Atlas & Persephone
Oh, sweet child of penance and flowers! Your father eternally holds up the skies, and your mother the Queen of the Underworld. A life of greatness stands before you dictated by endurance, understanding, and compassion. No man can tell you what realm you preside over, but look to themes of weeds, wildflowers, and empathy as you grow into your power.

@grimesucker: there's not much by way of a celebration, but there IS a package of base-white outer-shell pieces that can be attached to fifteen's prosthetic arm ; additionally, a note : 'nothing great, but me n the kids pitched in to get you a little more layers. happy birthday.'
given he’d practically forgotten about his OWN birthday to begin with, he expects no celebration. in fact, he always figures that dox won’t remember -- not because he doesn’t CARE, rather there’s so much else to worry about that birthdays just don’t matter as much as they did on med-lev. and yet, every year he’s been surprised to discover that NOT ONLY has dox remembered, but even went so far as to put together a gift for him.
approaching the box curiously, shiro picks up the note and reads over it, unable to contain the SMILE that grows with each word. not just dox, but THE KIDS, too. the various little slumbrats he’s taken to helping dox look after helped out with the gift. --granted, it may have been all of dox’s money rather than any of them pitching in, but honestly? it means more to him that they’d care enough to want to be included. it really solidifies that feeling he’s had, of being something like a BIG BROTHER for them. that alone is a great gift.
now grinning to himself, he slips the note into his pocket ( yes, he’s going to keep it! it officially has SENTIMENTAL VALUE ) and moves on to slowly opening the box. what’s revealed inside... it takes shiro a moment to put it together. at first, it just looks like maybe some assorted pieces of plastic, but the more he looks at them while keeping the note in mind, the more he realizes what ‘layers’ dox was talking about.
he’s never THOUGHT about making his arm look nicer. it functions, that’s the part that matters. not that he’s going to turn the opportunity DOWN ( maybe it’ll make the thing a little easier to look at and feel more like his arm than a simple prosthetic ).
slowly, carefully, shiro clips the plates into place one by one. he MIGHT need a bit of help later securing them fully, but he manages well enough on his own and, when it’s done, he has to admit: he’s impressed. it gives his prosthetic a completely different look. he... kinda LIKES it.
flexing the fingers, smile remaining securely in place, he wonders how he can thank everyone. maybe cake? he should have enough counts to pick a CHEAP ONE up... definitely can’t bake one himself, he’ll BURN THE HOUSE DOWN. the kids would like something sweet, he knows it, and why can’t he make them happy on his OWN BIRTHDAY? decision made, shiro hurries for the door, grabbing his jacket on the way, and he leaves the rundown home with excitement shining in his eyes.
sorry for not doing much / being so slow here! i’ve currently got muse for like. five blogs rn so i’ve kinda just been wherever i’ve got the most muse... basically: my brain is everywhere but i’ll reply to stuff eventually!!
edit: OH, re: slav, i’ll be adding him over here at some point, for those interested. he... will probs be the only vld muse there & he’ll be pretty sparse. figured that’s good to add so anyone interested knows what they’re walking into lmao
tbh it would probably take like. the faintest whisper of enabling on the wind for me to heavily consider bringing my slav back on the new multi i’m setting up
shiro, keeping an eye on pidge w/ her space pirate crush from a distance:
anyone remember how i said i’m in love with the latest smite god? yeah... if a primordial goddess in the form of a sea dragon who views humans as inferior vermin sounds like ur jam, she there.

