#[ support ]: isadora

28. A memory that strains a relationship

It had been a beautiful night. Summer. The sun set slowly in the sky, taking its time – it felt as if everything was doing so, lazy and leisurely. The night air was warm, but not stifling. Soft pinks and dark blues were mingling in the darkening sky, the faint twinkle of stars showing up in smattering pinpricks. 

It was beautiful, yet it still paled in comparison to the woman that had pulled him away from tending to end of day duties with a crystalline smile. All that had been left was taking stock of inventory – armor, weapons; what needed replacing, fixing. He could certainly do it later, or first thing in the morning. It had been easy to let her guide him away, take charge as she often did.

For the years Harken had now been serving Pherae as a knight, Isadora had been a constant. There were few women that made it all the way through the trials of becoming a knight; not on account of a lack of worthiness, but because their families often found them matches for marriage before they could take their oaths. 

Isadora stood out in this regard. She was an exemplary knight, a strong and level headed woman, and a lady from a fine family. 

When he had first arrived in Pherae, he had been incredibly withdrawn. He rarely spoke if not spoken to first, didn't go out of his way to interact with his fellow knights outside of training exercises or actual missions, and kept to himself when not needed. While some had tried to welcome him in, many didn't try to get passed the shell of disonance that Harken kept about him. They were all polite, friendly – if only at Sir Marcus' stern words – but it was Isadora who staunchly continued to work at him.

She had no reason to, truly. But she stayed by his side, even in his silences and melancholy. 

Eventually, they would have conversations. Stilted, halting. Sometimes speaking of nothing important, othertimes of things they would not tell anyone else. A little exchange every day. Until they became longer, more looked forward to, a welcome routine.

She had laughed at his fretting, arm locked with his own. 

It was summer. A beautiful night. The breeze was cool enough, and it played in the boughs of the trees. He could smell the hay on her hair from the stables, mingled with the cloying scent of some flower he could never name. He would guess, she would never tell him if he got it right.

The path they walked was quiet, peaceful. And for a moment, he thought that he could live here, like this, forever. 

She asked him a question.

It was a beautiful night. She was beautiful that night. 

They talked for far longer than they should, really. He had duties to return to, but she had a way about her that he simply could not deny. He had thought it dangerous at first, these feelings. He was such…damaged goods, and she was a good woman. She deserved only the best, and though he was far from it, her sheer determination and kindheartedness that kept her reaching out to him made him want to be better for her. Worthy of her.

Isadora had asked him a question, asked him fervently and with a passion in her gaze that Harken was taken aback by. Her eyes and hair were the muted dusk of the sky, and in the sky, the stars twinkled.

He made her a promise, and he should not have.

kinda proof read, kinda not, you've been warned

I'll carry you all the way

Violet Bridgerton had weathered many storms in her life, but none so devastating as the loss of her beloved husband, Edmund. His passing left her shattered, a widow with eight children to care for and another on the way. The pregnancy was fraught with complications, exacerbated by Violet's grief and the toll it took on her health.

Days turned into months as Violet withdrew into herself, mourning Edmund's absence even as life continued around her. Her family rallied, but Violet's sorrow was a heavy veil that separated her from them. It was during those long, solitary hours that she felt the weight of loneliness and the fear of losing both husband and child.

And you'll choose the day

The labour came unexpectedly, fierce and unforgiving. Violet's strength waned, her heart weary from loss and longing. The doctors and midwives worked tirelessly, their faces etched with concern. Hours passed like eternity until finally, a cry pierced the air—a fragile, yet determined cry that signalled new life.

Isadora was born amidst tears and relief, a tiny bundle of hope wrapped in Violet's trembling arms. The room, once fraught with fear, now glowed with a soft, golden light as mother and daughter gazed at each other for the first time. In that moment, everything seemed to still, and Violet knew she had been granted a miracle.

When you're prepared to greet me

She named her daughter Isadora, after the delicate Dahlia flower that Edmund had loved tending in their garden—a reminder of the beauty that bloomed even in the darkest of times.

As Isadora grew, she became Violet's constant companion, a beacon of joy and innocence in the Bridgerton household. Her older siblings doted on her, especially Anthony, Benedict, and Colin, who saw in her a reflection of their lost father's spirit. Isadora's laughter filled the halls of Bridgerton House and her curious mind sought solace in the quiet moments spent with her mother.

One afternoon, in the hushed serenity of the drawing room, Isadora sat at the pianoforte while Violet embroidered nearby. The soft melodies Isadora coaxed from the keys wove through the air, a testament to her growing talent and Violet's nurturing guidance.

"Does this sound right, Mama?" Isadora asked, her voice a melody in itself.

Violet looked up from her embroidery, a fond smile gracing her lips. "It sounds perfect, darling. You have a gift."

Isadora beamed with pride, her small hands continuing their dance over the keys. Despite her tender age, she played with a grace that belied her years, a testament to the bond she shared with her mother and the legacy of love that surrounded her.

I'll be a good mum, I swear

Anthony, Benedict, and Colin entered the room together, their voices low with shared memories and unspoken affection for their youngest sister. Anthony, ever the protective eldest brother, approached Isadora and knelt beside her.

"How are you today, Isa?" he asked softly, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead.

"I am well, Anthony," Isadora replied, her gaze never leaving the keys. "Mama teaches me a new piece every day."

"Is that so?" Benedict chimed in, leaning over to peer at the sheet music. "You are quite talented, little one."

"Indeed," Colin added with a smile. "Father would have been proud."

Violet's heart swelled with bittersweet emotion at the mention of Edmund. She had feared she might forget the sound of his voice or the warmth of his touch, but in Isadora, she found echoes of him that kept his memory alive.

You'll see how much I care

"Mama, are you well?" Isadora asked suddenly, sensing the shift in her mother's mood.

Violet blinked back tears, her hand reaching out to clasp Isadora's. "I am well, my love. I am with you, and that is enough."

Isadora nodded solemnly, her understanding far beyond her years. Together, they continued their afternoon ritual, finding solace in music and shared moments that bridged the gap between past sorrows and future joys.

