Synastry Observation 🕯️

Please don't take this as astrological facts. These are more my experience and perspective. The whole chart and aspects must also be considered.

👥 As much as I love a good moon in the 11th, I do recall every person showing some sort of over interest in my longterm goals and who I am friends with. It kinds gives they feel some type of way about the friends you make or can get very personally offended by the way you go after your goals and even the community you’re in. Of course more with affliction and squares to your eighth.

👥 I always recommend if looking into synastry for families/generational curses/childhood trauma/familial bonds to look at their Lilith energy between each other. My family member who birthed me has their Lilith retrin my 12th house. I always think they are trying to have power over me subconsciously or questioning my mental health (12 house). Over all a hidden opp at times but very dedicated and nosey on what plans or how to crack your code.

👥 Saturn in the 8th house is oppressive in synastry in many ways if not balanced. I find these individuals are pocketwatchers to your debt towards them even when they give it comes with some resentment.

👥 Yes that mans venus is touching exactly on your mars, I think your attracted and may want to you know. Yes your venus is touching their mars … yes they want you or maybe they have thought about it. In context to most sexual and relationship area this aspect creates the right tension. It is not as direct as mars wanting you in the first house it is a take you out to dinner first kind of fuck you.

👥 Mars in the 1st house either wants to fuck you, compete with you or argue, fight with you or just all of the above. At some point 🤷🏾‍♀️ to some degree maybe so.

👥 Uranus in the 9th may feel estranged to your dreams/goals/ideologies. They may come from a different religion that may demonize or judge your beliefs. They feel your way of life is a revolution to their own. It either tears you down or feels welcomed by its difference.

👥 If your parent has their neptune in your 10th house of Career/Legacy/Who your parents want you to be/Your social status...I do feel for the way they project and want to control you. Very controlling of the narrative of who you want to be. They project their own failures and need to do what they never got to do. Then they hold you to a lot of standards to make sure you turn out the way they want. They want you to live the life they projected onto you at birth or really young. Weird effect of Neptune/Afflicted Neptune/Capricorn Neptune in Saturn’s House

👥 10th house synastry is superficial. If I were to say anything else. No matter the placement, they all manifest this differently but in the same energy. If someone is falling on top of your tenth house make sure your relationship isn't based on appearance or the "idea" of you and what you bring into their status (life).

👥 As much as that Moon/Mars is gonna draw you is as much as it’s gonna fuck you over....you will be annoyed by what drew you in 😬. With this synastry are you ready to be madly in love on the plight than the mars actions that disrupt or activate the hidden emotional world of the moon, make you think your not 😃. if you don’t really want to feel that feeling, tension and resistance even though this is someone you want I recommend taking that shit slow please.

👥 See my problem with 8th house energy is its attention. Your sexual partners mars or moon falling in your 8th can really make them want you in that way but it’s the house of debt and others peoples money it’s inherently shadow like and has a touch of mystery. Like stop making secret passes at that lady in the dark or giving the eyes. Stop taking someone out to eat and taking them back to your place. Stop not ignoring the urge to touch….and touch…and touch all the time. Being so goddamn intimate. Yes that shit can turn really ugly really quick. And your not gonna “die” per say from synastry like this in the house of death but when they leave or if they hurt you it’s gonna hurt just as much as it felt good in the moment. You might feel like a part if you is actually dying. But y’all stay safe out there 🙂.

👥 Jupiter in your 7th house you say…well I SAY you want that man to be your husband, that woman to be your wife, their soul to be your equal, you want that partner title with them because they fit into your world and they elevate in the way you dream. Maybe they are your dream but I think you like em a bit to much, Jupiter is an abundance is it not, for better or for worse.

[superbat-lmao]

Give me a fic where all of the batsiblings are thrown back in time but think they’ve been sent to an alternate universe because everyone is acting differently except Bruce, who really is the original version of Bruce.

It’s just before Ethiopia, Jason is holding a phone that’s already making a call. This time, Dick picks up and Jason spends all his time in this universe (timeline) wondering if Dick had just picked up if his own time would have gone differently.

Dick picks up and realizes his brother doesn’t have to die, that he wouldn’t have to become the Red Hood.

Both of their interactions with each other and Bruce and Alfred throw each other off because they’re trying to act like they don’t have future knowledge while being wildly weirded out by this alternate universe’s version of their sibling.

Cut to, Tim orchestrating how to meet Steph, Dick figuring out how to get Damian, Jason figuring out how to get Tim, Duke and Steph teaming up and Damian and Cass tracking each other down before being ultimately tracked down by Babs and Dick.

It’s a slow roll of chaos that steadily confuses Bruce and Alfred as more and more children come into the fold and they try and accumulate each other without giving away the fact that they’re “from a different universe” or letting any of the siblings realize that they have knowledge of each other from that other timeline.

Everyone but Dick and Babs is still a child and have varying degrees of training which makes most of them groan at having to relearn/regain their skill and muscle. But they’re all still letting themselves be the ages they are because none of them know the others would realize they’re actually adults/older and judge them for reliving their childhoods.

Jason has to pick a new hero name and reassess his fighting style and whether he wants to keep using guns. He doesn’t have the pit influence, this Bruce hasn’t made the mistakes his version did, and he doesn’t have to let history repeat itself. He also doesn’t get the same build he used to have and the childhood malnutrition really does keep its effects.

Tim and Damian get their own shock of being given the Robin mantle willingly. It’s easier the second time and Steph and Cass both get to think through the legacy of Batgirl and their own hero personas. Duke still has his parents, and eventually, his day job that comes without some of the prerequisite grief of joining the bat family.

But each time something occurs where the siblings get suspicious, they write it off as being a weird alt-universe.

I want to see Bruce and Dick patch up their relationship, for Bruce and Jason to actually talk about their emotions without being clouded by anger, for Bruce to accept Tim and Steph and Damian and Babs and Cass and Duke, to build several bridges without the loss of a child clouding his judgement. For Dick and Jason to finally have a shot at being brothers without resentment, for Jason and Tim to be brothers without jealousy, for Tim and Damian to be brothers without resentment/jealousy. For Steph and Babs to not doubt their places and for Cass to be the only one that suspects since she can read them all trying to hide something but also knowing that if none of them realize they all already know each other they will have room to grow in ways they hadn’t. For Duke to be able to be a part of something incredibly special while still getting to keep his family like Steph does.

I want Bruce and Alfred to just kinda, learn to accept the chaos. To write it off as their special brand of chaotic family and not some sort of secret being hid from them.

Hi, I have a couple thoughts about your heir of slytherin request. I'm sending through here as I wasn't sure if you wanted it kept quiet.

I would think that specifically for the heir, the basilisk would 'know' they were at school, and would regularly call out to him. You know, 'free me, come find me,' that sort of thing. So Ominis is sorta tortured by fairly constant pleas.

The basilisk is not blind at this point, so some ideas about how it was destiny that Ominis was born blind because the basilisk would be his literal eyes. Maybe as magic grows stronger, or he becomes friends with the basilisk, he finds that the connection will allow him to sometimes see through basilisks eyes - similar to how Harry could see through Voldemort, or more interesting, that the connection works the other way, and Ominis finds he can kill someone if they look into his eyes.

just some thoughts :)

First of all, so sorry this took me so long to reply!!! Also I love your thoughts about this cause YES!!! I LOVE IT!!!

I've been busy, but I have been contemplating about Ominis and the True Heir/Serpent Bearer idea in the meantime. I had written down my initial thoughts and some research I've been looking through below:

"I would think that specifically for the heir, the basilisk would 'know' they were at school, and would regularly call out to him. You know, 'free me, come find me,' that sort of thing. So Ominis is sorta tortured by fairly constant pleas."

It seems we are on the same wavelength cause I was thinking the same thing!! I love the idea of Ominis hearing the Basilisk and it only ramps up more and more as he matures. I also really like the idea of him having dreams about the Basilisk (let me have my weird dream vision quests).

I have read that the Basilisk is in a magic sleep, so I was wondering if the Basilisk would still be able to communicate?? Anyways, lets get into the Chamber of Secrets itself.

"There was clear evidence that the Chamber had been opened more than once between its creation and the twentieth century."

"...the Gaunt family could not resist boasting of their knowledge. It can be presumed that they opened the Chamber and awakened the creature in different occasions, yet none of them dared unleash the monster, until Riddle."

It's also interesting that the Chamber of Secrets (at least according to this sources linked above) has been opened several times -> most likely by the Gaunts. And Corvinus Gaunt was instrumental in ensuring the Chamber of Secrets remained... ya know secret; by concealing the entrance to the CoS behind plumbing fixtures.

It seems the Gaunts have had several opportunities to open the CoS, unleash the Serpent of Slytherin aka the Basilisk, and wipe out the Muggleborns, yet they never did.

Which begs the question.... WHY??

And now this is where the theories shall take off!

What is a 'True Heir'? What does that mean?

Well it could mean several things:

The "true heir" could be someone with an extraordinary connection to Salazar Slytherin's magical bloodline, possessing unique powers and abilities inherited directly from him. This connection might manifest as an innate understanding of Parseltongue, the ability to communicate with serpents, and an affinity for powerful serpentine magic.

Could mean that a True Heir is destined to help Preserve Bloodlines/Legacies - or even unite Bloodlines - as well as being the official 'face' of the Gaunts and navigating the Political World of Wizards.

Now, what does it mean to be the Serpent Bearer?

