dissecting the Emmrich graveyard scene below for how down bad they are for eachother

dissecting the alternate romance path dissecting the argument scene (lich path) dissecting the emmrich romance scene (lich path) emmrich x rook cinematic

find my original post here

we begin -

"I would hate to lose you whilst I am still mortal"

this line is directly after Rook questioning all the flirting and what that means for them should he become a lich. which Emmrich responds witht he above. this is a tough one for me to break down as either way Emmrich retains his soul, emotions, and thoughts if he becomes a lich. I believe this line is tied to the fact of being afraid Rook will not want him anymore once he explains his desire to be a lich, as alluded to throughout the rest of the scene.

this one is kind of self explanatory. Emmrich states that nothing will change if he becomes a lich, apart form the no death thing, but would still consider Rook in the decision.

then we are met with a sigh - this is a sigh of desperation. 'how do i choose my words so carefully that Rook see's my desire and doesn't shun me for it' - hence Emmrich goes on to explain what being a lich would mean in hopes rook will still desire him. (this becomes a big factor throughout the rest of the lich romance - desire)

'considerations'

as above, and again now with considering rook. now the first conversation cuts out after this. it is my belief that these considerations are considering Rook and their perspective, whilst also including the fact that it is later revealed that Emmrich might die during the rite, therefore losing Rook whilst still mortal. I believe this line is both a statement of care for Rook, and his fear od death.

throughout the quest, Rook asks Emmrich a bunch of questions, more so just filler content so Rook can understand lichdom and the process.

then Emmrich shows you something that is probably the closest thing to his heart before Rook. his parents graves. keep in mind that Emmrich had these made, and he engraved 'they walk eternity hand in hand'. Then the next shot is Rook and Emmrich walking side by side to the shrine.

walking eternity hand in hand is also mentioned in the lich romance scene,"find you in another world" aka the fade. this man has believed in soulmates for decades.

subtle conversation tactic of, 'what would you want me to be, rook'. here you either say happy with someone who cares about him, or break up with him (i do nOT reccommend).

simple to the point, emmrich is looking for subtle validation here for rooks feelings

and the fact that there is only one correct option is wild too.

If you choose, "Whatever you want", you reply by saying Happy. which very close to the romance committment line of "Happy with someone who cares for you."

Emmrich is looking for that connection so so badly, hence why only one option

Emmrich's gaze towards Rook as he asks them what shes wants, and baring his soul to her.

after committing - Emmrich does not look away from rook once.

rook is fucked. rook is head over heels in love and smitten with this man. keep in mind that throughout the rest of the game, there are conversations with companions where Emmrich will straight up shut them down when pressed about them 'moving too fast' or 'do you know what you are doing'. Emmrich is very clearly defensive about these things, which is so hot.

in my playthrough, they are necromancers, well aware of how short life is, especially facing the apocolypse. ofc they are going all in.

this man is gonna go home and jump up and down on his bed

do i need to explain this? the shrine of passion and devotion, the ETERNAL SHRINE.

anyway im really, really down bad for this dynamic and them. im also in love with my rook so that doesnt help.

ill most likely do a break down of each scene

[coffee-and-tea-time]

 Lovesick! Patient x Reader.

Can't you stay longer? ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨♡

Yes, you can…ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨♡

Coffee speaking! This is planned as a unwilling to willing but this part is with a full unwilling reader and Tea is healthy again :D so y'all also are less likely to find weird things in the posts lol

Hello! Tea speaking! Since 7UP is already uploaded (we gotta find them names later), it's now turn for my favorite! (Pepsi is better than Coke and you can fight me on that)

tw: yandere behavior, threats, this place should have better security, kidnapping?, deaths of a random person, unwilling reader, written in you/yours

It was only a cold, you just need to go to the hospital to get the certificate and maybe some paracetamol and then leave, easy, isn't it?

As you walk through the hallways of the hospital, you turn left, having a hard time trying to find your way yourself in this big hospital. It seems like your sense of orientation failed this time, as you bump into a man who is dressed in one of those hospital gowns patients wear.

“I’m so sorry sir, I-”

When you were just about to explain your situation, the look of the man before your eyes makes you shut the fuck up really quickly, his blue eyes looking at you seem off but the toothy smile creeping out of his face makes it looks even scarier… oh dear, what have you stepped into?

“I can’t believe they let you in without somebody to guard you… I’m really happy, I can’t believe I found my darling in such an abrupt manner”

You don’t understand half of his words, but one thing is for sure, you have to run as far as you can from this lunatic, but an unexpectedly quick grip on your wrists and a forceful pull towards the room he came from makes it impossible to scape.

The room is the usual hospital room with stretcher for patients to sleep on and medical equipment, you wonder how it can be that there's no doctor or nurse in sight to ask to supervise their patients, but you don’t have a lot of time to meditate about how bad the personal of the hospital is as the man makes you sit on a chair that was close to one of the beds.

“Oh, you are so so precious, for the first time in my life I’m really grateful for my luck; I promise to take care of you, the nurses can bring anything you want from outside the hospital gates… We can always break out of this place”

He says such a terrifying thing in such a loving tone that it makes you doubt your own mind for a moment, he doesn't seem like he's gonna harm you as he kneels to wrap his arms around you in a tender and caring hug as you keep sitting.

You take the chance, since he is too focused on hugging you and murmuring sweetly, to take a peek around the room to see if there's anything you can use, it seems like a room that was used some days ago, your eye catches some broken things on the corner of the room, making you wonder what happened here, but you can't afford be lost in your thoughts here, it may end up badly if you make the wrong move, you don’t have that much of an option though since you don’t know how stable this man is.

So, you scream, you scream bloody murder until you almost go out of oxygen in your lungs.

what a useless attempt to seek for help

“Mm? Did something happen Darling? Why did you suddenly scream so loudly? Did you get hurt on any part of your body? Do you need something? Maybe you want some kisses to ease your mind?”

Is he dumb?

You can’t help but look at him dumbfounded as he holds your face reassuringly. Then, a nurse enters the room and you don't waste the opportunity and start talking to them in a quick peace due to the nervousness of what will come.

“Excuse me, I had an appointed but ended up kind of lost and then here in this weird situation, I probably should go head home already”

The nurse looks kind of confused by the situation, but the pity in their eyes is noticeable as they quickly get closer, eager to help.

“I’m so sorry about this, I’m new here so I don’t know much but for some reason there is a warning about not wandering around here more that necessary, you must have been in a panic to see that no workers come here”

You foolishly calm down by their gentle voice as they attempt to get closer with a sympathetic smile from the black haired man, which gets up to stand in front of you while facing the nurse, preventing them from getting close to you.

“You are not gonna take my darling anywhere, my dear just got a little scared for a moment, we don’t need you here to bother”

“Sir, you need to go to your room, this person is not an inpatient, they have no reason to be here, there’s no need to make a fuss about this, so now you need to move aside so I ca-”

oh

You watch in shock as the man takes out a scalpel, the world seems to go into slow motion for a moment just to turn into high-speed a second later, you end up front seat to see how the man stabs the nurse’s neck and then quickly go for their chest, aiming for the heart, without blinking as his white clothes gets stained with red.

