Nunca houve qualquer dúvida por parte de Gilbert, aqui não trabalhamos com perdedores e nem com humildade, logo, menos de quinze minutos dentro da festa e com apenas alguns goles de vinho descendo pela garganta, ele já começou a contar vantagem 'pros irmãos: "Eu 'tava confiante que eu ia ganhar, caras, afinal quem mais ia botar moral no chalé? Só eu e meu incrível carisma, mesmo! Dito isso, agradeço demais pela confiança, parças!" Tirando a última parte, o resto era, logicamente, tudo balela, no entanto, o rapaz estava verdadeiramente muito animado, não só com a festa, mas também com o fato de ter sido oficialmente nomeado Conselheiro. Sendo assim, o filho de hermes não poupou esforços no look: calça jeans personalizada, com um tênis branco — bem lavado especialmente para a ocasião — acompanhado de uma blusa de botão estampada — toda aberta, com direito a tetas de fora — e um par de luvas escuras, afinal, um bom ladino não sai sem elas. Para completar a combinação, Gilbert usou seu brinco favorito: o de adaga, que era, para ele, bastante temático.

They Canceled Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. Here’s a petition to switch it to another platform and save it.

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies portrays a great level of diversity that is hard to rival in modern television. Characters from all ethnicities, sexualities, and social status are represented. It has an extremely dedicated fan base, but Paramount has made the decision to cancel the series and remove it show from their platform in the next week, essentially making it impossible to watch. This means that those involved with the show’s creation and production get no further compensation for their efforts. It is a tax write off for the company.

Additionally, ROTPL is (currently) destined to fall into the bin of “great sapphic representation silenced”, which also includes Everything Sucks(2019), I Am Not Okay With this(2020), and many others.

Aside from signing this petition you may also email and submit suggestions to alternative streaming platforms (such as Netflix, Hulu, Max, and Amazon Prime Video) to uptake the mantle. Other series to face cancellation have been saved in this way, notably the sitcom One Day at a Time(2017), which was initially removed from Netflix but later transferred to PopTV to finish its entire run.

Please do not let Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies die. Many of the cast have been extremely outspoken in their support of its renewal for a second season, and have been brought much grief by this sudden choice. The writers, actors, and producers should not be faulted and punished for their beautiful work, especially when ROTPL had only finished its first season 2/3 weeks before this sudden news. Revelation of its removal is frankly ridiculous, all things considered. Remember to Think Pink!

Things such are Hell and Heaven are canon in Hetalia, where pretty much anything that humans believe strongly enough exist.

Think in Gilbert telling to some of the others Europeans nations, half-joking, half-serious:

"I'll save you a spot for you in Hell :))))))))"

Much later (20XX or 2XXX), after Gilbert's death, the Devil using Gilbert's likeness to say hi to the same Europeans in nightmares—meanwhile Gil is actually recreating DOOM, and mostly losing, but don't worry he will get the hang of it eventually.

BOOBOO STEWART? Não! É apenas GILBERT ROCKBELL, ele é filho de HERMES e CONSELHEIRO do chalé ONZE e tem VINTE E SEIS anos. A TV Hefesto informa no guia de programação que ele está no NÍVEL III por estar no acampamento há DEZOITO ANOS, sabia? E se lá estiver certo, GIL é bastante ESPIRITUOSO, mas também dizem que ele é TRAPACEIRO. Mas você sabe como Hefesto é, sempre inventando fake news pra atrair audiência.

ɪ. 𝔭𝔬𝔡𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔰 —

Prestidigitação — Gilbert é capaz de produzir pequenos efeitos mágicos e inofensivos, em outras palavras, ele executa truques ilusórios. Algo que um mágico de rua ou um ladrão — ou um vigarista — seria capaz de fazer, porém, um pouco mais palpável. Dentro de um alcance de três metros, Gil pode criar efeitos sensoriais inofensivos, acender ou apagar instantaneamente pequenas fontes de fogo, projetar cores e símbolos em superfícies de objetos, limpar ou sujar um objeto e até criar uma imagem ilusória que cabe em sua mão. Definitivamente, não é uma habilidade muito útil em combate, visto que todos os efeitos são inofensivos e o alcance é curto, mas, para um trapaceiro como ele, o semideus certamente encontra usos interessantes para ela. 

