THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!!
AprilxDonnie was The BIGGEST mistake of 2012 TMNT.
It would have meant so much more to this one-sided ship, if master splinter explained to donnie that unrequited love just needs to be let go of.
You can't force someone to love you. That's exactly why shredder hates splinter is because shredder wanted splinters wife, claimed to love her, and when she rejected him. HE KILLED HER. Even after she died, shredder was convinced that it must've been splinters fault that he was denied her affections. That whole "she would've loved me if it wasn't for you!"
The. Exact. Same. Point. Donnies tells his brothers when talking about Casey and April.
Donnie literally stalks April several times throughout the series. He tampers with her personal life so much that he is the reason her father becomes a mutant. She says she needs a break from the turtles, mainly donnie and befriends Casey. Donnie Makes threats to Casey. Follows them on their first date to the park and is Endlessly passive aggressive and whiny about how bad Casey is for April as if he gets a say in her romantic life. Then, to top matters off, he is CONSTANTLY following her around like a puppy and showering her in unwanted gifts.
I feel like splinter would've seen all of these clearly toxic traits in his son and verbally curb stomped Donnie. "You have to stop pursuing her. You have to stop and think about HER wants and HER needs. She doesn't want or need you, Donnie. April doesn't love you. Respect that"
But no, instead, the creators tried to have this moment of realization with the whole big foot episode. Donnies put in a role reversal where he is in a one-sided relationship with Bigfoot. Donnie comes to April to apologize, and it's the most half-baked stupid apology that isn't actually an apology.
And the truly stupid thing is that April KISSES Donnie for this stupid half cooked apology. "You're my mutant"
WHAT? WHY??
This entire ship was just so so dumb. I get what they were going for in the writing and dialog, but why does it play out so badly on screen? It's got middle school fanfiction tropes sprayed all over it and trying way too hard to force drama, long after the "will they won't they" Has been played to such an extreme degree that now its just mind-numbingly boring and I have grind my teeth through it to get to the next fight scene.

First post let's go!!
I've seen A LOT of hate towards Lunar but where's that energy towards Earth?
Lunar has gone through a lot and it seems like Eclipse did some stuff off camera as well because of how bad it did fuck him up. Some people don't seem to acknowledge that although most of their lives are uploaded to YouTube there is no way that you can capture someone's entire life unless you just let it keep rolling, no camera cuts, just pure raw footage.
Lunar might be a bit spoiled to some, sure— I'd even agree he's self centered. But has everyone forgotten the SHORT time span this is going on in? The amount of shit that has happened and it's only been what? Two and a half maybe three years?
Now onto the actual argument because I'm tired of filler to help my case.
Lunar TOLD Earth the shit that he went through at the hands of Eclipse, and she respected it. But clearly she didn't respect it enough to not BEFRIEND THE MAN.
Sure you can argue that it's a different Eclipse but my stance is the same Lunar has stated time and time again that Eclipse has treated him the same, whether physically or verbally this Eclipse has still treated him like that "failed creation" and that fucks with someone.
"Lunar didn't have to start a villain arc by killing Ecli—" SHUT UP. THAT WAS NOT A VILLAIN ARC. Earth got pissy because her new "friend" died and she was going down the same route as they did with Nexus.
Earth was fully planning on disowning Lunar for killing his abuser whether she says it verbally or not. We're told time and time again that Earth is deathly afraid of being a bad person, of not being the perfect sister. It seems that fear applies to every one of her siblings but Lunar.
Everyone who's calling Lunar a bad person for his "Villain arcs" are ignoring the fact that Earth despite claiming not to be a therapist and trying to "help" Lunar has been sitting there DEMEANING HIM FOR NOT GETTING HELP.
Sure Lunar should see an actual psychologist but why would he want to go to his sister when she's just going to judge him?
Onto the current "villain arc" because I feel like I'm harping too much on Eclipse and Earth, I don't condone Lunar killing Eclipse but Earth's reaction was fucked up.
Lunar has been training for months, it started once every week with one teacher and now it's twice a week with two. He's going to be exhausted, sure Lunar took what Gemini said wrong but they still essentially told this man to stop being traumatized.
Taurus is just as badly in the wrong as Gemini for this however with Gemini I expected some sort of respect? I mean you're claiming to try and love someone despite your limited understanding of the concept however you're treating him like lesser.
Earth claimed to want to help, to understand how stressful training was. But as soon as Lunar tells her that he's getting a break she's ON HIS ASS. (It's not actually a break, Lunar literally got told that he couldn't be useful unless he was letting his emotions go)
Sure, during the Nexus situation he was pretty absent— both Nexus situations he was absent but guess what Earth? HE HAS A LIFE THAT DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND HIS SIBLINGS.
Do I agree Lunar could've been there more? Yes. But he's balancing Training with two GODS twice a week, what limited schedule he's given for the daycare because he "isn't good at his job" (he wasn't MADE to be a daycare attendant he was made to be a suppressant so Eclipse could rule the world) and on top of that he has to go home and be a "good brother" in Earth's eyes.
I feel like Earth pushes her own fear onto Lunar, he's not a bad brother he's just crumbling under pressure LIKE NEXUS. Earth pushed him too far and she got hurt, I'm not saying she deserved it but she has no fucking respect for his emotional and mental well-being because when she looks at him she sees someone unfit to be apart of the Celestial family.
I'm sick and fucking tired of saying that Earth is always good because SHE FUCKING ISN'T. She's a great girlfriend and wonderful at giving advice but she is a HORRIBLE sister to Lunar.
"Earth is crumbling under pressure too—" AT LEAST EARTH HAS OUTLETS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO LET HER VENT. Lunar doesn't have HALF of what she has, when he tries to communicate with the Astrals they put him lower than them and try to tell him how to fix the problem (when you're venting you don't want a solution you want to be heard) when he tries to find his own ways to destress guess who comes waltzing in with another problem? EARTH.
Earth has a problem with Lunar always saying that he's going to die when she has a problem with him but does she not understand that her feelings aren't being invalidated he's just communicating his own? He's afraid and needs someone to talk to and his own SISTER won't comfort him because she's too wrapped up in being pissy over the miniscule issues.
Lunar should've been there more for Sun but could he have? He was trying to cope with the idea that he no longer had mentors, to him he didn't have a purpose. He had every right to try and stay away especially while messing with NSP.
Earth doesn't seem to understand that Lunar has been fucking doomed by the narrative since day one, he's been abused, pushed to the side, and told that if he isn't helpful he might as well be dead. Of course he's going to go looking for other ways to be of use.
I don't agree with Lunar teaming up with Rez and using NSP but he accidentally hurt Earth because she pushed him too far. She asks so much of him. I wish Lunar wouldn't have gotten into this mental state but again he's doomed by the narrative. He loved Gemini and he would've done anything for them to see him as useful.
Now, Lunar is on trial again and his sister is damaged because SHE pushed him too far. I don't hate Earth but trust me I'll be one of the first people to put that bitch in her place because she has no right making Lunar's issues about her.

Fucking. Obsessed. With this.
Because like. I know a lot of people love the whole "Astarion has babies with their Tav and is a wonderful daddy" headcanon, and that's fair - y'all do you. But personally? I can't see it. That man would be an appalling father, imo. Astarion doesn't like kids. And that's okay! (Unlike kicking them for shits and giggles which, while often tempting and undeniably hilarious, is. Really mean.) Anyway. My point: not everyone, in fiction or real life, needs to like or have kids.
But what I fucking love about this interaction is that like. He cares. He very clearly cares, and he sucks ass at trying to hide it. He's concerned for her safety. And, since this is a man who very deliberately tries not to care about anything other than his own survival, lest it be used against him, that implies a pretty impressive level of effort on Yenna's part. He would indulge Tav's worry either way, but I don't think he'd be too bothered himself unless she'd gone out of her way to befriend him. And honestly, that makes sense - she's a sweet, gregarious kid who isn't put off by being snarked at. Kids in general tend to love people with big personalities, which Astarion does. Kids tend to attach themselves to people who'd really rather they kept their distance, which Astarion does. And kids tend to admire and look up to people who seem impossibly classy and clever and worldly-wise, which Astarion would at her age.
This kid, behind the scenes, has been spending time with Astarion. Being nice to him. Maybe asking him questions or trying to talk to him about stuff. She's spent enough time with him that he's started to care.
And y'all know what dynamic I love? Deeply reluctant big brother Astarion.
From what we see of the seven vampire spawns and how they interact, we know the following:
Astarion is one of, if not the, oldest. He says he was one of Cazador's first spawn, but all the ones we see defer to him, so it's possible he's the oldest surviving spawn - I wouldn't put it past Cazador to permakill one that was no longer of use to him. That means he would've found himself in the unenviable position of having to help newly-turned siblings adjust to a traumatic and deeply abusive lifestyle. Considering he was in the same boat, he probably wasn't all that nice about it. But they would likely have relied on him to teach them survival tactics anyway - how to keep Cazador happy, how to say and do the right things to not rock the boat.
The spawns do have some degree of familial attachment to one another. It's a highkey toxic, trauma-based attachment, but it is there. Astarion tells Tav, "At least you've met my family now," and snaps at one of Cazador's servants, "I won't be ordered about in my own home." He calls Dalyria by a nickname, and she expresses concern that he came back when, "You got out, you were free." She clearly believes that he cares for her enough to stop hurting Petras when she begs him ("Brother, please!").
Astarion wants to protect. We see this most with Tav, but there are a couple of lines that suggest that he - like so many older siblings in abusive family situations - knows that his presence, his role as the primary target of Cazador's possessive, violent obsession, has shielded his siblings to some (paltry, piss-poor) extent over the years. Cazador likes to break his toys, and as long as there is still some fight in Astarion, he'll remain the warped and twisted "favourite" - the one Cazador likes to torture and torment the most. He knows that with him gone, they will become the new targets of their master's rages ("Now that I'm gone, well...I pity the other six.")
Anyway. What I'm getting at is that while I can't see Astarion ever serving any kind of fatherly role for Yenna - or for anyone, really - I feel like he'd step fairly easily into the reluctant older brother role with which he is so familiar. That's what he knows.
Like, he will absolutely be snarky and snide with her, because that's who he is. He's spent most of his life in an environment where the only people he got to spend time with, aside from his targets, were his siblings, and they served as rivals and threats more than friends and loved ones. Anyone Astarion isn't actively seducing tends to get his bitchy side. But at the same time, gods help anyone else who picks on her. Only he gets to do that.
He will whine and complain if he's asked to keep an eye on her. But he will do it, begrudgingly, and if she catches him in a particularly good mood he might even come up with a vaguely age-appropriate activity to keep her entertained ("I don't suppose anyone ever bothered to teach you to play whist.")

