Asher < 3< Ashiok. It's a dream come true. Specifically a nightmare.

Honestly, I just want to see them fight. One struggling to retain his humanity and sanity, one shedding humanity entirely... one that uses nightmares pragmatically, one that uses nightmares fanatically... It would be interesting, you must admit!

Xantcha <3 Ratepe [cries forever]

I don't know how I ship Teysa and Whatshisface the Boros Bigdude, but I definitely ship them somehow.

Bolas <3 Chimney Imp is inspired. Bolas needs a cutesy mascot character to improve his image and Chimney Imp is both hated enough that Bolas won't look bad using him as a living stress ball and beloved enough that he can make the occasional valuable contribution.

Love in the Tides

The sea was calm and serene, the waves but small ripples on the grand scheme of things. Kiora was exhausted, but her work would pay off soon. And all the while, the one she loved most got her through that hardship.

"They're almost hatching" she reassured it, kissing it's decaying, seagrass filled stump where it was once connected to Tezzeret's arm socket. Small hatchetfish swam around it, taking bites from the flesh not covered by vegetation.


The arm reassured her, it's hand tighening on hers, giving her strength to carry on. Feeling safe and powerful once again, the merfolk channeled water one last time to the eggs, one last burst of pure oxygen, and they started to glow, the form of their children well evident. Now it was up to them to do the rest.


"That's it, break the plasma membrane!" she encouraged her young, moving her free hand over her eggs.


"Yes, listen to momma kids!" the arm could not speak, but Kiora spoke for it very well indeed, in a true ventriloquist fashion.


And they did. At once, the plasma membranes were undone, and the young merfolk-arm hybrids began swimming freely, laughing and cheering and they hugged and nuzzled against their parents. They were still larvae, their skin transparent and having pwoerful tails instead of legs, but they already possessed well developed arms and brains. An extra pair of arms was present on their head like antennae or horns, betraying their true parentage. The first to hatch, a daughter, swam happily in the space between Kiora's doting face and the arm's stump, grabbing hatchetfish with her head-arms and crushing them to death.


"Papa!" she said, hugging the arm.


"Oh, you're so sweet!" said Kiora, voicing her partner, "What shall we name her?"


"Well, how about Tangaroa?" said Kiora in her normal voice.


"Yay! Tangaroa Tangaroa!" giggled the little merfolk larvae, twiching her tadpole tail in happiness.


"I think she likes it!" said Kiora again, voicing the arm.


"Now lets name the others."


And so Kiora kissed her one true love once more, before both spending the rest of the afternoon naming their one thousand offspring.

Ugh, they're a terrible couple.
fblthp is so submissive, but stuffy doll is an active masochist... well, the new one at least. The old one not so much.

Fblthp X literally anybody

Does anybody else remember on the old forums when someone wrote a slash fiction of him and the high council of Azorius?

If my years of magic play have taught me anything, it's that sometimes, you've gotta go deep.

I'm surprised nobody suggested Nobilis of War x Mogis, considering they're both unsubtle gods of war that cause misery and hatred.

I was thinking about Ajani and Elspeth and was like "what does he see in her" and then I was like "duh, he's empathic; he sees the good in her she doesn't think exists."

And now I'm like "Awwwwww, he can see the good in her she doesn't think exists."

No wonder Barinellos has such a good connection.

And now I'm like "Awwwwww, he can see the good in her she doesn't think exists."

:gross:
That is one trait about Elspeth that I really don't like. She's constantly blaming herself for surviving her childhood or failing to stop planar level disasters. It also has me kinda pissed that she wound up heading into the doomed Mirrordin, as she already had traumas about the Pherexians, and I'm not sure she'll ever have a good chance of recovering from them now, since she probably blames herself for failing to save Mirrodin as well and basically sees herself as just as bad as the Pherexians for what she did in her childhood to survive them, and she failed what she probably sees as her one redemption chance, and didn't even get to go out in a blaze of glory like she thinks Koth did (it isn't clear that anyone specific except Venser actually died).

Having Ashiok nearby up to nightmare shennanigans can't be good for her either, or Theros, as given the weird magic Elspeth has been exposed to, including the immunity to the glistening oil she has been granted, there is a decent chance that her nightmares-made-real would actually have a decent chance of infecting Theros with the oil, and even if not that, it certainly can't help her recover from her recent traumas.

And then right after the victory party she helped with she gets blamed for no apparent reason for frikkin Xenagos.

I have a feeling they are either using her as an eternally unlucky woobie, or they plan on having her go Aribeth and turn into dark Elspeth being all 'evil' and **** because being good has constantly 'backfired' on her and now she wants revenge on the multiverse or something.
