💛💛💛 Valentine’s for my beloved girlfriend @protectiveforce, whom I adore just as much as Dirk adores Todd! 💛💛💛
( Because some beginnings deserve to be celebrated! )
I commissioned this beautiful artwork from the ever so talented @sadfishkid, who is a very lovely person and whose art is just to die for !! Please consider commissioning her to treat yourself ( or your girlfriend ... ) to a gorgeous thingie to stare at! ✨
sometimes you should be doing coursework and sometimes you decide to make 37 OCs instead... on a totally unrelated note, anyone want to make suggestions for powers of blackwing subjects?
“Not to worry, I’m a doctor.” Well, he was the Doctor. Pulling out a penlight, he shone it in the man’s eyes, watching his pupils react to the light. “How’s your head?”
@protectiveforce writes the perfect Todd Brotzman and continues to dish out the most amazing fanfictions for a tiny niche fandom. She's a wonderful person all around, a total darling, a creative firework, and frankly I just love her. <3
Questions? Questions? Tell me about how Korbin and his brothers have been? <3
Awww, why hello there, my darling Sarah! <3 Thank you so very much for popping into my askbox and leaving me this absolutely adorable little question! When I saw the notification on my phone, I got the biggest smile on my face, and couldn’t help but giggle in happiness! You always know how to make me feel all the emotions in the way that you word things!
So, let’s see here, in regards to how the boys have been over the last little while:
(*~*Updates, And Lore Related Talk Behind The Cut~!*~*)
In terms of their storyline in general, they have been taking a little bit of a much needed break from the crazy world in which they inhabit! Nothing really new has been happening in terms of adventures, as I am currently doing my best to finalize some of their older tales, so I can get around to uploading them on both here and Ao3 when they’re finally finished.
As of right now I am currently around 80% completed with a hurt/comfort story based around Lucien and Korbin, entitled “Everything’s Alright”.
Next on the list will be editing a humorous oneshot with the title “Bruma Winters, vs The Knight, The Emperor, And The Assassin.”, along with a currently untitled, more serious although gentle, one shot dealing with Lucien soothing Martin in the aftermath of Mysterium Xarxes related nightmares, and then one where Lucien endures nightmares himself. (”In The Dark Of The Night”)
Ironically, all of these are based around the concept of sleep, as it seems that even after all these years, I cannot let go one of my favorite things to do while I’m writing. And that is to end an emotional story with the characters falling asleep together. Should I probably try to find more creative ways to end my tales? Probably! But will I? Most likely not, hah!
And there is also my take on The Battle of Dagon, entitled “If This Is To End In Fire”, which is currently at around 60% completed – at around 12K words – but is on hiatus because of the length, and the fact that I lost sight of where the story was heading at the moment. But it should be picked up sooner or later!
If any of you guys are curious about these stories, or any of the others that I am currently working on, please feel free to drop me a message! Inbox, or Ims, I assure you that I never mind talking about them, and I welcome your curiosity with open arms!
However, if you are curious as to what the newest thing I have done for them lately was, well it was a touch of characterization and world building, actually!
I gave Martin’s adoptive father – the one who raised him on the farm, as he mentions in game when you find him in the Kvatch chapel – a proper name, backstory, and personality. When you look at Darius Surus at first glance, you probably wouldn’t really notice anything familiar, but if you know my past and one of my favorite old and lovable shames… Yeah, Darius is based off of Jonathan Kent because I couldn’t help myself. Outside of that, I also gave him an extended role in Martin’s life, and made his death be the reason that my version of Martin turned to drinking – and ultimately towards Sanguine.
Angsty, perhaps, but then again, have you met me?
Outside of that, I also did more development for Korbin’s mother, Erisia Kynrick, and his father Corvus Redd, who were incredibly loyal Dibella worshipers and who believed their love making to be tainted once Erisia became pregnant with Korbin, and assumed that their Daedra Lord would look down upon them for what they had done – when in reality it would have been anything but, as Dibella would have favored Korbin highly by having been conceived from an intimacy session in her honor – and from their own selfish fears, lead them to abandoning Korbin at the age of five on the streets of the Waterfront in the Imperial City.
Again, incredibly angsty, but rest assured that even though they abandon Korbin outright, and go on to enjoy their lives without hardly a blink of an eye in relation to what they did to their son, they wind up getting their karma in the form of a shadowy protector years down the road. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time that Lucien murdered a family member for a sake of a contract, or personal feelings.
But outside of that, and outside of some Next Gen related conversations that I have been having with my dear friends in the Discord Server, not much has really been happening lately! There’s the occasional Incorrect Quote here and there, and some Sims related shenanigans, but overall it’s been pretty relaxed! And honestly I think the boys deserve to take a little break now and again, don’t you?
Thanks again for asking, and I hope you enjoy these answers~! Lots of love and kisses for you! ♥~
Wanna drop me a message, pick at my brain, or ask about something relating to my Oblivion related stuff? Feel free~! Just be warned my replies may be kind of lengthy, hehe!