Percepção Ilusória [ habilidade passiva ] — Gilbert adquiriu a capacidade de ver através de ilusões, para ele é muito mais fácil identificar quando um efeito ou ação foram causados por magia ou criados a partir da manipulação da névoa. Assim, ele pode ver através de disfarces de monstros com maior facilidade, além disso, criaturas que utilizam manipulação de névoa possuem dificuldade para aplicar o efeito nele. Contudo, criaturas consideravelmente mais poderosas do que ele são capazes de ultrapassar suas resistências e fazê-lo cair em ilusões; nesse caso, o semideus ainda terá certa vantagem para ver através do que é falso, mas precisar�� se concentrar muito mais e gastar mais energia.

Conselheiro do Chalé de Hermes, Instrutor de Combate Corpo-a-Corpo e participa da Corrida de Obstáculos no Time Vermelho.

Gil tem um conjunto de três adagas de arremesso que retornam para seu cinto uma vez que acertam o alvo. Elas são feitas de bronze celestial, mas cada uma tem um design único, sendo uma delas uma adaga tradicional, a outra uma de lâmina curva e a última com a lâmina serrilhada. Quando precisa sair em missão ou entrar em combate, Gil gosta de mergulhar cada uma em tipos diferentes de venenos. Elas se chamam, respectivamente, Robin Hood, Houdini e Billy The Kid.

ᴠ. 𝔟𝔦𝔬𝔤𝔯𝔞𝔣𝔦𝔞—

— Gilbert nasceu da união de uma magnata de Manhattan, Elinor Rockbell, e o deus Hermes. Ele e sua irmã gêmea, Duncan, foram recebidos com muita alegria pela mulher que, perdidamente apaixonada pelo deus, via aquelas crianças como seus tesouros, fruto de seu amor verdadeiro. Contudo, deuses são ocupados, ainda mais o deus mensageiro. Quando Hermes se foi, Elinor entrou numa depressão profunda. Desenvolvendo um tipo de carência crônica e aversão à solidão, a modelo começou a adotar mais e mais crianças, numa tentativa desesperada de encher a enorme mansão do Upper East Side. Não que ela estivesse em condições emocionais de cuidar de nenhuma delas, porém, para Elinor, como uma mulher influente, era fácil conseguir o que queria. Nessa época, Gil e Duncan já estavam mais crescidos e, por estarem sempre juntos, acabaram atraindo um monstro que os atacou. Sem demora, os gêmeos foram levados ao Acampamento Meio-Sangue com apenas 8 anos de idade. 

— O Acampamento Meio-Sangue é o verdadeiro lar de Gilbert, visto que foi lá onde cresceu e aprendeu a cuidar de si mesmo e de seus irmãos. O rapaz ainda faz visitas a Elinor, que, enquanto os gêmeos estavam no Acampamento, adotou um total de dez filhos. Apesar disso, ele não tem muito apego à casa da mãe, por mais que a ame, ou aos irmãos postiços e normalmente prefere passar o ano todo no Acampamento. Não o leve a mal, é só que depois de alguns anos tendo de se virar por conta própria com sua irmã, e com um centauro como a figura mais próxima de um pai, as coisas mudam. Além disso, sua relação com seus irmãos adotivos é estranha, para dizer o mínimo, uma vez que eles se veem uma vez por ano, e isso quando o encontro dá certo. Em resumo, sua relação com os Rockbell é distante, por mais que sua mãe sempre o receba com alegria, um quarto bem arrumado e inúmeros mimos.

— Como um dos membros mais antigos, foi quase natural para Gil eventualmente tornar-se Instrutor de Combate corpo-a-corpo, uma vez que seu poder único não possui caráter combativo, ele precisou aprender a compensar com proeza física. Sua agilidade acentuada contribui para ajudar nas instruções sobre esquiva e furtividade, suas especialidades, além de ele ser um alvo mais difícil de acertar graças à velocidade sobre-humana. Após alguns anos atuando como instrutor, o rapaz genuinamente tomou gosto pela função, e acredita que está no lugar certo ajudando novos semideuses a aprender a se defender e sobreviver. Além disso, devido ao tempo que ele mora no Acampamento e, portanto, aos anos vivendo no Chalé 11, ele não só está acostumado a cuidar de uma tropa de pirralhos, como também aprendeu a lidar com os problemas da maneira mais leve possível. Ele é um rapaz extremamente espirituoso, simpático e generoso, o que o tornaria uma excelente companhia, se não fosse seu problema com pequenos furtos. Gil é um cleptomaníaco com sérios problemas de controle de impulso, de forma que seus bolsos nunca estão vazios, mas, se você souber lidar com os roubos, as piadas completamente desequilibradas e o casual ar de alguém que está prestes a te passar a perna, ele é um bom amigo!

