#can't wait to see where this goes

[nostalgic-shamefest]

I know the girls are fighting and all but is anybody else super excited about a potentially messy, intertwined, complicated, non YA, hopefully maturely handled, with a side of self discovery, mlm love triangle with like some of the main characters of a big ass mainstream tv show???

[theramblingvoid]

There were a few ways I predicted a horticultural show could go wrong. Murderous plants, perhaps! Escaped mandrakes forming a choir! Fungal hivemind infection!

Rocks fall everyone dies, however, was NOT one of them -

[thesolaireslawyer]

Characters like Rachelle are amazing! the way their written are awesome to me- lol

[fallclasskids]

Swerve's House has become Bobby's World....

[iris-nonsense]

This subplot of the toys is incredibly interesting, it's the premise of an horror and a lot of things can be done with it

Yes, I am!

after i sent you that asl i realized how much more fun it would be if Oralie was alive during this whole thing, the plot mainly focused on forkle completely losing his mind to obsession over his brother and in turn finding Josie but i’m starting to think also having it be about both girls bonding with Oralie and having Oralie build a relationship with Josie’s (the twin) mom Regaila.

another thing about Josie her is actually kinda curly, identical twins  having a slightly different hair texture can happen with identical twins i’ve seen it before.

pros of Oralie being alive

i was originally making a pros and cons list but convinced myself in the process

Sophie and Josie having opposing parallels with Josie’s genuinely trusting afterlife finding out Oralie is their bio mom while sophie hated her afterwards

the drama that would caused by Josie’s mom being a pyrokintic, who BTW doesn’t have a problem with Josie building a relationship with her bio mom because she’s not worried about Josie loving Oralie more (that’s a genuine worry that some adoptive parents have but it’s SO overused, your kid can have more than one set of parents that they love)

dramatic scenes when it’s much more obvious that she’s their bio mom and the drama that would ensue from that, people wondering if the general public will figure it out (Oralie is forced to step down?)

Josie having doubts about Oralie even caring about her because she was an accident on the black swans end (her abilities are wonky because of it) and thinking that Oralie wouldn’t have done it i’d she had know that there would be twins

i can write a bio parent bonding with their bio child the way i’ve always wanted it to be written. keeping the adoptive parents still the parents and not having the relationship with the bio parent seen as more important (it’s a pet peeve of mine i’ll save the rant for another time)

i want Fintan to be their Bio dad and Josie knows and let’s it slip, cue drama, angery bronte yelling at Josie because she should have known it would upset Oralie because of Kenric, Josie loses control of her inflicting (which is highly unstable), and says she doesn’t even know who Kenric is (she grew up in the neutral territories) and that’s a whole thing because Bronte feels bad.

Keefe Sophie Joise and Oralie confront Frokle about something (Fintan?) and he has another breakdown (he’s slowly losing it throughout this fic) and ends up attacking sophie Oralie defends her and takes all three kids back to her castle in a panic

the last scene having Oralie protecting both girls from the everblaze (it’s important to the story ALSO parallels) possibly sacrificing herself? Forkle also dies in that scene so maybe to much?

most of the people in my family are adopted while i’m not one of them i still have STRONG feelings about how adoption is written, Shannon did amazingly and i will forever adore her ability to write adoption well without having the plot centered around adoption. i would honestly want to expand on that.

Ahh YES

Just... yes to every single word

First off, Forkle losing his mind to obsession? And Oralie defending her kids? Okay YES. And then her sacrificing herself to save them from the Everblaze is also YES- and something that I really actually think might happen in the book.

This sounds amazing backwards and forwards. I LOVE the Fintan-is-Sophie's-dad theory (if anyone wants to hear it I could go into heavy detail on why I think he's the only possibility that really makes sense, but I know that's a topic that's been discussed a lot). So even if it's not canon I would love it in this AU. And Josie being a pyrokinetic? And Oralie having to deal with that after what happened with Kenric? Yes!

And I love what you said about adoption! I also love the way Shannon handled it. But since you're someone who has adopted family members I'm glad it is handled well from your perspective.

