#not to mention how asher betrayed them all

[franklyimissparis]

wait i'm new here why does everyone think something happened in india

hi! welcome! everyone is mostly speculating but there’s a few things we know abt the india trip/specifically the aftermath of it that leads us to know that something went down (regardless of whether or not there were romantic/sexual undertones to it):

long story short, paul left india early with jane asher, his fiancé at the time, and john stayed. john was notably deeply depressed and suicidal at the time of the trip as well. and things were reportedly never the same between them.

there are quotations from geoff emerick about how the lads were fundamentally different after india and, though they wouldn’t speak about it, he got the idea that something had happened that changed things within the group and made those relationships icy.

there’s also a scene in get back where john and paul are speaking about india when john mentions “what were we doing… who was writing all those songs in your room” and then mimes fellatio to a microphone 😭

michael gerber wrote at hey dullblog this which i think summarises fans’ questions/theories about what happened between them nicely:

“Sometimes I think the inciting incident was something external, something private that happened in the world—John and Paul started having sex, or stopped, or talked about it, or stopped talking about it; perhaps something powerful happened inside the friendship at the core of the Beatles. One of them said or did something, and the other guy got mad, or felt betrayed, or something.”

honestly i can’t do all the elements at play justice as well as other people can but i would HIGHLY recommend listening to another kind of mind’s pizza and fairytales series which focuses on john and paul’s relationship in the 70s and what led up to all of this, as well as their sexualities and john’s mental health issues. episode 4 discusses the india trip and theorises what went down in a very thoughtful and comprehensive way :))

(and this is the article that quotation comes from, it’s just one opinion tbh but it’s an interesting take)

Compiled Character List

I had to organize all the main important characters from my many stories so I can keep them straight and remember which characters are in each story LOL 😂 It's getting too crowded in my head! This list mostly includes the characters I wrote with actual names, or other significant figures. This will help me remember details like hair and eye color, personality, role in the plot, etc. Mostly for my own personal reference.

I counted them all, and I literally have 79 individual characters on this list, and that's NOT including all the rest involved in my other stories. How did I create so many?!? No wonder I needed to create a character list like this one... this will definitely help me keep them all straight!

This response has been a long time coming, but this post is the straw that broke the camel's back.

Bird, you are a coward and you know it. You know why your work on Swifthawk’s Chance has taken a nosedive and why you resent it now. You know the real reason you are leaving Tumblr and running to other platforms.

To Bird’s audience: Do you know why Bird hates Swifthawk’s Chance? It’s because they can’t take accountability for their actions. SC reminds them of how they have only continued to double down on the lies. Comfortably continuing to bullshit you all for their own gain.

They resent SC because of its connection to the person they hurt and abandoned, Toffee (I won’t be revealing their real name for safety reasons). They continue to benefit from the work Toffee did, which included brainstorming ideas, writing scripts, making storyboards, designing characters, refining sketches, some lineart, and coloring. The scene where Goldenflower talks to Swifthawk before he goes to Tigerclan? You can thank Toffee for that.

How did Bird repay this work? They didn’t credit Toffee. Instead, Bird betrayed them, hurt them, sided with their stalkers, and made a callout post to get them harassed, all for things that they themselves also did. Not to mention what their partner, Morro, aka Talkingtalltales, did to them. Morro spread lies and fakeclaimed Toffee’s mental illnesses and trauma, even to Toffee’s mother. Morro taunted them for months, including drawing their OC Vulture holding a severed limb of Mutt, who was Toffee’s character they created with Bird for SC, and using it as a profile picture.

If you want more information or context, the posts are linked below. I urge you to get all the information Bird has been hiding from you and come to your own conclusion. Read BOTH of them thoroughly.

Original Post Updated Post

Note, this is NOT an invitation to harass Bird. If you read this and your takeaway is "we need to cancel Bird and harass them," then you're no better than them. They have been given so many chances to show they actually regret what they did by contacting Toffee’s friends or Toffee themselves. But they haven’t. Toffee deserves better.

There is hopes in Bird coming clean with genuine honesty without blaming Toffee and other people for their own actions. But with how long it has been and how they’ve doubled down, we don’t expect much at this point. Bird is 31 years old, they aren't a young adult learning right from wrong. They've had the time to change.

To Bird: Of course you’re going to run away like a guilty teenager instead of addressing the hurt you’ve caused like an adult. Of course you’re going to treat your audience like children who will fall for your lies and two-facedness. You were given the chance to fix your mistakes but instead you hid from what you did to Toffee, your own friend. SC had so much potential, and could have been amazing, but instead you sacrificed that to appeal to toxic friends. Are you running now because you feel shame? Do you feel guilty for the harm you brought to someone you called your friend? You still have the chance to fix things, but it's up to you to do that. YOU have always had the power and choice in this situation.

Something I don’t think you realize is the extent of the creative impact you had on Toffee. You just abandoned your and Toffee’s once shared characters such as Asher, who blatantly started off as a dog version of Swifthawk. You would explore complex topics in this story, just to ultimately wash your hands of it and appease Morro. The juxtaposition of Toffee keeping your ideas and OCs in their story, treating them with respect, while you spit on Toffee’s ideas and OCs. Drawing mutt’s limb in a page to be petty, despite KNOWING full well how much Mutt, SC, and your friendship meant to them. They struggled so much being forced to write Asher for you, to continue this story without their co-author, since Asher and your other ideas were too important to just remove. Do you still think about them and your shared story? Or was Toffee that easy to forget?

Not to mention the art imbalance. Toffee would draw so much for you. Yet when you put it all together, all you really drew for them was unpolished designs and porn. This is despite you begging Toffee to talk about their story over your own projects, admitting to dreaming about it, begging to rp, and making things for it unprompted. You were invested and cared about it but can just abandon all of that if it means saving face.

But sure, have fun projecting your resentment and puritan guilt onto the wrong things. Just ignore the creative impact you had on Toffee and undermine why your involvement in their story meant a lot to them. All while you deny their existence, THEIR involvement and the help they were happy to give without much in return simply because they cared.

Where do you think being manipulative and lying is going to get you in life? You said it yourself that messing up is a part of friendships, that real friends are the ones that call you out on things. It says a lot about you and your circles that they’re the opposite of this. You’ve fallen into people-pleasing, self-loathing, overworking yourself, and rushing SC just to have something to post, but your “friends” are silent.

That was what Toffee was trying to do with the post. Hold you accountable because they wanted to see you improve. Defending themselves because YOU were willing to slander them and condemn them to suicide to keep your reputation and appease your aggressive partner. The fact they still want to keep their door open to you baffles me.

Tell me, do you feel any guilt at all? Do you lay awake at night regretting causing Toffee harm? Did you ever care about Toffee at all? You would’ve hated being put in the position you have put Toffee in. But because it’s not you, who cares, right? Who cares about the pain you caused, the MANY people you’ve lied to, and your toxic habits that go unchallenged. You clearly don’t care about Toffee, though. Even though they still want to see the good in you, you haven’t shown anything worthy of that hope in you.”

I won't pretend that Toffee didn't do anything wrong in this situation. Their initial response, spamming messages and emails, only made things worse and stressed you out. However, this hardly compares to the torment they received in turn.

As their friend, it’s painful seeing how much they were forced to change, to adapt to the torture you put them through. They have suffered for well over a year now, enduring worsening physical AND mental health. Losing their trust in people and losing hope for the future due to how your betrayal proved that life can’t go well for them. How could they believe otherwise when you were supposed to be the one person that didn’t betray them, when you promised not to, but you did anyway. I can only hope that they can find a way out of the pit you pushed them into. And that you can have the basic human decency of acknowledging what you’ve done.

EDIT: btw petty insults and completely missing the point of why what Bird has done is cruel isn’t doing what you’re think it’s going to do. Instead of enabling Bird, handle it like an adult, read the posts and hold Bird accountable. Acting like a teenager will do nothing but reflect badly on Bird further and just proves the point that people like you only enable their behavior and don’t challenge it. I will not be saying anything else about this unless Bird themselves bothers to reflect and recognize why in a way that matters, and if they don’t or just respond to it with more deflection, that’s on them. But again, I’m not expecting much, and I don’t need to clarify why.

Leaving Tumblr

I'm already very inactive on here, but from now on, I'll only be uploading pages to Patreon. Pages that would be uploaded to this blog will be made PUBLIC on Patreon that given day, so you DO NOT NEED TO PAY.

That being said, I truly hate Swifthawk's Chance, so I'm not even sure if I'll be able to finish it. I'm trying to, but it's very difficult to force myself to make pages for a project I feel nothing but resentment for. I want to step away from it for a bit, but if I do, I don't know if I'll ever pick it back up again.

That said, I have a separate comic that will go public on Patreon and ComicFury on Tuesday. It's a Pokémon comic and not a cat comic, but it's what I'm enjoying working on right now.

For anybody who wants to get in contact with me, I suggest Patreon or email (kmcstudio93@gmail.com), as I won't be back on Tumblr.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I wish everyone the best. Thank you all so much for following my stupid comics, whether you're a new reader or have been here since the beginning. This blog will remain as an archive. Thanks again, everybody. <3

i love headcanons so much. so here are some more!! (angst edition:( )

after the inversion, angel struggles with sleeping. they gain insomnia because all they can see is david dead. ever time they fall asleep, they wake up thinking david won’t be there.

tank lost their shit when they found out what was going on. sweetheart had called them and they were with angel when the call came through. that was the first time angel had seen tank cry. they broke down in tears.

milo struggles with very bad self-image issues due to the pack constantly makes fun of his size and how small he is compared to sweetheart.

david has really really bad trust issues due to a past relationship. they are the alpha of another pack and david refuses to do business with them because of what they did. how they betrayed him.

freelancer struggles with getting out of bed in the mornings. the days that caelum or gavin aren’t around, they miss their classes because of it. they won’t get out unless someone urges them to.

gavin feels all of the D.A.M.N groups knots and he desperately wants to fix it but he doesn’t know how. he’s only an incubus.

sweetheart is blind in one eye due to the shade that attacked them when they teamed up with milo. their vision is so blurry (in the eye that can see) that they have super thick glasses. milo blames himself for not making it earlier.

in a fit of rage, when sam was first turned, he shaved his head and completely changed how he looked. if he was gonna have a “second chance” he was gonna make alexis despise him for giving him that option.

babe always tries to seem perfect around david. they want to be accepted by him, he’s their boyfriends alpha. they want him to like him. they tone down their personality so much it worries ash.

ash constantly dismisses pack problems to babe. it makes them feel insignificant. like the biggest part of ash’s life is something they aren’t involved it. it hurts them. (based off a fanfic i read, i cant remember the author:( )

huxley hates anything that isn’t land. flying? he hates it. boating? definitely not his favorite thing. skydiving? never ask him. he hates feeling out of his element (literally)

sometimes damien burns things when he feels very strongly and it upsets him. he once burnt a letter huxley wrote because it made him so happy.

freelancer still struggles with using the water element of their powers. it makes them feel like they will become kody. like they’ll hurt someone the way kody hurt them.

vincent hates that he turned lovely. not because he didn’t want them to live, it’s that they got gifted this wonderful power just for it to be ripped away from them. the power that was the only reminder that they are what got rid of adam. their life hasn’t stopped drastically changing since they met him and he hates himself for it.

tank cant stand to look in the mirror. it makes them nauseous. all they see is their friend or quinn staring back at them in the mirror. never who they truly are.

sweetheart spends nights up late (like 5 am go to bed, wake up at 7 am) so they can figure out closeknit and the quinn case, they don’t want to disappoint milo or david.

asher has permanent trembles because of the shades injury. he hates it. it took him 2 months to learn how to write again.

lasko still doesn’t talk about his job. he’ll mention small things but never a lot. not even to freelancer or damien. he doesn’t want them hurt. not after what happened.

and that’s it, i’m not sorry for the pain. please enjoy

Okay okay! you can hold off the execution. I’m hoping i didn’t hype this up too much tbh

Traitor angel part 3 finale! you can find part one and part two here

tw: emotional distress, mentions of bad parents, mentions of taught fear, non consensual telepathy (later consented)

They felt exhausted, tired, empty, whatever synonym can be stirred up for absolutely shattered. It feels like their eyes can’t even close too sore from sobbing, despite being near silent with their cries they always find a new glass of water outside the door. Their favorite glass, the one they’d complain if David used.

