"Fuck you, fuck me, and fuck all of them." - Nathaniel leaving before Lia has the chance to tell him the ✨news ✨

Bloodshot, jade green eyes. Mascara-stained cheeks. Throat raw from desperate pleas turned screaming match when they fell upon deaf ears. She never shouts. Never yells. It's rare enough to ever see her so exasperated, but he pulls it out of her. Forces it out of her. Makes her out to be the monster she fears that she is. She catches a glimpse of herself in the hallway mirror—a trembling, delicate hand presses against her stomach.

It's a misunderstanding that chases him out of the door & into the frigid night air, but the damage his words had wrought is done.

'Fuck you.' A dark, misty evening. Fog rolling in amongst a field of bright, white roses. Drawing closer to decrepit stone walls, a lane of flowers lay trampled, ripped violently from their roots & splattered in deep crimson. In the clearing, a crumpled, fur-laden body, broken & battered. Their first meeting. She didn't know what more than visions of near death & unrest brought her to him; what fate beheld her as she dragged his massive canine form away to safety. Even when he roared awake, the clawed hands of a beautiful man violently slamming her into a wall, eyes wild with confusion, fangs bared & dripping with venom, she remained. Comforting hands faintly cradle his face. 'It's okay. You're safe. I've got you now.'

'I've got you.'

'Fuck me.' Tinkling laughter filled the bedroom as bare limbs wrestled beneath soft, billowing sheets. His hands, deadly as they were, sought to tickle & caress her smooth, angelic skin. To offer her the softness she afforded him in kind time & time again. Even so, he was still a dangerous being. It took him no time to catch her—as if he even had to try. He held her impossibly close, then, her back against his chest, one arm wrapped around her waist, his other hand at her throat. Her hand snaked up his wrist to quietly guide his knuckles to her lips. She could feel him tremble slightly through her kiss. 'Fanny-?'

'Never leave me, Ophelia.' Their first confession.

'...I love you, too.'

'And fuck all of them.' This isn't their first fight. She's lost count of how many times his harsh, cutting words left her heart bleeding in her hands, wounded & scarred. Couldn't fathom the hours she'd spent waiting wide-eyed & afraid in the night for him to return after storming out of the door. The wasted tears, the unearned apologies, excusing his anger, his rage, his obsession for vengeance against an immortal force that tore apart his family only for him to turn around & do the same thing to her. To them. To their unborn baby.

'Nathaniel, I know you want to make him pay for what he's done, for what he's stolen from you. I understand-'

'NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!' His fist slammed into the wall. 'I have been hunting down this- this foul, loathsome, vile cocksucker for centuries to avenge my mother and father, and I will not throw away my closest lead at your mere, quivering insistence!'

'I don't want to lose you! Please, just listen-'

'I am more than willing to die. I have sacrificed everything!'

'AND WHAT ABOUT MY SACRIFICE?! WHAT ABOUT ALL OF THE TIMES I'VE ALMOST DIED BY YOUR SIDE?!' Her nostrils flared, flaming hue adorning her face & neck. 'You would have never gotten as far as you did without my help. You'd still be broken in that field, licking the salt from your wounds if I hadn't found you! If I had abandoned you! If I never loved-'

She drew a sharp, stinging breath in, lungs aching & heavy. Apprehensive digits reach out to take his stern face in hand, urging him desperately into her waiting embrace. 'Stay with me.' Leaning up on her toes, she pressed her forehead against his, eyelashes fluttering closed as her chest heaved. 'There will be another chance to find Felderod. We'll do it together, just as we have been. I won't leave you. So, please. Please, just... don't go.' She reached for his hands to press them against her abdomen. 'Nathaniel, I-'

'If you won't help me, then you're just in my way.'

Her eyes shot open to gaze into his hardened, sinister stare. In one quick movement, he yanked her hands from his face, grabbed his keys & turned for the door. He stopped, his hand tightening around the doorknob.

'If you won't help me... then you're useless.'

It had been hours since he left, his words ringing in her ears as she lay slumped against the front door. She didn't know when she fell to the floor, nor when the painful, violent sobbing had ceased to rock her frame. Her hand never left her stomach, as if she could have shielded the unborn life growing inside her from the agony they faced together. Protected it from the new reality she was forced to endure.

This isn't their first fight. It was their last.

the demigod crouched down and inclined her head. evergreen eyes stared at the small creature with curiosity and incredulity. slowly, she reached out, offering a finger to the viscous being. "you are a beguiling thing, aren't you, little one?"

NEW THINGS WERE PLENTIFUL, NEW STRETCHED BEFORE THE FRESH CRAFT NEAR ENDLESSLY. Fear and caution did not make home within the NEW-- - such senses would only restrain it from ENJOYING ALL THAT THERE WAS. Such as this stranger-- - another new, another not seen // NOT RECORDED IN MIND. Wasn't, at least, for as soon as seen the information was stored within as any other that it was constantly gaining. Both tentacle and premature claw lifted, brushing slimy flesh and soft carapace around the finger. “&– - Who are you?” Words spoken were known by it, BUT IT DIDN'T CARE ABOUT FACTS OF SELF // THERE WAS OTHER TO GAIN.

flimsy conviction your confidence in yourself seems fairly weak. it's easy enough for your friends and peers to ask if you're okay, but what's the point? you're just going to say you're doing fine, you're doing alright, you don't need anything at all. your selfless pursuit of what's important to you has stripped you dry, rinsed you clean like pork bones for soup. there's only so much to keep running from and only so much to hold back until you explode. it's okay to not be okay!

i watched a large ant and a small ant fight over a piece of poison bait today. truly no winners there. - soraya to sade.

