7c Val - Tumblr Posts

Every world has it's criminals, and Valian knows a lot about what happens to the ones who get caught. It was supposed to be a clean robbery, the harpy was supposed to be away from her shop, and Val's partner in crime was supposed to provide a getaway. Now Val has a collar around his neck and is at the beck and call of whatever demon is contracted to 'reform' him. It's exactly what society expects of a lowly ifrit like him. He'd long resigned himself to playing the dutiful servant when his contract is unexpectedly given away to a clueless guest of the demonic capitol..

(One of 7 Circles main characters, feel free to comment or ask questions! I own none of the pics, I simply arranged and edited them.)

I was hoping to post a sketch today but the character in question has the cutest most terrible green skin that has been a lesson in shading and tone in a way that I really should have seen coming.

So here's my kotatsu again.

I love this little rat man to the point of impropriety.

How Cuddleable Are Your OCs? Tag

Saw this posted by @talesofsorrowandofruin and figured I'd give it a go!

Premise: Answer the title question using a scale of 1-10 and give context.

✨️I'll be using my 7 Circles characters✨️

Klaus:

7.5/10 Emotionally safe to cuddle with, warm, strong arms, whispers soothing reassurances. Might get fidgety over long cuddles though (has Fae-D-H-D).

Kazimier:

2/10 This restless man not only doesn't sleep, he often gets so wrapped up in his machinations he forgets to feed. IF hes cuddling you he a) is manipulating his way closer to you for crime reasons b) just fed on you and is trying to figure out his exit, or c) is using you for survival body heat. Try instigating a cuddle and you're gonna get the hell scratched outta ya.

Valian:

5/10 So smol, such soft hair, what a cute bean. But he's also a squirmy little bastard with a crass voice and the pointiest knees and elbows. So, cuddles best when unconscious.

Seeker:

9/10 FOUR ARMED HUGS. Hugs with four arms! Also so tall and super nurturing. They could tell me it'll all work out and I'd believe them. Caretaker femme energy.

✨️Character Voice Tag✨️

Jumping on @the-golden-comet 's post 🫰

My line: This is a bad idea.

Your line: I'm sorry.. I was wrong.

Kazimier💋: Tell me, squints. You ever ask a gorgon if their pubes hiss or not? Yeah well your half-baked little scheme here is gonna go over just as gentle if ya don't take the dumb outta' it.

Seeker🌠: Oh, Dear. I sincerely appreciate your sense of innovation, and I recognize I'm new to the surface, but I simply can't condone a strategy that utilizes such measures.. Perhaps we can research an alternative together!

Val🐁: Oi oi oi! You want folk brassed off at you? Fine, but that's your nose we're talkin' about. Leave mine out of it.

Klaus🌻: This is going to end poorly.

Tagging @lychhiker-writes @katenewmanwrites @smellyrottentrees @cowboybrunch and anyone who wants to force their ocs to apologize lol

(Hmu to be +/- to my writing games taglist)

✨️First & Last Lines✨️

Made by @kaylinalexanderbooks ! This was inadvertently hilarious 😂 great contrasts here.

Rules: Post the first and most recent/last line of dialogue from a couple OCs! Narration doesn't count.

Seeker🌠:

"But our trajectory had us flying into a tundra! If we land only to die before making contact, the mission is forfeit!"

"Ohhhelllo Vallyn.."

Klaus🌻:

"If that ever comes to pass, you must find whoever you sell me to and tell me how you managed to explain away your involvement, Father,"

"I thought you liked my mouth."

Kazimier💋:

"Kazimier." he rasps eventually.

"It's been less than pleasing lately."

Val🐁:

"My name is Valian, Messere. Her Grace arranged to have me delivered to you."

"Don't need to tell me twice," Val mutters, and then the door is closed and they are alone.

✨️Height comparison tag!✨️

This is just something I like doing with my characters and I thought others might like to try!

Rules; List the heights, add any notes you'd like, and do a chart. I use Hikaku but there are surely others 😁

Heights for my ocs in 🌐7 Circles🌐

Kazimier💋: Just under 6ft, but between horns and heels he seems taller. Also a Shapeshifter sooo 🤷‍♂️ height is adjustable.

