genre: smau

PROFILES 2 - haechan & friends

- Haechan, a lively and charismatic college student, is used to getting along with everyone. Known for his quick wit and playful personality, he’s a social butterfly who never struggles to make friends. However, there’s one person who makes him nervous in a way he’s never felt before—Y/N, the younger sister of his best friend, Mark Lee. As Y/N enters college as an Environmental Science major, Haechan finds himself constantly drawn to her thoughtful nature and quiet confidence. Even though he's been close with Mark for years, Haechan has always seen Y/N as off-limits—both out of respect for his friendship with Mark and his own fear of ruining things. But as he spends more time around her, his crush begins to grow, becoming harder to hide. Caught between his loyalty to Mark and his growing feelings for Y/N, Haechan finds himself navigating a complicated situation. He’s torn between keeping his emotions under wraps or taking a risk that could change his friendship—and possibly his future. As Y/N remains oblivious to his feelings, Haechan has to decide whether to take a chance on love or keep his secret buried.

- Mark Lee is Y/N’s laid-back older brother, known for his calm and easygoing demeanor that instantly puts people at ease. He’s the type of guy who seems to handle everything effortlessly, whether it’s his studies, his friendships, or the constant attention he gets from girls who are always swooning over him. Majoring in Music, Mark is incredibly talented, with a natural gift for songwriting and performing, making him a standout on campus. Despite his popularity, Mark is humble and down-to-earth, never letting the attention get to his head. He’s protective of Y/N, always looking out for her while giving her the space to grow on her own. Mark’s chill, no-drama personality makes him the kind of friend everyone wants, and he has a loyal circle around him, including Haechan, one of his closest friends. With his charming smile and laid-back vibe, Mark effortlessly balances being both the cool guy on campus and the supportive older brother.

- Renjun is one of Haechan’s closest friends, though he’s quite the opposite of his outgoing personality. Renjun is quiet, introspective, and a little shy, preferring to observe rather than take the spotlight. His love for nature and art makes him a thoughtful soul, with a deep appreciation for the beauty in the world around him. Whether he’s sketching in his notebook or taking long walks to clear his mind, Renjun finds solace in the calmness of nature. He’s majoring in a field that aligns with his passions, and he shares an Environmental Science class with Y/N. Though he tends to keep to himself in class, Renjun admires Y/N's dedication to environmental issues and often finds himself quietly supporting her ideas during discussions. While he’s reserved, Renjun has a kind heart, and once people get to know him, they see the depth of his creativity and compassion. His friendship with Haechan is an interesting balance while Haechan is the life of the party, Renjun is the calming presence who keeps things grounded.

- Jeno has been one of Haechan’s best friends since grade school, and the two share a long history filled with inside jokes and a close bond that has only grown stronger over time. Jeno is known for his easygoing and reliable nature, always there for his friends whenever they need him. He has a quiet confidence that makes him approachable, and while he’s not one to seek attention, his warm personality naturally draws people in. Majoring in Photography, Jeno has a keen eye for detail and loves capturing the world through his lens. His passion for photography is personal, especially since his relationship with Jaemin, his boyfriend, has become his favorite subject. Jeno often takes photos of Jaemin, finding beauty and inspiration in the small, everyday moments they share. Their relationship is full of warmth and affection, and Jeno’s photography is his way of capturing the love and happiness they have together. Jeno's loyalty and artistic nature make him a deeply valued friend. His dedication to both his art and his relationship with Jaemin shines through in everything he does.

- Jaemin is one of Haechan’s best friends from grade school, known for his stunning, almost ethereal beauty that has quickly gained him a following, especially on social media. His sharp features and captivating smile make him stand out wherever he goes, but despite his popularity, Jaemin is naturally an introvert. Around strangers, he can be quiet and reserved, but when he’s with his close-knit circle Haechan, Jeno, and the rest of their group his true, playful self comes out. His extroverted side shines when he feels comfortable, and his humor and warmth are infectious in the right company. Majoring in Art, Jaemin is deeply passionate about drawing, and his favorite subject is, unsurprisingly, his boyfriend Jeno. He finds endless inspiration in Jeno, often sketching him in candid moments, capturing not just his appearance but the love and connection they share. Jaemin’s art is an extension of his emotions, and his drawings of Jeno hold a special significance, a private expression of their relationship. While he’s often admired for his looks, those close to him know that his real beauty lies in his kindness, creativity, and the way he pours his heart into everything he loves—including Jeno.

- Chenle, one of Haechan's best friends, has a magnetic charm that draws people in effortlessly. Born into wealth, he's a classic nepo baby, but you wouldn't guess it from his friendly, down-to-earth nature. Basketball is his passion, and his admiration for Stephen Curry shows in his precision and dedication on the court. Majoring in athletics, Chenle balances his studies with his love for the game. But beyond his talents, what stands out the most is his playful spirit. He’s always cracking jokes or goofing around, making every moment with him light and fun. His high-pitched laughs are iconic, filling the room with an infectious joy that has everyone smiling and laughing along. With Chenle, there’s never a dull moment he’s the kind of friend who makes life brighter just by being around.

- Jisung, Haechan’s younger best friend who is y/n’s age, is the quiet, thoughtful type. He’s shy, preferring to stay in the background while keeping a watchful eye on those he cares about. Though he may not always be the loudest in the group, he has a nurturing side that makes him the one who checks in on everyone, ensuring they’re alright. It’s his way of making sure he’s okay too by seeing to others' well-being. Majoring in environmental science alongside Renjun, Jisung has a deep connection with nature and a passion for preserving it. His calm, introspective nature blends well with his studies, and his quiet strength makes him someone everyone can rely on.

[itz-pandora]

do you have a list for your swap au and who everyone’s swapped with (and possibly designs)? I’d like to see them so I could quite possibly fanart them🫶

OH OFC ILL PROVIDE EVERYTHING I HAVE!

Shadow and Sonic are swapped with each other! These are their designs.

Shadow is the protagonist, and he's usually reserved and introverted. He wants to help who he can, which is why he fights against Maria.

Sonic's got DNA from Chaos, so he's got a ton of funky attributes to play around with (he is almost only made of water, he has water manipulation abilities, stuff like his tongue & blood is water (glowy tho!), and he can't get injured in a regular way. You can scroll through my Sonic swap AU tag to see thesecon action!) He's a chaotic neutral who's always looking for an adrenaline rush, he tends to lean towards people who could give him that, or people who he has compassion for (like Maria). He still cannot swim LMAO

Rouge and Tails are swapped! I don't have a design for Tails yet though.

Rouge is Shadow's older sister figure and she's the extroverted one of the two (so their dynamic is more like Rouge is Sonic and Shadow is Tails). I haven't gotten everything down for her just yet, but I want to keep her Jewel enjoyment and sass.

Tails works for GUN before briefly working for Maria. He keeps Sonic in check for a while. He's serious and pretty much the opposite of Sonic. Think kinda like Nine!

Silver and Amy are swapped!

Silver is the annoying but sweet younger friend, kinda clingy but everyone would keep him safe. His weapon is a slingshot and he has incredible aim, if you gave this kid an actually dangerous weapon, that'd be scary. Also he's got a great intuition and ppl swear he's clairvoyant (he's not LOL)

Amy comes from the future and has psychokinesis AND a hammer! She has to use her psychokinesis to actually swing her hammer since it's HEAVY. She tries to find joy in her situation, but she's a bit jaded from her time in the future. (She's more confident and upbeat than canon silver tho)

Maria is swapped with Eggman! But He doesn't have a design yet.

Maria was still raised on the ARK, but she was raised there alongside Ivo. She was fascinated with Project Sonic, and she had therapy in the ARK that helped her with her illness, but after her grandfather was killed and the ARK was shut down, she had to live with her illness afflicting her worse than before.

Ivo (Eggman) is actually more swapped with the GUN commander tbh, was raised alongside Maria, and after the raid on the ARK, he ended up blaming the inhabitants of the ARK (making Sonic and forcing him to be there during the raid) and ended up joining GUN as the lead engineer. Him and Maria get a "cousin rivalry" because of it.

Blazd and Knuckles are swapped with each other! (Not 100% on Blaze's design yet tho)

Blaze is the guardian of the Master Emerald, and she uses her claws to fight. She's very skilled and nimble, so she's a difficult opponent. She's a stoic girl with a heart of gold.

Knuckles is the protector of the Sol Emeralds, and he has fire powers (something something he ate the Sol Dimension Iblis something something ♪ the flames of disaster ♪) he's a proud warrior, the struggles to ask for help, since he's used to being strong enough to do everything alone.

Another swap I haven't drawn yet is Cream and Big.

I also don't have ideas for most other things so feel free to suggest anything 💕

[awkward-walking-potato]

How would Kurt and Scott react to an s/o who is the definiton of sunshine aura. Someone very approchable and friendly, very empathetic and creating space where others feel heard and understood. Constantly praising friends and family to give confidence and know how to make anyone happy with their acts of kindness. I feel like these two need this kind of s/o the most

Here are some headcanons for how Kurt and Scott would react to having an S/O with a "sunshine aura":

Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler)

1. From the moment Kurt meets you, he's drawn to your warmth and positivity. Your sunshine aura is like a magnet for his kind heart. He finds himself naturally gravitating toward you, eager to bask in the comfort and joy you radiate.

2. Kurt is in constant awe of how effortlessly you make everyone around you feel seen and valued. He often watches you interact with others, a soft smile on his face as he marvels at how you lift people’s spirits with just a few words or a kind gesture.

3.Your empathy and kindness make Kurt feel incredibly lucky to have you in his life. Whenever he feels down or insecure, your encouraging words and unwavering support help him feel better about himself. He deeply appreciates how you always know exactly what to say to make him feel loved and cherished.

4. Kurt loves to playfully call you his “little sunshine” or “Sonnenschein” in German. He’ll often joke that you could brighten even the darkest corners of the mansion just by walking through them. Your positivity is infectious, and he can't help but be in a good mood when you're around.

5. Inspired by your kindness, Kurt often plans romantic surprises for you. Whether it’s teleporting you to a beautiful, secluded spot for a picnic or writing you sweet, heartfelt notes, he loves finding ways to show you just how much he appreciates your sunshine aura and the happiness you bring into his life.

6. While Kurt adores your empathetic nature, he’s also aware of how much you give to others. He makes it a point to ensure you’re not overextending yourself or neglecting your own needs. He’s always there to remind you that it’s okay to take a break and let others take care of you for a change.

7. Your constant praise and confidence-boosting for others inspire Kurt to be more open and generous with his own compliments. He starts to express his appreciation for his friends and teammates more often, knowing how much it means to them because of how much your words mean to him.

Scott Summers (Cyclops)

1. Scott is immediately impressed by your ability to connect with everyone you meet. As someone who sometimes struggles with opening up, he admires how effortlessly you make others feel comfortable and understood. He sees you as a crucial emotional anchor in the team, someone who balances out the intensity of their missions with genuine care and compassion.

2. Scott often feels the weight of leadership and responsibility, but your presence is a constant source of relief for him. Your sunshine aura helps ground him when he’s stressed or overwhelmed, reminding him that there’s more to life than just duty and responsibility. He finds peace and relaxation in your company, something he doesn’t take for granted.

