Definitely had one of those "being a woman in medical leadership" moments yesterday where I was called out for being too direct and aggressive for writing a pretty dispassionate email where I essentially said I wasn't going to cover for mistakes that my leadership made. Cherry on top was that this feedback was from a woman, who didn't have the balls to deliver it to me directly and instead had another woman serve as the go-between, because she felt like she was called out by me.
So I spent all of therapy today just ranting about my leadership and the lack of support that I feel from them and how I can't actually trust those people or be open with them about my feelings at work. That was a swift kick to the gut yesterday.
But I'm sure if I was a man I would have been told that I was being assertive and practicing good leadership skills.
#leadership as a woman#leading while woman#so much for women building other women up#supportive leadership yeah right#kind of want to burn it all down#women in medicine#women in leadership

One of the things I regret about Last Legacy is how only in Anisa's route your isekai knowledge comes into play, with the blood of Lord of Shadows opening the dungeon.
I wish they gave it more attention, but I also get if they thought it breaks the immersion. Like if there was a scene where you're walking through Porrima with your love interest and they comment on how you seem to know the city streets very well, like a local, for someone from another realm entirely and it's because you Memorised The Entire Map by playing the Last Legacy game back on Earth. Or maybe there's a history discussion with Escell and you're like, Um That's Incorrect. Because according to the Encyclopedia Astraea what happened was - (...)
Or maybe another dungeon situation and there's a puzzle and all of the characters are like oh noooo what are we gonna doooo??? And maybe like you don't have any options offered instead you just get the one true answer offered because You've Literally Been Here. You were stuck on this puzzle for 3 HOURS so you memorized it because of repetition.
I mean if Lord of Shadows made the game based on Astraea as Mike Morgan, and he stayed as truthful to the reality as possible you would have a MASSIVE plot advantage instead of just running around like a dumbass, bc hellooo we are also the main character but. I know I know it's a silly romance visual novel and I was expecting too much but godddd the potential was thereeeee
#last legacy#my post#missing my twink necromancer till this day tbh#the scene where he locks the door and leads you to the bed oh my fucking god the forwardness i have still not recovered in all these years#woman snorting coke gif. while listening to erik satie gymnopedie 1#fictif