Klaus🌻: 6'2", appears.. to be your usual tall dark and handsome

Val🐁: 5'6", comparatively smol. May be stunted from malnourishment..

Seeker🌠: 6'5", The willowy kalilith looks down at you, and you feel small- but not in the way the demons make you feel small. Those depthless green eyes turn to you and in that moment you see yourself as they do, something to be picked up, held, protected, valued. In that way, their tallness takes your breath away..

Yeah idonno I'm just futzing around 😂

Double tagged by @cowboybrunch and @fortunatetragedy 💕 And dragging @the-golden-comet over here by their open tag~

Rules: use this headcanon generator to generate some headcanons for your OCs! How accurate are they?

Using my characters from 🌐7 Circles🌐

Klaus:

Klaus instinctively cleans messes in their own house as well as other peoples. 8/10: He really has the instinct, but a demon cannot be caught CLEANING of all things.

Klaus will go feral. Watch out. 2/10: Klaus will go feral in a moment of desperation, but it's not the default.

Klaus likes being alone. 0/10: It's hard to adjust to being alone when you grew up being as loved as Klaus was.

Kazimier:

Kazimier steals other peoples clothes. 10/10: Absolutely he's stolen clothes, they're an important resource for shapeshifters!

Kazimier is awful with technology and doesn't know how to use a smart phone. 5/10: He's not awful.. but comes from a place with lesser technology and owns a 90s style flip-phone.

Kazimier sucks at saying tongue twisters. 0/10: He would actually be shockingly good a tongue twisters.

Seeker:

Seeker makes your mom jokes. 0/10: They would NEVER insult your mother.

Seeker has an incredible spice tolerance. 8/10: I haven't though much about Kalilith cuisine, but they probably do have a great tolerance.

Seeker is afraid of doing anything without other peoples permission. 9/10: Absolutely terrified, yes.

Valian:

It would not take much for Val to turn evil. 10/10: Truth. Val meets the expectations people have of 'scum' like him.

Val has been to prison. 9/10: He's kinda in prison right now.

Val could easily survive The Hunger Games. 2/10: He has the adaptability, he has resilience, he is... very smol and very scrawny.

Name Origins Tag! ✨️

Thank you for the tag @the-golden-comet! And thanks for starting this @pixies-love-envy! This one is juicy to me.

Premise: How did you come up with your OC's names/What are they based on?

Seeker🌠:

Seeker was originally a DND character, and a homebrew race I played around with had very long names that represented the individual somehow. The-Stars-In-Their-Eyes-Seek-The-Spirit-Of-The-Cosmos felt like a reflection of the hopeful diplomat yearning to connect with people across the universe.

Edit: They start using 'Seeker' after finding out sentence-long names are unusual to 'surface people'.

Klaus🌻:

Upcycled from an old OC named Nikoli, now Niklaus. He needed a name that fit his suave gentlemanly air.

Kazimier💋:

Out of story: I wanted there to be a z in the name for whatever reason, and I wanted it to sound good when said in a New Yorkish accent.

In Story: He's not sure what his parents named him, but as a kid he had this Cashmere sweater that acted as his safety blanket and eventually 'brat in the Cashmere sweater' became 'hey Cashmere'. He decided on the spelling when he learned to read/write.

Valian🐁:

Looking for regular words that could be tweaked to make a name. The word 'Valiant' was chosen to contrast the selfish criminal, just dropped the 't'. This has extended to his lore where he was named Valiant by the orphanage and started going by Valian/Val as an adult.

Character Voice Tag! ✨️

I love these!! This one from @rotting-moon-writes, Thanks for the tag @lychhiker-writes!

My line: "You should go to sleep." Your line: -Has realized as they're purchasing something.. that they forgot their wallet-

Valian🐁:

"Get some shut-eye, Star eyes.

Seeker🌠:

"It's been a rather long day, hasn't it? You've done all you can, little one. I'll take care of things while you get some much deserved rest."

Klaus🌻:

"You need your rest. Close your eyes now.."

