Okay okay okay

So

More thoughts on Reynie being a child of Aphrodite

One day, maybe a week after he's been claimed, Reynie is walking in the woods. He's trying to avoid the other campers, skirting the line between "So far that he's going to attract monsters" and "Far enough that no one will find him"

It's not that he doesn't like the other campers, it's just that, even after Kate and Constance (And probably Martina too) threatened half of camp into submission, nothing changes

The other kids, especially his cabin mates, keep touching him. Leaning on him (But not like Constance, soft and subtle, haft-reluctant affection), tapping at his shoulders (But not like Sticky, gentle and timid, but with a growing trust), and pulling him everywhere (Which, while it did not hurt as much as Kate's grasp, was still burningly unfamiliar)

And it's so uncomfortable. He feels like he can barely breathe, like he's crawling out of his skin to get away from soft hands and long nails and heady perfume. And no one listens when he asks for space, no one notices when he stiffens or shrinks back or stumbles at the unexpected arm around his waist; the hand on his wrist; the invasive closeness when someone leans so hard against you that all you can see is their teeth and their eyes and you wonder if this not unlike how a small rabbit may feel in the presence of a hungry predator

So, he's in the woods

And as he's walking, a woman appears out of the trees, and he knows instantly that it's her

And he freezes

Because he doesn't... hate her (Not that Reynie Muldoon could hate anyone) But, he doesn't know her. He's never met her before, never seen her apart from paintings, let alone in a capacity where he knew her to be his mother

And he just wants to know why. Why she left, why she didn't even care. How could she just... forget him? Was he really so terrible, that his own mother wouldn't even bother to find him? It was one thing if she knew that he had a mortal parent to protect him, but after he'd been placed in the orphanage?

She didn't care even then? When the monster attacks got worse and Miss Perumal had to fight to keep him there, to keep him safe, to keep him off the streets?

What had he done so wrong, even as a baby?

And of course, she fawns over him and pats his cheeks and runs her hands all over him with an unearned familiarity and coos and asks why on Earth he hasn't been staying in her cabin? Especially now that he knows he has siblings and a home now?

He responds politely, unsure how to handle this. She continues and seems disgusted that he'd rather stay with the Apollo or Ares or let alone Athena campers (She doesn't know about Constance yet), and that's almost enough for Reynie to stand up in defense of his friends, when she suddenly switches topics.

She continues scrutinizing his appearance, commenting on his clothes and his hair and his stance. Doesn't he know he's a son of Aphrodite? He should strut with the confidence of a dozen fashion models (And doesn't that make Reynie cringe. Strut? Not on his life, no thank you) Why isn't he wearing better clothes? It may have been alright when he was living in that dirty mortal building, but now, now that he's been claimed and he has his brothers and sisters to provide him with clothing, why is he still in sweater vests and khakis? Did they not have things up to his style? She could find outfits for him if he'd rather, it's been so long since she got to play dress-up with one of her children—

And with each word Reynie gets smaller and smaller. He knew that this was wrong somehow, had hoped it was a mistake, but this was worse. He was the mistake

Aphrodite prattles on. He looks so average and boring, but doesn't he know? Isn't he aware? If he just changed his clothes and wore some makeup and walked as if he owned everything, which he basically did, because even she had heard whispers of his charm-speak, the world would fall at his feet. He may be basic and nondescript, but no one need notice. With all the glitter and fancy jewelry and maybe a girl on his arm and definitely with his words, no one would ever look at his face.

No one would ever know that part of him

He'd be untouchable; stunning for some unknown and unattainable reason. And they could get people to help him with his sense of style and everything, what he really needed to do was come with her for a bit and they could see what his voice could do. She wouldn't be surprised if it had an effect even on an Olympian, with how powerful it was among half-bloods.

And it's at this moment, as Reynie is stuttering to speak, trying to find some way out of the maze of her gossipy chatter and make himself heard (Not that it would work. Not that it had worked all week. Maybe this was his life now, the strongest words in the world sealed behind his lips so he didn't hurt anyone as he was pushed and dragged from place to place where he didn't want to be)

It is right then that Kate appears, Martina at her side and Sticky and Constance right behind them.

The older girls had come straight from combat practice, still in their armor, as soon as Sticky and Constance had told them that they couldn't find Reynie

Kate challenges the goddess, pointing a sword at her even as the boys look at her with twin looks of terror. Aphrodite laughs, wondering aloud what such a strange and out of place group of campers could want with her son.

Constance pushes in front, swallowtail wings flared wide, stating that Reynie doesn't belong to anyone, let alone her. The two regard each other, silent and full of vitriol. Aphrodite hisses that Constance has nothing to do with this, and she should stay out of it.

The little girl points out that this has everything to do with her, especially as Aphrodite has yet to release her grip on Reynie's shoulders. Constance takes a risk, daring the goddess if she wants to deal with Psyche, and that proves to be too much of a bother for her.

Aphrodite fists a hand in Reynie's shirt before smoothing it out again, promising she'll be back. And then she disappears in a haze of pink mist, a thick cloud of expensive Olympian perfume.

And then Reynie is surrounded, hugs and reassuring pats on the back and careful fingers lacing through his own, and for the first time in ages it doesn't hurt. It isn't burning or cold or shocking. It is unexpected, yes, but not uninvited. He trusts these people.

