Garth Greenhand and his sons and daughters

A yandere Gyro and Johnny pairing fighting off a yandere Diego and Hotpants or maybe Valentine?

IM SORRY I TOOK SO LONG I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THIS.

' = thoughts

" = speech

-----------------------------------------------

As Y/n walks in a old 1800's western styled town she questioned her life and why she's still a big jojo fan.

Y/n plops down on the sandy ground and sighs.

" I'm tired of having to walk a mile, Im just gonna rest for a little while"

1 minute

2 minutes

3 minutes

" NOTHINGS HAPPENING IM SO BOR- is that a tumble weed!"

Y/n runs up to the mini sized tumble weed and grins.

" I've always wanted to throw a tumble weed at someone!"

Y/n grabs the tumble weed and puts it in her bag that she conveniently has on her.

' Welp, I guess it's time to walk until something interesting happens.... again'

Y/n gets up and pats off sand off her sweat pants.

' I wish I had my phone and some headphones'

" Darling? Is that you?"

' Oh shit it's the zesty ball cowboy, don't look behind you y/n, don't look-'

" Ummm no this is Tyrone" Y/n says in the deepest voice she can muster.

A different voice cuts in

" Y/n get on one of our horses now"

' That's definitely Johnny I can recognize that painfully blunt voice from anywhere'

" M-kay'"

I turn around and walk torwards them.

"Which horse should I get on?"

" Mine!" Gyro says.

" Wait what? She always goes on your horse Gyro it's my turn now"

' You know what since Johnny has a big ass- uhhhh i mean nice personality I'll ride with him'

" I'll ride with you this time Johnny" Y/n says as she smiles

" WHAT!?" Gyro exclaims doing his cursed shocked face.

I walk to Johnny's horse and after two embarrassing tries I get on behind him.

I wrap my arms around Johnny just incase the horse hates me.

" Where are we even going?" Y/n asks

" Were going to continue the race"

" Wait- how far are you into the race!?-"

" Johnny and Gyro, I haven't seen you in a long time" Valentine says as he comes out a carriage 5 feet away from us.

' How did none of us hear that loud ass carriage' Y/n thinks

" Johnny, Gyro, I think we should leave he's way too American-"

Tusk Act 4 and Ball Breaker come out of there Users backs.

" Hiya" Y/n says as she waves to the cute stands.

They excitedly wave back

' Wahhh~ so cute!'

Funny slowly stride's torwards us

" Hand Y/n over please, if you do that I will spare you and you make have a chance of winning the race"

" I would appreciate if I had say in this please!" Y/n says as she deadpans.

" No! We're not handing her over to you, you bastard!" Johnny Yells

" Fine, be that way then" Funny replies as D4C comes out

" You know, I could just runaway and leave Valentine to chase me, Then you guys can finish the race without me nagging you"

" NO!" Gyro, Johnny both yell

" Fine then, I was just trying to help" Y/n says as she rolls her eyes

' No matter what Y/n I'll always be with you, even if I have to kill a few bastards to keep me with you" Johnny thinks as he Glares at Valentine

Johnny puts hand into a hand gun position and aims it at Valentine.

' I'll Die before I'll let anyone take you away from me, Y/n' Gyro thinks

Gyro takes out his steel ball and focuses on trying to find the golden ratio on Valentine.

" Don't worry I got this guys!"

Y/n opens her bag and takes the tumble weed out.

' A tumble weed......?' Johnny and Gyro both think.

Y/n throws the tumble weed at Funny. It lands directly on his and hits his eyes.

" Augh!-"

" GO BEFORE HE OPENS HIS EYES"

Johnny and Gyro quickly make there horses get away from Funny Valentine.

" HAHHA THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET FREAKY WITH LITTLE GIRLS LOSER"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IM SORRY THIS WAS JUST SO RANDOM-

I hoped you guys liked this love ya'll!

Knight Fight Week 2

With Week 1 finished and half of our Armed and Mostly Dangerous contestants sent to the Shadow Realm, I will no unveil the matchups for Week 2! These will be rolling out 10/2 at midnight CST. Or would that make it 10/3 midnight? It is entirely possible that I'm just dumb. ANYWAY!

Bracket A)

Bracket B)

Bracket C) Oops, All Orkneys (Minor Adjustment was made so that Agravaine and Gaheris can duke it out this round)

Bracket D)

Bracket E) (adjusted for tie, placement of Bors/Dagonet decided by coin toss)

Bracket F) (adjusted for tie, placement of Elyan and Cador determined by coin flip)

Bracket G) (adjusted for tie, placement of Calogrenant and Segwarides determined by coin toss)

Bonus Tie-Breaker Bracket!)

