[cdroloisms]

do i even wanna know what the 7y!wilbur au is

my tag for seven years AU is right here -- there's a lot that's been uh gatekept a little bit but it's an AU i have with bubbles @judgehangman that's well . it's funny it's fucked up it's canon a little bit to the left but also upside down. feel free to ask me abt it any time tho i am ALWAYS always down to talk about AUs always they just run around in my head all day

here's a post outlining the timeline of major events -- it's a bit scuffed, i did the math really quickly, but it gets the job done. and here's an ask bubbles answered about the original situation that created this whole thing in the first place.

the tl;dr of the 7y AU has a lot to do with the stupid nonsense that is traditional for this fandom. Basically, based on something cc!wilbur said about how he originally envisioned the ages of different characters in L'manburg way back in ye olden days of uhh honestly i forget--2021, i think, cc!Wilbur had commented on how in his original envisonment of L'manburg, c!Wilbur was in his early 30s, c!Fundy was 14, and c!Tommy and c!Tubbo were both around 20. Of course, the fandom being the fandom, they took the math of "c!Fundy is 14" to backdate c!Tommy as being nine during the L'manburg war of independence, and this was naturally used to create all sorts of c!tommy angst yadayadayada (while somehow everyone managed to forget that uh if this timeline holds true then ? it would also apply to the rest of the characters that Aren't L'manburg????)

it turned into this thing where people would say "tommy was NINE in the l'manburg revolution and he was BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERED by dream smp the TRAUMA" etc and that in itself led to "tommy was nine" being a bit of a meme. of course, being the way that i am, i started down a rabbit hole of taking "tommy was nine" to its logical extreme--and you know, sooner or later bubbles and i ended up with this monstrosity and its like five branching alternate timelines, awesome

the basic premise of the AU is very, very simple. tommy was nine during the revolution, dream was 14, wilbur was 25. the events on the dream smp that take place between wilbur's joining the server and creating the drug van to november 16th, a space of a few months irl, all end up being spread out over seven years of time in this AU--hence its name. bc of the nature of its creation it's an AU with an interesting relationship with both fanon and canon, playing off of and taking elements from both in interesting ways. and also there's c!dreambur.

it's fun :)

In Merlin's chambers.

Merlin: (pacing, anxious and worried)

Gaius: (enters)

Merlin: (turns to Gaius quickly) How is he? Is he going to be okay?

Gaius: (serious) The King had a seizure, but he's stable now. He should be awake by tomorrow morning.

Merlin: (sighs in relief) Thank the gods!

Gaius: Now sit down (takes Merlin to the bed and sits him) I need to check your bruise.

Merlin: There's no need. It's not serious.

Gaius: (sharply) I know. But these are Prince's orders. (Checks Merlin's cheek) It's a bit swollen, but you'll live. (Puts ointment on the bruise) This should do. Now... (Very serious) What happened?

Merlin: (ashamed) I... I think I pissed him off so bad he collapsed.

Gaius: I figured, Merlin. Uther hit you. It's not difficult to put two and two together. What I need to know is WHAT did you do to piss Uther off so bad he collapsed.

Merlin: (more ashamed, mumbles) I...deny but-then he-and I...

Gaius: Merlin I need every detail, word by word what exactly did you tell the King, so I can find a way to defend you.

Merlin tells him exactly what happened and Gaius hears every word patiently, even when he feels the need to yell at Merlin every 30 seconds for how insolent and reckless Merlin had been.

Gaius: (after Merlin finishes) Alright... There's no way to defend you.

Merlin: What?! 😰

Gaius: You did not only defy the King's authority and raise your voice at him, you mocked him and insulted him! What were you thinking?!😡

Merlin: I don't know! I did what you said: deny, be submissive, be respectful, but he still believed I was guilty and then he said he would send me away from Arthur and I just... got mad!

Gaius: You should've been grateful Uther just wanted to send you away! You'll be lucky if he even grants you a quick and painless death now! You think that Uther is Arthur and will put up with your disrespect? He is the King!

Merlin: I know! I just.. forgot it for a moment. (sighs) I'll pack my things.

Gaius: Why?

Merlin: You said there was no way to defend me, so I'm leaving, like Uther sentenced.

Gaius: (lets out a dry laugh) You really don't get it, do you?

Merlin: (confused) What?

Gaius: How bad you really messed up! (stands up abruptly and moves his hands around as he talks in distress) When I told you'll be lucky if Uther grants a quick and painless death now, I meant it! Everyone thinks you tried to kill the King! And, honestly, I don't blame them. You were alone with the King when he "fainted" and have a fighting mark on your face. If I didn't know you, I would've believe it too. And you do realise that's the worst crime someone can be accused of, right?

Merlin: (pales) But I didn't-And Uther knows I-

Gaius: You think that with how paranoid he has been he won't think you provoque this seizure on him on purpose?

Merlin: ...

Gaius: Once Uther wakes up, you'll be enemy of the crown. You'll be hunted down so bad, not even outside Camelot you'll be safe. And when they get you... (his voice wavers, not able to say it, and sits on the bed again, defeated)

Merlin: But... I'm sure Arthur can do some-

Gaius: Arthur! Even he understands the gravity of the situation more than you do. Do you know where is the prince now?

Merlin: Looking after his father. Where else could he be?

Gaius: ...

Merlin: That's where he is, right?

Gaius: ...

Merlin: Gaius, where is Arthur?

Arthur in a reunion with all his Knights.

Arthur: I won't force you to participate. If your loyalty lays more with Uther than with me, I completely understand. He is still the King after all. But I need to know who will be on my side.

Merlin: (enters) Arthur! (runs to him)

Sir Innprudence: (murmurs) The apple of discord has arrived.

Sir Leon: (hits him, whispering) Silence!

Merlin: Tell me is not truth. Tell me you are not planning to overthrow the king!

Arthur: Alright, I won't tell you.

Merlin: Arthur!

Sir Ewan: (murmuring) Like he didn't plan this from the beginning.

Sir Leon: (whispers) Really? You too?

Sir Ewan: (whispers back) Is his fault we are about to do a rebellion! To think we defended him. But now we know what he is. A poisonous snake-

Merlin: You can't overthrow your own father, are you mad?! I won't let you!

Sir Owain: Listen to him, Sire!

Sir Ewan: Yes, he's talking nothing but reason!

Sir Leon: (whispers to Ewan) Didn't you just say he was a poisonous snake?

Sir Ewan: (whispers back) What are you talking about? I'd never talk bad about The Unicorn Catcher.

Arthur: Don't be ridiculous, Merlin. I'm not really overthrowing my father.

Merlin: You are not? 😧

Arthur: You think I'd take my father's throne by force when he's unconscious and therefore incapable of defending himself in any way? That's not just treason, is dishonorable!

Merlin: (sighs in relief)

Arthur: This is just a back up plan.

Merlin: A back up plan?

Arthur: Yes, my first plan is to try to talk him out of executing you as soon as he wakes up. If he forgives your life, everything will be solved.

Merlin: ... And if he doesn't?

Arthur: That's what the back up plan is for. 😊

Merlin: ...

Knights: ...

Sir Innprudence: Rebellion it is.😔

Merlin: You can't be serious. Arthur, you know Uther won't forgive me!

Arthur: (in denial) Don't be so negative, Merlin. I can try to persuade him. It might work.

Merlin: Arthur-

Arthur: This is just a last resort! If he doesn't see reason, I'll challenge him into a duel-

Merlin: Arthur-

Arthur: If he doesn't accept the duel, i'll ask the court for their support-

Merlin: Arthur-

Arthur: And if I don't have enough support-

Merlin: (shouts) You won't have it! Why would the court help you save the life of a servant? Especially one that is suspected of trying to kill the King! You can't ascend the throne this way. Your legitimacy to the throne will be questioned and your reputation ruined! It's outrageous enough that you are even considering this. He is your father!

Arthur: (shouts) I WON'T LET HIM TAKE YOU FROM ME!

Merlin: ...

Arthur: For years he made feel unworthy of his love. He made me feel guilty for my mother's death since I was a kid. I did EVERYTHING to get his approval. I trained hard, I isolated myself with tones of books, went to quests, I killed in his name! And then what does he do? Insult me, hit me, imprison me and take every piece of happiness I have! He sacked my first nursemaid because she was too soft on me, he killed my first hunting dog because I was getting too attached to it. "Don't show weakness Arthur, why are you crying Arthur? The darkness of the dungeons scares you? Stop acting like a baby, you are turning 8 tomorrow!"

Merlin: (covers his mouth with his hands, wide eye)

Kinghts: (just as shocked) ...

Arthur: I tolerated him a lot of things. But not this. Not with you. I won't let him take my happiness once more!

Merlin: (thinking in awe and emotional) He... he considers me part of his happiness? 🥺

Arthur and Merlin: (get lost in each other's eyes)

Knights: ...

Sir Innprudence: (coughs) Well, the rebellion is not going to make itself.

Leon: (hits him with his elbow and mutters) They were having a moment! (aloud) You can count on me, Sire.

Sir Owain: And me!

Sir Ewan: And me!

Sir Innprudence: Yeah, we already escaped the dungeons. What's another rebellious act?

Leon: (lifting his sword) For the love of Camelot!

All Knights: For the love of the Prince!

Time skip. In Gaius Tower.

Merlin: (enters, very serious)

Gaius: Did you convince the Prince of not doing the rebellion?

Merlin: In fact, he convinced me.

Gaius: What?

Merlin: Did you know Uther put Arthur in dungeons as a punishment when he was 8? Or should I say since?

Gaius: ... Where is this coming from?

Merlin: (barely contained anger) You knew, didn't you? You knew and you didn't do anything!

Gaius: I did what I could! I can't very well confront the king about his parenting methods, Merlin. Unlike you, I know my place.

Merlin: Parenting methods? That's abuse! He was just a child! And I... (thinking) I never noticed. Those times Uther sent Arthur and Morgana to the dungeons, I just assumed they were isolated cases. But they were routine for them. How much did I actually miss in my other life?

Gaius: Uther wasn't the best father, I won't deny that. But does he deserves to lose his crown for that? Besides, this is not just about him. A rebellion will put the life of many at stake. Blood will be spilled. Do you want that on your conscience? On Arthur's conscience?

Merlin: No! Of course not. But if Uther hasn't been a shitty father, Arthur's mind wouldn't be as set as it is now. He killed his dog for gods' sake!

Gaius: What does that has to do with anything?

Merlin: Arthur is not doing this because of me. Apparently this was just the last straw. (thinking) Though it's odd he never reacted like this in my other life. He never thought of doing a rebellion when Uther wanted to kill Gwen. And Arthur always thought high of Uther even years after he died. What changed to make Arthur stop idolizing his father so soon?

Gaius: The last straw? YOU were the last straw! 😡 You and your audacity, your boldness, your lack of self-preservation-

Merlin: I get it, I get it. This is all my fault. You can scold me and ground me all you want later. Now we need solutions. How can we stop Arthur from doing the rebellion?

Gaius: Honestly, Merlin, sending you to talk him out of it was the only hope I had.

Merlin: (thoughtful) Hmmm... Maybe... there wouldn't be a need for a rebellion if...

Gaius: If?

Merlin: (hesitantly) Uther weren't to wake up?

Gaius: (escandalized) Merlin! Are you suggesting to kill the King? 😱

Merlin: No! Never! I wouldn't do that to Arthur! But you must admit it would solve a lot of thing-

Gaius: Shut your mouth! You are speaking treason! Those words alone could get you hanged!

Merlin: I'm pretty much dead now, Gaius. But you're right, I shouldn't joke with those things. (thoughtful again) What can we do?

Gaius: (brings a hand to his chest) You're going to make my heart leave my body one of these days, I swear.

Merlin: (gets an idea) Leave! That's it! (makes a move to leave)

Gaius: (stops him) Where are you going?

Merlin: I'm going to pack my things and leave Camelot. 😊

Gaius: You think running away from your problems is going to solve anything?

Merlin: No, but it'll keep Arthur busy.

Gaius: ...What?

Merlin: Here's the plan. Hear me out. Arthur told me he didn't want Uther to take me from him because I'm part of his happiness. (smiles a little, blushing)

Gaius: Really, Merlin? This is not the time for blushing.

Merlin: I'm not-It's good to feel appreciated sometimes. Anyways, this means Arthur cares enough for me to look for me if I'm gone, right?

Gaius: I would say that more than enough, actually, but yes.

Merlin: So if I leave and hide, Arthur will be too busy trying to find me that he won't have time to organize his rebellion. There, problem solved!

Gaius: That's your great plan. Playing hide and seek with the Prince.

Merlin: Yep. 😊

Gaius: Yes, he'd probably go nuts looking for you, just as he probably would speed up the rebellion in the hope that you will return as soon as the threat is over.

Merlin: ...

Merlin: Okay, I didn't think of that.

Gaius: (sighs)

Merlin: You are not giving me many ideas either, Gaius!

Gaius: Well, for now, I'll do the only thing I can. (picks up a potion and starts leaving)

Merlin: What are you going to do?

Gaius: (defeated) Delay the inevitable. To buy you some time.

Merlin: (keeps looking at Gaius, confused)

Gaius: (sighs) I'm going to drug the King. (leaves)

Time skip. Emergency reunion in Morgana's chambers with Merlin, Gwen and Lancelot.

Lancelot: Arthur even asked me to join the knights in the rebellion.

Gwen: He seems pretty determined, Merlin. Reasoning or trying to sweet persuade him is not going to make him change his mind this time.

Merlin: I know, I tried. (sighs) There must be something we can do!

Morgana: (enters) Sorry, I'm late. Someone had to look after Uther. (gives Merlin a look)

Merlin: (guilty) Morgana-

Morgana: Don't. I know you didn't mean for any of this to happen. And I don't blame you, truly. If I told you all the times Uther made me lose my temper.

Merlin: Yeah, the difference is no one would ever believe you tried to kill the King because of that.

Gwen: There are still many Unicorn Catcher defenders between the servants if that's any consolation to you.

Merlin: It is not. (to Morgana, hopeful) You think you can convince Arthur of not doing this?

Morgana: You think I haven't tried? I even told him he would hurt Uther less if he killed him in his sleep rather than force him to fight his own son in battle, that he was being a monster by doing this, but he went all "this is the honorable way" and all.

Merlin: Perfect. Unless Gaius can sedate Uther forever, we are screw.

Morgana: Have you tried seducing him? 😏

Merlin: This is not time for jokes, Morgana. 😒

Morgana: (thinking) It would work if you weren't so blind to Arthur's feelings. 🤦 (sighs and says) Fine. What about crying to him?

Merlin: Morgana, this is serious!

Morgana: I am serious! How do you think I survived Uther's strict education for so long? Crying was my way to get away with some things with Uther and avoid or reduce some of his punishments. Of course it stopped working when he realised I was faking, but my point is: Pendragons are weak to tears and Arthur is not the exception. When I first came to the castle we didn't get along well. Arthur was jealous that I had all of Uther's attention and believed he was softer on me than him. He wouldn't swordplay with me no matter how much I asked, so what do you think I did?

Merlin: ...Cry?

Morgana: I cried so hard Arthur panicked and gave me his own sword to play. There was also this time some nobel kid made me cry and Arthur kicked him in the crotch.

