#do you think fox and cyrus would bond?

[snowsdelulusketches]

Oops...?

The less bloodier version is below the cut if blood upsets you. 😅

But, anyway, it's Mercy and Fox (from left to right). I'm going to point out some of the small details because I spent two hours on this, I'm going to talk about it.

Fox doesn't have a visible sketch (the general shapes are still there, of course) because she's not actually there.

"You brought them home." Is a reference to Reunion Square, where Fox says: "Get them home alive" towards Mercy. Pretty blatant, but, yeah.

Uh, diving into captain obvious stuff, but the text matches their colors. Yeah, I don't know why I made it a list. It really didn't need to be...

Context(?): Mercy is sitting in front of a door (hence the light), hiding from the Warriors after going out (unassisted) and paying the consequence for it. She's not badly beat, just suffering from beat-up knuckles and a bloody nose. Swan told her not to go out - she didn't have directions of the place and was clearly not in the right head space if anything happened - Mercy, clearly, did not follow that warning and is trying to avoid Cochise (the best with an aid kit) to avoid a lecture. Here, she sits, alone and drained from a long day. Fox sits with her, fully understanding she can not comfort their new member, yet that won't stop her from trying. (I originally drew Cyrus with Fox too, trying to make sense of the scene. Fox simply said, 'Family doesn't leave family.' and Cyrus was left to think about it.)

However, you can make your own story. Creativity and stuff!! 🗣

Howling at the Moon (pt. 2)

part one

Swan always felt cold. Always. It didn't matter if she was right in front of the fire in the cabin living room, it didn't matter if she was in her wolf form or not, Swan was always cold. It drove Cleon a bit crazy, always putting an extra blanket over Swan or shoving mittens her way at the hint of the slightest chill.

How this all affected Cleon had to be the worst part of the situation. Far and away.

After all, Cleon picked her up when no one else would, back when Swan was just a random kid abandoned by the wolf that bit her. Only two months after getting kicked out of her house, too, so that was great. Cleon scooped her up, though, and brought her home. Taught her everything a young wolf needed to know. They lived less isolated, back then, in a farmhouse at the edge of a midsize town, just her and Cleon until she started picking up other strays around the time Swan started high school.

Swan heard Cleon talking one night, after everything happened. She was supposed to be asleep, but, instead, Swan perched on the top of the staircase of their new house that didn't feel like home and listened to Cleon.

"I let myself get distracted," Cleon said. "I wanted to build a pack. I wanted her to have what I had growing up and I just- I love you guys, you know I do, but I let her down."

"You can't blame yourself-" Cochise tried.

"She's my responsibility. I should have known everything about everyone she hung around, let alone someone she could start developing feelings for!" Cleon hissed. "I should have explained mating and not let myself believe she was too young for that crap. I know better and instead I let her down and now she's tied for life to a-"

"Hey." Swan jumped at the voice right by her ear.

Cowgirl smiled down sadly as she crouched next to her on the top step. "You don't need to be listening to this."

"I-" It was only when she tried to speak that Swan realized she was crying.

"C'mon, hon," Cowgirl helped her to her feet. "Let's get you back to bed."

It had been six years since then. Swan liked to think that she, at twenty-two, was better equipped to handle such issues as a screwed-to-hell mating bond than at sixteen. She only thought about Mercy once a day, now.

Figuring out that Mercy and her crew were hunting them down, though? As a coming-of-age ritual? Less fun. A lot less fun.

Especially because Cleon wanted to end this.

"...what does that mean?" Cochise asked when Cleon announced it to the pack. The other packs were game - once you got Cyrus on your side, like Cleon managed, the other packs of their woods would follow suit.

"We're taking out the head hunters," Cleon said. "If they cross into our territory, we are going on offense in a way we never have before."

An uneasy silence settled over the pack. Swan kept her eyes on the toes of her dirt-encrusted sneakers.

"Who, exactly, does that mean?" Cowgirl asked.

"Mercy Lane and Sully Morgan," Cleon said. "They should be pretty identifiable. The Lanes and Morgans are the two-"

"Absolutely the fuck not, are you insane?!" Cowgirl exclaimed.

Swan closed her eyes against the noise as the pack erupted.

"Do you know what that could do to Swan? No, that's not even a question-!" Cochise.

"-Can't believe you would even fucking suggest it!" Cowgirl.

"No, no, we can't- Even if she's...That's practically against pack..." Fox. Quiet, as always. She'd come to them from a pack that had been decimated by hunters, an old, old pack with strong ties to the old world ways and still worshipped the moon as a goddess.

"Swan agreed to the order," Cleon said, clear and firm, cutting through the noise.

It went silent, again.

"I want to hear it from her, then." Ajax.

Of course it was Ajax.

Swan looked to one of their newest members. She should have guessed Ajax and Rembrandt were mates. It made sense, the way they orbited each other, they were probably never cold-

It didn't matter.

"The Lanes are an old hunter family with only one real heir," Swan muttered, looking at the carpet in front of Ajax. "Take out Lane, that family will crumble. It's for the good of all of us if we do it."

"Okay." Ajax said, far too easily. "Say that again looking me in the fucking eye and I might believe you."

"Ajax-" Cochise.

"No," Ajax interrupted. "If you're going to make me go after a pack member's mate, that pack member is gonna need to be the one to tell me to do it. Cleon, I know you don't have much experience with this, it's going to kill her if you do this stupid."

