Join me, my friends, and let us explore!

Greetings travelers of tumblr! I am Starlingadventuress, also known as Starling and Star with friends. I have been described to be an anxious bean with a feline theming.

So, a little bit about me. I am taken, go by she/her pronouns, and have been into Skyrim and Minecraft since I first found out about them as a little kid.

I post at random about anything, ranging from known to little known medias, drabbles and fics, and probably a lot about my own ocs. I exist here, on ao3, and discord. Maybe yt & Twitch in the future.

And why am I Saying this? Well, to give some context about this writing because i heavily rely on real experiences as inspiration.

The answer was born on the tip of his tongue with the force of an absolute "no" that, at any other moment, he would have spoken without hesitation. There was not a single world in which he could accept to talk. Not after every word he had spat out with the certainty he was saying the truth.

But he had a talent for running toward the very things that terrified him the most, unable to hold onto a decision when his emotions fought with his logic.

Instead, he swallowed hard and let his resentment die, even if only for now.

"...Alright." that whisper took more effort than any battle he had fought until then.

He felt miserable for wanting to fix things, because he still longed for the closeness of the angel after having reduced him, time and time again, to the monstrous image he had built inside his head. How could someone confess to a betrayal like that?

He had waited for him to leave so he could destroy him in his absence. Now, his mere proximity made his chest hurt. He lowered his gaze.

"I don't deserve you. I said too many stupid things that I believed were a fact, and now... fuck- I don't even know if it was just my paranoia talking."

- 🪾

Ouch… That hits a bit close to home. Reminds me of a few fights I've had only there wasn't usually a good reason behind it

Emotions fighting with logic is something I hear people talk about with villains but I feel like most don't realize just how much of an everyday thing that can be. Irrational irritation and anger can pop up from anything, like from being accidentally ignored or talked over. It isn't limited only to fiction. And people do make mistakes from that. And you know what? I'd rather make a mistake that I can apologize for then bottle everything up and eventually explode at everyone around me. Communication is the foundation of all relationships

On a personal note I feel like sending a quick "I need some alone time" message then going offline is a much better alternative to just blocking your friend out of nowhere but I can't judge anyone's situation without knowing more personal details

Paranoia feeds on being proven 'right' about bad outcomes. Don't ever let it think it is. For every bad outcome you think of, find a lighter one. Call me cliché but sometimes you really do need to look on the bright side to survive your own mind

You said sorry twice wich makes me think you have insecurity about yapping, try to be more confident :) this is your blog and I'm just an intruder, Miss Adventure with Double S.

- 🪾

Am. Am I that much of an open book??? I do have a bit of insecurity that I yap too much… Especially when I accidentally go off topic. There's been many clear signs that I'm some form of neurodivergent. When i was a kid it was suggested by a doctor that I had it + I've had at least five people with ADHD, autism, or both tell me that I'm highly likely to have ADHD. And yet I'm still not officially diagnosed because my parents don't think I have it (long story right there)

But yeah I definitely have a lot of opinions and thoughts. I'm working to be better about sharing them and being more confident in actually sharing them without apologizing too insanely much 😅

It reminds me of how I feel the need to hide my own interest in Hazbin Hotel because some of my friends see it as problematic or believe it mocks religion.

I think they fail to recognize that certain works can draw inspiration from real-world subjects without necessarily promoting or endorsing the ideologies associated with those.

- 🪾

I can very much agree with that. I feel like countryhumans can be a really good way to show off things about one's own country too!

Every piece of media out there has drawn on inspiration from something whether real or fictional. We can put new spins on anything that already exists, but that does not mean we are mocking it. The fact that someone can find something that inspires them so much they can continue its existence in a new way is exciting and an incredible feature of creativity that I will never not adore.

Little Facts

Zheritz is originally my concept of USA for a countryhumans AU and is also heavily inspired by Zeus, specifically his status a god of justice and the stories where he changed shape to seduce people.

The description has been made using The Tower, song by Lydia the bard and Neoni as a base.

however she can work as an standalone OC

💉     ZHERITZ  

◟   Danger Level: High   ⨟   Architect of the Mind

SAFE AND SOUND, MY LIFE DEVOURED 𓈒 ✦

A maiden with androgynous, remarkably refined features. Her pale skin is marked by a small row of beauty marks along the upper left side of her face. Her eyes are crimson, as red as the blood flowing through her veins. The left eye bears a snow-white circular pupil, while the right holds a charcoal-black square pupil, giving her an unsettling sense of duality. Most people believe her heterochromia reflects her two-faced nature.