— Gilbert estava no jantar quando Rachel recitou a profecia, visto que raramente deixa o acampamento. O evento, logicamente, o deixou tenso, ainda mais com a subsequente mudança no clima local, fazendo-o imaginar que o que está por vir, o que quer que seja, é extremamente perigoso. Ele espera, genuinamente, que ele e a irmã não sejam convocados para nenhuma missão maluca, afinal, sendo perfeitamente honesto — algo relativamente raro para Gilbert —, ele gosta de viver.

ᴠɪ. 𝔱𝔯𝔦𝔳𝔦𝔞 —

— O estilo de luta de Gilbert se assemelha ao de um ladino, visto que é o mais adequado para ele levando em conta sua descendência divina. O semideus é veloz e talentoso com furtividade e com prestidigitação e opta por um estilo de combate que consiste, basicamente, de “bater e correr”, sendo capaz de danificar seus inimigos substancialmente enquanto evita ataques poderosos.

— Ele usa dos seus conhecimentos de combate furtivo e do seu instinto de sobrevivência aguçado para permear suas lições como instrutor de combate corpo-a-corpo. Gilbert e a irmã complementam as aulas com seus estilos diferentes, mas que se completam.

— Gil tem uma coleção de facas, canivetes e outras coisas pontiagudas que ele pode usar para espetar as pessoas das maneiras mais criativas possíveis, mas são todos itens mundanos, presentes de sua mãe. Seu favorito é um canivete suíço com um par de asas entalhadas na lateral, ele sempre carrega consigo, afinal, é um item muito útil.

— Inclusive, seus bolsos literalmente nunca estão vazios. Normalmente cheios de coisas pequenas que não lhe pertencem. Ele tem o costume de devolver as coisas que rouba... eventualmente.

— Embora seja impulsivo e um trapaceiro de marca maior, Gilbert é muito cuidadoso e responsável com as crianças do acampamento e, principalmente, com aqueles que ficam no Chalé de Hermes. Ele gosta de usar seus truques de prestidigitação para animar e distrair os moleques.

— Gilbert nunca pensou muito além do Acampamento, ou do que gostaria de fazer no mundo mortal, afinal, sua mãe é rica, ele já tem a profissão dos sonhos: herdeiro.

— Ele gosta de skate e seu estilo reflete um pouco isso, usando roupas bem despojadas e puxadas mais para o street em conjunto com as blusas do Acampamento Meio-Sangue.

— É pansexual e isso não é segredo, levando em conta que Gilbert é engual corrimão de quartel: todo mundo já passou a mão. Ele é assim: facinho facinho, afinal, caiu na rede é peixe! Ele gosta de deixar fluir e não quer se prender a compromissos, o que significa que ele sai correndo ao menor sinal de que um rolo possa se tornar sério.

Scrolling through monster high tags anywhere just to find actual litteral adults having beef with a fictional 16 abused child, Gil Webber they can never make me hate you

But he didn't defend lagoona.. did we watch the same damn series ?? Gil's parents screamed and threatened him every time they were on screen it's genuinely concerning that Lagoona kept pressuring him to go against them when they clearly had shown they were willing to abuse their power over him by sending him away , changing his schedule, keeping him from going out to see her ect , and yet still he picks fights with them over this (think defending your laggona ) . Obviously Lagoona has every right to feel sad that her boyfriends parents are abusive jerks but Gil is the one that had to go home to those assholes everyday, give him a break , he's a 16 year old that needs medical insurance to breathe what do you expect him to do? Run away???? Pick even more flights with the people that control his life financially???

I didn't even care about Gil, but then my tik tok got flooded with edits of people hating Gil out of nowhere and at first i thought it was a meme or something I missed, until they tried to say he cheated on Lagoona with Lorna, something that litteraly didn't happen , and that made me feel so confused that I started rewatching g1 trying keep a close eye on him to find why people hated him so much only to find my self pitying him

Every time I see people hate on him I feel like I'm watching someone kick a kitten

It feels silly calling myself a Gil Defender mostly cause I'm terrified that I'll be bullied of the internet but oh well..

