[cisthoughtcrime]

just watched the latest Westworld episode (s3e5) and want to braindump some thoughts about this season as I continue to procrastinate, so spoilers under the divide. if any of y’all watch westworld, would be interested to hear your thoughts too.

ok gonna try to keep this short and not overcritical but probably gonna fail on both counts.

I’m still definitely enjoying watching it and I’m likely gonna keep going until it ends, but it doesn’t feel like it’s the same show anymore so much as a spin-off. At first i thought it was just the fact that so little of it is taking place inside the park and the cast has been decimated, but this episode made me realise that s3 has been so unoriginal compared to the original premise. (again: still enjoying it, still watching on it, not shitting on it for the sake of a superiority trip. There are a lot of derivative shows I really enjoy but Westworld isn’t usually one of them).

the original premise’s underlying subject was subtle and existential and imho was very good about laying out the ingredients for the viewer to draw their own conclusions about what the show was trying to say (from the big philosophical questions like “what is humanity/consciousness/free will anyway?” to the implicit societal critiques like “morality is performative and when no one’s looking humans act different”).

I think what’s bugging me about s3 is that we finally broke out of westworld and we’re in a futurescape i’ve seen a thousand times before in scifi.

The downtrodden ‘different’ (white male) outcast disillusioned with The System and omnipresent surveillance who meets the sexy motorcycle-wearing black-leather-clad badass woman who saves him from his mediocrity and validates his disillusionment and recruits him to help dismantle the system and free the sheeple? Check.

The reclusive European gazillionaire who owns an island, has a seemingly-self-contained tragic backstory that will no doubt have one or two vestigial elements that come into play at pertinent times to blindside the audience and/or main character, and espouses his dream of a utopia derived from his trauma but that isn’t really a utopia? Check.

Everything is automated but people are still empty inside so everything the rich do to poke their ennui with a stick is the same ol’ combination of colourful hypersexualisation/orgies/prostitutes, sadism, and synthetically-made drugs that do whatever tf the writers think will play best visually while brushing off the chemistry of it all with whatever the newest version of ‘flux capacitor’ is? Check.

That’s not to say these tropes are all necessarily scorched earth. I mean, worked for The Matrix and Altered Carbon and whatever. I’m gonna try to wrap this up by synthesising what it is that actually bugs me about this in Westworld S3 specifically:

i said earlier that previously Westworld was good about talking around the core concepts and plot, leaving us to infer the patterns and parallels (which tbh is kinda what i credited for the show’s popularity, ie the fact that there was so much to discuss and so many connections for the audience to make in such a creative world of philosophical and moral questions that ofc people would latch onto it and hypothesise wildly). But eg in this episode, when Dolores sends everyone their profiles, the human-host parallels spoke for themselves and seeing people’s reactions in the streets reinforced so much (base human nature, free will, the validity of the hosts’ emotional reactions, flawed attempts to standardise reality at the expense of individuality) but Bernard softballs it in with “they’re breaking their loops,” which hamhandedly shoves the “ooooooo humans have been the automated drones all along, that’s wack man” down our throats as if that hadn’t been a staple of speculative fiction since before Aldous Huxley and as if it weren’t the sort of blatantly fucking obvious thing you or the person watching with you would gasp aloud after a twist or reveal. Not saying I disagree with the criticism of complacent routine, it’s just... we get it already and we got it since whatever grade school essay we had to write on Orwell or The Giver, no? There’s also the “human over-reliance on tech” critique which has been there since S1, but until now it was kinda baked into the background of the main satirisation of hubris in the face of mortality and self-knowledge; now ‘human over-reliance on tech” is the exact weakness that the show keeps overexplaining has opened the door to human extinction.

sidenote: twice so far they’ve alluded to the human ‘real world’ being a simulation (Maeve in War World and Liam’s stoned friend on that rooftop bar), so if this season’s big twist is that the real world is just one of the ziptillion simulations run by the Serac’s machine I might just stop watching and pretend it ended after s1, esp if part of the twist is that Dolores or Maeve somehow merge themselves into the fabric of the simulation/become one with it. don’t even get me started on if serac is a host bc what a cop-out that would be.

