No hate to Yuqi or idle but can we please stop doing this “this is gonna sound completely like a sapphic love song - jk it’s about me!”
Like you can’t tell me they wrote a whole English song with these lyrics “She's a certified freak, Ten days a week, The way she's movin' got me crazy, got me weak” “she got that thing that I'm lookin' for, Drew to my Barrymore, I'ma go and tell all my friends” “She's a certified freak, I'm on my knees, The way she's lookin' like a movie, baby, please” and weren’t trying to make it sound like a love song. You don’t say these things about yourself, you say them about a lover.
To write a song that is so blatantly wlw and in the last chorus to say it’s about self-love is frustrating. It feels like I’ve been tricked. I spend the whole song getting more and more excited about the possibility of an openly gay k-pop song, and then the rug gets pulled from under me. And maybe that’s on me for getting my hopes up, but the lyrics were just so queer-coded I thought there was a chance. Especially when idle is a group that has supported the LGBTQ+ community in the past and has never been afraid to break boundaries.
And yes, Yuqi has no obligation to make openly queer music. No idol does. But I can’t help but feel a little jilted by this song and I needed to share my feelings.
Other than that it was very fun lmao! I loved the funny horror movie concept and Yuqi’s vocals were phenomenal as always.

Fallen for Hook’s Girl
Peter Pan x Reader; Yandere Character | Hook x ((adopted)) Daughter Reader
Season Spoiler; Has to do nothing with anything in the show except characters, and Wendy being in a cage
Warnings; Yandere, Lying, Acting, Rum(reader does not drink it), Hook being ‘fatherly’, Hook drunk, Pan crying, Wendy, you don’t love Peter yet
italics are flashbacks
Other; Long ((for me lol)) and written out of a dumb spark of imagination that became this abomination, second part?? Maybe if it gets famous or I really want to continue, it’s kind of fever Dream ish. I POSTED THIS ON THE WRONG BLOG, I JUST NOTICED, I posted it like a week ago too. Also, this terrifies me, I don’t know if I should post it. To see original post go to emmaloo21
Hook ended up back on Neverland, with a young girl. Pan was always intrigued by her.
“Y/n, you’re going to be a little spy, and get us Pan’s heart,” Hook said, he was drunk, everyone was, except her, “Rum?”
“I’m alright, drink some water,” she said, “I’ll be in bed.”
“Goodnight, love,” He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her head.
He thought of her as a daughter, he always had. Milah was the reason she ever was able to stay with him. So she was their daughter, to him.
“Wake up,” Hook said, Y/n opened her eyes.
“Hmm?”
“You’re going to find camp, alright? The lost boys, when you do, you find Pan and sob and cry like I kicked you off the ship. Capture his heart, and you come back to me,” he smiled, “With his heart, you’ll get everything you want. You’ll get to be a princess.”
“That’s it? Simple..” she sat up.
“I love you, sweetheart,” Hook hugged her.
“I love you, papa,” she laughed, “now, I gotta go.”
Hook knew she was a good actor, she tricked anyone, that was something he adored about her.
•
Y/n found the camp, no one there, but logs and an unlit bonfire.
“Hello,” Pan appeared, “You’re Hook’s girl, yes?”
Y/n turned to face him, “Not anymore,” she grumbled, trying to ‘not cry.’
“What?” Pan was confused, he had seen there bond, inseparable, he believed her.
“He.. he..” she whimpered, tears now falling.
“Hey, it’s okay, follow me,” he said, she did, grabbing his hand.
“Oh.”
“I can let go, I just-“
“No, it’s okay,” it was so obvious he liked her.
He was vulnerable, she was curious as to why.
Felix and Pan sat together, Pan trying not to cry and crumble in front of his second. He was sure Wendy loved him, and then she shattered his heart and he locked her away in the cage. He cried as he told Felix, who was there to comfort. And that was merely an hour ago. Pam trying to heal his heartbreak.
He healed it by falling in love with her, so fast. She did not understand but it happened.
“This is my cabin, come in,” he brought her inside, she sat on the couch, still crying.
He was not going to let her leave, that was for sure. The door shut by itself.
“Do you want cocoa?” He questioned, it was cold in Neverland, being it was early in the morning.
“Please,” she whined, he brought her a mug, she took it with shaky hands.
“Let me get you a blanket, love,” Pan kissed her head, she smiled slightly, still crying.
He came back, wrapping it around her, holding her.
“Why’d Hook leave you?” He asked, she leaned into him.
“He..” she started sobbing again.
“It’s okay, it’s okay..” Pan said, “Don’t cry, please, it hurts me.”
He wiped her tears with his thumbs, she sighed.

·˚ ◌༘͙[nsfw alphabet] ! ˊ
this is about as steamy as I’m gonna get outside of blogging other people’s works w the most unhinged commentary imaginable so 18+ only below the cut! ♡
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
his middle name isn’t Joseph actually that’s a coverup and he’s not the King of Pop either that’s a secondary coverup bc his full name and title is Michael Aftercare Jackson, the King of Aftercare. even when he’s less experienced, taking care of you comes like you do with him breathing does to him; he’ll run you a bubble bath, light candles, form a pathway of red rote petals TO the bath, then carry you to lie you down in the hot water, and he’ll either join you or sit right beside the tub with your hand in his, his thumb caressing your knuckles. anything that’s even slightly too sore for you to reach to wash on your own, he’s doing for you with the most love in the world. you’ll have a hard time convincing this man to let you lift a finger around him in general, but after he’s rocked with you? oh. oh no. sit your pretty self down.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
as we all know, Michael is very deeply insecure, so probably won’t ever verbally admit this, but if he had to aka you denied him kisses until he answered, he’d confess he likes his eyes most, and it’s 100% because of the way you lose yourself in them.
now, getting him to admit his favourite body part of yours is entirely impossible for the polar opposite reason. someone could hold this man at gunpoint and he wouldn’t budge on this.
“Say it! Say your favourite part of her body right now, or we’ll shoot!”
“If you think I’ll objectify my girl before letting someone shoot me, you’re not only wrong, you’re stupid. Hit me with your best shot.”
this mf can and will write a love song dedicated to your pinky finger, and you want to ask him to CHOOSE?? unfathomable. literally unthinkable. if you ask him, he’ll just laugh and list every part of you, but if you insist on it, he’ll just pacing. literally doing laps around Neverland. bc he cannot answer you and now you’ve got him stressed bc on the one hand he never wants to disappoint you by not answering a question you give him but you’re an actual angel. for the love of this poor man’s sanity, do not ask him this question.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
prefers it in you and prefers the lack of mess, too. does enjoy seeing you kneeling and waiting for it, though.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
this coming from the man who tried to say his dancing wasn’t dirty? please. he’d fight tooth and nail to suggest that you sucking his fingers was a solely innocent activity. unbelievable.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
heavily era dependent, so based on that: virgin pre-otw era, and if you don’t tie him down in good time he’ll probably get curious w some high end ladies of the night, but it doesn’t take him long to realise he values an emotional connection when it comes to intimacy, so will have only had a handful of serious relationships. however, this man does learn quick.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
say it with me now: missionary! being able to look in your eyes, caress your face with his fingertips, kiss you, feel all of you against him, your legs around his waist omg the man categorically cannot and will not get enough.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
definitely can start off either super goofy or super romantic, but the longer you go for, the more romantic the moment becomes. there’ll be giggles and goofs in the midst of it all, but for the most part, he’s very sentimental about it. considers you and your body to be sacred and will worship at your altar.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
era dependent, actually. otw and thriller he’s got a lil trimmed somethin somethin, bad and dangerous he tried out shaving, then invincible he decides he can’t be bothered with the upkeep of shaving it but he keeps it trimmed and neat.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
same as G, really; intimacy is the priority.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
super shy and from an extremely religious household?? pls. otw era Michael would probably actually rather ask a girl out (and that’d take some convincing from his brothers). depending on when you meet him, you might consider actively encouraging him and he may or may not be super into the idea of you ‘teaching’ him, and then only ever being able to think of you when he does, but even that would be rare. definitely prefers you.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
bro omg. where do we start.
he is the sweetest, sweetest lover, so everything he does is purely loving. there are few things he wont try for you, but in terms of what kinks he already has/discovers he’s super into with you: breeding, spanking, choking (but not hard, mainly just holding you there), having you ride his thigh; anything that involves dominating you will have him intrigued.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
mf was the most famous man on the planet and he’d rather never speak or sing again than share you intimately, in any capacity, so the location will be private and with top security. that said, he can make any location private and secure, you just say the word.
oh, a super fancy restuarant?
“No problem, baby. Security? Clear it. Yeah, kick everybody out and pay for the inconvenience.”
oh, a public movie theatre?
“Already rented the whole place, sweet thing. Every individual viewing room, in case you couldn’t decide.”
he is ready to go at a moment’s notice.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
he is ready to go at a moment’s notice x2
literally anything you do like if you smile at him he’s both the most in love he’s ever been and bricked are you surprised. but, in particular, seeing you all dolled up, especially just for him rather than some kind of official vent will have him dropping to his knees to propose and also remind you that the M in Michael stands for munch.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
slap you. spanking is a little different bc he can understand the dominance of that and in the heat of the moment, shocking you with a spank appeals to him, he loves the sounds you make, but with the abuse he suffered, he can never bring himself to slap you, your face specifically. if he ever held your jaw slightly too hard and left a mark, he’d feel physically sick until it healed. something about seeing your face with marks just absolutely kills him inside.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
this one is a bit of a wild card but I’d put good money on Michael being a hardcore munch who is actually way more shy/hesitant to receive that kind of intimacy than give it; even in otw era, he’d happily go down on you for hours on end while he remains literally fully clothed. he might be a bit nervous to begin with, but he gets the hang of things pretty quick - your body is his most favourite instrument, and he’ll master it, you can count on that.
that said, when he’s confident enough to receive, there is something about seeing you on your knees for him that gets him every time. but, overall, he prefers anything that makes you feel good.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
ever the dancer, he can match whatever pace you or the mood calls for, but he prefers a slow, sensual and deeply emotional hour of lovemaking.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
understands their functionality and convenience - stress relief, post-show bliss, spur of the moment, etc - and enjoys them for what they are, but much prefers to take his time with you.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
will gladly try almost anything for you with very few restrictions, but won’t do anything that risks you being exposed to anyone else’s eyes; the media has been hounding him his entire life, your body is the one thing he wants to keep just for himself.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
remembering the more traditional period that Michael comes from, toys would be a little out there for him, and if you brought them up pre-Bad era he’d be like a deer in headlights who couldn’t make eye contact with you for several hours. but, when he sees what they can do upon using them on you…well, he’s no stranger to fine tuning an instrument.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
is this even a question. this man will deliberately have you side stage at his concerts just to tease you for the ENTIRE show. all those girls screaming for him? ripping his shirt mid-song? and his definitely-not-dirty dancing? PLEASE. he literally lives to tease you for his whole set, just so that he can stroll up to you when the show’s over, all sweaty and panting for breath with a shit eating grin, only to wrap his arms around your waist and act deliberately oblivious.
“Oh, hey baby! Enjoy the show?”
“You know what you did. We need to get to your dressing room, like, an hour ago.”
“An hour ago? My girl, I’d just started the show, I couldn’t possibly-“
and you cut him off by dragging him by the hand to his dressing room while he laughs.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
youtube
oh yeah. his bedroom’s a whole floor specifically for his time with you.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
gets very into degrading you when he sees and hears how much you love it, but will only say things that are equally as sweet as they are filthy.
“Do you hear yourself, sweet girl?”
“Oh my love, look at the mess you’ve made.”
“Yeah? Is that it, pretty girl? Like this?”
“Oh, you like that, don’t you? So good for me, my little love.”
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
a gentleman never tells.
gold pants.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
this is another era specific one that entirely depends on which era you meet him in bc you can assume from getting used to your company, his libido reaches new heights, but for starting in each era:
otw - categorically will not initiate intimacy for like the first year of your relationship bc he’s convinced he’ll misread your body language as wishful thinking when in actual fact you’re lady-bricked 25/8 around him bc who wouldn’t be hello
thriller - a little smoother with it, a little more open to initiating things based on trusting his own instincts, a little more willing to admit that he wants you without you having to ask first.
bad - oh he’s getting it now fr. all that leather? yup. he actually gets more shy when you initiate it in this era and that’s wholly bc he gets blindsided whenever you want him enough to bring it up in conversation.
dangerous/botdf - breeding kink in full swing we havin babies out here, he wants you literally every chance he gets and he WILL make that clear. I’m talkin pressed up behind you at the kitchen counter type beat.
invincible - this entire album should tell you everything you need to know but for those of us who enjoy it being spelt out: the things he whispers in your ear to invite you somewhere more private will leave you speechless.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
considering this man’s stamina, if you last long enough to tire him out, he’ll be sleeping pretty soon after that, but usually you tap out first and that is one of the rare moments you’ll actually see Michael smug.
“All tired out, baby? My poor love. Did I do too much?”

