#because some of these bitches hate each other

[redeyesblackjou]

Oh ho, story time, my bitches!

I met my then bf at a local convention that some folks and I were running MANY years ago; after that con, we started talking and met up again at a different event I was working at. We became bfs, we started a manga/anime club together, travelled up and down the country a few times, he helped me through a break-up, I helped him when his mum passed. We had regular all night gaming sessions playing Resident Evil 5, then 6 when it dropped.

He got a gf, nbd because I started dating too, we met some cool cosplayers at a con, and he got really close with them.

It was starting to get harder and harder to organise those gaming sessions, or just days to hang out. We weren't employed, so we had all the time in the world, my messages would go unread for days; eventually we planned to meet at a con after not seeing each other for months.

I'd had a shitty week. I had to walk away from a job I loved and just wanted to hang with my bf for a few hours; but when he eventually turned up, things felt...off. I tried talking to him, his gf, those cosplayers mentioned earlier since they were all hanging out together, but it still felt off.

I walked away, eventually headed back to the hotel with my other half (cried halfway back in the middle of the city because of all the emotional build-up of that month), and then asked my partner 'was it me, or did something feel off...like, unwelcoming?'

He agreed, and I decided to stop messaging that friend to see if he would message first.

It has been YEARS since I've heard from him.

I'm not great at messaging first, I hate small talk, but when you make an effort, and you get nothing in return - it's not worth the fight. Trust me on it.

every now and then the internet decides it should revamp the ole “stop texting first and see how many friends you lose” when in reality you could literally just communicate that u feel bad that ur the only one texting first

What are your headcanons of what Agatha and Rio do everytime they break up?

They yearn for each other.

The first time they broke up was well before Nicky died. Agatha lashed out after Rio got too soft with her. She's not used to that much softness. It terrified her. And this was Death being soft with her. It had to be some kind of trick, didn't it.

But when Rio left (because Agatha told her to leave) she was alone again. And she hated to be alone.

She lasted like two days before she killed another witch just to see Rio again, throwing herself into Death's arms. She didn't apologize for lashing out, not in words, but Rio understood.

Rio has become an expert in human behavior after watching them for so long, so Agatha's lashing out didn't exactly surprise her, even though it did hurt a little bit. So she welcomes Agatha back into her arms, not caring that nothing really got resolved. She is so in love with this human, she doesn't care if it makes her look pathetic.

Their breakups don't happen very often and they don't last long. Agatha learns how to let herself love and be loved by another. Rio keeps coming back. They find the balance.

Then Agatha falls pregnant and Rio has that "oh shit" moment because she knows this child isn't going to survive. Not if he's her child. That goes against the universe's rules. And the universe is a Bitch. Rio tells them so every day.

When she warns Agatha about this, though, Agatha doesn't want to listen. She wants this baby. She wants to prove that she can be a better mother than hers ever was (babe, aim higher please) and this baby is a mix of her and the love of her life. She keeps Nicky alive inside of her using her own magic, but she knows that as soon as he leaves her body, she won't be able to do that.

She leaves Rio several times during her pregnancy, but she always comes back. Rio holds her hair while she's sick, gives her whatever she needs and craves, comforts her when she cries. Agatha begs the entire pregnancy for Rio to let their child live. Rio is the one who tells Agatha that he's a boy. Agatha is elated, then crushed. She wants her son, wants to keep him and raise him with the woman she loves.

Agatha goes into labor alone, running away from the cabin she shared with Rio, desperate to keep this child alive. Rio is there, anyway, and it's not to support her through her labor.

Rio gives her time, desperate to make Agatha happy. But Agatha doesn't want to see her during their son's lifetime, she knows that. So she watches from a distance, watching her son grow up during the daytime, getting smarter and sweeter and sicker. She visits him at night, but she doesn't touch him, afraid that it will force her to take him away too soon. She tells him stories and tells him that she's his other mother, that she loves him and she'll take him on a trip soon, when he's old enough. She doesn't want him to be scared when she finally comes back to take him to the other side.

When she does, Nicky goes willingly. He knows what it means to go with her. He knows that it means he needs to leave Agatha. Rio never told him, but he knows. He'll miss her, but he knows that he'll see her again, someday. Rio cries when she takes his hand because she knows this is the end. Not just of her son's short life, but of her relationship with Agatha. The lasting part.

