tell us about an oc u never give the spotlight
Oh hmmm.... which OC do I never give the spotlight.... I feel like Sorcerer fits the bill the best? Either him or Beast lol
Anyway, Sorcerer. I have many feelings about him. He is kinda hard to write, since he acts different depending on who he is interacting with, and none of them are his true self, since he has sold his soul to the Void for power.
The true Sorcerer is a pessimistic and weak man, that served as a court sorcerer to a King, using dark curses to prevent the Kings rivals from rising to power. This of course led to rumors of his dark nature among the common folk, and Sorcerer being shunned by those around him. That said, despite his dour personality, he was always trying his best, and lived an unremarkable and uneventful life.
A lot of stuff happened, which I won't go into right now (he fell in love and that got complicated FAST), and Sorcerer sold his soul to the Void to gain power to show up one of the most important people in his life. This however forced his soul into the Void, leaving behind nothing but a "reflection" of what he was. Sorcerer could no longer feel joy, sadness or any other emotion. Great for mental health. That said, he is also immune to all kinds of damage, so that's nice.
Due to his new, non-existant nature, Sorcerer becomes very influenced by how others percieve him, so the rumors of him being an evil wizard came true. Some fun ways this plays out: Haleph sees someone he can be miserable with, so Sorcerer is bound to lament his fate when around the undead. Beast thinks Sorcerer is a haughty, "better than you" type, so Sorcerer acts very arrogant around her. Hero does not understand what Sorcerer is on about, but she "knows" he's cruel and callous, which is why Sorcerer starts acting like a crazy madman when around Hero.
The only one who can see through this, is Mage, because he grew up surrounded by the tricks of the forest spirits, so he can see the true nature beneath the illusion. Making Mage the second person to be able to see the true Sorcerer. The first one was his love, mentioned above. This might play into how the gang defeats him, hehehe....
That's the short of his deal. I personally find him really interesting and love to think about him and the tragedy of his character, but I find it really hard to write for him...

One Day p1
Tumblr media
Alive!Luke x Fem!Reader Modern AU Word Count: 2.6k A/n: hehehe here’s the first part! I have it mostly planned out, there should be 3-4 parts! Lmk what you think! Summary: A shy girl is used to floating under the radar, keeping to herself most of the time, all was well until an opportunity fell into her lap, but what will these new people bring with them?
You were really good at staying right under everyone's radar at Los Feliz. You knew everyone, everyone knew you, but you didn’t have anything more than just a surface relationship with your classmates. You didn’t mind that, it was harder to get hurt this way. You got accepted to the Performing Arts High School with your ability to dance, but have always found your real talent lies within your visual art. Whether you were using paints, pencils, or a pen, you loved the way that your hand flew over the paper and created an image that represented your many different emotions.
In a way it made sense how you loved both dance and drawing, both sharing the flowing of movements to express things that words cannot. It was easier for you to express your emotions and thoughts in these mediums since social connection was hard for you. You had tried it once, really connecting with a person, but it ended up coming back and hurting you, causing you to shut down, so you weren't in a rush to try again any time soon. You floated down the hallways with ease, only having to stop at your locker to grab the remaining textbooks you need for the next few classes. While you were stopped you heard your name called from across the hallway, looking up to see Julie raising her hand in a small wave. “Hey, (y/n)! I like your top!” She came to a stop by your locker smiling. “Thanks! It was my moms, she just found this box of old clothes from when she was in school, this one just really stuck out to me.” You smiled down at yourself and looked back up at the girl to see three boys approaching. You felt heat subtly rise to your cheeks and you tried to focus your eyes on Julie. “Hey Jules, you ready to go to class?” Luke spoke as soon as they reached her side, sending you a nod of acknowledgement when he noticed you standing in front of them. Alex and Reggie both raised their hands with small waves in greeting to you. You smiled in return and turned back to close your locker, swinging your backpack on in the process. “Well, I gotta get to class too, see ya around.” You smiled back at the group and heard Julie call after you. “See you in Art!” You turned slightly and waved in return. Julie and you were pretty decent friends, you talked to her more than anyone else at the school, she had a good balance of how to get to know you without pushing you. You had met the boys a few times in passing, much like the previous occurrence, them not really speaking much more than a ‘hello’ here and there. There was something about Luke though, he never failed to send a storm of butterflies loose in your stomach. He probably didn’t even remember your name, but you could remember all the details of his face, not in a weird way, just in an artistic way, ya know? He had such a coolness about him, like he could totally embarrass himself but brush it off like it was nothing, like he meant to do it even. You thought you were getting better with your anxiety around people, but as soon as that boy was in front of you, it seemed as if your brain forgot how to function. You shook the boy from your thoughts as you continued through your day, classes went by like they typically do, all your general classes like math and english were in the first half of the day, the second half being taken by your dance class and then art. It was simple to say that you much preferred the second half of classes. In dance you went about as normal, running through a few routines and while wrapping up your teacher mentioned something about a new project that would be announced tomorrow. After changing you made your way to your final class where Julie had already arrived and claimed a table for the two of you. “Hi!” she smiled up at you. “Hi! How were your classes today?” You replied, starting a conversation that you hoped would carry throughout the class. You really did like talking with Julie, she was so sweet and really made you feel like she wanted to get to know you. The first day of class she noticed you were sitting alone and she took this as an opportunity to introduce herself, commenting on the particular band tee you had on, being able to strike up a conversation instantly. You admired her for this, the confidence she had when walking in a room was just astounding to you. The two of you went about the class in a way that you similarly would, talking about this and that while sketching away in your respective books, her only pausing to write ideas in her song notebook when an idea would hit. The class you were in didn’t have many actual assignments, just that you needed around 3 small pieces turned in periodically and one larger one for your final at the end of the semester, it made it an easy free flowing environment where there wasn’t too much pressure to stress on any one thing. Before you knew it the ding of the bell was going off overhead and you and Julie started packing up your things, she quickened her pace when she saw the boys waiting at the door for her. “You guys have practice today?” You giggled at her rushed movements. “Yeah,” she laughed as she zipped her bag closed, “Luke and I just finished up a new song too so I’m really excited to get back to the garage to figure out the music behind it.” She smiled up at you and you returned the affection. “Well don’t let me hold you up! Hope it all goes well! See you tomorrow!” You waved to the girl as she ran to the door, only pausing to throw a wave back at you. You laughed and shook your head at the girls' antics and went about your day as usual, starting your walk back home, you didn’t live too far and enjoyed the fresh air and time to recollect after the school day. After getting home you grabbed a quick snack and retreated to your room to finish a sketch that you had been working on in class today. Digging through your bag your heart rate increased when you pulled the red covered book to see the top covered in multiple stickers, this wasn’t your book, it was Julies song book, meaning she was currently in possession of your sketchbook. She must have grabbed yours on mistake when she was packing up quickly. You lightly sighed as you pulled out your phone to text her about the accidental switch-up. She replied instantly just realizing the mistake herself, then invited you over to switch them back and possibly hear some of the songs they were working on, looking for an outsider's opinion. You hesitated in saying yes, did you really need your book back that bad? Sighing, you sent back an okay and asked for an address, as nervous as you were to hang around the guys, more specifically Luke, you remembered how excited Julie was to go over the new song, the one that was probably sitting in the book you were holding in your hands. You threw on a light jacket and grabbed your backpack, for reasons unexplainable to you it just always just felt safer to walk around with a backpack on, and you were on your way to Julies. You could feel your nerves rising with each step you took towards her house, by the time you stood at the end of her driveway you felt like your heart was in your throat. “Calm down, (y/n), it’s just a little hangout to get your book back and hear a few songs, no biggie, nothing to fret about at all.” you whispered to yourself, taking one last deep breath before continuing your walk up her driveway. You had just come into view from the garage when you heard Julie calling out your name. “(Y/n)! How was your walk?” Julie ran out to meet you, now walking beside you into the garage. “It was good! You actually live closer to me than I thought, it was only like a 15 minute walk,” you smiled at her and you continued the small talk until you looked up and met eyes with the brunette guitarist. “(Y/n), these are the guys, Alex, Reggie and Luke,” she introduced them to you and you raised your hand in a wave. “Yeah, i’ve seen you guys perform before, you’re all really good!” you smiled and met each of their gazes. “Thanks! And that was all our old stuff, just wait until you hear what we have coming, um..” Luke stuttered realizing he didn’t know your name. You went to say it but Alex beat you to it. “(Y/n) you idiot,” he hit the back of Luke's head, while rolling his eyes. A blush rose to Luke’s face and he laughed it off. “I-I knew that, I-I just-” “You’re at the school for dance right?” Alex spoke again, interrupting and trying to take the attention off of the stuttering Luke. You smiled and nodded. “Yeah! I’m on a dance scholarship, so that's my main focus but my second is visual art, which reminds me,” You take your backpack off and pull out Julies song book, “here’s this!” She smiles and takes it from you. “Ugh thanks so much, I don’t know what I would have done if I lost this, Reggie can you grab her sketchbook? It’s on the piano!” Julie opened her book and smiled looking at the page. “Oh wow,” you heard Reggie mutter causing everyone to turn to him, “(y/n) this stuff is like, really good.” You blushed and looked down at your feet, you’ve never been good at accepting compliments. “Dude, boundaries!” Julie muttered reaching for the book, but Luke got to it first, taking his own turn looking through the pages. Your heart jumped when he started smiling at the pages he was flipping through, you didn’t have anything in there that you kept hidden, it was just that no one had ever gone through your work before. “You have so many different styles, this one is like a cartoon, but then the next one is like hyper realistic.” Luke looks up to make eye contact and you felt a blush rise to your cheeks. Alex