the gifted | 5sos greek mythology!au
are you ready to face your destiny?
the gifted are children of eight different greek gods. they are called 'gifted' because, from the union of a mortal and a god, they have received the divine gifts.
the eight gifted kids live in mount olympus with their godly parents, learning to control their powers. but everything changes when they are called to zeus's palace for a mission. they will be sent to planet earth with their name and their mortal surname to face a superior evil, who is spreading panic in the mortal war.
there, they will have to adapt to their new high school life, to live together, and to go by unnoticed. everything is easy until that evil which they have to fight appears in their lives.
will the gifted be ready to face their destiny and complete their mission?

hell yeah @allsassnoclass tagged me to post snippets from WIPs with the words "warm," "heavy," "almost," and "talk" !! let's fucking go. fair warning: these WIPs are for the assorted fandoms of 5sos, percy jackson, teen wolf, supernatural, and hawkeye/mcu. okay lessgo.
warm
supernatural:
Dean feels warm as he tightens the knot on Cas’s tie and leans away. “Is there something I'm missing?” Sam interjects. “No.” Dean and Cas, simultaneously.
5sos:
"Michael, this water is perfectly warm," Luke calls over. "You've probably been using the wrong handle." Michael turns on his heel and scurries over to the sink. He sticks a finger in the stream; it's comfortably lukewarm, despite the fact that only one faucet handle has been twisted. The one for cold water, Michael is sure. Pretty sure. "The hell?"
heavy (none of my open WIPs had this word damn dude i had to break out the summer camp fic for this one!!)
“Yeah, it looks like a lot of heavy lifting,” Michael says distastefully. “That’s why I’d never do it. I’m not so bad with A/V stuff but between an air-conditioned office with constant access to the internet and having to be out in the sun all day doing physical labor, it’s a no-brainer.” “Yeah,” Calum says. He laughs. “Well, that’s how we’re different. I like the time in the sun. And the physical labor really isn’t so bad. We’ve got golf carts, which makes it easier.”
almost (i use this word a lot so i pulled a few snippets)
spn:
“Please,” the woman whimpers, throwing her head back to look Dean in the eye. Dean jolts. Almost falls on his ass. “Uh-oh,” comes the grating taunt of Alistair. “You didn't know who you were slicing and dicing?” Dean blinks and stares. His voice shoves one word from the traffic jam in his throat. “Mom?”
teen wolf:
“Eh,” Malia says, back to human and brushing dirt from her clothes. “It’s fine.” “It’s not fine! I just almost killed you!” “I almost killed you too,” Malia says, as if she wants it known that she was just as capable of killing Kira as vice versa. “But I think the bigger question is, why did we almost kill each other?”
pjo:
“It's fine,” he says quickly. “I'm trying to learn Ancient Greek, I just didn't see the sign.” “You almost got eaten.” Percy sets his shoulders. “This is a problem.” “It's not a problem.” “Too late, it's a problem. Don't worry, I'm on the case.”
5sos:
The young man sits up, then freezes and grips both edges of the sofa, instantly several shades paler. “Fuck. I don’t feel good.” “Did you even hear me say you were almost killed?” Michael, hesitant to touch his apparently amnesiac patient, tries to pin him with a glare instead. “Lie down. It’s only been a day and a half. You need rest, you’re probably just disoriented and concussed.”
i am really entertained by the fact that every one of these snippets discusses a character who is in some way suffering or almost died. that says something probably but i don't know what!
talk (once again...multiple snippets)
spn:
“What were you dreaming about?” “Kristen Stewart,” Dean says icily. “Drop it, okay?” Cas says, “You can talk to me, you know,” and puts a hand on Dean’s shoulder. Dean flinches.
my self indulgent pjo x tw crossover:
“Which god?” Lydia asks. “And how do we kill her?” Liam adds. Jason frowns. “We're not trying to kill her. You can't kill a god, and anyway, we just want to talk.”
my self indulgent hawkeye x spiderman mcu pseudo crossover:
Spiderman does a double-take. “Kate?” he says, and then, stumblingly, “Uh, Bishop? From, uh, I— I recognize you from the— the…news.” “The news?” Kate’s brow furrows. “What are you talking about?” “Yeah, you’re the new Hawkeye,” Spiderman says. ��Right?”
