#can you tell I’m projecting

[ironyscleverer]

One aspect of Stolas and Octavias relationship that I think deserves a little more attention is the fact that Stolas is traumatized as Fuck, and growing up with a traumatized parent can have a pretty profound impact on you as a kid. Even if they’re a good parent, even if they try their hardest in every way, their issues always seem to have a way of making themselves known. So even though Stolas clearly loves Via to bits, and she him, I wouldn’t be surprised if her relationship with Stolas was more complicated than what we see onscreen, even beyond the “abandoned her for some random imp” of it all.

There’s not a lot of discussion of this in canon, understandably since most of Stolas and Octavia’s immediate issues stem from the divorce, but there’s a hint of it in Loo Loo Land, when Stolas talks about how much Via used to love seeing RoboFizz:

It’s pretty clear in this scene (at least to me) that Stolas is projecting his own love of clowns onto Via, who was in fact terrified by RoboFizz as a child. He goes so far as to misinterpret her tears as “tears of joy.”

That’s a pretty weird detail, and doesn’t really have anything to do with the Divorce, so there’s any number of ways to interpret it. At first, given Stolas’s character in season 1, it comes across as self-absorbed, but looking back, i could see how that self-absorption might be Stolas’s response to always ignoring his own needs and wants for the sake of others. Think about it—Stolas spent 17+ years believing he couldn’t make choices about his own life, and constantly sacrificing his freedom and well-being for others (his father, his wife, his daughter). He spent well over a decade being abused in order to give his daughter a normal, happy childhood. If he’s convinced himself his desires don’t matter, one way around that is to do things because “Octavia likes them.” So if he convinced himself Octavia liked clowns,,, you get the idea.

So anyway, in Sinsmas this side of Octavia’s childhood isn’t really the main issue, but I like to think she is starting to realize not only how weird and sad her dad always was, and how much that may have affected her upbringing. We see a tiny hint of this when she confronts Stolas about his pills:

Of course, Octavia doesn’t know the full story, but she knows enough to be upset. She knows that Stolas was unhappy enough to need the pills, and he stayed in that environment for her. Thats a lot to process at 17. It’s not a nice feeling to realize your childhood was an extension of your parent’s trauma. It’s also not fun to realize your parent chose to harm themself for you, even if they did it to protect you. It makes you feel used, like you’ve been made into an accessory to hurting someone you love. In my mind, Octavia is processing all of this, AND that her dad ran off with a random man.

All this is to say, by my wildly non-canonical interpretation, I really feel for both Stolas and Octavia in this situation. For Stolas, making his own choices and following his instincts for once was important for him to do. For Octavia, it’s reasonable for her to feel upset at her dad, perhaps for more reasons than she realizes. She’s looking back on her relationship with Stolas, and how he raised her, and reevaluating everything. Their relationship is changing, and I hope we get to see a bit of that reflected in season 3.

I don’t want perfect characters. I don’t even want these pretentious, amazing characters who are perfect and have one slip-up and oh no! See? They’re not so perfect after all *takes a drag off of a cigarette*

No, please just- give me all the truly broken characters, the ones who have truly fucked up, the confused and complex ones, the nerds who fail at school, the lovers who can only show anger, the poets and painters who stifle their screams and kick themselves at night. Give me the characters mischaracterised by the GA (i’m looking at you mike wheeler), the characters who grew up feeling wrong without really doing anything that off, the characters who hurt themselves and their loved ones just to feel something, to fit in, to find their place, to be somebody other than themselves.

Please give me the characters who don’t know what they want out of their lives. The confused and lost ones, the ones who hate themselves so much they punish others, the ones who love others so much they punish themselves, the ones who laugh unapologetically, who snark at people, the losers that nobody wants. The ones dreaming of running away, the ones trying new things only to give up, the ones giving up on themselves just to try new things, the ones who lie to themselves so much, they’ve created a new reality.

Give me all these characters that feel like they are nothing, who try really hard to be something only to end up feeling like they didn’t try hard enough, but everybody is like “yeah you are trying” HOW DO YOU KNOW? The characters that try things from novels and movies, but their lives are blunt, so it’s not the same. Give me the characters who destroy their friendships and hate themselves for it and devote themselves to making everything right again. The ones who believe others hatred for them. The ones who feel like themselves only when somebody else is there to witness them. If nobody’s there to see me, do i really exist?

The ones who feel left out and never understood, that speak their minds and are loud and ramble non-stop, that are called overly sensitive but they don’t try to change themselves because although they hate everything that they are, they are way too stubborn to succumb.

Give me the losers, the feelers, the poets, the tortured ones, the ones who haven’t felt anything so profound to be called tortured, the ones who prefer pain over boredom, the ones who don’t know who they are.

People don’t want perfect characters because nobody relates to them. We only envy them. Give us real characters- give us fucked-up little shits.

Lucifer x Insecure!Reader - “Let me show you…” (NSFW)

You knew this day would come, the day Lucifer would see all of you; the day where nothing was hidden

And that terrified you to your very core

For as long as you could remember, there were things about your body that you absolutely loathed

How would he react when he saw you? Would he be disappointed? Disgusted? Maybe he would rethink your whole relationship

You kissed him desperately, but shrank away from him when he tried to lift up your shirt

“Sweetheart? What’s the matter? Did I do something wrong? I’m sorry if I-”

“No…no, you didn’t do anything wrong, Lucifer…”

“What is it?”

