#and then Crystal cries

Edwin's magic ???

Odd thing about Edwin’s magic use is, you’d sort of think he’d be better at it?

Very smart and studious, probably at this for twenty years or more but still gets the books out for each spell? We do stan a careful wielder of supernatural fuckery but ‘gestures towards the cats’ he is not that.

So, what if he is better than he seems?

What if the first spells he learnt were in Hell, and they are cruel. They are unavoidably cruel.

And he got out and met Charles.

Charles is good. Charles is kind. Charles literally died trying to stop a hate crime. Charles would surely be shocked and destressed were Edwin to use such unnecessarily cruel spells. So Edwin does not use those spells. He can learn others. He will learn others.

But it turns out overwriting the first magic you learnt is more difficult than that. He studies and he practices and still the first spell in mind is always from Hell. It is the fire that burns souls or the ice that forms inside skin or the bindings made of thorns. It is the cruel spell.

It would upset Charles, if Edwin were cruel. And Charles has the Bag, they can bring the books. He does not have to be cruel so he won’t be. And if that means checking every spell and its context before using it so be it. That can be done. There is no need to distress Charles.

(Charles would take his best mate slapping problems with a horrifically painful hogtie over Edwin ever getting hurt any day. But Edwin doesn’t ask.)

Maybe after Port Townsend Edwin finds that he can use the painless binding spell. Maybe a reset from Hell, or a side effect of the Cat King’s binding, or even Ester using it on him even if she made it cruel. Maybe he gets one bit of magic that can be gentle.

But maybe, one day, someone makes the mistake of taking Charles.

Charles cannot be distressed if he is not here, or whole, or well enough to notice what magic Edwin has cast. And then it is discovered that Edwin Payne is really rather good at magic.

Much to his distress.

sorry for not being super active on here anymore I've been doing intense therapy in the last few months and it consistently leaves me a dehydrated husk of a person who can just about handle doing one task per day and all I've done recently is watch YouTube videos with my girlfriend every night and dissociate while staring at my shrimp tank. the soul wants to gif and post but the body says be horizontal and play PowerWash Simulator (2022). but I am very excited that Abbott is back and that they are all back to sharing one brain cell like one of those partial best friend necklaces

ah yes, my favorite media. a grand story about the horror and tragedy of war set featuring a massive space war that was a rebellion against an oppressive colonial empire hellbent on conquest (which also experiments on its subjects), a main cast of mostly female characters, a key romance between two women, and a clone army of female super soldiers.

my favorite character in this story is a woman named rose. though not physically present in the text, her absence echoes throughout the narrative in a way that makes those closest to her do great and terrible things. she comprises one half of the key romance (of which the other half is deeply devoted to her even after she is gone). she has done some deeply awful things in her past, but that doesn't stop me excusing her shitty actions <3

wait, am i talking about steven universe or once upon a time in space?

(meme redraw lol)

Thinking about Charles et al going to a performance of Hadestown and being this person. But also it's just a story, and you can rewrite the ending. Reaching out for Edwin's hand, knowing he already did.

T.R.N.K⚡and Cris! ✨

Bonus:

TRNK: You... look like ... her.

Cris: Who?

TRNK: ...Someone small... Like you

-----//

TRNK lost his memory after so many tests to revive him, they messed with his head a lot. With that and the addition of a large amount of electricity... It becomes very unstable.

Apparently someone didn't rest in peace after death

I like to think of him as Frankenstein. And that even though this happened to him, deep down in his head, he's still human.
