This Home of Mine

How had it come to this?, Aviloh asked himself as the argument around him began to get louder. Somehow he had known it would all end horribly one day. He just had hoped it would take a little longer. He only had himself to blame for this, he thought as his eyes fearfully scanned the crowd that was slowly gathering around them.

There at the sidelines stood U‘khaya with a gleeful expression on her face. She knew this would happen, he realised. But A’viloh wasn’t the kind of person to blame her for what happened…

U‘khuba‘s twin sister had always been following the boys around even when they all had still been kids. She had been a brave and stubborn little girl, maybe a little mean sometimes but not more so than her brother. A‘viloh had always thought she was following them because of Khuba - twins being inseparable or something. Never had he imagined the reason would be Laqa instead.

Of course he could have guessed it. Everyone loved Laqa! Apparently Khaya wasn’t an exception in this matter.

That evening - before the argument - A‘viloh had waited for quite some while by the pond. They had always used to hide there when they still had been kids, every time the other boys had stirred trouble or teased the girls.

By now it was one of the spots Laqa and him sometimes used as meeting points when they sneaked out of the settlement together. But today the other Miqo’te had arrived so late, A‘viloh had already started to wonder if something had happened.

“There you are!”, Aviloh said relieved as Laqa finally appeared just when he was about to go searching for him. “I was already worried. Did something happen?”

The blonde Miqo’te made an annoyed face. “Just Khaya happened…”

A’viloh didn’t understand. “Khaya? What’s wrong with her?”

“Everything apparently!”, Laqa exclaimed disgruntled, which made A‘viloh even more confused.

Laqa sighed.

“She waylaid me on my way outside.”, he explained but couldn’t help to look a little angry still. “Started talking some nonsense about how impressed she was about the quarry from our last hunt and how it is a shame that it isn’t me leading the tribe instead of father.”

A’viloh furrowed his brows, still not quite connecting the dots. Laqa grimaced. “Then she threw herself at me and tried to kiss me.”

“She what?”, A‘viloh exclaimed a little louder than intended, with a mix of shock and disbelief on his face.

Laqa raised his hands in a calming manner. “Don’t worry! I of course told her that I am not interested. Like I ever would be anyway! We may be almost the same age but she is still my mother’s sister. What was she even thinking, Vi?”

A‘vi shrugged but couldn’t help to remember something one of Laqa’s sisters had once told him. “Lamana mentioned that Khaya didn’t agree with some of U‘odh‘s opinions. She thought her and Khuba were still mad with him because of their father…”

“That makes no sense! They have no reason for that! It’s not like father threw them all out!”, Laqa said annoyed. “Alone because of mom he wouldn’t have! Anyway, grandpa had been old already, if not father then someone else would sooner or later have challenged him. All of them were always treated equally. Why would they be mad?”

A’viloh gave another shrug and smiled weakly. “Maybe it’s none of that and she really just is a little in love with you… I can’t blame her…”

Laqa lightly glared at him, as if he wanted to say “this isn’t funny”, but couldn’t help to grin himself.

“It’s still absurd!”, he said while shaking his head.

“You think?”, A‘viloh asked and chuckled. “I wouldn’t be surprised if half the village was secretly in love with you.”

Laqa made a sound somewhere between an annoyed huff and a suppressed laugh. Then he stretched out a hand for A‘viloh to take. As A‘viloh did so Laqa pulled him closer and wrapped his arms around him. “Too bad for them that the only one I will ever love is you.”

All too willingly - too carelessly! - A’viloh melted into the other Miqo’te’s embrace. Laqa saying things like this never failed to give him a warm and fuzzy feeling. Just as much as Laqa kissing him always made his heart skip a beat and his mind go silent.

Gently A‘viloh wrapped his arms around the taller Miqo’te’s neck, like an invitation to pull him even closer and deepen their kiss, when suddenly a sound appeared nearby. Their ears, currently slightly drooped, attentively shot up and both Miqo’te instinctively turned to see where the unexpected sound had come from.

Without doubt, there by one of the larger rocks nearby, eyes wide and mouth agape in disbelief, stood a Miqo’te girl with dark hair and bright blue eyes.

Khaya!

This was the exact moment A‘viloh knew he was in trouble.

“Khaya…”, Laqa was the first one to find his voice again. He sounded almost as if he wanted to reassure a shy animal, but it only made the girl unfreeze, whirl around and run away. “No! Khaya, wait!”, Laqa called and ran after her. He probably wanted to explain, wanted to beg her to stay silent, but A‘viloh knew it was too late already.

With his heart hammering against his chest and his thoughts racing he stood there and just watched them go. For a second he wondered what he should do now. But he had nowhere else to go, probably no one else who would defend him apart from Laqa. So slowly he followed them back to the settlement, wishing he could just vanish into thin air.

***

“Tell me this isn’t the thruth.”, U‘odh demanded from his son. His voice was still relatively calm but there already was a tone in it, a kind of threatening sound that also reflected on his face.

For a moment the thought crossed A’viloh’s mind, that Laqa could simply have lied. That he simply could have denied everything. Maybe, just maybe, his father would have believed him.

But that wasn’t like Laqa.

“It’s true!”, Laqa admitted and turned his face a little bit to look at A‘viloh, who so far had stood a few steps behind him, trying to stay out of U’odh’s attention. “A‘vi and I are a couple.”

A murmur went through the crowd and somehow even A‘viloh felt surprised to hear him say this so bluntly for everyone to hear. U‘odh laughed, but it lacked any humor. A’viloh already looked very uncomfortable but when the nunh’s sharp eyes landed on him, he almost flinched away and cast his eyes down to the ground.

“That weak little welp?!”, U’odh spat out, speaking to his son but still looking and pointing at A’viloh. “What do you want with him?! He’s good for nothing!”

A’viloh had never quite understood this either. There were so many better people than him and still Laqa had chosen him instead. Carefully A‘viloh glimpsed up at Laqa and could see his whole body tense up against the nunh’s insulting words. Stubbornly Laqa stared into his father’s eyes and growled.

