7:30, ha sonado la alarma Yo con ganas de estar en la cama Pero no se puede Llevo a los niño' a las nueve El mismo café, la misma cocina Lo mismo de siempre, la misma rutina Otro día de mierda Otro día en la oficina.

(7:30 the alarm has sounded I want to be in the bed but you can't I take the kids at 9 the same coffee, the same kitchen the same always, the same routine another shitty day, another day at the office)

She sighs as she was ready to give up she had asked Annabeth for help but she had let her down gently by saying ' Sorry.. I promised Mr d I'd help him today'. So she asked Grover and he had told her ' Sorry.. I told Juniper I would hang out with her today.. I haven't been able to hang out with my girlfriend since I was trying to find Pan to prove I was right..'

She drags her feet she stopped to ask Percy " hey can you help me.. Uh build um.. A Lego flower set?... " Percy who was helping a little kid practice with a sword " oh! Hi!.. Um.. After I'm done helping this kid " he smiles sheepish. Which would take up to hours before he finished she sighs and nodded "alright "

She kept walking looking down. It was like no one had time to do something so small with her. Until she heard behind her " what's got you so down? " she turned around to be face to face with the boy who's barely there at camp who people know him as the loner boy with only a few friends she sighs " it's nothing " he rolls his eyes " It's Something if it's bothering you that bad" Nico shoved his hands into his pockets

Tengo un jefe de mierda que no me paga bien Yo llego caminando y él en Mercedes-Benz Me tiene de recluta El muy hijo de puta, yeah.

( I have a shitty boss who doesn't pay me well, I arrive walking and he Mercedes Benz, he has me. As a recruit, The son of a bitch, yeah)

Estás soñando con irte del barrio Tienes todo pa' ser millonario Gustos caros, la mentalidad Solo te falta el salario.

( You are dreaming of leaving the neighborhood, you have to be a millionaire, expensive tastes, mentality, you only need the salary)

Nico grabbed the little clear shell like Lego snapping it on the other Lego he was careful as he does so ".. " a for minutes go by ".. So uh.. How is.. Yours and uh.. What's his name?.. " "who? " she asked

" the boy who.. Controls water.. Uh.. The son of p-" " Percy? " she cuts Nico off and he nodded causing his Raven hair covers his eyes " yes "

"Ohh.. We aren't dating" she laughs Nico looks shocked at this news " oh?.. But every Aphrodite kid thinks you two are perfect for each other "

She snorted " a boy who controls water and a girl who can manipulate and create flowers " she laughs ".. I don't see it to be honest" Nico said She shrugged " eh I don't either "

Se acumulan las facturas, ser pobre es una basura Mamá siempre me decía que estudiar todo asegura Estudié y nada pasó, maldita vida tan dura Trabajo más que un cabrón, pero follo menos que un cura Qué ironía, qué locura, esto sí, es una tortura Te matas de sol a sol y no tienes ni una escritura Dicen por ahí que no hay mal que más de cien años dura Pero ahí sigue mi ex-suegro que no pisa sepultura.

Tengo un jefe de mierda que no me paga bien Yo llego caminando y él en Mercedes-Benz Me tiene de recluta (te tienen de recluta) El muy hijo de puta (el muy hijo de puta)

( Bills accumulate being poor is rubbish mom always told me that studying everything ensures I studied and nothing happened damm hard life, I work harder than a bastard but I fuck less than a priest, how ironic, how crazy this is torture you kill yourself from dawn to dusk and no you don't even have a writing they say there is no evil that last more than a hundred years but my ex-father-in-law is still there that does not step on a grave)

She sighs after two hours they finally finished the cute Lego flowers sat on the coffee table in the cabin her hands hurting so is his " this is worth the pain " she said with a stupid grin being held proudly on her face making the Raven hair boy laugh his first actual laugh

Tengo un jefe de mierda que no me paga bien Yo llego caminando y él en Mercedes-Benz Me tiene de recluta (te tienen de recluta) El muy hijo de puta (el muy hijo de puta).

( I have a shitty boss who doesn't it pay me well, I arrive walking and he in Mercedes-Benz he has me as a recruit (he has me as a recruit ) the very son of a bitch (the very son of a bitch) )

Estás soñando con irte del barrio Tienes todo pa' ser millonario Gustos caros, la mentalidad Solo te falta el salario.

( You are dreaming of leaving neighborhood, you have everything to be a millionaire Expensive tastes, mentality you only need the salary)

She held her hand up for a high five and he laughs before giving her a week high five " you could do better then that " she teased he rolls his eyes and gave her another high five this time a little more stronger she grins " yeah "

Tienes un jefe de mierda que no te paga bien Tú llegas caminando y él en Mercedes-Benz Te tiene de recluta el muy hijo de p- 'Toy soñando con irme del barrio Tengo todo pa' ser millonario Gustos caros, la mentalidad Solo me falta el salario Lili Melgar Para ti esta canción, que no te pagaron la indemnización Otro pedo, como siempre, a la ve-

( you have a shitty boss who doesn't pay you well, you arrive walking and he in Mercedes-Benz, he has me as a recruit the very son of a p-)

As they laugh the door to the Demeter's cabin open and Percy looks at the two " oh??. " he ran his hand through his Raven hair that was wet both Nico and her look at each other before laughing she asked Percy " did you fall into the pond or something " he grins " no.. I slipped and fall in the water " they all laugh together

Estás soñando con irte del barrio Tienes todo pa' ser millonario Gustos caros, la mentalidad Solo me falta el salario.

( toy dreaming of leaving neighborhood, I have everything to be a millionaire Expensive tastes, Mentality I only need the salary)

How many mangas you have on your collection?

Hmmm, it's probs easier for me to rattle it off lol

I have:

Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt

Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt

The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

The Leopard Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas (which is split into two volumes)

It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas

Seduce Me at Sunrise by Lisa Kleypas

Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas

The Pirate Prince by Gaelen Foley

Princess by Gaelen Foley

Prince Charming by Gaelen Foley

Shadowheart by Laura Kinsale

Soooo I guess if you split Dreaming of You into two I have 14? With.... 5 more on their way..... I struggle with impulse control and love collecting romance stuff, oops.

And not that you asked, but if I had to rank them in terms of quality....

Married by Morning. Definitely edits the story a good bit (they all do) but it's one of the sexier~ ones and the only one I have with like, a couple of full color pages. I have no idea why, but they're BEAUTIFUL.

Princess. Does an amazing job of capturing the incredible insanity of Darius and Serafina. Darius's hair is PERFECT. PERFECT. Maybe the hottest design tbh. Also one of the sexier ones! They did Daddy Lazar dirty tho.

Devil in Winter. Manga Sebastian is... pretty much exactly how I imagine Sebastian... So...

Dreaming of You. Beautifully dramatic Derek, love that it's two parts, Sara's design is perfection, the wintery vibes are *chef's kiss*

Scandalous Desires. Ponytail aside, the Mickey design is otherwise flawless, nails the snark, you can feel the like... chemistry? In the art? If that makes sense? Super well. And the baby is adorbs. Also! WINTER IS HERE! SO IS ASA! THEY'RE SEXY! I wish we'd gotten their books. :/

Shadowheart. Absolutely stunniiiiiing design. This has some pretty significant deviations (I mean, not surprised, but it goes beyond what you'd imagine they'd have to edit for Shadowheart) but Allegreto is PERFECT designwise and you get a lot of heavy villain vibes. The manga books are great for villain content.

It Happened One Autumn. Westcliff is constantly SWEATING in this one, which I find personally... hilarious. And accurate. Shockingly, they did NOT edit out the thing Lisa edited out of this book. It's pretty great.

Seduce Me at Sunrise. I mean, I think this manga for sure has its design issues with Cam and Kev, but tbh, they.... mirror Lisa's general issues with Cam and Kev. Love Win's design, love the kidnapping sequence, wish it was a bit sexier like MbM, but tbh it's overall really fun. And the baaaaaby stuff in the end is so cute.

The Leopard Prince. This is probably the most explicit one, and I think it captures Harry Pye's "... Oh.... no......" lust around Georgina really well. Very good.

The Raven Prince. Very much condensed lol, like very, but still gets a good handle on the story. And the Aphrodite's grotto drawing is... priceless

Prince Charming. This one has some real fun designs for the heroine's body (how.... can she possibly pass for a mysterious robber with those things bouncing around). That said, the scene where he pins her to the ground because he thinks she's the masked robber and there's TENSION is SO. PERFECT. FOR A ROMANCE NOVEL.

Wicked Intentions. Lol I love this one in a lot of ways, but I also find Temperance's design... artistically good but distractingly modern. The bangs! Caire's design is fun but not very sexy to me.

The Pirate Prince. I... HAVE.... SO MANY ISSUES.... Allegra looks like a child, it's not great, I'm honestly bummed that such a wild bodice ripper has such a subpar design. And it's kinda insane because Princess and Prince Charming look nOTHING like it.

A Dove among Ravens

Aka I redesigned Dove Grayson, my old Magnus Chase oc!! His name is now Nastasiya, and he is still the son of Aphrodite, but is no longer the grandchild of loki. Also, ive never posted about him before, so heres a long ass list of all my notes about him!! Content warning for a very weird death, this is the riordanverse we’re talking about.

