#And wanting to move on but not being succesfull at it

Both are street smart. They have creative habilities and wilder imaginations than their siblings.

Both are artists. Stanley with the Shack's attractions and is smart enough not to bring monsters into the Shack and we have Lil Stanley that became succesfull in modern days.

Mabel can knit pretty fast and we can tell by the Mabel guide she has a way with editing stuff which can be quite hard for beginners and she speciallizes in Arts & Crafts as we saw her sculpt a wax Stan so reallistic, Stan for a second it was Ford-hence he was devastated for when it was killed.

Both also have more emotional intelligence; Stanley although he's hard on Dipper he doesn't treat him like his father did and tries to toughen him up for good reasons and makes sure both Mabel and Dipper feel welcomed in his Shack never once yelling at nor hitting them, gives them life advice, makes sure Mabel doesn't feel bad when things dont go well for her, constantly adressing her with nicknames like "Pumpkin" and "Sweetie" and we saw what he was able to do for her when he saved Waddles and is there for both of them when they need, to the point of sending them home when he couldn't take care of them as that could have been the best for them in Gideon Rises. Not to mention, he doesn't project onto others like Ford or Bill do and he actually can learn to move on whereas Ford's egocentric ass couldn't get over something that happened decades ago and despite being stingy he welcomed every single citizen and magical creature of Gravity Falls when the Weirdmageddon hit the town into the Mystery Shack letting them stay and share the food. Also its implied they had search parties to bring in anyone who might need help as we saw with Toby Determinated.

Not to mention he was kinda right, it felt unfair that after providing them shelter and food in the end of the world, they wanted to rescue their lives fighting against a demon who was essentially an unstoppable god for plan with an extremly little chance of success. Might I add Ford was who caused the end of the world by creating the portal in the first place and not trusting his family yet people were treating like a martyr and Stanley as the bad guy for just wanting to stay where it was safe for not only him but the townsfolk and his family when we all know Ford wouldn't help the entire town the same way Stan did it. (Which is worse with the confirmation that in every other timeline they didn't survive, both Dipper and Mabel get turned to stone or get snapped out of existance thanks to Bill, the townsfolk and magical creatures get eaten by Bill's henchmaniacs and the only one with the highest survival rate in those timelines was Ford given Bill's attachement to him so he has to live with the consequences of his actions until he hits 92 and even then Bill would probably find a way to make Ford live forever)

Also Stan wasn't aware of what Bill was doing to Ford. If he did, he would have run there and stop Bill.

And although is often overshadowed in fandom discussion for her selfishness, Mabel is more empathetic and emotionally mature than Dipper is:

-She tries to cheer Dipper up when he's down

-She doesn't wanna break Gideon's heart but at the time of breaking up with him she does it in a calm way so he understands even if Gideon was seconds ago from murdering Dipper (kudos to her for not freaking out sooner)

-She goes with the flow and enjoys the moment with Wendy's friends unlike Dipper who's worried to fit in with the group

-She gives Dipper the idea of him and Robbie hating eachother in silence

-Doesn't approve of cheating

-Realizes that Dipper is the one getting in his way to talk to Wendy

-Despite getting insulted by her, Mabel isnt outright rude to Pacifica like the latter is when they first met and has a proffesional attitude throughout the party even if they're rivals.

-Can see where she messes up and apologizes for it.

-She can tell Stan loves them both despite his treatment towards Dipper and still chooses to save Stan from Bill

-She refuses to give up even if things dont go well for them

-Decides to keep the bad memories in order to grow and learn

-Tries to be the bigger person as seen how she chose not to ruin Pacifica's world by telling her the truth about Nathatniel Northwest

-Although not in the most moral of ways, she tried to solve Robbie's problem but did not had him go out with Wendy again cause she knew those had no future together

-She knows Dipper and Ford's mission is more important and they can prepare their birthday later on

-In the finale once she was in a better state than what she was at the end of episode 17 and in the aftermath of leaving the bubble prison, even if it meant facing teenagehood alone, she was willing to let Dipper go if he wanted to stay in Gravity Falls with Ford

-She also doesn't hold grudges for so long as seen in her interactions with Pacifica. (Save for Bill but we all hate him and shes justified for it)

-Even in the TBOB you can argue she tries to be supportive of Bill in the sense of telling him he needs to move on from Ford as it's not healthy, even if she hates his guts for all he did to her family

She tries to do the right thing always, she's just a 12 year old growing up and realizing the world isn't so simple which can often lead to mistakes like the events of the Love God. But she does learn from those mistakes and the Mabel we see in the finale isnt like the Mabel from Tourist Trapped. Let's not forget she was the one to start the speech against Bill that Dipper continued when things were looking down after witnessing Bill's throne.

They can think quickly on their feet when the situation requires it;

Mabel:

Mabel was the one to come up with the plan to defeat the gnomes with the leafblower,

She steers the wheel of the boat to get everyone to safety when running from the GobbleWonker

Dhe gives Dipper a weapon when he's fighting Sherlock Holmes

Is quick to grab Gideon's amulet to save both Gideon and Dipper to later destroy it.

It was thanks to her goofiness they resolved Quentin Trembley's mystery.

Thanks to her plans they got the exact candy number needed for the Summerween monster (if Dipper hadnt accidently ruined it)

She was quick to distract Dipper by telling him Wendy was wearing a bikini and managed to get to the lake for Mermando even if he was chasing her.

Thanks to her and Soos spying on Gideon they find out about Bill and she's the one who tries to stop his plan the hardest by throwing herself at him upon seeing him in her grunkle's mind and thanks to her, Bill loses the code to Stan's safe in Dreamscappers

In Gideon Rises she suggests using the gnomes in her favor and her grappling hook saves her and Dipper from falling to their doom after the fight with the Gideon bot.

She was the one who came up with the karaoke idea in Scaryoke

she freezed the ShapeShifter

she managed to defeat the golf dwarves

she won Bipper and set Bill on fire,

she was the one who found out the laptop was McGucket's property

She overcame her fears of StopMotion and used clay monsters to save her family from the stop motion figures

She sees the opportunity to go to the Northwest Mansion to party and takes it,

In SINWHS she hatched the plan to get Manly Dan to crash the car so they could clear up Stan's name (without Mabel, we wouldn't have Ford in the show)

She alongside Stan saved Dipper and Ford from Probabilitor

She was the one who figured out Gideon was involved in the election after seeing how Bud was behaving similar to Gideon

she conviced the unicorns to give them the hair alongside some goodies (sure, with some punching but they had it coming cause they wouldn't have given it to her otherwise)

In Weirdmageddon, Mabel is the one creating escape routes by running on Waddles and bursting MabelLand's bubble with something from inside and she sprayed Bill's eye with paint, used her grappling hook and broke the Fearamid wall while Stan had the idea of changing clothes so the plan worked. Its also implied she was the one who made the parachutes out of her sweaters by tying them together in a matter of a few hours.

Other instances are the ones seen in Lost Legends; where thanks to her Pacifica and Dipper can escape MrWhats his face? and she's the one who saves Ford and Stan from an evil version of herself.

Stan;

Although we dont get much instances with Stan throughout s1 we still have....

The fact that he can convice people easiy to buy his stuff even if its clear they're fake

That time he crafted a plan to get the best spot in the pool

Managed to get into a TV show by faking a heart attack and almost wins more money than Mabel

Punched a pterodactyl in the face for Waddles.

It was thanks to him Gideon got behind bars.

He could stand against an army of zombies with just a bat and his knuckles.

Helped the kids break into the minigolf.

Almost succeeds in stealing an animatronic if it wasn't for Giffany.

In SINWHS, he was smart enough to have Soos secure the vending machine and he took advantage of the gravity falling to free himself and escape and steal someone's wallet to later trick the agents into thinking he was in a cab and run all the way to the Mystery Shack just to make in time before Dipper pressed the button.

As revealed in ATO2S, he managed to survive a decade of homelesness just by tricking and scamming people.

Could keep a ruse for 30 years while working in a portal with no help, which means he had to learn quantum physics despite not having great grades academically and not finishing highschool and he was able to create and operate a business that was far more succesfull than Fildbrick's pawn shop (despite Gideon making Stanley look bad, they have customers throughout the show and Soos had enough to support himself and his grandma that after losing the Shack, he had to work multiple part time jobs to make ends meet not to mention it seems Mabel and Dipper were given an allowance as we see them have enough money to buy stuff and they never went hungry under Stan's care)

Other accomplishments are that he managed to save the kids from an explosion Gideon caused in the election and he managed to survive the first days of Weirdmageddon, mostly by himself. Not to mention defeating Bill freaking Cipher.

Plus Stanley can detect a liar and a scammer when he sees one, to the point he was able to outdo Gideon who had the whole town wrapped around his adorable chubby little fingers for a looong time, managed to win DDAMD by cheating without the wizard knowing and trick Bill Cipher himself aka someone whos been doing the same thing as Stan for centuries even before Fildbrick was born and make him beg for mercy in his final moments, giving him a scar that will last for a looong time by punching him in the face. Stanley Pines is truly built different.

So yeah, neither of them are dumb. They just specialize in other areas

I am a firm believer that Stan and Mabel are not the "dumber" twins. They just aren't as interesting in 'nerd' stuff like Ford and Dipper are.

Stan was able to rebuild like 90% of the portal with only the 1 of the journals, most likely having to teach himself advanced mathematics and scientific theories to even understand what the thing is. It barely took him a few weeks to get the portal up and running after getting the other two journals. Not to mention how he was able to create a business and keep people entertained at his day job. The man is smart.

Mabel is able to create sweaters at the drop of a hat. If you don't know anything about knitting, it takes a lot of math and planning to be able to make a sweater, and Mabel is constantly making them for everyone around her. She made a full 2 act puppet shows with musical numbers and sets and well made puppets in like a week. She may not be interested in the 'nerd' stuff like Dipper, but she's creative and thinks in innovative ways.

Both of them are amazingly charismatic. They can make friends and bond with those around them easily, whether it be for business purposes like Stan or simply childlike positivity like Mabel.

They aren't dumb.

When playing the hikikomori run, I really hoped one chore would involve Sunny going outside and accidently running into Kel. Ofcourse the whole point of a hikikomori is to stay indoors, but I had already imagined different senarios of what might’ve happened. I know Sunny isn’t this expresive but I like drawing expresions ok >:(

  Here’s my idea of what would’ve happened if one of the chores did involve going outside. I’m no writer so if anyone wants to fleshen out this idea, please do so. - As in my little comic, the chore would involve Sunny having to go to one of the stores to buy something. Like maybe buying flowers to go visit his sisters grave one last time before moving away. - On the last day, Kel would be having a picknick with his family at the Faraway park, as he does in the normal route of the game - When on his way towards the stores, Sunny runs into Kel. - I like to think Kel felt a lot of guilt and sort of responsible for not being able to get Sunny out of the house after his siters death. - Kel always held hope that maybe him and his friends could rekindle. After Mari’s death he tried really hard to hold everyone together, but wasn’t succesfull. - When he notices that Sunny’s house was up for sale, he tried to get in touch again. But after many failed attempt he gives up. - At the park Kel immedietly sprints torwards Sunny, happy as can be. He wants to spent as much time with him as possible with his best friend, before he moves away. - Even if the time spent together is running around doing chores. He just wants to hang out with Sunny one last time. - Especially after failing to get Sunny out of the house on the ‘three days left’ he’s more than happy to finally see him outside of the house - When Sunny rejects him, he’s taken aback. - Kel is left, thinking that all this time Sunny spent in the house/ didn’t open the door, was not because of grief, but because Sunny just doesn’t want to spent any time with him. - Sunny just goes about his day, buying the flowers and eventually bringing them to Mari. (maybe meeting Aubrey at the graveyard which would’ve lead to a confrontation :0)

I hate that Sunny’s mom tells us that Kel seems very lonely, cause that means he was lonely for four years and now after those four very lonely years, he gets rejected by his supposed ‘childhood best friend’.

