i don’t think any of you understand. the impetus, the fucking click behind scythebelts for me, is not strictly romantic. it is that sylnan, his entire life, has been trying to hold on to everything he can and he never gets to. and velrisa, god fucking bless her, has been waiting for someone to hold on to her like that, like nobody really has.
the impetus, the fucking spark, the starting point for everything i write for them, is based upon the gutsense fucking horror of seeing someone reach for you and not knowing if they mean to catch you for certain or just until you’re not useful.
everything else is just fluff and filler. the cleric/rogue dramatics, the high contrast, the jokes, the mutual admiration, the aesthetics- all of it is fluff and filler. good, but just not why i love it.
at core and center, they are holding on to each other until they are bleeding from the goddamn fingernails because nothing else is willing to stay as static and calm as they are. nobody else- not as though it is a personal failing on anyone else’s part, it is simply the way things go- is willing to cling on as hard for some chance at steady ground. sylnan and vel are. that’s what makes me write em.
they have universal healthcare on afterforge
Br'aad got his top surgery done at ye olde Claires, Redd got his done by a sketchy guy in some random back alley, and Mountain did his himself
and Velrisa transitioned normally
1.5hr drive plus 1hr train plus 2hr airport wait plus 2hr flight plus 2hr flight plus 1.5hr drive today. good thing i’ve never been normal about anything in my life ever.
hello biggayhimbo enjoyers!
new fic just went up! it’s a velrisa-centric one-shot for a transmasc vel au. it’s mainly inspired by a short-hair fanart of vel that @ttrpgenjoyer drew a little while back, so go check them out!
as a psa
-i’m in the middle of changing my major and getting a new job
-my usual beta reader is in the middle of a compsci degree and busy as hell
-my other beta reader is about to give up romance/porno for lent
expect a little over 35k words of scythebelts as soon as college takes it’s boot off my neck- or, more likely, expect it with the end of lent and the return of our lord and savior jesus christ, on easter sunday.
the angst is here homos. go get y’all’s juice
dilfs should fuck each other, solving the problem for themselves and enabling eeven more unrequited lust from freaks on tumblr dot com
dilfs are sexy but age gaps are bad which implies that the only morally correct dynamic with an older man is unrequited lust. discuss
the dagger holster stays on during sex

MANTISCYTHE. a.k.a Rolan Deep!
Hero of bug-type body modification!
Has the ability to transform limbs into insect-like weaponry at will, his most well known form being his arm morphed into a giant scythe.
Powers that favor close-range combat with capability of jumping to inhuman heights. This requires light but easily injurable bones, which have to be thought of while fighting an enemy.
