PAC: Romantic Messages from your Lover ♡♡

(Please Read My Pinned post *IMPORTANT NOTE* before selecting a Pile)

Pick an Image by meditating and selecting the image you feel called to. You can be attracted towards more than 1 image. If you are not able to select maybe this reading isn't for you.

You’re Whiskey in a Teacup.

“You want me?” I giggled at his bewildered expression. - “That’s what I’m saying”. He paused a moment. - “How - but what did I do?” - “I don’t know....I just think we’d be a good US”. He smiled slowly. “We’d be a wonderful us”.

“Forgive me for the things I did but mostly for the things I did not”.

“In the future...if by some miracle you ever find yourself in a position to love again- fall in love with me”.

I’m okay with your history. It made you who you are. And I happen to be in love with who you are.

Moreover, perhaps it isn’t love when I say you are what I love the most - You are the knife I turn inside myself, this is love.

Your lover thinks that you're unattainable or very far from their reach. They think it is a tough connection which will require a lot of efforts and they do not want to lose you. You scare them. They also think that if you don't like the way they approach you, you'll think they're a creep. So, they keep their distance and stare from far away. If you're already in a relationship with this person, this could've happened in the beginning. They think you're a nice blend of modern and traditional. There is something that you keep hidden but when they get to know it, they will be amazed by you and your abilities. They want you to recognise them and love them and feel as much as they feel for you, listen to their unspoken words. They love you for all that you are and all that you've been.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 1.

Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

“Missing you comes in waves. Tonight I’m drowning”.

“Chances are, I’ll never get a moment like this again, so here’s everything I ever wanted to tell you. No one has ever gotten me like you; I’ve never found anyone who makes me laugh like you. You’re the one person who I can honestly see myself happy with; the definition of love to me is you”.

And one day, She took off her specs. Her eyes got blurred and mine never felt so focused.

God...You’re actually crazy. I love it.

“The thing is, jumping off cliffs is kinda my thing. That’s the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love him on purpose.”

That is the problem. If she wanted to dance, I would let her wreck the furniture. If she wanted to cook, I would let her burn down the house and if she wanted to scream, I would let her deafen me. I’ve never loved anyone enough to let them destroy me but God, she could take me by the throat and my eyes would sparkle at the mere inches between us.

They think you're smart, cool and confident. You make them laugh, you might have a great sense of humour. They also think that you carry yourself very well and you're an all-rounder. You might be creative and good at different kinds of indoor and outdoor activities. You both could be in a long distance relationship or you guys don't get to hang out much because of work or any other reason. You might have a good physique and they really like it. You might also be good at cooking or dancing(your body could either be very stiff or very flexible). Again, like pile 1, this person expresses very less than how they actually feel. They might be a listener and you might be talkative. They love late night deep conversations with you.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 2.

Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay. - Khalil Gibran

“You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known and even that is an understatement”. - F. Scott Fitzgerald

I like to think of your silence as the love letters you will not write me.

Off topic but you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

If tomorrow starts without me, I hope it starts with you. You see, there is a little of us in ourselves, and more of me in you. So if tomorrow starts without me, I’m not dead. I’m just seeing life differently - through you. - Temitaya_zeblon

Anyone who cares about you has to realize that you need a little looking after, nothing else really matters.

I sense a lot of grief in this pile and also a lot of selflessness. They are your well wisher and they think so highly of you. They wish to see you having great achievements and happiness. They are your biggest cheerleader. They think it's so easy to love and understand you, you're just so simple, so self-satisfied. They love your silence and shyness. You might be a hopeless romantic but you don't express much through words. This person also wants to let you know that they've got your back and they wish the world for you. They might have already made up scenarios in their head, as to what may or may not come ahead in the future, but if something bad happens, they want you to carry on positively and happily. There might be someone here who lost their partner, this person wants to see the world through your eyes, so they want you to put your chin up and smile.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 3.

Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

I will choose you. Even on the days we don’t understand each other.

He is even better than books. -Fiction has nothing on you.

I wasn’t fooled. I knew you at once.

You’re so special. i hope you know that. Like the universe took it’s time with you.

“You can’t love someone unless you love yourself first” Bullsh#t. I have never loved myself. But you...Oh God, I loved you so much I forgot what hating myself felt like”.

“What’s special about her?”.....“Nothing is special without her”.

You must be someone really special to this person. Your guys' relationship is a roller-coaster ride and you guys never fail to communicate on matters, so it's like, you always come up with a solution together, to somehow figure things out between you rather than going for comfort elsewhere. I'm getting Justin Bieber ft. Big Sean's As Long As You Love Me, the lines where the rap part says

'You're the one that I argue with, feel like I need a new girl to be bothered with, but the grass ain't always greener on the other side, it's greener where you water it, so I know, we got issues baby, true true true but I rather work on this with you than to go ahead and start with someone new.'

You guys can't live without each other, you both think that only the other person can handle you and nobody else. You just know each other so well. You guys' love trope might be friends to lovers.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 4.

Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

៶Pile 5៸

I will not have you without the darkness that hides within you. I will not let you have me without the madness that makes me. If our demons cannot dance, neither can we. -Nikita Gill

“You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known and even that is an understatement”. - F. Scott Fitzgerald

I wasn’t fooled. I knew you at once.

I have two sides: Clown(Intentional) and Clown(Unintentional).

“I’m tough,” I whisper. He nods. “I know you are.”....“I can take care of myself.”....“You have,” he says. “ You still do. You always will. I’ve just joined in, too. Now we take care of each other.”

