Potter Children Headcanons
JAMES
James is Ginny with black hair. Her eyes, her nose , the only out of the three to get her extreme freckles. I imagine him to be mid height but Albus is taller.
Ginny is his best friend. Absolute mammas boy yes James is the rebel child but so is Ginny. They have the same humor have the same interest they are very close. He made her a mum and they will always have that bond.
James is also very protective of Lily and Albus. Yes he had very caring and present parents but they are busy people so James stepped in a lot as he got older to be there for the other two. James and teddy are incredibly close James was Tedds first brother and they spend a lot of time together once James graduates, they even lived together at a point.
ALBUS
Everything about Albus looks like Harry. But, Albus has a warmness in his face that came from his mama. He has Harry’s wider shoulders but Albus got Ron’s height. Something James will forever be jelous of.
Albus was closer to Ginny as a toddler because he was so shy but moving through adolescence he noticed how similar he is to his father. They are both people watchers, don’t like big crowds, crave the quiet. He always goes to Harry when he has questions or concerns. Don’t get me wrong they fight a lot and when they do it’s bad but Harry is his favorite parent and deep down he would never admit it Albus is Harry’s favorite child.
Albus’s family mate is Rose she does all the talking for him and they get along very well. Teddy has always looked out for Albus as well always making sure he had eaten dinner and including him in things with the other cousins.
LILY
Everyone says lily looks like Ginny at first but, Ginny and Harry both agree she looks more like her father. She has her mums fair skin, her brown eyes, and a light dusting of freckles not like James and Ginny have. But if you look closer she has Harry’s eye shape. His check bones, his nose, his jaw. Her eyebrows her lips that’s all from her dad. When she’s standing right next to Harry that really shines through how much she looks like her father. She is also crazy petite like Ginny very small in stature.
She’s the baby so obviously she gets away with everything. If James and Albus want something then they make Lily go ask for it. She’s close with Ginny because they enjoy doing stuff together like getting nails done going shopping talking about boys all the usual mother daughter things. But just like Ginny and Molly holy hell those two could row if they fight the whole neighborhood will know. But that’s where Harry comes in if Lily runs to her room crying after a fight with her mom Harry will be the one to comfort her till she falls asleep.
Lily wasn’t that close to the boys growing up especially not James because she was so much younger but when they all got older they started to bond more. She always admired Aunt Angelina Lily could always tell her things she could never tell her mom.

"Seriously?!"
Paul Aron x Driver!Reader
Summary: Prema wanted their drivers to have a nice and relaxing weekend before the season starts, but they paired the roomates for the vacation...who's rooming with Paul?!
Warnings: A little bit of angst, fluff, and google translate Italian
The 2023 season is coming up and Prema has a completely new driver lineup for both Formula 2 and Formula 3.
René being René, decided that taking their drivers for a little get away before the season starts was a great idea, so they went to Amalfi Coast, a little chilly but still beautiful during the winter.
Angelina was the one encharged to make the rooming situation, considering who needs more bonding than others, but seeing that Dino decided to take his girlfriend to bond with his friends as well, the decision was made:
Room 1: Ollie and Fred
Room 2: Dino and Elvira
Room 3: Paul and Y/N
Angelina knows that Paul and Y/N have always had a strained relationship, having been rivals since karting, so that was her masterplan, not only that, but she had shipped those two since they first stepped in the Prema factory back when they started single-seaters.
Going all the way back to 2018, where the real rivalry started, Paul and Y/N were competing in the CIK-FIA championship, throughout the whole season, it was a constant battle between both kids, in the end, Paul ended up winning the championship.
When 2019 rolled around, both kids were surprised to see that Prema had signed a contract with the two of them, even though it was well known that they were rivals, not only on track, but off track too. This took their rivalry to the next level, fighting for the F4 championship, especially the rookie championship…Paul ended up winning, like always.
2020 rolled around, surprisingly, the one that had a seat in Formula Regional was Y/N, not Paul. He sadly didn’t find any seats available for Frec, so he went to formula renault.
This little battle continued. 2021 for FRECA, both were teammates again, though that year, Y/N ended up winning the championship and went to be teammates with Arthur and Ollie in F3 and Paul repeated FRECA alongside Dino. Now in the present, Dino, Paul and Y/N are back being in the same team.
The tension grew so much that Angelina wanted it to end, because they needed a good year for the Formula 3 team. So she put her plan in action. She passed this idea through René first and of course he was beaming with glee. He needed those two to get along.
When everyone got to the hotel, the roommates were announced. Everyone was trying to hold in their giggles when they saw Paul and Y/N’s faces.
“Angelina, this has to be a joke, right?” Y/N said, “I thought you said that , well besides Dino, the ones that shared an academy were going to share!”
“Yeah! Angelina, it should be me and Fred and Ollie with Y/N” Paul said while aggravatedly running his fingers through his hair.
“Guys, we need you to get along, please!” René pleaded, “I know teammates don’t have to be best friends, but at least be civil with each other” He finishes
Y/N and Paul sighed and followed everyone to the elevator. They were glaring at each other, Y/N was thinking of ways to be apart throughout the whole trip, she was planning on doing everything with Ollie, who was her best friend, and just go back to the room to sleep. Paul on the other hand was thinking of spending time with both Fred and Dino, mostly with Fred though, because he didn’t want to interrupt the time Dino and his girlfriend would have together.
Funny thing is that underneath all that hatred between Paul and Y/N, everyone knows that they actually have a thing for each other. Except the two idiots in question.
Y/N is a completely hopeless romantic, but never gives love a try because she is terrified that no one will get used to her hectic schedule and just overall, to her hectic life. She started to feel something for Paul when she saw all her friends starting to get into relationships, not because of the FOMO, but because she spent most of her time with him, and even though they would bicker most of the time, Y/N would imagine what it would be like dating Paul.
For Paul, it is a whole different story. He never lacked the attention of girls, he had plenty, but he felt a weird connection with Y/N ever since they met. As a dumb kid, he started to annoy Y/N to get her attention, but it backfired on him when, during karting years, he accidentally took Y/N out of the track, getting p1. After the race, he went up to Y/N to make a lighthearted joke, but for very obvious reasons, Y/N was absolutely mad and upset at Paul, and everything went downhill for their relationship.
Both, being the stubborn teens they are, refused to acknowledge their feeling for eachother, so they decided to cover it up with “hatred”. It was easier that way, but not when they have to spend so much time together. Being teammates sometimes sucked.
Once they arrived at their respective rooms, Paul and Y/N were stunned when they saw just one bed in the room.
“You’ve got to be kidding me” Both said at the same time.
“I could always sleep on the floor, Y/N” Paul sighed and looked at Y/N, “Take the bed” He said with a soft tone.
Paul was fed up with the fights between him and Y/N, so he will take the opportunity of fixing his relationship with her. No matter how much it costs, he will fix it.
“We can share” Y/N mumbled, “Choose your side of the bed, I will go out to explore with Ollie for a while” She finished, leaving her luggage close to the closet and left the room.
Paul felt almost defeated. Key word being almost. He was sometimes jealous about Y/N’s friendship with Ollie. He had nothing against that nice british kid, but seeing them hang out almost everyday was upsetting. He knew that those two were close due to them being in the same academy, and being teammates last year.
Y/N on the other hand, couldn’t stand the thought of Paul hating her, so that’s why she mostly hung out with Ollie, Arthur and Dino. But mainly Ollie, they bonded over being to young kids in Formula 3, trying to meet everyone’s expectations. For Y/N, Ollie has been the only person to actually know about her true feelings towards Paul, he always gave her advice about what she could do with Paul, but funny enough, she was terrified. Y/N was more scared to show her true feelings than driving a car at 100 mph.
The whole team wanted Y/N and Paul to notice that both are just overthinking everything, and just start kind of fresh, for them to be friends or even something more.
••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••
It was around 7pm, everyone was supposed to meet at the lobby at 8 so they could go and have dinner.
Paul was trying to ignore the presence of Y/N until he could really know what he wanted to do about their relationship, but it was hard to ignore it when all he could hear was the angelic (at least that’s what he thought) voice of Y/N. She was softly singing Vienna by Billy Joel. Paul knew that Y/N loves that song.
Paul, in small worlds, was delighted. He was delighted by every single little thing about his new teammate. He was in too deep, he knew, and was okay with it.
Y/N could feel Paul’s eyes staring at her and it was making her feel happy and confused. Was it that she was ugly? Is that why he is staring? She was trying not to overthink it more than she already does.
When Y/N finished her makeup, she left the bathroom and went to the bed to put on her shoes, and once again, she felt Paul’s gaze in her.
“Hey, are you okay? Do I have something in my face for you to be staring at?” Y/N finally asked with a slight humor in her voice.
“No, not at all. You just look beautiful” Paul said truthfully, looking into Y/N eyes.
“Oh, um, thanks” She said blushing and staring back into Paul’s beautiful eyes, “You don’t look too bad yourself” She finished, focusing on her heels to pretend that it wasn’t a big deal.
Paul smiled at Y/N, even though she couldn’t see it. He was beaming with joy at the thought that they were kind of fixing things, but he still had a long way to go with their funny dynamic.
