Facts about Rolan you might have missed, while you were busy saving the world

Spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3 below!

Here’s a collection of some Rolan facts you may have missed during your playthrough. (These are all from memory, so I will edit this later with sources and exact quotes.)

He is not related by blood to Cal and Lia - You can find this information by speaking with his corpse. All three of them consider each other family, but Rolan seems to hold some insecurities about his position with his siblings. In the same conversation, he mentions having “no one” when asked if he has family and that he identifies as “Rolan, just Rolan” - potentially implying that he’s been abandoned or rejected by his blood family, if they’re alive.

Cal considers Rolan an older brother - If Rolan dies during his rescue attempt in Act 2, Cal confesses that Rolan is his “older brother” and “the person he looks up to the most”.

Rolan loves organizing things - He has overhead dialogue with his siblings where he jokes about wanting an organized, color-coded sock drawer.

You can try to convince Rolan to leave his siblings behind at the grove - Try to convince him to leave Lia behind, and he will admit she’s a pain sometimes, but he could never leave her, not even for his prestigious apprenticeship.

Rolan’s diary changes depending on if his siblings live or die - Self-explanatory. He obviously becomes much more depressed and angry if you fail to save his siblings.

Rolan and his siblings have known each other since Cal was at least eight - They have overhead dialogue where Cal mentions that, when he was eight, Rolan once conjured a cat for him, only for him to find out it was made of fire.

It’s implied that Rolan, Cal, and Lia share a mother figure - If Lia dies, Cal has dialogue with Rolan about throwing a party in memorial for her, “like [they] did for mum”.

Rolan, Cal, and Lia have unique dialogue depending on which of them die - This is self-explanatory, but you can see most of the scenes here. He also appears to have unique dialogue coded in act 3 depending on if he’s angry with you or not (if you disrespected Cal and Lia’s memories by calling them Carl and Liam), but I haven’t been able to trigger it yet.

Lorroakan hates to admit it, but Rolan is more powerful than him - Speak with Lorroakan’s corpse after killing him and having Rolan side with you. He will begrudgingly admit that his apprentice is more powerful than him. Side note, it can be implied that Lorroakan never calls Rolan by his name, as he defaults to “tiefling” or “boy” in their few interactions.

If Rolan has a high enough initiative in the Lorroakan fight, he will use Thunderwave to shove Lorroakan off the tower. Peak revenge.

Some of Rolan’s spells have his name in front of them (Rolan’s Thunderwave, Rolan’s Mage Armor) - Some people have headcannoned this as meaning he had to learn magic by himself, therefore being a Sorcerer. Considering his clothes are a unique color combination for the Sorcerer robes, it raises more than a few questions

Rolan always carries Lorroakan’s letter on him - This one always makes me so sad, pointed out by @sadwizardlover. Throughout the game, the one thing Rolan always carries on his person is the written response from Lorroakan to his letter, posted below.

Lorroakan also beats Rolan up😭 He'll only admit this if Lorroakan's dead though

That’s all! If anyone has any more to add to this list, shoot me an ask✨💞

The Story that got me inspired:

Short Version from when i planed what i write

I have the feling that the short planig is better than what i wrote

[nebulaoftheprimes]

You stupid little fox

After watching 'Red One' for the third time, I've finally notice that Jack O'Malley, the normal, everyday human he is, had received no injuries despite being bashed, beaten, and tossed like a rag-doll. So my angsty brain was like 'nope, we can't have that now can we. This glitch is has an average Joe body, and now he's gonna hurt.' Also, I'm making a ship name, for those who've seen it, what do you think of DataBank for Callum Drift x Jack O'Malley?

After the Snowmen Incident Jack could feel, with every dull throb and spark of pain, that he had some bruised ribs. His best guess was that he had bruised them when one of the Snowmen had flung him back into a wooden support beam for the little restaurant/bar & grill place back in Aruba. Normally he would've said something, but after the withering stare Cal had given him for letting the guy get iced, he thought better of it and keep his mouth shut. Once they were in Germany, the colder weather help keep his mind off the pain. In fact, it had worked a little to well, because with his mind not occupied with the twang of his undoubtably black and blue back, he mind was free to think about his money problem and nick a gold coin from the open tressure chest.

And landed them in the dungeons of a demonic winter goat demon thing that was Santa's adopted brother who knew Cal.

Then they fought their way out of the creepy castle, his son got globed, then he did, then they talked about how much of a crappy father Jack had been, the Glass-Fig thing broke, they found Cal and Zoe (much to his ribs dismay), they fought the Witch's kids, and now they were fight the Witch after Krampus tried (and failed) to talk his ex out of her plan.

Jack's heart stopped at the sound of Cal's body hitting the sleigh.

'He's ok, he's not human, remember? He'll be fine, don't worry.' He thought as he dodged the clawed foot trying to kill him.

Only to be caught and smacked across the runway.

The moment the tail had made contact with his body, he felt something(s) break. As he flew through the air, he felt his chest bloom with pain. And when he landed, he definitely felt his arm break, little bits of glass punctured his poorly-protected chest, arms, and a little bit of his belly, as well as the ground when his head collided with it.

As he lay there and as the cold seeped into his body he knew, logically, that he need to get up. Need to prove him himself. Because that stupid, bald E.L.F somehow made him want to make Cal proud. Back in the dungeon, when Cal said he wasn't disappointed because he had no expectation of him, that had stung more then when he finally had pushed the remainder of his family away. More then the sad or glowering looks 'Liv gave him. So, to appease this stupid part of his brain, he needed to get up and be useful. But the second he tried to his body screamed at him and he collapsed back down on the snow.

Distantly he could hear someone yelling something, but it was hard to hear over the ringing in his ears and to see over the black spots to blocked his vision.

'I'll just lay here for a little,' he thought 'just for a little bit then I'll go help."

With the Witch delt with, and Nick awake, Cal could finally breath. But the feeling of relief was quickly snatch away when Krampus slowly approached them, before stopping and staring at Nick with his orange-ish yellow eyes. Nick stared back then slowly walked toward the goat demon.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in." Nick stated.

"Let's not get mushy." Krampus retorted.

"Thank you, brother." The man said, nodding his appreciation. Krampus shrugged his shoulders.

"Merry Christmas." He grumbled, looking away. "Brother."

"You maybe want to stick around a while?" Nick asked. Cal shook his head when Krampus glanced at him. The winter demi-god nodded as he said.

"Don't push it." Nicholas nodded along understandingly.

"Get to work." Krampus said teasingly, turning to leave, but he stopped. He slowly turned back around and sniffed the air. He pause and sniffed again. He glanced at Nick, looked him up and down, then turned to Callum and sniffed, before shaking his head. Nick stepped forward.

"What's wrong?" Krampus gave him a long look then said.

"I smell blood. Human blood." Cal froze at the words as Krampus continued, looking at the bodyguard then at something behind him.

"Say, what ever happened to the mortal you had with you earlier?" Cal whipped around and look behind the sleigh and the container. The moment he saw a black, unmoving object, he broke into a sprint, calling Jack's name.