🐶The Moon’s Message to Your Inner Child ♦︎ Timeless Pick A Card
This PAC is in collaboration with @faerytreealtars and her part of the PAC covers a message from the Sun🌞Check out her PAC to get a full circle reading~🍃😉
["Wisdom from the Sun" – how to reach your divine self]
‘Do you like to draw with crayons? I’m not very good at it. But it doesn’t matter. It’s the fun of doing it that’s important. Now, I wouldn’t have made that if I’d just thought about it. No matter how anybody says it is, it feels good to have made something. The best thing is that each person’s would be different. In a way, you’ve already won in this world. Because you’re the only one who can be you. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be.’ – Mr Rogers
SONG: Take Me by Miso

Pile 1 – Kinder and Kinder to Your Younger Self
VIBE: BAD MODE by Utada Hikaru
your heart’s secret desires – XIX The Sun
You are actually somebody who believes deeply in world peace. You desperately want to see the world become a sweetly welcoming place for all, especially children and animals. You have a belief that children and animals are so deserving of gentleness and safety. But you often forget that all adults are just as deserving of the same kindness we bestow children and cute animals.
At some point if Life, you grew up and became tough. I think you thought that you needed to become so. I think your environment made you believe it was important to become so tough the world you wouldn’t beat you to it. You’ve experienced quite a bit of hardships, too, so it was rather easy to fall prey to this cruel notion that adults must all toughen up.
‘If you’re tough with yourself, the world will be gentle with you.’ ??
Though it may seem like those words contain so much practical wisdom, deep down, your heart is terribly disturbed by it. There’s just something that’s not quite right about it. If everybody is hard on themselves… how can anybody be gentle with someone else?
in your element – 2 of Swords
Irrespective of what your Moon Sign is or where in your natal chart it is placed, you’re technically not a person who wants to toughen up. I think you’re a deeply sensitive Soul who still believes that patience and compassion can solve many of the world’s problems. Because in fact, your Higher Heart knows this to be true. You’re somebody who can make real compromises to accommodate the needs of others and you’re genuinely capable of real charity because you’re the type that tries to understand wholeheartedly where somebody else is coming from.
When you help others, you do so with their best interest at heart and you don’t even expect anything in return. When you are useful to other people, when your existence can improve other people’s life situations, you feel most like yourself. All that you hope for is that people are at minimum grateful because when people are grateful, they’re really only increasing their own ability to manifest even more ease and abundance. You’re not even expecting them to be grateful to you. My goodness, you must be God🤩
But uhm… You sure, honey, you’re not compromising way too much because you’re also somewhat people pleasing for a lack of gentleness in your childhood?
making dreams a Reality – V The Hierophant
See, The Sun is no.19 in the Major Arcana; that reduces to 10. The Hierophant is no.5 and this is telling me that you’re about halfway to manifesting all your dreams of ease and world peace. The half of your manifestation is already stored in your Higher Heart and you have nothing to worry about it. What you do need to focus on is learning to be kinder and gentler with your own younger self. You’re so kind and accommodating to others but often forget that you need tender care yourself.
There’s a possibility that you grew up with stern adults who didn’t know how to be gentle with children. You grew up being a victim to this kind of behaviour so you overcompensate by being overly nice to others because you don’t want to become like them. But you’re still hard on yourself because this is like already programmed in your subconscious, and if you notice, you have a tendency to also be quite stern with those closest to you. And wow… that often kinda gets messy.
Can you imagine if you became a parent yourself? You could become a perpetrator of a cycle of old people pointing fingers at young people who are still trying to figure out their place in the world. I don’t think you’d be happy with yourself in your older years when you realise you haven’t broken this pattern yourself. I believe you’re someone who wants to leave a legacy of a more peaceful nature🍂It begins by creating a new world by creating a new you, after forgiving yourself for past mistakes you made when you didn’t yet know so much🍃

Pile 2 – Baby Venus, You Came Here to Beautify This World
VIBE: Forever by aespa
your heart’s secret desires – Ace of Cups
You are for sure a Lightworker. Maybe even a Starseed. Or something of a cosmic mystic. Could also be from the faery or elven realm. The point is, your Soul is deeply connected to a realm other than this Earth we perceive consciously right now. That makes your heart EXTRA pure and sparkly because the essence of your being is more refined, baby!
What does it even mean to be Human? Often you don’t have an answer to that. Only thing is, a lot of things about common human conducts that seem to denote their humanness don’t seem all too humane for you. It’s like you’re wondering, ‘If these are the traits that make people Human… then what am I? Because I certainly am not that harsh, deceitful, destructive, or whatever else!’
You have a strong morality about you and you should damn well honour this. The Human world is ugly, indeed, and from your place of beauty, your Soul volunteered to be born here to teach Humans about beauty. Beauty is nice. Beauty is good. Beauty elevates the Human Spirit and if only more people would open themselves to the possibilities, surely everyone would be a lot happier than they are now.
That’s your philosophy, more or less✨🪷
in your element – VI The Lovers Rx
You may resonate to a large extent with being an activist of sort. Whether or not you call yourself an activist or are involved in any real activist project, you know deep down that you’ve always been an activist before even knowing such a term exists. You want to fight for something good in this world. You want to bring an end to all these uncomfortable things that you are witnessing being perpetuated in the Human world. Problem is…
It's been quite hard for you to find people who are on the same bandwidth of frequency as yourself. I think you have a lifelong mission to find your Soul Tribe whilst being incarnate on Earth. I mean, your kind is far and between, honey. It may take some time to find each other and unite for a good cause.
Although you may feel misunderstood and lonely from time to time, the way I see it, you could view this whole journey to finding kindred spirits as a wholesome adventure story. Like a fairy tale, you know. After all, you are a faery. Your Life Story has a purpose to beautify the human spirit later when all’s weaved together to create a grander story with your kindred spirits. It’s all written in the stars already, so might as well enjoy the story writing itself from now🧚🏻♀️
making dreams a Reality – II The High Priestess
For you really aren’t of this world, I sense that you actually possess some kind of a superpower. Sure, others might think you’re a weirdo (even a freak for some of you) and that your interests and hobbies are strange and taboo. But what do they know? These mortals are prisoners of their own fake realities.
Since you were a kid, you’ve always known there are holes within this perceived reality and somehow, you’ve always believed there are ways you can bend reality with thought alone. You kinda just didn’t know exactly how that works, you just know it. Like breathing—unless you’ve studied biology, you wouldn’t know how to explain how breathing works but you just know that it happens and how it feels. Something like that.
Your connection to your personal spirituality, your personal occult practices, and everything else of that nature, holds the key to making your Divine Dreams a part of this mortal reality. It’s a beautiful process that only you can experience in your own divine ways, so I can’t tell you what to do exactly to manifest your Destiny. You’ve just gotta keep going at what you know to be your truth🧜🏻♀️
And the truth is, you are a magical being who doesn’t even play in the same dimension as the mortals😉Keep doing your magical shit!

Pile 3 – Don’t Kill Your Dreams No Matter How Wild
VIBE: Anata (Darling) by Utada Hikaru
your heart’s secret desires – 5 of Cups
Hellow, wildchild. It seems you’ve been through quite a bit in Life. There was something in your childhood that erupted in ways your child mind couldn’t have anticipated and it broke you emotionally and spiritually. You’re a pretty logical person, actually, so there’s a part of you that’s been wishing you could get over this heartache. But it hasn’t been easy, at all.
The reason for that is that you care too much. Because you’re incredibly sensitive and kind, you couldn’t help but care. Your heart gets easily disturbed by any small distortion you perceive in this Matrix Reality. You have spidey senses for this kind of thing. Your inner world is so expansive and this is partly why you always feel like you want to help. You want justice to win over evil.
You tend to feel like you’re the one who has to be strong and prove everything to everyone. Not only are you helpful, but you’re truly heroic! That’s how I see it😎The problematic thing is… human beings are not exactly a grateful bunch, so… Maybe being so helpful and heroic isn’t always the best way to nurture your Soul whilst living in this human world?
in your element – Page of Wands Rx
I’m not saying you should stop caring and become a coldhearted bitch. But perhaps posing to be one is a good strategy to preserve your sanity?😜The truth of the matter is that you’re really too precious for this world. You know when people say, ‘We don’t deserve this man or woman or dog or cat.’ You’re exactly like that.
Your passion for making the world a better place is often used against you. I’m kind of thinking of someone like Elon Musk in your case. He was bullied badly at school, but look what he’s doing now. He’s making attempts to improve the lives of everybody that even those bullies are bound to benefit from his passionate work. The haters today are probably gonna benefit just the same, right?
Well, I’m a coldhearted bitch, so my petty view is that these losers don’t deserve to benefit from the works of Elon Musk LMAO But what do you think of yourself? I know that in this lifetime you are going to make great leaps that will improve the lives of those you care about. But what about your heart? Will you be able to forgive those who have made hell out of your Life? Or will you become a vengeful barbie bitch who shows them the door to hell of their own making?
It’s up to you and it should be a very exciting spectacle to anticipate👻
making dreams a Reality – XII The Hanged Man Rx
The Hanged Man is a card that has some relations to The Lovers (to think you even get the Priestess of Love for the bonus content🤯). The Hanged Man often talks about compromises and sacrifices. It’s like, when you love and care so much you’re bound to make sacrifices because the world is far from utopian. In an ideal world we wouldn’t have to hurt just to manifest blessings and abundance, for ourselves or everybody else. But… this is what we have, so…
But although this world is messy and hurtful, it wouldn’t be wise for you to reduce the brilliance of your dreams just to avoid heartache or disappointments. You’re avantgarde; not that many people can see the value of what you wish to achieve with your talents. Never kowtow to the convention. Although you’re helpful and a very pleasant person to be around, you’ve got your own big dreams that are needed by the community. I think you just haven’t allowed yourself to fully embrace this idea.
Know that you’re supported by the cosmos in pursuing to improve what you know to be your true talents. One day, the world will be so grateful that you never gave up on your Light. But when that day comes, what’s your care? Gratitude is the least of your concerns. Basically you just want to live on your own terms and create magical pathways for the world to enter into🌏Whilst at it, might as well do whatever you like🌞

Here’s my very delayed World of Winx Season 2 review
Ok so it’s been like a few weeks since I watched it so I won’t have too many complaints, I’ll just list the major ones I have.
Firstly the episodes were super boring and felt dragged out. In season 1 the side plot of finding the talents was entertaining and honestly I miss the WoW show as it was fun and Ace despite being a dick, was neat. Now there’s this Neverland bullshit which makes even less sense with Captain Hook’s mega forehead and Peter Pan actually growing up, or implied to. And the Evil Queen being Tinkerbelle feels wrong especially with the romance with Matt (Peter Pan’s son)
Now, the Nemesis. Most of them were disappointing and the worst offender was Bloom’s. I didn’t vibe with the clown aesthetic. Despite being the worst one at least her creation made sense, with the shadows stealing part of her magic to corrupt. The other Nemesis just…spawn. Otherwise Virus and Banshee were my favorites and Eclipsa was alright. I liked Stella’s backstory but it contradicts things like them being on Earth for a few months. Sinka also felt she should have come before Matt’s character growth. Speaking of Matt…
I was expecting to absolutely hate him but no Sky is still the worst by a long shot. Matt is very annoying with his “I’m know more than you” attitude when he a LOSER, but at least everyone hates him for it until he gets turned to stone. Other than that I enjoyed his character and how he’s incorporated into the Winx group like when they disguise as art enthusiasts. He’s also one of the only non-villain dudes in the series to use magic, yay! However, the fact he suddenly gets better at sword fighting by acquiring a fairy blade despite pro warrior Tiger Lily saying he sucks ass at it is just plot convenient, I instead prefer his deception and acting skills which do come back when he deceives the mermaids. Another is I wish Matt got involved in Hook’s defeat, like some on. He made a great point about trusting Hook and Hook’s the one who sent Smee to kidnap him.
The Winx are alright eh, I mean, I wasn’t invested in any of them and they don’t have any story going on, they just stole Anabelle’s dream of being performers and this hot lady named Venomya hates them, and omg just bring Ace back please. The WoW show was fun as Bloom had arguments with Ace but now she and the others have near nothing as Venomya isn’t important until the very end. Onyrix isn’t really better than Dreamix, I can’t decide which one’s worse, but yeah they get it out of nowhere, at least let the Forest Spirit gift it to them it have them earn Onyrix after defeating their Nemesis smh. I’m also not sure what Onyrix does like…what’s the point?
Anyway let’s get to the villains now, starting with Jim and Smee. He’s on the Winx’s side but for the majority of the plot he’s not involved in anything, just tells Smee to kidnap Matt twice and that’s about it. He could have done like Valtor where he directly involves himself but nooooo, forget the Switzerland stuff, he’ll not do anything until the end. Smee is also a terrible comedic relief. However, I love Smee. The fact he was painted as the villain by Hook despite following his orders and was ultimately the one to take Jim down and save Neverland, MUAH, perfect. Onto not perfect, Tinkerbelle. So her whole motive was Peter Pan liked Wendy instead of her and now she mad I guess, then she falls in love with Matt and suddenly she’s…good..now? I mean, yeah that’s, Winx should just stick to one-dimensional villains. Not to mention her youtuber ass “I have made a severe and continuous lapse in judgement” ass apology, like I like that she acknowledges she treated the Neverland people horribly but don’t add “please forgive me” at the end it really shows her priorities. Another villain I like is Shaman. He’s the Shaman! He sounds like if Jack Black stuffed himself with brownies and got sleepy! Him being by Tinkerbelle’s side after she got weakened and even trying to save her and talking some sense in Tiger Lily made me wish he ended with Tinkerbelle instead of Matt.
And yeah the fact Tinkerbelle ends up with Matt, aka Peter Pan’s son, when her whole motive for being evil is Peter Pan didn’t love her………need I saw more? It’s just wrong. She should make out with the Shaman.
Anyway onto some other characters. I loved the zombie pirates in their spotlight episode but they went back to being evil kinda and don’t correct their mistake like Tiger Lily, so rip I enjoyed them a lot, and I miss the wizards. The sirens were annoying as FUCK. I only like their human designs augh. Alligator man was eh alright? He looks more like a crocodile and Crocodile man looks like an alligator. I wish they’d talk even if it was a Knut impression, it’d make their significance more meaningful.
And lastly, the plot twist in the final episode where Venomya’s a witch, Baba Yaga and got an old ashy granny design. God, the whiplash I got, I was so upset because the best part, aka her design, was not just an illusion Mrs Baba Yaga used. Bruuuh 😭. The idea of Witches being rivals with fairies is interesting but eh I don’t think we’re getting a season 3 anytime soon so yeah. Maybe they’d have introduced the Trix so maybe that was a bullet we dodged? The Trix are so overused. Anyways the ending was alright but that cliffhanger and Venomya being a granny ruined it.
That’s all I have to say. I’m getting a wicked headache and I’ll see you guys on the flipside.
#sry this is super long again but there’s just a lot I have to question and complain about#i almost forgot about the winx and venomya while writing more than halfway through#winx#winx club#world of winx#winx rant#txt#txt post#review#show review#writers on tumblr#artists on tumblr

Ch 201 is out in Japan!
That Butler, Incognito Investigation
Innocent Eyes, In Good Hands*
It’s very short, only 11 pages not counting the cover, but it continues the parallels with Promised Neverland.
Finny sneaks out that night again to meet with the clones and they sneak out to the stables where they witness a carriage pull up and a beareded man in a black coat and hat carries what seems to be a child’s body into the stables.
The clones assume it’s Jenny, (but I wonder if it’s the other body they want to merge with her.)
The man brings the body in then comes back empty handed and leaves with the carriage.
The kids sneak into the stable but nothing seems amiss. Oliver warns they should leave, but the collie girl wants one last look. Just as she says this, suddenly a bright light appears in front of them and someone yells, “Hey, what are you doing here?!”
So they may have been caught. I don’t think it’s Doll based on the way they talk, but I guess we’ll have to see how bad the situation is for our five friends…
*Sub-title Translation Notes:
This month’s subtitle was very tricky to translate into English and have it make sense while retaining the intent of the original Japanese.
As always, Yana loves her wordplay, and it shows up again here.
Firstly, this is what the title is in Japanese:
腕いっぱいの
無垢な瞳
The first part refers to “arms” that are “full”— but the first word can mean “skill” as well as literal arms. I think Yana wanted us to look at the cover art, which shows Finny holding four pups that represent each of the breeds/classes. So in that sense, Finny really has his hands full.
However, I think she also wanted us to remember that despite being naive and not the smartest, Finny does have an important skill set. Not only his speed and strength, but also that he’s fought before. Presumably, the clones have not had any fighting experience.
The second line refers to “innocent eyes,” and I think that’s meant to represent the clones (the four kids who are working with Finny right now, Theo, Oliver, etc.), but because this ends with a sort of revelation, they literally “see a light” at the end, I think it’s why she picked the poetic phrasing of “innocent eyes.”
This is why I went with the title translation I did. I hope it’s meant to imply that Finny, like in the GWA, will be crucial in escaping the orphanage alive/successfully completing their mission.
Thank you very much to @lvndrrrr for helping me figure out how to get the subtitle to make sense in English.
Please do NOT repost my screenshots or translations without credit/linking me. I’m doing this post despite my reservations after what happened last month. Don’t make me regret it.

