🐺 Volkov

As the longtime leader of the Moonwood Collective, disciplined Kristopher has saved many displaced werewolves including the once half-feral Lily & lost Jacob (who bears the same calm, intense soul as his adoptive father). After Kristopher's wild-hearted adopted child Rory separated to run her own pack, he & the herbalist Lily have been guiding Jacob to become a strong, self-sufficient leader for the Collective in his wake. How will sociable Jacob lead the pack?

Kristopher Volkov

The unofficial mayor of Moonwood Mill and leader of the Moonwood Collective, a werewolf pack that believes in self control in the face of fury-based urges. To honor his mother, he wishes to see her self-sufficient community continue to thrive under his adopted son Jacob. While supportive of his other adopted child Rory, he fears that she will cross a line. Beside balancing books and acting as a spokesperson, he finds joy in making kombucha and fulfilling orders as a reliable freelance craftsman.

Jacob Volkov

A friendly young pacifist who takes his future role as pack leader seriously but is feeling the mounting pressure. His unwavering loyalty to the man who saved him motivates him to work toward 'the best version' of himself, but sometimes he feels like an imposter putting on an act. While creating meals in the kitchen is his passion, he finds his vegetarian cooking at odds with the other werewolves' dietary preferences. He's grateful to have Lily who shares her knowledge of the forest's bounty.

Lily Zhu

A cheery but jumpy herbalist who distributes various remedies, including the werebies cure. Since Kristopher guided her away from nearly becoming fully feral, Lily uses her close connection with the earth to forage and create mixtures. Even though her achy body has been alive for many years past her time, she does not cure her own lycanthropy in hopes to have time to rekindle the childhood bond she had with her cousins. In the meantime, she adores cooking with Jacob and caring for the locals.

how different marauders characters would act at a taylor swift concert w/ you ⭑

inspired by this post by the lovely @bealovesmarauders

(0.7k)

remus knows her discography by heart. he was originally a little insecure to sing the whole time, but he can’t help but sing along when you look so cute dancing and screaming the words to each song. he probably would’ve been the one to buy tickets after you came to terms with your chances of getting them being so slim, so when he surprised you with them you were over the moon. he would’ve gotten you two lower bowl seats so you would be really close but also able to see every single visual. he also would’ve offered to stand and wait in the merch line during the openers and before the concert started so you could have fun and watch them and have a cute t-shirt to take home.

james “swiftie” potter would be going absolutely feral. he would’ve gotten floor seats that were at least in the first ten rows so he could feel everything. he would’ve made a huge ordeal about surprising you with the tickets. i just know he would take you out to a fancy brunch before you guys got ready for the concert. he would probably want you two to go as miss americana and the heartbreak prince and people would definitely use your pictures as inspo for their shows. i also think he’d be the type to propose during lover or love story if you were at that point in the relationship. he would’ve been all cute about it too and told everyone around you so they could film and take pictures for you guys during the moment. he would also make a show of carrying you back to your car after the concert, even if your feet didn’t hurt that bad from the extremely uncomfortable shoes you inevitably would wear.

oh, sirius. i feel like he’s a total music snob and was really only going originally because you were so excited about it. but then he gets to the concert and he’s awestruck. he would’ve gone insane during the beat drop in don’t blame me but also prob would’ve teared up during my tears ricochet. he would’ve loved every moment of it and would immediately regret not learning all her songs before the concert. i think he’d be so obsessed that the minute he got home he would’ve gone online and bought you two more tickets for either the second night in your city or the next closest show. he’d also probably make you explain all the lore and stories behind everything on the way home. you just know that next time, he will be so prepared he will outshine every other swiftie boyfriend in the crowd. he’s also a rep girly.

lily is a swiftie through and through. there’s not doubt in my mind that she’s not an evermore and lover girly. she would’ve fought hard for those tickets and she would be so proud when she surprised you with them. you and her would spend so much time picking out the perfect themed outfits for the night and would definitely end up in a few of those “my fav outfits i saw at the era’s tour!” videos. she definitely has a note in her notes app where she keeps track of all the surprise songs and which ones she wants (she was heartbroken after dbatc and clean were taken in the same night, but she also knows that there’s not a single song that she’d be disappointed in getting). it honestly doesn’t matter where your seats are because no matter what you two will be having so much fun it won’t even matter in the end.

regulus, unlike sirius, actually prepared for the concert. he was definitely doing his research before hand. he was never a big taylor swift fan before, but when he saw your eyes light up when you told him you got tickets, he knew he had to be ready. he spent months listening to each album one by one, making playlists, attempting to learn words, and maybe even looking into the meaning behind the songs. he may get a little too caught up in connecting each song to one of her relationships and prob would wear and “i <3 T. S.” shirt to the concert. like james, he would’ve offered to carry you out of the arena, but unlike james, he would’ve listened to you saying no and would’ve been content simply holding your shoes in one hand and your hand in the other.

Silk Song RAMBLE.

I have a really hard time containing my excitement so

SPOILERS FOR SILKSONG! do not read anymore of this if you want to go into silksong spoiler free!

OK BUT LIKE- The updated HK wiki was a thing today and I went and looked at the silksong part of it. and OH MY GOD- I know most of these things already but everything about silksong makes me just so excited- silksong has a lot of things that I love and adore already and team cherry really just picked up everything I love and put it into one game, which makes me literally wanna jump around my room cuz I'm so happy

Ok rambling about things now

Up first moss grotto:

THIS PLACE MAKES ME SO HAPPY. I love moss, and I love lily pads. I love EVERYTHING about this place! I love the atmosphere of it and the feeling it gives off. It feels very comforting in an odd way, with all the moss and plants mixed with what I assume to be bones makes a really comforting place. The enemies shown here are also really really cute, I just wanna hug them, they look like they'd be soft. Something about moss grotto makes it seem like the perfect place to come sit and stay if you needed some alone time, I know that sounds weird but it's the best way I can describe it- Random but in the nintendo treehouse live from forever ago you could see the shell shards ROLL on the ground! and when Hornet walks on the moss it actually looks like she's walking on it! I bring this up because of how cool but more, real feeling? It makes everything feel. The fact that the currency and the shell shards roll on the ground gives it more gravity and just- overall a very cool feel to what it would be like to, idk, hold it? Geo in Hollow Knight kinda bounces around so it's like, not as realistic idk man- Another thing is Hornet, she seems to have more gravity to her, she can't jump as high or walk/run as fast as the knight did making her almost feel, heavier. She seems like she's much heavier than Ghost was

Next up, Deep docks: (the second one is my PC's wallpaper lol)

Deep docks feels very, hot, for obvious reason. Something about deep docks aesthetic is just SO COOL. I'm writing this part from memory of the treehouse live so if I'm wrong about stuff, sorry I love the rocks and bones in Deep docks, actually I love the amount of bones in most of the screenshots and trailer things I've seen- so cool, but also in deep docks it's really cool to see the bones, rocks, magma, and machinery all mixed together I really love Lace's arena, if you look in the background you can see some moss vines (?) hanging down so that makes me think It's really close to moss grotto, but it also gives her arena a more of an overgrown feel, which is really nice ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT LACE'S CRAZY AIR ATTACK?? That attack is probably my favorite out of all her moves, the way she comes back down to the ground and shakes the whole place is SO COOL- she's definitely gonna be a hard boss for me to beat but DAMN she's gonna be a fun boss Also the fact that Hornet and Lace are just fighting above flowing magma like it's nothing is badass The Citadel:

HOLY SHIT?? THERE'S SO MUCH I CAN TALK ABOUT WITH THIS ONE SCREENSHOT. The way the floor is makes the room feel very omen and very big. The room also feels old, and dusty- What seems to be torn cloths and curtains around the place makes it seem like that place has been there for a very long time. I assume and guess the Citadel is doing to play a very big and important role in the story of this game, and in the lore of Pharloom. Idk who this warrior is but he seems cool, two swords and everything. There isn't much footage of the Citadel at all which makes me a little upset because this place seems just so, so grand, so big, so IMPORTANT. I also don't know why but the colors make it feel royal. This- Place:

I'd live here, saying that right now, I'd live here. I'd find a cozy little bell to live in and stay there forever. I know the guy to the right of Hornet is singing so maybe this is a safe space in Pharloom? I would think it to be like how dirtmouth is, shops but also a calm place to be after fighting for your life for the millionth time. It's really cool how bells have been turned into homes, It's a really cool touch to this place and it makes it feel really cozy. I think the bell homes would be hanging from the ceiling, cavern roof, whatever you wanna call it- And the bug either fly or climb ladders to get into the bell houses! This place just radiates safe, and homey- once again, I will find a bell and make it my home.

