Markus is a very romantic man

°From the moment the two came together, it was something the general of the Roman army valued, something he did not want to lose. He did not want to lose the one love that gave him hope for a better Rome and a better life. Which is why he was always with them from the first day their love blossomed, his hand always gently laying on their fingers, rough and battle-worn, gently laying on his partner's hand. ,,As beautiful as Aphrodite and Apollon,” he said in praise, knowing that even if it was written on love parchment, it had the desired effect and he pressed a kiss on their cheek. °Acacius is a romantic man, someone who, despite everything he had learned, always remembered that in a gruesome world like this, there were things that deserved to be treated gently. No matter if he was still sweaty and dirty after a battle, the triumphal march could wait, he was on his way to thee. ,,I had to see you, to know that you're okay,” he said, and he wrapped his heart in a hug, finally having his love with him again. ,,You're back, that's the most important thing". He heard the cracked voice, interspersed with relief and fear, finally having Acacius back. He would shower his partner with kisses and, above all, cuddles when he arrived. It was cold outside on the battlefield, but it was warm and loving with his heart, in their shared home. °At night, when the moon was high, however, both were also plagued by nightmares of losing Acacius and the fear of losing his life and thus also them, the couple would meet again and again on the balcony of the house. Together, wrapped in blankets, looking up at the sky, snuggling up to each other, trying to find some distraction, ,,Even the gods can't seem to sleep,” they said, and the older one could swear that the stars were reflected in his partner's eyes, and he gave them another gentle kiss. °But even if the nights were cool and short, the two of them stayed together, especially at official functions and the few parties. Acacius always had a hand on her hip or was about to announce that he had his love with him. ,,We'll be gone as soon as possible,” he promised and the two of them simply tried to stay together, to to drink wine and to try the delicacies, where he couldn't help but occasionally place a grape on their lips or watch in love as his dear one listened to the instruments in amusement. His heart was simply the most divine thing he had. °To get away from such places, it was easy: a quick pretense of errands for the army, tactical discussions, and, as one would believe the general, “Let's just disappear!” he shouted as he ran ahead of the carriage, just to saddle the horses on their common ride. One of the things he loved was riding, whether alone or together. He simply loved to ride next to his sweetheart, holding hand and talk about trivial topics or just enjoy nature. ,,My lively breath of wind,” they smiled as Acacius enjoyed all the peace and quiet. For both of them it was soothing to get out of the city, to finally have peace and quiet. Having each other was what mattered. °They would get away together, they had promised each other that, no matter whether it took days, weeks or months, they would get away together. The moment the emperors died, as Rome burned, he had packed their things and sneaked off towards the harp with his connections. A few hours later, they were on their way to a new life, to places where they could find peace together. ,,No one will ever tear us apart, I won't let any suffering happen, I love you,” he murmured to them before the couple embraced into an intimate kiss. It would be a journey into a new world with a better future, just the two of them together forever.

Stares off into the distance:

So.

Apparently my brain is just going to run along with various crossovers. Today, I bring you the thought of a John Wick fusion au (actually five differnet ones) with Batman/DC. (Again: a reminder that all my DC/Batman knowledge is fandom based)

@north-peach hellllppppp

Couple of thoughts for this.

The First: Janet Drake is one of the underworld's best. She's fantastic at manipulation and killing. She could walk herself out of a situation covered in blood, and convince people who saw it all happen that she never touched the body.

Tim grows up at her knee. He learns for the very best. And Janet teaches him everything she can- because despite the job and the crazy hours, and the travel, she loves her son. She wants to give him every opportunity to make it out alive from anything. Unharmed and not in trouble if possible, but alive most of all.

John Wick is a ghost story to the underworld. Tim has always been curious about people who could cause such a stir as his mother or John Wick might. When he meets him, he decides that man is Friend Shaped despite every sign saying Do Not. Despite every horror story saying it's a bad plan. (Much as he will later look at a story in a city of a cryptid said to be a manifestation of a city, a demon, a physical representation of all those who have died unavenged and decide the same)

More than that- John has ZERO idea how to handle Tim. He's a k i d. John's not gonna kill him for just...showing up all the time. It's not like he interferes or causes problems. In fact, he helps sometimes. Provides info, or a direction, a place to crash-

Tim confuses John.

Tim is also the very first to congratulate him, when he manages to get out of the underworld for Helen and mean it. To not even question the 'impossibility' of the Baba Yaga deciding he was done. John didn't bother to ask how Tim knew he'd left and why before the news actually broke out.

Tim watching John get out, go for it and SUCCEED is what gives him the courage to confess to his mother that he wanted to spend some time outside of the underworld, watching the curious case of Batman and Gotham. And Janet loves her son. So she arranges for it to be so.

They both know who Bruce Wayne is. Janet had figured it out before even Tim. She makes him promise that, if he needs her, he will call her, and lets him hunker in Gotham while he does what he wishes. She makes some trips back to Gotham, of course, but not so many that enemies can figure out there's someone important to her there. Janet is THE Femme Fatale. She has plenty of people who would go after her boy. And she's not having that.

Tim doesn't actually PLAN to get involved in vigilante life. At all. He's underworld born and bred. He's a survivor, manipulative, and can be a level of cunning and cold and ambitious that always makes his mother so so proud. He's not a do-right kind of person. He's not someone who does things for people outside of "me and mine" without a reason. Or if it goes against his moral code.

Except Jason Todd becomes one of "Me and Mine". He's a friend. A nosy vigilante who sees that his friend is alone and sets off his instincts as dangerous yes, but also as 'not a civilian' in a conventional sense. He's not a street rat, but he's not...normal either. And Tim? Tim, once he decides this Robin is his Robin, well he can't very well leave him undefended doing this ALONE can he? Though he understands by working with Robin, he cant use the tried and true methods of murder, as it could get pinned to Robin or Batman and he can't have that. If he wants to fly with Jason, he needs to fly by his rules. So a new vigilante is born that runs the streets with Robin. A little more vicious but in a cold and precise manner. Exacting. He doesn't let Jason go after his mother without doing the information gathering, and stops his death by Joker.

For a time, Tim finds himself pulled into the Wayne family, and he...thrives with them. He's happy. He learns under them. Expands his skillset, and still sent out to learn from people around the world. He is NOT fool enough to turn that away- his mother would somehow KNOW wherever she was if he turned down that kind of opportunity and he did not want to imagine the disappointment and response. NO THANK YOU.

When the underworld is kicked like a hornets' nest by John Wick coming back into the fold, Tim is...curious. He's kept an eye on John and Helen, if not stayed in direct and constant contact with them. He hadn't expected John to step foot back into the underworld.

And then his mother sends word to him, calls him back to the Continental, warns that the underworld is getting REALLY kicked up as a result. Tim...needs to go. He cannot imagine NOT answering his mother.

He arranges things on the Gotham end. Says temporary goodbyes and gets to the NY branch asap. Beats his mother there.

Makes it just in time to see John Wick pull a gun on Continental Grounds and shoot a newly crowned seat at the Table and is caught up in the chaos.

His family are going to end UP in the chaos themselves, because they will not cannot leave Tim in it alone. The connections Tim has are MUCH a surprise, he's done very well in hiding exactly what he used to do, and WHY he has a contact and hand in everything, and can ALWAYS get his family what they need. The Second: Tim Drake still grows up at Janet's knee. He learns it all. Thrives in it all. He ends up NOT going down the road of hitman or assassin or any number of things he could have done. Instead Tim Drake chooses to be a Information Broker that claims Gotham eventually, and by means of getting taken in by Bruce, the Wayne Manor and grounds around it become neutral grounds much like the Continental, if you want Tim's services to remain open to you. If you pull the underworld onto the ground...well. Just because Tim goes by Bruce's rules, and just because he PREFERS the route of nonviolence does not in any way mean he would not kill to protect it. To prove a point. To make a statement. To allow one to get away with it is to allow danger to his family and he WILL NOT, no matter that they all are perfectly capable of defending themselves. The Underworld is entirely different than their villains. To not kill the offender is to open themselves to weakness and targets. So Tim WILL.

Gotham is not Wayne Manor. The City is fair game to the underworld. Wayne Manor is NOT.

The Third:

Janet raises her boy at her knee still. Tim chooses the route of Doctor instead. He sets up in Gotham, and decides he likes the foolish vigilantes enough to step in when it's needed and save their lives. He becomes known to the Batfam as a Doc that will not ask questions, but is absolutely one of the most capable people they've seen. If Leslie isn't available, or not close enough, they go to Tim, if Tim doesn't find them, because he certainly seems to know when they need it.

The Batfam does sometimes find him having dealt with Some Things underworld involved so they are WORRIED about their idiot, despite the fact that Tim can and will Wreck everyone that causes problems in his area. He has also shown up stripping off blood covered scrub tops or whatever cause hes coming in hot from another healing thing, and they all wonder and worry and just- it's fine. Everything is fine.

They worry anyway.

Despite the fact that Tim has friends seemingly everywhere, from all walks of life, favors all over, and connections to seemingly everything as a result of his work. (He has absolutely been offered favors as payment, hits, assassinations and all sorts of things. He never turns them away. Janet taught him better. Instead he has markers and logs, books and written promises all stacked away. He remembers them all of course, but better to have written proof somewhere, something official. The Continental holds it for him.

The Fourth:

Gotham HAS a Continental Hotel due to all of its.....everything. Janet Drake runs it. Tim knows EVERYONE and everything, and has absolutely run the counter often. Bruce doesn't know what it is. Ra's absolutely does. Tim is the next to take over the branch and EVERYONE knows it.

