its been like. nearly a year (How.) already but i cannot lie theres Still a part in the back of my brain occupied with and being thoroughly entertained by the way that childes confirmed 4.0 complete self-awareness over waking up the narwhal at 14 recontextualizes some key liyue things leading to some very funny self indulgent scenarios in my head
like yes chili is old news its basic please excuse me for predictable popular ship crimes (do NOT however associate me w the crimes of fanon against their actual range. theyre peak to Me) but i just keep replaying the imagery of zhongli and childe back on their homoerotic Professional Working Relationship bullshit where their flirting passed the jkjk unless treshold of even remotely plausible deniability like 8 exorbitantly priced business dinners ago and theyre just like. doing that whole song and dance now neither committing to a move except zhonglis presently feeling moderately conflicted (but nonetheless fairly unfazed at) by the prospects of actually developing some sort of a thing for the harbinger hes supposed to puppet master into executing the major story climax of his 67-step retirement plan bc he turned out to be quite the strangely charming ginger specimen (to His weird fucking 6000 year old tastes at least. they deserve each other) with some fascinating life ambitions he cant help but be enraptured by.
but because hes still 100% Locked In on his entire plan zhonglis also just . simultaneously dual wielding his coy-ass "i like you and am taking it slow to Savor this developing relationship (Also bc of the Geo Archon Shaped Elephant In The Room) except am old as shit so my languid sense of time inadvertedly Automatically turns my behavior into an equivalent of the dark souls boss of playing hard2get" act (cue "waddup im ajax 24 and im in fucking agony with this hot funeral consultant". Yes they live like this) AND also meticulously theorycrafting like 12 moves in advance for his 6d chess play of leaving the most subtly crafted trail of breadcrumbs behind for the tsaritsas 11th to follow into the intended & completely "Coincidental" idea of unleashing the one particular sealed sea deity that zhongli Specifically wants momentarily released for his sweet 6k retirement party and graduation test for the nation hes helicopter parented for 3.7k years .
like. this is zhongli we r talking about the guy Absolutely has it planned out down to a fucking art like he has an entire branching path dialogue tree planned and memorized like its a visual novel for every possible way he can conveniently namedrop osial in a non-suspect way and also that he just happens to be sealed right over there across the harbor (what a coincidence!) and also to slip in the intel about the latent power of the sigil of permission etc etc. like zhonglis just out there doing all this massive galaxy brain computational work simultaneously while infodumping on an academic level about whichever subject childes latest random comment of amicable small talk happened to remind him of because in his helicopter parent in remission mind its Absolutely Critical that the idea about releasing osial occurs Completely organically in childes mind it Has to he Cannot risk revealing anything . (hes in remission not in recovery guys.) so like here we are. he requested notes from the tsaritsa Personally on the character of her 11th just to ensure every move was painstakingly crafted to draw him Specifically to the intended conclusion without risking revealing his true identity .
except. the thing . neither he. nor the tsaritsa . would have been informed of . is that this simply isnt childes first fucking rodeo waking up an eldritch city sized sea creature . and he is very well aware of this fact . he woke that beautiful wonderful beloved huge fucking narwhal up by himself had his brain chemistry Immediately and Irrevocably rewired as a direct consequence do you fucking think hes somehow stopped thinking about that singular moment for even a second since then???
yeah . thought so.
so what actually ends up happening in reality is theyll be on another definitely-serious-business-not-just-a-date and zhonglis going to get down to like dialogue selection part 10 of the 86 step conversation tree at Most where hes only beginning to like Vaguely allude to the key pieces of information involved but it turns out Because Hes That Guy (TM) And Has Been There Done That Before childes basic pattern recognition and sense of irony simply proceed to kick in Way ahead of time and hes Immediately perking up like Hey wouldnt it be really fucking funny if i wake up an eldritch sea beast Again . like just in case. as a last ditch effort .
and zhonglis just sitting there seeing the gears turn in his head as they enjoy their cringe fucking picnic (bc they just stare at each other intently like that nowadays its a thing. being in a room with them by this point is essentially a human rights violation) and is just completely fucking flabbergasted and lost on how in the hell childes speedran his way to that conclusion at what amounts to barely a 13% completion rate in his whole overkill fucking plan (just 1 of 3 contingencies btw) and its like yes he has his intended outcome but also precisely 0 idea on how the fuck said outcome was reached the way it was this fast . like hes still winning its His plan thats well underway and ahead of schedule but How
(pov: ur selling the concept of waking up destructive sea creatures to the guy who woke up a celestial body eating cosmic whale at 14)
anyway its truly beautiful i absolutely detest these two and have prime liyue AQ hijinks nostalgia now thank you for the lore drop that allowed this to become canon in my head hoyo

