#“well that's different she's not a ruling queen she's cheating the king--”

[somnus-lucis-caelum]

Aerith wasn’t the first princess he met. Far from it. And with Aera around, Somnus felt that most princesses had been similar to her. Maybe behind their walls they all were different, but usually there was a healthy distance und just exchanges of formal pleasantries. Like the court rules foresaw.

With her though? She just talked. And made him talk.

She claimed she had a hand in the relationship of the queen and king. She did not fault him for hunting, even if she did not like meat so much. She knew she was cheating with her abilities to fish. She was so open about everything and offered perspectives that were… refreshing. That did not fit into the very strict and oldschool views the court here often applied to everything.

Somnus eyed the chess board for a moment. She was baiting him, wasn’t she? But he would do as she wished. With a smile, he slowly lifted the figure on his side that she apparently intended to strike next.

“Well. You will have to tell me about your favourite labour-intensive meal dish now. And of course you will have to show me the fishing trick after I won here.”

And he sat the figure down, gesturing towards her then.

“The ocean… it’s beautiful. Wild. So endlessly more than a lake or river. I need to show it to you...”

Though this had him leaning back a bit, the smile fading for a more serious expression.

“Yesterday evening, when we were by the cliffs… Aerith, I did not intend to lead you on, or what ever it is you believed. I was just- I was afraid you would actually try to climb down there and would end up hurt. Back then I did not know you could climb any wall. Or control plants and water. I also did not know your family had a dragon, which they would probably have gladly fed me to, if you had gotten injured in my company.”

The last sentence painted a little streak of mischief into his eyes again.

“I wanted to get you down there – but… safer. My way.”

Aerith's eyes lifted from the chess board to regard the man across from her. He tested the name like a new flavour. Ultimately it interested him, which prompted a thoughtful hum from her. "I might even be nice and build a beginning deck for you.~"

Of course she would. If anyone showed an interest, she tried to recruit them into her growing numbers. Back at the castle there were small tournaments, such was the popularity of the card game. Especially when paired with a special board to make it look more dramatic.

Somnus' revelation about speaking too much earned a laugh from the Princess. She was a known yapper. "If only you knew. I started young, you know. It's because of me that mum met dad. I just couldn't keep my mouth shut and she had to sum up the new face all for herself."

She hoped they would have met all the same without her childish interactions. But still, she had some bragging rights there.

"On the contrary, your hunting abilities would impress me. You're feeding people. That's impressive. Your cooking abilities are up for debate." It was a gentle tease. "I don't like the taste of meat in general, and I don't like the feeling when I eat too much. I will give something a chance, and if I don't like it, I won't eat it again. The rare meat dishes I do are time and labour intensive, the kind of thing that I wouldn't burden our busy kitchens with outside of a special occasion." It was a long-winded explanation to say 'picky eater', she supposed.

Then she exhaled an amused breath. Fishing... "You would call it cheating." She made another risky move, really trying to push him into an open position to strike. "If I have a good sight of a fish, I can create a water spout to shoot it right up in the air." Like she said. Cheating.

"I'm a freshwater girl. Lakes and rivers and lifesprings. Fluffy duckling armies and frogs. I never really had the chance to be around the ocean, what's it like?"

 The Queen of Death

(2/?)

Fandom: house of the dragon

You read about it many times as a kid

Legends say the island was filled with the strongest and most dangerous warriors

Men and women

The king and Queen throne and crown were made out of there enemy’s

They believe that they are there own ruler, they don’t need the king of king landing telling them what to do

They wear there colors with pride (purple and black)

“The live will walk but the dead will rule”

Mortensen is the family name - the meaning of death

If you were in war with them, just hope you said goodbye to your family

And you could never find them unless they want to be found (they give off Dothraki vibe but without the rape and slavery)

“Who are you?”

You looked around the beach you landed on, your eyes landed on a tall dark longed hair man and your heart stopped when you looked at the man.

“Am y/n Velaryon, I was flying when a storm hit and I seem to land here”

“Velaryon you said” a different voice come out, he seem to be wearing and crown made of bones

“Yes, will half Targaryen… your grace ” y/n

“And the dragon, yours?” Same voice

“Yes, your grace” y/n

“And you survived the storm?” Same voices

“It seem so… your grace”

While you were talking , many people of the kingdom started to come out to see you and your dragon

“ Well my dear, you seem to be the chosen one. I am king Alejandro Mortensen and this my eldest son, Prince Miguel. Please come inside and make yourself at home. You most be cold”

They welcome you in with open arms

Your got to meet King Alejandro family, his wife Queen Mariana, his second Elders princess Sofia and husband youngest prince Antonio

The Queen had got you a room made and had you changed in a more traditional Mortensen clothing.

Princess Sofia and you were the same size so while trying on clothes and got to know each other a little but you still had your guard up

They had asked you to join them for dinner to get to know you better

King Alejandro (bigger version of khal drogo) became king when he was seven and one and meet the queen when he was two and one. They fell in love and he married her

Queen Mariana (looks like Ellaria Sand) come from a small house. She ran away from a marriage that her father tried to force on her. She found herself in the storm as well and landed on this island. The restless history.

Prince Miguel was the one who found you on the beach. You found out he was a year older than you. And was to inherit his father’s. While looking at Miguel, he had this dark look to him. But every time your eyes met his light up a little.

Princess Sofia always had a smile on her face, with much attitude. She seem to be pulled towards you.

And Prince Antonio how to Playboy feel to him. But very open to you about himself. No filter.

“so y/n, what brings you to the island of death?” Antonio

And you couldn’t hold it in any longer , you spent months at Kings Landing, holding in the words in your head, and you only been to this island for less than a few hours, and the pain and emotions were gone

you felt peace here

So you told them everything

To the cheating husband, the best friend’s baby and you going mute

“ I never wanna go back well maybe when I’m stronger but for now I need to find somewhere to call home”y/n

“ you can stay here as long as you need” Miguel

“Really”y/n

“ we need more warriors like you” king

“ l’m not a-“y/n

“ Yes you are and don’t tell yourself that. I see myself in you y/n, we will help you get stronger. Is that right Miguel?” Queen

and since that day, the queen and king has took you as their own

you’ve missed your mom and dad dearly, but you needed a new start for yourself

days turn into weeks, two weeks, turning into into months to months turning into years

and you changed

Miguel told you about the history of the death island. Whoever is to survive the storm, the dead who believes you to be the chosen one.

His father and great grandfather and his great great great grandfather wife all come from the storm. The women came at their weakest point and at the end became the strongest queens

And now you are a warrior and soon to be a wife

Miguel and you fell in love, you’ve never knew you could after Harwin.

It took you a year for you to open about your feelings

He was always good to you, even with the hard look on his face

He will make sure you eat before practice, ask about your day even on his busiest days. And helped you with the wounds that you got from sword fighting

He got on Vermithor good side and always found away to get the dragon some food without flying back in the storms

He taught you everything you know, to hand on hand combat, to fighting with a sword. With him, you became one of the strongest warriors on the island.

He was known to be the most dangerous human on the island. Killed many people and went to war for the first time when he was one and five and lead them to win (Very much Drogo vibe)

And the queen herself molded you, teaching you their language, helping you learn the traditions.

She pushed you and Miguel together with any chance she got, like she said, she sees herself and you and only wanted the best

So after a few years being on the island, you married the heir to the death island.

Now you are known as Princess Y/n Velaryon Mortensen……

Throughout the years, you and Miguel had three children and one on the way 

Your twins boys Jośe and Juan and your baby girl Isabella

You loved your children, only wishing your mother and father could see them

One day, you and Miguel was walking hand-in-hand with your children on the beach, when you saw Vermithor flying away in a hurry 

“Momma, where did Ver go” Jośe asked

“I not sure my love but he always come back” y/n

Vermithor didn’t come back for 2 weeks

A note on the side of his saddle

Leana Velaryon is dead…..

[aliciavance4228]

In your opinion, what do you think Perseus feels about each of the younger heroes? Especially considering a good portion of them doomed themselves because of hubris / cheating on their wives

One hero Perseus seems to be contemporary with is Bellerophon. He was exiled to Argos, which back then was ruled by Proteus, and where he was also raped/assaulted/accused of sexual abuse by the queen, which ultimately led to Proteus sending Bellerophon to different missions. Coincidentally enough, Proteus was eventually killed by Perseus (at least according to Hyginus), which I do believe that brought Bellerophon some kind of satisfaction. I do believe that if Perseus and Andromeda would've been the king and the queen at that time and Bellerophon would've been sent to them instead then perhaps Perseus would've treated him as a son, and Bellerophon would've became a better person. Also, maybe Perseus would try to be on good terms with Pegasus as well, considering the fact that he killed his mother without knowing she was pregnant.

Theseus is a more complicated subject. I do think that he would have some sort of distant attitude towards him purely because of his father, Aegeus. According to Tzetzes one of Perseus' daughters, Autochthe, was married to him, but after many daughters and no son he decided not only to divorce her, but also to consult the oracle (and Perseus knows very well what could happen when a king visits the Oracle because he wants a male heir). I also do not find it hard to believe that Perseus would criticize Theseus' personal life as well, considering the fact that dude abandoned a woman he was supposed to marry (whereas Perseus married a woman who was just abandoned) and asked for his son to be killed, without even knowing wheter or not Phaedra's accusations were real. Also, Helen of Sparta was his (step) great-granddaughter, so he has reasons to despise him for kidnapping her too.

Heracles was Perseus' great-grandson, so I find it hard to believe that he was still alive when Heracles was an adult. Perhaps he was more concerned by the fact that his granddaughter's newborn is inhumanly strong for a baby and almost had a heart attack after finding out who is his father.

Ironically enough I think that Perseus would get along with Cadmus the most, but they two never met.

