#not 100% happy with it but I think it’s good enough?

i stay true to my word chat

hcs for pre-crash gf!lottie who’s obviously RICH RICH but her partner is less privileged

cause we KNOWWW lottie’s the type to spoil

☆ — lottie matthews with a poor partner

✧ masterlist — navigation

✧ carmillas thoughts — lottie they could never make me hate you. my delusional weird freaky (not) secretly wuh luh wuh queen. i wrote this with a fem reader in mind but it can be read as any gender tbh

✧ warnings — none that i’m aware of

very first thing to keep in mind is lottie would absolutely never ever judge you for being less privileged or for anything else

she’s super understanding of everything and will always step in to help out with things if needed, even if you don’t ask

if you needed extra money but felt horrible for asking i promise you she does not care, she’s 100% said she has enough money for the both of you

your parents probably love her because the second she has even an inkling there’s not enough money she just happens to casually leave some at your house while she’s there or she takes you shopping and just happens to buy things your family needs

also please let her spoil you i know she’d want to so bad

would ask you shopping at least twice a month and if you’re like “lottie i don’t have enough money” she’s like “it’s okay girl i got you”

type of gf to stand outside the change rooms and wait for you (would 100% wanna see, please show them to her)

she’s also veryyyy good at telling what will look amazing on you vs what wouldn’t, but is really good with being subtle about it

like if you were looking at something she’d be like “oh this is cute!” and drag you across the store

i just know this diva also randomly shows up at your house with things she thinks you might need

she genuinely acts as if it’s not a problem (it’s not. she does not care if your wealthy) and is honestly more than happy to get you and your family whatever you might need no matter what it is

god forbid someone says anything about you or your family or literally just anything slightly related to you because she starts tweaking

she herself isn’t a shit talker and is not a violent person, however she is friends with shit talkers and violent people and she does nawt want anyone talking shit about you

she herself doesn’t go too far with like a rumour or something, but the rest of the yellowjackets do because they also love you

she’d be super worried before nationals (if you weren’t coming with her or weren’t on the team) for obvious reasons but she tries not to be overbearing about it

however she definitely leaves you some money just in case it’s needed while she’s away

if you do come with her to nationals for whatever reason she still leaves money for your parents or whoever you live with because she doesn’t want anything to happen to them

she may seem kind of overbearing sometimes, but she doesn’t think any less of you for not being rich like she is and she loves being able to help you

Is there any good reason why Stolas didn’t divorce Stella after they had Octavia?

There are a few reasons I can think of.

First, we know the marriage was loveless and bad from the start, arranged since they were kids and forced. But I don’t see why Stolas would think that he should divorce from the start, since that is not common for their social class and society (Andrealphus mentioned this when they are signing the divorce, that this is a very uncommon case in the Goetia family).

Marry for love is a concept that hasn’t been present in all ages and in all societies as it is today in the western world. Some people have ended up loving the person they are arranged with, or they have managed to have a happy life with them, even if there is no love. Others have ended up marrying not the person they love but someone else they have a good relationship with (like lavender marriages), and they are not 100% happy… but they manage to live a peaceful and good life with the other person. Some of them even negotiate seeing other people outside of the marriage, others don’t and perhaps they always silently carry a cross. Some arranged or forced marriages end up being a nightmare too. But they just keep appearances.

Where do I want to take this? That Stolas trying to make the marriage work at the start is not a uncommon or ilogical thing. Is the thing that would carry less issues to him, the family and his daughter. You can see that when Octavia was little they even shared a bed. So, maybe the marriage wasn’t as hostile as it is now since the start. But the issues where already there… we can see Stella far away from Stolas, taking all the sheets for her and leaving him colder.

In this same scene Stolas tries to make Stella more involved with Octavia’s raising. But Stella doesn’t want to, and he sighs like this is a common thing. He wants her to be with him in those moments, because since he didn’t had a present father and seemingly his mother wasn’t there (for some reason we don’t know), probably he wanted Octavia to have both of her parents present.

