Lex turned to Whiskey, smiling at him. "Yeah? What's up?" She asked.

no post today only technoblade plushie made to look like juno steel
wow this is late
look i’ve been Suffering™ irl anyways. onto the main event here
would your oc know the goat kid with the cards??????
i mean. i’m not gonna say no, but it’s kind of a stretch.
the tl;dr of what you need to know about their Talent and Stuff is that
they’re one of like, three or four (maybe five?) people that joint run a small tarot shop in ikebukuro — if you live around there then hey we can probably work something out
It’s, like i said, really small and unassuming from the outside, one of those almost-tacky feeling psychic advisor places with the neon signs and kitschy look to em. they give out spiritual guidance (not just tarot, although that’s what velvet feels the strongest connection to— they’ve got palmistry and astrology stuff as well), mostly, but they also sell crystals and tea blends and decks that they import in! the shop looks small from the outside, and it is pretty cramped in there, but it’s three stories tall.
they’ve got local notoriety—yeah, there are skeptics, and people who think their setup is kinda tacky, but divination is popular, especially among young teens/adults and middle-aged businessfolk looking for advice, and velvet (in particular, people who are repeat customers will request them if they’re available)’s got a reputation for being like, scarily accurate. something about them just seems really in touch with what they’re doing? people tend to have good experiences talking to them, even if they can be a little... weird.
so yeah. unless you’re one of the locals from around there, you probably won’t know much about them. the only other thing i can think of that might make them recognizable is that? their roommate is a youtuber that does nail art / nail art tutorials, and sometimes they’ll make an appearance in their videos to provide an extra set of hands to work on (or to grab drinks for them when they’re struggling halfway through one of those “100 coats of _____” challenges), but. yeah
wow typing this up it feels really ?????? what the hell lex but i promise my shit is together i’m just rushing through this post and not referencing my notes if you want clarification on anything please ask because i’ll probably make another post later getting down and dirty with the specifics of their talent and stuff
OH YEAH ALSO SHIT I FORGOT THAT VELVET’S A HUGE FURRY they don’t currently have a fursuit and they aren’t the best artist in the world but if your oc does a lot of furry art and/or spends time at conventions it is..... possible..... that velvet will recognize them
i’m gonna clear stuff up more in their 35 facts meme i just want to get this stuff out in a timely manner so i don’t drag behind everyone else lol
I realize that I post a lot of Vespa, Nureyev, and Juno. I would apologize but no <3
Hello???? Oh my god?????? This blog is gaining traction way faster than I thought it would??????? Y'all are amazing I adore every single one of you khskwhdkagdkahdkahdksh 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖
Is there like??? Anything special y'all want as a follower milestone????
WAIT I HAVE AN IDEA
Here is a peek into a fic I'm working on! yes it is in comic sans I randomly change fonts until I find one that makes my brain happy again.
High chance of me never finishing the fic but it's here now!
[ID: A screenshot of a Google doc, narrating a story.
"Mistah Steel! There's someone waiting out here for you!" Rita's voice snapped [Juno] out of his thoughts with a light shake of his head- he needed a moment to get ready. Clear his mind, prepare for whoever was out there.
Of course... it was still a shock when a tall, mysterious individual stepped into his office, clearly having walked right past his secretary- a rather flustered miss Rita.]
Note: There is a bit of deviation from the screenshot and the text but it's edits I decided to make upon rereading and I just did Not feel like going all the way back into the doc to edit and take a nearly identical screenshot.
Extra tidbits on the story: It is an AU, it is set at the very beginning of the story, and I have already prepared Sadness
HELLO????? WHEN DID YOU GET HERE??????????
OKay. okay. So, in honor of reaching triple digits in follower count I'm going to finish the first chapter of my fic and post it
Update: Posted, here
introductions!
wow, look at me, getting this done early so i don’t have to worry about it later
congratulations on getting in, everybody, and welcome to cinereus! some of you are familiar with me at this point, but i know a bunch of you aren’t, so i figured a proper introduction post would be in order! y’know. to introduce myself.
my name is lex— i’m comfortable with all pronouns but usually use they/them the most often— and i’m one of the mods this round! i’ve never been in one of the BDB games, but i’ve been around for a looooooong time. four years now, i think? yeah. some big name games you might recognize me from are:
Doubt Academy 2: Black — Shizuka Fujiwara
Doubt Academy 3: Omega — Usoko Tsuki
Doubt Academy 4: Rot — Kenshin Takayuki
Doubt Academy 5: Mizu — Haru Uotani
Semester of Desolation I — Damodara Chaudary
Semester of Desolation II — Kimiko Narita
please tag dental trauma, whether it be visual or written. there are some other things that i’m not comfortable with, that i’m choosing not to put on the triggers/squicks list because they’re either incredibly specific, situational, unlikely to come up at all, and/or something i can easily duck out for without it being too big of a deal. i’ll let you know in private if something small like that bothers me. thumbs up emoji. likewise, if i forget to tag anything, please message me and i’ll immediately fix it! i do the large majority of my posting during the day on mobile, so it’s easy for me to mess up.
this is my first time modding anything, so please be gentle with me! i’m also a #freshie in my first year of university, and my mental health / stress levels are generally a hot mess. the state of the world around us ain’t helping. i’ll make a post either here or on twitter when i need to step back from mod duties (or thread replies) for a few days, whether it be for health reasons or schoolwork reasons, but i’ll most likely still be trying to do behind the scenes work. figured i might as well make that clear early on, because i know this semester is pretty busy for me as of right now.
i’m always available to talk to, if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to talk about ocs or aus or anything. i love all of these kids a lot and i cried multiple times when reading their apps. i also want to try and thread with everybody, if possible! so pleeeease don’t be intimidated by me! i’m just a tired lex trying my best.
i do a lot of the design work around these parts, especially with promos and blog themes! i might also be helping with maps. not sure there yet. i also care a lot about making sure that all of our coding and graphics are accessible for all players, so please message me if you have any concerns— whether you would like font sizes to be larger or more otherwise readable, if a background is too busy or eye-strain-y, or if there needs to be more contrast between background and text.
i’m also playing velvet welch, the super high school level tarot card reader. there’s gonna be another post about them sometime in the next week or two, depending on when i initially post this, so as not to make this one longer than it needs to be. they use they/them pronouns.
if you need other methods of contacting me (other than my skype, which— although I plan on adding everyone in the game over the first few days— i would prefer you ask for in private), then i can also be reached on my twitter or my personal blog! keep in mind that i check my blog’s inbox less often than my twitter dms, but i try to be fairly active on it nonetheless.
i hope y’all enjoy everything we have in store for you! it’s gonna be great! >:3c
all of you people picking associated major arcanas in your 35 facts memes are killing me because screams loudly at my relationship page
