Who they need (It's not me) -Deceiver Au; Chapter 2

TW: People getting hurt at the hands of an unstable teenager and swearing

Chapter 1

Camilo was deeply seething in his room as he paced back and forth on stage. People were still expecting him to babysit their kids like there isn't any other person eligible for the job in the entire Encanto.

You should've seen the hoard of parents in his face with their children in tow. They all looked stressed, irritated, and/or desperate. Camilo felt bad, truly he did, but that sympathy was quickly replaced by anger and utter disgust.

They were all asking him to watch their kids for a few hours when he just wanted peace to hang out with his friends. Some of the kids to ask the same thing, unknowingly trying to guilt trip him as their parents were.

Others somehow figured it was the best time to ask him if he could shift into Luisa or some other figure to help them with something.

Without thinking he just pushed pass the crowd of people and ran back to Casita. This was supposed to be a happy day for him for f*ck sake!

He got the makeover that he wanted, and he really wanted to show it off to his friends. But some people couldn't understand the word NO!

And this has been happening for over two and a half weeks now. Some parents won't even say anything, they just drop the kid(s) off wherever he's standing. The parents disappear so quickly he just has to put up with it until they come back for their child(ren).

On other occasions some adults would just order him to do something.

"Camilo, I need Luisa to help me with donkeys but she won't help. Maybe you-"

"Camilo, I need you to help me lift these bricks-"

"You can turn into animals now, right? can you help with-"

"Please, I just need a few hours alone. You want to help me, don't you?"

And the kids (either with their parents or just out and about) didn't help. Not that he would put anything against them, they are just kids.

"Camilo, I want to play a game with you! You always have fun games to play"

"Tell us a story por favor, I want a story!"

"Can we play hide & seek in the corn fields"

"Camilo, I need help with this, Camilo I need help with that! I just want a break, why can't I catch a fucking break?! It's like my old life all over again. Thanks Mirabel, for being such a HELPFUL PAIN IN MY ASS!" He thought to himself. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have gotten his gift back no one would be bothering him.

"I'm starting to hate my own fucking name because of these people..."

And what makes matters worse is that is that people are starting to blame him for shit that he didn't do again. Little pranks here and there that do seem like something he would do. They are coming less believable to his family of course but that doesn't mean he's any less tired of it.

Did I mention that Camilo's shapeshifting mishap has become a joke around Encanto?

Whenever he walks around, he can see people looking at him and snickering, giggling, and just don't right laughing. Some even verbally reminding him of it while laughing IN FRONT OF HIM!

"Oh boy Milo, you are some jokester aren't you? Do you think you can do that again?"

"Hey niño animal, you gonna shift and cry again?"

For this past month, it's been taking EVERYTHING in Camilo to not act on petty urges. The urges to burn, break, and just cause chaos to everything and everyone in Encanto.

Why was he holding back? Because he wanted to give the villagers a chance. Some had seemed so nice and respectful he thought they might have changed their ways. He also wanted to spend more time with HIS side of the family.

Consequently, causing his pure rage from when he was five years old to now to bubble over.

Wait...

The miracle came back November 30th, it was now December 20th, just a few more days until Christmas, and then his birthday.

A thought came to mind, there was so much he could do in that time. A little gift to himself for all the shit he's put up with. Camilo smile lit up and so did his eyes, a powerful green and purple glow to them.

"I can become small just like I can turn tall I can become the person you think you'll need-"

Camilo shifted into a mouse and then a jaguar. Then a capybara, slowly shifting into any and every animal he thought of just for quick practice. Mirrors sat in the audience as showed every animal and person he shifted into.

From Alma, to Pepa, to Dolores, to Luisa, and to Isabela. He pretended to be them with their own mannerisms as he sang and twirled around.

"I can become you; no one knows It's not true. So, you really think I'll be the person you need?"

Now that Camilo was finally coming to terms with his urges. He'll do what everyone wants him to do. But it'll come with a consequence.

"I need your face to help me do what I need, so tell me who you need from me, and I get you dealt with. The person you need me to be that person will never be me...will it?"

Camilo shifted into Antonio and looked at one of the mirrors sitting on an audience seat. He touched the mirror and smiled mischievously.

"I can become cute-," He then shifted into Mariano, "Just like I can turn brute I can become the person you think you'll need"

Milo then shifted into Mirabel, the girl he very much despised at the moment. "I can become you; No one knows it's not true so you're who they need?"

Camilo thought about it "I would love nothing more than to ruin her reputation. She's the on who put me in this mess after all"...but doing something in Mirabel's form wouldn't go well in his favor. Everyone will know it's him causing the trouble so what's the point?

He rolled his eyes and thought about someone else, Oh...Milan Gonzalo. The man who liked to drop off his bratty entitled children for hours at a time until dinner came around. Milo shifted into him in an instant-

"I need your face to help me do what I need, so tell me who you need from me, and I get you dealt with. The person you need me to be that person will never be me...will it?"

He thought of ways to ruin his life and remembered he has a big shoe store.

A perfect place to destroy.

"Me, myself, and I oh now I know them. I'll just become another lie the real me will destroy them."

("Me, myself, and I we all will try to be that lie we will be that phony lie")

Camilo climbed on top of his stage and ran over to his dresser. He pulled the upper drawer open and rummaged through the scissors, paper, and pens until he found what he was looking for.

A pack of matches.

Once he had them in his right hand he smiled sinisterly as he clutched them and put them in his right pocket. With a quick pace Camilo left his room.

On the way to the village, he shifted into a hummingbird and flew over the villagers. He loved the feeling of the air in his wings and the feeling of superiority he had over the people below him.

After turning a few corners and down a few alley ways, he made it to Milan's shoe store. Oh, how well kept and pristine it was. Too bad it wasn't going to stay that way.

He perched himself on a bench next to the shop in a butterfly form and waited for someone to go in. Luckily, the main man himself, Milan, walked out of his store.

Camilo noticed he had keys in his hands, so it was obvious he was about to lock up.

"Why couldn't he be inside while I burn this place down? just a little burn wouldn't do much."

Quickly, Milo turned into a mosquito and flew as fast as he could into the store. He landed on the hard wooden floor of the establishment. The warmth shining through the glass made the floor warm to the touch.

Milo shifted back into himself but remained crouched because there were glass windows in front of the shop, and he didn't want to risk being seen.

Some shoes were put on display behind the glass and by how high up they were, which was four feet, he could hide a little bit.

He took the match pack out of his pocket, pressed the match head into the striker, and dragged the head along the striker. Resulting in a small little flame.

It flickered and shined brightly in Camilo's eyes. Those held hateful and petty intent mixed with mischievous joy. Camilo carefully placed a match into a shoe and lit another match, doing the same thing over and over again.

He was happily torching every shoe in sight until he landed on some orange and yellow espadrilles (shoes similar to Dolores'/Pepa's).

"Hm, I need some new shoes" Like he didn't have ten new pairs at home.

Camilo grabbed the shoes, took off his old ones, and put on the new ones. Perfect fit!

This was so thrilling for him. Burning down the store of one of the people who used him while they did only God knows what. The feeling was incredible.

As of right now, the entire place was smelling like smoke and the matches were starting to do their job. But he lit a couple more matches and just threw them about. He needed this process to be a lot quicker.

Before the smell of fire fully got onto him, Camilo shifted into a mosquito again and flapped his tiny wings through the keyhole. When he saw no one was watching he shifted into a hummingbird again and sat on top of the shoe store.

He sat there for five minutes until he got bored and flew away to cause havoc to someone else. No one noticed the store was burning yet. Milo thought of who to f*ck with next. So many candidates!

Camilo looked down at the villagers and noticed a certain person scurrying around. The well-known bully, Esteban Curillo. The entire Encanto despised him and his puta chismosa of a mother.

