Writing lines for potentially unleashing your man here???

For getting pulled into limbo??

[huldrabitch]

Something something the idea of a character all about death and the dead and the fragments of previously living beings spirits. A character who finds passion and care and respect for the end of life and the small bits that remain after life has finished. Someone who finds humanity in someone needing to find their rest and going out of their way to help them get there regardless of gaining nothing. Meanwhile, the antagonist of the game essencially has many of his actions driven by the guilt and regret of in some ways creating death and dying. Because what could be more terrible than nothingness. And how could it ever be forgiven that he created the end of an existence that was supposed to be endless?

the world of john wick is very interesting and absolutely beautiful to me because of how much you could explore with the characters and the fact that many of their backstories are left vague or just straight up not even told

"He didn't have a choice"🥺🥺 yes he did. But he made the wrong one. It might have been influenced by a number of external circumstances and internal turmoil, but it was still his choice. That's the point of the story

the thing about that dnd post is that like. ironically all the guys who are high and mighty about Normal Human Communication are failing to understand that implicit communication like 'are you sure?' depends on context clues and when you're making up a thing that isn't real those context clues don't actually exist. even if you have lovingly spent hours describing every part of a battlemap you might still have a different idea of it in your mind than your players do, because it isn't real, the only consensus reality built up is the one built up by the communication between players at the table. and of course i prefer that this kind of communication is done 'above-table' because i don't care about 'immersion' and instead enjoy collaborative storytelling--e.g. "if you do that, there's a good possibility that you'll die."

but even if that kind of 'immersion' is really valuable to you and you want to be making decisions as your character instead if for them--your character exists in the situation and they should know a lot about it and so you and the GM should still be actively working to establish consensus reality for those decisions to make sense in, e.g. "you've encountered this sort of powder before and you're pretty sure if it goes up in flames it'll be the sort of fire that you can't outrun". if it really matters to you that you're not told directly about consequenes because 'your character wouldn't know that', i think it's also fair to say that your character wouldn't be imagining a completely different reality to the one that exists and making their decisions based off that. no matter whether you take the 'writer's room' or 'actor' approach to roleplaying, clear and explicit communication about the situation is always the best way to make sure everyone has a nice time with their brain blorbos

A concept romantic for Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel?

For the king of hell in this universe... He isn't the most intimidating yandere.

Yandere! Lucifer Morningstar Concept

(Hazbin Hotel)

Pairing: Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Clingy behavior, Fear of abandonment, Possessive behavior, Isolation, Kidnapping, Denial, Forced relationship.

Lucifer, despite being the King of Hell in this universe, isn't the worst yandere here.

That's surprising to say considering his name and title.

I can't tell if he's someone fast to obsess or not.

Lucifer no doubt clings to an obsession if they give him some sort of attention...

Although I also think he'd be in denial of his attraction to you.

Lucifer seems like he still isn't over Lilith, shown by the fact he still wears his ring.

He's spent a long time cooped up in his castle just making rubber ducks in an attempt to cope with his depression.

So him actually speaking to someone new is rather... awkward at first.

Perhaps in his concept you work with Charlie in some way.

Maybe you're a Sinner who wants to be redeemed or just wants to help Charlie?

You meet Lucifer when he's called to visit the hotel and he immediately surprises you.

Humans seem to make him seem more intimidating, yet here he is... a socially awkward, theatric, and short king.

It's a bit baffling, but you manage to remain respectful.

Lucifer first encountering his obsession is a bit... strange.

He is simultaneously grandiose and insecure at the same time.

It's a weird combination, especially if he finds you attractive.

He's surprisingly stuttering, following over his words with awkward smiles.

There's times he awkwardly side-eyes his daughter, hoping he isn't making a fool of himself in front of you.

He's awkward around you for a number of reasons.

But you could argue your appearance or personality makes him distracted at first.

His obsession no doubt takes place in an AU after the death of Adam.

This would give him enough time to get to know you since his obsession is slow.

Lucifer is rather conflicted at his newly developing feelings.

After all, he keeps looking down at the ring on his finger...

Plus, well, what would Charlie think?

It would be a betrayal to Lilith and his daughter if he had feelings for you, right?

This would be one of the reasons he's reluctant to act on anything.

However... You do not make it easy on him.

On purpose? Not at all....

Unfortunately, you just being you has him hooked.

Even more so if you try to follow in Charlie's footsteps and comfort him.

