I want to hug Hector, prince of Troy. Have I read much of the Iliad? No. Was that one scene I read in book 6 where he's looking around Troy for his son and wife enough to make me forgive him for (almost) everything he has done and will do? Yes. When I read him praying to Zeus to have his son grow up to be a better man than him, knowing that he would probably die soon, I also died.

Note
First Hector lost his maturity in general
Then his agency to Carmilla
Then his dignity to Lenore
Then his character arc to Isaac
Finally, he lost his profession to a machine
I guess the last one could be commentary on how AI is robbing people of their jobs?
At least the last one applies to N!Isaac too <3 ... but I can't even be happy because the Devil Forging Machine is clearly inferior to the Devil Forgemasters. Which is to be expected. I mean. It's a devil forging machine it's so fucking stupid--
But yeah, even if I only knew the show, Hector's character was just completely wasted for petty reasons. You can just feel the sadism seeping through the script :\

SOOTHING EMBRACE // H.FORT

request: can u write hector comforting sick reader?? (if u want)
genre: comfort, fluff
warnings: none
words: 1456
a/n: i hope having your period counts as sick because it does to me, cramps hurt like a bitch 👹
Hector stepped into the house, his heart beating from the excitement of the game. His cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were sparkling with adrenaline.
He had scored the winning goal, and that alone made his day. But his thoughts quickly turned to you. He couldn't wait to see your reaction to the news, to hear your words of excitement, and see your face light up.
"I'm home baby!" He called out, dropping his duffle bag on the floor and looking around for you. He could practically hear your response in his head already - the way you'd jump up from the couch, rush over to him with a huge smile on your face. He couldn't help but smile himself at the thought.
He frowned at the lack of response, noticing the silent atmosphere of the house. Hector's excitement started to dim slightly, replaced by worry. He called out your name, walking into the living room, his footsteps soft against the hardwood floor.
When he saw you curled up on the couch, he immediately knew something was wrong.
He knelt beside the couch, his hand gently touching your shoulder, "Hey cariño, what's going on? Are you okay?" He asked, his voice filled with concern. Hector's eyes scanned your face, taking in every tiny detail. He could tell that you were in pain, and he wanted nothing more than to soothe it away.
Your expression contorted into a grimace, and you let out a soft whimper. Hector felt a pang in his chest at the sound. He knew exactly what was going on. He had seen you like this before, and it broke his heart every time. He reached out to brush a strand of hair away from your forehead.
Hector couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He had checked the app on his phone earlier that day, knowing that your period was due soon. He had been planning to go out and buy some of your favourite snacks and maybe some painkillers to help ease your discomfort.
But it seemed like he had underestimated the power of your monthly cycle. He let out a small sigh, silently cursing himself for not being more prepared.
You could sense the change in his mood. You knew that Hector must have felt so excited after the game, but your current condition prevented you from matching his enthusiasm. However, even in your state, you still wanted to show him some support.
You mustered the strength to sit up a little and open your arms towards Hector, a faint smile on your lips. "Did you really think I'd miss your match? I watched you play, and I couldn't be prouder of you," you said, your voice laced with a mixture of affection and regret. "I'm sorry I can't celebrate with you right now."
You pulled him closer and pressed a soft kiss onto his lips, the pain momentarily forgotten. "But if you're free tomorrow, maybe we can do something special to make up for it."
Hector's face softened as he listened to your words, his heart warming at your support and understanding. Even in your current condition, you still thought of him and wanted to celebrate his victory. Hector couldn't help but smile, feeling a wave of gratitude wash over him.
He leaned into your touch, his hands finding your waist as he rested his forehead against yours. "Of course I'm free tomorrow," he said, his voice low and warm. "We'll do something special, I promise. You just focus on resting now."
He leaned down and brushed a gentle kiss against your forehead, his fingers lightly tracing your hip in a soothing gesture. "You don't need to worry about anything, cariño. Just let me take care of you."
He pulled back slightly, a thought suddenly crossing his mind. "Wait here," he said, his eyes flickering with determination.
Hector then got up from the couch and moved towards the kitchen, leaving you sitting there feeling slightly confused and curious. You could hear him rummaging through the cabinets, the sound of bowls and spoons clinking together. After a few moments, he returned with a steaming mug in his hand and a small plate filled with chocolate chip cookies.
"I know these are your favourite," he said, his voice soft as he placed the items down on the coffee table in front of you. He then went back to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water and a bottle of ibuprofen. "And these will help with the pain," he added, holding them out for you to take.
You couldn't help but feel a warm glow in your chest at his thoughtfulness. Even though his excitement about the game had been dampened by your pain, he was still looking out for you and taking care of you. You took the water and the painkillers with a grateful smile, feeling the love and care that Hector was showing you.
Your eyes began to well up with tears, a mix of emotions swelling within you. Part of you wanted to blame it on the usual mood swings that came with your period, but a bigger part of you knew that it was because of him. Hector was so sweet and thoughtful, always taking care of you, even in your most vulnerable moments.
You fought back the tears, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love for him. "You're so good to me," you choked out, your voice cracking slightly.
Hector chuckled at your state, his eyes dancing with mischief. He was about to open his mouth to tease you, but before he could say anything, you swatted him lightly in the chest.
"Hey!" he exclaimed, a hint of amusement still in his voice. "You're just so adorable, baby."
You hid your face in his chest, feeling embarrassed by your current state. "It's embarrassing enough as it is, don't make it worse," you mumbled, your voice muffled against his shirt.
Hector chuckled again, unable to resist leaning down to press a kiss to the top of your head.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. Our secret," he whispered, his breath warm against your ear.
He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you closer into him. "You know I love you, right?"
You felt his hands gently rubbing your back, offering you comfort and reassurance.
You looked up from your hiding place in his chest, your eyes meeting his. "I know," you mumbled, a small smile tugging at the corners of your lips. "I love you too, Hector."
You buried your face in his chest once again, feeling the steady beat of his heart against your cheek. His presence alone was enough to soothe your pain and make you feel loved and cared for.
The dull ache in your abdomen seemed to intensify suddenly, causing you to grimace and let out a low grunt of pain. Hector, being as attentive as ever, immediately noticed your discomfort.
"Does it hurt more baby?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
Hector quickly devised a solution. He shifted you so that you were sitting between his legs, your back against his chest. He then placed his hands on your abdomen, applying gentle but firm pressure.
You could feel his fingers working their magic, massaging your stomach in small, circular motions. The pressure was just the right amount, enough to ease the pain and give you some relief.
As he continued to massage you, you leaned back against his chest, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breathing.
You placed your own hands on top of his. You intertwine your fingers together, lightly caressing his knuckles as a sign of thanks.
You then turn your head, facing him to the side, and gently press a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you," you murmur, your voice barely above a whisper. "You always know how to make it better."
Hector smiles at your gesture of gratitude, his heart swelling with affection.
"Anything for you, baby," he replies, his voice low and gentle.
He tightens his arms around you, pulling you into a comfortable embrace. He plants a few light kisses on your neck, his lips moving against your skin in a soothing manner.
As he massages you, he can’t help but nuzzle his face into your hair, inhaling your scent and relishing the closeness.
Your free hand reaches out, gently touching his face. You run your fingertips over his features, tracing the lines of his cheekbones and the curve of his jaw.
He leans into your touch, his eyes closed and a soft smile on his lips. He turns his head slightly, pressing his lips to the palm of your hand in a soft kiss.
"Estoy aquí, para ti." (i'm here for you)

Yandere platonic omega father x neglected child reader PT 5
Wedding. Wedding. Marriage
Honestly, Rowan doesn't know when he started to despise the word and everything it means
There was a time, many years ago, when that word brought butterflies to his stomach. At that time, he and that man were deeply in love (or at least that's what he thinks). He still remembers the bells ringing in the background as he gently held his beloved.
If someone had said at that time that he would come to deeply hate the man who was kissing him so softly in front of the church altar, he wouldn't have believed it. He would have laughed, laughed out loud even thinking about this impossible possibility.
But well, life was unpredictable and the impossible becomes possible every day, every moment, for anyone.
He didn't notice the first signs, or rather, he didn't want to notice them. The way Hector wrinkled his nose in disgust around you, the way he seemed indifferent to you, how your crying always seemed to arouse annoyance and never concern.
