deeply concerning, the result of deep boredom. there are some elements which remain interesting (the idea of everyone being androginous and nonbinary) though most of it was deeply unoriginal and uninspired, aswell as originating in lazyness (i couldnt decide any of their genders ((fem or twink the ultimate question))). im only just remermbering most fo this but yeah.

from what i remember it was about two specific characters airon who was caaran (humanoid) and Plaedie whyo was velk (huge fucking demon thing). from what i remember airon was a twinkish arsehle with a limp (guess two of the fandoms im in) and plaedie was this shapeshifting rowan whitethorn adjacnent. both of them were such dickheads. both androginous but plaedie was more butch and airon. mre twinkish (aahh, the two genders, gay and gay)(please note that they are butch, not masculine, butch, as in masculine in a feminine way. im bending gender here.no straight vibes in my houshold). the whole shtick was that the velk could be tricked into a demon human partnership if their ribbon was stolen from the and secured to the human/caaran's body.

the velk could only transform into caaran adjacet beings when tethered to one but then their will is limited. some velk choose to put their trust into a caaran to give them more contro over their bodies, some choose to go solo for freedom of their actions.

story is, airon (air-on) was vounerable out in the woods on their own (not being able to fight back affectively against tethered pairs and subject to frequent muggings by untethered caaran.) and so decided to find a solo velk to trick/persuade into a partnership, just till they make it out of the woods. they see Plaedie (p-lady) wandering out in the woods in demon form and was like "hhhmmm >:)". one of the common tactics employed by solo velk who wish to stay untethered is to hide the ribbons (usually tied to a horn or leg) among many other ribbons. so, airon watches them for a few days, sees which ribbons they care about most, the ones they check on, and then narrows it down to two.

they take a risk.

they sneak up while they were sleepingand were on ly able to untie one ribbon beffore plaedie strted stirring. they held teh ribbonm infront fo their face. "travel with me." they said. "i need someone to walk with, i will give this back to you i=f you just promise to wait for me and scare away anyone who wished to hurt me with your presence." plaedie, who hasntnspoken in many many (hey it just deleted heaps of what i just said so im repeating this >:(. ) years just nods anoyedly. if you haventn noticed yer, this is a selkie metaphor. they gain eachpothers trust and all. its cute yayaya. havent decided whether or not its a romance yet. oh yeah, Pinterest