Any questions you have or things you want to work out (especially characterization/development surrounding Oralie) send them my way! I love when people talk about their AUs so anyone else that has one/any other AUs you end up having feel free to invade my inbox at any time!

yes akio did love arata STOP I JUST READ YOUR TAGS AND. YEAH yeah hiyuu and kei have A LOT of parallels (and i'm not just talking about their relationship with pain haha..) 😭😭 that's why i wanted to make them interact so bad..

oh also just a small correction: hiyuu doesn't really think that pain is "the only suitable punishment", but more like. he doesn't want anyone to die, but also still needs to punish them, so.. yeah, he just goes for punishments that can make people lose the ability to do stuff, for example, make them slower, make them weaker, etc, but he also says that physical punishments are "tasteless". yeah, he's more into psychological torture <3

he honestly scares me a lot because if eiji punishes everyone in such a cruel way because he wants to show that he's "stronger" or "better" than them and isn't actually as sadistic as everyone thinks he is, hiyuu is more gentle, but in a "come on, you can handle this, right? :) just tell me if it's too much. but i know you're strong enough ^^" way. sure, he will let you have a break if you need it, but you'll be in too much pain when you get one so it'll end up being useless.

Lina at the end of trial 1: There's gonna be a third guard and he's more of the morally grey type

Me: Oh cool! :D

Lina at the end of trial 2: So he's more into psychological torture

Me: 😨😨😨

i rewatched the spider-verse movies so im thinking about miles atm but you have a couple posts about him and LoF so i was just wondering what would the bats opinions be on him ??

oh, they're gonna love him. peter has quite a few pupils in the future, but miles is his legacy. carrying on that spider-man name and making it his own? miles is practically his little brother in the future, his pride and joy. the Bats are older too around this time so they each have different dynamics with miles. bruce is leaning towards fully retired by the time peter is in his mid twenties (i think bruce is like 53 when peter is 25?). by the time miles comes around they're used to having students and a bunch of family so he is welcomed with open arms

[slippinninque]

OOOoooooo I am SAT for this one! I have so many questions, I can't wait for them answers!!

edges of my mind. (in the works).

A/N: I know this isn't my usual fluff and smut, I wanted to try my hand at a psychological thriller type of story. So let me know what y'all think!

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

“What are you hiding from me?” She asks for the fourth time in ten minutes, growing more and more agitated and his fidgety body language.

“Nothin' Roni, I said to drop it.” He huffs, pushing past her once more.

“I'll drop you on your ass, Moonie. Quit walking away from me.”

“Woman,” he sighs, turning to face her. “I don't wanna say something I'll regret, so please leave it be.”

She breathes through her nose as he turns away from her to sit at the table. Her family stares at the couple awkwardly, wondering if they should say something or not.

Taking a seat beside him, she stares at the red velvet cake in the middle of the table, and the old kitchen knife next to it.

It was a little rusty since it'd been in the family for a generation or two, but it was still getting the job done so Roni kept it.

Soon, the awkwardness left the air and little conversation started here and there, but Roni was still fixated on what Moonie could be hiding in that closet.

“What's in the closet?” She asks, again. This time, it was very calm.

“Roni, please. Not now.”

“Then when?” She asks, she stares in his direction.

“I-I,” he starts, failing to finish his sentence, much to her dismay.

“You're a liar. So full of shit, I knew you were cheating on me.” She humorlessly chuckles, gaining everyone's attention again.

“What? Moonie, how could you?” Brenda, Roni’s older sister says.

“I'm not cheating on you, Roni! What the hell is your problem?”

“My problem? The only thing I've been trying to get done was you giving me the answer to the simple fucking question I asked you,” she yells, leaning over to cover her niece's ears.

“Stop cussin’ in front of that baby,” he shakes his head, “I'm not doing this with you, right now.”

“Why not??” She screams.

“Because it's not that fucking simple! Why won't you just fucking drop it!?” He yells back, getting in her face.

It wasn't until after she'd already picked up the knife and stabbed him, that she'd realized the gravity of what she'd just done.

Everyone in the kitchen shuffled about, their younger sister, Janet, grabbing the knife from Roni, moving a bleeding Moonie to the bathroom, ridding him of his stained shirt to patch his wound, moving the kids up and away from the kitchen altogether to the living room that's deeper into the house.

“Jesus Christ, Roni!” Her mother yells, “what the hell is going on with you two?!”

“He w-wouldn't tell me.. I didn't mean t-to..” she shakes, unable to finish her sentences.

“Lord, Janet!” She calls out, grabbing a hold of her arm as she passes by the room Roni is in. “Janet honey, watch your sister while I go and clean up this mess. We've got guests coming in like twenty minutes!”

“Aw, I thought we were gonna play hide the murderer!”

“Very funny. Sit down.”

Turning back down the hall, she finds Brenda soaking the shirt in bleach in the bathroom.

“Where'd Moonie go?”

“He went out back, said he needed to get away from the smell of bleach of sumn,” she shrugs. “It doesn't bother me.”

