#I am so completely convinced it could not possibly have happened and I must be making it up

It is NOT the time for me to look into that type of abuse that I go "that is something I really should research idek what the acronym stands for" and then promptly get distracted and forget about - unlike any other type of trauma stuff I think about where I more often will become fixated because mental health is a special interest of mine. That is v not normal behavior for me, but you know what it is?
That is big system speak for: babes you absolutely don't wanna know this don't make me take the memories of this from you š„° which I will do if you look it up š„°š„°š„°
But... I'm curious. I wanna know what those terms mean both to be more educated and bc it's sus that I keep forgetting every single time I say "I need to look into this".
Also because we have a very random very specific trigger with extremely detailed memories associated that I am convinced?? Did not happen?? But my delusions aren't like that?? And also every time I remember it I either have an immediate panic attack or have those memories ripped away from me (why yes I did forget the details of that memory partway through typing this sentence I just vaguely remember the name associated with it). So maybe I am wrong about that not having had really happened. If so this could absolutely be related. But like?? This could not have happened to me. Right?
Rip this is gonna hurt isn't it?
#will likely completely forget about this#in like 5 minutes or less#because before I can look into it I have to take my heart meds#and I can bet that will be the end of me remembering this#really not emotionally stable enough for it anyway tbh#but now that it's on the blog I will have a reminder to check into it sometime#btw if I find out this is a thing#there is a high probability I will never speak of it#because you see#I am so completely convinced it could not possibly have happened and I must be making it up#But I did not ever make it up#wouldn't I know if I made up a story like this?#It is v specific it's not a normal artificial memory if you even believe in those#I do not know if I want to know the answers to any of these questions#sysblr#system#system problems#tw trauma#cw trauma#did system#osdd system#system stuff#actually dissociative#actually traumatized#mibingo#mibingo vent#idk if this fits the vent tag

*Jamil stared at the scene in horror and disbelief. In front of him was Kalim, drenched in his own pool of blood, with MC holding the dagger they had used to kill him.
*The Scarabia students were rendered speechless, not knowing what to do.*
Scarabia student A: C-Call a teacher!
*All of them scrambled out of their seats, wanting to escape that place. Soon, everyone had left except for MC and Jamil.*
Jamil: ...
Jamil: Why did you kill him... I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO KILL HIM!!!
MC: This was your desire, master. Are you not satisfied? *gives him an eerie smile*
Jamil: *an indescribable feeling washed over him, and he fainted soon after*
Professor Crewel: Viper! VIPER!
Jamil: !!!
Professor Crewel: *lets out a sigh of relief*
Jamil: Wh-Where am I...? *then remembers what happened earlier*
Jamil: Kalim! What happened to Kalim?!
Professor Crewel: Calm down. Al Asim is in the laundry room, getting the dye out of his clothes.
Jamil: Huh...?
MC: Iām sorry; I didnāt know you would pass out. I should have been more careful.
Jamil: ...
Professor Crewel: You caused a complete panic in Scarabia with your performance. Even the headmage was nearly convinced.
MC: That was made possible by Jamil, who gave me the reaction I needed. *smiles*
Jamil: ...
MC: *volunteered to accompany Jamil back to his dorm*
MC: Iād like to apologize again for disrupting your plans. You must be quite frustrated.
Jamil: ...
Jamil: What you did... it was meant as a warning, wasn't it?
MC: No, I merely presented a possible outcomeā
MC: āof what could have happened if it failed.
Jamil: ...
Kalim: THAT WAS AMAZING!!! I WANNA DO IT AGAIN!
MC: ...
MC: For someone who's been through so many assassination attempts, you seem awfully enthusiastic about it.
MC: I thought you'd be upset.
Kalim: Haha! Maybe because it was fake!
Kalim: Actually, I enjoyed lying in that pool of fake blood!
MC: *chuckles* Would you like me to give you the ingredients and steps for making it?
Kalim: *grins* Yes! Can we do it now?
MC: Of course.
Vil: ...
Rook: What's on your mind, Roi du Poison?
Vil: ...
Vil: I'm convinced MC didn't do this just to create a teaching tool for the club members.
Rook: *amused smirk*
Rook: I agree. The execution was flawless, and everyone's reaction was genuine fear.
Vil: ...
Vil: Now I'm curious what Jamil did to deserve that.
Rook: *smiles*
Rook: We will never know.
Jamil: ...
Jamil: *remembers MC's eerie smile*
Jamil: I hope that wouldn't give me nightmares...

rings of power men | love languages
warning(s): i am going to cry, i need to marry (at least!) one of them
author's note: these are once again based on this post
-.-.-
Elrond
words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, acts of service, gifts - everything
This Barbie man can and will do it all. If you ever asked him, he could not possibly pick what his favorite way of showing you affection is. He wants to write poems about your beauty, to touch your soft skin, to spend eons in your delightful company under the shining stars, to gather every lovely flower to adorn your hair and shower you in gold and gems that match your brilliance, all at the same time. He will probably manage to do it too.
Gil-galad
quality time, physical touch
Quality time spent in complete privacy is a rare gift given his position, so the High King treasures it above all, especially whilst in your company. Even in silence, he finds solace in your love and what greater proof is there of his, than his willingness to split himself in half if that is what it takes to serve both you and his kingdom? He is not a particularly touchy person, so you certainly will not find him glued to your side at all times, but once in private, he is a very passionate lover.
Celebrimbor
gifts, quality of time, gifts! so many gifts!
You will be showered with gifts of all kinds, especially in the beginning of your relationship. He does not know any other way to express himself so anything that comes to mind, he will send your way; rare fruits and teas, expensive fabrics, books, and, once he feels a bit more comfortable in showing off his skills, dozens of jewelry, weapons, trinkets. Anything that comes to mind when he thinks of you, he will happily craft with astounding care to detail and deliver it to you himself so he can see the glee on your face when you receive it. When you are properly together, you might convince him to lessen the frequency and spend the time with you instead; sipping warm tea and sitting together on the balcony. He is very agreeable to that.
Arondir
acts of service
You could ask Arondir to climb up in the skies of Arda and bring you back the moon and he will not hesitate. There is very little he would not do to ensure your happiness and those are things you would not ask of him either way. He is also very keen on anticipating your needs before you can express them. Always bringing you food and water, or packing you warm clothes. He must be thinking about you all the time, because every beautiful flower he happens upon is to be picked, every trinket that catches his eye purchased with you in mind, until your hands, and home, and heart are full.
Elendil
acts of service, physical touch, gifts
His first and foremost love language is serving you in any way imaginable. Whether it be with his sword, his ship, or his love. There is none more loyal and he proves it every day. Your wish is his command and your happiness his only concern. Once affection is established between you, he will not hesitate to be more physical with you as well; always touching you some place with his sea-worn hands in the few moments of privacy you have together. When you are kept apart, he will bring you gifts from the faraway lands he travels to and write you letters you cannot receive, but which you may read when he returns and know there was not a moment he was not thinking of you.
Valandil
words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time
He may be no poet, but it is easy enough to find the words when he is looking at you. He might share a few of his thoughts in person, but quickly becomes too embarrassed and chooses to write them down for you instead, so they might hold you company while he is sailing in the cruel seas. He writes of the sensual way the moon reflects off your skin when you make love on your favorite beach, the feeling of your hair in his fingers when it's drenched in saltwater and the way it tastes on his tongue. He simply cannot wait to do it again.
Isildur
physical touch
Please touch this boy, for that is what he becomes in your presence. A sweet boy with large brown eyes, begging to be touched at every opportunity and showered with the love you so willingly provide. When you are together, he always has to be touching you in some way, whether it be holding your hand, or laying his head in your lap, or even letting your knees graze each other when in the tavern with the others. Show him affection and he will return it thousandfold.
-.-.-
bonus:
Adar
acts of service, gifts
The Uruk-father considers you his most glorious conquest, his most precious possession. He is not eager to lose you and will therefore do anything to ensure your safety and happiness by his side. You will want for nothing, for it will all be delivered to you before you might even come to need it. What is most enticing of all he has to offer, however, is the absolute devotion and adoration that only he can show you.

