KASSIUS NELSON as CRYSTAL PALACE

[swallowtail-ageha]

I get why some people would think that the geq was sealed inside of melina but i also think its like an extremely less compelling alternative to melina being the geq herself like come on you'd have the perfect family drama of one of the eldest kids probably one of the few that knew her the most turning against her own mother only to be then killed/burned alive by her uncle and getting damnatio memoriae'd the geq being sealed into melina who also somehow a day spontaneusly combusted is just boring compared to it

The Realm's Light - 2

Part One Part three Part four

Part five Part six

As the saying goes,' When a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin. One side greatness, the other madness'.

However, it seems that the gods are having difficulty deciding the fate of the newest Targaryen as the labour of Princess Aemma continued for almost 15 hours.

Finally, at noon, the wails of a baby echoed throughout the palace. Queen Alysanne was the first person to be out of the birthing chamber while carrying something in her arms. The people standing outside gazed at the babe with astonished eyes.

" Mother, this is ?" Crown Prince Baelon was the first to snap out of the awestruck daze." this is my great granddaughter who her family will most cherish and this entire realm ." Queen Alysanne proudly stated.

" Give her to me, Alysanne. I too want to hold her in my arms." The old King demanded his sister-wife. "You can hold her later, Issa valzȳrys. Let the father first hold his babe ." The Queen handed the child to her still-dazed father.

" She is so tiny, father." Prince Viserys softly whispered with adoration. The Prince was carefully holding the baby as if she were a fragile thing who might break at a single touch.

"Congrats on becoming a father, cousin" Princess Rhaenys congratulated Prince Viserys after coming out from the birthing chamber. Even after becoming the wife of Corlys Velaryon,the wealthiest man in Westeros,the Princess still kept her title.

" Thank you, Rhaenys. I hoped Corylys and your children would be present upon this occasion." Prince Viserys said to his cousin. Princess Rhaenys had given birth to two healthy velaryon children three years ago. " The children can't travel on Melys due to their age, Viserys. But Corlys will soon arrive before the feast ." The Velaryon matriarch smoothly replied.

" Grandmother, I forgot to ask about Aemma. Is she okay?" Prince Viserys suddenly realised about not seeing the mother of his child who would want to see her babe. Realisation seemed to have dawned on her too ." She must have taken bathe and be resting in bed, go see her now with the babe, Viserys".

The peaceful Prince and his daughter went to see Princess Aemma. At the same time, the good Queen ordered everyone outside to go prepare for the grand feast only for their immediate family amidst the whining of her husband and son to hold the newborn Targaryen.

Inside the chamber, Princess Aemma could be seen lying on the bed. The aftermath of childbirth took a toll on her as she grew tired.

" Aemma, look who had come to see you." Viserys who was his daughter calmly said. Hearing his voice, Princess Aemma groggily woke from her nap.

Upon seeing her husband holding their baby, whatever fatigue she had seem to be completely disappeared.

" Oh my god! My darling Princess. I am your mother. Oh, Viserys ! She is perfect. Our daughter is perfect." Princess Aemma starts to softly cry while looking at her daughter. The babe seems to have sensed her mother because she suddenly opened her eyes for the first time. Her parents both gasped at seeing her eyes. One eye was emerald green while the other was Targaryen violet. Viserys' eyes glistened with tears as his own mother, Alyssa Targaryen, had two different eye colours. Looking at his daughter now - silver blonde hair with heterochromatic eyes is like looking at his mother's face once again.

If his father had seen her now, he would have broken into tears and said his mother had been reborn as his daughter.

"Do you have anything in mind regarding her name, darling?" Prince Viserys asked his wife." You had once told me that your mother was fond of the name

'Mariana' and wanted to name her daughter that, Viserys." Princess Aemma told.  " Yes. She indeed wanted that name for her daughter. However, her wish went unfulfilled. " Viserys mirthfully said.