Gwen: Oh, I remember that! It was so funny.

Lancelot: So you are suggesting manipulation, my lady?

Morgana: I wouldn't call it manipulation. I would call it... Plan T!

Merlin: Plan T?

Morgana: T of using tears as a way to presuade Arthur.

Merlin: That's manipulation!

Morgana: Well, we're running out of options. Besides, I sincerely believe that it can work. It's very easy, just look. (purses her lips and then her eyes begin to water, until tears run down her eyes and then she cries uncontrollably)

Merlin: (worried) Morgana?

Lancelot: Are you alright, my lady?

Morgana: (suddenly stops crying and wips her tears) See? 💁‍♀️

Merlin and Lancelot: (totally shocked) ... 😨😨

Gwen: (claps) You are so talented my lady! 😊

Morgana: It's easy. You just have to hold your breath, gag with your mouth closed and then just focus on the burning in your eyes until your eyes water and, finally, you let out all the frustration in the form of tears. Once you master that, you go to Arthur like this: (goes to Gwen and kneels before her, holding her hands. Then she starts crying all over again) "Please, Arthur, stop this! It's all my fault!" (hits her chest rugly) "I've caused all this. If blood is spilled because of me, I couldn't live with myself. (clinges to Gwen's legs) If you do this, I... I'd rather... disappear!" (faints)

Merlin: ...

Lancelot: ...

Gwen: (amazed) She's good, isn't she? 😃😁

Lancelot: I'll never trust the tears of a woman ever again.

Morgana: (stands up and turns to Merlin) See? Just like that.

Merlin: Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Morgana: You have to! If Arthur notices your anguish he will reconsider.

Merlin: Why don't you do it then?

Morgana: I did and he just sent me to Gaius. The problem when you use a trick too much is that people start to build up immunity to it. Besides, this is something Arthur would expect from me, but he would never expect it from you. With you he'll really be struck down.

Merlin: But... I don't want to lie to him. (thinking) No when I can help it.

Morgana: Technically you wouldn't be lying. You feel guilty, don't you?

Merlin: Of course I do!

Morgana: Then you'd just be amplifying your feelings! Now... (pulls Merlin and puts him infront of Lancelot) Lets practice. Imagine Lancelot is Arthur.

Lancelot: What? 😰

Merlin: Morgana this is ridiculous.😒

Morgana: Want to stop the rebellion?

Merlin: Yes, but-

Morgana: Then cry to Lancelot. Now.

Merlin: (sighs and tries to use Morgana's technique, holding his breath)

Morgana: You are forgetting to gag.

Merlin: (starts to gag)

Morgana: With your mouth close!

Merlin: (tries to do that, but fails and starts coughing)

Morgana: Okay, close enough. At least your eyes are a bit watery. Now kneel and hold Lancelot's hands.

Merlin: (kneels before Lancelot and holds his hands)

Lancelot: (puts his hands away in reflex, scared)

Gwen: Lance!

Lancelot: Sorry. My survival instinct. Do we really have to hold hands?

Morgana: Yes, we have to make this as realistic as possible.

Lancelot: And the Prince won't come in at any moment?

Gwen: The doors are closed and Arthur is too busy with this whole rebellion thing. You are safe, love.

Lancelot: (blushes a little at the use of the nickname) Alright (holds Merlin's hands, though he's still tense)

Morgana: Now, Merlin, your lines.

Merlin: (uncomfortable) Uh... Please, Arthur. Stop-

Morgana: No! You have to do it with more emotion!

Merlin: (raises his voice) Please, Arthur! Stop this! Is my fault (pats his chest)

Morgana: That hand, with more force! You're desperate!

Merlin: (hits his chest harder) I've caused all this!-

Morgana: The tears! where are the tears?!

Merlin: (tries to do Morgana's technice again but ends up doing a weird face) If blood is... spilled... I.... I can't live with myself...

Gwen: Now he looks constipated.

Morgana: The legs! Hug his legs!

Merlin: (hugs Lancelot's legs awkwardly)

Morgana: Tighter! You'll die if he doesn't change his mind!

Merlin: (hugs tighter)

Lancelot: (thinking, trying not to panic) Arthur won't come in, the doors are closed, Arthur won't come in, the doors are closed, Arthur won't come in-

Merlin: If you do this I'll... ARGH! I CAN'T DO THIS! (stands up, frustrated) I CAN'T CRY! THIS IS USELESS! I... (thinking) I lost my ability to cry like that long ago. I rarely cried in years and when I did I did it silently, swallowing my tears. Not even when I believed Arthur would die I cried like this. (Says, sad) We're doomed. The rebellion will happen, people will die and it will be all my fault, because I always ruin everything somehow! Maybe the problem all this time was me. Maybe Arthur would be actually better if I just didn't exist!

Gwen: ...

Lancelot: ...

Morgana: There! You have to hold to that emotion when you cry to Arthur.

Merlin: Didn't you just hear me? I CAN'T CRY!

Morgana: That can be arranged.

Time skip. In Gaius' tower.

Merlin: (enters) Gaius.

Gaius: How was your reunion? Did you find a solution?

Merlin: (hesitanly) I think, but... I need something... from you.

Gaius: (confused) What is it that you need?

Merlin: Do you have something there that can... make someone's eyes tear like... a lot?

Gaius: I think so, but... What's the plan exactly?

Merlin: Literally cry my way out of this.

....

Will Merlin be able to cry to the prince? find out in the next episode of "Merlin: the apple of discord"

A HH Lucifer-centric AU 1/22

PART 2, PART 3, PART 4, PART 5, PART 6, PART 7, PART 8, PART 9, PART 10, PART 11, PART 12, PART 13, PART 14, PART 15, PART 16, PART 17, PART 18, PART 19, PART 20, PART 21, PART 22

STORY 2 - Sequel

HOOK: A LUCIFER CENTRIC AU - AO3

Some RadioApple undertones perhaps.

Another idea popped up but I still can't write fully alksjdakljl

I swear this has more plot to it. It will involve the Sins, Luci's siblings, and overlords.

Big idea. Little vocab.

Will link a part 2 when I post it!

--------------

The Hazbin Hotel residents stare in fear as the young Morningstar is having an ugly, one-sided, verbal match with her father.

It has been a stressful day and Charlie was on a short fuse. Vaggie tried to coax her girlfriend to relax but it didn't work. The other residents, minus Alastor, were too afraid to try because if Vaggie couldn't, how could they.

Lucifer was up on his tower when he was called downstairs to get his daughter to calm down but it just made him the primary target for her frustrations.

Charlie: Dad! Stop! I don't need this. I. Am. Fine.

Lucifer: Sweetie, you clearly aren't. Why don't you take a nap? I know that always helped you to calm down.

Charlie: Know?! Tell me, Dad. What exactly do you know about me after not being present in my life for decades??

Lucifer, stunned: Char-char-

Charlie: Don't call me that!

Vaggie: Charlie, I think-

Charlie: I wish it was you who had just got up and disappeared instead of Mom. At least she would've been there for me from the start!

There was a small gasp from Angel but no one dared to make a sound. What can they even say to that? All that can be heard is Charlie's labored breathing.

Lucifer's eyes narrow and his heart breaks a little (liar, the whole just shattered) but he doesn’t say anything. His shoulders slump, eyes void as his gaze never leaves his daughter.

Charlie seems to realize what she had just said and opens her mouth to say something but nothing comes out.

Lucifer: Of course

The King of Hell says it slowly, almost like he's drunk. (But he can't get drunk. Believe him, he tried. He tried multiple times to drink himself to-

Lucifer: But you're exhausted and I'm sure Alastor can pick up where you left off. Go sleep.

The King gives a strained smile to the group then promptly goes back upstairs.

Once he's gone. Charlie moves to follow but is stopped by Alastor blocking her way.

Alastor: I wouldn't try that, my dear. I suggest you listen to your father and rest. Separately.

Charlie: But-

Angel: Not a good time, toots. You fucked up.

And she did.

--------------

I love Charlie okay!!! I just like to think that the most cheerful ones always have the sharpest tongues when frustrated.

[got-ticket-to-ride]

hi sorry but do you have any soft mclennon moments to share too :') the post you made about 22 seconds of longing hurt oh my god

Sorry for the delay in reply anon. I'm actually just a corporate collar acting my way as a temporary secretary every hard day's night, jobbing like a dog, 8 days a week in an English garden to afford a tan in the rain.

Hope this finds you well! Here are 22 McLennon moments as compensation for Johnny's 22 agonizing seconds in the pining video.

1.) "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" scene when they both looked at each other at the same time. And the director had to pan out the scene because it would've been too straight. I know dilated pupils when I see it.

2.) Inviting your favorite boy to a solo trip to Spain but you stayed in Paris because it was so romantic, sharing a bed, picking out clothes for each other, slurping all the banana shakes, you know normal roommate things according to historians.

3.) Getting a solo invitation from a hot photographer and bringing along your best boy because you are attached to the hip and can't be separated.

4.) Their need to constantly touch each other

5.) Scene in Help (1965), where John is using all his strength to carry George and Ringo's weight and not crush Paul (because boyfriend things)

6.) Holding hands for mental support during a recording. (John is needy, please forgive him)

7.) Walking Martha like a couple in 1967 - outfits coordinated and all

8.) Impressions by people who met them:

"[John and Paul] sort of had their own way of communicating. Hardly anything was spoken, they just knew what the other wanted or was getting at and they had the most amazing talent."

"He was like a different animal with Lennon. When they were together they became something else, more than just the two of them together. That communication was incredible. It was like two high-speed computers just fizzing between each other."

9.) John is hiding his cigarette behind him, because he doesn't want to bother Paul with the smoke. (You know, boyfriend things).

10.) A portrait, king and princess up front. John's thigh just casually resting on Paul's (yet again).

11.) The spider fingers during a press conference, because they are actually both 12

12.) That very flirty jam session in Austria in 1965 that was cut short, but they probably continued after anyway

13.) The way they talk about the day they met sounds like "how I met the love of my life" Happy Honeymoon <3

14.) Quote from Emerick

The lights in the studio were turned off to set the mood; the sole source of illumination was a table lamp next to the wall. The two beatles, lifelong friends and collaborators, sat on high stools, facing each other, studying each other’s lips intently for phrasing.

15.) When they answer each other's songs

Paul in Can't Buy Me Love: "If it makes you feel alright?"

John: "I Feel Fine"

17.) “I could even hear what they were saying off-mike; ‘Oh Paul, you’re so cute tonight’ was met with the reply, ‘Sod off, Lennon.’” — Joan Baez on accompanying the Beatles to their concert in Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Denver. 26 August 1964

18.) Paul looking at John like he wants to eat him later after finishing with "I'm a Loser"

19.) Giving instructions on how John's hair needs to "look"

20.) Paul acting as John's walking stick

21.) Paul's heart eyes during this 1966 conference (also that lip bite... eat you later?):

22.) John the worried boyfriend who checks on Paul in the middle of an interview and doesn't believe him when he just says : "oh, yeah..."

John internally: "come on now, why aren't you laughing at my joke babe? You're unwell!!!"

The Bottles over and out.

Thank you for this ask. This was quite fun! Would love to hear your thoughts too <3

Lady Laena Velayron Headcanons

(Adult Laena is a separate post. This is basically up until she would marry.)

1. After rejecting her hand, Viserys actually sent her the location of Vhagar and little updates about her sightings.

2. She claimed Vhagar after Laenor left for the Stepstones, appeasing Rhaenys by saying Melyes deserved company.

3. She looked a lot like and tried to dress like Jocelyn Baratheon.

4. When they were younger, she'd follow Laenor with a dragon egg to bond with Seasmoke.

5. She was the first person to ride with Laenor.

6. They would both get in trouble for leaving their rooms and finding themselves all over High Tide to sleep.

7. Anytime they were in King's Landing, she'd seek out Daemon or Corlys to talk too (at about 6)

8. Vaemond would carry her on his ships and into the city against her father's hesitation.

9. She was a good mediator between Vaemond and Laenor.

10. She took the blame once after catching Laenor with a squire when their father was looking for her.

11. Her favour for tourneys was always blue, gold with little perfumed flowers and pearls.

12. She'd give her favor to Joffrey at Tourneys in Laenor's place.

13. When she was introduced to the Braavosi Sealord, she did try to be less ladylike to get him to drop the matter. (Birdy core)

14. She got into a bad habit of sneaking away to Spice Town after the betrothal.

15. The first time she flew Vhagar, they ended up in King's Landing rather than Driftmark. Viserys congratulated her after attributing the feat to his father. A brave girl compliment was placed.

16. She got close to Rhaenyra on Driftmark and closer after the royal wedding.

17. She tried her best to help Laenor consumate their marriage after Joffrey's death. They would wear black as a symbol of mourning for him, but together, they did not let rumours spread too far.

18. She joined the court to be close to Laenor after his wedding.

19. She found Harwin strange and didn't care for his advances on Rhaenyra so soon after her wedding.

20. Seasmoke and Vhagar would fly together every morning when Laenor returned from the Stepstones.

21. They had a dream of being sellswords in Essos when they were younger.

22. Rhaenys would teach her about politics in a very similar way to Baela.

23. She was better at politicking than Laenor, but she'd go out of her way to teach him through her understanding.

Laena and Daemon

1. He very specifically was tasked with looking after Laenor by a young Laena

2. She had been very apathetic towards him when they all came back from he Stepstones, actively ignoring him all together.

3. She would've kept it up but she learned quickly after about Lady Rhea's untimely passing and saw an opportunity.

4. Vaemond warned her against seeking out his company before they got to King's Landing.

5. Throughout the rest of the wedding events (Viserys didn't cancel them), she always found herself around him, extending a personal invitation for him to stay at Driftmark.

6. She didn't tell Rhaenyra about her predicament and her plans to get rid of her fiancé as a result.

7. She proposed the offer to Daemon a day after he and Corlys had a very similar discussion. He said that she was using him, and she specifically said that it was only if he wanted to be useful.

8. They managed to sneak out twice to Spice town before getting caught and subsequently reprimanded by Rhaenys after being found in a brothel (no compromising this time)

9. Laena actively used her mother getting to choose Corlys to defend her actions (it didn't go well)

10. She went out of her way to kiss someone else before marrying him.

11. They would casually wander the shore during the tide idly to avoid the Son of the Sea Lord.

12. Rhaenys did not like the idea of her marrying Daemon at first until Laena went out of her way to prove that she'd prefer it.

13. She flew to King's Landing with Rhaenys to let Viserys know about the wedding, he was upset and did not attend. He didn't object however.

14. After learning about it, Rhaenyra leaned more to Harwin despite Laena's insistence that nothing would change.

15. They started flying together during the stay of the Braavosi sea Lord.

16. Daemon insulted the Sea Lord not only by demeaning him but also by implying that he'd compromised Laena.

17. They had three separate ceremonies for their union, one on Driftmark, one in King's Landing, and a secret Valaryian adjacent ceremony.

18. She'd joke about the fact that it was heavily speculated that he hadn't slept with Lady Rhea throughout their marriage with him and her mother.