In the Light of the Morning

Fandom: Ikémen Prince Characters: Gilbert von Obsidian Pairing: Gilbert von Obsidian / Unnamed Main Character Genre: Smut. Does what it says on the tin. MDNI. Word Count: 1427 Summary: Gilbert has a gift for the Little Rabbit. I've also posted this and other fics I have on AO3. You can also read this one here. Hihihi. @rjthirsty tagging you for this, but also needed to tell you thank you for this post which inspired some of the content in this one. Also thank you to @wistfulwanderingone and @missaengg who both helped with editing and such. I really appreciate it!

“Little Rabbit, I have a gift for you…”

The light of the early morning bathed her in gold as she turned her head towards me, still hazy from sleep. She blinked a few times, and searched my face for a clue.

“Oh, it’s nothing bad,” I smiled at her.  “But you’ll tell me if you don’t like it, right?”

She seemed to swallow hesitantly before quietly asking, “What is it?”

“That’s a secret.” She furrowed her brows as I continued, “But if you lie to me about what you think about my gift, I’ll kill you.”

I leaned over to kiss her but stopped before reaching her lips. She’d closed her eyes in anticipation but opened them after a few seconds of waiting. 

“So…will you accept my gift?” 

She still seemed somewhat hesitant, but bit her lip and nodded.

 “Good girl, I didn’t want to have to force you to accept it.” I captured her lips in a kiss. She sleepily wrapped her arms around me, settling into both the bed and the familiar feeling. 

I bit at her lip before continuing to kiss her, trailing kisses down her jaw and neck before marking her with my teeth. 

I could feel her wince from underneath me, still unprepared for the slight pain. I laughed and licked a stripe up to her ear before whispering, “It surprises me you still aren’t used to that.”

She groaned slightly. “It’s early, Gil.”

“I know, Little Rabbit, but this is the best time to give you your gift.” I bit the shell of her ear before returning my attention to her neck, the red outline of my teeth already evident. How I wanted absolutely nothing more than to mark her all over so that no one would ever dare question that she belonged to me. 

“Mmm, but what is it?” she repeated, this time her words taking on a breathy tone. 

“How impertinent of you…and especially after I already told you it’s a secret…” In response, I bit her this time on her collarbone.

She flinched and tried to move out of my grasp. Her movement sent the black strap of her nightgown down her shoulder.

“Hm…” I snaked my hands up her arms, grabbing the straps and forcing them down. I smirked at the way her nipples seemed to respond to the cold air of the morning. She whimpered and urged me back into a kiss. I bit at her lip again, and pushed my knee between her thighs, climbing on top of her. 

The golden lace on her black nightgown was barely visible now that it pooled around her waist; the warm glow of the morning doing little to change the contrast of her skin against the dark black of the sheets. She arched her back as I kissed and bit her breasts, my nails dragging down her back.

In one swift movement I pulled off both her nightgown and her underwear, leaving her completely bare before me. I looked over her body hungrily, admiring both the marks I had left on her and the way that she looked on the bed we’d come to share.

I watched as she turned her face away, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

“Blushing already?” I lowered myself in between her legs and continued, “Aww, you still act like I’ve never seen you like this before.” With a smile, I ran my hand up her thigh to her hip bone and pulled her body down the bed closer to me. 

“But you’re mine, Little Rabbit,” I spread her legs slightly. “You were mine the moment I laid eyes on you.”

She finally looked down at me in anticipation, realization dawning on her face. I smirked at her and finally spread her lips, flicking my tongue against her clit. 

Her body relaxed, her hands tangling in my hair. The fact that she had become so comfortable with me sent a massive amount of pride through me. She was mine, undeniably, in body and soul. With my tongue, I repeatedly traced out the word: M-I-N-E.

I pushed her legs out slightly further and pulled away from her to bite and suck at the inside of her left thigh. Though she still winced at the pain, her breathing hitched as her back arched slightly off the bed. I smiled to myself and wondered when she had realized that she enjoyed being bitten by me.

Spreading her folds for better access, I returned to her clit. With a pleased sigh, she eased back down again, relaxing against my tongue. The heat from her entrance was spreading further down her legs, her hips pushing up to meet my mouth.