On the last part of your ask, I can see Perseus judging heroes for their hubris, but I have doubts in terms of cheating. While Perseus himself seems to be ahead of his time when it comes to his attitude towards women, that doesn’t change the fact that Ancient Greece was a patriarchal society, and cheating wasn't condemned among men most of the time. Not to mention the fact that having sex slaves wasn't considered cheating back then. One of Perseus' best friends during his reign was Pelops, who had a bastard son. One of Perseus' sons was Electryon, who had a bastard son as well. So while he was a faithful husband that doesn’t mean that the men around him were like him. And considering the fact that there are lots of figures in Greek Mythology both during and after his times who commited WAY MORE horrible crimes I do not consider cheating to be the ultimate criteria that he would use in order to judge other people.

hewwo ma amie !! i came as stated cus bourbon - habsburg infodump exchange

I would actually want a presentation about mariana de austria ... im a loser who doesnt know much about her ! i read about her when she got to spain and was confused about spanish (that was so real from her) but i dont know more cool stuff about her at all ... so feel free to tell me anything you find remarkable about her !

who is your favourite bourbon ? :3

Thank you for this Question:

Queen Mariana of Austria is known as the Mother of Charles II of Spain and the niece/wife of Philip IV. She was Queen Regent when her husband Philip IV died and ruled on Carlos II's behalf until he was 14. Like Charles II, Queen Mariana was a victim of the classic “decline of Spain” paradigm. She is defined by 19th-century historians as “weak,” “unstable,” and “ignorant” but also “Machiavellian,” “scheming,” “with a German outlook” (meaning foreign), at times “melancholic” because she suffered from migraines, and was overly pious and uninterested in politics because she “dressed as a nun." She was accused of handing power over to her favorites; Jose Everardo Nithard and Fernando de Valenzuela. In reality, She was smart, strategic, strong, decisive, and seemingly tactile. Her favorites played a dominant role in her regency but her strong and decisive personality and her extensive and consistent participation in all aspects of government suggest otherwise. She faced two political crises during her regency the first was in 1669 resolved by her dismissal of Nithard; the second, between 1675 and 1677, ended with Valenzuela’s fall and her exile. There is evidence in state papers to prove that she did not surrender power to them. Speaking of Jose Everardo Nithard, He was Mariana's tutor, friend, and later her confessor. He was made inquisitor General. As for Valenzuela, Known as the palace elf, due to his influence and connections to people in high places. He married a woman who is part the queens valet. He provided Queen Mariana information about gossip and rumors that were circulating in Madrid. Valenzuela got more influencial overtime which created tension between him and the court. He was Mariana's protégé. Their friendship caused controversy and nasty rumors where made about them as a result. The worst one I believe was the rumor of Queen Mariana sleeping with Valenzuela. The fact that people actually believe that rumor makes me angry. Mariana was dressed as a nun because this is the type of dress worn by Habsburg widows. She made a few changes to the garb like having princely folds and lavish materials. Queen Mariana was exposed to the Spanish cultural traditions because Mariana's mother is Philip IV's sister. She was exposed to Italian culture because of two generations of italian empresses. Mariana both observed and participated in court ballets, rituals, and ceremonies; her dance master, Santo Ventura, was highly regarded. Boys received this kind of instruction as well. Leopold I, for example, was an avid consumer and practitioner of theater and music as emperor. At the age of seven, for example, Mariana publicly greeted her parents on their return from the Diet of Regensburg in 1641 by saluting her mother in the Spanish style and her father in Latin. When the fourteen-year-old performed a similar greeting in Trento, this time as queen of Spain, she had had at least seven years of practice. Queen Mariana was educated and spoke Latin, Spanish and German well. Judging by her education and her fleunt spanish, I doubt she struggled speaking spanish. I read somewhere that Queen Mariana as a child loves playing with dolls. She was cheerful, obedient, and lively girl. Her marriage to King Philip IV of Spain was always described as a terrible marriage because King Philip "cheated" on her, their different personalities, and massive age gap. In reality, They had an affectionate relationship and King Philip was loyal throughout their marriage. He described himself as a change man and would give Mariana everything she wanted. They did struggle financially though and at times could get caught in a series of arguments. I mean no marriage is perfect.

Gossip writer Barrioneuvo reports that one day The Queen asked for pastries and commented that she was not served for some days. She was told that the pastry cook would not supply the palace until a large outstanding bill had been paid. She removed a ring from her finger and ordered a servant to exchange it for pastries; Manuelillo de Gante told her to put the ring back on and gave the servant a copper to buy some tarts so that the Queen can finish her dinner.

Queen Mariana was the woman behind Castillio De San Marco, After a pirate attack in June 1668 roused Mariana into action. Queen Mariana was horrified receiving this news because the attack was so brutal. On March 11, 1669, the queen regent issued her decree ordering the viceroy of New Spain to send subsidies to the city. She also added funding for the building of a masonry fortification and additional soldiers. To oversee the project, she sent Don Manuel de Cendoya to St. Augustine as the new royal governor. Her judgement protected and spurred the city’s growth over the following decades. This growth even led to a later governor requesting the same regent queen for a new two-story, coquina Governor’s House in St. Augustine.

Mariana was a good mother-in-law to Marie Louise of Orleans. After the wedding of Marie Louise, Carlos introduced Marie Louise. Marie Louise bowed to her but Queen Mariana grabbed her hands and told her to stand; and said "Call me mother" with a smile.

Mariana in the year 1696 felt pain in her breast turns out she had breast cancer and she tries her best to hide it because she did not want Maria Anna of Nueburg to take over. The pain was unbearable that she asked the doctors to check her breast. When they examined the Queen they found a huge tumor in her breast. Their is no treatment for this and she was offered relics and prayers. When she died.

Reports of miracles attributed to her quickly began to circulate. These miracles and her body’s reported “incorruptibility” three years after her death led to a beatification proceeding in the last years of Carlos’s reign. Mariana’s path to sainthood, however, came to an abrupt end when the new dynasty, the Bourbons, took power. Both the beatification proceedings in 1698 and its abandonment in 1702 were as politically motivated as everything else in her life had been

I won't give too much information on her regency because there is a book about it called Queen, Mother, and Stateswoman Mariana of Austria and the government of Spain by Silvia Z. Mitchell. This book is my source about her and the reason why I made this blog so her side of the story will be known. Other sources are from https://governorshouselibrary.wordpress.com/2022/09/22/mariana-de-austria-the-queen-behind-the-castillo-de-san-marcos/?fbclid=IwY2xjawE5D5UBHUpP8HVhtFboR9ZThC2j5LNDLj531pKjmVxtGQbf7A2yMOo2AuNxqEU3Qw

I like 4 bourbons, Philip V, Luis I, Fernando VI, and Carlos III. If I had to choose one it would be Carlos III because he modernized Spain and imposed great reforms.

Sorry I took so long to reply

#beyond the scene being a commentary on rhaenyra/alicent’s reactions to her sexuality #it’s also an important scene bc rhaenyra is forced to lie to adhere to those expectations #and alicent finds out that rhaenyra is willing to lie to her to save her own skin #which has broader implications than ‘oh rhaenyra fucked somebody’ #alicent had spoken up in rhaenyra’s defense and it got her father fired and left her all alone in king’s landing #alicent was also trying to gauge if she was backing the right horse #and rhaenyra essentially confirmed (in her view) that she couldn’t be trusted #again complex scene complex characters (via @teagrammy)

#thisssss #too many people in this fandom refuse to acknowledge the world building at all #which is why almost thirty years past the production of agot we still have people making posts abt catelyn being the only person in westeros #that hates bastards (via @venusintheblindspots-blog)

Who cares who Rhaenyra has sex with

you know that tweet that was like ‘if youre creating a fantasy world why would it include sexism or homophobia 🤨 weirdo of you to put that in. why can’t everyone just be happy and liberated’ and how it completely ruined 2010s booktok fantasy. yeah asoiaf doesnt adhere to that a woman having sex outside of wedlock is ruinous to her reputation daemon taking her out on the town to specifically publicly do this and alicent taking issue with it both make perfect sense in universe its a mock medieval setting. canonically EVERYONE cares who rhaenyra has sex with it is an extremely significant plot point in f&b and hotd. alicent in ep4 is viciously jealous of rhaenyras freedom compared to her own continued marital rape/concerned rhaenyra might have been taken advantage of by daemon/judgemental of rhaenyra’s sexuality due to her conservative upbringing etc its a complex scene theyre complex characters. i can like rhaenyra and not personally care who she has sex with and say ‘a lot of the fandom wilfully misinterprets/underinterprets a scene to fit a narrative in which alicent is a onedimensional bitch’ those are not mutually exclusive

I just sent a completely different ask, so I hope I'm not spamming you, but I just had another thought about your works, I could totally see Queen Nia being forced to have a sham marriage with another kingdom's ruler for the sake of alliance, if threatened with a devestating war otherwise for example, and I could also see that ruler forcing her to carry a heir, and that being the reason why she despises her own child, being forced to carry a child for a relationship she never wanted, all the while having a secret (or possibly open secret) love affair with her "faithful lifetime servant". This would also totally open the door for a polyamorous relationship with the darling, but that's a whole nother' can of worms. None of this is a request by the way, just thoughts I had about your work that I figured you may enjoy, feel free to tell me to keep it to myself.

Hello! :3 This is actually very very fire wait let me cook. (so sorry this took so long dunno whats up with me lately) This got so long I love it :3 also! i love love getting unique asks like these! Super appreciate any and every ask I receive :3 don't be shy <3

Masterlist.

Queen Nia x GN!Reader.

Queen Nia is known as a delinquent by the Board of Chiefs and staff who are close to her. She likes to bend the rules, she doesn't listen to anyone's orders, and she hates being told otherwise. And what can anyone say? Nia's the queen, and she's been the queen since age 16, she's old enough to realize that what she says, goes. Nia is as stubborn as a mule, and she lets anyone who defies her know that fact well.

But what happens when the stubborn mule is forced to be faced with the truth? When the threat of war looms over her head and the only way she can ease it is by marrying some heir? Well she'd go nuts! Nia is reckless sure, but first of all, she's a queen, and she wants to be known as the best Queen of Xelera ever. Maybe that's why she hires assistants to do work for her and then she would take all the credit. So, Nia steps up, and agrees to the proposal. Marry the king of a faraway land's kid, the heir of their kingdom, let's name it Misal for convenience's sake, all in the hopes of avoiding war. She is smart enough to make it clear and concise. Nia doesn't love them, she never will, and she will openly cheat on this heir with her real spouse, that is you. Nia doesn't bother to get to know her new royal spouse, takes you up as the Queen's most treasured servant, and goes on with her average life. She barely tolerates it when she has to speak with her so-called ''spouse" about whatever responsibilities they expect her to accomplish. Like just send the document over to her assistant! Is it so hard to let Nia live at peace as she hand feeds you exotic fruits.

Over the years of a resentful, heated marriage the two royals are forced to have at least two kids to continue the Royal Bloodwen bloodline. The other kid is for the heir's ridiculous, tainted, nasty bloodline. Nia's hatred for children almost triples when its the kids from her war-preventing marriage. Nia would shower you in gold while her kids can barely speak to her.

Nia is openly and clearly unfaithful, something she's established from the start. Even inviting you to her wedding and spending most of her time with you during said wedding. If Nia's royal spouse dares to anger her in some way she'd banish them off to whatever summer house her father had before his passing. If the king, her spouse's father, dares to impose war on her due to her treatment of his child she will threaten him back saying she'd gladly end his pathetic heir's life and broadcast it for all to see and send out her soldiers pillage his kingdom. Nia becomes smart about this situation. She'd plant spies in Misal. She would tell the Chief of Military to increase training, to spread military propaganda, to spend more money on equipment. All of this is to make sure that Xelera becomes the strongest Military entity in the world. No one can threaten her any longer, she'd keep the little heir under lock and key. Only to use this unintelligent heir as bargaining bait against Misal's king. "Give us more of this or your heir dies." And if Misal tries to call their bluff, a day later a video of said heir, knocked out, a knife barely grazing against their neck, if they woke up it would mean immediate impalement and immediate death.

Safe to say, Nia would be cute to her amazing darling, while an absolute cunt to everyone else around her.