Hi!! Can you write something for the platonic Yandere Avengers with a meta–human teenage reader? Something resembling emotion management. The reader can cause apathy, joy, etc. BUT at the same time he does not want to deal with the avengers
Hi!!! Thank you for requesting!
Tw: yandere themes + kidnapping mentions.
Tumblr media
The way you meet the Avengers would really depend on how vocal you are about your powers.
-If you’re a vigilante of sorts, relying on triggering criminal’s emotions and fighting them head on, they would reach out first (they don’t really want unidentified superpower kids running around).
-If you hide/use your powers for smaller things, it would probably be another event (e.g. winning a national competition) that draws their attention to you.
Either way, as time progresses, you’re able to clearly see their obsessiveness surrounding you, and, obviously, you don’t want to be apart of that.
-Apathy was the first emotion you tried. If they simply didn’t care about you, they would you leave you alone, yeah?
-Yeah, no.
-If they didn’t yet know of your powers, they could take a good guess now.
Obviously all of them wouldn't be fans of it but I think Tony would hate your powers the most.
-He already struggles to deal with his feelings so constantly supplying him with more messes with his head, especially when it's a clear sign you don't like him.
-He would spend hours reaching in hopes of finding a solution.
Natasha would be a close second.
-Growing up as a spy who was taught to lack any emotion, there's a lot of unprocessed feelings still there.
-In a way, the apathy isn't that different from how she normally feels, or at least presents, but knowing someone else is trying to control her emotions again leaves a bitter taste in her mouth.
Steve, on the other hand, doesn't think too much of it.
-He's aware that this is your coping skill and this whole situation is a lot to handle.
-He'll still hang out, trying to ignore the chokehold of unwanted feelings you’re sending his way, and talk to you like normal.
Bruce would probably be uncomfortable but try to follow Steve's footsteps.
-In a way, the apathy is nice compared to the guilt he feels.
-He knows, probably the most out of all of them, the obsessiveness they all feel isn’t normal at all.
-However, he still goes along with Tony’s experiments and ideas of how to stop (or even better, fully get rid) of your powers, despite any regrets he knows he’ll have.
Clint is also a bit reluctant.
-Thanks to having a family on his own, Clint knows how to deal with kids.
-But those ones don’t ignore him and send him the emotional version of a death threat.
-I think he’ll go along with the other avengers for their sakes rather than his.
-He has a family to ground him, make him self-aware and less overbearing as the others, but he’s not going out of his way to stop them either.
Thor’s a bit unaware of how you want nothing to do with them.
-He wouldn’t be good at dealing with your powers, but he’s dealt with Loki for all his life, and he’s sure you’ll turn around eventually.
-He’ll try to ‘deny’ any emotions you’re sending him while acting too casual for a god trying to befriend some teenager.
If you don’t warm up after a few months, they’d resort to kidnapping.
-It wasn’t their favourite idea, since it would definitely take away any process they’ve made (not that it’s much), but it now means they can constantly be around you and you can’t do anything (yay!).
-Your powers would either be taken away, or useless (e.g. staying a certain distance away if it’s range limited), leaving you completely defenceless.
From there, it’s a waiting game for stockholm syndrome to kick in so you can finally realise who your true family :)

That was really sad man. But it did get me wondering, what type of pokemon would Emily have? Maybe a Togekiss? (I'm loving this pokemon AU)
gods. combine "what pokemon would Emily have" with the fan idea of her eventually ending up in HELL and you can get
-> Chaggie's Absol starts being very interested in Emily during heaven / hell meetings and Emily is SO flattered and delighted she doesn't stop to think why maybe this disaster sensing pokemon is suddenly into her
Charlie does see the warning signs but she's not gonna believe in another bad thing so soon nope, she's very determinedly like "I think it's cute! It can just be a cute thing! Absol is allowed to make normal friends!!" while Vaggie goes "uh oh" and "sure sweetie" and sends the Absol up with Emily at the end of the next meeting- getting very VERY worried when the Absol actually GOES with the seraph no problem...
(plus side Pentious gets to visit and cuddle the old Absol buddy without it being an omen of his impending death yay)
-something something something Emily uses the Absol and Vaggie's observations of them showing up in Pride specifically for Extermination Day as another proof what heaven is doing is WRONG and BAD and needs to stop, something something Lute can't take a Seraphim actually "betraying" heaven by siding fully with hell like this- REALLY can't stand Vaggie being brought up and used against her again, something something the Absol warns Emily of the attack just in time to save MOST of her wings, something, Lute gets sword blocked by the Absol long enough for seraph Emily to get over her shock and one hit K.O. her out of the fight, something, a horrified Sera wants to find a way to heal Emily but also thinks she has to keep her little sister out of sight from heaven until then to not cause more harm (or Raise Questions), and Emily is like, Thanks But Fuck That And Fuck You Too
she ends up in hell (with her remaining wings) not long after Chaggie's Absol first started being friends with her and instead of casting blame she just LOVES the Absol all the more for helping make sure she got down there as safely as she did
Vaggie isn't one bit jealous when the Absol sticks with Emily instead of going back to following Vaggie around. Her own scars have healed up quite a bit- Emily's are fresh- Vaggie knows the feeling
Charlie looks on the bright side and notes that the impromptu haircut Lute gave the Absol with her sword while it was trying to keep her from Emily kinda makes the Absol LOOK like Emily now, with bangs and everything, which is ADORABLE and deserving of SO many cute pictures being taken!
(no Charlie won't be crying in her gf's shoulder about all this) (no she won't blame herself for it a little) (yes she WILL need to be physically held back next time she sees Lute- she held herself back before out of respect for Vaggie's choice to let Lute live but now Vaggie's gonna have to do that in real life bc Fuck That Bitch) (Vaggie will hold Charlie back for Charlie's sake alone bc Vaggie will be twice damned if Lute will be the reason her gf finally does a murder) (save it for Val) (she'll kill Lute herself before she let's Lute have the satisfaction of being that kind of scar on Charlie's soul)
Anyway!!!!
befriending Absol is wonderful for Emily and, almost, makes up for leaving her Togekiss behind in heaven....
...Togekiss don't like being around conflict or war, it was clearly bracing itself to go to hell with Emily but- Emily couldn't stomach doing that to her pokemon pal
She leaves it with Pentious, hoping it can help him stay safe up in heaven, and after looking up what Togekiss evolves from (the egg-like Togepi) Pentious tears up remembering his Egg Bois and sobs and curls his whole snake body around the Togekiss SWEARING to defend it with hisssss new life!!! Some old echo of Togokiss's old kindness sensing Togetic form kicks in and it immediately bonds with with Pentious It's a happy bittersweet thing for Emily to watch happen right before she leaves, and her last view of heaven is watching her (now clearly his) Togekiss help keep Pentious airborne like a living floatation device as he awkwardly tries flapping his new wings and waving goodbye at Emily at the same time
(Lute is NOT happy finding out the filthy Sinner infiltrator is being guarded by a pokemon capable of such powerful attacks now. She'd gone to a lot of trouble getting Togekiss AWAY from Emily before trying to get the jump on the traitorous Seraph, but now everyone is on their guard, and Vaggie's damn Absol ruined everything, and Pentioius's new Togekiss is JUST as cheerfully passive aggressively smug as Emily was. Which is INFURIATING)

