#but i do wonder if i'm going to spend the rest of my life chasing similar places and the way i felt that summer when i was 15 🥹

[fitzrove]

Overwhelmed by nostalgia actually

[arielleslipgloss]

hii arielle! so now that is summer i would love to rest and take a long break but also keep my days productive, like having a good morning and night routine as well as doing chores and feeling motivated enough to do them, etc, but i'm literally always mophing around feeling really down. what would you recommend for that?

have a great summer!! from a pinterest girlblogger <3

Ahhh hiii love!! Tysm for asking this 💗

Summer Lifestyle

“I don’t chase, I attract. What’s mean’t for me will simply find me.” - Kendall Jenner

Routines!! Your morning and night will impact your summer A LOT. Just in general, having routines will impact your life. If you don’t have a set routine it’ll be hard to stay productive. So, make sure your routine(s) are always adjusted to your schedule. Whether that means time for chores, exercise, or your hobbies. Just try your best to fit it in. Also, try not to overpack your routines with loads of stuff. Making your routines too long could make you unmotivated throughout the day. So try to keep your routines short. That way you don’t rush everything on your to do list. Also, having a short & flexible routine will let you have more freedom throughout the day. For example, maybe you forgot to do a chore from yesterday? Well, with a flexible routine you should be able to do that chore. Without having loads of stuff to do on top of that.

2. Self care days!! Summer is the season to REST! No more stressing over exams and no more drama. It’s time to take a step back and rest. Meaning, take time to care for yourself. Do your nails, skincare, steam your face, make yummy food, watch a movie, romanticize summer, journal, read, develop new hobbies, take a everything shower, spend time in nature, etc. Whatever you can do to refresh your mind, I’d do! Even if that sometimes means rotting in bed. If you’ve been stressed out DEFINITELY take time to, rot in bed, spend time in nature, watch a bunch of movies with popcorn, etc.

3. Make a list of activities to do!! Me personally, I love making bucket lists. For example, this summer I wanted to go blueberry picking, get baptized, go golfing, make lots of flower bouquets, etc. I always like to make bucket lists for different seasons. Especially bucket lists for summer. That way I’m not bored 24/7. It’s like a fun adventure that I do every year. So, I would definitely recommend making bucket lists. It’s the perfect way to stay occupied with different activities. Or if you don’t want to make a bucket list, try new hobbies. You can simply list things you are interested in doing right in your notes app. Then do them whenever you want!!

4. Practice self love!! Doll, it’s summer! We shouldn’t be down bad crying at the gym. We got love to give ourselves!! It’s time to acknowledge how wonderful you are. 2 Timothy 1:7 says “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” We all were created beautifully and with care!! There’s no reason why we shouldn’t love ourselves.

5. Motivation!! Unfortunately we aren’t always going to feel motivated. Which is why I constantly will tell you dolls to work on having discipline. It’s something we will all struggle with time-to-time. However, we have to push through and do whatever we have to do anyways. Pushing through may even help you become motivated. But just because it’s difficult in the moment, doesn’t mean it will be difficult forever. So, keep a positive mindset and keep going!! You got this doll! 💗

6. Get off your phone and go in nature!! I know, I know you dolls probably don’t like to hear it, but seriously. We spend so much time on our phones. Our dopamine levels are probably through the roof. So, take time to slow down and go out in nature. Maybe all you do is run away from bugs, people watch, read a book, or pick dandelions. However you spend time in nature, make sure you actually breathe. Take time to look around. Romanticize those moments that you run away from bugs or read a book.

“You can help as many people as you want but you also have to remember to check in on yourself.” - Kendall Jenner

Love you dolls!! Remember to enjoy all moments in your life 💗

Xoxo, Arielle 💋🎀

iwtv fanfic friday: random fics from my bookmarks with less than ~200 kudos

wanted to make sure the stuff i was linking wasn't stuff everyone's read so i tried to go for the less popular works in my bookmarks

filthy with a twisted tongue by @shineforthee. 4k

Reach out to touch a dead guy’s face one time and he takes off. It’s not like it’s thrusted Daniel into a bottomless pit of despair and psychosis or anything, so who cares? (Nobody, that’s who. Not a damn soul even knows he’s here.) The smell of stale sweat and hot sugar clings in the air. A stained piece of flannel covers the window but light trickles in through the threadbare fabric, so it must be daytime. He tries to remember if it was daytime last time he looked, but it wouldn’t do anything to give him a sense of how many days he’s been here anyway.

"Hey, I'm a journalist," Daniel protests. "I follow the story, and you just tried to set a guy's head on fire. That's front-page news." "Chasing stories," Alice says in an unimpressed, withering tone. "You're a romantic, then. That's worse, you know."

relentless, unbearable by eggalbumin aka @pollyclonolly. 2k

Louis taps his arm. He looks lovely tonight, and his eyes are brilliant under the bar’s light. He’s as beautiful as he is in the memory that exists in Daniel’s head, of the first time they met at Mary’s. The glimmer in his eyes, the smoke curling in tendrils around his lips, the way he smiled as he said, I did a terrible thing, once. He smiles, and it’s lined with sweetness. “You bored?” “An unreasonable amount,” Armand says. He’s not, and he knows he’s not. Louis knows, too. He could spend every day for the rest of his never-ending life chasing the shape of Daniel’s shadow and it wouldn’t bore him. He drinks whatever is left in his glass and it tastes like chalk in his mouth. Sometimes, he thinks he’ll always be trying to chase down the taste of Daniel’s blood in his throat, with Louis and alcohol and prey, and it will still find a way to linger on his tongue for as long as he lives. “Weddings are long, dull affairs. I don’t see the appeal.” (It’s 1982. Daniel’s wedding is a pleasant, lively affair.)

Paul de Pointe du Lac was dead, to begin with. This was to be distinctly understood.

the whole world was ready to return by exastris_scientia aka @keepoffthetardis . 2k

There he was. Standing just outside the halo of light given off by a streetlight. His face was shadowed, but even from the distance I was at, I could see how sunken his eyes were, how tired. And how blue they glowed. Like church windows, Grace had once said. Burning like two cold fires in the night. “Been a while,” was all Daniel said when he saw me. Louis and Daniel revisit the ethics of murder. In spite of it all, they also have a little fun with it.

rocket man by quentsy. 5k, M

It was a bad idea, but that was the story of his life, yeah? Bad decision after bad decision, the longest love affair of his life. If the first was racing, and the second was heroin, then here was the third: Armand and all the scraps he tossed Daniel’s way, just enough to keep the hunger at bay.

"You're soft," Jonah whispers. He touches Louis's jaw. There he goes still smiling, like it's a revelation, like he oughta be in wonderment about it all. "You don't seem like it but you soft, Louis." Louis stares up at him. There's the anger, whipping at his heart and making it race like a horse on a track, but beyond that is something else, too. Something that makes him almost tremble under Jonah's open smile. For the briefest of moments, Louis allows himself to believe that softness is a pure good, through and through. -- a few of Louis's core memories

OPLA! Roronoa Zoro Drabbles- how you met + how you joined the crew

I am drunk off this man right now. If he'd let me, I'd love to get to know him over a bottle of wine and a sirloin steak. Even though he's more of a booze man ofc. Below are some stray thoughts I have about him since I am slightly obsessed lol. I hope y'all enjoy my romantic/self-indulgent drabbles. One more thing- all of these HCs will surround an MC who identifies as Female.

