#And they can choose to take that but it takes influence.

[dejwrld]

i wish white women stop posting handmaiden tales clips. like a white author literally just took what woc has been going through slapped it on white characters just so y’all can feel an ounce of empathy and maybe start choosing your gender over your race. like the whole “omg we moving towards living gilead or whatever it’s called” is the biggest eye roll because in america black & indigenous women been living in the handmaiden tales. like instead of posting fucking clips, y’all need to get in the field and start slapping the shit out your fellow white women peers that voted for trump.

anyway, please everyone take care of yourselves within these four years. i am speaking to people outside of the u.s too simply because the us have such power that it can influence a monkey see monkey do effect with other countries. so please find that community you can trust and turn to. also please remember, it is okay to unplug for the day. you can take a break from trying to be informed to protect yourself. take a deep breath, ensure you’re eating and getting enough rest.

love ya,

pick a pile - relationship dynamics with your future person.

choose what your heart truly longs for, what your eyes linger upon. take what is gonna resonate with you and leave the rest.

pile i.

part i. intuition

there's a strong childish energy for this pile. you and your lover maybe are on the same age line or if not, they are definitely someone whom you share the same vibes and interests.

they are probably someone who is into art and music and there's a high chance that they will produce and make a song which is dedicated to you or even draw a portrait of your picture and gifting to you when you both celebrate your anniversary or if not, probably when your birthday.

otherwise, they are gonna put a lot of effort into giving something to you, it's one of their love language.

this couple which you can see chatting their day through smart phones like updating each other about what is going into each other's lives. although they're not usually in the same place, it's just they enjoy sharing their day and about what's going on throughout their whole day to one and another.

your partner is maybe someone who is a prankster and while as i feel here mirroring of what they've done to you. there's a very youthful vibes coming from the both of you.

you two might be exchanging pranks on each other. this couple is like an easy end happy-go-lucky team.

i think you are going to get influence with these treats. someone as time goes by you are able to adopt them.

before meeting them, your person is cheerful while you are probably someone who always ate up from the stress of life. for the cutest part, i see that they like trapping you from where you are and start pampering you kisses all over your face. fight it babe, if you can!

part ii. from the oracle and tarot cards.

it will be a graceful relationship, like as if you were shipping a boat with a calm sea. you two will never be bored with each other's company, there's always something to spice up this relationship(as i said like pranking, lol).

i see a lot of activities that you two may like to do, the energetic energy is always here and it never gone.

you like hyping up one and another. your person's love language might be an act of service, physical touch and giving gifts. they will show it by making you a coffee in a morning when you wake up before your work or sitting close next to you when you two alone or making a compilation collage both of your picture and then gifting it to you.

they are someone who isn't get treated rights by their by past lovers and so, they tried their best to be the best version of themselves when they're with you.

this seems one of your exciting parts of your life and love, this is one of your most awaiting phases of your life. where i can call a blissful and harmonious relationship with a potential soulmate connection.

you will totally swept this person feet off, and so, you should embrace this moment.

also i see teamwork, friendship and you two will value each other. your biggest flex about this relationship is your love and strength for each other, you two probably can catch each other up in a very downfall situation like "i gotcha babe, let me handle this." a very communicative and has an emotional intelligence couple.

this person is gonna accept and love your flaws, if you think you aren't perfect enough they think you did. i also see here, they view you as their ideal person. they seems view you in a rose-tinted glasses; fine and unrealistic.

you will probably gonna have a lot of moments in any waterfront or you may date a lot in places where water are very prominent.

this is probably type of couple where the two of them get healed while in relationship.

pile ii.

part i. intuition

this couple is giving me very quiet and calm vibes. you probably love to read books and share what you learned from those. and as i sense here, people view you as a powerful, intelligent and intimidating couple.

i'm seeing someone here, who likes to sew? sewing is probably one of their hobbies or maybe it's you. this maybe you or them, i only see hands sewing so i'm not quite sure who's that or what gender they're.

i also get that you probably don't want a child before getting married, you two prefer it afterwards. family planning is very important for both energy here.

i see that you will plan this very carefully before committing in a long term relationship.

well, the first intimacy will happen in a hotel probably a five star or in a big luxury house like. both will be loyal to each other, they're gonna cherish each other until the end.

you two are probably serious and committed individuals, even though you may lose some spark because this relationship may have boring phases but they will still stick to each other to rewind and back again, where they start loving each other. about how they fall in love to each other.

there is a big understanding here maybe because both of you are matured and know how to handle things in a professional way.

but i do have this feeling, that you both like the ocean. one of you may live near it. and oh my, while channeling i suddenly saw on the clock it's 5:55.

this maybe a reminder from the spirit team that this is the love story you are desire for. the romantic relationship you are longing for. the masculine energy here, love the hand and toes of the feminine energy. they like kissing, massaging and cleaning it. it's a pair of hands holding another pair of hands.