“We should start heading down, everyone might be there already” Paul voiced to Y/N. She just nodded and grabbed her bag.
Both made their way to the elevator, Paul behind Y/N like a bodyguard. Once they got to the lobby, they didn’t see anyone on the team, so they just decided to go to the restaurant.
“The reservation is under René’s name, right?” Y/N asked and Paul nodded in agreement.
“Ciao, posso aiutarti?” A nice lady asked (Hello, may I help you)
“Ciao, si” Y/N said in a slight broken italian, “Abbiamo una prenotazione a nome René Rosin” She confidently said (Hi, yes. We have a reservation under the name René Rosin)
“Ok, seguimi per favore” The lady said. Both kids followed her and came to a halt when they saw that the table was for two, “Ecco il tuo tavolo, torna subito con i menu” And she left. (Okay, follow me please. Here is your table, be right back with the menus).
Both kids looked at each other in confusion. They sat down and Y/N texted Angelina.
“Angelina just told me that we have to stay here and talk everything out” Y/N huffed out, “I think everyone wants us to fix our relationship” She softly spoked.
Y/N hesitated before gazing up at Paul. He had a shy smile on and waited for a little before starting to talk.
“You know, I never hated you” Paul said with confidence but at the same time, in a hushed voice, “I’ve always liked you, as a person and as a driver. I always find ways to annoy you so I could get your attention” He said with truth gleaming on his eyes, “I never wanted you to hate me, but in my dumb kid head, I thought that it was the only way you could actually notice me” He stopped for a brief moment, “I really like you, as more than just a person and a driver. I’ve always wanted you by my side, when I had a good or a bad race, the only thing going on in my mind was you” He finished.
Y/N was shocked. She never thought that Paul could be slightly interested in her, never. She always saw the attention he got from other girls and was terrified to compete against them.
“Y/N? Are you okay?” Paul asked, “I shouldn’t have said any of that, goddammit, I scared you, didn’t I?” He frantically let out.
Y/N looked at him, and saw that his eyes were telling nothing but the truth. She was just speechless because of how happy she felt.
Paul stood up from the table and was about to leave, but Y/N stopped him immediately by his wrist.
“Paul, sit down” He looked puzzled at Y/N, “Please” She said softly. He obliged and eventually sat down with his head hanging low, “I really like you too. More than a person and a driver, my eyes have always been just for you” She quietly stated.
“Seriously?!” Paul asked, raising his head up to see Y/N smiling sweetly at him and nodding.
“Yup, I just followed your game because I literally thought you hated me” She giggled at Paul’s face.
“Well, now you know that I feel everything but hatred for you” Paul laughed and couldn’t resist to press a kiss to Y/N’s lips, “That was just the beginning sweetheart” He goofily smiled at the girl he had heart eyes since he was a pre teen.
“Yeah…I guess we have to thank everyone for setting this up” Y/N pecked Paul on his lips and thought that it was the beginning to a very long story.
••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••
Thank you all for the support on the last one shot, hope you enjoyed this one just as much <3

fred weasley
regular - main storyline
italics - fred's pov (thoughts/actions)
•💌•
fred and george weasley were your best friends. your father and mr. weasley worked in the same department at the ministry and shared the same fascination of muggles. they immediately became best of friends. therefore, you had been around their burrow almost every vacation, holiday, birthday, you name it. since then, you and the twins have been attached to the hip, even to the point where mrs. weasley would consider you their triplet. however, you did not mean to fall for one of them. you have fancied fred since third year and that crush did not go away anytime soon. it was now your guy's last year at hogwarts, fred still had no clue how in love you were with him and george could not help but feel pity for you.
"you have to tell him one day ... you know that right" he asks as he watches you longingly look at fred and angelina engrossed in a conversation across the courtyard. you sigh and respond, "theres no point. he clearly doesn't like me like that".
george couldn't help but hug you. the two of you being more affectionate out of the three of you. george and you were much more closer, the two of you shared secrets nobody else knew. these secrets created a bond of trust that pulled you guys together. george had told you he liked boys in the third year and since then the pair of you had been automatically closer. you were the only one george told, like george was the only one who knew you were in love with fred. you guys were like brother and sister, platonic soulmates.
"ok, enough about me! tell me more about lee" you exclaim with excitement. george has had a crush on lee jordan ever since 4th year and only now has been spending more time with him, alone.
george automatically blushes at your question. "hes that good in bed" you wonder out loud. thats when george screams and starts tickling you. you scream out in laughter and get up to run away from george. he runs after you, obviously he was a lot more quicker than you. you were short, he was tall, you were unathletic, he was very athletic, however he let you think you were faster than him for awhile. this led him to chasing you for about 3 minutes, eventually tackling you to the ground. he again started tickling you to the point where you had to beg him to stop because you were going to pee from all the laughter. he stopped and laid down right next you, you instantly cuddle into him as he begins to talk about lee.
fred watched as george chased you around the entire courtyard. he smiled at the interaction unfold in front of him. "they are a cute couple" angelina says, watching them with a smile.
fred looked at angelina weirdly. "they aren't dating" he states with furrowed brows. angelina smiles at fred and points back to you and george, "fred just look at them". fred looks at the two of you cuddling on the grass, george was talking about something so passionately and you smiled encouragingly with a loving look in your eye. fred wondered what the two of you were talking about. your guys future together? how many kids you guys wanted? what type of wedding you wanted? he didn't like the thought of you two dating. it gave an uneasy feeling in his stomach, like he wanted to vomit.
later in the day you and george walked to the dinning hall together, hand in hand. you and george spent the entire day together, doing facials, eating snacks, gossiping and watching titanic. the both of you cried and complained about how rose could have moved her fat ass over to make some room for jack. honestly, the both of you wanted jack to survive, not rose.
however, what the two of you didn't know was that the entire day fred was looking for you or george, but he couldn't find you guys anywhere. not until he ran into your room mate and asked where you were, she had told him that you were in your dorm bonding with george. of course you were.
fred didn't know what to think. why was he upset over the fact that you and george were together. he should have known, right? the way george would wrap his arm around your shoulder each time you guys walked to class, how each night george would kiss your forehead before heading off to bed, how he would immediately smile once you walked into the room and you doing the same, god it took an idiot to not realize you and george were dating.
"jack can paint me like one of his french girls" george says as you guys enter the dinning hall, heading straight for the gryffindor table. you couldn't help but laugh at his joke as you guys sat down. "you mean lee" you whisper into his ear as he starts putting food on his plate. your comment makes him blush like a cherry. this makes you laugh even harder.
fred notices this instantly. the way you both walked into the hall, hand in hand with warm smiles and laughter oozing out of them. you see fred finally realized why he was so upset with the thought of you two dating. fred didn't even get a chance to realize he liked you before george claimed you as his.
after finding out about you and george's little dorm date he decided to go to his dorm and just lay on his bed. he tried to sleep on it, however he couldn't. instead, he grabbed his quidditch gear and headed out to the field. he flew around the pitch for awhile until he saw a blonde haired girl sitting on the bleachers.
"luna what are you doing here" he asked a little startled on why the girl was there and how long she had been there for. "i smelt your anger in the air and wanted to see what was wrong" she answered. now, fred didn't mean to trauma dump on luna but he did. and she was a good listener, nodding her head at the right times and gave reassurance when he needed it. he went into detail of the betrayal he felt and that somehow bled into childhood stories of the three "triplets".
"you like her" luna says plainly. "your crazy" fred replies, shocked she would even suggest something like that. "am i?" she asked. "sorry but to me it seems like your not upset because your brother didnt tell you hes dating y/n, but because you arent the one dating y/n. dont you see it fred? you have liked her from the start. all these stories bleed into the same idea, that you are in love with y/n. and your too late to even realize it" luna states calmly.
fred knew luna was right. he was too late to realize it. y/n belonged to george and there will never be something between him and y/n.
"whats so funny" fred asks as he slides down the table from his previous position in the dinning hall, sitting with angelina. "nothing" george says quickly as your laugh seizes. "just an inside joke" you say smiling at fred. fred smiles at you and nods his head, going back to eating his food. he could never get mad at you, however a thought couldn't help but cross his mind. you will never be hers and she will never be yours.
george looks at you and smiles. he grabs your hand in his and smoothly rubs his thumb across the back of your hand. this was one of your guy's unspoken things, a simple thank you for not blowing the others cover.
however, this doesn't go unnoticed by fred. he watches his brother hold your hand and the quick smiles between the two of you. fred frowns realizing there was no point. he was too late. the weasley you loved was not him, it was his twin. it will always be his twin.
•💌•
hope you liked it!

Seraphim ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ | Angelina LeBlanc༊·˚ | The Boys OC ♡
art by @ shizuarts on instagram <3
Name: Angelina Rose LeBlanc Nicknames: Angel, Angie, Sera Hero / Supe Name: Seraphim Height: 5’4 Ethnicity: Caucasian / French-Cajun Age: 27 (s1), 28 (s2), 29 (s3), 30 (s4) Birthday: November 26, 1992 Zodiac: Sagittarius Gender: Cis female Sexuality: Bisexual (half-way closeted, supe world knows + public does not) Blood Type: AB Status: Alive Affiliation(s): Vought, The Seven Romantic Interest(s): Homelander / John MBTI: INTJ Enneagram: 4w5
Powers & Abilities
Owl Wings - A wide, expansive wingspan that starts from between her shoulder blades, reaches about 10 feet wide, and resembles a snowy owl’s wings.
