The fact that there seems to be no schools on Zaun is so fucking sad. Like why is Silco doing allat to "better Zaun" instead of installing like two public schools. Baby get those children of the mines and start teaching them about the french revolution and I ASSURE YOU that you'll get an independent nation in no time. There's no one more radicalized that oppressed people realizing that populations before them HAVE managed to change their status in story. Like the week we covered this specific topic in class my group became completely different. We managed to get more budget for half of our activities. Actually made a formal complaint with signatures and all for a horrible teacher. Managed to get the principal to allow us to bring a DJ for prom (mind you this was a catholic, all-girls type of school)

EDUCATE THE CHILDREEEEEN. SILCOOOOO. GIVE THOSE FUCKERS ALGEBRA HOMEWORK.

Yes I know systemic issues and at the end is all piltover's fault but silco my darling dearest I assure you funding a school would be cheaper than those goddamn shimmer suits. ALSO he could've manipulated the next generation via completely modifying the curriculum! Like, Silco! Hear me out! This would give you control over most of the kids in the fucking place. Even if not all of the show up to class, you only need ONE of them spreading the bullshit you feed them to their friends who will spew it to their friends who will- one kid is enough!! Now imagine a hundred of them. You can actually poison families from the fucking inside.

Why do "villains" never go for the schools. Especially patient ones. Like give it ten years and you've got a small guerrilla. Shooting lessons instead of P.E. Get your goons to train them. Like you could be SO much more powerful. It would skew the public's perception of him. He could pull a "It was ME who brought education to the children of Zaun. I stand for its progress. Will you stand with us, too?" And people would EAT IT UUUUUP

Kinda feeling like a forever child who's never going to be grown up enough

CHONNY JASH song count eleven is actually so good, not only the rift bit when all the music goes woshshhhhh ookhhhhohhhhhhwwwoooovvmmm but also because it makes my head explode in a jumble of colours that make my brain turn to mush

[lorddeathofmurdermountain]

*Slavic accent* This is why Balkan school is best school. In Balkan, school fears you.

adults: oh silly children with no responsibilities no real trauma no life experience no worries and yet oh so dramatic about nothing

also adults: oh thank fucking GOD i am not in school anymore, i had another nightmare i was THERE again, i woke up in a cold sweat bc i didn't study for my TEST-there's nothing not anything like the sweet relief of realizing that you actually don't have one and you won't have one in a very very long time, i still remember what the hallways smell like, i graduated years ago but i don't feel safe yet

workin hard (writing a fic that feels like its been going on forever)

[lovezbrownies]

Love Shot. (Yandere!Med Student.)

General Masterlist

Synopsis: How does it feel to be stalked by an obsessive weak woman? You find that out as your labmate won’t leave you alone.

PAIRING: Lorelai McCanister x GN!Reader.

You never agreed to be Lorelai’s lab partner. That decision was made for you—or by you, technically. Your name was scrawled beside hers on the signup sheet in the exact same looped script you used when you were in a hurry. Same slant. Same spacing. Almost indistinguishable… unless you actually looked closely. Which no one did, of course. Why would they? Everyone loved Lorelai. Not you.

She was brilliant. Polished. The girl who could diagnose a fictitious patient down to their vitamin deficiencies before the rest of the class had even finished reading the prompt.

She laughed easily in study groups, always smelled like some kind of fancy peach-lavender soap, and somehow had the energy of a cheerleader and the grades of a sleep-deprived demon. Professors remembered her. Internships fought for her. And yet, despite all the sparkling attention constantly circling around her like bees to sugar, Lorelai only looked at one person. You.

It started with little things, like when she brought you better gloves—saying she noticed how you always tugged at the standard ones like they were too tight. You hadn't realized you did that. You hadn’t realized anyone noticed that. But Lorelai did. She always did.

And when she offered the new gloves, she msiled like she was handing you her heart, unwrapped and still warm. Her hands were shaking slightly, just enough to make you pause, just enough to make the air between you buzz with something unspoken and wrong.