3. Scott has always been hard on himself, but your consistent praise and belief in his abilities help him see himself in a better light. Your words of encouragement give him the confidence he sometimes lacks, and he often reflects on your affirmations during tough moments, knowing that you see the good in him.

4. While Scott may not always be the most outwardly affectionate, he shows his appreciation for you in more subtle ways. He’ll make sure your favorite snacks are always stocked, leave a cup of coffee on your desk in the morning, or give you a reassuring squeeze of the hand when you’re comforting others, silently letting you know that he admires and loves you for who you are.

5. Scott is very protective of you, especially because of your empathetic nature. He worries about you taking on too much of others' burdens and makes it a point to check in with you regularly. He’ll gently remind you to take care of yourself and is always ready to step in if he feels like you’re giving too much of yourself without receiving enough in return.

6. Scott often thinks about how lucky he is to have you in his life. He’s not the best with words when it comes to expressing his feelings, but he tries to show his gratitude through his actions. Whether it’s spending quiet time together, making sure you know he’s there for you, or supporting your endeavors, Scott makes sure you know how much he values your light in his life.

7. Your positivity and kindness bring out a softer, more playful side of Scott that most people don’t get to see. When you’re alone together, he lets down his guard, sharing laughs and lighter moments that contrast with his usually serious demeanor. Your presence makes him feel comfortable enough to let go of his worries and just enjoy the moment.

story about Alastor from Hazbin Hotel falling slowly in love with (y/n) who is an emplyeee at the Hazbin Hotel and is trying to help Charlie save the sinners

Love in Hell's Heart

Alastor, the infamous Radio Demon, had always been a creature of chaos and darkness. His eerie charisma and insatiable appetite for mayhem made him a feared figure in the underworld. He relished in the chaos that Hell had to offer, finding pleasure in the torment and suffering of lost souls.

But amidst the chaos and cacophony of Hell, there was one person who managed to capture Alastor's attention—a human named (Y/N). She was an employee at the Hazbin Hotel, a place that aimed to rehabilitate sinners and give them a chance at redemption. (Y/N) was different from the other demons; she possessed an innate kindness and an unwavering belief in the potential for goodness in even the most wicked of souls.

Every day, Alastor would tune into his radio show from the confines of his lavish penthouse in Hell. He'd broadcast his sinister melodies, taunting and tormenting the damned. Yet, he couldn't help but listen to (Y/N) when she appeared on the hotel's broadcast, urging sinners to seek redemption and turn away from their evil ways.

(Y/N)'s voice, filled with genuine compassion and understanding, intrigued Alastor. He'd sit in the darkness, entranced by her words, and wonder how someone could be so pure in a place so filled with darkness. It was a puzzle that he couldn't resist trying to solve.

One evening, Alastor decided to pay the Hazbin Hotel a visit. Disguised as a well-dressed gentleman, he entered the bustling lobby, hiding his true identity from the unsuspecting staff. He watched (Y/N) as she moved about, helping sinners with their troubles, offering them a glimmer of hope in the abyss of Hell.

As the days turned into weeks, Alastor continued his visits to the hotel. He'd find excuses to be near (Y/N), striking up conversations with her and trying to understand what made her so different. Her unwavering belief in the possibility of redemption both baffled and intrigued him.

One day, (Y/N) confided in him about her dream—to save as many souls as possible and bring them out of Hell's eternal torment. Alastor, for the first time in his existence, felt a strange sensation stirring within him. It was a feeling he couldn't quite place, but it seemed to radiate from the presence of (Y/N).

As the two spent more time together, Alastor found himself slowly changing. He was no longer content with sowing chaos and reveling in suffering. Instead, he began to see the potential for something more, something better. (Y/N)'s presence was like a beacon of light in his dark world, and he found himself drawn to her in ways he couldn't comprehend.

One night, under the blood-red skies of Hell, Alastor confronted his own inner demons. He realized that he had fallen in love with (Y/N), a human who had shown him a side of himself he never knew existed. It was a love that defied the very nature of Hell itself.

With newfound determination, Alastor decided to use his influence and power to assist (Y/N) and the Hazbin Hotel in their mission to save souls. He'd become an unexpected ally in the fight for redemption, all because of the love that had taken root in the darkest corners of his heart.

Together, (Y/N) and Alastor faced unimaginable challenges, battling against the malevolent forces of Hell to give sinners a chance at salvation. Their love, an anomaly in the fiery depths of Hell, became a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of redemption and change.

In the heart of Hell, amidst the chaos and suffering, a love story unlike any other unfolded—a love that transcended the boundaries of darkness and lit up the path to redemption for those who had once been lost.

Gemini Season Pick-A-Card Spread

As May comes to an end, we have finally reached Gemini season. Being ruled by Mercury, Gemini encourages both spoken and internal truths as well as using our voices for our community. This pick-a-card spread is about what truths you are called to speak during this time and what this season will open for you! Thank you guys for all the love from my first one, and your encouragement means everything.

(Answers are below choices)

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

Pile 1: [Text Transcript]

Cards: 8 of Swords, Queen of Cups, 4 of swords (+ 4 of wands), Queen of Swords (+9 of Swords), The Sun

In this group, Gemini season is here to teach you that you are not stuck or trapped despite what your mind might try to convince you. You can free yourself from whatever is holding you back, even if that is yourself.

A truth you can speak this season is admitting how you truly feel in a calm, steady manner, and you can call on the energy of introspection (getting to the core of your feelings) and understanding yourself more through talking it out with others. This honesty will help with your anxiety, deepen your connection with yourself, and bring you closer to those around you! If you heed this, Gemini season will grant you optimism, peace of mind, and joy.

Manifestation oracle card(s): Practice Gratitude

(Nature) Spirit Guide: Charity “Time out. Take nothing personally. Patience and compassion are needed all around at this time.”

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

PIle 2:

[Text Transcript]

Cards: 7 of cups (+ 4 of wands), 8 of pentacles (+ nine of wands), The Hermit, Page of cups (+10 of pentacles), 10 of cups

If you were drawn to pile 2, Gemini season will teach you to discern and take care with your decisions. Many options are or will be presented to you soon, and while it’s exciting, we must remember that all that glitters isn’t gold.

If you’ve been putting in continuous effort on something, a truth you should speak is admitting if you’re feeling fatigued and overwhelmed or asking for assistance, and an energy you should call on is giving yourself alone time and finding ways to decompress. You can connect with yourself through creative endeavors that may lead you to prosperity and spread a sense of contentment, abundance, and connection in your family life or relationships. Gemini season could open up a time of fulfillment, blessings, and your happily-ever-after. Manifestation oracle card(s): Know you are loved (Higher Self) Spirit Guide: Change “Stay calm. Adapt. Accept change. Things will work out in surprisingly beautiful ways.”

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

Pile 3:

[Text Transcript]

Cards: Ace of Cups (+ Queen of Pentacles), Ace of Pentacles (+ five of Pentacles), 3 of Wands (+ 7 of Pentacles), 3 of Pentacles (+ The Fool), Kings of Swords (+ Temperance)

For our third group, Gemini season is here on two sides: A) a new emotional/romantic beginning that will be stable and grounded, or B) a time of emotional healing and financial stability.

A truth you are being called to express is being open about needing help, whether that’s seeking emotional or financial support from your support system or seeking help from external resources in times of need, and you can draw energy by having patience with yourself and stepping back to see just how far you’ve come even if there’s still work to do. To deepen your connection with yourself and others, you are encouraged to step out of your comfort zone, interact/collaborate with others, and embrace the unknown! If done so, Gemini season can grant you a balance between your mind and heart and a quiet confidence you didn’t know you had in you. Manifestation oracle card(s): Detoxify

(Nature) Spirit Guide: Forgiveness “Live, love, and learn.”

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

PIle 4:

[Text Transcript]

Cards: 4 of pentacles (+ 5 of pentacles), The Moon, 3 of swords (+ Strength), 2 of pentacles (+ 6 of pentacles), The Lovers (+ 4 of swords)

For our final group, Gemini season is here to teach you to not hold on to things so tightly, be that people, our past issues, and especially money out of fear, as it may prevent you from experiencing new opportunities. A truth you are being called to speak is respecting your inner wisdom, intuition, and emotional intelligence. You may be getting messages, dreams, or hunches you’re dismissing, but they’re trying to guide you, and you can call on the energy of your inner strength despite the loss you may experience by releasing control. To deepen your connection to yourself and others, you must find. balance of protecting your heart and trusting others, especially through sharing your “abundance”, be that money, kindness, gratitude, or support. By doing so, your love of self or any new relationship will quell your fear of closeness.

Manifestation oracle card(s): Attend to The Details (Nature) Spirit Guide: Deprivation “Tap into the abundance of the Universe by sharing your heart.”

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

And that's the end of our readings! I hope at least one of these messages resonates and can help you transverse this season more easily! Until next time, meet yourself with love and grace.

GUARDIAN ANGEL

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ ✦ summary: hearing rumors of the fountain of youth and finally finding a heading, nikolai decides to follow the rumors ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ ✦ pairing: nikolai lanstov x gn! siren! reader ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ ✦ warnings: drowing, darkling, a bit of spice ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ ✦ word count: 2k ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ ✦ author note: inspired by this and sorry for not posting in a while I was on vacation

masterlist.

"Are we sure that compass even works?" Asked Tamar swaying from side to side due to the heavy rain and storm they were passing through. "It points to what the holder wants most. I think the instructions are pretty clear," Nikolai's attention only being on the compass. It's arrow spinning from one direction to another.

"You are going to crash the ship," yelled Mal as he fell down sliding to the other end of the ship. "Don't worry we're almost there," and then he let go of the wheel entirely. Tolya grabbed it but as if they'd entered another dimension. The storm was nowhere in site and not that far away, an island.

"See, I was right," as he said that the ship hit something causing him to fall overboard. He tried to swim up but the waves kept crashing in on him. He could hear people yelling for him and orders being thrown around. They turned incoherent as he sunk deeper.

He felt two hands taking hold of his arms as he was lifted out of the water in seconds. Once he managed to open his eyes, he was miles from the ship. He wanted to turn and see his saviour. "Don't strain your body too much, just relax your safe," he heard the most angelic voice say.

In a blink of an eye his feet met the sand. He coughed up what felt like half the ocean. When he turned to thank his saviour they were nowhere to be seen. Had he imagined it? Then he saw it, his ship being attacked by sire

But he could not help his crew. If he even attempted to swim to them, he would be instantly attacked. His gun was wet, so it was useless, and what could he do with a sword. All he could do was watch and hope they make it.

Most of the crew was alright. No deaths but they had to dry dock the ship, as going in the row boats would have been a death wish. Now, they had to find the chalices. "Captain," Tamar handed him a spyglass. Looking through it he saw Second Army flags. The Darkling was here or his grisha were.

"How did they get here before us?" Alina asked bewildered. "It doesn't matter we just need to get the chalices before them," he really should have better timing. "Hand over the map," the Darkling appeared, along with his forces. "There's no map," Nikolai replied, confidence radiating off of him in waves.

