[Squeals and laughs]

Max: You had to see this coming...?

Celia: Duh! That’s not why I like these.

[Laughs and groans of disgust]

Max: Then why do you like these old horror movies?

Celia: For the reactions they get from people... without all the special effects we have access to today. It takes a lot of creativity to stir the right emotions.

Joana: I need help in the dining room. Can I get a hand? Lucas. Chris.

Kensia: Where’s the bathroom?

Shanna: Upstairs. Second door to the left. Come, I’ll show you.

Naya: Wait for me.

Max: Where did they all go?

Celia: I think they’re preparing their surprise for the cake or something.

Max: Do you like surprises?

Celia: I do, especially when it’s done with good intentions. You guys did all this for me, thinking of what I would like. It's really sweet.

Max: Glad to be a part of it then.

Celia: You don’t seem to be into surprises.

Max: Nah! Had too many bad ones to count. I like to control what’s going to happen.

Celia: You can’t control everything, though. How about spontaneity?

Max: You can be spontaneous and still be in control. I see it more like seizing an opportunity.

Celia: And what would push you to do that?

Max: [Shrugs] Confidence, trust... or lack thereof.

Celia: How about me? Do you trust me?

Max: [strained chuckle] I-why?

Celia: [disappointed] I guess you don’t.

Max: No, I do.

Celia: [...]

Max: Wha-

Apple of My Eye Chapter Thirteen

Harry Hook x Child of Snow White! Reader

Chapter Thirteen: Audrey Knows Best

Summary: After such a happy moment like an engagement, everyone expects things to head towards "happily ever after." Audrey decides she won't accept that.

            “The crown and scepter are missing?” said (Y/N), eyes wide. Barely a few hours had passed since Hades’s near-escape and the arrival of the New VKs, and already, things were going wrong.

            Mal nodded grimly. “No one has any idea where they are.”

            Somewhere, someone in Auradon had a royal crown—the Queen��s—and Maleficent’s scepter, one of the most powerful magical items in the world. What that person was planning on doing with them was a mystery, and a dangerous one at that.

            “Does anyone else know that they’re missing?” said Evie.

            “No one,” said Mal. “Just us, the royal family, and Fairy Godmother.”

            “They don’t want to worry people,” said (Y/N), pursing their lips.

            Mal nodded. “People are scared enough as it is. We have to employ these entirely new security measures.”

            “Will this delay our bringing over more VKs?” asked Evie.

            “We’re talking about closing the barrier for good,” said Mal grimly.

            “What?” (Y/N)’s straightened in shock. “No.”

            “The four of us are living the dream here, and we finally get to share that,” agreed Evie. “We can’t close it now. I mean, what could be more important than that?”

            “Yeah. I know,” said Mal. “I mean, maybe security or peace of mind for everyone in Auradon.”

            “Is that what they’re thinking?” said Evie.

            “It would just be punishing all those kids again for the actions of a few people,” said (Y/N), shaking their head in disappointment.

            “And closing it forever? What about seeing our parents? We just started rebuilding our relationships with them,” said Evie. “And what about these kids? We promised them that they could go back and visit whenever they wanted.”

            “Yeah, I know,” said Mal.

            “M…” Evie took Mal’s hand. “I am so glad that you’re going to be Queen. You will be a part of these conversations, you will stand up for the VKs. Thank you for telling us.”

            “You’re going to be a great Queen,” said (Y/N), smiling.

l

            “Morning, everyone,” said (Y/N) as they entered Evie’s little castle. The VKs had moved in there, and (Y/N) had an old cottage their parents used in the past nearby, all in walking distance of Auradon Prep.

            It was Jane’s birthday, and they were heading off in a few minutes with all the VKs—new and old—to the Enchanted Lake where the “pool” (lake) party was taking place. Today, they had on blue jeans, a red camisole over a white shirt, and a yellow cardigan. In their arms they held a picnic basket with their swim trunks, towel, and snacks inside.

            “Morning,” said Evie, smiling as she and the boys finished packing. “Catch these.” She tossed apples to Jay and Carlos. “Want one?”

            “Still not big on apples,” teased (Y/N).

            “Oh, but I’m not a stranger,” teased Evie right back before laughing and packing the apple for herself.

            “I really think she’s going to like the cake, guys,” said Carlos excitedly. He had worked hard planning Jane’s birthday. He groaned. “Oh, no. Okay, who got to Jane’s cake?!”

            “Probably one of the younger kids,” said Evie.

            “Remember how much we got into sweets when we got here?” said Jay.