He ends up occasionally, when people step on his morals, providing information to the Bat.

Jason managed to find his way inside by accident, and may or may not get himself heavily involved in the underworld even BEFORE the Red Hood thing.

The Fifth:

Same concept as 4 except BRUCE WAYNE runs the Continental and the ripples of everything therein.

[anactualdump]

Peeks in do you have anything on my favorite guy Benoît? Art, info, ANYTHING even little trivia, life outside of work, life in work I BEG ANYTHING 🛐

yap below!

he's exactly this guy from zombie land saga what else can i say BHAHA

fr i only watch this anime for this guy i swear to go 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Benoît Sauveterre

in canon, i pretty much already explained most his story. he met ui by begging for work, and ui obliges

at ep 1, ben was in his early 20s. at that time, ui was much more cold and unforgiving to his own citizens, and so was harsh to ben (akin to auditor treating his employees except he just barks at them instead of hurting xD)

ben is less willing to show himself unless ui asked (never) due to fear. so he stays at the bunker (not the spoiler, smaller one where his office is similar to madcom version), and is more cautious how he presents himself

his task was to keep watch the security cameras, and spot the thumpers for anomalies. ui pays by small generator parts, which are pretty good for trading, and food + water. ben can kinda ask for anything else for trade and ui can morph it with his ability, such as guns.

ben has habits of not doing his job, and thumpers usually have an underheated core problem. it must be maintained so there'll be a lower chance of it activating. thumpers in contidel are technically already given the order to activate, but was countered by keeping them overheated, making it think it's still in porlivium

ben is tasked to send warning alarms to what's responsible for maintaining the thumper- a giant building which is a similar robot to the guardian, built next to the thumpers. it's right next to it here (these are super old phone drawings xd)

these support bots detect the heat automatically, but prone to needing repairs (a lot like ui's revival tube for shi). so ben is to watch the overall conditions

unbeknownst to ben, ui is doing his own job for him behind his back lol. normally underheated thumpers very rarely activated nowadays, from millions of years inactive so the order for activation is a bit lost. but it's still possible to reactivate, ui isn't taking much chances with it but is willing to be less strict from how rarely it occurs

later on, when ui starts to turn more empathetic and talks to him casually. ben quickly warms up to him and shows his more goofy and formal ("""formal""") side. a job is a job, gotta be classy while hustling

ui allows ben to do anything as long as he does his job. outside, he always makes sure to keep his little brothers fed and tries his best to teach them how to survive like him.

not the best advices ngl but he's trying, thankfully his family is already quite capable in taking care of themselves, as contids do, though they may not look contid. he's quite content with what he has, his brothers once grown up travel quite a lot, but ben always stays at ui's. mostly too lazy to get out

for madcom it's a little different

ben started out as a normal nowhere resident before improbability made him lost in the void sauce which also made him a vegetable

and when a new place other than nevada is created, he's reanimated, and meets this certain employer named conductor (polaroid). at the time no local knew what happened or who he is

he doesnt interact much but he soon employs them to construct new buildings and begin transport of nevadean materials they never seen before, with a strange way to pass from the nowhere to nevada. this made living in nowhere a clusterfuck as improbability disasters disapprove of this new country's creation

ben, whom forgotten who he was before the improbability, then begged for work as well. due to the improbability drive, everyone is just discovering the different effects of the nowhere's version of it compared to nevada's and trying to get by. conductor by then already had aahw bases set up, and promises him an important job

he ends up making ben one of the first original clone manufactures, with an experiment to connect all of the ben clones into one mind. this was to remove the difficulty of hiring and making grunts skip the process of agent to atp, as the agent roles will all be fulfilled by ben. they will all go straight to atp training

so at this point, it's become fact that every agent in the nowhere is ben XD

ben himself felt a little betrayed at first but soon took a liking to his new hivemind likeness. though dealing with conductor was like grazing a fork on an empty plate from all the "brainstorming" conductor discusses with him to annoy his colleagues

ben assumes all employers are like this and starts procrastinating doing his job properly, to spite conductor

but before he'll realise ben's slower workforce, conductor suddenly disappeared for a long time and never heard from him since. everyone was at a standstill, doing their job as usual but not progressing anything. which, in the meantime, he passes the time by befriending everyone as much as he can

then one day another new employer was sent in one of the aahw bases, but only meant to be staying there as a guest, who then kinda disobeyed that and started training the soldats in that specific building

he starts to be a bit disgruntled to employers in general. ben hears another employer checks the other up once in awhile but never stays long so he doesnt see who that is. then both disappeared as well for awhile. and then ANOTHER employer arrives with a tiny grunt who apparently can't go back to nevada anymore, decides to commit genocide and then take over the whole place

this employer then allows you to be his employee and then makes the country work a little better than what it was before, then giant building things appear out of nowhere destroyed like half the city. this employer then, afterwards, became humbled apparently and starts to be a nicer overall person. what a time to live in ben's perspective 🤣🤣🤣

rainworld au is the least developed but more open to future stories and ideas, so I'd rather keep it unspoken for now x3

[marvelouslizzie]

sooo, i read your fic "like someone i know" and it was absolutely hot AND amazing. i am obsessed with miscommunication of how they thought they hated/were against each other but not. 😭

if you do take requests, could you write a drabble or something of them finally dating and bucky still teasing the reader but obviously in love now? JBJDJSHS maybe make the entire class confused bc they're aware of their rivalry. i just LOVEEE the fluff after enemies/rivals to lovers plots. 🥹

if you don't take requests, it's okay!!! your fic was amazing and now i shall read more of your work to my heart's content!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️

Oh, I absolutely love this! I tried to write a cute drabble and I hope this works for you.

summary: Set after Like Someone I Know. You and your former academic rival, Bucky, begin a secret romantic relationship. What happens when you two have another exam?

pairing: College!Bucky Barnes x Female Reader

warnings: None actually. Pure bickering and a bit of fluff + no mention of y/n.

word count: 842

All work is mine, please do not repost or translate without my permission.

Another day, another test. You feel stressed by the number of lessons you had to study for this one. There were so many things, even though you went through all of them, you feel like you remember nothing. Nothing at all.

You open your bag and reach for your notes while your back rests against the cold wall. Maybe you will feel confident enough if you go through them one more time. Refreshing your memory does not hurt, right?

You start to read and repeat the most important info in your mind, trying to remember where and how you wrote them so you can use them during the exam, but it’s hard to concentrate. Especially, when Bucky’s voice is booming through the hallway. His laugh is so loud, and it annoys you because he isn’t laughing like that because of you. He’s just messing around with Steve, Sam, and Natasha, as usual. You are pretty sure Natasha is the one that made him laugh this loudly, and jealousy takes over you. 

“For the love of god, just stop talking for a sec! Some of us are trying to study here.” 

No one bats an eye. They are so used to you two bickering before and after exams, but Bucky immediately turns to you. You see the mischievous spark in his eyes. He’s so amused by the comment.

“Do you mean yourself, princess? Because I don’t see anyone else besides you studying right now.”

You make a sour face when you hear him calling you princess. That’s new. He usually calls you doll.

“Does it matter?”

“Matters to me.”

“Fine. I’m trying to study. Shut your mouth, kay? Bye.”

You try to turn back to your notes, but no, Bucky is not done bickering with you. Of course, he isn’t.

“Don’t worry, you will get a good grade. You always do.” It could’ve been such a sweet encouragement if his tone had been different. It just feels like he’s patronizing you.

“So what? I should stop studying?” 

“Yeah. Give yourself a break, doll.” He stops for a second, then dramatically adds. “Live a little.”

“Studying first, living later.” That kinda sounds like a promise, but no one but Bucky gets that.

You think you can finally read again, but Sam doesn’t let go of the conversation for some reason. He always likes to interject.

“Are you worried Bucky will get the best grade?” 

“Oh, come on, Sam!” Steve sounds tired already.

“I would like to see him try.” After years of being rivals, your answer comes automatically. You forget there’s no need for this anymore.

“I got the best score last time, remember?” Luckily he doesn’t sound offended. Maybe he just missed your usual bickering.

“And I will make sure that doesn’t happen again.” You give him a fake smile. You really want to get the best score, even if that means beating your boyfriend.

“You always say that, but…” Suddenly he stops talking, and you wanna know how that sentence ends.

“But what?” 

“Doesn’t matter.”

“Come on!” You challenge him. He shouldn’t stop himself from voicing his thoughts just because you started to date a while ago. Your rivalry is still there. He should be free to say whatever he wants. “Say it.”

“Maybe later.” He resists.

"Come on, Barnes! Since when are you afraid to speak your mind?" Your taunting works like a charm.

“You always say that, but I never saw you upset because I beat you.”

You can’t help but smile. If someone is gonna get the better grade, it has to be Bucky. Any other option is simply not acceptable.

You feel the stares of Steve, Sam, and Natasha on you. They didn’t expect this turn of events. They have been holding their breaths to see your reaction. Are you gonna get mad? Snap back at him? Shove his flirtatious comment up his ass?

“If it's not me, then it has to be you, right?” You watch Bucky’s smile grow while others mumble with confusion.

“If not my girl, then who else?”

Oh, he really went there. He didn’t miss the opportunity to claim you, and even though you wanted to do that very differently, you can’t help but feel giddy about it.

You don’t say anything at first, slowly walking towards him. You stop right in front of him, staring into his pretty blue eyes. He doesn’t know what to expect, so you can see how puzzled he is. You stand on your tiptoes and gently place a kiss on his cheek. 

