#bc believe me... she'll hunt for them

[gauloiseblue]

Ok so, you don't have to do this if you're not accepting requests. But I am way too insane about IOFAB and idk why. It has been in my head since the beginning of May. I couldn't focus for weeks, that's how good it is (it didn't really help that the Kendrick v Drizzy beatdown happened).

Can we have more stuff in the IOFAB verse? Maybe something from König's POV (this guy has to be aware that he's just making her hate him even more)? Maybe life after the last escape/shooting incident can't believe the guy actually did multiple rounds with a bullet in his shoulder that's gotta hurt, pregnancy, or kids? Or maybe domestic horror fluff (if that's actually a thing)? Or something about how he managed to keep reader as his lawfully kidnapped wife (this guy definitely put trackers in her ring)? I just realized that I keep referring to reader/darling as his wife even though they ain't married yet Or maybe even an alternate timeline in which deals with what would happen if they did meet but those guys had to actually disclose that they found those survivors which would mean König would not be able to have her?

IOFAB König is so different from the other yandere Königs because he actually shows his hand right in the beginning. Like he's not just some oWo shy guy that is a yandere that goes “maybe I should keep you here with me so that you wouldn't leave me, schatz haha jk... unless 🙂”. He just straight up “You're with me now. Sooner you accept it, the better it will be for you”. He wouldn't hurt reader but he definitely wouldn't hesitate to drop kick a kitten or even his children if they would somehow aid her in her escape.

Something something he would put the world at her feet but wouldn't ever let her see her family ever again. Something something you could put the world through eternal winter and starvation but he won't ever let his goddess go, not even for 6 months. Something something he would hunt her down in their next life. Something something God never blessed him so he's taking one of His blessed angels for himself. Something something he's worshipping the ground her chained feet walk on. Ok now this is getting too long. In short, this guy warrants the “Why are you like this” microscope and “You're not a human nor a dog but a secret third thing” and you don't have to but if you want to, please please please please please can we have more IOFAB?

Zero, you're now officially the number one fans of IOFAB XD idk if I should be glad or concerned about it.

I mean, if you wanna theorize about their future and stuff, I'll gladly answer it. But for me, the story already ended here. I don't really plan to write a continuation of it. Maybe I'll write a lil bit of it in other people's POVs but that's it.

As for König's POV, I think we've covered a lot about his psychology. Like, of course he knew she hated him, but it wouldn't last. If he keeps on giving her what she needs (tolerance, space, care, etc), she'll eventually come to love him, or at least tolerate his presence. It's like a 'trust the process' situation.

I won't really write about pregnancy and kids, because it's more fun when I let the reader decide what's best for her. My actual HC is she'll only have 1 kid, and it's a boy. That's it.

There are 3 endings that I've thought about, it's either; (1) she manages to escape with the help of the maid (The Handmaiden storyline, wlw), (2) she's staying with him until the end (Göth's dream), (3) she's rescued by the third party, there's a possibility that he or the reader dies in this scenario (the realistic ending). But I won't make either of them canon, bc where's the fun in that?

As for the AUs, I haven't got the right idea for it. I think yours is good, but I honestly don't know where to start 😅

Personally, in my humblest opinion, I think shy yandere shouldn't exist in fiction. I fucking hate it, because it's very manipulative in the cheapest way. Like, they'd appear "harmless" like a weirdo, but would go 180° at any given chance. And what makes me hate them the most is that they'd go back to their shy shell when they're being cornered. They can't and won't take any responsibility for their actions. Oh, he kissed you without your consent? Well, that's your fault bc you seduced him (even if you didn't). Every time I read about a shy yandere man, I just wanna bash his head with a bat. Like, you're not fooling anyone with that attitude. Just take what you want and admit it, even if it means you have to be ruthless.

I must admit, IOFAB König does hold a "secret third thing" vibe, because I don't think he exists irl in terms of personality. He's like, if patience is taken too far, and if patience is the source of horror. He doesn't really worship her, but he views her as the rarest and the most exotic thing. If you ever read about the exotic animal keeper, or the curator of the rarest arts, then you'll understand why he behaves that way. They're very patient, and they're very possessive of their treasure. If the tiger that they keep bites their arm, they won't put it down. They'll find a way to tame it—they'll try to win its affection instead. If one particular art requires so much maintenance, and so much cost to keep it in good condition, the curator would pay for it. They won't abandon the art piece, because they know how much it's worth. That's how König views his wife.

I know it sounds like he's objectifying his wife, but sometimes humans love their things more than other humans. I'm just using that feeling as the base for IOFAB König.

Maybe I'll write about the domestic horror stuff, but I still don't know how, so no promise 🤔

[acourtofthought]

god THANK YOU for pointing the whole Bryce and Azriel situation. Even tho you needn't to go this hard lol its basic logic!! Bryce lives in another whole universe is desperate to save her mate and brother. She's worried sick for them do you think she will forget about them to what? catch feelings for Azriel? I'm pretty sure the time she's in Velaris she'll try to save her mate and find some answers! LIKE BE SERIOUS FOR A SECOND!!!

Why sjm fandoms have an obsession about fated mates not being mates lmao idk how many times sjm wrote "MATE" in Bryce and Hunts pov the word that everyone keep saying is overused! well honey if she doesn't do that ppl won't believe they're mates! Like now, ppl are reaching with their theories that they're not mates. Same goes about Elain and Lucien so you see... SHE HAS NO OTHER CHOICE bc ppl have tendency to go all blind over that word lmao

And what is really amusing is that the arguments are so contradictory.

Bryce and Hunt have chosen one another and as a result, they ended up sharing a mating bond that is similar to what the Fae experience with their mates (scents merging, Hunt going crazy to protect his mate, SJM actually calling them mates/ true mates and all that jazz) yet some in the fandom insist they are not endgame because they believe they are not actual mates as their bond reads somewhat different than the Prythian bonds (which to me makes sense considering they are farther from magic than the ACOTAR characters and neither is 100% fae).

BUT......with Elucien, they'll say that they won't end up together because even though they are actual mates in canon with a bond that snapped and everything, they didn't CHOOSE to be together.

....................................................................................🧐🤦‍♀️

We're damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Somehow Feysands love is valid even though Rhys knew she was his mate almost immediately. No one claims his love for her is lessened because he suspected they were mates from the start.

But Elucien can't fall for one another because then, it's "just because of the bond".

But Bryce and Hunt can't end up staying together because even though they chose one another, their bond came about differently, and that means there's someone else out there she's meant to be with just because she shares a true bond with them.

This fandom is enough to give you a headache some days.

Maybe people need to realize that SJM is simply giving us a little variety in how these bonds all come about.

One is where the female was first enemies with, then friends with, then knew before the male because he thought he had already lost his mate so he was closed off from seeing who was in front of him the whole time.

One is where the male knew first and he hid it from the female until she fell in love with him.

One is where both the male and female suspected something from the get go but it was never confirmed until they chose to be together.

One is where both the male and female had it immediately snap as strangers and SJM created a storyline where neither was ready to deal with their bond so she's temporarily driven them apart.

One is where the male and female never suspected any bond, chose to be with one another after getting to know each other as friends even though they shared a mutual attraction early on, then had their mating bond begin to solidify after committing.

