"boys will be boys" in Halonic school: "abuse by men is excusable and inevitable"

"boys will be boys" but it's specifically Aym, Est, and Haurch: *two hours of them taking turns taking shots and throwing hacky sacks at each other's junk and seeing who taps out first*

also this isn't even getting into my whole philosophy of "people are allowed to have different takes on characters"

but yeah i just... i don't think he is as dense as some think, but also having those moments isn't a bad thing ;; .

he also isn't emotionally stupid-- it strikes me as a mix of fear of loss, low social energy, and not being good at the faff some people put you through. he's awkward, he doesn't always know what to do, but he cares and wants to help and will try with whatever he knows of you.

That's kinda how i loke writing Estinien. He knows what he is and where his limits are. I don't think he's stupid, i think he is aware of the fact that he doesn't know everything and doesn't pretend to. there are things he needs help with and that's okay. he's still a total badass.

Maybe i am defensive because I've taken to using Dumbass (affectionate) as a way to describe myself because it takes the sting out of it for me. Like, "Yeah, I'm dumb. What of it? I'm asking you to help me so i can still do what you're asking." Maybe I'm wrong, but it helps me, at least.

He's been a weapon most of his life, he was raised a farmer so has very SPECIFIC knowledge, and his personality is just the type tp simplify things. Aymeric even comments on his bluntness being life saving at times. He's good at some things amd bad at others and that is FINE.

Can i have the mysterious third take on Estinien's intelligence and say he's not stupid but also that being stupid or having moments of denseness isn't a moral failing?

I find a lot of comfort in him as an autistic allegory, and i think part of that is LETTING him be slow and being okay with it.

Estinien absolutely spoils the FUCK outta that man. like he wants his broodmate well cared for so he's gonna be all the fuck over him with food and cuddles and protective growling any time someone gets too close even to the point of slight annoyance. but Aym's happy overall.

Genuinely, it's okay if my content triggers you. I'm not upset that people need to block me. But please don't send me hate because you're uncomfortable. It's not going to change anything. And I'm tired of sharing essays of resources defending my reasons for playing rough with my dolls.

If it is 100% fictional, and any real people involved are of age and consenting, i don't care. I am a CSA victim. i use kink to play pretend and rewrite the bad things that happened to me and it helps. my therapists think it's a good thing. i don't put more stock in randos than actual professionals.

Probs a good time to warn everyone that while i might not have problematic ships, i fully support others' right to have such. I'm pro-kink, pro-fiction, and anti censorship. I'm a fetish artist by trade and my only limits are my personal triggers. If that bothers you, you should block me.

eggnant Aym waking up in the middle of the night, tummy growling, too embarrassed to go get food. Estinien hears and does it for him.

honestly horse ultima is more fun to draw because there's way less pressure than trying to draw his real form because when I do that, I have actively hold myself back every moment from hitting him with the snatched waist wide hips beam

“I’m this clingy.”

“This love is a sure thing.”

These two have zero sense of personal space when it comes to each other and they wouldn’t have it any other way (Lume has come a long way from being touch adverse due to past trauma).

Lume laying on her side while looking at her phone. Aymeric is laying between her legs.

Aymeric is asleep while hugging Lume tightly to him. Her face is squished.

unless someone has an existing hook-- like, for example if someone was RPing a High House member, Aymeric would have some established opinions about them and potential pre existing points of contact. so it 100% depends on the person.
