hello hello can u tell us about jouka's curse?

YES if you want more on vouniverse here’s my tag for it: vouniverse

YES jouka time<3 i literally love talking about him, if given the chance i would NEVER shut up about him which might be kind of egotistical but i’ve really put so much thought and care into almost every aspect of him (for example mireuk’s rapier is supposed to represent lancelot’s red hilted sword BUT there were truly some aspects that came as a surprise or like...that i realized much later like how jouka’s torn red silk around mireuk’s new sword can represent again like how they’re both doomed to kill the person they love most, but also, that it’s the red string of fate that connects them!!! literally i was like “oh shit my subconcious mind that was SOOO sexy” aosdjfassa), but it’s always very different and heart warming when someone else cares for jouka too, you know? 🥺😭💌 this is gonna be long so i’ll put it under a read more here<3

i had inspiration for jouka’s curse from diana wynne jones’ howl’s moving castle! i always loved the concept of how even though sophie was cursed at first by the witch of the waste, it is her own power and subsequently her own self-hatred that keeps her in that state — likewise, i wanted jouka’s self inflicted curse to (im just gonna copy and paste what i wrote last night in a text post bc mind broken aosifjdsaofda:) it’s supposed to represent how negative self thought can cause people to spiral into further negative self reflection to the point that it’s impossible to get out of, or rather, it takes genuine reflection and assessment and the desire to change and make mistakes and get better to truly foster a sense of self-love and self respect.

for jouka he’s the bastard son, he’s technically the eldest, but he’s not because he’s NOT a proper tae, and throw in the fact that he’s the only half-elf? yikes. (i wanted him as a half-elf because i was like...well...........you know. when you’re multiethnic. how it is.) and tie that into the fact that despite the fact that he’s obviously hated and despised by the town + his father and step mother, he still WANTS to belong — even though he’s seen as less than dirt or a nuisance or even the fact he’s a scapegoat, even though he fucking hates everyone for how he’s treated, he still wants to belong, he still wants acceptance, he wants these people to want him too. [of course, lem and aino aren’t like this at all, if anything i’m very adamant that the siblings all truly love each other (which like we see bc jouka’s “korean” name has the same character that lem’s and aino’s do which is what occurs in siblings — they’re all “hwa/hua” and lem and aino GAVE jouka that character which shows of their acceptance of him as their brother) despite the fact that there may be tension between them in regards to lem burdening the responsibility of the silk trade and being jealous of jouka’s “freedom” while jouka doesn’t want to take lem’s place but he wants that respectability that isn’t given to him and then later on with jouka leaving aino and aino being understandably upset and simultaneously not wanting to see him again but wanting to reunite.]

SO, jouka at his core is this....he’s this little half shadow of what-could-bes and what-ifs and childish dreams which is why it’s so easy for him to slip into other guises, like, that of germy. jouka himself isn’t even THE real jouka, jouka goes by seokhwa even though his REAL name is seokga, and isn’t that scary that jouka doesn’t even know WHO seokga is?

ANYWAYS CURSE. so. mireuk of course we know because i’m telling you this that he’s actually the “hero” of the story and that the eventual twist is that he’s doublecrossing the people in power at the end this entire time — mireuk who stabs jouka because jouka is, rightfully infuriated, that someone he loved would destroy their village, destroy aino’s hardwork, implied to have killed lem or have been responsible in lem’s death but the worst part is that it’s not just that at all? jouka, who hated the village even though he longed for acceptance and connection, jouka who wanted to destroy and grind everyone to dust who was cruel to him, for jouka — if mireuk had told him, if mireuk had said that he was going to set the village on fire and kill, jouka WOULD have been fine with it, as long as aino was okay — for jouka, his disgust stems also not from his self hatred and lack of self worth but from the fact that he wishes that were him, that he was the one who was setting the fire aflame, that he was the one to hurt and destroy and kill. jouka is, a kind person, he’s gentle yes, but he’s not a good person — he’s never really been a good person in that all he cares about only are his siblings, lem and aino, and mireuk (and eventually, nyx) and now seeing the fact that mireuk killed lem, how can jouka reconcile that? SO mireuk stabs jouka in the shoulder and tells him to run as far as he can — and maybe i was like...a bit too indulgent in that i too have a shitty shoulder, but in that scar that one of the loves of jouka’s life gives him (the other love of his life being, nyx, of course), a physical manifestation of jouka’s self hatred is present, it bubbles up, it debilitates him, it glows and it grows and it overtakes his body. jouka uses music to temper that and i’ve talked about that before and how that ties both into finnish and korean mythos/shamanism. but when jouka then goes to the elves and the elves say that it’s life threatening it truly is supposed to represent how jouka’s hatred at everything is something that he internalizes so much that it’s killing him slowly and painfully and that not even his implied godhood can save him because if you believe in something enough, of course it’ll be true — and for jouka who is this like literal ball of loathing and missed chances and regrets and so so so very contradictory, it’s something that he blames on mireuk while knowing deep down that it’s HIM that’s the problem the entire time but unwilling and too scared to actually look into it.

#i gave jouka some parts of me but a lot of his characteristics + thought process is very alien to me #but i think jouka's curse is one that i feel like a majority of people can relate to #just how like...when you're at your worst and how your self deprecating thoughts NEVER help and will always dig you deeper and deeper #and entrench you further into a distorted self image + reflection....#THAT'S what i wanted to get at.#oh god does this make sense at all??a soifdjasodas #vouniverse #anon #Anonymous

Omg I just found your blog and I love it so much. JLAU is my favoritest DC canon ever. EVER. The only Batman I ever want (except for maybe Adam West and ok Michael Keaton can stay and I’m not mad at Will Arnett either but I digress).

Ok so this is just in case you might be interested, but you also might hate it bc ..... see, here’s the thing. I HARDCORE ship JLAU WonderBat AND GreenHawk.