Bets and Blindfolds
Pairing: Jason Todd x Reader
A/N: this started out as a silly idea, then ended up as my first dabble into smut? guess that’s the magic of october. ENJOY :) let me know your thoughts on the first 18+ on this account. For those who don’t read smut, we will be back to regularly schedule angst and fluff soon 😌
Summary: As a Dr. Pepper lover, Jason judges your expertise in the soda and it gets kinda freaky? (Don’t judge me, this spiraled)
Tags: sorry to all the dr pepper haters, actually no i’m not sorry, unhinged fic, please don’t take my blog away from me, i was actually drinking a pepsi while i wrote this 👨🏽‍🦳, serial kisser jason, clingy jason?, blindfolds 😏, kitchen freakiness lol, crack fic but also smut?, i must include fluff cause its ingrained in my veins, MDNI 18+ only, no specifications on reader, let me know if i implied any
Word Count: 4.6k
“No, Jay, it’s wrong.” You couldn’t mask the stubbornness in your voice, this was where you drew the line.
“Sweets, I think you’re just hangry.”
Jason sat across from you at a table, the bustling noise of the hole in the wall restaurant around him as he tried to reason with you.
“Look at the color, it’s not dark enough and the flavoring is off.” You eyed him, irritation making your voice fluctuate as you pointed to your drink.
Jason looks down at the cold glass of carbonated soda placed on the table between you. The ice cubes floated in a perfectly fine glass of Dr. Pepper.
“Right.” Jason looked back up at you, unamused at your unwavering need to prove to him that you are a connoisseur of the soft drink.
“You’re judging me, but I’m not backing down on this.” You leaned back in your chair, distancing yourself from Jason despite the limited space.
“Sweetheart, we can get you another drink if you don’t like it.” He reached out to try to pry your hand from your arms lazily crossed in front of you.
You fought against his calloused hand by keeping your arms firmly in place. Only wavering in the soothing rubs on your forearm.
But you were stronger. You’ve grown mentally.
Jason spoke again at your silence.
“Look, I’ll ask them to get you another glass.” He slowly reached his hand up to wave down the man who took your order.
You suddenly reached forward to slam his hand back down, timidly looking back to the man who thankfully never saw Jason’s hand.
Only briefly glancing back at the ruckus you were causing.
“Are you crazy? I’m not a monster, Jay. I can’t send it back, I’ll drink it.” You whispered loudly, not even willing to consider replacing your drink.
In an intoxicating lean, Jason enveloped your hand in his, still amused at the lightning speed you threw his hand down.
“If you wanted to hold my hand that badly, you could’ve just asked Sweets.” Jason smiled into your intertwined hands, kissing the back of yours.
You were about to argue back when you noticed the employee bringing your food. Quietly, you slurped down the unsatisfactory drink through your bent straw.
“Two house specials.” The man sat your plates down, looking in between the grinning expression on Jason and your irritation masked in a polite smile.
After you exchanged “Thank you’s” to the employee, you released your hand from Jason’s warm ones.
“Don’t think we’re done with this conversation cause our food is here.” You took a bite of your food, satisfied in the taste.
“I still don’t believe there’s a difference in the taste.” Jason looked at his food, handing you napkins.
Taking the single sheet, you dabbed at your mouth.
“Says the man who will eat anything you throw at him. You're not a reliable source.” You continued to eat.
“This is a lot of talk for someone who can’t stand certain textures of food—”
“Hey! Well…you're not wrong, but I can prove I know what I’m talking about.” You interrupted Jason, clear offense at the direct verbal shots he was taking on your food preferences.
“How?” Jason raised an eyebrow, enjoying edging at your competitiveness. You rarely got this worked up over many things, but food was always your trigger.
No matter the outcome, Jason felt like he won seeing your new quietly enraged reactions. Maybe affectionately picking on you would be his new favorite hobby.
“Bottle, can, fast food dispenser.” Your fingers raised at each choice you listed. “I can tell the difference.”
You mischievously smirked as you wiggled your three fingers at Jason.
“That’s only three, we need to up the stakes.” Jason watched your face barely falter. “Add zero sugar and have two different fast-food places.”
Jason lifted your last two fingers on your hand, totaling your full list to five Dr. Pepper choices.
“All or nothing, Sweets.” Jason intertwined his fingers again at your raised hand. You didn’t return the gesture as you contemplated—weighing your options.
“Whoever wins gets to buy dinner tomorrow.” Jason swayed your hand, you still didn’t reciprocate his hold, but he didn’t mind as he watched your head turn in thought.
When he felt you grip his hand back, Jason held back a smirk. You clasped his hand in an unconventional handshake, sealing the bet.
“Deal.” You brought his hand to your mouth, kissing the back of his like he did to yours earlier.
Once the bet was put aside, your excitement was in your need to finish your meal. You wanted to get the things on your way home and bicker more at your partner while you laughed and smiled into his arm.
You were thrilled as you stopped at individual fast-food joints and a store to gather each of the sodas on your way back to your apartment. The fast-food employees stared at your collection of drinks despite there only being two of you, but an underpaid worker has only so much care before they’re satisfied in you handing over some cash.
When you placed down all the choices on your kitchen counter, Jason disappeared into the bedroom. Grabbing a thin shirt of his, he folded it to be used as a perfect blindfold.
When you placed straws in each of the containers you nearly jumped out of your skin when you had realized Jason appeared quietly next to you.
With a hand over your heart as you felt your rapid heartbeats, you spoke.
“Jay, your steps remember?” You breathed out, trying to stay still despite how frightened you were at how quiet he can appear.
“Oh, right, sorry. I just brought this so you couldn’t see the choices.” Jason held up the folded shirt to your eyes, tying it to the back of your head.
Your vision went completely dark as you stood near your counter.
The sudden blind fold had you reaching out for Jason with hesitation, but in a quick grasp of your hand, Jason stepped closer. Guiding your hand to his arm.
“I’m right here, Sweets.” He kissed the side of your head.
You quietly smiled to yourself as you felt more secure in the darkness.
As you stood, you could hear Jason switching the can, bottle, and other containers.
As you patiently stood and thought about your current situation, it seemed silly that your night out had ended like this.
But who else would endure your last-minute shenanigans?
“Okay, it’s ready. You have five straws. No touching the containers and the straws are all the same height so no cheating.” Jason spoke as he waved a hand in front of you, making sure you didn’t react.
“Yes sir. I’m ready for the taste test.” You saluted playfully.
After the initial sips, you had narrowed down the test between the last two selections. Unsure which was the bottle and can.
In a sudden boost of pressure, you started to second guess yourself before you took a final sip to decide.
“Wait! I need a palette cleanser, get me some water.” You waved out to Jason.
“Okay, okay. Stop waving your hands, I’m right here.” Jason smiled through his words.
Once the glass was placed in your hands, you sipped the water, carefully washing out the sugary taste in your mouth. Then you took the final sips.
“I’m locking in my answers.” You nodded in agreement with yourself. “Dr. Pepper Zero, the can, fast food option one, the bottle, and the second fast food.”
You smirked. Staring in the wrong direction of Jason.
“I’m over here and your wrong—“ Jason triumphantly stood next to you, smiling at your blindfolded face.
His face was going to hurt from all the smiling by the end of the night.
“What!? No—“ You protested, swinging your body at his voice as the unconscious need to playfully nudge him took over.
Jason couldn’t help himself and laughed, watching you lose your mind at his obvious lie.
“I’m kidding, you got them all right you psycho.” He smiled at your face lighting up despite being half covered.
You threw yourself into Jason again, feeling for his face as you pecked him on the edge of his lips. Happiness radiating off your body as you couldn’t wait for dinner tomorrow.
In your surge of excitement, you slightly bounced at the bases of your feet. You couldn’t see, but Jason was slowly following behind, waiting for the right moment to grab your hand.
Between your moments of glee and celebration, your fingers locked with Jason’s, pulling you back into his muscular body.
It felt solid, secure.
While you basked in the touch of your lover, Jason gazed down at you. Watching the crown of your head as you nuzzled into his shirt. Tracing the blindfold as his thoughts bounced in his head.
You were leaning your head against the slow thumps of Jason’s heart. Tiny pulses that you felt on the side of your face.
Jason reached to you, his fingers hooking underneath your chin to lift your face to him.
In your blindness, you would struggle to freely move about, wondering if you were going to bump a corner, but in this moment, you knew Jason was drawing near.
He pressed a full kiss to your lips and you paused, relishing in his initiation.
The kiss was brief, so soft that you two stood still, faces still so close to let it settle in the air.
You smiled from the feeling, being held, and his pulse slowly rising as your fingers laid on his chest.
Jason, love drunk on you, stared shamelessly at your lips. Eyes glossy as he nuzzled his forehead to you, somehow trying to morph your skin together.
His hair frayed, growing messy at the back-and-forth motion.
You chuckled at the feeling.
“Jay, let me—“
Your thought was never finished before he leaned his head further to the side, his jaw crooked at the right angle to capture your lips once again.
He had taken advantage of your mouth opening to speak as he let his tongue press into yours.
New, deeper sounds were leaving your mouth and his.
Your thoughts were vanishing by the millisecond.
Each time he pressed into you further, you felt your body and head move as well, and you would let him guide you anywhere.
“You taste like Dr. Pepper.” Jason playfully complained, pulling away briefly, but your mind was entirely mush by his exhilarating, yet precise kisses.
He continued to gently hold your face, slowly rubbing his fingers against your skin, despite his complaints. He could say all he wanted, but his flushed ears and the intensity in his eyes looked ready to numb your mind one slow kiss at a time.
“You take that back or we’re breaking up—”
Jason pulled your face closer, cutting off any further teasing threats and wrapping his hands around your accusing finger you pointed at him.
You felt your hand and arm go limp at his touch.
“I actually really love Dr. Pepper.” He immediately responded, leaning into you. You were still blind folded as he pushed you back, getting closer to the kitchen counter.
“Lies.” You answered back in between smooches, nipping at his bottom lip, stirring at his need to keep the leisure momentum.
Jason had lost the bet, but he was celebrating way more than you were.
He suddenly dipped your body back, taking you by surprise as he continued to capture your breath. The pressure of his body into you was euphoric, giving you a small taste into the thoughts he was having, at the possibilities he was setting for you tonight.
It was nice until you were digging your lower back onto the edge of the counter. Tiny rubs against your back that you ignored, but it still ached.
Sensing your discomfort, Jason leaned you back into him away from the counter. He briefly leaned down to let his arms wrap underneath your legs to lift your whole weight into him.
You grabbed onto his biceps, balancing yourself until you tried to feel for the counter underneath you.
While you were momentarily in the air, Jason admired you, taking the chance of your covered eyes to just stare. To let him relish that he was holding someone so precious, so important to his happiness that he didn’t know what else to do but kiss into your shirt, directly over your heart.
A sacred, long, drawn-out kiss was placed to the center of your chest. It held all of Jason’s silent “Thank you’s” to whatever brought him to this moment.
Feeling the warmth, you cradled Jason’s head into your arms, letting your fingers rub at the spot of his neck that you know held a lot of tension from his helmet.
You gave a final kiss to Jason’s hair before you were sat on the top of the counter, your legs dangling off the edge.
Jason’s breathing was becoming hasty, built up from the emotional highs of your shared love and intimacy that he was losing control of his want to take this night slow.
As he silently dealt with his internal struggles, you were focused on trying to feel for Jason.
Your hands met the fabric of his shirt, letting your hands move up his chest as you concentrated on the mounds of each muscle on your fingers and palms.
Each dip and lift making Jason’s chest rise and fall more abruptly the more you moved.
He was supposed to be taking your breath away, but you were the one unknowingly and effortlessly taking away his.
Jason’s head had leaned back to control his thoughts, his veins had bulged in his neck at how tense his body was as you let your hands roam free.
He no longer had any more patience to spare if you continued this a second longer.
While he fought with himself, you felt the hands he had placed on your legs rub harder into you. Each press made your body flinch at the pressure.
You were getting antsy.
When you got to Jason’s collarbone, you traced the curve of his bones. Slowly dragging a finger.
You took a sharp breath when Jason squeezed your leg a little more fiercely, causing the sound in your throat to cast out an unfamiliar voice from you.
You were going to shut your mouth, but Jason had already lifted one of his hands to cup your jaw, tilting your face to the side. Pivoting your faces in opposite angles trying to get even closer than you already were.
You felt his tongue again, but the ferocity of it was immensely different from his previous kiss.
That one was patient, calculated.
This was carnal, desperate.
You were enjoying this new side of Jason. He was always deliberate, intentional, and ready for the unknown, but what he was giving you was raw, hungry.
In another squeeze to your leg, you brushed your hips forward, silently begging for another one of his intoxicating presses.
Without a moment's hesitation, he obliged. Moving his hand further up your leg to give you a firmer grip as he pressed his face into your neck, trying to leave a mark on your skin.
Too lost into the feeling, you threw your head back in the pleasure, bumping your head into the cabinet behind you.
The slight pain had knocked you back into reality.
Jason had quickly lifted his head at the sound, as he held your head.
You laughed at the change in atmosphere, letting Jason nurture your head to make sure you didn’t hurt yourself.
“Sorry, I got a little carried away.” Jason apologized as he panted. The tension in your shared touches not fully gone from him.
You smiled, knowing in your heart that he was worrying too much about you.
“It’s okay.” You lightheartedly soothed him, going back to the intoxicating rubs you had on him earlier. Rubbing at his muscular arms, leaning in to kiss where you could.
You kissed his shoulder and his neck to slowly ease him back into the desire you had for one another.
It was slow, but effective in calming Jason.
“Are you sure?” He hummed, closing his eyes to focus on your touch again.
“Mm.” You kissed up his neck.
Before you could get to his jaw, you leaned in to suck a little harder on his skin, swirling your tongue on the flesh that you hoped would bruise.
Jason lowly gasped at the tiny prick at his throat.
He tried to muffle his sounds, but he didn’t last long before he lightly panted at your soothing peck.
When you reached his face, you kissed his chin, his stubble tickling your own skin.
The feeling boosting your own pleasure at the man held on the palm of your hand.
You licked into Jason’s mouth, moving your arms around his neck to pull him to you.
You continued to kiss him, going back to the languid tension.
In a small pop between your mouths, Jason spoke, slow and relaxed.
“If this is how we act to a small bet, I wonder what would happen if I took you to the Dr. Pepper Museum.” Jason smiled against your lips, speaking in-between longing pecks.
“There’s a museum?” You asked in awe, impassively scratching at the back of his neck, earning yourself a drawn out breathe from him. “Might have to put a ring on you.” You carefully leaned back into the cabinet as Jason kept up his kissing shenanigans on your neck, collarbone, and your arms.
You laughed as the kisses became playful nips at your skin.
“Proposing at the Dr. Pepper Museum? And they say romance is dead.” Jason placed one last mark on the inner of your wrist, completing the affection in a final kiss on your ring finger.
“In Dr. Pepper shirts.” You cradled his face in your hands at your suggestion, smiling at the sudden pause you felt from your lover.
“Oh no, I love you, but we need to draw a line now.” Jason laughed, low and relaxed as he basked in the touch of your hands on his face. Your hands pricked at the subtle itch of his stubble under your palms.
“Your limit is the shirts? That’s where you draw the line?” You laughed back as you reached up behind your head to loosen the knot of the T-shirt covering your eyes. “Just take off this blindfold so I can see you.”
“Nuh uh. I’m not finished yet.” Jason stopped your hands. Gently bringing them above your head.
Your wrists were caught between his singular hand, very loosely, but who were you to try to deny the man his plans?
You were curious how he wanted to continue the night.
With your hands raised above your head, you could focus on the feeling of his hands dragging down your body.
His fingers pausing, opening buttons and zippers to reveal more of your skin.
Each time a new portion was revealed, he kissed the hot skin.
Your senses were elevating each time you felt his lips press down. It was a new feeling that had you gasping.
He lowered himself down further and further. Taking advantage of your inability to see his thoughts and actions.
Your stomach warmed as Jason’s fingers slowly dragged at your revealed skin. Finding the brief warmth in between fabric, caressing you, teasing in a way that got your body following and anticipating the slightest movement of his hands.
It was intoxicating as your lips opened to suddenly try to breathe as his touches made you lose your breath.
As your body slightly squirmed, you were slipping to the edge of the counter. It didn’t help that Jason leaned into you, opening your legs further apart to settle himself snugly against you. Keeping you on the counter, flush against him, unable to move further.
When you did try to move, it only added friction to your already flush bodies, igniting another warmth as his voice lulled close to you.
“Breathe, Sweets.” Jason strained at your movements.
You were going to lose your mind.
His voice was deep, steady as he continued to hold your body in ways that made it feel impossible to do so.
In combination with his warm body slightly mimicking your itching movements, your stomach went taut at the stimulation of everything this man managed to make you feel.
It felt all too much, but not enough.
“So much talk today, but you can’t seem to talk back.” Jason talked against your lips, dragging closer then pulling away. “You can’t even remember to breathe.” Jason smirked watching you flinch at every drag of his words.
In your irritation at him getting too confident and your need for more, you edged your hips against Jason’s waist. Causing a sharp breath from the man standing in between your legs.
“Breathe, Jay.” You murmured back, no longer caring about testing your limits. Or maybe you wanted to test them.
Jason hunched over you, catching his breaths as sweat was starting to coat your skin and his.
In the lost breaths, you may have lost you inability to think, but you still had enough focus to try to make this man lose his mind too.
A small, coarse chuckle resonated in front of you, low breaths landed on your neck, drawing the hairs on your body to stand up.
Jason’s large free hand, rested on your stomach as he irritatingly dragged up your shirt to reveal more of what was already showing.
“I am.” Jason lowered his hand to cup you lower, just below your waist band to rub.
You twitched at the touch over your clothes, exhaling a deep breath that was stuck in your chest.
You were about to lose your entire mind, and he hadn’t even gotten your pants off.
Jason hiddenly smirked as you leaned your head back as much as you could into the cabinet behind you, but you couldn’t move without affecting the friction on your body.
It was a battle between two evils.
“You have two options. My mouth or my hands?” Jason spoke, his eyes dragging up your body watching you desperately taking in breaths.
You were long past being worried about how you looked, spread on the counter. Now you only focused on the need for more feeling.
You could hear his voice fading and resurfacing as you pried your fingers into Jason’s hand holding them up.
“You gotta tell me, Sweets.” He thickly spoke, adding pressure onto your hands, chasing the slight pain your nails dug into him.
He had always loved a little pain in your more intimate moments. Letting your pleasure drag out too long to handle it, until your pants were so guttural you could not recognize yourself, or when the scratches ran so deep into his back that your arms hurt from holding onto him.
“I need to know. Please.” Jason rubbed over your pants, his large fingers moving in various motions and strengths.
That had done it.
“Mouth.” You blurted out, no longer trying to find your voice.
You stretched your neck, your arms, anything to keep you from staying still at his fingers touching you so vulnerably.
Kissing your jaw in thanks, Jason let go of your hands.
“There’s that voice I love.” He murmured into your cheek, hypnotized by the smell of your sweat.
Your arms fell to the edges of the counter as Jason fully unbuttoned your pants.
You tried to not fight the slow pull of the fabric off your body, ready to kick off the pants, but Jason loved taking them off himself.
You had learned that lesson when he had come back a little more intense than usual after patrol and your curiosity got the better of you.
You have never screamed that loud in your life.
As much as you loved that Jason too, there was something so sweet about a patient lover that made you lose your mind in other ways.
After the fabric left your ankles, you had one final layer.
Jason took a sharp inhale at the sight he watched, getting closer to seeing all of you. He was losing his rationality at the anticipation to touch you.
Pressuring himself to wait.
Patience was a virtue.
In your fidgety anticipation, Jason lightly touched you, hand dragging over thin fabric covering you.
You hung your head, suddenly the blindfold felt so heavy.
You gasped, leaving your mouth open to how intense that single stroke felt.
“Oh, Sweets.” Jason inched his finger under the final waistband, lowering it all the way down your legs. Pulling your underwear off one leg at a time.
For a moment you couldn’t feel Jason’s touch as he tucked a portion of your underwear into his pocket.
Jason shook at the garment partially sticking out for his own view.
It was giving him a high that he had to control his shaky hands.
While Jason calmed himself, the cool air was nice against your hot body.
Your nerves were all on edge as you tried to grip onto the counter.
Jason had kept your legs up, using his strength to keep you in place as he lowered himself.
Once his messy hair had touched your lower abdomen and some stray strands had tickled the inner of your thighs, you couldn’t help but let out a sound.
Everything felt so excruciating, but in a way that you wanted more of it.
Craved it.
Jason’s mouth had touched you fully, nothing no longer keeping him separated from you and his arms grasped at your legs to keep you in place.
His large fingers dug into your skin.
You were sure Jason would trace the marks left on you in the morning, but he had another job he wanted to fulfill.
Sweet relief was spreading all over you each time you felt his mouth drag across you, maneuvering his tongue in ways that had you choking out his name in between breaths.
When the counter was not enough, you dragged your hands through his hair. Gaining a very appealing sound from his throat that vibrated through your legs.
You chased the high, battling against your senses to move away and toward Jason’s tongue and mouth.
When the small spark had hit through all your nerves, you knew he was moving in the ways your body always reacted to. That he had repeatedly watched and mastered in getting you to meet the sort of euphoria that had you shaking.
Within a few more scratches and pulling at his hair, your ears rung, and you pressed your eyelids closed despite them never being open the entire evening.
Sweat had encased your skin in a thin layer as your chest heaved.
Jason kissed your lower one last time, your eyebrows furrowed at the overstimulation that still hadn’t left, the sensitivity at its peak.
He was in no rush to move, kissing around your abdomen, leaving marks and nips as he pleased.
You were in no state to focus on any individual kisses, just catching your breath in a sloppy mess.
Jason had raised himself, holding and easing your legs down so he can stand up again. He brought his hand to wipe your sweaty hair and then to pull at the blindfold until it slipped off.
You could only drunkenly squint at the bright kitchen lights when Jason’s head leaned into to block out the brightness.
He pecked at your forehead, creating a path to your eyelids, to the tips of your nose and ending in one final drunken kiss to your lips. Before he could pull away, he nipped at your upper lip, but the pinch was numb as you could only lazily blink up at him.
Your look had Jason slowly smirking, proud of his dedication and meticulous work.
“Let’s finish this in the bedroom.” Jason brought you into his arms, effortlessly caring you to end the night without any rest.