took the second of him being distracted to pull the book away from him and hand it back to you. “I’m sorry for them, they still haven’t figured out what it means to respect someone's privacy.” He narrowed his eyes at his two bandmates. “You know,” you opened the book in your hands to search for a particular page, “I actually have something of each of you individually. I sketched them out the night after I saw one of your guys’ gigs.” You scrunch your face in concentration, you feel everyone rush to stand behind you when you finally find it. You look around at them to take in their reactions, their eyes were all glued to the papers you were displaying in front of you, Reggies mouth falling open. “Oh! Is this why you asked for the pictures my dad took of that night?” Julie looked up at you. “Yeah, I wanted to be able to add the details of everyone's chosen instruments and get some added information on where the highlights were from the lights,” you looked at each of their faces again and made a rash decision to gently tear the pages from your book, handing them to each respective person. Each person held them gently in their hands, then looked up to you in amazement. You just shrugged your shoulders in response, not knowing what else to say. “Well,” you looked out the window and saw the setting sun, “I better start my walk back to my house, it’s getting dark and I wanna get back before that happens. Enjoy the pictures guys!” You smile and turn to walk away, all the band still shocked to silence. “She’s never torn a page from her book before,” you hear Julie tell the boys as you walk further down the driveway, smiling to yourself. It was true, you never pull pages from your sketchbook, not this one at least, it was the better quality of all the other ones you had. You typically just used the less expensive books for class, you go through all the pages so quickly you didn’t want to waste the one’s in your higher quality notebook for the rough sketches, but the pages that you drew the band on were in the higher quality notebook, you had taken the time to really get them right, and they turned out fantastic. Your mother had always told you to spread joy where you can, and after seeing all their faces you knew that it was only right to let them have the pages that they were looking at. You arrived home and couldn’t wipe the smile off your face, there might be something there with them, an opportunity to make new friends, to open up. This idea makes you both nervous and excited, you let these thoughts and ideas later lull you to sleep. --- The next day at school you were walking to your locker when Julie caught your eye, she was waiting in her phone by your locker door. You would usually see her in passing in the mornings, but this is new. “Hey Julie, what’s up?” You greet the curly haired girl at your locker. “Hey (y/n)! Not much really, just watched to catch you this morning and run an idea past you…” She smiles and looks around her before returning her gaze back to you. “Okay? Is everything alright? You seem nervous,” you giggled at her antics and went back to putting the combination into your locker. “Yeah, yeah, I just know you take a while to open up and get close with new people, and I don’t wanna rush you into anything you aren’t ready for, but the boys and I were wondering if-” She gets cut off by a yell from down the hallway. “JULIE! HAVE YOU ASKED HER YET?” You turn to see all three boys running towards you, Julie facepalming at Reggies yell. “Geez Reg, she literally just got here. There's no need to yell,” Julie rolls her eyes at them and looks back to you. “Anyways, we were wondering if you wanted to make more designs and stuff for the band, like for posters and maybe album art one day.” She smiles at you after finishing. “You-you want me to… really?” Your eyes widen in shock. “Yeah! We all really like what you did with those portraits, and you’re pretty chill letting us keep them and all, we want you to be a part of our band, even if it isn’t you on stage with us, you’ll keep things looking cool.” Luke says as he leans against the lockers beside you. “Plus, then you’ll be able to hang out with us more!” Reggie pipes in. They all look at each other then back at you. “So,” Alex smiles at you, “What do ya think?” A million thoughts fly through your mind at once, they really want you to hang out with them more? They liked what you did? You looked at them all, looking back at you, and smiled. “I’d love to.”

I know what you did last summer...Hey alex, i got something for you. How would those in the inquisitor's circle react to being called handsome/beautiful out of the blue? Before and or after relationship? Thanks
Inquisitor’s circle being complimented, before/after relationship? Thank you for the ask and I don’t know what you mean by that. Don’t talk to me or my Cabot ever again. (Kidding)
-LordLex
Cullen (Before)
-“Oh, uh, thank you.”
-Doesn’t really know how to take this
-Just thanks you and continues on with his duties
-Not sure why he’s being complimented but is thankful that it’s more sophisticated than most of the ‘compliments’ he receives from Sera
(After)
-“Please, if anyone should be receiving compliments, it’s you.”
-Not the most poetic, but he tells you exactly what he thinks.
-Still not used to it but tries his best to return the compliments.
-The soldiers can tell when you’ve given him a compliment because his face is slightly flushed after talking to you
Josephine (Before)
-“Thank you, Inquisitor! And might I return the kind words and say that you are looking well.”
-Something she’s been through, she’s basically on autopilot
-She accepts it with respect and returns it all the same
-Makes her day to get a compliment from the Inquisitor
(After)
-“You always seem to find the most poetic way to say what you’re thinking.”
-She takes the compliments to heart
-Can always find a new thing to compliment you about, the way your eyes shine or how fluid your motions are
-Of course, that doesn’t stop her from beaming all day
Solas (Before)
-“Thank you. It is much appreciated, Inquisitor.”
-Don't fill the Egg’s head. It’ll just make him more powerful
-Besides that, is happy that someone appreciates him
-Let’s be honest, you get most of his approval by complimenting him on what a big nerd expert he is
(After)
-“You grace me with your words too often, Vhenan. Though, more words could be said about you, truly describing in detail your perfection.”
-This man’s main goal is to make you a flustered mess, and that’s only with complimenting you.
-He will not let you out-compliment him, for every comment you give, he gives you 3 of them.
-You’d think he’d run out of things to say about you. So did Dorian but he gave up listening to your conversation a LONG time ago.
Cassandra (Before)
-“I...Thank you, friend. But what is the purpose of this conversation?”
-Very suspicious as to why you’re complimenting her. Thinks Varric put you up to it.
-Takes a while, but once she knows your true intentions, she does appreciate it
-Might take her a bit to compliment you back, usually about how well of a fighter or leader you are
(After)
-“You shouldn’t say such things out loud for anyone to hear! I’d rather not have Varric quoting you!”
-Very flustered, tries to put her hands over your mouth if you continue
-But when you two are alone, she listens so intently to the words you weave together, speaking of her
-She can only tell you how amazing and wonderful you are, and she means it with all her heart
The Iron Bull (Before)
-“Thanks, boss. You’re not so bad yourself.”
-Man will take anything, even compliments. Gets them constantly by certain admirers
-Will give an equally meaningful compliment back to you
-Sometimes, it’s followed up by a more in-depth detail or how to make it better
-(“Cassasndra, about your fighting-”
“Not again.”)
(After)
-“You know, a compliment like that from anyone else I would’ve just taken it and continued. But from you, kadan? Makes a man ten times stronger.”
-Honestly seems like with every compliment you give him, the worst his enemies have it against him.
-Does not hold back on the compliments, either, so just be ready for when you tell him he looks nice that he returns it with how nice you look being tied up.
-Though it does become a problem when your complimenting him in front of his children the Chargers
-(“Oy, boss! Have I told ya how nice your eyes are, too?” 
“Keep it up, Krem, and you’ll see how nice my swinging arm is.”)
Dorian (Before)
-“Usually nice words are followed up with a favor or a spiteful comment. Which is it this time?”
-After the initial thought that you might be sassing him, he is all ABOUT the compliments
-Agrees full heartedly with each one, with some minor details that he expects you to remember
-Want to make him really appreciate them? Compliment him about his knowledge. Boy has got some big brains
(After)
-“Oh my, whatever will people say about such words you use for me? Amatus, please, I can only take so much kindness.”
-He’s a sarcastic little- but he really does melt whenever you talk about him, complimenting him
-Especially if you start to talk about the little details you see: how his mustache is brushed so perfectly that not one hair can be found out of place, or how enraptured he become when speaking of a subject he finds fascinating
-Not gonna stop him from doing the same but most of the time leads to Solas calling up to you two to ‘get a room’
Sera (Before)
-“Right, ok. What the hell is this?”
-Takes a few times to explain because this is not something Sera is used to
-Thinks your pulling her leg for the most part, doesn’t know how to respond
-When she does, it’s something along the lines of ‘You stabbed that person pretty good’
(After)
-“Heheh! You think that’s nice, Inky? Well, let’s talk about that one time in bed when we-”
-Somebody stop her, please
-Doesn’t matter where you are, who you’re with or what you’re doing. If you compliment this woman, she’s going to ‘attempt’ by talking about everything
-And I mean EVERYTHING. She’s not leaving any details out
Blackwall (Before)
-“What’s all this? I really don’t deserve this praise. But...thank you.”
-Take the nice words, Blackwall, please
-Tries to downplay it, pushes it off or away. This man believes himself to not be good enough for these words
-Stop, you’ll overwhelm him with your appreciation
(After)
-“Thank you, love. The only thing I can say to that is you are stunning as ever.”
-Still not used to it, but coming from you? Worth it
-Truly knowing him and still complimenting him? He’s even more in love than he was from the start
-This is something he can get used to
Sorry for long post! Hope you enjoy!

what are you doing new year’s eve?
So this final fic of 2020 is dedicated to @odd-birds-and-booksellers for multiple reasons. Firstly she’s been my first friend in the Jolex fandom and one of the reasons the group chat exists. Despite how much we make fun of each other she’s truly become one of my favorite people (she knew I was pregnant approximately 15 seconds after I peed on a stick and hours before anyone else) and I wouldn’t have stuck around here without her.
Secondly it’s dedicated to her because my final fic for the year is an ode to the reason I’m in this fandom in the first place and the series she keeps begging me to write for. That’s right y’all, I’m posting a piece for my “It’s Nothing Funny Just to Talk/Little Pieces of You” universe! (she thought I was gonna kill someone... hehehe)
I hope y’all enjoy this cute and fluffy one shot! Thank you all for reading, commenting, and encouraging me to write this year!
also one million anons asked me for a birth fic... well here it kinda is
xoxo Nina
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
Jo was fine, really she was. She blamed being two weeks from her due date for the state of discomfort she found herself in. She’d been experiencing Braxton Hicks for almost a month already (something Alex loved to point out that he could always see as it happened, much to Jo’s annoyance) so the tightening of her abdomen wasn’t a new feeling. What was new was the aching in her back and hips that had prompted her to take a long steamy shower in an attempt to ease a bit of the pain and discomfort she felt.
