'Have we let y/n y/ln get away with way too much?'
By Alan Gomez
Yes folks, it might be our own fault, we have created a monster in the form y/n y/ln. Mediocre actress at best and with an even worse personality, if the latest events are any indication.
But how could we let this happen? Come on, we're smarter than this!
The thing is, y/n brainwashed us into believing that her doe-eyed, no-brain characters were actually her. Don't beat yourselves up over this too much, even I was a victim of those pretty eyes. But now that the blindfold has fallen, we have come to realize we have let y/n get away with everything!
You might know y/n from Supercut, the romantic comedy that took the world by storm in 2019, where she starred alongside Aidan Kim and it lead to these two becoming one of the general public’s most cherished couples. At least until two months ago, when their breakup was announced via Inside Out. Although there haven’t been any official statements, given the circumstances, we believe it was the actress who broke it off with Kim.
RELATED:
→ Aidan Kim and friends at Cannes Film Festival
→ Y/N supports alleged boyfriend at charity football match
But whether she’s dating a new guy now or not, why do we keep letting her do whatever she wants?
How did she actually brainwash us into thinking she’s anything close to an “it girl”? After Supercut, all she’s done is the absolute bare minimum to keep people talking about her, it’s all RomComs and no effort. I didn’t want to be that person, and you have to believe me on this, but Aidan Kim made her.
Let’s remember Aidan built his career from the ground as a member of Star-5 the early 2010’s boyband that split in 2018. He was the ‘someone’ in the relationship. How can people even compare having the hit song “Round and Round” in your résumé to being in Scream (Netflix) and The Mist (again, Netflix)?
Aidan made us like her and the writers of Parisian Valentine, The Hating Game and Last Night In Love, did her a HUGE favor by consolidating her as the “Queen of RomComs” by what standard? Well, don’t ask me.
The truth is, we accepted y/n into our hearts and homes, thanks to Aidan Kim and an unbelievable amount of luck, and we haven’t held her accountable for anything ever.
Here’s what I’m talking about, if you’re still wondering what the point of this article is, click on every link to be taken to the whole context, you’ll thank me later:
❍Y/N yells at paparazzi to leave her alone as she walks around Beverly Hills with Victoria Presley.
❍ Y/N praises Taylor Swift while tearing down several male artists for writing songs about their personal experiences.
❍ Y/N says in interview with ELLE that not every movie has to be “profound”.
And just for fun:
❍ A collection of Y/N’s disastrous looks.
It’s time we realize y/n y/ln is talentless, has a horrible personality and feigns innocence she certainly doesn’t have. You will NOT continue to take advantage of us, y/n! It’s all over for you, so I’m glad you’re dropping your pathetic career to become a WAG. #Y/NIsOverParty.
↺ FROM ❛WE WATCH❜ PODCAST
Paul Byrnes: Can y/n really do another role now, after all she’s known for are romantic comedies?
Anna Sanchez: well, I really liked her in The Mist, she did great as character in a horror it was—
Paul Byrnes: No one cares about The Mist, Anna, just you.
Anna Sanchez: all I’m saying is she’s a good actress, she can do other things. That was your question, Paul.
Paul Byrnes: Well, in my opinion she can't and that's it.
↺ FROM ❛IT TALK❜ PODCAST
Greg Zane: Let's talk y/n y/ln and her fashion choices now that she's an F1 WAG. What do we think?
Riley Green: She's a what now? How long has it been since she broke up with Aidan Kim?
Martha Vincent: I think she's looking great, I just wish she'd let go of the ugly caps.
Riley Green: No seriously, how long did she stay single?
Greg Zane: I agree Martha, but caps are big in Formula 1, nothing we can do about that. I'm wondering if she'll go for a more glamorous look in Monaco.
Riley Green: guys? hello?
Martha Vincent: Oh Riley, we're not talking about her love life, let it go.
↺ FROM ❛HOLLYWOOD VIBES❜ PODCAST
Pauline Oscar: [cont.] I'm just so curious about the reason of their breakup, why hasn't anyone said anything?! It must be juicy.
Brenda Yim: I feel like it's bad for one of them, most likely y/n. Hello, can anyone offer one of their friends some money? Just like old times!
Pauline Oscar: [laughs] Definitely! We need to know! Can it get any worse than the fact that she's already with another guy? What's his name? Charles Le what? She soooo cheated.

THE COMMENTS FOR THIS POST ARE DISABLED.
May 27th, Montecarlo, Monaco.
THERE are tears in your eyes, and despite your best efforts not to let them run down your cheeks, it's futile. The worst part is that you're the one doing this to yourself. There's zero need to read 'articles' from pseudo journalists on how a man gave you your career and how you're tossing it into the trash for another. Not to mention the cascade of curses you received for a picture on instagram, where everyone thought you were with the other man.
Has your life really come to this? People don't talk about you unless a guy is involved? You loathe it. Your career was never about Aidan, and it's not about Charles now. Who only makes things worse every time he shows up and yet you can't manage to bring it up to him.
It's embarrassing. You don't want to walk up to him during whatever free time he has in a hectic weekend, and ask him if it really doesn't annoy him everything the press has made up about the two of you, or if he's really that unbothered by being paired up with you in the wildest scenarios, and tell him that he can shut them down whenever he feels like it (you wish he would already), and let him know you won't mind whatever he says about not being involved with you.
But no, Mr. Leclerc is busy giving unclear answers at interviews and liking your instagram posts, as if this isn't already a wildfire.
You put down your phone and pick it back up almost immediately, Vic's ringtone fills your hotel room and you wipe away your tears before answering her FaceTime request.
"Were you crying?" it's the first thing she says, moving her sunglasses to the top of her head. There's a lot of noise in the background and you can barely make the words out, but she comes so close to the phone that all you can see is the tip of her nose. "Why were you crying?"
"It's nothing, Vic. What's up?" you sigh, rubbing your eyes only makes things worse but you don't want to worry about that now.
"I just got to Monaco, babe," the phone is at a safe distance from her nostrils again and you can see around her, the airport where you landed a few days ago. "I'm with my parents," she rolls her eyes, lowering her voice. "But if you could get me into the Ferrari Suite I can hang out with you tomorrow!"
They allowed you one guest and the spot has already been taken by Mati, so there really isn't much you can do in terms of getting her into the Ferrari Suite. "Well, let me see what I can do, okay?"
