When They Get Jealous
Summary: What happens when they someone flirting with you and they get jealous? Characters: Luther Hargreeves, Diego Hargreeves & Lila Pitts, Allison Hargreeves, Klaus Hargreeves, Five Hargreeves, Ben Hargreeves, Viktor Hargreeves, Marcus Hargreeves, Sparrow! Ben Hargreeves, Fei Hargreeves, Sloane Hargreeves, Jayme Hargreeves Tw: Violence, Emotional Manipulation, Su!c!dal indications
Tumblr media
Luther Hargreeves
Kind of insecure
He's also angry and crushes whatever he's holding in his hands
He's surprised when looking down at the crushed item
Then he becomes annoyed
He'll go to the bathroom to clean up and you'll quickly follow him
"Are you okay?"
He's surprised by your presence and the fact that you followed him
He'll then feel bad about his feelings before
You would never hurt him and he knows that, so why would he even feel that way? You've never done anything to justify that feeling
"Um... Nothing, I accidently- uh, crushed this thing- You know... Strength issues..."
You'll help him clean up/patch up and it makes Luther guilty and he momentarily forgets about the previous feeling... At least until next time
Tumblr media
Deigo Hargreeves & Lila Pitts
What a duo
Lila definitely filled Diego's head with delusions and will convince him to do something stupid [Like kill the person flirting w/ you] while she hides the body
Lila takes it better, but inside she's more pissed than Diego
Diego is mad at you and won't talk to you. You'll have to profusely apologize and prove to him you care, otherwise he won't speak to you. Trust, he can hold a grudge
Lila, on the other hand, is very extroverted and will go over to where you are and talk to the person who was flirting with you
There's is definitely tension in the air, even though it doesn't show on her face
She's all smiles and happy, but it doesn't show in her eyes
Deigo is mad, but Lila sees it as an opportunity to manipulate you [She also wants a reason to kill somone]
You try and talk back and she'll bring up how sad it makes them when people flirt with you and she'll emotionally manipulate into feeling bad
You didn't like the person but... maybe she's right? I mean- you didn't exactly tell the person no or that you were taken, but you had asked them to stop.... Was that enough?
Tumblr media
Allison Hargreeves
Oh, no no no nononononono
She is NOT letting that happen
The person who's flirting with you must have a death wish
She doesn't want to use her powers, but...
Well, she really has to fight the urge
She looks very sweet and kind, so she can just come into the conversation and play nice girl
She'll drag you off, talking about needing your help or something, while apologizing for taking you away [But she doesn't really mean it]
You won't even notice she's mad until you're alone
She'll accuse you of cheating or trying to leave her
You're taken by surprise, but don't even try and fight her, because she's in a very low/depressive state, so she'd be easy to push into doing something drastic
So, you'll have to wait until she feels better to confront her
Tumblr media
Klaus Hargreeves
They already assume you don't love them, so this just fills this delusion they have
It really bums them out and they get super depressed
They get extra clingy whenever they get you alone
They're usually pretty clingy, so you don't think about it to much
Until, they start whining about the guy at the bar
They'll ask you if you like them [Flirter] more than them [Klaus]
You'll tell them no, but they don't believe you
They'll emotion manipulate you saying that you probably hate them and if you ever leave them, they'll kill themselves
Tumblr media
Five Hargreeves
Someone flirting with you? Do they have a death wish??
Not afraid to kill a man or women. He doesn't care
The only issue is he'd never admit his jealousy. You have to confront him and at first he'll deny it, but if you keep pushing he'll get pissed and yell 'You know what- I am jealous! So what!?!'
You're surprised he admitted it, but that's the only time you're getting it
He'll deny saying it and gaslight you into thinking it never happened
He will kill them, he just needs a little time, which he has plenty of
It is bloody, gory and gruesome
No one will find the body, but he'll make sure you know the person is dead and it's all your fault
He'll make sure you never do it again because he hates this feeling and it bothers the hell out of him
Tumblr media
Ben Hargreeves
He wasn't really having fun at the party, so when seeing someone hit on you, it just made his night worse
He's scared you'll realize that he's not good enough
He hates the icky feeling in his stomach and it only continues to grow
Though it does make the feeling subside when seeing you roll your eyes and push the person out of the way before heading towards him
It makes him giddy and smile; Like a school boy
The fact that you'd chose him over everyone else really fuels his obsession, so be warned
When you get to him, you complain about the person
"Did you see them?"
He'll pretend that he wasn't paying attention and you gasp, before sitting down and ranting about how stupid that person was
He practically has hearts in his eyes and he looks at you like you're the only person in the world, which to him you are
Tumblr media
Viktor Hargreeves
He's annoyed, but he's not going to do anything drastic [Or at least he tries]
He wants to do something, but he doesn't really know what to do, because he's never had like a good relationship
He watches sadden from afar before wallowing in his own self pity
Though, after everything that has happened, he is a little bit more confident it just takes some working up before he can go over to you
He'll debate about it for a few though. Like he'll sit up, but quickly sit back down and do it over again until he finally gathers the courage to approach you
He'll finally approach you, thinking of what he's going to do as he approaches you, but when he finally approaches you he's still lost on what to do
He'll just act and kiss you infront of the person, which takes the flirter by surprise
The flirter will apologize and end up leaving you alone
You're surprised by Viktor's brazen behavior, but it's also kind of a turn on and he'll kiss you again before you can comment on it
Tumblr media
Marcus Hargreeves
He doesn't get 'jealous'
That word isn't even in his dictionary
Well, that was until he saw a guy flirting with you
What is this feeling???
It's an icky feeling that he doesn't like it
He'll put an end to it quickly [Both the flirting and the feeling]
You're kind of taken aback when Marcus comes up to you and pulls you away from the conversation
He would have folded his way into the conversation, but he would have been passive aggressive
You try and ask him what's wrong, but he's quick to deflect the conversation
He'll push the feeling deep down and it'll come up when you both get into a fight
Tumblr media
Sparrow! Ben Hargreeves
He's furious
If he wasn't busy nursing his drink, he probably would have knocked the guy out. Thankfully he's drunk and not sober
Though he can't help the thoughts in his mind... Violent thoughts
The thoughts will become a lot and he has to leave
He's mad at the person, but then he starts thinking and he suddenly becomes mad at you
How come you didn't tell them to back off????
He becomes slightly insecure but he fights that feeling and it becomes overcome with anger
He'll end up leaving without you, because he needs time to be alone and think
Though, this just makes his feelings worse. While he's drunk he's sad and depressed, but when he becomes sober, his emotions quickly turn to anger and he wants to confront you
So, when he sees you again he's anger has already been bubbling up and he blows up
You're taken aback and kind of scared because he's so mad and he's yelling and you can't even decipher what he's talking about
He needs some time to cool off, but he can't be alone, because his feelings will cool off
You'll go to another room while he cools off, so that he knows you're still around, but you're not alone together
He will eventually calm down and apologize for his behavior, but not with words, but like subtle actions, gifts, and such
Tumblr media
Fei Hargreeves
You don't even know she's jealous, because she hides it so well
She's kind of scary looking, so no-one has approached her
She takes her jealousy pretty well and doesn't let it bother her
It just kind of rolls off her back
She's confident and knows who she is and what she wants, so she's not threatened by some nobody trying to hit on you
Though, if she sees you getting uncomfortable, she will step in
Thanks to her looks, they back off rather quickly
It's rather silly to her and she finds the whole thing stupid
She takes it the best and doesn't let it bother her
10/10 best girlfriend <3
Tumblr media
Sloane Hargreeves
She's a sweet girl and doesn't deserve to be sad
She's a hopeless romantic, so when she sees people flirting and being cute, she instantly is like 'Awww' until she realizes it's you
Then she's mad and her mind races with multiple different scenario
What if you leave her?
Oh god, what if you don't love her anymore?
What if you click with them so well that you think they're you're soul mate and you leave he-
She shakes her head, before standing up
She fixes her hair, before putting on her brightest smile and approaching you
She's very beautiful, so they person who was hitting on you will turn and flirt with her too
She'll become annoyed, because they were just hitting on you and now they're hitting on her? Were you not good enough for them???
Who did they think they were?
Instead of being mad that they were flirting with you, she's mad they STOPPED flirting with you to flirt with her
You're incredible, so she's confused why they don't realize that
She calls them on it and you're really flattered, but you have to drag her away, so she doesn't get to carried away
Tumblr media
Jayme Hargreeves
It's more of an annoyance
She doesn't think about it to much
She's probably the only one who WILL come up to you and interrupt your conversation in a rude way
If the flirter is rude to her she'll use her powers and pull you away from them
It all happens so fast, you don't even process it until you're back at the house
"What the hell was that???"
She doesn't even turn to you, but you do here her make a sound of confusion
Your brows frown, and you groan, "Why did you use your powers on that person"
"Why were you flirting with them?" Still she hasn't turned towards you
"I wasn't flirting with them!"
She keeps her cool, making brash accusations, which causes you to get angry and by the end of it she makes it seem like YOU are the crazy one