"Hence, I want to fulfil your mother's wish by keeping the name for our daughter in your mother's honour, Viserys " Princess Aemma said with a gentle smile.

" Mariana Targaryen is indeed a name fit for a princess, Aemma. Everyone is going to love her name" Viserys said while softly gazing at his daughter now sleeping in his arms.

It is said that the coin has never flipped on one side as the gods can't decide Mariana Targaryen's fate which made her life full of uncertain future. But one thing is sure. Mariana Targaryen will be the only chance for the house of the dragon to be stopped from destruction.

Blood of Zeus Season 2 thoughts (There's alot of them)

I watched Blood of Zeus when it first came out in 2020 and the pandemic kept us trapped in our caves. I really liked the first season, mainly because it’s one of the few media outlets for Greek Mythology that isn’t wildly inaccurate, awkward, or just plain bad. It also set up a lot of interesting possible plotlines, and when the trailer for season 2 came out last month my hopes for those stories could not have been higher. I watched season 2 twice and… I have some notes (unfortunately)

First of All things I liked:

The entirety of episode 3

Hades and Persephone NOT being villains

Hades and Persephone being the only successful and functional couple in this show

The look of Hades’ Palace

ZAGREUS AND MELINOE!

The fact that Typhon is on a “He-who-shall-not-be-named” level and this time it actually has consequences

Other gods actually getting lines instead of just being backround characters on Olympus!

Hades using shadow teleportation, and using his bident like Mjolnir, only cooler

Other races in Hellas being acknowledged

More monsters; the Hydra being an ocean species is a very interesting take

Seraphim getting more development

Gaia and Hecate looked amazing

Problems with the Season:

Okay, a gripe I had with season 2 was Hades motive, and let me be clear I love the idea of Hades wanting to ascend the throne so Persephone wouldn't have to leave for 6 months, but to have him hate being in the Underworld seems like a stretch. In the myths, Hades knew the responsibility of ruling the dead and he did it with pride. It would have made more sense to have him hate being alone in the Underworld. They could've tied into the fact that Hades was the first to be swallowed by Kronos and was in his stomach alone for who knows how long.

Along with that, the season felt disjointed, like they were focusing on the wrong things, at the wrong time, for WAY too long. There were just some scenes that took up big chunks of the episodes and they didn't need to be that long, especially scenes with Heron. I know he's "The Main Character" but if you're going to make him that then please try to make his writing interesting enough for that much time to be devoted to his plot. I know that he's lost so much but his writing honestly felt clunky, it felt like he needed different scenes to make his choices more believeable. His dialouge also seemed stiff and I don't think his voice actor helped either.

We could've had a scene where Hades is talking to or doing something with Zag and/or Meli, showing how he's a better dad than Zeus, but we never got that.

If your going to give Hera a redemption arc GIVE HER A SCENE/EPISODE WHERE SHE CHANGES! Instead, the second she shows back up she's already redeemed? Really?

So, The Demon problem is just over? I don't remember them burning the giant flesh, and on that note where did Seraphim and the Demons move the giant flesh?

Ok, let me get this straight, they could've imprisioned the Giants' bodies in Tartarus the whole time?!

Also the giant problem felt like it was resolved way too early.

They didn't really focus on the open throne idea, yes the 3 trials were to decide the next king, but they needed scenes showing who the other Olympians thought should be in charge, show that scene about Ares rallying others to his side, maybe apollo did the same, or there could’ve still some loyal to Hera.

Minor: I loved Hestia but she looked WAY too young

Minor: Why are Horses just always the ones pulling the Gods' chariots, that's boring! I know most divine chariots are pulled horses in the myths, but for the love of mike be creative!

Minor: The giants guarding the hidden realm looked way to human.

Minor: They kept using the forest backround when they were in Tartarus, isn't the whole place on fire? I wanted to see some lava.

Minor: The other races that showed up for the funeral should've had varying respones to Zeus' death, like Hephaestus said.

