Sleepless Nights Part 2
Of late odd things had been happening. Odder than usual, that was.
Ever since Roasaria had seen Rhiannon's face, she seemed to see Rhiannon everywhere. She was fairly certain that no one else could see Rhiannon - humans and mutants included.
Rhiannon was everywhere, much to Rosaria's annoyance. She was there when Rosaria was awake, and when she slept and when she was awake. She never left Rosaria's mind, constantly hovering over her.
And that wasn't the worst part.
Of late, other things were happening, too. Rosaria seemingly was hearing the thoughts of everyone around her - humans, mutants, and even animals. She heard them thinking in their native language, and somehow, the thoughts were translating to Rosaria's native language within her mind. And these thoughts kept swirling around her mind.
When she was awake, it was annoying, but she could control it by anchoring her thoughts on a sepecific object or person - just as the Professor had taught her. But the problem was when she slept. She still heard their thoughts and they still swirled around in her mind.
What was worse was that depending on what Rosaria was dreaming of, when she awoke the next morning, it would take place. One night in particular, she wanted water and could feel herself drinking it from her bottle during her sleep - she could feel the water in her throat. The next morning, she awoke to find her desk had somehow been transformed into a pool of water, suspended precariously over Rosaria's head.
Rosaria wasn't sure what was going on. From what the Professor had hypothesized, she was going through a sudden surge in her abilities and that only served to scare her further. She knew in the day, it was not a problem because she was awake and in control. But at night..
So far, it was just a table turned into water, but who knew what it would be the next time? She couldn't afford to take that chance and find out. Because of that, Rosaria had resorted to not sleeping off late.
Some nights, Rosaria would lay awake, staring at the ceiling in her room. Other nights, she'd wander through the Academy halls, hoping to occupy herself and make the time pass by faster.
Most nights, everyone else would be asleep. But on some occasions, she would follow the lights to the library to see Alex flipping through another book in the Professor's collection.
Even though Alex wasn't her favorite person by far, she felt a strange kind of comfort with him. She could talk to him, like really talk to him. And he would just listen - he wouldn't judge her, nor would he peach. He would just quietly read, nodding as she spoke.
But at the same time, Rosaria knew he didn't just brush off her words either. She knew he took them seriously. But at the same time, he had never betrayed her trust.
It was hard for her to explain in words. But she felt comfortable around him. Comfortable enough to sleep.
And so, this had become their routine off late - Alex would wait for her in the library, knowing that she couldn't sleep. Rosaria would meet him in the library and inadvertently would fall asleep beside him as he continued to read a book from the Professor's collection.
And come dawn, everything would return back to normal - Alex would wake up Rosaria, and they'd return to their rooms to get ready for the day once more - both of them awake, both of them in control.

That fucking hospital scene…that is a sequence that I’m glad it didn’t feel like playing the game. Instead, I felt like I wasn’t breathing the entire time. That was one of the most effective sequences of television I’ve ever seen, from the acting to the emphasis on the brutality.
The way Joel seemed to be walking through a dream…that’s the part that hit the hardest. We as the audience were hyperaware of his actions, while he was barely there at all—Sarah and his grief and Ellie were the only things on his mind.
Neil Druckmann really wrote a story that turned a mirror on humanity, and my god am I thankful for both the game and this adaptation.

