firm believer there was no bedding ceremony when helaena and aegon married because she would cry and possibly kill someone

Alcina certainly had distinctive reactions to her daughters hitting puberty and also the daughters all had different reactions from one another. Also, the daughters were late bloomers; Bela and Daniela were over 16 and Cassandra was 17 so it was very new to them.

They all needed their mom when it happened but it was chaotic still.

Bela tried to tough it out and acted as if she wasn't fazed, just being very matter-of-fact about it because what would her mama say if she saw her freak out over something so mundane? But Bela couldn't fool her mother because Alcina noticed her pale face and slight shaking, like girlie was about to pass out and was acting nonchalant tho she did have a little panic moment when Alcina told her it was okay and that she could just-- Allow herself to feel all sorts of things.

Cassandra was the opposite. She was all panicky and loud wanting her mama and she did enough crying too because what is Cassandra Dimitrescu if not dramatic? There was some exaggeration of course, but she is also good at riling herself up so she made herself actually panic for no reason. Alcina was there with her because part of that dramatic personality is Alcina paying attention to it and fawning over her daughter. Which she did. Alcina was there to manage the freakout and stayed calm enough for Cassandra to finally calm down and listen to her.

Daniela was different. One, she has two older sisters so she knows what's up, and two, being the youngest it was Alcina freaking out this time, not Daniela. The youngest Dimitrescu walked casually into her mother's room one day declaring that she got her first period the day before (she told Bela first because she's trying to prove to her mother that she's capable of handling things on her own) and Alcina's reaction was "WHAT?!" Because what does she mean she is old enough now? The lady of the castle knows that she is being irrational, but Daniela is her baby, and having her grow up like that was jarring to Alcina.

Would that there was a faithful, accurate adaptation of Dracula so that Jonathan Decker and Alan Seawright could discuss the nontoxic masculinity, healthy friendships, and the BEST MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP IN FICTIONAL HISTORY but nooo!

i just think it's so funny that when *i* lash out and start bitching *about* management to my coworkers because of a stressful day at work, i get pulled into the office to discuss my attitude, but when a manager lashes out and bitches *at me* because of a stressful work day, i get a halfassed "oh sorry, but-" and i'm expected to roll over and take it.

let me preface this by clarifying i am not anti therapy in any way whatsoever and in fact encourage people to get therapy if they can and even go the extra step to help friends find the right type of therapy that may help them

ok now that that's out of the way.

therapy is bullshit man you go to a therapist saying "hey. i wanna kill myself. can you help me stop wanting to kill myself somehow?" and they go "sure! first step, stop wanting to kill yourself" and you say "well i can't. that's why i came to you. bc i don't know. how to stop wanting to kill myself" and they'll say "that's a shame. i can't help you if you want to kill yourself. that'll be 125$ please"

“My love—! You were right.”

Magnifico burst through the doors on his loud proclamation. “You were right.” He nearly bounded across the room to reach his queen's side. “You were right.” Dropping down in front of where she was seated by the fire, his palms cradled her face, steered her attention out of her book and to his admiring gaze.

“You were so, so very right. I've done it! The mess is...” Hesitation dripped into his words, though promptly overpowered by an excitement coursing his veins. “Well, the mess isn't quite cleaned up just yet—it's a work in a progress that I will be managing myself; don't go in my office—but the important thing here is the spell finally worked.”

His grin became fuller as his thumbs ran along her cheeks. “Have I told you recently how remarkable you are?”

// I told you he was going to be an excited puppy 🥺

Answered! || ((hhngnhhg don't look at me while I sob over how adorable Magnifico is 😭 THEY ARE TRULY THE CUTEST COUPLE EVER ASFLASDF))

It was a rare day in Rosas when the queen could spend the evening alone with a crackling fire and a good book. Miraculously, the kingdom had managed without her for the final hours of twilight...which also meant it had been a while since she'd discovered the latest magic-induced disaster quite literally painting her husband's office.

A few hours was usually as long as he needed. Just as Amaya began to ponder if it was about that time, the door to their bedchamber burst open. Perhaps even Magnifico's timing had become magical at this point. She indulged a private smile at the thought.

The excitement in her beloved's voice earned a laugh before she even looked up. She mentally marked her spot on the page just as Magnifico's tender hands drew her attention to meet an expression more dazzling than the wishes he treasured. Even after so many years her heart still melted beneath that look.

"I knew I was," she agreed, the playful dance of the fireplace reflected briefly in her gaze. But the hearth's warmth replaced it soon enough as she tilted her cheek into his palm. "And I knew it would." Truly, he was the remarkable one—especially when given the proper motivation.

"Only half as often as you praise yourself, my love." But he wouldn't be her Matteo if he didn't; a fondness which was spoken by her eyes. "You'll show me your successful spell soon then, won't you? With no mess this time?" Softer now, her bubbling laughter filled the space between them: meant only for their ears, for this fire-lit moment of simple, perfect happiness. "Honestly, I thought the red and blue spots on the walls worked rather well with the room. Very regal."

I stumbled upon the post of you talking about how you're trying to raise a son that won't hate himself for being male. From a young man to the mother of a young man, thank you. Honestly thank you so much. That will mean so so much for your kiddo, both now and for the rest of his life. I hope your mother's day is a joyous one :)

oh anon, many many hugs. and thank you. I hope you don't hate yourself either, you seem like a really kind and caring person. <3

okay so we all know the “the belt corrupts” theories but have y’all considered that maybe it’s the scarf? mjf isn’t like that, he’s just been exposed to the scarf’s influence for so long that it’s poisoned his mind completely. punk stole the scarf and kept it for like a week, and then his entire life spiraled out of control. even now he hears it whisper to him at night and freaks out and posts shit on insta stories. if mjf wants to break the curse he needs to realize that the scarf doesn’t love him and destroy it. scarf versus career match. all in london main event. total bloodbath
