#fabian sobers

[batsnipp]

oh my god so many thoughts about the new episode

The contrast between Fabian and Riz really fucking kills me. Like Riz's mom is working herself to the bone trying to find a way to help him pay for college and has to have this hard conversation with Riz before school starts because it's just that important that he starts thinking about scholarships and jobs and stuff. In stark contrast with Fabian's mom who not only got married while he was away (presumably without telling him), but also left immediately all whilst giving him exponentially more things to deal with in her absence. Like I know it's funny that Fabian apparently doesn't even know where glasses are in his own home but it's kind of really sad to me. This guy is eighteen years old and doesn't know how to do anything for himself. He has to start applying for colleges soon and has to learn how to feed himself and be a person and all these basic things all at the same time. The whole theme of the season seems to be just exhaustion so far but Fabian's whole family life just makes me really tired for him.

[whirlwindsworld]

I just keep seeing this image of Fabian in my head. This young man who so desperately seek affection and happily soaks up praise–

Standing in a massive empty house. Wandering from room to room. There’s so many rooms. Quietly drinking his milk from a glass he hunted down. He puts himself to bed. This will be the next year of his life.

He’s 18 and he just saved the world. He’s 18 and he killed his father. He’s 18 and he’s so tired. He’s 18 and maybe he deserves a long proper hug from his mom. He’s 18 and he needs to keep smiling as she leaves. (It barely feels like she was here.) He’s 18 and he’s writing his name on the face of the world. He’s 18 and his father would be proud of everything he had done in lieu of his summer vacation. (It’s not what he was worried about.) He’s 18 and he’s his father’s son. He’s 18 and he is his own man. (He was meant to be his mother’s son too.)

He’s 18 and of course none of it hurt. (She said she would start doing better.)

billariel baby #2 losing this poll is a devastating reminder that most people think the seacasters are actually okay parents and people. like yeah immortal gillariel baby is pretty humiliating on the gilear front and pretty upsetting on the immortality front but bill seacaster getting a round two at legacying would give fabian levels of psychological damage previously unknown to mankind

Pumpkin patch date (25-what’s a kiss between two friends?) with sirius please💗

thanks for requesting!!! ♡︎

1.2k | cw: first kiss, mentions of alcohol and smoking

"There you are." You say as you throw yourself down on James' cushy couch with a huff.

Sirius has been wandering all night. Which is fine, except you don't know any of his old school friends (except James and Remus). It's an odd feeling, you've decided, to be as grown as you are and still equally embarrassed to be seen alone in front of a group of people. The final straw was running into Sirius' seriously pretty high school girl friend Mary (and her extremely pretty current girlfriend, Marlene) and fumbling over your words so bad that they offered you a glass of water to sober up. You haven't touched a drink all night.

Your best friend looks up, dimples popping under the weight of his grin. "Oh, hello, gorgeous." He throws an arm around the back of the sofa, folds his leg under him as he turns to give you his full attention.

The response your body and brain give makes you feel like a teenager. You feel lucky to have Sirius' attention in a room full of people like this - even if you had to go out of your way to get it. It's silly, to be so enthralled in Sirius. But he has that effect on people all the time. Baristas, bus drivers, cashiers at the shops. Anyone who's ever been on the receiving end of one of Sirius' signature grins has felt like the luckiest person alive, at some point.

"And where have you been?" He asks, fingers reaching forwards to play with yours.

You scoff, fighting a smile and turning to better face him. "Me? Where have I been, you ask?"

Sirius nods, all too pleased with himself. "Off with a bloke I had imagined. Gideon Prewett's had his eyes on you all night. Or, actually, that might be Fabian. Ask Jamie, I still can't tell them apart." He shrugs.

There's tiny bits of black glitter around Sirius' eyes; smudged, from his eyeliner, you assume. It draws out the pale grey of his eyes. He looks really pretty. Like someone that would have their painting hung in some grandiose museum. For, like, being historically beautiful.

With a snort, you roll your eyes. "Fat chance of that."

Sirius isn't stupid. He knows you've never had a boyfriend. He's never brought it up, never teased you about it. He just glosses over it like he does most things. For that, you're grateful.

But he frowns at your words, regardless, as he says, "Why?"