SAUDADE ✦ DR3
Tumblr media
“Saudade” is a Portuguese word that carries a profound and complex meaning, often described as a deep emotional state of longing or nostalgia. It transcends mere language; it's a state of being, an emotion that seeps into the soul and lingers like an echo in the heart. It encompasses a mix of emotions, including melancholy, yearning, and a sense of emptiness, often accompanied by fond memories of past experiences or relationships. In the context of love, "saudade" captures the bittersweet essence of missing someone deeply, even when they are physically present or long after they are gone. It is the ache of the heart that comes from loving and losing, a poignant reminder of the depth of connection and the enduring power of love's impact on our lives.

user1 I wanted to take this space to thank you for the happiness you have brought me over the years. Your music or your works of art have been a constant company in moments of joy, sadness and everything in between. Your talent is enormous, but so is your ability to connect with your fans in a unique way. Your humility and gratitude show that, despite the success, you are still a close and authentic person. Thanks for all that you do!

f1wags It seems Danny Ricc has moved on quickly 👀 Just after a week since the confirmation of his break up with Y/N, a few fans have reported sightings of the driver with actress Heidi Berger —who has been linked to him a few times these past months— around Monaco.
The blonde is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and former Portuguese model Ana Corvo.
This love triangle drama just keeps getting juicier and more complicated! 🔥 What are you thoughts, did the Aussie cheated on his ex-girlfriend as some people say? Did he moved on too fast? or did he do the right thing? Let us know in the comments!

user I actually feel bad for Y/N, not a fan of hers at all but it must be hard to see the man you were talking of marriage with a month ago, move on from your relationship so quickly and easily. if it were me in her shoes, I know it'd really mess my head up 😕
user2 idc if he'd not been with Heidi physically while being with Y/N, it's still treason to be emotionally involved with someone else while you're in a relationship. I believe he already had feelings for Heidi while still being with Y/N because how the fuck can you move on from a whole 2-year relationship in two weeks?? I only hope Y/N is doing okay and that she gets to heal and find someone better for her 😞
user3 you can try to defend him with all the arguments you can think of but at the end of the day, he is still just a rich man. It's funny how you've been all pointing fingers at the innocent while playing lawyer to the guilty.
user4 I'm a Danny Ricc fan but I think this was too fast too soon, at least have some respect for your ex who stood by your side through the highs and lows of the past years, smh so disappointed
user5 Get over it already! He moved on to someone better, as he should. Let the poor man alone! He's been single for weeks! He's allowed to see anyone he wants! Stop whining about it, Y/N just wasn't enough, as simple as that 🤷🏽‍♀️
user6 I'm actually super worried for him, he's not himself lately. Just a few weeks ago he was calling Y/N the love of his life and now this? All jokes aside, I think he's self-sabotaging. He looks like a shell of his old-self, he is not smiling as bright as before, he's super quiet now and if you pay attention to him during interviews, he fidgets a lot and sounds so insecure when asked about his driving. GO TO THERAPY BABE!!!
userA you are reaching, babe! lmaoooo he's fine, he just got tired of that snake 🤪

user7 so all those rumours have been true smh y'all were attacking Y/N nonestop for the smallest interactions with the opposite sex, and none of those rumours proved to be true but I'm not seeing the same energy directed towards him now that the rumours about him were actually true!