But I have this ongoing longfic that is my lovesong to Timmverse and the thing is, my brain doesn’t like to write normal couples I ship irl. It likes to write rarepairs.

So. Um. It is entirely set in JLAU and it’s an ensemble fic with the whole team but. Well. I TEAR WONDERBAT APART AND PAIR DIANA WITH LEX LUTHOR 😭😭😭 because Bruce won’t commit to her and Lex loooooves her.

And ... and ... I let Mari and John stay together and PAIR SHAYERA WITH BATMAN (bc ok I do super love them together.)

Well I love Lex and Diana together too. It’s complicated. It’s an AU. In the show, I would DIE for WonderBat AND GreenHawk both and headcanon them happily ever aftering when the series ends.

But ... but ... rarepairs are so fun to play with. Mentally. And when I write.

So anyway just wanted to share my fic because you clearly love JLAU as much as I do but like I said you also might hate it because DEAR GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE so absolutely no pressure to even check it out, sometimes I myself just can’t deal with unhappy endings for my ship couples even though it’s a messy complicated unhappy but also they realize they’re happier with other people (even tho in real life by which I mean JLU obviously they are PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER AND GET TOGETHER IN MY HEAD).

Ahem.

A Light in the Dark

Also mind the tags and ratings, it’s rated E for sexual content

Omg thank you so much for the recommendation ❤️❤️ I think I've seen that one when I was skimming through the Ao3, but I'm definitely gonna give it a try

Sensible madness

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/34NkxPp

by Anna12aot

What if Kate and Bruce were born around the same time? What if the tragedies that made them the heroes they become, also happened around the same time? What if the two of them ended up living together? What if the two of them ended up as huge theater nerds? What if they had some actual healthy coping mechanisms along side their totally not super unhealthy vigilante detective hobby that nearly kills them on a weekly basis? What if everything wasn't a shitty cheap ass drama show written by racist, misogynist, homophobic, all the bad ism's and phobia's and ist's?

(No disrespect to the individuals who try to give us good diverse content. Actually, all the respect because DC as whole is a weak dumb ass bitch and kudos to those people for tolerating that bastard.)

Here is my sad, pathetic attempt to fix the DC universe that I am very much under qualified and under prepared for. Enjoy. (And I'll get to finishing the relationship tags soon, it's just not on the agenda right about now. There is just so many fucking characters. The character tags are technically unfinished because that won't be all of the characters showing up. Do I really hate myself and DC that much?)

Pick 5 TV Shows and answer the following questions, don’t cheat.

Tagged a long, long time ago by @emmawoodlhouse (so long that this was when their url was still breefrasers lmao)

American Housewife

Lost In Space

Brooklyn 99

Anne With An E

Good Omens

1. Who is your favorite character in 2?

Will Robinson definitely. Penny's a close second though.

2. Who is your favorite character in 1?

Gosh that's hard. Love all the Ottos, obviously, Luther included. But I also very much love Trip, Cooper, and Franklin. This is really really hard. If I absolutely have to choose though.. maybe Anna-Kat.

3. What’s Your Favorite Episode of 4?

Oh wow hmmm.. Either S3e5 where they practice dancing (Amybeth and Lucas really sold that sequence) plus Jerry starting to court Diana. Or S2e7 aka the period gay party episode.

4. What’s Your Favorite Season of 5?

Uh, well seeing as there's only one season... I'll replace season with episode: ep5. Really loved Adam's confrontation with his friends, Crowley being so proud that he saved Agnes's book was so sweet, and the séance with Madame Tracy was so well acted.

5. Who’s your favorite couple in 3?

Well, seeing as I'm only eight episodes in, Peraltiago.

6. Who’s your favorite couple in 2?

Vijay/Penny!

7. Least Favorite Episode of 1?

Idk maybe something in the first season

8. Least Favorite Episode of 5?

The first one just because they're still setting up the story

9. Favorite Season of 2?

Second one!

10. How long have you watched 1?

Late last year

11. How did you become interested in 3?

Like most series I'm interested in, YouTube clips. I mean I've seen stuff here and there but then I watched one of the compilations that the show posted on Youtube and because I was procrastinating I just didn't stop watching.

12. Favorite Actor in 4?

Dalila, probably. The actor(s) who played baby Delly was really good too, for a baby

13. Which do you prefer 1,2, or 5?

5, definitely the best show not even just between these, but among the shows I've watched in the last year

14. Which have you seen more episodes of 1 or 3?

again, seeing as I'm only starting 3, it's gotta be 1

15. If you could be anyone from 4 who would you be?

Aunt Josephine.

16. Would a crossover between 3 & 4 work?

Oh hmm.. maybe if it's a modern AU for awae? It's hard though, definitely can't be a long one

17. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple?

Principal Ablin and Maria lmao. Platonically, Franklin and Trip are alright.

18. Overall which show has a better storyline 1 or 3?

I haven't watched enough of 3 to answer this

19. Which has better theme music 2 or 4?

Definitely 4. They're using a relatiely old song, but it's like the song is written for the title character

Interlude IV

“I thought you were against celebrating Thanksgiving,” Michael deadpanned, watching Adam hurry around their kitchen.

“I am,” Adam explained, “Trust me, I am...but I was against the idea of my family until my mom’s family showed up. Them being here, it brings me closer to her.”

Michael smiled softly, just nodding, “What can I do to help?”

“Uh…” Adam trailed off, thinking, “We’re making pies, my grandfather is doing the turkey and stuff at home, it’s always been a tradition that he did that. Joy and Martin are coming too, since they don’t really have their parents anymore...most of my friends are coming, actually, except Jared.”

Michael swallowed, “I am still trying to locate him.”

“I know, you’re doing your best,” Adam smiled, kissing him on the cheek as he walked passed, making the guilt in Michael’s chest swarm around a little more.

“So who all is coming?” Michael changed the subject quickly.

