THIS THIS THIS. we are giving u all our mental illnessess. open ur mind to the possibility:
scythebelts.
since scythebelts is gaining more popularity (as in ive seen like 3 other ppl talking abt it, which is a huge improvement from when it was just in @jamieycomplainey 's and I's dms) i think everyone needs to know of my favorite au of them, which is the goth/country au
weve gone through many iterations of how it happens, from goth vel and country boy sylnan, to the occasional what if sylnan was a goth and vel was country, theres a lot of backstory that is trapped in our dms which axel would be able to explain better but i think the idea of this needs to exist in peoples minds
im gonna start a charity that will pair every “i hate small talk, tell me something deep” man with a homeless or elderly person who doesn’t often get a chance to talk with people. them mfs do not mess around. today a man told me that i had received 11 thousand blessings in the span of my lifetime without knowing my fucking name. and do you wanna know what? kevin was right. i have.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I have decided to make a truce with my evil aunt, uncle, and evil baby cousin. I also plan to make sure my whole family is Non Binary by the time I leave
i don’t think any of you understand. the impetus, the fucking click behind scythebelts for me, is not strictly romantic. it is that sylnan, his entire life, has been trying to hold on to everything he can and he never gets to. and velrisa, god fucking bless her, has been waiting for someone to hold on to her like that, like nobody really has.
the impetus, the fucking spark, the starting point for everything i write for them, is based upon the gutsense fucking horror of seeing someone reach for you and not knowing if they mean to catch you for certain or just until you’re not useful.
everything else is just fluff and filler. the cleric/rogue dramatics, the high contrast, the jokes, the mutual admiration, the aesthetics- all of it is fluff and filler. good, but just not why i love it.
at core and center, they are holding on to each other until they are bleeding from the goddamn fingernails because nothing else is willing to stay as static and calm as they are. nobody else- not as though it is a personal failing on anyone else’s part, it is simply the way things go- is willing to cling on as hard for some chance at steady ground. sylnan and vel are. that’s what makes me write em.
see i’m TELLING you guys it’s a good time!!!! the relationships! the characters!!! it’s a good time in this dead content soup pot hop in and boil with the rest of us!!!!
tag yr fave character relationships cuz mine is platonic taxi/mountain and romantic sylnan/vel. the vibes. the vibes.
The Fated Five’s relationships with each other is already so interesting, Sylnan trying to help Velrisa with a stealth check while she’s panicking, Br’aad and Taxi joking around with each other and just messing around, Br’aad and Mountain eating the umber hulk after defeating it AND both of them swan diving off the cliff and hitting the ground so violently, Velrisa giving Cat’s Grace to the others but refusing to give it to Taxi because he’s already a cat, Braad asking for Velrisa to heal him and she just staring at him and saying no before begrudgingly healing him