MY HEADCANON FOR PARENTS NAMES:
Snow White: Bianca White ( Bianca means "white" and Whites are probably one of the most obsessed families with their story, every single Snow White had a name with meaning relative to the fairy tails,)
Evil Queen: Eris Queen (I can't remember did I read a fic where she was called Eris but I think that the name of the goddess of discord really suits her)
Sleeping Beauty: Rosalin Beauty (pretty standard name)
Cinderella: Ophelia Ella ( a sweet name for a sweet girl)
Red Riding Hood: Scarlett Hood (one more standard name)
Big Bad Wolf: Aiden Wolf (close friends call him Andy :) )
Dark Fairy: Darcy Thorn ( oh the irony of being the dark fairy with dark name and yet cover yourself in light)
Candy Witch: Cinnamon Witch (I also didn't come up with this name myself. I saw someone use it for her a really long time ago but I can't remember who. If the person who came up with this name sees this, you deserve a reward, the name is perfect. But I hc that she goes by her nickname: Candy. Why? Because it's such a cute nickname)
Pinocchio: Oak Wood (I think that every family name has something to do with trees or wood. Oak sounds like a perfect name for someone sweet, young and cheerful and later as an adult calm and wise)
Goldilocks: Dolly Locks ( I just think that its a cute name and she kinda remind me of Dolly)
Huntsman: Archer Huntsman (Okay, so, Huntsmans are bad at naming their kids, like REALLY BAD. Hunter we are counting on you to break that cycle)
King Charming: Dashing Charming (I read one fanfic were he is named Dashing and i think that name suits him, i myself couldn't come up with the more fitting name)
Queen Charming: Grace Charming (I also read that one in a fanfic and i think it fits her, somehow whenever i think of Charmings Dashing and Grace are the first name that come to my mind)
Rapunzel: Cressida O'Hair (I first just like the name but then i found out the Cressida means "golden" so it goes well with Rapunzel story)
Pied Piper: Devin Piper ( It means "bard" or "poet", the perfect name for a musician. Also, Piper is really a cool name, too bad it is already his last name)
Mad Hatter: Maddox Hatter (I just like silly names for Wonderlandians, especially Mad Hatter)
Queen of Hearts: Victoria Hearts ( okeey, it's not a very Wonderlandian name but neither is Elizabeth and Vicy is a cute nikename)
Cheshire Cat: Lorelai Cheshire (I didn't want to go for the obvious one Chatrine, like, I get it, she's a cat, She literally named her daughter Kitty, or maybe Katrine Kitty for short, BUT THEN I REMEMBER THAT TOLERAI EXISTED which is literally the same name just different first latter and I already gotten attached to Lorelai, so, umm if you all could just do me the favour and pretend that these are TOTALLY different names I would be very thankful)
Alice Wonderland: Amilia Wonderland ( Also would her last name be Wonderland or Liddell? Bonus cute nickname Amy)
White Rabbit: Castor Blanc ( At first i just liked the name but don't you think that "dutiful" is a perfect for White Rabbit)
White Swan: Elenor Swan ( It means "shining light" and to be honest with that destiny she's going to need some light in her life)
Black Swan: Callisto VonBart (What would be the last name of The Black Swan? VonBart?BlackSwan? I put VonBart because I found an OC of Odille on Pinterest and her last name was VonBart. I don't know)
Frog Prince: Hanry Croakington ( i reafuse to belive that he named his son after himself. Nuh-uh. He named Hopper after his father or maybe his grandfather)
Robin Hood: Wren Hood ( Listen, Listen, maybe they just have a thing with the birds?)
Maid Marian: Pandora Charming ( I don't think that there is a destiny stricly for Maid Marian. I think thats just a princess from Charming family or from nobel family, that's why i gave her last name Chaming. Last name changed after the wedding)
Beauty: Primrose Beauty ( Ah, Beauties and their roses)
Beast: Damian Beast (like it)
Fairy Godmother: Beatrice Goodfairy ("blessed one" mmm... too bad you can't bless yourself)
Jack Beanstalk: Jasper Beanstalk (nice)
Snow Queen: Isolde Winter (perfect for ice queen)
Snow King: Nikolai Winter (took his wife's last name, couldn't think of his own that's not arleady taken)
BONUS: PRINCES CHARMING
The Good King: David Charming (i think that only the main Charming follow that logic with names where all siblings have names with the same first latter)
Cinderella's prince Charming: Louis Charming (he's a nice boy)
Snow White's prince Charming: Cassian Charming (I just like it)
Sleeping Beauty's prince Charing: Liam Charming (don't ask)
#DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CHOOSE A NAME THAT GOES WITH YOUR CHARACTER#HAS A SIGNIFICANT MEANING#AND DOESN'T REMIND YOU OF AN EXISTING CHARACTER???#its very fucking hard#like i wanted to use nivea for snow white becouse it literally means white as snow BUT NIVEA IS A BREND#I also wanted to name pandora Penelope becouse its a cute name remaind me of the redhead#but who comes to your minde when you hear Penelope? Penelope Featherington .#WHICH IS WHY I CANT NAME SOMEONE REMUS WE ALL KNOW ONLY ONE REMUS AND THAT IS LUPIN#BUT TO MAKE THINGS EVEN WORST THERE IS ALWAYS ONE MORE POPULAR CHARACTER WITH THE NAME FIT FOR A WOLF#I WANT TO CRY#i HAVE NUMEROS EXEMPLES but okay its okay i'm okay#I GOT VERY FRUSTRATED FOR LORELAI#I liked the name becouse there is a legend about a water nymf named Lorelai and she lead sailors to their death#But in reality that nymf is acually the rock that looks like the woman AND PEOPLE STILL WRECK THEIR BOATS AGAINST THAT ROCK#beasicly there is a “nymf” named Lorelai that creates chaos and then you have a cat that creates chaos#see what i had in mind???#also while looking for names I also finde some of the strangest names people name their kids#like did you know that some people name their kides wolf or Blackwell?#Also to the people who came up with some of these names before me pls don't be mad i think you nailed it#and i forgot who you are#pls dont come after me i'm shaking with anxiety while posting this#ever after high#eah#ever after high headcanons#eah parents#class of classics

This is such a harmful sentiment to push considering that you don’t necessarily have to be “attractive,” (beauty is subjective, yada yada) in order for men to want to harm you in the slightest… like man, what…

“Brown, Daniels, and Gilbert helped her in every possible way, but they didn’t invent her. Not even Stiller invented her. And she herself didn’t understand what she was all about.