↶*ೃ✧˚. Hello everyone! Welcome back to another video with LuckieDuckie. Today we will be discussing Rainbow Entertainment’s Best Eras!
As a disclaimer so people don’t come for me in the comments: this is in no particular order. I’m not ranking these eras, just factually stating that they are the best. Also, if you don’t agree with me, I don’t care. Keep it to yourself, I don’t want to see a million comments like “Duckie! Where’s blah blah? Where’s… Chu?” It’s up your [redacted]. Don’t try and tell me I’m wrong either because respectfully… I’m not. Anyway.
Starting off strong, we have LOVE DIVE!
LOVE DIVE! Is That Girl for a reason. Not only was she literally SOTY (4 times btw), but she had the vibes to back it up. I was a big fan of the ethereal cupid aesthetics they had going on and the styling just always looked so expensive. I’m a Chaehee stan, but Blue’s Hime Cut look was literally unmatched. Even the b-sides went crazy this era, with the iconic Sour Grapes taking over everyone’s For You pages. This song was actually inescapable for months, so of course this era had some iconic moments too. My personal favorite moment was Summer’s solo live ban being instated after she called Angelico’s Jinhwa a “fucking weirdo” in front of 45 million Dream. Free her tbh, she did nothing wrong!
Next up… Neverland’s Sugar Rush!
This song was so addicting honestly, the concept, the vocals, the dance, the silly little whistle chorus, it all ate down. We all know where we were when those shirtless concept pics dropped. The whole Peter Pan vibe obviously went with their concept as a whole, but how do I get to that woodland raver’s paradise? Where do I buy tickets? One thing about Neverland is they’re throwing a party and I need an invite. Speaking of parties, the iconic MakoDae club pics dropped this era. All I’m saying is that you can’t prove the girl throwing ass on Mako isn’t me.
Next, we have my favorite Eunji era, Forgive Me.
Honestly, I don’t really stan Eunji like that. I won’t deny that she is the superior Golden Goose producer, of course. But I don’t know all that much about her. What I do know is that whoever this song is about is going straight to hell. She ate them up, your honor! The rock instrumentals had me so shaken when I first listened to this song that I couldn’t stop listening to this song. Ginger Eunji in her rockstar era was peak cunt, The Revenge Era was so serious for her. Not to mention, this song had the most iconic performance of all time. If you haven’t seen it yet, immediately look up Eunji Halloween Bash Forgive Me Carrie. It will change your life. Miss girl is a performer.
Next up is one of Lucky’s most iconic eras, which is difficult to say because they’re all so iconic, I know… but I mean Ping-Pong!
This era could get the title solely from the styling. So many people love to hate it, but they just do not see the camp of it all! The bright pink and blue hair duo lives in my head constantly. I fear Kpop may never see styling so creative and unique again… Someone please rescue Hidae from 4Luvs because they are literally the most hated duo even though they make the cuntiest comebacks! I need them back together asap. Not to mention, these two have the best chemistry. And who could forget the iconic Twister video dropped this era. This video was so divisive among fans but I personally think they looked like they were having a lot of fun answering all the questions while playing Twister. We all know how those two treat competitions and they were undeniably getting flirty up in there, liiiike…
The Song of the Summer is up next… La Vie’s Fruit Salad!
This song is It. One of Rainbow’s most iconic songs by far. I don’t think there’s a single kpop stan out there that doesn’t know this song or even this dance. Honestly, they were the queens of summer before, but this song just solidified their title and made them simply unbeatable. No one else can ever wear the crown when this song exists. The concept and styling is also so perfect, one of my favorites out of La Vie, with the bright colors and quintessential summer vibes. Red-haired Tomi still rules my heart, honestly, and Sohee’s baby bangs were so quirky and cute. One of my favorite variety shows from RBE also comes from this era, I find myself rewatching Lovie’s Fruit Stand all the time. I think it’s so nice to see them getting time to rest and doing fun summer activities together, and its just so nostalgic to me.
Next we have Roly Poly by XOX!
Listen… I know they were flops. But they served with this one, I can't lie! They had no budget, no fans, and no future. All they had was a dance floor and a dream, and yet they still had fun with it. This was the age of camp and techno and XOX ran with it. And in doing so, they created every single RBE idol’s go-to karaoke song. It almost seems like an inside joke at the company because there is at least 2 videos of every single group covering or dancing to this song. And now she’s made her way on to TikTok and the legacy lives on. Everyone say RIP XOX, you will always be famous. Kind of.
Up next is Thee Lucid! Era… TOMBOY!
This is their most iconic era by far and if you think I’m wrong then argue with the wall or something. The song, the styling, the lyrics, the message, the music video, the performances, the moments… need I go on? I fear they ate the whole industry up with this comeback and the industry knew it too! I guarantee you that every single one of yall’s favs was caught doing this dance. Just the sheer amount of people, specifically men, that this song pissed off already puts her high up on my cuntiest songs roster and that was before they went on national television and said fuck! Speaking of fuck, Lucid! did not give a single one this era. My personal favorite Blue moment happened this era when sasaengs leaked pictures of her and Youngho leaving practice for together before their collab stage dropped and sparked dating rumors, and the Next Day she posted “ew wtf? him of all men?” on her public Instagram story on accident… which then started a nuclear fan war on Twitter. Dare I say; iconic. The Tomboy vibes had possessed the whole group I fear, because even Chaehee got man-hating rumors after she ignored Haruki’s hand to help her down the steps at a music show. Not to mention, Minji’s rap verse got so much shit and yet every single time she took her cutesy ass to center stage and ate down. I could literally go on and on about how much I love this era for hours, so if you want to hear more, click the link in the description for my full explanation on why it was the best era kpop has seen from the fourth generation.
Anyway. Next up is La Vie’s Fancy You!
This era was directly after Fruit Salad which means they had a tough act to follow… yet they absolutely came through. They were giving galactic space princesses, rulers of the cosmos, sparkling amongst the stars. Basically… they served. Tomi and Mari’s pink and purple hair duo is still one of my favs and don’t even get me started on the styling. Gogo boots and sequins and hot shorts, god. It was so cunty. And this era isn’t one of their best just because of the concept (even though that is one of their best too) but the vibes. The song and instrumental produced by the iconic ROZE Mari duo that gags to this day. It seems like every 6 months the song is back on TikTok for its cunty instrumentals or choreography. The Anya Kai dating rumors first started this era and you really just had to be there. The entire kpop world imploded on itself. Speaking of Anya Kai dating rumors, my favorite Sol video of all time is from this era in her cute blue highlights making a face in the back of an interview when Kai is brought up… EXO-Ls came for her for weeks until she finally took to Twitter to tell them she doesn’t give a shit about boy groups and their stans with internalized misogyny complexes! If that’s not mother I don’t know who is.
Next, we have DAZED, a Neverland classic.
Remember when I said that one thing Neverland is gonna do is throw a party? Well this is That Party. Out of all 130 million views of this mv, I’m probably 26 million of them. It’s so addicting with the concept and the cinematography… like what are you doing if you show up to this hot guy’s rager birthday party and find out that him and his friends are faeries after you drink their wine and dance for eternity? The ACoTaR girlies (me) went wild for this one, let me tell you. I loved the way they took their whole Neverland Lost Boys concept and twisted it to give us faeries which totally works but it’s also something new? They gave the girls what they want! Howie absolutely owned this era, especially after an edit of him as Rhysand went viral and he had to google the series on live when people asked him about it. I still think about that clip of him saying “What do you mean fairy porn?” every single day.
Finally, last but certainly not least, is the best Rainbow era of all time. NEW WAVE.
I know I said I wasn’t ranking them and all that and that is still true, but… this era is inarguably the best out of all of them so I had to put it last. And of course I'm not biased just because I ult Lucky. I’m convinced that Jung Jisoo tried acid for the first time and then came up with this concept based off of that. And I support it. She was Euphoria before her time, a true masterpiece of neon glitter and debauchery. If I could pick one place anywhere on the space time continuum to live out the rest of my days, it would be the set of this mv. They were literally taking shots in the making video. This song was nearly banned from broadcasts and I’m still surprised that Lucky hasn’t had one of their songs banned yet. Queens Eunbi and Jisoo just know the exact line between cunt and can’t, I guess. This era gave the vibes of the early 2000s club craze tabloid era in the best way both in the concept and for the members. The rumor mill was working over time going after them! Angel was accused of sleeping with fans and cheating on Jennie even though the dating rumors didn’t exist until after the cheating rumors? Sunnie’s gay rumors started this era, although she has since been pretty clear that they weren’t just rumors, LOL. Even baby Han got into one of his first scandals after he got caught with a pack of cigs in his back pocket. The most groundbreaking scandal this era though, one of the only times Lucky has had to issue an apology over the years despite being notorious for saying fuck it, Hiro’s infamous AKB video. Iconic or not, it had impact! But it wasn’t just bad things that came out of this era, of course. It was their most successful ot4 comeback, winning 8 music show wins and PAK as a full group. Plus, they still make room for it on every set list, so they clearly feel the same way about it as 4luvs do. You cannot deny that this era is the most iconic eras of both Lucky and RBE as a whole.
Thank you for tuning in to this video everyone! Feel free to comment below which of these you think is best, or even another one I didn't mention, I guess. But I don't want to see any fighting about it!
Til next time! Mwah!!

Season 3 Rewatch Drabbles: 3x14 The Tower
Summary: A series of 100-500 word drabbles to accompany my rewatch of season 3 of Once Upon a Time. There will be a drabble–either a deleted scene, a “fix it” fic or a character musing for each episode of the season. Focus will be on Emma, Henry, the Charmings and Killian–with an emphasis on Captain Swan’s epic love story.
Word Count: 915
Other Chapters: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24) (25) (26) (27) (28)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The past year without her had been hell. He’d missed her every day, every moment of every day. He’d tried everything he could to forget her, to alleviate the ever present pain, but the only thing that had brought him even the smallest modicum of comfort was the remembrance of their parting.
Good.
That one word had told him everything. Despite her walls, she did care for him, she would miss him–or at least she would have had she retained her memories.
It was that reminder that had gotten him through the early sleepless nights. It was that promise that had given him hope when he’d finally been given a chance to return to her.
He would like to believe he’d be pleased to learn she’d been happy, that she’d found love again, but selfish bastard that he was, it had cut like a knife through his heart when she’d told him the eight months she’d spent with Walsh had been real and that she’d loved him.
Now, reunited, back in Storybrooke, memories restored, the walls she’d built around her heart were tenfold what they had been in Neverland, and in his lower moments he almost wondered if the year without her–but with the memory of her good–had been less painful.
“You know what Swan?” he asked peevishly as they stomped through the snow-covered ground searching for a trace of the witch. “Whenever you’re around, I inevitably find myself trekking through some manner of woods or forests courting danger.”
She gave him a sardonic grin. “And here I thought you weren’t afraid of anything, always looking for the next adventure.”
“Oh, is that what this is?”
“Isn’t it?” she asked, her words dripping with sarcasm. “What the hell were you doing on that ship? I’m guessing it was one swashbuckling tale after another until you decided to come back and save me.”
He couldn’t stop the stab of pain her words gave him. He knew this was a defense mechanism, but gods above, did she truly think that of him, even in part?
“Exactly,” he answered shortly. She wasn’t the only one, after all, who could employ defense mechanisms.
She stopped abruptly and turned to face him, all trace of mocking sarcasm wiped from her face to be replaced by a seering intensity. “You’re lying.”
“Excuse me?”
“What happened back there?” she pressed. “What aren’t you telling me?”
The shame washed over him as he remembered the sordid business with Blackbeard, Prince Eric and Ariel. The last thing in the world he wanted was to see the disappointment and revulsion in her eyes when she heard the tale. More deflection was certainly in order.
“Nothing,” he said shortly, turning to continue his walk. “That’s my tale and I’m sticking to it.”
“I still don’t believe you.”
Killian mentally groaned. She was not giving this up. It was time to take drastic measures to change the subject. “Let’s leave it at that, and you can just say thank you.”
“For my memories?” she asked, “I already did.”
“For saving you from a loveless marriage,” he said, turning toward her, looking into her eyes, looking for an indication it was true.
“Is that what you think you were doing?” she asked.
“He was a flying monkey,” he said flippantly.
“I didn’t know that,” she answered, and he could hear the pain in that statement. It made him feel like a cad, pressing on her still open wound.
“Were you considering it? His proposal?”
“Does it matter?” she asked.
“Humor me,” he answered, both needing and dreading the answer. He knew this woman, knew her better than anyone. He saw the festering wound her walls hid, knew it needed to be lanced in order for her to heal.
And so he pushed, even though the act hurt him nearly as much as it did her.
“Yes, okay?” she finally answered, her tone steely. “I was in love, so of course I was considering it, but as usual, he wasn’t who he said he was and I got my heart broken. That enough humor for you?”
Killian let out a long breath, feeling the pain and betrayal coming from her in waves. Behind that thick, nearly impenetrable wall lay a heart that was bruised and bloody, but one that still beat, one that would heal, one that could find happiness again.
He could only hope she’d allow him to be the one who helped her find it. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m glad to hear that.”
If anything, her frown deepened. “You’re glad to hear I got my heart broken?”
Killian took a chance. He stepped forward, letting his feelings, his sincerity, his care for her shine through his eyes as he looked deeply into Emma’s. “If it can be broken, it means it still works.”
For one bright shining moment, he thought she might kiss him. Her breath caught, she swayed into him, her own feelings, which she’d been trying so desperately to hide, to banish, shown through her lovely green eyes.
And then abruptly the walls came up again.
Without a word, she turned away, stepped past him and continued on toward the farmhouse in the distance.
The disappointment washed over him, and he allowed himself to feel it for a moment before sighing and moving forward.
The woman he loved–the one he knew loved him–was still in there. He simply needed to be patient.

