#because 99% of them marry outside the family

[rise-my-angel]

To the jonsa implying aunt/nephew and uncle/niece are on the same level as siblings in Westeros: no. In Westeros it is not taboo for an aunt or uncle to couple with a nephew or niece. I personally do not ship these types of pairings because of my real world sensibilities, but the kinda is proving your point because they probably brought that up to decry jonerys (which I don’t ship; tbh the only thing I really ship is Podrick and Sansa). But jonerys would be acceptable in Westeros. House stark has had this type of incest marriage. Jon and Sansa think of eachother as siblings and sibling incest is not okay in Westeros. They can like what they like but they’ve gotta drop the superiority complex

Sort of missing the point. Anyone saying "thats not acceptable incest but THIS is" does not realize they are adding to the issue. Aunt/nephew or neice/uncle was ONLY accepted through the Targaryeans, not normal houses. It isn't normal. Westeros doesnt see incest as normal.

The faster we ALL can understand that everytime you say "this is the accepted incest actually" you are only adding to this fire of the incest debate.

What the Targaryeans did is not universally accepted amongst Westeros and as soon as they were gone, their incestuous practices went right back to being demonized because the realm does not accept it.

The minority does not represent Westeros in incest and no debate of cousins, siblings, aunts, newphews will change that. It's not normal and the majority of characters in the series do not think its normal.

The shipping wars for Jon only ever boil down to who has the right incest ship, because they dont care about the in universe implications of the incest, just that their personal ship is morally superior.

Yall can ship incest, but none one will ever be morally superior for arguing any form of pro incest here. Not on my blog, thats for sure.

It's been bugging me for a while that we have so many canonically queer characters now but none of them ever DO anything! It's like after they get two characters in a queer relationship they just never give them any conflict after. We didn't ask for more representation because we wanted that character to no longer have interesting stories outside of a queer identity we wanted you to stop queer baiting us.

I know that word gets tossed around a lot, but there is very strong evidence for TimKon, StephCass, and GhostBat where they practically confirm it but they never say anything explicitly. Supersons were literally shown to live together, co-parent Lizzie, and were explicitly paralleling other canon couples last week.

But it's too much for Kon AND Tim to be queer, so they gave Tim a civilian boyfriend that he never has any conflict with and all of the build up and tension that comes with trying to clone your dead teammate 99 times and being a hair away from making out for like 8 years.

Robin AND Super boy couldn't be canonically queer so they aged Jon up and then gave him a civilian boyfriend he never has any conflict with all while parading them around in elseworlds because they knew fans were upset about the lost potential.

Even Harley and Ivy fall victim to this in a different way. I love that they're canonically queer! I just wish that at least Ivy got to keep some of her villainy. I don't think they should have to compromise being menaces to society with being queer.

And it's related but I hesitate to call it queer baiting... what's going on with Dick Grayson. He gets confirmed bi in a non canon video game but he has more pride covers than Tim. Like you can't dangle an extremely queer coded character in front of us and then just never make it canon. And I'm tired of one off implications too. We deserve better representation than a one liner played off for a joke (Batstantine this is about you I fear) but they won't because they know full well they won't do a damn thing with him after.

You wanna know what we should be striving for? Midnighter and Apollo. Messy their whole run time, uncompromisingly interesting whether they're together or not, happily married with a daughter, and yet continued to be unerringly bad ass. John Constantine, with all of his shameless flirting and raunchiness. Grace Choi and Anissa Pierce. The pining, the break ups, the make ups. Obsessed with them.

Joey Wilson!!! You want someone whose already canonically queer who Dick has a lot of tension with? He's right there! The son of Dick's arch Nemesis. Both of their willingness to go over people's heads to protect them. Joey's ability to completely take someone's free will (and his deliberate and spiteful choice not to) vs. Dick's constant fight for independence (and his willing surrender to the pull of his family). Dick's unwillingness to communicate his feelings or experiences with literally anyone ever paired with Joey's uncanny ability to read him like a book. Are you joking. The mess, the tension, the INTRIGUE!!

This got away from me but I want my queer characters to be interesting again pretty please.

It's so confusing and weird that Bridgerton introduced in world racism both with Lady D and Simon in season one of the show and in Queen Charlotte and at the same time they also want the audience to accept that somehow Marina Thompson or the dark skinned Indian Kate Sharma has more privilege and power than Penelope Featherington?

Kate Sharma was also poor, so much more than the Featheringtons. She depended on Lady D to host them. The Sharmas were looked down on by the ton because Mary Sheffield married an Indian. The Sharmas were disowned and ostracized by the Sheffields.

Kate was also an unmarried spinster. No one was asking Kate to dance. As much as Kate wanted love and romance and to dance at a ball wearing pretty dresses, she got none of that. She was also the woman on the sidelines watching as others danced and fell in love.

Racism and colorism is also very much a thing in eurocentric notions of beauty considering the setting and characters of Bridgerton is 99% white.

We got so little of Kate's backstory, of who her parents where - we didn't even get their names!! - of the trauma (explained for both Simon and Anthony using flashbacks) that had Kate overlooking her own happiness for that of her sister.

Despite bragging nonstop about the diversity of Bridgerton the showrunners thought that the white Featheringtons needed more screentime in season 2 rather than the South Asian family.

And Kate was planning on going back to India and work as a governess to pay for her livelihood. Because, you know, there's more honest ways of being a 'working woman' than running the equivalent of the regency 'Daily Mail' dragging other women down. The modiste Madame Delacroix, Kate planning to teach and Sienna in season one are all working to pay a living. Black, brown and lower class women looking to alleviate poverty.

And considering how much harder Kate already had it as an outsider in the ton, it wouldn't have been easy with Penelope using her gossip rag to describe the unmarried Indian woman as ' a Spinster of a beast'. What did Kate do to Penelope to warrant this? Nothing. Just a way for Penelope to make money at Kate's expense.

That's the thing I dislike the most about the way the character of Penelope is written on the show - her victims don't deserve her vitriol and are often in much worse circumstances than her. From Kate Sharma to the unnamed seamstress who apparently lost all her customers because Penelope wrote falsely about their work in the her tabloid as a bribe for Madam Delacroix.

And I think that's what I find problematic about the writing of the show and even the discourse surrounding it - when characters like Marina Thompson (the poor black cousin who would have ended up destitute on the streets because of Penelope) and Kate Sharma arguably have it far worse than Penelope Featherington as per the show's writing and yet we are supposed to have the most sympathy for Penelope because her crush Colin didn't love her back and she's a curvy white woman?

I guess that's the difference between how I perceive this world and these characters as a woc and the majority white female audience for this show and it's such a huge disconnect for me. I guess this is also partly because the show has this badly written and 'strangely toothless racism' as Ash Sarkar beautifully put it. As in the racism is treated in this world as a little problem solved by handing out a few titles to black people instead of being a white supremacist ideology which treated black and brown people as inferior, serfs and slaves.

From what little we got from season 2, Kate Sharma definitely did not have it easy navigating the ton as a poor outsider and that certainly contributed to her poor choices. She is also put through the wringer, treated like the other woman, is miserable for several episodes, had to apologize again and again and nearly die before Edwina forgives her!

In contrast Penelope's actions have hurt so many and yet she gets a pass by both the show and a fandom that wants Colin to grovel before her because of a single offhand remark and because he didn't return her affections.

Also making it clear here that I am not comparing Penelope to the male characters who always get the better writing, flaws and all. I am comparing Penelope to the female characters of colour - Kate Sharma and Marina Thompson.

I mean, Marina Thompson gets so much vitriolic and sexist hatred for not having told Colin Bridgerton the truth of her pregnancy. How dare Marina hurt this privileged white man Colin Bridgerton. When she was desperate to not end up destitute on the streets or get raped by old white men. And yet Penelope gets a pass for hurting women like Marina and Kate.

It continues a trend of white female characters never being held to the same standard as female characters of colour. Daphne sexually assaults Simon in season one and that was not even addressed on the show. Male rape is apparently no big deal because Daphne wanting children is what's important. It's Simon who has to apologize and within one episode resolve his trauma and accept being a father. This is despite both Daphne and Penelope having more screentime and more writing that builds their character unlike the stick thin writing given to Kate Sharma in season 2.