Moving forward, any future tie will be determined with a one day bonus poll in the effort of moving things along. The fact that there were three entire ties this go-around, however, deserved an extra bracket!

[kationella]

You know what, guys? You're right.

The tales of Garth's children do sound like they were the mythology from pre-Pact Reach, with the "founders" being the original gods of the region, later adapted to make them not gods but mortal heroes like so many mythologies in our world.

I mean, we have the fertility god + king of the gods + dying-and-rising god + primordial teacher (Garth), the divine twins (Harlon and Herndon), the golden apple (Rowan Gold-Tree), the little people (Children of the Forest), the trickster (Florys the Fox), the horned deity (Bors the Breaker) and more.

Heck, for all we know the original nobles were priests of a specific deity before the Pact was made and they adopted the Old Gods from the Children of the Forest. Of course, some names were forgotten like the "king of the bees" or the lover and "rich rival" from Rowan's tale.

[razorfst]

i'm forever in your debt.

It was nothing but instinct to the heir of Blackcrown, to help those wounded around him or in arms way. It had been what he was trained for, the preparation of battle always the objective of his house to be ready when needed. They took pride in that, being descended from Bors the Breaker was an honor to them and it showed with fierce each generation fought when the time came. This was no different and Andrei showed that, but even then he wasn't going to leave a wounded ally on the battlefield when they could be saved. To him it made sense to help, there was no thought of debt or need to be repaid. Head shakes as he stands to the side, free from the dangers of a battlefield where the other could receive attention while they waited. "There is no need for that." A wave of his hand to dismiss the thought accompanies his words. "I do not need to be repaid for doing what anyone else would do. Or should do." He felt like adding as proud shoulders lift and fall in a shrug. "Think nothing of it."

Some Celebrated Children of Garth Greenhand

❀ John the Oak, the First Knight, who brought chivalry to Westeros (a huge man, all agree, eight feet tall in some tales, ten or twelve feet tall in others, sired by Garth Greenhand on a giantess). His own descendants became the Oakhearts of Old Oak.

❀ Gilbert of the Vines, who taught the men of the Arbor to make sweet wine from the grapes that grew so fat and lush across their island, and who founded House Redwyne.

❀ Florys the Fox, the cleverest of Garth’s children, who kept three husbands, each ignorant of the existence of the others. (From their sons sprang House Florent, House Ball, and House Peake).

❀ Maris the Maid, the Most Fair, whose beauty was so renowned that fifty lords vied for her hand at the first tourney ever to be held in Westeros. (The victor was the Grey Giant, Argoth Stone-Skin, but Maris wed King Uthor of the High Tower before he could claim her, and Argoth spent the rest of his days raging outside the walls of Oldtown, roaring for his bride.)

❀ Foss the Archer, renowned for shooting apples off the head of any maid who took his fancy, from whom both the red apple and green apple Fossoways trace their descent.

❀ Brandon of the Bloody Blade, who drove the giants from the Reach and warred against the children of the forest, slaying so many at Blue Lake that it has been known as Red Lake ever since.

❀ Owen Oakenshield, who conquered the Shield Islands, driving the selkies and merlings back into the sea.

❀ Harlon the Hunter and Herndon of the Horn, twin brothers who built their castle atop Horn Hill and took to wife the beautiful woods witch who dwelled there, sharing her favors for a hundred years (for the brothers did not age so long as they embraced her whenever the moon was full).

❀ Bors the Breaker, who gained the strength of twenty men by drinking only bull’s blood, and founded House Bulwer of Blackcrown. (Some tales claim Bors drank so much bull’s blood he grew a pair of shiny black horns.)

❀ Rose of Red Lake, a skinchanger, able to transform into a crane at will—a power some say still manifests from time to time in the women of House Crane, her descendants.

❀ Ellyn Ever Sweet, the girl who loved honey so much she sought out the King of the Bees in his vast mountain hive and made a pact with him, to care for his children and his children’s children for all time. She was the first beekeeper, and the mother to House Beesbury.

❀ Rowan Gold-Tree, who was so bereft when her lover left her for a rich rival that she wrapped an apple in her golden hair, planted it upon a hill, and grew a tree whose bark and leaves and fruit were gleaming yellow gold, and to whose daughters the Rowans of Goldengrove trace their roots.