They didn’t listen into conversations, most of the time they stayed in bed covering their head with the pillow wishing they could wake up from this nightmare, wishing that they hadn’t of hurt him.

They don’t hear the new voice enter the house, or Tanker inviting them. They don’t hear David immediately asking “What are you doing? Who is this? Would you just leave it Tanker?”

“That’s one too many questions big guy. This is Milo’s mate coworker…one day I’ll learn peoples names I promise. But anyways they are a telepath and you have a mate who’s lied and you want the certified explanation.” He pauses realizing they are suggesting listening into his mates thoughts without their knowledge, without their permission. Suddenly the weight of the choice makes him feel even heavier than he has with the sleepless nights and the long moments of staring at the shut door of the guest bedroom. He walks past the both of them making his way to the kitchen to get a drink of water hoping to wash all this away. “I’m surprised it’s you.”

”You shouldn’t be,” they argue immediately. “Asher is great but he thinks you need distance that you need time.” He fights the urge to tell them to get off the counter as they sit up on it, “Milo thinks you need a plane ticket for one. ‘Manda wants to side with them, desperately wants an explanation.”

He leans back across from them, “And you?”

“I know what it looks like when someone doesn’t love you. I also know that people make mistakes, but that they wouldn’t hurt you not once they fell for you. So from the person with the worst romantic history of the pack, there’s a reason. And knowing you you won’t ever let them slip through your fingers until you are absolutely sure.”

“It’s creepy, how much you pay attention to everyone.”

”Call it a trauma response, I’m still right.”

”Okay, we can do it.”

“Hey Professor X we have the green light!”

He’s terrified as he’s walked through what will happen, the line directly drawn into his mates mind letting him hear. Tankers pushed a chair beside him not quite touching but within arms distance, it’s a comforting distance even if he had to shove their feet off his table. He gives a nod when the telepath asks for final confirmation that they have his permission and feels it suddenly all at once, crushing guilt, regret, self-hatred, and fear.

Just tell him the truth he’ll believe you, right believe “Oh hey by the way my parents raised me to hate and fear exactly what you are but you were just so pretty when I met you” that’s a great idea really fantastic. Just spare him the pain of having to throw you out, book a plane ticket to somewhere far away and leave a note telling him you’ll be safe. Right cause right now you absolutely should just take more control out of his hands. I did everything right…I thought I did everything right. I burned every piece of information I gathered before I gave it to them…but I still betrayed his trust.

As had been explained to him David begins receiving images in their mind as well, their first date. Them still in that outfit that had him near drooling the whole day tossing official documents into a fire, hands shaking. Pausing on the page of him clipped together information on him information that never found it’s way to ETS. Resignations signed, jobs searched for in Dahlia.

He doesn’t deserve this. He never deserved this. You did this. You hurt him.

David can’t hear it, the way their sobs are getting louder despite their best efforts.

You hurt him. How could you? All he ever did was love you and you hurt him, you hurt his family. You-

He breaks out of their mind when Tanker shakes him pointing over to the door, “They’re crying. I don’t want to push you to a decision, but it’d be a good time to hold them if you-.”

They don’t get to finish their sentence when David is out of his chair fast enough to nearly send it to the ground if Tanker hadn’t of grabbed it quickly making his way to the door.

They startle when the door slams open David in too much of a rush to get to them to open the door gently “David-“ they start trying to hide away the tears.

He says the first words that come to mind, ”I love you.” Pulling them nearly off the bed all together with a hug cradling their head into him. “I’m sorry I love you. I don’t want you gone, I want you here, please stay.”

“But after what I did.” They pull back to look at him, only for him to cup their face so gently in his hands.

“You were scared, you learned, you grew, you protected my family…Tanker brought a telepath.”

”You heard-“

”I’m sorry I just I wanted the truth. I questioned if I could trust you anymore.”

”Don’t apologize. Do you think you can trust me now?”

”Of course I do. But I’m not letting you stay in this guest room a moment longer.” He doesn’t let their feet touch the ground carrying them to their room finding their house empty besides from them already. “You said your parents didn’t have the same beliefs as you and that’s why you didn’t talk to them…is it about the empowered world?”

”My parents have worked for them long before I was born, I grew up going to company parties. Even got my first job as a secretary, I believed them with all the horror stories they told me. Nepotism got me a job in the field too, just simple stuff at first. Watching from a distance and then on my second ever job you approached me, honestly I was terrified at first I thought you were gonna drag me out back to rip me to shreds. So I played dumb and then you started blushing and stumbling over your words and god I had never met someone more adorable. And before you say “I’m not adorable” you are. Enough to make me question those years of being taught you were the monster in the night. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, to be honest I don’t think I ever would have told you. I wanted to throw the whole life I had away to have a better one with you, and that’s not fair to you. I should have told you, I’m just scared of losing you.”

”You aren’t going to lose me angel, it’ll take more then a rough past to do that. But if you happened to drop your parents address somewhere I know a pack of wolves who have a grudge.”

Their laughter brightens the room back up, “I don’t want them in danger but I promise if the opportunity comes up to exact a bit of revenge I’ll offer it up happily.”

”I love you angel.”

”I love you too Davey. I always have, I always will.”

[lovelygirlinbleu]

I really hated the writers for how they wrote Liv this season and especially after episode 8.

First of all how is it possible that we didn't see her talk about her relapse. How and why did she start drinking? We saw the scene in 2x16 but did she really continue when Spencer was with her the whole time? Or did she start after leaving Vegas? I know we got that scene with nurse joy but she still didn't really talk about it, and nurse joy literally called her out for what she said. We didn't even go into depth. Someone else tells her why she eventually started drinking and that's it? How does she feel about it? What the actual? And how did no one ever mention that she got PTSD too? How did no one talk about how her parents never got her some help to deal with what she experienced? The girl showed some serious signs at the end of season 2 and no one cared. Somehow it's not even addressed. Why did they show those scenes if she does not even talk about it? They basically ignored that in season 3 and it was only all about Spencer's trauma.

And I still can't believe how everyone was angry and mad at her instead of asking her why and what triggered her into relapsing. Sorry but the writers seem to be more into how this storyline could cause some drama, which isn't wrong it's still a show, instead of properly addressing what led to it.

Next thing is the Asher break up. It's more of my personal view (which is why it could be very wrong because I could've misunderstood things) but anyways. So I'm not saying anything about their relationship anymore because I already did that and it's a waste of time. But what bothered me a lot is how he got to yell at her for the most stupid reason. Her caring about a friend who's going through it and then making it about himself and not needing her help anymore. Apparently she's too caring, helpful and that's what made him mad? And he gets away with it? He gets away with lots of stuff but this was just dumb. Why was she not allowed to say something about the stupidity? Why is she supposed to feel bad for her personality just because he doesn't need her no more? I know that was part of her journey but she should've stood up for herself for once. And I just know it will never be discussed again. (It was more of an excuse for his emotional cheating) That's why I'll continue.

The Layla drama. The thing that I always say is that Liv should have apologized for keeping this from her. And that's it. It's not her fault that Spencer loves her, that he told her and that he kissed her. It's especially not her fault that he slept with Layla right after and that he didn't call off things when she actually gave him the chance to. She didn't even know up until she saw them together. Now tell me what is she supposed to do? Her two best friends, where one of them got already hurt by her in the past and the other one she thought loved her wanted to be with her, get back together. What the heck is this woman supposed to do about it? Just betray her two best friends and risk their friendship? And it's Spencer who actually put her into the position where she basically had no choice but keep quiet. She didn't choose to be put into that position c'mon. And I mean we know Olivia. She already hurt Layla in the past, she was not stable in that moment too and she is crazy scarred to be alone and to hurt other people. So if she told Layla what would've happened? Layla would be mad, Spencer probably too but not for so long and she would've also lost Asher which means she would've been alone. It would've made things weird. I mean it wouldn't have been like that for to long but for someone who wasn't stable at that moment it's the scariest thing to happen.

So Idk why she was put into so much pressure and WAS NOT EVEN ALLOWED to express herself about it too?

And the most important thing is kinda the same but it's Olivia's side in the whole triangle and how it's constantly being ignored. She even belittled what happened in Vegas to "a stupid Vegas kiss". No because what is wrong with the writers? How is it that we deal with the betrayal Layla went through, how Spencer was hurt by Liv leaving and using Layla, but not how Liv was also hurt in the whole scenario? How is her part in that not as important as theirs? I'm tired of everyone else getting the "victim" card and Olivia constantly made out to be the traitor.

I mean imagine getting a love confession and a kiss by your best friend, leaving because you're scared and feeling guilty and then coming back seeing the person who told you he loved you, kiss your best friend and then get back with her as if nothing happend. Oh my god? Yes she was in a relationship with Asher but she clearly didn't love him. She loved Spencer and he knew but he gets back with his ex, who's also her best friend. I would be so danm hurt and feel like it meant nothing. Belittling it to a stupid "Vegas kiss". Then of course I'm not going to open my mouth. I would feel stupid, I would be afraid to risk my friendships. And somehow we only see Layla's side, Spencer's side, but Olivia is the bad one right? How was she not allowed to say that to Layla later on? I get that in the confrontation scene she was in her typical addiction/denial attitude but why not later on?

I still hate the whole confrontation scene and cringe everytime I think about it because the whole point was missed, some things that were said were right but some other were uncalled for. So I hate this scene a lot.

I think the writers really did her dirty with that. Somehow it was her season but I'm literally unsatisfied and as clueless as before. We can theorize and all but when is she allowed to express her thoughts?

I feel like they still have a chance to properly tell her addiction story in season 4 if she gets to talk with nurse joy and WE SEE that (because the writers have a huge problem with wanting us to assume things and not show it) or if she continues going to therapy. I mean I really want to know her story and what exactly led to her relapse. To me they belittled that too.

With Layla I also think there's kind of a chance to talk about Vegas and how she felt and maybe her apologizing for not telling her but also demanding for Layla to understand her. They still didn't have a real conversation about the whole situation and their friendship and with the whole Carrie situation it could finally happen. I hope the writers won't disappoint.

I also hope for more talks with Spencer and maybe them talking about Vegas and what happened after that. Why he made the decisions and maybe her expressing how she felt but with a good feeling after that. They teased their talk in 3x01 but we also know it might've been more of a "it was a mistake" talk.

Another thing is her dancing and art. Every single character gets to explore their interests and passions except her. I was kinda mad at first about how they only teased the dancing class with the kids, and how they only showed snippets of her art skills but I get that she might've first deal with her addiction. Yet I'm a little disappointed about how we still didn't get anything in 3B.

I really hope they show the dancing class and her being a teacher. I would really love to see her working with kids and how that dynamic would look like. And I want to see her working on art projects. Maybe as coping or to express what's going on in her mind or to make a statement. There are so many storylines one can create with art. If they don't use that they are wasting a lot of time.

I really want to see who Olivia is outside of her relationships, family, friends and addiction. Of course the addiction will always be a part of her but she's not just an addict. She's much more than that. For 3 season they still haven't managed to tell us who she really is and i'm getting tired.

I also really don't want to see Olivia helping Asher no more. Especially not through his heart condition. He made it clear that he doesn't need her anymore. Or her being the mediator in the Billy, Jordan, Spencer drama. It's the last thing we need. She should only focus on her own fr.

I chose to ignore the social justice thing and the drama with her mom because I have no real opinion on that. It was good to discuss it but it was also stretched out a little bit.