Framing her face are two loose white strands escaping from an intricate braid. Her hair is thick and naturally curly, though she never wears it down. From afar, it appears beautiful, but the truth is that she takes no care of it whatsoever. In fact, there are times when she yanks at her own hair during manic episodes.

She also wears glasses due to astigmatism.

I REALIZE, I AM THE TOWER 𓈒 ✦

There is a point high above where the air no longer exists. That is where she aims to build her walls, so impossibly high that not even memories can reach her.

Zheritz is the Architect of the Mind, the one who decides who may enter and who is left to rot in the void. Deep within that abyss, she buries every act of unnecessary violence she has ever committed.

When she descends from that place, smiling, she returns as someone entirely different. She can impersonate other gods, and no one ever realizes who they are truly speaking to.

She often flirts as a means of gaining power over others. Their discomfort eventually pushes them into a submissive position.

She is incapable of genuine empathy. Though she understands the concept

- 🪾

YOOOOOOOO COUNTRYHUMANS MENTION

I was never really active in the fandom perse (and never talked about my interest in it because the one time I revealed it I got a bad reaction from a friend I no longer talk to)

Also hell yeah, Lydia the Bard! I love some of her music, especially the villain songs. Belle's in particular makes me scream with joy

Heterochromia has always been a favorite physical design element of mine although the way it biologically came about in history is uh not so cool (inbreeding is fucked up) and it also tends to come with vision issues if you have it naturally

I'll stop being a nerd now 🤣

I can definitely see the inspiration from Zeus in here, the flirting as a means of power especially! Although with the king of the gods it was less only flirting and more he couldn't keep it in his pants for jack diddley squat

I love braids so muchhhhh omg like literally most of my characters have them. Its a little bit crazy actually. And two toned hair hell yeah!! I am all in for that too as a design element >:3

Fun little thing that happened tonight: A friend made me roleplay Secret Agent with them, and there's a part where i made him take the chin of my partner's oc just to anchor him, saying "You'll live", We know it's normally seen as a romantic gesture, but the fun part is that I headcannon that cat as aroace. So we have the oc having a gay panic, while the Secret Agent was completely doing his job as security of the hospital.

-🪾

Can't find the desc I originally wrote so I'll repeat what I can off memory!

So an obvious note was I was a demigoddess daughter of the Norse goddess Hela, who in my dream took on a very similar appearance to how Mumza from dsmp is depicted by fanartists (very motherly, big wings, wore a veil). And for some reason Herobrine was trying to steal some of her power via a shrine. Obviously I wasn't gonna let that happen so after a scuffle I had him pinned to the ground and started choking him out. So yeah, that's why I said it was sort of enemies to lovers. Sadly I woke up before I could get to the lovers part 😭

Yesterday I had this really weird dream about Scar. I was one of her targets, a rabbit who was actually disguised as other species. She pretend that she didn't want to kill me and acted friendly, since I knew better, I avoided her. Then it got to the chase part where she followed me all the way to my house, was about to kill my family and stuff, I didn’t let her do that. And it turns out I stabbed her while kissing her. I ran away shortly after. But she wouldn't stop chasing me. At one point, I was in a cave.

we have then this conversation where she tells me I’m "gay and repressed"

And I’m like, “EXCUSE ME MISS?? I DON’T WANT YOU, YOU’RE TRYING TO KILL ME!!”

So basically toxic yuri with my own oc, insane.

Scar was surprisingly in character specially the whole "you are a closet case in denial", is something she actually said in cannon to other character of mine.

The only thing my dream failed when characterizing her, is that she was more proactive in trying to kill me when she is actually someone who likes to play with her food yk.

-🪾

TOXIC YURI FOR THE WINNNN

Stabbing someone while kissing them to distract them is honestly a power move hell yeah!! 🔥🔥🔥

As for Animal Hospital, heh, I agree with you, I don't think much of Roblox when it comes to games. None of them really grab my attention, but my friends sometimes drag me into playing. One of them suggested doing an OC x Canon pairing because I actually liked the secret agent character. My headcanon for him is that he wouldn't hesitate to kill Lottie if she exposed the hospital's secrets; no matter how much he cares for her, she isn't an exception just because she's his love interest. ♪

My studies are going well. I find it funny that I can wear whatever I want to class, but for exams, they absolutely insist I wear a suit and tie. Who came up with that dress code? I’d like a word with them.