This:

Not much to say about it because I know so little about it, but the fact that Hornet is fighting what I assume is I giant robot bug? omg, Also it looks like it's rusting so is it not affected by the magma but affected by something else? Or is that just weird red plants, Idk

Coral Place:

THERE. ARE. FISH. This place feeds my internal love of pirates, and anything ocean. The coral looks so alive and this place seems like it's gonna have cool stuff in it

PLEASE TELL ME THIS GUYS IS A PIRATE OR SOMETHING- He looks like a pirate, I'm not the only one who think that right? Like, a knight pirate This arena feels very small and, humid. Probably because it is either underwater or close to water. it seems really misty in there. The fact that the lanterns are held with coral, vine, things is so cool- Also there's pipes in the background! Maybe those are connected to something? I'm not trying to theorize everything I just think the possibilities are cool- I'mma call this the swamp place:

This looks like a swamp, what kind? an eerie one. It almost looks like there's ash in the air! Also the vine things in the back? so cool, the more faded they get makes this area feel very misty or foggy, which gives it a feeling of, idk, eeriness? spooky? The guy here looks like he's using a fishing pole as a weapon- which makes sense given the amount of water. The grass and, I forgot what those are called. SWAMP REEDS- are really big so it makes this place feel WAY bigger, or hornet way smaller. Not sure but I can't wait to explore this place and Probably get lost along the way.

GEARS:

I don't know what this place is, what it's for, but it feels almost steampunk so that's an automatic love from me. Also love these little flying guys, they're really cute and yeah- The gears are also super cool! It almost looks like she's inside a clock :0 This place feels warm but not, dry or humid. Just warm, a comfy warm

This section is just stuff I wanna ramble about/add so:

Cutely going insane over the fact that this place is probably a Giant rib cage

THIS PLACE. IDK WHAT IT IS OR WHAT IT'LL DO BUT I LOVE IT. JUST LOOK AT THAT BACKGROUND- Like, the 'sky' looks blue. ARE WE OUTSIDE? omg- I also love all the building in the back I just OMGOMG- It also looks like there's giant pipes, maybe it's close to the Citadel? Idk but this place makes me feel so happy I just wanna stare at it, I WANNA EXPLORE-

If you've made it this far thanks- This was the only place I could actually let out my excitement over a game that's not even out yet so- yeah- If you have any questions about stuff I rambled about or said then feel free to put something in my inbox about it so, yeah-

Doctor Who: The Ultimate Speedrun Marathon - Series 1 (2005)

Eccleston as the 9th Doctor seems to be a big fan favorite, including among my Whovian friends, so I was especially excited to start his era. Needless to say, I was very impressed! This series really brought Doctor Who out of its ‘80s era funk and into the modern age, so its importance deserves the praise, which I’m about to give in truckloads.

General Thoughts

Right out the gate, Christopher Eccleston was the perfect actor to take on the role! From what I’d heard of the 9th Doctor before watching this series, I assumed he’d be very serious, edgy, and overall just a grimdark take on Doctor Who. The early 2000s was ripe with franchises and reboots like that, so I was pleasantly surprised to see just how three-dimensional he was! I was mainly familiar with Eccleston from the 2010 TV movie Lennon Naked, which he was fucking awful in, so to see him so perfectly embody the Doctor gave me whiplash ngl. He does have darkness in him, which comes out in relation to his Time War PTSD and his hatred of the Daleks, but he’s also really lively and snarky in most moments. Such a great character all around! If Paul McGann makes you fall in love with the Doctor’s personality, Eccleston makes you understand it.

I assume the tragic backstory 9 mentions throughout this series (regarding the Time War, the destruction of Gallifrey, and him being the last of the Time Lords) was a retcon made for this series in particular, since the 8th Doctor was on his way back to Gallifrey at the beginning of the ‘96 TV movie. Maybe he was just visiting the rubble idk. I could be wrong, but I include this just to mention that I assume lore retcons will probably be rampant from here forward, so I’m cool with that.

Moving onto this Doctor’s companion, there’s a few. The main one we follow is 19 year old Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper. I was familiar with Piper as Brona/Lily in Penny Dreadful, which she was great in, so it was cool to see her again in a very different role. Rose starts out really wayward and flat, but over the course of the series and her adventures with the Doctor, she grows more involved with the world and becomes happier as a person. It’s a cool development that really cuts to the core of what the Doctor represents as a traveler and explorer of all things exciting and hopeful. Dr. Grace Holloway gives her a run for her money as my favorite companion so far, but Rose is really interesting and overall just a great human protagonist for us to tag along with.

Along with her, there’s also Mickey (Ricky?) Smith, played by Noel Clarke, and Captain Jack Harkness, played by John Barrowman. With Mickey, I assumed he’d just be a throwaway character, as a teenage boyfriend Rose leaves behind for good to move onto greater things, but he comes back again and again, with a lot of development that really surprised me! He grows from a pretty flat and lame guy into a character with a lot of agency and intelligence. His angst over Rose leaving him for time/space adventures was also really sad :( I felt bad for him honestly, but he grows beyond his need for Rose and comes into his own right

Captain Jack was really fun too. Reminded me a lot of Firefly. I expected him to be one-off character too, but he sticks around and is really fun to follow. It’s cool to have another snarky space/time adventurer around for a little bit. He’s also a bi king so that’s dope as fuck

Back to the 9th Doctor himself, I really liked the parallels drawn between him and the Daleks. This might just be a coincidence, but I think the interior walls of his TARDIS look a lot like the outer shell of the Daleks. Just thought that was a cool detail.

Speaking of his TARDIS in general, the more industrial look contrasts with the 7th & 8th Doctor’s warm homely TARDIS. The spindly concrete pillars and the shiny metal walls/floor are really striking. It’s like a modern-art exhibit. It’s both very 2000s and very classic looking.

Favorite Episodes

Aliens of London

World War 3

The Empty Child

The Doctor Dances

Dalek

The End of The World

Favorite Moments

“You would make a good Dalek”….. omg chills

Rose being there for her father’s death was really sad and moving. That whole episode was great, but that last moment was especially effective

“Kill yourself.” lol

Charles Dickens having his own sort of Scrooge-esque arc was really nice. A bit sad knowing that he would die a year after the episode is set, but still bittersweet and nice.

The Doctor’s joy after realizing everyone finally gets to walk away okay in episode 10 was great! It’s an amazingly emotional moment for someone who’s gone through so much loss and grief, and Eccleston plays it perfectly. Everyone lives!!!

Rose getting super glowy TARDIS powers was cool as hell for her development into a hero in her own right, as well as being dope as fuck overall. I’m gonna assume/headcanon that the “Heart of the TARDIS” that appears in the finale is the same as the Eye of Harmony that appears in the TV movie.

That final regeneration scene… So cool! I’ll miss Eccleston, but he made the most of his time as the 9th Doctor. The way David Tennant also makes his appearance uniquely his was super funny. Just kinda commenting on his new teeth and then shrugging it off.

Alright, that’s it for Series 1, as well as the end of Eccleston’s run as the 9th Doctor. It was a fun ride and an amazing start to this fresh new beginning to the franchise, but I suppose it’s time to move on with him. Now, onto Series 2, with David Tennant taking over as the 10th Doctor.

Harry Potter characters as things my friends have said except there's way too many characters

Yes, we write down funny things we say, no that's not weird

Harry: “I wanna jump out a castle window but like not die” 

Ron: “WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING???”

Hermione: “It’s feminine to write a paragraph”

Neville: “Lore update: I’m confused as hell.”

Luna: “Hey I can’t come to the party on Friday night, I just bought a bunch of cows and I gotta chill with them.”

Ginny: “I feel like you’re only dating me for my brother.”

Draco: “My chat is in it’s gaslight era”

Dean: “This is a lot like a cult for a Christian movie”

Seamus: “Agility: Setting things on fire and watching it explode... but in different directions.”

Dumbledore: “No one here has committed any crimes, and if you have, they were funny crimes, so it’s fine”

Ambrosia's Kiss- Pt.1- {Spencer Reid x F!Reader}

Chapter Summary: The team gets a new case that involves Geek Mythology, Spencer and the reader talk about flowers

Warning: This fic will have depictions of violence, and various detailed crimes. Use of Y/n.

Words: 2383

Pairing: Spencer Reid x F!Reader

So I decided to just add the prologue and first chapter together!

" kiss me yet once again, the last, long kiss,

            Until I draw your soul within my lips

                    And drink down all your love." 

                                                      - Aphrodite

 

The bullpen usually smelled of copy papers, caffeine, and sterilization, a strong clean scent that overpowered Spencer's bitter-tasting coffee as he went to sip from its plastic lid.  This morning was different though, there was a sweet floral scent that started subtly from the elevator. Subtle but enough to make Spencer question what has changed today for there to be such a comforting scent. It's not until he's almost reached the corner of his desk that the intoxicating aroma hits him in full force.