part ii. from the oracle and tarot cards.

yeah, totally well read couple. all the things happening between these two is being taken seriously.

one on one having rough and risky conversations with each other. with them, you will not be scared to be vulnerable.

i also think you're gonna have this "our song" which reminds you of each other. so cute.

your lover is someone who gives you clarity and doesn't leave you in doubt. they're very committed to this relationship. if you are working, they'll be supportive about it. they are so proud, like a parent seeing their child graduating at school.

although, i kinda understand the rough sides of this story. they would love you to know that they love to experience all things, emotions and celebrations with you.

be communicative with them, as per see here. they are eager to know how their partner feels and thoughts.

another fact for them, as they grow. become an adult. they develop trust issues and have a low self-esteem. people surrounds makes them feel unloved somehow, this is probably they may come up from a family that has many members. so attention kinda split up for all of the children.

they want to build a good foundation, where everyone in their future family will be appreciated and loved. they want to be a good parent and role model for their younger ones.

when it comes to finances, i can confidently say that you two may love to help each other. appreciate little things. although, there's a little bit of struggle handling or earning the money. your positivity, will bring courage to your lover.

if your fp is a male i can't wholy say that they are someone who is well off but they'll be good at providing.

pile iii.

part i. intuition.

i see distance. you're probably gonna meet this individual when you move or if not, you may meet them online. at first glance, there's already a strong connection and chemistry happening between the two people.

it also has delays on the connection itself. it won't happen immediately but yes, there's a strong familiar feeling between you and them. this seems like, two people secretly crushing on each other but don't actually have any idea about that.

like two people keep sabotaging themselves whether the other person does have any feelings for them or feel what they feel. there's so much wonderment or bewilderment but it's really obvious that you two do really like each other but are afraid to say so. maybe afraid, to ruin the friendship.

move on. when it comes to relationships, this is the type of couple that prefers to date once in a month or more than that. it's probably one or two is busy but still have this little time and space for each other. and oh well, it's kinda like "oh, let's try to drink coffee in this new café i see few blocks away".

despite that this person feels home to you, they bring peace and joy into your life.

kisses on the forehead is also a thing for a person to feel better or linking to each other's arms while walking.

i also got a feeling that one of you is hella sensitive while the other one is gentle. your lover language will be an act of service.

part ii. from the oracle and tarot cards.

your person likes to document things, they love photography. taking pictures is one of their favorite things to do like for them you are their perfect model. like an artwork from a museum that doesn't fade away as time gets by but it becomes more valuable.

however, one of you may need to do the first move as i see here you are both afraid of each other's opinion. yes, it's obvious that you liked each other but there is a strong hesitation here. i think you both will start as friends and end up being lovers. it may take a lot of courage from the both of you to tell what you are feel about each other.

the first kiss? it's probably gonna happen in a chaotic and funny way.

the wedding is gonna be breath-taking. i also think only a few people that matter for the both of you are gonna attend this ceremony.

there's mutual support, trust and respect in this relationship.

Month to month

January

10 of wands (burn-out, uphill battle, taken for granted) Coffee cup (meeting and conversing, savoring the moment, feeling uplifted, friendship) Take your power back (you are giving someone control over how you feel, your happiness should only depend on you) Thoughts: Wanting to meet up or at least call, feeling low and exhausted. I feel this is more Timmy than Armie. He has given away the control over his own happiness and he should take it back. Only then he will have the chance prove Armie he's not taking him for granted. Things are still strained

February

The hermit (soul searching, solitude, contemplation) The grim reaper (the relationship is over. No second chances. Grow and transform your life) Open yourself to others (this is how you will create new friendships and attract a love relationship) Thoughts: Timmy thinks he has lost Armie for good, but he will get him back if he is honest to him and opens up about what made him make those terrible decisions last year. He just has to go within and think through how he can make things better between them and Armie will give him a second chance.

March

The emperor (dependability, authority, structure) Mirror (mirroring each other, self-image, relationships, reflect our wounds, introspection) Engagement (your love life is soon ascending to a high level of commitment) Thoughts This could be the month they will start communicating to each other again, mirroring each other as ever. If they will, they have really have to be open and honest with each other and they will feel better again.