I’m setting aside some of my other issues with the show to focus on how weirdly narrowed/streamlined/hemmed-in this season has been. i really want to like caleb but ffs his whole arc so far is simultaneously far too recognisable and far too self-insert-gratifying when the only new thing added to his stock character is the fact that Aaron Paul is playing him now instead of Sam Worthington or Jake Gyllenhall or whichever from the parade of recognisable-action-actors who are Misunderstood and Pouty until sexy miss unreadable fulfills his call-to-adventure fantasy complete with kiss/sex either during or immediately after a big fight scene.

Now that the rich intriguing world we started in has been largely explained and almost entirely killed off, we’re left with loyalty to a few fave characters in this (admittedly aesthetically pleasing and coherent, but still) standard vision of the future, where we already know Dolores’s story and motives and are kinda waiting for Caleb to catch up, and the only questions left really are kinda linear by Westworld standards (what’s Dolores’s plan, what’s gonna happen to each of the characters, like basic unanswered questions in any plot), and they keep recycling the same plot points (’oh they’re a host too?’ or ‘this host can’t trust their own thoughts/memories/actions because they’ve been damaged or tampered with’ but now kinda cheapened bc the setting is different and no one in the show expects them to be hosts but everyone in the audience does).

TLDR

There is nothing special or specific about this future-world that connects it to Westworld. A futuristic theme park of hyperrealistic humanoid AIs designed to facilitate the consequence-free catharsis of the stunted rich elite could be transplanted into any technologically-advanced future where extreme wealth-disparity and omni-surveillance are still problems, but that describes basically every scifi show that isn’t about space or apocalypse. But that’s part of what made the park such a strong concept, and also why i expected/wanted them to have come up with a more original outside world. If the park can fit anywhere, why did they choose such an uninspired world? It just feels like these creative interesting characters left this creative interesting world, took a wrong turn at Albequerque, and ended up in an extra-preachy Black Mirror fan script.

and again: i don’t hate this season, i’m still watching and enjoying, but i’m really disappointed by the reveal of this world.

BEST XMAS PRESENT!

You see this guy above called 'Liam' typical early 20s Australian who lives in Sydney. He's got the typical Aussie accent, fashion and banter you would expect from a guy like him.

For months we were talking 2 or 3 times a week with him wanting to be possessed by me as he believed that I deserved his body more. I played it along knowing soon I will be inside his body for good. Who's going to resist being in a hot body like his. Poor Liam doesn't know what's going to happen to him soon. Once I am in that body, I will be using it to the max as he has it all for me!

Just look at his pictures, showing off his sexy body showing off daily knowing nobody will ever take his body. Sorry buddy that soon that reality will change for you. Again and again he sends me pictures of himself! Liam really must want it in the last few days as he tells me how horny he is to be possessed

He sent me this final picture of himself before I started the app on his which he thought was was a pretend swapping app made for fun. I managed to trace his phone and linked it up to my phone and head phones which infact was made to extract my very mind and essence into his mind. I told Liam to put on his most expensive jacket and watch on and send a photo when done. He agreed to it as he knew it was a roleplay we was playing.

He was ready to take this selfie and when he clicked 'SEND' I felt my whole mind moved into the mobile and sent flying from his phone to his head. He collapsed because of this and a few minutes later, I started to wake up feeling my head sore from the fall. I wasn't in a bedroom anymore? I saw a watch on my wrist and I pulled myself up and saw Liam's face moved when I smiled. IT WORKED, I AM FINALLY LIAM!!!!!

"OHHH FUCKKK ALL THESE NEW MEMORIES!!!"

"SORRY LIAM YOU SAID I DESERVED THIS BODY AND FUCKK I SURE DO HAVE A SEXY BODY NOW!!!" *poses away in the mirror and checking out myself*

"I AM LIAM AND IT'S TIME TO CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING NEW LIFE OF MINE. MY AUSSIE ACCENT IS FUCKING SWEET!"

I took my jacket off and decided to put on the random sweatband on my head to take my first selfie as Liam!

I decided to take this snapchat showing all my new mates how sexy I am. This body is so delicious and it's all MINE!!!

I guess this was the best christmas present ever having the body of my dreams and a whole new life ahead of me. I am Liam now and nothing will ever possess me as I know I am the hottest Aussie guy on here. Good thing I got his memories as I can carry on writing stories with his new taste of guys. I think you all will be in for a treat with some of the pictures Liam has on his phone and instagram. Just remember I am your hot Australian TF writer now.