as a female engineering student i am so grateful to have representation like poppy li. too many “woman in stem” characters are, on top of being really smart, also really cool and really pretty but POPPY is a piece of shit, awkward as hell, egotistical little gremlin addicted to candy, power, and validation. she is the smartest person at mythic quest and also the weirdest person you’ve ever met. i love her so much
#she is so me#no but on a serious note it’s actually very refreshing#she’s pretty but it’s not a character trait. she’s smart but she’s not humble about it.#she doesn’t diminish her talents because she’s POPPY FUCKING LI lead engineer at mq and she knows she’s smart! she knows she’s awesome!#she’s proud of it and she wants more! she knows she’s equal (or better) than ian and fights for her rights in the game instead of just —#—being the cool humble laidback hot token woman in stem who only exists to hook up w the main character and then solve some overly —#—complicated problem once and then stand back in the shadows while the male main character resumes his place at the top#like shes so fucking awkward and weird and real and i love her so much i love her SO MUCH#what an amazing character design#i love your work megan ganz#mythic quest#poppy li

the fact that david tennant married the woman who played his daughter on the TV still haunts me occasionally (this is nothing against georgia, we love georgia) but the thing that makes me sit up at night in a cold sweat is the fact that his FATHER IN LAW is the fifth doctor. imagine your fucking father-in-law is Doctor Who. anyways.
#the real-life doctor who crossover universe and its psychological ramifications on me#so you're david tennant right?#and you show up to work and you're excited because you've got this AMAZING script#the fifth doctor's daughter--the main character of the TV show you grew up loving and watching--turns out to have become an actress herself#and now you're about to shoot this groundbreaking exciting episode of that same TV show--of which you are now the lead and star!#so you do your work#give the performance of a lifetime#and try not to be flustered over the fact that you're lowkey OBSESSED with your#coworkers dad#your daughter (fake) on the tv show (fake) dies in your arms and you give her a soft kiss on the forehead (fake) to bid her farewell#and while you're pretending to be an eccentric immortal haunted by the ghosts of the past#recalling your dead children and grandchildren for the first time#sending your newly-born daughter off into death#you're like...wait...she's lowkey kinda...#AND THEN YOU GET MARRIED#to a woman who played your daughter#and HER REAL LIFE FATHER is your IDOL and also...you?#how does one begin to cope with any of that

been thinking about this since last night and just - i really dislike it when a competent female main character is levelled to incompetency to push the story forward. i hate it when she has to become a damsel in distress without so much as a good reason for it just so she could be saved by her love interest.
if she needs to be saved or aided by her male LI, there are so many other ways to do it that doesn't completely disregard the intelligence, the experience, and the skill the character has.
#if it isn't obvious I'm still not over rafayel's scorching rain tender moments#like you're telling me this woman can take down wanderers left and right and she gets tased by a civilian?? bc it was a sneak attack??#girl go back to training#at least give her a reaction to it and fail#rather than just “oh i was completely taken by surprise” and got dropped#just so her knight and shining armor can save her#sigh i know this is the nature of games like this#and i know that even the most competent of characters can have their moment if weaknesses#but to me it feels like she has to get saved by every fucking body every chance the they're in frame together#like come on an mc that saves the male lead in a nonchalant way and not in the “i took the hit for you and now I'm dying” sort of way#wouldn't that be nice every once in a while?#mmm I've been thinking about this so much i even had rafayel in my dreams lmfao#atoltia rambles

"You are bleeding, when were you planning on doing something about it?!"
"I don't know, oh lord of Dor Caranthir, when I was in private perhaps? It was a careless mistake, it's shameful"
"You humans are so precious of the most trifling things, you fester so rapidly as well! You are a soldier and you were hurt, now sit down so I may stitch the wound"
"...is this not the work of the women?"
"Unless you personally wish for one of the women to attend you, I am the most skilled in needles here"
Just me having feelings over Haleth taking on the roles of soldier and chief while Caranthir acts as defender and embroiderer
#they are so reversal of gender roles#fight me#i will die on this hill#silmarillion#the silmarillion#feanorians#silm#halenthir#haleth#caranthir#my writing#had this snippet in my mind for a while#it's a 'scenes I would put in a silm adaptation if I could'#i need them to be a mutual growth#learning from each other#i need haleth to be caranthir hope#that is then broken by ulfang#leading to him just following c&c without much thinking#haleth getting the strenght to become the leader her people need#because caranthir never looks down on her as a woman#(just as a human and he's about to fuck around and find out on that one)#parted but leaving them irreparably changed as a result#also haleth tops