19. He'd kissed her before they were married.

20. The first time he mentioned leaving for Essos, she thought he was making a joke about her past fiancé.

21. In a similar stroke to Laenor, she was known to be very close to her lady companions on Driftmark and in Spice town.

22. Their respective wedding band stones blue (sapphaire) for him and red (ruby) for her to wear representing the other.

23. He'd joke about the idea that the only reason she sought him out was because of Vhagar's influence on her. (Vhagar was his dad's dragon before, and caraxes was her granddad's dragon)

[omnipotent-scient]

Alicent is a political mastermind whether you like her or not. Her keeping the peace after visits died is why Rhaenyra lived as long as she did

Lol, which part of her character screams political mastermind to you? The part where she was having petty grudges against a pre-teen? Or the part where she spread unnecessary rumours abt the said 12/13 year old? Or the part where she publicly hated the same child? Or the last where she wanted a 5 year old's eye to be put out? Or the part where her 19 and 15 year old sons remained unwed, instead of creating an allegiance?

She is smart and cunning and ambitious but not in the most political way.

Her marriage was the utmost political move on her part. Through this marriage, she became queen, one of the most powerful titles, had four princelings and three to follow after them.

I do think the Rhaenyra & Alicent mostly animosity mostly began after Otto was sent away(109)/Aemond was born(110), which would put Alicent(21/22) displaying public dislike towards Rhaenyra(12/13). Everyone and their mothers in the court knew abt their 'animosity' towards each other even before the tourney of 111 AC, blacks and greens were formed. Alicent was 23 and Rhaenyra was 14.

“Ser Criston protects the princess from her enemies, but who protects the princess from Ser Criston?” Queen Alicent asked one day at court. Such a political movie on Alicent's part🤦‍♀️

Taking in Lord Commander of the Kingsgaurd Criston, was a power gaining move on her past however. But then again, a man she alleged of being a pedo when she had a silver haired daughter herself. So, again, who knows.

Aegon and Helaena marriage was arranged by Viserys, so it would calm down Aegon a bit (from whoring and drinking). She as a mother did not stop Aegon from whoring or excessive drinking, even though she wanted him to be king. She did not prepare him to rule or have someone do it, just let him sire bastards and destroy his reputation. Just because he was a son, he was the better choice, even with nothing to back it.

Queen Alicent demanded that one of Lucerys Velaryon’s eyes should be put out, for the eye he had cost Aemond. Luke was FIVE when this happened, Alicent was a grown 32 year old woman, a mother to 4 children. Though this can easily be passed as her mother's grief talking. So moving on.

Aemond(19) and Daeron(15) remained unwed. Marriage is the best way of allegiance (ex. Rhaenyra and Velaryons). Aemond could've been easily married by then, maybe to Cassandra Baratheon, where he could've been her consort (ex. Daemon and Rhea). Daeron could've been married too, but even a Betrothal would've been fine, maybe to some Tyrell. Yet it didn't happen.

By (visits=Viserys?) 'Rhaenyra living as long as she did', I think you mean the peace treaty? Even an idiot knows you offer a peace treaty at the beginning of a war, so you can be seen as peaceful and better than the other. It wasn't even just her either, Otto and Helaena both pushed for it. The offer was also a hostageship for Rhaenyra and her whole family.

Also Rhaenyra is the one who kept Alicent alive not the other way around. “for the sake of our father, who loved you once.”

CHAPTER 9

The wind is blowing lightly against the grassy cliff overlooking the sea where Maegor is standing. His eyes fixated on the horizon as he watches Vhagar closing in. Him and Aemond had not seen each other in months, and Maegor is eager to be reunited with the man that made such a mess of him.

As he waits impatiently, hands clenched tightly to make his slight tremble unseen, he thinks back to the last time they had been together. It had been a brief and furtive meeting, their love hidden away in the shadows. But now, as Aemond flies towards him, Maegor cannot help but feel lightheaded, his heart racing faster than the swift Meleys.

Watching Aemond Targaryen climb off his dragon and stride confidently towards him feels like a hazy dream. Maegor's legs start to feel weaker as the distance between them is closed, a knot growing in his throat, but he knows he has to keep his controlled and stoic facade on. The only things stopping from childishly running towards him and throwing himself in his uncle's arms are the glare of his older brother and the soldiers around them watching closely.

"My Prince. It's so good to see you." Aemond greets him with a warm smile, placing both of his hands on his nephew's elbows in a subtle but tender gesture. 

Maegor feels feverish. The way his skin burns when Aemond touches him even over his tunic is all the proof he needs that this is no dream. 

"Uncle. It's good to see you too." He breathes out shakily, a mixture of feelings hit at once. 

Joy, anxiousness, relief. Maegor's controlled facade cracks swiftly and he no longer makes any attempt to appear calculated in front of the men. He lets his impulses get the best of him and pulls his uncle into a tight hug, taking Aemond by surprise. 

Eventually, reason makes Maegor let go of the older Prince, although he would've lingered in the embrace a little more. But his clothes are covered in mud and they had an audience. 

Revealing too much about the true nature of their relationship came with a lot of risks  and consequences and they both knew that. For now only Maegor's close family knew about them and it was in their interest as well to not reveal anything about it to the rest of the public. For Addam Velaryon and the rest of his men this is only a friendly display of affection between two friends. Jacaerys' knows the truth, his lips purse in irritation and disgust almost immediately.

"What is he doing here?" the dark haired Prince approaches them, scowling at his uncle.

"No. Don't start." Maegor warns. His good mood is immediately threatened to be ruined at the sound of his half brother's voice.

"Is this how you show gratitude when someone comes to your aid, nephew?" Aemond immediately responds with a taunt and the ghost of a smirk playing on his lips.

"We don't need your aid." Jacaerys sneers, clenching his hands into fists, his whole body tensed up ready to lunge at him like he did that night during the feast in King's Landing.

"That's not for you to decide is it?" Aemond turns his head to look at Maegor and his violet glare immediately softens at the sight of him.

"It's not for Maegor to decide either. Did your grandfather send you so you can pick the bragging rights in his name? " Jace takes a step forward towards his uncle as a warning but his brother's hand placed firmly on his chest immediately blocks him from advancing further.

"Actually nephew, believe it or not I came here on my own. Not for your sake however." Aemond stares at him unimpressed, holding his hands behind his back.

"Get your dragon and fly back to King's Landing, we have no need for unsound men on a battlefied." Jace spats at him, hitting knowingly where it hurts the most. Words full of venom make Aemond see red and his cool demeanor snaps.

But before they can get to each other, the hand on Jace's chest blocking him moves up immediately, grabbing onto the collar of his tunic and pushing him away. Jacaerys has to walk backwards as his younger brother practically leads him away from their uncle like a dog that disobeyed his owner.

"Bloody hell, enough. You really want do this here, Jace in the middle of a war in front of all these men that are relying on us? We talked about this weeks ago or do you give no shits about that?" Maegor stops, grabbing his arm harshly as he leans to whisper in his ears only for them to hear.

 "I'm not asking you to befriend him, but at least be decent enough to tolerate him when he came to aid us when no one demanded that of him. It was you and Luke who took out his eye. Not the other way around." Maegor emphasizes in a hushed voice, careful so his uncle wouldn't hear him.

The sharp words of his younger brother eventually make Jace to take a step back, a deep breath and to stop his hostility towards Aemond. At least for now. Only because he hated seeing the hurt in Maegor's otherwise cold glare. It reminded him how miserable his younger brother looked when he cracked in front of him. Jace hates Aemond and he knows it's very unlikely he would ever change his feelings about him. Ceasing his offenses right now were only because of Maegor's sake. 

Their uncle looks at them, intrigued, wondering what his beloved nephew could whisper for Jace to give up and lay down his arms so easily. It itches his curiosity.

"Pardon my boldness my Lords. We could really use another dragonrider in the coming battle if we want to increase our chances of victory." Addam's steps forward. 

His voice draws the Princes eyes on him instantly. However, his moment of inspiration is abruptly stomped down and the commander immediately regrets opening his mouth when he sees the scowl on Jace's face directed to him.

Aemond only hums in response, looking at the commander then back at Maegor, only now noting that they are both covered in mud and looking rougher than the rest of the men. A rush of thoughts start clouding his mind fast. Unfounded jealousy starts making his face feel warm. It doesn't let it show though. 

Maegor wouldn't betray me.

When Addam meets Aemond's violet glare inspecting him from head to toe he swallows dryly. He knows that look. A dangerous glare that was seeing right through him. Looking down at the commander and reminding him that he is just a lowlife in front of the Prince. 

"Seems like the commander decided." Maegor approves quickly, before his older brother can throw anymore taunts at their uncle. He throws Addam a grateful glance before returning his full attention to the eldest Prince.

 The commander immediately notes the way Maegor's face lights up when speaking or looking at his uncle. This was new. A complete contrast to how fierce the young Prince was in battle.

Eventually the men clear the hilltop, and they head back to camp,  some relieved that they have a new powerful ally on their side, others hesitant and wary.  After all, Aemond's stingy personality and his dragon precede him. Jace is the last to depart. Reluctant to leave his brother alone with his uncle, but he eventually gives in not before throwing a few more scowls and glares at the older Prince.

Maegor suddenly finds himself at a loss of words. He wants to tell Aemond everything that happened in their months spent apart but no words manage to come out of his mouth. 

"Aemond I-"

"I've missed you so much, my Prince." Aemond suddenly closes the distance between them, not before checking their surroundings to make sure they're alone, and cups Maegor's face, placing a chaste kiss on his lips.  

As they pulled apart quickly, Maegor's eyes meet Aemond's violet one, and he feels a flush spread across his cheeks. The same feelings he got when he first saw his uncle training in the courtyard with Ser Criston. It was nostalgic

"I'll get mud on you too, uncle. I was sparing before you arrived." Hearing this puts Aemond's minds at ease. 

It was only an innocent peck on the lips but he already feels on fire and he takes a step back flustered, both by his appearance and by his uncle. Vanity was never Maegor's flaw, but he felt a bit ashamed having Aemond find him in this state, military camp or not.

Aemond simply chuckles at him with a soft expression on his face. He really did miss his nephew.

Loud rumbles suddenly interrupt the two Princes and Aemond finally notices the beast that was sizing both him and Vhagar out from a distance. He's been so distracted and delighted to see Maegor again that he completely ignored the presence of the other massive dragon residing on the cliff.

Aemond simply stares at the black dragon, entraced by him while Saagael fixes him with a cold, predatory glare that instantly reminds the Prince of his sapphire. He touches over his eyepatch with his fingers as a reflex.

It's Maegor's time to chuckle now. Seeing his uncle like this was nostalgic.

"Come, there's someone I want you to meet." Removing his dirty leather gloves, he grabs his uncle's hand, relishing in the warmth of skin to skin contact. 

His uncle indulges him immediately. He can tell his nephew endured a lot of hardships since they last saw each other. Both with his family and on the battlefield. Calloused hands from sword fighting and dragonriding, a few subtle scars adorning his face, dark circles under his nephew's odd colored eyes and just a general look of exhaustion surround Maegor. Neither of those made him uglier, in fact Aemond found him even more bewitching. He even grew a little taller since their reunion in King's Landing. War matured Maegor a lot, he exudes the raw power that made their house infamous. And for Aemond, that was more attractive than anything else. 

Maegor leads the way, still holding onto Aemond until they reach the Cannibal. He lingers his hand into his uncle's for just a moment longer before letting go. 

"A promise is a promise. I call him Saagael." The younger Prince gets between Aemond and the dragon. He begins stroking over the black scales soothingly when the beast starts growling in a threatening display at the stranger. 

Rumors that Maegor had claimed the wild dragon Cannibal as his mount, reached the Red Keep months ago and Aemond was the first to believe them, while all the others thought it was just a jest and that the Prince was still without a dragon. Before Maegor claimed him there was no one that lived to tell the tale. Having no records whatsoever about his age or origins, left a lot for interpretation, so naturally people did just that, blossoming quite the collection of tales about him. And for a long time the Cannibal became just a metaphor, an omen of death because his very existence already lingered in between the line of myth and reality, more like a phantom than a dragon. 

"There is no one else worthy of my Prince." Aemond looks almost as enthralled as he was when he first laid eyes on Vhagar. But this is different. This was his nephew's claim. 

Nostalgic memories rush Aemond as he recalls about their childhood in the Red Keep when they were only children, Maegor four years younger than him. He remembers his fascination with dragons that was unmatched by anyone in the family, even his own. They used to spend their days reading books on dragonlore together during their studies with the maesters.

 Sneaking down to the Dragonpit to get a glimpse of the beasts was also one of their favorite activities, but after the incident with the Pink Dread, Aemond never stepped in there again, not even now when he had Vhagar. She was too big and too capricious to be confined in the pit anyway, so he preferred letting her free somewhere on a hilltop or on the beach in the outskirts of King's Landing. Unlike the Cannibal, Vhagar was born and raised in the Targaryen family her whole life. She was more trustworthy in the proximity of settlements and people, albeit she was still ill tempered and deadly if disturbed by anyone else but her rider.

Aemond had always been fond of his nephew because he is someone he can relate to so deeply. From their hobbies to the burden of being the second sons in their family. And now to their dragons.

Maegor's heart swells with joy hearing those words from him. Of course, his nephew never disappointed Aemond, only he, with his headstrong character and true Targaryen blood could have claimed something that was considered just a legend not long ago. Aemond is proud and happy for him. Finally his efforts paid off and no one could dare mock the young Prince for being dragonless ever again. 

Initially Aemond flew to the Stepstones with only one thought in mind, his nephew. But now the excitement of fighting side by side with Maegor on dragon back was making his blood rush to his brain. With him riding Vhagar, a conqueror's dragon and his nephew riding the very harbinger of death, Aemond was already fantasizing about the possibilities and the unstoppable duo they could make together. 

The blood of Old Valyria.

For the Cannibal it's another story. Long teeth are bared ready to clamp down and a loud growl erupts as a warning when Aemond boldly closes the distance and hovers the hand that Maegor was holding in front of his muzzle. 

It is reckless yes, but Aemond is fascinated. He never laid his eye on a wild dragon before, and certainly not one that looked so different from his own or the ones so familiar to him in the Dragonpit.  It is also a way to unconsciously test the bond between his nephew and his mount. A distant rumble reciprocates from Vhagar who fixes her glare on the other dragon, worried about her own rider. She stays put for now, on high alert ready to come in Aemond's defense if the situation calls for. 

"Daor. Lykirī, Saagael." Maegor scolds, patting his dragon harder until he's swatting his hand against the scales to get his attention away from his uncle. The tip of a tail swiping in the grass shows his indignation and annoyance, but eventually Saagael complies to the command even if the growling remains ever present.

If this interaction happened months ago, when Maegor barely claimed the Cannibal, he is certain the dragon would have hurt or even killed Aemond for doing this. Now however, the young Prince has complete trust in the connection he shares with Saagael and the dragon himself.  

The strength of the bond, that only Caraxes and Daemon's could rival, allows Saagael to feel that something is off about his rider. Inhaling deeply and blowing warm air onto the stranger and the younger Prince, the Cannibal is confused about their shared scents so he tolerates Aemond's audacity and gesture for now, for his rider's sake. Anyone else would have lost at least half of their body by now.