“Good luck, baby,” you whisper into his ear, then you just turn on your heels, like nothing happened. “See you after the exam.” You don’t look back, but you hear others talk.

“What the fuck just happened?” 

“Did she just-” 

“I told you they would eventually fuck, Rogers! Pay up!” 

“Language, Sam! We don’t even know…”

“Oh, they definitely did.” Natasha sounds rather amused.

“Fine!”

“Oh, come on! You betted on us?” Bucky’s charming voice is the last thing you hear before entering the classroom.

Rook Info Compilation part 14: Rook and Vil (pt3)

In a Chat Rook says that he doesn’t wish to disappoint Vil and Vil responds, “which means you should be working that much harder as vice housewarden."

(There was a small error on EN where this line was attributed to Rook despite the original line (and the word bubble) being Vil’s.)

When Rook goes to the Island of Woe to rescue Vil, Vil takes their first free moment to reprimand him for abandoning his position as vice housewarden, saying “I’m ashamed of my poor judgement in nominating a vice housewarden so irresponsible he’d abandon his dorm at the drop of a hat.”

Epel tries to go to Rook’s defense but Rook says he was prepared to be dismissed as vicehousewarden the moment that he left the school.

Speaking as himself rather than as the housewarden of Pomefiore, Vil says that he was beside himself with joy when he learned that Rook and the others had come to rescue him, promising to return them all safely to NRC.

Rook says that Pomefiore’s rules are strict, but he will certainly comply, as they are important to Vil. In another voice line he says he would never do anything that reflected poorly on Vil, as he takes pride in his position as second-in-command.

Rook has multiple lines about his respect for Vil, selecting a tuxedo during Phantom Bride based on Pomefiore colors, commenting on how they should be dressed appropriate to visit their “queen Vil” in Book 6, though in Book 5 Ace comments that he sounds like a yes-man.

During Spectral Soiree Rook says that the strangest part of the kidnapping of the students was how he and Jamil did not notice anything strange, despite how they consider themselves more sensitive than others, with their housewardens being the focus of their vigilance.

Part of the simulation that Vil undergoes (designed to upset him) involves a simulated Rook challenging him for the position of housewarden, as, “I appreciate beautiful things. Hence…I can hardly allow someone who’s acted as ugly as you to occupy the Fairest Queen’s throne!”

In his labwear vignette Rook says that Vil sounds jealous of Rook’s obsession with Leona.

Vil tells Rook that he might as well join the Spelldrive club if he desires to compete with Leona so badly but Rook explains that it is out of the question: The reason he enrolled in the Science Club was to “support something beautiful with (his) love” by creating smoke and dyes for Vil to use in the Film Club, which he wouldn’t be able to do if he changed to the Spelldrive Club in pursuit of Leona.

Vil often enlists help from Rook and Epel with the Film Club, as the club is perpetually shorthanded of everything but actors.

Vil says that he occasionally helps Rook with the Science Club in exchange.

(Rook and Vil did not speak for the first time until a few months into their first year at NRC. If Rook truly did only enroll in the Science Club in order to support Vil it is possible that he was in a different club earlier on that he later switched out of. He says that he and Trey have been together in the Science Club since enrolling, however, so a counterargument might be that he anticipated being able to help Vil via the Science Club eventually and enrolled before they met in preparation.)

Baldr - info, opinions and worship (long post)

I am making this post as a devotion to Baldr<3

Family Parents: Odin and Frigg Wife: Nanna Kid: Forseti Baldr has numerous half siblings, but full brother to Hodr, the blind god He is one of the Aesir

Names and epithets Ways to spell his name: Baldr, Balder, Baldur Epithets: The white, the good, the bright, father of justice

Treasures Home: Breidablik Ship: Hringhorni Horse: Gulltopp (translates to Goldtop)

Baldr is the god of beauty, light, innocence and forgiveness. He is also seen as a god of purity, joy and peace. Some also call him a god of naivity because he always see the good in everyone, even people no one else is able to see good things.

We have little knowledge about Baldr in general. The most known story about him is his death. Some who is devoted to, worship or work with Baldr might not want to work with Loki at all due to this story. Baldr had dreams about his death which gave him long awake nights. His mother, Frigg, tried to help him by making everyone and everything promise not to hurt Baldr, all materials, weapons, sickness etc. All except for the misteltoe, which she thought was too small, young and harmless to make a promise. Now that Baldr seemed absolutely immortal the other gods tried their weapons on him, as nothing would hurt him. His blind brother Hodr wanted to join in, but couldn't because he did not want to hurt anyone. Loki had found a way to know the misteltoe didn't promise to not hurt him, and made an arrow from it which he guided Hodr to shoot at his brother. Baldr died from the arrow and Loki ran away. Later in the story we get to know Baldr would be allowed to leave Helheim and go back to Asgard if the whole world would show their grief after his death, and everyone did except an old lady. It is believed this old lady is Loki to make sure Baldr couldn't return to his family.

Controversy There is controversy whether or not you can work with Baldr due to him being in Helheim. Their argument is true, those who goes to Helheim can't leave it before all gates open and chains break under Ragnarok. But again, Loki is chained and can't leave his place before Ragnarok when all chains breaks and gates open under Ragnarok. If working with Loki is valid, then working with Baldr is as well! And please do not fear having your own beliefs on this. You are free to reach out to him whatever your reason would be.

Lessons What I have gotten from working with Baldr is to forgive. Forgive but not forget, and forgiving doesn't mean to let others walk all over you, and it's also important that you learn to forgive yourself. You also learn to appreciate and find joy in the smallest things, which I personally think has bettered my life quality so much. He wants you to know your worth but still show kindness to the world, and to help others who need.

Offerings and acts of devotion Meditation around a source of light (in the sunlight, by a candle, LED candles, fireplace etc) Help others who need (he used to guide and help his blind brother) Heal and care for your inner child Create something for him Pray to him Appreciate others Enjoy calm music Enjoy your fav herbal tea, raise a glass to him Keep candles that reminds you of him (I personally love the scented ones) Practice forgiveness and compassion, especially towards yourself Devote a plushie that reminds u of him or summer Symbols of light, sunrise, summer, and things you find beautiful, keep around, decorate or keep on jewelry Decorate with fairy lights and lanterns Take notice in your progress and look at how far you got Sketch, draw, write and other creative expressions Sunbathe (Remember sunscreen) Express or decompress Take a walk on a sunny day Practice regulating emotions, and feel your emotions Find healthy emotional outlets Spend time with the ones you love Do something that makes you happy Play with your pets Donate to organizations that helps homeless, sick, disabled etc Take care of yourself Make a comfortable and safe space for yourself Celebrate achievements, even small ones Clean trash around your neighborhood or in nature (also great offering to Jord, Gaia, or other personification of Earth) Practice open-mindedness, agree to disagree Honor your ancestors, learn about your family history (family were huge in the norse society, and Balder loves his family) Flowers, especially those strongly connected to the sun(Mayweed and Sea Mayweed is both known under the name Balder's brow in Sweden and Norway, they would make a great offering as well) He is associated to the colors gold, white, yellow and sky-blue carnelian, red jasper, citrine, goldstone, sunstone -Some say misteltoe would be a nice offering, but some believes you shouldn't, would recommend asking him before you offer it

Signs -I haven't found much of set signs that Baldr is reaching out to you, which might be because of the lack of information. However I have seen these; You randomly think about him over an extented period of time The rune Dagaz/Dagr Dreams become very symbolic Dreaming about him You can always reach out to him if that feels right for you! I personally see him in the sun and 7 of swords. He could also be big in meditation and dream interpretations because of his dremas before the story of his death.

AITA for breaking my promise to my boyfriend?

My (M31) boyfriend (M32) and I haven’t been together long. 3 weeks and then some amount of time roughly feeling like a couple months? All of this time was spent either hiding from the police or people who wanted to kill us, and then trekking through basically a post-apocalyptic wasteland of my own creation where I had significantly more power than anyone there, including my boyfriend.

My boyfriend gets worried about me, I understand the feeling, I’m worried about him a lot. He has it in his head that I’m suicidal or self-sacrificial, or have some sort of martyr complex. I admit that I’ve put myself into situations where I would likely — or probably — die before, and yes, a few of those situations could’ve been easily avoided, but this situation, the one where I lied to my boyfriend isn’t like that.

So, remember the post-apocalyptic wasteland I mentioned? We got the chance to end it, to save our world, but to do that we had to pass on the things that caused the apocalypse to other universes (not me, I was sort of the unwilling pawn? it’s a whole thing).

I didn’t want to do it, I couldn’t handle the thought of spreading our apocalypse to other universes. I proposed to kill the whole word (including myself and them), burn out these entities, stop them from spreading. The others (my boyfriend, my ex-girlfriend/friend (F30s) my ex-girlfriend’s girlfriend (F30s, my sort-of-friend’s (F40s) (dead) friend (F30s)) disagreed.

Later, my boyfriend came to talk to me, and I told him that I’d follow his and the others’ plan. He reminded me of the promise we’d made a little while before, that I wouldn’t die if there was another way to save the world, and he wouldn’t stop me if I had to die to save it. I think, even now, that a lot of his reasoning for having me not save countless more people, more worlds, is because he’s always just wanted me to be fine after this. I just never saw an after.

I went through with my plan, but before I could actually get started on killing, my boyfriend found out, he tried to stop me, and revealed that my ex-girlfriend managed to begin doing the other phase of the plan, even though I thought I had the important object. Eventually, I decided that I couldn’t save the other worlds, but I could save this one, and I couldn’t watch my boyfriend die. I told him to kill me, and I hoped we’d end up somewhere else.

