“From Enemies to Allies? The All-Star Weekend Just Got a Lot More Interesting with O’Hara and Taurasi Both On Team Delle Donne!”

I hated her. And I wanted her. And I didn’t know which feeling was stronger.

I hated it.

She was going to be on my side, and I hated it. But I hated more the fact that she was the only thing clouding my mind right now. I just made the All-Star team, and my thoughts went straight to her.

Her words, her voice, her talent, her body, her hands, her lips, her hips—

Stop. It. Right. There.

I shook my head as I stepped onto the court, the noise of the crowd surrounding me, but it felt muted in comparison to the chaos inside my mind. Diana Taurasi was a living legend, and now I had to play alongside her. I had spent months battling against her on the court, and now she was going to be my teammate.

Great. Just what I needed.

As the game began, I focused on my breathing, trying to block out the fact that she was always right beside me, moving with that effortless grace that had everyone talking. The first few minutes were a blur of adrenaline and deafening cheers, the thrill of the crowd igniting a fire in me. I was quick on my feet, executing plays and sinking shots. But every time I caught a glimpse of Diana out of the corner of my eye, a rush of irritation mixed with something dangerously close to desire surged through me.

“Nice pass!” she called out after I made an assist, and my heart raced, my body responding to her enthusiasm despite my annoyance. I shot her a glare, determined to keep my focus. “Shut your mouth and focus on the game, Taurasi.”

She chuckled, that infuriating laugh that somehow sent butterflies through me. “Just saying, kid. You might actually be useful.”

As the game wore on, we fell into a rhythm. The crowd erupted every time we executed a play, the energy lifting me higher with each basket. But every time Diana scored or made a defensive stop, I could feel the heat radiating from her, and it made my competitive spirit flare. I hated that I was so drawn to her.

I was that stupid moth who crashed against the glass of the lighting bulb.

By the end of the first half, we were in the lead, and I was feeling pretty good about myself. But as we huddled together, I could feel her presence just behind me, an electric charge that made it hard to concentrate on the coach’s strategy. I forced myself to focus on the game plan, but all I could think about was how close she was, how I could feel the warmth radiating off her.

After the final buzzer sounded, signaling our victory, the cheers of the crowd washed over me like a tidal wave. But before I could relish the win, I turned to find Diana standing right there, a triumphant grin plastered across her face. “See? Not so bad playing with me, huh?”

“Don’t push it,” I shot back, unable to hide the smirk threatening to break through.

She stepped closer, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “What’s wrong baby?”

My arms fell, as I walked to be just beside her, my lips close to her ear, my heart racing for reasons I refused to acknowledge. “I said don’t fucking push it”

“Star Power: O’Hara and Taurasi Prove They’re a Force to Be Reckoned With”

With that, we made our way to the after-party, the tension sizzling between us like a live wire. The place was packed, music blasting and lights flashing in every direction. I grabbed a drink, needing something to cool the heat rising in my cheeks from our earlier banter. But as the night wore on, and the small talk with people who I didn’t really care about, but for some reason they cared about me turned poisoned, I couldn’t shake the feeling of her presence. It was intoxicating and maddening all at once.

The atmosphere was full with excitement, laughter spilling from all corners of the room. I tried to drown out the noise, but every beat of the music seemed to pulse in time with my heart, and every glance in Diana’s direction sent a rush of heat through me.

I caught her across the room, chatting animatedly with some teammates, her laughter cutting through the crowd like a siren call. I tried to focus on my drink, but my eyes kept drifting back to her. The way she moved, the way she commanded attention, it was infuriating and captivating at the same time. I hated that she could pull me in like this.

“Earth to Victoria!” a A’ja nudged me, pulling me from my thoughts. “Girl you good? You’ve been staring at Taurasi like she’s about to jump off a cliff.”

“Shut up,” I replied, rolling my eyes even as I felt the heat creeping up my neck. “I’m just… observing.”