            Carlos sighed. “I do.” He’d forgive the younger kids. He still had a gift for Jane, anyways.

            “You’ll pay the price of what you did, and so will all of Auradon!”

            The VKs and (Y/N) stiffened at the angry voice. Instantly, they ran to the doors of the castle and flung them open. Celia, hearing the same shout, followed. They came up short as they found an old lady cowering from Audrey.

            She had on a pink leather outfit that was frayed with black feathers and a cloak. A crown glittered on her head, and Maleficent’s scepter was held tightly in her hand. She grinned at them, all wildness and anger.

            She was the one who had stolen the artifacts and was now on a rampage, such a far cry from the princess act she always had (even if condescending).

            “So long, suckers,” said Audrey. She spun, and pink smoke appeared around her. She disappeared.

            “I can’t believe this is how she snapped,” murmured (Y/N). “I expected an alternative phase, but not an evil one.” They frowned. They wished Audrey had proper friends and less of her grandma’s pressure when it came to her life. That couldn’t have been good for her, and now she was taking out her frustrations on everyone else.

            Jay grimaced as he looked at Mal (Old? Mal). “Whoa. You should, uh, think of a spell for that.”

            “Yeah, you look like you’re going to try to give me an apple,” said (Y/N), making a face.

            “There’s no spell that can reverse the curse of the scepter,” said Mal.

            “Are we sure True Love’s Kiss can’t handle it?” said (Y/N), frowning.

            “Forget about me,” said Mal, groaning as she tried to shake her head. “Audrey’s out for revenge. And all of Auradon is in danger.”

            “What should we do?” said Evie.

            “The only thing more powerful than the scepter is Hades’s ember,” said Mal.

            “Like he’s just gonna hand it over if we go back to the Isle,” said Jay.

            “And no one knows where his lair is,” said Evie.

            “I do,” said Celia. “He and my dad get along. Dealmakers, you know? I’ve done errands for him. The key is at my dad’s.”

            “You are coming,” said Mal.

            “But I just got here,” said Celia, sighing.

            “Mal?” said Dizzy, stepping into the doorway with Squeaky and Squirmy. They screamed when they saw Mal’s old face.

            “Dizzy,” said Evie, taking charge. “Stay here to take care of the twins. We’ll be right back, and everything will be just fine. Go inside.”

            “Let’s get out stuff and get out of here before Audrey causes more harm,” said (Y/N).

            “How bad is it?” said Mal as the boys ran to get their clothes.

            “You age beautifully,” said Evie.

            “I’d trust you enough to eat an apple you gave me,” said (Y/N) cheerfully.

            “Let’s get into something fabulous, though, to…add to the look,” said Evie.

            Mal nodded approvingly, and (Y/N) smiled.

l

            The four VKs drove their motorbikes towards a cliff that pointed directly at the Isle. They all had Isle outfits on once more. Celia sat on the back of Mal’s bike, and (Y/N) held onto Evie. They were wearing an Isle-themed outfit again.

            This time, it was a white top with a royal blue corset and halter overtop. Gold details covered the corset. Black and red pants hung around their waist, and they wore yellow combat boots to finish the look. (Y/N) had looked at the outfit, looked at the pirate-y details, and looked at Evie with an unimpressed expression.

            Evie had smiled brightly and stuffed them into the outfit anyways, and now they were about to wear it onto the Isle itself.

            At least I do look good, thought (Y/N).

            “Noble steed, proud and fair, you shall take us anywhere,” said Mal, eyes glowing.

            The bikes sped forward into the air. They splashed onto the water, and with green sparks, they drove over it to the Isle.

            The group drove quickly into an alley and got off their bikes. Mal’s young self was back, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

            “Hey, I’m me again,” she said, grinning.

            “Duh. Evil magic doesn’t work here,” said Celia, shrugging. “Kind of the point.”

            “Welcome back,” said Evie.

            “Thank you,” said Mal.

            Celia led the way towards her dad’s place, taking them to a metal door. She knocked on it with a complex rhythm. Inside, someone replied with another pattern. She gave a third. The door slid open. Grinning, Celia gestured for them to enter.

            Walking down some stairs, they found a Voodoo Arcade ran by Dr. Facilier. He brightened as soon as he saw Celia.

            “Hey!” he said.

            “Daddy!” She hugged him tightly.

            “There she is,” he chuckled. They did a little dance together and laughed. “Come here you little rascal.” Together, they walked off to another area of arcade.