 His nose scrunches up as he scans around the nearby desks, searching for the source. Golden brown eyes lay upon a bouquet of cut spring flowers, brightly colored, varied in size and shape resting in a light blue vase on the desk behind him. Spencer examines the flowers, bending down so he can properly see and identify which ones there are. Lavender, snapdragons, sunflowers, and lilies. From the way the flowers are decorated, Spencer can tell that it's made with love and care, and a small part of his stomach sinks into theories. 

"Good morning Spence!" A bright cheery voice rang into the lanky man's ears startling him into the desk. According to his mother as a kid, he was prone to crashing into things, but now as a man, Spencer was still getting out of the habit. A small yelp escapes Spencer's mouth as he catches the nearly tipped-over bouquet before it can spill its contents all over the floor. He can't help the redness on his cheeks go as he straightens up to wave and give an awkward smile to the smaller woman below him.  "Ah...Good morning Y/n. " Spencer's voice is a bit higher than he would like since he was just caught off guard. 

"Sorry I didn't mean to sneak up on you." Y/n starts with an apologetic smile, then turns into a beaming one as her attention is now on the vase. "What do you think of the flowers??" 

Her hands reach forward to neatly rearrange the flowers from Spencer's little bump, her eyes sparkling full of life. Something Spencer wishes he still had, after nearly giving a decade of his life. He chases that spark, that taste of seeing the good in all of the bad in the world. Truthfully he was a bit jealous of his younger co-worker, she reminded him of his early years too much. Hopeful, Innocent, Naive, and Eager. 

He remembers when she first transferred over a year ago, how she wore a purple jeweled dragonfly pin in her hair which first caught his attention. When she fought to prove herself to the team by showing the fire buried deep inside or she had slipped her way into their family by just being there, and caring for them as they do her. Most important was how Spencer and Y/n cared for each other, they were best friends at work and outside of it. 

It all started on one movie night when Spencer had invited the group for a Halloween movie marathon and only Y/n and Garcia with Morgan as emotional support had shown up. A night well spent gushing over how fake the effects were and any movie lore that Spencer would whip up to tell. After that night they were practically inseparable, taking time in the mornings to converse and joke while the evenings would be work focused as partners. So much in fact that the team would tease each one from time to time about it. 

" They look nice and colorful. I could smell them from the elevator coming in." He answers bluntly, avoiding the elephant of a question in the room. There's no chance for Y/n to ask or respond before he speaks again.  

 "Hey, did you know that lavender was used by the ancient Egyptians during mummification?"  Spencer continues with a snap of his fingers as he begins to recall information, a gleam in his eyes.

Y/n snorts, moving the blue vase away from the edge so it doesn't have another fall, as she sits down in her cushion seat. Scooting closer to her desk, Y/n contently hums looking up at Spencer full attention now on him. Dressed in one of his high-end suits, in his favorite colors purple and gray. His brown curly hair unkempt in a mess but messy fit him well.  " Oh yeah? How so? Was it used as medicine or something?"

Spencer pauses for a moment, hesitating to continue for fear that someone will tell him to quiet down.  He side-eyes the room inspecting to see where their fellow team members are. Garcia was more than likely hiding in her bat cave, Emily was conversing with JJ over coffee in the break room while Rossi and Hotch were in their offices enjoying the calm before the storm. Morgan was nowhere to be seen so Spencer assumed he had to be at the firing range blowing off steam. No one was there to stop him, it was just him, her, and the tauntingly bright flowers. 

 "It's really simple actually. After finding out that the Romans were using a plant that created such a scent used for cleaning their laundry. The Egyptians were more about their beauty and hygiene.  They believed that if they scented their deceased then they would be closer to their gods. It's a big part of why most of the mummies discovered are preserved so well." There's something about the way that Spencer rambles that makes Y/n want to have his voice on a tape for road trips. It's soothing and so full of life when he talks passionately. The small movements his hands made exaggerated which points he wanted to. 

"Huh..that is the least disturbing thing about mummification I've ever heard. So…do the bodies still like lavender when they are found?"  As they talk Y/n can't help to lean forward, to take a small sniff from a strand of lavender. The image of a dirty wrapped-up body in a dusty and sandy tomb but with the periwinkle-colored plant's scent pictured clearly in her mind. 

" Yeah! When archeologists first discovered King Tut, they found a jar containing incense and it still was very fragrant!"  Spencer grins eyes darting back and forth between her and the flowers, lifting a hand to push back the front of his curls as he speaks. A mental note was made to himself to ask about them later. 

Y/n wonders what's on Spencer's mind since he won't stop eyeing the bouquet made for her sister. Just as she's about to say something Rossi walks over catching the attention of the two younger agents.  The senior agent seemed to be in a favorable mood no doubt from his late-night wine enjoyment and self–made Italian food. A playful look gleaming in his eyes along with a slight smirk.

“It must be a good morning if Boy Wonder is already talking your ear off. What’s today’s topic?” His tone was teasing but caring nonetheless. A white mug of black coffee in his hand labeled with red words ‘BAU’s Favorite Uncle”, a custom gift that Y/n and Garcia collabed for his birthday last year. The steam rising up from the cup, a sign that it was freshly made moments ago. 

“How lavender was used to help preserve corpses in ancient Egypt.” Y/n simply answered, trying to contain her grin. 

Rossi pauses mid sip of his coffee, the look on his face is one of slight dismay but not surprised. There’s a moment where he looks between Spencer and Y/n, hopeful that they are joking. When no one else speaks Rossi shakes his head to himself, finishing the sip before he responds out begrudgingly.

 “Sorry I asked.” No longer interested in the morning small talk, Rossi turns and begins to head towards the debrief room. A smile appears on Rossi’s face when he hears the mixed sounds of a light giggle and a deep chuckle, silently rooting for the two, he wished he heard more of those sounds often in this line of work.  The smile is gone as quickly as it came once Rossi meets up with Hotch in the debrief room, a look of disdain painted on his face. 

“Morning. Is everyone already here?” Hotch asks as he places down a tablet on the round table, pictures of their newest case visible on screen. 

“I believe so, we already have a new one? Here I was thinking the sickos would take a vacation for my benefit.” A light joke that cracks a tiny smile from the other man, before it goes back to his usual stoic expression.

“Then we would be out of a job. I’ll send a text to Garcia, have her round everyone up.”

True to his word, it only takes about 10 minutes for Garcia with her clicking heels and the rest of the team to trinkle into the room mentally preparing. Everyone grabs their tablets, turning them on to see the uploaded information while Spencer is happily given a mildly thick file. 

“Last night 25 year old Vanessa Garrett was found in one of Warren Valley’s local parks, and just 4 days before she was found, there was another woman. Caylee Danforth, 26 years old and was found in a different but nearby park. As you can see, someone has a sick sense of theatricals.” Garcia speaks, her tone already laced together with compassion and horror as she stands at the board. 

Photos of red-haired women dressed in elegant but vintage black dress, lying in a bed half full of daffodils.  There was discoloration to their skin, bound marks on their wrists showing that they were held captive for a long period of time. Their hands were placed in a resting position on the stomach, a lone daffodil frozen inside of them. There was also plenty of information on both of the women’s lives, giving a helpful insight into why they were chosen. Already the gears began to turn within the team’s heads, JJ can’t help but let out a dismayed noise earning the attention of her colleagues as she inspected the photos closer, her eyes zig-zagging over all of the evidence.

"He's cared for these women in some way, the way he positions the body, they are clean and dolled up." 

"He left them out in the open for the public to see. So he doesn't care about being hidden, he wants the world to know something." Morgan adds on to the flowing thought. 

"There are no signs of violence besides the bruising on the wrists, so what was the cause of death? Suffocation?" Hotch jumps in asking Garcia. 

" No, they were killed with some type of poison according to the M.E.  I have the tox screens being processed right now." Garcia answers back, taking an empty space in between Morgan and Y/n. 

“There’s a lot to go off of this, the clothing, the flowers. It all has some type of meaning.” Y/n finally speaks, unable to put together a fully grounded thought yet.

Hotch’s voice cuts through the air swiftly. “Whatever it is, we need to figure it out before he kills again.”

my portrayal of lilith plays with the idea that, as created equal to man, lilith is a narrative foil to adam in that she is cut of the same cloth — she is unapologetically confident, arrogant, and narcissistic. she is also clever & cunning, the snake hidden betwixt roses.

she is not all evil. she is not all good. she fights for the causes she believes in ( the liberation of women, the safety of her citizens, etc. ) but makes no apology for her aloof demeanour. she holds a lot of anger ... at adam, at god, at lucifer, for having failed her when it mattered.

she loved lucifer, and their family, though perhaps not in the way he wanted. she didn't feel satisfied in that role.

my main verse is based on the presumption that, before she was taken to heaven, lilith was plotting a rebellion against heaven, making political moves behind lucifer's back to wage war against the angels and put an end to heaven's tyranny.