Ohh Happy Christmas everyone, I can't wait to meet my new family and enjoy eating my turkey roast in the sun and head to the beach later on!

RIGHTIO!!

Liam (Sam inside him)

MC ask: TRR (Raven in particular)

Thanks for the ask @darley1101 I’m doing the mob wives edition if you want a different TRR MC send me an ask!

Two Sides of the Same Coin

[[MORE]]

Raven Harris

how tall are they?

5’9”

how do they tend to dress?

She is curvy, very busty with a full bottom and wide hips, but she refuses to let that dictate how she dresses. She wears what she feels comfortable in and if anyone has a problem with how she’s dressed, FUCK THEM! If she wants to wear a bodycon dress or a pair of skinny jeans that accentuate her every curve she will. More important than the clothes she puts on her body she wears confidence in everything she wears, from the skimpy bikini on the beach or by the pool, to the oversized shirt and a pair of leggings she feels good in what she wears because she’s comfortable in her body and it shows.

do they like how they look?

She loves and accepts her curves. She doesn’t care about the size on her clothes, this is who she is. She has actually dumped a drink on a guy for calling her a fat ass before she told him to learn to respect women unless he wanted to die alone.

are they an only child or do they have any siblings?

Only child though she grew up in the Rhys family and had several friends and playmates around.

are they a morning person or night owl?

Night owl. She curses Liam out when his alarm wakes her. She’s been known to throw pillows at him for being too noisy while getting ready too. Don’t talk to her before she’s had her coffee unless you want your head chewed off. If you are feeling brave you can try after one cup, but you should really wait until she’s halfway through her third.

are they a cat person or a dog person?

She’s a fuzzy animal person. Cats, dogs, bunnies she thinks they are cute. She absolutely loves cats but she doesn’t hate dogs. She knows Liam is more of a dog person but she really wants a cat.

got any favourite foods?

Chicago deep dish pizza she got spoiled when she lived there and now pizza isn’t the same.

how about favourite drinks?

Manhattan

what are their favourite movies/tv shows?

Crown and the Flame. She and Liam has a bet who Kenna would end up. He thought for sure she would end up with the lifelong friend Dominic, she said no the snarky Diavlos was more her speed, imagine their surprise when Raydan the Lythikosian spy stole her heart. She also has a subscription to a monthly TC&TF box, she may have a subscription box problem.

do they have any hidden talents?

She can speed type without looking at the screen.

do they believe in love at first sight?

No. She was a child when she met Liam and she more grew into love with him. He was apart of her everyday like and soon became more than just a friend to her. She is the type of girl who needs to really know someone first, much to the dismay of her college boyfriends who thought she would put out because she was “fat.”

who is their love interest?

Liam

what are they afraid of?

Heights

what are their guilty pleasures?

America’s Most Eligible. She even joked that she should try to be a contestant, Liam was not amused.

what was their dream job as a kid? is it still their dream?

Anything that took her away from the mob. She didn’t want that life, but now she would rather have that life than not have Liam.

have they ever broken a bone?

Yes, her radius when she fell out of a tree trying to keep up with the boys.

have they ever been in trouble with the law?

She’s the girlfriend of a mobster, what the fuck do you think? If she’s ever been arrested they were always able to find a dirty cop to bribe to have her released. She tells you if you really want to know come ask her to her face, otherwise fuck off.

+ three other random facts about them!

She’s addicted to subscription boxes.

She can tie a cherry stem with her tongue and unwrap a starburst in her mouth without ripping the wrapper.

She once almost broke a guys hand at college for putting his hands on her ass when she walked past.

Liza Moore

how tall are they?

5’6”

how do they tend to dress?

She doesn’t care as much about fashion as Olivia does. Her favorite thing about pregnancy is the fact that Olivia finally stops giving her shit about dressing comfortably. Oversized shirts (until they aren’t) and leggings are a must! She loves the vintage retro look of clothes more than the modern styles. Slouchy boots are a must in fall and winter and summer she lives in flip flops much to Olivia’s dismay.

do they like how they look?

Everything but her hair. It’s not that she hates her hair she just dyed it once when she was seventeen and there was no turning back. After that she HATES her hair being her natural color. Her hair is always dyed a funky color or three and only guys she’s known intimately know what her natural hair color is, and she likes that.

are they an only child or do they have any siblings?