When he got to Jack's prone frame, he could already see a small pool of red snow around the man. Another, closer look and he could see the way his right arm was bent. He turned to shout at Nick to help him get help, only to find his boss right in front of him and lord Krampus a few paces behind, looking vaguely intrigued. Cal swallowed. "He's hurt, we need to get him back inside, stat." Nick nodded and looked back at Krampus.

"It was nice seeing you again, brother." And clapped him on the shoulder. Krampus hesitantly put his clawed hand on Nick's shoulder and get it a light squeeze.

"Merry Christmas, little brother." He whispered and started to walked away as an small ambulance rolled up. Mrs. Claus stepped out and froze at the sight of Krampus but she blinked and swallowed.

"Nice to see you, Krampus." The goat demon nodded.

" Gertrude........ take care of my idiotic brother for me, would you?" She sent him a smile and a nod before turning and helping Cal load Jack onto a gurney as Krampus walked away to his sleigh and left. Jack let out a moan of pain as his half-lidded, hazy eyes twitched and his head lolled to the side.

"Jack, Jack, I need you to stay awake." Cal said, laying him down, and went still when Jack slowly turned his head back to look at Cal.

"C-Cal?" He whispered, his voice filled with pain.

"Yeah Jack, it's me, Cal. You need to stay awake right now, ok?" Jack feebly shook his head.

"It hurts, an' m'tired." The man slurred. Cal shushed him.

"I know, I know it hurts but you need to stay awake so we can figure out what's wrong. Do it for Dylan, Jack. Do it for me. Please." Jack shuddered as he was wheeled away.

"K'

5 hours later

After consoling a distraught Dylan, he and Cal (with Red's permission) watched as everyone hustled and bustled to catch up with the clock. One of the elves came up to them and handed both a cup of hot chocolate, with marshmallows and a candy cane in each, before heading off to go help. Soon Nick walked out of the hallway fully dress up, and strides towards the boy.

"He'll be alright, Dylan, he's in good hands." The raven haired boy swallowed.

"I-I know, but I've never seen him so pale before. I'm worried a-and a little scared." He admitted shyly. Cal nodded and squeezed his shoulder.

"It's ok to feel that way Dylan. It was a scary thing that happened, there's not shame in being scared." Nick nodded.

"You know, I was wondering if you would like to join me tonight." This caught Dylan's attention.

"Join you? Tonight? But aren't you busy? I-It's Christmas Eve, you're going to go deliver....... presents." Sooner the realization dawn on him.

" You want me to go rid with you, tonight!?" The winter spirit smiled.

"Over course, plus, I thought it would be a good way to help get you mind off you dad, if only for a little bit." Mrs. Claus came up behind him and gave her husband gloved-hand a squeeze.

"That sounds like a lovely idea, sweetheart."

"But what about my dad?" Nicholas gave him a sad look.

"Jack's in the medical wing as we speak, and they'll be diagnosing and treating him for the next few hours. We won't get anything from them until he's stable, but we don't know how long it will take. You don't have to come with but I thought you might enjoy it. Cal will be there too as well." Dylan bit his lip, and looked at Cal to Nick and his wife, then to the direction his father was wheeled away. Slowly he nodded his head.

"Y-Yeah, I'll go with."

To be continued...

Happy trailer drop day! Hope ya'll are having some fun clowning, theorizing, and freaking out in general. I am. Hope I can add to that fun with another NFL Buck snippet, though I'm not too sure. This is a kind of sad snippet, featuring Red. Enjoy? (All things NFL Buck)

Eddie is midway through a somewhat calm 24 hour shift when his phone vibrates with a call. Caller i.d. shows a picture of his previous captain Tommy Vega with her twin daughters smiling bright at the last Texan's game Eddie brought them too. He is slightly confused as to why she would be calling in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday, but Tommy is a good friend and Eddie is always happy to talk to her. "Hey Tom's this is a pleasant surprise." Eddie answers abandoning his UNO cards, and leaning back in his chair. Across the table, a slightly irritated Chim scowls, mouthing 'Tom's' towards Hen sitting at the head of the table, who just shrugs and sets her own cards down, officially putting the game on pause. "Oh thank god." Ravi groans under his breath, slumping down in his chair next to Eddie's. Poor probie has had to draw way too many cards and Chimney was an evil bastard who kept making him draw one too many cards. "Eddie." Tommy states, her voice apologetic and layered with grief. Immediately, Eddie gets to his feet, and stalks over to kitchen, ignoring his crew mates startled and concerned looks. The last time Tommy said his name in such a way, his friend and previous paramedic partner Tim had been killed by a freaking lava rock. So yea, Eddie knew this tone of voice from Tommy meant only bad news and he needed the space to hear it. "Tommy, what is it?" He asks glumly, bracing himself for the worst. The paramedic captain lets out a wet sigh, "Its Red, Eddie. The cancer's back and they're saying he has less than six months." His stomach drops to his feet. Not Red. Not the man that not only Buck looked up to, but Eddie as well. The man who gave him and Buck a safe haven to be a couple. The man who is practically a pseudo-godfather to Christopher. His red door and sign, one of the most prominent points of Eddie's and Buck's relationship is because of Red. His motto, 'Just walk in' has gotten them through the toughest times since meeting. And now they are going to lose him to something he thought he had beaten. Fuck the universe. Fuck cancer.

Liveblog - Dofus, livre 1 : Julith [PART 21]

I've already said how weird this whole situation is from Joris's pov, but imagine dying, being given a new body with a way smaller brain and no speech yet, as well as no object permanence, and having to comprehend while in this condition, that your brother, who spent the last 50–80 years trying to hunt you down and make you into a coat, just saved your son from being blown up, and is now dying.

But you lack the brain capacity to understand any of that. Or remember any of that history.

You just know that he's hurt, badly, and that you don't like seeing him in pain.

Joris knows now, that for an ecaflip demigod, it's not that big of a deal to die. At least not the first time.

So it's really more of a "You sacrificed yourself for me?" question.

He's paying back his debt. He can't be mean to Joris, when all he's done is be nice to him, he's not that kind of person.

And when he wakes up again, things will be different, between him and Kerubim. Something new is going to happen.

To quote Dofus Aux Tresors de Kerubim: It will have a different taste. A different feel.

Kerubim's current lack of object permanence or the idea of death, is both a blessing and a curse, because he has no fucking idea what happened, or where Atcham went. Poor kbitty.

On one hand, this is inherently traumatic for Joris. He must be tired of watching ecaflip demigods evaporate.

On the other hand, I can't help but feel that this is the moment Joris and Atcham truly begin to love one another. So I can't even feel sad about this moment, like a normal person.

Chat, this is what I cal coping and perhaps even seething. Joris is inclined to think Bakara is wrong because Bakara fucked up Majorly at this part of the movie. Also because Joris has not slept the entire night. Also because he watched 2 people die. Also Simone is far away. Also what IS Simone to do with a dofus-related issue?

Julith would absolutely have hurt Lilotte. There is absolutely not a single doubt in my mind, that if it got her what she wanted, she would dismember Lilotte as Joris watched.

I don't blame him for making mistakes and fumbling, though. He's like 10.

If she really isn't that bad... If ALL she wants to do, is to bring Jahash back... If that's what it takes for her to leave Lilotte and Kerubim alone...