It’s good here. Peaceful. I haven’t known that in a while. There’s still that worry that the world’s going to end again, there’s still that guilt over ending it, I don’t think it’s ever going to go away, but it’s good. Things with my boyfriend are more fraught. We love each other, we do, but he’s angry for breaking my promise, for making him kill him. I know that it hurt him, but I know that if I had been able to go through with my plan, if my boyfriend and the others had let me then this world would be safe, this world would be allowed to be good. There are kids here, they go to the park with their parents every evening on Wednesdays. If anything happens to them it’ll be my fault for letting those things spread.

So, AITA for breaking my promise to my boyfriend, even though it was to save countless lives?

There’s Three of You?! Pt. 3

Lilly and Jay get some disturbing news.

Warnings: foul language, might be some medical inconsistencies.

CHAPTER 3

Next day, I texted Jay, I had to share this important piece of information with him.

To: Jaybird 💙

Hey big bro. Guess who got fired on the spot yesterday afternoon.

From: Jaybird 💙

Your attending?

To: Jaybird 💙

Ding, ding, ding! Correct! It was glorious.

Couldn’t even get a word in to save his ass.

From: Jaybird 💙

I can tell by your tone, nailed him good?

To: Jaybird 💙

His wife had stopped by. As soon as I entered he tried to corner me, I yelled “Don’t touch me” at the top of my lungs… it all went down from there.

The soon to be ex-wife slapped him so hard… he fell to the ground.

From: Jaybird 💙

Glad he won’t be bothering you anymore Lilypad.

Good job.

I’m proud of you.

That was the text that kept a smile on my face for the entire day. I met my new attending, Dr. Salazar, an amazing Emergency Medicine doctor. I did my rounds, consults, freaking pop quizzes as if we were back in med school and our “what did you learn today” surveys.

By mid-shift, almost every female intern had approached me and thanked me for having the balls to confront Dr. Hobber and managing to get him fired. I just shrugged and said the truth, it wasn’t a big deal and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The day went by pretty much normally, a lot of people coming in, but when an OD patient came in, my hackles raised at the memory of the last one under Dr. Hobber’s “guiedance”.

“Haltead with me.” said Dr. Salazar.

“Yes Dr.” I said, following him, immediately I expect him to step back and scream at me to handle it myself, but he was already receiving the patient’s vitals from the EMT’s.

“Ok, Halstead, check his lungs. Make sure he has a clear airway.” the doctor instructed, I nodded, doing as I was told. “What do you hear?” he asked after a minute.

“Lungs are clear.” I stated, Dr. Salazar nodded, then gave off instructions to the nurses to administer Narcan, monitor the patient, and continue with the standard OD protocol: benzos and fluids.

We both got out of the treatment room and Dr. Salazar motioned for me to follow him into an empty waiting room, I follow him and he lets me in first.

“You ok Halstead? I noticed you were tense for a minute out there when the patient arrived.” he said, I let out a sigh.

“It’s not on you Dr.Salazar-” he cuts me off, not unkindly, like Dr. Hobber would.

“Please, call me David.” I smile and nod at that.

“David. It’s not anything you did… it's because of how Dr. Hobber used to treat all of us. He would make us treat the patient, and if we made a mistake, he would yell at us, humiliate us in front of everyone. Many of my colleagues dropped out of med school, or the internship because of him.” I pause.

“I’m sorry to hear that… but that’s not all now, is it?” he asked, I nodded my head no. “What else?”

“He once made me run an OD protocol alone. I did what I knew, and what I had been tought, to do: check ABC’s, administer Narcan, then follow up with benzos and fluids. The thing is, the guy had been brought in too late, he passed later that night… Dr. Hobber blamed me and suspended me for two days because of it. When debated and explained that I was just following Dr. Hobber’s instructions, he denied it and said I never listened and took charge of the situation.” I said, the rage I’d felt that day returning.

A hand fell on my shoulder, I turn and Dr. Salazar is looking at me with sympathy, not pitty, and it felt like a balm on a wound.

“I’m sorry you went through that, and that the administration took his side. I’m also sorry that he made you girls have a horrible experience here. I promise it won’t be like that with me.” he said, and I nodded with a smile.

JAY’S P.O.V

We had the info we needed thanks to the guy Burgess, and her new parter Roman, had caught, and we were moving to do the raid. From what Al had told us, this guys we were going for were dangerous… some mobsters that had to be put away, Oskar and Jacob Bembenek.

The team was also a bit tense after learning that Voight had made a deal with I.A., Erin was specially pissed, and a bit more tense than usual, but I sure hope that she can talk it out with the man.

We went to the warehouse were the exchange was gonna take place and took our positions. Erin and I were in our car waiting for the signal.

“Move in! Move in!” we heard Antonio from our radios, show time.

The idiots tried to escape, but we had one car behind them, and Erin and I blocked them from the front, we had them.

We both got out of the car and immediately started barking orders at this two.

“Let me see your hands!” I exclaim.

“Put 'em up!” Erin exclaimed this time.

The younger brother, Jacob, had gotten out of the car and started walking our way.

“Stay in the car!” I ordered, he kept walking.

“It's all good! It's all…” the guy fired a shot at us, I shot him back twice in the chest, that’s when Oskar got out of the car. I walked towards the guy I shot, gun still drawn.

“No! No! No! Jacob!” he yelled, seeing his brother going down.

“Up where I can see 'em! Put your hands up where I can see 'em, now!” Erin ordered from next to me.

“No! Jacob!” kept yelling Oskar, Al got to him from behind, getting him on his knees and cuffing him.

“Don't move!” Erin ordered again.

“Jacob!” Oskar said one more time as Antonio turned the guy, pushed the gun away and cuffed him.

As I’m lowering my gun, Oskar speaks again, this time directed at me.

“You shot my brother.” he said, I just looked at him with a serious expression on my face. Erin walked up to me and put her hand on my shoulder while she requests an ambo for Jacob.

“Lincoln 5021 emergency. We have shots fired by the police. Roll an ambo to 35th and Hamilton.”

And just like that… another day in the office.

LILLY’S P.O.V

The day went by normally after my talk with Dr. Salazar, I finished my rounds, clocked out, and texted my brother on the way to my car.

To: Jaybird 💙

Hey! I’m done with my shift for the day, wanna meet up at Molly’s?

From: Jaybird 💙

Sure, I’ll meet you there at 8.

To: Jaybird 💙

Ok. ❤️

From: Jaybird 💙

❤️

I went back home and took a shower, I had felt a slight chill during the day, enough to need a jacket but not enough that I would need to many layers, so I decided to wear something according to the weather: a black strapless dress, some black tights, black high heeled boots and a black leather jacket, since I was wearing all black, my makeup was purple -I went with light makeup, didn’t want it to look like I got a shinner-, all finished with my heart necklace and earrings.

I made my way to Molly’s and, once inside, found my brother and his friends pretty easily. I went to the bar, got a beer from Hermann and then went over to their table, they were talking about work.

“Hey, get this. Voight beat the suspension.” Ruzek said, placing his phone on the table.

“Thought he was facing termination.” said Atwater, I turn to look at Jay, he signs that he’ll tell me later.

“Call it macaroni, dude. I don't know. He's gonna be back in the office tomorrow. He beat it.” said Ruzek, I just took a sip from my beer.

“Jay.” said a familiar voice.

“Whoa.” since I was next to him, Jay bumped into me because of the sudden scare.

“Al.” said Ruzek, I nodded at the older detective.

“ What's up, man?” asked my brother, then he turned to look at the blond girl in front of him. I think I’ve seen her at Lakeshore… if memory serves me well, she’s Dawson’s -Gabby’s- partner.

If I could only remember your name hun.

“Sylvie Brett. Alvin Olinsky. Lilly Halstead.” said Jay, introducing Al to Silvie, and her and me to each other.

“Hey.” she said, I nodded in greeting.

“Hey.” said the older cop. He then seemed a bit nervous. “Um… Let me have a quick word with you. Come here.” he then turned to look at me. “Lilly, I think you should hear this too.” Jay and I looked at each other and we left the table to follow the man.

“What the hell's going on, man?” asked my brother.

Alvin’s serious expression was not giving me a good feeling of the kind of news he was gonna deliver.

“Oskar Bembenek just put a $100,000 dollar bounty on your head for killing his brother Jacob.” he said, looking Jay dead in the eye.

I couldn’t breathe for a second.

100,000 what?

Jay looked confused.

We made eye contact, he just grabbed my hand, walked me back to the table, left a couple dollars to cover for our drinks and order me to drive to my apartment, grab my stuff for the next day and follow him back to his apartment.

The real drama starts now. Thanks again for giving this story a go. I’m finishing the next chapter, so please have patience with me. Love you all, see ya!

Waiting for You: Chapter 3- It's okay... I'm okay

Genre: more angst (i apologize in advance)

CW: use of they/them pronouns for Y/n cause I got confused but yall can replace those if necessary, Y/n's slow asf at one point and having a lot of self-blaming thoughts at another, crying(a little), arguing(a little), Swearing? mentions of death(no one dies), Manager Park is dramatic as hell, so is the CEO, allergic reaction, Seeun's still a jerk (I'm sorry), Minjae's a saint. Idk how to write statements/announcements

A/n: This probably would've been up last week already if not for that bitch procastination.

JUST TO BE CLEAR: I do not know the severity of the mentioned human's allergies, so the reaction might be slightly exaggerated, its all fictional at the end of the day.