Edit: hahaha umm.. happy late borth Zoro. Sorry for being late lol

I don't think you'd meet Zorro when he was young. Rather, you'd be on an otherwise unremarkable island or boat somewhere on the east blue, make your way to the grand line (ya fucking idiot). For some reason, to him anyway, you'd be the most remarkable thing about that rest stop. That one girl in that one bar he had a conversation with.

Whenever he thinks back on you, your smile would always be the first thing that comes to mind. Then your laugh. And then that side-eye glance you'd send his way when you ask him what he's thinking about. Usually after a contemplative sip of whatever you were indulging yourself on.

There are a lot of things that Zoro enjoys in life, but as much as he is the strong and silent type of guy, I think he enjoys a worthwhile conversation far more. So long as it means something to either of you. He hates pointless banter if there's nothing backing it.

When you see Zoro again, it's on the mainland shortly after the beginning of the time skip (haha spoilers 'LA watchers. We're in for a two-year time skip at some point in the series). You two meet up on land, just a skip away from where you two were gonna break away to your respective destinations. Completely on accident btw

Yall decide to spend the night together. Nothing zesty happens, Only wholesome cuddling and a long conversation that drifts into the early hours of the morning.

Yall wakes up at noon. He lets it slip that he's gonna train for a bit before meeting up with some friends at a very remote port god knows where, and you promise yourself two things.

You're not gonna drag this man down

You're gonna be one hell of a worthwhile pirate

So when y'all break away, promising each other that this definitely isn't gonna be the last time y'all meet, you decide to become a pro marksman. The gun kind, not the slingshot kind (don't wanna come after Ussop's brand lol)

So you do that for a year and a half before you make your way to the meet-up spot. You get there a day early, and during breakfast, you see Zoro and this blond bitch running somewhere. Naturally, you dropped everything (literally dropped your food back on the table) and jumped from the balcony to chase these mother fuckers to the docks where (spoilers) the sunny was parked.

It isnt until Zoro's halfway up the ship that you yell his name. He turns to see you, and it's like that night from a year ago all over again. He's got half a mind to jump down to you, but Luffy looks over and asks what's going on.

Everyone's teasing Zoro's ass bc of "the side piece he's picked up"

Ussop and Choper are asking him what your name is and where he found you

Sanji is on you immediately

Nami is asking for a fee to get on the ship

Franky is wondering why you built differently compared to every other girl he's seen (I like to make my OP OC's anything but Oda's depiction of the fem. figure. Mostly cubby and/or built. Sometimes both.)

Robin is wondering what's in your backpack since you look well packed (It's books. Fuck you I'm making physical fanfiction canon to one piece)

Zoro, meanwhile, is (mostly) worried about Luffy since he's captain.

Luffy looks you up and down, asks what you can do, and you say you're an alright marksman. Ussop is up and arms at this and Luffy backs him up saying that yall already have a marksman (and that you're a girl anyway so that isn't even the right term)

You say that you're knowledgeable in medicine and you're done your fair share of odd jobs since you've picked up a few things as a barmaid.

Luffy ponders this, countering that they already have a doctor but could always use the support when needed. He looks back to the crew and asks them what they think as well, wich surprises you a little. Nami and Robin would appreciate another afab person on the crew but supplies are tight as is, Franky thinks you're cool, same for Chopper. Sanji comments on supplies as well but he wouldn't mind if another girl is on board. Ussop is a little threatened by your presence and is against your addition entirely.

Zoro almost yells at him but before he starts, you get on your knees and properly ask him, along with the rest of the crew to stay. Luffy asks you why, and you say that you want to live. Live life with people you know and do it to the fullest. You then look back to Ussop, who is staring you down. "I didn't come to replace you. I came to follow, and hopefully live up to the people he adores," You glance over to Zoro, who is surprised you admitted that in front of his (totally not) family. "He holds you all to such a high standard. I wanna be a part of that."

Ussop just tells you to stand up and looks at Luffy. Luffy lets you on board, with the condition that you show off your skills. You do so.

Zorro helps you on and holds your hand as y'all are leaving port.

●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・

Austin and Y/N's legs were tangled together on the couch while they read their respective books; Austin drew circles on her knee with his fingers and Y/N fiddled with the creases on his pants. Y/N had never felt so relaxed in the company of someone else. The sunlight was streaming into the apartment and ricocheted off Austins honey spun locks. She hadn't flipped a page in ages. She couldn't take her eyes off him. It almost felt criminal to do so. He was so beautiful it seemed as though his face and body had been tirelessly sculpted by the gods themselves. Each dip and groove dealt with careful precision and the eye of a master. She didn't want to take her eyes off him.

Austin pulled his eyes away from the book he was pretending to be engrossed in. He had also been eyeing Y/N's small hands and supple legs. He felt like he needed to be touching her at all times. He had this suspicion that as soon as he let go of her she would disappear and he would be alone again. He didn't think he could go back to a life without her laugh, the crinkles around her eyes when she smiled, or her obsession with tea and all of its various flavors. He wanted to hold her. He wanted her curves under his hands and his head in her hair.

She wanted to hug him. She wanted her hands around him and her head around his neck. She put her book down in frustration because of her lack of ability to figure out how to smoothly ask of they could lay together.

Austin gathered his strength and spoke.

"Hey, uh it's a little chilly don't ya think?" He was hoping to lead this conversation in a certain direction.

Y/N's heart spasmed. The opportunity she needed had presented itself on a silver platter and she intended to take advantage of it.

"Y-yeah it is. Do you need a blanket or something?" Her voice was soft and breathy as she spoke and Austin could've jumped her right then and there.

"Nah I don't want you to get up over that, why don't we... why don't we just hug? I'm sure that'd keep us warm." His boyish grin and tilted head did wonders for Y/Ns heart.

"Yeah sure, let me just put my tea down." She couldn't contain the warmth that spread across her cheeks as she leaned over Austin to put her mug on the coffee table. When she turned back around to face him, she found his book on the table and his arms outstretched to invite her into his chest and neck. She slipped her arms under and around his chest while resting her forehead against his neck. The soft patter of his heart sped up the longer she held him. Austin was anything but relaxed. His arms wrapped around her should have done wonders to calm him down but combined with the fact that her hip was resting on a compromising part of his pelvis and her soft exhales landing directly in his neck did the exact opposite.

He slowly brought his hands up and around her waist with his palms stretched out over her back. His fingers traced the valleys of her shoulder blades and the dips of her spine. He felt her relax further into his chest as he tightened his arms further around her waist.

"Thank you for trusting me. I know that talking about past boyfriends mustn't have been easy, but I'm happy you felt like you could trust me." He whispered the words into her ear and kissed her forehead when he finished.

She picked up her head from his chest to look at his azure eyes, "Thank you for listening Austin. It's weird, but for some reason, I don't feel comfortable talking about it to anyone else. I guess you just make me feel more... safe? Yeah, safe is the right word." The blissed-out look on her face and her radiant eyes did wonders for Austin's heart.

She wanted to kiss him. She hadn't wanted to kiss anyone in so long but she wanted to kiss him. The feeling came over her like a tidal wave and suddenly all she could think of was the roughness of his hands on her arms and back and the pink lips that she was sure were just as velvety as they looked.