English isn’t my first language sorry

An apple a day...

Is Circe a good doctor ?

It’s no secret, at least for the player, that Circe is not a kind nor sweet medical worker who heal people just for the good of it.

Circe is not a good-natured person. She knows many ways to inflect pain, is involved in human experimentations, and she seems to enjoy it, as one of her psp secret says : Nothing excites her more than volunteering for crazy science experiments. Funny, since this secret is unlock if you are intimate with her in the game. So it seems to be common knowledge for her partners. Such a mean Sims can’t be a good doctor right ? Well there is stuff to explore.

First, why did she choose such a career path ? She clearly doesn’t care about one ´ s health or well-being. Quite the opposite. Well, I can see three reasons. Money, distinction and her hidden knowledge aspiration.

I. Money :

 Circe is, first and foremost, a fortune Sims. As such she wants to be rich. The prima guide states that there is ideal career path for fortune sims : buisness, criminal and medical. Well, criminal is low-paying until you reach a certain level, and is quite dangerous. Chief of staff is not only a profit-making hight paying job, it’s also a social distinction. 

II. Distinction 

Chief of staff is not only a profit-making hight paying job, it’s also a social distinction. The description reads : You are one of the most respected physicians in SimCity. It’s about recognition and chosing a social and economic identity marker. Doctor are seen, in most culture, as a very succesfull career track. Also, one of her psp secret reavals she ´ s jalous of Loki ´s distinction, meaning she wants ones for herself. But there is an another reason as why she chose the medecine career track.

III. Knowledge.

This also mean shés ambitous and her goal is to reach the top of her career.

Don't let the inconvenience of the truth interfere with your career ambitions! Hone the skills to lie, cheat, and steal with the SensoTwitch Lie Finder. Its patented Brainwave Twitch Needle detects even the tiniest nervous mental tic. Fool the Lie Finder, and you can fool anyone!

That was the description of the infamous SensoTwitch Lie Finder. The "career" ambitions mentionned here are obviously directed to criminals. So why is it so usefull to Circe ? We can always remember that ts2 storylines and events act as a little tutorial and show you some game features. But I prefere to imagine stories behind it. It's too good to be a coincidence. I think the Beakers got or made the lie detector to help them in their career, especially Circe.Of course they are testing it on Nervous first, better be cautious. But then, is she going to practice lying ? It is suppose to convey that Circe could do anything for her glorious career ? Really Anything ? Or does she want to hide her human experimentations ? Both ? I think Circe really will do anything to advance her career, but doesn’t really need to since she is so talented. But, as she becames a more notorious SimsCity Citizen, her reponsabilities and fame can very well blow off everything and the Beakers secret experiments could be exposed. That’s why she is risking her career her. That the core of the Beakers story. Also, let’s not forget she clearly can sell medecine from home. Making profite and medical discoveries are more important than health. Money and Knowledge first. 

A good doctor is not necessarly a nice or kind doctor. It’s a efficient one. Who cares about her intention if she ´s profesional enought. Not caring for her patient but her career is obviously Circe’s mindset. But if moving up the social ladder brings money, it also comes with responsabilites and recognition that could very well be dangerous for our dear Circe.

Also imagine everything Zerum and Seb's family had to go through after his "death"; both parties most likely became social pariahs and Zerum might have lost contact with Seb's friends and her own cause they didn't want to keep in touch with a murderer's wife and she most likely couldn't move away so easily cause she needed cash and was having a hard time finding a job since her husband was-in the eyes of the public-a murderer and she didn't want to leave Seb's family all alone dealing with the blacklash and hatred.

And it had been two years after his execution that Sebastian's innocence was proven so for all we know those two years must have been the worst of her life as whos to say she hadnt been a victim of agression by different people that thought she deserved to suffer for being married to a killer by either blaming her for not knowing, defamation, public humilation or harassment (verbal, physical or maybe even sexual) or attacks directed at her husband or his family like desecrating his grave or kids bullying his younger brother, making it harder for his sister to find a job and blaming Seb´s mother for how awfull her kid turned out to be. Or people making Sebastian out to be a heartless cruel monster with no regard for human lives and Zerum his victim maybe even some theorizing she had a part in the murders hence she was defending him.

All while knowing he´s innocent but only 2 years after his death, his name is cleared, with no way of bringing him back and just living without him. And even if his name was cleared, theres the possiblity of Zerum and his family still suffering cause that could cause the people who worked in Sebastian's case to get fired and have their lives potentially ruined and decided to take it out on his family via harassment.

It wouldn´t surprise me that Zerum (OC) fell into a depression with everything that might have happpened to her cause both her and Seb were robbed of a happy life together.

And she had to go through the same expierence of becoming a monster, getting experimented on and getting her vision ruined by not only having sea bunny dna inserted on her and losing an eye in the process of fusing her with void mass judging by the purple liquid (which indicates her blood is now filled with void mass), her ears were turned into sea bunny´s ears and she´s probably too poisonous to touch anyone (unless of course she can control that). There´s the theory of her being Z-V03 since the Z-V02 is described as "A failed manifestation of a humanoid figure akin to that of a person" and Z-V04 is a much larger creature even if its undentified and the V05 is described as "A larger more rugged humanoid figure" but this also means the possibility of being used as a weapon for Urbanshade armory.

As to why shes with Urbanshade its probably cause either she was kidnapped/taken away by Urbanshade when getting too close to the truth of what had actually happened to her hubby or maybe she was tricked to join them thanks to Mr Shade as he might have symphatised with her for losing a loved one, since his daughter Lucy was stillborn, in a succesfull attempt which ended with her being forced to be a test subject.

....Who the fuck gave a silly Roblox game the right to have lore that's so fucking sad and heartbreaking?

Me thinking about what dialogue Zerum (OC) could have in the game and how it could hint towards or be directly about her relationship with Sebastian, kinda like Painter has some lines about Sebastian and the fandom piecing some ideas together from that (before it was clarified through discord lore)

And I am just

The potential sadness of their relationship being through the wringer of Urbanshade because they both were normal human(oid)s or bunny in Zerum's case but then Urbanshade got them and now Seb is this fish monster and Zerum is this whatever infected with void mass.

And like

I am just making myself sad with the potential tragedy because Sebastian already is such a tragic character and this is what makes him so compelling to me, and this is what makes me so compelled towards the marriage lore.

let's talk about Reiner and Bertholdt playing chess for a bit

I am a real amateur in chess, I only played in a school club and against my grandpa who is literally a chess grandmaster - the last time I've played chess was like 5 years ago. But still, let me express my opinion.

First of all, they put the chessboard the wrong way.

So they are sitting on the wrong sides of the chessboard.

side note: I'm not aware if the chessboard is placed differently in Japan, maybe it is

When it comes to the layout of the figures on the board... the picture is really unclear

This is the last seen layout on the board (i.e. after both Reiner and Bertholdt made their moves)

What can i conclude from this?

Well, Reiner and Bertholdt both lost the same chess figures - two pawns, one rook and one knight. So, score-wise they are tied.

But, if we look at Bert's side, we can see that he hardly moved any of the valuable pieces (the ones that are not pawns). The major amount - half of it - of chess figures is in the back row.

In Reiner's case the figures are distributed evenly along four rows - most of the figures have been moved by him, even the powerful ones who are usually reserved for the end of the game.

So I think you can really see the style of playing that each of them prefers. And how succesfull both of them are.

Bertholdt opts for playing with small amount of chess figures for a long time. It's very rare for a player not to move the heavy artillery (rooks, knights, queen etc) - so I find it interesting in Bertholdt's style. He's being very hesitant and moves primarily pawns as if to test the waters and find out the tactics of the opponent.

When it comes to Reiner - his style is the complete opposite to Bertholdt's. He has touched and moved almost every chess figure he owns. I think he tries to throw everything he's got at the opponent - funny enough, kids often choose this tactic.

So Bertholdt is playing carefully and doesn't feed the heavy artillery to the opponent. But Reiner's style is very overwhelming thus he manages to capture Bertholdt's figures - but Reiner's style is also aggressive and is not fit for defense which causes him to lose his figures.

Anyways, that's all I wanted to talk about.

[orlissa]

A moment of pettiness: my high school class had a reunion today. I didn’t go, I didn’t want to, because these people, while individually find them lovely, en mass caused me a lot of suffering, and because I’m not “succesfull” (single, no kids), they probably would have just made me feel like shit. I follow some of them on Facebook, see what’s happening with them, I’m reasonably happy for them, let’s move on.

But there was one person. A guy. A regular sociopath. Or just a simply terrible human being. Once they made us take an IQ test designed for teenagers, he and I were the only ones who scored so high the test didn’t measure it. Once, in thigh high days of MSN, he pretended to be a girl and contacted me through fan groups, and we talked, and I specificly remember telling him whom I had a crush on (another guy in our class). He played me like a fool, intent on humiliating me. If I ever came up with an idea for the class, for like school events and contests and such, he always needed to come up with another, and get the others to choose his, just to slight me (once we had to put on a little play. I came up with an idea, the class accepted it. He came up with another idea within days just to challange me). I was a threat to him, I guess--somebody who matched his intellect, but had opposing opinions.

He started doing drugs during high school. Weed, and who knows what else. Never heard about him again after graduation, and now a part of me wants to see him really, really low.

THE MAGE

1st Wand: Red oak, dragon heartstring, flexible, 13″

2st Wand: Cypress, phoenix feather, unyielding flexibility, 14″

"Cypress wands are associated with nobility. The great medieval wandmaker, Geraint Ollivander, wrote that he was always honoured to match a cypress wand, for he knew he was meeting a witch or wizard who would die a heroic death. Fortunately, in these less blood-thirsty times, the possessors of cypress wands are rarely called upon to lay down their lives, though doubtless many of them would do so if required. Wands of cypress find their soul mates among the brave, the bold and the self-sacrificing: those who are unafraid to confront the shadows in their own and others’ natures.

-

Animagus: Black Hawk

⦁ Night’s one of the favorite thing is being in sky. No matter the weather, day or night, you can see Night in the sky or daydreaming while looking at clouds/stars. They spend little too much time as a hawk. Night’s hawk form is a regular Black Hawk with blue eyes.

-

Misc Magical Abilities: Legilimens, Occlumens

⦁ Being Legilimens in Rhea family is not something unexpected. Night's father Matthew realized his younger child is Legilimens when they were seven years old. But he never believed they can use it perfectly. Night didnt used Legilimency properly until their fifth year. İn two years, Night was able to use this ability without wand. Even though it was enough for them, Snape warned Night about not stopping training, and wanted them to learn Occlumency too. Yakup was already Occlumens and very skilled Legilimens, and with a threat of their also Legilimens uncle, Night didnt questioned at all. With their brother's help, Night mastered these two magical ability in years.