As always, likes, reblogs and comments are very much appreciated. Hope ya'll enjoy.

You get to the practice room where Manager Park and the rest of the Xikers members were waiting for you, looking quite unhappy. Did something happen?

"You wanted to see me sir?" you asked trying to ignore the uncomfortable stares you were receiving from the eight boys.

...Eight? Why are they eight? One is obviously still on hiatus, so who is missing?

Your thoughts are interrupted by Manager Park shoving a paper into your hand. The list for the boys' food. Did they need you to get more?

"You're the one who was responsible for fetching their meals, correct?"

"Yes sir."

"And you ordered everything on this list correctly, right?"

You read through the list once more. Everything's there, you even wrote down the brownies you had promised them as a bonus treat. Yeah you didn't make them yourself like you promised you would but it's the thought that counts right? You can always make them next time, today just happened to be a bad morning.

"Yes sir, I checked the all take-out bags three times before leaving-"

"-the sandwiches aren't the problem, Y/n" Minjae speaks up next to you holding the box of brownies.

"You said you'd make these yourself and you bought them."

"I know, I am really sorry. I..." you sighed trying to figure out how you'd explain yourself without giving out too much info.

"I had a terrible night yesterday and I missed my alarm this morning, I just didn't have the time, but still I didn't wanna disappoint you guys. So I figured I'd buy them this time, then make them myself on a different day."

Minjae nodded at your words and looked to Manager Park, who was staring at you with a bored expression.

"Lovely excuse. Tell me Y/n, what's one of the main ingredients in a brownie?" he asked, you stared at him in confusion. Why is this important?

He sighed shaking his head.

"Flour, Y/n. Brownies have flour in them."

You nodded slowly, still confused, Minjae huffed in irritation.

"Did you forget? That you promised Hunter flourless brownies?"

Your eyes widen as realization sets in. Hunter has a flour allergy.

"Oh my god... Oh my god- Is he okay?"

"Look at you acting like you care." Seeun muttered, rolling his eyes.

You glanced at him and turned your attention back to Minjae and Manager Park. You had no idea what his issue is, but you tried not to give him a reaction. You had more important things to worry about right now.

"He had already eaten about three or four of them. A few minutes later he started coughing, and complaining about how he can't breathe." Yujun explained.

"He's on his way to the hospital as we speak."

You rubbed your temples in frustration. How could you forget?

"Oh my god, I am so sorry! It slipped my mind completely-"

"-Slipped your mind? Are you crazy?" Manager Park cut you off, glaring at you.

"Do you have any idea what could've happened if Yujun didn't warn everyone in time?! If the ambulance didn't arrive as soon as it did?! And all you can say is it slipped your mind?!"

You lowered your head in shame.

"I really am sorry." you uttered. Manager Park scoffed in disbelief.

"He could have died. And all you can say is you're sorry?"

Hana came and stood next to you, rubbing your back in an attempt to comfort you.

"Mr Park, I think that's enough now-"

"-You understand we can fire you for this right?"

You froze up at those words.

"You do understand that we can ensure no company in this country ever picks up your resume?"

Your lashings from Manager Park are interrupted by a loud ring in the practice room. His phone.

"You'd better pray that's the hospital staff giving us good news." He says, leaving to go answer the call. Once the door slams close you let out a shaky exhale. Hana pulls you in for a hug but you gently push her away.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay."

"No it's not Hana, we both know it's not."

This could cost you your job, and all future jobs you might want. How could you mess up this badly?

Losing Seeun was pain that you'd never imagined you'd experience, especially since he not only refusing to explain why, but is also acting like a dick for no reason. But to lose your internship? After being rejected by several other companies? After waiting for so long to receive a call-back? After nearly giving up and just going back to your home country? You couldn't afford to lose this job, but what could you even say?

You could've simply told the boys they'd have to wait a bit longer for the brownies, or you could've toughened up, wiped your tears and just made them last night as promised, you could've told Seeun it'd have to wait when he told you 'We need to talk'. You could've just not offered them anything to begin with!

This was all your fault.

You drew in a steadying breath to try and calm yourself down. Hana approached you again to hold your hand.

", it's gonna be fine-"

"There you go again with the theatrics." Seeun scoffed. You had forgotten the rest of the boys were still in the room with you. Hana narrowed her eyes at him.

"Can you stop now? Seriously, you've been on their ass since this morning and they weren't even here."

You didn't hear that part from Jiwoo. She just said he was mad, but didn't say it was because of you.

Minjae comes up to you and pats your shoulder in comfort.

"It was a simple mistake Y/n, if it makes you feel better we forget he has allergies too sometimes."

"It doesn't change the fact that I screwed up."

"Yeah, you really did."

"Seeun, stop it. Also to be fair, we all saw that these were store-bought brownies-"

"-You cannot be serious!" Seeun cuts him off. "Are you trying to say this is all Hunter's fault?"

"Of course not! But I'm just saying he could've used a little of his common sense. All brownies have flour in them, Y/n just happens to know a recipe that doesn't need flour, and said they'd make them, but they couldn't because..." he stops himself, and glances between you and Seeun.

'Does he know?''

"Because of... personal reasons. She could've told you guys there are no brownies, but she chose not to disappoint anyone-"

"-That's enough Minjae. You don't need to defend their stupidity." Manager Park shuts down the arguments quickly.

"Fortunately he's okay. But they recommended that he stay there for a few days, just to be sure."

"A few days? We have a show in Japan this weekend!" Hyunwoo complained.

"Unfortunately he will not be joining you." He looked at you and Hana.

"Hana after your lunch break get the van ready, you're driving them to their offline fan-meeting, As for you," he looks you up and down.

"You will be going to the CEO's office before the day ends, to explain why Hunter won't be in Japan with the rest of the group. Is that clear?"

You gaped at his demand, and he gave you a stern look.

He definitely wanted you out of here. But unless you want to get into even more trouble, you have no choice.

"...Yes sir."

●・○・●・○・●・●・○・●・○・●・●・○・●・○・

"Manager Park can be a real asshole sometimes honestly" Jiwoo mutters after Hana had finished relaying the events from 20 minutes ago back to her, while you quietly ate your lunch, trying to prepare yourself to speak to the CEO.

"Also what the fuck is he even talking about, they can't block you from future jobs." She looked at Hana "They can't, right?"

She shrugged and Jiwoo carried on ranting angrily while you both ignored her.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay. Just explain to him that it was accident and that you meant no harm, okay?" She said patting your back.

"...What was Seeun saying about me this morning?" she blinked at you

"What?"

"Earlier, you said He'd been on my ass even while I wasn't there. What did he say?"

"Well... He said-"

"-You're fucking kidding me." You both looked at Jiwoo who was staring at her phone screen in shock.

"Is everything okay?" Hana asks her, she looks at you worriedly then shoves her phone into her bag.

"Yea, yea Its-I'm-I'm fine. Its fine. Lets just eat our food." She says but only stares at her half-eaten sandwich.

"Jiwoo what's going on?"

"It's nothing Y/n, just eat your food."

"Jiwoo why are you acting weird-" Hana's sentence is cut off but the loud announcement on cafe's TV;

Meanwhile for news of the entertainment industry, YG Entertainment has released a statement confirming that 19-year-old model, Shin Areum is in a relationship with Seeun of the boy group Xikers, under KQ Entertainment. The statement had recently been published after photos of the two being spotted together were released last night. YGE's statement confirms that they have been dating for a year now since March 22nd of last year. KQ Entertainment also released a statement, to confirm the news and ask fans to respect their artist as well as his partner's privacy. Congratulations to the young couple.

While the cafe is filled with murmurs of excitement or disappointment, your table is dead silent.

"Was that what you saw on your phone?" Hana hissed. Jiwoo looks at you guiltily.

"I'm sorry, Y/n... You've already been having a bad day, i didn't wanna make it worse-"

"...It's fine." You responded quietly. Her and Hana look at each other awkwardly before glancing back at you.

"...We have to go back to work soon, will you be okay?"

"Yeah like I can ask someone to cover for me-"

"-No, you should go. I'll be fine." you give them a weak smile.

They give each other a worried glance and then look back at you.

"I'll be okay, I promise." Hana sighs, but picks up her bag to leave.

"We'll see you later okay?" Hana says making her way to the door.

Jiwoo gives your shoulder a comforting squeeze and follows Hana out.

'They have been dating for a year now since March 22nd of last year.'

March 22nd. The day Seeun asked you to be his girlfriend.

●・○・●・○・●・●・○・●・○・●・●・○・●・○・

"So Hunter won't be going Japan this weekend because, you poisoned him?"

You frowned at that. Poisoned is such a strong word. Your boss hadn't even looked up at you as he spoke. he simply carried on with his paperwork.

"I didn't poison him."

Yea you were definitely in the wrong but to say you poisoned him? That makes it sound like you did it on purpose! which isn't the case here.

"You bought him food that contains something he's allergic to, yes?"

"Yes but-"

"You had forgotten about those allergies when you bought this food right?"

"Yes sir-"

"You didn't warn him that this food might not be safe for him to eat?"

"No sir, I was-"

"You forgot he had allergies and didn't warn him about the brownies. Then he ate them and now he's in the hospital due to your negligence. So, you poisoned him." he said with a small smile.

You sighed at his explanation, but didn't argue futher.

"Yes sir."

He put his paperwork aside and finally looked at you, giving you a kind smile.

"You were also late this morning too and yesterday you had left with the office key so there was no way for your colleagues to enter. The lock had to broken because there's no spare key."