“My grandpa, my grandma, my Uncle Keith, my Aunt Ellie, my two cousins, Lorie and Lorna, Lorna’s boyfriend, Mark, Lorie’s girlfriend, Elena…” Adam trailed off, trying to think, “Like I said, Martin, Joy, Ryka...Dawson,” he added, clearing his throat.

Michael tensed slightly, but didn’t say anything. Adam seemed stressed enough, he didn’t need Michael’s weird stomach feeling bothering him about Dawson.

“This will be good for you,” Michael said quietly, “Having a good family around.”

Adam smiled softly, finally stopping his running around for a minute and wrapped his arms around Michael’s neck, “My family is you...you’re the one who’s been in my life and been there for me the longest, Mike.”

Michael leaned down, pressing his lips against Adam’s.

Adam pulled away after a few seconds, “Okay, no distracting me, help me with this pie crust, halo.”

…

Dawson arrived first.

Of course he did.

Well, technically he arrived with Ryka, but that was beside the point.

He was still the first person to walk through the door, carrying a bowl of what Michael considered to look like chunks of blood.

Adam explained it was cranberry sauce and needed to go in the fridge until they ate.

Dawson sat on the couch like he owned the place and it annoyed Michael to no end as he sat there watching the “football” and drinking a beer.

“Two’s his limit,” Ryka explained as she helped Adam in the kitchen, “I’m putting him on a limit.”

“Joy said he had a problem with alcohol after…” Adam trailed off.

“It’s not your fault,” Ryka said quickly, “At all. Don’t think it is. People deal with grief in different ways.”

Adam just swallowed, nodding. He smiled at Michael weakly, where he was hovering in the doorway between the kitchen and living room, watching Dawson, “Hey, Mike, I’m pretty sure my granddad just pulled in, wanna help me carry some stuff inside?”

“Yes,” Michael said immediately, following him out the side door.

…

“Adam!” his grandfather, Kate’s father, James, called, waving as he stood beside his grandmother, Katherine, “Bring you and your muscles over here, we need some help.”

Adam chuckled, walking over with Michael, “Granddad, Grandma, this is my boyfriend, Michael.”

Boyfriend.

Michael had never thought of himself as a boyfriend before.

Of course, he and Adam were together. They’d been together for a thousand years but now they were together romantically by human standards.

He was a boyfriend.

Adam was his boyfriend.

“Well, good to meet you, Mike,” Katherine patted him on the arm.

“You the one who has been taking care of our boy?” James asked.

“Yes, sir,” Michael nodded, “I will do so everyday of my life.”

“He’s, uh…” Adam trailed off when he saw James and Katherine staring at him, “Formal.”

“Ah,” James nodded, “Mormon, then.”

Adam covered up his laughter with a cough.

Michael mouthed the word mormon in confusion but was quickly cut off by James shoving a huge pan into his arms.

“Take that on inside for me, Mike,” James clapped him on the shoulder, “I need to talk to Adam for a minute alone.”

Michael stared at Adam for a moment who nodded in encouragement, a smile on his face. He smiled back before turning and going inside the house, looking over his shoulder a few times as he did.

When he looked back, James had pulled Adam into a tight hug.

…

“My boy,” James said quietly, hugging Adam tightly.

Adam hugged him back, not saying anything. His grandparents had always lived too far away to be there for him when he was younger and his mom was working all the time, but they were still his grandparents, the only ones he had ever even met. He got to spend summers with them every year with Martin and Joy sometimes tagging along, it was always so peaceful with them.

“That man who took you is lucky they can’t find him,” James said, pulling away and touching the side of Adam’s face, “I’d kill the son of a bitch myself.”

Oh yeah.

The cover story.

The lie.

Adam smiled softly, “Don’t worry, grandpa, Michael is protecting me...and I’m pretty good at protecting myself.”

“Let’s not get so serious so quick,” Katherine said quickly, pulling Adam into a hug as well, “It’s a happy day, we’re all together again.”

Adam smiled, hugging her back just as tightly.

“So,” Katherine pulled away, her hands on his shoulders, “Tell me about Michael.”

…

“Stop spying,” Joy elbowed Michael, having snuck up on him.

Michael glared at them, seeing Martin standing beside his cousin, hands stuffed in his pockets.

“It’s his grandparents, we used to stay with them every summer when we were younger, chill, angel boy,” Martin rolled his eyes, “Come help us set up the table.”

Michael huffed and followed them.

“Not like they’re from the damn Visit or anything,” Martin scoffed.

“What is the Visit?” Michael looked confused, following after the cousins.

…

“Here, Mike, sit by me,” Adam said quickly, grabbing his hand and pulling him down to sit at the table with him.

Michael smiled softly, continuing to hold his hand under the table.

“Should we...say a prayer-” James started.

“Nope,” Adam said quickly, causing everyone to look up at him, “Everyone dig in.”

Everyone went silent.

“What?” Adam asked, “Our house, our rules.”

“I’m an atheist anyways,” Lorie shrugged, starting to eat as well.

Michael went to say something, but thought better of it.

“Good enough for me, let’s dig in,” Adam’s uncle, Keith, said simply.

…

“What are they doing?” Michael peered out the window.

“Football,” Martin said simply, wincing when Joy tackled Adam to the ground, “Joy always wins.”

“He won’t be hurt, will he?” Michael asked quickly.

“Well, you can just heal him if he does, right, angel?” Martin asked, taking a long drink of beer.

Michael narrowed his eyes, “I sense you have a problem.”

“Yeah, no shit,” Martin scoffed, “Dude, you’re an angel of the lord and you’re banging my best friend. This group doesn’t have the best experiences with God and stuff, because he hasn’t been helping us out much.”

“Yes, well, my Father never helped me out much either,” Michael snapped, continuing to watch out the window. He quickly leaned down and picked up Aira when she brushed against his legs, holding her close to his chest.

“He left Adam and I to rot in Hell for ten human years,” Michael told Martin softly, petting Aira’s head, “I have lost faith in him as well, you aren’t alone there.”

