Hai!! Felt I was prolly due for an update

You can call me Temerity or any variation on that, mah pronouns are she/her and I am probably human.

I'm a self-proclaimed nerd and weirdo who loves everything fantasy and sci-fi (other genres too but those are my favourites)

If you've read Inkheart, The Martian, or Hail Mary you are amazing and I love you. Please talk to me about these books. Also if you've seen the movie Stardust then we will be best friends.

I like writing! And drawing! Art tag is 'Temerity art' or 'my art' if you're interested in that.

My current hyperfixation is The Dragon Prince (you can probably tell from looking at my blog for five seconds), but I also post about and draw some Hermitcraft and Life Series stuff when I'm in the mood :D

Feel free to spam me with asks. I can sometimes take a while to respond, but I will eventually I promise. I love sending and receiving asks, it's such a good feature.

Uhm yeah I think that's all? Enjoy the autism website :)

Masterlist

Multi-chapter fics

In The Shadow Of Betrayal

After her parents betrayed Xadia when she was ten years old, Rayla was taken in by the royal family of Katolis. Desperately trying to escape her past, she embraced the human's culture, becoming close friends with the two princes. Though not everything is perfect and many people still resent her, she can trick herself into being happy.

Until five years later when moonshadow assassins, including Rayla's childhood friend Calypso arrive in Katolis.

Suddenly thrown into a web of betrayal, friendship, conflicting loyalties and romance, Rayla, Callum, Ezran and Calypso are forced to reassess everything they once believed.

The Roles We Must Play

Almost ten years after Aaravos' defeat, Callum and Rayla are finally setting into their new normal and the parts they need to play within the castle. Though there are still those who protest the new close relationship between elves and humans, they are happy and safe.

Until King Ezran goes missing and they are forced to take the throne.

With Rayla being blamed for Ezran's disappearance and supposed death, conspiracies left and right, halfling heirs, and very underqualified rulers, Katolis' only recently regained stability is struggling, and coups are inevitable.

Oneshots

A do-over Rayla's POV at the Starscraper. Self-indulgent

Quiet Reflection A few of Callum's thoughts that morning on the Starscraper.

Seven Years... Seven years is a long time, and yet far too short. A lot can happen. It's easy to forget how much is riding on these years when you have so much to be thankful for.

Sing me to sleep; we're safe now Rayla is still struggling to adjust to their new safety, but Callum is there to help. Just the dorks being in love and insane for each other. Also a contribution to Tategaminu's arc 3 pregnancy cult.

Anxious Expectation A speculative fic centering around the idea of Rayla potentially being lonely in motherhood due to nobody around her having experience in that, and her finding comfort and solace with Miyana, who has shared many of the same experiences.

Pros of re-reading your own fic

  • a good time;
  • Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;
  • Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;
  • just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

  • Is that another TYpO

As an aroace person I actually never had that feeling of being broken. I thought everyone was the same way and some people were just dramatic 😭

The Ace experience of not thinking you're broken, but thinking "I'm literally completely normal about this, why aren't you??" whenever someone's talking about their relationships.

I think there's also the "poly and I have done so much therapy & conflict resolution stuff" that I'm like, "have you considered open and honest communication about your needs, wants, and desires."

i'll make the world safe and sound for you

my humble offering to @tategaminu 's cult đŸ€­ The day she is born, Callum makes a promise to his daughter.

It was hard to determine when, exactly, it happened. When the most agonized screams Callum had heard in his life melded with the kind of wailing loud enough to shatter eardrums, one of them fading out until all that filled the air were cries and heavy, heavy breathing.

Numbly–as if he was the one who should be shaken and confused–Callum realized something was being held out to him. A heaving pile of pastel pink blankets, emitting those loud sobs.

“It’s a girl,” Bea, the midwife, told him with a soft smile. “Here. Hold her.”

She showed him how to safely hold the infant, a good thing because he’d entirely forgotten and was in such a state of shock that he was more likely than not to drop her, and eventually backed away, leaving him to marvel at this little wonder in his arms. A squealing, squishy bundle of
 something.

“Rayla,” he breathed, tucking a strand of her behind her ear. She hadn’t spoken since she’d stopped screaming, her forehead still dripping with sweat and eyes screwed shut. “Rayla, hey. She’s here. Our daughter.”

“Daughter?” she asked, the only sign of life he’d gotten aside from the heavy rise and fall of her chest.

“Yeah.” Tears came to his eyes. “You did it, Ray. She’s here. She’s so beautiful, so sweet
 Look at her.”

Limply, she patted the side of the bed next to her. “Bring her here.”

He sat on the side of the bed, once again holding the baby out, and she shook her head.

“No. Cuddle me.”

“What’s the magic word?” he teased, poking her cheek.

She cracked one irritated purple eye open. “The magic word is I just pushed a living being out of my body. You'll do whatever I want.”

He smiled, enamored with everything about this. How sparklingly–was that a word? Whatever–sassy she still was, how adorable and amazing


Callum slipped under the sheets with her, the baby still tucked snugly against his chest.

Rayla held out a single finger and brushed it against the baby’s cheek. The little thing hadn’t opened her eyes yet, and every inch of her except her face, so she could breathe, was swaddled tightly in fluffy blankets, so they’d yet to see which traits she’d inherited from each of them.

“She has your dumb smile,” Rayla noted fondly as the baby smiled at something in her sleep. “Awww, and she drools, too.”

“Okay, all babies drool.”

hey so nothing about this is okay!!!!!

the sinking realization. the realization that she's serious. that he asked for this, and that it's still the worst possible thing that could happen. that the idea has been in his mind for months and nothing in the world could have prepared him for facing it. the realization that this is real, that he tried to prevent it and it didn't matter because it's really going to end this way.

Calling all tdp: xadia fans! We need more asset pictures for preservation! If you have screenshots of anything in the game, anything at all, please leave them under this post or message me, or join the xadian Gamers community and put them there. (Invite is in the pinned post on my blog)

We still need screenies of armor, stages, skins, enemies, plus videos of anything as well: abilities, voice lines etc.

Let's stop xadia from becoming lost media!