Full Name: Nastasiya Grayson

Gender: FtM

Family: [Mother] Aphrodite | [Father] George Grayson

Age: 16

Species: Demigod of Aphrodite

Affiliation: Valhalla

Residence: Floor 19

Weapons: Chain sword - A sword that, when you hit a button on the hilt, turns into a chain-bladed whip. Becomes a rose gold chain necklace when glamored. Designed by a hephaestus kid.

Status: Einherjar

----------

History: Nastasiya is the demigod son of the goddess Aphrodite and George Grayson, a passionate historian whose adventures took him across the globe. After being sent to camp half-blood two years prior, Nastasiya was killed at sixteen trying to defend a group of schoolchildren from a nemean lion, which had been mistakenly placed in a zoo.

Fatal Flaw: Pride

Physical Appearance: Nastasiya has fiery red hair, which cascades around his neck in soft ringlet curls. His eyes seem to shift in color with an almost magical quality, adding an air of mystery to his gaze and always matching his outfit. His soft skin is slightly tanned, and he’s absolutely covered in freckles. He wears a lot of light colors- whites, pinks, and beiges mostly. A rose gold chain, which becomes his sword when needed, is a consistent accessory, as rose gold is the only metal he incorporates into his style. He takes pride in his large hooked nose and is often seen sporting round rose gold glasses.

Personality: He possesses a flair for the dramatic, embodying the very essence of his mother’s aesthetic- Roses, Flowing silk, pearls, and perfection. His taste for the finer things in life is evident in everything he does. Like his father, Nastasiya is a romantic at heart; he often finds himself lost in poetic thoughts, expressing himself with an extensive vocabulary that captivates those around him.

----------

General Abilities: Poetry, Strange knack for identifying perfumes and colognes, Able to lie very well and can tell when other people are lying, never messes up nail polish when applying it, The god of vibe reading, Master of comebacks and witty remarks, Able to speak fluent french, Always gives the best advice he can (When he’s not hissing and telling people to kill their abusers)

Demigod Powers: Charmspeak, Emotion reading, Amokinesis, Communication with Aphrodite’s sacred animals (Doves, Sparrows, Swans, Dolphins), (After death) Blessing of Aphrodite (Never has to worry about his looks ever because favoritism), [He’s supposed to be more powerful than your average aphrodite kid because he’s kind of the favorite]

----------

CONCEPT: The first Greek demigod to enter Valhalla (That we know of). Idk i figured greek demigods die in battle all the time, why not consider if one of them was found by a valkyrie? Besides, it's not like demigods of aphrodite and demigods of freyja are all that different. My idea is that the runes misidentify his vibes as freyja vibes but he’s all like “Uh, that doesn’t sound right; I know my mom is Aphrodite.” Cue cup dropping because Greek demigods in valhalla?? Unheard of before now!

SUITE: The room has a table in the center and a circular bed in one corner, with a lace and pearl canopy curtain hanging around it and gorgeous plush blankets. There’s a tv stand on the side of the room opposite the bed, and a wall of books near the bed. One large, circular window sits at the back wall. It has two latches at the center, and curtains in the same style as the canopy bed. A picture frame sat on the window sill. The picture is of Nastasiya, Aphrodite, and George at seaworld for Nastasiya’s twelfth birthday - the only time Aphrodite ever visited. Next to the picture frame is a bag of pearlescent pink runes. The room is lit by candlelight, and the wall directly behind the bed has all the posters from his bunk at camp half blood, as well as a “Cabin 10” poster.

#my art #writing #my oc #oc: Nastasiya Grayson #oc: Nastasiya #riordanverse #rick riordanverse #rick riordan #pjo oc #mcga #mcga oc #magnus chase oc #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #Is it obvious mcga is my favorite of the serieses.#this character sheet style was inspired by the gorgeous way filibusterfrog does character sheets #long post

Changing Shadows

A Percy Jackson/Olympians AU blurb

The first time she came across him, he didn't even bat an eyelash at her. Paying her no mind and instead checking his chocolate brown locks in the reflection of the lake, like all of his vain brothers and sisters.

As was customary of a child of Aphrodite.

They were walking beings of gorgeous perfection. They had some of the campers hanging off their every word and wound around their perfectly manicured nails. Even though most were immune to their natural goddess given charm and could see them for the vain and self obsessed creatures they were.

Silently, Percy wished that Bo had continued to pay her no mind. Unfortunately that's not what her father had in mind.

It was a regularly sunny day at Camp Halfblood. Kids were climbing the rockwall, satyrs were playing their reed pipes for the strawberries, Mr. D and Chiron were playing Pinochle on the porch of the Big House.

Percy was enjoying the shade under a large tree. She preferred darkened areas when it was sunny. All that sun made her irritable and gave her a headache. The Halfblood girl watched as her friends Darrell and Max were sparring casually while Ellie was listening to Ava play her guitar outside.

The calm was shattered however when a massive BARK! was heard. Heads shot up and activities ceased. More noises, the screams of wooded niyads and forest spirits ran out of the forest followed by a large hellhound from Hades that had bounded out of the woods. Fire drooling from its maw, trails of fire left in its wake with every step of its massive lion sized paws. This creature smelled like fresh dirt and corpses. A skeleton lazily had gotten caught on the spiked leather collar hanging around its large furry neck.

Kids yelled for archers and the Ares cabin took up their arms. The large shaggy hellbeast began charging straight at Darrell only to leap over the blonde and keep going, paws churning up soil.

Right for Percy.

The dark haired girl stood up, transfixed at the beast headed straight for her, unable to hear her campmates scream at her to get out of the way.

"BUBBAS?!" She asked incredulously.

The Newfoundland looking Hellhound charged at the poor girl, tackling her, Percy writhed and shrieked under the large mass of Raven colored fur. Darrell stopped short when that shrieking turned to laughter.

"Bubba! It's you! It's really you!!"

The Ares boy watched as the monster licked her face, the crowd growing around her and the canine. Chiron making his way to the middle. "Percy are you alright?" The centaur asked, his front legs kneeling.

The girl sat up, her glasses askew, hair messed up and face covered in dog saliva. A large smile split the little girl's face like Darrell had never seen on her.

"Bubba is my friend! I've known him since he was just a puppy. He was only a stray but everywhere I went he found me again and now he's here! He's gotten so big! Where'd you come from boy? Must've been awful far..."

Chiron grimaced, he and Darrell shared a worried glance.

"Sissy," the southerner took a knee. "You said this dog's been followin' you?"

Percy nodded, arms wrapping around the Hellhound's large furry neck as it panted, tail wagging.

"I don't know why, I just took a liking to him and he likes me. He was the only friend I've had. Is there something wrong, Chiron?"

The crowd's eyes fixed on something just shimmering above Percy's head: a Greek key. The symbol of Hades.

The entire camp knelt as Bubba nosed the young girl to her feet.

"Hail Persephone Jones, Daughter of Hades, Lord of the Underworld, The Silent One."

OO i love this!!

ok so for Lizzie i think i’d put her as a daughter of Athena. Imo it fits the most bc she’s a fashion designer and Athena’s the goddess of crafts, and her being destined to be the queen of hearts rlly tracks w being the daughter of a war goddess lmao (off w their heads indeed) Also Athena being a patron of the capital and Lizzie being a future queen just makes sense to me i’ll elaborate if asked tho

for Maddie i love her dad too much to get rid of him but if he was a god in this universe that would be cool. dionysus definitely fits for her tho inspired choice op

as for Kitty i feel like she’d either be a child of hermes’ (trickery and theft + him being the god of travel goes nicely w her teleportation) or eris (if following the parents becoming the godly parents)

ik other ppl have pointed it out in the notes but for cupid i’d just keep her canonical dad of eros. since she was adopted instead of her being a demigod maybe he could be her patron or she’d be in his cult? idk but it would be interesting to explore

the charming’s are 100% children of aphrodite in my mind no question. they’re always seen for their reputation of perfection and beauty first, humanity second. also it’s perfect for Darling w Aphrodite being commonly forgotten as a war goddess. she could remind ppl of that side of her mom!

i feel like melody would probably be the daughter of a muse instead of Apollo himself just cause he’s got a lot of domain i don’t think she’d care abt

i feel like maid marian would be a follower of Artemis. not one of her hunters but like a general worshipper yk

as for briar, i could see her as the kid of a few different gods. i’m gonna go w hypnos tho, just cause of her destiny

faybelle as a daughter of nemesis is absolutely perfect

for rosabella honestly i think she’d be a follower of Pan, just cause she’s so into animal rights. that or she’d be a satyr, to go w her being “half beast” which would still make her a follower of pan so it works either way ig 🤷

ashlynn is tricky for me. i feel like i could see her as a daughter of demeter? just bc she loves the forest so much. but honestly idk she’s so hard to put in a category for me idk why

hunter would definitely be a follower of artemis it’s so perfect for him

and now for the main characters

honestly, with the size and importance of their stories i feel like raven and apple would be children of pantheon gods.

apple i see as a child of zeus. like her having a “perfect” parent that everyone loves and is the most well known all over to be worshipped and loved… yeah.

as for raven, well. everyone thinks she’s evil when she’s not that bad? ppl judge her before getting to know her? she wears black and purple constantly? child of hades, 10000000% i could never picture another parent for her it’s so perfect. the fact that he’s the god of the dead and wealth to is so >>>> for her character w her mother it would work perfectly.

