Request by @parkersbunny76 : Hey do you think you could do a aldan Parker fix where y/n in love with Parker but doesn’t want him to know. Because she believes he is still in love with his ex joy But he also feels the same way but thinks she doesn’t feel the same and and Parker figures it out and confronts reader and has to prove his feelings? Thanks so much

Author's note: this turns out longer than I had planned, and I really hope it did it justice 🥺 (yes, always doubting myself)

Warnings: age gap, mutual pining, girls night out, jealousy, ncis stuff

Believe Me ~ Alden Parker

If you were set on not telling Alden about your feelings for him, after hearing about his first love Joy, you were even more convinced. There was no point in telling him, you'd just make a fool of yourself. Gibbs taught you a lot of things; trusting your guts was the most important. And now, your guts were telling you that Alden Parker was still in love with his ex-girlfriend and had zero interest in you.

Despite Jess and Kasie telling you otherwise, saying that the man was completely smitten, you kept your mouth shut and even took some distance from your team leader. You missed him, and it hurt but you needed to protect your heart - wasn't it too late though?

Before knowing about Joy, you'd hang out with Alden outside of work. You two would go out for drinks, watch games together, talk about music. He even showed you his piano skills and that was when you knew how deeply in love you were with him. You almost leaned in to kiss him then, and it looked like he was leaning to, but before you knew it, he was standing up and asking you if you wanted another drink.

Now, you weren't turning down all of his invites, using work or family obligations. However, Jess told you that he was questioning it. He had asked her if something was wrong with you, if he had done something to upset you. A part of you felt bad, you didn't want him overthinking, but most importantly, you didn't want him to get suspicious. After all, he's an investigator too, he could easily figure it out.

So after some mental preparation, you agreed to grab a drink with him after all. Technically, the whole was invited at first, but Tim had to go to his family, Jimmy and Jess were spending the evening with Victoria, Nick is still recovering with his alcohol issues and can't be in a bar for now. That left Kasie, who somehow had "something" to do - her wink at you wasn't subtle.

If you only had a drink or two, it'd be okay. Too much alcohol would get you to be very honest, and you'd probably spill out everything. You ordered a glass of wine, while Alden went with a beer. It started alright, a bit awkward, but he was doing a good job at making small talk, and avoiding the elephant in the room. You did your best to keep a friendly facade, and not think about how bad you loved and wanted him, or how bad you wanted to ask him about Joy.

But you did have an answer without asking. Alden excused himself when he felt his phone buzzing, and he took it out of his pocket. Sitting on his left, you had a clear view on his screen. You didn't want to look at it, you tried not to but your eyes laid on it and it was the confirmation you needed. Joy was texting him, asking if he'd stop by. He simply answered that he wouldn't, and would talk to her later.

You went to the bathroom, letting the tears that had been threatening. You needed to leave immediately; find whatever pretext, and rush over to Kasie's. You felt so stupid for crying over this man, nothing ever happened with him. It wasn't like he was betraying you but it felt like it.

You were insanely jealous of this woman.

Once you were sure it didn't look like you cried, you got back to Alden and told him you were tired and wanted to go home. He offered to walk you back to the car, but you refused. "It's not like I'm going to stick around." He finished his beer and grabbed his coat. "Let's go."

Luckily the cars were fairly close, so the walk wasn't long. It was very awkward though, Alden wanted to make sure you'd eat, so he offered if you wanted to stop at the food joint across the street. "I got food at home. I'm sure it's not too late for you to go to Joy's."

"I-I'm not--" you didn't want to hear any explanations or excuses, so you quickly got into your car and left.

You knew you were being unfair to him, he didn't deserve this but you couldn't help it. Spending the night at Kasie's, you cried some more and felt sorry for yourself. Thank god, she's your best friend.

Alden was getting tired of this. At first, he didn't understand what was going on, why you were shutting him out like this. He asked every member of the team, and it was obvious that they were holding back. They knew why you were acting like this, but they didn't want to betray you. The most infuriating was that he was so in love with you, it hurt to feel rejected. Especially after all those moments together, which meant a lot to Alden. He remembered that time he played piano for you, something he's never done with anyone before. He wanted to kiss you, and do more things. But he was scared. Scared of being rejected, that you'd want just something physical, scared of getting his heart broken again. You were younger, and he felt like you'd waste your time with an old man like him.