April

Page of swords (curious, clever, chatty) Ax (break up, separation, stop the pattern, silent treatment, abandonment) Be optimistic (keep in mind that you create your reality, you can't attract love with a negative mindset) Thoughts Doing their best not to assume the worst, trying to. break the former pattern of not taking everything through, trying to stay optimistic

May

The Star (faith, renewal, healing) The sword and the rose(clarity, truth, revelation, solidarity, force, honor, protection, power) Magnetic connection (there is a very strong pull and intensity that draws you to this person) Thoughts -healing and feeling the strong connection and pull to each other

June

king of swords (intelligent, head over heart, logical) photograph (looking at your photos, missing you, nostalgia, make new memories) past lives (you have known this person before, it's a soul mate from a past life-time) Thoughts: thinking practical about their future making new memories together they know each other from past lives

July

7 of wands (connection, defiance, stand your ground) engagement ring (engagement, partnership, commitment, eternity, completion, union) they are the one (you have already met the romantic partner you seek) Thoughts Just feeling this is the one and having each others back. Maybe thinking of the next step, like moving in with each other August

The fool (innocence, new beginnings, leap of faith) passion (insane chemistry, like each other equally, having fun) You are enough (the person you are meant to be with will love you the way you are. You don't need to change) Thoughts: definitely thinking about the next step. Wanting to have pets/living together.

September

The empress (nurturing, fairness, growth) Love (unconditional love, self-love, oneness, passion, affection, attraction) third party situation (other people may interfering with this relationship and dimming its potential Thoughts: Staying strong together, even if people are trying to break them up. Having each others back. Loving the connection

October

king of coins reversed (corrupt, greedy, materialistic) sunglasses (watching, looking, stalking, gaslighting, perception, focusing out) make the effort (this love is worth taking risks, you are called to move forward) Thoughts: People trying to come between them, maybe false accusations, or blackmail, people stalking them. They have to stick together and it will pass

November

the sun (success, optimism, openness) twin flames (yin and yang, zen, balance, union, duality, coupling complement each other) nothing has gone wrong (trust the process, this connection is divinely timed) Thoughts They are stronger together. They are exactly where they should be. Divine connection, twin flames.

December

10 of swords (traumatic events, playing the victim, immense pain) love call (someone expresses love, a message of love, thinking of you and letting you know) have faith (the angels are working behind the scene to make this relationship flourish.) Thoughts: Someone is losing a family member, or this family member is very ill? Focus elsewhere but still staying strong

What could be potential blocks for them to freely love each other?

Trust issues both are suffering from this and they have to move on from it. Talk it out and tell each other where they come from and how they can move forward Low self esteem I think Armie has learned to forgive himself for his mistakes and also in therapy learned to love himself more. I think Timmy still has issues with that. He has to grow a bit, still, but he's getting there. Believing everyone leaves and feeling onlovable I would saty this is more Armie than Timmy, I think Armie has to convince himself he's worth loving. These are his old issues, but he's very lovable. He shouldn't be afraid Self blame I feel Timmy has to move on from blaming himself to not making the right choices, especially last year and especially in love. He has to forgive himself for his own mistakes Feeling incomplete They both don't feel complete without the other. They will be stronger together if they will fully have each other's backs.

Angel numbers 1010 It's up to you! (moderation, patience, flow, clarity, joy, movement, self-realization, taking action, unconditional love) 0 is the number of divine consciousness in numerology, and 11 is a notorious twin flame number because it represents the mirror work that twin flames experience during their healing journey. Together, 1010 is a sacred number representing divine union on the way. 0707 compromise (self-awareness, forgiveness, empathy, professionalism, tenacity and freedom) The number 707 in twin flame symbolism often represents spiritual awakening, introspection, and alignment with divine guidance. Seeing 707 may indicate that positive changes are underway in the twin flame journey, encouraging both to trust in their inner wisdom and spiritual growth. 0808 swift action (wealth, empathy, promises, commitment, affection, inner strength, auspicious outcomes) They are both healing! Seeing this repeated number means they both have completed a soul lesson as part of their healing journey and it's allowed them to reclaim their power. 1551 hold your vision (manifestation, abundance, money, dreams, vision and prosperity)  A sign it's time to take the next step in your relationship. If you've had a falling out with your twin flame, you may soon reunite. Continue to focus on your personal growth, and your reunion will be a success.

Light/shadow tarot

The hanged man ( I'm taking a break from everything so I can meditate and release my old ways of thinking. This process is not that easy) I feel like Armie is still struggling with the way he was brought up in a very traditional way. Being with Timmy would mean he has to let go of these thoughts. It will also mean some people will frown upon it (friends/family) six of wands (every time we get passed our arguments and get on the same page, I feel on top of the world and I succeed in all I do.) Armie was struggling to see why he would give up a traditional relationship to be with Timmy, but he knows now that when they do communicate properly and are honest to each other, he's happier than he ever was before. I simply can't let Timmy go. ace of pentacles (I feel so rich for knowing true love. I now see how easy it is to create wealth, when you know someone like you, to love.) I feel like Timmy now sees what it will cost him to give up Armie, to not have that true love anymore. For all his ambition, he's seeing now it also very lonely at the top. He needed this separation to come to that conclusion. knight of wands (the fact that you are so mysterious is very thrilling and it turns on my passion, cause I don't know what to expect.) I think both feel that about each other, the unusual and unexpected aspects of both their characters makes the other even more desirable. ace of swords (since I met you, my mind has expanded to so many new ideas and ways of thinking, enhancing my brain power like never before) Both have changed each others views and opinions of the world. Their thinking, their way of loving another being. This is the biggest lesson they have learned from each other and they know in their hearts how much it is worth. nine of cups (I feel grateful for everything in my life, especially you! I want to enjoy more happy times together and make love all night) Nothing to add here :)

