Give me a Reason: Chapter 20 -"All Eyes on Me"

When Uzi sat down in her homeroom the next morning, it was like trying to wade through thick oil. She'd gotten three hours of sleep, tops. And it showed.

She was dazed and paying even less attention then usual, her eyes felt like lead and everything felt varying degrees of tingly, not to mention her side still hurt dully.

“Where's your boyfriend?” Came from the person sitting in front of her, “Isn't he normally here by now?”

Uzi blinked confusedly, her brain misfiring several times before the sentence processed correctly.

“Who?”

“The guy who always sits next to you? He is your boyfriend, Right?”

Holy flying fuck, she was talking about N.

“N? No! He's not my boyfriend! We're just freinds!” Her voice raised almost immediately, where the hell was that coming from?

“Really? Huh…” The girl turned back around, going back to being an unimportant background character and Uzi continued to blink in confusion.

Her and N? Yeah, they'd been talking, they were freinds. Definitely, but there wasn't any reason anyone would assume they're dating.

Speaking of the golden boy, he walked in, shuffling a bit like a zombie and sitting in his seat with a half smile, his hair being a touch more messy then usual.

“Oh my god, you look like a wreak dude…” She laughed at his disheveled appearance, and he responded with a much more tired version of his signature smile.

“Haha! That's okay! I was talking to you!” He assured. “That's worth some sleepiness.”

Her heart fluttered again, warmth flooding her cheeks before both dissipated quickly.

“Ew. Consideration.”

N laughed quietly. “Is that also gay?” He lifted an eyebow with a slightly smug look.

She snorted, having to cover her mouth to stop from being too loud, the word leaving his mouth catching her completely off gaurd.

She giggled like a schoolgirl “Yes, absolutely.”

“Darn.” He giggled as well. “Can't escape it.”

When Mr. Brown started speaking, they both turned to the front, though Uzi wasn't really paying attention, instead looking down and scrolling through social media.

When she came across a video.

A video she was in.

It was of yesterday, at the end of the day, where'd she'd passed out and N had apparently caught her.

Yeah, he definitely did. And then proceeded to lift her effortlessly in a princess carry and lovingly check her for injuries, before gently setting her in the car like she was made of glass.

It was the caption that sold it though.

Get you a man that treats you like this!

It was like several of her worst nightmares getting together and having an abomination of a child.

The worst part, it had several thousand views. Meaning most- if not the entire school had seen it.

She scrolled through the comments obsessively.

Hope she's okay!

Lucky Girl! He's hot!

Ew, those piercings don't suit her. He can do better.

Goth GF! Goth GF!

She found herself frowning, most of the comments were fine, wishing “the goth girl" well. But some were jabs on her appearance, and those always seemed to be louder.

“Uzi? Uziiii?” N's voice brought her out of her thoughts, cocking his head worridly. “You good? You've kinda been staring at your phone.”

“I-I’m fine. You weren't talking to me were you?”

“I asked how you were feeling. Any pain?” He smiled softly, eyes filled with care. Tingles prickled up her neck once more.

“Meh… it's better.” She said honestly, just as the bell rang and they had to part ways, he looked a little sad at that.

“Take it easy today! See you in English!” He gave another goofy salute before grabbing his bag and running off to his next class.

She smiled, returning it with a goofy little two fingered salute of her own. When she looked around though… people were looking at her, with sly grins and smiles of knowledge they thought they had.

The smile was quickly demolished in the face of this unwanted attention, and she pulled her beanie tighter against her head as she walked out… feeling eyes on her back.

I've been loving all the fan content I've seen for Murder Drones lately, and while I sadly can't draw, I can make memes.

So, here's a little something for @dronebiscuitbat. Keep up the good work.

[ragana62]

My favorite thing about this new fic I'm working on is that I get to write a very confused and grumpy Corlys who has no idea why Rhaenys wants to spend more time with her dragon than him, but he's definitely not upset about it or taking it personally at all, obviously. Which of course means I'm going to have a good excuse to rewatch Pride and Prejudice a lot...