Hearing his nephew speak in Valyrian after so long and witnessing the ease with which Maegor controls his ill tempered mount, lights unseen sparks across Aemond's skin. It's his turn to feel flustered, his skin burning from the heat in his body. 

However, he maintains his composure in front of his nephew as best as he can muster. After all they are still in plain sight, outside, even if the heart of the camp is quite far from them. He does not wish to startle Maegor either if he suddenly lets his feelings run freely and starts acting too brash.

────────────────────────

Eventually after the two spend more time on the hilltop in the company of each other and their dragons, just reminiscing about their time spent apart, Maegor orderes two higher ranking, trustworthy soldiers to escort Aemond around the camp. They briefly explain the situation in the Stepstones before the war council was to be summoned. 

Clear indications to "keep his older brother away from Prince Aemond" are given while Maegor excuses himself. He has to wash and change his clothes so he can look like a proper noble blood again for the small feast that is to be held in the evening for Aemond's arrival.  He also needed a bit of time alone to rearrange his already scattered thoughts. If Jace and their uncle decided to go after each other's throats again he had to stop them.

Another tent was raised, next to Maegor's at Aemond's specific request. No one questions the older Prince directly but there were some whispers here and there about the earlier stand off between him and Jacaerys. Thankfully nothing about his relationship with Maegor. No one suspects anything for now. Most assume that Aemond only wishes to be close to his dragon and away from people that might not agree with his presence here.

Later on in the biggest tent where they also held the war councils, tables are set and plates are laid out. Nothing near compared to the feasts held in Dragonstone or the Red Keep but it would have to suffice. Their rations were already mediocre and needed to be consumed with moderation, however sometimes making an exception like this was needed. Firstly because it would boost the soldiers' morale and secondly because it was common courtesy and protocol to break bread together when you had a guest such as Aemond come by. 

Even if not everyone wanted to break bread with him. Jacaerys especially, not after what happened the last time he sat at a table with Aemond.

All three princes, the commander and two knights are seated at the high table overlooking the rest of the men in the tent. A knight at the far left of the table, followed by Aemond, Maegor on his right side, Jace next to his half brother, Addam Velaryon and ending with the other knight at the far right end.

As the feast begins the soldiers drink and eat heartily, forgetting about the coming battle even if only for one night. Sun sets with the sounds of laughter, music, and clinking of goblets filling the air.

But as the night wears on, Jacaerys's anger simmers beneath the surface like a volcano ready to erupt at any time. Everytime he glances at his brother and the way he steals glances from Aemond, he's constantly reminded about their relationship.  

The feast is a tense affair, they know that, it's quite clear with how the tension between the three men is palpable.. Maegor sits between his uncle and brother, trying to act as a buffer as best as he can initially, until he gets sick of seeing Jace constantly scowling at him and feeling his glare on the back of his neck. So he decides to start drinking. A mistake on his part.

He never really favored alcohol because of how it clouds ones mind and Aegon was already a good example of why he should stay sober at all costs. But right now he needs his mind hazy so he can shut out his brother and the war. To focus on what really matters. Aemond.

Only three glasses of Arbor wine later, Maegor's head is already spinning. Morning will be hell for his stomach and head.

"I think that's enough for tonight, nephew." Aemond says, gently stopping Maegor from pouring himself a fourth glass. He listens to the older Prince and sets the wine bottle on the table immediately, nodding in approval with no complains. 

It's his first time drinking more than one glass. No one can blame him for being a lightweight.

Jace sneers at the sight of his half brother acting like an obedient puppy. 

No one really pays attention to Jacaerys, especially not his brother. Maegor really feels drunk now. Sighing, he shifts in his chair that already feels like it's moving under him. Or is the ceiling moving? He can't tell.

A gust of warm air against his ear immediately makes his body tense up. 

Maegor meets his uncle's violet eye as Aemond leans over and swallows drily. Now that he was dizzy from all the alcohol, Aemond was affecting him even worse than before. But he was feeling bold. 

 Maegor toys with the rim of his empty wine goblet as Aemond leans in even closer to him, a sly smirk playing on his lips.

"If you're feeling unwell and wish to leave." Aemond begins, his voice low and smooth, "You only need say so, nephew." 

Maegor chuckles softly, leaning in slightly towards Aemond as well so he can indulge in his flirting. 

"Will you take care of me, uncle?

Aemond's smirk deepens as he reaches under the table to brush his fingers against Maegor's hand. 

Jace watches them constantly. Aemond leans in again, his breath warm against Maegor's ear as he whispers something that makes Maegor laugh and his face flush with a deeper shade of red. It makes Jace's blood boil with fury.

He can't understand why Maegor is so taken with Aemond. He was no better than his Hightower mother and grandfather. Especially not after the chaos he caused when they were in King's Landing. In his opinion, his brother had nothing in common with their uncle. 

As the night goes on, the courting between Maegor and Aemond becomes more and more apparent but thankfully the men are far too drunk by now to notice. Even the commander is lost in his wine, blocking everything and everyone around him as he's trying to forget about the war for now.

Maegor and the older Prince keep exchanging sly smiles and flirtatious touches, getting bolder by the minute. When Aemond reaches over to brush a stray lock of hair from his nephew's eyes then his hand reaches under the table to rest on Maegor's thigh in plain view, that's when the volcano finally errupts. 

Jacaerys can't stand it anymore.

"What in the seven hells do you think you're doing?" he grabs Maegor by his arm harshly, yanking his brother towards him so he can sneer in his face in a hushed whisper.

Maegor raises an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing at his lips. He's obviously very drunk.

"What does it look like I'm doing, Jacaerys?" he asks, his voice slightly slurred and taunting. 

"It looks like you're making a mockery of our family," Jacaerys spats only for them to hear. "You're both disgusting."

Aemond shoots Jace a deadly look, hitting his fist against the table. 

"This does feel familiar wouldn't you say nephew?" he says sharply, reminding Jace about the last feast they attended together. After all Jacaerys was the one who initially provoked Aemond back then as well.

Maegor leans back in his seat, shrugging off his brother's hand from his arm, an amused look on his face. 

"Jacaerys, Jacaerys, always so quick to judge and act." he chided. 

"It's not funny, Maegor. It's sickening. I'm just wondering how you could betray our mother like this." Jacaerys shakes his head, his face red with anger but he restrains himself from shouting and risk everyone else hear them.

"Always been mother's favorite little boy." Maegor's smile fades fast. Another reminder of how Rhaenyra will never consider him an equal to his half brothers, despite her claiming that she loves each of her children all the same. 

"It's disrespectful to our family." Jacaerys shoots back ignoring what he says about their mother.

"You don't get to decide what's disrespectful, Jacaerys. I haven't betrayed anyone." Maegor replies tracing the handle of the knife next to his plate. 

Despite drinking a few glasses as well Aemond is as sober as he can be. For now he decides to watch his nephews closely and only intervene if really necessary. As much as he dislikes Jace, even he knows they need to stop bickering for once otherwise they'll have no chance on fighting side by side and actually win. But he will protect Maegor if the situation escalates.

Jacaerys shoots up from his chair at Maegor fists trembling and knuckles white from anger. Surprisingly he doesn't say anything. He knows he can't win this argument right now. Not when his brother is drunk and Aemond acts like his guard dog.

For the sake of his half brother and the sake of this war's outcome, Jace finally acts with a bit of wisdom. Before he says something he will regret, he turns on his heels and marches back out of the feast and back to his tent, seething with anger and frustration.

The commander shoots Maegor a confused look but the Prince shrugs it off, rolling his eyes. He quickly turns back to Aemond as if nothing ever happened, his eyes glinting with mischief.

"Where were we?" He whispers under his breath, leaning against his uncle's shoulder.

Aemond wants to comfort his nephew initially, ask if he is feeling alright, but decides to laugh softly instead. He never imagined Maegor could change so much from just a little bit of wine. Although, he can't say he dislikes it.

"I believe we were discussing the merits of conquering the Stepstones." Aemond says his voice low and husky.

Maegor chuckles.

"Ah yes, that," he says, leaning in closer to Aemond.

"But I have a feeling there are more interesting things we could be discussing."

"And what might those be, my Prince?" he asks feigning innocence, a hint of a smile on his lips.

Maegor leans in even closer, his breath hot against Aemond's ear. 

"I think you know, uncle" he whispers, his lips brushing against Aemond's skin.

Aemond shivers with pleasure, a smile spreading across his face. He should be the voice of reason, Aemond knows it. He should take his nephew back to his tent and make sure he rests off his drunken state. But the way Maegor keeps enticing him and riling him up like this is making Aemond crazy. He feels drunk as well, but not because of the wine.

"I think I do." Aemond pauses briefly so he can squeeze Maegor's inner thigh under the table. He can't tell if the smolthering heat is coming off from him or his nephew.  

"And I think we should discuss them in private." 

Reason can wait for tonight, Aemond decides.  

Maegor smirks, overly confident. The alcohol in his system really making him not think straight. He completely forgets how flustered he was hours ago when him and Aemond were talking next to their dragons.

"Lead the way."

────────────────────────

The older Prince barely manages to drag his nephew back to his tent all the way on the hilltop. It's not like Maegor is so drunk that he can't walk, sure he is a bit clumsy on his feet, but that isn't the main issue. 

He kept getting bold and handsy while they were walking through the camp and Aemond had to pretend he was just  taking care of his overly drunk nephew while mustering every crumb of willpower and restraint left in himself so he wouldn't claim the younger Prince right there, behind all the tents.

"You should rest Maegor, you're drunk." Aemond says, trying to act rational again. He guides his nephew to sit on the side of the bed and helps him out of his boots.

Out of nowhere, Maegor reaches him and roughly grabs the collar of his uncle's tunic, hauling Aemond forward and pressing their mouths together in a searing, but sloppy kiss.

A muffled gasp escapes Aemond's mouth as he grips Maegor's arms hard to steady himself from falling completely on top of him. But he does not push him away. He is too overwhelmed, assaulted by Maegor's lips on his, his tongue in his mouth, his rough hands on his neck. 

Carnal desires and sex repulsed Aemond. He had to thank Aegon's 'birthday gift' for that. Only he would be vile enough to bring his thirteen year old brother to a brothel in Flea Bottom and pay whores to have them force themselves on him. All while Aemond was desperately crying and begging to go home.

This was entirely different though. It was not only about lust. The way he can physically feel the yearning that draws him to Maegor course through every vein and artery makes it feel so natural. Like they were always meant to be together. To burn together.

He sends reason to all seven hells for a second time tonight. 

Aemond pushes Maegor until he's lying flat on his back against the furs in the bed. He can no longer restrain the way he pines for his nephew. Aemond begins kissing him like a man possessed. 

The lack of oxygen sobers Maegor slightly but he doesn't push his uncle away, not even when Aemond tightens his grip on his arms. Maegor groans in his mouth, his hands running each side of the older Prince's neck. Aemond's skin is burning hotter than dragon fire under his touch.

Maegor head is spinning. It feels like he's getting torched alive under Aemond's fire and assault of touches. His mouth is so possessive and greedy on top of his, his lips taste like Arbor wine and something entirely Aemond's as they press hard against Maegor's own. 

Maegor groans again and gives in, letting himself slip even further into the sensation and the drowning. He begins to kiss back, just as hard as he's given. The way he was starving for this all these years. 

And will always be starving. Maegor knows this is a hunger that will never be sated. The flame that had been simmering inside him ever since Aemond marked his mind with his words years back explodes into a roaring fire, demanding more, more, more. 

I may have lost an eye but I gained a dragon.

Maegor hands run upwards until he grabs Aemond's face roughly and presses his fingers into his sharp cheekbones, forcing his tongue into his mouth and biting at his lips, clashing teeth from his lack of experience. 

Aemond doesn't pull away even when he can taste the blood on his tongue, just chases Maegor's mouth harder, starved akin to his nephew. Maegor's hands move from his uncle's face to his long silver hair where he tangles his fingers in it, lost in the softness of it. 

"Can I see you uncle?" Maegor suddenly asks out of breath as they still for a moment.

Aemond immediately knows what he's referring to. He hesitates at first but eventually nods in approval. If there's only one who can see him bare and vulnerable it's Maegor.

The younger Prince gently uses his hands to untie the straps that hold the eyepatch in place and he lets it fall against the furs next to them.

By now Maegor is completely sober. He begins to kiss along the scar until he reaches the sapphire where he places a gentle kiss there as well, a bit afraid to cause any pain. His uncle closes his good eye on reflex before Maegor draws back.

"You're so beautiful." Maegor finds himself whispering, lost in the pool of violet that stares at him.

And he really means it. The way his uncle's silver hair falls like a curtain, the way the sapphire glows dimly in the candle light. The scar hasn't made Aemond any uglier, despite the people's bad gossip. For Maegor, his uncle is ethereal in his eyes. Always has been.

The way Maegor looks at him, not only with pupils blown wide with desire but also admiration. The way his nephew's words hit Aemond unexpectedly, make his heart jump furiously against his ribcage. No one has ever told him that. No one has ever made him feel like this. 

Aemond is at a loss of words. He sucks a sharp breath and leans back in.

Just like that, the moment of vulnerability is quickly left behind as the two Prince begin making out furiously again, and despite the blood rushing in Maegor's ears, he can still hear Aemond's gasping breaths and pants against his lips and skin. The noise of their hearts drumming in tandem.

The sounds go straight to Maegor's already painfully hard cock. When he opens his eyes half-way he sees his uncle looking down at him, as if he's holding himself back, his single eye blown wide with arousal. 

"I need you, uncle." Maegor pleads. His voice coming out cracked.

He tugs at the clasps of Aemond's tunic and indirectly at his sanity.

Aemond feels himself going crazy. With that, he presses Maegor further against the furs in his bed with renewed force, hands dropping down and unbuttoning their tunics. Maegor feels completely out of control, he allows letting his uncle take the lead because he enjoys it thoroughly. 

He's never felt anything like this before, never felt so hot and shaky and heated. Not even when they had their first heated moment back at the Red Keep.He can't think of anything other than Aemond's lips, Aemond's hands, Aemond's bare chest — Aemond. Aemond. Aemond.

Maegor gasps as he presses his hands against his uncle's skin, feeling the tensed muscle of his chest and arms flexing under his touch. Aemond's breath is ragged now.

He finally pulls Maegor's tunic off, along with his undershirt, exposing his bare torso, then moves his attention to remove his pants as well.

Suddenly, Maegor lets out a small cry that surprises them both as Aemond squeezes his ass and grabs a hold of his thighs, lifting him up so he can carelessly throw the piece of garment away. 

Maegor swallows his ragged breaths, looking away, face flushed red, his cock already leaking. He's completely naked now, laid out bare in front of his uncle's eye. It feels a bit embarrassing displaying himself like this for the first time.

For the the older Prince it feels like he's unraveling a nicely wrapped gift. Aemond stills himself for a moment so he can drink in the image of his nephew and burn it into his mind. Maegor's face was not the only thing that matured because of the war, Aemond pleasantly finds out. Thin scars were scattered across his body as well, his muscles toned from all the fighting. Even if he is shorter than him still, Maegor's shoulders and back were wider than Aemond's, his thighs stronger than he recalls. 

