#flora d'splora

[procrastinatingtitan]

So...would the existence of Flora D'splora and her work as a historian that really rewrites history to fit the narrative of the empire also imply she has a cousin who is a beast-keeping witch but actually a dick to animals, as well as a nemesis who constantly getting in Flora's way and retaking stolen artifacts from the empire?

sigh...Can't believe we never got to see Viego D'Splora and Snatcher the Fox Burglar /joke

Chapter 3 Excerpt (below the Keep Reading)

Morning came too soon, its arrival announced by the blaring ringing of an alarm clock. Masha’s eyes snapped open and they tried to sit up and silence the horrible noisemaker’s cacophony. However, they found themselves unable to move much at all. There was a moment of panic, though it faded away quickly as they realized the predicament they were in.

In their morning grogginess, they had somehow forgotten that they were not alone in the bed. Now, that bed was not meant for two people, so it was bound to be cramped, but Vee had had maybe taken things a step too far.

Facing each other, Vee’s arms were tightly locked around Masha’s body and her tail tangled in their legs. Their back was against the wall while Vee’s was out towards the room, almost like she was shielding them. Her face was nuzzled against Masha’s shoulder and she was beginning to slowly stir, groaning as the alarm’s incessant yowls invaded her dreams.

”Foul screaming demon,” she muttered.

”No, that’s just the alarm,” Masha said.

This got Vee’s attention. She opened her eyes, sky blue and sunshine yellow meeting Masha’s earthy brown.

”Good morning,” Masha said, a smile playing on their lips as they watched Vee’s face turn a deeper color. Goddess, she was so cute.

”Uh…” Vee quickly let go of Masha and did her best to untangle her tail from their legs. Finally able to move properly, Masha sat up and turned off the infernal alarm.

”S-sorry about that,” Vee mumbled, avoiding eye contact. ”I, um… constrictor instinct?”

Masha narrowed their eyes.

”I’m beginning to think you’re making that up”

”Maybe~” Vee said with a sly smile.

There was a moment of silence before they both burst out laughing, instantly dispelling the awkward tension between them.

Their mood shifted from jovial to sheer panic when their laughing fit was interrupted by a knock on the door.

”Masha, Luz?” sounded a voice through the door; it was mom. ”You two awake?” she asked, as if she hadn’t heard them laughing.

A handful of headcanons.

Lilith is canonically aroace, but I also hc her as non-partnering (so she’s not interested in non-romantic partnerships either)

Lilith: non-partnering, aroace; trans

Steve: uranic, grayrose (gray aro + gray ace); trans

Amber: lesbian

Katya: aego aroace

Derwin: aroace

Bump: bi (of some kind)

Flora: non-partnering, aro, lesbian

Steve could just be labelled as bi or poly, or as toren (men + nb attraction), but uranic is even more specific (men + masc nb + unaligned nb + genderless ppl attraction). Tbh I could probably use uranic as a prefix, like ‘uranic bi’ or ‘uranic poly’, the same way toren can be used.

Also the only reason I have a headcanon for Flora is because she’s literally wearing lesbian flag colors.

OMG THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BY LILITH’S FORMER MENTOR!!

Also, IS THIS HOW HER NAME IS SPELLED OUT?????

Also also, how the hell does Flora know about the Last Titan? Is this something the Emperor’s coven is also looking into? It wouldn’t surprise me, but it’s interesting.

That face when you are at a party you don’t want to attend, but you pretend to enjoy yourself.

Also, Lilith looks so adorkable in her season 2B design.