Kazimier💋:

"If you pass out while standin' there.. I'm lettin' ya hit the floor."

@katenewmanwrites @smellyrottentrees @wyked-ao3 @the-golden-comet @cowboybrunch @fortunatetragedy @zackprincebooks @officialauthorofanotherworld please show me what your beans say when caught in that embarrassing situation if you're so inclined (it's like, my worst nightmare). +Open tag!

Find The Word Tag✨️

Thanks for the tags @the-golden-comet @fortunatetragedy and @lychhiker-writes, I'm gonna pick and choose since there are so many words lol But I got some 🌶️spicy🌶️ lines with the ones I picked.

My Words: Ate, friendly, jest, ardent, conscious, building, hook, excuse, drown, fidget, gape, choice Your Words: Snarl, Hope, Tension, Sink

Color-coded for what character the clip is talking about: Kazimier💋, Klaus🌻, Seeker🌠, Valian🐁 from 🌐7 Circles🌐 ------------------

Ate: They ask over their shoulder, not sure what ifrits ate- or even what a third of the food stocked was precisely."I'll eat anything, me," Val says, hopping to his feet and heading to the fridge.

Friendly: The end product created a friendly, but rather mysterious picture of ‘The Ambassador from beyond the sky', as they took to calling the Kalilith on multiple media fronts.

Ardent: Kazimier raises a brow at the position, half expecting his meal to get on hands and knees. That means the rise in submissiveness, that ardent plea, those were for..

Conscious: Seeker pulls the blanket higher, shivering and covering their chest self-consciously, scandalized at their current state.

Hook: Kazimier hooks a few fingers around the collar, as if trying to give himself more room to breathe, and tips his head back, horns scraping the wall. Excuse: "If that ever comes to pass, you must find whoever you sell me to and tell me how you managed to explain away your involvement, Father," Klaus replies, baring his own fangs in what most people would mistake for a smile. "I'd love to see what excuse you feed to the Sovereign Executive for how I escaped your notice for such a long time."

Fidget: Their upper right hand fidgets in their lap, the east palm longing to reach out and hold Val's thin green fingers for reassurance.

Choice: His choice hadn't been made out of some misguided attempt to dodge his own complicity. How could it be? He's using Kazimier as a sacrifice..

✨️OC 'Purity Test' Tag Game✨️

Starting a new tag game and cackling at the thought of my mutuals doing this. Let's go!

Take the Rice Purity Test for your OCs to see how pure (score near 100) or scandalous (score near 0) they are. This is me making fun of purity culture, not supporting it. All scores are valid and shouldn't be subject to ridicule. If you don't know what one of the questions means, you can message me, no judgement.

Characters from 🌐7 Circles🌐

From most pure to least pure:

Seeker🌠: 85

This proper diplomat grew up somewhat sheltered. I wonder how low it will be by the end of the book..

Valian🐁: 51

More in the middle than I thought! Val never got to be in a relationship before he was imprisoned.

Kaus🌻: 36

Being an incubus gave him most of the checks tbh. I think Klaus is too good a man to go much lower.

Me✨️ (for funzies): 16

Hmm. I would not recommend my past to others. I'm apparently a great resource for writing explicit themes tho.

Kazimer💋: 7..

Oofta. Ahahahaa... Listen, he's had a few centuries to get to this number though. Things he hasn't done below.

Kazi HAS NOT: Joined the mile high club. Had a STI. Impregnated someone or been impregnated. Committed an act of incest. Engaged in bestiality. Had sexual intercourse in public. Cheated on a significant other during a relationship.

They're A Ten, But.. (Tag Game)✨️

Hopping on this after seeing @the-golden-comet did one awhile back. My characters from 🌐7 Circles🌐:

Klaus 🌻

is a ten, but he has severe daddy issues that prevent him from showing more than the charming suave upper-class bachelor persona he projects.

Seeker 🌠

is a ten, but is prone to going along with whatever you say/bit of a pushover.

Kazimier 💋

is a ten, but you're nothing more than a meal to this callous incubus.