“That's cause you put it on your scalp every other month.” She says, before walking back to the kitchen and out the back door.

“Son, I don't know what you and my Roni have going on but this is way too dangerous!” She sterns, looking in his sad eyes. They looked more droopy than usual.

“I'm sorry.” Is all he can get out, before he turns back to the trees.

“That's all you have to say, boy?”

“Unfortunately, I can't tell Roni what's going on. It's more complicated than she thinks.”

“Why don't you tell her that?”

“Well, she did just stab me,” he chuckles, wincing soon after. He grabs his wrapped side.

“Well I don't condone violence, so I'll definitely be talking to her about that. Why don't I go and get her? Maybe you two can talk?”

He looks over his shoulder at her wearily, as if he was afraid to see her again.

Mama excused herself anyway back into the house to retrieve Roni, who reluctantly agreed of course.

“Just talk to him. He seems sadder than usual. I think something might really be wrong.”

She sighs, before pushing through the door, only to find the space he stood in, now empty.

“I thought you said he,” she trails off, feeling her hands go numb.

“He was just out here, honey. Maybe he took off through the neighborhood?”

“Or maybe he took off, period.” She sighs, suddenly feeling sick.

“Well, he's patched up, at least he won't bleed out on the way to wherever he ran off to. Let's get you back inside.” Mama says, grabbing her left hand.

Twenty minutes later, the house is filled with family and friends, music spilling from the house to the streets where games are being played, drinks are flowing and gossip is hot.

“Roni, you good? Where's Moonie?” One of her uncles asks.

“I don't know, he took off earlier. Haven't seen him since.”

“Y'all get into it again?”

“Mhm. Same ol’ shit, unc. I don't wanna talk about it.”

“I got you, baby girl. Take my drink, I'll grab another.” He says, handing off his wine cooler.

“You better be glad it's my favorite flavor,” she dryly laughs, knocking it back without a thought.

Soon, she'd be on her fifth one and wobbling around the neighborhood with Brenda, trying to find her wounded lover.

“You think he's mad at you?”

“I guess I can't blame him for that, can I? I did stab him with a rusty knife, after all.” She laughs.

“Maybe he deserves it, Roni.” She stops in her tracks, looking at her intoxicated sister.

“What?”

“You heard me. I hate the way he talks to you! I never understood what you saw in him. He's arrogant. A know-it-all, a gaslighter!”

“Okay, okay… calm down. I know he's not the best man in the world. He's very much a gaslighter, but he turns on his charm and I just lose my mind, B. I don't know whether I'm coming or going sometimes with Moonie. He's got my head all screwed up!”

“I know! Look at where the hell you got us at!” She yells, making the birds in the trees overhead scatter.

“Brenda, what do I do?”

“Leave his crazy ass alone! Let the shadows he disappeared into swallow him up. He's no good for you, sis. You're gonna lose your whole mind if you keep this up.”

“What if he tells the cops?”

“You think he'd do that?”

“I don't know, we've never gotten into this much trouble arguing about shit. I'm not even scared, but what if he is.”

“Maybe he should be. You had enough.”

On the other side of the big oak tree, Moonie stood there, listening to them talk.

On one hand, he was terrified out of his mind that he'd pushed her to the point of harming him, never thinking she had it in her. But on the other hand, he wasn't sure if he even began to explain himself to her, that she'd understand.

“Of course I'd understand! That's all I try to do with his sorry ass!”

“Let's go deeper by that creek y'all like to hang by, maybe he's there and you can get the rest of your frustrations out.”

But he wouldn't be there. In fact, once they passed the tree, he'd disappeared right into those very shadows.

Yall should go read @avatarkurukdefender's fic 'A Literal Team Avatar'

Wanted to draw some moments from the first chapter and it's been forever since I drew these characters, so it was nice to be inspired to do so again

[id: a digital illustration. The image depicts 3 doodles of teenage Roku, Kuruk, Kyoshi, and Yangchen; each in monochrome colours of red, blue, green, and orange respectively. Top left shows Kuruk holding up his animal pelt above his face with a joyful expression. Next to him is Kyoshi. Her headwear is crooked and she has a hand raised to her face. She is smiling with Kuruk. Above them reads 'affectionately bullying a 14 year old'. Top right has Roku looking up at Yangchen with a peeved expression as he is now the shortest. Yangchen has a sympathetic smile as she looks at Roku. The bottom drawing is of Roku hitting Kuruk's pelt over his face with the latter making an aggravated noise. /end id]