"This was a difficult enough decision for her already," Cleon ground out. "You do not need to make this more difficult-"

"It doesn't seem like she made the decision!" Ajax exclaimed. "Did you actually ask her or did you convince her?"

"Mercy did a pretty good job convincing me six years ago," Swan said, pulling Ajax's attention back to her. "I appreciate what you're trying to do. If you don't feel comfortable...just tell me where she is."

Ajax's eyes went wide for a second. "No. No, you aren't doing that. There is no way your wolf will-"

"Considering she caused this fucking situation, my wolf's gonna have to learn to deal with it," Swan snarled. Ajax's eyes flashed yellow at the challenge, but Rembrandt's quick hand on her elbow brought Ajax's human mind forward.

Pity. Swan could use the fight.

"Mercy Lane needs to die. So does Sully Morgan," Swan said to the pack at large. "We need to put the hunters on the run for once." ---------------

Mercy Lane was going to murder Sully Morgan. She was going to murder Sully Morgan and run as deep and far into these woods as she could and pray to whomever the fuck was out there she ran into a wolf who might listen to her for just two seconds before trying to rip out her throat. Unfortunately, that would put about thirty other young, trigger-happy hunters on her ass as well which would be the opposite of helpful.

She should have run away. Mercy realized that now, she should have run away instead of waiting for her parents to approve her first hunt. She thought she could go off on her first hunt and disappear. They would assume she died and, yes, they would mourn, but Lanes did not do vengeance killings. If you died on a hunt, it was simply the sign of a poor hunter. You barely mourned deaths on a hunt, let alone on a first hunt.

Mercy underestimated the importance of being the sole Lane heir.

Which meant her parents reached out to the Morgans.

And Mercy's first chance of freedom without being tracked across the country turned into some god awful camping trip with thirty boys. Boys, regardless of their ages, because they were the most immature, arrogant, brainless people Mercy ever met.

To make matters worse? Mercy's parents decided that they needed to go hunting in the Riversend Woods. The largest old growth forest in the country, teeming with supernatural life. Humans rarely went in at all and hunters treated it as a sort of sanctuary - if they stayed in there, they would leave them alone.

But no. No. Here Mercy was with thirty young hunters at the edge.

Swan was in there. Mercy knew it, deep in her bones. It was the only place Swan take her pack, the only place Swan would feel safe after Mercy-

God. The memories of that night made Mercy feel sick to her stomach. The thought of how terrified Swan must have been as Mercy-

It took over a month for Mercy to realize why Swan ran. Why her heartbreak over Swan leaving felt deeper than it should. All-encompassing and aching and awful. Not to mention, overheating, though it felt a little ridiculous to tie Mercy's new inability to wear more than the thinnest layer of clothing to Swan leaving.

It wasn't until Mercy found the bite that she realized.

It was on her lower back, just to the left of her right hip. Her memories of that night were foggy, so God knows how it ended up back there. Scarred silver, but clear.

And, suddenly, a lot of things made a lot more sense.

The respect Swan had for her older sister, Cleon, that always seemed more than normal. How she would take a few days off from school every month. A wildness about her that both intimidated and attracted Mercy from the first moment they met.

At first, Mercy panicked. Lycanthropy transferred through bite, everyone knew that-

But Mercy never shifted. The bite was still there, still more than a scar, but Mercy never shifted or became unimaginably violent or...anything werewolves did. A family journal taught her about mating.

Wolves mate for life. They used to believe that mating was the moon goddess stitching souls together.

Unsurprisingly, the journal had been Crazy Great Aunt Gertrude's. The one who died by a crazed werewolf she thought was her friend. Mom told Mercy bedtimes stories about Crazy Great Aunt Gertrude as warnings of what happened if you befriended the supernatural.

Well.

Mercy went and did a little more than befriend.

It hadn't taken long for everything to unravel after that. For Mercy to start biting her tongue so hard she drew blood.

Because Swan wasn't like the stories. Swan was patient and kind, strong and reserved. Loving. Those few months Mercy had with Swan were the most loved-filled months of her life. And if Swan wasn't like the stories, maybe none of them were.

All Mercy wanted was to find Swan and apologize. She would fall to her knees if that is what it took, she just...she needed Swan back.

Standing at the edge of her home with a bunch of hunters did not seem the best way to go about this.

Standing at the edge of her home with a hunter who was actively proposing to her? Indescribably worse.

"Dude, what are you talking about?" Mercy finally interrupted as Sully started rambling about the strength of the families.

"Well, surely your parents have told you about the betrothal," Sully said. Mercy hated his smug mouth. "We've been matched since birth."

Mercy felt sick. "Sorry. Not happening."

Sully blinked. Furrowed his brow, "You don't really have a choice in the matter. It's settled."

"Uh, I get a choice, and I say no," Mercy said.

"Listen, here, I am trying to be chivalrous-"

"Oh, is that what this is?!"

"Our parents have-"

And that was a giant wolf tackling Sully to the ground. Holy shit.

They never did this. Werewolves never went after hunter groups like this. Vampires did, sometimes, because they were stronger and blended in easier, but werewolves?

Werewolves waited for the defense.

To have them leap out of the forest like that?

It was suddenly occurring to Mercy that she was in a lot more danger than she realized.

As the wolf turned to her, big and menacing and wow, that was a lot of Sully's blood, Mercy's hands went above her head.

And she said the first thing that came to mind: "Tell Swan I'm sorry."

Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Sorry? Sorry didn't even begin to tell Swan all the things Mercy wanted to say. Not even I love you, but I'm sorry. This wolf might not even know Swan, for fuck's-

The wolf wasn't attacking her.

It just stared.

Then, it was shifting and there was a large, buff woman standing in front of Mercy. She wore jeans with ratted cuffs and a tank top and a brown vest, like the one Swan always wore. According to Aunt Gertrude's journal, the one Mercy found hidden under the third floor board in the attic after she decoded Aunt Gertrude's official journal, werewolves wore identifiers to signal to other supernatural creatures what pack they belonged to; pack animals to the core, to not be apart of a pack, to not have everyone know who you belonged to, was a cut deeper than any physical wound. Seeing the vest on this new woman, it made the ever-present ache sting a bit more.

"Mercy Lane," the woman said. She looked a bit older than Mercy.

Mercy nodded. "Yeah- Yes. Yes, I am Mercy Lane. Do- do you know Swan?"

The woman's jaw flexed as she narrowed her eyes at Mercy. Then, "Lower your arms. Behind your back."

Mercy blinked. "What?"

Then, suddenly, her training kicked back in and she realized there was someone behind her. Not close, yet, but definitely there.

"Lower your arms, behind your back. Now." The woman in front of her said.

So Mercy did. She even crossed them at the wrist in the small of her back, not surprised when she felt them grabbed roughly and rope started tying around them.

"Cleon's not gonna be happy about this," the person tying Mercy's hands - a woman, it seemed - said.

"Yeah, well, you're the asshole who made me imagine what this would be like," the first woman grumbled. "Got her tight?"

"Yeah. Got her."

The first woman pointed a finger at Mercy. "You do a single thing that makes me think you're gonna hurt her," the finger moved over Mercy's shoulder, "and you're dead. Got it?"

"Yes," Mercy said. Then, because she couldn't help herself, "Are you taking me to Swan?"

"Yeah. Don't look too happy about it yet," the first woman said. Then, to herself, "This is so stupid, what the fuck are we doing?"

Which was how Mercy found herself being marched through Riversend Woods, escorted by two werewolves. It was interesting, the differences between the two. Where the first woman was tall and muscular and beyond intimidating, the second was smaller, lean, and had the bounciest, curly hair Mercy had ever seen.

"Stop looking at her," the first woman growled after the third time Mercy looked over her shoulder to look at the second. "Actually, switch with me, I should be holding her."

"Either you hold her or she doesn't look at me, you can't have it both ways." The second woman said cheerfully. "And, no, if you try, she's going to fall over a root and hurt herself. This is a job for a scout, thanks."

"Rembrandt, I swear- Aw, motherfucker!"

"You lasted half an hour without saying my name in front of the dangerous hunter heir. Congratulations."

They were weird. Mercy liked them.

Though she was exhausted by the time they reached the large, log cabin in the woods. The door flew open as soon as they entered the clearing.

Cleon. Mercy hadn't known her very well, only met her a handful of times, but she recognized her immediately.

"What the fuck did you two do?!" Cleon demanded. "Why is she here?"

Oh. That was not good.

"Cleon-" The first woman tried.

"Ajax, I don't want to hear it! You had orders, you knew the orders-"

"They're bad orders," Rembrandt interrupted. "Bad orders that Ajax was going to follow through on, but the situation changed. Can you at least let us explain or would you rather be a dictator like you've decided you want to try out recently?"

The words made Cleon pause.

Ajax took advantage of the pause: "She wants to tell Swan she's sorry."

For the first time, Cleon actually looked at Mercy.

Mercy kind of wanted to melt into the forest floor.

"What." The word came out as a statement as her eyes bored into Mercy.

"For that night," Mercy decided to try. "I- I wanted to say I'm sorry, for everything that happened after- I'm just sorry."

She was dead. She was so dead.

"You want to say sorry yet you bring a horde of hunters to our door." Yeah. Cleon was not impressed.

"That was not my call," Mercy said. "At all. I promise."

"Oh, you promise," Cleon repeated with a disbelieving laugh. "You promise? What the fuck does that even-?"

Yeah. Mercy was dead.

"It isn't her fault who her family is," Rembrandt said. "If she's willing to try...If she wants to be different, why would you want to make Swan go through this?"

"She's been going through this for six years," Cleon growled, eyes narrowed and darting between Mercy and Rembrandt.

Indignation bubbled up in Mercy. "You left! You didn't even give me a chance to understand what the fuck was happening, you were gone before I even realized we'd been mated!"

"We left to prevent your family from hunting us like animals!"

"I wouldn't have let them do that!" Mercy screamed.

Because screaming in the face of a pack leader was a good idea. Obviously.

"What exactly are you doing now?!"

"Oh, for fuck's sake, they're children," Mercy said. "Ajax killed Sully, kidnapped me, they'll run for the hills as soon as they realize. I just needed time to figure out how to ditch them."

Cleon studied her for a moment. Dragged a hand down her face and, in the most defeated voice, said, "Bring her inside. Living room."

They sat Mercy on the couch. No one spoke, Ajax and Rembrandt sat together on a loveseat while Cleon paced and no one spoke. A fire crackled in the fire place.

"Can you kill that please?" Mercy asked as a sweat began to break out on her forehead.

"The cabin's not well-insulated," Cleon said after a moment.

"Move me away from the fire, then?" Mercy tried. "I'm boiling."

"You're hot?" Cleon asked, like it was an insult to her specifically.