The water had helped a bit, but all Jo really wanted was for Alex to rub her back and hold her while she napped. He had asked before he left for work if she was alright, but Jo had assured him she was fine. New Year’s Eve was always a long night for him at work with an influx of teenagers hurt by firework accidents or drunken mishaps. She has reminded him that she wasn’t due for two weeks and she would make it through one night without him there. Now though, Jo was regretting her decision as she struggled to get comfortable on their couch, her back aching as she shifted back and forth. 
“Hoooooly shit,” Jo gripped the armrest of the couch tightly as she attempted to sit up, a roaring pain ripping through her stomach as she desperately tried to get air into her lungs. The feeling passed after a moment, letting her take a deep breath as she settled one hand onto her stomach. “I need you to calm down in there, please and thank you.” Her phone chose that moment to ding loudly, a text from Alex popping up as she reached for her phone.
Thursday 4:39 PM
How are my girls doing?
Thursday 4:41 PM
all good over here :)
Deciding not to mention her pain, Jo set her phone aside and went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. Whenever her Braxton Hicks got bad Alex would always tell her it was because she was dehydrated. He was usually right, though she’d never admit it, but the water usually calmed down the sensations flowing through her body. 
Slowly making her way to the kitchen, Jo grabbed a glass and sipped on the water as she tried to even her breathing. Her mind was already racing, heart pounding as she tried to keep her composure. She’d only had one bad spout of pain, it could be a fluke or a pulled muscle for all she knew. 
The searing pain she’d felt only minutes before returned again, the glass in her hands slipping from her fingers as a pained groan left her. Watching the water and glass splatter across the counter top, Jo realized how serious her pain was. Her eyes flitted to the clock, noting it was just hitting 5 PM. Alex would be home at 11, she would hold out as long as she could until then. 
-
Thursday 6:32 PM
Want me to grab a late dinner for us? Figure you’ll still be up anyways. 
Alex stared down at the text he’d sent almost 20 minutes earlier as if his staring would prompt a response from his wife. Logically he knew she was probably sleeping, but he’d been worried about her all day. She’d barely slept the night before and her back had been hurting for almost two days now. He wasn’t stupid he’d done enough rounds on OB to know that Jo was probably getting close to going into labor, a thought that both excited and terrified him. Erring on the side of caution, he dialed Jo’s number and waited for her to answer. 
“Hi you’ve reached Josephine Karev! I’m probably teaching right now so leave a message after the beep!”
“Hey babe, call me back whenever you can. Love you.”
Hanging up the phone and grumbling to himself, Alex begrudgingly turned back to his patient files. He had a lot of work to do, but his mind was currently occupied worrying about his wife and their unborn daughter. 
-
“Oh shit… oh shit no no no,” Jo’s panicked cries echoed across the empty loft as another contraction made its way through her stomach, her body curling in on itself as she struggled to lean against the couch. A glance at the clock in the kitchen told her it was only 7:19 meaning Alex wouldn’t be home for a few more hours. 
She knew she couldn’t last that long, her contractions were steadily growing closer together and more painful. Reaching for her phone, Jo sent off a quick text before focusing her attention on breathing through the steady flow of contractions now racking her body. 
Thursday 7:21 PM
in labor, moving fast. need drugs and husband. 
-
It was nearing 8 PM and Alex still hadn’t heard from Jo for the last three hours. He’d called twice to no answer and his texts were sent but not read. He was ready to jump in the car and rush home to check on her when someone called out his name. 
“Alex!”
Jackson Avery was jogging towards him, dressed in a button up and slacks with a six month old Harriet on his hip. He’d been talking about his mom’s New Year’s Eve party all week, so Alex was shocked to see him there. 
“Hey man, you skipping out on the party,” Alex searched Jackson’s serious expression for a moment, reading his best friend's face easily and letting a sigh out. “Where is she?” 
“April took her up to L&D while I came to find you. She was screaming at me the whole drive here,” Jackson smirked at Alex as they walked down the halls. “I’m sure you’re in for a fun night.”
Thanking Jackson, Alex headed towards the maternity ward with a sense of urgency. He knew if Jo had been worried enough to call April that she was probably pretty far along in her labor. Spotting the red head down the hall, he picked up his pace and stopped in front of her. 
“They’re just checking her out now, her contractions have been coming every three and half minutes but I think they’re speeding up,” April gave Alex a small smile as she made to leave. “She’s been asking for you the whole time.”
“Thanks April.”
“It’s the least I could do. When I was in labor she sat with me while Jackson was in surgery despite the fact that she was throwing up every twenty minutes from her morning sickness,” April shrugged. “Besides if I didn’t go she probably would’ve given birth on your couch.”
Alex chuckled, his hand rubbing his neck nervously, “I’ll text you guys when she’s here, thanks again.”
April left then, Alex taking a breath before entering the room that April had just left. Jo was laid in bed, eyes closed and curled in on herself as she struggled through a contraction. Surging forward Alex placed one hand on Jo’s back as the other moved to run through her hair. She instantly relaxed at his touch, eyes popping open to meet his. 
“I was wondering why you weren’t answering my texts,” Alex leaned down to press a kiss against her forehead. “You need anything? Water, ice chips, hard drugs?” 
Jo shook her head, breathing through the end of her contraction before speaking again, “No they said I’m too far along for an epidural. I just have to suffer until she gets here. My water broke as soon as I walked into the hospital, I think she knew you were waiting.”
Eyeing the monitor tracking her contractions, Alex realized that she was nearing the end of her labor, “You should’ve called me, I could’ve come to get you.”
“Doesn’t matter, I’m here now,” Jo leaned against Alex’s hand as she struggled to pull a breath in. “Ow ow ow ow, holy shit mother-”
Jo’s next words were silenced as she pressed her face against Alex’s chest, fists clenched against the bed rail as her body tensed once more. Keeping his eyes on her monitor, Alex kept his fingers running through Jo’s hair in an attempt to comfort her, “Breathe baby, it’s okay just breathe.”
Once she finally took a deep breath Jo relaxed in Alex’s hold, her voice alarmingly calm as she spoke, “I really need to push. Like right now.”
“Let me get the doctor, just hold on a minute babe,” Alex couldn’t help the wide grin he sported as he left Jo’s side to call down the hallway for her doctor. In just a little while they were going to be parents… 
-
“5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Happy New Year!”
The TV played softly in the background as fireworks lit up the dim hospital room but Alex and Jo weren’t paying attention to the celebration of the new year. Both had their eyes firmly locked on the sleeping bundle in Jo’s arms, light curls peeking out of the pink hat on her head as her lips pursed in her sleep. 
“You do that when you’re sleeping,” Alex pointed out as he ran his finger down his daughter’s cheek. “You look like a fish, it’s kinda funny that she’s already doing it.” “She’s not even three hours old and you’re comparing her to a fish,” Jo chuckled as she looked from her daughter to her husband. “She needs a name still.”
“How about Goldie,” Alex’s suggestion earned him a slap on the arm from Jo, a laugh escaping him as she did so. “I was kidding! What about the one you really liked?” Eyeing her daughter as if testing out the name she’d brought up so many months ago, a grin settled on Jo’s face, “I like it. Annabeth Brooke Karev.”
“Glad we finally decided on that, I thought you were never going to choose,” Alex pressed a kiss to Jo’s lips, then another to the top of Annie’s head. “Happy New Year Annie.”
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly 12 o'clock, midnight
Welcoming in the New Year, New Year's Eve

the selby roses?
OMG THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TALK ABOUT MY KIDS *sends a million heart emojis but alas I am on desktop* // Tagging @dustyp-rose and @princess-of-france because they have been so supportive with this project! (also if anyone else wants to be tagged for Selby Roses stuff, let me know!) 
❤ Favorite Male: I love all of my boys so much, but both Arthur and Alex have a special place in my heart. Arthur is from the original Lady Windermere’s Fan play, but I thought it would be funny to give him a brother who is his exact opposite, and thus Alex was born. I love how they learn from one another; Arthur knows all about how to follow the rules and Alex is a pro at breaking them; in this society, there’s value to both. They’re just a joy to write for. ❤ Favorite Female: Laura! She’s also known as Lady Plymdale in Lady Windermere’s Fan, and it was sort of hinted at in that play that she and Dumby have always had a thing for one another but it obviously never worked out (she’s married, but seems to despise her husband), so I developed that into her story. She loves him and appreciates his lack of care for society. He loves her and LOVES her brilliant mind. But he’s a starving poet trying to make his way through the world. Her family is knee-deep in debt and a rich suitor has thrown himself down at her feet. There’s always a spark of tragedy in all of these Wilde comedies (which I find fascinating). ❤ Favorite Pairing: Alex + Emma (otp: like a midsummer night’s dream) or George + Laura (otp: what a mystery you are) // I’ve explained a bit about George and Laura up above, but Alex and Emma are just a kickass couple. Both of those characters are of my design (the Duchess’s line in LWF “a mother who doesn’t part with a daughter every season has no real affection” gave me the inspiration to give her six charming, smart, beautiful, amazing daughters - two of which are in The Selby Roses: Emma and Ida. Meanwhile, her only son Henry, also in The Selby Roses, is a total disaster). Alex and Emma’s teenage antics are total foils to Arthur and Margaret’s sense of propriety, and it’s got me thinking a lot about how teenagers are ‘meant to be having fun’ but also are expected to have their lives together. Mistakes have a double standard, and it’s so fun to write both sides of it. ❤ Least Favorite Character: Cecil has been pretty difficult to write for. He’s the wittiest character in Lady Windermere’s Fan, but there’s also something absolutely deplorable about him. He latches to his youth and will not hesitate to turn his nose up to those a generation above him. In modern terms, he totally strikes me as being right-wing, which might explain why he and Arthur are such good friends (not that Arthur strikes me as incredibly right-wing, but he is certainly a traditionalist - in the original play, Arthur lets Cecil address him by first name, instead of by “Windermere”). It also makes things complicated when he’s interacting with Henry, who is very liberal. ❤ who’s most like me: George! We’ve both got that writer angst hehehe. I’ve also got a lot in common with Arthur. ❤ most attractive: my fancast for Alex is Anthony Boyle, and my fancast for George is Jack Farthing - I adore them both! ❤ three more characters that I like: I love Henry so much, like what a mess but also he’s trying his best! Margaret is an absolute angel, and the Duchess is so fun to write for! 