I believe the last 16 minutes are what they are.
That’s it, that's the theory/meta (lol), but I have to get this out of my system so bear with me (prob someone already wrote something like this, but well).
Before that though I just wanna clear something - I don't wanna rain in anybody's parade. This is just ONE possible interpretation, and it isn’t meant to invalidate any other interpretations or theories. It's fun to spend a lot of time thinking about something we love, and I enjoy every single meta and theory that I saw out there (pls make more crazy crackpot theories and analysis, they're amazing), even the ones that annoy me, like the coffee theory.
And let's be real for a moment - most of our theories and predictions will be wrong, if not all (and thank Someone for that, I don’t really wanna know what will for sure happen before watching the thing). We aren’t really aiming to get everything right, right? We are discussing something we love and having fun. Neil Gaiman and all the team that works on Good Omens are amazing, and I know they will surprise us no matter what. 
(also, this is a bit long sorry)
So, with that out of the way:
We have to remember who Aziraphale essentially is. He changed over time, but there's one thing that still remains at the core of his being. He is a protector. The guardian of the eastern gate, who yields the flaming sword. 
A sword he gives to humanity, so Adam and Eve can protect themselves - because Aziraphale is emphatic, good and loves humanity. And then he lies to God herself, not metatron or other angel,  but to Her own light about it.
And he keeps on doing that - the whole Job minisode, the halo blow up, trying to stop the armageddon. He protects the thing he likes, does what he loves and trusts his own judgment (why an angel shouldn't dance? Why shouldn't an angel enjoy human pleasures? Why shouldn't an angel trust and befriend a demon? Aziraphale always does what he wants and thinks it's right in the end).
THIS MAN SHAPED BEING IS SUCH A GUARDIAN THAT HE EVENS PROTECTS GABRIEL, THE ARCHANGEL THAT TRIED TO ELIMINATE HIM IN HELLFIRE BC HE SEES INNOCENCE IN HIM.
But the thing about Aziraphale is that he wants to be tempted to have a reason to do what he wants to do. He doesn't need it to challenge the system and do what he thinks is right or wants, but being tempted is something that he enjoys. It's a game he and Crowley play constantly.
And that's what the Metatron ends up offering (without really knowing; Metatron has his own agenda, the second coming, and he knows that if A&C are together things are gonna be more difficult). Metatron gives the opportunity to Aziraphale to protect Crowley and their existence, which is now even more endangered by the threat of the Book of Life. Aziraphale wants to protect their lives, because he knows they weren't really safe after the armageddon’t. Both of them know they aren’t safe, and we can see it more clearly on Crowley. He is a lot more stressed and on the edge this season (he literally summons a lightning to dissipate his anger), but we can also see that on how Aziraphale keeps trying to escape reality and focusing in other things - how his mind drifts into the book of Job, how he takes the bentley to go scape and investigate the Clue (and we see that fantasy landscape), how he puts up an entire eldritch, mind controlling ball to dance with crowley and confess get nina and maggie together. Their existence post Armaggeddon’t is fragile. 
And this is before he even knows about the second coming, something Crowley learned alone in heaven and wasn't able to communicate to Aziraphale yet. And, on top of that, he still believes in the Ineffable Plan - not necessarily in heaven or the system, but that She is good, so heaven must have something good in it still.
But, even with all this on the table, Aziraphale is hesitant in accepting metatrons offer… So, WHEN DID AZIRAPHALE SAID YES TO HEAVEN?
I could now make a big analysis of the last 16 minutes, but I feel that at this point everyone knows those events by heart, so I won’t bore you with that.
(breathes heavily) Okay, so… yes, there seems to be something fishy about the whole thing. Aziraphale expressions are all over the place, and we can't really trust his narrative about what metatron said. Yes, the coffee symbolizes a threat (c'mon, offering a coffee from Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death, while asking Aziraphale to go back to heaven is easily read as a threat. Aziraphale is intelligent, and has been working in the shadows, and hiding, and talking in codes for 6000 years, he knows when danger presents itself), but that coffee also symbolizes a temptation to Aziraphale - a chance to get what he wants and get to know things. The Coffee is The Apple of this season.
So:
he has a motive, protect crowley and their life together (and then after the divorce he learns that he also can protect humanity and all the other things he loves again)
He has the opportunity to create a safer environment for them to be together.
He has the opportunity to have Crowley by his side while changing things.
He has the opportunity to try to change things from the inside..
He has the opportunity to get a hold of THE most powerful and important book to ever exist.
With all that, he WANTS to go to heaven, even if that means getting away from earth for a bit. It may be the only way to get the peace that he wants. 
He knows it will be dangerous and extremely uncomfortable. He doesn't trust heaven, he knows how bad Gabriel was (he doesn't even say he loves Gabriel, and he acknowledges he was an ass), he knows how cruel heaven can be (he even fought that many times, like in the Job minisode). He wants to have Crowley by his side, and tries to convince him to be by his side and show his reasoning. Even when the demon refuses his proposal, there's still no other choice other than going to heaven, in Aziraphale’s perspective, and that just gets confirmation when he learns about the second coming (to me, that’s when he REALLY decides to go).
And we can’t forget one of the most important things about the ending: the divorce is an amazing and necessary step to move the characters forward. 
Stories need conflict. Conflict is essential to make characters evolve and get things happening so you can pass the message that you want and make people feel things.
It makes sense for A&C story and character development, they getting away from each other and try to resolve things on their own for a bit. It makes sense that they have that heartbroken discussion/confession, they need that to get on the same page and be together in the future (and also, think about how satisfying it will be for us, the viewers, to see that happen after all the hurt?? delicious). Conflits, problems, the bad stuff are essential ingredients to make us love a story, even if it doesn't have a happy ending. No one really likes to eat a raw egg, but we need it to bake a cake, and some people may not enjoy bitter tasting food, but some people really like that (trash analogy, I know). In the end, we like stories because we like to feel things (there are other reasons too, but that is the big one I think), and what could make us feel something more intense than separating Crowley and Aziraphale? I feel like in the Good Omens universe, the world could be destroyed but we'd still be happy if they were together in the end. That's how much we love and care for those two.
With all that layed out, this is what I have to say: with this interpretation, there is no secret communication between A&C during all that. There's no stopping time, body swap, almond poison, and etc. 
The breakup has to be real, hurtful, and raw.
It has to be true. 
If we want them to evolve and to be happy and safe, and for the world in Good Omens to be happy and safe, the hurt is necessary.
I think I'd feel a bit betrayed and mad if that was all  an act of them. 
I'm not saying that there isn't funny business happening, we know that Crowley has a plan (let me talk about this for a hot second… he knows the outline plan from the second coming. He saw that whole meeting in heaven, but we just saw the ending. Crowley and Muriel know what is the second coming and we don't. there's something there, he for sure has a plan to at least survive this), Aziraphale has a plan and Metatron has an agenda, but that communication hell and heart massacre was REAL. 
Let's think for a moment - what if they run off together? Where does the story goes? How would the characters develop? They wouldn't be happy in Alpha Centauri. They aren't like B&G, that never lived on earth, that each other is their own home. No. A&C toast to the world. The world is their home, their lair. They've built it, their own place. Exile is not a good option. It's a desperate option that Crowley only offers when he feels trapped (don't you think he would've tried to go there in the years after Armageddon’t if he thought the two of them would be happy there?). Aziraphale can’t accept that, a life without the joy of the things they love. That would be prison.
And in the same way, Crowley can't go to heaven. Not back to a place that abandoned him, that doesn't accept questions, that saw the universe he helped create as pretty wallpaper. Aziraphale is trying to offer freedom from hell, without realizing how that just hurts. Crowley can't follow Aziraphale’s plan, that would also be exile. That would also be prison.
They have to figure things out on their own this time, and use this space to grow. They know they still can rely on each other (6000 years of partnership isn’t shattered that easily), but for now they need to heal (and save humanity and their home again). They hurt each other very badly over the years, and most of the time without knowing. They had to keep distance to protect each other, and now (during/after figuring out the second coming) they will need to learn to be open and not hide, so they can be together, to be an “Us”.
Aziraphale and Crowley have different perspectives, and they decided to part ways. 
No matter what Mr Gaiman is hiding, no matter what the plot and mysteries and clues and details in the season led us to, the breakup and all that hurt is real.
In other words: it  is what it is.