Sorry for jumpin your ask box like this. Marinette stans are... a pest to say the least and I wanna rant here because this seems to be like a save space. When I say it here my frustration can't cause trouble for me or anyone else.
I don't care anymore if people say I'm just a stupid salter who hates Marinette, I don't think this show will ever be able to undo the absolute fucking hypocrisy that is Marinette de-transforming and trusting an as good as defeated Gabriel like an absolute damn MORON
When 6 episodes earlier Adrien had to apologize in shame for 'having caused Marinette's disadvantage' against Lila in the class when HE literally still doesn't even know about what happened in the damn bathroom, but Marinette for damn sure KNOWS that Gabriel is an insane and sadistic abuser and terrorist!
And of course Marinette fans are bending over BACKWARDS to talk their way outta acknowledging any kinda truth one could be upset about. Saying that it's not the same cause Marinette is 14 (like Adrien and everyone else, too??!) and is, like, the purest and most wonderful but horrifically abused and misunderstood person who ever existed and that Gabriel not having taken Marinette's generous (empty) offer was totally just Gabriel betraying her pure and angelic heart that tried to do the right thing like the hero she is because 'she's so pure that she was able to see the good in him and wanted to give him another chance 😌'
When, what the hell?? Adrien was and IS being ripped to SHREDS for so much less cause of Chameleon! Just because Marinette couldn't ever confront Lila in a way that goes beyond "point finger and scream and then get upset when that doesn't work for 5 seasons straight"! There is NOTHING anyone can claim that makes the hypocrisy here make sense. Nothing. Didn't she just 'lovingly' patronize Adrien by saying that "sometimes the good we see in other people is only a reflection of our own goodness" and he had to act grateful that she's still able to love him despite his naivety and wrongness?? That was 6 episodes ago! Marinette, where did that energy go now that it's YOU?
Adrien had to 'learn his lesson' in shame and be reprimanded for a good moral advice he couldn't possibly know would backfire because he unknowingly said it about the show's most evil psychopath apparently
But Marinette can seemingly be the most gullible, hypocritical, and illogical moron on the planet, detransforming for no god damn reason in front of the not entirely disarmed and dying mass terrorist, abuser, and magical enslaver who's about to fail and loose everything he ever loved and fought for
But SURE, she totally didn't do Adrien's 'offense' from season 3 just 1000x WORSE, cause, didn't you know? It's ✨Marinette!✨
Her flaws don't matter. In fact, anyone who says she is capable of REAL flaws apparently just mindlessly hates her and strong female characters like her. She can do everything everyone else gets dragged to hell for cuz fuck everyone and everything I guess! Mademoiselle center of the universe might be sad if morality applies to her.
At least if they'd SAY IT that they are okay with pathetic double standards and hypocrisy, but no. Everyone is acting like they're on the moral high-horse by just ignoring everythin that doesn't make Marinette look like the greatest person ever, because it's ✨Marinette✨and we're just mean haters who "don't get it". I sure get that Marinette's fans' and especially STANS' words have lost as good as all validity in my eyes starting with the retooling season 4 because of how incapable of basic self-reflection they seem to be!
btw, I didn't talk to them in this tone. I just wanted to have a conversation with people who say that they think the Marinette and Adrien situations are different and I get nothin but unfiltered hypocrisy and excuses upon excuses! It's just "Adrien was WRONG because Marinette was RIGHT!" with "Marinette was RIGHT but Gabriel was such an awful person to HER that he unfairly punished her pure heart of justice™! 🥺"
Like, get the hell out man. How is any discours supposed to ever exist again after all this??
I apologize again for intruding, I needed to get this off my chest. I still wish you a great day and thanks for providing a place for group therapy 😅
---
Marinette stans love to claim that any consequences for her actions is Marinette being “punished”. They’ve been crying and throwing up about “Marinette getting punished for things that aren't her fault” ever since the original pre-retool series. Even when there's no character to point an accusing finger at, they claim that the writers are punishing her whenever she doesn't get away with something scot free or gets minorly inconvenienced by anything. The idea that Marinette having anything less than a perfect day with every character worshiping her is the same as her getting “punished” has been the basic toxic Marinette stan’s creed for years.
I'm also just going to be really mean: all of Marinette’s good traits that the stans repeat are wildly exaggerated from traits every non-villainous character has. Because, if we take their claims literally, I certainly don't see this “pure heart of justice” and “always helping others” the stans claim she does, because she's too busy moping about or chasing Adrien whenever she's on screen to have the time to help people as much as her stans claim she does. She sometimes helps her friends and family and she saves Akuma victims cause that's her job, but so much more of her life is taken up by worrying about herself.
She's also not strong, physically or mentally. She is not secretly jacked and she has never gotten out of a stressful situation victorious without someone else there to prop her up first. In terms of these things, Marinette is average, “just a normal girl with a normal life”. Marinette isn't weak exactly, but any other “good” member of the cast is the same. She’s not exceptional in these things, but the stans love to claim she’s the greatest, purest, goodest thing that was ever spawned into existence in the world of Miraculous. I know the phrase “strong female character” lost any meaning long ago, but it’s kinda laughable we’re at the point where explicit failures like the season 5 finale are being touted around as signs of strength.
I also agree that the Miraculous fandom just can't handle discourse anymore. Some time ago I saw a post that had someone wondering why there weren't many new analysis posts in the fandom post-season 5 and the reason for that is that the fandom doesn't have space for that kind of analytical thinking anymore. The analysts saw what SentiAdrien would do to the series and, when the fandom exploded into the expected abuse apologia, they left. In addition to that the series can no longer withstand any kind of analytical viewing so the remaining, highly defensive fandom is against questioning what they're watching. You can't enjoy this show if you employ any kind of critical thinking, because the morals the writers elevate are rancid.
Marinette stans have always been like this. I've never been harrassed by ChloĂŠ stans and I used to post some very spicy stuff about ChloĂŠ. Every time I've been harrassed in this fandom, it was done by Marinette stans. The more toxic Marinette stans have always been the worst part of this fandom and now that the writers are pandering to them, they're really bold about pushing everyone else around.

heyy🕺
so I checked your f/o list and I saw not only do u ship w stan but also ford!?🧐 incredibly based😌 since I have gravity falls brainrot this is my obligatory ask about your s/i if you have one👀 if not use this as gush pass🎫
side note: do u prefer being called miya or starshine? because I saw someone refer to you as miya once and that's what I've been doing but you and some others refer to you as starshine so uh I just wanted to check🧍🏽
second side note: are you okay with sharing stanley? I understand if not, I only have 1 tag for him so far (💗: stan💸) if you want to block it. okay done for real🏃🏽‍♀️
@i-put-the-s4p-in-s4pphic
YYAYAYAAAA I've been waiting forever to be able to answer this but I've been so busy with work!!! OH BOYYY IM SO EXCITED TO ANSWERR
Gravity Falls is like one of my all time 'tisms, like I have seen it an unholy amount of times, I've never kept track of just how many times. I used to just have it on 24/7 as background noise around my house. I know this show like the back of my hand and I simply adore it!!! okay so-- I've also been shipping in it since I first got into it, but eventually I wasn't shipping in it anymore and just enjoyed it for what it was-- until I rewatched it in my adulthood.
Now, I used to only ship with Ford, but...well, my crusty old man taste had developed to fruition already in 2021 so Stanley was instantly looking FOOOOOINEEE as hell alongside Stanford. So then it was-- I was shipping with both of them. Separately, though. Definitely needed different canons for it to work, since Ford and I have a much different relationship than Stan and I, but I'm honestly still working on my lore with Ford now that things have changed and that I'm much older. There's just more potential with him in terms of intergalactic/dimensional stuff!
So in terms of Stan and me, we're mostly just very domestic and comfortable outside of the crazy canon lore! I started off working at the mystery shack, helping Stan with his crazy ideas for new creatures and attractions, I also helped out a lot with sales and tours! But eventually we both just clicked and I discovered that I in fact LOVEDDDD that old man. And as it turns out he felt the same too!! He was more hesitant, for obvious reasons. A considerable age gap, the fact that he's a lot more insecure than he lets on, people in general think he's disgusting and conniving and a scammer, but I like his style! I never judged him like that, I get where he's coming from, and we've both been through a lot in our lives so we tend to relate A LOT despite the generational difference. But we're mostly just a very doting couple who makes the dream happen, we hustle and we take care of the twins! And also try to keep them out of trouble, to the best of our abilities. Stan and I are only dating, but if I were to ever have the pleasure of marrying him-- well I'd be honored to be any sort of caretaker figure to them!
Now, me and Ford? Our relationship depends on *when* we met. Currently I have two timeline ideas, but for now I'll focus on one where he's also a crusty old man. We relate a lot as well, just on a different level! We're both giga nerds, love to write and draw, are nervous wrecks but simultaneously too oblivious for our own good. We do have our own version of a domestic life, one that just includes more weird happenings and nerd stuff! Lots of D&D&moreD, talking and theorizing, and a lot of dorky longing looks and late nights of working on stuff together. I'd like to think in this version of myself in Gravity Falls, I'd be more akin to the weirdness and was far more aware of it than I would be if I was with Stan, seeing as Stanley would most likely try to shield me from it than make me aware.
Also you can call me either or honestly!! Miya is my real name so it's more personable (I would be honored if you felt comfortable enough to call me as such!), and Starshine is just a cute nickname that my mans Wonka calls me along with some other mutuals! or if you want another *another* nickname, you can also go with Marnie!
Also I am super duper cool with sharing Stan!!! for so many years...i have felt alone in my Stan loving because he was the "gross" twin that only very few people actually liked 😭😭 So the solidarity and the sharing of joy in this crusty old man is ALWAYS welcome!!!
tysm for the ask once again Frankie!!!! MY BELOVED MUTUALLL <333

8, 14, 22 and 25 for those music asks from hours ago haha
No worries at all for it being from hours ago!!! They’re still fun to get!! 😁
8. Is from an artist I’ve listened to for a while
FIRST THOUGHT IN HEAD IS MARIANAS TRENCH’s Skin and Bones
Like. I remember getting their first CD and playing it and just Fix Me indeed 😌 (disclaimer that I did not get it as it first came out. I don’t know for sure but I feel like I saw their music video probably for shake tramp or celebrity status or cross my heart on MTV and idk convinced mum we should get their cds (they’re canadian after all!) and so we did? I think mum liked ever after? I don’t really remember very well anymore. It’s definitely a bit of a nostalgic band for me and I adore them (even if my honest opinion is that he’d probably sound a bit better live if he stopped jumping up and down all over the stage so much. Still an amazing experience though)) i am now taking this and running with it (i am listening to Marianas trench rn)
Alternatively I mean. Nickelback has been around for longer than I’ve been alive. And by virtue of Canadian radio having to play a certain percentage of canadian artists on radio I’ve been listening to them as long as we’ve driven places. My immediate thought is Just To Get High or the entire The Long Road album but of my liked more recent songs I would choose Sister Sin.
14. I’d make everyone listen to
Ok ok so. Once upon a time [2021 I think] I was driving to [camping spot] and played Polyphia the ENTIRE DRIVE (it was only like 2-3 hours but the longest drive I’ve ever done at the time so I NEEDED the Polyphia to do this (my longest is now 4-5 hours? And I’m still amazed I am fucking amazing for being able to do this I didn’t think I’d ever be able to drive and here I fucking am?!?!)) and uh. Apparently my cousins can’t tell the difference between songs despite me actually playing through their discography instead of looping one song over and over like I usually do. So. Technically,, I already have made everyone in my vicinity listen to:
The Worst Polyphia 😘
Except. Except. It’s actually Abelha Emily Hopkins 😘 like??? On a HARP?!? If I had time and money she makes me want to learn the harp and collect a ridiculous amount of effects pedals 😍💖🥰
22. reminds me of a character
Gosh …I really want to say the entire Sleep Token discography and the characters they play on stage haha ✌️✨
I also can’t help but think of Afraid by The Neighbourhood bc it was on a Sam Winchester 8tracks and launched me into loving them after hating how overplayed Sweater Weather was (I love it now btw) (I saw them live maybe 2019 and it was great but I was much more paranoid about getting a secondhand high/weed induced psychosis off the weed there than I am now)
Also Citizen Soldier’s Scarecrow and the characters we all play in our day to day lives.
…and also the Marianas Trench Masterpiece Theatres where “this is just a part I portray” and other lyrics are just EXACTLY IT.
25. I want to hear in a grocery store
As somebody that works in a grocery store: literally anything that’s not on the fucking playlist they use haha
…actually Love Shack is on the playlist and it may stay bc it is JOYFUL and a reminder of my first and so far only pride parade where I was with all my friends in the shade on the float. So may the Abba songs. And a couple others that I’ve been surprised to hear. But generally I don’t notice the songs very much unless I hate them or the oven is off and I can actually hear.
But I’d love to hear literally any Sleep Token song. Most of them even have no swears or explicit sex references which makes it better than some of the stuff our clientele/coworkers are scandalized by!!!
Or like. Any instrumental math/jazz rock would be AMAZING. also thinking of Polyphia and Ichika Nito here, but I am NOT picky about it give me the good good sounds 🤩💖
Because I start before we open for an hour or two I just play my own music from my phone out loud from my pocket (not allowed to wear earbuds which is kinda fair since I’m fresh food) recently it’s just been looping Nazareth. But I’ve also played sleep token and bad omens albums as well. As well as looping just whichever song I’m vibing with. Notably Abelha and I’ll See You When The Night Comes.
I frequently sing parts of Jaws or Euclid to myself when I’m alone. 🥰