Trying Something New: Chapter 2: The Healer and the Thief -- a Captain Swan, Once Upon a Time fanfiction
Summary:
After Rumplestiltskin traps Emma and Killian in the past, they manage to escape him and realize they will have to live in the past in order to catch up to the future.
Read on fanfiction.net or AO3 or below.
Note: Remember that Emma and Killian have given themselves the aliases of Emily and Colin, and they told Marian that her name was Maria. So any POVs that aren't Killian or Emma with an exception or two, will call them Colin and Emily and Maria. I know it will be confusing for a bit, but that's partly why I chose names so close to their actual names, not just to help Emma and Killian remember but to help readers as well.
For my own sanity, Marian's POVs the narration still calls her Marian, but she will call herself Maria.
Also, while I was writing the muse went wild and decided to bring in a character from a certain kingdom that I wasn't prepared for.
And the muse decided Killian's new backstory, not me. I don't know why I let the muse out of the kennel, because she always goes wild.
Hope you guys enjoy.
Chapter 2: The Healer and the Thief
When they arrived in town, Killian led them to an inn further away from the docks where it wasn’t all that busy. The small inn looked quite cozy with its brick facade and warm light shining through the windows.
He opened the door for Emma and Marian, allowing them to enter first.
Emma was relieved to be inside where it was warm and where she was one step closer to a bed. She wasn’t sure how much longer she could’ve spent walking, even with Killian's support. She felt like a freight train hit her and she'd collapse at any moment.
The late fall chill was settling in and soon enough winter would be coming. Emma hoped they’d be back home by then if she could get that stupid wand to actually work.
“May I help you?” An older woman with a kind smile, but sharp brown eyes, looked at them from behind round glasses.
“Yes, milady.” Killian stepped forward with a charming smile. “My wife,” he motioned to Emma, “our companion,” he motioned to Marian, “and I were all traveling on our way to your lovely town when our horses were stolen.”
The old woman’s eyes widened. “Oh my dears, I’m so sorry to hear that.”
Killian played his part well as he asked her for two rooms; one for Marian and one for them.
The older woman looked at Emma softly, clearly pleased that a young, newly married couple (according to Killian’s story) were planning on making Marawick Harbor their home. As Killian laid on the charm, Emma smiled small and shy, acting the part of the blushing bride. Honestly, she was too tired to try to speak and add to their act.
Marian smiled as well, but with her memories gone, she wasn’t too confident in her interactions.
“Of course, dear.” The old lady smiled a little bigger. “I’m Mrs. Wright. How long will you three be staying with us?”
“Well, we’ll be here for a while.” Killian said. “It might take some time to find more permanent lodgings.”
“Oh how wonderful.” Mrs. Wright smiled. “Since you don’t know how long you’ll stay, perhaps pay for five days and should you find more permanent lodgings before then, you’ll be reimbursed.”
“A lovely idea.” Killian said. “I’ll be paying for both rooms. Poor Maria here lost the most in the robbery. She helped us when we needed it, so it’s only fair to return the favor.”
Emma looked around as the prices were discussed and the room paid for; it was very clean and tidy, which gave her hopes for their room. It was then that Emma realized a flaw in the marriage plan. They’d be getting one room which very likely would have just one bed. Even if it was a big bed, it was still one bed. They’d slept near each other before, camping out in the Enchanted Forest and Neverland, but this would be different. They’d be in closer quarters for one thing. He’d probably be a gentleman and take the floor, but having slept in worse places, Emma didn’t want him to suffer a full five nights or longer if they couldn’t find a place to live.
“Ready, my love?” Killian asked, turning to her.
Marian was already following Mrs. Wright up the stairs.
Emma smiled and took his arm again. Her heart skipped hearing the “my” before love, but she knew that it was just for show for the old lady. Of course, he had feelings for her, but he couldn’t love her so soon? Well, all right, they’d known each other for over a year and a half, but the better part of it they were separated and she hadn’t even remembered him.
They were led to a room on the second floor, the lady unlocked one for Marian and then the one across the hall for them. One key went to Marian and the other to Killian. “A hot bath will be brought up shortly for both of you young ladies.”
Emma and Marian both thanked her. When Mrs. Wright disappeared, Emma stepped towards Marian. “I could heal your head if you’d like.” Really Emma felt obligated to since they caused her head injury, but she wasn't sure if she could stand to use more magic.
Marian shook her head. “Thank you, but I’ll be fine. Besides, you’ve done so much for me already. Both of you. I don’t even know where to begin thanking you.”
“No need to worry about it.” Killian reassured her.
Marian smiled before entering her own bedroom.
“So what do we do now?” Emma asked once they were ensconced in the sanctuary of their private room. Emma unbuttoned her cape, glancing at the single bed at the center of the room. It looked to be about full sized. That would be close sleeping quarters. Emma draped her cape over the back of the armchair by the fire, which was low, but still burning. She ignored the singular bed for now, moving instead to sit in the armchair in front of the fireplace. It was a great relief to sit down.
“Well, if we’ve learned anything on this adventure, we can’t mess with the main timeline.” Killian said, leaning against the mantle of the fireplace. “So best thing to do is stay low. We’ll need to find work and a place to live since we don’t know how long we’ll be here. Marawick is a busy port, but it’s far from your parents and Regina.” He explained. “I can guarantee my crew only docked here in emergencies, and since we know my ship, should that happen, we can easily avoid that.”
“Okay.” Emma nodded. “What job is low profile?”
“What skills do you have?” Killian asked.
“Well, I’m a former thief, waitress, bail bonds person, and sheriff.” Emma said. “I doubt the Enchanted Forest has many female law enforcement officers.”
“Well the military is the law.” Killian said. “But you’re not wrong. Female soldiers are unheard of. I’m not sure about waitresses, but a barmaid might be too risky, especially if someone we knew or my past self showed up.”
Emma could agree with that. In her time, bar brawls were a constant, so she expected taverns in this day and age would be full of fights that would draw way too much attention. “So that leaves me with nothing.”
“We’ll figure it out, Swan.” Killian reassured her. “We just have to stick together.”
Emma couldn’t help but smile. “I’d like that.”
His heart stuttered a bit in surprise before he smiled shyly at her.
Emma’s own heart skipped a beat. They were interrupted by a knock on the door.
Hurrying over to the door, Killian opened it to find maids with the bath. Once it was settled and they were given towels, rags, and soap, the women asked if anything else was needed.
“No, thank you.” Emma smiled, allowing Killian to usher the maids away.
Killian set up the privacy screen. “I can leave if you’d like.”
“The privacy screen is enough.” Emma said, walking behind it. She saw Killian’s silhouette through it due to the firelight behind him. She watched him sit in the armchair, which had its back to Emma. As she took off her clothes, hanging them up, she realized that they didn’t have clothes for bed. With how much magic she used today, she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to use it anymore. “What about you?” Emma asked, making conversation to distract herself from that line of thought.
“I can live without one.” Killian said. He took a seat in another armchair and closed his eyes. It had been quite an exhausting couple of days.
“Why don’t you use the bath after me? I’ll be quick so the water will be warm.” Emma suggested as she soaped herself up.
“Don’t worry about me, love.” Killian said. “Also, soap in this time isn’t used in hair. You’ll have to use hair oil. Over there on the vanity.”
Emma glanced over towards the vanity where there were a few bottles of oil, a hairbrush, a comb, a hand mirror, and other items sat ready for use. “Killian, we can both take a bath. We both need it.”
Killian wasn’t too sure about that. Then he looked over at the bed. The lone bed. That was an easy enough fix. “You can have the bed. I’ll take the floor.”
A huff of frustration left Emma over the subject change. Why was he being so stubborn? “We’re adults, Jones. We can responsibly share a bed.”
He sighed, sensing that they’d only end up arguing more about it if he didn’t concede. Maybe she’d fall asleep first and he could sneak onto the floor. It probably wouldn’t effect her as much as it would him for them to share a bed together anyway. “Fine.”
Emma knew the conversation wasn't over and he was still going to fight her on this, but Emma was tired enough to take whatever victories she could get. Sinking into the warm, steaming water, Emma bit back a moan of pleasure. It wouldn’t do to make sex sounds in mixed company, particularly company she knew would enjoy hearing those sounds. Despite the warm water, thinking about sex and Killian in the same go sent a thrill down her spine. Stop it, Emma. Come on, you can’t think about this. When you get back home and things settle down, then you and Killian can have a long talk.
Emma continued to lather herself up, trying to dismiss the man from her thoughts, despite him being only feet away.
Killian stared into the fire, desperately trying to block out the sounds of water splashing behind him. The last thing he needed was picturing Emma naked and wet. Shaking his head, he thought about the next steps that needed to be taken. They needed more clothes. Emma couldn’t keep conjuring things or transforming items. She was hiding it, but he could tell that her magic was draining her. Perhaps in the morning, they could go to a tailor and order some clothes. He’d also have to give some money to Marian as she was as much his responsibility now as Emma, even if he felt Emma was his priority above all else.
He walked over to where he left his coat and took it back to the armchair. Going through his pockets, he emptied everything out onto a small circular table beside the armchair just to double check how much he had after paying for the rooms in advance. A handful of gold and silver coins, which would last them awhile. Various jewelry pieces with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and opals. Those would fetch a good price. He’d probably use up the coin they had while job and house hunting and save the jewelry for emergencies. He returned everything to his pockets and realized the room was silent. He looked over at the privacy screen. “Emma?”
There was no answer.
“Emma?” He called again. When there was still no answer, Killian hesitated, but he had a feeling she’d fallen asleep. Carefully, he peaked around the screen, trying not to see anything he shouldn’t. As he looked, he saw Emma was asleep, her head bent back over the tub rim, hair cascading out. Knowing how tired she was, he was loathed to wake her, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to get her out of bath without her consent. He walked over, kneeling next to the tub. Reaching out his hand, he gently shook her exposed shoulder with his hand. “Emma, love, wake up.”
It took a few more shakes and calling her name for her eyes to flutter open. “Killian?”
“You fell asleep in the tub.” Killian explained. He stepped away and grabbed a towel as Emma moved to sit up. He held it out for her, diverting his eyes.
Emma sleepily stood up in the tub and took the towel from Killian, shakily wrapping it around her body. She swayed a bit as the fog of sleep refused to clear. Damn, her magic took more out of her than she thought.
Realizing that Emma was still tired, Killian held his hand and fake hand out to her. “Here, love.”
Emma took his hand and allowed him to hook his arm around her to help her out of the tub. “Thanks.” As she steadied herself, she looked up at him. “We don’t have sleeping clothes.”
And she was too tired to conjure any. Killian understood her meaning. “Go ahead and dry off. You can sleep in my shirt.”
Emma nodded and walked over to the bed.
Killian quickly unbuttoned his vest and hung it up, before pulling off his shirt. He walked over to find Emma sitting on the bed, wrapped in her towel. “Here you are.” He set the shirt beside her and turned away.
Quickly Emma shrugged on the shirt over the towel. She stood up, straightening the shirt, and dropping the towel to the floor. She pulled back the covers and fell into the bed, letting sleep claim her once more.
Killian turned after a few minutes and saw Emma passed out, the covers haphazardly over her. His brows drew together with concern. He shouldn’t have pushed her to use her magic so much when she wasn’t used to it. Walking over to her, Killian properly tucked her in before taking his own bath. The water was lukewarm, but that was fine. At least he’d get clean. Once he was done, he took a throw blanket and the other pillow and made a pallet on the floor. It wasn’t comfortable, but he’d slept on worse. Finally letting the days catch up to him, Killian let his exhaustion take over and he soon fell asleep.
****************************
After her bath, Marian realized since they were robbed, she had no other clothes. She dried off and decided to sleep in her tunic and undergarments. There was no money on her, so she wasn’t going to be able to buy much of anything without a job.
Colin had been too kind to pay for her room for the week; he and Emily both did so much for her that she felt she could never repay them.
Still, her lack of memory didn’t sit well with her. Her head ached, but it dull now. Colin and Emily looked so surprised at her amnesia that Marian doubted they were involved. They’d been so kind she doubted there was anything nefarious motivating them to help her.
But why could’t she remember anything? Even her own name eluded her until Colin told her it was Maria. Her name didn’t feel quite right, but if that’s the name they knew, surely it had to be her name? Who was Maria though? Where was she from? Why had she been on her way to Marawick Harbor? Did she have family here? Or had she left family behind her?
It was all so confusing and overwhelming.
Dressing for bed, Marian tried hard to think of anything. What was her mother’s name? Her father’s? Did she have any siblings? Aunts? Uncles?
Nothing came to her. Her mind filled with absolute nothingness.
She fell into bed, her dull ache pounding as her mind fought to uncover its secrets.
Tears filled her eyes as a deep sense of pain and loneliness overcame her. No one knew who she was, not really, and she had no memory of those who knew her. Colin and Emily, kind as they were, were strangers. Even they admitted they’d only just met her on their travels; likely they’d known her for a day or two at most.
Why had she been traveling alone before? Perhaps she was independent and stubborn. Had she decided to go out on her own? Had she left a home behind to forge a new path?
Her pillow muffled her sobs as Marian allowed the emotions of the day to possess her.
****************************
He was up before the sun, still feeling exhaustion in his bones. Pushing himself up, Killian looked up at the bed from his position on the floor, finding Emma still asleep. Good, she deserved rest after everything that she’d been through. Unfortunately, that also meant that he couldn’t get his shirt back just yet. He hoped to get some things done this morning, but he didn’t want to wake her. Perhaps he could don his vest and coat, but that would get him some strange stares. It wasn't cold enough to have his coat fully buttoned up. No, he’d just have to wait until Emma awoke.
Killian rose from the floor and stretched away the soreness from the past few days and sleeping on the floor. After a good stretch, he went over to where the water pitcher was and poured a glass. Leaning against the dresser, he watched Emma sleep while he drank the water. Sometime in the middle of the night, she moved to the middle of the bed, her arm stretched out over one side. Her face was relaxed in sleep, not peaceful, but at least open and unguarded. It was a nice sight to see. One day, he hoped to see her unguarded in her conscience state as well.
He wondered if Marian was doing all right. Before they headed out into town, he’d need to give her some money to buy herself some things. While they had to look out for Marian, Killian wished he could keep his focus on Emma. Even though Marian had no memories, surely some things from her life still stuck with her, but Emma was completely new to this world and he had to help her learn. It would be hard to help her with Marian around and not raise Marian’s suspicions.
When he finished his water, he perused the room for something to do. There were a few books, but nothing piqued his interest, so he chose to sit in the armchair. Once Emma was awake, they’d dress and get Marian and then get some breakfast. Then they’d get clothes and much needed items. After that, permanent lodgings would be a priority. Jobs would be another matter. Since this was a port town, perhaps he could be a fisherman or find some job on the docks. Those were the ones he was best qualified for. For Emma, that would be a little harder. Marian was another story altogether.
They agreed a barmaid was too risky for Emma. There weren’t truly any jobs that her bail bonds or sheriff skills would be of use. It truly was unfortunate how limited jobs for women were in the Enchanted Forest. There had to be something that Emma could do. Though they wouldn’t know what jobs were even available until they ventured out in the town.
He watched the sun rise through the window of the inn, lost in thought as his mind turned to ways to return to their future. Rumplestiltskin wasn’t a viable option, but Killian didn’t know much of other sorcerers or witches around who could help. They still had the wand, of course, but Emma hadn’t gotten it to work. He wasn’t sure if Rumplestiltskin had been lying or not, but if he’d been telling the truth and Emma’s magic was back, then why hadn’t it worked? What was keeping them here?
As the morning sun rose higher, Killian's attention returned to Emma. Concerned that she wasn't waking, he walked over to the bed, sitting at her side. Gently, Killian brushed a few errant locks away from her face. "Emma?"
No response. She was breathing; her chest rising and falling steadily.
That was a relief, but Killian wondered if her magic use had unintended consequences. "Emma, love, can you wake up for me?"
Not even a groan or grumble left her. She was warm to the touch, but not feverish. She was sleeping, just not waking.
There was a knock on their room door.
Killian silently cursed. Clearly her magic exhausted her, but it wasn't something he could explain to the maids. Not if they wanted to keep her magic secret. "Who is it?"
"It's Maria." Marian called through the door.
Killian waked over to the door and opened it, pulling her inside, before shutting the door.
Marian registered that he was shirtless and tensed up. "Now just wait a minute, you cannot just manhandle..."
"I know, I'm sorry." Killian said, cutting her off. "Emily isn't waking up." He headed back towards the bed, not sure what to do.
"What do you mean she's not waking up?" Marian followed him, concerned.
"I think she used too much magic." It was the only thing Killian could think of for Emma's state. "She's not use to using it so much."
Guilt settled in Marian's gut. Hadn't she pushed Emily to use her magic? "What can I do to help?"
Killian brushed his hand against Emma's cheek. He figured she'd be all right for now if she was just sleeping off the ill effects, though Killian worried about just how long Emma would stay like this. "For now, I don't think there's anything we can do." He turned to Marian. "I need to go around town and get some things done. Since we didn't have sleeping clothes, Emily borrowed my shirt. Can you help me change her into her undergarments?"
Marian nodded, walking over to the vanity where Killian folded up Emma's clothes the night before.
Killian leaned over Emma and whispered. "Forgive me love. I'll be on my best behavior." His joke fell flat even for him.
When Marian brought Emma's undergarments and tunic over, they worked together to undress her and redress her, Killian keeping his touch as light and noninvasive as possible without causing suspicion. After all, he was meant to be Emma's husband. This wasn't supposed to be the first time he ever saw her fully unclothed. With Marian's help though, it was a quick process.
"Could you stay here with her?" Killian asked Marian. "I know it's a lot to ask..."
"Not at all." Marian said. "You've done so much for me, this is the least I can do."
Killian nodded gratefully. He pulled on his shirt and began to fully dress for the day. "I don't know if a healer can help her, but I look around for one. I have other things to do, but I'll come check in when I can. If there are any changes, send someone for me." He ensured all of his coins and jewels were on him. Once he was ready, Killian couldn't help himself, he went back to Emma and kissed her forehead. "I'll be back, Swan." He whispered. "I promise you'll be all right."
He turned to Marian. "Take care of her."
"I will." Marian said, not sure exactly what she else she could do.
Killian left the room with a determined stride. He needed to find a healer, but not just any healer. He needed one who understood or had magic. Could he find one here?
Mrs. Wright might know where to start.
He headed down to the front desk.
"Good morning, Mr. Jones." Mrs. Wright greeted. Then she saw his grim expression. "Is everything all right?"
"My wife seems to have fallen ill." Killian said. "Do you know where I can find a healer?"
"Oh yes," Mrs. Wright said. "There's a woman who lives near the docks. Vivienne Wilder. I'm not one to fall ill myself, but others say her touch is like magic."
Magic. That intrigued him. "Thank you, Mrs. Wright."
Now, he needed to find out if it was like magic or actual magic.
****************************
“Oh leave me alone.” An old man growled at the young woman standing before him. His scowl deepened the wrinkles on his pale face. One milky blue eye didn’t see ahead of him, while the other glared at Vivienne Wilder, the resident healer of the Wharf.
Vivienne, who looked in her twenties, sported long black hair in a tight bun. Sepia skin stood out underneath her pale yellow top, and her brown corset and skirts were plain. Sharp dark eyes rested under an arched brow. “Mr. Holbrook, I need to check your ankle.”
“Grandpa.” A young red-haired girl of about ten poked the older man in the shoulder. “Let Miss Vivienne take a look. Grandma says it’s been bothering you.”
“I don’t need no healer.” Mr. Holbrook huffed. “Me ankle is just fine.”
His granddaughter shook her head and spoke to the healer. “Grandma says he’s been limping for days now. Thinks he pulled something.”
“You hush now, Eileen.” Mr. Holbrook admonished. “I can move around just fine.”
“Mr. Holbrook, are you in pain or is your ankle just causing discomfort?” Vivienne asked, deciding to ignore his cantankerousness.
Holbrook huffed. “It’s just fine I tell you.”
Vivienne shook her head. “Fine. If it’s causing true pain I suggest drinking a cup of ginger tea in the morning and at night.” She handed a vial of oil to Eileen. “Also, rub rosemary oil along the ankle every night and wrap it in a cold compress.”
“How much for the oil?” Eileen asked.
Vivienne smiled. “No charge this time, but if he’s still having problems, let me know.”
“I ain’t having problems.” Holbrook grumbled.
Vivienne shook her head and walked away. Mr. Holbrook would come around; he was just old and stubborn. She needed to see to other patients. While she'd lived in Marawick Harbor for just over a year, it took time to earn trust and build up her reputation.
It wasn’t the first time she had to start over and she doubted it would be the last. There were times she missed home, of course, but going back wasn’t an option.
As Vivienne turned up an alley, an old woman caught her eye. Wrap in a cloak of black, with silver hair framing her ancient features.
The Crone’s grey eyes pierced Vivienne in place.
Vivienne curtsied. “Well met, Wise One.”
“Well met, daughter.” The Crone said. “Lir’s son returns. He has the Light with him.” The Crone was never one to beat around the bush.
Vivienne’s heart stopped for a long moment. “The older one or the younger one?”
The Crone grinned showing crooked, yellowed teeth. “The younger one.”
“And he has a Savior with him?” Vivienne scoffed. She remembered him well. Always trailing after her and his brother. Unlike his brother, Lir’s younger son inherited the sea’s tempestuous nature. Leap first, think never.
“Not just any Savior.” The Crone said. “The Savior. The one to finish what your father began.”
Disbelief was a rather paltry term for what Vivienne felt in that moment. “The Savior?” It took a moment longer to compose herself. That’s why the Crone was here. “You need something of me?”
“The Savior is untrained. Reckless with her magic.” The Crone said. Her ancient eyes looked Vivienne up and down. “You’ll have to do.”
“Me?” It didn’t take long for her to understand. “Me? You want me to train the Savior in the craft?”
“It isn’t as though your father is available.” The Crone lamented.
Of course, she’d prefer it if he was. Vivienne thought bitterly. Her father was The Sorcerer after all. “What of Lir’s son?”
“He remembers nothing.” The Crone shrugged. “That is for the best. He’d be much more dangerous if he did.” The old woman stepped forward, looking Vivienne straight in the eye. “Train the Savior, and you will be rewarded.” Then she disappeared in a swirl of mist.
“Fuck.” Vivienne cursed. The last person she wanted to deal with was Killian Jones.
****************************
His eyes searched the market for a new mark. Sure, he got proper work once in a while being a lamplighter or a courier ever so often, but Dodger couldn’t let his skills get rusty.
Any thief worth their salt kept perfecting their art.
A new face to market caught Dodger’s attention. Average looking fellow, with a thick beard. His clothes were rather nice. A determined stride told Dodger the man was on a mission, which meant he’d be too focused on his goal to pay much attention.
Dodger used the alleys to get ahead of the man. It looked as though the man was headed in the direction of the docks, so Dodger hurried along in between buildings, coming out near the end of the market, closer to the Wharf end.
He was now in front of his mark, watching the man walk through patrons with ease. Dodger pretended to be looking at stalls as he made his way towards his mark. Passing by closely, Dodger’s feather light touch fished a few coins out of the man’s pocket.
Smirking at his success, Dodger didn’t expect a hand on his arm, jerking him back.
Fierce blue eyes glared at him. “I’ll have my coins back, if you please.”
His mark marked him. Great. Okay, time to play the innocent victim.
“I beg your pardon, sir.” Dodger’s offended act was instinct. Even as he looked at the man, sensing danger, he thought maybe he could keep it up. After all, how dangerous could this posh bloke be? "Whatever do you mean?"
The man rolled his eyes. “I don’t have times for games. Hand over the coins and I won’t alert the authorities.” He held out his hand expectantly.
Dodger stepped back to put distance between them. “Good sir, I’ve no idea what you’re talking about." He needed to convince this man that he was wrong; if he left now, the man would alert the soldiers, and Dodger hadn't gotten caught in Marawick yet, but he didn't have the means to leave the city.
The man smirked and Dodger's blood ran cold. Calculating anger filled blue eyes. Dodger swallowed. You sure know how to pick 'em, Dodge.
"Perhaps you didn't hear me clearly." The man stepped closer, hand grabbing Dodger's arm in a vice grip. "I've no time to mess about. Give me my coins, and I won't gut you like a codfish and leave you here for the vultures to pick apart."
Something in the man's eyes made Dodger believe his threats. Unassuming as the man was when Dodger marked him, this man was far from unassuming now. Dodger debated for a moment longer; run or give in. Though he doubt he'd be running from this man for long. He handed the coins over.
"Thank you," The man grinned tightly before walking off.
Dodger watched him go, an intense curiosity filling him. Just who was that man?
Don't do it, Dodge. He told himself. Leave it be.
Ah hell, he was the Artful Dodger. When did he ever leave well enough alone?
Dodger kept to the shadows as he followed the man into the Wharf.
****************************
Emma woke up in a meadow of pink flowers. The sun shone through the canopy of trees, birds chirped, but the world felt as though it was covered in haze.
"Killian?" Emma called out. Where was he? Where was the inn? She remembered being in the bath and then briefly Killian helping her out.
She was fairly certain that she fell asleep in a bed. "Killian?" She slowly stood up, looking around at her surroundings.
"He isn't here." A man spoke, appearing out of nowhere.
Emma stepped back. "Who the hell are you?"
The man appeared young, in his late twenties or early thirties, it was hard to tell. He was dressed in a thick, brocade shirt, underneath a brown leather tunic vest, and brown pants. His dark brown eyes felt ancient as they looked her over. "I'm Merlin." He said simply.
Emma stared him down as she processed that. "Bullshit."
Merlin grinned. "You're parents are Snow White and Prince Charming, you've met the Evil Queen, Rumplestiltskin, Peter Pan, and your lover is Captain Hook, but Merlin existing is a stretch?"
"Hook isn't my..." Emma shook her head. "Never mind. So what, Camelot and Excalibur are real too?"
"Indeed they are." Merlin smirked knowingly. "But they are also concerns for another time. Right now, I'm more concerned about your appearance here."
"Where is here?" Emma asked.
"The Astral Realm." Merlin said. "A plane of existence in between living and dead." He motioned to the meadow around them. "This is the Middlemist Meadow of Camelot. I used to tutor my students here. It's a place I find calming. You see, I'm in between life and death myself, trapped for eternity. This is my piece of home." Merlin focused on Emma. "It worries me that the Savior is here."
"I'm not dying, am I?" Emma asked, fear gripping at her heart. She didn't want to die without seeing her family or Killian again.
"Depends on how you came to be here." Merlin said. "What happened, Miss Swan?"
"Uh, well, it's a long story." Emma said.
Merlin smiled patiently, a paternal air about him. It made Emma wonder just how old he truly was. "I have plenty of time." He sat down amongst the flowers and beckoned Emma to join him.
Warily, Emma joined him, uncertain about whether or not to trust him. Even so, she briefly explained her plight leaving out some details here and there she didn't deem necessary, but explaining about the time travel and her overuse of magic.
"Ah, so you've been training under the Evil Queen." Merlin said.
Emma hadn't mentioned that. "How did you know that?" Her eyes narrowed as she leaned away from him.
"The Astral Realm transcends realms." Merlin said. "I can be anywhere, any time, and watch anyone."
"Creepy." Emma huffed.
Merlin shrugged. "It's useful. I've seen Storybrooke and I'm aware that Regina and the Dark One are the only two people you could learn magic from. Considering your magic is the antithesis to the Dark One, he certainly would never teach you. That leaves Regina, and she isn't one to actually sit you down and explain things."
"You're right about that." Emma said. "So what is happening to me?"
"You're fine." Merlin said. "You're in Healing Sleep."
"What is Healing Sleep?" Emma asked.
"Magic drains the system." Merlin began. "Regina uses magic all the time, so she's built up a tolerance to the drain. More than that, she also isn't very powerful and limited on how much magic she can expend, so even if she felt the drain, it wouldn't cause total exhaustion. There are certain beings, demigods, products of True Love such as yourself, elves, true sorcerers, who have so much power that it's harder to control. You aren't limited on how much magic you can use like Regina is, which means you can overdraw your power. Thus causing Magical Fatigue. Healing Sleep happens when you over use your magic to the point your body forces you to rest in order to refill your magical reserves."
Disbelief overcame her. "Wait, I have unlimited magic?"
"No, you have a higher limit of how much magic you can use." Merlin explained patiently. "True Love is the most powerful magic of all, but you don't have the same benefits of other species, who have power. You're still a mortal, you still bleed, and you will fatigue. Even after training and building up your tolerance, you would still need to watch how much magic you call upon."
"Okay, well, I'm stuck in the past for the next four years," Emma sighed. "I'll need to learn this stuff. I just need to wake up first."
"Fate already has a teacher in mind." Merlin smiled. "You'll meet her soon. As for waking up, well, depending on your body's recovery time and how much magic you used, you could be asleep for days, or weeks, or..."
"Don't finish that sentence." Emma glared. "If you're some great sorcerer, why can't you teach me?"
"I'm indisposed at the moment." Merlin said. "You can only meet me in the Astral Realm, but it's dangerous to spend too much time here if you're a novice. It likes to play tricks sometimes, which means if you aren't careful to spot them, your soul could move on into the Afterlife."
Definitely want to avoid that. Emma thought. "Is there a way to speed up this sleep?"
Merlin's infernal knowing grin returned. "You'll learn in due time. Until then, rest and enjoy the Middlemist."
****************************
Marian ate only a little of the soup the maid brought up for her and Emily. She told the maid that Emily was just sleeping off her illness, and she hoped she was right. Emily was still breathing, and she was warm. Nothing seemed amiss other than Emily would not wake.
Marian attempted to wake her for lunch, but the blonde woman didn't react. Not a mumble from her lips, not a flutter of her eyes.
She worried that Emily might not ever wake up. Colin was convinced that her magic had something to do with this, and he would know better being Emily's husband. Marian wondered if this was common. She wasn't surprised by magic existing, though her memories were gone, so surely magic was commonplace.
Why then did Colin and Emily want to hide Emily's magic? Was magic good to have, or was it dark? Colin and Emily didn't seem like bad people, and Emily's magic seemed so helpful.
Could she really trust these strangers after all? Or was it better to move on, and try to rebuild her life on her own? Her gut said Colin and Emily didn't mean any harm, but they also didn't know her. Should she try and find out who she was? Should she ask them if she mentioned where she was from and why she was moving here?
It was just strange that everything was gone. Even her dreams were hazy images, but nothing indicating her past.
Marian sighed, pushing away her half eaten soup. She glanced where Emily lay, sleeping peacefully, wishing she could sleep just as well. "Why can't I remember?" She whispered to the silence around her. She looked at her hands. There were callouses, light as they were, so she was used to work off some sort.
But what work? Did she do cleaning? Was she a barmaid? A seamstress? That was just another thing to figure out. Once Colin returned and she knew Emily was going to be all right, Marian needed to go into town and figure out just what to do next. She couldn't rely on them forever. It was time to figure out what little she could and go from there.
Starting with a job.
****************************
Killian waited outside a boarding house, where he was told the healer currently was checking on a patient. He hoped this Vivienne could help him. He figured someone with magic would be better, but perhaps the healer knew someone who could help with their situation.
He just wanted Emma to be all right. He couldn't let anything happen to her, not when he promised to get her home. Not when he needed her safe and happy for his own sanity.
A young woman with black hair exited the building, a basket of herbs, potions, and poultices in hand.
Killian pushed off the wall of the house across the street and put himself in her path. "Excuse me, Miss?"
The healer froze at his voice before turning to face him. Oddly, her dark eyes recognized him.
An uneasy feeling settled over him. Had Emma unintentional glamoured the face of someone from around here? He doubted it.
The woman glared at him. “How can I help you sir?” Her defensive stance had Killian backing up a bit.
He wasn't sure why she didn't like him, but he wasn't going to chance pissing her off more than she already was, not when he needed her help. “So sorry to bother you.” Killian smiled gently. “My name is Colin Jones. My wife and I recently moved to town.”
Surprise flickered over her expression. Vivienne relaxed a bit, realizing Killian truly didn't seem to remember her. Though she was confused about the wife part. The Savior couldn't be his wife, could she? That was a dangerous match if that was the case. As it was, the Savior needed to work on her glamour spell. It worked well for non-magical people, but if Vivienne could see through it, then so could the Dark One, or others a might more powerful. This close to the sea, it would be better to disguise Lir's son as strongly as possible. "And why am I interested in this information?"
"I heard you're the healer in town. My wife fell ill on our travels." Killian said. "I hoped you'd come look at her. She's not waking up."
His concern for the Savior was genuine. What did he mean by her not waking up?
Vivienne wanted to tell him no and go back to her rounds, but the Crone wanted her to teach the Savior. It seemed that for the time being Killian and the Savior were a package deal. Vivienne would deal with that later. "Does she have a fever?"
Killian shook his head. "No, she's warm, but not feverish." Killian glanced around and slowly stepped closer, careful not to crowd her. "What do you know about magic?"
"Enough." Vivienne challenged. There was no way she'd give away her hand. Not to him. "Why?"
"Because my wife has magic." Killian spoke lowly as to not be overheard. "I think she used too much of it." He looked at her imploringly.
Here's where Killian not having his memories hampered him. He'd been one of her father's best students, all the more why Vivienne disliked him, and now he had to come to her for basic magical knowledge. She'd feel smug if she didn't hate him so much.
Alas, she had to teach the Savior, so she'd have to suffer Jones all over again. "All right, take me to her and I shall see what I can do."
His immense relief was palpable. "Thank you, miss."
"Vivienne." She introduced. "Vivienne Wilder."