-

Boggart Form: Night had 3 different Boggart in their life

⦁ Yakup (Jacob), with dark mark on his arm and looking at Night madly.

⦁ Rowan, saying everything would be better if it was Night who died.

⦁ Theirself, covered with blood and smiling madly, with Dark Mark.

-

⦁ Amortentia: (What do they smell like?) Deep forest, rain, ocean, cold air, jasmine, black tea

-

⦁ Patronus: Hawk, Hebridean Black-Dragon (After Rowan’s death)

Dragon patronus; One of the most powerful and formidable creatures of the magical world, dragons are ambitious and dominant. With the ability to breathe fire, they quickly assert themselves, garnering both fear and respect from those around them. They are unafraid to take risks and prefer to live by their own set of rules. They are quick to lead and do not back down from a challenge. Dragons are strong in their convictions and will stand for what they believe is right. Those with a dragon for a Patronus are sure to be fierce fighters, and the Dementors better be ready for a challenge.

-

Patronus Memory: 

Playing with Cordell, Barnaby and Atlas (@vixenmcmahenhphm ) when they were child.

Quidditch: Chaser-Beater

⦁ Night started to play Quidditch in their second year as a Chaser. While they wasnt the best chaser, Night was enough to help Slytherin to win the Cup. They meet Gryfindor Chaser-Vixen during practise and whole year, they werent be able to be better chaser than her. The rivalry between her and Night made the dark haired kid realize maybe being chaser wasnt really something for them. in third year, thanks to McNully, they started to play as a beater, and find theirself being more succesfull than ever. After that, Vixen and Night's rivalry become more friendly. (Beginning of Nixen Au)

⦁ Their favorite practise partners are Charlie, Samantha (@samshogwarts ), Vixen (@vixenmcmahenhphm ) Andre, Orion and Rath.

⦁ Whenever Night was angry or stressed, and even flying didnt make them calm, they took the beaters bat and destroy some dummies. İn fourth year, Night injured some second year student. They were angry about Merula, and just wanted hurt something. So they went for dummies in Training Ground. Night wasnt looking actually where they was hitting, there was just the feeling of fullness . A sharp scream bring them to reality. İt was the first time they hurt someone out of anger, and unfortunatelly wasnt the last.

Favourite Professors: 

Madam Hoach: She is strong and powerfull woman and her tough behavior makes Night adore her. And one quick note, Night is really afraid of making her mad. During their school life, Night interacted with her so often thanks to their Quidditch love.

McGonnagal: Even if she is not Night's head of house, Night find her much more easier to talk than other proffesors. They feel deeply guilty about the times they had to lie to her. McGonnagal and Talbott's close relationship makes Night feel even more warm about her.

Flitwick: He is someone who Night doesnt have any problem to talk. They enjoy his classes, and little chats they share. Night often share the teas their granpa send them from Turkey, and Flitwick always appreciate.

Least Favourite Professors: 

Snape: No one need a reason to dislike him, but Night actually doesnt hate him.

RELATIONSHIPS

Father: Matthew Rhea

Second son of Alexander and Alycia Rhea. Known for his dicipline he got from his father, and his talent in Legilimency. İn Rhea family, the ones worth is same as their power in this magical ability. Being better than his older brother, made Matthew the golden child of family. And as you can imagine it seperated the brothers. Matthew was loyal follower of Dark Lord, a feared Death Eater. He believed wizarding world will be better with Voldemort, and never regretted for following him. Even if it cost his life.

He was never the father figure to Night. They doesnt remember him smiling to them, even for once. On Night's fifth birthday, Matthew decided to send them to Turkey, to Seline's family. For three years, Night stayed away from their home, with their grandfather and only comes back in summers when Yakup is back from Hogwarts. İn 1981 (When Night was eight years old) Matthew died in war, and Seline let Night to come back.

-

Mother: Seline Rhea

Youngest in five sibling, fourth daughter of İbrahim and Saadet Yavuz. Seline lost her mother when she was two, so she has no memory of Saadet. İbrahim never treat any of his child differently and loved them all same, but Seline never been close to him, or most of her siblings. Even when she was a child, she was quiet, and keeping her distance from everyone. Books were her best and only friends. So when Seline meet with Matthew, leaving her home and country wasnt actually hard decision to made. Seline loved Matthew with her whole heart. He wasnt trying to change her, and that was what she was asking for, for her whole life. Young woman knows, that he was interested in her being Legilimens, but she didnt care. If she was powerfull enough for him to want her as his wife, she thinks its something she should be proud of.

She fit perfectly in Rhea's. Her new house was nothing like Yavuz's warm and loud house, just like how she is also nothing like. Seline couldnt be more proud, when she and Matthew discovered Jacob is also Legilimens. She was excited for her second child too, but when she hold her newborn, she saw the look on Matthew eyes. The disapointment. He didnt like his child to have bright blue hair. At first, Seline didnt think it will be problem, its only color of hair after all. But real problem was, Night being nothing like a Rhea. They were energetic, loud child. Running in house, climbing on whatever they finds, jumping on every water pot they saw. Seline knows they were exactly like her own siblings, nieces. Night wasnt nothing like Jacob (Seline's Turkish accent turned his name into Yakup).

On the fifth birthday that Night turned five, she didnt even say anything when Matthew told her to send Night to Turkey, next to her father.

After Matthew died, Yakup was her everything. And Night was.. Just someone from her past, her own family, something she wanted to leave her behind but couldnt. Unfortunatelly, not so long after Matthew death, Yakup get expelled from Hogwarts and went missing. To find him, Seline did something she thought she wont be ever doing it. She begged Matthew's brother Jonathan for help. And her answer was only a smile. A cold smile, belongs to someone who is happy to have all the control on family now

Night's three year, when they were alone with their mother was, rough. Everyday was about Yakup, about finding him. To have Seline's attention, Night do everything they can do to act like Yakup, look like Yakup. İt was impossible for them, but in their mind it was their only goal. Being someone their mother will love.

The first time Seline looked lovingly at them, was when Night was about to get in Hogwarts Express. When they promised her to find Yakup.

Sibling: Jacob (Yakup) Rhea

Yakup and Night werent able to spend much time together, when they were child. Thanks to their ten year difference between their ages, they only saw each other in summers. İn their cold house, Yakup was the only one who loved Night deeply, other than their nany Goni. He was well aware of how his Pip wasnt like his other cousins, other Rhea's, and  that was enough reason for him to love them. Their smile and loud excited voice was the thing warms the house in Yakup's eyes. 

When he get expelled, he knows all of his burdens became Night's. He regretted deeply, but there was nothing he can do from a portrait. He waited for his "sister" to rescue him, waited so patiently and dreamed the day they reunited. But when Night finally came, it wasnt like how he imagined. 

They both wanted to have back the ones they remember from seven years ago. But the truth is, both were so different now, and they doesnt want to admit it. Their old beautiful relationship was gone now, and wont be same for so long. After Hogwarts, they fight a lot. Argued a lot, couldnt agree on same things. Until Night took the mission that will change their life forever.

When Night first runned away, right after they killed an auror in front of him, Yakup lived the hardest weeks in his life. He saw in their eyes himself, how he was when he first get expelled. He already knew Night changed so much, when Rowan died. And couldnt help but feel like all of it was his fault. Now his Pip was so lost inside, so lost that couldnt able to see whats wrong or right. So he searched for Night with everything he has. 

Of course he didnt know it was all part of their plan. Thankfully soon enough, Night came back to him to explain everything. That they will be a spy in Death Eaters, and needs him to be their Secret Keeper. But also they needed him to promise. Promise to see the mission more important than their life. (Will be contunied in Future AU)

After war, their relationship was better than ever, and they finally have the sibling they both missed so much.

-

Grandfather (Mother's Dad): İbrahim Yavuz

Lovely Turkish old man who looked after his five children alone, after his wife died. He loved all of his kids all same, but his kids are all different. Four daughter and one son, Seline was the youngest one, and the coldest one to İbrahim.

One day when Night and their nany Goni showed up on his door, he was more suprised than he was happy. Living with tiny energetic child  who cant understand his own language for three years was actually hard for İbrahim. But thanks to Goni who can talk to both languages, Night started to understand and talk Turkish in short time. Well enough to have an accent actually. With their cousins, aunts and uncle here, Night actually had a big and  lovely home there. Their name was hard to pronounce in Turkish, so İbrahim gave them another name. He never liked Night's names meaning, and choose the name that means entirelly opposite of 'Night'. "Nur". It means " The light of the God" and İbrahim thinks it fits his grandchildren more.

As much as Night loved the Yavuz household and Turkey, they missed their mother, brother,home. Ibrahim wasnt sure if Seline would take Night back to England, if Matthew didnt died. He was hoping Seline would come back now, with her son. But Seline refused, and instead of coming back to Turkey, she took Night back.

Night wrote letters to him so often, and in every change they visit Turkey. İbrahim was parent to them, more than their own family and they couldnt be more grateful to have him as grandfather.

-

Uncle: Jonathan Rhea

First son of Alexander and Alycia Rhea. He is only two years older than Matthew. He married with Elyssa Black, and had two child. Cora Rhea, a Legilimens and  two years older than Jacob; and Cordell Rhea in same age with Night. İn 1981, Jonathan lost his daughter and his wife.

Losing half of his own family shaked him deeply, but on the other hand, now Matthew is also gone,and it was good enough to make him forget about his pain. All the responsibilty of Rhea's is now Jonathan's. He is the only one who is head of family now. Or at least, its what he think.

Little he know Seline will be the biggest impediment to him. She wont let him to take the big house (Where Matthew and her staying with their childs, because Matthew was the head of family) She refused him, and told him Yakup will be the one who will take Matthew's place. She knows how Jonathan hate her and Yakup. He wouldnt let Seline stay in family or even England. So she fight with Jonathan with all her power. Until Yakup disappears.

After that, Seline lost her hopes, she even begged him to help her find her son.She promised to leave England if he helps. But Jonathan didnt care, he took everything he wanted after all. The house, being the important one. He was no longer the one who is forgotten in his little brothers shadow. He is the one who is in control now. He even took Night from Seline. Night lived in his house from their fourth year to seventh year.

When Night started Hogwarts, Jonathan told his son to stop them. From finding Yakup. Because he cant risk his nephew to come back, and took everything he earned.  Unfortunatelly, his fears will come true and Yakup will come back. Jonathan will hate him with all his being and this hate will be dangerous when Voldemort returns.

Jonathan will be the one, who offer Night a place in Death Eaters when Night run away from their first crime. He will say he is proud of them for choosing the right way and realizing Yakup is the traitor one, not him. And will say Matthew would be also proud of them.

During war time, Jonathan will be the biggest enemy of Night, even if he wont know about it.

