The White Lotus Ep 5 and 6 Liveblog

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Episode 5 thoughts

Tanya is annoying but I hate to see these men con her and belittle her.

The way this couple is looking at Harper is oooo its hot as fuck. Aubrey is so fine too.

The opera scene is actually very sweet but I am still suspicious of this man and his whole group.

Oh they are broke.....damn tonya you are about to be "had".

That is a ginormous secret that Daphne just dropped. Whew lord they better hope that secret doesn't get out because they are in a dysfunctional but happy stable marriage.

"Uncle" or uncle? Cause he has been giving me rent boy since this group showed up together.

Albie might be an actual nice guy but he screams incel at moments, other moments he just seems like a sweet boy trying not to be like his dad and granddad.

I think Lucia is going to have a fiance or something because that guy was like.....hmmm. Oooo or that could be her brother and he is trying to be like "be more discreet".

Episode 6 thoughts

Can these four fuck already cause they're drawing out this jealous power play, and I don't want to come out of this show hating either Daphne or Harper. We as a society really do love a deranged woman.

I want Mia and Lucia to have the best life ever because they done so much for this hotel and only one is being paid.

Ethan is hot but man does he got some serious resentment bubbling against Cameron. It is kind of funny that he was so "IM NOT CHEATING" only to turn around and start thinking his wife is going to petty fuck his "friends". (He definitely may be right based on Cameron's past but I need him to take a second, collect himself, and then bring it up. Oh wait but then he'd have to take his wife's approach.

This 3 generation men trio being turned away from a matriarchy mirrored household is pretty funny. Its even funnier because they may be blood related.

Ethan is bugging! Daphne and Cameron are messy and full of lies but they are really functional. They also clearly do care about eachother whereas Harper and Ethan don't even seem to like eachother. Sexual attraction aside in ep 1 and 2 all he did was talk down on what she wanted to do on the trip. It was pushback from every side and he was the one person who could be like "oh honey that is a great choice" without it seeming ingenuine. I wonder why they got married.

Not these gays about to set Tonya up with a boy toy and snow ❄. I hate it because this group seem to have alterior motives. British boy is drowning himself in alcohol to prepare for whatever meanwhile killing Portia's mood.

Not the replacement ending up an actual creeper.

Boyfriend? Fiancee? Ughhhh oh Valentina is hurt. Hey at least the receptionist is a little aware that it hurts but still wanted to celebrate her birthday.

Ethan has mur der in his eyes. 😭

Granddad realized he might be a bad person after not getting what he's been searching for. The comfort of a woman. 😂 someone has mommy issues for sure.

That's a very pretty martini glass. The stem is so skinny and the bowl/cup area is so thin as well. Very nice glasswork or prop pulled.

I thought for a second they weren't actually going to have a party/a gallery. But they didn't lie about that at least.

A gun? To a blizzard? Oh Tanya please be careful.

Is Valentina not out out? Ohhh she's just never done that. Mia is actually being very sweet albeit forward about this.

Lucia and Albie actually really do like eachother, even if this ends up just a trip romance.

Valentina looks so afraid and Mia is like let me give you a birthday gift.

Jack is a rouse I think in general and especially now getting her to stay away from the villa, but he also being an obnoxious United fan so he should probably sober up.

Ay Valentina get you a lil something something on your birthday.

Not Ethan making up scenarios, this is going to end up so so bad. Especially with all these statues that provoke the mind and expose the truth of everyone's intentions.

I wonder how much of what is happening to or being told to Tonya is false and how much is true.

The reddit super sleuths were right, like how tf did they even catch this all those previous episodes. Albeit that is one of the weaker storyline this season, the Greg or Carl dude Tonya shacked up with in season 1.

Boy toy just out here in his birthday suit but I appreciate that he's taking the gentle approach with Tonya.

SERIOUS! Can someone identify the painting of the woman with the dagger?

Oop not Jack spilling fucking tea. I hope Portia a. Helps Tonya see the light and b. Stops complaining to this boy so it can't be used against her later.

Ep 7/Finale next week woot woot. My prediction is its Cameron, Ethan, and then a red herring. Trailer is looking mighty spicy for the finale. Also, I like that the Italian actors are getting their own moment to shine in certain episodes for their character development and we get to see their post show bts talk back. "All the characters are tragic and funny."