Glittering Westerati Flirt and Frolick at the 107th Annual Grand Garden Classic

Bring on the champagne and brandy cocktails!

Our favorite flowery southern region kicked off its famed derby season this weekend at the 107th Annual Grand Garden Classic and everybody who's anybody traveled to The Reach for society's favorite sport.

No offense to this year's champion thoroughbred, Bors the Breaker — but we all know the real competition here: seeing and being seen.

The day started at the Highgarden Country Club with the Women's League Charity Brunch (sponsored by Redwyne Family Vineyards), where Women's League Chairwoman and Future First Lady, Margaery Tyrell Baratheon was the obvious belle of the ball alongside her himbo Man Candy husband and candidate for Prime Minister, People's Councilman Renly Baratheon.

On hand to accept the League's Woman of the Year Award (before the race where she allegedly bet big on second-place winner Knight of the Laughing Tree and swore like a wildling) was Foreign Affairs Minister Lyanna Stark.

No doubt, dragged below The Neck by his fiancee, People's Councilman Robb Stark also made an appearance to support his dear aunt. Let's hope our sweet WKLN anchor Roslin Frey employs a better stylist next year if she doesn't want to be outshined by her dashing groom-to-be.

Speaking of visitors from lands far and wide, all hail Princess Arianne Martell, who made her first-ever derby appearance. Could my Little Birds' reports that the over thirty-five-years old and still single heir to the Dornish throne is shopping for a Westerosi husband be true? We've heard she canoodled with a certain ne'er-do-well prince at the after-party, but more on that later.

Included in the Princess's retinue were her cousins and daughters of International Man of Mystery Prince Oberyn Martell: (pictured from left to right) fashion maven and style influencer Obella Sand, fixer and political maverick Sarella Sand, Tyroshi Tennis Open Champion Elia Sand, and international playgirl fixer Nymeria Sand.

And let's not forget Prince Trystane and his lady love and Westerosi society princess, Myrcella Baratheon.

We wonder how Myrcella reacted when her mother, Former First Lady Cersei Lannister, showed up on the arm of the criminal eccentric businessman Euron Greyjoy? Only the gods know what's going on here, but Little Birds report that a collective gasp rippled through the box seats at the race track when they walked in? Is the notoriously uptight Lady Lannister looking for a wild ride after her tumultuous divorce and the death of her oldest son? Could #Ceron be the newest couple to watch?

Not to be outdone by their visitors, our Reachmen and women were out in full force. Let's start with the age-defying plastic surgery enthusiast socialite and boutique franchiser, Lynesse Hightower-Ormollen who made her derby entrance via billboards throughout Garden City featuring herself exclusive pieces from her stores' also named after herself spring line.

Detritus world building

Most therians are discouraged from learning magic because Fae born are dick heads. So to protect themselves, they've became very skill spell breakers. It's not uncommon to see therian towns decked out in intricate spell banishing glyphs and protection wards

And since magic is heavily associated with dick head mages, demigods, and fae bor, most therian are further discouraged to learn magic by their families and communities. Creating this misconception that therians can't do magic

Which isn't the the case at all and many therians are skilled magicians but have to keep their heritage a secret

Cursed Individual Episode Summary and Review

Episode 1.02

Nimue is on the run and having flashbacks to her childhood where apparently evil demon bears just flat out tried to murk her on the regular. She manages to kill the bear but not without getting slashed. Current Nimue is found by a pursuing Red Paladin. As he tries to murder her, she uses her powers to pull him away. She throws up at the horror of what she’s done, implying the plants have killed the monk in a horrible way. They...didn’t? When the head monk finds him he’s just sort of wrapped up? This was rather disappointing to me. Why make like something so horrible happened to him and then just have him sort of Wicker Manned there rather than dead? The Weeping Monk finds Squirrel and takes him captive. He’s really just using him as bait because when some of the escaped villagers come to free Squirrel, the Weeping Monk promptly kills them all in the best choreographed bit of the show so far. In fact it’s probably the most compelling thing that’s happened thus far on the show. The Weeping Monk lets Squirrel, having gotten what he wanted out of him. 