Martin stayed silent.

“And I am not banging Adam, we are boyfriends,” Michael added, “And I love him very much.”

And maybe he said it just a little louder, knowing Dawson was helping clean up in the kitchen.

But it made the weird feeling in his stomach feel a little better.

…

Adam closed the door once the last of his family left, letting out a sigh of relief. He rested his forehead on the cool door for a moment, finally letting out a breath he didn’t know he was really holding.

It had actually went well.

He felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around his waist and he sighed again, leaning back against Michael.

“I am happy you were happy with your family,” Michael told him softly, pressing a kiss to the side of his head.

Adam relaxed a little, “Me too...it was actually nice. They loved you too.”

“I’m glad,” Michael added, “But I am tired and would like to head up to bed. Will you join me?”

“Yeah,” Adam nodded, “Yeah, I will, Mike.”

…

Adam’s family’s FCs, they’ll be added to the character page tomorrow probably:

Cloris Leachman - Adam’s grandmother, Katherine Scott Glenn - Adam’s grandfather, James Kellan Lutz - Adam’s uncle (Kate’s younger brother), Keith Rebecca Ferguson - Adam’s aunt, Ellie Dakota Fanning - Adam’s cousin, Lorie Diana Silvers - Lorie’s girlfriend, Elena Elle Fanning - Adam’s cousin, Lorna Beau Mirchoff - Lorna’s boyfriend, Mark

Natural Born Killers Chapter 11 (Sam x Dean)

Title: Natural Born Killers Chapter 11

Summary: It started as an accident. That’s what it was. But things escalated from there and now the law wants Dean Winchester, one way or another

Warnings: Language

Present

Victor had left the room a bit ago to think about some of the things Sam had told him. There was no way that it could be true what he was saying. It all seemed a little too perfect, a little too rehearsed.

“Everything okay?” Diana asked. Victor sighed.

“He’s hiding something. I know he is. I just can’t get him to crack.” Victor told her.

“Maybe he’s telling the truth. Maybe he doesn’t know anything.” Diana suggested. Victor shook his head.

“I’ve seen his brother’s and dad’s files. I know what the Winchester’s are capable of. There’s no way that Sam is innocent.”

“Well, you’ve only got a few more hours to keep him.” Diana pointed out. Victor sighed.

“I know, I know.” He headed back to the interrogation room. He decided to sit outside and observe for a little bit. Because Sam was going to do something to slip up. He just knew it.

****

2006

Sam’s head hurt. He wasn’t sure if it was from being in the car the whole time, or if there was another vision/dream thing coming on. All he knew was he wanted to sleep and get rid of the headache. Dean had even turned on the soft rock station. Currently, a Bryan Adams song was playing lowly from the speakers and Sam had his eyes closed.

“Love makes monsters of us all.” A voice said in his head. Sam groaned a little moved, getting Dean’s attention. Sam hadn’t been sleeping very well the past few nights. Dean had hoped that being in Baby with the soft rock playing would help.

“De?” Sam asked, opening his eyes some.

“We’re almost there baby boy.” Dean said, playing with his hair for a bit. “How’s your head feel?”

“Hurts a little.” Sam said, sitting up more to stretch his back some. “I hope this Missouri has some answers for us.”

“Me too.” Dean mumbled.

They arrived in Lawrence and parked at a motel. Dean made to get out, but Sam snagged his hand, stopping him.

“What?” Dean asked.

“Get two queens.” Sam said. Dean looked like his heart had been broken.

“Is it something I did?” He asked.

“No. I just...we’re brothers here, right? I’m still going to curl up in the same bed as you. I just don’t want the weird looks that go with it.” Sam said.

“Like anyone’s going to remember us. I was four and you were six months when we left.” Dean said.

“Missouri might.” Sam said. Dean sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

“Yeah. You’re right. I’ll get us two queens.” Dean went up to get their room for their Lawrence stay. He came back a bit later and parked the car in front of their room. It made him think of all the times when they were younger and they were sharing a room with John. Two seperate queen beds and one of the three would usually end up sleeping on the couch.

Sam immediately sat at the small table and started to look into Missouri as Dean set about making the room safe. He heard the familiar clicks of the keyboard and mouse as Sam navigated the browser. Dean found a phone book in the nightstand between the two beds.

“Found it.” Dean and Sam said at the same time. They looked up at each other. Sam had a list of psychics in the area. Dean had an advertisement for Missouri Moseley: Psychic.

“Well, guess we’re on the right path then.” Dean said. “Do you want to go now or…”

“Let’s go.” Sam said. “The sooner we can get some answers, the better.” Sam got up, ready to go. Dean grabbed him and pulled him to him, kissing him deeply. He could feel the way Sam melted.

“What was that for?” Sam asked when they broke apart.

“I don’t know when I’m going to get to kiss you again.” Dean said. Sam blushed a little but managed to gain himself as they left to go talk to Missouri.

****

Missouri was not what Sam and Dean had expected. She was probably a foot shorter than them, but firey as hell. They watched as she talked to one of her clients and looked at her as he left.

“Poor fool. His wife is cheating on him.” She sighed. “Well, Sam and Dean, come on.” The boys looked at each other before following her to her office. She smiled at the both of them. “Boys, you grew up so handsome!” Dean glanced over at Sam. He didn’t miss the look on Missouri’s face though. But she didn’t say anything. She had seen a lot worse from hunter children over the years. Instead, she closed her eyes for a second to focus.

“So, you know us.” Dean said. Missouri nodded.

“Your daddy brought you with him when he came to visit me.” She said. “I heard…”

“He died?” Sam said. “Werewolf.”

“Tragic.” She said. “At least you boys have each other, right?”

“Yeah.” Dean said, nodding. “But, we came here for some questions.”

