On one hand I don't want to change my arihs header because he is my most specialest guy ever... He's done so much for me and I've had this header (even if it was an earlier version) since the pandemic so if I change the header I would feel like I'm divorcing him in a way... But on the other..... Sexy red devil mica header would go soooo hard
Congratulations! You've taken the hero drug and survived, and you are now the newest vigilante patrolling the streets of Los Diablos! Allies can form the basis for strong friendships and, perhaps more importantly, increase your odds of survival in your newfound profession.
Who are you most hoping to get a chance to team up with?
Marshal Steel
Charge
Lady Argent
Herald
Captain Blaze
The Handyman
Locus
Someone else
Remaining time: 5 days 20 hours
Left off a lot of otherwise good options because they were retired, presumed dead, or no longer based in Los Diablos, but the "Someone else" button could probably work perfectly well for bringing someone out of retirement. Can't make any promises about how dragging a super corpse around would go though.
There's something so wonderfully fucked up abt Ortega and mortum's romances that I don't think you fully get with the other characters and it's the replication of handler + scientist dynamics for sidestep... Ortega's immunity to Sidestep's telepathy (like a handler on numbers), the role they had on sidestep's life specially in the beginning of their relationship where sidestep would look to Ortega to learn how to behave/act/respond in situations (much like they would do with a handler) and the dynamic they had as marshal + associate where they probably had to defer to them on certain circumstances in their missions (exactly how regenes would have to follow the instructions/lead of their handlers).... Mortum's Entire career as a scientist, the kind of morals they're willing to ignore/let go of for their experiments (which is absolutely foundational for what happens at the farm), the kind of jobs they're willing to take on for enough money or just to satisfy their scientific curiosity, their ties to the military.... And what all this says abt sidestep who seeks these two out and finds comfort in them (in what they're used to?)
welcome to my woke wedding, we've got: two smoking brides (nonbinary), one ugly ass groom (alcoholic) and one of the bride's boyfriend (t4t) and if you don't like it, get out!!!!
(The beautiful Dina belongs to @crowshuh)
Wanted to keep doing some of these prompts and seeing "wedding" in the "what they would wear to a formal event" prompt made me black out and this appear. I love wedding attire <3
my school just told me to not worry abt my contract and that once it's up THEN we will look at the classes i have left to take and come up with a budget based on that
Next up in my saga of dressing up mica and going way overboard it was time to go back to my fantasy roots and put them in a princess-y get up 🕊️
Some details abt this particular au under the cut <3
Mica is still not human in this au. They're a mix between dragon age spirit, changeling and fucked up third thing. The farm in this universe wants to learn how to cheat death so they take people's corpses, forcibly summon a specific type of spirit-like being wherein said creature will take on the appearance of the deceased (still haven't decided if it's true possession of a corpse or the nature of the spirit to "steal" the appearance of the first person's face they see). The only way to tell these beings aside from the real human is a series of markings they have throughout their bodies.
Every single one of these spirits posses different magical powers.
Said beings are also widely regarded as purely evil creatures, mostly brought upon the world to curse people.
They made a name for themselves as a masked bandit/rogue who helped people, meeting ortega and the rest of his knightly crew in the process.
Ortega is a knight of the kingdom operating in the province of Los Diablos. He was still in an accident but the way he was put back together is more reminiscent of the way magic works in witch hat atelier + runic "magic" (they're regarded more as augmentations rather than pure magic). This fix has left him with lightning/electricity "powers" he's unable to really control at all.
Part of what should be the LD province is under the rule of Hollow Ground which causes constant skirmishes between the two territories and HG is still Ortega's nemesis even in this au due to killing his knight captain at the time: Hood.
After a mission gone horribly wrong it was believed Mica died but they actually survived and a few years after the society of the farm had them in captivity they decided escaping to Hollow Ground's territory would be their best bet at staying alive and safe while they plot their revenge.
Mica pretends to be Hollow Ground's real missing sister and is immediately established as a princess of the region.
Despite both being nonbinary, Hollow Ground plays the part of male king (tough, charming, intimidating) and Mica is convinced by them to play the part of female princess (humanizing force to HG's more ruthless persona).
Mortum is an artificer under the rule of Hollow Ground. He creates all sorts of contraptions and even though HG retains some sort of charmspeak abilities he is there through mostly intimation + blackmail/extortion tactics.
Mica takes on the appearance of a different deceased woman (still haven't decided if they posses her corpse through newly found powers or if it's some sort of. malevolent amulet that has her essence stored in it or something) to get close to Mortum.
Mica takes a liking to Mortum and tries to get him in the good graces of Hollow Ground but Mortum despises the entire royal family for the situation Hollow Ground has put him in and Mica especially due to "Jane" being a supposed lady in waiting to them which makes their relationship extremely tense and awkward.
Mica and Ortega reunite purely by chance and it takes a bit before Ortega realizes Mica has turned back to who he believes is their sibling. He decides his new mission is to not only destroy Hollow Ground's kingdom but to free Mica from their clutches.