[deadlyanthem]

what's good gang! ares here with canon kd1 (the king 2016), han wonbin. super excited to be here! without further adieu, below the cut you will find info on my kennedy wannabe. hit this post with a like and i'll swing into your dms to plot 📩

look, you should know...

the han's come from a line of noblemen, old money, people with positions of power

his father, for a long as wonbin can remember, has always been for and in the conservative political party. a real stickler for traditional ways, keeping the rich rich and the poor, well, working.

ruled his house in a very cutthroat way; you either wise up or shut the fuck up.

but that was exactly wonbin's problem. the black sheep, the sore thumb, he did everything different. he's a lover, not a fighter. too smart for his own good. listens too keenly. wears two faces. gets under your skin. gets you right where he wants you. his father doesn't trust a man who smiles a lot. wonbin gleams.

this divide between the han patriarch and the youngest son fostered a mean spirit inside wonbin, but don't worry, he keeps it under wraps. no one ever knows what he's truly thinking. he's charismatic, a friend to everyone and enemy to none. your mother would love him.

but only because she doesn't know him. really, he's an entitled, spoilt philanderer with a skewed view of how the world works and how it should work for him. maybe he's not so different from his father after all? but yeah he's known as the peasant king, and yeah, despite being in a right wing political party he feigns interest in the layman's life. but only because he wants to keep them there, where he thinks they belong.

long may you rule when you no one knows your true intentions and at the end of the day, you think they're all beneath you.

the king and all of his...

it's not totally strange for him to get into the king's club. his father and his brothers had been through the same process although it was unbeknownst to him at the time. see, he thought he had something over them, thought that he might have been the better han. he doesn't know yet that he is all of the things his father simultaenously hates about himself and wishes he could be.

he's approached by the queen in 2013, son of a prolific politician and debate team hopeful, he's so full of promise. wonbin quickly manipulates her into vouching for him and helping him in getting the leg up on all of the rituals.

the kid is smart, he's got brains but they're not doing him any good. his weakness was women. his daddy issues meant that he sought validation in the eager eyes and the plush lips of a lover. it's almost like a drug, the way he craves someone to look at him and only him as if he put the stars in the sky. and when he's a chessmaster, he learns the perils of such hunger.

he cheats on his fiance. it's a paltry offence in his grand scheme of things but the fallout is divisive. he'll blame their differences, they were on the out for a long time, it was hardly love

but this is where he differs from his father. ever the lover, never the fighter he takes this set back like a punch to the chin. he tries on humility for size. dare he turn the other cheek.

he champions the underdog, he places them strategically on his chessboard. he coaches them to victory. he makes diamonds out of coal and maybe he loses himself in the process. his father stares at him every time he looks in the mirror and there's something so violent about his smile now.

2024, the ghosts are knocking at your door...

he follows his father's path, hot on his heels. he scrutinises him and all his shortcomings as he builds his own case. president han is a steadfast and vicious leader, his cabinet knows this well. but he is as only smart as tradition limits him and this is where he'll fail, wonbin thinks.

wonbin swears he's going to best him, don't you worry. for now he bides his time, and solidifies his seat at the table. he climbs his way up to deputy minister of health and welfare and soon the policies and laws that he takes part in implementing thrusts him into the public spotlight. with all these eyes on him, he stresses the need to be a man of the people, unlike his dear father. they all trust him, for now. but they do not know of the man behind the mask, they do not know of his greed.

Facts about Spades!

This will be facts about T’s card Spades. Since I already did facts about T. I’ll be doing facts for each Card.

Tw: brief mention of death. Mention of him punching someone. He cheats in freeze tag.

Request: closed

Asks: open

Tag list: @the-lavender-clown @cs-cabin-and-crew

♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎

Spades is the eldest of the group. His age is unconfirmed, but he is definitely older than diamonds who comes from the 1600’s.

He’s missing his left eye due to a fight he had gotten in with one of his younger sisters. He had 13 siblings in total. Spades was the eldest.

Came from a place where it was matron ran. So his mother ran everything with an iron fist. They didn’t get along. All the females in his family were at war for the throne.

His whole family is dead. He may or may not be the reason.

Anyways, T found him after going into his story to check things out. She found him alone just outside his now decaying kingdom. He had been alone for about 20 years at that point.

Became loyal to T after she offered him a position as her first and most powerful card.

All the cards represent the joker card. T holds the ace, kings, and queens. The cards are never allowed to pass those ranks.

Spades was basically raising his younger siblings, his father had been banished by his mother and his step father died after his 3rd sister had been born. And the next stepfather wanted nothing to do with any of the kids the former royal consorts had.

Due to his hands on rearing of his siblings, he became pretty good at taking care of kids. So there has been a few times where he’s taken care of a few of T’s workers kids.

As I said before, I like drama, so he is very much in love with T.

T knows this and uses it to her advantage. Spades knows this and literally does not care. Someone get this man a handbook on healthy relationships.

Has found he really loves sweets (his stepfather always snuck him and his brother’s treats when he could.) but due to T’s preference for savory things over sweet, he pretends he prefers savory as well.

T actually often lets Spades or the other cards dine with her, and she knows of Spades’ sweet tooth, so she always has some desserts on the table. She’s not that mean.

Spades: because I just want you for my own~

T: please leave me the heck alone~

Spades is always bringing flowers, art or other things back from stories T has had him scout.

So far Spades favorite has been Bookmarks. It’s easy for him to blend in so he can easily be hands on, which is his main preference. Staying in the shadows is more of Diamonds’ thing.

Actually really hates most card games. You can explain the rules to him over and over and he will always forget.

He does like board games though, and hide and seek.

He has pretty long hair, and since there are kids that live in the circus with their parents, I can see him letting the kids decorate his hair for shows.

Very old fashioned. Kissing of the hand as a greeting. Bowing when a superior enters. Makes sure he’s wearing the right gloves for the right occasion.

I mentioned he loves sweets, but he’s allergic to chocolate. He was so sad about it too. Was so excited to try a snickers and chocolate really said “let me close this blond’s wind pipe.”

Had two different eye colors until he had his eye removed. His left eye was green, while his right eye is a golden orange kind of color. Kind of amber really.

He’s left handed… most stuff in the circus is made for right handed people. Clubs is also left handed… they fight over the left handed desk daily. Diamond has to break them up regularly. And since Clubs is younger, he often gets it unless Spades actually needs it.

Yep… the 1000 something year old fights over a desk with a 21 year old because he just wants to fight.

After one mission, Spades and Hearts were never allowed to work together again. Now the teams are only Spades and Diamonds, and Hearts with Clubs.

Has in fact argued with a show critic because they called T tacky. Would do it again…. Only this time he isn’t allowed to throw a punch because now they are banned from two towns in Switzerland.

Cheats in freeze tag. The kids hate him for it.

♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎

That’s Spades for you. You’ll probably get Clubs tomorrow. Or Diamonds, we’ll see. Asks are open if you have any questions about him, or the other cards!

Thoughts on Rhaenys and Rhaenyra’s relationship: Rhaenys should hate Rhaenyra

Rhaenyra insulted her and thought she was the exception to the rule. When Rhaenyra and Rhaenys talk in episode 2, Rhaenys widely advises that men will not accept a woman on the throne. Rhaenyra fires back that the lords of the realm did swear loyalty to her and they only didn’t accept Rhaenys before referring to her as “The Queen Who Never Was”. This was incredibly mean-spirited of Rhaenyra because In Fire and Blood when the Great Council took place, Rhaenys was a young woman who had a dragon, was the eldest grandchild of King Jaehaerys, and was married to a Velayron (see the parallels?). Rhaenyra’s insult almost implies that it was Rhaenys’ own fault that she was not chosen as Queen. Of all people, Rhaenys is probably the only person who could know what Rhaenyra was feeling as she was the closest to a female ruler Westeros has ever seen. However, I can forgive Rhaenyra because teenagers say mean and stupid stuff, things likely changed when Rhaenyra got older, right?    

Rhaenyra had three children outside of wedlock while married to Laenor. While I get Laenor was cool with it I can’t imagine his parents were okay with it at least at first. The boys being bastards affects everyone, it makes not only Rhaenyra look bad but also Laenor as well as the Velaryons. It’s not a good look if it’s an open secret that Rhaenyra is cheating on her husband (even if he’s okay with it), especially when the boys look like neither of them. In Fire and Blood, Rhaenys has dark hair which she inherited from her Baratheon mother which Rhaenyra uses as an excuse but even in this case Rhaenys has purple eyes, the boys have brown. The situation also puts Rhaenys in a difficult position because she knows about her son being gay and pushing Rhaenyra under the bus also places a spotlight on his sexuality.  

Rhaenyra married Rhaenys’ son-in-law (her daughter’s husband) immediately after Laena died. There was seemingly no time in between the funeral and their secret wedding in the show but in Fire and Blood Rhaenyra and Daemon get married and have Aegon the 3rd within the year of Laena’s death. It was just disrespectful to Laena’s memory and the Velaryons who are still mourning. Especially if the Velaryons thought about it, they would absolutely figure out that they got together at the funeral.

Rhaenyra was involved with Laenor disappearing. It’s arguably worse in Fire and Blood because it’s believed that he was killed by his lover on Daemon’s orders, though the show took a different approach. Rhaenyra knows he’s still alive and well but his parents don’t. Even if Rhaenyra insists that she did not have him killed like she stated when they talked in the show, she was still involved in faking his death and making his family believe he died brutally. She is still actively lying to Rhaenys and Corlys about Laenor. I doubt Rhaenyra will ever tell her and Rhaenys will likely die never knowing what really happened to her only son.

Rhaenyra takes Baela and Rhaena after her marriage with Daemon. While he is absolutely their father and can take them where he wants as he is their guardian, it is horrifying to imagine it from Rhaenys’ perspective. The woman who was involved with her son’s death and married her daughter’s widow is now raising her granddaughters. If I was Rhaenys I would be fearing for them.

Rhaenyra engaged Baela to Jace and Rhaena to Luke. Rhaenys knows she is doing this to secure Luke’s seat in Driftmark by having him marry Rhaena. And while a case could be made about her reasons for Baela and Jace, Baela is not just any noble lady. She has Valyrian blood and a dragon, Moondancer. Marrying them would give Jace further political power and given the war that was approaching, it would give the Blacks an extra dragon. Additionally, given everything that Rhaenys already suspects about Rhaenyra she could be worried that Rhaenyra might take Baela and Rhaena as political hostages. This has happened before in the ASOIF universe with past kings like Jaehaerys and Maegor. If Rhaenys lets her granddaughters stay with Rhaenyra, she has power over her with the silent threat of what she could do to them if Rhaenys steps out of line.

Like I don't know from Rhaenys' perspective Rhaenyra is a villain in her life, so that's why her decision to join her in the Black faction is very unlike her? Rhaenys is a good character but I don't understand her reasoning for wanting to actively participate in the war of somebody who has caused her so much stress and pain. If anything Rhaenys lost more in the Dance than she could have ever imagined and honestly why? Their relationship will always confuse me lol.

Boomerang | Chapter 34 - Act Two: Summer 2017, Part II

Here's the next chapter of my Childhood friends Avalance AU, you can also read on Ao3

“That’s pretty much it,” Oliver shrugged from his seat next to one of his collections of arrows.

“Ollie, you’ve had a kid for what, eleven years and never knew?” She chuckled. “I’m not sure you can just say, that’s pretty much it. Who’s the mom?”

All three of their eyes looked down, “She passed, on Lian Yu a month ago.” Sara had to hold in a sigh. Why was everyone in Oliver’s life obsessed with that godforsaken island. The only reason she’d go back was if she was forced at gunpoint. “Her name was Samantha Clayton.”

Sara paused as she thought back to the rough time period it would have happened, “Wait, I think I remember her? Stick straight brunette? Pretty tall?”