siren song || - xavier thorpe
requested: yes! requests: open! second part of siren song! the third part is also out, check my masterlist! ^^
A/N: thank you for the love on siren song! to read part one, click here! i hope you enjoy this part <3 i had to rewrite this considering i accidentally deleted it :')
wordcount: 4.736 warnings: xavier being a bad friend, curse words, slight memory loss, incorrect information about siren song probably, use of weed.
After finally convincing Bianca to use her Siren Song, you get some well-deserved peace in your head. How long does it take for Xavier to notice the changes?
"What?"
The question catches Bianca off guard, not something that happens a lot. Tears are staining your face as you sniff, trying to not start sobbing again.
"Hey, it's okay. Come in."
Her arm is placed on your shoulders as she guides you into her room, placing you on her bed before grabbing her desk chair, sitting next to you.
"What has gotten you so upset?"
You look down at your hands, biting your cheeks as you nervously fiddle with your fingers. You feel embarrassed to sit here, crying in the dorm of your friend that used to be Xaviers girlfriend, but you didn't know anyone that would know how you feel. No one except for Bianca.
"I think Xavier hates me."
"What?" Bianca exclaims shocked. "Why do you think that?"
If there is one thing that Bianca was sure of, it was that Xavier is completely infatuated with you. Even during their relationship, he still made sure to spend some time with you, and Bianca never cared. She trusted both of you, as you became her friend when the relationship was going on. When the couple broke up, your friendship watered down a bit, but you were still both friendly.
"We just had a fight," you whisper. "He never yelled at me like that. Never."
She hands you a tissue, breathing in deeply.
"He has been ignoring me for weeks. He became so obsessed with Wednesday that he did not have any time for me. She- she asked him to the Rave'n and then he found out that she just used him," you ramble. "I asked him to come with me, not even as a real date, but just so he wouldn't be alone. And then he totally ditched me there the second Wednesday came in. The worst thing is, she doesn't even like him. She told me."
How stupid can a boy be? Bianca grits her teeth, shaking her head.
"He is dumb. If there is one thing that he should do, it's to get his head straight. I can't believe that he would do this. Especially after all you have done for him!"
"What if I just become more like Wednesday? I- I can braid my hair? I will even learn to play the cello. He- He said that she was better than me... That I just bother him. Am I too obsessed or- or annoying?"
Even Bianca's heart breaks at that point. The tears are rolling down your face again as you still don't dare to look up at her.
"Am I really that bad of a friend?"
"No!" Bianca immediately responds. "No, Y/N, if anything, you are a great friend. Too good for him. You don't need to be Wednesday to be better. I think she is too emotionless for her own good."
"I wish I was that way," you sigh. "Please, Bianca. If I tell you that I really want it, can you really not use your Song?"
Bianca takes a deep breath, her leg bouncing up and down. Her eyes fall down to the amulet around her neck. It is very against the rules to use her Siren Song, it is something that could get her in a lot of trouble. But, at the same time, she knows exactly how you feel. Xavier is just someone who deserves love, yet he doesn't know how to act around it when someone is literally handing it to him on a silver plate.
Her heart tells her to help you, to give you everything you deserve, but she knows that she also needs to think about the possible consequences. Though your grades have been slipping and your mood has been down for a while now as well. So many factors.
"Y/N, I really don't know."
"What if I consent to it? Surely that must be fine. I- I will sign a contract, even. Write it myself. I- Even only thinking about doing this for me would already be enough."
You must genuinely sound so annoying now, but you know that this will help.
"Why won't you try talking to Kinbott first?"
"I just need something... Something that will work immediately. A Siren Song can always be undone, right?"
"I'm not sure about that," Bianca grimaces. "It's hard, Y/N. I promise you that I will think about it. Just... Try and get some rest, okay?"
-
You had spent the rest of the weekend laying in bed, napping or reading, and sometimes you would head to the Quad to get something to eat. Kent made sure to try and cheer you up, which did work to an extent. You appreciate having a friend like that.
Even from the distance you sit at now, you can still see the figure of Wednesday Addams, sitting alone at her table while writing something down in her notebook. Ajax waves Xavier over to get him to sit at your table but is quickly rejected as the long-haired boy decides to sit with Wednesday. She looks up with the deadliest of looks, though it doesn't seem to phase him at all. Can't he see?
Bianca looks out from the second level of the Quad, spotting both you and Xavier. Not one word is exchanged, though your body language speaks for itself. Your shoulders are slumped and even though Kent tries his hardest to make you laugh, it isn't enough.
Seeing you so upset about someone who doesn't deserve it makes her feel bad. Even in her relationship, she felt like you were more important to Xavier, and that is something she just... Accepted. She never blamed you for it, as Bianca could never really trust Xavier either. But the feelings he has for you are totally real.
After that dinner, you retired back to your room. Yoko would be hanging out with Divina anyway. Just as you let yourself fall on your bed, you hear a knock on the door.
"Coming!"
You kick your bag underneath your bed before walking up to the door, opening it to reveal a Bianca behind it.
"I will only do it after you agree to all the consequences."
She walks in as you close the door behind her, trailing after her.
"You're serious?"
"You deserve to have some peace, Y/N. God knows I wish someone could have done this for me when I was in your situation. I will tell you every consequence," Bianca looks at you sternly. "And I have some conditions."
"Yeah- Yeah totally."
Bianca sits down at your desk, handing you a pen and paper.
"You are to write down that you agree with the Siren Song. I can't just use it whenever I want. Principal Weems will have my head if she finds out."
"Anything, Bianca."
You start writing, still listening to the siren as she explains everything.
"I can genuinely not say if I am able to undo the Song. There is a high likelihood that it will not return to you and Xavier being best friends. I also do not know what to do if this news ever reaches Weems. No one knows that we are planning to do this, no one except for us."
"I promise you, I will take all the blame," you nod, a weak smile on your face. "It is the least I can do."
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She looks at you, her eyebrows stuck in a frown. "It's not something small. You deserve much better than how Xavier acts now."
"I- Yeah. I thought about it all day yesterday. I just... I want to. I promise."
You hand her the paper in neatly written handwriting.
I, Y/N Y/L/N, fully consent to the use of the Siren Song by Bianca Barcley. I have willingly agreed to be under the influence of the song for as long as I wish. All punishments that are given for using the Siren Song are punishments I will take over. Bianca Barcley is not to be lectured nor punished for her actions.
Underneath it is your handwriting, together with the date of today. Bianca takes a deep breath, nodding as she reads it over and over again.
"What exactly... Is it that you want me to do? You just... Want to forget him?"
You nod.
"I was thinking that... I don't want to be scared of him, I just want to stay out of his way. If that makes any sense?"
"Xavier Thorpe will be the one you forget, from now on his name will stop sounding in your head," Bianca mutters, trying to practice whatever she will say. "Distance is something that you will keep, he will not be the reason as to why you... Weep?"
You will forget Xavier, make sure to keep your distance, and not cry over him. You do feel guilty for making Bianca use the Siren Song on you, but in your eyes, it feels like the only way out.
"I think you will just return to how it was before you met Xavier," she then nods. "I will try to make sure that you will not get too close to him again, but I can't promise anything. If you have feelings for him now, you might just... Start liking him all over again."
"I just need to forget," you say, handing the handwritten note to Bianca. "Thank you so much, Bianca."
"This might be the first time I feel guilty for using it," she laughs nervously. "But, you deserve it. Truly. Xavier just needs to get his act straight. He loves you, he's just dumb."
You don't fully believe her. You want to, but you can't. You truly thought that he liked you back, that he was also interested in you. But now you were not even sure if he liked you as a friend anymore.
"Ready? You will probably be sleepy after this."
Trembling hands and nervous sighs.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
Bianca nods, pulling the necklace off of her neck. She closes her eyes, holding your hands in hers.
"Xavier Thorpe will be the one you forget, from now on his name will stop sounding in your head. Distance is something that you will keep, he will not be the reason as to why you weep."
-
You had woken up with a slight headache. Your limbs are still sore from the Rave'n dance, but that can't stop you. Not that you remember a lot of it; they must have spiked the drinks. You pick up your bag from under the bed, emptying it out before filling it with everything you need for the day. After finally finding all your books, pens, and notebooks, you exit your room.
"Hi, guys!"
With a big smile, you greet your friends, plopping down in between Kent and Bianca. You had gotten a sandwich from the dining hall, trying to get some breakfast in before your first class.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," Kent snickers. "You're up before me most of the time."
You shrug, taking a bite of your sandwich.
"I was so tired," you mumble, wiping your mouth with the napkin. "I'm still sore from all the dancing!"
Ajax and Enid soon also join the table as Enid huffs.
"I feel like the paint is still in my hair," she complains. "I mean, it was a good post for my blog, but that dress was my favorite dress ever! "
You let out a chuckle, closing the sandwich container before placing the leftovers in your bag. Yes, the paint was a pain to get out of your hair and your dress has also been stained, but the rest of the evening went splendidly.
After fifteen minutes, the first bell rings, signaling that classes are to start in only five minutes. You sling your backpack onto your back before standing up from the table.
"You ready for Botany?" Bianca smirks.
"Well," you sigh. "Can I use your notes? I can't find any of mine from the last three weeks. I don't know what I did during class, but I know that there is a test coming up and this is not my best subject."
Bianca's smile falters for a second, realizing that you really don't remember a lot about Xavier anymore.
"Yeah, you can sit with me. Might be the easiest anyway."
You nod, entering the class as you greet miss Thornhill. She had already placed some strange plants in the front of the classroom as other students slowly entered the classroom.
Some students already picked a spot, including Wednesday. She is placed next to another person, hair to his shoulders and a frown on his face.
"Good morning, Wednesday!"
You sit down on the opposite side of Bianca as she and the boy sit between you and Wednesday.
He feels familiar. It is almost like he was in a dream. Like you accidentally bumped into him once or twice, only seeing him in your classroom once in a while. It's like the lingering smell of perfume when someone walks past you, or when you see a half-erased line of pencils on a page. He is mesmerizing, yet extremely intimidating. It is almost like you can't rip your eyes off of him, but you are also too scared to keep looking.
Bianca gives you a look before placing her notebook in front of you, making sure that you can read all of it as Thornhill starts talking. You try to write down all she says, making small sketches of the flowers and plants she shows while also trying to write down all the notes from the last few weeks.
"Alright, so, I will be expecting the essays about the Ghost Orchid and at least two more carnivorous plants. No maximum amount of words, but at least 450 words per plant."
Thank God for Bianca's notes. Without those, you would have actually failed this.
"I think I'm going to be doing my homework in the Nightshade library," you whisper to the girl. "I really need to get started on this."
After writing down the last few sentences, you drop your pen. Your hand is cramping from all the writing and your fingers are covered in ink. Only Biology and one hour of fencing left and after that, you were going to sit with the Choir Club, even though you're not a member. You would often hang out with them, sitting on a bench nearby while waiting for your friends to finish. You yourself were actually in the Art Club, but you tend to hang out with other clubs on days that you didn't have any.
A small break after Botany, just long enough to grab a hot drink from the dining hall before getting dressed in your fencing suit again.
"Bianca? You want to team up?"
She raises an eyebrow, smirking while grabbing a saber, switching it from hand to hand.
"I thought you would never ask."
"I can use some competition. And improvement."
Bianca won. Not once, not twice, but five times. You groan as you end up on the floor again, the tip of the saber pointing to your chest. You hold up your hand before pushing yourself up.
"We get it," you let out a laugh before pulling the mask off of your head. "I'm going to need a break."
She holds out her hand, helping you get up before taking her own mask off. The two of you walk towards one of the small wooden benches that sit against the wall of the room, grabbing a bottle of water before cracking it open, and taking big sips.
Everyone else is still training, the clanking of sabers and the sound of shoes against the mats filling up the classroom. You let out a big sigh, pushing some strands of hair out of your face.
"I don't know if I will ever fight you again," you mumble.
"You're getting better," Bianca laughs, closing the bottle back up. "I have seen worse."
You look at everyone around you, some also taking off their masks to catch their breath as Coach walks around, giving out tips and advice where needed.
The boy with the long hair is here again, yet you still don't know where you know him from. Bianca sneakily looks at you, blinking before looking at Xavier. He acted like you weren't even there as he just fenced against Ajax. She does still think the two of you fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, but Xavier first needs to figure himself out. She knows he likes you; it is clear as day. But as long as he acts like this, he doesn't deserve you. Not at all.
Has he always just been in the background? It is like a ghost, you know that you have seen him, yet you don't know where or when.
"One more round?"
-
"I think I'll be heading to the library now," you tell Bianca. "I genuinely don't know what happened these last few weeks, but I am behind on all my homework."
Half of the Choir Club time has passed as they rehearsed their songs for Outreach Day. They were to perform when the new statue in the town square was going to be revealed. But you had more than enough homework to do.
"I might join you later," she sighs. "Some quiet would be nice."
You tell your friends goodbye before slinging your bag over your shoulder, hurrying down the Quad and into the small hidden hallway leading to the Poe statue. With two snaps you get in, making sure that the entrance is closed off again before going down the stairs.
Nice and quiet.
After around forty-five minutes, you hear some more rumbling. Ah, Bianca must be here. You have gotten a lot of work done, actually. The Ghost Orchid part of your essay is already done, now moving on to the Crimson Pitch plant.
"Hey, Bianca!"
The footsteps descend the stairs, but the figure does not belong to Bianca. The tall guy with long hair walks into the library, the one that felt like he lived somewhere in your memory. Your eyes grow big as you immediately throw everything back in your bag. You didn't know that he was a Nightshade as well.
You close your bag hurriedly. Something about him is so intimidating, but he is absolutely mesmerizing at the same time. Why are you so afraid of him? When walking out you accidentally bump into him.
"Sorry," you quickly mumble, running up the stairs before he can even reply.
Bianca is cleaning up when you get out of the library, so you run up to her. Luckily she is still there.
"Can I do my homework in your room? Yoko was inviting some friends to my dorm and..." You look around, making sure no one is around them. "That guy showed up again. The new one."
Bianca clenches her teeth, grabbing the last few papers before stuffing them in her bag, taking your arm to take you up into her room. She can't have Xavier mess this all up. You haven't been this happy in weeks.
You sit down against her bed, laptop on your lap as you are typing away. But the words are getting stuck, the same sentence being rewritten multiple times before finally getting one that slightly makes sense.
"Is he new?"
Bianca turns around on her chair, looking at you.
"Who?"
"The guy with long hair. He was in the Nightshade library. I- I didn't know if he was supposed to be in there because I wasn't sure if he was in our group."
Why does he have to be there at the exact same time as you? It almost makes the Siren Song useless. You might avoid him as much as you can, but he isn't under the spell.
"He's new."
"He's kinda pretty."
Bianca scoffs.
"Pretty weird. It might be best to stay out of his way, he needs to work on himself before making new... friends."
-
Xavier groans, dropping his bag on the floor. You had been fully ignoring him, but to be fair, he totally deserved it. He had noticed you sneaking into the library and his plan was to try and talk to you, but you had fled before he could get one word in.
He had called Ajax, asking him to come down to the library as soon as he could. Xavier spent some time sitting in the room, biting on his lips while bouncing his leg up and down. He really, really fucked up.
Rumbling of stones and footsteps.
Ajax shows up, slightly out of breath. He had ran here from his dorm. Xavier said that there was a big problem and if he was needed in the Nightshade library, it would probably be huge.
"What's up, man?"
"I fucked up," Xavier runs his hands over his face. "Like, really bad."
The Gorgon frowns, looking at his friend. Xavier looks stressed out, more than usual. His hair is messy, his eyes are red and he has big eyebags underneath his eyes.
"What did you do?"
The artist breathes in shakily, pacing around the room while fiddling with his hands.
"I have been a total asshole to Y/N," he mumbles. "I left her at the Rave'n, drenched in that paint, and then she went up to visit me. I wasn't only a horrible date, but I was an even worse friend."
"Xavier?" Ajax asks yet again. "What did you do?"
Xavier breathes out roughly, blinking while pursing his lips. He is too ashamed to say it, but he needs to tell someone. He needs someone to set him straight.
"I treated her like shit. I told her Wednesday was better than she is."
His friend gasps, looking at his friend almost disgusted. How could he have said that to her? After all those nights of the artist hanging out in Ajax's dorm, him smoking some weed while listening to his friend blabber on about how much he liked you, and then he does this?
"What the fuck? Xavier, you have liked her for years, why would you say that?!"
Xavier rubs his eyes. If anyone is disappointed, it's him. He was so in his head that he took it all out on you. Wednesday isn't better than you. He has liked you for the longest time now, and this just messed it all up. Xavier his mental health has been declining, especially now that he is also suspected of being some type of monster. But that isn't your fault. None of it is. You have always, always been there for him, and he just swept you to the side.
"I'm going to be honest, dude," Ajax looks at his friend. "I am really disappointed in you."
"As you should be," Xavier whispers.
"I'll help."
Xavier looks up, kind of shocked. For some reason, he expected Ajax to just abandon Xavier in the library, leaving him to fend for himself.
"Only if you promise to never do this again. Go to Kinbott more, try and talk about your feelings. Y/N never cared, you could show up crying at her dorm at three am and she would make sure that you're fine before she even thinks of going to sleep."
"Ajax- Thank you so much."
"Yeah, yeah. Just try to talk to her. I'm serious, Xavier. You might be my best friend, but this is not cool."
-
For the last two weeks, Xavier had tried to talk to you on multiple occasions. He even sat at your table, though Kent and Bianca were hovering around you, not even letting Xavier get one word in.
During Botany he tried to draw a butterfly, making it float in the air before it quickly gets swatted away by Bianca who just gives Xavier a disgusted stare.
During Fencing he walked up to you, wanting to ask you to train with him like you usually did, but you quickly darted away once you saw him coming for you.
He went down to the Nightshade library to wait for you, yet you never came.
What he did do was 'accidentally' bump into you. He would calculate when he had to stand up to go to class. The first thing you would put in your bag was your notebook, followed by your pencil case. After that you would close the zipper; his sign to stand up. After swinging the bag on your shoulder, you would walk off.
You accidentally bump into someone's back, making the bottle of water that they had in their hand fall.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
As you go to pick it up and give it back, you see the boy again. The boy that appeared in your dreams as if they were faint memories. The boy reminded you of ink splatters and the smell of freshly painted walls.
You quickly hand him the bottle, excusing yourself before finding your way to a picnic table again. He makes you nervous, and you don't know in what way. Bianca warned you for him, so all you could do was listen.
In your room, you had a collection of handwritten notes, asking you to meet up in the Nightshade library. You never did. Once you showed them to Bianca, she immediately shook her head.
-
"I don't know what else to do," Xavier furrows his eyebrows, "She just doesn't want to talk to me. I don't blame her for not wanting to, but sometimes she even completely ignores me. As if she doesn't even know my name. I tried everything."
Ajax takes a hit of his joint, his eyes tinted red before he blows it out of the window. The moon is lighting up Nevermore, its stars shining around it.
"Everything?"
"Yeah," Xavier responds. "I tried to talk to her, give her notes, even accidentally bumped into her. But, Bianca and Kent are just acting like bodyguards to her."
"If you want, I can try to talk to her tomorrow."
"You would do that?"
"Yeah," the Gorgon shrugs. "She still talks to me sometimes. Hanging out in the Quad after classes. I'll let you know how it went."
-
"Y/N! Hey!"
Ajax runs up to you, a big smile on his face before he pulls his beanie back down.
"Ajax! It is nice to see you again."
"What are your plans for today?"
Hm, what were your plans? You did really want to go to the Weathervane to get a drink, but considering it is a Thursday, you weren't too sure. There are no shuttle buses today, and walking in the chilly weather for twenty-five minutes didn't sound too appealing.
"I have some homework I still need to do. I was thinking of going to the Nightshade library to study. Want to join?"
The boy eagerly shakes his head, following you through the hall and down the stairs. The small table gets filled with books, pens, and notebooks. Ajax didn't really take a lot of homework, but he did provide some snacks.
The two of you talked about all different types of things. How he was planning on asking out Enid, how you expected Outreach Day to go, which homework you were doing, and much more.
"Can I maybe ask you something personal?"
You hum, looking up from your paper.
"Of course."
"I was just wondering," he awkwardly laughs. "What happened at the Rave'n?"
"I have no idea," you shrug. "I think there were some Normies who set off the sprinklers. All I know is that my dress is still stained and that, whatever it was, really burned my eyes."
Ajax frowns, what are you talking about?
"Yeah, no, I was there. One beanie destroyed," he chuckles. "But I meant more like... After the Rave'n. What happened?"
It is your turn to be confused.
"Well... I showered, tried to wash the stains out of my clothes, and then hung out with Bianca."
Do you just really not remember?
"What? No, Y/N, I mean... What happened with you and Xavier?"
Even more confusion spreads on your face as you put your pen down on the paper. What is he talking about? All you did was dance, drink punch, took a break, danced more, and then went to clean yourself from the sticky red paint. And who is he talking about?
"Who is Xavier?"

ā¹ learning to take what is yours in your mind
assumptions, beliefs and acceptanceąæ
"You have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth of that which you desire to see manifested.-Ā Neville"
"I am asking you to believe your Imagination is Real" + "Chances are you truly are NOT giving yourself what you want because you feel some ''impossibly'' in it. Forget that. All things are possible in the Imagination. Do it anyway. Just do it. Do what? What you deeply want. Do you for only you, you Inner Self." - Edward Art
Your Imagination is your real reality. In Imagination you can claim to be or have anything you want, simply because you wanted and then decided you have it already. Since everything is already created in Imagination, every desire you could think of already exists, and it's already yours. What you assume you have or are within is always reflected by the outerworld.
Acceptance of a desire does not have to do with accepting something in the 3d, but with a inner conviction of having what you want in the real reality, 4d, Imagination. This does not means you cannot doubt it, it means that even if you doubt, you still will get it because you decided if you persist in having.
If you still think it's hard to assume something new to yourself, it's probably because you did not understood yet that Imagination is the only reality, and that what you see in the outer world is but a reflection of your Imagination. Everything starts within, as within, so without. Your goal is be IN IMAGINATIONĀ ONLY.
āMaking things, changing things, creating things, it's not your goal. Your goal is change the feeling of "I", fulfilling Self in Imagination only.
1. I remember my only goal is to BECOME the one I want to be IN IMAGINATIONĀ ONLY. 2. Ā I think about something I want to be, anything. Then I assume I AM that IN IMAGINATION, and in Imagination I can be all things. 3. When I say the words, āI AMā I am not speaking about this outer-body but the Inner Man. The Inner Man to me is I AM and I know that all I must change is I AM to change my life. 4. I accept that I AM that Inner Man EXPERIENCING in present tense what I desire. - EdwardArt
How to assume?
'by believing the thing you want already exists in your life'
Assume -> to believe thatĀ somethingĀ is true, even though no one has told you or even though you have no proof [no evidence in 3d]. Acceptance of an idea, even if there's no evidence.
"you will have faith that what you are stating, though there is no outward evidence to support it, is a fact in consciousness"
"Their faith was their great expectancy, their inner feeling [knowing], their inner conviction that something miraculous would happen, and that their prayer would be answered, and it was"
"faith is always a decision. No one can force you to believe in anything. The choice is yours."
Belief -> an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof [of 3d].
There is only oneĀ way to believe somethingĀ truly and completely: Take action as if it is true, regardless of lack of evidence, doubts, fears, etc (...) = DECISION.
Acceptance -> agreement with or belief in an idea, the action ofĀ consentingĀ to receive orĀ undertakeĀ something offered. A person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it.
ā Accept that you have what you want in Imagination.
"Your inner acceptance must become an intense, unalterable conviction which transcends both reason and intellect, renouncing entirely any belief in the reality of the externalization except as a reflection of an inner state of consciousness." - Neville Goddard
What do you want? Dare to appropriate it, dare to actually appropriate the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
feeling = knowing | feeling of the wish fulfilled -> knowing your wish is fulfilled in Imagination because you decided, then It's done.
"you determine what you want in this world [decide], and you go right into that state [wish fulfilled]. And then ignore the facts[ignore 3d, BE in 4d] Suppose the facts now still deny what you didā¦it doesnāt matter, let the facts remain [it's done, persist in your assumption], theyāll dissolve." - Neville
+ methods (visualizing, affirming, listening to subs, etc) are just TOOLS to make yourself REMEMBER (feel/know) you have your desire.
+ READ -> Imagine as if there was not outside world. It is just you and your wonderful imagination. [how to feel]
"You cannot wait for the world to change to what you want. You must change what you are and have in Imagination. If you are tired of what your world is reflecting, you can be confident it will keep reflecting that until you change YOU inside your Consciousness. This calls for radically giving yourself what you desire IN Consciousness." - Edward Art
ā” "Stop telling me what you don't want and tell me what you ARE."