Hiiii since it’s my birthday really soon, can I get Hu Tao, Yae Miko, Chiori, UMP45 and Makoto from P5 celebrating readers birthday?? Maybe a surprise party?!?!?!?!
(Genshin Impact/GFL/P5) Hu Tao, Yae Miko, Chiori, UMP45, and Makoto celebrating Reader's birthday
Oh god, I hope I'm still on time for this.
Tumblr media
(Hu Tao) "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Hu Tao pops out of absolutely nowhere and scares the hell out of (Y/N), but she is beaming with energy.
Despite the fact the clock had just struck midnight, and S/O was in their own room.
(Hu Tao) "Soooo, what do you plan on doing? Got any cake for today?"
(Y/N) "Hu Tao, I'm trying to sleep. We can talk about this in the morning...Actually, how did you even get in my house?!"
(Hu Tao) "Details we can discuss after your birthday plans! Now, what do you want for today? I can try my best to get you a good sale!"
(Y/N) "Well, it's not a coffin or ghost, I'll tell you that much..."
(Hu Tao) "Wow, buzzkill! I guess I won't treat you to Xiangling's today after all!"
Hu Tao is definitely the type to throw a surprise party, though it's not much of a surprise since she appeared in their bedroom.
Later when it's actually a humane time of day, she invites them over to her home to celebrate properly!
She still wishes they could've had the celebration late at night though, Hu Tao had a lot of jokes planned...
Tumblr media
Normally, Yae is supposed to do a formal recital of wishing a pleasant birthday.
But to hell with that, that was boring.
Yae decides to wish (Y/N) a happy birthday in her own way.
(Yae) "(Y/N), I expect to have a good meal today."
(Y/N) "Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?"
(Yae) "Perhaps, but surely you don't plan on going anywhere mundane to eat for such a very special occasion, right?"
(Y/N) "N-Not if it's going to bankrupt all of my Mora!"
(Yae) "Oh come now, I do not eat that much."
(Y/N) "Wait, why am I paying for you on my birthday?!"
(Yae) "Well, thank you for offering! You're such a kind soul!"
(Y/N) sigh
She doesn't really host a party for (Y/N), at least not by herself. But at the very least, she'll make it a damn entertaining day, for better and worse.
Tumblr media
Oh, (Y/N)'s birthday. Neat, Chiori supposed.
(Chiori) "Yes yes, happy birthday and all that."
(Y/N) "Hah, calm down there Chiori, you're getting a bit too excited."
(Chiori) "I hope you don't expect me to have cake and balloons ready to spring out at you."
(Y/N) "Frankly, I'd be more shocked if you did."
(Chiori) "At least you understand that part."
Bluntness aside, Chiori handcrafts (Y/N) a nice present before their very eyes.
A handmade gift could speak more than a million bought gifts ever could.
As much as Navia would disagree with her.
(Y/N) has better chances of Chiori throwing them a surprise party as they would surviving a lightning strike from the Raiden Shogun herself.
Tumblr media
45's smile seems to soften when (Y/N) enters the dorm, though it was nearly pitch black.
(UMP45) "Well, you took your sweet time coming back."
(Y/N) "45? Why are you in my-"
UMP9 leapt out from underneath the table as the lights came on. HK416 was leaning against the wall while G11 was face first on the same table, sleeping away.
And in the middle appeared to be a cake that looked...ambitious, to put it kindly.
(UMP45) "Happy birthday.~"
UMP9 blew on a party horn, the small paper unfolding and making a small doot noise as her arms extended in joy.
HK416 simply shrugged and grunted, and G11 was still comatose.
(Y/N) "T-Thank you guys! You didn't really need to-"
(UMP45) "Not really, but I figured it'd be fun to celebrate something special with you."
Her smile only seemed to grow when (Y/N) joined her, watching the chaos unfold as UMP9 tried to cut a cake, despite the fact the knife was getting dangerously close to G11's unkempt hair.
(UMP45) "Thought I'd bring the squad along to have fun too. Clearly it's working better than I thought."
(Y/N) "This is already so chaotic though!"
(UMP45) "Exactly."
Tumblr media
Makoto is caught off guard when (Y/N) enters the room, holding a small cake with a candle in it.
The cake itself seemed terribly made, as it looked like it'd crumble if one simply stared at it for too long.
(Makoto) "U-Um...Welcome back! I tried to make something for you myself and...you see how that worked."
Makoto sighed but (Y/N) laughed, giving a comforting hand on her shoulder.
(Y/N) "I appreciate it, still. But hey it smells really good!"
(Makoto) "And the taste...?"
(Y/N) took a bite out of it, and smiled, turning back to Makoto.
(Y/N) "Honestly, not bad! I'm not dead yet!"
Makoto chuckled as she sighed.
(Makoto) "Well, I suppose that's good reassurance."
Makoto would fail instantly at a surprise party, mostly because she'd spend too much time to get it ready, only for (Y/N) to walk in way too early.

🩷SFW A-Z: Aphrodite🩷
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Extremely! Aphrodite is pretty much always in someone's space, be that hanging off them, playing with their hair, climbing into their laps, grabbing them by the hand, etcetera. Gives absolutely no second thought to being physical with the people she's fond of. If she's not touching you, you can safely assume she's upset about something. Just stroke her ego a bit and she'll back to snuggling with you in no time!
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Gives Dionysus a run for his money as most gossipy bitch on Olympus. As a friend, Aphrodite is constantly coming to you to tell you all about family politics and who said whats and who slept with whom. Aphrodite's favorite thing to do with you is sit with you in the mountain of pillows she calls a bed and chatter about anything and everything while she does her nails. She'll happily do yours too if you let her, by which I mean she's already picked out a color and isn't taking no for an answer. Also, if Aphrodite is your friend, you can fully expect her to insert herself into everything you do. Are you a singer? Aphrodite can be your muse! Painter? Don't worry, Aphrodite will always pose for you. Architect? Hmm, have you considered building a temple to Aphrodite? Also is CONSTANTLY chatting you up to everyone in the immediate vicinity even if you already have a partner or just have no interest in one. As far as Aphrodite's concerned, monogamy is just a suggestion, and if you don't want to have sex? Aphrodite takes pleasure in rubbing everyone's noses in the fact that they can't have someone as pretty as you. Not as pretty as her obviously, but close enough ;)
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Aphrodite is extremely snuggly. Lots of wrapping herself around you like a human-shaped boa constrictor. Her favorite position is with you leaning against your chest so she can play with your hair.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Retire? From being worshipped and adored? Oh come now, really, you must be joking! Aphrodite's never getting sick of that! In fact, she's a little offended that you asked! Cook? Clean? Absolutely not. Such chores are for lesser beings.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Similar to Dionysus, Aphrodite just kinda... stops talking to people and hope they get the hint. If confronted however, she will be a lot nicer about it than Dio. She'll say things like how she's so sorry that it's just not working out anymore, but, oh, don't feel bad! It wasn't your fault, dear. Of course, she doesn't mean a word of it, but at least she says it. You'll never catch her saying the cliché "it's not you, it's me" thing though. The day Aphrodite admits she might even maybe potentially be in the wrong is the day the Underworld freezes over.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
For being the goddess of love, Aphrodite puts surprisingly little stock into marriage. So long as you love each other, who cares? And, like I said, Aphrodite things monogamy is overrated. There's a whole wide world out there full of things to love and people to play with, why would you limit yourself to just one? Aphrodite would be alright with a committed relationship, but not an exclusive one. And as for marriage... well, she already is. Marriages upon Olympus tend to be more political than anything else and splitting with Hephaestus would cause quite a bit of trouble. Also she quite likes Hephaestus. Marriage just isn't going to happen with Aphrodite.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Aphrodite doesn't bite... unless you ask her very nicely ;) She's a lot sweeter than some of the other gods and, assuming you're in her good graces, will be extremely careful around you to ensure you don't get hurt. Tends toward passive aggression and snide comments rather than outright yelling at you if she's annoyed with you.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Aphrodite is a very clingy. She'll snuggle up tight to you, enjoying the warmth of your body against her own. Always mixes a quick kiss on the cheek (at the very least) into her hugs.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Aphrodite has no shame in who she likes and she will extoll your virtues at every available opportunity. New outfit? Look at how cute you are! Fetch her something? Well, aren't you just the most helpful, perfect person that ever existed. "I love you"s come frequently too. There's no set rhyme or reason for it, just whenever she looks at you and her appreciation for you bubbles over. Will always manage to squeeze an "I love you" in if she has to leave in a hurry.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Aphrodite doesn't get jealous. Love is her domain. So long as you're loving ANYONE, you're worshipping her. Any kind of dating or sex or even just close friendship is an appreciation of her and Aphrodite absolutely DEMANDS to hear about anyone else you have your eye on.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Aphrodite gives kisses like she's handing out candy. Kisses for greetings, kisses for goodbyes, kisses as a way to say thank you. A lot of her kisses are quick and fleeting, but when she really gets into it... wow. She's passionate and devoted, constantly chasing you and pulling you back in for more. She's prone to nibbling on your lips too. Generally nothing too harsh but she is for sure looking to mark you up. Aphrodite's favorite place to kiss you is on the mouth, but that's not to say she isn't leaving kisses everwhere else too. She's like a teething puppy; if she can reach it, she's putting her mouth on it.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Aphrodite a solid yes about kids. She's the goddess of all kinds of love not just the romantic sort, and of course familial falls into her domain. I feel like she definitely has a breeding kink too and would absolutely adore using her pregnancy as an excuse to have you fall all over her. Would be a doting and attentive caregiver to her kids, although I imagine an incredibly embarrassing one. Mom, you don't need to come on to everything that moves. Mom, please. Mom, stop flirting with my teacher.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Sleepy. Lazy. Probably a quickie in there if Aphrodite has her way. She's quite fussy about her sleep and absolutely despises being woken up. If she's allowed to wake up by herself though, she is immediately herself. No brief period where she feels sluggish or languid. Nope, just instantly herself! If you get up before her, it's just best to let her keep sleeping. If you made her breakfast, she'd be over the moon for you. When Aphrodite gets up before you... honestly she'll probably wake you up by complete accident. She just can't help how cute you look when you're asleep! You can't blame her for staring at you and petting your hair!
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
However you want to spend it. If you want to have a bit of fun before bed, Aphrodite is of course, down, but if you want to just sleep? That's fine too. Aphrodite is a big snuggler when she sleeps and will spend the entire night wrapped around you like an octopus.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Aphrodite is pretty much an open book. If you've talked to her for even five seconds, you already know how she's feeling. Being Aphrodite's friend or partner wouldn't change that. She wears her heart on her sleeve and sees no reason to do otherwise.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Someone really needs to inform Aphrodite that pretty and petty are in fact two seperate words and do not need to go hand in hand. She is just... such a touchy bitch. Even a perceived slight will be met with her full wrath. Fortunately, like many of the Olympians, her moods never really last long. Give her like five minutes and a sincere apology and she's probably over it, threateningly sweetly booping your nose and telling you not to do it again.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Aphrodite knows everything about you. You're devoted to her and she is, in turn, devoted to you. Favorite color, favorite food, favorite thing for her to gift to you? Aphrodite remembers everything. She is kind of cheating though. Aphrodite can read your love and knows the way you feel about things without you even having to tell her.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Can't Aphrodite say all of them? No? Well, then she'd have to say anytime you do something unexpected or make her laugh. Any personal quirk is something Aphrodite loves. She finds everything you do absolutely adorable, especially if you do something out of the norm like make blanket forts or splash around in puddles. Sing to the shower, dance in your living room, basically anything silly and whimsical you do is something Aphrodite goes head over heels for.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Extremely. Aphrodite won't be constantly hanging over you but she is definitely keeping an eye on you, and if anyone messes with you, you can be sure Aphrodite's already heard about it. People often forget that she has an aspect of war in her. Aphrodite can be bloodthirsty in her passions and won't hesitate to rip hearts out over the people she cares about. In terms of protecting her, well... Aphrodite doesn't really need to be protected but that doesn't mean she doesn't find it terribly attractive when you try. Get into a fight over her honor and she will be doting on you for the next month.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
She doesn't really. All those things are part of her domain so she doesn't need to put too much effort into it. It just comes naturally to her. Her love life tends toward the stereotypically romantic, with rose petals and hand feeding and candlelit dinners. So very "high-effort" even if Aphrodite isn't really expending much energy to make it so.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Aphrodite has a short temper and an easily bruised ego so extreme care must be taken to avoid upsetting her. Also, she is INCREDIBLY nosy. Personal space whomst? Aphrodite is squirming into every aspect of your life and honestly doesn't quite understand the concept of boundaries or alone time.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
You... you're serious? Narcissism? Sorry, I think you misspelled "Aphrodite." Any slight against her appearance can go so far as to cause a literal WAR. Touchy much? I'm not saying she'd rip you to bloody shreds if you dared say something even vaguely negative about her but I'm also not NOT saying that, you know?
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Probably not. I mean, she's got legions of devoted followers. If you ended the relationship, she'd move on pretty quickly. I mean, after exacting her revenge for breaking up with her. If you died, it would probably be similar. She's keeping you in her thoughts and sending messages to you through Zagreus, but she wouldn't like kick down the Underworld's door to get you back.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Aphrodite has a soft spot for weeds and common flowers. Daisies and dandelions and clover are all things Aphrodite would appreciate in a bouquet. Obviously she likes the more classic rose too, but the beauty found in mundane objects are no less pretty for their frequency. Aphrodite is the kind of person who'd admire a seagull or a simple grey pebble. There's love to be found in everything, if only you look.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Vanity. Ironic, no? But if you're spending more time on yourself than her, Aphrodite will get frustrated. She'll hate when you talk badly about yourself but if you ever claim to be prettier than her... I hear the Underworld is nice this time of year. She's also not huge on homophobia. Excuse me? That is HER domain you're hating on.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
A very fussy sleeper. Must have an extensive amount of pillows to the point her bed looks like a literal nest. Must be in complete darkness but hates sleep masks. Has curtains on both her windows and her bed to achieve this. Hates total silence so she has a fountain near her bedchambers. If any of these things are missing, Aphrodite will wake up cranky and in an absolutely terrible mood. Wars have been started because Aphrodite didn't get a good night's sleep.

