Word Find Tag

Thanks for the tag @eccaiia

My words are throw, forward, laugh, main, and music

From Nightshade

throw

“I won’t trust my son’s rescue to that monster,” he shouted. “He’s done enough harm already. If it were up to me he’d be thrown in prison and we’d never have to deal with him again.” “It’s not up to you,” her father’s voice had returned to its usual cold, flat tone. Its stark contrast to Jiren’s yelling gave his words more weight. Jiren blanched but still set his jaw stubbornly.

forward

There was only one way forward for them. That was to put an end to her father and the world he’d spent his life building.

laugh

“So Kid—“ Gram was interrupted by beeping from his phone. He pulled it from his pocket and let out a laugh when he saw it was Mel. He was in trouble. “Sorry gotta go. See you later Kid. I’ll tell Luc to bring you some pain meds. And some real food."

main

Gram pulled a base map from his pocket and laid it out on the bed. “Prison’s here,” Gram pointed to their location on the map. “We’re one floor down from the main level.” The kid shook his head again. “This isn’t the Garrison,” he said. “There’s no way I can fight my way through this base, and out of the city, on my own. It’s suicide.”

music (from my Iris and Nolan story)

The girl was nowhere to be seen. He checked the nearby rooms and even took the stairs down to the basement, though he doubted he would find her in the recreation room, where he could hear music and loud laughter.

Your words are tumble, fun, voice, elbow, and style

A soft knock woke her. Mrs. Avery entered the room carrying a tray of food.

“You shouldn’t have,” Iris started to say, feeling embarrassed to have Mrs. Avery wait on her.

“Nonsense, why shouldn’t I?” Mrs. Avery stopped her, her voice kind but firm. “I wanted to check on you and bring you something to eat. I might not get a chance later. The Grand Marshall and his son are coming for dinner.”

“What?” Iris squeaked, noticing Mrs. Avery’s dress for the first time.

“Yes apparently they arranged it last night, but don’t worry, no one will think it impolite of you not to make an appearance. It’s only the two of them and I’m sure the conversation will be nothing but politics.

“What about Lucan?” Iris asked. It was sure to be a long evening. She hoped he wouldn't be expected to sit through all of it.

“I’ve told him he can be excused after greeting our guests.”

“Couldn’t he come have dinner with me?” Iris asked. “I’ve had a lot of rest already, and I’d love the company.”

Mrs Avery pursed her lips thoughtfully.

“Oh alright, but I expect you to stay in bed and not overdo it.”

“Thank you ma’m and thank you for bringing up dinner. It’s so kind of you.”

Mrs. Avery smiled. “You just focus on feeling better dear, alright?”

After she left, Iris groaned and flopped back against her pillows.

He was coming here. Tonight.

Would he ask about her?

She couldn’t decide if she was relieved or disappointed to be stuck in bed.

She wanted to see him. She knew it was probably better that she couldn’t.

Making A New Home – Iris Bearden/Jean McBrian/Lydia Nolan

A/N: Day 20 for @polyamships Multiamory March. GIFs made for me by @whoreofthecottage

“I’m… really glad I made the journey here. To America.” Jean’s voice is soft even as she smooths a hand through Lydia’s hair, working quietly as she plaits the girl’s hair, noting the soft smile that comes to Iris’ lips and promising herself she’d keep talking, even if she was a little shy. “I’m glad I came… I’m so glad I met you, Iris… Major Sixth. I’m glad I got to… I’m so glad I could be there to help you Lydia. I’m glad I get to make a new home, here, with both of you. I could not be happier.” She means every word.

[nothingtherefornow]

The part about Gabriel being seen as a hero who helped defeat Monarch don't even shock me anymore because it unfortunatelly makes sense for plot reasons, if the ml writters and producers want to keep Tomoe Tsurugi as a villain and leave Adrien out of trouble with the medias and parisians for a while (he would have faced a very difficult situation if his father had been officially revealed as a supervillain)

We don't know for sure if Gabriel being seen as a hero is part of what he whished, or if it was just the doing of Tomoe her best to clean heself out of this mess. Because of the pivotal role the alliances rings she and Gabriel created played in Monarch's final ultimate plan, something that would have been noticed by people at some point.

As for making Adrien either forget or ignore how awfull his father was, it's obvious they made it so there would still be room for some Adrinette drama in the future.

Think about it, part of what kept us interrested in the show was the love square, but with Adrien and Marinette fully dating and committed to each others, what love drama is been left ?

The truth about Gabriel being hidden from Adrien may play a role in a future temporary break up between Marinette and Adrien, and no matter how dissapointed some of us could have been with the season 5, we'll want to see how things will turn out after how they've been build up.