I saw an interesting theory about the moles on Ominis' face creating the constellation "serpens caput". Thank you @rypnami for posting this!! It's been so interesting to deep dive into this idea!

The different meanings behind the "Serpent Head" is quite interesting:

Literary: The serpent is often associated with various symbolic meanings in different cultures, such as wisdom, transformation, danger, or deceit. The head of a serpent can represent leadership, control, or the beginning of a certain phenomenon.

Mythology and Religion: In many mythologies and religions, the head of a serpent might have a specific significance within those stories, representing power, knowledge, or temptation.

Astrology: In Western astrology, the "serpent's head" or "North Node" is associated with a point in a birth chart that represents one's karmic purpose, future direction, and personal growth.

Alchemic: In alchemy, the serpent is a common symbol associated with transformation, and its head could be seen as a representation of the initial stages of a transformative process.

This is to assume that Ominis is indeed a Serpent Bearer. To add on to this Ominis will more than likely be a Guardian of Secrets. All of the Gaunt's family secrets being passed down to Ominis (as shown with the Undercroft). But the most important thing Ominis is able to do is having a deeper or magical connection to serpents. Specifically, the Serpent of Slytherin.

Now, why would this be important?

As shown in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the Serpent of Slytherin doesn't respond to just ANYONE speaking Parseltongue; as Harry tried to speak to the Basilisk, but she wouldn't listen to Harry's commands.

"She was blindly and unshakably devoted to the Heir of Slytherin...,"

"Though capable of independent thought, the Basilisk followed every command the Heir gave her. In fact, she only listened to the Heir of Slytherin, Tom Riddle (Voldemort) regardless of Harry being able to understand and speak Parseltongue to her in the Chamber of Secrets."

That's because the Basilisk will only respond and obey the words of a True Heir.

And this is why Ominis is so important to the Gaunts.

Why else would the Gaunts bother with Ominis?

Ominis doesn't follow their ideals, rebels against 'family tradition', and is inherently not a standard of 'Pure Blood Supremacy' (sorry but disabilities during those times were not exactly smiled upon. Most people with disabilities were seen as burdens to families and lots of other negative stigma associated around them).

You could make the argument that Ominis being a Gaunt would be enough for his family to keep him around -> the importance of his name outweighing everything else.

I'm more inclined to believe the argument that the Gaunts NEED Ominis. Ominis is important to them - NECESSARY to them - because Ominis is the True Heir of Slytherin and is the ONLY ONE able to control the Basilisk. They have a use/need for Ominis.

This must mean that 'True Heirs' don't come around very often (and how they come to be could be any number of reasons but let's just assume MaGiC). It would explain why the Basilisk was never unleashed all the other times the CoS was opened -> as they had no way to command the Serpent.

So why would anyone wanna unleash a deadly Basilisk that only one person could control onto a school of children besides being mustache twirling bad guys?

Lets picture this:

You are the Gaunts. You are on the cusp of running out of money, therefore about to run out of power. This has never happened before. You have ALWAYS been on top. ALWAYS been in power. Your name carries weight.

What would be a way to regain this loss of power and control? How could you convince the other Pureblood Families that you are still #1?

You demonstrate the power of a True Heir, and unleash the Basilisk onto Hogwarts (killing a whole generation of Muggleborns) and essentially controlling the school.

I'd say that's a pretty good way to gain control once again and more importantly power and respect. Not only would the Basilisk become like an attack dog for the Gaunts, but the Gaunts have shown they are willing to do ANYTHING to maintain their power. Because after all,

Power is Power

So, wrapping up, what might be some challenges Ominis may face?

Well, Ominis may be more inclined to use the Dark Arts/Dark Magic. He probably has to resist the temptation harder than most. It's in his blood, and I dare say his nature, to use Dark Magic.

Ominis also has the weight of 'living up to the family name'. He has the responsibility to either become just like a 'Gaunt'. Or, to show that even though he comes from a long history of Dark Magic, he is his own person -> capable of good.

Ominis more than likely does not like that he is a True Heir and he probably prays he isn't actually one (until he starts hearing the Basilisk's call for him). Now he's torn between who wants to be and what destiny is telling him to be. He has to deal with internal conflict of him feeling like no matter what he does, he will always be like his family - he will always use dark magic. In the end, he'll have to decide who he wants to be. A True Heir, or Ominis.

ALRIGHT to summarize this long post in a single sentence:

Ominis is more than likely the True Heir, and is the only one able to control the Serpent of Slytherin.

I would love to hear y'all's thoughts on this! The more I think about it, the more it makes sense (or I'm delusional and I'm connecting random dots that aren't there).

I've been writing an initial outline of how Ominis might come to terms with him being the True Heir and how he deals with it. Hopefully, I can post something about that soon!

I love discussions and no thought is a wrong thought!

Thanks for reading!! <3

For the swtor ask thingy, 10, 23, 25 26, & 27 for Aeseca?

I am VIBRATING with excitement, I LOVE infodumping for Aeseca!!!

(From these asks!)

My darling!!! 🥰

Okay...infodump under the cut!

10. What is their specialization class? Was there a reason they picked that discipline?

Aeseca is a Shadow, and stealthing herself with the Force is an ability she shares with her sister, Falx (although neither can agree who is better at it). She discovered this ability early in her training, and the Jedi nurtured it. She only stealths in combat situations on principle, however (unlike Falx) and prefers honorable combat when she can.

On the high level, I just like being able to sneak! 😂

23. Do they like their role in their current situation? ie: If they are a Sith, do they like being in the Sith Order?

Right now in my headcanon for the Silverblade legacy, Aeseca is not the commander of the Alliance, that responsibility falls to her other sister, Aeony. Aeseca is one of her top lieutenants and advisors, and often Aeony will delegate missions to her, like the Spirit of Vengeance mission (where she met a certain sassy Mandalorian!) and Ruhnuk (where she proceeded to flirt with said sassy Mandalorian!)

A part of Aeseca yearns for a simpler time, when it was just her and her little found family roaming the galaxy. But another part of her enjoys the excitement that comes from being part of the Alliance. Aeseca's natural curiosity sometimes gets her in more trouble than she bargained for.

25. Do they have any deep dark secrets?

Aeseca is not really the deep dark secrets type...she has never done anything wrong in her life, ever, and that is the hill I am prepared to die on!! However...

She does feel a pang of guilt that she developed a crush on Rass. She probably considers it more of a deep dark secret than it really is, but she still feels (as a Jedi) somewhat hypocritical, especially after she chewed Aeony out for getting involved with Arcann. At any rate, her little crush has got to have an outcome at some point! Aeseca just hopes its much, much later than it probably will be!

26. Do they have any vices?

Nothing super damning, but Aeseca is prone to a bit of jealousy, which she tries very hard to keep in check. Nevertheless, a small voice in her head constantly reminds her that she will never be as accomplished or adored as her sisters. This also leads to Aeseca having a bit of Imposter Syndrome, and an inferiority complex. She relies on her Jedi training to keep these feelings in check, and is mostly successful...so far.

27. Do they have any regrets?

Aeseca probably has the fewest regrets out of her big, weird family. Her regrets tend to be pretty insignificant, and she is able to ignore them and focus on the task at hand. Her biggest regret is probably that she didn't try and connect with her family sooner, but she's glad they managed to find their way together anyway.

Harry Potter: be born with privilege or you're fucked

(Backstory: I was chopping garlic when the 'crush it, don't cut it' instructions from the Half-Blood Prince were beamed into my head out of nowhere and suddenly, I was wondering how the fuck Snape even got the chance to learn that. It then escalated to a 90 minute rant at my poor partner about this topic)

I'll preface this by saying that I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has made this point and I doubt this is a unique point of criticism. I’m also debating how accessible I make this, since this is probably going to be more interesting to those who are unfamiliar with the writing in the Harry Potter series. That being said...

Joanne has this weird tension throughout the entire series where textually, she'll say that characters are dictated by their choices and are capable of becoming whoever they want to be, but subtextually, characters’ opportunities and identities tend to remain static, determined either through legacy/inheritance or innate talents and qualities.

The biggest offenders

Obviously, the epitome of this is Harry:

Inherits the Invisibility Cloak from his dad that allows him to succeed over and over again

Inherits both Grimmauld Place and Kreacher from Sirius, giving him both a safehouse and the means to find out what happened to the locket Horcrux

Is an innately good Quidditch player, a quality that characters attribute to being inherited from his father

Gains Parseltongue and a telepathic connection with Voldemort as a result of becoming his Horcrux (not strictly genetic/familial inheritance but he has it for nearly all his life so I think it counts)

The goddamn prophecy stating that he as a baby will take down Voldemort (and don't start on Neville, I'll get to him)

Inherits the large fortune of the Potter family

He gets to keep the Marauders' Map in the epilogue of the Prisoner of Azkaban because Remus thinks he deserves to inherit a creation of his father's (plus he got it in the first place from Fred and George)

Is protected by Voldemort via the blessing from his mother that requires him to live with blood relatives to be perpetuated (quick sidenote: I'm doing a lot of research to clarify some of my points because it's been a long time since I've read these books and the specifics on how that blood charm functions are vague as hell, to the point where it feels like it's just there to justify placing Harry with abusive biological family)

The whole Boy Who Lived persona - for practically his entire life, Harry receives celebrity status for surviving and killing Voldemort as an infant

Inherits the Resurrection Stone and the Sword of Gryffindor from Dumbledore

His initial wand being a "twin” to Voldemort’s due to both sharing the same phoenix feather core, which triggers the Priori Incantatem effect that allows Harry to escape during his duel with Voldemort in the Goblet of Fire. The wands being connected allows Harry's wand to act on its own accord in The Deathly Hallows, spitting out golden fire at Voldemort during the Order of the Phoenix's effort to move Harry permanently out of Privet Drive.