“Well, take a seat.” Missouri said, motioning for them to sit down. “What can I help with?” Dean and Sam looked at each other. Dean started to put his feet up on the coffee table in front of him. “Boy, you put your feet on my table and I’m going to beat you with a spoon.”

“I didn’t…”

“You were thinking about it. And your little muscle twitches said otherwise.” She told him. Dean sighed and kept his feet planted on the ground. Sam’s heart was racing. This was his vision. Missouri, the coffee table, everything.

“Sam?” Dean asked, getting Sam’s attention.

“Sam.” Missouri said, taking his hands in hers. He looked up at her. “Tell me.”

“The...the thing that killed my mom, it killed one of my best friends.” Sam told her. “And I’ve heard it’s after me. And I don’t know why.” Missouri could see the tears in his eyes at what he had told her. She glanced over at Dean, who was sitting closer to Sam know and rubbing his back in small, soothing circles.

“Sam, he’s after you and me. Well, not so much me anymore.” Missouri explained to Sam. “We are a rare breed. We’re natural born psychics.”

“What?” Dean asked. “Sammy’s not psychic.”

“I’m afraid he is.” Missouri said. “The question is, what kind of psychic are you Sam? Me? I can read thoughts. It was so hard when I was younger and it made my head feel like it was going to explode. But I learned to control it and now I can listen in if I want, but I don’t have to.”

“I have these dreams and sometimes they come true.” Sam told her. “And one of them happened when I was awake a few nights ago. In fact, I saw you and Dean was about to put his feet up on the table.”

“You can see the future.” Missouri said with a smile.

“So, why does this demon or whatever want natural born psychics?” Dean asked.

“They’re rare.” Missouri said. “And it’s hard to predict them unless you have some insider secrets. A psychic child can be born to non-psychic parents, and vice versa. Say if Sam was to have a child, there would be no guarantee that he or she would be psychic.” She paused for a second. “My son isn’t psychic. Or if he is, he’s keeping it from me.”

“So this demon wants natural born psychics? For what?” Dean asked. Missouri shrugged.

“I don’t know.” She said. “He seems to have given up on us older ones and are going after the younger generation.” She got up and went to a desk. “I have talked to some hunters who have told me there seem to be a surge of twenty-two year olds with psychic abilities. Normally, in the United States, there are one or two a year. According to what some hunters have shared with me, and now including Sam, in 1983, there were at least 8.”

Sam and Dean sat there, thinking about it all. There were 7 other people out there like Sam that didn’t have their knowledge. For all they knew, the demon could’ve gotten them already.

“Sam.” Missouri said, pulling Sam from his thoughts. “It’s going to be hard at first, but with some training and meditation, you’ll realize you’ve been given a gift.” She offered Sam a small smile. “And I can help you. Of course, I don’t see the future, but I can teach you ways to ease the pain. It will get better with time.”

“Thank you Missouri.” Sam said. “We really should be going though.”

“You don’t have to rush off.” She said.

“We haven’t really slept in like forty-eight hours.” Sam said with a bit of a laugh. Missouri nodded.

“Well, don’t be strangers.” She told them. “I expect to see you again.”

“Thanks for everything.” Dean said as the two rushed out. Dean knew she had read some of the stuff in his mind. He just wasn’t sure what she had read. He followed Sam out to the Impala, and neither of them spoke until they were safe back inside the confines of their motel room.

“Why me?” Sam asked as he sat on one of the beds, his head in his hands. Dean shed his jacket and knelt on the floor in front of Sam. “Why did it have to be me?”

“Sweetheart, look at me.” Dean said. Sam looked at Dean and he could see the fear in his little brother’s eyes. “You’re still the boy I fell in love with. You’re still the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, that will change that. Not this, not anything else.”

“But…” Sam started to say. Dean shook his head.

“We’re going to work through this, just like we always do.” Dean told him. “Some little psychic crap isn’t changing anything. I mean, you’re Sam Fucking Winchester after all.” He smiled when he saw the little smirk on Sam’s face.

“I guess you’re right.” Sam laughed a little.

“Of course I’m right. I’m older and wiser.” Sam rolled his eyes a little. Dean moved to sit by Sam. “Come here.” He pulled him to him and kissed him gently. “We will deal with these visions or whatever as they come. But for now, we have each other. And I’ve missed you.” He placed gentle kisses on Sam’s collarbone. Sam let himself relax. Dean was good at that. Getting the tension out of Sam’s muscles.

Dean was great at therapy.

Justice League: Invasion

In the Spring of 2017, I took on the task of rewriting the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, for little reason other than because I could. It was a lot of fun, and really good practice. I’d not considered a follow up until one got requested. Couple that with the upcoming movie and the annual NaNoWriMo and a sequel only seemed sensible!

You can read the special ‘Trailer’ I wrote for Invasion below the cut and you can read the first story here. A warning: it’s quite long.

SEQUEL TIME

Inevitable: perhaps. Obligatory: not really, considering the first story was A) a fan work and B) relatively small scale. Sure, everyone who read it seemed to like it fine, but it was only seen by so many people. It’s not like writing an entire second book is a significant business decision. There’s no business to be had.

But then – who cares about business?

I don’t know how everyone else feels about this, but I feel that BvS should have been Justice League 1, just not by name. That seemed to be the idea, but then WB couldn’t decide whether to adapt The Dark Knight Returns or The Death of Superman. They adapted both and the results were…yea.

Rewriting Dawn of Justice was largely a frustrated, spur-of-the-moment decision and it was the most fun I’ve had in ages. I had fun writing the story I wanted to see play out on the screen and even more fun writing these characters I’d seen in various media over the course of my life. I’m a fan of Marvel Comics, but there’s no doubt that DC characters have a lot of range.

Perhaps Bruce and Diana are the best examples of this, which is why I had them feature so heavily in the previous story. I could have made the story about anyone, really, but these two got paired together for no other reason than the fact that it made them both (and the story) more interesting.