Twin flame ascension

11:11 compassion (higher heart opening) They have to heal their heart by letting go of judgement of each other that created the separation between them. 1111 is believed to be a sign that your thoughts and intentions are manifesting rapidly. During twin flame separation, this can serve as a reminder to focus on positive thoughts and intentions.

4:4 transformation (battle of Head vs. Heart) The 44 angel number twin flame separation is a necessary step in the spiritual growth of both individuals, and it will ultimately lead to a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. Listen to your heart rather than your head, don't resist change and avoid taking necessary actions. Both have been listening more to their heads and the arguments they could come up with why to stay separated last year. They have to face their fears and it will lead to tremendous transformation.

8:8 Honor your agreement (mission in motion) Angel number 88 suggests that abundance and restoration are on the horizon for twin flame relationships. It signifies that love and respect will be restored if your relationship has faced difficulties. Release karmic patterns

Messages:

Both: I dream about you at night Dreams come to them both about the other I love you to the moon and back They know both that this is the strongest they have ever felt about someone else Timmy: you light up my world you have to be patient I need to sort things out first, before I can come to you Will you help me? Armie: Time will tell if he can trust Timmy fully again I want you It's not a matter of not wanting him, it's just a matter of not wanting to come last My beloved That's how he thinks about Timmy

[delulustateofmind]

hello, I'm currently going insane over the last part of "can my friend join". And i read your replies to asks related to that. And I'm going to ask something so crazy but I think it'd be soooo interesting, and something to ponder abt (for me at least)

Tw. Narcotics?

Say the reader gets their hands on edibles or something. Maybe weed to smoke or as brownies (because we know Suguru smokes/at least carries lighters. Maybe for this hypothetical scenario, let's assume he has it and that's how she got it). One of the effects can be that it makes you laugh uncontrollably about things that aren't THAT funny. And in general puts one in better mood.

Let's say satosugu see reader laughing her heart out at something random n silly and find out it's because she accidentally somehow consumed an edible.

(For the sake of this scenario, again, let's assume that the depression meds or some medical complications after so many pregnancies lead to reader being rendered infertile. So no question about any baby being harmed. )

In that case... how do they feel? Do they want her bubbly-ness back? Or are they now indifferent? Or do they hate her smiles and the sound of her laughter?

Will Suguru try to forcefully take away the edibles, (after a few times) if satoru is against the idea, coz satoru likes how you seem to have a bit of personality outside of being a cardboard cutout of the person you used to be? Will SATORU too put his foot down on letting you choose if or not you want to have access to these?

I am sorry in case i inadvertently offended you with this ask. I genuinely found it hilarious, imagining their confusion at first. It would be interesting to read about a scene where satoru and Suguru maybe cannot come to an agreement about a situation. And both are stubborn/ want control.

I understand if you won't want to answer this one, and i apologise in case you don't like stuff like this. I genuinely do not mean to make you uncomfortable.

Thank you for reading!

Anon, baby, it takes a whole lot to offend me. You're so freaking sweet, mwah.

TW: Narcotics, unedited, implied dubcon/noncon

I think I hinted at this in one of the previous asks, but yes, they definitely use narcotics. It’s kind of like a date night situation, because normally, you’re so numb. But when you’re high on that sweet little pill they give you? Oh my, you’re back to being the sweetest little thing.

Sure, you might be a little spaced out, and sure, you might not fully understand what’s going on. But Satoru loves the giggly mess you become. You let him hold you, nuzzle into you, and for once, you don’t resist. The sex is incredible for them because you actually seem like you’re enjoying it. You’re softer, more pliable, and sometimes, you even blurt out that you love them during it.

Those moments—hearing you say “I love you”—fuel both Satoru and Suguru’s belief that there’s still an ounce of the old you left inside. As much as they’d want to keep you drugged and loveable forever, Suguru worries about the long-term effects on your brain. So, he insists on keeping it as a weekly date night ritual.

On those nights, they send the kids out of the estate and have an absolute field day with you, indulging in every ounce of affection and compliance you offer under the influence of their little solution.

[therookerydatv]

This is a non-Veilguard post but it is a Solas post and a Varric post so buckle in.

Background: I joined a Veilguard Discord server because I'm insane, and we were discussing Cole and the whole choice to make him a Spirit or more Human, and it almost got into an argument but thankfully it figured quickly, but I was still thinking about it because something about it all rubbed me the wrong way. A lot of people lamented their choice in making Cole more Human or cheered that making Cole more Spirit was the correct choice because of Solas' own regrets and pains that came about from him gaining a mortal body.