Kills Voldemort not through skill but because the Elder Wand recognised him as its rightful master (after a massive game of telephone surrounding who rightfully gets to inherit it post Dumbeldore's death), allowing for Voldemort's spell in the final duel to be rebounded back at him

Voldemort is fairly similar, which makes sense as he's one of Harry's main character foils.

Being a descendant of Salazar Slytherin allows him to inherit Parseltongue and access the Chamber of Secrets

He's also a descendant of one of the Peverell brothers of the Deathly Hallows, allowing him to inherit the Resurrection Stone as the Gaunt family ring

The whole "being unable to love due to being conceived under a love potion" thing

He’s a magical prodigy from a very young age, before he’s even given access to a wand, and is capable of spellcraft that others cannot achieve. He's basically the strongest wizard in the world aside from Dumbledore, and is good at everything from reading minds to dueling to potion making. God, I'm reading through the Wiki page right now for all of his powers and it really just boils down to "everything". He's created a shit tonne of spells too.

Snape is a lesser offender but my observations on him catalysed this "essay":

He's described as being more skilled at the dark arts at 11 than most seventh years and created a long list of his own spells - again, another prodigy

He also created his own variations on potions that allowed someone like Harry (who's been reiterated as mediocre with potion-making) to succeed in Slughorn's class – he’s implied by Slughorn to be the best potions expert seen within the series as a teenager. As an adult, he’s responsible for brewing the potion that keeps Dumbledore alive after being cursed in the sixth book and for brewing the draught that keeps Remus’ wolf form docile in the third, potions that don’t appear to be brewable by any other character.

Hermione is another prodigy who, while not having a lot going for her in terms of legacy/inheritance, is also earmarked as innately special. Intelligence and magical ability aside, her access to the Time Turner as a 13 year old is fucking buckwild. Especially since McGonagall had to write to the Ministry for her to use it and receives approval because Hermione is seen as a responsible enough person. This clearly isn’t a privilege that’s awarded to dedicated students either, this is just her being special.

This next bit isn't really the strongest bit of evidence supporting my cause but I'm putting it in here because it weirdly fits in with everything else: Scabbers/Peter Pettigrew is introduced into the story via Ron inheriting him from Percy. Whether a proper Chekov's gun or a plot point that Joanne came up with later, it still fits this ever-present idea that you have to be born into being important.

2. Magic only works when you're good at it...

This next bit may be more of a consequence of the series having a more soft-magic approach than hard magic (soft magic having little to no rules/limitations on how magic functions vs hard magic being very specific on how it can be used). However, because Joanne never really describes how new spells get created or elucidates on what makes certain spells harder to perform than others - the method to become an Animagus or creating Horcruxes come immediately to mind - new and/or difficult spells only get performed by characters who have been marked as special from the get-go.

Hermione, Snape, Dumbledore, and Voldemort are some of the only characters we met that we see creating their own spells and are all described as geniuses one way or another. Others like Sirius and James are also well-established as talented students to help justify why they're capable of creating items like the Maurauder's Map.

3. The genetics of magic

The idea of the Squib (non-wizard born to a wizard family) is  an under-discussed concept within the series - disciplines like Herbology, Potions, and Magical Creature Care don't appear to require wand usage yet Squibs are still barred from attending Hogwarts. We only meet two Squibs within the entire series and both are elderly people who are treated unfavourably by Joanne (Filch is a pathetic curmudgeon ridiculed by students and Arabella Figg is barely in the plot and doesn’t seem to actively participate in wizard society). Again, another instance where Joanne makes it clear that if you're not born in the right circumstances, you're fucked.

This goes without saying but it's also worth repeating in this context: there's a lot of blood quantum and pedigree within the series in regard to wizarding blood, and being pureblood is still seen as highly prized at best and neutral at worst depending on the social context, despite the highly implied inbreeding and pervasive supremacist attitudes associated with these lineages. Meanwhile, while being Muggleborn doesn’t carry stigma in mainstream wizard society, it’s not uncommon for wizards to be ignorant and condescending in Muggle matters. There’s multiple times where Hermione as our main Muggleborn character is embarrassed or ridiculed intentionally or otherwise for having a different upbringing to conventional wizards. Or, vice versa, where her lack of upbringing in wizard culture puts her at odds with other characters. S.P.E.W. is the biggest example where her pointing out and trying to remedy a genuinely heinous part of wizard society is treated both in-universe and by Joanne as her just being bossy and overbearing as per usual.

A brief aside: from memory, I can’t remember a major Muggleborn character aside from Hermione. Most of Harry’s classmates are either pure or half blood.

When it’s comparatively rare to get a wizard from Muggles and it’s rare to get a non-magical person from wizards, it does stress the point that how you’re born/your lineage is a big deal.

(Just looked up Muggleborn characters and apparently Joanne stated in a 2007 webchat that Muggleborns are descended from Squibs… my point stands. And in terms of notable Muggleborn characters, we have Lily Potter, the Creevey brothers, Moaning Myrtle, and Colin Finch-Fletchley. The term “notable” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.)

4. Wizard culture sometimes gets pointed out as fucked up and then no one acknowledges it again

The existence of Slytherin House is a big example of when Joanne says one thing but means another: Harry being a good fit for Slytherin according to the Sorting Hat initially comes across as somewhat subversive in that the hero possesses conventionally negative traits and implies that the demographic for Slytherin is much more diverse than we've been led to believe. But between the book never having a single heroic or even positive Slytherin student and Harry's Parseltongue being from Voldemort, that undermines any semblance of nuance. The existence of Peter Pettigrew as an "evil" Gryffindor similarly compounds this, since Joanne makes it clear that Pettigrew has been a pathetic dude his whole life, riding on the coattails of more competent men like James and Sirius.

And before this gets brought up, both Regulus Black and Snape still became Death Eaters, with Black dying without making meaningful change and Snape being motivated by selfish reasons to become a double agent for Dumbledore and never really renouncing the views that led to him becoming a Death Eater in the first place. They both did a lot of bad before their betrayals of Voldemort, and can’t be seen as solely heroic or just.

The Sorting Hat explains in-canon that it places people based on where they’d be the happiest or excel the most but these assignments received at 11 years old become the greatest signifiers of identity for wizards even as adults. House assignment and blood status are two of the common pieces of information we receive about a character to the point where, if you go through the Harry Potter wiki, you can find out that exact info about minor characters who maybe have had one line or been mentioned by name alone.

The distinction between your most prominent qualities and what qualities you should embrace becomes meaningless anyway - the most conflict we see between a character and their house is in Harry in the second book, and it’s based mostly off him being the suspected Heir of Slytherin. There is an argument to be made for Neville as well, but he stands up to Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the end of the first book and his character arc for the rest of the series is slowly proving more and more how well he embodies Gryffindor’s ideals until it culminates in him pulling the Sword of Gryffindor.

Pivoting to the wizarding world at large, there’s a lot of humanoids within the series that Joanne toys with giving sympathetic treatment before ignoring them and returning to the status quo because “hey, they’re not wizards.” Obviously, first to mind are the goblins and house elfs (not going to touch on the anti-Semitic nature of the goblins, more qualified people have covered this) but the centaurs are also a problem. They’re briefly humanised through the character Firenze, who saves Harry in the first book and eventually takes over Divination classes when Trelawney is fired, but he’s explicitly an anomaly to the rest of the centaurs, who end up brutalising Umbrage. Similarly, we get Grawp (Hagrid’s half-brother) who’s meant to humanise us to the giants, but the series still returns to the idea of the giants as a violent, primitive monolith and they end up siding with the Death Eaters in the Second Wizarding War.

5. Joanne’s not really one for character arcs

This next bit is more to do with the series' genre, being essentially a boarding school mystery more than strict fantasy, but characters don't often actively change in the series - instead, characters are typically reframed via new information.

1st book: Quirrell (secretly Voldemort), Snape (he's actually good)

2nd book: Hagrid (not the heir of Slytherin), Tom Riddle (he's Voldemort), Gilderoy Lockhart (fraud and plagiarist)

3rd book: Remus (werewolf), Sirius (didn't betray Harry's parents/kill Peter), Peter Pettigrew (didn't die, actually betrayed Harry's parents)

4th book: Mad Eye Moody/Barty Crouch Jr

5th book: Umbridge (sent the dementor after Harry)

6th book: Tom Riddle/Voldemort again (backstory)

7th book: Snape again (he's still 'good'), Dumbledore (had fascist leanings as a young adult, knew Harry needed to die to kill Voldemort for good)

After a while, this trend reinforces this idea of innate quality that sooner or later characters must return to. No significant change is really permanent because Hagrid wasn’t actually the Heir of Slytherin, Sirius didn’t really betray his friends, Dumbledore wasn’t caught off guard and murdered in cold blood, Ron doesn’t mean to abandon his friends for as long as he does in the hunt for the horcruxes....

And often when characters do change in meaningful ways, we aren’t shown what happened to initiate this, like with Peter Pettigrew betraying the Potters or when Lily started dating James despite his cruelty. That last one is especially egregious, since the jump between James torturing Snape and James and Lily getting together is waved away by Sirius going “yeah, he was a bit of a dickhead but he grew up”.