hello world i am awake and have my first dose of daily medications in my system and thus have a lil bit of energy at the moment to just Type My Thoughts Out Into The Void On Here. so here is my non internet/social media life update for all of u today:
later in the day i am finally gonna be able to meet/hang out with one of my longest exclusively internet-based friends of mine after a little under 10 years of us being friends!! im so happy + excited for it but i still have some chores and last minute cleaning stuff i gotta do before he gets here, hopefully waking up a lot earlier than i usually do will give me whatever time i need to finish my part of the household preparations 😅 but yeah!!! he's a mutual friend of both me and Eli (obviously, would not otherwise just be like. hey Eli this person u dont know or hypothetically arent friends with actively is also staying at the house while ur here get used to it HFSGSHSCGSF) and we've been trying to put together some kind of non-internet hangout trip for years and it just didnt work out until this time around.
right before the first global shutdown covid wave back in early 2020 the three of us had been trying to plan a May hangout together that we called "superbirthday" (cus my birthday is may 6 and my friend Jon's, person who is coming here 2day, has a may 26 birthday, so the 20 days in between both our birthdays is 'superbirthday' celebration time 😌✌️) so im like. beyond excited that we've all actually been able to make it happen for real this time!!
i've met up irl now with quite a few of my good friends who were people i originally met online in some way but it's still so surreal in a happy way whenever that happens again. me and Jon originally became friends through the Gmod server "Gmod Towers" (which doesnt even exist anymore it has its own separate game that both me and Jon actually contributed to the fundraising campaign for the devs to develop yrs ago) in like. fall of 2014, if u never played on it back then, it was a really chill fun virtual hangout server world kinda similar to like....imvu/second life, that kinda thing, but on a much smaller scale than either of those and with most playable characters taken from like, the general Gmod Valve Game Character Model List. it was styled like a resort type hotel with different areas of the map having different activities u could do with friends or anyone else around, there was a mini games section and a big hotel lobby where a lot of people just sat in groups and talked with their mic headsets and a hotel room area that saved whatever interior decor u set up in ur room, u could watch youtube vids on a virtual tv and throw parties for the server to come join and be goofy at....Good Times.
ANYWAYS all of that to say, as awful as the general internet experience can be like all the time forever especially in more modern yrs, im really grateful that in my life i've been able to make such meaningful connections and friendships with people online, sometimes in niche lil corners of the internet with dedicated fan followings like Gmod Tower!! i say it irl all the time to ppl but the internet truly Was Not One Big Mistake despite the increasing chaos of the whole big picture concept, being someone who is disabled and had to drop out of school at 14 to quite literally keep myself alive and keep my body/brain from totally failing on me, i genuinely don't think i would have many friends if any at all if i hadn't been able to connect with people online, especially with my Agoraphobia making it very difficult to like. put myself out there in the world.
....yeah! so. thats what i am up to currently. and yes we WILL all be playing Kirby Air Ride for the Gamecube on my Pink Disney Princess TV as a Superbirthday™️ activity. for ur information.

Mermieeee hiiii💖💖💖 hope ur having a good dayyy🥺🥺💖💖💖 hehe, hopefully the week treats you kindly 🫶
For the ask game:
22, 8, and 9
starry, my starshine girlie, hiiii. 🌟🎨 i’m having a great day!!! it’s monday for me—and better now that you’re here. 😌💕
8. which of your own projects have shaped your writing the most? in what way?
i said surrender and a personal project, earlier, but tbh something as well. for the same reasons—finishing it let me see what i was capable of—but also because it like, really cemented to me the kind of stories i like writing. adventurous romances. 🥹
9. what are you best and worst at when writing?
the number one comment that’s shared with me, no matter the fic, is emotional! 🥺 which is a great compliment. 🥹 worst would be hmmmm. i think i have too many blindspots to pick what i’m truly worst at, in my actual writing, but i do struggle with starting. 💀 making myself sit down and do it. everything else—whether it’s like, clumsy characterisation or rushing things or whatever—can be worked on and improved, but an actual creative habit? ugh.
22. how much of your own self/experiences do you believe pours into your projects? if this differs per project, which projects have the most and least of you?
Ohh. I mean—they’re all different!!! Despite the genre—self-insert—i do try to make the Readers their own people. 🥹 But like, even their canon counterparts will end up with tiny mermsisms. 🥺 It’s hard to completely divorce your sense of self from something you’re creating!!! You can only create with what you know, you know? It’s like being given a box of crayons—those are your tools! So for me it’s like: I like flowers, I like art and comics, I like jewellery. I like flowers, so sometimes I buy them from the florist; I like art and comics, so I keep up with industry news and chapter updates. I like jewellery, so I followed some indie artists on instagram and saw their processes. Bam, we have our three Readers. I’ve worked in retail and administration and hospitality; so we’ll throw them all into service-roles. I like people who are kind, who believe in something, who love whole-heartedly—so we get our love interests. I’m a pretty passionate person by nature, with a lot of different interests, so they tend to manifest in the fics and plots and characters in a multitude of ways!!! I’ve been in love and I’ve been isolated and I’ve been held together by tape and rage and other people—i like action films and pulp thrillers. Sometimes people are nice to me when I’m out in the world, getting a iced coffee; sometimes they’re rude. It all goes in, one way or another. Mixed in with whatever the plot needs, whatever the characters need. Whatever would be the most fun or whatever would make the most impact. 🥹

Some Genshin things;
May contain spoilers!!
Just a compilation of random thoughts
Am on mobile and don't know how to format lol
- Lumine is canonically over 500 year old at least, plus from another world. I'd hardly think her people would let her jump from universe to universe, world to world if she wasn't considered an adult... Why can't she have any alcohol?
-Also!!! Why couldn't we have matching outfits with Ayaka made 😭😭😭 Can't we dress her up in different regional Teyvat dress?? Or is her outfit really some kind of magically self clean and mend type??
- I love Qiqi, she's precious and must be protected and despite all the memes of her ruining everyone's 50/50 how come I've been playing since the BEGINNING and she's not even C3 yet???? I SMELL SLANDER.
- The game's premise reminds me of a light hearted adventure anime but really, the world is basically built upon genocide? Kinda weird to think about. One moment we're in a sunny meadow laughing and practicing our elemental skills and the next we're in a quest and see dead hilichurls strewn around. Are we sure this is just a kids game???
- Is it really so bad of Aether to want to help turn the people of Kaenrhi'a back to well... People???
- I can't decide who to ship with who. I kinda ship everyone with everyone and yet also not. It's confusing and I have a lot of AO3 to read through now. Not necessarily complaining though.
- There's a lot less fics of it for some characters than I'd have thought.
- How do artifacts work??? Which ones are good???
- NGL sometimes I do get kinda confused when people genderbend Lumine in fics, like Aether is Right There (no hate or anything just really confused. They're basically made to be the same person, no?) Aether's so cute too 😭😭
- Why do the angsty anemo boys tug on my heartstrings so much. It's unfair.
- WHO TO SHIP WITH WHO????
- Anyone have a Teyvat cookbook bc some of them dishes do be looking delicious af.
- I once read a Zhonglumi fic where he'd used the contract they'd made where'd she'd keep him company in exchange for help to look for her brother, to keep her from traveling to another world with her brother once she finally found him and I was distraught. Like damn that was some fine use of inconspicuous canon lore to absolutely traumatize me. That was a scary ass Zhongli, unhinged yet completely composed. Very good fic tho 11/10 would recommend even if our fave Geo Archon was a bit of a psycho in it.
- Will they/won't they, but it's wether Paimon will actually end up betraying the traveler.
- Why did I turn all my fish into fish.... I want the Catch and the damn fish bow. I already gave Sayu the Fish Lord... It's hilarious.
- Once someone said Dainsleif reminded them of a more mature Howl and now I can't unsee...
- The way Aether clearly was meant to be the traveler.. 😭😭 they could at least have TRIED to make sure Lumines pronouns match throughout the text and dialogue and that the Battlepass Story doesn't always condemn her to basically be the Princess of Darkness. Also since it talks of the first and second crowned heir.. does it mean Lumine is basically the elder sibling???
- I still kinda hope we can get a pet fungi and that all past pets (ahem ahem, like the one (1!!) I missed, the oceanid, ahem ahem) will at some point become available regardless of events.
These are my rambles for tonight, might revisit this at a later time 😌😌

Oct. 19, 2024, Saturday, 60° to 84° cloudy with sunshine later. ￟
Our evening last night was uneventful at the Hunters Lodge: there were no ghosts or haunted, creaky sounds noted and we had a great night sleep! 😌 it was cloudy and warmer today than other mornings, but the familiar headwind continued… 💨💨
The surface also improved after the first 12 miles and it was smooth sailing at least from a shoulder perspective,until we pedaled into Aspermont this evening. We again alternated biking and riding in the car with each of us doing a 10 to 15 mile stretch. Since I know many of you following along are “foodies,” you’ll be happy to know that we are still having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches almost daily for our lunch.😄 I will admit, I do miss riding both of our bikes along the same route with Pat, as we were able to experience the landscape and other interesting sites together, I feel we continue to make the best of the situation since my bike was sent home last week. 😎 I continue to be amazed and humbled by the number of donations to the American Cancer Society Cancer action Network, that we continue to receive. Our total is nearly $7,000‼️🤩🤩
A few nights ago, my cousin Ed, from Kansas, was having trouble with the link & messaged me. I then sent him a copy of the QR code to use and he said that works great. So I am including that in our pictures today if you have had difficulty with the link that I’ve shared previously.
🚴As I bike along, my thoughts often go to this cancer journey that I’ve been on with my amazing family & wonderful friends ☺️….. I have met so many amazing people and have been touched by the kindness, support and prayers of each and every one of you. It is appreciated more than you know. 🥰 so thanks everyone ‼️
We started our ride today at a church called Midway, a name it it got because it’s halfway between Paducah and Guthrie.
Paducah, Texas was named after the Paducah, Kentucky (where there happens to be a famous quilt shop ). An early settler told the town leaders he would give his land to them if they named it Paducah. They accepted his offer, perhaps the first naming rights deal in America. Professional sports teams now sell naming rights for their stadiums (stadia)and arenas so Paducah, Texas was way ahead of its time. 😉
Our first pass-through town was Guthrie, an unincorporated town of about 160 people. However, for such a small town, they had quite a school gymnasium complex. We were able to take a break and plug the bike in at an outdoor plug-in, which was helpful. Across the highway there was a championship calf roping contest, according to the website, but it did not start while we were waiting. Had it been a real Texas rodeo, I (Maria) would’ve had a hard time moving on as I would’ve found it fun to watch. 
Another unique aspect of Guthrie is that almost none of the residents own their houses . Rather it is a “company town” with two large ranches plus the school district providing the housing. Another interesting thing that we saw were the different “brands” that the rancher used to identify their cattle carved into an underpass, along with a small pond of water. This is the first water we’ve seen as most of the rivers have been dry. Today we also passed over the Salt Fork of the Brazos River which lived up to its name: as you can see from the picture, there’s nothing left of that river, other than salt deposits. 😵
Despite the headwinds, wehad a 59 mile ride today, putting us about 280 miles from Del Rio, our final destination. Hard to believe that we should be getting to the Mexican border in less than a week from now!!  thanks for following along and your support of ACSCAN 👍🏼☀️‼️

