Have a modern folktale of Volo I wrote a couple days ago.
Once, there was a couple who had five daughters, but because of their sexism, she and her husband wanted a son. With each subsequent daughter, they had grown more and more desperate to have a baby boy, but the gods, sensing their ill intentions, ignored their fervent pleas and their false displays of devotion. Finally, they turned to what they saw as their last hope, the one so powerful that even the gods feared his wrath: Volo himself.
"No one else will help us," the husband said. "Please. We beg of you. Give us a baby boy."
"And what would you give me in exchange, hm~?" Volo purred in reply.
"Anything you ask," said the wife. "Save for our lives. And our fortunes. And our talents. And our fame. And--"
"And your children?" he said, sensing already that there was nothing else they would be willing to give him.
"Yes, I think that's a fair arrangement," the wife said.
"Five daughters for a son? What a bargain!" the husband said with a laugh.
"Drink this on your way home. Both of you," Volo said, procuring two vials of potion from his robes. "The next time you will be with child, you shall have what you seek."
Five daughters for a son: They thought it had been a bargain indeed. But what they didn't know was that Volo was the only one achieving his aims in any way here. He had asked for the five daughters because the parents were mistreating them and he wanted to raise them better. And as for the son?
Well.
Volo was there the day of the child's birth, on which the mother and husband were shocked to see their newborn child was yet another girl.
"What is this?" the mother cried. "You promised--"
"Ah," Volo replied, "but you did not say your son had to be cis."
No words were spoken--but the crushed looks of hurt, disappointment and betrayal on the parents' faces said it all. And as Volo saw they were transphobic as well as ungrateful for his faerie blessing, his own face grew harsh and cold with rage. Shadows gathered around him, as well as a feeling of bitter cold, and a winter wind of the Alabaster Icelands whipped through the room.
"You are unworthy, then," he snarled. He snatched the child from their mother's breast, and into the shade he vanished.
The parents never did see any of their children again--but as I'm sure you can infer given how they treated them, that was by the children's choice.
If y'all ever wonder how much I write--
My final update on my family friend's situation.
[tw death]
He was given one more day. He was taken off life support yesterday and passed at 2:40 AM today.
Rest in peace, my friend. May your memory be a blessing.
Sad news.
[tw death]
The family has just made the decision to take our friend off life support. I will be going to the hospital again this afternoon to say my final goodbyes.
Gonna be putting an emphasis on fluff/humor/comfort & other such positive plots for the time being, both on Tumblr and on Discord, due to something that just happened to someone I know IRL. For now, please do not write, plot or discuss angst without comfort with me, unless I say I want to first. Thank you so much for understanding <3
If you want to know what happened--
[tw medical, death mention]
A really good family friend of mine is in the ICU, unconscious and on life support after a stroke. He's quite old and he's not doing well, and we're all afraid he isn't going to make it. He is also a professor at my university and very big in his field--if he passes it will not just be a devastating loss for our family but also for thousands of others, and I feel that weight adding to my worries. We have the same doctor and when I saw him come in when I was also in, I talked with him whenever I could...No matter what happens I'm glad I treasured the time I had with him. I'm going to be seeing him tonight...I hope he pulls through but if not this is my time to say goodbye. My brain wants to add something here, but other than this, I am out of words.

Just wanted to say because I got three whole accounts that I suspect are bots asking for money in my inbox lately--
My abuser does not allow me to donate money to charitable causes. Even when I want to, I cannot, because she has eyes on every single way in which I can possibly spend money. I also blanketly do not trust and will not accept random people messaging me asking for donations, just as I neither trust nor accept random ass anons trying to warn me about RP partners in their smear campaigns. Since this is a roleplay blog and not a personal blog, I also will not reblog or post donation links for anyone who is not 1) someone I know 2) someone in the RP community or 3) personally vouched for by someone I know well. Any stranger who does not abide by these rules will be blocked on sight.
I could put these in my rules when I get the chance, but if it's bots, it won't stop them. We'll see.
