You have known Rei for a while now, just starting working at the hospital when she got there.

She was always the patient you looked forward the most, though you did make quite a scene when she arrived.

Just being out of med school you were maybe a bit too kind hearted as you noticed.

There was nothing wrong with Rei, she was in perfect health and not insane as everyone labeled her.

No, she was just a poor abuse victim no one took serious.

You never saw Enji personally, but if you ever did you doubted that you could hold back your anger directed at this man, though he didn´t deserve to be called that. He was scum. The worst on earth.

Rei liked you too. She was timid at first, wary. And you couldn´t blame her at all, you could understand better than anyone.

After all you were the only sane person in this shithole.

All the other doctors and nurses got paid not to say anything, to keep her in isolation. She didn´t get treated, she just got allowed some time in the garden outside, she got food and flowers delivered and only her family was allowed to visit her.

You really felt sorry for her, she didn´t deserve any of this happening to her.

Over the years you learned everything about what happened that day, about what went on in the family. You grew more disgusted by Enji and the hero society by the day.

You spent more time with Rei than you were allowed to, but nobody minded, not seeing you as a threat.

Touya visited her too, but only in secret, at night when security was weaker.

Rei was more than glad knowing he was alive, never once judging him for the path he has chosen, it was quite the opposite, she supported every one of his decisions.

She told you about him and him about you. You´d be a liar if you said you weren´t curious about him. You only knew the man from the TV and under a different name.

And so Rei called you to her when he visited again, talking to you until he arrived.

Touya came through the window like every other night and just raised an eyebrow at your presence.

“Uuuh… (Y/N), right?” he pointed his finger at you and smirked slightly.

“Hello, you must be Touya, your mom told me a lot about you. It´s nice to finally meet you” you smiled at him and it was the first genuine smile he received that wasn´t by his mother.

It was strange to be regarded as human, he hated the way he trusted you, he didn´t even know you and wishing to do so was just plain stupid.

The more time passed the more Touya told himself he only felt attached to you since you showed him kindness, that was all there was too it.

He was too scared to admit the truth.

A silly dream that could never be reality, a foolish thought, that was all it was.

Until you stopped him in his tracks one day.

“Hey, I´m on break right now, you wanna grab a bite to eat?” you asked, giving him that damn smile again that was just way too bright for your own good.

People with a smile like yours always got hurt and used. And it was always by people like him.

He hated it.

“Yeah that´s not happening” he told you, scoffing. It wasn´t really in a cold manner, just a very distant one.

Before you could even protest Touya proceeded to face you properly, sighing heavily.

“Look, you´re nice, alright? Too nice for a guy like me. Good people like you should stay away from people like me. Cause if they don´t they´re gonna get burnt. I´m going to die soon anyway, so why do you even bother? You shouldn´t get involved in me and much less care about me. Maybe it´s time you start seeing me as a villain rather than someone misunderstood. Cause I´m really not. I did everything I did because I wanted to, because I felt like it. Everything in my life was because of revenge and it always will be. Don´t try to fix me, don´t try to tell me you´re into broken men cause that shit´s more fucked up than my mind. I don´t know what you´re trying to achieve in going out with me but I can tell you it´s not worth it.” he told you earnestly, not letting you say anything to it and leaving again.

The next time you saw him it was on TV and his words came back to you, leaving a bitter aftertaste.

Maybe it was foolish from you to think that he felt the same way, maybe it was also foolish to think he could change.

But then again, you never wanted him to. You accepted him just the way he was and would always support him, didn´t you tell him time after time how important his mission was to you? How much he would change and how proud you were of him?

Touya never learned how to let people in his life, only how to push them away. And over time it was easier to say it was better that way than to actually try and face his feelings.

He was too scared of being hurt and abandoned to do that though, who could blame him for that? It was only logical after everything he´s been through.

However even more than that was he empathetic, too empathetic for his own good. He always put everyone else before him, neglecting himself all his life, his dreams, his desires, his feelings. They weren´t important.