For our favorite feral elf Fae
Eros 3
Philia 4
Storge 3, 5
Agape 2 (tell us all about his weird ass dogs!!)
Ludus 1, 4, 5
Pragma 2, 4, 5
Philautia 3, 4, 5
oc love asks.
my little Skyrim weirdo. 😌
—
Eros/3: Fae is a BIG fan of PDA lmao. platonic or romantic, he is all about it. he’s very physical and likes to make contact all the time, even if it’s subtle, and he very much likes for it to be reciprocated as well, especially when it comes to significant others. makes him feel good and seen and wanted. so he’s not exactly sure how he fell hard for someone who was not about that (and Fae is very pleased that didn’t remain the case, because it was rough).
Philia/4: it can be difficult for Fae to build relationships of any kind with people who are too different from him, but that’s not entirely his fault. we know how good ol’ Skyrim is, many don’t take super kindly to anyone who isn’t a Nord. so Fae often doesn’t get a chance to start building relationships, period, let alone close ones. plus, Fae can be an… acquired taste, so different or similar, that can also hamper things. 
Storge/3: oof, parental approval definitely factors into Fae’s sense of self-worth, even if he tries to pretend like it doesn’t. growing up he desperately strived for their approval, not even caring if he fell short of his older brother—the clear favorite—just wanting something, but he never seemed to be good enough. always saying the wrong thing, making the wrong choices, bearing the wrong magic.. it’s a sentiment that seems to have followed Fae through his life to date. 
Storge/5: Fae is definitely capable of loving without being loved in return, but it always ends up hurting. he loves his parents despite not knowing of they can still say the same. he really did love his Big Ex even though he was terrible and only in retrospect did Fae realize what he was receiving in return wasn’t love. and Fae was ready to just… quietly love Stenvar when he thought Sten wouldn’t ever feel the same about him. but mostly, outside of some exceptions like that, Fae is wary of most love or kindness for that matter. he’s grown to learn that more times than not, it is transactional. someone always wants something out of it… 
Agape/2: the wood elfiness in this one is strong, yes has a deep connection with nature. he kinda mostly left the ways of the Green Pact behind when he left Valenwood, but the connection still remains. being out in nature revitalizes him. and also yes, he loves creatures of all kinds, including his… dog. 😂😂 Fae came back from Solstheim with two companions in tow, one of them being Teldryn, the other being a nix hound that Fae adores and makes out to be just like a regular dog despite it uhhh. looking like that. he just ‘dog :)’ at anyone who asks questions. 
Ludus/1: I’m not sure Fae really uses pickup lines. what counts for that in his book is like… teasing (often verging on straight up just being mean lmao) or innuendo, or some combination of those things. as flirty as he is, he’s not really smooth enough for anything else. it’s a very good thing he’s pretty. and if he ever does suggests flirting tips or lines to use, it’s probably best not to listen to his ‘advice.’
Ludus/4: Fae’s first crush was on a guy from his village in Valenwood, who also happened to be one of his brother’s friends. a surprisingly appropriate choice considering the questionable dating history he ends up having. that crush did go a little somewhere, with Fae years later being like ‘haha I used to be so into you,’ and it leading to some… fun (cue Fae’s brother just deeply sighing lmao).
Ludus/5: a better question would be what seduction techniques don’t work on Fae. the dude is easy lmao. but he likes banter (see: the way he ‘flirts’), that usually gets him going well enough, as do compliments. but as it turns out, Fae is actually like… really into more classically romantic gestures and actual genuine attempts at his heart, and not just attempts to get him in bed.
Pragma/2: one of the biggest challenges in his relationship with Stenvar is just like… staying in it. see the below answer, but Fae tends to freak out when things get too serious and implode a relationship before the other person can (inevitably, as he sees it) end it and hurt him first. but that uhhh does happen. Fae ends things with him. that’s really the start of a whole lot of other problems, and a biiiiig mental breakdown from Fae, though. and that’s probably the bigger challenge. Fae has uhhh, a lot of trauma that he hasn’t begun to work through, and canon Skyrim events only exacerbate that more. when they eventually do get back together, Fae needs to be able to like… not keep shutting Stenvar out. 
Pragma/4: it’s hard for Fae to get past the ‘initial fiery passion’ stage of a relationship. once it starts to settle into something more comfortable, that’s usually when Fae gets scared and ends up cutting and running, so they don’t really make it past that stage. but what ends up being the thing to keep him in a longterm relationship is finding someone who is understanding and patient. Fae doesn’t always make the best or least impulsive choices, and so to have someone who will communicate without just condemning him means he is far more likely to stick around.
Pragma/5: Fae has never thought of himself as the marrying type, he doesn’t think it’s for him. but that’s tied in with a lot of previously stated stuff, like his shit history with men and his feelings of inadequacy, as well as hating feeling tied town, be it to a place or a person. but once Stenvar came into his life, Fae’s tine about that started changing. which was… more than a little terrifying for Fae and he didn’t necessarily handle it well, but… they figure it out in the end, and Fae decides that he very much would like to get married.
Philautia/3: outwardly Fae is very ‘I’ve never done anything wrong in my entire life,’ and he always has excuses to ‘justify’ what he’s done. sometimes he’s right, sometimes he’s pulling things out of his ass to try not to get in trouble or take the blame. he’s also pretty quick to judge others, not wanting to give anyone the benefit of the doubt even when he often wants that himself. so the standards by which he judges himself and others is a little all over the place. but also inwardly, Fae has himself held to quite high standards that he doesn’t really expect from  others but feel have been placed on him by people in his life, and he needs to reach those heights to make those people happy, so it could be why he gets so defensive when that’s not happening, and it’s definitely why he feels so much guilt over it.
Philautia/4: what Fae likes best about himself is probably that he’s clever. he thinks on his feet well and is able to come up with some creative solutions to problems, or ways to avoid them entirely, and it’s served him well in life and in the path he’s chosen as a thief. it annoys the hell out of him that other tend to overlook that about him and wrote him off, and it’s also why like… Fae takes it really hard when someone does manage to outwit or get the better of him. he should no better. he should see it coming. 
Philautia/5: Fae’s opinion of himself has changed over time, mostly in that it’s degraded. since he was young he’s been led to believe that he is… subpar, and Fae has come to believe that about himself. every time he starts to feel like that’s not the case, something always happens to reaffirm that he was foolish to think otherwise. but Fae has been surrounding himself with better people, which definitely helps, and also… he runs off to Solstheim for a while, which is born from a messy string of incidents, but it gives him a lot of time to think about himself and stuff, and he comes back better for it.

I WANT TO MAKE A REQUEST BUT PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME DOING ITS 😌
I would like to request Kanto Manji (literally obsessed with them) with a omega male reader and like Kanto just hardcore simps for him? Kinda like your nurse reader!! Like reader is out with Kanto at a restaurant or a bar and a group of guys start flirting with him, and when Kanto notices they beat the shit out of them and then take the reader home and cuddle with him and all fluffy and Kanto being flirty also coz well KANTO and jejsjdnqna  ohh! And omega verse coz your omega verse writing has me obsessed 
Take all the time you need smh! How’s your mom? My girl lily? HOW YOU?
Tumblr media
HIIIIII
and my goal is to give a different look on omegaverse! And my mom's good! She's cleared to work! Lily is good, she's just angry that we have to cut her treat intake sadly and I'm decent despite well everything!
Tumblr media
The club was booming as (name) say at the bar, sipping a drink Ran ordered him while he waited for his mates to finish their work while one of their jackets was draped over him as a warning to back off Kanto Manji's omega.
Normally they had their sweet omega with them, sitting on one of their laps as they conducted their work as the pharamones of an omega had incredibly good affects on an Alpha, making them more level headed than usual.
Tonight didn't require that though, having their omega sit tight while they handle things.
"Hey pretty~" a voice rang out behind him, (name) not recognizing the voice and normally people wouldn't talk to him anyways due to the jacket, glancing the men looked foreign and most likely didn't recognize the Kanto Manji jacket with Mikeys name scrawled upon it "what are you doing here all alone?"
"Waiting for my mates..."
"Mates? How bout you come form a pack with us pretty? We can treat ya reaaal nice~" the man's drunken words made (name) bristle and glare at them "no thank you" he said curtly before returning to his drink.
Wrong move apparently as the alpha made a grab at his shoulder, only to scream in agony as Mikey's death grip shattered it like it was made of styrofoam.
The kanto manji gang was fuming as pharamones leaked from them in heavy waves, pure rage.
It reeked of blood and soured grapes.
The scent put poor (name) into an anxious state as his alphas "handled" the alphas who dare to even speak to their beloved omega, when they returned he was passed around each of their laps and scented thoroughly and given sweet kisses and gentle words.
Couldn't have their baby think they were angry at him.
No, never at (name).
They took (name) to his nest, a designated room with all the bells and whistles to it "alphas... Stay?" (Name) whispered softly as he reached out to them and this is the only time Kanto manji would admit they were weak.
Mikey was first as he snuggled (name) and kissed him gently and the others followed suit with warm cuddles and soft kisses "such a good boy, our prettiest little omega... We love you baby"
(Name) was hazy as he softly returned the gestures, sweet pharamones leaving him in waves, the scent of safety and love leaving him "love...alphas..." He managed out as he snuggled into someone's chest dreamily as the men agreed silently to never have their angel be left by himself again.
To risky.