I don't understand why people think SJM is tossing around the word mate for her characters like it's an interchangeable accessory. If SJM wanted multiple mating bonds then why did Jesminda NOT turn out to be Lucien's mate? Why not have his first mate murdered then give him a second mate? Instead, she made it so he was waiting for the bond to snap into place but it never did because she was never actually his mate, Elain was. Why did Rowan only have a fake mating bond with Lyria? Why not allow Lyria to be his first mate, have Maeve coordinate her death only to trap him so that when his second mate came around, she'd still have control over him?

Instead, SJM has written it so these characters only have one actual mate.

No, not every bond looks the same or snaps the same but in the end, if they have an actual bond where the FMC / MMC character as a couple confirms it's a bond on page, that's the game. Bryce loves Hunt so much she feels that he is her mate and even though it came about differently it is still a bond others can scent and that causes a physical reaction in Hunt, shouldn't that be enough? Where another character confirms they are True Mates in the way fae are? Lucien and Elain confirm they feel a thread /bond between them (terminology used by both Nessian and Feysand) and where it is confirmed they both know what the other is to them. Anyone trying to denying those things as fact is someone who is being driven by disappointment because they were hoping for a different outcome rather than using logic. And yeah, it's never fun when the outcome isn't what we wanted but that still doesn't change anything. Team Jacob fans get it.

JNVEFOHBEFVQRUHBQVFUHBQCVGIU2FHBU3RGNJI3VRJNI3QRVFIJN2CRBOH2HBOV3RJN 3RV I JUST READ UR FALLOUT FIC!!! OMGOMGOMGOMG I LOVED IT!! PLS TALK TO ME MORE ABOUT FOUND FAMILY WITH THEM BC I WROTE MY OWN FIC, AND IM GONNA BE WRITING MORE ABOUT THEM AND I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THEM!! sorry its in all caps, im really excited

NEVER apologize for all caps and excitement!!!! in this house we lose our minds over found family dynamics TOGETHER and we are NOT calm about it lmao

under the read more because spoilers and also i got long winded (shocker)

ugh but literally. i need to do a rewatch because fallout is definitely one of those "watch once to get your brain blasted, watch a second time to catch all the little hints you missed the first time around" kind of shows, and also i just. NEED to watch this again with the full knowledge that cooper's been hunting down his family this whole time. yeah we knew cooper was a dad from the beginning but for us, at first, the logical assumption is that his wife and daughter must be long gone by now! it's been 219 years! it's not until the last episode or two that we start realizing that a lot of people from Before are still kicking around, and that cooper KNOWS that, and that the one thing keeping him going for longer than anyone else is the fact that he wants to see his wife and daughter again. the angst potential of this has me foaming at the mouth, by the way, and that's without even considering lucy yet

like, what's his plan? find janey and barb and... pick up where they left off? maybe two centuries of nuclear fallout will patch up his relationship with his ex-wife? how does he even know they weren't both unfrozen and lived their whole lives without him and died already? (i'll argue that he has not even considered that possibility, and will not, because that'll break him.) and say he does find them, and they're alive. maybe they haven't even been unfrozen yet and he can be the one to wake them up. ideal scenario, right? but will they even recognize him anymore? not just by his physical appearance, either! he is not the same person he was before the bombs fell, not by a longshot! janey's dad wasn't a ruthless mercenary bounty hunter who does what he has to do to survive and makes jerky out of human meat and sells random women to organ harvesters to get drugs! he was a guy who loved his dog and loved his family and who was so morally upright that he didn't even want to fake shoot a guy in a movie, because he believes that's not who his character is. and don't even get me STARTED on the fact that The Ghoul is a character to begin with, it's an act, because he's an actor who fell into this role because i guess it was easiest to survive that way, which means that at heart The Ghoul is also not someone who should be shooting guys. the kindheartedness is there under about 219 years of irradiated, decaying skin. but it's there

and then we get lucy, who's very deliberately written as his echo, a kindhearted morally upright person who doesn't want to let the wasteland change her, and i'll bet MONEY that as the series progresses cooper's gonna have to watch as it really doesn't change her. sure, she'll bite a guy's finger off in self defense, and yeah, she'll mercy kill a ghoul that's way past saving. but through it all she's going to try so hard to do the right thing, every single time, and i'm TELLING you, it's not so much that cooper's gonna get dragged back kicking and screaming into being a good person again, but it's more like he's gonna just start being better. it'll be kickstarted by lucy's influence and the fact that he cannot suppress the dad instincts to save his life, but the reason it'll really stick is because that's his natural setting! whether he wants to admit it or not!

anyway. uh. i ranted about this more than i meant to LOL but please always feel free to shout at me about grumpy morally gray old men allowing fatherhood to gently tug them closer and closer to the neutral good square on a dnd alignment chart. gets me every time

Pls give us ur thoughts on kazquiet!

See, I don't know much about Quiet (...nor most of gz/mgsv lore anyway) just yet, so it's mostly me guessing and pretending

So, to begin with, I think if not for the context, Kaz would've been more than open about her joining them; she already checks all the boxes by being good-looking, but it just so happens that she's also a remarkable soldier

I find her features really adorable, meaning I choose to believe he would too

My guess would be their favorite feature is each other's lips. They're really soft.

I haven't seen a proper comparative, but it seems she's a bit taller than him given that she's almost as tall as Venom? I think Kaz would be the type to be more into women shorter than him (doesn't even need to be a big difference, just that they're shorter), so it'd catch him a bit off-guard to feel interested in her despite that

Afaik she communicates solely on hand gestures, so if they had modern day phones, she'd only use emojis. Which ones, you ask? These: 😺😼😽😾💯💢💥💬👁️‍🗨️🗨️🗯️💭💤🫥+all the hand/s emojis. Furthermore, Kaz has to hear that awful robotic voice describe them to him (the text-to-speech thing).

She'd share all of her music discoveries with him, the two of them sitting next to each other in a somewhat secluded place, leaning their heads on each other... Nobody bothers them during this time because everyone already fears Kaz's average angry mood and they are Not risking their lives to interrupt him nor his Absolutely Lethal & Avid Music Enjoyer Girlfriend

Kaz is a noise/industrial/ambient type of music enjoyer to me; since I know absolutely nothing about Quiet's music taste, I'm assuming it's similar to Venom's. I don't know much about his either LOL but based on the few songs I remember hearing on videos, I'd guess it's kind of soft rock. Thus, Kaz would try to reciprocate her wish to share music but would 100% fail at it because his tastes are just too niche. Some ambient song perhaps, the rest is pure uncomprehensible noise to her

Quiet loves chocolate, the milk chocolate type with nuts or similar. He'll sometimes bring her a bar to cheer her up. He'll also get some Pocky box/es to play with when he's in a particularly good mood

She's just so silly to me, she'll do so many adorable things unawaredly; Kaz is mad because he knows she's not doing it on purpose and he keeps finding himself entranced by her

She does purposely steal his beret though, she likes to annoy him a little bit and also likes to wear it herself

I find her to be like a (cropped) Doberman, as in - misunderstood, has intimidating look, actually very loving and goofy. This being said, i just imagined her going on a mission and coming back with a rabbit or some other animal she specifically hunt for him to eat. She's very happy about it. She looks scary to the rest (except Venom bc he likes her and Ocelot bc he's deranged).

Kazquiet is pretty much non-sexual to me, but I'm under the impression that Kaz would still manage to do things in a way that appears suggestive to others (like licking ice-cream and showing off his "hidden" abilities) (I guess it's just the way he is) (she's looking away)

Quiet definitely teases him though, to a certain extent (like breaking the pocky stick right before they are about to kiss)

Kaz braids her hair, she holds her strands of hair for him

They both use DD to bring stuff to each other if they're busy on base (dw he gets lots of treats and pets for it)

Quiet will sometimes invisibilize, sneak into his room and (lovingly) look at him sleep for a bit, maybe tuck him and give him a little kiss on the forehead or the tip of his nose or on the lips, depends on her mood

They're slow kissers. They're kissing slowly, gently, and caressing each other.

