Dustin was always a fan of music, mostly showtunes and the occasional jazz. He was always picked on by Will, Mike, Lucas, and Max for his music taste, but he didn't really mind it.

But when he joined Hellfire, the teasing continued, everyone taking on Eddie’s music, the party now listening to more rock and metal, yet he never seemed to get into it. He never minded the teasing, but it was getting rather annoying.

“All right, now everyone gets ready to thank me, but I have just done an amazing thing.” Eddie smiles, looking at the three boys.

”What is it?” Mike asks, putting away his DND dice,

“I, oh so gratefully, have successfully bought four tickets to the greatest metal show ever! With…backstage passes!” Eddie yells, waving the four tickets in the boys faces.

“To what show?” Dustin asks,

“Only to one of the greatest voices that metal has to offer!” He yells at Dustin, throwing him his ticket. Dustin stares at the name, “Velvet Apocalypse" he groans at it,

“Do I have to come?” Dustin asks,

“Yes, yes you do Henderson, or next campaign you die first turn” Eddie warns, throwing a die at him, making Dustin roll his eyes,

“Fine, but I’m not going to have a good time,” Dustin warns.

And that’s how he got here, all the boys dressed in black and ready to rock.

They entered the set; it was dark, illuminated by a stage light. It wasn't a big stage but enough that it seemed full. Dustin sees people who look just like Eddie. People with Mohawks, dyed hair, spikes, nothing like what Dustin had seen before.

Before he could ask anytime anything, all the other boys were busy talking to everyone, learning about hair routines and DIY clothes. Dustin lingers around, trying to find something to do. He was moping around, practically ready to leave until he heard the crowd clap, and then he turned around and saw you.

You come out smiling in full goth attire. Long leather jacket, black mini skirt with belts decorating it and with black fishnets. Black off the shoulder shirt with so many necklaces. And your face, god you were beautiful to Dustin. Completely white face, black contour and lipstick. Bright blue eyeliner and hair that looked fluffed up and straightened at the same time.

You wave at everyone as your team brings out their instruments.

“Welcome everybody! We are Velvet Apocalypse and thank you so much for being here!” You say to your audience. You hear the cheers of the audience, smiling as your team gives you the go-ahead to start.

Dustin was completely enamored. He watched as you danced along the stage as you sang, confident in what you did. He stood in the back, watching in awe as you sang. You were beautiful, and Dustin could not pull his eyes off of you. The crowd loved it too, moshing and ghouling to your songs. The spotlight felt good, you loved it. The feeling of everyone cheering for you, praising your songs, you loved it.

At the end of your set you and your band mates bow, saying bye to your fans as you head backstage, preparing for the meeting.

You stand by your table, ready to sign anything.

“Holy shit that was your best set yet!” Eddie yells, toppling you into a hug.

“Thanks Eddie” You laugh, hugging him back.

“Your hair is also great this time” he teases, ruffling it.

“Oh come on leave it alone” You laugh, taking his hand off,

“You two know each other?” Mike asks, starting at the duo.

“Yeah, he's been one of my first fans, he's been to a ton of my shows” you giggle, hugging him again,

“Okay so what the hell are you two doing there standing around like idiots come ay hi!” Eddie says, motioning for them to step forward.

Lucas and Mike quickly go to meet you, yet Dustin stays back. He’s star-struck by you, and his feet don't seem to move to greet you.

You greet Lucas and Mike, getting to know a bit about them as you speak to them, yet you see one of them linger in the back

”So who’s this?” You ask, approaching Dustin,

“Hi” he says quickly, his body stiffing as his cheeks flush,

“Hi?” You say, smiling a bit, “What’s your name?”

”My name? Oh uh, yknow its uh Dustin” he says, not sure where exactly he wants to place his eyes on you.

Eddie laughs, swinging an arm around him, "Don't mind him he's not a fan of metal he just came because I told him to, honestly Im not even sure if-“

“No, I loved the set!” Dustin says quickly, cutting off Eddie. Eddie stares at him in confusion,

“You did?” He asks, Mike and Lucas sneering in the back.

“Uh, well glad you liked it!” You say, giving him a pat on his shoulder. Dustin jumps a bit, cheeks even more red.

You see Eddie look over at Mike and Lucas, smiling and nodding before patting you on the back,

“Okay, two or three of them are hungry, I'm gonna leave Dustin here to finish our time while I get the others food, we’ll be back to collect the kid later!” Eddie says, grabbing Mike and Lucas quickly before exiting the room quickly,

“Well he's never done that before” You joke with Dustin.