It was ironic how Hector could be so loving and maternal with the neighbors' babies but was so cold to you at home, he almost never held you and seemed ashamed to say you were a beta
Rowan remembers the first sign that something was wrong, the day of your birth, for months the two of you created expectations and dreams about you, anxiously waiting for the day you would say hello to the world, Rowan remembers that day well, the wonderful where everything started to go wrong day of your birth
Rowan was holding you so tenderly in his arms, he remembers well the look of love in Hector's eyes when he asked to hold you, as soon as he held you it seemed like all the love just disappeared
Hector panicked, started screaming about you not being his baby, he screamed about you being defective and he flailed in panic so suddenly that I almost broke your fragile neck
It was necessary for Hector to be sedated, the nurses said that it is a very normal reaction, the omega instincts are not initially capable of picking up beta pups, initially accepting only omega and alpha pups
The lack of an omega pup's scent makes them anxious
hearing this did not reassure Rowan, in fact it made him more worried, this was his pup, they loved this pup for months and now his mate almost killed him, his mate was not trustworthy with the pup
The only thing superior to the bond of an alpha with his mate was the bond of an alpha with his pup, without him knowing or realizing that day the first seeds of doubt and hatred were born in his heart
Since that day Hector was no longer trustworthy with you, every time the two of you interacted Rowan was just one step behind
afraid that you would be released from your omega father's arms and fall to the ground
He tried his best to ease motherhood, he paid a nanny to take care of you, all Hector had to do was breastfeed you and give you some love in the morning and afternoon that good-for-nothing wasn't even capable of that, at night your care was exclusively his
He doesn't remember when the love cooled down but he remembers exactly what was the trigger that broke the marital cord that united them and killed all the butterflies in his stomach
The house, once a cozy refuge, was now often filled with tension. It seemed like every conversation ended in an argument
The house was silent, except for the screams, what started as a reprimand to your husband for having once again forgotten to pick you up from daycare, evolved into a huge scream. Hector, with teary eyes and an exalted voice, gestured frantically as he screamed
If someone from the outside looked at him, they might even think Hector was the victim
“You don’t understand!!! I need to live my life! You can’t expect me to stop living for myself to stay home and take care of your child”, the volume of Hector’s voice hurt Rowan’s ears
Every day there were the same arguments for the same reasons, already tired and venomous Rowan tried to argue, although his words were always lost amid the accusations
“Mine!? My child!? The puppy is only MINE!? YOU'RE NOT THE FATHER TOO!? You seem to forget that you have a life here!!! That you have a husband and a baby waiting for you at home, you can't just go out with your friends for hours leaving your own baby alone”, at this point he himself was already upset
“You disappear for hours, spend tens and hundreds of dollars on your credit card on gifts and clothes and trips with your friends and you don't have the money to buy a new coat for your baby!!”
Rowan always thought that the two had a good relationship, a solid marriage but apparently he was wrong, the relationship that was once limited to love and trust was now marked by fights and mutual accusations. The influence of Hector's new group of “friends” was quite apparent
A bunch of failed omegas who preached about being free and independent but were still supported by their parents' or ex-husbands' money, whispering sweet nothings in Hector's ears during the day and trying to get into Rowan's pants at every possible opportunity. He tried to tell Hector but his husband didn't believe him and just accused him of being abusive and controlling.
The nights at home that were reserved for spending time with the family were replaced by parties that lasted until dawn. Having to go pick up his husband from parties and see him acting totally drunk and flirting with everyone around was humiliating. It was only worse than having to make up a lie for you about why the omega father was smelling funny and vomiting all over the carpet.
Rowan was feeling increasingly alone and helpless. The loving husband he knew seemed to have been replaced by someone more self-centered and distant. And you, their beloved baby his baby seemed to have been relegated to a secondary position, being neglected while Hector dedicated himself exclusively to his pleasures and addiction
Rowan tried his best to give you all the love you needed but it was difficult to reconcile work, which was the only income in the house, with the almost exclusive squares of a child
“You are being selfish!!! Think of me!! Think of your child!!!”, his voice was increasingly emotional
“Don't you dare talk about selfishness, I sacrificed my youth to give birth to that thing!!!”, Hector retorted with a venom that Rowan had never heard before. “I lost my identity because of that kid!!!”
He doesn’t remember what insults were said next, all he remembers is your scared eyes peering at the two of them through the crack in the door watching your omega father packing his bags
Rowan, at the very least, expected him to look back at you but no, Hector walked forward taking heavy steps towards the exit without even saying goodbye to you
He walked out the door and never came back, the divorce papers arrived a few weeks later, ironically not even a day after the fight one of Hector’s “friends” was knocking on the door offering a “shoulder to cry on”
her cleavage was so big that he was genuinely curious about how her breasts didn’t pop out of her blouse
“Rowan! Rowan!! ROWAN!!!” His best man’s shout snapped him out of his nostalgic, melancholic thoughts. “Your tie is already perfect, man, you’ve been looking at yourself in the mirror for almost 40 minutes, don’t tell me you’re nervous” in the final words there was a tone of amused mockery
“No, I’m not anxious, I was just remembering some things”, the way his life had changed so suddenly once again was disturbing
Three years, it’s been three years since your breakdown, since he put you in therapy and since he met Sarah, his future wife
A little less than a year after starting therapy with you, Doctor Sarah resigned, her older brother who owned a series of hospitals, apparently he died of an allergic reaction after eating shrimp (in a vegan restaurant?), his wife and son also died in a traffic accident on the way to the hospital when they found out about his hospitalization
Apparently there was a problem with the brakes and the car lost control on a hill, Sarah didn’t want to give many details but he saw the news in the tabloids and on TV shows, EVERYONE was talking about it, for months it was the most popular topic in the media
Mainly because it started a fight for the succession of the business, Sarah won because she was the closest blood relative of the couple, much to the anger of the other relatives, there was even an assassination attempt against her that resulted in the entire family of her ex-sister-in-law being imprisoned for life
It was a real scandal, a year later Rowan met Sarah in a market, she recognized him and started talking to him
This event repeated itself daily, it seemed that wherever he was Sarah was coincidentally nearby
He was no idiot, he realized very quickly that she was stalking him, the question was why was she doing it?
Wearing summer dresses and carefully styling her hair to make it look like she hadn't spent hours styling it, just enough makeup to highlight her casual beauty done so subtly that if someone didn't look closely they wouldn't even notice she was wearing it, and her sweet personality totally different from the way she treated him in the office before
Others had tried to seduce him before, he knew very well how this game works
She seemed like the idealization of a divorced man's fantasy: young, beautiful, kind and totally interested in raising taking full responsibility for puppies that weren't hers
The reason became clear not long after when he saw her interacting with you, the way she hung on your every word was very obvious to him, the way she seemed to have to restrain her own hands from tucking your rebellious lock of hair behind your ear
Whenever you were mentioned her eyes would shine in a maternal way, It wasn't hard to see what her ultimate goal was in getting close to him
When he realized this, he wanted to back off, he wanted to put an end to all that force and make it very clear that if she got close to you again he would call the police, but then he realized something
Having only one father was dangerous, if something happened to him, what would happen to you? Your omega father was clearly not interested in you, he would probably take the life insurance money and spend it on his daughters, leaving you in misery
Rowan didn't have any close relatives, you would be alone in the world, but with Sarah the scenario would be different, you would have someone to turn to, someone to take care of you
Sarah made it quite clear that she fully intended to trade you for her heiress, if that happened your life would be set, you would never have a hard time in life. Isn't that what a father hopes to provide for his puppy?A life of happiness without financial hardship.
Money was getting tight, his ex-husband was asking for a raise in his alimony, Hector was claiming that he needed more money to support his daughters he's not their father so why is he the one who has to support those cuckoo chicks!?
Paying for all the courses and clubs you take at school is expensive, private school itself is expensive.
Recently, the Harmonia Beta movement has become stronger than ever. It was only a matter of time before mass layoffs and marginalization against alphas and omegas starts. He noticed his boss making rounds of the offices it's only a matter of time before he gets fired, without his job, how would he support the household? How would he support you?
Sarah came along like a miracle solution, marrying her would mean securing your financial stability, it would mean you could choose any college you wanted he tried his best to save for your university but it's hard being the only one working in the house having to maintain your lifestyle while supporting your leech ex-husband and his parasitic daughters, he tried so hard to save for you that he didn't even try to save for his own retirement
When Sarah indirectly explicitly said she would love to get married in the spring he knew what the right answer was, he took a large amount of money from his university fund taking the money out of there hurt his soul but he knew it was for the best, a small sacrifice, soon you would be an heiress who wouldn't have to worry about saving for university and bought the most beautiful and expensive ring he saw at the most popular diamond store in town
Every decision in his life has led him here, to this moment and he can only hope that be the right decision
Looking in the mirror again, Rowan adjusted his tie for the last time. The perfect knot of the tie seemed like a symbol of the beginning of his new life
Rowan heard his friend babbling again, during this whole time the best man talked nonstop about the breasts of the bride's bridesmaids without even realizing that Rowan was not paying attention
Reading the wedding vows one last time, Rowan mentally prepared himself for the ceremony
I'm doing this for my baby, for my baby, always for my baby. We'll both be okay, everything will be okay
TOC. TOC. TOC
“Mr. Rowan, the first ceremony will begin in 30 minutes. You better start heading towards the cathedral. Everything is perfect. You and your bride will love it...” While the wedding planner escorted the two out of the room and towards the church, Rowan made sure to keep his most pleasant smile on his face. Everyone should think he is a loving groom.
Being the center of attention is tiring, yhe religious ceremony has barely started, but he is already tired of being stared at. He really doesn’t know how he will keep a smile on his face for the next three days of celebration, plus two weeks of honeymoon on a family trip to Brazil.
Arriving at the church, he sees the guests already sitting down. He takes his place at the altar below the priest, a few minutes later, the music starts playing, little children enter throwing flower petals.
Then the bride enters.
Drawing everyone’s attention to her, she slowly walks down the aisle church, her eyes exude satisfaction and happiness, the guests think it's the happiness of marrying the man she loves but he knows very well that the reason for her joy is something else, it's you
After the bride's spectacular entrance that drew sighs of admiration and envy from those present, you enter the cathedral, walking down the aisle holding the rings
The symbolism did not go unnoticed by him
The eyes of the two future married couple shined when they saw you, the reason for everything, you were so beautiful
Handing over the rings and exchanging vows the priest officiates the ceremony
Rowan is no longer divorced, now he is remarried and he doesn't know exactly how to feel about it

Request: 148 Héctor Fort
Only Yours~Héctor Fort
Tumblr media
*GIF isn't mine. credits to the owner*
completely devastated after yesterday's match with Pedri and Frenkie injured. We can't seem to get a break unfortunately :( anyways enjoy <3
you can request from my prompt list
this is my master list
players/drivers I write for
148-"I don't fucking care you're supposed to be mine."