I hope they just give her a good storyline next season, lots of Spelivia without drama and more about her friendship with Simone, and finally more about herself. 💛💛

bro this show fucked me up okay it fucked me up BAD

like no one got away with murder— the actual murderers got killed off: bonnie, frank, who killed multiple people in cold blood (though i loved them to pieces too, honestly. even though they fucked up big, they were still very likable and i was rooting for them until the end.) asher, who arguably didnt have control over his actions, (again, i was ROOTING for him. he might have turned at the last second, but most of the time he was the purest character in the cast. and honestly, due to the circumstances, ergo him still being mad at annalise for kicking him out of the clinic when the k5 friend group was the only thing he had left, and him being left alone with his family who guilt tripped him into it. and hell, what asher did was the sanest decision so far, he wasn't actively trying to incriminate people, unlike michaela who made up stories on the stand, he was just trying to make them come clean. and the beauty of htagwm is that they make you hate him for it.) and wes, who did it one time out of self-defense. and he probably never meant to kill sam, he was probably just aiming to knock him out. (thats why the first murder would always be my favorite, it escalated quickly but at the perfect pace, it was an unfortunate set of circumstances that aggravated the whole situation rather quickly— but nobody wanted any of that to happen. but once it did, it pushed them to do even more horrible things. it was accidental, yes, but the fear and the things that they did after, ergo, chopping up sam's body into the disposal, really sealed the deal. htagwm never quite recaptured the magic of laurel, wes, and connor coming together to form a study group, meeting michaela who just wanted to turn in the trophy at the keating house, and suddenly they were wrestling an inebriated and angry sam who would have killed rebecca himself if the k5(-1) didn't stop him. but sam ended up dead at wes' hands instead, which forced the k5 to cover up the murder scene. and michaela nearly pissing her pants at the bonfire, connor finally losing it at oliver's doorstep— it was honestly the best murder. it was the sudden switch from normal college kids to co-conspirators to a murder, and the pace was just perfect too. i can NOT stress the pace perfectly enough.)

murderers aside, you can't really say it was a happy ending for the rest of the cast too. no one was truly innocent, they all tried to get away with murder— and it bit right back in their asses. the ending of annalise's trial? it was cruel, how they pit the remains of the k5 vs annalise&the adults. the whole web of murders really started with them, it was various murders committed by different members of the main gang that they covered up together. lila? frank. sam? k5(- asher), annalise helped cover it up. rebecca? bonnie. annalise and frank covered it up. sinclair&hapstalls? asher for sinclair, hapstall suicide, annalise & gang (reluctant k5, they only stayed quiet so the sam murder wouldnt get out) helped cover it up, it finally included asher into the murder gang. d.a. miller? nate or bonnie (it wasnt really clarified), but the gang (the k5 was much more willing this time) + annalise helped cover it up. in a strange way, the trauma and guilt bonded the main cast together. they showed moments of wholesomeness and sometimes, youd think that they were a stable "support system", but the finale proved that it was anything but. manipulation and fear from/for each other kept them together. and the way they turned on each other on the end to save themselves proved that.

michaela lied on the stand, she fabricated a story about wes and annalise sleeping together (that made me genuinely irritated at her for a hot second, but then again they've perjured worse), annalise's inner dialogue about michaela being ungrateful then serving her shit right back. annalise was able to dig up dirt about michaela in her cross, dirt from the time they spent together. its the same reason why michaela was such a valuable witness against annalise— because of the time they spent with each other, a relationship that could have been considered intimate was torn apart on that courtroom.

connor lied too, but annalise got into his head easier and he felt remorse soon after. laurel tried to lie, only to fess up at the last second and actually defend annalise.

i kept waiting for the k5 and annalise to reconcile at the very end. there was a chance when michaela and connor admitted to testifying against annalise, because they were afraid of annalise getting a life sentence. i was waiting for the moment where annalise had a plan all along, she would get michaela and connor out of those deals— but the extent of her genius got her out of a death sentence. which was karma, in a way. she sold out connor and michaela to save herself the way they did to her.

the ending of htagwm was tragic. annalise walked free, sure. but the heart of htagwm was broken. gabriel, who tried to be righteous and all that, ended up taking frank's obviously dirty money. and it was still unclear if he really saw his father for who he really was (yes, dumbass, he did kill off lila for fucks sake) because like hell he was going to believe frank, and the testimonies on the annalise hearing was distorted too. frank died doing what he always did— committing hideous crimes in annalise's name (although he did it on his own accord, not because annalise told him to.) only that this time, karma was swift as it shot frank right back. and bonnie died doing what she always did— trying to be there for her so-called family. though the only comfort that can be gained was that the bonnie-frank-annalise trio stayed together even in death. though there is also a quiet tragedy in the way that bonnie never got to relay the message frank wanted to give (annalise: why did frank do this?? why?? / frank, moments earlier: i did it for annalise, alright? tell her that i did it for her.)

the friendship of the k5 was torn apart even before the show ended— wes died, asher turned on them, laurel hid away to save herself, connor went to jail, michaela tried to hold on to the remains: she tried to chase connor and oliver, but oliver pushed her away (he never really forgave her for the simon incident). she tried to call laurel, but laurel already switched numbers. the way that michaela burst into tears even after yelling at both connor and laurel only hours earlier— as her tough girl facade, her fear overtaking her— but no one really stayed around to support her in the end. in the end, she was really the one who relied on the k5 friendship despite acting otherwise.

and the trauma stayed with them, even long after. michaela didn't even bother to attend annalise's funeral— implying that she had fallen out with everyone, despite being the one who tried to reach out at the final courtroom scene. laurel had to look at the spitting image of her ex-boyfriend, who she publicly defaced time and time again, and who had his name permanently stained, who died in a fire orchestrated by her family— she had to see that every time she looked at her son. and connor and oliver, who was with christopher even before he was born, christopher spent his first christmas with them, they were both signed as guardians in case something happened to laurel, christopher didn't even recognize them because there was distance between laurel and coliver. and it was for the better too, since their relationship didn't have anything solid other than the murders— they all needed to stay apart to heal.

and christopher said that annalise was his mentor, after a beat by beat copy of the pilot episode. (please, don't let christopher be the new annalise, wes would actually have a stroke in the afterlife. laurel as the new ophelia is interesting imagery though.) it also meant that only laurel kept in touch with annalise after her trial— laurel, the only one who went against her immunity deal and testified for annalise. in the end, the final court scene put a wedge in annalise's relationship with everyone else in the k5.

the ending only showed the cracks that was there from the beginning— none of them had a solid relationship that wasn't built out of desperation and guilt. and for the ones who did, they were the only ones who stayed together (connor and oliver were initially brought together by connor looking for stability post-sam, and oliver looking for stability post-wes, but it's implied that the love that they had in htagwm had grown into something more different and real, real enough to stay even in their old age, long after the trauma has passed), (tegan and annalise were implied endgame, and without all the murder web and conspiracy, annalise could have learned to open herself up just like how she did with robert? ronald? so irrelevant i cant remember. though it was implied that tegan had passed away first.), (annalise was christopher's mentor, meaning that laurel allowed her back in their lives. and the beach and salsa scenes with tegan/annalise, as well as christophers thick spanish accent, implied that they live in mexico. and christopher didn't really have a motive to teach in middleton, except, in the honor of his mentor and mother, perhaps.)

note: i firmly believe that healthy relationships can come out of the htagwm cast despite unhealthy beginnings. even if connor only initially fucked oliver to get intel, oliver did teach connor how to love, much like he said (im sorry but the "you taught me how to love" by connor fucking broke me ok). connor was a fuckboy until he slowly fell in love with oliver, but refused to admit it to himself. even before the sam incident, he was already going back to oliver even after oliver broke up with him. oliver eventually did gain a footing in their relationship, even if it was all in connor's hold at first. and even though trauma did influence their relationship, they did genuinely love each other. especially at the wedding. it might have been born out of desperation, but their sentiments were real. however, they did need some time away from the trauma to properly build a healthy relationship— which was why connor asked for a divorce at the end. though it was left unclear if oliver signed it or not, what was clear is that their love survived the 5 years of connor in prison, as well as the decades that came after.

i was going to say how annalise might have reached out to laurel bc christopher was the only remains of wes that she had left— but the way that she burned down wes' confession, his words in a way, to save herself, could prove that she finally moved on from wes' death.

anyway. my point still stands about building healthy relationships from unhealthy beginnings. annalise could have been so desperate to save christopher because it reminded her of her baby or wes, either/or, which could be traced back to her guilt/attachment issues to them— but she did build a genuine relationship with christopher, long before the s6 finale. she was the only one who could make him laugh, after all. and she chose to continue that relationship until he grew up, until he chose to be a lawyer like her, until he came to middleton in her honor, and even titled his class exactly like hers. i'd say that's a pretty solid relationship.

okay. im done. i think i got it out of my system. the finale just fucked me up so bad. i binged the entire show for a month or two and its hitting me bad.

though what saddens me is that connor is the one who truly helped annalise with her class action case, which gave her a boost to her purpose and name, only for them to never truly reconnect. i guess connor did take that help back when he smeared her name on the stand.

i say this every time a show ends. just because you don’t like a show’s ending doesn’t mean the writing is bad. pete nowalk literally said that his whole goal of the finale was to suggest that you can’t get away with murder. and at the end of the day, no one did. and the full circle ending was so good. i thought it was really well done but what do i know. lol

RATING! ALL! THE CHAR CLONES!

i love char and gundam loves him too so because i am BORED i'm gonna rate all characters that the wiki tells me qualifies as a char clone!

many of these men will be rated on aesthetics and their wiki blurb alone since i have not watched all gundams

i tried to include pics but it SAID i can only use ten. WHAT? how am i supposed to rate how sexy they are?

Char Aznable

the man. the myth. the legend. i love him so much. hes super fucking hot bc of how bad he is. like an absolute madlad he goes around destroying the zabis and giving amuro hell. hes so good that despite being on team evil he regularly tops popularity polls and is widely regarded as being super attractive. im asexual but i agree. char is supreme. he and his red mobile suits cannot be topped. 20/10

Quattro Bajeena

now, char might be evil, but this guy is totally a stand up dude who is definitely not char. and the hyaku shiki? top tier. also very sexy. maybe char should take a lesson or two from this lovely man. 18/10 could not possibly be char himself

Glemy Toto

i have not watched ZZ. this dude upholds the tradition of stupid ass names in gundam. he just kinda look like hes a good person, though, which would be nice, but i prefer the evil men here. 6/10 love the idiotic name

Afranche Char

apparently a literal char clone. don't give a fuck. 1/10

Carozzo Ronah/Iron Mask

this guy really takes the mask thing seriously. i have also not watched F91. i love the just robot lookin mask and the purple color scheme. 8/10

Anavel Gato

this guy is kind of a chump. i get the feeling i'm supposed to find gato very cool, but all i could see was a total loser pushover as long as it was in the name of zeon. although to be fair, he was basically one of the most enjoyable characters in the mess that is stardust memory. 7/10 too much of a zeon apologist

Chronicle Asher

i called gato a chump but this guy looks like a tool. hes got the mask! i know nothing about victory gundam but this guy looks like, okay. 5/10

Schwarz Bruder

im ignoring the other guy listed with him on the wiki bc Herr Bruder is in fact, awesome. he isn't on team evil like some others, but he doesn't need to be. hes a JESTER NINJA. what's not to love? somehow, despite me thinking i knew the twist that was coming, he was still full of surprises. you cannot possibly predict the actual twist here. he really teaches domon how to get shit done. 15/10 absolutely sublime take on the trope

Zechs Marquise

not only is he voiced by takehito koyasu, but he chars so hard he chars three times as fast! we LOVE his dedication to being a char clone. i will never forget how treize challenged him to a fair fight and he was just like nah lmao. you go you stinky man! 10/10 for char-ing hard

Lancerow Dawell and Jamil Neate

i am fascinated by after war X and i'll watch it one day. it seems like the wiki is confused about these two and is going with very surface level details for these two being char clones. however i'll rate them both higher bc i think mr. neate's sideburns and glasses are just top tier character design. 9/10

Harry Ord

10/10

Rau le Creuset

i think i saw him in the like three episodes of SEED i watched. he definitely looks the part. seems kinda lame though. 6/10

Athrun Zala

this kid is hilarious, and also the most likable character i met in SEED, and he even has a quattro phase as he goes by alex dino! we'll give him points for effort. 9/10 you tried

Neo Roanoke

definitely not mu la flaga. hes also voiced by takehito koyasu. his mask looks kinda dumb, but i think the long hair look upgrades my man mu. takehito koyasu makes everything sexier. 8/10 bc i also simp for dio brando

Rey Za Burrel

how many char clones does the SEEDverse have? i do appreciate rey's early 2000s brooding anime boy look, though. 5/10

Gilbert Durandal

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SEED CHARS!!! this guy doesn't even look like a char clone, but he has the same voice actor and also apparently tries to drop shit on earth. we stan a king, honestly. 6/10 being in SEED deducts points

Hal Vizardt and Vladi Zarth

the wiki wont even give me a picture of these guys. 2/10 they get a point each

Ali Al-Saachez

i hate this guy. he sucks. normally i would find such endless villainy entertaining, but ali simply cannot work it in a way that's fun to watch or even in a way where you're like 'he's got a point.' he just sucks and i wish he could have been funny. we already have a char clone in graham anyway, so why are you here? bitch. 0/10 i was waiting for him to die

