The S.S. Vriscord is cele8r8ing it's One Year (~0.46 Sweep) Anniversary!
The h8rs said it couldn't 8e done, 8ut we did it. The #1 space for Vriskas, Araneas, Mindfangs, and other Serkets on the we8 (heh) is officially one year old! (August 18th, 2024 - August 18th, 2025)
In honor of the 8ig day, we've made some quality of life changes, including new graphics, a Year 1 vanity role for veteran mem8ers (ya snooze, ya lose!!!!!!!!), and an easier on8oarding process! All you need to do now is to read the rules, join the linked Discord, and fill out the questionnaire!
Haven't heard of us? We're an 18+ Discord server and close-knit community of primarily transfeminine Serket kins, fictives, etc. 8rought together 8y our shared identity and pride in 8eing Serkets.
This is not a fandom server. This is a community 8uilt 8y Serkets, for Serkets.
A bit about the hair: the blue is only dyed on the underside, so whenever he goes out as Nightwing, he puts his hair up in a tight bun or something and can hide it👍
courtesy @kyoryu (formerly a mod) there's lots of things but this is the story we all ultimately go for:
spinel loved chuck e cheese until she started working there. she needs to pay for clown school SOMEHOW. she’s the mascot and also yeah the pizza is recycled stop asking her (she still eats it)
pink pearl (aka peeps) works at fancy coffee shop place across the street and sees this goth emo clown walk into work all the time and since she has garbage taste she’s like “WHOA…CHEESE GIRL IS CUTE”
yellow pearl and blue pearl worked at fancy coffee shop with peeps but then yellowp got fired because she’s a bitch and kept lashing out at costumers akdjskdk and bluep quit for the lols and both end up working at chuck e cheese with spinel... because we said so. yellowp hates it even more than spinel does.
bluep just wants peeps and spinel to hook up already this is ridiculous because at this point spinel and peeps are friends and spinel goes get horribly expensive coffee at the shop just to see peeps 😔✊ and she's a mess and always gets nervous and more than once she's tripped and dropped her expensive coffee. A clown, truly
yellow diamond is the manager of chuck e cheese. blue diamond is the manager of fancy coffee shop place. white diamond is the insufferable landlady of both places. pink diamond is the brat child of yellow diamond and runs around the chuck e cheese firing people just because she can.
that’s why pink ends up firing spinel via text without an explanation and oh Spinel Is Fucking Pissed and calls peeps to tell her they're gonna go burn down chuck e cheese. peeps, oh so innocent peeps, thought this was a date and got dressed up thinking they were just gonna egg the chuck e cheese and then go hold hands somewhere
but when she shows up spinel has gasoline with her and peeps is suddenly very nervous because oh fuck she’s serious. spinel worked as the mascot so she breaks in and steals the suit (she loves that thing) and THEN they burn down the chuck e cheese
they watch the fire while holding hands and stare into each other’s eyes and peeps is like hey this wasn’t so bad. i got the girl. but then there’s police sirens and they get arrested by jasper because she's a cop in this au. yeah
then they either 1) go to jail for arson or 2) jasper gets emotional because this clown in the backseat of her car got a cute tall girlfriend so if she can then DAMMIT SO CAN SHE and lets them go. then they join the circus after the events of either of the first two options
also cg pearl is in the au too. she has a flower shop. no she is in no way relevant but she’s happy and that's important

king of bling, 7:19AM: like the beach?
monster, 7:19AM: no better way to challenge ourselves than to change up the terrain!
The sand certainly was different. Greed had played only a few unofficial games of sand volleyball, and realized his attacks were basically useless without the typical give of a finished court. Greed based a lot of his movements off the vibration of that court. He measured his attacks in the force needed to fly off the ground. Sand, though, lended him no such niceties. It made him pay attention to the ball, of all things.
“You gotta take your shoes off, Greedy boy.” Envy tittered from his place beyond the row of rocks he’d set as the court dimensions. He was sloughing his shoes and socks off so fast that you’d think they were suffocating him. “The game’s not the same otherwise.”
Greed glared at him but slipped his shoes off anyway. He thought about leaving his socks on but didn’t want them to fill with sand. And he wasn’t certain that if they did fill with sand he’d ever be able to get it all out. He stuffed his socks up into the toes of his sneakers and stepped onto the “court.”
His feet sunk to his ankles. Sand, grainy and warm from a day of soaking up the ocean sun, took up residence between his toes. When the wind blew, he heard the tides pulling against the earth, and felt droplets of water and sand hit his face and settle in his hair. It wasn’t long before he tasted the ocean on his lips, bit into the tiny granules of sand as they filtered between his teeth and into his mouth. It was equally unpleasant and pleasant, this sensation. Someone slapped him on the back and broke him from his thoughts.
“Three-on-three,” Envy grinned. His teeth looked extraordinarily bright in the white morning light.
“How will we have a three-on-three without Pride here? Or, you know, Greedling? There are only four of us.”
“Pride is here, you dunce. You were just too engrossed in yourself to notice.” Envy swung his arm in an arc, and Pride was on the other side of the net. Shorty was doing stretches in the sand, which almost swallowed him halfway up his calves. “And Greedling should be here soon. He turned notifications for the group text off cuz he thinks we’re annoying as all hell, but I texted him a while ago. He said he’d take a leisurely jog out here.”
Greed blinked. A leisurely jog for Greedling from where he lived was, like, twenty minutes on a good day. Maybe today was one of Greedling’s good days, although Greed doubted it. The two of them — Greed and Greedling — were named for their similarities. Despite being a third year and Greedling a first, the two were nearly identical in everything but nationality. That was all right. Greedy as Greed was, he wasn’t too bothered by sharing with others. He liked to think volleyball taught him that.
Greed did a few warm up laps barefoot along the perimeter of the beach as he waited for everyone to arrive. The sand was unforgiving, but there was something to be said about the wet air and the way it coated his throat, the way it tasted on his tongue. Greedling had arrived midway through Greed’s final lap and they lined up on either side of the net: Pride, Sloth, and Greedling on one side, their backs to the sun, and Greed, Gluttony, and Envy on the other. Without Coach Bradley, they’d have no way of knowing if anything they did was worthwhile during this impromptu bright-as-shit practice. And without Lust they were bound to break out into an argument or twelve, but Greed reasoned that, at the very least, some practice was better than none.
Greedling took the first serve. It flew over the net so fast Greed could hardly follow the ball with his eyes. Without their libero, Pride, he was almost certain the ball was going to slam into the sands and send it spraying up and out in all directions. Instead, Envy caught the serve on his forearms and it flew a few feet into the air. Gluttony, his massive arm swinging out in an equally massive arc, scooped the ball up, up, up. Greed barely knew where it was when he leapt and hit it, instantly feeling the satisfying sting of the ball smacking into his palm.
It soared past Pride, throwing sand over the rock boundary line. Pride looked to the ball and then to Greed and back again, smirking.