Thank you so much!!!

3x18 Reaction / Commentary
Anxious feeling of imminent doom in my gut? Check. Skipping breakfast in favor of running to my laptop like a starving person? Check. Chances of surviving this episode with my sanity intact? Uhhh.... Well here goes nothing.
But one more thing before we get started (Does anyone wanna get out? Yeah, me!!!! Okay sorry.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Who's this mysterious “Alex” person?? A new player on the board???
Alright alright, I'm stalling, I know. It's weird, last week couldn't pass quick enough but now I really don't wanna click the play button... okay anyway you're probably not here to read my angsting, so. Deep breath and here goes.
Tumblr media
In terms of putting my nerves at ease this is working out pretty good. I love Becky, okay, and her sibling ship with Simon and the Sneak Peek made me real happy and I can't wait to see more of those two together (especially considering this'll probably be her last appearance on the show). So, yeah Team Lewis! (Also that comment about them and Clary never missing a Halloween together? I need all the kid fics!!!)
Tumblr media
Lol dude I mean you literally died for knowing about it, but sure, make an understatement XD Also, “all the way from Florida”??? Last thing I knew about her she was lying in a hospital bed a week ago (aka 3A)? When did she get released? And relocated? I missed that???
Tumblr media
:D :D :D <3<3<3
Tumblr media
Queen Izzy :))))))) btw those kids had seriously lacking survival skills if you ask me. That wasn't normal, right? And where were their supervisors??
Tumblr media
Effing f-i-n-a-l-l-y.
Also, Magnus with the deflecting again as soon as he's recovered just the tiniest bit is both painfully ic and also just painful </3
Ugh, can you believe Clace entered the Malec scene even though they must have felt it was a bad time and deranged it with their flirting? Unfair. In any case I agree, Clary was always and will always be an idiot XD haha okay sorry, I don't really mean that (only like, 83%) it's just the setup was too good to pass it up ;) I mean even Alec laughed at Jace calling her an idiot so I'm well within my rights to do it, too XD
Tumblr media
Thanks, Alec, for sabotaging the one shot at open communication you had. I mean, I want to believe he does it because he realizes Magnus is back to his deflecting self and prodding will get him nowhere, but uhm, could he try for longer than three seconds before giving up? Is he really gonna let Magnus off the hook so easily and do something stupid and reckless instead?? *sigh* BUT ALSO HIS FRAKKING FACE OKAY I CAN'T
Tumblr media
“Back from the Plot Fold”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alec “Tact” Lightwood looooool
Tumblr media
“Bitch I worked on this performance for centuries how dare you”
Tumblr media
SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.
Tumblr media
sdfshfsjdkfjsdf I love the way he talks okay. Exquisite. (Also he has a birthmark on his lip. It's really distracting. Am I implying Asmodeus is hot? Maybe. You can't prove a thing.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
............................................................your self-confident didn't make any progress since season 1, did it, Alec? *sigh* I mean he's basically agreeing with Asmodeus that this is what will happen if their situation doesn't change.
Okay what is structure, let me just yell my impressions of this scene at you. 1) Both of their acting is stellar. Love all the little body language cues, especially Asmodeus's mocking facial expressions. 2) “Return what you stole” and Asmodeus protesting it because clearly he had a “fair deal” with Magnus. 3) Alec breaking eye contact whenever Asmodeus lands a hit (“One he already regrets.” “You make him vulnerable, weak.”) 4) The fact that Alec protests the potential-line with “We love each other.” I was confused at first but when you think about it Alec says that they help each other access their full potential by loving each other and that's a beautiful sentiment. 5) Of course then Asmodeus lands another hit with “Then I'm afraid you will be the death of him” and Alec is back to looking away.
Tumblr media
Thank you, Alec, for not being a total idiot.
Tumblr media
“...or else the deal is off.” Obviously. Thank you, Asmodeus, for not being a total idiot either.
Tumblr media
.........did he just nod? I knew I was right making that 'total' italic, implying he's still somewhat of an idiot XD
Tumblr media
sooooo pretttyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Tumblr media
And I can't believed Clary missed Luke so much she visited him in prison a total of 0 times.
Tumblr media
Look I'm weak and I dig the Jace-Luke-father-son-in-law-dynamic.
Also can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Alec is able to function as Head of the Institue even though he has to make the hardest decision of his life at the same time?? Just saying. Guy knows how to handle his shadowhunter responsibility. If only he was as capable in handling other things and omg this is not an innuendo you naughty people, I meant emotional intelligence goddammit.
Tumblr media
I mean, he's not wrong? The way he cares about her is uniquely twisted, so.
Tumblr media
.........................is Alec having 2x12 flashbacks? Because I sure am.
Hmmmm always admiring Clary's screaming skills :)
Tumblr media
*sigh* I mean she didn't just SAY intense pain for a short while? Why am I even bothering.
Tumblr media
The scientist has spoken lol.
Tumblr media
1) They had a whole underground basement full of tons and tons of that serum, right? If those are all made up of nanoparticles then I really really wonder how big the Glorious splitter was that they extracted the serum from. Since, you know, that whole stash was supposed to be enough for the Downworlders all over the world. Wtf 2) I guess “self-destructing” that basement is gonna come back to roost them and they need to recover the original sword to eliminate the Evil Rune, right???? haha
Tumblr media
Asmodeus wrote: Hurry up pretty boy, our deal isn't on the table forever ;)
I'm actually impressed Jace remembered to ask Alec about the proposal. You get some more diligence starlets, Jace <3
Tumblr media
OMG ALEC ARE YOU SHITTING ME ARE YOU SHITTING ME ARE YOU SHITTING ME *sigh* I mean, those two situations are obviously totally comparable, right? I for my part am, again, having severe 2x12 flashbacks, where Alec asked Jace's council about something that Jace totally wasn't equipped to answer. *SIGH*
Tumblr media
And I guess Jace isn't suspicious because of Alec's super suspicious behavior, right?????? Ugh.
Tumblr media
The sad part is, Alec will probably see that as confirmation that he should go through with it because he doesn't want to be selfish. So while yay, Alec seeking council, he does it in the worst way possible :( at least I got some parabatai feels out of it :/
Tumblr media
On the one hand I'm glad she sees it that way* on the other hand this is clearly supposed to be the influence of the rune, so that's kinda undermining her statement and making it even less credible. Thanks, show.
*Yes he was a victim, no he still carries some responsibility for his actions because free will is a thing and he's had some time on earth where he wasn't exactly coerced by anyone. Manipulated, yes. But he's aware of his agency and he should have used it better. I get that I'm asking for a lot here, maybe too much, and circumstances were always against him, but I'm also not absolving him of all his crimes.
Tumblr media
Magnus deflecting because that's what he does. God forbid a scene that could be about him actually ends up being about him instead of a side pairing I couldn't care less about. *sigh*
Also, I'm not exactly sure if Magnus really thinks Alec thought being around Maryse could help him, or if he just said that as another means to deflect because honestly, the way Alec suggested to Magnus he go to Maryse was more the here-go-see-your-babysitter-approach than anything else, especially because he basically cut of the conversation they where having before Clace interrupted. *SIGH*
Tumblr media
WELL I COULD
Tumblr media
YOU NO FRIKKIN SAY, MARYSE
Tumblr media
“My lips are sealed.... especially about my issues ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
Tumblr media
THE DISDAIN AHAHHAHAHA CATCH ME WHEEZING ON THE GROUND
Tumblr media
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SEELIE QUEEN IS QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
Is this.... actually......... a scene with Alec and Izzy???? HELL YEAH
Okay, words. First off, I LOVE that Alec spills all the beans, and to Izzy, the one emotionally capable Lightwood. I mean, yay Jalec and all, but it's an universally acknowledged truth that Lightwood Men seem to be pretty unable to handle their emotions in a productive way.
Second off, the music playing in the background? Is the one from the Malec Breakup Scene from 2x18. Yay mood reference, I mean. Thanks for that lovely detail, show. (Hahahaha I don't even know if I'm sarcastic or not because it's so witty but on the other hand it's just cruelly twisting the knife like r u for real man give me a damn break.)
Third off, I love basically every line of this dialogue. The fact that Alec (or anyone really) FINALLY acknowledges that Magnus gave up his powers and saved Jace for Alec. Alec's argument: “Magnus sacrificed everything so I could feel whole and now I have the chance to do the same for him.” Also that wording, “a chance”? Not an obligation, not a repayment of a dept. A chance. Because he loves Magnus and this is his chance to fix it. (In his eyes at least, pssssh.)
And Izzy's intent “He wouldn't want this. He loves you so much.” So valid. And less biased (aka skewed by shitty self-esteem) than Alec's assessment of the situation.
Also this
Tumblr media
Ouch, just. Ouch. So ic.
Also this
Tumblr media
Izzy asking all the right questions. The way Alec looks away means “No” and the determined way he meets her gaze again after means “But that doesn't matter.” Very good scene.
(Honestly the only thing I would have wished for is that Izzy is a little more firm in her assertion that Magnus wouldn't want this and she like, tries to change Alec's mind instead of just accepting his decision.)
Tumblr media
hehehe :)
Tumblr media
The same time you moved to Florida apparently.
Tumblr media
hahaahahha <3<3<3 kick-ass sister material
Tumblr media
.........<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 this deserves so much recognition okay. Since we all know drinking away his problems is Magnus's No 1 coping mechanism. Too bad he'll be pushed into his liquor again by Alec unwisely breaking up with him at the end of the episode (because I daren't dream of a change of heart on Alec's side.)
Also is this the part where Maryse blabs out Alec's proposal plans??
Ugh yay, so after Maryse reassuring Magnus that they are all here for him I guess the breakup is just gonna get 5 shades uglier. Yaaay.
Tumblr media
Love that necklace damn.