SILLY THEORY ABOUT THE DHMIS LORE

OK SO, Multiple times, the underground is mentioned, both Micheal & whoever “David” is, are underground

Those are also kinda some of the only human names in the series

ALSO THE LAMP MENTIONS “ one's soul after death goes to a place in-between the Earth's core and surface, where it relives its life as a performance to a super-race called "the Council",” WHICH LIKE 🤨

I think that humans (or human-like people) are the “other species” thing, since Micheals one of the only humans shown in the series and David’s played off as a very human name in the show and they’re both underground.

so what if Lesley’s one of the “reincarnated souls” but for some reason shes above ground?

so maybe whatever floor thats above lesleys could be “the council”?

idk

but

but

like

so cool

so like maybe theres a so-called “superior” species and maybe David, Micheal, and Lesley are part of that?

also this could include Lily & Todney & their family since they’re human (and they’re possibly canonically related to Lesley due to the picture of her in the family tree.), but the family could be non-human due to the end of the episode where they eat. but yeye

also this could include “big ian” & the other residents of Clayhill but they might not even canonically exist. ALSO could include the chimney sweep from the time song and the other humans in the song.

WAIT OMIGOSH

IT COULD ALSO INCLUDE THE PUPPETEER CHAPS SEEN IN THE BIG BOY ROOM & IN THE RED GUY HEAD EXPLODING SCENE. ALSO MAYBE BECKY & JOE SINCE THEY MIGHT EXIST IN THE UNIVERSE?

GGGAAAAAAAH I LOVE THIS THEORY HEHEHE 🎉 (/pos

I love Dhmis so much hhhgggggghghg

Also not including yellow guy’s dad in this theory since he makes me uncomfortable to talk about. Srry.

You might have noticed that we didn’t go that deep into Persephone’s story, so that’s what we’ll do in this chapter.

Persephone was born November 14, 1999. She was adopted by her two loving mothers at the age of 3 months. Her original name is unknown. When she was 2 they adopted a white bunny called Snuffles. She loved to play outside where her garden was, full of white and pink roses planted just for her. Accompanied with tulips. She always had some extra energy due to ADHD. There in the garden, she chased and played with Snuffles. She had a bunch of laughs and giggles, and a bunch more of happy moments.

She always had a neighbor who always practiced ballet outside, and she would always stop and watch her practice in fascination with Snuffles. When she was five, she begged her parents to get enrolled into ballet lessons, which they finally gave up after a week of begging and enrolled her into classes.

Her school life wasn’t as perfect though. At school, she was considered the “Weird kid” because in 2nd grade she had tripped at lunch and accidentally spilled cranberry juice all over the popular girl, making everyone enraged at her. She was on her knees on the floor helplessly on the ground. Cranberry juice all over her clothes,but they cared about the popular girl more. One day she had also made a drawing and she was proud of it, when she showed it off confidently, she was just made fun of. She never drew again. Both of those devastating days, she had came home crying.

When she had arrived home, her mothers comforted her as she held Snuffles tightly, but not enough to hurt it even the slightest. Tears rolled down her cheeks, leaving tear stains on her cheeks as she was held in the embrace of her two mothers, poor girl.

Another person at school was her bully, the pick me girl. We’ll call her Emily. She was the worst. But any mature person would see that she was clearly jealous. Along her were two boys who bullied her alongside Emily. Their names Xavier and Isaiah.They would always help Emily bully Persephone, such as doing things like pouring liquids over her head and sabotaging her in anything. One day they when Persephone was 15, the bullies had sent a person to try and kill Snuffles, they were successful at murdering it, but the person was stabbed repeatedly on their stomach by her due to her fury. She cried herself to sleep that night. But the next day, her mother’s had given her a white rabbit as a gift to remember her loving pet. They buried Snuffles in front of her favorite rose bush the same day. She planted her favorite flower on top of its grave, a lily of the valley.

But at least life in ballet class was completely different. She had many friends, but her best friends were Anaisa and Diana. She always talked to them and had a couple of sleepovers with them. They were enjoyable, and they were the bestest friends she could ever ask for. They were kind and understanding, just perfect.

When they were all 17, their ballet class had to preform at a place in France, Mouthe.They had preformed an act called “Swan Lake”. Anaisa and Persephone gotten the role of the white swan, with soft and majestic moves. Diana had gotten the role of the black swan, with sharper and more confident-like moves. Her mothers were among the crowd, clapping and cheering the whole class on. But Emily was secretly in the crowd. She was holding a gun, no one specifically noticed and she was in disguise, so she was well hidden.

While on stage, a loud shot rang out, Persephone had been shot on the neck…

She fell to her knees as everyone ran off stage in panic, Anaisa and Diana had watched in despair from the sidelines. She desperately clawed at her neck as tears fell down her cheeks rapidly in despair as blood gushed out the place she was shot. She let out a blood curdling scream as she fell on the floor, on her knees. Her mothers were watching in absolute shock. That’s when she finally stopped breathing and it all went black for her. Her limp and cold had feel to the ground with a hard thud.She was dead…the last thing she saw was her mother’s tear stained faces, and both of her friends on the sidelines.

She soon arrived to hell, due to killing a person during her lifetime as previously mentioned. As you know most people in hell receive characteristics based on their death, and guess what she was?…A ballerina doll. She still had her waist-long platinum hair that cascaded down her back like a silk waterfall, her icy blue eyes and pale skin, but she had cracks, like a broken doll would. The biggest crack was where she was shot, an “X” right on the spot where she was shot. She had cracks on her knees too due to her kneeling position while dying. But overall, she still had a ballerina like appearance, she was still beautiful.

She loved going to the nearby coffee shop, she always went there and wrote stories in her journal, but she never tried ballet again due to fear. What she didn’t know is that once in a while, Lucifer (The king of Hell) would sometimes also go there to get a coffee or two. One time he went (She was 22 at the time), he had eyes on her while she was distracted writing fantasies and fairy-like stories in her book. She had a small white bunny plush next to her as small company, which looked exactly like the one her mothers had bought her as her leg bounced up and down due to her ADHD. Lucifer had a faint blush on his cheeks as he stared at her, she looked up and caught him staring, which he quickly looked away in embarrassment.Before he left, he had gave her a note with his number written on it and set it on her table. She blushed faintly when she saw what is was. The king of Hell giving her his number? Hell yeah! That’s how their love story started. <3

She got back to her apartment the same day. She quickly dialed the number, anxiously waiting for him to pick up. After a couple of seconds, her had picked up, and they talked for what seemed like hours on end. They had met up a couple of times after that, and they became friends, soon besties after that. And after what seemed a couple of months, Lucifer had the enough courage to ask Persephone on the date on December 11th. They had both went to Rosie’s diner and it went unexpectedly well from their point of view. After that, they started officially dating. Soon having Persephone moving into his palace where they slept together and did 𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓮𝓼 together.

Bonus scene-Crushes and Blushes ☆

˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧˚.🎀༘⋆

Persephone had moved in with Lucifer, she had her stuff in a backpack including her bunny plush, since she still hadn’t gotten a new one since death.

She knocked on the door of the palace gently, waiting a few seconds before the door creaked open and she was met by Lucifer’s warm smile.

“Oh-yeah hey-uh-um..hi Persephone..”

She chuckled faintly at his stuttering.

“No need to call me by my name just call me by any nickname you want..such as..uh..”

“Doll?” Lucifer seemed already half a step ahead of her

A faint blush had dusted her cheeks as she nodded slightly.

“Yeah that sounds like a decent nickname..”

She smiled faintly and enveloped him in a hug. Surprised by the sudden hug, Lucifer quickly recovered af his little brain freeze and returned the hug, bringing both of them inside, picking up her bag for her like any gentleman should as he wrapped an arm around her waist after pulling back from the hug. He smiled gently and pecked her cheek, then lead her to their shared room to unpack.

She looked around, taking in all of her surroundings of the room. The room was filled with mountains of rubber ducks,pictures of him, Charlie, and his ex wife, a picture of emo Charlie, and his bed.She didn’t imagine the room to be full of ducks. (And Emo Charlie-).

She spoke up hesitantly after a few seconds.

“Oh my! Well this very..cute to say at least!”

Lucifer looked back at her.

“Really?”

“Of course! You have an obsession with ducks like I have an obsession with rabbits!”

He smiled warmly at her before pecking her forehead. She giggled slightly at that before she was cut off by him sitting them both down on the bed, sitting her on his lap. She was as red as a strawberry now.

“Wha-wait--um..i-i w-was not expecting t-that..”