You're a little shell shocked as you stare back at him blankly. There's not really any reason for you not to talk to Gideon. Or Fabian, which ever one of them it is. But you don't have Sirius' confidence or sheer lack of care. So, you don't. You stay firmly rooted in your seat, unsure of how to tell your perfectly capable best friend that you're severely under-experienced for a party hook-up with one of his former classmates.

Sirius sighs when you don't answer.

"There has to be a first at some point."

You can't help but bristle at his words, even if they're meant to be encouraging. "I know."

Sirius' fingers poke at the side of your face where his hand is slung over the back of the couch. "Hey," He whispers, head dipped to meet your eyes, "Sorry."

You smile, lean towards his fingers as they turn less teasing and start a gentle path along your cheekbones. "I just want it to be with someone I know. Someone I trust. At least the first time, you know?" You hate the way it sounds. Like a damsel holding on to her last shred of innocence.

But Sirius nods, eyes genuine and understanding. Soft, lovely. Like he always is with you. It's like his chaos gets dialled down when he's with you. Like he can breathe, take a minute to just... exist.

"You trust me?" He asks, swallowing after.

You're not an idiot. You know he's about to offer himself as your first kiss and you hate that it makes flowers bloom between the cracks in your ribs. Your palms grow sweaty and your tongue darts out to lick your lips as if on instinct. "I trust you. But you can't kiss me."

Sirius' brows furrow. "Why not?"

You laugh, albeit a little awkwardly. "Because we're friends, Sirius."

And because you're scared you won't want to kiss anyone else ever again.

Sirius smirks. It's full of mischief and knowing he's likely to get his own way. "What's a little kiss between two friends, gorgeous?"

His fingers tuck a piece of hair behind your ear and you melt into him. So close that you can smell the beer he's been drinking, a little hint of cigarette smoke clinging to his hair. You want this. But maybe a little too much. Sirius is still grinning, very much able to read you like a book. But he waits for you to nod, to give him permission before he scooches closer to you.

"Okay." You whisper, suddenly shy.

If someone had told you as a teenager that you'd be at a party with what is possibly the world's most heartbreakingly beautiful man you've ever met, kissing him in front of a room full of people, you'd have cringed. It'd have been too much to handle. Too much want, too much fear.

But as much as everyone else often describes Sirius Black as Too Much, he's never been that way to you. Not even as his hand shifts to cup your jaw, pulling you so close that his breath fans over your face, warms the skin there. He's so gentle, respectful. It makes you want to sob. Because this is a kiss between two friends.

First, Sirius presses a kiss to the left of your mouth. His lips are gentle, soft. Your eyes flutter closed of their own accord and that's when he swoops. It feels odd, at first. You feel frozen, until Sirius runs his thumb against the underside of your jaw, adds a little pressure under your chin. He tilts your head back and all you can do is respond greedily. You need more of him, more of that pressure against your neck. More of his lips moving against yours with the perfect amount of force.

You sigh into it, one hand on his bicep and the other on his knee. Sirius smiles a little, leaning into you until you're pressed back into the arm of James' couch. It swallows you whole, the kiss. It's raw, beautiful, a little dirty, just like Sirius.

When he deems you've had enough (though, you'd disagree), he pulls away, pressing a doting kiss to your forehead before he retreats. His eyes scan your flushed face.

"See, not so bad." He shrugs as he pulls you into his side.

You rub your lips together, still tingling, and nod. "Yeah, not bad at all."

"Should we find James and ask which one of the Prewett twins has been eyeing you all night?" Sirius asks, though his voice doesn't sound as enthusiastic as it had, earlier.

"Sure. In a minute." You murmur.

Kissing Gideon or Fabian is the last thing you want to do, now. So you sit with Sirius, curled into his side, and watch his old classmates get progressively more drunk as the night goes on. Neither of you make a move to find James, and when he does appear, stumbling from side to side, murmuring something about fulfilling an old unrequited crush, you, nor Sirius, mention either of the Prewett twins.