Maneuverable Feathers - The ability to telekinetically control the movement and nature of each feather with ease, enabling her to harden them into a blade-like state or shoot them as projectiles, as well as control their speed and trajectory.
Feather Blades – Nicknamed ‘Angelic Severing’ by fans. Seraphim can pluck out two primary feathers from each of her wings, manipulate their nature, and use them as swords or daggers to cut through her target.
Superhuman Strength, Speed, and Agility – Much like many other supes, her strength, speed, and agility are enhanced to superhuman levels. However, Hers puts her near the level of Homelander with her regenerative capabilities.
more info under the cut <3
Random / Important Facts ;༊
Publicly, Seraphim is a pure, Christian girl who became a hero for helping people, which was at one point true, however as she grew up that naivety died out. Leaving the ‘real Angelina’ a bitter, violent supe that mirrors Homelander.
When her wings grew in from the compound V she was injected with as a baby, she was 8 years old and her mother claimed it was a gift from God before throwing her into the Capes of Christ and the Christian hero pageant circuit.
Her mother picked out her original costume, which she wore from age 12 to 18 until she grew out of it and Vought enforced a new one.
While she was in pageants as a kid, she was also one of Starlight’s bullying victims, like Firecracker, and often came runner-up behind Starlight.
She auditioned for the seven simultaneously as Starlight, but Starlight was accepted first.
She joins the seven when The Deep is first put on leave, Vought still claiming he’s a member but that they want to ensure there are always seven heroes in New York to make up the seven.
She hooks up with The Deep before he moves for his punishment for the ‘Starlight Incident,’ and ends up pregnant. However, she does get an abortion – which Vought covers up to ensure her persona stays intact, especially with her just joining and The Deep already being in hot water.
Shortly after her abortion and official introduction to the seven, Vought insists she and Homelander become a public supe couple. Claiming that it would improve both their appearances.
While the relationship was initially all for show, they reveal their true personalities and bond once the two are forced to live together. Relying on one another to cover up each other's mistakes.
Short Facts ;༊
Her wing span is exactly double her height, and the wings grew alongside her as she aged.
She was born in a small, Texas town.
Angelina has a Southern accent due to growing up in Texas
She and Homelander have a handful of nonverbal ‘tells’ or gestures to communicate their true feelings even when acting in public.
She used to believe in God, in what her mother told her, and in being a real ‘hero.’ But the world around her quickly dissolved any hope in her at a young age.
Despite the bullying she endured in her youth at the hands of Starlight, Seraphim tries to still befriend her when they’re in the seven together.
She hated her original costume and still isn’t a big fan of her new one.
Vought designed her costume to add sex appeal and, in an attempt, to make her image fit that of a ‘Homelander’s Girlfriend.’ Hence the star cutouts on her hips and chest.
She’s a singer, and singing is one of her favorite things to do for fans – even if she rarely gets to.
Her favorite cartoon is American Dad
She, like many other supes, does drugs ‘secretly.’ Mainly marijuana and coke. But never comp V like A-Train or Popclaw
She lives with Homelander in his penthouse apartment at the top of Vought Tower.
While her relationship with Homelander is initially fake and forced upon them, it surprisingly does become something real.
She’s one of the top 3 active female supes

no longer mine. [g.w. x reader]
a/n: sorry i just felt really angsty and needed an outlet and sorry again for the slight angelina slander but it's not really slander is it?
dressed in a black suit and tie, he looked as beautiful as the night he claimed himself to be yours. his once-long hair was now trimmed neatly, slicked back with gel.
he was waiting down the aisle, eyes shimmering expectantly.
but not for you.
you, who was seated amidst the crowd of wedding guests, a mere name in the guest list. a whisper of his past, a bygone age. he was once yours to love, to hold, to kiss, to cuddle and just, be.
that beautiful boy who grew up to be an even more beautiful man written by the finest littérateurs, in the finest ink.
you once counted down for the day you'd see him in a suit and tie, where he'd wait for you who'd be dressed in all white.
the gods gave you what you wished for; he was delectable in that ensemble, really. even as the nervousness he tried to keep at bay slowly seeped through, he still has this air of composure to him; a coolness you once had the privilege of calling yours.
and so, as the quartet played the wedding piece, you wondered where you'd gone wrong; why you weren't the one wearing the white gown. you continued to observe as he straightened his suit for the umpteenth time that evening, leaning over to his father, arthur and whispering a few things in the man's ear.
then, the doors flew open. songbirds that had been conjured up by precise spell work flew into the room, then coalesced with the bouquets of flowers, disappearing into thin air. their twitters and chirps that sounded like glockenspiels being struck still remained, echoing and harmonising with the quartet.
she walked in.
she who must be the luckiest woman in the world.
in all white, she put the moon to shame. even as the candelabrums stood dignified, burning with importance and decorum, she outdid them.
with a gown dotted with rhinestones that glimmered without needing a light source, and silky hair that flowed in the evening breeze, she spelled out perfection without having to use any vowels and consonants; all she needed was to flash a smile and laugh.
angelina johnson cascaded down the aisle with her train of periwinkle behind her. eyes were all on her, and hers peered through the veil at the man whose last name would soon be hers.
that last name you'd sworn was going to be yours.
bitterness soon bubbled inside you, as she finally reach him. good for her.
"do you, angelina johnson, take george fabian weasley to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
i object.
"and do you, george fabian wealey, take angelina johnson to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"i do."
don't.
think of the nights we'd spent at the astronomy tower, poring over the endless revised editions of this and that. think of the candles we'd burnt through, the wax seeping into our robes, but we didn't care.
think of the nights we'd spent running away from the awful squib, just to dance in the corridors without a care in the world. think of the afternoons by the great lake trying to dry ourselves off the muggle way, but we ended up smelling like the giant squid instead.
think of all the beautiful hogsmeade weekends we'd wasted away in the common room because you just wanted to be in my arms.
think of the evenings we spent at the matron's dabbing away at quidditch wounds and naming all your scars and bruises. this one "billy", that one "fred" because it really did look like him.
where had it all gone? where had that boy gone; washed away by the war and found by the shore of the light side, earless and cold but still so painfully wonderful.
were you not mine? were you not mine to vow separation only by death to? was i not the one you'd promise to marry after the war?
and as you felt your breath hitch in your throat, the crowd cheered.
and that was it, as they wrapped their arms hungrily around each other, lips meeting, tying their bonds and changing her last name to his. that was the very second you knew he flipped over your chapter and burnt the pages. he rewrote over your stanzas written in fourth year that stretched all the way to the seventh and doused them in kerosene, setting it all ablaze.
and it was at that moment you swore you saw his eyes meet with yours from behind her; serving as a reminder of the distance between the two of you as he stood in the aisle, and you seated on the benches.
that man was no longer yours to call "mine".

next gen characters and their favourite parent 🫣
victoire: fleur but maybe only by a margin (very close, bill should not take it personally that victoire just specifically admires fleur more because they are more similar in character, she really loves her dad)
dom: bill because he let her get tattoos before she was 18 and he will brush her hair in the morning when she’s too tired to do it herself
louis: fleur because their mother would never allow louis to leave the house looking ugly and they really appreciate that
molly: percy, because they are similar in person and when he gives her approval it just makes her feel more satisfied yknow
lucy: audrey because her mother lets her get away with more stuff than her dad does, so she feels more comfortable being goofy with her than her dad
fred: george because his love language is irritating people and george will just give the same energy back without any qualms
roxanne: angelina, she feels they have a greater understanding between them and she goes to her mother for advice more often
james: ginny, he is the definition of a momma’s boy who would always go soft on her
albus: ginny, even though he feels he’s more similar to harry, sometimes ginny just saying shit as it is gives him a rare sort of calm he appreciates
lily: harry, she loves making her dad interested in anything and everything shes interested in and he’s always genuinely listening to her
rose: no. she genuinely has no preference she loves her parents the same. she is very consistent in her love for them
hugo: contrary to rose, it honestly depends on the day. ron will sneak him toffee and hot chocolate late on a saturday evening and hugo will deem him the favourite parent, the next day hermione buys him a squishmallow and she is
teddy: …andromeda
scorpius: even though he would rather keel over than ever think of liking one parent more than the other… he was closer with astoria growing up (due to their likeness she could bond with him easier), but obviously as scorpius grows up he gets closer with his dad, and he’ll have more experiences with him than he ever had with his mother.
lysander: rolf because he takes lysander all over the world to pursue his interests in geology. rolf will be trying to tame some swedish serpent whilst lysander is inspecting the pebbles in its cave and thats a normal father-son bonding time for them
lorcan: luna. lorcan has been illustrating for the quibbler since he was 13 because luna genuinely doesnt believe there is any other artist that can perfectly mirror the complexity of peculiar fantastical creatures as her son (it’s literally a stick figure)
alice: neville. she’s a daddy’s girl who has her dad wrapped around her finger. i mean, he loves her so much that he forgives her for hating gardening
frank: hannah. she forces him to help her fold the laundry with her and he hates it, but he still loves her (forcing him to help her with her chores just so she can spend more time with him, i see you hannah)
delphi: voldemort 😻😻 (she needs therapy immediately)

ANGELINA JOLIE BIRTH CHART ANALYSIS
Let's look into the chart of the actress Angelina Jolie!