Here’s me giving EAH characters godly parents cause I’m bored

Darling: Aphrodite

Apple: Nike

Maddie Hatter, Lizzie Hearts, Kitty Cheshire: Dionysus

C.A Cupid: Aphrodite??

Faybelle: Nemesis??

Melody Piper: Apollo

Thoughts🤯🤯

#hoping and praying this didn’t come off as rude cause i love the og picks i just got excited lol #also can u tell my favourites from the picks 😭#anyway this was so fun! sry for leaving a rant in ur notes op #eah #ever after high

So I have written one song in my life that has been performed (in a show I toured) and I still love it. It opened a solo show called Aphrodite's Turn that I toured almost 20 years ago to mixed reviews (and seriously I got excellent reviews and really really hating reviews and rereading it I see why) about a Fat Lady from a side show... the beginning was not the character though... it was the narrator... and here's the song... and then the weird prose that follows it...and heck...I will throw in the rest of the show...I warn you it is a fever dream...but I think you could imagine Kristen Vangness or Penelope performing it. They are both taller and not as fat as me - but I think either of them would make it something I never was able to... And I did reasonably well.

Content warnings: Freakshow performers, racism and homophobia (both called out but still heartbreaking), prostitution, abuse, idiot savant character, sex descriptions, mashed up myth, sappiness, poetry, fever dream like storytelling. Sapphic love (unrequited? Definately heartbreaking); straight love. Brief child death mention. Alcohol. Hope. Selling Children.

Ps - this came out around the time of Carnivale and has those vibes - but I have never watched the series. There was also a book out which was similar which I skimmed at my last stop of the tour. But any similarities were more the fact that sideshows were what they were and modern takes on them are what they are.

Enjoy? 🤷🏼‍♀️. The plays running time was about 45 mins...so about 16 pages with lots of space?

APHRODITE’S TURN

by me, originally performed by me, directed and dramaturgy by my mother (!)

(1)

Sound of ocean rollers on a beach. THE WOMAN enters costumed as THE FAT LADY in a baby doll dress which shows a lot of bosom. The actor should not be padded. She is made to seem bigger if required by providing scaled down set pieces. THE WOMAN allows the audience to gaze at her body and frankly returns the gaze. Sound of ocean rollers fading. Sound of train whistle fading.

(SINGING)

If you really think about it

The first circus train was really a ship

Razorbacks loading them two by two

As Medusa and the unicorns wept

(SPOKEN)

Are you one who dreams of the Razorbacks? Razorbacks: Circus Men.

Roustabouts loading cages and wagons onto the backs of circus trains? So do you dream of the ones who loaded the trains? The Razorbacks? Sweating and straining, hands calloused and filthy. Building their appetites for late night boozy suppers and for someone's cushy body. A Dream of Men. Working men all around you. Men. A gang of deep Razorback voices in the darkness and the soot.

Razorbacks singing the gospel of the Stowaways:

(SINGING)

Snuck on board in the belly of the ship

Were the fat, the ugly, and the disfigured

The magical, the mythical, and misunderstood

All because of a single love

(SPOKEN)

Sound familiar? You are not alone. (Smile) There are more of us who dream of the Razorbacks than you might think. And we’ve all learned their song…

(SINGING)

With one of Noah’s less than perfect ones

One of the razorbacks was in love

So he made a pact with the Raven and Dove

To ensure the Stowaways’ safety

(SPOKEN)

A fine dream, a soothing dream…Strong-armed men rescuing the weak and unwanted…So comforting….so much love…

(2)

Severe shift: what’s bothering her comes to the surface despite trying to keep it down.

But then the horror begins. You realise that you are trapped inside one of the cages. You are being hoisted onto the circus train, because you are the Razorback’s familiar nightly load. And it haunts you that, without the Razorbacks, you would have been left behind during the flood. Left behind with the ‘less than perfect ones’. For who is ‘perfect?’

(3)

She shudders, and then takes hold of herself.

Last night the dream changed.

The Razorbacks’ song was still in my ears, but their hard sweating bodies were gone.

And I dreamed….I dreamed…

(4)

Sound of chimes.

I dream.

I am standing–naked–on a giant silver ball.

The giant silver ball is floating on a discharge of hot air. I lean over slightly so that I can gaze down, past my -naked- belly into the space between my feet. I gaze down into how the flesh of my thighs protects my center and how my belly rounds out the picture. Perfect curvature of my fleshy self. Grounded not a profile. An expanse of -naked- truth reflected on the silver sphere beneath my feet.

Gradually, my fleshy reflection flattens into a sepia circus yard. It's June [July, August, September - based on month of performance] 1934. And amid the budding tents, cages, and wagons I see the Fat Lady. The humongous, gi-normous Fat Lady.

And the Fat Lady is running across the sepia circus yard.

Running?

She’s Running?

She is RUNNING!

(PAUSE to watch, and, then, to the audience: )

She moves fast for a big lady.

(PAUSE - then she starts to sing again)

Snuck on board in the belly of that ship

Were the fat, the ugly, and the disfigured

The magical, the mythical, and misunderstood

All because of a single love

(6)

As she sings the woman slips behind the tent curtain. starts to accompany her voice; once she disappears, the music morphs from mythical folkish into a crescendo-ing rendition of the mythical circus song. Song stops abruptly. A second of silence.

The Fat Lady bursts into the room through the canvas flap (same actor new character). She is frantic. Her eyes open wide, then in a final attempt to make herself invisible, she huddles her bulk into herself, and squeezes her eyes shut.

A recorded voice, kind, slightly reverberating, comes from behind the flap.

MAN: (coaxing) Darlin’? You li’l cock tease! Com’on my darlin’ woman…? Y’know Lenny sent me. Darlin’?

FAT LADY:

Not tonight! It ain’t proper no more.

Don’t care what Lenny said!

It ain’t proper now.

Don’t care if you are looking oh so kind tonight. Just like you know I like ya best with straight teeth and them soft whiskers all around a smilin’ mouth…

Just because you wore them eyes tonight…

Them eyes…

the kind ones…

Dear Lord on a Toothpick do I ever love those eyes.

Funny. Last time you wore them in brown but tonight they are the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. Can’t believe I didn’t tell you how nicely them kind eyes suit, last time you wore ‘em. I’d kick myself - if I could bend that way. Figure me not saying anything that night is the reason that you never wore them again. But we were having such a grand time…you actually wanted to chat, and your arms - so strong - covered with that beautiful curly hair - those arms felt so much gentler than the arms you sometimes wear - I didn’t even care that your right hand didn’t work that night. After all- everything else worked just hunky-o-dory… (lighter than later) -push, push, push- Remember I tried to tell ya how great you had been the next night but your kind eyes were gone. And, instead of bein’ brown they were all yella and bloodshot… and when I started talkin’ you shut me up with a good smack in the mouth. Lenny was so mad remember? And Celia had to hold that raw steak to my jaw all night.

(7)

Remember, I told you about Celia? Celia, my best friend? (Fondly) You hardly ever remember anything do ya? She’s the “Hottentot” of the show but when we’re “off” you hardly notice she’s a darkie at all! She really is the most ‘refined” person I’ve ever met in Show Biz. Sticks out her pinkie when she drinks her tea out of the tin mugs. Always wipes the jelly off the sides of her mouth and I have never heard her curse or belch. Like I said…VERY refined. At least as long as she’s not in front of Lenny. He don’t like her “fancy manners” says she’s “playing white”. Then he cuffs her and says that she just proved that she’s the ape that folks see - cuz that’s all she can do - ape white folks. Celia always cries when Lenny says that.

But I take her in my arms and I rock her and rock her. Her snake hair, rows and rows of tight braids, tickles my chin when I tilt my head to kiss her.

Her body is soft and padded like mine - her belly presses against my thighs. Her belly balloons - round and tight- like there’s a baby in her - NEVER coming out.

Sometimes, sometimes when I’m holding her, when her snot, tears and hot breath make wet spots on the front of my pinny.

She holds where Celia’s head would be and suddenly it is as if she is really holding Celia.

…I imagine that there really is a baby in your gut…and that the baby is ours, Celia. A pretty little girl - white and black like a milk cow - round and beautiful like us. She has curly, long blond hair. I pretend there is a pink bow in her hair even though she is still INSIDE. I think about how she will slither out from between your thighs -Push, Push, Push - I can feel the push. But yes…yes…she slithers out in a gush…right into my arms. The little piggy girl roots around then

is greedily sucking the sticky milk from my tit. I am feeding our wonderful little girl… (she remembers where she is and who she is really talking to) Hey are you listening? This is my favorite part. She jumps from my arms, all round and in a little blue dress, with little pink chubby legs sticking out from under her skirt, and she does a little bit of soft shoe. Just like mamma. So perfect my little girl and Celia and I love her like we love each other.

(Panicked look) Oh no! I don’t mean that I love Celia like that! (She spits.) No! no! no! You know you’re my man! Listen to me blabbering on like this … (Makes a move to go out) you look so nice tonight oh! Those eyes… whatever am I doing over here when I should be….

Wait! No I can’t. Not tonight. Gotta think of my EVERAFTER.