Suddenly the pants feel agonizingly tight for the older Prince and he fumbles to discard them as well, hastily stripping bare under his nephew's fiery gaze that doesn't leave him for one second.

With renewed confidence, no longer fueled by alcohol but by pure desire alone, Maegor wraps his legs around Aemond's waist pressing his uncle closer, relishing in the molten heat of skin to skin contact. 

Aemond drops Maegor in the middle of the bed and quickly crawls on top of him, carding his fingers through Maegor's silver locks as they begin kissing heatedly again. 

They both moan in unison when their cocks brush against each other.

"Maegor..." Aemond lets out a breathy moan, brow furrowed in the torture of denied pleasure. He knows he has to take it slow. But he's fighting his most primal instincts.

Maegor only grunts, bucking his hips up to chase the same pleasure again.

Aemond presses his whole body on top of him, mouth open in another moan, burying his face into Maegor's neck and gripping his hips to ground himself. This was real. It was really happening.

 The younger Prince gasps and grinds their hips together, chasing the heat and ecstasy. He wraps his arms around his uncle's shoulders and tangles his fingers again through the curtain of silver.

Maegor's never done this before, never sought pleasure before his reunion with Aemond. Even during the rare times, when he jerked off it was only to blow off steam and never to sate his desires. 

It's only Aemond. It's always been Aemond. And Maegor allows him to claim his body the same way he claimed his heart.

Aemond knows this, even as he grinds them together, leaking cocks rubbing together, he still does not forget to kiss his nephew and treat him gently. To ease his mind and make him relax because he never had this privilege when his virginity was forcefully stolen away from him.

The older Prince trails down along Maegor's jaw until he reaches his neck. He begins mouthing kisses along the skin, licking a stripe across the jugular. Then he goes lower and lower kissing a trail along his body, down Maegor's chiseled abdomen. 

Aemond stops to spit in his palm and takes his nephew into his hand. Maegor's mind is wiped completely blank. He's so painfully aroused he feels as if he might die right now.

The hand squeezes Maegor's flushed cock, rubbing circles at the weeping slit.  

"Qybor!" He gasps, shutting his eyes closed.

Hearing the endearment in Valyrian pulls a groan out of Aemond's throat. He wants to worship his nephew and devour him whole at the same time.

"I don't know how much longer I can hold on. If you want to stop tell me now, Maegor." Aemond's low voice vibrates against the burning skin of the other. On instinct, the younger Prince sinks his nails in his uncle's shoulders, harsher than he intends to.

"No. No, don't stop. I want this." He sits up, resting on his elbows to look at Aemond. "I want you." He breathes out but before he can finish the sentence he sees Aemond dipping down between his legs.

A hand trails downward, over Maegor's thigh. His breath hitches, hands twisting in long silver hair, as Aemond's lips ghost tentatively over his leaking cock. But they do not touch. Not yet.

Maegor feels like he's being slowly punished as his uncle starts kissing up each leg. The younger Prince tugging at his hair, pleading to feel some kind of touch, any touch as Aemond's lips skim close to the throbbing erection. He fondles his balls suddenly and Maegor keens.

The older Prince presses his tongue against his nephew's hole out of nowhere and Maegor cries out, hands darting back to tanlge into the silver locks.

"Don't! It's dirty!" Maegor gasps and throws his head back against the furs.

But Aemond doesn't stop. He traces his nephew's hole with his tongue, dipping inside, teasing only briefly. Maegor bites down on his own tongue, to keep himself from howling in ecstasy. Aemond hums in approval against the sensitive skin, pressing his lips to the trembling entrance, before swiping his tongue over it.

Drawing back, Aemond almost groans out loud at the sight of his saliva already dampening his nephew's hole. It's slick, waiting to be spread wide and claimed only by him alone.

"Please uncle." Maegor begs, the irritation of being denied release almost too much to bear.

"Hush. If we don't do this it will be too painful for you." Aemond kisses the milky skin of his nephew's inner thighs soothingly. 

Thankfully even if he lacks experience, Aemond studied enough books and heard plenty of unwanted information - mostly from his brother - to know how the whole bedding process was done without causing unnecessary pain to Maegor. Although everything he heard was about women, but he imagines it's not so different with men. 

Aemond hums, lifting up Maegor's legs to place them around his shoulders. He dips back down to kiss at the puckered hole. His tongue prods at it, pushing just past the tight ring of muscles. Maegor's legs shake and his hands twist in his uncle's long hair. 

"Oh gods.." Maegor moans. Aemond's tongue goes deeper with its next push. His thumb drags at the rim, testing the way the muscle stretches and resists at the intrusion.

Aemond grunts, his tongue still in Maegor's ass and his mouth seals around the hole. By now Maegor can practically feel the tears stinging at his eyes from the waves of pleasure he is constantly hit with. 

Aemond pushes one finger in, getting to the second knuckle before Maegor clenches tightly around him at the pressure.

Maegor drags a fur on his face to muffle all the sinful sounds that keep coming out of his throat. His face presses against it, panting, every breath heavy and gasping. His mouth is open, his back arched, and his legs spread wide, wrapped around his uncle. 

"You have to relax, nephew." Aemond reminds him in a ragged breath, removing his tongue from his hole. The older Prince has his cock leaking between his legs only from showering Maegor with attention. He allows his nephew to let his legs fall down from his shoulders before he gets a cramp.

"It feels weird." Maegor gasps, removing the fur from his face and clinging onto Aemond as he embraces him soothingly. He removes his fingers from his ass to lean over and grab a vial of oil on the nightstand. It's oil meant for maintaining swords but it will suffice.

He pours a generous amount in his hand before he dips it back between the pair of trembling legs, open just for him. Maegor keeps feeling the way Aemond hooks his finger back inside him, pushing at the walls gently as he breaches deeper. 

"Lykiri, Maegor. " Aemond whispers, kissing his neck. 

Maegor's sanity crumbles and he whines at the command. His body trembling, as he takes a  breath - long and slow, preparing himself. It's Aemond's queue to go further, pushing around his rim with a second finger oiled up and slick, never drawing the first one out. It pushes deeper in fact, wiggling and pressing at Maegor's inner walls insistently.

Once Aemond works the second and third finger inside, Maegor is gulping down breaths. His pupils blown wide until they almost overtake his odd colored irises. Not a speck of color was visible in dim light when he leans over to kiss his nephew's bruised lips.

"There you go, good boy." Aemond praises against his ear, relishing in the way Maegor shudders under him. 

He pulls his fingers out to the first knuckle. Aemond spreads them apart at the rim, listening to the way Maegor's breath hitches at the stretch. When he shoves them back inside as deep as he can get and curls them, Maegor practically screams. His voice breaks down in a moan as he almost climaxes just from that.

Aemond spreads out his fingers a few more times. Slowly, making sure the younger Prince is stretched out properly to take him.

Panting against him, Maegor licks across his uncle's neck, mouthing against it softly to urge him to hurry up. 

"Kostilus qybor." Maegor writhes, fisting at the furs under him. He starts shifting his hips upward trying to push his uncle's fingers deeper inside. 

Aemond swallows thickly, deciding there was no use torturing them both any longer.

"You will stop me if it hurts." Aemond demands, the last thing he wants causing pain to his nephew. 

He pours some of that sword oil against Maegor's twitching hole then onto his own cock. He uses one hand to spread the oil properly, biting his tongue and grunting when he finally touches himself. 

Maegor's legs wrap around his waist again. Aemond keeps a steady hand on Maegor's hip, gripping him tightly when he begins to line up against his hole.

He starts pushing, Maegor crying out silently at the initial pain of the intrusion, his head falling back.

Aemond tightens his grip on his hips this time with both hands. When the tip of his cock finally breaches inside and stretches him open, Maegor's eyes go open wide, his mouth falling open. A silent, strangled moan escapes as his uncle slowly pushes deeper. It's painful but not unbearable. Maegor soon finds out how quickly the pain of being stretched out is replaced by bliss.

Everything in his mind gets thrown into a void when Aemond bottoms out, sheathing himself inside the younger Prince. He musters every bit of strength to not spill his seed right then. It's pure ecstasy. That tight, burning, wet heat threatens to unravel him.

Aemond presses their foreheads together searching for Maegor's eyes. His nephew nods silently, too lost in the pleasure to give verbal reassurance.

Aemond licks his lips, kissing him slowly and ardently as he begins to move, pulling out halfway, slowly before pushing back in. It's a torturous pace for him but he needs to get Maegor used to the size first.

Slowly but surely, by now each thrust has Maegor rocking back, begging for more. Aemond find his sweet spot in a few tries and then every thrust has Maegor moaning, screaming his name out and clawing at his back and shoulders.

As much as he wishes he could let his nephew yell to his heart contents, Aemond silences him with deep, starving kisses. Even if the tent was on the cliff, far from the main camp who knows how the wind might carry his cries.

"Aemond.. I can't!" Maegor warns, arching his back.

At first he thinks Aemond is teasing him when he drags his cock slowly out, leaving just the tip inside. 

"Ȳdra daor tymagon, qybo-" Maegor want to cry out in frustration, but Aemond does not let him finish his complaint.

He rams back inside his nephew and Maegor lets out a strangled scream against the lips that hush him, his whole body convulsing from the way his orgasm hits him. He glues on his uncle's body as his cum spills between their stomachs. 

Fingers bury into Aemond's hair, nails painfully digging into his scalp, legs wrapped tightly around his waist, heels in his back, ass squeezing him painfully. 

Maegor's body is like a trap holding him in place, clenching tighter and tigher around Aemond like a vice grip until he can no longer resist it.

"Ñuha zaldrīzes. Ñuhon." Aemond pants hotly against his face, moans and breathy groans slipping past his lips. 

The older Prince thrusts in a shallow and uneven pace until his own seed is milked by Maegor's ass. He comes with a moan against his nephew's sweaty locks of hair. Aemond rides out his orgasm, rutting into the younger Prince, before he finally slumps on top of him, both panting like tired hounds after a hunt.

The scorching heat of their love making quickly fades out and is replaced by the cold bite of the night breeze, slipping inside the tent. Aemond pulls the furs to cover their bodies before he tugs Maegor into a tight embrace, exhausted limbs tangling in each other. 

His uncle is staring straight at Maegor, their faces inches away, his white hair beautifully tousled against the pillows. If he wasn't so tired Maegor would kiss him again and again until they would end up in a panting mess again.

"Rest, my Prince." Aemond reads his mind and places a gentle kiss on Maegor's lips instead, brushing the hair from his sweaty forehead before kissing it as well.

"Avy jorrāelan, Aemond. Vēzos qēlossās ñuho"

I’ve only seen a few Elvis movies so far, but I was curious how you would rank them? From best to worst. :)

Oooh.. Which ones have you seen? Also, I'd love to rank his movies! This will be fun. 😂

These are how I rank them personally. But I'd love to hear everyone else's rankings! I will be ranking the movies from the 50's first and then do the 60's, because his movies in the 50's are honestly my favorite because the stories actually made sense and weren't rushed and you can tell he actually cared.

The 50's - From best to worst

King Creole (Baby acted his ass off in this and the story was great!)

Jailhouse Rock (I really loved this because I could hope that he would've taken charge of his career the way Vince did without the asshole part. Another where the story was great.)

Loving you (He was just too darn cute in this movie with his little stuttering and I love that his parents were in it. Deke has my heart.)

Love Me Tender (Spoiler: this gets worst because he dies 😭)

The 60's - From best to worst

1. Follow That Dream (Does this even need an explanation? You guys know how much I love this movie and not even for the story. It's my comfort movie)

2. Girls! Girls! Girls! (This was the very first Elvis movie I saw and I hold it dear to my heart. I would play Return to Sender on repeat, lol)

3. Wild in the Country (I know this is like 50/50 for people but I really loved this movie. The story was great and his acting was amazing.)

4. G.I Blues (God.. This movie.. He.. Yeah, he looked fine as hell. Story was okay. The songs are my fave.)

5. Live a Little, Love a Little (This was the second Elvis movie I saw and honestly is a favorite!! Bernice is insane BUT I STAN. Greg Nolan is my baby.)

6. It Happened at the World's Fair (This movie was so cute and funny. I always love him in movies with kids! 😭)

7. The Trouble with Girls (DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN?!!? HIS EYES WERE SPARKLING. THE SUITS)

8. Change of Habit (Okay, I feel like this movie is incredibly underrated and AE made it seem like it was so terrible. But I personally loved this movie because of its serious story and plot. It was also a different character we've seen Elvis play. I think had there been no songs at all, this would've been taken more seriously. He also looked good af.)

9. Flaming Star (Despite the stereotypes and well everything else that would get this movie canceled.. I actually enjoyed it a lot. It was certainly different for Elvis. If I remember correctly, Tarantino said this was his favorite Elvis western because it was the most violent.)

10. Kid Galahad (This movie was good and another different character for him. But I'm not into boxing so it was kind of boring to me)

11. Blue Hawaii (I really enjoyed this movie, but I don't love it as much as everyone does. I don't get the hype and I also think Can't Help Falling In Love is overplayed and overrated. He's got so many better love songs. But that's just my opinion! This movie still gets a good ranking though.)

12. Viva Las Vegas (I enjoyed this movie! But much like Blue Hawaii I don't get the hype. It's not my favorite but definitely not the worst)

Now let's get into the movies that in my personal opinion were the worst. Now that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy them. Even with the stories not being great; some of them were funny!

13. Fun in Acapulco (This movie was enjoyable but the story could've been better and I didn't really like a lot of the songs.)

14. Roustabout (I just found this movie so boring and I'm not surprised the colonel loved it. But Elvis looked HOT.)

15. Girl Happy (I really enjoyed this but again the story wasn't great and his character wasn't anything special. But if you want a few laughs this is a good one. ALSO ELVIS IN A DRESS!!!) 16. Tickle Me (this movie was so funny and Elvis always has perfect comedic timing. It reminded me of Scooby Doo. But unfortunately the story was meh they also used songs from one of his old albums because they had nothing written for the film)

17. Spinout (This movie was okay, a few laughs. But nothing too special besides him threatening to spank someone, lol. Basic Elvis character.)

18. Speedway (A few good songs, but kinda boring to me)

19. Frankie and Johnny (I really liked the aesthetic of this film and some of the songs, but it certainly wasn't the best. He looked horrid in that yellow sweater lmfao)

20. Paradise, Hawaiian Style (I enjoyed the songs and his interaction with the little girl. It was too cute! A few good laughs, but nothing to rave about)

21. Stay Away, Joe (This movie was so ridiculous and stupid, but also funny as hell to me because of how ridiculous it was. Another one that would be cancelled. But Elvis looked so good lol)

22. Clambake (SNOOZE FEST. Stupid story also Elvis tried to get out of making this movie. So much drama behind the scenes of this, lol. He was fat shamed. His character.. I don't even know.)

23. Charro! (This movie could've been great since they weren't really any songs, Elvis' acting was great and he looked good with a beard. But the story was just so boring.)

24. Double Trouble (This movie was funny but that's about it. Story was eh)

25. Kissin' Cousins (Jesus Christ.. Where do I even begin with this movie? We should not be hooking up with our cousins first off, LMFAO. The only good thing was Jodie. 😂)

26. Harum Scrum (I DONT EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS DUMPSTER FIRE. I hate this movie, lol. 2.99 WASTED. Like wtf was this?? It was so bad Elvis gave up acting in the middle of it lol.)