“I’m sorry…I’m…I’m just scared…”

“Scared? I’m not sure I understand.”

“My body…the way I look…I hate it. I hate it, Lucifer, and I’m terrified of what you’ll think if you see it…”

Lucifer frowns and crawls his way over to you, cupping your face in his hands

“Who did this to you?”

“W-What?”

“Who made you feel this way? Who made you think you weren’t beautiful? Because the deepest pits of Hell isn’t a good enough punishment for them.”

“You…You haven’t seen me…you don’t know…

“It doesn’t matter if I haven’t seen what you look like. It doesn’t matter. Because I love you. I love you for who you are, not for your body.”

Lucifer pressed his lips to yours passionately, with more fervor than he ever has before; as if he was devouring you

“Love, say the word and we can stop right now. If you’re not ready for me to see you, then that’s your choice. But please know that nothing about you could scare me away. I love all of you, even the parts I haven’t seen.”

You felt tears well up in your eyes at his sweet words, which were quickly wiped away by his hands as he gazed at you adoringly

With a shaky breath, you lifted up your shirt and threw it to the side without warning

You didn’t dare look Lucifer in the eyes as you did, terrified of knowing how he would react

The silence was deafening; you folded your arms over you chest ready to apologize before you heard him speak

“Oh darling…you’re perfect…”

Your head shot up in surprise and the look on Lucifer’s face was something you never expected

He was enraptured

Catching you off guard, Lucifer pounced, forcing your back against the mattress

“Please, my love, let me show you how completely breathtaking you truly are…”

You don’t remember how you lost your bra in the shuffle, but Lucifer’s mouth were on your nipples in an instant; licking and biting and sucking on them all while moaning against your sensitive skin

It was pure heaven

His one hand ran down your stomach, slipping past the seem of your pants and undies, easily finding that sensitive nub

You cried out in pleasure, holding Lucifer as close to your chest as possible

You heard a small chuckle leave his lips as he pulled away from your nipple and flashed you a soft smile

“Please…I need to see more…”

You nodded hesitantly, but he made quick work of your remaining garments

Laying there naked before him felt paralyzing, you couldn’t bring yourself to look him in the eyes

That was until you felt his hands on your knees

“Devine~” was all he could say

You swallowed hard and let your legs fall open for him slowly

“F-fuck…”

Lucifer’s head was between your thighs before you even know what happened; the way your body shook as his tongue delved deep into your folds felt nothing short of pure ecstasy

He lapped you up eagerly, gripping your thighs with such intensity that you knew he would leave bruises; but in that moment you couldn’t care less

You came hard around him as he drank you up happily, licking you clean and swallowing your release

His breathing was staggered as he looked up at you, his half lidded eyes filled with nothing but lust and desire

“If anyone so much as thinks that you are less than perfect, I’ll make them regret their afterlife …”

“Lucifer…” you laughed, more tears threatening to fall

“Don’t cry, my angel, I need you to know that I meant every word I said. Besides, I’m nowhere near done with you yet, and I don’t think I ever will be again.~”

no way, wait I never knew this! how…useful 👀👀 I wonder if healing magic does any good to the empowered gingers in dahlia….

here’s a friendly and gentle reminder that:

that scar on asher’s abdomen will never heal over. the gash left by the shade was so deep and merciless, the damaged nerves trapped beneath the mangled tissue still deliver sharp, stabbing sensations from time to time. on the outside, asher will just wince, but his mind relives the event from start to finish in milliseconds.

milo’s motion sickness is worse. that is, if he had it to begin with. sweetheart is confident that he didn’t, but their partner refuses to link his churning stomach on long car rides or bumpy roads back to that day he brought down the ward. just thinking back to the moment he was conscious and trying to gasp for air makes him…it makes him sick.

david’s ears still ring with grueling screams. he hears them everywhere, even when they aren’t on his mind. police sirens, the jingle of his car keys, even the church bells at his wedding. the last one he will never let angel know about, but they saw it in his eyes that day. they know.

You’ve already met Alioth, but his boyfriend surely finds it lovely to meet your acquaintance as well. Maybe too lovely… keep an eye on that one.

PINTEREST BOARD:

When Babe is angry and needs to just get it out, Asher will play wrestle with them on the couch/living room floor. He matches their strength so that he isn’t overpowering them but not going super easy on them so they can get out their anger. After Babe gets tired out Asher will either shift into wolf form and give them wolf cuddles, or rest his head on their stomach or chest in human form like a weighted blanket (whichever Babe prefers).

Wedding quilt progress is going slow but sure. I’m a little concerned about math given how the shapes shift only half to the side each row. I suppose I’ll just keep some of the material extra and reserved so if I need to last minute add half a jewel it’ll be fine.

Alright, just to say what am I doing at the moment, to explain why i post so little

yes I know that the uncolored things look confusing and the last one looks suspicious
