@nesufuratu & @royal-botanist | Trick or Treat! 

    The meager, dying light of an old candle flickers against the caress of the wind as it slithers in through parted windows; brushing aside silk curtains and ruffling the pages of books that have been left open upon the floor. And it’s strangely hypnotic dance casts eerie shadows upon the walls that stalk the scarcely lit room like carnivores; highlighting old portraits of forgotten kings and velvet rugs that that had been gifts from long lost nobles. But they’re little more than a mockery in the presence of fluttering capes and dark fabric that seems to glow in the timid gaze of the tiny flame that distorts pretty features in favor of highlighting the scowl upon the prince’s smooth lips (as if to mimic the stoic expressions of the men who have laid claim to the same title as they bore holes into his back from the safety of their haughty paintings). And it’s a stark contrast to the way a devilish grin tugs at the corners of a paling mouth; yellow eyes piercing through the darkness like the sharpest of knives.  

       “Unnerved are you?” The vampire purrs; chilled words striking the other man’s chest like a cleaver as he leans closer; the pointed edge of a nail dragging along the prince’s chin until long fingers curl about his chin. And the booming noise of the party unfolding in the ballroom nestled beneath their feet feels like it’s taking place an entirely different world; one full of liars and imposters that try to mingle about in the dead of night like they have some place being there. Rather than they one they’ve built up here; behind locked doors, where the prince’s hot breath is the only thing truly alive, and it burns against his skin   

         “You flatter yourself too much,” Leo retorts, features remaining largely unchanged as his gaze settles on Veles, but he can feel a chill slither up at his spine at the touch. It’s not enough to make him falter; not even for a moment (and not when that damnable smirk is sprawled across those lips like he’s won this argument; because the prince would never let him off so easily). So it’s with little hesitation that he reaches out to wrap warm fingers (that feel like an inferno against the thick fabric of Veles’s vest) around that obnoxious cravat tied about the other man’s neck, and yanks him down with enough force to rattle the papers scattered about the desk (oh how the vampire would just be overjoyed by their fluttering forms as they fell to the ground) as Veles’s hands slam down on its wooden frame, landing on either side of the prince’s hips to prevent himself from falling face first into the other man (and he could have easily resisted if he so desired, after all, he was stronger than any mortal man could ever hope to be).   

          “Your manners are in need of-” And he’s swiftly cut off by the prince’s lips as they slam into his with such a lack of grace that he’s almost appalled. Heat pouring into his mouth, as fingers tightened about the prince’s jaw; knuckles went white against stiff fabric that was still clutched so tightly between the prince’s fingers that all of the blood was draining from his hands. 

            “My manners are in need of what?” The prince breathes as he pulls away from the other; a grin to rival stretched across his own features. And he doesn’t think he’ll come to regret the motion anytime soon.

I've had a pretty bad fever and slept for quite some time. Now i just woke up and checked my phone.

2DAYS?!!? I slept 2whole days???? What the hell?!?

Why didn't mom wake me up? This isn't like her at all. Did sje give me my meds in my sleep? Ugh who cares now. I'm feeling better. 48hours of total black out was just what i needed. But god am i hungry now....

Wtf why won't the door open? C'mon it can't be seriously locked!!

*shuffling and grunting in the hallway*

Hooooooooold up. What's that??

*i peep through the keyhole* *terrified gasp as i stumble backwards* *outside, in the hallway, there's this ugly decomposing WALKING corpse* its a prank its a prank its gotta be a prank

*but the stench tells otherwise*

I need to get to the kitchen else imma starve here.....the door's clearly locked. The window! Imma sneak out the window!

*carefully i stand on the outer window still. The street looks awful, cars abandoned in the middle of the road, some even turned upside down. And lots of those....things walking around* they can't be zombies could they? Zombies aren't real....