SHIPPING INFO:// Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog
REPOST. DON'T REBLOG
*~Fair warning, unreliable munarrator~*
What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?
I don’t have fandom OTPs (though I do have ships I favor over others). As such, I don’t have true rp OTPs. I understand this isn’t the norm… my condolences.
To jump on the… no, PULL, the bandwagon, like a mule, I say… *chin-hands* I cherish all the ships you see here, from the familial to the romantic to the sadistic (currently active or not). Since I enjoy a variety of dynamics, I feel very lucky to have the muns and friends who’ve taken the time to write with me, especially over this last year.
What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?
I like to feel things out through the writing and let the ships sail organically and perhaps also majestically along the Aegean... or straight into Charybdis; it depends. When the writing works, I find we’ll inevitably have conversations about where we want to set our sails. When in doubt or with a new mun, I try to follow your lead. Pre-establishing ships are something we have to discuss and plot.
I don’t partake in pregnancy threads, nor do I read them. No exceptions.
How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?
Mun can take or leave age gaps. The muse… In default aus, Modern!/Music!Ben’s around 30-34, and as (self conscious) public figures, I’m not sure either would date under 28. But Music!Ben is Music!Ben. Ex-Con!Ben is 34+ and, at any rate, would much rather any romantic interest be at least around his age.
I move all over Dark!Ren’s timeline. Sometimes he’s he’s a 40-something-year-old cyborg who absorbed all his knights and roams wild space for fresh meat. Sometimes, he’s a deranged 25-year-old still-kind-of-a-kid on a leash holding a bunch of other deranged kids on leashes. His primary interest is the Ren. You do the math.
Are you selective when shipping?
Romance/sensual/sexual: Yes and no. No, because I like to ship. Yes, because consent, communication, compatibility, and chemistry are what make a ship fly. (Quadruplex, bitch!) We’re not getting to That Side of Neverland on nothing but pixie dust. 💅
Familial/platonic: Trick question, we still have to have the four Cs.
As a side note on romantic ships, so long as we keep things PG-13/fade to black, we don’t have to talk all the time or often. We can sail side by side in silence while our muses figure things out.
How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?
‘S’all about the motion of the ocean, na mean? If it gets kinky and implicit, we can keep it on the blog. If it gets kinky and explicit, we whisk it off to Discord. This only happens if we have a bond. This has been a PSA…
Who are other muses you ship your muse with?
My muse has as many connections as I can write/keep up with. They can be seen right here on kylo-wrecked.tumblr.com for free! Read more—no jk.
There is invariable potential.
@etoilebleu, @itmeanspeace, @ifyoucatchacriminal, @lastxdragon, @silverjetsystm, @valkxrie, @brooklynislandgirl, @nightmarefuele , @mayxthexforce , @chromium-siren , @smokinmirrors are some muns I ship with romantically. Sometimes, the ships are in a questionable state. Sometimes, they're toxic. Sometimes the ships are made out of lies. Sometimes, they're not even ship-shaped; who knows? They all have flags, and the flags flap proudly.
Famships with @desireandduty and @shadowedlights (exploring with @mnolith / @destincd).
Muses my variants are still getting to know (because I am slow, etc.): @bewitchingbaker, @smolcuriouskitten, @corinnebaileyrp, @southern-belle-outcasts (Nilza), @protectmypeople (lol).
Come one, come all.
Does one have to ask to ship with you?
Gone corporate: let’s have a quick check-in to see whether we’re aligned.
How often do you like to ship?
Gone automation: I’m sorry, I didn’t get that. Please try again later. *dial tone*
Are you multiship?
Yes, and as many muns have said before me, I ship across verses. Picture it: me on a good day, potentially you, shipping across the universe…
Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?
More-or-less. I’m here for juicy writing of all types.
What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?
I’m a near-fandomless sham. Something broke in me, idk. I can think of the most erotic scene I’ve seen in a movie in quite some time, but it’s controversial and doesn’t belong here teehee.
Finally, how does one ship with you?
We write a little. We talk a little. The rest we’ll make up as we go along. I don’t love plotting myself into corners when the sea we write on is fluid. Feels weird, man.
tagged by: my @brooklynislandgirl
tagging: thief it and tag me
#ooc#about the mun#{when you can't sleep; meme}#{i need to either remember or create an additional tag for posts like these lol}