"Yes, I am."

"Cleon, for fuck's sake," Ajax muttered before getting up and moving Mercy herself. Mercy barely heard what Ajax said to Cleon as she made her way back to the loveseat, "Swan's not going to thank you for this shit."

Mercy was almost asleep when the door opened and women flooded into the living room. Mercy only had eyes for the one.

Swan.

She looked thinner than Mercy remembered. More severe, like she hadn't laughed properly in a long time. But she wore that vest and Mercy was just so happy to see her at all...

Swan did not look similarly happy as she looked to Cleon. "This was not the agreement."

"She wants to say sorry, apparently," Cleon said, gesturing to Ajax and Rembrandt.

Swan looked to Ajax and Rembrandt. To Cleon. Back to Ajax and Rembrandt. Then was suddenly moving very fast to the couch.

Ajax was between Mercy and Swan in seconds.

"Move," Swan growled.

"Think about this," Ajax said.

Swan barked a laugh. "That's rich coming from you."

"Swan, think about this."

"...I want to talk to her alone."

"...are you going to bring her back here?"

It was an uncomfortable amount of time before Swan said, "Yes," and Ajax moved away. Swan grabbed Mercy's bicep and pulled her to her feet, shoving Mercy ahead of her and out of the living room. Up a flight of stares. And into a bedroom that Mercy quickly determined was Swan's.

When the door closed, Mercy was speaking. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I scared you that night. I'm sorry I made you think you had to leave and that you couldn't tell me what happened and I'm sorry that I showed up with all those hunters and-"

"Stop talking," Swan interrupted. Mercy shut up.

Except Swan was just staring at her.

"I'm sorry that-"

"Oh, for fuck's sake," Swan's laugh was a wet, broken sound as she leaned against the back of her door. "Can you please not be you for two seconds?"

"Sorry," Mercy said, sheepish.

"They had orders to kill you," Swan said.

Oh, lovely.

"Take out the heir, take out the family and all that," Swan continued. "I approved it."

That hurt. "I understand."

"I didn't want to," Swan said. "I really didn't, but, Mercy, what am I supposed to do?! You came with hunters!"

"It was my parents," Mercy tried to explain. "I never wanted to. My plan was to run off on my first hunt, find you and explain that I understand now. I'm sorry about what happened and...I miss you." Mercy took a breath, "Fuck, I still love you, Swan."

Swan's eyes closed as if the words hurt her. "Don't say that."

That hurt. "Okay."

"You can't say shit like that," Swan choked out. "It's not- That isn't fair."

"I understand."

"Stop being so understanding!" Swan's hands were fisted in her hair now.

Shit.

"Hey, hey, I'm sorry, okay," Mercy tried, hyperaware of her hands still tied behind her back. "Swan, Swan, listen to me, please, okay? It's okay. You're okay, all right? Whatever you want to happen next, that's what's going to happen."

"No, it isn't," Swan said. At least she was speaking.

"Yes, it is. You're in control right now, okay?"

"Well, I want you to stay, and I don't think that's going to happen, is it?" Swan spat.

"I want to stay, too," Mercy said, hoping growing in her chest for the first time in hours. "Is that really what you want?"

"Of course it is," Swan looked at her like she was an alien speaking a bizarre language.

"Than we can work with that."

To Be Cont'd

@asthedeathoflight

[thosebrookfieldgirls]

🎵 and 📚 for the girls!

Ah~ I love this~ I’ll be doing all the girls as requested 

Ok first one: Song for said OC

So for the girls, songs for them tends to depend on where they are in their story, so I’m went with general song that fit their over all story as well as slight explanations 

Valentina [Clarity feat. Foxes by Zedd]: Valentina’s character conflict mostly comes from her desire to go home to her loving family but also having developed deep emotional bonds with with those in Twisted Wonderland. Mainly Deuce. So she finds herself majorly conflicted a lot so I feel this song was a good fit for that. 

Kristina [Can’t Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus]: Kris’s biggest problem is she constantly runs into people that are trying to change her. She’s brash and crass and completely unapologetic about it. Kris marches to her own beat and she refuses to change for anyone who doesn’t like that part of her which makes people either love or hate her for it and has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. 

Anne Marie [ Bad Blood by Taylor Swift]: If you keep up with the story you know that Anne tends to be a pretty petty and holds onto grudges like it is her job. Particularly with Jude since she holds Jude to a higher standard then she does everyone else as they were super close childhood friends. Honestly this song can sum up a lot of their conflict pretty nicely 

Judith [Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez]: This song was one of the first ones I thought of when I was working on Judith’s character. It is a actually influenced Jude’s family dynamic as far as her parents. It perfectly sums up her life back in Brookfield I think, where as This Life is Mine from RWBY was another one that influenced Jude but it more suits her for reasons that would be spoilers. 

Kimberlee [Girl Next Door by Saving Jane]: Kim struggles a lot with her own personal appearance. She struggles with a lot of people mistaking her for a guy with her short hair, height, and boyish appearance. While this might be a little more violent then Kim would ever be, this does have the same sentiment for what Kim ends up feeling a lot of times when compared to the other girls. 

Eva [Absolutely (Story of a Girl) by Nine Days]: Eva has had it rough. As far as trauma goes she could probably tie with Jude depending on your view of what would be worse, what happened to her or what happened to Jude. This song I feel does a good job at showing her more alt/punk look and feel while also hinting as her sadder life. 