Only child

are they a morning person or night owl?

Night owl. She does not understand how Bastien can be so chipper in the morning. She needs at least 8 hours of sleep to feel human.

are they a cat person or a dog person?

Both! She is the kind of person to adopt every animal she sees and Olivia teases her for it. Olivia was rightfully worried when Liza and Bastien brought home Buttons the Pitt Bull, she will definitely be adopting more precious babies much to Olivia’s horror.

got any favourite foods?

Pickles but that’s a pregnancy thing. She has a very big sweet tooth and loves making brownies. Only problem is even before the bun in the oven she could consume half a tray in a sitting.

how about favourite drinks?

Lemonade the more sour the better!

what are their favourite movies/tv shows?

She loves crime scene dramas.

do they have any hidden talents?

Do skill and ability to knock a full grown adult male of 6 plus feet and around 200 lbs on their ass with very little physical effort count? The girl can throw a guy over her shoulder without breaking a sweat.

do they believe in love at first sight?

She didn’t until Bastien walked into her coffee shop.

who is their love interest?

Bastien Lykel

what are they afraid of?

Losing the people she cares about. Her ‘found’ family, since her parents were both shit who could easily walk away.

what are their guilty pleasures?

Long relaxing baths. And eating peanut butter straight from the jar, don’t tell Bas he says it’s uncivilized.

what was their dream job as a kid? is it still their dream?

She never told her dad because she knew how badly he wanted her to get out but she wanted to be a mobster. It’s what she knew, she couldn’t imagine any other job. She’s been mob girlfriend and now mob wife so she considers her dream fulfilled. She knows the business almost as well as Bastien and Olivia.

have they ever broken a bone?

Nope.

have they ever been in trouble with the law?

She’s the daughter of a mobster, married to another mobster, what do you think?! She knows how to evade them so all illegal activity she’s done has flown under their radar.

+ three other random facts about them!

As pissed as she was at the time she is thankful her father sent her to Philadelphia, she still hates him for trying to control her a second time.

She loves her girls. If anyone ever tried to say Hope and Olivia weren’t hers she’d slug them in the face.

She actually enjoyed practicing skills with Olivia. She had been relieved when sixteen year old Olivia groaned about going to the mall. She had so much fun practicing shooting with her it became their thing.

It took me a while to compile this because I have a lot of stuff sitting in my WIP folder. It's kind of embrassing really. I have been tagged by several people and so I don't miss anyone I am just going to say thanks to everyone who tagged me. Off the top of my head I recall @blackcatkita @bobasheebaby @choicesbyjade If I missed anyone it wasn’t on purpose! I am just really, really bad with remembering these tags. 

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and I'll post a snippet of it or tell you something about it.

Broken Fairytales Part 7 Facing Reality: As the title implies this is part 7 of my dark TRR fic in which the attack at the homecoming ball isn't neatly tied up, it's downright bloody. In this chapter we discover that someone thought to be dead isn't. Though wounded and tossed aside with the bodies of dead nobles, he is determined to get help and maybe, in the process, discover if his brother and the mother of his child are still alive. Catch up HERE

Uncommon Part 3 Who Knew: Things get even more serious between Drake and Olivia. An unexpected source discovers and makes public Olivia's pregnancy. Catch up HERE

What Happens In Vegas: Things get a little crazy during the King's and Queen's last hoorah, especially for Maxwell. After a night of non-stop partying (was there an Elvis impersonator involved or had he imaged that) he expected to wake up with the mother of all hang overs...what he didn't expect to wake up to was a wife! (This is one of those never seen ideas I am toying with. If you steal this I will come for you because it is something I do plan on writing)

Chasing Fairytales Part 2: Liam introduces Karin to his friends after saving her from the unwanted advances of her boss. (Part 1 was my first TRR fic post and I am not sure why I didn't continue. It is something I will consider though if people are interested in Liam x Karin's romance) Catch up HERE

The Bitter Truth Dear Brother: One shot where Liam and Leo have an honest conversation about everything.