Graham Aker

he has all the tropes of being a char clone, and i loved him at first bc of his flair for drama and poetry, but alas! he got more and more sidelined for a different motherfucker. it's okay graham, i still love you! your mr. bushido phase was hilarious! 9/10 you deserved so much more

Full Frontal

hes getting points for the hilarious name but thats it. he is otherwise very boring. you cannot make me love a man just bc he is a literal char clone. 3/10

Zeheart Galette

AGE is also on my "deeply fascinated" list. eventually, eventually. i kinda dig this one's look. 7/10

Tatsuya Yuuki

initially, i hated yuuki bc i thought he was beating on middle schoolers for fun, but then i learned the dude is so goddamn passionate about gundam that he HAS to share it with others and honestly? king shit. while he's technically a char clone, i think he's actually a graham aker clone. the dude stans 00. an admirable position to be in. i love yuuki so much and hes my favorite build fighters character. 15/10 i will always respect the meijin

Captain Mask

the name is hilarious. hes got a cool mask too. i'll maybe watch recon one day bc of how ridiculous the reputation is. 8/10

Lady Kawaguchi

the rare female one, and proves that the kawaguchi name requires you to be extra as fuck. compared to yuuki's raw passion, she's cool and knows it, and doesn't need to flex. sadly doesn't get to do a lot. 10/10

McGillis Fareed

MCGILLIS MY BELOVED!!!! perhaps the only char clone that matters. this dude brings back the classic level of backstabbing, the supreme attractiveness, and in general, being an awful person. but i can't help but feel for the guy. he was trying his goddamn hardest to overturn a fucked up system. he also simply could not fathom having friends. mcgillis might only do the mask thing for a little and also wears a wig (McWiggis) but i forgive him, because the moves he does in bael are truly sexy. i adore mcgillis i have to rate him high but he cannot overtake the classic. 19/10 would let him betray me

Kyoya Kujo

even the wiki doesn't seem confident in this one. i like his look though. hes kinda got some gentle eyes, so i will assume he's the more quattro flavor of things. 6/10

Masaki Shido

BRUHHHH HE LOOKS LIKE A KNIGHT. 10/10

Honorable Mentions:

Master Asia

i didn't think he truly qualified as a char clone. he hits the villain thing and technically has some ideals aligned with char ? but he's a little too different. lacks majority of the archetype tropes. i still love him though 9/10

Vidar

hes got a mask and wants revenge. definitely not gaelio. the problem is, we already have mcgillis in IBO. i just don't register gaelio as being a char clone, because mcgillis is out here being the worst. gaelio is a wonderful character in his own right for all the opposite reasons that mcgillis is fantastic for being the worst. 10/10 i want nothing but the best for him

Ulube Ishikawa

just bc he has a mask covering half his face and is evil doesn't mean he's a char clone, wiki! and how dare you take away from schwarz just to be like "well ulube has a mask" WE HAVE ONE ALREADY!!! i also hate ulube. he is not a particularly charismatic character, but he isn't supposed to be. 2/10

and thus is my arbitrary ranking of the char clones. some people think char clones are bad. i for one, love them! i hope future entries have more masked men.

Character File: Sage Brooks

Note- This is the updated version of Sage’s initial “Fact File”

Warning- Brief mentions of parent death, death, abandonment, and bullying. Nothing descriptive or angsty, this isn’t a story just a fact file, but I’m adding warnings anyway. Also uh…I know parts of her story might not be...totally believable or even sorta stretched? But trust me when I say this is much better than her original story.

Also also, it's very very long. So..be prepared. Wish there was a way to sum this all up.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Full Name- Sage Celia Brooks Birthday- August 15th, 2002/1999 Age: Canon: 18 - 21 Future: 26 - 29 Hometown- Eyton, Northern Ninjago 

(Blood) Family- Aster Brooks (father; deceased), Lily Brooks (mother; deceased)

(Found) Family- Asher Woodman (older brother figure), Marion Nettle (younger brother figure)

(Future) Family- Willow Woodman (Niece), Cedar Woodman (Niece), Katlyn Woodman (Sister in law)

Hair- Black, falls to the center of her back, usually pulled into a braid of some form. Eyes- Silver Height- 5”3’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sage grew up in a small Northern village by the name of Eyton, a traditional, old fashioned place, where the main income was fish and river crustaceans/mussels. 

Sage’s parents moved to Eyton a year before Sage was born, taking an old, partially abandoned house as their own and fixing it to their liking. Aster took a job on the fishing boats, and hunted in the nearby forests both to bring meat home and bring in extra cash. Lily opened a baking business, and sold flowers during festivals. 

While there wasn’t any proof of the matter, people of Eyton whispered about how Aster looked suspiciously similar to a man who’d accompanied a gang that’d caused some trouble a few years prior, until a warrior had chased them off. 

Again, without proof they couldn’t hold a trial or even attempt to kick him and his slowly growing family out, but that didn’t stop the villagers from turning up their noses and even encouraging their kids to stay away from Sage and her parents. 

Despite her social isolation, Sage was a very sweet child, who always tried to be nice to her classmates despite feeling that they hated her. She wasn’t blind to the way adults acted whenever she walked through town with her father.

When she was seven years old, one of the town’s fishermen was found dead on shore, an arrow sticking out from his skull. Aster was the only notable archer in town, and it was noted that he’d had an argument with the man a few nights prior. Given his possible prior gang affiliations, he was placed under house arrest until a proper trial could be put together. 

The trial would be put off when an illness, deadly to adults (when left untreated) but nonlethal for children under seventeen, swept through the village. Lily caught said illness, and despite Aster’s attempts to take care of her, refusal from the village to treat her and inevitably Aster himself led to both of their deaths. 

After burying both her parents within the same week, Sage was kicked from the village after a mostly unanimous decision. 

For two years Sage wandered about alone, until she came to a village with a stone wolf statue in the center. 

On her third day there, she was cornered by a group of town kids, who taunted her and pushed her around until another street kid, a boy with white hair and blue eyes, stepped in and fought of the bullies. 

He only spent a few seconds checking to make sure Sage was ok, before turning to walk off by himself, determined to remain alone. 

Within that same week, a skeleton horde attacked the village. Sage was quick to find an elevated porch to hide under, hoping she could wait out the raid. 

This was when she spotted the white haired boy running, assumedly from the skeletons. Thinking quickly, she grabbed him and dragged him under the porch before he could be spotted. 

After what felt like hours of awkward silence between them, the boy introduced himself as Asher and the two ended up spending the night under the porch. They decided to stick together afterwards, Asher stating that they’d be partners, looking out for each other to survive. 

Sage would grow to care very much for Asher (platonically and soon in a familial way), and while Asher felt the same, he struggled to come to terms with caring for someone other than himself for a long time. 

When Sage was eleven, Asher managed to…find a job. A thief named Ronin offered to hire them for help on a job. Despite Sage feeling the job betrayed her morals, she didn’t was Asher to do the job alone, and so, she agreed to join. 

And this was the beginning of Sage’s long life of crime. As they got older, their names were spread around more and more, and soon a steady enough flow of money began to come in. 

As time went on, certain events started to change Sage’s overall demeanor and personality. At the beginning of her teenage years, anxiety and general depression ran rampant. By sixteen, an apathy started to overtake her. She started losing touch with the caring, over all happy girl she’d once been. 

During the SOG takeover, Sage became a target for UV’s wanted list after shooting some of the gang members. (Reason has yet to be determined). She caught the attention of Mr.E while running over the rooftops, and miraculously escaped with few injuries.

Sometime, early on in the takeover itself, Sage was traveling across the rooftops when she found a boy cornered by SOG members. She didn’t hesitate to shoot the gang members in the head with her bow, only realizing later that there may have been a more merciful way to deal with them. 

After learning that the boy didn’t have a place to go, she brought him with her to the apartment she shared with Asher at the time. He would introduce himself as Marion. 

Something about the rescue inspired her, and from there she would do her best to save other targets of the SOG for the remainder of the takeover. 

This was the start of a change in Sage, one that would reconnect her with herself. She started caring more, smiling again, thinking of different ways out of situations than just...shooting first. She felt severe guilt, but she also felt a form of freedom. She realigned her morals. 

Sage would do her best in the years that followed to provide Marion with a better life than her own, and would become a main supporter in his journey to master his element and become one of Ninjago’s protectors. 

Three years later, Sage ended hiding a young man with a green streak of hair from a team of muggers. Deciding to take a risk, she invited the strange man to their home. She wouldn’t let him know that she recognized him as the Morro until a week or so later. 

While Morro never joined in the thieving business, he did freelance with lifting and loading jobs to pull his weight. He’d also become Marion’s mentor later on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the future- Eventually, Sage would leave the crime life. The guilt of her actions and belief that her parents would be sorely disappointed in the way she’d led her life drove her to quit. 

She would never turn herself in, instead running a branch tea shop with a close friend, volunteering and donating when and where she can as an attempt to give back. 

She’d continue to be a supportive and loving figure in her brothers’ lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season by Season:

HTGAWM i finished it

So, i just finished HTGAWM and i have thoughts and views on everything. for someone who’s been following the show for years and giffed the show with that bad lighting, i just wanna let y’all know a few things that i ABSOLUTELY LOVED and HATED.

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT HTGAWM

STRONG FREAKING BADASS ANNALISE KEATING. I loved her character so much and it truly was everything. with how she handles herself in public despite what goes on in her personal life. how she just doesn’t take shit from people. ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVED IT.

Connor and Michaela’s friendship: I didn’t see it in the starting few seasons but it freaking was everything, the love they have for each other, the respect, the affection. THEY ARE THE PEAK BESTFRIEND BEHAVIOUR.

Michaela and Laurel’s friendship: WE NEED MORE SHOWS WITH FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS WHERE THEY ARE JUST NOT BETRAYING EACH OTHER FOR A MAN. I absolutely loved them. from the start how they always had each other’s back and just how they opened up to each other. (laurel in the last season was.... dont get me into it)

Few ships that i absolutely loved: Coliver, Flaurel, Eve and Annalise.They were the best babies, not to forget i did enjoy Bonnie and Asher a lot as well. absoultely loved them, i wish flaurel were canon but.... yeah... we know how that ended.

Bonnie by the end of the show: I wasn’t big on bonnie in the starting but by then end she had my heart. She was always loyal to annalise even to the point it started getting a little toxic. She always thought of others before her and as soon as she felt worthy of love, family, everything. It was all taken away from her and i hated everyone for it.

Things i ABSOLUTELY HATED about HTGAWM

Season 3: I feel like they just made season as a stand alone one shot show of it’s own. the season has no impact in the coming season. nothing from that season was ever mentioned. what even was the point? i am still so confused and i still think about it a lot.it was one of the best season.

Wes and Laurel: Made no freaking sense to me. NO SENSE WAS MADE. they... just happened... for what? i still dont get it. what was the point? they had no chemistry and they hardly ever interacted but then suddenly they were dating and were deep in love?!?! how?

Bonnie and Frank: legit made no sense again. like, they just wanted to run with a romance storyline and ran with it. there was NO NEED for real.

Asher, Bonnie and Frank’s ending: I, for a second, can still go behind Frank’s ending but what the hell was the rest of that shit. Asher’s ending wasn’t even relevant enough for him to have a proper goodbye, it was impactless. Bonnie died for NO REASON, her drama less life just started and it was already taken away from her.

Nate: I will always be confused with his charachter, just caused a lot of drama tbh.

Laurel’s disapperance: There was no point, it made no sense. So his father;s men can track down people like pros but can’t get to her who lived just an horu away from the city... like... makes no goddamn sense. and then she just called the keating 5 one day to tell them that she’s not a snitch. I mean... the story could have been so much better if she was IN IT.

The incest storyline: it literally feels like something the writers came up with at the very last minute because there were NO HINTS, nothing during the whole show. the big reveal would have made sense if it actually was something they hinted at. 

anyway, there are way more points that i wanted to mention but i think i’ll leave it here.

the show ended with a bitter-sweet note for me, as much as i was happy that the alive people got the life they deserved and dreamed of, it still made me a little sad for thinking how their lives made no sense at some point.

but yeah, the show was worth at least 1 watch if you wanna watch powerful women dominate.