I flicked my eyes up to look at her. Even from this angle, she looked so beautiful; her long hair spread out over the sheets, the rosy pink blush on her cheeks, the way she smiled at me when her darkened eyes turned down to meet mine. I doubted she knew how much she tested me any time she looked at me like that. Her eyelids fluttered shut, breaking the gaze.

If I could be more vulnerable, I would say those words and more to her. Instead, I settled down, reaching under her legs so that my hands rested on her hips, pulling her ever closer to me and traced out the words I couldn’t bring myself to say: I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U. “Gil,” she gasped, her voice thinner than before.

I abruptly pulled away from her, and leaned my head against her trembling thigh. “Yes?”

“Mmm… please?”

I lazily traced my fingers against her hip bone before turning and biting at her right thigh, “Please what?”

Her grip on my hair became tighter as she eagerly rocked her hips to me. The control I held over the situation seemed tenuous for a moment and there was a part of me that wanted to forgo my gift for her and take her right there. 

I shifted slightly, and feigning ignorance, raised an eyebrow. “I don’t understand what you want.”

She seemed frustrated, the pink of her cheeks taking on a deeper shade. “Want to finish…” she mumbled, looking away from me.

I smirked at her. “You want to finish?” 

She nodded, her eyes turned away from me, so I bit the inside of her thigh again. 

“Ow!”

“Look at me.”

She finally met my gaze and I continued, “You want to finish?”

She bit her lip once more and nodded. 

I returned to the center of her thighs and spread her, my tongue slowly lapping at her clit. Needily, she responded by trying to grind her hips against my tongue but I held tight to her hips, setting the pace.

“Needy Little Rabbit…” I murmured into her wet heat and continued to languidly lick at her clit. The trembling of her legs had begun to still, though her grip on my hair seemed harder, her breaths shallow in her chest. “Please…” she gasped out. 

I continued to slowly swirl my tongue around her clit until her body was completely tense, like tightly wound strings close to snapping. For a moment I wondered if I was being too cruel, but I knew how close she was; how hot and wet she was.

I smiled to myself, easing away from her and bit the inside of her thigh a final time. The pain sent a shock through her.

“As much as I would love to continue, I think it’s getting a little late, don’t you?” I leaned my head against her thigh again and with a smile on my face, gazed up at her. 

She relaxed her grip on my hair and her chest seemed to deflate as she asked, “What?”

I untangled my arms from her body, sat up and pulled her arms off of me. “Well… I have things to do today, and I know you do as well.” I admired the newly formed bruises on her body and felt pleased that she wouldn’t be able to move at all without thinking of me.

She looked shocked, “But, I…” 

“I’ll give you the rest of your gift later,” I said, starting to stand up. I was still aching for her, but the selfish part of me wanted her to taste the same bitter medicine I had for years while she haunted my thoughts.  

I started walking towards the bathroom, but turned to look at her before saying, “And don’t try to open your gift before tonight.”

She swallowed hard, her eyes trained on mine.

“Or else I’ll kill you.”

[howlsmovinglibrary]

You mentioned in the tags of a recent post what you’d change about Funny Story to make it a different book. Would you mind elaborating on what you meant by that? I’m curious!

hey anon, thank you for being a massive enabler bc this has in fact been my special topic for the last 48hrs.

I want to state off the bat that I still gave this book 4.75 stars. I really, really enjoyed it. That being said, I'd literally rewrite the entire thing to get it to 5.

Answer under the cut to avoid spoilers! (also shout out to @eldritchcow bc these ideas are not formed alone but through a series of ranting voice notes lmfao)

The premise of Funny Story is that two exes move in with each other after their partners run away together - the main character, Daphne, has her wedding cancelled as a result, and Miles, the love interest, also gets a pretty crap deal bc his girlfriend literally breaks up with him via A NOTE ON THE KITCHEN COUNTERTOP, before running off on holiday with another man (after they hook up AT HIS BACHELOR PARTY. DAPHNE AND MILES DESERVED TO DO VIOLENCE). Miles and Daphne move in together, a series of circumstances means that Daphne tells her ex they are now dating, and that Miles will be her plus to the NEW WEDDING that they have been INVITED TO.

