It was, indeed, rare for Gideon to take matters into his own hands. More often than not, he found himself unbothered by the wiles and ways of those residing in the undercroft, refusing to utilize the proper title due to his own dislike for it. But this particular child had garnered his attentions in the more negative aspects. He'd requested the boy be brought to his suite, knowing full well that once the other was here, he'd move in quickly with his gifts to disarm the other. The ability to manipulate emotions wasn't one he used often. But there were times where the job had to be done, and Gideon could feel the poisonous sensation of the other moving into his space. The negativity surely didn't belong within his space and he quickly dissipated any feelings of angst, anger, or disgust into feelings of warmth, calm, and serenity in the other. Essentially, malleable for everything Gideon had in mind as he heard the steps behind him. "There's a chair in the main room. You should make yourself comfortable." He instructed as he rolled up his sleeves. Moving, he turned to the other, leaning against the counter, camera now facing the boy. "A proper introduction needs to be made. My name is Gideon. I'm the councilman for Israel. And I've heard tell you're not the biggest fan of people in my position." But Gideon assessed the other before him, small grin coming to his features. "Tell me, Dmitri..." He utilized his ability to peer into and unlock the subconscious of the other right away. "It's a safe space. What do you fear more than anything?"

What Vitaly had hoped for, prayed for was more of a fight. What he got instead was some simpering, whining pup. Rolling his eyes, Vitaly helped the other sharply to his feet. Gripping the jaw of the other, he popped the pieces back into place. Then he placed the other on the cot. "You keep making noise with mouth that isn't nice, you'll wind up fuck toy for not good master." The warning was clear there. "And trust me. You don't want this. I don't care how crazy you may think you are. Survival is not based on that here. Survival is compliance. Unless you wish to die. In which case, keep yapping puppy."

Whatever retort Dmitri had been loading up died in his throat, smothered by the involuntary whimper of pain, like a dog that had taken a boot to its underside. In a few short moments he was down on his knees, his nerve endings alight and his eyes wild with fury. His growl was muffled, weak, through his closed lips. He glowered back up at Vitaly, his nostrils flaring, mind racing, trying to decide on his next move.

And then suddenly his mind went blank as he came to the startling realisation that he was wet. He could feel the humidity of it first, then, faintly, he could smell it. His expression quickly shifted to panic, his eyes wide. Whatever Gideon had done to him took over. He tipped his head, showed Vitaly the exposed length of his neck in submission, yielding. He made a loud, pained whining sound, wincing away from himself as he did so.

Rocket Red and Power Girl in Justice League Europe #2

[journalsouppe]

Professor Layton and the Spectre’s Call!! I actually discovered ordering the game from the UK with shipping was actually cheaper than ordering the American version of the game, there were no major differences that I could tell as they still had the original English voice actors.

I enjoyed this game!! Not my top favorite installment but I still had a great time and loved the new characters. The puzzles were well designed and had nice scaled difficulty and the mini games were really neat too. The Eternal Diva references were so blatant lmfao but I’m excited for Miracle Mask! I was also super exhausted when writing the summary so sorry there’s so many errors and I use the word fun a million times ToT

The Descole and Tea sticker are from JordyDrawsMerch! All other stickers are from Daiso. Writing typed below!

ZAMN T^T

THE WAY THE SPRITES WALK KILLS ME LOL

I really like these little episodes from others POVS! ^_^

Summary

This was such a fun origin story for Luke and Layton. Very much a classic Layton game with world ending machinery and gorgeous environment design. I really liked both Emmy and Descole, there’s a more serious undertone than with Don Paolo as the main villain (even though I do love Don Paolo). Emmy is amazing!! I was afraid she would be sidelined like Flora was but I’m glad to she stands her ground and does what she wants to do. I alos like how we got to go on our own adventure as her to London, she’s a character that doesn’t need to rely on Hershel to solve everything. Meeting Luke was great, loved his blank stare. It was fun seeing his origins and how Clark and Hershel knew each other. I’m curious how the prequels will play into the New World of Steam, especially now that Luke’s family have stories and sprites (unlike in the original trilogy). Loved the ACAB story, v nice to play while I’m still so mad at what’s happening to university students currently. Descole was so fun, I am obsessed with his outfit and personality. Unfortunately I was spoiled on who he is but I’m very excited to learn more. I think similar to Ace Attorney, the fourth installment is that last game in the classic 2D style, which is sad but PLvsPW makes me very hopeful about 3D Layton. The overall story was fun, I really liked the sub plot about the Ravens - that was really fun (i was so tired writing this omfg). I wish we got a little more backstory on the rich guy who died, I feel like there’s more to the story. OO I loved the little episodes, especially the one about Chelmey. They added a lot of fun context and gave more life to the NPCs. Such a fun and classic Layton game, I can’t wait to play Miracle Mask! (And read the light novels). This wasn’t my favorite Layton game but I still really loved it and had a great time and loved the puzzles — that’s all I want from PL!