“Don’t you dare to speak of him like that! I don’t care if he can fight or not, he is kind and wonderful and I love him!”

But U‘odh simply shook his head and laughed condescendingly.

“Love?! Don’t be foolish now… you know nothing about love.”

That had been too much for Laqa.

Usually no one dared to speak up against U‘odh no matter how harsh his words sometimes were. But Laqa, in a way just like his father and in another just like his mother, never had known how to back down. The anger about the situation and also about his father didn’t help, so his next words sounded especially blunt and sharp, more so than he probably truly thought.

“More than you! You wouldn’t recognise love if it stood right in front of you! Because you are just a bitter resentful man who doesn’t know how to love!”

Shocked gasps sounded from the crowd and everybody stared at either Laqa or his father, waiting for a reaction. For a few long seconds both remained silent. But while Laqa just stared at the older Miqo’te with a stubborn, unyielding face, the nunh‘s face changed slowly but entirely. All the mockery faded from his face and instead his expression turned to an angry snarl.

A‘viloh knew he would only end up in the crossfire but if he didn’t do something now, they would certainly fight and that was the last thing any of them could want. He didn’t really know what to say but scraped up all his bravery and stepped forward a bit. Trying to divert their attention from each other he spoke up, still quiet but clearly audible against this deadly silence.

“Please stop, I don’t —“

But U’odh wasn’t going to listen to whatever he had to say. Furiously he whirled towards him and stepped closer with wild rage in his eyes.

“No one allowed YOU to speak, you pathetic little weakling! Get out of my sight, you are none of my kin and I never want to see your whiny face again! You are nothing but a parasite and I have suffered your presence here for long enough! Begone! You are no longer welcome here!”

Of course. A‘viloh had expected this but it still hurt to hear these words out loud. He tried not to cry but already looked quite miserable already, even without tears. U’odh however wasn’t done with him yet.

“Oh, how I regret the day I allowed you to stay here! I wish you had just died with the rest of your miserable family!”, the nunh hissed and looked as if he was about to attack A‘viloh with more than just hurtful words.

With tears in his eyes A‘viloh shivered in fear and flinched away. He had never seen U’odh so furious before. But before the man could loose his self-control entirely and really tried to strike at him, Laqa stepped between them and protectively wrapped his arms around A‘viloh.

Instantly everything went silent again. Everyone seemed shocked by what had happened or what U’odh had just said. Even the nunh himself seemed stunned when he saw his son’s disgusted face, staring at him. But U‘odh was not the kind of man to give in or admit his failures. Instead he quietly but sharply said, “Don’t look at me so. My word is final. He is none of our family and I want him gone by tomorrow.”

With a strange mixture of defiance and sadness Laqa looked at his father for a moment, before he spoke.

“In that case I don’t consider you my family any longer either. A place where A‘vi isn’t welcome I cannot call my home. If you send him away, I will go with him!”

Briefly a shadow crossed his face but then U’odh looked entirely unfazed again.

“Where would you even go?”, he asked and shook his head dismissively.

“Anywhere but here...”, Laqa replied coldly and turned to A’viloh. “Let’s go and pack our things.”

All of this had happened so suddenly A’viloh still could not quite believe it. No matter what U’odh had said, for him this place was still his home and the people here the closest thing he had to a family. He didn’t want to leave.

“What? Now?”, he asked and pleadingly looked to Laqa, hoping that there was some way to make everything right after all.

“Yes! I’m sure we can stay with the Flames for one night and tomorrow morning we leave.”

His decision seemed to be final, just as U’odh’s. What was A’viloh supposed to do against that?

Laqa made a point of taking A‘viloh’s hand so everyone could see it and knew to whom his loyalty belonged. Slowly he let his gaze wander over the crowd of curious faces giving them one last chance to speak up but they all remained silent.

With a last disappointed look at his father he turned around and walked away, unconcerned that they all stared at them as they left.

I've been seeing lots of takes lately with people feeling hatred towards part 2 Speedwagon for being a greedy capitalist who probably exploited people and done some shady stuff to become wealthy because there was '''no way he could have become rich just from oil money'''... thoughts?

it's so disappointing to see some bad takes about the Speedwagon Foundation being some "acshually nasty organization" and about Speedwagon supposedly becoming some heartless rich man popping up again. And like, I shouldn't even be surprised at this point considering how the average "Jojo fan" mistreats Part 1 and 2 and alllll the misinformation they love to spread about them and about some characters in particular, often bastardizing them into wildly out of character versions and pretending those fanons are canon for whatever reason (being Speedwagon one of the characters that gets bastardized like that the most), sometimes just to make Blorbo Of Their Choice look better by throwing every other character under the bus, sometimes just because people can't be bothered to pay attention to the og if there are no punching ghosts on sight (and even then, Jojo parts featuring stands get misinterpreted a lot too).

This is gonna be long, so let me start by saying that if y'all really believe that Speedwagon somehow became some nasty ass rich man, then you're completely misinformed and you (and I say "you" in general and not specifically you anon) might benefit from rereading/rewatching the source material and actually paying attention to the plot and details this time.

Like, I've seen people assuming that the Foundation only researched the stone mask and eventually stand stuff, and completely forgetting that one of the literal main goals and also one of the biggest things the Foundation does is seeking for the betterment of the planet as a whole (preserving nature, wildlife, etc) as well as for the betterment of medicine and health care, actually seeking for the best for all humankind, this in addition to all the secret branches it has for the research of supernatural phenomena like stands, stone masks, pillar men, and so on in order to prevent as many incidents with them as possible and prevent the loss of as innocent lives as possible.

Sure, the people working for those latter branches might get into deep trouble sometimes whenever some jerk with a stone mask or a stand starts some shit, but, another thing jojo fans tend to conveniently forget is that those employees are working for the secret/non-public branches of the Foundation. We as audience know about them because we are let into seeing them working as part of the narrative, however, the public in general within the story DO NOT KNOW about the existence of those branches or what they do. Pillar men, stone masks, stands and the research around them are kept in secret in order to prevent any sorts of chaos and ensuing panic, among other safety reasons.