“Please forgive me Dear, it wasn’t my intention to show this kind of gruesome spectacle to your pretty eyes, let me guide you to my room, you can sleep there to forget all about this annoying insect, I can sing you a lullaby if that helps, I'm pleased to help”

He says as he gets closer to you again leaving the corpse behind him, lifting you up into his arms, not even seeming to be struggling with your weight, which took you by surprise as you grip him fearing you'll fall off, you don’t trust this man but you really don’t want to taste his patience or self proclaimed ‘love’ for you.

sorry for any misspellings or weird sentence structure ❣

Made a little sona for Our Life: now and forever !!!! And since we only got a bit of step 1 and a preview of step 2 for the demo I’ve gotta admit I’m absolutely destroyed this game is comin out next year LOL!!! Immediately whipped and in love with all the characters and now I’m stuck in dev hell so !! I drew this and will probably draw more moments of what I think might happen or just moments outside of the set script in the game

(Don’t mind rhe homosexual shit going on in the corner idk what happened, must’ve been a ghost)

Unfortunately I’ll be hit with the emo Ray but there’s not much you can do, I accidentally based it off of stuff I’d wear in middle school before remembering step 2 is set in the beginning of highschool (fml I only realized now while making the post like “wait a fucking minute” and I’ll reap what I’ve sewn ig) and I just wore pjs and sports clothes, like whatever was comfortable so the emo clothes stay for the ref… they’ll change later. (I was also mainly thinking about how skinny jeans were “in” in middle school even if I hate them now, I wouldn’t even dare to wear them in highschool man inaccurate as hell 💔)

Also these are like the initial doodles of the little avatar I made (I actually had a cherry red jacket irl but my ma donated it long ago so I was a bit happy to see it as a clothing option :3) but I think this little moment in the demo where qiu was explaining why I should join the club and I got like stunlocked by that piece of dialogue, esp with tamarack joining in I was like “if I was 10 I would’ve been COOKED” LMFAO.

But I thought it was silly cuz the dialogue option when I first met him I thought it would’ve been cute and on brand to be like “woah You’re so pretty” and then want to explode when the words leave my mouth. Erm Anywyas I’m really tired I’d say a lot more about my thoughts and already blooming love for the game but I’m tired so hopefully I can blabber more with more art next time yippieee

[coraniaid]

Top five btvs headcannons?

Hmm. Lots of options to choose from, but let's go with:

Of all the deaths we see on the show that the characters are weirdly blase about and never talk about again (which is most of them) the one I feel should matter most is Kendra's. The writers very obviously don't care about Kendra at all (in a way that makes me pretty angry if I think about it for long) but, at the same, the only way I can reconcile my idea of Who Buffy Is As A Person with the events of the post-Becoming seasons is to try to persuade myself that Buffy is thinking about Kendra a lot of the time, and that this meaningfully affects her relationship with Faith in Season 3 (and, for that matter, with Dawn in Season 5 and the Potentials in Season 7 too). Because, yes, Faith represents a lot of Buffy's own supressed thoughts and desires, and yes, there are lots of parallels in Season 3 between Faith and Angel. But the very fact Faith exists as a Slayer at all should be enough to remind Buffy of the Slayer who was called after her and died before her. How could that not bleed into her relationship with Faith as a person? How can Buffy not look at Faith and be constantly thinking of the Slayer she failed to save? (According to the show's writers, the answer is: very, very easily.[1])

Sort of a meta-headcanon (a headcanon schema?), but: as far as possible, I like to believe that the Buffy characters who are meant to be friends might actually talk to each other sometimes. And when we don't see various personal conflicts get resolved on screen, yet everything seems back to normal later (especially between seasons), I tend to assume they just talked things through a bit off-camera. Probably Buffy and Xander had a conversation after Dead Man's Party which involved him offering a grovelling apology, which is why they're still on speaking terms later that season. Probably Joyce and Buffy actually talked a bit about her being the Slayer before Faith, Hope & Trick, so that Joyce's claim to have "tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade isn't as absurd as it seems to be on the face of it". Probably Giles and Buffy talked about the Cruciamentum a bit after Helpless, which is why she's forgiven him by the time the next episode starts and she never brings his role up in it again. In particular, this is why I kind of hate the reveal in Season 7's Selfless that Xander never admitted to his Lie in Becoming, and that Buffy just spent the last five years thinking Willow decided to try to cast the spell to restore Angel's soul again without asking Buffy's permission or giving her any warning she was about to try it beyond "kick his ass".

There really isn't any evidence for it in canon and I suspect it's ultimately purely the invention of one of the early 2000s Fuffy writers, but I really like the popular fanfiction conceit that there is some sort of mystical connection between Slayers which (in a way that varies a little depending on the writer) gives them some additional awareness of the other Slayer's presence or emotional state. Not just because I'm enough of a sap to think that that's kind of romantic (although I am and I do), but because it's a nice way to explain away some slightly contrived bits of plotting in the show (all three Slayers have a way of finding each other very quickly when the plot requires it). In the same spirit, though with perhaps a little more evidence in canon, I like the idea that Buffy and Faith's shared dreams don't just happen when we see them, but have basically been going on ever since Faith arrived in Sunnydale (or at least since Faith's coma). Also, relatedly, I still like this headcanon I posted last month.

Sort of an anti-headcanon in some ways, but I refuse to accept that Buffy's memory of trying to tell her parents about vampires back in LA -- and being briefly institutionalized as a result -- (which was revealed/retconned in Season 6's Normal Again) is real. I think that (whatever the show claims) it had to have been a false memory implanted by the same demon that was giving her visions of still being there. Say what you like about whether or not the Joyce we see on the show was a good parent, but this is just blatant character assassination of the worst sort. It completely changes how we have to see Buffy's relationship with her mother and makes several scenes and outright plot points absurd (even if Joyce is the sort of monster who could forget about having her doctor locked up, even after learning that actually Buffy was always telling the truth, why would a Buffy who had been through that still keep a diary in the house she shares with her mother where she talked about the supernatural or prominently put up crucifixes in her house or make jokes about 'saving the world from vampires' when her mother asked her what she was thinking? why would she care about her mother's opinion of her at all? why would she wait until Season 2 to run away from home, and why would she ever come back?). Taken seriously, this just totally undermines a major part of Buffy's character and one of the most important relationships in her life. And for what? A stupid "maybe this is all a dream?" ending to the episode that means nothing and never goes anywhere. No, fuck that. Didn't happen and I simply refuse to believe it did. (I also strongly dislike the idea that it's a false memory caused by Dawn's presence; Dawn doesn't deserve to be blamed for that and her existence isn't meant to have had that big of an impact on the world.)

[1] Actually if I'm being totally honest I suspect that if you polled most of the show's writers with this question the answer you'd get back would be "who's Kendra?"

[praise-suns-and-chill]

On another post a few comments, mine included, had a little chat about what Mashita's thought proccess could have been, during the Confession in the second game.

So I decided to write a little One Shot about it!

This includes Spoilers for Case 7 in Death Mark 2, as well as the DLC of Death Mark 1.

THIS? 

"I'm not gonna be surprised by anything that comes out of his damn mouth." 

Well. 

Fuck. 

He was really eating those words now, huh. 

He could only stare with eyes ripped open as Yashiki explained, his words as trembling as his hands, his eyes avoiding everyone else. 

In fear of judgement? 

Probably. 

Shame? 

Definitely. 

This was wrong. 

This was wrong on every level. 

He was never one to stick to rules but this? 

MURDER??? 

Mashita couldn't even speak at first as Yashiki just continued explaining. No, there had to be something else, every second now he would mention that they did find that girl again alive, there had to be more, there had to be. 

This was wrong. 

But there wasn't. 

There wasn't and he looked as guilty as ever. Having just confessed. 

To murder. 

"You must be kidding me." 

Words uttered in pure disbelief. 

This wasn’t happening. 

There is no way. 

"To think you'd kill someone..." 

Actually, he didn't want to think about that. Not a single bit.  

Yes, everyone had the potential to murder, he knew that better than most, but this was Yashiki. Compassionate to a stupid, suicidal degree Yashiki. 

"Don't blame him for that! He was controlled by the Departed!" 

Oh great, the brat was talking. Mashita glared at her out of reflex alone. 

Why the fuck was she so defensive anyways? Nobody would react like that after their best friend just got killed, what kind of weirdo was this girl??

"Insanity or not, murder is still murder", he snapped back, before his eyes stared back at Yashiki. 

He felt more like he was the one going insane, his mind completely elsewhere as old training just kicked in. 

It was the only thing that made sense right now. 

"Article 199, a person who kills another person is punished by the death penalty or life imprisonment or for a definite term of no less than five years." 

He felt sick of even thinking of this as an option. He rattled down those words out of pure habit, as he had many times before, in the Academy back in the day and his job later. 