“I don’t want you to fall in love with me, because we fall by accident. I want you to walk towards me, and then sprint towards me, all on purpose, I wanted you to love me on purpose.”

You guys are very different from each other. One is quiet or shy while the other one is full of humor and confidence. You guys just click. Opposites attract. One completes the other. You guys have so much respect for each other. This might be a love at first sight situation for a few of you while for the others of you, you got along well really quickly with each other. The one who is shy or quiet could be the unintentionally funny one(especially when they open up) while the other one is effortlessly funny and is a pro at it. There's a lot of light-hearted energy in this pile. You both are mature but in your own ways. You might think you don't need anyone but you know that your heart needs this person. You might have been through a lot of struggles and you think you'll always be okay being alone, but no, it's not going to feel right everytime. You've always craved this kind of company, deep in your heart. So, when this person comes along, keep them.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 5.

Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

Ace: You little shit! You traitor! *fake crying*

MC: *winning SDC by unanimous vote* The fuck?

Deuce: Why are you crying for, Ace? You voted for them too.

Ace: I did that out of consideration!

Rook: I beg to disagree. Trickster had turned this competition into their own concert.

Kalim: The audience were so hyped up they even sang along!

Grim: Nyaha! Did you see Idia waving some lightstick?

Riddle: That shocked me.

Vil: By the way, where's Malleus? I thought that he would be here to celebrate with you first.

MC: I don't know. Haven't seen him.

Ace: Don't tell me no one invited him again?

MC: Hey. I sent him an invitation.

Deuce: Oh! About Draconia-senpai, I saw him talking with the Royal Swords.

Obert: Dude, are you being serious? You're not actually sneaking him to our school, right?

Beau: Why not?

Obert: *shocked*

Malleus: Does the child of man have their own room?

Beau: Yes. The problem here is, it's not advisable that you two meet there.

Khalil: Neige and the others like barging in there.

Beau: Don't worry. We have a spare room in our dorm. And it's off-limits to our underclassmen.

Che'nya: *appears with only his head visible* No need to invite him in secret. I've already told Principal Ambrose.

the "patrick probably doesnt even know!!!" crowd on twt just comes across as a massive cope idk. like you simply need to come to terms with your middle aged white man fave not being a paragon of leftism, it's really really okay man. you can still like the music. if you feel guilty turn that energy towards positive action for palestine, not tweeting excuses for Some Guy's silence on it. idk

say that!

Like, it still sucks because he positions himself as not a leftist paragon but still left leaning. It IS disappointing i get it, even when i was kinda expecting it i held onto idk hope? that 'well maybe he won't straight up perform with cobra starship for any related or unrelated reason, that'd be cool to not see', but it's a bit much to go from seeing your fave fuck up/don't care to start making excuses for the upper-upper-middle class white guy from the US who was in 'woah! nostalgic summer camp with all my old buddies~!' mode because that's where his priorities are at. It also rubs me the wrong way that some of them seem to need to cling to the moral purity of an artist or else it's all over, like, it's up to you to decide when something crosses a line to where you're uncomfortable supporting/engaging with someone but you can't move that someone into "no, he's perfect and would never" by sheer force of excusing his behavior.

There's a lot of mixed feelings and for some the shitty feeling can coexist with enjoying their performance this weekend, others need time to process the shit and need to step away for a sec, for others maybe it was one shit too far, for others it was an 'of course he did this [eyeroll]', all those reactions (and plenty more and variants to them, i've seen about as many reactions to it as i've seen fobbies) are fine, but, not to police people's feelings i mean moreso the actions, i feel like making up reasons why your blorbo is unproblematic ain't the way to go.

A NY WAYS using this opprtunity to share: here's a handy link to a resources masterpost on donating to Gaza directly, and one directly to GazaFunds if you feel you cannot choose who to help and the click to donate if you want to help but can't financially (and there's no link for this but i encourage you if you are in any way able to engage offline, especially if your country is influential on the global stage)

how the boys act for church in the morning | hobie, miles, miles e-42, pav

warning’s: language

notes: i’m not saying any of there characters are christian in any way, shape or form but i thought this idea would be funny

Hobie

hobie is the type to whine and cry about waking up early

hobie would want to stay the night until that morning where he would try to lay in bed and just get left to avoid going to church

your mom looks at hobie like her son, and it’s her job to keep him straight, which he’s grateful for.

it was already 9 am and church started at 10 am everyone was ready except hobie. you walked upstairs to try and get him up much to his dismay.

“okay bee you gotta get ready now” your only response was a groan. “can i just sleep in?” you rolled your eyes “you’ve slept in a hour, no let’s go we can’t be late.” you walked out the room and to your brothers to check if he was ready “khalil,” you said knocking on his door “hurry up.”

you walked back down stairs grabbing your toast before your mom stopped you “goodmorning baby, where’s yo lil boyfriend at?” you smiled at her “still sleeping mama.” she rolled her eyes “i ain’t finna be late because of him, he can go all messed up i do not care but he’s going weither her likes it or not.”

your mama walked up the stairs and to your room where hobie was laying and rippled the blankets off “get your ass up boy, we are going to church and so are you.” she said before through a outfit out for him that she bought for church when he stays on saturday nights. hobie groaned sadly knowing that mama was not getting him up and knowing he would lose this fight.

“i told you the night before ‘you can stay but your going to church with us in the morning’ did i not?” hobie gave her a smile before replying “yes mama.” she smiled at him before leaving the room “be downstairs in 5 minutes understood?” she said eyeing him “yes ma’am.”

hobie stood up listening to your mom yell at khalil before her footsteps faded down the stairs. hobie got dressed and put on his bracelets with spikes on them before walking down the stairs before he even took the last step he heard your mom.