pt.2 is out!
"Could you rail me?"
That's not something Megumi expects to hear at 10 p.m. Especially coming from you.Ā
You're drenched - that's the first thing he notices. It's been raining the whole day, pouring even, making early autumn weather even gloomier than it usually is. You don't have an umbrella and the light jacket you put on yourself earlier in the morning looks completely out of place - it doesn't even have a hood to hide under. Or maybe it's not the jacket that feels off? Maybe that's just you.
You, the one who is always prepared. You, the one who is always put together. You, the one who, as far as he's concerned, should be in the cinema on a date with your boyfriend right now. A dickhead boyfriend, Megumi makes a mental note. He couldn't bring himself to like the guy, but as long as that idiot treated you right, he wasn't really in a place to say anything. But apparently, something has changed.Ā
"Could you rail me?"
Yeah, something has definitely changed.
Megumi doesn't really say anything as you get inside - your every movement is showing how furious you are, and itās not like Fushiguro's not used to people with bad temper, it's just you're not one of them. He's never seen you like this before and, combining the situation with that question youāve asked him twice, he's taken by surprise. That gets him thinking. Something must have happened, and judging by your face...
Then he notices. The smudged mascara, the barely visible traces on you cheeks, and your red, puffy, eyes.
You cried.
Megumi has seen you in various mental states, but never furious - and most importantly, never crying, so he couldn't possibly have any idea how seeing you like that would make him feel. He knows now.Ā
He'll kill him.Ā
"Come on, you need to take a hot shower, or you'll get sick", he finally says, his voice sounding surprisingly normal and calm. He's relieved - all these years of hiding his emotions and not letting them surface have at least some perks. Looking at your state, you need something - someone - to calm you down, and Megumi wonāt let himself lose control just over his imagination and groundless jealousy. You need to tell him what happened first.Ā
So when youāre finally out of the shower, your hair still damp, drowning in his cotton, black T-shirt, Megumi is waiting in the kitchen - and he needs you to speak.
āHe cheated on me.ā It falls from your lips, light as a feather, and these words do something to him. Something that could have very bad consequences. āWe broke up. But it doesnāt even hurt. Iā¦ I am so fucking stupid.ā Youāre not crying anymore - thereās a fire in your eyes that Megumi has never seen before.Ā
āHeās the one thatās stupid.ā That is probably the nicest adjective out of many others he has on his mind right now. He observes you carefully as you adjust yourself on a high hocker next to him.Ā
āNo, I am. Iā¦ā You sigh, hiding your face in your hands. āI didnāt cry because he broke my heart. Thatās the problem. He didnāt.ā Thatās a relief, but Megumiās still not convinced. His brows furrow, as heās trying to understand what exactly has happened. āI was crying because I donāt fucking understand myself.ā Your gaze suddenly jumps on him and the intensity of it makes him gulp. āThatās why I want you to rail me.ā Before he can form a coherent answer to that, you speak up again. āI think I have feelings for you. Romantic feelings. And that makes me a cheater, because I went into a relationship knowing that. Or at least suspecting that.ā
So many things Megumi didnāt expect to hear tonight.
He just stares at you, not sure, whether his heart is racing or itās completely stopped beating. Youāre blushing, but at the same time doesnāt look embarrassed. Despite that cute pink tone on your cheeks, you seem determined, and heās not sure what he should do about it.Ā
āOr you can say you wonātā, you suddenly speak up again. The eye contact is so intensive, to the point it physically hurts. āYou can say that and Iāll see if it breaks my heart. Itāll be easie-ā
āI wonāt rail you.ā It jumps out of him faster than heās able to process it, and his heart drops as your face turns pale.Ā
āOkay. It hurts. So this is a crush after all.ā You stand up suddenly and rush somewhere - his apartament isnāt big, but the embarrassment hits you like a truck and you just need to hide. Or die.Ā
āHow the fuck do you expect me to rail you?ā Nervousness in Megumiās voice makes you turn around. Heās got up from his seat as well, his worried expression long forgotten - now he just looks angry. āIāve had sex like three times before. Fuckā, he sighs, pinching his nose bridge. As if that ever helped somebody to focus. He doesnāt have any other options though. āJesus, (Y/N). You canāt just say these things like that. Why canāt you just likeā¦ say that you have a crush on me? At least Iād know how to answerā, Megumi murmurs and now youāre confused.Ā
He cannot comprehend the fact that you havenāt noticed. Everyone noticed. Itadori, Nobara, Gojo - everyone. Even he himself noticed. The gradual changes in your friendship, the staring, the smiles that cost him way more than anyone else, and yet he would give you them for free. The jealousy that came few months ago - with you being asked out, taken on dates, kissed. The irritation. And eventually, the nights where he would be so hard and frustrated, and the only cure seemed to be a memory of you. Of your skin. Of your touch. He was sure when your name left his lips that one particular night - he let his imagination run freely, and it sprinted to the point where he imagined it was your hand going up and down on his dick. He panicked a bit, that night. Your friendship was more valuable than anything else. He couldnāt risk it.Ā
So he endured.Ā
And now this?
Thatās not fair. You play dirty. You asked that fucking question three times and now heās sexually frustrated and stressed beyond whatās humanly possible. He tried so hard, gritted his teeth, tossed and turned - and you just destroyed everything.Ā
So when Megumi comes up to you to catch your face in his hands, you can feel his anger. And a million other things that convince you, that yes, Megumi Fushiguro could rail you without any doubt. He kisses you - and the kiss tastes like longing, like desperation, like something more, than just ālikingā. Likeā¦
āHe was firstā, he murmurs, as he pulls away, just millimetres, but enough to be able to say what he needs to say. His long, slender fingers rest on both sides of your face, the right thumb delicately brushing you cheek. A feeling completely different from that sudden kiss.
āWhat?ā You feel a bit hazy and so does he.
āAnd you were always so happyā¦ I just couldnātā¦ā, he mutters, running with his gaze when the embarrassment hits him. He curses himself for wearing that black sweater tonight, itās so hot he cannot stand it - especially when your hands land on his covered chest.
āI was happy because I was with you, you dumbass!ā You moan, and even though itās not sexual at all, Megumi canāt help but groan. You are intoxicating. āI thought you didnāt like meā¦ So I tried toā¦ā Youāre interrupted as he pulls you for another kiss, even more needy than the first one. And you suddenly forget what you wanted to say.
Megumi still remembers, but he needs you. If thatās a dream, then he just hopes heās not going to wake up. Luckily for him, the way his body reacts is more biological than ever and that gives him some hope.Ā
āYou tried toā¦?āĀ
āI tried to fall in love with someone else.āĀ
āYouāre stupid then.ā His lips travel down your neck as heās leaving slow, sensual kisses all over it. You grip tightens on his forearm, nails diving between the sweaterās weaves just to find his skin underneath. You had no idea Megumi could kiss like that, and when his fingers slide down your collarbone, you find out that you had no idea that he could touch you like that either. āIf you talked to me, weād save a lot of time.ā
āYou could have said something tooā, you whisper, and the combination of stress, anxiety and bliss makes your legs go weak. Luckily, Megumiās here, and his arm keeps you in place. āYou never say anything. And Iā¦ā A little whine interrupted you as his teeth grazed over your paper thin skin. āI donāt know how you feel.ā
āYou really canāt see it?ā
āI need you to say it. I can say it. Iām in love with you, Megumiā. Is it really your voice, or are the angels singing? He could swear he got the chills. āPlease.ā
Years of hiding. Years of not saying anything. Years of keeping his feelings hidden. All that, just for him to make a confession.
āIām in love with you, (Y/N).ā Itās shaky, itās soft and itās quiet, falling into your skin and melting into your soul - something you needed so desperately. And thatās enough.Ā
You need to see him, so you cup his face into your hands, and the picture leaves you in awe - his soft cheeks are flushed, blue eyes shining with desire. Itās so unlike him, and the fact that youāve actually managed to pull these words out of him shows how desperate he is.
āYou can let goā you whisper, before pulling him for another kiss. āDonāt overthink it. Justā¦ let go.āĀ
Who knows - he might rail you after all.Ā

Waddup B) . Another general reading
Pick an album ! -
1 2
3 4
1. Ice cube group
In da house!! Haha I feel like y'all in da energy of being bout yo money. Or the color green is significant. Shoot y'all might be about the green rn if u kno . This doesn't have to be a super conscious thing a lot of you either way though are in the energy of richness like that so you gonna be attracting money or it's because you're destined to be prosperous at this time or in the near future like that. For some of you it's because you're supposed to use that to help get rid of some form of negativity in the past some how. Others of you should consider getting a new pet if that will make your heart happy you know or confirmation if that's what u been thinking bout. Spirit wants you to make sure you're open to receiving at this time and in the future though cause some of you have an imbalance were you're a bit too humble maybe struggling with your own worth and self perception and this is making me feel sad so I'm really sorry and you guys need to maybe use your logic to conclude it's only the truth that you're a human with a good heart that deserves good things and anyone who ever told you other wise..... Is tripping like they're wrong and delusional and probably a hurt person anyway. If your childhood was bad you're manifesting a lot to replace stuff from all that time and make up for it and stuff and you all are just heavily in a deep great energy I can see y'all auras are mostly either green , blue and a very few of you purple. One specific person has some red. Make sure you stay in touch with your feelings though as I can see how the world might be making you a bit numb or you feel like a bit depressed actually when it comes to the fact that things constantly happen like , in the past I've been depressed and contemplated like how could it be that I have to drink water then go to the bathroom over and over again and it would wear me down thinking about it. It's good to practice having control over your own mental and perspectives ok. Just hella green and gold so wealth wealth money $$ . One love
2. Group KORN !!
You guys are winners in my book . I don't even know why I felt I had to say that . If you actually listen to Korn, while either way you got to listen to their first two albums you know... After that they were cloned for sure just saying . Ok anyway ...
You might catch something right in time whatever that might mean. This could be anything it depends on the individual, someone saying something, something falling almost, idk.if that does happen it must also be a confirmation of something. So I'm seeing a complete ending and then a revival. This group is somehow dealing with the general concept of time ... I'm seeing for some of you this is all past energy some of you right now some of you the future this could even be like way in the future ok. So it just depends . Someone most likely am adult male is speaking well on you and possibly other people you care about or can be related to yourself. This is looking good for your reputation and it might even be saving your reputation. U know what for a few of you this could be someone that's catching something right on time that's what that is for you . Something about something working and smoothly at that, or a job or you working with someone . This could be someone you know from work. Looks like they love you like they have love for you and a lot of other people , this is someone with a good heart even if you can't tell by their personality . Something's " falling apart " I heard and someone's getting away smoothly from anything affecting them . There's an energy of some type of trick being played or more so just an attempt at that. Maybe some type of verbal communicative manipulation. Maybe trying to convince someone to do something they shouldn't like join a group, sign a contract, say something wrong or that can be taken out of context so be careful but I see it being a separate energy that just has no place anywhere and is kind of awkward lol. I got 3 7's . Be careful of deceit at this time and moving forward. Especially regarding people's words and your own. People might be analyzing you or someone else or a situation . I'm getting almost like an investigation for some of you maybe a real investigation . Like the feds even. Especially if by the time you're reading this this as an older post. Holy f*********** I picked up another deck started shuffling and a card that says I investigation popped right out and a little magnifying glass I drew it's also an orange card like I d***n near wanna take a picture and show you guys. Strangely the other card I got is cult
So this is super deep in some way some form of group of people, big or small, serious or silly, depends on who is reading, has attempted to silence someone. I'm guessing a great majority of you it's you that was or is trying to be silenced. I'm getting the metaphor... If you can call it that this isn't even a metaphor I just don't even know I'm kind of appalled cause what I'm getting is that like if you like just decided ok this one needs to go to another life not stay on earth you know so they took something away and try to deprive them of something so either that happens or so that they do not have the energy , capacity, capability of being able to speak the truth but guess what that's the desert card and after that I have the wave card so not just here's a glass of water let's throw you in the ocean and let a wave roll over you ... Metaphorically for whatever you were being deprived of...... And also a card that says break through which also has rain in it :) . So this is gonna hit really fast cause of course that's the universes will. It's kind of like actually a miracle type of energy im even getting the word biblical and also maybe the story of the guy who parted the red sea or together is significantly sorry I should remember his name I read the bible 300 times as a kid haha. But, you guys this is really good the final two cards are the ace of sword , y'all know that's the truth, and four of pentacles so I feel in my heart chakra specifically a sense of calm and that everything is gonna be set right and you'll be feeling good and a there's a good amount about stability. Maybe church is significant to someone. Or a house of worship I don't know. Or a house in general too for some of you. Or a bulldozer ..? Also substantial evidence for a very few of you .
3. No Doubt !!!!
You guys might be family oriented, live with your family, I can pick up on some people's energy of a kind of busy household maybe the sound of pets nails on a hard floor (cute I miss that with having dogs )
Do not drink any open drinks at this time whoever I'm talking to you wouldn't expect this either you trust someone who would do something or you wouldn't expect it of the brand...or something I don't know I don't want to make anyone paranoid just keep your drink on you in your sight or drink unopened ones you know . I can also sense baked chicken I think or grilled you know when it's not fried or anything though ?? You think someone is loyal to you also if you have a dog this is significant. Im getting calm energy somewhat I think spirits around you are in that and trying to stay around you and have that energy around you :) honestly someone around you might be dangerous this isn't a matter of you getting paranoid this would , if it is true for you, be a matter of you coming to terms with something you've probably had hints about for a prolonged period. Maybe since you were young or it's multiple people even for someone else that this also resonates for. Y'all feel really cool like you investigate things kind of like a mystery vibe it's dope . Rainy days and cabins maybe you can dig that or that's what you give other people if they can read energy well. The things you might be into or interested in in the past too might be significant and spirit considered it to have been or be technically research y'all are really smart don't let anyone block you or stop you from anything ? . For real. Yep y'all are super cool and a smaller group y'all might have anxiety or any big or small issue you should practice breathing exercises. You know I make tea and breath in the air when it's hot it also helps asthma or I placebo that for myself but either way it's nice haha. I'm feeling like my brains working faster you guys are really sharp you might also like caffeine lol me too. You guys are so dope you're like putting together a puzzle or intuitively trying to figure something out and you will this is kind of a destiny situation like I can feel in my heart you guys are just the dopest but seriously w really intelligent pile I feel that something is time restricted , destiny, everything youre supposed to get to and have happen and do and it feels super fast paced and so do you , even if u don't notice cause youre used to it. You also feel like you avoid really negative things as easily as a ghost can avoid a human. Better days a head too even. Your bed is significant somehow . One thing I'll note is you may have to, and if so should sooner than later deal with any negative ideas ever put in your mind about yourself make sure you heal your heart and mind . You're moving so damn fast . Your soul has a PLAN . Like, a mission dudes. It'll all make sense in the end I suppose. Keep going šÆšÆšÆ
4 . The Maiden !!!!!
I feel like you guys have some good philosophy or mentalities in life like you know how to and when to go with the flow. Like picture floating down a river and it's to chill out then you're like alright now I gotta get up and out cause there's a rock that will hit me in three feet. Your intuition might make stuff easier . Sometimes your intuition might surprise you or it would if you pay attention you know. You may get a bit frustrated because you don't get to straight up know the future lol I can relate. To. That.
The movie ice age might have something to do with something or if you remember watching it at any point maybe the memory is significant??,
Or someone you remember watching it with for someone. The universe wants to give you what you want and need but you already seem like a generally content soul just with like yourself existing I noticed from the start this is a super chill group . You guys definitely see danger before it comes. Breathing exercises to the point of deep relaxation might be helpful. You're just not supposed to consciously know the future though I'm not sure why but I guess it would technically like by law mess it up possibly . Remember to be calm , at peace when doing any form of work but also remember work is play deep down just like deep down we're still the kids we once were when we were young , which is a good way to realize every person is not so different and I was going to say also that you should maybe focus somewhat on your relations with other people and your social interactions. Just to sharpen your social skills I guess. There looks like there's chaos around you but I don't see it touching you so you're good . Mellow vibes just enjoy the moment and work on patience and stuff maybe. Working would be beneficial you might get joy out of that even if it's building something or it could even be playing in the woods, going to the store, but I am also getting to go play outside and they want me to say like play like you could go pick up a stick and start digging in the dirt hell kinda sounds like fun . Peace and rock on .