Fiona [Raise Your Glass by P!NK]: Fiona where I currently have her as a character (knock on wood that no story or event comes out where I have to recon her as bad as I have Eva) but this I feels fit her upbeat but still softer acceptance of the oddballs and misfits as she also tends to be a bit of a social ghost. Loved by everyone but never fully accepted into any group. 

Next Question: What is their favorite subject? 

Valentina: Geography, she’s pretty good at memorizing the various landscapes and names of places. She would have liked Spanish more having her mother right there to help her, but the school teaches Castilian Spanish instead of Latin Spanish so she sometimes struggles.  For her favorite subject at Night Raven College, she’s doing really well with Ancient Charms since it’s just a bunch of vocab--making it hard for Grim to drag her grade down. 

Kristina: Her favorite subject is PE, this is because she rarely to never has to actually read things in this class. Having only been diagnosed with her Dyslexia since coming to Twisted Wonderland she’s still struggling to learn coping mechanisms, but the other girls are more then happy to help her while she’s learning. For this reason, PE is still her favorite subject even at NRC. Vargas likes to use her as the bar for effort in class 3-A. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it, right? 

Anne Marie: Accounting is her go to. She’s always been really good with numbers and quick math. She likes the satisfaction with balancing a spread sheet best of all though. It was also a practical career option that her mother pushed on her. Since there isn’t an accounting class at NRC though, Music is definitely become her favorite subject as singing is her real passion. 

Judith: Jude is good at a lot of subjects, but her favorite by far is Psychology. She loves getting to see how people work and the reasons behind their behavior. She’s been subconsciously psychoanalyzing people since she was young having been trained for the cut throat social environments of the upper class. Though, she really only uses it to read her friends to filth now. Now in Twisted Wonderland and NRC where Psychology is still a budding science, Jude finds she likes Magical Analysis and getting to break down how magic works in this world. 

Kimberlee: Home Economics was Kim’s bread and butter. She’s a complete wiz at all things domestic from cleaning, to cooking, to sewing, to book keeping and budgeting. She likes how ‘girly’ it makes her feel doing more traditionally feminine things though she’s finding it isn’t considered feminine at all in Twisted Wonderland and is just considered basic living skills. But at NRC since there isn’t a Home Ec. class she’s enjoying Alchemy a lot, it’s kind of like cooking right? Plus she’s Crewel’s favorite out of all the girls so he helps make the class easier. 

Eva: Eva’s mom is a tech wiz and so Eva grew up around technology pretty heavily as well. And as they say like mother like daughter, so she took to Computer Science like a fish to water. She has a crazy high words per minute and knows several computer programming languages. This hasn’t changed since coming to NRC as Mr. Candence loves to show her the ropes of the Magical Engineering class. Though, she wishes he would let her do more programming rather then using her as a live test dummy for her classmates projects! 

Fiona: Fiona’s favorite subject back home was English. She loves writing and since they didn’t have any animal classes it was the next best thing for her as reading has been an escape since her parents death several years ago. But since coming to NRC and not being allowed to enroll in the Magical Animal Care classes until she’s a third year, she likes Astrology best since she also loves stargazing.

The Royal Recap: A Tale of Two Houses

It’s time for my thoughts on chapter 3 of TRM and I almost managed to get this out before chapter 4 aired but Tumblr was working against me. Oops. But I was trying to catch up from the first two chapters, plus Halloween. Hopefully I’ll be on track from here on.

As always, I refer to both Hunter and Kayden as men because they are in my playthrough. I also refer to Kayden as Dante.

We open this chapter with the MC about to get ready for the Grand Hunt and our aunts burst in. Aunt Elise (the nice one) is apologetic. But Aunt Zya is unrepentant and she is also pissed that we are now officially the head of our house. Oops. Maybe we should have consulted them? Nah, they are terrible, they can suck it up.

Thankfully that conversation is interrupted by Renza. Interestingly, Zya seems a little wary of Renza and issues us a warning, and then the aunts depart and leave us with Renza, who is there to extend an offer from House Fierro to escort us to the hunt.

There is a large caravan waiting for us, including Dante (as a guard) and Hunter. We ride in a coach with Hunter and Renza and they, specifically Renza, wastes no time getting to business. But first, she hands us a glass of whatever beverage we chose in chapter 2. This girl is observant.

The twins ask us to formally align with them and support House Fierro’s bid. At this point, that seems like a no brainer, since Hunter has been kind to us and seems like a good man and Cyrus is gross. But I feel like as simple as that seems now, it will be less so later on. However, it’s not really a discussion, we readily agree to the proposal.

Renza informs us that with the support of the MC’s house, they now only need one other house to support them, either Beaumount or Nevrakis. Theodosia has a pretty undeniable crush on Cyrus and I wonder if that will come into play. But Renza has a bit of a curveball for us, our support will come at the price of a marriage arrangement!

Uh, what?

Turns out a betrothal is the best way to secure an alliance and Hunter has to stay single to secure a foreign alliance and Renza is already married (hmmm). So that leaves House Fierro’s new ally to step up and carry the burden.

Thanks.

The MC accepts, saying that we want to fulfill our sister’s dream and then Hunter asks about our dreams. He promises to name us High Chancellor and fulfill any wish within his power. Renza seems a little surprised by his offer, which is interesting.

Viola wants to know the identity of her parents while Livia wants her own lands and estates. Either way Hunter promises to deliver.