Austin saw her gaze shift lower on his face and knew that she was feeling the same things he was.

"Do it Y/N. Whatever you are thinking of doing do it." Austin was barely holding on to his sanity. His palms burned where they brushed over skin reassuringly.

Y/N couldn't breathe. Austin would need to help her to. She brought her face right over his and hovered over him. His gaze searched hers and kept looking in between both her eyes. She leaned in slowly and Austin couldn't breathe anymore either.

His lips were soft. So soft Y/N felt like she was kissing a marshmallow. He was sweet like a marshmallow too. The hand that previously rested on her back had moved up to cup her jaw in its palm and tangled fingers through her hair. Austin's breathy moan awakened feelings in Y/N she had never felt before. The beats of her heart echoed in her head when Austin licked the seam of her lips to ask for entry into her mouth. She parted them slightly and Austin probed her mouth questioningly. She opened her mouth further to grant him access and suddenly Austin was everywhere all at once. His hands were in her hair and on her waist, his legs caged hers in between his calves and thighs, and his chest and shoulders seemed to encase her in an embrace so warm she felt like she could die at that moment and have absolutely no regrets.

Austin's mouth and tongue kissed her with abandon. He had waited for what felt like an eternity to kiss her. He had felt his hands shake with the need to hold her over the months they had known each other, and now that he had her placed so perfectly in his arms and letting breathy moans and whimpers leave her lips, he felt so full. More full than he had ever felt in a relationship before.

Austin gave her one last soft, open-mouthed kiss, and drew himself off at her moan. She opened her eyes slowly and licked her swollen lips while she stared at him. Austin's hand crept lower to her round ass and he squeezed lightly. She whimpered softly and stifled her head in his neck.

(sappy/steamy sex starts here mdni)

"No one ever kissed me like that before." She brought her hand up and absentmindedly touched her lips and a small smile crept onto her face. Austin wanted to kiss them again. Austin lifted one hand from her waist and brought it up to hold her face while he whispered in her ear.

" I can do it again if ya want baby girl." Her answering whimper and shift of her hips rubbed against Austin's growing erection. A groan escaped his lips and he let his head fall over the side of the couch.

"You're gonna have to stop moving baby girl or else I might do something we are both gonna regret." His voice was strained and sounded like he was out of breath. Y/N tensed in his arms before eventually relaxing again. She pushed herself off his chest and put her mouth near his ear and whispered, "what if I want you to."

" Jesus baby girl," Austin took a deep breath to steady his words before he continued, "Tell me exactly what you want me to do." he hauled himself from laying down on the couch to sitting upright with Y/N in his lap and her knees settled right outside of his legs.

"I won't do anything until you tell me exactly what it is you want."

She wanted him so bad. Y/N was ready to throw all her morals out of the window when it came to Austin.

" I wa- I want you to t-touch me," she gripped his wrist in between her palm and brought it under her skirt; she was feeling bold all of a sudden, "I want you to touch me right h-here." Austin's hand was fully rested on her clothed pussy. He groaned when he felt the way her slick had wet her lace-lined panties.

"Say less baby girl."He ran his fingers up and down her clothed pussy and Y/N whined when the rough fabric of her panties moved over her clit. His large fingers applied the perfect amount of pressure on her most sensitive parts and her subsequent groans and pleas grew louder the more Austin rubbed. Y/N's head lolled back as she placed her hand on his shoulder to ground herself

Austin needed to feel her skin. He wanted his skin on hers. He wanted to know how her slick felt in between his fingers.

"Can I take off your panties beautiful? You're so wet I can practically taste it." Y/N panted at the question.

"Yes, please. I want you to touch me. Please Austin take them off."

"I don't think I'll ever be able to stop touching you at this rate. Your smell is addicting." He nestled his nose behind her nose as he spoke and took in her scent. She smelled like lavender and coconut. A heady blend that left Austin's senses with much to be desired.

Her head had come to rest on his shoulder. He hooked his fingers under her panties and dragged them down her legs slowly while he used his other hand to rub circles on the seam of her spine. When her panties were off, he pushed his fingers in between her slick folds and Y/N keened at the new sensation. Austins answering groan was loud and reverberated against where both of their chests were pressed together.

"Your intoxicating you know that? I could spend the rest of my life with my hands all over you and it would always never be enough. I dream of you baby girl, did you know that? Every time my head hits the pillow you occupy every nook and cranny of my brain. Your smile, your laugh, your smell, " he licked her neck and circled the rim of her entrance as he spoke. " I love how your hips sway when you walk, the way your dainty blouses and tops hug your boobs, and how those skirts you wear barely cover your ass over the tights you love to wear." His other hand crept up under her turtle neck and grazed the skin underneath.

“Aaah” Y/N mo

aned as Austin spoke. The brush of his thumb against her clit and the index finger teasing her entrance did wonders for the growing feeling in her stomach. 

“Do you like it, baby girl? Do you like the way my hands feel against your pussy?”

Y/N nodded frantically as more obscene noises fell from her lips. She had never felt this way before. Never in her life had a man been so gentle and rough at the same time. 

“Can I put my finger in your tight pussy baby? I can make you feel so good if you’ll let me.”

Y/N nodded her head frantically. She couldn't utter a single word let alone a full scentence to answer him. The feeling of the tip of his finger crowning her entrance sent her into a frenzy. 

“Your so tight baby girl, I'm gonna need ya to relax if I'm ever gonna get my finger inside of you darlin’.” Y/N took in a deep breath before relaxing her muscles to allow Austin entrance into her.

“Just like that baby girl, you are doing so well. You're so tight I know your gonna squeeze

my cock in the best way.” Austin groaned as he dipped his finger deeper into her. 

Y/N’s vision was becoming distorted. She couldn't tell up from down nor where her body ended and Austins began. His fingers worked deeper into her until they found the spot that made her hips jump.

“Ah, Aus-Austin right there. it -It feels so good there. Unh!” Her breathing quickened and her hips started grinding over Austin's palm. He was impossibly hard in his pants and he would have given anything to have his cock replace his finger. 

“That’s it, baby girl, you're close huh? I can feel it. You're clenching around my fingers so well.”

Her head lolled back into his neck as the heat began to pool in her stomach. 

“Imagine what it would feel like if my cock was inside of you? I could stretch you so much better with it. I could hit that special spot over and over again until you came just from that.”

Y/N saw black spots in her vision as she called out for Austin.

“Austin I feel anh! I feel weird.” She looked into his eyes as tears began to crest in her eyes. 

“I know baby girl you're about to cum. Don’t stop it just let it wash over you.” His fingers were working the spongy spot within her and her clit all at once and Y/N felt like she might cease to exist.  

Her whimpers and moans grew and grew until she felt the wave crash over her. It was wave after wave of pleasure each one more powerful and all-consuming than the last. She spasmed in Austin's lap as she came down from her high with his arms wrapped tightly around her her head tucked into his neck.

When she eventually came to, she looks down and saw Austin's sizeable erection straining against his pants. Y/N felt her cheeks warm as she shifted her eyes away and back up to his face. 

“Um, do you- do you want me to take care of that?”

Austin’s boisterous laugh startled her; but after she got over her confusion, she laughed with him.

“I’m alright baby girl,” he hugged her tighter to reiterate his point, “Tonight was all about you. I wanted to make you feel good I can wait until next time. Then I'll have all the time in the world to consume you.” He pulled her in for a passionate kiss and Y/N could practically taste the promise on his tongue.