So yeah, I will be checking into season 3 to watch the ten minutes we get with Kate Sharma since we got so little of her in her own season and it's so singular to get dark skinned south Indian characters in a period drama romance like this. It's just the way the writing on the show, the production and even the fandom treats it's characters, especially characters of colour has been disappointing to say the least.

i'm a m*therfucking starboy | d. targaryen

Description: You meet the elusive Prince of Dragonstone, and he fucking hates your guts. [semi-enemies to lovers] Pairing: Daemon Targaryen/Supermodel!Reader Rating: 16+ [suggestive themes]

Models were fucking angels descended on earth - women who continued walking earth knowing that they looked amazing. Daemon swore that he'd never date models - his friends would make fun of him, and his reputation would be decimated. He swore that he wouldn't even look at a model twice - that was until, he saw you.

He knows who you are - he's seen your pictures everywhere. Heck, your face was plastered on the perfume that he bought for Aemma last year. He continues sipping his coffee - watching while you walked confidently inside the coffee shop. You weren't on the damn runway, but it seemed like you were. He has a keen eye on fabrics - but now that he was staring at you, he wanted that pink dress on his bedroom floor.

He stands up, walking towards you on the counter. "Which one do you like, the blueberry or the chocolate one?" he whispered - leaning slowly towards your body, but still giving you personal space. You turned to look at him - annoyed that someone was talking to you after your long ass flight. "I like chocolate - but I'd love it more if you stepped away." you tried to answer as politely as you could muster, but it was no use - he already felt your energy telling him to fuck off.

"Alright, alright." he repeated, taking a step backward and cursing himself. Daemon Targaryen reaffirmed his opinion. He'd never date models or even talk to them.

possitai: WHY DID HE DYE HIS HAIR? WE GAINED PICTURES, BUT LOST A BLONDIE 😭💔 - machintamarden: Probably because of the security issues the Targaryen family faced last 2020, everyone kept bothering people who had silver hair 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of course he saw you again - you were sipping lazily on the drink at your hand, scrolling mindlessly through social media like all the kids did nowadays. A scowl found its way on his face - reminded of the altercation between you. Daemon didn't want to be a petty asshole - but your denial bruised his pride. You and your friends quickly made their way towards his table. A smile paints his lips - it was time for revenge. "It's nice seeing you again," your friend smiled at Laenor.

"It's been too long, I swear to god." Laenor exaggerated, pressing a soft kiss on both of your cheeks. You smiled softly at the man - quickly settling your bag on their table, and squeezing yourselves beside them. "Last time we saw each other, you were still married to Princess Rhaenyra - how is she?" your friend asked, and all of their chatter began to drown away from Daemon's ears.

He turns to look at you - and you were staring at him. Eyes trailing up and down his body, presumably checking him out. "I'm (your name)," you smiled - joy not reaching your eyes. You offered your hand for his to shake, but he ignores you - and looks the other way. A small huff exits your mouth, before turning your attention to another thing.

It was a good thing that you lived in a democratic republic - no need for these snobby royals. "Forgive him darling, he's a little drunk from all the vodka we drank." Laenor apologized, glaring at his ex-uncle-in-law. Laenor wanted to be friends with people in Hollywood - and Daemon was shooing away his models. "It's alright," you smile uncomfortably, shifting around your seat.

It was the fifth round of drinks, and everyone began loosening up. To Daemon's surprise, you were a lightweight - already shifting around after your third glass of alcohol. You leaned your head on his shoulder, melting his thick wall of ice. "Lightweight," he scoffed, pushing your head down so that it would be resting on the chair. "It's a gift, actually - so I don't have to pay too much money to get drunk." you slurred - eyes softly flickering and closing.

"Sweetheart, we're drinking water and you're still getting drunk." he teased, taking a shot of vodka - which tasted like water at this point. A grunt escapes from your mouth, but nothing else - you were too tired and tipsy. At this point, you weren't sure if it was the vodka that made you sleepy - or the lack of actual sleep. "Not everyone is a drunkard," you managed to whisper, before getting knocked unconscious.

watercoloredeyes: Who let Prince Daemon drive?💀

Every time he sees you - it doesn't seem like a coincidence. His eyes trail towards your body - walking down the runway. He doesn't know why he was invited to a fashion show, he wasn't exactly a fashion icon - but he's not complaining, if it means seeing you. He was annoyed with you - but he couldn't deny your sex appeal.

You continue walking down the ramp - stopping in front, and flashing him a wink. His eyes widen - taken off guard by the sudden action. He could pretend to hate you, but hate is love persevering.

Your hands play with the bracelet on your wrist.

"It should be a sin to look as good as you," the string of words exit your mouth - turning him into a crimson hue. He was stoic and mean, but under the pressure of a pretty girl - he was as good as putty. "I've heard that a lot of times," he pretended to be unbothered. A soft smile finds its way on your lips - melting all his armor. "I like it when you play hard to get," you continued - staring deep into his purple irises. You wanted him to breed you - fuck you and love you.

"I'm not playing hard to get, darling. I just don't want to be taken." he snapped, crossing his arms - trying to avoid your siren stare.

"Why are you so mean to me?" you pouted.

"I don't have to be nice to you, baby." he scoffed.

Your hands trail to his chest - up until you were cupping his cheek. "It confuses me when you bully me - and call me baby at the same time." you whisper, bridging the gap between you. It's been a while since the both of you had a good fucking - too busy with work and royal duties. It's time for carnal desire to rule.

His hands reach for your waist - pulling you closer and providing you a small kiss. He was igniting a fire within you - one that couldn't be put out with a simple kiss.

LADY Y/N L/N SAYS THAT 'ROYAL LIFE' IS A PRIVILEGE

The 29 year old model was interviewed outside her family home in San Francisco. When she was asked about letting go of her modeling career, she affirmed that it was a privilege and a blessing for her. "It opened my eyes to the reality of the situation - that a lot of people are struggling in all the other parts of the world. As part of the royal family, I think it mobilized me to act on those and help as much as I could."

Her husband, HRH Prince Daemon, is third-in-line to the throne following Prince Laenor leaving the royal line of succession and Princess Laena's untimely death in '08. Prince Daemon overlooks the estate/island of Dragonstone, which is the capital of the country. Lady Y/N L/N is estimated to be worth $50 Million. Her title is set to change after HRH Prince Viserys ascends to the throne.

LIVEBLOG: Wakfu Season 4, Episode 4 [PART 2]

I wonder how long he's been standing there. Did he come an hour early? 20 minutes early? Just standing there, doing nothing...

Dios mio... la creatura!

Something very weird happened with the Eni queen/leader. In s2, her cape and hands were like this because she was sitting, in this season — it's just part of her design. Did nobody check this stuff? Am I going insane thinking this is an error? Did she look bad when her cape was down? What the fuck is happening?

Once again, something very silly is happening with Sufokia, if they have an empress and a king. My headcanon to fix it is "the king is a consort-king" or something.

(*sobs in Ankama, or, really, 89% of all media, not understanding that whoever marries the ruler of the nation is a [insert title]-consort, and does not have as much political power or the right of succession* *Hysterically convulses in "99% of all Queens were Queen-consorts, and the title itself, by default, usually means a consort. For this reason, female rulers (rare non-consort Queens who came to throne due to lack of male princes) typically named their husbands "Princes" and not "Kings", because the title king always implies a higher degree of power than a queen; therefore, it might be reasonable to assume, that in this fantasy setting, a Ruling Empress's husband might be called a king for this reason* *Foams at mouth because Ankama just forgot they mentioed Sufokia having a king and I'm trying to cope. badly*)

Also since I'm on this tangent already, YES, this means that Sadida rules of throne succession are:

1. extremely easy for outsiders to abuse (say what you will, but "the spouse inherits the throne" is a BADDD rule to combat conquest by foreign nations, there's a reason it was children or blood-relatives of the ruler, besides patriarchy/divine right of kings/whatever — the spouse is an outsider. All it takes is a princess, who is Wonderful at poisoning, being married off to a foreign nation and whoopsie-daisy, their country is now Her country, and therefore her Family's country),

2. it's unrealistic,

3. probably just bad writing for the sake of drama.

If you're curious why I know all this shit.......... I have a blorbo in a different fandom, and his entire thing is that he was married into a royal family and then tortured by his queen wife in a sort of gender-bent Henry VIII arrangement (except he was kept alive against his will and there was no divorce or church splits). God bless that blorbo for making me learn.

These Huppermages were repurposed from the movie concept art, btw.

I find it quite interesting, that Joris has the authority to be present here...

My personal theory/headcanon is that he is their mediator, and they just call him to their meetings so that, instead of yelling at each other and declaring wars, they can talk to him (and therefore, yell only at him and declare no wars).

Ugh, once again, I am not entirely fond of the English subs. First the translation error about the brotherhood of forgotten/tofu, and now they are making Joris say this spring chicken thing...