Then one by one his grisha disappeared until he was the only one left standing. "You and what army," Kirigan looks behind himself. Worry coating his face but then he smirked. "I don't need an army," as he raised his hands the sand beneath his feet disappeared. He dropped down into the newly formed puddle like it was a slide.

"Well, that happened," all anyone could do was nod along to Mal's statement. As they continued on following the compass, it seemed to lead them in circles. "I think your magic compass stopped working," Alina gave him a sympathetic look. "We have more company. Tamar reported seeing Fjerdan and Shu ships," great just what they needed.

"We still need the two chalices. Let me give that map a try," Mal took the map from Nikolai. The map was written in a language no one could understand. It wasn't in Fjerdan, Kerch, Ravkan, Shu, Zemeni, Suli, or even Old Ravkan. But now that they were actually on the island, they could at least recognise the landmarks drawn. Mal's tracking skill would finally come in handy.

After spending hours walking, they've decided to make camp and rest for a bit. They couldn't let the Fjerdans or the Shu be the first to discover the secret to the fountain. As Nikolai was starting to close his eyes, he heard a splash of water near him. He looked to where he assumed the sound came from and was met with the most beautiful pair of eyes.

Was this the person that saved him? He couldn't be sure. He slowly moved towards the person, worried that any sudden movement might scare them away. "I am not some kind of rabid animal," that voice, his guardian angel. "Your friends are on the west side," you could mean the Fjerdans or the Shu.

"They're not our friends," you sent him a sceptical look. He suddenly remembered why they were on this island in the first place. "You wouldn't know where someone could leave two chalices around here, would you?" At this point Nikolai was fully laying down in the mud that surrounded the pot of water.

His face inches away from it. "Hypothetically, I would know where something like that could be hidden." He smiled and then asked. "Hypothetically, could you show me?" You disappeared, only to emerge a few seconds later. Slowly moving closer to him as he had done only minutes ago.

What you did next was a surprise but not an unwelcome one. You kissed him. It was slow at first, as if giving him the chance to pull away if he so wishes. Instead he placed his palm on the back of your head. Pulling you as close as he can and uped the ferocity of the kiss. You placed your fingers at the bottom of his chin.

Putting slight pressure on it, due to this he opened his mouth. You quickly slipped your tongue in. He felt something foreign enter his system. You quickly pulled away and submerged yourself, only the top part of your face could be seen. Watched him swallow whatever you had just given him. I really hope I don't die from this.

You made a motion with your hand for him to enter the water. Waited for him, as he took off his jacket and shoes. His feet were searching for the bottom of the pond or whatever it was. He felt a hand grab his foot and pull him into the water. "You're taking too long," he realised he could breathe underwater. You gently grabbed his waist and he placed his arm around your neck.

He finally saw your tail. You were a siren. He was so gonna die but why had you saved him and why were you helping him now. He had too many questions. None of which he could ask. As soon as he had entered the water he was out of it. In Front of him was a ship, but none of the text in any language he knew. It did match the art on the map.

"Thank you," you nodded with a smile on your face. He walked closer to the ship. It was suspended in mid air. Wedged in between two huge pieces of stone. How could he get up there?

He finally entered the ship with your help and a lot of trial and error. Each step on the deck was taken with extreme consideration as one wrong move could send the ship falling. Even if the ship seemed to have been here for years with the plants that have taken over the deck. Nikolai didn't want to take any chances.

As he descended down to the lower levels of the ship, he was greeted with copious amount of dust and rot....and gold? But he had little care for it. Maybe after they find the fountain of youth, he could bring some of that gold back to Ravka. One room in the ship was clearly meant for dining. The table comfortably fit nine people.

The seats were filled with skeletons. The stench of the rotten food and empty glasses of wine could signify that these people were poisoned. The ship without a crew was probably left to roam the sea and had met its journey's end. Crashing into the rocks. Or maybe all of them have been stabbed, who knows.

The chalices were nowhere to be found. He went searching different rooms until he reached the captain's quarters. In the middle of the room the captain was sitting a skeleton like the rest of the crew but on the bed next to him a chest. Nikolai made his way to the bed as he did the ship swinged and then the voices came.

He wasn't alone anymore but he recognised one of them as Zoya. He needed to work faster. He got to the chest but it was locked. Nikolai could hear the voices getting closer. The key was laying on the chain around the captain's neck. Unlocking the chest and...nothing, just some documents. Where could the chalises be? He looked in the drawers, desk and finally under the bed.

There was another chest, this one without a lock in it, the chalices inside. Then the door burst open. "Hand them over," before he could think or even form a plan the ship was falling. When he awoke he was tied up, next to him, Zoya. The flags were the first thing he'd recognised, Shu. The second one, that they were tied to a tree. "Finally, the sleeping beauty's awake," one of the guards said.

Whatever they'd done to Zoya, she'd seen better days. Cuts were littering her face and bruises were starting to form. "The others," he'd simply asked. "Probably dead." The guards had left their posts to fetch their superior. In the corner of his eye, Nikolai could see something being thrown next to his feet. A knife, he quickly picked it up and placed it near his hands. Cutting himself and Zoya lose.

"We need to plan our next steps carefully since we don't have our weapons," just as he said that his and what he assumes is Zoya's sword were thrown out of the water. If she had found the ordeal weird, she didn't mention it, just grabbed her sword. "This way, I saw them place the rest of the weapons there."

They managed to escape the camp unseen. "I will let you go but the next time we meet, you won't be given the same courtesy," with that she disappeared in the forest.

The chalices weren't with the weapons. The Shu must have taken them. Then out of nowhere Tamar, Alina, Mal and Tolya come charging past Nikolai. Tamar carrying one chalice while Mal carries the other. "Sturmhond," Alina says just realising he was even there. "Run," yells Tamar as she grabs him.

Then he sees it, the Darkling and his volcra. His feet do the rest as he joins the group running. Hoping to lose him in the woods. "What happened?"

"What happened? Where were you? You left and didn't even tell anyone," Alina retorts.

"I got a lead to where the chalices might be."

"But WE found the chalices."

"And WE are going to lose them if you two don't shut it," Toyla interrupted, silencing them both as they hid. Once they saw the Darkling walk pass. They slowly walk in the other direction. "Where did you find them?"

"Near the entrance to some caves but that was nowhere close to where it had been marked on the map," Mal said in disbelief.

"Let me guess there was a river or some pond close by," Nikolai asked. Mal nodded. "But how could you know, it wasn't marked on the map." Nikolai shrugged. You must have taken them and brought them to his crew. "Now, we just need to find the entrance to the fountain," water splashed nearby. "Give me one moment," he said to the rest of them as he took the map and walked towards the water.

Tamar and Alina followed him. He kneeled down. "Yes," he asked, looking at the water. You slowly lifted your head and swam to where he was kneeling. He held up the map. Mal and Toyla joined the rest. Alina lifted her palms up as Toyla readied his weapon. "You are here and the entrance is here," now they could see the scales coating your arms, along with the tail.

All of them were thinking the same. You're a siren and you're helping them.

How can one miss someone who was never theirs to begin with?

Perhaps you played yourself, allowing a delusional desire to take root, hoping against all odds that he could be yours. Lost in a dense fog of denial, you knew deep down that this kind of love was never meant for you—that it wasn't directed your way.

Ever since you and your adoptive family arrived in Awa'atlu for uturu, you have all been in the spotlight, but some receive more attention than others. Sadly, the attention you crave the most is effortlessly bestowed upon your sister. His oceanic eyes gaze at her with the intensity you wish he would reserve for you, overflowing with adoration and admiration. It feels almost criminal to witness someone being worshipped so deeply, while she remains completely oblivious to his love.

How can you ever find the words to tell him that every night, as you lay beneath the sky's embrace, peering through the cracks in the mauri, your thoughts are consumed by him? With each star you count, you offer silent prayers, hoping that a shooting star from the tales of old tawtute will streak across the heavens, allowing you to make a wish, fully aware that it will revolve around him.

He was the sun that illuminated your days when they felt impossibly dim just by a smile sent your way, and you were the moon, forever drawn to his orbit, seeking a place in his world. The farther he seemed, the closer you yearned to be, until the yearning became insatiable. You craved his warmth, his light, wanting nothing more than to bask in his radiance. Your existence revolved around him, and with every passing day, the desire to bridge the gap grew stronger. Closer and closer you wanted to get, until the closeness became enough, until only your love for him was enough.

You're unsure how you came to love him so deeply, and it pains you to part ways even briefly. Eywa herself knows the internal struggle you endure when you watch him fade into the distance, vanishing without another word, with your concealed emotions left unspoken.

He was kind, supportive, and courageous—a formidable warrior among the people, a remarkable friend within your youthful circle, and a well-suited potential partner. You wish you could rid yourself of your feelings for him, much like the way he yearns for your sister, but his qualities are impossible to overlook.

Your heart tightens each time you witness him trailing behind her, wearing the most beautiful and genuine smile, calling out her name in gleeful laughter, "Kiri! Where are you headed?" as he dutifully follows her, unaware of the effect it has on you. He would likely follow her to the ends of the earth, and you’ll understand because you’ll do the same.

You often found yourself lost in a tumultuous sea of thoughts, seeking solace by the ocean's edge, far removed from prying eyes. The weight of your emotions became overwhelming, making it agonizingly difficult to confide in someone, fearing their judgment and the damning label of selfishness.

Yet, can it truly be branded as selfish when it's painfully evident that Rotxo yearns to court her, while she remains oblivious or so it seems? What if she truly knows and deliberately keeps him dangling on a string?

Great Mother, your love for your sister burns with an intensity that knows no bounds, but does she truly grasp the power she holds—the power to choose between two hearts held tenderly within her hands? The weight of that choice is immense, leaving you in a state of anguished uncertainty and bittersweet longing.

Then, whether through a twist of destiny or the compassion of Eywa, Rotxo mustered the courage one day to reveal his feelings to Kiri. To your surprise, she was completely unaware of his intentions, blissfully ignorant of his affection towards her. It seemed her attention was focused on another, a fellow female Na'vi within the village. How Rotxo missed that detail remained a mystery, but he wasn't the only one caught off guard. The news reached your ears when Kiri returned home, her expression filled with solemnity.

At first, you struggle to contain your bubbling excitement. It felt like Rotxo was finally free, and a glimmer of hope sparked within you. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for something between you two. However, as Kiri proceeded to explain his reaction, a wave of guilt crashed over you. You realized that you had unwittingly taken his pain and transformed it into your own joy, and the weight of that realization bore down heavily upon your conscience.

That night, sleep escapes you, and you found yourself restlessly shifting in bed, tormented by thoughts of Rotxo. His once charming smile was replaced with a frown in your mind's eye. It unsettled you to the core, knowing that he was burdened with sorrow while you held onto a glimmer of hope.

Reality struck hard—you understood deep down that there was no possibility for you and him. He had just experienced rejection, and pursuing another romantic endeavor would be the least of his concerns. The gravity of this truth kept you awake, lost in contemplation throughout the night. Eventually, you abandon the pursuit of sleep and ventured to the shoreline, where you wandered along the edge of the ocean, sinking your feet into the soft sand as you sought solace in the rhythm of the waves.