This takes place after the barca/villareal match (i died that day)
The disappointing match has finally ended. Barca losing 5-3 to the 15th place Villareal. Hector has played an amazing match, starting with the team and later on being subbed off.
The whole team was devastated, not only them but also the fans were frustrated. y/n knew Hector would be fuming, so she kept a note to herself to measure her words before speaking.
Walking down to the tunnel, she just wanted to check on Hector before he goes to the lockers where the team will probably have a small meeting.
She stood in the tunnel as the players started walking down, greeting politely the ones she knew, before her favorite player (after Hector ofc) appeared. Pedri smiled at slightly, walking to greet her.
"hola hermosa. how are you?" he asked with his usual charming smile, that seemed a bit upset this time.
y/n blushed slightly at the nickname, before waking herself from her trance, and smiling at him.
"I'm good. nice goal out there. shame it didn't end like we wanted" she said, while he nodded sorrow taking over his features
"yeah...not how we wanted it, but we'll come back I'm sure" he gave her an encouraging smile
She nodded, agreeing with his statement. They stood in silence for a while, before Pedri spoke up again.
"waiting for Hector I assume?" he asked, while she nodded and mumbled a small yes, glancing over his shoulder to see if he arrived.
"well I'm gonna go now. it was nice talking to you" he gave her a small hug before he flashed a smile and walked down the tunnel.
As Pedri disappeared, Hector stood on the top of the tunnel, rage taking over his eyes and face. y/n assumed it was because of the match, little did she know Hector had seen every interaction she had wit his teammate, and let the jealousy take over.
"hi amor. you did so good today" she mumbled, wrapping her arms around his neck. Instead of his usual hug, he just put a hand on her back and pulled away.
"I have to go. we have a small meeting" he avoided her eyes and started to walk away
"I'll wait in the car" she said in a high voice.
He didn't say anything and kept walking down the tunnel. She felt something off about him, but brushed it off and started her small walk to where she had parked her car.
After about 15 minutes of waiting, Hector arrived, seemingly taking a shower already. He opened the passenger door and got in his seat, not saying a word. When y/n opened her mouth to say something, he beat her to it.
"Xavi is leaving at the end of the season" he mumbled, crossing his arms around his chest. y/n was left in shock, not expecting it. Xavi means a lot to Hector because of the opportunity he gave to him with the first team. What y/n didn't know was that Hector's anger wasn't because of Xavi.
The drive home was silent, the tension between the two can be cut with a knife. When they arrived home, Hector was quick to leave the car and slam the door behind him. y/n rolled her eyes and followed him inside.
"so what's with your mood swings now?" she stood in front of him with her arms crossed
"you're talking about my mood swings? why don't you talk about your flirting with my teammates huh?" he said angrily, standing up from the couch he was sitting on
"what the fuck are you talking about?" she said back in the same tone
"did you think I didn't see you with Pedri? I saw every interaction between you too, and you were enjoying it way too much" he rambled, his voice loud and angry.
y/n stood for a second taking in what he said, she did nothing wrong with Pedri but knowing Hector he got jealous over anything.
"really Hector? you're jealous of your teammate? me and him are friends and you know it. YOU were the one who introduced us, why so jealous now then huh?" she raised her eyebrow waiting for his answer
"I don't fucking care you're supposed to be mine." he said through gritted teeth, his jaw clenching while he stood close to her, looking down at her frame that seemed shorter than his
"I'm dating you not him Hector. grow the fuck up please. talk to me when you realize how stupid all this was" she said calmly, leaving him in the living room while she left to the bedroom.
After about 10 minutes, Hector made y/n and himself some tea and took their mugs to the room. He knocked on the door with his foot before pushing the door open.
''hey baby...I made you some tea" he said in a low voice, walking to her side of the bed. She was reading a book, so she closed it and took the mug from him.
"thank you" she mumbled
"I'm sorry for the scene I made. I was already fuming after the match and I guess seeing you with Pedri just made me angrier. I didn't mean for it to end like this and I don't wanna sleep knowing you're still mad at me." he said sincerely, reaching over to brush some hair from her face. She smiled at his apology, kissing the hand on her face and reaching over to hug him
"it's okay babe, just don't do it again. I wouldn't leave you for anyone else. I love you too much to do that" she smiled, him smiling wider
He pressed a kiss on her lips and sat next to her enjoying their cup of tea with some chit chats

Post-114 (Still Not Ferin Well) headcanons 🤗
long post, Hcs for gillion, Jay and chibo under the cut ♥
Gillion(real)
-since his lay on hands wasn't an immediate reaction, all of his missing skin and the holes in his hands became scar tissue.
-once they got back to the ship and everything was calm again, his hair was soooo ratty and knotted. The crew spent ages combing it out, washing out the blood and grime, and making sure it was tied up next time they did something like that.
-when doppelgilly was voided and became a husk, Gillion felt bad. He knew that he shouldn't, he knew that doppelgilly was some evil copy of himself but doppelgilly looked, acted, and felt like himself. It was like looking in a mirror.
-to chip, Jay, and the rest of the crew, he has literally never looked worse. He looks exhausted, he looks beaten. To gil thoigh, he thinks that hes seen worse. He hasnt. The moment he was healed, they sent him to the tub.
-he nearly fell asleep in the elevator, and then while Jay and Gryffon helped with his hair.
-Gillion WILL have lasting trauma and you are NOT changing my mind. I mean no chance he doesn't right?? A Triton literally said to him, WHILE CHAINED, "YOU ABANDONED US." COME ON BRO THATS NOT EVEN THE WORST OF IT
-when Gil was first taken, his neck literally broke. It's verbally stated that if he hadn't casted death ward, he would literally be dead. And he was yanked upwards, as if he were hanged. That bitch should be DEAD AF DAWG. DEAD
Jay
-Jay is second guessing herself like the sky literally fell and it's her fault. She's questioning her role, her right to be a leader, even her life. She spends that night crying as quiet as she can. It felt good, she hasn't had a good silent sob session in a few months. She needed to let it out.
-When Jay put together that Gillion was actually doppelgillion, the loud noises started happening and she fuckin BOOKED IT over to the leviathan room. She got them into this mess, if she didn't get them out she'd never forgive herself.
-when gillion was sent to the tub and the rest of the crew left to do whatever they pleased, chip held Jay back. He told her that it wasn't all her fault. He said that he doesn't blame her for indulging on information about her sister, because why else are they going to the hole in the sea? For laughs? No, it's for chip to do the same thing. They hug then. And then they go about their day/night.
-Jay's hair is singed. When they finished with Gillions hair, they turn to Jay's and cut it as short as she'll let them. Her hair used to be around waist length, as she'd ignored it for a while, only doing so much as to brush it every morning and night to prevent knotting, and goddamn that shit was greasy. She wasn't the only one though so they didn't put it past her. Her hair after the cut is probably upper back to shoulder length. Queen comes along and helps her style it so she doesn't look stupid like she thinks she does.
-she denies that she likes it at all. She's lying and they all know it.
Chip
-im gonna be so fr with myself and say I haven't paid the most attention to chibo so if I get anything character-wise wrong, mercy 🙏
-chips bones are weaker now, some even broken from when he opened the drawer and the ringing rang. Griz said it splintered through his bones, I'm not letting that go
-anyway think like Hector from coco. Some bones are split and broken, some are being held together with medical tape, etc. Basically he's more broken than ever.
-in the fight with the holloweds on the ship. One of them managed to get a lucky shot right on the hole in his chest where his heart should be. Later that night, it burns. He scratches, he rubs, he does anything he can to make the burn go away but nothing works. It seems to have lessened the next day though, so he's not worried.
-theres discolored bruising around his neck where the slimy tongue is.
-on the same note, chip was being dragged much slower, so his neck didn't break, but he was held much tighter.
-when chip told Jay it wasn't her fault, it was all he could do to keep from crying. Because deep down, he thinks it was his. He's the one taking them to the hole, he's the one that brought them into this mess in the first place. He wished he'd never met anyone on this ship, so at least they'd be safe, home, and away from this. He's disappointed in himself. He's angry and sad and he's so upset that he's putting his crew through this nonsense.
-chip thinks the fact that doppelgilly pulled some of the worst cards back to back was hilarious. Then he looks at gillion later on and sees how he's contemplating and he rethinks. He doesn't really change his mind, but he rethinks.

playboys don’t play - marc guiu
prompt: college parties are his thing, but soon you’re the life of his party.
warnings: cursing, drinking, suggestive content (not smut, but just some making out and physical touch), probably some cheesy stuff
credits to owners for all images.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
just to clear things up, you weren’t a total loser in college. you loved going out with your friends. the only difference is, you knew how to maintain your grades. this semester has taken over your life very negatively. your friends never saw you anymore, and you only said 5 words to your roommate every single day.
there was only one solution. going out to a party. don’t get me wrong, therapy is very considerable as well. yet, parties are free and a nice stress reliever. your friends practically forced you out of your dorm. you loved going out, but never to places where the entire college is attending.
this party was a celebration to the college’s first soccer game this season, ending in a successful win. it was hosted by the one and only, marc guiu.
it was only his first year attending college. boy, did he gain a quick reputation. every single girl wanted him. during conversations before your classes, his name would start echoing. loud sounds of laughter and shrieks from people as he walked past. rumors flew about how many girls he’s been with, but nobody knew if they were true. constant talk in your friend group of bets on who gets to be the lucky girl he’s going to be with tonight.
you couldn’t lie to yourself. he was very attractive. he gave you sweet smiles across the class, maybe a few winks. in return, you gave him a ‘what the fuck’ face. you were in denial that you wanted him too.