When you meet me

------------

In the sunlit gardens of Bridgerton House, where the scent of roses mingled with the laughter of children, Isadora found herself in the company of her older sister, Hyacinth, and brother, Gregory. Despite their lively spirits, they adapted to Isadora's quieter demeanour, creating a harmony that transcended their differences.

You thrill me, you delight me

"Isa, look what I found!" Hyacinth exclaimed, holding a caterpillar in her small hands with excitement.

Isadora approached cautiously, her eyes widening with curiosity. "Oh, wow! What is it?"

Gregory, always eager to share his knowledge, chimed in, "It's a caterpillar, Isa! Hyacinth and I were just talking about how it turns into a butterfly."

Hyacinth nodded eagerly. "Yes, Isa! It's like magic! One day, it will have beautiful wings and fly everywhere!"

Isadora's face lit up with wonder. "That's amazing! Can I hold it?"

Hyacinth carefully passed the caterpillar to Isadora, who watched it crawl across her palm with fascination. Gregory leaned in, his eyes bright with enthusiasm. "Let's play tag, Isa! You're it!"

You please me, you excite me

Isadora giggled as Gregory darted away, Hyacinth joining in the chase. "Catch us if you can, Isa!"

Isadora laughed, her heart light as she chased after her siblings through the garden paths, their laughter mingling with the rustle of leaves and the gentle hum of bees. Despite their differences in temperament, they found joy in each other's company, weaving memories that would last a lifetime.

You're all that

I've been yearning for

— —- —- —- —-

In the quiet of evening, as the Bridgerton family gathered for supper, Isadora remained close to Violet's side. Gregory and Hyacinth, full of youthful exuberance, regaled their siblings with tales of mischief and adventure, and how Isadora won tag earlier in the afternoon. The three eldest Brigderton men shared the lovely pianoforte they witnessed Isadora performing in the morning and spoke of how she is progressing very, while Eloise, Francesca, and Daphne shared knowing glances over the table.

I love you, I adore you

"Isa, do you have to be better than us at everything?" Eloise teased playfully, nudging Isadora with her elbow.

Isadora looked up, a hint of confusing in her eyes, she went to speak before Violet interjected “ "Eloise is just being foolish, darling, she means well”

Isadora quickly understood and replied "I only wish to be like everyone else Eloise, you are so clever, and Francesca is so graceful, and Daphne—"

"—is the epitome of charm," Francesca finished with a smile, her gaze softening as she looked at her youngest sister.

I lay my life before you

Daphne reached across the table to tousle Isadora's hair gently. "You are quite the storyteller yourself, Isa. Perhaps one day you'll write tales that surpass even Eloise's wild adventures."

Isadora's face lit up with delight at the praise from her sisters. "Do you really think so, Daphne?"

"Absolutely," Daphne assured her. "You have a way with words and a heart as big as all of Mayfair."

I only want you more and more

Violet watched the exchange with a tender smile, her heart swelling with pride at the bond between her daughters. Despite the challenges they had faced as a family, moments like these reminded her of the joy that filled their lives.

And finally it seems

My lonely days are through

Later that night, as Isadora drifted off to sleep, surrounded by the love of her siblings, Violet tucked her in with a sense of peace. The Bridgertons, each unique in their strengths and passions, formed a tapestry of love and support that would guide Isadora through the years ahead.

I've been waiting for you

"You are so loved, Isadora," Violet whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her daughter's forehead. "Never doubt that."

Isadora stirred, a contented smile playing on her lips. 

I've been waiting…

And as Violet watched over her sleeping daughter, she knew that the bonds of siblinghood, and the enduring love of family would carry Isadora through any storm that life might bring.

…For you

OK what even is happening with the Crows

I’ve just been trawling through the wiki and World of Thedas for a few hours trying to figure out what we (a) know, (b) can guess, (c) can speculate wildly about the inner workings of the Crows during the Dragon age.

(I am by no means an expert on the lore so please let me know where I have wildly missed the mark).

I'm definitely not trying to propose any kind of fanon consensus, where's the fun in that?! Just trying to figure out a timeline that makes sense to me. Possibly also toying around with a pre-canon Rookanis fic.

Loooong and probably insanely disorganised text post under the cut. I should have been in bed hours ago but I am hyperfixating on this and will not sleep until I hit post.

Spoilers, so many spoilers below: Veilguard, Tevinter Nights, The Silent Grove, Origins, Awakenings, the entire franchise basically.

So, a speculative timeline. Events in black are fairly or very well supported by the lore; events in blue are inconsistent/uncertain in the lore; events in purple are guesses that I can sort of back up; events in red are me throwing a dartboard at the wall.

Note: The wiki puts the events of "Eight Little Talons" in 9:44 Dragon, but I can't find any source for that. I would have guessed a little later, but let's roll with 9:44.

Also, I'm pretty unclear on the guildmaster/grandmaster distinction. I'm just going to say 'head of house' for whoever is in charge of a Crow house, or Talon if they're head of one of the eight Talon Houses.

Blessed Age

8:70 Blessed - Caterina born (she's described as well into her 70s during Eight Little Talons and as around 80 in the data-mined character descriptions for Veilguard, so give or take a couple years this seems right).

9:00 to 9:29 Dragon: House Arainai Shenanigans

9:00 Dragon - Antivan civil war, beginning of the "much maligned" Three Queens era (Codex, History of Kirkwall - Chapter 4). Unclear exactly what happens or over what period of time, but seems like the Crows would be in the thick of things.

9:05 - 9:10 - Caterina maybe reaches Talon status (not First, though). Around 8:98 Blessed would be the absolute earliest she could get there given Teia's holds the record (youngest Talon at 28). But I think Teia was at least three or four years younger than any previous Talon so I'd put it somewhere around here, if not a few years later.

9:12 Dragon - Zevran, aged 7, is purchased from a Rialto brothel by House Arainai. The House is led by First Talon Talav Arainai and described as rolling in coin after the "Three Brides" contract - they purchase 17 other slaves that year, including Taliesen (World of Thedas, vol 2, p. 96). I think based purely on vibes that House Arainai is fairly secure in First Talon position and has been there at least a couple years, probably longer.