I have never been so embarrassed writing anything in my entire life. I quite literally had to write this whilst under the covers of my bed because I could not stomach doing it while sitting at my desk. Don't @ me if the positions they are in don't make any sense I have no one to test them out on haha. I am most certainly going to hell for this so I hope it was worth it lol. I hope you enjoyed it.

[cult-of-the-eye]

👀

Fandom mix up

Which avatars do you think the pjo characters would be? Which gods would the tma characters be the children/kin of?

JSHSHAJJANANAKAKAK HERE WE GO

Eye, web, lonely, dark, extinction, buried, slaughter, flesh, spiral, hunt, stranger, end, vast, corruption

Percy Jackson

His whole thing is excess loyalty right? And then you got dark Percy from house of Hades (hoh) and everything so we've definitely got a lot to go on

Hmm this one's a bit difficult cause he doesn't fit neatly into any of them I think

My first thought was the vast cause of the ocean and like by the end of hoo, he is so powerful that its almost unfathomable like the ocean and the vast, to the point where even he only just understands the extent of his power, like what happened in hoh

The excess loyalty could fit into that as well cause loyalty is something he hedges all his bets on, it's the one sort of indefinitely huge thing that rules his way of looking at things - like the ocean

But I'm not sure, if anyone has any better ideas please say so

Annabeth Chase

Girl's hubristic

I guess my first thought would be the web cause obviously she's strategic, she makes plans, she manipulates

But she is terrified of spiders so that wouldn't quite work

I'm not sure where hubris would fit in

I guess it could be the eye, cause with it you're desperate to gain all the knowledge, witness and understand EVERYTHING and therefore would be threatened if that ever failed - if you didnt know everything or if someone didn't believe in your all-knowingness

Which is also a huge part of her character - being underestimated because of the way she looks and speaks and how she both uses that to her advantage and hates the way it happens

I think that works quite well and I think unfortunately she'd be a fantastic Archivist

Grover

Is wonderful and I love him but I guess he'd be the extinction

Listen his whole thing about getting demigods safely to camp? How he's there when they think their world is about to end? When their world literally ends if he doesn't get them there safely? How he has to go through this over and over again, experiencing mini extinction level events every single year

And then you've got the whole pan thinks humans are destroying the world thing and how maybe he'd destroy humans to keep the world safe (I can't really remember that storyline and may have just imagined it so I'm not sure where it would fit exactly lol)

Jason

Jason's the stranger I think

He doesn't know who he is when he's first introduced, he has to spend a couple books remembering who he is and then he struggles with his identity as a son of Jupiter, praetor, leader etc

I think he's been forced to play a role that wasn't him and the essence of the stranger is just that - being forced to reckon with someone who you might've recognised once but certainly don't anymore

Piper

She is immediately web

Her whole thing is manipulation with her charmspeak, forcing people to do her bidding

A huge part of the web is loss of free will and that's exactly her thing - creating a situation in which a person has no choice but to act the way she wants them to

Nico

Boy oh boy

I want to say the end but now I think about it maybe the lonely

He had his sister ripped away from him, the only other person who's experienced the same insane things that he has, he's always seen himself as the lone wolf, different from the rest, the only gay one, the unrequited crush on Percy and how he admitted it to someone who didn't understand, the fact that he was trapped in the underworld alone for so long in that vase or whatever

I feel like at some point he accepted his life of solitude and the fact that no one would miss him or even try to understand or choose him first which definitely encapsulates the lonely

Reyna

The hunt I guess

She's constantly hunting for something more - like validation as the praetor, from Jason, revenge from her tragic backstory, she's constantly striving to be better and work harder

plus she actually joins the hunters of Artemis so that works itself out

Hazel

Im gonna say maybe the corruption

Cause her whole deal with hecate and her getting to grips with the daughter of death god is giving there is something deeply intrinsically wrong with me but I will embrace it and feed it and join the wondrous thrumming in my veins kinda vibes, like finding a family and comfort in the wrongness and both feeding it and feeding off of it

Frank

Gonna be honest with you, can't really remember his character

In my defence I read these books years ago

Oh wait he's the son of Ares who has the wood that he needs to keep safe cause if it burns down then he dies right

Ok well that's giving the end - once that flame touches the wood he's gone, he's living in fear of the one event that will end him, the end that could slowly creep up on him or be a sudden death

Leo

Hot stuff

Oh yeah this has got to be the desolation/extinction right

With his whole burning down his mum's factory and then going from orphanage to orphanage or something

Like I feel like he's constantly ending things just so he can be the one to leave first so he doesn't get abandoned, he's got his barrier up and he's never pulling it down

I'm not sure about this one actually maybe I just thought FIRE and therefore desolation

Anyway you guys can fight me in the tags or whatever I'm tired and want to sleep

You're the New Girl headcanon

A/N: This goes from 86' all to the next generation

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

- Everyone was informed the of the new lieutenant joining

- No one knew it was going to be another female, they kept that on the down low

- Those in this line of work barely got used to Charlie being around, add another female (chaos)

- No one was ready for your first day and training, they had no idea you'd be joining

"Time to turn 'em and burn 'em, right, Viper?" You salute him before ditching him

"That damn, lieutenant."

- Everyone was so lost when you beat everyone and landed

- Wolfman fell right then and there, holding his heart (Hollywood smacked him to get him to stop)

- Sundown, Merlin, and Cougar jaws dropped, could not believe you beat their teacher

- Goose and Maverick were lost as shit but excited because that meant decent competition (other than Iceman and Slider)

- Chipper knew he wanted to buy you a drink and congratulate you

- Iceman was upset and Slider was wondering if you had a sibling

- Charlie smirks, already knowing you were going to spin in circles around everyone

- No one else could even get close to you

- You did not get involved in the drama Charlie got herself involved in but offered advice if she needed it

- Viper still wanted to kick you out on occasion but you got on his good side, and he enjoyed your young, chaotic mind

- The rest of the guys enjoyed the energy you brought to the table

- Your favorites were Goose and Wolfman, you had a hard time dealing with Cougar, Sundown, and Chipper (annoying little shits, they're like annoying little brothers [you never asked for 'em but you got 'em])

- You got closer to Maverick and Iceman when Goose died, staying by their side, going through life together

- Then came the younger generation

- They thought you were badass

- Cyclone became a thorn in your side and vice versa for him

- Hondo loved you

- The newer generation after that came into play and you lost it when you heard about Mav's new mission (you weren't asked to be a part of this one)

- But when Mav called and Ice texted you, begging you to help him; you came

- You arrived fashionably late (wanting them to see what kind of speed they'd need)

You take off your helmet and walk in, "hey, kids." You nod to your friend, "Mav."

"Who are you?"

You narrow your eyes to the tanned, cocky, blonde (Mav knows this is going to be trouble). "Your worst nightmare, any who. Later, Mav."

"What's chasing you off so soon?"

"I have to leave before I get a headache."

"Angel!"

Your friend chuckles.

You purse your lips. "And there's my headache."

Some of the students snicker and as soon as the door opens, they're quiet.

He narrows his eyes, "I need to see you in my office."

You smile, "of course. Where else would I spend my day?"