"I'm sorry sir."

"I know you are. You're usually on your A-game, you seem to be a little off today. Is something wrong?"

Although this doesn't really clarify whether you still have your job or not, you can't help the slight feeling of relief that washes over you. While your lovely manager, assumes you're just makng excuses, at least your CEO is willing to hear you out.

"I'm just, kind of going through something right now."

He nods, clasping his hands in front of him.

"I take it you have seen the statement already."

Oh.

Just when you thought you had forgotten the news of Seeun and Areum.

"...Yes, I have."

"I am very sorry Y/n. I know this arrangement must be very uncomfortable but for now, it's our best option."

Your brows furrowed in confusion. What arrangement?

"On the plus side, it is only temporary. At least until-"

"I'm sorry sir but, can I ask what arrangement you're talking about?" you interrupted. He went silent for a moment.

"...Seeun didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

It was now his turn to look confused.

"Seeun said he would speak to you yesterday evening. what exactly did he say?"

"He broke up with me last night."

His mouth formed an 'O' as if he had just realized something.

"So that is how chose to handle this."

Does he know something about you and Seeun breaking up?

"Sir, what's going on?"

He straightened himself in his seat with a neutral look on his face.

"Y/n, I hope you are aware that the counselling facilities we have here are for all of our staff, not just the idols."

"Wait but what's going on with-"

"Y/n. If Seeun feels it's best you don't know, then i will respect his wishes. Please, never ask about this again."

He cleared his throat and handed you a card.

Kim Minji Counselling & Therapy Seoul St. Mary's Hospital +82 46 5675 1877

"You will need to see Miss Kim for the rest of the month."

Is he serious?

"Sir with all due respect, I don't need a therapist for a breakup-"

"If it's affecting you to the point where you nearly poison one of our idols, I think you do." He cut you off picking up his pen to start on his work again.

"I've asked Manager Park to set up an appointment for you. You will see her every Wednesday at 10am, and your progress will be reported back to your supervisors."

"Wednesdays at 10am? When will do my work?"

He looked at you at you smiling.

"You won't. You'll have all the time in the world, because you're suspended."

You felt your heart sink.

"...What?"

"Until Dr Kim confirms it's okay for you to come back. You will still be paid don't worry, I can't stop you from getting your groceries for the month. Think of it as a little vacation. To help you relax your mind a bit."

As much he was trying to make you feel better about this, you still felt tears well up in your eyes, with an uncomfortable heavy feeling in your chest. He sighed, looking at you with remorse.

"It's either this, or we fire you and press charges. I know it was an accident, but it is an accident that could've been prevented if you were more careful."

You quickly wiped at the tear that ran down your cheek. 'Don't cry.' you thought to yourself 'You're not a victim here. This is your fault.'

"You're done for the day. Go home and get as much rest as you can, okay?"

"Yes sir."

At least you still have your job right?

The DiMaggio Crime Family info

(this is based on my AU which I have been developing with @fernikart57 and @ghosttrickfan9887 )

The Big Boss: Joel Fontana (OC by Fernikart57)

He comes from a long line of men of the same name. The first one came to the US to find a better life; his son found a much better life in crime, which he in turn taught to his own son. This current Joel is the fourth in the line and is perhaps the most bitter and angry, due to his extremely toxic upbringing and the feeling that no one likes him.

He eventually takes a seat on the Mafia Commission and spends more time in other cities, but he got his start in Springfield.

The Boss: Don Vittorio DiMaggio

His ancestor had come to the US with the first Fontana to help get them set up. Vittorio has always been a very level headed, calm, almost sweet man who found a lot of solace in his friendship with Fat Tony. He was groomed to be the boss since middle age and carefully, quietly, led things under Joel's eye. Eventually he takes over the DiMaggio crime family in Springfield and New Jersey.

He found love in his earlier age but because he was in love with another man, his father went nuclear. Vittorio had to leave his love forever. Now he continues to stay away from men romantically and collects cats.

The Underboss: Marion Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico

His ancestors worked faithfully alongside the DiMaggios; Tony was a sort of Mafia prince from a young age. He had everything going for him and he really embraced it. He was close with Vittorio from the start and took pride in being a good enforcer for him.

He later meets a woman named Anna Marie and they hit it off almost immediately. He later has a son with her; she dies later.

Since Don Vittorio is a very hands-off leader, Tony is seen to be the boss of the crew by many. Tony does not at all mind getting his hands dirty or helping his men do tasks that usually only peons do.

He's always been a bit chubby, but as he aged he put on the pounds. He's content with that.

The Consigliere: Armin Tamzarian aka Seymour Skinner

Seymour started his life as a criminal, but when he joined the Army, he seemed to put that behind him, especially when he met a man who inspired him to do better. He became the principal of the elementary school and an important figure in the society. But as time went by and the school funds dried, Seymour desperately turned to the Mafia for a loan.

Since he couldn't pay it back in money, Tony allowed Seymour (after having a cute meeting at a restaurant) to pay him back via tasks, like administrative or other nerdy jobs. Eventually they fell in love and a lot more responsibility was thrust upon Seymour.

He's gone through a lot with Tony, lost a lot, gained a lot. He's changed quite a bit, but is still the same sweet, deferential man he's always been.

The Co-Consigliere: Dan Gillick

He started working for the Mafia when he walked in on his old boss talking to some goons. He was threatened and promised to stay quiet. He was always good with numbers; eventually his boss "gave" him to the Mafia.

The mobsters never really respected Dan, especially as he tried to get them to curtail their spending. He had to make sure they weren't hemorrhaging money. At least because he's such a little, frail guy, no one tried to get physical with him. Don Vittorio respected and liked him a lot.

The Top Enforcer: Giovanni "Johnny Tightlips" Silencio

He was part of Carina's (more on her later) crew in New Jersey, still under the umbrella of Don Vittorio and Joel. Johnny was transferred down to Springfield after a series of gang wars took out of a lot Tony's men. Johnny was always so cool and sharp and aloof; Tony had a man-crush on him from the start and still admires him. However, the two can often butt heads as Johnny has a rather independent spirit.

Enforcer: Paulie (OC by me)

He's an older member, a middle ranking capo who's been stagnating in that rank for years now. He's bitter and resentful but decent at his niche job: making collections for the Numbers Game. He often works alongside another mobster.

Enforcer: Jimmy "The Scar"

He's been with Tony from the beginning, though in his early days he was ordered by Joel to spy on his own colleagues. This made him quite unpopular, but when he took the order to pretend to be a cop so he could spy on them, he started to regain some esteem. He's always been level headed and calm and pretty easy going; the guys end up liking him despite his ugly beginnings.

Enforcer: Max "Legs" Legman

He has an explanation for his nickname; he just never gets the chance to tell it. He's one of the few trans members of the crew, and no one knows until the information is forced out of him later. Probably due to an injury. This is partly why he is very stand-offish and touch averse.

He ran away from home at a young age and met Louie, another young runaway. They did what they had to to survive; eventually Louie was picked up by the local Mafia crew due to his Italian heritage. Legs is not Italian, but Louie made it clear they are a two part deal. Now Legs is the crew's medic, having a special talent for it.

Enforcer: Louie

Brash, thoughtless, careless, but with a good heart for a life of crime. He loves Legs but sense how he pulls away; he is constantly trying to get close, then pulling away. He's almost gotten whacked before due to his mistakes, but so far squeaks by because he's willing to do just about anything for Tony.

Peon: Frankie "The Squealer" Veloce

By all rights, he should be dead many times over. He has a compulsion to spill secrets, the more important the more it physically hurts him to keep it in. He is deeply insecure and painfully aware of how "little" he is, in many ways. He just wants to feel big; he wants to feel like he matters. His biological family has always been distant and sort of just pushed him into the Mafia.

Sometimes Tony sends Frankie to the cops to squeal about less important things to distract them.

Peon: Carmine Veloce (OC by me)

A recent member. He's trans and has no idea what he's doing. He barely passes but if the other guys realize, they don't say anything directly about it. He's usually made to do shit jobs like cleaning up and dissolving dead bodies. He's Frankie's cousin, but Frankie doesn't know about his new identity.

The New Jersey Crew

Led by Carina D'Amico, this satellite crew runs things in Newark, New Jersey for the benefit of Don Vittorio and Joel. The crews are primarily independent of each other though will sometimes visit each other or join up for battles.

Boss: Carina D'Amico (OC by me)

She was born Silvio D'Amico, and was raised as a Mafia prince alongside her brother Tony. She was sent to New Jersey as a youth to establish a crew there. She ruled her crew with an iron fist as Silvio for many, many years, knowing something was wrong but afraid to address it in this extremely toxic and macho world of the Mafia.

She started transitioning only recently. There are many in the Mafia who still know her as Silvio, though few make the mistake to call her that. Don Vittorio admires her a lot and has set the standard for his entire Family to respect her.

Underboss: Fausto

A hot headed man whore with many boyfriends, Fausto is Carina's trusted leg breaker. He's her main enforcer. He's tough and brittle, but there's a sensitive heart down there somewhere.

Consigliere: John Lawson (OC by Fernikart57) (not pictured)

More level headed, but also very cruel. He keeps the books for Carina. He is too fragile to fight physically, but his ability to run numbers in his head makes him scary to debtors.

Medic: Layla "Flake" (OC by me)

She got involved with the Mafia when her brother took a job from the wrong man and got imprisoned. She went into debt trying to help him. She met some peons who worked for Carina and eventually met Carina herself, offering whatever she could do instead of money. She's been studying to be a doctor, but was stopped by lack of funds. Carina pays her well now, but keeps her on call at all times.