"Okay," she sounds unsure, you know Vic enough to be sure she expected a different answer. "I mean my parents have Lounge privileges but it's more fun to be with you."
Had she said something about coming to Monaco you might have been able to do something, but as far as you were concerned she planned to stay in France all week, enjoying Cannes and mingling.
"I'll do my best Vic, but you know how they are," you exhale heavily, "Plus it's a crazy-ass weekend."
"Isn't it always?" she's yawning now, "We can meet for dinner later and you can tell me what's up alright? Being with my parents is so boring."
You shake your head, "Be nice, they just want to hang out with you. I'll call you after Quali," you check the clock on top of the nightstand, it's 10 am. You have to get ready for FP3, which you don't care about attending or not but Stuart Schaffer asked to see you, so you haven't got much of a choice.
"Sure babes, love you." Vic pulls her sunglasses down again and blows a kiss to the screen.
"Love you too," it's your turn to yawn as you tap the hang up button.
You look at the special edition Ferrari cap you received as a gift yesterday on top of your suitcase and immediately discard the idea of wearing it. No caps. And then the wave of disgust invades you, are you seriously going to do what some random man said on a podcast you came across by accident?
The answer is yes, unfortunately.
─────────
You would rip your leg off if you could, at least it would mean you’d be able to get out of this chair and away from Stuart. But his palm resting on top of your knee feels like a death grip and you’re frankly afraid to move in case it goes further up.
Mati decided to skip FP3 and you’re really hoping she’ll be on time for Quali because you have no one else to talk to, Stuart is just parading you around again and keeping you way too close for comfort because he’s in a great mood since both Ferraris maintained their top spots and things are looking hopeful for Qualifying.
You know it’s your chance to ask if you can bring Victoria around tomorrow, and you know the answer will be yes, but you don’t. You don’t want to ask things from this man, he’s the type to never forget a debt.
You barely catch a glimpse of Carlos and Charles as they walk by on the way to their debrief and Charles waves at you quickly, with a single-dimpled smile. He’s wearing the same cap you refused to put on.
“I’m going to call my friend,” you blurt out once Charles is out of sight, finally moving your leg back to make Stuart’s hand drop. “She had the worst hangover, I have to check up on her.”
“Oh, you girls get wild in Monaco,” Stuart cackles as you sprint away from him, actually resisting the urge to wipe your knee clean.
"Hey y/n!" Mati's voice can barely be heard above the EDM playing wherever she is. "What's up?"
"Where are you?" you whine, looking back inside the Suite. "Help."
"What's wrong?" you picture her frowning as she tries to walk away from the noise helplessly.
You feel guilty for worrying her so you sigh. "Nothing, I just hate being here. Are you coming here for Qualifying?"
"Yep," she pops the 'p' and laughs. "Listen, why don't we have lunch here at the yacht and then go back for Quali?"
"Yes!" once again you look over your shoulder to where the Elix men are laughing at their own jokes and patting each other's backs. “I’m on my way, okay?”
“I’ll be right here, also don’t scare me like that again, please.”
“Sorry,” you chuckle, embarrassed. Maybe you’re a bit dramatic at times, but it’s really all good-natured. “See you in a minute.”
You turn to the door of the Suite, giving a short jump back when you open it at the same time as someone else.
“Oh, god,” you sigh, stepping inside as Charles moves out of the way to let you in. “Thanks.”
“Sorry I scared you,” he smiles, closing the door again once you’re fully in. Charles is once again holding a closed Elix can, tapping his fingers on the side.
You eye it suspiciously, wondering if the thing has really grown on him. After all, one of the first things he told you was how much it disgusted him.
“It’s alright. I thought you were in your debrief?” You grab a can of Elix yourself, looking good in front of the sponsors cannot hurt.
“It was a short one. Keep doing what you’re doing kind of thing,”
“Right. Well, good for both of you,” you look around for Carlos but he’s nowhere to be seen. “Would it jinx it to say ‘good luck’ for later?”
You know many sportspeople take their jinxes and rituals way seriously, and you don’t want to be the one to blame if something goes wrong for the local star.
Charles considers this for a second and then shakes his head no. “Wish me luck,” he smiles.
“Good luck, Charles.” You beam back at him, enjoying—despite yourself—the way his eyes burn into yours.
─────────
You’re back at the Suite with Mati 10 minutes before Qualifying starts. The tension that had seeped out of your body in the form of laughter and loud singing with Mati is already making its way back to your back and jaw. You’re not ready to be around the Elix people again, but you must. However, first, you make Matilde promise she won’t leave your side.
Stuart Schaffer is already patting the empty seat next to him when you make your way through the refreshment tables. You smile at him, a muscle in your cheek falters as you walk past him on your way to the balcony, to catch both Ferraris leaving the garage.
“Oh don’t drink that,” you whisper when you see Mati walk your way, two cans of Gold Elix in her hands. “Don’t.”
Matilde snorts, “You’re literally the ambassador of this thing, and you don’t like it?”
“SHHH!”
“Fine, but those guys are looking at us so we have to at least sip it.”
You groan, opening the one she offers you and then taking a huge gulp. “Yum,” you mock.
Mati laughs again before her face goes sour with the taste. “Oh my God,”
“Warned you,” yet you take another sip. You think that if it grew on Charles it might grow on you, but you don’t really see it happening.
Q1 and Q2 go by smoothly, at least for Ferrari and you’re on the edge of your seat for Q3. This is the race you’ve been more excited for, but it’s not like you’ve attended many others. Still, Monaco just hits different.
The end of Q3 almost gives you a heart attack, although you also blame your almost empty Elix. You didn’t even notice how much you drank, but the thing that really gets your heart jumping out of your chest is Victoria’s ringtone.
Begrudgingly, you turn away from the track. She has texted you a thousand times, without exaggerating, since Quali started and you know it’s because she’s bored out of her mind at the Lounge with her parents. But you’re starting to find this genuinely entertaining and you are bothered by the distraction.
“I told you I’d call you after Quali, Vic,” you singsong, looking up at the screens inside the Suite.
“Well Quali is almost over, no one cares about the last three minutes.”
You do, Max Verstappen is in first place, then Charles and Checo in P3. You’re crossing your fingers for Charles to manage to get above both Red Bulls. And for Carlos to squeeze in there too.
You don’t say anything else, too enthralled by the battle on the screen.
“Y/n?” Vic raises her voice, “Are you listening to me?”
“Yes Vic, what is it?”