Obsession: The idea for this came from a one shot I wrote about how Nadia and Ava (MC) met Damien. It would be what I like to call a self indulgent AU where Damien and Ava (MC) fall in love while trying to solve the mystery of whose stalking Nadia. (Again please do not steal this idea. It is something I would like to write)

Your Betrayal Re-write: The story in its current state is alright. It just isn't what I had planned. I caved to pressure from certain readers and the result is me not wanting to continue with what's currently there. I have the original outline where Emily doesn't know who the father of her baby is: Zig or Nathan. And I sort of, kind of want to re-write it with that premise in mind. Only if you guys are interested though.

Friends With Benefits Part 3: More Zig and Becca smut that may or may not lead to a real relationship. At the very least it makes the characters grow and its' hot. Well, it is hot to me and one of my self indulgent crack ships. Catch up HERE

Wicked Games Part 3 Good Advice: Basically this is me re-writing Junior year because I hated how the book went. I wanted more drama with our LI and more villain behavior from the Alphas. So..this is me attempting that. There is some strong themes that include date rape (not of the MC!) and exposing college campus corruption. I will be revisiting this story soon as I really want to finish it for my sake. If you guys enjoy it that's just a bonus! Catch up HERE

Untitled TF One Shot A: A lot of people have been asking for Chris and Aria's first time. This one shot would address it, but I am not sure if I want to write it as a one shot or include it as part of a series re-write I am toying with.

Untitled Re-write of the Freshmen series: I am dying to fully tell Chris x Aria's love story but I have been nervous about re-writing the series since @maxattack-powell is doing it and doing it so well. We shall see if I can talk myself into this self indulgent tale.

Jenny's Blog: I loved the first two blogs I wrote as the MC from LH where she interviews a pairing. It is a fun way to answer OTP questions. I have files Chris x Aria, Matt x Ashton, all my TRR couples, and any pairings you want to submit. I already did this for Damien x Ava and Flynn x Lucy.

City Girl, Country Boy: A Big Sky Country AU story where Sawyer meets Morgan at the Vegas Pro Rodeo Championships and the pair falls in love at first sight. After three days of knowing each other they elope. Will city girl Morgan be able to hack life in Montana with a husband she barely knows and skeptical family members plotting to get rid of her? (Another story I am toying with so please don't steal.)

Moonlight and Moonshine: Smutty one shot of Sawyer and Morgan that I have been fiddling with and keep talking myself out of posting.

Connected: Parker and Katarina smut from It Lives Beneath. My bestie keeps requesting this and I swear I am working on it.

Death and Decorum Part 2 Contagious: The MC Rebecca makes a startling discovery that pushes her over the edge...and into Edmund's bed where the pair of them come up with the perfect plan to make everyone whose wronged her pay. Catch up HERE

Complicated Part 3 It Couple: Things take an interesting turn when a jealous sophomore lashes out at Tatiana. It is a rather intense chapter that includes a physical and verbal fight. Beckett and Tatiana grow closer. Shreya admits maybe she has a crush on Griffin. Catch up HERE

Plus a whole bunch of December and March challenge prompt requests that I am still trying to figure out what I want to do. Oops.

I am tagging the following people. If you have already done this or don’t wish to please ignore: @littlegreenmoo @blackcoffee85 @debramcg1106 @choiceslife @alj4890 @christopher-powell @queen-among-writers @kinda-iconic @lolablackwrites @elles-choices

T.T.K. Chapter 17 “Stormholt”

A/N: Hey guys so first I’m not feeling that great today. I have had a headache all day and nothing has even lessened it in the slightest. But on another note I have don’t a new outline for this story and I am seeing the end to this tunnel in 10 to 12 more chapters (maybe...) I honestly did not think it was going to take me this long but I promise I will stick to my outline this time (will you all stick with me till the end??) One more thing this chapter explain who Olivia is and her mother’s motives for her actions. Now if I have some readers who were devoted TC&TF readers please don’t get mad at me if my history on Kenna isn’t canon (I really tried my best. As always I love you all and am so thankful for each comment like and reblog.

Summary: Olivia learns about her history, Riley comes to a realization.

“Excuse me? What did you say?” Riley’s attention went directly to the reporter. She tried to keep a calm smile on her face, but as the cameras flashed

“Yes ma’am. We received a statement yesterday. Mister Drake announced a postponement of your nuptials due to unforeseen delays. Do you care to comment on that?”