Dragon Tomura X Reader: Mine LEMON AU

Scenario: This is sort of inspired by my old headcannon Tomura Shigaraki Turns Into A Child And His S/O Has To Take Care Of Him and I briefly mentioned the reader telling him a story about how a powerful dragon took down a powerful kingdom. So this is sort of based on that idea. Enjoy!

Childhood Abuse & Neglect are mentioned! As well as sexual content! You have been warned!

~~

You were a princess of your land. However, that title did not mean much when you had two older brothers and an older sister as well. Your eldest brother Prince Hadrian was supposed to inherit the throne when your father King Ulric died. Your other brother Prince Fendrel spent most of his days training as a knight to protect your people. He was even considered to become Captain of the Royal Guard, much to your father's disapproval. And your wicked sister Princess Dimia, was set to marry Prince Cedric of Vramor.

While you've never cared much for your family, your sister was always the worst. She almost pushed you down an empty well when you wanted to read and not play with her. The last time you played with her, she pulled on your hair because you weren't letting her win when playing tag. Your brothers never even tried to stop her when your back was against the well and you almost were about to fall into it. Luckily you kicked her in the stomach and managed to run away with your book. But your sister had blabbed to your father that you kicked her because she just offered for you two to play together. Forgetting to mention how she could have almost killed you. Even when you tried to explain it to him, he dismissed you because you were the youngest. After that, you were forbidden to leave your room for the next month and had all your books taken out of your room. You thought maybe once she grew older, this phase would change. You were wrong.  

She's thrown stones at you for not talking to her, let loose a trunk full of rats into your room when you were sleeping, pushed you off your horse so you fell into the river and has hit you on several occasions when no one is looking. The worst one of all was involving Prince Asher of Thizar. You and him were courting at the time. He was polite, charming and very humorous. It was a shame that your sister didn't like that you had any amount of happiness. So she ended up flirting and seducing the man you had come to love. You had walked by your sister's bedchamber's when you heard their moans. The door was slightly cracked and you saw how she was on top of him riding him and how he kept chanting praise for her. She even managed to look over her shoulder and flashed an evil smirk at you as the two of they came together loudly.

Your heart was crumbled and torn to pieces after that. The man you thought you would marry had ended up sleeping with your very own sister. You wept in frustration and pain that day. You didn't talk to Prince Asher after that and your sister was very smug after the affair. Most of your days since then have been you sneaking out of the castle to be alone. Your father didn't care about where you were going, your brother's might as well not know that you exist and your sister would probably like to see you being eaten by a bear.

You were in the forest on the outskirts of your kingdom. Tears dripping down as you recalled why you were so upset. Your father had made a dreadful announcement this morning. You were to be Prince Asher's wife this summer. This news enraged you but your elder sister seemed delighted as she praised that her younger sister would finally have a wonderful faithful husband. You couldn't hold your tongue. You told your father that you would never marry such a dishonest and heinous man who slept with your sister. Your father didn't listen and insisted that you would marry the prince. You tried convincing your brothers to support you but if it didn't concern them, they didn't care. Your sister smiled the whole time eating her breakfast happily.

With your trusty stallion Achard you fled the palace trying to hold down your sobs as best as you could. You never felt so unwanted and alone in all of your life. Not since disease took your mother's life when you were a young girl. It felt like hours you were huddled up by the oak tree as your horse grazed on the grass. Suddenly, you heard a yelp of pain as you flinched. A gray wolf with a gash on his back leg. He was limping and whining as you slowly approached the poor creature. You did have a soft spot for animals.

"You poor thing, let me help you..." you whispered calmly while approaching the wolf.

His eyes burned as he growled at you. An idea struck you though. In your bag you grabbed a roll of bread and slowly approached the animal. It sniffed he air and seemed interested in the food. You slowly leaned down and handed it the bread. It snatched it out of your hand and began tearing away at it. While the ravenous beast ate, you wiped the blood away gently from the wound with your shawl. Then grabbed some bandages from your bag and wrapped it around the wolf to stop the bleeding.

"There you go...it shouldn't be that bad. It'll heal in a few days." you murmured.

The wolf seemed to be much better as it began standing up. Then with a sniff of its tail it took off in another direction. You sighed in relief. At least the wolf would be fine.

"Well...aren't you the charitable one?" a voice spoke.

You looked around wildly as you heard a man's voice. It sent chills down your spine. You didn't have any knights by your side since your kingdom was peaceful and you preferred being alone. So who was watching you all the way out here? And where was he?

"Look above you human..."

With trembling hands you gasped in shock at what was above you. A slim man with pale skin and wrinkled around his eyes. His lips are chapped, a small mole on the right underneath, with visible scars on his right eye and under his lip. He has messy grayish-blue hair. But what stood out to you were the grayish-blue wings on his back. They weren't shaped like a birds, they looked like ones of a dragon. A dragon that can shapeshift into a human. He looked at you in delight at your shocked expression and then dropped down from his spot on the tree. He then flapped his wings and landed down safely. His red eyes beamed as he looked at you.

"W-Who are you? W-What are you?" you inquired.

The strange man chuckled. "My name is Tomura. You might have heard my name from travelers."

You have heard of his name before. He was a powerful dragon that had many other dragons at his command. They were known as the League of Draconian and were some of the most feared dragons in the world. Their leader was Tomura.

"What do you want with me?" you questioned.

"Such an inquisitive thing. Well my dear, I'm here because I want you to be my mate." Tomura stated.

Your eyes widened as your head spun in confusion. This fierce dragon wanted you to be his mate? Why? You didn't want to upset the destructive dragon in case he decided to kill you now.

"Why did you choose me to be your mate?" you asked.

"One of my spies has infiltrated your kingdom. They described to me a beautiful princess with (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes that had a strong heart and had intelligence that no one could match. I desire such a mate, even if she is human. And I can tell from your dress alone that you are in fact that princess." he replied.

It was then that he took your hand in his own. You could feel his dry skin on your own smooth skin. He brought his lips to your hand to place a soft kiss on it. Then gazed at you with such ferocious passion.

"Darling princess, I promise to make you the happiest woman in your species. I'll praise you till my dying breath. Catch you when you fall. We'll be side by side forever. I'll be faithful to you and only you for eternity. Dragons do mate for life, unlike that degenerate prince from Thizar. I won't betray or hurt you. You're my everything. And you're all mine." Tomura promised.

Your heart started beating wildly. While you knew he could be reciting a false declaration of love, his eyes showed dedication for you. Something no one since your mother, ever showed to you. If he truly wanted to eat you, he would have done so. Instead, he desired your love and loyalty. Something you also desired as well.

"I accept your proposal Tomura." you whispered.

However, he heard it and swept you into his arms so that the two of you could kiss. His lips may have been chapped but the warmth from the kiss was enough to assure you that this was the right choice.

You two pulled away as Tomura took a couple of steps back. You then saw his body change. His muscles contracts and expanded. His mouth began to shift as his eyes began to become more narrow and full of red. Achard fled as he saw the change Tomura was becoming. His wings expanded and grew as scales began surfacing on his skin. A deep snarl erupted that reminded you of an animal.

Finally, you saw Tomura as a dragon. His entire body matched his wings as crimson eyes narrowed at you. He was bigger than the oak trees you two were around. He even managed to knock one over with his long tail. Then you saw how his gigantic head lean down towards you. Carefully with his teeth, he picked you up by your dress and settled you on his back. You grasped onto one of his spines and felt your heart race tremendously when his wings unfurled.

And with one huge flap, they began to take off. You held on tightly as the adrenaline and wind kicked in. With a rather victorious roar, Tomura took off in the opposite direction of where you came from. However, you couldn't' be happier to escape your dreadful life. Now you would never have to see your sisters face ever again. You wouldn't have to hear about how your father excused her terrible behavior. Your brothers wouldn't just sit there in silence as you were left to be tormented. You now had some semblance of freedom.

~~

You now lived in the Crystal Mountains alongside Tomura and is League of Draconian. While it took sometime getting used to, you loved the life you now lived with the other dragons. It turns out the spy Tomura mentioned was your former maid Toga. She had been keeping an eye on the royal family since Tomura wanted to purge the kingdom for all its riches and used Toga as a spy to learn everything.

She kept ranting to Tomura about a nice sweet younger princess who kept to herself. That was when Tomura took an interest in you and wanted you as his mate. To which Dabi, teased him for going soft on a human.

But Tomura by no means was soft around other humans. As you and the League were around the campfire, Tomura explained what he had just done to your kingdom. He and the rest of the League had invaded your kingdom and demanded for furs, gold, food, jewelry and lavish dresses from the king. The king begged the dragon for him to take Princess Dimia instead. Your sister wept and hurled insults at your father for trying to sacrifice his own daughter to a dragon. Your brothers said nothing, much to your sisters distress. Tomura was disgusted by the king and already knew about the harsh abuse your sister put you through. So he let Toga have his fun torturing your sister. After all, the older princess was not as kind to her former maid like you were. Toga bit her with her jagged teeth, scratched her body and stepped on the fragile princess. This went on for an hour until your sister was eaten alive by the young female dragon. Your father was burned to a crisp by Tomura, he decayed into pieces.

The village was set ablaze by the dragons as they came back with many goods from your kingdom. Your brothers fled, no longer having a kingdom to rule or an army to command. You however couldn't find it in yourself to feel sorry for your father or sister’s death. They didn't deserve it. But your sister's abuse and your father’s negligence to not trying to help you, lead you to not care about the fate they suffered. Besides, you had a new family now.

Toga was a very small but energetic dragon who was also looking for a human mate as well. She was like the little sister you never had. Dabi might have had an nonchalant attitude but he wasn't uncaring like your older brothers were. He showed his ways of caring like bringing a wicker basket full of strawberries and claiming some farmer just left these and that you could have them. But you could tell he was looking out for you. Twice was looking out for you in many ways. He always wanted to make sure that you had enough room in the cave and he even taught you how to set up traps to catch animals to eat. Compress was a gentleman, despite eating meat off the brittle bone. He helped pick out some dresses that he thought would suit your complexion and skin tone. Spinner was shy but he opened up to you more. You helped him understand more about humans, since even in his human form he had green scales. So he never really got a chance to interact with them.

Tomura was a loving husband despite his dragon nature. While he did have his grumpy moods, he made accommodations to better suit your needs. Even going so far as to get you an official wedding ring to show that you were his and no one else's. He allowed you to go out of the cave but to never wander too far without someone to accompany you. He was just worried that you would get lost, hurt yourself or someone would try to take you away.

While he wasn't used to human ways, he did slowly learn about etiquette. He didn't know how to use a fork or spoon before. But thanks to you, he knew table manners to avoid looking like a slob in front of you. He even took an interest in reading alongside you. Which lead to many peaceful yet loving moments together.

One day, it was a hot summer day as you could feel the humidity rising steadily. You wanted to go out and not be trapped in the mountain all day. You slowly stretched from your bed of furs as you looked at the sparkling crystals above you. The ones that shined so beautifully like a chandelier. Beside you was your husband Tomura sleeping next to you. While you weren't married by law, being his mate made you his partner for life. So to you, he was your husband.

You brushed pieces of his hair covering his eyes and kissed his sleepy face. He slowly began to wake up stretching as well. His wings flapped a few times as they then began to pull you close to him. Tomura leaned into to give you a deep kiss as well.

"Morning princess..." he whispered.

"Good morning my love. Can we go out and find somewhere nice to swim? The weather is perfect." you requested.

Tomura slowly nodded as he leaned over the bed where the leftover strawberries were from Dabi's raid. He grabbed one and placed it near your mouth.

"Eat first."

Tomura fed you as he watched you with deep interest. He hasn't been around many humans, so he was curious to know everything about you. From your deepest fears to your little mannerisms. He took pride in being a dutiful husband to you.

The two of you then proceeded to get dressed. You wore a long white blouse with a long skirt. While Tomura wore a dark tunic to match with his breeches. He had much more regal clothes  but when he was with you, he tended to dress much more relaxed. You two walked out of your corner of the cave hand in hand. Toga was skipping about looking at the multiple dresses she owned.

"Oooh! (Nickname)! I found such a cute human boy with green hair and sparkly eyes! I'm going to try and talk to him today! Wish me luck!" she exclaimed while picking a yellow dress and leaving the area.

"So where are you two heading off?" Dabi eyed.

"We'll be out for awhile. Keep an eye around things here while we're gone." Tomura ordered.

"Sure. Just don't get too carried away lovebirds." Dabi teased.