She's staring down her best friend while chewing on a turkey sandwich, wondering just what went through that beautiful head of hers. "One of them did win, though. In the most general sense of the word." Sade offered a bag of chips forward with her other hand. "Which one was it?"

[regnismemorias]

does your muse have a birthmark? if so, where, and what does it look like? - all of your muses.

[ IN-DEPTH HEADCANONS ]

GLITCH has two beauty marks; one by the left side corner of her lip, and another diagonally from it on her chin.

OPHELIA'S birthmark is a faded, star-like shape on her right hip; all of the banshee-possessed women in her family have it as far as she knows. She also has light freckles across her nose & shoulder blades.

SADE has a birthmark on her upper left shoulder, three moons that form the triple goddess symbol; all children of Hecate bear the mark.

ANGEL has a beauty mark on her right eyelid & another on her inner left wrist.

BABYLON has no birthmarks; it's part of the reason Felderod chose her to turn - he often remarks on her 'unmarred' skin despite her illness.

[ BONUS ]

TAVION has a mark on the left side of his neck that extends down & back, ending at his left hip; it's a faded white color.

Ripped-out confessions, warm velvety whispers, and a heart like an open wound.

Your love flows out like dripping blood, beautiful, flawed, and twisted. It's gut-wrenching, the painfully dramatic feeling that makes you clutch your chest, picturing dramatic monologues about love and loving and big screen over-the-top scenes of sobbing into your pillow until you fall asleep. It rips out of you, clawing its way up your throat more so than tumbling out. Sticky words that just need to be let out, feelings so big they don't fit inside you. Your love isn't easy, it's a true bloody mess, dripping and staining everything it touches in a desperate attempt to be seen, to be felt, to be loved back.

And you, you love so hard, so deeply, so much for someone who carries all that pain. Atlas holding up the world, how are you? Is your love still flowing? Is your heart still open? Still pumping and bleeding and dripping with blood and tears? Still painting your beautiful pictures and writing your love letters in deeply personal red ink Because I see them, I read them, I love them and you, you, you, you.

Clench your chest, scream your love, cry it out. Spill your words of love, keep your heart beating, keep your love coming, and paint the entire world red with it. Make it in your image, and keep going, it's okay. Maybe one day the whole world can be red and loved and beautiful just like you.

You're the kind of person who's hopelessly in love with love itself. You want to live your life chasing after beauty, seeking out the silver linings in even the darkest of places, crying tears of adoration because some things are just too splendid and profound to behold without overflowing. Perhaps others call you naive, deride you as a hopeless idealist for wanting to believe that this universe could be a place worth loving. But you are not ignorant to matters of unsightliness—you have simply decided that they cannot degrade the value of what is truly precious. For you, love is essential.

You probably believe that the root of suffering is the disconnect between reality and the heart's cherished ideals. There's something very special about people like you, who stubbornly, tenaciously sing of love in a world so many others find countless reasons to resent. The beauty of your existence is that it requires no grandiose feats, no lofty legacy that outlives it to have a purpose. It is enough to be here and let your love grant this universe meaning. Without people like you to appreciate it, there would be no value to the grandiose or the minuscule.

You are the universe fleetingly comprehending itself and falling in love with what you see. You probably collect photographs or mementos of your favorite memories and believe full-heartedly that to love and lose is better than to have never loved at all. Even so, it's likely you avoid things that remind you of painful experiences because you want to dedicate this existence to loving as much as you possibly can, and wallowing in regrets too long will make your heart grow bitter. You've lived and lived on out of love, so you don't want to waste time lingering in loveless places. You probably treasure your loved ones deeply, perhaps even reverently.

It's a splendid thing to be able to see the best in people, but you must be careful not to put them on a pedestal. Make sure that you are in love with the reality of a person and not who you believe they have the potential to be. Likewise, do not overlook condemning faults in your desire to see everything as worthy of salvation, or you run the risk of adopting dangerous ideals. However, even you have moments in which it is difficult to find things worth loving. Do not let these troubling times disillusion you—you're here because you believe love is worth living for.

And it is, so do not be afraid when your journey leads you to pass through loveless places. There is always beauty to be found somewhere, and as long as you put faith in the knowledge that you will find it again, you will be able to bear anything.

Sade's magical inclination comes from both sides of her family: from her father, Titus, whose maternal lineage is a powerful line of witches & from her mother, Hecate, who is unknown to her. Hecate, and the rest of the Olympian deities, in our (@dominanostra) lore, are Eldritch terrors with an ancient cosmic twist on the powers & domains that they're known for. She can harness this power of hers, but in her main & pre-war verse, Sade doesn't know this yet.