It doesn't fit his character and reads weird. Just leave it as "I'm not that young", like in the original. It's more fitting for Joris to speak in negative sentences ("I am not young") than in affirmative ones ("I am old") because he is not fond of stating direct facts about himself and his life... besides the fact that he's standing in front of multiple world leaders.

[kicks my legs cutely thinking about the fact that Joris, older than every king and queen in this place, and fully convinced of his excellence and wisdom and heroism, has been forced to bow down to them for his entire life despite hating at 90% of them for their political decision] I love his commitment to being the protagonist of an 18th century Russian novel about being doomed by the narrative.

Also, kinda wild. You'd think that during Ogrest's chaos they'd— actually I think everyone was too dead to hold meetings during that, nvm.

I wonder what they would do, if the maker of the eyes wouldn't reply. Just stand there? Or is this speech more of a formality — something he always says, in the lead-up to the meeting?

(I am once again reminding you, this blog is LITERALLY about overthinking crepinjurgen lore! Ankama gave no shit while writing this. I'm just doing this for fun.)

He's so unimpressed. Probably still trying to gauge what the fuck is going on.

THE LITTLE SMILE— he's trying to suppress it so hard in the first screenshot here. He's probably glad that Yugo seems to be in good spirits about what's happening, even if he himself is still quite worried.

His expression here is a beautiful mix of "PLEASE DON'T FUCK THIS UP" and "it is a canon event, I cannot intervene"

Literally, Joris's expressions at this moment should be analyzed frame by frame. You can feel the desperation. He now understands that there is a high possibility they are fucked. Because his bestie (who is always right) is an impulsive 20-something year old boy who knows nothing about politics or what people can do, and his mom is a god, and the leaders of the world aren't going to like whatever the fuck is going on, and he KNOWS what they might do, and what might happen, and oh god oh fuck oh god oh fuck—

"Yugo :) perhaps you shuoild :) um. :) ease them into it. :).... :("

He's trying to keep smiling, so hard. It's crazy.

Joris has lived through the huppermage genocide. He knows people don't need that much of a reason to begin killing. He understands precisely just how fragile the position that Yugo and his people are in. He understands his own place in the pecking order, too — he isn't going to act like Yugo's friend if these people are watching.

And neither Yugo, not any other Eliatrope is able to understand this. There are cruelties in this world that they are fundamentally unable to grasp without having truly been seeped in it before.

Like, what is he even to do here, to make Yugo understand how bad the situation is. All he can do is stand there looking haunted, while receiving unprecedented amounts of psychic damage.

If I was Joris at this point, I would simply pull out a flask of whiskey and a cigarette. The political situation has now gone completely unfixable. There is no going back, now that she has said these two lines.

Someone native to the World of Twelve and old enough to understand politics would know how bad this sounds. But to her, these are good things. Of course they are, since she knows what is good and what isn't, and everyone in her world has always accepted those things as good.

Basically: the conflict between WoT and Eliatropes is that a nation of people from a world of teletubbies-level conflict, — with no bigotry or nations or poverty or hunger or theft or inequality, or ulterior motives, — has been added to a "game of thrones" type society with no explanation. And now they are all forced to try and understand one another.

If I was Joris at this moment, I would simply shoot myself in the temple with a gun. If things were bad before, they are horrible now. She is talking to world leaders as her children. It might have been alright even with Eliatropes, but these people aren't Eliatropes.

DO I EVEN NEED TO COMMENT ON HOW BAD THIS IS? IN A WORLD WHERE COLONIALISM, RACISM, SUBJUGATION, AND SLAVERY ARE REAL? IS SHE ON CRACK?

I would give anythign to see Joris's expressions as she's saying these things. I think he should be trembling. Staring vacantly into space.

To someone from a world of violence, a world with "no violence" seems like a world where violence is hidden, and enacted to stop them from voicing their disagreement with the status quo.

Tot has described this as a sort of conflict between the modern world approaches to society — and named China and America as examples of what he was inspired by, while writing Eliatrope.

I will not get into detail on my feelings on it (China is often extremely criticized in the west for things every country in the world does due to racism)

But this might point us towards the fact that the world of Eliatropes wasn't as free of conflict as the show portrays it to be, and it was, in fact, Just A Society, with all that entails. In which case, things get morally morally gray... might explain why, in the earlier drafts of the season, she was meant to be the main antagonist — and why it was decided against.

(Is that maybe why Qilby is so embittered — his experiences were silenced, and he was made to suck it up, only confiding in Shinonome? She does constantly shut up Yugo and Qilby, not letting them speak up about their grudges against each other to keep the peace— [I am quickly silenced by tangent police])

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

https://www.tumblr.com/impossiblycolorfulpanda/761923322763214848/in-my-experience-the-zutara-community-was-very?source=share

What do you think about this??

Once again, Zutarians are kings and queens of missing (or deliberately mischaracterizing) the point(s).

The issue is not "Katara would be paranoid that everyone in the Fire Nation hates her and see them all as her enemies that she hates back." The issue is "Zutarians conveniently pretend that Zuko marrying a foreigner would make racism disappear AND act like it's Katara's job to make them not racist when Zuko was the one who signed up for that job."

The issue is not "Katara is afraid of a challenge", the issue is "Katara did not sign up for this challenge and it's weird to make it her problem"

The issue is not "Katara hates everything about the Fire Nation's culture", the issue is "Katara clearly doesn't feel any strong attachment to said culture, but instead is still very attached to her own and has already said the words THE FIRE NATION CAN'T SEPARATE OUR FAMILY AGAIN."

The issue is not "Why does Katara have to marry Zuko as soon as the war ends instead of waiting until all the racists magically become good people (which is already absurd of zutarians to expect)?" but rather "Why do zutarians push Katara marrying Zuko as the ONLY acceptable endgame when these characters never even had feelings for each other in the first place?"

Also Zuko absolutely NEEDS to spend at least the first few months or first year of his reign in his nation. He literally has to reform the entire system to actually end, and then remedy the effects of, the war. He is far more useful to the South Pole, and the entire world, if he's there.

And can we talk about this: "I see Aang marrying Azula"?????? QUE? These two are not each other's type AT ALL and a political marriage is out of question because, again, racism won't magically disappear when people see the royals marrying outside their race - if anything, it'll just make a ton of racists go "THE FOREIGNERS ARE TRYING TO DOMINATE US BY SLEEPING THEIR WAY TO THE TOP!"

Zutarians would rather jump off a cliff than admiting that fixing racism on a societal scale is not that easy - no wonder 99% of Fire Lady Katara content is so fucking racist.

Which brings me to the LAUGHABLE claim that Katara stans are more likely to ship Zutara. The overwhelming majority of zutara stans HATE Katara and are just interested in mutilating her character and beating her into submission until she becomes a completely different person as I've explained here:

Fuck that condescending bullshit. Zutara has NEVER been about caring about Katara as a character - it has always been about replacing her with an OC.

She's Safe

Am I evil for posting this on bad batch eve? maybe.

The force ghosts have cursed me for hopefully the last time.

I'm sorry. I wrote this in an hour so its really short i just had to get it out.

Spoilers?? Probably.

Dedicated to a friend who's tik tok inspired me

TW: Main Character death.

She's here. 

She's safe.

She’s hugging him.

He's slipping.

She tries to hold him up. 

He slips through her fingers.

Laying on the ground all he can sense is her next to him.

Hunter’s helmet hits the floor.

When had he taken that off?

Her eyes find his and she’s saying…something 

Why can’t he hear her?

Everything is muffled like he has his noise dampening on in his helmet, but his helmet is on the ground.

How did he get here?

Where is here?

Tantiss, he remembers. 

Omega.

They couldn't find her. 

Crosshair and Wrecker had fought. 

Who would guard the doors? 

Who would stay behind to fight the squadrons of troopers trying to follow them?

Neither letting the other say the words they all feared. 

Hunter had slipped out.

Hitting the keypad on the way.

He made sure his little brothers were safe. 

He was not going to lose another one.

He ignored the sounds of fists against durasteel.

And stood in front of what looked like hundreds of troopers. 

He had raised his hand to the side of his helmet and activated his com. 

“Get her. Get Out. Plan 99.”

With those words he had let a single tear roll down his face, hidden behind his helmet.

He had taken a deep breath letting go of everything outside that room. 

Everything but Omega.

He had to make sure they could get her out.

He had fought. 

And fought.

And fought. 

They kept coming.

He kept fighting.

Fighting for her.

Fighting for his brothers.