“Yeah,” He answered.

Sara couldn’t help but roar with laughter, “I can’t believe you hooked up with her and got her pregnant! She seemed so,” Boring? Basic? God, Sara just remembered being completely unimpressed with her. The three stared at her in shock as she kept laughing.

“How are you laughing about this?” Felicity said shortly.

The smile dropped from Sara’s face, “Ollie having a kid he didn’t know about is the least surprising thing about his life.” She gestured around at the whole Arrow cave. “Obviously, her dying and keeping it a secret sucks,” Sara said, “But pregnancy was one of the things I made sure didn’t happen when I was self-destructing.” She shivered. And when birth control hadn’t been available she’d just prayed.

“I wasn’t self-destructing,” Oliver shot back.

“No, you were just a dick with a trust fund.” Sara said.

He rolled his eyes, “I wasn’t a dick.”

Sara shrugged, “You cheated on your girlfriend more times than I have fingers. Including with her own sister.”

“That was you!”

She shrugged, “Well I was self-destructing.”

Dig laughed, “You’re still a dick.”

Oliver opened his mouth and closed it in betrayal, shooting a desperate glance at Felicity who refused to do anything but roll her eyes.

“Remember when you just made me your executive assistant without telling me and had me run the entire company?” Felicity asked.

“Hey!”

Dig chuckled, “Meanwhile, like a normal person I waited three years to date my brother’s ex.”

“Okay,” Sara said, turning to him, “That doesn’t seem normal.”

“Not all of us can flit from person to person,” Felicity said.

Oliver let out a cough that sounded suspiciously like Ray and Barry. Sara chuckled as Felicity swatted his arm.

“I don’t flit from person to person,” Sara defended, “I open their eyes and we both have a good time with no strings attached.” She wasn’t even sure she could make an actual relationship work, not even including the complications of time travel. She’d had two relationships that had lasted longer than a couple weeks and both endings had almost killed her.

“How?” Oliver said, “Aren’t you in a bunch of different time periods? I thought you can’t interact with the past?”

“The Legends aren’t sticklers for the rules, and we have to do recon, that leads to meeting people,” Sara said, “But let’s see, there was Lindsay from 1958. And Chastity, a wonderful girl stuck with the Puritans, hope she’s doing alright. Almost got me hanged but it was worth it. Oh and Queen Guinevere and the Queen of France.”

“Guinevere?”

“The Queen of France?”

“Okay,” Felicity said, “First off, Guinevere isn’t real.

“You could say she’s a legend,” Sara smirked as the rest groaned.

“Which Queen?” Felicity ignored her.

“Anne,” Sara smirked. “I got her all prepared for conceiving the Sun King.”

Dig rubbed his temples, “You’re life is weird. I don’t know which is worse, you or Barry.”

“Come on Dig!”

“Obviously, I like you better,” Dig rolled his eyes.

“Excuse me, I’m still stuck on Queen Guinevere.” Felicity said.

Sara shrugged, “Short version is that Stargirl from the JSA used a fragment of the Spear of Destiny to create Camelot as a way of hiding it from,” She sighed, “The Legion of Doom.”

“Stargirl?”

“JSA? Legion of Doom?”

“Spear of Destiny?”

Sara grinned at them, “Vigilantes have been around forever and, well Jesus’s blood has magical powers. But there’s no need to get into that,” She looked around, “I know you’ve expanded your operation here,” Her eyes flitted to the newer mannequins, “But since I’m stuck in 2017, I was wondering if I could help out. Part time.”

“Part time?” Oliver frowned.

“You’re going to have to explain the Jesus blood thing to me.” Dig said as everyone ignored him.

“That’d be great!” Felicity said and elbowed Oliver in the side.

Sara chuckled, “I still need to find an actual job, and no I’m not working in your office.” She pointed at Oliver threateningly. It was bad enough to bum off her dad, she didn’t need to work under him in a position she was vastly underqualified for. “But my skills are much more suited for this.”

“Sure,” Oliver said, “Just let us know when you can start.”

“How about tonight?”

Her face felt plastic as she exited Sink, Shower, and Stuff, but she couldn’t help but feel the flush of relief at having a real, paying job. The manager was a dick, she already knew that she’d spend too long daydreaming snapping his neck, but she would be earning money again. Minimum wage felt like a victory.

At least she could stop bumming off her parents.

Mostly.

Her dad had insisted that she could stay with him as long as she wanted, and Sara had accepted knowing that she wouldn’t qualify for an apartment, let alone have the money for probably a year. If not longer.

Living with him wasn’t bad, half the time he cooked dinner, he left her the crosswords on the paper newspaper he still got, and she had her own bedroom and bathroom. His hours were mostly regular, and he didn’t bat an eye at her going off at odd times. He’d even put together an extensive medical kit in her bathroom, which so far, Sara had only had to use once.

But, she was almost thirty and living with her dad. With, as that one movie Laurel used to love, no prospects. Or one prospect, she supposed. Now she got to stock shelves and fold towels.

Nate had spread her number to the other Legends, and a petty part of her was happy that Ray hadn’t had much success in getting funding for his miniaturization tech. He’d been in Silicon Valley doing who the fuck knows, and Sara was disappointed that he hadn’t stuck around Star City. But besides him, the Legends were settling into “civilian” life without problem. Stein seemed happier than he’d ever been with his family, Jax was going back to school, Nate and Amaya were almost gross with their relationship, and Mick was finally making his way to Aruba.

It seemed like she was the only one that couldn’t figure it out.

Hopefully, Sara thought, after her first paycheck, she could take her dad to dinner. Okay, maybe after her second paycheck. She still needed to pay him back for the phone, the train ticket, something for all the food and utilities she’d used, probably some rent. So, it might have to wait until the third paycheck.

“You didn’t have to come,” Sara said to a dubious Felicity.

“Yeah, like I was going to let you stalk a top secret government agency alone.” Felicity scoffed.

“It’s run by Rip,” The name tasted sour in Sara’s mouth, “It’s not like they’d ship me off to prison.”

“You don’t know that.” Felicity said quickly, her eyes flitting from Sara to the nondescript building they were parked across the street from. Sara wasn’t positive, but she had a feeling Felicity was regretting agreeing to find a secret government agency.

She watched the building carefully. It looked like any other office building in Star City, but she trusted Felicity, and Felicity’s skills to uncover things that people didn’t want found.

This was the office of Rip’s Time Bureau.

Or one of them anyway.

“So what’s your plan here?” Felicity finally asked. “I can call Oliver-”

“No, I’m not leading a heist.” She didn’t even know if the Waverider was here, but even if it was, what would she do, run away by herself trying to figure out how to find and solve anachronisms? “I’m just trying to get some information.”

“Why?”

Sara didn’t have an answer. She wasn’t sure that she could explain it to herself.

“It would be stupid to break in.” Sara said, “I’m just casing it, you know, if I ever do have to break in.”

“Are you sure this Rip guy wouldn’t just let you in? Aren’t you friends?”

Sara considered it for a moment. “He’d be too suspicious.”

Felicity sighed beside her, “What’s the plan?”

Sara smirked at her, “We are here around five.”

“So?”

“Felicity,” Sara grinned and waggled her eyebrows, “It’s a Friday.”

Felicity stared at her, “No.”

Sara shrugged, “I’ve slept with people on more dubious terms.”

“Ick,” Felicity said. 

Sara rolled her eyes, “It’s not like they’re gonna think I want to marry them. We’ll have a nice time and I’ll get some information that they,” She shrugged, “Might not realize they’re giving me. There’s a bar two blocks from here. We’re just going to confirm that some of the people go there,” Sara said, “And I’ll take care of the rest.”

“I feel like I should stop you.”

Sara stared at her.

“I’m not, this just feels, I don’t know, gross? Wrong? Questionable, but then I guess you were an assassin, and,” Felicity took a breath, “There’s a group leaving now.”

They were all wearing the same ugly navy suit and Sara watched as they headed towards the bar she’d staked out earlier. “Do they have a uniform?” Sara muttered, and had Felicity start the car once they’d crossed the street.

Sure enough, they were heading towards the bar. It was trendy, with those stupid light bulbs and stainless steel metal tables and chairs that were extremely uncomfortable. Sara wished it could have been a little more divey, but if this was where the Time Bureau men preferred, well, she didn’t have a choice.

“Alright, you coming?” Sara asked once Felicity had swung into a parking spot.

“Only for a little bit.” Felicity muttered.

“I was hoping you’d say that.”

The bar was slowly filling up when they entered, mostly with people getting a drink after work as a way to welcome the weekend. The Time Bureau lackeys were a bit harder to spot, their navy suits blending in with some of the others, but Sara saw that a group of five were gathered in one of the corners, identical pins with an hourglass on their lapels.

Felicity started to walk towards them and Sara grabbed her arm, “Not yet.” She muttered.

“I just want to get this over with.” Felicity mumbled.

“You can leave at any time,” Sara said as she guided them towards the bar.

“What if they’re ax murderers?”

“We’re literally vigilantes.” Sara rolled her eyes as she ordered a whiskey for herself while Felicity got a vodka martini.

“What?” Felicity asked.

“When did you become a vodka martini person?” Sara asked once the drinks were placed in front of them.

“I need something in my hands,” Felicity said, “And occupying my mouth.”

Sara snorted as she took a sip of her own drink.

“Not like that,” Felicity grumbled.

Sara turned around and surveyed the bar, eyes lingering on some of the other groups before she made eye contact with one of the Time Bureau men. He was decently handsome, with short brown hair and a smile out of a Sears catalog. Boring and safe, which would be perfect.

She raised an eyebrow at him and took another sip from her drink before she turned back to Felicity.

“How do you do that?” Felicity asked.

“What?”

“Just be so smooth like that. You just look around and have half the bar dying to talk to you. And you didn’t even do anything!”

“Well, I do have extensive training on how to get a target’s attention. Especially to get them alone.” Sara said, “I also know I’m hot.”

“See, I’m not-”

Sara put her finger to Felicity’s lips, “Don’t finish that sentence Felicity. You’re very hot.” She grinned as Felicity’s cheeks flushed red.

“You had some really, really, good training, like scarily good, like I might,” Felicity shook her head. “I’m in a relationship.” Felicity finished.

Sara laughed, “How are you and Ollie?”

“It’s weird,” Felicity sighed, “He wants to be a good father for William, but William is admittedly pissed off about the whole situation. Which he has a right to be, but he’s eleven.” Felicity sighed, “And I can’t figure out if Oliver really wants me to get to know him?” Felicity shrugged, “Maybe? He wants to ease William into everything, but it's just so confusing of where my boundaries are supposed to be. Because Oliver doesn’t seem to know and William, is well,” She sighed.

“Yeah,” Sara said. “Wish Tommy was around.”

“Tommy?”

“You know, since his mom died when he was a kid too. He was younger though.” Sara hadn’t known him yet, had just met Tommy when he was all grins and the occasional flash of anger when his dad was mentioned. Laurel had warned her to not say anything about his mom and threatened to tell their parents about where the old crystal bowl actually went if she did.

“Right,” Felicity said.

“And the new team?”

“They’re hardly new,” Felicity scoffed. “You’re just not around enough.” She bumped their shoulders together. 