Subjectively I have always chosen to make him more human, but I guess me choosing as a player is different from within the context of Inquisition. In DA:I every choice you make has consequences, sometimes trying to backpedal out of a choice once you're far enough in will result in you not getting your way because that's what it all is, Choices and Consequences. As much as the result of Cole's change is on you the player, it's really a Consequence of your favoring Varric or Solas' method.

Solas' entire view of Cole's predicament is colored by his own negative experience of having a body and living in the physical world, waking up to a physical world where the Veil was created just amplifies that regret in pain, every instance of him trying to help with his Wisdom becomes something worse to him personally (All that Wisdom and he can't help himself) but with Cole he actually can help! He can fix this, with not only Wisdom but experience! He's become a person, he doesn't like being a person(and then he does because of the Inquisitor, I feel this is true romance or friendship), so Solas knows that Cole can 'return'(made) more Spirit and the confliction will end.

Varrics positions, his view, I feel is colored by the people he couldn't help, the ones he couldn't help get their revenge or solve their problem in time in a way where no one could get hurt (Cole literally reminds him of Anders just in reverse) And this time, Varric knows better, he knows how to fix this, he knows how to not blow up the Chantry, he can fix it this time. (This time the love will be enough!!)

Objectively, both are answers, I don't think either of them are right, because it's one influence over the other, but a choice has to be made otherwise he'd become a demon.

Solas and Varric are having their idealogical battle(custody battle) over which direction Cole needs to go in to avoid binding or demonhood(which college to send him to). The added layer VG adds to this and every banter Solas and Varric have is also fascinating, because outwardly it's an Elf and a funny Dwarf fighting over the tall awkward Human child, but after VG??? After those regrets??? Girl...

But I feel that reducing that scene to Solavellan at times is... disingenuous, when really, it's a Solvarric scene of we're being objective.

This is THE custody battle of all time. (My weed kicked in bear with me)

Solas' version of his world doesn't exist anymore, the world with no Veil and spirits essentially pillaging the bodies of the Titans to gain bodies doesn't exist anymore, the first victims of what the Elvhen did calls him Chuckles, a demonym in true friendly jest to him, it's the first thing Varric calls him when he reaches out to talk to him at the beginning of Veilguard, up until that point he calls him Solas, the Dread Wolf, Fen'Harel.

Varric is a result of years of time happening to the version of the World Solas brought about. Its...it's like God is talking to a creation of his that has every right to hate him, to want to desire to go back before all the bad shit, and instead Varric says, okay, get the anger out, how do you feel now? Empty? That's okay too, take your time.

Solas is a weary traveler ready to end it all and Varric is the equally weary traveler who says, tell me about it, and then talks your ear off so much you start believing in the world again.

Basically, Varric's method is to embrace the history and the scars, embrace the hurt and once it's done, get something to eat. Varric forgives but doesn't forget, his plan has Cole let go of his anger in the end, but Cole will remember the hurt he felt, and inflicted and so will the people he inflicted them on.

Undine Eisner No Yan Sim AU Q&A

Link to her Introduction post CLICK HERE

1. Does your OC have parents or family in the AU? If not, what is their current living situation?

Yes. Undine lives with her parents and has a good relationship with them. Her parents, followers of right-wing populism, are a bad influence, raising their daughter (only child) to be racist, queephobic etc. The teachers at the school step up and try to teach her to be more tolerant.

2. What are their thoughts on Quartz?

Quartz has an unusual skincolour, so... While Undine doesn't outright bully people with a different skin colour, her racism manifests in a casual form, by her avoiding them, being wary of them and being less kind to them. For example, Undine would help Quartz, if she sees another student bullying/attacking her (unless she knows of a context that justifies it, like... you know... Quartz trying to kill someone), but she wouldn't help her if she fell down or dropped some things, when she would help white students in such little scenarios. Since she is so distant, Undine isn't close to Quartz at all. She barely knows her. Undine has no idea, what she's up to. While Undine isn't crass enough to admit it out loud, she is more suspicious of not-white people, so she will easily suspect Quartz to be a criminal.

3. What is their thoughts and relationship with Azul? How did they meet Azul?

Undine has no respect for guys who have a harem (which Azul has in this AU apparently, lol). Someone who can't choose and commit isn't worth her (romantic) interest. Normally, Undine stays away from Azul and his admirers. She has actually never met him alone until now and has never had a proper conversation with him. She only knows him from seeing him around and hearing other people's stories about him. She will protect him from harm and danger, but out of principle - Undine will try to save every student, whose life is in danger.