*i climb down the water spout as quietly as possible* *luckily the kitchen window is open and no one seems to be inside*

Alright. First lemme close the door then eat something. Need to make a list of what i have and how long it'll last..... where's mom and dad? Hope they're safe. *I stop a sniff*

*after closing the door i find some milk and cereal. It seems electricity hasn't gone out yet since the fridge works* *as im about to take a seat, my foot hits something, sending it across the room* *its a phone. Mom's phone* *i turn it on. Messenger is open. She didn't get to send a last text....to me: 'pls be safe and don't open the door. You got t survive for us. We hold thm off as good as we cdkxfkflldk '*

They......they....no way. No no no no no!!! Could they be.....the zombie i saw in the hallway. I need to get a better look. But then what? What if it's them? Can i really...? I have to. It's not a matter of 'can' or 'cant'. They wanted me to live. This is what i will do. But first, provisions.

*i count some cans of food, an unopened pack of cereal, some veggies and what's left of mom's chicken soup* *it should keep me going for a few days until i make a plan to go out* *got several water bottles and a pack of beer*

*i take the small axe mom uses for chopping bones for soup* *i take a deep breath and slowly open the door*

*i look left and right: front door is wide open, will have to close it. The hallway seems empty for now, need to check the living room* *i quickly close the door and head towards the only other room*

Shit. SHIT!!! NOT dad! No no no nooo.....

*i struggle to not scream at the sight: dad, one arm missing, is sluggishly walking through the room, grunting to himself. Face mauled so bad i can barely recognize it, slowly decomposing. The smell is unbearable*

I can't do it. I can't do it. Dammit! I can't! No you bitch, you must!! That's not your dad anymore. The dead are supposed to stay dead. You gotta do it. You got this. Just get the head, smash it as hard as you can.

*i slowly make my way across the room, careful to not make any noise, need the moment of surprise* *im close enough. I raise the axe and...............strike* *the sickening sound of bones breaking fills my ears, the wet slosh of the axe leaving the skull makes me sick to the stomach* *the zombie falls to the ground* *i nudge it with my foot. It doesn't move. I killed it*

*shaking i tiptoe my way upstairs* *time to deal with the other one*

*it saw me! It runs towards me, still slower then a normal human* *i shriek and in the last second swing the axe* *the head tumbles to the ground, soon followed by the body* *im shaking terribly at this point* *fall to my knees and start crying*

Im sorry im sorry im sorry!!!! Mom dad im sorry!! I had to, i have to live for you. Forgive me! Im sorry! Im sorry! Please oh please let this be all nothing but one of my sick dreams!!

*sobbing and exhausted i fall asleep on the now blood soaked carpet*

It's been a week. Im outta food officially. Can still eat what's in the fridge but it'll go bad soon. I shouldn't go too far into the city before i have better weapons and know more about these shits. Hmmmmmm🤔 neighbor's house it is.

*i put my black hoodie on and some sneakers* *armed with the axe and a backpack im ready to head out* *the street seems empty. Yesterday a car's alarm started blaring somewhere down the road, attracting the zombies. I wrote about this in my little notebook: sensitive to sound*

*i bolt out the door and only stop in front of Jim's house* hope he's not dead in there too.

*i find the door unlocked and slip inside* *silence. No sign of zombies roaming* *i head to the kitchen and start searching*

*nothing useful* guess he managed to leave and took everything he could.

*i look around the house some more. I manage to find a bigger axe*

*getting out. Halfway back i stop in my tracks. A zombie's walking nearby. According to mom's behavior they also are attracted by movement* *BUT NO ONE COULD'VE GUESSED THEY ARE ATTRACTED BY SMELL TOO HOLLY SHIT* *he smelled me and charged* *i ran all the way home and slammed the door shut*

*panting* fuck fuck fuckkk. Gosh that was close.

*i go to the living room where i layed mom amd dad's corpses* *the stench is terrible. Im keeping the windows half open all the time* guess you two don't have any ideas on how to keep these fuckers away huh? They see me, they charge. They smell me, they charge. What the hell should i do? God you guys stink, i should bury you some time.

Or maybe..........? Hmmm might work. Let's test it.