The whole Eluesian Stone plotline seemed rushed and felt like it just came out of knowhere. The show said that Zeus drawing the stone from 3 others was how he became ruler of the Heavens, but wasn't the reason in season 1 being because he married Hera who was already queen of the Heavens?

Evios and Kofi didn't really get enough scenes for their characters to really do anything.

Alexia had the same problem she kind of just went along with Heron's whole thing this season, she didn't really do much except (sorta) talk to him.

They really should've brought all of Zeus' misdeeds to the trial, Prometheus especially.

(April’s)Huevember - Part Five! Colors 13-15!

wheel here :)

featuring Vali, Meli, and Nari!

Continuing along with my abridged wheel which you can swipe to see! Coming in hot (cold) with this tealish blue to feature Meli and her best friends!

Who… should look pretty familiar if youve been following the TaKi Fuego comic parts over the summer lmao Or… well maybe you don’t recognize Vali when he’s not snarling at Maci and Tory to defend his father’s honor fgkfkfkf whOops💀

Vali and Nari of course are Loki’s twin sons, “living” eternity forever after as ghosts after being murdered at the age of 10 on Asgard by…. Umm, it’s complicated 🙃 at any rate MANY Elysium’verse years ago, once Loki ended up in the Grecian Underworld their spirits (or “shades,” to be Grecian about it) were able to be transferred from their Nordic Underworld to live in Maci & Tory’s Elysian Fields and happily ever after Yaay etc etc

Melinoe - the Goddess of Ghosts entirely; also the one who plucked them from Niflheim herself (!!!), and also ALSO living eternally as a child too - has been inseparable besties with them ever since!

Vali and Nari are usually NOT glaring down Maci and Tory like they were a few months ago, they’re USUALLY on adventures around the palace/Elysium with Meli, with their siblings, or with the pile of mythological ghost children they’ve also found as friends. They’re just uhhh. Protective of their wayward father and Tory had ended up on Vali’s bad side long ago (ANOTHER long story) so…. 😅😅 well! Not their finest moment. It’s fine they’re back to chillaxing while their newest brother comes along….

‼️I suddenly have a new Elysium Drama Update that’s NOT the baby to post coming up next - I wasn’t going to draw it but changed my mind in the eleventh hour so!!! SURPRISE CANON CONVO COMING YOUR WAY SOON SUPER SOON…. (Like. Tomorrow literally. YAY)

ROUND 1 / SIDE A / POLL 3

Meli Iliakos (@thefreelanceangel) v. Posey (@motley-ember)

Meli Iliakos:

q. What is your WoL name and pronouns? a. Meli Iliakos she/her

q. What is your WoL's species? a. Midlander

q. What is your WoL's class? Or classes? a. DRG/DRK

q. What data centre/server are you on, if you want people to find you? a. Mateus - Crystal

q. Tell us a bit about your WoL! a. Meli began as a mercenary with a spotty memory that didn't particularly trouble her. She joined the lancer's guild in Gridania simply because she knew how to wield a lance and didn't find magical study particularly easy. Of course, she stumbled into being a hero the way anyone does -- screaming, cussing and wanting desperately to go back to a bar and drink. Now, Meli is resigned to being the Warrior of Light and does her duty, but she has a lot of healing to do over what she's lost and learned. In her free time, she likes to race chocobos (casually, not professionally) and hike.

q. Why should YOU win? (Answer IC!) a. "…honestly? At this point, I'm not sure I remember how to lose gracefully. I've done it, I lose often, especially when I take Urianger on at Triple Triad, but I don't do it … well. And I spend so much time doing great and glorious deeds that it'd be nice to win something… more personal, a bit smaller. Not to mention if I lose, Estinien is never going to let me live it down. Ever. …ugh and then G'raha is going to freak out and worry if I got hurt… Losing would be more trouble than it's worth! …I just damned myself with that, didn't I?"

q. Anything else you wanna add? a. "If I lose, do I at least get a medal declaring that I'm a loser?"