For Diana, who was set to leave Man’s World behind, here she met someone with no powers who fought tirelessly; his commitment to justice made her question her motives for returning to Paradise Island. On Bruce’s end, Diana’s warm and hopeful personality diametrically opposed his own refusal to show any outward emotion. He’s alone in his professional, personal and second life until this total stranger all but forces her way into his space. When you’re with a person for an extended period, one of two things happens: they end up more like you or you end up more like them. Which would be true for Bruce, and which one did he want?

The lack of a true female lead is what hurt BvS the most in my opinion. Amy Adams did a good job as Lois Lane, but she wasn’t given anything memorable to do. And so then, Gal Gadot as Diana becomes the clear choice, but she didn’t get enough time to show what she was about. I know that people tend to think the demigods in general aren’t that interesting because…well, they can do everything. They’re strong, they’re fast, they can fly. It can be hard to do good character work with them but it’s not impossible. They still have feelings, after all. Diana especially, so there is fertile ground still after all these years in syndication.

In lieu of yet another rant on the greatest heroine in fiction being reduced to a McGuffin for a male lead, let us recap the prior events of my own Dawn of Justice rework and set the stage for the ‘Too Big To Fail’ Sequel.

This Dawn of Justice, is an origin of sorts. Bruce meets Clark and Diana while shadowing Lex Luthor and in the process uncovers information on several other meta-humans like them. After the bombing at Superman’s hearing on Capitol Hill, Bruce sets his paranoia aside long enough to investigate the crime and track down the metas with help from Diana. There are four meta-humans on Luthor’s list including Diana, who reveals herself as Princess of The Amazons. These four, along with Batman and Superman, join forces to protect innocents from a new and serious threat.

Fast-forward to one year later: New Year’s Eve. The Batman is responding to a disturbance in Metropolis and comes across a member of the Green Lantern Corps. They investigate together and make a terrifying discovery: Bruce Wayne’s prediction of an enemy from far away has come true. An invasion is underway.

That’s the set-up. From there it’s a bombastic, swashbuckling, globetrotting adventure featuring heroes, villains and locales from every corner of the DC Anthology. Dawn of Justice was tagged as a “Slow Burn” but Invasion will be a mad dash almost all the way through. It’s Heroes v Aliens with some ne’er-do-wells thrown in for flavor.

I’ll be writing and posting the story in its entirety throughout the month of November. This is partly to coincide with the theater release of Justice League but also to give everyone a chance to go back and read through the previous story. I usually don’t do this, but I strongly recommend you read DoJ before Invasion. It’s not necessary, but it will make the forthcoming experience much more enjoyable.

Here is the aforementioned ‘TRAILER.’ A small peek at what’s in store for the League. Thanks for reading!

-----------------------------

“It’s okay to have fun, you know?”

“Not when you’re around, Clark.”

“I’m a Lantern! We protect this whole Sector. What do you protect? A Cave?”

“…” “Oh my God.”

“Look, I’ve never done battle, alright? I just push people and run away.”

“I’m not used to seeing you in daylight.”

“Bruce.”

“Diana.”

“Did you break into my flat?”

“They are here.”

“Yeah, but that’s not my brother.”

“No Lanterns here. No Kryptonian. This World will fall. Just like the others.”

“Take the shot, Floyd! Take the shot, or you die right here!”

“You think just because you wear that suit you’re impervious to giant hammers?”

“Why can’t you guys just leave us ALONE?!”

“I’m…dying, aren’t I?”

“Do not engage alone. We do this together.”

“I’m going as fast as I can!”

“Then go faster! We need you!”

“Bruce, no! There’s nothing you can do!”

“This isn’t one of your video games. There is no ‘better luck next time.’ If we lose, it’s Game Over for Seven Billion People!”

“Amazons! Our armistice is at an end.”

“He said you’d be ready. Now let’s hope you aren’t too late.”

“HaaaaaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaaaaaaaaaa…”

I’ll be posting chapter updates here on Tumblr. Or you can go to my AO3 profile here and bookmark the story. See you in November!

Prince Harry apparently has a secret Instagram account – here's a guide to all the royals you can follow online

New Post has been published on https://harryandmeghan.xyz/prince-harry-apparently-has-a-secret-instagram-account-heres-a-guide-to-all-the-royals-you-can-follow-online/

Prince Harry apparently has a secret Instagram account – here's a guide to all the royals you can follow online

EARLIER this week, Karlie Kloss was SO excited while celebrating her engagement to Joshua Kushner, that she accidentally uncovered Princess Beatrice’s private Instagram handle.

Oops. Now, in the wake of the drama, royal experts are weighing in on whether other members of The Firm have social media – and according to one royal correspondent, they do – even Prince Harry.

Instagram

Princess Beatrice apparently has Instagram

In a screenshot of a FaceTime conversation, Karlie tagged @beayork in her Instagram Story.

And while some fans have questioned whether the account is real (it’s currently private, but unverified), according to royal correspondenr Omid Scobie, it apparently is genuine.

“The princesses have long had private accounts,” Omid told Harper’s Bazaar.

“Harry has one too. No protocol to say it’s not allowed!”

Ian Jones

According to Omid, Harry does have social media

As far as we know, Harry (as well as Kate, Will and now Meghan) are represented by the Kensington Royal social media accounts.

But apparently, Harry did have social media up until 2012, and was using a pseudonym of “Spike Wells”.

According to a report in the Telegraph, Spike Wells “has more than 400 friends, including some of Britain’s richest young men and women”.

The article – published in 2012 – continues: “…after the furore and privacy concerns surrounding the publication of naked pictures of the Prince partying in Las Vegas, his advisers reportedly told him to delete his Facebook page.

“At the same time Mr Wells’ Facebook page also vanished from the internet.”

AP:Associated Press

Harry and Meghan are represented by the Kensington Royal social media accounts

Hmm.

If Prince Harry (or other members of the royal family) do have Instagram, they’re definitely doing a good job of keeping their accounts under wraps.