“Observing, huh? Is that how we calling that this days? You’ve got that look, like you’re about to take her out or something.”

“More like I want to beat the shit out of her” I shot back, forcing a laugh that didn’t quite reach my eyes.

But the truth was, I was feeling anything but hostile. The tension was thick in the air, and I could sense Diana moving closer, the hum of energy sparking between us like static electricity. She was a force of nature, and I hated that I wanted to get swept up in it.

I made my way through the crowd, drink in hand, hoping to find a quieter corner. I stood on a secluded part of the place, the music now muffled for the walls that separated me from the chaotic mess inside, but somehow, it was peaceful, well as peaceful as you could be in a party, that was until I felt a presence behind me.

I didn’t even had to look back, my head just hung low knowing exactly who was there.

“You’re really not going to let this go, are you?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light, even though my heart raced.

She looked at me, eyes glinting with mischief. “Let what go? The fact that we actually make a pretty good team? Or the fact that you’re secretly obsessed with me?”

“Fuck. Off.” I shot back, crossing my arms. “You know what? Every time you speak I actually consider throwing you into the nearest wall.”

“Is that a threat or a promise?” she replied, stepping closer, the air crackling between us.

I narrowed my eyes, refusing to back down. “I don’t think you really want to find out.”

“Why not? It could be fun,” she challenged, her voice low, enticing.

I felt my resolve slipping, drawn to her in a way that made my skin prickle with awareness. We were standing too close, the heat of her body igniting something deep within me.

Suddenly, the playful banter shifted, and I was acutely aware of every inch between us. “You’re fucking impossible,” I whispered, my breath catching in my throat.

“And you hate that you love it,” she shot back, her gaze steady, daring me to disagree.

I found myself leaning closer, caught in her magnetic pull. I couldn’t help it; the tension had become unbearable.

“Is this how you deal with the girls that make you feel threatened Taurasi?” I breathed, my heart racing.

“Only the ones that are pretty” she replied, her voice low and smooth.

Before I knew what I was doing, I pushed her shoulder lightly, my frustration boiling over. “How about you stop acting like a bitch who own the fucking place,” I hissed, but the fight was half-hearted.

“Yeah? How about I don’t” she smirked, pushing back against me with just enough force to knock me off balance. “Maybe I’ll own you too.”

I laughed, a sound laced with disbelief and desire. “You really think you’re the shit don’t you?”

Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she took a step closer, her breath mingling with mine. “Why don’t you find out?”

The room faded away as I stared into her eyes, the challenge hanging heavy between us.

And. I. Leaned. In.

I leaned in!!! Can you fucking believe that????

And suddenly we were kissing

It was raw and heated, our lips crashing together in a mix of frustration and longing.

It was reckless and intoxicating, and I hated how much I craved her. My hands found their way to her waist, pulling her closer as she deepened the kiss, her fingers threading through my hair.

When we finally pulled apart, breathless and wide-eyed, I felt a mix of triumph and disbelief. “What the fuck Taurasi” I whispered, half-laughing, half-stunned.

Diana smirked, the challenge still burning in her gaze. “I really think you know what the fuck O’Hara”

And just like that, she left, but now there was an undercurrent of something deeper, a connection I hadn’t expected but couldn’t ignore. I hated that I was drawn to her, that the fire between us was undeniable. But maybe, just maybe, this was a battle I was finally willing to lose.

Wait did I really said that?

"What the Hell Just Happened? Why Do Victoria O’Hara Always Ends Up In This Position?"

Re: the palisman thing, I can see a world where the average citizenry of the Isles is wary about carving Palisman (especially if Belos ramped up his collection of them in some way to get his snackies) so Dell + Bat Queen/whoever else Luz’s wild witchery allies are on this subject propose that Luz SHOULD actually carve a Palisman for herself to lead by example and show the Isles that the crusade against wild witchery and its practices are Over.