“I—I saved these for you,” She murmured, voice fragile like wet paper. “You’re always so careful, so gentle. You deserve better than cheap gloves. I hate when things hurt y— Err, I hate when gloves hurt… Don’t want you to be, uh, uncomfortable.”

You tried to laugh it off. Tried to say thanks and turn back to the dissection table, but she kept watching you. Not the cadaver. Not the demonstration. Just you. Her eyes followed every twitch of your fingers like she was memorizing them, like she could recite the motion of your wrist back to you in her dreams—and maybe she could. You never got the courage to ask.

Eventually, you started finding things. Subtle things. Coffee cups with your order already printed on them waiting in front of your usual seat at 8:00 AM sharp—long before she ever walked into the lecture hall. Flashcards with her handwriting slipped into your binder, with tiny red hearts drawn beside the answers you always forgot. A new pack of highlighters in your backpack after you’d mentioned once, offhandedly, that yours were going dry. And that time you came back to your dorm and your hoodie—the one you lost last week—was neatly folded on your bed. Clean. Lavendar-scented. Like someone had cradled it instead of washed it.

You said nothing. You told yourself you were being paranoid, told yourself it was just kindness, or coincidence, or that weird kind of med school camaraderie that made everyone a little too involved in each other’s business. But then your roommate casually asked why you hadn’t told them about your girlfriend.

“What girlfriend?” You’d asked, belinking, beyond confused.

“The one with the long wavy hair, brown with blond highlights. Always waiting outside for you. The one that gives you flowers? Dude, she was just standing out there yesterday, holding this huge bouquet and like… not blinking.”

You said nothing. Just went cold. Cold snd still. Because you hadn’t seen Lorelai that day, but apparently, Lorelai had definitely seen you.

You tried to confront her once. Cornered her in the library between shelves of outdated pathology texts, where the lights flickered and no one else ever studied. You told yourself to be firm, clear, sane. But the second you said her name, she looked up at you like you’d just proposed marriage.

Her eyes went wide. Wet. Her mouth opened and closed like she was drowning in words she didn’t know how to swallow.

“I—I didn’t mean to upset you,” She stammered, fingers knotting into her sweater like she was holding herself together with white thread. “I know I’m too much sometimes, I just— I wanted to help. I saw you were stressed and I thought if I took over the presentation for Asher’s class you’d finally get some rest. You never sleep enough, and you always chew your lips when you’re nervous, and you work so hard and no one even acknowledges it—so I did!”

Her voice cracked at the end, pitched high with desperation, her face flushed with emotion. She looked awful. Messy. Real. And still—achingly beautiful in that terrifying, broken doll way. She wasn’t even waiting for you to forgive her. Just not hate her.

“I just wanted to matter,” She whispered. “I wanted you to need me. Just a little.”

You didn’t answer. You couldn’t. What could you say to a girl who looked at you like salvation and wept when you forgot her name?

And from that day on, she started calling you doctor. Softly, under her breath, like it was a secret between you. She whispered it every time you passed, every time your fingers brushed, every time you so much as looked in her direction. Sometimes, even when you didn’t.

“Doctor and doctor,” She would murmur with a trembling grin. “Imagine us, side by side. Forever.”

And when you didn’t respond—when you didn’t correct her—she took that as a promise.

From what I can tell looking at the files all of the bgs are AI generated with some touching up(but none of it is ever fully done, it's mostly to add effects and stuff) yeah. It'd be nice if they took some of the money they got and put it into actual background artists but that's a long shot.

Some of them are really bad lmao like anywhere with curved stairs or a shelf? Try and follow the stair railings or identify what's on the shelf lmao it's. . .very apparent

Even the images in Hyde's little house related quiz at the beginning are AI generated. U:

Rui's room! ("bg_obscuary_ruiroom") Two screen PC setup, wall-length mirror behind the bed??? His VR headset on the desk too. Cologne on the bedside table? And lotion? Or alcohol? Or lube--

Way better lit than it looks

if you can tell someone is a mean person stay away from them have little to no contact with this person its will save you all the energy and time because people like this can be extremely draining trust ik that!