Enforcer: Floyd (OC by Fernikart57)

A sensitive, careful guy. He lost his arm in a battle; however is the primary driver for the crew in their modified car.

Enforcer: Gregorio

A nasty middle aged guy. He's a smooth talker, a real lady killer, but he's genuinely violent with them too.

Be My Favorite Ep 10 Musings

I can't stop thinking about the parallel of the three conversations with parents that happen in this episode:

Kawi and his father, in which his father asks Kawi to promise not to stagnate if he dies [and the fact that they left this conversation to this episode rather than the last one feels intentional]

Pear and her father, in which her father underscores for her that a "perfect life" life is not a stagnate goal, it's going to keep moving and be complicated and the things you might think you want now might change later, and as you keep living it your circumstances will change, so aiming to be resilient and open to change is a better goal

Pisaeng and his mother, in which his mom tries to discourage Pisaeng and Kawi's relationship because she wants to protect Pisaeng from harm, and Pisaeng (beautifully delivered by Gawin) begs to be allowed to be happy, which is not the same thing as safe at all

Because as we saw from Kawi's initial future, staying still is not happiness. And as we saw from his third future, getting your "perfect life" is not necessarily happiness either; and neither is keeping your heart safe by not going for your goals (see: Gawin in that third future). And as Max told us before, happiness is worth staying and fighting for.

And we saw Kawi put that into effect right away when he called Pisaeng's mom at the first hint of trouble, even though it turned out he didn't need to, he still got rewarded with her blessing.

But one step forward is not a full behavioural change, and he's still hesitating to have this important conversation about sex with Pisaeng. So I'm hopeful that that conversation will happen [has happened? 🤡]

The link is to @dribs-and-drabbles' poll about this potential clown theory in which Pisaeng time travelled in ep10 when we saw him turn the music globe thing that I also thought maybe had happened and am invested in having maybe happened, though as I keep saying, this show keeps surprising me and coming up with ways things happen that are even better than I thought, so I'm not holding on too tight.

Because all of these threads are coming together so beautifully!

Also btw: all three conversations had the parent expressing regret or a belief that they'd made mistakes to their child. Kawi's dad wished for a do-over, Pear's dad talked about the harm he caused by holding on to his anger for Pear's mother, and Pisaeng's mother admitted she may have made a wrong judgement. There's something beautiful about these parents being able to admit to their children that they aren't perfect and have made mistakes in the episode when their kids start to get their feet under themselves. Everyone in this show is allowed to be so human.

[For that reason I'm not going to pass judgment on what happened at the end of the episode yet because if this show is predictable about one thing, it's that it will show us more of the picture later, and that additional info often changes the meaning of what we saw.]

Thicker than blood - 29

Hello!!! So, here I am with another chapter. I promise that this chapter and then 30 and then the really horrible part is over. So hang tight! CW: Aelin is in a bad place and she has almost given up on everything, so yeah, her thoughts are quite dark.

I am coming.

Aelin had felt that. It had been clear through the bond. His voice brushing her mind gently.

She opened her eyes and only saw darkness and the horrible stench of blood. How many humans had she killed? How many had she turned? She was helping Maeve build her army and the idea was driving her crazy. She was tired. Erawan had kept pumping her blood with whatever toxic juice he fancied that day. Her body was on fire and she was constantly sick. All the humans she drank were not A+ and her body rejected them but they were so jacked up with drugs that she kept drinking no matter the pain. If she ever made it out alive it would be very hard to kick the addiction. This time it was bad and in the last few days she had given up. A part of her had begged for death. She was so damn tired.

I am coming.

His voice again.

Why would he bother? She was such a mess that no one deserved to take care of someone like her. But a part of her, a tiny part that was still trying to hope for the best, wished he was there already. Hoped to scent again pine and snow and fall asleep at the feeling of being at home.

A sob escaped her mouth. She missed him. Gods, she missed him so much…

She was sobbing hard when Erawan opened her cell “come on pet, we have another session ready for you.”

Aelin tucked away the thoughts of her mate in her heart and pushed emotions aside ready for another session of torture.

*

Rhoe had tried to contact Rowan for days now. He had left voicemails, texts, call after call got unanswered. After three days like that he had decided to take his car and pay the man a visit.

He arrived at the house and saw all the lights were off. It was evening, maybe Rowan had gone to work. He very much hoped so. Lysandra had admitted she had a spare key that Rowan had given her when Aelin was staying at his place and was unwell. She had felt bad at betraying Rowan’s trust that way but Rhoe had convinced her that it was important.

He opened the house and stepped in and switched on the lights and once in the living room he saw a sea of maps sprawled on the floor. The man crouched down and had a look at all the notes and satellite photos. Rowan had been trying to find Aelin. 

A sense of guilt hit him. That should have been his job, but he had been so busy with Darrow that he had let one of his men in charge of it. Gods, he had abandoned his daughter once more. How could Aelin ever forgive him? He was about to stand up when he spotted a mark on a map. Rowan had added a note saying that it was a fitting location. Rhoe grabbed the paper and then a noise startled him. Rowan’s mobile was abandoned on the table and a man called Gavriel was calling.

Rhoe picked up the phone and answered.

“Damn it Rowan, about time. Where are you? We were expecting you at work three days ago. Lorcan said that you have been reinstated.”

Rhoe listened in silence “Rowan is not here at the moment.”

“Who are you?” Asked the man on the other side of the line.

“Rhoe Galathynius. I think Rowan has left on a mission.”

Silence.

“He is going to do something stupid.”

“Leave it to me.”

Rhoe hung up the phone and went back gathering all the info his son in law had pieced together. The location he had chosen was so deep in the mountains that there was no vehicle access. Had he been hiking this whole time? Frantically he grabbed his phone and made some calls and a few minutes later he locked the door of the house behind him and left.

*

Lorcan walked to his office and once inside he collapsed exhausted on his chair and ran a hand through his long hair. A deep sigh left him.

He was in his dress mess uniform. Interim mayor Darrow had organised in record time a memorial for all the humans and vampire victims that had lost their lives in the recent months. The attendance had been very high and the main square in front of the main government building had been packed. Police and his unit had been patrolling for fear of a possible attack from Maeve. But that fear had not stopped all the citizens from taking the streets and pay their respects. Rhoe Galathynius had joined the ceremony a little later and Lorcan was surprised at seeing the man late.

Darrow and Rhoe had then taken the time to explain to the population that change was coming. They were both running for mayor, and the plan got a roaring approval from the vampires who were aware that they finally had some representation. They wanted the two species to coexist peacefully like in other parts of Erilea. 

Rhoe had then stated that he was converting the now abandoned deviation centres, in venues to help people with addictions but with a program that was not as brutal as the previous one. He explained that his wife was planning on creating a foundation to look after these structures and allow vampires to have a second chance. Lorcan thought about some of the guys in his unit. They had gone from criminals to agents and although he agreed that the program had been brutal it had worked. He admitted to himself that perhaps a gentler approach was needed.

He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened them Gavriel was standing in front of him.

“Rowan is gone, I thought you allowed him back.”

Lorcan groaned. Since the jail incident they had not talked and he doubted his friend wanted anything to do with him.

“I have no idea where he is.”

Gavriel’s hand landed on his desk “I haven’t heard from him in ages and when he finally picks up it’s Rhoe Galathynius. Something is brewing.”

“He will come back after he clears his head,” he added coldly “since he married that woman he has lost it.”

Gavriel growled “That woman makes him happy.” He stood back and left the room slamming the door hard.

His hand ran through his hair once more and a ragged breath left his lungs. He had to apologise to Rowan and get his friend back in his unit. It was all falling apart and he needed his friend at his side.

*

Maeve was sitting comfortably in her studio with a newspaper in her hands. The front page was plastered with the news of the riots that had ended the tenure of the mayor and the rebellions in the deviation centre. But as she perused the articles there was no more news of Aelin being a junkie. It had lasted for a day and then it had disappeared. At the memorial, Rhoe had gathered supporters instead of losing them after the harsh interview released. Maeve groaned in frustration. She had failed at undermining the man and now he had put his name down to ran as mayor with Darrow. 

In a burst of anger she balled up the newspaper and shouted for one of her guards to call for Erawan.

The man arrived a few minutes later.

“You called?”

“How is our pet doing?”

The man smirked “I have been increasing the doses of spiked blood and she is feeding now from all the humans I place in a cell, but she is not ready yet.”

Maeve looked at him with curiosity.

“For our plan to work she needs to be on the verge of slipping, but I can’t seem to push her that far.”

“I need her to transform in a wild animal. I need my niece to slip.”

“I am trying,” he snarled back.

“Rhoe and Darrow are having a rally soon. I need to be able to unleash Aelin on the crowd and have her kill humans in front of her dear father. That will definitely destroy the support for him.”

The man nodded.

“I thought all the modifications were meant to make her more prone to relapsing and slip.”

“Yes,” he nodded “But somehow she is resisting.”

“Fix this.”

He bowed and left the room.

Maeve called a few of her men and told them to keep attacking humans. If Rhoe thought he had won, he had a surprise coming for him.

*

Aedion had finally managed to go back to his lab in the huge mansion after the police had released it back to the Galathynius. Rhoe had been staying there from time to time when he had meeting in town with Darrow but Evalin had decided to stay in the mountains and the man had been happy at the idea. At least he knew his wife was safe. 

He had missed having a professional lab. The one is his house was okay for very small jobs. He needed state of the art machines and the Galathynius had it.