Agatha will hate her forever after this.

Nicky stays with her in the afterlife. She gets a chance to spend time with her son, more than she ever got before. She tells him about her work and all the people she's met. She tells him about the history of humans. He's so smart and inquisitive, he reminds her of Agatha. He soaks up every bit of knowledge she gives him.

He never got his powers while he was alive, but he gets some after death. They're very much like Rio's. He can make plants grow in his hands. He can heal wounds with his little fingers. He can make his face into a skull, which Rio finds adorable.

Agatha and Rio meet five years after Nicky's death, over a coven that Agatha has just killed. She didn't leave quickly enough, which may have been purposeful. She and Rio lock eyes over the dead bodies. Rio's face is full of longing; Agatha's is full of hatred, but there's hurt and longing there, too.

They embrace and it's like a hurricane as they kiss and tear at each other, unable to stay apart. They lay together on the ground afterward, their fingers brushing together in the grass, dead bodies just feet away.

"He misses you," Rio says, grasping Agatha's fingers. Agatha tears her hand away.

"Don't tell me about him," she hisses, getting up. She's dressed in a snap of her fingers. "Don't ever talk about him to me." Then she's gone, leaving Rio alone again, missing a part of herself.

That's how their reunions go for centuries after. They meet at least once a decade, reunite passionately, then Agatha leaves. Rio never leaves her. She can't.

Then Agatha gets the Darkhold and Rio doesn't see her for over half a century. She hides from Rio. When she kills witches, Rio can't go to them until Agatha has gone, bending the rules of the universe, disrupting the cosmic balance.

Agatha misses her, but she would never admit that. She throws herself at other women to ease her own pain. She enters a casual relationship with Jen Kale in the 20th century, but that ends after Jen catches feelings. Then she never sleeps with the same woman twice.

When she's trapped in Wanda's spell, she finds herself thinking of Rio, wondering what she would think of all this. Would she find it hilarious or tragic. Wanda is an untrained witch with way too much power. She can bring the dead back to life with a flick of her wrist. Agatha wants that power - needs that power -- so she can bring her son back. She doesn't even care if Rio hates her for it.

She hopes she does, because then at least they'll be even.

By popular (ish) request: a WIP intro

KING OF THE WORLD (Adult romantasy/comedy, m/m)

Meet MALEVOLOTH (Loth to his friends. If he had any - ), a tyrannical dragon-king who reigns over the realm of Krazuk with a fire-filled fist. Has burned millions. Will do it again. A proud human-hater, for reasons (no, he won’t talk about it), he lives by the doctrine that only the strongest can rule.

...Which means that he spent the entirety of his five kids' lives subjecting them to horrific abuse. He pitted them against each other constantly, almost killing them to ‘make them stronger’, encouraging them to fight for power and privilege and never displaying affection unless it’s part of a ploy.

…....And then he wonders why he gets brutally assassinated and deposed.

Because he spent 0 time on building any sort of political stability and +1000 time on WAR and TORTURE-MURDER and BEING HORRID, his kingdom crumbles the minute he can no longer terrorize everyone into order. The vultures are circling, as his five children splinter the army to form their own factions and fight each other for the crown, and the surrounding kingdoms throw their collective hats in the ring in a bid to piss on Loth’s legacy as much as possible.

In short: womp, womp, no bitches.

Loth tries to project a personality that is cold, calculating, and oozing menace, to the point that he glamours his body to look far more imposing than he actually is – but he’s the sort of loser who starts screaming internally whenever things don’t go his way. When he can no longer control the actions of everyone around him, he becomes a shaking wreck, constantly catastrophising, refusing to believe that anyone could ever be kind to him without ulterior motive.

Loth spent his whole life (except for. Some very bleak formative parts.) as the despotic ruler of this kingdom. He has completely lost touch with anything outside of the prison he built for himself within his own mind, where everyone is an enemy.

MALEVOLOTH SONGS: You’re Nobody Till Somebody Wants You Dead (Saint Motel); To Ashes and Blood (Arcane, Woodkid); King of Disappointment (Echoes)

Enter AZRAEL DE LIONHART, a young human man who’s been on the run from Loth his entire life (he was prophesied as a baby to be the one to eventually slay him. Loth, unable to be Normal about anything, has been hunting him ever since).