Ironically for a Sinner... You're good company.

Makes him wonder what you did that made you stained enough to get sent down here....

In terms of his general yandere behavior, Lucifer is charming and loud, he's prideful as that's his Sin.

Ironically in this universe he's also a bit insecure, needing his obsession to feed his ego.

He's almost scared to love again.

He worries if he does, he'll be punished in some way like when Lilith left and took Charlie.

It makes sense Lucifer would be charming or seductive based on his charismatic nature....

But sometimes it seems like a front?

Lucifer would probably use his obsession as a way to cope more than his ducks eventually.

He doesn't like to think of the fact he's falling in love again... yet he can't deny it forever.

So... He tries to keep it subtle.

Lucifer ends up at the new hotel more often, claiming it's to watch Charlie and keep an eye on Alastor.

However, that isn't the only reason.

Lucifer is also keeping an eye on you.

Watching you makes his heart flutter and it... feels so familiar.

Lucifer still struggles to part with his ring, but alone at night he tries his best.

His obsession takes time... but it coaxes him into getting over his grief.

Lilith isn't coming back for him....

All he has is his daughter... and...

You.

You just know soon he's going to give in and start trying to charm you.

He'll deal with the consequences later... His whole life has consequences....

Lucifer doesn't want to be alone anymore.

It's at this point he gives up his denial... and accepts the fact he needs you.

It's small, like asking how you are or giving playful comments.

But playful comments and flirting soon escalate to Lucifer venting at you... and eventually clinging to you since you're the only one who comforts him and gives attention.

Once he gets over his guilt, you are his coping mechanism.

At first he claims it's just because you're friends through Charlie.

Yet then he's flirting with you, offering to give you anything you want for your attention.

In a way I can see him spoiling his obsession since, y'know, King of Hell.

It's a similar situation to Vox, except Vox has his obsession under much higher security.

Lucifer is highly manipulative, even trying to come up with reasons for you to come with him to his home.

He's a lonely man who clings to the first person who pays attention to him....

You try to talk him out of things or decline offers...

Only for him to guilt you into listening.

Lucifer is a selfish king, although that might've been obvious.

He may even ask you to date him in secret.

Charlie doesn't need to know... but he needs the company.

Lucifer is more likely to trap and isolate you than kill anyone.

Demons are his citizens, after all.

Instead he seems like he'd lure you to his castle for a chat, no doubt another vent session.

Only for him to lock the doors... begging you not to leave him.

For a supposedly prideful king, Lucifer seems rather vulnerable around you.

He seems like he'd cling to your legs, begging you to be his with tears in his eyes.

While he can sometimes act like a possessive animal around others, like Alastor, usually he's always searching for praise from you.

He wants you to love him, to focus on him.

He'll do anything for you to just accept him.

He spoils you with gifts, outfits, essentially pampers you like his little doll for comfort.

He'd probably even force his obsession to cuddle him so he can feel cared for.

You wanna bet he's a little spoon?

Despite Lucifer being prideful and boisterous around most other demons.

With you? Submissive.

Lucifer probably wouldn't keep you in chains.

He may get away with locking you in his castle, but he wants you to be able to roam.

So you hopefully won't need to be locked in one room.

Lucifer is willing to do anything to experience love again.

Be it bribery or imprisonment... He needs you to love him...

One way or another you WILL love him... Hopefully....

SATURN CONJUNCT NORTH NODE SYNASTRY| ASTRO SYNASTRY SERIES

Saturn conjunct north node synastry is similar to mars square Saturn synastry that I’ve already covered. I compared mars square Saturn synastry to that of a parent/child relationship where the mars person was like a child or immature person being with a more seasoned, mature, and no-nonsense kind of person. I find that Saturn conjunct north node synastry has the same qualities and vibe.

There’s a profound misconception in the astrological world that the south node, opposite to the north node, should be negated and moved away from and that’s a misleading and damaging perspective to have because the south node is who we are and have been. If anyone finds that they have changed and are no longer who they once were and or in a place they’ve once been in, that’s because they have grown in that particular area. None of us would be where we are today if it wasn’t for the past, both good and bad. The past is the south node and should never be disregarded.

The south node dictates and gauges our growth as people and in this case relationships.