After that comment you made about Joy, Alden started to think that maybe you had actual feelings for him. It totally sounded like jealousy and it'd be the only explanation. But he couldn't quite believe it. In his mind, a pretty young woman like you would never fall in love with an old man like him.

But you weren't like any other woman.

You and Kasie have had a traditional girls night out at least every other week and Jess quickly took a part of those nights after she joined the team. Ever since it became common knowledge, Jimmy had been trying to get in, at least once. You always turned him down, it became kind of a running gag. Now that Jimmy was dating Jess, she was on his side and tried to convince you and Kasie to let him in.

Eventually, you caved in. "I love you, I love you, I love you." Jimmy shouted, running over to you and kissing your face. You laughed, trying to get out of his grip - technically you could but didn't want to hurt sweet Palmer.

"What's going on here?" Nick asked for everyone.

"I am officially welcomed in girls night out."

"Just tonight." You pointed.

"After four years, you finally made it!" Tim laughed.

"I arranged everything. Vic is staying at her friend's house, and we're all sleeping at my place."

"We are?"

"Yup. Let's get crazy!"

Accepting him created a monster.

~

Alden's plan formed shortly after Jimmy left the bullpen. Later in the day, he went down to autopsy with a coffee and a pastry. "Oh, what's that for?" Jimmy welcomed the treat with a smile.

"A bribery."

"At least, you're honest. What can I do for you?"

"Where are you guys going tonight?"

Jimmy stayed silent for a moment, trying to figure out why Alden was asking this. "I need to have a talk with her, Jimmy. And she's avoiding me."

"And you think she'll talk after you crash the girls night out?"

"I could be where you guys are. Simple coincidence." Jimmy immediately gave him a glare, but Alden brushed it off. "And you convince them to let me hang out with you."

"Parker, it took me four years to convince them to let me go out with them just once."

"Ah come on. Help me out here."

"Only if you are honest with me."

"Shoot."

"Do you have serious feelings for her?"

Alden didn't even need to say a word, his face and eyes spoke for themselves.

A night out with your friends was exactly what you needed. Drinking, dancing, laughing and forgetting about Alden. You decided to wear a sexy black dress with some boots. You did your makeup and hair more nicely than you usually do. You didn't want to hook up with a random guy, but it'd be nice to flirt and dance with one.

It started out great, you were on your second drink while everyone was finishing their first. They all were making a point of not talking about him, or even about work. You noticed a cute guy looking several times at you and smiling. You smiled back, because why not?

"Oh dear god." Jess said, looking over your shoulder.

Puzzled, you turned around to see him. Alden Parker was there and walked right to the table. "Hey guys!"

You were staring at his beautiful face, with the urge of kissing him and screaming at him for being there and ruining your night. Your Alden free night.

"Parker, what are you doing here?" Kasie asked.

"Can I join?" He avoided her question and he was already sitting next to you.

You were ready to get out of here when your eyes dropped on Jimmy, who looked very guilty. "You dickhead!" You shouted at him.

"Told you." He said to Alden before looking at you. "Look I'm sorry--"

"Forget it." You stood up and rushed over to the bar. Waiting for the bartender to spot you, the man who had been smiling at you stood by your right.

"Hello there." He said with the most charming British accent. Screw Alden. You smiled at the man.

"Hi."

"I was waiting for the moment you'd finally be alone. Not to be creepy, I just didn't want to make a fool of myself in front of your friends." He laughed, "Can I offer you a drink?"

"Sure. Don't worry, you're not making a fool of yourself."

"Good, can I keep you to myself for a few minutes then?"

"Absolutely. I'm sure you can save my night."

You don't know how long you stayed with this man, just talking and getting to know each other. Going back to the table where Alden was didn't sound appealing at all. But of course, he eventually found his way to you.

"I'm busy, Parker." You said before he could speak a word. So instead of talking, he simply grabbed your hand and made you follow him outside. "What the fuck!"

He stood on the sidewalk, crossed arms and was clearly angry. "I'm done playing this game, Y/N. We talk now, once and for all. And if you want to go to your boy toy, I promise I won't hold you back."

"What game are you talking about?"

"You avoiding me like the plague ever since you learned about Joy." You immediately looked down at your feet, but Alden held your chin and made you look back up. "I don't know what you created in your mind, but I'm not seeing her. And I won't. I already got someone who made herself very comfortable in my mind and my heart."