Hey, how are you? I hope you're doing well :D Quick question, could I ask for some Mime Bomb x Reader or some Chase Devineaux x Reader? Either one would be great to have some Headcannons too :) I hope you have a great day/night!

|Chase Devineaux X Reader|

a/n: tbh i haven't written for mr. 'to hunt' in a while, i still gotta redo all my older works lol working on the mb hcs rn!

pairing: chase devineaux x reader

post type: headcannons

requested: yes

word count: 0.7k

warnings: mentions of acts of violence, slight ptsd mention, food, mmm french agent, lovey dovey, pls don't fail me mobile tumblr

one of his greatest worries in your relationship is something happening to you. he knows his line of work is dangerous, so he will keep his distance from you in the beginning to protect you. chase knows from first-hand experience how terrifying both vile and acme can be, so he will do what he can to prevent you from getting hurt.

however, he physically cannot stay away from you. you're the sigh of relief he’s always needed in his life. he considers it a privilege to be yours, completely and entirely belonging to you. he’s lucky you wanted to even go to that first date with him, let alone staying by his side.

chase struggles with self-esteem issues more than he’ll let on. once you know what to look for, it's easy to notice. he’ll skip meals and showers to focus on his work. he can't be so close yet so far from figuring out what everything means.

it’s a slow progression for him to get into this mindspace, but it's no trouble for you to take him out of it. hold his hand and gently move him to the table for dinner, sit him down and shave his face for him (maybe even shower with him or bathe him yourself, this doesn't even need to be sexual!), hold him close and play with his hair, the frenchman loves to be pampered but won't admit it.

the longer your relationship lasts, the healthier he’ll become. he wants the best for you, hence he'll be the best.

holding him in the depth of night is a loved activity between you both. your head rested on his chest, the hair tickling your face ever so softly. you'll both whisper to each other about any and everything. he tends to tell you about his days since they're filled with humor (and he loves hearing you laugh). his accent is the thickest at this time unless you both usually speak french to one another.

“and then, i 'ad to buy a new coat. i still think that the mime is up to something..”

for the sake of his sanity and for your safety, try your best not to get involved with carmen sandiego. (i'm so lying DO IT it's good story)

if you do find yourself in this situation, expect her to give you a few friendly quips of her own. nothing malicious, don't worry! (maybe a little flirty at first bc she's Like That but once you shut it down she'll respect that.)

your lover doesn't like how much he has to travel for work. all of these gorgeous sights but the most beautiful is waiting for him to come home :(

even if he wanted to bring you along, (he doesn't for the sake of your health and that is the Only Reason) acme isn't fond of the idea of someone who doesn't work for them getting into trouble and them having to clean up the mess. especially since they’d be with Mr. Accident-Prone.

however, if you do work for acme, expect chase to request being your partner to every mission.

“Agent Zari has already been selected to accompany them, Devineaux.”

“....Yes, but-”

the moments where he can take a deep breath and let his walls come down are few and far inbetween, but in those moments he's viscously flirty.

he’ll go all out on his compliments that leave you flustered. he's very touchy!

he can give it all until he's given his soul too, but once he receives anything he's a mess. caress the side of his face, call him handsome, run your hands over the nape of his neck. he's gone, melted into a puddle on the floor.

he smells good. you tell him every now and then, he'll believe you but not entirely. he knows that he doesn't smell bad but he doesn't realize just how much peace he brings when his hugs engulf you. he will after some time though.

he can't cook if his life depended on it but he's an amazing baker. expect treats often! he’ll gift you the sweets for any reason, as well. (because ‘why not’ also counts as a reason)

mmmm strong hands mmm that hold you gently mmmmmmm

he wants a future with you. what you want that to contain is up to you, but the thought of waking up everyday to your face makes him feel giddy.

chase devineaux is a flawed man, but there isn't anything he can't do by your side.

1, 4 and 5 for the oc asks?

1. On a scale of “is occasionally forced to bathe” to “Instagram model with sponsors to hoe for” how involved is your OC’s Skincare routine?

involved as in she takes a great deal in looking after her appearance but not finicky to the point that she's extra strict with the ingredients going on her face or the kind of diet she has so she can look better. her appearance is definitely one of the things she takes great pride on, so maintenance is def something she does as part of her nightly routine -and shri'iia is def a creature of habit so she has her own skincare routine that she does, then as the creams are settling in her face she's gonna polish her armour, her weapon, prepare her poisons, etc. she likes to keep herself busy!

4. What’s your OC’s response to being asked for money by a homeless person?

probably laugh 😭 listen. shri'iia is NOT the kindest nor the most generous, and she really does not believe in charity. she def still has that drow victim blaming mindset and she believes more if someone gets up and helps themselves rather than beg for it, so in a chance that someone asks for her coins, she would just laugh at them and say no. the only time she'll be charitable is when it comes to something regarding her oath - so if someone is in need to break away from their master - THAT'S when she will come running, free of charge, but in general, she really won't help.

5. Does your OC get lost easily? What do they do when they do get lost?

frequently, especially in the surface world where she is still so very unfamiliar with the terrains and landscape both in cities and in the wild. i imagine she navigates through the underdark much more comfortably since the dark is her home and she is more comfortable with seeing things with her darkvision rather than seeing them in the light. if she is lost, she will try to act like she isn't while trying to figure out how to navigate herself. shri'iia will try to avoid asking for directions especially if she's in some small town since she's not sure how they'll react to seeing a drow in the surface, and imagine her paranoia is flaring and she's trying her best to calm her nerves. like in the first 30 mins she'll probably be fine but as the longer it goes, that's when she'll start getting bewildered and anxious and she feels like she's gonna get hunted for sport and everyone will be out to kill her but she's FINE btw she's not gonna ask for your help...!! she can work this out.......!!

also a hag romance thought i really do like the idea that he just ends up holding her hand when they visited baldur's gate for the first time (in my head it's more crowded than what it is in game lmfao) bc she was just standing there like 🧍‼️ looking very bewildered and overwhelmed. not it's become a thing that they do where he'll just hold her hand if they're in some crowded space so she doesn't get lost.

oc questions that helped me with characterization

[yanderepuck]

I have decided to do Arthurs route since it's been about 2 years

And everyday I'm going to give you my thoughts

Chapter 1

I hate this man

*end post*

I was gonna joke and just post that everyday, but I'm going to actually talk about it

This is the only time MC has ever paid attention to something and has been right about it. This is more praise on MC. But don't worry, it's short-lived.

"don't be silly, you're still alive" I do love that they point this out. It doesn't go any farther with it, probably bc this route was the 4th released route and so they don't expect the reader to think too much yet. But I like to think vampire Arthur is fucking around with Human Arthur. Publishing things without using a different name and such. Still talks to Harry Houdini and some of his writer friends.

CANON THAT THIS BITCH GOES BATSHIT CRAZY OVER FAIRIES. He's convinced Jean that they are real and they are going fairy hunting. Theo watches from a window in the mansion and is like "wtf is he doing"

Anyway. We get to the long awaited part of Arthur desperately trying to convince us they are all vampires. WHY DOESNT THIS BITCH TAKE THE HINT THAT I DONT BELIEVE YOU. LETS NOT TALK ABOUT THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. And like I said, hes the 4th route to come out, so Sebastian is still very Butler-y and won't tell Arthur to stop and drop it. AND HE LEAVES MC ALONE. In later routes Sebastian has more personality and probably wouldn't do that. In later routes Sebastian has no issue telling a resident no.