“leave them bracelets here, no need for them in a church,” he smiled “and hurry up and eat so we can leave, i ain’t finna be late become you wanted to sleep in.”

Pav

pav is the type to be excited because he gets to be with you and the family he’s grown to love.

he’s the type to wake up either with you or before you, in most cases with you and get ready.

you turned off your alarm the time reading 8:00 am you sighed and turned over to your boyfriend who was still sleeping. his hair covering his eyes as you moved the lox away so you could see his face “goodmorning pav” you said smiling him smiled back “goodmorning.”

you stood up pulling your alreayd messing hair into a crappy low bun before turning back to him “want some breakfast?” pav jumped at the idea already out of bed and tripped on the blanket causing you to laugh. “what was that? is everyone okay?” you heard your mom from downstairs “everythings fine mama you son only tripped.” you heard her laugh “which one?— wait never mind you mean pav.”

you walked downstairs making you and pav eggs and toast before sitting the plate on the table. to which pav scarfs it down causing your mom to look over “damn boy they feed you at home?” she said with a smile “they do but the foods so good here.”

you both got ready, your mom already banging on khalils door “wake up or so god help me i will pour ice cold water on you khalil.” the door swung open “hi pav, y/n,…mama.” she gave him a look before he nervously smiled and sprinted down the stairs.

pav wanted you to style his hair so you did, it wasn’t much different from his regular look but it was something “do i look okay?” “yes pav” “are you sure?” “yes” “absolutely posit-“ “pav! you look okay i promise.”

your mom smiled at the two of you as you showed her you’re matching church outfits. “lemme take some pictures.”

Miles

he gets up right when he hears your mom

he’s the type to act like he was awake the entire time

you got ready as usual on sunday mornings doing your hair getting dressed and a bit of makeup (if you wear it).

“miles, baby come on get up.” you said shaking him lightly he groaned and turned away “miles get up, i do not wanna hear mamas mouth this early.” he didn’t budge.

you rolled your eyes walking out your room and down the stairs and into the kitchen. khalil was already there and playing on his playstation 5 you rolled your eyes.

“im awake before miles?!” you nodded “sure are, he won’t get up.” khalil snickered “mamas gonna be so fuckin pissed.” “language khalil” “sorry y/n/n.”

you made some cereal and sat down before hearing your mom enter the room “where the hell is miles?” you gave her a ‘girl be oh so for real’ she rolled her eyes before yelling up the stairs.

“miles morales get your ass up and down there’s stairs now.”

there was a bunch of noise almost crashing before miles appeared with a nervous smile “i’ve been awake just laying down.” “boy, you wanted to stay the night which means waking up early for church.” he nodded before grabbing a bowl of cereal.

once everyone finished eating you’re mom called for everyone to take a picture “come here and take this picture,” miles stood there awkwardly. “pose boy, ima send this to ya mom, now come here to i can fix you’re shirt.”

you laughed at him and his sad expression of being all dressed up this early.

miles earth 42

he’s the first one up earlier then normal

he’s rushing you in the mornings, and asking you to fix his braids or redo them before church

miles woke you up at 6:30 am two hours before you actually had to wake up “what miles?” you said sleep engraved in your voice “can you braid my hair again please” he said smiling at you.

you rolled your eyes before sitting up and grabbing the gel and comb from your dresser “sit down, and don’t complain bc your ass is tender headed.”

the rest of that hour was filled with ‘ows’ ‘that hurts’ and ‘you tryna make me go bald’ “your done jesus help me.” he stood up look at his hair in the mirror “my baby braids my hair so well.” he said before drowning you in kisses.

“thank you miles now if you don’t mind i’m going to go back to sleep.” he laughed watching you fall back into a peaceful sleep.

only to be woken up by him shaking you “baby, you gotta get up it’s 8.” you rolled your eyes before sitting up rubbing sleep out of your eyes “heres your outfit we gonna match today.”

you nodded blindly getting dressed to tired to care. you looked in the mirror the outfit was actually cute your turned to miles “you style isn’t bad i’ll give you that.”

he smiled planting a kiss on your lips before heading downstairs you followed him making some food before you both heard your mom “y’all awake” miles responded “you know it mrs. y/l/n.”

“what would i do with out you miles” she said before kissing him on the cheek and continuing getting ready, walking back up the stairs “khalil wake yo ass up.”

you both laughed before miles turned to you “i love sunday mornings with you.” you smiled “i love them too.”

Merlin fantasy creature AU part 3

The poem in the picture is a part of "Giving" by Khalil Gibran

The first time Merlin has to use so much magical energy, he's not ready for the consequences. He used to feel exhausted after using too much at once, that's a fact. But he didn't know the chaotic force would literally rip his human body apart.

The pain doesn't matter though. If he doesn't do anything he'll die here right after Lancelot and then the serpents will invade Camelot. Even if he did survive there would be nothing to come back to. So he braces himself. Ready for any outcome.

He blacks out. Wakes up with Lance tending to his wounds and regrets not dying because it hurts even more.

They have to spend a few days away from Camelot so Merlin's power stabilizes again and he can regenerate his body at least to the point of getting rid of the very visible and unnatural crystals and holes pulsing with yellow energy.

Arthur is kinda annoyed at first. They were supposed to be back ages ago and it wasn't even that hard of a mission. He knows very well how close Merlin and Lancelot are. He's seen them whispering in the castle's corridors to each other countless times. Maybe that was their whole plan, to get a week or two off work.

