@tricky-tricky-boys​ continued from here
“I mean I could do those things too...” He muttered, not that he didn’t like Andrew getting protective but he could take care of himself. So he smiled gratefully as Andrew adjusted his tie before nodding and following the other witch down to the car, waiting until they were seated in the back before speaking. “Alright, I will do my best not to embarrass you or anything. But if someone really annoys me, I make no promises about not snapping on them.” Grinning slightly, he nudged Andrew lightly. “And hey, at least you can just claim that you got the sassiest sub there under lock and key. Literally.” He fingered the charm pinned to his suit.

As intoxicating as Andrew found it to have all that power beneath him, Wyatt was finding it differently, if not equally, exhilarating to have someone who could hand all of it; handle all of him. He was so used to always staying in control of himself, but with the pollen set in along with Andrew’s own potent magicks, the blonde was letting it all go as his head was pulled up and he moaned loudly for the Red Witch to hear. Somehow, the hand covering his mouth made it even better, and Wyatt pushed his back flush against Andrew’s chest as he leaned over him and started fucking him how they both needed. Moaning into Andrew’s hand, Wyatt just nodded along as he began reflecting some of the pleasure he was feeling back on his Master. Hours passed, but time meant nothing when all Wyatt could think about was Andrew’s body on his and how good his cock felt ramming inside of him, until the point where they both came, Wyatt with a loud scream, and they were blasted away from each other in a powerful shockwave.
Tumblr media
Matt glanced up as he felt Andrew’s warning spell wash over him, immediately frowning and pulling out his phone to call his boyfriend. No answer. Heading into the bathrooms, he orbed from the mall to Andrew’s house, disabling any remaining wards as he walked through. Everything seemed fine, but he sensed Andrew in the conservatory along with... Wyatt? Opening the door, his eyes widened at just how trashed the place looked before his gaze fell on the two of them, laying on the floor, bruised, bloody, sweaty and... naked. A million questions raced through his mind, but for the moment, he lifted Andrew and Wyatt into the air and brought them both to his bedroom, cleaning them up and healing their injuries before settling them both in bed. Setting up his own wards in the conservatory and around the rest of the house, he sat at the foot of the bed and waited to see who would wake up first.
Tumblr media
Andrew just growled as he finally sank into him and felt that power lash out. All that power... and it was beneath him. It was intoxicating. The walls of the conservatory trembled, holding on by sheer force of Andrew's and Wyatt's combined protections. As Wyatt spoke on, Andrew just kept going, grabbing a fistful of the boy's hair and using it as leverage as he pounded into him. "So fucking mouthy, aren't you?" His other hand came around to cover Wyatt's mouth, leaning down to growl in his ear. "Fucktoys are silent." He grinned and leaned in more to bite down on Wyatt's shoulder, not slowing his thrusts for even a moment as his magick worked to stimulate Wyatt's body.
It was hours before they finally disconnected. The pollen had settled, and in theor climactic moments, had been blasted apart. Andrew had been hurled across the room, slamming into the glass wall and getting shards embedded into his back from the impact. Bruised, bloody, and sweaty. He slumped to the ground, unconscious as the protects went down... and alarms went up. The spell was designed to notify Andrew. If he was incapacitated... the spell moved to alarm Matthew. A feeling of dread and the word danger.

@maya-matlin, I know your message was a single character's name, but I'll go ahead and respond for the show, instead, if that's all right.
❤ Favorite character: Takashi Shirogane, my beloved.
Tumblr media
👿Least favorite character: Sendak. As awful as Zarkon is, Sendak inspires a visceral hatred in me that only Haggar comes close to. Maybe it's his smug sense of superiority, or the fact that he's Shiro's personal tormentor who not only gets off on torturing Shiro,
Tumblr media
but is implied to have sexually violated him, as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Regardless, I derive immense satisfaction from the- tragically brief- moment of Shiro getting to overpower Sendak and using the ugly hulking bastard's momentum against him to piledrive him into the ground.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's not nearly enough, but it's something.
Though, I still think Shiro should have got to kill him. As a treat.
💐Comfort character: Shiro.
Tumblr media
And, Hunk.
Tumblr media
The sweetest boys. ❤
😍Character you have the biggest crush on: I don't know if I would call it a "crush", but...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I most certainly appreciate Shiro aesthetically.
🤝 Character you relate to the most: Shiro, for his experiences as a trauma survivor grappling with symptoms of self-loathing and PTSD, his fear of being a "broken" "monster", and drive to prove that he's so much more than what he was forced to be, and Hunk, for his anxiety, love of cute things, and desire to bring happiness and comfort to others.
