[terribleweh]

Indie KING CLAWTHORNE from The Owl House! NOT SPOILER FREE.

Please read the rules under the cut before interacting!

[ added 11 june: REALLY emphasising the slow activity! ]

ASK PROMPTS -> [ Always accepting + open to non-mutuals, unless stated otherwise in the tags! Go wild. ]

ABOUT KING -> [ WIP, so just a wiki link for now 😔 ]

MUN.

You can call me Forest, and I'm 20! I find it amazingly difficult to talk to people and keep a conversation going, so if we happen to speak ooc... I promise it's nothing against you! My social skills are just something else lol, but please let me know if I have said or done anything that upsets you - it'll never be my intention.

I am also perpetually in slow activity mode. My motivation and muse are very fickle, amongst other things in my life that might keep me from being here. This means threads/asks may be dropped over time (unintentionally or due to lack of muse), but you're welcome to ask me about it!

INTERACTING.

For the time being, I am not mutual exclusive; so anyone is welcome to send asks, unprompted or through memes (unless specified in the tags)! Starter calls will be kept mutuals only for my own sanity.

Asks and prompts are the best way to interact with me. Plotting isn't a strength of mine, unfortunately - but I'll likely be up for most things!

With replies, I try to do it oldest to newest, but I am so slow that it doesn't always work out. I also won't reply to every ask I get - this is always due to muse, whether I have inspiration or not... but please don't be discouraged from sending more! You can send as many as you like - the more the merrier, it gives me variety and options to choose from. -> Sometimes I will practise this when sending memes, just know that I'm never expecting you to answer all of them! If receiving multiple asks bothers you, feel free to let me know and I will keep that in mind :)

FOLLOWING.

Two of the main reasons I might not follow back: I'm unfamiliar with your fandom, or I'm not sure how our muses would interact. I prefer to stick to fandoms I know for that reason, but if you have an idea you're welcome to jump in my ask! A secret third reason: I didn't realise/forgot to check.

I guarantee I always read rules before following, if you have one available. I try to send passwords, but it does make me a bit uncomfortable so there might be occasions where I don't - but again, they will have been read! -> I do follow quite a lot of people, so I'm bound to forget rules sometimes. Please give me a little nudge if I break one of yours!

OTHER.

I have a tendency to write King's dialogue in uppercase - not because he's shouting all the time (though he is definitely a loud boy), but because it helps me find his voice better. However, if you'd prefer me to write his dialogue normally because it's difficult to read, let me know and I'll drop it in our interactions!

Credit to @/bugresources for my icons!!

Will be updated as needed, but if there's anything you're unsure about feel free to ask :]

[fernfrek]

the fact that he never apologized to his idol for calling him rat

[terribleweh]

umm i actually wrote a whole other thing for that last reply to az but it got a Bit out of hand so i scrapped it. but i think it deserves a place here sooo hehee

Oh.

It felt like it had been so long since King paraded the role of being… well, a king. He hadn't consciously realised the distance he put between him and the role of a fearsome ruler - not since the realisation of his titanhood.

It had sat uncomfortably over his head, much like the non-existent crown he had claimed for so long. Even though the perception of the Titan imposed by Belos was no doubt warped for his own gain, and as much as King wanted to believe that the Titan was kind - there wasn't any other narrative being offered. No one had dared to oppose the Emperor's word.

So, the idea of being the offspring of a supposed malevolent god was… something he didn't want to think about; a thought pushed far back as he hugged the skeletal finger of his father.

But things were different now. When Luz had delivered their message - "I loaf you" - the catharsis he'd felt was like no other. They had been watching him all this time, and the shining spirit he'd watched ascend had emanated nothing but love, love, love. How could he have ever believed otherwise?

[terribleweh]

@collectalong [ wirt ] said: ❛ I have no chance of winning. None! ❜

"YEAH, IT'S BECAUSE YOU KINDA STINK." King punctuates his sentence with an exaggerated sniff, leaning away from Wirt with a wave of his paw. Of course, he doesn't actually smell - but he's not going to clarify that.

He snatches Wirt's instrument out of his hand - what did he say it was called again? Whatever. "CAN YOU EVEN PLAY THIS THING? YOU BETTER HOPE SO, OTHERWISE EVERYONE WILL LAUGH AT YOU. TEENAGERS ARE BRUTAL."

[terribleweh]

"I JUST THINK IT WOULD WORK REALLY WELL. A LITTLE BIT OF FIRE NEVER HURT ANYONE!"

[lavenderbane-deactivated2023072]

@terribleweh asked ❛ King is sniffing around...! "......DO YOU HAVE FOOD?" ❜

GOLD flickered down towards the TITAN PUP. Then slowly back towards the moon cake she held between her hands.

❝ Yes. . . ? ❞

CONFUSION was evident in her voice briefly. Watching KING CLOSELY before a soft sigh escaped her. Pinching each end of the small round cake she carefully tore it in half before holding out one of the halves to him.

❝ Would you like some? ❞

OKAY, MAYBE she still felt terrible about the cupcake thing.

[terribleweh]

"YES!" King did not spare a second in nabbing the half from Amity's hand, shoveling it into his mouth in one quick motion - he truly was just a small beast, sometimes.

His eyes were shut as he chewed, and something akin to a delighted purr rumbled from his throat. King was generally good at just eating whatever they had at the Owl House, easily sustained with hex-mix, and he was even a self-proclaimed garbage connoisseur, but this cake.... it was heavenly.

"THAT'S REALLY GOOD," he said after gulping it all down. "IS THAT A RICH PERSON CUPCAKE? I SHOULD START LOOKING IN THEIR GARBAGE MORE."

[terribleweh]

wuh oh did not expect to jump straight into the sad king moments. anyway

[silenthcwl-a]

" Oh, sweety... "

Seluna would swear that she felt her heart crack at King's words, sympathy for the little demon overwhelming her completely. She can't quite imagine how growing up like that must feel, but she knows that King doesn't deserve feeling like that.

She crouches down slowly to meet him at his height before gently coaxing him into a tight hug.

" I can't read into people's mind, especially those that aren't here but-- I can make deductions. Starting from the fact that the tower was well guarded… maybe someone was looking for you and he didn't want them to take you. Maybe he wasn't here because he was busy fighting them somewhere else. " It's all just a conjecture, but she words it with such passion that it almost sounds like she truly believes it. " And-- maybe he's still fighting right now. For you, to keep you safe. "

[terribleweh]

It's when Seluna brings King into a hug that the tears begin to flow, sobs wracking his body as his paws grab at the fabric of her shirt.

Before the truth, not once did he think about where he came from - too secure in his false identity as the King of Demons, and it was easy to blame what he didn't know on the spell scrambling his memories.

King has heard people say something about the truth being liberating, but what slitherbeast crap is that? He's drowning in the feelings that came crashing with it - the anger at being left alone; the hopelessness, being a loss of where to even start looking; and possibly the worst of all, how stupid he feels to be crying over someone he's never even met.

Seluna's words are a dim light in his misery - barely pushing back against the waves of emotions, but it's there. He wants to believe her, so he's desperately clinging onto them. After all, who wants to think that they've been abandoned?

"...YEAH," King sniffles, voice wavering as he pulls away to wipe his eyes. "DO... DO YOU THINK I'LL EVER GET TO MEET HIM?"

[terribleweh]

I'M FREEEEEE I'VE HANDED IN. celebratory creature doodles