You blushed at Dabi's remark while Tomura rolled his eyes. You two hadn't exactly have had sex yet. He's been intimate with you, ranging from heated kisses to groping your body. But never actually going all the way with it. Although, this might be a good opportunity to do so. You two would be alone and wouldn't have to worry about prying eyes.

The two of you were outside as Tomura handed you his clothes. You tried not to pry at his nude appearance but you had no such control when it came to your husband. His lean body with muscles and strong arms were a sight to behold for any woman. Though you did look away when he came to take off his pants out of some sort of modesty. That's when you saw him turn into his dragon form.

Large scales began forming around his body. His hands changed to that of talons and scaly feet. His teeth grew to the size of maple trees. His whole body extended and grew as his wings began to grow during the shift. He even had a tail that swished around to help keep his balance. Tomura suddenly bowed his head down to you. A sign that he wanted you to hop on and hold on. You gripped the horn on his head as his nostrils flared as his wings extended. Then he took off with a burst of speed.

The wind blew past you as Tomura soared up high to where the clouds were. You always loved flying with him. Even when he first took you off, you loved the feeling of flying in the air. His wings spread out as you could see the blue sky all around you. His scales were pretty too.

"You know Tomura, you're quite handsome as a human. But I do love your dragon form as well. You look quite majestic in this form!" you praised.

Tomura snorted at you but you could tell he loved your compliment deep down. You knew life as a dragon was probably tough for him when he was little. But you swore you would make up for all the compliments he should have received when he was younger.

He eventually landed down onto a patch of grass as you saw a spring with roaring water flowing down. You hopped off Tomura and placed his clothes on a tree while he shifted back to his human form. Sticking your hand down, you felt the gentle cool water under your finger tips. It made you want to take a dip more than before.

You quickly shed your clothes and hopped into the spring water. Unbothered by Tomura's piercing stare at your nude form. The water felt so relaxing to be in on this humid day. Tomura couldn't stop staring at your peaceful face. You were so beautiful to him. He couldn't believe you accepted his initial proposal. He thought he would have to kidnap you to get you to stay with him. But you stayed with him. You never tried to sneak out to leave or tried to get help. You were comfortable enough to stay with him.

It made his heart flutter in his chest. This has to be what love is. This was more than what he felt before. He was genuinely happy to be with you. In that moment, Tomura smiled brightly. He was very happy.

He dived into the water and emerged to be at your side. You stood up next to him, exposing your naked chest. He gulped as he stared at your sublime body. Not a single trace of you, did Tomura hate. He wanted to touch all of you. Claim all of you until you were undoubtedly his in everyway.

His arms wrapped around your waist slowly, as yours wrapped around his neck. Your naked bodies touching each other. You could feel Tomura's erect cock and...there was another one. After this discovery, you could just feel you were getting wet down below. And it had nothing to do with the spring water.

His wings spread out so you could only gaze at him. Like nothing else mattered in this moment, expect for him.

"Do you want me?" he asked.

"Yes." you murmured.

 "Are you mine?" he leaned forward more.

"Yes!" you agreed.

His lips slammed onto yours as you two began devouring each other's lips. Warm yet persistent kisses touched your body as you gave into the dragon. A whine escaped your throat as you felt his sharp fangs nip at your body. Hickies were planted along your neck and collarbone.

"Mine! You're mine!" he growled.

You thoroughly enjoying the calloused hands of your lover as he urgently rubbed your body, stopping to squeeze at the flesh of your waist before moving his way up to your chest. His hands rubbing your breasts as he began sucking on your left nipple. While toying with the other one. His thumb brushed against it as you let out a moan. He then moved his mouth to the other one as he began sucking on your left breast. The little whines erupting from your mouth made Tomura ache and he wanted to claim more of you.

His mouth pulled away from your chest and began latching onto your neck to suck and bite. One of his hands moved to grope your ass lovingly. His other hand began to slide down the expanse of your abdomen, palming your core. A deep sigh left your lips as he did this. Tomura's slick fingers sliding up and down your wet folds teasingly. He let out a low laugh.

"Do you want me beloved? Do you want me to touch you?"

You nodded as another moan escaped your mouth. Tomura slid a single finger inside you, moving it back and forth slowly. You began bucking your hips desperately as he moved you the rocky wall of the spring for you to lean back against. He was roughly fingering you into bliss, groaning in desire as he released his fingers from your heat. Catching your lips once again, his needy tongue ventured out to find its way into your awaiting mouth all too eager. You wrapped your legs around his waist as his wings spread out to shield you two from the world around you.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"I want you Tomura!" you pleaded.

"You want me to fuck you on both of my cocks? Is this how you want me to fuck you? Are you going to be a good princess and take both at once?" Tomura questioned as he began roughly humping against your core.

"Yes! I want both of them! Please fuck me with both of them at once! I need it!"

He grinned maniacally at your screams. He slowly begin to insert the first one into your cunt. Causing your legs to wrap around his waist tightly.

"M-More!" you gasped.

Tomura loved seeing you squirm for him. To see just how desperate you were to take all of him. Meanwhile you couldn't comprehend how good he felt pressed inside you. Then he wrapped his hand around his second one and slowly began to insert the other one in as well. Causing you to shake and moan loudly. Desperately rocking against his second dick as to entice him. Which it did. In one quick thrust your grinding hips were met with his pelvic bone.

"Ah!!"

Your heated gaze met with Tomura's as you saw his lustful expression directed at you. He then began to thrust, fast, but he had returned to entering you only halfway with both cocks. The sounds coming from both of you were already pushing him not just cum inside of you right now. He wanted this to feel good for both of you. He then started pulling all the way out, then he paused, only to slam back in with a brutal force. You shrieked as he continued pounding into you. During his violent thrusting, you vaguely noted the vicious snarls and growls emanating from your husband.

"Faster! H-Ah-Harder!" you whined.

Tomura growled at his mate, his hips snapping faster than ever before. He kept jolting his hips forward and your cries of ecstasy filled the spring. His wings were flapping rapidly as he kept filling you up with both cocks. You were stretched out beyond all conceivable belief. Tomura let his feral side run wild as his massive cocks tore through your walls. Your orgasm shook you through your entire body as you called out your lover’s name. As you came on his twitching shafts, Tomura spilled his seed into your tight womb. Tomura’s seed kept spilling into you as the two of you kissed each other lovingly. 

“I’m all yours Tomura.”

Hidden Blades and Cricket Bats: Prologue CH. 2

[later.]

Jacob was sitting on bench looking up at the sky trying to figure out what his next move was? while Iris was passed out sleeping on his lap when this little old "lady" waddled over to him. "Hello Freddy." Jacob chirped as the old lady looked up the reveal a full black beard as he glared annoyed at the younger man. "Mr Frye I've been looking for you." the inspector huffed holding a missing person's poster out to the assassin, who didn't even look at it. "Funny... I was just going to say the same to you." the hazel eyed man quipped Abberline cocked an inquisitive brow at the young man.

"See, I kind of need some help with uh...Reese here." he pointed down at Iris and nearly laughed when the Inspectors eyes bugged out of his skull. as he looked at the poster then girl the back at the poster flabbergasted."I was just.. how the-..but she!!" He struggled forming a coherent sentence before blurting out that Iris was the reason he was looking for one of the Frye's she'd been missing for four weeks and the police just got a ransom note from her kidnappers! "Huh, so I was right...and Evie says I'm thick and off-centered." Jacob boasted proud of himself the police inspector coughed snapping at him to focus!

"We need to find who took her and how she escaped, have you encountered any strange individuals?" Jacob nodded and told Abberline what happened not even an hour ago! To say Freddy was pissed was an understatement as he laid into Jacob about how he could've asked where the kidnapper hideout was! "Well sorry, I wasn't exactly thinking about that at the time."

He hissed hazel eyes looking down at Iris who had woken up from the two men shouting at each other and immediately both of them quieted down when they saw she had a guilty look on her face. "We're not arguing because of you Reese." Jacob assured her patting her head showing a side of himself that very few see, making Abberline feel like an arse now, it should've been obvious the assassin was just thinking of Iris's safety when they were attacked. 

A few moments of collecting himself Frank took them to his home Mrs Abberline was nice host offered Iris sweets as Fred tried to coax the girl into telling him what her kidnappers looked like? Her gray eyes looked up at Jacob unsure he nodded telling her she can trust Freddie.

The little girl explained didn't recognize any of the men that Jacob had taken care of, But the ginger haired man he let go... She recognized his voice he was arguing with another man he kept mentioning money and her grandparents! Freddy then asked how she got away "a boy around my age with them..."

The blond admitted the boy; Peter was supposed to be watching her, but she guessed he started having second thoughts, he woke her up one night untied her arms handed her some clothes told her to get changed then he cut her hair and and snuck her out of the house, took her to the park and left her there. "I think he thought I'd go to the police...but I didn't know where to go, so I slept under a bridge." 

She felt Jacob's hand on her shoulder as she stared at her feet. "Do you remember where this house is?" He asked keeping his voice even, his jaw was tight and his eyes were narrowed and focused, She shook her head and the assassin decided to go ginger hunting...he alerted his Rooks for a skinny Scotsman with broken ribs limping around the city. 

The messenger boy was found within the hour the Rooks had him tied up in one of the back rooms of a tavern, he spilled everything he knew about the abduction and how they smuggled Iris into London. Of course Jacob already knew all about that! he wanted to know where the boss was hiding, the man was reluctant at first, but when Jacob started making threats on breaking more bones, which the gang leader did (he broke two fingers) the ginger haired coward coughed up the location, and old abandon manor in Whitechapel.      

[The next day.]

Fred and Jacob stood in front of an old dilapidated manor half the place was burnt down and barely holding together, the two men cautiously walked up the porch as the assassin grabbed a brick and the two stood on either side of the door as Fred knocked on the door whilst yelling "Police! open up!" the inspector announced sure enough a shot went off and a bullet went through the door.

Jacob dropped the brick to the floor making a thud noise, who ever took the shot, opened the door to check and got a hidden blade to the neck as the assassin pounced on them. "Aw piss!" Jacob quietly cussed seeing the red clothes; Blighters the idiots hired Blighter to help them find Iris and guard the house! He shot Abberline a look and the inspector nodded and stayed outside. as Jacob went deeper into the house silently taking out the guards and blighters when he stopped under a vent and heard voices talking.

"My boys are getting restless Brian, you promised us the money two weeks ago! now where is it?" A woman's voiced demanded as the sounds of someone stomping their foot as a Scottish voice gruffly answered back "You'll get the money as soon as we get the brat!" the woman scoffed at him as Brian said his men were out looking an the found her, Ed just hit a wall is all.

 "Yes a Wall...There's no wall idiot! you pissed off Jacob Frye and now my men are paying for it!?" The Scotsman told the Blighter woman to calm down but it fell on deaf ears "This kid better be worth her bloody weight in gold or else I'll off you and the little bastard!" She snarled before stomping out of the room.

Jacob hid behind the wall as she was stomping by but froze when she found the bodies in the hall and tried to run back to warn everyone only to get yanked in a room and getting her neck broken her body hit the ground with a thud tipping off the man upstairs that something was amiss, Jacob heard the guy cuss confused and walk out of the room and started calling out Marge? that's who Jacob assumed was the Blighter's name was?

The assassin came out of hiding scaring the crap out of Brian who aimed a gun at the imposing man "W-who the hell are you?" he stammered as Jacob cocked his head to the side. "Oh, I think you already know who I am..." Jacob said taking a step the man fired... but nothing happened and the assassin chuckled "I'm taking guess Margie here gave ya that gun, probably loaded it with blanks knowin' a little weasel like you would betray her." He said still walking towards the terrified man as he un-sheathed his cane sword, Brian dropped the gun and ran for it Jacob rolled his eyes and gave chase truth is he had no intentions on killing the guy just wanted to scare him before handing him over to Freddy.

"Look Brian come down here and fight me like a man or..." Jacob had Brian cornered in his makeshift office and the Scotsman jumped out the window! "..Bloody Weasel!" Jacob sputtered before running to window to to see Brian on the ground with an obvious broken leg and Freddy aiming a gun at his head. "Oi! Ask him where Peter is?!" 