🔥Character you think is overrated:
Tumblr media
🧨Character you love to hate: I don't enjoy hating anyone, but I would bring a bag of popcorn to watch Sendak and Haggar duke it out in a fight to the death.
🙈 Character you always forget exists: Any character exclusive to seasons three through six, which I still haven't been able to convince myself to watch because of the clone. I'm sorry, but I cannot take that haircut seriously.
The fact that "Kuron" is so blatantly not Shiro, and gets several seasons of both bonding with Shiro's found family, and driving wedges between them, while the real Shiro, whom I spent two seasons getting to know and love deeply, is dead and languishing on the Astral Plane sits so wrongly with me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two men are not the same person. I could go on and on about the differences in confidence levels, how the clone comes across as younger and having a harsher edge, while Shiro seems older, worn, and is much, much softer and gentler. How the clone seems to be wearing eyeliner while Shiro simply has long eyelashes. That Shiro's essence being transferred into the clone's body caused the clone's fringe to magically change shape and grow out, which is unintentionally hilarious--
Tumblr media
-- and proves that Shiro would never wear his hair that way...
I beg you, fandom, please stop referring to the clone as Shiro. He's an entirely separate person with a different temperament and his own unique personal struggles; not Actual Shiro with a different (terrible) haircut.
(It's also aggravating that "Kuron" got to reunite with Matt, who Shiro saved, while Post-Resurrection Shiro and Matt have no interaction onscreen. And, if the image I've seen floating around of "Kuron" in a group hug with Team Voltron is something that legitimately happened in the show, and not part of a character's fantasy, it's even more galling that the only people Post-Resurrection Shiro receives hugs from are Keith, right after his revival, and Allura, when she's bidding him farewell before she kills herself.
This man died, and he's only hugged by two people once he's brought back to life. Disgraceful.)
🐰Favorite non-human character: Since so much of the cast is comprised of non-human aliens, I'll reword this prompt a little bit.
My favorite non-human, in the sense that she doesn't have any somewhat human features other than two forward-facing eyes, two hands with fingers and thumbs, two feet, and a mouth located on her face, is Shay.
Tumblr media
I love how gentle, sweet, and soft-spoken she is. Precious rock girl.
My favorite non-humanoid character is a three-way tie between Bae Bae,
Tumblr media
Kosmo,
Tumblr media
and the mice.
Tumblr media
Bonus shout out to Kova for having an interesting design and being a space cat.
❤️‍🩹 Character who deserved better: Just one? I'll have to go with the only character who was treated worse than Shiro by the hack brain trusts in charge of the train wreck this show became, and that is, of course, Allura. One could write entire essays covering all of the ways she was heinously wronged by the writers, from never getting the chance to heal from her grief over losing her parents and entire home world and culture, to having her trust exploited and betrayed by Lotor, to bearing the weight of her guilt over that betrayal all the way up to the moment she sacrifices herself, to the utterly needless and cruel sacrifice, itself.
The fact that I've seen fanfiction tags and comments referring to her as a "bitch", and fics where the author warps her character, emphasizing her flaws to a ridiculous degree for the purpose of bashing her, usually complemented by a nice side of Shiro warping and bashing, with the two of them uniting to be great big bullies to Lance, Keith, or both, is absurd and detestable. But, unfortunately, it's the sort of behavior one comes to expect from a fandom populated by majority young, somewhat overzealous fans.
Spite has always been a powerful motivator for me, however, so every encounter with a fic, comment, or post of this nature only makes me like Allura and her vastly under-appreciated friendship with Shiro all the more. The price of being noble, self-sacrificing, hyper-competent, beautiful, and hated by your writers because of it is immature fans who can't or are unwilling to appreciate you, I guess.
Their loss.
Tumblr media

Thank you so much for the submission! ❤

A List of My Favorite Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, & Helmut Zemo Fics + a few Matt Murdock fics
and from his bones the hills by bartonbones & LadyCharity ( @bartonbones @mykingdomforapen ). this rec goes out to my medical whump enjoyers, youll definitely get some here. really well written fic about bucky and sam getting kidnapped! :)
and the old linger by LadyCharity is GOOD FIC VERY GOOD FIC. i love the format of the three different characters confronting Bucky. the descriptions and dialogue flow so nicely into each other, it's really a wonder it wasn't written with old wizard magic (at least that i know of).
chance meeting by MedicBaymax. what an awesome crossover! macgyver and the winter soldier! this fic is short, sweet, and highly captivating. captures macgyver's wonderful resourceful antics and the winter soldier's seriousness and meshes the two characters very well together.
witness marks by bartonbones. a beautiful mixture of domestic and angsty moments and some lovely Wilson family! the emotional moments in this are wonderful.
irreplaceable by LadyCharity. this one is actually a Zemo fic! beautiful character writing in this and a really touching story. the writing flows gorgeously.