Personally, I think this - two exes move in, fake date, develop feelings - is such a juicy set up for a novel, that it could carry the whole plot. But at about the halfway mark, a bunch of other stuff - family drama, friendship drama - is bought in for the third act conflict. The exes and all their drama fades to the background, and its no longer about this Very Juicy Set Up, which I think is a shame. I think that the premise could've carried the entire plot and that there was no need to bring in additional conflict... except that Emily Henry is known for adding conflicts outside of romance to her novels (creating well-rounded, 'feminist' characters - I'm not being mean, that is just the perception of it and what she is known for) and that this is thus more brand appropriate. By the same logic, it is 'less feminist' of me to argue that the book should've been more about the romance.

But it should've been more about the romance.

If I rewrote/re-edited this book, I would do the following.

Make Daphne and Miles be messier people. These two characters behave like FUCKING SAINTS, while their exes are awfully and affably evil. I've had multiple friends say that Daphne should've hit Peter (her ex) with a car. I don't necessarily think that would've been the way, but I think she should've made much more spiteful decisions. I think Henry is very concerned in stressing that these are Two Very Goody and Utterly Blameless main characters, but I think they should've gotten a little spite as a treat, actually.

And the spite they should've gotten as a treat is - fucking each other.

As is the way with romance books, there are certain 'acceptable thresholds' for smut/romance scenes. So I get it, I really do. But Daphne and Miles only bang once it's a healthy decision... and I'll be honest, it would've been sexier if they had had sex in an unhealthy place. (for the people who've read the book: kiss at the drunk night out with Gil, sex at the truck or before the truck, then Sex With Real Feelings at the point where they actually have sex)

If they had had sex out of spite/petty revenge first, then the entire plot of the book could've been around 'catching feelings' and this would still have been a totally valid character arc. I would've liked to have seen more questionable decisions that are still somewhat about the exes - more of the 'are we doing this for them or for ourselves?' conflict which is microdosed at the midway point - and then feelings developing, and then making the 'no I actually really like you so we can't do this for the wrong reasons anymore' be the final sex scene before the third act conflict

Two things would be vastly improved by this change: 1. a weird scene where Miles sees Daphne in her former wedding dress, and they really should've fucked? but they don't? because that would be the tiniest bit weird??? (like, slightly weird and messy, in such the smallest way, but I think it was sanitised down for that reason) 2. the fact that their exes break up and call-off their wedding off screen. Have them break up at the rehearsal dinner that Miles/Daphne are attending, actually. Then you have your third act conflict.

The third act conflict of Funny Story is insane, convoluted, and unrelated to the story, IMO. Is it still well written? YES. Emily Henry, you will always be famous. But my favourite parts of it were 1. both Miles and Daphne get caught in their exes' orbit as they break up, and this causes them both to doubt their relationship (shout out to Miles having such low self esteem that he automatically thinks they're back together, I understand you king) 2. Daphne fucks up a promise she made to a friend (but bc she's not allowed to be a bad person - see the first point - it's for totally understandable reasons), leading her to wonder if she's just become part of another couple, where she's swapped one man and his house for another man, and his house. I personally think that these VERY MINOR FOOTNOTES in what is ACTUALLY the third act conflict... are a third act conflict in and of themselves. And... if we go back to what I said about Emily Henry being known for Feminism™, the second part of that is a totally valid trope/feminist critique to dig into in depth that would, if given time to breathe, be 'on brand'.

In this book, Miles drives 2hrs to try and get Daphne's shitty dad to come back to her. Where is this energy, for Peter? I think, Miles should've punched Peter, as a treat. And Petra should've had more scenes, so that she actually had a personality beyond 'being hot'.

I think we should've had a messy wedding scene. Daphne and Miles are each others plus ones, but they never get to attend bc the wedding is called off. But that wedding?!!! or that rehearsal dinner?!!! IS THAT NOT THE STUFF THAT THIRD AT CONFLICTS DREAM OF???

TLDR - I think Funny Story should've had more sex, and been more about the romance premise and the kind of fucked up, messy choices and weird feelings that premise engendered. I think the third act should've been connected to pre-existing conflicts, instead of creating new ones. I think Miles and Daphne could've had a little revenge, as a treat. They should've allowed to be sexy and weird about it.

Tagging @idiotic-syndic with no pressure whatsoever!

[rose-of-oz]

okay I'm trying to reach out more but I'm really really bad at it. so- would you tell me about the top three ocs who are currently occupying the most space in your brain?