            The VKs and (Y/N) walked around, looking at the games of the arcade. Carlos picked up a token and slotted it into a TV. It switched on, and he looked at the screen.

            “Alerts of the sleeping spell keep coming in as it spreads throughout Auradon,” said the reporter.

            “Uh, guys. Come look at this,” said Carlos, eyes widening.

            (Y/N), Jay, Evie, and Mal gathered around him and the television set.

            “There are rumors that Princess Aurora’s daughter, Audrey, is behind the sleeping spell,” said the reporter. “We’re trying to discover who is responsible for these vicious lies and which villain has perpetrated this evil.”

            They can’t even admit that a “hero” kid is doing something evil, thought (Y/N) incredulously. If Auradon ignored the truth, it was doomed.

            “We have an update. It’s what?” The reporter paled. “It’s moving this way? It’s moving this way.”

            Pink smoke drifted across the screen. The reported crashed to the ground, asleep, and the camera cracked against the ground as the cameraman fell asleep.

            “We have to get back to Auradon as soon as possible,” said (Y/N), eyes wide.

            “I’ve got the key,” said Celia.

            “Let’s go,” said Mal firmly.

            They walked out of the arcade and headed for their bikes. Pirates sat on the back of them, and Jay and Carlos narrowed their eyes.

            “Wow! Rookie mistake?” groaned Carlos.

            “Long time nay see,” teased Harry, grinning wildly.

            (Y/N)’s heart beat a bit quicker as they saw him.

            “Get off my bike, Hook,” snapped Jay as the VKs broke into a run.

            “Catch me if you can, Jay,” said Harry. He revved the engine and spun around the group. He parked behind them and grinned. His eyes settled on (Y/N). “'Ello, Highness. Want an exciting ride?”

            “Excuse me?” said (Y/N).

            “If you insist,” said Harry. He extended one arm, looped it around (Y/N)’s waist, and took off.

            (Y/N) let out an indignant and surprised yelp as they were pulled onto the bike. Harry winked at them, then grinned impishly at the VKs, and pressed down on the accelerator.

            As the bike roared to life and sped down the alley, (Y/N) grabbed onto Harry for dear life.

Happy Valentine’s

BTD/TPOF As Your Valentine

Strade

He’s surprised at first. You got him chocolates? Where did you even get them? The collar on your neck made it so you couldn’t leave, and you didn’t know your address.

He shrugs it off and starts eating the chocolates immediately. He almost didn’t see the note next to the heart-shaped box, but when he finally reads it.

He smiles, “Ah… I’m going to wreck them later.” He hums as he eats with his mouth full of chocolate.

“Ooh, this one’s filled with caramel.”

Lawrence

He’s starstruck

“H-Huh? Valentine’s Day? Uhm… thank you. I didn’t get you something though. I-Is that okay?”

He’s all red and nervous, constantly fighting with his hands as he stares down at the chocolates. He doesn’t want to eat them. They were a gift from you, and it would feel wrong to eat.

So he doesn’t… he never opens the box and lets it become a decoration piece, letting it rest up against a wall.

You make a reminder to yourself to just give him a card next year.

Ren

He’s so excited. He got you chocolates as well, fox themed.

He has a whole date planned with you. Movie time together is always fun with him, but he actually chose a romance movie to watch instead of the usual gore.

It’s a special day, one where you two can be together for as long as possible.

He’s also definitely going to give you head.

He’s between your legs with a knife against your skin, and he’s carving a heart into your upper thigh.

Rire

“Oh? You know, I have heard of a Valentine’s gift before, but I never thought I’d actually receive one.”

He’s gives you a small kiss. “I’ll make sure to keep this for as long as I live, darling.”

You and him then proceed to have a long night filled with red wine, a fine dinner, and love making.

You wake up the next day with bruises and bite marks littering your shoulders, back, thighs, and arms.

Sano

He got you flowers, roses with thorns. He gets down on one knee to give them to you.

He’s quite romantic, taking you out for dinner at a restaurant.

He bought you an outfit as well as one for himself. He wanted both of you to look as dashing as possible while you ate.

He’s holding your hand while you eat, making it quite hard to cut your steak.

Once you two reach home, you take a shower together then go to sleep.

But who says there weren’t naughty times occurring during that shower

Vincent

He’s astonished. He finds you laying in bed with new lingerie that he didn’t know you bought.

You don’t go on a date or anything fancy.

Just countless hours of breeding until all of your holes are leaking.

He does give you tons of aftercare, giving you a hot bath afterwards while he rubs you up and down with a towel.

Cain

He’s going to make you the nicest steak dinner in the whole world.