Tip #6 ; Be nice but don’t be a pushover

obviously being nice is ESSENTIAL but never let someone cross your boundaries or disrespect you call them out on it don’t make a huge scene obviously but definitely let them know that you’re setting a boundary and if they cross again then cut this person off because obviously they don’t respect your boundaries!!

UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA AU QUESTIONS ‼️

1. do you have backstories for how everyone learned to play their instruments? why it matters to them that they play / go to university for it / etc?

2. why did you pick the instruments for them? (lowkey i already know some of this cause we chatted in dms but i wanna know more…)

3. what are interpersonal relationships like? are they close to canon, or have you shaken it up a bit?? how will the relationships develop over the course of the au

4. do you have favorite arrangements / pieces for any of them yet? or have you picked out any songs for them to play in the parts of the au?

4a. if you have a playlist….. i am a fiend for playlists

5. are they all in music school or do they have other majors?

6. is this set in the modern day or is it like. back in the past when they’d like canon age progression wise be in uni… this is kind of a silly question but i am curious

7. got any plot points happening ?? or is it just like brain worms of them playing cause like. that is how most of my aus are hehe so im curious!!!

8. gimme a scene if you have one. a cool fun scene you’ve thought out that you wanna share with the class

i really hope this isn’t too much like don’t feel pressured to answer everything or any of it or whatever !!!! i’m just really interested in this au :D <3

THIS MADE MY DAY HDJSJSJSJSKSKAJKS IM GENUINELY SHAKING THE STIMMING IS INSANE IM SO HAPPY

YES AND THIS IS ABOUT TO GET DEEP.

Vincent: Growing up Vincent had a difficult time making friends, he had always been scrawnier and more mature than the other kids which made it difficult to get along with his peers. He always enjoyed music, and his parents, worried sick seeing that although he was content without children hus age to play with he didn’t have anyone to do so with if he did want to, decided to enroll him in the city’s youth orchestra. He said the squeek of the violins snd violas hurt his ears, the bass was wayyyyy to big, and the cello was just perfect. He fell in love with the sound instantly, and started playing when he was 7, the practice rooms of the creative center became his refuge growing up. 

Aldo Bellini: He learned to play violin from his dad!!! His dad was an Italian immigrant, and his grandparents on his mom’s side immigrated à generation prior. His dad had made violins as a part of a family business when he was younger, but fell in love with the music instead. So, naturally when he had a son of his own—Aldo—he not only taught him to be good with wood, but also learn to appreciate and practice the art he desperately wanted to. 

Goffredo Tedesco: He played viola for the first time when he picked up on a one-time music class in 4th grade, and although he could hardly hold a bow his teacher saw how much he absolutely adored it. After that day he started renting a viola on his own dime, teaching Tedesco in the mornings before school and the evenings after. He grew up in a poor with a less than loving family (the word “dysfunctional” hardly scratches the surface) and similarly to Vincent, music became his safety. 

Thomas Lawrence: Thomas started to play the piano, following in his older sister Clara’s footsteps who was a classically trained pianist. He always used to climb on the stair balusters, listening to her music until she eventually noticed and insisted she teach a little 6 year old Thomas to learn. 

Joseph Tremblay: He started playing double bass in 6th grade, primarily since he lied about playing it, realized people would eventually found out, and pressured himself to learn it so he wouldn’t be caught. Turns out he ended up really enjoying it!!!!

2. why did you pick the instruments for them? (lowkey i already know some of this cause we chatted in dms but i wanna know more…)

Vincent: The cello is the closest to the human voice! It has a beautiful sound. It’s versatile, both capable of being soft, sweet and melodic, as well as stern, specific, and fast. Also I’m a cellist and he’s my comfort character and also me irl so likeeeee, all of the above still apply I just had to. 

Aldo: FIRST VIOLIN VIBES. He’s sarcastic, witty, hard headed, and deeply passionate. He’s perfect for it.

Tedesco: This is a determined mother fucker. He’s competitive, puts his everything inro it, and because of how he grew up he in a way views viola as the one thing he’s good at. It became his purpose, it became his safety and he takes it seriously because it’s a part of him. He’s competitive, aggressive and arrogant, but internally the pressure he puts on himself to be perfect is enough to make him crack some days. 