9:15ish Dragon - Teia born (she's described as 28 in the data-mined descriptions, but she's already a Talon in 'Eight Little Talons', which says she was the youngest ever to reach the rank at age 28. I'm assuming she got there a year or two before the events of the story. See 9:17.

9:16 Dragon - whoops, sometime over the last four years it all went to shit for Talav Arainai! The House dropped to Second Talon, and he was executed in 9:16 after trying to take back the seat of First. Isadora Arainai takes over, and the House hangs on as Second Talon... for now. Rinna joins House Arainai and immediately works well with Zevran and Taliesen under the mentorship of Eoman Arainai (World of Thedas, vol 2, p. 96). This would be the earliest that Caterina could reach First Talon, but I'm not sure I'd put it this early. I think the latest she could possible reach First would be 9:25ish based on my guesses about House Velardo (see below).

9:17 Dragon - Lucanis born (described as 36 in the data-mined character descriptions. I know I threw out those descriptions for Teia, but I think we can be pretty certain Lucanis is mid thirties).

9:17 Dragon - Teia born. I was going back through Eight Little Talons and my initial read was wrong. Teia is 28 during the events of the story.

9:24 Dragon - House Arainai, having the sort of shitty luck they absolutely deserve, falls entirely out of the rank of Talons when Second Talon Isadora dies. They wallow amongst the cuchillos (minor houses) for a few years (World of Thedas, vol 2, p. 96).

9:22 - 9:27 - House Velardo attempts to usurp First Talon from House Dellamorte? The resulting war kills all of Caterina's children and grandchildren, save Lucanis and Illario. My reasoning here is this: Lucanis says he and Illario would have ended up with Caterina to train, but being orphaned sent them to her younger than anticipated. Zevran was purchased at age 7, so we know Crow training, at least for House Arainai slaves, begins very young. Perhaps the non-slave children of influential house leaders start later, but I would guess not much. So I'm assuming they end up with Caterina sometime between ages 5 and 10?

9:25 Dragon - King Maric is thought lost at sea, but is in reality being held by Third Talon Claudio Valisti in a Crow prison on behalf of a Tevinter Magister, Aurielion Titus.

Side note: I had the same reaction to finding out the Crows have a super-fun torture prison as I did to finding out Weisshaupt has dungeons. Just... why? That feels like mission creep? Does the assassin skill set at all overlap with the prison guard skill set?

9:26 - 9:28 - Eoman takes over as head of House Arainai. He eliminates House Ferragani, which was Eighth Talon, thus clearing the way for Arainai to claw its way back into power. Unfortunately, he needs the support of Third Talon Claudio Valisti to take over the position. Valisti wants Rinna Arainai dead (cult / royal bastard reasons) and Eoman tricks Zevran and Taliesen, her lovers, into doing it. This was a very stupid decision (WoT vol 2, p. 96).

9:30 to 9:43 Dragon: Zevran's Revenge

9:30 Dragon - Zevran, depressed and angry about Rinna's death, bids for the contract on the Warden's life. House Arainai is said to have accepted this contract because they believed Loghain to be the best person to defeat the blight (WoT vol 2, p. 96).

Side note: This sort of, if you squint, reconciles the contract on the Warden's life in 9:30 with the memento found in Veilguard that says the Crows had treaties with the Wardens to fight the "next blight". But also they tried to kill the Warden-Commander in Awakenings, too. I guess one could argue a new blight was unlikely so soon but like. Come on, guys. Is your word to the Wardens worth anything or not?

9:31 - 9:34 - If Zevran survived, he comes back from Ferelden with a spring in his step and murder in his heart (and possibly a Warden on his arm) and wreaks absolute havoc on House Arainai. Eoman is first to go, then like half a dozen more of their top people. The House loses Eighth Talon and falls once more into obscurity. The Crows call Zevran (or an unnamed assassin if Zevran is dead) the "Black Shadow" and speculate that he has allies among the cuchillos (WoT vol 2, p. 96).

9:34 - 9:43 - Where the fuck is Zevran?

9:37 Dragon - Corypheus is freed (Legacy DLC). The Venatori will start to be a thing in the next few years, so Lucanis is going to pick up his nickname between now and, say 9:50 Dragon. I'd put it between 9:45 and 9:49 because of vibes (and because he talks about not immediately specialising in mages. Crows get started very young, but I dunno. I see him starting on mages in his mid twenties because, again, vibes.)

9:38 - 9:40 - Events of The Silent Grove (comic - I haven't read it in a while but I'm throwing it in here for complete-ish-ness). Alistair, Varric and Isabela break into the Crow archive and Velabanchel prison (which side note is a totally heinous operation). Isabela kills Claudio Valisti (Third Talon passes to Ezio Valisti). This, for me, raises the question again: Where the fuck is Zevran (sob). Valisti was implicated in Rinna's death, so either Zevran never found out or he couldn't get to Valisti while he was cleaning house.

9:44 Dragon - Ongoing: We're Entering Our Freedom-Fighter Era

9:44 Dragon - The events of 'Eight Little Talons'. Briefly: Caterina calls all the Talons together to plan for the imminent invasion of the Antaam, but a whole bunch of murder happens. Turns out that Fourth Talon Emil Kortez made deal with the Antaam and was trying to wipe out the Crows' leadership. He was killed by the survivors and Viago suggests--correctly, I think--that Caterina will wipe out the whole house.

The following Talons are killed but it seems like their houses will probably retain their status, with somebody else taking over as Talon:

Dante Balazar, Second

Lera Valisti, Third

Giuli Arainai, Eighth (having only just managed to lift that fucking house back up to Talonship, shame lol)

In addition to Caterina, Viago, and Teia, Sixth Talon Nero Bolivar survives, but he um, isn't much help. I would guess that Caterina, in a pretty strong alliance with Viago and Teia and with all the other Talons being new, might fuck his shit up and try to get someone more solid in before the Antaam invade?