Cancer rising, 1h Venus, both rising and Venus in the bound of saturn. Twelvth part of the Ascendant in the Venus bound of Gemini. Timeless beauty since Saturn reserves. Also the twlevth part of the Ascendant is near the natal sun - stardom.
She is ruled by the Moon and the Moon is applying to Jupiter, her benefic of sect. Jupiter is also a natural significator of children, so she adopted a lot of children. Jupiter is also the domicile and bound ruler of her prenatal lunation so it is important for her life purpose in general. Jupiter also rules her 11h from Fortune, so it bestows wealth upon her.
Jupiter rules her 6h of services and 9h of foreign lands. So since her ruler the Moon is applying to Jupiter in 10h, she's publicly known for her charity works in foreign lands.
Saturn rules her 7h and while she has a day chart, Saturn is in detriment, in a nocturnal sign in which it doesn't rejoice, and it doesn't rejoice by solar phase either because it is an evening star. The out of sect malefic Mars is maltreating Saturn with a superior square. And the 12th part of saturn is in the bound of Mars. Her partner Brad Pitt was abusive. Mars also rules her 5h of romance so this area of her life is unfortunately characterized by violence.
The Lot of Spirit indicates career and it is in Virgo in her chart. Vettius Valens says that Virgo as a sign represents actors. It's in the bound of saturn showing that she's an actress with a long lasting legacy, with its ruler Mercury being in its own sign.
The 12th part of her midheaven is in Scorpio in the bound of Mars. Again, Mars is the out of sect malefic for her. People can get aggressive with her for no reason but it's because they get intimidated by her. The movie that launched her into international stardom was Lara Croft : Tomb Raider, and it was released in 2001 when she was in a level 2 peak period from the Lot of Spirit.
In 1995, while she was filming the movie "Hackers", she had a romance with the actor Jonny Lee Miller, and she was in a level 2 peak period from the Lot of Eros. They got married later in 1996 and got divorced later in February 1999, when she was in another level 2 peak period. So peak periods from the Lot of Eros can also show relationship break-ups. During the 1st Loosing of Bond period from Lot of Eros, she married the actor Billy Bob Thornton whom she divorced in 2003.
In 2005 during another level 2 peak period from Lot of Eros (Leo Period), she fell in love with Brad Pitt her co-star in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Since this was a Leo Period,it is ruled by 12h sun. 12h can be related to scandals and hidden affairs so she was accused of separating Brad Pitt from his wife Jennifer Aniston and that he cheated on Jennifer with her. I don't think they cheated,Jolie herself stated that she wouldn't be in a relationship with a cheater cause her father cheated on her mother.
But their relationship still raised suspicion. In April 2012 in the foreshadowing Capricorn L2 period they got engaged, and married in the Aquarius peak L2 period in 2014. On september 2016, a little bit before the Culmination Aries period which started on October 2016, they separated and Jolie filed for divorce. She accused him of verbally abusing her and their children on an airplane in 2016. This Aries period is ruled by(and contains)her out of sect malefic Mars and Mars indicates separation.
I think that the problems between them started in the foreshadowing period (February 2011 - May 2013). This is my own theory cause thay foreshadowing period is a Capricorn period and Capricorn is a cardinal sign, and she has both malefics - Mars and Saturn - in cardinal signs. Jolie stayed that the 2016 airplane incident wasn't the first time so i think the abuse began in that foreshadowing period and the airplane incident was the breaking point.

What I Feel For You
Thena xf!reader
It’s 400 AD and the height of the Gupta Empire. Over 5,000 years have passed since you first gazed upon Thena and you haven’t stopped looking at her since.
A/N: This has been on my mind since I rewatched the film November and I’ve always felt that Eternals has been one of the more underrated movies of phase 4. Angelina Jolie is also brilliant as Thena obviously and since she’s bisexual in real life then her character has to be queer too. I don’t make the rules.
Word count: 2655
You supposed that stranger pairs had existed. As you gazed upon Sersi and Ikaris while they partook in their bonding ceremony, you couldn’t help but think about how different the two of them were. While Sersi was pure warmth that seemed to extend to every single person she met, Ikaris remained tactical and slightly removed from everything else that happened with the humans around them. But then you remembered how Sersi had softened him and the days of Babylon where he seemed to grow an entirely new perspective. He began learning the humans’ languages, became more involved in their development and culture, and allowed Sersi to lead him into something he would have otherwise left unfamiliar.
The problem was that you couldn’t change for Thena even though you longed to desperately. For her you would remake yourself from the dirt and clay you stood on, mold a new person with your own tears. Back in Babylon, she said that she didn’t come to Earth to cower behind walls, but that’s exactly what you did. On that day you had watched her fight deviants with cosmic weaponry and both the grace and strength of a thousand winds. You were behind the city walls, of course, for what else would you have been able to do?
Similar to Druig, your special ability was mostly psychological and didn’t serve much purpose on the battlefield. Communicating with animals had allowed you to assist the humans in their domestication but not much else when it came to fighting the deviants. In fact, you spent most of your time in the company of four-legged, scaly, or winged creatures and admiring your Thena from afar.
A few decades ago, the two of you had shared a dance during the humans’ celebration of solstice that Druig and Phastos sneakily planned. You remembered feeling more alive than ever with her arms around that night. A stupid joke that you told her actually made her smile the biggest you had ever seen and suddenly you were about to confess all the feelings that had been kept hidden over the course of thousands of years. But then in an instant, the entire party erupted into a swarm of chaos when a band of horns sounded out the spotting of some lurking deviants.
“Stay here, little one,” she had quickly told you before placing a brief kiss on your forehead and running off as a sword materialized into her hands. But you were certain that she had only been concerned about you as a friend would and quickly convinced yourself that she wasn’t interested.
And there was also Gilgamesh. Admittedly, there was a time earlier on into your mission that you wanted to resent him completely. He was strong, a natural protector, and capable of giving Thena that life of adventure you knew she longed for. The way that the two worked in sync when they fought was almost like an intricate dance you knew only two people with a deep personal connection could choreograph. You couldn’t help but covet what he had but being the giant teddy bear that he was it eventually softened you. Now, you tried to be happy for them both from the sidelines.
After the bonding ceremony you retreated to a nearby herd of elephants that you were growing pretty close with. You were languidly brushing the oldest female and leader of the herd when Ajak stumbled upon you.
“I’m sure these majestic creatures make wonderful company but a little bird told me that you’re avoiding someone in particular,” she approached you and the herd slowly. Ajak was always careful around animals and behaved much more respectfully than others like Kingo. Near Mount Erymanthos he had once tried to ride a giant wild boar on a dare from Sprite which had ended awfully for all parties involved. “Care to talk to old me about it?”
You knew that Ajak wasn’t a threat to the elephants so you silently directed them to let her through as you replied, “Birds are terrible gossips, you can’t trust them all the time.” That one made her chuckle a bit but then she became serious once again.
“Why don’t you talk to Thena? She cares about you, you know? We all do and just want to see you happy.”
“She doesn’t care about me the way that I care about her,” you sigh right before another elephant steals the brush from your hand and holds it up out of your reach with its trunk. “Hey, what the heck?”
“See? Even they know you’re being ridiculous. Why do you assume that she feels that way when you haven’t spoken about it?”
“Ajak, look at me,” you step back so that now all of the elephants tower over you like trees. Besides Sprite, you’re the shortest of the eternals and quite insecure about it. And while you weren’t bad looking by any means, Sersi and Makkari were certainly more beautiful than you were. You had always had an easier time blending into a crowd. “What can I give her that Gilgamesh can’t? She deserves someone like him who won’t hold her back. My life isn’t exciting and full of danger like hers. I would just bore her.”
That’s when Ajak gives you a stern, foreboding look and you know that you’ve upset her. “Careful there, I don’t want to hear you say things like that about yourself. You may not be a fighter like her but neither of you are just one single thing. You bring out a different side of her that no one else can and she has feelings for you too.”
That’s what makes your head shoot up at attention. “She... she told you that?” You can hardly believe what Ajak is telling you but suddenly your heart is bursting with hope.
“Actually, Gilgamesh and I were just discussing it.” That is... surprising. “But Thena has her own insecurities and isn’t certain how to talk to you either.”
“Why... why is that? She’s Thena! She’s the most incredible person I’ve ever known. She isn’t scared of anything.”
Ajak simply shrugs but gives you a suggestive look. “Sometime our judgment becomes clouded when we’re in love. Maybe it’s something you should think about.” With a smile, she gracefully turns on her heels and begins walking away.