Eventually you reach your usual spot, a quiet place for reflection, you freeze in your tracks. Your expectation of finding it deserted is shattered by the sound of gentle sniffles. Someone else seeks refuge there, their emotions overwhelming them too. A bittersweet warmth fills your heart, realizing that this place offers comfort and solace to others who grapple with their own feelings. Though your initial instinct is to respect their privacy and leave, your intention wavers when you hear his voice—his familiar voice that stops you in your tracks.

His voice trembles with vulnerability, as he opens up about his pain and heartache. The rawness in his words sends a surge of emotions coursing through you. You stand there, hidden from view, listening intently as he pours out his feelings. Every word he utters resonates with your own hidden desires, with the longing you've kept locked away.

An uneasy feeling begins to wash over you, as if you are trespassing on his intimate moment. You recognize that these words were never meant for your ears, that he did not willingly choose to confide in you. Caught in this dilemma, you find yourself torn between respecting his boundaries and offering a comforting presence. Yet, you cannot bear to leave him in such a vulnerable state. So, with cautious steps, you retreat to the entrance and clear your throat, hoping to make your presence known.

His glossy eyes shift in your direction, and the sight tugs at your heartstrings. It stirs within you an overwhelming urge to rush to his side, to wrap him in a warm embrace and assure him that everything will be alright. But you hold yourself back, restraining the impulse. Instead, you offer him a gentle smile, your voice soft and tentative as you speak up, "I'm sorry... I don't mean to intrude, but... are you okay, Rotxo?"

His gaze lingers on you, caught off guard by your sudden presence. He takes a moment to collect himself, his voice trembling as he responds, "Not really." He lowers his gaze to the ground, seemingly lost in his thoughts.

Frowning, you move closer, squatting down beside him on the ground. From this vantage point, you peer at him under your lowered lashes, your heart betraying you by racing at the proximity. You curse the timing of these feelings, fully aware that now is not the moment to indulge in personal desires. Your sole focus remains on providing comfort and support.

"Why are you crying?" you ask, although the reason is painfully obvious. You choose not to spell it out, allowing him the space to share what he wishes.

He presses his lips together, taking a slow, steadying breath before he responds, his voice barely above a whisper, his voice barely above a whisper, his body slumped with sadness.

"Kiri didn't tell you?" he murmurs, his words heavy with a mixture of pain and confusion.

Naturally, she did. She was your sister, bonded by a deep connection whether by blood or not. It was evident that the weight of her own struggles had become too much to bear alone, leading her to confide in you, and for that, you were grateful. But now is not the time to reveal that knowledge.

“No,” you furrow your brows, gulping as you consider you answer, “She didn’t. Should she have?”

Your question hangs in the air, masking the truth that you hold. You tread carefully, protecting your sister's trust while trying to offer him the support he seeks. You wait, holding your breath, aware that his answer will shape the course of this vulnerable moment between the two of you.

Finally, he breaks the stillness, his words faltering as he reveals, "I... I like Kiri..." His eyes shift away, avoiding direct contact.

You offer a subtle nod, acknowledging his admission. "I know," you respond softly, holding more understanding than he realizes.

His ears flick up before lying flat against his head, sinking his face into his hands as he groans in exasperation, "So it was obvious to everyone except her?" His eyes welling up with tears once more.

Your willpower to respect his boundaries crumbles in an instant, overridden by your overwhelming urge to provide comfort. Acting on instinct, you step into his personal space and wrap your arms around him, seeking to offer solace and support. You understand that apologies can come later; right now, all that matters is being there for him, as he has been for others in their moments of sadness.

He tenses at the unexpected contact, momentarily pausing in his sniffling. But then he returns the embrace, holding onto you tightly and burying his head in your shoulder. The wetness of his tears dampens your skin, a physical manifestation of the depth of his need for comfort, perhaps more than he even realizes.

"I'm sorry she didn't see you the way you saw her..." you murmur softly, your hand rubbing his back in a soothing motion, akin to a mother comforting her child. It feels fitting, given the sense of family that he most-likely come to associate with you.

"I feel so stupid," he whines, his eyes tightly shut as he shuffles closer, seeking more solace in your warmth. It's as if he has been deprived of it for so long, though you know that cannot be true. His parents were present. His self-blame stems solely from the rejection he has faced. "I... I should have noticed the signs... I should have."

Shaking your head softly, you offer reassurance, "She didn't give any signs. You weren't the only one who didn't know,” you pause to ponder you next words, it’ll be a risky statement given the circumstances but maybe you were selfish if you did, “Maybe if you did, you could have found someone who’d reciprocates your feelings.”

"Nobody would want me after this. It's humiliating," he practically whispers so low you’ll miss it if he wasn’t this close to you. His sniffling has long subsided as he rests his head on your shoulder. His arms loosen their grip, hanging loosely around you, "I wouldn't want me."

Your heart aches at the sight of his self-deprecating words, the pain and insecurity etched on his face. Without a second thought, you gently push him back, your hands resting on his chest, a small act of resistance against his negative thoughts. His swollen, confused eyes meet yours as you lean closer.

Placing a hand on his thigh for comfort, you let your voice carry the weight of your words, "Never say that about yourself," you say firmly, your frown reflecting your deep concern, "Rotxo, you are so much more than this moment of rejection. You deserve love just like anyone else. Don't let this define your worth."

Your fingertips caress his cheeks, radiating warmth and tenderness as they glide along his skin. A softness lingers in your touch, an unspoken reassurance that you offer with every stroke. Despite the tremor that quivers through your own hands, a testament to the emotions swirling within you, you remain steadfast in your mission to uplift his spirits and kindle a flicker of hope within his wounded heart.

Truly, it was right there before him, concealed in plain sight, much like it was with Kiri. You can't help but marvel at the irony of it all, how easily the heart can be blind to what lies just beyond its reach. Yet, a tender fondness washes over you, an understanding of his innocence and his unwitting ignorance of the precious connection that beckoned him.

Perhaps, you think, it's for the best that he remained oblivious for now, as the pain is still fresh and tender.

"Do you really think so?" he asks, his eyes filled with wonder and a glimmer of hope, desperately seeking validation in your response. As you nod and offer a soft smile, his face lights up with a genuine smile, the first of the day. Excitedly, he pulls you into a heartfelt hug, his pure nature shining through. This man is truly a gem.

You find yourself grappling with a myriad of emotions as you reflect on the situation. It perplexes you why he seemed oblivious to the impact he had on your heart. Taking a deep breath to steady your racing thoughts, you decide it's time to bring this poignant exchange to a close.

Clearing your throat, you slowly rise from your seated position, your gaze momentarily avoiding his captivating eyes that shimmer in the gentle moonlight. The silence between you stretches, filled with unspoken words and lingering emotions.

"I think it's best if we both make our way back," you say, your voice carrying a tinge of melancholy and unrequited longing.

He reciprocates with a gentle smile, its genuineness captivating you, even in the midst of this tender farewell. A subtle nod of understanding passes between you, both acknowledging the intricate complexities of the moment.

His voice resonates with heartfelt gratitude, softly punctuating the stillness that envelops you both, "Thank you."

With those words lingering in the air like a whispered promise, you reluctantly part ways, each step carrying the weight of unspoken emotions. The night embraces you, wrapping you in its embrace as you find comfort in the knowledge that you were there for one another, if only for a fleeting moment.

Little did you know, it was far from being the last encounter.

The following morning arrives, and you attempt to steal a few extra moments of slumber, seeking refuge from the complexities of the previous night. However, your peaceful interlude is shattered by the persistent calls of your mother, who reminds you of the responsibilities and obligations that come with being a member of the Metkayina. The demands of productivity override any personal desires, and you resign yourself to the tasks that lie ahead.

You decide to embark on a fishing expedition, a familiar ritual that brings level headedness and nourishment. Equipped with your trusty net, you make your way to one of the favored fishing spots, immersing yourself in the tranquil waters. The cool embrace of the water fails to deter you as you wade deeper, determined to fulfill your task and provide a bountiful catch for your family.

After a while of not catching anything in your chosen fishing spot, you decide to relocate. Fortunately, the change of location proves fruitful, and you're grateful for the decision as you witness a group of male Na'vi engaging in animated conversation, their attention fixated on Rotxo and his fishing prowess.

A sense of amusement washes over you as you realize his popularity. Who would have thought?

Without a second thought, you find yourself wading through the water towards him, unintentionally interrupting the tranquility he sought. "Looks like you've got some admirers," you playfully tease, you playfully tease, coming to a halt a few feet away. He turns to you, confusion evident in his eyes.

"What do you mean, (Name)?" he asks, genuinely puzzled. But his confusion quickly fades as you gesture towards the group of Na'vi, a faint blush coloring his cheeks. He takes a step back, shrugging his shoulders, a slight frown forming on his face. "They've been there all morning. Just gossiping, I suppose."

A surge of annoyance wells up within you, no longer able to tolerate his self-doubt. "Enough of that," you assert, your voice carrying a deep resonance. "Anyone would be lucky to have you... including myself." The words slip out in a mumble, almost lost amidst the sounds of nature. Whether he catches your confession or not, he remains silent, stealing a quick glance in your direction before returning his focus to the task at hand.

A comfortable silence envelops you both, accompanied by the gentle lapping of waves and the occasional splash. Surprisingly, the absence of words doesn't create any awkwardness. It's a stark contrast to the usual giddy and somewhat nauseating feeling you experience in his presence. Perhaps the brief but meaningful connection you shared the previous night has brought a newfound ease and comfort when it comes to being around him.

You feel a gentle yet firm grip on your forearm, halting your motion of throwing the net once again. Turning your gaze to the source, you find Rotxo standing beside you, a soft chuckle escaping his lips as he observes your fishing technique. His eyes sparkle with amusement as he takes hold of your hands, his touch sending a tingle of warmth through your skin.

Curiosity dances in his eyes as he asks, "Who taught you how to fish?"

You can't help but feel a touch of self-consciousness, looking down for a moment before meeting his gaze. "I actually taught myself," you admit, your voice carrying a hint of bashfulness.

A knowing smile graces his face as he replies, "That explains your stance. You won't catch many fish like that." He moves closer to you, his body language open and inviting. His question hangs in the air, and you find yourself captivated by his presence, eagerly granting him permission to guide you.

"I don't mind," you respond, your voice filled with anticipation and curiosity. With your consent, he takes the lead, positioning your hands and adjusting your body to align with his preferred fishing method. Every touch, every gentle adjustment, sends a jolt of electricity through your being.

"I must say, I've caught plenty of fish on my own," you playfully interject as he pulls away, a mischievous glint in your eyes.

He nods, his gaze transitioning from your hands to your eyes, a silent understanding passing between you. "I have no doubt about that. But the way you were doing it would have taken much longer," he remarks, a hint of admiration evident in his voice.