more than anything this game made me realize that maybe i don't use some words nearly as often as i think i do. self-five for vocabulary variation! anyway imma tag @ijustdontlikepeople @igarbagecannoteven @kaleidoscopeminds for the words "clean," "house," "anyway," and "class" :) have fun
#tag games#fic talk#gritting my teeth biting back an apology#(muttering under my breath i do not owe anyone anything i am entitled to write what i want i am a human being with interests that ebb and#flow i am allowed to write different fandoms no one is obliged to care but i am not bound to my origins hnnnnnngh)#you know how it is#anyway!#stuff#it's midnight i should go to sleep but i wamma snackkkkkk#i didnt meant to write wamma but it was an authentic typo i stand by it#new entry for the bella dictionary#obscrable yowz and now wamma! she's growing every day

Before There Was You- CH.6
TRR X ROE
Song Inspiration: 5sos - Ghost of You
Three years ago while travelling in Europe, Eve Sommers was involved in a car accident. She woke up from her coma two weeks later with no memory of what happened to her in the past seven months. Three years later and still no recollection about what happened to her before the accident. But all of that is about to change. Will she finally know the truth? Will there be consequences?
*THIS SERIES PRACTICALLY THROWS CANON OUT THE WINDOW* YEET!YEET!
Characters except my OCs belong to Pixelberry, I am just borrowing them
Word count : 1700++
Chapter Summary: We time jump three months after the masquerade ball. The court are officially in Lynthikos and the snowy atmosphere takes Leo back to a certain memory.
A/N : This is my first fiction series so it will definitely not be 100% perfect. In other words be kind :). Feedback and comments are welcomed, also hit that reblog button if you like what you read.
Catch up with the series HERE
Warning : I’m rating this PG18 cause there will probably be PG18 stuff that’s going to happen in future chapters. So if you read this series you acknowledge that you are 18 and above.

[[More]]
“Wow, Hana! You never told me you were an amazing figure skater.” Eve cheers as she watched Hana do a Biellmann spin on the frozen lake. The group arrived Lynthikos a few hours ago and Olivia had scheduled for them to go ice skating on the lake near the estate.
Hana chuckles. “Oh , it was nothing, I learned that move when I was seven, though my skating instructor always said my spins where a bit sloppy.”
“Aww Hana, I think you were amazing despite what your instructors said, right Olivia? She affirmed and gave Olivia a nudge. “Meh, She wasn’t bad.” Olivia smirks.
“Ladies..” Liam beamed when greeted them as he and Maxwell approached the three. “My prince.” Eve smiles and kisses Liam on the cheek.
“Ugh barf..” Olivia cringed followed by sarcastic eye rolls. “I’m going to skate over there where the view is less nauseating.” She points then skates away towards Penelope and Kiara, who were skating or at least trying to.
“Hey Hana, watch me do the ice skating version of the moonwalk.” Maxwell says excitedly trying his best to impersonate the moves in his skate. Hana looks between Eve and Liam then at Maxwell. “I’d better go check on Maxwell before he hurts himself.”
“Subtle..” She grins.
Liam chuckles. “As long as we have some time to ourselves, I’m not complaining. Shall we?” He asks offering his hand. Eve smiles and takes his hand, the two begin skating side by side with their hands intertwined.
“Did I mention how lovely you look today.” Liam grins.
“No you haven’t and thank you.” She winks playfully. “So do you and the court come here often?”
“Not often, but when we do Olivia is always a generous hostess. I did use to come here a lot when I was a child. Leo and I used to have a snowball fight with Drake even Olivia would join us.”
“Leo right, I forgot about him.” She rolls her eyes, her expression suddenly dim.
Liam brows creased, he noticed a change in her tone and the way her body shifted when she said his brothers name. He stops in his skate and pulls her closely while he tilts her chin up. “Eve is something wrong?” He asks sincerely.
Her lips formed a thin line followed by an exasperated sigh. “Look it’s no big deal, it’s just that I think Leo doesn’t like me very much.”
“Why would you say something like that? You’ve been nothing but wonderful throughout your stay in Cordonia. Even Olivia is starting to warm up to you.” He chuckles. “‘Maybe it’s just some misunderstanding.