And among all else, if this brings the man she loves back? He doesn't mind, then.

(Puts on a giant, Dofus Aux Tresors de Kerubim themed tinfoil hat)

Joris is a difficult character to read due to his insane multitudes and affinity for lying to everyone and himself.

Due to his passion for wanting to learn about his birth parents, I think spending time with Julith and Jahash is like a dream to him.

But I can't miss the dimension in this interaction that Julith is a scary dark mage called "the butcher", who already killed his father once and then kidnapped his friend, and they are both standing near her, behind him, and she is holding what is essentially the magical equivalent of a nuclear bomb in her hands.

And the things he says to her may or may not be affected by like, idk, two or three of these factors? Like there might be a slight possibility that he said "I'm sure she wouldn't have hurt you" and "a real family" specifically to decrease the chances of her killing Kerubim and Lilotte. Not sure where I get this idea from, though.

This is literally the worst day in Kerubim's life as a father. There is literally no going back. Thank god his little kittybrain is going to forget all about this in roughly 3 minutes.

*Slaps the table*

Calvin Fischoeder headcanons!

His full name is Calvin-Percival Robert Fischoeder Jr. when he was a kid some people called him Cal,Vinnie,or Perci.Or junior if it was by his parents or an elder family member(live laugh love Calvin with a double barrel name)

He's 64 years old(Felix I imagine is 59 or in his late 50s so he and Calvin aren't too far apart in age,I imagine them being a little under 4 years apart)

His father is a German immigrant(though he frequently traveled to Switzerland and Austria to live with family for some times before he moved to america.)He(as his the father) spoke german whilstt he still alive,he forced Calvin to learn.Calvin in his day to day life doesn't use German that much ,but when he wants to confused people,or when he gets angry or feels any other intense emotional,or just when he feels like it he speaks German.He's still fluent.

In Calvin's younger years before he went gray he was a ginger.He had a lighter shade though.Because of this He or Felix will joke about him having no soul(Grover also would've joked about it but Calvin and Felix would act like that's not funny around Grover and act like grover's insensitive just to mess with him)

He learned how to ice-skate to simply spite Felix.

When he was a kid he took ballet,tap,and piano.He was expected to do more than Felix since he's the eldest child.(Felix only took Ballet)

He has 7 younger siblings because just because(headcanons are fun)

His mother died when he was 16.Every year on her birthday he spends the whole day at her grave,and spends most of the day without his eyepatch on.He brings a cake and some flowers there,and pretends like he's speaking to her. On the day she died he also spends a lot of the day there,he doesn't spend as long there as her birthday since its more sad for him,he brings flowers and he also leaves a shot of her favorite spirit. He doesn't do any of his landlord duties or any of his jobs that day.

He definetly has an alchohol problem (this isn't really hc since this is really backed up in the show)

He was allowed to drink when he was a kid.(I think this is also implied in canon and it just seems really in character for him)

He's tried to grow facial hair several times but he cant ,its always been very pathetic facial hair.And at some point he just gave up.When Felix brings up that Calvin doesn't have any facial hair he says he just didn't want to grow any instead of the fact he cant grow facial hair

He started a fake religion in his late teens to associate with his father's businesses to try and get them registered as non profits so he and his father wouldn't need to pay taxes.(much like what the kids do in with aquatisicm.)

Throughout the majority of his childhood aside from the earlier years of his childhood he played baseball,he continued to play baseball until his mid to late 20s during in college years

He killed Baxter.

He had kids,he wasnt the best father nor was in very present in his daughters lives but he was there for the when they really needed them (he would've had his 2 daughters sometime after Shelby left him so I would imagine the latter years of his 20s or his early 30s.He would've had his kids with a partner he had at the time which I need to develop a bit more.)He also definitely played favorites with his kids like his dad did with him and felix.

Him and Felix eat dinner together every night.

He and Felix frequently has a movie night which alot of the time Felix ends up getting to pick it because Felix somehow always manages to win a game they play to decide who gets to picks(which Felix usually chooses to watch a musical,most of the time ,Rent.)

Game night with Calvin an Felix always ends up with one of them getting injured.(Inga is very annoyed with that)

He took part in raising Grover :3(he was not good at it)

His favorite color is actually red but the suit he usually wears belonged to his father

Calvin's favorite animals are squriells are pidgeons and he meant to get into pigeonry but just had never gotten around to it.his favorite pidgeons are Lahore pigeons.

He's a cat person

Silm Advent calendar 13: Children

Warnings: sight of blood, emotionally abusive father, not self harm, but may trigger the same triggers, happens in late Numenor. Also, sad.

“Cal—”

“Shush!” He turned rapidly to his friend, hands clenched. “Don’t call me that. If my father….” Despite the hot summer afternoon, he shivered.

“He’s not here. Come.” Elendil took his hand and led him through the narrow street into the market, now empty as everyone hid in their houses from the sun, and cooked, and washed, and— whatever happy people used to do. They probably read a lot too, like Elendil’s family used to.

The boys sat on the pavement, halfway between one of the orange trees and a stain of blood from a butcher’s stall that had been there in the morning. It was still red.

“I wish…” Pharazôn — he wouldn’t call himself Calion, he could not — shook his head. “I don’t know. I wish your father was my father too.”

Elendil smiled. “Oh, this would be wonderful. We could play together all day long. We could catch one of the days when a fisherman’s boat is left on the shore for repair and climb there and pretend that I’m Earendil and you— no, you should be Earendil! You have the right hair.”

“And courage! I mean, I’m older and all—”

“By one year.”

“But I am.”

Seagulls passed above them, screaming, and somewhere a baby cried in response. There were so many babies here, almost every family had more than one child. It was strange. And people smiled more, talked more, and, first of all, they were not afraid to talk about the stories of old and such. The tales that Amandil told to the boys were very different from what Pharazôn knew from home.

“Why is your father like that?” he blurted without much thought. This question had been boiling in him for long before.

“Like what?” Elendil looked at him puzzled. “He’s just… just a good man.”

Pharazôn looked at the pavement below. Ants emerged from a hole between the stones and went in various directions, busy, uncaring, happy.

“He’s more. He never listens to what people say, speaks Elvish without a hint of shame, never complains—”

“Just listen to him when I spell something wrong!”

“He never complains about the Powers and things like that.”

“Like death?”

“Hush!” He snapped away from the ants in shock. “Don’t—”

Elendil laughed and there was a spark of mischief in his eyes. “Don’t what? Don’t say words? Things are what they are no matter what we call them. And your father isn’t there. Neither is the King.”

“And if they were?”

This stopped the laughter immediately. “I don’t know.” A hint of smile soon returned on the boy’s face. Why was he always so happy?  “You tell me. You are the brave one, aren’t you? At least, the older one.”

“I am brave. I—” Pharazôn clenched his fists again. He did it too often, and his hands had painful places where the nails have repeatedly dug into, but they did not even bleed properly, so it was fine. “I will show him one day. I will show him that I am not afraid. That I am like the heroes of old. Like—” But the heroes all had loving fathers. Mostly dead, but loving.

Why couldn’t his father just die???

Elendil finished his sentence. “Like our ancestor Earendil. And Beren. And all the others. Túrin.”