Posey:

q. What is your WoL name and pronouns? a. Posey, he/him!

q. What is your WoL's species? a. Hrothgar

q. What is your WoL's class? Or classes? a. Paladin!

q. What data centre/server are you on, if you want people to find you? a. Phoenix

q. Tell us a bit about your WoL! a. Posey is a big softie and massive himbo who loves cooking, but loves his friends even more. He was trained by his grandmother in the art of the blade, and enjoys using all of his skills for the good of the world! The food that he makes is said to be better than what is served to the Sultana in the royal palace.

q. Why should YOU win? (Answer IC!) a. I don't really care if I win, but I thought this was a good way to make new friends! My Baba said that I should put myself out there more!

q. Anything else you wanna add? a. He's gay and he has a pet teacup pig. He WILL try and become friends with anyone and everyone.

TIMELINE ROUND TWO, completely unabridged!!!! { Round one:)) }

I recognize that I have perhaps not fully discussed the beforetimes ft the death of Melanie or— maybe I have in bits and pieces but - following the previous arc, our first non Taci character shift was onto Meli, Epi and Eury so. many things happen but you’ll notice this is mostly about them!!!

PLEASE mind the content warnings this is among the darkest plots we’ve ever done in here,, and so, behind the cut presentinggfg

Glaukos and Oiolyka announce that they're expecting! Quadruplets, actually oh my gods (Klonie, Anthedon, Telephousa, Termessos).

Baby fever sparked by the quads plus watching Eury and Epi with Meli inspire Tory and Maci to try for a baby.

Laphi formally moves into the palace, and soon after he and Jesse announce they're officially dating.

Maci is pregnant with Neo! She, Tory, and company soon discover Neo is Fated to be the future Goddess of Death due to the awful side effects involved with that: specifically, Maci falling into a disturbing death-like unconsciousness every single time baby Neo is awake in-utero.

As part of baby-proofing the palace for the impending Death Godling, Jesse is immortalized into a god.

In the meantime now that Thanatos has been rendered harmless (they think), past victims Sophie, Amey, and Hess are found and healed. Through Lethe, each chooses to erase their memories of their time with Thanatos.

Maci's rough pregnancy becomes too much for her and Tory to bear as Neo's powers increase. With the help of childbirth goddess Ilythia, they magically accelerate her pregnancy to induce a much earlier due date.

Neo is born by the end of July! - OoC - circa. 2011

Laphi and Jesse are now trying for a baby - soon Jesse is pregnant with Lenore.

Thanatos snaps and really goes off the deep end once he learns that Maci and Tory's daughter is set to replace him. He talks Ker into having a child with him and secretly, Chal is born. They immediately artificially age him up to 11 years old and begin to train Chal as a puppet in acts of villainy.

Uncontrollably smug over his new secret weapon, Thanatos gloats to Hypnos about the existence of Chal. During this meeting he injures and threatens to further harm his son Icy (age 2 at the time) if Hypnos tells anyone that Chal exists. In desperation, after Thanatos leaves, Hypnos secretly curses Chal with eternal insomnia.

Meanwhile, obliviously, baby fever continues to spread and now reaches Eury and Epi. Epi soon becomes pregnant with Melanie.

Becoming sloppier as he slips further into cocky madness, Thanatos parades Chal to Nyx to gloat some more, used to his mother letting him get away with whatever. But this time after Thanatos leaves, Nyx calls Maci and Tory, and tells them about Chal’s existence.

Everyone is ALARMED. With Epi weakened by his pregnancy, Maci and Tory insist that he move his family out of their home in Tartarus and into Elysium. Maci fiddles with the Elysium barrier to get Epi in, and he, Eury and Meli move temporarily into the palace for safety.