Yo not to be a depressing angst loving bitch but someone should make an edit of Fabian to Elenor’s speech about her mom in the good place

Cause god his mom was drunk for the first fucking 16 years of his life, leaning so heavily on his dad for parental attachment and love (and that’s a thing in itself I don’t have time to get into) only for bill to die and the moment THE FUCKING MOMENT she actually gets sober and he starts to get to bond with her and explore this elven side of himself. He is forced to go on mission after mission exhausting himself only to return home probably excited to finally spend sometime with him mom that he’s only know getting to know but oh wait fuck she leaving with her new fiancée leaving him absolutely alone in a huge home, and let’s not forget she wasn’t even calling him in the fucking MONTHS she’s been gone, and now after all that ALL OF IT he has to contend with the fact that she’s probably pregnant with a child and fully elven child who will have legitimately forever to spend with their mother HIS MOTHER but one who finally is stable enough to be a real mom to them but not him.

Ankarna really said: “what injustices have you faced bc you had no power to make change? what injustices did you cause that you would like to make right? What kind of restorative justice would make you feel better about the situation?” and most of the PCs were just like “idk. it’s in the nothing I can do about it now” instead of. you know. taking the opportunity to finish their season arcs.

Fig should’ve brought justice to her mom by summoning her and telling her that she knows about Bobby Dawns abuse and grooming, and then reassure her mom that that was not her fault and a deep injustice in her life. Maybe then they would ask Ankarna to kill Bobby Dawn (bc also he was aware of and on board with the Porter/Jace scheme?? did we all just forget that??) or give Sandra Lynn the chance to move on.

Kristen said the stuff about her parents was in the past, but for her brothers it’s still incredibly current and real. She talks about wanting a sister but she has 3 brothers she abandoned when she escaped her parents. She could have addressed that injustice by summoning her brothers or altering a memory with them where she told them about how she felt trapped with her parents and how oppressive Helio could be and how she found something so much more freeing, tell her brothers to come with her or give them a chance to spend more time with her. (or could have talked about being failed by Bobby Dawn for no reason!)

Fabians scene with his dad was fine but it was a plot point that’s kind of already been resolved a long time ago. He feels like his father put pressure on him to follow in his footsteps, we spent 2 seasons on that already. Why didn’t he call for his mom, express anger abt the injustice of her emotionally neglecting him for his entire childhood through her addiction and then getting sober and immediately physically neglecting and then effectively replacing him with another child?

Adaine could have talked to Aguefort or the Wizard teacher about the classist injustice of making the wizard students pay so much money for materials, something she resolved for herself but is still going to be a problem for students in the future.

Riz had the right idea of talking to his friends but I wish it had been more the injustice of him having to support them all the time while also being a full time student and in all the extra curriculars because he couldn’t afford college otherwise. Yes he pushed his friends but also like. when you have ADHD (like Kristen and Fig and I do) that kind of push can make all the difference. (he also could have talked about the injustice of college costing so much and having to get perfect grades and do all the extracurriculars.)

IMO Gorgug was the only one who really understood the assignment. It wasn’t about smiting whoever hurt you it’s about recognizing that change can’t be made without having the passion and drive to make it happen. Ankarna is the manifestation of righteous anger and new beginnings, the embodiment of “if not now then when? If not me then who?” But with the exception of Gorgug none of the Bad Kids really dealt with this theme. There’s a very real middle ground between egotism or anger for the sake of anger, and forgive and forget/complete complacency with the way things are.

I just feel like there was a perfect opportunity to tie up loose ends, finish character arcs, and summarize the seasons theme through these scenes that didn’t happen.

[dullgecko]

Fabian has a pretty strict rule about no fighting at his parties while drunk (he’s learned extensively from his dads crew that fighting while drunk can lead to a lot of people not involved getting hurt, especially when it involves weapons, which a lot of the people at his parties have)

He has broken that rule before exactly once, when some dude had been hitting on Riz (who was very used to this at Fabian’s parties, for reasons Riz could not wrap his head around people seemed to find him very attractive) and was not taking no for an answer, long story short the dude had grabbed at Riz’s neck, Riz scratched him and ran away to hide in Fabian’s room, texted the group chat what had happened, and approximately five seconds Fabian was beating the shit out of the dude after he refused to apologize

Fig shut down the party immediately after so they could take care of Riz, who was having a full blown panic attack (it was bad enough when his friends used do it while he was sober, having some rando drunk dude do it while he was also not fully sober set him off), and it took like an hour of watching a bad spy movie in what could only be described as a nest for him to calm down

Riz was very alarmed by Fabian’s face (the guy had managed to get a few good punches in, Fabian was very drunk) when he finally calmed down, Fabian had been cuddling with Riz so intently that Kristen couldn’t get him to put him down so she could heal him

(Needless to say the guy ended up at Mumple two days later)

Look, Riz would be the first one to admit that he might have been a bit rude to the guy when he didn't take the hint he wasn't interested the first two times. The rogue was trying to de-stress for once so he was a little drunk, and as a direct consequence his brain-to-mouth filter that usually stopped him from being quite so much of an asshole to people that were annoying him had shut down about half an hour ago.