He had no right living anyway, existing only as a walking corpse doing reckless things and desperately trying to make the world a better place while it antagonized him.

You were just unlucky to get caught up in it.

Touya wanted to save you too.

Save you from an unhappy future, save you from watching him die, from all the danger he would expose you to.

But in the end he just did what he always did: run away from his feelings.

It was what he did best, why would he do anything else? Why change his way of living now? He shouldn´t be alive in the first place, he was living on stolen time he didn´t deserve.

Besides you wouldn´t be able to love him since he had no valid existence anyway.

Touya only existed for revenge, he had no personality, everything was fake and shallow.

He just wanted to save you from the disappointment.

And yet he felt empty without you.

BRANDON ARREAGA — Well, if it isn’t JAMES POTTER, the GRYFFINDOR superstar. For those of you who don’t know HIM, you can spot them sitting with the other SEVENTH years. Most people think that they’re CHARMING and INCISIVE, but they can also seem pretty DEPENDENT and INEXORABLE. Sometimes people call them the SHEPHERD. Sure, they’re a PUREBLOOD, but that doesn’t define them. 

i literally have 0 explanation for why i did this other than i’m in love with him. but also, he’s a mess, so jot that down. if you wanna know more about him ( protip: don’t ) then i recommend checking out his pinterest and then i dunno.... contemplate why i’m a punk ass bitch, i guess. enjoy this mess. plot with me. ily.

james henry potter ( named for two his two grandfathers, maternal and paternal respectively ) was born on april 4th, 1960 to two of the most loving parents a child could have.

fleamont and euphemia had been trying for a child for years. they’d been together for basically all of time, having been that typical good-looking, well liked couple in hogwarts that everyone always just assumes will get married ( spoiler alert: they did ), however had had to postpone kids due to fleamont’s brief stint as a professional quidditch player for eight years following their graduation. after that, they would try every month for a child, and after many years of disappointment, eventually gave up. it was during this time that fleamont developed the sleekeazy hair potion which only added to their immense wealth. 

finally at age forty-one, they were surprised with the arrival of james. obviously, they saw him as their miracle child, and as such he was pampered and completely spoiled from the moment he was born.

i cannot stress enough how much this spoiled upbringing shaped james into the person he is today. if you’re wondering why he was ever an arrogant prick, it’s because he was always used to getting absolutely everything he ever wanted. he grew up with money, he grew up with fame and with every bit of attention he could garner, and so it was really no wonder he was a bit of an asshole by the time he started at hogwarts.

obviously, james had a pretty cushy childhood, and as such, shit didn’t start getting real until he started at hogwarts. 

it took all of three seconds for the hat to sort him into gryffindor, and i guess you could say he pretty much considered himself to be the gem of the house. he was the absolute epitome of a gryffindor, basically considered him the poster boy and all but expected everyone to love him.

really did not help his ego to know that everyone did.

in typical sterotype-gryffindor fashion, james hated slytherin. he had always been taught growing up that purists were basically the root of all evil, and his father had had no qualms in lumping all these people in with the house of the snakes. james and his friends took a particular disliking to severus snape almost immediately for the poncy way in which he seemed to believe he was superior to all for his intelligence and his house status, and this dislike only grew when lily evans was tossed into the mix, too.

for basically the first four or five years of hogwarts, james really was that stereotypical arrogant asshole that he’s often made out to be. he always got everything he asked for, he was incredibly popular and incredibly intelligent, he had the most amazing friends and his eyes on the most amazing girl. he was set!! shit was good!!

shit was not good, though. definitely was not. 

despite having known of remus’ furry little problem since second year, things didn’t really start to settle in james how awful it was until third or fourth year. he hated seeing his friend in pain, he hated that he couldn’t help, and so he rallied the boys to put into action their worst plan yet!!!!

becoming animagi!!!!!!

it took fucking forever, obviously, but by the end of fourth year they did it!! we stan icons

except then in fifth year shit hit the fan again in just, like... so many ways

first, it was the whole severus ‘mudblood’ situation. honestly, james was absolutely furious. he’d always hated snape but this just made everything 1000 times worse. even if it had happened to anyone else, he would have been fuming. but for it to have happened to lily like... yikes. 