If we looked at each major character's arc over the series, what can we genuinely say is different about them now? Maybe that Ron is a little less stubborn and obnoxious than he was as a pre-teen and Draco is not as much of a wizarding supremacist as his father. Draco doesn’t get much of a real redemption – he doesn’t ID Harry to the Snatchers, preventing him from getting turned over to Voldemort, but then he still tries to stop him in the Room of Requirement so that becomes a moot point. Also, he still marries Astoria Greengrass, a pureblood, so it's not like he's really evolved.

Neville probably had the most significant changes within the series, growing from an awkward, clumsy kid into a confident adult, but so much of this is him becoming in essence what he was always meant to be. His actions in supporting the wizarding resistance mirror his parents' work as Aurors and members of the Order of the Phoenix. He still fulfils the prophecy in beheading Nagini, the last Horcrux, helping to defeat Voldemort, a prophecy that previously could have applied to either him or Harry.

The epilogue really just drives home the whole point that Joanne sees everyone as born into specific roles: everyone is paired up with the member of the opposite sex that they were associated the most with in high school (forgive me, I’m an ace tranny and pointless match ups are a sin to me). But more to the point, they’ve taken their parents’ place and their kids are all analogues for them at the same age. Despite everything that happened, everything’s exactly the same or as it should be. They’re still separate from Muggles despite how wizard supremacy drove the previous conflict (and a lot of previous conflicts in-universe), Harry works in the government as an Auror despite being targeted by two different administrations (one of which wasn’t Voldemort-controlled), and known (presumably former) Death Eaters like Draco are still showing their faces in public. Almost identical to how things were at the start of the series.

No one is capable of change. The heroes are good, the villains are bad, and status quo is king.

As my partner pointed out while I was nearly hysterical ranting about this, it’s very much a middle class fantasy: you are born into a certain level of privilege that is owed to you and your success is practically guaranteed. Circumstances may change but the status quo inevitably keeps everyone in their rightful place, because don’t worry: you’re special.

In light of Joanne’s politics, particularly what she’s expressed in recent years, it’s interesting to see how this motif manifests in her writing.

hello lgbtq community its ur (almost) daily music man content

Scopophobia and general body horror beware!

WD Gaster DJMM!

Honestly, this was literally just based off the fact I saw WD gaster artwork. For a guy with multiple hands Gaster just makes sense to be my latest victim of Music Man'ification. He was going to be a centipede because centipedes are terrifying but I opted for a snake because i was too lazy to draw a kajillion little hands (even though i've made millipede music men... two)

Buuuut the snake aspect also helps with another little detail - as a focus on Gaster's experience on being yote across time and space, his body extends infinitely, across the cosmos, different realities, different timelines. His body is likely to be found as a black line across space but as he gets more lost his face remains almost never seen.

Long.

@linxprime's Space Guard DJMM!

I notice more details that I missed the more i look at this. I missed two whole arms! and i wish i could've shown his freaky two-thumbed hands, but these were all done in school and i had limited references. I'm probably redrawing your guy tomorrow because there's just simply TOO MANY mistakes.

Though I seriously have to ask you how you came up with the pant contraption. I feel like spiders are one of the the most ridiculous creatures on Earth you could attempt putting pants on and somehow you figured it out.

Pink Legacy! One of the few music men in my roster whose story i can actually explain in a single post.

They're not Music Man - They don't take the role or name of him. But they did take his head and are now wearing it like a trophy!

Way back before Pizzeria Simulator, before Music Man was even auctioned, someone noticed his suspicious demeanor and began to work at the company that created him to be able to secretly inspect him. They cracked him open one night and realized in classic FNAF fashion, "oh shit, there's bodies in this robot" and said robot proceeded to smash their skull between his cymbals before they could squeal about it to anyone, leaving their body to rot in secret.

The insects that aided in their decomposition, for some weird reason, ate them and received their memories. Memories of how to move, how to think like a person, and the very last thing they remember - getting totally murdered. Taking over the rest of their corpse they became this horrific bug colony and turned Music Man into scrap metal and wore his head as a trophy like the freak bug colony they are.

However, while they had their revenge, now as this new being they were haunted by the memories of not what was within him but the person they used to be, with attempts to come back to the friends and family ending in said friends and family being horrified of what just arrived at their doorstep. Eventually they had to flee to the wilderness and leave their humanity behind, though this bug colony began to embrace their new existence (Despite their appearance, Pink Legacy is just a creepy ass hippie).

But eventually humanity finds them again with a high schooler named Tillie finding Pink Legacy in the wilderness, and, despite the creepy haunted atmosphere constantly oozing out of PL, Tillie is admittedly too fascinated by them to not try and fuck around a little.

Despite PL's creepy vocabulary and... everything about them, somehow Tillie is able to discover that PL is harmless and the worst they will do is accidentally cause an ant infestation in your home.

19th's June 2024 Steam Next Fest Impressions - Day 4

Day 0/Day 1/Day 2/Day 3

Leximan

You are a wizard with word magic in a shitty wizard school.

In the overworld, that translates to typing out random words to get various effects. In battle, word fragments bounce around the screen, and you have to form a word with whatever you get to handle the situation.

As per it being a comedy game, my experience was making the wrong choices on purpose to see what happens. There doesn't seem to be any actual damage system, so it's just do whatever until you progress.

At it's height it is the best of early homestuck or problem slueth, laughing at the absurd consequences of an obtuse system. At its worst, the jokes feel incredibly forced. It's a land of contrast.

Biggest complaint is that I wish you could redo fights. I often found myself ending one early and wanting to see the other outcomes.

Mind Over Magnet

After years of telling people how making videos game works, youtubesman Game Makers Toolkit made a video game. A puzzle platformer about being a robbit and throwing your magnet friend around.

From the demo alone, it is... entirely cromulent.

It has puzzles that are puzzles. It's movement is smoothment. Nothing surprising, nothing disappointing.

It is a video game equivalent of a bowl of really good cereal or oatmeal with some effort put into it, with fruit chunks and everything. It's perfectly filling and enjoyable, and then you go about the rest of your day.

49 Keys

Apparently, this is an adaptation of a well received italian puzzle book.

It plays like an attempt to mix the classic text adventure style and the modern adventure game style. Most everything is text description with sparse illustrations, but interaction is done by dragging inventory items onto relevant paragraphs.

The plot is that you are a dominican priest or some other church official. Your teacher had not only been into church stuff but also astrology and occult stuff and would teach whoever had an ear. Church didn't like that, but he came from a wealthy family, so the best they could do is exile him to an island to continue his studies in peace and not corrupt the other clergymen.

On his deathbed, he sends the player a letter saying "hey I'm about to kick the bucket, I got a project I need finished, and I only trust you to do that." Which judging from the art and descriptions is some Lovecraft shit.

Unfortunately, the demo never gets to the lovecraft shit, ending right when you find a way to enter his house. While it didn't clock as "Scary" yet, they've got the historical fiction voice down, nailing the balance of antiquated sounding speech while still being easily legible. And they've got a good UI to add to that atmosphere.

Of course, the hot demon lady color spreads on the steam page kinda clash with that.

Curiosity piqued but expectations reserved.

Raining City: Millions Recollection

Gotta admit, I recognize it's sort of an unfair expectation, but after being burned by multiple chinese VN demos in previous next fests, it's nice to see one that's been translated to competent english. Not perfect, still has some pronoun switching, name inconsistencies, and some weird phrasing sprinkled throughout, but it was a naturalistic reading experience. I could consistently follow what was meant without much effort.

This is a supernatural mystery thriller. Lu Xuan is a member of a secretive group called "The Agency." She returns from a mission, expecting to relax, only for a mysterious lapse in memory to occur. When she wakes up, she's covered in blood, and there's a pure black hole in her hand. thin black lines wriggle out, spelling "100,000,000."

Before she can figure out what's going on, she's attacked by a creature that seems half dessicated corpse and half withering tree. After it rips off her arm, it regrows, with a few million dropping from her hand number. Thus starts her descent into the supernatural, as the new supposed "wealthiest woman in the world."

From the first two chapters the game has given, it's set up a lot of threads at once. The hand hole, the agency, a mysterious pawn shop, an unusual beached whale incident, the implication of a cult/religious group, multiple characters having simultaneous gaps in memory.

The cast feels well varied in both design and character voice, and I really like what the character designer is doing. I am guessing the backgrounds are based on photos because there's a nice sense of lived-in detail for a lot of them.

Definitely going on my wishlist.

Chapter 12.

The Lost Princess

Context: Binah’s living her best life on holiday in her London penthouse, enjoying the peace and quiet, when suddenly Lottie FaceTimes her at the ungodly hour of the morning (Ellie would riot.), tasking her to just casually break into their school, so that Lottie doesn't need to wait a few weeks to watch Season 3 of 'Ancient-Drama: The Legacy'.

Homegirl living in Covent Garden in London couldn’t be more perfect.

HIII BINAHH, MY BELOVED.

Before the chapter: Why didn’t Binah go to Japan? With her Korean background, we really missed out on a cool figuring-out-family-secrets arc. It would’ve been interesting to see her in a setting where she doesn’t have all the info from excessive stalking. Plus, the potential for a Sayuri and Binah friendship and bonding over Japanese history books?? We were robbed.

NO WAY THEY HAVE A ROOF GARDEN?! SHE’S SO PERFECT.