9:44 - ongoing - WHERE THE FUCK IS ZEVRAN???? He can't have taken control of any of the eight Talon houses, because he's not at the summit in 'Eight Little Talons'-- and however much he damaged House Arainai, they've clawed back some power by 9:44. Is there a breakaway faction of cuchillo houses that Caterina won't even dignify with an acknowledgment? Is he not interested in any kind of Crow power and is just fucking shit up for them - we can assume House Valisti has had a lock on Third Talon since at least 9:28 (Claudio or Ezio Valisti pop up periodically in this position), and my guess is House de Riva have held Fifth a decent period of time, but as far as I can tell we know nothing about Second, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh Talon Houses in this period. So maybe Zev is toppling houses left, right and centre? Seems like that sort of instability might have changed Caterina's approach in 'Eight Little Talons', though...

9:51 - Lucanis imprisoned in the Ossuary.

9:51 - Antaam invasion of Antiva, starting with Treviso. The Antaam rebellion begins in 9:44 and is ongoing; the failure of Kortez in 9:44 delayed the invasion somewhat. I wouldn't have thought it would delay it this much, but I'm pretty sure that it happened while Lucanis was imprisoned, right? So since we free him in 9:52 after a year in the Ossuary, the invasion must have been delayed until 9:51? Maybe very late 9:50?

"Conclusions"

(I haven't read the comics in a bit and I know there's some Crow stuff that goes down in there beyond the Silent Grove... but as best I recall its just Teia and Viago running into Varric and Harding, and some stuff setting up Solas and the Antaam. Please let me know if I'm mistaken!)

I think it's safe to say the Crows are in chaos for pretty much the entire first half of the Dragon age: Arainai are causing chaos from 9:16 to 9:25, then they pass the torch to Velardo, whose war against House Dellamorte must have lasted a few years if it wiped out almost all of Caterina's family. Zevran is on a murder spree at least between 9:31 and 9:34, and possibly (much) longer depending on your headcanon.

After, at very best, a decade's peace, 9:44 sees the plot to wipe out the Crow leadership, which fails but does kill half the Talons and lead to the elimination of at least one, maybe two of the Talon Houses. Half a decade after that the Antaam invades.

I've been completely on board with the critiques of Veilguard's portrayal of the Crows, but I think writing it all out like this has helped me reconcile things a little bit? This is a deeply chaotic network of feuding families, and no single Talon is going to have the secure political power to make sweeping changes. Which isn't to say the child abuse that was definitely still occuring in Houses Dellamorte and de Riva during Rook and Lucanis' childhoods is just fine. But it makes more sense to me now that Houses Dellamorte, de Riva and Cantori could have wildly different ideas about slavery and torture prisons than, say Houses Arainai and Valisti--and have extremely limited power to shift the culture of competing Houses. Even the First Talon's position is deeply precarious.

Whew. Good night!

(Just realised as I was tagging that I haven't slotted The Wigmaker Job in anywhere. I thiiiiink Viago mentions in 'Eight Little Talons' that Lucanis is currently in Tevinter for a job, maybe a sly reference to Wigmaker? But I cannot possibly get sucked in any deeper, my dog is losing her entire mind at me STILL being at the computer.)

***

Waking up and editing to add: At some point in her time as a Talon (probably First but I guess maybe not?), Caterina wiped out another house so completely that Teia doesn't even recognise the name, Gaspari, when Viago mentions it in 'Eight Little Talons'. Given House Velardo was the one that made a play for First Talon, this is a whole 'nother big intra-Crows conflict that slots in somewhere on this timeline. Caterina is ruthless, y'all.

***

Editing again a few days later to report that I was flicking through WoT and spotted a WHOLE-ASS ENTRY on Claudio Valisti that I’d managed to miss. I was… not happy. I’m begging you BioWare, no more information. I cannot reconcile it.

Anyway. World of Thedas, vol 2, p 44, has Claudio Valisti taking over from his father as Eighth Talon in 9:34, quickly getting the house to Sixth Talon and appearing to be going places. This appears to contradict p. 96 of the same, which has a Third Talon Claudio Valisti helping House Arainai in 9:28, as described above.

I thought very carefully about tearing the page out, burning it, and forgetting I ever knew this particular piece of lore.

Instead I have decided fuck it, we have a father-son pair here. Senior helped out Arainai in 9:28. His house later fell to Eighth (in my incredibly unwieldy and underdeveloped headcanon this is partly because helping Arainai really pissed off Caterina). Claudio Senior dies in 9:34, Claudio Junior inherits. By the time Junior dies to Isabela in 9:38-40 he’s got the house properly back on track, so the loss of a leader doesn’t destabilise them too badly.

Ezio Valisti is Third Talon in 9:41, according to the Winter Palace announcer in Inquisition, and the house still holds the third seat in 9:44.

(Also edited Teia’s birth year from 9:15 to 9:17; I misread Eight Little Talons. She’s 28 during the events of the story.)

'Return to my embrace, Ephidel.' Lord Nergal's voice echoes, 'return to the warmth of my love.'

The promise of it continues to be all too tempting.

Celephais 28.5/30HP casts Painless World on the party! [Roll: 14 - 4 = 10; Hit] Ephidel is inflicted with -6 dexterity for their next turn.

His arms surround his creation, long fingernails dragging up their limbs and almost consuming them entirely. 'To your Master, to your God.'

Yet, again the thought is cemented in Ephidel's mind that they can not fulfill his wishes. Not of their true god, not even to the illusion of him. In both, they were a failure. They did not deserve him; but his false-master was right about one thing.

Ephidel struggled back to their feet.

Ephidel does NOT sync with the vengeful spirit of Nergal

They were not meant to heal; made only to destroy. Pasithee herself had proven as much to the morph. And then that fire began to burn within them again, and with it, a will and desire formed on their own. Outside of purpose. Outside of loyalty and servitude. Outside of Lord Nergal or the church or existence itself.

Ephidel wanted to dismantle this illusion, not for the church, but to prove the inherent treachery Pasithee saw in them. To be the thief she had branded them as months prior. To snatch away what ever they could of her remaining happiness.

Ephidel staggered forward, Fimbulvetr coalescing in their grasp.