She short circuited because of him. Wow. She could’ve sworn she was getting even redder by the minute. Her ears were getting red, and her face was as hot as a toaster. Lucifer chuckled at her being flustered, he ran his fingers through her hair as his eyes examined her up and down .

“You’re a little red doll..” he teased playfully.

“I..Um..” Let’s just say that she is speechless.

Lucifer continued to looked her up and down, before wrapping his arms around her even tightly as he rested his chin on her shoulder, humming happily as he

closed his eyes and just held her close. She soon melted into his touch and also closed her eyes, eventually falling asleep in his arms.

They both woke up laying down on the bed, the rays of the morning sun waking both of them up. Lucifer shifted slightly, waking up and slowly opening his eyes. Before stretching out slightly and sitting up. He looked down at her slightly moving body’s signaling that she was waking up. He smiled faintly as he watched her squirming awake. (This is so cringe help)

⋆｡°✩

Lucifer had made Persephone meet everyone from the hotel, being introduced into Charlie and her hotel idea. Which she tried to her best to support as practically being her stepmother now.

She had doubts on Angel Dust, but tried to be nice

She thought a Husk was chill, so it was nice to be around him to her.

She had full on HATED Alastor for him teasing her about her appearance and her cracks, which she seemed to have flashbacks, so that’s that.

Nifty had made her crack a smile with her attitude, but pissed her off a bit when she held onto Lucifer the first time she saw him and called him a “Bad boy”

Vaggie had doubts on her at first and was observing Persephone closely, which she felt pretty uncomfortable about, making her grip Lucifer’s hand a bit tighter

Bonus- Relationship Ownership ☆

˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧˚.🎀༘⋆

She walked into the hotel, holding Lucifer’s hand as the approached together, she seemed a bit hesitant but ensured herself everything would be fine because Lucifer was there. He rang the door bell of the hotel as in a few seconds, a girl who looked very similar to Lucifer opened the door and looked at him. She immediately squeaked and hugged him, causing him to let go of her hand. Who was this girl?Lucifer pulled back from the hug before turning to her and speaking up

“Oh yeah- uh right..where are my matters ,doll…Charlie, this is my girlfriend Persephone, doll, this is my daughter, Charlie.”

“Oh my gosh- you look so pretty! Oh my- just like a doll! Wait is that why dad calls you doll or-“

“Charlie don’t just start bombarding her with questions..”

She spoke up after a second

“No, no, it’s fine..well yeah I looked like this because when I was alive I was a ballerina, now i’m a ballerina doll.”

Charlie gasped and her eyes seemed to light up.

“Oh my god that’s so cool! C’mon the others are waiting for you-“

Charlie had already grabbed Persephone’s arm and dragged her inside. Immediately, Vaggie gave her a dirty look filled with suspicion. And she winced slightly. Lucifer chuckled faintly and followed behind them, before he was stopped by Nifty clinging onto him.

“The bad boy is back!”

She giggled like the little child she is after saying that. That earned her a side eye from Persephone from clinging onto Lucifer like that, but she ignored it after Lucifer latched her off of him and Charlie wandered off. The next thing she saw was Husk cleaning the bar, which he gave her a small salute. Before Alastor randomly spawned in front of her,

startling her a bit, before she spoke up.

“And you are?…”

“Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting your sweetheart quite a pleasure!”

He said while shaking her hand quickly and wiping his hand off after on his coat as if she was some kind of germ. He purposely looked at her cracks on her neck which made her feel uncomfortable, but thought nothing of it. Before he spoke up again.

“Look’s like you a broken toy..you are useless after all.”

And that broke her, was he always like this? Or was he just teasing her? She was getting more overwhelmed by the second as flashbacks of her death came to her mind for a second. They were horrifying to say at least. But she pushed those thought out of her brain as she focused back on the conversation while blinking back tears.

“Oh shut it Bambi..”

Lucifer was too busy talking with Charlie to help her, so she was stuck with this guy for now. He chuckled darkly.

“How about, no! You broken toy”

“IM NOT BROKEN IM PERFECTLY FINE I SWEAR IM OKAY IM JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I-I swear im normal..please..”

Well uh that was a little louder than intended, but that caught Lucifer’s attention, making him pause and walk over, seeing the tears welling up in her eyes he immediately stood infront of her with a small grumble, looking up at Alastor with a glare. It was hard to take him seriously due to his height, so she just dragged her away from him without saying anything, wiping the tears from her eyes. She composed herself before watching Niffty run around trying to stab some bugs. She felt the corners of her mouth twitch up slightly, she thought it was adorable. Now she just needed to be introduced to Angel dust, which Lucifer was already on it. He dragged her in front of him and just stood next to her. Angel was TOWERING over both of them, and when he saw her, she just smirked down at her.

“Hey toots, ya Lucifer’s new girlfriend right?”

She nodded at that, which Angel hummed at.

“I don’t blame him for picking ya, you’re a pretty one ain’t ya?”

“I guess..”

⋆｡°✩

About a week after, Lucifer had taken her to another date, this time at a fancier restaurant. Her had Charlie hiding to help coach him to ask his big question he had to say this night. But as the date went on, it was already time for dessert and he hadn’t gotten the courage to ask yet. He knew that Charlie was basically face palming in the background. When they both stood up after paying, Lucifer finally took her hand in his and fell to one knee, pulling out a crimson red box out of his pocket and asked the big question.

“Persephone, will you make me the happiest man in Hell and marry me?..”

He said as he gathered enough courage to say it in a decently loud but shaky voice. His palms sweaty and slightly shaking. It all went away when she awnsered with the best words he could imagine.

“I-I- oh my..Luci..yes..of course I will..”

His voice wasn’t the only one shaking, but so was hers, but not as much as his at the moment. She smiled warmly and pulled him back up, pulling him into a kiss as clapping echoed through the diner. Lucifer could literally feel his heart hammering in his chest.

Bonus- Marring with a Golden Ring ☆

˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧˚.🎀༘⋆

It was finally the day of the wedding day of Persephone and Lucifer. They have planned this all along, waiting for the moment to finally happen. Persephone was wearing a beautiful white dress and Lucifer was wearing a white suit to match. Now look at the both of them, finally ending up to be married together. By the time Persephone walked down the aisle, Lucifer was looking at them with a soft smile, admiring how beautiful she was. When she was right beside him, the priest started to perform the ceremony. A few minutes pass, as then the priest spoke.

“Do you take Persephone as your wife?”

“I do.” Answered Lucifer.

“Do you take Lucifer as your husband?”

The priest spoke, as He and the priest waited for an answer.

“I do.” She said with the biggest smile anyone has ever seen from her.

The priest smiled, as now he spoke again.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

The priest finished, as Lucifer and Persephone look at each other in the eyes, smiling before Lucifer pulled her closer to him, he wrapped his arm around her waist and leaned down to her, and kissed her gently. (How do I describe a kiss scene 😨).

Idk they lived happily every after or some shii leave me alone i’m tired of writing ✨

school bus love

synopsis: he wasn’t the kind of boy who was noticed first, but when she finally saw him, the world made just a little bit more sense.

pairing: teen!toji fushiguro x teen!f!reader

warnings: none.

a/n: hello my lovelies! here’s a little piece of lily lore, and just a smidgen of my heart sprinkled into it too. this is based on the very first time i laid eyes on my boyfriend when we were young and seventeen <3 if anybody wants a continuation of this, do let me know :) enjoy xo

part 2

how strange it was to leave behind everything you had ever known for your whole life, all in pursuit of the future you wanted for yourself.

the tips of her fingers were ice-cold, with nail beds dipped in a light blue hue, and puffs of her breath came out in whispy swirls. there was no sun in the sky, only grey clouds promising sleet and snow, near slips on the icy asphalt. she stared down the road, shoving her hands into her blazer pockets, bouncing back and forth on the balls of her feet. she thought of home, knowing it most certainly wouldn’t be this cold there.

her bus buddy was standing beside her, careful not to lean against the wet stone wall behind them, while she typed frantically on her phone. the younger kids around them chattered away without a care in the world, still viewing the cold world around them through rose-tinted glasses, their zest for life seeming invincible.

she thought about how it didn’t seem all that long ago that she was just like them, only on the other side of the world.

“hey, by the way, my friend says she’s going to join us today,” her buddy announced, flicking her hair over her shoulder with an air of nonchalance. “she gets on at the next stop.”