Bracing this whole time for whatever Thanatos is planning with Chal, instead everyone is surprised when Thanatos resurfaces to attack Lethe as an act of revenge for assisting his former three victims. Arguing that this is a violation of his Styx oath, Tory and Maci send the Furies after Thanatos.

Realizing he’s running out of time, Thanatos makes a move and unleashes Chal, ordering him to kidnap baby Neo and bring her back to him.

Infant Neo is kidnapped. Thanatos locks her in a cage in his Tartarus cave and… just waits, with Chal and Ker. On cue, Maci shows up to save her daughter. A standoff ensues that ends in Maci grabbing Thanatos’ scythe from him and hacking him to pieces.

Tory shows up with the Furies, peels Maci off of Thanatos, and they break Neo free. Thanatos (maimed) is arrested by the Furies and dragged off to a Tartarus cell. Ker holds Chal back from intervening with a claw straight through Chal's shoulder and they both disappear off the grid "forever" (or... do they?).

Epi, who had been twitchy inside Elysium this entire time, takes Eury and Meli and promptly moves back to their Tartarus home, now that Thanatos is gone and all seems safe again.

Jesse and Laphi’s daughter Lenore is born.

While everyone's guard is down, chaos goddess Eris ambushes Epi and Eury's household for shits and giggles, though also irked that her pal Thanatos had been arrested. She physically separates Meli's internal two beings into separate bodies for the first time - "eMel," the evil entity, and "gMel," the good one.

Immediately, eMel turns on Epi and kidnaps him, as his pregnancy is still affecting and weakening his powers. She and Eris together stash him in the Cronus pit while Eury and gMel flee back to the Elysium palace.

Tory, Maci and company search for Epi. Alena, Epi's long-time best friend, makes her first appearance in canon.

While the palace searches for Epi, eMel terrorizes him. She tears the unborn Melanie from Epi's womb and murders her, as she had tragically not yet developed her divine immortality. When Melanie dies, eMel uses her powers as Goddess of Ghosts to physically rip apart her shade into scattered fragments, leaving almost nothing left of her. Epi shatters.

eMel resumes her old hobbies of terror as Epi suffers, like murdering mortals again in the upper world, even briefly meeting loose supervillain disaster Chal. Eris starts trying to brainwash Epi using stolen Lethe River water into reverting to his full daemon form, to use him as a weapon against the palace.

With Epi still missing, Tory, Jesse, Eury, the rest of the palace, begin experiencing vivid dreams and nightmares. They realize this is Epi trying to contact them through his realm and soon realize where they've been keeping him -

- but eMel discovers that Epi's been reaching out and moves them to a secondary location before the palace can catch up. Maci and Tory arrive at Cronus' pit. They don't find Epi. They do find Melanie's remains.

Maci and Tory return Melanie's ashes to Eury.

In an ambush set-up, Epi is finally located - but by this time his memory has been mostly erased by eMel and Eris, making him uncontrollably dangerous while trapped in his daemon form. As Tory and Alena fight and subdue him, gMel appears and defeats her other half, reabsorbing her back together. Epi is taken back to the Elysium palace and healed.

Blaming herself for the attacks, Meli disappears from the palace. Secretly, she also sets out to find the scraps of Melanie's lost shade.

Epi discover's he's pregnant again, though this time unintentionally. Meli returns with Melanie's shade, patched together; Epi allows the new unborn child to absorb Melanie's soul, reincarnating her... unaware that this time around, he's actually carrying twins Ty and Bel. Fearful of the threat of her other self, Meli tries to run away again to protect her unborn sibling(s), but Epi and Eury beg her to stay - they can't lose another child.

Meli agrees to stay. Epi, Meli, and Eury move permanently into Elysium.

During Epi's pregnancy, the palace discovers first that Epi is carrying twins; second, that Ty and Bel are telepathic, discovered on account of the twins poking around inside everyone's head from inside Epi's womb.

Ty and Bel are born! Even as newborns, they are immediately able to communicate telepathically with their family while just a few days old.