Pharazôn stopped himself from again yelling at his friend for bringing bad luck. “Fortunately I don’t have a sister.”

“And there are no dragons in Elenna.”

The words again. But it was true, there was nothing interesting and dangerous on the island. Pharazôn looked at the quiet, white streets. Such a boring place. “There are dragons in Middle Earth. And monsters.” He stood up, feeling a sudden fire in his chest. “I will kill— No. I will capture a dragon and bring him here, for everyone to see how strong I am. And on its back I will fly far, far away. Like our ancestor Earendil. I will make everything right again, and bring peace to the land. We’ll be able to speak any language we want to.”

Elendil stood next to him, looking upset. Why was he upset now? Did he always have to counter what Pharazôn felt?

“My father says that the important wars aren’t won by swords,” he said quietly, putting his hand on Pharazôn’s arm. “Cal—”

“Yes, you need archers too. And I—”

“No, I mean they’re won by things like humility, patience, and, well, being a good man in general? He can explain it better than I.”

Pharazôn stiffened. Something rose in his chest, something that he should hide, but— He couldn’t force himself to go away, even though his eyes went hot. He closed them.

Elendil moved closer. “My father says it’s all right to cry.”

“The Edain do not cry.” He took a deep breath and the feeling diminished, but he didn’t move back and embraced his friend as firmly as he could. “But you can cry if you want, kid. You can do all that.”

And Pharazôn would be there, strong, to protect his friend from the dragons and everything. And he would not cry. Because if he broke once, if he let himself be weak, his father would— what would he even do? But it would be his defeat.

So he would not cry, and he would never turn back.

NFL Tiers

@cazluvsu and @chasedeys did one, so i wanted to do one (and didn't want to do the stuff i actually should do lol)

it gets longggg

omg it's my team!

BENGALS (!!!): what it sounds like. they're my pookies <3. the team i hyperventilate over and has already shaved a few years off my life. ja'marr chase, my fav, an icon. won the fucking triple crown, opoy idc idc! joe! my mf qb and i'll defend him with my life. teeeeeee! god it's gonna kill me if the fo manages to fumble him. and trey! the lone bright spot in our defense, ahh, he tried his best! chase brown! heal fast and hopefully we grab another rb to split the workload. yoshi! great year for him, hopefully he keeps on improving! mims <3 <3 <3 and orlando! bright spots for the o-line! i think karras also had a really good year (just need to work on our guards...) jordan battle... i'm really sorry, but i cannot forgot that dropped defensive td. it's funny in hindsight, but i think my watch sent me a few warnings over my heartbeat at that time. i really hope cam bounce back next year! he was on an upward trend at the final five-game win streak! there's more that i'm forgetting, but i should probably stop here lol.

i'm so very fond of you

Vikings: oh Justin, genuinely pains my heart that minnesota sports team seem to have a curse upon them. justin deserves a playoff win! also never will i ever shut up about jjmarr and their specific brand of insanity. i really enjoy tell us with metullus and their defensive cellies were 🔥. camryn bynum copying the australian break dancer was gold. special mentions: white chicks, camp rock, parent trap, and high school musical! i also love watching jordan addison! hopefully jj mccarthy works out for them Lions: i love so many people! ah amon-ra! i loved his upside down celebration so much. sonic and knuckles, the nickname is so cute, i can't get over it. i love love love the dynamic of both people being Very Good at their positions, but Choosing to stay together on the same team (cough cough jayson tatum and jaylen brown). helplessly fond of jamo lol. the touchdown celebration was deserving of a fine, but like. it was hilarious. also dj reader! oh and i'm insanely jealous that they like. randomly picked up jake bates from the xfl who is turning to be one of the best kickers in the nfl. i was really sad when aidan hutchinson got hurt. hopefully next year, they'll have better injury luck. Commanders: jayden, jayden, jayden! oh, rookie of the fucking century. he will come back next year, i believe deep in my heart! and the moment that terry realized they won the bucs game, ahhhh, that was sooo sweet. finally experienced some postseason success after Decades of Torture. also i'll never be able to think of frankie luvu without That Moment. Bills: 0-4 in sbs and 0-4 against the chiefs, ah, the Curse narrative pulls me in. also my brother's a bills fan. josh deserves a SB idc idc. love james cook (even if i think he should cut his hair, i've seen so many defenders try to take him down by pulling on it). kincaid, it was not on you and you! will! bounce! back! i also root heavily for keon coleman! yet another louisiana boy! and i will forever root for damar!

your storylines intrigue me...

Texans: ooh cj! if you've been following my tags, you know i'm completely obsessed with jayden/cj (and jayden/cj/bryce) and IE shit. he seems worse than the clips i saw of last year, but how much of that is on the o-line and the horrific wr injuries? i want to see him bounce back next year! and poor tank dell. prayers 🙏. i think stefon's a free agent? it'd be interesting if he stays or. not. i also love nico! hopefully next year all the wrs will stay healthy! great to see joe mix thriving! and derek stingley ahhh! i really hope we see him and ja'marr interacting in the pro bowl! Panthers: ooh bryce! that video of him turning around before the td was caught, like steph curry's look-away threes -i loved that so fucking much. also as said above, this trio of cali qbs has my hearttt. the Narrative that when cj loses, bryce wins... oh that. the angst potential. and omg, xavier legette. he did an interview with a european reporter who def had no clue what xavier was talking about. ah, his thick southern accent <3. i also saw a video where he skinned a squirrel to eat it (yes you read that right) and like. what. Jaguars: go BTJ! been obsessed with their head coach debacle, hopefully it works out for liam coen lol. also duval is objectively an awesome chant Giants: go Malik! i do hope they find a qb... Ravens: divisional rival but alas i do find their players intriguing 😔. lamar <3. so fucking good which is. unfortunate when we play them. but fun to watch against other teams. watching derrick henry run never gets old! he just never! ever! goes down! which also, fuck this division -four of the opoy candidates (lamar, derrick, joe, and ja'marr) are from the afc north. i'm getting pulled into marlon humphrey's twitter. if there was anyone who could give ja'marr a run for his money as 'chiefs greatest hater', it would be marlon. also kyle <3. also very funny. who else... ooh zay! best wishes for a speedy recovery! Cowboys: really CeeDee is too pretty for that franchise. i suppose i also like micah too (is this a safe space to admit that i like ceedee/micah?)

I have history with you

Packers: dad's a fan and rants about christian watson's drops. i made a birthday card with a packers helmet one year 🙂. i'm also a fan of Weight of the Franchise narratives, and honestly it has to be hard for Jordan Love, with the legacy of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers (both of whom I Hate for different reasons but were. objectively. good at football). and Josh Jacobs 😤. very unpopular opinion probably and i'm probably evil for this but jaire griddying in front of justin... sparked some thoughts in me ngl... Niners: mom's a fan and I like fred. also i feel soooo bad for them this year. like it wasn't just injuries and whatever tf that campbell thing was, but some players lost CHILDREN. a player got fucking shot. a year from hell fr. Falcons: in fifth grade we had to choose a football team for -actually i forgot why. learning more about different states i think, being like. 10. i wanted the dolphins, got the falcons instead. i remember watching the falcons-patriots superbowl and when the falcons choked, well 🙃. i have a weird relationship with the falcons bc of that. i do think their socmed team is funny as hell. also jessie! keep on balling! Patriots: the Venn diagram of celtics and patriots fan is practically a circle so I see a lot of grousing of the state of the patriots o-line. do i think drake maye is the Savior? no, the patriots are kinda shit. but for their sake, i pray he won't be the next mac jones. i'll admit that i'm impressed by christian gonzalez. also sometimes it's fun to cheer for a team that has no real expectations.