Aedion was still dead set in creating a type of synthetic blood that Aelin could tolerate. He used her golden blood as a template and started working from it. 

Lysandra had told him that creating golden blood in a lab would help humans too. But alas that experiment had failed. Humans could not tolerate synthetic blood so the dream of solving the chronic shortage of blood for transfusions had remained a dream.

He was busy at work when he heard footsteps approaching. He turned and saw Rhoe dressed up in mountain gear.

“How does it feel being back here?”

“I missed having a real lab at my disposal.”

The man chuckled “Aedion, I am going on a mission for a while.”

Aedion stared at him in confusion.

“Rowan is going after Aelin. I was in his flat and saw maps. I think he found the location and I can’t let him deal with this on his own.”

“That is dangerous.”

“I need to save Aelin.”

Aedion nodded. Rhoe had been hard at work since Aelin was taken. It had destroyed him making that horrible interview but it had helped to keep Maeve at bay. As long as he was back for the rally with Darrow. They had to win the public in the last stretch of the campaign.

“Save her, please.”

The man nodded “You and Lys go and keep company to Evalin from time to time.”

Aedion nodded.

“We will come back with Aelin.”

Aedion really wanted to believe the man in front of him.

*

Gavriel and his unit were patrolling the streets at night. After Rowan’s disappearance Lorcan had placed him in charge. It did not matter that Hamel had been deposed. Maeve and her minions were still a threat so Lorcan had ordered the paranormal unit to continue patrol as if nothing had happened. Slowly some clubs had started reopening and a few more people flocked again back to the old customs although the streets were not as busy as before. People apparently were still wary and knew that the danger was not over just yet. Gavriel loved that they were being cautious. 

He was walking with Fenrys when they reached the Vaults. The club was boarded shut and still had the police tapes to mark it as a crime scene.

Gavriel paused and stared at the flowers and cards that citizens had deposited in front of the place. The images of that night forever etched in his mind.

“All those life destroyed…” was Fenrys’ comment. His voice low and deep with grief. He had not gone inside but he was on the streets and had watched the paramedics carry away all those humans. It made him want to bring Hamel back from the dead and inflict an even bigger punishment.

Darrow had slowly removed all the bans that the previous mayor had inflicted and stopped the need for vampires to submit to blood tests every two days. He had called it the firsts step into creating a new bridge towards the two species co existing together once more. The decision had gained him a great success among both species. Ansel had gone back to work in the deviation centre and was helping dismantle the hellsite. She then had asked Evalin Galathynius to take part in her initiative and the woman had been ecstatic.

“Any news from Rowan?”

Gavriel shook his head “I just hope he is fine. I don’t want to imagine what is passing through his head right now.”

Fen was about to speak but down the road they heard screams and they ran and once at the spot they saw a man attacking a young woman and drinking from her.

The two men ran in her aid and while Fen looked after the victim, Gavriel neutralised the man pretty quickly. A newborn. 

“Fen, a newbie, there might be more around.”

Fenrys called paramedics and a police van to take the vampire away. With the transition they were trying to decide what to do with people they arrested, so for now they were taken to HQ and booked in.

Once the paramedics arrived, Fenrys let the young woman in their care and joined his partner “This is Maeve. The bitch needs to die soon too.”

Gavriel sighed and looked away “Soon.”

Criminal Minds anyone??

Hey hey hey!  I’m currently craving a Criminal Minds roleplay, which I know is kind of a longshot, but it’s worth it to at least try… I hope!  Anyway, I’m 25 and located in PST, although I don’t mind which timezone you’re in, I’ve had partners from all over.   I have over ten years writing experience and have done a bit of freelance writing on the side as well.  As for my writing, I can easily write around two paragraphs, but if the scene calls for it I can go 3-5, it just depends.  I do prefer rapid replies around two paras, but this is in no way a dealbreaker as I know not everyone has this sort of time. 

Just a few quick rules that are important to me are as follows: 

All partners must be 18+

I’m a fan of smut and think it can lend itself to the plot, so as long as it makes sense in the plot I’d love to include it!

Since doubling is a big thing now, I want to explain my stance - I’m so down for playing side characters in order to world build, however I won’t do an ‘I’ll scratch your back, you scratch mine’ deal.  I’m not too great at playing canons, which is why I tend to play ocs.  Sorry if this is a dealbreaker for you!

As for what I’m looking for specifically, it would be someone to play Spencer Reid against an original character of mine.  While I do have a bio/background written up for her, here’s a quick lil summary for you to get a feel for her: she’s an investigative journalist and very much in the same vein as Gale Weathers, just not as bitchy lol.  Due to her history though, she definitely has a dry sense of humor and is sarcastic to a fault.  She has a history with the FBI due to her father’s murder and I’ve always liked the idea of Rossi having had something to do with the unsolved investigation.  

I'd also love to include other characters, I think they’re important to who Spencer is but I’d also love to see Olivia interact with them.  We can split them up, but this isn’t a necessity if you don’t want to!  

For this pairing I have a few little snippets of ideas for the most part, but I also have a decently fleshed out one that I can tell you about if my rambling hasn’t put you off yet haha.  Even though I don’t wish harm on my favorite boy, I would also, maybe later down the line, like to explore his addiction a bit more and perhaps a relapse?  I feel like the show sort of glossed over it and I’d love to dive deeper into what it’s done to Spencer, as well as those around him, and how he handles it.

As far as potential partners go, this is kind of what I’m looking for: 

Can reply at least once a day, but would prefer multiple times.  (obviously this doesn’t apply if something comes up, just let me know, I’m not strict or scary, promise!)

Loves to gush about the characters/pairings/fandom we’re writing.  I love getting invested and coming up with potential future plot points or doing aus or hcs about where they could end up.  It’s all so fun!

In that same vein though, I do want to set a boundary: I don’t do anything that requires me to share my voice or move off of discord.  I have super bad anxiety so any kind of call or sharing of personal info stresses me out a lot.  I’ve tried it once and it all ended in a mess and I’d rather not get into it again, so please be able to respect that. 

If you write primarily on Discord in servers, that’s perfect!  And bonus points if you use tupperbox! 

If you’re another Criminal Minds fan and want to give Spencer a go, I’d love to hear from you!  Either PM me on here or add me on discord - toxicdeliquency 

If you do message me though, PLEASE send more than a ‘hey’, maybe introduce yourself and your history with writing/roleplaying or the fandom?  Idk, just something to let me know this is the ad you came from haha.  Hope to hear from some of y’all!

Till the End of the Moon - Episode 6

It was hard at first for me to watch this drama, because I’m not a fan of the acting of Luo Yunxi, however I’m getting used to it and the storyline so far is pretty interesting. I can’t say there’s much that is very original and that I’ve never seen, but it’s entertaining. Last episode was a little hard for me, because of the violence, so I hope it won’t be too recurrent even though the male lead is a villain to become.

Susu agreed to teach Tantai Jin how to draw some talismans. The first one she teaches him allows to see beautiful sceneries. At first, he deems it’s useless, but she slowly convinces him that it’s useful, so he agrees to learn. However, because of his evil bone, there’s not a chance he could ever actually cultivate his spiritual energy. When he draws the talisman, he doesn’t work, so she tells him he needs to empty his heart of all bad thoughts, it doesn’t work all the time. He practices until late at night and gets a little annoyed at Susu for falling asleep. She ties him up with another talisman and orders him to sleep. While she cuddles him, he manages to activate one of the talisman he drew and beautiful sceneries appear again. He seems somewhat happy. Poor thing.

The king reads a report about the attack on the wedding and he does one plus one. The people from where Tantai Jin’s mom was coming from are able to talk to animals. So he figure he should get rid of Tantai Jin. He also learns about the return of Ye Xiwu’s brother.

Ye Qingyu is a very strict boy. He is very polite and is also somewhat the head of the family. Seeing that Ye Xiwu is making her elders wait for breakfast, he goes to get her, only to see her sleeping on the lap of her husband. He punishes her by slapping her hands and making her kneel. She really has no choice, even though he’s her younger brother. Later on, Chun Tao comes to Ye Xiwu because Ye Qingyu is going to find Tantai Jin. He asks him if he was reading some spells and basically kind of accuse him of being behind the crow attack since he wasn’t injured. That Ye Qingyu is very smart. Susu to the rescue, she says she has been learning and dragged him along because she was bored learning alone. She started learning because of the monster incident. Plus she testifies he had been with her the whole time. So Ye Qingyu apologizes and says that from now on he should have his meals with the rest of the family.

Tantai Jin has run out of power and he needs to find another monster to recharge. However, Ye Wuxi follows him everywhere and her brother is suspicious about him, so it won’t be an easy feat.

It doesn’t seem very important for now, but the older brother is gambling in town with a lady. I think she will be somewhat important. Anyways, he gets punished by his younger brother for hurting their family’s image.

Susu takes Tantai Jin out to go shopping. He tries to find a monster, but even though he can feel their energy, he can’t find one. The other nanny is looking for him, but won’t approach him while Ye Xiwu is next to him. They also see Ye Qingyu shopping with the lady from the gambling house. So that lady is the demon. No wonder.

Susu buys the warm clothes she promised to Tantai Jin and on their way back home, she buys everything from a lady that is still selling her firecrackers so she can go home early to spend the new year’s eve.

Maybe this recap is a little shorter than usual. A lot happened, but it was so much into the details, I’m not sure if it was important or not. So I tried to relate what seemed important, maybe I missed a few crucial infos but I’m doing my best.