I honestly can’t believe I’ve never noticed this before, but did anyone else realize how they completely gloss over the fact that Rhaenyra literally just gave birth in episode 10? I mean sure we have that whole scene, and then Visenya’s funeral, and it is mentioned in 2x02, but it doesn’t seem to physically affect Rhaenyra at all. Now I have never given birth, so I can’t speak from personal experience, but it feels pretty reasonable to assume that she’d still be in a decent amount of pain for the rest of the episode, and maybe even early season two. Obviously Rhaenyra would want to hide it as much as possible because she doesn’t want to the men around her to think she’s weak, but just a shot or two of her needing to sit down, or hold onto something, or wincing slightly when she moves, or even taking a tiny bit of milk of the poppy, (or better yet being offered some and refusing because she remembers what it did to her father,) would really help remind everyone that she just went through a very emotionally and physically painful childbirth. It would also have the potential to add to the Daemyra conflict. Let’s say that at some point after her coronation, maybe when they’re arguing about the TPTWP prophecy, (I refuse to call it the choking scene anymore. I have rewritten it in my own personal canon.) They’re both getting steadily angrier with each other, to the point where they're both practically screaming at each other, and then Rhaenyra does something that makes Daemon realize just how much pain she's in. It can be small, a wince or even just a particularly sharp inhale, but it's enough to remind him that even though she's pretending to be fine, she's still recovering from giving birth. He immediatly feel guilty for not realizing it earlier, and then he'd probably drop the argumen in favor of telling her to rest a little. (He wouldn't exactly concede, but he'd be willing to drop it for the time being.) Rhaenyra is going to be pretty against this, because she can't have people see her as weak, but eventually Daemon will convince her, ("their views will be of no consequense if childbed fever takes you because you refused to rest" something like that maybe?) It would be a nice little moment between them, and it would remind people how much Daemon loves Rhaenyra. But there is still the small problem of the greens taking the throne and Daemon knows time is of the essence so while Rhaenyra is resting, he gathers the small council to discuss potential plans. I don't think he'd actually do anything without her, at most he'd send a raven or two, but it's still enough to look like a power grab. When Rhaenyra hears she'll be understandably pissed because how dare he tell her to rest and then start making plans without her? Daemon on the other hand doesnn't think he did anything wrong: his wife needs to rest so she'll be ready when the war properly kicks off, and instead of sitting around and doing nothing, he's making sure that he has a few plans in place for when she comes back. He'd definatly be aware that most of the small council probably think he's trying to undermine Rhaenyra, but he doesn't care because she knows thats not what he is trying to do. Or at least he thinks she does. I honestly think that Daemon just kind of assumes that Rhaenyra will understand his motivations, because historically she has always understood him better than anyone. So when he finds out that she thinks hes using her to get to the throne, he'll feel pretty betrayed. It'll remind him a lot of his relationship with Viserys and he really doesn't want to relive that. All of this will set up a post-B&C confrontation really nicely.
But I'm not asking for all that. All I wanted was for Rhaenyra to actually seem like she was recovering from her sixth childbirth. The showrunners might have thought that it made her seem "stronger" if she wasn't in pain (or maybe they just forgot) but it actually would have hit harder if we saw that she was still recovering while so much was happening around her.
Ok thats my little rant. Let me know what you think!