So they could live.

He wished that this didn't have to happen. 

That they didn't have to go through this again. 

But his family is strong. 

Resilient.

He wouldn't be here if they werent.

He takes another trooper down and not for the first time wishes he could have seen Omega one more time. 

He’s covered in injuries, bruises. Parts of his armor cracked.

Gouges in the plastoid where a blaster shot had gotten just too close. 

He kept fighting. 

He wasnt going down without the fight of his life. 

But one man against hundreds?

He was good, but not that good. 

He’s disarmed. 

His vibroblade was thrown across the room. His blasters in another corner.

He got hit. 

Arm.

Leg.

Side.

This was it.

He wasn’t going to see her grow up.

The troopers had all started closing in on him.

He had raised his fists ready to go down swinging. 

Then he felt a huge explosion.

He heard over a fallen trooper’s com that the Zillo beast had gotten out.

He laughed. Laughed! Because he knew that that was his family.

He was unstable but had remained standing. 

He heard the blast doors being wrenched open.

He heard his daughter call his name. 

And he turns and smiles.

“Omega”

She's here. 

She's safe.

He's dying.

His mind races. 

He won’t be there. He's going to miss everything.

Sure he will miss his brothers too but he grew up with them. 

He will never see Omega grow up.

Never see her go to school like a normal kid.

Never see her get married. 

He’d never see her become the strong young woman that he can already see the foundation of today. 

As the dark spots grow larger and his chest grows heavier he is only able to look in Omega’s direction and say so softly she barely hears it.

“I love you.”

He can barely see Wrecker and Crosshair behind her. 

His fight is over.

But Omega is safe.

She’s safe and that's all that matters.

LITTLE GENIUS

MASTERLIST

Jake and Y/n Peralta had been married for 7 years and their daughter had turned 5 a few days ago. They were a happy little family in a large apartment in Brooklyn, close to jobs.

Currently, Y/n was having to do night shifts at 99. Having stayed at home for a few days, taking care of Mackenzie, who had caught a virus at school. And now he was making up for the days he missed.

And of course, if Mom was at work, it was big Daddy Jake who took care of the house and little Mack.

Peralta loved spending time with his wife and daughter, but what he liked the most was when he was alone with Mackenzie, because they could eat all the candy before dinner and make tents with all the blankets in the house on the living room couch. Without Mom complaining about the mess.

And today was one of those days. Y/n had left for work at 7:30 pm, and Jake had arrived about 10 minutes before she left. Which made Mackenzie stay with her father on Friday night.

As usual, Jake and his daughter had fun away from Mom's supervision. They ate candy before dinner, had a fashion show with Y/N's heels, played cops and robbers which made Jake break two picture frames of him and Y/N. And finally, they watched Rapunzel in the blanket hut in the living room.

Anyone outside their circle of friends would say that Jake was a terrible father for letting his daughter do whatever she wanted out of her mother's sight. But that wasn't exactly the case. Mackenzie was a loving, polite and, above all, obedient girl, and since her parents were always working, Jake did this kind of thing so that Mack wouldn't feel left out all the time. Of course, y/n often thought it was an exaggeration on his part, but she knew that deep down he did it to make up for what was missing in his childhood.

It was almost time for Y/n to get home, but Mackenzie was so tired that Jake had taken her to the shower and then to her bed.

"Ready, my little ladybug?" Jake asks his 5-year-old daughter, after covering her with the blanket she had since she was a baby and, incredibly, still covered her completely.

"Yes, yes, daddy!!" She screams happily, even though she's sleepy.

Jake smiles widely.

If Jake were to tell them how much he loved his girls, they would explode with love. If that were physically possible.

"What story will my little one want to hear today?" Jake asks, as he looks at the bookshelf full of children's books.

She was just 5 years old, and loved reading books so much that her aunt Rosa called her Matilda.

And of course, the obsession with reading books was inherited from her mother and the influence of her aunt Amy, who gave Mackenzie books as gifts since she was a baby.

"I don't think any"

"None, Mack?" Jake asked, because every night they had to read at least one chapter of a book to her to sleep. No matter where or how they were. "You love it when Mom and I read to you. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I wanted to hear a different story today," the little girl explained, as she settled herself under the blanket with her stuffed turtle. "Daddy, could you tell me a story that involves mommy?" She smiled shyly.

Jake is filled with love and smiles.

"You love mommy, don't you?" He kisses her forehead and Mackenzie lets out a cute giggle. "Yeah, I love mommy too." He sighs and lies down next to his daughter. "What story do you want to hear? When mommy and I first met?"

Mackenzie quickly stands up and looks at her father.

"No!" She says, making Jake jump at the tone of her voice.

"No? Why?" He looks a little sad.

"It's just that you and mom have told me so many times that I end up dreaming about the story." She says in a childish way, which makes the comment cute and funny.

Peralta lets out a hearty laugh.

"Okay, little angel. I can tell you another story," he laughs. "That's just my favorite."

Mackenzie lies in her father's arms and Jake strokes her brown hair.

"Can I tell you how I proposed to your mother?"

Mack's eyes widen in curiosity and elation.

"Yes. Please!"

Jake smiles and tells the story.

"It was a cold winter afternoon. We were doing a mission with Aunt Rosa in Canada. Me, mom and Aunt Rosa. We had just arrived at the hotel, all happy to celebrate the arrest of the criminal we were after for about 7 months, so When we entered the hotel hall, we met her other uncles. There, because she was going to ask her mother to marry her and she would love for everyone to be present at that moment, mother, we went for a walk in the garden. He went to the garden before us, to decorate the room to propose to his mother at Christmas that year. As she talked and walked, I knelt down behind her to propose, and as soon as she saw that I didn't. was behind her and everything was decorated romantically, she realized that I was making the proposal. I told her important things, which I remember to this day. But that's a story for another day. She said yes, we got married and two years later we had you, my lucky little one." Jake explains the story briefly and Mackenzie was already breathing deeply, as she was falling asleep.

"It's a beautiful story," she says, her eyes already wide closed.

"Yes, my dear." Peralta smiles and kisses the top of her head. "Now sleep, because tomorrow we let's go out with mom to the park."

"Good night daddy. I love you so much..." Mackenzie says trying to open her arms to show her love, but sleep was winning.

Jake laughs.

"I love you just that much too, baby." Jake kisses her goodnight and before leaving the room, he gathers the dolls and crowns that were scattered on the floor.

Before turning off the light, Mackenzie calls her father.

"Daddy"

"Say, my dear"

"You said I arrived two years after your wedding with Mom," Mackenzie asks, already becoming curious and not understanding.

"That's it," Jake says quietly.

"But daddy, how are babies made?" That was the question Mack asked the most, and it always caught Jake or Y/n off guard.

Jake closes his eyes, trying to remember what he said the first time, so he doesn't confuse the girl's head anymore.

"Through the stork. Remember when Mommy and I told you?"

Mackenzie opens her eyes and frowns.

"It doesn't make sense," she says and Jake waits for her to finish. "If the stork is the one that brings babies to mommies, then what are daddies for?"

This really left Jake speechless.

Mackenzie was only 5 years old and was already a genius, she found a hole in the pathetic plot about babies, storks and mommies.

"Look honey, why don't you go to sleep and ask mommy tomorrow? I'm sure she'll know how to answer you better than I can." Jake lies, because he doesn't know what to do in that situation.

"Okay. Thanks anyway," Mack says, turning to the other side of the bed. "Good night, Dad."

Jake smiles at the brilliant upbringing he and y/n gave her. His job as a father was going better than anyone imagined.

Leaving his daughter's room, Jake goes downstairs to go to the living room to undo the blanket hut he had made with his daughter. Arriving downstairs, he hears the keys unlocking the door and sees his wife entering the apartment.

Jake looks at her, at the clock, and then at his wife again.

"I did so much with Mack today that I didn't even notice the time passing" He smiles, approaching Y/n, who had taken off her coats and left her bag on the nearest table.

"Yeah, I can see that from the super cabin on the couch," she smiles, and Jake kisses his wife.

"How was the shift?"

"It was great, managing to arrest two drug-carrying criminals and then just paperwork. You know" y/n smiles looking into her husband's eyes.

God, how she loved that man.

"What about you guys? What did you do?" She asks, as she pulls out of the hug to take off her shoes and Jake starts to clean up a little mess.

"Same as always. Sweets before dinner," he says and Y/n jokes, rolling her eyes. "Movies, cabin, and today we had a fashion show with your shoes."

Y/n turns to her husband perplexed and starts laughing. Imagining the scene.