True Believers by scioscribe ( @scioscribe ) is another (mostly) zemo-centric fic that i love. i really love zemo in this fic, i think its a very good take on his character after the events of tfatws, and the plot of the fic is creative and serves the characters well. good fic!
I've got red in my ledger... by undertalefa. oh I love this fic. wonderful mix of emotional and physical whump! i love me a good beatdown :)
talking is overrated by undertalefa ( @undertalefa ). great writing in this short fic about Bucky and some trauma about the Winter Soldier he's maybe not dealing with so well.
Machines by novelti. wonderful! pure whump, this one. very angsty and dark. i love torture :)
Homecoming by Face_of_Poe. OH I LOVE THE SPUTNIK PART. I wish it would be used a million more times very awesome. Many good lines in the actual fic but I just have to share one from the author notes because "I just really like to rip out my own heart and stomp on it with the possibilities" is an incredibly funny and appropriate phrase for us writers.
Try To Do Something New by Red_Tigress ( @redtigress ). good fic with some hurt Bucky and hurt Sam! I loved the concept of the conflicting injuries too. very nice to read!
the prison disappears by LadyCharity. this fic has a certain feeling of comfort and domesticity to it that really makes it such a pleasure to read. the mood setting and descriptions work together in great tandem and the story is just so sweet. very lovely fic.
Rusted by Face_of_Poe is a fabulous collection of missing scenes/alt-pov scenes from tfatws. the character writing in this is phenomenal and the writing flows so easily. I love the Zemo POV he really is such a bitch (affectionate) thank you for your writing service.
straddled cooperation by VIKAN. ( @mustangst ) fantastic character dialogue in this, especially for zemo, and some very funny moments (ESPECIALLY for zemo lmao) the character interactions are so so enjoyable and well written. overall just a fabulous fic with some tremendous writing.
True Quiet by betterthanworse ( @betterthanworse ) A fantastic fic in which Bucky survives the war and encounters Zola. I loved how this fic explored the trauma that Bucky experienced specifically with Zola and his initial experiementation. I don't often see a lot of that in either fic or canon so it was very satisfying. and I also loved the emotional whump of course very good :)
Wrong About You, Wrong About Me by betterthanworse. In my reviewing of this fic, I accidentally read literally the entire thing again, so you know this fic is good lmao. 30k words and it literally flew by I was so immersed in the story. and boy does it have WHUMP. one of my all time favorite fics <33
open the door to heaven or hell by chaosy. one of my favorite crossovers, Matt Murdock and Bucky Barnes. exactly the scene you wanted to happen in canon but never did. well no matter! this does the job very well!!
Bandaids Don't Fix Bullet Holes (But Punisher Does) by our lovely @whumpdoyoumean !! (221Browncoat on Ao3) An awesome Daredevil fic with plenty of whump and plenty of Frank!! :D whumpy, touching, and very funny. fantastic read! :)
Witness by ysande. A wonderful bit of Matt whump and angst. Paints very well the relationship Matt has with Stick and provides a rational perspective (thank you, Foggy) on how messed up it is.

what is paper girl? and why do u like it so much?
OOH OK. so paper girls is like, two things- in like... 2022??? idk, amazon released a paper girls tv show that got cancelled after one season, which i have watched 5/8 episodes of, but before it was a tv show it was a comic series.
a really, really good comic series in my opinion.
the first issue was released in 2015, and the last was in 2019, with the entire series spanning 30 issues exactly. the way i initially read it was split into 6 volumes, and i now have a heavy ass complete collection of all the comics (my most prized possesion)
obviously, im a bigger fan of the comics than the show. i think the show generally has a bigger fandom, but the comics hold a special place in my heart, and by that i mean its the only thing left in my chest cavity.
plot wise its hard to explain without spoiling a bunch. a lot of people don't like paper girls bc its confusing or weird, or whatever. i remember when i first read through them all i did it in one night, at like 2 am, and by the end my brain felt like it was melting out of my ears, and it was the best feeling ever. i've been chasing the magic ever since.
the basic premise is that its a story about time travel initially set in 1988, following 4 girls, kj, mac, erin, and tiffany. all of them are 12 years old and work on delivering for their local newspaper, hence the name paper girls. on one morning (november 1st, dubbed 'hell morning' because its right after halloween and everyone is fucking crazy) they get caught up in some... really weird shit, and Plot happens.