"Who?" You shyly asked, not believing what he was saying.

"Who?" He sarcastically laughed. "You, for god sakes! It's been you ever since I walked into that damn building. And being turned down, even as a friend, hurts pretty bad. Cause I want you in my life, whatever way you want. But I got a feeling that's what you want too cause why else would you be jealous?"

"Who said I was jealous?"

"Well, aren't you?" You started to look down again but Alden immediately caught your chin and took a step closer. "Don't break eye contact with me, sweetheart. Talk to me, tell me if I'm completely off based here --"

"You're not!" You breathed out and a single tear left your eye. "You're right. I was-- I am jealous. Because you clearly still love her and--"

"I don't. Why are you so sure about that?"

"My guts. And the texts last week."

"I admit she--would like to give me and her a chance, but I'm not interested. I told her so." He brushed the tear off the corner of your mouth, his thumb roaming over your lips. "I want you." He whispered.

You wrapped your arms over his neck, nose brushing against each other and lips dangerously close together. "I want to believe you, but-"

Alden caved in. He couldn't be so close to you and not kiss you, know the taste of your lips. It was extremely gentle and slow, clearly giving you time to pull away if you wanted, but you couldn't. You simply closed your eyes and opened your mouth to grant him access.

Unfortunately, he pulled away when he felt eyes on the two of you. Jimmy immediately got back inside when he got caught, but his grin didn't go unnoticed. "Let me take you on a date and make you believe me."

"No. I'll go on a date with you once I believe you."

Alden agreed and he started that same night. After going back inside, where everyone already knew about the kiss but didn't say a word, he didn't leave your side. Flirted with you the rest of the night, inviting you to dance even if he was self conscious about his dancing skills. He looked several times to the man you had been talking to, making sure he knew you were not available.

He drove you home, and helped you to the apartment as you were quite drunk. You were very touchy with him, and he loved every second of it but still acted like a true gentleman. When you woke up, your phone was plugged in, there was some aspirin and a glass of water with a note stuck to it on the nightstand. The note read: "I'll stop by around 10 with breakfast. Hope you slept well. -A"

He obviously did as he said; bringing all your favorite things for your favorite place at 10 exactly. He left right away, saying that he had to visit his dad like every Sunday, but not before repeating what he said a few hours ago. He even went further and admitted he had true and deep feelings for you.

Following that, Alden did at least one thing for you every day to prove his point. Offering you a single red rose, setting up a plant at your desk, bringing your fav pastries, telling you how beautiful and smart you were, he was even praising you in front of the team.

But the most meaningful thing to you was the one he didn't plan or think of. While working on a new case, he offered himself on a silver platter to the suspect, in order to save you. It didn't work at first as the man noticed how much Alden cared for you. "You're right, man. This woman does mean the world to me, so much that I'm willing to die for her. But I'm also willing to do anything to finally have my first date with her, which means that whatever you need, I'll give it to you so we can both get out of here alive. I'm not sure she'd do the same for me, so it'd be more beneficial for you to take me and let her go."

You wanted to kiss him here and there, beg him to take you on a date, despite the gun pressing your temple. "I'm older, I worked for the FBI before, so I know a lot more people than her who can help. But let me be clear, if you kill her- you won't get anything from me, except for a bullet in your head. But you don't want to die, otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation. So, what's going to be?"

Somehow, Alden's trick worked. "I love you." He mouthed as he followed the suspect instructions and got away from you.

The following hours were a nightmare, you were more than scared about never seeing his pretty face again, and not having the opportunity to tell him exactly how you felt, and have more time with the man you love.

When you saw him again, unarmed, you rushed into his arms and didn't think twice. "I love you too."

Rumor has it that they are an 903 year old DRAGON, who is one of the RETURNED but we’ll keep that a secret. They are said to be FEARSOME, but that’s all a façade to cover up their WISE nature. We’ve heard that they can be found listening to LISTEN TO THE WIND by KARLIENE, which sums them up pretty well. Let’s hope that they can find a way to survive this harsh new world.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒: death tw

𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘:

In the days of old, Zeraphine found fascination with humanity, and they welcomed her with open arms. The power was valued, revered, and she lived among them as near royalty. Yet, time is cruel, and humanity more so. She could not bear their constant wars and violence, taking solace only in the company of her brothers. Storing up her treasures in a secret place, it built higher and higher around her until it was her fortress of safety.

