I wish there was more art about Nil’s stupid sexy face on here.

*sigh* since you asked, I’ll put up a WIP. Started this yesterday and I think I prefer him without clothes.

Remember that post the other day about the bone-eating blood vulture being Nil’s daemon? well OMFG HERE IS NIL AS A BONE-EATING BLOOD VULTURE AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL

OTP Song Meme: Nil & Aloy

Got tagged by a Mass Effect friend, but I will do this now for Niloy! This is the second Tumblr game thing I’ve been tagged for in two days! DOES THIS MEAN I’M DOING TUMBLR RIGHT

THE RULES: Sum up your OTP in a three-song playlist.

1. Feel Good – Illenium & Gryffin feat. Daya

I can’t express how much I love this song. In Shadow of the Stormbird, I listened to this song on loop the entire time I was writing the reunion chapter. I just think it’s perfectly epic and emotional for Nil and Aloy getting back together. 

Key lyrics:
Sometimes I need someone to pick me up
Overdose my mind with the things I love
You can take me there, where my heart beats
Where my heart beats free

Take my hand in the middle of a crisis
Pull me close, show me, baby, where the light is
I was scared of a heart I couldn’t silence
But you make me, you make me feel good, I like it

2. Home – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros 

I’ve always loved this song as being such a happy and carefree love song. It’s always reminded me of going on a road trip with wild abandon. It’s the perfect love song for nomads like Aloy and Nil, whose real home is just with each other. 

Key lyrics: 
I’ll follow you into the park,
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you

Moats and boats, and waterfalls,
Alleyways, and payphone calls
I been everywhere with you

Laugh until we think we’ll die,
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you

3. Closer – Nine Inch Nails 

Aaaand then on the other end of the spectrum is this song. Arguably the darkest and most disturbing, but also HOTTEST and most intensely sexual song of all time. This is what’s going on in dom!Nil’s mind, whether he consciously knows it or not. 

Key lyrics:
You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Help me, I broke apart my insides
Help me, I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me, the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

Not sure who will already have done this, but I’mma tag a few peeps anyway – but I’d be happy to see any and all’s responses! @vythika96, @littlesnowarrow, @jadefyre. You’re it! 

How soft and gentle her name sounds when I whisper it. It lingers on the tongue, insidious and slow, almost like poison, which is apt indeed. It passes from the tongue to the parched lips, and from the lips back to the heart.

Damn but if this isn’t some prose straight from Nil, I don’t know what is

Manly bonding time for Nil and Erend

What happens if you take Aloy’s boyfriend and best friend and throw them in a bar together with some Scrappersap? XD 

Dedicated to @vythika96, who inspired this oneshot! xoxoxo!!

As Erend and Nil moved through the crowded tavern, Erend became aware of a change in the quality of the chatter: boisterous conversations hushed abruptly before breaking into even louder talk. Erend was fully aware that the presence of a Carja in their midst was the reason for the commotion. Technically anyone was welcome in The Twisted Cog, but in practice the clientele was still primarily Oseram, and the outlanders brave enough to venture into the noisy Oseram-style establishment were few and far-between.

Nil, in particular, was probably the one Carja whom the occupants of the bar would least expect to see in Erend’s company. Most of the Oseram that Erend knew had very mixed feelings towards Nil: on the one hand, he was still perceived by many as the Shadow Carja prince, the raider who had killed some of their finest Freebooters during the Red Raids; on the other hand, he was the mate of the flame-haired Nora huntress whom many Oseram viewed as being an honorary Oseram herself.

Erend held his chin high and solicitously clapped Nil on the shoulder as they reached the bar. Creepy or not, Aloy’s fiancé was his guest tonight, and Erend would make sure he was treated with the utmost hospitality.

“Hey, Lorna! Two triples!” Erend held up two fingers to the bartender, who winked heartily at him while she simultaneously filled three other orders. Then Erend turned towards Nil, who was leaning back against the bar with his arms folded.

The erstwhile Carja prince’s face was a picture of haughty boredom as his pale grey eyes flicked dispassionately around the tavern. He couldn’t look more like a royal Carja ass if he tried, Erend thought with amusement, and he punched Nil amiably in the arm.

Immediately Nil dropped his regal posture and frowned at Erend. “What?”

“You stand there looking like a pompous slag, someone’s gonna think you’re looking for a fight,” Erend told him.

Nil gifted Erend with a slow, chilling grin. “Now that would be my idea of a good time. Shall we start a brawl?” He tilted his head quizzically to the side, a benign expression that was offset by the predatory smirk lifting the corner of his lips.

“Uh, maybe later. Let’s have these drinks first, yeah?” Hastily Erend swept up one of the tumblers that Lorna had slid across the bar and shoved it into Nil’s hand, then gulped at his own tumbler of Scrappersap, finishing half the drink in one gulp.

I have nothing clever to caption this shot with. I just LOVE his expression here. 

He’s all, “Come on, Suntress, you know you want to fight me. You want to feel that rush of joy through your arms as you pull back the drawstring on your bow. You want the satisfaction of aiming your arrow precisely between my eyes. You know you do.” 

Or maybe he’s just like, “You know I’m a handsome bastard.”

Either way, I love it.

Nil and Itamen

Headcannon: Nil, Avad and Itamen are brothers. What would happen if Nil and Itamen were forced to hang out?

Dedicated to @northisnotup, who inspired this oneshot. Thanks! xoxo

Aloy instructed Itamen to practice shooting arrows while Nil stood silently just behind her. Itamen was obedient and cooperative, but Aloy couldn’t help but notice that he kept glancing warily at Nil.

After some time, when Itamen was sweating from exertion, Aloy allowed him a brief break and a drink of water. But as Aloy lifted her Oseram flask to her lips, Itamen suddenly spoke.

“Why did Mother say you’re no better than Helis?”

Itamen was looking at Nil, who raised one eyebrow. “Because I’m a killer, and so was Helis,” he said bluntly.

Aloy bit her lip nervously. Neither she nor Nil had been briefed on how to answer these kinds of questions, but she was fairly sure Nasadi wouldn’t be pleased if she’d heard Nil’s answer. But before she could interject, Itamen was asking another question. “If you’re a killer like Helis, why does the Sun King let you in the palace? Aren’t you an enemy?” He was gazing at Nil with a surprising amount of challenge in his face, but Aloy noticed that his hands were trembling.