Now let's rank the concert docs for funsies!

Elvis on Tour (THIS IS MY BABY. The amount of times I watch this is unhealthy. He's so fucking sexy in it and just watching him at all these shows doing what he loves. Ugh. The shot of him staring out the window and kind of just lost in thought.. It just makes me want to hold him.)

That's The Way It Is (The first concert doc I watched. This is just amazing. The album alone is my favorite. But seeing him up on that stage giving it his all and having so much fun doing it warms my heart.)

Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite (I know this technically isn't a concert doc but it belongs on this list. Do I even need to say how amazing this was??? How good he looked?? This certainly is underrated.)

Honorable mention

Elvis In Concert - (I wish they would release this because it only aired once I believe on October 3rd, 1977. But that was it. You can watch it on YouTube because someone remastered it and fixed the audio as best as they could. But It'd be nice if EPE would just release the actual footage and have CBS or RCA remaster it. Despite how ill he was he still put on a performance no matter what. He still wanted to make the fans happy. But I understand why they don't really want it out there.)

Sorry this was so long and I don't know if you wanted my actual opinions on them. But I felt I might as well give them, lol. Thanks for the question, bestie!

Major orv spoilers discussing the Oldest Dream that quickly veers off-course into an investigation on Kim Dokja's age

I was thinking about the confrontation with the Oldest Dream. Kim Dokja doesn't look anything like his mother, so does he look like his father? An image of his father appeared once in the text but I forgot if his details were described. An uncertain amount of time over 13 years ago, his father might have been in his late 20s or early 30s. Having both come at that young boy with a blade, the similarities are really painful to think about

Imagining a world where he is so much more (powerful, adored, charismatic, courageous) than he is, maybe he felt like that other version of him was better off living instead. But he still didn't believe any version of himself had the right to exist happy and whole. Even so, he wanted someone to stop him from destroying and cutting off parts of himself. His frail, shameful past did not wish to be shorn off so callously

As a side note, I think the song Lion's Teeth fits him

Side note 2: I like to think he was 10 or 11 when his mom went to jail, 15 when he discovered WOS (canon), and [EDIT SEVERAL HOURS INTO WRITING THIS: EVERYTHING PAST THIS POINT HAS BEEN DISPROVEN (???) IN A REREAD OF CERTAIN SCENES (details below)*] 17 or 18 when he was seen at the train station (to account for the breadth of his knowledge of WOS. Sure the fixation could have settled in immediately but we don't know how far those first few chapters covered so im giving him a few years. Also imagining the scene where the outer god kings are holding him up in a human chariot with a big red arrow pointing at him like "South Korean Citizen of legal voting age" is funny.)

Okay because I just went into a research rabbit hole I'm breaking up the paragraph:

1. 18 is the age to vote in Presidential and National Assembly elections. 19 is the age to vote in legal elections (link, paragraph 1).

2. As of June 2023, South Korea has written their Korean Age Based on the New Year out of law (link, paragraph 2) so it's possible that when KDJ said "I'm 28 years old" in 2018, he was using his Korean Age. His International Age (age calculation system used by the entire rest of the world) would have been one year younger (thankfully he was born near the beginning of the year or else the age difference would have been close to 2 years). More evidence supporting his use of Korean Age instead of International Age: he said he was 15 in 8th grade. 15 is the age in Korean Years that kids attend 8th grade while their International Ages are 13-14 (link, section: School Grades).

3. If 8 in Korean Years is the age that kids enter the 1st grade, and his Korean Age is about 13 months over his International Age (did I do my math right???), he would have been on the older end of his grade level, at 7 years old in International Years among 6-7-year-olds. None of this has much to do with my original post, but it is interesting to note when thinking of his relationship with his peers and how small he seemed.

One more thing: South Koreans also age out of foster care at 18 so he would have REALLY needed the 999gang at this point. BUT: 1. I don't think bouncing around relatives counts as being in the foster care system and 2. Didn't he move out on his own early? I think I read that somewhere. I remember thinking that was way too young.

AHA

Chapter 408:

"I recalled the day I left the relatives' place for lodging in a hostel. I was seventeen back then."

THAT IS WAY TOO YOUNG. HE WOULD'VE BEEN 16 IN INTERNATIONAL YEARS. HE WAS PRESSURED BY HIS RELATIVES TO LEAVE AND SINCE THIS ISN'T PART OF THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM HE DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY SEVERANCE PAY. ON TOP OF THEM HAVING STOLEN LEE SOOKYUNG'S MONEY I WISH THEY HAD SURVIVED THE APOCALYPSE JUST SO HAN SOOYOUNG COULD RIP THEM APART

Here's an additional passage from chapter 534 supporting my idea of when he became the Oldest Dream:

"Kim Dokja, 16 years old. 17, 18.

He'd consume this story and grow older, and eventually, become the 'Oldest Dream'."

Meaning he became the Oldest Dream AFTER turning 18 in Korean Years, 11th or 12th grade, 16-18 in International Years. He was still wearing a high school uniform so he'd have been 19 in Korean Years AT MOST.

[*Details from after rereading more scenes:

Chapter 285:

"During middle school, I even drew charts in the corner of my textbook."

Chapter 513:

"A thin, small-statured child who might have passed off as an elementary schooler were it not for his school uniform, was sitting on that bench. As if he was trying to memorise English words, he was busy scribbling something like a chart on his notebook."

SO. His uniform was NOT described as a high school uniform. He was small enough to be mistaken for an ELEMENTARY SCHOOLER, and he was doodling charts. This all points to him being 15 at the time they meet him on the platform.

Caveats: we still don't know how much was covered in the at most 11 months he's been reading WoS. It might be enough to get a basic understanding of power balances but it has nothing on adult KDJ's 13 years of reading. Also, the line from chapter 534 does not support the idea that he was still 15 when he became the Oldest Dream.

Maybe an 'oldest dream' is just a dream that's been held onto for a long time, instead of being a snapshot of a particular version of Kim Dokja at a particular age. Maybe all of him ever since the moment this dream germinated on that train platform has been the Oldest Dream.

This is ridiculous. Kid discovers a book he really likes and the first time he thinks "man I wish I could help these characters out alongside them" a future version of himself (who may or may not look just like his dad) pops out of a train and tries to kill him and then himself. And then his favorite characters also come out and lift him up, though it's uncertain if he's even read up to the 999th regression yet. I mean 1/13 of 1863 is 143 so if WoS were evenly paced no he would not have read about them yet. But WoS was NOT evenly paced so we can't tell.

[halfbakedspuds]

Alright, let's do this for one of my characters. Probably gonna keep coming back to this post to do so for all of them cause it's useful.

Adrian Castellan

1. Adrian lies as part of his job, but the major one he constantly has to tell Lyanni is that he spent the years 2618CE to 2622CE recovering from a near fatal injury.

2. In a quote, "My social life extends to you and no further. In a sense, you are my only friend,"

3. Very rarely. Only one person has that he deals with regularly even knows he can feel emotion

4. As a kid on Callisto, he and his sibling's competed in virtual arenas once a month, and he sorely wishes to get back into that but can't since he's stuck on the other side of the galaxy for the foreseeable future.

5. Due to physical injury from a battle, he had to get his eyes replaced with cybernetics as shrapnel had taken them out. This also urreperably damaged some other parts around his eyes, such as the muscles that would usually allow for their movement, his eyelids and his tear ducts. However, even if he was still physically capable of crying, he'd likely suppress it.

6. Stephen king's Dark Tower books. Adrian is a nerd for all things antique, including most literature and art from the 20th to 22nd centuries.

7. Considering that having a human name is unique on a non-human world, probably just his name, though Lyanni yelling 'Dumbass!' Tends to also get his attention because it's usually warranted and only she actually calls him one.

8. Strict. He uses it exactly once in the entire book when he's borderline proposing to someone.

9. He prefers giving gentle love but growing up on Callisto has taught him that the other has it's uses too.

10. "Did you know that our standard ammunition used to be considered mounted machine gun ammo? Yeah, that's why we need power armor"

11. "What year were you born?" Is a question only Lyanni and his siblings (Maternal figure is deceased) would also know the answer too, and if the impersonator replies with 2595 they will be shot immediately, as Adrian lied about his age on official documents in order to enlist early and get off Callisto.

12. There is an in-joke between him and Lyanni about her first time seeing a dog, and not understanding domestication since her species doesn't do that she tried starting a conversation with it about IUC operations on the planet. Whenever it gets mentioned he just starts dying of laughter.

13. Very often, to the extent that a legitimate one genuinely unnerves people at times.

14. Pinch it.

15. 'At work' for Adrian constitutes whenever some random person on the street can see him. During that time he needs to maintain the facade of a divine messengers to keep the influence he needs to do his job. With King Alahn, he's still rather serious but noticeably relaxes. With Lyanni we see the joking idiot he would've likely been at all times had certain trauma not happened. Alone, he broods on the past, and usually works himself until he passes out to avoid thinking about it.

16. Mostly religious zealots and nobles because those are the kinds of people he actually has to argue with daily.

17. Adrian's natural hair colour is snow-white hair, and although people with mutations aren't seen as freaks anymore, it still bothers him. Everybody else notices his cybernetics eyes, which he changes the colour of to match whatever he is wearing that day.

18. Two people. Zeltin Kasrik, who's managed to become almost like an adopted son to him (and legitimately becomes his adopted son later on), and although it takes a while to get there, Lyanni Sverik.

19. Have you ever seen a cyborg purposefully deactivate their eyes and ears to avoid dealing with someone? Cause that's him.

20. He likes Baron Jormahnd Sverik (Lyanni's father) as a person but feels like he wasted his talents when he could've accomplished much more as a praetor. He doesn't like premier Richard Cade as a person or his work, but he respects the efficiency that the man brought to Titan during the uprising.

21. The native species of Kradoma had a very different sense of modesty to what humans do. They don't feel shame at their own nudity but see it as a sign of ferality if done outside of a home and will change clothes basically anywhere that isn't a public space (Living with one of these natives has prompted him more than once flee a room utterly flustered, trailing the words 'Oh for throne's sake!'). To the contrary, this species sees dancing as scandalously inappropriate if the partners aren't married. Growing up in festivals were people just danced with any random person they could find and swapped partners multiple times during a single song, this seems silly to him.

22. Listen to breathing in his ear without getting PTSD flashbacks to the war. In space, there is no gunfire, but his mind came to associate his own breathing in his helmet with danger.

23. The original reason for rescuing Lyanni wasn't to use her as a way to propel the native species forward technologically, but rather his plan was to trade a 'witch' with the witchhunters in Szeraan so they would leave the kingdom be for a little while longer. He dealt with this silently before she could find out about it, but he feels guilt and horror at the fact that he was about a day off of actually doing it before his conscience stopped him.

24. Depends. Would stealing the cookie help him more or less in a week or two than leaving it in the jar? If the answer is 'the same', he wouldn't have wasted the effort.

25. Music and literature from about a century before the fall of Earth to about a century after (1970's to 2190's)

26. Silence. He'd probably just stop talking entirely until he's confident that he can open his mouth without going on a tirade about the event.

27. One of those old monkeys that you wind up and it starts clapping cymbals together. He put it on his shelf, and the in his teenaged years while making his guns, he took it apart to see what parts he could repurpose.

28. To him, his posting to Kradoma is a kind of voluntary atonement for some of the things he's done or feels he is guilty of. At the start of the book, he claims that all he wants is for the native population to become independant as an interstellar civilisation. By the middle, all he truly wants is to go back to Callisto and make amends. In the end.

29. Either the way religion has drilled it into him: "All saints and imperator as my witness, I speak true!" Or if he can he'll go find proof, either through a quick data net search or by stellalimg evidence.

30. There is no professional guilt for him. He acknowledges the mistake and fixes it as soon as he can. In his personal life he feels extremely guilty about things that those affected will probably forget before lunch.

31. Anything involving Lyanni, Zeltin, Alahn or Maia Williams, plus his siblings. He almost immediately tries to rectify it even if it cause more problems

32. Stealing a sandwich just to get a break from nutrient bars.

33. A very mechanical "Ave Imperator," whereas a warmer greeting is in store for people he likes

34. "Hey," "Howzit?" "Eya"

35. Allowing an "Illegal" (someone not sanctioned by the IUC as a worker, officer or Praetor or other) to continue operating planetside cause they got him information. This comes with the added risk of them not being regulated by law, which could've been disasterous

36. King Alahn. He needs a working relationship with the king to do his job, but there's no malice in it.

37. What he was actually doing from 2618 to 2623. It's to keep them safe.

38. He's a surprisingly good dancer, but he fumbles because of nerves in front of others

39. He'd rather just be left alone with people he cares about.

40. Handshakes aren't as much of a cultural thing in the 27th century, but he'd probably have some unsavoury things to say.

41. He speaks Latin with a Callistoan accent, pronouncing 'V' as 'W' and a 'K' as a gutteral. He's also picked up some of Lyanni's dialect with Axidemir, and will occasionally pull out words that are antiquated in the common speech.

42. Probably "the art of subtle Manipulation" since it's something he got incredibly good at as a Praetor

43. Being Callistoan, if someone draws a weapon it means that they wanted a fight. The Imperial etiquette of leaving weapons by the door when visiting someone still gives him anxiety cause he either thinks someone wants to shoot him or he's afraid someone will misinterpret what he's doing.

44. Probably Italian or French since he speaks a later iteration of Latin as a home language, and probably wouldn't have too much trouble pronouncing Arabic since most of those sounds are in Axidemir.

45. Skew paintings annoy him to no end.

46. Part of his job is talking entire empires into setting themselves on fire, but he prefers to listen.

47. Pavel DeSantos. Now the Governers of the Jupiter moons, but a former bf of Adrian's.

48. Yes, or if he noticed they didn't want to be there he'd find a way to get them out.

49. At this point he'd eat anything as long as it meant an end to 8 years of nutrient bars

50. He will not hesitate to sacrifice close friends if it benefits the greater good or furthers the upliftment process.

51. "By the throne..." Or "Tears of the Empress!"

52. He tends to wait, but there are exceptions to this rule.

53. That humanity's war with the council races is justified. Also that his Maternal figure died because of him.

54. He can go from laid back and relaxed to guns drawn and twelve people layed low in only a few seconds thanks to the utter hellhole that was the moon he grew up on.

55. Reading. He used to actually enjoy it but because of the amount of reports he needs to compile and read as part of his job it's kind of lost it's appeal to him.

56. Usually he just wants one of his guns in hand, but later in he'll also take being around Lyanni Sverik as a comfort.

57. His sleep schedule. He keeps overworking himself by about an hour without noticing.

58. Mostly creative hobbies such as drawing or painting, but he always falls back to tinkering. The exception to this was back when he still played for his habitation tower's arena-sim team.

