Kremy notices that Torbek is practically glued to Frost’s hip, but really only bc it’s hindering both Torbek’s and Frost’s work (since I imagine Frost helps Kremy with the financial part of running the carnival, and Torbek obviously helps with climbing things or running some of the attractions). Gideon notices that Torbek is a lot more snappy at the patrons, but as long as there’s no blood shed, he doesn’t really care.

Gricko, however, is obviously DEVASTATED about the situation, and that he’s finding out about it so late. He blames himself for Frost not feeling safe enough to talk to him about something being very clearly wrong with Torbek. Gricko is also beating himself up for not noticing earlier, or voicing his worries more (since I imagine Gricko might’ve actually noticed Frost’s pensiveness about a month in, and notice Torbek’s eyes being very clearly a different color about 2 months in).

Also, this whole situation (and a relating situation that causes the unfortunate death of a patron by Torbek) causes Frost and Torbek to leave the carnival for a while. And yes, Gricko is beating himself up about this too.

Anyone remember the Frostbek series I was working on? Before it kinda stopped? Yeah, I’m still writing it, just very slowly lol. (Actually, at this rate, the next fic might not get posted until ouaw itself picks back up)

Anyway, out of all the fics I have planned for this series (and there’s a lot of ‘em), there’s only one I’m really excited for and know exactly how I’m gonna have it play out. Actually it’s technically 3 separate fics, but they’re connected with this plotline.

CW: Abusive relationship (it’s regarding The Other, so…yeah)

So Frost wakes up in the middle of the night, and all he can see is the glow from Torbek’s canisters, and his eyes. This is not abnormal—I imagine Torbek is more of a night owl like Frost is, but has to be up during the day bc responsibilities and traveling—what IS abnormal, however, is the bright pink hue to his boyfriend’s eyes. “Torbek” sees that Frosty is awake, and immediately crawls closer, smiling.

They have a conversation, that essentially boils down to The Other telling Frost that He’ll be taking over for a while, but to not be alarmed because He has grown rather fond of Frost, partially because of how much Torbek cares for the Tabaxi. The Other does threaten Frost, however, and tells him that if he’d like to keep his head on his shoulders, he wouldn’t tell the others about what’s going on. And that he knows if/when Frost is communicating with someone mentally (idk if The Other actually has mind powers, but shhh). So, Frost keeps quiet about this. For 2 months.

The Other isn’t physically harming Frost, other than a small cut on his cheek from the initial conversation. But the others (Gricko especially) notice how odd both Frost and “Torbek” are acting. Frost seems uncomfortable, if not outright scared, of “Torbek”, and is significantly quieter than he normally is. He won’t even talk to them mentally. And “Torbek” won’t leave Frost’s side. At all. Whereas beforehand, while Torbek was much more comfortable with Frost around, they both also had their own responsibilities on the reformed Carnival, and would spend much of the day apart.

Now, though? Wherever Frost is, “Torbek” is. The bugbear won’t even leave the poor man alone to use the bathroom. And he’s also INCREDIBLY jealous, glaring daggers at whoever decides to talk to Frost for any reason (if looks could kill, Gricko would be dead 10 times over)

Eventually, Gricko realizes that this isn’t Torbek, and must be The Other, and manages to pry Frost away from Him for a short while. He tells Frost there must be some way to bring Torbek back, and that he should try and use his psychic abilities, and see if that works. Frost agrees, and that night, he does so.

This leads to Frost learning just how deep Torbek’s affections go, and Torbek makes a deal with his Other, who agrees and lets Torbek take control again. Happily ever after. For the time being, anyway. ;)

Today I'm ruminating on Lena's oh so important relationship with the Blackwatch boys. Cole and Genji being the closest to her in age, aside from Angela maybe, Lena being the last of the child soldiers that Overwatch recruited for the strike teams. Them watching the cycle repeat one more time with the plucky pilot that's been flying since she was 12, and a soldier since 16, recruited on for one hopeless mission. How she looked up to them so much to guide her in the right direction, how she latched onto them as confidantes and family moreso than other members of the team. Overwatch thrust her into the spotlight, with her name and picture slapped across every picture until Tracer became the persona that everyone looked to, but with Cole and Genji she could just be Lena. She missed being Lena.

so if it's the anticoagulant agent in mosquito saliva that causes bites to itch as an allergic reaction, do vampires that follow similar rules also do that?

I find it interesting how both Kendall and Logan depend on drugs in some way (Kendall’s substance abuse, Logan’s reliance on prescribed medications). Though there are clear differences in their relationships to drug use, they are similar in that both of them want to keep it under wraps due to it being perceived by others as a weakness that makes them incompetent, unstable, unpredictable, and unfit to hold a position of power — and so, possibly because they are so personally familiar with this, weaponizing it is their first instinct to undermine each other. Logan spreads lies to the press that Kendall relapsed and was high during the vote of no-confidence. Kendall tells Sandy and Stewy’s PR team what medications Logan is on to foster doubt in Logan’s leadership among the major shareholders. Obviously, Kendall and Logan have different reasons for using drugs and they take this into account based on how best to leverage public opinion. Logan presents Kendall as being erratic, mentally ill, and untrustworthy while Kendall presents Logan as an incapable old man whose mind and body are failing. I also think that in their private lives, controlling each other’s drug use becomes a way to establish a sense of power over each other, even in small ways. In Safe Room, Kendall insists that he be the one to give Logan his pills throughout the day, saying that the previous person performing that job “missed a dose”. He wants any illusion of control he can have, and this feels like control, no matter how insignificant it really is. Logan limits (or tries to limit) Kendall’s drug use by having Greg keep an eye on him at Tom’s bachelor party and, more indirectly, by sending Naomi off the yacht in This Is Not For Tears, displaying his surveillance and command over Kendall’s life.