Tumblr media
Obligatory Sizzy moment in front of Becky so she can call Simon out on it later: Check. Just glad this role doesn't fall to Raphael. (Also you bet your ass I chose Becky's line as a picture for this because I'm really that petty.)
Also omg, I just peeked into the German dubbing because obviously the Count von Count pun doesn't work because the words for Count and the word for counting aren't the same here and the guy is named Graf Zahl. And just skdjfslkdjfklsdjfkld Simon's line “That does sound really made up” is honest to God transated with “You're right, I just made him up” like oh my God who is in charge of translating this and why are they so incompetent honestly!!!!!!!! W H Y
Tumblr media
Lol that's gotta be the first time in his life that he called her Isabelle. Probably because she was slacking off during patrol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AAAAAND I'M WHEEZING AGAIN AHAHHA HER OFFENDED FACE Honestly the seelie queen and Becky should start a comedy spin-off, I'd be watching the shit out of that XD
Tumblr media
HAHAHAHAH HAVE MERCY XD XD XD Then again, can you blame Simon? Izzy is sooooo droolworthy.
Tumblr media
1) She's gonna let Alec, Jace and Clary (two and a half shadowhunters ahaha) take on a whole nest of demons alone? Instead of backing them up? Okay???
2) Why they telling them that??? As far as they are concerned Simon and Becky are civilians, not their parents.
Tumblr media
?????? NO SHE SHOULD TAKE BECKY WITH HER!!!!!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE BECKY TOURING THE INSTITUTE? BECKY MARVELING AT ALL THE UNREALISTIC SHADOWHUNTER TECH?? BECKY KIDDING AROUND IN THE LAB??? I WAS ROBBED!!!
Tumblr media
:)))) even Jace breaking out the comedy :D :D :D I approve
Tumblr media
Those are some nice wings. Not perfect, but very very nice.
Tumblr media
ARE YOU KIDDING ME HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Okay, Parabatai Fight Scene!!! 1) Jace again with his axes, nice.
Tumblr media
2) Being sassy instead of, idk, picking up his weapons: Check.
Tumblr media
3) True dat, but uh, Jace, what was the plan if Alec hadn't shown up? Inviting Drevak Queen out on a date?
Tumblr media
4) I mean, why shoot one when you can shoot five, right? Good motto. But I still kind of want an explanation how two of those arrows could land in the Drevak Queen's head and the other three in her chest, like, what are physics anyway amiright?
Tumblr media
5) Shot meant to make Jace look heroic when really, since we earlier learnt that killing the Drevak Queen kills all her spawn*, this was just Alec doing Jace's work for him XD
*Uh, yeah what the hell is up with that. Chitauri Genetic Defect or something? *sigh*
Tumblr media
*Feelings of terrible foreboding intensify*
Tumblr media
sssssssssssssssssssssssudden
Tumblr media
Look, I agree. I just don't think Maia could really comprehend / accept that so fast (and off-screen) because ugh reasons, too tired to repeat myself again *waves hand unhelpfully* but whatever, I can accept this. I made my peace with it.
Tumblr media
1) Last time I checked those cells were secured with a combination lock thingy.
2) Thanks Lanaia for sabotaging Sizzy, I'll be sure to send you a gift basket (or, if what I think will happen happens, some flowers for your grave lol).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*snorts* Reminds me of Hannibal who was always making cannibal puns at people and no one noticed XD Also, her knocking Jace out was really dumb? I mean, he wouldn't have stopped her from saving Jonathan because, uh, that's saving her own neck, too. And if she'd portaled them both to the cell she could have disposed of him there way easier, locking him up – since apparently she didn't plan to kill him, and that nice straightjacket would have kept him from alerting the other Shadowhunters way longer than that pipe over the head. So, wholly unnecessary. I mean, in a way it's nice to know that Demonic Clary isn't smarter than Regular Clary.
Tumblr media
Dude she's literally wielding a spear, how dumb are you.
Aaaaaand there goes my order to the nearest funeral wreath shop XD
Tumblr media
Look I have questions (which, okay, I should have asked sooner but what even is continuity right). When that weird gratifying wing dream sequence started I thought it was Clary tapping into the rune connection and it was the real Jonathan communicating with her. When Jace entered the play field it was clear at least some part must be fake because Jace sure as heck wasn't unconscious / in trance at the time and later didn't give any indication that he participated in some creepy contest for Clary's affections. But now Jonathan is surprised by this, too? He, too, was a product of Clary's imagination? I have so many questions, first of all, why the wings? And the really cheap back-white-symbolism? Also, why did Clary feel so drawn to Jonathan if this was all in her own mind? Was it the influence of the Evil Rune? Does the Evil Rune have a user interface that's shaped to look like Jonathan? Does that mean Jonathan has a Clary-shaped interface??? I need answers.
Tumblr media
Ugh. Let's make this long and painful, shall we.
Tumblr media
OF COURSE IN THE ONE SCENE WHERE SHIT WILL GO DOWN THEY DON'T FAIL AT CASUAL INTIMACY THANK YOU FOR  N O T H I N G
Let's not talk about the fact that the thought, Alec could mean anything but a break together from everything that's been going on, doesn't even cross Magnus's mind because no. Noooooo. I'd rather talk about how absolutey awesome both of their acting is. For Alec I really like the way he moves his eyes, like the gaze darting around alternating with the rigid stare. For Magnus, uh, everything, just like, his whole face is perfection?? Yeah, that works.
Tumblr media
The way he interrupts because he just needs to get this over with as quickly as possible.
Tumblr media
Dammit, he does this eyelid dip here, it's not a blink, it's just his eyelids twitching down for a second because this is like a slap in the face. And then he turns and takes a step away because his instinct is to run from this because what is this, this can't be
“Is this about last night? Because I'm going to quit drinking.”
Magnus “forever apologizing for being an 'inconvenience'” Bane, final installment.
Tumblr media
Dammit, his face. And again with the deflecting, trivializing his feelings, anything to keep this conversation from going where he thinks it's going.
Tumblr media
*EYE ROLL* Sorry but you don't get to play that card after being effin obtuse for 7 episodes, Alec. Nope. Nope.
Tumblr media
Magnus, his usual walls rudely ripped away. He has no chance but to admit how shitty he's feeling. And if it wasn't for the circumstances I'd say “yay, finally some communication” but well.
“Fine. I'm in pain,” he says, and Alec turns away, breaking eye contact for a moment because the final confirmation is too much for him for a moment.
Tumblr media
I love that Magnus doesn't deliver this line meekly. He's worked up, sure, but there's also a confidence when talking about their relationship. Breaking up is an unrealistic concept to him in that moment because it's so absurd. It's not fixing anything so why would it happen? Makes no sense. *insert weeping sounds*
Tumblr media
Brutal and efficient. Very ic.
Tumblr media
Damn how does even his blink convey so much vulnerability??? (Somewhere Lexa is nodding approvingly.) (Also why didn't I find gif sets of this :c)
“You said there's nothing I can do to make it better.”
There's an audible difference in his voice, because this part is true and he's not lying. The controlled monotone isn't there anymore. This is his real despair in the face of not being able to do anything to help Magnus.
“It's not your job to make it better.”
Again, if this was a constructive conversation it would be a great step in the right direction. But sadly it isn't, and so this is too little too late.
“Well, what am I supposed to do? Just stand by and watch you suffer for the rest of our lives?”
Alec is still speaking the truth, and this is his motivation to go through with it. Because a) he believes what Magnus said about never being happy again without his magic (sidenote, he didn't, in fact, say that, he said it might never pass (meaning being affected by the magic loss) and he's not happy at the moment, which isn't the same as he'll definitely surely never be happy again without his magic, but whatever) and b) he's sure he doesn't mean all that much to Magnus. He's his current love, but that's about it. Nothing special, not worth leaving such devastating traces in Magnus's life and he certainly doesn't mean as much to Magnus as Magnus means to him. And especially from that second part stems his gravely false assessment of the situation which in the course of consideration leads him to the conclusion that breaking Magnus's heart will hurt less in the long run than him not having his magic. There's also the fact that be probably didn't think about how him doing this to Magnus will confirm every last insecurity Magnus ever had about not being lovable, because I can't believe he would have gone through with this if he'd thought of that. Or at least, he would have been visibly more torn about it, maybe even talked out of it by Izzy, etc. But it's ic for Alec not to think like that, because in a way I guess he loves Magnus too much to really understand that Magnus has these doubts. And Magnus mostly playing his vulnerabilities close to his chest isn't working in his favor here either.
“This isn't you. You're not this selfish.”
This is what I mean. If Alec was less convinced that he's doing the right thing this line might have shaken him out of it. Honestly, I half hoped he'd object this, consequentally incriminate himself and Magnus would catch on that something was going on. But ofc that didn't happen.
The spark line, just. Ouch. Again, very clinical and minimalistc. The way Alec stares, his voice back to being monotone, the way he clenches his jaw. And then his work here is done and he's ready to leave.
It only gets worse from there. Magnus, frozen in disbelieve because this can't possibly be true, and then he starts begging and it breaks my heart every single time okay. To see him reduced to this desperation is just cruel.
I still can't help but note the way Alec readily turns around before Magnus has competely turned around himself. I think he was on the brink of giving in.
The way Magnus holds on to him, hands fluttering over his arms, shoulders, cheeks. The way Alec can't even look at him for the barest second, eyes closed, breath going heavy. Magnus's everything. Just kill me now.
And let's not talk about their kisses and Magnus's whispered words because no. There's nothing to say to that except perfection. Intense, top notch emotion portrayal on both parts.
Then Alec pulls away (how???? gotta admire commitment and an iron will when you see it but boy is it misplaced) and Magnus's hands tremble because this can't be happening, this can't possibly be real.
Note that Alec doesn't look him in the eyes once because he knows if he did, it'd all be over. Also note the look of utter betrayal on Magnus's face. It's not just hurt and heartbreak, it's betrayal because this is what this is. Alec promised him something, made him believe that he could trust in him, in them, and now he's going back on his word.
Well, this was fun, let's never do it again.
