Honestly my favorite part of fall is when the trees leaves turn different shades of orange, reds and browns & you absolutely did a wonderful job describing the changes in the start of the chapter💗

Staaahp the walking us to our apartment door , giving us his jacket?!🥹

My heart is going to burst! He made the move first! he initiated a hug, he is letting himself go a little and it makes me so happy that he is choosing to let us in more and more as time goes by💗

“The way he cradled the back of your head and kept you close, pushed himself tight against you so you could feel his harder edges against your softer ones”

Y’all the way this was so beautifully worded! I am literally being transported to this moment🥰

Lol not the kids making fun of our ghost / pumpkin foam art yall we are trying okay, & Eddie you know this is going to be your new favorite drink soooo drink it all up you know you want too���

“You might even get sick of me, that’s how much I’ll be talking.”

Soo sweet of him to offer to come with us while we get our first tattoo, & Eddie Munson talking our ear off? That is something i thought id never here because boy was he as quiet as a mouse when we first met him🙃

That part with us at our grandfathers grave had me in tears, i am glad that we are wanting to stay to plant ourselves and grow in one place, we really do have amazing people around us💗

Wayne continues to prove himself to be a saint! ISTG he has been soo good to Eddie & now Max? 🤍

“I wouldn’t take you just anywhere. I actually care about you, in case you forgot.”

Edward Munson you have had a complete 360 who would have known that you would eventually get this close to us let alone care about us like what?!🥹💗

“It just gave me a chance to hold your hand again.”

The way Eddie has me blushing & twirling my hair should be a crime 🤍✨

My heart is about to fall out of my ass , we are really about to tell Eddie how we feel, i can feel my heart up to my throat right now

“Fun fact of the day: Eddie Munson kind of sort of has feelings for you, too.”

I have passed out (inside) trying to play it cool but i wanna scream! He freaking likes us too ahhhh🙈

As if my heart couldnt be more content than it already is this man took it upon himself to come take care of us while we are sick?!😭💗

“In the patch it’s, “If you were a pumpkin, I’d pick you.”

Lol we love your cheesy pick up lines Eddie keep them coming, we actually might stand a chance at winning if Dustin is the judge😅

“I don’t care what they say, you shouldn’t have been allowed back.”

Biiiitch if you dont fucking stay away from Eddie & shut your mouth i am going to drag you all over this supermarket now kindly fuck off!

Our first Hawkins Thanksgiving was perfect because we got to spend it with the most amazing people & the best BF ever Eddie💗

That moment with Wayne? I cant handle this OMG it was so sweet & genuine, of course we will take care of Eddie 😭💗

“Because Eddie Munson’s never been in love, but he thinks that’s what he’s starting to feel for you. “

Yall the way i am head over heels right now my heart feels like its going to burst i have never read something that has made me feel this way😭💗

“Pretty girl, you’re telling me you haven’t looked into it at all?” Chance asks”

First of all dude stop being a creep & to dont be a cunt, this asshole is going to run his mouth i already know it

*dusts off the blog* hi, hello. it's me, your favorite planet or disney dog or whatever you want me to be. i FINALLY managed to beat the goddamn ice titan (suck it ya goddamn bitch) AND beat through idia's OB boss battle. i'm now finished with book 6, so i figured i should lay down cora's whereabouts and involvement before it gets lost into the void. not that i want to make some MAJOR changes in the story or whatever, but if anything, it makes things more intense... least in my opinion. if you wanna read it - or don't because heavy spoilers to book 6 - it's under read more! *cracks knuckles* alright, let's go.

to begin with, a quick tl;dr on cora's situation - her family, the ouranias, serve as the second hand to shrouds. it's a chained dynamic which lasted for generations, when the first ourania pledged absolute loyalty to the first shroud after failing to fulfill their part of the deal. they're kind of the underdogs of STYX whose only purpose is to do what their designated owner, a shroud, says. this family has the "strength and preservation over anything" mindset, so they've conditioned themselves to be as robotic and emotionless as possible, even in dangerous situations, meaning cutting off your emotions wholly because that means weakness and unworthiness. this is to ensure a shroud's wellbeing and their continued work for STYX, but most importantly, to reduce any chance of overblotting. if there is no negative emotion to begin with, you're less likely to bring harm onto your owner...such is the mentality the ouranias have maintained for centuries, and such methods of preparing the new generations of underdogs has partaken for this long now.