4. What are their relationships with other characters/OCs?

Crowley: If Miss Eisner gets sent to my office one more time for political incorrect commentary, I shall have her put together and hold a presentation about why discrimination is unacceptable and the benefits of tolerance at school. A recording of that will look good on the school's website - I mean it is good to share the resource with the public, so that everyone can learn from it...

Azul: Undine is easily one of the most foolish students here, very naive and narrow-minded. I don't like people like her.

Vil: Undine is a perfect example of someone who has neither skill nor talent in acting. Unfortunately, she tries to put up her nice-girl-act every day, despite that. It's so bad, that no one could fall for it...

Ace: Yeah, Undine is really way too nice. She just agrees to help me with everything I ask of her, as long as I don't want her food or ask her to go throw my trash away. I found out that her limit of taking requests from the same guy is two per day, then she catches on that she gets used as maid and gets snappy, hehe.

5. What grade/year is your OC?

First year

6. What is your OCs goal for the school year or in life?

Get good grades, do good, be heroic.

7. Your OC is being framed for murder of another student by Quartz, how does your OC react to that? Does your OC know it's Quartz?

Outrageous! Undine will prove her innocence and look for the real killer! If she knows who framed her, she can guess the killer is also Quartz.

8. Your OC notices Quartz carrying a weapon in her skirt pocket. That's strange since the female school uniforms don't have skirt pockets. Does your OC report this?

Yes.

9. Where is your OC usually with or at during school? Classes? With Azul? Skipping class? Where do they eat lunch?

Undine doesn't skip class. She eats lunch in the cafeteria. She is either going through the school alone or with her frival Yuu Quinn.

10. How are your OC's grades?

Overall good, but nothing special. She's failing English, because she is too far beneath the first language level, that is taught here.

(No Yan Sim AU) Questions for OCs! + Quartz and other characters' lore

You don't have to do these if you don't want to! You can write and answer how ever you want (3rd person or as the OC)

These answers are just examples and they also give lore to other TWST characters in the AU

1. Does your OC have parents or family in the AU? If not, what is their current living situation?

Riddle currently lives with his mother. Because of her influence, he is the strictest in the student council (which consists of the dormleaders.)

2. What are their thoughts on Quartz?

[You can yap about it here since I already used Quartz as an example in the fourth question]

3. What is their thoughts and relationship with Azul? How did they meet Azul?

Jade is Azul's right hand man. He assists Azul with a lot of student council work and is mostly by his side with Floyd. They are friends from their middle school days and up to their highschool days (although the three of them won't admit it).

Jade found Azul's hardwork and scheming nature very exciting so he and his brother always stayed by Azul's side to see what fun events would happen.

4. What are their relationships with other characters/OCs?

[They are speaking about Quartz as example]

Floyd: "Who again?"

Floyd doesn't really acknowledge Quartz since she's so quick out of his sights. Genuinely believes there isn't a person named that but is suspicious.

Jade: "Oh, that shy girl? She's a little funny."

Definitely suspicious of Quartz but they don't interact much so he has no other information about her. He probably needs to be more skillful when studying her.

Riddle: "Quartz?.. Uh.. I-I don't recall who that is."

Quartz rarely interacts with Riddle.

Ace: "Ah? You mean that girl who's always so weird? I've seen her watch Azul. Pffftt! Do you think she likes him?"

He notices her sometimes because he thinks her appearance is a little flashy.

Idia: "I-Isn't she one of Azul's admirers?... She's the shy type right? She's a little strange though.. Sometimes she takes photos of me! W-Wait.. Maybe she's into me instead?! EEEKK!! H-HOW SCARY!!"

Completely misunderstands Quartz's actions but he's quick to know how weird her actions are. He stays away from her if Azul isn't present.

5. What grade/year is your OC?

Azul, Jade, and Floyd are all 2nd years (17).

Leona has been held back so he is still 20.

6. What is your OCs goal for the school year or in life?

Quartz wishes to kill Azul 🙏

7. Your OC is being framed for murder of another student by Quartz, how does your OC react to that? Does your OC know it's Quartz?

Floyd is jumping her.

8. Your OC notices Quartz carrying a weapon in her skirt pocket. That's strange since the female school uniforms don't have skirt pockets. Does your OC report this?

Riddle is absolutely reporting that! He's calling the cops and everything 🫡🫡🫡

9. Where is your OC usually with or at during school? Classes? With Azul? Skipping class? Where do they eat lunch?

Quartz is always in class but she'll come right before the bell rings since she was.. busy. She doesn't have a particular place she goes to all the time. She's never in one spot.

Quartz's lunch spot varies because she's always spying but her usual spot is in the courtyard.

Riddle is assigned being a hall monitor so he usually watches the halls when he is able to. He usually eats lunch with Trey and Cater.

Leona is always found napping under trees and skipping his classes. Ruggie manages to find him and give him his lunch from the cafeteria.

Rook is watching you.