Izogie x Black fem reader —
— Even if you thought Izogie was unbearable, your body always disagreed. Or, a tangible love between the two of you blooms on your father's farm.
will include; reader being stub-BORN, izogie is a clown, your clown though, reader claims they dont like Izogie, bad. Heavy on, betrayal of emotions, smut, watching a person masturbate, fingering (mostly to themselves), clit play, first time, and fluff at the end.
Tumblr media
“How are you and my daughter getting along?” Your father smiles at Izogie.
“Quite fine, does she speak of me?” She flashes a smile back shaking her wet hands off. Your father does little chuckle.
“She says you annoy her greatly”
“She has no humour! all I do is tease her” Izogie can feel a playful side-eye directed to her.
“Can you go see if she's done with that half acre of corn, I also need some water” Izogie nods and brings a metal bucket out with her on the path of a sparkly river. She cuts through the the plants and hears a soft melody in the distance. Instantly assuming that it comes from you. Her hands push past long leaves that soon reveal you, skin shining like glitter under the sun.
Izogie was so in awe of you that her feet were planted in her spot.
You ring out your frivolous curls and turn around ready to leave but instead you jump back when you spot Izogie staring at you.
“My god, stop doing that!”
“Doing what? it's not like you own this river. I have to get water for dinner anyway” you hold onto your chest as she crouches down, scooping some water in the big bucket.
At the feeling of your eyes glued on her, Izogie glances up, the smallest sight of her teeth bareing from the side. Her eyes scan you down shortly, judges of amusement paneling in her eyes.
You snap ushering her to speed up her task, “it doesn't take centuries to scoop water! hurry up!” she rolls her eyes.
“do you want me to fall into the river?”
“yes, as I matter of fact.” you swim to her and she quickly yanks the bucket from the water, trying to equal it's weight so the liquid doesn't spill. As she grins down at you frustrated face, there comes a loud calling of her name.
“well I am off, be sure to tend to that corn or your father will be angry” before you can retort she's on her way calling back to her uncle.
You don't miss the sight of her biceps flexing to hold the bucket and that makes you curse quietly, swimming to get your clothes.
Dwanu was a good friend of your father and planned to start coming over so the two could exchange agricultural secrets. You could imagine the two cackling over foolish things back at the house. Though, the neice Dwanu talked so fondly about was not who you thought she was.
Izogie was buffer than you thought, having toner muscles than the men in your village. There was something about her that felt laddish and when you both were left alone her mouth seemed to ruin everything you thought of her. Izogie brags and teases a lot, she was also competitive and felt the need to show her many skills at any chance given.
If she'd turn off her chatter maybe you would befriend her.
Whatever.
You tell yourself to stop thinking about it and dry off with a towel, soon making your way back home.
•••
“Amen.” the whole table echoes this praise as you uncross your hands and grab for a wooden bowl. You can't help the way Izogie's presence makes you feel, conflicting your senses in so many ways you wished it wouldn't. Even the subtle heat of her body which you can clearly feel is taking over you.
But she didn't have a clue, just sat in her seat and ate dinner, more indulged in the plate of food than the verbal back and forth between your father and her uncle.
The way her lips sucked the sauce off her thumb made you feel like the top of a beer mug, layered with lots of bubbly cream that slowly dissipated. Your eyes went through the arm hole of her shirt, gaping slightly at the sight of her obliques tensing up.
She laughed at your father's antics for sucking his teeth, just like you did.
“Swesi do not be angry that you cannot grow your tomatoes like mine, it requires great skill to get them ripe and juicy and-”
“Ntchu, Dwanu hush didn't you come over to ask me how to grow corn fresh?!” Swesi's accent flows strong like a tipped barrel full of water.
“You are not the king of farming-”
“The people say I am!” You can't help but let out a small laugh as well. Izogie glances at you, face propped on her knuckle. Mauve gums make the slightest appearance in your smile and in a way it makes it cuter.
She also sees that the loose strap of your gown has fallen and pulls it up. She knows what she's doing and if your father and her uncle weren't here you would attempt to wrestle her.
Your hand comes up straight after fixing it more as she smiles to herself and returns to her plate again.
“pass the milk, please” your father sighs and you blink.
“we have none father.” he gets ready to say something before he snaps.
“you are right, i meant to get some yesterday but I forgot”
“i have to go by the market as well, we should go together?” Dwanu furrows his brows before scooping a spoon of beans into his mouth. Your father asks if they should leave now and Dwanu confirms that they should.
“well you two we will be leaving, protect eachother and cause no trouble, I must say this knowing you too” your father raises his brow comedically.
“of course, I will protect her.” you were so tired of Izogie's shananigans that you just give her the most dirtiest look you could muster, her ignoring it just fueling the twist of your face.
“be kind to one another as well” Dwanu chimes in slipping his feet into some flats.
“Right, me and dwanu are off.” When they both leave Izogie follows on their way out and waves them good bye until there in a far distance. You put your plate up and make your way to your room but Izogie's voice stops you.
“Hey, I have to wash my clothes, don't step out of the house until I come in. I don't know what will get you beyond these fields.” you step up to her, chest to chest as you dig a finger in-between her chest.
“I am not a child, I am older than you.” you walk off and the way your hips sway have her swooning, she adores the way you speak to her even when it's coated in an attitude. Izogie calls after you and you roll your eyes at the smile being heard in her voice.
“I'm going out now!” she chuckles and grabs some gloves and a bucket from the the porch. When you arrived pulled back the curtain to your room, settling on your quilt and sighing. It was long day and you wanted to relax.
•••
Izogie clipped that last piece of clothing on the line before walking back to the house. She pushed the material that covered the entryway to the side and looked around. It sounded too quiet and the atmosphere was too dark. Not a hint of candle lights or the sound of moving against a quilt. Izogie wouldn't go to bed without checking on you.
The path to your room wasn't far anyway but when she reached it the faintest thing was heard, she tilted her head curiously to test if it was her imagination. Both hands resting on either side of the door way.
“mh.” Izogie parts her lips slightly looking in every direction she can't see before focusing in on your voice, for a second she feels ashamed for eavesdropping but can't bring herself to move. The way ecstasy dripped from your voice sounded so sweet.
Every whiny breath and moan flew through her ears like a song, why would Izogie want to leave this gentle entraption, that was you.
Something like this was only possible in her dreams.
The moment Izogie met you she couldn't think. Honest to the gods the way you looked at her made her feel small, at a feeling so foreign she wanted to reject it which led to her constantly taunting you.
Deep inside she wanted you to read her and make her confess, because bottling up these emotions she hid didn't necessarily feel good.
So as Izogie listens to you touching yourself, the images in her mind make her body feel loose, fluid-like. Her protective walls are melting down until the obscene thoughts of her mind are bared to succor.
Another moan comes but it's louder than the rest and Izogie's eyes get large. She finds herself settling on her knees, biting her lips as only muffled sounds meet her ears. Would she be wrong if her hand traced across the waistline of her shorts, placing her thumb inside to brush across her curls.
Izogie leaned forward as she mindlessly peeled the curtain back, your body was shown covered with a dainty beige material over your waist and chest, she felt breathless.
The hand in her shorts traveling further as her eyes did the same down your neck. Parts of your body are glowing from the moonlight, the argent shade overlaying your warm cocoa skin.
Izogie's eyes flickered up to your hand sliding from your mouth, a connecting string of spit that she desperately wanted to lick up, even biting her lip to suppress her groans about it. She wanted include herself in your pleasure so badly, wanted to handle you the way you liked and learn your body with her hands and her lips, and her toungue.
She shut her eyes at the thought stroking her clit as she momentarily put her head back. The long shirt that pooled around her working wrist was lifted up by her free hand, the task of her rubbing her clit becoming easier. Izogie let out an involuntary moan and quickly yanked her hand away, rushing to the guest room.
You sat up in panic, quickly wrapping the material over your whole body. Your curtain was still as you took your hand to it, dragging it to the side and sighing in relief as there was no one there, maybe it was your imagination and once Izogie finished washing clothes she immediately hit the bed. You hoped as much.
•••
In the guest room, Izogie needed to tend to her throbbing as soon as possible. The temperature in the room felt tropical and in a snap of a finger all her clothes were off. She wanted to reach that state you'd been so close to obtaining, remembering how you touched your clit and resuming the circles.
Her body shudders slightly, elbows not serving her anymore to which she lays flat against the cover relaxing her legs apart. Thick brows furrowing when a shock makes her moan.
You walk down the hallway and approach Izogie's room to see if she is asleep. Not much thought occurs when you peel back the curtain, the sight making your jaw drop. In the faint light her body glows and her pussy is drenched in an luminescent fluid you thought of licking up.
Izogie's switches her hand over her mouth for inserting a thumb. That makes her think of penetration, what if she were to..
Her fingers prod at her entrance and insert a finger, hissing lowly. It's tight but the pain feels somewhat satisfying, Izogie finds herself wanting more and inserts another one moaning loud again and you believe she doesn't care anymore.
Your thighs get stickier the more she lets out those sinful noises including the wet ones coming from her pussy. Nibbling on your bottom lip unmercifully.
“god—”
She glances at the curtain and jumps, cursing loudly. Instead of taking her fingers out she keeps them in, as she covers her most intimate body parts with a blanket.
Your expression feigns alarm, “oh!” your feet only go three meters before she's calling you.
“stop!” you oblige and watch her place a cover over her. She looks flustered, an expression you wanted to see more often instead of her arrogant facade.
“you spied on me?" She stares at you intensely, ironic how you two were both interrupted from your masturbations. “how long have you been watching?”
“not long!” Izogie looks skeptical and brought her legs closer to her chest.
“.. what were you doing before?”
“... relaxing.” she doesn't expect for you to tell the fake yet unfake truth and sputters for words, the action making you chuckle and shrug.
“it's normal, no?” she reluctantly shrugs also struggling to ask you a certain question now that you're here.
“Is it.. normal to..... offer help during this?”
“What, touching yourself?”
“yes.” Izogie sighs out and you decide to play with her a bit.
“I guess, what? Do you want my help? Seems like you have it figured out."
“this is not.. the time to tease-” a smirk forms on your lips, "it is the perfect time to tease you my sweet izo. I just wanted to check if you came back inside and here you are, pleasuring yourself..." A moment of silence passes when you trail off. Izogie is beyond embarrassed but your tone strangely didn't give off any ridicule.
It was low and soft as your eyes were observant through the shadows. Observing each shift and movement of her body. Izogie realized quickly that she didn't have to be the core of your taunt, she could be shameless and flip this situation in her favor. And that is what she was going to do.
"Yes, as you've seen.. I am pleasuring myself. Judging by the way you're still standing and staring at me you must want to see more?" Then you snap out of every little thing thats kept you afloat. The anchor of confrontment pulls you down and you hold the side of the entrance to keep from buckling at her bold statement.
"You're disgusting.. "
"Says the girl who's still in my room, knowing i was doing something privately to which you had no right to know?" Izogie frowns and gets comfortable against the wall, fully covered by now.
"... when did you get inside the house." You blankly asked and she sucked her teeth, "I got in a while ago."
"So you saw me?" You began walking and let the flap go as she visibly froze. "I saw you?"
"You watched me too.. and–" you get on your knees, glancing down at her legs that are still tightly squeezed close.
“let out an interesting sound when you realized what I was doing, Izogie.” Your tone is sultry and she bites her lip from it, heart pounding as she slowly spread her thighs to make space for you.
"You are un-believable, you don't even mind me being here do you?" You scoot closer as inhales through her flared nostrils and presses against the wall.
"I mind a lot."
You chuckle “sure.. just tell me you want me here.” Izogie never broke from yours until she flickered her eyes to your lips.
"And make your ego swell? Please." She rolls her eyes and you finally scowl, body raising to go.
"I didn't say leave." She held your wrist and from then on you showed her a lot of things that night.
•••
Her lips fell open to let out deep breaths. You wanted to pounce on her whole visual and make her reach the finish line but you can only praise her.
“good, good. You can go faster if you want” in regards to the fingers inside of her.
“I'd finish to soon— mm”
“y-yeah- go at your own pace.”
Her pussy swallows her long fingers bit by bit, squelching when she reaches a tight abyss. Izogie wets her lips just to bite them over. You would have never thought to see her like this, ever.
“can you touch me too?” she mumbles.
“only if it's okay?” she nods her head, shakily breathing as she begins to stop. You feel the insides of her thighs and scoot closer to her.
“can I get on your lap?” Izogie hums permission and you settle there, reaching a hand to cup her mound. She closes her eyes leaning her head on your chest. Two fingers give attention to her swollen clit that jumps at the contact.
“do you feel what I'm doing to you?” you ask breathing throuh your nose to calm yourself down, she drags her head up and looks at with the most irresistible eyes. Her plump lips blowing around an —I do— and it's hushed. Only for you to hear. You can't control yourself anymore and grip her tricep circling it faster as her thighs shake.
“Your near, aren't you?”
“Mhm” you nod and feel proud of yourself for unraveling her. Hands float over your sides and grip your ass, the aggression making you emit a quick yelp.
“can I— touch you?” you give the green light and she lifts the wrap up, fingers searching for your clit and then rolling it the same you pace were going in on her. You moan loudly and rise off your knees a bit.
“mm. mm.” she hooks an arm around your waist, strictly holding you close as she abused your clit with focus.
“yes!” her mouth is pressed against your breast and unconsciously sucking your nipple through the material. You stroke her head and quickly slide some of her juices on her cunt to make the slides easier.
“I'm close- cumming-” When you still, her pace doesn't stop. You're cumming all over her hand and you know it, you must grab her wrist and tell her that it's too much before she apologizes, that being cut off by her own gasp. Now she's finishing herself, arching her back off the wall before tensing up her core. She holds your elbow gently and you stop, rubbing your fingers on your wrap.
“How was that?”
“I just gave my virginity to you.”
“oh, me too.” as your highs come down you can't believe it but it's true, both of you just had sex and there's stars in Izogie's dim lit eyes that sparkle the more she looks at you. She's just staring until you get closer and peck her lips. Her eyes shut closed and then she grabs your face for something much longer than a simple peck.
She's still in the middle of rebooting so her motions are slightly sloppily and then you feel a thick tongue licking and lapping at your lips, before she uses her own to slowly enclose around yours again. Izogie hopes she's kissing you right, you transfer the most lightest whimpers through her throat and it's lulling her unbeknownst to you.
When you're out of breath you pull away and she settles for kissing your cheek and temple, moving down the slope of your neck.
“thank you” she mutters.
“of course, I'll be here whenever you need me”
“whenever I need you?” she hums in your shoulder and you can tell, slumber is bound to take her conscious any moment from now.
“Ɛɛn, ayi ce.” yes, my heart.

Sharing a darling
Tumblr media
[ HEADCANONS ] [ Hakubo & Sumire ]
[ Toilet Bound Hanako-kun / Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun ]
⚠️ Yandere, I don't support nor try to romanticize this toxic behaivor, is just for entretaiment
Tumblr media
Getting to meet them was amazing, both are incredibly characters and the relasionship they have is incredibly interesting and cute <333
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hakubo and Sumire have being together since she was just a kid, and even when she can seem kind and sweet Hakubo constantly has to clean the mess Sumire always causes, over the time both have grow to care a lot for the other and make a greap team for whatever Sumire is up to
It is quite weird for anyone in the village to get close to Sumire due her role, people think that she is just a pest or can even mistreat her, so the key for Sumire to catch feelings for you is that you are diferent from anyone else. You have always being kind and treat her as an equal, even when you know her role and fate that have never stopped you from trying to befriend her, wich end up leading Sumire to want more, dragging you around with her to whatever she is up to, getting out of her way just to be able to hang out with you
Sumire is well aware of her position but also of how indispensable she is for the village, wich lead her to do what she wants when she want it, so she has no problem on monopolize your time. It didn't take her much time for her obsession to grow nor underestand her feelings, finding them quite funny but completely willing to just give in her obsession and love and find a way to proclaim you as hers
For Hakubo it took more time, Sumire didn't have troubles to leave him behind to be with you at first, so he had a complicated relasionship with you at first, but over time, as Sumire's obsession grow you were dragged to him too, so his obsession grew after Sumire's and for him it was slowly. Hakubo wasn't able to understand his feelings, he just knew that he wanted you close and be able to protect you, but Sumire knew, she was able to tell that Hakubo was growing to love you too, and not just that but it was the same intense feelings she has
Sumire find hilarious Hakubo's feeling, and even more that he is still unawere, she doesn't really mind it, she knows Hakubo is at her side and, aside from you, he is the only one that truly deserve anything good in this village, so she wouldn't mind much sharing you with him, however Sumire won't make things so easy for him, if Hakubo won't accept his feeling then he doesn't deserve your attention. Sumire has a lot of fun teasing Hakubo about his own ignorance, purposely taking you away from him or being clearly affectionate to you, wanting to make Hakubo as jealous as posible just to mess with him
It isn't until Hakubo runs out of patient that he finally realice his feeling for you, confronting Sumire and telling her that he will do what he has to do to make sure you are safe and at his side, but Sumire doesn't want to fight him, so (after laughing at him) she will explain that she was just messing with him, she doesn't mind his feelings, both can share you and make sure you are safe at their side. Sumire makes his way with her words to convince Hakubo that the only right option is to take you with them, keeping you as close as posible since people of this village doesn't even deserve to be in your presence
Sumire and Hakubo are a really good team, they work together really well, but, even if Hakubo wouldn't mind much you interacting with others Sumire doesn't like it, so is thanks to her that you are slowly insolated, taking you away from everyone else, so slowly that you didn't even noticed it
Both are quite loving, Sumire is incredibly affectionate and touchy, going from complimenting you to hold you in her arms, being all playful with you and touching you here and there, in the contrary Hakubo limits himself to be close to you and watch you two since he doesn't really know what to do or how to react to his own feelings, thats with you (and when you willingly accept their presence and affection) because aside form you everyone else is treaten coldly and with a fake kindness, with clear but indirect threatens of not even thinking on getting between what all of you have
As well, Sumire and Hakubo are incredibly caring, always making sure you are safe at their side and taking care of any need or even wounds you have, and since Sumire still does what she wants you are always dragged to her little adventures, so you'll never lack of fun in your life neither. If you accept to give up and follow what they ask you your life can become like a beautiful dream, just close your eyes and follow their lead blindly
Sumire tries really hard to win your blind trust as soon as posible because she still has to make a plan to avoid her terrible fate with Hakubo and she wants to make sure that, no matter what they do, at the end, you will not fear them nor try to run away (not that they will let it happen, but they will prefer to avoid hurting you)