(8)

See… I’m going to marry Kite. Kite the skeleton man? Lenny said. Told me this morning! (Sing song) Skin and bones. Skin and Bones. Skin and Skinny Skinny bones… Lenny says we gonna get married next month. Next month. Once the press men stop fawnin’ over Jocko’s ‘mazing Side Show Spectacular’s bizness weddin’. Lenny hates Jocko cus he always spits on him and calls him half a man.

Pah! All excited ‘bout that mangy snake lady and that picture show gettin’ hitched. As if a couple dozen snakes or tattoos make you a legit act. Lenny’s sure that the press’ll go boffo once they find out that me an’ his ‘skeleton man’ are tyin’ the knot - after all Kite sure can sing and I sure can dance!

(Sing song) Jack Sprat… (she hums the rest and does a little bit more dancing)

Plus…! (in a tone implying a secret) An’ here’s the good part–: Kite and I are in love! That’s what Lenny says. That’s what Lenny’s tellin’ the press. That’s why we’re getting married. We're IN LOVE! (She hugs herself with delight. Then her face falls.) ‘Course Kite’s wife ain’t too pleased. (Beat.) And (very low) Celia cried when I told her.

(9)

So you see, that’s why I ran away from you tonight. See, married ladies get the world at their feet…so I gotta do this right. I can’t see you this week or next week or the week after. From now on I’m a virgin. (Panicked look) But don’t you worry! You’re still my man! And as soon as I’m married I can see you again.

Just don’t tell Lenny I ran away, k? I told him I can’t see you no more, but he just laughed. Said: “the show must go on” and looked like he wanted to kick me.

Funny look for a man with no legs. Said I’m an ‘artiste’, so he don’t want no complaints from the customers. But I’ve thought about it and even ‘artistes’ should be virgins when they marry. So screw Lenny and his “show must go on!”

I’ve taken a bath and like it or not I ain’t gonna see you no more… You understand right? Right?

You mad? You’re real quiet.

Don’t be mad. “the show must go on.”

(10)

That’s what Lenny always says: “we’re in the biz, and the show must go on.”

Lenny may have no legs but his cock sure works. 50% hands, 50 % heads. Just what you need for the show biz and the love biz a.ha.ha. That’s what Lenny says.

What Lenny says must be true too, cuz does he ever got a lot of bucks and a lot of broads!

He’s the only other man to have poked me, you know? Just you and him. That’s it.

(Suddenly nervous)

He only done it once though - when Dalia had the stomach flu.

(11)

I once saw him and Lily going at it. O! You shoulda seen it! She’s lying on the table, legs over the edge, her sister Dalia -you know, her Siamese twin? -well, Dalia's lying stiff as a board beside Lily, stayin’ as far away as the join between them’ll let her. And Lenny’s holdin’ himself up by his hands, pumpin’ like an oil well. His face is red and his breath is HARSH and -push, push, PUSH- then he falls on her. Lily scoops him up so he don’t slip down ‘tween her thighs onto the floor. Lily says that when she grabs him like that it’s like the baby’s come early - cus he’s just about the right size.

Good story, huh? Up your alley? Not mad anymore?

Still not talking, huh? I don’t want you to be mad. You smiled when you caught me lookin' at you tonight. Smiled like you'd been waiting for me. You ambled over – kissin' me with your eyes – and asked if you could sit with me a while… I… I told you ya had to ask Lenny… an' when you got back…

…you looked so sad when I ran away tonight…dinna expect that…you looked just like Kite did when his baby died last year…

(12)

Dalia don’t want no baby - thinks the whole thing is sick. Says she’s already attached to enough bodies without another one swimming inside her or Lily. So Dalia won’t have nothin’ to do with Lenny an’ Lily. She just lies there beside them, rocking with their movements -eyes squeezed shut - she told me once that she always imagines herself on a boat - rocking on the great blue ocean - wind and sea - seagulls and salt - an organ grinder standing on a spit of sand jutting up from the jetty, grinding a tune that you’ve never heard - so magical and mystical that the Unicorns and Mermaids and Centaurs come out and dance.

Dalia loves Centaurs. Says that they’re half people half animal just like her an’ Lily.

She always talkin’ bout that man - the really wrinkly one with chin like a chicken? The guy who travels with Jocko’s show? Ha! Don’t we always have such laughs when Lenny’s and Jocko’s shows are both in town. You always dress up like Jocko’s strong man - what a scream! Or every once in a while you come lookin’ like Jocko’s kid - all scrawny and monkey like - but with the best jokes.

You never come lookin’ like Dalia’s wrinkly old man though. Don’t know what makes you choose what…you certainly have come lookin’ meaner them him!

Even though I tell ya it ain’t my favorite way… no you’ve done worse then him..

After all, the wrinkly man's always real smart. But he stinks: never changes his clothes but says it’s worth it cuz his whole trunk can be filled with books.

He gave Dalia one of his books 'cuz she loves centaurs so much. See, Dalia an’ Lily were sitting with that old man one day and Dalia told him all about how she dreams of meeting a half-man half-horse. Lily snorted and Dalia tossed her head and said: “that horse snort just proved my point”. The old man laughed and that’s when he gave Dalia one of his books.

(13)

I only know cuz I found it the morning I woke up in Dalia an’ Lily’s bed!

It was after the night where Lenny gave me two big bottles of gin to myself and all those gentlemen sat around yelling and groaning and passing money around each time I filled up my mug. Remember it was the night you didn’t come - ‘less you dressed up like I’ve never seen you before and hid amongst the men, doing that watchin' thing you say you sometimes like to do. Well, I fell asleep and Lenny wanted to use the stage, so he got five Razorbacks to carry me to bed, but they wuz lazy so they only got me as far as Lily and Dalia’s bed.

When I woke up I found the book in the sheets.

(14)

Moment of savoring the memory then switches to complete fear.

I can’t tell you this…. (To herself) I still hopin’ Ma and the Man Upstairs don’t never find out… but maybe if I tell ya…!

(Whispers) Look I gotta secret I can share - so you really believe me that you’re my man! Will that put you in your good mood - let you keep your kind eyes?

See, when I was little, Ma taught me how to …read. She wanted me to read the holy book see… an' I wuz real good too. I could read anything an’ everything we could find…I could even read things she couldn’t! Then, just a week after I turned eleven, the man with the pork pie hat came to our house. Ma took him into the parlour, an' when she came out she was all pink and twirly. She sat me down on the biggest wooden chair in the kitchen an' her eyes got real hard and then she started saying what a lucky girl I was. Saying that the man had heard of my…dancin’ and that I got to go with him so I could dance every day for people.

But then she said that I had to make a big promise or I couldn’t go…and if I didn't go she’d hate me. She said I had to promise that I'd never ever read again! She said I could never ever read again! An' that I was to look away fast if I ever saw writin’ anywhere! She said that if I ever read another word or let anyone know I used to read she’d wollop me with Pa’s belt. An’ if she wasn’t there, the man in the pork pie hat would wollop me. An' if he wasn’t there, the Man Upstairs would make sure I was punished real good.

So, I promised… went with the man in the pork pie hat…and since then I haven’t read a word….

…until I found that book in Dalia’s and Lily’s sheets. At first I was scared…but then I thought…

“Well, Dalia and Lily ain't here, an’ there ain’t even an upstairs in this tent, so how could there be a Man Up There?”, so I figured it was safe enough to…to…read…READ Dalia’s biggest treasure. Story after story of Centaurs and Unicorns and Gorgons…

(15)

She mimes opening a book and gets lost in it.

Sound of Chimes. Sound of Ocean Rollers come in low. She begins to speak very quietly. Sanely.

Once there was a very small island in the middle of a very warm sea. This island was ruled by a young King who was very proud of his people. He was so proud that he would never let a man or a woman who was not born on the island marry any of his subjects. This made the people very proud; so they held all the weddings of the year on a special day in the summer. It was the most beautiful celebration you have ever seen - such a feast - everyone danced and sang - so beautiful with chains of flowers looped around their necks. Soon, they believed that they had the most beautiful weddings - even lovelier than those of the gods.

The gods did not agree and, in particular, Aphrodite became very angry and cursed the island people. Their children began to be born weak and stupid and sick. The king was now a very old man - and he wept to see his people suffering.

He climbed to the top of the cliffs which looked out over the sea and cried out to the goddess “what can I do to save the children of my people? I will do anything.” Aphrodite saw kindness in his eyes and honesty in his heart and took pity on him. ”Build a harbour. Ships will dock in your port each summer carrying my sailors. Welcome them to your shores. And each year before the wedding day send all the maidens about to be married down to the shore to feast, and dance, and lie with my sailors in honour of me.

The next day, wash the brides in the sea and I will give them back their virginity. If you do this, all your people’s children will be blessed - especially those who are born nine months after the maiden's wedding day.” The king was filled with joy. “I will build you a harbour - I will welcome your sailors - and each year I will send our maidens down to the shore.” And the King did as he said he would, and the maidens swelled and laboured and brought forth the loveliest, the most perfect, children in the world…….

(16)

Sound of ocean rollers up, the down and fade. Chimes sound.

The Fat Lady starts out of her storytelling stillness, and closes the book.

Dalia hit me when she caught me with her book. Thought she’d go off looking for a belt next… But then she realized that I wuz READING it and she got all nice! She patted my hand and begged me to whisper her the stories. Whisper to her, so that “her beast” -y’know Lily- wouldn't hear. So I did. I whispered her the whole story about the Centaur.