Hey hope you're doing great ā¤ I wanted to ask, how do you think Naoya would react if his beloved wife is infertile? I think it would be pretty interesting considering he's a traditionalist and heir and all š¤
Hello!
I am doing fine thank you ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½!! I hope you're doing well too.
And omg this ask.... it was just what I needed, angst. Or at least that's what I wanted to take it as hahahahahahaaaaaa thank you so much for sending in this hehe. The perfect excuse to write down some thoughts I've been having for a while.
warnings: mentions of infertility, adultery, self doubt. Naoya is somewhat ooc I guess but he's your loving husband nontheless.
Happy reading!!!
Discovering you were infertile quickly becomes one of your worst nightmaresāand not simply because of that, which is severe by itself, but rather all of the things that ensued; notions that your mind convinced you of ā¦ the insecurities it awakens.
The moment you and Naoya decide to finally try out for a baby, you completely dedicate all your efforts to it. It was only all you ever wanted, after all: to have a family with the man of your dreams.
Thus, believing your prayers to be answered in just a matter of time, you and Naoya began to make all preparations, from buying clothes to choosing which room to transform into a nurseryā¦ you were enthusiastic as enthusiastic could be! Your husband nothing but indulging to your desires.
But even with all your persistent attempts, those typical symptoms associated with pregnancy failed to present themselves. Weeks passed and you havenāt felt either nauseous or tired. No odd cravings, nor anything elseā¦
A part of you didnāt want to admit it; feared that doing so out loud might make it true, but perhapsā¦ perhaps you were one of the women that were fated to struggle when conceiving, regardless of how much you desired a baby; still hoping youād be placed above such chances and have your dream conceded.
Yetā¦ it didnāt. And with much fear in your heart, youāve decided to go to the doctor for a checkup. A second opinion, the reassurance that everything was fine, you were just bound to struggle a bit before becoming a mother.
Maybe there was something else you were failing to consider, skipping over when together with Naoyaā¦
Desperately hoping for literally anything else but the gut-wrenching revelation that soured your heart for the rest of your life.
āIām so sorry, Y/N, but the reason why you havenāt been able to get pregnant is because youāreāā
You knew exactly what was coming and yet, you didnāt want to hear it. Didnāt think yourself capable ofāit justā¦ it just never occurred to you that it would happen. That it would be true.
But that awful word felt like it was being imprinted on your forehead, with bright red ink for the whole world to scrutinize, when she said it. When she sentenced your fate and marriage in more ways than you could possibly imagine.
Infertile.
ā¦
So thatās why you werenāt able to have a child. Thatās why no matter how much you tried, how much desired it, you werenāt seeing results.
Oh, what a simple solution.
āBut thatāthat doesnāt mean thereās nothing we can do about it, right?ā Naoya frets soon after, perhaps to give you hope, encourage you to seek solutions. Medicine has advanced so much in recent years, certainly there must be something to consider before closing this chapter!
Yet, to youā¦ his words unwittingly igniting a new insecurity in you as youāre reminded that you werenāt the only one who wanted a family as well, with Naoya seemingly having much more to lose if unaccomplished.
There was nothing, ever, in his actions to lead you down this path, but you couldnāt help but worry about it, especially the circumstances you were surrounded by.
If you werenāt able to conceive, thenā¦ what was your purpose as his wife?
What kind of scrutiny awaited you once you returned to the Zenāin estate, once his family knew that you were unable to have children? Theyād figure out in time, perhaps it wasnāt even necessary to tell them personallyā¦
Not that it mattered, this would only highlight what they already thought of you:
A failure.
āA woman that canāt have children is no woman at all.ā
āItās the only thing we had hopes sheād be able to do well, and not even that was she capable of. What a disgraceā
āOh, poor Naoya-samaā¦ hopefully heāll be able to deal with this issue before itās too late.ā
āDonāt listen to them, Y/N.ā Your husband, all too aware of the inner workings of his family, was quick to defend you. Either by openly scolding them, punishing those he could, or removing you from those dire situations, away from the comments of people you really shouldnāt bother considering, and surround you with those that truly cared for you. āThey donāt know what theyāre saying.ā
Clearly, for how could they even imply he was angry at you? Disappointed? Instead of worried given how dimmed you behaved nowadays, lacking the happiness that always accompanied you whenever doing your daily duties or talking with your staff and family!
Naoya worried, naturally. So much so that he decided to reassign all his missions and duties to someone else just so he could keep by your side, tend to you, let you know that you arenāt alone and that he understands what youāre going throughāto the best of his ability.
Your husband hoped that his company would make you happy, it always did or so he supposed by the way you clung to him whenever around.
But not this time around. If anything, having him near proved worse than he anticipated, as if his presence was a constant reminder of whom you failed, and what you would have to sacrifice in order to fulfill your role.
āY/N, my loveā¦ you have to eat.ā Naoya murmurs, kneeling to your level as he gently holds onto your hands, hoping that this gesture would be enough for you to raise your eyes to him and, wellā¦ see him.
Acknowledge him. Like your husband, the man who swore to accompany you through thick and thināinstead of purposefully ignoring him, like he wasnāt even there.
Had he done something to bother you?
Or was there something else prickling at the back of your mind?
āIām not hungry.ā
āā¦I know.ā He breathes, pressing his lips together and squeezing your hands. āBut at least try to do it a bit. You canāt go on for hours without eating.ā
You donāt respond, not even lifting your eyes to him.
āAt least do it for me, please? Iā¦ I worry for you, my love.ā
āā¦Why?ā You eventually respond, giving him a look of unprecedented anger that takes him by surprise. Though he was still able to see that deep within, you werenāt mad, ratherā¦ sad.
āWhat do you mean why?ā he repeats, hurt by the implications behind your reaction. āYouāreāyouāre my wife. Obviously, I care for you.ā
āā¦perhaps it would be better if I wasnāt. Then someone else could do the job.ā
āY/N?ā Naoya blinks, frightened by your words. āWhat are youā"
āIām not hungry.ā
Naoya leaves with the conclusion that perhaps itās best to not touch the subject anymore. Perhaps you justā¦ needed some time along to come to terms with this unwanted predicament, for his words seem to only make everything worse.
He wonāt leave you unattendedānever. Your husband would leave your care to your attentive staff, who had been nothing but amazing friends the moment they knew what happened at the doctorās office.
āPlease keep a close eye on her. And tell me if anything happens, please.ā Naoya silently confides to Mariya before heading over to you, seconds away from his departure.
āIāll be back before you know it.ā Is what Naoya always says when deployed to those tedious, seemingly senseless missions he often questions why he even bothers. His family has enough money to support you and himself, so why does he have to keep on?
ā¦
In moments like these you wouldāve reassured him that it was all for his career; for the sake of proving himself to the clan and HQ that heās a worthy sorcerer to guide the next generationāthough youād agree that him being away was just as dreadful as it sounded.
But not this time around. No, instead, you just keep quiet, demure as Naoya steps closer to press a kiss on your forehead, a good luck charm that was normally bestowed to him by you, yet given the circumstances, you needed it far more than him.
āTake care, Iāll bring your favorite, ok?ā
āOk.ā
Naoya presses his lips together before entering the car, disappearing into the horizon.
Your husband considered himself to be very focused when it came to his work, although he wonāt deny that ever since he got married, heās unable to keep you out of his mindātoday was to be no exception, though not how he wouldāve liked.
Ever since he left the estate, there has been a dreadful sensation gnawing at the back of his mind, the presumption that something bad was to happen, and yet, he was unsure whether it related to his missions, or worse, the estateāyou.
Naoya anxiously checked his phone whenever he could, believing that whatever bad news he was to endure would come through there.
And he was right, for it rang during the times Naoya specifically asked to not be bothered unless it were an emergency, quickly taking it out of his pocket and reading the caller ID across the screen; heart sinking when realizing it was none other than the estate, or more like the line assigned for you.
āWhat is it? Is it Y/N? Is she ok?!ā Naoya breathes against the speaker, not even muttering a hello.
āNo, Naoyaāshe isnāt. I donāt even know how to begin to explain but sheāshe started packing her things.ā Itās Mariya in the other side, with an unmistakable tone of fright that spirals Naoya even more.
āWhat?ā Naoya breathes, heart thundering against his ears. āWhat do you mean sheās packing her things?!ā
āI donāt know, but thatās what sheās doing! I tried to talk her out of it, or at least get her to tell me where sheās planning to go but sheās not saying anything!ā
A million thoughts cross Naoyaās mind at that moment, but one perseveres above the rest:
Is she leaving me?
The mere notion of a separation is enough to make him mad.
āStop her!ā Naoya demands. āI donāt care how you do it but stop her!ā
āIāll try stalling her, but sheāsāsheās very determined to leave, Naoya. You have to come back!ā
And thatās exactly what Naoya does, careless with what happens on the mission, he drops everything on the spot and rushes his way back to you. He was lucky that his latest mission didnāt place him too far from the estate, so when he finally returned home you were still around.
Though it seemed that if he had taken just a few minutes later, you wouldnāt be there anymore, as youād managed to escape your staffās persistent attempts of stalling you, a small suitcase by your side, as you headed to the exit with them just right behind you.
āHeāHey, honey, whatāwhat are you doing?ā Naoya asks with a nervous chuckle, gesturing to the staff to leave the two alone, which they obliged soon after, elated that he was finally thereābut worried he couldnāt be of much help.
āIām leaving.ā
āAnd whereāwhere are you going, my love?ā He goes on, his heart squeezing in pain as his worst fears seemed to materialize before him. Yet, Naoya still hopes to be wrong. āDidā¦ did your family need help with something? If so, maybe I could driveā"
āā¦No.ā you say, not even looking back to him. But he was still able to hear the pain in your voice. āI donātāI donāt need anything, because Iām never coming back.ā
āWhat?ā Naoya freezes, hands trembling as his mind tries to understand what you just uttered. āY/Nā you canātāā
āIā¦ I no longer have a place here.ā You say. āAfter this Iā¦ I realized I was never meant to be with youā
āThatās not true.ā Naoya swiftly interjects. āNone of the things youāre saying are true! I cannot envision anyone else to be my wife, less to share my life with! Where did you even get this idea?!ā
āWhat do you mean where?ā You frown, looking back at him. āHave you not been aware of whatās going on around?!ā
āY/N, IāI get that youāre upset because of what happened. I can only imagine, really, the pain youāre going through. You have no idea how much I wanted to have a family with you too butā but if itās not meant to be thenā¦ then I guess we just have to live with that!ā
āThatās easy for you to say, isnāt it?ā you hiss. āItās just so easy for you to simply move on, because all you have to do is look for someone else to do the job!ā
āAnd who told you I wanted to do that?! I never implied, not even once, that I was interested in having another woman just for the sake of having a family! I donāt want to! If itās not with you, then I donāt want anything!ā
āThen I guess you didnāt want it as much as I did.ā You murmur, Naoya freezes.
āWhatāsā¦ that supposed to mean?ā
āā¦Nothing. Iām leaving.ā You say, attempting to walk away. But before you were able to do as much as take the first step, Naoya grabs your hand, keeping you in place. āNaoyaāā
āNo, I canāt let you go. I wonāt let you.ā
āLetālet me go!ā You tug at his arm. āYou wouldnāt understand anyways!ā
āThen help me understand.ā Naoya pleads. āPleaseāplease tell me; Iāll do anything you want, whatever you want, itās doneābut please donātā¦ donāt leave me.ā
This is why you wanted to leave before he came back, because you knew that at the sound of his trembling voice, and the teary-eyed look in his face, youād succumb.
Youād crumble, wanting nothing more than to stay with him.
Because you wouldnāt take it. You couldnāt take the notion of hurting him even more than you already seemingly done.
ā¦ It is also why you took this abrupt decision. Why you needed to leave.
āā¦ I justāI just want to go home.ā
āButā¦ you āyou are home.ā Naoya says, a sad chuckle at the overwhelming pain of you not recognizing his company as home. āHeāhere, with me.ā
āI canāt be here anymore.ā You whisper, looking back at him. āI donāt think IāI can take this anymore.ā
āWhy?ā Naoya laments, gently cupping your face and wiping your tears away. āWhat happened? Did something happen while I was gone?ā
Always. The Zenāin could never keep to themselves.
āā¦I have failed you.ā You eventually sob, Naoya taking you into his arms and chest as you let out the sorrows youāve been dragging along. āAs your wife Iā I was supposed to give you children, a heir, but IāI couldnāt and that is going toāitās going toā ruin your life.ā
āRuin my life?ā Naoya asks, perplexed. It all becomes clear now, who was responsible of this misunderstandingā¦
Just what kind of stupidities did his family plague you with?
āIf IāI canāt have kids then youāyou couldnāt be heir anymore.ā You explain. āAnd I love you too much to do that to you.ā
āI wouldnāt be heirāā
Were they truly that desperate that they resorted to doing this?
Intimidating you?
Naoya doesnāt even bother to ask who started this train of thought, knowing all too well where to look.
It probably began with his uncle, the man that never knew how to keep quiet, always commenting in otherās marriage because his was miserable. As if that gave him permission to do so. Always quick to bark first.
From there, the elders. His father too, probably. They probably thought the same as Ogi but kept quiet about it because they had other matters to tend tooāor perhaps too drunk to care. But do not be fooled, they were the ones that once suggested him getting a lover, a concubine of sorts, to āsecureā the bloodline long ago; way before this issue began. Naoya promptly dismissed them, calling their idea idiotic: but what gave him security that they wouldnāt insist again?
He could see how this happened too, scolded himself for not even considering it before!
Since Naoya was now out of the estate, it gave them the freedom to target the one they considered most vulnerable, and without holding back: you.
If done right, then you would essentially be intimidated into disappearing from their life, giving way for their plans to continue. Or so they hoped.
ā¦
You were too good for this family, how could he claim to deserve you, when heās allowed so much pain to befall you?
āIf Naoya canāt bring himself to beget a child for his wife, then he might as well pass on the title to someone else.ā
None of those words were true, not one bit. But how could he dismiss them if heās never taken the time to say what he thought of this situation?
Of what he thought of you, and what it means to this marriage?
It was time that he did what he shouldāve the moment you stepped out of the doctorās office.
āI wanted a family with you, I wonāt say that I didnāt; that I never found something enthralling about hearing the footsteps of our children running from one side of the estate to the other. To have kids that looked just like you, or maybe like me; though secretly hoped they looked more like you. Ever since I saw you interact with my cousins, thatās all I thought about. You being the mother of my children.ā Naoya murmurs, holding you tightly against him. āButā¦ Iāve also accepted that some things are simply not meant to be. And if we are not meant to have a family, as long as I have you by my side, I am fine with it.
As long as we remain together, I will know what happiness is.ā
āIāI donātāā your lips tremble, overwhelmed by Naoyaās, regretful for the way youāve behaved these past few days. āNaoya, Iāmā"
āWhatever they said, itās a lie. Nothing but things to get under your skināhurt me.ā He insists. āYou know how my family is, how stupid they can beā"
āBut theyāthey said things that could be true.ā You fret. āIf Iām unable to give you a child, then youāyou might not be heir anymoreāā
āY/N.ā Naoya sternly interjects, cutting through your spiraling mind as he cups your face, forcing you to look at him. āTo be an heir is my birthright. It was decided way before you stumbled into my life. So, what happens after shouldnāt worry you.ā
āBut the Zenāināā
āLike to antagonize people. Make up things to worry your pretty little mind just for the laughs of it.ā
āAnd what if it is true? What if I do make you lose your title? I know how much you wanted to be leader! If that happens, IāI couldnātāI couldnāt live with myself!ā
āIt wonāt happen. I promise. I swear.ā Naoya insists, kissing your tears away. āBut please, please donāt ever think of yourself as expendable or replaceable, because you are not. Not to me.ā
āIāmāIām sorry.ā You sob again, pressing your face against his chest. āIām sorry for disappointing youāIām sorry for not being able to give you childrenā¦!ā
āYouāve never disappointed me, never.ā He murmurs, kissing the top of your head. āIf anything, Iām sorry for disappointing you. I failed to be the husband you needed in these difficult moments. Iā¦ let my fear get the best of me, giving you the impression you were less than enough.ā
āAre youā¦ are you really ok with not having a family?ā you dare to wonder, one last reassurance.
āIt just means Iāll have more of you to myself.ā He attempts to jest, successfully making you laugh, but not without a sniffle to follow. āā¦But we could alwaysā¦ adopt if you want.ā
āIā¦ I guess I have to think about it.ā
āYou donāt have to make a decision now.ā Naoya says. āOr ever. Just know that whatever you decide, Iāll agree with.ā
āā¦I think I still need some space from here.ā You murmur. āAnd see my family too.ā
āYou havenāt told your father, have you?ā you shake your head, Naoya sighs. āDo you want me to be with you?ā
āYou already made your most to be here, I donāt want to distract you any furtherā
āThis is a family emergency; I have to be there. Whatās the use of being your husband if I wonāt act like one?ā He insists. āBut if you donāt want me there, I wonāt insist.ā
āI want you to be there.ā You confess. āPleaseā
āOf course, always.ā Naoya promises, leaning to softly kiss your lips. āā¦Does this mean weāre stillā¦ together?ā
You nod, another tear sliding down your cheek as you hug him tighter. āI canāt imagine my life with anyone else but you either. ā¦Iām sorry.ā
āDonāt think about anything anymore; just focus on being with your family. Itās probably the best place for you to be right now.ā
āCan you stay over there too? At least until I feel better?ā you ask. āI mean, if it doesnāt affect your work.ā
āIāll make all the preparations, donāt worry your pretty little head about it. Do you also need me to send your staff?ā
āI wouldnāt mind the company.ā You say with a smile, making Naoyaās heart flutter.
āThereās my pretty girl.ā He says, pinching your cheek. āIāll see if I can make time for a holiday too; we could fly somewhere nice, cold to fight this horrible summer heat.ā
āI want to take it easy for now.ā
āThen thatās what weāll do.ā He nods, kissing your lips once more. āIāll always be here when you need me. Donāt ever forget that.ā
āā¦ I love you.ā
āI love you too.ā
Little details to note: Naoya has always struck me as the type of guy that never really wanted a family, he just had no interest! That changes a bit when you come along, but the bottom line is that he isn't actively seeking it. Sure, he likes to play with the idea of breeding you, but you know, he had other priorities. (He loves your kids tho when you eventually have them, do not get me wrong)
And once again, the Zen'in estate is not a good place for you lol. Thankfully, I like to think that changes when Naoya eventually becomes leader :) but most of the time you're living somewhere elseāand honestly, he prefers it that way too. More... privacy āŗļø
I just really wanted to write an argument between the two were both have their biggest insecurities exposed :) kind of extremist in Y/N's part but can't say I didn't enjoy the angst hehe I hope you enjoyed it too!!
Take care and hope to see you soon!!