"Serious?"

"Total," Jake smiles at his wife, folding the last blanket off the couch. "And guess who had to walk the runway and who had to judge the shoes? Exactly, I had to wear a size 36 heel and I wear a size 42. My toes are crying out for help even now," he grimaces, which is made better by the comment made.

"Oh my God, I wish I could have seen that." Y/n says, laughing so hard.

Jake smiles as he hears the melody of his wife's laughter.

"Mackenzie filmed it. It must be on my phone or on the camera we gave her as a gift. I bet she'll show it to the whole police station when she visits next time."

"Of course she will. She's Jake Peralta's daughter."

Y/n says, sitting next to her husband on the couch. Now free of princess blankets. "She's definitely a daddy's girl."

Jake looks at his wife and jumps on top of her, making her laugh.

"Clearly she is," he kisses y/n's cheek. "Do you know what she told me just now?"

Y/n gets up and fixes her hair, listening to the husband speak.

"I went to put her to bed, and I ended up having to tell her the story of how I proposed to you, because she didn't want to read one of the thousand books she has on the shelf in her room," he says, making y/n smile. "I told her our story, and at the end I even mentioned that she came two years after we got married. So far so good, but when I was about to leave her room, she asked me how babies came. And I said that they came from the stork, as we agreed. She had the ability to say to me, 'If it's the stork that brings babies to mommies, what's the point of daddies?'"

Y/n started laughing so hard, her stomach hurt at the end.

"She found a hole in our pathetic story about storks. I didn't like it." Jake pretends to be offended.

"Oh my God. What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything. I didn't react at the time." Jake gestured with his hands, making Y/n laugh more. "I told her to ask you tomorrow, because I wouldn't know how to answer exactly."

Y/n controls her laughter.

"Now this bomb is mine?" She says jokingly and Peralta, like a shameless guy, nods.

"Of course. You'll have more time to think about the answer." He says, and then moves closer to his wife.

"Okay, I'll fix it tomorrow, in case she asks me," Y/n says, putting her arms around her husband's shoulders. "Now, all my attention is on you," she says, running her thumb over Jake's cheek.

Peralta approaches his wife and lays her down on the sofa, giving her a long, passionate kiss.

"We could order one more for the stork today. What do you think?" Jake hovers over Y/n.

"What do YOU think?" Y/n asks the same question.

"You're the boss!" Jake says sexily.

Y/n gives Peralta a kiss. "Request approved then."

Jake smiles and kisses his wife again.

Author: Please, please, please!! Ask me for stories to write for Jake daddy, please. I love it.

so with a platonic yandere (or yanderes) how does it work, do you just never get the chance to have a romantic relationship, do they force/encourage you into one with someone 'approved' like a family friend or someone 'in the know' sort of thing, or do their feelings change or border on the romantic side as well?

Well, I find for me personally it often depends on the character themselves for like, what kind of relationship im looking for, or, yeah sometimes i just switch it up based on concept, sometimes i get a real specific idea that stays in my brain and I can go back and forth depending on, I guess, preference. It's kind of a recent-ish development for me to think of platonic yandere AT ALL since like 99% of the time my brain goes "well if they don't love you romantically or want to fuck you what is THE POINT"

And it kind of took me a while to realize that sometimes "the point" of platonic yandere can be that they technically "don't get anything back". If they scoop you up and force therapy on you, it's because they want to legitimately help you, not to say a romantic/sexual yandere wouldn't, but for a platonic one it's more I guess "selfless" because they aren't like, getting a spouse or a fuck buddy out of it. With a platonic yandere, they don't want you to hook up with that guy because, yeah they're jealous you're not spending time with THEM but its like, spending time watching movies or going to the park or playing video games, spending time with you as you, doing potentially anything, but also they have you up on this pedestal and the guy is just an insignificant little worm to them. He thinks he can date THEIR sister? Creep creep go to jail eat dirt go six feet under here's a shovel start digging

I can be so moody and contextual about the whole thing, like for example, I've been making a lotta posts about a purely platonic yandere Batfamily with Bruce as you know the patriarch and all that, basically becoming a father figure to you even if you're already an adult, where he is like emphatically "no, Reader is your sibling, S I B L I N G" and getting out the batbottle and spraying them like cats any time he may notice anyone in his house catching feelings for you, but i also thought about, (this is kind of an AFAB specific idea sorry) what if Damian specifically developed one of those weird "big sister when i grow up im gonna marry you" complexes and Bruce is NOT having it when suddenly Damian hits him with "but FATHER, if I'M Reader's husband when I come of age, then our offspring will be YOUR biological grandchildren" and Bruce finds himself sitting there suddenly vividly picturing you holding a fat little newborn with a big head of black hair and smiling up at him "dad come hold your grandson 🥰" and he's. He's gone, like, suddenly he can't see it any other way. OBVIOUSLY Damian is the perfect husband for you, Bruce is helping raise him? Who would make a better spouse for his adopted daughter than his ACTUAL son? Talk about keeping it in the family

In his eyes, his son would make a more than competent husband once he comes of age, especially considering not only is Damian his son but, extremely similar to Bruce himself; broody angsty genius with superhuman skills, intelligence, athleticism, etc. And if not Damian, isn't Dick lowkey his favorite child, and also, you know. Already an adult and not nearly as emotionally constipated 😅 Bruce can trust either one of them to take care of you, building off of a paranoia that any place outside his family and his home is fraught with danger and anyone who hasn't been explicitly vetted by him suddenly cannot be trusted in your presence

I keep finding myself drifting back to platonic yandere but only in like, almost extremely specific circumstances, like for real those age regression ideas i realized are coming from like DEEP places of trauma and rejection for me and feeling like I'm so permanantly damaged i literally need a do over and need to be all but remade from scratch, being helped when i was younger and at my lowest points in childhood, and I'll admit I've noticed most of these platonic yandere ideas usually revolves around aspects of family, fatherhood, childhood, etc. Like literally right off the top of my head, two characters who kind of got the platonic yan ball rolling were Stolas from Helluva Boss and Nolan Grayson from Invincible, both of them fathers. Of course I would absolutely let Nolan tear this ass up too though as you guys have seen, like i find the Viltrumite Reader concepts kind of keep fluctuating between "he wants to mentor you and then catches feelings" to "no he just wants to be your dad and Viltrum mentor and after your real family dies during some kind of monster attack he just straight up adopts you and moves you into his house and the government lets him bc, i mean, they need to keep an eye on you as a Viltrumite"

Of course I also like the idea of sort of a middle ground. You know, like, the yandere begins purely platonic without any sort of intentions but it develops into something deeper after they've already come to know you and you trust them, or even, they're actually totally 100% "a normal person" and something happens to you or them where they suddenly become yandere. Like imagine you know someone for like a couple years and then all of a sudden, they're acting differently. So I've also thought about, Bruce and Reader are work friends in the Justice League and his feelings begin as purely protective and platonic and he knows you for a decent chunk of time but when he starts getting to know you more personally, more details about you the person under the costume, maybe he eventually realizes he's getting extremely jealous watching you interact with other men and, maybe in the process of taking care of you his feelings change. You get wounded on the job and you don't have any family to help provide any care while you're still extremely weak and recovering and he's helping you and that's when he suddenly realizes "oh shit this line of work is so dangerous, he doesn't want you to die, he doesn't want anyone to die but like you most specifically, he doesnt want you doing this anymore" and maybe he brings you to the manor for recovery and you never wind up leaving

But typically yes, as you suggested, usually when I've picked a character to be a platonic yandere it's because I can see them being overly protective to the point they won't let you date at all, even if the specific reasons for WHY may change. Like hypothetically for some of the ideas I've had, Stolas doesn't want you to date or have sex period because he's kind of Goin Through Some Shit and this is kind of like his second go around of being a dad and him expressing some sort of trauma or guilt over Octavia and he sees you as His Extra Special Little Girl and you don't get so much as a kiss on the cheek with another person until like, he's had enough years with you to be satisfied with "your childhood" kwim. Or a yandere who declares themselves as your sibling not completely against you dating or all that but they just have EXTREMELY high standards. like lmao imagine, like, someone like Deku basically inserting himself in your life as your brother and you're like "ok fuck dude, who do you think WOULD be worthy of dating me" and he's just like "I guess someone like All Might!" Like bro that platonic obsessive little twink is NEVER letting you get laid, you suck off ONE dick and he's holing up in his room CRYING because "someone's defiled his baby sister and made her dirty" not in the sense that he like doesn't like you anymore or he's judging YOU but in his mind your "purity" has been tainted by someone else and the only solution is to like, kill/get rid of that person and "atone" by never letting it happen again, cause obviously by letting you suck that guy off Izuku FAILED YOU, and maybe at some point he snaps and you wake up from one of your mandatory sibling cuddle sessions and he's pressed way too closely to you as he declares he's the only one worthy of you and he's sorry he didn't realize HE'S the husband you needed