Riley was never one to be afraid. She blindly left with men she had never known to go to a country she had never heard of on a whim. She had had a gun pointed at her face; heard the gun shot go off and her only thought was if everyone else was ok. The riots were frightful but if there was one thing Riley could handle it was fear. But hearing those words: “Your wedding had been postponed” petrified her.

She stood in front of the crowd a breakfast plate in her hand, her mouth unable to close.  

“Duchess Riley…do you care to comment.”

“I…I…”

“Today we are here to serve these citizens. The duchess will make a full statement when she is able. “ Liam gives her a reassuring look “I do have an announcement that I would like to personally tell the protestors.” Liam walks away from the table clearing his throat before blaring his voice so that the crowd could hear.

 “Everyone, if I may have your attention. I have heard your troubles and I must say that as your king I have failed you. If even one of my people are suffering then my reign is futile. But…I’m going to make this right. When we return to the palace there will be an auction. I will be selling my own valuables to support those in Portovia whose homes and jobs were lost in the constant floods. And I will give it all to you…if it takes everything I own.  I was born to serve my country and until I have nothing else to give I will give it to you all.”

The crowd cheers. A woman, with tears flowing down her check pulls him into a hug thanking him. An older man, who looked somewhat familiar came up to him, his face filled with shame, he takes his king’s hands bowing his head.

“Thank you your highness…I’m so sorry. I just…we needed help here.”

Liam assures him there’s no need to apologize but as the man walks away he feels the chain in his hand. He opens it to see the pearl necklace he had given to Riley.

“This is going to work.” Liam mutters proudly looking around to find Riley but she was rushing through the door of the estate.

“Take a deep breath. In…..Out”

Olivia followed dutifully, not because she believed in this inward spiritual cleansing crap but that during her stay with her aunt she learned that obedience was key to getting any answers from Lucretia. And since Olivia was as stubborn as a mule, she spent most of her 2 weeks there defying her aunt at every turn, meaning she knew no more about her mother than when she got there.

“Now repeat after me: I change my thoughts, I change my world”

“I change my thoughts, I change my world.”

“I want you to believe it. Say it again.”

With a humph Olivia repeats “I change my thoughts, I change my world”

“Good girl…now do you believe it?”

“Sure why not…” Olivia rolls her eyes. She sees Lucretia’s frustrated sigh and quickly straightens her spine. “I believe I can change my world. I hold that power, that it isn’t about who doesn’t love me, but if I love myself.  If I change my perception I can change my whole world….I got it. Now as lovely as slumming it with you and these hippie hobos for 2 weeks have been I would like to be done with this….please just tell me. What do I not know about my mother?”

Lucretia rubs her lips studying her niece. “Ok Olivia. But first there’s something I have been meaning to tell you. Things haven’t been going so great for Liam since you left….There has been… riots.”

Olivia let out a breath but still keeps her posture strong. “any attacks?”

“No he’s fine but the people are protesting against him, and if you ask me it’s pretty well needed. I mean, who does a unity tour after an assassination attempt? Almost half his country was under water last year and he’s going through the towns inviting people to a wedding!” Lucretia laughs but still watches Olivia very carefully. “So….are you going to go save him?”

“No. He is king, he can handle this. My thoughts are on my own world, not his.”

“Your world could be his…” She gives her niece a hard look.

“What does that even mean?”

“Olivia, do you know who Kenna Rhys was?”

“Uh yeah I took Cordonian History like every other grade schooler.”

“Kenna was the Queen to merge all 5 kingdoms. But have you ever wondered why she and any other sovergn had control of all the other kingdoms… but Lythikos?”

Olivia stirs in her seat and shakes her head.

“There’s been some debate over who Kenna married.  Many believed she married Dominic Hunter, a Stormont solider, and one of her oldest friends. And if history is true, after the death of Kenna and Dominic’s only child, there was no direct heir.  Kenna’s relatives had died so the throne went to Dominic’s family, who were nobles of Fydoria.  If that is true then Liam is the true heir to the throne because he is Dominic’s direct descendant…”

“Uh-huh” Olivia nods trying to follow along.

“But your mother believed that Kenna did not marry Dominic, she married Diavolos Nevarkis. And that would mean…” Lucritia waits for her niece to answer.

“That would mean that I am the heir to the throne?���  Her brows furrow as she sees the smile spread across her aunt’s face. “But wait, that doesn’t make any since. If she married Diavolos we would have had the throne centuries ago.”