Okay, so Iāve finished my taxes, and Iām basically out of the woods with some overwhelming work stuff, and everything turned out well with a medical situation with my mum, but I am still very tired, but I also cannot keep going without putting my preliminary thoughts on my very first viewing of season 3 down on a postā¦
It seems my worst characterization so far is assuming that these two idiots would learn to communicate. They havenāt, theyāre stupid teenagers, theyāre really bad at it, they get mad at each other for everything, and they donāt listen. And that needs to change soon if we want Wilmon endgame.
Boris, do you do couples therapy? PLEASE HELP THEM.
I think a big reason Wilhelm lashes out, besides getting caught up in his own head, is the fact that heās also constantly afraid of saying the wrong thing and pissing Simon off. But the stakes for Simon are clearly higher. Wilhelm really needs to learn to communicate, but heās dragging a whole life of terrible communication and zero support, so HOW is he supposed to learn, if he naturally feels afraid to open up?
It shows in the way he reacts to learning about Erik. Simon might be right, and Erik maybe just gave in to peer pressure, like everyone else in that school (which we see over and over again, like with the strike, and that guy who just repeats āyeah hilariousā when Vincent tells him, and the graduation rituals and basically everything that everyone does at that fucking school), and maybe he wasnāt particularly homophobic. Or maybe he was, but if he had found out about Wilhelm maybe he would have changed his views (after all he was a stupid kid too)ā¦ But how would Wilhelm know? Erik is dead, thereās no way of asking him, confronting him about it. And people still call him perfect, and still compare him to his brother.
It must be so traumatizing to have held this person in your head as the one you trusted for everything, the one who would support you most, the one who probably knew you better than anyone else, who would love you and be there for you no matter what, and it turns out that he might not have accepted you at all. And just like that Wille is all alone and angry and afraid again.
(This is why itās extra cruel that August posted that fucking video, especially how premeditated it was to share it over the whole world, but also then tell Wilhelm that his brother was possibly a homophobe. It doesnāt matter that he went through that horrible hazing, it doesnāt matter that he put a stop to it, and it doesnāt matter that heās a stupid kid too, the fact that he did THAT to someone, anyone, is awful and he should have known better.)
So that scene in season 1 when Erik teases Wilhelm about his crush potentially changes completely. Maybe he didnāt suspect anything, maybe it was just a coincidence that he never used any pronounsā¦
And that makes it even more traumatizing that his parents still think of Erik as the figure of perfection, and Wilhelm, who is queer and scandalous and rebellious, is the real thorn on their side. Fucking Ludvig saying that Erik really was perfect, that he didnāt have āthat darkness inside of himā, to his surviving sonā¦ But for all we know maybe Erikās death was not accidental, maybe he did have āa darknessā inside of him.
On the other hand, that ādarknessā doesnāt excuse Kristina at all. I am convinced that this depression/burnout that sheās going through is absolute bullshit. Sure, she might be depressed, sheās still grieving her āperfectā heir, and sheās going through a lot. But itās like Wilhelm says, how convenient that she shuts down and breaks down now. She wasnāt like this when the video happened, because she could still cover it up. And she wasnāt like this when Wilhelm called her to scream that he was going to abdicate, because she could still drag him out of Hillerska. It was only when he told the whole world, and there was no covering it up anymore, that she suddenly became fragile with grief.
And even if it were true, even if sheās going through a severe depression or burnout, as a result of everything thatās happened, that doesnāt excuse her previous lies and manipulations. And it makes the fact that she still really wants Wille to become her successor, despite knowing what it could do to him, despite knowing that heās already extremely anxious and that he does not know how to manage his own emotions, is evil.
(And even if she wants August to be the backup too, knowing how he is, knowing his own family history, and how it could affect him too, is evil too.) MORE on this later.
Kristina uses her breakdowns to emotionally manipulate Wille into trying to do his best to be the perfect crown prince, now indirectly through Farima and Ludvig. And Willeās so concerned with her and her fragility that it affects his relationship with Simon. Because heās anxious about the possible imminence of having to take over, of being the new monarch, when he can barely control his own feelings, when he just wants to enjoy his first relationship and just be in love.
Of course he made things worse for himself and Simon when he publicly revealed their relationship, but we can understand where thatās coming from. He didnāt want to hide anymore, he didnāt want to not be able to be himself anymore, not be able to be with the boy he loves. But theyāre still forced to hide, because people start hating on Simon, because people wonāt stop talking about them (as much as I HATED Wille shushing Simon, I also understood that he didnāt want anyone to hear their argument, because he didnāt want to give people more reason to talk about them, but also thereās probably a lot of ākeeping up appearancesā embedded in his mind), because they are very different and almost incompatible for many reasons, and because being the crown prince means conforming to a lot of things (no tattoos, no cutting your hair shorter than, no nail polish, no expressing political opinions, etc etc), and so he has to remove the nail polish and he doesnāt want his foundation to be geared toward LGBTQIA+ people or mental health issuesā¦ He canāt express himself, he canāt be himself, because what he is or who he is for real is not compatible with his role or what is expected of himā¦ heās so repressed still.
(The whole nail polish scene, and the scene where Simon suggests that Willeās foundation could be geared toward LGBTQIA+ youth, reminded me a little of Isak in SKAM saying that he wasnāt just going to start marching in the Pride parade or wearing makeup. Wille is not necessarily about identity expression, or at least he doesnāt think that he should be. He just wants to be himself, and be with the boy he loves, and thatās it).
As for Simon, he can do no wrong, and I absolutely agree with everything he says and does, but he has always been very idealistic, and he does come across as a little more naĆÆve than I expected, especially with the whole social media comments and his song. It wasnāt the first time he experienced it, because things went south for him when he appeared on the video, so for him now to think that people are magically not going to be cruel.
But I understand how much heās sacrificing for Wille, and Wille not appreciating it at all must sting. Just like he points out that he didnāt have contact with Micke for years, for Saraās sake, and suddenly sheās living with himā¦ that fucking hurt. Simon has always been very opinionated and outspoken, and heās very authentically and proudly himself, but heās also always molded himself to what other people need, like being a parented child and taking on too much in the house to relieve Linda, and taking care of Sara, and worrying about his father, and letting himself be manipulated by Marcus, and now basically giving up a lot of himself to be with Wille. And as a result Linda treats him like heās a drug addict, and Sara goes to the father she didnāt want to have contact with, and Marcus talks shit about him to the press, and Wille doesnāt listen to himā¦
Sara saw the light (sort of), so maybe hopefully Wille will too. More on that later too.
Anyway, it would have been nice for someone from the royal court to sit Simon down and explain to him what being the boyfriend of a royal involves, so that Wille doesnāt have to figure out how to tell him all these difficult things himself. Wille is so used to some of these things, they seem so obvious to him, that he might not immediately think of how weird or outlandish it might seem to Simon. (THat scene with the cake, I meanā¦ it was funny in a way, but I wonder how many terrifying thoughts crossed Simonās mind, the obvious āwait what??? did I just eat poison???ā but also āwait what??? someoneās trying to poison my boyfriend????ā and āthere are kids here, have they also accidentally been poisoned????ā).
I really really hope that, since heās being forced to go to Boris with August, that Wille will think about going with Simon, and trying to work things out. They need to be able to say all these things to each other, get on the same page.
More importantly, I need a callback to what Boris said to him in season 2, about the expectations of his family, about being able to make his own choices. Which Wille internalized beautifully with that speech to Simon outside his house.
Anyway, this is already very long. Moving on to more general thoughts:
- I did think that the fact that they sort of resolved the whole issue with the police report and the drugs felt a little anticlimactic. It was built up and built up and the whole season 2 finale was about that, and we had a cliffhanger and everything, and thenā¦ bye. I wonder if it will come back (more on that later).
- And for that matter, Alexander just became a background character. Did he even have any lines? I could barely spot him.
- August telling Wilhelm in front of everyone at the table that heās sure Wille will fuck up on his ownā¦ rich.
- Also Stella and Rosh was sort of hinted at, it happened in a blink, and then Fredrika wasā¦ jealous? Confused? Homophobic? All of the above? But thenā¦ NOTHING. Stella was even missing in the last episode, because she was āsickāā¦ (scheduling conflicts for Felicia? Actually sick?)
- I think itās interesting that Sara preached and preached to Simon about giving people a second chance, including their dad, and then sheā¦ goes and does it? It wasnāt the first time she did, she was with August despite the awful thing he did. And then she goes andā¦ gives August ANOTHER chance????
- Someone needs to tell Sara that she needs to stop getting wtih August, because every time they get together somehow, Wilmon go southā¦ It seems these two couples cannot exist simultaneouslyā¦
- So I still have to rewatch, butā¦ is August then in the middle of selling his fatherās estate to pay Simon? Are any of his friends aware of this?
- I have a cultural question: what was the whole deal about travelling to the US? I mean, I thought they were asking if these kids have never travelled abroad, but they mentioned the US specifically, several timesā¦ Is that a thing in Sweden, traveling to the US? Not any other part of Europe? Not Asia? Just wondering. Made me curious.
- Still waiting for this seasonās Elias songā¦ just one episode leftā¦ If we donāt get one, or a callback to Revolution, I might claw my face offā¦
- Nils repeating that maybe Wille would have been better off with someone from the inner circle. Seriously, Nils, who do you mean? WHO? Who could you be referring to? Hmm?
- Something else about Nilsā¦ a part of me really wished that Wille would have asked Nils for confirmation on the Erik thing. Wille obviously doesnāt want to believe it at first, but then he does, and hearing it from August makes it even worse, so maybe hearing it from someone like Nils would be the final confirmation that he would need, that his brother was the worst. On the other hand, for him to ask Nils to confirm something like that, as a gay, and possibly hearing what happened to him as a result of itā¦ that would have probably made it even worse.
- Really hate that Marcus was mentioned, that he came back to haunt Simon in a way, even if it was minimal. But props to Simon for not rising to the bait in that moment.
- Simon, my love, i understand that youāre upset and heartbroken, butā¦ it would have been nice if you tried to get Wille to talk to you one last time, before breaking up with him on his birthdayā¦ especially seeing everything heās going through. Not that your feelings are any less important than his, of course, butā¦ are you trying to get him to jump out the window????
-Eternally saddened by the disappearance of the orange sweater. Eternally saddened by the fact that Wilhelm did not set foot in or around Simonās house this season. Although who knows, still one episode leftā¦
Things that I liked most:
- Seriously the chemistry between Edvin and Omar is OFF THE CHARTS. The intimacy coordinator this season was very good.
- Especially that sex scene. Not just because it makes me immensely happy when my favorite ship fucks, because holy shit that was hot, but also because thereās a whole theme around all the hate mail and messages and classism and homophobia and toxic masculinity that Simon is a target of, especially being Latino, whilst Wille, being white and privileged and high class and the heir to the throne, is probably seen as the āmanā of the relationship (especially since in the video heās also the one āin controlā whilst Simon is the receiver), so itās very VERY satisfying to see that they are both top and bottom at times, and they both equally enjoy it.
- Also the use of choir music during the sex scene, giving it a very holy feel, much like Eliasās Holy playing when they have sex again in season 2ā¦ seriously I NEED my Elias song this season or I WILL START A REVOLUTION.
- At first I was annoyed at the whole āschool possibly closingā plotline, because I thought it was unneeded. Or that maybe it would play a bigger role in the whole video-drugs controversy. But the truth is that it was really good, how it highlighted these kidsā privilege and the absurdity of wanting to cover things up and uphold traditions, and it also worked wonderfully to highlight the divide between Simon and Wille. As Simon says to Wille, he only takes a stand when he has nothing to lose.
- Felice. Felice this whole season was magnificent. Her whole breakdown over the end of her friendship with Sara, showing how truly important it was to her. And Madison saying that sometimes breaking up with a friend is worse than getting dumped, and I AGREE SO MUCH. But then I also think she loses her sense of self, because despite being popular and beautiful, she still gets used and treated badly, by August (obviously), but also by Wille (the kiss), and worst of all by Sara (who in a way used her for her horse, but also for the clout). And in the meantime, sheās treated differently than the other students for being one of the few black girls, and she gets singled out for her hairā¦ and yet, the school is using her to make themselves look good. And now she decides to give Sara a second chance, because she really missed her, because it really hurt to lose that friend, and Sara goes andā¦ does thatā¦
- One of my favorite things about Simon is how he is proof that just because youāre gay doesnāt mean that you have flawless fashion sense. And i canāt help but wonder how fashion and style icon/ELLEās Best Dressed Man/OMR Beauty founder Omar feels about Simonās fashion choices. Never change, Simon, never change.
- Vincent was every bit of the tremendous asshole that I hoped heād be this season. Did not disappoint. I wanted to punch him in the face every time he opened his mouth. Marvellous.
- Iām happy that we got more Madison, but still not enough. Still, iconic. Forever one of my favorite characters.
- I donāt know what to say about Sara and Micke. Just maybe that, when he played that song in the car, even before they started singing, i just knew āoh fuck, itās all going to shit soonā¦ā I guess Sara felt lost enough that she was suddenly willing to give him a second chance. And the whole āis that going to happen to me?ā bit really made me sad. That she understands that mental health and mental illness is unfortunately many times hereditary, and worries that she might become just like himā¦ But despite not being entirely like him, with addiction problems and such, she was still unreliable like him, she did bad things to her family like he didā¦ I was rooting for you, Micke, we were all rooting for you.
- I feel that Augustās love for status and for the monarchy might be starting to fray at the edges. First with the fact that he was reminded of his own traumatizing initiation, and reminded of how the crown prince, his cousin and friend and idol, himself was part of that. Second with the fact that Simon points out that he might have an eating disorder, how he would probably not fare any better than the queen if he were in such a stressful position as crown prince or king, how difficult it is for him to handle stress and anxiety. And third with seeing how it affects Wille and Simon and realizing that something similar might still happen to him and Sara. And the fact that he reveals to Sara why he is the way he is, that he lets his guard down with her, might point to even more growth (even though I hate that Sara sort of gave him a āsecond chanceā again). Also I feel the reality of how they, the Royal Court, would control his life is finally sinking in. Hopefully he will also soon realize that they also use him as a manipulation tool. So maybe he wonāt let himself be manipulated by them much longer.
- I loved Willeās ultimate outburst at his mother and father, i love that he told them everything they needed to hear, about their emotional abuse, their neglect. Unfortunately they still refused to acknowledge how terrible parents they have been, and walked off, instead of trying to resolve it. So Wille throwing around the gifts, as impulsive and tantrum-ish it might come across, makes perfect sense. He tries to talk and gets nothing in return. If heās repressed itās bad, but if he expresses himself then nothing happens either.
- And I love that Simon got to see what Wille is really dealing with. As privileged as he might be, heās still lacking the most important things: unconditional support and love. No amount of money or status can make it better, and Wille is broken. The only thing is that, Simon saw how broken Wille was over the death of his brother, whom he loved very much, but I donāt think he quite grasps the gravity of Wille learning that maybe that beloved brother wouldnāt have been so cool with him, because he has never had to deal with a parent or sibling rejecting him for his sexuality. Itās something very different to be rejected by society at large than it is to be rejected by your own family, and not everyone has the emotional strength to deal with that. So for Willeās parents to still like his potentially homophobic dead brother more than him, is heart-wrenching. But I donāt think Simon really gets that because heās probably not surprised that Erik might have been like that, because in his eyes those privileged kids in that school (except obviously Wille, and Felice and Madison, who is asking about the non-binaries) are probably all massive homophobes.
- Despite this, I love that Simon sets boundaries nonetheless. I mean, it hurt like fucking hell for him to tell Wille, on his fucking birthday, that maybe they shouldnāt be together. But just because Wille is hurting doesnāt mean that Simon has not also been hurting too. And if they canāt comfort each other, and try to support each other when they both obviously most need it, then maybe theyāre just not going to work. And it took a lot of guts for Simon to bring it up in that moment, in Willeās bed, in the palace, where heās basically trapped, with nowhere to go, no way to get away (I doubt he called Linda in the middle of the night to come pick him up more than two hours away in Stockholm).
My hopes for the final episode (I donāt think I have any predictions other than, open ending or not, Wilmon will be endgame and there will be a revolution, I just donāt know how):
- Wilmon talk. An actual, healthy, heartfelt talk. A reconciliation for the ages.
- That the fucking school will close and August wonāt be able to graduate, and heāll realize that maybe he shouldnāt have ālived for that schoolā, as Erik once put it.
- That Wille will realize that, if Erik was not the person he thought he was, then maybe he no longer has to live up to his legacy anymore. @foreverunraveling pointed out how, now that the big Erik revelation is confirmed, then maybe the queenās trump card to manipulate Wille into being the ideal crown prince is gone. Wille doesnāt care about the monarchy really, but he did care about not disappointing his brother, the āperfect crown princeā, and now we know that he was far from perfect. Erik lived a double life, as Wille points out, there was āpublic Erikā or crown prince Erik, and there was āprivate Erikā, or the real Erik (or so Wille thought, now we know there was a āsecret Erikā which was the real Erik) and Wille struggles so much with the idea of having to split himself in two, . Wille cannot live a double life, he withers away when he has to hide himself, and now he gets the opportunity to leave that stifling life behind, and blossom.
- That Simon will get a fucking break. I hate that his whole life was turned upside down from the moment the video was leaked, and itās just never going to be the same, whether he stays with Wille or not, heāll always be the boy from the crown prince sex tape, heāll always be the crown princeās ex, or the crown princeās boyfriend. But I want some positive feedback for him, someone bigger than the woman and the little boy wanting a selfie. I want him to have his own fanclub or something. Maybe thatās too idealisticā¦? (I may be imagining something like that scene in Red White and Royal Blue, when they realize that thereās a whole crowd outside the palace all excited to the the Prince and his First son boyfriendā¦ one can dream).
- I want whatever Felice said during the interview to be taken seriously, and for her to stop doubting herself.
- I want a genuine apology from August.
- Also one from Kristina.
- I get the feeling that the fact that August leaked the video might still come out publicly, what with the whole school issue. And in that case, I would like for it to be Simon might to do it, tossing the money from the settlement in his face. It looks like Simon still feels guilty about accepting it, especially when he chided Wille about his privilege and Wille (figuratively) threw the money back in his face. What if Simon does it literally?
- I really wanna know whatās going to happen between Felice and Sara now. The outlook is not good.
- Is it too much to ask to know whatās going on between Stella and Fredrika?
- Most importantly, is the whole thing with Erik going to come out eventually? And how will people react? With support for the monarchy, or with support for Wille?
I have so many more thoughts, but Iām slightly burnt out, and I really should take a break. Also this is way too long. Might have more thoughts once Iāve rewatched the first five episodes, calmly over the weekendā¦
Also this is very long and Iām sorry.

