One More Hour (Tomtord angst AU)

Trigger warnings: double suicide / substance abuse / they literally never confess their feelings

A comic for this au that I never finished- and with how long the script for it was makes me not finishing it make sense.

Below the cut is the rest of the script for the comic and the au, and the song it was named after.

This au contains dark topics and descriptive content, it isn’t silly haha I apologize. Please proceed with caution 😔

Trigger warnings: double suicide / substance abuse / they literally never confess their feelings

First a summary of the whole au then the rest of the script for the comic

The story is called One More Hour,

So, basically Tom had abusive parents when he was a kid and Tord helped Tom get through everything and they were the closest of friends, and ended up living together with Edd and Matt when they were done with high school. Tord ends up leaving and Tom gets really pissed off and sad, and eventually goes berserk in monster form sometime like.. maybe a year or two after tord left (the events of The End didn’t happen)

Tom gets captured by the government and experimented on, Tord reads about it in the news, and since he’s the leader of the Red Army he has the power to get Tom back.

When Tord gets there and breaks Tom out, Tom immediately turns back into a human and hugs Tord, crying- making a kind of funny spectacle where all the restrained guards and scientists are confused and baffled, even Tord’s soldiers are in disbelief as Tord hugs and coddles this once ferocious killing machine

He helps Tom escape and Tom ends up working for Tord while in monster form to take over the world, but Tom starts drinking more and becomes more and more unstable, so pretty quickly Tord decides to have Tom closer to him and get him out of that environment.

Tom had been on the front lines, where it rained bullets and the ground was covered in bodies and blood because of him, in monster form he’s bulletproof, but he remembers everything, even the taste

Tom and Tord start enjoying their time together, thus this scene.

But the thing about this scene is that it’s the most important because it’s right before Tom kills himself, he’s been planning to for awhile, and Tom wanted to spend more time with Tord before he would never see him again, but they end up in a little disagreement, and Tord decides it would be better if Tom took some time off, so Tom makes a failed effort to stay.

Tom comes back later to find the paperwork finished with Tord asleep on his desk holding a picture frame of all of them, but with Tord blacked out in marker, Tom had done that to every picture of Tord in the house after Tord left.

Tom realizes Tord had been crying and leaves and drinks more.

That night Tord finds Tom in Tom’s quarters, it’s a complete fricken mess, Tord drags Tom off the bed and put him in the bathroom, making him vomit everything up while Tord strips the bed (Tom pissed himself), puts on new sheets, then puts a metal chair he found in the tub, strips Tom and puts him on it, washing him off. After he gets Tom cleaned and dressed, with no protest, (Tom was silent the entire time, disassociating while Tord berated him with worry and sad anger,) Tord lays Tom on the bed and starts cleaning up all the empty bottles, trash, floor, cleaning and vacuuming, throwing away torn up furniture and broken dishes and glass- not having told anyone about what happened. Tom had been tearing up his place in anger, at himself, for making Tord cry and many other things.

But once everything is cleaned up he falls asleep in a chair by Tom’s bed. Tom wakes up. Goes into the bathroom. And Tord wakes up to a gunshot. He’s devastated and he calls paul and Patryk crying and sobbing over the phone, they end up having to drag him from the body.

After that Tord obsesses over his work, he trains his soldiers in person, he gives inspiring speeches, and even goes out onto battle fields. He ends up quickly spreading his influence over the entire globe, him being a mechanic who’s able to build advanced technology helps.

Tord ends up completing his mission to rule the globe.

He goes back to the spot Tom died, and shoots himself.

continuation of the comic at the top

⬇️

Tord: tom, if you wanted to earn less you could have just said so, you do not have to say another word, I will move you back to that old job of yours pronto! *Reaches for some files*

Tom: NO!

Tord: *bites his lip amusedly*

Tom: Now give me those papers! If you keep crushing them they’ll be so wrinkled and ripped we won’t be able to read them. *starts to pick the papers up off the ground*

…. Why am I your assistant anyway? Did no one sign up?

tord :... It is funny actually. You see, being by me all day has the downside of my position

Tom; as leader?

Tord: yeah. The assistants that signed up are not soldiers, like you, so they can’t defend themselves if someone comes after me, but the soldiers that signed up are completely incompetent when it comes to filing.

*they both smile*

Tom: And there was no one else better for the job? I find that hard to believe.

Tord: oh, there were certainly better people for the job.

*there's a pause*

Tom: Then why me?

Tord: because out of everyone *touches tom’s hand* I trust you the most.

Tord: and you certainly keep better company. *leans back and puts his own hands face down in his lap and looks away*

Tom: Even when I trip you in the halls??

tord : *relaxes and smiles. He laughs* yeah. You know, *he turns back to tom* edd would always think I was just being clumsy, he only found out it was you who kept tripping me after I broke my nose

Tom: *laughs* oh fuck! I remember, holy shit! I felt so bad that I kept apologizing , and when Edd came into the room I started running my mouth about how it was me who’d done it!

Tord: *laughs* I still have the dent!

Tom: *touches it* oh god- yeah- your nose didn't have that before

*there's a moment of silence as they reminisce*

Tord: *worries on the side of some papers, and glances at tom, keeping his head down* So uh.. You have not been drunk in a while…

Tom: *taken aback and confused* Is that an invitation?

Tord: *eyes widen at the misinterpretation, leans back and puts hands up* No no! *sighs and relaxes, turning away while rubbing the back of his neck while smiling in embarrassment* I have been *blinks and lowers his hands face up in his lap* or- have not been- *leans his head at his words* seeing you fill up your flask as much *he looks at tom*

Tom: *folds arms and raises brow* Is that the only evidence I haven't been getting drunk as often? *he lowers his arms and avoids eye contact, putting his hands into his pockets while putting weight onto one side in his stance* isn't being- *flicks hand out in aggression and looks at Tord* isn't a bodyguard or an assistant or whatever- not supposed to get drunk on the job anyway? What are you trying to say?

*There's an awkward moment of silence where Tord stares at Tom in surprise and begins to pick at the papers more. Tord ends up looking down at the little mess he’s made, he disapprovingly sweeps it off the side of the desk. They both watch it flutter to the floor and watch it land.

Tom stands awkwardly with one hand still out and one in his pocket, he puts it down to his side. Tom sighs, looking distressed at Tord,, his standing position shifts to look more unnatural and awkward, feet closer together and glancing this way and that. He huffs and furrows his brow, looking down on Tord*

Tom: Would you get up now? You’ve been sitting on those bloody papers this whole time, we’ll never get through this whole stack.

Tord: *looks sad and conflicted* right. *phases to deadpan and looks at the papers* I better get through this *he gets up and turns around, picking the papers up from the desk and avoiding eye contact* you can go tom, I will finish up.

Tom: *confused and surprised* really? Why??

Tord: I thought you would want a break.

Tom: well- *runs hand through hair* When would I start my shift again?

Tord: *worries on the papers he’s gathered, while facing away with a moment of silence* when you want to.

Tom: um.. Are you sure? *leans to the side to get a view of the stack*

Tord: yes. I have kept you long enough. I am sure you are tired. *closed off*

tom : *worried* well yeah but- *smiles awkwardly*

Tord: I will be all right tom. *view of toad looking darker a d blunt and tom confused and conflicted*

*silence then Tom leaves without saying bye.*

Hours later.

Tom: *gently knocks on Tord’s office door, silence, then Tom enters* Tord? *quietly with guilt*

Tord: *asleep in his chair with his head covered in a folded arm, he’s facing away from tom, all the papers are done.*

Tom: tord? *He steps closer and closes the door, then walks over to the desk. Tom looks like he feels bad. Tom notices tord’s holding a small picture frame. Tom’s curious enough to slowly take it and examine its contents. It's a picture of the whole gang with tord’s face blacked out harshly in permanent marker. Flashback of when tom got so mad when tord left that he ruined all the pictures of tord in the house. Tom holds the picture in both hands now, looking at it in pain.*

You kept it.. *he looks to tord, looking hurt.* why..?? *tom furrowed his brow, then looked back and passes his thumb against the glass covering Tord’s outline in the picture, staring in silence. The room feels so large (wide shot then small shot of toms eyes looking over to tord and examining him.

Tords hair is a mess, his eyes are red and puffy, his sleeve is still wet along with the desk.