The elephant hands you your brush back but by now you’re too distracted to continue brushing them. There’s an idea forming in your head and you need their opinion on something.
-~-
A few days later when everything is set up, you’re going over the plan one last time with Gilgamesh while Thena is out training.
“Do you think she’ll like it?” You’re certain that by now he must be sick of dealing with you but he simply laughs and gives you a nod.
“Relax, she’s going to love it! Just be yourself and she won’t be able to resist you.” You curse yourself for ever holding a grudge against Gilgamesh. He’s been nothing but sweet and supportive this entire time and you hope to someday repay him back. He pulls you into a warm hug before his eyes catch something and he becomes much quieter. “She’s right over there, good luck.”
When you turn to look at Thena, it’s like emerging from freezing cold waters and feeling the warmth of the sun on your face for the first time. Everything about her is mesmerizing and bright and it makes you feel like an entirely new being just discovering the wonders of the world. She looks at you with some understandable curiosity after seeing you and Gilgamesh innocently embrace and begins to walk towards you, her eyes never leaving yours. You’re determined not to break eye contact with her but a smile uncontrollably takes over your entire face until she’s only a few feet in front of you and finally speaks.
“Did I miss something?” She asks with a hint of playfulness in her tone and you quickly shake your head.
“No, you’re actually right on time,” this causes her to raise an eyebrow at you and you plead with yourself to stay strong. “I was hoping that you would join me for a ride, if you wanted to that is.”
Her surprised smile causes tingles to spread throughout your entire body. “I would be honored, sweet one, but what would we be riding?” You’re probably grinning like a child at this point but you just continue to stand there cheekily as the answer reveals itself. Out from the jungle, an elephant slowly saunters its way over towards the two of you and Thena’s eyes light up even more than usual. “She’s ethereal,” you hear her whisper before the elephant gives a reply.
“Her name is Aaloka and she says thank you,” you translate. “She also said she agrees with me.”
“Agrees with you on what?”
Be brave. “That you are very beautiful,” your words surprise her and a blush begins to cover her cheeks. It’s all so much to take in that you start to feel your heart race. The only other times it does that is when you’re fearful, but she’s the only one that makes it beat this way. It’s like it beats for her.
Aaloka kneels and Thena assists you on top first before gracefully leaping up behind you. You start to feel a bit overwhelmed by how high up you are with nothing to hold onto until she wraps your arms around your waist and instantly freeze. No one has ever held you like this before. Eventually, you allow yourself to relax your body and sink softly back into hers. It’s an unfamiliar feeling, but a welcome one.
“Are we just going to sit here or do you plan on taking me somewhere?” She asks playfully and it shakes you from your spell.
“Um, yes! Let’s go!”
Aaloka already knows which path to follow and it doesn’t take as long as you had expected for you to arrive at the spring. In the close distance is a waterfall that reflects the vibrant pinks, yellows, and oranges of the sky all around you. Thena lets go of you, which leaves you feeling somewhat empty, and is the first to dismount before you awkwardly try to slide your way down. At the very last second, the elephant moves one of her feet so that you trip forward and lose your balance. Thena immediately catches you in her arms with a soft laugh and brushes away some of your hair that’s been slightly tussled.
“Hey, that wasn’t very nice!” You scold the elephant which has no sense of guilt whatsoever. “She did that in purpose you know.” Thena chuckles once again with a look of amusement in her eyes.
“I think she knows that I like keeping you in my arms, sweet one,” Thena huskily breaths into your ear and it causes a gasp to escape from your mouth. Looking up into her giant hypnotizing orbs stops time itself. How did you become so lucky to be here with her? Doubt starts to settle in and you unconsciously cling to her harder.
“I just don’t know what I’ve done to deserve your affections. I’m not strong like you or fast like Makkari. Everyone on the team has a myth or a legend named after them except for me. Thena, they named a goddess and a city after you! But me? I’m nothing extraordinary.” The confession brings a frown on her face that instantly confuses you. What did you say that upset her?
“Do you really not see how incredible you are? You’re the most amazing person I know.” Thena looks at you with such admiration that it’s almost impossible for you not to believe her words. “If they name something else after Kingo I think his ego might cause his head to explode. But you, my darling, are too quick to discredit yourself for all the good you have helped put into this world. Things you have done from the pureness of your own heart even if you were scared, unsure of how to show the humans and animals how they must work together. Respect each other.”
“It’s my job,” you brush it off with a shrug, unsure of what she’s getting at. Nothing that you’ve done could ever compare to when she saved an entire city full of people. “You deserve someone just as strong as you are. A fighter that can protect you.”
“You think I can’t protect myself?” She raises an eyebrow at you and you realize how stupid you must have sounded.
“No, that’s not what I meant! Of course you’re… I meant to say that I wouldn’t want to… because I’m not-“
All the air dissipates from your lungs when her hand comes to rest at your cheek. Softly laughing, she drops the fake act of frustration in order to soothe you.
“Shhh, I was only joking, my dear. For the record, I’m not interested in a partner that can spar with me or deals with all their problems like Ikaris by blasting through everything. I only want you. You’ve taught me that there’s so much more to life than fighting. That there can be different ways of looking at the world.”
It’s at that same moment that the universe seems to send you a message in the form of thousands of green lights which begin to float up towards the sky. The synchronous dancing of the fireflies wasn’t something you had planned and you find it difficult to resist the smile that grows on your face. Standing together in the glowing green light, it feels nothing short of a truly magical moment.
“Y/N,” Thena softly whispers and you are brought back to the face of the most beautiful woman in the world looking at you with so much warmth. “I would never lie to you. So please believe me when I say I have never loved anyone else the way I love you.”
You’re sure your own heart is glowing within your chest brighter than all the fireflies in the world.
“You… You love me?” All of a sudden it feels as if you might float away. As long as she goes with you you’d be fine.
“Yes, darling. I love you and I’d be honored to be yours.”
“I love you too!” You throw your arms around her neck while Thena giggles, instinctively pulling your bodies closer together.
“May I kiss you, little one?” She breaths in your ear, sending shivers of anticipation across every inch of your skin.
“Please do,” you answer with a smile before your lips finally meet.
Your kiss is exactly like all the wonderful things you love about Thena. She’s gentle yet passionate, pouring all of her desire for you into the kiss while still being incredibly soft and responsive. In all your years of living you’ve never kissed anyone before. You’ve secretly observed human couples of all types share countless kisses throughout history. You feel like you’ve been forced to sit through even more between Sersi and Ikaris in the past century alone. Every time you’ve wondered what It must be like to experience something so magical. With Thena, you’re certain you finally understand what all of the fuss was about. Nothing else has ever felt so right.
The two of you eventually separate when you’re both startled by the sound of Aaloka triumphantly cheering. Thena pulls you closer to her as you laugh, smiling directly into the crook of her neck.
“What did she say?” Thena asks.
“Something along the lines of ‘It was about time already!’”
“Well I have been waiting to kiss you for only a few thousand years!”
Feeling bold, you reach up to take Thena’s face into your hands. “Maybe we should make up for the lost time?”
“Definitely,” she agrees before swooping down to bring your lips together once again.

I think it's pretty clear that the Saw narrative parallels Amanda and Angelina- their names, their appearances, their abusive backgrounds and familial struggles with addiction, their being young women full of life and ending up beat down and alone, even their lonely deaths and being remembered as a headline and forgotten and unmourned by most people. It's also I think meant to be clear that this similarity makes Hoffman resent Amanda. Maybe because Amanda survived and Angelina didn't. But I don't think it stops there, and I don't think their similarities are why Hoffman seems to not just resent but to outright hate Amanda. I think Hoffman hates Amanda because she reminds him not just of Angelina, but himself.
To elaborate on what I mean I think it's worth addressing that both Amanda and Hoffman struggle with addiction. This is something John uses against both of them, and seems to succeed in doing so- Amanda stops using heroin and thinks John is right about her, Hoffman reluctantly accepts what John is saying about his alcoholism even when disagreeing with him about other things. Addiction is an extremely complicated issue and I deeply empathize with people who have to live through it. The reality of addiction is ... rough. Sometimes people can't accept that they are experiencing addiction, sometimes they try and deal with it by saying at least they are not like other addicts- "real addicts," "I'm not as 'bad' as they are." This definitely seems to be the case with Hoffman regarding Amanda. He tells her that she didn't value her life, but that he did, and says she needed to be tested, while he doesn't. He wants to believe he's nothing like her, that Amanda was wasting her life and didn't value her life enough to make one worth living, and it took John nearly killing her to get her to stop killing herself. This is what John thought about Hoffman- that he'd given up on life, was drinking himself to death, and John was doing Hoffman charity by taking him in, despite or maybe because of Hoffman's clear resistance to it all and how slowly he took to it. And Hoffman had in fact essentially given up on his life and was slowly drinking himself to death.