He’s thoughtful. He’s kind. He’s warm-hearted, and seems to actually care about the endless human collateral of the wars sparked by Loth’s heirs as they bicker over the crown. Despite the absolute hell Loth’s put him through, he doesn't succumb to trauma and darkness. Instead, he makes friends everywhere he goes, and genuinely does his utmost to help anyone who needs him.

Obviously, this is all a cunning act to gain the support of the people, so he can steal the throne for himself.

Or so Loth tries to convince himself, with increasing desperation. No one can be that kind. That forgiving. That… handsome. It’s not possible.

Right?

In fact, there’s only one person in the entire world that our noble hero seems to hate… and that’s Malevoloth himself.

Whoops.

AZRAEL SONGS: Dear Fellow Traveller (Sea Wolf); New Eyes (Echoes); Me and the Devil (Soap and Skin); Thus Always To Tyrants (The Oh Hellos)

Thankfully (?) following a near-successful assassin attempt from his kids, Loth is stuck in the body of Azrael's beloved tutor: the erudite imp RIVVEN of VARRUN, who has been teaching Azrael how to fight a diverse menagerie of beasts.

Unthankfully, Rivven is very, very dead, and it's 100% Loth's fault. And all of Loth’s once-legendary powers have been lost to him, much like his corpse, which has been locked in his old fortress to prevent resurrection attempts by his dedicated cult.

If Azrael finds out that Rivven… isn’t Rivven anymore, things will get very, very bad for Loth. If Loth can con Azrael into returning him to his cadaver, where Loth can reverse his accidental bodyswap (and, um, rebuild his exploded head), things will get exceedingly bad for Azrael.

All Loth has to do is get this trusting, naive idiot to guard him for the duration of one eensy-weensy cross-continental journey. Then it's all over for humanity's so-called hero.

…Only what’s that voice in the back of his head? The one that sounds like a cross between Jiminy Cricket and a certain tortured-to-death imp?

And why, with each passing day, does the prospect of killing Azrael become less appealing?

RIVVEN SONGS: Liar (The Arcadian Wild); The Devil Within (Digital Daggers); The Whole Being Dead Thing (Alex Brightman & Beetlejuice Cast)

TL;DR: ‘we’ve gotta kill this guy, Steven.’  ‘okay but. hear me out. what if I romanced him instead?’ ‘but you’re prophesied to kill him??’ ‘…your point is?’

(note: I have no idea how long this concept will itch at my brain, and I'm mostly focusing on my vampire imperialism story & my YA at the moment! but it's a fun background project for me to poke at when I get bored of the others~ intro for the Vampire project will be coming soon!)

Listen- what if Derek was faced with a captive who was VERY similar to him. A cocky bastard. Stubborn and very happy if they got to absolutely step all over him.

He HATES your guts.

Any and all hate he had for anyone else does not even come close to the hate he has for you. He despises you, he loathes you! Specifically because you remind him so much of himself. And that’s actually why some people hate characters. It’s constant competition to one up each other and see who’s truly in charge. And Derek will be damned if another brat somehow walks all over him! Plus he knows how pissed his dad would be he died like a little bitch in the middle of the desert, so he’s going extra hardcore with you. He ain’t just slicing your tongue, he’s cutting the damn thing out so you can shut up. Throw some sand in his eye (why does no one do that in his route anyways?) and he’s unleashing hell on you. In some ways he’s happy he’s got a victim to keep him on his toes, he just HATES how cocky you are.

[snakiest]

I don’t talk about ships often purely because I do not have many. And when I do it is smacking something against the wall and playing Barbies making two little dolls smooch. And also analysing every bit of those characters unless I don’t feel like it then it is just because I think they are both funny

[gonnadosomethingwmylife]

I always find it funny when people are more mad at a character than the people they supposedly hurt are? I get it happens when a fandom is younger or it’s been truely written incorrectly based on the characters, but a lot of the times it’s not and it’s funny to see idk. I am looking at the teen wolf fandom.

[passthroughtime]

yagami, WHY do you have to be such a bitch around kuwana. i'm going to strangle you.

(P.S.: he didn't tell kuwana that tesso said not to feel bad about it. obviously.)

[kiddokori]

i dont ship them per say i just think they understand each other in a way no one else can and while this could bring them together it’s much more likely for them to reject the horror of being known and cannibalize each other like oscars