The conversation turns back to a potential marriage alliance. Our first target is House Beaumont. If we can win the tile of master of horse, Percival will likely offer us a suitor from his house. Ok, we can do this.

But first, Renza stops us and criticizes our dress. Diamond outfit time. Renza has us try on the outfit in the carriage. The outfit is cute though it doesn’t seem like that much more mobile, but what do I know? The dress is Rosario colours and I think the default dresses will rotate between the three houses. The masquerade dress was Aster colours, this one is Rosario, then next one will be Everhart and so on.

Livia buys it, Viola does not. If you don’t buy the dress, Renza decides that they have enough of a numbers advantage to manage. She also straightens our skirt and promises to find us a spouse. For Livia it is a husband, for Viola a husband or wife (nice touch, PB, acknowledging the player’s choices) and she also assures us that Hunter won’t let us have an unhappy marriage and that the engagement can be ended.

When MC points out that is not fair to the other party who entered the arrangement in good faith, Renza has this gem to say:

If I wasn’t already suspicious of her, alarm bells would be ringing.

Speaking of suspicious, we get to the hunt and greeted by a surly Damon who then stomps away. Hello to you too. Next up is Cyrus, who is condescending and gross at the same time. Unfortunately, he is also our host, which Percival points out when he approaches. If we are wearing the diamond outfit, he also comments on how prepared we look and either way he asks if this is our first hunt and offers us a dagger to protect ourself. First, though, he sharpens the dagger with a magic whetstone, our fourth magic item (useful, but I would still choose the cloth).

Cyrus and Percival leave and Dante brings over four horses, he will be riding with us to protect Hunter since Kendra’s assassins are still out there. Renza may be shady, but she has style. She hates the outdoors and lacks herself wine, cheese and pillows to get through the hunt. I approve (though I actually love riding).

Cyrus reveals this year’s quarry: our house sigil. So a wolf for Viola and a bear for Livia. This is obviously not an accident, which Dante comments on. This was chosen to send us, the newest and most vulnerable house, a message. Message received.

Once the hunt starts, Dante pulls us and comments he is surprised to see us as part of Hunter’s caravan and we tell him that we have agreed to secure the third vote, which he immediately understands means marriage. He wants to say something, which we call him on and he says it is not a place. Viola lets it go but Livia presses and he asks about whether we will be happy and there is a charged moment before Livia tells him that she will be happy to secure her house’s fortune.

The promos promised us a forbidden romance and they are definitely delivering. The longing, the class barriers, the sense of duty holding them back, this romance is going to be tortured and I am here for it.

Back to the group and since the quarry is our animal, the MC is knowledgeable about it and it’s hunting habits. Time to find a wolf or a bear.

First we come across Cyrus and Lord Pompadour and we make noise and throw them off the scent. Next we find Perceval and Theodosia caught in a trap and get them down. Perceval is friendly and appreciative, Theodosia not so much. Hmm.

We find a den and it’s time to look around, it’s dark, so Hunter lends us the last magical item: the glowing sun charm or basically a magical flashlight.

The den is empty and Hunter decides we should split up and look for it. Renza refuses to move but encourages the MC to go, setting up a diamond scene. You can choose to go with either Man or stay back with Renza for free. Livia went with Dante and Viola with Hunter.

We learn that Hunter was Kendra’s High Chancellor and that it is the second most powerful position in the kingdom. This is the position he just promised us, remember, so he obviously trusts us a lot after knowing us two days. We also learn that he didn’t want to take the position because he was too committed to pursuits of pleasure but he also makes it sound like those days are behind him and he is committed to being a good ruler and that could also be a fun dynamic.

The talk turns to the MC and how long we has been away from court and the adjustment we will have to make with Hunter offering advice from a place of experience. We also end up in a garden and have a romantically charged moment before Hunter pulls away.

Meanwhile Livia and Dante discuss their shared circumstances, him rising up the ranks for the guard and her as a scribe.

Dante helps us up a tree and we bask in the beautiful scenery and then the talk turns to the transition the MC has made and then we fall into Dante’s arms and have a romantically charged moment.

I liked both these scenes and how different they were. I like what we learned about Dante and Hunter respectively and the setting up for the respective romantic dynamics. Hunter is committed to putting duty over romance now despite their obvious attraction to us. While Dante is very aware of his position and ours and that will hold him back. There is so much potential for both romances and I love it.

Both diamond scenes end with us catching sight of our quarry and catching up with whichever man we didn’t choose. Working with Hunter and Dante, we capture our prey and we sound the horn, ending the hunt and are declared master of the Hunt.

After that follows an awful scene with Damon, who takes the task of “releasing” the quarry but instead takes the opportunity to warn us away from Hunter and threaten us by killing our house animal.

The one thing I am most looking forward to about the eventual reveal of the MC’s parentage is the look on Damon’s face because I hate him so fucking much.

Damon walks away and Vasco finds us, we tell him what happened just as the bear/fox/wolf’s cub crawls out in search of it’s mama. We then get a chance to adopt the cub ourselves or let Vasco take care of it. Obviously I adopted both pets. I actually switched Viola to Aster just to get a wolf.

The fox is cute but the bear and wolf are such fun callbacks to two of Kenna’s pets and I reused the names I used on TC&TF and called the bear Ursa and the wolf Fenris. After we bond with our pet, we leave him in Vasco’s care and rejoin Hunter and Renza where we tell them what their father did. 