With his guidance, you make several more attempts, each time incorporating the adjustments he has shown you. It's a delicate dance of coordination, a symphony of movement and shared intention. You feel a sense of connection and trust building with each throw, as if you are moving in perfect harmony with each other and the rhythm of the water.

Time seems to melt away as you continue fishing together. Conversations flow effortlessly, laughter echoes through the air, and a sense of peace envelops you both. The symphony of nature's sounds—the gentle lapping of water against your legs, the rustle of leaves in the breeze, and the occasional splash of a fish—accentuates the tranquility of the moment.

A bittersweet ache tugs at your heart. You wish you that this would be the last time similar actions would be like this, that it’ll be easier to let go than to hold on to a love that can never be fully realized. It's a torment, a constant battle between the longing in your heart and the rationality in your mind. Each passing day spent in his company, teaching and bonding, feels both like a gift and a cruel twist of fate.

You had made peace with your feelings long ago, even before he confessed his love for Kiri. You had resigned yourself to the fact that friendship was the only path you could walk together, no matter how much it pained you. It was a choice to preserve what you had, to savor the moments of joy and connection, even if it meant treading a delicate tightrope of unspoken desires.

"You're spacing out again," Rotxo's voice breaks the spell of your thoughts. You find yourselves back at the familiar spot, the place where platonic confessions were made, now a couple of months later. Time has slipped away swiftly in the company of the one you love.

You let out a soft hum, meeting his gaze with contemplation and unknown affection. "I've been doing a lot of thinking," you confess, your voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty.

Curiosity flickers in Rotxo's eyes as he tilts his head, genuinely interested in the thoughts that have consumed you for so long. He has always respected your privacy, refraining from prying into your inner world. Yet, an undeniable concern gnaws at him, a desire to understand and offer support. You both have become pillars for each other, leaning on each other in times of need.

"Is it something troubling?" he asks, his gaze unwavering as he waits for your response.

“I think that depends on how someone sees it…” you trail off, sensing a shift in the atmosphere. The conversation takes an unexpected turn, and a wave of apprehension washes over you, making you hesitate to continue. You can't quite put your finger on it, but something feels different about this discussion, and it makes you reluctant to delve deeper.

"Will you tell me?" he whispers softly, his voice filled with concern and a touch of vulnerability. The genuine care in his eyes urges you to open up, but you find yourself momentarily speechless, unsure of how to express the conflicted emotions swirling within you. You don't want to burden him or risk jeopardizing the friendship you hold dear.

For a moment, silence hangs in the air, and he senses your hesitation. Worried that he may be crossing a line, he considers dropping the subject altogether. But just as he's about to let it go, your voice finally breaks through.

"I don't think I can continue to be your friend... I feel guilty," you confess, the words escaping your lips, filled with sadness and regret.

He shifts in his seated position, giving you his undivided attention with a serious expression. What could you possible feel guilty about? You haven’t done anything to him, he was pretty sure of that. If anything, you have been becon since his rejection, guilt was the last thing he expects you to feel. Unless it’s something he doesn’t know about.

"Guilt?" he repeats, his voice gentle yet tinged with confusion. "What is it that makes you feel this way?"

A heavy sigh escapes your lips as you try to find the right words. "It's these... feelings I have," you confess, your voice barely above a whisper.

“Feelings for who?” he wasn’t aware you had sometime you liked. And knowing that made him uncomfortable in his chest. It was a familiar feeling—like his heart has dropped to his stomach. A gasp leave Shia lips as you continue, his heart beat picking up.

“For you,” you express, looking eyes with him, “I’ve always liked you and I was content watching from afar. Then we started getting closer and my feelings gotten stronger. It’s became harder for me to ignore it. I can't help but feel guilty for having these emotions while knowing they may complicate our friendship.”

A faint smile tugs at the corners of his lips as he reaches out, his hand gently holding yours, a comforting gesture that you hadn't even noticed was trembling, “I think—no, I feel the same way,” he reveals.

Your eyes widen, your face flushing with warmth as you process his words, "You what?"

"I like you too," he confesses, his voice growing a little louder, “It took a while for me to realize it but when I did, I was scared that—uh, that another situation like before would happen again.” he moves to interlock your hands, lower his head bashfully as you’ve done in numerous situations.

You stare at him, your mouth hanging open in astonishment. "Do you really?"

His eyes meet yours, filled with warmth and fondness reflected in their depths. "I first noticed it when we were going to gather some fruit," he begins, his voice laced with a sense of nostalgia, "My stomach felt funny, and I couldn't help but feel excited when I saw your own excitement.”

He scoots closer to you, his shoulder gently brushing against yours, sending a delightful shiver down your spine. Your heart skips a beat, captivated by his closeness and his words.

"The first time my heart raced, I was scared and confused," he continues, his voice soft and filled with vulnerability, "You weren't even around, but it was as if you were right there in my thoughts. It took me a while to understand what those feelings meant, but now I do. I like you, more than ever. "

His eyes never leave yours as he speaks, and you can see the depth of his sincerity. It's a moment of shared revelation and vulnerability, a connection that goes beyond words.

A smile spreads across your face, mirroring the joy that fills your heart. "Me too," you whisper, your voice filled with an undeniable certainty. The weight of unspoken feelings finally lifted, replaced by the exhilarating realization that your feelings are reciprocated.

"I thought I misheard you when you said you'd be lucky to be with me," he chuckles, leaning his forehead against yours. "Little did I know, it would actually be the other way around."

You close your eyes, giggling softly at his words, flattered by his belief in your worth. "I see you," you whisper, too shy to meet his gaze. It feels surreal to hear him express his feelings so openly.

He gently releases your hand, his finger lightly tapping your cheek to get your attention. "Look at me," he insists, his voice filled with tenderness. "Tell me when you look at me."

With a bit of reluctance, you open your eyes, feeling a flutter in your stomach as your gazes meet. The intensity of his gaze sends a shiver of excitement down your spine, and in that moment, you realize that this is not a dream—it's your reality. Before you can utter a word, Rotxo beats you to it, leaving you breathless.

"I see you, (Name)," he says, his words overflowing with sweetness and sincerity. It shocked you that it was directed at you. Nearly felt like a dream if he didn’t plant a wet kiss on your nose, forcing you to wrap your head around that this was real, that he was there with you—not with Kiri or any o the other Na’vi woman.

Just you.

"Would this make it awkward, liking you after..." he starts to ask, his voice trailing off, unable to find the right words without it sounding off.

You shake your head, dispelling his concerns with a reassuring smile. "She'll understand," you assure him, confident in your response.

Because even though Kiri may have been oblivious to Rotxo's feelings, she had an inkling of your affection for him. That fateful night of raw emotions and a little too much alcohol had led to a heartfelt confession, revealing the depths of your feelings for Rotxo. In that moment, Kiri had grasp the truth, and though unspoken, an understanding had silently formed between you.

OMG! I've just read your latest post about an Overlord and I am so psyched! Are you going to continue the route of the Y/N being Ainz's twin sister? If so, what would the human characters of the anime would react when they see Y/N and witnessed her strength?

The Flower of Nazarick meets Humans | Yandere Overlord 

If you referring to the Madam Butterfly Sister Reader your interactions are very similar to Ainz disguising yourself to become a hero and it's a collective sense of forlorn admiration. As his twin, it doesn’t leave a lot for you two to get much of a different reaction. Now in my first original reader, where you aren’t exactly related by blood, you have a built-in buff where characters below a certain level naturally are drawn to you and become hopelessly obsessed with you. All humans typically fall under this scope and even in disguise your power isn’t truly impeded:

Enri Enmot

She was bewildered by Lupisregina’s reaction to hearing that you’d be visiting

Squeezing her legs, breathing erratically while pulling at her braids

When it was explained that you were on the same level as Ainz

She could hardly imagine what it’d be like when you arrived without your veil

A case study Ainz wanted to trial your effect on others

“A-ah y-you must be (User)-sama! Thank you for gracing this village with your wonderfulness!”

She can hardly come down from the high she got being around you

Granted she was able to snap out of it to shoo order her goblins away

Your beauty has her heating up in places she’d rather not

‘A true paragon of beauty…a flower hardly captures your eminence!’

Not to mention your kindness to everyone in the village

Allowing them to feed to you

And interact in playful banter

It feels like a knife pulled out when you’re escorts signal your departure

Carne Village is in emotional shambles

Their only saving grace is the letter of appreciation you left behind

She almost wants to keep it from them but her better half stops her

“Oh…yeah…we have to go on, right? Make this place a better place for them to come visit, right?”

Nfirea Bareare

He knew it was you, the masked visitor that spoke to Momonga

Even then he didn’t understand why he kept dreaming of your muffled voice 

But he knew now 

Now that you showed yourself without the mask he now felt true love

“Y-yes (User)-sama! W-whatever you need! I’ll happily make it for you! S-sorry!” 

He’s a blushing mess around you all the time

But since Ainz gave the all-clear with him he’s been gifted a touch of your ungloved hand

He nearly ejaculated right there

He is beside himself with how little he can handle you 

Thanks to Enri he gets a little more confidence when you’re eyes look at him

Not to mention they both seem to bond over you together like never before

In more ways than one

He helps Enri when her compassion  in sharing you is shaken

He gets the feeling

“M-maybe we can keep some of the letters to ourselves, right? As the leader, you we can keep our little secret. It is your our duty after all.”

Climb

Meeting you in your disguised form

he may never see your face unmasked

But he doesn’t need to

He’s already smitten 

Whether he witnessed you fighting playing or just dodging expertly 

He admires you beyond a simple squire

He blushes at just the sound of your name

enduring this when he reports to his princess what you did in your stay in E-Rantel

“T–they were radiant, as always but today…hah~they complimented m-my bravery, Princess.”

“What was it like? How did it feel?” 

“I-it was like being burned, cursed to replay their voice whenever they’re gone. B-but in the moments we shared it was like an inferno in my heart and my cheeks S-sorry Princess I spoke too much!”

“No no, all is well. I greatly appreciate it.”

Princess Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself

Knew something was different immediately when she saw you 

Immediately turning away to smile her true smile as she reveled in the pure obsession being ignited within her

On a constant high, she feels so great already about having to do it through Climb but when you finally meet 

It changes nothing

Except amplifies her obsessions more so 

Drooling in her lonesome she imagines what it’ll be like to have both of you at her whim

But when you align yourself with Momonga she has to relish in the painful pleasure of watching you from afar

“I thank you for your service in protecting E-Rantel. And thank you for protecting mine my knight.”

And when she finally has Climb and she sees you’re veiled appearance beside Ainz

She knows immediately and has to hold herself back from shaking in pleasure

For any unfortunate soul that should listen in the halls of the castle she was left, she laughs hysterically so overcome with joy at her obsessions passionately weak and tortuously out of reach

“Ahh~My loves! I can hardly ever contain it all hah~!”

Clementine

Now by the time she’s in her prime, you may have not even bloomed 

But if you do it's toward the end

You’ve either fought alongside Momonga or joined him in his decimation of Clementine and her partner

You’re not emotionally immune like Ainz so you might lose a little bit of control

And man does she think it's hot

“Oya Oya are you mad, cutie? Well, when I win I’d love to stab you more and more!”