Jacob shouted from the window as Abberline nodded the Scotsman said something and one of the Bobby's Freddy had guarding the front went to a old rickety shed a few feet a away's and came out carrying a skinny shivering boy with the same bruises as Iris on his wrist no surprises these scum thieves would turn on their own! child or not. 

the ride to the hospital where Brian and Peter were going to be treated at was eventful, the Scotsman shot daggers at Jacob & Iris as he confessed to Abberline why he had taken her, turns out he used to work for her grandfather he was fired after he was blamed for stealing property, obviously he took exception to that decided to take old man Adair's granddaughter as revenge "Wasn't going to give her back, she can rot in London for all I care.." he huffed he then glared at Peter who was clinging to Abberline said police inspector didn't seem to sold on Brian's confession.

"then this little git decided he wanted to be a hero..." he kept raving as Jacob gave Freddy a look that said 'Can I hit him, please?' but the inspector shook his head at him, the younger man frowned then an idea struck him, Jacob couldn't hit him, but Fred didn't say anything about the kids!~... 

the assassin smiled with glee as whispered something to Iris, who smirked and accidentally gave Brian's broken leg a small kick causing the man to yelp in pain. "Why you little-!!!" the Scotsman snarled ready to lunge! only shut-up seeing Jacob hidden blade in his face, Brian backed off sunk into his seat and kept his head down the entire ride. Abberline had Jacob take care Iris until he could get word to her grandparents she was alright which could be a few days.

Evie was annoyed to be kept out of the loop when her brother finally turned up after missing for two days, And was even more so about him showing up at the hideout with a random child, She was skeptical when Jacob said that Iris or "Reese" asher brother has so affectionately dubbed the blond girl; was in his protective custody until her grandparents arrive, he even had it in hand writing as he had Abberline write a note to Evie explaining the situation to her.

Needless to say the older Frye twin was against it! they were assassins! not bloody nursemaids! Which annoyed her brother who insisted he can watch Iris! then his sister had to brig up the damn "guinea pig incident" See when the twin were nine their father decided to get them a pet.

A white and brown guinea pig named Louie, Evie was terrified of the poor rodent! so, he immediately became Jacob's pet... unfortunately poor Louie didn't last a month with them as Jacob soon got lazy with his responsibilities and their little fuzzy friend soon passed away after Jacob tried feeding him chocolate not realizing it was bad for guinea pigs...

"But Reese isn't a guinea pig Evie! And I've been doing a pretty good job thus far!" He huffed but his sister was still adamant that he was going screw this up somehow, But surprisingly she had her assumptions thrown back in her face as Jacob was ever patient and vigilant with Iris who rarely strayed from her brother, much to Evie's churning for the last week he and Henry spent their time entertaining the child the Indian assassin acted like tutor teaching her basic history,math, writing and much to the female assassin's jealousy showing Iris their flower collection..., 

While Jacob was teaching the little girl how to free run and play poker. Evie did not like it; terrible as Iris's situation was, Jacob's the elder half was beginning to see the little girl as a hindrance. So, imagine her joy when a man showed up at the station claiming to be Iris's uncle, the man put on a convincing act of grieving uncle.

the female assassin didn't even think twice as she handed Iris off to him despite the girl's reluctance. "Can we wait for Jacob to come back? Please!?" the blonde frantically begged but Evie was having none of it they already wasted enough time playing guard dog! the Templars could've already found a clue to the piece of Eden! "I'll tell him you said goodbye, now go with your uncle." Evie pushed the child forward ignoring the way Iris winced when her uncle grabbed her hand tightly and the way she looked back at the female assassin terrified as she was practically dragged out out of the train station.

[Two hours later...]

Henry and Jacob had returned with Freddy and an elderly couple who the inspector introduced as Iris's grandparents saying they were there to collect their granddaughter... Which confused Evie "She's not here her uncle came and got her." she informed the air suddenly shifted as she watched everyone's faces contort into shock a sinking feeling settled in Evie's stomach. 

"You sent her uncle to come get her, didn't you?" the grandmother was the first to break the tense silence as a devastated wail echoed through the platform, as the old woman accused Evie of killing her grand-baby. "w-Wha-" the female Frye stammered flummoxed at the old lady's accusation as her brother sent a heated look towards her.

"The uncle was the one who abducted Iris, He going to kill her Evie!" Henry snapped said as he and Iris's grandfather tried to console the old woman, Evie brows furrowed as she tried to process this. "w-why didn't anyone tell me?!" she demanded as Jacob who was barking orders to his Rooks tuned to her.

"I did."

"No you most certain-"

"Yes. I. Did... But you were to busy with your bloody curio search to listen!"

"Jacob..I"

"Don't. Just don't, you've done enough." Jacob croaked before one of the Rook's came running up to them with a note addressed to Iris's grandfather demanding he come to Radclyffe mill in Whitechapel, bring the deed to the family fortune and to come alone or Iris will be joining her parents... They devised a plan Freddy was to disguise himself as Iris's grandfather have Ned find someone to make a counterfeit deed and money, head Whitechapel; Henry and Evie will silently take out the guards and have Rooks who have recently joined and haven't yet discarded their old Blighter colors replace them. "Can you do that sister dear, or is it too much of inconvenience?" Jacob spat still upset with her Evie winced and silently nodded.

Sure enough the plan almost went off with a hitch until Jacob and Freddie got inside the inspector was standing nervously waiting for Iris's uncle to appear and he wasn't there... The two men though someone tipped the abductor off! But that thought was soon thrown out the window when a man's howl of pain echoed somewhere the factory. 

Jacob and Freddie looked at each other before splitting up cautiously searching the dark factory, he could hear Freddy fumbling in the dark, while Jacob could see perfectly his eyes found a bloody screwdriver tossed haphazardly aside not far a blood trail leading to the darken loading area...

Meanwhile

Iris pressed her back against a wall a she silently tried to catch her breath... "Where are ya..." Her uncle hissed looking around the loading area for her, She pretended had to go to the toilet he untied and led them to a small room the little girl then acted like she needed to tie her boot and bent down as her uncle remind unaware of her taking a screwdriver she stolen out of Bob's tool box hidden in her coat, Before the greedy bastard even knew what was happen Iris stabbed him in the shin, He howled in pain dropping to his knees and she took off running as he snarled at her pulled the screw driver out of his foot and started limping after her. 

A single flickering ceiling light was the only source of visibility Iris controlled her breathing and steady her heart rate, as she remembered what Jacob told her about using the shadows to her advantage should the situation happen where he wasn't able to help her. she noticed the pattern between the light flicking off and on saw a load of wood hanging from the ceiling an idea formed in the little girls head. 

She heard her uncle's ragged breathing getting closer..."Ha!" he snapped looking behind the wall Iris had been just seconds ago! his brows furrowed bemused when he tiny foot steps above him... he grinned manically and started firing into the platforms above him, Iris had to time this right...

She jumped in the the wood load and like she predicted her uncle fire a shot it missed her! but it hit the rope securing the load to the ceiling, Iris ran along the logs and preformed a leap of faith she knew there was no soft landing waiting for her! she closed her eyes tight wait for the pain or death, but instead she felt the wind get knocked of her as she caught mid-air by an arm and pulled into a hard chest as before a second arm wrapped around torso and her head was under their chin as they entered a roll.

When Iris opened her eyes she saw Jacob was the one who caught her! Who kept his eyes narrowed at her uncle who clapped drowning the sound of the rope snapping above him "Bravo Mr. Frye that impressive act but I'm afraid thi-" He was cut of by a pile of lumber logs falling from the ceiling crushing him, Jacob covered Iris with his body an attempt to shield her from harm and the gruesome sight, luckily none of the logs came close to hitting them...  

The assassin sighed before checking Iris over. "Are you alright?" She nodded he relaxed and hugged her Iris kept trying to look at the log pile,causing Jacob grimaced. "Hey! don't look there o'right, eyes on me!" he ordered her gray eyes went back to the hazel eyed man who told her to keep her eyes on him or his necklace until they were far from this mill.

Freddie showed up a few moments later baffled at the scene he saw the blood seeping out from under the log pile, and demanded an explanation, Jacob said he'll give him one once they're out of Whitechapel...

They made sure Iris sleeping Jacob made up a story that Iris's uncle chased her up into the loading bay observation platforms, Jacob confronted him and the deranged man tried to kill himself and Iris, but she kicked the stab wound she caused on his shin causing the gun to go off he shot the rope holding the logs he was standing on, "I caught Iris seconds before the rope snapped ... and well you saw the aftermath." the inspector grimaced just muttered about getting the girl back to her family, but Jacob made him stop the carriage first Freddie was confused.

What could Mr. Frye possibly want at a jewelry store? a half an hour later the assassin returned with a small box, he open it to reveal a silver and ebony hair pin with a tiny Rook on it. Freddie cock a brow. "Figured she deserved something nice to remember London by." The inspect lips not really believing the young man "Right London..." Jacob shot him a look as the station came into view, Jacob shook Iris awake she groggily looked at him then out the window to see her grandparents standing outside with Henry.

Iris nearly jumped out of the carriage before it stopped Jacob smiled as she ran over to her grandfather and hugged him the old man ws stunned at like he wasn't sure she was really there before wrapping his arms around her, followed by his wife burst into happy tears as she scooped Iris of the ground peppering her face with kisses much to the girl's protests!

Her Grandfather went over to Jacob the assassin assumed the old man was coming in for a hand shake, instead he was stunned when his pulled into a tight hug by the old Scotsman. "Thank you..." he wept before the assassin was bit baffled by this but luckily the old man pulled away going back to his family a few hours later after everyone had said their goodbyes

The Adairs were waiting at the platform waiting for a train to Holyhead and from there to the port to catch a ferry to Ireland her grandparent it would be best to relocate after everything that's happened. Henry gave Irish her own little book of flowers as she really seemed interest in botany.

Evie gave her her first flower to press in it a purple hyacinth... And told her to take care of herself, As they were about to board Jacob finally showed up! "Sorry lass few of the Rooks kept handing me thing for you." he said handing her a small basket that had little oddities, A bullet, necklace with a human tooth, marbles, a deck of cards and couple tins of sweets and small felt doll.

"And here's my contribution. " He took out the little box from the jewelry store out and crouched down to her level opened it Iris's widened at the the rook hairpin "I saw you eyeing it... after coming back from the fight club. " He gently placed it in her hair "You said it looked like the birdy on my chest, so figured why not?" he pulled his hand back examining his work and smirked.

 "Looks nice take care of it, alright?" Iris hugged nodded and him he hugged her back as her grandma called her to hurry up! "I miss you Jacob." The blond girl said before giving him a small kiss on the cheek and joining her grandparents on the train. "I'll miss you too..." the Assassin hummed sadly as his sister came up behind gave him a hug before the two went back to hideout to finish their mission.

Little did Jacob know he would be seeing Iris again in the near future...

End of the prologue.

OC tober writing challenge: Day 1

Beginnings | OC: Edwin ‘Eddie’ Burkley | 880 words

@oc-growth-and-development

From a young age, Eddie wasn't deemed a very bright kid. He didn't really get math and he was horrendous at learning new languages. The only thing he was good at was art: drawing, painting,... But those didn't belong on the scale of academic achievement. Not according to Mr. Burkley, his dad and the town's mayor. Of course the man wanted his son to go into politics and he had been less than pleased with his son's affinity and passion for art. But he was willing to compromise and allow his son to become an architect, that was a creative career and profitable. However Eddie saw a couple of flaws in that plan, the most noteworthy one: his lack of math skills. So his dad arranged him extra tuition after school, which could've perhaps helped him, except he wouldn't know because he never went. No use trying, if you already know you're gonna fail and your career path has already been planned out for you when you're fucking thirteen.

In short, Eddie Burkley, now a sixteen-year-old high-school student, had poor math skills, was a poor judge of character and above all he was very, very angry. He did what every frustrated kid was tempted to do at least once in their school-career and on one sunny April morning between French and Chemistry at exactly a quarter past ten, Eddie punched Thomas Flint straight on the nose for making one too many jokes about negligent mothers taking off, leaving their kids with unloving fathers. 

Dim and a bully, that was how he would be perceived his last two years of school, before he could escape this shitty town. Life was never easy and always unfair, but someone told him it would get better with a wicked, twisted grin. For once in his life, someone actually seemed to give a damn about him. Alas as mentioned before, Eddie was a terrible judge of character.