Tom looks solemn and conflicted. He puts the picture gently back into Tord’s hand, looking scared then paces away. Thinking in Conflict. He turns around and stares at tord* fuck *he furrows his brow, looking sad, angry and hurt. Quickly he takes a swig from his flask, putting it back in his pocket he stands for a bit before hesitantly leaving, looking back, and stopping a few times before leaving*

This would be for the first half up until tom kills himself

This would be the second half where tord is taking over the world, obsessing over his work up until he kills himself

Extra one 🤫this would mostly be Tom on the battlefield and him deteriorating. And Tord telling Tom he’s moving positions, so he won’t go into battle again

"Female lead vocalist?" I tilted my head in confusion. These were not words that I was familiar with. Tord cleared his throat and translated for me. "Je zou in onze band zingen. Ons belangrijkste evenement, als u wilt." ("You would be singing in our band. Our main event, if you will.") I gulped. "Ik weet het niet. Ik kan nog niet eens goed Engels spreken." ("I don't know. I can't even speak proper English yet.") Tord smiled and laughed. "Het is maar goed dat de meeste van onze liedjes Norsk zijn. En wat er ook in het Engels is, ik zal het je leren. Het zal gemakkelijker worden door de voortgang van onze bijlessessies, dat beloof ik." ("Well, it's a good thing that most of our songs are in Norwegian. And whatever is in English, I will teach you. It will become easier through the progression of our tutoring sessions, I promise.")  I chewed on my lip in thought. I wasn't completely fluent in Norsk but it was so close to Dutch that it couldn't be that hard to pick up on, right? And this seemed like it would be lots of fun. As I continued to contemplate, I heard Patryk gasp. Looking up at him, I saw him faint. That's when I tasted it. Blood. I had bit my lip so hard in thought that I must've accidentally bit through it. I ran my thumb across my bottom lip, smearing the ruby liquid on my finger. Shrugging, I licked it off like it was nothing. I looked at Tord and Paul. Paul was tending to the passed out Pat while Tord was still looking at me expectantly. He was waiting for an answer. Finally, I smiled and nodded once. The grin that broke out on Tord's face was adorable. It wasn't the usual cocky smirk I've seen all day. It was a real, goofy teenage boy smile.

Tord and I sat at his desk in his room as he tried to get me to comprehend the concept of cheese. "Okay, okay. It's like…chewy milk?" I asked, tilting my head slightly to the left. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Tord sighed. "Not quite but, you're getting closer." I rubbed my eyes and yawned sleepily. Tord turned his attention back to me, swiveling in his chair. "You're tired? Perhaps we should take a break." I could only manage a nod as I looked at the clock. It was half passed eight. My eyes bulged. "Faen! I'm late for dinner! Frost is going to kill me!" I yelped. I started hyperventilating. Tord put his hand on my shoulder and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look up at him. "Nei, he won't. I'll take you home and explain everything to your family. I'm sure that you're parents will be pleased with you making such a nice new friend." There it was again. That smirk. For his sake and mine, I hoped to Thor he was right. We hopped in his car and he drove me home. I gave him directions and it looked as though we didn't live terribly far from each other. At least cycling distance. We pulled up in front of my house. It wasn't much of a spectacle. It was painted a pretty shade of peach on the outside and it was two stories. Mine and Frost's rooms were on the second floor while our parents stayed on the ground floor. He got out and opened the door for me. He squeezed my wrist in reassurance but I was still very afraid. I opened the door slowly and walked to the kitchen, hoping that I hadn't missed dinner after all. Turns out, I was right on time. Papi was just setting the table and Moeder was pulling desert out of the oven. I internally sighed with relief. That's when a cough was heard behind me. I turned around to see Frost standing there with his arms crossed and glaring at Tord. "Nearly late." His Dutch accent pooled venom in his words. "But I'm home now. So you can chill." I muttered under my breath. "Papi, Moeder, Dette er min venn Tord. Kan han bli til middag?" ("Dad, Mother, This is my friend Tord. Can he stay for dinner?") My mother had this small smile on her face as she looked over at my father. He looked Tord up and down from head to toe before motioning for us to sit at the table. Tord took a seat next to me and Frost sat on my other side, glaring at his plate. I cleared my throat. "Um…could we maybe speak in English at dinner tonight? It would really help me practice." I looked around at everyone praying to Loki that I had used the right words. My parents beamed at me as they nodded their heads with excitement.

The usual dinner conversations began. My parents spent most of dinner asking Tord questions about himself, his family, his hobbies, etc. When Tord mentioned that he was in a band, my father's eyes sparkled. Oh no. Here it comes. I looked over at Frost and he looked over at me as we sank into our seats lowly as our father began recounting the days of his mariachi band 'The Cobras'. "Papi, you're embarrassing me." I mumbled. Tord just chuckled as he saw my bright pink complexion. "So, Tord. What kind of band are you in?" My father asked. It was Tord's turn to get excited. A grin broke out across his face as he started talking about his Norski rock band. I tuned in when I heard Tord say my name. "And Lyric has so kindly agreed to be our lead vocalist. They have an excellent voice. You have one talented star on your hands Mr. and Mrs. Aries." Tord said, smiling. It was a genuine smile. I could even see a gap in his two front teeth that I'd never noticed before. It was kind of cute, if I'm honest. I blushed at the thought. My parents beamed at the compliment. "Please, you can call us mom and dad if you like. Any friend of Lyric's is family." My mother threw in. I hid my face by pushing my frijoles around with a fork and looking down. "Mom." I whined through my teeth. This only managed to make Tord chuckle more. "So, you're part of a band now, Paardebloem. That's pretty exciting!" Moeder tried changing the subject once she realized I was flushed and embarrassed. Tord smirked at me a quirked a brow up. "Paardebloem?" I bit my lip which was still sore from earlier. I could only nod. "We call them that because they loved dressing up as a paardebloem when they were a little kid." My mother supplied. My face's shade visibly darkened. "So, do you guys have a practice schedule or anything?" Tord nodded. "Every day after school from 3 to 7. And I'm tutoring Lyric in English so that could always take place after until about 9 if that's alright." Frost looked as if he was about to interject when my father butted in. "Absolutely! You keep them as late as you want! I'm just glad they are finally leaving the house!" My father laughed. My brother's jaw dropped. "But Dad! They're teenagers! They could be lying! What if he's just trying to use her? He's no good, Pops!" My jaw dropped at his words. "Jij klootzak!" ("You son of a bitch!") I stood abruptly. Tears were beginning to well in my eyes. My brother had never acted to rudely before. The Frost I know couldn't even hurt a fly let alone call someone he just met 'no good' or a 'liar'. "Papi, Moeder. May we be excused?" I held back a sniffle as a tear ran down my left cheek, tracking black eyeliner with it. My father looked taken aback by Frost and looked to my mother. She was tight lipped but nodded. Frost went to stand and Papi's hand shot out to grab his wrist across the table. "Not you, young man. We need to have a serious talk about your behavior and how it's affecting your sibling." He said sternly. Frost glared but nodded, returning to his chair.

As I turned to head towards the front door, Tord's wrist in my hand, my mother spoke up. "Why don't you show Tord around, Paardebloem? You can show him your studio if you'd like?" My face flushed pink. I softly smiled while nodding. I detached from Tord to give my mother a hug. She rubbed my back comfortingly and gave me one last squeeze before whispering in my ear. "Just don't be too hard on your legs, okay?" I nodded softly as I pressed a kiss into her hair. She let me go and I asked Tord if he'd like a tour. He nodded and I looped my arm in his, starting for the living room. "So this is the living room. That's my Papi's recliner," I pointed to the periwinkle velvet chair in front of the tv, "and that's my Moeder's loveseat." I gestured to the purple mini couch next to the bookshelf filled with Dutch romance novels. "What's that?" Tord asked. I turned my head to see what he was talking about. He was staring at the wall of family photos. I tugged him over to it. 'This is what my Papi refers to as "The Aries Family Wall of Fame'. Anybody important enough to be on this wall is drilled into our family forever." I looked up at Tord. He was looking at all of the photos of my family. We all looked quite a lot alike. I noticed his eyes straying back to one specific photo. "Who's this?" He asked. I peered closer at the photo. It was my little sister, TJ. "Oh, that's my little sister. She died when she was one." I said. He looked apologetic. I shook my head. "It’s okay. I was only four when it happened and I barely remember it. Come on. There's more to see." I pulled him all around the house. I showed him my mom's office where she spends all day writing her novels, my dad's piano room, my brother's indoor batting cage, etc. That's when we came to my room. Honestly, I was kind of nervous to show Tord my room. I mean this is my sanctuary. It represents everything that I am in one room. I took a deep breath as we entered. "And this is my room." I walked in before him and outstretched my arms. He looked around the room almost fondly. Tord observed the posters and framed sketches on my wall. "These are incredible. Your room is really nice." He complimented. "Thank you but we're not done yet." I grabbed his hand and led him to a ladder under a hatch on the ceiling. He looked at me quizzically as I grinned. I pulled down the hatch and climbed up the ladder, motioning for him to follow. We were now in what looked to be an observatory. All rounded glass doming is what constructed the room and everywhere you looked there was some type of artistic medium. There were easels and canvases and paint. There was a computer for digital art. There was a mic stand and amps with a DJ set up. Anything artistic that you could think of, I had it. "This is my studio." I said. I flopped down on one of the chairs in front of my mic set up and Tord joined me, looking around the room in awe. "This is amazing. You must spend a lot of time here, yeah?" I nodded my head looking up at the stars through the glass ceiling. "It's the one thing that no one can ever take away from me." I looked at Tord and he was looking at me with a soft smile. "I'm surprised that your english is so good." I nodded my head. "These are all words that Frost has used with me before." Then I remembered his actions downstairs and at school. "Also I'm really sorry that he was so rude to you. He's not usually like that." I looked at my hands in my lap. Tord came over and sat on the arm of the chair I was in. "Hey, it's okay. Really. People usually have a bad first impression of me. I'm used to it." I looked up at him and he was really close. Subconsciously, I leaned in closer for a better look. I hadn't noticed before but Tord had a light dusting of freckles across his cheeks. He had a pretty sharp jawline as well. His eyes were a gorgeous silver color in the direct light. He was beautiful. I felt his hand find it's way into my hair and he started to lean in. His eyes were heavily lidded and he mumbled something in Norwegian. "Hm?"