“Well, I’ll be around a lot more now.” Sara sighed, “So I’ll actually get to know them, I guess.” She’d met everyone but Dinah so far, and they seemed, nice? She hadn’t really worked with them, letting them back up Oliver when they were available, while she’d patrol on her own, with Dig, or just Felicity on tech.

“You sound thrilled.” Felicity said and laughed. She finished her drink and then looked behind Sara. “The one you were looking at keeps looking over here.”

“Excellent,” Sara nursed her own drink. “You can go home,” Sara nodded, “I have it handled from here.”

“Are you sure?”

Sara nodded, “And hey, I have you on speed dial now.”

“Okay, and no one calls it speed dial anymore.” Felicity grabbed her coat and put down some cash for their drinks. 

“You don’t have-”

“Sara, you have a minimum wage job. I can buy us some drinks. I need to do more fun things with friends that don’t involve people getting shot with arrows. It’s a thank you for bringing me somewhere where there's no punching.”

“Okay.” Sara sighed and then waved as she walked out the door.

Sara finished her own drink and placed the empty glass to the right of her.

“Can I get you a drink?” A voice behind her said. Sara turned around and grinned when she saw it was the man she’d been eyeing earlier.

“That would be great,” Sara said.

Craig (and Sara wasn’t completely over the fact that she’d slept with a dude named Craig) had been, well, technically, satisfying. He’d lacked creativity, but hadn’t made her regret all of her life choices. He’d been smart enough to not say anything too incriminating about his top secret job, and to tell just enough that if she didn’t know better she’d be impressed.

He also slept like the dead.

It had been easy in the morning to go through his wallet until she found his official Time Bureau badge and hide it in her dad’s gun safe. Luckily, her father was out of town for the weekend doing something political in Central City because she wasn’t sure he’d been okay with this.

She slipped back into bed, kicking him slightly until he woke up.

“Hey,” He grinned at her, voice groggy and Sara smiled back.

“Hey.” She looked at him and debated for a moment, and then slipped out of bed, “I actually have somewhere I need to be.”

“Oh,” He blinked a couple times, “Yeah, no problem, I’ll get out of your hair.”

“Oh really,” She fluttered her eyelashes as he pulled up his pants. “Thank you.”

“Can I leave you with my number?” He asked.

“Of course,” Sara said and dutifully pretended to type the number into her phone. “I’ll text you later.”

“Great.” He smiled.

She ushered him through the living room and the front door, letting him leave her with a kiss on her cheek. She opened the safe back up, and kissed the card emblazoned with the Time Bureau emblem.

She had done it.

i think the minister of spring has a twin, i noticed it because it was only briefly but the minister of spring appeared briefly in "The Secret Of The Wings" i thought in "The Lost Treasure" it was the minister of spring in grey hair but then it was odd that dude has blue eyes while the minister of spring has green eyes so my guess is they're twins (i didn't noticed it right away but someone mentioned something about the minister of spring possibly having a twin, i took a closer look at it and that person is right)

as for Queen Clarion, some people think she's a Light Fairy because of her clothes colour, the others think she's a Dust-Keeper Fairy but your opinion could be unpopular because i never stumbled into that theory but you could be right because in the first movie she appeared out of nowhere (possibly "The Secret Of The Wings" too because she didn't appeared untill Tinkerbell almost completely lost her temper on Lord Milori infront of her friends and Periwinkle and answered to Tink it wasn't Lord Milori's rule but from Queen Clarion herself) maybe she WAS a storyteller fairy before she became a Queen who knows? you could be right with either ways, she's either a Dust-Keeper or a Storyteller Fairy

speaking of Queen Clarion: we have good news there's a book coming by next year which focus on her and Lord Milori with a possibly history on these 2 so maybe we get the answer with these 2

i have a feeling everybody used to be a normal fairy (or well i wouldn't call it normal but more like no leader of their own guilds, no minister, no kings or queens kinda that way)

Dewey could be a Storyteller Fairy too but he prefers to call himself the Keeper but there are books which is written by Dewey (he wrote the book when Tinkerbell arrived at the winter library or whatever those are called Periwinkle appeared there too and it was mentioned at the end of the movie towards the nerdy fairy who's all into books)

Chloe is like a Garden Fairy version of Fawn, all energetic, all into dirt, think things on the bright side and she didn't mind with the competitions so that might explains why she and Rosetta worked together as a team in "The Pixie Hollow Games" short

Zarina's an Alchemist Fairy, no one else have that talent and yes i agree Zarina might be a contender for the Dust talent Fairies or something like the Keeper

as for Queen Clarion, you're right, she makes the rules, she announce things, she makes sure everything goes according to plan or rather tries to, Glimmer could a better fit to be the next Queen, she's stricter and it was seen towards Rumble when he was cheating during the final race, Glimmer knew it wasn't fair to let the Storm Fairies win, Garden fairies played it fairly, she's more serious than Queen Clarion (even Queen Clarion herself agreed the Garden Fairies played fairly)

you could also be right with your last point about the Dust-Keeper Fairies and the Tinker Fairies

as for Tinkerbell and Vidia it's like they're alike yet the exact opposite from each other in a way, each have their own strengths and flaws and they're good leaders in different ways, Vidia is said to be a rare fairy from the Fast-Flyer guilds and Tinkerbell is a rare fairy from the Tinker Fairies (Tinkerbell is kind of like a leader from the group and Vidia is second in command as it's mainly seen in "The Great Fairy Rescue" but she also took a bit of the role as a leader in "The Pirate Fairy" as a temporary Tinker Fairy) so they both could be a good leader in their own ways

Periwinkle could be the leader from the winter fairies guilds because she told Dewey the pixie dust tree is in the top priority but they should try to save the other seasons of pixie hollow when the pixie dust tree was in trouble during the freeze (just a thought)

and it's off topic but aren't these 2 alike in a way? same faces and hairstyle just different skintones, hair colours and eye colours

and there's a winter fairy who looks a lot like Clank (it's seen in the pixie preview short with the snowball fight the winter fairy dude looks a lot like Clank, Clank himself wasn't seen with that pixie preview short though)

So I'm re-watching the Tinkerbell movies, and I noticed the Minister of Spring from the first 2 movies acting as a conductor for the fairy theater in the second movie.

(I'm not familiar with any of the actual fairy lore, just the movies.)

So my theory is that all those head fairies started off as normal fairies and then got promoted.

I don't know if they're theater fairies or art fairies but the Minister of Spring clearly started off as that kind of fairy.

My theory for Queen Clarion is that she started off as a theater fairy as well because she uses pixie dust to make her entrance like how the theater fairy tells her story in the 2nd movie (lol her dramatic entrances are coz she's a theatre kid. Could also be why she and Milori had a forbidden romance lol). Either that or she was a dust-talent fairy because she has a special connection with pixie dust.

Fairy Mary and Fairy Gary are next in hierarchy, of their respective guilds.

In the future, we might have seen the following fairies be promoted to heads of their respective guilds, or something else entirely, like The Keeper in the Winter Wood

Tinkerbell and Vidia because they possess more raw talent than the average fairy

Chloe from Pixie Hollow Games because she had the most spirit and got the garden fairies out of their rut. But we can't discount the fact that the garden faries were going through failures year after year, while this was Chloe's first ever. Maybe all the garden fairies were excited in their first year

Zarina might be a contender for the dust talent fairies or something like The Keeper

For the next Queen Clarion, since her post is more of a managerial thing, we're looking for someone who possesses soft skills and also would enjoy a managerial post

I suggest Glimmer from Pixie Hollow Games, because she valued ethics and made the hard decision of losing over winning dishonestly, and she also saved Rumble's face by not exposing him in front of Queen Clarion or any of the other fairies in the audience

Glimmer might be the next Queen Clarion because she was honest, and she motivated Rumble even though he didn't motivate her back, and at the end that wasn't what made her snap, it was his dishonest tactic where she drew the line

Like how in MLP:FiM there wasn't a princess for the Earth ponies, Unicorns etc, you were promoted based on abstract concepts like friendship and love.

Like how The Keeper of All Fairy Knowledge exists, we cannot discount abstract concepts as a means for a "promotion". So maybe Fairy Mary & Tinkerbell, and Fairy Gary & Terence & Zarina, can be promoted at the same time despite being in the same guilds.

(haven't re-watched Neverbeast yet)

Tagging @sailorplanet1997 because idk who else from my mutuals are Tinkerbell fans ✨

[faiseuse-d-histoires]

Alright, I've slipped. After a long time without being here, I've watched house of the dragon when I thought I wouldn't. I got caught again. Shame. And anger comes again. It may come as caricatural, but I need to vent.

It just makes GoT even worse! For me, it talks of a system repeating oneself, and patting itself in the back for preventing change and opening of views.

What is worse? Supposed immorality (morality being defined by a misogynist society) or hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness? Because that's what the fight between Rhaenyra and Alicent seems to be. Rhaenyra, who's trying to make her own way to be happy and prepare to rule in that society, and Alicent, who conforms, is embittered by that role she has to play, and can't bear to think anyone can choose to do differently. Rhaenyra who talks of intervening to settle quarrels between clans (the part during the council), and Alicent who says "well, let the liege lord settle it on his own, that's not our problem". Rhaenyra, who tries to compromise, and Alicent, who grits her teeth and seethes.

What would have been better? For Rhaenyra and Laenor to force themselves over and over for the sake of an heir? For Rhaenyra (or Laenor, for that matter) to just "lay back and think of England"? For them to be miserable just like Alicent, so she could feel sympathy for them? That's petty, and as absurd as when some said Sansa deserved to be queen because she suffered so and has always acted like a proper lady.

Alicent is an extremist. That's a fact. For her, it is either black or white, either bad or good. She lives in fear, drowns in it. Rhaenyra did not tell her about Criston? She goes full hate, mistrust and fear, and full green. Rhaenyra has children with a man that is not her husband? She makes sneaky comments, and if she is too prude to say the word "whore", her words mean the same, which is all the more ridiculous.

She can't bear Rhaenyra's life, it's literally nagging her, to the point of demanding to see her children just as soon as they are born.

I think then because it means "her sacrifice" was for nothing. She never said no, never tried. She complied, like what was expected of her. Just as her father wished. But instead of resenting the father who pushed her into the king's bed, the fault is "the other woman" who "does as she wishes and spoils it all." There comes the terrible lack of awareness. And now, she is pushing her own children, praising the fact that they are "true-born", as opposed to Rhaenyra's "bastards".

Yet, what is the most important thing? Birth or quality? We see Aegon and Aemond lie, act arrogantly, not even being solidary with one another. Aemond attacks Baela and Rhaena just because they were angry that he took their mother's dragon, then proceeded when Rhaenerys' sons came to insult them, threaten them with mention of Harwin Strong, and prepare a rock to fulfill that threat. Luke and Jake, though there is less focus, are shown trying to bring comfort, then defending their cousins. They are not perfect, even partaking in a joke with Aegon, and then with Baela and Rhaena beating up Aemond. But at least there is a bit of nuance, feelings.

(Lets be clear. Aemond should never have lost an eye. But he shouldn't have acted as he did as well. )

The children are the mirrors of their mothers, that's part of why they can't get along. It is all amplified for them.