Robin's SFW Alphabet :D!
(Template by @/the-coldest-goodbye. Found here)
SFW Alphabet Under the Cut!
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Robin is EXTREMELY affectionate! Physically she loves to hug, kiss, cuddle and just be with and lay with you. Obviously she tones it down A LOT in public, to the point that it doesn't seem like you two are dating at all (best not to start drama, or any scandalous rumors, especially before you two are at least engaged).
But she makes up for it in private!
One of her favorite ways of showing affection is when everything is all nice and calm on the couch, or bed, she'll look at you, and gets very rowdy, practically tackling you, she wraps her waist-wings around your body, then arms, and spins like a crocodile doing the death roll. She likely even gets you both onto the floor like this, and as a finisher, she kisses you deeply, and covers your head with her head-wings.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
She adores nuzzling into you as well!
You were likely a fan of hers that met-up with her at a fan-meetup, or post-concert. You very-easily poured out your heart and soul on how much her music helped you through tough times.
You comment on her videos. Simple things, how you relate to one of her new songs, she replies back to you. It starts small. Soon you become a familiar face amongst the crowd of people, and a very familiar account in her comments.
You probably ask for a simple way to message her first, bold on the outside, but far too worried on the inside, and it shows through the hot blush on your cheeks.
She thinks for a while. The internet is filled with creeps. The universe is filled with creeps. But... there's just as many, if not more, good people. You've spilled your heart out to her before, but despite that, you're not weird, or an overly-ecstatic fan. And honestly? She does want to know a little more about you.
You get info for her Alt Account (better to be on the safe side for both ways) and begin chatting.
You almost-always initiate talking on the phone, sharing pictures of your food, places or events you've gone to, cute animals. She answers and talks to you whenever she's free. Sure, the topic might have originally been about going to some rodeo, and simply asking if Robin has ever gone to one, but it somehow evolves into places that she wants to go, things she wants to do in life, and memorable past moments.
She's opening up to you!
You seem to be trustworthy.
Eventually you suggest going to some out-of-the-way once-a-year bar/karaoke event on this smalltime planet. Thankfully, her schedule for that specific day is free, you both have a wonderful time!
Afterwards she begins to talk sometimes about things that are stepping on her nerves, small, bite-sized bits of venting. Maybe they're about her brother inviting a pain-of-a-friend over for dinner, or annoyance at her not having as much free time. Thoughts about how she sometimes really just wants to quit having an agent, or people who are around to make her singing professional.
She prefers talking about this kind of stuff in person, mostly.
In turn, you offer her an ear to listen, assuring words spoken, and sometimes a lap to lay on.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
And she offers you the same in kind.
BIG cuddler. But you already know that.
So insteaaad...
C = Comfort (What makes them comfortable? How can one tell when they're feeling relaxed?)
Robin gets comfort from all manner of things. Affection, hearing songs, singing. She can get comfort from merely having you in the same room. You don't even need to be doing anything or saying anything, you could just be sleeping, drawing, or playing games on your phone, and the atmosphere will instantly feel light for her.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
She has a bit of a lazier look when she's all relaxed, and she tends to lean on things a lot, whether it be a sturdy couch, or a more questionably-sturdy you.
Robin. COMMITS. HARD.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
She wants to settle down with you EASY. In terms of house chores, she's... okay. She mostly just relied on butlers and chefs to clean and cook, but she doesn't want to have them around forever, and definitely doesn't want them when she's living with you! So she'll be improving on chores, though she'll definitely ask you to do some, too.
She's doing it in person, at a home dinner-date. She knows this will quite-possibly make it harder to break up with you, but she wants as little conflict as possible, and so does what she thinks will make you much less angry, or sad. So she butters you up with the best food she can think about making, and after the beginning but before the middle of the date, she goes quiet, not looking at you, and instead focusing on her plate.
Thoughts race through her mind... If I can stop one heart from breaking... That's cruelly ironic to her. Should she stop? She's thought about the words to break it off so many times... written it down... practiced it in her dressing room, bathroom, bedroom when the house was vacant with no one but her.
She's thought about it many times before. When did it all start? Not just the loneliness, but the dating. Why did it start?
She's certainly tried to communicate her feelings to you. Many times. But even now, she's not sure you understand. She's been trying to stick with you through thick and thin. Halovians are monogamous, like birds. And humans try their best to be. Is she a bad person if she breaks it off with someone who means so much to her?
It feels like hours have passed, but that's just the dissonance between her racing mind and heart, and the slow candleflame that flickers in the dining room.
She breathes in. Tells you how much she loves you, and how much she wants to stay together but... you two... just aren't right for each other.
Just like how a cat cannot live off of salad, she can't live with how little you seem to care about her feelings, or your relationship. How you barely reciprocate in these recent few years. She can't exist in a relationship where she needs tug and rip up the earth for blades of grass for love. And the worst part is that there's no explanation on your part for why you've thrown her in a dry lot.
She loves you. But she can't keep living like this.
Her face feels like the candle wax melting on the table due to flame that eats away to last ever longer. Dripping, burning hot and wet from the tears that stream down.
But Robin doesn't perceive any of it.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
The next day, there's only the faint scent of peppermint lingering around the deserted house you two shared.
As I mentioned earlier, Robin COMMITS. She doesn't commit with a snap of her fingers, though she wants to. But she knows that there's people in the universe that she shouldn't trust, or that aren't the best to commit to. So she commits sincerely, and slowly.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
You would need to spend 5-7 years with her as your girlfriend for her to marry. She would want to marry earlier, but things change, and people change, so she would much-rather be on the safe-side. Also, she's worried about causing drama if it gets out that you married, but later divorced.
Very gentle, and very caring. Though, looking into your eyes gives her the need to be rambunctious and TACKLE you!
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Emotionally, she's extremely caring! She doesn't tend to offer you possible solutions to problems, and instead will listen to you, and comfort you for as long as you want her to.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Haha. Yes. (I can't think of any other Hs for relationship stuff, I'll update it if I find/think of something >.<)
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
It takes a reasonable amount. Maybe about 2+ months into the relationship. She says it back with ease, but it takes a bit of a while for her to say it point-blank to you first.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
She doesn't get jealous. She trusts you immensely, especially if you're 3+ years into a relationship with her!
Her kisses can be insistent, and there can be a lot at once, but they're rarely ever rough. There's maybe a nibble or lick every now and again, but not much beyond that, since she doesn't do hickeys much.
Robin likes kissing you everywhere! Everywhere on your face, everywhere on your torso, and sometimes on your lower parts. The frequency of kisses usually depends on how much skin you show, since Robin prefers to kiss skin, not through clothes, liking the warmth from it.
She likes getting kissed on her face, but her little head winglets are very big sensitive zones, and easily make her flush red!
Right on her cheeks and under her eyes are good places to kiss, too. Your eyelashes tend to brush up against her face, making for a fluttery feeling!
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Her neck is a very, very important area to note! If you kiss her without warning, she'll freeze up like a suffocating animal. She prefers exclusively gentle kisses there due to bullet-hole trauma, so no hickeys are allowed! She'll loosen up after the first few seconds after kissing there, but still keep in mind to be careful.
She's pretty good around children (not much of a surprise there). She might smile every once-in-a-while at a child in passing, and she doesn't do babysitting, but that's about the extent of it.
She wouldn't mind if you wanted to have a child, but she would much prefer that you've both been married for two-or-more years before you try anything.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Likewise, she's perfectly fine not raising anything! Getting a kid is a big commitment, and she really just wants to take it slow.
She usually wakes up naturally anywhere from 4am-6am (her Halovian instincts be kicking in). She usually tries to cuddle and keep you sleeping for the next 15-30 minutes, the slowly guides your hand and body away from hers so that she may slip out and off of the bed unnoticed.
Rather than coffee, she either drinks cafinated tea that she makes herself, or doesn't drink anything at all and goes straight to making breakfast. You usually wake up pretty groggy, and when she notices you, she instantly gives a tight "I love you~ Wake up soon~!" kind-of hug.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
On workdays, she usually starts work around 9-12.
Robin rarely stays up past 9, or 10 pm. She always has a lot of things to do in the mornings, so she doesn't want to botch her schedule.
After 12-5, she'll get some relaxation time, which can be spent in a variety of different ways (it's also the time most-likely for dates). She might be practicing singing for her next liveshow, or be comfortable and lazy, taking 1-3-hour-long naps that start around 1-4. It's mostly just relaxing, and she wants you to be near her for most of it!
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Around 7, she'll take a shower that lasts around 15 minutes, or a bath that lasts for the next 30 minutes to hour. She has one of those boujee tub-showers that keep the water warm.
I covered this earlier in B. And I can't think of any alternative Os, sorry
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
.w.
Robin is a very patient individual! And she uses plenty of good communication, with "I" pronouns, and how stuff makes her feel.
During an argument, she'll do her best to stay cool-headed. If her calm were to break, then instead of getting angry, she would end up tearing up, and failure on you to calm down or comfort her would result in full-blown crying, which she tries to stay quiet during.
In terms of getting irritated, refusal or difficulty communicating on your side can result in her getting very peeved, to say the least.
You need space before you can talk about how you felt in the last disagreement and want to be in the guest room for a while. Perfectly fine! She's sure you just need to cool down a bit!
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
But if you continue with trying to avoid talking about it, that's when she can get very irritable and she starts pushing more.
She does her best to remember things, she might not remember everything you say in passing, but she has a greater ability to remember stuff if you have a story, or emotions attached to what you say.
For example, she might not find it easy to remember where you went to Highschool if you just namedrop it casually, but if you explain how/why you went to Highschool there, she has an easier job to remember it.
I imagine she has lil' notes in a tiny notepad or pocket-sized booklet that she writes in to remember the specifics.
She's very good with dates, remembering where to meet up, and what time, as well. She has a calendar to help her organize her events, knowing the deadlines for things and such, so as such she looks at, and uses it regularly.
Even if she didn't have that, though, she keeps times and dates for things involving you with in her head with extreme accuracy.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
She also remembers things more if you say them with a certain emphasis, or with certain inflections, since it's such a change from the more unvaried tones of her brother and the various agents or manager.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Likely the first date you went on as friends, during that one karaoke event. She opened up to you, and you stayed open to her. It was the first time she realized that she might actually really like you. Well, liked you enough to grow ever closer to you anyway.
Just because she doesn't get jealous very much, doesn't mean that she isn't protective of you. She prefers to solve things peacefully, and uses the POWER OF THE HARMONY to calm down someone or something. It starts by humming, then goes up.
In more urgent times (like someone actively trying to harm you in an alleyway, or something), she's NOT hesitating to stand up in front of you, and uses the POWER OF THE HARMONY to try to persuade the assailant to step aside. If that doesn't work, she probably does a bit of disorienting. She's not particularly strong, but self-defense classes taught her where to strike to unbalance others. Then she ties the person in your sweater, or coat, and calls it good.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Either way, after it's all said and done, she also calls for the authorities. She doesn't want to arrest someone, and would much prefer the Circle Justice method, or something similar, but isn't going to think about risking you for a split-second!
Pretty good effort, though she prefers for dates and stuff to be out of the public eye, so movie nights, home dinner-dates, picnics at a low-traffic park, stuff like that.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
She tries a lot, and wants to make everything as special to you, as you are to her.
Has issues with doing stuff in public, even post-marriage! She feels like she needs to restrain herself as best she can for the label and her career, but it also makes her feel guilty, since she wants to give you all of how she feels, ALL the time!
Also, it's difficult to get her to take care of herself. She understands that it's important, but it's difficult to think about what will help make her stress better.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
She's also a HUGE people-pleaser, so if you overstep her boundaries, sometimes she won't outright say it, as much as she tries to have good communication. It's like she becomes blind-sided in what you want, that she completely forgets how to gently tell you to take it slower, or to stop doing something.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Not all that much, but she does as much appearance care as she can doing simple things, like preening, exercising, washing her face and body, applying simple, but effective moisturizing creams, etc.
Mmmaaybee? I feel like if you two were to break it off, she'd be obviously sad, and it would take her A LOT to get over you.
But she needs to put on a brave face. Her job doesn't stop just because of a little heartbreak. People break up all the time. So she should just grit her teeth, smile for the cameras, and bear it.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
She absolutely DOES NOT write any sad break up songs. At most, she might listen to sad music every once in a while to cry to it, but is worried it'll get worse if she dwells on it.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Ahaha... this whole thing has been headcanon city! I'm not sure I could think of any unless I'm outright asked!
Does not like jealousy. She doesn't like being fought over. It makes her feel as if you don't trust her enough to be loyal, or like you think you need to prove yourself to her, which is just... not the case, or at least she feels like it isn't.
She probably would like that feeling of protection if you were to shoo away a fan, or a persistent person that won't listen when she says she has a girlfriend. But doing it too much, or getting protective over overeager fans, or people over your first proper meeting... isn't very good. She has enough protection in bodyguards and Sunday. She'll get you calm first, by holding your hand and rubbing one of the pressure points in your palms that helps to calm anxiety, and says that she feels safe by your side, so you don't need to overdo it (it's mostly just a roundabout way of trying to get you to calm down, but she will be more direct if you don't get it the first few times).
A big one (and what I based my whole E off of) is lack of communication, and reciprocation. I don't really need to repeat it, so you can just read it again instead :D
Honestly, just conflict in general, and drama, she doesn't really approve of. She's fine, and very understanding if you vent about your troubles, and you do the same to her, but directly getting involved in the drama or conflict with your family members, or friends is a no-go with her.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
During colder months, she 100% wraps her wings and legs around your body, and nuzzles right into your chest.
With hot months, she mostly just settles for hand-holding at the beginning, but her head somehow finds a way to your chest during the night anyway.
Haha. That was a lot. :D

AITA for "gossiping" about a coworker?
I (27m) work in a liquor store and am quite genuinely the most competent employee despite having been until very recently the newest. Other than the owner, there are 2 who've worked there longer than me and both of them (I'll call em C (31m) and M(39f) have made much less effort to learn about liquor or even, quite frankly, people skills than I have. And lemme tell you, I started out very socially anxious. I'm a regular socialite now.
So C, at least, has a really good work ethic. He's not super socially adept with customers but he makes up for it by going above and beyond, like taking initiative to do a lot of the relatively "shit" work that the rest of us don't wanna do. I'd also say I get along with him very well bc he's pretty intelligent and open-minded.
M, meanwhile, is genuinely the most simple-minded person I've ever known in my life. The good thing is that she seems to be kind of self-aware of not being very smart and able to be a good sport about it (ngl it helps that I'm gay and she's the type to want a sassy gbf so i can kinda get away with being mean as a joke) - and she is also often just as self-aware about the fact that she doesn't do shit at work. Like she'll literally pause deliveries just bc she doesn't feel like driving, she never takes out trash, she's basically always late, she mentally shuts down at the prospect of any math despite working with money, she has little to no decision-making skills either, she spends half her shift in the bathroom and the other half literally playing solitaire, she isn't able to help customers with shit bc she's never made an effort to learn about anything we sell, etc. But she's nice, and we really don't need her help that much with anything other than just having people behind the counter.
And that's more or less what I told the newest hire, S(25F). It was in the context of explaining exactly how incredibly easy this job is - that basically almost nothing was gonna be expected of her. As examples I told her how M does the least here by far after being here for over 2 years and is at no risk of being fired. I really didn't think much of it bc my intentions were purely to point out that this is a chill job.
But a few weeks later, seemingly at random, M kinda blew up at me for being "disrespectful" about something entirely unrelated. In short it was a matter of me getting a little too comfortable joking about her incompetence in front of a customer, and I hadn't realized in this particular instance it would be upsetting but I understood after the fact and I apologized. She responded literally ONLY by saying "you're not gonna disrespect me, I'm grown" and went on to literally just leave for the day. I was baffled, but when I saw her next I basically immediately gave another apology. She explained then that the reason she was upset was that the new girl S told her that I said she was the laziest one here, saying "I thought we were friends."
I obviously tried to apologize profusely, promising her that it wasn't a "talking shit" sort of thing and trying to explain the context of that, etc. But also I think it's pretty fucking rich and kinda insane of her to be so upset that I said she was lazy. She says so herself, all the time. Also the fact that S would tell M about this conversation and clearly either leave out the context or just do nothing to dissuade M from being upset about it.... Basically idk if I should feel bad about this. In the future I won't be talking shit to S just pragmatically speaking but WAS i wrong to do it at all? AITA?
What are these acronyms?

