More Intense Vibes (or Smth Idk They’re Just Vibes)

𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐒

          “  …….  ”

     “  i will carry you out myself.  ”

          "𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐘 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐒 as weapons in the past and will not hesitate to do so again.” Completely straight-faced, it’s... likely the truth, to some degree. “I have interacted with my fair share of corpses cursed or otherwise, and so you’ll have to do more than glower and glare at me. Besides, telling a scientist to not indulge in their own curiosity, you may as well tell a fish not to swim.”

Making a new blog is always a disaster because you either don’t block recommended posts and have a dashboard clogged with shit or you block them and your dashboard endless scrolling breaks into an infinite void of loading

          Hands kept tempo in their busy work, combing with deft precision through innumerable slips and curls of parchment. The spectacles hung low over the bridge of his nose, threatening to slip away with every twist of his lips in dissatisfaction the longer his efforts went unrewarded. “𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐲.

Carefully, purposefully, blank.

          “𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝛐 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝛐𝐫 𝐲𝛐𝐮? 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝛐𝐧𝐞. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝛐𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝛐𝐫 𝐲𝛐𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝛐𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝛐𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝛐𝐮 𝐰𝐡𝛐 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝛐𝐟 𝐝𝛐𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝛐 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥𝛐𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝛐𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝛐𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝛐 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧?”

See, the difficult part is that... outside of the apprentices he’s had over the years (and their families, for those who’ve stayed in contact with him) and some of his colleagues, Veric is an antisocial asshole who has to be dragged out of the house or else he’ll just sit inside all day in the company of his automatons.

Hawk is gonna kill me for not remembering anything about Dragon Age to be able to make a verse for it but I went ahead and put up a really basic verse page, including his WIP main Witc.her verse. Since his world is already fantasy and can be integrated pretty easily into most universes regardless, the second verse will likely be his default for muses from other fantasy franchises that I don’t give him a specific verse for. I also added a link on the pinned to this blog’s lore tag, so that as it fills up with things about Veric and his primary verses, it’ll be much easier to find information on the off chance someone wants to interact there.

I actually need to make a verse for Domnos but I’m too much of a coward.

Ridiculously early in the morning will be my time for romance posting instead of NSFW posting here we go

Veric has a number of ways in which he tends to show his affection through letting people into his ‘spaces’ —he’s a private person in general, so coming into his home, or being told specific things about his life or past, sure. But... probably the biggest, I think, is when you see him without any kind of glamours, or makeup, or obscuring who or what he really is, in a sense.

Sure, appearance is kind of important in most mage societies and arcane scientists aren’t that different in the end, even though they like to believe they’re more about the pursuit of knowledge than anything so superficial. But for Veric specifically, it’s because... he’s known for the image of strength he presents, and how frail and lifeless he can look at times when he’s overexerted himself and not using glamours to obscure it can be a startling contrast. His skin goes pale, he looks sickly, even his hair and eyes lose their luster and he gets a little more sluggish, a little more irritable than he already was (sounds hard to do, I know lol) not to mention he usually doesn’t wear his prostheses just because it takes less energy to simply use his wheelchair when he’s feeling that way, since he won’t be leaving his home in that state.

So if he willingly allows you to see him that way? I don’t think there’s a more grand show of trust from him, if I’m honest. He doesn’t like being vulnerable when it can be helped, so many of his formative years were spent learning to hide any and all signs of weakness so that he can survive.

Veric was a stranger in a land foreign to him, and knew better than to let slip such useless hostility over nothing. It wasn’t the first time his trustworthiness or motivations were questioned and wouldn’t be the last, but what was more...

          “You have little reason to, regardless of what I say.” What was this person’s connection to this place? It figured his rotten luck would have him stumbling upon a stranger without having even found his footing in this odd corner of the world. “All I can say is that I’m merely a traveler passing through, and whether you choose to believe me or not, well...” Dark hands smoothed down the front of his robes, oddly spared of grime or disarray for a supposed wanderer, but if it was his intent to look out of place, he more than managed it. But he couldn’t allow himself to be chased away, if there may have been a reason this newfound vessel of his had been placed here, of all places.

          Veric straightened. “Regardless, I have no intention of staying here. Just as soon as I... discover where it is that I’m going.”
