so i've been spending the entire day trying to write, and instead just edited the few paragraphs i wrote yesterday. we haven't even gotten to the point of the fic and i've already given q!charlie trauma! i don't know if i'll finish this fic at all so you can have this now. enjoy :3
"Juanaflippa! I'm home!"
Charlie set the backpack heavy with today's haul of materials and food next to the door and lifted his arms up above his head in an effort to relieve the ache in his shoulders. In his head he took inventory of his wounds and how critical they were.
Multiple scratches over his arms, bleeding from at least one of them. A slight burn in his ankle, most likely sprained, not fractured. Sore muscles from taking an involuntary bath in the freezing river. And now that he had arrived home and the adrenaline was wearing off, a previously unnoticed pain flaired up in his left shoulder. Rolling back his sleeve, he found an ugly gash, likely from an arrow grazing him. All in all, not too bad. At least nothing that needed immediate attention.
Which was good considering there's been an itch in the back of Charlie's mind since he left the house early this morning. The kind of itch that reminds you of old times. The kind of itch that makes you think you'll come home to a bedroom coated in your daughter's blood. The kind of itch that will drive you insane if you give it the time of day.
So he didn't give it the time of day. He kept venturing further out, to where there were still resources left untouched, and he fought back the critters of the night that crept out of cave openings like maws of stone, and he reminded himself of the gun under Flippa's pillow and the look of steely determination in her eyes.
But since he still hadn't heard any shuffling from upstairs in response to him calling out, and he knew the secret room was not as secret as he wished it was, he didn't want to lose any more precious time. So he kicked off his boots and hurried through the hidden door.
"Hello? Mi hija?" He elected to ignore the worried tremor in his voice, and instead focused on climbing the ladder, rung by rung. His shoulders tense in anticipation, he lifted the trapdoor and poked his head though the opening. He let his eyes sweep across the room. Crafting bench, chest, two signs, bed. And there in the back corner, Juanaflippa, seeminlgy unhurt.

Ruggie not wanting to drag Jack down economically because he loves Jack but knows that if Jack wants to spend a lifetime with him, he'll be joining the slums for a while since Ruggie can't leave the people there. Jack says that he doesn't mind and will help in any way he can.
Ruggie being scared to inflict what he's gone through being poor in the slums on someone he loves... Y'all see the vision?

I know this is cursed but hear me out;
Being a furry would probably not even be something to blink at in the THSC universe considering all the weird shit that's just Normal so I raise you. Just. Everyone's a furry.
It's just sorta. A Thing. Idk where I was going with this I just wanted to say furry Grigori

do you have thoughts on veronika x arei from drdt?
oh boy, do i!
i like all drdt wlw ships on principle, but that’s not what really drives me insane about veronika and arei. with veronika, as we’ve seen, she’s the living embodiment of the "i could make him worse" side of tumblr. she loves driving people to be more and more depraved - i mean, just look at her dialogue with arturo in trial 2! with all of that being said, i absolutely think she’d have a field day with arei. she’d have a lot of fun dissecting arei’s worldview.
this ship would go in completely different directions depending on where we are in canon. if it’s before arei’s attempted redemption, then veronika would probably drive her to get even worse. if it’s after, arei would try to "fix" veronika.
anyway besides all the overthinking i do think they’re genuinely quite cute lol. red/blue gfs real