Bullying, beatings, blackmail... They all became regular going-ons in his daily life and while it didn't terrify him at the time, it still freaked him out afterwards. Brainwashed or not, what he had been capable of was horrible. He had focused all his energy into bullying one kid in particular, Asher Kersey. He didn't have anything against him personally, but the person with the wicked grin did and Eddie did what was asked of him, no questions asked.

Eddie's school work, which had already been going down, plummeted. He flunked his exams and failed his year. And on top of that he got betrayed. Somehow he wasn't good enough or didn't try hard enough.

"Stupid, dim Eddie. You didn't think I actually gave a damn about you? You're no longer useful to me, so you might as well die."

Eddie didn't die, but his life felt like hell nonetheless, because he wasn't the only one who flunked their exams and failed their year, Asher Kersey did as well. The Bully and The Bullied, what a pair they made, except they didn't, because Asher avoided him like the plague and Eddie didn't blame him. Eddie wished he could avoid himself too.

The next year was tough. Most people saw him as an aggressive bully still and walked a wide arch around him. He didn't have any friends, his dad was very disappointed in him and his only happiness in life came in the form of Friday afternoon's optional class: Art History.

While dim Eddie struggled through most of his year, he thrived in Art History. Only a dozen of people took that class, unfortunately among them was Asher Kersey, but even their troubled past faded away in that classroom where only the lights were dim.

Graduation marked the end of your teenage years, the most formative years of your lives one says and Eddie had mucked up a big portion of it. Didn't only screw it up for himself but also Asher. After graduation they would never have to see each other again and it filled Eddie both with relief and regret.

From a distance Eddie watched Asher talking animatedly with his whole group of friends. Laughing and joking, and enjoying life like he deserved. Eddie didn't deserve that. Edwin Burkley didn't deserve second chances, because no one had ever given him one.

Until now.

Asher found Eddie sitting on the floor of the Art History class, sobbing and vehemently scrubbing away his tears, leaving red streaks on his cheeks. When Eddie looked up he saw Asher's outstretched hand and asked him what the hell he was doing here.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm giving you a hand."

"I can see that, I'm not dumb."

Asher remained silent at that, still offering his hand to Eddie. After some internal struggle with himself, Eddie latched on and pulled himself upright with Asher's help.

"I never did apologize to you, did I?" Eddie said, rubbing his red-rimmed eyes, awkward and painfully aware of his lack of social skills. "Well... I'm really sorry."

Asher plopped himself down on one of the desk and wordlessly asked for Eddie to do the same. "Thanks." Was the only thing he said for a while. After a while, it could've been minutes or hours, he continued visibly brighter and with a smile on his face, "Fresh start?"

Bingo: Confrontation

(Confrontation - Asher Thorne, Ferrus Thorne, and Alexois Dubeltaire. A little bit of backstory. The fight that ended with the brothers going their separate ways.)

Hazel eyes watched the group below him with a clearly bored look on his face. Huffing softly as his older brother was giving the rest of the bandits directions for their latest hit against a small settlement in the Shroud. His shaggy black hair with it’s green tips was long and hanging down as he was hanging upside down from a tree branch above the others.

Another raid. More chances the Wailers would seek them out even more then usual. Ferrus was getting far too cocky lately. Either they were going to suffer at the hands of the Wailers or by the Elementals. Ferrus was clearly playing with fire now. His older sibling had only gotten worse in recent years. The distance between the two of them had grown.

Especially since Alexois had joined their crew. Some Ishgardian elezen that had come south to escape something that had happened. The man didn’t really talk about his reasons with anyone but Ferrus. Asher really didn’t like the elezen very much but had to admit the man was good at punishing those that tried to betray them. Someone had clearly taught the elezen how to torture people.

Not to mention most of these raids had very little use for Asher. His skill was with a bow and shooting from a tree. Raids were far too dangerous for him to be playing marksman from a tree. Most of the trees didn’t give him good vantage points at settlements. Or there was a high risk of hitting on of their own men if he wasn’t careful. Raids with this group were more of an up close and personal fight.

Of course Asher cared about his brother but at the same time was worried. He wasn’t interested in dying or being arrested this young. Even if the only family he had was Ferrus. Even since they were nothing more then children. Maybe it was time to stand up to his brother. Or at least try to make his brother see reason before something bad happened.

“Get your ass down here, Asher!” Ferrus hollered up at Keeper in the tree as he finished explaining the plan to the others.

A sigh and a roll of his eyes as he dropped down from where he’d been hanging out. Flipping as he fell to land in a crouch on the ground near the group. Giving his brother an annoyed look as he brushed his hair back out of his face. Gods he missed the way things used to be with his brother before.

“You don’t need a marksman on this stupid raid, Ferrus. Besides the Wailers are getting more annoying lately cause you’ve been greedy. I swear you’ve been more greedy in these last few years then ever. It’s all that damned Ishgardian you’ve taken in.” Asher hissed in annoyance as he pointed a finger at the tanned elezen with the shortened blonde hair. Only feeling more riled up when the man smirked at him and made a crude gesture at him. “Why won’t you listen to me?”

“Shut up, Asher. I am still the leader of this group, not you. If you want to have this confrontation in front of the others… Then keep running that trap of yours.” Ferrus snarled back at his brother, barring the Keeper fangs at him, tail flicking in annoyance. “Or I can just had you to Alexois and call you a traitor now and save us all the hassle later.”

“So you’d do this to your own brother? I can’t believe you, Ferrus… We’re flesh and blood, you asshole!” Asher snarled as he stormed over to his brother and glared up at him, being several inches shorter than his sibling. “Listen to me before it’s too late. You’re going to either invite the wrath of the Elementals or piss off the Wailers to the point they have us hunted down and killed.”

Ferrus snarled and swung a fist, catching Asher on the cheek with a nice right hook. Asher went down on his side as he blinked in surprise, rubbing his sore jaw. Could taste blood where his own fang tooth had cut his lip when he was punched.

So that was how this was going to be huh?

Asher stood up and dusted himself off, not even looking at his brother as he walked to where he had left his bow and quiver. Picking them up without a word.

“If you walk away… You’re a traitor. You know that right?” The threat was clear in Ferrus’ tone of voice as he cast a brief glance in Alexois’ direction.

Asher took a deep breath as he made his choice in his head. If he stayed this would only end in blood between them. Last thing he wanted to kill his own brother. Still he hoped that someday his brother would get his head out of his ass and see reason. Today wasn’t going to be that day. Asher turned quickly with an arrow knocked on his bow as he aimed the arrow right at Alexois. He kept it trained on the elezen though his eyes cast a glance at his brother for only a second to see the fear flicker there. Ferrus knew full well just how good a shot Asher was and that he’d take that shot too.

It was risky. Walking away and hoping Ferrus didn’t send Alexois after him. None of the others had spoken up. They were clearly afraid of Ferrus and Alexois. But Asher refused to go down with them.

“Good bye, brother. I will kill anyone you send after me. So don’t waste your time. I don’t plan to stick around the Shroud anyways. I’m not stupid enough to keep pressing my luck till the Elementals decide to dust us all. I hope someday you’ll understand how stupid this is.” Asher began to take cautious steps backwards as he kept his eyes on the group.

Alexois hadn’t made a move though. The elezen just gave him a rather bored look. Then Alexois looked like he was saying something that Asher couldn’t quite hear at this distance. A sneer forming as the man finished moving his lips.

‘Give them hell.’

Only Asher couldn’t hear those words. He waited till he had enough distance between himself and the group before turning. Sprinting as fast as he could away from the group. Not planning on stopping till he’d reach Thanalan at the very least. Praying that someone in the Twelve would bless him just enough to let him escape.

But no one was chasing him anyways.

“Stupid ass brother.” Ferrus snarled and looked about ready to chase his little brother.

“Let him go. I don’t think he’s worth chasing anyways.” Alexois responded in a bored tone though his eyes clearly said he was amused by this turn of events. “Besides I ain’t getting between the two of you either. Solve your own damn family problems.” Giving a yawn the elezen turned and started to head towards the spot they had planned. Seemingly pleased smile on his face once he was turned away from Ferrus.

Ferrus hissed in annoyance before flashing a glare at the remainder of his men. Every one of them quickly found ways to make themselves busy. No one wanted to further poke the angry miqo’te.

Just gonna unpack this bc yes

So "Hello Brother" is the best song from that episode first off

And it's perfect for these two

"You know me better than anyone, you know my thoughts before they've begun..you know my darkest desires, what lays me low, what inspires..and you hold it over me"

Could be referencing to how close they are and how Lust seems to know what they're thinking all of the time and how Lust uses it as blackmail.

"We've shared more than a lifetime together, fought more battles than I can remember..and when we're under attack, you stick the knife in my back..and you'll never let me go"

Is Lust referencing their time in the past and how they've been friends for a long time and then how Wrath has betrayed them

And the "Lady Friend" is Asher, the wolf.

"Unless I get in the way. So I'll say, hello brother. There are things in my heart only you can see..there's no other soul on Earth who knows you like me..i wanna be free of you but I need you, a fate that I hate but I have to accept"

Is Wrath realizing they need Lust but it just makes their anger grow so they begin forming their evil master plan

Just some Lil thoughts 👀

Oh my gods this is so in depth!!

But the only thing that confuses me is you mention Lust having blackmailed Wrath?? And that just confused me, like a lot.

But I love this concept

The World Beyond The Woods: A Conspiracy Theory

There is a conspiracy in Sofia’s WIP. She’s lying to all of you, and I would like to set the record straight. Spoilers ahead for a novel that isn’t even released to the public yet.

Now, you might be asking: How do you think you’re even the smallest bit qualified to answer questions about Sofia’s book? Well, I know a lot about TWBTW. Sofia and I met over her first draft two and a half years ago, and I’ve gotten to know a lot about Asher, Will (who originally had white-blonde hair instead of dark hair), Alex (originally her self insert but has since become much more mean than Sofia is), Scarlett, Chrona, and all the rest. I’d consider myself a Ser expert in particular, as I wrote a full 11k word short set in the angel world for her birthday last year. Sometimes, I feel like I know more about Ser culture than Sofia does. She doesn’t care much about the angels.

Also, I’ve read two drafts of TWBTW. I say that’s a pretty major qualification. I think I might be the only person to have read it. 

Well, Sofia and I were talking today about conspiracy theories we leave in our writing. They’re crumbs of an idea that we won’t really develop. For example: In my current project the life changing moment that begins the plot could have easily been misinterpreted by the protagonist. Therefore, everything bad that happens to him is all his fault. 

Well, Sofia admitted that she had a conspiracy theory about Will in particular. She told me what it is, but I’m not going to tell you that. Instead, I’m going to tell you my own theory. My theory is more believable than hers in all honesty. It’s a high quality theory, I hope you enjoy.

Asher is not Will’s brother. He’s actually Will’s Dad.

Okay, I know this sounds crazy. Hear me out though. Will’s never mentions a pre-Asher past. The first moments he has is meeting Asher. What was happening before that? Sofia doesn’t want us to know that. She’s hiding that from us.

Asher and Will have to explain that they’re not actually brothers, everybody assumes they’re related by blood because they have an almost familial resemblance. They’re a similarity between them, even the face claims Sofia chose look like relatives. Why would two dream demons (the only two in her book, they’re particularly rare) who are not related at all have such similarities? Sofia is lying to us, she must be lying. 

“So they’re biological brothers then,” You’re telling me. Alas, I cannot believe that. Asher is MUCH older than he claims, and his parents have been dead for longer than Will has ever been alive. That practically eliminates any possibility of Asher having any siblings (Although Sofia considered including a biological sister of Asher’s at some point. She was going to betray him and work for Chrona). Asher has lived a long time, and there’s a pretty good chance he at some point could’ve had a child.

Next, let’s think about Asher. He is a total mess, and he’d be a terrible father. He’s hardly a good friend. He knows it. So does it seem so far fetched that if he were to have a child, he would abandon it? Like, he can hardly handle taking care of himself without dying. He couldn’t handle a young child while also leading a rebellion and/or living as a slave under Chrona.

Finally, Asher treats Will more like a child than as a peer. From Asher’s overprotectiveness from literally the beginning of their relationship, to gambling his safety for the safety of everyone else in the demon world. This isn’t just brotherly love, as it would’ve grown over time. Asher must have had some relationship with Will before to have this affection so soon. Like… Asher feeling regrets and trying to find his illegitimate son.

So Sofia, I know your secrets. I know your evil plans. The people deserve better Sofia, and I am going to provide that to them. My only question is: Who’s the mother?