[trashyocstash]

since i did a lily write up, i figured i should do a post on phantom blot x lily.

so when the story starts, where are they? lily has just moved to mouseton and has just escaped an abusive relationship. she is trying to make a fresh start in life and befriends mickey and his friends, but naturally her traumatized mind is filled with doubts about her new friendships, she worries they will turn on her eventually and blames herself for her "friendships" with madison and olivia turning out terrible. she also feels insecure about romance, she sees most of her friends in these happy, healthy relationships and feels jealous. lily worries no one else is ever going to love her. and phantom blot is starting to be interested in finding a mother for phantom brat, at her request. in contrast to him being built up as a terrifying villain, we see a softer side to him. he is capable of love, kindness and compassion but very few ever get to see it. he has big plans, and he and lily meet because he was looking for some more ink.

and he initially hides his identity from her, because he's trying to be undercover. but he's never intending to hide it for long, and lures lily over to him, but despite that he's always been fond of her. blot is a very manipulative type, but lily sharing his interests made him genuinely interested in her. and you know, this is a dark romance, he's the villain, so it's not 100 percent perfectly healthy and does have fucked up elements, then you have him kidnapping her to add to that. lily is naturally afraid, and is upset at his deception, but phantom blot respects lily enough that he listens to her when she wants him to leave and they only properly talk later where he apologizes for hiding his identity. he just wants to spend time with her, but is doing it in the way most natural to him as a villain.

chapter 6 is also meant to be the big turning point in their relationship. they've had romantic and sexual tension going on, but lily has this hesitance with him that she loses as he stays with her. even with everything she's been through and all her trauma and resulting issues, lily is a very kind person. she treats others well and this is exemplified in her relationship with blot, he comes to her after a fight because he trusts her and cares for her, and despite how he is and everything he's done, she takes him in regardless and cares for him. she let's him stay with her, makes food for him, cares for him and makes sure he's happy and comfortable.

this period is meant to show what they would be like in their day to day life as a couple too. we see them watching TV and movies together, talking together, enjoying nature together and lily confides in him eventually, because she begins to trust him enough that she feels comfortable being open with him. and he listens and cares for her as best he can. phantom blot on the other hand, isn't used to being vulnerable, but he begins to let his walls come down around her, culminating in him revealing his past in chapter 14.

chapter 9 also has a pivotal moment showcasing their trust in each other, which is when lily allows blot to touch her cheeks for the first time, compared to chapter 3 when he tried and she instinctively smacked his hand. she's naturally on edge, but she doesn't want to be like that forever, so she allows it. and he continues to do it, as lily slowly gets more comfortable with it. chapter 5 has,a similar moment where blot flat out asks lily where he can touch her, it's meant to be both sexy and indicate how much he respects her boundaries.

then we have chapter 13 which is also pivotal. just like phantom blot came to lily when he needed help, she came to him when she needed help too. he's dangerous villain, the king of evil himself, many are afraid of him so she knows he can scare cody off, and he does! he protects her and cares for her, and if circumstances were different he 100 percent would've killed cody with no hesitation, but lily was in the house too and he had no death traps nearby. but cody will probably never step foot in mouseton again.

and then you know, blot and lily fuck.

at this point, they are fully in love with each other. phantom blot wants to make her queen and brat's mother, but lily's moral dilemma about being in love with not just a villain, but one that has attempted to kill mickey before, makes her hesitant. she only agrees to be with him when he agrees to not hurt her friends.

phantom blot sees lily as his equal and this is shown in making her queen, he loves her and wants her by his side because he wants someone like him by his side. the rest of the world will be under his feet after all. he forces her into it, and being brat's mother. he listens to her opinions and what she wants, even though they don't line up with his wants, because he loves her and eventually sees her benevolence as a good thing that would benefit their rule.

lily loves blot as he is, she doesn't try to change him. and he doesn't try to change her. they find unconditionally love and acceptance in each other, something both have desperately needed. she helps bring out his softer side, and he helps her become more bold and confident.

and on brat, phantom blot was looking for a normal mother for brat. another villain or general criminal wouldn't give brat the sense of normalcy she needs, and a non criminal parent would help her be safer. blot ensures lily would be a good mother for brat before he pursues her, and it is her normalcy, kindness, gentleness and her interest in being a mother herself which makes him settle on her. he loves his daughter, and this love extends into his relationship with lily.

and outside of that, blot and lily have things in common. they both love art and reading, they've been hurt and traumatized by those who were supposed to love them, they're more introverted types, they're intelligent, they like fashion, they care about their appearances and they are shown to enjoy the same media together for the most part. they feel a connection with each other that no one else gives them(seen in lily's match mason) and they get jealous of people expressing interest in the other.

this is longer than i intended but i have so much i could say about these two, i love them.

Do we have a deal?

--------------------------------------

Charlie can't sleep all night even though she realizes that she is tired. It's almost noon but she didn't have the strength to get up yet and face everyone. Millions of thoughts are running through her mind. How could she say that to her dad? He was just trying to help. She didn't mean it. It was just in the heat of the moment. She doesn't really think that, right? She loves her dad. It's just not fair. That's no excuse. Wrong. Wrong Wrong. She's sorry. So so very sor-

Vaggie: Babe?

Charlie turns to the door and sees her girlfriend.

Vaggie: How are you feeling?

Charlie: Like I'm the worst daughter ever.

Vaggie comes to sit with her in the bed and hugs her lover as she starts to cry again.

Charlie: Why did I say that to him, Vaggie? He was just trying to help me. If it was any one of you, I would've done the same and made you rest.

Vaggie purses her lips, unsure of what to say.

Vaggie: Why don't you eat something first.

Charlie: is- is he down there?

Vaggie: I-

Before Vaggie could answer, Razzle enters the room in a hurry, gesturing wildly for them to come down. They both run to the lobby following the familiar.

Charlie expected another demon out to cause trouble in the hotel but it was-

Charlie: Aunt Bel?!

It was the Sin of Sloth, Belphegor, standing at the center of the lobby. The other guests watch in apprehension as Alastor's black tentacles are somewhat showing.

Charlie approaches her aunt slowly and notices that despite still upholding the regal stature, the bags under their eye are more prominent than before. The Sin gives a slight bow.

Belphegor: Princess. Your father was not at the palace. I would like to speak to him. Urgently.

Charlie: Oh um. Yes, he's here. He's in his room.

She beckons Razzle to fetch her father.

Charlie: Is something wrong?

Belphegor hesitates but doesn't answer.

Lucifer arrives downstairs the next moment.

Charlie sees the wet look in her father's eyes. Like he's been crying. Of course, he was. She knows her dad. He's her dad-

Charlie tries to catch her dad's gaze but he doesn't so much glance at her direction.

Lucifer: Bel.

The Sin of Sloth gives a deeper bow to her king.

Belphegor: Your Majesty. If I could borrow you for a moment down in Sloth. There is a... situation.

Lucifer adjusts his stance. None of the sins ever called him by anything other than his name before. That is unless there is something wrong or they fucked up big time.

Lucifer: And you went all the way from Sloth?

Belphegore: I- I do not feel it to be wise to discuss this matter over the phone.

That wasn't cryptic at all for the hotel residents.

Lucifer waves for her to come closer and she whispers something into his ear. Everyone was holding their breath.

As soon as she's done, Lucifer and her start moving.

Lucifer: I will be in Sloth. Alastor.

Alastor appears in a wave of shadows to his side.

Alastor: Yes, sire?

Lucifer: I will be unreachable until I resolve this. I'm sure you can handle keeping an eye on the hotel?

Alastor grins.

Alastor: I would be offended if you weren't.

Charlie: Wait! Dad! Please, can we talk before you leave?

Lucifer: Char-ch-

He stops himself and takes a deep breath.

Lucifer: Sorry, Charlie. We'll talk after.

Lucifer gives his daughter a small smile and squeezes her hand.

Husk: What the fuck was that?

Charlie could only stare as her father and aunt disappeared in a portal to the Sloth ring.

Charlie: I don't know.

Part 3 Snippet:

Belphegore: Lucifer! What are you doing?!

[alpha-centauriiae]

AHHH I STILL HAVENT FINISHED THESE FUCK IT IM DOING THE REST HERE ON A NEW REBLOG THANK U ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND INTEREST!!!

6. She would continue serving the forces of Hammerfell for the next nine years, even after the end of the Great War for the empire, until the Second Treaty of Stros M'Kai. She earned herself a fortune in gold from the various Grandees she served under, as well as having a personal plate armor set commissioned for her by the King of Hegathe, the one in the above photo.

7. She would leave Hammerfell for home in 4E 180 with Senti, a Forebear wizard who had fallen in love with her during the war, and wished to leave the devastation and memories behind.

8. (BTW I realized I didn't even add her name yet so hi her name is Caylene!) She would've been 26 by the end of the war in 4E 180. By time of the events of Skyrim, she is 47. She is not the dragonborn, and would have been in Cyrodiil by 4E 201.

9. Being a lowborn, she hasn't received training in magic like many Highborn knights of High Rock have. Her innate ability for it still exists however, but they are mostly utility spells like Candlelight and heal minor wounds.

10. Her full name is Caylene Luzgarz gra-Atuash, her surname being orcish due to her adoption. gra- is a prefix meaning "daughter of", daughter of Atuash Luzgarz. It's not something she likes to identify with - not out of shame, but fear of ostracization. Mainland Bretons don't look kindly on Orcs or their kin - even adopted.

11. Her father was a Cult of Malacath practitioner, whilst she followed the Nine (and privately still does). She was never pressured to practice the faith, but he included her in his sacrifices and his meditations at their private shrine. It was a deeply personal event for him, and none of her friends were allowed up to the cave where his shrine was hidden.

12. Clan Luzgarz is old - primarily a mainland Orc clan, which was scattered after the destruction of the Third Orsinium in the early Fourth Era. Most of her relatives have since migrated to the Fourth Orsinium by 4E 201, which still enjoys limited Imperial protection - though the threat of a potential Second Great War may put the kingdom in danger again.

13. She carves figurines in her spare time and hands them to children in the villages and cities she passes through. If she stays in a location long term, she sells them for extra pay in between contracts. Senti, knowing Alteration magic, helps create these figurines with gemstone eyes or silver accents.

14. She specifically had her warhammer made short so that it could be used one handed on horseback as well as in tight quarters, as she regularly had found herself in urban combat during the liberation of Southern Hammerfell.

15. She loves music, but has no ear for pitch when it comes to her own singing. She can play a Breton horn, but doesn't own one, as she travels light.

16. Her birth Constellation is unknown, as no one alive knew her exact birth - Atuash had to narrow down the year she was born based on the opinions of the guardsmen who had first rescued her from the beach as well as midwives and doctors from around betony based on her size and growth.

17. She loves mead, a drink she developed a taste for during her brief time in skyrim immediately following the end of her service in the war. In general, she prefers sweet things over bitter, particularly fruits such as grapes and strawberries.

18. She has a hard time sitting with elves. She does not hate them - her father worshipped the God of the Ostracized. But the amount she'd seen dead, particularly by her hand, makes her nauseous when she's around one in pleasant company. There's a lot of guilt, and there's a lot of things she still sees when she closes her eyes.

19. She rarely feels comfortable visiting High Rock after the death of her Father. Her surname alone paints a target on her back, and things have only gotten tense since the end of the war, particularly between descendants of the Direnni elves and the native Bretons.

20. Despite this discomfort, she does wear the dark velvet green of her native Daggerfall. There is still some pride for her home kingdom within her.

21. She hopes to create her own wedding band for Senti, in the Bretonnic tradition of marriage, very soon.

22. A very good cook! (It's genetic!)

I feel silly posting this but I want to have the kind of talk about my blorbo that other people have so here goes nothing

[lilmissbacon]

Why Jelsa is Ridiculously Stupid

Let me start off by saying that the idea of this ship was cute at first, I have nothing against it. In fact I have a few ships myself that have nothing to back them up. I am not making this to convince people to be anti, stop the ship itself, or spread any form of hate what so ever.

But this Jelsa fandom has gone too far. And when I say "jelsa shippers," of course I don't mean ALL of them, just about 80% of them.

In fact, I'm very appreciative of the few jelsa shippers who don't go around harassing others because "jelsa is life."

Also, allow me to correct you in saying that I'm not a jelsa hater, I'm a jelsa loather. There's a difference. Most jelsa haters, hate jelsa for the sake of hating it.

I genuinely hate it.

And don't go commenting about, "how do you know you don't like it if you've never tried it?" Because you see, that's where you're wrong. I did used to ship it, when I was 11. I was a child, I was new to the internet, I didn't know better. But I do now!

I am writing this so that some who may not know, will now understand why jelsa is bad and because I need to get all of this out of my system. I am slowly dieing inside.

First; I'm gonna go into how all the excuses to ship this are pointless. Next, I'll talk about just how these two would never work out as a couple. Then, will be what the toxicity has done to not just to the ship itself, but to the big four as well. And finally, I'll go into how uncreative the shippers are and just what horrible/stupid things they've done and are still doing.

1) Excuses are Pointless

Excuse #1: They have the same powers.

...Yeah, that's like saying you ship Lavagirl (Sharboy and Lavagirl) and Bolin (LoK) because they can both control lava. That's not a valid reason to ship anyone. There needs to be actual substance and I'll only say that once because that sentence applies to every excuse here.

Excuse #2: They look alike

🤦🤦🤦 First of all: that's also like saying you ship Tiana (Princess and the Frog) and Frozone (The Incredibles) because they're both black. Second of all: no they don't. It may be because I'm an artist so I notice small details, but here's how it is; Jack's hair is white, Elsa's is platinum blonde. Jack has a square chin, Elsa has a round face. Jack is much paler! THEIR EYES AREN'T EVEN THE SAME SHADE OF BLUE!!! Your excuse is null and void. Even so, if characters do look alike, then they're most likely to be related. Especially in animation.

Excuse #3: Jack can teach Elsa to have fun and Elsa can teach Jack to be serious

This clearly proves the point that jelsa shippers don't know these characters. The job of teaching Elsa how to be social and have fun is already taken by Anna. So if anything, Elsa will see Jack as a younger brother. And Jack wouldn't have been chosen to take on such a responsibility of guardianship if he didn't know when to quit. I don't know what it is about playful characters that make people think they're obnoxious. Jack is an immortal teenager with the heart of a child, that's what makes him a good guardian. But he's been alive for over 300 years, he bound to have the mind capacity of an adult and he does know better. He doesn't play when he's in battle, he's dead serious.

Excuse #4: They understand each other because they were both isolated for a long time

I don't know where you come from but people don't really "bond" over their trauma. Infact, if anything, that would make the relationship more unstable. Plus, Elsa isolated herself for 13 years because she was afraid of her powers. Jack was forced into isolation for 300 years! He has never been afraid of his powers and Elsa could still be seen throughout the day by parents and servants. They would never be able understand what the other went through.

Excuse #5: They both have a sister they love

SO WHAT?! At least half of the population have sisters. Simple as that. It's a horrible excuse.

Excuse #6: They both have an enemy in fear

Bruh, almost every fictional character has to deal with their fears, literal or mental. It's not at all unique to these two.

Excuse #7: Jack can teach Elsa to control her powers

She already has control of them by the end of the movie. And even if you mean prier to that, the reason she couldn't control them was because she feared them. I doubt that even if she could see him and if he showed her his powers, she's be irrational, believing that their powers were different.