- Cyclone tried to keep you away from the mission even though he knew it was a long shot

- And when no one was progressing the way, they needed to, you helped Mav come up with an idea

- He told you he thought he was making progress with Rooster but that didn't get far

You stand in the doorway, turning to smile at Mav. "You ready?"

"We're really doing this?"

"I can't get in too much trouble because I wasn't called in for this but if you need a little competition. I'm in."

He chuckles, "as if you could beat me."

"They don't call me Angel for nothing."

- You planes come up on the radar, impressing everyone when you finish in time

- You and your husband help around the Kazansky household, doing whatever you can to make things easier

- The kids go on their mission

- Mav gets an earful from you along with Rooster and Hangman

- Cyclone still doesn't like you but he's learned to tolerate you

- You and Mav are pulled over to the piano to sing along with the kids

- Then Mav and Penny's marriage came and went

- You were left to deal with them while he was on honeymoon, but it was good

- They finally learned why you were the best of the best (maybe better than Mav)

130 Reasons Why I'm Fairy Trash

💜 Lavender Train Arc

(July 2016 - Ongoing)

"Cripes, it's been years. Centuries? I dunno; I've been high for most of it... But it's easy. When I'm on peppermint, I can forget about what's bothering me. S-see, the thing is, I just can't stop thinking about Foop and Anti-Goldie... "I don't wanna make them do anything they don't want to. That's not fair to them. I wouldn't want Foop to do anything like that to my life if I had to be the one to copy him, so why should I be controlling his life like this? It should be his choice, you know? He sh-shouldn't have to be forced if he doesn't want to..."

- Drama, Romance, Angst, & Fluff

- Prompts related to the celebrity kids and friends: Poof, Foop, Goldie, Anti-Marigold, Sammy, Finley, Hiccup (Foop's alt personality), and Cavatina (Sanderson's son)

Summary

Spellementary School. Alberich Middle. Carl Poofypants High. Welcome to the best years of the rest of your life. Poof is no stranger to being strong or popular, but discovering he's a gyne - a "queen bee" among fairies - comes with its own challenges. That whole "fighting for dominance" and "driven to kill each other" thing certainly add stress that'll never go away... even if he wasn't incredibly anxious about his on-and-off poly girlfriend (Goldie) or H.P.'s eternal push to hire him at Pixies Inc. Foop's spent his life fighting for every scrap of respect his Fairy classmates see fit to give him. Exhausted by the complex dance of supporting his mother through a war, juggling his mistress with his actual betrothed, and struggling to restrain an alternate personality growing ever more protective and bitter, you have to wonder... is chasing universal domination even worth it anymore?

[zisurru]

ok mixed feelings on it but i'd say not bad. my thots:

things i disliked:

tonally the burning of the theater feels very silly between the sprightly jazz and the dialogue with santiago. this seems like a weird place for humor & i would have preferred more gravity

i agree w people saying some of the character motivations don't make sense. i don't buy lestat just letting armand and louis float off together, no complaints. i REALLY don't buy louis leaving daniel alone with armand

also agree w complaints about it feeling rushed - it was ok for me up until loumand's fight and then i was like "yeah this needed to be two episodes"

the louis & lestat reunion doesn't quite work for me. i'm still wondering how lestat ended up at the trial if he presumably didn't want to be there. it also feels to me like this scene is framing their relationship as much more equitable than it really was? why the focus on how louis may have harmed the man who beat him almost to death? when i watched season 1 i felt like the dv might not mesh with what they want to do with the two of them in future seasons and i'm still feeling that

given that daniel’s turning was most likely not consensual, it’s starting to feel like rape is being added to pretty much every major story beat in the adaptation. it’s honestly feeling gratuitous to me at this point without more thematic space being given to the topic of sexual violence itself?

things i liked:

louis's decision to stay with armand and the way that it's tangled up with his desire to hurt lestat + the acknowledgement that no, armand can never make it up to him, and yes, he is going to spend the rest of his life trying. the grief and guilt baked into their relationship along with the love

oh my goodness jacob and assad are both fantastic in their last scene together! i liked the writing here too. i really liked armand chasing after louis with a rehearsed-sounding litany of excuses - showing that he's still the kind of selfish that would lead him to do this shit to begin with

one thing i really didn't want to see was a hierarchy of monstrosity where either armand or lestat were presented as the real "big bad" contrasted against the other so i'm glad they didn't do it. and i think louis's character development works better this way - he realizes that both these men have wronged him in unforgivable ways and that his identity has been heavily tied up in others. he winds up alone, but free. "i'm companion enough for myself now" good for him!!!!!

i love the idea of an old man vampire who’s not like an evil emperor or some kind of cryptkeeper. an old man vamp who just gets to be a badass like the others? i gotta hand it to them that is really cool

for pride and justice: 3, 4, 16, 19

thank you!! yay i get to talk about Them <3

3. What were their first impressions of each other? How does that compare to their impressions of each other now?

Justice's first impression of Pride was "oh no a demon is trying to get through the gates, I have to stop him!" and Pride's first impression of Justice was "oh fuck i'm getting chased by an angel that's not good!" So. They had an interesting meet-cute.

They go from that to "annoyed but stuck together because they're on the run" to "begrudging respect that I will not admit is care" on Pride's end and "genuine desire to understand" on Justice's end, all the way to "gay love ride or die forever."

4. How would they describe each other if asked? Physically? In personality?

Pride, about Justice: "Tall. Obnoxiously tall. Long hair. And the rest of him is like... cherub-face. Not, like, baby face, but you know. Round. Soft. The smiley approachable type. Absolutely no edge, except when he's swinging the sword around. And he does it in the living room, which is probably the worst idea he's had since chasing me down to Earth. Although I guess I get a bit of a show, with the whole swordsman's body thing, so it's not totally annoying. And he's got freckles everywhere...

Anyway. Uh, he's nice! Kind of too nice, if you ask me. He doesn't know when to quit it with that shit, you let him do one nice thing and it's like he can't stop. I can't even count how many times we've had to stop in the middle of the street to let him fix some rando's problem. Even the other angels got sick of him, which... would be funnier if it wasn't my fault, I guess. Don't tell him I said that.

Justice tries way too hard. He can't stop trying too hard. It's kinda scary? I don't really give a shit if he wants to spend all his free time playing guardian angel, but you start to feel bad for the guy. It's like he can't turn off the little voice that tells him Big G is gonna be soooo mad if he doesn't meet his Virtue Quota. It makes being a demon seem like the better option.

I don't know. He needs to get a little more selfish. Prideful, even. Don't tell him I said that either."

Justice, about Pride: "Pride is colorful, in language and mannerisms. He always wears the flashiest thing he can find, I honestly can't tell if he's going to the store or going to a bar with his friends most days. It's... a lot, but also wonderful in it's own way. I don't think there are a lot of people who are even half that confident about their style as he is. I like his piercings, too, they really suit him. And the goatee, messy hair—he's very rough around the edges, and I think it's on purpose that he looks the part.

I wish we got along better, honestly. I think—I know he's been hurt a lot in his life, so I don't blame him for being distant with me. We're from completely opposite worlds, after all. I just hope he isn't so driven by his pain that he thinks he can't heal from it.

Pride is so angry, and it really breaks my heart sometimes. I don't want to say that to him, because I know he'll take it the wrong way, but it's just how I feel. It's awful that he's had to go through so much alone. He doesn't ask for help because he thinks can't trust anybody but himself.