Dustin doesn't respond, he just stares at you, a bit star struck but a bit scared of what to say,

“Uh, if you really didn't enjoy the set that's fine, metal isn't for everyone I get it” you say, shrugging your shoulders a bit,

“No no I loved it, really, I don’t Ike metal music but this was amazing, you were amazing” Dustin says, smiling a bit at you,

“Oh, well glad you liked it, I saw you in the crows and you weren’t dancing or anything so I kinda thought you hated it” you laugh a bit,

“No I was just amazed, you were incredible” Dustin smiles,

“Thanks” You smile, “Do you have anything you want me to sign or did you just show up?” You ask,

“Oh, uh, I don't have anything, sorry” Dustin says,

“That’s fine, we can just talk” you say, sitting on top of the table you had, “tell me a bit about yourself Dustin” you smile.

Dustin takes a second to open up, stuttering a bit over his words until he lands on the science topic. Once you started asking questions he started blooming. He was smiling and laughing as he told you science facts, talking about how your sound system works, and he was having a good time talking to you.

You look him up and down, wearing the same hellfire shirt that Eddie wore when he saw you, hair curled into almost a mullet, rings on his lingers that really shined.

He was cute, ambitious, sweet, and a tad timid talking to you, you liked him.

After he finishes his rambling, he quiets, unsure of what to say next.

“Uh, sorry, I don't know what to say” he smiles sheepishly,

“Dont sweat it, we can just hang here for until they come back” you smile, getting off the table,

“I like your jewelry by the way, Eddie picked them out with you didn't he” you ask,

“Oh, yeah he said, he thought I would suit them” Dustin smiles, looking at the rings on his fingers.

“They look good, I like them” you smile,

“Thanks, I like yours too, the necklace is cool” he says. You stare at one of the necklaces on you, a simple long necklace with a cross on it. You take it off, placing it on his neck instead. It dangles, you stare at it before smiling at him,

“It looks better on you” you say. Dustin smiles, blushing brushing his cheeks as he thanks you.

After a few more minutes of conversation, the three other boys finally walk in again, no food you note. You smile, understanding what Eddie was trying to do.

“Welcome back” you tease, hitting his chest softly, rolling your eyes at him with a smile.

He leans down, whispering in your ear, “So? What did you think?” Eddie asks.

You turn to your side, whispering in his ear, “Thank god you left, we had sex until you guys came back” you tease.

Eddie laughs, hugging you and ruffling your hair, making him laugh.

“All right, now say your goodbyes and we leave” Eddie says, giving you one of his rings to sign.

Mike and Lucas do the same, handing you a poster and a CD for you to sign.

The four walk away, saying bye before you call out.

“Dustin wait” You say, walking up to him,

“Huh? What is it?” He asks,

You grab his hand, writing your number down on his hand, ”You didn't have anything to sign, but I didn't want you to walk empty handed, maybe call me around 6? I'll see you four at my next show” you smile, kissing his cheek, noticing the black lipstick mark left behind, then walking back to your table as the next batch of guests come in.

@rinbathtubbers

this lowkey feels like a shrine…

Celeoniss is both a protagonist and antagonist in my story. This is a really brief touch into his lore and I’ll try to keep it as short as possible.

He parallels/contrasts Alyanmir (my LDB) and, in a different way, Marielle (LDB’s daughter).

(I’ll put celeoniss’s early life at the end since it’s not something anyone but he knows during most of his story)

Celeoniss left Alinor for Cyrodiil as he craved more freedom and wanted to escape the rage he felt at home.

The Oblivion crisis convinced him of how helpless and useless humans and the empire were. He returned home to Alinor to* ultimately help the thalmor overthrow the monarchy so he could start shaping the world more in his vision.

He finds the more power and knowledge he accumulates, the more life bores him.

He begins craving more games, entertainment unpredictability and chaos

He prefers to use a gentle but manipulative hand to guide the world and objects of his attention to his vision, but will use violence and fear when it’s a better option than his mind games.

He is capable of fondness and affection for others. He usually has one object of attention at a time in one shape or another. Be it his children, an apprentice, or a “partner.” He jokingly considers it a weakness, but, particularly as he transitions towards boredom from the pursuit of power, he becomes more and more obsessed with playing with whomever is currently in his sights.