My rule for reblogging musings posts for Brendan is that they're all either super relatable or super soft and wholesome or both
to whom does your heart belong?
your heart belongs to the sun
you are a wildfire waiting to happen, one lit cigarette away from catastrophe. you are passion itself, full of rage and joy and love and pain. you are the driving force behind change, so why are you afraid of it? not all that is new will hurt you. let others into your life. you will not burn them. you do not cause harm inherently, you are wounded. you will heal. i promise you will heal.
A few extra notes
I find it interesting that I picked some of the most aggressive answers for Volo like "I am G-d," "I hurt them" to explain why he was alone, and saying he'd be "the murderer" out of the options murderer, victim, bystander & lover....And yet when he reached the question "will you hurt them, or will they hurt you," he answered "they always hurt me." He still sees himself as primarily a victim, even though he harmed so many people--and even though he has some self-awareness of that harm. And in spite of the fact that when prompted by the last question to give a secret, I felt he would say this:

Volo's dragon hoard of stories is truly impressive. All the stories (and all the literary analysis that he and others have done on them) he's collected over the years are stored in a library that spans hundreds of millions of books and movies, so huge that it dwarfs the Library of Congress. The library is sorted by different types of stories--recorded oral histories, folklore, family stories, novels, movies, video games, etc. Each room, as well as each different storage unit (book, encasing, stone tablet, recording device, etc.) is designed to perfectly fit the aesthetic of the type of story within it, and the rooms are all thematically arranged so that each aesthetic smoothly transitions into the aesthetic of the next room and the arrangement of the rooms themselves are symbolic of a story. And yes, he has designed book jackets and movie/video game covers for every single book, movie and video game he has picked up just so they can fit the aesthetic of the room they are all placed in; such is actually pretty typical behavior for dragons who want to maintain the most impressive possible hoards. He doesn't get rid of the original covers, as he realizes those become a part of history--but he just likes putting jackets over them so everything is cohesive with the aesthetic.
As an example of what goes into these rooms: He has a room dedicated specifically to the stories of the Celestica and the Griseous. Every single one of the book jackets on the shelves has been drawn to create giant murals of legend: stories of the prophets, of Arceus and Giratina, of folktales, of Volo's own story. The books are all also meticulously sorted by genre. There are books that were pre-printed and books that Volo himself wrote down, and the latter were all made as works of art; the stories themselves are all inscribed in the finest calligraphy and often with illustrations to match. The room is lit by massive pillars of glowing, rotating memory stones--stones of light similar to the memory orbs in Inside Out which are an old school way of recording sounds and events--and which house oral history: sacred stories, interviews, recordings of historical events, stories that were told in such a captivating way that Volo felt they were missing something if they were written down, etc. Those pillars' stones are also colored and arranged in the shapes of deities and religious + mythological figures. Every single room in Volo's hoard is like this. It truly is something to behold--and something he could only have achieved with his skill of being able to be in multiple places at once.
The books and other storage units have all had spells cast on them to make them resistant to damage--fire, liquid, mold, even accidental (or purposeful) bending and tearing of the pages. And despite the unfathomably huge size of the hoard, Volo knows every inch of it like the back of his hand. He knows where every story is located on every page of every book on every shelf--because it's his hoard. What dragon wouldn't know it that well?
EMMERGENCY: GET MY DOG TO THE VET
I hate to crawl back and be a beggar but things have gotten dire with our elderly dog Sable. She's stopped eating and is becoming dangerously thin, and unfortunately all the money we bring in goes towards food and paying for our motel room each night. We have an appointment set up for Monday, but:
We can't afford the base appointment, let alone whatever they'll have to do after diagnosis
Our car battery keeps dying due to bad battery cables so its a gamble if we can even make it to the appointment in the first place.
We're looking to gather up at least 200 before Monday, and if anyone could lend a hand it would be greatly appreciated. I'm also still offering those $20 pixel commissions for anyone interested.
My paypal is crystalpromises@gmail.com, or you can support me via my ko-fi. If you can't donate, no worries, but I'd appreciate any shares to get this post circulating.