What If I'm Someone You Don't Want Around?
Steve Harrington x fem! Reader. Hurt no comfort because I'm tired and done with life.
Tumblr media
Steve fought against the weight of his own eyes and tried to listen to Robin and Eddie in front of him.
He's never been like this. He usually doesn't drink this much. He doesn't do drugs. And he definitely doesn't mix drugs and alcohol.
He has the vague memory of Eddie trying to stop him. Steve shouldn't be doing drugs and alcohol at the same time. Not when he doesn't even know how to control alcohol. But Robin was doing the same too, and he wanted to have fun with both of his best friends.
He doesn't remember why you're not there. He does notices Nancy worried and over the fun, circling the own space she was standing. Jonathan, well, he was amused. Not because he wasn't worried about Steve, but because he was almost as high as him.
Robin pleads for him to not close his eyes and he shooks his head, promising he won't. Robin smiles at him, asking if it's alright if she takes him home now. But he can't. He can't come home to Joyce and Hopper. Not when they were the first loving family he ever had. Not when just yesterday Joyce told him how proud of him she was.
"S' alright, Steve" Jonathan started "Mom won't say anything. She says it's fine as long as you know your limits"
But Steve clearly disrupted his own limits that same night. He shook his head again. He didn't want this. He didn't want to be there, not without you at least.
"My girl" He pleaded, looking at Robin with a worried face and at the edge of tears "Please call my girl"
It was a matter of minutes the time it took you to arrive there. Worried, because Robin sounded concern over the phone but she won't give any further explanation.
"Baby..." You called as soon as you saw Steve. He looked sad, defenseless. He was sitting on the floor in a corner of the big club. "Hey? Steve?"
He looked at you and flashed a smile, which disappeared as soon as he showed it. He was ashamed of himself. He was in the worst he has ever been and you were there. Watching him, you wouldn't want him anymore.
You would notice the mess he was and you'll leave him. He doesn't want you to leave.
"Please don't go..." He pleaded, crying, a broken tone in his voice and it drowned you in sadness. Because you didn't want Steve feeling like that "I'm sorry... I'm not this. I'm not just this. I'm more. I'm much more..." A pause, almost as if he was trying to make himself believe what he was saying "... I can be much more than this"
You knew it. Everyone did. You didn't think of Steve like this, no one around here in fact did. Steve Harrington, once king of Hawkins High, Steve Harrington who found redemption. Steve Harrington who took care of six children even if he didn't have to. Steve Harrington who befriended the town freak and convinced Eddie Munson that Art School would be his better fit. Steve Harrington who made amends with Jonathan and accepted what happened with Nancy had a reason to be. Steve Harrington who was so painfully, utterly, deeply, madly in love with you.
Steve harrington was all that, and not you or anyone would think of him as a drug addict or an alcoholic.
"Once in a while won't hurt" You say. "You wanna go home"
He panics: "I can't. No, no, please, not home"
"Alright... what about a hotel?" He nods "Sounds better right? Let's go, baby"
You smile as you watch Steve stand up and you laugh when he falls down back to the floor again, he can't help but chuckle with you.
"Sorry I disturbed your night" He starts "You're my girl. I should take care of you"
And that line was the exact reason you couldn't believe what was happening.
It was around 4:00 a.m. and Steve wasn't around. The room door was closed but the lock was put back. It was dark and cold, the streets weren't a safe place for Steve, not this late at night, not in his state.
You asked the receptionist about him, and she told you he even took the car. He seemed to be in a hurry, so you give her the card key back and walk to the exit door. Believing he couldn't be that far like that.
At some point you didn't even know where you were. The stores looked like nothing you've seen before and most of the street lights were off, the pavement was a bit humid and the only source of light you saw was from a 24 hours store.
You were tired, cold and scare. You had to give your cash and phone to someone, avoiding any kind of conflict they wanted to create.
"Hi" You called the tall boy behind the counter "I– I'm lost... Can I use your cellphone to call my... my boyfriend?"
He must have sense your desperation and the cold traveling through your bones because he accepted with no hesitation and handed you his coat.
You thanked him and dialed Steve's phone number. It ringed. One, two, three times. He hung up the call. So you tried again, and again.
"M' sorry... he usually, he always picks up"
"Maybe because it'a an unknown number"
You nod, and asked him to call someone else. He allowed you to, and Nancy picked up at the first ring.
...STUPID! ...RECKLESS... HOW COULD YOU BE SO, SO, SO IRRESPONSABLE.
The screams died as soon as Nancy said your name, you could bet whoever was there was surrounding her, trying to hear you at the other side of the phone. And you tried to smile, happy that your friends were always there.
"Nancy?" You asked again, even thought you knew it was her "I'm... I actually don't know... where I am. It's cold. And I'm scare" You cried.
... where she is.
You heard Eddie's voice at the other side of the line, Nancy told him you don't know and he demanded her to talk to you. She wouldn't allow it, she's the one keeping it together there. You don't need Eddie and Hopper's desperation, or Robin, Jonathan and Joyce worries. And the last thing you needed was Steve cries.
"Hey, pretty" Nancy started "Is there anyone you could ask where you are?"
"There's this guy who handed me his phone"
"Cool. Put him on the speaker, please"
By 8:00 a.m. you were having breakfast at Joyce Byer's table. A delicious plate of fluffy pancakes standing in front of you, the only thing getting your attention right now. You were starving, and you were just recovering from the cold morning air.
You completely missed Steve cries and pleas. You were incapable of hearing a single word he was saying. And it wasn't like you were intentionally ignoring him. He just wasn't one of your worries right now.
If he could leave you just like that, at a hotel you didn't know. In a part of town unknown to you, then he was the least of your concerns right now.
"Leave her alone, Steve" You heard Robin slapping his hand off of your thighs.
You frowned and looked at him, realizing just now he was touching you. Just realizing he was trying to talk to you, but he seemed like a blur, so you looked at Robin instead, who smiled at you and kissed your forehead.
You didn't want to see Steve, so it was a big relief you couldn't.
"This breakfast is delicious, Joyce"
Steve took your shoulders and made you look at him. And you had no option but look at the dark circles down his eyes and the puffiness of his skin.
"Please, don't act like I don't exist"
"Maybe we should have breakfast outside" Nancy said, looking at the table to see Jonathan taking his and her plate and heading outside, the others following leaving you and steve. Alone.
"Please, talk to me"
"I don't know what I'm supposed to say, Stevie" You chuckle "Was funny though. You left me there, by myself, in a place I didn't know. You took the car and my credit car. And you just, pranked me, I guess"
"Baby..."
"Were you mad because I couldn't go to the party?" He tries to speak but you continue "I really couldn't. I told you, I explained to you what I had to do, I was clear and I was honest" Tears were falling down your face at that point "Were you trying to... to punish me? To humiliate me for leaving you alone?"
"Of course no"
"If you hate me... If you hate our relationship, our dynamic, my schedules, my career... you cheat. You cheat on your partner when you're not happy, you go behind my back and fuck someone else... you don't leave me on my own, worried. I thought the worst thing that would happen was you driving while intoxicating and you were just trying to get rid of me!" You raised your voice "I gave away my phone! I gave away my money and I had to pray God or anyone who could respond right in that moment for someone to not... touch me!"
"Darling..."
"I don't want to be with someone like that" You say and chuckle "I don't think of you as a drug addict. Or an alcoholic. I know you're much more than that. You're evil. You're mean and you're disrespectful. You had no concern for my well being, you didn't care that your girlfriend was outside at fucking 4 a.m. You didn't stop to think about me"
"I did. I think about you, I think about you all the time I left and I was thinking about you, about how I was ashamed of you seeing me like that because I just, I don't want to be someone you rather not have around"
"You are someone I don't want around anymore, Steve"