*i take mom's head by the remaining hair and go to the front door where i can hear the zombie scratching at it* *i open it ajar and put the putrefying head in front of the gap* *i hear the zombie sniffing then grunting, then it goes away* interesting...

*i close the door again and throw the head on the couch* *i run upstairs to my room and grab the notebook: 'zombies are attracted by sound, movement and smell. They recognize eachother by the smell of decay. Using enough of their blood or flesh etc can keep them away. Need to see if you need to act like them too' *

.

.

.

Today i ate the last of that salad. Need to search for more food. Most neighbors either left and took everything good or didn't have anything canned and is now spoiled. I should try to make my way towards one of the stores. I should prepare.

*i go downstairs. Take dads large coat off the clothes rack*

Hey mom, dad. Im sorry but need a favor from you two.......

*i take the big axe next to the couch and start butchering one of the corpses* *blood and chunks of flesh fly all over the place* *when im done, im left with a bloody paste of guts and rotten meat* *using a glove i then smear the coat with the smelly paste* *i feel like gagging* this should do..

*i put the coat on, take the axe and my trusty backpack*

*with shaky hands i open the front door and step out into the blazing sun*

It's time to head out.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5 Recap Pt. 2

WARNINGS: SPOILERS; not a D@€n€e¥$ fan; Jonsa shipper (and proud)

———— 3- In King’s Landing Jaime is trying to talk Cersei out of fighting, he watched some awful shit I can’t blame him, I mean they were against 1 dragon and it was a massacre, they don’t stand a chance with the 3 D has, he says all this stuff plus the fact that the Scorpion wasn’t able to harm the Dragon. But Cersei is having none of this, she knows if she gives up the throne it would mean dying and she would rather die fighting than handing over the throne (damn she is truly insane).

A truth bomb is dropped on Cersei when Jaime suggests Tyrion could intercede for them with D (LMAO dude D is unlikely to listen but whatevs) Cersei is like oh yeah he loves us so much he killed our son and our daddy, Jaime is like no he didn’t, Cersei is like dude you saw the crossbow what-? Jaime is like LOL no I meant he totally killed dad, but he didn’t kill Joffrey it was Olenna she told me so after she was sure to die in a painless way. Cersei is absolutely pissed off and she regreats ever listening ro Jaime in having compassion for an old lady.

4.- D and Drogon are back in DS, Jon is once again using the incest fur and looking too damn hot for someone who is scared shitless. Anyway in a moment of bravery or Targaryensness he takes of his glove and pets the beast.

D is looking impressed and kinda turned on (same) so she dismisses her son and is like aren’t they beautiful? Jon is like yeah not the word I would use for them *D glares at him* oh no I meant they are glorious beasts don’t kill me pls… And she is like idgaf if people think they monsters they still my babies (I have dogs and I kinda relate to idc if they animals I Love them but dude she uses them to kill people my babies just lick your face like no) and Jon tries not to look repulsed, instead he asks how things went and D says she has fewer (oh yes I learnt from Stannis too) enemies now and she guesses from Jon’s expression he doesn’t know how to feel about it (oh dear I think he knows how that makes him feel but he would never say it to your face,he is your prisioner that wants to get out of DS alive) and compares her butchering of the Lannister-Tarly army to Jon and Sansa retaking their home form the Boltons, well if you want to make that parallel then yes but you are the Bolton’s D you are trying to take control of a place that doesn’t be long to you just like the Bolton’s took WF, also let’s not forget Jon told the Bolton-Karstark-Umbers soldiers they didn’t had to die needlessly (a chance to yield) for a coward like Ramsey, so no.

And D is like super excited to know about the dagger to the heart thing (OMG we can be the super magical speshul couple) and Jon is like LOL Davos is a drama queen, D doesn’t seem to believe it but we are Lucky cuz Jon doesn’t have to explain himself now that Jorah is here to distract and kiss the ground D steps on, he falls on his knees (I know he is in Love but he is too over the top for me sorry) and D is genuinely happy to have him back (they have a very good chemistry) amd Jon is just there like Hey dude met your father and he was the best, but he is clearly uncomfortable like in every scene he shares with D.