I don't mind you

Saints: their cap situation is hell, omfg (my worst trait is that i take a sadistic pleasure in teams doing worse than my team). not on the team anymore, but lattimore-evans 😮‍💨 (hate sex. i'm thinking of hate sex). i thought the 'no murder in nola' for the two weeks the saints were winning, was very funny. Jets: that garrett wilson catch was insanity. the davante-rodgers storyline Intrigues me in so many ways. going to a loser franchise just to reunite with your ex qb... other than that and being amused by their inability to make the playoffs, i don't really have strong feelings on them. oh sauce, i suppose. he's funny! had a bit of a down year, hopefully he bounces back! Raiders: just looked up and remembered the black friday debacle ughhhh. we'll see if tom brady can save this franchise. afc west needs to become more competitive! i almosttt forgot about brock bowers but holy fuck, what a rookie season from him Bucs: again lattimore-evans... just 😮‍💨. also good on mike for getting his 1000 yds again! Titans: brian callahan good luck selecting a qb from this bunch. i also do root for tyler and chido! Dolphins: not fond of them on the mere fact that they're from florida (fuck the h***) but i don't hate them. i am so looking forward to the drama of tyreek trying to force his way out. also, their streak of not being able to win a playoff game is very funny, just like the jets being unable to get into the playoffs. fail once, fail twice, keep on failing (again, i take sadistic pleasure in seeing other teams struggle). i'm also fond of waddle from that youtube series with ja'marr and najee. Chargers: not the biggest justin herbert fan (ducks behind a wall). i do root for kristian fulton! and ladd mcconkey! Rams: i love saying puka nacua! and i am. so jealous of their d-line omg. aaron donald retired and look at them, fuck i want that for my team. Colts: anthony richardson saying he was tired was kinda crazy ngl. that's literally the only thing i can remember about them. that and drew locks legacy win against them. Seahawks: continuously baffled that geno's cousin is actually jeremiah love. genetics man. oh also! i like charbonnet. no reason, i just perk up when the announcers say his name! Cardinals: no one ever mentions them and for good reason. just as dysfunctional as the titans, raiders, and saints, but no one cares about them enough to bash them for it. i find that funny ngl. they're like the kid who sits in the back of the class and does nothing!

I hope you get relegated

Steelers: ugh, bumblebees. something about the yellow and black triggers something in me. i blame it on the divisional rival bs. sheer annoyances i can't stand to watch them. can't believe we let russell wilson drop 44 on us. 44. i do like najee (again bc of youtube series). i want to study george pickens like a bug. Bears: it gives me joy when i see another team doing worse than mine, but why the bears you may ask? one of those corners said shit about jayson tatum being benched in the olympics and in the following weeks, their field goal got blocked by the packers, vikings won in OT, and the infamous thanksgiving debacle. who said karma doesn't exist 😇. i do wish the best for caleb (those assholes making fun of him for painting his nails 😡)... hopefully next year, he just stops holding the ball so long... Broncos: no excuse for this one. i just get annoyed by them. also jayden is roty, get outta here with bo nix (that was mean, bo nix had a good season, just jayden has a historically great season). also the broncos game was so damn stressful i hold a grudge just because of it. we may have won that game but i nearly collapsed to my knees in public. i do like ps2, i admit.

I hate your fans

Eagles: I'm fond of a fair bit of their players actually! Saquon SB MVP is veryyy compelling to me. smtg about saying🖕to your shitty organization and then showing them how they fumbled you by winning a damn SB... idk what Jalen Hurts ever did to deserve the amount of hate i've seen. like yeah, he's not that good, but he's not that bad. i thought it was very funny that AJ was reading in the middle of a game and I saw a clip about his suicidal thoughts that fucked me over. I was crying. I find it hilarious how cooper dejean is one of the only white cornerbacks like. ever. Like the Rams d-line, i am very jealous of their o-line. Really, the Eagles could've been put in the Intriguing group -however their fans suck. Was watching the Commanders-Eagles game beatdown and there were some Eagles fans and I stfg I have never been so annoyed in my life. They get their own category.

i'm a human with morals

fuck deshaun watson

there exists a special place in hell for you

as always fuck the chiefs

Your writing is soooo good! I've loved everything you've done .

Could I give a prompt of Zevlor X Tiefling Tav ( purple Tielfing )

That after she's rescued the tieflings from moonrise and discovered that Zevlor is missing. There heart breaks as they think they now have forever missed the chance to tell him there true feelings 💔

But they take that anger and sadness and fight kethric and when they find zevlor and maybe bring him with them to finish the fight ( I wish we could bring him with us in game )

Anyway they get back to camp and Tav ignores everyone and looks for zevlor and when they find him they hug him and there tail wraps around his.

(Thank you so much for the request!! I hope you like it 🧡)

Lost Chance? (Zevlor x Tiefling Tav)

You sneaked into the prison area of Moonlight Towers, looking for the tiefling refugees here.

When you heard what happened it was out of question for you to get them out of here, they were your kind after all and you grew fond of them, sharing the same burden of judgement the people held against tieflings.

You still didn't believe that Zevlor just betrayed them. There had to be more to it than just that and you had to talk to him about it.

When you found the prison cells you were happy to finally have found them. Lia stood at the front of the cell, telling you to talk to the gnomes in the other cell as they seemed to plan something.

And so you did. It wasn't easy to find a way to talk to them without the prison guards starting to be suspicious of you but you managed. Wulbren had asked for something to break through the walls of the cell and you threw an heavy weapon you had with you inside the cell, careful not to be caught in the act.

You were sure you had to fight the guards around anyway so you thought it would be a good option to use as a distraction of what the gnomes and tieflings did in the cells.

The gnomes had quickly destroyed the wall in their cell, revealing a tunnel to the tiefling's cell and to a small boat.

They waited before they left, obviously unsure where to go.

Scanning the group of them you didn't notice Zevlor being with them. Was he not here?

"Is Zevlor not with you?", you asked them.

"They brought him somewhere else, no idea what kind of plan they had for him.", Cal responded.

You were stunned and shocked. It couldn't be. Did they torture him? Or kill him right away? Your mind was wandering on all the worst scenarios and you couldn't stop feeling helpless.

He couldn't be dead. It just couldn't be.

It would mean you missed your chance to tell him how you felt for him.

You didn't know him for a long time, yet you couldn't help feeling warm whenever you talked to him, feeling comfortable yet nervous, feeling your heart beat faster when he just looked at you. There was no way you could deny your feelings for him and right in that moment you felt lost.

Zevlor wasn't here and knowing how cruel the Absolute was it wouldn't be a surprise to you if they had killed him. And realizing that was like a hit in the stomach.

You missed your chance.