Ephidel 10/10HP attacks Celephais 18.5/30HP with Fimbulvetr at melee range! Heartseeker activates! [Roll: 7 + 2 = 9; -2.5HP] Post-Apocalyptic Savior activates! [Roll: 1, hit! -2.5HP, Celephais 16/30HP] ; Celephais is frozen! Celephais is unable to counterattack! Poison Strike activates! -1HP, Celephais 15/30HP

The tundra strikes true, and encases Celephais in solid ice. Ephidel would find Pasithee. They would find her and destroy her with hands made only to kill.

murder is a long-term investment

Some photos of strange accounts of a cyber stalker harassing Rachel (Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson situation).

I have seen certain specific accounts on TikTok, Instagram, Tumblr, YOUTUBE, Reddit, but those accounts, which is probably the same person, spend their 24/7 harassing Rachel, or any fan who shows a minimum of support for her, the stalker will delete their accounts, make some new ones, change their name 100 times, but always, always is harassing cybernetically, attacking her physical appearance, spreading false and horrible rumors, and waiting for Rachel to step on the wrong foot to start saying terrible comments towards her. (Stalker has some “official/constant” accounts, which are the ones that sometimes changed their name, in fact, I remember that there was one that had changed her name more than 20 times, but I think she also has other accounts that she deletes and creates easily, and the crumbs that remain from those deleted accounts or deleted comments, are when on social networks, any Rachel Fan responds to the stalker, and only the fan's comment remains and an “@“, that when you click "no longer exists" or "not loads").

I'm 100% sure that a while ago Rachel and her friends once talked about that cyber stalker, please, if you have that clip, let me know, and pass it on to me, you would be very helpful haha ❤️.

According to me, I didn't want to get involved in anything negative about Rachel and Hayden (since a crazy anon came to my asks box). But I still wanted to publish this, since some have been talking about this topic.

Here I leave only some accounts, although rest assured that she will get defensive, again she will change names or delete and create accounts, and the same cycle will be repeated. I want to put all the accounts, but obviously, I can't hahaha.

(The names I remember the most are Lilah, Camila, Sophia, there are more but I don't remember well (and now she calls herself Isadora) (Same person or a group of friends, I don't know, but this is not right).

(I will put the accounts, and not the horrible comments, since that would be a longer post than it already is, and anyway you can see it for yourself, since it is not a secret the amount of hatred that reaches Rachel)

(These are NOT accounts that casually left a bad comment, these accounts are people who were literally staking, harassing, bullying cyber-minded in a very DISTURBING way, too manyyyy creepy comments)

I saw a certain post and I couldn't agree more, haters disguised as fans are always saying that Hayden is very intelligent, and polite and smart when talking too, and that he got a Harvard scholarship, etc, etc.

And at the same time, they will treat him as a stup1d child who does not know how to make his own decisions, as if he had no say in the decision to spend time with Rachel, or how he manages his co-parenting with her.

Haters will say that Rachel is in need of attention and will hate that she is published or that her name is together with Hayden's name in a post, but at the same time, instead of ignoring her, Haters will harass and speak with a hate speech obsessively of Rachel, giving her just the attention that they hate Rachel receives.

I really think Hayden is a good man, and he's smart. I don't understand why they infantilize him in such a strange way when it comes to "R".

Even if now they are family. They are no longer together romantically, not that we know of. Anyway, what does it matter to us, whether they are together or not, it will not change anything for the fans, or for anyone.

Don't you like her? Okay, understandable, but let go of this weird parasocial relationship, stalkers will literally focus more on whether Rachel stepped on the wrong foot, instead of supporting HAYDEN.

I just finished watching MotA again. on the first round I loved Callum Tuner’s Bucky and read all the ff available. This round it’s all about Rosie Rosenthal and Nate Mann. Will you write any stories with an OC with Rosie?? The man’s story is just amazing!!

I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Thanks for the ask, Kind Anonymous Friend!

I'll be really honest - I kind of ran out of energy to write anything new because I didn't see anyone reading or connecting in a tangible way with any of the other three characters I wrote for MOTA.

I notice, for instance, that you didn't mention Cordelia, my specific character for Bucky, in your comment to me. Whether you wanted to or not, that tells me something about how you read my fic.

I'm not angry, Anon - please don't take it that way. I am saying this in the nicest, calmest way possible. But also please remember that fanfic is a community - and a community isn't just asking, it's giving and supporting as well, and having conversations, and giving encouragement. It's supposed to be more like a potluck, and being part of a potluck means if you really liked the chicken salad, you should tell the person who made that chicken salad, not just a person who made a salad. It would even be appropriate to ask for the recipe! And it's okay to ask if next time that person will think about making cake, but again, no one seems to have liked my salad, so there's not a lot of reasons for me to try making a cake, are there?

Authors I know who are writing OCs for Rosie right now:

@floydmtalbert (Louise Johnson) -

@upontherisers (Isadora Montgomery)

@basilone (Imogene Chapman)

@softspeirs (Grace Fleming)

@wexhappyxfew (Judy Rybinski)

@hesbuckcompton-baby (Frances "Frankie" Bevan)

@aloveforjaneausten (Margaret Maitland)

My apologies if I overlooked someone - these are just folks I see on my dash and in my Discords regularly.

There appear to be 54 works, as of this posting, in the Robert Rosenthal / OC tag on Archive of our Own, here.

I also recommend Emily Yellin's Our Mother's War for a three page write up on Rosie's actual wife, Phyllis Heller Rosenthal, who is much cooler than anyone I could come up with on my own.

In just a night, the four lost bodies are once again found—Holst and Reyson by Selena’s own party, Nergal and Harken by their rest. Four—so are they numbered, when none of them should’ve been. (Had seven been all who were lost; had the killings stopped then and no later…)

It takes not a moment longer for Selena’s senses to dull—an unnatural draw into the recesses of her consciousness. (She had to remain sharp in a moment like this, and yet: she finds she is unable.) All that remains is her hearing and the echoing question:

Will you stay in Rusalka and defend it or will you try and make your escape back to reality?

The first thing that captures her: defend. (It proposed that the village was at risk; its inhabitants and their lives unsecured—including His Majesty’s.) The second thing she notes: escape back to reality.