And while most of the royals don’t have social media, there are a number of members of The Firm who do. Here’s who you can start following now…

Princess Eugenie

28-year-old Eugenie is the Queen’s granddaughter and the daughter of Prince Andrew and former wife, Sarah Ferguson.

Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece

Olympia, 22, is the daughter of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece. She is also Prince Charles’ goddaughter.

Sarah Ferguson

Also known as “Fergie”, Sarah, 58, was married to Prince Andrew (the Duke of York) and is Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice’s mother.

Princess Madeleine of Sweden

36-year-old Madeleine is the daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden.

Arthur Chatto

Princess Margaret’s grandson, 19-year-old Arthur is the son of Lady Sarah Chatto.

Lady Kitty Spencer

Although not an official royal, 27-year-old Kitty is Princess Diana’s niece, the daughter of Earl Spencer.

Lady Amelia Windsor

38th in line to the throne, 22-year-old Amelia is the daughter of George Windsor, the Earl of St Andrews

The Duke of York

58-year-old Prince Andrew, Duke of York, is the second son of the Queen and the father of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

Kensington Royal

Kensington Royal’s social media represents The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Clarence House

Clarence House provides updates regarding Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

The Royal Family

The Royal Family social media accounts tend to cover all updated regarding Buckingham Palace, the Queen and other royals.

Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece

49-year-old Marie-Chantal is the wife of Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece and also Princess Olympia’s mother.

BARE-FACED

This is what Angelina Jolie ‘lookalike’ Sahar Tabar looks like without make-up

MAKING A SPLASH

Woman’s selfie goes viral thanks to rude pattern on her swimming costume

‘KEEP ON TRYING FRED’

Newsreader with terminal cancer writes heartbreaking letters for son

OFF THE MARKLE

Why we probably won’t see Meghan Markle and Harry for the next four weeks

MYSTIC MEG

July 28: Meet someone who has been on your wishlist all year

PITTED TOGETHER

Brad Pitt models himself on whoever he is dating – and here’s the proof

Earlier this week, we told you all about Pandora’s rare sale with ALL charms and bracelets three for two.

We also revealed Topshop’s £55 sell-out pinafore dress is BACK – with a snazzy new retro design.

And we showed you Motel’s £30 slip dress that looks just like this £365 Anthony Thomas Melillo version.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Wedding Celebrity Guest List

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding is fast approaching, with the date set on May 19. And now that Markle has allegedly had her bridal shower, it's time to focus on one of the most important aspects of the royal wedding—the guest list.

Prince Harry and Markle are scheduled to have two wedding receptions following the ceremony at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. While the first ceremony will take place during the day, Prince Charles is said to be hosting a private celebration in the evening, and Mel B has already stoked rumors that the Spice Girls will be performing at the royal wedding.

Unfortunately the Obamas were confirmed to not be on the guest list—along with other political leaders like Donald Trump and Theresa May—but here are just some of the other famous faces rumored to be invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's big day.

Serena Williams Williams and Markle apparently hit it off when they met in 2014 at a celebrity charity football event, according to the Daily Mail. The two have been close friends for several years, and it's been widely speculated that the tennis legend will be getting an invite.

Originally, Williams was slated to play matches in Madrid and Rome at the Madrid and Italian Opens during the time of the royal wedding, but she recently withdrew from the tournaments, following the advice of her coach, Patrick Mouratoglu, Page Six reports.

Markle wrote about becoming friends with Williams for her now-defunct blog The Tig, and said, "She quickly became a confidante I would text when I was traveling, the friend I would rally around for her tennis matches, and the down-to-earth chick I was able to grab lunch with a couple of weeks ago in Toronto."

Originally Williams wasn't sure if her plans to compete would interfere with her attendance at Meghan and Harry's wedding. "We'll see if I can make it," Williams said during a Good Morning America interview, according to ABC producer Carolyn Durand. According to Reuters, when Williams arrived to train with him in France in late April, she wasn't quite ready; as a result, she withdrew from playing in Spain and Italy.

The champion took a 14-month absence for maternity leave after the birth of her daughter, Alexis Olympia, and Mouratoglu noted that she was not yet in the shape she needed to be to play her best. "Serena had to rebuild her body. When she arrived at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, around April 30, we realized that she was not ready yet," Reuters reported. Said her coach, "The time she lost after the delivery, with all the medical issues she had to go through, was missing.”

While we're sure Serena is disappointed that she'll have to wait for the French Open to compete (the tournament begins right after the royal wedding, on the 21st of May), she's likely also elated that she'll get to be at Windsor Castle to celebrate with Meghan and Harry. Given the recent opening in her schedule, expect to see the athlete, newlywed and new mom in the pews.

Alyssia and Catherine Cooper Valmont

The Vogue Fashion Editors and activist arrived in London today .Cooper 's ties to the Royal Family may seem scarce, the Namibian government had asked Angelina on behalf of the Queen to participate in the QCC, or the Queen's Conservation Canopy, aimed at educating and funding the need for global forest conservation. Jolie and her six children visited Namibia recently (where Harry and Meghan will honeymoon in a few weeks) in collaboration with the QCC, and Jolie was granted the title of honorary dame by the Queen for her human rights work in October 2017.

While she could just be in London for work or leisure, odds are Jolie made it on to the Queen's short list for the royal wedding, given her connection to the philanthropic efforts Harry, Meghan and Queen Elizabeth II are so passionate about.

The Bradshaws A source recently confirmed to People that the Bradshaws will be attending the royal wedding ceremony and the evening's Frogmore House reception, due to Bradshaw boys and Harry's close friendship over the years. The source shared that they apparently hit it off when they past in the years at a celebrity philantropic sailing race with his royal highnesses prince William and prince Felipe De Borbone. Conveniently, Bradshaw's English countryside home resides just a thirty minutes drive from Windsor. ( Thōmas, Kyle, Landon, Bruce G.)