I wish he would trust me. Again, I don't know how to say that without coming off like I pity him. I just want him to be okay. I'm not sure if he knows I can feel his pain, but... I want to help make it stop."

16. Is one of them keeping secrets from the other? Why? How would they react if the secret was revealed?

For a long time, Pride was keeping the secret that he'd literally die if his demon contract couldn't be fulfilled. At first, it was because he didn't want an angel to know his one fatal weakness, but the longer it went the more he just... didn't want to think about it. "I will ignore the problem and then it'll go away," type. He didn't want to ruin this perfect never-before-experienced love by reminding himself and admitting to Justice how much danger he's truly in. He eventually reveals it himself, but if it had been discovered early he would have panicked and tried to flee the situation (he would fail)

Justice's secret is that he used to be very emo teenager (or the angel equivalent of a teenager anyway). He's keeping this secret because it's so so embarrassing. When Kindness reveals this secret to Pride behind his back the first thing he does is crumble into a pile of dust.

19. Are they satisfied with their relationship? Do they wish they were closer/more distant?

For a long time, Pride fought the idea that he even wanted to be friends with Justice. He didn't want to admit he wanted an angel to like him, it felt like debasing himself. At the same time, he had so many feelings about Justice that would not let him be normal. When they get together, the only thing Pride wants is for them to be physically attached at the hip so he can have attention whenever he wants.

Justice was far more able to accept how he felt about Pride, but kept it to himself because he thought Pride wouldn't want him that way. He did secretly yearn for a deeper friendship, if nothing else, because he could tell there was more to Pride than what he saw on the surface. When it turns out Pride wants him back, he is more than happy to spend every day of the rest of his life at his side. So they're both pretty satisfied with that!

Hangster with an accidental (impulsive) proposal

Hangster + Accidental/impulsive proposal To read listening: No Children - The Mountain Goats (feeling cheeky today, HAHA anyway HAPPY VALENTINES! 💖💖💖)

I hope that our few remaining friends

Give up on trying to save us

I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot

To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

"You—!" For it being a single, simple, one syllable word, it's thrown around almost like an insult, slipping past Bradley's lips as his eyes see red as he stomps towards his boyfriend. The same way Jake looks red in the face and the two of them stand at this weird Mexican standoff around the pool table while their friends watch a bit astonished in place.

Hangman looks like a kid caught with the proverbial hand in the cookie jar, even though both of his hands are wrapped around the pool cue and he seemingly needs a moment to regroup and slip back into his usual coolness, blinking ever so slowly and then letting that southern drawl drip into his tongue as one eyebrow lifted in curiosity. "Yes darlin' ?"

Past the last year things had shifted between them well enough that their friends didn't seem too worried about Rooster vaulting over the table to punch Hangman's lights in but those present still seemed startled enough. To Bradley none of that mattered now, vision tunneled on the blond man ahead. "What did you tell Ice!"

He accuses, in lieu of a very angry question and watches the realization lightbulb go off behind Jake's eyes a second before the man is dropping the pool cue and making a run for the Hard Deck's door without saying a word. It's a good thing that it's a Tuesday afternoon and there isn't really much going on the bar around them because at least they had minimal witnesses to the stupid scene. "Oh no you won't!"

Rooster hisses, scrambling right after the other pilot. The chase lasts entirely just a few seconds as he manages to close in on Jake as he reaches the door, practically tackling the man by the waist and sending the two of them rolling into the Hard Deck's porch, down the front steps and into the sand. He has Hangman's body pressed down, arms wrapped around his waist, for a second his own head is spinning. Of course, at least half of the heat he'd felt so far dissipates as soon as Bradley hears Jake laughing against his shoulder, practically giggling.

"You're so fucking impossible." Bradley groans against the man's ear, holding him tight in place, maybe squeezing his hands a little too tightly against his waist – not even bothered with the fact he knew all of the Hard Deck was probably piled to watch them. Rooster usually wasn't one to cause a scene but for once, it'd been warranted.

"I'm sorry!" Jake laughs more, broadly, head thrown back and down into the sand, hand coming up to cover his eyes. Bradley could see pink crawling up his neck and ears, flushed with the effort of laughing and with the effect of being caught on doing something stupid. "It was too good for me not to share! Come on!"

The humiliation of being exposed over doing something stupid he'd blamed on Maverick – the stupid thing in question being the bite he'd taken out of a fake wax apple about ten years ago and placing it back on the fruit bowl, to which Iceman had wondered for years who'd done it – suddenly passing as he watched Jake laugh away in the sand, under the clear blue California skies. With a defeated sigh, all Rooster could do was rest his forehead in the middle of the other man's chest, groaning; and despite the vague shame still burning in the back of his mind, his chest blooms with so much warmth and love for the idiot laughing under him. "You're so lucky I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

The words come out unnoticed, as easy as breathing, so easy in fact, Bradley doesn't notice them. But Jake does. And stops laughing, hand moving away to stare down at him – and only then Bradley realizes what he's said. "...do you?"

Rooster shifts, chin resting up so they can look back at each other. This wasn't how he'd pictured it going, alright, but there's no other moment he thinks would've been more perfect than this one. No other moment that his heart felt more full and more sure than this one.

"Yeah... yeah I do... so... marry me?"

I am drowning

There is no sign of land

You are coming down with me

Hand in unlovable hand

(I'm still taking writing prompts for my warmups!)

[thenopequeen]

As the dragon descended on the village, one woman left the fleeing crowd and stepped out to meet it. No armor, no weapon, no noble steed; those were for one far above her station. And as she climbed a little outcropping of rock by the road, massive wings darkened the sky above her, and she called out a cheerful greeting

"Hello there!"

The ground shook as the four scaly limbs set down, and the huge wings folded

"And what trick is this that you try to defend yourself with now, little mortal?"

"No trick, I wouldn't even know where to start tricking a dragon. Do I look like some kind of wizard to you?"

A glowing eye surveyed her simple clothes and empty hands

"No, you most certainly do not. Are you so eager for death that you seek it out ahead of your fellows?"

"Not particularly. No desire for a fiery end or terrible teeth here, just curiosity."

A puff of smoke as the dragon snorted in amusement

"And what could pique such curiosity that you would walk out to meet your most certain end?"

"You're curious too? Well, I can tell you, but if you don't like the answer, promise you won't make anything worse than it was already going to be. I'm not going to pretend I'm important enough to make you leave entirely, but promise me that you won't be any more cruel than you were already planning to be."

"And if I am far too proud to bind myself in an oath to one such as you?"

She sat down crosslegged on the stone, leaned back on her hands, and smiled

"Then you do whatever you want, and I die, and your curiosity does whatever it wants to you. After all, if I'm crazy enough to walk out here, I'm crazy enough to hold my tongue even now."

A tremendous foreclaw dug into the stone next to her. She patted it lightly.

"Truly, you are a mad one, and the workings of your mind will be incomprehensible. Very well. I swear to demonstrate no more cruelty here than was already my intention."