“Um. Excuse you? I love painting my nails. It makes me type way faster.”
What she really meant was that it made her feel cooler to type with painted nails, but this is one of the rare occasions where she’s willing to blend fact and opinion.
Although, she does admit, “It’s just been a while since I’ve done my nails. And I usually scratch all the paint off pretty quickly.”
With a bustling sound, Katie drops his hand and squints Shiro down, “Look, are you really going to talk yourself out of a free pedicure? Because I don’t give out family discounts.”
“ no, no, i’ll take the manicure offer. i know how high your rates are. ”
he can’t help but to laugh affectionately at katie’s words as he runs with the joke. it’s a laugh he doesn’t get to use often enough these days, but this... this conversation about something MUNDANE as painting nails and the kidding around... it feels a lot like things used to be, and it’s nice.
“ why don’t you go grab your supplies, and i’ll wait here for you. set up a space for us to do all this. sound good? ”
grimesucker.
TOO LATE, HE’S ALREADY AWAKE. aggravation sees upper-lip CURL, but fifteen should know well-enough that dox’s temper EBBS & FLOWS - he’ll be GROUCHY for some time, but it’s not as though he could actually remain upset with the kids—he KNOWS that he’s, well, their SOLE SOURCE OF COMFORT - if one of them has something that demands they rouse him at UNFUCKLY HOURS, than he’ll get over it & tend to their bullshit. he’s all they got.
pushing himself from frankly derelict mattress, dox adjusts into a sitting position & beckons fifteen back over.
there’s HESITATION, even as dox gestures for him to come back, and shiro simply remains paused in place for a long moment. he really does hate waking dox, and not JUST because it’s rude and the mender gets crabby, but... well, he’s almost an adult. he shouldn’t be waking his effective CARETAKER up in the middle of the night like he’s six.
“ it’s fine, it’s not... ” trailing off before finishing the sentence, the boy exhales and shuffles back into dox’s doorway, hand gripping at what remains of his right arm. “ ...my arm just hurts. ”
something which sounds small and not worth waking someone for, except that with SHIRO... if he feels the need to tell someone that something hurts, it means that it really hurts. used to being in pain more often than he’s not, he won’t bother anyone about it until he’s about in AGONY. tonight, he’s been unable to sleep due to the pain, even having to remove his prosthetic in an effort to ease it.
“ i can’t get to sleep. ”
shiro, cudding in bed w/ sendak: wE’RE NOT DATING
@shieldedchild: "You.. You're actually dating Sendak? Oh-- Oh my god. Oh, my GOD. That's so gross! You're so gross! I hate it here!"
“ no, that’s not-- it isn’t-- ...it’s not like that, exactly. ”
it IS definitely something he never wanted to have to explain to anyone, though. OR have to admit out loud. the way he stumbles over his words makes this all the more evident.
“ it’s not... --we’re not dating, ” he tries to explain, hands raised in front of him, gesturing VAGUELY, almost like he’s trying to put the words together with his hands. lips purse for a tick, and shiro scratches the back of his head, looking away from katie. cheeks now a warm shade of red, he stares off into the distance like somehow he’ll find a way to get out of this conversation.
“ it’s complicated. ” but DEFINITELY gross. he knows that, and he doesn’t blame her for seeing it that way. he would, however, prefer if she kept her voice down so the ENTIRE CASTLE doesn’t hear. “ ...please don’t tell anyone else. ”
@vrepit-sa: Breathes down the back of Shiro’s neck
“ god-- ”
jumping in ALARM at the sensation of hot breath on the back of his neck, some space is put between them as shiro WHIPS AROUND, fist at the ready. eyes fall upon sendak, however, and with a moment of hesitation, he relaxes. slightly.
“ don’t do that, ” he about snaps, anxiety triggered and keeping him on edge. how, he has to wonder for the UPTEENTH time, is someone so large able to be so damn quiet? “ surely you have better things to do than trying to SCARE ME. ”

Ouch it's been a life since the last post here, but luckily I'm finally free from exams so I'll try to update contents more often on this blog!
Here's a sketchy Shendak cuz I missed them 💜 sendak has not his arm prosthesis just because I'm lazy so I'm gonna say this is a pre-paladin Shiro au or just a modern setting canon free (?) Idk
me: i should make use of all this muse i have for so many blogs & actually write today before it all disappears on me
also me: new smite god released today and i’m in love with her so maybe i should just bury myself in video games for the rest of my life

Both Shiro and Pidge like to brag about each other. Shiro will boast about Pidge’s accomplishments, which usually looks like, “Oh, this is Pidge, our tech specialist.” Meanwhile, Pidge will brag go on about Shiro’s potential, which usually looks like, “I bet Shiro could beat you up with one hand tied behind his back!” Either way, they’re both really proud of each other.
Spurred by Matt calling it a “rite of brotherhood,” Shiro tried coming up with his own embarrassing nickname for Katie. He tried basing it on her middle name, since he thought it was kinda silly that Sam and Colleen would name their daughter “Kelp” of all things. He went with “Kelpie,” which he thought was more cutesy than embarrassing, and Katie instantly started crying. Ever since then, he’s tried to steer clear of nicknames. The exception here being “Pidge,” of course; although, he finds himself stumbling over it sometimes. He still remembers the time Katie replaced Matt’s toothpaste with mayonnaise for calling her “Pudgey Pidgey.”
Re: Shiro generally steering clear of calling Katie “Kelpie.” Shiro totally used it more than once. Matt had to assure him Katie was just really good at crocodile tears, but after that, they’d occasionally team-up against Katie with their respective embarrassing nicknames for her. Katie always lost those fights, because the only nicknames she had for Shiro and Matt were either from her toddler-years or just straight up insults. She could try telling Sam or Colleen on them, but she’s the one that ended up in trouble. She dreads the day Shiro brings “Kelpie” back into the cycle.