Love Interest: 

Talight- Talbott Winger 

Night and him meet in third year thanks to Penny. Night didnt even know his name,and Talbott was staying away from the cursed vault kid to avoid trouble. It actually took them long time to be close friends. But once they became friends, they found theirselves a way to escape from other. At first, they see each other as a someone who can understand other ones feelings. Talbott learned Night isnt always as happy as they seems or they isnt just a selfish troublemaker. And Night learned Talbott isnt someone who has stone cold heart and doesnt care about others. They so often fly together in night, sit in silent in owlery, read their own books in libary,and sometimes running/flying around just for fun. Talbott learned to like some harmless chaos, and Night learned to be not afraid of silence. İn fourth year, Night realized they have deeper feelings for him, but couldnt risk to lose his friendship. They were happy enough to have him as friend. But Tulip reading their secret notebook out loud didnt help them to hide their feelings. The notebook was written in Turkish so no one could understand, but Night completely forget about how Tulip actually knows Turkish. Even if it happened out of Night's control, it didnt end like how Night feared. 

As much as they both loved each other, being in relationship is something these two doesnt know well. İn fifth year, they dealed with some tiny (!) jealousy. Night meets with Jae, and being in detention whole year help them become a close friend in short time. Being busy with Rakepick and her tasks, Night was quiet busy and Jae was the only one they can see without needing help. (Remember how Rowan said they were only comes to their friend to get help?) Our little bird didnt like to feel in this way. But this feeling wasnt just keeping "him" awake in nights. It was eating Night from inside too. They were aware of how they couldnt see Talbott so often, and actually missing  their piecefull times together. They couldnt help but notice how he got close with Badeea. Not that they thinks Talbott shouldnt have friends. Actually they were happy about how these two Ravenclaw sharing their own worlds to each other. Night just, felt unsure if they are good enough for Talbott, in a way Badeea is more than enough. Night and Badeea were so different, and Night  couldnt help but compare theirself with her. Our couple didnt actually broke up, but i can say they had some walls between their hearts now, the ones they both didnt wanted but thought other one needs it. They goes to Summer Festival, with different people. Wanna guess who?? Of course Badeea and Jae. They both watch each other laugh with someone else. But in the end of the year, when Night and others came back from Buried Vault, Talbott was the one who hold them while they were crying.

Next two year, they both supported each other. (Yes im just skipping all the things because, there is things im excited to write and draw and dont wanna spoil it here). But before graduation, Night wanted to break up. To focus on theirselves. Night knows how Talbott worked hard to be auror, and they doesnt want him to worry about them while having so many things to worry about already. Talbott didnt like the idea of course, refused at first. He blamed them, get angry, didnt talked to them for days. But then, he understood why Night saying these. To accept it, he wanted them to promise him something. That they will come back to him. No matter as what, as a lover, as a friend, as a someone who still have warmt in their heart for him.

Well, in a way, Night keep their promise. (Will be continued in Future AU)

Nelix- Felix Rosier 

İn Hogwarts, their relationship was mostly about Felix trying to keep Night out of trouble and fail every time. He became Dragonologist when he graduated, and Night send him maybe too many letters to ask about life in Romania. (Charlie also aprecciated his letters too, as you can imagine.) Being Dragonologist was Night's dream job, even if they doesnt think they will be doing it in future. So after graduation, just to see Charlie, dragons and Romania (definitelly not to see Felix, please) they travelled there a lot.

Seeing each other again, with other Death Eaters was not what they both hoped. Night knew Felix would be there. But for him, seeing Night there was shocking. He was disappointed, but thought about maybe Night was forced by their family, just like him. (Will be continued in Future AU)

After all the rough time they managed to survive, they both needed to heal from what they saw, what they did. And being far away from England was just what they needed.

Closest MC Friends: Let me know if i can put your mc's name here!

Miscellaneous:

⦁ With Felix words, Night is “too chaotic and energetic like a Gryfindor”. You can see them running around anytime -mostly after Jae, Vixen or Tonks- or laughing with tears on their face. Not to mention they have a loud voice and you will hear when they laugh everytime. (Chiara admit it later that she was afraid of telling her secret to Night just because of this. But dont worry, they can be very secretive.) Night’s face always wears their emotions, that means you can see a lot of weird and funny expressions.

⦁ Chocolate is the key of happy Night. Whenever they have a chocolate frog, you can see a bright smile on their face. Bad Quidditch match? They will eat chocolate angrily on Pitch. Bad exam? Chocolate again with a face that shows you how their brain is burned. Snape’s favorite punishment for Night? Honeydukes Ban. Night will probably just curl up on grass in Training Grounds and wait for the day pass. Also a cup of tea could make Night very happy too. Thanks to their grandpa, they know how to make tea in every way, so they would be so happy if you join them for tea.

⦁ Because of that bright attitude of them, Night wasnt taken seriously at first. When some older Slytherins talked about Jacob in common room, everyone in room learned about how Night doesnt hold back when they are angry. İn years, they did a lot of things out of anger that they will regret later.

⦁ Night is a person who cant tell easily their negative feeling.When they got sad, they got quiet. Mostly Night just hide their sadness behind their smile and hope that it will be gone.

Praised be writer’s block | Young!Remus Lupin x Slytherin!Fem!Reader.

SUMMARY: in the midst of an upcoming war and worries about the future, (Y/N) bonds with an unexpected person, golden boy from gryffindor house himself.

WORD COUNT: 3,000, more or less…

A/N: this is my first time doing this, so if you have any suggestions please let me know! also, if you can, reblog so it can reach more people, it’ll help me a lot.

All of this wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for @peeves-a-legend​, which btw is an amazing writer. I can’t thank you enough!

Masterlist.

The gif below is not mine, credits to the original maker. And yes, I see robert sean leonard as a young!remus, but you can imagine whoever you want.

In one of the few sunny and warm mornings left of the season, (Y/N)’s mother had dragged her to Diagon Alley to buy her school’s supplies. The term for her sixth year was about ten days away from starting and going there didn’t thrill her anymore. She had retarded the visit as long as her mother’s patience lasted (which wasn’t a lot considering the woman had belonged to Hufflepuff), and no one had been succesfull on finding the reason, althought her mum suspected it. 

(Y/N) hadn’t felt the rush of excitement run through her body in a long time when she thought about going back to Hogwarts, and buying supplies meant she was only a step closer. Her first two years were more than she could ever ask for, but everything came crashing down on her at the young age of thirteen. 

(Y/N) had started to notice the repulsive look on people’s faces whenever she tried to help them, all looking down at her green robes as if she had grown a third arm or a second head overnight. She realised, with now a heavy weight on her heart and a new insecurity over her mind, that not all Hufflepuffs were kind and inviting. Maybe, she supposed, they were too proud to accept help from anyone else. 

Or perhaps, (Y/N) was too naive to think she could defy centuries of old stereotypes and unhealthy competitions while wearing a green and silver tie.

But the rude comments and weird stares had not affected her in such a long time. She didn’t show them how angry she got about those and how much she wanted to scream at those Gryffindors to get over themselves, because if she did, she was proving their point. All snakes, young or old, end up being violent creatures. Instead, a new feeling of uneasiness had settled in her mind, washing away her minor problems.

Peace no longer reigned over the Wizarding World. Rumors of a war were spreading like wildfire. Voldemort’s ranks got bigger and bigger with the passing time, and more muggle families and muggleborns were being wiped out, like they meant nothing. In those dark times, not having magic or being from a family with the wrong kind of ancestors, could determine your doom. 

In her case, she wasn’t at the top of the Dark Eater’s food chain as a halfblood, but that didn’t ease her nerves. She was more worried about her father, a muggleborn, her grandparents and several other friends. Many of their families wanted to go into hiding and she knew that this year and the others to come, Hogwarts wouldn’t be so magical.

Once they passed through the brick wall at the Leaky Cauldron,  their first stop was the Apothecary, which (Y/N) had refused to enter because of the disgusting smell of bad eggs and something more repulsive she didn’t identify. Instead, she decided to visit Quality Quidditch Supplies. It’s not like she played the sport, Merlin knows how awful she was at throwing or hitting things, and playing as Seeker was not an option. But she always attended the matches, channelling every single piece of energy her body had onto cheering for Slytherin’s team. 

(Y/N) made her way to one of the corners of the shop, wanting to see the newest Quidditch gloves her best friend had talked about so much in her letters. Maybe she could get her a new pair for her birthday, so she could start the season with brand new gloves. But looking at the price, she realized a cheappier gift would have to do. Her family wasn’t the richest and she knew her parents were struggling with money lately.

“Expensive, aren’t they?,” asked a voice from behind her. She turned around, one of the gloves still on her right hand, and noticed that the voice belonged to no other than Remus Lupin. She was lying to herself if she said he wasn’t good looking. Those dark brown eyes and soft hair had gotten to her when they were in their fourth year. (Y/N) had spent weeks, maybe even months, crushing on him and, of course, annoying her friends to no end about how perfect he was and how he was one of the few decent members of the lion house. But she never tried anything, she had a long list of excuses that, maybe, exceeded the many numerous reasons why she liked the Gryffindor so much.

“Definitely,” (Y/N) finally answered with a grimace in her face, “I thought I could get a pair for my best friend’s birthday since she’s a Chaser, but I’m not so sure now”.

Remus offered her a small smile and muttered something about how her best friend would appreciate anything she would give her. After that, neither of them said anything and only the noise of other people’s chattering could be heard. She looked around the store, trying to think about something that would lead to more talk, while Remus put his hands in his jeans’s pockets and changed the weight of his body to his left leg. 

A few more seconds passed and (Y/N), not tolerating the awkward atmosphere anymore, was the one to initiate the conversation this time.

“So, um, Remus, are you, um, planning on joining the Gryffindor Quidditch team? Since, you know, you are… here”. 

Merlin, her sister was right, she did need to start socialising more.

“Oh no, not a chance,” he answered letting a snicker escape his lips. (Y/N)’s mouth turned into a little smile because of the sound, not noticing at first. “I’m just here because of James and Sirius, they wanted to see some new brooms that came out this…”.

Remus words were interrupted by the same people he’d just mentioned. James Potter and Sirius Black, the most known students at Hogwarts, were walking towards them. (Y/N) tried to put on a neutral face, not showing her true thoughts on the two boys.

It wasn’t that she hated them. At some point, she had found her pranks on those horrible Slytherins funny, but after last year her opinion on them changed drastically. It appeared to be that they couldn’t distinguish who were the “good” Slytherins therefore they’d just played cruel jokes on every single member of the house. Or maybe, they didn’t think Slytherins could be nice and decent people, so all of them deserved to be made fun of.

“REMUS!,” they both shouted at the same time. Almost everyone in the shop turned to see them, and as (Y/N) moved uncomfortable with a scowled look because of the new, and unwanted attention, she wondered why they had to be so bloody loud all the time. “We were looking for you, but it seems you have found some company”.

Remus’s cheeks changed to a soft crimson after Sirius’s comment.

“Careful now, Rem, snakes tend to bite and some of them are poisonous.” James’s eyes shined with mischief as he spoke.

(Y/N) rolled her eyes at that, but instead of keeping quiet as she normally would, she responded to Potter’s remark, surprising the others and herself in the process.

“Excellent observation, James. Now, how much time did it take you to come up with that and for how long you’ve been wanting to use it? Perhaps, it was after that particular Quidditch match where Slytherin shredded you into pieces ”. 

His face no longer showed a fun expression, but, in it’s place, was a face with narrowed eyes trying to hide the fact he had been caught. (Y/N) smiled at that, she was not this kind of person but it was good to see Potter embarrassed after he had humiliated her in front of half the school just a few months ago. She knew Sirius wanted to say something to save his friend, but as his mouth was starting to open to spill some sarcastic or stupid comment about her house, Remus stepped in.