Alicent is a victim, but the true tragedy is that she ends up defending the system that made her a victim. She's literally decorating that system with pretty words like honor, decency and justice, when in fact it is narrow-mindedness, misogyny and revenge (even petty ones). A system where only the men are allowed to choose and aren't blamed if they cheat, rape, or other things.

It just seems terrible to me that people who declare to stan Alicent for "her common sense and decency" praise her and hails her, when it is shown her own way will never make her happy, even if her enemies are gone, and she brings division, not unity. She will always be eating her nails in that way. Seems to me she's more the illustration of why that system is terrible for women, and there is a dire need for change.

Streamer Eddie sick with a cold, he usually is the one with the better immune system than steve, but people can tell he’s sick because he sounds different than when he’s dealing with allergies

Y’all know me too well… I’m a simp for sick Eddie 🥺

****

Eddie sat sideways in his streaming chair, legs dangling off the armrest. He was lounging today in sweatpants and an oversized Guns N Roses tee, phone in hand.

“I posted on Instagram the other day for you to send me your confessions and snFF let me say, some of you are heathens.”

The man scrolled through his phone. “I’m keeping all these anonymous. This person says they crushed up some flowers and fed it to their neighbor… what the hell.” He laughed.

“You accidentally cheated on your boyfriend with… with your cousin????? DUDE! How do you not know thahhh that H’ikt’CHEW! Isshiew! H’ngt’chiew!”

Bless you!

Are you sick?

Wtf man, your cousin??

“I’m snf fine guys. Just allergies or something…”

“Or something” 🤨

“This next person says they snfff hit a girl in the face with a dodgeball when they were kids. And the girl wears glasses now!”

Eddie laughed again, “You guys, these are so bad. I’m going to hell for laughing at them.”

He scrolled some more, “Asked my neighbor when she was due and she isn’t effing pregnant.”

Eddie’s jaw dropped and he looked at the camera. “Come on dude, that’s like the golden rule. You never ask that! Sheesh.”

He shook his head and kept scrolling, rubbing pretty aggressively at his nose.

“Eht’SCHIEW!” He sniffed thickly, “Fuck, sorry. Something mbust really be getti’g to mbe.”

Are you sure you’re not sick??

Those sound like his sick sneezes, idk

The long haired man reached over and muted himself while he turned away and blew his nose. When he turned around, he squinted at the chat.

“What do you mean ‘those sound like sick sneezes’??” Eddie rolled his eyes and kept scrolling. “I accidentally killed my friends hamster when I was watching it, so I just replaced it with a very similar hamster.”

They sound different. Your sneezes. The allergy ones are more….idk fittish

WAS THE HAMSTER THING PREMEDITATED??

Your sick sneezes sound like. Wetter??? TMI I know

Not you switching out hamster corpses wtf

“Wetter? You guys are weird. I’m not sick. It’s probably just- H’ikt’sssch! Tssch’IEW! HRZ’schiEW! Fuck…”

He had pulled his shirt collar over his nose, grimacing at the slight dampness to it. “Damn you guys and your observant behavior. ‘Wetter’ my ass.” He grabbed some more tissues to wipe his nose.

Didn’t Steve have a cold last week?

^^^^

Case cracked boys, time to go home.

Eddie rolled his eyes at the screen, laughing, “You guys are so dumb.”

Just then, the door opened and Steve walked in, wearing plaid pajama pants and one of Eddie’s old tees. “Hey can I join? I want to hear peoples deepest darkest secrets.”

“Always!” Eddie pulled up a chair for Steve to join. “Ha! This one says they snuck a live frog into their prom and released it on the king and queen.”

“That’s so funny oh my g-”

“H’aesshEW! Hikt’schEW! Hxxt’CHEW! … Jesus Christ!”

“You okay Eds? You sound like you’re getting a cold.”

Eddie turned and looked directly into the camera, already knowing the chat was going to give him shit.

“Alright, stream over.”

corrupted — s.b

Pairing: Sirius Black x Reader, James Potter x Reader

Summary: Perfect hair, perfect life, perfect boyfriend. Everything seemed perfect for Y/N. Until Sirius Black came.

Setting: 21st century

Warnings: cheating, smut, female reader, mentions of drugs, angst, tiny bit of fluff if you squint, creampie, mentions of catholicity, reader is actually an ass, james being cheated on and being completely oblivious to it

words: 5k.

A/N: this is my first time publishing something this big but I really enjoyed writing it, I hope you guys like it. it’s basically high school drama but make it marauders and make it smutty. yeah i just wrote riverdale’s script lol. anyway, i wanna say i’m sorry for language and cultural errors cause this is supposed to be happening in england but i don’t know how they do high school there, english is not even my native language so go easy on me. also im no catholic anymore so if there are anything offensive here please let me know. i just realised most of england is not catholic so this really is a mess.

this is inspired by the song ‘scotty doesn’t know’ by lustra and the movie ‘scott pilgrim vs the world’. link to the music will be at specific the scene.

His arm is around her waist and both lips are curled up in big smiles. His brown eyes shine at her direction and she laughs, one hand placed against his chest. They look too good to be true, like ceramic figures. And around them, everyone contemplates the power couple in their natural habitat: the schools cafeteria. Their little nobility members make a circle around the couple, but they're only pawns. The king and queen stand with invisible crowns on their heads, ruling the entire school. But, truly, they were happy and in love.

James Potter was no douche. He was a childhood friend of Y/N's, since their parents were friends as well. Things just, sort of, fell into the right place. He was captain of the soccer team and she was the president of the student council. Both amazing students, adored by the professors and the principal. They were everything they were expected to be, children of the wealthiest families of England: perfect. She loved his pure heart and his kindness. He loved her loyalty and her intelligence.

As everybody watched, they kissed. Briefly, no tongue, because after all she was meant to save her purity. He respected that, even admired. So their love demonstrations were usually smiles, hugs and gifts. They were okay with it. School was just their little theatre. The less they showed, the more people wanted them to show.

When the bell rings, they separate and go to different classes. She gossips with her friends about those girls who won't save themselves for marriage. He jokes with his friends about the rival team. The class is over, and before they can meet for their quick chat before James goes to practice, the principal calls her on the speaker, asking for her presence in the office. This wasn't unusual, Y/N had meetings with Mr. Anderson almost daily. She greets his secretary, that tells her to wait in the antechamber. She does so, sitting in the green velvet chair and looking over the window, which has a great view of the soccer field. A few minutes go by and finally Mr. Anderson opens the dark wooden door and tells her to come in. Inside the office, a couple and a student sit in the chairs in front of the principals table. Y/N approaches them, whispering a 'good evening' before recognising Mr. and Mrs. Black, good friends of her family, and their not so friendly son, Sirius Black. She didn't know much about him, he kept it low profile. But by looking at his badly put uniform and sharp features, he didn't seem to care.

"This is Miss L/N, she's the top student of our school, you might have seen her before in our events." The principal begins, and she smiles at the adults. "She surely is the perfect fit to help Sirius get back on his tracks, I believe so."

Confused, she asks:

"I'm sorry Mr. Anderson, I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about."

"The Black family needs your help tutoring Sirius, Miss L/N. He's been... off their expectations, and that needs to be corrected quickly. Of course, extra credit will be given if you succeed. Is that okay?"

Y/N looks at the couple, seeing the hope in their eyes. Then, she looks at Sirius. He looks like a hard work.

"Sure, I'll help him."

It's Sunday afternoon and Y/N just left church. James dropped her off at the Black mansion.

"Call me and I'll pick you up, ok? Love you." He said before leaving.

The butler opens the door. Apparently, only Sirius and the maids are home. She is guided up to his room and knocks on his door. A horrific sound is playing inside: screams and guitars. Metal, probably. When he opens it, he's shirtless and black wearing sweatpants. His dark hair falls over his shoulders, over his chest. The room behind him is messy, the walls are filled with posters of bands and naked women and the floor is filled with graffiti and drink cans. He somehow managed to mutilate the classic bed frame, making it look like it has been through several battles. She looks away, putting her hands in front of her eyes.

"Could you get dressed, please?" He snorts and closes the door. When he's out again, he's wearing a black band shirt with a skull on fire in it. Bizarre. They walk to the house's library and sit on one table. It's a quiet place. A little bit too dark for her taste, her library was filled with chandeliers but this one barely had one. Thankfully, some sunlights came through the window to enlighten the room. She puts her books on top of the wood and sits on a chair.

"Before we start, we should talk a little bit about our working habits-"

"Let me cut you right there. Look, I'm really not interested in your tutoring. I'm only here because my parents are real mad at me. I will not collaborate with this. So, instead of wasting our times, lets get straight to the point. I need to get my grades up. You will help me by doing my assignments. You'll get your extra credit and we won't have to interact. How's that?"

"What? No! I... I won't help you, then. If you don't want to help yourself, then no one will."

"I thought you might say that. Well, then I guess you'll have to tell anyone you failed. Great Y/N couldn't teach me. Your prayers didn't work. You're not so good anymore. It's a shame, really."

She stops. It really wouldn't look good for her.

"At least do the assignments with me. I mean, if we never meet each other, you're parents will know. Perhaps you'll even learn something."

He ponders.

"Alright. Every Sunday then." She nods.

They kept their agreement. Every Sunday James would drop Y/N at the Black's to meet Sirius. The first three sessions were challenging. He really didn't want to help. But, thankfully, she managed to get around him perfectly and by the second month, he was doing almost everything by himself. Sirius Black was intriguing. He never talked about himself. He was a complete mystery. Not to mention he was... bad. All the sinful habits he had. But he was also beautiful. His dark curls framed his face like a portrait. His gray-ish feline eyes were so penetrating Y/N felt like fainting when they pierced her neck. That wasn't uncommon. Her neck, her shoulders, her chest, her legs, even her lips — he glanced at them all. Frequently. She never addressed it because, well, she did it too. Sunday after Sunday the look when he opened the door shirtless lasted longer. She stared at his muscular legs when he wore shorts. She would never confess it, obviously, but she did. And then there were the hand touches. Accidental, most of them. She enjoyed his warmth next to her. She began to crave it. To want more.

James noticed when she turned touchy. Unusual, of course, but he didn't mind. He didn't actually care for purity. How could he? He was a boy, after all. Their kisses lasted longer. No tongue, still, because she wasn't sure how to do so. She would sit on his lap in the cafeteria, hands tangled up his hair. Delicate, however. Nothing too scandalous.

Seeing Sirius in school was confusing. He would smirk at Y/N, and she would greet him with a quick hand gesture. He would also silently laugh at James, but Potter gladly didn't notice.

Last Sunday before winter break, all assignments were finished. As they were saying goodbye to each other, the boy asked:

"Do you wanna, like, do something?"

She gave him a nervous laugh, "Um, like what?"

"You've never done graffiti before, have you?"

She shakes her head.

"Alright, I know a place. But you'll need to get changed."

He handed her one of his black sweatshirts and pulled her by the hand. In the back of the house there was a hidden garage with a mini van in it. It was white and had doodles all around it. They got in and drove to a place far from where L/N used to go. He parked at a dark alley and grabbed a bag.

"Hey, you two!" A manly voice sounds from behind them, and a soft light is in their direction.