Esteban could literally murder someone and Dulce, his mother, would deny it. "He would never do such a thing" kind of mama. Milo thought about how Esteban and Dulce sort of mirrored him and Pepa, but he quickly denied those thoughts.

There's no way in hell we're the same...well, maybe a little. But I'm not an asshole like he is.

He remembers how Estaban constantly used to annoy and verbally bully him in school. He still attempts to, and it's been getting on Milo's absolute nerve.

Then he remembered some gossip between students where Esteban got into a fight with his aunt a few weeks ago, one of the many bakers in Encanto. Something about how she banned him from her bakery because he actively destroys and steal stuff from it.

And when the blame couldn't be placed on Esteban, surely the next best person to blame was Camilo. He hated that. Esteban also didn't know the meaning of the word "NO" and girls utterly despised him for it.

Perfect target number two

And Camilo just so happened to be a frequent person in that bakery of hers. This was going to be fun. Sure, he was going to feel bad for what he was about to do because Esmerelda is a nice woman but...he needed to blow off steam.

He flew over to her bakery and unfortunately...it was crowded. There wasn't much he could do right now. He'll come to do what he needed to do tonight tho.

"Dammit!...wait, this doesn't mean I can do other things." Camilo thought about what he could do. Then he got it...he was about to an absolute menace...in Esteban's form.

So, that's what he did. Camilo hid behind a house and shifted into the slightly older male. Short brown hair, skin like Tio Agustin's, brown eyes, and a plain dusty blue ruana and grey pants.

The first thing he did was steal some firecrackers, fireworks, and picked up some rocks he found around. He set some firecrackers off in Acacia Herrera's hair, the town *cough* tissue wipe *cough* and home Recker. A woman who also left all of her four kids with Camilo when she didn't feel like watching them. Which would also be for hours at a time.

He smashed windows of shops, threw rocks into windows, destroyed any sort of property of he could. All of which belonged to people who used or made fun of him in some sort of way. And maybe some other random places just for some self-indulgence. (And to keep his tracks unnoticeable)

Milo's heart was beating so freaking fast. There were times where he had to stop and take a break to calm himself down. He knew Dolores was probably listening to what was going on and the last thing he needed was her to be suspicious of him.

His last evil deed was done with fireworks. He walked past a bar and decided to snoop just in case there was anyone in there he recognized. He shifted into a ladybug and flew in

Turns out, 40% parents who forced him to babysit for long hours or just folks who forced him to do tiring ass labor for dumb reasons were in that bar. It wasn't much but still enough to cause him to shift back into Esteban, light up a bunch of fireworks and toss them in.

How could he recognize them? Camilo shapeshifts for a reason; it's built into him to remembering everything about faces at this point. Even when he doesn't mean to.

Sure, there were innocents in there, but Cami really didn't think about that. revenge and pettiness was the only thing on his mind at the moment.

Oh, how colorful all that was. Seeing the fireworks shoot out of the bar so magically and beautifully.

His face:

People were running off shrieking or attempting to dodge the sparks coming at them. Camilo was just amazed. However, he quickly had to get his ass up out of there because the sparks were flying everywhere...and he didn't want to risk getting caught.

All of this was so exciting for him. One of the reasons he was so happy without a care is because that the smart portion of the village, and his family, knows HE would never do any of this.

The Camilo they knew would leave ink on your toothbrush at best, not vandalize, steal, or just cause terror amongst people like ESTEBAN does.

That boy has been known to do these kinds of things before but only at a small scale. But still, multiple people have seen him do all those things.

There's no way people could pin the blame on Camilo this time. And even if they do, they are more than likely going to get a lightning strike and a slap to the face.

He was causing havoc for at least three more hours until it was time for dinner. By then he was really tired, and all of that steam dissipated into pure exhaustion.

He was panting as he still tried to calm himself down. After his heart was steady, he shifted back into himself and slowly walked down they alleyway and turned a corner to get to Casita.

Milo's reign of terror started at 3:30 and ended at 6:45. He didn't exactly know the time, but he knew the sun was setting and that meant it was almost time to go home.

In the meantime, he stopped everything and decided to hang out with his friends. The ones he could find that is. His energy was mostly drained, but he was still able to talk and joke around with them.

By 7:39 it was full time to go home so he bid his friends goodbye and slowly walked home.

He could see his parents walking up ahead of him. Milo saw them hanging on each other, Pepa's arm around Felix's shoulder and Felix's arm around Pepa's waist.

Pepa kisses his cheek and leaned on him, so sweet...of course Camilo didn't think so. Gross, adult love.

The teen boy rolled his eyes at the sight but kept his pace slow. He was in no mood to speed up. Camilo looked behind him and there was Antonio on Luisa's shoulders.

On her left was Isabela and Mirabel, with Dolores on Luisa's right. They were talking about something. Something Camilo cared less to listen to.

Milo turned around and thought back to the events of today, the very start of all the more chaos he'll cause. He smiled warmly at the thought, so much chaos before his birthday. How nice.

Soon enough, he made it into Casita with the others.

"Alright Milo, you know someone is going to say something so just act dumb"

After everyone greeted each other with small talk, they got ready for dinner. Camilo quickly went up to his room and changed, he didn't need anyone smelling any trace of smoke on him.

Once that was done, he came down and sat next to Dolores and his mother.

Sudado de pollo was served for dinner and as always, it's good food. Luisa's favorite actually! Julieta came up with a plan to start cooking meals that are favorites of certain family members. She does it in a pattern according to age.

It'll soon be Camilo's turn seeing as he's the middle child like Luisa.

Everyone talked about their days and Camilo listened, or at least tried to. His mind kept drifting to all the other things he may do before Christmas and his birthday.

Should I become a murderous villain?...hmmm. Eh, seems fun but also WAY too much work. I'm already going to do enough work, but if the situation calls for it, I might-

"CAMILO!"

The boy snapped out of his thoughts and looked to where the voice came from, Isabela.

"Wha?" Camilo asked in confusion. His chameleon earrings dangling with the movement of his head.

"Esteban, he's been the embodiment of chaos all day, didn't you hear?" Isabela asked in an annoyed tone. She wasn't upset at Camilo, just the situation.

"Uh yeah, I did. He's been crazy all day...I wonder why" Camilo tried to sound a little bit concerned but not too over the top.

"He hurt a lot of people," Mirabel added worriedly.

"Are they okay?" Camilo asked

"Si, I healed them" Julieta admitted to him. "I don't what got into that boy but good god he needs to be locked up!" she added with a soft but stern tone.

"You just HAD to heal them Tia...just great" Camilo bitterly thought to himself.

"What would drive him to do all that? and act like he didn't do it?!" Luisa asked with a confused expression.

"What would drive his mother to say it's all lies or that Camilo did it." Dolores muttered quietly but it was loud enough for Camilo and Pepa to hear. Seeing as they were right next to her on both sides.

"And that poor man Milan, his injuries weren't bad but he still had them..." Julieta felt sad at the memory. Unbeknownst to Camilo, Milan went back to his store and saw that everything was on fire.

In an act of stupidity, he ran inside attempting to get a family heirloom from the back part of the small building. Somethings started collapsing/caving in but he made it out with some small burns.

"What...what happened to him?" Camilo asked quietly as he tried not to seem suspicious.

"He got hurt in a fire; it was his shoe shop. Esteban's doing no doubt!" Julie answered with a little bit a fury in her eyes. She was SURE it was his doing.

This almost made Camilo smile. That miserable energy sucking asshole got hurt? Oh goodie! but he had to remind himself that he's around people that don't think like him.

"No laughing or smiling until I get in my room, don't you laugh you idiot!"