I appreciate homegirl staying true and consistent to her colour scheme.

Ok but her getting up early and starting the day slow is such a vibe. That's how I wanna live. (And I want the Penthouse.)

PLANT MOM BINAH. This girl’s got more plants than a Kew Gardens display and chlorophyll running through her veins.

Binah seeing a call from Lottie and instantly saying, "Yeaaa, screw my plans today, whatever that girl wants will 100% wreck it." Mood.

AWWW THEM FACETIMING

BINAH BREAKING INTO ROSEWOOD HDHDHSHDJS — Same energie as first-year Hermione breaking 352782 rules, setting a teacher on fire, continuing to drug her peers to do identity theft, trapping a journalist in a jar and blackmailing them for a year, breaking into a bank … Yea, you get the idea. So, any guesses who Binah's idol might be?

And Binah being excited for it???

But let’s talk about how wild this quest is—like??? Realistically??? Rosewood is for princesses and elite kids: The security systems there are probably tighter than those one of The Tower of London. Even during summer. And Binah’s just like, "Nah, I'm cool, let’s go." Babe, you’re not Kaz Brekker, and this ain’t the Ice Tribunal. (Or Gringotts, for that sake.)

Lottie’s a rose, and Ellie’s a Rhiganthella Gardeneri, a rare orchid. As the god spoke.

... According to the German translation. This is so weird, omg: I wanted to look up that flower name, and when I checked the English PDF, it literally just says: “Ellie was more difficult, a western underground orchid that required digging through the ground to reveal its sweet fragrant flowers,” without mentioning the specific type of orchid at all. I appreciate the information in my copy, except that it wasn’t even spelled correctly, lol. This also makes me second-guess whether Binah was only an insufferable little shit in Undercover Princess in the German copy, where she used unnecessarily long words for no reason. (Which, in case you’re unaware like Binah, doesn’t make you persuasive, since no one can follow your argument.) I rest my case.

Anyway, here’s the flower that Binah thinks represents Ellie the most, in case you’re curious:

🤐🎸🎅🏻 here

Hi :) it’s ok, I understand life is weird and unpredictable, I hope everything is ok now (and even if it’s not exactly, I hope you are ok!) 😊 I’m really happy to be your secret rocker santa so don’t worry if we don’t manage this every day, I’m really grateful for all the times we do 😊

Hehe thanks, absolutely I didn’t expect Led Zeppelin but they showed up when I needed them the most 🤣

Wow, great choice of a Madonna song! 🤩 Also much respect to your family who actually gifted it to you despite the controversy it caused 😎 I don’t know if people still say “based” (I’m not the youngest myself 😅), but it’s the word that came to my mind. And Innuendo is another incredibly based choice, I really like Queen but I had never listened to it closely, paying attention to the lyrics, until today. It really rocks!

Thank you for the question, it’s a good one :) specifically on In The Court there’s a song called Moonchild that starts like a normal song and then devolves into a long experimental sort of musical rambling. When I was about 3-5 years old and it was my bedtime my dad would play it and sit next to the stereo to skip back to the beginning whenever the “song” bit finished so it worked as a lullaby for me. I still use it today after over two decades when I feel too upset to sleep. Crazy coincidence: the evening before the news broke of Greg Lake’s passing I was in that sort of mood all night and I just listened to Moonchild on repeat.

Woah, that was a paragraph of big feelings! I’m gonna carry that into today’s question: is there a song (or multiple songs, or just an artist in general) that reminds you of someone in your life that makes you happy every time you hear it?

Aw, you’re very welcome ☺️ and like I said at the beginning, it’s a delight being your srs! And thank you for reminding me: the reindeer have been almost too patient with me, I need to go feed them! 😱😉 Have a good day too 😊

Hello! You’re incredibly sweet, your message made me smile and even got me a little emotional.

Yes, you can imagine how much controversy Like a Prayer (and that video!) caused, especially here! But when I was little, I was a huge Madonna fan, so much so that when she had her iconic concert in Turin (I still remember her saying in Italian, “Siete pronti? Siete caldi?”), my dad recorded it for me on videotape. He was a true music lover and passed that passion on to me as a legacy. Often, when I listen to certain songs, I feel like he’s still close.

To answer your question, there are so many songs that bring back special moments, but Brain Damage by Pink Floyd is tied to car rides with my dad. I always laughed so much when the crazy laugh came on at the end! Another one that makes me think of him is Águas de Março by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina. Not only for its rhythm and vibe, but also because there’s a moment when the two singers laugh together. My dad passed away recently, and every time I listen to that song, I feel like he’s right there with me.

And your story about Moonchild as a lullaby really touched me. It’s incredible how certain tracks become true sanctuaries, almost like doors into our inner worlds. You know, I do something similar with Echoes and Shine On by Pink Floyd. They’re the songs I turn to when the world gets overwhelming, and they always seem to know how to speak to me, bringing me back to calm.

Thank you for sharing such an intimate piece of yourself—it’s a rare and precious gift!

YOur just a Russophobe

I"m gonna let you in on a little secret...I'm a massive Russophile. I love Russian literature, I love Russian film, I love Russian theater, I love Russian Architecture I love Russian History, I love Russian Music. Culturally speaking I am a sucker for all things Russian.

I have Russian family (through marriage not blood), I've been to Russia multiple times, I even have a weird relative who is a Russian Orthodox priest (in no way related to the Russian part of my family it is very bizzare) who thinks Putin is god's gift to Russia.

At the risk of alienating all my Ukrainian friends, I actually think Kiev sounds nicer than Kyiv and I think Russian is a prettier language (Yeah this is gonna get me cancelled)

I just...Know what Imperialism is. I know how Putin's regime functions, I know how the Russian empire was made, I know the history of the region, and I know how Right wing disinformation campaigns work. me liking a culture doesn't mean that I am like "oh well its ok for them to do war crimes". I'm a huge fan of Japanese cinema, I don't deny the Rape of Nanking. Conversely, me not liking actions taken by a goverment doesn't mean I hate its people. Russia has a 140 million people (well less now), its a hugely diverse nation, it also has (had) a very large and very strong anti war movement). The actions of the goverment doesn't entirely reflect upon the people, especially since Russia isn't a democracy. Its a stupid nationalist view to conflate opposition to the actions of the Russian goverment with hatred of the Russian people (and for the record, I think what Latvia is considering with its Russian minority is racist and wrong).

Now there are parts of Russian culture I'm very critical of, specifically the same things I don't like about Americans. Like the US, Russia as a state is founded upon a legacy of colonization, racism, slavery, religious fanaticism and authoritarianism, and like the US you have this fucked up Manifest Destiny attitude where a segment of the population feel entitled to have a superpower status, its fucked up. But that isn't a wide spread condemnation of Russian as an entity, I can talk shit about any country that I am knowledgeable about.

[steeltwigz]

Also him being a "silly eccentric mad scientist!" Kinda takes away his importance to me? He's cool bcuz he was a brilliant man who encountered failure after failure, to the point where he made a pact with alien overlords to develop his research. He was so overcome w the need to develop a miracle cure for the sole purpose of saving his granddaughter he was willing to make insane deals w alien warlords abt it! He was strategic and smart and put in back-ups and fail-safes and secret messages into all of his work, he messed w Shadows memories, he programmed the ARK to kill everyone when it didn't work out. Becuz he loved his granddaughter so much that once she died there was no point in living anymore! And he wanted revenge so badly he was willing to kill everyone to get it! He's one of Sonic's most tragic characters. Taking away his seriousness and making him the "Funny Silly Villain! He's So Weird And Old!" is such a complete downgrade. This whole movie takes the intricate, sorrowful, painful backstory of this family's tragedy and legacy, and completely shits all over it. And like tbh Im embarrassed I didn't expect this to happen from the start. IN MY DEFENSE the game is Right There it's INCREDIBLE how poorly adapted it's looking to be when they had everything they needed RIGHT THERE. I think the movie could be fun. It'll have good action at the very least. But, as a Shadow fan and as someone w higher standards abt the amount of pro-military propaganda a film can have before its completely dogshit, that isn't enough to save it. Seriously HOW so you make SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG into a PRO-MILITARY PROPAGANDA PIECE. How do you make SONIC THE HEDGEHOG into a PRO-COP AND PRO-MILITARY PROPAGANDA PIECE. Like YEAH it's cuz he's a franchise and that's just what happens but I'm still appalled and disappointed.

It's also So Dumb that Gerald is alive. And like seemingly just chilling. We didn't need him back it's okay! Actually I think it's More Important that he dies at the hands of the military! I don't want Shadow to ever be able to talk to him to discover his True Purpose was always being friends w the military or whatever. The whole point is Shadow is haunted by this past he'll never be able to remember clearly, and he can never truly know if Gerald really cared or if Shadow was just another weapon at the end of it all. Also didn't that shit happen 50+ years ago. If this movie takes place in 2024-ish, and Gerald was already a grandfather w an approx. 12 yr old daughter 50 years ago, how old is he now??? I always thought he was supposed to b like. 60 or even 70. He has fully grey hair and sounds like an Old Old man. Is he supposed to be 110+ yrs old now? Did his experiments w immortality work, did he make some magic elixir that can keep ppl alive forever???? "Wait until the movie to find out! Maybe Robotnik just started hallucinating or it's some kind of hologram or robot!" I gotta b honest I think I'd rather just watch a long play of every single 320-smth route of Shadow the Hedgehog with no commentary start to finish w no breaks than watch him forgive the military for killing his only family (but not all of them I Guess) and freezing him for 50 years in Cinematic HD Quality.