He wasn't completely oblivious to people trying to flirt with him, he just usually pretended he was because it was offputting and would usually weird them out and make them stop after a while. This guy was persistant though and kept handing him more and more alchohol as the night went on, all of which got tossed into a nearby potted plant with just a little bit of sleight of hand because Riz could tell he was trying to get him hammered.

Riz had tried to disengage himself from the conversation about a dozen times by this point, not trying to be rude in case he did something to fuck up Kristens campaign, but the guy had followed him to another room and had crouched to box the goblin into a corner and continue chatting with him. It was getting weird, the guy clearly had a bit a goblin fetish, and when Riz decided to be less polite in his efforts to turn him down again the guy had snapped. Darting their hand out to grab the rogue and pin him against a wall because they were just chatting and he should give him a chance.

If they'd grabbed him by the shoulder rather than the neck it would have been fine, sure he would have been pissed and scratched him anyway but he might not have been quite so vicious about it. Fabian had been on the receiving end of one of Riz's ptsd flashbacks the first time it happened and the goblin had nearly blinded him and he liked the half elf. This guy though? The rogue was not pulling his punches the instant his hand touched his throat and went straight for the jugular with his claws.

The noise Riz made when he struck him was downright furious, an animalistic snarl in the back of his throat in comparison to the wet gasping noises currently being made by the orc teenager now crumpled on the floor. The rogue taking the oportunity to misty-step part-way out of the room before dashing to find a place to hide.

There had been enough clerics in the room that the guy had been healed before Riz even made it out the door, something that he only half noted in his flight because the idiot was able to breath well enough to call him some rather choice slurs before he was out of earshot. Riz accidentally left more than one bloody hand print on the handrail of the stairs as he made a beeline for the one place none of the party go-ers would be able to get to him. The rogue trying very hard not to hyperventilate as he slammed the door to Fabians room behind him and locked it from the inside.

He really didn't do well with people grabbing him by the neck, not after Killian killed him that way, and the smell of the blood on his shirt and hand was just making the panic even worse. But he still managed to dig his crystal out of his pocket when it started buzzing frantically.

There must have been plenty of witnesses to his freakout because it didn't take long for his crystal to start blowing up with texts. Starting with his friends asking if he'd attacked someone, then why, then apparently incredibly worried about him when they noticed bloody goblin handprints left behind from his paniced fleeing from the scene.

Riz could already feel himself on the edge of a full blown panic attack but his crystal wasn't going to stop blowing up until he answered. He didn't want to think about it but he needed to let them know what happened.

//Creep was hitting on me. Wouldn't take no for an answer. Grabbed me by the throat when i tried to leave... hiding now. Don't want to talk. Sorry.//

The goblin ended up ditching his shirt, vest and tie (too tight on his neck, need to change into something loose) on the floor of Fabians bathroom, scrubbing his hand and arm clean before stealing one of the fighters shirts and crawling under his bed to hide. The ridiculously silky duvet getting dragged underneath with him so he could cram himself into the corner against the wall and try not to hyperventilate too badly.

He wasn't doing a very good job of calming himself down, the roar of his heartbeat in his ears so loud that he didn't notice the door to Fabians room opening and closing as someone came in some time later. He DID however notice when someone shuffled under the bed with him, finding the edge of the blanket to half-crawl inside his bolt hole with him and grab him by the leg.

It was almost pitch-black in his little nest but his dark vision was good enough that he could see Fabian with total clarity as he crawled further inside until he was tucked up next to the goblin. Riz's ears flicking up in surprise and momuntarily stalling his panic attack when he noticed the quickly purpleing bruise on the fighters cheek. His concern for his friend overriding the part of his brain that was freaking out as he pivoted to fussing over the half elf instead.

"Fabian what the fuck happened?"

"Oh I beat up an orc, 'nd now ''m coming to check on you." Fabian grinned, though it was obvious he was very drunk by the slurring of his speech and the drooping of his ears. "Parties over. Fig 'n Gorgug are tossin' everyone out."