Sirius pulls Y/N by the hand, who drops the can to the floor and quickly start running. The boy guides her through multiple aisles, going in a zigzag direction until the footsteps no longer follow them. They go over a tunnel and stop close to some woods. She has a hard time running that fast and when they finally stop L/N feels a burn in her lungs and her blood is circulating way too fast. It feels incredible.

"Oh my god!" She laughs, putting her hair behind her ears. "I can't believe we just did that, it was such a rush!"

Sirius nods, smiling as he wipes the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He glances at her, still euphorically laughing with a bit of red paint on her cheek. She looks amazing. Alive.

"Can we do it again? I-" She looks at him, furrowing her eyebrows and biting her lower lip. He waits. Finally, she whispers, "I think I wanna kiss you."

There's a pause, in which only the cicadas are heard. What even made her say that? Adrenaline, obviously. Or perhaps the smell of the toxins in the paint. She feels stupid.

"You think?"

"No, I-... I do want to kiss you."

He tries to contain a smirk and she holds her breath. Before she can turn around and run away, he takes her in by placing a hand on the side of her neck, just under her ear. Their lips meet and it's... different. It's not calm and sweet as it used to be with James. It's warm, desperate and even a little bit violent. She puts both hands on his chest and they slowly travel to his collarbones and neck, just as his' stop at her waist and pull their hips together. Their tongues meet and it's unexpectedly incredible. Y/N can't get enough of it.

They quickly get out of breath and separate a bit, their faces less than a inch apart. When she tries to get back to it, he stops her.

"We should probably go somewhere safe, you know."

She ignores the accelerated heartbeat inside her and agrees. They head back to the mini van.

Her skin is on fire, but he still puts his hands under her sweatshirt and trace them up, until the piece of clothing goes over her head. He's on top of her, black curls pending in the air. He stares at her lace bra for a moment, before attacking her neck with soft bites. She sighs and unconsciously moves her hips against him. Her mind is filled with lust, not letting any space left for her thoughts. He giggles, quickly taking off his own shirt. In a moment, they're both in only underwear, skin on skin. Without further ado, his right hand sits on her core, over the panty. He proudly feels it drenched and makes sure to keep eye contact as he presses it lightly. She suspires as he circles her sensible clitoris, enjoying the electric waves going through her body. Sirius puts the cloth to the side and explores the outside of her entry with his middle finger. She nods at him, consenting. Slowly, he penetrates her. She groans at the pain, forcing her eyes shut. Tears accumulate in the sides. When she recomposes with a deep breath, he takes his finger out and penetrates her again. And again. And again. Until she's used to the feeling, desiring it. He wishes to play with her for longer, but the throbbing sensation under his stomach was starting to hurt. So he takes out his already hard cock, lubrificating it with the wetness pooled on the tip. Quickly glancing at her breasts and messy hair, he can't hold no longer. He enters her with a groan and start a pace. Her legs curl around his waist. Her loud moans are muffled by his lips, that also often let a moan out. The erotic sounds made by their bodies meeting excite her even more, making her orgasm start to build up. She begs for him to go faster, harder, deeper. She screams his name and swear words in a sense she doesn't even understand. At this point, she has no control over what's leaving her mouth. It finally comes, the wave of pleasure that completely washes out her senses. It leaves her numb, legs shaking and dark circles in her vision. The clenching around him it's too much, so Sirius tries to pull out so he can finally release. He is stopped by her legs, that firmly hold him at the same place.

"Inside, please..." She asks and the effect is immediate. He fills her with his cum and she loves the dripping sensation afterwards. She loves the feeling of him inside of her and misses it the moment he's out. He falls on top of her, heavy breathing — both of them. Something clicks inside her brain, like the first time you hit weed, and just like that she's addicted to him.

They meet several times during the break. Y/N tells James she's going shopping. He trusts her. He loves her. Surprisingly, she loves him too. She does not love Sirius. It's only physical. She didn't care for what he had to say. She wanted his body. It's not immoral, after all, that was what he wanted too. He never explicitly said that but kept it going even though he knew she was dating James. There was an unspoken agreement to don't tell anyone about their relationship.

Anyways, winter break was over and they had to go back to reality. They would sneak out to an abandoned classroom during lunch time, and she would laugh a little harder every time at his jokes. He would stare at her eyes, not her body, for longer. They would play with each other's hands while they talked, tangling their fingers.

"I wish we could do this anywhere," Sirius once mumbled. Y/N giggled in response, as her cheeks heated a bit.

Sirius turned out more talkative, trying to get along with some of her friends. He flirted with all of them, of course, but his eyes weren't shining the way they did when he looked at L/N. He started getting riskier. Touching her shoulder to ask for a pen in class, James on her side. Keeping the pen so she would have to meet with him. Using extra perfume so the scent would stick with her. Potter was simply oblivious to not notice it.

On his birthday, James rented a club and invited uncountable people to a massive party. Free entry, free drinks, free everything. Y/N was the perfect accessory for the night, full face makeup in a sparkly tight dress. He bought it himself. She thought using purity to decline it was too hypocritical of her, considering she was getting railed every Sunday. Three hours into the party, he barely talked to her. He was drinking with his friends and didn't want to dance with her.

"I need to go to the loo," She whispered on his ear, leaving before he could respond.

She squeezes herself across the crowd, casually stepping on some girls toes. She grabs her phone and writes a text.

'where are you? i'm bored.'

'just got to the parking lot, doll', Sirius answers.

'don't come in, i'll meet you there.'

Y/N takes a while to recognise his actual car, not his van, in the ocean of vehicles. She gets on the passengers seat, sighting.

"It's that bad?" He asks.

"Ugh, shut up." She takes his mouth quickly, throwing her legs to the drivers seat and getting on top of him.

They do it once, twice, three times before both are too tired to keep on.

"Okay, that's it. What's going on?" It was the ending of April, the spring’s warmth blocked by the windows in James's bedroom. He sits beside Y/N on the bed, while she raises an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. You've been acting all weird lately. You never want to come close to me or touch me anymore. Hell, you barely even look at me." The answer is clear in her mind. Anything she wants to do she does it with Sirius. But the hurt present in his voice makes her say something else. She still loved him.

"I don't know, I just- I guess I've been anxious about college and stuff. I'm sorry, truly." He nods in understanding.

“I also thought you might’ve been bugged by Lily, you know, since she’s been all over me lately.” He says in a lower tone, making Y/N furrow her eyebrows. She hadn’t even noticed that. Her best friend actually did that? “I made it clear to her that wasn’t interested, just so you know. No need to be insecure over that, hm?”

“Yeah, actually it really made me uncomfortable.” Exactly what he wanted to hear, for sure. “I was trying to ignore it but… it freaks me out. Knowing there’s so much option for you out there. A bunch of beautiful girls juts waiting to grab a piece of you.” She continued, suggestively glancing at him.

He pouts, actual tears forming in his eyes. He sights and hugs tightly his girlfriend.

“Princess, there’s no need to worry. I love you and you only. The others? They don’t matter to me. I want you.”

Wow. Y/N screwed up big time. How could’ve she cheat on the most caring and adorable boy ever? And with a stray dog? A junkie. That wasn’t her. She was the golden girl. The pride of her family. Pure, innocent and, well, perfect. Sirius had done that to her. Sirius Black made her sin. He corrupted her. Like the snake in Eden. Now Eve is fated to wilderness, in forever suffering. No. She bit the forbidden fruit but there’s still time to undo it. She will redeem herself. Love and worship James, be devoted to him.

When he softly kisses her, she can feel the salty tears wet her cheek. She quickly makes the kiss more sensual, freeing casual sighs that might come. Potter is skeptical at first and lets her lead him. He trusts her. L/N gets on top of him, separating to take his shirt off. When she tries to go back, he stops her.

“Are you sure you want to?” James asks, and his worry is genuine. He knows how much purity was important to her. How much it was supposed to be. She nods.

“Yes. I want you, forever. I’m ready.” He smiles and kisses her again. In a moment, he’s on top of her while she lays on the soft bed. And when she thinks he’s about to take his trousers off, he heads south.

The sex is good. James is not quite as experienced as Sirius, she can’t help but compare, but he certainly is experienced. Differently from Black, he praised her. Wanted her to have a good time too. He enjoyed preliminaries, teasing and going slow. She found out she enjoyed it too. She didn’t feel filthy or used. It felt right.

James, of course, thinks he just won the lottery. He’d gotten himself a virgin that fucked like a porn star. Poor boy. When they finish, he doesn’t fall asleep. He tells her to go clean up, asks if she’s hurt in any way, if she wants something. She asks for water and goes to take a bath. Nice and clean, they sleep together. She lays on his chest as he caresses her back with his thumb. She’s back in heaven. There’s no snake, no apple. Only Adam and Eve.

The morning after, she feels bad about how she has treated James. She wants to change. But it seams that the more she tried to block it, the more the sin came back to her mind. She was mad at herself for giving in so easily. For not have fought for her purity. She can’t talk to her friends, they would judge her and tell everyone. Her parents also wouldn’t understand. She has no one.

“How long has it been since you last confessed?” The priest’s voice sounds in the cabin.

“Five months, Father.” She whispers, shamed.

“Confess your sins, child.” It took four words to make her throat close. Her hands are shaking as she shifts her knees on the wood, gasping for air.

“I was corrupted by lust and greed. I gave away my purity, my virginity, to a boy I don’t love, who’s not the one I’m promised to. I did it multiple times and I have not yet told my boyfriend. But I love him, I want to be his wife, to be devoted to him. I want to make up for my sins, Father. I don’t want to be a sinner.”

There is a pause. Not even a breathing is heard. Y/N sniffles to hold back a tear. Then a tsk sound is made.

“Child, we are all sinners. What differ us from those who’ll end in hell is our will to change. To be better. To make better choices. Nothing is lost. God loves all of his creations, so he gave us the freedom to do as we want. You’ve wanted to sin. Now you want to redeem yourself. God is merciful.”

His words build up the strength she needed to move the mountains in her way.

“Thank you, Father.”

“As your penance, you shall say five Hail Mary’s. And I welcome you to say an act of contrition as well.”

She takes a big breath, recomposing herself, and does so. She leaves the confessional, feeling light as a feather.

Sirius approaches her at school, with a smirk on his face.

“Good morning, cupcake. Gotta tell you something.” He says, leaning against her neighbour locker and holding her chin with his right hand. She slams her own, after getting her needed books for the day.

“What are you doing?” She takes his hand off her. “We’re in public.”

“There’s barely anyone in the hallway, pup.”

“Barely isn’t enough. And don’t call me that.” She stars walking away from him.

“You sure did wake up a little bitter today, huh?” He follows her. She groans. They’re passing by a brooms closet. She pushes him inside it and closes the door.

“Um… Okay. Freaky.” He puts a hand on her waist, leaning in.

“Shut up! We need to talk.” She takes his hand off her, again.

“Yeah, right! Remember how I told you about the band I was in? We’re about to put on a huge gig and I wanted you to-“

“I’m ending this.” Y/N cuts him.

“What?” His expression is still the same smile he had on while talking.

“This.” She gestures the space between them. “Us. Whatever this is. It can’t keep on going.” His smile slowly fades away, being replaced by a concerned facade.

“Why…?”

“Because I’m in love with James, and this was a mistake, Sirius.”

“You’ve been banging another guy for what, four months, and now you decide you’re in love with you boyfriend? What the hell is that?”