I do like that MC acknowledges that leaving the mansion at that moment is a horrible idea and that she'll just stay in her room for now. But Arthur thinks she's going to leave and grabs her and starts licking her. And Mc was too stunned to...do anything really. I know Arthur is a flirt ...BUT I GET RAPY VIBES OKAY. YOU SCARED HER SHITLESS AND YOU KNOW THIS AND NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE A MOVE.

Also why does he have so much blood on his collar. It's not like his neck was bitten. How did you bite someone and get blood on your neck???? Sloppy if you ask me. Now Sebastian has to get that out you twat.

I will preface the next month with this: Arthur is hot. He's flirty and fun. By the end of his route how can you not have feelings for him? His route is fairly romantic and sensual. I just have a hard time believing a man like him, in less than a month could fall in love with someone enough to be loyal to them. Because through this month he has flings, threesomes even. It's not like he's even playing with the thought of liking her. It's sudden, and then out of nowhere he is loyal? Mc must be REAL good in bed to keep a manwhore like that. BUT THAT BEING SAID: I KNOW IN SOME CHAPTERS I WILL SWOON FOR THIS MAN. I STILL FUCKING HATE HIM.

[caspianxth]

SHADOW AND BONE SPOILERS!

okay first, Kaz would have not fucking given up his cane, and for a king?!?!? love it but he would not do that, it was adorable tho. Second, he just wanted to be loved:( i think i read it in the book cause they never said it in the show but all he wanted was the love of his people, and for them to be safe, and look what it cost him:( Third, why would they change all that, like yes i get this is basically a prequel for six of crows BUT i enjoyed jesper and wylan being slow burn and now theyre a thing?? like what happpens now instead of all the teasing and pining in both upcoming heists, and also with kanej, cause like yeah the love confession was word for word which was nice BUT theyre still TWO heists to come, what about the pining!?!?!! and speaking of inej, she's now free and also a slaver-hunting pirate, which is all she wanted but what about the heists!!!!! like i guess she'll come back out of the love in her heart but why have her achieve her dream just to give it all up?? And don't even get me started on Mal and Alina, like i get their story hasnt really ended, especially with the nikolai thing (poor baby), but wtf.

Despite all of that, I really enjoyed it, it was really well made, I just wish I didn't compare everything with the books, anyway, sending love, thanks for letting me rant none of my friends like s&b.

I do v much agree that it's v diff from the books, but I don't hate that! lemme dive in under the cut tho <3

I wish they had more time bc they were trying to do So Much though and I feel like nikolai's arc as a monster was just weirdly done. alas, lemme dive in!!

I actually disagree on the cane, and here's why. kaz had no reason to tell inej about jordie. he even says in his chapter he had no idea why he did it. was it because he loved her? or was it that he truly felt like she deserved to know? why would she deserve to know??? he also expands on this with jesper, someone who unwittingly betrayed him! he sees jesper as jordie and then when jesper asks who jordie is after kaz slipped and called him jordie, he doesn't tell jesper off, he doesn't shut down. he tells jesper that jordie was someone who meant a lot to him in a way that makes it pretty clear for me that he truly cares for jesper too. he didn't have to do that, but he did it for inej and for jesper, the crows who have been by his side longest. also in soc he allows the crows to drag him to a different cafe in djerholm after they stake out the prison transports. kaz's way is the highway at this point in soc, the crows haven't learned that they can team up on him the way nina and inej do for the ketterdam grisha in crooked kingdom, they didn't have to relocate, but they did. if kaz wanted to shut down their complaining he would have. instead he gave into their apparent need for sweet buns and hot cocoa. also, when we get flashbacks from the ferolind via wylan in crooked kingdom, kaz was the one who was warning wylan about tailoring his face using nina's powers on parem and it was kaz that believed that wylan's father still loved him. he even bet on it and lost (which is hilarious btw, I mean not for wylan but u get me). also, in crooked kingdom after kaz robs cornelius smeet and then crashes into him to return the dog whistle and returns his wallet, smeet gives kaz 5 kruge. he then turns and gives that to wylan. sure, they have pekka's money, but why would kaz brekker give wylan something for nothing? he also steals back jesper's pistols from club cumulus's safe. he claimed that a shooter's nothing without his guns, but jesper helped get his dad and wylan back to black veil just fine without his beloved revolvers. kaz also swore to inej that even if her legs were broken, he'd come back for her. yeah, he's in love with her, but would he do that if there wasn't still a kernel of kaz rietveld inside him?? would he give wylan 5 kruge or warn him that he might always have kuwei's face?? would he have worked so hard from the initial heist at smeet's to get wylan back his money by replacing jan's will??? no. dirtyhands wouldn't. kaz rietveld would. there's still pieces of him there, and that's exactly why he'd give his cane to nikolai. firstly, he still needs to be paid, a slow king is an easily killed king, and as kaz himself said he is more experienced with pain. it's the most logical move to make. kaz is also someone who still has kindness in him despite what he says, even in the show when he promises that he'll help nina w freeing matthias. there's a heart buried in him, and I for one love to get peeks at it. also I think they made his need to be loved by his crows in the show decently clear, like when he asks wylan when he last ate or when he gives up the deed for the crow club for inej (let's face it, dirtyhands could have found a way to get leverage on helene to make that work without risking everything for inej but he did it bc he cares about her) and with how he was keeping jesper's zowa powers a secret. even though jesper's zowa powers could have been pretty useful before, kaz said nothing. he also wanted all of the crows in the building when he took pekka down. inej was the only crow not in attendance (and matthias but he's in jail, so he kinda has bigger shit but kaz still paid the guards to keep him out of the fights).

w the wesper: gimme gimme gimme!!! I'd rather get it fast than not at all esp w how weird netflix has been the past year with what gets renewals and spinoffs and what gets cancelled. and I think they did it in a way that was very true to the characters!! it's so cute!!!! the stroopes!! you remember that nOW??!!??!?!?!? and can we talk about tolya being the #1 wesper shipper!!! also there's a gifset idk if I can find it tonight but it's kaz saying 'everyone's losing their minds' after wylan and jesper kiss outside ohval's and the caption on the gifset is 'my brother in ghezen you set them up' and I think about that a lot.

with inej I think that it's great that she's slave hunting early bc I think that it gives a really great opportunity for a bit of kanej closure that the books never had. at the end of crooked kingdom, inej prepares to leave and just says she isn't done w ketterdam (and by extension kaz) yet but that's p much it, even in king of scars / rule of wolves we don't get concrete kanej. I think with inej's story, it gives her that option to find her family and get that closure, and hell that could've been the payment kaz asked for when they returned to ravka, we don't know, but once she finds the slavers it'll bring her closure and I think that'll help give us a possibility of a definitive kanej endgame for the show.

also w the not malina end, I'm sorry but I'm all for it. I think it makes sense esp bc she used merzost to rip him away from death. we saw him in the field, he was content, he was at peace, and she legit Yanked him back. I think a part of him knows that. also, he did die. that no doubt changed him, so he's v right to explore who he is if not a mythical tracker and I loved nikolai dread-pirate-roberts-ing him by making him the new sturmhond even tho he isn't in charge. also I really really wish they'd done nikolai's monster story better. I wanted to see him w the wings and the talons and all they did was make him look like a nichevo'ya. boo!! but I think they were just trying to set up too much and cut a ton (harshaw and oncat 😭) and redo stuff to make it work, it felt like at times alina got sidelined for everything else they had to do.

also of course!!! ur welcome in my inbox bestie!!!