i've read through the whole series like, 7 times now, so i am no longer confounded by the story, and it's prolly my favourite book/comic/piece of media, like, ever, because personally, i love weird and confusing sci-fi that i genuinely don't understand. it hits me in a certain part of my brain.
also, all of the characters are so likeable. their interactions and dynamics are hilarious to me, and i adore all of them so much. i think even for people who don't really like the main story, the characters can be a real high point of the comics.
also, art wise, it's fucking gorgeous. Matt Wilson and Cliff Chiang did such an incredible job with it, the colours and the linework are incredible. i recently took my physical copy of the comic to my art teacher just to gush about how pretty it is, and even a lot of the bad reviews for the series i've found say something along the lines of "i have no idea what happened, but it was really cool to look at,"
it can definitely be rough around the edges at times, with some homophobic, anti semitic and abelist slurs thrown in the mix (although these are always framed as being like, not good things to fucking say) but even with it's flaws, it will still forever have a hold on my brain.
ouaghhhh it makes me crazy. i am insane. paper girls made me crazy. i need to be sedated. fuck.
to round out my ramblings here's some of my favourite panels from the first few issues of the comics- enjoy

An examination of the Imogen/Laudna dynamic
Recently I came across a dissection of the dynamic between Imogen and Laudna that had some… interesting interpretations of events that happened in the game. Unfortunately, the further into the game I got, the more I started realizing that the person was critical of the actress playing Imogen rather than with the character herself (with what they said about the character of Jester - mind you, I've not watched more than a dozen episodes of Campaign 2 so I have no strong feelings about any of the characters in question so I'm not rising in defense of a character, just that this comment colored how I interpret their views of other characters by Laura). Rather than respond directly, I figured I'd examine specific points and my own views on these points.
First, they commented on how comments by Imodna shippers had basically turned Laudna into Imogen's "carry-on" which is… an odd view. It's fairly clear that Laudna is and has always been her own character. While Imogen and Laudna were introduced together and have frequently been by each other's sides, this has more to do with their backgrounds and how Marisha and Laura crafted their characters together, rather than how the characters interact. About the only real thing that I see that might be interpreted along those lines is how protective Laudna is of Imogen… and this works both ways with Imogen showing new powers to protect Laudna in turn. And a good part of this lies with their back stories and how they work together: essentially, both Laudna and Imogen were isolated for many years and only found solace and companionship when they met.
No doubt there are fans who view the characters this way and that's a shame! Characters are more than their ships, and the actresses and actors involved are going to tell their own stories (even as Matt throws monkey wrenches into the works). That said, there is a problem with going the other way and intrepreting characters (and their actresses) through personal biases. (No doubt the same could be said for me but I have a horrid memory for voices and names, to the point for decades I didn't know Mark Hamill had played Luke Skywalker despite seeing the first three films in the theaters.)
So. One comment was on how Laudna was the "Giver" and Imogen the "Receiver" in the relationship between the two, and honestly… for a long time I was a Giver. I was the friend who felt so persecuted that she felt unloved and unwanted and thus would give gifts to friends in "thanks" for their being friends. And while there are shades of that in Laudna, those same shades can be seen in Imogen. And the one time Imogen strayed from this significantly when under the influence of the Gnarlstone… she was under the influence of a malignant cursed magical item. And when Delilah deliberately destroyed it, it was in an effort to drive a wedge between Laudna (who was becoming increasingly stubborn and intractable thanks to Imogen's influence) and Imogen.
On one side, a person is recovering from addiction to a cursed item. On the other side you have a woman who has a poisonous voice whispering in her ear telling her that she will only ever be alone. Given those influences I'm surprised that they rectified things as quickly as they did… and Thull murdering Laudna happened soon after they were patching things up!
This may very well help explain how devastated Imogen was in losing Laudna. But what's more, it could easily be misinterpreted as Imogen constantly taking from Laudna and being unsure what to do now that this pillar of support is gone.. rather than a woman whose best friend was murdered before her eyes by someone who deliberately chose her friend because of their relationship and thus felt personally responsible for what had happened. In short, this is guilt over what happened to Laudna, and what happened to all her friends.
So. Does Imogen prioritize what Laudna wants to the same level as what Laudna does for Imogen? All we have to do is listen to what she said to Laudna when they were bringing her back. She told Laudna "I'm not going to tell you to come back, I'm not going to try to compel you to come back, because that choice, Laudna, is yours now. No one gets to control you anymore, all right? Just know that I love you, and I'm here."