Or that's what you believed when you were fighting Ketheric. Your anger and frustration obviously showing and it made the fight on the roof of Moonrise towers a short one, when Ketheric disappeared into the Mindflayer colony.

Following him you noticed the amount of tunnels formed inside of the colony and finding the way towards Ketheric would probably take a while.

Stumbling through the many tunnels and finding one dead end after the other you walked into a room with some of the pods you had been in as well a while ago. The first one of them showed a Mindflayer while the next one was empty.

When your eyes saw the third one you couldn't believe your eyes for a second. Zevlor was stuck in there.

He was alive.

Your hands found the mechanism opening the pods in no time and you didn't care about the Mindflayers you had to fight. You would fight hundreds of them if you had to.

The fight was a short one, Zevlor fighting with you and his blade easily cutting through the enemies.

Still in disbelieve you watched as his blade cut through the last enemy. He turned around to you, blood covering his face aside his tired expression and yet you couldn't find him any less attractive than the last time you had seen him.

"Thank you. I really thought it was over for me.", he said, his face showing relief.

You tried holding back any emotions trying to run through your body, after all you still had to fight and defeat Ketheric.

"I'm glad we have found you. I was worried when I didn't see you with the others.", you said.

"The others.. what happened to them?"

His voice was heavy with guilt and you were curious to hear his part of the story once you got out of here.

"I saved all I could. Some where in prison here but they are safe."

"I have no right worrying about them but I can't thank you enough for saving them once again."

"Would you join me in the next fight? I could use your help.", you asked him and hoped he won't refuse. You couldn't stand the thought of him being out of your sight again.

"I don't think this is a good idea, the Absolute made me turn against my people once already and I don't want to find my blade in your back.", he said, his face showing worry and defeat.

"I trust you. Please join us.", you said. Your eyes were locked with his as he tried to find a way to say no to you. He looked at you for a few seconds before a sigh left his lips.

"I will do my best to assist you.", he finally replied and you were happy to have him with you in the upcoming fight.

Knowing him by your side made you feel at ease and even more so when you defeated Ketheric.

It was a lot to take in, yet you pushed most of the information to the back of your mind, your priority was to have a chance to talk to Zevlor outside of the Mindflayer colony you were still in.

Your camp was set up inside of Moonrise towers today as you successfully defeated all the enemies inside of here.

Aylin and Isobel were the first to approach you, Jaheira tried a moment later, yet you turned them down and told them you would talk later.

You just wanted to find Zevlor right now.

He was standing outside of the door to Moonrise towers, looking into the distance while he was obviously deep in thought with his back facing you.

"Zevlor.", you called out his name and he turned around. Thats when you collided with his chest, the impact made him take a step back or he would have fallen, your arms around his waist and your face burried in his chest.

You stood there for a moment when you felt his arms slowly close around you, pressing you closer to his body and his head resting against yours.

Your tail searched for his, wrapping around it slowly and you felt him do the same. Tails wrapped around each other many times, twisted together like you never wanted to let go of him.

Thats when you couldn't hold your emotions back anymore. You quietly sobbed into his chest and he held you even closer.

"I thought I had lost you.", you sobbed, having a hard time forming words with the sobs shaking through your body.

His hands caressed your back, trying to calm your shaking form and offer some comfort.

"I am here. You saved me again and I can't thank you enough for it.", he whispered into your ear.

He held you like that for a while, chest moving with his steady breathing that camled you down while your sobs became less frequent.

You loosened the embrace, wiping your face and hiding your face from him.

"Sorry, I shouldn't be such a mess right now."

His hands found your cheeks and lifted your face to look at him.

"No need to apologize. You can cry on my shoulder anytime you need.", he said quietly.

Your eyes wandered over his face, blood still clinging to his skin and his eyes full of worry. His thumbs wiped over your cheeks to remove the tears, who were still wet on your skin and you relaxed into the simple caress of his fingers.

"I really thought I had lost my chance to tell you..", you whispered and he looked at you like he was waiting for you to continue talking. "I love you, Zevlor. I know we didn't have much time together and we don't know each other well but I can't help feeling-"

He cut you off with his lips on yours. Your eyes were wide for a moment, trying to realize what is happening before you closed them and relaxed into the kiss. Lips softly moving against each other, his hands still cupping your face, holding you gently while your tails were still wrapped around each other.

"I feel the same.", he whispered when you had parted for a moment, only to find you press your lips onto his again.

[smeraldo-heart]

Young Cal absolutely KILLS me.

He was with Master Tapal when the older spoke to Anakin, shortly after the latter became a Knight.

He is described as precocious 😭 because of how he rarely struggled, but he was also kind and generous. He couldn’t deal with failure and that was the whole reason why he was assigned to Master Tapal.

He froze when he saw a droideka out on the battlefield and his Master had to save him.

He was close with his clones, high-fived them and even had a rematch planned with one of them (which implied he regularly played games with them).

Master Tapal made him run drills of escaping through the maintenance shafts.

He trusted his Master until the end.

We need more fun so I’ve got little headcanons for him:

He didn’t like tea until Master Tapal got him drinking it. He more so enjoyed the comfort it brought and the memories of his Master than the actual experience but he still liked experimenting with the different flavours. His favourite is one of Master Tapal’s blends from Lasan.

This is precisely why he doesn’t like tea now. It reminds him of too much, but he’ll drink it for Greez if the other wants him to. The comfort the Latero brings reminds Cal of something he used to have.

He kept a collection of trinkets with good echoes around his room. One of them is the holocron he keeps near his bed.

His blanket was a lifeday gift from the battalion, handmade.

He was still scared of the dark even one year into his apprenticeship. A mission gone wrong where he was stranded on an unsafe ship and had to use the dark to hide in quickly cured him of this though.

He still had a soft toy to sleep with, even just before order 66. He often hid it in a secret compartment in his room because he felt like he should be over that attachment, but later future Cal still wishes he had it to bring him comfort.

He particularly liked adding beads and strings he found on missions to his braid, decorating it not only with accomplishments but also echoes from jobs well done.

He was incredibly flexible and also incredibly energetic. It was tough to get him to sit still, let alone not to race off and start climbing everything he saw. Master Tapal had to teach him not to run off very quickly into their apprenticeship, but he never quite cured him of the latter habit.

Another habit Cal was never cured of was his curiosity, leading him to sneak around exploring places a lot and touching echoes he really shouldn’t have.

He really didn’t like needles or medbays. He would never go near either on his apprenticeship, but this aversion was quickly cured on the uncaring planet Bracca.

He actually had to be told by Master Tapal to stop giving everything he owned as gifts to everyone on board since his quarters were becoming quite bare. Cal did so anyways because he liked giving gifts and making others happy.

He let the clones paint his face in the battalion’s colours once and refused to wash it off for hours.

He had to get a rabies shot one time because he insisted on helping an animal that ended up biting him. He doesn’t regret it for a second though.

He made a little scrapbook of all the clones, what their Force signatures looked like and their names so that he could remember who was who even with the helmets on. He knew exactly who shot at him and who died by his Master’s hands after order 66.

Idk man.. this guy. This tiny little guy. He makes me very sad.