Few more days pass by and he's pretty sure that's not it. He starts worrying and honestly hoping. Maybe they did run away together. Good for them. At least they're alive. Somewhere. Ugh.

He finally gets some free time and almost decides to go on a search when finally he's informed that Merlin and Lancelot came back. He doesn't think. Just wants to finally see them again. See Merlin again and make sure he's okay.

He's far from it but he's breathing. And that's something. Arthur gets angry at Merlin for neglecting his wounds and takes him to Gaius. He gets a few days off after that.

Part 2

long, sappy post ahead🥲

Khalil: *sigh*

Simone: What’s up?

Khalil: You remember Justin Rose from high school?

Simone: Yeah, why?

Khalil: Look! He’s posting all those weird conspiracy theories on Social Bunny.

Simone: I’d be more surprised if you showed me someone from high school who wasn’t.

Khalil: Hmm. We were good friends back then so I just expected better from him I guess. But anyway, thanks for coming to see me. I’ve been super busy lately and it’s been really nice to just chill with you.

Simone: I bet. How’s it feel getting three lead roles in a row?

Khalil: Honestly? I’m just getting started.

Simone: That’s such a Khalil answer— oof!

Khalil: I’m sorry, did I hit you? Wait… you’re ticklish? You’re fucking ticklish!

Simone: STOP! *laughing* KHALIL STOP!

Khalil: Alright, alright. Jeez. Calm down. I stopped a while ago.

Simone: I hate you. Literally.

Khalil: Oh, is that so? I seem to remember quite the opposite.

Simone: …What do you mean?

Khalil: Senior year, you wrote in my yearbook that you liked me but never could admit it. And you tried to scratch it out, but your pen was running out of ink so I could still make out what you wrote.

Simone: Oh wow, that’s so embarrassing.

Khalil: Nah. It’s not embarrassing at all. Um, Simone? You wouldn’t happen to still feel that way do you?

Simone: I… don’t think I’ve really thought about it since then.

Khalil: It’s a yes or no question.

Simone: Ugh, fine… Yeah, I still have feelings for you.

Khalil: Good. Because I have feelings for you too.

Simone: Seriously?

Khalil: I’m so serious. Let me show you.

later…

Simone: So what does this make us?

Khalil: I’m not sure. I mean you’re in Windenburg, and I’m here. You’re busy with your fashion design stuff and I’m busy with theater stuff.

Simone: This isn’t gonna work is it?

Khalil: I want it to.

Simone: But it’s not going to. At least not right now. And that’s okay.

Khalil: It’s not okay. I wanna be with you.

Simone: Fine. Maybe it’s not okay. But I’ll always love you, Khalil Kamal. I promise.

Prompt time!

"You're so pretty."

"Aww, thank you!""

Oh, I was- I was actually talking to the dog. But you're pretty too!"

(feel free to change "dog" into whatever animal fits the scene)

You know what you're getting with this one? How Jay and Cassandra met! (feat. Stella the Golden Retriever)

Cassandra sighed, putting her head in her hands. How could Khalil have been such an idiot? Sure, choosing not to use his magic was weird enough, but understandable, considering what happened to their uncle Morgan, but publically renouncing his magic in front of the Coven elders?

She didn't know how they would react. Would her brother be stripped of his magic? Or could something worse happen to him? The existence of their magic was a tightly guarded secret, and threats to that secret were dealt with quickly and efficiently. If they saw Khalil as a threat...

Cassandra didn't even want to think about that possibility. Khalil was her big brother, the one who had been by her side all those years, who had taught her how to ride a bike, how to do her makeup, how to use magic that her parents thought she was too young to learn. He was her everything, the other half of her soul.

The idea of potentially losing him terrified her. What would she do without him? Would her dads be able to handle it? What if something happened to her, since her job was so risky? Who would take care of her dads when they got old, if both her and Khalil were dead?

Cassandra was brought back to reality when something large and furry bounded straight into her, a warm, slobbery tongue beginning to lick at her hands, which covered her face. Cassandra looked up.

Standing in front of her was a young man with sandy blonde hair and glasses, dressed in some kind of tank top with Hatsune Miku's face plastered on the front. He had a dog with him, which surprised Cassandra, since the base she worked on didn't usually allow animals, at least, not without a permit.

"You okay?" The dog's owner asked, cocking his head concernedly.

"Yeah..." Cassandra wiped at the corners of her eyes. "I'm fine. Thank you."

"This is Stella, by the way." The guy introduced his dog, a large, shaggy golden retriever. "She's the one who dragged me over here. She's trained to help people when they're having anxiety attacks."

"You're the new guy, right?" Cassandra recognized the guy's face from a file she had been assigned to look over a few days ago.

The guy with the dog nodded. "Yeah, I've been helping out in Engineering while I complete my field training, but I start tomorrow."

"You're an engineer?"

"Yeah, I am. I graduated last year."

"You're, what, twenty-one?" Cassandra was intrigued.

"Twenty." He replied, a wide smile on his face. "I graduated early. They say I'm some kind of prodigy, but I'm not so sure about that. Jay Barron, by the way."

"Cassandra Stevens." Cassandra gave Stella a scratch behind the ears. "You're so pretty."

"Aww, thank you!" Jay joked, obviously aware that Cassandra was talking to Stella.

"Oh, I was- I was actually talking to the dog." Cassandra laughed awkwardly. Something about this guy was making her feel all fluttery inside, dashing her normal stoic confidence to pieces. "But you're pretty too!"