"Well, at least he's okay..." Camilo smiled gratefully and slowly turned it into a frown. He was really trying his best to seem worried.

"It would've been better if he actually died, those kids would be better off without him. They have a mom and an uncle from what they've told me so they at least wouldn't be alone. hmm, maybe I should lock him in next time...did I just seriously think that?...."

"His mother had the audacity to blame Camilo." Dolores said with a bitter tone. A dark cloud appeared over Pepa's head, and it thundered.

Pepa snapped her head over to her eldest and only daughter, "SHE WHAT?!"

"Are you serious?" Felix asked with an offended expression.

"Si papa, mami" Dolores' expression still remained stern with a hard gaze at her food.

"Oh, I can't stand that woman! Always blaming Camilo when in fact it was always that diablo of a son!" Alma fumed alongside her middle daughter and her husband, slamming her hand on the table.

"This is so fucking hilarious!" Camilo thought to himself. They didn't believe Esteban or his mother. None of them did. Or at least the right amount of them.

Isabela and Mirabel were a little suspicious but didn't want to say anything. Dolores did think that it could have been Camilo, but he would never do ANYTHING like what Esteban has done today.

"He would be much too afraid to do that. Not to mention way too respectful and just too nice" Dolores thought to herself. Instantly pushing away any assumptions she had.

Dinner carried on as usual with everybody talking about different topics. Soon it came time for everyone to head off to bed for some shuteye or at least a break.

He went up to his room door and touched the doorknob. A happy smile on his face as he thought about tomorrow-

"Camilo! Me and the girls are having a sleepover, want to come?" A bubbly and chipper voice said. He recognized that voice. Mirabel.

He looked to the right of him and saw all four girls staring at him in child-like glee. Camilo wanted to but A; Mirabel, the main person who put him back in the situation he was in seven months ago, was going to be there. And B: He was tired.

"We're gonna tell stories" Dolores said, knowing full well Camilo loved storytelling. And she hoped this could get his mind off of today because she knows that being blamed for everything can't be good on his mental, no matter how much he smiles.

"Do makeovers" Isabela added with a nod

"And gossip, we know you love gossip!" Luisa admitted with a smile.

"We can play games too!"

Camilo smiled as politely as he could to not seem irritated or annoyed. "Uh...No, I'm a little tired, you girls have fun though"

"But-"

In less than a second, he was in his room and locked the door. A deep sigh escaped him as he leaned up against the door. He needed a long bath, and time to himself to truly process what the hell happened today.

"He's hiding something" Isa pointed out with narrowed eyes as she looked at his glowing door.

"How can you tell?" Mirabel asked, Dolores was equally questioning how she stumbled upon that assumption.

"When has he, for the past seven months, denied a sleepover with us?"

"Can't he just be tired? he did look tired" Luisa said with a shrug and raised brow.

"He once sat up with us until 3 AM and still lasted ten minutes...besides. Did he really say what he was doing all day?"

Dolores didn't like where this was going, and she knew where Isa was going with this. "Isabela Valentina Rojas Madrigal, if you somehow even ATTEMPT to bring that Esteban up and dare even HINT at something, so help me..."

Isabela put her hands up and backed away "I- I wasn't going to!"

"Then what were you going to say?" Dolores eyed her primana, silently daring her to admit what she was thinking.

"I was only saying that....never mind..." Isabela scratched the back of her neck and looked away. It was in her best interest to keep whatever thought she had to herself.

"Mhm, that's what I thought. Now let's have our sleepover but I lose patients"

Now, Dolores isn't stupid. Quite the opposite really, over the years she's learned to spot when people were lying or telling the truth. Especially when it came to her younger primas and siblings.

Something in her urged to look into her suspicions of Camilo but she also wanted to cut him some slack. He's been through a lot AND she knows her brother. He would never set fire to a store or...burn people with fireworks...would he?

UGH!! FINISHED! This took way longer than I thought it would

Headcanons as a Husband and Father

Word Count: 814

Big James x Reader

How You Meet

Big James and you first meet in a bustling marketplace.

You are bartering for goods when you accidentally bump into James, almost knocking over the basket he’s carrying.

Apologizing profusely, you’re struck by his calm demeanor and kind eyes.

James is immediately captivated by your sincerity and grace, and after a brief, pleasant conversation, you part ways.

However, James can’t get you out of his mind and finds himself returning to the marketplace more often, hoping to see you again.

How You Fall in Love

Your paths cross several more times in the market, and each time, you share longer conversations.

James is drawn to your warmth and compassion, while you are intrigued by his quiet strength and deep faith.

You begin meeting intentionally, walking together along the outskirts of town or sitting by the lake, discussing everything from scripture to your dreams for the future.

Your bond deepens as you realize how well you complement each other—his steady, introspective nature balances your more outspoken, lively personality.

The moment you realize you are in love is soft and unspoken; it’s in the way you look at each other, the ease of your silences, and the unshakeable trust you’ve built.

Marriage

James proposes in a way that’s reflective of his nature—thoughtful, sincere, and without any grand spectacle.

He takes you to a secluded spot by the lake, where you’ve spent many peaceful hours together, and there, he asks you to be his wife.

Your wedding is simple but beautiful, attended by close family and friends.

James, though typically reserved, can’t hide his joy on your wedding day.

Your marriage is rooted in mutual respect, shared faith, and a deep, abiding love.

What He Is Like in a Romantic Relationship

As a husband, James is devoted, gentle, and attentive.

He isn’t overly expressive with words, but his actions speak volumes.

He’s always looking out for you, ensuring you are cared for and supported in every way possible.

James is deeply affectionate in quiet, intimate ways—holding you close during quiet moments, brushing a strand of hair from your face, or simply being there as a steady presence.

His love is constant and unwavering, providing you with a sense of security and peace.

Finding Out About the Pregnancy

When you tell James you are pregnant, he’s stunned into silence at first.

The weight of the news hits him deeply, and his eyes well up with tears of joy.

He pulls you into a gentle embrace, holding you close as he processes the idea of becoming a father.

For James, this is one of the greatest blessings he could ever receive, and he thanks God for entrusting him with such a gift.

He spends the rest of the day in a state of quiet elation, already planning how to prepare for your child’s arrival.

During Pregnancy

James is incredibly supportive throughout the pregnancy.

He becomes even more protective of you, making sure you are comfortable and have everything you need.

He takes on extra work to ensure your home is well-provisioned and makes a habit of sitting with you in the evenings, resting a hand on your growing belly and speaking softly to the baby.

James is a calming presence during this time, always ready to offer a comforting word or a steady hand when needed.

He’s also diligent in learning about pregnancy and childbirth, wanting to be as prepared as possible to support you.

Having the Child(ren)

James is a pillar of strength during the birth, staying close to you and offering quiet encouragement.

When your child is born, James is overcome with emotion.

He holds the baby with such care and tenderness, marveling at the miracle in his arms.

The experience humbles him, filling him with an even deeper sense of responsibility and gratitude.

He vows to be the best father he can be, just as he’s been a devoted husband.

How Many Children

James and you have two children—a boy and a girl.

He loves the idea of having a small, close-knit family where each child receives plenty of attention and love.

James is an involved and hands-on father, treasuring every moment he gets to spend with his children.

How You Act as Fathers

As a father, James is nurturing, patient, and incredibly dedicated.

He’s the type of father who leads by example, teaching his children the importance of integrity, humility, and faith through his actions.

He’s always there to offer a listening ear or a word of wisdom, and he delights in watching his children grow and learn.

James is also deeply protective, always ensuring his family is safe and well-cared for.

His children adore him, seeing him as your source of strength and guidance, and he takes great pride in helping them become kind, strong, and faithful individuals.