“Okay, fair, but…” True to their sibling nature, she snatched his prosthetic hand and splayed out his fingers like they were hers to splay.
“Consider this: I could paint your nails, or your approximate to fingernails. I could do jet-black, so you could be discreet and fashionable.”
“ yeah? ” stifling an amused chuckle at her suggestion, he flexed his fingers, head tilting slightly to one side. fashion had never been something that came to mind when he thought of katie, but if she was THIS invested in customizing his arm, he could indulge her a little.
“ that would be a lot more subtle. alright, let’s do it. ...do you even have any nail polish around here? i don’t think i’ve ever seen you paint your nails. ”
“Can you walk?”
“How did this happen?”
“What the hell happened?”
“I hit my head.”
“Did you hit your head?”
“Can you hear me?”
“Don’t close your eyes, stay awake!”
“Come on, stay with me!”
“No no no no no!”
“You shot me!”
“I didn’t mean to shoot you!”
“You stabbed me!”
“I didn’t mean to stab you!”
“Take the knife out!”
“Don’t take the knife out!”
“It was an accident!”
“That/this wasn’t an accident!”
“That looks broken.”
“I think my leg/arm is broken.”
“That doesn’t look good.”
“Am I going to die?”
“You’re not going to die!”
“Calm down!”
“Don’t panic!”
“I can’t help you if you don’t let me!”
“Are you bleeding?”
“Don’t move, you’re bleeding.”
“Is that blood?”
“Whose blood is that?”
“That’s a lot of blood.”
“Do you know how to get bloodstains out?”
“Why do you know how to get bloodstains out?”
“Damn, I got blood on my shirt.”
“Don’t move, you’re losing blood!”
“I won’t let you bleed out!”
“You have blood on your face.”
“I swear to god, if you get blood on me…”
“What’s your blood type?”
“Why in the hell would you need to know my blood type?”
“That cut is nasty.”
“You have a massive gash in your arm/leg!’
“Don’t touch it!”
“Don’t move, you’ll only make it worse!”
“I’ll get some bandages.”
“You’re going to need stitches.”
“That looks infected…”
“Did you get bit by something?”
“There’s no exit wound, the bullet is still in you.”
“There’s an exit wound, the bullet went through you.”
“How are you feeling?”
“How does it feel?”
“It’s still not healed, but it’s getting there.”
“Let’s go home.”
“I just want to go home.”
“Let’s get you into the bathtub.”
“We need to change your bandages soon.”
“Get some sleep, okay?”
“You need to eat something, you’ve been through a lot today.”
“I’ll check up on you in a bit.”
“You’re going to be fine. I promise.”

so, uh. i’ve gone ahead and re-added vld canon verses & vld aus to this blog. it’s been enough years that i’m somewhat less bitter about everything and, ultimately, i’m still weak for the positive aspects of the show.
that said, this blog is remaining multiverse-centric. there’s no real “main” verse, and i’ll tend to favour aus over canon stuff.

words spoken on rough growl, an IMPRESSIVE glare darkening the mender’s face ; lip CURLS in something of a SNARL, aggravation blatantly APPARENT at having been woken up so early—whatever it is, if it hadn’t woken dox on it’s own, that’s indicative of it being something that can WAIT - it’s too damn EARLY for BULLSHIT.
“ s-sorry. ”
taken aback by the unreserved aggression, shiro stumbles over the apology. it’s his own fault, really, he knows how... annoyed dox get upon being awoke in the wee hours of the morning -- he should have been prepared for a less-than-welcoming response. quickly deciding this was a MISTAKE, that he should just let the mender return to sleep, he shakes his head and takes a step back out of the room.
“ --nevermind, it’s not important. ” making to slink away, he murmurs one final; “ sorry. ”