Of course, thank you so so much for this!! I’m just gonna give you a few facts about the three babies who have all been in my head lately, and I’m also gonna tag @endless-oc-creations, @manyfandomocs, @ginger-grimm, @dancingsunflowers-ocs, @ginevrastilinski-ocs, @gabbysdawsons, @negative-speedforce-ocs, @valdrinors-writing, @luucypevensie, and @aceyanaheim!! <3 <3

First, let’s talk about Sebastian, one of my Descendants babies:

Despite being his parents’ only child and thus the sole heir to the throne of the Summerlands, he’s never really wanted to be a king. He just doesn’t think he’s built for all the responsibility and being in the spotlight any more than he already is as a prince, and eventually ends up ceding the throne to Hector, Happy’s son.

He’s a poly ship with Uma, Harry, and Gil! The pirates are all already dating each other when they first arrive in Auradon for good, but Sebastian and Harry start dating on their own at first, before he joins the group and becomes the boyfriend of all three of them.

He’s actually on the Yearbook Committee at Auradon Prep! He’s in charge of editing, and despite everyone’s doubts when he first joined the group, the yearbooks he puts together are always well-organized and beautiful.

He was raised very closely alongside Ben, Audrey, and Chad, since Belle, Snow, Aurora, and Cinderella are all really close through their bond as the sort of “original” princesses. He’s been pretty good friends with Ben since they were in diapers as a result, but he’s been steering clear of Audrey and Chad for a while after they started to get meaner.

He shares his mother’s love of animals, even if he can’t communicate with them the way she can. He keeps a big bird feeder outside the window of his dorm room, and often buys bags of nuts from the grocery store in the town close to school so he can feed any squirrels he comes across.

Next, let’s talk about my new Wicked OC, Faerene Tigelaar!

Despite the fact that Winkies are largely not part of the Unionist religion, worshipping nature and the spirits of their ancestors instead, Faerene has long been fascinated with organized religions and has read a lot about Unionist beliefs and traditions. As such, they immediately recognize that Elphaba’s name comes from Saint Aelphaba of the Waterfall, and loves to have religious debates with her, given all the knowledge she has from growing up in a devout Unionist family. (We’re going mostly off of musical canon here, so we’re saying that the Thropps are just big Unionists instead of Elphaba’s dad being a preacher.)

Speaking of names, Faerene’s a big nickname person! They’re literally the only person to call Elphaba Fabala, the common nickname for her name, before Glinda picks it up, and have been calling Fiyero Fifi since they were only little. They also call Glinda Gally before she changes her name, and Glindy afterwards.

Though Faerene was certainly known for speaking up for the rights of Animals before they even went to Shiz, they of course become even more fervent in their fight for it after meeting Elphaba and sticking up for Dr. Dillamond with her, and once they go into their sort-of exile back home in Winkie Country after Elphaba rejects the Wizard, they begin to actually use their power as a royal to develop programs to help Animals advance in society, as well as beginning to form a rebellion against the Wizard.

After the end of their story, when Elphaba becomes the new ruler of Oz and she, Faerene, and Glinda get married, Faerene refuses to go by any title other than Consort. It’s their own way of reinforcing the fact that they belong to Elphaba and Glinda, the same way they both belong to them.

Though their sorcery never becomes as strong as Elphaba’s, Faerene does develop their powers of light a lot and becomes very powerful, often using their magic to entertain people and quite literally light up gatherings held at the Emerald City palace.

And, last but not least, let’s have some facts about my beautiful Eternal boy Helios!!

Though the application of his Eternal powers that Helios most often uses is creating big blasts of light, there’s a lot he can do with his powers! He can manipulate any kind of light-producing technology, such as spotlights and any non-LED lightbulbs, manipulate the light around himself and other things to make them invisible, and even increase or dim any light produced by his fellow Eternals using their powers.

Despite having lived on Earth for so so long, Helios still does not know how to ride a horse. Those fuckers terrify him, and he does not trust them one bit.

Even after the Eternals all went their separate ways and he hadn’t seen Kingo in several hundred years after rejecting him, Helios still watched all of Kingo’s movies as they came out, studying his love’s face in every single frame, and by the time they meet again, he definitely has all the Bollywood dances in the movies memorized.

Since all of the Eternals have kind of their own signature colour via their battle costumes, Helios’s is a pale, shimmering gold.

He actually did consider becoming a superhero for a while after Captain America went into the ice, still wanting to use his immortality and gifts to help humans even if he didn’t think there were any Deviants left, but he never went through with it because he didn’t want to risk revealing the secret of the Eternals to the people of Earth.