IRON FLAME THOUGHTS & REVIEW

Ohh. My. God.

Okay, soooo many things clicked for me by the end of the book. The twists were so delicious I was SCREAMING- my roommate thought something was wrong bahahaha. Spoilers ahead!

I was GAGGED. By Xaden’s second signet reveal. I had to put the book down and go make a cup of tea. At first I was like “WTF??!!” And was ranting about how it felt just thrown in there especially since the convo about the direct descendants/ second signet convo like just happened… and call me crazy but I think it happened one other time in the book and Violet wasn’t listening/didn’t pick up on it.

But then once I calmed down I realized how much RY foreshadowed it… like I could count plenty of times Violet says something in her regular thoughts (I.e. not italics) and Xaden responds… at first I just thought our queen had trouble not saying her train of thought out loud lol. But I gotta hand it to Rebecca, she totttttally got me. Insane twist and I’m obsessed with it.

Next I obviously have to talk about the ending. (Another side note… has anyone read Vampire Academy? (Spoiler)This is like the same vibes of Dmitri turning Strigoi) Xaden clearly slept with Violet so she obviously trusts him enough still, how much control do the Venin have?? I’m guessing it’s sposed to get worse the longer he is one? I think that right now I can focus on both Nolon and Jack being alive, and being the most reliable sources of information. I have not lost hope that he lives yet.

Tairns confession of Violet being his last broke me. So did Andarna saying she wants to be just like him. God I was unwell.

I need to read some more reviews, but I felt like a little bit of plot armor came into play with the final battle against the Venin… Sawyer lost a leg but is likely going to live, I was seriously expecting Rhi or Ridoc to not make it. Obviously I’m speaking very soon but they to me were giving “marked”. This is a personal opinion.

Yeah yeah the fights were childish. But to be completely honest I was taking Xadens side in most of them…. Give the kid a break Vi 😂

Okay, that’s all for now. Can’t wait for the next one tbh hahaha

[ruinedsoulsrp]

Addie stumbled backward when he pushed against the door. He was bigger than her, stronger, faster, and she was entirely taken by surprise. The brunette stumbled backward until the back of her knees found her ottoman and she fell into a seated position on it, staring at the stranger in her apartment. Her brows rose slightly, confusion etching onto her pretty features. "Wh-What?" she started, before she shook her head slightly. "I don't understand."

"Hi." Dmitri smiled, and— slammed his foot to the door as hard as he could. Forcing it open and her back. The next part was fast: stepped in, door closed, key now in his pocket. He had never been partial to noise— Or noisy neighbors. "So," His back pressed to the door, he turned to her. Another smile, not nearly as inviting. "We can do a version of this where I chase you. Or we can do a version of this where you come out unharmed. I am inviting you to take the second. It's a one time offer."

Priority Research 7 Predictions - Northern Parliament

Hoo boy, let's get this one over with. This one is going to be a long, long post.

As established in the Dragon Empery post, I will attempt to predict their possible skills as well based on their World of Warships gimmicks. The thing is, the Soviet navy has a lot of made-up warships in World of Warships.

Let's begin with cruisers, since they're gonna take the longest to get through. There is a chance some of these ships end up being gacha units in the future, though; although with different names.

Pyotr Bagration

Pyotr Bagration is a Tier 8... cruiser. With 180mm guns, she classifies as a light cruiser; however, her 180mm guns have insane ballistics that make them hit harder than a lot of other heavy cruisers, even Tallinn.