(17)

I forgot how much a body can love a story…I never shared a story with nobody but Ma before… An' want to know somethin’? I can’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout how nice it would be to share a story with you… Ever since I saw you tonight - doesn’t happen often that I see you first does it? You were just sitting there talkin’ to the childrens - and even though you looked like I’ve never seen, I knew it was you - whittlin’ an’ whistlin’- …yeah I just wanta share a story with you… does that make me bad? (Whisper) maybe Ma was lyin’ 'bout the Man Upstairs?

After all, I’m still dancin’ and nothin bad’s happened to Dalia. She’s still talkin’ bout her centaur and how we’ve only heard of one centaur trawlin’ the circuits.

We’re hoping our shows cross paths soon, so that - as Dalia says- Lily can screw her eyes up tight and think of the ocean. (Laughs with a snort of disbelief.) My job is gonna be to sit on Lily - cuz Dalia swears that her beast ain’t gonna touch her man. An' now, whenever Lily's bragging that she always gets the men - cus she’s the be-u-ti-ful one, Dalia just winks at me and points 'tween the legs of one of the show’s ponies. (Giggles)

Sometimes we sure have fun when you wear your big one, huh?

Though sometimes I sure like your clever little one too…

(18)

She giggles madly then stops abruptly -

the next part starts with a trance like tone.

You still there? You still there behind the door? There’s one more thing I gotta tell you. Something real strange happened tonight. (Beat) George was sober. No kidding! That's the third time he's been sober this week. It’s hard to watch cuz he starts to shake and scratches at the skin around his mouth. Like he’s really really the Rabbit Boy. It’s funny, he’s always liquored up during the show - lookin’ so un-rabbit-like - just a small man with split lip and a furry face. His day to day plastered to him like wet fur - wife, kids, laundry, dinner, too long train rides from town to town…y’know the biz. It’s when he’s sober that people would love to see him.

Then, his eyes start to roll around in his head - like he’s terrified and he talks - yeah I know! George talking?!? But it’s like his tongue gets unhinged when it gets dry and just claques on and on. Blasphemy falls from his lips and his big ears seem to grow before MY eyes with every role of HIS. And he just talks and talks…

(19)

Weird things, ‘perposterous’ things. Like…like…

He says there ain’t nothing special ‘bout Celia. That she ain't no freak and that Lenny don’t have no business showing her off. (Low) An' that there ain't nothing wrong with her lovin' me…

He says that Lenny thought of Lily when he poked me. An' that Dalia ain’t ever going to meet no centaur. Cuz there ain’t no such thing…

An' he says that the Biz is a crime.

He says that some day a flickerin’ black box will be built and it will be more of a crime. Some box thing that will make the rubes shun the carnivals, ten-in-ones, and dime museums, the bear baiting and cock fights, the trained tigers and punk shows with their pickled babies. Some box thing that’ll make knives that oughta be thrown and swallowed and juggled - make knives cut into women’s flesh…an' make men into careless killers or foolish fathers…

Some Box thing that reflects the world like the mirrors in Monty’s tent. That’ll take away our show - and I won’t get to dance no more..

He says that the folks don’t care about my soft shoe.

He says that I don’t love Kite! He says that you don’t love me!

He says that THERE IS NO YOU!

(20)

In a frightened voice.

NO YOU? Perposterous! SURE there’s you. You’ve come almost every night for the last two years. Come to the second show. Saving me from havin’ to be with a different man every night. (Shivers) Saving me from all those different men. I did not imagine that. I did not imagine it. You may not have always been in the happiest mood, but you always came…came to me…came to me after what must have been hours of dressin’ up in Clown Alley….getting ready for our night.

Puttin' grease paint to change your face, changin' your wig, choosin' your arms, your legs, your chest, your cock. Changing the colour and the mood of your eyes. Green, yella, brown, blue. Mean, lusty, dazed…kind. Every night. Just for me. All for me.

Doing such a good job that you’ve fooled everyone else into believing that you’re actually a different person every night.

Nervous laughter dies to fear.

(Shyly.) Y’know, sometimes I’ve wanted to ask you to leave off your disguise, show me the real you. But…but I haven’t. ‘Been nervous…cus you’re always so touchy when I bring up the night before. What are you trying to hide? What are you trying to forget? Don’t you know that I will love ya no matter how you look.

That I love you. (Moment) Love you? Love YOU.

Maybe it’s those kind eyes tonight. And your listening…that make me want to kiss and kiss you, take away the sadness pooled in those eyes. Tonight I want to see who you really are. Tonight. Right now…I’m…I’m…I’m asking you to show me yourself. Tellin' you, you can stay as you are forever. We’ll meet my friends. And we can go and do whatever, wherever you want. Together. K? I won’t marry that skeleton man - I’ll stay with MY ‘sailor’ - and every single night we can find the beach and honour Aphrodite. An' if Lenny don’t like it we’ll run –no! - we'll SAIL away.

(21)

She straightens her dress.

I’m coming out now. No more running away from you. Are you ready? We’ll

be perfect together. Our babies will be the loveliest in the world.

We’ll be happy ever after.

Forever and a day.

‘Till time stops and the ship docks and the tent is put away.

She stands and waits by the canvas flap. Breath is held.

Will she be saved? Will she save him?

She unties the flap. She peeks through.

Sees her love. Relaxes and smiles.

Music comes up. It is the kindest (but still rough) male voice you’ve ever heard, singing a verse of the Razorback’s song.

Man: (SINGING)

Snuck on board in the belly of the ship

Were the fat, the ugly, and the disfigured

The magical, the mythical, and misunderstood

All because of a single love

She turns back to the audience, does a little soft shoe, then when the song is ended, bows, turns and exits through the flap.

In the darkness of the circus ship

The Stowaway loved her Razorback man.

Aphrodite smiled, as a new life began

Ensuring their Everafter.

Sound of a train whistle fading.

Sound of ocean rollers on the beach.

Eros and Psyche au

N/A: I can´t lie and say this idea never crossed my mind...it has but I never had the incentive to write until now. Also, I like Raven Darkholme as Aphrodite because...I have this HC where Aphrodite isn´t a white woman...she´s every woman. Black woman, Asian woman, latina woman, a trans woman. Any woman is valid here.

@sailorstar9 @djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling @discordsworld @look-ma-no-hands336

AoA Kurtty here.

Beauty is a trait many begs to receive. Wisdom, power and a good heart are secondary, you can read, you can train..but if you´re ugly then the world will have its door lock forever, look at Hephaestus, the poor God is talent but ugly as sin. Raven Darkholme does not have time for ugly.

Aphrodite, Mystique or Raven are names fitting for the deity that can be anything and anyone. Her beauty was sung with devotion until it was not and now...her temples are empty, no sweet aroma, no flowers, no sacrifices and Raven is left wondering what happened.

It can´t be a war, even in the deadliest war, people have time to worship Raven...why her temples are empty?

Raven Darkholme´s spies were sent to understand why her temples are empty, why no one is singing her name and why no one is wanting her blessing. For a moment, Raven was sure her Ex was involved in this plot, yet, her spies prove wrong, for a brief moment, Raven wishes her Ex- was involved in this.

“Repeat carefully what you just told me” Raven is rubbing her temples in her blue form and gazes at the spies “I sure must have heard wrong”

“No, my Goddess, the humans found a human so beautiful, in their words” the spies added carefully “that they believe she is superior to you”

Raven is not happy by this revelation in the slightest. Her face is hardly one to be mistaken by anything but pure fury “what´s her name?”

“Her name is….”

___________________________________________________________________________________

“Katherine Anne Pryde” a male voice is shouting the name of the woman riding in the horse as his life depend on this scream. Both are in a race and Katherine is winning as the race effortless, it does provides some joy for the woman to know she's still a competent horse rider despite everything. “I won” Katherine with her short curly hair and doe eyes replied to the man, who is disappointed. To her relief the man leaves and goes the certainty that tomorrow more suitors will bang on her door.

“You save me from another one” Kitty said and give a sugar cube to the horse. She gently pets the horse named Lockheed, over the course of the end of Apocalypse´s rule, Kitty Pryde has to gain popularity in a way she never expected.

Kitty Pryde´s warrior name is Ariel and Queen Jean asked Kitty to help in the war, the exchange for such valuable help, Kitty has a nice home now and that should be enough, however, Kitty´s prowess on the battlefield make many Spartans and men look at her in approval. Once learning Kitty was never engaged to Piotr(and killing said man) her fame shines even against Mystique.

“You're the only male in my life who isn´t crazy! I don´t get, why they want to marry me? Why bestow me with this damn title of the beautiful woman ...if they only want to chains me to their will?” Kitty replied and Lockheed didn´t offer a word, only a nice touching on her head.

King Logan watches Kitty enters back to the limits of the city with a longing smile, Kitty Pryde is a woman that really pay attention to any men, Logan is married to Jean, but, Kitty Pryde is proving to be a true warrior...Could he make Kitty as his mistress?

_______________________________________________________________________________

A queen must be a real warrior, yet, Jean Grey was not a warrior, per se, Logan married Jean out of whim and they fought against Apocalypse...eventually. Jean did call for help and right now, she wished she hasn´t. Logan is watching Kitty again and drooling at the sight of this woman, instead of the great Jean Grey, for a moment Jean thought in killing Kitty here and there and bath with her blood, yet, Jean saw this woman fight.

