M..what do u mean by Mary x Walburga....

I'm so glad u asked !!!!! 0:)

So it's basically in the same universe as the prev mary posts and um in her "rise to power (?)" After pandora leaves but before she goes to uni. she gets asked out by one v confused Sirius bc james got to shaboink lily and now he has no bro to no homo w so he goes to mary at like the begining of the yezr and mary HATES sirius black like acc wants to beat him up w baseball bats and rip his hair out bc he's litr everything she wants to be but wo even trying BUT u kno the saying...keep ur friends close nd ur enemies closer so she dates him and ngl its kinda fun ?? Like it's all v performative (u kno those hs couples that are so lovey dovey on sm and in school but barely u know..talk?? Thats them)

and it's fun bc mary gets some of her like social points redeemed after the pamdora incident bc now she's dating the coolest boy in school!! Ev as all good (?) Things do the rlnship ends mainly bc sirius realized that he isn't rlly doing anything 4 mary as in he isn't acc fooling her into thinking he cares which is no fun and in fact he realizes SHES using him as much as HES using her so it ends and mary has So. Much. Fun shittalking sirijs and like posting slightly ominous sm posts and imm like dates the football cap or smth to show EVERYONE she doesn't care (this is however a catholic school so some ppl, even tho mary doesnt rlly do pda/sleep w the bfs, view her as umm a slut? Whcih makes her sad b7t she forces herself to Not Care)

And umm ev the more she starts thinking abt it the more she gets mad bc .. maybe instead of fixing her rep this ruined it even more? And so she's seething bc sirius unknowingly or not has taken something away from her again ... time to take smth from him!!!

But !! Remember how they started dating at the beginning of the yr? Guess who became seat buddies !! (Ik im overusing this conspet but shh) and they have a group project and it's alr halfway thru when they breakup so they still have to do it tght and sirius refuses to enetr marys "poor ass home" and Mary's like "suits me !! :) (>:] )" and then they enter the manor and mary starts plan bagging walburga she starts going to his home early while he's still out and looks up oldmoney hairstyles and traditions and once sidihs invited her over for dinner after they fin working (lowk did it to embarass her) but she did her homework so she knew all the ettiquete and she wears one specific strawberry lotion and perfume and starts spraying it a bit around the excuse to remind walburga of her and she starts on purpose making her eyes wide and voice breathy but when she realizes walburga doesn't like that she makes herself strong and arrogant (?) And is just customizing her personality like it's the sims and stuff and in general pulling out all the stops (she kinda accidently seduces orion but hes like "ew." So she doesnt engage)

It takes a loooong time btw but ev walburga starts enjoying (?) Mary's company don't get me wrong she doesn't do anything IMM abt it but she starts giving small chitchat which turns into lingering glances which turns into small touches which leads to LINGERING touches which leads to THEM SHABOINKING ON WALBURGAS BED AND GOING AT IT FOR LIKE 6 ROUNDS

Kidding !!! They both lowk hate meaningless sex

There's a more pressing matter tho and that's walburgas boy momness (?) Mary and srs started out as like dtating wc walburga did not like so she demonized mary in her head for taking away her sweet precious boy(even tho she found out abt their rlnship like a wk after they broke up) but Sirius keeps acting out and causing scenes and well she childishly wants to get back at him (?idk man im sorry?) Bc even tho marys like poor she still has etiquette and is knowledgeable and is wide-eyed and cunning and she acc reminds walburga of her in her youth and well.....how could she NOT be interested in her

But that's all it is..interest. after the project ends walburga tactfully approaches Sirius abt mary when she's coming or if she would like to join for dinner and sirius argues w walburga abt it bc they're LITR exes (u kno those tiktoks where its like they broke up but the fam loves the ex so they still come over for finners and stuff) but he goes to mary anyways and she's like !!yay!! Plan worked BUT she wants walburga to b just a lil teensy eensy winsy binsy desperate so she pretends she has hw or class or anything rlky (she goes to like some of the invitations but not all) and somehow mafymacdonald has managed to get walburga black interested (w the italics this time)

Ev mary goes to undergrad (dk how uni works srry) wc is still in the area and it's a good school so sorta closer to the black family home than b4 and walburga is antsy bc sirius is gone regulus is gone orion is cheating or drunk and most of the family has demonized her bc of the loss of the heir (theyre just jealous tho) and she starts wondering abt the nice polite girl w the strawberry perfume so she pulls some strings and finds her address and sends her a letter to dinner

Now mary is v much busy w undergrad school (she hasnt yet Healed) so she pretty much forgets abt her ploys to seduce walburga bc ykno what's the point? There's not much status to gain from it so y would she bother?