“I’m serious Liam, everytime I enter the room when the gang is hanging out he sees me and suddenly there’s always an excuse for him to leave. He doesn’t even stop say HI or make eye contact. It’s been two months you’d think the guy would warm up to me by now.. Heck! Like you said even Olivia is already treating me like a friend in her own way.” She looks Liam in the eye. “Normally I wouldn’t care what people think but he is your brother, he’s your family. it’s important to me that we get along.”
Liam heaves a sigh. “I’ll try to have a talk with him okay? In the meantime I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you, you’re a very hard person to not like Eve Sommers.” He grins while placing his hand on the small of her back and pulling her into a kiss.
***
As the sun began to set and the day began to turn dark, snow began to fall on the estate. Everyone in court gathered in the great hall for some eclairs and hot chocolate by the fire.
Leo sat in the library by the window watching as the snow fell from the night sky while taking a sip of his scotch. His mind drifted to three years ago in Finland.
Three years ago - Kakslauttanen, Finland
Leo and Eve lay on their bed cuddled up with each other. They had both been seeing each other for a few months and decided to head to Finland for their next adventure. Eve wanted to see the aurora borealis which was on her bucket list of things to do during her trip in Europe so Leo rented an igloo shaped room made out of glass.
It was the perfect romantic getaway, they could watch the constellations in the night sky while waiting for the aurora to appear all in the comfort of their warm bed under the glass dome surrounding them.
“Okay, how about that one?” Eve pointed to a wishbone shape group of stars. “That’s Perseus and that—.” Leo pointed to the star next to it. “Is Andromeda's line.”
Eve cocked an eyebrow. “I’m assuming this has some romantic Greek tragedy story written behind it?”
Leo chuckles. “No tragedy at least for them. Andromeda’s parents were going to sacrifice her to the monster Cetus when Perseus came and save her, they fell in love, got married and lived happily ever after.”
Leo turned propping one hand on the side of his head. “But if you’re interested in tragic romantic stories.” He grinned and looked back up at the sky through the glass window. “There that one.” He pointed towards the group of stars that looked like they were forming a stream. “That's called the milky way. Though the myth surrounding that constellation differs depending on the country. In Japan the myth tells the story of a celestial princess Orihimie, who falls in love with a mortal named Hikoboshi. When her father found out he was enraged and forbid their love. To punish them he placed them in the sky separated by the celestial river or as we call it the milky way only to reunite once a year.”
Eve got up into a sitting position with her legs sidesaddle, sadness filled her eyes. “Oh my god that’s just tragic and sad, I couldn’t imagine what I would do if that happened to us. To be separated from the one I love, to be separated from you. I—.” She froze when she reailised the words that came out of her mouth. Did I just confessed that i love him? Did he hear me? What if I said it too soon? Holy crap you really blew it this time Eve! Prepare yourself and watch him run for the hills.
Leo gently cupped her cheeks with his hand, closing the gap between them as he pulled her in for a deep kiss, only to pull apart a few seconds later. His ocean blue eyes looking into her soft teal ones. “I love you too.” He says.
A whirlwind of pale green light appeared and swirled above, the streaks tossed about wildly. Then scarlet red clouds of fire pulsated in wave of arcs, rolled against the midnight sky and darting towards the heavens. They both looked up and marvelled at the beautiful lights as it danced in the northern sky illuminating the night.
***
Leo is suddenly pulled out of his thoughts by the squeaking sound of the library door opening.
“And here I thought this was the last place I would find you in.” Liam teases as he walks into the library with both hands in his pockets.
Leo snorts. “And yet here I am.” He opens a bottle of liquid amber and pours it into an empty glass before offering it to Liam.
“Thank you brother.” Liam says taking the glass from Leo. “ I didn’t see you earlier on. You know usuy Drake is the one who is busy brooding, what’s gotten into you lately?”
“I wasn’t really in the mood.” Leo murmurs, swirling the glass in his hand watching as the liquid amber turns into a small whirlpool.
“Is it because of Eve?” Liam asks studying the expression on his brothers face.
Leos is taken aback. Could it be he found out about our past? Play it cool Leo it could be about something else. Leo clears his throat before answering. “Why would you say something like that?”