"I'd slap the cuffs on you myself if I had them with me." 

He should, but he wouldn't. Why was he saying that, he wouldn't, because Yashiki would never kill anyone. 

God fucking damnit. 

His heart was racing as fast as his mind, his entire body tense, ready to spring at the threat and yet violently rejecting the very notion that there was a threat to begin with. 

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong, fuck! 

But Yashiki? 

Everyone else, maybe. 

He'd believe Shou, not planned but in affect, too impulsive. Ai too, stronger than she looked, against a stalking fan maybe. Daimon? Doctor, there was always a chance of malpractice. Yasuoka? That old hag definitely had a skeleton in her closet somewhere, if only because she dug it up once because the bones had some weird powers. 

The man who watched the only friends he had get attacked? 

The man who watched his friends get controlled to attack him? 

The man who watched half his friends get cursed into a coma and nearly die. 

The man who was nearly killed himself by the same goddamn spirit.  

The same man who after ALL THAT, still trembling in shock and trauma, barely aware of his own body, STILL refused to think about himself, just for fucking ONCE. 

The same man who looked at a dead spider, the remains of that goddamn spirit and still decided to show compassion to it before ANYTHING else-! 

...

Oh. 

Of course. 

And his body instantly relaxed, as did his mind.  

It didn't make any sense, possession or not. He would never do it. So he didn't. 

"...Let me just say one thing." 

It wasn't like him to get distracted. He had nearly forgotten what case they were even working on. 

"The law only applies if the victim is human." 

[fthechantry]

So a post by @zevsurana reminded me of my anger toward Bioware for not giving you the option to marry Dorian at the beginning of Trespasser, or at any point during Trespasser. Like.. Dorian and the Inquisitor is one of the best romances in that godforsaken game and the only marriage options are Sera and Cullen. Even just a quick little proposal from the Inquisitor when he thinks he is dying and Dorian accepting while crying and thinking his love is going to die. Just some sort of promise of the continuation of their relationship.

Dorian has never loved/been loved before so he doesn’t think that marriage is in the cards for him and the Inquisitor proves to him that he is worthy of love and that he can do anything he sets his mind to. Instead, they have him leave the love of his life to go back to Tevinter without him because he “needs to do it on his own”. I just can’t get over this fact at all. 

When the mark is killing the Inquisitor, Dorian has some of the most heart-wrenching dialogue that proves he cares SOOOO much, but no, can’t marry the man. Even though he deserves it.

Dorian: *clearly holding back tears*  Why didn’t you say anything? I could have done.... something. 

Inquisitor: I wouldn’t trade the years we’ve spent together for anything.  I love you, Dorian.

Dorian: *stifling crying* I knew you would break my heart, you bloody bastard. 

They even hint at the fact that they could have/should have been married in Trespasser with a romanced Dorian stating:

Dorian: Cold stone, dark tunnels, and surrounded by extremely hostile Qunari.

Dorian: Not the place I'd have chosen for a romantic homecoming.

Inquisitor: Wandering into peril is practically how we met.

Dorian: Oh, yes. Practically a second honeymoon.

Like this is so not fair and shows Bioware’s opinion that mages are not allowed to be happy and that love is only a game for them. There is literally no other reason for you not to be able to marry him. If it was because he would appear in later games, this makes no sense because you can marry Alistair and he shows up without the Warden giving an excuse as to where they are at all times. So, Bioware, explain.

Welcome to your life - Pt 1:

Everybody Wants To Rule THEIR World - Ch 2:

Summary:

"You need only close your eyes to it and be happy and safe with us."

The Keeper (player) has already secured the repository and Sebastian's loyalty, emboldening his descent into darkness. Now, they just need to win over Ominis, cure Anne, and create a domain to call their own.

And not necessarily in that order.

The Keeper's tale, a post-game story of a morally-grey, pragmatic, Chaotic Neutral, non-binary, muggleborn, orphan player character, so burned by 1800s orphanages, that they became a power hoarder who demands more payment for quests, burns paintings but doesn't want to rule the world, just their own territory and the two boys who'd caught their eye.

Warnings: Sebastian x MC x Ominis! Spoilers! Dark content! Slow-burn canon-compilant corruption! Fucked up 1800s orphanages! MC has no love for Anne or Solomon! Dubious happy ending (it's happy for MC, Seb and Ominis at least)

You can also read on AO3! (chapter specific warnings below)

Notes:

Warnings: Mentions of murder, mentions of past sexual assault.

I understand why the developers would only give the player options that say Sebastian did something wrong by killing his uncle. Naturally they're not going to endorse murder of one's guardian in their game no matter what.

However, no matter how you look at it, a main character who chooses to absorb the repository wouldn't be someone who would talk about Sebastian having a chance to change his path or move on. They would see no problem with Sebastian's pursuit of power and dark arts and changing his fate or specifically Anne's fate. So, I've tweaked the dialogue accordingly.

Also, fyi, Bobby is a British slang word for police.

The Keeper stepped into the Undercroft, glancing over towards the back to confirm that the Repository was still intact and safely hovering at the back of the large hall.

They scanned the chamber for Sebastian, spotting his familiar figure standing by a stack of crates. The Keeper strode towards him without hesitation, unsurprised to see that he was observing the Repository warily.

"Sebastian, I received your owl." The Keeper spoke as they approached, they'd never been one for pleasantries and they appreciated that Sebastian never seemed to mind.

"I'm guessing that you're to thank for the latest addition to the Undercroft's decor?" He asked, turning to face them, his eyes curious and a brow raised.

"I am, and I shall explain that later. First, what happened?" They placed their hands together and waited.

"Right…" Sebastian's expression immediately fell, and the Keeper noted their own displeasure at the sadness on his face. "Ominis spoke with Anne about what happened with my uncle Solomon. She believes I should pay for what I did, but she won't turn me in. She said the guilt I'll have to live with is punishment enough."

The Keeper frowned. Sebastian should pay for what he did? Punishment? What on earth was Anne thinking? Sebastian killed Solomon for her. His own flesh and blood, and now she was upset at him?

It wasn’t as though Anne hadn't seen how the man treated Sebastian, did she simply love her uncle more than her twin? Perhaps she had spent too long with Solomon as her only caregiver and had become poisoned against her brother.

The Keeper could understand if Anne was squeamish, not everyone was cut out for gore and violence, but ingratitude?

It looked like they would have to revise their opinion of her. Pity, they'd thought rather highly of Anne when she'd spoken of releasing Sebastian from his burden of curing her. Not that she'd actually done anything to prove that she had ever truly intended to do so.

"Surely she understands that you acted in self-defence? That man fired confringos at us!" The Keeper replied, not bothering to keep the incredulity from their voice.

Sebastian shook his head miserably. "I guess not… perhaps she feels I should have used another spell…"

"Rubbish. Only a fool would allow someone who attacked them the chance to finish the job. Anyone who raises their wand against another should be ready to die." The Keeper grimaced, how pampered that girl must be to not understand murder in self-defence.

Solomon had basically pointed a gun at them and even fired a few rounds into their limbs. Were they to simply wait for a fatal shot? The Keeper had seen enough beggars come to blows for their dinner to know that pitiful seeming people were rarely harmless, and Solomon was a retired auror, a soldier!

If he was trying to disarm them or restrain them, he should have done so with ease, instead he used damaging spells against them and injured them, enough to require multiple wiggenweld potions!

Unheeding of their pleas for him to stop attacking two fifteen year old children, one of whom was his own nephew! Did family and blood truly count for so little to that unreasonable man?

At least Ominis had the excuse of not having witnessed the ferocity with which Solomon had attacked them. He'd even said "poor Sebastian" as Sebastian left the Undercroft that day. Proving that, while he did not approve of Sebastian's actions, Ominis clearly understood that Sebastian was not fully to blame.

They did agree with Ominis that Sebastian shouldn't delve further into dark arts. At least for now, while they were in school, and he definitely shouldn't be killing in front of naive and sheltered people, like Anne apparently was.

