Crys introduces Impes to the anons
Impes belongs to @1-800-roflmao
Your Valkyra wip is probably the most unique wip I've seen and I can't wait to hear more about it. I love fantasy war stories so this is probably perfect for me. Question: what different sides are fighting in the war? Is it two major countries with others backing them up/allying with them or several countries engaged in a war?
Thank you!
The Countries of Valkrya
The first side is Valkrya, ofc, which isn’t a huge country (probably about the size of France or similar). They’re in the central continent of this fantasy world (which is sort of connected to the eastern continent, but only by unlivable tundra), which is known as a pretty cool mix of cultures from all the surrounding places. Valkrya is the most powerful country on that continent, mostly because of resources and historically they were the first established country. They have alliances with the other country on the continent Papillia, a smaller country (there is another “country” on that continent - Aysgarth - but it’s sort of similar to the idea of the Vatican City, it’s just a very small religious territory). They also have an alliance with Terra (that’s the Palpryan (Papillian-Valkryan) name, locals there call it something different) which is the largest country on the western continent. By the beginning of the novel though, Valkrya has begun to lose much of its power due to poor economic decisions and is much weaker than it was before.
The other country, the one who actually started the war, is Impes. Impes is generally viewed as “the bad country” by a lot of the world’s population after a history of violence and has no alliances because of it. Nearly 200 years before the events of Valkrya, Impes invaded Terra (from the western side, travelling across the mostly empty sea there and avoiding the Valkrya/Papillia continent). This was nothing but a territory and power grab, done so at that time because Terra had a newly formed parliament and was still getting its footing. Luckily they were able to beat back their invaders, with some help ultimately for the (then) Palpryan Allied Forces who were able to make it across the ocean in time for the final fighting. After returning home the losers, Impes was hit with severe political repercussions such as the ending on trade and so on. For nearly 200 years they struggled on, with some efforts made by other countries to help the lower classes there (who were generally screwed over for the sake of the nobility) that rarely succeeded. At the beginning of Valkrya, the king of Impes recognises the political strife Valkrya is in and decides that after years of spending nearly all the government’s money on military they are ready to try invasion again. Most of Impes’ nobility are greedy opportunists and supported this move. Impes does not actually enforce conscription in most areas but there is a lot of anger among the public who don’t really realise that their own government is the cause of their problems due to propaganda. When Impes declares war on Valkrya, Terra, now thriving, agrees to help them fight. They are met with some resistance from Papillia however, as they are recovering from disease and are indecisive about entering a war. I should mention that Impes’ government is just the king and the nobles, whereas the other countries all have parliaments and sometimes monarchs.
I hope this answers your questions, thanks for asking! Sorry it’s super long, I might have got a bit carried away o.o
Overwhelmed ||
This an Impes fic I wrote real quick today inspired by @kalquinn . It's an old idea I had involving Prey/Predator kink, but the prey gets overwhelmed and the scene has to end. It's wholesome aside from the slasher chase in the beginning. Impes a cheeky shit.
Impes and Mikael are my OCs.
Pre-established Poly Relationship.
I needed a break from smut.
Wet blades of grass and cold soil rubbed against your cheek and naked skin exposed by your tangled pajama shirt and shorts. That wasn’t right… your eyes flew open and you sucked in a panicked breath at the thick darkness that surrounded you. For a while, you couldn’t see anything and your panic only rose at the lack of visual stimulation.
Finally, you could start to perceive vague shapes in the inky world and you eased up onto your elbows to look around. You couldn’t see any lights nearby.
Reaching a hand out to feel one of the shapes, you felt rough bark under your cautious fingertips and frowned. Tilting your head back, you noted the dark blanket above you with just the barest cracks to let in moonlight.
Standing to your feet, you cringed as your bare feet settled into the damp ground. You hated not being able to see clearly what was under foot. You just prayed no creepy crawlies or anything else would cross your path or… were on you already.
You shuddered and reflexively brushed off your shoulders and any part of you could reach, straightening out your shirt along the way.
The sound of something snapping had you perking and jerking to face the direction it came from. You just stared. You weren’t about to investigate. No, whatever was there could come to you if something was there anyway.
Kinda hyperfixated on Pokemon and had to draw my OCs as mons. Got Crook and Chaos as Toxtricities, Amped and Low Key respectively; Ludo as a Sableye; Conejita as a Lopunny; Impes as a Pangoro; and Micael as a Milotic.
Just a lil obsessed. Have some gesture drawings of Trainer Rof at various points in her life with her baby pokemon.
What kind of hugs do you OCs give?
This is adorable!
Mikael: Gentle giant. His hugs are comforting and soul warming. He's not going to crush you, it's more looping his arms around you and surrounding you, gives you the chance to close the distance and snuggle in if you want.
Impes: Another gentle giant, but one that will pick you up and hold you close. Loves having you sit on his forearms and wrap your arms around his neck so he can nuzzle or rest his chin on the top of your head. His hugs make you feel safe.
Ludo: His favorite kind of hug to give is where he just drapes himself over you, long arms resting on your shoulders, and chin on top of your head. Second favorite is the ambush hug where he snatches you up and cages you in with his whole body, like you're his personal teddy bear. This giant's hugs will have you feeling complex emotions.
Chaos: Warm, intimate, and there is no room between you two. When he hugs, he likes to rest his forehead against yours and he'll either be wearing a playful smirk or a dreamy, wistful smile. (Second option if he's really excited, he will give you a spot of whiplash as he picks you up and twirls you around)
Crook: This grump doesn't really do hugs. You'd have to initiate it and he will begrudgingly let you, while he just pets the top of your head with a snort. Side hugs are his go to if he really needs to initiate.
Conejita: Most likely you're the one hugging her and she's just leaning into it, possibly falling asleep. If she's awake though and buzzing with energy, she loves to surprise you by her locking her arms around you and lifting you up, then jumping up and down. Enjoy the ride lol. Hugging her feels like hugging a stuffie, but when she's energetic, it feels like you're on a fair ride, exhilarating and joyful.