Amanda's recovering from her addiction, and John's "success" in "curing" her through the trap- the same trap Hoffman would eventually end up in- is something that trauma-bonds Amanda and John together. John is definitely trauma-bonded to all his apprentices, but it's not "success" that defines John's attitude towards Hoffman. John doesn't seem very satisfied with him at all, and doesn't give Hoffman the (clearly abusive) "familial" relationship he gives Amanda. Hoffman tells John that Amanda will fail him, knowing that to someone like John, all addicts are failures, unless "fixed" by him. As the stigma goes, once an addict, always an addict. Hoffman knows this very well. John didn't "fix" him at all. (Of course, Amanda knows she wasn't "fixed" either, and she is aware that "it's all bullshit" under all the indoctrination, but she was aware all along- after all, her first disobedience against John was killing Adam, out of mercy, not malice, because it was John who put him in an unwinnable trap, leaving him to die slowly and tortuously. Hoffman doesn't know that, because he thinks he already knows Amanda, but also doesn't want to know Amanda. The view Hoffman has of Amanda says less about her and more of him.)
I think Hoffman resents that Amanda is alive when Angelina isn't. But I think he hates Amanda because he is alive and Angelina isn't, and Amanda- who is in the same situation he is as one of John's cult members whose lives weren't "worth" anything before him, told they had nothing and nowhere except for John, but who seems to have convinced herself there's some positive purpose to all of it- is a constant reminder of that. That someone who didn't "deserve" or "value" their life is alive, when someone who he thinks did, is dead. John gave them both "second chances," and while Amanda fought for her life in her trap, all Hoffman wanted to do was kill Seth Baxter and then keep drinking himself numb. He didn't want to recover. It's Amanda the "junkie", the "addict," the "failure" who keeps surviving everything thrown her way, where Hoffman seemingly doesn't have to be tested so many times. He tells himself it's because he's better than she is, because that's what he needs to believe. It's Amanda who "valued her life" and was the first survivor, despite not being the first apprentice. Hoffman is the first apprentice- and John clearly doesn't think he values his life. Not just because of the reverse bear trap in the will- John had Hoffman put Kerry in her trap:
"Up until now, you have spent your life among the dead, piecing together their final moments. You're good at this because you, like them, are also dead. Dead… on the inside. You identify more with a cold corpse than you do with a living human. I believe you want to join your true family, indeed your only family, in death." We all know this was out of nowhere, and an unfair and inaccurate judgment of Kerry, and John probably just didn't want to get caught. I think this was John's warning to Hoffman, that his test was coming.
But around this point Hoffman is more focused on getting rid of Amanda. He obviously doesn't give a fuck about Jill, he's not trying to avenge her loss, and I don't really think he felt threatened enough by Amanda to think he needed her gone if he was going to survive in a world without John. He wanted to get her killed so he could believe she was a failure and he wasn't, that everything in her he saw in himself was something he was stronger than. That he was nothing like her. That she wasn't really a survivor, and he was. "I don't mean anything to you. I'm just a pawn in your stupid games." Was that vindicating to hear, or did it confirm that Amanda really did have more in common with Hoffman than he wanted to believe, and that his bleak circumstances weren't so far off from hers, and not any better? Maybe after that, she haunted him too, like Angelina did. Not reminding him who he lost, but reminding him who he is.

okay, look. i've been having some weirdass dreams recently. it's been a thing. but last night was probably my magnum opus and i want to share it with the world. for science.
i'm getting married to the least likely person i'd ever marry in my entire life; elon fucking musk. trust me i know, its disgusting and mkaes me ill thinking about it. my bridemaids line behind me is long, 10 really famous celebrities long. my maid of honor? cate blanchett. why her? not sure! i enjoy her as an actress but she's not one of my favorites.
we're at the vows part of the wedding, where grimes is my officiant. because obviously. its the best place for her to be. and we're at the bit where "if any who object to this union wants to object, step up now or forever hold your peace" (actually she might have said peas here now that i think about it). and there is a massive crowd as the audience but its been dead silent this whole time and continues to be.
then... i hear it. the sound of my bouquet dropping and cate blanchett's heels moving behind me. i turn to face her, but that's not cate blanchett. its angelina jolie (who was apparently my 8th bridesmaid). and her mouth is open and even though she's right next to us on the altar she screams as loud as she can "I OBJECT!"
i gasp in such a way that makes one feel the hurt and pain of the objection, shock and awe rippling through my body as if i cannot believe my maid of honor, angelina jolie, would ever do such a thing to me.
so angelina and i argue for at least ten minutes about the sanctity of marriage and how deep my love for elon musk goes (disgusting by the way. hate it). and eventually i get sick of arguing with her, and turn to elon who has been silent this entire time. just standing there with a smirk on his face as if he expected this shenanigans or something.
practically sick with the way my wedding day turns out and how elon is looking at me i state, "alright, if you're so smug. pick me. choose me. love me." and if you greys anatomy girlies know the pain behind that quote you know it was said with feeling.
and for some odd reason bringing out this specific quote makes elon freeze up and his jaw drop, eyes wide. like he would never expect me to break out such harrowing quotes. maybe he and i bonded over our love for medical dramas i dont know.
then, he steps down from the altar and down into the aisle and it suddenly smacks me that maybe im getting married in Notre Dame. small detail to notice on such an important moment.
elon lets out a world-weary sigh and looks out the stained glass window where golden hour is at its end and then looks back at me then angelina jolie. that gets her to stop trying to yell at me even though i'd given up ages ago and she turns to elon too.
then it hits me. i know where this story is going and im not ready for it. i remember feeling physically ill about the realization but i cant stop it now.
elon takes the time to divulge a story about his childhood as a little boy in an emerald mine. he was exploring one of the mines and finds a trove of fairies trying to hide from his father's greed. they try to get him to help, to take them where its safe and they can be free. elon refuses and they curse him for it. man by day. ogre by night. only until true love's first kiss.
just as he finishes the story he lifts up to the air and transforms in a bright golden light into a hideous ogre, causing every single one of my bridesmaids except angelina jolie to faint.
and i wind up just standing there, gaping because i wound up being farquaad in this whole ordeal and angelina jolie is goddamn shrek.
and i can like. tell im being pulled away, fade to black style, but even when i cant see i still hear them say two more things to one another.
"but im supposed to be beautiful" elon whispers, obviously crying.
angelina jolie laughs softly and mutters "it's okay. i have a kink. we can work it out."

MR AND MR SITH I LOVE IT!!!😭😭😭
I’m just picturing them doing the Angelina and Brad pose and it’s sending me
ok i was thinking about this au this morning so here is 1.1k of a writing warm up set in the mr and mr sith au where the jedi have captured master skywalker to take him home (they think he's been held hostage this entire time), but they accidentally pick up sith obi-wan instead and no one is prepared........
(1.1k)
Ena frowns down at Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker, a bad feeling sprouting in her chest. This all feels wrong, but it isn’t. She knows it isn’t.
“He really fought back?” she asks Mal as soon as he enters the room. “But you told him we were Jedi, right? That we came to rescue him? That he was safe?”
Mal puts his hand on her shoulder. The touch is supposed to be comforting, but Ena isn’t sure how much she wants comfort right now. “I did,” he swears. “But he’s been held captive by the Sith for so long, Ena, who knows what they’ve done to his mind?” “He doesn’t…he doesn’t look tortured,” Ena says, looking over Master Skywalker’s bound figure. They’d had to physically tie him down with rope and chain once they’d subdued him, apparently. Apart from the livid bruise along his cheekbone, he appears uninjured. His hair—auburn and rather short—falls messily over his face.
“You and I both know that sometimes the deepest scars are ones we cannot see,” Mal tells her, squeezing her shoulder once.
“And the child?” Ena asks. “Has the med droid finished looking him over?” “Healthy,” Senaka reports as she comes into the room, montrals twitching at the change of Force, a heaviness in the air that they know comes from their captive even though they’re not sure why. “Five standard years of age, I believe, with a ridiculously high midichlorian count. He’ll be waking up within the hour, I’m sure.”
“Master Skywalker has clearly bonded with the boy,” Mal reports, hand rising to tug at a padawan braid that’s no longer there. “It was only when we separated them that he stopped fighting us. He didn’t even notice Senaka had a force collar until it was already on his neck.”
Ena feels a headache brewing behind her eyes. She knows what they’ve done is the right thing.
It doesn’t feel right though.
To tie a venerated, traumatized man to a chair, to win a fight against him by subduing a child…but they had had no other option.
After six years of no information, the Jedi Council had finally caught a whisper about Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker’s location. Four Jedi Knights had been dispatched to follow this rumor to its bitter end, to track down Master Skywalker, rescue him from the clutches of the Sith who stole him away so long ago, and bring him home.
Their informant had confirmed that a man with yellow eyes was often seen on the same planet, in the same city. So they’d had to move fast.
And when Master Skywalker had not been receptive…when he’d killed Knight Avas…Ena knows they’d been forced into making a decision that felt wrong but must be right.
Mal squeezes her shoulder once, opening his mouth to say something. Before he can, Master Skywalker shifts slightly in his chair before he freezes completely. Awake.
His eyes flash open a second later, pale blue glowering right into Ena’s soul. “Where is he?” he spits, words spoken in an unexpectedly Coruscanti accent. “What have you done with him?”