I used to fall for sweet nothings, hard d*** and bubble gum, which is my past that I’ve thankfully grown from through trial and error. I used to be naïve until life or a person played the role of Saturn in my life to push me into maturity and growth which is another way to perceive the north node. I needed the south node as a footstool to grow into my north node. If I was like most people, I would negate the south node and ultimately never learn or grow. The past dictates your future, FOR THE GOOD OR BAD. ANYONE SPEAKING ON MOVING AWAY FROM THE SOUTH NODE OR ACTING AS IF IT’S BAD IS WRONG. SURE, CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE BAD WHEN YOU’RE OPERATING IN SOUTH NODE ENERGY BUT ANYONE SUCCESSFUL OR MATURING USE THE SOUTH NODE AS MOTIVATION.

ULTIMATELY NEVER FORGETTING WHERE THEY CAME FROM SO TO SPEAK. THE ASTROLOGY AND TAROT COMMUNITY SPEAKS ON THE SOUTH NODE AS IF OTHERS NEED TO FORGET IT COMPLETELY AND THAT’S NOT RIGHT.

With that understanding, we can move on to interpreting this synastry aspect.

As always, Saturn is the disciplinarian in any synastry aspect. There’s yet another misconception that Saturn governs lessons in life when in actuality, Jupiter is. The beloved Jupiter is the teacher dishing out lessons. Jupiter gives out our lessons and for some they are hard but everyone rather blame Saturn for anything hard. Saturn is the disciplinarian when we do not learn the lesson. Saturn is the consequences for our lack of action or overcoming in a particular error.

I find myself educating while trying to interpret this synastry aspect and that’s the vibe for the north node person in this synastry. Anytime Saturn is involved it’s because someone is not learning, growing or in simpler terms “not getting it” and so therefore, consequences are issued out. Most people want to blame anyone and everything but themselves when their life and, in this case, relationship is getting hard, and that mentality is equivalent to most people blaming Saturn for things being hard in their life.

Example. The north node person can be a cheater and has always gotten away with it before, like south node energy.

Think of it like this. You���re in school and you’ve always cheated on your test without getting caught. You’ve gotten so far in your schooling because you’ve been evading studying and resorting to cheating and then you come across a new teacher who dishes out harder test and homework. You get exposed, caught even and then there’s consequences. The teacher is Jupiter and Saturn is the consequences.

As the north node person, your south node behaviors get exposed. What you’ve always done isn’t going to work anymore therefore, initially as the north node person- you will try to blame the Saturn person as someone who is making this synastry difficult when really, your old behaviors are the problem. Casting blame on everyone else but yourself is what causes consequences and difficulty in this synastry. The Saturn person is just easier to blame instead of self-i.e. the north node person.

I used to blame those hard d*** sweet talkers in the past for hurting me, lying to me, and cheating on me and I kept making the same mistakes because it was everyone but me. Those liars and cheaters were playing the role of Saturn to me. I was the victim, the south node person. However, it wasn’t util I took accountability that I not only no longer attracted liars and cheaters, but I also matured into my north node energy. I no longer have consequences to suffer through. I learned that I was the problem, not those liars and cheaters.

The difference with mars square Saturn synastry is the mars person rebelling and being angry at the Saturn person because the Saturn person expects more and believes the mars person can be more. With Saturn conjunct north node, the energy is about taking accountability for your actions, past behaviors that are being repeated and owning your punishments, consequences- like being cheated on constantly and not learning from it.

What is the common denominator? Who is the common denominator?

As I always say, conjunctions do not guarantee roses sometimes conjunction hit harder than square and oppositions. You may think (wrongfully) the person you have a conjunction with is on your side and will agree with you harmoniously but sometimes two of same thing exemplifies the energy in a negative manner. There isn’t a balance, and you can’t play the player so to speak with those you share a conjunction in synastry with. A lot of people try to get over or take advantage of someone else who is opposite to them but when someone is the same, thinks, acts, and feels the same way as you- it’s harder to get away with things or play games.

The north node conjunct Saturn gives off the energy of “you got the right one today”. Again, Saturn is only employed in any synastry to reveal that someone in this mix needs consequences for not learning when they had the opportunity. The beloved Jupiter is the teacher, and some teachers are nice until they get taken advantage of or disrespected long enough and then the principle, a higher authority, or a parent gets involved and there’s no more games.

It’s ass whooping time.