“Sirius, don’t say anything, just leave her alone,” he began, giving the pair a pointed look with his eyebrows raised, “we were only talking, there’s no need to start acting as if she’s going to bite my head off”.

Dumb and Dumber, as one her Slytherin friends liked to called them, stared at Remus like he had transformed into a Hipogriff. (Y/N), as surprised as she was, glanced at him with a confused, yet somehow grateful, look on her face.  In return, he smiled at her and grabbed his friends from the shoulders, making them walk towards the door while mentioning something about having to meet up with Peter at Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor. 

Before reaching the door, Remus turned around, let go of Sirius for a moment and waved at her with a grin, one that made her cheeks blushed and her stomach flipped.

|||

It had been months since the interaction between her and Remus, plus James and Sirius. A small smile and a certain glow in her eyes stayed present on her face for the rest of the trip to Diagon Alley with her mother, who had not missed the sudden shift in her daughter’s appearance.

She hadn’t talked much with him again (only a few more times because of their prefect meetings), but the little interactions between them remained. Like the gentle and kind smiles they would send to each other while walking in the school grounds and greetings from afar with a short wave of the hand.

Winter break was just around the corner when they met again. Both wrapped around heavy coats, gloves and scarfs protecting them from the cold wind and the freezing fog. (Y/N) would have been pissed about her feet getting wet from the snow if it wasn’t for the outstanding landscape it created. A pure scenery, grounds and trees and roofs of the castle covered in white, in such terrible and corrupted times. 

“Lovely, huh?,” he mouthed. 

What is it with this boy and sneaking up on people?

(Y/N) nodded, still unable to tear her eyes from the view. When she finally did, she became aware of how close they were, elbows almost touching. Releasing a shaky breath, that quickly changed into what it looked like fog, (Y/N) peered at him. The end of his nose was red, matching his cheeks, while his lips were pale and dry from the weather. It was an adorable sight, perhaps even more worthy of her attention than the snowflakes falling from the sky.

“What makes you go to Hogsmeade on this particular frosty afternoon, (Y/N)?”

“I could ask you the same thing, Remus,” she exclaimed, the corners of her mouth quirking up as she mentioned his name, “but, if you really like to know, I’m heading there because I forgot about some Christmas’s presents. What about you?”

Without perceiving it, they had both started to walk towards the small town, making their way through the layers of snow. 

“I just, um, wanted to visit Hogsmeade one last time before, you know, going home.” For a moment, (Y/N) had the idea of hearing some kind of hesitation while he spoke, as if he wasn’t entirely sure of what he was saying. 

This time, (Y/N) would not let the conversation turn awkward so rapidly, after all this was her chance of having an actual opportunity with Remus. So she swallowed the majority of her nerves, which were quite a lot, and planted a smile on her face. But before the words could come out of her mouth, Remus himself had beat her.

“Would you like to come to the Three Broomsticks with me?,” he questioned. 

It took her a few seconds to understand what he had asked because of how rushed he’d spoken. Her eyes widened at the notion of going on a date with him. Was it even a date? A small voice wondered inside her head. Ignoring it, she replied with a short yes. His entire demeanour immediately transformed. Remus’s eyes didn’t hold too much worry now and a large smile decorated his face. 

The trip to the popular pub was shorter than it normally was, but (Y/N) guessed that had been for how much she and Remus talked while walking to the town. When they arrived, the warm and cozy ambient, although a bit smoky and crowded, received them like a bright lamp post in the middle of nowhere pointing out the pathway. Even if (Y/N) loved winter and snow, a hot butterbeer didn’t seem too bad after being exposed to the cold wind.

Sitting down at one of the tables from the right corner of the shop, right next to a large window and giving the back to one of the walls, she could see the entire place. But her eyes were now glued to the Gryffindor seated in front of her, who was trying not to look like he was going to pass out from the nerves of having a date (was it a date?) with the most gorgeous girl in Hogwarts, maybe even the whole world.

They passed the rest of the afternoon getting to know each other, chatting regarding the things they loved and hated from Hogwarts; complaining about professors and the amount of homework they sent; laughing because of some ridiculous story told by Remus (he swore his breath got caught in his lungs as he watched her throwing her head back while letting out a loud laugh, eyes shining with happiness and not caring, for the first time, about the looks from the people in the place). They discussed their favourite muggle authors, the most amazing films that had ever been made and their dreams after finishing their education. 

(Y/N) had felt herself falling all over again for him while watching him talk about how much he’d loved being a professor and being there for his students. The passion and shine in his eyes rivaled even the brightest star in the night sky. 

And Remus had seen the same expression in her face when she talked about becoming a known writer in both the muggle and wizarding world. Despite her excitement, he recognised something else in her eyes, perhaps uncertainty or even sadness. When he asked about it, (Y/N) confided in him the fact she was scared about trying it.

“What if it’s a waste of time? What I’m supposed to write about?”

“It won’t be a waste of your time if it makes you happy,” he reassured her, “and the ideas will come to you, don’t worry. You can even write about us.” (Y/N)’s eyes quickly made their way into his after hearing that. “I mean, about this part of our world”. She couldn’t help but feel quite disappointed. 

“Wouldn’t I be violating the Statute of Secrecy?”

Remus raised his shoulders a little as he pressed his lips together, clearly trying to stop a smile from forming in his face. 

“It’s not like the Ministry is going to find out,” he whispered, so only (Y/N) could be able to listen to him, “ who’s going to tell them about it? Me?”

A scoff left her mouth and she rolled her eyes playfully at him. Was this really happening? Remus Lupin, the boy she had a crush on in her fourth year, sitting in front of her, encouraging her to follow her dreams.

“Is the Golden Boy and Prefect of Gryffindor House actually saying that I should just break an International Law?” she joked while shaking her head in disbelief, “McGonagall would be so heart broken”.

Now it was his time to roll his eyes. Directing a smirk at her, he leaned back in his chair, more relaxed and with a new light glowing around him.

“Look, I would love to write about this world. But ambition is not the only trait that got me in Slytherin,” (Y/N) declared. She beamed when he furrowed his brows together in confusion, getting closer to the table and placing his elbows on top of it. “Violating that Law is having a death wish and self preservation is one of my top priorities”.

“I can’t help but agree to that”.

The hours kept running and people began to leave the pub, but not them. They had stayed until the owner told the teenagers he was closing. Not (Y/N) nor Remus had noticed where the time had gone. Quickly, they collected all of their belongings and left the establishment in a hurry. (Y/N) didn’t want to think about the punishment they’d received if they were caught.

Fortunately, they made it to the castle in one piece. Once they were a few meters away from the entrance, they started to laugh. None of them knew why, it just seemed like a good time to do it.

“What happened to you and your advice of breaking the rules?” (Y/N) said in the middle of a laugh.

“I hope this doesn’t become a tradition, Mr. Lupin, Ms. (Y/L/N),” a stern female voice said in front of them. Professor McGonagall was standing gracefully in front of the door, her arms crossed over her chest and a furious expression implanted in her face.

Remus and (Y/N) looked at each other, the same thought running through their minds. They were so screwed.

December 25th.

Dear (Y/N):

I’m sending this letter to wish you a Merry Christmas and a great New Year, even though it’s not the 31st yet, but well… that doesn’t really matter right now.

I remembered you talking about how much you wanted to read more classics, and I couldn’t help myself. Inside the box, you will find Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, and Wuthering Heights, by some other lovely woman named Emily Brontë. I’m not so sure about why you would enjoy them as much as I did, but maybe they’ll inspire you on your journey of becoming a writer. It won’t hurt visiting new worlds to fill your mind with ideas.

Also, and I hope this doesn’t bother you, the books are not brand new. They were read by me and have some marks on the pages, but I don’t like giving new books as gifts. I think that if they were used, they are even more special and hold more value.

Can’t wait to see you once the break is over.

Sincerely, Remus John Lupin.

The grin on her face never abandoned her after reading Remus’s letter and opening the silver paper with golden stars all over it, in which he had wrapped the two books he had mentioned. In fact, it lingered on her for the rest of the day, accompanied with a special and renovated brightness in her eyes.  

Before letting the owl return back to its owner, (Y/N) gave her some food and water, and when it was ready, she attached a small box with red paper on the exterior and a green bow at the top. She had also prepared a gift for him, even if it wasn’t that meaningful (at least, that was what she thought). (Y/N) only hoped he would enjoy the chocolate stash, full with different muggle and wizarding ones she had thought he could try, while the owl stepped away from her windowsill.

Around eight p.m, she finally went to bed and despite spending the day interacting with her family, (thing that tired her out pretty quickly), (Y/N) was more awake than ever before. Laying down on her bed with a cup of tea and an old blanket that had once belonged to her sister, covering her legs, she grabbed one of the books Remus gifted her, ready to dwell in Mary Shelley’s world.

Hi! First of all, I just want to tell you that I love your blog! All of your answers are so well-written and detailed that reading over them were very helpful, thank you for the time and effort! Moving onto the question, I'm a virgo rising, making my chart ruler mercury. But my mercury, which is in gemini, is in retrograde. In addition, I have a gemini stellium in all of my personal planets, excluding the sun and moon. How do all of this affect my whole chart? Thank you in advance!

Hello! x Thank you so much for the kind words dear, it really means a lot! <3

Having the chart ruler in retrograde can mean that you have a harder time expressing yourself and finding your 'place' and direction. This all comes back to the fact, that when a planet is in retrograde it has to 'find itself'. Blindly copying what others do because it is considered normal and succesfull might not work, as you are meant to find your own way and really work with yourself. Mercury wants to be occupied and constantly on the go, taking in as much as possible. With Gemini in the chart ruler, this doubles the Mercurian energy and can make someone really torn what to focus on and dedicate their energy. When Mercury puts their energy into something, they can get burned out easily, because the body usually can't hold up to the mind and the mind actually drains the body in an attempt to remain awake and focused. So here this could lead to scatterdness and an imbalance in energy and maybe a indecisivness on what to focus on and take interest in. Virgo wants to find truly meaningful work, while Gemini's playful nature focuses more on the 'playful' part and really wants to come into contact with others and to exchange information. Generally speaking we can have a lack of direction here, losing the bigger picture in that sense and thus finding out focusing on many small things, but not really grasping the bigger picture. It can also feel like there is not enough room to fit everything someone wants to try into one lifetime, basically. But I think if this negative potential manifests, then it's always best to look at the opposite signs Sagittarius and Pisces to give inspiration and a dream to work towards. That being said, it can also be important to find people that can mentor you and give you a sense of direction or the self, this is where the wisedom and inspiration of the Jupiterian energy in Pisces and Sagittarius come in handy. But generally speaking your Gemini stellium calls for being engaged and a dislike of boredom. It's important here to dare to try things out, because only that can mellow Gemini's highly nervous energy that can lead to never being satisfied and jumping from situation to situation, topic to topic, etc.