There was a knock on the hatch and we broke apart. I opened it to see Frost. "Ja?" I asked. He looked from me to Tord with distrustful eyes. Frost had never looked at me like that before. It was almost scary. "Mom and dad say it's time for Tord to go but you have permission to go to his house or he can come here as much as you both would like." He grumbled as he climbed back down my ladder. I looked at Tord apologetically. He waved a dismissive hand. "It is pretty late and a school night. I'll see you in class tomorrow?" He asked as he walked back downstairs with me. I nodded. "Yeah, want me to walk you to your car?" I asked. He nodded and said his goodbyes to my brother and my parents. Frost just crossed his arms and huffed while my father shook his hand happily and my mother hugged him, telling him he could come by as much as he'd like and that he was such a nice young man and that we'd make adorable babies. "Moeder!" I grabbed Tord's hand dragging him out of the house as fast as I could. We walked up to his car and he looked at me. It was silent for a second. He cleared his throat. "I uh, I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Bye, Lyric." He waved before climbing in his car. That's when something hit me. "Wait!" He turned to look at me. "When we were upstairs, in my studio. You said something but I didn't hear you. What did you say?" He chuckled. Walking closer to me, he put one hand on my cheek while the other held my waist, pulling me flush against him. "I said, 'Pokker, du er vakker, løvetann'." ("Damn you're beautiful, dandelion.") That's when he did it. He leaned in, closing his eyes, and kissed me. It was my first kiss. My eyes fell shut as I kissed back. He tasted like cinnamon and spice. The kiss ended all too soon for my liking. "I'll see you tomorrow, løvetann~." And with that, he got in his car and drove away. I walked back inside to see that my mom was grinning at me. Before she could bombard me with questions, I ran up to my room. I flopped down on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. It was a text from Tord.

Tord: Yes, I still have your bike and yes, I'm picking you up for school tomorrow. You won't be biking to school ever again if I have anything to say about it. ;)

I giggled and just sent back a smiley face. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.

All Teams Qualified for VCT 2024: EMEA Kickoff

Try the groups which might be set to take part within the VCT 2024: EMEA Kickoff With the yr 2023 ending, each Valorant fan is ready for the VCT 2024 season to begin. In contrast to final yr's single kickoff occasion that includes groups from three areas, Riot Video games is shaking issues up by organizing three separate occasions to kick off the season, one for every area. The EMEA Kickoff occasion is scheduled to begin on twentieth February 2024, a slight delay in comparison with the opposite two areas starting three days earlier. We've got 11 groups collaborating this season, increasing from the unique 10. Mild Mates will debut within the Franchise League after successful the EMEA Ascension.

VCT 2024: EMEA Kickoff Groups

The 11 groups within the EMEA kickoff occasion hail from completely different European and CIS nations, together with the UK, Turkey, France, Ukraine, and Spain. Right here’s the whole particulars on all of the groups and what we will count on from them within the upcoming season: FNATIC Timofey “Chronicle” Khromov Jake “Boaster” Howlett Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev Leo “Leo” Jannesson Emir “Alfajer” Beder Chris “Elmabuddy” Tebbit (Head Coach) 2023 was a dream yr for FNATIC. Boaster and Co couldn't have requested for a greater season, successful two of the three worldwide occasions. The one draw back of the season for them was not successful the Valorant Champions, which they'll absolutely make their main mission to win within the upcoming season. Following such an enormous success, it was closely speculated that FNATIC wouldn't make any modifications to the roster. It proved to be proper to date. The crew has the most effective gamers on the planet in each function. Barring any unexpected circumstances, it's extremely possible that we'll see this roster proceed to dominate the Valorant scene in VCT 2024 as effectively. GIANTX Adolfo “Fit1nho” Gallego Aaro “hoody” Peltokangas Žygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas Kirill “Cloud” Nehozhin Igor “Redgar” Vlasov Daniil “pipsoN” Meshcheryakov (Coach) GIANTX, who glided by the title of Giants Gaming final season, had a reasonably profitable however inconsistent season. After an early exit within the LOCK//IN occasion, they'd a mean outcome within the VCT EMEA League Stage, failing to qualify for the Masters Tokyo. They lastly confirmed their mettle within the EMEA LCQ, successful the entire thing with out dropping a single map. Regardless of the success within the LCQ, the Giants failed in Valorant Champions 2023.  In preparation for the 2024 season, the LCQ winners recruited the esteemed former IGL of Gambit Esports, Redgar, to guide their crew. The remainder of the roster is ready to stay the identical. Karmine Corp  Martin “MAGNUM” Penkov  Tomás “tomaszy” Machado  Marshall “N4RRATE” Massey  Martin “marteen” Pátek  Ryad “sh1n” Ensaad  Andrey “ENGH” Sholokhov (Head coach) There was hardly a crew within the Franchise leagues that went by means of as a lot criticism as Karmine Corp did final season. Regardless of fielding a promising roster, KCorp had a disastrous run in all of the occasions wherein they participated.  Alongside the dangerous outcomes, the crew went by means of turmoil within the squad as effectively. One of many crew members, newzera, left the org in the midst of an occasion, forcing the coach to play as an alternative to the remainder of the match. For the VCT 2024, the French Org revamped the entire roster, bringing in 4 new gamers whereas holding solely Sh1n from the previous crew. KOI  Patryk “starxo” Kopczynski  Jose “koldamenta” Luis Aranguren  Bogdan “sheydos” Naumov  Nikita “trexx” Cherednichenko  Berkant “Wolfen” Joshkun André “BARBARR” Möller (Head coach) One other roster with enormous potential that might not reside as much as the expectations. From mechanical expertise to expertise, the KOI squad had all of it, and that's the reason once they got here 2nd final within the EMEA League stage and later didn't qualify for the Valorant Champions, it got here as fairly a shock. Though there have been preliminary rumors of some roster modifications, like Sayf becoming a member of KOI, these quickly proved to be false. It appears to date that the KOI squad will likely be unchanged for the second consecutive season. NAVI  Kyrylo “ANGE1” Karasov  Andrey “Shao” Kiprsky  Pontus “Zyppan” Eek  Dmitry “SUYGETSU” Ilyushin  Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks  Erik “d00mbr0s” Sandgren (Head coach) If there was ever a crew in EMEA that had the flexibility to match FNATIC when it comes to each mechanical and tactical gameplay, it was NAVI. Regarded not simply inside EMEA however among the many prime 3 globally, NAVI's potential appeared limitless. Nonetheless, there are not any doubts that they'd the potential to attain far more than they really did final yr. Barely managing to grab a podium spot just isn't what you count on from a crew of NAVI’s caliber.  Going into VCT 2024, there will likely be just one and but vital change within the NAVI roster. ardiis from NRG Esports will be part of his former teammates from FPX and exchange cNed within the crew. Workforce Heretics  Ričardas “Boo” Lukaševičius  Dominykas “MiniBoo” Lukaševičius  Mert “Wo0t” Alkan  Enes “RieNs” Ecirli  Benjy “benjyfishy” David Fish  Patryk “paTiTek” Fabrowski (sub)  Neil “neilzinho” Finlay (Head coach) Workforce Heretics has a mixed file of 2-9 in all of the three occasions they participated in final season. This file alone can provide you an concept of how the yr went for the Spanish Org. You can not placed on shambolic outcomes repeatedly and count on the crew to remain collectively. For the 2024 season, we will likely be a wholly new roster of Workforce Heretics. Retaining boo and benjyfishy from the earlier lineup, they've infused contemporary expertise by bringing in two promising Turkish newcomers, reIns and Woots, alongside a Lithuanian teen, miniboo. Workforce Liquid  Enzo “Enzo” Mestari  Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen  Ayaz “nAts” Akhmetshin  James “Mistic” Orfila  Georgio “Keiko” Sanassy  Emil “eMIL” Sandgren (Head coach) Workforce Liquid is likely one of the few groups from final season that lived as much as the expectations. nAts and Co had a constant exhibiting all through the season. The season's spotlight for them needed to be beating FNATIC to say the crown of the VCT EMEA Championship. Regardless of the success, Workforce Liquid are nonetheless bringing new expertise to the squad. Dropping soulcas, redgar, and Sayf, they signed the Apeks core- keiko and Mistic and former FNATIC participant Enzo. Workforce Vitality Tomas “Destrian” Linikas  Kimmie “Kicks” Laasner  Emil “runneR” Trajkovski  Jokūbas “ceNder” Labutis  Saif “Sayf” Jibraeel  Salah “salah” Barakat (Head coach) Workforce Vitality confirmed a lot promise final season, having certified for the VCT EMEA Playoffs. Nonetheless, their season was over early because of the tragic occasion of their star-duelist Twisten passing away.  For the VCT 2024 season, the roster stays unchanged apart from the spot of Twisten, which will likely be crammed by former Liquid participant Sayf.  BBL Esports  Efe “Elite” Teber  Ali “AsLanM4shadoW” Osman Balta  Melih “pAura” Karaduran  Eren “Courageous” Kasırga  Kaan “reazy” Ürpek  Doğukan “QutionerX” Dural  Arda “Epic” Yıldız (Head coach) BBL Esports’ run all through the 2023 season was principally an underdog story. They have been no favourite to win any occasion, and so the mid-table finishes hardly raised any eyebrows. Nonetheless, the Turks had their moments right here and there once they toppled some distinguished groups with their aggressive playstyle. BBL Esports, too, are going to make vital modifications to their roster for subsequent yr. Holding Courageous, AsLanM4shadoW, and QutionerX, the Istanbul-based org is bringing in 4 new faces. It will likely be attention-grabbing to see what their enjoying 5 will likely be as soon as the season begins.