“sure, yeah,” she replied, not really knowing what else she could say, and acutely aware that her opinion held quite little value.

this was a whole new world to her, a completely different way of life than before. she wasn’t used to having to learn all to navigate through the intricate social rules that came with enrolling in a school where students had known each other since they were toddlers. it was hard, and so very isolating. she didn’t like how subdued she had become and clung desperately to the hope that things would get better.

her bus buddy carried herself with her chin stuck in the air, clearly relishing in how much she didn’t know about anything at all, and was more than happy to share and gossip. she told her about who was in each friend group, where they all liked to drink in secret at the weekends, and who was dating who. menial things too, like how they had somehow earned the right to sit at the back of the bus simply because they were older, and how sitting anywhere else would garner harsh stares, as if she’d grown two heads.

not that any of it really mattered to her. she was just living on a big floating rock amidst the stars and inky black expanse of the universe, and was only here to finish her high school education and move onto bigger and brighter things.

hopefully.

as if on cue, the headlights of the bus shone through the misty air, coming to a screeching halt at the bus stop. she breathed out a sigh of relief, taking her hands out of her pocket and blowing hot air into them, rubbing them together in anticipation.

“fuck, fuck, c’mon let’s get on quick and get good spots,” her friend ushered, clearly impatient. “c’mon, before all the boys get here.”

they pushed through the throng of kids clambering onto the bus, and she felt a stab of guilt, although she was grateful to be getting out of the cold. her bus buddy ostentatiously plonked herself right onto a comfy spot in the back corner, and she slowly took the seat opposite to her.

“you think the boys are going to say anything?” she asked, slightly nervous, not wanting to be stuck in the middle of a confrontation.

her friend snorted. “who gives a shit if they do?”

heat rose to the back of her neck, and she rubbed it shyly, placing her backpack onto the floor between her legs. her friend was already texting again on her phone, paying her no attention, and she busied herself with trying to fish for her earbuds, and perhaps an old memory hidden somewhere in her pockets.

soon enough, she heard the familiar sounds of the boys whooping and boisterous voices approaching the end of the bus, and she shrank further into the safety of her crevice.

“hey hey hey! the fuck’s goin on here?” droned the familiar voice of satoro gojo, who was looking at them both with a disgusted crinkle of his perfect nose.

“shut up, gojo,” her friend spat back, sitting up straighter in her seat, glaring daggers at satoru that dared him to try and say anything else. “we were here first.”

satoru seemed to concede, albeit quite obviously begrudgingly. “whatever,” he mumbled, then returned to talking about whatever the rest of them were conversing about before.

the rest of the boys clambered into the seats, with satoro and suguru geto beside each other to the far left of them, with kento nanami sliding politely onto the seat beside her, quietly apologizing for brushing his leg against hers.

and then.

he sat down across from her, right beside her friend.

he, a boy with gorgeous dark hair and even more beautiful green eyes, immediately put his feet up in the tiny sliver of space between her and nanami. he who was big and broad, just exactly her type, and deliciously handsome. she was almost shell-shocked. had she ever seen this boy before in the two months she’d been here? something inside her told her that she had, but this had to be the first time she was really seeing him.

he glanced at her before immediately putting his headphones over his ears, tuning out the sound of the bus engine rumbling and sputtering.

she bit her lip and mirrored him, ignoring that familiar boom! badum! boom! of her heart.

the world flashed with a shade of rosy pink promises.

the universe smirked at her.

[eorzea80]

As it is Solstice, and as I am wont to [stay up until dawn and worry the heck out of my living spouse, daroga], and wait for some House of Ill Repute to pay out its winnings, I suppose I will weave a yarn. I had always set out for my WoL...if I can call "her" that, to be "the older but wiser [girl]"

[From here on out, I'm going to dispense with qualifiers. While I have a rather casual relationship with gender, my character, despite their obvious Mary/Boy Named Sue qualities uses she/her pronouns. Anything beyond that is for her to figure out in time.] I didn't want her to be a chipper 17-year-old HS senior featured in so many fantasy and sci-fi narratives.

[Please ignore my Sukeban Deka cosplay in the thumbnail].

On the other hand, I didn't think she could carry a hardened Ripley-esque facade. A Merlwyb I am not.

I did want to integrate a few circumstances from my life and reflect the fact that I do have a partner whom I love and respect, but for whom MMO's are kind of a no-go. I want to be able to RP, but avoid some of the complications I've heard about. Please keep in mind that I do not possess the "smells like lore"...ya know, ...lore? I just looked on Amazon for those books and I think I'm going to be sick at the price. I'm just going off of what little I've played over 10 years. Remember, dungeons make me break out in hives, so I only ever got the courage to attempt them in Shadowbringers/Endwalker. [Deep breath] Pryne Caris is the child of researchers on Sharlyan, with family ties to Gridania and Ishgard. As is usually the case, once her mother was with child, she set aside her ambitions in favor of raising her daughter and supporting her husband's research [true story]. Pryne was a quick study. Beyond knowing *of* Y'shtola, who was a few years above her, *of* G'raha, who was a few years below her, and maybe babysitting the Leveilleur twins [THRICE, NEVER AGAIN, true story], Pryne had few academic contacts outside of her year [In theory, Krile should have been a bestie, but I can't find THE LORE to support that]. Nevertheless, she still rose through the the ranks, buoyed by her parents' confidence and competence. It seems to me that she would have sought out the opportunity to become an Archon and possibly been a Student of Baldesion...but a few circumstances intervened. In the years preceding the Seventh Umbral Calamity, Pryne's father began to go mad. As his work became increasingly useless to the cause of Etheirys, he was stripped of his duties and institutionalized in a facility within Labyrinthos. His family, not being current or vested researchers within Sharlyan, were given a choice: Stay in their home and work to subsidize his care, with almost nothing left over for their own needs; or leave and have his care fully funded by the institution. It really wasn't much of a choice. Pryne's research was left behind unfinished; a torch for other students to carry [true story, that's how it works in academia sometimes]. I haven't the foggiest clue what she was specializing in, as she came to her fighting class later in life, but I imagine she was trying to find some woo-woo link between magical and physical classes; something that G'raha may have picked up on as he became our favorite All-Rounder. She and "Ma Mère" left for Gridania, stayed with kinfolk in Central Shroud for a spell, and then splurged on an apartment in the Lily Hills complex. Beside doing academic spec work for Gridanian government and guilds, they established a bar, "Salutations" [Cheers], which is where they turned most of their gil. Within a year, they went from sleeping in a double-bed behind the bar to each having an apartment of their own, one floor apart [true story...you're going to see a lot of those *cough* Mary Sue *cough*] Around the end of their first year in Gridania, as conditions worsened, a regular patron invited her to the Lancers' Guild in town.

"You know, just so you can defend yourself." "I can defend myself just fine, thank you!" "I'm sure you can, but it's much more convincing with a pointy stick!"

Again, she was a quick study. He tutored her and when her researcher's mind absorbed all he could give, he referred her on to the guild leader; and then on to Coerthas.

"Come back to me when you are a Dragoon. Come back to The Shroud and we will be married."

In her head, the peace of The Sanctum and the fires of Carteneau flash back and forth, strobing, blinding.

"We were both there, side by side, hand in hand, ready to meet our uncertain future. We moved but a finger and one of us vanished."

Like most afflicted with post-Calamity amnesia, Pryne cannot remember the fate of her husband on the fields of Carteneau.

Unlike those afflicted, a new vision has cropped up to take the place of those irradiated memories.

Hydaelyn.

Pryne was not asking for someone to kick her in the pants and out of mourning for her husband. Her mother certainly wasn't going to go there, having barely mourned her own husband's loss as well. Oh, no, no. Our dear Hydaelyn, our Friend From Another End[walker], was there to show us the way out of our grief. Show us = SEND US ON A MESSIANIC QUEST WITH A BUNCH OF OLD CLASSMATES. So now she's here. Saving suicidal bird girls and trying not to see all the similarities between her husband [WHO MIGHT STILL BE OUT THERE] and this five-foot-three flagon of charged Hawaiian Punch. Who may or may not be a former classmate. Who she may or may not have saved from being a giant quartz statue. ----- [I WON THE LOTTERY! I NEVER WIN CRAP! It's kind of a life-changing amount of gil. I have no clue what I'm going to do with it [nothing, I'm doing nothing, I'm saving it for a nest egg and never touching it like in real life].

And now she's back at Salutations, watching careworn former soldiers make terrible jokes on her stand-up stage. Keeping Alisaile from raiding the bar ["Why do I never have this issue with Alphinaud?"]. Keeping gil in the jukebox. Keeping it all from slipping through her fingers a third time.

----- Please be kind to my lore that is not lore. A lot of it is left ambiguous so that I can maybe write my partner in at a later date, if they care to join. Also, because I DON'T HAVE THE LORE BOOKS BUT NOW I KNOW THEY EXIST AND I WANT THEM.

[applesontheground]

Do you have any recommendations for Sinclair writers

!!!!! OH BOY DO I !!!!!

@aggravatetheaxe jack writes for all three brothers and he's so fucking good with handling the limited lore we're given and turning it into something so much more than that. his characterization of the sinclairs are one of my all-time favorites. plus, his dirty talk for bo makes me melt to the floor every time.