And also, let's not forget that the show would want to make us of the secrets Lila stole from Gabriel during Revelation. Lila didn't have the occasion to use those secrets against him in the last episodes of season 5, but there's no doubts she's gonna use those in season 6 to cause a situation that will be prompt to cause a lot of akumas, and that could mess with Adrien's relationship with Marinette.

Lila will need that at least to go against the power of the Lucky charms that can now purify akumas, as long as they are fueled by positive emotions. So what kind of situation would make parisians feel so much more negative emotions than positives ? Facing the revelation that the person they hailed as a hero and admired has in fact being villain that tormenteed them for so long.

For those who watched the Dark Knight movie trilogy of Batman from Chritopher Nolan, remember what happened during the second movie ? The one when the Joker managed to corrupt Harvey Dent, loved by all Gotham and look up to as a heroic figure ?

After Dent turned crazy and tried to assassinate Commisser Gordon family and died from this attempt, Batman and the Commisser were afraid that the truth about the beloved White knight of Gotham turned evil would cause chaos and riot among the Gothamians. That it would sent to waste the proof of humanity that two cargos bombed by the joker, one of condemned gothamian prisonners and one of civilian gothamian, just demonstrated a few minutes ago in the movie.

So to avoid that they lied to Gotham and made it seem that Harvey Dent died as a hero instead as a criminal, and that Batman was the one responsible for the prosecutor

And so what happened when Bane revealed the whole truth about Harvey Dent's in the third movie thanks to a a secret confession letter of Gordon ? Even so Gotham's trust in Batman had been restaured, Chaos rised in the city, and the Gothamian become fractured.

I can easilly imagine Lila wanting to cause that kind of chaos in season 6 in order to do a scaret moth kind of attack.

This season 5 ending wasn't a conclusion at all, it was all a set up for season 6 and 7.

Also I have the feeling that we haven't seen the last of Gabriel after season 5. Remember the kwatagama thing ? or the fact that some Akuma can create living nightmares, or that Time travel is still a sthing ? There still so many possibilities, and so many occasion to make Adrien stand up against his father's villainy and abusive actions in another context.

Say what you want about Parisians celebrating Gabriel for killing Gabriel or whatever, but honestly whenever I think about the fact that Gabriel died with the last memory of his son being Adrien sobbing and crying and pleading “mom would hate what you’re doing” and desperately trying to get away from him, and his last memory with Nathalie was of her literally attempting to murder him with a crossbow, I feel soooooooo good.

He died knowing the only two living people he had a semblance of care for despised him.

Headcanuary Day 2 - Weather

Following up on Day 1’s headcanon, @ml-nolan and I came up with a rivals-to-lovers Gaulcienne murder mystery botany AU. Lucienne breeds rare iris flowers and enters them into contests. Gault is one of her fierce rivals, she breeds magnolias. Gault thinks Lucienne is just some rich brat trying to show off (she’s not, Morpheus is just rich and funds their shared hobby) and Lucienne thinks Gault’s just mean. The Corinthian is an avid cactus breeder. The Constantines’ pride and joy are their 500 year old roses. Cain gets mad at his brother Abel and murders him with his own belladonnas, but tries to frame the Corinthian for it.

Obviously this all takes place in the middle of the summer in the great outdoors (can you tell I'm missing the warm weather???)

"Sunk in the grass of an empty lot on a spring Saturday, I split the stems of milkweed and thought about ants and peach pits and death and where the world went when I closed my eyes." (The Bluest Eye – Toni Morrison, 1970)

the flowing maxi skirts of the hippies and the flare pants of the disco queens made the 1970s the era of fashion that we think of today. the continued popularity and production of synthetic fabrics widened the closets of everyone and allowed for more experiments in style. the patenting of a rotating, multicolored garment printing machine in the 1960's directly led to the popularity of t-shirts and vibrantly patterned garments in the 1970's. polyester allowed for certain fabrics to be mimicked, like silk and velvet. like in the 1960's, fashion came second to comfort and personal style.

Thanks for tagging me @thegreatobsesso

I'll pass on an open tag and also tag @ashen-crest @tabswrites @ambiguouspuzuma @author-a-holmes @bloodlessheirbyjacques @withlovelunette @odysseywritings

I decided it would be fun to do a different POV for each snippet (chosen randomly by the wheel of destiny). Putting them under the cut:

Iris POV

She nearly jumped when Lucan’s small hand rested on her arm. “Sorry,” she whispered, and took his hand. He squeezed hers like it was a lifeline. His face looked calm, as it almost always did, but she could see the way his eyes darted around the room. He looked a little pale and she knew he must be feeling the same as her—overwhelmed and out of place. They followed behind the Averys as they moved to greet their hosts, but all Iris wanted to do was hide in the corner of the room and hope no one noticed her.