Whats going on with chris ratt?????

so right now he’s under fire for being a tr*mp supporter and a white supremacist which technically hasn’t been proven 👀 but i’m p sure he voted for him last election soooo

and rn a few mcu cast members have come forward in his defense which is really shitty considering how no one said anything when brie larson, elizabeth olsen, emily van camp, tessa thompson, and zendaya were being harassed online by misogynistic assholes. not only that- but these same actors that are defending pratt had nothing to say about the racism toward their black costars in this franchise... like this is the time they choose to call out their fans??

but i haven’t liked chris pratt for a while (check out my tag #crisp rat if you wanna see more lmao) for many reasons:

his take on diversity: “i don’t see personal stories that necessarily resonate with me, because they’re not my stories. i think there’s room for me to tell mine, and probably an audience that would be hungry for them. the voice of the average, blue-collar American isn’t necessarily represented in Hollywood.” (men’s journal, 2017)

his religious affiliation: he is a member of hillsong church, and though he denies the churches homophobia/claims not to agree with it, hillsong church has this statement on their website: “hillsong church welcomes ALL people but does not affirm all lifestyles. put clearly, we do not affirm a gay lifestyle and because of this we do not knowingly have actively gay people in positions of leadership, either paid or unpaid.” (brian houston, 2015)

his inappropriate behavior on parks and rec: basically he exposed himself (fully nude) to amy poehler and rashida jones without their knowledge or consent beforehand for “a better reaction” on camera. he almost got fired for that. he also made aubrey plaza uncomfortable a few times, once being when he asked her to redo a take of her hitting him and it wasn’t until later that she found out he asked her to do that bc he was “into it” not for a better shot or whatever

his political silence: the reason that so many speculate about his political beliefs is bc he doesn’t really speak on them and “makes it a rule not to”. but it’s also the fact that he’s kind of... proud of not getting into politics... like we get it you’re privileged

anyway he’s not that funny and i don’t like him bc the vibes he gives off are very... greasy straight high school theater boy that sends dick pics to every single girl in the cast (is this based off of a personal experience mayhaps) anddd yeah- a lot of people (including his celeb best friends) are saying that people are “canceling” him for no reason, but personally i think there are several valid reasons to dislike chris pratt and their little instagram posts and tweets aren’t going to change my mind

LGBTQ+ Movies I Watched Recently (Part 2)

Happiest Season (2020) dir. Clea DuVall

Short Summary: Abby plans on proposing to Harper when they visit Harper’s family for the holidays. Her plans get derailed when she learns that Harper hasn’t come out to her family yet.

Why you should watch it: Not gonna lie, Mackenzie Davis drew me to this movie; I’ve been in love with her ever since San Junipero came out. Add Kristen Stewart, Aubrey Plaza and Dan Levy to the mix and I’m sold. If you want a sapphic romance with a happy ending, this one’s for you. 

Été 85 (2020) dir.  François Ozon

Short Summary: Alexis recounts his six-week love affair with David during the summer of ‘85. 

Why you should watch it: If you love 80s aesthetic and music, you definitely should watch this. The movie made me nostalgic of that decade and I wasn’t even alive back then! It’s a whirlwind summer romance reminiscent of Call Me by Your Name but with a more devastating twist.

Getting Go: The Go Doc Project (2013) dir. Cory James Krueckeberg

Short Summary: An obsessed college boy pursues his internet crush through the pretext of making a documentary about him.

Why you should watch it: The script and the acting are the one-two punch of this film. The writing is incredibly genuine, and both of the actors’ performances made the lines feel even more natural. I’m not the biggest fan of mockumentary-style films, but this one felt like it was a recording of my own life. Hyper-obsessive college grad with a Tumblr blog? Might as well have called out half the population of this damn site.

Pihalla (2017) dir. Nils-Erik Ekblom

Short Summary: Miku and Elias find themselves, and each other, during a summer in the Finnish countryside.

Why you should watch it: I’m a sucker for gays in the countryside™ and although this one is not quite up there with God’s Own Country and Call Me by Your Name, it still makes for a good watch. Miku as a character and his relationship with his parents was chaotic and fun. His relationship with Elias felt really natural and dreamy. 

You, Me and Him (2017) dir. Daisy Aitkens

Short Summary: Olivia, a mature responsible lawyer, wants to have a baby, but her girlfriend Alex isn’t ready for the responsibility. Things get even more complicated when their flirty neighbour, John, joins the picture. 