Also he takes viola jokes farrrrrr too personally. 

Tremblay: I’m going to be so honest I don’t even know. Someone who’s a Tremblay fan please come up with a cool idea I will use it in a heart beat. 

3. what are interpersonal relationships like? are they close to canon, or have you shaken it up a bit?? how will the relationships develop over the course of the au

Bellini and Tedesco met in a very specific and very much a tragic setting that you’ll get to see when I post the fic. ;) They have a complicated relationship to say the least.

Vincent and Agnes are stand partners!!!! They have a very much a high-school-best-friends-going-to-the-same-university type of vibe. 

Bellini and Vincent are actual best friends. Practically like brothers, they’re always togehther.

Thomas and Vincent practice together sometimes, and Thomas admires Vincent for his craft but feels intimidated by him as a person (primarily since he believe’s he’ll only harm him regardless of the fact he’d never want to.) so he keeps his emotuonal distance despite Vincent repeatedly treating him like an old friend.

4. do you have favorite arrangements / pieces for any of them yet? or have you picked out any songs for them to play in the parts of the au?

YEAYESYESYESYES I DO. THE CONCERT WILL BE A PREFORMANCE OF TCHAIKOVSKY’S SYMPHONY NO.6 (MY ABSOLUTEL FAVORITEEEEE) 

You can listen to it here on YouTube!!! 

4a. if you have a playlist….. i am a fiend for playlists

OH BOY YOU FUCKIN BET. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5ZhTCXFzcQZrf2zo7C756u?si=2xhXH32lTtWEpvSoroGg6w&pi=X_8-o2N2SqmbG&pt=5c5f0d664c9ee1ab0a8e4254cfceab80

5. are they all in music school or do they have other majors?

They each have their own majors and minors, they’re also just part of the orchestra!!

Vincent: Chemistry and philosophy double major (has some elective psych classes that he adores) 

Aldo: Political science major, minoring in psychology. (planning for pre-law. Not how things turned out, obviously) 

Goffredo: Political science major, minoring in Latin. 

I’D LIKE TO ADD THAT BELLINI AND TEDESCO ARE POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJORS IN VERYYYYY DIFFERENT WAYS. Bellini is a liberal New Yorker who loves debate and critical analysis of the world’s political climate. Tedesco is a conservative Italian whose beliefs are as deeply ingrained into him as his DNA is, desperately trying to escape his home life. Both of them are planning for pre-law. Both of them, obviously, do not go down this path. Both of them still find each other again, just as they did across the concert hall. Across the globe, in a church recognizable to the world by a mere outline, their past and futures remain intertwined. 

Thomas: History major. 

Agnes: This is a physics major. Tell me I’m wrong. 

Joesph: Architecture major. 

6. is this set in the modern day or is it like. back in the past when they’d like canon age progression wise be in uni… this is kind of a silly question but i am curious

Not a silly question at all!!! I’m so glad you asked. I set it in present times, but with minor tweaks to the story it could be set in the canon timeline of when they would’ve been in university. So like, think 2024-25 ish. 

7. got any plot points happening ?? or is it just like brain worms of them playing cause like. that is how most of my aus are hehe so im curious!!!  

YES. A LOT OF PLOT. ITS INSANE. 

The emotional distress I’m putting these men under is crazy. 🫶

I don’t want to spoil it but we get to see the concert prep, Tedesco’s addiction problems (and Aldo’s link to them you’ll learn soon!), a flashback, and then some extra stuff youll just have to wait and see. 

8. gimme a scene if you have one. a cool fun scene you’ve thought out that you wanna share with the class

I just think this is a kinda cool little excerpt without any real spoilers!!: 

“The room ordered itself quickly, thrashes of each bow producing a sound smooth yet bold like an ocean tide. Tones danced with each other, notes lifting off the page with intense focus and a skilled hand. Each section began with their tip of the bow brushing the highest string, sliding through the measures in practiced routine.”