Death comes in all colors

And here I come one year late with a few of my deaths’ headcanons for the lm3 ghosts-... in short story form because of course I gotta go the extra step,, TW: death mention and description (duh), bones breaking / asphyxiation , choking, firearm’s wounds, freezing, aneurysm. Steward - “A back-breaking job.” His last task for the day was to deliver the luggage that had gotten shipped to the hotel to the rightful rooms, ready to be found by the guests arriving in the morning. It was late at night and the overfilled bell cart, tucked away in the establishment’s warehouse, had gotten stuck between a wall and few boxes. As he was pulling the unstable mess from the side, trying to free it, the cart inclined towards him. The worn out belts barely restraining the luggage to begin with. A sickening “snap” breaking the night's silence, as the buckle of one of the worn out belts freeed itself from its prong, mercilessly hitting him straight across the face, hands instinctively going to cover his newly acquired wound as everything around him fell apart. The heavy suitcases and boxes completely crushed him, splitting his spine and breaking his ribs. A shard of the latter penetrating one of his lungs, making it burst. Unable to call for help, he slowly died by asphyxiation, the weight of the luggage “mercifully” taking his last breath away before the internal blood loss could. He is keen to both anger and panic attacks because of how he was treated when alive, both of those feeling still stirring in his heart, unable to find rest. Chambrea - “Feeling your heart in your throat.” The butler of the mansion where Chambrea served as a maid fell in love with her. Many letters and flowers were found in her small room in the following mornings, sweet smiles and compliments filling her days. Even though that was the closest thing she could get to one of the romances in her adored love novels and as much as she desired an happily ever-after, now she needed that job more than a stereotypical love story. She kept refusing him over and over, apologetic smiles following offers to pay him back the money the flowers must've costed. The servant, however, just couldn't stand the thought of rejection. Just as a rope being pulled over and over, he snapped. The night the inhabitants of the manor were out for a private party, he killed her in retaliation, strangling her to death. The thought of “if I can't have her, no one will” only made sense until the time to dispose the body came, clarity coming back to him as he dragged her body across the dark street. He hadn't much time to regret his actions, as Chambrea took her vengeance scaring him off the same bridge he was trying to use to dispose of her corpse. Neither of the bodies were ever found. She still loves to read romantic and tragic novels but she doesn’t feel ready for an actual relationship anytime soon. Her heart stuck in her throat every time she talks with a man, remembering her last moments alive. Steward is trying to slowly help her move on, is the least he can do for a friend colleague. Kruller - “A shot in the dark.” He was a night guard in training at the Grand Mall of the city. It was supposed his first night alone in his side of the mall, a more experienced co-worker taking care of the other half. It seemed a calm night like usual, more tiring the stressful. It would've been so if a thief hadn't managed to avoid security during closing time, hiding in the vents. After an hour or so of undisturbed shoplifting, Kruller finally encountered the criminal during the patrol of his side. Taser gun ready to fire in his shivering hands, still inexperienced in field action, the cop still found the courage to stutter a “Freeze!”. That word sealing his fate. A round of bullets perforating his stomach and chest as the mysterious man turned around firing by instinct, shocked by the sudden threat coming from behind him. The thief fled the scene, leaving the mall cop bleeding to death. The other night guard, alerted by the shoots rushed to his position, calling the ambulance at the sight of the blood pooling and running along the floor tiles. But help didn't come in time, Kruller last words desperately trying to describe the criminal, in hope of justice. He has a serious fear of both realistic looking and real firearms and he still has trouble speaking up from time to time, the remembrance of his error still lingering in his mind. Chef Soulfflé - “Best served cold.” Left behind by his trusted staff to make the inventory of the remaining and the needed supplies for the night, Soulfflé was checking the state of the meat in the freeze chamber. A few misplaced cleaning supplies tragically slipped from their grip on the tiled wall, still humid from the cooking vapor, falling on the chamber’s door, slowly closing it. The spine chilling click of the automatic lock making the chef drop the pack of meat he was inspecting. A few minutes passing with him trying to desperately call for help, the leftover hours of his life passed making peace with himself, writing down his will on the ingredients checklist he had with him. His staff only found his body the next morning, various aliments scattered on the floor, the cardboard where they were stored laying on the frozen corpse as a last hope to produce enough warmt to survive the night. He overcooks the meat by mistake: unable to feel warmth, no matter the temperature, for him everything will always be and remain cold. Amadeus Wolfgeist - “A heartbreaking performance.” Entire days and sleepless nights dedicated to that night, the evening of his concert- just for an aneurysm to take his life before he could complete that cursed melody. Slowly feeling his body crumbling from the inside, responding to his will no more. Hands grasping at the piano keys like a stray dog does with a found bone, his hunger for glory, for redemption, pushing him to keep on going. His fingers suddenly stiff, the last note mocking him with its silence as his vision completely faded to black. Falling to the harsh floor of his reality as red curtains covered the stage, marking his demise. His mind is still plagued by that composition, cursed to always rehears it but to never complete it, his hand still phasing through that last note. It is always better to keep an ear out for such music, just to know when is better to not interact with him at all. ...and that’s all- y’all can surely  see how in the last two stories I was just rushing through eh,,  I do want to share the titles and “plots” that where planned for the other ghosts! (Yes, giving titles is usually my fave part ahah)

MacFrights - “A stab to your pride.” Killed by a spear during a jousting tournament. His saddle slipped at the worst moment, letting his opponent’s weapon into the eye hole of his helmet. (My MacFrights’ design as a deep scar on his right eye, a bit OOC I know-) Dr. Potter - “Quiet as a falling leaf.” Died of old age. Came back to take care of the garden of his beloved wife, passed away years before him and now resting in her garden’s greenhouse, now her mausoleum. She already passed on, but Potter can’t let go of the only thing that remains of her, keeping him tied to the mortal world. (I kinda wish to come back to this one, maybe write a bit about it- but it’s a quite slim chance) Morty - “Letting the credits roll." (TW: suicide mention) Commited suicide via sleeping pills. He was the best conductor of his times, always aiming for perfection in every shot. It was when he reached the top that he understood that he could never reach that perfect dream of his, and that all that he was left with were just golden trophies and broken relationships. He let his movie end in hope of a sequel. (Another OOC, I like the idea of him being the complete opposite of what he was in real life, some sort of desire for redeeming himself and truly enjoy his love for movies. I want to write about this one, I really want to expand on this- so I might have a stand alone fan-fic for this.) Ug - “Flesh and bone.” Died of starvation. Not much to say about him- he lived in tough times with scarce food. Clem - “Washing away your memories.” While he worked in the sewers, he drowned after some falling pipes hit his head, beating him unconscious. He suffers from memory loss, not remembering anything from his mortal life- except a deep love for ducks. (Headcanon of mine is that he worked at a farm with his mother and many siblings- he accept a job into the sewer system to help his family in a time of struggle of the farm.) Serpci - “Sacrifices must be made." Offered herself to be sacrificed to the gods, to help his reign during dark times. Lindsay, Nikky, Ginny - “Warming up the audience.” (TW: childrean’s death) One of their fire tricks malfuctioned, ending into an fire enveloping the room they were performing in. They died of suffocation, due to the thick smoke, before the flames could reach them. Lindsay, the older sister, protected her two siblings until the end. Capitain Hook - “Putting salt on a wound.” Eaten by the shark he was hunting for half his life. Fate played the cruel joke to turn him into his most hated enemy once he became a ghost. Johnny Deepend - “Hitting on you.” Hit his head on the side of the pool as he was attempting a complex dive, trying to hit on his crush. It wasn’t his most succesfull move- Phantasmagloria - “Shock! at the disco.” (Yes I’m P!ATD trash thank you for noticing lmao) She was electrocuted by her malfunctioning equipment.

[books-and-milkshakes]

Hey ho there, I'm not sure if I already asked this, and of course feel free to ignore it, but I wonder: if you had full creative control of the show, how would you run season 5? You can pick and choose whatever leaks you want to include.

Thank you for the ask! I had fun reading all these speculations. Honestly, I haven’t really speculated on S5, mostly because it makes me sad. Who needs canon when you can have AU’s?

My gut reaction is that I want Bughead to do long distance and they make it work. Then when everyone gets back to Riverdale, they are the old married couple who judge all their friends drama. However with the s4 ending in mind, I also wouldn’t be mad about these character developments.

Betty: She actually flees Riverdale as soon as graduation is over. She kind of snaps and just wants to leave this town that has caused her so much pain and trauma. She goes to college with Cheryl and Toni and completely focuses on her school. Eventually, she is forced to go to therapy and truly starts working through all her issues. I want Betty to be happy and have a support system, because the show always isolates her and lets her go through hell. I just want these years to be some sort of healing for her. She also dates around a little in college but doesn’t get anywhere near a real relationship. She does date a few girls though. She gets hired by the FBI, but she does not fit in, always fighting against the rules. She does meet her girlfriend while they are working on a mission together and they start seriously dating. Betty thinks this will finally let her move on.

Jughead: I find it hard to imagine Jughead out of Riverdale. I think he loves Riverdale and doesn’t want to let it go. Especially now that his dad is doing better and his sister is back and they live in this beautiful house. He finally has the family he always wanted and he doesn’t want to leave that behind. We know Jughead to be loyal and a total idealist (even if he does not want to admit that). He does college from home and works at Pop’s where he meets Tabitha and they strike up a friendship. Jughead does not date anyone. In the beginning, he thinks that he still needs to work through his breakup, but eventually he realises that he just doesn’t feel the need to date or have any kind of sexual relationships.

Veronica: After finding out about the betrayel of her boyfriend and best friend, she leaves for New York. She doesn’t even attend the graduation. She is so heartbroken that she doesn’t want to have anything to do with these people. My hope for her is that she will thrive. She opens some of the most succesfull businesses in New York and gets celebrity status. She also gets to cut ties with Hiram.

Archie: I’m going to admit that I don’t tend to think about Archie that much. I do like this idea of him being single and being happy about it. He tries dating a whole bunch, but he is never happy with any of his relationships. Then when he decides to stay single for a while he really starts to figure himself out and deal with everything that he has gone through. He stays in Riverdale and completely throws himself into firefighting.

Bughead: Betty and Jughead don’t break up over the kiss. At least not immediately. Betty tells him and they work through it. However when graduation comes and Betty wants to leave Riverdale that is when they break up. When Betty gets called back to Riverdale to investigate the Mothman murders, she really doesn’t want to. Because it is the town of her past and because she knows that Jughead is there. The moment they see each other they both know that they are still in love, but they’re stubborn. Betty reluctantly asks Jug to join her investigation because she has been hitting a wall. I wouldn’t let them get back together immediately. There will be a lot of investigating and pining. Small touches, cramped spaces and so much eye fucking. When they finally have a break through, Betty shoves Jughead against a wall.

Beronica: The other pairing that I’m most invested in. I want them to be amazing friends. I have this headcanon that they are each others person. But it has to be earned. Through therapy Betty realises that she feels most guilty about Veronica, because they never got to talk after the truth came out. So Betty calls Veronica again and again till she finally picks up. There is shouting and crying and apologizing. Eventually Veronica flies across the country and they have a sleepover where they make up. In the end, they are closer than ever.

This is getting long so for the others I will be quicker.

Choni: They break up during college. Toni realises that she needs to spend time alone and this really breaks Cheryl, but also ultimately lets her grow.

Varchie: Obviously breaks up and doesn’t get back together. When they eventually meet again, they realise they have nothing in common. They make up, but won’t ever be close again.

Cheronica: They eventually get together. This is a couple I always wanted to be together. They will be an absolute power couple (after Cheryl has worked on herself)

Toni: I want Toni to be the queen of Riverdale and the serpents. The serpents will be an actual gang and they rule the southside. She is succesful and happy and single. Just enjoying her life.