“We’re going to be at Ferrari together tomorrow, right?”
You wince, glad she chose a phone call instead of FaceTime this time around. You haven’t asked and you don’t intend to. Vic still has VIP Lounge access, she’ll be fine.
“They said no, Vic.” You lie, your eyes scanning the screen, it’s the last lap before they get the checkered flag out. “I’m sorry.”
“What? Why? Did you tell them I can give them publicity? I have one million followers!”
“Monaco is different from Miami,” you explain gently, “But you’ll still be at the VIP, you have a great view.”
“Yeah, whatever,” she’s beyond annoyed now, as it happens every time things don’t go her way. You can’t blame her, but you also think it will be good for her to spend some time with her parents, whom she refuses to visit although they live in Malibu and pay her mortgage. “We’re still up for dinner though, right?”
“Yep! I’ll meet you at your hotel.”
“Okay see you then, babes.”
By the time your eyes return to the screen, Charles is in P1, Carlos in P3 and the Ferrari Suite is exploding in cheers.
YOU’RE up painfully early the next day. Vic and you went back to your respective hotel way past three am and you’re exhausted, but at least you had enough self-control to avoid today’s hangover.
Nevertheless, the morning goes by in a blur between breakfast with Elix people, calls with Mildred and Walter, your manager, and two casting agents that tell you that no, you don’t need to go for an in-person casting, you’re not getting the role.
By the time you get to the Suite you have a headache and the knot on your throat is progressively getting harder to swallow. You only make things worse by rage-reading tweets with your #IsOver hashtag.
People claim, with more force every day, that Aidan gave you everything and you are starting to regret ever meeting him.
You have worked your ass off for years, taking on small roles, commercials, stock-photo deals. Learning scripts and going to castings and taking classes, you have been criticized and rejected for more things than just “not fitting the role”.
You have given everything you are and everything you have, and people assure what you got in return you owe it all to some man.
“Hola y/n!” Carlos is the first one to get back to the Suite and you wish he would rub off some of his good mood on you. “How are you today?”
“Hi Carlos, I’m alright and you?”
“You definitely look it,” he says, semi-sarcastically. “Something on your mind?”
The knot is back in your throat so you shake your head no. “And yours?”
“Nada de nada.” he smiles. You’re still growing on each other, but this is the most comfortable you’ve been while sharing the same space.
Charles arrives while Carlos, Mati (who is hungover from her party at the yachts) and you are comparing workout playlists. Wearing what now seems to be like his comfort cap, and a pair of ugly ripped jeans, he smiles brightly at the three of you.
You’re happy to see both Ferrari boys so smiley after the past couple races. Miami especially. And you hope they’ll do well; but you’re particularly scared for Charles, and whatever it is that made him unlucky in his hometown, you don’t want this day to end on a sour note.
You spend about an hour talking to them about anything, your movies, their races, Mati's tour with Romeo and Juliet. Music, hobbies and quirks, Charles and Carlos have an opinion on everything and they are actually quite fun to be around. Then, a Ferrari Team member comes to get them for the Drivers Parade so you wave them goodbye, wishing them a smooth race.
"You're not going to wish me luck, y/n?" Charles asks, the smirk on his face is one you identify as mischievous, and it makes a small wave of anxiety run down your back.
Mati stops the bottle of water halfway through her mouth to ogle at the two of you, and the palpable tension that has installed itself in the space.
"Good luck, Charles," the smile you return falters in one corner, but Charles doesn't seem to mind as he adjusts his cap and says thank you before leaving behind Carlos.
Mati has forgotten about her need to hydrate and is staring at you with both eyebrows raised. "I thought you were not doing that?" she gestures with her head towards the door through which both drivers vanished.
"I'm not doing anything," you reply, defensively. "He's being—"
"y/n, you could cut the tension there for a minute," Mati finally takes a swig of water and you wait for her to continue talking. "Like I said, I don't recommend it but... you're free to do whatever you want." she isn't unkind while wording that last part, but it still stings you with annoyance.
"Thanks, Mati." you bite the inside of your cheek, leaning back into the sofa.
─────────
The Ferrari Suite explodes in cheers once the checkered flag is out. After a frankly insane race with rain, crashes and too-long pit stops, both Ferraris have crossed the finish line, and most importantly Charles has finally managed to get rid of his Monaco curse. His enlarged picture appears on every screen with P1 right in the middle. Carlos is P4, but the points are extremely important in the long run, so people celebrate nevertheless.
Before you know it, Mati and you are being dragged down to the track for the podium celebrations. You're buzzing with excitement, holding Matilde's hand as you run to one side, where the mechanics can't crush you as they jump up and down.
Even above the general screams of happiness, you can hear talks of 'Charles deserves this so much', 'It was about time' and 'His hard work is finally paying off at home'.
At least someone's blood, sweat and tears are valued.
YOU are probably not living down the Charles dating allegations this weekend. Which is not your fault, honestly, had they enlarged the picture, it would have shown Mati just as excited for Ferrari as you were. She's Italian, and she bleeds for Ferrari.
But right now, surprisingly, you're not overwhelmed with whatever it is they're saying on Twitter. Although it took Mati snatching your phone away and tossing it in her own purse before sitting you down to retouch your makeup for the celebration party.
Victoria is joining you too, because a 'the more the merrier' applies to any sort of party happening in a Monaco club, especially if it is for the unofficial prince.
It is the first time in three months you let go of your worries, even if it is for the shortest amount of time as you dance with Victoria and Mati and drink anything you please and whoop every time the DJ mentions Charles and Carlos.
You're happy to be with your friends, away from Elix and celebrating two people who can become something more than coworkers to you. Although through the night you see them on a few occasions, Carlos waves at you as he passes by a few times only stopping in the third time to let you congratulate him with a quick hug that's more of a shoulder squeeze than anything.
Charles is obviously harder to approach, and to be fair, it's not like you're even trying. He's surrounded by his hometown friends and by anyone who wants to have his attention for a minute, for a picture or a dance or to buy him a drink.
It's past three am when Victoria is beyond buzzed and you're starting to feel exhausted so you decide it's time to leave. Mati has found someone to take home so she's been gone for around forty minutes, minding her business.
"Come on, let's go," you are grabbing Victoria by the wrist as her ankle twists. "We've both had enough," you laugh, Victoria joins your laughter as you snake through the crowd of people pumping fists in the air, some of them point and wave at you and you smile back at them politely.
