" What? No hug for your little sister? " brunette drawls, mock pout forming on her lips before grinning at him, eyes glistening. Her arrival is unexpected, crashing the ball while it's in full swing, joining her siblings on the stairs before disappearing into the throws of people afterwards before there can be any confrontation.

She grabs a glass of champagne from a nearby tray, takes a sip, staring at him over the top in an innocent manner, brow raised. " didn't you miss me 'lijah? "

bringing this back! 🤭

                                      There's a glass of champagne in her hand, the sound of music and chatter filling the air. She can feel the gazes of her siblings boring into her, but they're far too occupied to confront her— precisely why Bryn had chosen to gatecrash the ball to make her presence known, the guarantee of less a scene. She was sure the screaming matches would come later, didn't expect her siblings to forgive her for taking off but god was it good to see them again; all of them, in one place. Her mother had been a surprise she hadn't been expecting and she's still processing exactly how she feels about that, or perhaps she's ignoring it. . .

The latter is confirmed at the sight of the brunette and she's in front of her in a second, a casual sip being taken from her glass as she appraises the girl. She'd seen her frequently around town when she'd been skulking about trying to find information on the towns goings on before she made an appearance. Eyes glitter, slow smile spreading across her face.

" You must be the infamous doppelganger. I don't think I've seen you without the Salvatores sniffing around you like dogs. " she draws with a small chuckle, indifference returning as she returns to glancing around the party. " How did you escape your chaperones? " she muses, before her gaze finally turns back to her, head tilting. " Bronwyn Mikaelson by the way, you've probably not heard of me. " she shrugs by way of explanation. " It's a pleasure to finally meet the girl causing all this buzz around her. "

There's an incredibly narrow line I walk in which like, I do not consider my meta to be A Gift To The Fandom and I find it irritating when people act like they are god's gift to a fandom or do a whole Little Red Hen style "I BUST MY ASS LOOKING FOR CREATOR TWEETS" routine; but also obviously I do not begrudge any artist who DOES make a decent amount of income through fandom and so I don't want to say this is ONLY a silly little hobby for everyone because obviously for some people it is an entry point to a larger livelihood through commissions. ANYWAY this preamble is just to set up this, which is that on the one hand I don't think of me writing meta as "labor" per se, but also the second someone throws a fit because I don't write the meta they like my brain immediately kicks in with "labor is entitled to all it creates". Anyway if you've ever sent a meta writer, fan artist, or fic writer hate about how they don't do what you want, consider: providing a fair hourly wage and benefits.

Low energy Devotional Acts for when you don’t have a lot of energy (or time, or money, etc.) pt. 9

🔥Hestia🔥

- put on one of those fireplace videos, or light a candle, or if able light your own fire in the fireplace (or have a bonfire)

- listen to a devotional playlist for Her

- if able do some cooking/baking

- if unable to do that gather some recipes either online or in any cookbooks you may have!

- watch a cooking/baking show

- try your hand at making bread

- watch home renovating, decorating, etc. shows/videos

- if able do some cleaning- doesn’t have to be anything huge just something small like maybe just picking some socks up off the floor or something

- enjoy a hot drink (tea, coffee, hot cocoa)

- watch your comfort movie/show

- if able learn how to knit, crochet, etc. or do some if you know how and are able

- if unable watch knitting or crocheting videos/tutorials

- if able (in every sense of the word here) spend some time with your family or text/call them can be your blood family or chosen family or even your good friends! (Family can be anything you want it to be imo)

- look up important home keeping skills! And watch videos or tutorials on them if you don’t know them (like mending clothes, ironing, etc.) which are all good skills to have ((I add this one because I know at least in America home ec classes have been cut and are pretty much nonexistent like I went through it in middle school but then they got rid of it once I went to high school and in hs it wasn’t mandatory like it was in middle school))

- read up on how to be a good host or guest

- if you like hosting events plan your next gathering

- go through photo albums or pictures and reminisce on the happy, funny, and joyful moments

- if able donate to a food bank (I personally go through my kitchen about 6 times a year-I do a lot of the kitchen work/organizing in my family as I do the cooking so y’know I’m already there so I may as well-and whatever I haven’t used or no longer have plans for I donate! Ofc make sure it’s not expired first and also if able include things like a manual can opener and such! So even though I don’t have too much money myself this system enables me to still be able to help which personally makes me feel good as I grew up utilizing those things so it’s nice to help!)

- if you have pets spend some time with them! They’re important family members as well! Maybe spoil them with their favorite treat and/or activity! Cuddle with them! Just let them know they’re valued and loved family members as well

- be kind to the homeless (yes, even the “bad” ones they’re ppl too and unnecessarily cruelty isn’t helping anything)

- look up ways to help the homeless and if you’re able help out or volunteer or donate (I might make a separate post on stuff to donate as there’s a lot of stuff some folks don’t think about when it comes to giving donates and such)

- hell you could even volunteer or donate to an animal shelter! If that’s more for you and something you’re more comfortable with! They’re homeless too are they not? (I do some volunteer work at the animal shelter myself so I’m very passionate about this)

(and if you have to utilize anything like food banks or government assistance in any capacity work on not feeling bad for needing those things. I know, easier said than done trust me I know again I grew up using those things. But you’re simply getting what you need to survive. And there’s nothing wrong with that. You’re not bad, you haven’t failed, you’re not a leech, etc. you’re just someone trying to survive and there’s no shame in that. There’s no shame in needing help. And not only is that a great devotional act in itself, it’s also just great in general. I do a lot of activist work and such and trust that there’s people who care and people who-again, like me-get it. You’re okay. You’re still a good person. And still deserving of good things.)