[forgottenroisin]

NAME METAS

ok so i looked up the girls name meanings the other day before work, and then i had a bunch of pricing so basically i just ruminated on it all day!! lskdjfkalsdjf

ok so this is basically my thesis:

forgottenroisin rosie, any time someone brings this up: our parents named us each smth that evokes love! bc, when you dissect what our names each really mean, they all boil down to smth beautiful: hope, faith, life, and wonder! ;D

EITHNE: kernel/grain, little fire = HOPE

forgotteneithne: #eithne's name meaning grain#is so on point bc i think even when she WASN'T the person cooking for the whole house#she very much wanted to norish and care for everyone#i love this sm <3

ok so!! eithne!! when you think about it -- what is a kernel? it's a seed. its life, but potential life. w hat is grain? its food. its nourishment. eithne is, thus, in her person potential that nourishes, provides, sustains! she isn't just the next lady of malconaire, she ~is malconaire, and she's everything it needs!!! a kernel is a whole map of life, its everything that is required to grow and to flourish: all it needs is the soil of malconaire, and a little rain.

and little fire? what is that? brilliance, brightness, a light to see by, but smth to galvanize as well, smth to guide, to keep you warm! to comfort but also to inspire! but not enough to harm: this isn't some destructive force, its heat and passion without fury or cruelty!

brought together, what concept does these two ideas jointly embody? hope! and if that doesn't fit our eithne!! just as kate was saying!! she literally puts food in their bellies, looking out for those around her, keeping them strong, helping them move forward when they're too tired to keep fighting! providing warmth and nourishment!! our girl embodies hope <33333

BRIGIT: exulted one = FAITH

ok so how much do i looooove the irony that, to valentina and cassimir, brigit is the most despised of the siblings...and yet she's the exulted one!!!!! lksdjfalksjdf ok so, like, this one is working on a couple levels for our girl! first, she's of noble birth, second, she's a seer. but both of those also play into this pull/push irony she's got going on: she's a conquered noble. she's a hunted seer. the very things that seek to tear her down are what set her apart. plus, there's the whole angle that she's honored by the guardians with the sight, itself!

ok, so what is exultation, when you break it down? its honor, right, but its belief, also! its this unwavering belief in smth higher, brighter, better, and we already know what brigit is at heart: she's a rebel! another irony instrinsic to her naming, bc rebels don't tend to receive exultation, yet its this v indomitable spirit that is her crowning glory: she won't be turned away. she'll fight on! and its ~that unyielding spirit that is exultant and to be exulted in her!

she's faith. something to believe in, but something too that believes. she doesn't blink. she looks hardship in the face and she charges forward for the good of others. there's also the seeress angle: both literal, religious faith, but also solidity and complete certainty that things can and will be better if you've just got enough faith in it to fight for what you believe in!

AOIFE: beauty, to breathe/to live = LIFE

forgottenaoife: #i think aoife probably is like... my name's meaning doesn't really reflect me that much#but honestly like the idea that its just to breathe and to live#which is really all she wants to do#is perfect <3 margueritedemarigny: you know rosie out here preaching abt the simple yet sublime beauty of life itself as embodied by aoife <3333333

lskdafjklsdfj so i already showed my hand here w the above but that's just the crux of it! in a lot of ways, aoife is the most beautiful of the sisters: pure and good and kind. she doesn't draw attention to herself, she lets her actions speak for her. she breathes. she lives, blooming like a winter rose beneath a bed of ice: stronger than the others bc she doesn't demand attention. she simply is and, in this way, is perhaps most genuine. most beautiful.

but aoife is also the most caged. most controlled. she's trapped by her quietude -- valentina taking advantage of her kindess -- but she's freed by it as well -- in turn taking advantge of valentina's blindness. bc of these qualities, aoife is able to do what none of her sisters can do, while remaining perhaps the most clear-sighted of them all.

as kate said, all aoife really wants is to live and to breathe. but she doesn't believe in her own beauty, or in the beauty of that simple, pure wish. i already summed it up in rosie's quote, but i'll leave you with a simple question: what could be more beautiful than to simply be? to live, to breathe? and who, then, more beautiful than one whose only wish is for the purity of those things?

ROISIN: little rose, little famous kind = WONDER

ok so we all know rosie gets lost in the wonder of life, right, but how do we get there from roses and fame? don't worry, i got you, and the answer is simple: nature! lksadjflksdjfjk all of astaira, but perhaps house malconaire most of all, has a reverence -- a wonder -- for the natural world. roses are perhaps the most famous of all blossoms. in fact, the word rose -- when you look into it -- doesn't actually mean red or even that particular flower we call such: it means, more or less, famous one, and thus the flower was dubbed. the famed beauty of nature, literally blooming with meaning. rosie's name isn't just floral, its growing, blooming, and inviting of awe. quite wonderful, right? ;D

no, but now that we've discussed the rose, lets talk about the famous kind, without the rose! rosie's wants are pr soaring. rosie wants love and joy and excitement. she wants romance and adventure and escape. but she also wants an idyll -- she loves to explore, to question, to consider: she's a malconaire, she can't help but be a little down to earth, but she's also imaginative and even a little irrational. she wants the big, bombastic things -- she even soemtimes thinks itd be grand to be a princess! literal fame! tbh idk that she'd enjoy the actuality of that, but the idea seems nice, esp bc -- and here is where i relate fame to reputation -- it'd allow her to finally stick it to her stepmother! fame is leaping and vaunting and GRAND in scale, and so are rosie's dreams!

bringing these concepts together -- high-vaunting ideas with extraordinary beauty, what are you left with but the theme of wonder? rosie's greatest virtue, and biggest downfall, yet the thing that best characterizes the way she looks at the world and experiences life! to dream big, to appreciate the breathtaking world around you for all that it is and all that it can be, what is that but wonder?

CONCLUSION

in conclusion -- idk if their parents intended these meanings, but if you ask rosie they def did!!!! this is 100% her belief <33333 ngl i do think its partially a way to feel close to them too now that they're gone -- 'they knew us so intimately from birth they named us this way knowing this would happen and knowing what will happen in future so in a way they're still w us' almost kinda thing <3

OOC | Malconaire Names

ok so now that we've got the parents named, i went on a lil [ name meaning ] spree and looked up all our kids! and i love how these all like...fit but in an unexpected way!!

Macdara -- son of oak

Sorcha -- radiant/bright, lady/princess/noblewoman, clear/bright/famous

Eithne — kernel, grain/little fire

Brigit — exulted one

Aoife — beauty/to breathe, to live

Roisin — little rose/little famous type/kind

while im at it...imma hit up the ~vasilieva!malconaires, too!

Valentina -- strong/vigorous/healthy/fertile

Cassimir -- DESTROYER OF WORLDS lkdfjksdaljfjld...anyyyywayyyy (literally it means 'to destroy peace/the world')

Sonya -- little wisdom/little lover of knowledge

i was gonna do a lil chatting/meta abt how this fits rosie but im too laskdjflksdjfkdsf about cassimir's name!!!! valentina whatre you doing alksjdfkljsdf i know she dreamed of having a son her whole life so there's no way she didn't know what his name meant and alksdjflkjsdkfjlsdf ngl i always assumed he was named for some famous king they're like ~vaguely related to or smth like that, but still like alkjsdflkjdsjkfjkdsf OMGGGGGG OBLITERATOR OF PEACE -- its legit like naming ur kid 'ruiner' like someone put this innocent newborn she'd carried for nine months in her arms and she was like 'THIS is the only name for him' laksdjfkljdsjfjkdsf kernal/grain/little fire that's basically like naming ur kid 'hope' like....