HOLY SHIT THIS HAS BEEN A SUPERRRRRR LONG POST- I HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTIONS SUFFICIENTLY 😭🙏 THIS BROUGHT ME SO MUCH JOY BECAUSE 1. FANTASTIC QUESTIONS???? AND 2. ACTUALLY REALLY HELPED ME FLESH OUT MY FIC!!!

ANYWAYS TYSM FOR ASKING AND TYSM DOE READING THIS!! ^^

[acesspacee]

1.Question no.1

I've heard of people having "traits" like do things that is common is autistic people like stimming going non verbal , fidgeting alot, zoning out/ dissociating from what I've learnt dissociating is a more extreme case of zoning out. Out of all the things I've listed more included I can't really remember. the only one I do is non verbal? around my friend sometimes because of stress or anxiety, in general I'm not a talkative person as well so maybe it's anxiety or something else but I do end up going long periods of time of feeling like I can't speak so matter how hard I try

So in short my first question is can non autistic people have autistic "traits:?

2. I've been told autism is a spectrum refering to there's high functiong and low functioning but I'm still lost as to what that means, (my bad if this question sounds a bit rude in thr way I word it I'm not trying to be in any way so I apologize again😓) I know some things autistic people struggle with are like sensory issues, going non verbal , dissociating, stimming, but here's my question what's the difference between sensory issues with a normal person and an autistic person? Like let's say for example the issue is a certain material that feels uncomfortable to both people and causes them to feel uncomfortable, what would be the different between the issue for the autistic person rather than the normal person?

3. Lastly this is more for my own knowledge, what's the difference between Autism burn out and regular burn out?

Hello!! Genuine question so my apologies if I come of as rude or insensitive. I have a friend who has autism and I want to learn how to help her better more with different things but I'd also like to know the difference between Autism things and non- autism things?

Autism burn out may last for any periods of time, ip to months affect individuals socially mentally cause thrm to be more easily overwhelmed / sensitive to stress extreme exhaustion and difficulty functioning

Regular burn out can last for up to months affects people mentally snd socially more stressed out tired but I I'm guessing a lesser level of tired than autistic burn out? And I'm guessing on a general autistic burnout causes them to have a harder time functioning like for example a regular person is burnt out but still tries to get things done but is mostly burnt out an autistic person wouldn't be feeling well enough to do that?

IM REALLYBSORRY IF THESE QUESTION'S SEEMED A BIT RUDE IM JUST GENUINELY CURIOUS ANDBI WANT TO KNOW!

(I'm vv sorry for long ass mwssage)

Oh i have been WAITING for these. no worries my friend, for I love answering questions. Tho, note that I am not a professional and will be refering to my experiences and those around me.

Question 1: From my experience, yes, some people may experience some autistic traits, it doesnt make them autistic, it may just be apart of their day to day like (like jumping when you're happy).

Question 2: Sensory issues for me is where every little thing may hurt. The lights, the air conditioner, people using *their phones* whilst a neurotypical person may not even notice these sounds. Also, with the material example you gave, a nerodivergent person may act more "dramatically" about it while a neurotypical person may just voice their hatred.

Question 3: Autistic burnout is way more than socially and mentally. It also impacts us physically, cognitive AND emotionally. Depending on how long the burnout lasts, the neurodivergent person may begin to avoid everything and everyone. Give up on dreams, quit school, quit work. Many horrible things happen the longer it stays and I have witnessed them. So you were right about that.

Dont be sorry! It's okay to ask questions about topics you want to learn about/dont know. I hope I was able to help and apologizes if they didnt help as much. Again, these are my experiences/opinions, I'm no professional.

Also side not, this may just be me, please dont call neurotypical ppl 'normal'. Autism is my normal so calling them normal feels weird..idk

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

a thought 🤔💭

Consider this post an offshoot of this one!

A lot of the world lore we receive comes directly from the 22-student main cast of NRC. However, this information they provide us with shouldn’t always be taken at face value 💦 Characters can be unreliable narrators; they won’t be 100% honest with us just because we’re the player.