But she still goes anyways and remembers to wear the strawberry lotion and retreads the invitation and refractive her ettiquete and goes to the home and finds....walburga alone? Theres no orion no regulus no Sirius and she wasn't expecting them but then it's like...it's walburga !! ALONE ??!!!! she invited her to dinner herself !???!!!! OMG

So the catchup and mary is so pleased fo see walburga and they talk (dk whzt abt tho cus im not cool enuff srry)

And once again bear w me cus idk what happens next BUT they grow closer and closer till they're having dinner everyday and mary finds it so fun bc 1) walburga litr just talks abt how she was when she was younger or some stupid things 2) walburga is now looking at her 3) walburga offers to let her stay at her house

And the rlnship itself while not Good isn't Bad like walburga lowk looks down on mary for having 2 work for her grades or marys accent or smth and mary realizes this and changes it and walburgas like wait no it was endearing. And walburga loves mary bc she sympathizes w her And understands her and doesn't demonize her (or smth)

Walburga takes mary on these expensive ass trips she would have taken w orion but she just takes mary instead and leaves orion and she loves treating mary like a porcelain doll and mary loves someone like reverring her like she's a goddess or smth and I don't think they have sex sex but walburgas fave pastime is adiring mary and letting mary admire her (im srs bro they strip down and stare at each other for like 3hrs like its a cult) and it's so weird bc they also have that tr x protégé thing going on and walburga does Not Like it when mary spends her time doing things w other ppl (bc thats how she lost sirius) so mary grows further from her friends and walburga doesn't like some parts of mary (her loudness primarily) and doesn't say it directly but mary cuts out the pieces wwlburga doesn't like till there's nothing left

And mary thinks she's the one in control bc she shittalks orion and boom he's out the fam she shit talks regulus and waburga suddenly Hates him (always did but now its alot more) shittalks Sirius and...walburgz cries

ALSO mary has not met her mom so her mother (not mommy) kink is being fulfilled (should probably expand on this more hut im tired)

Umm anyways ev mary passes undergrad and one big problem is that she got accepted to her dream grad school (Healing arc coming soon) and the prblm is that it's so far away and walburga does NOT lik this so when the letter comes she tries hiding it from mary but mary alr got the email and when she realizes walburga hid the letter on one hand she's angry bc duh but on the other hand she's like "you hid my letter? 🥺🥺Bc u didnt want me to leave? 🥺🥺You love me?🥹🥹"

But she goes anyways and Heals and doesn't rrly keep in touch w walburga bc walbutga HATES technology but mary writes some letters to her and ev she dates the girl.... heals ...yada yada ...gets run over by pandoras truck yada yada

and walburga has been stalking like marys uni so when she sees this news she doesn't kill herself BUT she does fall v ill and dies and when ppl found her willshe gave EVERYTHING? to mary and even added a piece where she said she wanted her heart carved out of her to be given to mary and the ppl were like ?? Marys litr dead?? What?? And also why did she wanna give this much money to mary?? But the mosey just goes to sirijs cus he's heir or whatevs

And sirius is like ??? Bc him and mary acc made up in grad school bc they were in the same STEM dep ?? Why is mary getting his inheritance...then he realizes and he's like "wtf"

But he goes and fucks his bf (james) and yeah :|

I wonder if Odysseus thought Calypso was going to be like Circe and back off after he said he had a wife.

In “There Are Other Ways”, Circe is trying to force herself onto Odysseus. But once he says “I can’t! Back at home, my wife awaits for me. She's my everything, my Penelope. And she's all my power, all my power.” She begins to back off, she respects that he is married and clearly doesn’t reciprocate Circe’s lust. She actually helps him!!

But in “Love In Paradise” when Calypso asks who Penelope is, and is told that she is Odysseus’s wife, she goes silent for a moment and then changes the topic. She doesn’t even acknowledge what Odysseus just said, and then a few moments later she’s saying “Soon, into bed we'll climb and spend our time” and right before that, she called him “My love”.

Odysseus tries to tell her “I’m not your man” but she keeps pushing it. Eventually he gets tired of her ignoring his pleas and snaps when she says “mine, all mine” about him. His response is ; “Hell no, I could kill you where you stand. I'm no pet, I'm a married man.”

But Calypso just doesn’t stop. She makes it clear that she has power over him by informing Odysseus she’s a goddess.

Odysseus noticeably diflates at this. He realizes she’s not going to be like Circe and back off. She’s a god, and gods have never given Odysseus mercy, they do what they want without considering others.

homura (after a whole movie dedicated to the mechanisms of her inner psyche and set in a world that is literally her subconscious, populated by little dolls that are the manifestation of her emotions and self-hatred, after a whole movie where we get to see that she loves and cares for her friends and above all she deeply loves madoka, after the most heartbreaking scene in the history of anime where she realises madoka never wanted to sacrifice herself, after sacrificing herself to try and keep madoka’s wish alive anyway and keep her safe from the incubators, after being saved by madoka and feeling undeserving of it yet again, after finally giving up on trying to preserve madoka’s wish and creating a universe in which madoka can be happy and her friends too and the incubators eat shit, after showing how much she hates herself for it): i’m evil! i’m a demon! i’m evil incarnate!

people: yeah that checks out, homura is evil.

Idk if this is controversial, but I DESPISEEEEE Okazaki. I find them so unbelievably annoying. They are such a nuisance. I know thats kinda the point of their story at the moment, (that they are unapologetically and disgustingly cruel) The fact that they treat Wada the way they do just for fun is so absolutely, stupidly, overwhelmingly annoying. (Like I said, I know thats the point.) Holding out hope that they are the killer this chapter, honestly. (They probably arent, but a girl can dream.)

I actually really do like how they are written and the direction their writing is going. In the first two chapters, they were off-putting, but not overtly insane. This chapter, their cruelty shines with no remorse. I may dislike them, but they are undeniably interesting.