You hear your name being passed around a few times, but you focus on finding the exit while keeping Victoria by your side, who has started to whine about not wanting to leave.
Once you break into the outside, you take a breath of fresh air, the coolness makes your skin rise in goosebumps and you shiver, letting go of Victoria to lift the hair on the back of your neck.
"It's too early!" Victoria complains once again, her eyes are glassy and she's just as sweaty.
"It's not, plus you're drunk, we should leave," your ears still feel drowned in the sound of music. “My feet are killing me.”
The exit opens again, and a couple stumbles out laughing and they tell Vic and you goodbye in drunken French. Before the door shuts again, Charles is out on the street too.
"I heard you were leaving," he says in what you're sure it's a too loud voice. But your ears have barely stopped ringing, so you can't blame him. "Are you two okay?" he eyes Victoria, who is starting to lean down on her knees to soothe her dizziness.
"Oh we're alright, we've just partied enough," you smile at him. Charles is rosy, bright-eyed and sweaty. Is it corny to describe someone as painfully handsome?
"I didn't get to congratulate you," you add, trying to keep your attention on Charles while being aware that Victoria might start retching at any given moment. "You did amazing."
Victoria straightens immediately, her glassy stare focusing on Charles. "You're such a good driver, Charles, for real."
"Thank you," Charles nods awkwardly a few times as Victoria pokes him with her left index finger. "And thank you y/n."
"Come on, Vic," you chuckle, keeping her hand away from Charles. "Seriously though, I'm happy for you."
Charles smiles again, running a hand through his hair. "Thank you, really. I'm sorry I didn't see you earlier," he points behind him, to the club.
"It's your party, you can't be everywhere,"
Vic is yawning loudly, and you roll your eyes, amused. "We better get going."
"y/n, when are you flying to Spain?" Charles blurts out, the moment you turn to lead Vic down the street.
"I'm not sure, Wednesday probably?"
"You know, I can still show you a place or two in Monaco. If you want." He sinks his left hand in the front pocket of his dark jeans, and you wonder where the mischievous aura from what seems like ages ago went.
You pause, letting Vic put her whole weight on your shoulder as she finally gives up to the exhaustion. "Um well..."
The same tension that appeared at the Ferrari Suite is back, and the more you hesitate, the thicker it becomes.
Victoria pulls you down with her as she throws her head back, yawning again. Charles is just in time to hold you back up, his other arm pulling Vic back to a standing position.
"Only if you want," he says, he is far too close now and you can smell the mix of alcohol and cologne on him.
And maybe it's the alcohol in your own system, and you'll regret this once you sober up and realize that you told Matilde several times this is exactly what you were not going to do, but you say yes.

The Hollow Kingdom Trilogy by Clare B. Dunkle (2003-2005)
For thousands of years, young women have been vanishing from Hallow Hill, never to be seen again. Now Kate and Emily have moved there with no idea of the land's dreadful heritage--until Marak decides to tell them himself. Marak is a powerful magician who claims to be the goblin king, and he has very specific plans for the two new girls who have trespassed into his kingdom . . .
Healer and Seer by Victoria Henley (2000-2004)
Legend states that there exists a mighty sword that makes its possessor invincible to his enemies. But there is a curse on anyone who lifts the sword for conquest. King Kareed of Archeld goes after this sword anyway, winning it from the King of Bellandra. When he returns home from battle, he brings his daughter, Princess Torina, two special gifts. One is a unique crystal, in which she can view visions of the future. The other gift is the defeated king’s son Landen, who is to be her slave. Torina immediately releases Landen, who becomes a member of the King’s army and her close friend.
But trouble is lurking in the kingdom of Archeld and people are accusing Landen of plotting against the King. Torina refuses to believe he would hurt her family. Then Torina begins seeing deadly visions in her crystal. Can she save her father’s life and the future of her kingdom?
Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones (1985)
Polly has two sets of memories...
One is normal: school, home, friends. The other, stranger memories begin nine years ago, when she was ten and gate-crashed an odd funeral in the mansion near her grandmother's house. Polly's just beginning to recall the sometimes marvelous, sometimes frightening adventures she embarked on with Tom Lynn after that. And then she did something terrible, and everything changed.
But what did she do? Why can't she remember? Polly must uncover the secret, or her true love — and perhaps Polly herself — will be lost.
The Medoran Chronicles by Lynette Noni (2015-2019)
Dreading her first day at a new school, Alex is stunned when she walks through a doorway and finds herself stranded in Medora, a fantasy world full of impossibilities. Desperate to return home, she learns that only a man named Professor Marselle can help her... but he's missing.
While waiting for him to reappear, Alex attends Akarnae Academy, Medora's boarding school for teenagers with extraordinary gifts. She soon starts to enjoy her bizarre new world and the friends who embrace her as one of their own, but strange things are happening at Akarnae, and Alex can't ignore her fear that something unexpected... something sinister... is looming.
An unwilling pawn in a deadly game, Alex's shoulders bear the crushing weight of an entire race's survival. Only she can save the Medorans, but what if doing so prevents her from ever returning home?
The Girl With Silver Eyes by Willo Davis Roberts (1980)
Everyone knows that Katie is different. The first thing people notice about her are her shiny silver eyes, but even they are not her most unique feature. If they paid a bit more attention, they might see that, as well as being very clever, she attracts strange activity. She can move her glasses back up her nose without touching them and freak weather seems to follow her around. However, when Katie moves to a new neighbourhood, she begins to realise that she might not be the only one who has the ability to do unbelievable things. Join Katie as she struggles to learn more about her place in two very different worlds. A magical story about a magical girl, with powers almost as sharp as her sensational silver eyes.
The Song of Albion by Stephen R. Lawhead (1991-1991)
From the dreaming spires of Oxford, Lewis Gillies drives north to seek a mythical creature in a misty glen in Scotland. Expecting little more than a weekend diversion, Lewis finds himself in a mystical place where two worlds meet, in the time-between-times--and in the heart of a battle between good and evil. The ancient Celts admitted no separation between this world and the Otherworld: the two were delicately interwoven, each dependent on the other. The Paradise War crosses the thin places between this world and that, as Lewis Gillies comes face-to-face with an ancient mystery--and a cosmic catastrophe in the making.
The World of Riverside by Ellen Kushner (1987-2002)
On the treacherous streets of Riverside, a man lives and dies by the sword. Even the nobles on the Hill turn to duels to settle their disputes. Within this elite, dangerous world, Richard St. Vier is the undisputed master, as skilled as he is ruthless—until a death by the sword is met with outrage instead of awe, and the city discovers that the line between hero and villain can be altered in the blink of an eye.