Bagration is based off of Project 65, specifically one of the largest draft for Project 65, which is equipped with 3 triple 180mm gun turrets and a 15k ton displacement.

Unlike basically every Soviet cruiser from Tier 8 and above, she does not have access to radar. Her speed is high, but her general maneuverability isn't that good. I genuinely can't figure out a skill for her, but she's an option for a PR.

Ochakov

I like comparing Ochakov to Mainz in terms of performance. Ochakov is a light cruiser equipped with fast-firing 152mm guns in dual turrets. Compared to Mainz, she has worse armor, worse alpha damage, and worse DPM; but has an overall better AA and access to radar. Also, in WoWs, I think Ochakov is prettier. Not applicable in Azur Lane of course.

Her skills could involve something related to her fire rate, allowing her to fire faster; or a skill that allows her to detect all enemies and make them more susceptible to damage. Or something.

Dmitri Donskoi

Alright, I don't have much to say about Donskoi. She's literally a bigger Pyotr Bagration; she gets access to radar and a fourth triple 180mm turret with slightly worse reload (12.5s for Donskoi and 11s for Bagration). As a Tier 9 ship, she naturally has more health than her predecessors.

Both Donskoi and Bagration are equally as likely, and both are PR material.

Riga

Not only does she have a cool name (Riga seems like a very pretty city), she's also an interesting ship. Her alpha damage ('alpha damage' being the damage she can dish out in one salvo) is brutal with nine 220mm guns, although her turret traverse time resembles more a battleship than a cruiser (32.7 seconds to turn 180º. Soyuz's gigantic 406mm turrets are faster at 30s for 180º).

Riga is not very stealthy, nor very maneuvrable. However, she is a bit of a grandmother to the Stalingrad, which we'll see below in a second. Riga's gimmick in AL could make her do vastly improved damage with AP guns, or make her outright ignore stuff like medium armor. If that's too broken for AL or not is above me. Both Riga and Donskoi could be PRs, tho.

Alexander Nevsky

Now onto the three possible DR cruisers.

Nevsky is a unique HE spammer. HE spamming is, as the name implies, spamming High Explosive; a tactic many kinds of ship can perform very effectively (Harbin, for example, is a dedicated HE spammer in WoWs). However, Nevsky trades damage per minute for alpha damage. Her reload of 6 seconds is not bad at all, however, much better ships exist for the task - Jinan's reload is 3.5 seconds, and she has 4 more guns. However, Jinan has weak, pathetic, American 127mm guns; while Nevsky has glorious, patriotic Soviet 180mm guns. These eight 180mm guns are considerably better than those found on Tallinn, Bagration or Donskoi.

To top it all off, she has access to the usual convo of radar + hydroacoustic search, meaning she can find you no matter what. Her skills could involve a much improved damage output or fire chance for HE guns, and a skill that allows her to instantly detect submarines the moment they appear, or similar. DR material.

Petropavlovsk

There was some controversy the moment Petropavlovsk was introduced as a replacement for the previous Tier 10 heavy cruiser (Moskva), as both ships share the same gun calliber of 220mm, but Petropavlovsk's shells do almost as much damage and have almost the same penetration values as Bismarck. Bismarck is not the best Tier 8 battleship, of course. But Bismarck is a battleship, Petropavlovsk is a cruiser. And her reload of 14 seconds means this cruiser that has 1 more gun than Bismarck and almost the same values as Bismarck could have almost twice the damage per minute of poor old Bismarck (Bismarck's reload is 26 seconds). That should tell you a lot already.

Petropavlovsk is a "heavy cruiser", the same way Ägir or Alaska are "heavy cruisers". Her guns are insane, and the ship has a very good armor scheme as well. Since she sits so low above the water, it's harder to hit her from a distance - your shells will hit the waves before they touch her hull, losing momentum. She's fast too, although her concealment is... well, she can be seen from 16.3km away (base values). Kremlin (remember that name) can be seen from 16.5km, and she's considerably bigger than Petropavlovsk.

