BACKSTORY

Neera grew up among policemen and strong women, like her mother, and thus had a peculiar childhood. She was trained to fight, see beyond the white lies and uncover secrets and puzzles, which made her academically gifted during middle school and the majority of high school, until her father's murder in front of her eyes made her go through a huge burnout, her grades dropping to the point where doctors feared for her life... and a possible attempt to take it.

But, like a phoenix, she recovered after weekly therapy sessions and set her eyes on criminology, following into her father's footsteps. The year she got into university, her mother voluntarily went to a mental hospital to treat her own wounds, knowing that Tommy would take good care of her Neera. She'd die there three years later of a stroke.

She graduated top of her class, valedictorian and with a personal title bestowed by the dean for her philantropy and academic achievements, and was soon accepted in the police force, where she'd see that her father's world was nothing like she had pictured.

She soon caught wind of the corruption, favouritism and oppression within, especially within the big spheres, and soon started her private investigation of every corrupt cop and high standing character who backed it up, and brought it to the captain... to be shut down and kicked out of the police.

Again on the verge of an existential crisis, finding herself again on the stadium where her father was murdered's rooftop, she was about to do something regrettable when someone convinced her to stay: it was Mafalda Ginovesi, who had been keeping an eye on her. She avoided her second attempt on her life, bought her coffee and told her the perks of being a P.I. and crashed at her place, not ready to tell Uncle Tommy she had tried it again. The next day, she was recruited by Ginovesi's agency and started doing light work: missing teenagers, cheating partners and the kind, nothing big really happening, until she was given the Dormer case.

DURING THE SERIES

From the start, Sonja's disappearance was iffy to say the least, but it was the job and main breadwinner of the house. She wouldn't count on the company of an over-confident and annoyingly charming Drakovian princess, Trystan Thorne.

She was not thrilled at all, wanting for this to be over with, but when they found Sonja's body, it just spiralled further. Now partners with the intriguing princess, she begrudgingly brought her along, not fully knowing what she was getting into.

Undercover balls, late night break-ins and all that tryst, somewhere along the line, made her slowly fall for Trystan. From being annoyed at her advances to wanting more, the moment Trystan was shot by the killer and nearly died, she knew she wanted, nay, needed her in her life. They spent a passionate night together, where she was happy to nurse Trystan and, during those hours, discovered who the killer was.

They caught him successfully, but Marguerite's abduction caught them off-guard. Now, with a life on the line, they were forced to take the serial killer out of prison and into the mastermind's lair within thirty minutes.

They went into the greenhouse, where the whole plot was discovered before Neera's very own eyes: the old, sassy woman, Eleanor St-Claire, had been behind the true Hand of Mahra, ordering her pupil Tony Kowalski to kill three different kinds of women to satisfy their Gaulic triple goddess, Mahra, to 'ascend' and 'be the Chosen' of the goddess.

The fight against Eleanor and Tony nearly cost the life of Neera, and Eleanor perished in the fight, but Tony did not. They arrested him, and now they had one elephant in the room: Trystan was called back to Drakovia for her dead fiancé's shady death. The princess finally refused to leave Neera behind and both started getting back on track after putting behind the Heartache Killer.

Until Trystan was forced back to Drakovia, and Neera followed behind her, not aware of the danger she'd face ahead.

i just know kas!eddie would be so dramatic

[messervixen]

Lily should have survived.

“Harry was saved by his mother’s love-“ Let me stop you right there.

I present to you: James Fleamont Potter.

You’re telling me that James didn’t love Lily and Harry enough to evoke the ancient love magic that Lily saved Harry with?

Mr. “Had an ego the size of a lake but a heart to match it?”

He loved both of them so much that he literally died trying to give them a chance to escape and that wasn’t enough?

I don’t buy it.

The only semi-logical explanation I can come up with is that he didn’t have his wand and maybe you can’t do something like that wand-less but did Lily have her wand?

Even then we’re talking about a guy who literally became an illegal animagus at the ripe age of 15.

He also loves and cares for people so deeply and it was LOVE MAGIC.

Look me in the eyes and tell me James Potter couldn’t have just saved BOTH of them without his wand.

Exactly, you can’t.

Honestly I could go on about all of the reasons James and Lily dying didn’t even make sense.

This is just another thing that makes me question why they died the way they did.

Them dying on an order mission would’ve been more realistic. There were just too many plot holes in them dying in Godric’s Hollow.

In conclusion, the ending of the first war didn’t make sense. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Edit:

Guys this post is not that serious I just mean that everything about what happened that night and the explanation for all of it felt like a stretch and kinda vague to me 😭

Even with the stuff about James not having a choice. Like yeah Voldemort didn’t verbally give him the option to back off but James still made the choice to try and hold him off.

Also James was a Pureblood and Voldemort made it known that he would spare them if they didn’t fight him because his whole thing was blood purity.

So like the “Lily was given a choice” still feels so vague to me.

Also Voldemort making the promise to Snape feels weird. Snape asked him not to kill Lily but Voldemort said that he wouldn’t as long as she didn’t get in his way. And Lily did get in his way of killing Harry so he didn’t break that promise by killing her.