The Tarot Sequence by K. D. Edwards (2018-present)
Rune Saint John, last child of the fallen Sun Court, is hired to search for Lady Judgment's missing son, Addam, on New Atlantis, the island city where the Atlanteans moved after ordinary humans destroyed their original home.
With his companion and bodyguard, Brand, he questions Addam's relatives and business contacts through the highest ranks of the nobles of New Atlantis. But as they investigate, they uncover more than a missing man: a legendary creature connected to the secret of the massacre of Rune's Court.
In looking for Addam, can Rune find the truth behind his family's death and the torments of his past?
Bardic Voices by Mercedes Lackey (1992-1997)
With the proper schooling young Rune would be one of the greatest bards her world has ever seen. Even if only she knows it. Unfortunately, the daughter of a tavern wench at the Hungry Bear, no matter how talented, doesn't get much in the way of formal training. What she does get is frustrated.
One night, to back up a brag she probably wouldn't have made if she weren't so mad, she went up to play her fiddle for the Ghost of Skull Hill. Everyone knows that no one who has ever gone up Skull Hill has come down again. Not alive, anyway.
But when the ghost appears Rune Strikes a bargain: if the ghost tires of her playing before morning her life is his; if he is still listening when the sun glints over yonder hill she will have earned both life and a sack of silver. Let the music begin...
The Squire's Tales by Gerald Morris (1998-2010)
Life for the young orphan Terence has been peaceful, living with Trevisant, the old Hermit in a quiet, isolated wood.
That is, until the day a strange green sprite leads him to Gawain, King Arthur's nephew, who is on his way to Camelot hoping to be knighted. Trevisant can see the future and knows that Terence must leave to serve as Gawain's squire. From that moment on, Terence's life is filled with heart-stopping adventure as he helps damsels-in-distress, fights battles with devious men, and protects King Arthur from his many enemies.
Along the way, Terence is amazed at his skills and new-found magical abilities. Were these a gift from his unknown parents? As Gawain continues his quest for knighthood, Terence searches for answers to the riddles in his own past.

... elaborate on allison argent. and her legacy. go crazy lemme hear it
omg i'm so glad you asked!
So basically, Allison spends season 1 ignorant about the role her family occupies and spends season 2 manipulated into being the version of herself that her family wanted to mold her into. (Mostly Gerard, but on some level, this is what Kate and Victoria were leading her to). Season 3 is where she makes a stand on who she wants to be and what the Argent name should mean. She defines a new code for her family to follow: we protect those who cannot protect themselves. She stands by her friends and fights with them because it's what she believes in. They're helping people. Allison realized her actions by the end of season 2 were wrong and spent all of 3a rectifying and course-correcting who she wanted to be. She spends 3b continuing on that track and it's clear that her path forward is going to be defining who hunters are supposed to be within the world of the supernatural.
And then she dies trying to save her best friend. All of her plans are stopped before they've really begun because Allison, as a player in the narrative, is gone.
From season 4 onward, Allison haunts the narrative in ways that would have horrified her for the most part. Regardless of the intent of the people doing this, for better or for worse, here is how Allison's name is used going forward.
Allison's favorite person growing up was her Aunt Kate, who was practically a sister to her. It can be argued that Allison was the only person who Kate truly cared about (I'm thinking of how Kate apologized for the Hale fire solely because she thought it might protect Allison). Kate uses Allison's name and death as reasons why Scott's pack deserves to be hurt. Kate specifically tells Scott he's the person who destroyed the Argents. Allison's death is used as ammunition by her loved ones to hurt other people she loved.
There's then the deadpool. Meredith cites Lydia's grief over Allison as the reason all this had to happen and now is when they need to start over. Allison's name breaks the first third of the list. Regardless of the fact that she never even met Meredith, her name is still used to fuel a bloodbath. Supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills were killed for money because of Allison's name.
Season 5 doesn't use her as much directly, but Theo still uses her to hurt Scott. This is perhaps my biggest stretch, but Theo uses Allison to make Hayden's dying in 5a worse. Theo brings up first loves and highlights the parallel of what's happening to Liam/Hayden to what happened at the end of season 3b. Theo specifically uses Allison to hurt and manipulate Scott. (Season 5 also has Scott's memories of Allison save him from the beast, but it doesn't really play into Allison's legacy more than just her friends remembering her fondly despite everything else).
It's 6b that drives home for me, her legacy being the opposite of what she wanted. Gerard still references Allison in 6b, specifically in the context of Scott. Like Kate, Gerard also cites Scott as destroying the Argents via Allison's death. Gerard then uses the fall of the Argents to recruit the town into destroying the supernatural. The Argents remain known for the war that they started and supplied weapons for. The Argents remain a family of needless cruelty and violence.
By the end of the series, everything Allison worked towards is gone. Her family's legacy is more vicious than ever, and her friends have been tortured in her name. By the end, not even her dad uses her new code. This doesn't change who Allison is in the eyes of those who knew her, but in terms of what she wanted to achieve if she lives...
#teen wolf#allison argent#also hot take after writing all that#but in terms of the show as a whole#i like allison's death for what it represents#more than any other character who left#allison haunts this fucking narrative#everything changes after 3b because the stakes are there#nobody can deny that even main characters with everything left to achieve can die

massaging or sitting in the others lap!
Sorry I took forever with this Anonstie, I wanted to do both but couldn't think of the right scenario. But we got there and I hope you like it!!
They were in the wilderness, awake early and posted up on the hunting stand in the middle of a clearing right before sunrise. Daniel was so tired, he blearily noted the majestic rising of the sun behind the mountain range to their right? Left? It didn’t matter
It was early, ass crack o'clock to be exact and Max looked too bright eyed and bushy tailed for someone who had gotten even less sleep than Daniel himself received.
They had arrived last night at the house– it was a little more than a cabin but just not as rustic. It had been in the family for years now and had been updated when Max and Victoria were kids. Daniel was always thankful for the indoor plumbing and recent addition of wifi. Max's dad, Jos, had prepped the place for them, knowing that Max would make the pilgrimage into the wilds for his birthday no matter what. It was tradition he would say.
Max had told him many times about how much fun it had been growing up and the weekend trips they would take up the mountain since his birthday was in the peak of bird hunting season. And of course, Victoria continued the tradition with Lio and Luka.