Why you should watch it: It is one of the most feel-good lesbian romcoms I have seen in a while. But I warn you, there are some dark parts that can really sneak up on you. Yeah, it’s hilarious, but damn it made me ugly cry, too. Oh, and if you want to see David Tennant as an alpha male douchebag, here’s your chance. (CW: **spoiler alert** p̶r̶e̶g̶n̶a̶n̶c̶y̶ ̶l̶o̶s̶s̶ )

Giant Little Ones (2018) dir. Keith Behrman 

Short Summary: Franky and Ballas have been best friends since childhood, both on the swimming team, both incredibly popular. But after an incident during Franky’s birthday, they quickly fall apart and Franky falls from grace.

Why you should watch it: I think the film captures just how tumultuous coming-of-age stories are. Franky is going through his own journey of self-identity, and I’m happy that the movie didn’t rush in with labels. The conversation Franky has with his dad at the end also hits hard.  (CW: physical assault, allusions to sexual assault)

Our Love Story (2016) dir. HyunJu Lee

Short Summary: A fine arts student meets an attractive bartender, and the two women begin an intimate relationship.

Why you should watch it: It’s a very intimate love story that isn’t rushed or dragged out for too long. We definitely see Yoon-Jo and Ji-Soo’s relationship bloom from start to end, but it’s not mind-numbingly boring to watch. Raw and unembellished, I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a realistic portrayal of wlw romance.

Die Mitte der Welt (2016) dir. Jakob M. Erwa

Short Summary: The film follows Phil and his relationship with his family, his best friend, and a newcomer at his school, Nicholas.

Why you should watch it: This is technically a second watch for me, and I’m glad I rewatched it, because I was able to catch some glaring red flags that I missed the first time. I love this movie in spite of all the heartache it caused me. The story, especially the deal with Phil’s family, struck a chord in me. And the shots! Visually stunning as well! 

Les Amours Imaginaires (2010) dir. Xavier Dolan

Short Summary: Marie and Francis’ friendship is put to the test when a beautiful boy called Nicolas comes between them. 

Why you should watch it: Watch it for the visuals -- the colors, the costumes, the cast. Seriously, the actors included here may as well be kept in the Louvre: Xavier Dolan, Neils Schneider, Monia Chokri, hell, even a cameo from Louis Garrel! Dolan said it himself that this is a shallow film, but it’s worth the watch just to see Neils Schneider wearing heart-shaped glasses.

Closet Monster (2015)  dir. Stephen Dunn

Short Summary: A creative and driven teenager is desperate to escape his hometown and the haunting memories of his turbulent childhood.

Why you should watch it: Right off the bat, I am going to say that this film is dark. I tried watching it back in college but tapped out within the first ten minutes because something traumatic happens. Then I tried again about a week ago, finished it this time. It’s actually a very moving film. It’s violent and gory in some parts, but also ridiculous and wholesome in other parts. IT HAS A TALKING HAMSTER NAMED BUFFY! BUFFY WAS THE STAR OF THIS MOVIE FOR ME. (CW: gay bashing/sexual assault)

Straight Up (2020) dir. James Sweeney

Short Summary: Todd and Rory are intellectual soul mates. He might be gay but she might not care.

Why you should watch it: The dialogue in this film is undeniably sharp and witty. Loved the fast-paced back and forth between the two main characters as they discuss relationships, sex, gender, and more. James Sweeney and Katie Findlay’s chemistry just pulled you into the screen. It was funny, it was sweet, it was heartwrenching, it was great! (CW: allusions to sexual assault)

Latter Days (2003) dir. C. Jay Cox

Short Summary: A promiscuous gay party animal falls for a young Mormon missionary, leading to crisis, cliché, and catastrophe.

Why you should watch it: I saw this in santiagonex’s top 20 LGBTQ+ films with happy endings, and I honestly thought it was gonna be a feel-good watch. Instead, I got a rollercoaster melodrama filled with early 2000s gay culture, religious guilt, buttcheeks, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Needless to say, I got more than I bargained for. (CW: self-harm, conversion therapy)

The Old Guard (2020) dir. Gina Prince-Blythewood

Short Summary:  A covert team of immortal mercenaries are suddenly exposed and must now fight to keep their identity a secret just as an unexpected new member is discovered.