Nolan POV

Nolan crumpled the letter in his fist before he’d even finished the last few lines. He’d been a fool. It was no wonder his father had summoned him to dinner. He’d behaved in a way that did not fit his station. He’d repeatedly sought out a girl he knew nothing about. He’d even sent her a letter. And all along it had been a lie. Dr. Avery may be charitable enough to believe otherwise, but Nolan wasn’t so foolish. Only foolish enough to fall for her deception in the first place.

Lucan POV

“When was the last time you ate something besides this junk?” Lucan asked, gesturing toward the half-eaten meal. Gram grimaced as he shrugged and Lucan knew the answer. Lucan turned back to the door. “I’ll be right back. I'm going to buy some groceries." Gram didn't respond, but it was fine. He didn't have to. He had answered the door. That was enough to let Lucan know he would answer again. “The door’s unlocked,” Gram said quietly before the door closed and Lucan smiled.

Kaori POV - Nightshade

After she told them her plan, Jiren’s face turned red with rage. “I won’t trust my son’s rescue to that monster,” he shouted. “He’s done enough harm already. If it were up to me he’d be thrown in prison permanently, and we'd never deal with him again.” “It’s not up to you,” her father’s voice had returned to its usual cold, flat tone. Its stark contrast to Jiren’s yelling gave his words a chilling weight. Jiren blanched but still set his jaw stubbornly. “For now, leave us," her father continued. "I will talk with him and my daughter alone.”

Gram POV - Nightshade

“Have you seen him, Nolan?” Gram asked incredulously, “He’s just a kid. There’s no way all the rumors about him are true. Sure, he’s been involved in some of the Syndicate's attacks, but he didn’t do it alone.” Nolan just shook his head. “Kid or not Gram, it doesn’t change the facts. He’s dangerous. I intend to do everything in my power to see that he’s brought to justice.”

Ryu POV - Nightshade

“Remember, Ryu,” Kaori paused, hesitating. “Remember when we find him that he can make you believe anything he wants you to believe. Why do you think so many of our operations were a success? He can get in your head if he wants, change what you think or even what you think you see.” Ryu’s eyes widened. “This is the first I’m hearing about that. Can telepathy really do that?” A brief smile flashed across Kaori’s face and Ryu’s stomach dropped. He couldn’t tell what that expression meant, but he didn’t like it. “There are a lot of things father never told you, Ryu,” and she almost sounded sad for him. “That’s why you need me.”

Thea POV - Beyond the Darkness

She looked up to see who she had bumped into. A large man smiled down at her and stretched out a hand to help her up. “Hey sorry about that. You alright…” Thea’s own apology caught in her throat and she froze as the man’s question trailed off unsubtly. She could tell by his expression. He recognized her. He knew who she was.

I have to know about "some crosshair healing fic, ig?"

Hello and thank you for the ask! Also thank you @indigofyrebird for asking as well!

I love Crosshair. You all know that. But our favorite sniper has been through hell and back to get where he is now. And here's the thing, he's still not ok. So, I decided to write a post-series long fic where I put Crosshair in therapy to work through his trauma. One thing I gave him in the fic as assigned by his therapist is a journal because I feel that he would really enjoy writing out his feelings.

I borrowed from my own experiences with anxiety when writing and I'm doing some research in order to better understand PTSD and what methods of therapy/healing in general work the best. There is some overlap with anxiety, but I want to do the best I can.

Snippet from his journal in the current chapter I'm writing:

"Iris and I haven’t talked about my self-loathing. And I don’t think I want to. Believe me, I’m aware of how bad it is. Honestly, I don’t even think her mindfulness techniques would help. I could repeat ‘my family loves me’ all I want, but it doesn’t remove the doubt I feel. I’m ashamed of all that I did during my time in the Empire, especially towards my family. I SHOT my brother. I did that. Not Hunter. Not Omega. Not Tech. Me. Sometimes, I can’t even look at myself without thinking of what I’ve done. I was told I needed to ‘discover myself.’ Will that help me move along on this path that I’m on? Will figuring out something as trivial as the shirt I put on in the morning help me move past what I did on Kamino? Probably not. The inhibitor chip was what turned me against my brothers. Except it was still my hand on the blaster and my hand alone that pulled the trigger. I tried to fight, but the horror I felt was like a little voice locked up in a box. It couldn’t get out. After the chip was removed, I still stayed with the Empire. There was no other path for me. How could there be? I was abandoned by my family. But I was still a solider. I am solider.” Crosshair looked down at his stump and sighed. “Not anymore it seems. I stopped being a soldier on Tantiss. The moment I shot Nolan was when I abandoned the Empire. What am I supposed to be now?”