Daniel…well he didn’t hate hunting, but he thought it was a lot of effort when they could wake up later in the same cabin and go hiking to a spot in the hills at a more reasonable time.
The first flight of birds leaving their nests for food had already passed, Max had had a stellar shoot, they would have a fine lunch. Maybe dinner. Then he passed the shotgun to Daniel and (once again) taught him how to hold it and aim.
They did this every year, and every year as soon as they went back home, Daniel forgot how to shoot. Not only was it just not his sport, he simply looked forward to the massage he got from Max afterwards. So he liked his boyfriend’s hands on him, sue him.
While Vic took the boys down to the nearby stream, Max sat on a wooden bench and pulled Daniel to sit on his lap. Daniel leaned into him, clutching Max’s arms that wrapped around his camo clad belly.
“Fine shootn’ today Maxy Max.” Daniel tried to use a Texan accent when they went hunting. It started as a joke and the boys absolutely loved it.
Max smiled a crinkly faced smile, he also got a kick out of it. “Of course, I have been shooting since I was Luka’s age.”
“A fine cowboy you’d make.”
Max snorted, “always, you are silly Daniel. But yes, I can provide for my family out in the wilderness.” Max rolled his eyes obnoxiously.
“Well you know what they say, save a horse…” Daniel grinned and turned so he was sitting across Max’s legs. He threw his arms around Max’s shoulders, wincing slightly as he did, he truly never got used to the kickback of the old shotgun Max used.
“Are you sore?” Max sprung into action, pressing his thumbs softly into the tender tissue much to Daniel’s relief. “You didn’t cup it close enough, you always forget I think.” Max murmured, his focus honed in on making sure Daniel was ok.
“I’ll cup you close enough.” Daniel teased in reply, grinning at Max’s snort.
“You are doing it on purpose, maybe. Of course you don’t have to hurt yourself to get a massage, Love, I’ll gladly give you one when we get home.”
Daniel kissed Max’s forehead, brushing his hair back with his nose. “I’ll hold you to it since you insist on using that ancient thing.”
He laughed loudly at Max’s squawk of outrage, pleased when his boyfriend launched into the very familiar– and yearly– ‘rant’ about how his gun wasn’t old and he didn’t need to buy a new one and if Daniel would just listen and practice the kick wouldn’t hurt him.
Traditions indeed.

3 Missing Person's Cases from Canada
September 15, 2024
Troy Cook (Nova Scotia)
Troy Cook was born on July 16, 1978 and was 20 years old at the time of his disappearance. On June 11, 1998 around 10 am, Troy's father dropped Troy off near his apartment at 1 Victoria Street, Truro, Nova Scotia.
Around 10:30 am, a Superstore employee Sharon Tucker received a phone call from someone who claimed to be Troy. Sharon said she was certain it was Troy, but that he sounded different. The person on the phone let Sharon know he would not be in to work his evening shift that night.
Other sources state that Troy's father last saw him on June 12, 1998. It is believed that Troy made a phone call from a payphone near the Tim Horton's in Bible Hill, Truro. Troy has never been seen or heard from since.
There have also been no confirmed sightings of Troy. Troy had never mentioned leaving, and both his ID and wallet were found in his apartment. There have not been any transactions made from his bank account. Troy is not known to have had an mental illnesses or engaged in impulsive behaviour.
Troy is described as having brown eyes and black hair, standing at 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 120 lbs. The government of Nova Scotia is offering a reward of $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the disappearance of Troy Cook.
2. Shelly-Anne Bacsu (Alberta)
Shelly-Anne Bacsu was born on April 7, 1967 and was 16 years old when she went missing on May 3, 1983. On that day, Shelly-Anne had been at her boyfriend's house at Sunset Trailer Court in Hinton, Alberta after school.
Shelly-Anne called her mother at 8pm and told her she would be coming home soon. Her mother also stated that her daughter told her she would be home in 15 minutes, her friend was going to pick her up and bring her home, and asked if she could make her a pasta dish that she loved.
Around 9pm, when Shelly-Anne still hadn't arrived home, her boyfriend called her mother and asked if he could speak to Shelly-Anne. Her mother told her boyfriend that wasn't funny, but in that moment said she had a terrible feeling that something had happened.
The boyfriend told Shelly-Anne's mom that her friend ended up not being able to drive her home, so Shelly-Anne began to walk home. She was walking down Highway 16 towards her house off Highway 40.
Shelly-Anne's mother called the police, and her father and brother searched the area for her. Her mother decided to look for her by foot despite it being dark and windy out.
A witness had claimed to see Shelly-Anne walking down the highway earlier in the evening, stating she had been carrying her school books and showed no interest in hitch hiking. Muriel, Shelly-Anne's mother, stated the distance between her boyfriend's house and her house was 4 miles, but her daughter would not have tried to make that.
A few days later some of Shelly-Anne's belongings were found about 3 miles from her house. A jacket, bra, pantyhose, a student union card and a library book that had been checked out that day were found along Highway 40 near the Athabasca River.
Despite interviews, police have never arrested anyone.
The Bacsu family moved from Hinton in 1991, but continued to the search for Shelly. Muriel was frustrated and stated that after the 10 year anniversary of her daughter's disappearance, the police had not contacted her at all for 15 years.
In 2010, authorities looked at Shelly-Anne's case in relation to the Highway of Tears investigation. This investigation involves multiple women going missing along a large stretch of highway in Canada. Shelly is the only Alberta woman on the list.
Authorities have been looking at Shelly's case over the years, following up on new tips, interviews, and testing DNA samples. DNA was found at the scene that belongs to an unknown person who is considered a "person of interest" to police.
It has been 41 years since Shelly-Anne disappeared that night, and her mother, Muriel, is still hopeful for answers to her daughter's whereabouts. Shelly's father died in 2014 from cancer, and her mother would be 80 years old (the last interview I found was in 2020 when her mother was 76 years old).
Shellly-Anne was 4 feet 11 inches and weighed between 80-90 pounds at the time of her disappearance. She was reported to be wearing a burgundy velour sweater, a burgundy and grey jacket, grey sneakers, blue jeans with a stripe down the legs, a green emerald ring and opal earrings. Shelly would be 57 years old today if still alive.
Anyone with information about Shelley’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Hinton RCMP Detachment at (780) 865-2455 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. You can also submit your tip online at www.p3tips.com.