Anyway, Ophiuchus is happening sooner than later because this is what my brain wants to write, though this snippet will come later.

Corlys accidentally rediscovers sea dragons, Rhaenys has to marry him because obviously her grandfather is not going to take someone else randomly getting dragons in Westeros lying down, it's a whole slowburn mess full of even messier politics and I'm loving playing with it. And Thea the ship's cat makes an appearance.

Let me know if you want to listen to me rant more about this plunny that has taken full control of my brain for the time being, or for that matter to be tagged when I start posting actual chapters. I can absolutely rant more. I really want to rant more.

I’ve been crying for 30 minutes help

[frostybearpaws]

ya know

I just gotta say I’m not really vibing with SNW’s gorn hatred. The show runners are trying to paint them as this Ultimate Evil creature. SNW has established that Gorn are asexual (?) parasitoids. But it’s so surface level, they’re being boiled down to horror movie monsters and that’s kind of getting old. I want at least SOME questions to be answered. There’s so many that this show has raised and then just left to hang. But most of all I want to know the WHY behind their actions. It would add perspective and a much needed depth to gorn world building.

What the gorn are doing IS monstrous. But the gorn themselves are not pure evil (as much as the show runners want us to think they are). Similar to what Neera said to La’an, they’re individuals with the capacity to do good or bad things.

Currently they’re doing a bad thing, now SNW tell me WHY?

[lover-of-mine]

why WHY wHy WhY why WHY is the sky blue behind Eddie but not behind Buck????????????? I need someone to give me an explanation. I understand multiple takes and all that but like, the difference is too blatant, and coloring this scene is hell, particularly Buck, so I'm inclined there's some kind of filter to achieve the atmosphere they were going for here but why did it involve a white sky behind Buck????????????

[annoyinglyyyloving]

The way I have so many drawings for these?? And there's still more?? Take my pen away :D

Give me a Reason: Chapter 17 - "Thad"

Computer Literacy was blessedly easy at least, she thought as she stumbled into the classroom, taking a steadying breath.

Her eyes almost automatically glanced up at N, who had nearly always given her a wave when he saw her enter, though today it looked like he was completely absorbed in conversation with someone else, a boy in a red backwards hat, brown peeking out from underneath it. Who was leaning on the back of her usual seat with his arms crossed.

She warily approached, was she going to have to find somewhere else to sit? There were a couple of others still free but, her and N were partners, how would they still work together?

She ignored the second train of thought, the one that was making her heart ache slightly at the prospect of having to go elsewhere, bring replaced by a more interesting friend so easily.

But, she didn't even have time to question it before N noticed her, and he gave her a radiant smile. “Hey Uzi! Sorry Thad, that's her seat your leaning on.”

The boy looked back at her, his eyes a dull green, like grass that had been shocked with weedkiller. A sports jacket clung to his shoulders, ‘Copper Football Team’ emblazoned on the front in yellow letters.

“Oh Hey, I'm Thad, sorry for taking your seat.” He moved off the back of her chair, dunking his hands in his pockets as he smiled, it was friendly, not as bright as N's but still warm and inviting.

“It's… fine.” She said awkwardly, in no real mood to socialize with the pain in her side.

“N said you two went ghost hunting last weekend. It's Gnarly, you two are braver then I am. I still get scared by the raccoon that lives under my house.”

Uzi blinked, taking a moment to register that she was being talked to, and a second more for her to realize it wasn't negative.

“Oh uh- Yeah, we did.” Uzi replied after a moment of struggling to bend down to put her backpack under the table, she didn't catch the way N looked at her worried lying when she flinched. “I wouldn't call N brave though, he got scared of an itty bitty spider, hehehe.”

“Hey!” N protested, pouting but not in a way that suggested he was actually upset.