"Ah." The rogue blinked, rubbing a hand gently around the bruising and wishing he had some healing magic. "Gods he got you good."

"Y'should see the other guy." Fabian looked rather pleased with himself, shifting to wrap his arms around the goblin and use his stomach as a pillow. The action making Riz huff as the half elfs weight squished him slightly.... though it was making him feel a bit better. Like an overly warm weighted blanket.

[deconstructthesoup]

I've seen some good ones floating around, so here's my take on a Fantasy High Swap Class AU:

Adaine: She's a College of Creation bard, something that stemmed from needing something to keep herself sane growing up in the Abernant home. She channeled her studies of the cosmos and magic into songs, and she actually managed to pass herself off as a Conjuration wizard... until she got found out and sent to Aguefort. Luckily, it's the perfect place for her to hone her craft, and she winds up becoming an incredibly well-known songwriter---more on the indie folk side of things than punk rock, but still. (And she does also become the Elven Oracle, if only by accident.)

Kristen: She starts out as a Zealot barbarian under the Church of Helio, but it doesn't take long for her faith to waver, and she eventually falls into the unpredictability and beautiful chaos of the Path of Wild Magic---and eventually multiclasses into an Oath of the Ancients paladin, inspired by claiming Cassandra as a deity. She's got a lot of righteous fury and craziness at her disposal, and she's never gonna back down from a fight.

Fig: While still keeping her rebellious attitude, she decided to still accept the girly side of herself when her horns grew in and be more pastel-punk (kinda like K Tanaka), and she embraced her devil side by becoming a Trickster Domain cleric---specifically, a cleric of Asmodeus. She's still a lover of disguises, a shameless flirt, and has a shaky relationship with the truth, but it's cranked up to eleven due to her serving a deity of all that. She does eventually multiclass into being an Alchemist artificer, which is... just as chaotic as you might expect.

Riz: He's still a detective at heart, of course, but he winds up using his smarts and sneakery to become a School of Illusion wizard. This actually makes him perfectly suited to being the guy who's always trying to figure out the truth, even if his disguise habit is almost as bad as Fig's sometimes, and he takes on his secret-agent style way earlier than in canon. He's not strictly lawful---he's a big fan of finding out loopholes---but he's definitely the team's designated "smart guy."

Gorgug: His subclass was the hardest to figure out, but I decided he would be good as a Cavalier fighter---his martial prowess is still focused on helping and supporting his friends, regardless of whether it's through rage or skill. Eventually, though, he gets inspired by Adaine's creative ways of using magic and multiclasses into a College of Valor bard. And yes, he uses these skills in part to become a band member of hers. Fig is also part of the band.

Fabian: And last but not least, our Fabian got inspired by both Cathilda and a much more sober Hallariel to become a Swashbuckler rogue. His story is kind of an inverse of canon, with him learning from his mother and mother figure more than his father---partly due to the fact that Bill died before canon in this---and gaining a lot more pride from that (and yeah, that includes him introducing himself as "Fabian Seacaster, son of Hallariel Seacaster, the greatest swordfighter who's ever lived!"). But after his Bad Day, he realizes that there's worth in appreciating what his father has to offer, and he becomes a Fiend warlock of Old Bill---Pact of the Chain, of course, so the Hangman can be his familiar.

So, uh... yeah!

[fangirlingpuggle]

Half asleep fantasy high time travel AU idea where bad kids are still adventuring team as adults a big bad they’ve fought manages to get away and decides to take an Arthur Aguefort approach and use chronomancy to fix their problems taking on the bad kids while they’re still kids before they start the Aguefort adventuring academy or more accurately on their first day.

So, as the bad kids are arriving, they all suddenly get attacked and are of course freaking out (Golden horde is also freaking out because this is not his plan)

However, before they can hurt any of them cur future bad kids showing up and wrecking shit all the first episode before detention bad kids seeing their badass older adult selves and then either

A.

Bad kids have to stay in past to catch bad guy and protect younger selves as this chronomancy has gone multiverse theory and they only have a one-way trip back so cant lave til bad guy is caught.

Adaine: So we’re definitely in separate time line right?