Payback is a b*itch

Hope x fem reader

*not my gif*

Sunmary: You're Hope's best friend and she's finally got her humanity back. Which is great except the tribrid has been ignoring you and you don't know why.

A/N: so I wrote this before the episode where Hope actually turned her humanity back on and also naturally I assumed Landon would come back to life so he is in here too, briefly... And then forgot about it😬 anyway I hope you like it. Thought I'd post something since legacies has been canceled. Also I've never posted a fic on Tumblr so if this isn't right, I'm so sorry.

🦇🐺🧙🏻🦇🐺🧙🏻🦇🐺🧙🏻🦇🐺🧙🏻🦇🐺🧙🏻

The music is blasting so loud you feel the ringing echo in your ears. The party Lizzie Saltzman had planned as a welcome back for Hope and herself got more rowdy as the hours ticked closer to midnight. Yet you hadnt seen the tribrid anywhere all night. Ever since her humanity came back and she finally returned to the school (after taking a break to physically be with her family) you hadn’t really had the chance to speak to her , let alone see her.

It's as if she had busied herself with enough tasks to help around the school to make up for what her no humanity self had put them through. Not that she had to , everyone had forgiven her and found ways to move on yet it had never been easy for Hope to do the same.

You knew she’d been on a mission today with Alaric and Landon in recruiting some potential new students. Though you’re pretty sure they’d been back for a while and yet no sign of the auburn haired girl had been in sight.

Until of course you catch the tail end of a conversation between her and Landon,  not so far off from the party.

“I know I said I’d give us another shot but I don’t think it’s a good idea” you heard Landon say.

“What? Just because we got into an argument during the mission? You’re giving up that easily?” Hope answers and you can hear the hurt in her voice. You don’t mean to be listening in on what seems to be a very private conversation , but you also cant stop yourself. Neither can you stop yourself from slowly moving towards their direction.

“of course not! But between you throwing yourself into hero mode and your weird obsession with y/n lately I think you're just using us as a distraction for what you really want”

What?- was that your name? Did you really hear that or was your brain messing with you. Your cheeks felt warm , your heart racing at the idea that maybe , just maybe your secret crush you’ve had on Hope Mikaelson all this time could lead to something more.

By the time you try to refocus on the conversation its over. Landon's gone and Hope is left staring into the dimly lit  part of the woods leading back to the school. It’s then that you realize you’ve stalked your way towards the tribrid and that she probably knows you’re behind her so it’s not like you could just turn around and pretend you know nothing.

“How much did you hear” Hope asks , her back still to you , no way to tell if she’s mad or not.

“Not much” you start, “actually enough, is this why you’ve been ignoring me?” you decide you might as well be honest.

“I haven’t been ignoring you!” Hope exclaims.

Your brows furrow , her back was still towards you and you could tell her shoulders were tense. What was wrong with liking you? You move closer towards the tribrid with determination. Suddenly the frustration of her ignoring you all this time comes bubbling to the surface. So what if she doesn’t like you , you were friends first, best friends even. You don’t just ignore friends.

“Then why won’t you even look at me Hope?” you ask , your voice rising slightly when  the tribrid still wouldn’t turn around.

“I’m scared of what I’ll do to you”

What does that even mean? Her humanity was back on , why would she hurt you? Even when her humanity was off she barely touched you instead making you unconscious when you tried to stop her from leaving. So why would that warrant such a reaction from her?

You’re standing close enough now that you can see the way the shorter girls chest is rising and falling faster with every breath. Was she upset? If only she’d turn around and actually speak to you.

“I’m more scared of what you won’t do” you finally answer. Maybe Hope realized that your friendship just wasn’t enough for her or that she didn’t need you. But why would Landon mention her having an obsession with you if that were true? What did he know that you didn’t.

You’ve had enough of this , you grab a hold of Hopes wrist but before you know it she’s spinning around , eyes flashing golden before you feel it. The softness of her lips pressed harshly against your own. You barely have a chance to reciprocate before she pulls away , her eyes now back to blue searching yours for any sort of sign.

“I- Hope” you try to speak but you can’t find the words. What could you possibly say when your long time crush who you thought had no interest in you that way just kisses you?

“I’m sorry I should’ve asked first but ever since my emotions came back these feelings for you just wouldn’t go away— I didn’t even know I had them until a few weeks ago when I saw you at football practice and realized I really , really wanted to kiss you  after you winked at me- winked! You just winked , you’ve done it before and I never felt that way but then it happens now and all I could think about was kissing you!”

You’re still staring at Hope , eyes wide. First the kiss and then a rambling confession , your brain was still processing realizing Hope liked you.

You’re still holding onto her wrist,  your grip tight but not enough to hurt her. Well you don’t think you could even if you tried. Her gaze lowers to where you’re holding onto her then back to your lips , they linger there for another second before she is looking back at you waiting almost pleading for you to say something, anything. Her cheeks are practically red after that ramble and all you could do was stare gobsmacked.

But you still have no words. So you do the only thing that comes to mind and tug her into your chest. The shock is evident on her face not expecting you tugging her closer but then your free hand caresses her cheek and you feel her eyes on your lips once more once it settles that this is happening. You are going to kiss her. Hope leans in even more , a chill running through her as your hand trails towards her neck and then rests at the nape before pulling her in and just before your lips touch you ask “is this okay?”

The way her breath fans your face as she let’s out a breathy chuckle makes your stomach do somersaults. This was really happening. You were really here in the woods , inches away from Hope Mikaelson's face ready to kiss her. And have her kiss you , AGAIN.

“More than” She whispers out before connecting your lips once more. This time it’s softer , this time you kiss back with no fervor like you can feel Hope is trying to induce. Instead your kisses are languid , you savor each touch ,every taste you get from her lip balm. Bubblegum , not what you expected but not like you’re complaining.

You break a part minutes later , the fire in the tribrids eyes tell you she wants more. Craves it. And sure you want it to but not tonight. Tonight all you want is her and you spending the night catching up on lost time. And if you maybe decide to tease her with lingering touches or skillfully placed kisses through the night or even cutting off the makeout sessions when you feel it starting to heat up and it makes her blue eyes shine golden  in frustration. Well let’s just say she deserves it for ignoring you all this time.

Payback is a bitch.

Richard (III) Character Analysis;

Richard (III) is the main character of Baraou No Souretsu (Requiem of the Rose King) and its really well written manga and has deep characters. I started this manga cause of main character’s similarity with Sohma Akito from Fruits Basket. Lonely character who wants to be loved, hatred of their mother, unhealthy admiration and legacy of father, gender issues and unhealthy relationships, basically a tragedy. Manga has its own plot and some strategy for the sake of throne fights but story also focus on relationship between characters. Now, i wanna talk about Richard and everythings/somethings i wanna say about him.

Family;

The most tragic and ironic thing about Richard is that all he wants is just to be loved but at the same time, he keeps pushing people who loved him.

Which actually accurate reaction cause of his trauma. Since the day he was born, his mother hated him cause he is intersex. That mother's hatred, the fact that he has to live his life while hiding something about his identify lead him to be cold and closed towards other people. This is why even though he had people who treat nice towards him or even his brothers, he is still cold. Cause they DONT know ALL of him, that there is still a side he has to hide from them.

This is why only person who accepts him (except their servant Catesby), despite knowing his "secret" is his father. Which is why his father become light for Richard, that he is equal to god for him. Because to Richard, he is "demon" and "Real god" is no exist for him. Except his father. This is why his life purpose become his father. That his father, his light deserves the best. Even becoming a king. After all, his father said  "there is heaven in that crown", didnt he?

That fairy tale type of logic, something his father told to Richard, he still believes in him. Thats why he wanted his father to become king. And later he killed an innocent man to reach out to him. Thats why again later he was so obsessed with killing the King Henry for the sake of revenge of his father's death.

There is also a scene that we saw Richard kissing his father's death body. Well, for every child, their parents are their first love in a way. Richard's messed up admiration of his father, cause he is everything to him, including his complicated "sexual identify" issues, they all combined in here.

Richard also probably felt envy towards his brothers cause they are ‘normal’ and he is ‘not’ and probably cause of loyal family thing, there was probably a distance between siblings.

Its also weird that Richard betrayed his second old brother and let him die but he tried to protect his oldest big brother. The reason might be because his oldest one looked similar to his father.

The Pygmalion effect, or Rosenthal effect,  is a psychological phenomenon in which high expectations lead to improved performance in a given area. (Source).

And we also see how much his mother's words affected him during the story. That he is demon, he doesnt deserves and cant be loved. Because of some foolish witch curse, his mother basically ruins Richard’s life. If you constantly say a thing, then you eventually turn it into a reality. Self-fulfilling prophecy. Which is what his mother did with Richard. Turning hım to "demon" in a way. Its no concidence Richard later betrayed his brothers, just like his mother said he will. Richard just became what other people expected from him.

Though, Richard is actually just really kind, pure, innocent kid in deep, thats who he really is.

Henry;

Henry who has very weak mentality and is a lot older than Richard, they meet and having a "romeo-Julliet" type of relationship. Someone just naturally treats kind towards Richard and of course, Richard run away. He doesnt let his guard easiely. He does his best to stay away from him. Even though, he was affected by Henry's kindness. He craves for that affection. Its similar to crush and father figure. But Richard doesnt öpen himself and his priority is of course his father. They met more than once and Richard ran away from Henry over and over. After all, he never imagined normal life, he is convinced the fact that he cant be loved with his "true identify".