If she could’ve sighed then, she perhaps would’ve, for whatever voice this was soothed her mind in its phrasing: Rusalka was, for all intents and purposes, not real. If such was the case, then the consequences were not so dire as she had thought—those were not their still living, and those were not their still dead.

(He was not amongst them—not truly, at least.)

And as so, the answer resolves itself: for if the choice was between an idyllic fantasy and harsh, cold reality, Selena would choose life every time. If not for any other reason, then because her work was not complete—employment aside, there was still Prince Lyon, cast into the shadows; Sir Duessel, a bond still in the process of healing. The alternative was to leave it all behind: to take the coward’s way out.

Her vision refocuses, and she recognizes suddenly the presence of various villagers, the last of the Newcomers amongst their ranks as well. Though not immediately hostile, they were armed—they were prepared for battle (perhaps against the Outsiders; perhaps against them). Selena sees the villagers; she hears their question:

Are you leaving?

“Yes.” (It is the only way to make these sacrifices worth it, after all.) In turn, the villagers brandish their weapons, a combat already brewing—so too does the ex-captain; the past emperor of Grado. Selena palms red beads in her hand.

It is not Thunder. (Lightning stung; this—though it would bring pain, it would only be temporary; it would be unlike the relics of the sky’s rage.)

“Your Majesty,” and her eyes turn to Vigarde’s directly, gaze focused and sharp: “I’m going to have to ask you to stand down.” (A battle was inevitable now, what with the building tension—but he did not have to be here for it.)

There is a glint of recognition—both a look that she knows and a look that is knowing—in his eyes when Selena speaks to him. The Silent Emperor was a man who said much with very little; naturally, the Fluorspar emulated him.

(She made her choice, and she would go forth with it—to the end.)

Selena attacks Vigarde with RED BEADS: Roll: 7 - 4 = 3—MISS. Vigarde: 10/10HP

But determination was one thing—she could choose a path, but that did not mean to go through with it would be easy; or possible. (Ability was another.) The bead shatters on the ground.

Vigarde counters with SPEAR: Roll: 2 - 4 = -2—MISS. Selena: 10/10HP

She ducks past the spear that flies in her direction, except—when she looks at its path, the course of its trajectory before it is drawn back, she sees it: had she just stood there, it would have missed her still. Mage pretends she does not realize what that means.

“I–”

A sharp spike runs through her heart—not a physical pain, she knows; not a magical one either, she can surmise. It is a turmoil of emotions predominated by an intense and nigh inexplicable guilt.

ET TU? activates! Selena: 2 Ruin

(It is the same emotion she felt during the assassination attempt—twice now, by her hand and her liege.) It grows—monstrous feeling, swirling and spreading as though trying to separate her from her being.

Perhaps this was how he lost himself—would he again? (She forces herself to relax.)

“We can still have peace,” is all he says.

The stark difference between Ayumi’s version & Hayami’s version of helping Maya gain recognition for The Forgotten Wilderness to be considered by the Acting Association.

Ayumi proudly supporting Maya, she introduces her to influential people and challenges that 1% chance they bet on. Whereas Hayami humiliates Maya, upstaging the Isadora performance and physically striking her. Hayami can do the exact thing Ayumi does, but doesn’t.

When Maya leaves the event after receiving Ayumi’s help, she’s happy and thankful. When Maya leaves the event after her ordeal with Hayami, she’s left embarrassed and in tears.

For reference, Ayumi’s version is from the unpublished chapter in Hana to Yume. These scenes were cut and swapped out for Hayami’s version instead

senior year photos 📷❕

info on them …

isadora is the main character, she, vincent and akio go to a prep school that’s very competitive and if it weren’t for the fact isa got in through scholarship she’d still go to school with her best friend carmen. encouraged by carmen to go their friendship was still strong up until the last months of senior year and the summer. still, for the four years of prep school, isa would sneak her friend in, and when she would go home her carmen was ready to sneak herself into isas house for a sleepover. isadora never wouldve told carmen of the hell that prep school was, just that she was highly ranked in her class. carmen had a gut feeling though, she’d never question isadora though. isadora liked her secrets, and carmen couldn’t do much either.

vincent and akio were inseparable, every day to class ignoring others unless provoked. they both had problems of their own, family, people, all of it. still, they were able to make the most of it until a situation had occurred that had gotten them suspended, after many, multiple other instances. akio decided not to return, vincent’s parents gave him no choice, one of.. the best decisions his parents made. while akios didn’t return, his father paid for off campus teachers and tutors from the school and was granted his son to have at-least proof of his attendance up until senior year. akio could care less, but his father insisted.

they would’ve loved to have been a friend group if they weren’t so far apart. I picture them being very rebellious and in antics if they were all together. each serving roles in their own way. I believe they would’ve been of better support to one another if they were a group. still, things don’t work out. as adults they’d be more mellow, and their personalities would blend well and stick out

(39) Drastic Changes

Victoria: I don't know, I've felt really burnt out from work and life lately. I've thought about it and I think I need to make some changes. Isadora: Like what? Victoria: I'm gonna quit the job, and I think I need to move back home to Ravenwood. Isadora: I support you with whatever Vic, as long as you're happy, I'm happy.

Victoria: Hey Cindy, congrats with making it official! Now that I'm moving you won't have to worry about coming home late anymore. Cindy: Aw, you're moving? I hope it all goes well, I'll definitely miss seeing you around, though!

a/n; thank you so much @kitkat27 for this idea, i had a lot of fun writing this!

once again, kinda proof read, kinda not

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreamin'

So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

In the dimly lit room of Bridgerton House, Violet held her newborn daughter for the first time. Isadora's tiny fingers curled around her mother's, and Violet felt an overwhelming rush of love and relief. Her heart ached with the absence of Edmund, but in Isadora's delicate features, she saw hope and a future.

The Bridgerton children quietly entered the room, their eyes wide with wonder as they approached their mother and the new addition to the family.

"She's so tiny," whispered Daphne, leaning in to get a closer look.

"Can I hold her?" asked Anthony, his voice soft yet protective.

Violet smiled, tears in her eyes. "Of course, Anthony. Just be gentle."

As Anthony cradled Isadora in his arms, the rest of the siblings gathered around, each taking a turn to hold their baby sister, their faces filled with awe and love.