Kristen: I mean Aguefort’s exact words we’re ‘no consequences you can go apeshit’

Adaine: Awesome *Instantly starts kicking shit out of her parents after wrapping her younger self and Alewyn in a blanket passing them Boggy*

Riz totally shots Goldenhoard, while him and Kristen are yelling out ‘HEY KALINA YOU BITCH SHOW YOURSELF’ Kristen having Cassandra’s power and kinda just going and speed running whole Nightmare king thing. Also her picking up her younger self and siblings up while her goddess appears just to flip off her parents.

Fabian’s younger self not being a fan of his older self being a bard… until Fabian kicks his ass while on his way to go get his bike for this timeline.

Younger Fig being so confused by the fact older Fig is Gilear's biggest fan and Gilear also super confused and trying not to cry because his daughter clearly isn’t going to hate him forever and he was sure she would. Fig also going to younger self like ‘Hey please stop with the transforming self you don’t need to it’s all good… hey maybe check out Leviathan for no reason’ she totally teasing her younger self because I have the best girlfriend ever.

Gorgug setting his homunculus on coach daybreak and also porter also sending a van after them to run them over.

Or

B.

They need to keep younger selves safe so scoop them up and throw them in the hangvan and take them to the future with them to keep them safe.

Cue all the freshman bad kids seeing how their lives are

Adaine seeing she has a family that loves her, Jawbone giving his daughter the biggest hug emotional to see her as she was when she was younger and Alewyn just uber protective over her baby baby sister and Adaine not believing she’s so loved.

Fabian shocked to see his older self as a bard (And he may have tried to sneak in and sue the weird elven sheet his older self has used not that he will ever admit it) but also his mother is sober… and a total badass. He also

Fig seeing herself with a good relationship with all her parents (also for some reason all her and her friends love Gilear) also she has a paramour whose a fucking amazing phoenix who younger Fig keeps tripping over herself to flirt with (disguising herself as her older self) Ayda thinks this is humorous older Fig is amused but also Hey get your own paramour.

Riz meeting his older self who is a badass with tattoos and so many friends. Also he works with angels. He is totally awestruck.

Kristen being shocked by how different her older self is and having a lot of realizations about herself. Also, her new goddess is the coolest and really happy to talk things through with her (Cassandra wants to keep her in this timeline, and is trying to figure out a way to break the timelines so she can get her as her prophet in the other timeline to without all the nightmare king stuff she’s the goodness of mystery she’s sure she can do it)

Gorgug meeting his older self whose a barbarian and an artificer and super smart and has a homunculus called Chloe and is so confident and smart.

Since gorgug canonically struggles with disassociation and derealization and stuff (nightmare king forest), and fabian’s mom was kind of fully out of it for most of his life (most likely because she didnt want to put all that effort and emotion into a child that would die, given what’s going on w/ gilear), I do think a fun angst idea would be like. Gorgug tries to go in the sensory deprivation egg because it’s a seacaster party and it’s loud as fuck and sleeps there, and then wakes up and is like. Oh wow we were dating? is this real? I thought I imagined that.

and their breath smells of alcohol because everyone had alcohol last night and Fabian kinda freaks out

yeah that would fuck fabian up intensely. hallariel neglected him and abandoned him repeatedly throughout his childhood and adolescence and less than two years into being sober immediately started doing so again so i tend to hc that he has an. interesting relationship w substances where he doesnt actually enjoy them? but thinks he Has To for similar "bill seacaster's fucked up standards" reasons.

so someone he loves--gorgug, someone he's IN LOVE WITH going into the sensory deprivation egg drunk (although i believe it was destroyed in canon?) and emerging w the scent of alcohol hanging over them would scare him pretty badly, esp w the "i thought i imagined that." bc in his eyes it's like oh. everyone is leaving again even gorgug and gorgug is just ???? wait this is real why is fabian freaking out he practically ran away. excellent mishmash of angst and various traumas rubbing up against each other

keep the thistlecaster ideas coming people if i run out im gonna have to write that tangled au...