Something I really adore about Minthara is she's the only companion--and honestly the only major character really--who truly brings the horror and tragedy of what is being done to the True Souls to the forefront, and reveals just what an awful fate you and the companions avoided by mere chance. Because at that point you're mostly thinking about turning into an illithid and true destruction of the self, not how you would've been a True Soul--but still you--slaughtering your way across the countryside like every other infected.
Because it doesn't matter how good or noble or strong-willed you are. Every companion, from Astarion to Wyll, would've been willing to commit atrocities in the Absolute's name were it not for the Prism.
The way she describes the Absolute is so insidious. How she had no choice, or more accurately her mind had been warped to the point that whatever the Absolute wanted was the best choice she could ever make. Minthara is Minthara, she expresses absolutely no shame for some truly horrid things and proudly claims evil actions taken in the name of survival or faith as her own, and yet what she did under the Absolute's control is what she outright rejects as being in any way her fault. The way Orin tormented her and then it was remembered as something revelatory, divine, rather than a moment of fear and violation, is so fucked up. Minthara is such a genuinely proud woman, so seeing her so affected and her declaration that she'd rather die than have her mind and agency stolen again, is very disturbing.
There are a few moments where the True Souls get a bit of narrative sympathy and humanity. Those siblings outside of the Grove for example. But Minthara is the one who truly brings home how every True Soul is a person who has been taken and violated and exploited with no real say or ability to resist. They are victims and their Chosen-ness is almost a mocking parody of the relationship between the gods (Bhaal, Myrkul, Bane, Shar, Mystra, Vlaakith) and their Chosen (Durge and Orin, Ketheric, Gortash, Shadowheart, Gale, Lae'zel) where the entire farce and delusion of it is laid out for us to see. At the very least the vampire spawn have some sort of will outside of their master, the True Souls don't even get that. And you still have to kill them.
Very fitting for the tragedy-horror theme of the 2nd Act though.
#bg3#like there's also some environmental details that also really hammer it home#the schoolteacher who took all those kids to Moonrise where they were sacrificed for example#but idk... Minthara just makes me crazy. listen to all her dialogue and she's just so! everything to me!#like as a companion SHE'S the main insight we have into what being a True Soul is like and it's SO fucked up#scary fucked up woman with big sad eyes full of pain and fear and rage I love you#the way she begs for her life. MINTHARA begs for her life. and beforehand they're boxing her in and leading her to a trap#and Minthara is still too brainwashed to do more than argue her devotion which Ketheric knows is true. knows that True Souls#literally CAN'T give anything but their best but he lets her verbally hang herself while trying to argue for her own life#because it's all a goddamn farce. and Minthara doesn't even realize it until you save her and get her out#and the WAY she pleads with Ketheric is so creepy because the Minthara you get to know is nothing like that#even when showing deference or respect. and Minthara is so so loyal and so confident in who she is and the Absolute#simply... steals that. turns it to its own uses and then when she fails strips her of what was already stolen from her#I always give her the ring you can get from Omeluum. I don't really need it but Minthara surely would appreciate it

i keep saying i need to make some zhaoryu shit but i'm back on my y5 kazusaeji bullshit again they are just so. m
#ada speaks#there NEEDS to be more zhaoryu shit. but kazusaeji still holds my ass hostage so#if i am to write a comprehensive timeline of kiryu's sexuality and him coming to realizations about himself that lead to the way he's#changed in gaiden to be more. uh.#then i have got to start at 5 because its literally when he first begins to realize he's fr into men. and then gaiden & 8 he's like Out#i need his first time to be with saejima when he's at his lowest it just makes sense#theres so fucking much in 5 that feels like its really coming to a head#mayumi. why did they fucking do that. like also nakajima and his coworkers being like U Are Gay but.#mayumi. and hinata. why are you having him refuse sex with women TWICE in one game#i hc him as acespec but i also think he should get to fool around w saejima for narrative reasons#and by that i mean i think it would be absolutely devastating and tragic and also they would both legitimately be so normal about it#saejima knows he's going back to jail anyway so there's that#but god help kiryu he's absolutely trying to fill the loneliness void with People all the damn time#lowkey doing what he did with kaoru to saejima 😭#you're grieving the loss of your family? time to latch onto the woman going through the same thing just a year later#lost your emotional support daughter? allow a woman to live with you while you continuously rebuff her advances#lonely and directionless and feeling guilty for having dragged your loved ones into conflict again and again?#have sex with probably the Only guy who can understand exactly what you're going through but is consistently in a Way healthier mindset#it also makes the conversation they have on the rooftop of new serena so much more deranged if it happened before that#im normal btw thanks for asking