The heat is the worst; high temperatures make me feel dizzy, though that might be due to my health issues.

people who actually know how to play Minecraft intimidate me a bit. I'm terrible at games, so I prefer watching others play.

I'm also sad because I lost the piece I wrote about Scar fighting Allen (another OC of mine). </3

- 🪾

God I feel you on that. I can confirm: its the insecurity talking and you should absolutely smash it with a hammer >:3 ALSO GOD HIMSELF COULD NOT STOP ME FROM ANSWERING THESE ASKS YOU'RE AWESOME AND I WANNA TALK TO YOUUUU

That is so valid I've occasionally just looked at a character and went "huh, I wonder what a (this one oc in particular) would look like in a story with this blorbo"

IM SORRY A SUIT AND TIE WHILE UNDER STRESS FROM EXAMS IN THIS FUCKING HEAT??? ARE THEY TRYING TO MURDER YOU OMG 😭

NUUUUUUU LOSING YOUR WRITING IS ONE OF THE WORST FEELINGS EVER 💔💔💔 this is why I always recommend either Obsidian or Ellipsus for writing the version history has saved my butt more then once

EDIT BECAUSE I'M A DOOFUS WHO CLICKED POST TOO FAST

So again an oc x cannon, this time with Secret Agent from "Animal Hospital" (roblox game), good thing is that he does not really have a canon personality so i had to improvise it.

I was thinking if sending you other things I wrote while studying but again am taking seriously not filling your blog with my writing. since this one is a bit short i thought; "Well, why not."

(( story ahead ))

Exercising brutality against anomalies made him feel fulfilled, and that satisfaction was what reminded him what it was like to be a living being capable of feeling adrenaline.

The trigger was his freedom right at his fingertips, but obviously he had to pull it at key moments. He couldn’t just lash out at everything that crossed his path.

And taking the cat out for a walk was better than keeping it locked up in a cage. It was that terrifyingly controlled violence that caught the pharmacist’s attention.

“It’s not just the job, is it?” The goat kept her eyes fixed on the papers, but her attention was on the living presence and that of her victim, who remained on the floor, since the cleaning staff hadn’t come by yet. “You enjoy this.”

The movement of his tail, slowly rising upward, followed by the sound of a purr that sounded more like a hoarse laugh, showed that he wasn’t bothered by the observation.

“The gun makes me feel powerful,” he said, tilting his head while still with his back turned, taking steps backward to move away from the body, admiring his handiwork. “And there’s no greater satisfaction than using that power over someone who’s trying to hurt you.”

Far from showing any unease, Lottie analyzed the words and stored them in her mind, in a safe place where she could use them later. Because clearly, she, too, had her own agenda and was no stranger to getting her hands dirty.

Mistrust and doubt were not things one could afford to have around such an unpredictable individual; everyone was there out of a sense of duty, and it was clear that the agent was actually enjoying himself.

But one thing she knew for sure.

This feline hadn’t always been so imposing.

Equally interesting and terrifying, if anyone were to ask her.

“Could you get me some tea?” she asked. Sometimes, the best peace offering was to avoid mentioning the matter.

The truce was accepted, she perceived on how the cat moved around the room, more relaxed than before.

Maybe this one would become a favorite companion. Who knows.

HELL YEAH 🪾 ANON RETURNS!!!!

Ive seen Animal Hospital be mentioned around once or twice (I don't play much roblox tbh or pay attention to it)

Two dangerous characters who hold a sort of mutual respect for each other because they know each other is dangerous while still not fully trusting each other but they're too fascinated to stay away 🤌 delicious!!

I hope studying has been going well!! I've been in exhaustion & overheating hell 🥲 I NEED THIS SUMMER TO LITERALLY CHILL OUT SO I CAN GET BACK TO WORKING ON MY FICS

Rn there's at least 3 in planning + a lot of potential oneshot ideas

Rambling about Scar, I like to think she's suppose to be likable based on her goofball and impulsive personality, but also is impossible to root for her. Because of both things of her backstory and current story that are pretty unforgivable.

- She fakes inability to walk for a whole year in one refugee town

- Manipulation of everyone around her, she doesn't realize is manipulation since really doesn't have a plan in mind. Consequence of her recklessness all over again.