To you, everything's funny, You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have honey, If you could stay like that

At the age of 10 months, Isadora's first word filled the Bridgerton household with joy. Violet was in the drawing room, playing with Isadora on a plush rug, surrounded by her older siblings.

"Mama," Isadora said, her voice a soft, sweet sound that made Violet's heart soar.

"Oh, Isa! You said 'Mama'! You are so clever!" Violet exclaimed, gathering her daughter into her arms and peppering her face with kisses.

Eloise clapped her hands in delight. "Clearly she’s taking after me"

Colin laughed, ruffling Isadora's hair. "You think quite highly of yourself"

Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Isadora's first steps were a family affair. At one year old, she stood unsteadily in the middle of the nursery, her siblings forming a supportive circle around her. Violet knelt a few feet away, her arms open wide.

"Come to Mama, Isa," Violet encouraged, her voice filled with warmth.

With a determined look on her face, Isadora took a tentative step forward, then another, and another, until she tumbled into Violet's waiting arms.

"You did it, my darling!" Violet cheered, hugging Isadora tightly.

Hyacinth danced around them, her excitement palpable. "Isa walked! Isa walked!"

Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

It could stay this simple

When Isadora was three, the Bridgerton family prepared for an outing to the park. Violet, with Isadora’s small hand firmly clasped in hers, led the way. Isadora, at three years old, was a petite figure with wide, curious eyes that took in the world with a gentle wonder.

The Bridgerton children followed, a lively group that drew admiring glances from passersby. Each sibling had their own distinct personality, but they all shared a fierce protectiveness over their youngest sister.

“Look, Mama!” Hyacinth exclaimed, pointing to a beautiful flower bed bursting with vibrant blooms. “Aren’t they lovely?”

Violet smiled. “They are, indeed. Spring is such a wonderful time to be in the park.”

The children eagerly ran ahead to explore, their laughter echoing through the air. Isadora stayed close to Violet, her little hand never leaving her mother’s.

As they walked, Violet pointed out various sights to her youngest daughter. “See those tall trees, Isa? They’ve been here for many, many years.”

Isadora nodded, her eyes wide with interest. “They’re very tall, Mama.”

“They are,” Violet agreed. “Just like your brothers and sisters. But you’ll grow tall and strong too, my love.”

They reached a large, open grassy area where the older children had already begun a game. Isadora watched them with a mix of curiosity and caution.

“Would you like to play with them, Isa?” Violet asked, gently encouraging her.

Isadora hesitated, then shook her head. “I like being with you, Mama.”

Violet knelt down and kissed her daughter’s forehead. “And I like having you with me, my sweet girl. But it’s also fun to run and play with your brothers and sisters. Would you like to try? I’ll be right here.”

Isadora looked at her siblings, who were having so much fun, and finally nodded. “Okay, Mama.”

Violet called out to the others. “Gregory, Hyacinth, can you include Isadora in your game?”

Benedict, with his infectious energy, bounded over and scooped Isadora up, twirling her around. “Come on, Isa! Join us!”

Hyacinth joined in, her laughter ringing out. “We’ll be gentle, Isa. It’s lots of fun!”

I won't let nobody hurt you

Won't let no one break your heart

Isadora giggled as Gregory set her down, and soon she was running alongside her siblings, her earlier hesitation forgotten. She might not have been as quick or agile as the others, but their encouragement and patience made her feel included and loved.

Violet watched with a contented smile, her heart full as she saw Isadora’s face light up with joy. Despite the sorrow and challenges they had faced, moments like this reminded her of the strength and love that bound the Bridgerton family together.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the park, the family gathered their belongings and made their way back home. Isadora, tired from the day's excitement, was carried by Anthony, her head resting against his shoulder.

Violet walked beside them, her heart full. Despite the trials they had faced, days like this reminded her of the strength and love that bound them together. With Isadora’s quiet presence always near, Violet felt a sense of peace and gratitude that carried her through each day.

And no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up

At four, Isadora was ready for her first schooling lessons. Her mother with her to support her on this significant day. Violet, holding Isadora’s hand, walked her to the schoolroom where her governess awaited.

“You’ll do wonderfully, Isa,” Violet assured her, smoothing a stray curl.

Isadora looked up with wide eyes. “Will you stay with me, Mama?”

Violet smiled and knelt down to her level. “I’ll be right outside, my love. You’re going to learn so many exciting things.”

Gregory and Hyacinth peeked in, waving enthusiastically. “Good luck, Isa!” they chorused.

Never grow up

TD Danganronpa AU

The Ultimate Talents- part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4

So uh, spoilers for the Danganronpa games/series as I will be discussing some characters and comparisons and maybe plot points?

This is the list of the ultimate talents I decided on for each contestant, why I did so and some background information. As always, I'm always up for a discussion.

All of these have different outfits to the usual TD ones so once again, you're gonna have to bear with me on the vague descriptions of said outfits.

Tyler Reynolds- The Ultimate Rock Climber

Rock climbers need strong grip. Also, since he's canonically bad at sports, especially those he enjoys, I thought it'd be funny if the one sport he's really really good at, he doesn't actually consider a proper sport since there's no running or balls or bats/rackets involved.

I also had him as a candidate for the ultimate lucker because of his clumsiness and the whole defying physics thing. But then I thought it'd be interesting if it was more like a nagito and kazuichi thing where the actual ultimate lucker's luck affected him which makes his natural born clumsiness so much worse. Plus clumsiness didn't need to be part of a talent, like with Mikan and how she switches up to insane competence when nursing compared to everything else.

Grew up surrounded by sports as his dad's a sports announcer. Because of this, he has a deep love and passion for them. Which is why he refuses to admit that he's absolutely terrible at them.

But, surprisingly enough, put him on a cliff side and he's as graceful as a mountain goat scaling the walls with his insane grip and finger strength with no additional equipment.

He joined TD as a chance to show off and test his skills, plus the money could help him go pro in any sport he wanted! And he was one of the first chosen due to his hilarious contradiction in sporty situations.