Look, I don't have the nerve for this anymore, so I'll keep it short and in no particular order: - Asmodeus is ass powerful and manages to distance-summon himself, yay, nice to know that the one time a shadowhunter doesn't act stupid and impulsive it still doesn't pay off. - Asmodeus killing pissed off warlock lady was both obvious and unnecessary. - His smile is creepy. - “My son needs me.” MY ASS - He still needs to support himself on the back of the chair because he's a weak bitch hahaha.
Conclusion: *sounds of despair*
I just watched the 3x19 promo and.... they're really gonna end Malec on a train wreck this season, aren't they?? Oh God. They hoped they'd have a forth season to work through it and that's why they served themselves with issues and second helpings of extra issues, and since s4 isn't a thing we're gonna get an unsatisfying as hell 2x20-style resolution in the finale. God please say I'm wrong but like. Arrgghhhh.
(Also, credit where credit is due: “Before we get started, does anyone wanna get out?” is the line from Captain America in TWS before the elevator fight.)

The Big House (Strawberry Shortcake part 3)
Hiii! So we are again with this incredible story, woooow! If you just got here it's better to read the first part but if you stay here we'll be my guest!
Anyway hope you all enjoyed and have a good reading
https://miratale.tumblr.com/post/188150318147/knowing-marcus-strawberry-shortcake-part-2
---------------------------------------------------
After a few moments of everyone get to know each other and getting inside Steve's car, the traveling to his house was starting to get exciting because the girls wanted to know everything about Steve.
"And what about you house! Is it big like you?" Apple Dumpling asked with curious.
"Yes it is hahah" Steve chuckled a bit. 'They are so cute and tiny!' Steve thought looking for they quickly, he had to focus on the road.
"Do you have some pet?" Hunkcleberry that was on Steve's shoulder asked imagine how big it could be his pet.
"Oh yes! I have a dog and a cat." Steve answered and then he think about it. "But if you all want I can take them away from you, I mean they usually stay inside the house but I can make them to go outside."
"Oh no it's okay, and they are very cute." Strawberry said for Steve, she was on the passenger seat with Orange, Lemon, Sweet and Sour Grape. While Apple, Blueberry, Raspberry and Hunkcleberry were on Steve's shoulder, they are tiny people so they fit perfectly on the shoulder.
"Alright then." Steve say it and remember the day Strawberry was in his house playing with his dog it was so cute. He got a little red on his cheeks.
"What do you work with?" Lemon wanted to know.
"Oh I work on coffee shop with some of my friends." Steve say it looking at them with a smile. "I always liked to cook and make coffee, it's relaxing, and then I just followed my dream you know."
"Oh that's great! Strawberry, Sweet and Sour Grape are great doing food." Lemon say it excited.
"That's good, I mean I already knew that Strawberry could cook, but it's nice to know that are more." Steve thought about the recipes they could share or make together. "So what you like to do?"
"Pretty much everything we can" Sour Grape said rolling her eyes. "Mostly cakes and pastries" Sweet Grape look at him with sorry eyes about the rudeness of her sister, but Steve just chuckled.
"I didn't know you have people working with you, last time I went there you were working alone." Strawberry said with curious eyes, she really didn't remember about someone working with him.
"That's because they new at the town, they came a few months ago, Leon and Ray hired Sam and Stan to work with me on the coffee because the things start to get a little hard there." Steve explain remembering the confusion that it was with those brothers.
"I'm sorry but who are they?" Strawberry asked with the most confusion and cute face for Steve.
"They are my friends." Steve answered. "I hope one day I can make you meet them if you want of course." Steve looked for all of them to see if they agree, he doesn't want to do anything that they don't want or like.
"We would love to meet your friends." Strawberry and the others agree, it would be so nice to meet new people like Steve it would be like a new experience.
"Okay then." Steve chuckled and think about it, 'that actually would be great, I won't need to hide this secret anymore.' he never tell for his friends about the existence of tiny people and that he was a friend of one of them.
"Well you should take some rest now you all look tired." He was right they were really tired after the travel and adrenaline of fear about Steve when they meet him.
Steve put Apple, Blueberry, Raspberry and Hunkcleberry at the seat that the others were. They got ready to sleep, Strawberry looked at Steve while he was driving.
"What about you? Won't you sleep too?" She asked worried, she didn't want him to get tired.
"I'll be fine don't worry about me, we are almost there." Steve looked at Strawberry with a calm face. Strawberry get a little red and looked away after agreeing, Orange noticed her blushing and whispered for Plum "Sheee loooove hiiiim" They laughed and finished their things to sleep.
Strawberry heard but ignore, she went for where they were sleeping and lied near Apple that was already asleep. She take her last look at Steve.
"Good night Steve."
"Good night."

Like Steve said it didn't take so long to get back to his house, but it was surely late and he was tired.
He parked his car on his garage and pick up the girls with the utmost care for not waking them, he was going to take the cars in the morning after he wake up. When he enter the house he was surprised by his cousin that live with him.
"Hey Steve you're back! Where did you even go?" Alex came down stairs after hearing the door.
"Shhhh please speak a little lower" Steve said quietly for h Alex direction.
"Sorry" Alex apologize not understanding why.
"Sorry I didn't said anything about where I went... What are you doing wake up at this time?" Steve asked.
"Oh it just... I had some ideas for what to do for my blog I had to put in practice as soon as I could and... What are holding?" Alex looked down to Steve's hands, he saw a full of dolls.
"Oh this are my new friends."
"Dolls? Wow now you're really weird." Alex said looking at Steve with sarcastic eyes and back at the girls. He noticed that their chest was moving and then Lemon was talking sleep, in that moment Alex got scared.
"W-what?!? Okay this is definitely not dolls!" He almost shouted, taking a few steps away form Steve.
"Shh! I know and I'll explain everything while you help me, come on." They walked up stairs and Steve was explaining everything.
"So how long you and Strawberry know each other?" Alex asked.
"It will make a year now since we met." Steve answered and start to yawn.
"They are very cute that's true but why their names are frut names?" Alex asked looking at them, and he noticed that they smell was so good that he didn't stop sniffing them until Steve said to stop.
"Sorry but I can't resist it is so good!" He take his last sniff and sighed.
"I know." Steve take a big yawn. "Well it's better if we take some sleep too. I'm going to my room." Steve was walking to his room after his last look at the girls that were at a deep sleep.
"Good night Steve."
"Good night Alex."
-------------------
Strawberry start to waking up, she noticed something was wrong so she open her eyes. She look around and saw that she wasn't in her bed or her house, then she remembered the things that happen yesterday.
She yawn and stretched and looked around again but this time admiring the big house she already visited, there were somethings new since her last visited Steve's house. But something she didn't know that was someone knew as well.
"Good morning Strawberry!" Alex approached and kneel next to her. He was with a little smile and with eyes from someone who just woke up.
"W-who are you?" Strawberry asked worried, she never saw him, well she never saw someone like Steve and that is a little uncomfortable, at least without Steve.
"I'm Alex, Steve's cousin. I'm living with him for a while just until I get my own house." Alex present himself for her nicely, and Strawberry lost a little of the worry.
"Oh nice to meet you!" She gave him a smile that was returned by Alex with another smile.
"Hi Strawberry!" Apple shouted from Alex shoulder.
"Hi Apple, I didn't see you there." Strawberry shouted back to her cousin with a question on her face that Alex noticed.
"Me and Apple meet each other after she wake up and start to exploring the house, she got lost in my room but luckily I was already awake to help her." He look at Apple and she chuckled.
"I got desperate! First I didn't know how to come back and then a strange giant suddenly appear!" Apple put some drama on the store and they both laughed. "Of course I lost my fear very quickly after he helped me, he's so cool!"
"Ah geez thanks." Alex got a little red about the compliments.
"Strawberry the house is so big, it's bigger than a tree." Apple shouted to Strawberry with so much excitement that Alex start to laugh even more.
Strawberry look around to see how her friends were doing, some of them was still asleep but there was some who as awake and start approaching to Strawberry.
"Good Morning Strawberry!" Sweet Grape came.
"Good morning Sweet Grape." Strawberry get up and look around again searching for another person.
"Hey Alex where are Steve?"
"He still sleeping, he came really tired last night." He pointed his thumb to Steve's room and get up. "Well I'm going to the kitchen, want to get down Apple?" He looked at Apple.
"I want to go with you, if you don't mind." She said hesitantly worry if he didn't want her with him.
"alright let's go." He smile at her and went to the stairs with Apple while Strawberry watched.
"Steve's cousin is so sweet, hehehe get it sweet - sweet grape." Sweet Grape make this joke with her name and Strawberry chuckled but her sister rolled her eyes.
"Are kidding me?" Sour Grape complained.
Strawberry chuckled about the sisters complaining at each other and then look at the Steve's room. It wasn't so far from where they were, so she start to walk on the room direction.
"Where are you going?" Sweet asked.
"I'll see if Steve already awake." Strawberry answered Sweet while she was walking.
It didn't take so long to get to his room, when she was already near to the feet of the bad she asked herself how was she's gonna climb up all the bed, it was gigantic! She came closer to the middle of the bed, and saw Steve head in deep sleep.
She analyzed the bed and she got some way to climb it using the blankets. It was hard but she did it, Strawberry was on the corner of the bed getting closer of Steve starting to climb him hoping that he didn't move. A few steps later she was on his stomach, Strawberry almost fall because of the movements of Steve's stomach from breathing, it was deep and slow.
Strawberry got the rhythm and continue to walk, when she was on the chest she felt something bitting inside of it, Strawberry kneel down to put her ear and heard the heartbeat of Steve. She blush a little bit, it was beautiful for her, she wanted stay there for hours but she had to continue. When she get up Steve start to move, he turned to lie on his side, and in the process Strawberry fell.
Strawberry was ok but she have to be more careful, now she close to his face, she took a sigh of relief for getting there and look again to him mostly to his lips, it was perfect and with those beautiful eyes... No, no! She can't think about that, a relationship with Steve would never work and he probably doesn't like her that way.
She shake her head and start climbing his face.