Really I'm just a creepy little freak and it can depend on how I'm needing or craving to feel accepted in that particular moment in time 😅

[theoldlesbianwithcats]

nanshe fest anon here, haha let me invent a callsign .... how about Rio :)

i totally relate to what you mean when you said you are not able to distinguish between the "lesbian" and bisexual experience shared in that interview. things like this hindered my ability to understand what my sexuality even was, since i cant relate to either of them. then i read "lesbian books" and dont understand how they can have sex with men without a mental breakdown. i had a mental breakdown about my sexuality when i was pressured to marry, tried DIY conversion therapy on myself but when i faced with the option of even touching a man sexually, death seemed better because how could i live like that? theres no way. of course this made my mental health worse but not to trauma dump - i am ok now, so dont worry.

the anon who talked about strap ons was also very insightful. the focus on strap-on contributed to me developing a severe sense of dysphoria around my genitalia with this depression that i would never be able to have a "real" sex life.

this is why it is so important for lesbian experiences to be heard, i think the queer spaces are making things worse for us, particularly when we are young and vulnerable. also i am from a non-english speaking country, where homosexuality is still criminal so i could only turn to these spaces for support. i think even in countries such as the US, its the same for a lot of lesbian girls in rural towns... they turn to these spaces for help online since its so scary to be a child in a violent homophobic family. maybe they get helped because its worse than nothing. but also it can screw with ur mind a lot. my dream lesbian event would be to hear from more lesbians of color who grew up outside west europe/us/canada... i had to leave my birth country to be able to have a future. but i feel so awkward to be the only lesbian of color in the room 99% of the time. its not that the white women are cruel, dont misunderstand me, they can be lovely and supportive. but it adds an extra level of alienation, because so many times in my country people would call homosexuality as a white persons invention. of course i know that lesbians exist elsewhere but it would be nice to see that in person at these events!

-rio

Hi again, Rio! :D

Yeah it's messed up that even in the "lesbian community" we think we're freaks so we don't even dare talking about our experience! I grew up in a small town and I remember discreetly reading sex ed books for teens at the bookshop for any info or positivity about lesbians, instead I would only find a paragraph telling me it's a phase. So tumblr was my lesbian safe space back in 2010, for example the "it gets better" campaign really helped me when I was bullied in high-school (unfortunately now that charity pretends they have no idea what a lesbian is...) Now the lesbian content is awful and lesbophobic everywhere, offline and online.

And I feel you about lesbian books, I finally got around to reading one I bought years ago because it was recommended to me and it was about two "lesbians" leaving their husbands for each other... We need book lists with actual lesbian rep!

All the strap-on stuff invading lesbian spaces is so weird yeah... A few minutes ago I clicked on a blog because she was talking about wanting to finger a woman while having acrylic nails, which made me go 🤨 and while she called herself a lesbian, it was obvious she wasn't, it was all talk about c*ckwarming and deepthr*ating ("but it's only for strap and girlc*ck, if you're a man do not interact!!!!" 🤪) I don't know if you had sex already but let me tell you that you are not lacking anything and no real lesbian will think you need a sex toy to be a complete partner and have real sex, she will only want you as you are. I mean, my ex-gf and I never even considered trying a strap-on and we definitely thought the sex we were having was real and amazing haha

About meeting lesbians of color, maybe you can find events on Instagram? I wondered why I never saw many women of color at lesbian events in Paris until I learned that black women preferred creating their own events and advertising them on Insta! Maybe you can also find an organization for LGBT refugees? Hopefully you can meet lesbians there :)

Nanami Kento with a laid back daughter (cause I thought it was a funny idea)

I know Nanami said he wouldn’t marry or start a family until after he retired from jujutsu, but let’s say in this au he just has one.

I feel like if Nanami had a family (spouse or child), he wouldn’t really bring it up since he prefers to keep his social/family life outside of work.

But he has a teenage daughter who happens to be a sorcerer student at Tokyo Tech. And she is the total opposite of her strict workaholic dad with her unemployed personality.

99% of people don’t even know their related or just don’t believe it.

His daughter also takes most of her looks from her mom, which only adds onto the disbelief of them being family.

She did train under him, so she’s pretty strong and shouldn’t be underestimated. Her uniform hides her muscles.

Imagine finding her sleeping on a couch and trying to prank her by jumping on her, only for it to feel like you landed on a concrete slab.

She has a “go with the flow” mindset towards everything, as opposed to how her dad sees a lot of things with a more cynical and hardened view.

Nanami does admire it though deep down since it means she’s more mentally prepared to face the pain and loss that comes with being a sorcerer.

Most of their interactions have Nanami scolding his daughter for always being late to classes, tidying up her school uniform, and talk about other home life related stuff. Meanwhile her stoned expression never changes and she just replies with a casual “mmhmm” repeatedly, much to his annoyance.

His daughter and Gojo would definitely get along due to their shared easy going personalities, much to Nanami’s dread.

Gojo has heard of her a few times whenever Nanami would briefly bring up his family life. So once he finally gets to meet Nanami’s mysterious daughter and sees how polar opposite she is to him, he couldn’t stop laughing about it and quickly grew a liking towards her.

Nanami split ways with his daughter’s mom (either divorced or broken up or idk) so he lived as a single dad with his little girl until she moved out to live in the school dorms.

He was definitely against having his daughter go to Jujutsu Tech to become a sorcerer. Not just out of fear over losing her, but also because he doesn’t want her to experience the same trauma he went through when he was a student. He would try to detour his daughter’s mind away from jujutsu and instead encourage her to pursue a normal career and education. He knows they’re all shit regardless, but at least the latter is a lot safer.

Unfortunately, for as much as his daughter is a passive person, she’s also very stubborn and independent. He feels like she gets that from both him and her mother.

They argue about it a lot but he eventually (and reluctantly) allows her to go. Probably only because he would at least be at the school a lot too, so he could keep an eye on her.

He’s not a helicopter parent. He knows how capable and tough his daughter is considering he raised her that way.

He cooks meals for his daughter whenever he can and also buys a lot of bakery bread (no surprise) and drops them off at her dorm room.

“パパ (papa), you really don’t have to leave so much food. The school already has a kitchen.”

“I know, I was a student here. And no, I’m not letting all this go to waste.”

He make sure she has the survival skills to adapt to her surroundings/challenges, such as having backup plans/skills for office jobs (in case she decides to leave jujutsu and pursue a normal career).

People around the school don’t often see her much since she’s either sleeping the day away in her room or is on a mission with her dad.

She’s a second year student.

When the first years find out about her, they. Are. PLUCKED.

“Ehhhhhhhh?!?!?!?! Nanami-sensei has a daughter?!?!” Yuji and Nobara shout, which annoys Megumi.

They probably first hear about her through Gojo, Nanami, or the second years (who are friends with her).

Yuji will be so hyped and wanna know everything about her. Nobara is so excited to meet another female sorcerer and wants to know what kind of fashion, desserts, and other girly things she likes (surely someone who’s related to Nanami-sensei must also share his sharp fashion style). Megumi is admittedly curious and would like to meet this person so he can see for himself what she’s like.

Cut to them bumping into a drowsy teenager with messy hair and ruffled pajamas stumbling into the kitchen.

Yuji is surprised

Nobara is disgusted

Megumi is indifferent

This is Nanami-sensei’s DAUGHTER? 😓

Meanwhile said daughter, whose brain is still waking up, stares at the new faces with a lazy smile, wondering who they are.

“Keiko, please look more presentable. The first year students came to meet you.”

*Nanami facepalms*

The longer the day they spend with her, they can’t help but feel a bit disappointed (especially Nobara) and still struggle to wrap their heads around that idea of the messy haired girl in the kitchen was anywhere near related to Nanami.

It isn’t until they see her in action that they really start to see the resemblance.

Since then they view her with more respect and look up to her, often calling her senpai.

To give an idea for how tough she is, she can keep up with Maki in a fight/training for hours. They trained a lot together.

She also has her dad’s temper, so be warned. It’s already scary seeing Nanami get deeply angry, so to see a chill girl like her go through that is just petrifying.

Don’t mess with the Kento family.