It was easy to say what one should or shouldn't do, until you were the one facing the possibility of death, at the hand of a beloved family member no less.

While the Keeper didn't entirely agree with Ominis' sense of moral justice, they also understood that he was responding irrationally strongly towards Dark Magic due to his childhood trauma. Oh how they wished to relieve him of those irrational fears, but such thoughts were best left for another time.

The Keeper shook their head. "Perhaps she has spent too long in the company of an ex-auror. If they're anything like a muggle bobby, then he's full of self-righteous pipe dream moral standards. Perhaps she mistakenly believes he wasn’t actually trying to kill us."

"Perhaps… either way, I think I've lost my sister, my twin, forever." Sebastian pressed a hand to his forehead, his jaw tight and his shoulders trembling. "She refuses to even see me."

"Oh Sebastian… I'm afraid Anne may never be able to forgive you." They murmured, tempted to draw him into an embrace but refraining for the moment. "But at least she's still alive. For now, at least."

Sebastian looked up in alarm at their wording, anxiety sparking in his eyes.

The Keeper felt for him, it must be so hard to be so badly misunderstood by the person he was so devoted to. Truly Anne didn't deserve him, but Sebastian needed her, so the Keeper would do what they could for her too.

Whether she liked it or not.

"Did Ominis say who would be taking care of her now?" The Keeper asked thoughtfully.

Sebastian shook his head. "Ominis brought me a note from her, she said she's leaving Feldcroft but she didn't say where she was going. We don't have any relatives left so I can't be sure if anyone will be caring for her at all."

They frowned. "That's concerning, in her condition she wouldn't be able to defend herself from robbers or… worse men. If she gets injured, who would get her to St Mungo's?"

Sebastian paled, his jaw tightening and his fists clenching, but said nothing. No doubt frustrated that Anne had rejected his protection at her own peril.

The Keeper glanced at the repository. They hadn't planned to make the offer so soon, but for Sebastian…

"Sebastian. You still wish to save and protect her, correct?" The Keeper asked, drawing his attention.

"I- yes. Even if she can't forgive me. Even if she can't bear the sight of me. I have to save her, she's my twin." Sebastian's eyes burned with resolve. How admirable.

The Keeper nodded, it would be worth it. For Sebastian.

Besides, while it would be nice to only focus on self-sustainability for a bit, they'd probably get bored eventually without a stimulating project. Curing her would surely be interesting, with the added benefit of further entwining their future with that of Sebastian's and Ominis'.

Not to mention, they were also curious to explore what they could do with their Ancient Magic.

"You recall the pain that Isidora extracted in the memory we viewed. Yes?" The Keeper asked instead.

Sebastian blinked at the seemingly sudden change in topic but folded his arms thoughtfully with a nod. "I'm assuming that orb over there contains the pain she collected. An awful lot more of it than I expected, to be honest."

Such a clever boy, the Keeper thought to themselves, pleased that he was catching on quick.

They nodded. "As I said in my letter, Isidora's method is flawed, resulting in a person losing all their emotions, not just pain."

Sebastian nodded. "Which makes her method unsuitable for curing Anne. Thus, I resorted to using the relic, without much success."

"You really shouldn't have done that on your own, things might have gone differently if I had been with you." They couldn't help but shoot back, still mildly irritated that Sebastian had left them out.

Sebastian winced, looking appropriately chastised. "I didn't want to keep relying on you, you've already done so much for me-"

"Do you really think I'm keeping count? I thought we were partners working together for each other's ends." Okay. Perhaps they were more than mildly irritated.

"We are! I just-" Sebastian protested.

"Then why would you think I wouldn't want to see this through to the end, by your side!?" The Keeper couldn't stop their frustration from bleeding into their voice. "Ominis, I can understand but why leave me out!?"

"Because I didn't want to risk something going wrong and hurting either of you!" Sebastian burst out, startling them into silence.

"I thought-" Sebastian sighed, running a hand through his hair in agitation. "I thought Anne understood, I thought she felt like I did, that we needed to find a cure for her at any cost. So of course she had to be there, but I didn't want to endanger you or Ominis."

Sebastian's eyes met theirs and they were taken aback by the emotions swirling around in there. "I didn't want either of you to die if I failed. I realised it after you told me about the side-effects of using Ancient Magic to remove pain. Curing Anne is my duty, my burden, not yours."

The Keeper sighed, feeling the anger bleed out of them. "I suppose you didn't even realise that you hadn't managed to control all the Inferi."

Sebastian shook his head ruefully. "I thought I had. I was glad to see you at first. Thought I'd get to show you that I'd succeeded on my own. I should have known you would make it through a horde of Inferi without breaking a sweat."

"You can be so daft sometimes. We're in this together, you've helped me in carrying out my duty as a Keeper. Your burdens are mine too." They smiled, unable to hide their affection for this foolish boy.

Sebastian's cheeks flushed slightly, unsure if he was misinterpreting the weight of those words, and the Keeper shook their head, deciding to return to the subject at hand.

"Anyway, as I was saying, her method is flawed but I think I know why. During the other Keepers' memory of the event, I could see the rest of her father's emotions trickling out from the point where she'd extracted the pain."

The Keeper began pacing thoughtfully, pleased that Sebastian wasn't interrupting their tale this time. He was learning.

"Her method seemed to have worked, since her father thanked her, but I believe she was too focused on the pain to notice that she had left a gaping hole in his soul, allowing his emotions to gradually empty over time."

"Professor San Bakar killed her later with the killing curse during a confrontation between her and the Keepers, when they realised that she was using the technique on her students without permission. Isidora had been absorbing the pain like a drug, and her power was strong enough at that point, that I doubt the Keepers would have survived if he hadn't used the killing curse."

The Keeper paused here, watching Sebastian's eyes widen at the revelation that someone else had used the Killing Curse for good, to protect, like he had. They took a moment to place a supportive hand on his shoulder.

"I told you, you did the right thing. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't killed Solomon." The Keeper whispered comfortingly as Sebastian took a shuddering breath.

He nodded after a moment, gratitude and assurance bringing some life back into his eyes.

The Keeper felt sympathy for him, their first kill, almost two years ago now, had shaken them up too. They'd stared at their hands, watching them tremble before looking over the balcony to where the sick paedophile had fallen.

It had taken them weeks to come to terms with what they had done, but eventually, when that awful man was replaced with a more humane workhouse manager, they understood that they'd done the right thing. Some people simply deserved death, for the good of the many.

Satisfied that Sebastian had overcome his momentary emotional lapse, they continued.

"Thus, I believe it might be possible to use Ancient Magic to cure Anne without her losing her emotions. We just need to find a way to close the hole that pain-removal creates."

Sebastian's jaw went slack, his eyes near glimmering with hope.

"It will take experimentation and time, however. Time Anne might not have if she's alone out there-"

"I'll find her." Sebastian cut them off, his eyes set with determination, blazing with his usual fire. "I'll search for her and we can cure her together. Nothing is too great a cost to save her life."

"Even if she resists?" The Keeper challenged, watching his expression carefully. "I would need to use human test subjects to experiment with my power upon."

Sebastian swallowed, his expression uncertain for only a moment, before hardening with resolve and he nodded. "She'll understand when we succeed in curing her, and she doesn't need to know about the test subjects."

The Keeper nodded in agreement, pleased with his response. "We'll need a place to work in secret, and I need a place to hide the Repository. With the power in it to supplement my own Ancient Magic, I shouldn't have much difficulty creating a fortress, with research and time. So, for now, we simply need to find a suitable place to create our home."

Sebastian's ears turned red at the last two words, his eyes scrutinising them curiously.

The Keeper ignored it, allowing him to come to whatever conclusion he liked. They wanted him, but they were patient. Though it certainly pleased them to see him react so adorably to their implications.

"Would you be alright with Ominis joining us? If he wants to, I mean." Sebastian asked hesitantly. 