this was also a horrible time for james though because lily rejected him for the thousandth time. like, look, what a yikes thing to think when she was just called a mudblood, but frankly he was sick of being rejected and he was sick of being the asshole who kept pressuring her so that was the breaking point --- he gave up on her. 

and tbh, he changed a lot from here on out. grew up!! became a better person bc he saw how horrible snap was and decided he was sick of horrible people!! saw, recognised and acknowledged that just bc he was hot and intelligent and rich he wasn’t always going to get everything he wanted ( see: miss evans ) and just generally learned that oh shit the world doesn’t revolve around him!!!

oh and then there was that whole thing with sirius and snape and Remus the Werewolf and ohhhh boyyyy.... that infuriated him. 

he loves his bros so much and y’all know he would die for them, but to see his friend abuse remus’ pain and suffering for his own gain was heart wrenching. it just pushed him further to pull him in line, to realise that not everything was about games, or petty rivalry, or ‘ getting the girl ’ --- life  heartache and mistakes and it was never going to go the way he wanted it to.

now look, this isn’t all to say that james is now a Super Strict, Super Intense, Brooding Weirdo. he’s still a bit of a child, and he’s still a bit of an arrogant prick, but ultimately what wins out is his morals --- every time. he wants to lead the world to a better place, without war and without hate, he wants everyone to have the same opportunities he had as a kid and he wants nothing more than for blood purity to be eradicated.

get that shit outta my house!!! gross!!!!!!

now in his final year, james is always flipping between taking his role as head boy deadly serious and turning it into one big game of mischief. he’s still a marauder at heart, after all, and has definitely abused his power sometimes for the benefit of fun and games, but when it comes down to it, he can be very strict and lowkey paternal. the leader really just.... popped right outta him, it came to play and it came hard, and really you’d think he’s minister for magic with how serious he treats it sometimes.

i hate him.

he’s a lot less intense with his hatred for slytherin’s. he has come to recognise that not everyone from that lifestyle is going to be the same, not everyone who grew up a certain way or was sorted into a certain house is going to think with a deadly mind, and while he’s still a bit wary, he’s a lot more relaxed about it, especially as head boy ( gotta at least pretend shit’s fair !!! )

ok i’m so tired this is abt to turn into a rambling mess 

uHhhHHh he’s very dependent as in like... boi cannot go a week without his friends. he is used to having people to bounce off, that’s always the type of leader he has been, and as much as he would probably be amazing at anything on his own, he’s never really tried. too scared!! i hate him!!!!!

super unforgiving. like, if you have gotten on his bad side.... i’m sorry. it is going to be very difficult to return from there. his moral compass is pretty black and white, you’re either good or your bad, and if you’ve done something he considers bad wELL sucks to be you, i guess. sorry not sorry.

takes his quidditch very seriously tbh. so many people have told him he needs to be a pro like his dad, but he’s like haha fuck you i know what i wanna do ( hint hint: he wants to rule that goddamn auror office, make that shit far more efficient then he thinks it is now ). but srsly, he’s so intense abt the game and it really like... idk gets him in the zone, keeps him level-headed in amongst all this chaos. 

i don’t know what im saying anymore pls send help

uhhhhh he’s smart. i guess. straight a’s and shit idk. just very naturally intelligent, finds everything he does easy, like.. really is that asshole who is just good at everything he does.

i’ve run out of things to say, pls just love him

WANTED CONNECTIONS

girlfriend: i hate to expose myself as a whole ass jily stan but... here i am i guess. but also, listen: he really thinks he’s over her right now. like, he truly believes his days of pestering lily evans are behind him. it was just a crush! it’s gone! ( spoiler alert: it’s not ) BUT he is so convinced that he has got himself into this relationship which is really just... a mess. like highkey it’s obvious he could never fully love her bc his Heart Belongs to Lily or whatever but he does care for her deeply and has tricked himself into believing it’s love. it’s hard, man. he’s confused. send help.