Though, eventually his cold hearth melts and he slowly opens up to him. He promises to meet him again. Even after he learnt that Henry is the enemy. He still come to him and show his "true identify". He was ready to let go of all revenge, pain, everything but Henry wasnt, i guess. He even says the thing he desired the most. "Love me, please". Showing his weakest side at first time. But it doesnt end well. It ends with the worst way as possible. Because of his mother's manipulations. And that moment, Richard "dies" and "kills" Henry.

Its ironic that they both die in a way and they reborn with New personalities. Henry lost his memory and become assasin. Richard become "demon", everything that his mother told. He actually being destruction, even betraying his brothers.

He wants to become king. As much as the reason seems like his brothers arent fit that role, he fits, thats not the Real reason. There is nothing left for Richard in this world except the fairy tale story his father told, that there is heaven in that crown. Also, as person who carries the name of the king Richard, his father's legacy, Richard goes after the crown and does anything to reach out to that, hoping to find happiness but he doesnt.

(Ironic part of Henry is that maybe things wouldnt happenned, if he didnt ignore the pain of people around him which is related to tragedy between him and Richard. One try to run away from legacy, pain and other try to run away from love, happiness.)

And later after meeting with Henry, Richard never opens up to him and ignore him during the story. Though, we cant blame him since Henry lost his memories was his way of escaping from reality. And at the end of the story, Henry sacrifices himself to help/save Richard. He makes enemy thinks he is Richard by wearing his ring and clothes or something and well, Henry dies.

Anne;

Next, Anne. Only female character Richard had some romantic feelings at some point. He even called her as his first love which also imply that he saw Henry more as father figure rather than as lover.

Actually those two could really work well cause of how stable and healthy their relationship is. That they could be really good partners in any way.

Anne also loved him too but they both separated cause of annoying misunderstandings. They both thought other one used them. Richard who was already closed and scared of that Anne wont accept his "true identify", he leaves. Lack of communication is the main issue between Richard and Anne, that they never opened each others. This is why Richard leaves and Anne agrees with marriage with Edward and later sleping with him cause she thinks Richard will never love him anyway.

Even after later, after Anne married with Edward and Richard killed Edward with "mercy killing", even though he didnt kill her father (it was Buckingham who killed her father), he never try to fix the misunderstandings and lead her to not see his feelings, pain. (Note;Anne and Edward also never tried to fix misunderstandings eithr and let Richard to think that they betrayed him so.)

 This is why their marriage becomes the cold one, they still have respects but lack the emotional connection. Because Richard closed his hearth again after his trauma with Henry's rejection.

If only he talks and open himself, they could be amazing couple. Yes, Anne had feelings for Edward at some point but still, she was still have feelings for Richard and that feelings could easiely turn into love again. Anne could eventually accept his "true identify" too. Cause later in story, she learns, yes her first reaction is running away but eventually she accepts him.

Richard spends most of his times with being king issues instead of connecting with Anne and her son. Anne becomes lonely and really exhausted cause of loneliness. They only opened each others after it becomes too late. Anne dies cause of some illness.

Edward;

Unexpectedly, he acts really brave for his love, especially compared to other characters. Yeah, he does love Richard cause he think Richard is woman (not knowing that he is intersex) but still, high possibility, Edward still would accept Richard and love him with his all or at least would stay as friends with him.

Their moments are entertaining and funny. He constantly flirts with hRichard but of course, Richard ignores it. 1- Edward is enemy 2- He thinks Edward wont accept his intersex body. Again, Richard ignores all of it, pushing people/Edward away and focusing his father’s legacy.

After learning that Edward is enemy, he also assumes that his enemies (Henry, Anne, Edward) are constantly playing with his hearth. That they are using him. Hurting him. He doesnt even think the possibility of being loved by them.

And later, Edwards gets killed by second brother of Richard. He never have a chance to tell his true feelings towards Richard, sadly. And Richard gives him a mercy killing in the end.

Another case of Richard misunderstanding (Its not Richard’s fault though) and pushing people who loves him. He learns Edward’s love until its too late. Its really a tragedy.

Buckingham;

Unlike others, the things Richard and Buckingham come together is for the sake of crown. As much as Buckingham has taken interest in him since the start, Richard accepts him when he lost his ‘soul’ and accepts to becoming a demon. They work together for crown. Buckingham becomes his kingmaker. Its parallel to king Richard’s relationship with Warwick/king’s kingmaker who is also killed by Buckingham.

Though, later Buckingham finds Richard’s secret and they start a sexual relationship. (He is also cheating his wife in a way). For Richard, first person who accepts this body. He view it as sin but still eventually accept it.

Richard has no self worth after all, this is why he dehumanize himself constantly in the story, using himself as weapon/tool to live in this world, otherwise it would be too painfull for hım. After this, we see Richard’s being more peacefull with his ‘woman identify’ too.

Richard also start developing feelings towards him and even comparing him with Henry. Confusing two Henry’s with each others. (After all, they have same names). They both opened up to each others, Richard even gets pregnant from Buckingham but later apperantly, king issues becomes more important than it.

Buckingham betrays and he sentences to death. Richard becomes the one who kill him, its also a present and goodbye in a way, i guess.

After becoming king and especially after the death of Buckingham, Richard starts to questioning his desire to become a king.

Realising that there is not a heaven in this crown. He is missing his wife Anne, his son Edward, Buckingham’s hugging him. He misses the affection he felt by people who loved him. He realised that he lost them. And its killing him inside.

Catesby;

Last one and also the most loyal person in Richard’s life. He knows Richard’s secret and accepts him since the beginning but he never opens his true feelings towards him until its too late, he just silently stays by his side because he thinks he can never be his light even though he could be, if he just opened himself to Richard. And Richard also never think the possibility of Catesby could accept him that way, even though Catesby proved his royalty towards him many times. In the end, Catesby always stays by Richard’s side, even in the end of story. (Personally, i wish those two to become together despite age difference since he was loyal to the most and yknow, boy needs happiness and love but well, this is all we got.)

Edward and Beth;

Not just those people but also Richard connected with some other characters. His non-biological son Edward and his oldest brother’s daugher Beth. They clearly fond of Richard very much.

Edward even say that Richard is his light, its a parallel scene to Richard’s relationship with father.

Beth also chose her uncle Richard over even her own mother.

But during the story, Richard hardly ever interacts and spend times with them.  And even at the end of story, Richard is not together with them.

And;

Another interesting and tragic fact is little thing Richard did in story has high effect on plot. He simply motivates his father to becoming a king but his father dies. He kills innocent man while rushing to save his father and the wife of that man he killed came back for revenge and cause trouble for kingdom. Etc etc. Richard is also parallel with witches in story in a way cause they are not accepted by this world. (I loved the scene where Witch Joan hugged Richard.)

Richard also most likely dies at the end but i would like to think that thats not what happen. Its really a tragedy. Richard and those people deserves better.

There might be things that i forgot to say but for now thats it. I also might edit things later. Its painfull cause Richard and all those characters desevred better. Ending raws arent translated yet but this is what happens anyway. I just wanted to share and unfortunately it was really hard to finding pictures i mentioned/i wanted to show so this is all we have. Well, for now thats it. This is really painfull and tragic. I usually hate shoujo but i really enjoyed the kind of harem part of story, lol, tragedy part was really painfull though.

Richard and all those character deserves better. And i will imagine an ending where they find happiness together.

hey howdy ive been away for a while but im healing from surgery and rebuilding drawing stamina. so here's a redesign of beth as a child but for the purpose of me joining @campweehawken this year heehaha

below cut is story info for me to participate but if u just wanna enjoy the drawing go ahead

ok! so. tldr version: this is an iteration of my oc beth where she's a child (didnt settle on an exact age; her range is 7-10), she's being dumped here by her parents neva and orlando collins while they're busy with business and dont have time this year to "indulge" their kid in attention. she's a bit quiet at first cuz she doesn't get out much but once she Starts talking, its a bit hard to quiet her down. she loves disney and especially princesses, and constantly describes very weird dreams she has where she seems to see people she knows, but isnt quite sure how she does, knows various info on them that she wouldnt know, and can sometimes talk about "different worlds". but it's all made up from an overactive imagination. thats what her dad says anyway

the full context version: if you knew beth before, you might know her in her mainverse (Riverview), as a powerful teen ghost demon princess. this is Not her. you might know her from a very short time in trufflu. also not her. if you know the discord-only (sometimes shared in google docs and illustrations) beach au, this is her. kind of. it's based off that version. for a refresher, in that au, beth is the rich and spoiled but very kind, generous, and loving (think like charlotte in princess and the frog) daughter of paradise pier resort's owner, orlando collins and famous musician neva collins. every summer, she would live at the resort in her family's special penthouse. ever since her dad had the place built and opened, they would go, and there was a very mysterious energy around the place. in this universe, beth had very strange psychic powers that was a secret between her and her parents, and claims she could connect with different timelines/realities. orlando collins, her father, is actually a once-ler trying to hide it in order to escape the "downfall" legacy and pass it on to his daughter instead. he's jokingly called disney-ler by my friends lol. collins is 100% aware of the very weird things happening with his daughter and the resort and tries to use it to his advantage along with audio hypnosis technology he developed.

why does all this info matter? this is the basic background to get the context on this weehawken version. this is a VARIATION of it (its not exactly that beach au universe, since theres extremely minor canon differences, but based on it). for the actual camp context, this version of beth is visiting the camp because, as i said, her parents are busy. her mom is starting to rise in her music career, her dad has Just purchased the area to build paradise pier resort after the success of other resorts and tourist locations, so neither really have time for her. i say this isn't Exactly the same beach canon because i wanted beth to have grown up at the resort, but for the sake of having her Not be a baby at camp, i changed this lore a little. lol. so this version of beth is Semi aware she might have powers, but doesn't really think they're "powers" and more "doesn't everybody do this? oops". ok, i think thats all the important context?? bonus fact, her shoes are those light-up sneakers that blink when she walks

Meet my OC (Heather)

Okay guys this isn’t a request or headcanons but I wanted to share something with you ;)

As you can see with the title i’mm going to show you an Elarya OC so here’s Heather (be nice to her ;D)

She’s from the obsidian guard and in a random story that I’m making she’s Valkyon’s girlfriend. Heather doesn’t replace Erika-Gardienne in the plot and her story is quite long so I’m going to divide it in parts, the first one being a small context of these story, the second part being her backstory before she ended up in the guard, a little explanation of her personality and then a behind the scenes (you will know what I mean when you reach that part). 