[1]
He stared with saucer-wide eyes at the wild so close up for the very first time, every minute twitch of the alphaās face seeming exaggerated like Louis was looking at them through a high definition magnifying glass. Ā The flair of his nostrils with each breath, the tight clench of the muscles along his jaw and purse of his lips, the flitting of his light coloured eyes as they seemed to analyze Louisā face, the unsubtle dilating of his dark pupils. Ā
His own eyes seemed to grow impossibly wider as the alpha slowly began to rise, growing in size like a dramatically slow motion scene in a movie with a sea monster rising out of the water to show their full and intimidating mass that eventually overshadowed the large ship looking to capture it. Ā Louis could do nothing but watch with absolute terror as the alpha rose to stand at his full height, towering over Louis like an eclipse and leaving him in a shadow from the morning sun. Louis didnāt even know the wilds were capable of standing completely upright, heād never seen it, and to witness it for the first time while being held in place by the death grip of the same wild that had at least a foot on him had his shaking knees threatening to give out on him and his bladder threatening to release. Ā
[2]
āHi!ā Ā He said again and Harry took the hand he offered and shook it firmly. Ā āIām Louis from Omega Services. Ā Itās nice to meet you.ā Ā
āArenāt you a little young?ā Harry blurted out and then slapped a hand over his mouth. Ā At least thatās what he had intended to do, but with his glasses still gripped in the same one, he ended up smashing them into his face. Ā
āOw! Fuck!ā he exclaimed and ran his tongue over his lips to make sure he hadnāt busted one open. Ā Louis just laughed, light and cheery. Ā
āYou okay? Ā But donāt worry, I get that a lot. Ā I promise you I am a fully certified and licensed heat specialist and Iāve been doing this for almost four years now.ā
āSorry.ā Harry nodded, leading them the few steps to the kitchen. āIām just not sure what I was expecting or supposed to expect, I guess. Ā Maybe a middle aged doctor type or something.ā
[3]
If his parents no longer lived in Louisville, he didnāt have an excuse to ever return. Ā He wouldnāt have a reason to be there without a contracted appearance. Ā Security would never let him back on set just to āvisitā Louis after he was truly turned over to the āreal worldā. Ā Plenty of his peers had disappeared over the years in the same way, never to be seen again.
He knew it was far fetched but he began to realize that somewhere in the hidden recesses of his mind he had convinced himself that someday he and Louis would end up together. Ā In the rom com movie plot of his life he was sure that eventually fate would allow them to be together. Ā They would have a tearful reconnection, bond, get married, have children... but the possibility of that was slipping through his fingers like loose sand. Ā It would never happen if Harry was written out of Louisā life just as everyone eventually was. Ā
[4]
Their phone call was connected via sex hotline.Ā All logic said that biology was exactly what it was yet that didnāt explain why Louis had been so preoccupied with thinking about the omega since that first call.Ā
Louis shook his head.Ā It was only because having a nice omega caller was a rarity.Ā That was all it was.Ā He was horny and a nice omega with a sexy voice had been transferred over to him at the right time.Ā Ā
But if Harry wanted to think so, Louis wasnāt going to change his mind.Ā He was Louisā most tolerable client, likeable even. He didnāt want to scare him off.Ā Ā
āMust be meant to be,ā Louis said with a grin as he cleaned himself up.Ā He always hated the way lube and come started to get tacky between his fingers almost immediately.Ā Ā
āGuess weāre one of the lucky few.āĀ Ā
Louis sat back with his eyes closed and let himself imagine that that was true for at least a little while.Ā True connections like that were mostly made up, but he wasnāt immune to romantic thoughts.Ā Plus, wasnāt he paid to let people have their fantasies?Ā He figured he was allowed to have his own once in a while.Ā Ā
- Answers below -
[1] The Wilds
The creatures that Louis observed every day weren't exactly human, but yet they were. Researchers had plucked some of them from their secluded island and transplanted them into an enclosure against their will like a bunch of zoo animals. Louis didn't think they were. But he was only paid to do the yardwork, he didn't have any say about the wilds that lived there. That was until an unfortunate accident changed his life forever and made one wild in particular his top priority.
[2] Just Jump
Finally, after years of suffering alone, the insurance plan at Harry's new job covered omega heat services. As a grown omega adult, it finally felt like the right time to try it out. And, since taking an entire week of heat leave would really put him behind at work, using a service to shorten it seemed like a responsible decision. At least thatās how he rationalized it. He was nervous about his decision but it was too late. The doorbell rang.
āHi!ā The alpha said again and Harry took the hand he offered and shook it firmly. āIām Louis from Omega Services. Itās nice to meet you.ā
[3] OmegaVision
Tomlin Networks Presents: OmegaVision starring Louis Tomlinson! The world's first 24/7 reality channel available in over 150 countries worldwide following the life of the first male omega born in over a century. Follow Louis through his daily routine, the ups and downs of growing up or just leave him on for comfort. There are many reasons to tune in but, no matter what yours may be, there's always a part of Louis that is just like you!
Or a Truman Show au that nobody asked for where Louis is Truman and Harry just wants to be his mate
[4] Confessions of a Fabricated Alpha
Hearing it now almost made Harry hang up the phone, but he sighed and pressed one to be connected to one of their alpha operators. Heād already committed to this low point in his life and hanging up meant he couldnāt wallow in it and he was in a wallowing mood.
āYou are being connected to alpha operator number forty-four. Rogue will be with you shortly.ā
The name was said in a different voice like a voice mailbox someone might have on their office phone. It made him snort out a laugh at how stupid it all was. It felt like a budget sex line.
Ā or famous alpha Harry Styles has a secret and paying an alpha to roleplay a relationship with him over the phone is the only way he can be himself.