"As are you." Jay said.

"So, how'd you get Stella, anyway?"

"Like, how did I get her as a puppy, or how did I get her on base?" Jay asked, sitting down next to Cassandra.

"On base." Cassandra clarified. Stella plopped down next to her, putting her head in Cassandra's lap. She was fairly certain she'd be picking little yellow dog hairs off her slacks for the next few weeks, but didn't really care.

"Well, uh, I had a really rough senior year." Jay adjusted his glasses, fidgeting to fill the awkwardness. "My two best friends died, one after the other, within the space of a couple weeks. Really violently, too. I couldn't really go outside alone for a while without completely breaking down. I already had Stella, she was almost one when that happened. So I decided to train her to help."

"Oh. I'm sorry about your friends." Cassandra frowned. "Metahuman?"

"They both were." Jay replied. Cassandra was surprised. She had expected to hear that they died because of a meta, not that they were ones themselves. "Gina could see into people's heads, and Siv was fast. Really fast. They were both amazing, and smart, and funny, and I miss them a lot. But it's fine now. It's been a few years, I've worked on myself a lot, and I have Stella to help me."

"No offense, but are you sure that you're up to this? Covert work is a lot, and I can't have you falling behind because you're having a panic attack."

"Don't worry. It only gets bad when I'm alone with nothing but my thoughts. When I'm in the field, or training, or working with tech, it doesn't bother me. My mind's occupied. And I already passed the mental and physical fitness exams, didn't I?"

"I guess you're right." Cassandra conceded, absentmindedly playing with Stella's ear. "Thanks for the help, by the way. I guess I was a lot more stressed out than I thought I was."

"It's fine. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really. My brother's just stirring up drama with the family."

"Yeah, I get that. My uncle lived with us for a minute, before he went to rehab." Jay replied. "He's clean now, but yeah, family can be stressful, even more so when someone's intentionally stirring the pot."

"Yeah, agreed." Cassandra smiled. Something about this guy... he just seemed so chill it was almost surreal. "Mostly, I'm just worried about my parents. If Khalil keeps causing trouble like this..."

"Your mom and dad are going to be okay. Don't worry."

"Dads, actually. But thank you." Cassandra corrected. "I have two dads. Weird, I know, but-"

"Oh, no, that's not weird at all." Jay reassured Cassandra. "My friends Max and Kyle, they're gay too. I don't think it's weird, don't worry."

"Oh. Oh, okay, that's cool." Cassandra cursed her sudden lack of composure. Why was she baring her soul to this guy she had barely met? Maybe it was the golden retriever. Yup. Definitely the dog.

"Yeah, it was great talking to you, but I gotta go. My boss is paging me." Jay grabbed Stella's leash. Stella jumped to her feet, sniffing at Cassandra's face one last time before trotting over to Jay's side.

"Hey, you start tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah, I do, why?"

"Do you want to get dinner tonight after work?" Cassandra asked. "As friends. Just to get to know each other better. Since we're going to be working together, after all."

A wide grin flashed across Jay's face. "I'd love that."

"Meet you here, by the fountain? Six-thirty tonight?"

"Sure." Jay patted Stella on the head. "I'll see you later, okay?" He started jogging towards the building, Stella at his side.

Something told Cassandra that she'd really like working with this new guy.

Khalil Varysia - Star Sighted Guardian

Ryl stood sat calmly on a desk of the Sage Archives, reading over the events of the past calamity, when flashing lights caught his attention. He looked up at the aether flames as they flickered again in a deliberate motion. He got up and looked back, seeing the one causing the flickering and widening his eyes in shock.

"Didn't mean to startle you," the person spoke as he read the words from the person's lips.

Khalil stood watching him from the middle of the room. He had not sensed him when he entered, yet, with so many magical tomes in the room, energy became muddled together.

"It's fine," Ryl signed in answer and he nodded.

"I did flash the lights," the dragon explained, then he watched him over. After a while, he signed. "Are you okay?"

Ryl lifted his brows.

"You learned something new!"

Khal smiled and nodded.

"Only that frase. I also learned the world learn, from all you signed thats the only thing I was able to understand, so I suppose that's what you mean."

Ryl couldn't keep the smile from his face. That a centuries old amnesiac dragon was dedicating his time to slowly learn sign language so they could communicate, time he could be spending to further uncover his identity, was besides him.

He gave a onceover Khal, the red wavey hair carefully combed and the horns well tended. His eyes however fell on the oppulent violet robes. They were nothing like the ones worn by sages, but they were a piece of incredible beauty, the likes of which he had seen in paintings of sages from the second, third and begginings of the forth era. And in Khalil, over the more modern shirt and suit pants, it flattered him to no bounds, calling attention over the large golden wings and tail and flaming red hair and golden horns.

"You look beautiful," Ryl signed.

Khal lifted a brow.

"What?" Khal asked with confusion. Then he looked down. "Are you asking about my clothes?"

Ryl smiled and grabbed a paper, writting: "you look well. The robes."

"They were apparently my old robes, back when I was part of the Order. They kept most of my stuff in archiver," he shrugged. "I have been trying to reacquaint myself with whom I was. Not a pleasant experience, let it be known."

"Remembering is hard," Ryl wrote.

"Panic inducing," Khal shook his head. "Every word of who I was is quickly smothering by the terror of my past predicament. I rather not... think about it, it feels suffocating."

"I understand."

"Anyway, no use dwelling on it," Khal laughed. "My past self had quite a vast knowledge and that I'd like to relearn," and he signed that last word, which caused Ryl to smile.