Their notable achievements, together with podium placement in VCT EMEA, established them as a pressure to be reckoned with on the worldwide stage. It is not going to be far-fetched to count on even higher outcomes from the Turks within the upcoming yr as they made a considerable roster improve, buying cNed, the prodigious 19-year-old from NAVI.

It's a sad day at the Moser residence. Stephanie and Patryk sat the boys down to discuss the future of the family. The two parents have decided to legally separate and take some time apart before deciding what's next for them. Neither of the boys took the news well. Both are hurt and angry, wondering why things have gotten so bad that Patryk has to move out. He'll be all the way in San Myshuno. It's only 45 minutes away but still, that feels so far. Leo feels pretty tense, wanting to escape his family and be anywhere but there. Elliot is trying to stay strong for his mom and keep the rest of the family together. It feels like life is falling apart.

ok i answered this when i was reallhy high and in silly mode with my enemy underhell69. but now i actually want to talk about them

tom and tord met thru edd, edd was tom's highschool friend starting like freshman/sophomore year tord transferred from norway to edd's highschool a bit after edd and tom became friends. tord was quiet bc of his poor english but would tease tom sometimes, i think out of jealousy over being friends w edd (weird competitiveness) and also he's just a prick

alsoooo i think tord and tom see themselves in each other which is why theyre hostile to each other lol. (both self loathing to an extent) nicotine addict and alcohol addict both gay transgenders both kind of virgin losers with 2 friends both metalheads. they should be best friends but instead of they have a weird rivalry. i think their similarities piss each other off

said rivalry is tord annoying tom for attention- as time passes and tord's english gets better their relationship is like how it is in the end, but for a while early on tom can be just as mean as tord is

their arguing gets on matt's and edd's nerves a lot it can be a prblem for the whole house

despite their arguments they do from a genuine friendship even if it's based on banter and making fun of each other- like i said they have a lot in common, similar senses of humor, also are the only trans men of the group forging a fucked up bond

theyre both bored and touch starved virgins w emotional issues so eventually this turns into a situationship thing where theyre not dating but do Stuff for fun

this is very inspired by underhell69 the tomtord connoisseur lellll and also lines up w my own interpretations of tom and tord. eventually tom's mental health gets to a point where he has to make an improvement and tord isn't good for that- tord brings out the worst in him and he's fun to hang out with if u dgaf abt ur life which tom is sick of after living in survival mode in an unstable family situation/abusive household for like 7ish years

tom wants emotional connection/intimacy and a stable sense of love and support which tord doesn't want nor know how to provide. he's mostly interested in tom sexually (i hc him as aro to an extent) and isn't receptive of tom being more emotional bc of his own emotional intelligence being shiet

things get more tense and this leads to "tomtord breakup" which is a big push in tord leaving- he was already considering bc he didnt have a job and was just fuckig around after highschool but after that he doesnt want to stay in the same house as tom and acts on his impulse to run away from everybody

joins red army thru paul and patryk who he met in college yadayada

hey.... whats ur opioion tomtord yaoi? also u dumb poopoo head

um.................hi...

tomtord yaoi is preddy awesome when theyre not actually a couple but have something homoerotic going on thehy were GAY before tord left

Chapters: 1 | 2

(Art does not belong to me, they just look really cool lmao)

"Ready...."

"...set..."

"GO!!!!"

Just like before, your opponent ran towards you, except this time you did the same. Just as he was about to shoot, you quickly dodged the bullet and proceeded to shoot back, but he dodged them as well. You groaned and ran back at him, attempting to throw away the gun out of his hands, but he ducked and made you trip over his feet, knocking the breath out of you. You took a minute to get back on your feet, you weren't quite done yet. It's been a long time since you've been into battle like this, but you tried to stay focused. All you had to do is shoot him down to distract him, and then knock him onto the ground. You quickly reloaded your rifle and was just about to shoot... Where did he go? You looked around for a second, but got knocked to the ground from behind again.

"Oof-" you were laying on your back as Paul stood before you, looking down at you thinking he won. "Guess I-" you cut him off by kicking yours knee the hardest you could on his.... Crotch area. You yelled in pain, this is your chance! Seeing him covering his crotch, you aimed and pulled the trigger to your rifle, making him fall down with a harsh yelp. He laid there in defeat as you approached him. He looked so miserable... You giggled and held your hand out to help him up. "That was quite a plot twist, huh?" You looked at him and smirked, he avoided your eye contact, you could tell he was embarrassed.

"Good job, both of you." Patryk patted you and Paul in the shoulder and quickly whispered into the others ear; "Are you sure they need to fight us as well? They literally just passed you."

"Whatever, as long as we're done with it I guess."

"Damn, you're really FALLING for them." Paul smacked the others head. You looked at them confused, what are they talking about?

"As if you're not doing the same." Patryk widened his eyes at him, and started to have this faint red blush across his face and only shook is head.

"Alright, what are you homos talking about?"

"Homos?!?!" They yelled in unison, looking at each other before looking disgusted, yet still sharing the same type of blush.

"We're not gay. We were just talking about Paul having a cr-"

"Breakdown! Yeah... A breakdown because you defeated me and I never thought no one could do that... Haha." You looked at them suspiciously. Something wasn't right, but you couldn't put your finger into it. You just ignored it. "So, when are we doing the 2v1?"

"Yeah.... About that, we're not gonna do that." Patryk answered.

"What? Why?"

"1. We're just way too lazy for that, 2. Because fighting Paul is enough, so doing a 2v1 against us and you isn't really necessary (also the author is too lazy to write it and ran out of ideas). It'll most likely end up with you winning anyways."

"Awww, thank you! A little bit strange way to call me hot and strong, but I'll take it." You awed sarcastically, earning another flustered expression on both their faces, trying their best to hide it.

"Well, we're not wrong, are we?"

"I guess not." You smiled softly at them. Hm, you wonder what happened. You were all so cold and mean towards each other just a few seconds ago, but you strangely grew a bit more comfortable around them.

"It's getting pretty late. We can offer you a dorm here in the building just like we have, we just gotta report it to the red leader. Unless you wanna go home and get stalked by him because, you know, security and we wanna make sure you won't betray us or anything." The slightly shorter man offered. Stalked? By the red leader? No thank you, but you need your privacy even though there might be cameras set up in the dorms. Having a dorm seems way easier for you to get to work anyways, you don't wanna drive 30 minutes every fucking day just to get here. So having a dorm might be the safest option.

"I'm fine with a dorm."

"You sure? You can always change your mind if you end up regretting it."

"I'm 100% sure."

"Okay, just get your stuff and follow me."

With that, you quickly got your jacket and bag, but lucky for you you don't even have a bag with your clothes in it so you just have to wait until tomorrow to get it. But you were too tired to care, so you just followed the two men to your new dorm. You looked around, and there were security cameras in every corner of the building. It was quite overwhelming, but it is a top secret army organization, so who were you to blame? The walk to the dorms was a bit long, but you finally reached it.

"Here's your key. Just don't try anything stupid, and just call one of us if there's anything, 'Kay?" Paul dropped the key to your room onto the palm of your hand.