Her obsession is twisted and disgusting 

Especially after you had begun to quite like the group you were with

You might be too angry; unable to regulate your power when you simply think about getting revenge

So it's likely that Ainz will send you away or forbid you from fighting

But you can watch 

Floating far above her head you watch as she gets angrier at Ainz’s evading

Eventually looking up at the bristling ferocity steaming off you

Even when you're giving her a death glare 

She’s somehow irrevocably excited

“Oi Oi what’s Pretty doing stayin’ up there? Don’t you want to meet with Lady Clementine? Get you’re own ‘revenge’ on me?”

Even as Ainz crushes her to death she’s as happy as she can be while looking at you

Only feeling absolutely destroyed when you turn away

As Ainz gives the final blow

“No! No! No! Agh–!”

the villain's heart | izuku x reader

You were a villain, feared and despised by many. But there was one thing you never expected to feel - love. And to make it even worse, the object of your affection was none other than the hero-in-training, Izuku Midoriya.

It all started when you were assigned to infiltrate UA Academy and gather information about the students. You had heard of Izuku's heroic feats and had expected him to be just like any other hero - arrogant, self-righteous, and blind to the realities of the world. But to your surprise, he was kind, gentle, and always willing to help others.

As you spent more time around him, you found yourself falling deeper and deeper in love. You longed to tell him how you felt, but you knew it could never happen. You were a villain, and he was a hero. The two of you could never be together.

But despite your best efforts to keep your feelings hidden, Izuku began to notice something different about you. He saw past the facade you put up and saw the pain and longing in your eyes. And though he could never condone your actions as a villain, he couldn't help but feel drawn to you.

You tried to push him away, to keep him safe from the dangers of being involved with a villain. But Izuku was determined to help you, to show you that there was another way to live. He believed that everyone deserved a second chance, and he was willing to risk everything to give you one.

Over time, you and Izuku began to spend more and more time together. You would talk for hours, sharing your hopes and dreams, fears and doubts. You would go on long walks around the city, watching the sun rise over the buildings and feeling the cool breeze in your hair. You would train together, honing your skills and pushing each other to be the best you could be.

It was during one of these training sessions that Izuku finally confronted you about your feelings. "I know you're a villain," he said, his voice firm but gentle. "But I also know that there's more to you than just that. I see the good in you, the kindness and compassion that you try so hard to hide. And I want to be there for you, to support you and help you find a better way."

You were taken aback by his words. No one had ever spoken to you like that before, with such understanding and acceptance. You felt a warmth spread through your chest, a feeling of hope and happiness that you had thought was impossible.

"Izuku," you said, your voice barely above a whisper. "I…I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything," he replied, stepping closer to you. "Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what. We can do this together, find a way to make things right."

And with those words, he took your hand and pulled you closer, his eyes locking onto yours. You could feel your heart pounding in your chest, a mixture of fear and excitement coursing through your veins.

"Izuku," you said again, your voice shaking. "I…I think I love you."

He smiled, a gentle, reassuring smile that made your heart skip a beat. "I think I love you too," he replied, leaning in to kiss you.

It was a moment of pure bliss, a feeling of connection and understanding that you had never experienced before. You knew that there would be obstacles ahead, challenges that would test your resolve and your commitment to each other. But with Izuku by your side, you felt confident that you could face anything.

Together, you and Izuku fought against the forces of evil, side by side. You knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but with Izuku by your side, you were ready to face anything. Love was profound, the one thing that had the power to change everything.

But even as your love for each other grew stronger, the world around you remained just as dangerous and unforgiving as ever. You still had to watch your back, to be careful not to reveal your true identity as a villain. And even though Izuku knew the truth about you, there were still many others who would never accept you for who you were.

It was during one of your late-night walks through the city that you saw an old acquaintance of yours - another villain who you had worked with in the past. You tried to avoid him, to slip away unnoticed, but he saw you and called out to you.

"Hey, I remember you," he said, his voice slick and oily. "What are you doing here? I thought you were still in the game."

"I…I'm not doing that anymore," you replied, trying to keep your voice steady.

"Really?" he said, stepping closer to you. "That's not what I heard. I heard you were still pulling jobs, still causing all sorts of trouble."

"I…I don't know what you're talking about," you said, backing away.

But he was too quick for you. He grabbed your arm and pulled you back towards him.

"Listen, babe," he said, his breath hot on your face. "Why don't we team up again? You and me, we could rule this city. Think about it - with your skills and my connections, we could be unstoppable."

You tried to pull away, but he held you tight. You could feel the panic rising in your chest, the fear of being caught and exposed.

But then you felt a strong hand on your shoulder, and you turned to see Izuku standing there, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Let her go," he said, his voice low and dangerous.

The other villain laughed. "What's it to you, hero boy? She's just a piece of trash, a villain like any other."

"She's not a villain," Izuku replied, his grip tightening on your shoulder. "She's a person, just like you and me. And I won't let you hurt her."

The two of them stared at each other for a long moment, the tension thick in the air. But then the other villain shrugged and let go of your arm.

"Suit yourself," he said, turning away. "But don't say I didn't warn you."

And with that, he disappeared into the night, leaving you and Izuku alone.

"Izuku," you said, turning to him. "Thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you."

He smiled, his eyes warm and reassuring. "You don't have to thank me," he said. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

And with those words, he took your hand and pulled you close, his lips meeting yours in a tender kiss. You felt the warmth of his body against yours, the strength and solidity of his embrace. And you knew, without a doubt, that you had found something truly special - a love that could conquer even the darkest of evils.

support me? :)

[inconspicious-random-thoughts]

You know what I think would be interesting about Charlie and Alastor's dynamic? It would be in how they influence each other going forward. Alastor is slowly pushing Charlie to becoming a more assertive and inspirational princess as part of his plans to "pull all of the strings" and get out of his deal. Under his tutelage, Charlie will become much more willing to use her abilities in defense of the Hotel and her loved ones, potentially developing something of a ruthless streak as the threats to the Hotel continue to pile up. I also imagine she will start using his philosophy about using smiles to project power and confidence to hide her personal pain and growing trauma (which knowing this show will no doubt be a lot) to the point of becoming self-destructive and somewhat isolated from her inner circle, potentially even Vaggie to avoid weighing them down with her burdens (which would be ironic since it would be similar to how Vaggie hid her past as an Exorcist out of guilt and fear of her girlfriends rejection). Taking a level in badass in exchange for a drawn-out mental break down.

As for Charlie's influence on Alastor, Charlie's compassion is already rubbing off on him enough for the Overlord to risk his life fighting Adam and the Exorcists for them, something that he found so out of character that he had a villainous breakdown over this realization. While resistant to this growth of character at first in the name of preserving his dreaded reputation, Alastor will slowly becoming less withdrawn and more willing to engage with the crew even when doing so doesn't help his goals, even becoming less antagonistic towards Husk and Lucifer who in turn will actually enjoy his company to a degree. He will remain a ruthless bastard committed to his personal goals, and likely won't be redeeming himself anytime soon, but he'll still become a member of the family all the same. Whether this will resolve his existential crisis or drive him even more mad I can't say right now.

Good to hear from you again,

I been meaning to respond quicker but apparently I'm not allowed to sit and think for more then three minutes at a time. :( So my thoughts/ respond may seem disjointed as I was writing small bit at a time.

To be honestly, I haven't really consider Alastor influence on Charlie beside the standard of nudging her in the direction towards his own agenda. You are correct, now that it's pointed to me. He would have a great influence on her beyond the manipulation. TBH his manipulation might not as nefarious as we think (I still think it because of his contractor) but it can be just that he made to guide her to reach her full potential and power. Which would still align with his own goals with breaking his deal of his soul.

We already see Charlie being influence and episode 7 after they made their deal and Alastor told her about the power of a smile. She took that advice. When Vaggie was made aware of the deal, and Alastor suggestion of meeting his friend to gain numbers she agreed with "What was that about smiling?"

Charlie will become much more willing to use her abilities in defense of the Hotel and her loved ones, potentially developing something of a ruthless streak as the threats to the Hotel continue to pile up.

I wonder why she so hesitate to use her powers in the first place. Like, would she even need Alastor if she simply just use it to begin with? To fix her own hotel? There must be a reason for it. Its either, she cant control it as she doesnt practice it, or it effects her morals/personality, or just the general fear of innocents being caught in the crossfire. It could be all three. But her powers probably tie in more to option two as we only see her demonic powers come out when she upset/annoyed/angry.

Maybe why she so chipper is because as child she more likely threw a tantrum or possible from her teenage ansty emo phase lol...I hope because of her emo phase because emo goth Charlie is entertaining...and hurt so many people from it when her powers manifested in anger and lost control. After that, she swore to herself to always be chipper. So in a way she always used a smile as a mask. But after Alastor, she learn that she can do a lot more with a smile. If this is a backstory that happen, I can see her following Alastor guidance much more easily as she start to see that they may be similar in some ways.

Charlie will definitely become more confident with her powers in season two after the battle. We saw her stop Adam punch. We know she blames herself for everything. Sir Pentious death, Alastor being wounded when it comes to light, Dazzle death, Vaggie taking a bit of a beating from Lute to protect Charlie. She is stronger then all of them, but here they are or harmed as they attempt to protect her. She may take this as a lesson to just just suck up any reservation about using her power to prevent more of her friends from getting hurt when she could have easily stopped it before. I wouldn't say she become ruthless, or at least consciously. Alastor ruthless and wants to be. Charlie "ruthless" is she momentarily lost herself, overwhelmed by the influence of her power.

Charlie seeking Alastor mentorship over guidance from her father would be possibly Alstor has a great sense of self control and discipline then Lucifer. Lucifer would also be too gentle that it be too dismantling. Lucifer training is, swim wings, training wheels, or end up doing things for her to save her the trouble, while Alastor would be blunt and throw Charlie in headfirst to learn. You know Alastor the type that throws a kid in to learn to swim or push someone off a cliff to learn to fly. Everyone in the hotel, when giving advice or bring up issues, tip toes around charlie feelings about thing. Alastor doesn't. Alastor doesn't factor feelings into decisions. He does, calculate how people would react because of feelings, but the issues themselves he does factor them in. Which may be another reason why she would seek his advice.

I also imagine she will start using his philosophy about using smiles to project power and confidence to hide her personal pain and growing trauma (which knowing this show will no doubt be a lot) to the point of becoming self-destructive and somewhat isolated from her inner circle, potentially even Vaggie to avoid weighing them down with her burdens (which would be ironic since it would be similar to how Vaggie hid her past as an Exorcist out of guilt and fear of her girlfriends rejection).

There be definitely be something she'll hide from Vaggie, I just don't know what. Lack of ideas currently, I'll go with keeping Alastor injury a secret or he used their deal for something but has to keep quiet. Or Charlie undergoing demonic power training under Alastor guidance-which Vaggie would hate so much. Vaggie is super suspicious and frustrated by this. Vaggie feels like she failing Charlie somehow, but forcing herself to trust and give Charlie her space while trying to support her while keeping her in the dark.