Why you should watch it: Okay, I was debating whether I should include this here, because it’s not necessarily an LGBTQ+ film as much as it is an action film with queer characters. I decided to include it, because JESUS! I have never seen such respectful and well-written representation of queer characters and relationships. Joe and Nicky are the most unproblematic couple in history. PERIOD. Pray for sequels, everyone. This is the kind of representation we deserve in mainstream media.

Hey yeah can I get a Bowen for the headcannon meme thing?

BOWEN! BOWEN! BOWEN!!!! Bread twins supremacy bread twins nation RISE

Sexuality headcanon: Bowen is gay. Bowen is gay and he is closeted and he’s never going to talk about it. Except the boy who lives down the street exists. 

Favorite ship(s): I am about to expose myself but HeroBowen?? I am 

l o o k i n g 

Brotp: Bowen and Daphne hands down They are twins and they know each other better than anyone on earth. There isn’t any secrets between them, and she’s the only person that knows he’s gay

Notp: lmaoo anyone but Hero I don’t ship him with anyone else

A random headcanon: Bowen and Hero were in boy scouts together when they were younger. Bowen was ostracized because he preferred to spend time iwth his sister, and he dressed in a fancy shirt and slacks every day, and he worked in his parents bakery. Not to mention the whole very devout thing. But Hero was kind to him. Also a second one! Aubrey and Basil met in a youth group run by Daphne and Bowen. 

General opinion: I love the bread twins soooooo much!!! They’re so cute and their character design is so elite especially in dream world, and I really like them. My favorite omori animatic has the bread twins and Hero and I like the idea of them being bros!

She looks up to see the figure in the fifth floor window, smile evident on her lips. Her phone is held to her ear too, and she sends a wave down to the shorter girl.

“Just checking you didn’t fake number me,” she says, and Beca swears she sees her shrug her shoulder.

—-

Oswald’sattempt at going unnoticed was wholly unsuccessful the moment heentered the club. All he had wanted was to be out in the city, awayfrom his troubles for a little while. Sometimes, he missed beingcompletely ignored. Things were easier then; he could manipulate hisway into and out of situations with ease, he could move about thecity unknown, and there were far less people that wanted his head ona platter. These days he couldn’t even go to a club and get properlyblackout drunk without turning heads.

Shovinghis beanie down a little further down, Oswald ordered a drink at thebar, finding it hard to make himself heard over the crowd.

“Hey,aren’t you the Penguin?” The bartender grinned wide. “Holy crap!Everyone thought you was dead!”

“Please,I would really just like a drink without any further ceremony.”Oswald snapped.

“Alright,alright, what’ll it be?” The man laughed.

“Whiskey,neat, as much as you can legally serve at once.” Oswald grumbled.

Hescanned the room while the jovial man fetched his liquor. There weresome familiar faces, far too many for Oswald’s liking. None of thepeople he recognized were ones he was on particularly good termswith. This may have been a mistake; he was alone in one of thenastier parts of the city and poorly disguised. He knew for a factthat if anyone who had once worked for him spotted him, he’d be introuble.  The bartender slid him the full glass of whiskey, andOswald slid him a bill before moving from the bar. Ivy would neverlet him hear the end of it if he came back beaten up, or if he didn’tcome back at all. She was the irritating baby sister he had neverwanted. He had to do something; more people were recognizing him thelonger he was there and the room was beginning to feel smaller andsmaller.

That’swhen he saw him.

Theone and only Detective James Gordon, leaning on the back wallwatching the dancers.

Hislips twisted in a bitter smile and he maneuvered his way through thethrong of people, trying to close the distance between them asquickly as possible. Jim owed him quite a debt, and if Oswald wantedto enjoy his evening undisturbed, what better way was there than toutilize a that debt? Once he got to the taller man, he took a sip ofhis whiskey.

“Thisisn’t the sort of establishment I envisioned you frequenting, Jim.”Oswald leaned up on his heels to look at him better. Jim’s eyes wentwide as he looked at him.

“…Oswald?” He managed.

“Inthe flesh. Now, I need something from you, Jim, and I think you’llagree that you sort of owe me one still…” Oswald began.

“Whatare you doing here? You’re alive?” Jim seemed flabbergasted, andperhaps a little drunk.

“Jim.First, I need to know – are you here by yourself?” Oswald asked.

“Yeah,I was supposed to meet someone but they canceled…” Jim frowned abit, watching the smaller man. There was a deer in the headlightsquality to his gaze that Oswald had never seen in him before.

