille, he supposes. It shouldn’t scare him as much as it does.

“I feel like one week won’t make or break anything,” Adaine says. “Sure. Let’s do it.” 

Fabian sighs. “I don’t know.”

“Loser,” Adaine prods. “Flake. Come on a road trip with us. You have two weeks before dance camp, you absolute poser. We all know you want to come, you’re just dragging your feet to be dramatic.” 

“Adaine, you’re being mean,” says Gorgug, but he doesn’t sound like he disagrees. 

“Road trip!” Kristen chants, pumping her arms, forcing Riz to dodge to the side to avoid being smacked. “Road trip! Road trip! Road trip!” 

Fabian sighs again, even louder and gustier this time. “Fine, road trip. Because I love you all very much, even when you are being blatantly and intentionally annoying.” 

“VICTORY!” shouts Kristen. She high-fives Adaine. 

“All in favor of a super quick and cool road trip on our way back for like one week?” Fig asks. “Yea, or nay?” 

“Yea!” everyone choruses, more or less in sync. 

“Now, let’s all get into the damn air conditioning,” says Kristen, “before we all pass out from heatstroke. Cleric’s orders.”

Hello!! I just wanted to pop in and say I LOVE the instagram fic companion to the assimar au so so much. I’ve probably reread it about 7 times (and I am going back for yet another reread now lol). Out of curiosity (and hopefully providing no pressure), are you still considering a sophomore year version of the insta fic? I would be satisfied reading and rereading the freshman year version, but I sense that a sophomore year one would possibly even top freshman year’s, if that is even possible. Hoping you have a fabulous day or night!! <33

AHHHH INSTA FIC MY BELOVED

anyway yes, there is a sophomore year insta fic sitting in my wip folder. it has not been touched for many months because it takes a lot of brainpower to format and to keep track of all the different OCs I have established. and also because it is slightly less silly goofy, since social media was actually a plot point for sy (say hello, Kalina!)

if inspiration strikes, perhaps I will finish and publish that some time this summer. in the meantime have a little snippet for being such a big fan of my silly goofy sideplot

aguefortadventuringacademyofficial Earlier today, Principal Arthur Aguefort of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy engaged in unsanctioned magical violence in the emergency defense of an unnamed student of the Academy. At this time the Aguefort Adventuring Academy has no comment on which student he was protecting, or any related international incidents. When asked for a general comment, Aguefort only had to say, “My bad! I forgot that maybe the sun shouldn’t be moved like that.” For continued updates, you may follow this account or follow live updates on the international status of the AAA.

maxieboy to only say “my bad” after you nearly tear the sun out of the fucking sky is such a power move tbh

alabasterdick yeah fuck the system and everything but we gotta respect the pull

tellyharper56 guys this is so fucking serious they’re pulling back funding for the whole fucking school because aguefort pissed off the nation of fallinel

luckypenny well the good news is that they almost certainly can’t disband the whole school because the AAA is at the nexus of a lot of important magical wards for the material plane!

youngbl00d yeah tbh that’s honestly even more fucked like. please put all the magical safeguards in a place where there maybe aren’t children???? going to school?????

icecreamismypatron I will make a bet of ten million gold pieces that this has something to do with the bad kids

halleywillowbough Tira no one is going to take that bet. We know we would lose

annabling ……. can i say something totally awful???

priscillababe please do

annabling I didn’t even notice that the sky went all wonky because I’m so used to being in the faewilds that an unexpected and alarming astronomical event didn’t even like. register for me. I didn’t even look up from my homework I was just like ‘same old same old, guess somebody pissed off queen alernei again’

icecreamismypatron OKAY THANK THE GODS both ali and I had the same lack of reaction and for a second I was like “maybe something is wrong with us” but this makes me feel better

darlingdiala well I mean there is something definitely wrong with you three but that’s just how it goes for A parties at the AAA

icecreamismypatron YOU THINK WE’RE AN A PARTY???????!!!?!?!??!?!

hopperplease tira arent you literally engaged to the prince of the mountainhold

annabling yeah but that doesn’t count for fucking shit while I’m here. I called dibs. asshole

hi i just wanted to say your aasimar is genuinely one of the best things ive ever read. the care and love you have for the characters and the story and what they have for each other is so so so evident in every word and phrase and its beautiful. you should be insanely proud. i’m reading it for the third time and every time i do it just gets more incredible

SUCHHHH a late response, sorry friend, but thank you thank you thank you!! it's always so fun to hear that your passion project has given someone else so much joy. reading it for the third time is so impressive, that series is LONG. anyway, thank you friend!!! <3