Excuse #8: William Joyce says he ships it

Really, you're going to base the possibility of a ship because the writer of the 'books' that "inspired" rotg says he likes it. First: the books and movie are not the same worlds. Two: he most likely stated this in order for jelsa shippers to shut up to him about it. And three: his own canon with the books is a mess as it is. With him adding a bunch on random/unnecessary details on twitter that have no relevance or reference in the books. Even if he does ship it, everything that's going on with Jack's character in the books is weird enough as it is. Plus he's physically 14 in the books. I know age doesn't really matter but Elsa would definitely feel weird about dating someone who looks so young when she's currently 24 by the second movie.

Excuse #9: They could've met before the events of rotg

Not a reason to ship them but whatever 🙄 Even if their stories were based in the same world (which it isn't), Elsa never would've believed in fairy tales. Having to grow up so soon and all. She believes in magic, of course, but you need to believe in the individuals themselves in order to see them. Plus it is very clear in rotg that Jamie is Jack's first believer.

Excuse #10: Now that Frozen 2 is out, they are both spirits who followed the memories of their loved ones. They can live forever together!

Once AGAIN, how does this factor to them being a good couple? Plus the title of spirit is different in the Frozen-verse than the Guardian-verse. Guardian-verse; they are un-aging beings who keep the entire world in balance. Frozen-verse; never confirmed to be immortal (especially since 3 out of 5 spirits are inanimate objects), magical things that keep a single forest secure. The only reason the elements needed a fifth spirit was most likely because the one before Elsa died of old age. Plus the idea of Elsa outliving Anna goes against the theme of sisterly love that both movies strive on. This can be changed in fanfiction but I hate how people lie about her mortality for an excuse to ship.

Excuse #11: They're both single

So what? People ship characters who aren't single with other characters all the time. That's not a reason to ship them. Especially since your statement is false because Tooth is Jack's canon love interest.

It is true that jelsa haters will give reasons to not ship that I necessarily don't agree with.

•Like the age gap — Jack has the mental capacity of an adult, as I've said before. He's smart enough to make his own choices.

•Elsa not being immortal — that doesn't mean they can't still date, even if he outlives her. Plus you can change that in fanfiction.

•They come from different studios and will never be canon — Again, this is fanfiction, we can do whatever we want.

•Elsa is independent and shipping her with someone takes her independence away — for one: most of the world is bound to find love at some point in time. I would imagine that Elsa would want to find love like her sister. Two: Mulan, Pocahontas and Jasmine are very independent and they all still ended up with men. Three: she's not that independent to begin with. Independence isn't relationship status, it's your ability to make it on your own and Elsa is clearly, very dependant on Anna and her safety. Which is actually what pushes her to being a bad sister in Frozen 2. In fact it is because they made her more 'independant' in the sequel that Elsa clearly, no longer loves Anna as much as Anna loves her (you can check out Watso Videos' video on YouTube about how Elsa is a bad sister bc I'm not gonna go into it here).

My god that was ALL just part one. This is gonna take forever 😰

2) How they would never work out

For Elsa, she needs someone who is calm and collected. A rock for her to stand on when she's being irrational. Possibly even someone who is very stoic and straight to the point but with enough sense of humor to lighten the mood. And now that I'm thinking about it, Honeymaren fits that description to a tee. I'm not one to push LGBT+ in anyone's face, but I'm not gonna judge ships on characters assumed sexualities either. Even though Honeymaren didn't have much screen time, her personality still showed through and Elsamaren could very well work.

Jack on the other hand needs someone who would be able to keep up with his playful nature as well as be a rock for him to stand on when he's emotional. Tooth is a good suitor even though I don't really ship it myself. Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel could also fit in this description.

They don't have the ability to be each other's rocks. They can't be stable if they both need someone to keep them so. If they were to date, the relationship would crumble before it even began.

Plus Jack has to be a guardian and there are a lot of fanfics that go into this idea of Jack being the king of Arendalle? First off: I'm fairly certain that you can't marry into royalty to become king. At least in the real world. Second: Jack wouldn't be able to handle that responsibility with him already being a guardian. And he can't just leave guardianship either, it was what he always was and was ment to be. And Elsa has the responsibility of keeping a magical forest in check, she can't leave to become a guardian.

3) The Toxicity

Oh my God! The fanfiction! As I usually say, you can do whatever you want in fanfiction. But if you have to butcher all the characters so much in EVERY fanfic in order to make the ship work, then there's clearly something wrong here! In every fanfic I've ever seen, the characters are so out of character it's insane. Not just Jack and Elsa, every character.

Olaf for example, is practically in love with Jack first meeting, in every fanfic. If he were to actually meet Jack, he would be apprehensive of him.

It's horrifying in not only that, but jelsa shippers will add Rapunzel a lot, just in spite of Jackunzel. They turn Rapunzel into a needy ex-girlfriend of Jack's when in reality, she's a very sweet and kind soul. Even if she and Jack had dated, they would've split on good terms and stayed friends after. There have also been cases where they do the same but with Tooth. Sometimes even both and it's honestly sick.

And let's talk about the sexism as well HAHA! I swear to God, they will rewrite Frozen but where Jack will save Elsa instead of Anna. They write Elsa as a hormonal teenage girl who falls in love with Jack within seconds.

This is from an actual jelsa shipper, my dude. WTF!!! They make Jack super dominant as well as a douche who cheats on Elsa half the time. Jack is not that dominant, he's a very emotional guy. And he'd be the most faithful boyfriend on the planet. He was alone for 300 years! If anything, he'd be clingy but not too clingy because he also understands personal space.

And if you like angsty fanfiction where a character cheats on the other, there are literally no fanfics where Elsa cheats on Jack. As if a woman couldn't possibly cheat. This is very sexist towards men and women and is toxic as hell.

If anything, Elsa would cheat on Jack, she's not exactly trustworthy in keeping promises or being loyal.

I swear, half of the jelsa shippers has never even seen rotg and just go by what they read in others fanfiction.

Jelsa shippers have gotten so bad about this ship that they've low-key harassed people for not shipping it, as well as start shipping wars within the big four fandom. That's the reason the fandom truly shrunk after 2013. I've seen posts about people admitting to leaving the fandom because it got so bad.

4) The Shippers

Jelsa shippers have literally threatened lives, not just to other fans but even to the creators of the movies. Literally threatening them into making the ship canon. They've made patitions to make it canon as if that would work. They've even harassed a lot of recent shippers to Elsamaren because "jelsa is canon."

Oh look at that, they're homophobic too...

...

...

...

... That's great 🙃

Isn't it a bigger sin to love a celestial being though? Therefore the fact that you –as a toxic christian– ship Elsa with a spirit it worse.

THEY'RE DELUSIONAL!!! So many of them have shipped jelsa so long that legit think it's canon!

Not only all that mess but there are literally more jelsa games on the internet then there are Merida games. I'm specifying this for personal reasons (aka Merida is my fave Disney princess)

And let's continue on with what really aggravates me as an artist. Jelsa shippers, stealing artwork, mostly from Jackunzel. This is not just a rumor, it's very much real.

And it doesn't help when all of their actual original fanart is just them taking scenes from Frozen and adding Jack. Then to add more salt on the wound is that almost all the fanfiction is the same, whether it'd be based during Frozen, rotg or in a highschool au.

There's literally nothing original about or going on with this ship, even after Frozen 2 came out, the shippers and fanfiction haven't changed. If anything it made the shippers spike up again.

The only thing that could say is original about jelsa is the frost daughter fanon. Oh boy! What we have to unpack here.

This is something that I recently heard about...

...

I am mortified.

Frost daughters is this little thing that jelsa shippers came up with, believing Jack and Elsa (if they could get pregnant) would have nothing but girls. What's scary about it is they're designs. Like they're trying to be original... But it's not really going great.

Most of them are just young!Elsa copies, some are edits of Elsa with Jack's hair color.

For example:

This is fine, this follows genetrical rules. I'm fine with this.

But what has me low-key petrified are some of the other designs.

Like... WTF IS ALL OF THIS!!! Where are this colors coming from?!! I don't understand 😭 You can see in the screen shots that these are literally titled as daughters of jelsa.

The white haired ones are fine. The ginger is understandable. Got it from Elsa's dad's genes. That's okay. A few are wearing pink? They can wear what ever they want. But wtf I'd going on with Nevada? Why is she black? Jack and Elsa the pastiest of white! And you cannot tell me that she got it from Elsa's mom because this was made BEFORE Frozen 2 and her mother is still white as an adult.

Where tf does the blue and pink hair come from? None of these make sense!

I want to kill myself, just looking at these!

That's gonna be the end of this rant

Now I'll say it again, I really have nothing against the ship itself. I too have casual ships that make no sense. But with ALL the fanfiction and fanart being so unoriginal and most jelsa shippers low-key being dangerous, it's hard for me respect people's opinions about it.

I try, trust me, I do! But it's become so murky in my brain that I can't tell the difference anymore and I'm also just not a fan of Elsa's character in general. And I like ships that actually make sense.

And being that I'm an equalist... it's really hard for me to look at this stuff and not get pissed off. I'm sorry if all of this comes off as aggressive because it kinda is.

I'm just very passionate, okay?

I hope you understand where I'm coming from. None of the pictures I used are mine. And I hope you have a good day?

[tvdversefanfiction]

Since i have done this 30day challenge on two of my other pages it was about time I did it for this page, starting firstly with The Vampire Diaries, The Originals and Legacies will soon follow I promise.

So if you do not already no I have zero chill and zero patience so instead of 30 days I just do it all in one go 😂 feel free to sound off in the comments with your opinions, open to reading others' opinions and share in the love for this fandom 💖

1 - Klaus Mikaelson 💖 my king, my heart, the unrequited love of my life (fictional ofcourse)

2 - (in order) Caroline Forbes 👑 Rebekah Mikaelson 👑 Katherine Pierce 👑

3 - Klaroline, always and forever 😍

4 - Bamon or Stexi 🤔 although Stexi was definitely a more loyal friendship and I didnt want them together as a couple like I did Bamon

5 - Claire Holt, Love her to pieces, love her interviews and her post and pre TVD and TO work as an actress.

6 - Joseph Morgan, my husband in my fantasies only 💖 fantastic actor who I cannot wait to see what he does next 😍

7 - Daniel Gillies and Paul Wesley, their bromance is both adorable, authentic and slightly homoerotic 🙊😈

8 - Bamon or Elenijah, Bamon id have legit loved to see as endgame over Delena anyday and Elenijah I'd have love to have seen explored at least.

9 - Although neither the originals or Katherine were in every episode they were far from secondary in my mind, so in terms of secondary I'd say Lexi for sure.

10 - 2 and/or 3, most of the originals arc and Katherine stuff was peak TVD for me.

11 - The 100th episode for so many reasons, the nostalgic lookback at previous characters, Klaroline finally getting it on, a Mebekah reunion and lots of Katherine 👑

12 - He is your first love, I intend to be your last 💖 Klaroline was all kinds of epic and how poetic is it that she wound up being his last love💔

13 - Caroline singing at her mothers funeral 💔

14 - Elena, I know she went through alot but who didn't in the TVDverse, she was the victim and stayed within that role from beginning to end and god was she depressing to watch. She was also largely hypocritical with her judgements over things she too was guilty off 🙄 the fact I loathe her and love Katherine shows the incredible acting range of Nina Dobrev though 💖

15 - Stefan, he is like Angel with the Angelus edge, id say the male elena but that would be harsh as he didnt piss me off nearly as much 😂 he was alright I suppose I just didnt care for him that much, if he died early I'd have been like meh! I couldnt buy evil stefan either instead it made me cringe which is weird because Paul Wesley plays unhinged so well in Tell me a story...oh and also Stefan killed Enzo, not once but twice and he can only blame the humanity switch for one of those kills 😡

16 - i did ship Delena till they got together and lost all their magic, i never shipped Stelena but they did suit each other better than Delena or the very ill advised Steroline which should have stayed a friendship! Bonnie and Jeremy made absolute no sense and had zero chemistry so on those grounds id say those two or Steroline, Steroline itches me up the wrong way the most tbf.

17 - Elena and Caroline, Caroline was the better friend hands down for both Bonnie and Elena but Elena always seemed harsher to Caroline and yet couldnt handle it when Caroline gave her tough love back especially over Delena which tbh Caroline was right....IMO anyways.

18 - I cannot say Candice, Nina, Kat or Claire are anything but amazing actresses so I would never say any of them...maybe the actress who played Liv Parker, she was always kind of one note to me although not terrible but nowhere near as good as the others....I could probably later think of someone else but for now I'll go with her.

19 - Zach Roerig, a typical answer from fans I've noticed but he was just so blah for 8 full seasons I totally get why Im not alone here...also so far him and Steven McQueen are the only ones from TVD to appear in Legacies...Jeremy's cameo i didnt mind, Matts however...like when is he going to die and stay dead already? Sorry matt fans 😂

20 - A good chunk of episodes in season 7, didnt like Elena but didn't like TVD without Elena...would've loved the actress to stay on and either play another role or make Katherine come back preferably 🤩

21 - Most of them I started liking then hating, or hating to liking then back to hating 😂 I dont think I hated anyone from beginning then loved them by the end so ill just give a love to hate, Alaric...I liked him in early seasons but thought he came to a natural end when he died...from 6 onwards after he came back he lost any appeal and felt like he was just there to have another dead ex, then to cockblock Steroline which tbf was a good deed but still didnt revive him 🤣 and I full out despise him in Legacies but I'll dig deeper into that come a Legacies themed version of this challenge 😂

22 - Damon wins hands down here, loved him in the pilot, love turned to like as the show went on and then Delena happened and completely destroyed his chracter, Bamon gave him a much needed revival but Elena soon dragged him down once more...his live for her was obsessive to me, unhealthy and toxic and he couldnt cope without it. BAMON would've fixed all this IMO

23 - Okay stick with me here as this one has multiple answers for me...I'd have rathered Caroline or Bonnie as the main character alongside the salvatores than Elena so thats answer one. Answer two would be I'd have loved Katherine to have been the mainstay doppelganger instead of Elena. Answer three would be more flashbacks of Lexi and her life away from the Salvatores would have been interesting. Last answer, Rebekah should have been in more episodes both on this and TO but I'll probs get more into that when I do TO.

24 - The romances, the vampires, the villains and the aesthetic of Mystic Falls 😍 if you follow my other pages you know obsessed im obsessed with the supernatural genre 🥰

25 - Too much time centred around Delena and Stelena, which I know was the main story of this show their love triangle but it didnt have to be...

26 - Elena daggering Rebekah, my heart broke for Rebekah and hardened towards Elena...her biggest hypocritical move of many too!

27 - Heres one so this post isnt all bashing poor Elena 🤣 i love when Elena and Stefan wind up drinking in that bar together having a good time as friends...honestly wouldnt habe minded more scenes centered on this friendship.

28 - Klaroline getting together in the woods and/or the Klaroline moment in the last episode where he donates money to the boarding school...tbh any Klaroline moment 💖

29 - Liz's death and funeral, my heart breaks for Caroline everytime and Damon too, loved Liz and Damon's friendship 💔

30 - Almost all Lily Salvatore scenes, the worst mother alongside Esther Mikaelson....their deaths make me so happy every single time and I will never apologise for that 🤣