“Aw she exposed you dude!” Thad laughed, but his attention was quickly back on her. “You're Uzi right? N mentioned your name, it's super badass. I wish I shared my name with a gun.”

Uzi felt herself blush, still not used to being complimented. And she couldn't really find the words to say to it either.

“I don't think Thad's a bad name.” N came to her rescue, thankfully. And Thad looked at him deadpan.

“When you find any character named “Thaddeus McFlynn” who isn't just in the background, or doesn't die a horrible death. Let me know.”

Uzi winced, man had a name like an old british man. She didn't envy him. N just shrugged.

“Anyway, I gotta get back to class, coach will chew my ass if I'm gone too long, I just came here to pick up his prints.” He picked up a stack of what looked like sign up papers, and turned back at N.

“Hey, I'm serious about signing up for one of our teams, you'd be great!” Thad gave him a finger gun and Uzi a small salute before he left the classroom, Uzi watching as he left.

N didn't really reply to that, just looked a little sad before shaking his head and returning all his attention to Uzi.

“Sorry about that. He was talking about me joining the basketball team since I'm so tall, then we somehow got onto what we did over the weekend and… yeah.” He rambled, but Uzi just nodded softly, it wasn't like she was expecting to remain N's only freind or anything, not with his personality. It's what she expected… honestly.

“It's fine.” How much had she said that today? It felt like a lot, her side throbbed uncomfortably as she tried to adjust.

“Hey uh. I know you told me to stop asking. And I promise I totally am, but… are you okay, you've looked uncomfortable all day.” He spoke up again after a second, and Uzi felt every single muscle in her body tense up, she was fine. She'd been through worse, way worse.

She turned to glare at him, words of vitriol bubbling up in her throat, but she only halfway opened her mouth before his soft, warm expression made them die into nothing, a gentle smile worn on his face and genuine concern behind those caramel eyes.

She sighed.

“I'm fine, really, just… had a run in with someone. I've been through worse.”

“Oh… well um…” N really didn't know how to help, that answer was… vague at best. But he didn't want to scare her off from opening up more by pushing her. “Do you wanna talk about it?”

She looked at him for a beat, taking in his nervous smile.

“No.” She replied simply, and the window he'd had was abruptly shut in his face. His smile fell a little.

“You can keep distracting me though. That's helping.” She added after a minute, and his head snapped back up, she was avoiding his eyes, but he caught a small smile gracing her face.

And with another brilliant smile, thats what he did, dragging her into a conversation about dogs that she did her best to listen intently to, the pain being slightly buried under the weight of his voice.

When it was finally time to go home, Uzi was bracing herself on one of the brick pillars in front of the building, knowing all she needed was to walk home and she could treat herself with some sweet, sweet painkillers. It was just… actually getting there that was going to be the difficult part.

It wasn't that far away, but with how difficult walking had become, she knew it was going to be complete and total agnoy. Stalling, she was stalling.

What were the chances of her dad actually being home for once to drive her back? Probably slim to none, but… she could check.

She pulled out her phone, Khan being the first name in her contacts, the second, and last, being N.

Uzi: Hey Dad, just wondering if u could pick me up from school today.

She stared at the messaging app for almost a full minute with no response before she grumbled, leaning against the brick and closing her eyes for a moment.

When she did eventually bring her head back up, she realized that she'd been standing against the pillar for way too long, the second wave of busses already on their way out, meaning she'd been there for at least ten minutes.

Maybe she was in more pain than she thought…

“Uzi?” A voice caught her attention, and she spun around to be face to face with N's stupidly tall figure, Thad was right… he would be good for basketball.

She was starting to feel warm, and slightly nauseous, neither were any good signs, bit both she ignored.

“O-oh hey N.” Shit, her voice was a little shaky now too, she placed a palm onto the brick behind her, feeling a bit like she might pass out. Crap, that probably meant Lizzy pinched something in her somewhere, that was great.

“I thought you would've left already. Don't you walk home?” One of his brows were raised, he looked behind her, Tessa had pulled in and was waiting for him.