HOPE x RUINER = NOTP for her w/ valentina truly be like 'yknow the kid in this pairing whose parents really messed them up???? EITHNE' kaljsdfkljdjslfjkdsf SCREAM

rosie's meta's gonna have to wait...god, i really shoulda put this on @forgottenvalentina -- i didn't knowwwwww until it was too late alksjdfklsdjf

Apparently I have Thoughts that will not be contained despite how irrelevant/overstated they are lol

Even if caryl still got the spinoff that we were promised, I'd STILL be irritated that negan and Maggie got a spinoff. I really and truly cannot believe that Negan isn't dead yet. I know they're pushing the whole "Maggie is just as bad as negan!" Thing but like. She's not. Even when negans instawife dies while pregnant, Maggie's not as bad as negan. Even if Maggie murders negan's pregnant instawife herself - which theres no way she'll do - she's not as bad as negan.

The fact of the matter is that Gimple went too fuckin far with Negan. I get that men are basically incapable of writing villains unless they're rapists (Shane tried to rape Lori, the Governor sexually assaulted Maggie, the Claimers tried to rape Carl, the original Terminus baddies raped all the women, and granted Gareth iirc managed NOT to be a rapist but then again he was only alive for like 3 episodes so there just wasn't enough time for it, and then we have Negan and all his higher up savior buddies with their cognitive dissonance) but like. Come on. When you do that - ESPECIALLY to the level that negan did - there's just... no redemption possible.

And there's no "oo look how our protagonists are just as bad as the villains!" Bc like remind me, did Rick force Rosita to become his wife in exchange for keeping Abe alive? Did Rick force Maggie to marry him in exchange for seeing the Hilltop OBGYN? Did Rick iron Daryl's face when Daryl left the prison with Merle? Did Rick reward Tyreese for keeping Judith alive with guaranteed sex from any woman Tyreese wanted? Hm. Nope.

And so this goes double for Maggie. She's ruthless bc she's protecting what's left of her family. Family, by the way, that NEGAN brutally tortured and murdered in front of her. Yeah, the whole reapers thing was fuckin weird and bizarre and flimsy - did we ever find out WHY they were hunting Maggie? - but the fact of the matter is that she killed them bc she was protecting her family. Not gleefully. Just shot. The end.

Ugh. Just ugh.

[noona96n]

The Guest Ghostbusters AU, you say? I am intrigued. Tell me more, don't be shy, go on, write that fic!

asfghjkldi i can't believe u read my tags lol (for anyone who's interested, i think anon is referring to this reblog)

okay, so, i'm absolutely certain that mb 3 years after canon, Gil Young and Choi Yoon will move in with Hwa Pyung. well, Choi Yoon basically moved in about a year ago but they like to pretend he didn't.

anyway, after finding out that Hwa Pyung is alive, Gil Young and Choi Yoon bulldoze their way back into his life. they visit him every weekend and, when they can't be there physically, they video call/facetime and such. it's also the reason why Choi Yoon finally FINALLY gets a smartphone. well, Gil Young gets that phone for him and tells him to shove it, she's not taking it back, it's a gift. fck that vow of poverty or whatever, he can have the phone bcs he's not the one who bought it.

anyway, one day, in the middle of lunch or whatever, Gil Young was called back to Sangyong for an emergency case or sth so she had to leave asap. Choi Yoon is willing to go back with her but she said she'll come back to pick him up later in the evening. except she couldn't bcs it's a murder case or sth so Choi Yoon has to take a taxi back to Sangyong. except there's no taxi bcs Hwa Pyung lives in the middle of nowhere and it's late af so Choi Yoon decides to just stay the night.

they go on a 5am walk the next morning and Choi Yoon drops by the local church with an old Father. they talk and pray while Hwa Pyung snoops around the church. and then a couple of weeks later, Choi Yoon transfers to the local church in Hwa Pyung's area. he loads all his stuff into Gil Young's trunk one weekend and Gil Young is like ??? and Choi Yoon is just *shrug* and Hwa Pyung is just 'aight, might as well'

the local Father is more than thrilled to have Choi Yoon around and finally gets to retired. Hwa Pyung fishes and visits the church and goes into the confession booth just so he can talk to Choi Yoon.

Choi Yoon lives in the on-site housing (im sorry but idk what the place that priests live in near the churches are called, im not christian. im barely a buddhist lol) anyway, he lives there and Gil Young picks him up on her way to Hwa Pyung's house every weekend.

but, one weekend, after a particularly difficult case, Gil Young is wasted and can't drive back so she crashes at Hwa Pyung's and Choi Yoon's like 'well, there goes my ride' when he can totally walk back to the church. Gil Young stays the night every weekend after that.

and then she starts going there after work on Friday and leave every Monday morning at ungodly hours to get back to the station in time.

and then, one day, Gil Young just... shows up with a fckn ton of luggage with her and claims Hwa Pyung's room as her own ??? and Hwa Pyung is just *sigh*

she transfers to the local police station and eventually retires from active duty after an incident that left her very sick/injured. she becomes a private investigator and goes fish with Hwa Pyung and somehow gets roped into demon hunting with Hwa Pyung and Choi Yoon absolutely loses his shit bcs two supernatural-blind people hunting demons on their own ??? they cant exorcise them what are they thinking ??? cue Choi Yoon internal anxiety going at full force

anyway, further further into the future, Choi Yoon stops caring about his vow of celibacy and officially enters a relationship with Hwa Pyung (bcs im willing to jump hoops for Choi Yoon to throw his vow of celibacy out the windows but unwilling to make Choi Yoon stop being a priest bcs Choi Yoon being a priest means Choi Yoon will be able to save his loved ones in the future + he helped save Hwa Pyung's life (yea i think he managed to exorcise Park Il Do at that beach somehow)). i say officially bcs let's be real, they've been low-key dating since forever, they're just both dumbasses.

anyway, Gil Young be coming back from filing their taxes to see Hwa Pyung bending Choi Yoon over the kitchen counter and she's so pissed but fond of them she throws her shoes at them before leaving and go out to have a smoke in the front porch. and yes she hears them fckn but she's like *smokes* *taps feet* *checks watch* "urgh they're taking so long this time tsk" *rolls eyes* and yes, this time, this isn't the first time she hears/sees them have sexy time

they go on demon hunting adventures together and get thrown in jail every other week and Gil Young phones detective Koh who spends 30mn shouting into his phone but always shows up to bail them out. he also brings them tofu. and his wife's homecook meal bcs he knows they haven't eat shit since their arrest and god knows they need to eat bcs the three of them are more or less dirt poor.

but look, they be struggling to get by and always running head first into danger and complaining about the lack of air-conditioning in the summer and their hot water running out in the winter but u know what, they're happy.

they're happy and that's all that matter.

Hwa Pyung, Gil Young, and Choi Yoon are so incredibly happy and that's all that matter.