“Master Skywalker,” Ena says, holding out a hand to try and soothe the fury thrashing in the man’s eyes. He snarls the moment she comes too close. “The boy is fine. I swear it, you know the Jedi would never hurt a child. We won’t hurt you either. It’s over. You’re safe.”
Master Skywalker rears back as much as he can in his current position. “I want to see him,” he commands. “Bring him to me.”
“We can’t do that,” Senaka shakes her head slowly. “You’re…volatile, Master. You could hurt him.”
“You will let me see my child,” Master Skywalker snaps, voice seeping with danger. “I—”
It is the patter of little feet that interrupts him now, and the three Jedi turn around immediately. Not before there’s a blur of movement from the door and the boy careens between their legs, running to throw himself onto Master Skywalker’s lap.
Though the man’s arms are bound tightly behind him, Ena can see the way he automatically tries to hold the boy, shoulders jerking forward before he sinks back with a snarl of frustration.
“Papa!” the boy is saying over and over again, rubbing over the Jedi Master like an affectionate tooka cat. “I can’t feel you! Papa, why are you gone?”
“I’m here, Luke, it’s alright. We’re alright,” Master Skywalker murmurs, voice becoming impossibly softer as he leans far enough down so that he can tap their foreheads together.
“Master Skywalker, we mean you no harm,” Ena tries to say, taking another step forward. Senaka is right. Master Skywalker killed a Jedi only a few hours ago. He’s unstable. He’s dangerous.
“I don’t know who that is,” the man snaps as the child—his child?—hides his face in his neck. “Release me at once. I have no ties to the Jedi Order.”
“What?” Mal looks shocked then shaken. Ena understands. None of them ever knew Master Skywalker, but everyone in the Temple had heard of him. He was legendary. A perfect Jedi. To hear that he doesn’t even recognize his name…it shakes Ena to her core. “No—you—you are Master Skywalker. Do you—Anakin. That’s your name. Anakin Skywalker. You’ve been missing for six years. You were kidnapped by the Sith on an undercover mission to Nyrel. We never stopped looking for you.”
The man in front of them freezes again, face expressionless as the seconds tick on. Slowly, a red eyebrow arches its way up his forehead. “Oh,” he says like he’s suddenly realized a great mystery of the universe. “Oh, I see.”
The child on his lap tugs at the front of his robes before deciding to tug at the bristles of his beard instead. “Papa,” Luke says in that way children do when they are demanding attention. “I can feel Daddy though. He’s not feeling good.”
Skywalker’s nostrils flare at this, and he cuts his eyes from the far wall down to the boy and then up to Ena. “Did you hurt him?” he demands, voice like ice. “When you captured me. Did you hurt him?”
“The boy? No—you can see, he’s fine—”
“A man,” Skywalker shakes his head. “Golden hair. Blue eyes. Tall.”
“No, papa,” Luke tugs at Skywalker’s beard again. “No. He’s okay. But he’s not feeling good things.”
Skywalker’s attention is fully on his child. “What do you mean, Luke?” he asks, voice gentle and coaxing.
“Angry,” Luke says. “Daddy is angry and close.”
For some reason this makes Master Skywalker smile, lines around his eyes crinkling with the force of his joy. “That’s very good then, Luke Love. Do you know why?”
Ena feels Mal shift next to her, unease growing in the air around them as Master Skywalker turns his face up to them. “Why?” Luke asks.
“Because our friends here really want to meet your daddy,” he says. “And I think your daddy’s going to be absolutely charmed.”
#asks#mr. and mr. sith au#obikin#i imagine when anakin comes aboard he probably darth vader at the end of rogue one's the three jedi#and then carefully cradles obi-wan's face in his hand and does the who did this to you (about the bruise)#and obi-wan is like your old jedi colleagues#and anakin blanches because obi-wan knows now......cover blown#life over#etc etc#no i dont think obi-wan would then come clean about being a sith tho#the moment would have to be right

Although Irish Ron would definitely be great Irish rep (as well as the ginger rep he always was!), I'm kinda hoping for Devon Ron... the thought of little Ron having that country accent... so cute! Also... I am kinda getting a bit excited now I know they're casting... this has 'reliving childhood' HP hype potential...
What are the top things the movies left out that you'd like them to include in this, supposedly, more book accurate adaptation?
True and fair, Devon Ron is also great and I'd really like someone in the main cast to have a country accent since Harry and Hermione are probably going to be some variant of RP (barring other changes). I would like if they gave someone else an Irish accent (e.g. Lavender, Katie, or Angelina) because Seamus "Blows Things Up" Finnegan being the only Irishman, in books that were written in the 90s, is Ow U Say Not Great but there's enough characters for a broad linguistic diversity. Like the Welsh Remus headcanon that was floating around a few years ago, that was cool. Opportunities!
Other things I'd like to see adapted for the first time: GINNY WEASLEY. Anything Ginny Weasley has ever done or said that isn't dating Harry Potter, that would be great. More of Harry's bond with McGonagall — in the movies, they don't have any one-on-one scenes together. More dimension for Luna Lovegood! She doesn't just float above it all like she does in the movies, she does get annoyed at people and she does have pride in what she does, and in particular she has a fierce affection for her friends. Same with Neville, whose character arc disappears a lot, and hence the Book 7 moment with the snake seems to come out of nowhere. In general, a lot of moments in the 8th movie are payoff on arcs that only existed in the books, and the fact that they play anyway is a reflection of the audience generously blurring the two in their minds.
On a more nitpicky level: the fourth movie does a pretty janky job adapting the plot of Goblet of Fire, because it forgets the mystery plot in favor of the tournament arc. Which is okay, because the movie turns out fine anyway and I get that the book's way too large to adapt, but you lose all the intrigue about who put Harry's name in the goblet — they cut Bagman, e.g., who is the default red-herring answer to that question — and it leaves a lot of beats feeling strange and weightless. Also, more house-elves. And Percy Weasley's character arc! For starters.

Ria is cool! Is she an oc or an existing character? Also what’s her lore? :)
Thank you so much for your kind words and interest! (I was extremely happy to receive your question though it took me a while to prepare the answer... sorry for that!! ;_; )
(I hope the quality of the image is acceptable for comfortable reading but just in case I'll copy the text in the very end of the post )
Ria is an original character inspired mostly by asian popular culture origins: games/anime/music (e.g., FGO, Honkai Impact 3rd, Madoka Magica, OkameP's songs) and world mythology/philosophy/history, as well as classical literature/music/paintings (e.g., characters like the Count of Monte Cristo and Irene Adler in particular) As for Marvel lore, I was hugely expired by Matt's story and Illyana Rasputina's story Overall, the most charming ideas I personally find in Ria are:
Healing through art that captures the beauty of the world around us.
A human's yearning to find warmth, a sense of home, and connection with others.
The duality within humans—their ability to embody kindness and tenderness while making harsh (and even cruel) decisions for a greater purpose.
________________________________________________________
The text from the image: REAL NAME: Angelina Mikhailovna Sokolova (birth name), Alleria Betskaya (current legal name) OCCUPATION: Senior ML Researcher at VECTOR Inc., RnD Department; VECTOR’S co-founder and CTO (classified) LEGAL STATUS: Deceased (Angelina), Finnish citizen (Alleria) OTHER ALIASES: Angel\Princess (coined by Matt Murdock), Ri PLACE OF BIRTH: Saint Petersburg, Russia MARITAL\RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single KNOWN RELATIVES: Maria Yuriyevna Sokolova (mother, deceased), Mikhail Alexandrovich Sokolov (father), Victoria Betskaya (aunt, deceased) GROUP AFFILIATION: VECTOR Inc., The Collegium (former) BASE OF OPERATIONS: Worldwide, the Primordial Realm (former)
HISTORY: Ria's childhood was blissfully ignorant of her family's true nature until she and her mother were kidnapped by a rival gang targeting her father, a notorious crime lord in Saint Petersburg. This event changed Ria’s life dramatically. Though the traumatic incident is mostly a blur, she vividly recalls her mother being shot and her last words: "Inherit my eyes." The next thing she remembers is her father's men arriving to find her standing amidst a chaotic bloodbath, with all the rival gang members dead around her. To ensure Ria’s safety and future, her father transferred the guardianship to Ria’s aunt, who ran an elite girls' boarding school. This institution, rooted in the Russian Empire and relocated to Finland post-October Revolution, trained individuals to influence high society from behind the scenes. A harsh upbringing with rigorous training and high expectations instilled in Ria an unwavering commitment to her principles, driven by the doctrine that the end justifies the means. This environment has also fostered a sense of perfectionism and a hidden feeling of inadequacy, well-covered by the perfect facade expected in high society. Ria's excellent education allowed her to successfully enroll in Oxford's School of International Relations, Diplomacy, and Law. Moving to the UK, she became one of the most diligent students while finally enjoying a normal life with friends and hobbies. However, after two years of studying, her aunt urgently called her back home.