@imbleedin-out lily has such a good grasp on all three brothers, as well! she writes the perfect soft fics that i will never not be tired of, plus she's so fucking good at headcanons and hypotheticals! she's definitely been my main source of inspiration for my sinclair sister writing. ;w;

@darkestamralime a sinclair smut ✨mastermind✨. her blurbs are full of so much detail and good ass dialogue in the small package, which is a hard skill to hone in my experience. also, while i don't particularly simp that hard for vincent, her smut for him is so well done that i'm lowkey beginning to get it, lol (;///;)

@feelin-woozy soggy has been someone i've looked up to since i got slapped in the face with my slasher hyperfixation and began writing for it, and i looked to them for inspiration to come around to posting my work. great bo characterization, and is super inclusive to reader identities that are often under-represented here :>

@s1mping4slashers B writes for all three brothers, as well! really like their lester works in particular ;w; also, their recent goretober fic that was just explaining someone falling victim to the sinclairs really stuck with me! i love their ability to describe a scene *w*

When the earth crumbles to dust.

Alternatively: "Until then, we will find each other again." <|||>

fluff & angst shot, reincarnation au, modern au

| Zhongli x Guizhong | Zhongli x Reader |

Warning: ptsd, panic attack

He came to learn of the name of the young woman with billowing sleeves. Guizhong.

Zhongli realized, that the Goddess of Dust has become a prominent turning point of his life. Back then when he lived the title of the God of War, he was vicious, cold, and unfeeling. However, because of her, such attributes mellowed and eventually died out.

When the goddess died, cutting off her final words, grief and despair washed over the man. Such emotions, he had not felt before. But because of her, he feels. He felt these foreign yet strong emotions run through him. All these emotions, for her.

Yet, it was too late, Zhongli realized.

It was hard for him to stand back up after her death in the field of wilted glaze lilies. Yet the man hardened himself, as he is the very embodiment of the earth. Thus, he protected her people and his which would later unite to what is Liyue today.

Perhaps, if he had not met her, Liyue would not exist.

However, to this day the memory of her death still haunts him. What would have she said, if she completed her final words?

'If you can unlock it-' then what? If the man was being honest, he was not sure if he wanted to hear those words. However, truth be told Zhongli does know how to complete the puzzle Guizhong had left him.

He was just scared. Afraid even. The Memory of Dust... Zhongli was afraid that if he unlocked it, it would also turn into dust, just as the goddess did. This is why he did not bother unlocking the artifact as it is his final memento of his love... Zhongli knew that the time will come when he is ready to open the artifact. As such, the God of Contracts made a contract to himself.

...

There was a time, actually, when he was ready to unlock the secrets of the Memory of Dust. However, a certain someone made him rewind his emotions of grief and longing all over again.

A woman with long, snow white hair and a pair of red eyes- along with the skill of crafting and constructing proven by the floating chamber above Liyue. Everything about that woman reminded him of Guizhong. It just pains him. In fear of feeling grief again, he avoided her as much as possible. But it didn't help him any further preparing himself to open the Memory of Dust.

So, he waited, abiding by the contract Zhongli made for himself.

...

Sipping tea, Zhongli finishes typing the last of his speech for a seminar regarding the history and culture Liyue. He leaves the cafe, with the next destination in mind- the local museum of Liyue. As a man of culture, Zhongli finds visiting the museum a pleasant experience. However, today's visit made him empty.

Just as he was gazing on a painting of glaze lilies, a young woman with billowing sleeves, stood by him.

At first, he had not paid you any attention. He only did when you spoke.

"You know... when I painted this, most of the time I think something's missing. Even now, actually."

Zhongli's gaze focused on the woman, and he swore he saw her. He gulped.

"I think... the scenery is perfect by itself already. What would you have added if you think your piece is still lacking?"

You pondered a bit, white hair shfting as your head tilted. Your red eyes, suddenly deep with wisdom.

"I don't know..." you began as doubt laced your voice. "I thought of two different scenarios before... But whatever scenario I choose, their outcome would be the same. They would make me... sad?

I'm not gonna lie, I like how this piece turned out. To others, it would seem that scene conveys serenity and happines, but to me... It just seems so... empty."

Zhongli hummed in understanding and agreement, as he, too also sees the emptiness in the painting despite the great skill and detail in it. It was missing her. The painting was empty, just like his heart. "If you don't mind, would you like to share to me what you wanted to add?"

You met the man's eyes and a flick of familiarity whirred in your head, but you ignore it. "Maybe another time? I'm just here for a quick visit the director."

For some reason, Zhongli felt disappointed. "I see. Perhaps another time then. I'm usually here every Sunday evening."

"Sure, I... I think I can work with that. See you then." And with that, you left. Leaving the man in the dust.

The next time Zhongli met you, it was another Sunday evening. When proper introductions were done, again, there was that flick of familiarity, but you did not bother. Once the both of you are seated in the benches just outside the museum, you showed him your laptop. When you did, you saw the the way Zhongli's expression shifted into a familiar sadness. It was almost like the expression you make whenever you face the empty painting.

"The field of glaze lillies, you see... I dream of it a lot. But not as the one displayed in the gallery. There were always two scenarios in the same field of glaze lillies."

Nostalgia filled Zhongli's entire being and he felt the Memory of Dust hum softly within him. It gave him a sense of comfort. The first picture was that of him and Guizhong in perfect likeness of their appearances. And the second... The second was also in perfect likeness of her death.

Observing the man's reaction. Something- sank into you. A realization. "Why... why do you look like him?"

The question brought Zhongli back to reality and quickly recovered himself, replying that it must be pure coincidence and chance. But he knows that you are her.

You were suspicious at his answer first, but brushed it off. Then your phone rang. Looking at the caller, you stood up. It was time for you to leave again.

"It seems that our time together has come to an end. As for the paintings, forget about it, would you?" Then you turned around, about to leave.

Those words... those words were also what Guizhong uttered when she-

The bench creaked as the man abruptly stood up, grabbing your wrist.

"D-don't leave..." Zhongli croaked, feeling... things again.

There was a desparation in his eyes you couldn't ignore. Your heart was beating loudly in panic. Don't leave? Why? Observing the man again, you decided that your worries were not of your priority. Zhongli began to sweat profusely, his grip tightening, his breathing labored, his body shivering, his eyes clouding.

"Shit, calm down, Zhongli. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving..." you said with a reassuring tone as you sat the two of you on the bench. His grip was still on your wrist but you didn't mind. "Come on work with me, Zhongli. Breathe with me. There, inhale... exhale... inhale... exhale..."

Inhale...

Exhale...

Inhale...

Exhale...

You're not leaving. You're there. You're alive. You're alive. You're alive. You're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're aliveYou're alive

"You okay?" Your voice brought him back to life again. Trying to reassociate himself, Zhongli took note of his surroundings. Then, he took note of how your hands held his.

"What's this?" The question piqued his curiosity. You knelt down the floor and lifted something, but he could not see. He took another note again, his heart felt emptier. Emptier...

The Memory of Dust!

When you were back at his side again, his panic rose when he saw you holding the memento. His instonct told him to take it back, but the way you held it seemed... right.

"This... How did you get this? I had this when I was five then it suddenly went missing when I was sixteen. How did you get this?"

Zhongli steeled himself. It was now or never. "D-Don't you remember me...? Guizhong?"

And just like that, your name from long before along with the artifact unlocked the memories which presented themselves as dreams haunting you for so long.

You saw everything. A great golden dragon by your side. A man and a crane on a high mountain peak. Battles and deaths. Ballistas. The floating chamber. The death of the dragon. And most of all, the man by your side with you in a field of lovely glaze lillies.

With tears streaking your cheeks, you gingerly held the now glowing artifact. "Are you not going to open this yet?" You asked the man with a teasing grin and an equally teasing tone towards him.

Zhongli, still processing, could only blink at your question. "W-what?"

You chuckled at his state. "Has your brain finally eroded, Morax? I asked when are you going to open the Memory?"

Morax?

Zhongli swiftly pulled you into a hug as he buried his face on your shouldef. He was holding onto you for dear life as you reciprocated the gesture as well.

"It's really you..." Zhongli murmmured, voice muffled, when you took notice of the interval shivers of his body.

"Come on, please tell me those are happy tears?" You asked curiously, still caressing the long hair of his. Zhongli could only nod and you laughed once more.

The moment the man nodded, the Memory of Dust crumbled away and Zhongli understood.