Also imagining Luz carving an egg again and then having to Sit With It while she tries to speed run figuring out/admitting her greatest wish is to be forgiven and how it NOT hatching in the meanwhile makes her feel like it’s some punishment like “Sorry! You haven’t done enough to earn this yet (False)”

luz carving an egg again because she's like "i'm giving my palisman SOME autonomy, so help me".... 🥺🥺🥺

on the subject of waiting for it to hatch, though -- i think her feelings would be a little more complex than pure self-loathing..... i think a huge part of her would Dread the palisman hatching. for reasons she cannot quite quantify.

(i can imagine hunter being like "why are you worried....? by DEFINITION your palisman is gonna love you" and her being like "hahaha! i guess i have internalized wild magic phobia. let's not examine this")

the reason is that she can't bear to accept unconditional love right now. so in some ways, i think luz's palisman would hatch right when she's finally, truly ready for it to hatch -- because it means she's ready to accept that this constant unhappiness & self-punishment is.... Deeply Pointless.

i DO like the idea of her still getting stringbean, though :) her desire may be a little different from her canon self's, but this luz has Plenty in common with a silly shapeshifter that can adapt to suit a bunch of different circumstances!!

Chapter 3 of my acotar gift exchange for @whyisaravenlike-awritingdesk is here!! It’s an epistolary chapter, and I hope you like it!

Read on AO3, but enjoy an excerpt and the historical notes below the cut!

December 1916

Sweetheart,

I know you said not to write, but I’ve only been back at the front for a week and I’ve already forgotten what exercises I’m meant to do for my arm, and none of the nurses here seem to understand quite like you. So you see, Nes—there was nothing I could do but write and beg you for a reminder at your earliest convenience.

Waiting patiently,

Your Favourite Patient

P.S. Happy Christmas, Nes.

Continue reading on AO3!

------------------------------------------------------------------

A few notes on the historical elements of this chapter:

Soldiers during WWI often had very active correspondence, and Nesta and Cassian’s exchange of letters is based on that phenomenon. At some points during the war, up to 12 million letters a week were delivered to soldiers at the front.

The poet Robert Graves (after whom Cassian’s wartime events are slightly modeled) served as part of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, which is why I’ve placed him in that battalion.

Feyre could have potentially joined Queen Mary’s Army Auxiliary Corps, which was founded in 1917 to use women to fill support roles in the war so that more more men could be freed to go to the front, but for the purposes of this story, she does not.

The Battle of Passchendaele (also called the Third Battle of Ypres) lasted from July to November 1917. It was a devastating and controversial battle on both sides, with somewhere between 200,000–400,000 casualties for both the Allied and the German forces.

Soldiers during WWI read and wrote a great deal of poetry, which is why I’ve made Rhys a poetry lover. There was a push in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the primacy of English literature, and Georgian poetry was hugely influential in this push. Georgian poetry was romantic and sentimental, often glorying in the hedonistic pleasures of English country life, and collections of Georgian poetry were published and widely circulated, even at the front, in 1912, 1915, 1917, 1919, and 1922. Poetry that emerged from the soldier poets (Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Isaac Rosenberg, etc.) was quite different and much bleaker.

In July of 1917, Lt. Siegfried Sassoon published “Finished with the War: A Soldier’s Declaration,” in which he protested the war and critiqued the leaders who shifted the war from one of “defence and liberation” to one of “aggression and conquest.” Sassoon was not court-martialed for doing so but was instead characterised as unfit for service and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital for shell shock.

Ethel M. Dell’s The Hundredth Chance was published in 1917, and the lines Cassian quotes are taken directly from the novel.

Vera Brittain (after whom Nesta’s character is loosely modeled) read English Literature before the war but switched to History when she returned to her studies in 1919.

The Battle of the Lys (also known as the Fourth Battle of Ypres) took place in April of 1918. Each side suffered about 80,000 casualties that month.