5+ headcanons for an AU where Barry tells Iris about his powers in episode 1 instead of telling Joe?
I do indeed have so many ideas and opinions here. :D
So Barry realizes he can run super fast and accidentally face plants in a laundry truck (isn't that lucky???) and the first person he wants to tell is Iris. She's the one who has always believed in him about weird and impossible things, so he goes to her first and shows her what he can do. With a soft landing spot since he's still working on stopping.
Iris encourages Barry to go to Dr. Wells, Cisco, and Caitlin for help figuring out his powers. She's perhaps a bit iffy on Wells, but Cisco and Caitlin were nice people who she got to know fairly well with all the visiting STAR Labs. Barry wasn't exactly talkative during that time, after all, so Iris ended up slowly befriending Cisco and Caitlin and she trusts them even if their boss is kinda a dick.
Joe would probably find out as per canon and then immediately go into the doghouse by trying to exclude Iris. Iris would not take that well and it'd be a West feud in Episode 2. With Barry, perhaps, pointing out that Iris hasn't told Joe about dating Eddie and that while she deserves to be angry about Joe attempting to keep secrets from her... she's already keeping secrets from him.
I think not telling Eddie would be a point of contention for them early on. Iris loves Eddie, of course she thinks he's trustworthy. But Barry doesn't know Eddie and is jealous of him for being Iris' boyfriend. Barry would likely make the (very valid) point that it's his secret, not Iris', and he doesn't actually know Eddie well at all yet. Iris would thus push Barry and Eddie to hang out together so that they will know each other better.
Thus, a Barry & Eddie bonding episode! Maybe after the Rainbow Raider episode, though, so that there's tension over Eddie understandably not being thrilled about the Flash hurting him and Barry coming to like Eddie despite himself, but not feeling he can tell Eddie about being the Flash. Because Eddie doesn't like the Flash right now and if he knew Barry was the Flash then he wouldn't like Barry anymore.
That said, with Iris read in she'd blog about how the Flash's actions were a result of being affected by the Rainbow Raider, so the Flash's reputation would take less of a hit after that incident.
There'd be a lot more Barry/Iris/Eddie moments and Barry would realize that he's got feelings for Eddie too at some point, making dating Linda an attempt to get over not just Iris, but Eddie too, which Linda figures out very quickly at the bowling double date.
Linda - Hey, Iris, I'm gonna break up with Barry because you and your boyfriend are pretty clearly in love with him and it's reciprocated. Iris - O_O what???
Now Joe would be against telling Eddie that Barry's the Flash, but I think with Iris encouraging Barry to do so and Barry liking Eddie so much, that it would eventually happen. Though when it happens determines whether Eddie is upset over having secrets kept from him.
Earliest point would probably be when Eddie steps in to save Barry from Mick & Len using one of the shields Cisco made. Barry realizes that Eddie doesn't hate the Flash after all and might be willing to hear Barry out over the Rainbow Raider debacle and comes clean. Eddie probably still wouldn't be thrilled to have had this secret kept from him for the last few months but he'd understand that Barry didn't know him until the last few months so building up that trust had to take some time first.
Later it goes, however, more likely that Eddie needs an episode or two to get over the betrayed feeling and maybe it becomes a sore spot that Eobard can hammer at later on.
Eobard probably would be of two minds about looping Iris in. It's annoying because Barry is more likely to argue against EoWells when they disagree with Iris supporting him. But Iris is dating his ancestor while not also being his ancestor, so Eobard is eager for ways to break that couple up before wedding bells destroy his very existence. And then Barry catches feelings for Eddie too and Eobard is just kinda going 'well fuck' and whining to Gideon about 'why does everyone like my useless ancestor anyway???'
(Gideon - maybe it's because he's not a dick like you are? Eobard - What was that? Gideon - Nothing.)
Eddie getting a secondary exposure to dark energy during the Flash vs Reverse Flash fight triggers his Cobalt Blue powers. So while shooting himself doesn't kill him (healing powers, though he still needs the bullet removed later, Caitlin muttering rude words while the blue flames keep trying to heal Eddie mid-surgery, this is a pain in the butt) it does alter Eddie's future significantly enough that there's no chance of Eobard's specific ancestral line happening anymore. So Eobard still paradoxes out of existence right before Eddie spontaneously heals via flame.
Anyway, this is obviously endgame westhallen because I cannot resist throwing in a westhallen agenda here.

Kyle's Accident
Tumblr media
Pairing: Bruce x Reader Word count: 2,194 A/N: Okay, so I know that part of this one doesn't make complete sense with a previous chapter. I couldn't really figure out how to fix it once I noticed, and no one is really reading this anyway, so it's whatever.
Read on AO3
Part 9 of Without Me
Tumblr media
Later on, after your shower, the pair of you held each other close that night. “I hadn’t told my parents yet about the promise ring, just in case they ask.” Bruce said gently. 
You nodded. “Obviously I hadn’t told mine, either.” You teased in return.
He let out a breath. “True.” He chuckled. “They’ll just know I’m serious when they find out.” He wrapped his arm around your shoulder and kissed your temple.
“Me, too.” You squeezed him. “Think they’ll like each other?” You asked, trying to picture all four parents in the same room.
“No clue.” He laughed. “Guess we just have to wait and see.”
You grinned. “I can’t wait.” You giggled.
He kissed your nose. “Me either. It’ll be our families together and that means a shit ton.” 
Tumblr media
Finally, his parents were on their way. Nicole was sitting by you as you waited while Bruce chatted with your brother. You couldn't stop smiling as you watched them together. With that, you didn’t notice Nicole watching them with the same fondness. Her heart warmed at the sight. Maybe Bruce wasn't so bad after all.
You stood up quickly when the door the door rang, eager to greet them. “Hello, Martha.” you hugged her gently.
“Hello, sweetheart.” She smiled brightly. “I love the area you grew up in. It seems so peaceful.”
You beamed. “I’m glad.” You motioned inside. “Welcome to this crazy house.” You giggled. “Bruce is playing with my younger brother, Noah. Good luck getting his attention.”
She smiled. “I can’t wait to see that.” She stepped in quickly. “I always wanted to give him a sibling, but it just wasn't meant to be.”
“He’s great with him.” You assured happily. 
“Hello, Bruce!” Thomas chuckled, making your boyfriend jump.
“Jeez, Dad.” He placed a hand on his chest before standing. He smiled at his parents. “How was your drive?”
“Wonderful. We hadn’t been this way in quite some time.” Martha grinned. “Who is this lovely young lady?” She asked, motioning to Nicole.
Nicole stood and smiled instantly. “I’m Nicole, her sister.” She held out her hand. “It's nice to meet you.”
“Such pretty genetics in this family.” Martha praised. She noted how Nicole blushed. “Clearly with such beautiful parents.” She went to greet them excitedly. 
You chuckled as his parents instantly befriended yours. You moved to wrap your arms around his waist, kissing his shoulder. 
He rubbed your arms affectionately and grinned at the big hugs that were shared. He chuckled with he heard your mother’s voice. “Did you help Bruce pick out her ring? It’s beautiful!”
“Ring?” Thomas asked, glancing to you. “Are we getting a new daughter?” He asked.
Bruce was surprised at how calm he sounded at that. “Ah. Not yet, I guess. It’s a promise ring.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “That’s all.”
“Bruce!” Martha beamed. “So sweet!” She teared up. “Let me see what our boy gave you.”
You went over to her shyly, with a smile and your hand out. “I love it.” You told her. “I had only sent him out for food.” You chuckled.
“I didn’t know he was a romantic.” Thomas chuckled. “I guess the right woman will bring it out in any man.”
“Heck yeah.” Bruce agreed with a beam. “She's stuck with me.”
“Proudly.” You nodded. Kissing his cheek, you gave him a squeeze. 
All four of your parents beamed at the two of you. “Can you come back to playing, Bruce?” Your brother asked sweetly.
Bruce grinned at your brother. “Sure thing, bud.” He glanced at you. “Sorry, babe. Your brother calls.”
“Eh, I’ll get you after this week anyway.” You grinned. “Go play.”
Bruce ran over like a kid himself. Nicole went back to watching them while ‘playing’ on her phone. 
“Let’s get some drinks going.” Your mother led his parents to the kitchen. “Dinner should be done in about half an hour.” You heard her.
You went to go sit with Nicole. “What do you think?” You asked, wanting your sister’s thoughts.
“He’s sweet.” She said easily. “So, his parents are even sweeter of course.” She shrugged a shoulder. 
You nodded. “Approve?” You asked, hopeful.
She glanced over at Bruce and eyed in him thought. “Maybe.”
“Well, that’s better than a no.” You sighed. “What's your hang up?”
“He doesn’t seem like the settling down type. Even giving you a ring and all.” She explained. “Seems like he's just getting excited. And excitement doesn't last forever.”
You sagged. Her opinion meant most to you and you trusted it. It hurt, but Bruce seemed to have changed since you got together. You really felt that. You played with your ring, your eyes glancing at it.
Nicole stayed looking at Bruce, but to you that just meant she was criticizing him. You didn't see that it was something very different.
“Would you like some drinks, dears?” Martha walked in. She glanced at Nicole, and then her son, raising an eyebrow. “I see.” She said to herself before going to set a few soda cans on the coffee table. 
You glanced at her and gave her a smile. “Thank you.”
She nodded and glanced at your sister. Martha wanted to say something, but what? She was positive she saw what she saw, but she didn’t want to cause trouble. “Y/N? I forgot something in the car, walk with me? I'd like to hear some memories of your home.”
“I’d love to.” You agreed instantly, standing. “What would you like to hear?” 
Martha let out a breath as you walked out. “Tell me how close you are with your sister.” She glanced at you. 
You shrugged a shoulder. “We're sisters. Not best friends or anything, but we're close.” You told her easily.
“I see.” She nodded. “Do you have the same taste in men?”
You raised an eyebrow at her. “Rarely, but….” You sighed. “It has happened.” Not a nice memory, either.
She nodded. “I just know how ladies look at my son, and Nicole definitely was giving him some type of look.” She admitted. 
“Oh…”
She rubbed your back. “I don’t mean to cause trouble.”
You shook your head. “You're not, I promise. Just...old wounds.” You sighed. 
“I thought so.” She said sadly. “I know girls like her…” She sighed. 
“When I was 16, I was dating a guy a couple years older. I wouldn't sleep with him. Well, she would.” You explained.
She looked at you in sadness. “Bruce wouldn’t do that.” She told you gently.
“I know. I trust him.” You said confidently. “I love him. And he loves me.” You nodded. “It's more my faith in her that's shaken.” You looked at her. “Thank you.” You smiled sadly. “for telling me.”
She nodded. “Of course. I consider you family now.” 
Hearing that made you smile at her. “That means a lot.” You stopped to hug her. “Now, did you actually forget something in the car?” You teased.
She laughed. “I did not. My memory isn’t that bad yet. Though I say that now.” She teased back. “I’ll just say that I wanted some time with you for a moment. How would you like to have a girl’s day tomorrow? You, me, your mother, and your sister?” She seemed excited. While she was displeased with your sister, she wasn’t one to leave her out. 
“I’m sure we’d all enjoy that.” You nodded instantly. “My mom doesn’t get out much since we’re not here.” You told her.
She nodded. “And I’d love to have some girls around. These Wayne men.” She shook her head with a grin. “Man children!” She laughed.
“Like when Bruce had a small cold and it was the end of the world.” You shook your head. “It was insane. And then, boom! He was hyper!”
She laughed further. “He’s always been like that.” She told you. “Be glad you weren't there for the chicken pox!”
You facepalmed. “I could only imagine. Was he a cry baby?” You teased. 
“At times, and then at times he would deny anything was wrong. He broke his arm as a child, and tried to tell Alfred he was fine.” She said as she fondly recalled her son’s childhood.
You snorted. “I can picture that.” You grinned. “I can't wait to meet Alfred.”
“He will adore you.” She nodded. “I just know it.”
“I’d like to see how he’d keep Bruce in line.” You chuckled. “He sounds like an awesome uncle.”
“That does fit his description.” She chuckled. “He is like family. He's off visiting his niece at the moment.”
“He seems like he’d need a vacation when dealing with Bruce.” You giggled, following her back. 
Bruce looked up, smiling. “Was starting to miss you.” He smirked. “Did mom get what she forgot?”
“I did. Can’t forget to take my medicine!” She grinned, ruffling her son’s hair as she went to return to the kitchen. 
You leaned against the nearest wall, watching Bruce with pure love. When he winked at you, you shook your head with a grin. “Talk and after dinner walk with me later?”
“Sure, babe.” He agreed easily. “Wanna see the LEGO house I made?” He lit up at the question.
“A big kid is what you are.” You said fondly, but went over eagerly to see his build. “Are you gonna want your own Legos now?” 
“I already have some in my cart online.” He teased. “Hope you like Lego decor for the living room.”
You snorted. “We’d break it!” You told him.
He gasped. “No! We would put them up high so no paws or small hands can get to them!”
You raised your eyebrows. “Oh, and where would these paws and small hands come from?”
Bruce shrugged playfully, and went back to playing. He was instantly emerged in more LEGO building. 
“Kids, dinner!” Came your dad's voice moments later.
You blinked and followed your brother as he got up excitedly. What was on your boyfriend's mind? It seemed he got shy whenever you pressed. You'd mention it later.
“You can sit here.” Nicole told Bruce, motioning beside her. 
Licking your lips, you shook your head. “I was hoping to sit next to you. How often do we get together?”
Nicole shot you a look. You instantly shot one back and went to sit down triumphantly. Martha had a smirk on her face for a split second. “Why’re you being rude?” Nicole whispered at you. 
“I'm not the one eyeing my sister's boyfriend.” You hissed.
She gasped, looking offended. “I wouldn’t.” She defended.
You scoffed and rolled your eyes. “Whatever.” You muttered.
“Girls?” Your mother asked worriedly. “Everything okay?”
You gave her a forced smile. “Just sister stuff, mom.”
She nodded. “Well, alright.” She looked skeptical. 
Bruce looked between the pair of you, curious. He kissed your hand when you rubbed his shoulder. When you smiled at him, he smiled loving in return. With that, both your parents relaxed. Nicole let out a small huff and turned her attention to the food.
Tumblr media
Bruce smiled as he helped with the dishes, eager for your evening walk. But first, he had offered for you and him to do the dishes so all the parents could relax.
You flicked some bubbles at him as he dried and kept your face innocent. He reached over, wiping bubbles on your cheek, making you look at him in feigned shock. He shrugged with a boyish grin. “Are you saying I'm dirty?” You asked.
“Not the kind that can be cleaned.” He grinned. 
Laughing, you leaned over and picked his lips. “You’re funny.” You patted his chest. “And all mine.” You beamed proudly.
“You bet I am.” He kissed your nose. “Proud of it, too.”
You smirked. “How proud?” Dishes were now on the back burner.
He hummed, smirking as he thought. “Well, I really want you to become a Wayne one day.” He said happily. “And...I want you know...other Waynes.” He mumbled shyly. 
You bit your lip, moving closer. “Yeah?”
He nodded, blush dusting his cheeks. “Yeah.”
Wrapping your arms around him, you kissed his cheek. “Well, my answer would be yes, and for the second...one day.”
He brightened and squeezed you tightly. “Happy to hear that.” He sounded thrilled. “One day sounds good.” He pecked your lips. “Walk time?” He asked, hopefully. 
You intertwined your fingers with his. “I’d love to.” You agreed, feeling at ease with him.
“Sweet.” He grinned dorkily and tugged you along. 
“We'll be back, guys!” You told the parents as you passed through the living room.
“Have fun!” Your mother grinned. 
“No eloping!” Martha teased.
“They don’t have hours this week, I checked!” Bruce teased back. 
Tumblr media
When the pair of you shuffled back in, everyone’s faces fell. “Dear?” Martha got up, looking between you and her son.
You looked up at her. "Kyle was in an accident. He didn't make it."
Your mother instantly went pale. “Oh, sweetie.” She brought you into a hug, tearing up. “I’m so sorry.” 
Bruce moved to hug the pair of you, as well. “His funeral is tomorrow.” He breathed, the two of you were still trying to grasp that he was gone.