“y/n is looking hella good today.” one of your girlfriends whistling as you put on your red lipstick.
“about time you took a break from your glasses. those contacts look really nice.”
overwhelmed with the compliments, you replied with a simple thank you. nothing like a tight and short black dress with gold jewelry.
arriving to the party, you and your friends were greeted with flashing lights. your friend group consisted a mix of girls. some popular, some casual, some nerdy. all that matters was a healthy friendship.
welcomed with shots being poured down your throat. you were still shocked at how beautiful the soccer teams ‘frat’ house was.
mingling in with the people, you couldn’t help but make eye contact with marc. his soft brown eyes looking at you and slowly noticing every detail of you.
“who are you staring at?” hector came up to him, causing the eye contact to break. you turned around to socialize with people and make more friends.
“nobody.” marc cleared his throat. trying to gain his normal thoughts, hector could see through his lies.
“you were staring at y/n, weren’t you.”
“no. i wasn’t. what are you talking about.” he shook his head repeatedly. marc had feelings for you ever since he laid eyes on you. he hated when rumors came around about him with other girls because the only person he wanted to be with, was you.
“marc, it’s time for you to tell her. im sure you don’t want any other guy on her, right?” as hector said the last sentence, he pointed at you talking to another guy who was obviously flirting with you.
“maybe i will. don’t worry about it.” marc walked away to get a drink as hector shrugged him off. nothing like getting him riled up just so he can be more direct towards you.
more games came around. such as beer pong, and your favorite, spin the bottle.
people sat in a circle with an empty beer bottle in the middle. first few spins landed on some of your friends.
“maria, truth or dare?” your friend, livy asked her.
“truth.” some people shouted boring, but the game was just getting started.
“is it true you hooked up with tyler?” sounds of ooo’s and gasps were heard. rumors flew around here, and this was the perfect time to get them straight.
“it is true.” maria laughed it off. the secret was finally out. considering maria was your roommate, you knew all the details of that night.
“alright, next.” livy’s boyfriend spun the bottle. slowly passing up marc, it landed on hector.
“truth or dare, hector?” hector gave a soft smirk. this man was always up for a challenge.
“dare.” it’s a tradition that the first dare of the night had to be the most memorable and the highlight of the party.
“i dare you to make out with kaitlyn.” damn, this game was getting hot. nothing like a time to rekindle high school sweethearts. especially when hector missed his ex girlfriend from his junior year. kaitlyn didn’t mind, she wanted him back just as bad.
hector stood up slowly and went up to her. both of them start making out, leading to many people trying to separate them after awhile.
“alright, next person.” hector spun the bottle. it made two laps and spun past you twice. it slowed down and pointed directly at marc.
“marc, my best friend, truth or dare.” hector patted him on his back.
“dare.” marc’s soft smile made you smile.
“i want you to spend 7 minutes in heaven with the next person it lands on.” all the girls made eye contact with each other. some of them were determined to have the bottle land on them.
“deal.” marc spun the bottle as fast as he could. slowly and slowly, the bottle landed on you. hector gave him a nice smile and a few laughs. you slowly stood up as marc was looking at you in disbelief.
“get up marc. you know you want to.” you were scared. you doubted anything was gonna happen since this would be the first interaction between the two, but this was definitely not how you saw yourself for the next 7 minutes. everyone followed you and him upstairs to his room. hector opened his closet door. luckily it was clean. "have fun." hector closed the door and now you were alone with marc. with the only light coming from his room through the little cracks of his door.
the next 2 minutes were just in silence as both of you sat on the ground. it was awkward, and you wanted to try and talk to him. yet, he looked terrified.
soon, he spoke, "i'm sorry y/n. i didn't wanna make my reaction look like that."
"you're fine. i thought you hated me for a second." trying to ease the tension, marc knew it was time to listen to hector's advice.
“no, i don’t hate you. it’s actually the opposite. i know this sounds weird, but i actually have a crush on you.” this was the first time someone ever confessed to you directly. maybe the first time someone even confessed. you were in pure shock trying to process what he just said.
“i thought you had a girlfriend.” marc sighed, knowing you were gonna bring up the rumors.
“i swear i’ve never dated anyone. you’re the only one i have feelings for. i know you’ve heard and think i got with almost every girl here, but i can promise you i didn’t. y/n, i’m being so serious to you. i’m not the playboy you think i am.”
you moved your body closer to him as he looked at you. he waited patiently for a response. “that’s actually pretty sweet of you to say. i’m not gonna lie to you either, but i think you’re attractive too. it’s just, i think we need to take some time to get to know each other.”
“that’s understandable. i’m just glad you got where i was coming from.” you made eye contact with him again. this time, you were closer to his face and you could see his eyes glisten at you. you looked at his lips, then his eyes.
one second led to another, you were now fully making out with him. you were straddled over his lap as your tongues continued to dance. his left hand placed on your ass, and his right traveling around your body. you kissed his jawline, then to his neck. he wanted his full attention on your lips though. he was holding your cheek as the night became needy.
unexpectedly, the door opened. you got off of marc and stood up to fix your dress.
“i see someone had fun.” hector winked at marc as he helped him stood up. walking outside, everyone was shocked. you looked at marc in confusion, only to notice your red lipstick was all over his lips, neck, and jaw. marc looked at you, and did not expect to see your lipstick smudged.
everyone left the room as marc wiped off some of your lipstick, and gave you one last kiss.

Broken Pieces
Part 2
Pairing: Logan Howlett x F!reader (20 ish something) Genre: angst and angst Warning: age gap, not proofread, use of Y/N Summary: You got a crush on Logan while he is still overshadowed by Jean's death. The love journey between you two gets on a bumpy path.
Tumblr media
The morning after, the consciousness is gathered in your body. Slowly opening your eyes, seeing Logan was there in the chair sleeping. A glimpse of yesterday madness rolled in your memory causing a headache making you whine. Logan dash off the couch to see you.
“Hey kid, how you feeling? feeling okay?” you observe his face. Worry filled his expressions but you know it was all just an act of generosity as a teacher. Logan waited but you didn't answer. Instead you try to get up and go back to your room. He stopped you
“Whoa whoa girl. Easy. You just recovered. Why in a rush sweet cheek?” you hate him for that. Act sweet, pet names, calling each other's front name outside class. You are trying to play it cool now even though your heart melted by the sound of that.
“I'm sorry Mr. Howlett but will you excuse me? I'm going back to my room”
Tilting his head, “We're not in class just call my name Y/N plus I need to tell professor to check up on you first” reach out to fondle your hair but you shrug it off and stand.
“Thank you for your kindness Sir but I'm feeling better already” ran out the lab leaving Logan alone in there.
He was bewildered, not knowing what he had done wrong to you. All he knew was the two of you were just fine yesterday morning, even you were mocking each other jokingly in the simulation room. Why act differently now? He tries to think positively “Maybe she's just hungover after partying last night” and heads off to the professor room to tell him about you.
You met Hector and Gina on your way back. They were about to visit you but you were out already. Both of them helped you out to the room and you told them all the stories last night. Knowing you were resentful, they just listened and comforted you.
Suddenly the dorm opened, showing Professor X, Logan, and Storm. Professor gave Gina and Hector a sign to leave for a moment and they did. “How are you feeling Y/N?” Professor asked “I am better now professor, thank you so much for the help last night. I’m so sorry for being a troublesome and waking everyone up” “That’s okay my child” “I’m grateful you’re okay Y/N. You’ve never gotten like this in a while. Does something bother you?” Ororo asking “No Storm. I'm okay really” you give them the best smile you can to make them believe “Don’t lie kid. I can see you lie to us. I am not Professor but I can tell. You’re really bad at lying” Logan stated “Now the two of you leave. I would like to have a conversation with Miss Y/N” Professor told them You felt relieved, you don’t need to see Logan for a while. Before leaving, Storm approached and said “Get well soon okay, the class missed you already”, you nod and smile to her. Both of them leaving you with Professor
Professor smiled at you then said “I know everything Y/N” , you ended up reciting all the overheard conversation which made you cause a scene at school last night. Professor knew it all, he always knew you’ve had a crush on Logan for a while.
The next day, your parents came to visit Xavier School. They talk in the headmaster's room, Logan himself escorts them to the room. He knew it, your parents visit you regularly every once in two weeks. He walks to your room, tends to let you know that your parents visit you because he knows you are so happy when they pay you a visit. “Kid, your parents here” he saw you packed your stuff. Everything in your room was packed, you left nothing in your nightstand. There are no stuffed animals in your bed. All empty. At that point he realized something was off. “Oh ya Mr. Howlett. Thank you for notifying.I’ll be there in a minute” “Hold on. Where you going? Why pack so much stuff Y/N? Going on a holiday?” him asked try to make sure “Yes. I’m going on holiday with my parents” giving him the eye smile you have. “That’s good. When will you come back?” “I don’t know. My dad said it’s going to be quite a long holiday” “But you will be back right?” “I will Mr.Howlett”
To be honest, he still wonder about why you call him formally since yesterday “Aight. Let me ask one last question, why do you call me in a formal way now?” “We are teacher and student Mr.Howlett I don’t think it’s okay to call you by your name only. It’s an act of my courtesy for you. I am sorry for my attitude.” “No not at all. I told you to call me that way right, remember kid?” he felt off, he missed how you say his name with all of that gaiety on your face. You still smile at him but it is a different smile. All bad thoughts gathered around his head but he thinks maybe you just need a holiday and there’s something you’ve been through that you wouldn’t like to talk about.