There are points where they speak with sarcasm (so it negates the words they actually say). This happens a lot with Leona’s lines. Other times, characters intentionally say something to avoid implying something else or to cover up a less savory truth. An example of this may be Azul, who is highly concerned with maintaining his self image. Therefore, not everything he says may be entirely truthful, as the words may be intentionally changed to preserve his self image. We need to more carefully parse through and determine what is true and what is false or insincere of the information they disperse to us. It’s much easier, of course, to get a sense for their intentions by listening to their voiced home screen lines rather than just reading the text snd comparing it to their facial expressions, but voices aren’t always available.

Something else I was thinking about that goes hand-in-hand with this is how different backgrounds bias clouds the information given out or can provide an incomplete sample of the TWST population. For example, if you think about it, NRC only has ~800 students and we only see 22 of them. That’s a very small fraction of the total population of Twisted Wonderland (the whole world)—not to mention that almost 75% of those 22 come from at least upper middle class or at least “special” or privileged families:

Riddle’s parents are both medical mages, with his mother being particularly well-known in their hometown’s community. He had the privilege of studying magic since he was very young (which is notable since education is typically general and does not include magic unless you specifically go to a school for it like NRC).

Cater’s dad is a banker. I’m guessing he has to be pretty high up on the food chain to be traveling all the time (and far enough to separate Cater from his friends every time they do), as a regular low-level banker would stay put at one bank location and devote most of their time there.

Leona is a prince, and so is Malleus. Whether they are crown prince or not doesn’t matter because they still receive great educations and access to great funds either way.

Azul’s mom owns and operates the most famous restaurant in the ENTIRE Coral Sea. His stepdad is also a lawyer.

The Leech twins’ father has important connections and is highly influential in the Coral Sea; they are probably loaded because of this. (Popular fan speculation is the Leech mob family.)

Kalim’s dad is a wealthy trader and he is related to royalty; as the eldest son, Kalim is going to inherit the business. The Asim family’s enormous wealth is mention several times over in the main story, voice lines, vignettes, and events.

Jamil’s family is also said to be well-off.

Vil is an A-list celebrity and his father is as well.

We don’t know the specifics about Rook’s family, but they must be influential and deal in some kind of international business, as Rook mentions they have villas and warp pads (which require special clearance for) all over Twisted Wonderland.

Idia and Ortho’s family legit runs a secret government organization that studies blot. Idia himself is a child prodigy, and is set to become the next director after his father and grandmother.

Lilia is a renown war general and was close friends with his country’s crown princess and her spouse. He lives humbly, but he still has highly influential connections that a regular person wouldn’t.

Silver is Lilia’s adopted son, so by extension, he comes from a privileged background. Even if he technically grew up in a hut in the middle of the woods and didn’t live luxuriously, he still has Lilia’s social connections.

Sebek’s parents are both dentists and do you know how much money dentists make—

Ace, Trey, Jack, and Epel come from normal income families (excluding the portion in book 5 when Epel said his family’s farm has fallen on hard times).

Ruggie comes from extreme poverty while Deuce’s family has had financial issues due to being a single parent household.

And that’s not even to mention that NRC is all-male and mostly 16-18 year olds, thus skewing the perspectives we see in a “male” and “adolescent” direction. This will naturally limit the scope of how they see the world and how they speak about it, even if the characters themselves don’t intend for it to happen. In fact, I wonder if part of the reason the NRC boys aren’t open to accepting help or being open with others when they’re struggling isn’t purely a school-exclusive thing. Maybe it’s because 1) teenagers tend to be largely egocentric/focused on themselves anyway, and 2) society largely discourages men from showing “weakness” and NRC happens to attract particularly prideful students 😭 but the most obvious example of background limiting scope of perception are definitely the super sheltered, super wealthy characters (Malleus, Kalim, etc.).

Just getting our information from them won’t be entirely accurate to how the rest of the population acts or perceives things. We cannot 100% rely on what we know of the TWST boys’ behaviors to assess what everyone or everything else is like.

Building a Home, my SVU AU ideas/general plot

Elliot Stabler is an architect with his own firm. Does lots of projects to build schools, hospitals etc for the less well-off/the local community. He was travelling and doing that in other countries before, then decided he could also make a difference at home, wants to meet someone and settle down, have a family snd be an involved/present dad and he really missed his family.