"I don't have your numbers though." You said as he lighted up his cigarette. "Oh yeah. Give me a second-" Paul pulled up a small note and a pen, writing down his and Pats number and handed it to you.

"Thanks."

"Mhm."

Then there was an awkward silence.

"Well- Uh- See you tomorrow, I guess?" You awkwardly opened the door and stepped in.

"Yeah.... Goodnight."

"'Night."

Patryk gave you a smile, in which you returned back and closed the door before you. What a messy and tiring day.

EXTENDED ENDING

Paul and Patryk walked through the halls towards the red leaders office, which was just in the very bottom of the building, even many meters underground, with high security everywhere. There were many thick metal doors in the way to the location which required special and complicated codes and cards to get through. Some even had invincible lasers. You need a special code to turn them off, or else you'd get cut to pieces. Then there were these detectors, if you mess up the code at least 5 times or if the detectors aren't able to detect your identity, you'll automatically get killed by sharp weapons like knives, arrows and even hard bullets that could go right through you. All these, that only Paul, Patryk and the red leader have the access to.

"Hey, Paul, what do you think boss would think?"

"About what? Y/n? I mean, he was the one who brought them here, but I do hope we'd get promoted to something big. Also that Y/n doesn't get killed, because they're actually really strong and a good lending hand for the team." The man with the cigarette grinned at the imagination. "You're already his right hand man, I hope I get to have the same privileges soon so I don't always have to be put up with your bullshit all the time." Pat said sarcastically, only for Paul to lightly push him by the shoulder.

"You already almost have the same power as I do, you just have to follow every order I tell you to do. But since I'm nice, I barely do give you any orders so I mostly just let you do whatever you want. You should be proud of that."

"I guess, whatever. Would still be sweet though. I hope he accepts Y/n anyways, I'd actually feel a bit damned if they won't make it to the army." They just arrived at the last security door, they had to enter a password to go. Just as Paul was about enter the code, Patryk stopped him. "Wait, something is different." The other looked at him confused as he looked closer to the patterns of the metal door. "You see that? That's the Norwegian royal coat of arms. That wasn't here before. Boss must've changed a few things here." He pointed on the lion holding an axe.

"What? It's just a new pattern."

"It's not just, dumbass. If he changed the pattern, he might've changed the password as well." Paul rolled his eyes and thought for a second. "Why would he do that?"

"I don't know, he's probably testing us or he's just messing around. He's smart, he knows we'd get caught up with his acts like this."

"Well... what could it be?" The darker haired man shrugged, gave a few minutes to think as well. "Let's think about something logical he'd put as a password. Nothing too hard, nothing too easy either." He exclaimed, the man with a scar on his eye nodded.

"Hmm... He's Norwegian, and the pattern is the lion of their symbol. What is lion in Norwegian?" Paul thought and tapped on his chin as a way to try to think better.

"How would I know? I've only studied in Norway for barely 2 years." Patryk used to study in Norway, until he met Paul and agreed om moving to the UK with him online. That's also how they met Tord (not my headcanon, I saw this in a post once and I thought it was really interesting).

"2 years and you don't know what lion is?"

"Fine, just give me a second." Patryk stood there in silence trying to dig up the word that was deeply buried inside his brain. He should've known what lion in Norwegian was, but it's been such a long time. But then he got it.

"Wait, I think it was 'løve'" His face lit up, proud of himself for the correct translation and pronunciation."

"La...Lawve? Luve-"

"Just get on with it already! What's on your mind?" Paul sighed and turned around to enter the password.

"The password requires both letters and numbers, so maybe he wrote the letters with numbers." He exclaimed as he huffed out a cloud of smoke.

"Uh, what?"

"Ugh, just look at this."

Paul entered 'D3N R0D L0V3' and about to press the OK button, until the man stopped him.

"Den rød løve?" He asked in confusion.

"Yes, notice how how their coat of arms is red? That's also boss' favorite color, he also goes by 'The red leader' and 'Den rød leder', so this has to be correct and logical. You should already know this, and you call me an idiot."

"Whatever, just enter the password already. You're just making this harder for us." Paul did as told, pressed the button and boom, "access accepted". He smirked at Patryk which just raised his eyebrow. They then opened the door, Tord was already sitting by his desk. It looked like he was waiting for them.

"Greetings, my most trusted soldiers. Seems you passed that test. God job." The caramel color haired man got up as he walked towards the other two.

"Yes, sir. May I ask why we were given such task without any warning?"

"I was testing your patients, if you were smart enough to figure it out. These kinds of situations might acure during work or battle, so it's good to be prepared." Tord patted their shoulders before turning around to face his desk which was filled with many unfilled paperwork's scattered all around, a long with a pistol and a bunch of used cigarettes.

"I see. Will we ever come across more situations like this again?" Paul asked as he lit up a new cigarette.

"I can't say. Just like you said, being aware of what will happen soon will lower your standards. You'll just have to see for yourself."

"How'd you-"

"Did you forget I have cameras almost everywhere here in the building? I'm watching every step of every member here, I will always know what will happen next." The red leader smirked and picked up his cigarette to smoke. Everyone was quiet for a second. Paul didn't really know what to say, so did Patryk as Tord was waiting for their response.

"So, was there anything else?" Tord finally broke the silence.

"Oh- Yeah! We believe Y/n would make a good soldier, sir. As you saw how they fought both of us, I think it would be a good idea to let them in." The man with the bushy eyebrows exclaimed, hoping for a good reply from his boss.

"That's up to me, huh? Say, since you both have been the best soldiers for me, and you guys just loveeee Y/n so much, I guess I can't say no." He chuckled at the way their eyes started lighting up and blush a slight shade of red. He gotta admit though, it would be great see the look on their faces if he said no though.

"Okay, we will report to them tomorrow morning."

"Good. You're dismissed, goodnight Paul and Patryk."

"Have a goodnight, boss." They nodded and turned back to leave his office.

The moment they closed the metal door, they both let out a big sigh of relief as they held onto their blue uniforms. "Holy shit, I am so relieved right now." Patryk said as he closed his eyes to calm down. "Same. Why the hell didn't you say anything?" Paul asked as he frowned. "Well I didn't wanna fuck up anything! You're his right hand man after all." He simply answered as they started walking back through the same tiring doors, which went way faster and easier this time. They were both exhausted, he didn't expect to get a new member this sudden. Besides, you were kinda... No. You have to take this job seriously, there's no time to be lovey dovey.

"I'm off to bed, I've done my job for the day. We'll meet at my dorm at 8am tomorrow, then go get Y/n." Paul planned as they were about to part their ways to their own dorms. "Sure. What will we do then?"

"We'll... Uh.. We'll see. I'm just really fucking tired right now."

"Okay.... Sleep well then I guess." He turned his back to walk through the other hallway with dorms.

"You too, see you tomorrow."

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Small fic about Tord's sibling almost talking him down in the climax of The End until Tom throws the sofa at him and harpoons him. Anfst timw bby.

"Tord..is this really what you wanna do?"

The massive red robot glanced down at you as its blue window became transparent. Its occupant, your one and only maniac of a brother, grinned at you widely.

"Yeah! I mean..this is all I came back for! C'mon søsken, let's leave all of this behind and start anew." Kneeling down, the robot extended its hand to you. "We'll rule the world together and be unstoppable!" Tord laughed like some cliché comic book villain.

But you weren't laughing at all. You didn't want to "rule the world" or cause any mayhem.

You only wanted to meet Tord's friends..that's the only reason you decided to come back into town with him. They seemed like such nice people, too, though you could tell he and Tom did not like each other a bit.

So how did that turn into you standing on the roof of a house, face-to-face with his giant robot, and trying to talk him out of destroying everything?

Part of you regretted coming here. Had you known his true plans...you would've stopped him way sooner.

He frowned as he saw you avert your gaze. "Oh come now..no reason to be sad. How about I make you your own robot? Any color you want! E-Except red, of course..that's-"

"I don't want a damn robot!" You snapped, clenching your fists. "I just...I want a normal life, with a normal brother. If you wanna show off your robot to Paul and Patryk, fine. But don't hurt them."

Edd and Matt perked up as they saw you gesture to them. You noticed their worried gazes and smiled sadly, hoping that they trusted you. You promised them that you'll try to talk sense into Tord.

Right now only you could. The fate of this neighborhood--and possibly the world--was literally in your hands.

"I don't know why you suddenly hate them but...they seem pretty cool." You looked back at your brother. "Whatever grudge you have against them is not worth destroying their lives over. It's never worth it, Tord. So please..let's just leave them alone."

As the robot stood rigidly, Tord looked uncertain now. Of course he noticed how much fun you had with his friends. He may have his own selfish desires but above all else, he wanted you to be happy.

And today you were especially happy to meet them.

Perhaps you were right.

Maybe this wasn't worth it.