"Master Arufino says the chances of me remembering are slim, anyway," and Khal shrugged. "Centuries of an empty mind and isolation does wonders at whipping out your memories. That I should be thankful of the little I retained."

And he touched the robes.

"Still, they felt familiar. Pleasantly so, of course Ishwa took some liberties," and he winked. "Don't want me to be demodê.

Ryl chuckled and nodded.

"By the way..." And Khal signed the first thing Ryl said. "Does this mean you look well?"

Ryl started chuckling.

"No," he signed.

"No? Then what does it mean?"

Ryl closed his fists over his mouths in a motion that meant he wasn't telling and Khal frowned. Ryl walked to the exist with Khal chasing him.

"Come on! Ryl! What does it mean?!

Thanks to my friend @izayoichan and @lazysunjade for doing this for me, I am so in love with the concept.

Just had to share this one because it is gorgeous for concept ideas of the MC of my current Work in Progress.

This would be an initial concept for the MC, Khalil Varysia.

[brotherhoodoftheblade]

Okay, but this quote:

"When love becomes sufficient in and of itself, the lover does not have to exhaust himself chasing or sit inanimate in a corner. If the lover loves well, there is no need for imprisonment. The beloved is bound by love and will want to stay nearby of his own accord. The Little Prince's friendship friendship with the fox is quite different to his love for the rose. It renders love as a particular level of domestication. As a wild animal without a collar or chain, the fox could leave him at any point. He is not a pet, but stays with The Little Prince because he wants to. This is Khalil Gibran's notion that the beloved can only prove to the lover that he or she also loves if possessiveness is relinquished. Love returns like a boomerang." ~ Roland Barthes (via this post)

This quote just strongly reminded me of the difference between John's love for Jamie and Percy's love for John.

John's love for Jamie is very much a self-created prison, one that he's built for himself brick by brick chasing any connection to Jamie he could manage to secure (using his influence to get Jamie's parole served out at Helwater to keep him where John could see him, marrying Isobel just so he could serve as surrogate father to Jamie's son, moving to America just so he could be nearer to Jamie, and all while simultaneously putting his heart away on a shelf so as not to "betray" his feelings for Jamie).

In the process of his pursuit of Jamie he's deserted the very cornerstone of his life - his desire to live a life of purpose in quest of honour and justice - to "sit inanimate in a corner" awaiting every opportunity to swoop in and save the day like his primary reason for existence is now being guardian angel to the Frasier family.

Regardless of my personal opposition to the very practice imperialism and slavery, I at least respected John's strength of character in his devotion to his duty because HE believed in the integrity of his office, and that his actions were for the ultimate security, and therefore betterment, of society. But NOW? What's he even doing with his life anymore? The man hasn't had a real job since 1768! o.O (Good thing he's rich. Must be nice to retire at 39 years old. xd)

I don't know about you, but that is not the Lord John Grey I knew and loved. The John who once went, "For an instant, he fantasized the possibility of securing Percy's freedom, whether by lies or bribery, then going abroad, the two of them together. He had money enough. To live a pointless existence of idleness with a man whom he could not trust. No, it would not serve." (BotB, Ch 28) I guess a near pointless existence of idleness in service to a man who doesn't love you and barely pays attention to you unless he needs something from you is somehow a life worth living to him? Okay then. smh

But it's the contrasting nature of Percy's quietly abiding love for John versus John's desperate fervour for Jamie that I find most intriguing. While John's chased after Jamie at nearly every possible opportunity over the years (even when he knew his attention was vehemently unwanted), Percy...hasn't.

Only on THREE occasions did Percy actually purposefully set out to see John. The first time they met again after 18 years when John returned to his hotel room to find Percy waiting for him -- though that occasion was primarily motivated by Percy's work (though I'm sure he was quick to volunteer his services when it gave him a reason to see John again xd). And the time(s) Percy turned up at John's tent looking for him after he'd recognized John disguised as an enemy soldier, no doubt because he feared John being hanged for a spy.

And Percy was quick to try and leverage his own realm of influence to safeguard John's life when he asked to take John to meet the Marquis de Lafayette. He knew the young nobleman would heed his counsel as his adviser if he convinced him John was too valuable to be executed and that he should advocate on John's behalf to General Washington (since he held Lafayette in great affection and regarded him like a son). Through Lafayette's influence Percy could've ensured John was permitted to serve out his parole in safety and comfort (if only Jamie had consented to let him go!), maybe even in the French camp where Percy was. (And, hello, there's fanfic idea for anyone looking for one! ^.^ lol)

And the third and final time Percy sought John out was on Richardson's boat (somewhere he was quite likely forcibly brought in the first place or else deceived into coming), when he came to apologize to him and admit he still loved him because he thought he might never see him again. 😢

But the thing that stands out to me is just how much Percy, in fact, never actively chased John at all during all those years. All the other times they only encountered each other incidentally. And sure, Percy flirted a bit here and there, but mostly he maintained his sense of purpose and did his job. The only time he really went out of his way to seek out John outside of his work was when he feared for John's life.

Percy felt no need to chase John on a personal level because his love for him had long become sufficient in and of itself. He felt no desperation to pursue John the way John did Jamie (despite both of them being aware that their romantic affections were unwelcome), no need to cling to any mementos of John (like John's done with Jamie's sapphire all these years) to remind himself of his feelings for him, and he didn't feel the same depth of insecurity to use the other to fill the void within himself as John did with Jamie.