Big, loving Irish family: siblings Shannon and Dee, Randall, Benjamin ( deceased after fighting in the armed forces) then there’s Elliot after a big gap and another big gap before Joe Jr. Dad Joe is a cop and basically parents like Elliot does, and Bernie teaches art at school and to adults/the elderly. Her bipolar is spotted early on and she goes on medicine that works for her and is supported by her kids and husband. His sisters and older brothers all have kids from more or less good relationships. One is  Aisling, she’s a young adult who interns/works for her Uncle El ( answers the phone, makes appointments, opens mail).

Olivia is paired with Munch and they have to investigate a crime, one of Elliot’s former employees/clients is involved/the victim so they talk to him. Aisling calls him Mr Stabler at work, keeps things very professional but later Liv and Munch go through his texts/e-mails and/or see him having dinner with his niece, they see them laughing/hugging/using her first name or an endearment like honey or sweetheart/he kisses her cheek so they think he’s dodgy. After some questioning, he is found innocent and Olivia offers to take him out for a drink as an apology ( they both had major heart eyes for the other when they met), which turns into dinner then dating. 

They get pregnant fairly quickly but Olivia miscarries. They call the baby Aidan Michael. 

They get married as Olivia rises through the ranks, and go on to have Charlotte Olivia, Sophia or Stella Bernadette, twins Matthew Joseph ( Mattie) and Margaret Joy ( Maggie) followed by an anniversary celebration « oops baby » called Elinor Grace. They could also adopt Calvin and/or Noah. 

Olivia makes Captain and Elliot mostly works from home and has some help from his parents/family/a nanny. 

Liv’s partners all stay in touch with her and are honorary aunts and uncles. Elliot becomes great friends with Carisi.

Wattpad fic ad 🕷️🖤

Hello! I'm writing a wattpad fanfic about Katsuki Bakugou x female reader. the fic is called arachnoid 🥹 and theres currently only about 15-16 parts. right now, im writing about the sports festival and i already have a good idea of what im going to do for the internships. but to give you a better idea of what the fic is about ill give a little summary for you 🖤🕷️

Starting off with your quirk!!

Your quirk is basically like spiderman 2099 & miles morales combined snd some extra powers i added. If you don't know them from atsv, ill give you a quick rundown of some of the abilities they have !!

So starting off with some basic spiderman powers. Peter parker has the ability to generate webs from his wrists, and so do you. But in the story, theres a little twist. You can obviously swing around and hold massive amounts of weight, but you can also form objects with a lot of firmly packed webs. It takes a lot of energy out of you though.

Spiderman also has the skill of sticking to walls and ceilings. Or just any surface that gravity doesnt allow the normal human being to stay upright on. So of course you have that included with your quirk !!

Let's not forget about the spidey sense. Spidey sense is basically just a 6th sense for telling if danger is near, and where it is coming from. But in my fic, when youre either overwhelmed and worked up or really focused on something, your brain kind of turns off the ability to sense danger. But farther into the story you'll be able to multitask.

Okay moving onto the powers you have that are similar to Miles Morales! So we know that he can turn camouflage or turn invisible, and that he has electricity powers. Now you might not have the electricity ability he has, but if you hold your breath, you can turn invisible snd camouflage into any surface.

Okay couple more things about the benefits of your quirk im pretty sure. Venom immobilization. I added the power to immobilize an opponent by protracting your fangs and emitting an immobilizing venom into someone. Yes you have to bite them for it to work, and yes it can be inconvenient. 😭

Next is how you can generate 6 extra limbs and 6 extra eyes, giving you 8 of each. So like an actual spider, you have the skill to grow six extra arms out of your shoulder blades like Shoji :) (he's such a sweetheart i love him) but also you can grow 8 eyes to enhance your range if vision and also the ability of night vision, since spiders are mainly nocturnal.

Okay i think thats it for your quirk but now its time for backstory !!

Basically the fic stated that you have an identical twin brother, Koji L/n, and both parents present. It starts off with it being the day of your brother's birthday party. Your neighbors down the street, The Bakugou family, show up to introduce themselves.