10. How are your OC's grades?

Deuce tries, ok. (Awful)

Notes: As an American, I'm having difficulty with a lot right now. I wrote this to comfort myself to the best of my ability. It might not make sense. This is my contribution for the Challenge Friday with the @pixelcafe-network

Loid Forger, the well-respected spy with a million faces, can solve any problem; nothing is too much or too little. No mission is impossible for him, whatever you ask of him, he’ll do it. He will do anything to protect his family.

He does his best to be a good father to his daughter. Always skirting spoiling her and being firm with her, but Anya’s happiness is his priority. When Anya met you for the first time, she felt comfortable and safe around you. You are a pillar of light that she could rely on. You acknowledge that you will protect her, no matter what. You would take on anything or anyone face-to-face if it meant protecting your family. 

You are a team in that regard. You vowed together that you would protect each other, no matter what. Yet, you feel yourself faltering. You wonder if there’s sometimes a force bigger than you that you can take on. Could you go against everything you grew up believing if it meant protecting them? That force doesn’t even acknowledge your existence. 

Your parents sacrificed a lot for you to exist. Your existence has only been diminished to exist as a person who should just be at home, bare children. You’re not fit for combat, yet you know you would fight for them. You don’t look like a fighter, but you are. You can’t tell him how you feel because you promised yourself that you would be strong and not falter. You put on a brave face when they’re around, and smile. He can see that something is going on inside you. Being ever observant, he notices when you’re not saying much. That bubbly personality that is often present, has suddenly disappeared. If anyone were to ask, “Are you okay?” you just nod and smile. When Loid tries to coax it out of you, you just mention it’s just the weather changes; it’s currently winter. 

One day you’re at home coloring with your daughter. The colours do distract you. Anya looks up to you. Without any prompting, she hugs you. It isn’t the responsibility of the child to care for the adult, it never is. She’s aware that there’s been a grey cloud looming above you, and you feel guilt for allowing those feelings to become apparent to her. She doesn’t need to know that you are experiencing a moment of weakness. You need to be strong for her. Always. As the hug lingers a little longer, you know that you have to protect her, no matter at what cost. She deserves to have a winning chance in this place, despite how IT chooses to look at you and define you. 

You know deep down it’s not what they say that destroys you, it’s how the rest of society is easily influenced to believe that. As this self-acknowledgement boosts your mood a little, you hear the door open. Your husband is home and he has a bouquet in his hand. However, it’s not a flower that you’re familiar with seeing. The petals are shaped like a fan and violet, with hints of yellow and white. He greets the both of you as you continue to be lost in a daze as you go up to him and gaze at the flowers. “Hi, my darling. I went to the flower shop today, and thought our home needed a little more colour in it,” he says out loud. Anya runs up to smell the flowers and admires how beautiful they are. Loid pats her head before speaking to her. “Hey Anya, why don’t you get started on your homework? I’ll come and help you in a little bit.”

“They’re beautiful, darling. I’ll go ahead and put these in a vase.” Your hand gently brushes against his as you move to remove the flowers from his hand. In an instant, he grabs your hand and then gazes at you. “I know that something has been going on, and there’s a reason why I picked these specific flowers for you.” He shares a warm smile and you feel the warmth creep up on your face.

“Oh?” you look at him perplexed. 

“I asked the florist what flowers she would recommend. I told her that I wanted something to express all my affection to you in some way. I know you hate roses, so we went with the iris.” 

You smile shyly and move away to find that vase, except now you can’t reach it (darn being vertically challenged). He moves closer to you and then holds you. You’re used to the affection, but this feels different. “I know what’s been going on, and I know sometimes you struggle to tell me what you’re thinking and what you’re feeling. You don’t have to do any of this alone.” He rests his head on yours, as you feel the hold becoming tighter. “I know they’re just flowers, but if you allow, I can tell you what they mean.” 

He reaches for the vase right in front of you to gently place it on your hands. You move to put water in it. You slowly unwrap the paper protecting the flowers, and he halts you from touching them; he reminds behind you. “I know who you are and what you are, I chose you to be with me. You are strong and capable of taking on anything that comes your way.” He kisses your temple. “Despite this, I want you to have faith in me. Please trust that I too will do what I need to do to protect us.” He kisses the other temple. “Please have faith that I can do anything and everything to keep you out of harm’s way. You don’t have to answer to IT, and I know you won’t.” He moves to start putting each stem into the vase. “The iris is meant to be a symbol of faith, but also of hope. I know there isn’t a lot of hope right now, but I do have hope that we are strong and can overcome anything that comes our way.” You work together to put the flowers in the vase, and as they’re arranged to your liking, he holds you once more. “You mean a lot to me, and I could give a damn what they think about you. You mean a lot to me, and I’ll never let them lay a finger on you. You never have to do anything you don’t want and I know you’re tenacious and can get your way out of anything. Just remember that I’m here and you can rely on me too.” A few tears make contact with his hand. You don’t want him to see you like this; vulnerable. 