Misha Nonoo

According to the Daily Mail, fashion designer Misha Nonoo is Markle's close friend. The designer was credited early on with potentially being the matchmaker that introduced Harry to Meghan, although reports surfaced that Violet von Westenholz—a PR director for Ralph Lauren, who likely will also be at the wedding–was responsible for their set-up.

Nonoo's ex-husband reportedly attended Eton College with Prince Harry and Prince William, so she'll definitely be on the guest list.

The cast of Suits An insider confirmed to Hello! that the "cast and key executives" of the hit legal drama are on the guest list. "The cast has been contacted in regards to invites from Kensington Palace," the source said. Abigail Spencer is one of the co-stars rumored to attend.

Markle's onscreen love interest on the show, Patrick J. Adams, posted the sweetest tribute to his former co-star on Instagram. He wrote, "Playing Meghan’s television partner for the better part of a decade uniquely qualifies me to say this: Your Royal Highness, you are a lucky man and I know your long life together will be joyful, productive and hilarious."

After seven seasons of Suits, it seems likely that Markle is still in touch with her co-stars, and that many of them will be invited to the royal wedding. But, Us Weekly recently reported that they will not be invited to the intimate, 200-person evening reception hosted by Prince Charles.

The staff at Windsor Chapel was reportedly ordered to watch the show to become familiar with Harry and Meghan's wedding guests. "I’ve told the Stewards to get Netflix and watch Suits, so they know who everyone is at the wedding," Hugo Vickers, the Captain of the Lay Stewards at the chapel, told the Daily Mail.

Sir Elton John

It has already been reported that Elton John has cancelled two concerts because the dates clash with the royal wedding. While the singer's official statement calls it a "scheduling conflict," it seems highly likely that the singer canceled his May 18 and 19 world tour dates because he got a better offer.

Elton John was a good friend of Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana, and famously sang his song "Candle in the Wind" at her funeral in 1997. Yesterday, it was confirmed that Sir Elton John will indeed perform at the couple's wedding. And, like the Clooney's, his house conveniently sits a stone's throw from Windsor Castle.

Priyanka Chopra

Quantico star Priyanka Chopra and Markle met at ELLE's Women in Television dinner in 2016. Chopra famously corrected Wendy Williams for describing Markle as "Prince Harry's girlfriend." She fiercely replied, "Meghan Markle, actress. Suits. Her achievements... just saying."

Chopra recently confirmed to Us Weekly that's attending the nuptials. Now, she's considering what dress she'll wear day-of. “I sort of may have an idea, but no, I haven’t picked one out yet," she told the site.

Nacho Figueras

In addition to the other celebrities and VIP's in attendance, the famous Argentinian polo player made the cut for the royal wedding guest list, CBS News reports.

This morning, Figueras told Good Morning America that he could not be happier for his dear friend, Prince Harry. Said the athlete, who has a loving marriage and four children of his own, "He's going to be an amazing husband, he hopefully will be a great father. I can't wait for him to go into this stage of his life... I'm so happy that he has found Meghan."

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and his cousin Gabriel York

She's said to have a terrible relationship with her ex-father-in-law, Prince Philip (she was married to Prince Andrew for 10 years), but as she is Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's mom, it was expected that she would get an invite. Recently, reports surfaced that while she was invited to the ceremony and general reception, she was snubbed from the evening's affairs. Expect to see the Duchess sitting with her children, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York, during the ceremony–but Fergie was reportedly freaking out over not receiving an invitation to the dinner at Frogmore House, hosted by Prince Charles.

Millie Mackintosh

Markle has allegedly been friends with British reality TV star Millie Mackintosh since 2016. As Mackintosh has royal connections—her co-star on Made in Chelsea, Spencer Matthews, is now Pippa Middleton's brother-in-law—it's unsurprising that she's now friends with Markle. It's likely that Mackintosh will be in attendance.

The Spice Girls While on chat show The Real, when asked whether she'd received an invitation to the royal wedding, Mel B said, "Well, it was [the] five Spice Girls. Why am I so honest?" When pressed for details, she revealed, "Yes... It was proper. I’m not saying anymore! I’ve said enough... I need to go. I’m gonna be fired!" However, Mel C responded to the news, saying her fellow bandmate probably wasn't serious. "I think [Mel B] was joking. I think the media ran with it a little bit," she told E! News. Recently, it was reported that contrary to previous announcements, the Spice Girls "were never going to perform" at the royal wedding, an insider told Page Six. However, a few members of the girl group are expected to attend the big event: Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton. According to the insider, Mel B and Mel C aren't on the guest list. 2,640 members of the public Harry and Meghan haven't forgotten about us normals for their big day. They're also inviting 1,200 members of the public "from every corner of the United Kingdom" (who will be nominated by nine regional Lord Lieutenant offices), 200 people from charities they're associated with, 100 students from local schools with close ties to Windsor Castle (The Royal School in Great Park and St. George's School), 610 Windsor residents and members of St. George's Chapel, and 530 members of the Royal Households and Crown Estate.

Daniella Timperley Who is Daniella Timperley? She's a high school student from Ireland lucky enough to score an invite to the royal wedding. CBS News reports that Timperley's grammar school announced on Twitter that she received an invitation as an ode of gratitude from the couple for her extraordinary charity work. Timperley was invited to sit in St. George's Chapel for the ceremony, and attend the luncheon hosted by the Queen at St. George's Hall.

Treviṣ L. Grey

Prince Harry reportedly invited guests from Malawi, with whom he worked on a conservation project, along with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, who co-founded Sentebale with Prince Harry, a charity focused on providing aid to children diagnosed with HIV.

The survivors of the Grenfell fire Last June, a public housing fire at Grenfell Tower in west London killed at least 80 people. In support of those who survived the horrific tragedy, Harry and Meghan have invited the survivors of the fire to be with them in St. George's Chapel as they exchange their vows.