would love Clexa 46, please 😌
“You’re jealous of Finn? Finn? Seriously?”
“I’m not jealous,” Lexa retorts curtly. Her jaw feels like it’ll snap from how hard she clenches it, but it’s nothing compared to how tightly she grips the glass in her hand. It’s a good thing it’s made of witch glass, because she knows anything human would’ve shattered and cut her skin by now.
“Do all humans lie this badly?”
Lexa looks away from the source of her poor temper and glares at the witch mocking her. “This doesn’t bother you?”
Raven laughs at the very notion. Her hair is an inky black, but there are twinkles in it like stars in the sky. Her dress is a gorgeous deep blue, the perfect embodiment of tonight’s winter solstice celebration. “Finn couldn’t flirt to save his life,” she says. “He has two lines in his arsenal and one has the word kernel in it. If he ever did want to try his luck elsewhere, I’d get a snack to witness it.”
Lexa frowns. “You trust him that much?”
“You don’t trust Clarke?”
“Of course I do. But I don’t believe that a man who dated two of the most brilliant witches I know could be that uncharming.”
“They were sixteen," Raven emphasizes. "Best friends from childhood. They were each other’s solution to loneliness at the time. Witches aren’t schooled like you are, divided by age or class. Clarke was already learning alongside incredible potion makers, but most were twice her age. Finn was already his father’s apprentice in the workshop. They explored a new side in their relationship because it was comfortable and easy, but it didn’t end in the dramatic heartbreak you think it did.”
“Comfortable and easy might be the complete opposite of our relationship.”
“Well don’t you think it means something that you’re fighting so hard to make it work? It’s 3AM and you’re all dressed up for an event you didn’t even know about last year. You’ve got a final in twelve hours and I can tell you’re a hard worker. But still you’re here at your girlfriend’s best friend’s party getting to know her world.”
“And yet I feel like I’ll never know enough.”
Raven takes the glass from Lexa’s hand, setting it aside on the buffet next to them. “Is that what’s really bothering you? You think we know her better?”
Lexa worries her lip. “You understand her magic in a way I can’t. It’s a hugely intricate part of her and I… I don’t get it. In a superficial way maybe, what she does and how she does it, but not at the core. Not how it feels. How could I ever hope that’s enough?”
“And she doesn’t know what it’s like to be fundamentally human. To have a looser grip on her emotions. You’re different and you’ve always known that, but you got together anyway, didn’t you?”
Lexa nods as her eyes find Clarke again, watching her talk with Finn over a plate of blue-tinted treats. She remembers seeing her like this the first time, just chatting with someone else across the garden. There was always something about Clarke Griffin that called to her. That made her body gravitate closer to her. She feels the same pull tonight despite the lingering worry in the pit of her stomach. They’ve never had it easy, and she suspects they never will, but what they do have is strong. Lexa can never lose sight of that.
“Excuse me…” she tells Raven before walking toward Clarke.
She’ll thank Raven properly for the advice she always seems to give her, but for now there’s only one thing she can think of doing. And as Clarke turns to her before she’s even closed the space between them, and grins so lovingly it has Lexa’s heart pound, she finds that nothing could stop her.
“Hey, babe, we were-”
Lexa kisses her in one fell swoop, both hands on her waist, with little concern for anyone around them. It’s not like her at all – they both know it – and maybe that’s what makes it so tempting. Or maybe it’s just that kissing Clarke will never feel embarrassing, no matter the setting. For once, Lexa feels like making a show. A claim. Later she’ll question the terribly possessive urge – though she’s pretty sure it’s another one of her fundamentally human traits - but for now she gives into it.
A little while ago, Clarke kissed her. Chose her. Lexa can’t help but feel proud of it, and in turn she’ll always make sure Clarke feels the same. Their bodies align perfectly and soon Clarke’s hand is on her neck, in the same spot it was this morning, when she woke her up with a dirty kiss and a few choice words, ones that had Lexa feeling just as hot-blooded as she does now. There are days when it never stops. It’s said to be the nature of most relationships between humans and witches, but Lexa thinks they would be the same if she were a witch.
“I shouldn’t be encouraging this kind of behavior…” Clarke tells her, slightly breathless, though she sounds very much like she wants to. Finn has already shuffled somewhere else, and maybe tomorrow Lexa will regret acting so rudely.
Maybe.
“It feels like you are,” Lexa answers with a smile, feeling the way Clarke leans into her, unwilling to let go.  
“Mm you know me too well,” Clarke sighs fondly before kissing her again.  
Lexa wonders later if Clarke overheard what she talked about with Raven, or if she's simply that intuitive when it comes to their relationship. She doesn’t know everything about magic, but she knows Clarke. She knows how she likes her breakfast and what her favorite sweaters are. She knows that perfume makes her sneeze and that cinnamon makes her nose twitch. She’d know her voice in a dark, crowded room. And she hopes to spend the rest of her life knowing her better.

I know you must be fed up with these type of questions but this really confuses me.Why did Finn get away with everything but not Rachel? They was both creators favs right? Yet Rachel always got called out and humiliated ( despite getting her way) yet finn didn’t do you think it was because he was a guy? We all know the writers was sexist
Bold of you to assume I'll ever get tired of calling out the writers' sexism and particularly their treatment of golden boy Finn 😌
Here's the thing: the fans so often treat Finn and Rachel as if the narrative had them on the same level. It didn't. Rachel was the main character if we had to say and the original three pillars of Glee were Will, Finn and Rachel but there's markedly a difference between how Finchel's characters were treated. The fans see Rachel get all the solos and overall, despite some bumps in the road, get everything she ever wanted, and think that equals Finn's infuriating never called out, never dealing with consequences treatment. I personally think they're very different in this way.
Was Rachel also treated in a special way, sure. But Finn is on this pedestal both in and out of universe, the popular kid who graces these losers with his light. I’m only slightly exaggerating in that. And yet Rachel, the main representative of our underdogs, is the one the show thinks needs humbling. I mean, she kinda does, but Finn is never treated like the other popular kids are. They’re all ~problematic~, bullies and shallow and etc. And make no mistake, Quinn does not get the Finn treatment and nor does Santana or Puck or really anyone else. Puck being the key ch here as another guy, who is treated overall better by the narrative imo but Finn’s pedestal seems like a special one here.
What I’m getting at is that, imo, it was only a sexism thing as much as it was a character type thing. Were they genderswapped and the main leads were a loser guy and a popular girl, idk how different it would have been. And that’s not me dismissing the very real fact that Finn got away with murder because he was a guy as that aspect of his character is part of why he was the golden boy to begin with. Again, look at how the Cheerios were constantly villainized for similar things. But maybe sexism doesn’t explain all of it? And tbh I feel like comparing Rachel to Finn doesn’t really tell us just how much he was favoure dby the writers. Because Rachel was as well but in more obvious and, dare I say, understandable aspects. She gets the most songs because Lea Michele gets the most songs. But Rachel also had so many more learning moments. And lest we forget, the show explicitly states many times that Finn is an oh so much better person than she is. All that despite the receipts of Finn’s actions.
Wow, this is getting away from me. So I’ll just add this: on a character and in-universe level, it strikes me how differently they reacted to accountability. And look, do I have a Rachel bias here? Of course, I love her and famously dislike Finn more every day. But when Rachel messes up the narrative treats it as such and she's told she sucks. She acknowledges her flaws, apologizes most of the time and shows such humanity. Rachel is very flawed and her flaws are such that she often treats others less than ideally, but she has these come back to earth moments. And Finn never really has that accountability, to the detriment of his character.
So, TL;DR: is it because he was a guy? Not just that. There’s a mountain of difference between Rachel’s and the other girls’ treatment, too. But his status as the popular guy, the “nice” guy does play a role. At the end of the day it’s just that the writers envisioned Rachel as a flawed character who needed humbling and Finn as someone who just needed a space to show how great he was, imo. In that sense, Rachel wasn’t as much of a favourite but it worked out better for her anyway.