“Good.I need you topretend we came here together. I’ll explain later. Just act likeyou’re into it, please.” Oswald brought his free hand up to takethe man’s hand. “I need you to accompany me to the bathroom so Ican look a bit more… Disguised than I am. I’m woefully easy to pickout of a crowd like this.”

“S…Sure?” Jim still seemed dumbfounded.

Itwas understandable; Oswald had basically become a ghost those lastfew months.  His empire had been dismantled and redistributed amonghis betrayers, his office returned to that corrupt lout Aubrey… Hewas once again starting from scratch.  Falling from grace had becomeso commonplace for him that he had a hard time even being upset aboutit anymore.  For now, all he wanted was to be alone in a crowd; butalone with Jim would work just as well.

Oswaldonce again snaked his way through the crowd, holding on to Jim, wholacked his grace and maneuverability. He heard him grunt apologies toa number of people as he barreled through them. Oswald shoved openthe door to the single, gender neutral bathroom which was suprisinglyempty, and closed the door behind them, locking it.  He set his drinkdown on the sink before getting to work.

“Holdthis.” Oswald mumbled, removing his jacket and scarf, tossing themto Jim, who still looked little more than a confused animal.

“Whatare you doing?” Jim muttered in return as Oswald began to unbuttonthe dress shirt he had been wearing beneath.

“Changingmy outfit, what does it look like?” Oswald said flippantly.

“It…just looks like you’re getting undressed?” Jim replied.

“That’spart of the changing process, Jim. Now please be quiet for a moment.”Oswald could admit he was taking advantage of Jim’s befuddlement forhis own enjoyment, but what choice did he have? All he wanted was tohave a good night, away from all his issues, away from his plans forrevenge. It was exhausting to be so angry and sad all the time. Toomuch betrayal and pain took a toll on a person, and he had been givenmore than his fair share.

Oncethe dress shirt was off, Oswald pulled the top around his waist,thankful for his small hips. It would make this little trick he hadlearned from Ivy much easier to pull off. He buttoned the lowerbuttons and tied the arms around his waist into a bow, and tucked thecollar in all around his waist. After, he shimmied out of his pants;his impromptu skirt would just look strange with pants beneath it. Itwas easy enough to avoid taking off his shoes to get the pants off,since the pants were far too large for him.  Ivy did her best infetching him clothing, but knew little of good tailoring. He preferednot to have his legs exposed, but the club was dark and he had Jimthere to lean on.

“Scarfplease.” Oswald asked as he emptied the contents of his pocketsout, dumping them into the sink and throwing the pants in the smalltrash can beside it.

Jim,suddenly mute, handed the scarf off. Oswald chuckled at the look onhis face. This was likely the last scenario the other man could haveimagined for his night. He wrapped the scarf, which was soft andlonger than necessary, around his torso, beneath his armpits. It wasa deep burgandy in color, and went well with the rest of his ‘changeof clothes’.

“Jacket.”Oswald asked, bringing a hand back.

Onceit was in his hands, Oswald pulled it back on and buttoned it up tothe bottom of where the scarf was wrapped, tucking the excess fabricin to expose his collarbones. The scarf wrapped around his chest gavethe illusion that he wore some pretty shirt beneath it, which was hisaim.  He looked to himself in the mirror. His broad shoulders wouldgive him away, but he didn’t care much. Pulling the beanie from hishead, he tossed it into the trash with the pants. He wouldn’t need itanymore and the idea of carrying it with him the whole night washorrid.

“Oswald…What the hell is going on? Where have you been? Why are you… Whydid you change into… that? Why am I in here with you?” Jimsuddenly found his voice again, moving towards the smaller man.

“I’mjust trying to have a little night out, James. I’m changing becausetoo many people are recognizing me and that’s dangerous for me rightnow. You’re in here with me because… I need it to look like I camehere with you. And if I’ve changed to look less like Oswald and moresome ugly girl, it’s more likely I’ll be ignored. It’ll also make iteasier on you, since it’ll look like we’re here on a date orsomething.” Oswald muttered as he began to sort through thecontents of his pockets.

“…Why would it need to look like you’re on a date with me?” Jim’seyes went wide.