#i hate. being at all rational ornpolite sometimes.#cus like#my sister that i hate called to apologize. about things i frankly don't even care about at this point.#and i let her bc while i don't particularly want her to be actively in my life or see or at all very often#i can acknowledge that it is good that she is TRYING to figure her shit out even a little#and while it is FAR from what she SHOULD be apologizing to me about#at least its. a step?#maybe one that will lead to her either figuring it or building up to the actual problem#so i accepted that apology and moved on#but i told my other sister about it and she's just.#'i would've hung up immediately. i would've cussed her out'#ok. 1. thats your own decision but not how i handled it. though ik shell be annoyed if i say anything to imply that#that is a terrible way to respond. and like shes entitled to her anger in not saying she doesnt have a good reason for it#but damn dude. chill.#and 2. what would that even accomplish. like. what would that do.#it would demotivate her to work on her shit and like i get that sister 2 doesnt ever want to see sister 1 again#(again. she has valid reason and im not blaming her for that)#but like. that would only grow the circle of violence. it would end up with more people being hurt than have already been.#and frankly its fucking immature as shit lmao#sorry.#i have to actually go reasons to sister 2 now im just#sometimes i get annoyed when i remember my mom telling me that she genuinely forgets im the youngest#bc it means that she has always treated me like i was older than i was and put more on me than anyone else#but then i have situations like this.#and i go yeah.

I gotta give black sails it's flowers for having multiple bisexual poly relationships, mmf AND ffm at that lol
The first was such a delightful and unexpected twist that really puts a new light onto the entire thesis of the show, and then the second was literally one of my fav dynamics in the entire series, they were my favs and all got together??? Usually this only happens in indulgent fic, but not this time!!
(also something high-key funny (in a sad way) that it kinda starts as 'I'm so co-dependant I need you to hold my hand while I hook up with someone else that I was dubiously cheating on u with 🥺' and then they became a power throuple)
#i liked that there were multiple sapphic relationships but low-key wish there was more than one mlm relationship...#specifically just bc by the nature of the show it has a lot of sort of meditations on masculinity that i think would have been served by#having an active achillean relationship in the current narrative and also it's pirates come on#i guess it's fine that Jack was only REALLY in love w one woman and kind of had this complex relationship w another woman in the mix#I've said before i really like this shows take on him and Anne bonney I'm a pirate fan from way back#and Anne Bonney is an early obsession while i didn't ever give a fuck about calico Jack before specifically this version of him#but i get a strong genderqueer 4 genderqueer vibe from both of them and truly think they're bi4bi#bc you can't tell me that Jack wasn't in love w Charles Vane (and imo Charles knew and cared for him in a way but was tragically straight)#anyway this is for no one i gotta stop bc i don't even want to get started rambling and trying to organize my myriad thoughts about them lol#my original point was that i think it would have been interesting to explore more queerness in the show but what we got was compelling#and sometimes i think they had to reel in certain types of fan and making their cool manly lead bi was honestly brave#but then they have to send Charles on some toxic masculinity side quest every season to lean into the power fantasy of ruthless piracy#which i think they also had some interesting points about him unlearning some things but ugh i digress I'll start rambling bye#text posts

I gotta be honest, I don’t engage with the Criminal Minds fandom (despite having watched all of the original show + Evolution and read up on as much of the spin-offs as I could) because I don’t like how prevalent the racism and sexism and infantilization is in the fandom. There’s just enough of all that shit upfront that I don’t want to dig any deeper than I already have. I’m good, I get enough of that shit in fandoms that I’ve been apart of for years I’m not gonna let this shit sully my love for this show anymore than it already has (especially considering the show’s writing itself is not devoid of these faults).
I’d rather just love the show and dissect it and write analysis and fanfic for it and shit on my own.
My fav characters (just cause & kind of in best to least order): Penelope Garcia (she’s literally me, I love her), Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss, Jordan Todd, Matt Simmons, David Rossi.
#like I’ll never forget or forgive the amount of vitriol Jordan Todd got and still gets from fans despite barely lasting on the show#the hate is disproportionate and reeks of nothing but misogynoir#criminal minds#just the way I saw Ashley Seaver being talked about and how misogynistic the language being used to criticize her character was enough to#throw me off of the broader fandom— and I don’t even like her like that she was just there#criminal minds critical#then there’s how much of the larger vocal parts of the fandom shit on Derek without taking any of the nuances into account from his#character (like they do with there white favs)#and how much bad faith readings of his character are put into people’s opinion pieces of Derek#and I just don’t fuck with that#like it’s weird that all the white characters in the BAU get whole dissertations when people write hcs but the black ones (even Derek) will#get some generic ass hc that’s not even character specific#like everyone gets these well thought out ‘what they’d smell like’ hcs that’re 1-2 paragraphs long & Derek’s is one line that’s just like:#‘he smells like axe body spray because he’s a fuck boy duh’ and that was it#like just no fucking care or effort (Derek is a black man & a womanizer - he’s too refined for the ‘fuck boy’ title) y’all know he smells#like that good expensive cologne that Penelope couldn’t get enough of and that lingered in a room after he left#don’t play with me#I hate how much Reid gets babied too and while he’s not one of my fav characters I still really like him but how much he’s lowkey watered#down in fandom to be the ‘poor little skinny white boy meow meow’ is annoying as shit and undermines his character (in my opinion)#even how centered the male characters are irritates me to some extent but this fandom has more female leading ships than most#the shipping culture is also just toxic af despite that#but yeah#I could say more but I don’t feel like typing in the tags anymore#BYE HEIFERS#✨trix speaks✨