The north node person in this synastry is still the south node person and the Saturn person has come in to whip them into shape to mature into the north node person. -unconsciously. The Saturn person is literally matching the north node persons energy. This is truly a karmic synastry and they aren’t meant to be together long term. The moment the north node person evolves and matures there’s no need for the Saturn person. Saturn isn’t here to directly teach a lesson in terms of sitting someone down giving wisdom like the mars square Saturn synastry. Saturn conjunct north node is literally karmic and riddled with difficulties, making life harder for the north node person to become the north node person officially.

I hope this makes sense.

An example of this would be the north node person (who really acts like the south node) is used to cheating on their partners. So, the north node person meets the Saturn person, and the Saturn person starts cheating on the north node person. Now, the north node person (who is really the south node person) will experience what it feels like to be cheated on. This relationship will be long term in the event the north node person refuses to actually become the north node person. This couple will go tit for tat until one day the north node person finally learns by trial and error. It may take the north node person getting the Saturn person pregnant or vice versa, and being weighed down by bills, drama, cheating, lies etc. for the north node person to finally get it. The Saturn person isn’t sitting the north node person down in a mature manner saying, “it’s time to grow up”. No, the Saturn person is reflecting back the north node person (really their south node behavior) to unconsciously make them grow up.

Another example.

Let’s say the north node person (who is really behaving like the south node) gets locked up. They get locked up and keep fighting and getting in trouble in jail and each time, their jail sentence gets longer. The judge, the correction officers and extended jail sentences aren’t sitting the north node person down saying please do better. No. they just keep extending the punishment until the north node person says to themselves, I need to stop fighting and getting in more trouble. Only I can change my ways, no one else. That extended jail sentence is equivalent to Saturn. Saturn is consequences not someone giving wisdom and harsh lessons. It’s consequences for not adhering to the lesson, the opportunity. Its punishment for your actions- no one else’s.

Hopefully this doesn’t get overwhelming or confusing but it’s clear for me because it took pain for me to realize I was the problem. It took getting hurt multiple times over in the same manner for me to realize that I was the problem not others.

In conclusion, this synastry aspect will last however long it takes for the north node person to really become the north node person. Saturn wouldn’t be present if otherwise. It’ll be the north node person to finally leave the Saturn person alone hopefully it’s not too late. Hopefully it doesn’t take jail, multiple babies, std’s, continuous setbacks, unhappiness, entrapment, child support, drama, fighting, abuse, cheating, lies and hell for the north node person to finally set into their north node energy. Again, though this is north node conjunct Saturn synastry- it’s really describing south node conjunct Saturn or south node opposite Saturn.

If your being cheated on, are you going to cheat back or leave? A mature person would leave.

If your being verbally abused, are you going to be abusive back or leave? A mature person would leave.

If your losing money, opportunities, and your peace of mind in a relationship, are you going to stay and become resentful and bitter or leave? A mature person would leave and so forth.

Of course, living life between air-raids, “under the bombs”, is a pretty common wartime experience since WW2. But this high-tech conflict evoked a dystopian universe, where someone, somewhere, has the power to take down whole apartment blocks, one by one, just by pressing a button on a screen. Many Lebanese, faced with such an all-powerful force, experienced an extreme level of powerlessness,a strange sense of nakedness even. This is just one of the aspects of this war which it is difficult to communicate to outsiders.

Another essential element, which I am having a hard time conveying to my relatives and friends abroad, is that this is not “yet another conflict” in a region which has known so many. Seen from France, for example, it is tempting to imagine that this war between Israel and Hezbollah occurred over stakes which really don’t concern us. An obscure and remote war, in short... But Israel is fighting with our weapons. Israel benefits most of the time from the backing of our media, our politicians, and our diplomats, in a struggle which dredges up all the rhetoric of the “war on terror”, the defence of the Western world, and even its “civilizing mission” against barbarism. In short, this war is being fought, very explicitly, in our name.

Now for anyone who is observing such a war close up, it is also a war of atrocities, in which journalists and medics are targeted, mosques and churches are desecrated, graveyards blown to bits among countless other gratuitous and unjustifiable acts of violence. The discrepancy between this intimate experience, on the one hand, and the sanitized account of it provided to the outside world, on the other, has led for many of us in Lebanon to a feeling of isolation and abandonment.

