You Write So Well I Am Going To Explode. Like Actually. Like Right Now. - Blog Posts

Allowing myself to geek out over non-fandom ocs..

(TW ; mentions of non-con & abuse(?)/severely unhealthy relationships)

Some background before I fully rant on

I have this little world somewhat set up and the deities there work like this :

Representative gods - Representatives are immortal beings who, while being very powerful and considered Gods by mortals, aren't actually fully in charge of what they represent. They can be chosen both my mortals (/religion) or divine cores to be the representatives of certain things e.g. sleep, death, etc.

Divine cores - Divine cores are the very concepts of different things personified. They can be found in either conscious forms as living beings or inanimate objects (these happened during a phase in the world where the divine cores were oppressed and hunted down by the world's first gods, they weren't recognized as gods themselves at that point). They can, with enough power, be forced into taking form as objects which can be used to claim their power as the user's own. Divine cores can exist for nearly anything and everything, though they are limited to mortals and their beliefs manifesting them.

Celestials - Celestials are considered Gods & a lot of them have roles as representatives. They are the souls connected to things such as stars & moons. Celestials can, much like divine cores, be forced into object form.

First generation gods - the first gods are a specific group made up of 7 immortals created by the personifications of Life, Death, Fate and Time (The primordials). The planet that the stories in this world takes place on was originally a gift to them specifically, a place for them to live. This was later changed when the Primordials chose to start creating more life.

Dragons - Dragons were created exclusively by the Primordial Life, and are still Life's favorite creations. There aren't many of them, mostly because power-wise they are ranked first below the Primordials, being essentially the second strongest beings in existence. Each dragons represents a different aspect of life.

Nature's spirits - Not deemed significant enough to be titled as gods, Nature's spirits are immortal beings with power who simply never managed to either gain enough mortal recognition to become proper representative gods or simply weren't deemed worthy by other gods.

First victim of infodump ! Kieran/Roe, personification of decay.

Kieran is the son of the (celestial pantheon's) goddess of motherhood (a star) and the divine core of decay. He was conceived through less than consensual ways, hence why his mother couldn't get herself to raise him. She left him out in the woods at the base of her pantheon's home mountain, where he was later found & saved by the personifications of sleep, hunting, and animals. He was raised by sleep, from whom he got the name Roe. Due to reoccurring threats from nearby forest spirits against Sleep, who was part of the celestial pantheon at that point in time, Sleep was escorted from the mortal realm down to the underworld where he would be under the protection of that realms ruler for his own safety. Sleep wasn't allowed to take Roe with him, which is why Roe was left behind in one of sleep's old temples, where he was later discovered by Phoebe, the Sun's second son and at the time god of prophecy.

Roe & Phoebe!! ↑

Roe never properly learned to speak by that point, which is why Phoebe ended up renaming him Kieran because he couldn't find out the little guy's name.

Phoebe ended up staying with Kieran in Sleep's temple. He did this not because he actually bonded with Kieran, or even because he felt bad for him, but rather because he could tell that Kieran was the future god of decay. A prophecy he clung to at the time was that, using Kieran's power, he'd be able to make other celestials mortal and vulnerable. Phoebe wished to have this power because, out of all of his siblings, he was always the one most neglected. His elder brother & sister were their father's closest advisor & second in command respectively, meanwhile Phoebe was essentially completely ignored. He wanted to have just as much, if not even more power and influence as his siblings had and he wanted other gods to finally respect him. His plan was to do this by overthrowing his father and taking his place as ruler of their pantheon.

All stars have wings, and Kieran would inevitably, once he finally discovered his full potential and powers in a situation that was more than stressful (an attempt by Phoebe to overthrow his father, which Kieran was dragged into because by that point he'd become utterly attached to phoebe) finally discover his own wings.. only to then have them instantly ripped out by nobody other than Phoebe, who used the fact that they now essentially worked the same way as some magical artifacts, to weaken his father and force him into taking the form of a sword, which Phoebe would of course claim as his own weapon. He proceeded to stab Kieran, since he deemed his powers too big of a threat now that he'd betrayed him and tossed him right off of the celestial pantheon's mountain.

Timeskip ahead to ages later, Phoebe does manage to keep up his position as ruler of the celestial pantheon, using the sword he'd turned his father into.

Kieran however, managed to live through his injuries, and decided to interpret Phoebe's betraying him as Phoebe not wishing to stay with him because he believed Kieran to be too weak... so after improving on this issue, Kieran decided to confront Phoebe again. This ended with Phoebe realizing that he really couldn't defeat Kieran in terms of power and, since Kieran decided the best way for him to prove his power was by threatening violence against Phoebe if he tried to leave, he'd probably have to manipulate his way out of this.

Their relationship is anything but healthy. Phoebe keeps Kieran around, declares him his partner for no other reason than to ensure his own safety. Later on also because he realizes Kieran is quite useful as a bodyguard & weapon. He vents his frustrations over his own situation by putting as much pressure on Kieran as he can. He constantly questions Kieran's love for him, does anything and everything in his power to make Kieran more and more insecure which just leads to Kieran clinging to him even more.

Kieran stays with Phoebe because he has a massive fixation, borderline obsession with him. Phoebe was the second person in his life who cared for him and then ended up abandoning him, and Kieran wasn't going to sit back and let that happen like he had when Sleep had left him. He is deathly afraid of being abandoned like this again, and therefore either makes sure to do absolutely anything Phoebe tells him to do in an attempt to keep him happy, or straight up threatens him to "show off how powerful and worthy he is of affection". They both have to get therapy. Separately and wayyy far away from each other.

Kieran fun fact ! In canon, there is a huge debate on whether he should, as the god of decay, be considered a god falling under death's court or life's court. This debate is mainly lead among the dragons.

Dragons! This is the dragon considered the leader among dragons, representing the inevitably of death and how it's practically just another part of life.

Bits of dragon trivia: In their human forms, all dragons have fancy hats/headdresses. These are actually the only pieces of clothing they wear. The rest is simply their bodies morphed into looking like clothing. Each of the dragons have a different type of sword. They don't actually use these in combat, and rather as a symbol of status.

Anele, dragon representative of death's inevitability.

Based on capability of killing, Anele is the most powerful amongst the dragons. They are however also a sort of jab from Life at Death, considering that what they represent is Death being a part of life and therefore not worthy of being it's own being. Anele lives in a large cave near one of the mortal realms entrances to the underworld, occasionally acting as a guard for it when they're bored.

Aion, the dragon representing utter absence of death.

Aion is a straight up insult against death. He believes that death shouldn't be a thing, that it is nothing but a disgrace to life's magnificence. Aion has the ability to make any being absolutely untouchable, unreachable to death. Death expands through mortal beings dying, Aion can chip away at Death's existence by removing it from deceased beings. He could technically do this in a larger quantity, but Life itself doesn't allow this.

Zoya, dragon representative of life's cruelty/merciless nature.

Zoya was formerly a daughter of the celestial representative of death, a demigod on a journey to meet her father and become a goddess herself. On this journey she ended in a village being terrorized by the dragon of cruelty, and decided to fight it in an attempt to save the village people. During this fight, Zoya died, but due to her family relations to one of death's representatives, the dragon was killed the moment it came into contact with her after her death (She died being in it's maw). Life was of course angered at the death of one of their dragons, and decided that Zoya would be taking the place of this dragon as punishment for her actions.

Dragon swords!!!