Yeah he probably could’ve just knocked her out or something but he still didn’t break any promises.

And the whole reason Snape joined Dumbledore before the end of the first war is because he didn’t think Lily would just let Voldemort kill her son. He didn’t make an unbreakable vow or anything so Snape knew that Voldemort would probably kill Lily.

a little update.. what i'm working on/prologue changes so far:

no prologue! it’s chapter 1 now

removed the option to leave clementine behind. you have to take them with you :3c

removed height options (sorry!)

in general, edited the cc to flow better

combat preferences have been adjusted-- all still the same but i've made it more obvious how each specialty works mechanically which will hopefully make fights more intuitive to win (or lose, if you want)

genderlocked the sibling. officially a Sister

edited a LOT of dialogue; hopefully it's an improvement and feels more natural

restructured the wraith fight so that it's consistent with the fight in blackwater. with the changes made to the combat preferences this should make the combat system overall cohesive now <- i'm still working on this currently but i am HOPING to finish it by the end of this month.

i have pretty much rewritten the entire prologue. wasn't my plan at the start but here we are... so things are quite different. but also the same. i also streamlined a lot of the choices & branches and cut/combined ones that i felt were just excessive.

i plan to update once i've finished making & importing these changes, and i will probably limit the demo to chapter 1 (previously the prologue) until i get through and edit chapter 2 (previously chapter 1) because i really don't want to have the demo be inconsistent for however long it takes me to get through the next edits. hopefully this will not take that long, and then i'll put chapter 2 & and part 1/what's already been published of chapter 3 back up. and then!!! i will move on to finishing chapter 3.

i know this probably isn't the update you all were hoping for but i'm excited for the next steps with tnp :-)

This past weekend, I was showing my friend my Marko jacket and explaining the different components. I was wondering aloud why these specific tapestries were picked for it and she goes “what if each one represents one of the other members of the Lost Boys?” It got me thinking, and it turns out that theory actually works.

The jacket is made up of five tapestries: two are the pinups, and the other three are velvet rugs, all from the same Italian company. The three velvet ones depict a peacock, a matador and a bull, and a leopard. 

Paul - The Peacock: The most obvious of the three. Like a peacock, Paul is loud, showy, and in-your-face. He spends most of his screen time in the movie strutting around, “peacocking” for everyone watching.

Dwayne - The Leopard: Dwayne's outfit has several leopard motifs in it, from the one painted on his jacket to his earring and necklace made of animal teeth and claws. He’s also the most physically intimidating of the boys, being the tallest and buffest. 

David - The Matador:  Matadors rule the ring, controlling the crowd, their assistants, and the animal they’re fighting. They’re a ringleader, like David. The way David lures Michael in is both strategic and theatrical, like a matador waving the red flag to encourage the bull to follow and charge when he desires. And in the end, how does David die? Impaled on horns, having miscalculated and gotten too close to a raging bull (Michael in this metaphor). 

Is this a stretch? Maybe. But costumes are an excellent way to silently convey character and tell stories. I think this set of headcanons is a really fun train of thought, and would explain why Marko chose those specific tapestries for his jacket.

bioware really said "let's release it on halloween... it's so terrible... it's gonna scare the shit out of everyone...the perfect halloween"

I should like to see my OC, Nicole, because she's (for now) my only fat character and she's such a complex but sweet girl, and I've been looking for an excuse to give her all the attention 🥺

Which of your OC/MCs would you want to see art of?

Give me ideas of any one or two characters and I’ll draw two of y’all to get a kofi art commission from @somewillwin (Gabi’s rules apply to this comm).

Ink October day 3: Sophistry

An argument that seems plausible, but is fallacious or misleading, especially one devised deliberately to be so.

[raethereptile]

Look @re-dracula having Jonathan reading the rights in the background was completely unnecessary. Heartbreaking, perfect, and expected; but, for the sake of my poor weeping heart, unnecessary.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Summary: Jon and Robb are investigating Daenerys and trying to figure out the best way to complete their mission. They finally catch a break, capturing a member of her guard, and Jon has hope he can finally get some answers on the intense attraction he feels towards Dany. But it turns out they weren't the only ones with tricks up their sleeves.

Preview: Yet again he had woken in a daze, his eyelids sticking together as he blinked in the dark, disoriented and wondering what was reality or dream. His brother’s worried face hovered over him, blurred at first, but becoming more clear with each waking moment. When Jon sat up with a groan, Robb rushed back a step to give him space to do so, squatting down to sit on a boulder.

They were back outside the city where their tent was hidden in between trees at the base of the sacred mountain that overlooked the Dothraki people.

“You alright?” Robb asked, reaching for a wineskin and handing it to him.

Jon took it, then recoiled at the ordinary human’s blood that filled it. That earned him a confused look from Robb, rightfully so. Vampires never turned down human blood once the aroma filled them, the frenzy starting at first sniff; even when one overindulges to the point they feel the uncomfortable slosh of their near bursting belly, they would drink it down greedily.

Instead, human blood smelled increasingly bland and unappetizing after each taste of her.