For centuries, she lingered more in her dragon form more than her human one. If only they had left her alone...she'd have been content all her days.

The legends, the myths invited curiosity, invasion, and the war she sought to avoid came to find her. She protected what was hers with a ferocity that made her death the conquest of many, and yet, she survived. Until...

Near a century ago, her neck was struck, and she fell. Her eyes shut, and she found peace, a wondering why she'd ever fought so hard to remain on this earth. Yet again, she found her life in another twist. The downpour of rain welcomed her back to the earth that had made her more story than woman.

Leaving the city, she had sought to find the treasure she lost upon her death, but time is cruel. Or is it? Her absence was not long, but perhaps she has found the far more valuable thing, something that has led her back to the city she had first stepped through.

𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍'𝐒: ⭒ She loves to sing in the comfort of her home, but you might have difficulty catching her doing it in public ⭒ Her eyes are drawn to shiny things, and sometimes she takes them...without asking. Building her collection of treasures back up might take another 900 years, but she will try. ⭒ She knows she needs a job because things here cost money, and she's been dead for a hundred years and was unable to locate what is billions in accumulated treasure. She's not happy about it. The richest poor girl you'll ever meet. ⭒ more tbd.

Changes tag game

Thanks for tagging me, @desperatlytryingtowriteabook, this seems fun!

Rules: Share a few changes that occured between your first ideas for your WIP and what you have for it now, be it a finished piece or still in progress.

Allastra

- Each character had a different magical power.

- Elysa’s name was Adea. Felt lackluster.

- The main characters were the gradchildren of the current ones! I quickly realized I liked the previous generations more.

- Darren got a scar that went across his face from left temple to right side of the jaw. I removed it, but I added some others.

- Aldan was much more of a fighter; now he’s someone who prefers to keep his hands clean.

TINM

- The whole thing was originally set in Seattle, now it’s in New York City. Mostly because I actually know NY.

- Mary’s relationship with William ended very differently.

- Dree's name was always short for something; except instead of Audrey it was Gabe for Gabriella.

- Caleb and Mary had another uncle, Alexander. I removed him because his story was too dark to be only a minor subplot.

- David's family name was Shroke. I changed it because one of my friends told me it sounded like Shrek and I haven’t been able to unhear it. Also he was white, instead of half-Cambodean like now.

A SHOW OF UNITY AND STRENGTH: QUEEN EMILIA AND DAUGHTERS VISIT BRINDLETON HARBOUR MUSEUM

Her Majesty and her two daughters, Crown Princess Anya and Princess Ingrid had a joint engagement this morning -  a visit to the historic Brindleton Harbour Museum.

The outing is in line with the museum’s upcoming centenary, as well as an upcoming exhibit dedicated to the historic Brindleton Expedition, led by famed explorer Aldan Friedman Glen. The museum is working hand-in-hand with The Brindleton Historical Society, of which The Crown Princess serves as Royal Patron.

The outing marks the first time any member of the Royal Family has gone out following yesterday’s official rebuke concerning rumours surrounding The Crown Princess. The strongly-worded statement seems to have successfully quelled the uproar surrounding Her Royal Highness. 

However, it seems as though that some damage has been done. The outing started out “tense” as one onlooker shares: “It was obvious that The Crown Princess was a little tense and nervous. She smiled and waved, but you know she was a little upset, no doubt afraid that the public has turned on her. But when they exited, you can see that she’s visibly become more comfortable.” Perhaps her little sister had something to do with it! 

Princess Ingrid was photographed engaging her big sister in conversation several times during the outing. The two, despite their age gap, reportedly have a very close relationship. A source shares that while Eleanore’s closet is off-limits to anyone else, Ingrid loves raiding Anya’s closet, and Anya doesn’t mind one bit. 

The source further shares: “Ingrid has always been the peacekeeper of the household. Every time things get tense, she and her brother, Prince Nicky, come up with the wildest, funniest things to say, and suddenly, everyone’s forgotten whatever it is they’ve been arguing about. Those two are such adorable ‘clowns,’ much to their parents’ delight.” 

The outing is also the first after last night’s “Eleanore Meltdown,” as dubbed by netizens, referring to Princess Eleanore’s most-recent unfortunate outing. As expected, there was no mention of the matter during today’s engagement, and it’s quite interesting to note that the Royals skipped the usual meet-and-greet during the walkabout. Although HM and TRH’s did their usual walk and wave routine, they didn’t engage in conversation with the crowd.