Finally you’re all set up. The luggage was placed in the trunk, now it’s time to say goodbye. The truth behind this holiday is you move abroad to France, your Dad is required to do what his boss wants. In the first place you had turned down their offer, you wanna stay here with your second family. But Logan took over your whole heart, you’ve been head over the heels for him. He doesn’t know it better keep it that way. You don’t want to be seen as a freak who’s falling in love with the teacher. You know yourself better than anyone, your feelings are gonna get deeper into him if you continue to stay. Instead you want to bury it, this attempt to walk off of Logan’s life is your best shot to do it.
Gina, Hector sniffled a bit. Storm and Professor giving you the warmest smile, they got a chance to say goodbye earlier to you in the office. The whole school knew about the movement except Logan, you were the one who wanted to keep it secret from him. Logan came closer and said “Take care kid. We will miss you here, go back soon alright!” stroke your hair like usual “Yes Mr.Howlett” “Please call me Logan before you go” “Yes Logan, I will” but I don’t know when Lo you in your thought “Keep this safe for me” he gave you his dog tag. The one that said “Logan” “No, you can’t give this to me. This is important to you. It’s the part of you” you stated “Yeah it is. I still have the “Wolverine” one, you keep that. You will return it to me when you’re back home okay?” he looked you in the eyes, the doe eyes signaling he doesn’t want you to go.
You nod, putting the dog tag around your neck, and give him a hug, quite a long one. You want to sniff him more, you want his smell to stick on you the whole ride. You want to feel his warmth for one last time. It breaks your heart into pieces, you shed a tear but quickly wipes it out so that Logan didn't notice.
“Let's go honey, there's a flight waiting for us” said your mom “Okay I need to go now Lo, goodbye” “Take care of yourself, write to me when you get there aight?” you nod at his request knowing so damn well you wouldn't do it.
That was the part 2. I hope you guys like the storyline. Give me some advice if there's any mistake ya! Thank you for reading pookie! Hope you all have a great day logan wives lmao

How they would comfort you
Tumblr media
Jack Sparrow:
• Jack Sparrow has a habit of trying to fix problems on his own, and when he wanted to fix whatever had you bothered, you ask him not to, that the best thing he can do for you is just to remain by your side, so he obliges
• Jack will try to get an image of how you’re feeling, but it’s a challenge when it comes to reading body language rather than hear it through words
• Jack isn’t very good at reading others, even you. You always have to tell him, which you honestly didn’t mind doing.
• Jack never was good at offering good advice once you’ve finished telling him. By doing this, Jack seems to be a good listener.
• He offers physical affection, his actions are stronger than words when it comes to you and sometimes that was better, all you need to see that everything is okay and will work out in the end
• Physical affection would include running his fingers lightly through your hair, and that often did the trick in making you feel so relaxed that you begin to doze off
• The next step in physical affection would be taking you into his sleeping quarters and the both of you would be cuddling as he continues to comfort you
• Pulls you close to him
• Promising you in a hushed tone that he would always be there for you
• Once you begin to feel better, you begin to speak
• “Can we stay like this for a little while? It’s nice.”
• Jack would release a small laugh as he agrees to your request
• He loves you to pieces and hated it to see that something has bothered you so much
• Jack had a way of making it all seem not so bad
Tumblr media
Hector Barbossa:
• To see you so upset, the very first thing that Barbossa would often think you were upset because of something he has done
• It took a lot for him to finally ask you if it was anything he did and would try to comfort you with apologies before giving you the chance to explain what was going on
• Once you confirmed it had nothing to do with anything he had done, it was a huge relief for him as he tries to help you through whatever was troubling
• Unlike Jack Sparrow, he uses words as a tool for comforting you, he’ll say the sweetest things to you, in which you know he is very sincere and is true to them, no matter how long in time
• “I’m glad you came into my life.” he would say, causing you to blush
• Upon seeing that, he waited until you were ready to tell him what was going on that made you upset
• When you did tell him, he pulls you in his embrace and pulls you close while you continue on telling him
• “I’m here for you.” is how it all starts, and you think it’s the best place to start.
• sometimes he will try and tell you stories from his past adventures
• Your favorite ones to hear about are the ones about Jack Sparrow
• Whenever you feel this way, Barbossa would know how to take care of you and help you to feel better
• He often doesn’t say it, but in this case, he said it again, almost as if he was taking back in time where the two of you confessed feelings for each other
• “I love you, so much.” he would say, followed by your own feelings for him.
• “I love you, too.”
Tumblr media
Davy Jones:
• It doesn’t take long for Davy to pick up on the fact that something was wrong, or that something seemed to have upset you and he was determined to get to the bottom of it and find out
• One of the signs he picked up on was the fact that your ability to remember things had seemed to gone out the window
• Next, if you have messed up just the slightest, no matter how small, you seemed to get easily irritated and even close to very emotional, which is very unlike you
• The last part of it was you have suddenly fallen ill, even though the day before you were perfectly healthy
• Of course, Davy didn’t want to find out just by asking so at first, he asks some of the most trusted crew mates to look after you and report back to him if they notice anything
• When that didn’t work, he had no choice but to come right out and ask you, and he worried that it would upset you
• It did a little in the beginning, but you don’t spill everything out at once. So every night as you’re recovering, he comes to visit and you just take baby steps in telling him everything. During that time spent together, you’ve become closer as he gets to know you better
• After learning what’s going on, Davy’s soft spot for you only grew, as he now isn’t afraid to spare you the treatment in front of everyone from now on
• Comfort shows more from his actions than words, but he’s very good at it
• A couple of times, you’ve noticed Davy keeping an eye on you if you’re not close by, he just wants to make sure you’re not in any kind of danger, keeping you safe from harm
• The crew now respects you a little more than they have before
Tumblr media
Will Turner:
• If you’re upset about something, it’s easy for him to tell, it’s nearly impossible to hide anything from Will
• He knows just by simply holding your hand brings you calm and comfort, so you’re often seen around holding his hand
• If you have to part ways for even just a few seconds or minutes, he’s always reluctant to leave your side, even with knowing you’d still be there when he returns to you, almost like he never left for a brief moment
• “Don’t go where I can’t follow!” he’d say, but that would be when you go off on your own a little bit
• Hearing Will say that never failed to bring a smile to your face. Upon your return, Will sometimes is overly dramatic with greetings. Usually he greets you with a hug that tells you he thought he’d never see you again.
• You don’t complain, you return the hug before going off with him
• Will was very protective of you, especially during those times you would get upset and often, he would think it was because of something he had done
• “Don’t lie for me, (Y/n).” he’d say.
• You were always truthful with him
• You both work together on looking for ways to get rid of whatever it was that was making you so upset
Tumblr media
James Norrington:
• No matter how hard you may try, it was just too easy for James to pick up on the scent that you were very bothered by something
• Once it was confirmed, he would ask you what it was, nearly demanding answers from you
• However, seeing as upset as you were once he started asking, he allowed for you to take all the time in the world that was required of your need to compose yourself just enough to at least.m tell him what was going on
• He refused to leave your side once he knows and tries his best to comfort you in ways he believed would bring you comfort
• And it worked
• You’re hardly leaving his side and he’s hardly ever letting you go out of his sight
• Unlike some, James Norrington was very understanding and sincerely cared
• From than on, he wasn’t afraid to put you first before anything else
• Even though it may have gotten him in trouble a few times, he continued and didn’t care about the trouble it got him in
• You would ask for him to worry about you later, but he wasn’t having it
• “Not a chance in the world.” he’d say.
• Which only made you fall in love with him even more
• It was those awful nightmares that was bothering you, they seemed to never have any plans on ever going away
• If anything, they got worse each time you had one
• One night, you had a real bad one, one that made you scream and thrash around in your sleep
• Of course, that woke James up and he comes to your aid as he begins comforting you
• “I heard you screaming again, is it the nightmares?”
• You nod as you feel like you couldn’t breathe and that’s when James started his mission to comfort you back to sleep
• “Hey, just look at me. Breathe.”
• You did and soon, you started feeling better and laid back down to go back to sleep.
• Just as you were about to enter sleep, you were awakened a short minute at the feel of James Norrington’s hand in yours
• “Hold my hand. You’re going to be fine.”
• “I could use a hug.” you say sleepily.
• The last thing you remember before falling asleep was seeing the smile form on his lips, followed by the feel of him holding you
• Finally, a peaceful sleep takes over

Do you know something that honestly bothers me? that when they want to make retellings of Greek stories, they almost always go for the figures that really do not deserve their own story.
I KNOW IT SOUNDS BAD, BUT LISTEN.
Circe, for example, from this woman (who turned out to be quite controversial) Madeline, they try to sell you Circe's story as a "feminist" retelling and normally there would be nothing wrong with that.
The issue is that Circe (in the myths and from what I understand in the book) is not at all feminist.