As for Charlie's influence on Alastor, Charlie's compassion is already rubbing off on him enough for the Overlord to risk his life fighting Adam and the Exorcists for them, something that he found so out of character that he had a villainous breakdown over this realization. While resistant to this growth of character at first in the name of preserving his dreaded reputation, Alastor will slowly becoming less withdrawn and more willing to engage with the crew even when doing so doesn't help his goals, even becoming less antagonistic towards Husk and Lucifer who in turn will actually enjoy his company to a degree. He will remain a ruthless bastard committed to his personal goals, and likely won't be redeeming himself anytime soon, but he'll still become a member of the family all the same. Whether this will resolve his existential crisis or drive him even more mad I can't say right now.

I am so looking forward to whatever direction the creator will take Alastor. But I am hoping and looking forward of Alastor growing and eventually accepting the soft spot he has for the hotel and its people.

There's something I been thinking about a lot, it was the night before the battle when we witness Alastor and Niffty share a moment.

That was the real Alastor and his thoughts and feelings. His facade was dropped there. Think about it, With Rosie, we saw him relax and generally be happy. But he still had to put up a front, and a mask. He has to act like the overlord that he is. He had to be confident to ensure everything moves forwards as plan. So, as much as he less acting when he around Rosie, he still has halls and acting in some parts. But why would he need to put up a mask there with Niffty? He not going to confine to Niffty of all his plans and agenda, But he also didn't need to put up as much of an appearance in a near private, quiet moment, alone with Niffty, . What he spoke there was 100% honestly. He admitted he enjoying his time there and and like the idea of continuing it.

The other real moment he had was his break down. Grappling with the idea he nearly died. Even as mortals we know we can die any given moment, yet act invincible despite the facts. Now imagine, being immortal soul and a powerful one with near complete control....Dieing seem so improbable yet...here Alastor, freaking out that that near improbable thing nearly became true. Now on top of that, greatly injured and cane broke in two which will have consequences. All because of...he grew to care and want to protect the hotel (outside of a possible forced to by contract)

Alastor will slowly becoming less withdrawn

I think he will be more withdrawn and reclusive...at first anyways. He will want to hide his wound but also distance himself from developing more feelings for the hotel that nearly gave his life for. He be more cruel and ruthless to make up for growing soft, gain distance from the hotel as well make the radio demon feared again, especially if the video gets leaked. He going to be alone. Not willing or wanting anyone in.

The last 10minutes showed the little factions.

The vees.

Charlie and co/hotel including her father

Emily/Sera/Sir Pentious (Tho I think there be tension between Sera and Emily)

Lute and Lilith

Alastor was alone. (break down) But align himself with the hotel but hes not with the hotel. Its like when a group of adventures pick up someone because they are heading in the same direction. They will provide aid to each other but their missions are different. Alastor going to provide aid to the Hotel but he going to be too seclutive to appear that he needs any himself. Nor will he show or admit it unless he absolutely force too.

The thing is, being alone will end poorly for him. Just like how the battle went. The hotel fought together and more or less, made it out. Alastor fought alone with his pride and ego and he lost. lost badly.

So Alastor will be alone until he backed into a corner and just about to lose badly once more but Charlie and co will come to his aid. Quite possibly when he thought he possible burnt that bridge from something or betrayal that happen a little earlier.

That's when he accepts them that's beyond territorial and contract obligations. They saw him at his weaken and vulnerable and not took advantage of it. Despite everything. He'll finally learn to accept them because they already proven time and time again that they accepted and care for him. His walls will slowly start chipping away. Unfortunately he still hiding things so he can't full embrace the idea...but it a start.

He still going to be the Radio demon, generally being a prick and Alastor hiding behind a mask, but we get to witness Alastor slipping it off occasionally.

What would be fun is the idea of Charlie rubbing of Alastor, is that perhaps Alastor against his instincts and to his surprise....showed compassion. It be to Vox of all people. Shocking them both. Vox ending whatever Vees had plan that surely would not bode well for the hotel because of it. That Vox and Alastor end up having a truce and possible rekindle their old friendship.

Tho, I be laughing if Alastor showed compassion for once because Charlie got in his head, only for it to backfire terribly. Then Alastor grumbling that he was a fool to show mercy.

*Alastor limping away after killing the sinner who took advantage of Alastor showing mercy for once while clutching a gaping hole in chest. "It's important to show compassion she said," Alastor scoffs before poorly imitating Charlies voice. "It doesn't hurt to show some kindness!" Alastor laughs mirthlessly and winces from the sharp pain it caused. "Well, tell that to the gaping hole in my chest!!!!"

But in the case, Charlie did need to train her demonic power, I can see how Charlie end up influencing Alastor while he trying to mentor her. Not just the growing fondness hell have for her as his protege. But they probably end up having topics of discussions that arises as she trains. Alastor obviously mocks her point of views, but her words will sink into mind unconsciously. And those words will whisper at him, showing their disapproval at what depravity he trying to act out. Frustrating him that she getting to him

HE may even not go through the acts, not wanting to disappointed Charlie if she was to find out.

Or surprisingly more, maybe after training, Charlie able to control her powers outside of anger. We only see her demonic powers when shes mad. But Alastor witness, Charlie is noticeably stronger when she fighting for something she loves and care for. Which may leave a door open to a path for Alastor to consider to follow.

Your current karma in love reading

pick a number 1-5 OR pick a colour: 1-yellow 2-blue 3-orange 4-red 5-purple Hope you enjoy! (ps. this reading is for practice, fun and entertainment as always)

PS. This Tarot event is still on-going, you can check it out here

1.Welcome to pile number 1. As for your current karma in romance, a big theme is pride. Your pride and their pride. There seems to be a huge focus on looks and all the superficial, like education, job title and salary, brands, etc. There seems to be a strong lack of flexibility, both you and them insisting on having their way and getting what they want to have looks and status wise. You seem to be dealing with lots of distractions and temptations and manipulation and competition. And that takes us to the next big theme, which is intentionality and intentions, yours and theirs. Looking at the cards you are clearly drawn to and attracting men, who are seeking benefits, using you, maybe simply through friends with benefits. You could even still be attached to an ex for superficial reasons. It looks like you are experiencing a lot of ghosting as well, people just walking away. So you are called to re-look at your intentions. There is a very heavy need for you to detoxify your love life. The big question is what needs to be released, what is the needed transformation. You are called to do some self-reflection. Maybe you could ask yourself why you stay in situations, where it's obvious the connection will never lead to more. Or could it be you actually just want the superficial? Have courage and have the courage to be honest with yourself. What "success" means to you in love? Is it just to get attention or to have experience or truly find beautiful love? So in addition to detoxification, what's also a big part of your current karma in romance is patience and self-acceptance and compassion. To know your worth. Also, one more thing coming through for you is that you could currently be more into reading a lot about love and relationships or watching some clips or movies or dramas or reading love books. Since a big part of your current karma in love is to detoxify, maybe that's one of the areas as well, where you should practice using more your intuition. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

2.Welcome to pile number 2. What comes to your current karma in romance, the biggest theme seems to be about you being stuck in a loop. Like a situation, a pattern is on repeat, again and again. For things to change, patience will be needed but it's not enough, you also need to understand the purpose of that situation, what is the lesson there for you and a change of perception. So it seems you are at the bridge phase right now. And this whole process seems to be divided into two different main themes. One is other people, how the community is influencing your love life. Not just from your side, but also from their side. Especially females as a third-party. This could be your female friends or theirs or exes and so on, but generally speaking it looks like there's been third-party situations. So you are asked to learn to pay attention to signs and a part of it is about the social life. It's about learning to identify people, to see the energy they carry and what is their role. And look at your role, what is the energy you carry, what are you co-creating. You seem to seek justice and yet, you are stuck in power struggles. And that's what takes us to the second main theme, which is all about you. Your current karma in romance now is emotional healing and leaving the past behind. As of now, you seem to suffer of despondency, but you need to work on your self-esteem and self-confidence, to be in a place of feeling poised. The world is filled with possibilities, but first you need to heal, you need to step into your power. In the end, justice is not really something you can seek in romance, it's more a matter of perception. To understand the one for you will always choose you. So you need to start to see yourself from a different light, you have your own crown and nobody has the same one as you. As you work on your healing, you'll really see it pay off. You'll feel much more stable and stronger. And poised. So start to focus on what you want to create and co-create. Again, much abundance and blessings on the sight, it's a matter of perception. There is a new start coming, are you ready for something better? And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

3.Welcome to pile number 3. What comes to your current karma in romance, you seem to be dealing with heavier and more intense energy at this time. Let's break it down a little bit. A part of your current karma in romance is related to commitments. The type of commitment, the meaning, how you perceive it and what it means to you, how they perceive it and what it means to them, are you capable of being committed to someone and a relationship, etc. So questions related to commitment. Then we have the theme of manifestation and magic in this pile. It seems you could be into doing some manifestation rituals regarding love matters. And with that comes communication, to watch your words. The choice of words and tone, also when communicating with people and the words they choose, when communicating with you, as words can reveal a lot of things, if you just pay attention to them. Then you have the theme of feeling all tied up, whether it's you or them or both. This could be commitment issues or maybe even other things in life, because you did get the theme of financial health, as something influencing your love life at this time. So maybe you or the people you deal with in romance are more committed to work and finances than to relationships. Maybe you or they prioritize money matters. Or maybe you could feel like your love life is dependent on money somehow. Maybe you or them or both are more materialistic in nature, like liking to show off your career and financial success by buying stuff, by buying and wearing expensive items. You do have a theme of gift giving in this pile. Anyhow, you are learning lessons about restrictions and feeling tied up, etc and also, to learn letting go. For example letting go of bad habits, letting go of control issues. To learn to just rest and chill. To relax and to take it easy, to not stress about love matters. You are also called to do a whole lot of reflecting and self-reflection. To reconcile with the true you, to recover and to know and use your true power in love. It is hard work but it will greatly pay off as well! It's a time of deep healing and transformation. And that leads to great blossoming in your love life. It's about the little things, your own beauty and the beauty of love and things to be grateful for. The gifts of love, you are learning lessons about the gifts of love. A whole lot of magic and dreaming and magical moments in love. Romance. You are currently going through many phases. That's what your current karma in romance looks like for you at this time. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