We are almost at the end of the season and I still don’t see any interest from Jon’s side.

5.- Bran is in the Godswood, he wargs into a raven and goes beyond the wall, he sees the NK and the NK sees him, he goes back (or his mind?spirit? Does) and tells Maester Wolkan they need to send ravens.

Honestly I wished there was more about Bran than saying the WW are coming towards Eastwatch, we already knew that, that’s why Tormund decided to go there with the Wildling army.

6- Back on the Citadel, the ArchMaesters are having a reunion and Sam is eavesdropping, they don’t believe a word from Bran, amd Sam is like he is saying the truth ffs how do you think a crippled boy survived that long beyond the wall he must be something special, and he has seen them, but the acrhmaesters think it’s a ploy from D so everyone goes south and she can take the IT (dudes she is not so clever) Sam gets out very angry and frustrated while the assholes talk and mock about other prophesies that never happened, and one of the Maester is like isn’t he the boy whose family got bbq by the Dragon Queen, and Slughorn is like yes but I don’t have the heart to tell him yet he is a good boy.

Fuckkkkkk! He deserves to know!! Also Jorah deserves to know precious Kaliisi killed the family of the man that risked his life to save him.

7.- Back on DS Tyrion is drinking again, and has a heart to heart with Varys, let’s say the Master of Whispers is not so sure D is the best option after all, Tyrion is trying so hard to convince himself D did what any good ruler would do and that she is not any worse at the very least (dude I Love living in denial but you are not helping your cause at all) and Varys gives us am insight of what was like working for Aerys and Watch him burn people while dissasociating and saying it was not his doing (oh yes dude but you did nothing to stop him, you just stood there even Tyrion tried to intervene) Tyrion goes into defensive mode about she is not her father (and look I know she was the first ruler to recognize his abilities and give him an important place without mocking his disability like his family and the rest of Westeros did and that is hard to see someone you admire become the bad guy I understand Tyrion) he is right, she is not Aerys… Yet, but she is getting dangerously close to perpetuating all the Targ bullshit her ancestors loved (I insist she is more of an Aegon the Conqueror, not that that is a good thing either, but she isn’t mad, which is more terrifying that a non- paranoic person would do such awful stuff and still think she is in the moral high ground)

Anyway Varys is like seriously dude you GOT to make her listen, and Tyrion is dejected. Varys is holding a letter for Jon, if you didn’t believe he is a prisioner in that fucking island yet that is the proof, he gets his letters intercepted!!

We transition to the war room (Jon pls don’t touch that table, ew) he is dudes my little brother and little sister that I thought dead are Back home and WW are matching towards Eastwatch I’m outta here, D is like oh good your siblings are fine, but I won’t give you any military support cuz Cersei will keep sitting on MY chair if I do nevermind that everyone in the North will die in the meantime, and Tyrion is like but we can also get Cersei’s help if we bring her a WW (gosh this idiot plan) and Jorah is like yup I’m ready to boggie, and Jon is like *sigh* me too, Davos is in protective dad mode and goes like you aren’t going beyond the wall young man you are King!! But Jon is like dad all my friends are going and I am the only one who has fought WW so… D is giving serious heart eyes at Jon, and says she hasn’t given him permission to go (LMAO is this twilight or 50sog??? In what universe is romantic for someone to hold you captive and defensless??) and Jon gives her the metaphorical middle finger and takes away her unburnt title with his response of LOL nobody asked for your permission I am King! Still he remains fairly respectful and ask her to trust him just like he trusted her (LOL but she betrayed that trust holding you captive, taking your boat and your sword but whatevs they really need her help so I understand why Jon still is mindfull). ——- Part 3 is coming!

Shadowhunters season 2

I’m writing this here but this will probably never be seen but still, I need to get this off my chest!!