Honestly… how is that not putting what Laudna wants above her own needs and desires? She told Laudna that she is not going to tell Laudna to come back or compel her, because the choice is Laudna's, not hers. This is after she and her friends descended into the Shadowfell and fought Delilah Briarwood to free Laudna from Delilah's influence. This is stating "you owe us nothing and can choose your own fate."
So, let's look at the romantic aspects of Imogen and Laudna's feelings for each other. I think they have been quietly in love with each other for two years now. If Ludinus had fallen down a flight of stairs and broken his neck a decade ago and all his plans fell apart as a result, then in all likelihood they would have slowly continued to grow together until finally they realized that their feelings were something more than friendship. But even if they are falling in love with each other, that does not mean that theirs will be a sexual relationship.
Laudna has been compartmentalizing for some time. And I think she pushed her feelings of desire into her Pate de Rolo persona because she felt so unlovable. Meanwhile… I think Imogen may very well have mixed feelings about sex because she's had a lot of trouble blocking people out. What's more, for all that she delves into people's minds regularly, I'm not sure she would look to see if Laudna feels that way toward her… and would just repress those feelings in herself. In short, Imogen and Laudna are a slow burn and if they ever do
come into culmination it will be after another several dozen episodes. Besides, they have a world to save. ;)

More post-e80 thoughts:
Two general things I just want to throw out there in the wake of having the shard/feywild arc largely wrapped up (although I hope there is more to come next episode in terms of the characters processing what happened).
(And of course I started writing this down as "two minor points" and it got stupidly long so I had to change the first sentence and now I guess I'll cut for sanity. The curse of being a verbose mfer.)
1.
I think "but they didn't trust each other at all???" re: the trust trial is kind of a weird take.
Given the setup, the central question or task in this trial isn't really "can you trust each other and thereby achieve your goal," it's "can you correctly identify the imposter(s), if any (and by implication, do you know each other well enough to do so) in order to achieve your goal." To phrase slightly differently, knowing each other and/or trusting that you know each other enough to identify each other is the point, because when you don't know whether the person in front of you is actually your friend, whether you do or do not trust your friend is irrelevant. But, if you can interact with someone who may or may not be your friend and come away confident in your judgment of whether it is them, that is at least by proxy evidence of a reasonably solid relationship. And, although opinions may differ on how solid the process was (most notably, whether attempting to use Detect Thoughts means there is a lack of trust, which I disagree with but this is long enough already), they did end up correctly identifying that nobody was an imposter, which means they did succeed at the challenge given to them.
Also, given that this game was really half in character and half out (as in, it was as much the players observing each other out of character as it was about the characters observing each other in character, which, you can be happy or unhappy about, I guess, but it would be weird to ignore it), I found it to be both fun to watch and about as good an outcome as could be expected.
2.
One thing I've pondered before is that BH, while made up of various flavors of ticking time bomb characters, are actually very different. Chetney's werewolf, FCG's circuitry, Laudna's relationship with Delilah, Imogen's mind-reading and Ruidus-adjacent powers, Fearne's relationship with the shard and/or Dark!Fearne, and *waves vaguely* Ashton's... all of that are all really different kinds of problems. (Orym's grief/trauma is not included, because that's just bog-ass normal human emotions, not supernatural/magical/fantastical bullshit.)
There are parallels that can be drawn between these problems, of course, and the ways in which they try to look to each other for guidance is fascinating to me (like, I think Chetney's constant advice to embrace their problems the way he embraces the wolf is incredibly inapplicable to some of the characters but it's also so understandable why he would say so, and that's delicious), but as outside readers, some care should be taken to understand all of them individually.
Further, there are obviously ways to examine each of these issues as metaphors for real human issues -- like chronic pain, anxiety/other kinds of mental illness, abusive relationships, substance abuse/addiction, etc. (side note: I mean, I thought the addiction metaphor for Delilah was way off, but Matt threw it out there, so??) -- but to be too focused on that kind of metaphorical reading is, I think, limiting, because this is... you know. D&D.
For instance, to argue that Imogen taking off the circlet is "going off her meds" or that Imogen considering giving into the Ruidus connection is self-harm is a valid reading, but Imogen's powers are NOT actually mental illness. They come with defined mechanical benefits and potential story that I assume Laura as a player trusts Matt to have devised and which presumably can be used (or at least explored) as a real weapon and strength in the overall narrative. Whether leaning into her powers will ultimately be something that hurts her or empowers her is yet to be written.
