I don't think it's erasing Chris' autonomy to expect the show to address both his understandable anger with Eddie and the possibility that his grandparents are exploiting that anger for their own ends. Their desire to keep Chris in El Paso, with or without Eddie, has been a source of conflict from the very beginning. It would honestly be a completely bananas narrative choice to ignore that entirely.

Not for nothing, Helena's behaviour towards Eddie during the call was a big flashing light that something is not right. In particular, her offhand comment about putting a pool in for Christopher, along with Eddie's reaction to it, tells us two super important things:

She intends Chris to stay with her for the long term, maybe permanently, to the point of basing major financial commitments and lifestyle decisions on it

She has not discussed this intention with Eddie and she doesn't feel like she needs his input

It's SHADY. The absolute best faith interpretation is that she was being thoughtless to the point of cruelty for bringing it up in such a casual way, focused so much on her joy at having Chris with her that she's oblivious to Eddie's feelings. I mean, compare Chimney's much less egregious comment, "I've got two kids at home." He immediately realises how this might be hurtful to Hen, and corrects himself to emphasise that it's only temporary and Mara will be back with Hen soon. Helena could have added that a pool would be a great reason for them to come and visit, once Christopher is back home with Eddie, but she didn't and I think we are meant to understand that this is not how she's thinking of it.

CW// Major Character Death

How are we doing fam!?

I'm doing great thanks 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 But seriously though thank you @somerandomdudelmao for your amazing apocalypse series. Truly crushing all of us.

[words-etched-in-her-skin]

Sooo 👀 I came across some fanart today that featured Alcina slicing open the front of a servants uniform and, well.. this is what came to mind 👀 (and yes, ahem, Reader is Sasha in this 😂) Anywayss... A little Halloween treat for you all 🎃✨

***

You felt your breath leave your body the moment your back hit the wall, Alcina's large frame boxing you in.

"Did you really think you could dress like that all evening and there not be any consequences when we got home? Hm?"

You swallowed as her sharp claws traced up your neck, stopping only slightly to lift your chin a little higher. Though, you couldn't help but smirk.

"What? Not to your liking, my lady?"

At this you got a subtle click of her tongue, her eyes raking over you. Her warm breath across your ear as she moved in a little closer.

"Mh.. I think you know the answer to that. Pet. Though, I don't think Miranda appreciated your choice."

Even with the tips of her claws close enough to rip through your skin at any second, you chuckled. And yes, the Lady had told you to dress for the occasion - albeit a Halloween masquerade ball - but you had had other things in mind, with every piece of your attire chosen specifically for the evening ahead.

The metal collar she gifted you.. her favorite corset.. a teal silk scarf you wore only once for a painting - even the dress pants you wore - everything on your body was purchased by her... at one point or another. You had even made sure to wear your hair exactly how she liked it. And when her moment of surprise finally passed and a single eyebrow raised, the Countess simply asked you.

"And just what are we supposed to be, pet?"

You smirked, of course, giving her a single word.

"Yours."

And now she had you exactly where she wanted you, pressed against a wall and completely at her mercy.

"Y-yes, well.. I didn't wear it for her, my lady."

A tender kiss to your neck.

"Indulgent little thing."

You could almost feel every inch of you being set ablaze - every part of you yearning for her. For her touch, for her control. With a single claw toying at the lacing of your corset - her hand coming down in a dominant fury, slashing down the front of it with such force the corset almost completely fell from your body. A flush of satin against the heated skin of your torso as Alcina leaned back in, her large fingers caressing over your flesh as they made their way down. Stopping just short of the hem of your pants.

"Is this what you want, my sweet? Is this what you desire?"

You whimpered and her body pressed even firmer into you.

"Answer me, pet."

"Y-yes. Please."

She hummed in such content that it rolled across your body and landed in your core. Your lips slightly parting when the pressure of her finger found your clit, circling over it.

"Mmph.. th-thank you, mistress."

She growled from above you, practically slamming your back against the wall as she lifted you and ripped your pants from your body. The width of her finger forced into you with a stretch - causing you to cry out. Her lips crashing into yours - in heated want - in untamed need. Your desire quickly coating her fingers with each desperate thrust, with each sweep of her tongue over your own.