One palace insider spills: “Even if last night’s mess is still quite fresh, The Queen didn’t want to cancel this outing because it would only cause more rumours and more speculation. She committed to this engagement months ago, and she tries her best to keep her appointments. But there were a few changes to this outing. What was supposed to be a solo engagement, however, was changed to accommodate Anya. The Queen wanted the public to see that she hasn’t lost faith in her eldest child. Princess Ingrid happened to be in town from uni and wanted to see the boats near the harbour, so she asked her mum if she could also tag along, and she said ‘yes.’ HM also requested that the walkabout this time be quick and short.”

(Above: HM and TRH’s graced the museum’s famed balcony that offers sweeping views of the harbour. 

Below: visitors frequent the museum not just to gawk at its priceless display, but to take in the view of the harbour.)

The mother-and-daughters trio looked picture perfect in their seemingly colour-coordinated outfits. 

The Crown Princess wore a blue belted wrap dress with white detailing, which had a nautical vibe to it. Her Royal Highness paired the dress with black strappy wedges, and a matching marble-print clutch. HRH also accessorised with gold bangles, a pearl watch, drop pearl earrings, a tiered necklace, and her “lucky” diamond floral ring. 

Also in a nautical themed dress? The Queen’s youngest daughter, Princess Ingrid. The royal teen wore a nautical-themed fit and flare dress with white, blue, and red accents. If it looks familiar, it’s because she’s already worn it before during her birthday photoshoot with Prince Nicky. She completed her adorable ensemble with black tights and black Mary Jane flats. HRH also wore her blonde hair in a half-up-half-down ‘do, which perfectly showcased an adorable pair of gold pearl and diamond tiara earrings fit for a princess!

Last but certainly not the least, we have Her Majesty, who also wore a re-wear: her navy blue boat neck, long sleeved belted dress, which she wore during an investiture some time ago. She kept things simple in the shoe department with her trusty black pumps. She finished her look with Queen Ophelia’s ruby and pearl earrings, a multi-gem gold choker (reportedly a birthday present from Prince Jacques), diamond and sapphire bracelets, and her wedding band and engagement ring.

We’re hoping for more sightings of these three beautiful royal ladies in the future!

RQOTD: What is a random fact or piece of information about your story that you have been wanting to share but haven’t had a reason to share it?

hello anon thank you so much for the question!

here are some various random facts about the montolvo's universe:

Vampires, witches, and humans aren't the only beings within the Montolvo universe. The three are the most relevant to the Montolvo's story however so we won't be seeing many others. Without spoiling who (because I do want to get to their stories eventually), there is 1 werewolf hybrid who has already been introduced in the story. There is 1 mermaid who will be showing up within one of The Families of New Brando stories.

The Council members in particular have a lot of lore that probably won't ever be brought up naturally in the story. Orville, for example, was a pirate and he has a husband named Aldan, who works as an ambassador for New Brando. Orville is very private and protective of his family however, so they don't live in New Brando. Felix is from Australia and is the youngest of all the Council members, and he was also best friends with Marcus before they had a falling out.

joseph aldane, b. 23 june 1956 ➝ husband of evangeline aldane (née selwyn) , father to henri and josephine aldane

[kronsela]

( howard charles, cis man, he/him, 37 ) ** ♔ announcing IFE ROHAN ADIO MAOCHA ALDANE CASIM OF MYRIE,  the SELLSWORD from POLAND ! upon closer look, they resemble HOWARD CHARLES. it is a miracle that HE survived the last five years, considering they are SOLEMN, HARDY, and DISTRUSTFUL. i hope the plague has not changed them. they are AGAINST working together with the other kingdoms. ( kat, she/her, 22, est )

casim was raised in a noble family in a small, autonomous city where his family helped to rule for centuries, originally named ife rohan adio maocha aldane, a duke in his own right.

when he was 20, he left his home to create a legacy as a knight with a mentor, learning the way of the sword as well as the duty that came with it.

but at the age of 25, the city he called his home was overrun and his family was killed, the city absorbed into the neighboring country that had invaded. his sister went missing during the invasion and was presumed dead.

casim abandoned his duty as a knight to go find her, searching every inch of the country to which she may have fled. due to abandoning his duty, he is now a wanted man and rebrands himself as casim, a name meaning the one who distributes, and becomes a sellsword to support his travels and help those he sees along the way.