On the other hand, while obviously there are mechanical/narrative benefits to, e.g., Fearne accepting the shard, it's also perfectly valid for Fearne as a character to either a) not want that power, because she's happy with who she is today and doesn't want to become something different or b) be afraid of that power, because she hasn't grappled with how or why she would go down the path to becoming Dark!Fearne, and that's also all stuff that can be explored and written further. But that story would obviously be very different from Imogen's, since the shard is not innate to Fearne.
And I think smushing all of these nuances into "yaaaassss taking ownership of what others think is a flaw/disability and turning it into strength!" OR "wow they're all making each other worse / egging each other into more self-destructive behaviors" is just kind of... flat on both ends of the spectrum. It can be all of those things! There are different layers and lenses! I think it's a lot of fun that we get the room to make these connections and interpretations and the interplay between them!
I mean, I guess the conclusion to this weird mini essay is 1) I am having so much fun, and 2) I don't think think any of them are in an incredibly dire place as of the end of e80. I mean, Laudna's not doing great, so I'd like to see them deal with that! but also, it could be so much worse! I'm cautiously optimistic! And Fearne should probably talk about her feelings on the shard, but she seems pretty excited about it, you know?

Sure enough, that information was also in the book, and it did go a long way in showing that his family didn't view Vassago as a threat. "That would explain how the summoning spells were similar enough for me to get the wrong being. Although to be fair, I don't have much experience with 'Patron Demons', you'd be the first I met." Matt wasn't surprised that Vassago saw what he was doing, the witch hadn't exactly been subtle about it. But as his cards began to be read, Matt started flipping pages in the Book to see how he could send the handsome demon home. "Why are you so interested in us? You want dirt on Raziel?" Crossing his arms, Matt shook his head. "If it was just mine, then maybe, but I'm not about to give you something on him. Looks only get you so far."
Still, Vassago continued to read, and while Matt was still trying to figure out how to stop him, and explosion of power nearly knocked him back. Raziel was suddenly standing in front of him, wings unfurled and in his "Wrath of Heaven mode" as Matt called it. "Razzie! It's alright!"
Tumblr media
Vassago chuckled. "It'd be rude to physically touch your Grimoire without asking, but if you'd prefer it, I can. You know, though many regard Raziel as the Patron Archangel of Witches, there are those that consider me the Patron Demon of witches. Two sides to the same coin, I suppose." The cards moved faster around him as Matthew dodged the question, Vassago noting that he was deflecting with humor. "You may not be lying, but you are avoiding the question." One card slowed and floated to hover at Matt's eye level. Two of Cups. "You've formed a relationship with him. What kind?" A grin spread across his face. "As much as I would like that, I think you should tell me anyways. Not often I get this kind of information. A secret from a Halliwell and information on my enemy. Two birds, three cards. Shall I draw the second, or will you be a good boy and tell me?" That was when the walls of the manor began to shake.
Tumblr media
Raziel had felt a twinge in his chest as he had been searching a cave on Mount Everest, used as a vault by Heaven. He had simply wanted to do an inventory, something to busy his mind. The twinge told him that Matt was in trouble. Someone was there. A presence in the manor. A Demon. One that was powerful. With a snarl, he vanished and rematerialized in the attic of the Halliwell Manor, all six wings unfurled and shining a blazing rainbow light. "ENOUGH!"

Unprompted positivity: I don't rp with Nadia, but I love reading your threads with @malka-lisitsa and @baby-royalty especially. You play this big emotionally complex woman without reducing her in any way. I've seen a few Nadias around and they seem to focus on all the wrong things - Nadia is a grown ass woman who has an entire lifetime under her belt. She has her own motivations and loyalties that she has to navigate while also getting a chance to know her mother (and her oc half sister). She's older than Katherine in more ways than one and it's so interesting to see how that plays out in your interactions.
Anyways, I was thinking about her today and wanted to share how much I enjoy having you on my dash
Tumblr media
coming online and seeing some unexpected positivity in my inbox is really a great thing to witness 🥰
first of all, let me know if you're ever interested in writing with my nadia. ♥
i don't remember when i made my first nadia blog on here (i deleted the first one but i find posts under the tag in the tumble search dated back to 2014) because i pretty much fell in love with nadia since she was introduced (and tvd s5 introduced many great side-characters). i remember that many people were angry/disappointed that katherine's daughter was introduced and that she was physically older and not innocent/cute whatever. it's actually a shame that many people change her fc and switch it to someone younger with softer features. i, however, think it's awesome that nadia is the way she is. she's a badass, independent woman who certainly doesn't have to hide behind the name / her connection to 'katherine pierce' to get what she wants. she is her own woman. she's sneaky and can be manipulative and will manhandle the shit out of you to reach her goals. she freakin stole from an original vampire just to get closer to her goal. it's interesting to see how she developed independently into a person similar to katherine pierce without even meeting her for the majority of a lifetime (the genes are strong xD). and apart from being a vampire, she's also incredibly crafty. one of the only vampires shown to know how to handle a gun. extensive knowledge of traveler magic. not afraid to evade an immortal who was after her own goal. but at the same time, she also has a soft heart, especially when it comes to her mother. and although she also used matt, i like to think that she did care about him (hence why matt also cared about her and made sure she got a decent burial).