"[Y/n]...I-"

"HEY!! SUNSHINE-LOLLIPOPS!"

Startled by the voice, you looked down to see Tom emerge from Edd's house, holding a cube-shaped gadget. "Take a SEAT!!" He threw it towards the robot as it transformed into a large piece of furniture-

Only to bounce harmlessly off its chest.

But something in Tord snapped, forgetting all about your words, as the arm turned into a massive rocket launcher. "Oh, SHUT UP!!!"

"TORD, NO!!" You yelled as he fired a rocket at the house, causing a massive explosion that shook the entire neighborhood. In horror you saw him fire another rocket at Eduardo's house right when the three occupants stepped outside to investigate the commotion.

Although you nearly fell off the roof, you managed to steady yourself as you scowled up at Tord, absolutely livid. "What the hell?!! I thought-!!!"

"Yeaaaah I changed my mind. It's best you forget about him [y/n]. Now let's go."

"You'll have to catch me first, asshole!!"

Racing to the ladder, you avoided his grasp and climbed down. Clearly your refusal to go with him earned his ire. "Ugh, I'm losing my patience with you!! I never should've let you come!!" He chased after you.

But he didn't get too far as the robot abruptly stopped and began punching itself.

"OW!"

You were confused until you noticed Matt pressing random buttons on the control panel, which somehow survived the house's destruction. Edd soon joined in, determined to buy you enough time to get away.

From the cockpit, Tord was being attacked by smaller robot arms, causing the mecha to stumble around. But even though he threatened you, you didn't want to see him get too badly hurt.

So you ran over to Edd and Matt. "Guys, stop. You're gonna kill him!!"

"Sorry [y/n], but I can't forgive him for ruining my face!!" Matt retorted.

"Besides, Tom's dead and we're probably next-" Edd started, only to be interrupted by Eduardo's voice.

"Jon?!"

You three stopped arguing and saw him holding Jon in his arms. But sadly he died a few moments later, succumbing to his injuries.

It was then you all realized..

Tom was still alive.

You then yelped as a laser beam destroyed the control panel, disintegrating it instantly, before noticing the robot retract its arm. "Fine. Stay here for all I care, [y/n]. So long, old friends!" He began to fly away.

With sadness you watched him leave. 'Why didn't you listen?'

For a moment you thought it was all over...

Until Tom emerged from the house rubble, wielding a giant harpoon gun, with tears in his white eyes. "I AM NOT. YOUR. FRIEND!!!!" He screamed as he fired the harpoon at the robot, impaling its head.

You covered your mouth in horror upon seeing it malfunction, soon exploding in a bright flashing light. Off in the distance you could see a figure falling from the sky.

You glanced at Edd and Matt for a moment, nodding to them, before you raced over to wherever your brother fell.

Sure enough, amid all the debris from the robot, you found him laying on a hill. Shockingly enough he was alive, but as you knelt down you realized half his face was scarred; same with his arm.

Paul and Patryk were already there, looking just as horrified. Though they decided to just sift through the wreckage so you could help Tord sit up.

He was a bit dazed, but surprised that you were here. As you reached out to him he flinched, convinced that you were going to slap him for being so stupid and foolish.

He deserved it for basically abandoning you, right?

Instead, however, you..hugged him. "Dumbass, I thought I lost you.."

The waver in your voice broke his heart, though he said nothing as he wrapped his good arm around you, resting his head on your shoulder. His hold on you was tighter than normal.

You were right.

It wasn't worth it.

[obsessivelyloved]

Hiii ^_^ I just found ur blog a couple days ago, I love your writing and I’ve been getting back into Eddsworld again!! Since ur requests are open, may I pls request some general romantic!yandere headcanons for Paul and Patryk (separate) with a gender neutral reader? Sfw but you can do some not sfw too! There’s nothing on those two boys and I love them a lot. If not I get it! Anyway I hope you have a great day! Oh and congrats on the 100 followers, that’s rad, keep up the great work!! 😘

I'm really glad to hear that you like my writings!!! I always get like,,,, a rush when people tell me that 👉👈. Thank you for the request!!! <3

________________________________________________

It may be because as far as I know, we don’t canonically have much on either of their personalities, but I feel like they’d be similar types of yandere to each other.

Paul:

- I’ve seen him in the background of a few videos so I assume that he’s in town more often than not. This means that he’s more likely able to see his s/o when he’s not keeping an eye on Tord’s friends.

- Often spends the night at his s/o’s house instead of a hotel or whatever. Although he’s in town, it doesn’t mean he gets to see them all the time so he makes every second with that count. He’ll constantly hold them in his arms and give them kisses.

- Paul isn’t super big on verbal affection but he always makes sure his s/o knows that he loves them when he has to leave.

- Has a tracker in his s/o’s phone so he knows where they’re at, at all times. If his s/o turns out to be near him when he’s on the job, he’ll seek them out if they’re in a spot where he can still watch Tord’s friends. If not, he’ll text his s/o to meet him. From there, he’ll wrap an arm around them and chill with them in silence.

- Absolutely hates when people assume that his s/o is single just because he can’t stay by their side 24/7. He’s used his position in Tord’s army many times to get rid of someone he doesn’t like.

Pat:

- I have not seen him in the background of videos so I assume that he’s by Tord’s side more often than not. This causes him to try to make every second he’s with his s/o count.

- Mainly gets to go home when he’s injured or gets a small vacation, so he mostly stays home with his s/o. He’ll spend his time with them in his arms or getting every detail he can out of his s/o about what they’ve been up to and what he’s missed.

- Also has a tracker on his phone, but unlike Paul’s, it’s a fancy thing that Tord built. Pat can’t always keep a phone on him so when he needs to quickly get rid of it, the tracker is programmed to wipe all data of his s/o’s whereabouts if he doesn’t put a pin in every few hours.

- Hates hates hates how he’s so far away from his s/o. Pat tries to call them and text them as often as he can but it gets harder when Tord’s army gets more well known and he’s on the wanted list alongside his friends and boss.

- Also isn’t afraid to use his position and connections in the army to get rid of people he doesn’t like getting close to his s/o or gets pictures and updates from anyone highish ranking who’s visited town.

- If this is the same universe as the yandere Paul, he’ll get sporadic updates from Paul about his s/o. Stuff like “visited the mall on xx/xx/xxxx.” “talked to a few people inside coffee shop.” etc.

- Always hugs his s/o super tight and kisses them as many times as he can before he has to leave them to go back to the army.

[the-unconquered-queen]

Ohhhhh. Before reading this, I thought that what the end of this chapter meant was that the illegitimate child was just out there somewhere, now I get the implication that they’re right there in the line of succession without anyone knowing they’re not Maksim’s, so then it’s the supposedly legitimate children we should be looking at.

But lmao imagine if the secret child were Trystan. It would explain why the queen’s race hinges on theirs in-universe (cause, y’know, the only other legitimate child that doesn’t look like Maksim in the slightest is Patryk, and he’s too far down the line of succession to matter if he’s bumped anyway), and since the queen doesn’t seem overly fond of Trystan, she might be happier letting her other child, Lydea, take the throne because it’d mean that with less attention on Trystan, the secret might stay out of the spotlight, but if the Act got passed and Trystan either didn’t qualify for or didn’t want the throne, it would go to a child that’s not Viktoria’s.

SoJuliana discovered that Viktoria had a child born outside of the bloodline aka Maksim aint the daddy.

Which makes more sense as to why the "royal" on this phone call said this...

What if that secret they wanted to keep buried was Viktoria's illegitimate love child? Juliana's diary mentioned that the Act for Heir Equity would be changed if the secret was uncovered. And from Juliana's dossier, it stated that Duchess Eveline's children would join the line of succession, and all 3 of her children have Maksim as their father, implying that Maksim was the "legitimate" natural-born royal and Viktoria was not. What if Viktoria feared that if the secret was uncovered, it would kick her child out of the line of succession and would only allow Maksim's children to be eligible for the line of succession? It would explain why she's so frosty to the idea of the Act for Heir Equity.

Which would also point to another idea I had about why Trystan was specifically targeted, starting with this line here...

What if the reason why Trystan was targeted was not to kick them out of the line of succession as the story is implying, but to prevent them from investigating Juliana's murder and consequently uncovering the truth about Viktoria's love child? It would explain why Viktoria assumed they were guilty and exiled them to America when she thought Trystan would be too heartbroken to investigate her murder. And when Trystan partnered up with the detective, called them back where she could keep an eye on them, and then thrusted them back into royal duties to prevent Trystan and the MC from being together as much as possible once proven innocent.

It seems like every week, I feel more and more sure that Viktoria is somehow the mastermind behind Juliana's murder, which explains why she's so touchy about investigating it. But also explains why she's not worried about Nadja's murder and points to a theory others have about there being two murderers.

Because she wasn't behind Nadja's murder and investigating it won't bring the attention and focus on her.

idk maybe im reading too into this...