The people working for those branches are specialized or at least have some prior knowledge on those fields they work in (you'd think it is a MUST considering they are being let in on sensitive information that could be super detrimental for the planet and for humankind if it fell in the wrong hands), meaning that those employees already know and are fully aware of the kind of stuff they're going to deal with there from the start. They weren't deceived into it, and the fact that the employees remain loyal to Speedwagon from start to end and respect and follow his will, even long after his death, denotes that there was some deep and mutual respect and appreciation there, something you can't earn through exploitation, and definitely something these people wouldn't have done had Speedwagon been the heartless tyrant rich old man some people with a lack of media literacy want to believe and make others believe he was.

If people paid just a wee bit more attention to earlier Jojo parts, they would have realized it was all spelled out from the beginning too! Speedwagon expressly states from the very start his disgust and hatred towards the rich, being the Joestars the only exception to that due to them being genuinely kind persons, unlike most other wealthy people out there. He was also implied to have been dirt poor for most of his life and was also stated to have lived in the slums at least up to PB's main timeline. There were never any indications or signs that showed that he ever betrayed those roots of his by siding with the rich against the poor over the years. Instead, he's been using his funds to make the whole world a better place for everyone, not only by improving health care and access for all people as well as the environment (which would actually show a sense of duty from him as he is counteracting whatever negative impact his oil company may have had on the planet), but also providing all the aid he can against supernatural threats.

And not just that, but he's also kept some of his connections with the crime world over the years. However, rather than using those connections for selfish goals, he makes use of them to workaround the system in cases like Lisa Lisa's, where he used all those influences he had to help her go successfully into hiding after killing the zombie that murdered George (an undercover zombie that was actually a higher up within the army and who everyone believed to be a regular human, hence their chasing after her to make her pay for that "crime" she had supposedly committed). Additionally, if you know anything about big companies and organizations, you'll know that the law is also not always there to protect regular people, and sometimes, it will cater to the more profitable goals, as well as some businessmen actively being shady af and "hindering" their rivals for their own benefit. The Speedwagon Foundation being an organization that vouches and actively works for the wellbeing of people would have probably ruffled countless feathers among those who seek for a personal gain, to say the least (think of the hijackers that tried to kidnap him, as shown in the flashback in BT, i.e). This is also where those connections he keeps with criminals come into play, as there are never any mentions about Speedwagon doing shady stuff through them nor using them to pursue some personal goal, which hints at the fact that he keeps and uses those nexus as means of protection against actual enemies. Defense rather than offense, if you will.

Also, lets not forget that Speedwagon found his reason to change his ways when he met Jonathan, and that a lot of the things the Foundation does are things Jonathan himself would have gone into had he not passed away (the archaeological research, the deep studying of the stone mask -which eventually led to the discovery of the pillar men just in time before their awakening-, all in order to prevent more incidents like the whole thing with Dio from happening, and so on). It's downright silly to think Speedwagon would even think of betraying Jonathan and his memory by using not only the second chance he received from Jojo himself, but also using the literal monument Speedwagon built to honor the deep bond and mutual affection the two had back when Jonathan was alive for some selfish goal.

And also, lets not forget how disgusted he was with Dio and every single vile thing he did to everyone. Do you really think he would want to follow a path similar to his, in which people are just another step for him to walk all over?? If so, then you sure are completely wrong about who Speedwagon really is like.

Those "he became some nasty capitalist lol", pretending that Spw became some heartless and selfish wealthy man along the way for no reason, all despite the heaps of constant evidence the canon has presented, even long after Speedwagon's passing away in the story, that shows that that was never the case only go to show that people are lazy and that paying attention to the story and the details in it is just something some Jojo fans will actively refuse to do and then will make the worst bullshit takes up about it.

Also?? People do realize that it's possible to become rich and not be some piece of shit?? Like, sure, I do agree that most wealthy people irl ARE shit and scummy af, but there will always be a few exceptions, you just don't always see them because the real kind ones don't go around telling everyone about every single kind act they do, they just put their money to good use to make their own employees lives better, or invest/donate money every chance they get to some organization of their trust and so on. Adding to this, do you all even realize people can't just throw money out of the window and that as a business person you always need to keep some capital to actually make your business thrive and so you can continue helping other people out in this case where BIG SUMS of money are being put to use in favor of actual civilians and people from all walks of life??

((Edit to add yet another Very Obvious display that Speedwagon never sided with the rich, not even in his older years: Smokey Brown! The kid is literally a mirror of Speedwagon’s own younger self in that both were criminals from the streets in a large city (London in Spw’s case, NY in Smokey’s), immersed in crime and poverty and most likely having to resort to crime as a mean to survive in a society that was even more classist (and also racist, and this can actually be seen in BT when one of the mafiosos starts spewing shit towards Smokey due to his skin color) than it is nowadays, both having no known parents or family either and having been most likely orphaned/abandoned. Had Speedwagon been this nasty ass rich man, he could have simply ignored Smokey or treated him poorly, or could have even turned him to authorities, considering Smokey’s criminal record just for the sake of “preventing him from stealing from him” or whatever. There was literally nothing Spw could benefit himself from by keeping Smokey around like he did, which is a core trait in abusive/exploitative people. However, he never did any of that. Instead, and despite the reigning classism and racism at the time, Speedwagon along with Erina always embraced Smokey from the start and basically became his godparents, never letting the kid go back to his life in the streets, providing him with everything he needed and making sure he received a proper education, which was something very few people of color (black people, specially) could receive. And yet, Speedwagon and Erina made it happen, very likely using some of Spw’s influences to allow Smokey go to the school (and eventually college too) of his choice without any stigma or trouble at all and covering all expenses for him. -end of edit-))

If this was, idk, the Metal Gear series or some other media that revolves around the topic of politics, then the whole "cRaPiTaLisM!!! >:O" thing would have some weight and be plausible as it directly impacts the main plot of the story. But here?? In Jojo's?? Where the main focus as stated by it's author himself is the strength of the human spirit overcoming obstacles in the face of actual evil??? Try harder.