"Give me six months"
This is a chapter from a longer fic that you can find here. It's a letter from Astarion, written over the course of six months immediately following the defeat of the Absolute. The premise is that you two are taking some time apart after the main events of the game so he can figure his shit out a bit. I love his friendship ending because he's so happy and proud of himself, but I wish it were possible to have that and the romance as well, so this is me making that happen.
Darling,
Itās been 3 days since you saved the world. I can hear you objecting to my phrasing, so let me rephrase: itās been 3 days since I saved the world and you were also there. Better, my dear?
This is very irksome, you know. I thought Iād make it more than 3 days without being so desperate to talk to you that I write a bunch of sentimental words down for all the world to see. And even worse, it wouldāve been far less than 3 days if Iād been able to find any parchment in this godsforsaken city (we could have just let it burn, darling, no one would blame us!).
Frankly, Iām rather upset with you. Yes, Iām actually making up my mind right now. You donāt deserve a letter from me, youāre too lovely and too brilliant and too beautiful and you make it impossible to live without you.
Iāve decided to help out the spawn in the underdark. There. Thatās all youāre getting from me.
______________
Perhaps I was a bit hasty. I apologize.
Thatās something Iām working on doing more of, apologizing. I am getting quite a lot of practice, spending every day with people I seduced forā¦ Iād rather not write his name, actually. But you know. People I seduced in order for him to turn and torture and starve and imprison them for a century or two.
As such, I am becoming an expert at apologizing for things no one could ever really apologize for.
If I was in a better mood Iād make a joke about how Iām spending time with thousands of my exes and you should be jealous. Youāll just have to imagine how hilarious it would be, and then pretend itās not funny even though youāre smiling, and then roll your eyes at me like you always do. I even miss your exasperation. Thatāsā¦ horrible. This is horrible.
I know it was my idea to go off and figure things out on my own but Iām beginning to suspect Iām the stupidest elf to ever live.
I canāt tell anymore if Iām being funny when I talk or if Iām just being mean. Is that how other people feel about me, that Iām mean? I think it probably is. Maybe I donāt want to be mean. That doesnāt sound right. I think Iām okay with being mean, I just want to be doing it on purpose.
Youāre always so kind, but you have your meaner moments, donāt you? Gods, youāre so terrible with children. The things Iāve seen you say to them. They all think youāre dreadful. Thatās something at least.
You see, I find it easier to bear your absence if I pretend your presence isnāt the best feeling in the world and everything you do isnāt perfect. Iām never able to pretend for very long, but I get a good couple minutes each day where I convince myself Iām scandalized by how you talk to children and not completely enchanted by it, and I miss you just slightly less.
_______________
It has been one month since we saved the world. I miss the sun almost as much as I miss you.
My siblings have actually made quite a bit of progress with the spawn. Theyāre talking about starting a school for the younger ones. Itās very strange. I hope they donāt become good people or weāll have nothing to talk about anymore.
I had a chat with Sebastian this afternoon, which was also strange. He said, āit must be difficult seeing our faces day and night. Torturing yourself isnāt going to change anything for us. Youāve apologized; you might as well go figure out your next move.ā
I think heās just sick of seeing me and wants me to leave, but he found a kind way to say it.
But heās not wrong to assume I have no plan after this. I might head above ground tonight and explore the city a bit, see if anything inspires me. I havenāt breathed spore-free air in what feels like years.
I think I could be okay with not having the sun if I had you. Having neither seemsā¦ unfair.
I suppose I deserve a bit of unfair.
_______________
2 months. Some very strange things have happened.
Firstly, I did take that walk. I very purposely avoided the part of the city where I heard you had settled, and then of course wound up walking right past a house that apparently belongs to your sister. I thought she was you for a moment and my heart stopped. Metaphorically, anyway.
I donāt love how much it destroyed me looking through a window and seeing someone I thought was you holding a child and kissing a spouse. Which is to say that it completely destroyed me even as it made me happy seeing you apparently happy.
Iām adding this experience to my list of reasons why forming attachments with other people is actually a bad idea and never worth it. I also have a list of reasons why attachments are good and worth it every time, which has only ever consisted of one item, which is your name. The good list wins every time, a fact which has also made its way to the bad list. No one person should have that much power!
If Iām not allowed to ascend, youāre not allowed to make me love you. Itās just as bad. You're drunk with power, darling, and it's time someone called you out on it.
Gods, youāve completely distracted me from my point. Anyway, after I finally remembered that 2 months would not have been long enough for you to grow and birth and raise a toddler, and after I looked into the window once more and realized your sister does not actually look much like you at all, and also after I looked at the mailbox and saw your second name with a different first name, I pieced things together. Not quickly enough to keep your family from noticing the crazed vampire staring in their window, Iām sorry to say. Do give them my regards.
But after that, I ran into someone I recognized from the palace. One of the butlers, I think, or a general thrall. He was so excited to see me that he stopped me in the middle of the street and started calling me āMasterā and babbling about having the carpets cleaned, so I said āstrange man, what the hells are you talking about??ā And he told me I was the most senior spawn still living and as suchā¦ have inherited the estate.
Now, I know this is difficult to believe given my refined manners and, well, my hair, but Iāve never actually owned a palace before. Much less one where I was trapped and tortured for a couple centuries. Itās a complicated situation. Everything is still very much in the air, but I wanted to tell you, and this is how I tell you things now. I will update you once I have an update.
_______________
I adopted a cat. I ran into Halsin on one of his supply runs into the city and he had His Majesty from Last Light with him. Apparently His Majesty had been picking fights with children (and more power to him, Iām sure youād say), and I remembered his regal little face and volunteered to take him in without a second thought.
We are stillā¦ feeling each other out. But I gave him his own room in the estate, which I think he appreciated. The cat, I mean. Halsin doesnāt get a room.
I also do not have a room in the estate, as I am unwilling to set foot inside the building until it has been completely gutted and cleaned and the dungeons walled off permanently. Strangely enough, our old friend Barcus sent me a great team of his people to handle the renovations. Demolitions, as you can imagine, have been smooth, if a bit too enthusiastic. The gnomes have also been very nice about the whole vampire thing and willing to work nights whenever I need to be there to make decisions.
On a related note, Iāve added another item to the long list of crimes Cazador committed: laying carpeting over completely gorgeous vintage wood flooring! Murder and torture is bad, but thatās a whole other level. Thank the gods we got that criminal off the streets.
(Did you notice I wrote his name out? And then made a little joke? I think Iām rather proud of myself for that)
For the first time Iām glad weāre spending this time apart, because truly all I can talk about is tiles and paint samples and upholstery and youād probably stake me within a couple days of being in my presence and it would be absolutely justified.
I ache for you.
_______________
3 months.
I have been thinking about my lists. I think, perhaps, itās a lot of pressure to put on someone, making them the sole positive attachment in your life.
I say this because Iāve been spending time with His Majesty to help him acclimate, and a gnome worker commented the other day that Iām the only living creature this cat will tolerate. It made me so sad, thinking of this lovely, affectionate cat who is only ever lovely and affectionate with me. Everyone elseās experience with him will always be negative. Iāll be the only one whoās sad when he dies, and people wonāt even be sympathetic to me because theyāll think, well, he wasnāt very nice anyway, good riddance.
It seems like we at least owe it to our loved ones not to leave them alone with their grief when we die.
And no, my love, I did not see the parallels to any vampire with which we are acquainted, at least not until Halsin came by to check on him on his way out of town and I gave him this whole monologue. And then he just sort of stood there looking at me until he very gently hinted that perhaps there are other people who would be willing to love the cat āif heād just show them his belly instead of his claws.ā
At that point I just thought he was hitting on me, but after he explained a little further I finally got what he was trying to say.
Which is how I ended up wine drunk with Halsin last night. We haveā¦ a surprising amount of things in common. It was disconcerting.
He also offered me some sort of mysterious substance from his pipe which I politely declined, and it was only after this that he told me a friend of his had smoked it just the night before and it had sent them into a panic attack. So if Halsin ever offers you his pipe, darling, just say no. Given your already nervous constitution, and I say this with love, youād be absolutely fucked.
Speaking of drunk! You may be wondering how Iāve been keeping myself fed. Some of the Sharess employees have picked up on the increased demand from all these newly-free vampires and have started offering blood drinking as a service, but Iām hesitant to drink from another humanoid. My siblings think Iām being a stick in the mud, but Iāve heard them talking about people theyāve tasted and none of them sound anywhere close to the experience of drinking from you. I feel as if Iāve only ever tasted the most exquisitely aged brandy and Iām being offered tiefling wine as a replacement. I just think it would break my heart.
That said, non-vermin animals have offered a surprising range of flavors. Iāve found Iām partial to owlbears. Something about the risk makes them taste better, I think. Sort of earthy and vegetal? Not bad. In the alcohol metaphor this would be something akin to a local brew. Still a downgrade, but different enough that it doesnāt sting as much.
My good list has 3 names now, by the way: you, Halsin (this was a wine decision, but Iām allowing it for now), and His Majesty.
_______________
4 months? I think?
Listen darling, Iāll just get this out of the way: Iāve had many glasses of brandy. Whatās that you say? How many is many? I stopped counting at six, my dear!
You know sometimes I think,Ā absence isĀ absence makes the heart grow fonder. And then I think of you, my blossom, my peach, my absolute tadpole (workshopping that one but i like it), and I think, well fuck. Maybe Iām making it up, maybe sheās not as wonderful as I remember?
And so I thik of all your worst qualities, and I concentrate so hard on them, and my love, my petal, my sweet corn, do you know what happens then? I canāt even think of any
OH wait, thatās not true. That thing when you talk and you have a bubble in your throat that you havenāt swallowed and your voice comes out weird and it makes me want to set myself on fire
Also youāre so hard on yourself, it drives me up an absolute wall. I just want to grab your shoulders and shake you and yell ābe nice to my girlfriendā
And then grab other things and shake themā¦?
Iām far too drunk to be seductive, but just imagine me saying some absolutely filthy things in your ear right now in that voice you like. YOU KNOW THE ONE. Gods, I canāt wait to use it on you again.
I just waaaaant. I want you here so bad all the time.
I want your smell and your touch and your skin and your everything everywhere on me and around me
Andā¦ in me? Cheeky, darling. Iām not saying no, but nowās hardly the time
Love and like and cherish and worship and want, a.
_______________
No one has ever felt this ill before and no one ever will again.
I refuse on principle to take back anything I wrote last night, but letās all agree to forget the corn thing, shall we?
And that cheeky bit at the endāreally very unbecoming of you to take advantage of an incapacitated elf like that. Again, Iām not saying no, just. The timing really makes me think less of you, love.
_______________
To be honest, darling, Iām running out of things to say. Six months is a month away and Iām trying so hard not to just watch the clock all day (well, all night).
Has this time been worth it? Nothing is worth this, but if I put aside the heartache, itās been amazing. I truly never thought Iād be able to becomeā¦ whoever it is Iāve become.
When the tadpole happened, I saw hope for the first time. I thought Iād finally have control over my life if I had control over the tadpole. If I had control over everything. I honestly never saw another way.
Itās a testament to you that you saw all of this coming from the beginning. You looked at me, this open wound oozing hurt and fear and anger, and you saw a person. You thought I was funny (admit it) and clever, and worth getting to know.
You gave me the space to say no to you, and loved me regardless.
I donāt think Iām nearly as powerful without you, darling. But over these months Iāve accomplished things Iām proud of all on my own, which is fairly unprecedented.
Iām beside myself with excitement to see you again, to give you a tour of this place. Youāll like what I did in the bedroom. And thatās not even a line, I genuinely think youāll appreciate the color palette! It reminds me of you.
And maybe if you like it we can engage in some mutual appreciation, if you know what I mean.
I don't, but maybe you do. My pickup lines have gone all to shit without you, my muse.
My good list has several names on it now. Yours is still at the top. But you're not the sole thing keeping me afloat anymore. I thought that would make me feel distant from you in some way. I never realized it would give me even more space to appreciate you for who you are instead of what you provide.
Knowing I donāt need you gives me more room to want you, I think.
Anyway, Iām not sure I have another one of these installments in me. Thank you for reading this far, if you have. The version of you who is sitting at your kitchen table reading this (thatās a guess but wouldnāt it be funny if it was right?) has been my companion for all these months, and I cherish her as I cherish every other version of you.
A.

I want to be clear, I donāt expect anything. I didnāt ask you to wait around pining for me for all this time, and I wouldnāt have wanted that anyway.
So if youāve moved on, if youāre happier where you are, if getting this letter ruins your dayāitās alright. I will miss you, maybe forever, but I have friends and a new line of work and a handsome son (to be clear Iām referring to His Majesty, I didnāt give birth since the last time I wrote). All of these things will keep me afloat.
However, if your heart and your life still have room for me, and if you think I would improve them with my presence, I will be overjoyed to share all of these things with you.
I want to meet your sister and hear you try to make conversation with her toddler. I want to show you everything Iāve done to update the estate, and I want you to make it feel like home just by being there. I want to hear all of your thoughts on Jaheira and Nine-Fingers and speculate on their love life.
I want it all, and I want it all with you.
See you soon, my love.

Hello, I absolutely adore the clothing you make for children, infants, toddlers, they are so cute!
However, I am aware of the fact that you do post your CC on Curseforge in addition to your own website and Patreon and given that the company that owns Curseforge, is them is an Israeli company that did a crowdfunding campaign for the IDF which supports the ongoing genocide against Palestinians, I want to ask if you could remove your downloads from Curseforge entirely. I hope this doesn't come off as demanding or aggressive in any way, but by divesting from Curseforge, we also divest from Israel's economy completely and perhaps it seems small in comparison, but it would be a small way to show support for Palestine. Thank you for listening, and again, I hope I don't come off as impolite in any way.
Hello to anon and everyone who might have been waiting for a response from me. I want to thank you for treating me with respect and that I have not (yet) received any threatening messages or similar. It is very difficult for me to write the following message in my native language, let alone post a translated version of it. Everything I write here comes from the heart and merely describes my personal situation.
First of all, I want to express that I, personally, and my internet persona "PowLuna" in no way stand for oppression, violence, exclusion, or worse. The situation has certainly not passed me byāquite the opposite. The discourse on the topic has caused me to engage deeply with the subject, keep myself regularly updated, and talk a lot about it in my personal environment, educating others. Due to experiences I had as a teenager, I no longer express my opinions regarding a lot of topics on the internet. However, I must do so now because it is very important to me and it currently affects my daily life significantly in terms of depression and existential fears.
I want to express my sorrow for all the suffering that people in Gaza and all Palastinians endure daily. The things one encounters on the internet are cruel and heartbreaking, and denying that something terrible is happening there is wrong. I feel the same about all atrocities happening anywhere in the world, whether far away or in my neighborhood. I hope every day for peace throughout the world. A utopian wish, I know.
Now to what might be controversial: I will not participate in the boycott against CurseForge. At least not as far as requested. I no longer actively promote the links for it; that was a kind of compromise I could make. You can judge me for this or not. But let me first describe my situation. I believe that pressuring individual small creators is not the right way in this situation, as you can never guess who is behind the internet personas and what stories they carry with them.
I come from a family that has always lived in poverty. After finishing school and completing an apprenticeship, I thought about studying so that I could do more with my potential. I moved away for my studies and had to stand completely on my own feet. I had saved a little money. For the rest of the support and because a part-time job would have hindered my ability to perform well, I applied for financial aid from the state. This is possible here in Germany. I can keep half of the money, and the other half I have to pay back after my studies. All well and good. While studying, I found a great interest in creating custom content and sharing it with others. I taught myself more and more skills and gradually shared them with others because I really enjoy to help people.
In 2022, I decided to make money with what I do. So, I had to register a business. That's mandatory here. I started with Patreon, where I gathered some subscribers who believed in my potential from the start, for which I am very grateful. I always appeal to the good in people, worked "hard," uploaded more and more stuff to convince people, and get more voluntary subscribers. This didnāt work out as expected. So, I switched to an early access model, which actually brought more subscribers, but I wasn't really happy with it, so I moved away from it a few months later. I lost more and more subs over time, while still giving the same effort as before.
Shortly after, I was invited to the CurseForge project, to which I confidently agreed because I already knew CurseForge and saw a lot of potential for the Sims area. I also find the platform really good and many changes I wished for were implemented. And yes, CurseForge has given me a steady income since then, sometimes more, sometimes less, but still far from what I made with voluntary subscribers on Patreon. I felt really proud because I suddenly earned good money with something I am passionate about. And I did it all by myself!
But this income brought new obligations: I have to pay taxes. Additionally, I no longer receive financial support from the state and won't be able to get it again.
The whole discourse has shown me that self-employment always carries a risk when you rely on a platform, so I switched back to the Patreon early access model for more security. However, I still can't live off that alone. Therefore, I continue to host my creations on CurseForge. Considering their statement from a few months ago and because I believe in the good in people, I don't see a problem with it. Of course, the economic aspect plays a role, but I am also not "clean" when I pay my taxes here in Germany, which are then used for the same purpose.
To demand that I delete all my stuff means taking away my livelihood and existence. I don't think that's fair. And yes, I know this is privileged, and my fears are not comparable to the fears of people in Gaza. Never.
All this does not mean that I am indifferent. As I said, I talk to other people about the topic, I inform myself, and as soon as I am able and have saved some money, I want to support the children in the region with donations. This has always been my approach to conflicts and crises around the world.
It is important to keep talking about the topic so that hopefully, one day, it will reach the people who can put an end to the horror.
Thank you for reading. If anything is unclear, please feel free to ask.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Review Pt. 2 - "How to move on?", On Solas & Rook
DA:TV Spoilers ahead!
Pt. 1 is here
Which brings me to Solas and Rook: how does Solas move on?
The fascinating thing about Solas is that ā¦he doesnāt. He errs too much in both directions ā he both takes too much personal responsibility and ascribes too much to systemic responsibility. Ā How is that possible? I suspect it is because, and hereās the kicker, he IS the system, in his mind. āYou were never ready to make the sacrifices that leadership requiresā, he says as he betrays Rook like he has betrayed the Inquisitor, like he has betrayed Felassan, like he has betrayed Mythal. There is so much he regrets but in his memory, we do not see him regretting the acts (like severing the Titansā dreams or the fall-out of the war) as much as the precursors, the moments where he failed to convince others of his own better judgement / was (arguably) coerced into making a choice or remaining passive (like taking a physical form; like being unable to convince the Evanuris not to become āgodsā and conquer; unable to convince them not to use the Blight; etc.) Ā Ā Ā
It makes sense: he is wisdom, but he is also pride. Being humble would require him to acknowledge the limitations of his power and influence; being prideful is what leads him to āā¦but what if?ā again and again. It is the same rebellious stubbornness that leads him to oppose the tight grip and tyranny of the Evanuris, the same voice that whispers: āNo. It could be better. I should have known better. I could make it better. I am wisdom. I know the way. This is why I took a physical form. This is my job. My failing.ā Instead of accepting that his own power only goes so far; that he is only part of the system and not all of it, he instead runs against this wall again and again, thinking that it was an error in approach and strategy (and those can be fixed!), not in power and assumed responsibility. He IS the system; he just has to get the system RIGHT. āI must fix what I have broken,ā indeed.
And this is where Rook comes in. When mourning him, Dream-Varric tells them: āShit. Didnāt you learn anything from this place? /I/ made the choice. To talk to him. To try to reach him. (ā¦) My decision. My sacrifice. And you donāt get to take that from me.ā That is the vital lesson that Solas never learned: it is not all on him. The other Evanuris made their choices, and he was just one player among many. Each time his actions had unforeseen consequences, he tried to go back, fix it, and undo what had been done, on a grander and grander scale, rather than facing the consequences head on, forgiving himself, and working with this new reality. This is the lesson that Rook learns in the Fade Prison ā āhow do we move onā? By accepting the current circumstance for what they are, and letting go of the assumption that everything could be under your control if you had just tried hard enough (fitting for a protagonist whose biggest skill is āwinging itā). There will always be other people, other thoughts, other approaches, and each person is responsible for their own decisions; you just for your own. Ironically, the sooner you accept that, the more power you will have ā as can be seen in all the companionsā quests, and the āgoodļæ½ļæ½ Rook/Solas ending. Solas: āThe things that I have doneā¦ā Mythal: āAre not for you alone to bear, my friend. The many wrongs we did, we did together.ā
This admission of guilt outside of himself; this owning up to responsibility, allows Solas, for the first time, to see himself as an equal player with others, not one who has failed to set the stage just so, and to leave his denial behind ā to stop trying to fix the past so it all never happened ā and to accept the consequences of his actions and move on. For the first time, he says āI will seek atonementā, not āI will fix my mistakesā. Whether it makes complete sense in-universe to leave the Veil where it is, I cannot say, but as an emotional truth, there is real pay-off to this: Solas accepts that the past has happened (really, fully, truly accepts it) and that it cannot be undone, no matter the trickery or blood and tears poured into the open wound. We must learn to live with and integrate what we have done and who we are, not deny or reject it as part of ourselves ā that is the lesson learned in all the companionsā quests, and it is what Solas has now learned, too. For the first time in a long time, Solas believes in a future.
As it is, this is a beautiful story worth telling. But for two reasons, I cannot rate the entirety of Veilguard anywhere above 7/10. The first is Rook, the second the issue of community.
On Rook: like with Taash, I do believe that the ideas are all here. It is the execution that makes me a little sad. The idea clearly was to contrast Rook with Solas (which worked particularly well for my headstrong male elf Rook, which I loved ā also shout-out to Alex Jordan, the male British VA, who absolutely killed it!), and to show that, by the end, Rook has moved beyond Solasā self-imprisonment to become a true leader of their people. Cool. But whereās the arc?
All of the companions (and Solas) have to face something that they were afraid to confront in their own lives. What is Rook afraid of? I think the game wants this to be Varricās death, and thus, the moment they accept that he is gone, he is able to escape the Fade Prison and defeat Solas. But WHY are they scared of Varricās death? Again, I think the game WANTS this to be the burden of leadership but one of my biggest notes on the game is āburden of leadership where?ā. For what I suspect were get-on-with-it game mechanics and time-constraint reasons, Rook clicks into leadership with complete ease (or at least my predominantly red/assertive Rook did ā I suppose it feels different when choosing the teary-eyed responses?).
From the beginning, Rook is hyper-competent, never questioned in their position as a leader (why not Harding? Why not Neve? Especially since it seems to be dead-Varric appointing them?), and never falters under pressure. There is not one moment where I could say that Rook truly messed up and had to learn from their mistakes/accept the consequences of their actions. True, I did also play them as very competent and didnāt, for example, rush into the final battle without bolstering the factions and training my companions, but if this is an integral part of the story that every player should experience, it should be hard-coded into game.
Ultimately, Rook felt to me more like the platonic ideal of a character than a real person, which is a shame. Personally, I think this storyline would have lent itself really well to bringing back the Dragon Age prologues from DA:O ā show me Rook messing up a mission (and let us really get to know the factions)! Let them start from the bottom up! Let them grapple with what it means to be a leader by constantly casting their mind back on what they have done wrong! Let them be an even stronger mirror to Solas!
Again, I think that the game wanted to do something like this with the Varric reveal and you āsacrificingā Davrin/Assan or Harding, but neither is actually Rookās āfaultā by any measure, and they come so late in the game that the Fade Prison sequence has to really rush you through the process of acceptance. Here, too, I would have loved more of a feeling of time passing by ā it is the equivalent of the lost-in-the-snow scene in Inquisition (which I loved!), and just a bit more artistry would have really taken an already great chapter up a notch (e.g. show Rookās vision blurring, passing out, coming to ā āwhere am I? How long have I been here?ā, show the surroundings cracking, seasons changing, Rook trying desperately to remember their friends, their system failing ā āwhen did I last eat? Drink? Do I still need to? Am I dead?ā, really driving home the thematic significance of the grieving process before ascending to acceptance ā being haunted by statues appearing suddenly behind them whenever they turn, being thrown back into memories where the companions are washed out, etc. And let them REALLY grieve if they lost their love interest!)
That is to say: the other characters have to grapple ā Rook gets to move on almost immediately. I also saw a tumblr post (which I unfortunately did not save; please let me know if you find it) that says that what was truly missing from DA:TV was a final scene in which the door closes behind Rook, job well done, and Rook just falls on their knees and all the pressure comes slamming down, and they break with a sob, a scream, or a laugh (with their LI or the whole team to catch them), and God, yes. The scene in Trespasser where the Inquisitor gets to actually lose their shit for a moment (āShit! Damn it! We save Ferelden, and theyāre angry! We save Orlais, and theyāre angry! We close the breach! Twice! And my own hand wants to kill me! Could one thing in this fucking world just stay fixed!?ā) solidified them as one of my favourite characters of all time; it made them feel real. Rook? Gets none of that. (And I say that, again, as someone who played a red/assertive Rook. He got to be angry plenty, but rarely every felt like he was letting us, the players, or his companions into the depths of his soul. Vulnerable? Insecure? Thatās for the companions, not the capital-h Hero.) Unfortunately, that leaves Rookās character development somewhat underbaked.
Pt. 3 is here