She can speak a little bit of Danish from what her dad taught her (Nanami has Danish ancestry on his mom’s side).

Maybe he flew her there once or twice when she was a toddler to meet her extended family. Idk

I think Keiko would be a good name for her.

That’s all I got for now!

Something I wrote this because Aqua back to the 80s is stuck in my head all flicking day and I’m tired. And if my random ass brain can imagine Steve in a scoops suit singing dark trauma to cheesy Euro-pop music you will also be subjected to it. All those colours. Barbie doll. Anyone. No. Whelp looks like it’s just me.

The rest of the gangs around somewhere. Didn’t know how to fit them into the bullet points though.

It’s 89, post Vecna, post government mountain of paperwork, Eddie’s pouting about not being able to continue with CC as his face is too recognisable and they don’t need anybody questioning the government’s hapdash attempt at a cover up. He’s spending his off time (which currently is in abundance) writing his trauma into songs (and if he so happens to write a certain dethroned king’s into little cheesy earwigs because it makes that certain person laugh, it means nothing)

It’s 90 and Eddie is having a mental block on writing when he hears something that gets the juices flowing. It’s summer, the party is at Steve’s and Eddie was going to get a drink from the kitchen where he’s halted just outside the kitchens doorway arch. Inside Steve is spinning a giggling Robin about as he sings cheesy made up ditties just to make her smile, which Eddie realises are his earwigs he made about Steve’s trauma. What surprises him more is god that boy can sing. Eddie disappears into Steve’s dad’s office and isn’t seen till dinner.

It’s 91 and Eddie presents steve with a finished lyric sheet and a cassette the CC boys and robin helped him make. A song about vecna and the witch hunt wrapped up in bubblegum pop. [think euro pop band Aqua -esk]. After a bit of confusion, he explains about hearing Steve sing so he wrote a song for Steve to sing with Robin as second. By Christmas they have a song painstakingly recorded, multiplied and sent out to record companies.

It’s 99 and [insert band name here] is popular. Their most popular songs are about a cookie cutter Ken doll who doesn’t fit in, a little birdy with no responding song, two siblings from a small American town with home grown conspiracies, a haunted mansion full of family ghosts, and a song written without their main writer about a curly haired boy, with a large smile and a bigger personality. Rumours of a curtain curly haired metalhead sneaking in backstage are rapidly growing.

As the bell tolls midnight bringing in the millennium a photo is captured and circulated of the metalhead with one of the lead singers of [band] and it certainly wasn’t Buckley who everyone was speculating the metalhead was visiting regularly.

It’s 92 and there is conspiracies galore about the missing [band] members who disappeared only months after the picture was leaked of Eddie Munson and Steve Buckley kissing on new years. What really happened was they all decided to settle down in Italy, run a small holiday vineyard and get some qualifications.

It’s 2016 and Steve Munson is mortified and happily fielding questions from his class as they’ve somehow managed to find old videos and images of his days in [band]. Talks about Robin getting married to an Englishwoman in 2013 when it became legal. About how his husband wrote most of their songs. And when asked about the subject matter he responds with “we had over-imaginations and a case of the whimsies”.

hi can you do a joshua svt bf reading? if u haven't ty((:

Joshua's romances are generally playful and lighthearted. He likes to drink, chill, smoke/vape, or do some other things while hanging out with his partner. Often his dates will involve a lot of food like eating dinner/lunch or going to cafes. He enjoys going on shopping dates too, more indoor dates. He's not into all that wilderness or camping outside in harsh weather.

Joshua often takes stimulants or some substance or alcohol before having s*x like he likes experiencing a euphoric feeling along with s*x. He likes to experience like some hallucinations and go into euphoria. He uses s*x to relieve his stress a lot of times. He's not too dominant nor is he too vanilla. He prefers oral s*x more sometimes like someone calling him and then his partner is giving him oral s*x.

Joshua likes to have couple items like matching clothes, accessories, and even home decor. He also likes it when his partner wears his clothing like that oversized look. In a way he likes to show off that he's dating and in love.

If he's serious about a partner, he'll introduce them to his family. He's quite close to his family, especially his mom. He consults her a lot and if she doesn't approve of his partner, then he'll break up with them. In some ways he's a mama's boy. This can be kind of stressful at times for the partner because they'll feel like Joshua cares more about his mom than about them. Plus his mother does expect the partner to be able to look after Joshua like cook, clean, organize, plan, etc for Joshua. His mother is traditional like that and it doesn't matter if his partner works. His partner still will have to take on the bulk of the household chores.

Joshua also doesn't mind his partner being by him a lot, as long as they won't disturb him when he's working. It's highly possible that he has taken his partner to his workplace and they've pretended to be staff. He also doesn't mind a lot of texting and phone calls.

I do see that sometimes he can have a wandering eye. When he's partying or out with friends and there's someone attractive, he can be really drawn to them and things might happen under the influence of alcohol or substances.

Finally Joshua cares a lot about his partner dressing well. He likes to coordinate outfits with his partner too. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a secret private couple social media account with this partner where they document their love story or if he uses those couple apps to set reminders of anniversaries and what not. He's more romantic but not very practical so he'll probably face issues when the relationship becomes more serious like heading to marriage. His partner will feel like he's not so dependable; for example he'd choose to buy roses/flowers for his partner instead of buying what his partner asked for at the grocery store like bread or rice. I can see him blowing off his savings/money for romantic moments and not really saving to build a family you know? Then he'll also ask his mom a lot for advice or to help when he and his partner fight. His mom will like 99% of the time side with Joshua. Basically whoever marries Joshua will also be marrying his mom, pretty much.

Hi! I’m not the same anon as before, but I was wondering if you’d be comfortable sharing what your experience with your Turned Mansion headspace is like. Is it as vivid as real life, and do you have to astral project or reality shift to get there? I’ve been recently interested in the more spiritual side of self-shipping, and I haven’t seen many people talk about it. Feel free to discard if this is too personal!

Thank you so much for the ask, nonny!! I don't mind talking about it at all, in fact it's a lot of fun for me!!

I've always been really "connected" with my F/Os, especially because of maladaptive daydreaming, sometimes I'd be thinking about something and a completely unexpected scenario with my F/Os would pop up in my mind, unprompted

When I first watched Howl's Moving Castle I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be cool if I could make a place like that?" And so Howl helped me make it, so it's almost like a little parallel universe that's stashed away in my mind!

As for what it's like, it's just as real as this universe for me. I can access it anytime, I just have to feel like it. Sometimes it's hard not to slip into it when I'm having a hard time over here, so most of the time I actually have to hold myself back instead of actively seeking it

The mansion itself is a single building in the middle of the void, but each person or character can imagine what the outside looks like, so it'll feel more welcoming and natural to them!

The whole thing is filled with magic essence and is ever changing, each character has complete control over their own room, being able to change every aspect of it and it's contents; for example: if a character needs to be underwater to survive, their room will be constantly flooded but essentially bound to the walls outside of their room!

I'm the host, and while I'm inside the mansion I have complete control over the building and my appearance as well. I usually just stick to my real life appearance (because I forget to change it 99% of the time)

Other than the systems I'll be listing below, the mansion operates like a magical luxury hotel

New rooms, furniture and essentials automatically form when a new F/O joins, that can also include their ability to communicate with the others, if they speak a different language. It's accessible to all and welcoming to all cultures, backgrounds and relationships!

When I'm outside of the building, in this universe, whatever happens to me is pretty much live streamed for whoever is willing to watch, as well as allowing them to interfere with my routine and to manifest themselves in the real world. Usually the most present in the real world are the ones I've been paying the most attention to.

Former F/Os can sometimes stop by the mansion to visit or stay for a couple of days/weeks. Some never really leave!

Here's the systems that help keep things in order:

1. The classification system:

As soon as someone joins the mansion they're allowed to see a complete list of all the current (and forming) members and what relationship they have with me.

Red names are strictly romantic F/Os, the shade of red expresses the depth of the relationship, the darker the more serious it is. It can all range out from a simple crush to being full on married.

Blue names are strictly familial F/Os, the shade of blue expresses the level of authority this character has, the darker it is the more authority that character has over me. It can all range out from being my siblings to being my parents.

Purple names are shipcest ties, all have the same authority and color, because of the romantic aspect!

Green names are platonic F/Os, they can all have different levels of closure and various bonds with me, but they do not have varying shades.

Gray names are forming F/Os, characters I'm still not sure I'm actually in love with or simply admiring. If a bond is actually developed they'll be added to their respective category.