“Sopeople will leave us alone? You got stood up, right? Why not spendthe night with me, since you clearly intended to spend it withsomeone?” Oswald offered as he lifted the mascara. He often woremakeup to accentuate his features, but he planned on being more boldwith it tonight.

“Andbefore you say you were just going to leave, you weren’t. I saw youagainst the wall. It looked like you’d been there for a while. Youwere looking for someone to spend time with. I know things havebeen… difficult, in Gotham, recently. I’d say we’re both overduefor a night where we don’t have to be responsible for anyone oranything except ourselves and our own enjoyment of life.” Oswaldtold him as he reapplied his mascara and exaggerated his eyeliner alittle further.

“Whynot grab someone else? Why me?” Jim asked softly.

“BecauseI know you. I know you won’t let anyone try to hurt me while I’m herewith you.  I know you don’t want anyone recognizing you here. And youknow me – that I would never tell anyone.” Oswald said, voicesoft. Jim’s eyes lowered, his brows furrowed lightly.

Itwas a gay club, after all.

Jimsaid nothing more as Oswald got ready to be seen again. When hismakeup was done, and his hair styled into something a little moreedgey and suitable for his new look, he smiled and turned to face theman.

“Howdo I look?” Oswald asked, placing a hand on his hip.

“Youlook… very confusing. In a good way. I think?” Jim looked him upand down as he spoke, taking in the sight. Oswald thought he lookedmessy, but intentionally so; like some trashy punk girl.

“I’llaccept that.” Oswald chuckled, taking possessions and stuffing theminto his pockets before grabbing his whiskey.

“Whatshould I call you?” Jim asked, fidgeting inexplicably in his spot.

“Callme… Gerda.” Oswald smiled, taking a drink.

“Gerda?”A smile tweaked the corner of Jim’s lips.

“It’sclose enough to Gertrude without being so old fashioned, I think. Andit’s cute. Like me.” Oswald smirked, shrugging a shoulder. “Now,are you ready to spend the night with me, or do we need to spend moretime locked in a bathroom together?”

“I…I think I’m ready.” Jim actually laughed.

Theconfusing nature of the situation seemed to have worn away for Jim,his worries soothed by Oswald’s decision to take on a differentpersona for the night. Whatever business he had with Oswald, whateveranswers he needed from him, he could get later.

Forthe rest of the night, however, the two would forget about the worldand its woes, getting drunk and dancing together in a seedy gay clubon the edge of the Narrows.

what’s ur novel about! the characters names + plot ideas you have ? i’m writing my own novel myself! so i wish you the best of luck with writing yours!

thank you! c: i wish you luck with your own novel as well! 

my novel, which is called “lost paradise” (i may change the title soon? just because it shares an almost identical name to another book, but we’ll see), is essentially about the ongoing conflict between humankind & the angels/seraphim (demons as well, but they’re surprisingly less of a threat). centuries ago, the kingdom of ortheal was once considered to be a “holy land” wherein temples were erected in the name of their deities. however, in time, the people forsook their beliefs upon the manifestation of war and famine; believing their fates were thereby cursed with everlasting misfortune. as such, humans began to grow greedy as well. they desired to topple the heavens; to claim their limitless power for themselves and construct a world entirely of their image. moreover, the angels (who work as a hivemind; deprived of emotions, operating soullessly on behalf of their nameless god) wished to exterminate the human race for defying them so, and for blighting the once, untarnished land with sin. on a specific day, they’ll drown the world and begin anew– an event that only prophets knew of, and yet their warnings were ultimately unheeded. 

overtime, ortheal evolved into an impregnable force and was feared by the neighboring countries. especially upon the coronation for its 74th ruler, emperor zachariah; a heartless man who ruled over the masses with an iron thumb. before the passing of his spouse, he bore a pair of heirs who would, on behalf of their mother’s wishes, carry the weight of fate itself. a prince, known as matthew… and his younger sister, edith (otherwise known as “eden”). they were reincarnated from the ancient prophets, and blessed with the abiliy to foretell the future; however, eden’s wasn’t as developed as her brother’s. in fact, she mistook them as mere dreams for the longest time. meanwhile, matthew’s senses were refined; he knew of the upcoming apocalypse, even if he tried to dismiss it as a nightmare. matthew was terrified at first, though… his mother’s dying words gave him the determination to challenge fate itself. he thought of himself as the only person who can, after all. not particularly chosen, but nevertheless entrusted with the task to save all of humanity from an inconquerable evil. then… emperor zachariah was assassinated, and matthew disappeared from the castle altogether. 