Yet it can't be denied that Percy loved John greatly all that time in his own far less overtly displayed way. Even while doing his job his desire to safeguard John was ever-present. Even in the months when he never saw or spoke to John he was still keeping abreast of where he was and what he was doing, and most importantly, investigated Ezekiel Richardson and figured out the threat he posed to the Grey family and warned John about him years before Richardson even closed in for the kill. If only John had given Percy's warning the credence it deserved! T_T

(I also can't help but be amused by all the times Percy's straight out known more about everything's that going on than John. And Percy took a mere six months to figure out "Buttercup's" secret identity, but apparently John never figured out that "Beauchamp" and "Monsieur Citron" were in fact the same agent until 1780. John may've been the more experienced soldier, but it looks like Percy has always been the better spy! LOL And you know what? Good for him! <3)

I also can't help but feel that Percy's is ultimately the more selfless love, too. I mean, sure John cares about Jamie's welfare but it's a very self-serving sort of selflessness he demonstrates regarding Jamie a lot of the time. How many times has he talked about doing something for Jamie's greater welfare but in the same breath also expressed that it's because it's something HE (John) needs for sake of himself? Not to mention that by so doing he also at least gained Jamie's gratitude and a modicum of his attention.

Whereas Percy continually acts out of care for John even though John barely offers him basic civility in their interactions, let alone anything else. At least Jamie still offers John friendship (somewhat warped though it is). Percy is motivated by love of John alone, knowing perfectly well he has nothing whatsoever to offer Percy in return -- not even the basic dignity one human being ought to afford another, if John's apathetic treatment of him near the end of Bees is any indication. ~ 😔

(Honestly, just...*hurls John into the sea again for being a f*cking class A idiot* Jamie doesn't deserve John's love, and John barely, if at all anymore, still deserves Percy's.😑)

Noe Bodi Gameplay: Day 17 Part 2

NEW NEIGHBOR MOVED INTO OASIS SPRINGS

But not just ANY new neighbor.

A long-lost childhood friend of Noe Bodi's. All The Way From SIXAM.

This is PANDORA MEADE (@gloomiegalaxie-sims) and she has decided to move to Earth, where she hopes to see her old friend Noe again after so many years!

First, she had to take in her surroundings. Mainly the computer.

More importantly, she had to greet her neighbors.

Like our resident hot boy Pax (@theosconfessions).

Rocky start because she forgot to switch to simlish instead of sixam, but once he understood her, they got along alright.

He had things to do tho, so it didn't last long.

No worries, because two other neighbors showed up at the same time: Donna (@elysiantrait) and Martin (@starjira). Wearing blue outfits for reasons I don't quite know, but okay.

They all got to talking, and while Martin was good-natured enough, Donna seemed to have other things on her mind.

(once i figure out why children's teeth are floating above their heads it won't be a problem anymore lol)

Maybe Donna had a bad day with her job. Maybe it was too hot. Either way, she eventually excused herself by stomping off.

Martin and Pandora kept on talking for a while.

At least when he finally left he wasn't mad AF lol.

One SECOND after he left, our SECOND resident hot boy showed up to say hi--Khalil. (@fl0pera)

And she definitely liked him.

But then she had to go pee LMFAO

So she did that, and it was back to enjoying her house.

Later that evening, Luco (@tr-angyo) decided to materialize looking tired as hell. Must have been drained from all the mentoring lol.

You would think two occults would instantly get along, but for some reason Pandora gave him a snooty introduction and it just went downhill from there.

Ah, well, they can't all be friends.

But speaking of friends...guess who ran to come visit when she heard Pandora was in town??

They hugged so long, y'all.

No matter how long it's been, no matter how many miles are between them, no matter what past issues need to be discussed...this is Noe's BEST. FRIEND. And Pandora feels the same about Noe.

What an eventful day!!

[starrcartersworld]

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all okay. I wanted to write something about Khalil. It's not easy for me, but I need to do it. Khalil was not just my friend; he was like family to me. We grew up together in Garden Heights, facing the good and bad times side by side.

Khalil and I had so many memories – playing in the streets, talking about our dreams under the stars. His dreams were big, you know? He wanted to break free from Garden Heights and make something of himself. I believed in him. We all did.

But then, things changed. In a moment, everything changed. Khalil's light went out, and it hurts. The world lost more than a person; it lost hope. I miss him every day, and I know many of you do too.

I don't want Khalil's story to end in sadness. He deserves more. He deserves justice. We need to remember him, not just as a person we lost, but as a symbol of strength and someone who stood up against unfairness.

Garden Heights won't be the same without Khalil. I don't want it to be. Let's keep his memory alive. Let's be the change he wanted to see. I won't forget the good times, the laughs, and the dreams we shared. Khalil, you are missed, and you won't be forgotten.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Starr 💔✨

[alecmagnuslwb]

also on the shows ask - iirc you watched the flash? if you'd be up for that :) or one of the other CW superhero shows

Send me a show/movie/fandom

Okay, so admission time I have watched portions of all the CW DC shows, but I never actually finished any of them (unless you count Smallville from back in the day but that's it's own thing.) So, I'm gonna answer this as an amalgamation of what I did watch of the CW DC shows :)

my favorite female character: Iris West, I LOVE her still, I always kept up with her goings ons. Laurel Lance, I quit Arrow when they killed her. Anissa Pierce, an amazing adaptation of a comic character I love.

my favorite male character: Cisco Ramon was SO FUN, The Flash's Wally West I adored and Leonard Snart, I exclusively started Legends of Tomorrow for him. Khalil from Black Lightning, I would have loved to see his spinoff get picked up.