Blood and organs and bones being tossed and throw easily by Kitty´s hand as she was the one to kill Apocalypse while Jean just watches...Oh, she is done watching now. If she does not have the power, Jean will get the power to get rid of Ariel for good.

“Oh, Aphrodite, goddess of Beauty” Jean is praying on her temple, so long forgotten as the male audience are seeking Kitty, her husband is there lavish her with gifts that should belong with Jean, he is fucking her...Jean is sure. “Help me get rid of this parasite, she wants to ruin me, help me to take the life of Kitty Pryde”

“Ah, so, not everyone is in love with this little woman” Jean look up and saw Aphrodite in all her blue glory and feels blessed, Raven, for her part pretend to not notice Jean´s admiration gazes “I think we have a problem with Kitty Pryde and your husband is sure not minding the problem” a white lie can´t hurt anyone, well, not Raven. Jean is ready to collapse “ fret not, my loyal servant, I´ll take care of this, my son will give a faith worse than death to Kitty Pryde”

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Kurt Darkholme is not having an easier day, first off, his mother orders him to kill a woman for, in her inane words, being pretty than her and Kurt Darkholme is a good son, however, using his skills to kill a mere human because his mother does not like competition really sour his day.

Second, said the woman is not on an easy target as she is always moving and training with her sword or gauntlet.

Third, Kurt really thinks this is a stupid plan.

As he walks, invisible, along with Kitty, the man wonder why kill her, if mother is that upset, why not marry her with someone else? Killing someone for that reason feels wrong. As his muse goes on, Kitty stops her walk to see the King, well, the King is really blocking her way so she can only see him.

“King Logan” Kitty replied dryly showing her claws and Logan take that as an invitation. Kurt Darkholme knows a little about this man to not like him being this close of Kitty.

“Kitty, you can call me Logan” the woman is not inclined to attend this wish “and I see you win against another suitor” she remains silent and Logan smiles “and what a man has to do to have a woman like you?”

“Oh, if you want the details, first you need to drop dead, then you have to assume to be dickless and never again breath near me, that's very attractive qualities you can have” Kitty respond and Logan is a firm believer that No means Yes.

Logan is ready to grab and is ready to make his intention know “I can´t help thinking about you, you bewitch me, Kitty” Logan speaks with laced with lust. Kurt Darkholme is not impressed and has no problem in killing the king.

Of course, Darkholme didn't count the fact he's invisible and Kitty saw a man being impaled and is not taking this easier. Kurt Darkholme is trying to calm her down, but, the man is not really good to comforting anyone.

“Hey” his voice in the godly tone, something akin impossible to decipher “you're safe now, he can´t hurt you...go run” Darkholme speaks and Kitty looks around confused.

“WTF?” and Kitty leaves, not without adding this “whatever god you´re ...this is the worst way to comfort someone”

___________________________________________________________________________________

Raven is not impressed that her son did fail on the task nor that he killed Logan, however, this can be used. She can blame Kitty for Logan´s death. A devious smile grows on her blue face.

“Son, your mistake really help your mother” Raven speaks fondly at her son who is sharpening his blades. “That woman will die by human´s hands...oh, this is much better”

Kurt stops sharpening his blades and is not paying attention to her mother blabbing about Kitty´s blood and how her temples will be full again. Kurt thought about that woman and as much killing is not a problem for him...that woman does not deserve to die.

Kurt Darkholme teleports and go to Destiny,who was waiting for him with a knowing smile, Kurt Darkholme is here to charge a favour.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Jean Grey is happy and anger at the same time, a confliction caused by Kitty Pryde, her husband was murder by her, that's the only truth Jean can see. Kitty goes spreading lies as if Logan would rape her...that bitch, in Jean´s mind, seduce him and killed without remorse.

“It wasn´t me, it was one of the gods...I think, he never really give a name but he was following me around” Kitty explained “ he tried to rape me and if the deity or whatever didn´t kill him...I would have”

“PROVE ENOUGH” Jean scream like a loud banshee “you must be killed NOW” one of her advisers whisper in her ear and Jean is now confused, this exchange last for a few minutes until she speaks again “it seems the Gods didn't forget you” Jean gives a mockery smile “you´ll be sent to be devoured by a monster” her maniacal voice is back but the adviser whisper again “whatever, you won't return here ever again”

She looks and even her most annoying suitors did not dare to go against the queen. So, this wasn't her home after all.

“Ok, I´ll go right away” she thought in running away, even as the advisor explain she will relocate to another place, the oracle saw in her vision the will of the Gods and they want Kitty to move, well, the Gods are very petty.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Kurt Darkholme has no idea why he did that, how many creatures, humans and deity he has killed? Why Kitty Pryde is any different? His sister often say his emotion are so repressed he couldn´t understand himself not even if he tries hard enough.

Well, in that case, I´ll have to understand her.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Kitty arrives to the new location and Jean is seething, her new house is far superior than Jean. Aside from fucking her husband (Kitty swear by the Gods on the Apocalypse´s grave that she never even remotely like the man) she will live like a queen, no, a better queen than Jean…

Kitty for her part is not sure of what to say, a nice place can still be a prison, in the past she thought she had found a home, now, she knows better, this is just a golden cage.

“Good luck, Miss Pryde, the Gods look at you with mercy” one of the priestess speak and Kitty didn´t resist to show her middle finger to the sky.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Kurt Darkholme decides to be invisible for reason he is not quitting getting, maybe, seeing a blue, furry deity with scarlet eyes and thirsty for blood won't be good to the woman's mind. Or maybe...he's really shy.

The only people he talks are his family or maybe his henchmen, the man did not venture in the romantic path, let alone social, since the incident.

“I´m just protecting her until mother finds another human to torment” Kurt Darkholme explain to himself for the fifth time.

As the woman ventures in the house fearless(or doing a great job in posing as one) Kurt goes to great her, well, that's the idea, unfortunately, as she can´t see him they stumble against each other.

“Oh, hello” Kitty speaks as the deity is still invisible “I was hoping to meet my warden, how are you?”

“I'm not your warden” Kurt defends himself feeling insulted clear he's not a warden, right?

“You killed the king and then let me get the blame” Kitty explained “and then Gods so happen to send me here for supposedly killing the king”

“Wait, they blame you? I killed him with my own sword”

“There´s a trial and everyone was pretty much against me...you could have dropped down and said hello, but, I think they would sentence me to death either way”

“Uhm” Kurt is holding his neck “I was in another trial in Olympus” and then adds “if it makes any difference a guy was sentenced to eat his own organs by Zeus”

“What a dick”

“Yeah, that's the general consensus”

______________________________________________________________________________________

“Can I see your form?” Kitty asked one day as Kitty finishes her dinner, the deity does not eat human food, but, stay near to keep her company, sometimes he speaks about the work or he's just holding a fork to prove he's there.

“No”

“Why?”

“Because”

“Look, I really don't care for your looks, just the fact you can be less of a dick”

“Thank you, that's mean a lot to me”

with the trojan war, it was caused by paris abducting helen as aphrodite promised helen to paris when paris chose her as the fairest and gifted the golden apple to her. helen and paris eloped (courtesy of aphrodite's influence and eros' arrows) after that and menelaus (along with agamemnon) assembled a large army of achaen leaders and then went on the ten years of the war.

anyway so who's helen? i would say in the og series, it's kevin. kevin who was technically stolen away from eau and stayed with the foxes despite the fact that if he stayed, it would bring about riko's wrath on everyone. kevin, in a way, is and was the person many people were fighting over to rescue or keep or take away depending how u look at it. to rescue? easy. from riko. to be free from the ravens. to keep? the foxes, of course. with the deal he shared with andrew, the contract with wymack, everything with neil, they weren't ever letting him go. to take away? riko and tetsuji which is so self-explanatory.

in the tsc series though? jean is helen this time around. jean who was rescued by renee but also stolen away from eau and stayed with the foxes as well to recover then flew to california to join the trojans. unlike kevin, where people wanted him for his skill and his determination to exy; jean is wanted (by the ravens) for his position in the perfect court even though it doesn't even mean anything anymore. they just want the power they sort of believe jean has. this time, jean no longer at eau means the ravens are the ones who opened their gates for the trojan horse (which could be considered renee) and just like troy, the nest was forced to close—effectively falling.

kevin and jean are helen in their respective stories as the reasons why people fight over them differs drastically and can range to several things. and i like to think since the ravens are the trojans in this case, their downfall started with riko's death but i also believe that it was truly pushed into place the moment renee stepped foot onto that campus. therefore, renee is our trojan horse.

obviously this does NOT include any sort of theories because i won't lie—i actually don't theorize much on books like that. i mean i do but i like to throw it up in the air and let the wind decide.

this rant does, however, include my reasoning as to why both kevin and jean are helen of sparta.

has anyone done analysis of the trojans in ancient history & myths and used it to make theories abt tsc 2 & 3 bc i just started thinking abt it and need to peel that apart rn all i remember is trojan horse and i cannot imagine that is relevant in any way. is kevin or jean helen of troy in this instance send help

#all for the game #the sunshine court #nora sakavic #aftg tsc #kevin day #jean moreau #helen of sparta #trojan war #aftg analysis #im a nerd in greco-roman mythology if u couldn't tell #and a history nerd #this is fun actually #i might just start comparing greco-roman myths to aftg events #make it a series or something #mazzy's thought jar #this took an entire episode of criminal minds by the way #i hope this makes sense

Can I make a request a headcanon of Riddle, Vil's, Jamil's and Azul's reaction to finding out that their romantic partner is a direct descendant of the Great Seven? (Like the ones who found and made their dorms?)