The Keeper smiled. "Of course, I plan to make our home large enough for all four of us to live comfortably after we graduate."

Sebastian grinned, his clear excitement over the idea was incredibly endearing. They hoped Ominis would be amenable to their offer, though they were rather sure he would eventually cave regardless, his loyalty to Sebastian was too strong.

Yes, the Keeper would create their own little slice of heaven for everything that was theirs.

Notes:

To be clear, the Keeper did not actually see the rapist they killed die. They pushed him off the balcony and were busy staring at their hands in shock as he fell off the side. They only saw the aftermath of him hitting the floor, thus they still couldn’t see thestrals until Fig's friend, Osric, died.

Also, I just wanna say that I don't hate Anne. I believe in hating actions/decisions not people, and she's kinda just the complete opposite of the Keeper with the way I'm writing them, and I don't like how many people seem to forget that she never put her foot down about "not wanting to be cured" with Sebastian.

I also think she overreacted to Solomon's death. Sebastian had already dropped his wand, the only purpose throwing him into the wall with a depulso served was hurting him. Plus, like the Keeper said, self-defence kills are easy to judge when you're not the one facing the business end of the barrel of a gun.

We often forget that the wand is more than an amazing tool, once it's pointed at you, the chance that the next spell out of it can kill you, makes it equivalent to a gun. If someone approaches you aggressively in a fight, do you really wait for the person to shoot before you shoot them? On the chance that they may not shoot you?

My partner was in the army and they were taught that you fire once as a warning and then the next shot is to the head, but the commander told him that realistically, the first shot is to the head, then a second shot for the report, so you can say you fired a warning shot, because you can't take the risk.

At least this is the Keeper's perspective xD

Falling Cards Paradise within Reach Pages 111-125

I'm still debating on if I wanna do a "Falling Cards director's commentary" style thing like FSR rambles and Creations but obnoxiously explained but here's a few things I just wanna say for now, more under the cut:

...People on Webtoon never got Bat was an angel and I will never forgive them for expecting me to spell that out when it's so damn obvious.

So no btw it is not explained in the text as of rn and there's 300+ pages lmfao. It was meant to be OBVIOUS which is why I have not been shy about calling him an angel while posting here.

Ball is dense and ignorant about Paradise and by extension Bat here, that's the joke. Ball isn't knowledgeable about things he reasonably has no clue about as a random dead dude in PURGATORY.

Ball's "Lovely thought process" is supposed to get a laugh out of you about how SILLY it is, and Bat's CLEAR and strong OFFENSE to this line of thought is meant to be funny, as Paul ignores him and keeps talking.

Paul further doesn't fully get Bat brought him to a fucking love hotel which is just further funny, because Ball, is kinda dense.

But considering people on Webtoon genuinely gasped and said "HIS NAME IS PAUL!?" every single time Paul's real name was said, I'm not surprised they never got Bat was an angel.

You can call him Paul or Ball btw both work.

Sorry about being negative this shit just frustrated me for 2+ years and I'm letting that all out now lmfao.

If you're curious about Ball's age, I picture him around 20-40 age wise. His age is confusing because he was a human for 22ish years and has been a doll for 20. HOWEVER his human memories are muddy and that's expanded upon later. Soooo, I just joke he's a 40 year old man for simplicity but he doesn't always act that old for a reason.

Also getting carded for shit is just smth I relate to as someone with a baby face. Another thing that pissed me off that I got reminded of here and if you're an artist this will probably infuriate you too:

Someone genuinely tried to argue with me, HIS CREATOR Bat doesn't have bones. Example number 1 why you should never argue with me about characters you didn't write and I literally made:

He outright conforms he HAS bones and can feel them...

Right here.

You can go back and read shit if you are ever confused about these characters. Like, that's an option. Instead of arguing with me about YOUR ignorance.

I've retconned some stuff but like...He literally always HAD bones. HE HAS ONE IN HIS NECK THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT LATER WHAT KIND OF DRUGS DO YOU GOTTA BE ON TO TRY AND GASLIGHT THE CREATOR ABOUT THEIR OWN CREATION?

All the retcons have been about stuff that literally you would never notice as it wasn't STATED yet or was lose enough as an end I could change it and it would be impossible to tell btw...lmao.

Random: A gamer’s diary entry for October 2023!

While I finish writing, and playing, my next backlog games I’m excited to add to the wishlist ‘Little Goody Two Shoes’. Which looks like it’s going to be getting a physical release. (Which I won’t be picking this game up until the physical drops. I already know I’ll like it.)

One of my favorite YouTube channels called Nostalook worked on the trailer (and I think the in game cutscenes as well) and their work is stunning as usual. It really captures the 90s anime look. It deeply reminds me of Princess Maker.

Also it’s a shoujo yuri. Female romancable characters only! (And they’re all so ✨ PRETTY ✨) I can’t explain how HAPPY that makes me. I just hope it stays in an innocent direction.

You know, because in majority yuri isn’t made for women. 😐

I get it, but at the same time I feel locked out of the content because it’s so obviously not for me. But that’s a complaint for a different post on a different day! Makes me wonder if men feel the same way about yaoi.

I was very bad this month. There were a lot of physical sales. And then my preorders for new games rolled in. I always prioritize my physical games over my… “digital” games, so those will be in the front of my backlog!

Let’s take a look at what I picked up! (I paid full price for nothing on this list. I am wickedly good at finding deals and coupons. Which upon review I will attempt to pass onto you!):

Traumatarium

Dredge

Omori

FaeFarm

Inescapable

Sonic Superstars

Coffee Talk 2

Moon A Remix RPG

I’m already playing a few of these games, so my reviews on those should be out next week!

I decided to skip this month’s two biggest releases altogether until about next year. I want the GOTY Spider-Man 2 when it comes with all of the DLC for $20. The first one was amazing. I’m just willing to wait on it. Which is a similar story for Mario Wonder. I mostly use the fall season to get all the titles I’ve been wanting for a freaking sick deal. Why should I have to pay full price?

The older I get, the more I feel like I appreciate weird games and indie titles more anyway. I feel like those other projects have the freedom to take more aesthetic risks than the big companies. Not because of the creatives inside (They tend to always have good ideas), but the stockholders. 🙄

I adore some of these triple A titles to my core, but I crave to see more new things too. Different things.

Dave The Diver is a good example. That seems rad. I like ocean games. I like that we get more of them now. I’m gonna wait and see if that one gets a physical as well. You collect fish to go back to your restaurant to make sushi? Sign me up!

Don’t even get me started on Limited Run’s releases this month.

While ‘Persona 4’ and ‘This Way Madness Lies’ are no brainers for me; I was EXTREMELY on the fence about ‘Persona 3 Portable’. (I did pick it up reluctantly)

The remake of Persona 3 will be upon us soon and I don’t know if I’ll want to play P3P again. The problem lies in the fact that most of these games become much more expensive later. Buying it on “launch” from Limited Run usually IS the cheaper option.

That shit annoys me so bad. I don’t like picking up games for value. But because the game might be value I have to be ahead of the scalpers and pay for it at its maybe cheapest.

I collect games because I like ‘em. I want to play them and love them. I want to use my stuff. I don’t give a fuck about the “value”. I respect the folks that do care about that stuff but I plain just don’t.

But that’s also just kinda life. Not much can be done about other people. You can only truly control yourself. 🙄

Overall October has been an exceptionally excellent month for gaming! We’ve had so much good stuff come out this fall season. I’m excited for next month as well! Super Mario RPG will be making its re-debut and I can’t wait to talk about that one!