ex-girlfriend(s): more of above but like... less intense? or more intense! who knows, frankly.

childhood friend(s): i’d die for childhood friends. jake/gina dynamic? iconic. just anything, really.

odd friend: ok like... as i mentioned, he’s still kinda wary of slytherins and ppl who grew up in purist culture, but i would love love love to see someone who was one of the first to show him that not all those people are so bad. like someone from a purist family or the like who was just chill and friendly and actually befriended this asshole even when he was... well, an asshole. it’d be fun, ig. also if they eventually do end up recruited for the de’s bc of family stuff or whatever... bonus points.

rivals: i’m tired. you understand.

VOLTRON SEASON 2 SPOILER ALERT MAAAAAJOR SPOILER ALERT

SO IN LIGHT OF THE MAJOR CHARACTER ARCS FOR SHIRO KEITH AND ALLURA IM GONNA FOCUS A LITTLE MORE ON THE LESS FOCUSED ON GARRISON GANG BABIES! THIS IS GONNA GET LENGTHY JUST SO YOU KNMOW!!

---------

Alright so I just feel this serious need to rant about season 2 and the developments and everything. So I'm gonna start with:

HUNK-- my sweet baby boy who got like zero actual screen time?? Like whenever he was on he was mostly joking about food and I'm low key angry about that but i feel like that just leaves more open space for next season. B/c Hunk is supposed to be the leg that holds the team up and keeps them going (by Allura’s claim to the yellow lion). Now that Shiro’s disappeared I think that, or at least hope, that next season until they find Shiro that Hunk will end up having to take on that roll a little more. Not to say Hunk hasn't been strong for the team before. Last season they started his transition from scared and loyal pessimist to accepting his roll loyal pessimist on the Balmera. But they really didn't do much of anything with that this season he was mostly comic relief. So I'm hoping that next season while everyone’s down b/c of Shiro’s disappearance that he’ll end up having to step up a bit to be the emotional support that the team (and probably Keith most of all) really needs. 

I also really need his family and backstory!! like REALLY NEED IT ITS A MUST IM CRAVING THANKS!!

PIDGE-- got some REALLY SWEET FUCKIN SCREEN TIME CAN I JUST SAY!!! Like i wasn't really sure what was gonna happen with that but Pidge got a lot of well deserved praise and screen time!! I was a little thrown off by how the crew seemed to boost her up by making Hunk (the mechanic) and Lance (capable of actual thoughts) look like less in comparison. But aside from that i was so happy with her!! I was really happy to see them continuing showing her venturing away from “i need to find my family nothing else matters” to “i need to find my family but i have to be with my team first.” Pidge is finally accepting that she sees this team as her family too and i think it’s beautiful. Like when they were breaking out Slav (however his name is spelled??) Pidge found the footage of Matt as she was trying to find the escape route for Lance and Shiro. A part of me was like oh she’s gonna get all focused on Matt and somethings gonna go wronG AND ITS GONNA BE BAD AND OH NO but then she retraced and brought her focus back to Lance and Shiro cause they were the ones who needed her at that moment in time and she knew they were depending on her. Like they're important to her!! So much so that she put her brother to the side for them. And i almost cried. 

ALSO AS IVE MENTIONED IN EARLIER POSTS!!! Lance and Pidges fountain scene was probably one of my favorite scenes in the entire second season. like it was such a soft and fun time in a typically tense season!! and it kind of opened my eyes to another fact that i hadn't really put much thought into before: both Lance and Pidge have lost or been taken away from their siblings/family because of this whole galra and voltron deal. and unlike the other paladins they’re the only two who have show actual homesickness or conscious need to be back to their families, to know they’re safe and keep them safe. Lance very clearly misses his family on Earth, he’s afraid that they’ll think he’s dead and wants to be back with them so bad that the crew gave us that whoooole shpeel. Then we have Pidge, who’s still looking for her family along side fighting with Voltron because yes saving the universe is important as all heck but even so she can't completely set aside her brother and dad, she just can't. She misses them. She wants them safe and with her. 