“The only records we have of Kenna and her marriage was at least 100 years after her death. Kenna only had one child. When he died Stormholt was going through one of its biggest wars. Kingdoms all around knew that the country had lost their only surviving monarch decided to take it over. The Nevarkis’ and Dominic’s family from Fydoria and many other leaders form the 5 kingdoms were working together to keep the country intact. While our ancestors were in the battlefield fighting for our country, Constantine’s ancestors stayed at the capitol building alliances, gaining more territory, they even changed the name from Stormholt to Cordonia. The war lasted for decades and when our ancestors came back from war to rule the land they had risked their lives for, the Hunters who by then went by the name Rhys’ had enough support from the other five kingdoms to send us back to Lythikos. They changed the whole story claiming that Diavolos was simply one of Kanna’s many consorts and all it took was power and time before that lie to become Cordonia’s history.”

Olivia blankly stares at her aunt giving her brow a troubled rub. “Ok Aunt Lucy you made me meditate for 2 weeks so that you could tell me that a million years ago my thousands of great uncle married the queen of Cordonia, so by proxy it belongs to me.” She shakes her head and laughs. “This happened centuries ago, by now it doesn’t matter who she married Liam has the throne. What am I supposed to do with this? Take over the country? Even with proof, if the country had to choose me over him, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard of a choice.”

“Stop selling yourself short Olivia. I may have been living in No man’s Land but the press has been praising you for weeks, the people are rioting against Liam. You can take your throne and be the queen your mother died for you to be!”

“How am I supposed to do that? Even if this whole story is actually true, I have no proof, I have no support. I have no one!”

“Your mother had proof. I don’t know what it was or where it is now. But I know a few people who may be able to help you.”

Lucretia took a step towards Olivia whose bottom lip was lodged between her teeth, her thoughts clearly spinning in her head. She spoke carefully, “Persephone was one woman, who created her own army, and Kenna was one woman who claimed her country back. Your mother didn’t just wake up and decided she wanted to be queen she found out she truly was one and refused to be told anything different. I think that once you realize it too, once you realize that there’s a crown on your head even though you can’t see it you will change your world just like she tried to.”

“My mom had an army?” she couldn’t hide the prideful smile appearing on her face.

“Yes she did...and you know who they are."

There was a not in Hana’s stomach that wouldn’t go away. She went to the palace to give Riley peace of mind, to bring Drake back to her friend. But yesterday did not go as plan, when Drake left the ball room he never came back.

She saw Riley bounding down the hallway and gave her best smile. “Hey Riley I’m back from….” Riley walks right past her. “Riley are you ok?”

Her friend turns the corner and doesn’t give an answer. Not too far behind her Maxwell and Liam  are following her trail.

“He Hana Banana! Have you seen Riley?”

“Yeah she just walked right past me. Is she ok?”

“No Drake suspended the wedding.” Liam responds through clenched teeth.

“He did what!” The trio reaches Riley’s door slowly opening it unsure of what they would find. There running back and forth through her room was their friend, throwing every bit of clothing she could get her hand on into her luggage.

“I’m leaving.” She said plainly, marching to her closet, flinging the clothes with the hangers still attached onto her bed. “He doesn’t want to marry me. Fine I’m going home.”

“Riley he didn’t say the wedding was off just that it is postponed. Maybe the dates for the caterers are conflicting. You should talk to him before jumping to…” Liam takes a step towards her but she pushes past him to her suitcase stuffing more clothes into it.

“He won’t talk to me! I have called and texted him every night. He doesn’t respond. I don’t get it I did what he wanted me to do. I too our time apart seriously and then out of the blue he just does something like this….What did I do so bad?” She stops for a moment looking at her friends hoping they would give her an answer.

Hana speaks with clenched eyes “Riley. It’s my fault. I went to go see him yesterday and…well you and Liam were getting close and I got scared. I told him to come back with me…to come and get you before you two did something you would regret later. I was trying to help. I’m sorry I didn’t think he would do this I’m so sorry.”

Before Riley could say anything Hana began to sob, Maxwell quickly taking her into his arms to console her.