Ewa Niespodziana

Place: Runner Up

Average: 4

Ewa is just another case of the “pretty white blonde dragged to the finale that everyone seems to love for whatever reason” alongside Ania, Karolina P, Kasia, Patrycja, and our recent winner Dominika. I was shocked that she even made it into the finale in the first place considering how the judges (especially the host) seemed to hate her. I know that my friends love to shit on her as a forgettable runner up and honestly, I was full on ready to defend her. I liked her look a lot, she may be a typical beauty but her body was just insane and her face has a unique twist to it. I especially like how long her bone structure was and the far apart eyes. She was also tall as shit, she was almost 6 foot for god sake. I expected a lot out of Ewa and while she did exceed my expectations at some parts of the competition, other times she was just straight up forgettable. First, the good but we’ll get to the ugly. I thought her start in the competition was decent but not the best. While her circus shot was underwhelming but not terrible, her nude was actually quite good and definitely underrated by the judges. Her pest was quite forgettable but her war shot alongside Mat M was stellar and personally, her best shot of the shot. Her police is a close second, she looks like a badass and a good turn away from the usual pretty girl look she goes for. She also proved that she can be a natural girl thanks to her natural beauty shots (ignoring the failure of the dramatic shots). While her portfolio before Madrid was ok, I can say that she improved big time by the time they went to Madrid. Her couture is stunning and the 2 finale shots she took are a great telltale on how much she’s improved from her disappointing circus shot to that. Ewa’s best thing is her consistency, which is a key factor considering how inconsistent our cast was besides Daniel and maybe Mat M. Despite her low points (Chef, Dramatic, Windmill), she always was able to stay in the good but not great category of photos. To me really, she never really broke into the great fold since she often played things very safe. She relied more on her pretty than anything which, hey, not a bad thing at all but it ended with all her photos feeling boring and the same. That’s my main issue with her, she wasn’t able to break out of the blonde model stereotype that PNTM has so much of and as the result, she just never stood out to me. Obviously, she was a sweet gal and was so funny but in photos, besides the last few weeks and some expectations, she was always eeh. It’s a shame really, because she was definitely underrated by the judges to the point where I just felt bad for her. Constant bottom 2s, she was called fat by the judges, constantly struggled on set because of the director, and the trashing she got at panels were just sad to watch. It came to the point where when I watched the cycle a year ago, I just skipped panels because of how bad I felt for Ewa whenever we got to the part. Ewa did have a decent walk but it was nothing special, which led to a weaker go-sees booking than the others like Daria and Patryk. It felt nice to see Ewa get to the finales but as a model, she was one of the more forgettable models of the cycle. Her improvement is admirable and it was great to see her overcome the odds. With the judges against her but she was a pretty weak runner up. Her consistency was great but she never was amazing til the end. It’s also a bit of a shame that she wasn’t as successful as she could’ve been, her sick body and unique face is a great stand out but after her time on the show, I understand why she didn’t go on to pursue that dream. She was at least able to keep things consistent so congrats to her on that!

Paultryk Smut

Pt. 2

Paul and Patryk quickly got dressed and walked to Tord's office.

Both red faced, sweating, and reeking of sex, they walked into Tord's office.

"Yes, sir?" They both said in unison. Even though they were caught having sex, they still maintain their posture.

Tord turned in his chair, facing the two, completely flustered.

"What the fuck was that?" He deadpanned.

Paul and Patryk stuttered and tried to come up with an explanation. But nothing could be thought of.

Tord interrupts their spattering, "You two are suspended until further notice. Go to your bunker."

The two guilty men speedily walked out of Tord's office, and to their bunker.

Patryk smiled, looking at Paul from the corner of his eye as they walked.

Paul caught his smile, "What?"

Patryk looked forward, "So how do you want to continue when we get there~?"

Paul forgot for a brief moment that he and Pat shared a bunker. His eyes widened and he played with his hands, trying to think of something to say.

But there was nothing he could say. He just wanted Patryk on him again.

They reached the door. Patryk took out his ID card and swiped it. The door lit a green light, granting access. Patryk walked in first, followed by Paul.

Before the door could automatically shut behind them, Patryk was pushing Paul to his bed, pushing him on his back.

"You ready?" Patryk started to rip Paul's pants off.

Paul let out the breath he was holding in, "Y-Yes, please."

Paul's pants made a light thud as they hit the floor. His aching cock sprang free again, and Paul felt relieved.

Patryk walked to his dresser. He opened the top drawer and pulled out a bottle of lube. Paul felt relieved that Patryk was going to fuck him finally.

Patryk made his way back to Paul, undoing and sliding his pants off in the process. He climbed on top of Paul, burying his face in his neck, leaving kisses.

Paul shivered at the light touch. It felt good, like when a butterfly lands on your nose.

He heard the lube cap snap open, then felt the cold liquid on his asshole. Paul jumped at the coolness of the lube.

Patryk smiled in his neck as he set the bottle aside and reached his hand back down. He used a single finger to rub at Paul's puffy hole.

Paul's breathing became heavier. Patryk was teasing his hole, and he absolutely loved it. His eyes fluttered shut, taking in the sweet sensation.

Patryk pushed in that single finger, making Paul give a small breathy moan. Pat sat up, sitting in between Paul's spread legs. He started to gently finger Paul with that one finger.

Paul bit his lip as Patryk added another finger, stretching him out. He started to gently scissor Paul, spreading his fingers and moving them just about everywhere.

Paul's eyes squeezed shut from the stretch, but he loved the painful sensation. It oddly turned him on even more.

Patryk watched Paul's cock twitch and start to leak precum. He took Paul's cock with his other hand and rubbed his thumb around the head.

"Pat, oh my- nngh~!"

Patryk brushed his fingers along Paul's prostate. When he saw Paul's reaction, he fingered him harder, hitting his spot over and over again.

Paul tried again, "Fuck me, pleaasee~"

Patryk smirked, taking his fingers out of Paul, and grabbing the bottle of lube. He coated his dick with lube, and then put a little bit more on Paul's ready hole.

Paul was patiently waiting for Patryk to fuck him. He felt Patryk's head tease his hole. Paul squirmed and whined, desperately wanting more.

Patryk chuckled at the sight below him, continuing to tease.

Paul bit his lip, his eyes were begging Patryk to put his dick inside him already. But Patryk shook his head no, seeing Paul's hungry eyes and knowing what he wanted.

Paul squeezed his eyes shut, lifting his arms to pull Patryk to him, and then flipping them over.

Now Patryk was laying on his back, a surprised face showing as he processed what had just happened. Paul was on top of him, already lining his hole with Pat's dick. He slowly pushed down, taking deep breaths as his hole stretched more.

Once Paul was fully seated on Patryk, he started to slowly move.

Patryk spoke low, "You're gonna get it now, darling."

"Huh- OH- P-Pat~!"

Paul moaned loudly as Patryk slammed his cock in him. He grabbed into Paul's hips, forcing him to stay down and take it all.

Paul ran his hands through his hair, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.

Patryk continued to pound into Paul, grunting with each thrust and getting out of breath.

Paul grabbed his cock and started to roughtly jerk himself. His moans became more breathtaking as he was getting closer.

Patryk grunted and moaned as his load shot in Paul. Paul felt the warmth run through him, giving him goosebumps.

Patryk continued to fuck Paul, swatting his hand away from his cock and taking it himself.

"Cum for me, Paul."

Patryk rubbed his thumb around the head of Paul's cock while slowly jerking him off.

Paul gasped and screamed Patryk's name as he came, almost hitting Patryk in the face with his seed.

Paul rode out his orgasm, his moans became quieter as he bounced slower.

Once he fully stopped, he crawled off of Patryk, falling over on the bed, catching his breath.

Patryk looked over at him, breathing hard and admiring the cum leaking from Paul's hole.

"Here in a few minutes... let's go take a shower, yeah?" Patryk spoke in between breaths.

Paul gave a shaking thumbs up in response.

Patryk guesses their suspension from work won't be all that bad.

Headcanons!!! For the soldiers?? 🥺

Gonna do Yuu n Yanov bc i don't do those enough.

Yuu Tan

Yuu is alot more dangerous than he looks.

Tord surrounded himself with soldiers that met his expectations of being out of the ordinary since he figured they'd have less loyalty to the military itself and have higher chances of being loyalty to HIM. Picking the odd ones was a start, though even before his take over, he put this into motion (originally they were gathered to soneday become a speciality unit)

Yuu was picked because while he had an unassuming, with being the smallest of them, his obvious speech impediment, and childish baby face, he's also a talented sharp shooter and overall sadist.

Yuu actually takes alot of joy of being sadistic towards people bigger than him or those who try to intimidate him. He's a scary little guy and he would shootout your kneecaps.