after many years of searching, he becomes disillusioned, but nothing solidifies that more than the plague. since he was a traveler, he was especially at risk, and the lawlessness that countries descended into during the plague made it difficult for him to find work.

as the plague ended, casim heard of a place independent of poland where no royals ruled. a city where he could blend into the populace, find ample work, and possibly maintain a small home, but continue to search for his sister. as a wanted royal, there is no place safer for her to go than the free city of gdansk.

casim traveled to gdansk, but was intercepted by men working for the king of poland. the king has a job for him that will pay more handsomely than he expected, and gold like that is too good to ignore. casim decides to travel with the king to france, offering his services for whatever the king may need.

SOME THINGS OF NOTE

he has a trained crow as a pet that sends letters and fetches things for him

casim has many scars, the most notable being the large scar across his face from an axe wound when he was 28

he has not bought new clothing since before the plague, but was recently outfitted by the polish crown

a man of few words, he mostly stares blankly and occasionally offers short, terse answers.

casim fights with dual swords: a rapier and a short sword.

he’s basically geralt.

actually, he just is geralt.

i play two henry cavill vehicles.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

someone who requires his services for any reason. while he’s employed by the polish king, he’s not beneath taking on more jobs. assassinations, body guard positions, surveillance, he’ll do it all.

a courtesan he uses to blow off steam with.

someone who knows anything about his missing sister, who would be in her 20s now.

[JACOB ELORDI | TWENTY-THREE | HE/HIM | CIS MAN] if it isn’t MILES ALDAN ! you know, MILES ! they’ve lived in monarda for FOUR MONTHS. some people say that they’re VENTURESOME & DETERMINED, but that they can also be GUARDED & UNPREDICTABLE. last i heard, they were working at THE MONARDA CAFE as a WAITER ! i’ve also heard the rumor that they’re a HUMAN. if you’d ask me, they remind me of LONG DRIVES, LOUD MUSIC, LATE NIGHTS ! i wonder what monarda’s got in store for them today!

tw death mention

ok so i have some random info filled out for him here but here is some actual backstory:

he had a pretty average middle class american childhood (or so tv tells me) his parents were together, he had a younger sister, and they all had a golden retriever 

that changed when he was 12 though and there was an accident where his sister ended up passing away and he blames himself for it 

his family came apart at the seams after that his dad left and moved on and started a new family and miles was left with his mom who was no longer in a good position to take care of him

inevitably he ended up going into foster care and he did not do well in it 

as soon as he was able to leave he did and he has pretty much been on his own ever since 

he travels a lot and doesn’t tend to stay in one place for long

when he gets bored of a place he packs up and goes somewhere else and starts his life there until he gets bored and the cycle repeats

but he’s been in monarda for 4 months now 

this does also mean he’s still mostly oblivious to the witch stuff 

he does not believe in the supernatural but i’m sure this will change quickly lol

as for his personality he is a generally bright person he is very social and loves to be around other people so he tends to make friends wherever he goes 

however most of these friendships tend to be rather shallow in that he doesn’t actually tell anyone important things about himself or let people get too close 

this stems from a fear of them deciding to dislike him if they really know him so he hides behind a façade so he cannot get hurt 

but yes he’s easy to get along with and he loves a good time parties bar nights any sort of social gathering and he will be there 

he’s also super romantic but tends to have an idealized idea of love which often makes his crushes and relationships unsustainable in the long run 

he can be super unpredictable although this may somewhat stem from others not really knowing him can’t be predicted if you can’t be understood in the first place or something

anyways yes he’s outgoing and loves to make friends 

i think i’ve covered it 

i made a page of wanted connection ideas here if you’re interested!

“You seem a bit harried this morning, Captain,” her majesty commented as Bevren entered.

Bevren laughed as he handed her a stack of dispatches from Captain Aldan’s training camps. He thought he’d hidden his frustration pretty well—he should have expected Queen Viarra would pick up on it regardless.

“My wife’s mother is staying with us, spending a few days with her granddaughters,” he informed her. “She and I… have rarely gotten along well.”

Her majesty nodded as she sipped her tea and skimmed over the dispatches. “Didn’t you tell me her sister is married into [the late] Tetrarch Olwen’s family?”