[toastcassete]

my theories for s2b part 1

(this is very sloppy its just sum i thought abt with my friend lmao)

hope u enjoy i guess :D

-elsewhere and elsewhen:

from the synopsis i think its gonna be sum like time travel shit (really unlikely tbh) or prob like a fair kinda thing like in that gravity falls episode and lilith and luz will try to find out more abt philip prob asking some old demons and witches, and like pretty much like mabel and dipper figuring out the founder of gravity falls thing.

how sure i am abt this theory 6/10

-any sport in a storm

so hunter at hexide huh, i think maybe some coven scouts will pretend to be his parents and the two spells rule thing he'll probably use the glyphs he saw luz use for the mist in latissa (hunting palismen) i think he isnt as terrified of wild magic as he was before the whole flapjack experiment, but i do believe he'll be a bit unsure of them working cuz hes a powerless witch and all that stuff.

how i believe the hunter + willow + the gang encounter will go:

willow: guys i met this cool guy i think he'd fit with us :D

amity and luz: *nervous laugh*

hunter: *didn't thought about amity and luz knowing what he looks like*

or alternatively

willow already knows what happened in eclipse lake and latissa and the frame from the first teaser happens

i dont see this happening but its still possible given the scene of willow and amity reconnecting (follies at the coven day parade)

also something that ive been thinking about this whole weekend is how will the other students like 'react' to the physical similarities after belos face revealed and all that, like they do kinda look alike but not as much(??) for someone to think they are biologically related

also something that i find a bit interesting is how will he act yk dana said (im not entirely sure) in the last drawathon that she doesn't believe hunter really knows how to act with kids his age.

also id love a blight twins + hunter interaction

and about the mission he has is maybe befriending luz as a sort of double agent? but it probably wont work out because Luz doesn't really trust him already, the only way i can see this happening is him pulling a sasha waybright™️ (befriending the enemy to only backstab them) again i dont believe this will happen cuz its already been done with sasha so it could probably be a repetitive trope but it isnt entirely impossible.

what i do see happening it's the first scenario (just flat out failing the mission) but he'll have a great time at hexiside and maybee~ become close friends with willow?? and the whole grudgby thing happens he does reveal himself as the golden guard which makes me believe he isnt probably going back my reasoning being hes already 'failed' his other missions so he doesnt really see a point in going back (maybe out of fear) or he does goes back but only to be like another scout or something like what happened to raine also something that i noticed is that his 'mechanical' staff was probably taken away bcs he failed the palismen mission and thats why he wasnt carrying it in 'eclipse lake'

also some badass willow moments maybeee? (please she needs more screen time i love her)

how sure i am abt this theory 8/10

-Reaching out

honestly i have no idea of what could happen in this episode maybe some lumity and alador not being that much of a shit father maybe at the end.

how sure i am abt this theory 5/10 (idoes it even count as a theory tho?)

-them's the breaks, kid

raeda backstory, maybe some lilith too, how i imagine it going down:

luz asks eda abt what happened with raine after follies at the coven day parade cuz shes like kinda down yk (eda) and then all day she has flashbacks of her days at hexside maybe we get to know who the mystery moon person is, i think that she'll go like en owl beast mode cuz all her emotions are enhanced cuz of her encounter with raine and yea

how sure i am abt this theory 6/10

-hollow mind

after the hunter at hexside episode we might see how belos reacted to him (hunter) revealing himself as the golden guard probably a not so positive reaction (think abt it like this: how would the people and demons of the boiling isles would react to the strongest scout of the emperors coven being a literal child, it would put the coven in an 'unprofessional' and 'irresponsable' it would be, some people might aswell be concerned abt hunter, i believe belos would handle it by saying that the kid that said he was the golden guard was nothing but a crazy attention seeking fan of sum like that, again putting him in a very bad social position) i dont think belos will just like 'fire' hunter just like that bcs 'the titan has great plans for him' and 'it'd be too much of a hassle to find a replacement' maybe hunter will somehow reach out to luz (maybe through willow or the blight twins, depending how any sport in a storm goes) and well just somehow get into belos memories like luz and amity did in 'understanding willow'

i am pretty sure this episode is gonna be the one he realizes he's nothing more than a simple pawn to the emperor and his turning point, also we might get to see the plans the titan has for him and maybeee grimwalker theory confirmed???

how sure i am abt this theory 8/10

[ahundredtimesover]

hope you take the time to read this because god you've inspired me. imagine fight for you alternate ending/ storyline (yes i am making a fanfiction of your fanfiction)

where the next day oc goes missing. and then no one knows anything so jungkook buts in cause he was ex bodyguard and leads them to yoongi hobi and the orphanage but they all say they know nothing. after some interrogation and investigation they find her car in a lake but they don't find a body, instead a suicide note that says she's going to overdose on sleeping pills and die a painless death in her sleep, then ask this friend to cremate her (insert name of random dude) and then send the ashes to the orphanage where they would be turned into a tree. she also mentions in the note that she'll be asking the guy to send the orphanage money, along with the ashes, to start their own farms/ orchards which is something she's always wanted to do (it's her projecting her need to be independent) (so basically shes sending them ALOT of cash to buy land etc. plus i kind of imagined the orphanage on the country side so finding land wouldn't be that difficult) at orphanage the lady who was like incharge? like the head who told jungkook about oc's past intimidating bodyguards confirms that she'd received a letter that was typed out along with some cash and her ashes. they'd also started the farm and orchards. the amount of cash she'd received corresponded with the amount of cash oc has withdrawn the day before she went missing. they never found the guy she'd mentioned, the guy who was responsible for cremating her but the rest of the story made sense. she was on her way to kill herself, had an accident, managed to break out, swim up, kill herself and yada yada. so the police declared her dead.

now here yoongi and hoseok and her driver and caretaker blame jungkook for being the last straw. and yoongi is mainly v v angry. and it's v angsty and he even beats jungkook up but takes him to the hospital. and when jungkook asks why yoongi didn't just let him die and he goes "because unlike you i'm not a murderer" and it's sooo angsty and jungkook it's so guilt ridden. he's alos missed her, realises he's in love and with that realisation comes disbelief.

he doesn't believe that she's dead. so he starts his hunt. he decodes her letter and starts finding these clues she'd left behind and boom, he gets it. and he makes his way to the orphanage and is like "you have oc" and they're j like "we don't have oc she's fuckinh dead" but he breaks in and goes to the orchards and there she is, in a casual red summer dress, picking out apples. and he's so confused he's all "why did you fake your death" "because i didn't want to be found and the best way to ensure that was to make sure they never looked" and jungkook is all "well then why did you leave all those clues" "because i wanted to see if you'd find me"

OKAY OKAY so this is totally different from my story and that’s amazing bc then you can write this one! Bc it’s such an OC thing to give the orphanage so much cash and it’s such a Yoongi thing to spit IM NOT A MURDERER and it’s such a jk thing to torture himself with the guilt and do everything in his power to find her and it’s such an orphanage staff thing to protect OC. AND PLSSS that scene of finding her in a red summer dress! The sun is shining and she’s happily picking fruits with the children and jk is floored. I can imagine the angst and the pain ajshshahshs 😩😩

Thank you for letting my mind imagine all this but my brain and my heart probably aren’t good enough for this genre he he but pls pls if u choose to write this storyline, do let me know!!!

[ddagent]

Prompt: J/B coworkers. Jaime has been leaving Brienne small gifts, thinking she'll know they're from him. Instead, she thinks they're from Oberyn (maybe bc he's been hitting on her) and Jaime has to figure out how to make her realize they're not (because he's an idiot that can't be upfront).