to add on, an ourania is also conditioned to look after the charons and even the chariots. basically, your life is bound to a shroud's from the moment you're born into an ourania family. it's a little different from jamil's family, who offered themselves to serve kalim's family as they are longtime friends. no, in this case, this is a FULL ownership of another person. no right to live, laugh, love, anything - ourania is shroud's shadow. see how twisted this power dynamic is, because i sure do.

alright, now onto present times: after the events in book 5 and shortly before book 6 events begun, cora (who, unbeknownst to everyone besides idia and ortho, was to inherit the position of second hand from her father before an eventual resignation for disrupting the dynamic by attempting to "befriend" her designated owner in much younger years) actually received a call from styx to inform her of charons' eventual arrival and to immediately let idia know. of course, now that she's trying to leave that part behind her in any means necessary - as well as becoming very bitter and jaded in general - didn't even bother to say anything, assuming he'd be informed...which he wasn't. you can probably imagine how pissed off he was when the charons did arrive. 🙃

---

following this, idia orders cora to look after ignihyde and keep everyone from leaving night raven college. once again throwing all his responsibilities on her but whatever, she doesn't have the care to argue back. she's the one to explain everything to the panicking students and warn them not to go after the subjects and that they'd be back soon.

---

does rook listen? absolutely not. if anything, he goes straight to her and relentlessly keeps asking her to come along and help him get to island of woe, her homeland. initially, she refused and kept trying to shoo him off, knowing her arrival would cause and uproar amongst the ouranias, but ofc, rook being rook, he is able to see right through her and hit where it hurts, the most - she wants to put an end to this vicious punishment. she wants to tell idia off and finally be rid of these shackles, to have her own identity...to start over, completely. wouldn't you know, it hits cora (mostly bc he wouldn't leave her the fuck alone) and she agrees...but not to help him, no, she couldn't care less why's rook so insistent to go - but to tell idia off and finally cut ties, like she always wanted.

---

cora is part of the "rescue" team! very reluctant member, but still a part! hooray! she guides them to island of woe, knowing this is the biggest disobedience she caused and would have very, very big consequences. still, she can't say it's the first time she disobeyed idia, so she tucks that problem aside...at least this would lead her to eventual banishment, which is what she truly wants.

---

when they arrive, much to cora's expectations, she was NOT welcome - hell, members of styx instantly recognized her and were outraged...not that she paid them any mind, since she was focusing only on idia, with his boss mode on...who was CLEARLY furious. sure, she expected to get him yapping on and on as usual, but this was different...this was GENUINE anger. the subjects must've tired the hell outta him, but still, cora didn't expect to be yanked off the group while ortho stayed behind with the rest.

---

following the departure from the group comes what is probably their worst argument to date - it begins with usual bickering but is quickly escalated towards jabs at each other's lives, their failures and even what has other done to another - accusations and screams flew, much of which cora never expected. sure, she saw idia peeved off from her actions back at school, their disdain was very clear among other students, but she never saw him fueled with rage to the point his hair turns full blown orange. he says it's her fault for everything, she says it's the other way around...until the argument stops with ortho's intervention. cora is quickly escorted out of the room by charons, but not before uttering to idia: "you're fucking dead to me...erase my memories after this, i don't care, but you better remember this until the day you finally die." with those words echoing the now desolate room, she leaves...feeling much emptier than before.

---

she finally did it , right? she told idia off, just like she wanted, and fully cut ties...just like she wanted...right? if that's the case...why is she second guessing herself? this never happened before...it's odd, but she tries not to think too much of it, not when her father will definitely be coming in to handle the matter at hand - which likely means she'll be banished. well...that was the case until the entire system went into shutdown and freed her from her room.