Over these two years, Ria's aunt's mind deteriorated, leading to delusions. Mistaking Ria for her mother, Maria, she attacked her in a jealous rage, leaving Ria's body in a coma. Ria’s consciousness was transported to the Primordial Realm, where she survived against dangerous entities, developed new abilities, and joined the Collegium, a group fighting the Corruption that turns beings into monsters. There, she formed a deep bond with Haruko, a medic from a war-torn future. While they eventually found a way to return Ria to the human world and even founded a tech company “Vector”, tragedy struck when Haruko sacrificed herself to save Ria from a primordial entity consumed by Corruption. As the Collegium members began succumbing to Corruption, losing their humanity and being erased from existence, Ria discovered that the Judge, their leader, had orchestrated these betrayals. In the end, she executed the Judge and took his place, leading a centuries-long purge of the Primordial Realm. To prevent herself from falling to Corruption, she sealed herself within her own consciousness, using the isolation to recover and reflect on the devastating events, including Haruko's sacrifice. Upon returning to the human world after a 10000 mental years long exile, where only three months had passed, Ria moved to New York to reclaim her company and finish her friends' unfinished business, trying to retire from her heroic past. But her quiet life was disrupted by a subway mob raid, where Ria stepped in to help Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer, showing him a rare kindness he had never known.
HEIGHT: 160 CM WEIGHT: 47 KG EYES: VIOLET (WEARS GREEN LENSES) HAIR: DARK (DEEP MAGENTA) SKILLS\TALENTS: Ria has extensive knowledge in humanities and technical subjects. She also excels in fine arts (drawing, piano, and violin), and speaks multiple languages. Her strong analytical skills and inductive reasoning enhance her observation abilities, while genetic recombination boosts her cognitive capacities, including nervous system resilience and information processing speed. WEAPONS\EQUIPMENT: Despite her enhanced sight, which could rival Hawkeye's precision and Bullseye's deadliness, Ria is a civilian who does not wield any weapons. Due to a heart condition, she lacks endurance and physical strength, and her childhood trauma makes her uncomfortable with guns and sensitive to blood. Instead, she values information and knowledge as her greatest assets — her iPhone and MacBook are her essential tools and her greatest shield. FUN FACT: Ria has a deep appreciation for the arts, with a particular passion for Gesamtkunstwerk, or total art forms like theater. Unfortunately, her favorite ballet, "Swan Lake," which she saw in New York, deeply disappointed Ria due to Odile's overly flashy and inaccurate portrayal.

The Eternals, a group of superhuman beings created by Jack Kirby in 1976 for Marvel Comics, have long been an integral part of the Marvel Universe. Known for their immense powers, ancient origins, and complex mythologies, the Eternals have captured the imagination of comic book readers for decades. In 2021, Marvel Studios brought these characters to the big screen in the film "Eternals," directed by Chloé Zhao. This article delves into the differences and similarities between the movie and the comics, examining how the film adapts and reinterprets the rich source material.
Origins and Creation
Comics
In the comics, the Eternals were created by the Celestials, god-like beings who visited Earth millions of years ago. They performed genetic experiments on early humanity, resulting in three distinct groups: the Eternals, the Deviants, and baseline humans. The Eternals were granted near-immortality and vast powers, which they used to protect humanity from the destructive Deviants.
Jack Kirby's original vision was heavily influenced by mythology, science fiction, and his earlier work on the New Gods for DC Comics. The Eternals were presented as almost god-like figures themselves, with a rich tapestry of stories intertwining their existence with the myths and legends of human history.
Movie
The film adaptation retains the essential elements of the Eternals' origin, including their creation by the Celestials. However, it expands and reinterprets these elements to fit within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The Eternals in the movie are sent to Earth to protect humanity from the Deviants, following the orders of the Celestial Arishem. The film emphasizes their role in guiding and observing humanity throughout history, contributing to the development of civilization while adhering to their mandate not to interfere directly in human conflicts.
Characters and Relationships
Comics
The core group of Eternals in the comics includes Ikaris, Sersi, Thena, Makkari, Ajak, Gilgamesh, Sprite, and others. Each character has a distinct personality, power set, and role within the group. For instance, Ikaris is often portrayed as the noble and powerful leader, while Sersi is known for her hedonistic and adventurous nature. Thena, inspired by the Greek goddess Athena, is a fierce warrior and scholar.
The relationships among the Eternals are complex and often strained. Despite their immortality and shared mission, they have different views on their purpose and how to interact with humanity. These differences lead to internal conflicts and evolving dynamics over time.
Movie
The movie introduces a diverse cast of Eternals, retaining many of the key characters from the comics but with some notable changes. The gender and ethnicity of several characters are altered to create a more inclusive and representative ensemble. For example, Ajak, originally a male character in the comics, is portrayed by Salma Hayek, and Makkari, traditionally male, is reimagined as a deaf female character played by Lauren Ridloff.
The film delves deeply into the relationships and emotional lives of the Eternals. Ikaris (Richard Madden) and Sersi (Gemma Chan) share a central romantic subplot, highlighting the tension between duty and personal desire. Thena (Angelina Jolie) and Gilgamesh (Don Lee) have a profound bond, forged through their shared experiences and Gilgamesh's role as Thena's protector. The film also explores Sprite's (Lia McHugh) struggle with eternal youth and the limitations it imposes on her desire for a normal life.
Themes and Motifs
Comics
The Eternals comics explore themes of immortality, duty, and the nature of godhood. Kirby's storytelling delves into the philosophical implications of living for millennia and the burden of immense power. The Eternals' interactions with humans raise questions about free will, interference, and the ethics of their protective role.
The mythological underpinning of the Eternals' stories is a significant motif. Kirby weaves elements from various mythologies, creating a rich tapestry that connects the Eternals to the gods and heroes of ancient cultures. This connection to mythology enhances the grandeur and epic scope of their adventures.
Movie
The film adaptation retains many of these themes but adapts them to resonate with contemporary audiences. The theme of duty versus personal desire is prominent, as the Eternals grapple with their mission to protect humanity while longing for personal fulfillment and connections.
The film also emphasizes diversity and inclusion, reflecting modern societal values. The diverse cast and varied backgrounds of the characters underscore the universal nature of the Eternals' story, suggesting that heroism and virtue are not confined to a single culture or ethnicity.
Another central theme in the movie is the concept of faith and questioning authority. The Eternals' blind obedience to the Celestials is challenged, leading to a critical examination of their purpose and the morality of their actions. This theme aligns with broader narratives in the MCU, where characters often grapple with the responsibilities and consequences of their powers.
Visual and Stylistic Differences
Comics
Jack Kirby's art in the original Eternals comics is iconic, characterized by his dynamic compositions, bold lines, and imaginative designs. The visual style is grand and operatic, reflecting the epic scale of the Eternals' stories. Kirby's use of intricate details and cosmic imagery creates a sense of awe and wonder, befitting the god-like nature of the characters.
Subsequent artists who have worked on Eternals comics have brought their own styles to the series, but the grandeur and mythic quality established by Kirby remain a consistent visual thread.
Movie
Chloé Zhao's "Eternals" brings a distinct visual and stylistic approach to the MCU. Known for her work on intimate, character-driven dramas, Zhao combines this sensibility with the epic scope of a superhero film. The cinematography, by Ben Davis, captures sweeping landscapes and grandiose celestial imagery, creating a sense of scale and majesty.
The film's visual effects bring the Eternals' powers to life in a way that is both spectacular and grounded. The design of the Celestials is particularly impressive, maintaining their awe-inspiring presence from the comics while integrating them seamlessly into the film's aesthetic.
Zhao's approach to storytelling is more contemplative and character-focused than typical MCU fare, allowing for deeper exploration of the Eternals' internal struggles and relationships.

I can't remember if she did or didn't but did Jennie meet Ellen while she was in Amity? If so what was Jennie's first impression of her?
She did meet Ellen while she was in Amity and to this day she cannot stand Ellen and dislikes her. Part of that is a bad prank Ellen pulled on Jennie. One of Jen’s biggest fears when she was younger is abandonment so for a prerecorded segment Ellen had everyone leave her in the studio to prank Jennie while she was using the bathroom. Even Amity as they watched in a hidden room. So when Jen couldn’t find her group or anyone she began to freak out. And on top of that, a scare prank will occur where Ellen had a staff member in scary clothing chase her.
Angelina would stop the prank after realizing Jen’s anxiety was through the roof and comfort her, apologizing while the rest of the members continued to laugh and called her a scaredy cat
So then during the show when they showed it with everyone laughing at her scared reaction, she’ll feel embarrassed and cry, saying she didn’t like the prank. Ellen would dismiss her feelings and keep making jokes about her being the youngest member and easy to scare.
With Jen being older and all, she has overcome this fear. And When finding out BTS will be on her show, she’s not going to be happy as the bad memories will come back. Of course she’ll suck it up and try her best to be happy but that tension between her and Ellen is going to show on camera with Jen standing her ground.
She won’t be amused at the abrupt inappropriate questions Ellen will ask especially regarding her and Jungkook.
Jen will also tell Bangtan about how she really feels about Ellen before they attend the show and tell them of the bad prank
I will say that her favorite Host and the one she is closest to is Jimmy Fallon. Those two will have a great bond and he’ll be like a great father figure, always hugging her and making her feel welcome. She will always be excited to attend his show.