Letter with lipstick || Ada Wong x female reader
Warnings: none
(remind me if I missed any)
- Resident evil 4 masterlist link -
Y/Nās pov:
Earlier:
Sitting on my bed, i stared down at the letter in my hands. Her handwriting was beautiful, less of the words she wrote to me. Sheās on a mission again, all the way in spain and couldnāt tell me one thing about it, neither why she was there. āItās importantā, she committed to the paper i was holding.
She just ended the letter with āLove, Adaā, as my eyes landed on the kiss she placed right next to it, with the lipstick she always wore. The kinda red i love seeing on her and she knew all about it. I let out a sigh, āThe woman that you are, Ada.ā, i said, folding it together again.
Ada and I are close, too close just to be partners. We āslippedā one time and in the next moment you saw our lips all up on each others.
I missed her. I couldnāt stand the thought of now not seeing her again for who knows how long. Sheās good at what sheās doing, fulfilling her job just for everyone to be more than satisfied and i was feeling proud of her, for how far she has come. But the thought of losing her, especially when sheās so far away, has taken over my brain.
I informed myself about the situation, asking everybody for detailed answers. Anybody needs to know where sheās at, no? They werenāt down right away to tell me, but eventually gave in. Who were they to stop her from going there? Exactly, she did her own thing, going after whatās happening in rural spain.
āI need you to take me there.ā, i commanded, standing tall against them. There was nothing they could do about this either. Iām not easily giving up, someone must have the trust to let me āsurpriseā my woman. At least thatās what i liked to call it. I know Ada will be more than caught off to see me, however she wouldnāt mind. Quite the opposite. I canāt expect much different than a nice welcome.
Present:
Now here i am. Iāve been dropped off by the helicopter and one of my kind co workers who brought me to this place. I can thank him a lot for this, i guess i owe him something but thatās not my worry yet. I have to find her. So i didnāt think much, i rather started looking at the area around me.
It looks like a farm, the area is completely destroyed. I walked over dead bodies, scrunching up my face in confusion. Nothing iāve never seen before, but someone mustāve been the cause of this. Was it Ada?
I was informed about a little story, so i went careful into this. I was here for only one thing actually. Ada. Whatever comes in my way isnāt as much as important as her, nothing is. No one else. I was ready to be confronted by her pretty self and sped up my walking through the paths and winding ways.
I was prepared for everything. I had my weapons and all that i could possibly need. Iād do anything to bring us both out of here. Anything for us. She surely knows i donāt give up easily and most definitely wouldnāt on her. No one even compares to her and the way she makes me feel. Thereās no one quite like Ada.
I needed answers though. Am i really on the right track? I guess i was answering my own questions and thoughts when i came across a giant creature laying eliminated on the ground. Who else couldāve defeated it? She was here, i was more than convinced.
I jogged along the stony and muddy path, when i suddenly heard something. I slowly moved forwards to where those sounds came from, confirming myself that iām hearing voices. It was all blurry and i didnāt know whose it might be. Till i made out the statute of a familiar woman. My eyes landed on her, my woman.
āNo way..ā, i whispered to myself, taking one more step towards her. āAda!ā, i shouted, catching her attention. Her body turned around, slightly facing me. I felt something in my stomach, when i saw her face. She immediately recognized me, her gaze softening but then again with confusion written all over her. She was completely stunned and couldnāt seem to move.
āY/N?ā, she said in a questioning tone, as i moved over to where she was standing. I was about to open my mouth, before i glanced down. A man stood there, his eyebrows were furried together as my face expression could be read as jealous. Who the fuck is he?
āY/N. Look at me.ā, i heard her soothing voice close to my face, interrupting my staring interaction with that guy. I slowly turned my head, seeing the slight worry on her. āWhat are you doing here? How did you get here in the first place? Are you hurt?ā, she placed her hand on my arm, only ever showing so much weakness around me.
āIām okay, Ada. I came here just for one reason, it was a pretty long flight.ā, i explained, looking into her eyes that always shined so beautiful. āWhat about you?ā, i asked as she moved her hand down to grab my own. āIām on this mission, i was doing fine till i saw you. Now iām feeling even better.ā, she gave me a small wink before that strange man interrupted us.
āUhm? Iām still here.ā, he said in a nervous tone, letting out a playful chuckle. āWho is-ā, āI have a deal with him.ā, Ada interrupted my question, knowing what i was about to ask. She knew how protective i can be of her. Not in a controlling way though, most things i do are out of worry, making sure sheās doing as okay as she always claims.
āI got a name too, lady.ā, āIām Luis. You must be that girlfriend Ada kept mentioning and talking about.ā, he continued. Adaās eyes widened in response as a smirk formed on my face. So she called me her girlfriend behind my back? āWell yes i am.ā, i confirmed very proudly, as i could see a rose color appear on her cheeks.
I placed a gentle kiss on her cheek, taking her hand in mine. āI missed you, Ada.ā, i whispered and watched her nervous state. āI missed you even more, Y/N.ā I smiled at her, before looking down at Luis once more. āYou surely donāt mind.ā, i said, pulling Ada with me as we walked away from that scene.
āHey! How am i supposed to get up here though?!ā, Luis yelled after us, all desperate. We both chuckled to ourselves and i took Ada to a quiet place. I moved close to her body, our face just a few inches apart. āI came here just for you.ā, i whispered, tilting my head a little to the side.
āOh what would i do without you, Y/N.ā, Ada responded in her typical flirty voice. āBe glad you have me.ā, i muttered, closing the gap between us. Itās been way too long since the last time i felt her soft lips against mine. They tasted just like cherries.

Bridgerton folks, this is the end of this story. Thank you for all your support and encouragement! See you maybe tomorrow with a meme, definitely on Monday with Daddy!Colin (and I'll do also Pirate!Colin, and then starting on the 9th of December something really nice for the whole festivity period, so stay tuned...)
This is "5 times Colin Pen's first and one time she was his", enjoy!
(Moirin - post writing - would suggest a tissue... Fair warning)
---
"We kissed. Bloody hell, me and Pen kissed. I had the courage to ask her and she admitted it was her first kiss because she was waiting for me. I'm still wrapping my mind about that. I am completely obsessed with her and she was waiting for me. How blind must I be to not see her sooner? And yet, she asked me to ask her again about the kiss. I did and she nodded. I've not kissed a lot of girls (and a couple of boys... A couple of times, just to know) but that kiss felt like a revelation.
I heard so many people saying that when you find the right one, you just know. I didn't understand. Until Pen and I kissed. Was this love?
Just in front of me this whole time?
And as the kiss deepened and we started making out, I could feel my heart racing and my heart spinning. She was there the whole time. "
They separated for a beat before going back for another one. And ohhh that might be a problem. Because now that he knows what Pen taste like, he is not sure he can go back.
Turns out they don't need to separate because Pen is right on the same page with him. He whispered against her lips "I don't think you can rid of me now, Pen" and her smile was the best thing he ever saw.
The Serengeti? Way overrated.
The lights of New York at New Year's Eve? They could not hold against Pen kissing him and smiling like that. "I was hoping you'd say that," she said and their hands slide together.
Suddenly he feels like a real idiot, because he knew that she was his way before. He was just on the cusp of puberty, when Pen took his hand for the first time and he knew at such young age. He knew with a certainty that he had lost somewhen over the years. He knew that could never been something else like this.
It took years all over the world and a couple (or more) dreams for him to rediscover that deep truth he knew all along.
He told her about that and Pen shed a tear. "I remember that day, it's when I knew I'd never love someone the way I love you," and fĆ¹ck, wasn't he about to say the same thing?
Pen told him about an exercise her therapist ask her to do. To describe a day in her future. "I don't need to read it, I know by heart."
She told him of a marvelous day waking up cuddled with her husband ("that's you", she said and his heart somersault), the kids (another somersault) home from school.
A walk near the sea or by the lake after breakfast and then while the kids play she and her husband ("me, me, me" was thinking Colin) writing by their desk, trying to not get distracted by each other presence like so often happens (a wink on her side, oh... He can't wait to get to know that side of her soon). A nice lunch together and then going on a little adventure in the afternoon all together.
And at night, after supper ad putting the kids to bed, finally she ad her husband will have some time alone ("I left it vague here, but if you want to, I can give you a description of the night as well," and Colin must have died there).
"I like that day," Colin says, as she sheds tears of happiness.
"It never felt like a possibility, until now."
That deserved another kiss.
Their second kiss. And yet it still feel it like the first.
"I wonder if our kiss would still be the same thrill in 50 years," Colin says and she is absolutely convinced it will. Colin is sure too.
"A life for first with you, seems like the perfect life for me," she says again, and as he takes her hand and kiss her, Colin whispered on her lips "I could not agree more."
The end

Can we discuss how Evil Gideon was lying, though?
I was thinking today about how completely unrealistic the Astra runs for President prediction was and the more I think about it, a lot of the other predictions don't add up. I'm going to go through in the order they were in the episode.
(She may not have been purposefully lying but she definitely just showed them whatever Chat GPT popped out.)
Zari: Seems plausible on the surface, but I have some concerns.
Her award show dress is UGLY. The red color is pretty but the orangey overlay ruins it. The ruching is in the worst possible place and makes her look larger than she is right through the middle. The bottom is kind of wrinkled. And then she has really small, understated jewelry and her hair up, so there's nothing interesting at all going on in the shoulder/neck region. Zari dresses better than that.
She makes billions with her cosmetics company. Despite the fact that we have repeatedly been told throughout the show that she is terrible at selling cosmetics. Her lip kits don't even sell. Everybody has lips! Her perfume destroys people's sense of smell.
Audible lipstick. Not a thing anyone wants. Not a thing that makes any sense. Evil Gideon is making this stuff up. And yes, it's the future, but nothing we've seen of the 2040s on Legends really looks all that much more technologically advanced than what we have now.
EG fails to consider that Zari has grown as a person since whatever info she has in her files, which is the whole reason Zari is upset about the prediction. It's plausible that she would go back to her career as it was, but she cares about people now. She would absolutely be doing some sort of philanthropy.
She's so pretty. But also, I'm not 100% convinced that that even is a dress because it looks like they may have just shoved a piece of fabric at her and said "here, hold this under your arms."
Behrad:
Totally plausible that he could become famous, either for his talent or via his connections, but he has never wanted to be famous. You expect me to believe that the man who hid in bed to avoid imaginary TV cameras is going to purposefully go into a career of being on camera?
He can't account for his whereabouts for several years of his adult life. He is not passing a background check to become a children's performer.
His record is called "Grey Hound to the Moon." Which is great, except that both the bus company and the dog spell it Greyhound. One word.
Avalance:
Knowing what we know now about Sara's biology, this is plausible.
But I feel like they might run into some issues trying to sign their kid up for school when one of them is legally dead and the other was never legally born.
Do kids get to do video calls from camp these days? I don't know. I am old. I had to bring quarters to the designated calling home payphones at a predetermined time to talk to my parents.
Gwyn:
He knows too much. They can't send him back to the 1920s. All of the Legends are aberrations waiting to happen, but sending anyone to the past is a no-no.
If they are going to send him back, wouldn't it make more sense to send him back to New York? Since that's where he last was?
Nate:
He has to somehow convince someone to publish a book about how time travel is real. Nate Heywood. Who you may recall from that controversial fake documentary about time travel a few years back. He seems like a reliable source.
You don't grow a hideous beard over the Heywood jawline. You just don't.
His TV interview is totally bogus. Nate knows how to schmooze. He's not going to be all "I can't answer your simple question about what time travel feels like because you must first read all 500 pages of my book."
"I never said that out loud before but that is the title I picked out." Gideon can literally monitor your dreams, dude. I know that she's never personally kidnapped you and put you into a time loop, but she knows things.
Astra:
Remember how she couldn't find a job in season 6? Because she's legally dead and legally still a child? She also has no education, no work experience, and a grand total of like 6 people who can vouch for her existence. She is a mess. No idea if she's legally eligible to run.
And she definitely wouldn't win, given that all of the above would definitely come out. She also doesn't look her legal age (which barely makes her old enough to qualify), she's terrible at keeping her temper, and she's literally a witch.
Also, she runs in 2040. We know for a fact that Dwayne Johnson is the President in 2045. So at best, she gets 1 term.
That wig is preposterous.
Spooner:
Again, she definitely knows too much to go back to the 1920s.
Everyone is already suspicious of Gloria Cruz. You don't think they're going to have questions when her daughter goes missing and then some 20-something shows up out of nowhere?
They are not running an apothecary. They are getting burned at the stake.