“Indeed,” Bevren nodded grimly, “which only gives the old broad more reason to hate me. I don’t think my mother-in-law has ever referred to me by name. For years I was ‘that damned infantry thug’ that her daughter married. Since coming into your service I’m now ‘the she-tyrant’s little henchman.’”

“I can have her hanged as a dissenter if you’d like,” Queen Viarra offered, her voice neutral as she continued to read the reports.

Bevren snorted and grinned slightly. “Thanks, but she’s my problem, you don’t need to get involved.”

“It’s up to you,” her majesty shrugged.

[thcskeptic]

/Hello again! Here’s some stuff about him and like this if you want to plot and I will message you!

(JACOB ELORDI, 23, CIS MAN, HE/HIM) ⮕ Hey, isn’t that [MILES ALDAN]? I heard that they were a part of the crew. According to the wiki it says they’re the [SKEPTIC] of the group. Avid fans say that they’re [OUTGOING], but that they can also be [STUBBORN]. Maybe that’s because they’re a [TAURUS]. This gossip forum says they joined the group because [IT GAVE HIM SOMETHING TO DO FOR FUN]. I wonder if that’s true. I also heard they [DO NOT] believe in ghosts. I wonder if their time in arcane inc will change that.

TW: DEATH MENTION

He had a pretty average life until he was like 12 

Then his sister died in an accident he blames himself for to this day

And his family fell apart his dad left and his mom couldn’t take care of him

So he went into foster care when he was like 14 

Bounced around a lot and had to repeat 9th grade

After which he just dropped out of school and kinda ran away 

Started bouncing around from friends houses instead moved around a lot 

So he was always kind of a person who liked to move around 

Which is why the group suited him

It was just something to do to pass the time for him

Then they started getting paid for it so he really likes that aspect of it too 

Anyways yeah he is the skeptic because he does not believe in ghosts or an afterlife or any of that 

He thinks there’s just life and then there’s nothing

He will be trying to explain away anything that does happen 

Other than that though he is generally easy to get along with 

He is a bit of a people pleaser he will say things just to make other people happy even if he doesn’t believe them (except for his insistence that ghosts are not real he will be standing by that one) 

He is also a thrill seeker type of person will do anything for the fun of it 

Also has a lot of hedonistic tendencies he loves to party and drink and all that 

He also loves to be around people and with people, but he has a bit of a hard time making deep connections

When people get too close he tends to push them away because he’s scared of caring about them and then being abandoned by them 

Basically abandonment issues because of his parents

He is great and shallow connections with other people though he is the type of person who would have a lot of kinda friends rather than a small group of close friends 

He is very outgoing loves to talk and be talked too super extroverted to the point of rarely being alone 

That’s pretty much all I can think of right now we will learn more as we go along lol

Idea that will NEVER See the Light of Day!

Okay, so, I’m going through a FUNK right now!  So, I’m just going to put all my ideas that are going through my head and the ones that I actually written down here.  Feel free to use any of them! Just tag me if ya do so I can R&R!

Art Ideas:

My Creative Buddies/Multi-Fandom Fiends as Yugioh Cards:

Okay, so I’ve kinda have some inspiration! A while ago I posted that I’ve been going through somethings and needed a distraction. Someone reached out and gave me an Art Request! I’m going to do it! I just need kick myself to get going! The Art Request is Joey Wheeler from Yugioh in Prince Aldan’s Costume from Disney’s Aladdin.

The idea and inspiration is draw all of my Creative Buddies (Mutals) and my Multi-Fandom Fiends as Yugioh Cards! And have a little text about the cards. Their special Attacks/Abilities, which cards go great with them.

Don’t Draw Chase!:

This is a two parter!

Part 1:  I do the little challenge/tag reblog of my drawing Chase and then gets transported to where Chase got transported too

Part 2:  I draw my Creative Buddies/Multi-Fandom Fiends who are Artists, drawing Chase and then they get transported to where Chase gets transported too! The Plot Twist is that they call me up wanting to know if I can help them get back, only for me to find out that they somehow got transported into a story or comic that I was working on!

Animal AU:  This is based on @septic-dr-schneep​​ Animal AU.  The Egos as Animals! I want to draw JJ as a Rabbit thumping his big paw in Morse Code. Something like this, thumpthumpthump Thump Thump Thump  thumpthumpthump.  SOS

I’m planning on drawing all the Egos as the different Animals that I want to draw them as in the Animal AU that’s probably never going to see the light of day of me writing it!