He turns you around and you don’t look at him. You’re uncomfortable to let him see you like this. He tilts your chin up gently and you can barely make out his face as the tears blur it. “I’m right here and you know that I’ll always be here.” You hug him as tight as you can, taking in the weight of his words as your heart feels full. The tears are present, but it’s okay. He doesn’t need you to be strong all the time, it’s okay to let yourself fall apart. He’ll be there. Always. You can trust him. 

He takes his handkerchief as he dabs up your tears. You look at him with reassurance right before he presses a kiss on your forehead. “I’ll be okay, right now. I can get started on dinner on my own,” you say with confidence. 

“Just let me know if you need me.” He turns to walk away, with his footsteps being heard to enter Anya’s room. 

Who knows what tomorrow may bring, but at least you have each other.

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani is an incredible movie and I recommend you all watch it, and they have the perfect usage of a sequin shirt.

[casualavocados]

You've never done that when I got close to you before. Why? None of your business. Tell me, or you can't leave.

KISEKI: DEAR TO ME Ep. 10

[misanthropicvampire]

- study: as disingenuous as it seems, actually researching how people generally express affection can give you a model for how you would be (eventually) comfortable doing it. study movies, books, and blogs

- fake it 'til you make it: don't try to force yourself to feel genuine affection or love - doing this will only make it more difficult. at first, focus on the actions themselves, being 'there' for someone, and a genuine desire to care for them for the sake of it will either follow or you will come to embrace the fact that what you do is more important than what you feel

- if you can, make it known to the other person that you either don't feel love/care or experience it in a different way than most people, but want to treat them well regardless for whatever reasons you have

- if there are unconventional ways that you feel comfortable expressing affection, let them know the meaning behind them so that they recognise the actions as positive

- take note of how the other person expresses affection or just ask them directly, and if you can, mirror this

- create your own definition of love apart from the conventional or traditional ways; take influences from 'relationship anarchists' or just the general idea: no particular actions have to come packaged with a particular kind of relationship. you don't need to adopt any relationship label without the desire to. pick and choose which traditional forms of love/affection you want to engage in or reject them entirely

any tips on showing affection / care / love when you have no empathy and struggle with compassion?? i've been meaning to work on it grah

— Are you sure Burke wants to buy Collinwood? — Yes, he said so. I'm just afraid it's only the beginning of what he wants.

I'm actually rather surprised that not a single one of the boys made top three. but then again, I suppose the large number of straight men that play this game are not as visible in fan spaces as us lgbt. That is...a fortunate thing, though, I'd argue.

[descenderintofantasy]

That is quite possible. Though, I somehow doubt Hades would have just handed Mal over to a mentally unstable Maleficent without arguing. It was probably more like, "you can either take him and have sole custody. Or you never see either of them again! Choose."

As to if Mal and Hadie knew about each other, I would say they did. Becuse would Maleficent really pass up the opening to influence Mal to hate Hades more by saying, "Your father left and took your brother instead of you. He didn't want you, he never did." And Hades would have told Hadie becuse he wanted him to know he had a sister.

Who Is Hadie's Mother?

Since Descendants canon insists that Persephone DOES NOT EXIST, I have my own theory. On how Hades has a kid other than Mal on the Isle.

The books do not give Hadie an age nor a named mother. But it's generally accpted that he's younger than Mal.

So who is his mother?

My answer? Maleficent.

I'm not saying this just because of Rise of Red! Though it does help.

Think about it Hadie's mother would most likely have to be a high rank villainess to get close to Hades right? Most of the Isle fears and runs away from him. What other female villain would have the guts or possible inclination to get that close to Hades?--Evil Queen's not going to she's too preoccupied with Evie. Nor would she want another pregnancy to 'disrupt her figure' with her vanity.

I already have a theory that Hades didn't actually divorce Maleficent until Mal was five, as per her book memory of him. That's a five year gap of him staying with the same woman. Five years possability for another child to be born. Even when things started to going down hill and Hades wouldn't have intentionally had anythinng happen...well...angry intimacy is a thing...

Then Hades manged to take Hadie with him when he left probably becuse by then Maleficent didn't want any reminders and Hadie is a mini Hades. So she 'put all her cards in' Mal and the 'custody split' was one kid each.

Even if you say Hadie was born after the official divorce as a 'one-night stand' situation. Maleficent already knows her way around Hades, she dated him in high school, and she's the mother of his daughter. Plus, she has enough clout/rank on the Isle that she wouldn't just run away from him. It's not out of this world to me that she would be able to get close enough to Hades for Hadie to come into existence.

Then Maleficent left him on the doorstep of the Underworld as a baby, becuse he looked too like Hades for her liking.

But that's just my theory.