The fountain scene was the first interaction between Pidge and Lance that really stood out to me regarding their relationship. The way they acted reminded me so much of how my sister and i are together. Cause they fight and pick on each other and get on each others nerves, but then sometimes something happens and all of a sudden they just CLICK and they’re on the same brain wave then, having fun together, messing around, being KIDS! I feel like Pidge and Lance are probably the two most family oriented in the group, and that being said, i think that makes them gravitate towards each other. I think it’ll make them start seeing each other even more as siblings in the next season. I'm really hoping for some Lance and Pidge bonding, comforting each other about their families, giving noogies, joking around. 

And that brings me to LANCE-- my boy who also didn't get as much screen time as i was hoping. I’ll be honest i really thought we were gonna get some actual background on lance this season because of all the hype and stuff, and the flirting got kind of excessive, but i was very happy with the scenes we did get. Like his thing with being all concerned about the mermaids, “i don't want to hurt you,” his funny as all heck explanation of the plan, my fave the fountain scene, and ESPECIALLY his fucking no scope likE DID YOU SEE MY SON!!!???!! i actually have a lot to say about Lance too so hang on.

So first off lets talk about his insecurity. I've seen other people talk about it too, but i just want to say that this is one of the things i wanted to see from Lance the most and i was really happy (though kind of sad) to get it. B/c the crew has said that Lance is going to slowly gain leadership skills and mature, and i love how they’re showing it. The biggest thing for me is that they're all teenagers, maybe 15, 16-17 year olds, Shiro’s apparently a teenager too so probably like 19?? I myself am 16 and for me its kind of wild to step back and say wow, these guys are around my age and they're keeping such a cool head it’s kind of crazy. Lance has had some of the most accurate teenage emotional development I've ever seen in a tv show though. He’s cocky, makes jokes, plays himself off as amazing. He likes to flirt and have fun, testosterone and hormones. But under all that, he’s a kid. He’s unsure of himself and insecure. He earnestly compliments everyone before doubting himself. He’s afraid he’s not really necessary. He doesn't completely understand his place. That’s really important to me b/c when that happens i tend to see myself in some way mirrored in Lance. His character being a teenager acting the way he does is so absolutely brilliantly accurate and i love it. He wasn't sure about himself being the mermaids heroes, he doubted himself before his amazing no scope shot, he got kind of defensive when Shiro picked Keith over him. He wants to be important too. 

Also the other thing that i really need more of is Lance’s backstory, his family. I need hiS FAMILY STORY. And more than anything what i need for next season is him also being a leg for the group. Lance is very emotion centered, he understands just as well as Pidge and Hunk (don't even need to mention the Alteans) the absolute pain of losing his family and the possibility of never seeing them again. I really want to see him supporting Keith especially. 

I want to see Lance put aside his cocky facade and step up to Keith and say hey, i know how it feels to lose your sibling, it’s okay, we’re here, we’ll help you. I want so badly for Pidge Hunk and Lance to comfort Keith and help keep him going after loosing Shiro. I mean yeah they're not related but Keith looks to him as a brother and he was so clearly the emotional focus at the end of the last episode. It’s gonna be really hard for him loosing Shiro because he didn't really leave a family behind on Earth, at least as far as we know going by his description and all. It’ll be like all that regret and guilt and anger and sadness from loosing his family rising up over Shiro. He’s going to need all of the team to deal with it. And they all know that loss. They’re all each other’s family now. 

Most of all i think what i need most is Lance and Hunk’s backstories and character development next season. And since we’ve already seen Pidge’s backstory, i want to see more of Pidge’s development into accepting team voltron as his family, as well as hER FINDING HER BROTHER AND DAD PLS AND THANK YOU!!! These three are so so important to me, i feel like they didn't get as much love as they could have and were kinda sidelined for most of season 2. I'm REALLY hoping that Dreamworks did that just to build up for next season. GIVE ME THE GARRISON GANG!!!