So, basically here we are seeing what Stolas says here:

Probably Stella started to turn more and more difficult with the years. Eventually they stopped sleeping together, or trying to have the family. Now, why Stolas didn’t divorved when things were more worse? At the start he tried to give Octavia a normal family life. But now, why?

Well, this might be a case when things start to get slowly worse and you just accept it as part of things, slowly normalize it even if it starts to harm you (like the analogy of the frog in the slowly heating water). At the same time Stolas started to get his depression, because all the abuse endured; and when Blitzø comes into his life, again he has given up happiness as a possibility for him. At all.

If you think about it, the reason why he ends up divorcing Stella is when he sees that the situation makes Blitzø feel bad and impedes them to be able to pursue something beyond the deal they have. He does it more for Blitzø and the possibility of them having a relationship than he does for himself. He wouldn’t have done it if Blitzø didn’t came into his life, because he had already accepted that was his reality.

This is why he says Blitzø is his light. Because it made him feel strong after a lot of time of feeling powerless. He made him feel alive after a lot of time of being dead in life.

I don’t know if these count as good reasons, but, they have been the ones the show have given so far and for me they make sense enough.

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

It seems like some of the arguments around the definitions of bisexuality vs pansexuality have circled back around into No True Scotsman fallacy?

The idea I keep seeing go around is that pansexuality emerged, completely unecessarily, from an idyllic trans-and-nonbinary-inclusive bisexual identity. The posited alternative is that bisexuality is Inherently Transphobic, which would of course be biphobic (and is easily + immediately rebutted with the Bisexual Manifesto's trans-inclusive definition from the 1990s).

But... it seems plausible that both narratives could be partially true? That bisexuality is not inherently transphobic or binary and has always contained people who are inclusive and trans-friendly, and that some historical groups of exclusionary bi people could have created a social impetus to coin a new label that signalled trans inclusion?

The Bisexual Manifesto rocks, it's a really wonderful source! But it is one publication, by a small contingent of a huge population. I am sure there are contemporaneous sources where bisexuality was being defined in binary/exorsexist ways at that point and earlier. There were bisexual women who were part of exclusionary/TERF groups! Exclusion was not universal or intrinsic to bisexuality, but it did occur in some pockets.

It seems very fragile and unfair to our pansexual siblings to construct a perfect and unified bisexuality, where any attempt to push back or investigate our shared history with a critical eye is inherently biphobic and ahistorical

I made Eurydice's parents hehe

Daeron and Delphine are a pair of Harpers who met in the early 1300s DR after being assigned to aid a secluded druidic circle in the protection of a pool of radiance. Nigh on 25 years into the assignment they welcomed their first and only child, a daughter. She was the light of their lives: clever and witty with a knack for mischief-making, they knew she was destined for great things (and told her as much... often).

They were proud when she struck out on her own to attend a bardic college in Cormyr, prouder still when she started making a name for herself as an adventurer. But their proudest moment was also their darkest, watching in horror as their only child flung herself into the pool of radiance to stop the Cult of the Dragon from seizing its power. A blinding silver light flooded the grove of ancient oak trees that housed the pool. When it dimmed, the pool was still and their daughter was gone.

Distraught, Daeron and Delphine jumped into the pool after her, its magic now drained, searching in vain for any sign of their daughter. They mourned her for nearly a century, never straying far from the circle, always hoping that one day, somehow, she would find her way home to them.

Hope and belief are two different things, and that was never more clear than when, 98 years later, the circle's archdruid barreled through their door and told them that something has happened at the pool. They raced to the oak grove, where they found two healers crouched over a sopping wet figure at the pool's bank. They couldn't bring themselves to believe their eyes, afraid to blink and disturb the illusion before them. The figure looked up at them, eyes wide and afraid, and when she opened her mouth any doubts about whether this was real faded in an instant.

"Mum? Dad?"