Cassain’s declaration in his final letter is a mix of his words to Nesta in ACOWAR and lines from Vera Brittain’s Testament of Youth.

GWitch 23 thoughts

Sorry for the wait on this, I had to rewatch a few times to really drink in everything that was going on. I didn't have the best knee-jerk reaction initially ( I enjoyed it ofc but was a bit ambivalent about some things) and wanted to give it a fair shake.

First up, seeing Suletta zip around like the ace pilot she is was quite rewarding and fun! Now all those auto-pilot rumors can be laid to rest. However, the circumstances weren't the best and it broke my heart she was gasping for air the entire time. I had no doubt she'd live but it's still miserable to witness that

Ah Lauda. Your tomfoolery knows no bounds. We knew this was coming after the last ep, but it's still a bit frustrating. On a technical narrative level, it works since we're seeing two sets of siblings confront their simmering tension with one another. On a personal level, I wasn't very amused. I first saw this at 4 in the morning and had no patience for Lauda lmao. But rewatching it a few times gave me a deeper appreciation for what's going on. He's really intent on scapegoating Mio for everything wrong in his life. Fitting for her role as the Rose Bride and Lauda's demonized witch

This little aside from Chuchu is so suspicious tbh. Considering Mio's failure at piloting, this seems to imply either she does not have a permet implant of any sort or a flat intolerance. I have a sneaking suspicion it'll become a factor in the next episode.

Mio staring wistfully at Cool-san/etc memento of Suletta will always grab me by the throat. Girl wants to wife up Suletta so bad. And really, who could blame her?

Schwarzette is so pretty and cool. Unfairly so. Like, why did you make that thing so unique and cool? For dipstick Lauda?? Who is that pink permet for and why does it look like Utena??? ANSWER ME OKOUCHI

That's nice of Delling to rise from his sickbed to try and negotiate with the SAL. Unfortunately, this would be for naught because they're here to purge and replace. Not make nice. It was the thought that counts, I suppose.

Speaking of, the debut of a solar ray blindsided me. I mean, yeah it's Gundam, but I kinda thought we were skipping the big death ray lmao. After sitting on it, I think I know where it's headed. Totally on brand for SAL too in hindsight. They like to act removed, but they're just as entrenched as Benerit in the skeevy corpo politics. Allying with Ochs and now Peil cements it

Check the link above to see my Utena related thoughts on this moment btw. It might be the highlight of the episode beyond the Prospera confrontation. Stunned they finally stopped playing coy and seemingly confirm Notrette is indeed a GUND entity residing in pseudo hell, and likely a GWitch newtype like Eri

This was very sweet and I enjoy it more on a rewatch but I also understand why I and so many people had a gut-deep aversion to this subplot. The issue is entirely investment based imo, and tbh I just don't care that much about the Jeturk family dynamics. At best, I don't mind them. Guel is a bro but Lauda is SO exhausting on multiple levels. His misogyny and gross negligence of Petra in favor of revenge doesn't help.

If something came of this other than Lauda/Guel sibling closure, I'd consider it fulfilling. But if you lack investment in the conflict, it's going to feel limp or frustrating in comparison to the siblings you want to see. So while I appreciate the parallel with Suletta/Eri and the continuing subtext of witch coded Mio, that's it for me. But hey, it serves a purpose. A tragic cycle was broken after all, thanks to love and MVP Felsi!