“you are always in danger in the forest.” (ooOooo Jovie warning Chiyo bc like ‼️ there are horrible things going on there ‼️ )
and other stories... | @goldcnpeaks know that's not chiyo's grandma!
" ...iyo! "
she freezes in the evening sun, her arm half-buried in her backpack and looking over her shoulder. the woods look back. she scowls, feels a shiver crawl its way down her spine as quiet settles over the clearing once more. the faint call of her name must have been a trick of the wind or her mind. it's only her here. letting out a deep breath to ground herself, the young witch goes back to tucking away her art supplies. her sketchpad still rests in the grass beside her, and as chiyo reaches for it, a shriek pierces the air that turns her blood cold.
" CHIYO! "
the blonde scrambles to her feet as her grandmother's voice screams for her again and sobs for chiyo to help her. her heart hammers in her chest; her eyes search the trees; her lungs struggle to take in enough air; chiyo begins to panic. logic dictates that that can't be her grandmother, yet her cries sound too real. she takes one step forward then another. the grass crunches beneath her sneakers, and the wind whistles through the trees. she swears something moves among the branches. her grandmother shrieks in utter terror just as chiyo hesitates, urging her forward.
it can't be her grandmother, but what if it is? what if she followed after her into golden peaks after all and got lost? what if she's hurt? what if---
a strong hand wraps itself around chiyo's wrist, and she lets out a startled gasp as she whips her head around to see jovie preventing her from taking another step. her grandmother's cries have stopped. sweat beads upon chiyo's brow. something still watches her from the woods -- she feels their eyes burning into her.
" you are always in danger in the forest, " jovie warns her. chiyo wonders if she heard her grandmother's voice earlier.
" i thought i... " breathing doesn't come easily, nor does an explanation. she shakes her head. " it was dumb. you're right. i'll, uh... i'll go. my grandma's expecting me back anyway. "
her stride is hurried like her heartbeats, quickly carrying her to her forgotten backpack and sketchpad. she pauses as she picks up the latter. the witch hadn't drawn anything special -- it was only the wood in shades of gray. but she notices what looks like eyes staring from behind the branches.
chiyo's skin crawls, and she hastily stuffs her sketchbook into her backpack. she doesn't want to think about this right now. she wants to go home.
turning to look at jovie again, chiyo tries to smile, but it's a pitiful attempt. " thanks for stopping me, " she tells her, heaving her bag onto her back. " i dunno what i was thinking. " what was it thinking? both of them should get out of here before they find out. " were you just heading back, too? "
#goldcnpeaks#hehe initially i was gonna just have jovie happen upon chiyo drawing the forest and have that cute lil moment of sharing art#but then i thought 'what if i made it creepy' and just had to do it :' ))#and i'm thinking that maybe the mimics are the cause of her death in the end? like they don't get her here bc jovie is there to save her#but maybe there's a time when they get separated while investigating a building or they're supposed to be meeting somewhere#and the mimics use jovie's voice? and lead chiyo to another creature/natural cause of death/whatever sounds most fun tbh!#if you'd already thought about this i'm open to other ideas ofc!! it just makes sense that chiyo's love and loyalty to others#would be what leads her to her death :' ) bc ofc she's gonna come running if she hears a loved one crying out :' )))#anyway i'll stop rambling asdfgh i'm just excited!!#i had to be there to be loved | interactions#black magic woman | golden peaks