Into the Dark
Chapter 6
Dear diary, I know Damon is somewhere on the other side watching me. There’s times I think that I see him, hear him, and even feel him. I don’t want to give myself that kind of hope right now, I’m not in the head space for it. Today is the funeral, and I don't want to go. I said that I would, so I will. The whole town will be there, Caroline’s mom Sherif Frobes made up some story about how there’s been a murder going around slashing the towns people. People who aren’t in my inner circle will ask me dumb questions: “Are you okay?” “How are you?” “How are you holding up?” Different phrases, but they all mean the same thing. It’s something people who have never experienced loss ask because they don't want to feel guilty about not saying nothing at all. A selfish, reflexive response, eventhough I want to snap, and tell thouse people to fuck off, I won't. Insted, I’ll smile, and say “ Thank you for asking, but I’m fine.” I will lie, and laugh. I will reminisce on the good times, despite the fact I'm screaming, and dying on the inside.
–Blaise
I can’t figure out for the life of me why Sherif Forbes decided to make this a public display, but she feels it's for the best, especially since Tyler’s mom Carol Lockwood is known by the whole town. Which logically makes sense for the citizens to be allowed to mourn their now dead mayor, but they will never be as devisted as Tyler. And now we all have to share our grief in front of the whole town like charity case children…fantastic.
“Ugh, it’s sad…isn't this the second time you’ve watched your mother die?” Caroline said, her tone disingenuous, I looked up from the snack table to see her spiteful eyes looking back at me.
“Hmm, maybe I should stab this fork through your mother’s eyeball so you can know what it feels like. Maybe I should turn her into a vampire, and then shove her ass out into the sunlight. Or maybe, you can leave me the hell alone.” I spoke calmly, Caroline teeth clenched, her hand gripping the wine glass in her hands, I guess my theory about her emotions being turned off was wrong. I would actually kill Sheriff Forbes, but if Caroline pushes the right button I might.
“You wouldn't dare.” Caroline challenged me, I swiped a fork off the food table in front of us, and stabbed it into some cold cut sandwiches. I didn’t bother giving Caroline any more of my words, I flashed my teeth at her as I turned, and walked off in the opposite direction.
I weave my way through the townspeople, and finally make it out the back of the Lockwood house, and into their backyard. There are some people spread out around the yard talking quietly, gossiping about Tyler, and the Lockwood family. Which I prefer they talk about him, it’s his turn to get dragged by the public.
I was about to go talk to Bonnie when someone else caught my attention, if it weren't for my acrylics my fist would be balled tightly.
“Blaise Laurent, I was wondering why that name sounded so familiar, I know your father.” Roland spoke softly, a coffee brown skinned woman by his side. She’s beautiful, and her belly is full, and round. I can hear her unborn child’s heart beating with content, for a moment a feeling of purity comes over me, and suddenly my mood feels a little less dark. Roland stepped forward blocking my site from her, this is probably the wife he mentioned last time.
“Got some nerve showing up here, what do you want?” I cut right to the chase, Roland has no idea how lucky he is that I’m not a child killer.
“All I want is to take my family home, and you’ll never hear from us again.” Roland claims, but I don't believe that will be the case.
“Well, what’s stopping you, you could have left like five months ago. Ya know, the night all our loved ones died?” I folded my arms over my chest, Roland shifted his weight uncomfortably. Good, he felt guilty because of the bullshit his family caused.
“I can’t leave without my youngest..Rebekah, I was told you know of her location.” He didn’t even look me in my eyes, always looking through me, but not at me.
“Huh…I forgot about her. No.” I said, that caught his attention, the woman behind him had peeked around his shoulder grabbing him by the arm. Maybe to calm him, or warn him.
“No?” Roland asked, confused.
“No, as in access denied.” I said, he chuckled slowly, now it’s my turn to feel confused.
“I’m sorry that was not a joke.” I said, I can hear Bonnie calling from behind me, but I ignore her.
“Bloody hell, and Stefan said you were reasonable.” Roland puffed air from his cheeks, his hand reached up to smooth over his dark brown curls in frustration.
“Stefan is an idiot, so I suggest you don't rely on information from wikipedia Roland.” I rolled my eyes, my tone harsh, and my patience slowly starting to dwindle.
“Blaise please-” Roland started but I cut him off.
“No, listen to me, and you hear me good. Your cow of a sister is rotting in a grave where she will be forgotten about like she deserves that's first of all. Second of all, your siblings, take everything from me, and my friends. Take our parents, our friends, our relationships, so I’m taking one of yours.” I felt hot, and I have not felt this angry in a while. Roland opened his mouth to respond, but the woman behind him pushed him aside.
“I’m Cardíerre, I won't pretend that I know what you're going through, but I can see the love in you. I can see the passion in you, and I hope you find your peace.” Cardierre spoke softly, a look of sympathy in her gray eyes, she pulled Roland away by the hand.
“That seemed intense, you okay?” Bonnie asked, she placed a hand on my bare shoulder.
Back in the house I could hear Caroline call for everyone to come back inside to start the service, I rolled my eyes at the sound of her voice. Without another word I turn to head back into the house, and Bonnie silently follows after me.
What shocked me most…is the open caskets with their bodies inside, this is not how I wanted to see Damon, or my mother. A sharp pain passes through my chest, I lean forward to hold onto the seat in front of me, I was about to turn to leave when someone grabbed onto my elbow. I turn to my right to see Matt wearily staring back at me, I turn to my left to see Bonnie, Elena, and Tyler.
“We’re here together.” Elena spoke, her voice low, but I heard her.
“Just breathe.” Matt said, a reassuring smile across his lips. He’s always been so sweet to me, he squeezed my hand, and I squeezed his back in return.
Later on that evening, Tyler drove Elena, Bonnie, Matt, and I to Elena’s house. My dad followed behind us in his own vehicle, no one wasn't too sure what to speak about so my dad started cooking food. I wandered into the kitchen and decided to help without saying a word, suddenly my father started laughing. I stopped chopping the sweet potatoes to watch him, I was worried he was losing his mind.
“Um…” Placing the knife carefully on the kitchen counter, I turn my attention to him.
“Seriously dad you’re freaking me out.”
“I’m sorry baby, it’s just I realized these kids have never had soul food before.” My dad’s laughter finally sobering up, he wipes the tears from his eyes, and takes a moment to catch his breath.
“You know what, you’re absolutely right…how blessed we are to have the best chef in Louisiana cook for us.” I grinned widely, his lips parting to flash his teeth back at me.
“Damn right cherie.” He winked at me playfully, and we went back to cooking. The rest of the night went smoothly, and for once I felt at ease. Elena, and Tyler scarfed down most of the food. We all just sat around talking, eventually, Matt, and Tyler went home. That left Elena, Bonnie, and my dad.
“Before I go ladies, it’s something I want to mention to you…I’m thinking of getting the covens back together. You don’t have to answer right now, but at the end of August I’ll be heading back home to Louisiana. You three are more than welcome to join, or not.” He said, I was shocked, but I'm not surprised, if he plans on bringing witches here…it’s what Mystic Falls needs. This town has become overrun with vampires, it would only be a matter of time before the scales are balanced. He kissed me on the forehead, and patted Elena, and Bonnie lightly on their heads.
“Stick close to each other, if you need me, all you have to do is call.” He said as he’s half way through the door.
“Let’s just all sleep here please.” Elena shrugged her shoulders getting comfortable on the couch with me, and Bonnie took the loveseat by herself. That night I dreamed of Damon…this is the most bliss full sleep I’ve had in a while.

how do you feel about morgwen's falling-out? haven't seen any talk about that
Ooooh yes good question anon😌
Short answer: their falling out gives me pain, but I also think it had potential to be even angstier.
Long answer:
Ok so season 1 & 2 we have our morgwen happy as can be. They are the best of friends despite status and we have been shown that they will do anything for the other.
Season 3 happens, and we see our lovely morgwen start to fall apart and oh the pain.
Personally, I feel upset about Morgana and Gwen’s falling out because of how close they were to each other in the previous seasons, but then in season 3, suddenly, it’s not as important anymore until the season finale. 
Also, I feel like Morgana framing Gwen as a sorcerer just to get her out of the picture w/o an ounce of hesitation or regret was a little ooc. This is just me of course, but after seeing how much they cared and how far Morgana was willing to go to protect and care for Gwen (for example hiring an assassin to kill Uther after he killed Gwen’s dad and begging Uther to save Gwen in s2 when bandits kidnapped her instead of Morgana)....Morgana being okay to have Gwen be accused of sorcery just because she saw a vision of her on the throne with Arthur feels off. And then she expects Gwen to still be loyal to her once it is found out that it was Morgana who was the one that almost had her executed.
What I’m saying is that based on their dynamic and relationship shown previously to be very close, Morgana should not have been as determined to kill Gwen as she was in Queen of Hearts (ep 3x10). Personally, I feel like Morgana would try to sway Gwen to her side rather than kill her (like she did in the season 3 finale, but that just ended up feeling empty after what happened to Gwen only two episodes before). Gwen already has a vendetta against Uther. He killed her father solely because he housed a sorcerer without knowing said guest was a sorcerer. I highly doubt that Gwen ever forgave him for that. Also, Gwen had already been accused of sorcery in s1, so Morgana could use that to sway Gwen in a way.
I know that by s3 Morgana didn’t care about Uther or Arthur or Merlin, but she still cared about Gwen. Gwen was a constant in her life. Her only friend for a long time, so I doubt she would be so quick as to frame Gwen of using magic.
Anyway, I do think the falling out of morgwen had potential, but I feel like it needed some work. I always get really upset about friendships falling out just because these are people who have been so close to each other for who knows how long, but soon their dynamic changes and they can’t seem to click anymore. It’s angsty, it’s tragic, but it’s a really good relationship arc to see.
In s4’s finale, we can hear the anguish in Gwen’s voice when she asks what she has done to make Morgana hate her. And Morgana only says it’s what Gwen will do that makes her hate her once dear friend. (edit: which is a fucking gut punch of angst and would be even more impactful if s3 gave more focus on morgwen’s falling out).
By s5, Morgana and Gwen are no longer friends. They are far from it, actually, and I doubt that anything from their relationship would ever mend now. Morgana tortured Gwen until she was a helpless pawn for Morgana’s plans. Looking from there to where they started is just tragic, and should have been explore more.
Personally again, I think if we saw more of their relationship drifting apart in season 3 it wouldn’t feel as unnatural and off kilter as it felt in the show. For example: 
Morgana starts noticing how close Gwen is getting with Arthur. This is something that confuses her because Arthur, to her, is enemy by association. Uther is his father and is anti-magic and Arthur has shown not enough proof that he is any different from him. She starts to asks her friend questions. They are subtle at first but as the season goes on they get a little more nosy, a little more accusatory.
Morgana doesn’t understand. How can Gwen even begin to like someone who’s father is the reason why her own is dead? Arthur stood by and did nothing! It was Morgana who fought for her. It was always Morgana who spoke against such atrocities. Never Arthur.
Gwen is upset with Morgana’s questioning. She doesn’t understand why this has bothered her so much. Doesn’t she know that the faults of someone’s father does not mean that they too are at the same fault? They start having mini arguments that soon become heated and loud, and eventually, the room is always stifled whenever they’re together. Gwen stops answering her questions.
Morgana sees the vision of Gwen on the throne (this time a little earlier than the queen of hearts episode). It’s not terrible. She looks happy. It’s been a long time since Morgana has been privy to one of her maidservant’s bright smiles. Then dream Gwen looks to her right, and Morgana sees Arthur on the throne next to Gwen’s. She wakes up screaming.
From then on, Morgana does everything in her power to stop the two of them from being together. She tells Morgause that it’s because the throne should be hers and hers alone. She doesn’t tell her sister the second reason.
She begins by seeding doubt in Arthur. He was always insecure about many things. It had frustrated Morgana before. How one little word from his father caused him to shut down. She had always wanted to scream and shake his shoulders to make him understand how wrong Uther was. Before, she would try her best to tell him, to show him that he can be someone worthy of great feats without his father’s approval. Now, she’s glad the cracks are there, and she prods into him like she always does, but this time it’s not to help him. This time, she wants to see him crumble and fall.
This time she plants more doubt instead of that passionate reassurance and self-righteous will. She tells him about whether he’s truly sure he can love Gwen. Could he really put away his responsibilities of Camelot for a serving girl? That’s not fair to Gwen is it. To string her around while Arthur is still a prince only to drop her once he’s king. It’s not honorable and in no way noble. She plants those seeds the best way she can and waits for them to fester and grow. However, she forgot one thing in her plan for making Arthur doubt. He isn’t alone anymore.
She tries the same for Gwen, but her maid is too confident, too strong willed to let doubt enter her mind now. Morgana always admired that about her, but now it’s just frustrating. Not even a threat from Uther to the both of them seemed to deter their relationship. They’ve just become more secretive.
Gwen doesn’t talk to Morgana like she usually did. Their relationship is a professional one, and Morgana can feel her rage festering. (She doesn’t know that Gwen feels the same pain she does, but Gwen just can’t be close to her like before. Morgana has changed, and Gwen fears it’s too late to stop it.)
Morgana begins to hate Arthur more. No longer just by association. He took Gwen from her. He took her closest friend. How dare he! Gwen is hers. Forever her bright sun, forever loyal. What he has done is unforgivable.
When she and Morgause take over Camelot, Morgana tries again. She tries to show Gwen that what she’s doing isn’t bad. Who’s bad is Uther. Uther Pendragon is the cause, and she’s only bringing justice. Gwen fears Morgana has already lost that goal, but she stays silent. She allows Morgana believe Gwen is still loyal until she and Leon flee to where Arthur is and take back the kingdom.
Gwen....her sweet, darling sunshine...Gwen left her. And Morgana cracks.
So yeah....uh, that’s how I personally feel like what would make their falling out a little better since it definitely had the potential but not everything was there, in my opinion.
I do get really upset about their falling out only because of how close the show had them be. So, if they really want us to believe that Morgana would want to hurt Gwen, maybe they could have drawn out them drifting apart.
And those are me thoughts. I do apologize anon that I sort of went off on a tangent there soooo😅. I just wanted to show how I would have done their falling out in s3. I also apologize if it’s a little incoherent and rambly.