Jaime Lannister swan through the doors of Stark, Tully & Reed early that Monday morning after spending the last four weeks stuck in a dingy police interview room in Braavos. Rather than go to his office, catch up on his messages, Jaime immediately took himself to the office of his frequent co-counsel, Brienne Tarth. She was always in this time of the morning when few else were. The perfect time for a reunion, and for them to discuss what had nearly occurred before he’d left for the Free Cities. 

That kiss had occupied his every waking thought, and several of his nocturnal ones. 

True to form, Brienne was in her office looking over files and depositions. He rapped three times upon her door, and waited for her to look up. Brienne’s face flooded with joy, and she crossed the room to meet him. Jaime abandoned his jacket and briefcase and swept Brienne up in the hug he’d been picturing ever since his flight from Braavos had departed. 

“It’s good to see you, Stilts,” Jaime said, earning a soft jab to the ribs for the old nickname. He pulled back and took her in. Four weeks was far too long without catching a glimpse of those eyes. “How’s it been here?” 

“Peaceful. I wonder why?” Brienne smirked. “No, it’s been fine. The Martell case settled two days after you left, so I could have easily come with you.” 

Jaime shrugged as together they made their way to Brienne’s desk; he taking up his customary position on the corner. “You would have hated Braavos. Too hot; too unfriendly. Some little teenager glaring at you when you’re only trying to help.” 

Arya Stark’s gap year in the Free Cities had not been a success. With her daughter arrested after a young woman had been found dead in her hostel, Catelyn had begged Jaime (who’d had his own brushes with murder charges) to fly out and represent her. He and Brienne had gone over strategy for hours the night before his flight, and after one too many whiskies there had been a...moment. Pounding hearts, open mouths. One inch closer and they would have kissed. But then Podrick, their paralegal, had interrupted. 

Moment over, but unforgotten. Jaime had spent the last four weeks giving Brienne some space, but showing that he cared deeply for her. 

The sunflowers, one of four bouquets he’d sent to her office, were blooming quite well upon her desk. Jaime admired the yellow petals. Brienne smiled. “Beautiful, aren’t they? Would you believe they’re from Martell?” 

Jaime could very easily not believe it, as he’d spent thirty minutes calling a florist from a police station phone to arrange their delivery. “Why do you think they’re from Martell? Was there a card?” The first bouquet should have had a card. Thinking about you from across the Narrow Sea, Jaime. 

“No, no card. But they arrived the day after the case was settled. It’s not just flowers; there’s been pastries delivered, lunch every day from Hot Pie’s.” Yes, because you have a tendency not to eat whilst working and I wanted to take care of you best I could. “Even this children’s book about a blue knight going on a bear hunt, which I thought was rather sweet.” 

“Very sweet. Such a thoughtful gift.” Jaime had seen it in a secondhand bookshop in Braavos, and called his brother (the antiques dealer) to procure a copy that could be delivered to Brienne’s office. Was it thoughtful? Yes. Had Jaime imagined them reading it to their own little cub? No comment. “So, all these gifts are from Martell.” 

“I can’t imagine they’d be from anyone else. Suitors aren’t exactly beating down the door, and Martell was always flirting with me.” As unsubtle as a brick wall, that one. “We’re going for dinner tomorrow night.” 

Jaime’s throat seized; the words strained. “Tomorrow? Why not tonight?” 

Brienne frowned, and Jaime realised he needed to reel in his frustration. It wasn’t her fault she didn’t see his card. “You’ve just got back, Jaime. I–I thought we could spend tonight together? Unless you don’t want—”

“—no, I do. I've missed you terribly, Brienne.” 

“I’ve missed you, too.”

Jaime stared across the desk into those blue eyes, and accepted that he would have to let Brienne go to dinner with Martell. His soft approach to wooing his colleague, his dear friend, would continue long after Martell’s dinner crashed and burned. Brienne would realise the brash Dornishmen did not do subtle gestures, and perhaps she would look a little closer to home as to her admirer. They would transition from friends to lovers slowly, and easily, and it would all be worth this miscommunication when they were going to Braavos on their honeymoon.

I'm actually looking forward to next week's episode tbh like I know so many of us are dreading it and are having a lot of anxiety but I have a rly hard time believing that Leah will be introduced independent of the reapers, meaning that she'll likely rip off her mask and dramatically be like "daryl... the group that just killed some of your group... They're My Family"

meaning that Daryl will internally be like, in order

A) omg wait Leah is alive?!

B) wtf?!

C) wait why is she with the bad guys?!

D) wait she called them her family?!

E) she's voluntarily with them?!

F) why?!

G) hang on she's been hunting maggie?!

H) oh shit she's probably still pissed that I bounced

I) she's probably double pissed that I chose Carol- uh, um, I mean Rick/and now Maggie over her, even tho it was only temporarily, but she doesn't know that bc she bounced before I came back

J) oo and she's probably triple pissed that I didn't bother looking for her the way I looked for Rick #BromanceOverRomance (and only decided to stop looking for Rick when Carol asked me to, whoops i mean -)

K) hmm alright how am I gonna survive this one

Then, knowing twd, the end credits will roll, and then the next time we resume that storyline it'll be

L) alright well maybe I'll ask how the hell she's still alive where has she been what happened etc you know, all the awkward run-in-with-the-ex catching up they have to do

M) probably gonna get some snarky remark because hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and then he's gonna be like well you know what I gotta stay alive for this bc how else will I ride off into the sunset with Carol?

N) so he'll say "hey psst secret is that I hate Maggie too, i was trying to kill her too I super swear, let's join together and do it also I love you 5ever Im totally telling the truth I super duper swear for real pinky promise"

O) and internally he'll be like not only will this keep me alive so I can ride off into the subset with Carol but it will also help me to accept the fact that my value as a person does not rest on whether or not I can save people

P) bc as we know, the girl was cuckoo for cocoa puffs back when they met, and has probably only turned cuckoo-ier since she bounced, seeing as how she's on a murderous rampage with a bunch of dudes in creepy Halloween masks

Q) and then he'll realize that She Can't Be Saved And TBH Wasn't All That Great To Begin With, And It Probably Wasn't A Great Idea To Date Her In The First Place Anyway, Especially Since I Was Actually In Love With Someone Else The Whole Time whoops I mean -

R) and then she'll die or fuck off forever somehow and Carol will be like omg Daryl I'm so sorry that your creepy woodswoman long lost love is gone for good, it's probably my fault to some degree, just like your its-not-like-that long lost love is gone for good also because of me

S) and he'll be like um jsyk when I say "It's not like that" I mean "it's not like that" so no I don't love Connie it just sucks that she went AWOL for all the normal reasons, and also have you considered the fact that the thing I loved about leah was that she had Dog and gave me a sense of purpose while I was failing to find rick bc if I can't find him at least maybe I can save her from herself

T) and Carol will be like OK well and Daryl will be like no okay well just LISTEN to me the main reason I didn't love either of them is because I love YOU always have always will

U) then Carol will start crying and he'll gently wipe away her tears and be like BTW I know you love me but I get it if you can't be w me bc of all your trauma and whatnot

V) and Carol will be like yes I love you I've been repressing it for the last six or seven seasons bc i thought you didn't love me but you know what I'm working thru my trauma as best I can

W) and he'll be like oh great so.... this means I can kiss you right

X) and she'll be like um duh lay one on me

Y) they kiss

Z) they ride off into the sunset and star in a spinoff all about middle aged dating in the zombie apocalypse when it's just the two of you out on the road all alone for the rest of your lives the end