And, before I get That One Type of fans yelling at me that "people don't just get rich without exploiting people in real life!!"… do you guys realize we're talking about animanga series where vampires, funky stone masks with spooky powers, pillar men, stands, people who can use some ancient sunpowered martial art, plankton that can turn into a sentient person, and so on can happen, right? And yet I don't see anyone whining that "tHaT DoEsN'T hApPeN iRl!!".

And like, if this whole claim stems from disliking Speedwagon, just say you don't like him and move the fuck on. You don't need to try to justify your disliking for him or for ANY other characters, let alone making up wildly out of character bullshit about them to try to prove to yourself and to everyone else why according to you the character is "bad". I promise you it is not a big deal to simply not vibe with a character.

#the lack of media literacy among some jojo fans is overwhelming i swear #its sad to see people constantly and completely misreading and bastardizing speedwagon into something he's not #like all those LAME takes about him being some soft pure uwu innocent scaredy bby #or the 'topkek reddit funni meemz XD!' abt him that some ppl lazily/unironically take as canon #or these silly and also wildly ooc takes on the foundation and him in part 2 #really wish more people took the time to actually see and appreciate his character for what he actually is #sorry this got so long but i wanted to get this out of my chest bc i too saw one of those posts again and was like #BRU not this shit AGAIN #also.if i sound bitter its because i am genuinely sick and tired of the speedwagon slander and people completely misreading him #and turning him into something he is not and often completely ignoring him bc of that fanon image ppl have made of him #along with completely disregarding the fact that he's actually one of the most important characters in all jjba #and instead pretending or wrongly assuming that he was just some 'hehe funni meme uwu guy'#jjba #long post #bit of a vent / rant too #robert e o speedwagon #speedwagon #jojo #character analysis: speedwagon #phantom blood #battle tendency #speedwagon foundation #jojo's bizarre adventure #analysis: speedwagon foundation #character analysis #meta #ok to rb

Little tangent about my journey with the QSMP fandom <3

First, I'm going to preface this post by saying, I wouldn't have been interested in the server, been introduced to so many communities, languages, and cultures, if not for the eggs and the admins. So, I initially gained interest when I saw a lot of people posting about Tallulah and.... Misclick duo (lmao) so I decided to check out what everybody was talking about mid-April 2023.

I watched Philza's April 29 VOD- "last" day of the eggs. Absolutely loved Chayanne and Phil planting potatoes because of Phil telling stories about Techno. Cried like a baby after. So now I'm invested.

I downloaded Twitch the next day, in time for the Brazilians' arrival. My main pov continued to be Philza, so I was a Crow for quite a while, mostly into the summer. I started watching Cellbit when the mystery really started to ramp up by the end of May.

Then Bobby died and everyone's reactions made me sob for like, a week.

Summer was probably the most time I've had fun watching QSMP. I don't know why, but it was such a good era, despite the discourse about elections lmao. I began to gravitate more towards watching Foolish's pov and when Jaiden began streaming every day, I had her as my main pov as well. Shoutout to the doozers and Jaiden mains <33

Then, Tina and Bagi arrived and I began religiously watching them as well for, uh. Reasons 🏳️‍🌈 XD. Got invested in Bagi's lore and then everybody became really busy during October so Bad and Bagi were pretty much the only ones consistently on the server XD.

Then, and only then, did I hear little whispers about q!Badboyhalo's soul vultures and possible death? And I got really really interested then. And that's where the Ghostie era started lmao. Up to now, Bad is the only person I'd watch consistently and keep up to date on his lore because well, after the soul vultures arc and especially Sweet Despair, you can't really go back to anything else after that you know?

Of course, without the QSMP, I don't think I would've discovered/re-discovered so many wonderful streamers like Fit, Tubbo, Étoiles, Mouse, or Baghera to name a few.

The past few weeks have probably been the shittiest and most anxiety-ridden weeks for me ever. But, I don't want all the negativity and anxiety to overshadow what was, for me, THE most special and unique fandom experience I've ever had. The QSMP is such a special project, there's no doubt about that. I want that to continue.

So, if this post can offer any sort of positivity and relieve some of the dread we've all been feeling, to any person from any community, that would mean so much to me already.

Send love to and the utmost kindness and care to any and all ex admins, and continue to show your support for the current admins too please. It will take a long time for this to be resolved, and it's terrifying I know, but all we can do is support each other and wait.

Remember to always take care of yourselves and no matter what happens, it always rains before you can see a rainbow right? So, in other words, things will become worse before they can get better. Idk what will happen with the QSMP, but know that life becomes better eventually. No matter the outcome, you'll be ok. We'll all be ok. <333

Edit: oh my god I just realized qsmp 1st anniversary isn't tomorrow. Today is the 20th djrjtbrbebd

There's still 2 days but um everything else I said is still true XDDDD

#qsmp #Everybody seems really down lately- for valid reasons of course #so I just wanted to share a little positivity on the tag for now #since QSMP's 1st anniversary is tomorrow #I want to talk a little bit about my QSMP journey #and I'm also inviting anybody else who sees this to share their journey as well- if you want to do so #sorry for the very long post guys #i just have alot of thougts i wanted to share #and hopefully shed some light among the discourse yk?#this sounds like a goodbye its not XD

Howdy Queenie! Hope you’re feeling better on this lovely (and by lovely I mean hot - at least in the UK) Sunday.

Can I please request some climbing chrash fluff pretty please??

Thank you and hope you’re doing well ❤️

"So here's the thing...you two know there's no such thing as pulling one over on me, right?"

No sooner had they joined up around the back of the car, Chris and Ashley traded a look Josh did not much care for - no sir, no ma'am, he didn't appreciate that sneaky little number at all.