Stalingrad

Known as 'Battlecruiser Stalingrad' by the WoWs community, Stalingrad is a Tier 10 Soviet heavy cruiser armed with nine 305mm guns. They're legitimately one of the best 305mm guns in the whole game. Mecklenburg, a German Tier 10 battleship with sixteen 305mm guns, deals considerably less damage per gun than Stalingrad.

Typical of Soviet heavy cruisers, Stalingrad's high explosive is pathetic while her armor piercing is beyond excellent. Stalin himself guides each projectile with an unnatural accuracy, his hand reaching from beyond the grave to ensure Stalingrad's shells land on the target.

Stalingrad could be a large cruiser meant to spam AP, dealing raw damage to anyone that crosses her path. All her skills could be self-buffs, as the ship is very egocentric in WoWs.

Borodino

Now onto the battleships. There's only 3 so this should be quick.

Borodino is a weird design. Vodka was involved. She takes the Richelieu approach of only having front-facing turrets. Borodino is equipped with two triple 406mm gun turrets, the same one found on the Sovetsky-Soyuz class. They are above average in terms of accuracy, earning her the nickname of "tier 8 Stalingrad". In my own personal experience, they're very (literally) hit or miss.

Borodino has a radar, though. That's unique among battleships, with only 2 other ones having radar to the best of my knowledge (Missouri and Constellation).

Borodino is a tank. She is best played around islands, bow-in. Her small superstructure and large, well protected bow, as well as front-facing turrets; means Borodino is perfect for bow tanking at Tier 8.

She's PR material for sure, but she could be an interesting PR.

Navarin

I'm torn about Navarin. On the one hand, Navarin could easily be DR material. She's unique among all Soviet warships in WoWs, no other ship in the entire nation sharing her gimmick even remotely. There are two Italian battleships and two Italian cruisers that excell at secondary gun warfare; France has at least 2 ships, the US Navy has West Virginia '44, Massachussetts, Georgia and Ohio. Japan has Iwami, Shikishima and Kii. But the Soviet Union? Their only ship that's good at secondary guns is Navarin.

Besides, look at her design. She's old! Her design began in 1914; the Soviet Union wasn't even a thing back then. This monstrosity has three quadruple 406mm guns with rifles that aren't bad at all, as well as a wall of 130mm secondary guns on each side. She even has casemate guns, at Tier 9! She fights against modern warships such as Iowa, Swedish post-war destroyers, and aircraft carriers with jet planes. Granny needs DR status.

But yes, her gimmick in WoWs is that - just like Friedrich der Grosse, Prinz Rupprecht or Odin; she's a secondary gun brawler. She's meant to get close to the enemy and blast her 17 130mm guns per side, and 12 406mm guns, at 10km or less. And yes, this girl is covered in guns.

Kremlin

I don't lose anything by mentioning her.

With the introduction of gacha UR Sovetsky Soyuz, DR Kremlin is unlikely. Well, so was Hindenburg.

Kremlin is the epitome of Soviet battleships. Extremely tanky when bow-in, vulnerable when broadside, big guns that do big damage but have unreliable accuracy. I love her. Kremlin is a big, slow, slumbering warship that still somehow manages to have a 29 second reload on her monstrous 457mm guns.

Her skills would represent this sheer damage potential, maybe allowing a skill that redirects the damage the vanguard takes into a shield she generates - like a much, much better Illustrious.

Admiral Nakhimov

Finally, we have another aircraft carrier.

Nakhimov is different enough from Chkalov, as well as being a Tier 10 while Chkalov is Tier 8.

Nakhimov shares the same gameplay as the other Soviet CVs - big number of planes in a single squadron. Her torpedo bombers consist of a flight of 7 planes, each one dropping a torpedo, all at the same time. She fires a total of 32 rockets from her 8 attack aircraft, all at the same time. She drops 7 powerful bombs with her skip bombers. That's right, Nakhimov doesn't have dive bombers. She is equipped with skip bombers, which are bombers that drop their payload in such a way that it bounces on the water like a rock until it hits the enemy. Yes, those things existed in real life.

Nakhimov could be an extremely versatile and hyper-aggressive DR CV, capable of taking on all sorts of enemies.