[autogynocrat]

Ok, so did you always know that you were trans or did that happen much later in your life? The reason why I’m asking is that I’ve suddenly been hit with what I’m pretty sure is gender dysphoria, and it’s driving me nuts. I hate being male. I hate looking at myself, hearing myself talk, etc., etc. Problem is, I didn’t start feeling this way until 2-3 months ago. What should I do?

my road was a winding one with a lot of turns and it took me a while to figure out

in hindsight with context i can look back and see that i've had trans-y thoughts since at least 15 and am now like "huh. that explains a lot" but i didnt really figure it out until later. can go into more details about this in another post if u want, or privately

ive been dysphoric since about 20? but i didnt recognize it as dysphoria until about 25 i just had this general feeling of malaise about how masculine my body felt. something felt wrong and gross and it made me not wanna get out of bed some days when it was really bad. i didn't think i was trans but i did think that if i ever did somehow lose my balls i would rather transition at that point instead of taking testosterone replacement therapy because i'd have nothing to lose and i'd rather not be a man.

if its an option for you i would recommend going to a therapist who specializes in lgbt and gender stuff but otherwise idk. talk to trans people who are willing to talk about it, about what dysphoria feels like to them, and see if it sounds like how you feel. maybe experiment with your gender presentation. if it alleviates the feelings maybe youre trans idk

Man Of Steel References Honoring The Snyderverse In Blue Beetle Explained

Blue Beetle will feature references to Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, and the movie's director explains the choice. Snyder's Man of Steel started the DCEU back in 2013, with Henry Cavill's Superman being the shared universe's first hero. While the Blue Beetle movie is not part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe, Xolo Maridueña's Jaime Reyes is the new DC Universe's first movie character. That parallel between Blue Beetle and Man of Steel is not the only connection between the two movies.

During an interview with Nestor Betancor (via The Direct), Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto revealed that the movie will have references to Man of Steel.

According to Soto, he was excited to see Snyder hype fans to see Blue Beetle, as he respects the DCEU's former architect, saying, "his films are an immense influence." The Blue Beetle director then went on to reveal that his movie has "some references to 'Man of Steel' that we made out of honor and respect for the work and art of Zack Snyder." Check out the full quote below:

“Waking up in Mexico to the news that [Zack] Snyder wants to see it too, a director that I respect so much, that his films are an immense influence… Even in 'Blue Beetle,' there are some references to 'Man of Steel' that we made out of honor and respect for the work and art of Zack Snyder. Also, seeing David Ayer sharing it… It’s like, ‘WOW, brother!’ How nice it feels to have that support from people that one respects and that the fans also respect.”

Why Blue Beetle Having Man Of Steel References Is Bad

While Man of Steel is a good movie, and there are similar themes between Cavill's Superman debut and Blue Beetle, the new DC film would be better off not referencing the DCEU's first entry at all. Gunn and Safran were brought in to oversee the newly founded DC Studios to go away from the controversial decisions made by the former management during the DCEU.

Snyder did not actively work on any project for DC — other than the popular Snyder Cut of Justice League — after he departed 2017's Justice League. However, Snyder's DC movies are heavily associated with most of the controversial decisions that led to the DCEU not being as successful as it should have been. With the DCEU now being rebooted in favor of the new DC Universe, Blue Beetle referencing Man of Steel adds some unnecessary baggage to the movie.

Blue Beetle needs to be a breath of fresh air to the franchise, with the movie's standalone story and debut of a new hero being the perfect setup for its success, and adding in references to a movie from the controversial DCEU might hurt the film's box office chances. DC's other two 2023 releases so far, Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash bombed in great part due to its DCEU connections. Remaining largely standalone, with perhaps Blue Beetle's post-credits scenes giving a peek at the new DC Universe, seems like the best option for the movie to succeed."

This is such bullshit. First the Anti-Anerican narrative for Bane. Now this.

Riffle me this: IF Warner Bros Discovery were truly serious about a DC reboot, a clean slate, why would they allow Soto to put Snyderverse references in Blue Beetle?

(From May 2, 2006)

Warner Bros.'s upcoming Justice League franchise is looking a little shaky these days.

Last week, Seth Grahame-Smith, the director of The Flash movie, which is scheduled for 2018, left the project, citing creative differences. And there have been rumors that director James Wan is getting cold feet with his Aquaman movie (which Wan later dispelled).

The turmoil reportedly stems from director Zack Snyder, the man who bungled Batman v Superman, a film that Warner Bros. believes didn't live up to expectations at the box office. Snyder is also the creative lead for the Justice League franchise and part of the Warner Bros. braintrust for the DC Comics cinematic universe. Ergo, because Batman v Superman disappointed, executives are now worried that Snyder's vision — a grim Superman, a Batman who tortures and brands people for death, lots of scenes in which Batman does Crossfit, etc. — isn't the best way to go.

But Snyder's plans for his comic book superhero movies shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, including critics. Back in 2008, Snyder gave a revealing interview to Entertainment Weekly about how he sees comic books, superheroes, and his upcoming movie (at the time) The Watchmen. The piece has been making the rounds on Twitter for how much it traces the psychology of Snyder's movies, from older titles like The 300 and Suckerpunch all the way through Batman v Superman.

The Q&A touches on a lot of different topics, but one of the most striking parts of the discussion comes when Snyder talks about his dislike for comics without gore or sex. He said:

You could call it "high-brow" comics, but to me, that comic book was just pretty sexy! I had a buddy who tried getting me into "normal" comic books, but I was all like, "No one is having sex or killing each other. This isn’t really doing it for me." I was a little broken, that way. So when Watchmen came along, I was, "This is more my scene."

Snyder not liking comic books where people don't kill each other explains his Superman; traditionally, Superman's entire existence is about inspiring and being bright and hopeful, but Snyder's iteration of the character kills someone in Man of Steel.

Later in the interview, Snyder talks about Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, revealing that if he'd been at the helm, he would have gone a lot darker than Nolan did by incorporating prison rape:

Everyone says that about [Christopher Nolan’s] Batman Begins. "Batman’s dark." I’m like, okay, "No, Batman’s cool." He gets to go to a Tibetan monastery and be trained by ninjas. Okay? I want to do that. But he doesn’t, like, get raped in prison. That could happen in my movie. If you want to talk about dark, that’s how that would go.

It's a mystery why Snyder believes that prison rape, sex, and death are what people want to see in superhero films — that comic book fans who love Superman really wanted to see him start killing people, or that Batman fans would really relish seeing the greatest detective alive not be able to tell the difference between a boat and a crime lord.

There's a reason these superheroes and their comics have endured. And even when Frank Miller and Alan Moore introduced grit and darkness into their worlds, it wasn't darkness for darkness's sake — which is what Snyder seems to be obsessed with.

Of course, the most baffling part of all this is that unless a shakeup happens at Warner Bros., Snyder is very close to making all of his terrible ideas come true."

[anothersebastianblog]

"I'm pissed because THIS kind of behaviour helped create AND prolong a pandemic?" I understand how you feel. I just vehemently disagree. The one point that is true about him being wealthy is that he could travel much more safely than 90 percent of us. (Wealth is why there was a huge difference between going to the beach at Fort Lauderdale and going to the beach in Ibiza.) Sebastian Stan didn't create or prolong the pandemic. He stayed in NYC lockdown when NYC was in lockdown. And followed the rules for travel, including the options specifically designed to allow rich people to travel, which explains Tulum. I'm not "defending" him because I think he can do no wrong. But if you're still pissed at this point, I just don't care. It's weird to still be this invested in still criticizing him about that two years later. But if you are, you are. I'm still entitled to express my very different opinion though.

// Anon, on Ibiza alone he was seen with multiple different people during his stay. That alone already calls into question the "wealthy man can stay safer"-idea. Inigo Onieva posted about how 25(!) friends of his on Ibiza contracted Covid, and during Sebastian's stay there, they already had to bring mandatory mask-wearing on the Island back. Sebastian as a sole individual didn't prolong the pandemic, but with his behaviour he was part of the large group that did. I don't know how this simple fact just won't get through to you. I am not pissed about him two years later. I am currently getting pissed about people like YOU denying simple reality and rationality over one guy who should have known better. THAT is weird.