3. Andre Ernest Gauthier (New Brunswick)
Andre Gauthier was last seen around 10:15 pm near Simms Corner on the west side of Saint John, New Brunswick on September 23, 1984. He was only 17 years old. There is not much information on the case.
In 2015, a case manager for Fulton County Doe was contacted about a potential match to Andre Gauthier. The John Doe had jumped to his death from a building in Atlanta, Georgia in 1993. There was no further information on this.
If alive today, Andre would be 57-58 years old. He was described as a white male with hazel eyes, brown hair, 5 feet 8 inches tall, and 139 lbs.
Andre was last seen wearing a black and orange vest, a white and blue Alpine t-shirt, blue faded jeans/pants, brown leather jacket (oversized), a silver, aluminum, stainless steel, lighter with "Andre" engraved on the front, and "July 10, 1984, Irene + Paul" on the back, with a keychain that said "I love NY."
If you have information on Andre's case, contact one of the following:
Saint John Police Force: (506)-648-3333 Reference Case #: 84-08488
Crime Stoppers: 1-800-222-TIPS(8477) or online at https://www.canadiancrimestoppers.org/tips (you can stay anonymous)

Top 3 missed opportunities for DS - whether that's wishing a role had been cast differently, a plotline had another resolution, or an arc you wished they'd done/story they'd adapted! Please and thank you!
Sleepover asks.
1. PT Maxim and Mrs. de Winter should have been Lou and Alexandra. this is honestly the ds hill that I will die on, not that I can do anything about it. and it's not that I don't love Louis playing a smartass, wicked Jack Favell – I adore it! PT Roger is a delightful character to watch, and clearly one that Lou is getting a kick out of playing, which makes it even more fun for the audience. but. he would have been an excellent, excellent Maxim, which I base not only on his other performances in ds, but the kind of roles he was getting on the stage. as much as I like Selby, this was egregiously miscast, and frankly, I think, stupid not to put Lou in the role since they had him around. (even if they just had them switch places! Selby would have gone ham playing a part like that, pining over Lara!)
With Alexandra it's a little harder to say, well — it could have happened, since Alex had long left the show at that point and you'd really have to persuade her to come back as Vicki, but I think she might have enjoyed playing her slightly to the left. KLS does ... okay? she's the best choice out of the remaining cast (though — Nancy playing it would have been fun) but to be perfectly honest I don't think KLS does doe-eyed ingenue as well as Alexandra, she shines brightest (imo) in roles like Kitty, or Maggie when she had sharper edges. she'd have made a fucking fantastic Bea to Alexandra's Mrs. de W2. also generally I think Lou and Alex play really well with each other, they have really good stage chemistry. one of the big weaknesses of parallel time is how uncompelling the main couple is compared to everyone else, but having Lou and Alex play the de Winter's in all their shades of romance and jealousy and loneliness and horror would have been. ugh. it upsets me greatly that we didn't get this! plus. victoria winters? c'mon.
2. Continuing the theme of why couldn't we have Alexandra back :( I suppose, I do think a massive missed opportunity is a version of supernatural Vicki. for one thing, AM was eager to play that, and asked specifically to make Vicki a monster or to let her have some more exciting villainous part, and Dan refused, and she never came back, and the people weep, 60 years later. or at least I do.
there's a lot of different directions you could have gone with this, I think the obvious one is a more robust haunting after Vicki's death, which would have been a) less demanding on new-mother-Alexandra than some other variety of supernatural nonsense, and b) extremely devastating for the characters to deal with. because the character of Victoria Winters is so utterly unmoored — there are no oil portraits of her, like there is for Josette. I think we see one small headshot in Jeff's hotel room. she's another stranger to Collinsport who met only tragedy, much like Josette, and like that prophecy went when Vicki first arrived, she's finally taken her place. patron saint of outsiders. and of course she haunts Collinwood: it's the closest thing to home Vicki ever knew. and it would be horrible in the fun way to watch the household deal with that: David finding Vicki among the rotation of his ghost friends — Liz knowing she helped create another ghost of a lonely widow — Roger trying to shield his heart with his skepticism and not acknowledge the scent of lilacs in the room, or hear Vicki's voice in the wails on the cliff.
if not a ghost, then perhaps a vampire — and we already have a variation on this in an au, but I think it has the potential to tie in thematically to Vicki's relentlessly-foiled search for her parents, because being sired by a vampire is a kind of adoptive fatherhood (without Barnabas literally fathering her, which I think is probably one of the silliest semi-canon explanations). that Vicki could have a version of her wishes granted — her search for blood ties with the Collinses — but not in the way she wants. or that Vicki, who has accustomed herself (and accustomed us to seeing her) as polite, good, modest, asking for little, and rarely acknowledging her own desires outside of the social order of marriage, forced violently into hunger, a soft unobtrusive girl suddenly given sharp teeth. which I think then begs the question of what she is to the family when she is not useful and good — when she does not take care of them but instead needs taken care of — when her dependence on them turns into parasitism. and I don't think that question has a simple answer, even if they love Vicki. Dark Shadows never really seems to consider that Julia might cure any other vampires than Barnabas, but that could be an option — certainly more merciful than letting Vicki live if that means living as something she hates.
third option ... something else? a monster that dark shadows has hitherto missed: there's precious little mention of any watermonsters in our seaside eldritch town, and I know I've bandied around the idea of a mermaid or siren Vicki with people before, especially as a form of rebirth after a drowning off the cliff. what feels difficult about putting that in the show itself as opposed to tie-ins (and probably why we never got any particularly watery creatures) is that it feels difficult to shoot, and they're certainly not going to regularly scout location footage of semi-topless AM on a Newport beach. even though, objectively, that'd be pretty great. there is that watery cove set in 1897, though, which I have just remembered, which feels more than do-able. if a little, um. H2O: Just Add Water.
I have a little bit less defined idea about what it would entail, but I do have this persistent association with Vicki being a kind of deer girl — doe-eyed, doe-skinned, beautiful in a faerie sort of way, prone to swerving cars, etc. and making up a kind of deer creature (in the way that Laura is a phoenix without us actually needing to see a bird?) feels in line with what we could do in rural Maine, especially with deer being symbolic of a connection between worlds and other realms and the Other Side. maybe an arc partly inspired by princess transformation folklore, like The White Doe — vampire-ish, certainly, with the element of needing to avoid being touched by sunlight! and fairytale is the other side of the coin of gothic romance. or something Artemis-esque — especially given Vicki's connotations with chastity and protecting young children. what does that look like exactly ... ? Roger accidentally sees Vicki in the bath and gets mauled by the local werewolf population? maybe. I'll have to think more on this!