More than that, from here it is easy to see how our governments are using the opportunity provided by Israel’s wars, in Lebanon and in Gaza, to become ever more radicalized themselves, to the point of abandoning the principles of international humanitarian law, one of Europe’s finest contributions to the stability of the world. We are witnessing a kind of letting go, a growing disinhibition : It is as if we were encouraging Israel to do what we don’t yet dare to do ourselves. These warsact reveal and accelerate our own fascism, which is now taking root almost everywhere in Europe. So it is not only in Lebanon that this confict is reshuffling the cards.

Handmaiden - Loki Lauferson

Warnings: angst, hurt/comfort, slight dependence, takes place in the first Thor movie. It’s my first time writing for Loki, so I hope you like it.

Word count: 0,7k

You dared not meet his eyes, his question left hanging in the air still unanswered.

‘Do you desire me?’

The answer was yes. You knew it and you knew that your prince knew it too. Yet you couldn’t utter it. Trying to lie to the God of Lies was foolish, and you were certainly not one. At least you thought you weren’t one, however, only a fool would fall for a God.

Speaking the truth wasn’t an option either. What good would it do if you bared your heart to him if your love was doomed from the start? The All-Father would rather smite you than let this union occur.

“Answer me.” A command remained a command no matter how softly it was spoken.

You raised your head and his eyes met yours, which were struggling to hold back tears that had welled up. Being under a God’s gaze was unnerving, as they could grant you their favor or be the cause of your demise.

However, holding his gaze was an entirely different experience. His eyes peeled away all the niceties and the pretend. They seemed to be able to see a raw form, which you have been taught to hide at a young age as all the maidens, that were dedicated to serving the gods, had.

“I do.” Your voice croaked as you forced words that did not want to slip your mouth. “I do, my Prince.”

You knew for a long time that your feelings would be your doom, you might as well speak them out. Let them fester in your minds both the possibilities and their consequences.

“I have for a long time, my prince.” You confessed, the dam now broken. “Longer than I would care to admit. In a way that no handmaiden should desire her master, so intensely-.”

His hand on your cheek stopped your train of thought, silencing you. His thump traced it, and despite every fiber of your being wanting to lean into his touch, your training that had become second nature refused to entertain that notion.

His stare was intense, analyzing you and you were convinced that he could feel your heartbeat which was gradually beating as if it wanted to escape its enclosure.

“My prince-” you started but he shushed you.

“No need for titles within the walls of my room” Hearing his voice never lost its thill no matter how long you had been by his side. “I want to hear you call my name. It has been my desire for you to do so for a long time.”

“Loki…” you let his name in a way that you had allowed yourself to call out only in your daydreams.

The hand that was not already on you grasped your waist, bringing you closer to him, your chest touching his every time you breathed.

Kissing him felt nothing like how you had fantasized about. His kiss was soft yet firm. His lips oddly cold bringing comfort to your overheating skin. Your lips danced with the ease of lovers that had been together for a lifetime and it felt good for once to not pretend.

A noise outside of his room broke any delusion that you let yourself be swept with. You would not be forgiven for a sin like this.

Your hands found his chest, putting distance between you and breaking your kiss and your heart in the process.

“We can’t.” Your voice was firm.

“Don’t deny me this.” The plea was unbecoming of a God.

His eyes were glassy and their color was more captivating than ever, revealing sad thoughts and vulnerability that you had only seen in passing all those years.

“I learned horrible truths about me today.” He admitted. “Please, don’t deny me affection from the one person that I know truly loves me.”

Your heart kept breaking, the sight of the powerful God so desperate filling you with sorrow. Your hands that were still on his chest, travelled to the nape of his neck, bringing him closer for another more desperate kiss.

Your sin was unforgivable, your life would not be spared if anyone found out. However, Loki, your prince, the man you loved, needed comfort tonight. You would think about the consequences of your actions tomorrow.

Under the Bridge 1x07 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Absolutely no one has asked for this, but here’s my review: A very quality episode all around- Storytelling, cinematography, acting, all superb work in my opinion. Exactly how I imagined this episode would go after finishing the Under the Bridge book in terms of the case. Definitely stirred up the same emotions as when I was reading the book.

How I interpreted Rebecca’s “obsession” with telling Warren’s story, make sure everybody “knows his heart” seems to align with what the show’s trying to get at- Yes, Warren is a boy who’s had a quiet yet unfortunate life, but he is not Gabe. He is Rebecca. A kid who didn’t know better and did/said horrible things in the heat of the moment that had a much bigger consequene than they could possibly comprehend even afterwards.