This is the first long fic I'm committing to in over 3 years so I hope it goes well 😅

[avrablake]

I have a bunch of these saved in my drafts so I figure I'll start posting them.

Here's Nolan being wrong, as usual.

-

Nolan crumpled the letter in his fist before he’d even finished the last few lines.

He’d been a fool.

It was no wonder his father had summoned him to dinner. His behavior lately had been inexcusable. He’d thought Siri’s was different. Even though he knew nothing about her, he’d repeatedly sought her out at gatherings. He’d even sent her a letter.

All along, it had been a lie. In the end, she was just like every other girl he’d ever known. She only wanted to use him to elevate her own social standing. Dr. Avery may be charitable enough to believe otherwise, but Nolan wasn’t so foolish. Only foolish enough to fall for her deception in the first place.

Like A Comfort Blanket – Jean McBrian/Lydia Nolan/Iris Bearden

A/N: Day 15 for @polyamships Multiamory March. GIFs made for me by @whoreofthecottage

Caring for people isn’t always easy, but Jean knows, even as she brings Lydia home to Iris, this is right. Lydia needs a new, better home and Iris will always be the best person to comfort a lifelong friend. The three of them settle together, share chat and drinks, when bedtime comes Lydia settles safely between them, Iris’ body a soft pillow even as Jean settles beside her, wrapping herself close to Lydia, providing the slim woman a safe place to rest and be cared for. It is, for the first time, a place for Lydia to feel completely safe.

Writers Block

Okay, so I'm trying to write part 5 of "Shell-Shock" and I've gone through about 4 different beginnings and none of them are working for me. Something just isn't flowing with the beginning.

However, I know what scene I want to incorporate into part 5, so that's what this is.

Below is going to be an excerpt of one of the scenes I'm trying to get to. I just need to figure out how to get to it.

<><><><>

Wage suddenly found herself throw back against the wall. It felt like all her nerves were on end, itching and tingling in every fiber of her body. She took in a breath that had been lost upon impact, staring up with wide eyes into blue ones. "Wh-What are you doing!?"

Lou took slow steps toward her, a dangerous look in those glowing iris'. "You're delusional if you think you can just bail out now."

"Lou," Nolan had his hands out; brave enough to touch the blond, but not stupid enough to commit. "Let's just take a step back and think about this, alright? She's not actually leaving."

"Speak for yourself," Wage spat, her body still held against the wall by some unseen force. "Not my circus," she glared at Nolan, "not my monkey," she panned her glare to Lou. "I'm done tryin' to fix this possessed puppet. Let the factory do somethin' if he's such a problem."

"Oh no," Lou's upper lip curled up in a sarcastic smile. The itching feeling in Wage's body multiplied as he stepped toward her again. She squeezed her eyes shut a little from the discomfort, but she couldn't move. "You said yesterday that you'd help. You can't just toss me to someone else just because you're tired of trying."

The orange doll grunted. The sparks around Lou's hand elicited a brighter glow in their frenzied state. "I'm not gonna wait and get myself killed just for your sake!"

Lou was right in front of her now, noses almost touching. Her eyes widened just a tad. Just enough for him to know she was afraid of what he would do. What he could do. He felt -- like a strange sixth sense -- the electrodes of her microfibers moving faster as her heartrate increased. It made his pupils dilate and everything around him suddenly seemed to bombard his awareness. Every atom that comprised the world could be felt. The way they moved and bounced against each other. How the solid atoms of the walls shoved and pushed just to keep the matter solid.

He felt the atoms the comprised himself pushing against those of the floor. How they never touched, but somehow repelled each other by a magnetic field.

The blond came to just enough to register the rapid movement of electrodes from the surrounding dolls. Nolan's was strongest given his proximity. About two feet away from what Lou could sense.

His breath evened out and Wage swallowed as his pupils dilated back to normal. The glow of his iris' didn't die out. Lou spoke softly, threateningly, "You got me into this mess...now you're gonna get me out." He looked back and forth between both of her eyes. "Am I clear?"

Wage grit her teeth, jaw tight as a rush of anger from the coercive authority filled her. Her body remained bound to the wall. The energy that rippled through her got stronger suddenly and she winced.

"Am I clear?" Lou repeated, hissing through his teeth.

Wage swallowed, huffing out a struggling breath before meeting his eyes through squinted ones. "C-Clear."

Her body was released from its visible restrains and she fell to the floor on her knees. Lou didn't bother seeing the reactions of the others before turning on his heel and walking down the hall. He needed peace and quiet.