WHAT THE HELL IS FREEFORM DOING?

I am a huuuuuuuuge fan of Cassandra Clare’s stories, mainly TMI/TID - I don’t even want to read TDA, Emma’s not a character interesting enough for me. 

I watched the season 1 of the TV show because it is Shadowhunters, a universe I love. I did, in spite of my enormous disappointment with a big part of the cast. I watched it, with the hope that they wouldn’t destroy the essence of the series.... Season one didn’t destroy it, but it scratched it pretty bad, with a lot of nonsense and a Doll-like Clarissa and a Football-team-captain Jace, a so not French-looking Camille Belcourt (Shall I remind someone that she is supposed to be a beautiful blond haired blue eyed woman? They got the beautiful part, but she looks more like a latino than a Frenchie from the court of King Louis XIV, just saying). Lydia (never mentioned in the books) and Alec’s wedding was only fan service and useless ploot-wise. The revelation about Alec’s sexual orientation should have happened like in the books, because it’s at a very very important moment. The return of Jocelyn to life was messed up as well. But these were the worst parts for the season 1.

Now moving on to season 2: Freeform is butchering the show. I know it is not supposed to copy the books. But as the main fanbase is the one who’s familiar with the original story, they could have done much better than this unnameable BS! Jocelyn dying in episode 4? Sorry what? Jocelyn is present in the very last pages of the last book!!!!!! Jace and Clarissa meeting Ithuriel BEFORE another veeeeery primordial character’s apparition?? Oh no, gosh no!!!!! It’s total nonsense! Izzy getting high on Yin Fen? What? Okay that’s cute to put a reference to Jem and TID here, but that’s plain stupid and doesn't bring anything to the story. Too many characters being Out of Character since episode one. I’m watching until the end, and I will watch the next season if they do another. But only out of curiosity, and with the slimmer-by-the-day hope that they will salvage the show and get it back on track eventually.

There was a lot of negative criticism after the movie was released, but every Book’s fan has to admit that it was a lot lot lot more faithful to the original story. All the characters were looking their age - with a lot of issues in their appearance, sure, but still. At the very least Lily didn’t look like she was ready to walk the red carpet on a regular basis, unlike Katherine with her perfect make up and curls. Jaime was able to bring the real sass of Jace, including some pick-up lines, and there was some chemistry between him and Lily. Jonathan Rhys Meyer may have looked too young and as far as possible from the original look of Valentine, but he had the attitude. Alan is doing a good job too, and that’s probably the best character of the whole TV show alongside Izzy. Dorothea was an old possessed witch, and not some sort of sister-like figure to Clarissa... Hodge was a graying bookworm, not some badass young fighter... There are so many disturbing things in the TV show I can’t even list them all.... Inquisitor Herondale coming in season 1??? whaaaat? She’s so very important a character that it was insane to bring her in so early! 

Another thing, and I am going to get beaten I’m sure: they put to many emphasis on Alec and Magnus’ relationship. It’s pure fanservice here too, and that’s a filler for the plot holes they created. It was supposed to be a cat and mouse relationship. Not a full-on “I crash your wedding and you kiss me in front of the whole Clave and then you come to my home and we make out some more then argue then make up and repeat”. They are leaving out too many important parts (Alec’s jealousy over his previous lovers and Magnus’ temper are just barely hinted when it is supposed to be the axis of the relationship between them).

I have seen a lot of adaptations from books. A lot. But... this...thing... is by far, the worst of the worst ever done. It just looks like they took the six books, and picked random pages while blindfolded and then tried to put them together... 

You may hear a lot of hate in here, and as well you should. The only thing keeping me watching is the universe it comes from. 

As a final note, I am currently wondering if they are going to add J.C Morgenstern (better known as....)  in the TV show... Because the events right now sure don’t give a clue... And IF they do, AND miscast the actor, their is going to be a riot... because even as an antagonist, he is one of the most loved characters of the whole franchise..... 

That will be all. (for now)