Thanatos, from his cell in Tartarus, is filled in by Eris of the drama of the months past, the release and recapture of Melinoe and the trauma inflicted upon Epi. Learning that Epi and Eury now have vulnerable children of their own, and in his slipping insanity deciding that while post-partum, surely Epi is less of a threat to fuck with, Thanatos seeks out a different previous victim to terrorize - Eury. Eris hacks the Elysium barrier to shut it temporarily off, and break Thanatos out of his cell.

At Thanatos' orders, Chal reappears from wherever the hell he'd been, to break into the palace and kidnap Eury to drop at Thanatos' feet. While in the palace, at the guidance of Eris Chal also manages to slip a poison in Meli's vicinity for the purpose of later chaos. With Eury deposited into his grasp, Thanatos manages to attack him but briefly before Epi shows up, furious that Thanatos would dare harm his mate and challenge him so directly.

Epi is not any less of a threat post-partum.

Thanatos is re-imprisoned, much worse for the wear. Chal disappears off the grid again. Epi revisits for good measure, leaving Thanatos cursed with vivid insanity-inducing nightmares.

Laphi proposes to Jesse, they become engaged.

Meno makes his first canon appearance when summoned for tattoo purposes.

Meli finally accidentally drinks the lurking poison that Chal had planted. eMel escapes their physical body again, but when she beelines straight to harm the twins gMel rushes after her and they both vanish...

And when Melinoe soon after reappears, reunited together again as one... despite acting same as ever, this Melinoe is now being secretly puppeted by her evil half. This very temporary version, "MelE" puts on a weepy show of wanting to guard and protect the baby twins from harm especially given Thanatos' recent events. There is no visible reason not to trust her.

The second she's left unattended, MelE approaches the twins in their crib with malicious intent and tries to harm them. Before she can, the extremely powerful months-old-mindreaders Ty and Bel forcibly slam her back and yank the correct Meli back into consciousness, locking the evil half buried much deeper inside of her. Everyone is uhh, a little taken aback by how easily they managed to do that, but overall a happy ending is had.

Alena and Meno start to date each other on-off.

Meanwhile... though unbeknownst to most of the the residents of the palace, a commotion begins in the mortal world within one of their cities, as a deity from another realm stages a hostile takeover. Though the event resolves itself topside, it perks on Tory's radar due to the sheer weirdness of it all and the brief influx of shades; though there's always strange things happening in the mortal world, and no one thinks anything else of it.

Several realms above the mortal world, following the aforementioned hostile takeover event - rather than be taken to his home world humiliatingly as a prisoner, the god Loki decides he once again has nothing left to live for. He jumps for the second time.

This time, Loki lands further underground.

AAAAAAND tee hee the end for now!!! I don’t actually know when I’ll be uploading the next part since I. We actually have to redo a ton of stuff I think in the Loki era but. I will eventually

Also- if u somehow read all that and ur like ?!!! ELYSIUM ERIS?!?!? yeah huh I’ve never drawn her and she’s…. Ummmmm currently under construction so. shshshsh. parts of this may still be retconned yet ANYWAY.

CRYSTAL PALACE + THE VERTIGO EFFECT

[colection-of-chaos]

Whumptober 2024 Day 14: left for dead; “Because I want you to know what it feels like to be haunted”

TW: abusive relationship, physical abuse, mental abuse, death of a character, mentioning of alcohol

Still laughing

Duglas Foucault laughs, he seems happy. It was nauseating.

Shay had a hard time to not immediately cross the room, past all the stuck up rich people, To just slab that enraging grin of his face. But that would be contra productive, it had taken ve so much to get here. After all the work, all the broken promises, ve had once made to verself. 

Finally, Shay was in a position to remind him, to ensure that he would pay like he deserved, for what he did. 

It didn’t matter what the court said, or what his PR-team made everyone believe, ve knew better. 