He’ll eat you out afterwards too. He gets two nice meals that day >;p

Lots of romantic shit. He gets in with you in your bathtub, makes you food, makes love to you.

All the romantic date cliches

Derek

You gave him chocolates? He’s not too grateful. You give him flowers? He doesn’t care.

“Oh? It’s Valentine’s Day? I didn’t know. Whoops, guess you aren’t getting anything ‘till next year.”

He doesn’t really care about the holiday, but he’ll still fuck you (he already does that practically every day though).

Celia

Just like Sano, she’ll take you out for dinner. She’ll wear a beautiful dress while she does; it’s black with velvet material, and it doesn’t show much skin.

She’ll bring you home afterwards and gladly sit on your face.

You shower with her after making love, and you both can’t stop touching each other.

You fall asleep naked while in each other’s arms and smiles on your faces

Mason

“Darlin? I’m sorry; I didn’t know it was today. I, uh… was planning to give you this on your birthday though.”

He hands you a wood-carved heart; although it’s not cute and stylistic. It’s an atomically accurate replica of a real heart but made out of wood.

He’s trying hard to be romantic. Just give him time. He’s used to only having murder on the mind.

You two will get chairs and sit by the lake, watching the sunset go down together as you hold hands and talk about your days.

[adelarsims]

in 1950s, celia was a femme fatale jazz/pop singer in a fancy place that was de-facto run by mafia and was their usual meeting place

the boss (by the way, an Alto) considered her his girlfriend, or his property, or whatever. just "his"

she had to play by his rules because she was powerless against him and was dragged into his business

she and caleb met each other on her birthday party, because she barely had any say in how she wants to spend this day and with who, only what items/favors she wants as gifts ("i'm giving you everything you could possibly want, what else can you ask for?"), the boss just threw a big party for her and she was supposed to look happy and be beautiful, and caleb was invited because the boss needed something from him

anyway, celia and caleb got to meet from time to time and there was an obvious spark, even though they couldn't have any romantic relationship, they found reasons to meet each other and had emotional connection

celia knew caleb as "george" by the way (i like to headcanon that caleb used the names maxis used for him before, "raylan lange" and "george wilson", at some point in his life)

the boss mysteriously died some time after celia confided in caleb about not being happy and wanting to be free from this life

(the taste of Alto's blood was more pleasant than his personality)

before boarding the ship to another continent, she offered him to go with her, to have a life with her, but he couldn't (a vampire thing... he can't stick around people for too long), so their goodbyes were bittersweet

for a second, in his head he hesitated and debated maybe going with her for at least a few years and then disappearing or faking his death, but he knew she deserved a proper closure and turning the page, not a grief and wasted years of her life that are limited

he kept an eye on her throughout her life until her peaceful death at the age of 84, and she had a good life, a loving husband, two kids

[anatheyma]

btd/tpof characters don't seem to have official birthdays so i wanna share my zodiac sign hcs

(i'm not an expert in astrology this is just for fun)

strade: sagittarius

this is a bit awkward to explain since i'm a sagittarius myself. i don't relate to him, but he definitely has to be a fire sign and this one seemed the most fitting out of the three. first of all sagittarians are considered lively, passionate, outgoing and charming - traits that i think fit strade's description. he's carefree and fun-loving i guess you could say, but also intelligent in a way, or at least has a good technical information. gato has mentioned that strade has a fear of being limited or locked up which goes well with the thing sagittarians have with their freedom.

lawrence: capricorn

now that is a capricorn man if i've ever seen one. they're described as critical, sensitive and cautious, struggling with letting people in. capricorns are happy being on their own and fall in love slowly, they have to take time to understand you at first. it's clear that lawrence doesn't trust people easily. to me it seems like he wants to be in control of things, too. on surface level, those antlers remind me of the symbolized mythological creature of capricornus and regardless of his love for plants, i associate lawrence with snowy forests instead of green. (capricorns are born december 22 - january 19)

ren: libra

i'm not only saying this because i tend to be head over heels for libras okay let me tell you something; libras are often extroverted and sweet. they avoid conflict which is why they tend to be people-pleasers and we know ren is one. even when he's older in tpof, you can kind of call him out for not making his own decisions, but instead relying on the chat's suggestions and opinions. maybe he struggles with making them himself... and what's the biggest libra stereotype again? yeah, exactly that. librans are ruled by venus, the goddess of love, so they adore beautiful things. of course he'd want to dress you up all pretty for the live streams <3

mason: taurus

i admit i haven't actually diven that deep into this character yet, but right off the bat he strikes me as an earth sign. taureans love to relax in serene, bucolic environments, which i guess you could call his cabin in the woods. they're also built for endurance and tasks requiring concentration and determination, traits that i assume must be helpful when hunting. mason comes off as resourceful and tough, just like taureans.