A/n: brain dead thoughts empty but i need more guizhong lore but happiness is the way to go lol

[badass-at-fandoming]

Just Little Ventrue Things ~

I finished a Camarilla Ventrue run of VTMB. Mostly, the only thing Ventrue these days know how to do is Dominate, run screaming, eat hot chip, and lie, and [high falsetto voice] here’s a list of other nonsense I discovered:

PC’s name is Christina; she’s a Dominatrix because I’m bi. Her sire was one of her clients, and she’s actually very, very angry about his death. She doesn’t mind being a vampire. She’s Wiccan and part of a coven

In this Camarilla run, I decided I would only do quests given by Camarilla members. My justification was that, while Christina is intelligent and curious about lore, she focuses on tasks that immediately relate to her and her goals. She’s not curious about others; won’t go out of her way to talk to them. She’s not a bleeding heart, like my other PCs, and she believes in the Camarilla’s laws. She just hates LaCroix for killing her sire. Her plan during the game is to curry as much favor within the Cam as possible and cozy up to LaCroix so she can stab him.

Enough backstory

Nonsense time

Smiling Jack laughs at you if you don’t eat a rat in the tutorial. LOL. The Ventrue dialog is like “I could barely choke down the homeless man: please don’t make me eat a rat!”

The blood in the Santa Monica haven’s fridge is now blue blood. Does regular blood make Ventrue sick? I was too scared to experiment.

[spots Mercurio] I am going to steal that ghoul

Rosa: The people you’re looking for are up there. Christina, assuming Rosa is a Cam agent: Okay, thanks, bye

Never spoke to the Thin-Bloods again (sorry Lily baby ;-;)

Everyone except Julius still leaves when the PC reaches Hollywood

If you try to feed on Julius, he WILL kick you in the head and you WILL glitch into the fire, be on fire; run away screaming in Prada

You can skip the whole basement of the Ocean House Hotel if you manage to jump over the hole in the staircase???? Like?? You mean the spookiest fucking level has been optional this whole time I”M

[ghost appears] [Christina smacks it with an axe] None of that.

Club girls speak to Christina and I’m on the FLOOR

Therese “kills” Jeanette, even though I had enough oompa to make that not happen.

Therese joins the Camarilla and says she’s in good position to be the next Prince??? Hello??? Where is our Prince Voerman ending????

Went straight to LaCroix, called him “sir,” and he name-dropped Napoleon.

LaCroix tells Christina to go visit the Anarchs. She blows the Anarchs off (Nines made a growly face, Damsel dialog yowl-exited out after I asked if she wanted to join the Cam; Skelter threatened to murder me twice). When LaCroix told Christina that, while he admired her Cam loyalty, she must listen to her enemies to understand what they wanted, it felt like he was actually being a good sire and mentor.

That’s weird.

When Christina asked for his history, he very carefully explained his lineage, like the important part of Ventrue culture it is.

Overall, I found LaCroix-being-nice-to-me extremely unsettling.

Sir. Stop smiling at me, sir. Stop being impressed I don’t ask for money. STOP MAKING ME UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIKE YOU, SIR.

In contrast, LaCroix sounded genuinely betrayed at the end

Also made it more obvious when he started to lose track of his marbles

Ventrue PC seems juuuuuuust tall enough for her forehead to glitch into the ceiling of literally any confined space

The dirty Elizabeth Dane policeman didn’t psspspspsp at Christina so the whole ship was 15 white-knuckled minutes of making police dance and scuttling about

There is!!! A lot less!!! Talking in this game!!! Than I remember!!! She is only good at talking and ordering people around i am bEGGING

All EXP goes to Dominate and making Christina extremely charismatic and buff.

Ventrue himbo????

Beckett un-himbo-ifies her

She insults Beckett on their first meeting, spitting out “What do you want, wolfie?!” I thought this was appropriate because she died like, 4 times on that warehouse mission and was Extremely Stressed And Under Duress

Beckett’s response of “Oh, you’re too young to have mouthed off to the truly old ones yet.” makes his later snide remark of “the young ones are so temperamental” 900% funnier. Yeah, LaCroix! Beckett thinks I’ve grown and am now more mature than you! XD

Missions involving sex workers hit different when you’re a sex worker.

Christina was incandescent with rage at the Brotherhood

Grout’s mansion mission was a lot of “I have no interest in this nonsense.”

For the first time ever, I didn’t kill anyone during the Museum quest! This is because Christina ran very fast and Dominated every guard as quickly as possible. Every single fucking guard knew she was there, but could do nothing about it, because they were dancing. The door to the sarcophagus locked (it will do this if too many guards are agro), but locked doors are no match for noclip hack.

Entertaining image of a tall woman absolutely blasting into this museum room and Beckett tackling her to the floor like wait! I must snark at you! You are legally obligated to speak with me!

Isaac is still somehow a pretty chill guy to work with if you’re Camarilla.

Christina didn’t visit VV or Ash. Interestingly, Ash didn’t show up at the hunter monastery later. Did he just die in his club? Is he still there, waiting, deciding?

Christina @ Andrei: what the fuck is this shit

“I don’t care. It’s ugly. Clean it up.”

SEWERS.

Not as bad as I was expecting

Did take shortcut, run away from fights, ducked out in the middle for a snack, and bring 7 blue blood packs tho

Gary threatened to shred her face with a cheese grater, which I thought was Toreador only dialog?? It must be connected to the Appearance Stat. Which Christina has maxed out.

When Heather became Christina’s ghoul, I was delighted because I thought this meant Christina would always have fresh blood.

No

If you ask to feed on her too soon after the last time, Heather says she feels light headed and wants to lie down. The dialog exits out

I love you, Heather bb

Perfected the art of nudging NPCs into corners

Mitnick’s quests now feature Enforced Nap Time for all guards

Seriously, Dominate is ridiculously powerful, hooooly shit. I get why people like it. I also like it when people do things I ask them to do.

Christina can’t sneak, but she CAN strongly encourage everyone to choke on their own tongues.

Very high contrast in the beginning of the game: 2 punches would knock her over, but anyone she spoke to would obey immediately and without question

Chinatown goes by ridiculously fast if you can’t sneak and don’t do any sidequests besides Mitnick’s.

For the first time ever, Zhao survived! This is because Christina made him take a nap.

He just told her to leave

You’re welcome, my good dude

IDK if it’s a game glitch, but Christina would vocalize? In battle, she grunts with effort and pain.

Got to the point where I kept expecting Dominate dialog in every interaction and would get disappointed if it didn’t show up. What do you mean I have to actually convince people? That’s lame.

Christina was polite and charming to Ming Xiao, who also conveyed a deeper betrayal than normal at the end. ;-;

I promise to give you a Ventrue boy toy soon, Xiao

Finale arc quests went by VERY FAST because Christina can’t sneak for shit. Just run in, Dominate blazing

You can skip the outside bit of the Hallowbrook Hotel if you find the open door on the top level what the fuuuuuuuuuCK

[“A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” plays while Christina wipes out the Sabbat in 10 minutes]

Andrei disappeared mid-fight and didn’t come back until I complained that only I was allowed to run away from boss fights

I’m categorizing “triggering the interaction to save Heather” as something quite difficult to do. The timing has to be just right. I’ve missed it twice now. BUT hacking into the game to save her is easy.

I love you, Heather bb

Final Beckett talk had the vibe of “You’re a very different person than me, but you’re also High Humanity and trying to do good. You don’t deserve to die.”

Damsel threatens to kick the shit out of Christina and is extremely reluctant to tell her where Nines is

“Out of all people, they send you? All right, let’s just talk terms.” - Nines because Christina was short with him one (1) time

WEREWOLF HARD

You can just?? Walk out of your haven?? Without speaking to Jack at all???

I didn’t do that

But I could have

[”Dust in the Wind” plays while Christina kills entire Camarilla hit squad in 3 minutes]

You can visit Mercurio and Trip on your way out of Santa Monica??

Mercurio makes no comment on the blood hunt. Business as usual with him. This is fine.

Christina: I’m SO going to adopt that ghoul. And perhaps Isaac can be convinced to part with Romero...

(For the first time ever, my PC boinked Romero. Twice, to receive the break up email)

This is definitely a glitch, but Christina brushed up against Caine, and a worried voice said, “Are you all right?” It sounded like the same voice actor, but a higher pitch?

Always nice to think about Caine demonstrating care

Christina asked Caine who he is, and Caine replied that he “gets people where they’re going. [He’s] a driver,”  which is a nice nod (lol) to both his literal job as a driver and as a shepherd/creator/god to Kindred. Caine creates and makes fate.

Caine triple checks with Christina that she’s sure Strauss won’t betray her. Thanks, Vampire Dad. :’D

For some reason, only other Ventrue guarded LaCroix’s tower. I wonder if this is intentional. Like all the other Camarilla Clans backed Strauss and left? So only LaCroix’s Ventrue lackeys remain? Anyway, it created some weird moments where Christina fought her double.

KILL YOUR DOUBLE

Sheriff laughed in haughty joy that he was to kill Christina. I don’t remember him laughing in other playthroughs.

Christina ruining Caine and Jack’s prank oh noes