Ve had seen it koming long before. Had helplessly watchet how it got worse. Never, though, Shay, would have thought he was capable of this. 

⤂⤄⤃

Shay had mat Douglas for the first time four years ago. Ver best friend had visited the record store and smilingly introduced him as her new boyfriend. He had immediately been rather unlikeable. Not because he eyed ver shop like the band shirts and records like they could start attacking him, or the fact that he wore an expensive suit to something, that by any means, was a casual meaning. Nor was ist the way he looked at ver with disgust, like he had never seen someone with pierced ears and nose, or daring make up. 

No it was the way he acted around Meli. No matter how happy ver friend seemed, she was a toned down version, of who she had been before she had met Douglas. He also seamed to have turned down the radiance, the volume that Meli’s personality had had before. It was painful to watch. 

Douglas had to over tone her all the time. Whenever Meli wanted to express her own opinion, he could easily overruled it, with nothing but a pointed comet. 

Shay had been worried, but ve hadn’t said anything, ve hadn’t gotten so see all that much of their relationship than. Even if ve had felt it was their plaice to say something, ve hadn’t had close to enough information, to make a argument point about it. Maybe ve was wrong and just needed a little more time to get used to this new relationship of Meli’s. 

⤂⤄⤃

Ve hated this kinds of events. Ver parents had made ver go, when ve had been younger, It had always felt like they just wanted to show ve of. 

Even worse had been, that ve felt like everyone was lying to ver. Everything was superficial, and that were the better cases, when people weren’t pulling away from ver, because they were scared of ver parents. It was something ve had wanted to leave behind as fast as possible, like the bloody business, that had gotten ver parents into the circle of the rich and powerful. 

Despite all the good reasons, not to, ve was back. Back wearing a dress that was not even close to something very would pick out for verself, watching a man that deserved everything that was coming for him. Everything, ve had given up the live, ve had built after being cut off, for. 

Ve would remind him of what he did every day. Make sure he was haunted. 

⤂⤄⤃

It took a couple of months until Shay met Meli again. Both of them had been busy, so it had taken an unusual amount of time, until they got a chance to meet up ,after Mari had introduced ve to her boyfriend.  They met at a bar they had once frequently visited, when Shay had had one less job and Meli hadn’t yet started searching for her perfect, parent approved, match. 

It had been the neutral ground when they had met, after Shay had left ver family and Meli had contacted ver. It had been Shay’s first job, bartending there. 

The bar was the place that felt most like home, without being Shay’s cramped apartment, ver shard with two roommates or some expensive place that ver could neither afford now. nor wanted to ever visit again. The palace had been out of high societies reach, while still being somewhere, Meli didn’t look over her shoulder every minute to make sure no one would attack her. 

This bar was the best place to relax and just be each other's friend, to just have a chat about life and a drink together. 

It was generally a happy occasion, not this time, this time, Meli looked exhausted. Totally drained of that happy lively energie, that had been such a big part of her, before Douglas. Ver friend seemed to have gotten even more silent, since ve last saw her. 

On to p of that, Meli wore clothes that covered her from neck to tow, something that was rather uncharacteristic for the woman that loved her cute summer dresses and fall Tights. 

Just seeing her like that hurt ver. Something was wrong, Shay knew that, and ve could not avoid to ask. 

“Are you ok? Is everything with Douglas ok?” 

Meli flinched, as if Shay’s question was a loud noise, not an inquiry of her well being. If possible, Meli seemed to get even more insecure. 

“Why do you ask? Me and Douglas are fine! Everything is fine” 

Ver friend’s answer seemed to be as much to reassure herself, as it was to lessen Shay’s worries. Ve really wanted to ask more. No ve had to ask more, if ver suspicions were corect than Meli needed someone to be there for her. To have her back. To get her out if Meli was ready for that.

⤂⤄⤃

 Shay was angry. Shay also was grieving. 