Liam steps closer rubbing the back of his neck, pursing his lips before answering. “To be honest, Eve was the one who brought the subject up. She thinks you don’t like her and you know what I don’t blame her now that I see it. Ever since she came to Cordonia you haven’t really been welcoming, you leave everytime she enters the room. You barely say more than three words to her whenever she tries to start a conversation with you.” He pauses then heaves a sigh. “Brother you need to tell me if something is wrong so we can all try to work it out. I’m trying my best to convince the council that the woman I love is not just the perfect Queen for me but for Cordonia. Before the start of the social season you promised to help out as much as you can.”
Leo didn’t know what to answer he was stuck between his brother and the woman he once loved, the woman he still loved. Avoiding her wasn’t an option anymore, it might cause more suspicion and suspicion might lead to Liam digging for more answers. He just couldn’t risk letting Liam finding out about their history together. Leo ran his hand through his hair. “I didn’t mean to make Eve feel unwelcomed, I promise I’ll have a talk with her to straighten things out.”
“Thank you Leo, that’s all I ask.”
“And I’m sorry I haven’t been living up to my promises, I’ve just been having a hard time lately.” He murmurs taking a sip of his scotch.
“Is it about your divorce with Katie? I’m so sorry I’ve been so busy worrying about my problems I completely forgot that you have yours. Is there anything I can do to help?”
Leo gave a rueful smile and pats Liam on the shoulder. “Thank you Liam, but these are demons I need to face on my own.”
Liam places an assuring hand on Leo’s shoulder. “ If you ever need anything. You know I’ll always have your back just like you have mine. So what do you say we stop with the brooding for a few minutes and join the others at the great hall?”
Leo chuckles. “You don’t have to ask me twice brother.” They both finished their drinks and went on their way to join the others.

heyo again folks, it’s lilac here, back with a second character !! ( i have been on break from work for about two seconds.... and you can see how i chose to spend my time, lmao ). but before i say anything else, have you ever wanted to rp with satan ? yes ? well, do i have quite the mcmess for you then. >:)
here comes st etienne’s resident ASTROPHYSICS major, NATHANIEL BALLANTYNE! the TWENTY FOUR year old CISMALE looks just like BILL SKARSGARD, and the GRADUATE is known to be PERSPICACIOUS and FORTHRIGHT despite also being BEGUILING and PERNICIOUS. you can find them in APT 001 of AUBERLIN APTS, or hanging out with other CHESS, ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION & DEBATE members. just watch out for them, rumour has it that daisey knew something about them you wouldn’t believe…
about nate.
*evil cackles to set the tone of this intro*
first thing you ought to know about my boy here ?? he was arranged to be married to daisey lmao
their families, both socialites and social climbers, had pinned the pair together since birth pretty much. nate and daisey never dated or were romantic, but their parents were always like: (☭ ͜ʖ ☭) when they were together dkfgjd
so just a note - nate is one of the few people who actually liked daisey. in fact, he respected the hell out of her for making everyone’s life hell dkfgjdhgjkdfd. so if your muse is anti-daisey ? you’re probably anti-nate too
BUT OK ONTO BACKSTORY
nate is the youngest of like, 5 kids and has grown up in ashmont his whole life
and is the smartest of all the children
and he was an accident and his parents lowkey ignore his existence
he has an eidetic memory, an iq over 170, voracious reader, a ranked chess player... also the biggest douche nozzle to ever walk the planet
he literally hates everything
my beautiful lil cynical nihilist
he’s also lowkey a masochist and like. bullies people bc he’s the worst and wants to feel superior to everyone kdjdfg
surprisingly enough one of (probably his only lmao) redeeming features is his want to save the planet. maybe he just wants the credit ? maybe he just hates people enough that he can point out their flaws fairly well. but you can catch this mans crying about corral
he has pet snakes named after famous greek philosophers too dfkgd
he is also.... so so vain. tailored suits, styled hair. a bit of a germaphobe tbh and won’t touch anything unsanitary.
will go to great lengths to avoid conversations dkfjgd
THIS BITCH IS ALSO A HOE FOR STARS
will spend hours. watching the stars. in saying that his sleep schedule is f***ed bc of this and always has rings under his eyes.