Kylo ren/ reader

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓

A/n: well english is not my first language so if there are any spelling mistakes please let me know, this is the first part of three, I hope you like it 🤍

Summary: Working for The First Order is scary, and your only moment of peace is dinner time, but maybe you need company...

679 words

1/3

Much is said about how it is to work for The First Order, how incredible the power, leadership, victories and how they are conquering colonies are, but it is the dead soldiers, the different families who lose their children, and their homes.

The workers of the smaller classes of the first order, those who build the ships, the weapons, and the workers who clean the floors of those who don't even look at us, but when they do, it's with a look of contempt, as if we were freaks, or like a One of them said to me once: "You, I bet you're one of those savages that came from the colonies, third world beings, dumb by nature." Soon you can hear the laughter of your companions, I still remember your smug smile and that look: "But I think I've seen you in my homeland before the attacks, you have similar traits to mine, sir." It was the first time I responded to a superior, and probably the last because immediately afterwards I was punched in the face, the shock was instantaneous and the blood ran down my nose staining my lips, the punch was corresponding to a warning, because how did he he said" "Because if I wanted to, you'd be dead already, you bitch."

I think that's where my fear expanded, always being a fearful child, and over the years I only became insecure, after the invasions of the First Order it ended up making everything worse. My father, by a miracle, managed to keep the family together, he started working as a mechanic in one of the facilities, thus pulling me along to work and support the house, sometimes I helped him with repairs on some machines, or carrying parts, as the months went by. I got a job cleaning the ship, that's where my first contact with superiors came from, even seeing the Supreme Leader. It was terrifying, after a long Council meeting, near the cabins you could hear screams and broken machine parts falling to the floor, the noise scared all the employees around.

"Good heavens, not again.." I turn to look at the person responsible for the comment, it was Korys, an old lady who worked with me cleaning this sector: "What... what do you mean again? What's happening in there?". Even before he responded, the doors opened, his furious exit with heavy footsteps disturbing the sound of the environment that was previously calm, now terribly nervous. There he was with his mask, completely distraught, walking with heavy steps, scaring the people around him. Seeing it for the first time gave me a frightening first impression, as if it were death passing in front of me. In addition to the sound of his boots that were loud, my heart accelerated, in my head everyone could hear the sound of him jumping out, I was terrified, I couldn't even move, Korys with her sweet heart, held my hand. When he finally turned to another hallway, I could breathe again: "My dear, you have turned pale, is everything okay?" "I..I'm fine, was that the Supreme Leader?" Tilting his head gently: "That way, who else would be..." "You two, the room is free for cleaning, when you're done, return to your proper duties."

How can I say that the room was completely destroyed, pure fruit of chaos, anger being taken out on machines, at least not on living beings, right? The cleaning took hours, it seemed like it would never end, there were pieces after pieces and there wasn't much to save, everything was in pieces. The window had some scratches as if he had thrown a chair at it, at least it wasn't broken and the view of the starry sky was divine amidst the chaos of this room.

After these terrible episodes, I still stayed in the cleaning sector, I have the choice to leave but I need this job, for my parents, and maybe one day my future family, I think I can get used to it, just stay out of trouble.

Summary: The primary reason that a rose grows thorns is self-defense. Nemu likes to think the same applies to herself. When her good friend Alina Gray offers entry tickets to an art gallery for her nineteenth birthday, likely out of pity, she hopes to have a quiet afternoon to herself, away from her family, only for the gallery to go empty during her visit and swallow her into its depths. Now trapped with no way home and her very life tied to a flower, Nemu is sure she can find an exit before the homicidal artwork does her in. (And if possible, Alina Gray is going to court with a broken spine for the worst prank in history.)

But inside the gallery, there is something else, someone else. A shrike. And a shrike doesn’t let its prey know when it’s watching.

Crows cawed as they flew across the grey skies. The leaves of the Emerald Forest blew in the wind. Above the sea of trees stood a tall, white and silver castle.

Ozpin: Beacon. It was once a kingdom of great prosperity. The lands flourished and there was joy in the air... until the day the king died.

Gris: My poor brother. Too weak and unworthy for the throne. Don't you worry. Beacon will emerge from the ashes stronger than ever.

The doors open and an army of knights rode out, armed with swords. Many small villages were raided and destroyed. Houses were burned down and the people were thrown onto the streets.

Ozpin: Gris was a ruthless tyrant, whose cruelty knew no bound. He betrayed his brother and usurped the throne, leading Beacon to ruin. All hope seemed lost. But wherever there is evil, good will always rise up to put an end to it. The sword in the stone lies dormant, awaiting its destiny, awaiting for a saviour, awaiting the true king.

🎵They see you as small and helpless.

They see you as just a child.

Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild.🎵

[Arc House]

Jaune: *grabs leaflet* It says here that there's a tournament to determine a new king of Beacon. Whoever pulls the sword out of the stone will be the victor.

[Tournament Stage]

Pyrrha: Hiyaaah! *beats knight*

🎵Prepare for your greatest moments

Prepare for your finest hour

The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower.🎵

[Emerald Forest]

Jaune: Haaaaa!!! *punches tree* Ha! Ha! HA! HAAAAA!!!

Ozpin: This boy may be our only hope.

🎵We are lightning🎵

Yang: *raises fists* Sorry, scruffy, but no one's getting past me.

Jaune: *draws sword* Bring it on, bandit!

🎵Straying from the thunder🎵

Blake: You think you have what it takes to be a knight? *kicks Jaune*

Jaune: Agh!!

Blake: *pulls his hair* You. Aren't. Ready.

🎵Miracles of ancient wonder🎵

Jaune: *stands up and puts a wrap round his head* I can feel it. The sword, it's... *clenches fist* calling to me.

🎵This will be the day we've waited for

This will be the day we open up the door🎵

Ren: RAAAAAH!!! *charges at Cardin*

Cardin: YAAAAAAH!!! *charges at Ren*

🎵I don't wanna hear your absolution

Hope you're ready for a revolution?🎵

Weiss and Pyrrha fight with their swords, while Yang blocks Nora's hammer strikes.

Nora: SMAAAAASH!!!!!

🎵Welcome to a world of new solutions

Welcome to a world of bloody evolution🎵

Jaune and Sun engage in a deadly battle, sword against staff. Each of them parrying each others strikes. They're an even match.

A story will be told🎵

some me/taphor spoiler stuff (a big spoiler included so read at your own discretion) and more DA stuff, mostly thinking(tm):

me, debating with myself whether it's worth it to make a metaphor verse or not: if akari is married to some other dude then that means no miracle romanceeeeeee wtf :'(

but in all seriousness, while it's very nice(tm) i was right about the mother thing - massive heheing - the character is also dead and also really only has an attachment to one character that's alive (i could be wrong though i haven't really dove into spoilers like that!). i mean, i could cook with that like i always do but i don't want to just ignore other characters lol. so i might wait, finish the game, and figure out what i want to do. but who knows when that'll be lol. or i just wing it and do whatever i want.

i'm probably gonna wing it and do whatever i want aka she's secretly alive, a good parent but also a lil terrible becaUSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE MOTHER JUST SEPERATED THE SON'S TRAITS INTO A WHOLE OTHER PERSON???? WHAT. like i get it's sweet/it's so he can experience the world in a way. but it's also a lil...out there. akari would do something like that help.

but there is something - either a movie or a show - that has a plot point where a mother was banished / couldn't be with her child(ren) but i cannot remember what it is. or i could just be blurring ff7 and a bunch of other stuff together, who knows. either way, i just. want those vibes maybe.

onto DA stuff: on one hand, i want to try out the sick natural hair in the CC for the new game. cause natural hair in games usually suck and these look awesome + i usually just play as someone brown cause. well, i'm brown lol and rep is bad in games. but i was thinking, it would also be fun to make akari in it and that's the verse. like she is rook - but maybe with the spirity funky times going on. mostly because it would be fun to have a verse where she's not cosmic eldritch monster mother. at least...not entirely.

but we'll see.