Ve had known that Douglas had abused Meli, even if Meli only talked about it when she was really drunk. 

Ve had held her while she cried. Ver Friend had suffered for the total of fore years that the two had been a couple, they had even gotten engaged. No matter Shay’s worry about Meli, making it even harder for her self to leave through that. 

Not that she had ever admitted to needing too. 

Shay had seen the bruises that Meli had beeen hidding under her colothers, at drunk sleep others, that Meli had only attended crying in fear of what Douglas would do to her, if she didn’t come home that evening.  What she had feared even more, though, had been what he would do when he saw her drunk. Watching Meli suffer, had probably been one of the worst things, Shay had ever had to live though. 

Worse than leaving, ver more than compatible home, with nothing. More than leaving all ver social contacts behind, in a world of glamour and lies, to enter on made of tears and mud. More than having to build ver own live, on nothing, while loosing contact to ver family. 

Watching the one person that had been there though all of it, that kind-hearted, happy woman, that had looked for ver, after Shay hadn’t attended any of the gatherings with ver family for a while. That had still stuck by ver side, even after ve had become someone working three jobs to pay rent. 

Shay should have done something to save Meli, ve had known, that her relationship wouldn’t end well, but ve was too scared of ver friend cutting ver out, too scared of meli cutting ver off because she wasn’t ready to be leave Douglas. 

Ve hadn’t wanted Meli to be alone when she finally saw, that she needed to leave.

Instead, ve had let Meli get killed, by a man that was still able to lough, with his suck up friends over glasses of Champaign at some party. 

Of course, no one had convicted him of Melis death, he was far too rich and handsome for that. Maby it was even better like this, now Shay could make him pay in a much better way, than any prison could. 

To be continued… (Day 18)

✨it’s Skio and Kora’s 7th birthday today! (May 11)✨

Skio- L; Kora, her twin sister and literal shadow- R; seen here with their eternal little big sister Meli, since she’s been on the brain recently too. (A Melinoe on the brain??? Can’t imagine why???? nervous laughter) compare contrast with a baby picture!! wow Meli you loook…. As unchanged as ever. uhh

I’ve been haphazardly trying to keep track of Elysium kiddo birthdays but not that seriously, so it was mere happenstance for me to glance at my calendar a few days ago in time to notice their birthday was coming up. Hooray!

twin girlies Skiophoros & Korakinos, whose full names I adore but never get to type out cause they only go by nicknames, are daughters of hybrid combo Epi and Tory (on purpose, with Eury and Maci’s blessings fgkgkf) & honestly in current canon theyre relegated waaay to the background of Elysium. I have no idea what their deal is, really. They may or may not have powers related to sleep paralysis. Kora spends much of her time as Skio’s actual shadow, but can detach at will to hang out on her own. Like all the kiddos, they’ll find their groove and fit in somewhere eventually! This is like.,, one of the very few times I’ve ever drawn them fgkfkf

Aaaaand Meli, older by hundreds of years than everyone in the palace, but perpetually 8 years old, never aging. bittersweet to watch all her little siblings grow up and age well past her - but it’s okay, her bestest friends are ghosts trapped in time just like she is. it’s fine! for now just a fun few years of being evened out with her lil sis duo :-)

Skio & Kora belong to hiatused @fenixethekid ; Meli is mine!

Everyone has something to be blackmailed with. In our modern times, the 'reins of terror' more than often are being held by grandmothers, who in their sly and strategic ways take possession of your most ill-becoming, disgusting, terrible...childhood photos. Which they later brandish in front of your friends. We hc that Anarietta, the favourite child, was no exception in this regard, with the only difference that instead of photos ( an equivalent of which does exists in the witcher verse, to be honest ) she had sculptures of somewhat overly-sugared nature, complete with babyish chonky graces, ordered by blind to the future woe doting Duke and Duchess. The only reason some still exist at the depth of Palace Gardens is that the majority feature her beloved childhood companions - the beagles.