"Suspicion, thy name is Josh," Ashley muttered from the corner of her mouth, snickering right along with Chris before jokingly sidling up behind Josh and covering his eyes with her hands. "I'm pretty sure, like, most people would think being taken on a secret surprise roadtrip to a place they really, really, really wanted to check out was romantic...what, you think I dragged Chris out of his cozy little basement nest and into the middle of the woods to prank you?"

"Speaking of..." Chris interrupted, "I feel like every inch of my skin is just crawling with - what's even out here, uh wood lice? - where in the name of all that is holy did you put that bug spray?"

"Wait, we're in the woo - holy shit, holy shit, are we...no way, no way you guys brought me to - " It hit Josh like a freight train, and even before he managed to push her hands away to see the sign hanging overhead, Ashley's giggle told him all he needed to know, " - the fuckin' summer camp where all those kids got murdered, oh, you shouldn't have!"

six sentence sat(or)sunday!!!

#chris-hartley #six sentence weekend #queenie writes supermassive #climbing chrash #kenziiiiiiie thank you for your well wishes!!!#im very sorry it's taken me so long to get to this one that.......it's no longer hot i would imagine #in the uk or otherwise XD its QUITE COLD HERE!!!

x - cont. from @petitexmagician

As far as Aether could think, he didn’t truly wish for a relationship on this world. For they were doomed to fail in every way possible. One day, he were gone. One day, he would leave those behind that became dear to her - too dear. The blonde did not wish to think about the bonds he tied and broke, once he was back amongst the stars. For it would hurt him far too much. However, in no way could he have ignored the man, who drew closer to Zola. Too close. The traveler had watched her for a while wrapped in silence, ignoring the screaming and wailing of a hungry Paimon, who was left unattended and alone once the star in human form skipped with quick steps to the female and the stranger upon realizing that she showed signs of discomfort.

A strong arm was wrapped around the female while he muttered those few words and took the chance of the unknown person’s surprise to shove her into the direction he had stood earlier.

“So this is why you ignored Paimon.”, a teasing grin crossed her lips, Aether only commented it by peering at his companion, before his gaze shifted back to Zola, “Are you okay? He didn’t do anything to you, didn’t he?”.

#{ Aether }#{ Aether ( Main ): Traveler from another world }#{ Queue: Reality called; it wants its sock back }#// SORRY; I wanted to reply to this since so long tbh xD #petitexmagician

What kind of music do you listen to? 👀

this is a hard question bc i listen to anything and everything XD recently ive been on a desert rock and sufjan stevens kick. been obsessed with lovin on me by jack harlow. super fucking catchy. also fucking nsync making a comeback with trolls 3 means ive had better place stuck in my head on repeat.

HELLO !!! Do you have any hcs for Rosaria ??

(ask game)

rosaria :D !!! let’s seee ….

headcanon a - what i think realistically: amazingly well at hiding her footsteps and making them soundless. fully believe she would be able to make them invisible in the snow or desert, or do the cat thing where they only have one set of footprints because they walk in the same one?

also if her polearm ever broke she would go out swinging with her knife XD.

headcanon b - what i think is hilarious: she knows venti is barbatos. she knows venti is fond of her, and mondstadt, as a whole. sometimes when she wants to have fun she will slander barbatos and see everyone’s reactions.

venti is always the first one to start howling in laughter, and then adds on.

headcanon c - heart-crushing but fun to inflict on friends: hmmmmm …. i think she takes it very personally if she can’t save or protect someone. for example, there was a child taken by treasure horders, and one of them challenged the kid to a duel. they lost. she doesn’t talk about that one much.

headcanon d - what would never work with canon but that shit is canon to me: okay not to bring up nameless bard but they would so be friends—

no but really, i think she has a soft spot for people who are unrelenting and passionate about protecting mondstadt, but would rather do it in the shadows than the spotlight. her and diluc get along, somewhat, because of this.

#also i am so sorry #i don’t have any for gunnhildr or any of the founding families :(#amos + nb + ven are the ones i think most of from that period XDD #im not quite sure if vennessa counts as a founding family?#ALSO #its really interesting that for a LONG WHILE rosaria was the only polearm user #i like to think that if someone wanted to train with a pole arm they would go to her and she would begrudgingly help them #(<- part of the reason nb would get along with rosie. he would keep asking XD.)#rosaria beloved #lantern replies #mutuals !

ʜᴀᴍɪꜱʜ ᴊᴏɴᴇꜱ:

(FC: Peter Cushing)

A work-driven and highly ambitious, difficult man, Hamish had been given his father's trading company when he was in his late-twenties and was extremely determined to expand and employ a much more bigger work-force upon the harbours of Scotland. At a early age, his father Magnus had favoured him over Callum who was his second born and firmly believed Hamish to be his successor for the company.

This had caused a great strain in Hamish and Callum's relationship that would last for the rest of their lifetime, with the two both intensely competing to win their father's affection and attention. Hamish would be impossibly arrogant and would constantly clash with Callum who would later distance himself from his sibling as the years went by. Hamish saw his younger brother as a rival and was determined with besting him as much as possible.

After the business had been handed over to Hamish and then Magnus later retiring with the insistence that his eldest expand the Jones family, Hamish would begrudgingly go on in search of a wife and would meet and marry Isobel O'Connell who was the niece of one of the deckhands upon Magnus' ship that had been gifted to Hamish.

They would later start a family together to the delight of Magnus, and Hamish would be introduced to his first son which he would proudly name David Jones. Hamish attempted the same parenting tactics upon Davy as Magnus had done long ago however to his disappointment, it only created a steadily growing resentment for each other as Davy grew older.

Five years later, Isobel would have her second child which would be Oscar. He would keep his close attention upon Davy however Hamish would have to leave for years on end to work and sail around the country which he wasn't at all furious about in the slightest. Hamish would ensure Isobel would be the one primarily taking care and teaching his two sons while he left the household.