And whatever his mother has to say about things, well, that doesn't matter right now. All that matters is that his friends came for him, his friends listened and helped him, and he didn't even have to ask. They just knew, without him saying a word

why does an exciting monaco race have to happen when i can't watch most of it.

[heleizition]

AIGHT im back and i did the reading and i need to know e v e r y t h i n g about the naruto au im not even fucking around. the amount of times ive fixated on that shit despite never finishing it is unreal. also which one was the one that got beheaded? because thats superb shit and i require more information to rotate them in my mind

HIIIIIII thank u so much for this ask i saw it at work and i was SO EXCITED to get home and tell u all about a) the naruto au b) eden who's the one who gets beheaded :3

BTW you can find the art i did of my ocs by checking out the tags on my blog of their name (ex nell art is under #nell, vik's is under #vik ...)

i'll start with eden !!! he's my token white haired guy (altho i have also a white haired girl in the same group of oc lol) to whom i do many terrible things. ever since i created him he's had a scenario where his neck got hurt (electric shock to his neck, knife injury, beheading to simply head explosiong lmao). he's an angel in the angel/demon scenario and the village's doctor in the farm au :3 he's always some sort of healer ! (he's that one "im a healer but... *cocks gun*" meme)

in the angel au he has extraordinary healing powers that antagonists want for themselves until they realise eden is not gonna give under the pressure and side with them so they behead him/make his head explode. not quite sure whcih one yet <3. except he doesn't die bc his power is more. body manipulation than healing and it acts by itself and stitch him back together . its a very traumatizing process but in return he destroys the other guys : D he's often nell's best friend in aus... moody guys who become menaces together. he was supposed to end up w jasper when i very first made him but eh !!!

THE NARUTO AU

okay so . disclaimer most of what i know of naruto is memories from what i watched when i was a young teen and a lot of sakura centered fanfics ive read the past few months lol

the story focus on on genin team but for the sake of the story ill jst go and talk abt the others too :

a) main genin team is nell, vik, lena and their teacher abel

b) second genin team is belly, jasper and eden with their teacher noah

c) cody is basically tsunade, titania is a civilian from a noble family who has a whole side story with lena lol

nell and belly (twins) are illegitimate kids from a clan's girl, who possess the clan's kekkei genkai. no i dont know what it is yet it's not even relevant to the story SEFJSEFOSFJOE

once their mother die they're put under the care of their mother's clan, where they're not rly treated well,,,, belly is a natural as using the clan's technic while nell isn't,,, they stick together but they're treated different and it sucks. tbh nell and belly's ways of dealing with family trauma is a recurring theme in all of the universes they're part of...

nell's fighting style focus on ice jutsu mostly, he's not a powerhouse but he's deadly. belly is more of a brawler type but i havent figured it out much yet :]

vik is an orphan who was groomed into roots (in universe it's a secret unit of ninjas like anbu but it's controlled by danzou who's a fucker and stole kekkei genkai including sharingans by STEALING DEAD PEOPLE'S EYES), who want's belly & nell's clan's kekkei genkai, and who's sent to pass as a new genin in nell's team to gain his trust and kill him and take his eyes,,, theres prob something going on to take belly's also but i havent gotten that far lol

lena (my BABYGIRL) is a civilian, born from a big player merchant family, who's supposed to inherit her parent's role but does Not want to :] she's lovely she's great she has a lot of chakra that she uses for summons (tigers!!!) and also she IS a powerhouse (uses . axes). not the most usefull of spy missions lol i love her <3

abel, in most of my stories, is a big brother figure to most of the kids especially nell,,,, i have not figured out yet what exaclty he does in this au BUT he and cody are old buddies and are destined to be together in all of my aus. anyway

quick other stuff, belly is very angry in hte beginning like her brother and does not know how to work with a team, jasper is kind and gentle and has to learn how to deal with her, also later masters mokuton (tree/plants jutsu) (which makes him very precious and rare), eden is once again a healer in this except he also works with poisons. bitch

and their teacher, noah, also works in torture and interrogation which will come up later.

basically the story follows nell's team as they meet and start working with each other, vik realising that maybe he's doing something that he shouldn't, almost kills nell once when infiltrating his living place but manages to get out when he hears belly coming in, discovers the power of friendship, then they're sent in the death forest for their chunin exam, antagonist guy sends more roots agents bc vik can't do the job, vik protects nell and lena, spills as much of the beans as he can before the seal in his throat starts to paralyze him, nell holds on to him for dear life and fights the other roots, lena gets one of her summoned tiger to go find eden and his team who save the day & also vik...

once vik is saved he cooperated with t&i and noah, who works on the case, adopts him,,, all is well. its not much . i feel like i had more thoughts lmao but its all messy in my head <3 thank u for reading

[wakanai]

random sharing because i saw my friend going through something similar.. and idk if someone 🐊would appreciate it or maybe feel more related to? but im just going to share for the sake of it..

random stuff..

I have a grandfather who has alzhiemers (dad's side) and it's sad. He can remember my dad and my dad's sisters. And my dad takes care of him financially and visits him from time to time when he can.

My grandfather did some bad stuff too. left his old family and started a new one. (my dad was the new one).

I was disgusted and hated him a bit when I heard the story. - - but my dad loves him anyway.

Visited him recently this month and he had a heartwarming moment w my dad. I also interacted w him a bit. He's nice and even tho he did some awful stuff, I do hope he gets better soon.

Something something about people can change etc. Idk. I'm not coherent enough rn :(

But it's really cool how much love can.. yk endure things..