And you know what's really cool but also kind of terrifying? she is capable to admit all this and still don't want to have consequences for her actions.

Evil requires intent to hurt, Scar doesn't want to hurt others, even if she has some intrusive thoughts about it or ends up doing so anyway.

That's why she's in a lot of ways the protagonist and Villain of her own ruin.

Her Most Reedemable trait is that she's very forgiving but even this is tied to a weird concept of friendship she has. Used to thinking herself as the worst being that walked the earth, so when others wrong her or do bad things too, Scar doesn't blame them. Her love is unconditional, even if you hurt her, she will not fall on the propaganda of a friend being bad.

Can you tell i need more self destructive female characters that are not just depressed or an alcoholic mother—

I'm gonna go back to studying now, Bye!

- 🪾

God that's so valid though. As someone who does have/has a few friends with the issue of being self-destructive this is some damn nice representation! Honestly we do need more female characters who are all happy-go-lucky and forgiving but are also hella self-destructive. I need me a story where a bunch of friends don't even notice that their gal friend is having a severe mental breakdown until one of them makes a stupid comment in the group chat and she just unloads a torrent of pain (is this from personal experience? Yes, yes it is)

I also think we should have more female characters with issues in general. Support women's rights and wrongs!! If you love a male character who's an absolute douchebag but hate them if they're genderflipped then that is literally a double standard and I will not be convinced otherwise

Oof sorry for the mini tangent I get a bit heated over this topic. I used to be such an avid reader of fics but I genuinely got turned off from it because people kept making the f!reader be a doormat and frankly I've already had enough of being one of those for the rest of my life

About the Necklace, who gave it to her? Was a reward for being In the camp for that long or just a sentimental item?

The Earring is given to kids of Hecate in general or is Koráki specific?

Since she has been on tartarus, does she feels herself Older or Younger? Depending on how much time she has been there

The scar, how she got it?

Those are the ones I came up with. Have fun!

This might be my last message for this month, I have a lot of teachers to prove wrong about me. How Exciting!

-🪾

Oh you just hit my lore button hard

Alright so! For demigods their lives are more or less constantly in danger when they're aware of what they are as monsters from Greek mythology will try to murder them any chance imaginable. Due to this they have a place safe from monsters called Camp Halfblood where demigods can choose to live for the summer or year-round and for every year they live there, a wooden bead will be added to the necklace they wear. So its sort of a tally for how many years they've survived while living in camp basically.

The enchantment on the earring is what's common to Hecate kids, the earring is just the medium Ko chose to have the enchantment placed on.

She definitely feels older but only mentally since she didn't physically age any differently. She was stuck in Tartarus for about 2 days at 16 years old but even then she was left with severe trauma (hence her fear of silence, being cornered, and void-like spaces where sound and light are basically nonexistent)

Her scar came about very early on in life when she was originally found out as a demigod by a Hermes kid who was trying to bring her to camp! There should actually be a blurb of that moment somewhere on my blog

Aw I'll miss you 💔 seeing your asks in my inbox is such a mood booster for me. Go prove those teachers hella wrong about any assumptions they have about you!! I've got faith in you ✨ I hope to see you around again 🪾 anon

The fog had rolled across the streets so thickly it looked like it was straight out of a horror movie. Few people dared to brave it, most staying huddled against the walls of buildings. A young woman walked straight down the sidewalk with her jacket hood pulled up and eyes on a constant swivel. She didn’t need to worry about giving her presence away by voice or footsteps for once.

Doesn’t mean Ko intended to stop being quiet in volume or movement. She’d seen the results of not being cautious firsthand, and it wasn’t an experience she ever intended to repeat.

A soft whine resounded in her head.

“I’m fine Lýkos. I promise.”

It wasn’t entirely a lie, the demigoddess was always scarily composed. But being back here certainly brought back memories. As she walked past a familiar alleyway she had to resist the urge to turn her head and look. For what? It’s not like there’d be a bloodstain left. Fingertips gently curl over her cheek and she feels the soft scar tissue of the two lines running parallel to her left eye.

There’s no outrunning the past. Not when it chases after her everyday, waiting for its chance to take another bite. But that doesn't mean she has to deal with it today.

- 🪾

I-

How in the world did you send me this the same day I write a Koráki drabble??? ≽(◉˕ ◉ ≼マ I'm genuinely befuddled but I am not about to throw this gift away!!