It seems to me that Rebecca (the show character) also didn’t fully understand or maybe didn’t want to admit why she so desperately wanted and needed to tell everyone Warren’s heart- She wanted to convince or prove to “the world”- to herself really (and maybe Cam)- that she did monsterous things (bullied her brother, shouted horrible things at him) but she’s not a monster.

Again, I am not passing judgment or taking sides on the true case and real people involved in the case. I am only focusing on the characters and the show’s artistic choices to tell the story from the book. I think the show did a good job capturing the book, aka the real Rebecca’s perspective of the stories around the case, and added more-

1) When Rebecca’s dad read the draft, he brought up that in the story about Reena Virk’s case, she’s everywhere, but yet she is no where to be found in Rebecca’s book. Why is that? What is she afraid of?

2) Suman stared right into Rebecca’s eyes and said Warren saw someone who’s weaker so he did what he did. Then, questioned her if Reena looked like her, do you think he’d still do what he did?! The book in my opinion did not really touched on the racial aspect of the discussion, maybe it only implied or vaguely hinted at, but I like how the show directly point it out. I can’t quite put this into words, but I also felt that what Suman said about Warren in that moment did not see Reena as a person has a slightly different meaning from when the same statement was made during court when they tried to pin Warren for the murder.

3) Similar to the point above, I am not sure if this is intentional on the director/show-creator’s part, but I found it interesting that while the connection between Rebecca and Warren was forming, the show also established a mirror connection between Cam and Dusty 👀 I personally see it as mirroring in terms of race ethnicity but also a mirror comparison in their childhood experience aka the role they both played in the case of Gabe and Reena. Besides wanting to see them continuously showcasing the true case progress, I can’t wait to see if the show will tell us what did happen with Gabe in the last episode? We seem to know the role Dusty/Cam played in the case. We know Warren/Rebecca think they contributed 3/10 parts to Gabe/Reena’s death. We know that Kelly owed 7/10 parts to Reena’s death, then what’s the 7/10 parts to Gabe’s death?! Was it truly an accident or was there something more?

Lastly, the scene between Rebecca x Cam in the bedroom… such wonderful acting by Riley and Lily 🥲

Also, I truly see the real Rebecca shining through Riley’s Rebecca in this episode for some reason…

A New Beginning: A Supergirl 6x20 Re-Write

Chapter Two: The Big Reveal

With a box of chocolates, wine and flowers, Kara flew home as fast as she could. “Lena?”

“Hey you.” That melodic Irish brogue of her carries through the apartment. “How was your day?”

“Good.” What was before Kara was Lena in her NCU sweatshirt, flannel bottoms and cupcake slipper socks.

“What’s all this for?” Curious of the meaning of the things Kara had in her hand, she first dragged her to the couch, then got back up to get a couple of wine glasses.

“I saw the second half of the text you sent me, and my mind went over everything. So…this is essentially an ‘I’m Sorry.”

“Kara, sweetheart, you have nothing to be sorry for.” A spritely chuckle was Lena’s response. “The gift, albeit very thoughtful, and yummy, that is not what my text was about. Did you even see the first part?”

Pulling out her phone again, she read the first sentence multiple times, before looking back up at Lena, feeling slightly embarrassed. “Ah…”

“Yeah, it was definitely quite the surprise, seeing you on TV. And I gotta say, you looked pretty smoakin’.” Her famous eyebrow arch accompanied with a heart melting smirk was the sure fire way to get Kara to relax.

“You sure flattery isn’t your superpower instead of Magic?” Kara jokingly asked as she opened the box of chocolates, kicking her shoes off before leaning back on the couch and accepting the wine.

“Cross my heart. And…Andrea was watching with me.” She revealed.

“Really? How did she process?” Intrigue was an understatement about how Kara felt about her former boss knowing.

“She looked like a cartoon that had gotten squished by an anvil at first, but then she felt really bad about all of the times she treated you horribly.”

“You know I’m over that now, Lena.” She dismisses.

“I know Kara, but she really did feel bad. I wouldn’t be surprised if she reached out to you. She really does want to make amends.”

“Then I appreciate the thought. Whenever she reaches out, I will gladly accept.” Kara sighs, sipping her drink.

“You really did look great on camera.” Not once had Lena taken her eyes off Kara. “I’m proud of you. Out of all of the years I’ve known you, seeing you on camera and how you handled yourself with grace and poise, you were practically radiating sunshine.”