I mean, she is a morally gray woman, I respect that, but is it really a good idea to use as an example of a "feminist" a woman who 1- killed a man who did not want to be unfaithful to his wife with her, 2- converted an innocent nymph in a MONSTER (Scylla) only for an unrequited love (again) and 3- in Telogony, after Odysseus dies (her supposed "lover" who in some versión she ENCHANTED, at the hands of the son they had together) she marries HIS ANOTHER SON.
Since when did a woman who tramples on men or hurts other women for her own benefit become a "feminist" or "girlboss"??
WITH SO MANY OTHER POSSIBLE SCENARIOS TO MAKE RETELINGS OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND THEY DECIDE TO GO FOR CIRCE?
"BUT JUlIx WHAT ANOTHER EXAMPLE DO YOU WANT THEM TO USE?? Circe is SUPER KNOWN, OBVIOUSLY it's easier to go for her"
other examples? let's see:
MEDUSA (old classic, a great allegory that still works today about how SA victims are re-victimized and blamed by the people who should be protecting them/they don't get justice because their attacker is more "relevant" and powerful than them). (Even if it's the Roman versión, You can't Say that a myth that reflects the reality of THOUSANDS of women and give streng to the víctims its not "feminist")
PENTHESILEA(Amazon queen who fought in the Trojan War, which she attended because she was depressed after having accidentally killed her sisters, but she did not leave without killing dozens of Trojans and fighting with Achilles himself. IMAGINE A BOOK ABOUT HER) .
THE AMAZONS IN GENERAL (Tribes of warlike women, daughters of Ares, whom he loved very much, who had a matriarchal system that existed without men, without competition, with a great sense of sisterhood and who participated in many velic encounters in mythology) .
HERMIONE OF SPARTA AND ANDROMACHA (the daughter of Helen of Troy and Menelaus and the wife of Hector of Troy respectively. Both were married against their wills to Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles, who was abusive (quite graphically) and they hated him. Imagine a story where the two become friends and team up to kill Neo, Hermione takes control of Sparta and Andromache is her second in command).
ATALANTA (The only woman of the Argonauts who, when the magical boar of Calidon appeared, was the one who managed to hurt him first and kept the home trophy (but FOR SOME REASON later there are myths that kill her in the stupidest way possible, thanks Aphrodite) )
In conclusion, let's give the spotlight to Greek women who genuinely deserve to be known about them❤️ (without trowing Hate to Circe, she DESERVES TO BE KNOWN, but not as a feminist story).
________
(ESPAÑOL)
¿saben algo que sinceramente me molesta? que cuando se quieren jacer retelings de las historias griegas, casi siempre van por las figuras que realmente no se merecen una historia propia.
SE QUE SUENA MAL, PERO ESCUCHEN.
Circe, por ejemplo, de esta mujer(que resulto ser bastante polemica) Madeline, tratan de venderte la historia de Circe como un reteling "feminista" y eso normalmente no tendria nada de malo.
el tema es que Circe(en los mitos y por lo que tengo entendido en el libro) no tiene nada de feminista.
digo, es una mujer moralmente gris, eso lo respeto, pero ¿realmente es buena idea usar de ejemplo de "feminista" a una mujer que 1- mato a un hombre que no queria serle infiel a su esposa con ella, 2- convirtio a una ninfa inocente en un MONSTRUO(escilla) solo por un amor no correspondido (otra vez) y 3- en Telogony, después de que Odiseo muere(su supuesto "enamorado", a manos del hijo que tuvieron juntos) ella se casa CON SU OTRO HIJO.
¿¿desde cuando una mujer que pisotea a los hombres o hace daño a otras mujeres por beneficio propio paso a ser "feminista" o "girlboss"??
CON TANTOS OTROS POSIBLES ESCENARIOS PARA HACER RETELINGS DE LA MITOLOGÍA GRIEGA Y DECIDEN IR POR CIRCE?
"PeRo jUlIx ¿¿QuE oTrO eJeMpLo QuIeReS qUe UsEn?? Circe Es sUpEr cOnOcIdA, OBVIamente es mas facil ir por ella"
¿otros ejemplos? veamos:
MEDUSA(viejo clasico, una gran alegoria que sigue funcionando hasta hoy sobre como las victimas de SA son re-victimizadas y culpadas por la gente que deberia protegerlas/no obtienen justicia porque su agresor es mas "relevante" y poderoso que ellas).
PENTESILEA (Reina amazona que peleo en la guerra de Troya, a la cual asistio por estar deprimida al haber matado accidentalmente a sus hermanas, pero no se fue sin matar a decenas de troyanos y pelear con el propio Aquiles. IMAGÍNENSE UN LIBRO SOBRE ELLA).
LAS AMAZONAS EN GENERAL (Tribus de mujeres guerraras hijas de Ares, a las cuales el amaba mucho, que tenian un sistema matriarcal que existia sin hombres, sin competencia, con un gran sentido de hermandad y que participaron en muchos encuentros velicos en la mitología).
HERMÍONE DE ESPARTA Y ANDROMACA(la hija de Helena de Troya y Menelao y la esposa ee Hector de troya respectivamente. ambas se casaron en contra de sus voluntades con Neoptolemo, el hijo de Aquiles, que era abusivo(bastante gráficamente) y lo odiaban. imaginense una historia donde ambas se hacen amigas y se alian para matar a Neo, Hermíone toma el control de Esparta y Andromaca es su segunda al mando).
ATALANTA(La unica mujer de los argonautas que cuando aparecio el jabali magico de calidon fue quien logro lastimarlo primero y se quedo con el trofeo de casa(pero POR ALGUNA RAZON después hay mitos que la matan de la forma mas estupida posible, gracias Afrodita))
en conclusión, demosle el reflector a mujeres griegas que genuinamente merecen que se sepa de ellas❤️(sin titarle Hate a Circe, MERECE SER CONOCIDA, pero no como historia feminista).

||COUNTDOWN ||SEASON 3 EPISODE 03 || ALL DEBTS PAID ||
#83daysofoutlander☆
June 18, 1755
John Grey had dressed carefully this evening, with fresh linen and silk stockings. He wore his own hair, simply plaited, rinsed with a tonic of lemon-verbena. He had hesitated for a moment over Hector’s ring, but at last had put it on, too. The dinner had been good; a pheasant he had shot himself, and a salad of greens, in deference to Fraser’s odd tastes for such things. Now they sat over the chessboard, lighter topics of conversation set aside in the concentration of the midgame. “Will you have sherry?” He set down his bishop, and leaned back, stretching. Fraser nodded, absorbed in the new position. “I thank ye.” Grey rose and crossed the room, leaving Fraser by the fire. He reached into the cupboard for the bottle, and felt a thin trickle of sweat run down his ribs as he did so. Not from the fire, simmering across the room; from sheer nervousness. He brought the bottle back to the table, holding the goblets in his other hand; the Waterford crystal his mother had sent. The liquid purled into the glasses, shimmering amber and rose in the firelight. Fraser’s eyes were fixed on the cup, watching the rising sherry, but with an abstraction that showed he was deep in his thoughts. The dark blue eyes were hooded. Grey wondered what he was thinking; not about the game—the outcome of that was certain. Grey reached out and moved his queen’s bishop. It was no more than a delaying move, he knew; still, it put Fraser’s queen in danger, and might force the exchange of a rook. Grey got up to put a brick of peat on the fire. Rising, he stretched himself, and strolled behind his opponent to view the situation from this angle. The firelight shimmered as the big Scot leaned forward to study the board, picking up the deep red tones of James Fraser’s hair, echoing the glow of the light in the crystalline sherry. Fraser had bound his hair back with a thin black cord, tied in a bow. It would take no more than a slight tug to loosen it. John Grey could imagine running his hand up under that thick, glossy mass, to touch the smooth, warm nape beneath. To touch… His palm closed abruptly, imagining sensation. “It is your move, Major.” The soft Scots voice brought him to himself again, and he took his seat, viewing the chessboard through sightless eyes. Without really looking, he was intensely aware of the other’s movements, his presence. There was a disturbance of the air around Fraser; it was impossible not to look at him. To cover his glance, he picked up his sherry glass and sipped, barely noticing the liquid gold taste of it.
Fraser sat still as a statue of cinnabar, only the deep blue eyes alive in his face as he studied the board. The fire had burned down, and the lines of his body were limned with shadow. His hand, all gold and black with the light of the fire on it, rested on the table, still and exquisite as the captured pawn beside it. The blue stone in John Grey’s ring glinted as he reached for his queen’s bishop. Is it wrong, Hector? he thought. That I should love a man who might have killed you? Or was it a way at last to put things right; to heal the wounds of Culloden for them both? The bishop made a soft thump as he set the felted base down with precision. Without stopping, his hand rose, as though it moved without his volition. The hand traveled the short distance through the air, looking as though it knew precisely what it wanted, and set itself on Fraser’s, palm tingling, curved fingers gently imploring. The hand under his was warm—so warm—but hard, and motionless as marble. Nothing moved on the table but the shimmer of the flame in the heart of the sherry. He lifted his eyes then, to meet Fraser’s.
“Take your hand off me,” Fraser said, very, very softly. “Or I will kill you.”