Male or Female Yuu/MC/Reader/Y/N please and thank you!

What a wonderful ask, my friend ! I apologize for making this so late, I hope that you will still enjoy reading these head canons if you are still out there. I'll be using gender neutral reader since I wanted everyone to enjoy it but if you wish for a male/female reader only, send in a request and I'll get right to it !

Pairing(s) : vil schoenheit x reader, jamil viper x reader, Azul ashengrotto x reader, riddle rosehearts x reader

Warning(s) : gn!reader, may have some cursing, they/them pronouns are used but gender isn't mentioned, reader is a merfolk in Azul's part (cause you know- Ursula is a mermaid..), also they act similar to their ancestors.

Jamil, Vil, Riddle and Azul finding out that their partner is a descendant of one of the great sevens :

Riddle Rosehearts

When Riddle first met you, he didn't think much of it. Sure you were quite commanding and respected the rules of his dorms very well (which he appreciated) but he just thought it was your personality and nothing more.

When he found you looking at the Queen of Heart's statue, he was surprised to see dissatisfaction on your face. You appeared a little bothered and as your partner he wished to make sure his s/o was alright.

"Is everything ok my Rose ? You seem a little out of your element."

"Ah Riddle, no I'm all good I'm simply thinking about certain things concerning my ancestor."

"Oh, and who are they ?"

"The one I'm looking at right now."

....

WhAt-

he wasn't expecting that, honestly, it feels like a bucket of ice got dropped on his head. Since she is seen in such a positive light in Night Raven College, he will start asking you about her.

"Oh she was a tyrannical queen, absolutely insane with no moral whatsoever. The only traditions we pass down in the family are the rules and leadership qualities, those are taught to the kids at a young age. I never admired her, not once. Sometimes rules didn't even need to be broken for her to cut someone's head off. If she was in front of me, breathing, at this exact moment I would give her a taste of her own medicine."

...

He didn't expect that, not once did he think of it that way. What was pictured to be a righteous royal turned out to be someone who beheaded people for a yes or a no.

It doesn't change what he thinks about you, you are your own person and what your ancestor did is unforgivable.

he's just stunned, and maybe a bit more proud of being your significant other.

Vil Schoenheit

You and Vil are the star couple of NRC, people literally turn blind when they look at the both of you. Dazzled with glam and beauty I swear to god-

He's glad he doesn't have to constantly shout at you for being reckless and ruining your eyeshadow. Not like some people

You were the perfect visual depiction of a queen/king/royal, I imagine you two walking down the school hallway and a red carpet spawns out of nowhere for the both of you to walk on.

Aphrodite has favorites.

You take good care of your appearance, no matter the special/ so called 'unusual' features you carry, you still manage to appear even more wonderful than the Fairest Queen herself.

Rook stalks you follows you around a lot. He would gush at you everyday as you sat in front of the mirror and prepared yourself for the day.

He does this to Vil as well and y'all consider this normal at this point. If you don't, then get prepared to be spooked all the time. Like...all the time.

"My my [Nickname], you look especially splendid today ! Not like you aren't usually, but you managed to make your beauty shine even more than it already was !"

"Well I am the Fairest Queen's great-great-great-great granddaughter/son/child after all."

"..."

"Pardon me."

"Where did that come from ? Orchidia was that in the script-"

Rook will tell Vil immediately, it isn't like it will affect your relationship in any way, he just thinks its a very interesting fact about you.

He may or may not flatter himself with it, but even if you weren't, your beauty does shine without an ancestor to prove it.

Jamil Viper

You are an amazing tactician, I mean, you were capable of coming up with a plan to stop kalim from burning down the dorm 10 days before it had the possibility of taking place.

And let's not ignore your persuasive abilities, you don't even need unique magic to have 200 students do what you want.

You and Jamil are one manipulative pair, but at least you have good morals. Kinda wishing you were there during the entirety of chapter 4 because it would have been over in one episode with no overblot happening at all.

Wether you scold him after finding out is your choice, but if it does happen don't be too harsh about it, his mind is little coo-coo at the moment.

So much that the only thing he catches you saying is :

"...And I don't want you turning into my great-great-great-great uncle simply because things didn't go your way. He was one manipulative and deceiving *sshole who I wish was never related to me at all. He was smart but for the wrong reasons, you are so much better than the sorcerer of sands Jamil ! I know it, and if anyone or anything is bothering you, I expect a full ranting session from your part-" "Wait you're related to the sorcerer of sands ?"

"...."

"Did you hear anything else about what I said ?"

"To be honest..."

"No."

Well that went well.

He is genuinely impressed and a little disappointed about the fact that the very man who represents his dorm is a huge traitor.

You're the one to talk- Lady Orchidia please calm down

He understands what you mean but his perception on Kalim won't change so if you're friends with the guy he stresses over everyday than you're gonna have to learn to live with it.

I repeat, it doesn't change your love for one another, except this time he'll be watching his back a little more. Knowing your advantage against him.

He's soft for you ngl

Azul Ashengrotto

Who are you and why are you so cute together-

Octopus lovers. Oh my god this is too much.

Orchidia you still need to finish the fanfic Shut your mouth and let me die, I finally found my reason to sleep forever.

You will probably have to be a mermaid/man/folk due to your origins but your appearance is your choice cause I'm too lazy to give you one also I have no idea what you look like.

You are once again amazing at convincing people into obeying your orders and both loves and fears your skill.

You are also is source of confidence and pride, if you can be happy in your original fish form than so can he (you just gotta tell him that often.)

He'll find out during a normal conversation where the two of you are in his office as he's arranging the contracts and listening to you talk about your day.

"Oh and did you know my family is related to the sea witch ? I know it's crazy to believe but-" "YOU'RE RELATED TO THE BENEVOLENT SEA WITCH ?!" "Yes...?" *runs up to you and shoves contract in your face* "Please marry me."

He is very happy and very excited, acting like a fan who gets to meet his idol for the first time in person.

He thought highly of you before, now it's through the stars. get it ? cause he thought highly of you ? damnit I suck at jokes.

He's willing to hear you talk about your ancestor for hours and hours, she is his role model after all.

Finds himself very lucky to be with you, even prior to your declaration. You two are just adorable- SQUISHY OCTOPUS !

Accelerate by honkdaddy & isntitcrazy

Length: 15,317 words | Rating: Explicit

Warning: pwp | angst

“You did good.” Oh god his accent. “I don’t think I’ve seen you race that well before.”

Dream looked over to him, raising an eyebrow amidst his prideful grin. “You’ve come to my races before?”

Dream likes to race for the rush of adrenaline, and George looks so pretty when he waves the starting flags.

contact by tangerinehoney

Length: 10,096 words | Rating: Explicit

Warning: hybrid au | smut

“It’s just something George does,” answers the raven as if reading his mind, calmly bringing his other hand up to pet George’s hair. “It’s part of the hybrid thing.”

Dream tilts his head, confused. He searches George’s eyes with his own, but the brunet keeps his gaze down, picking at an invisible loose thread with shaky fingers.

“It’s called grooming, cats do it to each other all the time.”

Cover Me In Debris, Except It’s Cover Me In Your Clothes by Xaccier

Length: 6,477 | Rating: Mature

Warning: Fluff

He’s a quiet shoulder to cry on in the middle of the night after a nightmare. He’s the other half of tangled legs in a shared bed. He’s the head tucked under Dream’s chin, the laughter bubbling through a dark apartment when the lights turn off. He is the light, Dream thinks.

Dream knows that George is amazing. He’s the perfect person, the perfect partner, the perfect friend.

But gods, he looks perfect too.

five times dream catches george wearing his clothes and loves it

Curiosity killed the cat by luckylikeyou

Length: 10,732 words | Rating: Explicit

Warning: hybrid au | pwp

Dog hybrids have always been a little intriguing to cat hybrid George, certain attributes more interesting than others. He thinks their floppy ears are funny and is fascinated by the way their feet will twitch when you scratch them in just the right spot. Moving in with Dream has given him the ability to see these things firsthand, finding amusement in watching Dream chase his own tail when he’s bored, and how he sulks when George doesn’t pay attention to him. The more George learns about dog hybrids, the more he learns about the physical differences between them and cat hybrids. There’s just one specific trait in particular he wonders about.

Or Catboy George gains an obsession with knotting.

Dear Dream by Qekyo

Length: 19,038 words | Rating: Teen and Up Audience

Warning: sad | angst

“I promise you. I promise I’ll come back.”

He promises, George thinks wistfully. He promises such a thing- to offer George with his word on something, to uphold it. It’s as if he’s saying that he’ll give the world to him, just for him. But somewhere is the lingering thought in George's mind is that he won't come back. That the cruel war that had riddled their land will take him too, and he will be left wonted and worry worn. George shivers at the thought.

“You promise?"

That you’ll come home to me?