Time to write about what's gonna happen with Alastor! Yay!
No pictures this time because tumblr hates me and doesn't want me to. :(
Spoilers I think maybe-
So we all know Alastor made a deal and the general consensus is that it's with Lilith, poor boi. I genuinely thought she was doing something actually important, not chilling on a beach but that's funny. Anyway-
Now there are several outcomes to this, and I'm gonna talk about what I'd like to see because who doesn't do that when they wake up early in the morning and can't sleep for some reason??
So I've seen plsnty of theories that Alastor will be set free and then kinda go off since he's got his full powers again, and personally, I don't think that's how it'll go. I have no reason not to believe this, I just don't. That's okay, though. No one knows what's gonna happen and if I'm wrong, I'll look silly later, which would be funny.
Anyway I think it'll probably go a bit differently. I think Alastor will end up betraying the hotel, but not because he wants to. The season ended with Lute telling Lilith to get her daughter to stop (I'm not sure if she's refwring to the hotel entirely or just the uprising but we'll find out, I'm sure), and if the theory that she's the one with Alastor's soul is correct, why would she go down there to do it?
Why wouldn't she have Alastor do it for her? She doesn't wanna face her family, clearly, so why would she do so just to tell Charlie not to annoy heaven anymore? She's already got Alastor there and no doubt knows her daughter well enough to know that she'd likely befriend him (at least one-sidedly), so she'll probably have him either try to convince Charlie not to uprise again or that the hotel is pointless.
Now that being said- What I want specifically is to see Alastor react to and handle these orders. He'd 100% try to tell himself he's fine with that but no one can deny he's gotten attached to the hotel and it's staff. I wanna see him have some sort of breakdown trying to sort out why doing something like this is bothering him so much.
Now we all know that despite whatever happens, Alastor will probably be fine in the end and side with Charlie, but that's the direction I hope they take with it. I can see Alastor getting out of his deal and just chilling at the hotel and when asked why, he simply says he's use to it or something.
Now for random thoughts!
If Alastor does end up going off after getting out of his deal and ditching the hotel for a bit, I'd like to see Charlie talk to Rosie about it. I wanna see what she'd do.
I wanna see Alastor have another breakdown of some kind over his deal and Charlie sees this or something to that affect.
I wanna see how/if the his deal will get revealed to the others and how Charlie specifically would react. That's her mother controlling her friend, she wouldn't be thrilled.
I know this is like- beyond unlikely- But I wanna see Lilith come down and reveal the deal to her/the others. I doubt Alastor would be very willing to do so. Who knows, maybe he refuses to follow orders when it comes to screwing over the hotel because Lilith isn't keeping an eye on him so she has to go down there or something?? Idk, but it'd be fun.
I'm willing to bet there will be a confrontation between Charlie and her mom at some point.
I wanna see Charlie end up crying or breaking down or something about Alastor suddenly trying to ruin what she's doing and he has to just sort of deal with that. He can't risk her kicking him out or anything and he's no doubt figured out what he can and can't do to avoid punishment from her.
I think that's all uh- See ya!
If this doesn't make sense, it's because I'm tired af lmao, I'm gonna try to sleep.

Ken just wanted to visit his sister...
So I was thinking how nice it would have been to have an episode where Ken visits Gwen at Friedkin. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised how utterly bizarre and bewildering that visit would be. Gwen and Kevin are showing Ken around and introducing him to people and it just keeps getting weirder and weirder, just imagine:
Because first up you've got Zed, Kevin's alien dog who used to be one of Ben's enemies. Then you've got Professor Hex who used to be one of Gwen's enemies.
Depending on what was supposed to happen after 'The Most Dangerous Game Show,' it's highly likely that Charmcaster is still at Friedkin, who of course was Gwen's number 1 enemy. If this was a couple months later, then maybe Gwen has succeeded in befriending her and helping her change her life for the better. Or if Charmcaster hasn't quite changed yet, then she'd either still be trapped in her bag, or possibly be allowed out of it for some freedom but with a spell on her to stop her using her magic so she couldn't harm anyone (like the spell Gwen put on Darkstar) and either way this is going to look majorly weird.
Then there's Professor Xagliv 'The Art History Professor of Death' who isn't actually an enemy, but was once mistaken for one of Ben's old enemies (Vilgax)
There's also Professor Aniceto from the drama department, who for some reason was stealing plutonium and ended up fighting Lucky Girl.
Ken: The eyes on that painting keep following me..
Kevin: Yeah they do that, don't stare at them too long or they might try to steal your soul
And Kevin's only half-joking because no ones really sure why the paintings do that and knowing Friedkin University it's possible they're actually haunted or cursed.
The guy who sells sandwiches isn't evil (as far as we know) but gives off a really ominous vibe.
They walk past a group of students and Ken asks his sister why some of them are wearing dark robes; "Are they part of a D&D club?" And they explain that no, actually they used to be part of a cult that worshiped this guy who's still Gwen's enemy (Darkstar)
Kevin: Don't worry, we beat him and he doesn't go here anymore. We don't really know what those kids do anymore but they haven't caused anymore trouble so it's cool I guess.
Ken: Wait that guy used to go here?
And they're walking around showing Ken the buildings and he points at one.
Ken: That looks new, is the University expanding?
Gwen: No that's just repair work from when Charmcaster sliced the building in half when we fought once. And that new archway over there was built after she destroyed the last one when she turned into a dragon.
Ken: ...
Kevin, grumbling: And over there is where she made my car vanish.
By the time they run into Bezel, Ken's just like "let me guess, he used to be one of your enemies too?" And Gwen tells him "actually, no! He is however the most powerful sorcerer in the universe." And right on cue, Bezel pulls out a deck of cards (that are clearly facing the wrong way) brandishes them at Ken, and gleefully asks him to pick one.
Other than the DNAlien incident, it's probably the weirdest visit Ken's ever done (but thankfully far less traumatizing)