4.Welcome to pile number 4. What comes to your current karma in romance, there is so much going on with this pile. For some you could be dealing with online dating, but otherwise there is a theme of masks. Like what are someone's true colours and true nature, true intentions and true feelings and yours, too. Are you pretending or are you being true and them the same. How comfortable do you feel in your connection. Then there is communication. Pay attention to the little details. But one of your biggest main theme is new beginnings in love. Even pregnancy is a possibility. If you are completely single, you do seem to be dealing with new beginnings, like meeting new people or maybe you'll start dating someone, everything is possible with this pile. It could also be a level-up in a commitment, for example from seeing each other to officially dating. And so naturally, whatever is going on, a big part of it will be lessons of making adjustments. Like when you are dating, how do you bring other elements of life together, like home and career. Because at this time there is a focus on adjustments and your career and home as a part of your love life. For example, maybe you are thinking about moving in together with your partner, maybe it's relocation. And if there is a relocation, that could affect yours or their career. So there is definitely a huge lesson about surrendering for you. Like you can't be in control of everything and not everything will go your way. For example continueing from the same previous example, you can't claim your career to be more important than your partner's. You have to both understand that you both have the same equal right to live somewhere you like and to have a workplace you like. And so naturally a theme going on for you is about worth. That you both know your worth and understand you are both equally important and worthy. If you are single, it's still the same. You are learning lessons about worthiness and knowing your worth and what it is you want from your love life, what do you want to create. What for you is happiness in a romantic connection. But at the same time you are taught about surrendering, there is only so much you can do and everything depends on so many things. So a lot of wisdom to gain. So indeed, themes of intentions and quests and ambitions, what you are aiming at and what they are aiming at, what is your focus, what are theirs. A lot about abundance and options, about happiness. Some of you will simply experience lots of sweet moments in love. And then feelings, what is inner strength and sensitivity. Also, what makes a connection stronger. And then another theme for you currently in love is sexual wisdom. And also, one big theme as your current karma in romance is observing. To know, how to stop doing and just being still and staying calm, while just observing. And this theme is related to surrendering. Like said before, you cannot control evertyhing in your love life, not all is up to you. And there is a sense that there could be people watching, spying on you, because they want to know what's up with your love life. And so in that case there is a lesson to not take part in that drama. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

5.Welcome to pile number 5. Your current karma in romance seems to be all about the spiritual at this time. The focus is on you and on you going through transformation. This pile actually has one a bit more unique message to deliver. So let's go with that first. It's about what people choose to create in their love lives. The universe wants you to be you, because though you don't know it, now that you are gone from their lives, they seem to realize what they've lost. There is something about you being gone and people then realizing what they missed out on. The cards are talking about, how when you've been present, they've let gossip and other people's opinion influence them and that they've had an intellectual approach to love, they were into strategy, whereas you've been about love. And for whatever reason, some kind of timing thing, many years later they realize they wish they had known you better, because they know with you they would have experienced something more magical in love. It's something having to do with you being different from others, something about prejudice and misunderstandings. But the message for you is that it went that way for a reason, believe it or not, it's also about divine protection and so just accept the outcome of those past connections and understand they didn't go anywhere, didn't work out, didn't even start, because they are not your person. To be honest, the cards are showing that YOU were never meant for them. So there is a sense that your current karma in love at this time is a lot about acceptance. To just accept, how it was and leave it in the past. Okay, so moving on, indeed currently the focus is on you and on you going through transformation. There is very strong wisdom and intuition present in your spread. There is also need for heart chakra healing, as it seems you might be currently too much influenced by gossips, other people's stories, etc. So it's like the outside noise creates some heart chakra blocks for you at this time. So work on healing your heart chakra and know that whatever is being said around you, true love is a whole different story. And there is a strong focus on intuitive wisdom coming through for you. About combining intellectual vision and understanding with intuition. When it comes to love, there are healthy types of strategies in love as well. Those, where by asking the right questions, you can tell already a lot about the person and how into you they actually are. There is also a focus on crown chakra healing and activation. Your current karma in romance really has so much to do with spirituality and also the divine feminine healing. You are going through transformation and healing, which leads to creativity and inspiration in love and in you attracting love towards you. There is definitely a new cycle, some kind of level-up going on for you at this time. There is also a message about mindset here. To know that there is always enough, for everyone there is their own right partner. So just know there is always enough. Other themes for you in love at this time are healthy boundaries and protection and divine protection. And then of alchemy. There is a focus on you stepping back into your power and in the power of natural love attraction. There is massive sun and sunny energy coming through for you. A lot of clarity, improvement, healing and joyful energy making its way into your love life. You literally got the soulmate card. It seems there is someone ready for you, once you are ready for love. This is a connection much deeper than you've ever experienced so far in love, especially when it comes to intimacy, this one will go deeper. For example depending on your situation you could be about to meet someone you'll have your first kiss with or it could be first time there is a real emotional or spiritual connection between you and them. But there is like a new deeper level to your next love connection. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

Art Is... (5th House)

A few months ago, I wrote a post that associated famous paintings with each zodiac sign in the 5th house (see post here).

Taurus in the 5th House: The Thinker - Taurus is a patient and grounded sign that values stability and contemplation. The Thinker is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin that depicts a seated man deep in thought, with his chin resting on his hand. This sculpture's calm and contemplative energy is a great representation of Taurus in the 5th house.

Gemini in the 5th House: Balloon Dog - Gemini is a playful and lighthearted sign that values humor and entertainment. Jeff Koons' Balloon Dog is a contemporary sculpture made of polished stainless steel that resembles a twisted balloon animal. This sculpture's playful and colorful energy is a perfect representation of Gemini in the 5th house.

Cancer in the 5th House: Pietà - Cancer is a sensitive and nurturing sign that values emotional depth and compassion.

Virgo in the 5th House: David - Virgo is a practical and analytical sign that values precision and detail.

The Venus de Milo is a classic Greek sculpture of the goddess Aphrodite (Venus), which depicts her in a graceful and balanced pose, with her arms missing. This sculpture's graceful and balanced energy is a perfect representation of Libra in the 5th house.

Scorpio in the 5th House: Laocoön and His Sons - Scorpio is an intense and passionate sign that is drawn to the darker side of life. Laocoön and His Sons is a classical sculpture from ancient Greece that depicts a Trojan priest and his two sons being attacked by sea serpents, which represents the punishment of the gods. This sculpture's intense and dramatic energy is a great representation of Scorpio in the 5th house.

Sagittarius in the 5th House: The Fountain of Four Rivers - Sagittarius is an adventurous and free-spirited sign that loves to explore new horizons. The Fountain of Four Rivers is a Baroque masterpiece by Gian Lorenzo Bernini located in the Piazza Navona in Rome. It depicts four river gods representing the four great rivers of the world, each one holding symbolic objects related to their respective river.

The Energetic Dynamic Between Empaths and Narcissists: A Complex Dance

The relationship between empaths and narcissists has been widely studied in both psychological and metaphysical communities. It is a compelling interaction characterized by profound emotional intensity, imbalanced power dynamics, and, often, a deep energetic entanglement. To understand this dynamic fully, it is essential to explore the unique traits of empaths and narcissists, how their contrasting energies attract and affect one another, and the lessons that arise from these relationships.

Understanding the Empath and the Narcissist

An empath is an individual highly attuned to the emotions and energies of others. They often have a natural ability to sense what others are feeling, sometimes even absorbing emotions as if they were their own. Empaths are deeply compassionate, highly intuitive, and often strive to heal or help those around them. They are also sensitive to energy imbalances, easily overwhelmed in chaotic environments, and can struggle with setting boundaries, especially when faced with emotionally charged situations.

In stark contrast, a narcissist is someone who exhibits a pervasive pattern of self-centeredness, often accompanied by a lack of empathy and an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Narcissists tend to manipulate others for their own gain, thrive on admiration, and often view relationships as transactional—using people as tools to reinforce their inflated sense of self-worth. Though they may outwardly appear confident, their self-esteem is often fragile, leading them to seek constant validation and control over others.

The Attraction: Opposing Forces in a Magnetic Pull

At first glance, it seems paradoxical that empaths, who prioritize others' emotions, and narcissists, who prioritize their own, would be drawn to each other. However, the two often form a powerful, if toxic, energetic connection. The empath's sensitivity and capacity for deep care can be irresistible to the narcissist, who craves admiration and attention. On the flip side, empaths, with their innate desire to heal and fix others, may see the narcissist as a wounded soul who needs their compassion. In metaphysical terms, empaths emit a strong, nurturing energy that narcissists are drawn to in an attempt to fill the emotional void within themselves.

This dynamic can be compared to the concept of the energetic vampire—the narcissist feeds off the empath's energy, leaving the empath drained and depleted over time. The empath, in turn, often believes that if they just give a little more, love a little harder, or understand the narcissist a little better, they can somehow "heal" them. This is the crux of the empath-narcissist relationship: an unhealthy cycle of giving and taking that leaves the empath exhausted and the narcissist insatiable.

The Cycle of Manipulation and Emotional Drain

The empath’s desire to help and the narcissist’s need to take creates a cyclical dynamic of manipulation and emotional exhaustion. Narcissists are skilled at gaslighting—a form of manipulation that causes the empath to question their own reality and emotions. Over time, the empath may begin to doubt their perception of the relationship, often feeling as though they are overreacting or imagining problems. This erosion of self-trust makes it easier for the narcissist to maintain control, keeping the empath in a constant state of confusion and vulnerability.

Energetically, empaths may begin to feel drained as their personal boundaries are continuously crossed. The empath, who is used to giving, may feel compelled to offer even more energy in a futile attempt to appease the narcissist, while the narcissist continues to take without ever feeling truly satisfied. This creates a profound energetic imbalance, as the empath’s reserves are depleted, while the narcissist grows more demanding.

Lessons and Liberation: Breaking the Cycle

Despite the toxicity of this dynamic, it can serve as a powerful spiritual lesson for both parties, especially the empath. On a metaphysical level, these relationships often highlight the empath’s need to establish stronger boundaries and protect their energy. The empath must learn that they cannot heal or fix someone who is unwilling to change and that their worth is not tied to how much they give to others. This realization is often a turning point in their personal and spiritual growth, as they begin to reclaim their energy and step into their power.

For narcissists, though they are less likely to engage in self-reflection, the collapse of these relationships can occasionally prompt a deep inner reckoning. When an empath breaks free and withdraws their energy, the narcissist is left without a source of validation, which can force them to confront their own emptiness. However, genuine transformation on the narcissist’s part is rare without significant self-awareness and a willingness to change—traits that are inherently at odds with narcissistic tendencies.

Healing and Empowerment for Empaths

The most significant lesson for empaths in this dynamic is the importance of self-care and self-preservation. When an empath learns to protect their energy, set healthy boundaries, and say "no" without guilt, they can break free from the grip of narcissistic relationships. Healing for empaths often involves cultivating a strong sense of self-worth that is independent of their role as a healer or giver. Practices such as grounding, energy shielding, and emotional release work can help empaths maintain their energetic integrity and avoid being drained by narcissists or other energy vampires.

On a deeper level, empaths may also need to explore why they are drawn to narcissistic individuals in the first place. This can involve unraveling subconscious patterns of co-dependency, unhealed trauma, or beliefs that equate love with sacrifice. By addressing these underlying issues, empaths can transform their relationships and attract healthier, more balanced connections.

Conclusion: A Complex Energetic Exchange

The relationship between empaths and narcissists is a complex and often painful energetic exchange. It is a dynamic that highlights the stark contrast between the giving nature of the empath and the taking nature of the narcissist. However, it is also a powerful opportunity for growth, particularly for the empath. By learning to protect their energy, set boundaries, and prioritize their own well-being, empaths can break free from these toxic cycles and step into their full power, no longer feeling the need to heal those who only seek to drain them. In doing so, they reclaim their energy and open the door to healthier, more fulfilling relationships that honor their sensitivity without exploiting it.