Psst!! HEY! If you want more of this kind of mushy stuff about Padawan Cal, maybe you should check out my fanfic… it’s literally the escapades of Cal and his clones except with a little Diathim twist..

WARNING, SPOILERS FOR THE DRAGON PRINCE SEASON SEVEN

IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED IT ALL, I WOULD RECOMMENT NOT READING ON

tw: spoilers, my opinion

So, in general it was really awesome. i loved seeing our girl queen aanya, more jamaya, ruthari reunion, rayllum, etc.

however, i have quite a few more negative thoughts than i usually would with this show. so here:

-i really like that ezran got mad at runaan for murdering(?) king harrow. it felt real, and im glad we got to see ez's more aggressive side. i also like how callum got stuck between choosing his BROTHER or the LOVE OF HIS LIFE. what i didn't like is that callum really quickly decided to go with rayla. it doesnt make sense, thats his little brother who - in the very first season - he was willing to risk his life for so that ez didn't get murdered by assassins. it felt wrong and i think there should've been more of cal's inner conflict.

-the moonberry surprise scene? yeah, it was funny but also kinda js wtf. it felt like they were meming just for the sake of having more jokes, but idk maybe its js me

-aaravos. you guys dont understand how much i dislike this guy. i swear everyone in the fandom has a crush on him or smth, but i dont. he's a manipulator who targets vulnerable people. im so glad terry ran away from them. on that note tho, claudia didn't seem nearly as affected by his leaving as i thought she would be.

-on the topic of claudia, i really liked her dragon-form thingy. it's a really cool concept! however i think it shhould've gotten more attention the first time it happened, like we get a transformation sequence or something and the other characters getting really shocked and stuff

-now, i love my girl aanya, she's criminally underrated imo. however, i feel like her character was kind of awkwardly implemented into the season. like she was there just for ez, which isnt a problem, because i think they could be great friends. but when she shows him the gems... like, yeah, i think its awesome that she's trying to help ezran, but we only see that cave and absolutely nothing of the rest of duren which i think sucks and makes it feel kinda rushed. i've seen some people say that they think aanya has a crush on ez because she's always trying to get closer to him or wtvr but i disagree. i think she just really wants to be a good friend and she's also not super used to talking to kids her age. so, yk, it might seem like that, but imo shes just reaching out for someone who understands her struggles. im ngl i really hope they dont end up together in arc three because i'd like them both to be friends and have a sibling like relationship. but maybe js me idk

-janai and amaya were just absolutely amazing as always. i really liked how they had to return to lux aurea to stop aaravos. i feel like we shouldve seen some of janai's inner conflict w that tho bc she losf her sister there and now she's bringing her little brother there.

-speaking of karim. dont get me wrong, i hate him, but his death was so... bad. aaravos just got bored of him and smushed him? like... im not too mad bc i hate karim, but i js think that was a quick way to get rid of a character.

-again, i wish we got to see more of janai being upset because now she's lost both if her siblings, to the same person and in the same place. its deja vu and she's probably going to refuse to ever return to lux aurea.

-speaking of getting to lux aurea, i loved astrid little scene, asking everyone if they were aunt amaya. i love astrid sm and i love that she refused not help ray and cal. however, i feel like it would've been interesting to see her deal with consequences for taking off her blindfold. also, i think it would've been nice for astrid and kosmo to have had a really sweet goodbye-hugging moment before astrid left. also, more of kosmo's visions would be interesting.

-i think the part where we see that akiyu was killed. that was really sad and i liked that claudia was there to confront cal. also runaan being protective of callum was so sweet.

-zym. specifically, zym speaking. what the fuck. that was funny, but also super uncalled for. also, no hate bc i love dante, but i think a different voice actor wouldve been better. idk, i always thought that if zym spoke then he'd sound kinda more like walker scobell in the adam project. idk its kinda specific but yeah. also, i wish that zym had spoken during the actual fight during aaravos. like, maybe he goes "you're not gonna hurt anyone else as long as im around" then blasts lightning at him.

-speaking of that scene, im annoyed we didn't get to see the novablade in use, i think that would've been awesome.

-also did domina profundis die? bc i swear we never saw that happen. or maybe i just have bad memory lol.

-harrow and pip. what. what do you MEAN he's in the bird. that- what the shit??? he- what?? i was never a big fan of that theory... but. what. also it kinda felt like they added that just so there would be more cliffhangers but maybe thats just me.

thanks for reading my rant! let me know what you thought about all this!

-Evrkynd is so cool tho ngl. i mean how much building they did in a few months is kinda crazy but go them ig.

All in all, this season didn't really feel like how tdp normall feels. i wish it didn't feel so fast apced and i wish we got more in depths of characters. also, sm felt like it was there just for comedic value which felt kinda stupid tbh.

Time traveler Cal Kestis

Il love time travel (especially fix-it time travel, with a pinch of crack involved)

And I love angst-filled caracters being flung through time for more angst.

And Star Wars has the potential for time travel and other shit. And I've been reading Cal Kestis time travel fics so...

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Imagine post-Survivor Cal travelling on the Mantis with his rag-tag family, desperate to find a young adult Kata.

Kata, who's fallen to the dark side. Kata, who struggled with her memories, with her father's legacy and sins, with Cal's guilt. She understood why Cal had no choice and has forgiven him. He's her surrogate dad, he and Merrin did their best. But at the same time, he's the one who's killed her father. In her desperation and sadness she travels through the galaxy. She visits a lot of planets. She crosses Cal's path many times and he tries to guide her back to the light but he fails. Sometimes, she immerges herself in the darkness so much that she's barely able to see the light. Sometimes she serenely meditates in the light for hours. But she never reaches the answers she seeks.

She's touched by the dark, her emotions twisted, her feelings raw, but she's not lost. And Cal never gave up on her.

So she chooses to return to her family, to the ones that helped her to mourn and to heal, the ones that did their best to help her.

She waits for them near a temple on a planet where the force is strong. She knows when they comme planetside, her bond with Cal and Merrin muted but still strong. They come to her, silent but not judging and she welcomes them.

It takes some time for everyone but they manage to balance things. They repair what can be fixed and adapt to the changes. Cal and Kata meditate together to repel the darkness and to help Kata.

It's during one of these session that a ripple in the force occurs.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

They were exploring the ruins of a temple and found a wide room with running water that has a nice ring to it. The sat crosslegged in front of each others, knees touching and breath relaxing while they immerged themselves in the force. They let time slip through their fingers and their mind settle. Overall it's a nice meditation that leave them both content.

But when they wake up, they have a strange feeling, like the world tilted to the side and didn't right itself after.

They wander in the temple and find it changed : it's old but it looks less desolate. The force around them is lighter ; stronger and alive. It's even more weird outside : there's no Mantis or Merrin to greet them, only the wilderness.

They find their answer later, when they get ahold of a ship and start to travel to the places they know and find them changed.

They traveled through time while they were meditating.

The revelation send them reeling. (They already have lost so much, why did they have to suffer more ?) they don't handle it particularly well and Kata almost falls back to the sark side in her despair.

They choose to travel again in the wide galaxy, trying to help but sticking to the shadows. They fight dark users of the force and sabotage some Separatist bases to help the Republic, without disclosing their identities. That make them wanted by both sides but they don't care.