Yuu and Anya get along pretty well, they both find eachother comforting, meanwhile Yuu actually doesn't get along too well with Patryk. It's a friend group situation where they HAVE to be friends just because their stuck together.

He just likes being a lil shit to Pat, and Pat finds him VERY aggivatingly. He gets along with Paul though. Yuu finds Paul to be more fun to be around, bc while the guy is a competent and good soldier, he's also a loveable dumbass.

Yanov Novikov

Yanov is the saner of the pair and they balance eachother out. Yanovs father was a policeman and former military man himself, which inspired Yanov to be a medic from how many times he's heard of officers getting injured on sight. As he got older, Yanov developed a more cynical world view, but regardless still became a medic where he met Yuu, after the blond got into a fight with a larger man.

Yanovs parents died awhile ago, his dad died in a shootout and him mom a few years later of a broken heart.

This was just a point where he became cynical, but still sane, and when Tord took over the army (which i guess was a terrorist unit I think. I dunno, i don't think anyone knows XD) he went along because Yuu did. He's never actually liked Tord, be respects him to a degree, but overall, if they didn't have to interact, he'd stay 10 feet away. He just finds him weird.

Yanov like Anya though. The two talk in russian often, and her soft motherly side reminds him of his mother, so he views Anya sorta like a sister at times, even though they weren't especially close. Since Anya doesn't have broad interests, Yanov finds talking about furries one sidedly to be awkward...

Him and Patryk get along find, but he actually prefers Paul's more layedback personality outside of work. Their drinking buddies.

reblogging my old CoP theory posts to tack on my thoughts on CoP2 below

(This is as of chapter nine, where Trystan and the detective visit Juli’s room)

I’m working off the assumption that Juliana and Nadja’s killer are the same person(s). I know Trystan makes several comments about deaths being linked to each of their siblings, but I don’t think the mystery would be as delicious if the women’s deaths weren’t related

in Scooby Doo and a lot of American crime drama, the first person they interview / speak with about the crime is often the murderer (i.e. Bones, Psych, Lucifer, etc), mostly because their latter eps are 45 minutes long and they have to dangle the killer in front of us in at least the first 15 minutes because you can’t always introduce them in the last 15.

going off that, Seb or Lydea could both be considered first since we meet Lydea in NYC and then Seb on the steps (ignoring the possibility that it’s Marguerite, which I would enjoy, but I don’t see PB pulling that)

The only thread I can weave between Juliana and Nadja’s killer being Lydea is that she would be the right age for being Juli’s secret Thorne lover and the surprise Trystan and Olivia (my detective) showed at the appearance of her bedroom. While traditional (which tracks with Lydea’s personality), It was flowery and romantic and thus very offbrand for her.

Other than that, I don’t see any motive for killing Nadja over the Heir bill. Lydea is a legit heir, so unless it’s her wanting to get rid of someone for disrupting the status quo. And Ruby mentioned Nadja’s wounds were messy, and I just think the Captain of the Royal Guard would know the proper way to use a garrote. She also has her dagger with her later at dinner, so minus another suspect point.

Also, it got all confusing with the info dump (and I only played through each chapter once), but I think she did have an alibi for Nadja’s death since she was busy setting up Astrid’s latest scandal.

She could have snuck Nadja in, since she’s the captain, but I also think that any of the Thorne siblings could sneak someone into the palace without Lydea finding out (sorry, big sis).

Suspect level: 🔪🔪

Seb is clearly the red-herring. He’s the person 22 minutes in to this theoretical “episode” that looks guilty but it’s going to be revealed isn’t. He has strong connections to both women and he clearly hates Trystan. If he or his connections were revealed later in the book, then I’d give his theory more credence, but for it to be him would fall very flat. No one wants a whodunit murder story where the very obvious suspect is the “who.”

He is at the right age to be Juli’s past lover, though, and he’s apparently bad at throwing knives, so he stays on the board.

Suspect level: 🔪🔪

Patryk, Emika, and Kaspar are all about the same threat level for me, which is hardly any. For one, they’re all too young to have been Juli’s secret lover (if she was a teenager ((16-19)) when she was writing her smutty letters, I can’t see her addressing them to someone 6-8 years younger ya know).

I think they’re all classic examples of rich people treating the world as their playground, especially since they’re so low on the succession line that they don’t have any responsibilities to the crown. They get to fuck around and be artsy and misunderstood and film tiktok pranks and form pretentious cults. Patryk was introduced later in the book (similar to Tony in book one), but with his age and his ability to only hit the record button, he’s not really a threat.

The twins would kill for each other, sure, but they have no motive and, though Mags talked them up, the only thing we saw was them playing Perez Hilton on twitter. ~Ooh how scary~

All of this takes them all three off the board for me.

Suspect level: 0.5 🔪

That leaves Astrid and Vasili as my top two suspects.

I think it’s very telling that in the throne room scene after Nadja’s death that most of the siblings are paired up (Vasili and Mags looking at security cams, Lydea and Seb practicing dagger throws, etc) but Astrid is on her own (though she’s busy texting her ex or whatever Gregor was). By chapter nine, we don’t see her bonding with any of the others and she’s noticeably upset when they start dinner without her, but the queen doesn’t seem to care.

The line about the Nightingale’s song being a sound of loneliness points me to Astrid. We haven’t gotten a dossier yet on her, but I think she’s old enough to have been Juli’s lover (though her letter being in the stack they find in Juli’s bedroom loses her a point IMO.)

The only points against her are I think she had an alibi for Nadja’s death (when she was at the theater cheating on her bf). She is third in line for the throne, so even if the Heir act fell, she would have to get rid of Lydea as well.

Her connections to the mob might be useful to her, too. And Olivia Nevrakis did say she was a master manipulator.

Suspect level: 🔪🔪🔪🔪

We know that Vasili is used to covering for Trystan, is the right age to have been Juli’s lover, and is a cunning strategist. Though it would be odd that he would want the woman dead who would help him becoming king if the Heir Act passed, maybe there’s a reason for it. Maybe this secret love child (which I’ll put my hat into the ring that it might be Nadja herself, whether she’s aware or not ((because the theory that it’s Juliana is a little too medieval European for me)).) would be ahead of him in line. So he took her out of the picture so someone else would pick up the Heir Act.

Olivia did say that he did not have motive to kill Nadja, but he’s one of the last four siblings (him, Seb, Astrid, and Patryk) we haven’t gotten a dossier on yet.

His alibi for Nadja’s murder is that he was with Mags, but he does say he left a few minutes ahead of her.

Suspect level: 🔪🔪🔪🔪

And I know Eveline isn’t a Thorne sibling, but she’s still up on my sus board. I’ll give her one 🔪 simply because I think it’s weird she lives at the palace. Girl get your man to buy you a cute little penthouse in the city.

Also want to tack on that there is the possibility that two people murdered Nadja together. One more experienced garroted and did the killing, while the other stabbed her PM in an act of passion/anger. Sure, it could be the work of one person (maybe they were angry her death was over too quickly, so they stabbed her again?) but it’s very odd that one murder weapon was left at the scene — even if Kaspar did steal it later — and one was wiped clean and dropped in relatively plain sight.

Could it have been both Vasili and Astrid? She said she lost her dagger, but that could have been a lie. Or a certain someone could have stolen it.

okay I have no real basis for these accusations and I’m just spit balling here but I really, really want

trystan’s sister marguerite to be involved in the cult stuff and/or Juliana’s death

the only instance of her being sus i can pinpoint is her being shocked that they’re using a black light in his apartment to find out the number, and the emphasis on how she came over to the states to keep an eye on trystan

(also every outfit she’s given us has been ugly so I think she could be fucking with us, but that’s neither here nor there)

and when devona says that she likes us more than the other two…

or maybe I’m getting huge [redacted] vibes from the royal masquerade but…. I dunno….

-- THE STEFANEK ORPHANAGE

ACCIDENTAL MUTANT REFUGE

Opened just after the war, Stefanek remains run predominately by former wards to this day, Nina included. One of the first mutant children to enter the building, even in the first few years after her arrival, several others arrived and it became something of an open secret to those living there.

After two years there, Nina started speaking again. And the connections made were instrumental in keeping her powers under control as she didn't want anyone to get hurt by animals getting mixed messages. At fourteen, on an excursion, they ran across a bear and that was the first time she truly and consciously used her gift. Rather than get aggressive, it calmly sat like a dog told to stay.

Severely underfunded by the government, the older children often took on helping run the place and caring for the younger children. Nina stayed until she was twenty, and this wasn't at all unusual.

The opposite of the stereotype of cold and unfriendly, most of the former wards regard their tenure there as the best part of their lives, Nina included; and tend to keep in touch wherever they ended up later, or coming back to either visit or to help out where necessary. Even after relocating across Europe and then across the world, she still comes back at least once a year.

Currently, it's run by Patryk Szemis, a telekinetic and childhood friend of Nina, and houses seventy-eight children-- twelve of which are mutants.