Nimue is trying to sneak into the city that is crawling with Red Paladins all of a sudden. She has to have a tooth removed by a travelling dentist to prove a lie of why she’s going into town. This is never mentioned again in the episode, which seems like an oversight since she should be in terrible pain now. Arthur finds her and she is attacked by Bors, whose hand she cuts off. She remembers being in the village and using her powers when the other teenagers brutally attacked her. Oddly I got a weird vibe from this flashback since they frame it with Nimue walking with a boy and admitting that he’s already promised to another girl but she’s apparently gonna roll with that anyway. It honestly is a weird tone to pick since it makes Nimue less sympathetic. Arthur proves to be a grade A dick by wanting her to give him the sword even after she explains that her DYING MOTHER GAVE HER A MISSION. Arthur point blank tells her that her fresh dead mother needs to be gotten over pronto. So he has NO empathy for someone who just had her home and family wiped out like 24 hours ago? I get that the sword is supposed to manipulate people, but does it really have to make Arthur look so unlikable? 

Merlin goes and finds Nimue’s mother and buries her. He then chats with someone looking like the Grim Reaper who complains about him losing the sword and being a drunk. Meanwhile Arthur steals the damn sword and leaves Nimue. Merlin and the Grim Reaper are still talking and he comes up with a complicated plan to destroy the sword, which he thinks is a bad omen. The Grim Reaper is more concerned about the dying fey but agrees to help Merlin. Arthur rides off to adventure with his boosted sword.

I don’t like anyone on this show. There’s a difference between giving likable characters flaws or redemption arcs to horrible characters. This show literally has given me no reason to like Nimue. All she’s been shown doing is whining and grumping around. Arthur makes what I call a “deal breaker” character mistake when he shows absolutely no empathy and that’s not framed as something truly horrible. The Weeping Monk is at least straightforward in his badness. We’re shown moments that are supposed to make us sympathetic to Nimue, but really it’s more her whining about how the other children are afraid of her and in a scene where we SHOULD sympathize with her, add the element that she’s too dumb to realize this dude she’s never talked to before and who’s promised to another girl is suddenly going want to step out with her? And speaking of dumb, Nimue decides to go to a heavily populated town that she just had to go on the run from about 24 hours ago? I don’t get how this show is trying to set up characters to be sympathetic.

THE CHILDREN OF GARTH GREENHAND 4/13: BORS THE BREAKER

Bors the Breaker is a legendary son of Garth Greenhand and founder of House Bulwer of Blackcrown. According to legend, he gained the strength of twenty men by drinking only bull's blood. Some tales state Bors drank so much blood he grew a pair of shiny black horns.

A gown for the Lady of House Bulwer to wear at court in Highgarden. Pre-Fall 2017 Reem Acra.

House Bulwer is noble house from The Reach sworn to the Hightower’s who are banner-men to the Tyrell’s. The seat of House Bulwer is called Blackcrown and is located to the North of Old Town on the northern coast of the Whispering Sound. House Bulwer is one of the many houses in the reach that claim to be descended from Garth Greenhand, according to legend they are the descendants of Bors the Breaker. Their sigil is a bull’s skull on a sanguine field, “bone over blood”, and their words are “Death Before Disgrace”. The current ruling lady is “Little” Alysanne Bulwer, one of Margaery Tyrell’s Ladies in waiting and a girl of seven, she inherited her title after her father Jon Bulwer died of a summer fever. The Bulwer’s and their forces have remained loyal to the Hightower’s and Tyrell’s throughout the War of Five Kings.

I Know The Feeling

God fucking damn it, this is the 4th time I'm having to write it, Tumblr is being such a bitch this week. But I love you, Theseus.

English is not my first language.

Not British, I hail from India.

It had been nine months. Nine months since Queenie went over to the Dark Side for love. Nine months of frantic searching by Tina, aided by Newt (they had finally become romantically involved). Nine months of denial by Jacob. Nine months since Leta had sacrificed herself. Nine months of wrath and depression by Theseus, whose nightmares plagued him every single night, he had been so close, he could've saved her, he could've had his fianceé with him in his office right now, smirking at him as he got ready for an interview with a candidate for Deputy Head Auror. But he had been too far away and far too slow and so he was alone.

He had loved her, despite or maybe because if her dark past. And he had lost her.

°°°

'Oh Morgana's saggy tits!' You thought most improperly but you felt it was quite appropriate considering you were facing the door to the rest of your life. Alright, maybe that was a tad dramatic but the gossip you'd heard about the strict, capable, young and handsome Head Auror was going to be one intimidating interview.

There was also the fact that you held a tiny grudge towards Theseus Scamander who everyone attracted to men had a crush on because when he was a seventh year (and a Prefect and a Seeker) had your Crup (a dog like creature resembling a Jack Russell terrier) sent back home when he found you, then a mere youngling of a first year, playing with it because only cats, toads and owls were allowed at Hogwarts. It was a barmy and most discriminating rule but no matter how much you argued against it during all your years at the magical school, it was all in vain. But at least your protesting had let you meet- never mind.