Razumikhin and Rodya in a nutshell :

[songbvrd]

peter was tired and over it. getting the story was easy for him in theory, given his abilities, but he did always end up exerting a lot of effort not to be seen or heard and, by the end of the day, all he wanted to do was escape all of the gangland stuff he wasn’t even really a part of. “long day?” he asked the person sitting next to him, casual and thoughtless.

( @woundedwrldd​ )

[mlle-laurette]

It won’t let me not title this

Now that Laure was staying in England, officially staying in England with Sylvanie and Gilderoy and Marcus and Zephyr; she’d taken the first job opportunity that fell into her lap. Which meant working at Dmitry Nott’s law firm. She’d never actually had a job before. At least not one that didn’t involve babysitting children (or René). She wasn’t sure what to expect.

And she certainly wasn’t sure what the protocol was on seeing your new boss in public. Was she supposed to say hello? Was she allowed to say hello? No one taught her about this in school.

“Monsieur Nott!” She said, smiling at Dmitry but mostly smiling at Lord Stair. “I did not expect to see you. Do I— is there anything I can get you?”

At the skaterink

Mike to angela : "it's really cool to finally meet some of El... Jane's friends."

Angela lying : "Friends? ( chuckles ) Yeah. (Sarcastic) Super cool."

A few eps later

Mike to Will: "friends ... best friends."

Will: "cool"

Mike smirking: " cool."

Ya'll ...Angela and El both lie about being eachother's friends . But in a way Will/mike may be also lying about being ( just ) "friends".

Angela at the skaterink wasn't the only one lying about friendships* cough mike's defensive comment to Will at the skate rink : "we're friends! We're friends! " you protest too much Michael. Especially when the original song during said "friend" convo is called "in the closet (at rink o mania)". And the song playing when El leaves with angela , and mike and Will are alone is "Tarzan boy" (a literal gay anthem).

Bonus

Hopper: " she's not my woman. " (also says it 2x)

Dmitri (sarcastastic) : "of course not, she saves you because of friendship... you're like steve McQueen cooler king. Cooler king gets cooler. You're a cool cat. "

Like, I get the cooler king/ Hopper being in jail ref but ... did they really have to drop "cool" that many times in a span of like 2 minutes??? And also have Will bring up the fact mike helped "save" him as another parallel.

the older boy, part two. eli moskowitz x reader

summary 📣: in which reader’s friends warn her about the older boy with the red mohawk but she doesn’t listen

warning/s 🚫: swearing

slater’s note 🗯: omg slater finally uploaded 😮

part one, part two

hawk: miss me princess?

you squinted your eyes from the bright glare surfacing from the screen of your phone. it had to be about close to midnight and it was almost something you expected, this text.

he always texted late, always catching you minutes before you decided to clock out for bed, and always drawing out your sleep schedule. so instead of going to bed at 11:30 like normal, you ended up wide awake well around two hours later.

y/n: you flatter yourself too much

hawk: is that so? thought you always looked forward to our nightly convos

y/n: other than them being nightly, sure

hawk: i’m a busy man

you rolled your eyes, “sure you are.”

y/n: that’s probably why i never see you outside of school then huh

you couldn’t careless on why you never saw hawk outside of school. it seemed to be rather a blessing from all the things you had been hearing about him lately. it was just fun to tease.

he liked being teased as weird as it sounded, it fired him up as he stared at the screen of his phone, smirking. hawk knew you knew why you never saw him and why he never saw you. you guys weren’t friends, barely acquaintances, only two oblivious lonely people who wanted someone to fill their hormonal needs. 

hawk: you never see me sweetheart because you never want to

y/n: that’s a lie

hawk: is it?

y/n: i’d love to see you

hawk: i’m sure you would, but face it princess, you’d chicken out halfway through before you’d even see my face

y/n: lies, you sure you’re not talking about yourself?

but was it really a lie? you wondered, thinking whether or not your wits and nervousness would overcome you before you actually saw the face of eli if you were to ever hang out with him.

you bit your lip thinking about earlier today when moon said to stay away from eli for rather obvious reasons. one being he was violent and angry a lot of the time and two... he was a teenage asshole who’d fuck you over the minute you showed vulnerability.

