#GIVE YOU MY SOUL

[p0pscenez]

I think damon wants to give you his soul but idk...

[allbark-littlebite]

Screaming. Crying. Throwing up.

Did I just binge read this entire thing? Yes. Did I love ever word of it? Absolutely!

You, my wonderful author, are a miracle worker. This is hands down one of the best goddamn things I've ever read in my entire life. It had everything I could possibly hope for in a fic! A Price and Kyle fatherly relationship, the best characterization of Valeria I've ever seen, COOK RUDY, Konig, singer Farah, AND ROACH! I COULD KISS YOU FOR ROACH ALONE! MY FAVORITE BOY DOSEN'T GET ENOUGH ATTENTION!!

I hope all the stoplights you pass are green, and I hope both sides of your pillows are cold tonight. You are a wonderful, magnificent person and I can't thank you enough for putting so much time and dedication into a fic like this. I want to make you your favorite cookies for the next year. I love you so freaking much😚🩷🩷🩷🫂🫂

prologue

You’ve never been inside the famous club, The 141.

i. it's a new day, it's a new life

This isn’t where you expected to end up—stuck in some rundown motel with nothing but the clothes on your back.

ii. a collection of strangers (a series of secrets)

You can only describe them the same way you can the rest of the club’s workers—stunning.

iii. no proof except my silver tongue

You’ve never been to this side of town at night.

iv. the night was young (and so were we)

Surveying the competition turns out to be code for going on a club crawl and getting obscenely drunk.

v. she works hard for the money (so you better treat her right)

You don’t know what to expect from shopping with Valeria.

vi. would you give the devil this dance

You can’t let yourself be haunted by your past forever, and, unsure as you are, you know one thing to be true: You’ve never felt safer than you do around him.

vii. wise men say, only fools rush in

In the following weeks, you learn one very important thing: John Price is a relentless flirt.

viii. but i can't help failing in love with you

You don’t know how you feel as you kiss him. It’s a combination of emotions you haven’t felt in so long: relief, desire, comfort, joy. They all swirl together into the one emotion you’ve been chasing since your wedding. Safe.

ix. the rumor burned straight through the town (and as it grew, so did her vow)

Kyle doesn’t think much of you the day you first walk into the club.

x. everybody thought the truth had been caught (her reputation began to drown)

You haven’t looked at your wedding photo in years.

xi. screaming birds sound an awful lot like singing

Everything you’ve experienced in the past four months pales in comparison to how your heart shatters at this moment.

xii. it won't cost you much (just a single drop of blood)

Who knew rock bottom looked like standing before a wall of mirrors in a bespoke wedding gown?

xiii. little girl gone

You’re shocked into consciousness, startling awake in a pile of plush blankets and cloud-soft pillows.

xiv. nothing makes me weak now (you better run for your life)

The news of Price’s arrest—of your alleged murder—sends you into a state of shock.

xv. won't forgive what you did (i've never hurt anyone, now it's time)

They float somewhere between too compliant and too afraid, like they’re scared you may snap at any given moment. Whether they worry it’ll be in anger or anguish, you don’t know. Price is the worst of them all.

xvi. what you'll see is the worst me (I will ask you for mercy)

The nights are the hardest.

xvii. for if i'm going down i guess i'll take you with me

By the end of the week, the plan is set.

xviii. i'm free darlin' (i revenge, i revenge)

Your world is engulfed in fire and blood.

epilogue.

I don't care how excited it might make some people, I don't like this remake

[turbo-virgins]

Low key very tired of people responding to veilguard criticism with something along the lines of “lol these people have no media literacy, didn’t you understand what the game was telling you??” Yes, yes I understand what the game was trying to tell me. That doesn’t mean I have to like it or the way the writers went about it.

Also the whole argument of “well, the dragon age fandom proved they couldn’t handle xyz controversial character/element of the story so that’s why veilguard had very little references to those things” kinda grinds my gears a bit. I don’t think it can be proven with 100% certainty what writing decisions were made based on past fandom reactions to the other games, but I do think it would be an incredibly shitty move to simplify or remove complexity from a story just because there might be a portion of the audience who doesn’t get it. “The fandom couldn’t even handle Vivienne” Yeah a good amount of people dismissed her as a selfish snooty bitch, but I didn’t and a lot of other people didn’t and to remove complex and interesting characters like her on the basis that enough people “won’t get it” just feels like a disservice to all of us.

Dissociated and we got a whole canvas of my fav

[starscream-is-my-wife]

Ik it's a bit early but I can't believe it's been almost one year since this post

Btw yeah its real

[luvingsolace]

What’s crazy is that Nico di Angelo is one of the kindest characters in the whole riordanverse but talking about it or portraying that part of him is considered a sin by the general fandom…

[cupidsncheerios]

i hate most of those 'vox owns alastor's soul' aus because alastor is unphotographable, asexual, and wouldn't know a jpeg file from a usb drive. he would be USELESS in vtower.

however, yknow who would be a good thrall? vox is already pr-trained, would know a transatlantic accent, and is technologically gifted enough that running a radio show would be easy as pie for him.

the main problem is how annoying he'd be about it.

"and now to my costar vox with stocks updates!"

"yeah hi. vox here. tv guy vox. the guy with the tv for a head. i'm a tv, if you forgot. yesterday the stocks for radio went down by 2% because radio is irrelevant and bad. tv stocks went up by 11% though. hey did you know my head is a tv by the w-"

Every day I wish GRRM would quit writing about Targaryens and start writing about the history of the Starks. You’re telling me they have 8000 years of history, stretching back to the First Men, and you want to focus on the dragon people? Give me more of the Starks. The war with the Children of the Forest, the Wall, “there must always be a Stark in Winterfell” I want so much more of them

[hyacinthsdiamonds]

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️

Based on all the dramas I've seen, the most dangerous place to be in the jianghu, perhaps in the whole three realms and four continents, is at a wedding.

[juniemunie]

If we're not giving up, don't give up wherever you are.

That's a promise.

[kunikiiida-kuuun]

The cutest detail I never got over in this panel is that Ranpo pictures Kunikida in his mind with the softest smile on his face. (the guy who always has a serious expression and RARELY smiles) !!!

[bunnymadeofstardust]

I don't see enough of them.