#i thought i could escape the miracle romance by being indifferent to it in my teens #turns out you just get slapped by it in your 20s instead #anyway i have show up to do what i do best: ramble then leave

Of course, all three books I had reserved at the library came in on the same day, messing up my highly technical reading list plan of ‘read the one that comes in first, first’.

So… who wants to help me decide what to read first?

Our options include:

Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas

As the daughter of a rancher in 1840s Mexico, Nena knows a thing or two about monsters--her home has long been threatened by tensions with Anglo settlers from the north. But something more sinister lurks near the ranch at night, something that drains men of their blood and leaves them for dead. Something that once attacked Nena nine years ago. Believing Nena dead, Néstor has been on the run from his grief ever since, moving from ranch to ranch working as a vaquero. But no amount of drink can dispel the night terrors of sharp teeth; no woman can erase his childhood sweetheart from his mind. When the United States attacks Mexico in 1846, the two are brought abruptly together on the road to war: Nena as a curandera, a healer striving to prove her worth to her father so that he does not marry her off to a stranger, and Néstor as a member of the auxiliary cavalry of ranchers and vaqueros. But the shock of their reunion--and Nena's rage at Néstor for seemingly abandoning her long ago--is quickly overshadowed by the appearance of a nightmare made flesh. And unless Nena and Néstor work through their past and face the future together, neither will survive to see the dawn…

The Gospel According to the New World by Maryse Condé

One Easter Sunday, Madame Ballandra puts her hands together and exclaims: "A miracle!" Baby Pascal is stikingly beautiful, brown in complexion, with gray-green eyes like the sea. But where does he come from? Is he really the child of God? So goes the rumor, and many signs throughout his life will cause this theory to gain ground. From journey to journey and from one community to another, Pascal sets off in search of his origins, trying to understand the meaning of his mission. Will he be able to change the fate of humanity? And what will the New World Gospel reveal?

The Last Ranger by Peter Heller

Ren is a park ranger, tasked with duties both mundane and thrilling: breaking up fights at campgrounds, saving tourists from moose attacks, and attempting to broker an uneasy peace between the wealthy vacationers who tromp around with cameras and the locals who want to carve out a meaningful living amid this western landscape. When Ren discovers his friend Hilly, a biologist and wolf expert, nearly dead in the steel jaws of a wolf trap, he hopes it's just an accident, but the small red ribbon tied to the stake makes him fairly certain that it wasn't. But what begins as an investigation into the background of a local poacher soon opens into something far murkier: A shattered windshield, a series of red ribbons tied to traps, the discovery of a frightening conspiracy, and a story of heroism gone awry.

#I was pondering and realized ‘I can crowdsource this’ lol

why dont you like futaba/gen?

A lot of the persona 5 characters, while colorful and anime-archetype-y- do have a grounded-ness to them- they all have very real issues and very real skillsets... and While characters like Yuuske and Makoto (even Ren, depending on how you play him) could be considered prodigies and/or excel in their fields, Futaba stands out and further forward in terms of that. An infinately brilliant hacker that can basically pull miracles out of their computer? Just as brilliant as Makoto in terms of reasoning and problemsolving? She's mean and "Sassy" which really steps on Mona and Ryuji's area and is later pulled as empathetic like Ann.

I'm only a few steps into Palace 5 and already she annoys me from a character implementation standpoint. Instead of her worrying, it should be Ann. Instead of her figuring out what happened, it should have been Makoto or Yuuske.

Her persona is wild in the sense that it feels really... reductive comparative to the others. the "Wow! a persona as a vehicle!" factor from Makoto is absolutely trashed and outshone by Futaba's giant UFO persona. IDK it feels wrong.

Even her character design doesn't match the others. All of them have a.. tangibility. They all look like stylish thieves- even Ann, who does vary... is based off Catwoman! Yet Futaba doesn't mach any of them! Giant goggles, giant shoes. OK astro boy.

She doesn't fit in that brand of "Silly" that P5 has cultivated for me so far. In a game where there is a bobbleheaded cat that fights demons in clown castles, She feels like a cartoon character. Hell, I'd even say that she feels less like a character and more like a... tool. a plot device.

Persona also suffers from severe anime brainrot- and thats bad when she's so little sister coded, which would be fine if you squint... if she wasn't also a romancible character with unavoidable scenes. I KNOW she's the same age/ish as the others but she's also insanely immature, framed as childish, and is literally described as frail. She needs vitamin D and iron supplements stat.

...and for the most part I have been able to grit my teeth through that anime brainrot because it's been offering a really great story with really amazing characters. When Ren looses some of his personality to "Stoic Anime Protag brainrot" or they do something fuckin' weird with the girls as eyecandy. It's fine, it's whatever. But Futaba... she's.. something else. UGH wish I could put it in WORDS.

She's becoming more tolerable the further in I go to the next palace' storyline, but thats because she's not as relevant anymore to make way for the new girl (who I havent met yet but I like her a lot already) so I know it's not.. my ML-induced phobia of character bloat.

...and please don't try and explain her actions cause of her backstory, im talking from a character design and implementation angle. I think.. I think I'd like her more if she was an exterior member of the thieves, an actual child, and slightly less prodigy-ish.

tl:dr: she feels like a fanfiction character and is weirdly out of place.

She was also mean to Yuuske and Morgana for no fucking reason when she should have been mean to Ryuji instead. I want to push her down the stairs. I also want her to stop touching Ren please. I know ppl think it's okay or funny if it's a guy but it's not.

#Anonymous #Futaba specifically feels like... that “gamer girl gf” meme.

‘ priscilla quintana, cis woman, she/her, 30/300, high fae ’ ― cauldron save you. it seems NEVA MORA has finally made it to the capital, the EMISSARY from THE NIGHT COURT is said to be PERCEPTIVE and is said to describe themselves with MOONLIGHT SHINING THROUGH HEAVY CLOUDS, FLOWERS GROWING BACK AS THORNS, STRUGGLING TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS and with all of this in mind their DISTANT nature always seems to get them into trouble. may the mother hold them as they navigate this unthinkable time.

𝑮𝑬𝑵𝑬𝑹𝑨𝑳 full name : neva mora. nicknames : nothing she'd accept. pronouns: she/her. sexuality: bisexual.

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑰𝑵𝑺𝑷𝑰𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 jung haein ( queen of tears ), evelyn hugo ( the seven husbands of evelyn hugo ) , shoko ieiri ( jjk ), cecily herondale ( the infernal devices )

𝑭𝑨𝑴𝑰𝑳𝒀 keir mora ( father whereabouts unknown ), esmeralda mora ( mother ), tba mora ( adopted sibling , wanted connection !!! )

𝑯𝑰𝑺𝑻𝑶𝑹𝒀 murder tw

the pristine image of the mora’s had been painted with a cold touch, haunting the family and its members. even neva, still so young and supposed to be naive, grows up with it and it isn’t the cold that would make her shiver but warmth that she’d never get used to. neva spends most of her time alone, surrounded by grand halls and wasteful displays, yet it seems that all that space barely offers any room for mistakes. the moras not only expect a lot from their daughter but everything exceeding that. it doesn’t matter that her mind is too fragile, crushing under expectations she has to prove that she’s worth bearing her name. neva doesn’t believe in miracles despite everything surrounding her . all of it was her own hard work driven by the shameful desire to leave her family, her life behind. and perhaps that’s why the cold air surrounding her is almost suffocated by her pride. or she’s just another one who’d fallen victim to that damn pride of a mora. another doll painted on that perfect family portrait. and that perfect facade would be passed to her, a hint of pride gracing her father’s lip for the first time about his daughter being an emissary for the night court. miracles still didn’t exist and only she could make them happen. perhaps love had to be earned and she finally managed to get it. however, soon neva would learn that fate rarely changes and carried whispers could so easily break the illusion of impeccability. her father vanished; leaving them with bloodied hands and a tarnished name, accused of murdering his best friend but more importantly to others a fae of high rank. to this day, she still doesn’t know about his whereabouts and even if she did, she wouldn’t search for him. after all, he has abandoned them and she’d do so, too.

