(header art from here.)
verse list
#ascended flame - a catch all tag for when all the verses are involved, a new verse without a tag is being used, or other shenanigans are afoot.
#on pyromancy - main verse. considered to take place within the span of the original dark souls. explicitly magical. laurentius is a pyromancer from the great swamp. i also use this tag for when laurentius is (usually ceremoniously) dumped into another place, but remains himself.
#timely conjuration - dark souls 3 verse. considered to take place in dark souls 3/lothric. explicitly magical. laurentius has ended up here through some odd form of time travel; he is dressed as what dark souls 3 calls a "conjurator" and is generally regarded as such. #powder keggery - bloodborne!AU. considered to take place before and during the long hunt presented during bloodborne. explicitly supernatural. laurentius is a powder kegger bent on diving into the chalice dungeons in search of the beasts that can throw fire on their own. #zippo magic - modern!AU. unless otherwise noted, explicitly supernatural. laurentius is a london-born slummer fascinated with fire and the strange magic he's picked up from a Hellfire Club-style secrety society. this verse is in development. #bayou-blooded - modern!AU. could swing supernatural or mundane. laurentius is a lousiana-born man and a member of a bayou group with sincere religious views on nature, with a particular focus on fire. this verse is in development. #whirl o flame! - elden ring!AU. explicitly magical. laurentius is a fire monk whose goal is to climb to the mountaintops of the giants and see the flame of ruin for himself. he is, disastrously, also flirting with studying dragon incantations. this verse is in development.
in all verses, laurentius is considered to be pansexual and panromantic. unless otherwise discussed, romantic relationships occur in their own continuity, separate from other such relationships.
as of recently i've been reblogging memes using the tag #pyromancy tome. unless otherwise noted in the tags of the same post, i'm still accepting them (though if you pick an older meme, please note what meme it is or include the prompt, not just the number/symbol!)
the rules
mun is 35+. i much prefer writing with people who are 21 and over.
i am open for messages and asks, and be reached on Discord under chezdispenser. please feel free to reach out and plot!
this blog features fairly frequent (and tagged) OOC content. you may be occasionally jumpscared by a gray cat named Saber who loves you. you have been warned.
i try my very hardest to be nice; i expect others to do the same. being a dick to me or to others is a quick way to end our association.
NSFW must be discussed before i write it. most NSFW material will be published to @flash-sweat. nsfw tag for all verses is #nsf pyromancy.
i have a day job that involves writing and a wealth of focus issues. replies may be slow. gentle reminders are welcome; being rude is not.
in the same vein, i always welcome feedback or requesting edits/changes to posts to better fit your ideas or the thread. i do not take such requests personally.
i have absolutely no problem avoiding triggers; please don't fret about bringing them up.
on my own triggers, i am unwilling to include on-screen sexual assault, prolonged and detailed torture, or detailed violence against small animals or children in my writing, and i ask that you not include it in yours when writing with me.