JJ as a Rabbit.  Chase as a Golden Retriever.  Schneep as an Owl.  Marvin as a Cat or something in the feline family.  Jackie as Service Dog.  Anti as a Buzzer/Vulture something along those lines.

Draw this in Your Own Style:  I don’t think this is going to happen.  Mainly, b/c I don’t have my own style or I just don’t know what my style is!  I wanted to draw one of @huffletrax​ Marvin’s Drawings.  This might come around, when I get myself to stop staring at a blank screen or wasting time scrolling through Reddit or Tumblr and actually do something!

Fantasy AU:  Inspired by @rogue-of-broken-time​'s Fantasy AU.  I'm not sure if I'll ever get to draw this!

I want to draw like a mini comic or something.  You're walking along a path in the woods to find someone.  It's getting pretty dark, and you have no idea where to go or what's actually out here.  You see tiny little lights and then you see a floating eyeball?!  The green floating eyeball waves it's tail at you to follow it.  It leads down the path and then off the path to clearing.  There you see the person who you've been searching for!

"Ah, I see you found them, Sam!  Come in, come in!  Have a seat!"  The person points to one of the stones to sit on.  "So, what can I do for ya?" You hand them a scroll that King has order you, the Royal Scribe to give to them.  "Ah, so you want to know what actually happened?  You're the Royal Scribe?  The one to keep all the records?  I see.  Well, I can help you!  I know what did happen all to well."  They look off into the distance for some time.  "My name's Rogue and I'll tell you the tale."

Writing Ideas:

Animal AU:  This based on @septic-dr-schneep's Animal AU.  Thank You Rilia for the inspiration but I'm sorry that I won't be able to write anytime soon!

WELCOME TO THE DEN, HERE’S YOUR FILE  ╱  LUKE HEMMINGS. CISMALE. HE/HIM.  ╱ MILES ALDAN is TWENTY-THREE years old and they have made their way to fame by becoming a MUSICIAN. the situation that got them put the den was NOT SHOWING UP TO HIS OWN TOUR DATES. hopefully they can clean up their image before they lose everything.

Like this if you’d like to plot and I will come to you!

There’s some basic info about him under the cut:

Miles had a pretty normal childhood until he was around 12

TW: Death, drowning

At his 12th birthday party they were trying to celebrate via barbecue in the park and his parents told him to watch his sister while they unpacked the car

He did not watch his sister

She fell into the river and couldn’t swim

When he realized he jumped in trying to save her but he also could not swim

By the time his parents saw them and ran over it was too late for his sister

He blames himself for that

END OF THAT TW

His family fell apart shortly after that. His dad left and his mom was never quite herself again. 

He ended up in foster care after about a year of that 

He hated foster care though and left it to go hide away with friends instead

Moved around a lot because of that 

Never really meant to become a singer/musician but it was the only thing he was truly passionate about, and he was good at it, so

Didn’t have to pursue the career for long before people started to pay attention 

Now it’s actually a pretty good paying job for him, but of course, it comes with downsides 

He is a very private person and doesn’t really like the aspect of everything about him being googleable 

But mostly he enjoys it 

He’s generally a hard worker, which is why his scandal was so surprising. He had never missed or been late for tour dates before 

TW: Alcoholism

It’s because he developed some unhealthy coping mechanisms as a child 

That being alcoholism

Normally he’s pretty high functioning despite that

But recently it’s really been getting to him all the pressure and everything that comes with the business so he’s getting worse

Hence the missed shows 

But almost no one knows this about him. Even if they’re close to him. He refuses to admit that he has a problem even though he knows it’s not normal or okay for him to be doing all that 

END OF THAT TW

Generally, Miles is a laid back person, but he’s not afraid to fight if something really bothers him 

He tries to be as funny as possible, mostly at the expense of himself

But don’t let that fool you he is very confident in himself, especially in regards to his appearance the only thing he’s actually insecure about is that he thinks he’s not that smart due to dropping out of high school 

He kinda comes off like he has the emotional range of a chair

On the other hand he kind of clings to people because he’s scared of abandonment, but also always thinks he’s going to be hurt so distances himself. Emotionally distant, physically clingy 

Lowkey a sadboi but doesn’t really realize it yet, he just thinks everyone feels like shit all the time and it’s normal 

Curses too much

Jokes too much

I can’t think of anything else to add at the moment so I suppose this is the end