Forgot to upload.

English:So years ago I started and pretty much canceled/put it in a long hiatus, nuzlocke comics.I am not in the mood to work on PMD stuff, so I'll just switch around the nuzlocke saga with the pmd saga, depending on my mood.Anyway I hunted the starters a few years ago, I haven't really been actively doing the nuzlockes.I did decide on it being shiny nuzlockes now about uff 2 years ago now?Well anyway new rule set for the shiny nuzlocke.

1.Only 1 shiny per route, 

2 shinies max-> only via gift in one town each.    1.1 Regular pokemon can't be caught or used. (Exception for hm slave if the need arises)    

1.2 all possible shiny hunting methods within the game are allowed    1.3 Method and encounters must be written down/counted 2.If a Pokemon faints it dies.  

 2.1 Very specific exception: One freebie only during a shiny hunt, if it is before the first gym badge and not the shiny encounter itself. (Basically it doesn't count for one time. My nuzlocke my rules ey? And it is specific enough to not ruin it all.)    2.2 Box all dead pokemon    

2.3 if poisoned 1hp also equals death

3. All Pokemon must be nicknamed

4. The use of revivers and X-items is forbidden. Those will be sold upon attaining them.

5. You are not allowed to purchase healing items, all healing items are gifted or found.

6. Trade evolutions are allowed. Trading with NPCs is not. (Considering I'd never trade a shiny anyway)

(7. Dubes are allowed. Also if a second shiny appears on the same route it is boxed. Unlike 1 those are not gift hunts )

8. No one-shot kill moves, self harming moves(like recoil moves like take down) or suicide moves allowed. Metronome for example would not be allowed. (exception for struggle)

9. Team swipes are allowed. If the entired team is swiped out, all of them die. Run continues with shinies that have been waiting in box one. (Restarting shiny nuzlockes is apain, so team swipes don't equal game over here, unless I really only had my team and nothing in the box) -For platinum I might not allow status moves, but I am still debating it. So why is it all taking so long? Eh no motivation etc. working a bit on it more. Anyway, switching between pmd and nuzlockes is nice.Soul Silver Nuzlocke will take ages anyway. Togepi hunt without slugma(no regular pokemon can be used) and a bike is hideous. It takes about 5 min for each egg to hatch or more I don't know. And with these odds even with my luck it takes forever, I barely hunt it because it sucks to hunt it.Though I really want Togepi on the team. If I have to restart the nuzlocke because of a fail, certainly won't hunt it again.Platinum? Haven't hunted the starter really.Omega ruby? Getting the shiny female ralts was pretty awesome. Not my initial target, but ey I ain't complaining. I panicked a lot while training it, that thing is useful, it dying not so much. If any Nuzlocke gets done, it is the Omega Ruby one. The odds are the best and no stupid egg hunts. Not doing level caps with these, but normally I don't overlevel anyway.Nuzlocke concepts are being overworked and adjusted, but before writing anything, I have to have a succesfull playthrough anyway. Well hopefully I can finish a playthrough at some point haha. Though I'll probably just draw a couple of the shinies I obtain. Edit: Alright I don't have the patients to spent an entire year on a togepi hunt. I am skipping togepi and just trade it for a primo egg or similar, depending if I actually need anything. But yeah, no togepi for this run. I'll continue my playthrough and just focus on Random Encounters. Egg hunts, are not fun.

I don’t think it’s Daniel’s ego being hurt because he isn’t the “top driver” there. The guy has moved from Renault to McLaren, a new team, a new car. Lando has been there for quite a while and doesn’t need time to adapt anymore. Daniel just needs to get used to it. You cannot tell me that lando is the more talented driver of the two. Let’s not forget that Daniel scored two(!!) podiums in a Renault. That was basically a can of soda on 4 wheels. He has what it takes to succeed with McLaren, it’ll just take time. I think he’s rather upset with his own performance than upset that he’s being undermined by Lando. Also it’s only race 3, lando being 3rd in the WDC means nothing yet.

yup, like i said before we’re jumping into conclusions way too early, it’s not even mid season and we’re expecting daniel being on the podium already but that wasn’t the main point of all of this haha. but well, ppl has their own opinions and they’re just sharing them with me, i just want the best for mclaren, mostly for dan after those years at redbull literally going through hell, and also for lando being succesfull 🧡

[dailykatrina]

PART I

The primary purpose of this blog was to publish the picture of my friend Elīna wearing a red beret. First time we interacted was at our coursmates movie night at his place far away in 2010. We didn’t like each other first. I don’t remember how exactly we became friends (as I don’t remember what was the movie we watched that night. Was it a film by Coen brothers? Or something from Clint Eastwood?). Nevertheless, something more important became evident soon after - we were about to embark on a journey of imagination together and enhance the everyday in such ways that no object would be left as ordinary. 

PART II

This blog became abandoned. It is true. I moved to France in 2016 and it took me about 3 years to fully settle. I’ve traveled a lot during this time as well. There was a lot happening and a lot of effort was put into learning new language, taking care of seemingly never-ending bureaucratic procedures and money earning activities. I didn’t post much during that time and there’s another reason for that. I’ve got a 35mm vintage Canon camera and it didn’t feel right to mix those well framed shots with random everydayness from my phone camera on the same platform. 

I’ve posted some photo series on flickr. There’s only two (or three) that I personally find succesfull and feel the importance of. 

PART III

I went to a film and photo developement workshop as a present for my 29th birthday. It’s been a dream coming true. I knew that I want to experiment with developement and to be more in charge of how sensitive my photography is. However, I continued to develop at an external film lab. My Paris apartment was too small to welcome a darkroom.

PART IV

I got my first real* camera when I was 16 or 17. It was a digital Canon EOS 400. I can still summon the feelings of pride about the marketing speech I gave to my father (in order for him to sponsor this lavish desire). I loved taking black and white and low iso pictures with that camera and a few years later I even expanded my lens collection. However, I loved shooting with the basic 18-55mm lens the most. As much as I almost always shoot on Program with my vintage Canon still today. 

I had a blog on Blogspot. It was called '1000 airplanes on the roof'. That blog was important. I erased it. I even erased the archive of the images I had on my computer from that time. But it was important and there are images I can still recall in my memory that don’t exist in any other realm anymore. JV was following that blog. He asked me to have one of the pictures in full size and I shared it with him. It’s the only picture left from that blog that has a materiality today. 

*I had a point and shoot sony pocket camera before, but my mother lost it a year after I got it. 

PART V

I’ve started using instagram when I moved to France as a way to communicate with my friends. A place for everyday randomness and stunning French landscapes. I love taking pictures with my phone. I am not a farmer of a photography who willfully cultivates and constructs his images. I am a hunter. Or rather, outside of these binaries, I'm just perceptive and sensitive towards objects/elements existing outside of me and them falling into certain ‘images’ that pierce me. I feel like things are cinematographic. And I love to archive things. You know by now that I can be manic and a compulsive eraser, having an inner fight between a desire to share and a desire to keep to myself. Not that there ever was an ambition - even after years of (intermittently occasional but ever-present) shooting, I still considered painting as my primary artistic interest. Painting would be the one I would give my time to. Not photography. 

PART VI 

I am not a painter today. I even developed a fear of a brush. It makes me feel anxious. My last painting teacher criticized my way of being too detail oriented (lack of confidence) and I was vulnerable to that. It made me cry. I am hoping to come back to it one day but for now I need more time for the expression to ripen. 

Things happened photography wise, things that I've already mentioned and some other things that I haven't. I got a Ricoh pocket camera (my digital Canon died of being unused a long time ago already). I realized that I lack literacy, awareness and vocabulary about my own pictorial expressions. I realized that most of my photography is not well served by the small digital format (thanks JV!). I realized that I don’t want my pictures (don’t mind about the phone pictures but not the 135 and MF) to be a scroll through in the middle of the instagram garbage and adds (thanks SF!). I realized that I want the images I capture to be tangible (Thanks to both JV and SF). 

PART VII

It took time to understand what kind of enlarger woud fit my needs best. I didn’t think I’ll get there on my own. But like with everything - persistence and diligence are likely to take you anywhere you want to get to. 

The everyday is important and I am still trying to capture it. Elīna is not here with me but our friendship is a shared book where we both keep writing our experiences. It might not have an immediate visuality. But we'll talk about it and make it alive once we're together. Life continues to be beautiful and ugly and final in both of these expressions as always. I snap this and that and post it here and there. The medium for that is inconstant. 

Sometimes I get into the habit of sharing 

and sometimes 

I get out of it. 

But this place, 

for now 

it’s a place 

of memories 

of an era.

Building Rikki Barnes in D&D 5e

I will confess something. lately D&D has been a kind of comfort hobby for me, in wake of all this fucking madness around us that is this year. This includes these builds but also my campaign that I just wrapped up and before I kick off with a sequel I felt like doing some celebration with blog-related content. So I decided - let’s build a character I planned to build on Pride Month but didn’t manage to. One funky, gun-toting, shield-wielding, dimension-hopping immortal lesbian.

As always, credit to Tulok the Barbarian from whom I lifted the teamplate for those builds and like him we will start with Goals for the build. First of all, we need to fight like someone who studied under not one, not two but dozens of Captain Americas across the worlds. Second, we need to have knowledge and skills like someone who lived all kinds of lives, picking up all she learned along the way. Finally, we need to be able to use both shield and a gun in accord.

For Ability Scores we will stick to Standard Points Array - 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8 - but if you want to roll, use points buy or other form of generating abilitty scores, go ahead and treat these as guidelines. Keep your Charisma and either Strength or Desterity at at least 13 for multiclassing purposes.

Strength: 15, say it after me RIKKI. IS. BUFF!

Dexterity: 14, your armor varied from short-shorts to what would pass for a leather armor and you have no problem jumping from one rooftop to another to catch-up with your Spider-Girlfriend.

Constitution: 12, you’re not as tough as Toro, but you can still take a hit.

Intelligence: 10, wish it was higher but we cannot have everything

Wisdom: 8,remember that time you didn’t recognize main universe counterpart of your brother is into you and didn’t recognize guy replacing Steve as Cap is your own grandfather?

Charisma: 13, say what you want but Rikki knows how to pick up girls.

Race: Rikki is a human, we will stick with Varian Human because we need a feat but Revenant Human could work as well if you want to go into technicalities about her ressurections. Variant Humans get +1 to two Abilitty Scores, boost up Strength and Dexterity, a bonus Skill, pick History and a feat. Pick a Soldier for a background since this is closest we get to “trained by most American American to ever American and reborn across the multiverse to do it again”. It gives you proficiency in Athletics and Intimidation, land vehicles if you want to borrow grandpa’s bike and a gaming set. Military Rank feature let’s you be recognzied as a fellow veteran by other soldiers who may be more letient to your requests. You lead two superhero teams so that adds up.

Shield Master will be our feat of chocie and we need to talk about it because it gives you not one but three fun features: 

It let’s you add a bonus from your Shield to your Armor Class to any saving throws against spells and other harmful effects as long as they target only you. The way it is written means you could technically cover your eyes with shield when someone tries to hypnotize you, which is very much how I imagine members of Captain America Family (Cap Family?) dealing with mind-control.