“Just… enjoying the day…?”

“Why did that sound like a question?” He asked, clearly not believing her in the slightest. Uzi blinked, trying to stifle the painful tremble in her voice.

“It didn't.” She tried, trying to begin to walk away, only to stumble and nearly trip over nothing.

Fuck

“Woah hey! Uzi!” His hands were on her now, she didn't want them to be, she didn't want to be seen as weak, but her stupid body had at this point completely betrayed her, she felt the bile begin to burn it's way into her throat.

Oh shit not he-

She scrambled over to the nearest bush, throwing his hands off her and completely emptied her bruised stomach, holding onto one of those weird round concrete nubs for support.

When she finished, she shakily stood up, wiping her mouth, a small amount of blood coming off onto the back of her hand.

Still… she did feel marginally better.

N was behind her, looking between Tessa's car and her franticly, a hand gently resting on her back. She tried to catch her breath.

She heard a car door slam and rushing footsteps coming her direction before light invaded her vision

I'm about to pass out…

She thought before she felt herself begin to slowly fall backwards, before all her senses went to static…

A very important HOTD Headcanon

I can’t fall back asleep, and my cat is trying and failing to help with that, so guess what, we’re all getting treated to a series of fluffy little HOTD headcanons based on one unified theory.

Corlys Velaryon is absolutely a cat guy. I’ll expand below the break.

Ships cats are a very important and useful thing to have to control rodent/other pest populations, and we know it’s canon that the man was very involved in the maintenance of his ships and spent a lot of time on board them. There is absolutely a cat on The Sea Snake, and it’s definitely something like the seventh generation on from a scrawny little kitten he found near the docks when he was getting ready to sail with his uncle that first voyage to Pentos as a young boy.

This of course has led to a number of moments over the years where he has responded to his wife and children and their fascination and adoration for their dragons by bringing his cat home and having little cloaks made for her (I’m declaring it’s a her, her name is Thea now) and making snarky little comments about how his mighty beast is a far better hunter than theirs AND can still fit inside High Tide (a comment he very much regretted once a young Laenor and Laena took that as a challenge and tried to sneak baby Seasmoke into the house).

Rhaenys finds all of this absolutely hilarious, and does try and steal the cat’s cloaks and the like to embroider little wings onto them so she can tease her husband about finally understanding them and having a dragon of his own. The children did take this literally, which has led to several consecutive generations of ship’s cats aboard the Sea Snake being trained to respond to similar commands as their dragons, assuming they feel like it anyway, much to his sailors’ amusement.

Corlys responds to this affront to his beloved beast’s dignity by making up bullshit titles to confer upon his cat. If Meleys can be ‘The Red Queen’ then Thea can be ‘Lady Protector of the Sea Snake’. The first time he said that, Rhaenys exiled the cat from their bedroom for two weeks in mock jealousy. This ban was only lifted after he found the both of them curled up together for an afternoon nap and she was forced to admit that she didn’t actually hate the cat.

He regretted forcing the issue when she insisted on introducing Thea to Meleys as she had the children when they were babies because ‘you’re the one who said she’s an important member of our household, this is what we do for important members of our household’. Thea and Meleys don’t fully get one another, but in the grand tradition of cats everywhere, Thea does respect the very large spiky cat for being a skilled hunter and good protector of her little colony. Meleys decided Thea is just a hatchling who refuses to grow and out of concern began trying to bring her fish and sheep carcasses to help, in case she was just too small to hunt successfully on her own.

If this gets even one like, I’ll probably draw Corlys and Thea, baby Corlys and Thea I (because they are all named Thea now, it’s tradition), Laenor and Laena sneaking baby Seasmoke into the house under a cloak, Thea and her little cloak with the embroidered wings and a far too fancy pin to denote her rank aboard the Sea Snake, Thea and Meleys, all the bullshit really, because honestly the idea is kind of a whole mood. Thea might be making an appearance in my HOTD fics now.