Hamish and Isobel had hardly of a relationship at all, if anything Hamish only had married her for the sake of expanding the family tree. There was next to no love between them, and Hamish saw no potential for her working in some way for his company. Isobel would already know this when they first got engaged to one another, but kept her marriage to Hamish for the sake of her sons.

When he would be at home, Hamish would keep strict and harsh discipline whenever he would be around his children just as if he were still sailing with his crew. Just like his father, he favoured Davy over Oscar as he believed that only the eldest son could once be fit and experienced enough to take charge of the company that Magnus had once pridefully constructed.

Hamish would not allow for both Davy and Oscar to have any freedom of any kind. He would rarely allow for them to play on the beach together like they usually would, and he would forbid them from reading books that were not about nautical information or topics that Hamish disliked and disapproved of. Isobel had attempted to lessen the difficult control Hamish had over the house, but to only get either ignored or yelled at.

Hamish and Davy would constantly argue with each other much to Hamish's rage as he was dedicated to shaping Davy to be just like himself. Hamish highly disapproved of Davy's passionate desire for sailing the seas and exploring the world, and would try to crush Davy's hopes or any sign of happiness whenever he could, taking great delight in his son's misery. When Davy would disobey him in any way, Hamish would angrily strike his hand upon him many countless occasions and even on Oscar if Davy didn't manage to convince him to punish him instead.

When Davy was old enough, Hamish practically forced him into working for the company otherwise he would be disowned and Hamish would have him tossed on the streets like garbage much to Isobel's horror. He would have Davy commit to various difficult and vigorous duties on his ship, not caring that a thirteen year old wasn't suitable for such demanding tasks.

At one point, Hamish had grown so enraged and impatient with Davy's behaviour that he would soon go on to employ a strict bosun onto his ship so that Hamish could further punish his son for daring to go against him, without the knowledge of Isobel.

Callum would soon made his way back into Hamish's life one again when he had met with his older brother in London and then shortly visited the household after years of not speaking. Callum would soon find himself and his own family short out on money that they desperately needed, and requested to be employed back into the company again. Hamish would once again gloat over his brother's poor position, boasting over his success of the company.

Hamish would allow for his sibling to gain a position within the company, and had Callum join the crew of his ship that Davy and soon Oscar and then Maccus sailed upon.

When Hamish had discovered Davy one night sneaking out from their room with a small crate full of food, he would find out that his son had been meeting with a homeless boy and had been giving him food and water. Hamish was beyond enraged. It was yet another argument that lasted two whole hours, and they'd even fought about Davy's desires to sail and explore the seas once again. Hamish had zero interest or care for the homeless, if anything he believed them to be vermin just like rats or even lesser people.

Hamish had intimidated Davy once again, threatening to leave him there in London with the homeless boy known as Maccus when he would sail back to Scotland. When Davy gave no sign of pleading or fright towards the threat, Hamish would brutally backhand him and left two open wounds on Davy's left cheek that would later scar.

Unfazed by his father's action, Davy heavily protested once more and promised that Hamish would have nothing to do with Maccus when they'd finally return home. Hamish would go on to ensure that his son would remember that promise, and so allowed for Maccus to join the crew.

A few years of managing the merchant company with great success which only inflated Hamish's ego more and more, his life would soon take a dramatic change when his ship that had recently taken a large load of cargo for transportation from Scotland would be viciously attacked by two pirate ships.

Hamish desperately attempted to steer the ship, trying to flee from their incoming cannons with a determined effort. However a cannon ball suddenly struck the ship's railing on his side, blasting pieces and shrapnel of wood straight towards his direction. Hamish would be brutally knocked out from the impact, and wounded from the explosion.

With the captain no longer at the helm to give orders, Callum would quickly take leadership and aided his crewmembers in the brutal battle and he would lead them to victory as the pirates later would flee from their powerful resistance.

At first when Callum had finally made it back to Hamish after the fight, he had assumed for his older brother to have perished but after checking for his breathing and discovering that Hamish was still alive, Callum would take him into his cabin to lay him on his bunk and tended to his wounds as best as he could.

Hamish would recover from his injuries and trauma months later, but his hearing had been terribly damaged from the sudden blast from the cannon to the point where he became partly deaf with a distant and constant ringing noise in his left ear. He gained a limp he could not control and he had to use a cane for assistance on getting around. He couldn't be able to return to sailing, and he would resentfully hand his company to Callum.

He would later discover that his youngest son Oscar had unfortunately been killed during the fight, but he expressed no sadness or remorse for what had occurred. However, he had stated his anger over the attack, enraged that much of his skilled crew that had loyally served the company for decades, had perished by the hands of filthy pirates. Once again, this would cause another fiery argument with him and his now only son, Davy.

Hamish would retire early and became a farmer alongside Isobel, and he would spend the rest of his life time on land. He would force Isobel to place her pipe organ upstairs in the attic after growing sick with the loud music.

Callum would occasionally meet with him to discuss company matters at home, but not much notable things occurred in Hamish's life any longer. He would be aware of his son becoming a far greater sailor than he ever was, and would be notified of what Davy would be doing on his sails from the letters that Isobel monthly received from their son.

Hamish once again shared of his displeasure of Davy exploring the seas and not serving the company, but very surprisingly he was impressed upon how far his son's skills had grown over the years.

He would eventually pass of old age in his bedroom soon after his wife Isobel had died from a disease, and they would be both be later buried near to their home.

Hamish didn't care much for his family, making his job of being a merchant sailor his priority over anything that involved being with his wife and sons. He was brought up as a spoiled and arrogant man, much that had to do with his own father Magnus' parenting, and would constantly try to best his younger brother Callum.

He had only engaged and married Isobel for the sake of her bearing children for him, and was mostly distant from her. Hamish had barely a relationship with Isobel, and only kept her around for her responsibility as a wife and a mother to his two sons.