✧ Shizuku knows you like cold weather and yet she's always worried you're gonna get a cold...
✧ even if you're used to temperatures like that, she'll still give you a warm jacket or a scarf in order to keep you away from sickness
✧ even if it's cold place, she's still gonna be worried about you, so there's no getting away from her when it comes to that...
✧ sure, you can argue with her but it's hard.. but you can get a compromise if you play your cards right! Like... she'll just check your temperature every now and then, and if you get cold, she's inmidietly pulling out additional layers
✧ getting some advices from Shiho very recommended here
"It's 10°C!! Quick, here's a scarf."
✧ she'll also scold you any time you sit on something cold...
✧ by now she began to carry a pillow or a blanket so you could sit on it instead
✧ also, get ready for lots of homemade tea! She takes some with her every time you have a walk to make sure you're never gonna be cold
✧ she's like a mom really... she may be exaggerating a bit, but she means no harm! Quite the opposite, she's just worried about you

✧ An most likely likes cold places too, tho I feel like she's easily getting cold... just the feeling I get from how she wears hoodie almost all the time! Dunno if it was explained somehwere in the event story...
✧ you got that likes cold x is usually cold dynamic
✧ she's often joking how "she can go but she's not gonna share her hoodie if you'll be cold!" but you both know, she'd let herself freeze to death for sale of giving you her hoodie so YOU won't freeze
✧ despite her being a bit... resistant towards idea of going out when it's so cold at first, she soon becomes used
"Out? But it's like freezing outside!"
"You know we can grab a coffee on our way so it'd be warmer, right?"
"Hm.. Alright..! Guessed you convinced me."
✧ but a nice, warm cup of coffee is enough to get her used to date in this cold weather!
✧ despite that, you two probably often end with cold... so you spend days in An's room, her dad taking care of not only his daughter, but also her lover...
✧ at least it's fun to joke and cough together? Well.. usually?
✧ she's also a bit careless when it comes to cold weather... never having blanket to sit on so you two sit on cold surface... and you still don't know why you catched w cold?
✧ the worst thing is... she refuses to admit she's starting to feel sick, because she doesn't want to say goodbye! Especially if you two are having so much fun together
"Achoo! No, I'm fine... We can continue. Let's go on playground and not overthink it, alright?"

spreading the piper mclean love agenda bc shes my fav girl <3
-- <3 --
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
piper loves affection, it's like her best friend. her top two love languages are gift giving and physical touch. will always greet her s/o with a cheek/forehead kiss and a hug.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
piper is the best friend you could ask for. she's down for anything. when she makes the hangouts though, she typically does a movie night type of thing so the two of you could gossip.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
piper is like a leech in bed, she just wants to take up all the warmth. she'll steal the blankets too. typically likes to curl up next to her partner, no matter their height compared to hers, but will be big spoon if wanted.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
piper has wanted to settle down with the people she loved her whole life. she isn't the best at cooking or cleaning but is willing to learn.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
piper would try her best to keep a relationship going but she also knows when to accept that it's not going to work out. she'll have a nice calm talk with her partner and explain, and try not to leave off on bad terms.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
piper is willing to be loyal and give her commitment to marriage if her partner is ready too. she'll want at least three years of dating before marriage though.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
physically, piper is kind of rough. she really embodies her love, and it can be a lot sometimes so you'll have to remind her calm down and be gentle sometimes. emotionally, she's such a sweet understanding soul who always tries her best to do right by you.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
piper loves hugs, especially bear hugs. like i said, she likes to greet people with hugs. she gives long tight hugs with big squeezes.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
piper isn't shy to say i love you, even if she has to do it first. once she knows she really loves a person, she'll never stop saying it.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
piper gets jealous on the rare occasion, but when she does it's very strong. you have to talk some sense to her and remind her that she's the only person you have eyes for.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
sweet and quick pecks are piper's forte, but if the mood calls for it she can be slow and sensual. she likes to kiss your cheeks and forehead a lot, but she does kiss on the lips quite frequently. and her favorite spot to be kissed is probably her knuckles, like how people kiss royalty. it makes her feel special and respected.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
piper adores children. growing up in a lonely mansion did not help her emotional growth as a kid, so whenever she sees a kid she always plays with them and talks with them to make them feel seen.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
piper enjoys sleeping in, and doesn't usually get up till around eleven. and even then, it's kind of hard to wake her up. she adores morning lazy cuddles though.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
piper's kind of a night owl, and can only fall asleep to some kind of noise (music, tv, etc), so it is something you have to grow used to when sleeping next to her.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
piper trusts you dearly, but it can be hard for her to open up and say the truth after being framed as a liar for such a long period of her life. so, she does open up slowly at first, but once she's done it the first few times she'll just start saying everything.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
out of the seven, i'd say piper's the most patient. she always has to be careful about how she says things, and interprets them due to her charmspeak and how it can occur without her meaning it to when distressed, so she forces herself to be patient. regardless of that though, she's always been super understanding.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
piper has a good memory in the books, able to remember specific little details without problem, so it's no surprise that she's especially attentive to you and remembers a lot. her christmas gifts are amazinggg
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
her favorite memory is taking you out to her grandpa's old cabin for a weekend and having time for just the two of you to relax
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
piper isn't as protective as some of the other members of the seven, mostly because she deeply believes in your capabilities but if she ever thought you were in danger she would have no problem with stepping in. the same goes for how she feels about herself, because she knows she can take down a monster if needed.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
being the daughter of the goddess of love, there's no doubt that piper puts immense amounts of effort into dates and anniversaries. she also loves making home-made gifts for you, so piper is always good about those kinds of things.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
she tends to get low on confidence at times, and might believe that you're too good for her. times like that you kind of just need to bring her back down to earth.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
piper knows she's beautiful, so she's purposefully gone out of her way in the past to make herself look "ugly" to try and get rid of the stereotype that pretty people can't be strong. now though, after discovering she was a demigod, she takes more pride in her appearance and actually enjoys dressing up on the rare occasion.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
once piper loves someone, they become a part of her. she loves everyone in the seven, so if they were to ever leave she'd be deeply upset but you? she'd be devastated and completely heartbroken.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
loves hello kitty, and feminine clothing and things like that but just never has the time to really dress up.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
people who are controlling about their partner's social life but seemingly don't care about any other aspect. gives her the ick.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
piper moves around a lot in her sleep, so expect to be whacked by an arm or a leg at least once.

Christine Canigula was socially ostracized & developed a complex to protect herself: an essay
(suddenly i NEED to infodump about Christine actually so here)
Something I only noticed on rewatch: the way Christine will say something silly and then just kind of gingerly wait to see if Jeremy reacts well to it before continuing, almost like she's asking permission?? (e.g. the gap after the first stanza of "Play Rehearsal"). And it's only after he riffs off her bowling alley bit that she feels comfortable talking about her personal feelings with him (right before "Guy that I'd Kinda be Into"). The same happens with their "weird noise" exchange immediately before "It's pretty killer to sit and chat with you." I know theater relies on being succinct, and that 'bonding over shared quirks' and 'feelings talk' are both just crucial parts of relationship development... but I don't think it's a coincidence that it always goes in that order!
It's like Jeremy has to pass these *trials of weirdness* before she feels safe opening up to him and it drives me BONKERS so I wrote a whole 1000 word thing about it under the cut and this got too massive and I'm sorry. Also some autistic Jeremy meta at the end if that sweetens the pot hehehe
Table of contents:
Why she was ostracized
How she was ostracized
How that might inform her pattern of relationship development with Jeremy and Jake
How gender caused Jeremy's experiences to differ from hers, and how that affects their current relationships with "popularity" and peer acceptance.
1. Why she was ostracized
I am just so certain that Christine has been bullied or at least majorly outcast for a lot of her life. She's very obviously neurodivergent and because of that she can have these obnoxiously deep and repetitive interests, she can't judge if a piece of information will be genuinely interesting to someone, and she doesn't take social cues very well.
She frequently interrupts people when they're talking (an ADHD symptom btw), even when they're literally talking to her about the thing she wants to hear!
(C: "Do you find that? Because I totally find that!" J: "Uh, yeah, I-" C: "-And no matter how hard I try....")
(J: "I know the last thing I deserve is another shot, but-" C:"Jeremy, just... say what's on your mind.") (girl I'm sorry but that's what he was doing..... I have a whole other thoughtpiece on how this particularly fucks with Jeremy while they're dating but thats another thing...)
She doesn't seem confident in her interpretations of people's emotions and she'll ask/talk about them point blank (both theirs and her own) in a way a lot of people would find rude
("Uh, you seem really nervous...") ("Popular people are fucked up! *mutual laughter* …I mean, you're one of them!") ("I am flattered, this is new / still I'm not sure what I should do" <- as a response to getting asked out, that's pretty bold! Plus the entire part where she laughs at Jake's "rich boy routine") (also compare and contrast to Jeremy's "I don't know what I'm supposed to say right now." idk. are your allistic stage dorks in the room with us right now motherfuckers)
I'd go on about her hyperfixations/special interests too but I think Play Rehearsal pretty much sums it up lol
2. How she was ostracized
All this to say that I am CERTAIN she spent a lot of her schooling having "nice girls" patiently let her sit with them at lunch for weeks at a time until they finally get sick of her rambling and faux pas. Only when they leave does Christine realize that they didn't actually care about anything she said... And this happens over and over and over. (I know this seems hella specific but I swear it's an actual phenomenon... at least I'm pretty sure? sdjflksjf)
But anyway, it's clear that by the time they're juniors, Christine has kind of (and I do only mean kind of) figured out what behaviour other people respond poorly to. And from evidence I stated in the intro, I think she's become really careful about which people she lets herself get attached to. She doesn't want this to ever happen again - which means if she's going to hang out with someone, she has to know that they actually care about her, that they know she will sometimes be obnoxious or blunt, and they'll still be okay with that forever.
3. Applying this to her canon relationships
You can extend this to Jake, someone who sees her in her element in drama rehearsal (the thing everyone finds annoying about her because she won't shut up about it) and STILL likes her. I think it's a totally valid reading that her bluntness with him later ("Upgrade") is just because she misreads him / doesn't quite get the social standard that she should be white lying instead. But I think you could also read her as testing the waters. If she's really going to commit to dating this guy, she's gotta know he's okay with her being herself. And the fact that this guy (and I think it's significant that he is a boy, for reasons I'll explain in the end note) genuinely seems to like her is a whole new level of peer validation ("I am flattered, this is new") -- so of course she's gonna fall at least a little! It doesn't hurt that he's "tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am..." just like her!
Her history with being pity-liked makes Chloe's "advice," that Jake's just toying with her and is going to move on soon, even scarier, because that's genuinely happened to her (on a platonic level) so many times before.
Jeremy is also a good candidate from the beginning because he's weird he's a weirdo he doesn't fit in and he doesn't wanna fit in you ever see him without this stupid cardigan on? that's weird! And she keeps warming up to him not only because they're getting to know each other but because he gets progressively more willing to not only tolerate (as Jake does) but *participate* in her weirdness!
First, she does something weird and he tolerates it ("Play Rehearsal"); the next time she's weird, he participates! (bowling ball before GTIKBI). Then finally finally finally he initiates the weirdness and lets her join in! ("weird noises" exchange before GTIKBI reprise).
And notably, it is THIS moment that canonically signifies that they've hit the apex of their canon relationship development. If there was an achievement called "Befriend Christine," it would have popped up right then and there!!!
IN CONCLUSION: YOUR HONOR I LOVE THEM T_T
4: Christine vs. Jeremy: Gender differences & how that ultimately impacts their social goals
I also think all of this would have happened to Jeremy too if he'd been a girl. But because, generally, young boys feel less social obligation than girls to take pity on the autistic kid (and because boys tend to be more quickly recognized as autistic) he just ends up completely alone for most of his school life (Michael nonwithstanding - and yeah there's an important distinction between your childhood friend putting up with you and knowing that, woah, I guess literally nobody else ever will).
Meanwhile, Christine has had people "put up" with her, and she's SICK OF IT!
That's part of why their complexes are so different, because Christine is trying to check everyone she meets to make sure they'll be okay with her weirdness before she gets attached, Jeremy is trying to eliminate his weirdness altogether because he's never even experienced his peers listening out of *pity* so how the hell can he expect someone to ever listen to him out of *interest?*
Jeremy has never had someone pretend to like him before, so he completely lacks Christine's fear of befriending someone who secretly hates you. He doesn't realize how bad it'll hurt him if he destroys his real self for popularity, if he befriends people who would have bullied his real self. He doesn't know what disingenuous friendship feels like, so like a very young Christine he's still actively trying to get there because he thinks it's the only kind of validation he'll ever get.
Do you see what im saying? Do you see it???? AUAUGUGUUGGH