The one big gripe I have after consideration is this man's continued existence. Kenanji doesn't deserve to play buddy buddy with the cast. He's a dirty space cop who bullies children and murdered Nadim, now he's joking with 5lan? The hell. I get the theme of the show is forgiveness and not perpetuating the cycle of revenge but... really? KENANJI gets to be happy but Norea/Sophie don't? Sigh

It was so dirty of Eri to use Suletta's love for Mio against her. She knows Suletta would panic over their mother possibly 'gaining two'. It's crafty and unrepentant, but Suletta holds fast. Her faith in Mio is greater than her idle fears

Mio scolding Prospera over her favoritism was great. We love a fiancé willing to take a stand against her shit in-laws. Speaking of, looks like Mio has fully embraced becoming a Mercury one day. 'All of us will be family' YEAH YOU WILL so suck it up Prospera. The holidays are gonna be so awkward

Btw love Mio was shouting at her while having an emotional breakthrough deciphering her mother's QZ riddle. This moment was excellent and easily superceded my minor gripes. UGH when will you reveal Notrette's whole deal GWitch? We're waiting

Such a bittersweet moment. We know from the Blessing and Cradle Planet that Eri loves her sister but it may not have been until this moment that Suletta understands her feelings. Now, I don't think she's 'dead' tbh. Or deader anyway. I suspect it's a false flag to hook you until the finale. It would be quite anti-climactic if she passed without a proper goodbye. I'm still holding out on a Tempest end where Prospera voluntarily sets her free.

The next Sunday will be our last. Hard to believe tbh. Feels like just yesterday we set out on this spectacular journey. Que sera sera! I'll see y'all in the finale~

Notes:

The episode timestamps might not be totally accurate since I was watching this on a... ahem... legal website.

The timestamps are from when you could clearly and obviously see the shop signs. Like, Ziga's is visible from like episode one but couldn't be clearly read.

Some of the comics were just in shop windows and not really associated with a character so be careful. That is not a list of every comic the turtles have read. Like the Timely Times has only been in the background, not read by a particular turtle.

There were LOADS of shops where the shop name was in Chinese (or Japanese, I don't know) and so I couldn't list. Most of the shops by the Chinatown arch weren't in english. That's why even Murakami's shop isn't listed here. Because the actual shop name wasn't in english.

Thanks for reading through this. Hopefully this was useful for... anyone out there.

[lookingforhappy]

another of Five's cases while working as management for the Commission was the execution of Benito Mussolini and his mistress Claretta Petacci - Mussolini was the dictator of Italy in the 1940s and entered Italy into WWII on the side of the Nazi's. Italy was pretty pissed about this and started a resistance against him.

transcript:

MEMORANDUM ON INTENDED EVENTS RE: THE DEATH OF BENITO MUSSOLINI AND CLARETTA PETACCI April 28, 1945 Event to Occur: On 27 April 1945, Mussolini and his mistress Claretta Petacci, together with other fascist leaders, will be travelling in a German convoy near the village of Dongo on the north westen shore of Lake Como. A group of local communist partisans led by Pier Luigi Bellini delle Stelle and Urbano Lazzaro will the convoy and forced it to halt. The partisans will recognise one Italian fascist leader in the convoy, but not Mussolini at this stage, and make the Germans hand over all the Italians in exchange for allowing the Germands to proceed. Mussolini will later be recognized among the convoy passengers. The partisans will arrest Mussolini and take him to Dongo, where he will spend part of the night in the local barracks. Over fifty fascist leaders and their families will be found in the convoy and arrested by the partisans. Aside from Mussolini and Petacci, sixteen of the most prominent of them will be summarily shot in Dongo the following day and a further ten will be killed over two successive nights. Claretta Petacci, Mussolini's mistress, will be captured and executed with him. Fighting will still be going on in the area around Dongo. Fearing that Mussolini and Petacci might be rescued by fascist supporters, the partisans will drive them, in the middle of the night, to a nearby farm of a peasant family named De Maria; this will be a safe place to hold them. Although several conflicting versions and theories of how Mussolini and Petacci died were put forward after the wat, the account of Walter Audisio, or at least is essential components, remains the most credible and id sometimes referred to in Italy as the "official" version. It was largely confirmed by an account provided by Aldo Lampredi and the "classical" narrative of the story was set out in books written in the 1960s by Bellini delle Stelle and Urbano Lazzaro, and the journalist Franco Bandini. Although each of thses accounts vary in detail, they are consistent on the main facts. Audisio and Lampredi left Milan for Dongo early on the morning of 28 April to carry out the orders Audisio had been given by Longo. On arrival in Dongo, they met Bellini delle Stelle, who was the local partisan commander, to arrange for Mussolini to be handed over to them. Audisio used the nom de guerre of "Colonnello Valerio" during his mission. In the evening of 28 April, the bodies of Mussolini, Petacci, and the other executed fascists were loaded onto a van and trucked south to Milan. On arriving in the city in the early hours of 29 April, they were dumped on the ground in the Piazzale Loreto, a suburban square near the main railway station. The choice of location was deliberate. Fifteen partisans had been shot there in August 1944 in retaliation for partisan attacks and Allied bombing raids, and their bodies had then been left on public display. At the time Mussolini is said to have remarked "for the blood of Piazzale Loreto, we shall pay dearly".