Sometime in senior year Fabian and Fig insist on sneaking into a Bastion city college party with Ragh

Long headcanon/fic prompt post below

They try to get the others to join but Gorgug is too busy doing barbificer stuff, Kristen is working on high priestess campaigning stuff, Adaine just isn’t big on partying but agrees to pick them up once they get too drunk because she does not trust Fabian and Fig both on the Hangman while drunk off their asses, and Riz just flat out refuses to go to any party not thrown by Fabian after he went to one in junior year and accidentally drank a drink dosed with snuff powder (don’t ask how) and almost got more terrible tattoos and literally refused to get up in the morning his headache was so bad, but insists on giving Fabian a super high tech earpiece walkie talkie thing so he can talk to Fabian in case something happens (something he started doing after a party where they got separated and Fabian chucked his phone into a pool on a date and Riz almost had a panic attack because he couldn’t contact Fabian or find him), Fabian and Fig take that as an excuse to party as hard as they possibly can without any good influences around

Fig does just so much drugs she’s truly trying to live up to her rockstar title and completely forgets she’s trying to be sneaky so everybody knows that famous 17 year old high school dropout rockstar archdevil Fig Faeth is at this college party two hours away from where she lives

Fabian is very careful when it comes to drugs (his fathers entire crew and his father himself were high about 50% and it was fun but not his vibe so he treads carefully around that stuff) so he takes as little as he can while still coming off cool, he’s less careful when it comes to alcohol but sticks to beer and the occasional whiskey (somebody brought wine and he resolutely refuses to try it), does actually remember they’re trying to be stealthy but just doesn’t care, ends up challenging a 22 yo barbarian college senior who called him shrimpy to a game of chicken in the pool (he wins but that’s mainly because Ragh kicked the shins of the guy beneath the barbarian dude)

At some point Fig and Fabian just fucking full out spar on the roof, it’s a hazard to the entire house but everyone’s fucking loving the show so nobody’s complaining, it ends with them rolling off the roof into the pool

Jawbone lectures them for two hours afterwards because they stumble in at like 6 am reeking of drugs, alcohol, magic (Fig accidentally teleported into hell at some point nobody knows how but Fabian ritually summoned her back), and for some reason pool water, accompanied by Adaine, who tried her best to get them to sober up but they were going until she finally got there at 4 so they were still pretty hazey when they got in, and Riz, who was just trying to not get lectured by Jawbone for being up at 2 am by pretending he was only up to get Fig and Fabian, only to have his hair braided a million different ways by the time they got home

Jawbone insists on dropping Fabian off at Seacaster Manor so he doesn’t “keep the party going,” as Fabian described it when he attempted to whisper to Riz about his plan when he got home, Cathilda makes him a hangover cure that tastes disgusting but works wonders and her and Jawbone end up chatting over their chaotic kids while trying to get Fabian to go to sleep (because yes at some point Cathilda just started claiming Fabian as hers)

It unintentionally serves as great press for the next Fig and the Sig Figs album that comes out a week after the incident when a bunch of people start making edits of Fig dancing on tables at the party to the album (those edits eventually serve as inspo for her music video)

The parents of Fantasy High. .

The very chaotic wholesome Thistlesprings. Honestly Gorgug has such a loving home. Yes his adopted parents don't really understand him fully, but they full on support him with his studies. They definitely helped him on projects during Junior Year. They help him work on the van. The tree is a safe haven, like nothing happened to them during Freshman Year prior to Prom..... They cleaned house. They have a tank... And now multiple machines that Gorgug won't bother going there.

I still feel like Gorgug's biological parents are close with the Thistlesprings. He has healthy relationships on both sides.

Applebees. . .. They deserve what hopefully will be coming to them. And I hope Kristen gets her brothers out of that house. She doesn't need to convert her brothers to Cassandra or Ankarna or the Pantheon I believe she will set up. But talk to them enough to see that there are other ways of worship, and there isn't a wrong way of doing that.

Halleniel - I think that's how you spell her name... Honestly the ongoing bit of the new baby was very funny but in character terms it's heartbreaking. She was pretty much drunk and absent from Fabian's life while he was growing up. The only time Fabian saw her sober was HIS FATHER'S FUNERAL. Then the whole Junior Year thing happened. Halleniel went travelling, and yes communication goes both ways, but it was mainly Gillear that contracted Fabian... Her having a child, yes in my head Fabian becomes a beloved brother to this sibling and the rest of the Bad Kids also become the family to this kid. Like this kid will live longer than Fabian. . Maybe. . Halleniel doesn't want to bury her kid. .