“It’s not your fault, it’s mine. I didn’t appreciate Drake. I knew I loved him more than Liam months ago, I didn’t need this break to figure that out and I should have told him that instead of playing along.”  She looks at her discarded clothes splayed over her bed. One of Drake’s white T’s lays in front of  her, it was one of the only things he left behind and she never wore it, too afraid his scent would fade away.

“I’m going to get him back.”

254 candles. 

Riley beamed as she basked in her work. A candle for each day she had known Drake. She was convinced this would work, as she lit the very last one. 

She spent her last week on tour getting ready for tonight. She found the perfect lingerie - a black lace holster set (Drake had always loved her in black). She had her nails done waxed and even straightened her hair. Tonight needed to be a fantasy he needed to remember why he loved her.

She could hear the sound of heavy footsteps approaching the door and her nerves began to heighten.

Is the bath water hot enough?

Do I have enough condoms?

She scurried around the room making sure everything was in its place, before stopping at a mirror.

Is this enough? Am I really enough?

She didn't have time to answer as the door swings open, Drakes large body taking u the space of the door frame. She quickly lifts her chest and splays her best sultry smile.

His eyes widen,"Surprise! I came back early.....Did you miss me?"

Her smile was weakening as she waited for him to answer. But he didn't speak, only scanning her body and all the candles lit around them. She waited for a smile, a smirk, just the tiniest hint that he was happy to see her. But there wasn't any.

Hey, I'm sending this on anon cause of reasons, but I just wanted to pull up your attention on your Ziam timeline. It's out of sync with fandom info. Take the time to get your dates and interviews right please before you type up responses. The date we have for them is the 4th of September. They fixed their shit on the 9th of June and Liam woke up and took what's his around his birthday. I'm not having a go at you but please learn your history before you share things. Thank you

Really. Really.

You say you’re not having a go at me but this is literally you having a go at me. Like the level of condescension in this ask is fucking sky high and just really unnecessary and also who tf are you to tell me how or when to blog on MY blog? 

Sure, nonnie. You’re sending this on anon “for reasons” and those “reasons” are that you wanted to be a rude and snarky asshole for no reason when you had plenty of other options. You could have messaged me kindly off anon with helpful links or even sent a nice anon message saying hey actually this is wrong, here’s the right info but instead you came to me on anon like a coward saying shit like “take the time to get your dates and interviews right please before you type up responses” and “learn your history before you share things thank you” and yet you expect me to believe you’re not having a go at me and not trying to be rude. Sure. Okay.

Now. I’m woman enough to admit that I did get the dates for the vegas concert/”more than this” moment mixed up because i’m a human (and not a robot) who makes mistakes and doesn’t always have perfect recall.

But. 

As for the rest. Take a look back at what I actually said anon, which is that a lot of the fandom accepts that the 21st is generally when they got together (if you look back at the other ask I even specifically said “around that time”). Did I say exactly? No. Did I say everyone? No. But even so, regardless of any of that, idk where tf the 4th of september even comes from or who this “we” you speak of is. 

The UAN tour ended in july 2012 and they were on break until february 2013 when the TMH tour started, so from the rest of july to february the majority of the content we were getting was through interviews, sm posts, and twit cams. Liam’s party (that Zayn, and also Louis, didn’t attend) was on august 25th, then on Liam’s actual birthday Zayn tweeted happy birthday to Michael Jackson and said nothing of Liam. The next day Zayn and Louis ribbed Liam in a twitcam about how things with his birthday went down. 

After that, outside of maybe the occasional tweet there was nothing of note that happened for the next few weeks. The Germany interview, however, is believed to have been filmed on the 22nd of september and in it the boys make a ton of innuendos and jokes hinting toward someone having definitely gotten some the day before (the iconic “early bird gets the worm” and “trying to walk” moments, said while looking at/gesturing towards zayn) and ziam were acting particularly honeymoon-ey, all feelings of ill will seemingly gone and the two of them appearing to have made up and not only that but acting extra flirty and comfortable with each other (more like boyfriends than friends) compared to before then. 

Hence the september 21st date which is the widely accepted/believed official date among the fandom of ziam having gotten together. If september 4th has some special specific meaning to you and/or your friends in regards to ziam then that’s great for you but as for me in regards to ziam dates when it comes to september 4th 2012

as for you anon:

you’re out of sync with fandom info. so how about you take the time to get your dates and interviews right please before you type up rude asks to send on anon like a coward and please learn your history before you share things thank you.
