I’ve convinced myself Will, Katherine, and Elizabeth all had different fathers and tangentially I’ve convinced myself of why.

Eleanor, with her sister dead, knows she’s the last of the Blood of the Lady and knows it’s her duty to bear new Blood to continue the fight, especially with Simon so close on her heels. So she decides it’s time for a classic one night stand, no need to get attached to man who could never understand her circumstances. And success she’s pregnant and can continue her line!

But oh no. Something is not right about this pregnancy, Will himself speculates that it could have been unnatural in some way. Something gives it away. Eleanor knew who Will was going to be before he was born, tried to end her pregnancy too late, and then tried to kill him but failed because, well, he’s hers, he came from her and now that he’s a real baby in the real world and she didn’t birth a two headed, five handed demon, she can’t bring herself to kill a baby. Cause that’s what he is. Not a demon, not a king, a child. And so she ended up raising him.

But okay, she’s 99.99999% sure she just gave birth to the equivalent of the antichrist, and even though she can’t kill him she still wants to be able to thwart him in the theoretical future. So she gets cracking on baby number 2 with a new man this time, it’s not like she would’ve been able to find the first one if she tried. What are the odds that a person can give birth to the antichrist twice? Minimal, since he’s already here alive and well.

This second time goes smoothly, fantastically, much better than the birth/exorcism/ancient ritual that was the first one. And in Eleanor’s arms rests a normal baby girl, and she can relax about giving birth to two antichrists.

Some fuzzing in the years between but Katherine has been sent away and she decides she needs another kid. And why wouldn’t she? Her own sister got killed, so what if something, god forbid, ever happened to Katherine? There would be no one to carry the line, no one to stop the Dark King, who is currently sat on the living room floor making the paper figurines he drew fight each other. She’ll need to burn those later.

And so comes man number three. It’s been strange and lonely and paranoia inducing to be a single mother on the run, but she’s in wayyy to deep to bring another person into this mess. And with man number three comes child 3. And once again, there’s no dark omens, no stretching shadows, no horrifying pregnancy scares, just a normal baby girl once again. Success. 2/3 ain’t bad on “did you give birth to The Dark King” odds.

And Will, so young, so curious, just wants to take a look, wants to understand, wants to feel connected to who he rightfully assumes will be joining their strange, paranoid little family, but as soon as he gets close he’s ripped away from Elizabeth. Eleanor is afraid he will taint her in some way, maybe even kill her. He’s never done anything like that, but she can’t trust him. There’s something in his eyes she can’t trust, no matter how young or innocent.

the only crime Katherine Kent committed is being a teenage girl who didn't know what genre her story was in and everyone who has ever been mean to her owes me a dollar

[gaelmeee]

Bby Will, Elizabeth & Katherine

in honor of my great sorrow and distress, here are some memes i have made for dark rise & dark heir. enjoy.

All of Sarcean’s problems past and present have come from only two fundamental issues:

1) he’s just a bit of a shifty guy (the dude loves a half truth, a little deflection, a haha—wait what?)

2) and most importantly, he cannot control himself around a blonde with a pretty face. In no instance have we ever seen him show restraint. There is all of four blondes in the story (with the exception of his mother, duh) and he gets entangled with every single one.

It’s a level of down bad I respect