𝑴𝑰𝑺𝑪

she’s devoted to the night court and takes her responsibilities seriously. she knows that some people might talk behind her back and perhaps even believe that she helped her father, thus she’s even more determined to prove them wrong. while neva doesn’ care about the gossip surrounding her, she tends to be a littl vain sometimes. she has quite an exaggerated beauty routine and love pretty dresses. despite he abilities, neva isn’t exactly beloved by the people around her as she isn’t a particularly warm person. she tends to be blunt and rarely sugarcoats anything. although vehemently denying it, neva likes romance. she often asks her lady-in-waiting abou any kind o gossip regarding romances within the court.

𝑾𝑨𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑫 𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑵𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺 anything angsty with a lot of drama pls <3 but also

the child(ren) of the person her father has murdered people at her court (or have to work with her) who absolutely cannot stand her people who suspect her of being as shady as her father a friend someone she has a soft spot for and is one of the few people she cares about childhood friends

ex betrothal: someone who broke the engagement off because of her father or maybe neva was the one who just ended it suddenly angsty exes, exes with lingering feelings whose relationship might have ended because neva didn't want to deal with her feelings and now they're in this very weird inbetween ?? something based on this post !!! or on this tiktok

anything your heart desires <3

Last night I finished Kingdom of Ash (🥳)

I had a physical copy, but for a good portion of this read, I was reading an ebook I checked out from the library. Unfortunately, too many people were waiting for this book, and Libby automatically returned it when I only had about 30% left, so I had to lug around my gigantic dictionary-sized copy with me everywhere to finish. (😵‍💫)

I apologize for doing a bad job of taking notes, i literally stopped doing it about 20 chapters before the end, but if you’re interested, here’s some raw thoughts up until that point.

IT WAS QUITE THE JOURNEY.

And what a fulfilling end to an epic series!

ToG Read-A-Long, Kingdom of Ash, Day 11

Ch 79

I think Yrene and Elide are so compatible as friends, I like this combination actually. I definitely want to see Yrene work her miracle magic on Elide’s leg. Yes, girl! Get healed! Form new bonds and friendships!

Ch 80

Lol, Elide’s uncle is such a piece of shit. I love how rutheless Aelin is. She’s the best. And true to her word!

It’s all starting to come together. This fear, this hype, the whole adventure coming to its final conclusion. I’m very excited for when Dorian shows up like a total badass with all three wyrdkeys. I’m very excited for the demolition of Erawan, and maybe Maeve too if Aelin can find it in her.

Let’s go. Let’s win the war against evil, and save the whole world.

Ch 81

The scene with Evangeline and Aedion and Lysandra is so cute. My heart! Aw.

Um, I also really like Darrow; lmao, he’s such a shitty person but he’s not evil, he’s just a jerk.

and hell yeah

Hell yeah, Manon is here, to honor a promise made to a friend

Hell yeah, queen of the Corchan’s

Hell yeah, let’s kick some ass

Ch 82

“Freedom - freedom from the Matrons who had forged them into tools of destruction.”

I would have liked to see Manon take over ALL the witch legions, the crochans and the Ironteeth both, but if they won’t follow her, then they have to die. This is war! And we’re gonna win!

For a better world!

Aedion and Lysandra are finally declaring that they love each other. It’s about time for those two. No one’s ever asked Lysandra permission to kiss her before? Girl, my poor heart. You should let him, Lysandra! Just go for it! Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy something consensual at least once before you die?

Ch 83

Dorian you’re so sweet, aw.

I don’t want anyone to die!

I want to find another way. Why can’t we just be Elena, and seal Erawan away without dying to forge the lock?

I know it supposedly pisses off the gods - but - I can’t stand these gods - I’m pissed off that everyone’s talking about dying all the time

I’m sick of sacrifice

I just want to be happy

And I just want the characters to be happy, too

Ch 84

Building to another battle

Lysandra’s up to something fishy (har har)

Day 12

Ch 85

Right into it

It does make me sorry to see Manon killing Ironteeth witches. But not everyone can be saved. This is war.

Lysandra is a dragon again

Love her

Aedion is fighting the good fight! Love him.

Ch 86

Um!

Is Ren okay!

Aedion got knocked out - by something - but is Ren okay?

I think I said before how much I love Evangeline. It’s good to have diversity of characters, and someone like her, who is a literal child, getting to have perspective on some of these big moments, it makes the world so much richer.

I also like Darrow for part of the same reason - even though he’s extremely unlikeable, personality wise.

The combination of Darrow and Evangeline isn’t something I knew I needed, but I actually like it a lot.

Aedion will be alright, honey. We have to have faith.

Ch 87

Elorcan my whole heart!!!!

Do I hate the fade to black? Yes, actually, how dare you SJM, she worked so hard for this virginity loss moment, how dare you cut away!

I wanna be in there, I want to feel my heart fill up with feelings while Elide gets to experience sex for the first time and learn how good it feels!

Boo

Aelin having nightmares, boo

I love Rowaelin, tattoo me up, baby, let’s be lovers forever.

And yay!!!

Dorian’s finally back!!!!

We’re all together now, the happy ending is at hand, we can get there, I KNOW we can get there, it’s not far now!

Ch 88

I told you Aedion was gonna be alright. 🥰

It’s the kind of fight that just keeps going - but don’t worry friends. Aelin and Dorian are on their way, and it’s gonna be amazing.

Abraxos is gonna be just fine.

Ch 89

Manon bared her teeth. “I am.” She pointed at the shape-shifter. “You can carry me.”

Aedion snarled, “No.”

But Lysandra shook her head, sorrow and despair in her green eyes. “I can’t - the magic is drained. If I had an hour -“

Am I the only one hoping for Dorian-as-a-wyvern to dramatically turn up and give Manon a ride to the witch tower?

Omfg Asterin

All of them?

I want you to live, too.

Don’t do this to me

Ch 90

NO this is the WORST

Manon :(

Ch 91

YAY

DORIAN AND CHAOL, TOGETHER AGAIN AT LAST

That flicker of sorrow in Dorian’s eyes, when Chaol introduced him to his wife, I know it was probably just brotherly sorrow that he couldn’t be there for the wedding day, but I absolutely believe he was sorry that Chaol is off the market and he’ll never get his chance to make out with him now.

(I’m going down with this ship, toot toot, Dorian x Chaol, sinking beneath the surface)

Why! Why do we have to die! It’s so dumb!

I don’t want either of you to do it. I vote, we anger the gods, and do what we want, and live long happy lives and fall deeper and deeper in love. I vote we die of natural causes, at the ripe old age of 200 or whatever.

Ch 92

The issue of dying in place of your friends is so selfish. I especially love Rowan right now for fighting to keep Aelin’s heart beating.

She wouldn’t let him die to save her, so what makes her sacrifice any better?

I like the idea of both Aelin and Dorian giving “half” of themselves. Maybe they’ll only die a little bit. Only mostly dead, like in The Princess Bride. And what could be a better reason for living than true love!

Day 13

Ch 93

Ok you are kidding me

This is nuts

They’re gonna come back, right?

Right?