nadia feels regarding her oc half-sister (@baby-royalty) a lot of jealousy which she cannot entirely shake because nadia sees that she and katherine have a mother-daugther connection that nadia will never have with katherine. somehow lizzy and nadia remind me of barbenheimer. do you know these edits that were made with one pink and one dark side? lizzy is the pink side and nadia is the dark side. 😅
also major thanks to @malka-lisitsa for being interested in writing with my nadia. not every katherine is automatically looking for a nadia / wanting a nadia for interactions. we had and have many interesting threads, banters, and more that also helped me develop nadia even more. ♥

I've been watching The Vampire Diaries lately as a show to kinda relax to without needing full attention and:
Kinda ship Bonnie/Caroline unfortunately I doubt this show has lesbians (but buffy had willow/Tara in the 90s so I wish this 2000s drama does -.-; I'll see I guess)
Kinda enjoy Tyler and Jeremy's scenes post 1x10 which I'm surprised by cause before I'd been rooting for Tyler to die
Damon/Elena are eons more interesting to me as a dynamic in that their scenes together have less predictability and more interesting outcomes (I get why elena/Stefan is a thing, they're both book loving reading nerds who like to talk about that stuff for hours and write diaries and spend quiet nights kissing/sleeping together and chatting about stuff they fan over basically - without the vampire old issue/Katherine ex situation they'd basically be a normal couple with shared interests, but like... as tv entertainment that's just not as fun to watch as ppl who do not get along and slowly need to learn to understand/interact. It's like angel/buffy versus spike/buffy or faith/buffy I suppose. Except I do appreciate stefan/Elena actually fight over "yr a vampire damn! People are dying I need to get AWAY this is fucked" and "I look like your dead ex what rhe fuck is wrong with you/any other secrets??!!!" Because like while it's still teen romance show level "I love you" ridiculously fast and unrealistically with a yikes vampire usual age gap lol, at least Elena's and stefans reactions seem somewhat more like real people would actually do? Whereas like... idk I usually see a much less realistic reaction of "wow people are dying I need to get away from you and reevaluate my view of the world goddamn".)
Bonnie makes me feel like I'm watching Charmed
Watching vampire stuff I'm glad there's a lot of death in this cause what even is a vampire story without people getting their blood drank? Also this show reminds me I've got my own vampire story I eventually want to write ToT but mines more itwv level bloody than teen angst. That said, i appreciate the slightly outside of high school elements of the show which remind me of charmed or buffy and give the impression this show CAN grow beyond a high school setting as the plot ages out of it, like buffy did, which gives it space to possibly do some cool stuff later on (that say a show like teen wolf bound inside teen-life couldn't really move to)
Thank goodness the show has some horror scenes and fights I really Can't focus without my action scenes lol
Like buffy (tho idk How better the writing will get) I can tell that around mid season 1 the writing shifted from Teen Show Pilot usual to having a more solid idea of the angle it wanted to go in. Caroline went from a "could be any teen extra" to a character with a clear personality, Bonnie went from only magic-show-plot element to someone who's friendships and enemies in the show matters, Matt and Jeremy as plain humans get a more defined characterization driven by their internal values more than only what's happening to them externally, Elena once she finds out vampires exists her character acts much more idk Likable to me? She's an everyday girl stand in, but with the knowledge of vampires her personal bg as someone fucked up by tragedies in the family and feeling death is inescapable to her (vampires all around and looking like a dead ex katherine), her desire to not see anyone else die and personally try to help stop vampires who are hurting people in town (despite being very mundanely human) gives her a solid backbone of who she is when put in a hard position. I liked her trying to fight a vampire alone with pencils and a broken broom - she doesn't succeed as she's a completely untrained and regular strength human but it shows she's got future potential and a trajectory, her trying to stop vampires from killing, her willing to go into danger, her willing to confront anyone, etc. She's showing some interesting traits specific to her that not every character Would do. Even Stefan with as little as I'm personally clicking with him, is making lets say Relationship choices that are distinct from Edward type or Angel type or Spike type or Lestat lol, so at least he's feeling like His Own individual character in a vampire story instead of a copy of someone else. He communicates eons better than Edward, saying he'll leave before leaving for someone's safety lol, and just in general open to conversations when conflicts come up more, he's mopey sure but not to the level of emo Angel from buffy is (and not quite as creepy tho he also stalked for a year lmao) and Lexi coming into town showed he's really not Endlessly pessimistic the way Louis or Angel would be. He's got a distinction versus other leading romance vamps, and although his dynamic doesn't have the enemies/rivals to friends to lovers I enjoy in watching a romance (bellamy/Clarke, lexa/Clarke, lucifer/Chloe, spike/buffy, louis/lestat etc) I do like that he feels like his own character to me. So I'm hoping like buffy the depth of characterization gets a bit better as time goes on for everyone. And the plot expands past high school as characters age up.