Name: Heather

Gender: She/her

Birth day: 28 of June (Cancer ♋️)

Age: 24 in the origins, 32-33 in a new era.

Species: Werewolf (Hyrbid of dragon)

Height: 1.82 cm

Guard: Obsidian guard

MBTI: ESTP-ESTJ

Familiar: Natch (Male molecat)

Li: Valkyon

Primal role: Since she belongs to obsidian guard Heather knows how to fight and uses this to protect others, also makes good plans and sometimes helps Valkyon when he needs it. She’s good with children and loves to show them anything that can be useful; form fighting skills to show them legends of Eldarya.

Secondary role: Heather worked in the library and as a teacher, the first job is to know more information about the dragons and their return while the second job was more “oficial”. Since they needed teachers Heather decided to sign in for that.

Weapon: She learned how to use an axe as a primal weapon and a sword as her second option (but I didn’t find an axe so she appears with the second one)

Abilities:

Strength

Quick learner

Social

Knowledge of mysterious things

Good listener

Disadvantages:

Sometimes selfish

Kind of naive

Ignores things 

Context:

You can see that she has some weird marks on her neck and face right? Well, they are a characteristic for her clan.

She lived in Sheni, a lost village that was far away from the lands of el, it was a close village that didn’t accept strangers very well, the villagers being mostly werewolves or night creatures. A quick note is that there were vampires in there, but they weren’t pure blood, this is going to be important later.

This village had a closed mind and follow a single philosphy; they believed that the dragons were coming back and this will mean the reborn of Eldarya, a new era that will change everything.

Her clan followed this with hearth but decided to give a little push to this “prophecy” and they ended up learning dark magic  this situation got a little bit out of hand for them. The thing here is that this dark magic can be passed through bloodline and one of Heather’s ancestors was a great dark-magic user and this make that its descendants inherit that ability.

But why did they believe this? Apparently she had a dragon ancestor that told them to wait for their return, this happened because, when the dragons saw that their whole specie will disappear some of them reproduced with normal faeries, hoping that they offspring could protect Eldarya from future danger. And this didn’t end up well because we know that the guard of el and other faeries hunted these descendants trying to save the crystal but this was unknown for them.

Heather has a few of these dragon powers but since they got extinct a long time ago and they weren’t any pure dragon to teach her how to use these powers they are kind of useless, that and the fact that a lot of generations had been passing and the dragon-blood is less and less each time.

Still she can transform into a dragon but then Heather needs to rest for a long time (one time she slept for a week or so) and she can use blue fire that can be a characteristic of fox people but in this case is because of dark magic.

Speaking again about dark creepy stuff, the marks on her body are prove of this, since her family has been using this for a long time it became part of them. They can hide it if they want but Heather is used to have them visible. 

Inside of the clan they have a “chosen one” or a “selected by the spirits” which is a member of her family that is born with more of this dark magic and it’s function is to keep their communication with the deceased, sometimes speaking with the daemons. Heather isn’t the selected but her younger sister is. There have been a lot of “chosen ones” through her family, almost like a legacy.

Do you remember what I said about vampires? Well, it’s not that they hate them, is just that they have very different points of view and they crash a lot. An example is with the vampires of Yaqut (yes, Karenn and Nevra’s clan). These two villages are a few days of distance (maybe some weeks) but decided to ignore each other to the point that they aren’t sure if the other village is alive or not, Yaqut hates halfbloods and the few ones that managed to escape moved to Sheni, giving them knowledge about other dark things.

Despite her being an hybrid of dragon-werewolf and perhaps vampire (I mean, it’s possible and these people are weird) her predominant specie is werewolf, which means that Heather has the habilitiess that a normal werewolf has. As example; shapeshfting into wolves, super strength, a great stamina, almost night vision, great smelling, others. 

Small detail; she has fangs because some werewolves develop them.

Another detail; by some reason her village has a nocturnal life and sleep during the day to work at night. This is because they use the moon cycle and the starts to guide themselves and is the reason why Heather’s skin is pale; she hadn’t been that exposed to the sun. (My baby needs sunbaths please)

Backstory:

Heather’s father is the leader of the clan which allowed her to have almost what she wanted. She wasn’t the heir of the clan, that was her older brother, Duncan. By the other side her younger sister Moon (I know that I don’t have creativity putting names but what can I do?) was the “chosen one” of the clan which means that she had other responsibilities such as developing her magic to her limit.

Even if she didn’t have a mission like her siblings she had enough determination to be useful and decided to be her brother’s right hand when he became the leader of the clan, that’s why se started worrying about others and their needs.

Heather’s mother was gone, she doesn’t remember her well and her father used to say that she died when Moon was born and burried in the forest.

Heather was a happy girl and loved to explore the forest with her siblings, they were warned about other creatures outside of their small village and told them to hide whenever something weird happened, always telling them to be disguised and don’t let anybody see them.

One day Moon walked away and was lost in the forest, Heather and Duncan panicked and returned to the village to ask for help. When the adults finally found Moon she was missing her left eye, but Moon didn’t say what happened and she only had a deep blue eye and the other one being white with a scar.

When they started growing up the relationship between Heather and Moon started changing. Moon was quiet and spent a lot of time in the forest, exploring and developing her magic in secret, meanwhile their grandmother was trying to train her.

While Moon was being a rebel gal Heather and his brother Duncan continued with their training to become leader and right hand. He was compromised with a girl of their age to ensure the bloodline even if they were just 14. Heather had a talent manipulating the fire that the dark magic provided her and learned how to use an axe and a sword as weapons.

Duncan an her grew very closely while the relationship with Moon was more distant with time. One day Moon went to the forest alone as usual but this time she never came back.

At first her family wasn’t worried, she used to leave and return a lot of times but the time passed by and the people of the clan got nervous. The werewolves searched through all of the territory but when they found out that Moon’s track continued deep to the forest and beyond the limits that the clan had the panic started.

The winter was coming and this forced the villagers to stop with the search. They needed Moon because she was an important piece for the dragon’s prophecy, they needed her because she would tell them what to do and this caused more frustration in the people.

Heather was devoted to her family and decided to search for her sister by her own, she understood the importance of Moon and wanted to bring her back. Her father allowed her to go when the winter ended but it lasted a few months more.

Once it was over Heather packed up and began to search, finding information about a werewolf with a missing eye and a deep-blue look in the other.

As she was told Heather kept the secret of her clan, only saying that her sister ran away from home and she was searching for her. 

After months of looking and searching Heather was in a bar and heard rumors of a mysterious werewolf that helped a guy for being crushed by some rocks. The man telling the story was the father of that child and he said to his friends that he would be eternally grateful with the guard of el.

Following that hint Heather was able to find the location of it. It had been two years since Moon left home and Heather really missed her, decided to try her luck she entered in the shelter under the identity of a lost villager.

Heather ended up finding Moon and her sister was surprised that someone was able to find her. The older one tried to convince Moon to return back home but her sister didn’t listen. 

At the end Heather joined the guard to spend more time with her and at the end, make whatever she needs to do to convince Moon to return back home.

Personality:

She’s kind, yeah she is.

I know that she grew up in a group that told her that she was important because of the dragon-blood but that group also showed her that being that mythical creature meant that she was there to help others, but the world wasn’t prepared for this.

She doesn’t talk about her home though, she tries to keep it as a secret because that’s what they had taught her. But living outside showed her that the world wasn’t that cruel and she ended up enjoying the experience of meeting new people and chatting with them.

It’s a social butterfly and responsable girl, the friend that can go out to party but return home to finish homework on time.

Daddy’s girl, of course she is.

Behind the scenes:

Heather is based in another OC from an original story that I’m planning to write (but I’m dumb and procrastinate 99.99%of the time)

Her appearance doesn’t change much between these two versions, she has small purple tips in the hair in the original version.

In the original story she has another sister but in this universe Heather only has two siblings.

This idea started as a joke like “Okay what would happen if I mix up her with Valkyon” (because they looked cute) and here we are, me creating a whole story with her.

In the original story she used to have a boyfriend with tanned skin and white hair mostly because I have a thing for them, let me be please.

I simp for her, expect to see more of Heather over here.