Notable partners: the mother of his children, Martin, Erthor (very briefly), Mouse

The mother of his children knew you did not want to be the center of his attention and never married or even lived with him beyond what was necessary for child rearing.

He has four children. He convinced his eldest (and most obedient son) to mantle Sheogorath for him, but finds every passing year he has less and less control over him as his son completely disappears.

I draw the Mouse era frequently because it represents a turning point in his life. He just helped Calcarya (his apprentice and my Dragonborn’s mother) take over his position leading the thalmor party so he could take a less active advising role and focus on his magic experiments. With less responsibilities, his more lawful evil origins really started eroding here. He really latches onto this international fugitive spell thief assassin that broke into his house as his new game (and fun secret to try and keep from his peers). In the original universe I wrote, she was how Marielle and Daphne were related to Celeoniss, but in the main universe Marielle is not related to him by blood.

Celeoniss has sold his soul for power to three Daedric princes. To escape paying his debt, he decides to just not die. He was not a fan of traditional lichdom and discovered away to live on his progeny using them as wisdom and intelligence batteries to sustain himself as is. He hoped his son mantling sheo would help him weasel out of his contracts, but did not realize his son would basically completely disappear into sheo almost immediately.

During the second Great War, he steals Marielle’s ear which allows him to access to possessing not only his own bloodline, but hers as well. He has a primary plan on how to use the Montaxs to his favor against the princes, but also has plenty of back up plans as well.

Early life celeo that the other characters don’t know about:

His father was a court mage for the royal family. He was able to take celeoniss with him to work nearly every day since celeo was basically also his apprentice. He has no idea it would cause celeo to start questioning who deserved to have authority over others.

Celeo’s mother was a ceremonial priestess in Alinor. He only saw her during her time off work and cared less for her. But she did accidentally teach him that religion’s primary purpose is to control and manipulate others :/

Celeoniss’s father died in the oblivion crisis in Alinor as he was far too old to actually be in active combat but wanted to do as much as he could to protect the young mer around him that still had their whole lives ahead of them.

When Celeoniss found out about this, he flew into a rage and was convinced the royal family ordered his elderly father into the gate to die. He had fleeting fantasies of regicide his whole life, but thought he was finally moving on.

I’ll avoid yapping too much but basically Celeoniss kills everyone in the monarchy while lying to himself saying it’s for social justice but he’s really just pissed his dad died.

Well I introduced him a while ago and some of you might know him already, but I finally finished his week-late character sheet! X3

(Yes that little siopao is a reference to that one short)

Brief backstory:

Lived with his father and mother before his father took the family money and left them when Ace was only seven. Ever since then, he’s carried a resentment toward his father and has helped his mother manage the meager household funds and raise his little brother, Wyatt, who was born shortly after their father departed. His mother encouraged him to enjoy his childhood and not worry too much about helping out, but he insisted on helping out and took on several odd jobs growing up to support the family. He had a dream of becoming an engineer, but mostly gave up on it to instead focus on pursuing a practical career that could bring money. He received his Hogwarts letter and began attending the magic school as a first year.

Other info:

Dense when it comes to romance (if his early years flirting strategies weren’t a giveaway😂) Very oblivious to when people give an interest to him. IMPORTANT NOTE: unlike Jocie, he isn’t a chronic flirt (though he can come off that way lol); he’s just a guy who likes to have fun and joke around.

Once he does realize his feelings though, he’ll be the most dedicated and thoughtful partner you could ask for. He’s an “eyes only for you” kinda guy who devotes himself wholly to his partner.

A chaser on the Slytherin quidditch team

In canon, Seb doesn’t like him because he reminds him of himself and he’s flirting with Bee😂 in non-SeBee universes….Seb still doesn’t like him🤣 I swear Ace isn’t provoking him on purpose lmfao

Really good with kids (he’s a great older brother to Wyatt)

The best way to connect with him is by supporting his dreams, which he doesn’t believe possible, and by discouraging his self-sacrificing tendencies. Bee did this for him when they were younger, which was why he developed such a big crush on her early on

A pretty manly dude who’s also very comfortable with his feminine side. Except emotions. He represses those with jokes 🙈

Very open minded forward thinker who loves exploring ideas and possibilities. He expresses love for people by supporting them in making their dreams come true

Just a huge lovable dork who thinks he’s a cool guy🤭 (he is; just in a better way that conventions imply).