"Steve!" She shouted at him. He didn't open his eyes. "Steeevee!" She tried again.
"hmmm... 5 more minutes" Steve complained, he didn't want to wake up.
"Come Steve you have to wake up"
"nooo"
"oh come o- wowow hey what are you doing?!" Strawberry yelled at him, he pick her up from his face holding her by her waist.
"You have to sleep more too.'' Steve bring her close to his chest with a cup hand.
"Noooo Steve we have gooo!" Strawberry tried to get out from his hand but make it hard.
"Give me a good reason to wake up." Steve asked looking down at her.
"uhmm I don't know my friends?" Strawberry suggest.
"Hmm their fine right?"
"Yes."
"Then no, I'll still here."
"What about your work?!"
"Today I don't open the coffee."
"Then you gonna wake up because I asked?!" Strawberry said with a smile.
Steve looked at her again and start to pretend he was thinking, Strawberry chuckled a bit.
"Alright alright I'll get up." He sigh from his defeat. He hold her tightly and sit on his bed, Steve put Strawberry next to him for take a stretch. Get out of his bed picking her up.
"Good morning Strawberry." He said with a smile.
"Good morning Steve." She answered him with a small blush on her cheeks.
He put her down for a moment just for him go to the bathroom. When he come back they went to the living room where the others were.
"Good morning guys!" Steve kneel near to them.
"Good Morning Steve." Blueberry smile at him and he returned with another smile. "Steve where are our cars? I need to get some of mine stuff there."
"Oh it is in my car I go get them." He answered her remembering that he left their cars in his car. Hah! What an ironic. The others agreed with her remembering that they need their stuff.
"You all want to come with me there?" Steve stand his hand flat for they climb on. They went fearless up to his hand, but they still were a little squeaky about being lifting up.
Steve got up with the girls on his shoulders and hands and went down stairs where he found his cousin with Apple.
"Hi Steve!" Alex greeted Steve. "We are doing breakfast, wanna join in?" He showed the pancakes he was doing, Blueberry, Hunkcleberry and Cherry Jam were drooling from hunger.
"I will I just have to take those cars from my car an-" Steve was interrupted by Cherry.
"Sorry Steve but can we stay here while you take our stuff? I'm so hungry." Cherry begged for Steve.
"Of course! Stay here I'll be right back." He them down on the counter next to Apple, when he turn to go to the garage Strawberry called him.
"Wait can I go with you please?" She gave a little smile like a kid when they want a new toy.
"Of course come here." He let his hand flat so she could climb on.

EPISODE 5 “Can’t we just bring the crazy 15 year old in? Why is that so hard?” - Sarah
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The internal struggle is real rn. Do I throw Alex under the bus and secure my safety? Or do I try to sit back and hope a new target emerges?
I don't know how many people know this, but I try to write a big piece of bullshit before every tribal to release if I'm the one voted out. Here's the one from tonight.... First of all I just want to say thank you to the hosts and to my fellow competitors. Now I'm going to expose some snakes. (Please don't hate me people, I just want to blow the game up while I'm leaving). -Linus, Alex, and Tommy are in an alliance -Jonathan HATES Richie and Alex -Jaiden has told me that he has an idol -Crow, Sarah, and Brian have an alliance -Of the 3 mentioned above, Crow and Sarah have a F2 -Tommy is by far playing the best strategic game -Junior is playing an extremely well social game -Brian is connected to the heroes on MANY levels and he'll flip to them at a tribe swap -Linus also has a good social game -Jaiden is messy as fuck
Tumblr media
hi my name is im fucked how r u?
Tumblr media
BIIIIIITCH I'M GOING FOR MY OTTNN5 EDGIC I'M NOT FUCKING AROUND RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!! (but hopefully i at least get a CPM) The vote was 4 votes Alex. 4 votes Kage. 1 vote ME. 1 vote tommy. 1 vote Jon. theres a tie, brian gets the rock drawn and my stupid ass was like wait my names not on the list and that alone should make me a hero for being an honest bitch but then redo and jaiden leaves and bam i ERUPT.  in the main chat i'm like YO WHO VOTED WHO LETS GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT!!! Jon/Crow/Junior all say they voted for alex, Linus says he voted for Kage and I say i voted for kage so thats 5/11 votes accounted for and i cant believe anyone actually listened to me and revealed their vote in the tribal chat lmao WILD i was completely left out of this vote and everything thats been happening on this tribe so its clear im on the bottom and with my name being thrown around at this vote whether i was actually a possible target or a decoy that shit isnt okay im not in the long term plans for ANYONE on this tribe so i have nothing to lose worst case scenario i put a big target on my back and i go out next and if that happens at least i didnt go out as a useless pawn in anyones game and its because i did something but what im hoping is to gain information (which i did because i found out how everyone voted within an hour after tribal) and 2. i wanted chaos so everyones mad at someone like kage voting jon was a big win bc that furthered their fight thats been alive since day 1 after that i went on a bit of a pity tour where i went to everyone and like was like "i feel so alone and isolated and no one trusts me and i just feel like i havent done anything to prove that you shouldnt trust me i just want to be included" just trying to make people feel bad lmao im so worked up its been 2 hours since tribal and i literally havent stopped ive been at a 100 out of 10 with everyone and im going to need to cool down and lay low but while i have momentum i caaaaant just sit around and do nothing so i guess we'll see what consequences my outbursts have had???? 
Tumblr media
idk how to explain what just happened
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've wrote myself a hit list of people who ARE going home before me.... Jonathan Richie Linus Alex Tommy Brian
Tumblr media
So after a few hours of info gathering I think I have bits and pieces of what happened in that last vote.... So the alliance of 7 (Myself, Jonathan, Sarah, Tommy, Brian, Jaiden, & Junior) were supposed to vote for Alex. However, Jaiden, being bored with the game or feeling outcast at the bottom decides that this is merely a ploy to get us to throwaway our votes. Then, he approaches various people, which I know to be Brian, Linus, and Junior (at least) about the possibility of still voting Kage. Whether this was to insight chaos or division for entertainment or strategy, I don't know.... Meanwhile, Alex is feeling on the outs as he's a smart player and observed it so he threw a vote at Tommy. Whether this was because he knew it would force the vote to tie or simply because he didn't like Tommy and wanted to give him a parting gift, I also don't know.... Jonathan, Tommy, myself, and Sarah stuck to the plan to vote out Alex (however, Sarah doesn't want to expose her vote in public and cause a confrontation between her and Junior considering Junior lied about his vote too....) Kage voted Jonathan in the same regard that Alex did. (Again, I don't know if it was planned or not or if either had connections to Jaiden's plans, but they both threw away their votes despite them being clear targets.....sketch....) Which means that someone threw a vote at Richie and is not fessing up about it. Richie voted Kage because I'm sure that's what everyone told him to do (as we were supposed to) and he was just alone. The vote for Richie, in my opinion, was likely Jaiden, given his rep for paranoia and throwing votes away to avoid rocks/idol plays (ironic, huh?) and that Junior voted for Kage as a part of Jaiden's plan considering there's a strong possibility that him and Linus are connected.... So right now, I trust Tommy, Jonathan, Alex, Sarah (but I'm also a little worried as to why she doesn't want to tell the truth to everyone....) and honestly, still Brian because I can relate to his position.....I want to build trust with Richie but we're not there quite yet. My targets would be Kage and Junior as of now. Kage just....just needs to go and Junior is a massive rat with a few too many strings on this tribe. Either or, I don't care which one goes first.... Or I'm totally wrong and still aligning myself with rats =)
Tumblr media
I got REALLY lucky yesterday, however I also lost my closest ally in the process.  And I told him I would slay the rest of this game for him, so I must avenge Jaiden (who I will confessional-ize about all the time!).  I had some major damage control and I just pushed over and over again that I voted Kage, the truth, so that people would trust me more.  I hope they do still trust me, and I do think they realize that I'm still useful to most of them.  I grew insanely close to Richie after that happened, and the two of us will most definitely be working together.  Linus still trusts me, and I think Alex might still trust me to an extent.  Kage and I are probably done which is fine.  Junior is a snake or so I think.  Tommy doesn't not trust me, he just probably won't trust me as much.  But he did know about the Kage vote, so I didn't completely shock him.  Sarah and Crow need me, I think.  Jonathan needs me.  I hope my thoughts on all this are right djskahsd.