Hamish would set his eyes upon Davy as soon as he was born, and was determined for his first son to end up to be just like him. He was involved in Davy's life as much as he could, and had even planned ahead for him. All for the sake of continuing the family business of course. He didn't expect for Davy to end up disliking him more and more as the years went by.

Hamish would find Davy's interest in the sea and discovering areas that none had found before to be foolish and fantasy-like, and intensely prohibited him from following any such mindless dreams of his which would ultimately failed later in life.

With Oscar being born, Hamish would pay little to no attention to his second son. He saw no future of Oscar making an impact upon his company, or taking charge of it when he was old enough. Hamish would leave it up to his wife to look after him when he was away sailing with Davy. Oscar would sometimes get upon his father's dangerous nerves, but not up to the extent of Davy and so Oscar never really received much punishment from Hamish.

Nevertheless, Hamish would still believe Oecar to be worth of nothing and had no valuable skills he could provide which only added fuel to the furious fire between Davy and Hamish.

Rarely did he ever see his eldest again after the tragedy of losing Oscar, Davy would go on to achieve his goals and fulfil his dreams of sailing the seas. Hamish would only give one last glance towards Davy when his son would return home to pay his mother a visit for his fortieth birthday...

Hamish had been slowly making his way up the squeaking staircase with one steady hand on the railing and the other held tight around his cane when he had heard the door gently swing open with a long creak, he turned his head slowly towards the sound and spotted a tall figure stepping into the house.

Halting halfway up the stairs, his grey eyebrows rose with slight surprise.

It would reveal to be his son, David Jones.

He had grown much taller, with the age making itself early upon his face and his eyes bright as though he'd seen all of the gorgeous everlasting sea. Davy's dirty blonde hair was lightly curled down to his shoulders, with a growing beard upon his chiseled jaw. His cheekbones were high and more defined on his face. A far cry from the young, optimistic boy who obsessed over the ocean's mysterious secrets from decades ago.

Davy was dressed with a rich ocean blue coat with a golden trim and a crimson patterned waistcoat, a large navy hat would complete his elegant appearance along with a thick brown belt tied around his waist which held a striped sash.

He appeared much differently from the last time Hamish had last set his old eyes upon him, and the two could only stare at each other with no words spoken between them.

Just an untelling stare from father to son.

They would both hear Isobel in the next room calling out for her son in a joyful greeting, and Davy would quickly turn away to head towards his mother's direction as if he didn't see his aged father in the first place. Like he had merely seen a ghost from his past.

Hamish would watch his son walk away and exit the room, and he then continued taking his slow steps up the staircase.

Unaware of that moment being the last they would ever see each other...

ɪꜱᴏʙᴇʟ ᴊᴏɴᴇꜱ:

(FC: Billie Whitelaw)

Isobel was far much more kinder and warm-hearted than her husband. She grew up in a loving household but her parents would then perish at sea when their ship would capsize from the rogue waves. Isobel would be passed into the care of her uncle Finn when she was fifteen, and grew up under his care.

Finn worked as a deckhand on board Magnus Jones' ship and was away for extended amounts of time, leaving her to fend for herself for most of her early life.

Isobel would be alone at her uncle's small home and grew up by herself with a few friends to keep her company, but she had a tended farm to keep her busy and well fed. Her uncle would return home, and would attempt to make it up to her for the time that they were apart by helping her with their farm and going on walks together. He'd tell her all about his sails and what he would get up to during his duties and so on.

Finn would go on to buy a pipe organ for her after hearing her desire to learn a musical instrument, and she was overwhelmed with happiness when Finn revealed it to her. She would spend many days gladly practicing and playing it.

Nearly a decade later, Finn would return to sail once again under the new leadership of Hamish Jones and he would find out that his captain was searching for someone to engage.

Finn realised that if something should happen to him at sea just like the tragedy that took Isobel's parents, then his niece surely wouldn't be able to stay in that house any longer and she didn't have any sort of income either. He would offer his niece for marriage to Hamish, and his captain would eagerly accept.

After giving the news to Isobel, she was at first angered that her uncle had made the offer to someone that they had barely knew. She was highly apprehensive over being married to a complete stranger, but after Finn's heavy explaining over how she'd have completely nothing if he should die at sea, Isobel was mostly convinced to accept Hamish's future proposal to her.

She would be in likely good hands and she would be married to the head of a very financially successful company, and there would no be threat of Isobel dying poor and utterly alone.

Weeks later, Isobel would be married to Hamish and she would move to his large and wealthy home near the sea. She would continue her farm work on his land, and had much more duties to commit to which she wasn't particularly disappointed about. If anything, she enjoyed all the new tasks that were handed to her.

She would unsurprisingly discover Hamish's unpleasant personality as the days with him passed. Isobel didn't enjoy hearing his arrogance and hot-headedness when she was in his company, and learned that he didn't have any sort of fondness for her which she was greatly saddened to discover. Isobel would distract herself from the painful feelings by taking walks on the beach and paying close attention to her duties in the house.

She had her pipe organ brought with her when she moved, and would continue to play it and write sheets of music in her spare time.

Eventually, she would bear her first child for Hamish and he would give him a name which would be David Jones. Isobel devoted the whole of her time looking after and caring for Davy, she felt incredible fondness for her son and loved him so much. She made it her priority to look after and tend to her son over the years he was growing up.

Isobel would take him to the beach where they would both play on the sand and in the water when it would be warmer weather, and to her delight her son would begin taking his first steps upon soft sand when he grew into a toddler. Isobel would inform Hamish over Davy's upbringing whenever his father would return home.

She would then go on to teach Davy how to speak and how to write, reading books to him and comforting whenever he couldn't fall asleep at night with a soft lullaby.

Her uncle Finn would be delighted to meet Davy when he was allowed to visit her, and he would happily talk to him all about sailing and the ocean until he needed to return to his job.

Isobel would then again bear another child, and this time she was able to name the baby boy herself, and she had named him Oscar. She was delighted to see Davy and Oscar get along incredibly well like two peas in a pod together, and her eldest would assist her in taking care of Oscar whenever she was busy with other household chores.