Sleepless Nights
Alex always had trouble sleeping through the night - his mind was constantly racing with thoughts. He would sleep for a few hours, and then he'd lay awake, aimlessly staring at the ceiling above in his room.
Of late, Alex's had decided to use his time productively and had resorted to heading down to the library when he awoke at night. He honestly preferred this as well - the whole Academy was asleep and the world was silent. There was no one to distract him, no one to annoy him. He could read in peace.
Like this, he had read through several books - history, biology, physics, astronomy. It was great. He had the time to explore the Professor's vast collection of books, absolutely uninterrupted. This was quite literally a dream come true for Alex.
Of course, he could quite literally picture other students' reactions to this - Freya would roll her eyes, scoff, and tease him for voluntarily studying.
But he loved it. He loved learning - be it through books or through training on the field. Alex loved to learn and strives to be a better version of himself every single day. After all, that was one of the core values he was raised with.
Currently, Alex was reading a book on his namesake - Alexander the Great - and his military conquests. Of all the topics in the world, Alex gravitated towards military history. He loved learning about how people fought and, more importantly, how they won.
Briefly, Alex paused, no longer reading but his eyes fixed on the pages of the book nonetheless.
"Couldn't sleep again?" He asked.
He could feel her presence. Even if he couldn't see her right away, Alex always knew when Rosaria was nearby.
Rosaria, on the other hand, looked a little caught off guard. She'd tried her best to be as quiet as possible, not wanting to wake the other students. Once again, Rosaria had heard the same woman speak to her in her mind. Once again, she had egregiously claimed that she and Rosaria were one and the same. Only this time, she'd spoken her name - Rhiannon.
There were other things, too, of course - recurring images of fire, the buring of homes in villages and cities, wailing women, ships siking amid violent waves. But what always bothered Rosaria was that these images always felt so real. It was as if she had truly been there herself, as if there were her own memories. But she hadn't. Rosaria grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and the only other place she'd ever traveled to outside her home state had been the Academy.
This night in particular, she'd woken up startled and panicked only to find half the objects in her room floating above her head. And that panicked her even more - she was using telekinesis in her sleep again. Unable to fall back asleep, Rosaria wandered out of her room to get some water from the kitchen - that's when she saw the light on in the library and allowed her curiosity to get the better of her.
Rosaria shook her head lightly as she took a seat beside Alex, her eyes lightly skimming over the book he was reading. Alex could see her from the corner of her eyes - her face looked tired, troubled.
"Same lady talking?" He asked as he flipped the page of the book. Rosaria nodded quietly , her eyes fixed on the night sky outside through the window.
"What did she say this time?" He asked, glancing at her briefly again.
Rosaria shrugged her shoulders lightly. "That she was me," she answered quietly, her voice barely above a whisper.
Alex didn't know exactly how to process that. Everyone had bad dreams now and then. But in Rosaria's case, he'd stopped suspecting them to be dreams a while back. She'd told him that she'd heard voices and whispers all her life - when she was asleep and even when she was awake at times. Moreover, Alex had seen it himself - he had caught her seemingly speaking to herself when she believed she was alone. These were not dreams. But at the same time, he wasn't quite sure if what they were either.
"Did you tell the Professor?" He asked. Rosaria shook her head slightly. "I will," she answered. Her voice was tired, distant. This was the fifth night in a week she'd joined him in the library, unable to sleep after all.
Rosaria's eyes wandered across the library, briefly skimming over the titles of books on the shelves in front of her before returning to the window again. The night was so peaceful, she thought to herself quietly. So still.
Before she knew it, her eyes began to feel heavier and started to become harder for her to keep open. And before she knew it, her eyes were closed, and she'd drifted into a deep slumber, unable to stay awake any longer.
At first, Rosaria fell asleep sitting on the chair. But soon enough, her body leaned towards Alex, her head resting on his shoulder as she fell asleep, her red hair falling over her face.
Alex's body stiffened slightly as he felt the weight of Rosaria's body leaning against his right arm. She's really tired, he thought to himself silently. Otherwise, Rosaria wouldn't have just fallen asleep anywhere like this. Normally, she was quite particular about sleeping in her room as she would telekineticly move objects around her now and then in her sleep. So the fact that she fell asleep so easily here was concerning for Alex because it meant that she was truly exhausted.
Alex also made a mental note to ask her about this woman - this is getting out of hand, he thought to himself.
He was fairly sure that this wasn't a dream. But it could be anything - someone else telepathicly reaching out to Rosaria in her sleep, a ghost, a demon, her own overactive imagination after binge watching Charmed for the 20th time, anything.
Alex needed to look into this, and if Rosaria wouldn't tell the Professor, he would. Rosaria not being sharp and on point affected everyone after all - she was an incredibly strong telepath, and her telekinetic abilities were some of the strongest Alex had ever seen.
With his left index finger, Alex turned the page of the book in front of him, continuing to read, not particularly focusing on the words or the material on the pages.
Alex was in two minds - he wasn't sure if he should let her sleep like this or if he should wake her up. If he did wake her up, he wasn't sure if she'd be able to fall asleep again. But at the same time, he wasn't sure if it was best for her to be sleeping like this either.
Briefly, he glanced up at the clock - it was about 2 AM now. Even if she slept for another 3 hours, it was still better than nothing, Alex rationalized. So, he let her sleep as his eyes glazed across the words of the page in front of him.

Ok say what you will about Maleficent (2014) as a remake or whether it’s a good villain ‘origin story’ or not or how it’s a flawed retelling or whatever-
But, this movie is always going to have a special place in my heart as and AroAce person. Like, not only does the ‘main romance’ get maybe five minutes of screen time total and becomes a little red herring and mostly irrelevant, BUT the movie also has a huge focus on the platonic love and relationship between Maleficent and Aurora, AND on top of that, it’s that platonic love that saves Aurora from the sleeping curse at the end, not the romantic relationship.
Right now that might not seem very revolutionary, but back in 2014, fantasy and fairytale movies, and ones coming from Disney no less- having a story like this was a huge deal, especially to me as an Aromatic and Asexual person.
I remember when the movie first came out I was 11 or 12 (hadn’t discovered the queer community or the terms aro or ace yet) and starting to realize my peers were having crushes and such and felt confused and alone that I didn’t- and then this movie came out and so many of the people around me were baffled by the idea of a non-romantic love taking center stage and saving the day in a fairytale movie from Disney. I swear I watched this movie so many times during that age because it helped me feel that maybe, just maybe I wasn’t broken for not being interested in romance.
~
(context: I’m rewatching the movie and when I dove into the tag for this movie on tumblr, I was severely disappointed that no one was talking about this specifically and mostly had negative things to say about the movie overall)
#maleficent#maleficent 2014#Disney#aromantic#asexual#aro#ace#queer stuff#queer#aroace#aspec#not all the live action disney remakes were 100% terrible is all I’m saying#Anna posts#Anna speaks#my posts#personally I think the movie is less of a remake and more of a reimagining or ‘how this story could’ve gone differently’#also I think a lot of people don’t like the idea of villains being humanized but that’s a different conversation for another time