hawk: let me come over if you’re not a pussy

you bit your tongue at the sight of the message. great, you thought. now you had to come up with some excuse only to prove hawk right; that you were a pussy. the thing was, you didn’t actually think he’d want to see you.

it was like a silent agreement that your relationship was flirting only, nothing else. he was like a side hustle along with all the other boys who hit you up through your snapchat.

y/n: sorry babe, i only let boys who actually talk to me in real life come over

hawk: alright, fuck you lmfao

eli mindlessly smiled at his phone screen while shaking his head. he knew you’d be a challenge, and he knew you’d turn him down any minute or mention of hanging out.

he found taunting and teasing you amusing and sometimes the highlights of his days but sometimes it also got boring with how you didn’t put out as easily as the other girls.

y/n: sorry bud

hawk: alright, goodnight princess ;)

°•

it was uneventfully windy as you stood outside waiting for moon’s red car to pull up and drop you home. you almost swore as you came into realization that she probably forgot about you, again.

you tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear as you checked your phone once again, absent of any notifications that would relate to moon.

you were beginning to feel sick, the kind of sick that resonated in your stomach from a sprout of loneliness. you shook your head, pushing yourself off the brick high school wall deciding you better start walking now if you wanted to get home before five.

your feet begun to burn five minutes into walking the shortest route you could think of as a way home, “fucking, moon.” you shook your head, taking out your phone again. she always had the strangest memory problems and seemed to always goes m.i.a. the moments you need her the most, such as.. when you were desperately in need a ride home. 

“need a ride?”

you almost jumped in surprised, not realizing a car had pulled up next to you as you were focused on your phone. you dipped your head down to the low window of the old red cadillac pulled up next to you, their windows rolled down, old rap music turned down low in order to speak to you. 

eli.  

“nice car,” you quirked your brow with a slight impressed smile. he was one of the last people on earth you would expect to give you a ride despite your conversation the last night. 

“you want a ride or not, princess?” “oh, i wouldn’t want to ruin your special me time, hawk.”

“get in the fucking car, y/n,” he rolled his eyes, quickly done with your bullshit as he put the car in drive. you reluctantly got in the nice car, swinging your bag to the floor as you couldn’t help smile to yourself. 

“you know i’ve never been in a karate kid’s car before,” you mumbled lightly, examining the interior of the car better, your fingers running against the smooth dashboard, impressed by how well restored the old car was. 

“is that so?” he glanced at you, a slight smirk on his face. 

“who restored the car?” you mumbled, your eyes still looking around almost like a kid in a candy store, only more subtle, trying to hide the fact how impressed you were with the car. 

he glanced at you again, almost taken back by the question. it was never a question he had heard before, especially by a girl. he smirked, trying to hide his own surprisal, “you know larusso? guy helped me out with it.”

“nice,” you mumbled, leaning back into the seat, done with your examination. 

it was silent now, and you almost sat comfortably if it weren't for the voice in the back of your head yelling at you that the whole thing was a bad idea. you wanted to ignore it so badly, because you had never actually ever saw a red flag from eli other than the fact that it’s basic knowledge he’d a fuck boy. 

he seemed like a generally good guy. no not a good guy, a guy that was your type. eli wasn’t at all the good guy type but more or so the douche that was only nice to certain group of people, you being on of them. 

because he wanted to fuck you. 

“got something on your mind?” he glanced at you, almost nervously like you'd hop out the window with any wrong move he made. 

“no,” you said it fast making him smirk, almost as if he knew what you were thinking, almost as if he were familiar with the typical female anxiousness. familiar with the fast talking, redden cheeks, lip bites, fingers fiddling, all of it, it seemed as if he just knew. 

and eli was, it hadn't taken him long when going through girls to pick up on the similar body language they all seemed to have. because really, down to the bottle, they all did the same thing; always rubbed their lips together prompting for kisses, using a different fragrance than usual when finally alone, fingers tapping, lessening the clothing on their body than the usual outfit. all similar, and he could almost see it in you despite this being an unintentional meet up... and you weren't trying to pounce on. 