Hii i’m the one who asked for the moira hq’s, do you think it could be a nsfw alphabet instead? 😣
NSFW Alphabet - Moira
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex): Shut up, only silence and touch. Moira isn't really a talkative lover when she's intimate. She'll hold you, however she prefers silence, and maybe a couple words of affirmation. If you try to talk to her, expect only hums in reply as she groans tiredly into your neck.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) Of herself? Probably her hair. Moira takes a lot of pride in keeping her hair styled. Of you? Probably your neck, Moira doesn't do well with intimate eye contact, so she'll bury herself in your neck instead.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically) No, sorry, she is getting the towels. She is kind of a neat freak, also is meh about cum tbh.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) Loves when you call her doctor in bed, it REALLY gets her going.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?) She fooled around in her younger years, but it's been a while for sure.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying) Lotus hands down. Likes to have you in her lap.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.) Not goofy at all.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.) Up to you reader.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect) For Moira, it's either very romantic (her sense of it at least) or a stress fuck. She will angry fuck you before breaking down in your arms.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon): Rarely, but still does.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks): Bondage, roleplay, use of aphrodisiacs, light degradation.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do) The Lab, office, or bedroom. No and's ifs for buts about it.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going): Calling her doctor, Her own anger sex is kind of an unhealthy channel for that anger tbh she needs to talk about her problems please talk to this woman she needs help, and jaw caresses.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs) I really don't know with Moira, I feel like she doesn't mind the edge of danger, so do expect to be played with a little dangerously. No talking during sex, that is a big pet peve, names and an occasional sentence is ok, but it's a huge turn off for her.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.) Loves receiving it, not too fond of giving it, but she is proficient if you ask nicely of her.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) Slow and sensual, but if she's angry she is rough with pace. Usually aggressively fast, her nails digging and clawing into your skin as she rolls her hips harshly into yours against her lab table.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.) Nope, not for her.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.) Big risk taker, she lives at the edge of danger.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?) Not long, Moira doesn't have the best endurance, but she'll try.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?) No, she misuses extra lab equipment. She might have a strap or a butt plug, but that's as much as I can think rn.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease) Depends on the mood, if she's feeling a little sadistic, oh yeah.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.) louder than you'd think, loud groans and grunts.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character) Has misused biotic orbs.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes) up to you reader.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?) Mild, once a week?
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards) Normal sex, she falls asleep last, if it's angry sex she collapses on the bed and passes out.

I am currently on a Jane Eyre bender, having watched every single adaptation since 1943 (I couldn't find 1934 or prior) in the last two weeks, and I have a lot of thoughts! But two thoughts are at the very top:
a) This piece of literature has had a TV or feature adaptation practically every decade, sometimes more, since the 1910s (and I'm only counting British and American version) and is we're due one this decade. Bring it on! I'll take a series after 2011, but hey 2006 is great already so maybe we just need another film? Or just give us the 2011 director's cut, you cowards!
b) (and this is the bigger point for today) I cannot explain to myself why, while I find age gaps intolerable in real life and especially in modern times, I really can't see it (and forget about it even) in Jane Eyre--for the most part. It doesn't truly bother me that she's barely 18 and Rochester 20 years older. Not even when you take into account the kind of life he led before he meets her and the added major power imbalance in their situation as boss/employee.
I mean, I have come to understand that the power imbalance given the norms at the time is the reason he brings in Ingram to try to get her to admit her feelings. He can't come outright and ask her for fear of appearing like a cad and stepping over the line if she doesn't reciprocate his feelings. At the same time, she can't ask him plainly because if she is wrong about his feelings, she'll only be the cliché governess who comes on to her boss and probably have to leave the very nice job and first refuge she ever had. So they are both at an impasse.
(I choose here to take at face value the idea that Bertha is truly mad and not driven mad and that the whole thing is tragedy because he's unable to divorce her. It's its own rant to discuss what she may represent or what the truth may be with her. Also noting that the age gap is only problematic because she's a teenager and he's basically middle-aged. If they had met later, at least nearer 25 for her, then it wouldn't be the same, although it really only stops being concerning after about 29, right?)
Anyway, I come back to the fact that I feel bothered that I am not that bothered that they have such gap. Because the other imbalances (wealth and employment status) adjust themselves eventually, but not age; he remains older and she younger. Is it because in the very specific context they are in they are equal in spirit and each really have something to teach the other? Or perhaps the time period? Because I definitely feel I would have an issue with the story if it was set in the 21st century, only because an 18yo today is not in any way the same as one in the mid 19th century.
She also has a superior self-awereness to her, given her life experiences that he lacks when they meet. He just has to first be humbled and taken down notches to get to her level. In that sense, he is no more mature for having lived longer and is stuck emotionally and perhaps mentally too in the age he was when his father and brother's died soon after his first marriage. But it remains she is a girl with absolutely no experience with men and he's a lothario who's been gallivanting the globe seducing women and being a sugar daddy.
One may say it's also because it is addressed by the characters themselves and that Rochester seems self-aware that he is much older, even at a time when many men of his station would see it as their due to get the 'young thing'. He makes remarks on his age in a way that diffuses the idea that she is blind to the potential for corruption that is there in their situation. He knows she deserves better.
But most important perhaps is that, in real life, the idea of a 38 yo and 18 yo getting together feels wrong because we have no insight into the relationship and only see the imbalance (justifiably because we know too well of the way older partners will manipulate their younger ones) no matter the gender. So the insight into Jane Eyre's mind manages to convince me of the validity of the relationship than if I was reading it as a document removed from her voice.
Jane Eyre is not the only story where I have contradictory views of age gaps. I am sure I've read other romances with gaps that don't bother me, when in real life I find it reprehensible for the most part.
Anyhow, I will certainly be looking into academic breakdowns of the couple to seek some answers, as I do.
These where thoughts I wanted to put down. Will come back later for thoughts on the adaptations.

(and I'd love some YOI of course!)
(In response to this post. Send me a 📓 and I'll tell you about a fic I have in mind.)
Oh you get a juicy, juicy fic from way back when. Affectionately called "Can't Touch This."
CW for angst and near-death experiences and uhh. Mild body horror? Sort of? Some people die but none of them are characters with names, nor are they very nice people to begin with.
It ends happily though, don't worry!
This fic is set in a vague fantasy magical setting that's supposed to resemble anything from like the late 1600s to the early 1800s. Because y'know, who needs historical accuracy in a world like this?
Childhood friends of sorts. They were school friends, and Viktor was a star student, advanced magic user, on track for some prestigious position right out of school. Yuuri was brilliant but struggled with doing things in the exact ways prescribed. His understanding of his magic and how to use it just didn't fit into the technical education mold.
Viktor tutored him though, and helped him figure out how to make his magic at least work with what they wanted him to do (or look like it did).
They parted ways when Yuuri graduated. Viktor was starting a teaching career at the university, while Yuuri went back to work with his parents in Yu-Topia.
They have a pair of boxes they can use to transport letters to each other, and while Yuuri keeps writing... Viktor does not. They fall out of touch, and Yuuri settles back into things.
Fast forward some years.
Yuuri's been working with his parents for a while now, and taking on other odd jobs in town that other magic users a) say are impossible, b) are unwilling to do, or c) will charge exorbitant amounts of money for.
One day, they get a guest from the north. He's called down to help prepare the room and it turns out to be Viktor. Yuuri's happy to see him, albeit confused. Viktor's very standoffish but also very nice.
Viktor says he's on break from teaching--a sabbatical of sorts--and that he just needs to look for some books? See if there are other people around for him to talk to about "uh... magic."
(Yuuri's like "Dude I'm right fucking here" but he doesn't say so.)
Still nice, like he had been, Viktor avoids Yuuri like the plague. Won't spend too much time with him, and leaps away when they're even close to physical contact which, you know, sucks because Yuuri'd gotten used to the little touches and hugs and the way Viktor expressed himself.
One day, he finds Viktor being attacked and realizes why.
(Cut here because a) it's getting long and b) this is where the horrifying stuff is.)
Viktor is trying to avoid conflict, avoid a fight, but the mugger comes at him, makes physical contact with him and starts screaming. Yuuri watches as the man just... melts, starting with where he'd touched Viktor. Ends up a pile of ooze.
Viktor's shellshocked, asks again and again why the person touched him when he said not to--he said not to, dammit--and Yuuri is. More understanding of why Viktor's so skittish.
He gets Viktor home (without touching him) and sits him down, forcing him to tell Yuuri about what's going on.
It's a curse. He'd been cursed by a colleague, and so far nothing he's tried has been able to break it. Makka's not with him because she loves cuddles and if he touches her, she'll die and he's horrified at himself, at his circumstances, at the possibility of killing another person.
Yuuri says they'll figure it out. Bullies Viktor (affectionately) into letting Yuuri go with him while they find magic, books, and/or magic users that can help them sort this out.
While they travel, Yuuri goes into town, handles dealing with people. He does the cooking (they don't know what Viktor's touch will do to food), and Viktor takes care of setting up camp and whatnot. Tries to stay away from everyone, to ignore the worsening nightmares.
Tries to ignore, too, the way the curse is getting worse and worse over time.
He and Yuuri dance around each other, pining. Viktor's not willing to let himself even think of trying to rebuild anything until he's not a walking death trap. Yuuri's trying to be understanding about the distance and such, but it keeps getting to him until they fight. They make up, though, and feel a little better about things.
After a few weeks of travel they end up at Minako's and everything she does a) hurts like a bitch and b) fails to work.
(Yuuri sits outside the door, unable to help, his head in his hands as he listens to what sounds like torture.)
They decide they need to go back to the university. Minako will try to meet them there.
Lots of touch starvation, lots of pining while they travel. Winter is settling in and it's cold and they can't even take shelter in each others' arms.
One night their camp is raided and Yuuri is injured badly. Viktor has no weapon to hand and if he tries to find one, Yuuri's going to die so he just leaps at their attackers and touches each and every one of them.
Yuuri is unconscious. Viktor begs him not to die, tells him he's in love with him and is sorry he didn't tell him before and to stick around, dammit.
Somehow, he gets Yuuri back to Minako.
Once Yuuri's safely with her for treatment, Viktor leaves on his own and heads back to the University.
On the way back, he finds a cave he remembers, from when he and a small group were snowed in years and years ago. It was bad. Some people didn't make it and Viktor and the few who lived were found unconscious, but despite the memories, it's a solid shelter.
He finds, there, his letterbox that he'd lost. It's full to bursting with Yuuri's letters and he realizes how it must have felt, all these years with no response. He'd had no idea where to even start looking for it and meant to try and/or write the inn, but hadn't known where to send a letter for Yuuri if not just... through the box.
He cries. He resolves again to get this curse broken so maybe he can actually hold his best friend/the man he's in love with.
Once he's at the University, Viktor sneaks in and runs almost directly into Yura. After explaining, begging, and promising a few rewards, Yura agrees to help him break into his colleague's office.
They look through stuff until Lilia and Yakov find him, and both are unimpressed.
At Minako's, Yuuri wakes. He doesn't remember the confession beyond words in a dream-like state, and doesn't believe it was real. He's injured, still, but when he finds out Viktor went to the University, he's livid.
But he's still healing, and he can't leave Minako's yet.
At the University, Lilia is working with Viktor and given she knew Viktor's colleague and how he worked, and given she has Minako's notes, she makes better headway with it.
Yuuri heals enough to be escorted home after a month, and goes back to working with his parents. He mostly helps in the kitchen, now, as it's most compatible with the effects of his injuries.
Viktor keeps trying. Lilia's last-ditch solution is an attempt to literally reform Viktor's magic, cutting out the parts corrupted by the spell and taking the spell out. He could lose his magic or his life for the procedure, but the spell will kill him soon if he doesn't.
In a letter to Yuuri, he explains everything and the last Yuuri hears from him is that he loves him (because Viktor had to make sure he knows.)
Fast forward a while, maybe a month or two.
Yuuri's working at the inn still, sure that if Viktor died they'd have told him and that's what he's clinging to. His parents don't know everything, nor does Mari, but they try to support him however they can. He's angry sometimes. Depressed others.
One day he's working and someone runs in, saying a man got hit by a wagon? He's unconscious in the street and can they possibly bring him in here while the doctor comes?
Yuuri's family runs out to help, of course. Yuuri follows.
He sees Viktor unconscious on the floor a moment before he sees his mother reaching out her hand to touch him and as he screams for her not to, he sees that... she's okay.
Groggy, Viktor sits up, holds her arm as he does and Yuuri realizes the curse is broken. Viktor's free of it.
It cost him his magic, but... he's okay with that if it means he can be with Yuuri.
There's a lot of soft love, confessions, Viktor staying and living there (can't teach magic without magic, after all) with Makka at his side.
And they live happily ever after!!!
I hope you enjoyed uwu............