Outfit- no tracksuit. The only reason is because he and Lindsay went on a date the day beforehand. They ended up visiting clothes shops and Lindsay bought them matching outfits which they immediately wore the day after (day of the abduction). He still had the sweatband on for some reason.

Noah- The Ultimate ???

Support ig

Full on amnesia. Woke up in a classroom wearing a wig and a thick coat with a note that says trust no one. Incredibly suspicious of the fact that everyone here seems to know each other and they called her Noah. Guess the smartest thing to do is play along as male for now until she learns more about the situation...

I had thought about her being the ultimate gamer or something else to do with electronics due to Noah's canon talents with it. Cause then it'd be an ultimate gamer known for their sleeping habits (chiaki much) or even an ultimate based on technology pretending to be the opposite gender (hello Chihiro). But then I was like, that would actually be a pretty good red herring.

So instead, the ultimate gamer in this world would be Kitty and Noah is just really determined to beat her.

Noah may be the ultimate ??? but she'd much rather spend her time gaming. And her skills in technology isn't her talent but because of her talent and greatly assists.

Outfit- all anyone can see is an incredibly long (and extra puffy) puffer coat with deeeeeeep pockets, boots and a pair of thin leather gloves. Under that though, I could imagine it being similar to Kirigiri's beta design, mainly because I like the hairstyle and overall skirt thing.

Isadora 'Izzy' Baker- The Ultimate Lucker

Antagonist.

Izzy was one of four people I considered as the ultimate lucker. And honestly, I felt like it fit with her character the best. Then I put all of the contestants for the first season in a random wheel thing and Izzy's name was selected and that just confirmed it.

Her luck is the reason she's survived so many of her shenanigans. But then again, her luck is the reason she got in those shenanigans in the first place. Due to her intelligence, as a child everything bored her. In fact, it was only because of the randomness and chaos her luck granted her that she didn't turn out more... Psychotic. Of course anyone who is basically fates plaything couldn't be called sane, but Izzy embraces it. She loves her crazy chaotic lonely life. Even if it means that everyone, especially her parents, are scared of her and avoid her because of it...

Because of her luck, things always eventually work out for her, even if it's not how she wanted it to be which is why Izzy doesn't even comprehend the meaning of 'consequences'. Even if she does something that would have serious ramifications for her, she just pretends to have another persona. It wasn't Izzy's fault, it was E-scopes or brainzilla. She's well aware of what she does, she just doesn't care and only does it to escape being held responsible.

The last two contestants selected for TD weren't chosen in the same way as everyone else's case due to Chris getting lazy. In Izzy's case, they put the remaining applicants in a lottery and she was chosen. After watching her audition tape Chris knew she was the perfect flavour of chaos for the show.

Funnily enough, she also has partial amnesia. The last thing she remembers is her elimination back on island. How unlucky....

In the first trial she's not too bad, mainly because of the subject of the first trial, and everyone else is suspicious over Alejandro anyways (curse of the first trial and protags). After that though, she makes her entertainment everyone else's problem. And because of her talent, she knows full well that everything always works out well for her anyways so she's free to be as problematic as her gremlin heart desires.

Outfit- neon green tank top and baggy cargo pants (yes, also neon green). What are the pockets full of? You don't want to know. Her hair is half up half down in buns to resemble bear ears. She's not about to let monochris or monochef be the scariest bears without a fight.....

Devon 'DJ' Johnson- The Ultimate Weightlifter

I probably struggled with his the most but what can I say, he's the strong gentle giant. I can see it being very in character for him to be recognised for his strength but he'd rather be like the ultimate animal carer or something. Shame he's got pretty bad luck around said animals.

As I said previously, I was up in arms about having him or Leshawna due to the emotional impact they could leave in a specific trial and as much as I adore Leshawna, because of DJ's personality it just hits harder (then there was also the 8/8 split. But if Leshawna was there then she would've been a secondary antagonist against Alejandro (maybe main) and the ultimate big sister.

DJ has trained his strength specifically to help his momma out whenever possible, breaking records without even being aware of it. He just wanted to be as strong as possible so his momma didn't have to worry or burden herself with physical labour.

But he would very much prefer spending his time around animals which he loves dearly. Unfortunately, interactions with said animals usually ended with one of them hurt leading him to have basic medical knowledge because he's not going to give up yet! It's why he's great friends with Bridgette, she's helping him with his endeavours.

He was the only other contestant not chosen traditionally. He didn't even apply for it. One of the producers just saw him out in the wild (not literally lol), saw his strength and was like 'yes. This one.' and who is DJ to turn down a chance to win money to help his momma out? And due to it being a summer camp, there were chances for him to make animal friends!

Outfit- he gets a hoodie with a rabbit print on it and jeans. Also no hat. Lazy day fit!

[adalrikr]

A band of mages commissioned by the nearby lord has been experimenting for their latest commission work when suddenly disaster strikes. Their spells go haywire, exploding and devastating the building they had been working in and many of those in the organization themselves. However, none of them are receiving medical aid, the entire town turning them away and the lord being unwilling to pay for their expenses seeing as they have yet to produce a finished work. It looks as if they could use the extra hands and medical attention if you could spare it… [Grants Faith +1]

Erk trails behind Lady Isadora and their other companion, smaller steps just barely able to keep up as they walked through the town. He could emphasize with the mages that had been hurt in the backfire of an experiment, having many a spell blown up in his own face back when he had still been learning how to commune with the spirits and just barely able to remember the chants.

But he'd had Lady Louise or Lord Pent to lend him a comforting hand if he was truly injured. These mages had only been turned away from every door that they had knocked on.

"... Do you intend to help...?" He asks quietly, inquiring both his companions. Lady Isadora had a kind heart from what he had seen back in Elibe, so he did not doubt that she was willing. But the man - Chrom, if Erk remember correctly - was a complete unknown.

Erk quickly glances back towards the ground after speaking, youthful hands clutched tightly to a staff that he did not truly need. Fodlan's magic did not rely on conduits, but he was still unused to such things. And... he was already shaky on his knowledge of healing magic, not anywhere close to Lord Pent's level. He still wanted to help though. To do the best that he could.

"... I... I think it would be wrong of us not to..."