zachariah’s attendent and general of the holy union of knights, hawthorne, was thereafter entrusted with the kingdom’s responsibilities instead of the young eden. she was utterly alone in this world, after the disappearance of her brother… though not hopeless. eden knew the government was harboring dark secrets, and thus began to search relentlessly for an answer. as the princess, eden felt responsible over the welfares of her people; risk was hardly taken into consideration, for she was willing to die for that cause. the investigation ultimately leads eden to many discoveries, albeit horrifying; for example, the connections between the royal family and demonic practices, particularly with a cult known simply as the “order of one”. for she is no longer safe within the castle, eden takes up a disguise and leaves to find assistance elsewhere. after all, if the government is left alone as the kingdom rots beneath their unjust creed, there will only be despair. thankfully, there’s a rebel group known as “the liberation” whose main objective is to overthrow the government and create a better future for those less fortunate. little does she know, the world itself is on the verge of devastation… and they’ll need an actual hero to rise up to establish harmony between the selfish humans, and the impassive gods. 

and who is that hero, you ask? well it’s none other than our central protagonist, leo pendragon! surprisingly, he’s an average person that is handy with a bow; however, he isn’t a “child of fate” like eden or matthew. instead, leo simply fights on behalf of everything he holds dear… as well as the fact his main goal in life is to square-up with god himself (which actually happens, believe it or not). on top of that, he’s possesses a lot of worldly knowledge… which makes him an excellent guide for the other characters. not to mention, he has an intimiate connection with prince and princess–especially matthew, who he often snuck into the castle to see now and again (at the time, leo was a notorious thief that pillaged the capital for necessities; abandoned by his parents for unknown reasons). he’s also the only person who has acknowledged matthew’s prophecies as fact and has since delved into extensive research of the gods, as well as the kingdom’s history altogether to find a remedy amidst the chaos. upon matthew’s disappearance, however, leo embarked on a journey throughout the land to unearth clues regarding “paradise”, wherein the gods roam, and find the invisible passageway to it. after all, war is unecessary if he can make proper conversation with them, right? leo is rather optimistic, so he isn’t as perturbed by the seemingly ~inevitable~ apocalypse as his friend. 

as for the rest of the cast, i won’t go into too much detail regarding them since this ask is getting too long as it is. alexander frost, an ex-knight, joins leo’s side at one point during his quest. he himself had attempted to change the oppressive nature of the knights from within; however, their desire is unflappable and alexander must thereby surrender his title to fight for what’s right. he is arguably the deuteragonist of the novel, since he becomes leo’s closest friend & love interest; however, alexander likely shares that spot with eden, due to her significance as well. seiryu akamatsu, a member of the aforementioned rebel group and a bit of an odd ball. he hails from the country across the great desert, known as “senju”, and his background is rather enigmatic. at first, seiryu fights for his own freedom and nothing else; however, upon being dragged into leo’s misadventures, his heart grows somewhat. somewhat. seiryu is undoubtedly my favorite character to write since he’s just… such a gay icon. i adore him.

there’s two more characters within the main cast i’ll go over, which are jayne bellerose and aubrey walker specifically. jayne is the leader of the liberation and wielder of the divine weapon, “the spear of longinus”. she’s a warrior amongst warriors; unflinching in the face of danger, and is extremely courageous. jayne will always stand up for what she believes in, and doesn’t know the meaning of the phrase “give up”. whenever she’s not pressured with the responsibilities as the group’s leader, jayne is much gentler and possesses a maternal demeanor. seiryu jokingly refers to her as “mom” sometimes, despite her being one of the youngest of the cast surprisingly. she’s also the love interest of eden! their romance is very sweet & i’m even writing a few short stories for them at the moment! c: 

and finally, there’s aubrey. he’s seiryu’s quote on quote, “partner-in-crime”; a seasoned gunsman who’s also the main strategist at the liberation. he’s intelligent and shrewd, though his short-temper sometimes prompts him to make reckless deicisons. he’s distant in comparison to the rest of the cast, and is rather rude at first; however, it’s merely out of self-defense. aubrey is rather insecure about himself, and doesn’t feel confident enough to expose his true colors. nonetheless, he’s a reliable person and others flock to him… despite his outward annoyance. 

let me know if you have any other questions! c:
