✩ ‧₊˚ ✩。12:06 AM — SAMPO KOSKI.

notes: friends/acquaintances to lovers, mutual pining but seemingly unrequited love, confessions (kind of lol), happy ending !!, not proof read and also idek if it’s in character but idk i just want to kiss him but he’s also rly punchable so we had to work with that okay

sampo is a bit shameless—it’s what anyone would tell you. personally, you would have to agree.

“so,” he drawls, “how about it, huh? you, me, a fancy little date—”

“no,” you interrupt—it’s immediate, your response, it comes through grit teeth. “you can forget it.”

“alright, alright,” he raises his hands in surrender, “no need to get all aggressive. the sampo koski will change your mind soon enough.”

you’ve lost count how many times he’s asked you this same question. maybe it’s admirable—the way he’s so persistent. maybe it’s dangerous—the way he always gets what he’s after. most people describe sampo koski as an added headache to the already difficult life of the underworld. he’s a bit too lively for his own good, you think. but you’d describe him as pretty words and perfect teeth and cologne that makes your head spin.

you hate it.

“there won’t be any mind changing,” you say promptly.

“oh, c’mon,” he insists, voice effortlessly honeyed and so painfully alluring. “what’s the worst that could happen, huh? we have a good time?” his lips curl into that smile if his. you swallow and look away.

a lot, you want to say. the worst that can happen is a lot.

and it’s easy, you think—to reach over and fix that strand of hair that’s fallen to the wrong side of his face. it’s easy to bump shoulders with him or turn and brush your noses together and feel his hot breath as he exhales.

but that would be toying with overstepping dangerous boundaries, boundaries that are very much set in place by yourself for your own sake. sampo has saved you one too many times from a hard spot—but he’s always managed to disappear just when you think he’s reliable too. he’s too good at bending things in his favor, a little too good at getting what he wants out of everything.

it’s not hard to think what he wants from you—and it’s not hard to imagine him disappearing once again once he’s got it. the difference is you think this time…well, you think this time might just crush you.

“sampo, do you want me to punch you?” you huff, crossing your arms.

it’s late. you’re not sure why he’s gone out of his way to walk you home, but he does and you’re a tad bit grateful. you’d rather not run into a vagrant on your way—and if you do, that’s happily sampo’s problem now.

there’s something about it, about the way he’s dedicated only when there’s something to gain out of it, about the way he’s so sweet and charming as he butters you up with his actions, about the way his smile is gentle around the corners just perfectly to crack your resolve.

he’s so good at what he does—and so painfully bad for your heart. your poor, fragile heart that’s so carefully locked away from his awaiting hand. you think to give it to him would be to hand the devil your soul and trust it’s safety.

you’re not so foolish.

“hey, we’re pals, you and i,” he nudges you with his shoulder. the contact is enough to make your breath pause. “how can you be so cruel?”

there’s a pout on his lips. a perfectly rehearsed, theatrical and conniving pout on his lips that’s meant to add to his charm and chip away at your composure until you give him exactly what he’s after. for a moment, you debate whether or not you’d rather just take on a vagrant or deal with the (very attractive) disaster next to you.

“we’re acquaintances at best,” you purse your lips. “very faintly acquainted acquaintances at that.”

“well that’s just mean,” he gasps, “after all the business deals we’ve had together? i thought i’d be on your good side by now.”

that’s all you think he sees anything as. a good business opportunity. maybe he’s a good friend—he never leaves you for dead and he never really lets you down when you need him most, but perhaps that’s for his own benefit at the end. how else can you have connections if they’re all dead? but you don’t think intimacy is a word sampo uses in his every day vocabulary—much less his every day routine.

“sampo,” you snap, “drop it.”

“hey,” he eyes you, “everything alright?”

you hate that he acts like that—like he cares as his lips curl into that soft frown and his eyes gloss over in concern. it’s so carefully crafted, that mask of his, the one he can turn on to mimic every emotion he might need to fool you that he really cares and he really wants to know if you’re okay.

and you’re not—but he doesn’t need to know that.

“everything would be fine if you quit asking for your stupid date,” you grumble, “cross me off your list for the day.”

he stops walking. you kick yourself for immediately noticing the lack of warmth as soon as he’s not beside you anymore.

“what?”

it’s a simple question. one word. one syllable. yet it says so much. the hurt in his voice, the genuine confusion, the slight shock and the underlying betrayal.

“why’d you stop walking,” you raise a brow, “it’s late and i’m tired—”

“you’re changing the subject,” he cuts you off, “what do you mean list?”

“c’mon sampo, let’s not play this game tonight,” you sigh, “i’m really tired.”

“and what game are we playing?”

“the game of playing dumb,” you snap, and this time, there’s a bit more bite to your words, “the game of asking around to worm your way into everyone’s pants.”

“everyone’s pants? i didn’t know sampo koski had such a reputation,” he chuckles in that playful way of his—but there’s no charm this time, just dryness. “i didn’t know you believed it too.”

“so what am i supposed to believe? that you want to go on a date for fun?”

“that’s usually what people do on dates,” he shrugs, “have fun with people they like.”

he looks a bit wounded. it makes your heart bleed and you don’t like it. his shoulders are slumped and his eyes aren’t looking directly into yours for once—it’s like you’ve peeled off that confidence he wears like a second skin and left something a lot more tender and raw underneath.

something a lot easier to sting with the burn of rejection.

admittedly, you never thought you’d see the day where you’d feel bad for sampo after your rejection. you always thought you’d feel bad for yourself—saying no to everything you want but can’t ever really have. but he makes you feel like he wanted it too….that he’s been craving you just as badly as you’ve been craving him all this time.

“what are you—”

“listen, i….” and then he trails off. like he doesn’t have the right words. like he doesn’t know what he wants to say and has everything he wants to get off his chest all at the same time. like he needs you to know what’s on his mind. in the end, he plasters a grin on his face—one that’s tight and forced as he chuckles, “let’s get ya home, yeah? sampo koski will have you delivered to your door in once piece in no time—”

“sampo,” you sigh, “what do you want from me?”

there’s defeat in your voice. maybe hope. definitely caution.

“a date,” is all he says. “i’ve only ever asked you,” he adds, “if that’s what you’re worried about. no side deals or anything.”

that last part comes with another chuckle that really has no humor at all. it’s dry and empty and maybe even a little bitter.

“look, i appreciate the dedication, but i’d rather not be that fun hook up on the side that—”

“hey! that’s just harsh,” he gasps, “you’d think so lowly of sampo koski? after everything we’ve been through?”

sampo is good at one thing—playing the ever dedicated, ever conniving, ever charming business man. he knows how to lace in sweet words and tempting offers like how the devil whispers sins into your ears. he never cracks, never lets that facade fall even when he’s backed into a corner.

except this time, you don’t think it’s a facade. you think it’s a wall to keep you from noticing the pure heartbreak in his eyes.

it fills you with guilt instantly. it makes you almost hate yourself for not seeing good in him. it makes you feel blind for not noticing all the signs he’s been dropping for so long—signs you know he’s never given anyone else.

who else does he bump shoulders with and walk home in the dark and flick foreheads and make time for even when he’s on a tight schedule? who else gets to hear him talk about his day for just the sake of talking without and not a guise for a deal?

for a second you feel bad—and then you decide that for once, you’ll do something about it.

“sampo koski is always disappearing,” you say softly, taking a step forward, “what if he disappears this time too?”

“sampo koski always comes back,” he reminds you, heart on his sleeve as he meets you half way.

“always?” you ask hopefully.

he nods, like it’s the surest thing he’s promised. “of course.”

“okay, sampo,” you chuckle breathlessly, whether in joy or in disbelief, you’re unsure. maybe both. your hand cups his cheeks and when he leans into it, you decide it’s definitely both. “let’s go on your date. you’re paying.”

“you didn’t have to bring money into it,” he pouts—but the excitement in his voice is almost tangible.

you giggle, squeeze his cheeks together as his hands find your waist. it’s dark and it’s late and you’re tired—but sampo koski is here and nothing else has ever mattered more.

“i expect only the best date from the sampo koski.”

“good,” he grins, charming as ever, a little extra only for you, “because sampo koski never disappoints.”

you kiss him after that. and every day too.

i have been bewitched by the meathead guys 😔

Oh I am having, so so many thoughts about the Hunter yeeted to the human realm AU of the princess AU (Good Lord this Au has so many AUs which is why we love it) Assuming this happens as like, a part of the year of hell and near the end of it (like, just prior to mainline aus patricide) Hunter is just going to be, a complete wreck, especially depending on what Belos tells him about why he was sent (which if it makes Luz look bad he won't believe but might nonetheless fuck with him) and one, dealing with being locked in Camila's basement.

Things would probably end up very very murder the Emperor very quickly (ie once he's satisfied he has her sufficiently 'under control' and the second Luz gets the oportunity )... so this might end up being a very short lived situation. But... Belos being the inconsiderate jerk he is used some fancy spell where if he dies it blows up idk he wouldn't want it being used after his death though that's for sure) so Luz is stuck being The Empress (assuming things go well) without her Hunter there for her. Maybe like in some other AUs she would have Amity's (maybe dragging her in on the patricide plan) but that's it... the poor baby.

Amity (depending on her situation) might be trying to help in the same way Hunter does but is failing miserably for all of the reasons whilst being slowly driven insane. I can see Luz going to Darius and Raine for help if for no other reason than that she has nobody else.

But I'm imagining, after several months of barely getting through the day... with the adults around her barely keeping her functional, with Amity having fallen into the role of "be in the room when she has nightmares and try not to panic about anything" Hunter returns with Camila (and maybe Vee depending on how things go in the human realm) in tow.

"Heyy... sorry about being in another dimension for the past few months not not successfully killing Belos on the spot so I could be with you I will consider this a personal failing for the rest of my life.... But i did just bring back a wayyy better parental figure who... by sheer coincidence, is your actual Mom."- Hunter probably

from this concept

it's been a couple days since you sent this but i'm still thinking about all of this. trying to imagine what belos tells hunter.... my main thought is it paralleling what he tells luz in TTT. "thank you so much for all your help, hunter. but i don't need you anymore. and Neither Does She"

coming off the year of hell and all of luz's secrecy, hunter would For Sure interpret this as "belos has started physically abusing luz and has no intention of stopping." to say he'd be frantic is. An Understatement. in the main timeline canon he assumes belos killed luz without any provocation... having Actual Proof that belos has cruel intentions toward her would make him. well.

Very Upset! to say the least!

i'm not sure if he'd actually end up locked in camila's basement here, though. he clearly can't GO anywhere else. and he's in a Damn State. after her initial panic, once she'd calmed down and gotten up to speed on the situation, vee would be.... perhaps not Fully understanding, but at least less afraid. like. i think she'd lock her own door and she'd carry around a weapon whenever she went downstairs for snacks, but i dunno if they'd go the full imprisonment route.

unless hunter offered. which.... now that i'm thinking about it, he Absolutely would. hunter being like i know humans hate witches and you especially have reason to hate me but if you can get me back to the isles then you can do whatever you want to me. i won't fight i Promise

meanwhile luz is frantically trying to get to the human realm because belos is so confident that there are still witch hunters there & she does Not remember enough about modern human society to dispute it. amity For Sure clocks that luz killed belos, the same way she does in the main timeline. and she ALSO has a vested interest in getting hunter back (because he is her best friend) because she needs a rival who can best her in combat. AND she's trying to keep lilith together, which means she's often in proximity to luz anyway. so there's a lot of opportunity for her to be like. luz. are you okay?? you Have to pull it together

i think raine would insert themself politically even if luz didn't ask, because she CANNOT focus on policy right now. and it is sort of important for her to focus on policy while she's trying to govern. darius meanwhile has a similar interest to amity in getting to the human realm because what do you MEAN belos tossed his kid the little shit into hostile territory and abandoned him???

man. the sheer amount of relief luz would experience when hunter comes back. Unparalleled. girls who are going to throw themselves on him and burst into tears in the middle of the throne room.....

[m-ilkiee]

HIII IM BACK!! Sorry if this doesn’t make any sense btw. My mind is lowkey blank rn, and idek what I say sometimes. Anyways ONTO THE TOPIC.

First off all, Mikey… Sigh, where do I even start… He’s interesting to me. For me, he's hot and cold, and he switches up so fast that he’d most likely give you a whiplash (could be because of his dark impulse? I’m not sure yet). Speaking of that, when would his dark impulse come out? Or when would it “shine” the most? I’m curious how the reader would react to that or how it’ll impact the story. Very many different ways, and they all will be terrible I’m sure… I’m so excited for new updates but also hella fucking terrified lmao. I’d say out of the two, I think Mikey is a bit more lenient. Not to say he’s not cruel, but he wouldn’t be AS cruel to her like Izana would. Though, since he doesn’t physically abuse reader, I can tell his mind games bouta be CRAZYYYY. MANIPULATIVE MF ISTG. That scene in the car still traumatizes me. Mf had the audacity to put the blame and shame on HER WHEN HE FUCKING QNDJFKFK IM SO MAD JUST THINKING ABOUT IT AAAA. Also, this is probably a minor detail, but him in a criminology class is lowkey funny to me lol. I’m surprised he’s actually attending classes. Does Izana do the same? Or would he not give a fuck?

Next, Izana. You crazy mf imma strangle you too- Mf said “I’m a king so kneel☝️🤓” BITCH U LOOK LIKE A LASH BUG STFU- (me when I know my dumbass would fold immediately when he told me that). Chapter 2 got me soooo fucked up, especially towards the end. My only saving grace is Kakucho fr, ik he’d never let me down🤞🤞 Izana is also manipulative af, but he’s ALSO not afraid to get physical with reader if he has to. I feel like the only reason why he DOESN’T is because of Emma. Or else the reader would’ve been 6 feet under I fear…HOWEVER!! I saw the post of a small spoiler for chapter 3, the one where he’s talking with Kisaki. Even though I’m not quite sure yet, when Kisaki asks Izana if he’s feeling guilty for pushing the reader to the edge like that, THAT got me thinking. Can Izana of all people feel guilty for almost making her commit suicide? He did say he thought about killing her himself at first, so what’s stopping him really? I have a feeling he wouldn’t develop any romantic feelings for her (yet?) this early on in the series (but I could be wrong, who knows), so why is he bothered at the thought of her dying? Killing people left and right is like a normal Tuesday for him. What do you think? I’m curious.

Damn… this makes me think, what would happen if the reader isn’t friends with Emma? Would she attract the attention of those two? Or would they not interact at all? I think they most likely wouldn’t treat her as badly since she doesn’t affect their relationship with Emma in any way if they aren’t friends, but then again, it’s Mikey and Izana we’re talking about… For some reason, I think Izana would be the first one to notice the reader instead of Mikey. I think her kind and gentle nature would catch his attention without them interacting since I’m sure he’s very perceptive (which is interesting considering how he is.) As for Mikey…would he even go for someone like her in the first place? Ik everyone’s game to him but idk, I feel like Mikey prefers someone who can keep up with him in a way, or at least matches his energy u know? She’s so fragile, he gon break her…

Okay, enough yapping for now lmao. I really enjoy talking about this with you!! It’s very very fun :)) (I have no one else who knows about monsters to yap to😔)

Okay okay

To answer your question, yep, it is the dark impulses that makes Mikey acts that way, especially around people that make him tick. And oh boy the further Monsters goes as a story, the more outspoken those dark impulses would be for him towards reader. You're completely spot on about Mikey being lenient with reader, as long as she does what he says and accepts his gifts or affection when he gives it, then everything will be fine. Eventually it won't be enough to just do what he says because of how unhinged he'd become as he loses himself to the darkness. As for reader, she's slowly realizing that there's something wrong with Mikey and she's going to try her best to placate Mikey whene those dark impulses eventually seep out until she can't take that kind of abuse anymore.

Izana does nawt like to attend classes. He pays someone to do it for him. Mikey enjoys his classes sometimes but hates how boring lectures can be

Izana is someone that would NOT hesitate to smack reader if she said something he didn't like ONCE. Really, he HAS gotten rid of people that pissed him off once, reader is lucky that Emma cared about her or he would have sold her into prostitution and nobody would have known. As for that snippet, that was based on the old chapter 2 before the edit, but Izana isn't completely heartless towards the reader. He has thought of murdering her himself, but at the same time he feels pity for her since she's as good as an orphan with how her parents abandoned her like his did. So that's what I think.

If she wasn't friends with Emma, her treatment would be far better, but not exactly good. Izana would be the first to notice her, but when he does get reader, she'd be more of a pet or an object rather than a human being to him. Mikey may not even have noticed her unless something makes their paths cross, and even then, she isn't his type of girl.

I really LOVE your asks sooo much. Thank you for yapping with me about monsters. Feel free to yap in my inbox anytime any day.

Morgwen Bodyguard!AU where it's the whole gang in mostly modern times. This is extensive, bear with me.

Through some series of events I haven't thought of yet England has not become England as we know it yet though most of history remains the same and Uther Pendragon is King Regnant of Albion, and he does about just as good a job rearing two kids as he does running a country and has a great vast many enemies so his heir apparent Crown Prince Arthur and his ward Morgana, now Duchess of Gorlois after the death of her 'father', are now in desperate need of a constant detail of bodyguards.

enter gwen and the gang

his capital city can only bear to send CIS' - Camelot Intelligence Services - finest on recommendation by his own friend and personal physician. Sends him 2 3-cell teams of their best intelligence agents or at least, least likely to kill each other while guarding bodys yknow.

And Morgana gets hers. Her team leader, sniper and combat specialist Lancelot, ex combat pilot turned all around agent Elyan and to her immense surprise, Elyan's super super gorgeous sister, Guinevere.

Arthur gets his cell, team leader Leon his getaway driver and head strategist, defense and combat specialist Gwaine and hacker Merlin, though the poor boy gets a secondary job as Arthur's PA too which takes up much of his time.

Morgana's spent every moment of her life that she can remember simpering with high society boys and girls, all of them either vapid and idiotic or worse yet, cruel and calculating and never ever has she met a woman more fascinating than Gwen. She's her new personal assistant much like Merlin is Arthur's, with an eidetic memory and the management skills of Hannibal fucking Barca, a parisian boutique's worth of seamstress ability and the personal upkeep, maintainence and even some smithing of all her cell's weapons. She runs shit like the navy and when Morgana asks why she isn't team leader, Gwen just laughs and oh man is her laugh pretty, and shrugs, "someone needs to be focused solely on you yknow." While looking at her with the biggest doe-iest eyes and Morgana finds herself blushing a lot more?? Beaming ear to ear, too. And

Idk Morgana dragging Gwen off to galas and Gwen taking her off to more low key spots, the club perchance, and Gwen getting wowed by morgana's rapier wit and political acumen and Morgana getting wowed by this absolutely radiant beam of sunshine who snatched a gun out of a mugger's holster before he could do anything and popped some other dude 30 paces away without a hair out of place and adventures. Gwen absolutely despises Uther, Morgana hates all the snooty folk that expect Gwen to kowtow to them. Gwen finds that though her job is to personally assist, the Duchess is actually quite nice, fiercely loyal to her as if just the doing of her job is enough to warrant such, though shes achingly lonely so maybe that's why, is very funny, and kind, and compassionate if a little impulsive and rash, and comes up with the funniest insults imaginable murmured directly into her ear as she stands at her post in the back of x meeting of uther's privy council or y public function. Also that her eyes are theeee most brilliantly clear shade of green, like the still clear pond near her house, like garnet-

Morgana has awful nightmares of totally not suspicious events that come true an odd amount of the time and Gwen is receiving back Intel from CIS and Uther about potential stirring of war from a King Cenred across ye Olde channel and they go on cool car chases and maybe there's a shopping montage or two but yea. Idk how to end this but uther realizes he doesn't have to die a shitty old man and legitimizes Morgana as a princess of the blood before he chokes and when she and Gwen get married it's princess style babyyy

Oh and definitely morgana giving herself up to some assailants cuz gwen is hurt and some baddies cracking poor morgana on the head and Gwen frantically trying to keep her awake and morgana is just griiiiiinning at her all restored even as concussed as she is cuz this angel is cupping her face in her hands and yea, that thing

Nymrod ''A Silver-y coated Fool''

Backstory Blurb;

Nymrod was a High Half Elf Silver Dragonic Bloodline Sorcerer who tried to become a fashion designer despite his family's high demands and expectations. He particularly disliked his innate magic as he had the tendency to freeze things when he got nervous.

As a result of his unstable powers and clumsiness, no one would take him as an apprentice so he had to teach himself how to sew. Struggling with what to do with his misfortunes, he briefly joined a band of friends on a few adventures, realizing he really disliked contributing to conflict and fighting. During a tour to Elturel, he got really drunk and passed out.. Only to awaken when Elturel was pulled into Avernus. The sudden shift of planes for some reason changed him into a Dainty, soft looking Tiefling, unrecognizable to himself and his friends. They swiftly abandoned him in order to flee. Left with little else to hold onto, Nymrod is who he became. Acting docile, foolish and helpless, his appearance and behavior gave him his name, a combination of ''Nymph'' and ''Nimrod'' Passed around several devils as a pretty pet to look at. Hiding his intelligence and using his charm to remain unharmed. When Nymrod was about to be sold to one particularly cruel Devil in exchange of dozens of soul coins, Raphael ended up coming to his rescue. The Cambion recognized Nymrod's facade, becoming the only safe space were Nym's intelligence was genuinely recognized. Nym is very indifferent about the conflict surrounding Avernus as he had to prioritize his own survival. Due being abandoned by his only friends in his time of need, he stopped caring for those who do not value him. Since then he has gotten used to his body, still feeling somewhat strange about it. Some inconsistencies might exist in the blurb, but he is an OC, casual oc. He wouldn't exist in the same universe as the videogame per sé, so no tadpole or mindflayer business. He's not an adventurer, so not very experienced in combat- avoids it.

Idk I like the idea of ''very evil half devil has soft spot for a very unlucky dude'' cuz I enjoy fluff as much as I enjoy angst.

*people in the house of hope literally being tortured, screaming in the background* Nymrod: Hmm. I feel inspired.. *sketches outfit ideas* Raphael: *sips from a glass of brandy* The songs they sing in the morning are the most spirited. Nymrod: Oh, should I add some more skulls in this pattern??

I don't think Nymrod is evil, but rather- indifferent? He had no room to care for others, being isolated for so long. He no longer has that passively active empathy he used to before Avernus. Too much shit happened..

Might write some fic later, idk. I don't feel confident in writing Raphael to be honest, but I want to describe Nym's story a bit more. I don't really intend on drawing it actively as I have other projects.

Nym would get along with Haarlep pretty well, sassy bitching.

Some other things about Nymrod.

-Freezing things when nervous still happens, but given that they're in hell- it just turns into water right away half of the time. ''Did you have an oopsie?'' Haarlep would probably joke around that Nym is a bedwetter.. -He sometimes sheds the scales, but they regrow on the exact same locations. Skin gets a little overly sensitive during this time. -He purrs! Isn't sure why, but it happens. -As a Half Elf, his hair was much darker, he used to wear very dark clothing, but after settling in his new form he prefers light colors. Mostly pink. -As a Fierna Tiefling and sorcerer, Nym's charm spell happens mostly subconsciously, it's gotten him out of trouble many times. -He sold his previous name to a Fey who was wandering in the Hells while he was still held captive as a caged pet. The fey gave him a blessing that makes him naturally lucky out of pity in exchange. He doesn't remember his old name or previous personality much, but he does remember his life before Avernus. He has no attachment to his old life. -Nym had no close friends or relatives when he was abandoned by his family. His only friends were the adventuring group, or so he thought.. -He is clingy, bit of a damsel. Would still throw ice at someone as a last resort. Not great at aim though. Would probably die in 2 hits. -Plays with his tail absentmindedly when he's bored, still unfamiliar with the limb at times. -Tailwag when he's excited. -He really really really likes how his body looks after the change, but it did take some getting used to. -His horns have very sensitive nerve endings. -Insecure in the bedroom, but only because he's inexperienced. His only previous sexual encounters were while drunk, has an alcohol problem but isn't addicted. He just doesn't know when to stop drinking. When given the chance he will drink until he passes out. -Whenever possible, he will make or design clothes for Raphael and Haarlep. Has his own little atelier room to work on these things. -Throws little pouty tantrums when his clothing or work gets stained. -Crybaby, very easily overstimulated. Cries when stressed. -Smarter than he makes himself out to be, loves puzzles. Has solved very intricate and difficult puzzles on a whim before. -Raphael exclusively calls him ''Nimphy'' when greeting him. -Settled for being spoiled or treated as a pet pretty easily, has kept the collar with his name on it since he first got it. He feels safer while wearing it. I might draw responses to specific questions about Nymrod actually. Feel free to flood my inbox lol, if you want me to draw this oc in specific situations..

spot that meets a autistic reader, that is talkative to themselves, but has poor social skills because (lack of good parenting + bullys, but is very smart and loves art and engineering, and dreams to be a scientist one day.. it could began as the reader first feared him over an awkward moment? to opening up about themselves and the reader's obsessive fascination over him. two very talented ppl that only wants to be appreciated, respected and loved...💔

idk is it to much?? bruh I'm trying to be creative😭 I'd be happy with whatever happens!. aNd TaKe yO tiME!! On irl things and beloved spotty <3

Spot w/ an autistic reader!

Rubs my autistic little hands

Feeling a lil drowsy but I wanna chuck this out before I fall asleep for (possibly) the next 7 hours :3

Not proof read we die like Peter Parker <\\3 we are sleepy and tumblr wont let me save drafts for asks <\3

Obligatory "I like this character so I'm hcing him to be ND like me" touch

He gets it

Anyways

I think to help make the whole thing less jarring, or whatever, is that you may have known each other vaguely before the collider incident

You weren't a scientist at alchemax, more like.

Well shoot I just forgot the term but like, you work there, but you dont do hands on experiments, not experienced enough yet

Intern?

Maybe, idk

Obviously you don't work there anymore after the collider blowing up, so... you're looking for a new job

You knew about Jonathan, but you weren't friends

You had also heard rumors about what happened to him but you kinda dismissed it as cruel rumors surrounding his death.. I mean no one could've survived that explosion.. right?

So imagine your surprise when you end up almost getting robbed by spot

Can you blame him? He hasnt found another job since the accident and hes probably living off of pity handouts; likely homeless

Now hand over the wallet!!/j

No but on the semi likely chance that you manage to defuse the situation, given Spot sucks as a criminal, you just bluntly ask if the whole

Rumor thing is true

I mean obviously it is but confirmation is important

After a few more chance encounters, you guys both finally decide to properly sit down and talk

Its tense and awkward at first since 1. How does one even act around someone like spot? He's vulnerable but also trying to do the whole. Revenge thing... And 2. Hes desperate for human interaction and it SHOWS, it's almost uncomfortable actually

But you both trudge past it and make it work

One meet up turns into two then three; then you discover how much hes struggling and

Now you're roomates

Oh my god they were roommates/ref

Anyways, that's the set up!! It kinda felt wrong to just. Jump into it without some explanation on how yall end up in the same area consistently

Doesnt mind that you mumble to yourself, he probably does the same thing. From muttering things to keep his train of thought to having a personal monologue, I wholeheartedly believe he does the same thing

Hs understands how it feels to be. Not treated very good, he likely wasnt the most respected in alchemax so it's not uncommon for the two of you to have vent sessions where you both let it all out

You ask him about his journey to becoming a scientist and not so subtly ask for advice on how to get into the field; and touching onto the whole human interaction thing, hes more than willing to talk your ear off about his entire career history

On the chance you dont want to do physics stuff, and you wanna do another branch of science he's all ears on listening to you ramble, may even lend a hand in getting you to where you need to be career wise

Yall do at home experiments as bonding stuff

Look if spot can make a mini collider in some building then I can only imagine the type of shit yall get up to at home

Oh? You're still curious about.. him? Of all things, him?

He never thought anyone would look at him with interest; usually its disgust or fear, or both

Hes hesitant at first because what if you discover something that'll totally change your view of him?

Takes (some, a little) coaxing

Bro caves fast, he misses physical touch

"So like, these holes-" you proceed to just. Dip your entire fist into a hole and watch said fist pop out from another hole

The demons are telling me to make reader like

Make it a game to try to throw stuff through his holes but I feel like that would be really mean, no one likes stuff getting thrown at them

Please dont throw stuff through his holes :(

Random but like

Idk if this happens with yall but

If someone stims do yall. Like stim back

Like I have vocal stims and mess with my hands; and sometimes my friend will be prompted to stim if I stim??

Idk but yall do that

OHOH before I post this if you're both comfy with physical touch please please please hold him, it's been so so long since someone has hugged him and he really really needs it :(

[sbk-zgvlt]

Grgrgrgr thinking about the inherent tension between Lilia and Baul. Like. Idk, I think the Neige and Sebek thread sparked this thought but. Lilia and Baul had to have worked together tbh (and I think Baul’s gonna appear. Like I think that’s unavoidable. Maybe not in the main story (should be in the main story tbh/hj) but maybe in a Briar Valley event?

Anyway Lilia adopting Silver and slowly falling out with Baul because he’s just so judgmental. This is a baby, it’s not a monstrosity or w/e. Anyway he ends up distancing himself from Baul reluctantly while Mr and Mrs Zigvolt (forgot your hc names and I’m two paragraphs in, sue me/lh) help him with Silver.

And then Mrs Zigvolt gets pregnant/has an egg/whatever again.

Perhaps it’s sort of Lilia’s fault that Sebek grows up around his grandfather? Perhaps he thought that if he could change because of a little bundle of human joy, a little bundle of half-human half-fairy joy could do the same for Baul. Perhaps Lilia encouraged Sebek’s parents to get Baul to help raise Sebek after being somewhat out-of-touch with Sebek’s siblings.

But then it doesn’t work. And by the time they realize Baul didn’t change and Sebek’s reflecting him he’s already got the bad mindset ingrained in him. So Lilia decides to have him over to hang out with Silver more.

It curbs it, yes, but not as much as they’d like. Sebek’s still got the bad mindset, he’s just less… cruel about it? Something. Idk.

And all of this because Lilia wanted to rebuild a bond with someone he was so close with

This was kinda just me word vomiting but :(! Idk

OH MY GODDD Lilia being a huge contributor to how Sebek is in the present.

You think that Lilia lowkey resents Baul for how he strained their relationship over his own prejudice? This resentment becomes worse when Esme has another child, and Baul never dares to be in the same room as the young, innocent egg swaddled in blankets.

But one day, Lilia spots him in Sebek's room, hand a few centimeters above Sebek's egg, but not really touching. He looks unsure. Scared. Vulnerable. And Lilia thinks, "Oh." There's hope.

So, he tries to get Esme and Lidaeus to drop off Sebek by Baul's from time to time. They reluctantly say yes, looking over at Sebek's egg with some concern. Then, Sebek hatches.

And he inherits everything from his father.

Before, Baul voiced out his dislike for Sylvie and Soleil. Now, he refuses to even look at Sebek at all. The resentment returns, but Lilia can't let go of the Baul that looked at Sebek's egg with an adoring look in his mind. So, he gives him another chance. He tells Esme and Lidaeus to leave Sebek by Baul's whenever they're too busy or out of town.

And they're always busy.

By the time Lilia has realized that his friend will always be stuck living in the old times, Sebek has already taken after Baul. His smug smirk. His passionate fire. His way with words.

And his hatred for all things human.

But all Lilia sees is wrong. Because Sebek is just a kid. A half-fae, half-human kid. Who hates a part of himself that he can't even control. All because of the sins of a grandfather.

Esme and Lidaeus are surprised when Lilia suddenly demands for them to stop bringing Sebek over to Baul. Esme readily agrees, already seeing Baul's personality in Sebek and she does not want that for her child. It's far too late, though.

It doesn't help that they live in a town where everyone's mother, father, sister and brother dislikes humans. They let Sylvie and Soleil into their community only because they're much more fae-like, but Sebek looks far too human.

And Sebek, with his young, developing mind, hates that he is human and hates the fact that's all everyone sees. He can't even rely on his mother, who only casts a disapproving look his way whenever he acts too much like his grandfather. But, Grandpa Baul always told him that being human was being filthy.

So, why was mama thinking him filthy for acting fae? Was it just him? Was being fae and human only filthy if it was Sebek? Why was everyone trying to pull him to one side? He just wants to be.

But he is too young to form the right words out to explain how he feels, and can only bury himself deeper his father's side as he fights with the snake fae's parents next door, smearing the blood from his head on Lidaeus' right pant leg.

His father's grip on him tightens when the snake's mother snarls out why a weak, pathetic half-human like Sebek was allowed to be born.

All Sebek can do is cry.

Idk it’s actually almost hilarious that they made Dracula in Netflixvania just… Some guy

You could argue that the show ‘tried’ to showcase him as an extremely intelligent and powerful being but if you remove the part where he’s old and has a house that moves and he’s literally no different than any other vampire so all that build up was for absolutely fucking nothing. In Netflixvania vampires ruling large sectors of land isn’t special [Especially when Camilla says something about her being a regional ruler like that’s borderline insignificant], vampires having supernatural powers isn’t special, vampires being intelligent beyond their era isn’t special. Dracula isn’t special.

I’m not sure if they just missed the point of his character that badly or if they genuinely didn’t know how to make him a cruel, obsessive, vengeful monster AND a merciful, loving, compassionate father and husband even though those two aspects of his character are so intrinsically linked they can’t be separated.

They tried making him a father and husband and they tried making him a monster but for one reason or another they couldn’t do both so his entire character was watered down at best

Dracula lost all dignity the moment Carmilla #girlbossed into the throne room:

Look at him. He can't even tell his own court to be silent. Maybe you should try to raise your voice, genius?

And then there's Carmilla. She literally stands there, smug as hell, and her very first course of action is to blame Dracula for moving the castle around, insult his generals for being incompetent and in disarray, and oh, question him in front of everyone why didn't he just turn Lisa? What, did he like having a pet? Like, the sheer amount of blatant, brazen disrespect!

(I also misremembered Carmilla's line. I thought the implication was "well, had you turned her, she would still be alive". No, she just deadass calls Lisa his pet. In front of him.)

... Dracula does nothing to her.

Oh, he pretends to be furious, red eyes and all. But he only asks her "why did you do that?" (after some personal smalltalk, may I add) and Carmilla is like "eh everyone is thinking the same thing, so I wanted to put you on the spot <3", and... nothing happens from here. He's like "welp, nothing I can do to her, she can rejoin the others".

Do I need to say what Dracula does to people who disrespect him?

And this is his prized General whom he needs. Not a random "regional ruler", one of many.

Also look at Carmilla's mannerisms in the second scene. She's like "yes?" with a cocked eyebrow and a hand on her hip, before shifting to a more respectful stance. She's lying out of her sparkly ass. This is as subtle as a taser to the balls.

I'm not impressed by Carmilla's manipulations when literally everyone around her is a giant, steaming idiot.

Also, another thing that bothers me. Dracula in S2 is frequently depicted in his... private quarters, I think? This room with the fireplace. And look at the framing:

Carmilla is standing above Dracula, who is slumped in a low, unassuming chair.

Framing matters to convey how important a character is. Observe:

Dracula in S2 is constantly put on the same level as his subordinates. This is made even more blatant in the scene where he asks Isaac if he's still his friend, where he sits next to him.

Dracula is not a ruler in S2, and it was done on purpose. He is portrayed as a depressed old man who only wants to die and take everyone else with him, and he has lost his mind so much that Carmilla can take the reins for herself. The OCs all sit around and talk about him as if he's a delusional idiot, looking down on him, and we're supposed to think they have a point because they are never challenged on it. This is the main villain of the franchise. The fucking FRANCHISE and SHOW are named after HIS DAMN CASTLE! He's kind of important!

Shankar talks as if he had the idea of turning Dracula into a tragic figure, but he did not. That has been a core part of his character since SoTN. And expanding on it would have worked fine! But they went way too far in that direction, and forgot that yes, Dracula is a grieving husband with a complicated relationship with his son, yes he can feel emotions... but he's also the fucking Dark Lord with the legions of Hell under his command, he can curse and possess and shapeshift and you do not fuck with him unless you're a Belmont or you have Dracula's own power by your side.

And as I said, the fact that Trevor can barely scratch this neutered version of Dracula only speaks poorly of him too.

thoughts on the ferolind esque scene in episode eight?? Personally I was screaming at my screen the entire time 😂 I still can't stop thinking about it!!!! Freddy and Amita are so so talented. OH also what are your thoughts on show Wesper?

Hello!!! I am sorry this is a few days late- after I opened my asks the other night, I promptly realized I had left my laptop charger elsewhere... in true fanfic-authorTM fashion. <3 PS- for any others reading this, spoilers ahead for both the books & the show! Be warned, wary tag scrollers.

BUT

Regarding your first question & the Ferolind-esque scene in the Chapel... I loved loved hearing that line of dialogue on screen. It was a beautiful portrayal by both Freddy & Amita and I genuinely don't think they could have done such a pivotal scene adaptation from the books any better. <3

HOWEVER... I do wish to be honest about the fact that I think the weight of those words were not quite as heavy for non-readers. This is because in the show, we did not get a real focus on Inej's own issues regarding intimacy/ the amount of trauma she herself possesses. Now, I do firmly believe that the showrunners/writers intend for her backstory to take a firmer foothold on the screen in either the SoC spinoff or S3, but I cannot shake the belief that they should have pushed Inej's story to an equal with Kaz's in some aspect THIS season. I watched the show with someone who has not read the books, and for him, he didn't understand why Inej said those words to Kaz beyond essentially saying "Please just hurry & heal", which was never what "I will have you without your armor, Kaz Brekker, or I will not have you at all" really meant. At least, it was never so simple to me (nor I suspect most of the fandom).

I can't help but worry that this was the same for other viewers with no detailed knowledge of Inej's past. I do also recognize that netflix needed to cut much out in order to merge so much material. Yet I firmly believe without Inej's internal monologues of the book nor external flashbacks/ conversations (as they did with Kaz), it is harder to grasp her words as meaning more than literal. Or, in some contexts, almost cruel. Which Inej never was, not once.

Anyways, I almost would have preferred to see a line of dialogue in the vein of "It's not easy for me either", in order to portray Inej's own depth of understanding in how hard it is for Kaz, because she too battles her own mind & PTSD.

This is all to say, I adored the scene. I understand why the writers did it, and I am glad they did if only for ensuring we did get to see it, no matter what happens with renewals etc. I also think a few small changes could have led to a more balanced representation of Kaz & Inej's intricate relationship. I know this is a lot of thoughts, but because I've spent so long writing for kanej, I obviously value their characters too much to stop my writer's mind.

I guess, for me, the epitome of Kaz & Inej's relationship is true equality, and I don't know that it carried over to the show as much as I wish it would have. TL;DR: I loved the scene and the characterization was gorgeous. I think one or two things could have made it even better. <3

WESPER

Your second question... I honestly loved them in the show. Of course it was very different from the books, but... Idk. Somehow, the heart of it was still so very much them. I think it was genuinely sweet in a way, that they were able to just... push forward with their love story on the screen. <3

Kit & Jack are somehow ripped from SoC, their portrayal was SPOT ON. I cannot commend them enough. Sincerely. <3

Thank you for being here & asking!!! I am just excited to rave with fellow fans. <3 Also I commend you if you read this whole thing, I know I'm long winded...

i rly like the complexity of mc’s relationships..? like w karina, how they both end up lashing out and saying some cruel things, on both ends. like i think it’s pretty understandable where karina is coming from, but i also get the severe amount of insecurity that mc is dealing with. the worst things to hear are the things that are cruel, but have a little grain of truth to them — it’s infinitely harder to shake off. like mc clearly has issues — and bad ones. she’s absolutely hurting the people around her, and in several cases, they’re hurting her too — like with jeno, or with karina. it’s sooo easy to see everything in a really pessimistic way when you’re as insecure/unhappy as mc is, but she’s also too scared to wholly face her problems. idk it hit a lil close to home :( but this was a really, really great part — probably my favorite so far.

the more i read, the more and more excited i get for getting to read the end of love me back and also jeno’s part (im soooo insane abt jeno. and jaemin tbh), i’m really enjoying your writing :,)

also my professor actually made me cry bc she was a lot nicer than i expected 🥲🥲🥲 i appreciate the offer to throw punches though 🫶🫶🫶

thank you so much for this—it honestly means a lot that you’re picking up on all the nuance and complexities in mc’s relationships, because that’s such a huge part of the story. i completely agree with what you said about the worst things being the ones that hold a little truth—they’re like splinters that stick with you, and for someone as insecure as mc, it’s impossible to ignore. karina’s outburst isn’t fair, but at the same time, it’s so human. she’s hurt, frustrated, and overwhelmed, and those emotions just explode in ways that aren’t always rational or kind. and then there’s mc :(( she’s just carrying so much self-doubt that even the smallest jab can feel like confirmation of her deepest fears. she lashes out too, and it’s not pretty, but it’s very much tied to that fear of being unworthy or unlovable.

you’re spot on about how she’s hurting the people around her, whether she means to or not, and how they’re hurting her too. it’s a messy cycle that feels endless when you’re in the thick of it, and mc is just too afraid to really confront her issues. it’s easier to avoid, to spiral, to project, than it is to sit down and face yourself honestly—and that’s a huge part of what i’m trying to explore with her. i love that this part resonated with you, even if it hit a little too close to home—those complex, raw moments are the ones that really stick with me too when i’m writing. she’s flawed, imperfect but oh she does love and does have a kind heart… it’s just underneath a lot of exterior !

and omg, i’m so glad you’re excited for the rest of love me back! jeno’s fic is something i’m super excited about too because he’s just… ugh, so layered. i feel like the more we unravel his perspective, the more it’s going to shift the way you see everything. i’m really excited to delve into his. as writing jeno is my specialty :) and it’s kinda gonna be an enemies to lovers fic?. thank you again for such a thoughtful message, it’s honestly comments like this that keep me inspired to keep writing :) also i thought the talk was bad omg… what’s the good news?

He's obviously a royal and reader is just... weird(like maddy hatter??)

idk, i would like to see what you do with it

No pressure or rush to do it though!! <3

yessss this is amazing. steve is just yet another charming and y/n can be maddie's sister i suppose (adopted ofc- it's established in the eah universe that adoption doesn't really change the flow of destiny so)

warnings: fem!reader, slight angst, mild family issues

Steve Charming had only one year of peace before his family's expectations for him started weighing painfully on his shoulders. His brother Daring was born on April 2, a year and seven months after Steve, and that very day was the day Steve's life began to fall apart.

Steve was your average Charming - handsome, heroic, exceptionally athletic - but compared to his younger brother Daring, he was simply never good enough. He was the eldest child but treated more like the middle one, in between Daring's excellence and his other younger brother, Dexterous's, failure. Daring was given the expectation to fill the role of Snow White's Prince Charming, the most highly regarded fairytale in all of Ever After, while Steve and Dexter were expected to wait till Legacy Day to figure out where their destinies led.

Steve had been plopped into the role of Cinderella's Prince Charming a year ago, destined to one day marry Princess Nancy Ella after dancing with her once at a ball. Nancy was a nice girl, he liked her well enough, but he didn't love her, a terrible truth that has haunted him since the day he signed the Storybook of Legends. He really had his eye set on you, (Y/N) Hatter, daughter of the Mad Hatter of Wonderland and Steve's very best friend.

Oh, destiny was a cruel thing, wasn't it?

"Stevie?"

Your bright, bubbly voice jerked Steve out of his thoughts, and he turned to you with a forced smile. "Yeah, (Y/N/N)?"

"Why don't we just ignore our destinies?"

Steve blinked. The question was so specific to his thoughts he was half convinced you'd read them.

"I can't read thoughts, silly." You giggled. "The narrator just said that you didn't wanna marry Nancy and that you liked me instead. And I say: why don't we just ignore our destinies? I like you too, and my sister's best friend didn't follow her destiny and nothing happened to her, so why don't we just do the same thing?"

Steve gaped, unable to form a single sentence.

"Well, that's easy, Stevie. You just open your mouth and say words, like this: the spotted cow jumped over the bright blue moon. See?"

Steve shook his head, and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse. "It's not that easy, (Y/N). How do we know that Raven hasn't just not disappeared yet? It's- Destiny is all we've ever known. Who are we to just turn our backs on it?"

"Who is Headmaster Grimm to tell us who we are?" you retorted, not unkindly. "Maybe destiny doesn't have to be set in stone. Maybe it can be something we can choose. I don't know about you, but I'm willing to see where following our own destinies - the ones in our heart - takes us, if it means I get to spend my Happily Ever After with you."

Steve remained silent for a moment, then took your face in his hands and kissed you, like he'd never kissed anyone before. "I'm a Charming," he whispered after you broke apart, resting his forehead against yours, "which means I need to be brave. I think I can do that, (Y/N/N). So you know what? Call me, Steve Charming, the rebel."

You beamed up at him and he kissed you again.

[pdrrook]

bro, im so excited for ur new project. so, i enjoy evil romance options ONLY when they are not evil and cruel to my mc, so is lotar safe that way? bro, call me boring, but i stay the hell away from toxic ros... Thank you so much<3.

Oh yeah, same, tho I feel like that's a subjective opinion but imo? Nah. I mean yeah L is an evil bastard but MC is their soft spot (how embarrassing asdsadsada). Slight spoiler underneath:

If you want L to be extra, idk sweet? Considerate? Then I'd recommend playing as an altruistic MC since L's pretty straightforward (well, as straightforward as L can ever be, aha) on that path, since they doesn't see MC as a threat. If you want a glimpse of that, you can (if you haven't already) check L's scenes on altruistic path. What you see is what you get as far as L is concerned.

The other evil-aligned RO, Malitiose is about the same, though way less composed and mature than L, which I think is to be expected considering that L is over 100 years old, and M not even 30. What I mean is L can understand and live with the fact that MC's actions won't always be on pair with their worldview, while M react with less understanding and more hurt when they deem MC to 'betray' them. But that's only a problem if you're on the LT path.

❝ MORTAL TALES ❞ ( O1 )

summary and word count: a certain fae can’t help but find amusement in the youngest elfhame’s prince‘s frustration. wc — 1493

pairings: the cruel prince!cardan greenbriar x fem!reader

contents and warnings: jealousy, hinting of threesome, mentions of knife (nothing extreme), suggestive content, mutual pining-ish, fluffy?

a/n: i used tcp cardan because i couldn’t see any context of y/n being used in a fic in the other books (i also need it for the next part </3). i tried my best to include the tail bit since it didn‘t come out right, ill add it in either part 2/3. cardan is a bit ooc (i made him a bit idk how to put it besides: sub?man whore. because i believe that’s what he is 😁). and y/n resembles jude just a little bit with the blade thing, but only a little because jude is neither very flirty or open up about her sexuality (more so in the first book) and that’s what i made y/n like.

also, since this was more in y/n’s perspective, next part will be more so cardans <3

Y/N's legs crossed as she leaned her head on locke's shoulder, while Poppy, a half-faerie: who Locke has shown great interest in— for all the wrong reasons — sat before them and told them of the mortal tales her father would recite to her every night or the ones she gathered on her own from her adventures back where the humans lived.

Y/N found them odd: how they all were almost nothing compared to the people here; they were fragile, but she found similar enjoyment in them all nonetheless — and perhaps she had the eldest duarte to blame for her obsession with all things mortal, and Poppy's tales weren't helping either — which has unfortunately gained her the harsh scowls from the youngest prince of Elfhame.

Though that was no surprise. The boy had never been kind enough for her to realise that his treatment towards her was almost cruel — not that it had mattered, because to Y/N it was a show; she knew where his feelings lay, and it was nothing but amusing. To everyone with eye sight as clear as day, he'd never liked her, but when in class, when he believes her to be ignorant of his stare or his wagging tail; she has a classmate whisper every move his body makes, and it fuelled her heart all too much.

"It's not quite normal there, unlike here, if anyone decided to walk around with it they'd get humiliated till they're six feet under," Poppy snorted, covering her mouth with the back of her palms.

Locke turned to stare behind him, catching sight of the prince and Nicasia — both pouting miserably (one much too obvious than the other), and at that, he smiled. "Oh you’re right, tails are quite odd aren’t they? More so on a prince,"

Y/N shrugged at that, "It's alright, I do think Cardan makes it quite, charming? He’s always wagging it around like some...was it a cat you called it?"

"Yes a cat," Poppy shook her head positively, "though don't say that out loud, I doubt he's as clueless on mortal knowledge as we think he is."

Locke hummed, a smirk growing on his lips as he kept his eyes trained on his friend, Y/N following suite of his gaze and sultry grinning at the boy from afar, ignoring Nicasia — causing his eyes to widen momentarily, before the scowl found home on his face once more.

"He's never quite liked you has he?" His words were soft against her ear, his lips landing gently beneath her ear-lobes, kissing it tenderly as he kept his eyes trained on his flaring friend — who if one squinted, could perhaps see smoke escape his ears, if they ignored the immense swinging of his tail.

Y/N smiled, a small amount of malice lacing her intentions, "hatred I'd say, though he doesn't think I'm that foolish does he?"

Poppy, who now stared at her feet, hands tugging the grass with a blush coating her tanned features, "he's looked like he wanted to murder Locke."

Y/N snickered, a sickeningly sweet one at that, as she lowly muttered, "it’s all working then, sweetness."

Later on, when Y/N was left with no one to keep her company — as Locke found himself adorning Poppy and Nicasia's presence, alone — she took notice of the emptiness of Locke's home. It was beautiful, nothing as extravagant as Hollow Hall, yet she found herself admiring the interior all the same.

And as her hands traced the designs etched on the walls, as if it were a reminiscence of her first time staring upon them, a deep, and rather annoyed cough fleed her from her thoughts.

she stayed in position, her back facing Cardan and only gripping the knife resting on her waist, "now what would the prince need at a time like this? Should he not be in his humble abode by now?"

"Should you not be with your lover boy? Or is it that you enjoy using people like he does?" His tone was hostile as he spat his words, however the light softness that rippled around it was evident and Y/N couldn't help her lips tugging upwards.

She turned around, staring at him — where he leaned cooly against one of the walls — with squinted eyes, faux contempt present in her stare, and he shifted in his spot at her gaze.

She swiftly walked, her steps careful as to not trip on her dress. And when she reached him, she, boldly, placed her hands on his chest, dragging it downwards firmly — and his thumping heart beneath his rib cage could be faintly heard from the short proximity between them.

Y/N titled her head when he clenched his fists, but found a smile etching on her lips when his eyes were lightly fluttering. "Do I really threaten you that much that your hatred towards me is the only thing that keeps you going? It's pathetic truly, especially for a prince."

Cardan gulped, mind hazy at the contact and his body was supported by his tail, that was wrapped roughly around one of his legs. He could not utter the next words without stroking her ego, and it was then he'd wished — though he'd never admit out loud — that he were mortal, because he needed to lie if not keep his mouth shut.

More so with her trapping him, her knees coming forward and slightly spreading his legs, so that the entirety of his body leaned upon the wall. And despite him towering over her due to one of her legs bending in-front of the other, he could not move, catching sight of the shiny blade securely placed on her hips and her rigid grasp on them.

She had been around a certain mortal for too long, he thought, and at that his sneer was present again.

Y/N gently bit her tongue to stifle the giggle from escaping her, "what, cat's got your tongue?"

His lips were tightly sealed, and though he already knew the effects she displayed were affecting him, greatly, he refused to acknowledge her — especially that any movement could cause his legs to move slightly forward and brush . . .

She shook her head with a light hearted laugh that had his heart beating just a little bit faster, just a little bit. Her hands releasing the grip she had on her blade, before placing it on his cheek and patting him smoothly.

"You're quite humorous you know, would be a shame if you wasted all that energy on 'hating' me when it could be used for something else, you decide, my prince." she said, her tone sensual and low, before gradually stepping away allowing room (only a small amount at that) for the boy before her to breathe, she let one of her fingers crawl delicately on his hollow cheek bones, that though looked sharp, were as soft as anything could be.

Cardan's eyes widened ever so slightly, now registering her words, "are you flirting with me?" He asked. The space between them now slightly obvious, and he hated it — almost as much as he pretends to loathe her.

Y/N raised her brows, crossing her arms in an unlikely childish manner before nodding, "you're quite oblivious you know? Yes."

"Well," the confirmation enabled a smirk to appear on his face, only to be dismissed by her voice, again.

"Well? Is that all? Because I have things to do, and if my offer does not interest you then I'll gladly leave and find another willing volunteer," she purred, ignoring the way his brows harshly and quickly furrowed, creating a crease, "how about Locke? We are reasonably close, and he does not have a tail — which looks a bit foolish, don't you think?"

He was blushing crimson now, red sparklings littering his pale cheeks, but then his lips curled up — however, he does not look as frighting as he's expecting to be, he knew that, especially with her knees still resting between his thighs (which is all he's trying to drift his mind from at the moment).

"I don't see anything off with it, I've been told it makes one interesting. You've spent too much time with mortals and those alike." Cardan's jaw clenched and his chest was rising a lot more than it was a few minutes before.

Y/N pursed her lips, "Well then, show me how interesting one can get." She leaned forward, her breath fanning atop his lips and he found his own hitching.

His eyes were wandering from her eyes, which he secretly adored, to her lips, and he subconsciously nodded, leaning forward.

Only then, her hands rested on his chest, pushing him away slightly and his head came in contact with the wall yet again, and he had to bite his bottom lips in hopes that she had no idea how much he’d needed her, all of her.

Y/N stepped backwards, finally standing straight. Her hands on her side once more and she gave the prince an alluring smile, "I'll see you later, cardan."

He glared at the spot she had been standing in once she’d left, and he knew that it was a silly game she’s playing.

And what is a game if it involves one player?

[charmixpower]

Rewatching season 1 (and actually paying attention to Sky to figure out what the fuck everyone is talking about): Part 2

EP 6:

Bloom: who are the Trix?

Musa: lol, that's the nickname we gave them

...the Trix eventually start calling themselves this right???? Nfkskdne that's, um, Icy are you ok??

Why do we never get to see the spring of light? That would of been a cool part of the palace

Ok but how the fuck does Bloom having the dragon fire even work?? Did the great dragon just randomly decide on a planet to bestow God powers on?? Fuckin help

I like to think that Domino was the first thing created by the great dragon and their related to diminutive dragon's that are the closest to the great dragon out of everything in the magical universe. God's second cousin if you will

Still op as fuck

None of this girls know the myth on how their dimension was created

"until dark forces attacked Domino and put out the dragon flame. The magical dimension hasn't been the same since." She's talking like the dragons flame was a physical object in Domino that played an important role of the upkeep of the dimension??? Help

I love how where the Dragon went is never explained. Like god took a nap, he's gone now

FARAGONA YOU KNOW SOMETHING

Tecna and Bloom: BITE BITE KILL KILL

Flora and Stella: ummmmmm, but how tho

Musa is just sitting there

I love how these idiots are screaming at a ring

Darcy is so upset about her nose and Stormy can barely cast a spell she's so sleepy

Icy on the other hand is fine and pissed as fuck

Apparently Stella's scepter doesn't have the power of the dragon flame?? Or not enough to be of any use??? Idk

The Trix are very lucky to have a room connected to a secret tunnel

The Trix are fucking screaming in the middle of the night, how does no one notice these fools

I love how these girls instantly decide to touch everything

Stella is so happy to have her ring back 🥺 which IS WHY SHE SHOULD HAVE IT IN LATER SEASONS—

Ok, ok, ok, ok, plot hole

Stella has her ring back, why does she not teleport them out???

If cloud tower is alive is it fucking with them??? If so can Flora sense that??

Bloomy is so impulsive

Griffin is such a weird and cruel woman to random teenagers and for what??

Tecna: fuck this place

Bloom: what if they have a book about me 🥺

Tecna: Bloom, that's fucking stupid. Why would cloud tower have a book about you when you entered the magical world like two weeks ago

Bloom: :0

Griffin...you are in your 30s+...why are you playing pranks on 16 year olds

Musa: !!! Oh FUCK this place

They do magic convergence!! But not true convergence, they just attack at the same time

Why are you running and not flying

Flora is the only one here smart enough to fly

Stella: We have a problem

Stella: not any more

Season 1 is fucking unparalleled. Stella punches Kunt, Tecna body slams doors, can't wait for more

Musa is so fucking terrified of this bug 🥺 she's literally shaking 😭 and Stella is so ready to protect her 🥺🥺🥺

Stella has set the room on fire

"Thanks a lot Stella" Musa :((((( stop being mean to Stella :((((((

The other "worst pair" from s2 twinning witches, gets moments of mutual dislike (Tecna and Bloom), but Musa is always the one on the offensive with Stella and Stella hasn't really done anything

Musa come back here and explain why you isolate between baby, angry, and sad

It wouldn't be hard to make this mutual bc Stella is known to have foot in mouth syndrome and Musa is hyper sensitive and holds grudges like it's her god given duty

Bloomy you have fire power's please at least try to control the fire

Daphne is so quick with it

Musa is so fucking baby when she isn't trying to be cool

Someone help her she doesn't know how to express emotions healthy

Flora should of gone first....she'd the fairy of plants...fire is the most dangerous for her

Stella: Well it sure did get us out of a HOT SPOT

Tecna: hahaha. Stella. Your so funny. I just bust a gut

Musa: *gags*

Stella confirmed pun liker and Tecna/Musa confirmed pun haters. This is amazing

A whole EP dedicated to this ring and it's just forgotten about

Poor Musa is suffering the most of getting no sleep 🥺

Fragonda: now what do you have to say for yourselves

Tecna: three witches from cloud tower tried to KILL Stella and STOLE HER HEIRLOOM. We went to get it back. Maybe tell your ""Colleague"" not to have murderous bitches at her school

OOO this is literally Faragonda and Girselda's worst fucking moment I swear to got this episode makes me hate these two so fucking much. This nearly gets the Winx KILLED

I'm going to attack Fragona with my teeth

Musa is genuinely upset that Fragonda might think their naive. Girl care so much about what others think of her

In my rewrite Faragona is going to face so many fucking consequences for this shit

Tecna is going to TEAR INTO HER, she won't hold anything back

EP 7:

When the Winx nearly die this episode I promise Tecna will also scream at you for putting them into this situation Griselda 💚 you can have your own little character arc about being nicer

Does these two episodes piss anyone else off for their flagrant disregard for the girls safety

OMG. "It wasn't a joke!" Tecna is autistic confirmed!!!! Every autistic has gone though this

Flora: it's not hard to use a broom :) want me to show you how?

Tecna: Nah. I'm sure I can figure out how to use these primitive implements

Flora watching Tecna out a bucket on her head: are you sureeee?

Tecna: of course!

Flora, clearly amused: are you really really sure you don't want any...help :)

Tecna: I can handle the situation Flora. Don't worry

Flora: (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

Tecna, using a broom on a painting: see!

Flora: indeed, I see

Tecna: I think I might of done something wrong

Flora: now would you like me to help you?

GOD FLORA AND TECNA'S DYNAMIC IS SO GOOD

Flora is the only one who understands, despite being the smartest one here, she's also stupid as fuck

Plus Flora is just so subtly mocking, love her

Musa is going to attack Stella for being so entitled....this really should of been where Musa's dislike of Stella started. Or at least something like this happening sooner

"you'll be on guitar"

Stella: Hey! You want me to break a nail?

"WEAR GLOVES" "RUBBER IS BAD FOR MY SKIN"

The girls are fightinggggg

Bloom committed violence

Stella: a tough battle just ended, and I won by a landslide!

Stella why are you so perfect

Is Girselda ok?? Go do something with your life woman instead of bother 16 year olds

Ughhh mental Girselda, come back to me, I need some good teacher representation and if I cannot find if I will completely fuck up other characters to make it

Riven: Good morning disgusting rich bitches, I'm going to cause problems on purpose

DID BRANDON BRING THE DOG?!

I want this man's hand in marriage

The Trix are just openly talking about committing murder what the fuck

MIRTA!! MIRTA!!! MY SWEET BABY GIRL!!!

Mirta...baby I love you. Don't get into arguments with the Trix

I love how Mirta has freckles (≧▽≦)

Stormy fucked up all the drinks at her table just to laugh at Mirta. Why isn't everyone talking about how Stormy is the best Trix

Poor Lucy and Mirta.....

Damn it was lucky that there were still ppl at Alfea.... But what about people who don't like concerts??? Shouldn't they also still be at school?

You fuckers tricked these poor guys into helping you clean didn't you??

Sky is the only one here that has a good outfit. Those are, in fact, sentient people clothes

Riven is having a fucking moment, but the magenta on magenta is so fucking funny and he so clearly went "well it matches my hair....." That I am forced to like it, it's really boring tho

BRANDON IN HIS PREP ERA. Ok but, imagine Brandon pretending to be a prince gets him to try different styles and now 50% of his clothe is prep nonsense and the other 50% is gym rat that just figured out what a neon is. I think someone would attack him

Looking at Timmy I've never understood s1 Riven more. I also want to shove him into a locker. Why the fuck are you standing like that??? He's trying too hard to be pathetic smh

I love Brandon and Sky going "yeah, sure. I'll accept this as the way my day is going to go."

Timmy can't even catch a broom. How did you pass ANY of your physical classes

Riven: the audacity of lying to me AND expecting me to clean??? Excuse you?!

Riven is just fucking standing there, blank faced. What fucking emotion is that??? He looks dead inside

Riven: I cannot glare disbelieving at you people any harder

I love that there's just a random musical in this episode, Musa I love you

Flora is so gorgeous in her s1 casual party outfit. Why was this only seen once. She's soooo pretty

Stella and Bloom however look like pre-teens

Tecna your so cute and nONE OF YOU ARE WORTHY OF HER

Timmy........why the fuck did you ask Tecna if she wanted to dance if you didn't want to?? Are you just agreeing with her??? I mean vaild, if ***I*** got to be around the one and only Tecna I would also simp, but at least have a plan

Musa is so fucking great. Look at my girl dance!!!

S1 Riven is utterly nonplussed

This man's enegry

Riven's hobbies include: being an asshole for no reason, trying to look cool and failing, being utterly pathetic—

The vaccums are made to find and store powerful magical objects.... Tell me why they weren't used in s2/s3

These bitches just casue problems on purpose

Brandon in his prep era is making me go though multiple emotions at once

Brandon: woah woah woah there

Brandon: I've barely kissed Stella tonight, I'm not leaving until I at least get to—

UH OH TIME TO PANIC NOW

I love how all the guys just have their weapons......is there a reason y'all are armed at all times??

What ever the FUCK is wrong with Timmy's sleeves is making me crave violence

Tecna: a big heavy creature

Riven: Oh golly! O would of never guessed

(JFKWKDKD RIVEN SAYS GOLLY?!)

Tecna: it's two and a half meters tall, and weighs close to a ton. It's fur is bristly, it has horns, and multiple clawed limbs. It also has a musky odor

Tecna: now is that better

DRAG HIS ASS QUEEN

Also why does no one do anything with the information she provided. Do these boys not have a class on monster types???? Does none of the shit she's saying ring a bell??? Come on! Tecna dropped a gold mine of information, one of you use your brains

Riven has finally pissed off Musa!! She is gaining awareness of the fact that he's a asshole. S3/4 makes this almost annoying in retrospect, but I have to remind myself that the real Rivusa peeked in s2 then left the show

Musa, who doesn't have access to her magical powers and isn't physically strong: Says who!!!!!

The power of wanting to make Riven look stupid us just THAT STRONG

The best part about Timmy is that he has a fucking gun. But they made the gun work in the LEAST cool way possible. Just let Timmy shoot someone

Someone please give Riven a shield or something. You have a one handed weapon, pick up a shield

Musa...... Your are so fucking stupid, sooo fucking stupid. If wasn't aroace I'd want to kiss you

They're all curled up in a huddle because only Bloom could remember they don't have powers. Jfc

Flora fell :(((((( poor Flora isn't all that active is she

MUSA WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! WHY DID YOU RUN PAST?!

Me and the writers are gonna have to fight on this one

Stella fucking dragging Flora to safety, we Stan one queen

Poor girlies 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Tecna fucking JUMPED OVER THE MINATAUR

From most active to least active, in canon, it apparently goes: Aisha, Tecna, Stella, Musa, Bloom, Flora

Stella...stop gloating before your get hurt

Musa just fucking kicked this thing in the head lfjwosksjrjjekekekwkr then got PUNCHED

her bones are milk now

DONT THINK ITS CUTE, DONT THINK ITS CUTE

S1 RIVEN DOESN'T DESERVE MUSA, DO NOT THINK ITS CUTE

FUCK ITS CUTE

Damn my stupid Rivusa shipper heart, s1 Riven is the enemy!!!

I love how Sky puts an arm in front of Musa. Opnion reaffirmed. Sky is a nice dude

I'm going to attack s1 Riven 💓💓💓💓 I'm going to throw him out a window

S1 Riven makes s2 Riven so much sweeter, yet I must suffer though his NONSENSE

Someone help this idiot, he doesn't know what a priority is

Someone PLEASE get this man a senseical motivation and STAT

WHAT DOES THAT PRINCE OF DARKNESS QOUTE MEAN DARCY, WILL YOU EVER EXPLAIN

Stella is so ready to help love her

Bloom: and you thought my last idea was fucking insane, WATCH THIS!!!

Tecna: I'm going to die here

Riven. Please. For once in your life. Shut up. Flora was being cute

Flora: what if we get into more trouble

Bloom: what if we DIE

I can't get over Brandon's prep era

Riven instantly noticing when someone is in there....bro imagine if he got moments of being tolerable but only when he was focused so he didn't have time to be a bitch that would be funny

Sneaking into the room was so adorable bfjwjndbdnens I wanna trap him in a bottle

Riven turned on the lights right after Bloom spoke be he's THAT dramatic

HI FARAGONA, HERE TO SEE HOW YOU NEARLY GOT YOUR STUDENTS FUCKING KILLED

CONSEQUENCES!!! CONSEQUENCES!!!!!!!! CONSEQUENCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's well in their right to start screaming at her now

Sky: jfc this girl attracts danger like flies to honey........I can accept this

Riven: This has got to be like, the 15th worst day of my life

Timmy: .... You wanna clarify that one?? We nearly died

Riven: yes bitch?? And??

Brandon: shut the fuck up you lot. This day was AMAZING

Brandon: I! GOT! TO! KISS!

Brandon:🌟STELLA🌟

Timmy: we nearly DIED

Brandon: As Riven would say, personal problem

Riven: go fuck yourself

Thank you s1 Riven. You were only acceptable when you weren't taking

The girls should of gotten to scream at Fragonda and Griselda, just a little bit, as a treat

EP 8:

Oh god it's the fucking rose festival episode

Daphne: COME HERE, BLOOM HURRY IT THE FUCK UP

Btw when I said that Nymphs don't have wings and their just tall, this is what I ment

Daphne is literally just here to explain the plot to Bloom in s1 and then she's completely fucking forgotten for s2 and s3

Flora goes home for mother's day and so does Tecna. Neat

Mothers must be SUPER IMPORTANT on magix if you get a day off for them

Really Winx? Only Stella, Bloom, and Musa aren't going home? No one else with an estranged or dead mother

Stella says her parents are estranged in the beginning of s1 but now apparently it's a secret and her parents are only now getting divorced

This show doesn't know what a continuity is

MUSA BABY NOOOO

Stella is so sweet, I love her

And Musa trying her best to be positive

Musa I love you

Brandon: Stella~ Stella~ Stella~

Sky: do you think—

Brandon: I do not

"There is a growing collaboration between the fairies of Alfea and the wizards of red fountain"

I—

Number one, you weirdo bitch, why do you CARE

Number two, wizards??? WIZARDS??? ARE YOU TELLING ME RIVEN IS A WIZARD???? BRANDON IS A WIZARD???? COME THE FUCK BACK HERE GRIFFIN

Griffin: and I don't like it!! This could change the balance of power >:(

She says....like red fountain and Alfea already only do things together and exclude Cloud Tower

"Today there is the insufferable rose festival going on in the city"

Griffin has mommy issues confirmed

Bro... Why are you spying on a group of 16 teen-year-olds? Please get a life

I kinda love Sky's s1 civilian. He's not trying too hard like Brandon and he doesn't look boring like Riven. He's wearing a very nice T-shirt and some cool pants. Good for him

Why did Riven go with Sky and Brandon? Like genuinely. He doesn't like any of these people.

Griffin really thinks making Riven more pissy than usual will ruin the bond between ALL RF and Alfea students

Like an idiot

I'm completely inconsolable

Musa: He's a strange fella, but I'd really like to get to know him better

I wish Riven was written to be hyper defensive instead of always on the offensive with his ego bc that would make Musa's comment make more sense

Plus it would differentiate Musa and Riven's reactions to hostility. Musa seems like the type of person to preemptively get mad and go on the offensive, while Riven more reacts after he thinks someone has slighted him but because he's paranoid this happens constantly

This moment is so gorgeous

Riven doesn't like crowds....my anxiety headcanons are growing more powerful

WHERE THE FUCK DID STELLA COME FROM

What ever, their cute and I love this

Brandon is the best looking guy here and he gets brown eyes....Winx club designers really said brown eye bitches take the win today

Riven...why did you even come

Riven seeing a race: finally! Something to distract me from my mommy issues—

Bloom....why are you approaching Riven?? It's like sticking your hand into a piranha infested lake. He's going to be a dipshit

Brandon: *a very gentle ribbing*

Riven: this!!! Is!!! An!!!! Attack!!!!!

I have skipped the moment that makes my hyper empathy and second hand embarrassment almost painful to deal with—but Bloom fucking destroying any one who has the fucking audacity is amazing

I'd like to clarify that this moment pissed me off so much as a child I held a multi year grudge against Riven untill I rewatched s2 this year

Anyways, in my opinion, I think Riven was written to be TOO unlikeable for his character arc and s1 Riven will only not be stuck into a blender because he needs to become s2 Riven

I'll just turn the blender on low, this is fine

I think I've mis-characterized Bloom as anxious when she just has low self esteem, autistic and full of rage

My bad

Bloom: ah! I didn't mean to! Riven I'm sorry

I— I'm genuinely curious about which part she didn't mean to do

I think it's bc Bloom has been bullied and she's low key recognizing this as bullying? But the difference is that Riven is a agressive dipshit who definitely deserved it

See this is why they should of made Riven more likeable before he joined the Trix

1) so Bloom would have a reason to feel bad

2) so the audience would be upset that he went in the wrong direction

3) to explain why Musa liked him in the first place

Just give him some more nice moments and rip them all away once he's ~evil~, you went too far in making unlikeable and made him hateable even before he was a villan

Come on guys, all the official stuff about Riven says he has a good heart underneath all the emotional issues, we should see that before the season finale

You guys wanna know something funny? I was dead set on hating Riven when re-watching. It's just his little "I have a heart" speech and his silly little s2 actions convinced me to become what I am today

Stella: he had it coming

Love that energy

S1 Riven you little asshole, please do (1) self reflection

Riven: I don't need friends

Riven: they disappoint me

Darcy: I could make him worse

Stormy: oh fucking hell, she's doing the thing

I love how it's Icy who decides that Riven will be manipulated over to their side. Icy is the one that sees his use and Icy is the one that wants Riven around to help them

It's just interesting that Icy was the most interested in Riven hanging around them

Bloom was so distracted by a lady that looks like Daphne she didn't even question where Timmy came from

Bloom is so upset about publicly humiliating Riven's bitchass, she's so nice

Fake Timmy is disturbing

The Trix just standing there over Bloom is also creepy

Darcy is already so down to protect Riven. Girl you have even less of a reason to be into him

Stormy is here to bully her sisters 💗 Stormy is aro and is allergic to romance

Icy: *mocking Darcy for romantic feelings*

Icy....babe...I'm so sorry for what s3 and s5 did to you—

Bloom: hiii....

Stella: WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO!! I WAS WORRIED SICK

Riven genuinely looking kinda happy

God I hate him in s1, yet I feel so bad for him. I just wanna put him in therepy and shake him a little bit. He doesn't deserve what's coming next

Ugh he can't even be nice when getting a gift, tragic. They REALLY wanted s1 Riven to be unlikable huh?

Stella: um.... Oh no. Who gave you that helmet?!

Bloom: OH FUCK

My second hand embarrassment is making this episode actually painful

Ahhh s1 3d animation my beloved

Does no one see this?!

BLOOM WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?!

I skipped most of this episode bc lord have mercy my second hand embarrassment is STRONG, but s1 Riven becoming evil makes so much more sense now

Bloomly.... God no fucking shit Riven thought Bloom tried to murder him, imagine this happening to you it's so fucking sideways

Like him joining the people that nearly fucking killed him with a Minotaur is so fucking stupid it physically hurts, but if he didn't know who the Trix were this would be the most senseical decision anyone made all season

Yes it's dumb that apparently she gave him a fucked helmet, found that it wasn't quite doing anything, then attacked him properly—but this show is fucking dumb so I'll take it

Hello Darcy, here to make Riven fall in love with you to use him for your own personal gain huh? Riven's therapist will be ever aquatinted with you in the future

Riven FINALLY BEING SOFT, you could of given us slightly more moments of this before so the audience actually feels bad when he joins the bad guys but what do I know

Darcy looks so gentle. For just one moment. Then she goes back to looking threatening

Stormy: disgusting

Girl how did you think Darcy was going to convince Riven

Darcy is being so smug

NO POOR BLOOMY SHE FEELS SO BAD

You think when Riven throws himself off of Cloud Tower she'll blame herself for that too??

EP 9:

Oh Daphne my beloved. I wish you were a real character in this show or not at all because your disappearance in s2 is strongly felt

Tbh if Daphne were to be revived I would of loved for it to happen in s2 or s3 but have her be in a coma. So there's at least a reason she's gone after s1 that isn't just "plot doesn't need her anymore"

or just have her dead before everything starts and have a magical hologram in s1 that Daphne made before she died leading Bloom

Daphne's sad voice hurts my feelings

Flora being kept up with Bloomy's nightmare

Flora is so anxious about her friends 🥺🥺🥺 she's so freaked out about Bloom

Idk why she doesn't wake Bloom up herself

Stella is having a moment she hasn't been sleeping well

Tecna: btw theirs a woman in your mind talking to you though your dreams

All of the Winx: this is normal

I wonder why Stella is being so fucking weird about Bloom's dreams in perticualr.... It's because she hasn't been sleeping since huh?

How does Stella not realize—this EP is so weird

Bloom is so fucking grumpy

"Daphne, one of the nine nymphs of Magix. The supreme fairies who ruled over the magic dimension during the eons following the dragon's disappearance"

FUCKING WHAT.

This librarian can't do shit 😔 tragic

Stella really trying to justify herself to Flora ripp

STELLA REALLY SAID IMMA PISS OF EVERYONE TODAY

She made Flora angry. Watch your step before Musa or Tecna punch you

BRO STELLA WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON, MUSA WAS LITERALLY JUST SITTING THERE

Stella: my mother told me to pick my battles

Stella: then she fucked off and hasn't spoken to me in 5 years, so I'm picking all of them

Stella: like we all know when she sees Timmy, out friend Tecna blushes head to toe

Tecna: DID YOU JUST CALL ME STRAIGHT?! LOOK AT MY OUTFIT STELLA!! HOW MORE CLEAR CAN I GET

Stella: I admit I do find Sky kinda, but that's it

Oh so Stella's being a fucking liar today'

God no, do NOT talk about Riven

Musa is trying her best to ignore Stella

Stella baby, you annoyed Tecna and Flora, you pissed off Bloom, you are going to make Musa cry

Don't poke her soft spots Stella Musa will start sobbing

"That guy doesn't even look at you"

Stella is being a bitch but she is very correct. S1 Riven is barely aware of Musa's existence

This should probably be changed to explain why Musa likes him so much

LMAO MUSA KNOCKED HER OFF THE TABLE

Will Stella ever not be gorgeous? Sources say no

Stella: and anyways since the day of the rose, the only one Riven cares about is Darcy. Of course you didn't know that~ you weren't with us~

STELLA WHAT THE FUCK

Stella at the end of that episode: oh fuck Bloom accidentally pushed Riven into the hands of a deranged moster

Stella now: actually this is now ammunition

STELLA HOW FUCKING DARE YOU MAKE MUSA CRY!!! SHES BABY!!!

Musa, internally: OH NO MY ABANDONMENT ISSUES, MY COPING MECHANISM, AND MY LOW SELF ESTEEM

Jfc Stella hit ALL of Musa's soft spots with that line

Stella....in this episode is so ooc. Like Stella can definitely be insensitive and mean sometimes, girl gets foot in mouth syndrome like no body's business, but she wouldn't ignore making someone cry

Flora is about to punch Stella

Bloom....are you going to comfort your crying friend or not? No?? Ok

Stella: I should of never teased you like that

Bloom: I'm a bit sensitive

Awee their self aware

This ep is where Radius and Cassandra started dating I've decided, either that or Stella is cursed

Stella: it's just....I can't do anything right today

Bloom: and that's news?

Stella: hmph...I deserve that one

Ok I've decided Stella is cursed or something. Even Stella would know better than to make a comment about Bloom'd hair right after recognizing that she's been ultra mean today

But maybe she's only mean for the first part of the EP bc....... I'm PUTTING CHIMERA IN THE STORY AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME

Musa is very angry about Stella and talking about how Stella always makes her angry with off handed insensitive comments, which I believe. I would of loved to...see them in earlier episodes

Musa: oh my god he is dating someone else

Musa: this is horrible!!! My daydreams have been ruined!!! He's going off script!!!!

"Riven is with Darcy?!" *Grips hands into fist*

Ndsjnsnd

Riven: *does literally anything with anyone that isn't Musa*

Musa: I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me?

Is this what normal crushes are like??? Like obsessions? I'm too aroace to understand

Like you could chalk this up to her being upset that he's dating the enemy but she apologizes after she slaps Icy so that really isn't it

Darcy: your vibes are wasted at Red Fountain. If you were one of us, you could be even more powerful

Darcy your implying he could be somewhere else and if so GIVE ME RIVEN DOING SHITTY MAGIC. I NEED TO MOCK HIM

Stormy: was manipulating Riven hard?

Darcy: No actually, it's was super easy. Barely an inconvenience.

I love how Riven is just uncritically agreeing with Darcy. Bitch, she ACTUALLY tired to kill you. Of course you don't remember that because it would be inconvenient to the plot but whatever

Darcy: heyyyyy~ Bloom and Brandon suck right?

Riven: I have never agreed with a statement more in my life

Lmaoo

Darcy: *holds Riven's hand*

Musa: don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Musa, sobbing: WHYYYY

Musa, baby, your energy

I love how Darcy put all that energy into convincing Riven to join her then just also put a spell on him. It's called insurance and these spells tend to work better if the person half agrees with what's going on anyways

This is the middle ground between "Riven completely of his own will helped the Trix" and "Riven was under Darcy's control the whole time" that my hcs usually live

Just of his own will enough that he'd agree to let Darcy into his head and just under her control enough for Darcy to drag him ooc more and more as time goes on

Icy: oh my god is this girl really sobbing at Darcy from behind a window???

Icy: this level of desperation is kinda impressive

Stormy and Musa have the same voice actor don't they?????

Icy doesn't even have a reason to be so interested in what Musa's doing. She just likes bullying people

Stormy: I trust Icy to recognize a spy

Isn't that Darcy's thing?

Poor Musa is already crying...Icy you will pay for this

Icy: I remember Riven saying that he thinks nothing of you

Bold of Icy to assume that Riven thinks about Musa enough to be aware of the fact that he doesn't think about her

Musa is SOO FUCKING UPSET AND BOTHERED AND FOR WHAT???

*slaps roof of Musa* This baby can fit so much assumptions and mental illness in her!!

Musa fucking no hesitation just slapped Icy and I love that energy. Remember when the girls didn't hesitate to smack a bitch???

Stormy flinched back at Musa's slap....there's a mark on Icy's face. GIRL HOW FUCKING HARD DID YOU SWING

Musa has a rivalry with ALL of the Trix bc she's just that ✨Iconic ✨

Musa: I'm—i'm so sorry Icy! I didn't mean to hurt you!

Characters in this show will do something and then instantly claim that they didn't mean to do that thing

Bonus, Icy has tried to kill Musa before and she's still apologizing

Musa is baby

....in this show there are just a bunch of evil people hanging around as a part of society who are known for their evil. The witches are so weird

Lusy: Icy's powerful Mista! Maybe she'll notice me!

Someone happened to both of their voices in this episode... Also Mista??

Brandon...what are you doing here????

Were they just flying over Aflea??? Amazing

Riven has fucked off from the group, Brandon's threat turned back on him

What were they going to do in magix

Why is Musa running away with her feet and not......flying???

MUSA YOU ARE A FAIRY YOU HAVE WINGS, BABY WHY

Me and all the witches in this episode are going to have to get into a physical altercation

The audacity of harming Musa

Ah shit s1 Riven is back and he's in full antagonist mode

Musa is about to do a stupid and ask Riven for help isn't she??

Yeah she did. Girl. Brain cells

Welcome full antagonist Riven!!!!! S1 has been waiting for you!!!!!

How the FUCK can Sky track Musa??? Fucking help?

Musa: I'm trapped!!!

FLY!!!! WITH YOUR WINGS!!!! GO UP!!!!! ICY AND STORMY ARE FLYING WHY CANT YOU?!

The Winx and their forgetting they can fly

SKY YOU FUCKING MORON YOU NEARLY HIT MUSA!!!

Ahhh! S1 villain Riven is here BBY and he's ready to cause even WORSE problems on purpose

Riven has been mostly fighting with Brandon until he's decided now he hates Sky the most

This show is so dumb

*Riven and Sky try to kill eachother* Well boys will be boys

Tbh Riven looks so cool with the witch girlies. I wish they we're allowed to be more than villains or turned into fairies of they aren't villains

Brandon is so cool

FINALLY THESE IDIOTS TRANSFORM

Stormy said fuck Tecna in perticualr

Darcy wants Musa dead so BADLY

"I could fix him better than you!!"

Brandon, for saving Musa, you are now being awarded the title of "only man ever"

Attacking Darcy's clones knocks her out, that's interesting to know

BLOOM REALLY JUST DODGED AND LET FLORA BE HIT HUH?!

Flora looks so gorgeous laying there.....

Apparently Flora doesn't do ugly

Does this world not have any enforcement of laws????? What the fuck is happening

Timmy hasn't done shit bc he's too busy sitting over Tecna.... Dude at least pick her up or something

Stella hasn't taken her sword ring out at all...and this show has multiple times tried to say she can't fight without it

Darcy is trying to fucking MURDER Musa. No cap, hands down, fucking dead. Unhinged behavior

Stormy: uhhh, sisters? What's going on with Bloom's lineart....

Bloom: I'm so fucking angry, I'm gonna bite your fucking head off

This should of put multiple people, but especially the Trix in the hospital

Riven is EVIL and yet he still knows to pull up his girlfriend and help her get away from danger

Bloom: *has god powers*

Brandon: what the fuck am I looking at

Sky: oh fuck if I know

Brandon:.... 9/10 not as hot as Stella, but admittedly—

Sky: I will jump tackle you

Bloomy used up all her magic

Brandon is such a good dude I love this guy

Musa: He's become a real jerk

I WOULD LOVE TO BELIEVE YOU MUSA BUT THE SHOW REFUSES TO SHOW US ANY GOOD RIVEN MOMENTS TO MAKE THIS LINE OF THOUGHT UNDERSTANDABLE

Stella: I love being right!!! It's my favorite hobby

Stormy: I broke a nail 😭😭

Icy'd obsession with Bloom just started

Faragona what do you know????

.... Fragonda are you literally stopping Bloom from finding out more about herself????? ARE YOU ACTUALLY STOPPING BLOOM FROM DISCOVERING HER POWERS?!

Oh so this is why Faragona is hated so much... Girselda could have a redemption arc but this is intentionally awful jfc

Riven post s1: it's not paranoia if it can happen

EP 10:

"Musa is really upset when she sees HER Riven together with Darcy." The narrator explained Musa's train of thought so much better than I could

Flora: yeah,, and some horrible ones too :((((

Tecna: tch, you shouldn't let that scare you Flora! Their just stupid rumors anyway!! Really what could ever happen to you in there

Tecna is so pressed about this, amazing

I love how Tecna and Flora's dynamic is them telling eachother things they missed due to their different ways of learning things. It's interesting

Stella wants to be talked about so bad 👀👀 that's a symtom

Icy's vaccum is full of purple, Stormy's is full of yellow, and Darcy's is full of??? White??? Light pink??? It's really hard to see

Stella seeing a bunch of Tecno shit she doesn't understand: Tecna! Are we having fun

Tecna: 😍😍😍😍😍 yes

Witches being evil is a part of this test I'm screaming

Flora specializes in environmental healing and not combat confirmed

Stella apparently also thinks she can Ace that......maybe because sun light is good for life???

Sky's dog exists again

Sky: I got to ride a dragon today

There's a joke somewhere in here

LADY IS SO FUCKING CUTE IM GOING TO START SOBBING

Awwww Sky is such a nice guy, supporting Bloom

He's no Brandon but ya know

Riven chilling in a tree: god I fucking hate mid te—oh shittt is that the enemy???

HE LOOKED INTO THE CAMERA LORD HAVE MERCY

Riven: omg I need to go gossip to my girlfriend RIGHT NOW

He's not even doing anything that interesting he's just a petty little gossip, what a idiot

Darcy: that's a lot of numbers and buttons.....

Darcy: fuck it, imma just break this thing

I fucking hate how this rabbit thing has hands

Is Faragona ok??

How did Darcy know Bloom was going to go first? This plan is so stupid

Bloom: I wanna work on a damaged environment

Flora: WOOOO!!!! GO TEAM GO!!!!!

I-

"Well there's this place called Domino"

Domino is treated like it was destroyed hundreds of years ago and not like.....sixteen

The timeline is STILL on fire

Tecna is trying her best, love her

Goddamn you Faragona

Their playing with dolls

How have these three idiots not been arrested yet?

I think Bloom should of been allowed to burn their hands, just a little bit

As a treat

Why hasn't Tecna taken everything over to save Bloom??

Why has Kiko duplicated??? What the FUCK????

Dude said just magic the tech

Bloomy better get extra credit for this shit

Bloom being thrown up and down is so fucking cute y'all