hi i read a classicist saying that in the Greek myths Helen never chose her husband, they said she didn’t chose Menelaus and she was raped and miserable but i can’t find a source for that? i thought Helen chose Menelaus as her husband when she was asked, didn’t she? is there any source for Helen hating Menelaus and being forced to marry him? I thought Menelaus was a good husband :c
EEEEEEE i wasnt gonna answer this. there's a lot of stuff here that i don't usually touch with a ten foot pole because i have no self control and am an opinionated asshole. THAT BEING SAID. i will give you .... the 'big three' traditions on how menelaus/helen came about and my own personal thoughts on them. why they work. why they don't. why i choose to .... follow certain ones and not others. okay? okay.
as i said, there are three BIG 'storylines' as to how menelaus and helen were coupled up, basically. they are fragmentary, they are not detailed. but they're all we have. or at least. they're the three you usually see playing out.
first is. HESIOD. and his CATALOGUE OF WOMEN. (all fragments). he says in fragment 68:
(ll. 11-15) ((lacuna) . . . and as many women skilled in blameless arts, each holding a golden bowl in her hands. And truly Castor and strong Polydeuces would have made him their brother perforce, but Agamemnon, being son-in-law to Tyndareus, wooed her for his brother Menelaus.
(ll. 21-27) And from Ithaca the sacred might of Odysseus, Laertes son, who knew many-fashioned wiles, sought her to wife. He never sent gifts for the sake of the neat-ankled maid, for he knew in his heart that golden-haired Menelaus would win, since he was greatest of the Achaeans in possessions and was ever sending messages to horse-taming Castor and prize-winning Polydeuces.
(ll. 52-54) . . . sought her to wife. And after golden-haired Menelaus he offered the greatest gifts of all the suitors, and very much he desired in his heart to be the husband of Argive Helen with the rich hair.
so this is a combination of the 'menelaus had the nicest shit and was picked either by helen's brothers or her father for her because they wanted nice stuff' and the 'menelaus?? wasnt even??? fucking there??? and aga did??? the flirting for him????' narratives.
i personally take issue with the 'menelaus gave the nicest gift and was chosen' narrative sIMPLY BECAUSE. why would he have the nice stuff?? it's agamemnon's. mycenae is agamemnon's kingdom. not menelaus'. the stuff??? not his. he is a couch-surfing-brother at the moment. he doesnt really have??? anything?? just a CONNECTION to aga. YES if he's picked for helen he will get sparta and all that good stuff. but at the time???? it wouldn't be his. i'm not saying aga wouldn't loan him this cool stuff to show off with, but compared to dio and ody and the others - he actually has nothing. just a brother with a kingdom. at least ody is a king and dio is set to inherit a lot when he comes of age. so this is out, personally for me.
i can honestly dig the 'aga flirts for menelaus' narrative though. that one always cracks me up and is not used enough. we don't know??? why menelaus isnt there??? and aga is??? even though aga is the one with the kingdom and THE JOB??? but it's just funny. just aga tryna hype up his baby bro to the most beautiful woman ever so she'll pick him. that's funny shit. i can dig this version.
next is APOLLODORUS. who doesn't give us much tbh. he just says:
[E.2.15] But the nurse took Agamemnon and Menelaus to Polyphides, lord of Sicyon, who again sent them to Oeneus, the Aetolian. Not long afterwards Tyndareus brought them back again .......... And they became the sons-in-law of Tyndareus by marrying his daughters, Agamemnon getting Clytaemnestra to wife ......... while Menelaus got Helen.
[E.2.16] ... And Menelaus married Helen and reigned over Sparta, Tyndareus having ceded the kingdom to him.
all this really adds is that menelaus becomes king because tyndareus steps down. he doesn't die. which i know a lot of people are '?????' by. but there's nothing here to emphasise how the marriage is arranged or goes down. which gives people a lot to play with. ig.
lastly. is HYGINUS. who says.
TYNDAREUS: Tyndareus, son of Oibalus, by Leda, daughter of Thestius, became father of Clytemnestra and Helen; he gave Clytemnestra in marriage to Agamemnon, son of Atreus. Because of her exceeding beauty many suitors from many states sought Helen in marriage. Tyndareus .... gave Helen leave to put a wreath on whomever she wished to marry. She put it on Menelaus, and Tyndareus gave her to him in marriage and at his death left him his kingdom.
and here is the 'helen chose menelaus' narrative. tyndareus left the choice to her and she put the wreath on his head. so, for this version he was there and it's never stated that she chose him because of his stuff??? (again he doesnt HAVE ANYTHING). so. we can assume she just??? liked him best. YES i am biased to menelaus/helen forever. i adore them. but even then THIS makes the most sense to me. it works with apollodorus' brief account too. and idk hesiod's just. doesn't make sense to me.
BUT these are three ancient accounts that we have. there is no ONE CANON. there is no 'this happened and this didn't' it's what tradition makes sense to you. i've tried to explain why i don't think hesiod's political spin on it would work, but for someone, it might.
in terms of her marriage being forced??? if she chose menelaus, clearly not. if her brothers or her father chose for her?? thats tricky. in the context of her time? helen would have known she would have to marry. she was a princess of a powerful kingdom. it just. would have been. its a tricky grey area.
i will say, though, in terms of her being 'raped and miserable' i do not know a source for that. again, you can interpret Certain Events as her being unhappy. she did leave with another man after all. but i think there's more TO it then that. a lot of events in the HCU are never black and white. and that's kinda the point??? they emphasise choice and fate and control and complexities of life and what we choose to do in it.
MY overall opinion? helen chose menelaus. and for a long time. she was happy. but menelaus is not without his baggage (you don't come out of the house of atreus unscathed). and that would put a strain on any relationship. and aphrodite and fate struck when that couple was at their most vulnerable. and it tore them apart. i dont think they ever stopped loving each other, though. i think deep down they always did and they needed certain events and time to realise it. i think there's a huge gap between the iliad and odyssey 4 in which they heal. they talk and they heal and they learn and they listen and they try to understand. it's why i scream about the menelaiad so much because john barth fills that gap. in a very beautiful and very human way. but he is a reception piece, so i respect not wanting to squeeze him into the narrative.
but this is just my thoughts. and i'm just a menelaus simp on tumblr so like.