Kara always did this thing where, whenever she was complimented, she would get the biggest smile while simultaneously biting her lip and bowing her head to hide the cherry red blush on her cheeks. “You always know what to say. And, to be honest, while I was answering, I was worried about stumbling over my words. Yet, with every second that passed by, there you were. In my head, like always. Pushing me through.” It had become second nature for Kara to reach for Lena’s hand whenever they sat on the couch together.

“Kara, there is actually something that has been weighing on my mind.” Sure to not spill a drop, Lena sets her glass on the table before her, and turns her attention back to her Kryptonian Adora.

“What is it?” Kara mimicked her actions, watching her face.

“Ever since your sister’s wedding, and that…..” Lena was now turning a shade of apple red, and with her skin tone, it was as clear as day. “Life changing, time stopping kiss of ours, I…”

“I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it either.” Kara hadn’t let go of Lena’s hand saying this, in fact half way through Lena’s babbling, she started to gently massage the space between her thumb and index finger. “It was pretty great.” Like the human Golden Retriever she was, she raised both of her eyebrows to get Lena to smile.

“That, and it got me thinking…about us. And how I feel about you.” Taking a deep breath, Lena fiddles with her hands to keep some of her nerves in check. “Kara, you know you’re my best friend, but I don’t think that’s going to cut it anymore. I don’t like hiding the fact that we’re together from our family. I get that you want us to keep things private because we are a new item. Damn those consequences. I want to be able to show you off. I want to be able to declare to the world how lucky I am to be your girlfriend.

“Lena…” Kara had a sense of where this was going. She was listening to Lena’s heartbeat as she spoke, and with every word, it got faster. She knew of three reasons why this would happen: Anxiety, Stress…and she was about to say I love you.

“Please, let me finish?” Lena’s voice squeaked with how nervous she was. “I’ve never felt this was about someone before, in my life actually. And thinking back about all of the times you’ve saved me, and were willing to risk your life…Nobody has ever done that for me. Every time we shared a hug, I never wanted to let go. And when I found out all of the times you defended me to the others. It’s like…you’re my knight in shining armor. Even when I had hurt you, you still trusted me with your life. That day, I vowed to do everything in my power to be worthy of your trust again…”

As Lena was nervously babbling, rather adorably, Kara had slowly begun to scoot closer to Lena on the couch. Yes, she was paying attention to the words, but every other word, she would look at Lena’s lips. The dark red lipstick that was as crimson as a rose practically hypnotized her. But what Kara loved the most…was just listening to Lena talk. Whether it was the inflection in her voice, or the way she talked with her hands. Now was as good a time as ever.

“And, I guess what I’m trying to say is, Kara…I…”

Before Lena could even finish, Kara had gently cupped her face and closed the distance between their lips For Kara, kissing Lena just turned all of her senses up to 11. Her lips fit perfectly together like a puzzle piece with Lena’s. This kiss was just as passionate and fiery as the one at the wedding, but this one was also more intimate and gentle. Kara deliberately let it linger longer than the one at the wedding…because she was just as in love with Lena, as Lena was with her.

“I love you too, Lena.” That delicate whisper. The declaration of love accompanied with a soft forehand touch, it was definitely a moment out of a Hallmark movie. “I realized it when Mxy and I…tried to change the timeline to fix our relationship.” Not once did Kara’s hand leave Lena’s cheek.

“Okay…I’m definitely going to need a full story.” She wasn't surprised. At this point, she knew Kara would risk it all for her, no matter what.

Here’s Chapter 2, everyone. Hope you enjoy!

Explaining how/why Eren is a psychopath/sociopath for funnsies (it's a very long post)

So, some days ago I was thinking about how whenever I or anyone else says we think Eren Yeager has some kind of cluster B personality disorder someone shows up to tell us we are wrong and don't understand the character; but, then I realized that I haven't actually explained my reasons and why I think this, so here's this post to do just that.

first of all, I think, when I say Eren is a psychopath/has aspd/whatever you wanna call it people think that I'm saying Eren is evil, that he's just an evil psycho that decided to do the rumbling and murder billions of people cause he's just an evil monster and that's it; there's no reason other than he just wanted to kill billions of people, thought it'd be fun. That is not what I'm saying. First of all, I don't believe that people with ASPD are necessarily bad people. I'm not making a judgment on Eren moral character, rather I'm presenting my theory on one factor that makes Eren the way he is, and really it's all just for fun.