[yourlocalarabgirlie]

Wth are you going on about? First of, I don't have a child with autism, I have no clue how you came to that conclusion but let's not assume things we don't know about, ok? Its ignorant. Also i don't need to experience this to know killing babies is wrong, just like I don't need to be raped to know it was horrible. You were taking my comment completely out of context. I never gave my economical outlook on anything, and I also don't believe people should be forced to pay for services they don't want, i never even implied such thing so stop straw manning. You are creating your own caricature of my arguments and attacking it so how about we stick to what we're talking about. Also, she wasn't the one who terminated it, it was the gay couple who withholded healthcare because they still had legal ownership of the child and soon the baby died. They murdered the baby.

And what do you mean "it was a fetus without heart" ? You don't know what you're talking about here, she had already conceived the baby, and then it died. So it was very much alive and had a heart lol! If it was just a fetus then explain how the homosexual couple managed to cremate it? I already went into detail on this in the comment section of the post so if you're interested, go read them because I'm not going to repeat the same things again. Though, if you refuse to read what I said previously and just go off based on why you believe my beliefs are wrong then I simply won't respond back to you, because you are not willing to engage in the discussion but just take the conversation off the rails and putting words in my mouth.

Also how am i judging the mother, please explain?because I clearly said she was a victim of this too but as a surrogate, she played a partial role in all this. I am against surrogacy because children are not for sale. It's nothing more than an inhumane exchange that uses women's bodies as objects and treats babies as a commodity. In the comment section, i mentioned something like: the mother is a surrogate, she gets paid to do this, her participation and actions also lead to the death of the baby boy, she sold him to a homosexual couple without morals and then she regrets it. This isn't to say she didn't love him or care for him but it's her job, she knew what she was getting herself into. Once you sell your baby away, you don't know what those people will do to it.

She tried adopting but they denied and they even blocked her from trying to adopt him to save his life. They said "as soon the baby is born, its property" they saw the child as a product to be discarded at first signs of defect. They threatened the mother to kill the child and pressured her to get an abortion. They were not obligated to care for the child nor were they forced to take care of it, they had the option to, but refused and asked to withold healthcare from the child and it died because of this. They CHOSE to kill an innocent defenseless baby, they wanted him to die so stop kissing up to them just because they're pro-choice liberals like you, they're merciless killers. It is never justified to take away a life! Ever! Just because you think their expenses will be too much to handle doesn't mean you should just delete them from existence, even if your baby comes out healthy, they can develop illnesses and diseases later in their life, they make get into an accident and get a defect because of it and severely affects their way of life, does that justify killing them just because you don't want to be apart of services you don't enjoy or be a part of?

So you bringing their income and how they shouldn't take care of a baby if they don't want is not an excuse to kill a baby because they could've given it up when someone wanted to adopt it but they refused because they had murder on their mind, THEY HAD OTHER OPTIONS, but they demanded it to be terminated anyway and when that failed, they withheld healthcare so it can die. You didn't care to mention that now, did you? because that would go against your entire narrative you're trying to push. You also forget to add that they had ownership of the kid, so why withheld healthcare and not take care of your own child, why kill it? And we can both agree that money wasn't an issue for them. Do you now see how inhumane this situation is? They're evil and you are more concerned about whether they should be able to take care of it even when they don't want to?!

I also don't know why you're bringing up miscarriages, the women was able to conceive the baby normally even though her son came out ill because she had to birth him at 25 weeks due to the couple pressuring her to abort it. Brittney received a breast cancer diagnosis during her pregnancy and decided to deliver the baby early at 25-weeks so that she could receive the lifesaving chemotherapy required for herself and give the child the best chance of survival. The couple put their foot down and said that they'd rather watch the baby die than allow it to be saved and given to a family. The fact you would go far to still defend these two demons is beyond me and honestly says a lot about you as a person. You have no values and morals!

I also don't understand what sentiment you're referring to and what does women bleeding out from miscarriages have anything to do with this topic? Can you elaborate?

Comfort book 🥹

Girl(Neutral), same!!

Can’t believe Wattpad, smh.

That book was my favourite place to go when I needed comfort from my amazing readers <3

And I had such tragic plot twists and a heart-churning ending planned to offer more emotional damage, lol.

One of my plot twists/ending was actually so sad that even I, myself (The cruel author), broke into tears for a good 10 minutes.

And I might come back sooner or later with a newer updated version of the book that isn’t so boring but has the same brilliant plot.

But since I feel bad for my lovely readers, I guess I’ll include some Yandere headcanons for one of the more yandere-ish characters ;)

(Keep in mind, the ending in these headcanons is not the actual ending)

Harry is a very impulsive person.

That's just how he’s always been.

Well, after he lost his patience with the Dursleys, that is.

Harry doesn't think twice about something before he does it, which explains the way he often spoke in a dark tone in front of you whenever you were to talk to anyone that Harry deemed bad.

Harry is also constantly jealous.

Like, VERY jealous.

He doesn’t care that he’s the chosen one and that everyone loves him and he has a whole mountain of gold in his Gringotts bank, and that he’s a brilliant wizard that has a significant mark in history, why are you talking to Malfoy?! >:c

It’s not cute.

At all.

Especially when you two start to enter the higher years at Hogwarts. (around year 4,5,6)

And Harry’s frustrations start to peak at the most normal things.

He starts to restrict you, a lot.

And you don’t even realise it.

He’s constantly gaslighting you into thinking he has the right to tell you what’s good and what’s not.

He’s always craving your attention and doesn’t want to share it with anyone.

And when we mix the fact that you were re-incarnated and had known and loved many others before him, into the pot, Harry nearly explodes.

He’s a selfish man-slut and is willing to do anything to make you stay with him.

So if you mention any nonsense like leaving him in the future after Hogwarts to enjoy/re-live your past or something, then you best run.

Harry will not allow anything like that.

He’ll force you to stay, and he doesn’t care what he has to do to secure the future with you and him.

First, he’ll try to persuade you, He’ll use any method.

Gaslighting, blaming, pretending to be the victim, anything.

Then, he’ll use oblivio on you.

If that doesn’t work or you somehow remembered, he’ll use amortentia.

The strongest, most powerful amortentia, all of it just for you <3.

He’ll apologise when you regain your memories after oblivio or when it doesn’t work and quietly sits you down.

He’ll go and make a cup of tea to talk with you about it. Let’s hope the amortentia doesn't sneak into the tea.

Harry would have a stone-cold expression when he’s adding more than enough amortentia to your cup.

He’s not smiling, no. Why should he?

You’ve rejected him over and over this far, this is what it has come to.

He has to do this… there’s no choice.

Now, while he’s making the “safe” potion, you’d have two options: Realise that Harry is crazy and a psycho and run away, considering your bags are already packed and you still have your wand OR hear him out and see if he would change.

If you chose to stay, due to the pity you had for Harry, well-... Fuck.

Harry would set the tea down and slowly watch with snake eyes as you’d drink the tea.

He’d slowly and softly explain the situation to you, slowly creeping his hand over to yours.

When your fingers touch, instead of flinching, your fingers lean towards him due to the effect of amortentia...

Then eventually, your fingers intertwined and so, your palms came together and you held hands from across the small table.

And you were now trapped, forever in his grasp.

But if you were to have realised Harry’s psychotic love, and had run away, Oh dear…

Of course, you aren’t gonna be able to run away without making a single noise, so when harry heard a little sound he called out for you and asked if you were okay.

When he didn’t hear anything, in a panic, Harry ran into the living only to find you gone.

Harry’s a fast man, and he knows apparition, so it isn’t too hard to catch you. And when he does, he uses a spell to tie you up in place and picks up your resistant body.

He’d bring you home, but by then the spell had worn off.

He cast a spell on you, causing you to fall on the couch, a deep sleep overtaking you.

And in a flash, Harry spots your wand before he reaches out for it.

This wand had saved you many times, Harry thanks it for that, but it also stuck around the whole time you were in love with others.

Jealousy takes over so he hold it tightly and breaks it in half.

Why would you need a wand when you have him?

Good night, love~

Hope you enjoyed it <3

Kinnporsche God!Kinn Mortal!Porsche ideas dump post

Also known as Foreigner's God Au.