HELLO I'm so normal about my guys. Here's a post going into detail about Ira and Edith's relationship! This includes how Volkaire ruins it
NOTE: when I call Edith a republican, I mean this definition of the word:
"an advocate of republican government.
"those who favored the continuance of the republic made every effort to defeat the monarchists and to have republicans elected in their places""
(source: google dictionary, third definition)
I am NOT referring to the modern US American meaning of the word. I would beat you senseless if you implied for even a second that Edith supported the republican party.
Ira and Edith have vaguely each other for about 15 years but have only been friends for the last 11 or so.
Edith has always been aware of Ira's close friendship with the emperor but didn't really have a problem with it because, A, Volkaire used to be more normal and, B, Volkaire was only a prince when he befriended Ira.
Now, it upsets Edith a lot and they've drifted apart a bit. Ira feels that he cares more about Volkaire but it's clearly a sort of one sided friendship because Ira cares about him deeply but Volkaire only uses and manipulates Ira for selfish goals.
Had Edith and Ira become friends when they first met, Ira wouldn't be a royalist at all.
I think with them drifting apart, there isn't really anyone to blame but Volkaire. Ira was never taught any better and obviously cannot recognize that he is being manipulated. Edith didn't know how badly Volkaire was treating Ira until it was too late to try suggest he stops hanging out with Volkaire.
They've only been drifting apart for the last year though because Volkaire has only been emperor for about 18 months at this point. There's a good 10 years where they're very good and close friends.
Judgement I / pre canon
Honestly I kinda wanna say they were in a qpr for the second half of those 10 years. You just KNOW Edith reads over paperwork while Ira naps on her lap like a cat. This makes Volkaire basically tearing them apart much worse. They meant everything to each other for a while there and then that stupid asshole Volkaire ruined it :( they're my characters though, I'm having fun hurting them :3 anything to make Edith's death more sad amirite. Also now as I'm writing this post I've decided Edith is aroace
Judgement II / during the story
By the time Edith gets arrested, Ira does feel a little bit weird about her. He still absolutely loves her but he's worried about her because he thinks she's gone mad. She keeps telling him about her republican ideas but he's firmly a royalist
Ira doesn't think Edith should have been sent to prison. This is also kinda when Ira starts doubting Volkaire, just a little bit.
"Edith only spoke out against you. Yes it's rude and none of what she said was true, but she didn't physically hurt or harass anyone so she committed no crime."
"Is it not wrong to speak against your fellow man? Is that no longer a crime crime? Or am I different? Is it suddenly okay to slander me because I am the emperor?"
You get the idea.
Edith, on the other hand, just feels very frustrated. She wants to be with her dear friend/partner/??? Ira but the emperor keeps them apart and she's frustrated and upset because she knows that Volkaire is using Ira but she can't tell him or even imply it without Ira getting upset. It's just a very sad situation.
Judgement III / end
By the last few chapters, they've almost completely drifted apart. They've talked twice since Edith was arrested but argued both times. They've communicated a bit these last few weeks, but very indirectly. It would all happen through a messenger, they'd either repeat what the other wanted to convey or hand over a letter. The letters were always very impersonal and professional.
After this when they begin the march on the mountains, they still can't talk. Ira desperately wants to see Edith but she doesn't want to. Finally, the day before the battle, Edith agrees to see him for a bit.
They talk about the weather and battle strategy. It's been so long and the upcoming battle have them both on edge so neither really knows what to say. At the end, Edith finally breaks and tells Ira she missed him. She says she's excited to spend time with him again after the battle. Since the arrest, Edith hasn't talked much to her family. She invites Ira to come with her when she talks to her parents and he agrees.
Actually the interaction doesn't end like that, I changed my mind. They do battle planning with the rest of the group and afterwards then Edith pulls Ira aside. The conversation starts really impersonal but Edith breaks and talks about how much she's missed him. They talk and talk for hours and catch up. They cuddle and fall asleep together.
Next morning they'd probably be inseparable, they've missed each other and want to be together again. They're not even remotely close to each other during the battle due to the formation so they split up around noon and promise to spend a quiet, uneventful month together when they have time.
After the battle, everyone is searching the battlefield for corpses. Ira is probably walking around with Elijah and Mila, crying tears of joy because it's all over and they're free. He sees Edith's corpse in the mud and immediately freezes. She's pale, clearly been dead for at least an hour. Her body's been trampled on too, people kept running back and forth and did not have time to look at what they stepped on. No one had seen her when she was shot. The arrow that killed her wasn't even on a part of her body that would have been an instant or even quick death. Had she just gotten medical attention, she could have easily survived. Instead, she bled out on a muddy plateau, hundreds of kilometers from her home and with no one to even watch as she drew her final breath.
Ira stayed in the capital for a few months for Edith's funeral and to talk to her friends and family but left the first chance he got. The plan was that he would be part of the new government that was to rise from the ashes of the old monarchy, but he changed his mind and went to the countryside to go back to a life of farming, similar to the one that was laid out for him when he was a kid. Ira isn't very much without Edith.

First obnoxious OC post coming in hot (and dedicated to @sadetanssija, for your reading pleasure when you have time my dear) is the one and only: Phora. My love, my heart, my murder child.
Tumblr media
This is going to be so long I am not sorry.
As I've mentioned previously, Phora is pretty much how I befriended my fiancé(e). I went to start RPing in the elder scrolls online after dropping out of the swtor RP community for like a year, rolled up my little street urchin that I had vaguely conceived of in Skyrim, and started putting her in situations. As one does. One of those first Situations I tried to put her in wound up being completely ignored by everyone both IC and OOC because everyone had gotten drunk (both IC and OOC, we were in voice chat). Everyone, that is, except one character and one person. Enter Forvyth Deravyn, and enter Ray. We fast became best friends after that, this was sometime in 2015, and we've not stopped writing together since.
So our journey begins in High Rock with my scrawny, malnourished little street urchin, 16 years old, stealing some money off of some drunk Imperial soldiers. Particularly the Centurion. As I said, none of them notice. Except the Centurion's Dunmer accountant. So Phora runs off, thinking she's gotten away with her really rather subpar pickpocketing, to use the money to buy the first warm meal she's had in a while. But before she can get far, she is cornered by this intimidating looking man with bright red eyes.
She's fucked, she thinks. This guy caught her. He's going to turn her in to the guards, or to the soldiers, and who knew what would happen then. She'd never been caught before, never been quite that bold before. Only he doesn't turn her in. He pulls her aside, chides her for relying on something like pickpocketing when she clearly doesn't have the talent for it, and offers her help. He didn't care that she'd stolen from Tyrrean Vanarius. He'd stolen from Tyrrean Vanarius. (Honestly, to this day we joke about how stealing from Tyrrean Vanarius was a rite of passage in the ESO EU RP community. He's very robbable.) But if she was going to steal, she should do better. Take things less easily missed, more easily misplaced, and be more cautious about it. In the future she was to bring those things to him, and he would pay her for them. Much safer for her, and much more stable than anything she'd had in her life. She agreed to try this, got her warm meal, and scampered off into the night. They do this little song and dance for a time. Phora collects small things people won't search for and brings them to Forvyth, Forvyth gives her a little money. Eventually Forvyth starts feeling like a real friend, the first person in the world to take a moment and show her some kindness, to help her. She hangs around him even when there is nothing for them to trade. At this point Ray informs me that if I want to, they have a really interesting plot we could take Phora down with Forvyth, but it will be rough. It will be sad. There's more to this than it seems. I of course say fuck yes. Thus begins the whirlwind story of Forvyth and Phora, to this day my favorite RP duo.
After a while Forvyth begins to "open up" to Phora. One day he comes to her and tells her the story of the lucky old lady and her children, and their god. This god, he explains, is the reason he has a family, and if she wanted, Phora could be part of that family too. A family was all Phora had ever wanted, with all of her being. She did not want to be alone. She wanted to belong and be loved. So, despite what would be asked of her, she agreed. The way Forvyth explained it had made it sound almost understandable. Sithis was their father, after all, and a father that missed his children. He only asked that some be returned to him sooner. She went with him, did what was asked of her, and joined the Dark Brotherhood. As a result, publicly, Forvyth basically adopted her and she went to live with him in his home in Wayrest.
It never fully sat right with her, but the Brotherhood gave her what she'd been desperate for all her life. Now she had friends, had a family, had a home. She convinced herself, deluded herself, that murdering people for the Dark Brotherhood was excusable, acceptable, because it was for Sithis, and he was god, and she was just sending their souls home. But it didn't stop her from asking questions of her new brothers and sisters, like what happens to the people we send to the Void? Are they happy? Are they at peace, at home? They never had satisfying answers for her.

Forvyth was different in the Sanctuary. Colder, quieter. Not the man she thought she knew. When he requested to personally train her, the others were shocked he'd even spoken. But train her he did, and over time she became a fairly good assassin, and despite everything, grew to see Forvyth truly as her father. He taught her more than to kill. Taught her to read and write. To act, to put on a front. Some of it he taught unintentionally. In the end, despite this big family she'd sold her soul to gain, only he ever really felt like it. Even with him now colder and more distant, she loved him. She'd do anything for him. Which was why she felt so abandoned, so lost, when one day while she was out on a contract he disappeared. She returned to an empty home and a letter explaining his absence. Apologizing.
My Dear Daughter Phora. His intentions all along had been to destroy the Brotherhood, and he'd wanted help. An ally inside. That was what she'd been meant to be, that was all, but he couldn't do it to her. It was too late for him, but she could still leave and live the life he could not. Wherever life may take you next, may it be a brighter place than here.

Only it was too late for her too. He was her family. Her only family. If he did this, they'd kill him, and she couldn't let that happen. She stayed as long as she could, hoping to find him before the Brotherhood could, or at the very least to be there when he struck and help him. But they knew he was a traitor, and as much as she played at feeling betrayed by him too, she knew they suspected her. How could they not? Eventually she ran.
Now here is where things begin to change, due to the nature of ever shifting MMO RP. The original plan was for Forvyth to die (Ray basically made him to be a boss), I figured Phora would die with him, or not long after, and that would be that. But like, we got attached, the group we were doing DB RP with partly fizzled out, so we kept them, and we changed things.
Forvyth tried to stay away for Phora's good, but he couldn't, and Phora wouldn't have let him. He would come back and then leave, and she would search for him. This took place over years. He would try to protect her from afar, feeling guilty for doing to her basically what had been done to him. When he was gone she ended up in other Situations, found new friends. One was a vigilante who taught her to be more than an assassin, how to truly fight, and defend others so she might be able to help her father like she wanted. When they parted ways she ended up working on a ship for a while, with some Totally Not Pirates, and found herself back in the Brotherhood's sights while there. She always tried to find that feeling of family, tried at least once to do what Forvyth asked and leave him behind. She came close, made friends that she loves very dearly, but she's never found family anywhere but with him. They would, both of them, do absolutely anything for each other.

We have since stopped doing MMO RP, but we still do Elder Scrolls RP exclusively with each other. We just have our own little Tamriel in our pockets where we write whatever the fuck we want and in it these two are together again. Phora's determined to see it stay that way this time and Forvyth is finally beginning to accept that pushing her away doesn't make her safer, and it doesn't make him feel better. He can't take back turning her into this, and without him she might have been dead anyway. They have a dysfunctional little family with Forvyth's "friend" (he doesn't really do friends) Drahyr/Dryra, and a small pool of allies, but importantly they have each other and they will keep fighting until they succeed or the Brotherhood kills them.
Phora is, as one might expect, intensely and fiercely loyal, but only to a select few. Once upon a time she was a bit of a prankster, though she's partially lost sight of that in the face of all that has happened to her. It's still in there though, deep down. She also does not share food. She's been food insecure most of her life so if she shares her food with you she likes and trusts you.
There she is, my favoritest little murder child and the reason I am so attached to the "reluctant guy adopts scruffy kid and becomes the shittest dad" trope. Forvyth and Phora reign supreme in my heart forever. This is also how I was generally introduced to Elder Scrolls lore properly, I'd never fully played any of the games and so Ray showed me the world through the Dark Brotherhood of all things so I am hilariously attached to the murder cult.