The hand under Grey’s did not move, nor did the face above, but he could feel the shiver of revulsion, a spasm of hatred and disgust that rose from the man’s core, radiating through his flesh. Quite suddenly, he heard once more the memory of Quarry’s warning, as clearly as though the man spoke in his ear this moment. If you dine with him alone—don’t turn your back on him. There was no chance of that; he could not turn away. Could not even look away or blink, to break the dark blue gaze that held him frozen. Moving as slowly as though he stood atop an unexploded mine, he drew back his hand. There was a moment’s silence, broken only by the rain’s patter and the hissing of the peat fire, when neither of them seemed to breathe. Then Fraser rose without a sound, and left the room.

Seawater
Everyone falling apart on vacation? More likely than you think. Some angsting Hector drinking a lot of seawater on accident.
Hector could not remember when was the last time he was this pissed.
It didn't even have a proper reason. He was on vacation, for Shadow's sake, he had no work, no wolves to get into fights with, no incompetent subordinates to yell at.
What the hell was wrong?
Maybe it was because he suddenly had so much free time. Leaving him alone with his thoughts, letting him observe things he didn't want to think about.
Like what was up with that damn kid? Why was Isaiah so insistent on helping him? It might not have seen like it, Isaiah could be very subtle and unobtrusive. But Hector could see it, damn it all.
This was Isaiah's version of fussing. Quiet watchful gaze, the way he was always turning to have Rip on sight,...the way he was advising him.
Isaiah never watched Hector's trainings like that since they were little. He never gave him tips or told him what to improve.
Hector begged him to spar with him once he became executioner. Even more so once he became the Executioner.
Like how could you have a walking genius talent powerhouse at home and not get any training yourself? How incapable did you have to be for your big brother to ignore you like that?
How unworthy was Hector in his eyes?
On some level, he knew it was stupid. Isaiah didn't train with him cause he was training with father and father messed him up and god knows what Isaiah didn't want to show him.
That's what sparring was for wolves. Communication. A dialogue between fists, a meeting of souls. Time, when all barriers and polite conventions fell off, when wolves could throw their best at each other. There was honesty in that intensity, baring of everything weak and wrecked and rotten to wash it all away. Cleanse up, shed the old fur and start anew.
Because it didn't matter what you fucked up during a fight with someone you trusted. Because they were helping you to get better. Because Hector couldn't read expressions and he messed up everything emotional—but he could read a damn fight.
Hector could tell from the way a person held himself how confident someone was, from the drop of shoulders what hurt, from the turn of the feet where the strike would come. How someone thought, what they hid, what they cared about.
Isaiah refusing to fight him took years of his life when he was a teenager. Although he now had an explanation, the resentment lingered.
The vacation, this training, should have been a chance. A start over. Hector wanted to get involved because Isaiah was there, because he wanted to get them to fight together.
He should have known he couldn't enforce them being okay with each other. Of course not.
At first, Hector was hoping it was the heart recovery thing. That he should simply take that into consideration....did Isaiah think Hector was blind?! Not like he would go all out and kill him, if Isaiah happened to stumble or needed to go easy.
Hector would know if he saw. If he just had a chance to fucking see.
But there was nothing to see. Isaiah stayed in the back. Guarded, cold, distant. Not revealing a damn thing, like he still needed to put up a front for Hector.
The last drop was when their morning session was finished—Rip taking a swim to shake off the rest of the adrenaline—and Isaiah turned to Matthew. For a workout.
Sparring after an injury was always a sensitive matter. Hector had experience with his own and with others after injuries, rolled down shadows, his own damn car accident and operation. Isaiah getting into training after something as intrusive as a heart surgery counted as a pretty big deal.
But of all people it was Matthew that Isaiah turned to. Of fucking course.
So Hector didn't watch.
He turned on his heel and stormed out. His shadow was growling with anger and hurt and he needed to get the hell away from the source and prying eyes.
There was a clawing sensation around his ribs and his throat was too tight. His shadow was coiling around him with emotion he didn't want to identify. Anger came easier for wolves when they were hurt. Feelings were easier to deal with that way.
He needed to get the hell out. Get himself off all their hands. Probably did a favour to all of them.
...
Unfortunately for Hector, the day was in full course. It was too crowded to find a secluded spot and too hot to do much of anything away from water.
Hector needed something fast and violent that would take him far away. Let him escape from his thoughts and shadow...
The water scooters in the middle of the beach after the seaport. Oh yes.
Hector didn't even ask for the price, pushing a bunch of Bulgarian levs into the guy's hands. He was shaking with excitement. This was like a motorbike, but with even less rules to follow on the open sea.
He didn't have a motorbike, because how would he be driving Arnie around? Didn't mean he couldn't stop to admire them at every chance he got.
It was a great weather for the scooter. Windy and with lots of big waves that made the scooter jump under his hands. Hector tensed up, adjusting to the movement, almost standing up. Jump. Then lower again. Like riding a horse.
The speed was great, the sea darkening around him as he sped away from the beach. The shore was getting smaller along all his problems and crazy jealousies.
Jealousy, he could work with. It was his defining feeling these days. He was jealous that Isaiah got a girlfriend before they reconciled and now everything had to happen through her or with her. She was always closer, and everyone would expect her to be closer than he was or Arnie was and it was so not fair.
He didn't have that time of undivided attention and he already had to share him with her.
Then there was Matthew. Isaiah's oh so loyal troublesome second. He wasn't that special. Hector fought with Matt before and okay, he was strong and his shadow was annoyingly large—if Hector was in a good mood, he might admit it was adequate for an Executioner's right hand—
But it still angered him. What did Matthew have that Hector didn't?
Heck, what did Isaiah have, anyway? Spit on family legacy, said no thanks to inheriting an empire, left them both behind to lead an unobtrusive life with two other people in some kind of self-exiled hiding...
Why did it still irk Hector so much? So now he was the head of the Wolfsons, he was the first in line after Uncle Grayson, he was—
Hector was getting everything without a fight. For free. It never felt like he deserved it. Isaiah never let him prove his strength, that he was capable of taking over. No, Hector got simply stuck with the leftovers Isaiah didn't want.
If he had the opportunity, if he had been granted the possibility to win it over from Isaiah—the leadership, the mastery of the pack, the responsibility—it would have been fine. He would have been able to take over with pride and satisfaction.
But no. He was handed it down like a pair of washed-out jeans.
To hell with it, he was jealous even of the attention Rip was getting, and that was the lowest of the low. Lost dirty little street rat. What bussiness did it have walking among them?
Why did Isaiah feel any sympathy for that thing? Why, why, why?
He sped up the scooter, the engine roaring beneath him in protest, but complying. Hector liked when things complied. When his orders were followed, expectations fulfilled.
He wasn't wrong that often. He wasn't a damn loser, he was a winner.
Hector abruptly stopped in the middle of the sea wasteland. There was no shore in sight from either direction. Just the churning angry sea, reflecting his mood.
He leaned his forehead against the steering modem, taking short shallow breaths like he was running.
There was something Isaiah felt for that thing. Some kind of connection or understanding or whatever it was.
And Hector hated it. He hated that Isaiah, the strongest and coolest wolf he knew, understood what some-beaten-down-traumatised-almost-mad welp was feeling.
His oldest brother had no bussiness relating to street strays and lost causes.
His mind kept coming back to the training sessions they did together as children. Back when things were so uncomplicated. When it was just them having fun. They fought all the time as pups.
Heck, a 10 years old Isaiah couldn't take a stroll to the kitchen without getting jumped by 8 years old Hector. They would roll on the floor, shadows searing while toddle Arnie was clapping his hands in their mother's arms like it was a show made for him.
They would laugh until their stomachs hurt and throats were dry.
Hector hissed through his teeth, squeezing his eyes shut. He was acting like a child, wishing for the past like that.
But those were his only reference points left. The last time he could rely on knowing what was going on. When everything was okay.
Nothing was okay now. And worst about it was that Hector didn't know what happened when. He didn't know what hurt Isaiah the most, what bothered him, what he should be careful about.
Isaiah would take his hits and insults and shrug them away...and then get a freaking heart attack at 25, cause he was so fine and dandy.
And even if Hector wanted to help now, he didn't know what or how to do it. Which made it worse than worst, because he felt like he should know. His own flesh and blood should not need to explain to him what hurt, what bothered him.
But Hector didn't notice when it started. He just knew when the fights stopped. All those years Isaiah was keeping them in the dark, Hector spend trying to get them back. Making it all worse, naturally.
He turned the scooter around, relying on sense of direction as he sped up again. The salty air was whipping at his face and hair. Losing himself in that speed and those jumps was the release he needed.
His shadow trailed behind him like a parachure, melting with the waves.
Hector chased the biggest waves down. Hop and jump, hop and jump, enjoying the way his stomach flipped each time. It actually felt like flying.
The scooter gave another warning growl and then jerked in his hands. Right when he was climbing a wave again. Hector lost his balance, tumbling over into the sea.
Hitting the water wasn’t a problem—he’d taken worse spills in his life—but the surprise and force of the impact left him disoriented. He instinctively opened his mouth to breathe, but instead of air, a rush of seawater flooded into his lungs and stomach. Coughing and sputtering, he flailed in the water, trying to get his bearings.
It took all his crisis training to force himself to stop. His lungs and throat were burning from the salt and the giant waves were rolling over his head. He let himself be carried with the flow, diving with the wave to free himself of its power. He could dive under the next one and then figure out the right way to swim back up to the scooter.
He managed to climb back up. The air burned in his nostrils but he managed to get to the seat before he brust into a coughing fit, bending over.
The seawater was sitting heavily in his stomach. It felt uncomfortably full, like he just for from a double portioned lunch instead of not eating since breakfast. His lungs and throat were still burning and his eyed were watering against the sunlight.