And as if he heard those unspoken words. Dream beams at him.

“I promise. You won’t even notice that I was gone, my love.”

George releases a wet and broken laugh at the overly romantic pet name that he associates with his beloved. Dream does too before pulling him back into his embrace.

They stay there for a bit. The war can wait.

“I promise I’ll be waiting.”

(or, the war au with letters and oscar wilde quotes)

Dionysus by orphan_account

“Do you trust me?”

George’s eyes are red wine and licorice. He smiles, and there’s a prophecy on his lips.

“No. Do you trust me?”

There’s silence, and the lovers have long since known their fate.

“No.” Dream whispers.

Kismet is sealed in tarnished royalty and Aphrodite bids them farewell, a night of what could have been is theirs to hold onto until dawn rises.

Dream sips on his coffee, “I’m not telling you, Sapnap.”

Warning: pwp

"C'mon, you can tell me, you know that."

George bites his lip. "I want - I wanna feel you." He looks down at the floor. "Um, inside me. Specifically in my mouth, at least this time, it's - my thing is, like...the, uh, feeling of it t-twitching in me."

Dream looks at him with a smile, running a hand through George's hair, leaning in closer to him. "So why'd you ask for a video rather than asking to suck me off? Would've let you, you know that."

George keeps his eyes on the floor as Dream speaks, but Dream doesn't seem to like that. He gently grabs George's chin, forcing eye contact, thumbing gently at his cheekbone.

George can't look away, and it isn't because of the hand holding his head in place.

"I - I wanted to watch, just to - to see if you -"

"To see if I was good enough?"

"Yeah."

"And was I?"

George lets out a shaky breath. "...Yeah."

or, george likes the feeling of dick twitching inside of him.

Green and Gold Letterman by hydralilies

Length: 9,199 words | Rating: Explicit

Warning: pwp | bdsm

Dream let loose an exaggerated, annoyed groan. “You’re so - so vulgar, George.”

And yet, he liked it. Liked the way George was so blunt and forward with his words, firm and straight to the point, preferring to skip the filler and instead focus on the quickest route to achieve what he wanted. It was admirable, in certain situations, but for the moment, Dream wanted to be romantic, if just for a little while.

A sharp tug to his belt loops pulled him back into reality, more importantly, back to the man looking so prettily up at him from his knees.

“You like it.” He did. “Come on, pretty boy. Lay down for me.” George all but cooed, a filthy smirk coating his lips. Dream wanted to taste it.

George basically misses Dream and wears his letterman jacket.

“What’s with all the mirrors?” he asks, breathless, but his eyes still betray him in a curious watch of his lonesome reflection.

“Oh, Georgie,” Dream teases, timbre low and rumbling in the center of his chest. Curling fingertips around the brunet’s chin, he tips his gaze sideways, dark eyes re-meeting themselves as if they never left. “I want you to look at yourself.”

George gets fucked in front of a mirror, but all he can see is himself.

They either need to make some money fast or beg their landlord for an extension, and no one likes speaking to their landlord, so what can they possibly do? How about they make a sex tape (even though they definitely aren't attracted to each other) and then pretend like it never happened?

Warning: sad | angst

Dream and George are in love. At least, Dream hopes that they still are.

Dream fears not being wanted any more; He needs open affection and reminders of love to not feel inadequate.

George dislikes making himself overly vulnerable, but he can do it for Dream. The issue is that he needs to know what's required of him in order to give it in the first place.

When their desires inevitably clash, they have to rethink what they're willing to change about themselves for each other.

Because at some point, it stops working.

He reaches a hand out. It hovers over George’s face, shadowing his lips and nose.

“Goodnight,” Dream says softly, brushing his fingers across George’s forehead. His hair is pushed up, out of his eyes. Even when Dream knows that they’ve wasted their first day together, he can’t be mad. Even when George slept through the car ride home instead of admiring Orlando for the first time ever the way Dream expected him to, he can’t be mad. Even when Dream knows he’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight, he can’t be mad. Not when George looks like this. Not when George is George. “Sleep well.

My princess, please (you know it’s all i wanna do) by timelimez

Length: 6,541 words | Rating: Explicit

Warning: pwp/bdsm

All things considered, the words shouldn’t have surprised George—most of the time in bed, he preferred to lay back, leaving his boyfriend to do most of the work. It was something they both enjoyed, and sure, they switched it up sometimes, but more often than not, that was how it was. He supposed he was kind of a pillow princess.

The words weren’t just surprising, though. No, they were arousing. Dream was good at dirty talk, George knew that, but something about the idea of being Dream’s princess, not prince, was ridiculously fucking hot. It wasn’t a gender thing, George was confident in his gender identity, but he liked being pretty. Delicate, even. A princess.

“Pay for—oh god—you could pay for my master’s? Keep going, please, I’m so close.”

It’s a joke. He can tell it’s a joke from the huff of laughter that punctuates George’s words. He can tell from the way George moves on immediately, paying no mind to his quip in favour of the pleasure running up his legs in little sparks of electricity.

There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for him.

“I’ll do it,” he blurts. “I’ll pay for whatever you want me to.”

or,

Dream accidentally becomes George's sugar daddy, and falls in love.

Warning: smut | erotic poetry?

"It always ended in a different way when the eyes of one met the other. Lips painted purple by so many fiery yet heartbreaking kisses, red marks that turned purple and green on each other's neck, cervicals and sternums, hair still in a tangle as if a tornado had passed over them, breath still slightly ragged and pupils blurred even after hours and hours after their bodies had connected once again in a temptation that was now forbidden to them.''

Or : Dream was looking for inspiration and found it by fantasizing a little too much with George and his persona on Twitter.

Red Glory by tbhyourelame

Warning: pwp | uni au

Dream really, really hates when anyone else wears his letterman. Yet when the boy he flirts with between cheap booze and loud music looks cold enough on his walk home to slug it over his shoulders, cold enough to be kissed, even—he can't help himself.

He looks better than all the sweet-tongued, blonde girls who try to saunter off with it after games. The maroon fabric brings out the subtle pink in his lips and high cheekbones. His hands disappear beneath the striped cuffs.

Dream’s heart thumps erratically at the sight of George in his clothes, in his letterman—unlocking something deep in him with a gentle click.

Warning: fluff

It's getting difficult to pass it off as jetlag, when George stays practically shut away in his room for nearly three days. All the while, he's avoided Dream and Sapnap like the plague, despite their long-awaited union finally coming to fruition.

And all Dream wants to do, aches to do, is pull George into his arms, to hold him, to remind himself that he's here. He’s not across the ocean anymore. He’s here.

But, somehow, there’s still distance between them.

And it hurts. God, it hurts.

Or, George arrives in America, but he neglects to tell his friends a crucial piece of information. Cuddles and nighttime talks occur.

“‘N more hoodies,” George answers with a frown, nuzzling deeper into the pulse of his neck and whimpering when it beats against the curl of his nose.

“Oh love,” Dream sighs unexpectedly, pulling away and eliciting a high whine from George at the missing comfort. Dream doesn’t pull away far, not far enough for his body heat to escape their proximity, but it’s not as warm as before, and that’s enough for George to complain.

But then Dream reaches around himself and tugs at his own hoodie, slowly starting to pull it up. George is quick to protest with a frown. “But you’ll-”

“Shhh,” Dream coos quietly into his temple, kissing it before continuing softly, “let me take care of you.”

George is having a bad morning, but thankfully, Dream is there to warm him up.

“George,” Dream whispers with the reverence one would carry a sonnet, the informal name tumbling out of his chest and into the tender night air. (Which encompassed the two like a satin blanket, the zephyr barely registering in their love hazed minds.)

George thinks he could kiss him.

Maybe because he’s weak. Because he’s spent his whole life rejecting any suitor his father sent his way. Because he can’t imagine his life without his knight, his Dream by his side.

Maybe because this night; this moment, has been long overdue.

"so," Drista starts, flicking past the posts on her phone with feigned interest, a small smile tugging on her lips. "Who's the British guy?"

Clay scoffs lightly, configuring the wires of his setup. "Which one? I have quite a handful of British friends."

Drista groans, dangling her legs from the kitchen counter, "the cute one."

Clay glances at her, a quizzical look on his face. "You mean George?"

The smile on the younger girl's face turns into a sinister, coy grin, as she says with a teasing lilt. "Oh, so you think he's cute?"

(or, some moments of Drista and Dream, and how they both view love.)

“How am I the idiot here?” Cockiness laced each syllable, and George felt something carnal churn in his chest. “I have proof. You, on the other hand, have literally nothing.”

George felt his lips open before he could clamp them shut. “How do I know you’re not lying?”

He regretted the words immediately. They’d slipped out. An accident.

Dream was less the wiser, and humor continued to drive his words. “Oh please, George. What, you don’t believe me?”

Or, George doesn't believe Dream's packing. So, he decides to prove it to him.

He watches the way George’s eyelashes flutter at the contact, watches the way his hair falls in front of his eyes, hooded and cast towards Dream. Chest heaving and lips kissed red.

George’s left hand lightly touches his knee, and he’s reminded for a moment of George’s soft touches before this all happened.

He can’t go back to that again. Can’t even fathom only having George touch him like a friend when he’s capable of so much more.

(Or, Dream finds out the hard way that George is a lot more touchy than he expected. Feelings arise!)