To CASE MANAGER 0043 From FIELD AGENT 00293 Subject Mussolini and Petacci Assassination Pneumatic Transit Code [multiple strongs of number as seen in the image above] My recommendation is to reconsider our current outlook concerning the viability of the subject's tool of action, a submachine gun, in light of recent events. The project has stalled at numerous points over the past months and contines to progress at a menial pace. Should the current iteration of the device be completed as is it will fail to provide enough force to puncture the fuel tank given the density of the aluminum alloy used in the manufacturing of the encasement. I expect that the subject will proceed as required.

That's fair that's fair. It's just funny to think about.

...

I barely feel like I've made it past 18, let alone being 22 years, finishing college, almost out and getting a job, being an adult...

Do you guys remember what you were doing when you were in your early twenties?

"Escaping gulag & building cabin in mountains." Mikhail says.

"Being in an abusive arranged marriage." Ludwig hums.

"Doing espionage for the Allies during the war." Jacques adds with a puff on his cigarette.

Dell pulls down his goggles to stare at them all, "I was at university, partying & studying, like a normal young adult. Although I do suppose I did become a widower in my early 20s."

"Ooh, me too!" Ludwig giggles & reaches over for a high five. Dell gives him a look & Ludwig very slowly retracts his hand & hides behind Misha.

I'm just saying, but if Suletta had been aware of Prospera and Eri's plans from the beginning she 100% would have supported them. Early Miorine would likely not have cared about Quiet Zero either or her position as potential president of the Benerit Group because all of that was spurred on and encouraged by her affections for Suletta. For sure Suletta would have done in a good word for Earth House and Miorine to Prospera and Eri, who would likely accommodate her request.

Because please remember, Quiet Zero wasn't only Prospera's project, it was Dellings Project too. Not only that, Prospera must have more than a decent amount of support from as of now unknown people who aided her in her plans. If Suletta has been involved, she'd likely have met countless of people who'd back up her mothers actions in her mind, allowing her to justify her actions.

Suletta absolutely loves her mother and sister, and while you all have a bone to pick with Prospera, Suletta simply doesn't. Suletta is a dutiful and loving daughter who, had things gone a little differently, would be right there with her mother and sister aiding the Quiet Zero project. Thats not to say that Suletta is evil, Suletta would simply have no reason to care about the consequences of her mother and her allies actions as, again, they would be justified in her eyes.

Also Suletta wouldn't be evil or brainwashed, she'd simply be slightly different world view. In fact, from her perspective it might even be righteous and justified. With the help of all her mothers allies, the organisation that obviously backed Prospera and even worked together with Delling at one point, and with the help of Eri who is inside of the data storm, Suletta would be helping with potentially bringing in a new era of peace, in which current weapons of destruction and oppression, that brought her mother and her allies such grief and resulted into the deaths of hunderds if not thousands, would be put out of commission and into the control of her beloved sister.

Old post, didn't want to throw it away but still relevant.