But seriously, just because he got your dog (who was now in the throes of old age) sent home was no reason to hate him. Much.

Making up your mind to have a bit of the courage Gryffindors were so praised for and to not say a single syllable about the old Crup, you knocked on the door. Hearing a deep, sultry voice say "Come in", you walked in the tidy, dark panelled office.

Your first thought when you saw Theseus Griffin Scamander (headcanon) was 'Jesus, Mary and Joseph' even though you weren't Christian. This was because the man in front of you was positively delectable-tall and fit, broad-shouldered with dark but sparkling blue eyes, curly but gelled hair in a dozen shades of brown, and with a smattering of freckles across his cheeks and nose.

Then 'Do not have an orgasm.'

Then 'NO DOG TALK'.

"(Y/N) (L/N)?" He asked with a curious look- probably because he was wondering why the odd stranger was looking at him like he had the head of a bull instead of a normal human one.

Do not talk about the Crup.

Do not have an orgasm.

No dog talk-

"You sent my Crup away."

Why am I even here if you never listen to me?

"Pardon?" He asked, bewildered and a little bemused because of your sudden blush.

Do not explain, it'll make you seem cra-

"I, er, see, when I was a 1st year and you a 7th, you sent my dog home because he wasn't allowed at Hogwarts." You bit your lip, drawing his attentive, blue gaze to your mouth.

Oh well, conscience. Appears that I'm about to break your other rule as well.

He frowned and suddenly his brow cleared. "You're the Crup firstie. Merlin, you were such a shrill, chubby thing them. You look really marvellous now." Realising what he said, he blushed the colour of his house. To cover up his blunder he said, "I tell stories about your every Christmas, you know."

"Exhilarating." You deadpanned. "Just what I've always wanted to be known as- a shrill, chubby Crup obsessed firstie."

After a bit more of stuttering and ice breakers, he got started on your file and looked impressed. "Quite qualified, O's in all subjects except an E in Potions and -" He smirked and made you go weak in the knees but you smirked yourself. "A D in Divination."

"Couldn't help it." You shrugged. "I fell asleep in every class and once dropped a Dungbomb in the old coot's tea. I'm lucky not to get a Troll."

"Well, thankfully you don't need a Divination degree in the Auror sector." He smiled and that resurrected every single almost-skeletal butterfly in your stomach.

After a bit more talk about Hogwarts and your five year long Auror career, he leaned back and started, sternly. "I want an honest answer, (Y/N). Why an Auror?"

Heck, you were hoping that he wouldn't ask that. Nevertheless, you answered instantaneously, in a dead calm voice. "Grindelwald."

His face hardened and steeled. "Elaborate."

"My partner-" Your tone made it clear what kind of partner you meant "- was brain washed and recruited into his side. Couple of months in, (preferred gender) woke up and realized (preferred gender) was too soft for it all and wanted out and-" You didn't finish but merely shook your head, trying to keep your tears at bay. "I was 20 and (preferred gender) was barely 22. I wake up everyday wanting to kill the murderer and then sleep somehow every night, regretting that he isn't dead or wishing he was." You spoke venomously.

Raising your (H/C) head to look at Theseus, you were surprised to not see any semblance of putting in his handsome features but only determination and.... understanding.

Belatedly, you remembered that his fianceé Leta Lestrange too died in Paris because of Grindelwald.

He exhaled and the expression in his blue eyes made him seem older than he was.

"I know the feeling."

Maybe that was partly why you two forged such a strong friendship. Why after 5 months of camaraderie, he asked you out. Why after four months of dating and a near death experience, he asked you to marry him.

"We're in war, (Y/N) and, and as much as I'd like to avoid another Leta and you'd like to avoid another (ex's name), the love I have for you is stronger. When I saw that spell hit you....and I realized it was a green one, I was dead sure that I'd kill myself if it turned to be what I thought and you were dead. I can't live without you and I don't want to. I know it's early...and I don't have a ring but-"

"Yes, of course. It's yes, Thes, yes! It's always going to be yes."

'And that's why-' Theseus thought as you lay next to him on your wedding night, hearing your exhausted, even breathing and smiling, 'I fell in love with (your gender).'

'And that's why-' You thought as you lay next to him on nearly every night since, hearing his shallow, tired out soft snoring and smiling, 'I love him.'