Yeah, time to go back.
...
"Where the hell did you disappear to?" Matthew asked, materializing on the steps to his room. Hector groaned internally, tightening his grip on the railing.
Getting back from the beach had been a challenge. The seawater in his stomach kept churning and swirling. He had to fight intense nausea rolling through him. He felt like he was still on the sea.
"For real," Matthew continued, "my back's still a bit messed up from the sunburn and Isaiah didn't want me to feel left out and then you bolt on us for no reason. Petty much?"
Hector wanted to snarl at him. The red wolf was currently the main obstacle between him and the safety of the bathroom. Alas, he was too scared it would come out as a whine instead, so he kept his mouth shut.
"Zaya's home?" He ended up saying instead.
"The necessary lunchtime sun lockdown, yeah."
There was a beat of silence. It was only Matthew's stare that reminded Hector he should probably say something. The blonde wolf took the last step to their floor. Few more meters to the door felt like an impossible chasm to cross.
His stomach rumbled, loud and angry. It felt like a damn fish got caught between his stomach walls and was currently fighting its way out.
Matthew frowned at Hector's hunched position. "You don't look so good. Don't tell me you got heat stroke too?"
"I'm n't th't d'mb," Hector managed. His stomach cramped hard, a spasm going all the way from under his ribs to his lower belly. His mouth was overflowing with saliva and yet he felt thirsty. The room was getting blurry on he edges, his head at the risk of floating away.
Matthew didn't seem to get the hint that Hector wanted to be left alone, cause he stepped closer instead. His movements were still stiff under the shirt he was wearing. Hector could always read movements better than damn faces.
"You gonna fall over? Come on, I can-"
Hector shook Matt's hand off like a viper, swaying dangerously. He grabbed at the railing from the staircase again, swallowing. The nausea got worse with each new piercing cramp, and he closed his eyes to keep standing.
Every inch of his body focused on staying upright and not spilling his guts right there on the stairs. He felt Matthew’s eyes on him, the silence heavy and uncomfortable between them. Another wave of nausea churned in his stomach, threatening to overpower his self-control.
“I’m fine,” Hector forced out, though he could barely hear his own voice over the sound of blood rushing in his ears.
“Yeah, sure.” Matthew’s tone was sharp, but there was something else there. Worry, maybe? Hector didn’t care. He just needed to get to the damn bathroom.
Matthew stepped closer again. “If you’re about to pass out—”
“I said leave me alone.” The words came out harsher than he intended, raw and jagged, and his hands clenched around the railing like it was the only thing keeping him anchored.
The sudden burst of anger threw him off balance. He lurched sideways, barely catching himself on the wall. His stomach twisted violently, and before he could stop it, Hector doubled over, retching as giant gush of water covered the tiles.
The bitter taste of salt filled his mouth as he gasped for air, bile burning his throat. His knees buckled, and he sank to the ground, hands trembling.
“Shit, Hector…” Matthew’s voice was closer now, but Hector couldn’t bring himself to respond. His body was too busy rebelling against him.
Matthew knelt down beside him, his sunburn forgotten. “Come on, man. Let’s get you inside.”
Hector barely registered the words, too exhausted to resist as Matthew hauled him to his feet, steadying him with a firm grip. "You need to sit down. Something's wrong here. I'm calling Zaya."
"No," Hector rasped. Speaking hurt too, like his throat was covered in glass shards. "I can handle myself. Just-just get me inside. Arnie'll-" Another bubbly burp interrupted him and Hector doubled over. "Arnie's enough."
Matthew didn't look convinced, chewing at his bottom lip, but moved obediently towards Hector's room. "Okay, okay."

could do one where the reader and hector fort are friends with benefits and the reader is jealous but soon after he reveals his feelings and asks her to date
(English is not my first language, I hope you understand) love your write 💕
BEYOND THE BENEFITS PT. 1 // H.FORT
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: Hector and you have been friends with benefits for some time now, but you begin to feel jealous when Hector starts spending time with other girls. But one night, at Marc's party everything takes a turn.
content: friends with benefits! , angst
warnings: none i think, just a little fight
words: 1171
a/n: i think i deviated a little from the original request but i hope you like it! also, i think i fell in love with marc guiu halfway, ups
Recently, you had begun to realize that your feelings for Hector had deepened into something more serious. You found yourself more and more jealous whenever another girl paid attention to him, and it was consuming you.
To make matters worse, Hector seemed to be pulling away, giving you less of his attention. This only fueled your overthinking and insecurities, making you feel like he was losing interest in you. You were constantly wondering what you did wrong and why he was becoming distant.
You made a difficult decision - you would figure out Hector's feelings for you at the party. If he didn't feel the same way, you had resolved to end your friendship, even though it would hurt deeply since you were friends before becoming friends with benefits.
The party was held by your mutual friend Marc Guiu, and as you entered, you spotted Hector across the room, chatting with a small group.
You deliberately slow down your pace, making sure not to approach Hector too quickly. Between conversations, you grab a drink and chat with other people at the party.
You keep an eye on Hector from across the room, waiting for an opportunity to talk to him alone. Finally, you spot him standing by himself, sipping a drink. This is your chance.
As you were about to approach Hector, you noticed one of the girls who had a crush on him - she had been shooting dagger eyes in your direction all night. She pretends to stumble and "accidentally" bumps into you, spilling her drink all over the front of your dress.
The girl doesn't leave you the opportunity to react and smirks leaning close to your ear.
"You really think Hector is interested in you?" she says in a low voice. "He's just using you for sex. You're nothing but a convenient distraction. He'll drop you as soon as he gets bored."
Despite your attempts to not let her words get to you, a seed of doubt has been planted in your mind. You force a smile, trying to remain composed.
"How do you know that?" you ask, feigning nonchalance. "Hector and I are friends. We've known each other for a long time."
The girl smirks, relishing in your discomfort. "Oh please," she rolls her eyes. "Everyone knows Hector's reputation. He doesn't commit to anyone, and trust me, you're no different."
As the girl's words sink in and the truth of Hector's reputation settles in your soul, tears well up in your eyes, but you stubbornly hold them back. Just then, Hector appears, followed by Marc, looking concerned.
Hector stops short when he sees the stain on your dress and the tears in your eyes. "Hey, what happened?" he asks, his voice laced with worry. And you can't help but only think about how his concern might be just an act as she said.
He glances at the girl who had spilled the drink on you before looking back at you, concern etched on his features. Marc, ever the peacemaker, attempts to diffuse the situation. "Everything alright here?" he asks, looking between you, Hector, and the girl.
Hector looks at you, his eyes fixed on the stain on your dress. "Are you okay?" he asks, his voice soft. "I saw what happened. That girl was just being a..." He trails off, searching for the right words.
The stress and emotional weight of the evening finally get to you, and you reach your breaking point. You turn to Hector not letting him finish what he was about to say, your voice breaking slightly as you confront him.
"Were you just using me? Is it true that i'm just a toy that you'll toss aside when you get bored? Do I hold any importance to you at all?"
You're so focused on getting an answer that you don't notice that your conversation has become the center of attention for some of Hector's teammates.
Hector's hesitation and the silence that followed your question were all you needed to leave him by all means. Your heart breaks into a million pieces, and without another word, you turn on your heel and head for the door, tears streaming down your face.
Marc, who had silently observed the scene, sends a sharp glare at Hector before quickly following you, trying to catch up with your quick strides.
"¡Oye, espera!" ("Hey, wait!") Marc calls out, trying to get your attention.
He follows you out of the party, worried about the state you're in. "¿Estás bien? ("Hey, are you alright?") he asks, grabbing your arm gently to slow you down.
You shake your head, still reeling from the conversation with Hector. The tears are now falling freely, and you feel like your world has just collapsed.
"No," you manage to choke out, your voice wobbly. "I'm not alright."
Marc's face softens, and he wraps his arm around your shoulders, trying to comfort you.
"Come on," he says gently. "Let's go someplace quiet where we can talk. You shouldn't be alone right now."
Marc has always been aware of Hector's feelings for you. He has seen how his friend looks at you, how he cares for you, and how he constantly seeks your attention. Everyone around you seems to know except you.
Marc's heart aches as he watches you cry, knowing that Hector has caused you so much pain by not recognizing his own feelings and instead complicating your friendship. He remembers the days when you three were inseparable, and he wished things had remained innocent.
Marc obliges, wordlessly embracing you and letting you cry into his shoulder. He gently rubs your back, trying to calm you down.
Meanwhile, Hector is standing a few feet away, watching the scene unfold. He had followed you and Marc outside, desperate to talk to you, but stumbled upon the sight of you in Marc's arms. Misinterpreting the situation, Hector assumes that there is something more between you and his friend.
His face darkens as he witnesses the affectionate gesture between you and Marc. A pang of jealousy and anger shoots through him, but he stands there frozen, trying to make sense of what he's seeing.
His mind starts to spin with doubts and insecurities. "Is this why she's been so distant lately?” he wonders. "Has she been spending time with Marc behind my back?"
It suddenly hits him that you were just friends with benefits. He had no claim over you, and you were free to date anyone you wanted.
Regret washes over him as he realizes that he should have made his feelings clear earlier before it was too late. He imagines you and Marc together, happy and in love, and the thought pains him, and a surge of hate towards his childhood friend Marc surfaces subconciously.
TO BE CONTINUED...
part 2!