somewhere in neverland, pt. 1
a/n: after much deliberation with myself, i decided to continue "emotional support boyscouts" with a jk fic where the reader battles bipolar (type ii) disorder. again this is something that i deal with and this is similar to what happens to me. everyone's experience with mental illnesses is different and i understand that.
there is no romance in this particular part but there will be a part two, so bear with me. i didn't want it to feel forced and i think i've laid a decently solid groundwork for a strangers-to-friends-to-lovers story.
as always, please let me know if you like this and maybe even what you'd like to see in a part two so i can keep that in mind when i write it. 🥰 AND if i missed any tags you think should be in the warnings, let me know!
banner made by yours truly
pairing: jeon jungkook x reader
genre: hurt/comfort
warnings: bipolar (type ii) disorder, mental health issues, playfully light bullying of one kim namjoon, jungkook gets attached to reader quickly
word count: 2,733
summary: jungkook hasn't left his house in days and barely answers texts, namjoon has a friend who does something similar - so he introduces them
jungkook lets out a groan as he hears a knock at the door. bam is already waiting expectantly for the visitor to enter. when he doesn’t immediately answer, he hears the door open to reveal namjoon carrying bags of takeout.
“hey, bam,” namjoon cooed at the doberman. “where’s your dad?”
“in here,” jungkook’s voice came muffled from the couch in the living room.
after removing his shoes, namjoon padded into the room and set the food on the coffee table in front of the couch. “we haven’t heard from you in a few days. i was getting worried.”
“so you break into my house?”
“not breaking in if i have a key, kook.”
jungkook huffed. “i’ve responded to group chat messages.”
“using emojis and one word responses.”
“still responses,” he mumbled.
“right, sure,” namjoon replied, getting the food out of the bags and placing them on the coffee table. “come on, eat.”
the two men ate in silence for a few minutes until namjoon could no longer take it. “man, when was the last time you left this house?”
jungkook looked up at him with wide eyes and noodles hanging out of his mouth and shrugged.
in truth, it had been a couple weeks since he properly left his house. he hadn’t been feeling up to doing much lately so he hasn’t been. he didn’t realize it was a big deal until namjoon showed up.
“you haven’t left the house in a while and you’re answers to texts leave a lot to be desired,” namjoon then sighed. “we’re worried about you. i’m worried about you.”
namjoon knew that coming from him, jungkook would listen. he knew that he had somewhat gotten through to him when the younger put his bowl and chopsticks down with a sigh.
“i don’t know, hyung. i just don’t have it in me right now.”
“i think i understand,” namjoon thought for a moment. “let me take you somewhere.”
“where?”
“it’s a surprise. finish your food and go get dressed.”
jungkook knew that it would be in vain to try to argue with the older man now so he ate and dressed.
while he was getting dressed, namjoon called for a ride. when the ride arrived the two were on there way to whatever namjoon had planned.
after about half an hour, the car pulled up in front of a cozy-looking bookstore. “hyung, why are we here? i don’t even read that much.”
“a habit that should be changed, but that’s not the only reason we’re here. i want you to meet someone.”
jungkook sighed. “i’m not really in the headspace to meet anyone new.”
“which is why you’re going to. besides, i think you’ll enjoy her company.”
“please tell me you’re not trying to set me up.”
“please, i know better. besides, i don’t want to lose her as a friend because of you,” namjoon teased, bumping his shoulder into the younger man’s.
“first of all, i’m not the worst one in our group and you know it. secondly — actually i don’t have a second thing. let’s just go.”
a small bell above the door jingled as they entered the small building. “friendly reminder that cameras are not permitted in this establishment,” said a feminine voice from behind the counter, the woman it belonged to not even looking up from her book.
“wow, not even a ‘hello, how are you, joon?’” namjoon teased the girl.
“nope. you’re not special,” she jabbed, sticking a bookmark in her place and looking up with a bright smile.
“well, you are,” namjoon winked as the two men approached the counter.
“nice try, kid.”
“kid?! i’m like two years older than you,” namjoon whined, causing her to laugh.
it was a laugh that jungkook would not soon forget; it sounded magical to his ears.
“this must be jungkook,” she said and oh god she’d said his name and suddenly he didn’t want anyone else to say it again.
“i seem to be at a disadvantage.” it was something jimin was more likely to say than himself. “you know my name but i don’t know yours.”
“y/n. i must not be that special if joon hasn’t even told you about me.”
y/n, he thought to himself. beautiful name for the beautiful girl standing in front of him.
“how did this turn into a kim namjoon roast? you know what? don’t answer that, i’m going to browse to make myself feel better,” namjoon huffed, playfully.
“for what it’s worth, i do think hyung told me about you. i just haven’t been great at retaining information lately,” jungkook blushed, trying to make amends for his friend.
she smiled at him, making his heart race and his blush deepen. “you must be the one he’s worried about. don’t worry he didn’t tell me specifics, didn’t even tell me which band member it was. i’m glad he was able to get you out of the house. though, i didn’t doubt he could. he’s very persuasive.”
jungkook breathed out a small laugh in agreement. “yes he is. he broke in with food.”
she gasped, feigning fear. “what a scary burglar.”
a moment passed. “you know,” she started. “he’s done that to me before too.”
jungkook looked up at her, stunned. for all he knew the two had only met recently, but as he said: he hasn’t been retaining much information.
“well, not exactly. he doesn’t have a key or anything,” she clarified. “but he did show up unannounced with food and drug me here.”
“he made you come to work?”
she let out a small laugh of her own. “believe it or not: this is my happy place. my mom bought this place when i was in my teens. she won’t admit to it but i know it’s because of how much i’ve always enjoyed reading and just being around books. she let me make little reading nooks out of thrifted furniture in various spots around the bookshelves. before i started working here full-time, and sometimes while i’m on the clock, you could find me curled up in one of the oversized chairs.”
he looked over at one of the old, large leather chairs and imagined her curled up with a blanket, book, and cup of tea. it was an image that somehow brought even him peace. to know that somewhere there was someone who wasn’t burdened by the weight of the world, at least in these little moments, made him feel a little better.
“why’d he feel the need to do that?” jungkook asked before he could stop himself.
“because my mom asked him to…and he’s a good friend,” she gazed over at the older man who had taken a place in another chair with his nose in a book.
he was looking at her. for the first time in their short meeting he noticed a sadness in her eyes, worry on her brow.
“i hadn’t left my apartment in weeks, had honestly barely come out of my room. barely ate anything. couldn’t be bothered to answer texts let alone calls. all i could get myself to do was sleep.”
it was sounding all too familiar to jungkook.
“i hadn’t even showered in a week by the time namjoon made it over. i opened the door with greasy hair, a sweatshirt and shorts that i’d been wearing all week, and a headache. he didn’t judge me, just ushered me back inside. told me to get in the shower while he laid out our food, he even did my dishes. after we ate he said it was time to get out of my cave and brought me here. it was the first time i’d smiled in weeks.”
he felt a pang in his heart at the hurt in her voice. he saw a tear fall from her eye and reached over to wipe it from her cheek. he swore he felt her lean into his touch.
“sorry,” she said when he pulled away. “i so didn’t mean to unload on you the day we first meet. you must think i trauma dump on everyone.”
“i think you’re brave for being able to talk about it. even to a relative stranger.”
~a few weeks later~
jungkook found himself occupying space at the bookstore at least once or twice a week now. he and y/n found themselves growing close, becoming friends. he still couldn’t shake his listless feeling but coming to hang out with her while she worked, or read, helped. he started being more active in his group chat with the boys and started working out again.
“there’s someone i want you to meet,” he said one day out of the blue.
“oooh, do i finally get to meet jimin?” she teased.
“i mean i could arrange that. but no, that’s not who i was talking about,” he said, unsure of why his chest tightened and why he suddenly felt a pang of resentment toward his friend. “i think bam would really like you.”
he reveled in the way her eyes brightened. “oh my gosh. i would love to meet bam.”
“can i bring him here? he could use a day out.”
“absolutely. bring him here. i’ll read all the books to him and make him love me,” she said, causing him to laugh.
he didn’t know that every time he smiled or laughed when she at something she said or did, she felt a little lighter.
“excellent,” he said. “i’ll bring him tomorrow.”
and he did. he was right, bam did like her a lot. he commanded almost all of her attention. jungkook found himself smiling just watching the two interact.
“i think i like him more than i like you,” she told him.
“well, he is objectively better than me.”
~
she had quickly become one of his favorite people. which is why when about two weeks later when he walked into the bookstore and saw it was closed he began to worry. he pulled out his phone and called namjoon.
“is it weird for the store to be closed randomly?” was the first thing out of his mouth when the older man answered, not a greeting.
“well, hello to you too.”
jungkook sighed. “sorry, hyung. hello, how are you? is it weird for the store to be closed randomly?”
“y/n’s store?”
“yeah.”
“maybe she had appointments or something. is there a sign on the door?”
“no.”
“shit. hold on, let me call you back.” with that namjoon hung up quickly.
jungkook paced in front of the store, worry growing in his chest as he sent her a quick text, not wanting to pry too much in case she really was busy.
“where is she?” he mumbled to himself. he didn’t realize how important this new routine had become to him until this moment. he answered his phone immediately when it rang.
“she’s at her apartment. her mom said she hasn’t left since the last time you were at the store.”
“hyung, that was like a week ago. can you tell me where her apartment is?”
namjoon gave him his address, not thinking of the potential consequences because they were both worried.
jungkook walked quickly back to his car and tried his best not to speed to her apartment building. traffic was not on his side today as he hit every red light and there were many vehicles on the road, more than he remembered when he was on his way to the store to begin with.
besides their first meeting, they never really spoke about the time namjoon pulled her out of a dark place. he didn’t know what to expect when he pulled into a parking space in front of the tall building. he pushed the button to the elevator and bounced on his feet. it was taking too long. he let his eyes flit back and forth between the door for the stairs and the elevator (that still wasn’t here). he shook his head and kicked the door open.
not once did it cross his mind until later as to why he opted to run up twelve flights of stairs for a girl he wasn’t dating and/or sleeping with - a girl he’d only known a matter of weeks. adrenaline must have kept him going because he ran all the way to her door and knocked. after his frantic knocking, he doubled over, hands on his knees, breathing hard.
it took a couple of minutes but soon the door began to open slowly. jungkook lifted his head, peering through his hair, and saw that the door was only opened slightly and there was no light but he could make out the rough shape of a human.
he stood up to his full height. “i wasn’t sure you’d open the door,” he said, hoping to lighten the mood.
“couldn’t see anyone through the peephole. thought it might be a child.”
“half right. can i come in?” he asked, smiling big at the girl.
“i don’t know, jungkook. it’s kind of a mess in here and-”
“i could not care less about the state of your apartment. i only care that you’re breathing and if you’ll let me in so we can talk.”
she let out a shaky breath, “okay.”
the door opened wider and she shuffled back, giving him space to enter. once he was in her apartment and the door was shut again, he searched for a lamp or some form of light.
does she have blackout curtains up in the living room? he asked himself.
once he located a lamp by the couch, he made himself comfortable. it was her effect on him, when she was around he felt at ease, even when she was in this state.
she sat down on the opposite side of the couch, facing him, legs bent in front of her, like a shield. “did my mom call namjoon again?”
“no, i think he called her actually. i went to the store and it was closed so i called him.”
“and then you pulled a namjoon and showed up? but without food?”
“he’s more nurturing than i am. plus, i was in a bit of a rush.”
“why? i was just sleeping.”
“for a whole week?”
“maybe.”
“y/n…” he sighed.
he didn’t know what to say to make this situation better. so he opted to ask the question that had been on his mind since the day they met.
“why? why does this happen?”
she looked down at her hands, picking at her cuticles. “i-” she sniffled.
“hey,” he said quietly, moving closer to her and taking her hands in his. “whatever you’re going to say, doesn’t change anything. let me in. please.”
she didn’t look up at him when she said, “i’m type two bipolar. and when i’m on my medication i feel fine. but the pharmacy is having some issues getting it this time so i haven’t been able to take it.”
“i’m not gonna try to pretend to know what that’s like but i’m so sorry it’s happening.”
“thanks,” she mumbled. “most of the time, i’m fine. or i can pretend. but sometimes when i’m off my meds, before the mania can set in, i end up sleeping. a lot.”
“what happens when the mania sets in?” he wanted to be prepared for what she might need from him. he wasn’t prepared this time and for that he’ll always feel a little disappointed in himself.
“it changes every time. one time i decided i was going to grow my own vegetables and bought all the things, including soil, to do that.”
“how’d that go?”
“it didn’t.”
they sat in silence for a few minutes before he broke it. “i’m sorry.”
“you don’t have to apologize for something that’s not your fault. my brain just doesn’t behave right without help. it’s no one’s fault,” she smiled sadly at him.
before he could stop himself, he pulled her to him in an awkward, tight hug. “okay but promise me one thing.”
“what’s that?”
“you’ll let me know when it gets like this again. i don’t want you sitting here alone.”
“i can’t promise that, jungkook.”
“what if we set up a simple code? like you send a not very used emoji. like that one that has smoke covering its face.”
“what is that one even for?”
“it’s for this, obviously.”
“okay, i promise.”
“good.”