celia: virgo

my beloved celia... like virgos, she's hardworking and intelligent, but also uptight and easily frustrated. understandably so, imagine being married to a man when you could run away with me 🙄 anyway, they're also perfectionists at heart and she'd probably enjoy training you with diligent and consistent practice, you're her little mouse after all. oh, and virgo rules the digestive system. hand over those donuts, ma'am!

derek: leo

bet you thought i'd say scorpio because of his tattoo? nah, he has leo energy. he's confident - even arrogant - and fits the leo description of both luxury-loving and drama-loving. leos love to lead, be admired and receive praise and respect of others. i imagine derek's like that due to possible daddy issues. sorry to come for him like that. my opinion might be completely based due to growing up with a couple of brats from upper middle class families who happened to be leos.

magnus protocols episode 14 recap

really i should be doing my work rn but idk i'm tortured enough i can't lose this too

"pet project" makes me afraid who are we turning into an animal

alice and celia bonding over sam is actually really sweet i was worried it would tear them apart

oh NO. alice did not think they were going out again

i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back oh my god alice. alice and sam and celia and AGFYUAGFSUFSAGUFIYASFYUGHBHGAGYSH

shedding tears what was THAT. alice honey no..

now where the fuck is gwen. again.

wait ok it said 01.08 was the date do they do month.day or day.month because if its day.month thats my birthday :]

oh i don't like that i just got itchy immediately into the statement

the HORRORS. i actually really love snakes though like i really hope this doesn't fuck me up

no u were real for that i would not go out there that is the police's problem not mine

ok the shopkeeper is full of snakes and also vaguely a snake so i was kind of right i suppose. that doesn't make me happy i don't think.

oh no theyre in the walls oh my god

the INSTITUTE oh good lord. oh good lord. hi gwenny dear <3

hey sam let's chill w/ the anger and perhaps not get involved in The Horrors.

[silverstar-2005]

Ep 21 spoilers

Soooo

did the Eye just save Gwen from death??? And is the eye looking for something because that's the vibe I got from the conversation with inksoul

So could it be looking for, oh I dunno, AN AVATAR? Like Jon, in the computers?

Poor Gwen tho, getting absolutely traumatized :((

(Lena was worried for gwen, she must know that something is wrong)

Also when I heard Alice speak I thought she had turned into a villain or smth but she's clearly starting to believe that something is going on. Colin is paranoid (and alive, unlike I previously thought whoops) and I feel like Alice doesn't want the same for Sam. She's scared but if she keeps snooping around, she'll definitely get in trouble :/

And then, what the heck is up with Celia, who allegedly has trouble with immigration. Yeah...that's what universe jumping causes I suppose

So I'm SUPER happy the podcast started again, the season 1 final actually came out on my birthday heh. But I can't wait for next week!!

[hazellevessque]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GIRLS ROSALIND AND CELIA LANG!!

[writingamongther0ses]

In the corner, at their usual table, was a head of familiar blonde hair.

Celia's heart, against her better judgement, skipped a beat. She took a deep breath, pushed it away, and walked over. Edward already had about three cats around him- one on his lap, one messing with his shoelaces, and one small kitten clambering up his shirt to fuss with his hair.

"...Have a favorite?"

Back when things were better, Edward would be dramatic, wailing about how dare she make him pick a favorite. Now, he jolted, revealing that he was holding his phone, pulled up on what looked to be a website about swords. He glanced at her and then gestured to the one now sprawled on his shoulder. "Her name is Mochi," he said.

Celia didn't fail to notice that the kitten with dark brown fur shared a bit of a resemblance to his successor.

"Hello, Mochi," she said, offering her hand.

Mochi sniffed at it and then jumped, sending both her and him scrambling to catch the small thing. Mochi didn't seem to care, giving a happy little mewl in Celia's hands. She bit back the urge to have a heart attack, instead settling across from Edward. She also had to bit back the urge to say something about Mohila, instead choosing "I didn't know you liked swords?"

"I was looking for a birthday gift for Amarya," Edward admitted, turning off his phone. "I remembered that you told me once that teenage girls loved swords."

"All women want a sword, deep down," Celia sniffed. That was an exaggeration, of course, but most people in Celia's network would love a sword.