he’s also a chain smoker, but refuses to drink or do hard drugs because it will “mess with his mind”. this boy has a hard on for KNOWLEDGE
i won’t lie he is borderline sociopathic kdfjg. he’s like this fun amalgam of sherlock holmes, elon musk and david attenborough dkfgjdhf
like honestly if you correct him once he’ll probably want to die
also SHOCKINGLY he is ... not v good with people. he always assumes the worst of them and like. does not Connect. so his romantic forays are what i’d consider to be very limited
there was probably a rumour going around at some point that he eats children for fun
probably doesnt know what a meme is bc he's a loser
he is v blunt but honest so like ??? idk how you’d use that but if you want the truth about something. this is your mans. he has never tried to protect someone from their feelings ever
his weakness is his lactose intolerance lmfao
i’m ending this intro here bc i’m laughing oh my god
plots & connections.
god why would you want to plot with this mans ??? but if you do here are some Lame ideas
fellow socialite families !! chances are you and nate were brought up together, and they can wear their monocles as they sip whisky lmao
nate will tutor you in pretty much anything but only if you pay him bc he loves extortion lmao
i mean i have no idea WHY a person would like him. maybe there’s someone out there who thinks he can ‘change’ him and make him better. bc there is a lot more underneath the grotesque facade but hey. nate has like, no relationship experience so its gonna be bad for All Involved
chess or debate members !!
perhaps an unlikely friend or a good influence ? makes nate less like a goblin for a little while
to that end maybe someone like... who's into either astronomy or environmental conservation too and they're like 'ooOOO nate u do have a soul' and nate is like 'no u'
nate needs all the enemies ok
maybe a fun friendship which is like... they don’t like each other but they hate everyone else so they just bitch about st etienne forever kdfj
OH someone who was also close to daisey. bc nate probably would have interacted with them before
literally anything else you can think of tbh ??
at some point i do intend to make a wanted connections page and a bio on nate’s blog, but alas i am too lazy right now as i have been listening to the 5sos live album for about 19 hours now lmao. so hit me up either on blue’s account ( lcminescent) or discord if you wanna plot with this d00d, otherwise i’ll see y’all on the dash soon !! love lilac. <3 x

hi there 💛
could you pls explain in-depth the casting for you 5sos x greek gods edit? would love to hear how was that thought process, as a greek mythology enthusiastic 🥺
i really loved it btw !! 💜
Hi! I sure can! I’m glad you like them!! 💜
Apollo was the Greek god of music, healing, and prophecy. Overtime, he also took over the duty of driving the sun chariot that caused the sun to raise each day from Helios. He is associated with pythons because he slew the dragon, Python. He is also gave us, Laurel wreaths as a sign of victory. Apollo was in love with a nymph called Daphne; he chased her for a while until another god took pity on her and turned her into a tree. (Daphne means Laurel). Laurel wreaths became a sign of victory because they were presented to the winners at the Pythian and Ancient Olympic Games. He has many more facets and roles, but these are the ones displayed in the edit or which I see connecting Apollo and Luke.
So the edit has a sun background. Golden ichor (blood of the gods) coming from his eyes. A Laurel wreath on Luke’s head and a python in the upper right corner.
So I picked Apollo for Luke for a few reasons. One, I have a bit of synthestia and they are both gold. Moreover, Luke reminds me of sunshine. Additionally, the god of music makes sense for the frontman of the band. And I feel like healing is also adapt for him, because it’s pretty clear he has healed a lot in the last few years.
Hades was the Greek god of the underworld, of the dead, and riches (specifically under the Earth). (He was not the god of death). His most famous story is arguably kidnapping Persephone, who became his wife. This myth sets up the reason for seasons in the ancient worlds. Persephone is goddess, and the daughter of Demeter - goddess of agriculture- so when Hades takes her to the Underworld she is not dead. However, she eats 6 pomegranate seeds which causes her to have to stay in the Underworld 6 months of the year. Pomegranates and seeds are therefore highly associated with Persephone and Hades. He is also well known for his three-headed dog Cerberus, who guards the entrance to the Underworld. (Fun fact: Cerberus might derive from the Ancient Greek word for Spot! So his dog might be named Spot!) Again this not a full account, but the information important for this edit.
So the edit has dark eye makeup, and a dark dog in the upper right corner. The crown is made of Pomegranate seeds and the background circle is black marble. The border is a generic Laurel wreath because I wanted to find a Helm of Darkness (a helmet that Hades had that made him invisible and maybe incorporeal) but I couldn’t find a good image.