And you knew you wouldn't last long, not with the tempo she kept nor the velocity with which she fucked you. Your body nothing more than a toy to be used. Than a panting mess against her large frame as she pushed you closer and closer to the edge. Your head now swimming, body heated. A charge of pleasure so strong that when it surged across your body every part of you jerked - shuddered - your inner thighs completely drenched in your arousal.

The Lady's finger only slowed for but a moment, allowing you just long enough to catch your breath before you were completely nude and thrown onto her bed. With A look of desire in her eyes that only told you she had no plans of being done with you anytime soon.

Look, I know they’re shorts and not necessarily canon-

But goddamnit, Mateo is in the art closet and doesn’t even know it.

Like- yes, the most straight thing in the world: drawing your “best friend” fanboying over you and calling you hot.

Historians would call them close friends.

How am I supposed to go out into the world and attempt to date, knowing that John Price is a figment of our imaginations and not real. What is even the point

[the-chaotic-snek]

do i love physics yes, does it make me cry, also yes. Call that Toxic relationship

...see, I like my other two backstories for Carmilla, but like. The angst if I go with the 'also a fallen angel' idea for my Vaggie Carmine au-

It makes me sad so many people think shadowpeach interactions are fan service. Their relationship (platonic or romantic) is so important to me and so important to the fabric of the show

Saying something is fan service as a complaint/criticism confuses me more than anything. Like, what defines "fan service"—what fans want to see? I know what I want out of my shows is very different from what others want. Is something still fan service even if it was set up and developed appropriately? I think that's just good writing. I think that's just writers service.

Now, I've not watched all of s5, but based off of the first two episodes shadowpeach's current relationship tracks. They're still downright mean to each other (ilu 5x01 argument), but they're willing to have kinda-sorta civil conversations and their jabs are far less cruel. Macaque, like usual, is so down bad and insane. Wukong kinda implied he trusted Macaque, and then Macaque responded in kind by sacrificing himself. He slept in their fucking beach tree. He's such a loser.

And it's like...at some point their relationship had to develop, you know. It was always going to go this direction and we spent 4 seasons getting here. We love the 3 way monkey foil that connects everything together.

I’m glad we saw laena again in a cunty off the shoulder dress, as was her wont

Drawing the messiest sketches is actually so good for my brain

I think it's weird people are talking about those who died didn't have enough "will to live."

Look, sometimes in life you make it because others are helping you. Sometimes you make it because you're strong, or smart, or skilled. Sometimes you make it just because you're lucky. And sometimes no matter how much the odds are stacked in your favor, there's nothing you can do.

Death does not discriminate. Just because we saw more of the main characters doesn't mean anyone else in the story had a lesser will to live. S1 there was a guy who was fighting to get back to his wife and baby. To think he had less of a will to live than Arisu, who was suffering from survivor's guilt and trying to decide if he even deserved to live? Super weird take.

The whole point is to live life to the fullest, because tomorrow is never promised. No matter how badly you want it to be.

Would you rather have the best armour possible, built to your exact preferences in both function and aesthetics, which will last your whole lifetime and beyond if maintained well but every weapon you wield will be a mass-produced average quality gear at best, or vice versa?

Oh I'd take the armor 100%

Partly because I'm a dramatic fashionista at heart, and partly because honestly, I have sparred with shitty weapons and I have sparred with really nice ones, and like, while there is a difference in how they feel it's relatively manageable either way

But like, when it comes to armor if it feels off even a little it becomes tortuous to me very quickly tbh

For example the gorget I have at home isn't sized right and it just digs right into my collarbone, it's super uncomfortable and I can't wear it for very long because of that

But like, I spar with cheap shitty weapons all the time, that one's no big deal to me lmao

... Though credit where it's due, in terms of average quality mass produced armor I will say the Almain rivet is honestly a design I like a lot tbh

I think the two people who know this book exists would be interested to know that Charm canonically uses "it/its" pronouns.

This came up when Clare and I were talking and I'd called Charm "she", to which Clare replied with something to the effect of: "oh, it's interesting how you call Charm a she, because it's seen too much nonsense on both ends to want anything to do with gender."

And I think that's very based.