"Thank you very kindly, I appreciate it. You must understand, I have a very simple reason for coming out here, actually. I am the eldest daughter of my family. Since I was old enough to hold them without dropping them, I have had the raising of the youngers, any time our parents were busy, or tired, or just couldn't be bothered. I am grown now, and so are they, but the old habits will not leave so easy as moving out of the house we grew up in. I cannot change circumstances, I cannot make things better exactly, but I can give a bit of distance, without making things worse. I was always a master of excuses, of reasons why things aren't as bad as they seem, or of cleaning up a mess before anyone got whallopped for it. And now I've made you promise not to be any worse than you were going to be, while buying everyone else in the village time to run. You can only chase them as long as you would have anyway, and now they have a headstart. And all it cost was me."

"A promise built on a lie is nothing. You came here to trick me, not satisfy your curiosity. The oath is invalid!"

She cocked her head and frowned

"Do you not understand it? I came out here to see if it would be as simple to mitigate damage with a dragon as with my mother. I had to know, I would spend the rest of my life wondering if I didn't."

The dragon rumbled out a genuine chuckle, and pushed her flat on her back with a single claw

"And have you learned, little mortal? Is your curiosity sated?"

"Oh yes, it's actually much simpler, if far more dangerous. She never needed an excuse to change up the rules if she thought I was keeping something from her. You only wanted to when you thought the promise was made insincerely. Thank you for your honest dealing, my dear dragon, it's been an honor."

Part One- Nico finds baby Wari

Warnings ⚠️ Hunting, Blood, Fluff, and cute moments.

Oc female x Oc ORC infant

Day something of my life as the weekdays and weekends just bleed into one now so nothing is the same now. I just paint, hunt and live my life now I live alone and away from orc and human eyes alike.

I am more attuned to nature and the earth than I am to people been that way most of my life. I immediately get dressed and look out the window to see a clear sky." Perfect weather for painting and hunting," I smiled to myself.

I immediately cut up some fruit, and head out with my rope and bow and arrow." What a lovely day!" I whisper seeing the sun is up and make my way down a familiar path of overgrown bushes with nettles thorns and flowers within its bushes.

Since I have no idea of the time and I just go out and hunt, sometimes I hit the jackpot and get a big stag or sometimes I just get a rabbit.

I see a familiar field ahead and I duck behind a bush to see three stags." Bingo," I whisper seeing them in sight and I get my bow and arrow and shoot my shot I hit a bullseye and kill all three stags." These will last me a few months hopefully if they last," I grinned at my kills.

I've been alone since I was eighteen years old and I'm twenty-two years old so for four years I've done this myself and I am proud of my accomplishments. I wrap my rope around the three stags' horns and pull them along as their blood leaves a trail as I drag them back to the cabin.

I began to get the meat prepared for the freezer chuck the bones out and bury the bones." Now that's food done, I can begin to spend time painting and enjoying the sun as rain is due tomorrow," I say to my four empty walls.

I grab my painting gear and my backpack and head out the door to the mountains where I get the best views and the best lighting of everything." Look after the house," I tap the woodwork and walk another familiar path.

I reached the steps to the mountain viewpoint." Well let's get my cardio exercise done and I can paint the rest of the day away and enjoy the sun as I can't tomorrow morning," I whisper seeing the thirty-five step to the viewpoint.

The steps are so deep and hard that you would feel them for days on end and the scenery is worth the miles and the deep hard steps as you see it all from the viewpoint.

I hear a familiar howl and see Alpha come running towards me." Hey alpha, let's go up," I smiled him.

Alpha-

Alpha rubs himself all over me," Ready bud?" I asked stroking his fur he set off running up the stairs and I chased after him as he likes to lead the way to our spot on the mountain." Good boy Alpha," I grinned as he howled in response.

I walked with Alpha to a bench where I like to watch the scenery and draw wolves and dream catchers as Alpha lays by my feet." What do you think Alpha? Should we move on from here or stick around?" I asked him and I got a huff in response." Alright then stay here it is then," I chuckled as he nuzzles me neck.

The scenery-

If you're wondering how I got Alpha, I'll tell you. He found me as a lost pup and I raised him fed him and let him be and he always came home to me and guarded me.

He is more loyal than a human male and has more honour than most men. He isn't tame but he isn't wild he's neutral and he enjoys cuddles but he enjoys free will more.

Alpha gets up to go," See you mister go on, no misbehaving or smack bottom coming your way," I warn him with a smile and Alpha grumbles and nudges me before running off.

I get my drawing pad out to draw and paint my wolf and dream catcher." This is the life," I smiled.

The drawing-

I stay here for a good few hours before heading home. I hear screaming and then silence so I naturally assume that it is alpha catching his kill. I packed my things away and began my journey back down the steps which by the way makes you feel like you're gonna fall and want to rush down them.

My advice is don't! It fucking hurts! I broke my wrist twice and it was not fun I was bored for three months.

I made my way to the bottom step when I heard grumbling and crying coming from the bushes." Alpha if you're stuck again I'm gonna start painting a picture of this," I softly chuckled as I began to remove what was in my way and found something I didn't expect.

I found an orc infant all alone and very healthy as soon as it sees me it growls softly." Okay, just why? Don't growl at me as you are stuck and alone so I'm the only person out here so you're coming back with me," I said softly picking him up in his blanket.

"Right no mom no dad so I assume you got left by mistake or something happened to them," I said softly smiling at the little orc infant who gently touched my face and smiled at him." See I'm not scary am I?" I chuckled softly and he smiles back.

"Now what's your name?" I wondered checking him over and seeing Wari on his tunic." Hello Wari, I'm Nico," I smiled at him and he coos at me.

I put his baby wrap around me and I held him close as I wrote a note saying I had Wari and where to find us but to come peacefully as I was not armed nor dangerous.

"Ready little man," I smiled at him and he leaned into my chest as I made my way back to the cabin with a baby and my painting.

It was sunset so I knew it wasn't safe to leave a baby outside alone especially when it was cold out and there were bad animals that prey on vulnerable creatures.

I put my paintings away and look at a now sleeping Wari." You must be hungry mister, have you got teeth?" I wondered looking to see if he had and he did.

So I cooked up some meat cut it up into tiny portions as he woke up and poured some milk into a baby bottle which I keep just in case I find a baby abandoned and alive.

"So we have a bottle for you and food so ready for it mister Wari," I smiled at him and he grinned. I gave him the milk and he happily drank it," Come on mister, you need to burp before you can have some deer meat," I say softly tapping his back and he burps fairly well.

After I cleaned him, he tried some meat and happily munched on it and fell asleep in my arms content and full of food." Hopefully someone come for you Wari and you can go back to Orc Central and be happy," I coo softly smiling at him.

I'm still not a baby person but this one is I guess kind of cute. But I don't want kids as I'm still too young and like my quiet. I headed to bed with a sleeping Wari and I made sure my doors and windows were locked up tightly before sleeping myself.

*

The next morning, I got woken up by Wari stirring awake and I cleaned him up and got him dressed in new clothes." Same as usual mister?" I cooed at him making him smile and clap at me.

"I hope your family come for your soon as this isn't a forever home, Wari. I don't know much about babies, especially Orc babies so I won't be a good foster parent for you," I softly spoke touching his head making him squeal happily at me."Shall I tell you stories? Since it's a dull and rainy day?" I wondered as I held him close to my chest.

"Humans used to be everywhere, with so many towns and cities and villages but now there are just villages and humans scattered everywhere and with different supernatural creatures," I said softly smiling.

"You're from Orc Central and that's this sector which is spread wide and your Mommy or daddy must have been in trouble to leave you behind," I said softly smiling as he leans against making happy content noises.