“It shouldn’t concern you, it doesn’t matter. Let’s just move on and forget it happened.”

“Well but it fucking does!” He spits, his figure growing in front of her, the angle of her neck feeling larger than usual. “It matters to me, okay? Hell, I- fuck it, I fell in love with you! And now you tell me you wanna be with that bonkers? Fuck this!”

The girl was stunned. Frightened. She didn’t expect that reaction.

“Don’t say that about him.” She whispers.

“Oh that’s the part that got your attention? You wanna know what? James Tiny-Weeny Potter is a fucking waker, that’s what he is.”

“What is wrong with you?” A hard slap explodes on the side of his cheek. Her next words come as a scream. “It’s not him, it’s you! You are the problem, Sirius Black! You’re just such a blighter you can’t be good for me, or for anyone!”

His face is contorted in such upset expression it makes her wonder if she’s gotten too far. No one speaks for a minute. The boy bites the inside part of his lower lip and looks away.

“Fine.” His tone is hurt, clearly. “Have a good happily ever after.”

He storms out of the small room, raven locks leaving behind his scent. That would be the last time Y/N would feel it. She blinked a couple times, got her hair ready, reared up and left the room with a big —fake— smile.

The following weeks were great. She was getting back to her reality, spending more time with her friends. James was so drunkenly in love he would gift her multiple times in a week, with high fashion items — mostly bags and shoes, because he knew how much she loved a good Chanel. They took their usual spot in the cafeteria, but a couple of things changed. Since her ‘first time’, he’d gotten more touchy. She sat on his lap and he forgot about everything else. He made his life purpose to look her deeply in the eyes and repeatedly tell her how much he loved her. Over and over, until their friends got diabetes from how sweet it was.

No one noticed Sirius Black watching it from afar, as his days got more and more blue — or red, if you may. Most of the days he wouldn’t even go to school, because it was impossible to wake up at 7am when you spent your night doing drugs and the closest human being. Fortunately, as one has said before, artists are those who turn suffering into art, and some time later he focused on his band and songwriting. But, still, it was hard to watch the only girl that ever mattered to him slowly drift away.

The weeks went by and prom was getting dangerously close. And, of course, Y/N already had her outfit ready. She grew anxious with so many tasks from the student council. All the things she’d have to say. Make a great speak, they said, you’ll be the voice of this year’s class. Good thing the party itself wasn’t her responsibility. So many applications she had to send, too. All late, due to the time she wasted on Black. That goddamn name kept coming back to her head, like a ghost trying to haunt her. And his face, his lips, his hair, his body. It was all too much. To top all of that, there were rumours of James wanting to propose. No, those weren’t reliable. Lily said to Y/N that Marlene told her that Alice heard Peter tell Dorcas that told… Probably false. Right? She believed so, because any other thing for her to worry about would make her explode.

Prom finally comes and Y/N wants to kiss whoever planned it. It’s wonderful. Red Carpet themed, all students must be taken pictures by the paparazzi — school’s newspaper photographers — before entering the wide hall. A stage is in one wall, currently with a DJ running the music. There are disco globes hanging on the ceiling that reflect the lights forming tiny rainbows across the room. It truly makes her feel like a celebrity. She poses several times with James, in a green dress which’s tone matches perfectly her skin tone. Golden jewellery make her shine in the crowd. She dances all night long, until there’s a change in the stage.

They took the DJ’s table away and put up some instruments. The night is almost over so everyone is excited to discover what’s going on. A blond boy enters the stage, sitting by the drums. Y/N recognises him as Remus Lupin, they used to have classes together in sophomore year. She barely knows anything about him, but his hair is messy and he has some smudged eyeliner on him. He wears ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. Then, a ginger boy comes in, black jeans and a leather jacket. Must be a Weasley, she thinks. He stands close to the bass and ends up grabbing it. The crowd is growing, so James and Y/N hold their hands so they don’t loose themselves. Sirius Black steps into the stage and she gets out of breath. Black vinil pants. Shirtless. Carrying a red guitar. The snake tattoo she adored on his half-exposed crotch. He stands to the microphone. Turns it on and a loud pinch goes around the room.

“One, two” He tests it. When it works, he smiles. That damn smirk. “Hello everyone, we are Sex Bob-Omb and we hope you’re having a great fucking night!” The crowd screams. “Our first song goes to a very nice pal, whose name is… well, you’ll know it soon.”

Lupin’s drumsticks tap three times and the bass starts the music.

James doesn’t know that Y/N and me

Do it in my van every Sunday

James looks at his girlfriend, so does everyone in the room, mouth agape. She stares at the singer, unbelieved.

She tells him she's in church but she doesn't go

Still she's on her knees and James doesn't know

The instrumental goes on and Potter tries to escape the scene.

“Jamie, wait!” She screams after him, but the music is too loud. The crowd is going crazy. Half dancing, half laughing. The brunet leaves her eyesight and she turns to the stage, middle finger up. “FUCK YOU!” She screams, leaving to find her boyfriend somewhere.

Author note: Thessaly is a canon character in the sandman universe she an immortal witch and former lover of Morpheus from the comics

Every female protagonist when she is literally in a love triangle relationship with an edge lord/brooding mystery bad boy love interest and a sweet guy love interest.

Female protagonist chooses Edge lord love interest all the time ;)

Exhibit A for Markiplier TV

Darkiplier x reincarnated!Y/n x Markiplier

Y/n could go with a sweet, loving and manipulative boyfriend Mark and go on adventures with him.

Or

Y/n can go with the brooding, emo, edge lord Darkiplier himself who actually gives a damn about her and her well-being :)

Who do you think she is going to choose?

*Y/n deciding*

Y/n: let’s see…Mark is sweet, loving but also manipulative and wants to go on adventures in different timelines and he fuck Dark over along with my friends.

*Y/n looks at Dark and immediately blushes nervously*

Y/n: On the other hand…Dark is very brooding, Edgy, bad boy but deep down really cares about me and my well-being more than Mark ever could.

Y/n: he’s also more handsome than Mark…and didn’t screw wilford over and my other friends. And…he um…

*Y/n just red as a tomato staring at Dark for a long time*

Y/n:…He’s quite a romantic even if he doesn’t show it and a great dancer! He also is cares a lot about me!

*Dark looks at Y/n with adoration while she nervously smiles at him with a red face*

Y/n: 👀👀👀

*Y/n jumps in Dark’s arms*

Y/n: take me home please!

*Mark is shock Y/n chooses Dark over Him while the viewers knew Darkiplier x Y/n was endgame*

Exhibit B for The Sandman

We’re going to use a made up Sweet normal mortal man as a love interest for Witch! Y/n since I can’t think of any canon character for her lol

( I won’t use Hob because all tumblr wants to do is have a three way with Morpheus, y/n and hob)

Morpheus x Witch! Y/n x Henry

Witch! Y/n is a capable woman to take care of herself, make her choices in life and even lovers.

She is a lovely and caring young woman who capture both hearts of the endless and Henry a young mortal man who she could have a normal life with.

Now, Witch! Y/n could have a normal life for a change with Henry who is very charming, sweet and soft.

He can take care of her as a husband and father to her children she would give birth to in this normal family scenario.

She could spend the rest of her mortal days being in love with a mortal man who cherish her ( hopefully not cheat) and have a family in the suburb.

A loving husband, three children, a lovely home and a normal life with no evil or monsters to fight and grow old with her lover.

Or

Witch! Y/n could take the high road, take a chance, a leap of faith, destiny and a risk to be with Morpheus of the endless.

Morpheus, Dream of the endless, ruler of the dreaming realm. A king to rule his subjects and protect the dreaming and waking realm.

Morpheus was brooding, edge lord, a lone-wolf and mainly touch starved after all he was trapped for decades by a mage.

An endless that would make her feel alive, make her heart beat fast, make her desires and dreams come true more than she could imagine.

It’s not an easy life Y/n would have but it would exciting and thrilling!

Y/n heart would beat fast more than she could ever known, make her blush red and see stars and hearts everywhere.

Morpheus had many failed lovers ( mainly his fault) but he would like to change that.

Morpheus adores Y/n, cherish her, he would love her more than Henry ever could for he was just a mortal man who truthfully wouldn’t last long with Y/n.

Morpheus would make Y/n’s dreams, desires and needs come true, she be a Queen of the Dreaming realm and love her for eternity.

While Witch! Y/n cares for Henry, she also adores Morpheus and wonders what would it really be with Morpheus an endless being.

She has never been with someone like Morpheus, he wasn’t a man and it could be good…bad or it could actually be thrilling and worth her while.

Would Y/n really be different from Nada…or even Thessaly?

Could she be worthy of him?

Could she be loving wife towards Morpheus better and understanding?

Could she be better?

If she were to have children with Morpheus could they still be happy and be a loving family?

As Y/n ponder on these thoughts she felt a pale hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Morpheus.

She tilt her head back and looked into his star eyes as he gave her a small smile of adoration.

Y/n couldn’t help but smile back at him and held his hand gently and squeezing it lovingly.

Maybe…just maybe this could work, she could be with him for eternity, be his wife, mother of his children and love sick.

Y/n knew both of men were madly in love with her but she had to choose between a charming mortal man and an endless who adored her more than anything.

Y/n had already made her choice…

*Witch! Y/n thoughts*

Witch! Y/n: Henry is a very charming a sweet man, could be a great husband and father to our children and I could have a normal life…that would be nice.

Witch! Y/n: But…Morpheus could offer me so much more, he could be a great husband, I could be a good wife to him and queen of his realm and on top of that he can make my dreams and desires come true literally.

Witch! Y/n: he could make me feel alive…and he is actually the man…the endless I truly love and that’s better than any normal life.

Witch! Y/n: besides…there no such thing as a normal life especially with me involve.

*Witch! Y/n chooses Morpheus*

Morpheus holds both of Y/n’s hands and kisses them as he looks deeply in her eyes and she smiles as her face turns red.

Morpheus: Y/n…my beloved I shall cherish you for all eternity, love you with my very being, you have no idea how much I adore you my dear…if you wish it I will make your desires and dreams come true if you’ll have me of course…

Witch! Y/n: Oh Morpheus….of course I’ll have you. But am I truly worthy of you?

She says as she looks down in doubt.

Morpheus looks at her with a confused look, he wonders why would she ask such a silly thing?

Morpheus: of course, you are darling why ask such a buzzard question? Do you doubt worth?…

Y/n looks at him with glossy eyes as tears fall, “It’s just….I….I” she struggles the words as she breathes in.

Witch! Y/n: Am I truly worthy of your love? Am I worthy of you more than Nada….or Thessaly? Will we last…will you not get bored of me?

Morpheus is shock about her doubts.

Morpheus: Of course, you are worthy of me my love my past has nothing to do with us for you are not them and they are not you.

He says as he lifts her chin up and she looks at him, Y/n smiles through the tears as Morpheus wipes her face.

Morpheus: Don’t cry my dear…these negative thoughts don’t deserve your tears.

She giggles as she leans in and kisses Morpheus which he returns back with a passionate kiss.

Y/n had chosen Morpheus over Henry, over a normal life and she knew she want meant to be with the endless as he did too.

He was delighted she had chosen him, he finally had his Queen in his arms and she had her King in her arms…