Ch 94

I’m sorry but I actually laughed out loud when no one knew Dorian’s dad’s name

#tog read along 2023 #kingdom of ash #Maddy plays catch up #this book!!!!!!#i’m so sad it’s ending #what am I gonna do with my free time now

Alma is an incredibly warm and affable person and always has been, due to her own struggles growing up she always wants to make people feel at ease and welcome. As a child/teenager she was incredibly guarded but as an adult, and since the publication of her first poetry collection, the walls have come down somewhat, she’s open about her past but slightly more guarded about her present. She’s one of those people that you spill your guts to because she’s so nurturing and good at listening but then when you look back at your conversations you realize she actually shared very little about herself. As a mother she is incredibly protective of her son, she’s not mean or violent in most circumstances but she will go to the ends of the earth to protect her little miracle both from physical and emotional harm. Due to her upbringing Alma tries to avoid confrontation whenever possible, raised voices are still triggering for her to this day. She does have a dark side due to her not being fully healed from her past, she tends to get into deep and dark moods occasionally which can last anywhere from a couple hours to a couple weeks or months. She does her best to hide this.

WRITTEN BY: Ren (she/her, they/them), pst.

BACKGROUND / BIO

triggering / sensitive content: abuse (physical and emotional), mentions of struggles conceiving, mentions of miscarriage, alcoholism, addiction, illness, chronic illness

Alma Cardozo is something of a famous name in Merrock and not just because she went on to become a bestselling Poet/Author.

Alma was born and raised in Merrock, born to parents who had no business bringing a child into the world. Sure, from the outside they may have had some of the necessary prerequisites: they were doing okay financially, they owned their own home, they were married but finances can change and there are much more important things to consider. Growing up Alma knew that her family was different from others, she knew that in other families fathers didn’t drink until they were violent and that mothers weren’t emotionally neglectful and dependent on their children. It was one of those small town open secrets that thrive in places like Merrock, all anyone had to do was look closely at the family to know what was going on inside the walls of the house but no one ever wanted to look. Alma doesn’t blame them, she wouldn’t have wanted to know either. It made it hard to connect with other people and as a child/teenager she was a fairly guarded person, well liked and nice and all that but people found they didn’t actually know much about Alma beyond what she let show on the surface.

That all changed the day she met Tommy Maddox, of course she’d been aware of him for some time before that, Merrock being a small town and all, but the day those two met it was like something just…clicked. They started off as friends, two souls who perhaps sensed that they had more in common than they let on. It seemed strange to people at first, Alma was warm and extroverted while Tommy had the tendency to be more gruff and introverted but people soon began remarking on how well they complimented each other. Each bringing out sides of the other that weren’t normally there, helping to soften edges and bring them out of their shells. Alma can pinpoint the exact moment that she fell in love with Tommy, like really head over heels in love with him because maybe if she took a minute to think about it she’d loved him at least a little bit even in those early days but her low self esteem had kept those feelings under wraps even from her. Her father had just finished one of his drunken rages, she was in the kitchen alone surrounded by broken ceramic and glass. Call it god, the universe, whatever you want but for some reason that day Tommy had decided to stop in unexpectedly. He found her there, sitting on the kitchen floor. Scared, hurt, pathetic. He didn’t look away. When her father made his way back into the kitchen and Alma had told him “Go, you need to go!” He hadn’t left her. Like most abusers her father was a coward and backed down when Tommy made it clear that he was not going to let anything else happen. Her father left them alone in that kitchen and it was then that they had their first real deep talk, when Alma had calmed down was the first time Tommy kissed her. It was the first time she’d ever been in love, really and truly in love.

The trouble wouldn’t begin until years later after they were married, they both had clear visions of what they wanted for their life as a married couple. They wanted a family, a real family filled with the love and stability that both of them had lacked growing up. It sounded easy enough, both of them committed to the same goal, but alas it was not meant to be. They tried and tried and tried, every time they failed it got just a little bit harder to handle until eventually Tommy turned to the bottle and Alma, beginning to see traces of her father, began to pull away from fear left over from her past trauma. Her friends, in an attempt to help, decided that they were going to take her on a girls night out in the nearest city, get her mind off of everything. It was well intentioned but ill advised, Alma was lonely and vulnerable and looking for an escape that not even books were providing her any more. It was on this night out that she ended up cheating on Tommy, a combination of drinks and loneliness leading to the encounter. Filled with guilt she confessed it to Tommy almost as soon as she got back, there were tears and pleading and assurances that it hadn’t meant anything and that she regretted it. Two broken people but two people still in love, they decided to separate for a time in order to work out whatever it was they both needed to work out. In hindsight Alma wonders if that was a mistake, if trying to do things separately when both were already feeling a distance was the right move but it’s what they chose.

In total they were separated for 6 months, being cut off from the one person that she felt ever truly understood her and vice versa was torture but she considered it her penance for her mistake. When they reunited she was so hopeful, Tommy had got his drinking back under control and she had begun seeing a therapist to confront her own issues that had led to the infidelity, but sadly it was not to be. Tommy fell back into drinking, she stopped going to the therapist. They were still unable to conceive despite Alma reading every book and study on infertility and taking every recommended supplement. Eventually she began to feel that Tommy just stopped trying, he was forgetting Doctors appointments, anniversaries, birthdays. He was drinking or sleeping his days away. That feeling of isolation came back only this time she realized she wasn’t alone, Tommy's best friend was right there alongside her trying his best to help his friend and seeming to suffer just as much when nothing seemed to be helping. It started out slowly, the mutual pain of seeing someone they loved suffer and feeling unable to help let them grow closer. They began confiding in each other, supporting each other, being there for each other. He brought her to the hospital when she miscarried the pregnancy that she hadn’t even told Tommy about for fear that that very thing would happen, he held her while she cried and mourned the loss of the baby. They never intended to fall in love but they did. Perhaps Alma should have left then, perhaps less damage would have been done had they admitted it when it first started instead of carrying on a years long affair. It’s always been abundantly clear how stupid the excuse “we didn’t tell you because we didn’t want to hurt you” was to Alma, maybe that had been part of it for her but another part of it was that she still loved Tommy. Even through it all.

Tommy ended up catching her and her lover together, this marked the end of their marriage but it also marked the end of the friendship between Tommy and her lover. Word spread quickly throughout the small town and Alma came to the decision that Merrock was no longer a place she wanted to be, she needed to go somewhere away from all that pain both past and present. Her and her lover left Merrock together having come to the decision that they were going to make a go of it and see what it could be now that it could be a real relationship. In a twist of irony so great that it almost made Alma believe in God, because who else could have come up with something this fucked up, she ended up finding out she was pregnant during the divorce, after sitting down and running and then re-running the numbers the probable dates of conception were such that it could have either been Tommys or her lovers child. She kept it a secret up until she had hit what many consider to be the safe point of the 12 week rule, after she hit that point and had been assured by her Doctor that there was nothing to indicate that this baby would not carry to term. There were mixed emotions, this had been all she had been wanting for years and she was excited but there was still fear and more than a little guilt, in an attempt to lessen that guilt she let her partner know that there was a chance it could be Tommys. He wanted to tell Tommy but she didn’t, aware that since everything had happened Tommy was spiraling even further than he had previously. It wasn’t worth the risk on just the chance that it might be Tommys, she didn’t want to complicate his life any more than she already had but she also didn’t want her potential child to be exposed to Tommys current lifestyle. The “maybe” of the whole thing lasted up until her son was born, it seems ridiculous to say but the second she saw her son for the first time there was no doubt in her mind who the father was. Mateo was the spitting image of his father, his resemblance to Tommy has only gotten more and more apparent as he ages. Her partner wasn’t bothered knowing that Mateo wasn’t biologically his and still acts as a father to him even though Alma and him ultimately broke up. They were together for the first 4 years of Mateos life but ended up breaking up, the guilt that they both felt as to how the relationship had started ended up getting the best of them. They loved each other but there was just too much there, too much guilt and pain and what if’s and should haves. Despite the breakup her and her partner remained amicable, no love was lost between them and they wanted to show a healthy co-parent relationship for Teo. Her former partner still believes that Tommy should know about Teo, especially as he seemed to be doing better with his drinking but that that was an idea that Alma quickly shut down. He holds some resentment for the way she chose to do that, choosing to threaten him with only seeing Teo on certain holidays and birthdays.