Hunter is stunned and outraged, while Renza merely points out his lack of subtlety. Hunter walks away angry and Renza compliments us on a job well done and then Perceval approaches and offers us a suitor: Emery Beaumont.

For Viola, Emery is a woman and for Livia Emery is a man. There is no choice like with Hunter and Kayden, the game decides for you based on your expressed preferences because of this I don’t think Emery is an LI, but I am glad preference is taken into account.

This chapter was good. It introduced Hunter and Dante a bit more as LI’s and we got to learn more about them and explore the relationship dynamic. Damon was solidified as an antagonist while Renza showed herself to be shady AF and worth keeping an eye on. We are only 3 chapters in but so far, so good. The world building and balancing is well done so far and I actually think only have two gender customizable LIs could work in the book’s favour as it is allowing both LIs to be well developed and important to the plot.

Mun Plays Octopath Traveler

Okay! I finished the game! ... I think.

Okay, I finished Therion’s story. Darius was a very easy battle, thanks to Primrose and Cyrus working together, dishing out insane damage. And I’ll be honest, a part of me pitied Darius as he died, broke, betrayed, and alone. But alas, such was his fate for using people.

After that, H’aanit. Honestly, I was expecting the Redeye to be some kind of actual beast and not a creature of shadows. My mind kinda defaulted to the Redeyes from Star Fox Adventures. And honestly? I didn’t even have to use the Herbs-of-grace, since I defeated it before it could petrify anyone.

After that was Ophilia. As much as I hate to admit it, I actually lost the fight because I wanted to see what dialogue would occur between Ophilia and Mattias (whom I suspected to be evil somewhat early on). When he used Infernal Flame, I couldn’t do anything against him. My best damage dealers were magic-based, and since Ophilia was the healer, I just had to fight a losing battle until I lost.

But for the rematch, I wasted no time. I took some time to prepare, taking the necessary measures, like lowering his magic defense, increasing Cyrus’ elemental attack, and having Primrose who  Alephan's Enlightenment on Cyrus. With a max BP Boosted Glacies Claudere, I brought him down from about 98% health down to 0. All in one fell swoop.

After that, I did a few sidequests to unlock the Ruins of Hornburg. I turned the game off just in front of the Gates of Finis with plans to do it tomorrow.

And I gotta say... I’m actually kinda disappointed so far. It doesn’t feel like the characters are going to this place to stop some great evil, but just some optional stuff. Sure, antagonistis hint at it and many of them refer to some part of the Gate and what they want from it, but they’re so loosely connected, it’s almost nonexistent. And the characters don’t feel like they’re trying to stop the Gate from being opened, despite Cyrus knowing full well about the threat.

Honestly, a cutscene that has the characters talking about it or something would be nice. You know, have them learn about the Gate being in Hornburg, Cyrus telling everyone about what’s beyond the Gate, and everyone decided to go there to stop Galdera from being unsealed. Something like that. I wish it all had more of a connection.

Which brings me to another problem I have, that being I don’t feel like these characters are really good friends. Sure, they’re allies, teammates, and friends, but not lifelong friends with near unbreakable bonds. One of the things I enjoy about RPG games is strangers being united for a common goal, but end up being diehard friends by the end of their adventure and I’m not feeling any of that from these characters.

Give Me An ‘S’! Stars You By no means Knew Had been Cheerleaders

Earlier than she was on Jersey Shore, Snooki was a terrific gymnast. A indisputable fact that many most likely didn’t find out about her however it’s one thing that could be a huge reminiscence for her.

“I used to be actually good at ground and vault and I really made it to states as soon as,” she instructed USA As we speak. “I give up once I was 13 as a result of it was simply an excessive amount of. States was an enormous reminiscence for me. Then I took up cheerleading.”

Sadly, Fox was bullied when she was on the crew at Morningside Academy. Though she’s by no means publicly declared why she was bullied, we will solely assume it will need to have been rooted in jealousy.

This subsequent cheerleader wasn’t bullied but in addition possesses superb appears.

For a number of the different stars on this record, cheer or dance was one thing they used as a pathway to Hollywood. For Eva Longoria, that wasn’t the case. Longoria was born and raised in Texas the place she attended Roy Miller Excessive College and even went on to cheer on the collegiate degree at Texas A&M Kingsville. She earned her diploma in kinesiology whereas in attendance and this was additionally across the time when she gained the Miss Corpus Christi pageant. So the writings on the wall point out that Longoria actually simply was on this for the enjoyable of all of it.

Jennifer Lawrence is the extrovert’s spirit animal. She does what she desires and has enjoyable whereas doing it. Many would like to be buddies with Lawrence due to her outgoing character, which we will solely assume she sported all through her youth too.

Lawrence cheered for Kammerer Center College in Kentucky the place she was so energetic that she earned the nickname “Nitro.” Think about a younger Lawrence doing cartwheels operating across the discipline cheering on her crew. We are able to truthfully think about her doing all that on the age she is now, she is that a lot of a ball.

Now, get able to see which former president was a cheerleader.

George Bush may need been a polarizing president however it’s a must to admit the job ain’t simple. However earlier than he was main the nation, are you able to consider he was main the cheerleading crew at his highschool?

“President George W. Bush was the pinnacle cheerleader at Phillips Academy his senior yr of highschool within the 1960s,” wrote Leanza Pieroni for Flocheer. “After highschool, Bush attended Yale from 1964 to 1968, the place he was additionally a cheerleader!” So plainly he took this fairly critical to do it in faculty as effectively.