my favorite book/season/etc: Black Lightning, Supergirl and The Flash had stellar first seasons.

my favorite episode (if its a tv show): The first time Constantine show up on Legends, I remember loving that episode. The season one Flash finale was also an incredible hour of superhero television.

my favorite cast member: John Barrowman was in that universe and I've loved him since Doctor Who, he's a delight in person when I've seen him at cons.

my favorite ship: Anissa x Grace from BL, I wish they'd done more with them, but loved them nonetheless. Brainy x Nia from Supergirl, I never actually got to their episodes, but a friend who loved the show always kept me apprised of them and I cared so much.

a character I’d die defending: Cisco. I loved that dude, he could do no wrong in my eyes, he could date all the cool lady villains he wanted. When he got powers he could have turned into a supervillain and I would have said good for him.

a character I just can’t sympathize with: I do not care for the CW version of Oliver Queen at all.

a character I grew to love: All the versions of Wells and Eobard Thawne turned out to be very fun as time passed. Rip Hunter also grew on me, but that admittedly could have been the loving the actor from Doctor Who bias.

my anti otp: I think no woman should be stuck with the CW version of Oliver.

[hannahhook7744]

Random facts about the Badun Detective Agency's lesser known protégés;

Trigger warnings: Mental health issues mentioned, implied child abuse, diseases, etc. Fern Coachmen and Sabina are the ocs of @disneyfan1998 .

The lesser known protégés of the Badun Detective Agency are named Avalon, Lazarus, Khalil, Miriam Monroe, Paro Imp, Panos Imp, Zuri Crocuta, Lada, and Everlee D'Aquire.

They are also known as Hadie's minions since they all go through an evil phase together in their teen years.

Avalon is the daughter of sir Rothbart.

Lazarus is the son of Mangiafuoco  Stromboli and has one sister named Sabina.

Khalil is the son of Buldeo.

Paro likes doing tattoos.

Miriam Monroe is the daughter of Malvina Monroe and has one older brother named Tyson who married Morgan Philip (and was not sent to the isle).

Paro Imp is the son of Pain and Hedone.

Panos Imp is the son of Fern Coachmen and Panic.

Zuri Crocuta is the adopted daughter of Shenzi the hyena.

Lada is the adopted daughter of Bridget the Hag and is known as Lada the Hag, much to her dismay.

Everlee D'Aquire is the daughter of Monsieur D'Aquire.

Everlee, Zuri, Paro, Panos, Lada, Khalil, and Avalon are only children, and Miriam was pretty much raised as an only child since her brother wasn't on the isle with her and was several years her senior.

Avalon, Khalil, Zuri, and Miriam are 11 years old by D3 and 19 years old by the Pocketwatch.

Everlee and Lazarus are 7 by D3 and 15 by the Pocketwatch.

Lada, Paro, and Panos are 8 by D3 and 16 by the Pocketwatch.

Panos is a type 1 diabetic.

Panos is a mama's boy who helps his mother as she works at Hades' restaurant and an anxious ball of energy. He also has type 1 diabetes.

Paro and he both have wings and horns.

Paro and Panos are cousins, and Paro is very close to his aunt, and also helps her out at Hades' restaurant.

They're both mama's boys.

Paro is very protective of Panos and has a weird fascination with pain (watching pain, figuring out what makes it tick, etc.) that disturbs people to no end.

This is probably because he has CIP disorder (congenital Insensitivity to pain; a disorder where people can't feel pain at all) .

Lada has a heavy Russian accent that people find hard to decipher at times.

Lada had an okay childhood.

Miriam had a good childhood even if her mom was a bit too overbearing and protective for his liking.

Everlee, having mental health issues and neurodevelopmental disorders, and having Monsieur D'Aquire as a father, did not.

Avalon's childhood was pretty meh. Not perfect but not the worst because her dad tried to be an alright dad.

Panos and Paros had a great childhood for the isle.

Khalil and Zuri had normalish childhoods. Except for the fact that they were on the isle and Zuri was raised by a hyena, that is.

Khalil is partially deaf.

They all wear darker colored clothes and messy eyeliner. They are also good at singing and dancing.

Fern is like an extra mom to all of them.

Lada has quite the attitude and takes shit from nobody.

Everlee is very short, very mischievous, and a bit anti-social.

Paro is a naturally violent person but is trying to get better.

Zuri acts a bit feral at times due to being raised by a hyena but is also one of the more responsible ones of the group alongside Khalil.

Khalil is a tad mischievous, likes hunting, and is quite stealthy. He is often exasperated.

Miriam takes shit from nobody and can be rather apathic at times but is otherwise very friendly.

She and Lazarus often don't get along because they like pushing each other's buttons.

Lazarus is a very impulsive and curious boy who does not think things through when it comes to his friends at time.

Avalon does not use real curse words, much to her friends dismay.

Lazarus had a decent childhood too.

He's terrified of puppets ever since a mean prank some kids pulled at his father's puppet theater where he was working when he was like 4, though.

That's all I got for now, but if anyone's interested I will flesh them out more in the future.

Edit: since @casinotrio1965 (thanks again) helped me pair them all off, I have split the kids off with main mentors to avoid everyone getting less attention (in the B.D.A's words) and to avoid the B.D.A members slacking off/not watching them.

The 'pairs are:

Harry gets Lada and Khalil. Hermie gets Zuri, Lazarus, and Danny. Yzla can definitely get Edie, Chloe, and Red. Reza can get Paro and Maddox. Eddie can get Panos, Miriam, and Everlee. Jace gets Avalon, Hadie, and Glauco.