Alma had always written poetry ever since she was young but in the after effects of the divorce and her pregnancy she felt such overwhelming and conflicting emotion that she found it impossible not to write, during her pregnancy she penned her first ever true collection of poetry. It was raw, it was honest, full of self hatred, resentment, vulnerability, love, grief. It was her life and her soul and her heart laid bare. She was terrified but she was done with hiding, done with lying. Perhaps it was part of her nesting process, needing to get all the past out of the way so that she could move into her present. Whatever the reason she began to release them throughout her pregnancy and eventually developed a following online, this led to a publishing house reaching out to her and the rest is history. It went on to be a bestseller, it turns out there were more people who could understand what Alma was going through then she thought. The dedication in her first poetry collection entitled “To Become a Villain” reads as follows: “So here it is, the whole truth laid out. The good, the ugly, the unforgivable. I wrote this for you, the love of my life. I hope one day this helps you understand…” There is no name given for that dedication, there has been a heated debate between her readers for years on whether the dedication is meant for her former husband or her lover. Alma has never weighed in on the debate, knowing that revealing the truth would mean the possibility of Tommy learning about his son which is not a risk she’s willing to take. Since publishing her first work things have only gotten better, she’s since released one or two fiction novels and a few other poetry collections as well.

Alma had only been back to Merrock once since she left, a few years after Teo’s birth her mother died and Alma having been the only child, as well as the only competent one between her and her father, it was up to her to arrange the funeral. She managed to plan most of it from a distance but of course when the day of the funeral came she was there in person, her and her parents had been estranged for years but the death of her mother hit Alma harder than she thought it would. The death of her mother meant the death of her small, naïve, stupid little hope that maybe one day they’d be able to reconnect. Her father didn’t cry, that’s what she remembers most about her mothers funeral. He just stood there, eyes bloodshot but not from any tears that had fallen in private. He was drunk…or hungover, maybe both. He looked frailer than she remembered, like maybe if she hit him he’d actually go down and she could repay every single bruise and wound he’d given her until he lay in the same hole as her mother. It was what he deserved, it was not what she gave. He couldn’t even look at her when she placed a gentle hand on his arm, the closest she could get to comforting him. She thinks it felt better than hitting him would have, thinks it hurt him more that she was gentle with him even after everything. He had not turned her into a cruel person, he had lost. She didn’t hang around town long after the funeral, she did stop in to see Tommy. He was drunk, she cried. She wonders if he remembers but doubts it.

Now she’s back in town again and for what will eventually be a similar reason she imagines to the first time, she received the call late one night that her father had been admitted to the hospital. Acute Liver Failure. The drinking had finally caught up to him. He’s still alive but barely, apparently he’d been in liver failure for some time and was now in what is referred to as “end stage liver disease” in the palliative care unit of the hospital in Merrock. She didn’t cry when she got the phone call, she didn’t cry as she packed some of her and Teo’s things and took off for her hometown, didn’t even cry when she called her former lover and explained vaguely what was happening and that she and Teo needed to stay with him temporarily. Part of her wonders if she’ll ever actually cry over her father or if she’d hit some sort of limit back when she was living in his house, part of her feels like a monster for it. Whatever her feelings, fears, and hesitations she’s back in town though she’s unsure of how long she’ll be staying.

𝑱𝑼𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑪𝑬 𝑺𝑴𝑰𝑻𝑯, 𝑯𝑬/𝑯𝑰𝑴 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑵𝑶𝑼𝑵𝑺, 𝑫𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑴𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑫𝑬

To KYLE TODD, the whole world looks like an open page. With a leap of faith, their ability of EQUID ( HORSE ) SUMMONING grows a little stronger. They are a HORSE shade aligned to NO ONE. For TWENTY TWO years, they have survived a world of magic with both their CRAFTINESS and OVER-CONFIDENCE. They work as an INSURANCE AGENT, but if they could change their fate, they’d want to BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL FOR HIS CLONES.

─── 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒.

As the winds of change sweep through the landscape, the cadence of "Welcome to the Party" by Diplo, French Montana, Zhavia Ward, and Lil Pump seems to accompany you and your little army of Toddlings, but this is nothing compared to the times when Old Town Road by Lil Nax X pumps through the stereo speakers. The echoes of your presence multiply with the presence of your Toddlings – clones born of a serendipitous encounter with a cloning mushroom. A product of eating the wrong thing at the wrong time is what allows the miracle that is replication. Their presence lends an illusion of fatherhood, disguising the temporal intricacies of their origin. You grace State Farm as an insurance luminary, ever-willing to bestow a deal upon those in need, and your diligence fuels your work to support your toddlings. You have help–– your adopted mother, Jessie, who embarked on a flight from Sombertown alongside you when you were just 16 loans her efforts as an adopted mother to all three of the extra Toddlings ( Aged 5, 7, and 12 ) Your lexicon dances in memes, your speech a modern linguistic web of internet culture. Uninhibited in your pursuit of the extraordinary, you've etched a reputation as a maestro of audacious exploits, a quality inherently you. Yet, within the bold facade simmers a traitorous overconfidence and capriciousness, a yin to your yang. Beyond the humdrum, you revel in clubbing and treasure hunts within thrift stores, savoring the simple joys.

─── 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒.

─── 𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒.

EQUID SUMMONING

The power to call forth Equids from anywhere no matter where they are to help them with a task. The user can create or summon large forces of horses to overtake an entire area and to overwhelm an enemy with vast numbers. The large force is connected through a Hive Mind. The strength of the resulting horde is associated with the very large quantity and is not necessarily reflective of any coordinated actions or tactics. Individual members of the hoard/swarm are usually treated as expendable.

VARIATION 1. EQUID COMPANIONSHIP

The users can form a powerful connection and bond with an equid companion or multiple Equids. The bond between the user and their Equid companion is so strong that nothing can drive them apart. The user either has a natural connection to Equids or is proficient in training and forming a bond with them. This ability doesn't just apply to the Horse (Equus caballus); this ability also extends to any and all other members of the Equine Family. E.G., the Donkey (Equus asinus), Mule (Equus caballus), Pony (Equus ferus caballus), and the Zebra (Equus zebra), etc. in addition to mythical members of the Equine Family such as Abadas, Alicorns, Bicorns, Carnivorous Horses, Fire Horses, Hippalectryons, Hippocampuses, Hippogriffs, Kelpies and their eviler and advanced version Each-uisge, Longmas, Pegasi, Sleipnir, Qilin, Uchchaihshravas, Unicorns, White Horses, etc. in addition to Horse-like creatures.

VARIATION 2. EQUID EMPATHY

The user can sense and/or understand the emotions of equine beings (Horses, Donkeys, Zebras, Mules, Unicorns, Pegasi and Hippocampi and others) and vice versa. This also works as Hive Mind where the herd "share" the same mind. In some cases, one person could take control of another separate body to add to the hive. Each can work autonomously, though they think the same thing at the same time. The members have little individuality, more or less they are only marionettes controlled by a puppeteer.

─── 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘.

LIAR'S LOCKET: This locket holds a small illusionary gem that Todd can use to create minor illusions. He can project images, sounds, or even mimic voices to deceive enemies or manipulate situations.