My understanding of ASPD is based on the DSM-5 (my copy of the DSM-5 was printed in 2013) and various accounts from people diagnosed with ASPD, but I'm not a professional so, obviously, this isn't meant to be educational. I will also note that technically a person can not be diagnosed with ASPD until they are 18 years of age; but, since Eren is not a real person (in this reality) and we aren't actually diagnosing anyone, we are going to ignore that.

I will list the criteria for ASPD and indicated which one I believe apply to Eren and which ones don't.

According to the DSM-5 the criteria for ASPD are as follows: A. "A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of of the rights of others as indicated by 3 or more of the following"

"Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behavior, as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest" Yes. I'm gonna say this one does pertain Eren. Him murdering 3 people is a pretty substantial example of an act that would be grounds for arrest, He also makes attempts to physically assault people on at least 2 occasions in the 1st two episodes. One being an old man and the other a Military officer, this showing his disregard for authority. His disregard is also shown when he is disappointed that Levi actually follows orders, and again when he's about the disregard orders himself and transform during the female titan chase, and then also basically all of season 4.

"deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure." No, but also Yes, actually. I don't think Eren is ever really deceitful other than not telling anyone about the future memories or about the the royal blood titan Dina; which was to protect Historia (and also I think to prevent the military from attempting to feed him to someone else and thus preventing him from actually accomplishing anything) and his infiltration into Marley, but since that was an undercover military operation (that was un authorized and that he just decided to do himself) deceitfulness in these instances is not indicative of a pattern of behavior. Although the fact that he lied by omission for 4 years while creating a cult following to form a coupe that would take over the government shows that he is very capable and willing to be extremely deceitful when it suites his goals. So, actually Yes this kinda does apply to Eren.

"Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead." Yes. See Eren's entire character. Ok, he actually is really good at long term planning and maintaining a goal; see Him deciding to join the scouts at like 8 and then never wavering and following through on that at (what 14?) See basically all of season 4. However, Eren is impulsive and doesn't plan ahead, in the moment. He is emotionally charged and as such will charge into situations without thinking and without considering the consequences.

"Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults." Yes. See Eren attempting to assault an old man in the 1st episode, also attempting to assault a military officer in the 2nd, also see him violently headbutting Mikasa in (the 4th or 5th??)

"Reckless disregard for safety of self or others." Yes. See Eren's entire character. He's called a suicidal maniac for a reason. He does also seem to have a slight disregard for others safety, not because he doesn't care about them, he wants them to be safe, but it seems that his valuing others doesn't temper his actions; however, I think this fits better as evidence under criteria number 3.

"Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations." No, I don't think this one applies to Eren.

"Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another" If you asked someone to explain what ASPD or psychopathy is I think there's a pretty high chance they'll say something about lack of remorse, and Yes, this one does, also, apply to Eren. See him murdering 3 adult men and immediately justifying it (whether or not you agree that the 3 human trafficker's deserved what they got isn't relevant.) , see Eren killing a bunch of people by throwing Annie onto a building and then never even mentioning it (that might be anime only Idk; I heard that fight was different in the manga)

So according to the DSM-5 You need 3 of the above 7 criteria; Eren has 5 or 6. If He existed in the real world he would 100% be diagnosed with some kind of cluster B personality disorder if not ASPD. On to some other points that aren't listed as criteria in the DSM-5; I've watched/viewed contend by a number of people diagnosed with ASPD; so, some things I've noted:

People with ASPD often suffer from boredom; They are bored easily. and Kid Eren was also very bored

They also tend to have 'dead eyes' or eyes that look empty and without emotion. It might be weird to link this to Eren because his Bright and expressive Teal Eyes are like one of his defining features but look at His eyes as a kid and especially before meeting Armin, before Mikasa, before Armin shows him the book and tells him about his dream to see the outside world. Before any of this Eren's eyes are pretty dead.

I've seen people argue that its because of the world he lives in. That the violence and trauma of the world he's in makes him this way. I disagree; I think that the world being the way it is in AOT is what gives Eren a semblance or normalcy. Fighting Titans gives him something to do and focus his aggression on. I think one way to tell if a character behavior is because of the world or because of their innate self is to compare them to other people in that world and the other people we see in AOT don't have the same or really even a very similar mind to Eren. He is clearly abnormal.

I could probably say more but I'm gonna stop... for now at least.