Volo is a fae. His Pokésouled species was Normal/Fairy before dying and becoming Ghost-types, and they never really lost their faeishness. His favored type to shift to is also Fairy, with his favored full typing being Ghost/Fairy. As such, here is a list of things you can bribe him with if you want him to do favors for you:
Sweets, especially from his cultures. Bonus points if you give him a good recipe.
Good stories of any kind--family stories, myths/folklore, tales from books he hasn't read, comedies, tragedies, slice of life, drama, action, horror...It can also be a story he's heard before, but you have to tell it in an especially entertaining and unique way. He just really loves stories, man. Considering he's a dragon, this would be one of the things he hoards.
Jokes
Secrets and gossip--juicy secrets about your enemies, secrets that his adversaries are hiding from him or gossip about them he can spread, deep dark secrets about yourself (to reward your bravery for telling someone)
Poetry
Traditional handicrafts
Artifacts
Contest performances--but this is not recommended, because he's such a Contest snob that you have to be one of the best performers in history for him to be truly impressed
Things he can stim with
Just in general, anything unique he hasn't seen before
Notice how money isn't on there? Yeah, that's part of why he hated being a merchant. He loves bartering and making deals like any fae does, but the things being bartered and the deals being made in a merchant career bore him to death. He doesn't give two shits about such common, ordinary things as Potions or Poké Balls and he certainly doesn't care for using his talents solely so that his boss and the Ginkgo Guild can make a profit. He would much rather be paid in any of the above--enriching his knowledge, amusing himself, having beautiful things to appreciate. But the rules of that profession say he can only be paid in cold hard cash.
Next Pokemon game should be about a Pokemon who is incubating inside the planet, which is actually an egg. Which is not what Cynthia met but I don't care.
N and Ghetsis' charismatic talents are opposites of each other, though they are both equally strong. Whereas N is wildly charismatic with Pokémon but socially awkward among humans, Ghetsis was wildly charismatic among humans with almost no understanding of Pokémon.
N during his Plasma days was amazing to his Pokémon friends--but humans often found him quite difficult to like once they got past the sweet, calm, peaceful façade that his father always exhorted him to put up. Even at his worst he was always better than Ghetsis. But one couldn't deny the impact that being raised in a cult had had on him and his behavior--there were many ways in which he could be toxic that he often didn't realize, and those were all things he had to unlearn.
Ghetsis, on the other hand, was completely shit garbage to everyone; humans liked him only because he was charismatic enough to make everyone focus on the good traits he pretended to have and to make them think that his negative traits weren't such a big deal. With Pokémon, though, the mask was fully off--he basically couldn't get them to do anything without threats, coercion, or the carrot-and-stick method. If he ever appeared to get anything from a Pokémon due to kindness, you can bet it was only because he abused them into thinking they had no other choice. This N might be more of a jerk than most portrayals of him, but holy shit, at least he understands the importance of gentleness, kindness and loyalty.
"One time I said in an interview that my illusim technique was better than that of the gods. And the gods didn't even smite me for it, 'cause they knew it was true."
N actually quite struggles with the fact that he's A LOT like Ghetsis. Right now he's a lot like what Ghetsis would have been if he had never been an evil bastard, but he shared--and still shares--a lot of dark traits with his father. He has the charisma where he can convince anyone of anything, which is still terrifying even though it's limited to just Pokémon--he could convince any Pokémon that up was down and left was right and the sky was pink. He has the hypocrisy; he often refuses to give people second chances and empathize with people who have been both victims and perpetrators while the idea that he is overall a victim who deserves empathy (despite the fact he was also a perpetrator) has made itself a fundamental part of his narcissist identity. And he has some things that you just cannot speak to him about otherwise it quickly brings out the worst in him--such as some doubters telling him he has no right to be an advocate for Pokémon because of all the damage he caused, or even the fact itself that he's anything like his dad.
If you were to tell him he has things like this in common with Ghetsis though, he'll likely first respond by blowing up at you in furious denial. But then in private he'll have another breakdown, and start sobbing about how he doesn't want to be like the person he hates most and if he is in any way he deserves to die just like his father did.