If you take an attack action on your turn, you can use your bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet from you with your shield. Shoving is normally an action that forces the target, say Bob Agent of Hydra, to make Athletics or Acrobatics check against your Athletics. If Bob fails (and he will because it’s Bob), he is either pushed 5 feet away from you or knocked prone. Maybe that will make him realize he needs a better job than fucking nazis.

It also let’s you use your reaction to cover with your shield if you are subjected to an effect that demands you make a saving throw to take half damage or full damage if you don’t, like for example FUCKING FIREBALL. With your shield up if you do make that saving throw you’ll take no damage. This is a bit weaker version of Evasion, a feature Rogues and Monks get at 7th level. Meaning that you will spend that many levels making them horribly jealous.

Speaking of Rogues, guess what we’re NOT picking for out Class. Instead we go with...

1st Level: Fighter! You gain proficiency with all Armors, shields, simple and martial weapons, Strength and Constitution saving throws, and two skills, I’d go with Acrobathics and Perception. You gain Second Wind, letting you recover as a bonus action 1d10+your fighter level of HP. Rikki is determined enough to chase the Maker across worlds and hit points can reflect will to fight. 

You also get fighting style - unarmed Fighting lets you deal 1d6+your Strength modifier on your Unarmed Attacks, 1d8 if you use both hands (or do a dropkick I pressume) and if you grapple a creature, you can deal 1d4 damage when you innitiate it succesfull and then on future hits while grappling.

2nd Level: Fighter gets Action Surge, letting you once per short or long rest take an extra action during your turn.

3rd Level: Fighter gets to chosoe a Martial Archetype: Battle Master gainst a proficiency with Artisan’s tool of your choice but moe importantly, gains Combat Superiority. You Gain 3 Maneuvers that are fueled by your Superiority Dice - which at this level are 4 d8s. When you use a Maneuver you spend Superiority Dice, you get them back after a short or long rest. If those effects ask for a saving throw, it must beat 8 Your Proficiency Bonus + either your Strength or Dexterity modifier.

Bait and Switch let’s you switch places with an ally within 5 feets of you without provoking Opportunitty Attacks and until the start of your next turn that ally adds result of your Superiority Dice roll to their Armor Class. Julie power can overextend herself easily, this will keep her safe.

Sweeping Attack let’s spend one Superiorirty die when you hit an opponnent in meele to try to also hit another one within 5 feet of it - if the original attack roll was high enough to beat its AC you deal it damage equal your roll on Superiority Dice. So when ypu kick Red Skull you can also carry your kick toreach Crossbones as well, breaking two jaws with your heel in one strike.

Brace let’s you spend your reaction to attack a target that moves within 5 feet of you and  add result to the damage if you hit. So if Sif tries to rush to help her father, you will deck her in the face without even having to look.

4th Level: Firghter gets an Abilitty Score Improvement or a Feat. We will pick Gunner from newest Unearthed Arcana for Feats. it let’s you add +1 to your Dexterity, gives you profficiency with firearms and let’s you ignore their loading quality, letting you shoot a gun for each of your attacks for a single turn and you don’t have disadvantage on an attack if you shoot a target within 5 feet of you..

Alternatives: Not every DM allows firearms in their setting. If that is the case the Crossbow Expert will do roughly the same for you. If you don’t like idea of Rikki with guns at all, then Crusher from the same Unearthed Arcana will let you push any target you hit with your fist and make attacks against them have an advantage for a turn whenever you crit on an attack. Martial Adept meanwhile can let you learn two more maneuvers and gain an extra Superiority Dice.

5th Level: Fighter can now attack twice on each turn attack action. Meaning You can in one turn roundhouse kicks Red Skull, use sweeping attack to carry that kick over to Crossbones, shoot Anirm Zola, knock Bob to the ground and use another Superiority Dice to deck Sin in the face if she comes to help her daddy on her turn. And that’s without using Action Surge and last Superiority Dice.

6th Level: Fighter gains another Abilitty Score Improvement. And you know what? Boost up your Strength.

7th Level: We have combat skills but what about other Skills? We can grab an extra one, like Stealth, by picking up a level of Bard. 1st Level Bards gain Bardic Inspiration, a set of 3 d6 dices you can give to your allies as a bonus action, letting them add it to an attack roll or a saving throw.

You also learn Bardic spells. You know a small number of those and spend spell slots to cast them. If your spell makes an attack roll, it does so with a bonus equal your Profficiency Bonus + Your Charisma modifier. Add to that bonus 8 and you get a number that has to be beaten if your spell reqires a saving throw.

You start knowing 2 Cantrips that you can always cast and 4 1st level Spells and have 2 1st level Spell Slots

Light is a flashlight you can use to make an object shine bright light in 30 feet and dim light in next 30 feet. Useful since you cannot see in the dark 

Message is a communicator, letting you send a short message to another creature and be able to receive equally short reply

Comprehend Languages let’s you understand any language you hear for 1 hour. Rikki lived many lives, she likely picked a few.

Heroism you can cast on yourself to show how brave you are or on an ally, cherring them up. until the spell ends the target has an advantage on saving throwsagainst being frightened and gains an extra temporary hit point at the start of each of your turns.

Identify let’s you use your vast knowledge of other worlds to recognize legendary or jsut enchanted effects or what spells are affecting a creature or an object. After all, you have seen it all.

Cure Wounds is a first aid kit, healing 1d8+1 hit points on you or another target

8th Level: 2nd Level Bards gain Jack of All Trades, letting you add half of your Proficiency modifier to all skills you are not profficient with. You also get Song of Rest, letting you let your commrades roll an extra 1d6 whenever tehy roll to regain hit points - as a soldier of many Battlefields makes sense you will be tending the wounds of your allies and rising their spirits between battles. You also get another spell known but we will exchange it for something else on next level.

9th Level: Bards of 3rd Level can pick bardic College. College of lore lets you gain 3 more Skills. Survival, Investigation and Insight feel msot in character. You also get Expertise, doubling your Proficiency Bonus, in two skills of your choice that you are profficient with, I’d go with Athletics to make sure you knock down all opponnents, and Stealth. Finally you learn cutting words - you can use your reaction and spend one of your Bardic Inspiration dices to say some bit of multiversal knowledge that distracts an enemy - you roll that dice and subtract the result from one attack roll or saving throw an enemy makes.

You also learn more spells, letting us to pick two 2nd level spells:

See Invisibility let’s you see invisible creatures and those on Etherial Plane like Ghosts or Phase Spiders. Play it as you being so experienced you learned to see such creatures coming.

Enchance Abilitty let’s you gain or grant someone else an advantage on all rolls related to choosen Abilitty. When you need an extra show of skill.

10th Level: 4th Level bards gain an Abilitty Score Improvement. Boost your Dexterity for more accurate guns and better AC. You also learn one more Spell and a new Cantrip:

Vicious Mockery forces a target to make a Wisdom saving throw or be dealt 2d4 psychic damage from your quip and have disadvantage on its next attack roll Knock let’s you open a single lock, be it on doors or containers.

11th Level: back to Fighter. 7th Level Battlemaster gains an addition Superiority Dice, Two more Maneuvers and can Know Your Enemy - if you study a creature for at least a minute you will learn if it is your superior, inferior or equal in any of the two:  Strength, Dexterity or Constitution score, Armor Class, Current hit points,Total class levels, if any or Fighter class levels, if any. Use it if you run into a black-clad silent Bat0themed girl from another dimension and btw Marvel, Dc I would pay gold for this fight to happen.

Our new Maneuvers will be:

Disarming Attack let’s you add a superiority dice roll to damage roll of your attack and force target to make a Strength saving throw or drop whatever they’re holding at the moment. Works with ranged attacks meaning you can shoot Cosmic Cube out of Red Skull’s hands.

Ambush let’s you spend a Superiority Dice to add the roll of it to a Stealth or Initiative roll

12th Level: 8th Level Fighter gains an Abilitty Score Improvement, get your Strength to 20 for better hits and better showing down the enemies.

13th Level: 9th Level Fighter gains Indomintable, letting you once per long rest reroll a failed saving throw. Including Death Saving Throws.

14th Level: 10th Levle Battlemaster improves their superiority dice to 1d10 and gains two more Maneuvers.

Riposte let’s you make an attack when a creature misses you with a meele attack you can use your reaction to make one attack against them and add roll of Superiority Dice to the damage.

Meanicing Attack let’s you spend a superiority dice to add it’s roll to damage dealt to a target and force them to make a Wisdom saving throw or be Frightened of you until end of your next turn.

15th Level; 11th Level Fighter can now make two extra attacks on each of attack actions. Meaning you can with Action Surge and your maneuvers shoot cosmic cube out of Red Skull’s hands, shoot Anirm Zola and Baron Zemo so hard the latter will not approach you out of fear, deliver roundhouse kick to Skull so hard you hit Crossbones too, knock down Bob and deck Sin in the jaw when she rushes to help her father.

16th Level: 12th Level Fighter gains an Ability Score Improvement, round up your Dexterity to 20 for better AC and more acurrate guns.

17th Level: 13th Level Fighter can use Indomintable twice per long rest. Meaning you are that much harder to kill and that more likely to survive fireballs from Onslaught.

18th Level: 14th Level Fighter gets another Abilitty Score Improvement. Boost up your Constitution for Better Concentration and mroe hit points (remember they add retroactively, giving you extra 18 HP at this level)

19th Level: 15th Level Battlemaster means two mroe maneuvers, one mroe Superiority Dice and now if you roll initiative on combat without any you regain one.

Rally lets you roll a Superiority Dice whenever you hit on an attack to give it’s result + your Charisma modifier as temporary hit points to another creature until end of your next turn.

Goading Attack also adds roll from Superiority Dice to damage dealt on attack and if Target fails a Wisdom saving throw, it has disadvantage on attacks against any other creature than you until end of your next turn. You know, i ncase Maker plans to blow you all up, make him punch you instead.

20th Level; We will finish with 16th Level of Fighter for one last Ability Score Improvement, investing either in Constitution for better hit points, or Charisma for better healing. Or picking a Tough feat to gain extra 40 hit points, which would be my preferred option.

Overview: My take on Rikki barnes is Battlemaster Fighter 16, College of Lore Bard 4. Let’s see how good this build is:

Pros: You can make a lot of attacks, making you excellent agaisnt crowds of mooks like Goblins or Hydra Agents. You have an answer for a lot of things an opponnent may do and several ways to control the battlefield to your advantage. You can also double as a skill-monkey, being skilled in enough things to make Rogue jealous. In fact, you basically are a discount Rogue, able to fill in for a lot of things Rogue would normally do. And you can heal too.If you have focused on your Constintution at the end you will also have pretty strong HP, maybe even up to 160-180 and with Shield Master or Indomintable it will be hard to hurt you as well.

Cons: Sadly, a lot of your abilitties compete for Bonus Action or Reaction, meaning you need to carefully consider what you will use each turn. You do nbot deal magic damage so a lot of late game enemeis will be resistant or immune to your hits un;ess DM gives you a magic gun. Finally, there is a big possibility you will burn out of your Superiority Dice early on, leaving you without many options later.

But you are still a valuable part of any team. Protect your allies, give them opennings to strike. Knock Bob down. Break Red Skull’s jaw. Just remember you need to rely on your teammates to survive - unless you want to be reborn in a different campaign.