"I left the village when I was just eighteen years old, I'm now twenty-two years old and I have a pet wolf who is neither tame nor wild and he's called alpha," I grinned as Wari falls asleep.

I carried on talking as I cleaned the cabin up, gathered some toys that were in the cabin when I got here and laid them out for Wari to have a look at and enjoy. I found children's books and nursery rhymes books as well so I had pretty much all I needed for a baby temporarily.

Little did I know I would have Wari with me for about four months and he and I would have bonded. My life isn't gonna go well isn't it? I am definitely gonna die at the hands of the orcs so wish me luck?

Part two is here-

[bonefall]

Hi, I was wondering given your expressed dislike for how ASiR handled it, how are you going to treat Feathertail and Stormfur and their individual character arcs + strained relationship with RiverClan in the rewrite. We've already seen how Reedwhisker and Mistystar reacted to the trauma of what happened under TigerClan, and I wonder what your plans for them are. Will Feathertail and Sasha still have a relationship and how will that be handled? Also how much of the "Stormfur is thought to be the prophecised defeater of Sharptooth" thing you are going to keep with regards to their Tribe arc, in case that is still preserved I came up with the idea in rewrites of switching their fur colors a bit, so Stormfur is a silver tabby and Feathertail is blue/gray smoke (long-furred), i.e she looks just gray on the surface but has a silver undercoat that's only obvious when she's running or something. This making it make more sense that everyone thinks Stormfur is the one even though Feathertail technically also fits the prophecy. And with Crowpaw and Feathertail's relationship, you've said before that you might age up Crowpaw to make this work, but I'm not sure if it's necessary for a romance at all between the two for the plot or at least more than a one-sided one on Crowpaw's part, wouldn't it just be enough that they bond and Feathertail takes time to really understand Crowpaw when the others don't?

I do very much dislike A Shadow In RiverClan!! I'm going to answer how I'm going to handle it in its own post, because I have a ton of ideas and it's looking like it's going to be one of my bigger reduxes.

When that comes, its new name is going to be The Tiger In RiverClan. In short; its POV will be changed, and it's about all of the half-Clan cats struggling with TigerClan supporters.

The Tribe and the Silver Warrior

I'm gonna wrench out that prophecy entirely, it doesn't sit right with me at all! I don't like how in our very first meeting with the Tribe, they're detaining the sundrown patrol because they expect them to fix their problems. It's a bad introduction. I want that first meeting to be something joyful, interrupted by Sharptooth.

So instead, when the Sundrown Patrol is passing over the mountains, they run into Tribecats and are immediately given help in their crossing. Through conversation, it's quickly discovered that the Sundrown Patrol is descended from the Sun Trail Cats, who the Tribe recognize as long-lost cousins and insist they come and visit the Cave Ward.

This part's a bit fuzzy, I want to go and revisit TNP for inspiration, but somehow around here the Sundrown Patrol violently learns about Sharptooth. Stoneteller explains they've killed him before, and they will kill him again. But the damage is devastating, some of the friendly cats who had saved their lives were suddenly slaughtered by the beast.

The Patrol debates what to do. Tawnypelt, the leader, has to make a decision; Will they stay and help their 'cousins,' or will they return to their mission?

This time, they aren't being coerced or begged in any way. It's completely up to the Sundrown Patrol to make this choice, and it's established that the Tribe CAN deal with Sharptooth on their own... but could use the help!

And help is exactly what they give, Feathertail sacrificing her life to end the carnage.

Feathertail and Crowfoot

A no romance bond could work perfectly well, but something I enjoy about Crowfeather is how this experience colors the 'way' he loves others. I think, even if Feathertail lived, it wouldn't have worked out and Crowfoot would have had to have a reckoning with the fact he can't just stuff people into the hole in his heart.

It would have worked out better for him, though, because Bonefall Feathertail's very wise and, through breaking his heart, would give him some excellent advice on how to properly mend it, if that makes sense. But that isn't what happens. She dies horribly, and Crowfeather spends the rest of his life chasing the "Perfect Love" he thinks he could have had.

(it's honestly too bad that Bonefall Feathertail dies here, she's a total delight and I like writing for her lmao. Ridiculously relaxed pun-lover who knocks you off your feet with sudden, cutting insight.)

As for if she likes him back, I think she kinda does, but not as much as he likes her. Notably, Crowfoot's not going to be as bad as he is in canon, because Canon TNP Crowpaw is just utterly insufferable imo. His mother Ashfoot raises him with stories of the Forget-Me-Nots (her old friend group, including young Bluestar, for newcomers) which makes him several orders of magnitude more agreeable.

I think, of all the Sundrown Patrol, Crow was the one who needed the most shakeup. It's generally agreed that it was a total missed opportunity for these cats to have a sort of 'found family' dynamic, and I think the biggest obstacle to that is Crow. Every word out of his mouth is some flavor of, "I resent being here and I'm committed to hating you people."

It makes a lot of otherwise fun scenes end disastrously.

So instead, I'm approaching him as kind of grumpy and dramatic, but dedicated. Feathertail's the first to understand him, but the whole crew gets him by the time they get back to the Forest.

And, lastly, he's going to be aged up, and not just for the romance. I get the vibe that Deadfoot picked his son from heaven just for the sake of nepotism, and I'd like to fix that at least a little bit. No apprentices are chosen by StarClan to go on the incredibly important religious quest. And, lastly, it fixes a minor time discrepancy where Deadfoot would have been dead before his last litter was conceived.

His name was Crowfoot on the journey, and he receives an honor title from Tallstar as a request to honor Feathertail.

Matthew Perry

I sometimes wonder if I will meet a similar demise.

Found deceased unexpectedly. Tragically.

I certainly have the habits of a person who would be found dead in their home on a Sunday afternoon.

Lets start with the alcohol. I love it. Its been years since I've gone a day without drinking. I did quit for around 100 days 2 years ago, but that involved spending the night in the hospital and going home with a bottle of Lubrium. And let's face it, benzos are better than booze.

Other than that 100 days (which is, coincidentally how long they would allow me to be on Librium) I've been drinking every evening/night for about 12 years.

Did i mention that I also like opiates? Possibly more than alcohol. I had a serious addiction for many years and squandered unfathomable amounts of money chasing the ever elusive happiness that I so desperately crave. But now that I'm a grown up in my mid 30s, I'm on something called Suboxone (the active ingredient, buprenorphine, was found in Matthew's toxicology report as a contributing factor to his death).

It's like heroin without the fun. But if you take enough and happen to mix it with alcohol, you can get a decent nod going. (What this combination is most likely doing to my liver is a conversation for another day). I suspect Matthew was chasing the same thing that I am. I haven't touched ketamine (one of the substances found in his system), but I probably wouldn't turn it down if offered.

Being dependent on these substances (alcohol and buprenorphine) feels like being on some kind of strange life support. I don't have the ability to survive or function without it. I feel trapped and weighed down. But I also cannot imagine the alternative. I can't imagine a life completely sober. What is there to look forward to?

A hard day at work is made bearable by the fact that I have some beer and a dose of medication waiting for me when I get home.

I cannot fathom "raw dogging" life. No booze. No pills. Waking up and going to sleep with unaltered brain chemistry is such a foreign idea to me.

Rest in peace, Matthew. I can't say for sure if you suffered from the same affliction that plagues me. But if you did, I understand.