Then again . .BILL SEACASTER... The Father that the Bad Kids need. .. like yeh he is chaos. .but he loves his boy. He loves Fabian. The whole conversation with Fabian at the end of Junior Year made my heart hurt. Bill taught the Bad Kids how to fight.... How to protect each other.... How to fight for each other. How to become not only an adventuring party but a crew. And a Crew is family.

Jawbone... What more can I say about the best parent in fantasy High . . Like he cares soo much about all the Bad Kids. He wants them to succeed. He was the one that suggested The Last Stand-ard. He goes along with the Bad Kids to help protect them, offers advice. He cares about Kristen. He doesn't ask questions about the Bad Kids schemes but just goes with it, knowing that they will be safe since they have each other.

Sandra Lynn - the messy bitch. Honestly she is changing and I love that for her. She is a mess. She has trauma.. she is growing from it. She cares about Fig and the rest of them. She was there for them in Sophomore Year. She helped again in Junior Year.

you'd think fabian would catch a break after bill's death but the second bill clocks out of giving fabian intense ominous speeches (sometimes borderline threats) embedded between "my darling boy"s and "i love you"s, hallariel comes out of 16 years of perpetual drunkenness into sobriety to clock IN to doing the exact same thing. first time we see her sober she threatens to duel fabian to the death. AND gilear is his stepdad. just L after L on the parental front for fabian aramais

[anomaliex]

Thinking too many thoughts today jesus fucking Christ. Fabian. Fabian alone in that big house. Fabian experiencing what I'll honestly read as depression and feeling abandoned and so lonely and craving connection, especially to his parents. Because he's a fucking teenage boy he's still a child even if he's eighteen of course he wants his parents. Fabian's mother and step-father that he's in denial about adoring are finally back. Mother's pregnant. Baby. Baby's gonna be "more important" than him because an infant needs more attention they kinda cannot survive otherwise. Eugh. Fabian.

I love those two, but what the fuck😭

This is a horrendous parenting choice?? I get that they're elves and their sense of time is SO skewed but you'd think that since they've lived in Solace which is full of other races all this time they'd have developed a sense of it. Especially Gilear who's shown to actually be pretty emotionally intelligent and a good dad and stuff. Hallariel is hashtag problematic in her parenting anyway ("I haven't been sober in fifteen years" implies that she started drinking excessively the moment Fabian popped out. Which is insane. Honestly I'm just impressed.) but like she clearly loves Fabian and she's clearly trying Hallariel girliepop what the fuck was this decision I can't keep defending you. It's not like time is dire they're literally immortal and I don't think they'd get too old to have kids for centuries, if that's a thing with elves at all. Also like, it seems like it was on purpose and not an accident. Could you not have waited,,,,like a year. Like a year after you left your son completely alone for almost an entire year, please? Or, even better, don't leave your teenage son alone for a year in the first place? Especially after not seeing him for two months because he was saving the world. Blease. A month or two of vacation would have sufficed. Hallariel. Hallariel. Gilear. What the fuck. I GET that it's for story reasons I understand why Brennan did that but just WHYYYY. FABIAN. Poor guy. Is there angsty fics about this I should. Check. Can they go to like, counselling? There's family therapists right. I think Hallariel needs counselling and a very late parenting class. Miss girl is out here making CHOICES.

No but genuinely Fabian being upset about potential new siblings makes me so sad. Cause it’s not just about him being an only child. It’s about him being an only child how was a victim of neglect from one of his parents. (And the other definitely had problems too)

Fabian loves his mamá and always has and but I don’t think he really knows that she loves him. Like logically she has told him she love him she has told him this repeatedly but she hasn’t really shown that to him.

Right when she started to get sober (or at least drinking less) and being more present in his life—which only happened because his other parent died and she was nearly killed which may not have happened if she was sober at the time—she gets remarried, goes on a long honeymoon (that may just end with her living in fallinel again), and starts talking about having kids.

Kids that would be full elf. Kids that are likely to be raised at least after he’s gone in fallienel and will be immortal. Kids that won’t remind her of her dead husband. Kids that won’t die in the blink of an eye to elvish lifespan. Kids that won’t miss on a majority of their formative years with their mother. Kids that will receive her full attention (because he asked her to be more present in her life).

Fabian just wanted to actually get to know his mother. He had a year with her and then she left and started planing a new life. Even if she includes him in that life he won’t live long enough to really be a part of it.

Fabian and his mother make me so sad.