Don’t fear, there are extra presidents to come back!

Kylie isn’t the one Jenner to have been a cheerleader. Earlier than she was even in highschool, her huge sis Kendall was waving pom poms. Like her sister, she too attended Sierra Canyon Excessive College. If the 2 have been as well-known as they’re now again once they have been in highschool, we will solely think about how many individuals who’ve proven as much as the soccer video games! Apparently, Kendall was a pleasure to have round. Her former coach, David Kirschner spoke very extremely of her when he mentioned: She’s a really outgoing cheerleader, at all times developing with new concepts to assist our athletic groups and has the power to make everybody round her smile and snicker.”

We all know Halle Berry from her many alternative roles all through the years. A Bond lady, Catwoman and in addition Storm from X-Males, it appears there is no such thing as a position she will be able to’t play. However one factor we didn’t know is that she used to do stunts at Bedford Excessive College in Cleveland. Not solely was she a cheerleader however she was additionally an honor scholar, editor of the college newspaper and what else however promenade queen. She additionally participated in a couple of magnificence pageants as effectively. Berry gained Miss Teen All American in 1985 and in addition gained Miss Ohio the subsequent yr and positioned second in Miss USA.

Up subsequent we’ve one other politician.

Dwight D. Eisenhower is the second politician to make this star-studded record. Would you may have guessed that he was a cheerleader? Nicely, he wasn’t at all times a cheerleader. It wasn’t till he sustained an damage in one other sport that he went to the opposite facet of the sphere.

“President Eisenhower was a cheerleader for West Level Academy, Pieroni reported. “Earlier than being elected, he was a five-star basic in america Military and served throughout each World Struggle I and II. President Eisenhower was additionally an enormous sports activities fanatic whereas in class and took part in lots of sports activities. After affected by a knee damage in soccer, President Eisenhower determined to be a cheerleader for the crew. What a terrific crew supporter!”

Who doesn’t love Meryl Streep? Anybody who’s anybody can respect her appearing abilities and longstanding profession. She at all times places on spectacular performances and we’d think about she took that very same strategy when it got here to cheering. Streep attended Bernards Excessive College in New Jersey again within the ’60s. Though she was described to be a “gawky child with glasses and frizzy hair,” she nonetheless made the cheer crew. Whereas cheering, she took half in drama on the college and gained reputation together with her nice performances on the college performs. So it solely is sensible that she would pursue appearing over dancing. Nobody desires to be a gawky child without end.

For Jessica Simpson, cheering at Richardson North Junior Excessive College was the beginning of her appearing profession. Nonetheless, she didn’t succeed immediately. She began cheering as an eighth grader the place most usually start as soon as they get to highschool, not earlier than. “It’s round this time that she unsuccessfully auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Membership, freezing up throughout the tryouts,” Joe Battaglia wrote for Flocheer. Fortunately, she would proceed to audition earlier than catching the eye of necessary individuals.

Later, she attended Glen A. Wilson Excessive College the place she was a cheerleader and a straight-A scholar. After highschool, Fergie studied dance and commenced doing voiceover work as Sally in Peanuts cartoons and exhibits.”

Let’s take a look at one other president, we could?

Ronald Reagan is our third featured president on this record. Reagan has taken a lot flak from the general public on what he did and didn’t do as a president however that doesn’t eradicate the truth that he led our nation. However earlier than he led the nation he was screaming and shouting on sidelines!

“President Reagan was a cheerleader at Eureka School the place he studied sociology and economics,” wrote Pieroni. “He was the 40th president of america and served in workplace from 1981-89. President Reagan served within the U.S. Military Air Forces from 1937 to 1945.”

Lindsay Lohan has seemingly been within the highlight her entire life. Early on it was for optimistic causes like starring in family-favorite movies and showing in exhibits. As she obtained older, she began making headlines for all of the incorrect causes. She grew up on Lengthy Island, New York and began modeling at three. She starred in The Dad or mum Lure in 1998 after which Freaky Friday in 2003. It was round then she picked up cheering at Chilly Spring Harbor Excessive College. Then she attended Sanford H.

In only one years time, she grew to become the pinnacle choreographer and was found by The Jacksons. She would go on to choreograph for Janet Jackson and The Jacksons and finally saved up sufficient cash to make her singing demo. You understand what occurred subsequent.

From one star to the subsequent, see who is available in cartwheeling subsequent.

Madonna had an attention-grabbing upbringing. She grew up in a blue-collar household that was depending on the auto business in Detroit. Her mom died of breast most cancers and her father remarried however as soon as that occurred, she started to resent her dad and would act out.

“Whereas attending center college she grew to become as recognized for her excessive grades as for her unpredictable habits, which included performing cartwheels and handstands within the hallways between lessons and dangling off the monkey bars by her knees throughout recess,” Battaglia wrote for Flocheer. “At Rochester Adams Excessive College, she was a straight-A scholar and member of the cheerleading squad.”

The actress that placed on a tremendous efficiency within the film The Blindside, Sandra Bullock wasn’t at all times a mega-actress. She began off like a couple of others on this record simply cheering and collaborating in drama at her college. That early follow most likely meant so much for her general growth in appearing and performing usually.

“Earlier than she was Miss Congeniality, Sandra Bullock starred as a cheerleader and in theater productions at Washington-Lee Excessive College in Virginia after spending the primary 12 years of her life rising up in Nuremberg, Germany,” Battaglia of the cheerleading web site Flocheer wrote.