Valian 🐁

is a ten, but eats any fruit with the rind still on.

Thanks for the tag @the-golden-comet!

My line: “Okay, confess: WHO ate the last bite?!” Your line: Don't touch that, you don't know where it's been.

Characters from my story 🌐7 Circles🌐: from least food-jealous to most food-jealous.

Seeker🌠:

Hmm.. I could have sworn I had another portion in here.. do any of you know what became of it? Val: What, you mean that potato thing?

Klaus🌻:

Where is the... VALIAN! Val: (mouth full) Wot, yu meem da 'tato thing?

Valian🐁:

(Slow, icy tone) Somebody owes me more food... Who is it?

Kazimier💋:

(Snarling and livid) Are you fuckin' shittin' me right now?! I was edging that one ALL NIGHT! A little sweet talkin' here, a little touch there- gettin' my meal aaallll warmed up for me just for SOMEONE ELSE to stick their dick in MY dinner!?

Feeling bad today, so here's a sketch of Valian as a kid.

OC from my story 🌐7 Circles🌐. Even now as an adult, Val holds his tail for comfort - though he's long been numb to the harsh treatment of others.

OC Interview 🐁✨️

Thanks for the tag @tragedycoded

I'm going to be answering as Valian from my WIP 🌐7 Circles🌐

What is the worst insult you can give?

You're less qualified than I am.

(Why is that the worst insult?)

I'm a fuckin' ifrit, an' a collared one to boot. You do the maths.

What is the nicest thing someone could say to you?

Hey Valian, I gave you all my money an' a lifetime supply of good eatin'.

(Couldn't you just get money and buy food with it?)

I'm just coverin' me tail, here.

Are you a jealous person?

I'm practical. If I have somthin' another bloke wants I figure they're like to take it from me 'n vise versa.

Have you ever committed a crime?

-Laughs- 'Oo, me?

Are you neat or messy?

You've gottu 'ave things to be messy.

How do you feel about crying?

Oh, cryin' is great when you're a lad but at some point you get old enough that they stop believin' the waterworks.

Let it out or hold it in?

We talkin' about words or unmentionables here? Ain't healthy to put off goin' to piss.

Who has betrayed you most?

Ripley..

(Who is Ripley?)

Flea-ridden backstabbin' lycan bastard.

What style of accessories do you wear? Is it willingly?

-He grips his collar with a dead expression- Sure, I willingly got this hunk of metal trackin' me at all hours.

(Fair enough. Anything else?)

-He sticks out his tongue, which also reveals a tongue piercing- I didn't choose that neither if you're wonderin'.

What is the most sublime thing you have ever eaten and why?

It was the crust o' some pie one of my owners tossed me. I had a gluttony mark at the time, makin' any food not given to me by his hand tast like ash. He hadn't given me food from his hand for o'er a month an' that crust was good enough I near wept.

Here's 9 lines from the Valian POV chapter that's currently giving me a headache in 🌐7 Circles🌐 :

The last couple hours have been utter chaos, but the ifrit had been kind of expecting it. The way he'd grown up, you either developed a sixth sense for when you'd caught someone's attention or... well, you didn't grow up. So the moment he'd realized he'd caught Greed's attention of all people, he'd known that something was going to happen. It hadn't been more than a few minutes after she and her.... whoever it was... passed by that a satyr had dragged him off of his duty- scrubbing the pretentious white walls of the most pretentious building ever- and into a service hall in the back of the building.  “Name and case number?” The satyr asked, too fussed over something on his tablet to bother looking up. Val realized with a shiver that this bloke was higher up than him and answered prompt and professional-like. “Valian Ifrit, 85335-2212-16.” “Milos, PA to Greed.” he says, glancing up only a moment, “Valian your case is being transferred by order of The Duke of Greed, effective immediately. Come, we have little time to process you.”

Repost for Fanart Friday! 🎨

I'm still really proud of this art of Valian, and I learned a lot about shading for different tones and undertones from this one ✨️ I'm also stoked about all the details 👁👅♠️

I'm also jazzed that so many people are starting love this skeevy little man as much as I do 🐁💕