Luz alphabets
Tumblr media
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)                                                    You'll never find someone more affectionate. She loves to cuddle and hug. She'll greet you with hugs whenever you come home. Though if you don't like physical affection she'll compliment you a bunch.
B = Best friend                                                                                                                                                                      10/10 as a best friend.  She is already super nice but as a best friend? Woo boy. She makes you a bunch of drawings. A bunch of random trinkets that made her think of you. And all around a pretty great friend.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)                                                                       I mentioned earlier she loves cuddling. She prefers being the little spoon.  But that's not to say she doesn't like being the big spoon.  It's a nice feeling either way.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)                        First of all yes she wants to settle down. Also, she's great at cleaning, your house (while not spotless) is pretty damn clean. Her cooking skills are ehhh. It tastes fine but it's nothing mind-blowing. But I don't want to end this on a bad note. So, she is so happy once you first start living together, it makes her ecstatic to be able to see you every day.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)                                      (Side note I always hate doing this one :(. ) She's very sad and can barely get it out. Despite being the one that broke up with you she's distressed for at least a week.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quickly would they want to get married?)                                                                                                                                                                               Very eager and responsible. She wants to get married a few years into the relationship but she makes sure to do it when you can afford to. Also when she knows you also want to so she doesn't put you in an awkward position. 
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)                                                       She would probably start crying if she hurt you in either way. Listen we already know she blames herself for like every little bad thing. So if she did end up hurting you in any way, even minor, she's probably more upset than you.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)                                Again I already mentioned this, but she's a sucker for hugs.  She attacks you with hugs. If she has a bad she'll hug you softly (which usually turns into cuddles.) Also, she gives you huge bear hugs if you have a bad day.
I = I love you (How fast do they the L-word?)                                                                                                          Fast-ish she says it a lot before you're dating. But once you start dating she sees it as much more special. It has a very different context so she wants the first time she says once you're official it to be super special. <3
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)                                    It takes a lot to make her jealous. And even when she is still pretty chill. She just joins whatever conversation you are in. She tends to be more talkative. Afterward, she tells you about her feelings. (Healthy communication? In a jealousy prompt? It's more likely than you think.)
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)                                                                                                                                                                                       I feel like her kisses are quick. Idk what really to say I don't think abt how characters kiss.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)                                                                                                immediately a big sister. I mean within minutes of Collector becoming a better person she was his big sister. She became King's big sister the millisecond she saw him. she's very nice and sweet to children.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)                                                                                            Very sweet and children's movie-esk. At least for the first few times. She makes you breakfast and all that. But soon she fell behind on that. But she still wakes you gently and nicely.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)                                                                                                          Sleepover! I feel like she likes to binge youtube horror movies with you. But you usually just end up laughing and joking about them.  Forces you to go to bed early <3.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)                                                                                                She reveals a lot of base-level things to you. But slowly she reveals bigger parts of herself and her life. Mainly when it comes up.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)                                                                                                           Not at all. It's a challenge to make her mad.  The only way to make her mad-mad is by hurting her, her friends, or her family.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing or do they kind of forget everything?)                                                                         She remembers a lot of little details about the big events you tell her. Though she forgets a lot of the stand-alone small things.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)                                                    Probably when you first got officially together.  it was such an overwhelming feeling of happiness when you first got together.  And when looking back on it, it gives a warm feeling of nostalgia. Like remembering old hangouts with friends you still have.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)                                                                                                                                                                          She trusts that you can protect yourself. That being said, she is protective of you. She just wants to make 110% sure that you're alright.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)             Dates she puts a lot of effort into planning, but besides that it's pretty standard. Gifts she usually thinks a lot before buying something, making sure it'll be something you'll like. And if she makes it she could put weeks into making even simple things. Everyday tasks are pretty normal. But anniversaries? Hoo boy, she pulls out all the stops. She gets new clothes, spends a shit ton of (Eda's) snails on a place, and is just super extravagant.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)                                                                                          After the events of Hollow Mind, she blames herself for everything. Her self-esteem is just really 😬 for a few months after Belos's death.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)                                                                                        She looks like a bisexual stereotype in every outfit. You take that as you will.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)                                                                                      Not really? She misses the hell out of you though. If you don't see each other for awhile she does start to feel off. Once you come back she covers you with kisses.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)                                                                                                                 She had multiple Azura fan blogs on Tumblr. If she was born earlier she would've been a total scene kid.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)                         As mentioned earlier she hates anyone who hurts her friends or family. If you don't like her friends or family (biological or not) she doesn't like you.
Z = Zzz (What is their sleep habits of theirs?)                                                                                                            When she plans to go to bed is super late but when she does is even later. She gets random bursts of motivation so she takes the opportunity. Which end up with her staying up an hour or two longer than she planned. This isn't me projecting btw (I'm a liar.)
A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them? She loves to tell you about Azura, wild magic, and really any one of her interests. Likewise, she loves to hear what you're passionate about. She may not understand a word you are saying but she is listening very closely. But if you share an interest? You guys can talk for hours.
B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?         It's hard for her to pick just one thing. But she really likes your eyes! No matter the color or size.
C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?          When you feel down she tries her whole 'healthy distraction' method.  If that fails or you don't want to she cuddles and lets you talk about what's wrong. If you're having a panic attack she helps you stabilize your breathing. And she helps you ground in ways that you.
D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?                                                                               She wants to explore and help the Boiling Isles but still have it be pretty chill. So while boiling isles and chill don't go together she could somehow make it work.
E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?                                                 This question makes me uncomfortable.
F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?                                                      She feels absolutely horrible. She avoids you for a while because she's worried you hate her. Though eventually, she herself can't take not seeing you and finally talks to you again. Both of you apologize and all that.
G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?                                             She is hyper-aware of what you're doing for her. So she takes every chance she gets to show how much she appreciates you.
H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?                                                        She doesn't try to but there are things she doesn't want you to know about her. But that's not just specific to you. (In conclusion, Belos ruins everything.)
I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?                                                                                          If she sees you picking up a new hobby she starts watching a bunch of tutorial videos about it. Next time she sees you doing said hobby she asks if you want any tips. She then starts saying all the tips she learned. Also, she tries to help you with personal problems, but she isn't always successful. But she tries to avoid A lot of her own problems so she's not always the best at that.
J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?                                                                     Already answered.
K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?                                                                                  Already answered.
L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?                                                She would sit down for hours thinking about how to make a jaw-dropping scene for a confession. Then ends up with the most cliche confession. She brings you to a beach and hits all the typical things to say with a confession. But it's obvious she's being sincere when she says them.
M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?                                                                                                                                                                                              I already answered the proposal question and the wanting to get married question. Being married to Luz would be pretty wholesome. As mentioned in the future question she just wants to chill with you. She would probably love to binge-watch shows with you.     
N icknames - What do they call their s/o?                                                                                                                     Hermosa/Hermoso, Sweetie, Honey, love.
O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?                                                                                                                                                     She kinda acts like the stereotypical "school girl" when she first gets a crush on you. Wild blushing, giggling at every and all. Though as we know all Y/N's are the most oblivious creatures known to man. It is painful to her that you don't see how much she loves you but also gives her time to prepare her confession.
P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?                                                                                 (Unless you're uncomfortable with it) She's not shy to show your guys love in public. Once you're out of earshot she goes on and on about how great you are. If you ever walked in on her rumblings she would die of embarrassment.
Q uirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship.                                              She is very nice and caring. I don't have much to say.
R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?                                                                                                                                                                     Yes. I've already mentioned how cliche she can be, but she adds her own spin on it. Like the confession thing she (acdeinlty) adds her own goofy touch on it.
S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?                                 I think I've made it abundantly clear that she does.
T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?                                                                                                                                                                  She likes routine! That routine just so happens to cation a lot of adventurous things. You can't have Luz without a love of adventure and high jinks.
U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?                                       She is very empathic. She makes sure you're always comfortable. And she loves learning more about you so she knows a lot about you.
V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it worth in comparison to other things in their life?                                                                                                                                                                It's one of if not the most important things in her life. There's almost nothing she wouldn't do for you <3.
W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.                                                                                                                      She used to buy anything with a space theme. She loves concerts a lot.              
X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?                                                            Already answered.
Y earning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?                                                               If you've been gone for a while she draws you a lot. And probably sends you a bunch of text messages.
Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?                          There's little she wouldn't do for you. You've done so much for her and she wants you to know how much she loves you.

Idk if you do more than 1 character or not, sorry.
I’d like to request how Mikan, Maki, and Mahiru deal with an Male S/O that has a DISTURBINGLY high pain tolerance and cares VERY little whenever he gets wounded. Here, some examples. Stabbed through the hand? His face went: 🗿. Elbow laying on a hot ass stove? He’ll realize his elbow is burning and take it off but bro’s face really just went: 🗿. It’s honestly crazy how jit ain’t dead yet
If you don’t do more than 1 than I’ll request that you can at least do the HCs for Mikan please. Have a nice Day/Afternoon/Evening/Night
A/N: Thanks for the request!
Mikan, Maki, and Mahiru x M! Reader with a high pain tolerance
Mikan:
Bro she is literally screeching when you burn your elbow.
She immediately reaches for like 93 bandages and starts crying until she notices that your face is completely blank.
"A-Are you okay? Wh-why is your face so..c-calm?"
You'd probably have to explain to her about your pain tolerance.
But regardless she'd fight you about it.
"B-But you need to take care of yourself! You m-might get a scar! I-I-I would never forgive myself.."
She would be so sad if you didn't let her take care of you.
So I suggest letting her.
Maki:
She's probably already really scared of hurting you, being the ultimate assassin and all.
I imagine you would be helping her train, and she would accidentally throw her knife and miss-hitting your hand.
She'd definitely panic and instantly start apologizing and trying to find bandages or sum, but when she sees your face she's probably like "the fuck?"
She is so caring, she'd probably force you to sleep and rest, and she might just force an entire cast on your arm if you don't lay down.
She really loves you and hates the idea of hurting you.
She'd be kissing your hand and your bandages, because she genuinely cannot deal with how bad she feels.
Mahiru:
She is screaming and shouting, crying and other extreme emotions.
She loves you so much, she probably started saying it was her fault even though it had nothing to do with her.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! HOLY CRAP, WHAT THE HECK, ARE YOU OKAY????????"
When you tell her you're fine, she probably explodes (emotionally) and yells at you for not actually taking care of yourself.
She'll take you to Mikan and ask her to patch you up, then make you some really good homemade fucking food and serve it to you.
When you thank her for it, she'll get all shy and bashful.
Overall, they definitely care about you tons!
Thanks again for the ask! I love the idea!

specific bg3 headcanon rattling in my brain: how the party makes eden take a break.
eden overworks himself very easily, often to the detriment of his own physical and mental wellbeing. if he takes care of everything, every*one*, then it'll all work out. who cares if he burns himself out if he gets the job done?
(his friends care. his friends care a lot.)
and so, with time, the party develops a system for getting eden to take a break from his work, to destress and let them take care of him.
first, astarion goes to find eden and distract him by starting an argument with him, usually about something incredibly stupid and low-stakes where eden's definitely in the right, because eden loves telling people when they're wrong. if this doesn't work at first, shadowheart joins in by bringing up some stupid specific discourse about spellcasting. again, something eden is right about, but they won't back down on.
the goal is to pull him away long enough that they can lead him over to the fire, away from the scrolls he's been squinting at for hours. there, gale's already been cooking and made a nice meal for eden, making sure to give him a big portion b/c they KNOW he hasn't eaten in a while.
then, astarion and/or shadowheart suddenly drop the argument and concede that eden is correct, haha, they're just being silly :) omg wow while we're here, are you hungry??? i bet you're hungry. why don't we get you a bowl? and gale hands him his bowl of food right on cue.
then, wyll invites eden to sit with him so they can eat together, and generally eden will do so. but, sometimes, he'll seem reluctant or say he needs to get back to work. this is important. it can't wait.
so, then lae'zel reminds him that he needs to rest for at least some time--after all, he'll be much more effective in planning and in combat if he's slept. she's logical and to the point in a way that makes it clear he doesn't have a say in whether or not he's taking a break right now. and if he *still* seems reluctant, she'll tell him gently but firmly that she'll take care of it for now, and then go do that before he can protest.
(as she passes eden, she lightly bumps her head against his in an affectionate gesture, nudging him to sit next to wyll as he does.)
then, they get eden to cuddle up with wyll, and immediately gale (or astarion, depending on the day) swoops in on his other side, boxing him in and making sure he is *cozy* (and that he can't sneak away once he's done eating).
karlach puts a blanket around the three of them and ruffles eden's hair, telling him in a teasing voice that he'd better get some sleep tonight!! or he's gonna fry his brain looking at all those scrolls. she continues to distract him, striking up a conversation to keep him engaged and distracted, so he won't think about work.
from there, sometimes halsin comes in behind the trio to rub eden's sore, stiff shoulders, maybe using a little healing magic to soothe his chronic pain (which tends to flare up when he's stressed and overworked). and sometimes, shadowheart will also use a little magic to nudge eden into actually sleeping once he's done eating.
the exact roles are flexible and can change depending on the specific situation, but just. they have a system. they will get him to rest.
