“Run away with me.”

Narcissa looks away from her reflection in the mirror, her ballgown wedding dress white and all lace, so beautiful, so elegant yet she felt so hollow inside. She turns around to see her intruder and her heart skips a beat.

Standing there looking rattled and beautiful, Alice Fortescue, the same short hair that only she cuts, the same dangling earing in one ear, the same thumb ring that Cissy use to steal. Her beautiful Ice who she hasn’t seen in 2 years.

“Ice…” she whispered, scared that if she says it louder the beautiful girl will disappear.

Alice walked up to her and held her hands, her brave Ice always taking what she wants, always brave, always the first one to take a step. “Run away with me, Princess.”

And oh, princess, the nickname she adores so much but only when its her Alice that calls her that.

“Ice…” She whispered again. Her hands holding on so tightly to Alice’s hands that it was probably hurting Alice. “I can’t.”

Alice shook her head. “You can. I will help you, Cissy, I will do everything and we can be happy.”

Happy. Narcissa hasn’t felt that in years. The last time she ever felt that was when Alice took her on a broom ride and even though Mother and Father said it was unladylike, she enjoyed it.

“You have to go.” Narcissa said, this time louder and stronger. “You can’t be here.”

“Princess, we can be happy. Don’t you want to be happy?” Alice tried again.

She wanted nothing more than to hold Alice’s hand and run away, run towards happiness, run towards a life she has been dreaming of, run towards Alice and her beautiful smile and addictive laugh.

But Narcissa is a Black and like Regulus always says, Blacks are never happy. Blacks are destined for tragic endings and miserable life. This where she belongs and its time she lets go of unrealistic dreams.

“I love you, Ice.” Narcissa let out. “I love you so much and I want nothing more than to take your hand and leave—”

“—Then lets leave—”

“—but this is my life. My life isn’t my own.”

Alice glares at her, that Gryffindor temper that she secretly loves. “Your is yours and no one else. Come with me, please, Princess, you can have the life you want. I love you, please, give us a chance.”

Narcissa wanted nothing more than to cry and ask Alice to hold her but she knows how to turn her emotions off, knows how to hold it back. Mother drilled that into her. “Leave. You’re not safe here, Ice. I refuse to be the reason why you’ll get hurt.”

“No one can hurt me. I’m strong.” Alice argued.

Narcissa smiled, she let go of Alice hand to caress her cheeks. “Oh, my love, I know. You are the strongest person I know but my family is cruel and I refuse to let their darkness touch you.”

“I won’t let it touch you too.” Alice declares.

“If you love me,” Narcissa said, her throat closing up. “If you love me you’ll let me go.”

“Princess—”

“Listen to me, Ice, the happiest I will be is knowing you’ll be safe. Make me happy and leave me. Make me happy and keep yourself safe. Make me happy by loving me from a far and I shall do the same.”

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

i love madoka magica however i dont think we as a fandom talk enough about how tragic madoka herself is. probably because the narrative itself steers you away from thinking about her personally. shes not a character shes a desire that homura has, shes a force of good, shes homura's foil. but those are all madoka's narrative roles but madoka herself as a person is not really looked at because we are viewing this world from an unreliable narrator(homura) who only sees madoka as those things. The best thing homura could have done for madoka was give up on her, to let her go. because every time we go back in time the image of madoka is distorted, she loses more of herself every regression of homura's as she tries harder and harder to save her. We don't even know what madoka originally wished for to become a magical girl in the original timeline. and she actually acts quite differently than the madoka we meet. shes a lot more honest and caring and bold. by the time homura's has reached the actual anime madoka has been reduced by the sands of time to a figment of herself. she has no wants or desires of her own beyond wanting to do good and help her friends and when all her humanity is stripped away is when she finally acends to godhood because thats all thats left of her. an ideal and a faith in her. madoka kaname died a long time ago and all that is left is her ghost.

So I don't know if it was ever revealed how Duncan felt when we killed Malistaire all three times but I'm wondering if maybe some part of him could hate us for that too. Like you hear that and you go "but why. Malistaire was terrible and even Duncan knew that(?). Why would he hate you for getting rid of him."

But like I think it's so....... interesting in a very, very, very sad way how Duncan so easily latches onto anyone who directly feeds into his delusions of grandeur. And that's no fault of his own that he was manipulated by the nasty Schism but when you think about how desperately clung to the idea that Malistaire, easily one of the greatest necromancers any of us had ever heard of (at that time), somehow actually recognized Duncan's talents (even when canon supports that Duncan wasn't all that talented, at least no more than the next necromancer) and then praised him for it so often that Duncan believed that he would be the next Death Professor is. I mean ☹️

So like with that mindset I unfortunately feel like it would be quite easy to twist even Malistaire's death as something that's horrible and awful and all our fault. ESPECIALLY if the Schism was feeding into Duncan's already broken mind and shattered ego and was constantly telling him that everything bad that ever happened to him ever in his life was Our Fault. That's like a realistic conclusion that someone like Duncan could come to

And like, at this point in time, are Malistaire's crimes even a factor in how he thinks????? Was Duncan ever able to separate Malistaire's talent and skills and prowess from the terrible and awful things he did? If Duncan wasn't able to consciously tell that distinction in the first place I can't imagine it would be any better during the years he was being manipulated and isolated and lied to

Like in Duncan's mind it probably isn't, "maybe I shouldn't idolize a national criminal, or idolize anyone at all for that matter, and aspire to be like someone so harmful when I can recognize my own talent and build from there" it's probably more like, "you (the wizard) permanently got rid of a brilliant mind, an innocent person who just made a few mistakes, and someone who believed in me no matter what just so that you could be the better than me and loved by everyone else" and that's! very sad actually!

Orb...

+ process kinda

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

danny talking about how resentful she became when nobody who she self-sacrificed for cared when she died and then leaving kirsch with laura and carmilla bc "if he stays with me i might lose control again and kill him" kinda confirms my thoughts abt both newly-turnedness and anger making vampires more vampiry

but also makes me think that in more usual circumstances, when the dean turned vampires like carmilla and mattie, that shes really nice at the start to temper any of that unruly anger

its a bit weird that i know both of my boyfriend's exes personally and even weirder that we all look like each other because he really has a type and there's the fact that his first ex shows up all the time on my instagram and his second ex is weirdly obsessed with trying to keep contact with him even though she was the one who left him for someone else (on december 23rd !!) and she stalked me on ig and she's friends with my roommate and like. this is my first time not being my partner's first gf so it's my first time dealing with ex gfs and it's all just super weird to me