I know this might be a bit of a weird one. Again a bit of my synthestia, both are black in my brain. So how Hades got Persephone is not good (kidnapping is bad) but they end up being one of the most functional couples in all of Greek mythologies. He only has a handful of children and they are almost all with his wife (which is weird compared to Zeus and Poseidon). Michael and Crystal have the most visible and the longest running relationship of any of the 5sos guys. Hades love for his dog is also a connection I see between him and Michael. Also, of all of the guys, Michael seems to have the most side-hustles. He’s making the dough.
Dionysus was one of the “younger gods.” He became a god in a weird way which I won’t get into. He is the god of wine, partying, madness, and vegetation. Occasionally, he was given the epithet “Eleutherios” meaning liberator. His myths generally involve partying turning into wildness, like drunk women ripping a man to pieces. Dionysus is highly associated with grapes, ivy, vines, and drinking cups.
Calum in the edit has eyes of multiple colors. He is against a purple circle surrounding by vegetation. His crown is ivy. Grapes are in the upper right corner.
So these guys don’t match in my color brain. But, of the main 12 Olympians I feel like the partier is the right fit for Calum. He seems like he knows how to have a good time. I don’t think he is crazy (lol) but he does have a bit of temper (not saying a bad or unjustified one). Also, like he seems to spend a lot of time (when he’s livestream or people are posting pictures) outside. I associate him more with the outdoors than any of the other guys.
Last but not least, Hermes. Hermes is the god of travelers, orators, cunning, and commerce. He is the messenger of the gods and a psychopomp. Hermes’ main symbol is his caduceus, a staff with two snakes twisting around. He is also known for his winged sandals and helmet.
I associate Hermes with blue so that’s the running color scheme, though this is not a classics thing. The circle behind him is a night sky because he flys between the boundaries of the Heavens, the Earth, and the Underworld. The crown is blue gems, I wanted to find a winged helmet or even just a crown shaped liked wings to invoke the helmet, but I could find one that worked with Ashton’s head angle. The border is a common Greek motif on pottery.
Ashton is the one, especially in the beginning, who seemed to be in charge of a lot of the business side of things for the band. Or at the very least, in charge of relaying what the band wanted to their business people. Even now, he’s the one emailing the merch company about bad orders for fans. He also does a lot of the bands social media, being the messenger for the band to the fans. He is a “wordsmith of sorts” and the connects him to orators. Ashton is clearly a cunning business man to have had the success he had with his independent solo album. Additionally, in the tour diaries and instagrams he seems to be the one always looking to explore the places they travel to (Cal often being right there with him though).
So yeah. Sorry for this super long answer! I hope it’s okay! I love talking about this kind of thing! 💜

LOVE YOURSELF CHALLENGE
Rules: It’s time to love yourself. Choose your 5 favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world. Tag as many writers/creators you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome work!
Ashton as Eros: inspired by my dear friend @sadistmichael who wrote little blurbs about the 5sos boys as Greek Gods. I LOVE greek mythology and reading them had me spiral (I'm pretty sure it was the quickest I had done illustrations of the boys in 24 hours.) Here's a link to all four illustrations.
Hockey!Ash x Florist!Reader: written with my baby @calpops 💓 I haven't done a lot of writing this year but when E attacks my asks, I have to attack back 🥰 I miss the hockey!au so much. It's always so heartwarming when people talk to me about it. I hope to get back into writing for it soon!
Peachtober Prompt 02: a very recent one but you can see how my art style has evolved (though only a little!) Also Querencia is another one of my babies and drawing for it will hopefully motivate me to write for it again!
rosecolouredash anniversary: another rose note connected to @calpops featuring our story babies (Veiled Valor and Querencia) 🥺♥️ I know how hard we've worked on our respective pieces so this will always be a special one to me.
BHTY rose note: I still can't believe "it's over" 😭 Anytime @irwinkitten sent me sneak peeks I CRIED EVERY TIME (or screamed). Looking back at my art the past year, I've realized I have a lot of fanart for this fic 😂 You're welcome Laura 😉
Tagged by @calpops and @malumsmermaid Thanks to you both for having me go down memory lane on my tumblr 😂💓
I'll tag @irwinkitten @sexgodashton @sadistmichael @goth5sos @pinkbubbles-and-bigtroubles if you haven't and want to!