Shortly after the party ended, your brother Koji went missing, then was pronounced deceased and left a cold case. Your mother thought another baby would be enough to distract her from the loss of her child. It ended up adding more pressure onto her so she left.

You were forced into growing up too fast having to raise your little sister to the best of your ability as your dad slowly turned into a deadbeat. As you were about to finish your last year of middle school, a biy introduced himself to you and he ended up being your boyfriend for a short amount of time.

He scarred and traumatized you for life and you promised yourself to not show vulnerability and naivety towards anyone ever again, until a special someone weaseled back into your life.

Hopefully you like this story as it continues on! The link unfortunately isnt working for me, or maybe im just stupid. But my user on wattpad is 'astervoiid' and the fic is called 'Arachnoid || K.B. x reader'

Thanks so much for reading! Posting this in hopes it gets more reads and plot suggestions! Have a good day xx 🖤🕷️🕸️

Why Bellatrix Lestrange was so crazy (Most Noble and Ancient House of Black Headcanon)

• As someone who descended from generations of inbreeding, she suffered from mental instability from birth, which only worsened as she got older

• She inherited her Aunt Walburga’s explosive and dangerous temper, and extreme attitude on blood purity

• She had an inherently dominant and forceful personality, and excelled in anything that required adrenaline

• Her family environment was oppressive and as the eldest daughter she was given the most responsibilities snd expectations

• As Sirius and Regulus were both much younger, she was raised like a firstborn son and treated with little affection by her father

• However she was still a woman and could not escape the patriarchal values of the Black family which expected women to be submissive and continue the bloodline

• On the other hand she was also told the Blacks were the most illustrious family ever and thus she developed a high opinion of herself

• Her loud, argumentative and boisterous attitude did not sit well with her parents, who as a result constantly punished her

• Unlike her more suave sister Narcissa she was unable to hide her opinions and often got into trouble for it

• Despite being a top notch student, her parents paid little compliment to her achievements, instead expecting her to marry a pure blood heir as soon as she graduated

• Her parents cared little about her feelings and desires, but merely expected her to unquestionably follow their orders and honor the family name

• This authoritarian upbringing was what later endeared her to Voldemort’s authoritarian regime, and she gradually adopted her family’s cold and ruthless attitude

• As a teenager she was also insecure, craving for praise and validation that she never received, and having to shoulder her family’s responsibilities without having anyone to confide in

• She felt deeply betrayed by Andromeda’s elopement with Ted Tonks, as it was kept a secret, and despite herself taking the responsibility to protect her sisters, Andromeda did not appreciate it at all

• She fell in with the wrong crowd at school, many of her friends being the children of the first generation of Death Eaters, and they delved deeply into dark magic

• Her marriage with Rodolphus was arranged by their families, with little love or attachment, the main purpose being to forge a beneficial alliance

• Being ‘forced’ into a loveless marriage was partially what made Bellatrix so bitter, and she vowed never to have children and instead devoted herself entirely to Voldemort

• Despite fervently championing her family’s beliefs, she also had a rebellious streak, and refused to be a broodmare like other pure blood women, regarding it as something beneath her status as a female warrior

• Her hostile attitude towards traditional gender roles and motherhood made her an outcast amongst pure blood women, and she fell in deeper and deeper with male Death Eaters

• She didn’t have a single caring or nurturing bone in her body and was serious about sacrificing any hypothetical sons to the Dark Lord

• Voldemort gave her the attention her father never did, saw her as a truly brilliant witch superior to the men around her, and gave her free rein to unleash her frustration and rage

• She fell head over heels for Voldemort, partially in awe of his magical prowess and charming demeanor, and partially to spite her family for forcing her into a loveless marriage

• In her twisted mind, Voldemort also gave her a gateway to freedom, as no one else could ever tell her what to do with his protection, and Voldemort would never want his best lieutenant to be out of action due to pregnancy

• She was secretly jealous of Narcissa for marrying someone she loved, but also saw her as the only remaining sister and family she could confide in