During those times, they end up finding a strange solar system. The various planets hold temples : some are jedi, some are sith and some are neutral in the force. With Cal psychometry, and his habit of exploring ruins, they discover a very ancient culture with a peculiar relation to the force and kyber.

The temples are connected and through the force and the ancient culture, it allows a force sensitive to connect with a kyber crystal.

Cal et Kata, who traveled and fought for a long time, are entranced by the possibilities. They see a way to heal and to help so they decide to try it.

They start they pilgrimmage, with the rituals and the meditation with the objective to balance themselves and to go back to the light. They bring with them the bleeding kyber of the dark users they defeated.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

They get spotted by a clone scout that report to the jedis (there is no activity near the temples that are abandonned, but those two shapes just entered a sith temple). The jedis send an explorer who spies on them and sees their strange ritual (meditation in the middle of a sith temple, music and danse while doing katas...).

After that report, the council chooses to send a party with a jedi master and a jedi knight to make contact with the duo.

They send Anakin and Obi-Wan, as they are near the solar system and are due some down-time from the front-line. Obi-Wan is curious about the report, Anakin is annoyed at the lack of challenge.

They meet with the clone scout and let themselves be guided to the position of the two figures. They follow and observe them from a safe distance, hiding as much as possible. They see them entering temples on the various planets of the solar system, indifferent to the influence in the force (jedi, sith or other). They watch with mild fascination as they dance and play music, around bled kybers that start to show signs of purification.

They see a young girl with golden eyes that seems at peace and feel lighter and lighter in the force and an older man with flamboyant hair that guides her when she relapses to the dark. They see her blood red saber that become lighter and lighter as time passes on.

Then they watch them enter a few temples, perform different dances and see the girl saber gain color again. It glows slowly, a light violet, then it gains strength and end up a beautiful indigo color. Her eyes return to brown, with a few specs of gold in them, and she stands proud, but humble.

Obi-Wan thinks that now that the girl is back from the dark side, they will abandon this pilgrimmage but he is mistaken. To their surprise, they don't. They keep traveling to purify the other kyber crystal they brought.

They keep observing them in the hope of seeing the ginger's saber (is he a sith ? or not ?) but it doesn't happen.

In the end, the kyber crystal are purified and the duo disappear in a blinding light. But the crystals remain and the force sings where they passed by. If a force sensitive is to go in those temples, they will feel the shadow of their dance and the song of their will.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

At last, during another meditation, Cal and Kata manage to go back to their time and to rejoin their family.

Kata is at peace again and Cal is more assured in his role.

my forever - calum hood. (kinda angst, kinda fluff)

a calum hood x reader

she/her pronouns, reader is michael’s sister.

he traced shapes into her back, his cold, coarse fingertips leaving goosebumps down her spine. something he’d always enjoyed, giving the girl goosebumps, seeing the little bumps appear reminded him what power he had over her.

“calum?” she whispered, so quiet that the kiwi boy wouldn’t have heard if it wasn’t for the near silence in his hotel room, the TV playing american psycho being the only other noise source.

he took a small breath, not knowing the topic of conversation before it started was something he always hated.

he liked interviews. interviews were planned, almost scripted, he knew the upcoming questions and he knew exactly how to answer them.

this wasn’t scripted. this was too real for him - life was often too real for him. “yeah baby?” he spoke back, his own tone just as hushed as the girls.

she hesitated, almost regretting striking up a conversation. “this hurts.” her quiet voice broke, calum shooting up to face her.

“what hurts, babe?” he questioned, placing a hand on her soft cheek, rubbing his thumb up and down. “tell me what hurts and i’ll fix it, okay?”

he’d never seen her so broken.

he knew she could be sensitive, micheal had warned him and his friends of that when they’d first met y/n. ‘be careful what you say, she gets hurt so easily.’

but calum had never truly believed such a thing, not once had he witnessed y/n cry, or even heard mention of her being upset from something he’d done. (poor oblivious calum, y/n was just very good at hiding it from him.)

“i don’t think you can fix it, cal.” she pouted, tears spilling from her eyes, her mascara beginning to run. “being.. this with you.. it really hurts”

he took back his hand, humming in silent agreement. he’d thought it for a while, he was almost hit with relief that she’d bring it up.

calum had always struggled at doing ‘casual’. he knew he needed to, especially now. if michael found out he was with the boy’s sister, he’d go crazy.

even then, it killed him. not holding her hand in public, not being able to kiss her whenever he wanted. not having the ability to really call her his.

“i just- i don’t want to be your maybe anymore.” she began playing with her shirt, the button suddenly becoming more interesting than calum’s eyes - though, to her, nothing ever really was. “it’s either we’re together or we’re friends. i’m not prepared to be neither, or both.”

calum remained quiet, unable to gather his words. he was rarely ever speechless, but times like this left him more than so. he was never good in sad situations.

“friends.. they aren’t what we are. they don’t love like us. if that’s what you want to be, be it. be my friend, but don’t keep hurting me like this.”

the maori boy smiled sadly, bringing a hand upward, tucking the girls hair behind her ear “i don’t want to be your friend, n/n.” he sighed, watching her face fall further, a thing he didnt quite think was possible. “i want to be your forever.”

a shocked look replaced the sadness, his words hitting her harder than ever, through sobs she brought his lips to hers, smile refusing to leave her face.

“i would love for you to be my forever, hood.”

(i wrote this at 2am don’t fault me if it sucks.)

For my The Wizard’s Beloved Bard story, I had two ideas for the ending, a happy and sad ending.

Because in the final battle against the brain, the city was damaged so there must have been some casualties right?

So the happy ending would be, Ella’s parents surviving the battle and using thire influence and wealth to help the people in the lower parts of the city. But they also throw a ball for the other nobles, and invite Rolan, Cal, and Lia so they could can meet this grumpy, handsome wizard their daughter has talked so much about. But don't just want to meet Rolan, they also want to show the public that Rolan has friends in high places. I won't be surprised if some people in Baldur’s Gate were opposed to Rolan becoming the master of Ramazith Tower. So Ella’s parent's meeting him at such a public event, shows that he has nobility backing him up and shows the other Nobles that if they mess with Rolan they’re messing with them as well. Also Ella tried to teach Rolan how to ballroom dance would be so fun!

Then for the sad ending, after the battle, Ella bursts into Ramazith in tears and runs right into Rolan’s arms. He asks her what happened and she tells him how her parents were killed while trying to get people to safety and one of her Aunts forged her parents will, trying to make it so she inherits the family wealth instead of Ella. She also isn't letting Ella anywhere near her parent's home or funeral because “hellspawn should never have been associated with this family to begin with!” This makes Rolan and everyone furious! So Rolan, Cal Lia, and all of Ella’s companions get into contact with one of her cousins, who Cal and Lia met when her parents were sheltering them. He helped them expose the aunt and get the will sorted. The Aunt loses everything, and Ella inherits everything and gets to honor her parents at the funeral. But she also gives control of the family wealth to her cousin who helped her, and who she trusts like a brother, so she can spend more time with Rolan at the tower and continue as a traveling Bard. But first, she spends a lot of time mourning her parents and Rolan is there to comfort her.