KHOC Week Day 2 - New World
HEY! It’s the second day of @khoc-week Wooooo
So I have a lot to share for this. But I’m going to focus on the age old favorite of Halloween Town, because that’s where I just finished writing them at in FT.
First, I want to start with Hinata. She arrived first in Halloween Town, along with Axel and Riku. They were in pursuit of a Replica and formed a shaky alliance to track her down. When they arrived all three of them got completely different looks. Hinata was mostly unhappy with hers, while Riku and Axel ended up looking pretty cool.
I have this incredible piece by @amyhayanora that depicts them in their outfits from a scene in The Forgotten Traveler Chapter 17
Next is Sam. The poor thing does not have good luck with the ship’s magic drive. For some reason, she doesn’t get to be fully human. There is a reason, it’s just spoilers and such. Anyway, I am a huge fan of Legend of Zelda and when I think of the creatures in Nightmare Before Christmas I always think of the fish guy. So Sam got a fishy experience.
-----------------------------------------
Excerpt from The Forgotten Traveler Chapter 19—
(note: remember that crazy robot B.E.N from Treasure Planet? yeah he travels with them)
-----------------------------------------
Halloween Town was just as gloomy as the name would suggest. Gravestones and gargoyles stood intertwined with black thorny vines and rotting pumpkins. In the center of the field was a hill that curled into itself at the end, the entire thing silhouetted by the full moon.
"I didn't think this place would take its name so literally." Sam sidestepped a smashed pumpkin, gagging at the sight of rats and maggots devouring its remains. "I don't even want to know how it made me look."
"Yeeeah, that's probably for the best," Ben assured her, a few steps ahead as he scanned the area for any signs of Riku and Hinata. He had made it off nearly scot-free from the magic drive, spare for a darker shade of rust, a brighter, eerie glow to his eyes, and crusted blood splattered over his joints. "If you ask me—"
"I didn't," Sam reminded him, but he continued regardless.
"—I'd say you'd be better off under water." He tapped his chin. "Maaaaybe near Neverland! I hear there's plenty of sea monsters there. If DiZ's world encyclopedias are anything to go by, which"—he laughed—"why wouldn't they be, amiright?"
Sam inwardly groaned, stopping mid step and allowing Ben to continue on as he walked further and further away. "Of course I get stuck with him tagging along," she grumbled under her breath, reaching up her hand to rub her hair. Then she paused, realizing there was no hair to touch. Instead, her fingers were met with a slick, slimy skin that reminded her of touching a fish left too long on the counter— something she had done one too many times. "Oh come on!" She held out her hand in front of her, seeing the bluish tint to her now long webbed fingers. Suddenly, Ben's comments on her belonging with other sea monsters didn't seem so far-fetched.
"Don't say I didn't warn you!" Ben called back to her, his hands cupped around his mouth.
Sam clenched her hands at her sides, shutting her eyes tight and taking in a long deep breath. "Please tell me Velcia's coming down soon."
-----------------------------------------------
Yeeeeah... she got to be based on a zombified zora. Sorry Sam.
Velcia though, my husband had the coolest design idea for her and I was so excited to get the chance to draw it.
An amazing ghost witch! She’s a potion maker by trade in Thebes, so it just fits so perfectly! All the ingredients hanging from the dress’ threads, the potions eerily glowing and dangling from the branches, ahhh so cool! I really need to up my design game. My husband has me beat.
Here is some more art I have of Hinata in her Halloween Town look. It was originally designed by someone on DeviantArt by the name of VelvetCookieVT. I hosted an art contest for participants to design a new world outfit for Hinata, and whoever won would get their outfit and world choice put into the story. I held the contest years ago and it just finally got put in. Anyway, here is the original artwork of Hinata’s Halloween Town look.
I was absolutely in love with it. Hinata was not lol! But she managed.
Also, bonus of Hinata’s Christmas Town look that was co designed by me and @amyhayanora.