“actually.. yeah,” you lightly bit your bottom lip as you looked at your lap, trying to think of the best way to ask him the question that had been on your mind for awhile; “what do you expect from me, eli?” wow, what kind of question was that?

it was an honest and upfront one, something he wasn't used to, practically sending him into shock as he had to look at you fully to see if you were actually serious and not pulling his leg, seeming like something you'd do. 

but you really wondered. 

“uh- i, what?”

you awkwardly laughed, looking to him, “no, i mean i really don't give a shit, i’m just not about to lead you into something you think you’re going to get nudes in, because your really not.” 

wow, really? 

he almost swore aloud, biting his lip hard, now realizing you really weren't going to be easy, not as easy as the girls who put out the moment you called them pretty, or even the ones who you had to take on a date before they even sent. 

fuck. 

he laughed it off, shaking his head as if you were a fool for thinking that, “you really think that low of me?”

no worries, there’s always plan b; make you feel bad. 

you laughed in return, “yeah, i really do.”

but he forgot you weren’t that stupid to fall for feeling bad just for something you weren’t about. 

“wow.”

“you wouldn't be the first.”

“so, I've heard,” he gripped his neck, eyes now glued to the road before turning into a neighborhood off from the main road, his mind following the map basically glued in his mind from driving past your house to dmitri’s. 

he parked, now seeming to ignore you as his whole plan begun to fall apart right before him. 

“thanks, eli,” you nodded to him, jumping out of the car with your bookbag in hand before beginning to trek up your front yard.

What would Ellie be like in this au?

Based on what Wallace said in him and Ellie’s convo, “annoying”

She’d probably be a pest to him like how she is wirh Dmitri, though never actually getting through to him since he’s too far gone.

Not sure if she’d work with anyone though. Haven’t really thought about it much. -🍃

“I haven’t even been talking about him that long!” Kingsley protested, even though he’d definitely lost track of time. It wasn’t his fault that Anson had so many great qualities. Granted he probably didn’t need to tell them all to Dmitry when they should be working, but he’d sat through plenty of Kveta Is Great talks. (Though he did agree with those ones.) “Probably. I probably haven’t been talking about him that long.”

“If you don’t stop talking about him, I’m going to turn off the lights.” Dmitry was not pouting. That wasn’t something Notts did, especially not dignified ones with businesses to run and employees to handle. He was just making a dignified statement in reaction to Kingsley’s persistence. “Lord Stair doesn’t like it.”

So about Molly Rushing

Can you guys kindly not hate on her?

I know that she’s not Christy. I know that she has a lot she can work on. But you guys need to step back for a minute and stop comparing her to Christy, and take into consideration how much more she’s doing than Christy.

One reason I really appreciate understudies (standbys are great too but it’s still easier I think) is because often times, they are ensemble members who sometimes even have other distinct roles in the cast (Molly being Young Anastasia) but still have to step into the huge shoes of a lead role. Standbys, on the other hand, learn their stuff and hang out and don’t have to learn anything else but that’s a whole different convo they are still phenomenal.

The point is, Molly, in a way, has to do even more than Christy. Why? Because Molly ALREADY HAS A ROLE IN THE SHOW. I’m on my phone so I’m doing caps instead of bold. But let’s just say that again... Molly already has a role in the show. In the ensemble numbers, she has different choreography, different harmonies, different staging. And she does that EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. So for her to step into a lead role means she, on top of learning everything else as an ensemblist, needs to now learn THE REST OF THE SHOW and entirely new set of harmonies, lyrics, dialogue, and choreography, as well as learn new exits and entrances and have different costume and wig changes.

The leads are always the leads and when they aren’t the leads it’s because they’re not there. When the ensemble isn’t the leads, they’re the ensemble and when the leads aren’t there, they are the leads!!!!

If they had like... Max learn all of Dmitry’s parts and go on and be Dmitry AND Gleb, y’all would be freaking out and saying how much work he’s doing and how crazy that is and how much you admire him for it.

Try doing the same for Molly. She’s doing the same thing, if not more, and she is doing her best. In addition to trying to bring the character to life for all of you (because if she didn’t do what she’s doing, who would be Anya?!), she’s trying to focus on doing it right and living up to your expectations because she knows you wanted Christy and trying to be Anya and not ensemble and just.. guys she’s doing her best.

Can’t that be enough for you?