Tumblr media

You have found the Modoru idol. This is a special idol with special powers. This idol, when played, will restart the round to before the last immunity challenge, halting the tribal council, resulting in no elimination from the game. The immunity challenge will be reconducted, and the game will continue as normal. It is important to note that is idol must be played before the votes are read, at the same time as a normal idol. If any other idol is played in addition to this idol, it shall be returned to it’s owner. me: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAVE A FUCKING FISH IDOL anyways ya so thats what u missed on glee
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Heroes showing up to slay the villains in the challenge honestly I dont know whats my more favorite thing, winning immunity or watching the villains descend into madness
Tumblr media
We won immunity again out of luck..... woopdy freakin doo. I feel kinda bad for the heroes because the Villains are having all the FUN and I wanna be included in on the fun, but I do have to keep reminding myself that no matter how eager I am, it's good that I've been immune these few times because, eventually, if I make it there, I'll have to go to every single tribal council, and knowing how horrific I am under pressure when it comes to individual immunities, I probably won't win many of those. But one good thing did come out of this round, and it's the fact that Kendall painted a bigger target on her back if we were to go to tribal, and it's to get her the fuck out of here. I know she's a strong player, and taking this opportunity to take her out, without even cutting the legs off of her body (and by that I mean taking out Ruthie first, so she feels safe and then stabbing her in the throat), but since Kendall is making it so easy to just target her dumb ass, I guess that'll work too and maybe I can now look into using Ruthie as an asset in this game, especially since she's so nice, she seems really loyal and doesn't have many social skills going around according to what I'm hearing from the tribe. Maybe it's time to start building that final relationship in our tribe, so I can use it in case we swap tomorrow, which I'm highly speculating
I also think it's about that time where I start picking up those strong relationships with those Villains like I had night one, especially if we're swapping tomorrow. I want to keep conversations raw and not too deep. Like a "Good Luck at tribal" and see if it'll spark anything. I've been consistently talking to Tommy, Linus and Crow, but I also know Tommy has been having consistent conversations with members of our tribe, and honestly, there's a chance I might slip this information to Crow to see if he can take out Tommy, especially because he's a winner. OMG THIS CONFESSIONAL JUST GAVE ME A BRILLIANT IDEA. Let's see if I can low-key just plant the seed to get him the fuck out of here and see what's up :)
Drew and Alex C. hosting a main season TOGETHER during Japan? Mood. This is from after me winning the duel. Oops forgetting to submit it from last round
BY THE MOTHERFUCKING GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST I SOMEHOW GOT THE IDOL CLUE WITH AN 8% CHANCE OF IT POTENTIALLY GOING TO ME (ya know.... 1/12 #math). I know it's in the meadow based off of the clue, and lucky for me I already searched there once, so I've got a 1/3 shot of finding it........ AND I FUCK IT THE FUCK UP. Essentially I have two options here, either go to one of my closest allies (Steffen or Trace) to search for the idol as well in the space I told them to, and then they hopefully will it over to me, OR I just wait until next round and HOPE I'm still on Heroes beach (despite the high speculation of a swap), and just hope that I can search again to better my odds. I decided there's no time like the present, so I run to Steffen and Trace, but Steffen answers first, so lucky for Steffen, and I tell him the predicament, and he goes to look for the idol and nada. Now at this point, I just gotta wait it out because I think there's a decent chance we won't be swapping, and that would be incredible for my game because then I can actually go for it now and find out if it has been found or not. I'm getting the feeling that at the fifth round of this game, either someone got a secret idol clue during their search (which is very possible) or that someone got DUMB lucky. Either way, I'm keeping optimistic at this point and praying that shit goes my way. ~Cheers to not a swap~
Also, fucking Tommy keeps messaging me about swapping tribes and wanting to abandon ship with the villains because it's essentially him and Kage vs everyone else. I'm not really sure if this is true, especially because he has fucking won this game before, but I'm going to assume, based on what's been told to me, that it is actually Tommy and Kage vs the tribe, and I think it'll be an interesting tribal tonight, with it being likely that Kage goes home. On a totally different note, I decided to try to utilize my relationship with Crow on the villains tribe, and let him know that A LOT of Heroes have been getting messages from Tommy nonstop, and as much as I think he's nice, the second I found out about Tommy messaging ALL the heroes, and not just me, it made me realize that I don't really think I can trust him and that he's gotta go. I wonder if Crow is going to be taking my advice, or maybe cutting the legs off of Tommy, but Tommy can be a huge tool for me that I can use against the Villains if I end up on a swapped tribe that could fuck me over in numbers, but with Tommy, I've got a shot. As of now, I think Kage is going from what Tommy told me, which means that Tommy is likely next on the chopping block, and he's been talking to me A LOT about mutinying, but I'm not really sure he can do that, but if he can, and he chooses to, there probably won't be much stopping me from booting him out of our tribe almost immediately. We'll see how tonight goes because I'm HIGHLY skeptical about it, but I've got faith that we're not swapping because our tribe declared that Dom is competing in this duel for our tribe, and idk if the hosts are fucking with us or not, but if they are, then kudos to them because I don't know what to think at this point

Saturday -- Day 2! It was a really chill day overall today -- not that I really minded much! I got up slightly earlier than expected and decided to do eyeliner-only for my makeup -- a decision which I definitely don't regret!  I was out of the door a bit earlier than expected and parked at Safeway again...which, I now realized afterwards, was a mistake -- the parking lot across the street is cheaper, both on weekdays and weekends!  I probably realized this on previous years too but just totally forgot about it.  So I'm making (another?) note to myself here that I should park in that lot instead. Anyhoo, I headed to con and met up with Angela, whom I ended up hanging out with for basically the entire day! :D  We ate lunch at this Malaysian place which was not half bad at all, then while I was photographing this Merida cosplayer (yay Merida!) this super random lady came up and said something about the Malaysian food and that we should go again something something she's there something something (????).  And she asked us if we were from Malaysia (uhhh, no?), and where we were from (uhh...here?).  Very odd.  I basically said "okay okay okay sure okay okay whatever" and that was that.  Our best guess is that she worked at the place we had just come from and ....saw me there or something?  but had left, and then recognized me again on the street from my distinctive costume.  ...  or something.  We were quite confused. After that we spent a good deal of the day just wandering around and doing random things, including skimming through the dealers hall a bit, and going through the first two rows of artist alley (which I had skipped yesterday).  We also spent some time in the gaming hall, where I played some more Tetris, including a pretty good master run where I topped out somewhere in the 800s or 900s and got an M1 (M2?) rank.  Nice!  We didn't get to play Bishi Bashi, but I did hop onto the 3rd strike machine and beat two other people pretty handily (heheh), despite my execution being pretty off (I'm going to blame the sticks, as fighting game players are prone to....but for good reason, stick differences REALLY do throw you off a lot, especially when it's a different type of gate or stick than you like to use).  We also had a run on Beatmania 3 (not IIDX, sadly -- there was no IIDX cab this year due to some issue or another), which was kind of fun. We spent some time wandering back and forth -- also I ran into a record number of people from MZ today for some reason O_o -- and also at one point stopped by Stage Zero to watch the B&W ball staff perform some random dance stuff (we said hi to Russell at this point too).  After that we plopped ourselves down on the floor to the right of stage zero where I sprawled out my dress (every year I try and make some time to just sit on the floor with my dress laid out in a circle), and we chatted, people-watched, and had people take photos of me.  Jeremy also said hi to us at this point, having just made it into the final bracket for smash 4 (go Jeremy!), though he would end up getting knocked out thereafter. We met up with Nate and he wanted to check out the tail end of the AMV contest, so we went into that and got to see the last few, which were on the comedy side.  We split off from Nate and I met up with Lann, Alex and co in the Gaming Hall, got a photo and chatted a bit, and then it was time to start thinking about dinner!  We briefly said hi to the RWBY cosplay group before venturing off on our own to dinner...which we decided to get at Safeway!  It was not only convenient since it was right where I had parked, but also ended up being pretty tasty too -- I got myself a toasted sandwich with salami, cheese, veggies, and pepperoncinis -- which I had literally the hardest time communicating to the guy on the other side of the counter, "pepperoncinis" partly because this was the first time I realized how that word was actually spelled (seems that it's also spelled "peperoncino" sometimes too!), and partly because the other guy thought I was talking about pepperjack cheese or something.  I also didn't realize he was going to ask whether he should toast it and then ask for toppings afterwards.  The end result was that he eventually understood what I wanted but put the pepperoncinis (peperoncinos?) on before he toasted the sandwich, which was...I guess unusual.  Communication is hard, lol.  Fortunately the sandwich tasted great anyways, and I got to pair it with a Naked juice smoothie -- my favorite treat, Orange Mango! (which I still have not seen a large size of....) That was it for Fanime today!  After that we drove off to the Art Boutiki where Aivi & Surasshu were going to perform.  Turns out we were wayyyy early and nobody else was there and they weren't ready to start checking people in either, so we just hung out outside at some tables and ate our dinner while chatting some more.  We went in, waited around, and surprise -- ran into Vu and Rose, who were there for the concert too!  We caught up a bunch, chatted, and then enjoyed the concert, which opened up with Noah Hafford (very fun, good stage energy), Omniboy (great music, pretty progressive sound, but also really hit the spot with some sweet rhythms and stabs and such), and Slime Girls (I wasn't as big of a fan, but they seemed fun!).  And then it was onto our beloved Aivi & Surasshu (whom I had gotten to say hi to earlier before they went on)! Aivisura had a great set and I was so happy for their performance!  They played a handful of stuff, including Lonely Rolling Star (ahhhhh!! *squeal*), Here's How! (very fun, very groovy, a song that I didn't realize was so great to listen to while standing up), a cover of Yuri on Ice (which holy crap, gave me chills -- just...the emotion...wow), a song from their new album (so cool!), and a final song from Steven Universe for all the SU fans.  Lonely Rolling Star (I keep typing "Love Everlasting", haha) was great as always...the song from their new album was super interesting and you can tell that their musical style has really developed since The Black Box and all the work they've done for SU.  And they really did great in terms of performance this time too!  It was super fun and surasshu's jammin was less awkward-adorable and more just plain fun and awesome :D  The highlight was Yuri on Ice though, wow, I really felt that in a big way.  I haven't even seen most of the anime, and have only heard that song like once before, but man... And that was it!  I stayed behind for a bit to say hi to aivisura, give them my shiny new business cards, as well as two special ones with the Love Everlasting art on them.  It really makes me happy to know that they are still thankful for Love Everlasting, but even more happy to see them still making great things that I can connect with, as a musical artist.  It made me smile, too, to see another fan telling them that their music helped bring him through difficult times in his life.  Looks like I'm not the only one, heh. Photos from today:
Link taking a selfie......
...and an actual photo, lol.
Merida!  A really well-done outfit.  This was also right before we were ambushed by confusing Malaysia lady...

A random assortment of characters, lol!
Aivi & Surasshu setting up for their awesome gig :D
More loot!  I picked up this cute Sumikko Gurashi folder for just $2 at the Dealers Hall :) That's it for today! As for tomorrow...I didn't get contacted regarding speed dating so I'm assuming that's off the menu (shrug...).  First things first, I gotta get up and drive all the way over to SF in the morning to play chauffeur for some people (zzzzzz).  But then I'll be relatively free for the rest of the day -- technically I'm supposed to have more private instruction time from 12:30-1:30 at the B&W ball place but I'm not even too concerned about that to be honest, I might just let them know I had my share already.  B&W ball itself is tomorrow night, but aside from that I'm mainly just hoping to hang out with Lann, finally get to play Melee with Eddie, hang out at con for the last day that I can, and play some more games of TGM3. Things have been pretty good so far.  Let's keep it up!