🚫‼️ SKIP THIS FOR NOW UNTIL WE GET FURTHER INTO LEVIATHANS. TORTIE DO NOT READ !!! DO NOT CLICK READ MORE NOT PASS GO !!! ‼️🚫
3. No one cares about this on the whole entire planet but me, but instead of the werewolf being the ancient enemy of the Leviathans, they should have got Laura to return for the end of the arc. Now. Listen. Just hear me out. In the first place, werewolves being the leviathans' only weakness doesn't make any goddamn sense. and I say this in a show that doesn't care about making sense as a general rule, this dings way higher on the bullshit scale than usual. It's a lazy addition to try to connect Chris' plotline to our main story because we're losing interest in his problems as we get way bigger things on our plate. A noble goal, I guess (if you still care about Chris) but they don't convince me.
it's frankly nonsense that in a world before man there would have been werewolves (because ... they're men who occasionally transform into something else, by definition). it's even more nonsensical that there are werewolves before the universe, when there's only matter and energy. there are no men. there are no wolves. there's not even a moon that's been formed to howl at! this is malarkey, jack. and in no world whatsoever do I buy that a dark shadows werewolf can take on the kind of powers that they show us jeb and the leviathans having; werewolves only have physical strength, which is deadly to an unarmed human but more or less equal to an armed one, and lesser than a human armed with anything silver. the leviathans already dwarf that before jeb comes into power, but jeb especially is not even in the same league as werewolves. they're not even playing the same sport. coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb.
now. if we're going to pull a sudden "actually the weakness for the leviathans has been here all along and it's this supernatural creature you've already been introduced to!" it should be the phoenix. the bird vs. snake motif has very strong mythological roots across culture and religion: in the Iliad, you have the omen sent to the Trojans.
“an eagle flew up high from right to left and held the army back. His talons clutched a huge red snake, still breathing and alive,” who had not given up the struggle yet. The snake coiled back and bit the eagle’s breast under his neck. In agony, the eagle let fall the snake upon the ground, among the crowd of men, and with a screeching cry he flew away upon the breath of wind.” (tr. Wilson, 2023)
There's the Mexica legend about the founding of Tenochtitlán, where the sun god Huitzilopochtli sends the image of an eagle devouring a snake on the spot where the city will be built; in China you have the fenghuang paired to the dragon; the Iranian simurgh and the serpent who repeatedly feasts on her eggs; and early Christian writers sometimes showed the struggle of Christ and the devil as between bird and serpent. Most notably: the enemy of the sun god Ra (portrayed as a falcon) is the god Apep, the embodiment of darkness and disorder which takes the form of a massive serpent. And in Hindu and Buddhist mythos the Nagas, the symbol of the Leviathans, are ancient enemies with the Garuda(s) — an eagle-like sun bird deity which spends eternity hunting and killing them.
Reintroducing Laura as the ancient enemy to the Leviathan would have given the story a lot more weight behind it — because the show has already done so much leg work connecting Laura's origins and power to Ra, and establishing the origin myth of the Leviathans as something primordial and semi-divine. They already separately embody the meaning in most of these stories, which is rarely good vs. evil, but warmth, light, rebirth, knowledge vs cold, dark, fertility, chaos. I'd more readily buy into the phoenix as an ancient pre-human enemy in part because the Dark Shadows phoenix is something non-human taking a human form (as opposed to a human afflicted with with lycanthropy); and as myths go, the phoenix is much older than the medieval Christian conception of werewolves (though there are wolf-men elsewhere in mythology).
From an in-universe perspective — Laura is already connected to the werewolves they want to make relevant again. Her immortal ex-boyfriend Quentin is running around, who's got plenty of practice contacting witchy women through fires with his extensive practice in the black arts. She has no reason to help them out of selflessness, she does have reason to act out of a desire not to surrender control of the Collinses to her enemies — especially her son, firmly under the Leviathan thumb, but also her grandchildren(husband), and her great-grandaughter (and reflection of herself), who really has the most to lose. There's a lot you could play with about ... the overlapping themes of Laura's monstrous marriage and motherhood coinciding with what the Leviathans have planned for Carolyn, this notion of a deathly, poisonous womb. And I think it would make a nice parallel to Paul — the Collins spouse thought formerly to be dead, making a strange return — and Roger's also working against the cult, and to save Carolyn, which would put him as unlikely allies with Laura to the same end with opposite motivations. Again. Which would be delightful to watch.
The biggest problem is that it hasn't been all that that long since her death in '67 — but 1897 already threw the rule of the 100 year reincarnation out the window. Things are dire. We've got demons more ancient than the universe running around installing the antichrist and invoking the end of days. Ra can give her a hall pass.

I only just saw ur ask game post and hello gimme the deets on the role reversal au plz and thx
Ohh okay this is a fun one, where a bunch of stuff is swapped around. The Stilinskis, McCalls, Argents, and Martins are all werewolves and part of a pack (with Claudia, Gerard, Kate, Victoria, and Rafael having been killed in a hunter attack six years ago in place of the Hale fire). The Hales, in turn, are all human, and instead of being founders with tons of sway in Beacon Hills, they're just sort of a big, kooky, artsy hippie family lol. Well known cuz there are so many of them, but zero influence.
I don't have the story itself super well outlined yet, but the gist is gonna be: Peter finally returns home after a bunch of years living away in the big city, and immediately starts cluing in to things being… strange around Beacon Hills. Particularly with this nosy, hyperactive boy, who he swears somehow overheard a conversation that should have been humanly impossible to overhear. Cue Peter being sus af, catching on to more and more weird bullshit, and trying to figure it all out (while also feeling increasingly like he's going insane lol). Stiles, meanwhile, is super into this hot older guy who's new to town and has a lot of fun twisting him up, and may or may not go a liiiittle overboard with trying to show off and mess with him.
#I'm just so viscerally struck by this mental image of Peter being a Normal Guy#but still fuckin Peter so he can't just let a mystery go unsolved#and his family being like wtf peter stiles stilinski is just a normal nice boy#why are you so weird#while stiles is just standing over there like teehee :3c#he's not /trying/ to be a mysterious little shit#it just comes with the territory#asks#pr11de#steter#kor writes