So one of my favorite ocs I don't talk much about is actually a Percy Jackson OC! Her name is Koráki Armitage and she is a daughter of Hecate; the Greek goddess of magic basically. Is my magic fanatic showing yet? 🤣

Her first name means Crow in Greek and she was actually named by her godly parent as Hecate's personal crows immediately took a liking to Ko upon her effectively just popping into existence one day (Hecate is a virgin goddess like Athena and Hestia for example, so any children of theirs is basically divine magic'd into existence)

She also has a hellhound familiar named Lykos which is greek for wolf (poor Ko didn't have the best naming sense as an itty bitty demigoddess when she first properly discovered what she was)

Lighting round below!

facts: Zaku has a little pink flower in the hair, matches his eyes. And a black fan as weapon. Wood elemental Wolf and The current Alpha of his Pack because he's gentle and inspires more confidence than most. :D

Okay! Maybe he gives dead wife vibes! It was not intentional. He's not dead, the wife thing is still up to debate though.

- 🪾

that has got to be one of the best ways I've ever been greeted that actually made me giggle so happily thank you<3

YASSSSS HES NOT THE DEAD WIFE THAT MEANS HE CAN PHYSICALLY HAUNT HER WHICH IS EVEN BETTER

"The roads on mount Fuji are straighter then she is"

You get to see the raw WIP Version (later i have to add more stuff)

scar and zaku (friends of hers before everything went to shit WOOW)

The bandage wasn’t applied carefully, but with Zaku’s teeth, and then tightened more than necessary. Her black eyes were fixed on her now-bandaged fingers, moving them slightly to check how tight it was.

“Do you think this will give me a scar?” The girl with gray locs finally looked up, but she gazed at a corner of his neck instead of the wolf’s eyes.

“What? Aren’t the ones on your face enough to live up to your name?” He seemed tired despite his half-hearted attempt at a joke.

“It’s never enough for the Great Scar!” The laugh that escaped her shook her completely.

Zaku’s white left ear twitched, already sensing the presence of his pack.

“Well, the Great Scar won’t have any trouble saying a deer bit her, right?”

Scar stopped avoiding his gaze, her eyes wide as she raised her hands in a defensive gesture.

Zaku’s smile was truly calm, unlike that of the other wolves she’d met. But that didn’t take away the mocking curve at the corners of his lips or the pink gleam in his eyes.

“I don’t remember that happening! You’re a liar! no one’s going to believe you!”

“What about the hand I just bandaged for you?” He leaned over her.

Oh God, how she hated it when he did that.

“I got that in a really epic fight with a rival.” Her excuses already sounded stupid, and she knew it. But she REFUSED to admit it, it went against her pride.

"UH-HUUUH..." then he kissed her Forehead. "Adorable~"

She was taken aback for a solid moment, Ice cold, kinda funny considering her element.

when she moved her hands, she touched her forehead. feeling the little thread of Warmth.

"You should stop doing that in middle argument."

he wagged his tail in front of her.

"Because...?" the tease was obvious, ‘come on, scar lose control’

"Because you are not winning it! and... is kinda loser behavior you are trying to flirt with me for the win"

"You will prefer i flirt with you seriously?"

"Well, OBVIOUSLY"

"...Wha—"

she took him by the collar, forcing him to crouch and then kissed him.

it was Messy as you could expect from kissing a reckless husky to be honest. Violent, and kinda uncomfortable.

Zaku didn't mind.

Actually he even liked it.

EXCITED SCREAMING

WE GONNA BE FEASTING GOOD SOON!!!

God I hope Zaku will be a reoccurring figure that haunts Scar's steps whenever she chooses to hurt someone that would be so goodddd. I can just imagine her suffering from flashbacks and maybe even some nightmares? So much potential I love it ✨✨✨

I made Scar with the sole purpose of doing the opposite of a lot of tropes i'm used to seeing in media.

Because normally people assume tragic past where you are the villain makes you the edgy type, But Scar just... isn't. She jokes around and is silly about it. And i think she would stay that way even as Evil.

-🪾

THANK GOD FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT GO WITH THE CALCULATING VILLAIN TROPE

Dont get me wrong it can be really good when done well it just… isn't always done very well. A lot of what I see if that they lean so far into it the villain becomes borderline egotistical