So I would like fto start off with thanking @kin-kinn @bestiesincrime and @yilingbee for being my soundboard at the beginning stages of forming this idea (and that's why they lovingly get the access to the doc with all the ideas)

Secondly it's greek/roman gods inspired but I do not have an excessive knowledge of mythology to simply follow it, no, I have it to mish mash it for my favorite gay blorbos so some myths and gods will just work different™

Who is who and why do I think it fits.

Korn - Zeus, which i don't think i have to explain i guess?? King of gods, big asshole, we all hate him

Tankun - Demeter, because I would love for my boy to decorate the whole world and also he is dramatic enough to say no flowers for y'all if i don't get to keep Pete, losers 

Gun as Poseidon bc of his yacht outfit in the last ep at the showdown, like my dude just vibing with the beach

Pete - Persephone (for obvious reasons)

Vegas - Hades, like c'mon again for obvious reasons, also Khun Spikes as Cerber i said what i said

Arm and Pol are nymphs in service of Khun 

YOK AS DIONYSUS again this queen just deserves that, love that for her

Kim is either Artemis because he's sharp and deadly and also removed from gods and very pretty and also asexual Kim agenda™, then also Athena because again information and knowledge and pursue of it, also there is a little merge with Kinn's role*

Kinn is more like Helios but meant to be Apollo(still got the healing stuff which is important for plot™) which like backstory the merge with Kim stuff, will get to it later*

Big might also be Hermes bc he's my little errand boy™ but he lacks the mischief so he's Ardestia (thanks to Niv), goddess of harmony and equilibrium of good and evil in battle and is associated with Artemis (Kim) 

Ken (thanks to Niv again) is nemesis, goddess of rivalry on the battlefield and retribution and revenge

Macau as Ares but I give him the mischief that Hermes should have, like I would make him Hermes but he just screams Ares to me, the short temper says it all

Tay and Time are naiads 

Jom and Tem are simple humans

Porsche and Chay are humans in like ¼ because I think Aphrodite should be their grandmother, so they are mortal but incredibly beautiful which checks out 

*I think Kim like Artemis had a responsibility of taking care of the moon but he wanted to make music and he didn't want to have anything to do with Olymp and so Kinn took his role and takes care of the sun and the moon, while also stepping out of his role as the guardian of art, which hurt him to do because he just loves art and music and poems and he shines with it sometimes, but Kim is clearly made for music and arts and he can't take that away from him and he pretends that it's fine, that he's glad he gave it up but sometimes when he hears a particularly beautiful melody he yearns

Plot things.

The prophecy, Kinn, Tawan and "you're not a hero Porsche"

All gods when reached a certain age need to go to meet with the fates that will share one prophecy with them that will dictate their lives. 

So Kinn when reached his right age, still a fairly young god come to the fares he heard; ["You're going to love a hero, (and here are few options how that sentence might end but) and he's going to die for that/that love won't stop him from dying"]

And it breaks him. But it's fine, he's young and love isn't on his mind yet. But then he meets Tawan. And like Tawan being a human hero like well known between people as a soldier.

So Kinn thinks it's about him. So the betrayal and the fact that he has to kill him hurts so much more. 

After that Kinn is sure to not fall in love again. 

Enter Porsche.

Who's not a hero deemed by society, he is just a common man. Just a normal human. And Kinn falls deeply.

first meeting

Chay is sick, really, really sick and there is nothing human medicine could do 

Porsche is desperate and convinces Yok to take him to the god of healing (Kinn) and Yok is like "i can't take him to him but i can tell you where he always starts and ends his journey through sky but I'm not sure if he'll listen to you"

Yok doesn't know kinn personally but shares Porsche's weariness of main gods even if she is goddess herself, she is removed from olymp and its affairs enough

So there Porsche goes.

And at first Kinn says no.

But Porsche is stubborn and desperate

So he waits up another day.

And then another.

And sometimes they stroke up a conversation

Sometimes they just watch each other

(Just imagine Kinn watching Porsche being beautiful, laying under the sun, waiting for him, Kinn being stunned by all of that Porsche is and mesmerized by him but convincing himself that it's nothing because Porsche is human)

It's been two weeks and Porsche is going restless, he doesn't know how much time Chay has left

Kinn hears him talking to Yok when she comes to deliver news about chay's wellbeing and he thinks about™ he heard the pain and hurt in Porsche's voice when he talked with the goddess, he heard the "if he doesn't survive this Yok, I have nothing more to live for" and so he decides to heal Chay

But since he waited so much to say yes, Chay's illness is way more advanced to heal just in one go

So he needs to do this in repeated visits

And the short story is that Kinn swore to never fall in love with another human after Tawan, his last human lover, because they die. And Kinn can do nothing about it. But also because they are greedy and starved for the thought of immortality. Or at least that's what he knows of because of Tawan.

Tawan was Kinn's human lover that he had to kill because of plot reasons™ that I will not be revealing yet.

I would also like for Vegas to taunt Kinn sometimes about the fact that he has Tawan in the underworld. 

But enter Porsche who is just making it impossible to not fall in love with him. But Porsche hates the main gods bc of his mother.

Anyway they fall in love slowly, I am saying slow-burn!! And then they are in love and it's so bittersweet because Kinn knows that Porsche will die but loving him is so sweet, so good, so fulfilling. The problem also arises with the fact that Porsche doesn't want infinity, not if he has to take ambrosia.

Plot related things.

Chay, Tem, Jom and Porsche are followers of Yok bc Yok just like Dionysus deserves to have her own cult but more in a found family way then the actual cult. 

Porsche meeting Pete at spring when he's  with Tankhun and befriending the god only to see everyone to let him go in the fall and being like "i was right that gods don't care about anything, how can they just let him go to the underworld and NOT fight for him to stay" and it sits heavy with him throughout the whole of fall and winter and modulates his relationship with Kinn.

A nice image is also Kinn telling Porsche about Sappho and then speaking the "mother i cannot weave" poem into his skin, as if pressing the words to stay there in graved

Porsche lazy and satisfied under the sun while wearing an olive branch wrath and one of those white togas?? delicious™

"Here coated with sweat Kinn felt alive. Pressed into Porsche's body, his own felt almost human in its wanting. He didn't know which craved Porsche more, his body or his soul but what he was sure of was the fact that it felt like something human. This feelings. No godly sins could taint it and Kinn was as scared by it as amazed." (I will change the wording of this but I like the vibe™)

And then on an unrelated note but do not read if you don't want spoilers for the end of circe by Madeline Miller.

"Kinn heard of Circe becoming human. Everyone on Olympus did. It made him think. Let an intrusive thought into his head, he started thinking what if he could become one. For Porsche he could, for the chance to grow old with him, spend his life with him as Porsche deserves. He ached with that thought, he knew he had responsibilities as a god, knew that what Circe did was never available to him and yet he couldn't stop thinking, what a beautiful thing it would be to be human with Porsche."

And lastly some myths I thought about when thinking of this Au.

Persephone and Hades ofc for our VegasPete, there is just no other options and no getting out of it

Okay so listen at first I was like Hyacinth and Apollo myth for KimChay??? But I couldn't do it to Porsche, like Chay ain't no way is going to be turned into a fucking flower.

But Namphung? Like imagine if Porsche's hatred for main gods is because he's mother got killed because she was loved by one and then she is turned into a flower as she dies and Porsche tends to a whole garden filled with that flowers (after he and Khun bond, Khun blesses and enhances the garden even more which warms Porsche's heart)

So for Kimchay actually Orpheus and Eurydice but successful and different

Like just get this. Chay is obvs Orpheus but in a broad sense but instead falling for Eurydice he falls for Kim and Kim the god of music falls for the prettiest and most skilled singer and player. And then Chay somehow dies and Kim has to go to the underworld to save him.

So yeah that's all that's I'm willing to reveal. This will be probably like two-four chapters with a KimChay interlude along the way. I hope you all will go crazy over this as much as I have been going lately and that heavens will sent me time and motivation to actually write this.