[whatisamildopinion]

can you tell me even more about Aasimar Riz AU? pretty please?

gimme all the lore >:3

*sweating bullets trying to remember what I haven't already spilled*

uhhhhh okay here you go. some aasimar au musings

-as always, I am back on my language and dialect bullshit (language majors let's gooooo). let's talk about goblin vocals! I talk a lot about overtones and undertones in goblin noises, so what do I actually visualize that as? I think of goblins as actually having two different types of systems that make noise. the first, overtones, all come from the throat and vocal chords like most speech, but the second system is deeper in the chest, and makes much deeper sounds, to the point where many species can't pick up on them. and technically these systems don't use air in the same way to produce sound, so in goblin speech patterns, they combine overtones (spoken word) with undertones (low vibrational tones with different intonation and layering) to achieve complicated kinds of tone and register. the people who are capable of hearing it when riz uses them though, are pretty limited. sklonda and pok, obviously, can hear it. kalina can also def hear goblin undertones, much to riz's dismay. tracker and jawbone can also mostly hear undertones, and so can gorthalax. demons also have a type of undertone, but it actually goes in the other direction. instead of being lower than the most commonly heard frequencies, it pitches higher than the most commonly heard frequencies. by the time junior year rolls around, fig is developing a wider hearing range and undertone abilities (bc archdevil) and she and riz are always just out together making sub-noises at one another. cut to all the other bad kids like "what the Actual Fuck are you two doing???"

-on a related note to vocals, goblin language is interesting to learn for people who don't have undertones. and by interesting I mean that you kind of can't ever sound fully fluent without undertones. yvoni is pretty fluent in goblin because she kinda picked it up while riz was young and she learned along with him naturally. she's accepted that she has no undertones, and jokes about having an accent in goblin. kristen also starts picking up some goblin from riz, and it drives her absolutely crazy that she can't do the subtones. she's always making noises and being like "riz, did I do it? did I do it?" (she did not do it but he loves her anyway.)

-Sneak Attack is a once per turn action, so even with Haste riz doesn't get sneak attack more than once per turn, so eventually his preferred method of battle will become casting Haste, taking one turn per round to snipe the shit out of an enemy on the battlefield, and then skipping across the battlefield to one of his friends like "hi :))))) I'm gonna heal you now :))))))". he's an absolute terror. he likes having heals So So much

-Riz's aasimar markings, with the clear lines and high visibility, are specifically indicative that he is descended from a risen soul. if pok were a true celestial, his aasimar heritage would manifest differently. in my head, if pok were a true celestial from the get-go, riz wouldn't have the markings like he has, but rather, his skin would just be like. vaguely iridescent all over, and his hair would probably be more metallic. he actually looks a lot more mortal in his form with markings than he would have if pok were born celestial

-riz's wings and halo have actually changed since freshman year. they have a tendency to manifest at least a little differently every time he summons them, but they also change gradually over time. by the time junior year rolls around, they still look very stained glass, but they're starting to look more three-dimensional as opposed to two-dimensional. this probably means nothing. maybe.

-probably this is already evident, but because it is important it bears repeating. aasimar au pok is VERY, VERY different from canon pok. aasimar au pok had the very specific experience of dying young and proceeding to workaholic his way through the afterlife as well, and built up a bunch of ideas about how much he wasted his life while he had it. meeting riz, a fully grown kid that he never knew about, is an ice-cold wake-up call from the universe saying, "look, here, look. this is everything you never stopped to appreciate in life, as you chased power and prestige and died on the altar of a government that didn't so much as mourn you when you were gone." it's brutal. it's unforgiving. he realizes he's got a long, long way to go, but it's not over yet. canon pok is devastated by his death, of course, but he's content with what he did and the family that he had. he's waiting for sklonda and riz, even though he knows (hopes) that he'll be waiting for a long time. aasimar au pok is. not that. he got a glimpse of a life that passed him by for SIXTEEN YEARS and when given even an inch of leeway, he dove back toward that life headfirst. aasimar au pok, in sophomore and junior year, is very, very preoccupied with existing in the fleeting moments of his life, in a way that he very much was not before. so his relationship with riz and sklonda and the others ends up being markedly different in some important ways. despite being more connected to Bytopia, the aasimar au family is pulling away from the afterlife much more strongly than the canon gukgak family is. they're all very focused on material plane life.

I hope this scratches some of your itch!!