Hi. Can you write a smut scene that starts with love at first sight between the female reader and my favorite Disney villain, Captain James Hook from the original animated Disney Peter Pan 1953 film please? I would appreciate it if you can because I have a serious fan girl crush on him.
Love To Lust
Captain Hook (1953 Film) x Fem Reader
Summary: Love at first sight turns into something more...
Warnings: Oral and vaginal sex (female x male), dirty talk, unprotected sex
A/N: Hey! Thank you so much for the request! The 1953 film has to be one of my favourite versions and I hope I've done it and your request justice <3
---------------------------------------------------------
Neverland had been your home for years, it was peaceful on the island, full of fun and laughter between you and the Lost Boys. It had always been that way, until one day it wasn't. One day, you fell in love and the boys, Peter, wasn't too happy with that.
"I don't think it's right how you feel for him Y/n, I'm sorry but that's how I feel" Peter was very gentle as he spoke, he always was with people, it's one of the reasons you loved him so much. He was like a brother to you and he wanted to protect you but you couldn't let him this time.
"But Peter, he was- he gave me this feeling that I've never felt before, this spark inside of me, this- this sense of adventure, an adventure I have to pursue" You knew what you were saying may have been crazy but as the interaction with this man kept running through your mind your desire to see him again only grew larger.
“He’s the villain Y/n, he’s not a good person and definitely not someone you should be falling in love with” Peter looked desperate as he tried to convince you, he couldn’t have you get hurt.
“Well I’m sorry but you can’t stop me this time Peter, I need to see him again” And without waiting to hear another word from Peter you walked away taking bag you had packed with you from your bed and closing the door to your hut behind you, leaving Peter standing and staring at where you had just stood in defeat.
As you walked you pulled a note out of your pocket and opened it up reading the words written for the 100th time making sure you were heading to the right place. At the end of your interaction the man had slipped you a note, one that told you to meet him at night fall by the shore line where you’d first met.
There was no sign of him once you reached the shore line, you looked around you, turning in circles until you heard a voice coming from the sea. This confused you until you saw his boat, him standing on his boat, lowering an anchor into the water and putting down a ramp that would allow anyone to enter or exit.
“You coming or what?” He spoke, his voice just how you remembered it, it had only been a few hours but it felt like a life time since you had seen him, a lifetime you never wanted to wait before seeing him again. So of course you hurried towards the boat, your shoes getting wet as you walked through the water to reach the ramp. Carefully walking up the ramp and onto the boat, he was waiting for you there, his hand stretched out for you to take, which of course you did.
He led you across the deck of the ship, into the captains cabin and over to the bed where you both sat down.
“I don’t believe I ever formally introduced myself” He spoke looking into your eyes. You smiled at him as you replied.
“No I don’t believe so”
“Captain Hook at your service my dear, but you can call me James” He spoke with a slight bow and you giggled as bowed back introducing yourself.
“Y/n L/n”
“What a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl” A blush formed on your cheek as James compliment you, his hand coming up to tuck your hair behind your ear and you took the opportunity to speak.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you after our first meeting, you’re so handsome and I just felt this feeling that I had never felt before. I knew I had to see you again, I knew I wanted to get to know you more, I had to get to know you more”
“Well aren’t you a sweet thing. Don’t worry darling I felt the exact same way for you. I don’t ever want to let you go now that I’ve got you this close to me. I think I’m falling for you” James confessed and he moved his face closer to yours, one hand cupping your face and the other holding your hand.
“Are you falling for me too?” Your could merely nod, flustered by his words and actions as you swallowed the lump in your throat. With your confirmation James closed the gap between you two kissing you slowly. Your lips moved in a smooth and gentle rhythm together for a few moments because the kisses became for harsh, faster and more desperate. Your hands making there way to his hair as his made their way to your shirt. His actions were skilful as he began to take your clothes off, throwing them to the floor and pushing you to lie down as he removed his clothing discarding them to the floor also.
You both lay naked on the bed now, wasting no time in reattaching your lips in a desperate manner. Your emotions were running wild, your head spinning as James’ lips moved to your neck, sucking and biting, leaving marks in its path. You had barely spoken to him but god had you fallen and fallen hard at that.
“You’re gorgeous my dear, so fucking gorgeous” James spoke lowly, his eyes roaming your body and his hands reached for your breasts, fondling and pinching the hard nipple making you let out a quiet moan. James chucked at your response, continuing his actions as his lips made their way back to your neck as quiet moans continued to spill from your mouth.
“Please” Your words came out quiet as you spoke. James’ actions stopped as you spoke and he looked up at your raising an eyebrow.
“Speak up dear”
“Please James, I want more” James smirked at your words.
“And what exactly is more darling?” You gulped nervously.
“I- I want-“ You turned your head to the side avoiding James’ eyes but he merely grabbed your chin making you look at him once more.
“No need to be nervous, tell me what you want Y/n” You took a breath before speaking.
“I want you to fuck me James” James’ smirk returned at your words.
“Such bold words for such a small girl” His hands ran down your body sending shivers down your back and making you close your eyes. This made you unaware of his next movement, his finger swiping at your entrance making you gasp with shock and delight.
“So wet for me Y/n, but will I fit inside of you?” This was the first time you’d looked down at his body, you looked him up and down, his was handsome beyond belief, like nothing you’d ever seen before and fuck- he was huge. Your eyes widened at the sight making James laugh, he found joy in your reactions, your nerves and your flustered stutters.
“You still want me to fuck you darling?” He asked, your eyes still wide as they looked into his. You didn’t hesitate to nod.
“Yes, please James, stretch me out and fuck me”
“As you wish” He wasted no time in slamming two fingers into you, they were long and slim, quickly moving in and out of you. Your head thrown back at the feeling, your mouth open as your moans grew louder. Adding two more finger James sped his pace, separating his fingers inside of you and stretching you nice and wide for his cock to fit. And that’s exactly what he tested next. Removing his fingers from inside of you he placed his cock at your entrance, pushing slowly inside of you, feeling your wall as stretch around him, still tight but wet making it easy to slide inside of you.
Your head was throw back, your jaw dropped and loud moans of delight spilling from your lips. James took this as an insensitive to keep going. He thrusted in and out of you. Hard and fast, his cock slamming against you, your walls stretching every thrust, quickly adjusting to the size inside of you. Your moans very only increasing in volume by the minute, your hands reaching to grab at James’ arms which were place either side of your head keeping himself up as he pleasured you. Your head reached up to kiss James passionately, as if it was the last thing you’d ever do because your eyes began to roll back into your head, your moans turning into screams and gasps as you squeezed James’ arms tightly, your head dropping back down onto the bed.
“Faster, oh god faster James!” You cried out and James complied right away, grunting as his pace quicken, his thrusts becoming more powerful and pleasurable.
“How’s that feel baby? You feel good?” He asked you, one of his hands moving to your breast as the other kept him hovering above you.
“So fucking good, please don’t stop, you’re amazing” Your words were breathless as you became distracted by every feeling, every emotion, that James was giving you. You were in love and you felt amazing. He knew exactly what he was doing, like he had done it 100 times before, and well he probably had. But the way he he moved inside of you, the way his hands held you in a way that felt so good and so special, you wanted more of him.
“I think I’m going to to cum” You admitted, you felt yourself begin to pulse, tightening even more around James’ cock, squeezing it in a way that made James groan deeply.
“Me too darling, go ahead” And with his permission and one last thrust your toes curled in as you came, one last moan spilling from you as your eyes rolled back and you felt James pull out and finish on your stomach. You breathed heavily as James collapsed besides you making you turn your head to look at him.
“I love you James”
“I love you too Y/n”

The Real Captain Hook Disney Movie?
You know what Disney Live Action Remake (ish) we really need: Captain Hook!
Peter Pan was actually a phantom that lured kids to Neverland like the Pied Piper, made them forget about their parents and want to party on Neverland forever, and killed them when they grew up or missed Mommy!
But who wants to go home and get old when Jeremy Sumpter is whispering dreams in your ear?
Captain Hook was a child that escaped and becomes Peter's enemy because his childhood was taken away, and he tried to stop him from kidnapping and murdering more children. And the only portrayal of that story that I’ve seen that even comes close to touching Peter Pan's dark roots was Once Upon a Time! And Peter Pan was Rumpstiltskin’s father in that version! As a diehard OUAT time, the show should hold a huge credit for giving us the closest portrayal to the real Peter Pan that we’ve ever gotten. Even then, there wasn’t a real focus on the rivalry between him and Killian (Hook) since it leaned more into the father-son dynamic the show set up.
Robbie Kay did awesome btw, his Peter was chilling and absolutely none of my fondness for the Disney version carried over, I hated this kid's guts!
(Oh yeah, disclaimer before I go on: no I’ve never seen Robin William’s Hook, I was too young when it came out and I never got around to seeing it, so that one’s probably good, but I’m not sure how it potrays Hook, please don’t kill me hehe)
Disney is probably the biggest influence of making Peter Pan known as a mischievous cutiepatootie that just loves to have fun, and doesn’t want to become an adult because he thinks you can’t have fun anymore as an adult. And I totally adore that version of him. Unfortunately, Disney decided to make Hook into an incompetent bumbling buffoon (which I do get in a sense because essentially he was ripped from his family at a young age and never really got to grow up and mature in a conventional sense, get his full education etc.) But, man he was no match for Peter at all! If Peter Pan is supposed to be so difficult to best, it should be because he's a clever quick-witted trickster, not because his opponent is so pathetically dim-witted and easily defeated! It takes away from both of their characters a little. We're supposed to believe Hook become a captain of anything by any other means than "the least dumb pirate so captain by default?" Really? This man lives on a *boat* and jumps into his crew's arms when he hears a crocodile or octopus nearby!
Bruh! You're a pirate! 😐
Granted he has clever moments like consoling a dejected Tinkerbell and getting her to reveal the Lost Boys' hideout, and in Return to Neverland he (almost) successfully manipulates Jane into trusting him. But even then, it's doesn't take a ton of sharp wit to use a child's naivety and a recently scorned fairy's notorious jealousy against them. Not that I've tried.
But anyway, if Disney wants a remake idea that isn’t note-for-note from the animation, showing Captain Hook’s side of the story a-la-Maleficent I think would be a good move, showing that Hook really was the good guy all along. Give him actual leadership skills, nautical knowledge, swordsman skills, etc. Play around with the balance between holding onto your childhood and developing maturity, go into origin stories about Peter having a terrible relationship with his mother and choosing to leave her for eternal youth in Neverland, vs. Hook having a wonderful mother that he misses every day, and his childish tendencies are because he was ripped from his mother's care before he was able to learn how to face fears like losing your hand to a crocodile. Maybe Hook sacrifices his childlike innocence and loses the ability to use pixie dust and escape Neverland because stopping Peter from doing the same to more children is more important than his return home. Let the bitter irony of growing up being both the only way to defeat Peter and reason Hook will never see his mother again callous over his innocent young heart and make him more and more pirate-like out of desperation to escape, and he starts letting things slide that used to keep him awake at night-like nearly leaving Tiger Lilly for dead in a cave filling with water- because the end justifies the means: Hook had to defeat Peter. That boy took his mother away from him, and anyone who stands with Peter-Tinkerbell, mermaids, three Darling children who have trusted him- is the enemy. Fuel Hook's rage towards Peter because they'll never see eye to eye on loving the people who raised you, and the absolute frustration of everyone in Neverland being in love with Peter, and the unintelligent band of swashbuckler thieves are his only aid in bringing Peter Pan down. Hook dances on a line between noble cause and pure revenge, until eventually, the other pirates offer him a leadership position: Captain. This authority will be the death of his youth, ensuring Hook is trapped on Neverland forever, but this way, Hook is the only way there will be no more Lost Boys and no more innocent children crying for their mothers before Peter kills them.
Maybe show children viewers that the world doesn’t always works as Kids vs Adults like they think. There are good adults and bad kids, and a live action Captain Hook that harkens to the orginal folktale could be a great way to be more original with the live action adaptations this time around. I don't know, I'm just tossing ideas around.
I know Disney just dropped Peter Pan and Wendy, so making Peter the villain is probably nowhere near becoming an idea Disney would consider creating, but hey, I can dream. And I really don’t mind seeing Peter as a immature yet lovable scamp at all. I just think Hook’s story would be a good way to give Disney fans something more original. With the exceptions of less popular Peter Pan movies and shows, Hook probably, and what I think 2015′s Pan would’ve tried to do if it wasn’t too bland to get a sequel greenlit (man I would’ve kinda loved to see Garret Hedlund as full fledged Hook and not prequel cowboy Hook or whatever was going on, none of that movie made much sense regardless.)
Many many adaptations have chosen not to stay true to the source material and pander to kids because “Kids Rule!” (sorry that sounds so 90s, I’m a milennial!) so maybe this can give Disney something creative and original to give to fans who don’t feel that’s what they’ve been getting from Disney lately.

There are so many things I want to know more about on your list of WIPs! Would you start with 'star's becoming' and 'david/michael car sex', though?
star's becoming
One of the things I appreciate about Star is that despite not being allowed much agency in the actual movie, she is shown to be a strong person. We don't know how long she has been stuck between human and vampire, but compared to Michael she seems to have a lot of control over her urges which speaks to an inner strength. This was me pondering the idea of 'hey, what if Star gave in and became a vampire before the Emersons ever arrived in town?' and then thinking about what it would've taken for her to lose hope and give up. Then it hit me:
-x-
She should’ve been watching him.
That’s her refrain, her useless guilt over the consequences of less than half an hour’s inattention – Laddie bloody-mouthed and yellow-eyed in the shadows under the pier, a body at his feet.
Star utters a soft, broken noise and feels her knees hit sand. She reaches out with trembling hands to check for a pulse but stops short before her fingers can touch skin. It’s a boy, just a few years older than Laddie maybe, dressed in ratty denim and battered tennis shoes. Mouth slack and half open against the grit of the sand, a dark stain spreading from his mangled throat already drying like rust beneath him.
Hunger rises in her like a serpent and it takes more willpower than it should not to roll the corpse over and tongue at the ragged edges of the wound. “Laddie.” His name is barely a whisper squeezed through her too-tight throat.
He hears her anyway.
“Star,” he says, voice thick and faintly lisping like he can’t figure out how to talk around the fangs jutting past his lower lip. He tilts his head quizzically, button nose wrinkled and the shelf of his brow thick over his inhuman eyes. “Why are you crying?” He reaches for her face with one small hand as cold as ice and she snatches his wrist before he can wipe the tear from her cheek. Her still-blunt teeth bared in a grimace.
It’s not his fault, she tells herself. He doesn’t – it’s been harder for him than it has for her, which is saying something. He’s just a little boy.
Thanks to her inattention this evening, a little boy is all he’ll ever be.
“Star?” he says again, tone plaintive. “Please don’t be mad at me.” His amber eyes are wide and his bottom lip quivers, a prelude to tears. “I didn’t mean to, I was just so hungry and he cut himself on the rocks and I – please don’t be mad.”
“I’m not,” she lies, keeping her eyes on him rather than look at the bloodied sand. Her grip on his wrist is too tight and she drops her hand as if scalded, picking at the sequins on her skirt. “I’m not, okay. It’s – everything will – ” she gives up, platitudes dead on her tongue before she’s even started. “Just wait here for a bit, mkay?”
Flight is normally a source of joy for her, a pure pleasure. To rise weightless into the sky and soar among the clouds is the stuff of every childhood dream and not even the ugly darkness behind the Neverland David had given her had ever taken that simple happiness away. Tonight she feels heavy as she picks up the pile of limp, gangly limbs. Star skims over the waves until the shoreline has faded behind her and lets the small body slip from her arms where it drifts a few feet below the surface of the waves. On her return to the beach she wordlessly gathers Laddie into her arms and flies them both back to the hotel.
-x-
david/michael carsex[nsft]
Michael feels like there should be more to a relationship than belligerent sexual tension and blood drinking, so he had the bright idea to ask David to come on a date with him. As soon as the words left his mouth he braced himself for mockery, but to his mortification David not only agreed like it was no big deal, he insisted on choosing the movie. (Aka the PWP where two horny vampire teens go to the drive-in in a stolen car and very little movie watching is actually done. You only get a little snippet here because I DO HAVE SOME STANDARDS and not posting uncooked smut is one of them)
Michael loved getting head; it was probably one of his top five things about living on planet earth and he couldn’t say he’d ever met a guy who thought different. But he’d always liked giving it too, not minding the taste and the wetness on his tongue as he dove in and lapped it up, his ex-girlfriends moaning appreciatively as they soaked his face. This time was different for obvious reasons. Ugly thoughts came to mind, sneering voices making it into something degrading and unmanly. But Michael found he didn’t care; he wanted to do this. He wanted to make David feel good.
Mind made up, Michael rubbed the pad of his thumb across the head of David’s dick and wet his lips before leaning across the centre console to bend down.