Black names rivals or enemies. The darker the name the rockier the relationship is. However, these characters can still be romantic F/Os!

2. The housing system:

Each story of the mansion is divided by source material, the more invested I am in something, the closer to the first floor it is. So the rooms and stories can move and change by themselves.

Each character gets their own room, usually neighboring characters from the same source as them, as long as they're not the only one from said source or if they would not be a direct threat to their neighbors. So for example, Eda can be Hunter's neighbor, but not Belos'.

The whole mansion is filled with magic essence, so each character's room is unique to their tastes and needs. If one character visits another the room will adapt slightly so that they're both comfortable in their environment.

The safety system:

Some characters prefer to live in stories based on their age other than their sources, so that they don't feel isolated! This usually applies to younger F/Os, older F/Os or immortal F/Os. Considering that characters from the same source can interact with each other there are certain safety measures to make sure they won't hurt each other if they don't get along.

A character can state their personal boundaries and psychologically inform all others if they'd rather just do their own thing, if they're open for forming a relationship with other characters or if they just want to avoid certain characters altogether! If two or more characters form a relationship I can also be included if I wish to!

If a character is plotting to or fully disrespecting the other's boundaries they can be moved to an entirely new story in the mansion so they won't misbehave. If this behavior is directed towards me there's a huge chance they'll be completely removed from the mansion.

New Orleans - Klaus’s pov

Alina and I had made it to the edge of town just outside the bayou where we sat down in one of the abandoned alleyways. She sighed, staring straight at the wall across from us instead of at me. "I don't think I know how to love someone who isn't my family, dad. And it kind of scares me." 

"Everyone learns to love at their own pace honey. I did it with your mother." I told her resting my hands on my knees. 

Alina turned her head, raising a brow. "How did you do that?" 

"You need to understand that before I met your mother I was a very different creature…" I trailed off shifting around so we were now facing each other. "I was so focused on becoming the hybrid that I didn't care who I had to hurt who was in my way." 

"Oh." Alina made a sound lowering her voice. 

I kept telling my reasoning to her seeing as she was just patiently listening. "I didn't want to be alone so I tried to make an army of hybrids but that didn't work. So one night I went into the Grill and that’s when I saw your mother. She had just lost your uncle Jacob to her family not being honest with her. I simply asked for her name and she threw me against a wall." 

"And that's when you felt that you could love someone other than your siblings?" She pressed on. 

Shaking my head no I blinked through some tears thinking back to that time. "It was the night that my mother, your grandmother Esther, attempted to kill me, my siblings and your mother. Your mother did what she had to do and consume my mother's magic to stop the spell. Yet when she was doing that she nearly died. I…it was the moment I realized I was in love with her in such a short matter of time. Being in love with someone isn't easy. You basically have to make yourself vulnerable, Alina. If Jackson makes you happy and you feel like you would protect him then I'd say that's love." 

“I know he’s nice to me, he doesn’t see me as a bad person even though I have your last name. And he’s always there to listen to me when I’m missing you. So I think he cares about me too.” Alina smiled, tucking hair behind her ear until we saw someone appear in front of us. 

Lifting my head up I smiled lightly seeing my wife standing in front of us. “Rae, don’t be mad. She wanted to talk with me so I didn’t call you. She’s fine right here.” 

“That’s not why I’m here. Alina, get out of here I need to talk to your father alone.” She growled at her showing her fangs meaning she was clearly pissed for some reason. 

Alina waved and disappeared. “Bye dad.” 

“What’s got you so angry, Rae?” I asked my wife to get to my feet, stepping as close as I could to her even if she wasn’t physically there. 

She slumped her shoulders heavily. “Missy isn’t an innocent little girl anymore. She just threw me around and was screaming that I ruined her life by not telling her that we want Alina to marry Jackson. I am so angry at her and I don’t know what to do.” 

“Take her to live with Freya and she’ll keep her from doing magic so she can’t talk with me. Unfortunately we’ll have to punish her.” He explained moving his hands into his black jacket pockets. 

She nods in agreement with me. “Yeah that should work. I’ll send the girls to New Orleans for a year to learn what happens when they don’t listen to me - uh sorry us ... .I'll be there watching them because I will find a solution to this once and for all. I’m done hiding away.” She disappeared where I vamped back into the city knowing I needed to get back to France. 

Raelyn’s pov - One Year Later 

“There has to be something we can do besides making them stay apart for the rest of their immortal lives. I mean Freya, come on, this is ridiculous.” I huffed slamming my hands on the table glaring at my witch sister in law. 

She rolled her eyes at me. “Raelyn, I know this is hard to understand. But Vincent is trying to keep peace here. And he thinks that if even two of the Mikaelson’s are in the same room it won’t end well.” 

“Oh he does. Hmm well how about we get them all here and we shove the Hollow inside him. If he’s so concerned with the city and its safety. Cause I can’t live like this forever. I thought I could but I’d rather go through any other form of torture then this!” I raised my voice until my phone started ringing off showing it was the kids' school. I had let them go but Freya had them wear magic blocking bracelets as punishment for what Missy had done a year ago. “Hey Ric, what’s going on now?” 

He responded through the phone. “Hope gave Henry some of her blood and turned him into a hybrid. She apparently was gathering money for plane tickets to somewhere-“ 

“To someone, Ric. They want to see their father and he hasn’t been answering his phone recently.” I put a hand to my forehead feeling a headache coming on. 

The former history teacher explained. “They’re in my office right now but I think they should be expelled for a little while. You know just help them all stop whatever rebellious faze they are in at the moment.” 

“Don’t worry, I'm on my way to get them now.” Hanging up the phone I vamped towards the door heading to the car. Most of the drive was silent for me with my thoughts so I dialed Caroline. Rebekah had called her asking if she could check up on Klaus since she was in France already following some lead that was something for the gem curse. “Hey Care, how’s he doing now?” 

She put the phone on video call while she was walking down the street. “He claims that he is trying to wipe out all his enemies and the future enemies to protect Elijah. Even though he doesn’t remember who he is. But he won’t tell me why he won’t call his kids now.” 

“I don’t get it either. I mean he used to be good at it and then he just stopped for some reason. I mean sure Henrik saw him feed from someone. But that was years ago so it can’t be that.” Tapping my fingers on the steering wheel. 

She bites her lip thinking of something. “He said that he knew what it was like to be raised by a monster but I told him to stop acting like that. He did mention that Missy has been getting into trouble. Maybe it’s because of that?” 

“Oh it’s not just Missy anymore. I’m on my way back to the school because Hope thought it would be a good idea to turn someone into a hybrid without our permission.” I sighed pushing hair out of my face. 

Caroline dropped her gaze to the ground. “I know what it’s like to be a kid missing her father. I hate to see that he is doing the same thing to them. It’s not a good feeling. I can tell you that much.” 

“I know it’s not his intention. But hopefully you convinced him otherwise. Anyway I’ll talk to you later.” Hanging up the phone the driver was silent until I parked in the driveway of the school. Vamping inside Alaric’s office my daughters and Henrik turned their heads at me. He left once I raised my voice towards them. “Alaric, you can leave us now. I’ll handle them myself…What made you think that turning a hybrid without my permission was a good idea.” 

Alina slumped down in her chair. “We were bored and because of these bracelets we can’t do magic. So forgive us if we aren’t exactly the perfect students!” 

“We want to see dad.” Missy whined like she was a child again. 

Hope rolled her eyes at me. “Can we go home now. At least their aunt Freya lets us do some magic. Unlike here even though it’s a school for magic.” 

"Oh we are going home and aunt Freya is gonna give you a talk about using your other power without my permission -" Ah here she is now." My phone started ringing where I put it to my ear turning my back to them. "Freya, what is it?" 

She blurted in a panic. "Raelyn, they're missing!" 

"Who's missing, Frey?' I asked confused at what she was saying. 

She sighed heavily where I heard her heartbeat faster when she spoke. "The coffins, Rae. I tried to do a locator spell but it didn't work. Andrea, Jacob and Hayley are missing." 

"Freya I'll call you back…" Biting my nails I hung up with her calling my husband. "Pick up, pick up, pick up please." 

His immediately after the second ring. "Rae, what's wrong?" 

"They're gone, Nik. They're….Freya can't track them. The..coffins are missing and…I don’t know what to do." I blurted out feeling a tightness in my chest where I gripped his necklace in my freehand. 

Klaus calmed my nerves the second he said the words. "I'm on my way, love. I'm coming home now." He hung up the phone where I began running to the car and my four children ran after me but I wasn't aware that they were all securely smiling at their plan working out the way they thought.