Damon and Stefan remind me of Dean and Sam. Yeah I know what I said ToT if supernatural went on 150 years and they turned into demons or vampires or whatever, both fell for the same girl, who's to say what coulda happened. All IM saying now is a crossover when they'd both been airing would've been hilarious.

[M4F] ⚠️ESOTERIC STUFF AHEAD⚠️
... Let's try something different, shall we?
Aren't you tired of bland roleplays that only consist of one liners? Or extensive paragraphs of nothing filled with endless descriptions as if it was a school book? Do you want to play a real story and not just two characters fricking each other but also develop an interesting relationship? If so, you're in luck!
Why choosing between a plot-based rp and a smut-based one when it can have plenty of both?
Creative spurts come out of nowhere, and apparently the one I had came in the form of a longing for a literate roleplay with ample room for character interaction, dialogue and often some buildup before things go lewd. That kind of story that makes you invested in fictional characters, and constantly makes you want to see where the story will go. Those fascinating tales that back then always filled my head of daydreams and characters... Years of d&d tend to have this effect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
if you get what I'm talking about, you'll be a perfect partner!
Enemies to lovers, an unlikely friendship, rivals... Every kind of character dynamic is accepted no matte how tropey. As long as it'll make for an engaging story, I'll call that a wonderful experience! After all, geeking about shared interests is half the fun ^^
As for the spicy stuff, when I said esoteric, I really meant it, as there are so many ideas that it's different to list them all... Plus hypnosis, for which I'm paritucularly fond of. So, if you're willing to play a witch, succubus, spirit, human, thief, kitsune or any character in posses of entrancing abilities of any kind, or simply a seduction so strong to render one helpless, consider this offer! A myriad of methods are allowed, from an intoxicating perfume, the use of voice and whispers to soothe and subdue the mind, a magic kiss that drains energy, a hypnotic powder blown in the face... Your imagination is the only limit!
Apart from that, if you want an even weirder one, long hair have always been a fascination for me: the best example I can come up with would have the use of long, silken tresses being elegantly tossed someone's face, smothering it with their silken locks and perfume... or even use it as a whip to constantly slap it and alternate between pleasure and pain, if you're more on the sadistic side. Tying it in a braid or a ponytail in order to use it as a pendulum or the aforementioned whip would be equally interesting
I told you it would have been odd :)
That said, I have a LOT of other kinks that can complement those mentioned or simply offer an alternative if nothing of what I've said picks your interest. Plus, there's an ample selection of characters that I'm available to play, each with their respective info sheet containing backstory, personality and whatnot. So, for a complete picture of all the possibilities, feel free to ask!
⚠️ One last thing that might be important to know is that I'm TERRIBLE at playing dominant roles, even though by now you probably already got that
What else to say? If you too want a story to remember, and want to venture in a world of narrative, intrigue and that sweet, sweet sexual tension, hit either the chat or pms~✨
"𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝..."

“I’m actually completely fine with that because the thought of you with magic is absolutely terrifying. Like oh my gods, no. Just no. I would rather risk the timestream by going back in time and getting you bit again than give you magic. Absolutely not. Nope, I’d bind your powers myself. Fuck no, I already have a headache just thinking about it. No magic for Peter, sorry.”
Tumblr media
Peter1- Hypothetical: you've lost your Spidey powers but you have the opportunity to either: get a power suit like Tony, use magic like Dr. Strange, or become a buff strongman like Steve... which do you choose and why?
“We’ll I’m not the biggest fan of magic (sorry Mattie) at least for a power system I’d want. Id lean more towards Steve powers because I can already make the suit better than Tony so… I’d get the best of both those.”