All three would continue heading to the beach together, and she would watch on with such fondness and adoration when Davy and Oscar were playing together and gifting her shells that they'd find washed up on the shores.

Eventually the simpler and happy times had to come to an end as when Hamish came home, he and Davy would never see eye to eye and Isobel would be horrified to see Hamish angrily striking his hand upon Davy on more than one occasion. She'd protect her sons as much as she was able to, but kept trying to plead with Hamish but sadly there wasn't much else to say or do as her husband wasn't really one to be convinced so easily.

She wasn't able to read to Davy and Oscar as often as she could when Hamish was home as he forbade her from reading them any books to them as he suspected that she was secretly reading them fairytales behind his back.

Isobel couldn't do much to stop Hamish from employing Davy into the company when he just turned thirteen, but pleaded with her son that it could be good for him as he'll be able to see more of the ocean that he was interested in so much. When Davy left under the strict leash of his father, she had remained at home and continued caring for Oscar who was only eight.

She and Oscar cared for each other so much, Isobel had recognized the intense favouritism and attention coming from Hamish towards Davy and she was determined to give as much love as she possibly could towards Oscar.

They'd both cook together, tend to the gardens as well as go on plenty of beach visits and walks during Davy's absence, and Isobel would happily read more books to Oscar as Hamish wasn't around to tell them off for doing so.

When Davy and Hamish eventually returned, she was greatly surprised and alarmed to see a small and very skinny boy shyly trailing close behind Davy, trying his best to not be seen by Hamish who paid zero attention to the boy.

It was quickly revealed to Isobel by Davy, that the boy was a homeless one that he had found on the streets and Davy just couldn't leave him to further starve there. He'd also named the boy Maccus since he didn't even have a name nor a family to look after him.

Isobel would then without haste, adopt Maccus as her own which would annoy Hamish but she didn't care any less, and made Maccus incredibly welcome in the household. She would parent him like she had done with Davy and Oscar, teaching him to write and read and giving him plenty of warm food to fill his belly.

One night after Maccus had arrived, Isobel would notice that Davy's back was bleeding through his shirt and she then would see two thin healing cuts upon the left of his face. As much as Davy attempted to distract her from paying more attention upon him and prying into the blood stained shirt, she would once again be mortified to see that his back was littered with long lines of cuts caused by a bosun's whip.

Isobel would find out that it all was Hamish's doing, and she would storm out the room and confront Hamish on the matter who would be completely unfazed and disregarding over the matter. When she shouted at him over the abuse towards her sons, Hamish would threaten to leave all of them on the streets to starve just like Maccus had nearly did.

Proving to be a failure, Isobel would retreat back to Davy's room and would tend to his injuries as much as she possibly could as she ignored the tears streaming down her face.

He would fall asleep in her protective arms when they both laid upon Davy's bed after Isobel had told him a tale of the untamable goddess of the sea, Calypso.

The next day, Davy would seemed to be highly interested in the pipe organ that she was playing that evening, and she would then happily begin teaching him the fantastical skill over several weeks. Both enjoying their time with each other as they both passionately talked of music. Isobel would teach Davy how to play the lullaby that she had sung to him when he was little, and it would prove that he was just as talented as his mother.

Hamish's brother Callum had then visited the household after nearly a decade of not speaking, Isobel had only met him one time and he had seemed to be far nicer company than his older brother. He and her would look after the boys after she would tell him all about his nephew's upbringing along with her uncle Finn when he would visit. She loved Callum as though he were the brother she never had, and he also shared that same protective fondness for her too.

Eventually all three of the boys had to depart with Hamish, Callum and Finn to sea, leaving Isobel once again by herself as she used to be years ago before she had children.

Isobel had greatly missed the company of her sons and found herself having frequent periods of utter sorrow as she barely had anyone to talk to. She kept to her duties in the house as well as she could, and once again distracted herself from feeling saddened to be left behind at home.

However, this would prove to be nothing compared to the event that would happen next.

One unexpected storming night, Callum would return home, along with Davy and Maccus. But Oscar wouldn't be there, or her uncle Finn.

Isobel was beyond devastated.

Callum would notify her of the brutal attack that had taken place on board Hamish's ship, and pirates had taken the lives of countless people including her young son Oscar and her uncle, and they would begin planning funeral arrangements whilst their intense mourning period had begun.

Davy had locked himself away in his room for several days as soon as he arrived home, not eating anything that Isobel would try to bring him outside his door and not communicating with anyone who attempted to speak to him, or unlocking his door. Isobel would find out from Maccus who she was comforting one rainy night that Davy had held Oscar in his final moments and hadn't left his side until he was forced to when they arrived back on land. Her heart nearly broke at the thought of such an agonizing sight.

After helping Maccus to fall asleep in his warm bed, Isobel would make her way to Davy's room to check upon him. She would knock at the door but receive no answer, but she would enter anyway after seeing that the door had been unlocked and she would discover Davy curled up on his bed, muffling his sobbing silent from the rest of the house with intense and failing determination. Isobel would lay in bed with him again, softly pulling her crying son into her arms once more.

Davy would not fight back against this, and utterly collapsed against her, bursting into yet more uncontrollable tears.

"It hurts so much..." Davy choked on his sobs, his voice completely hoarse from not speaking for days as he tried to bury his face in his mother's gown. His shaking fingers desperately holding tight against her.

"I know it does, my darling."

"Ah couldn't do anything to-- to stop it. He just came from nowhere..."

"Shh, shh it's not your doing, Davy. Do not blame yourself." Isobel shushed, her hands finding the sides of his crying face as she gently lifted his head so that she could see his eyes.

His once bright light blue eyes were bloodshot, his face was deathly pale and had seemed to have lost any joy he once had felt weeks and weeks ago. Davy looked completely drained and at a lost for everything. Like the world had crushed him and taken every bit of happiness that he held. His lips trembled, and the droplets of tears streaming from his eyes seemed to be never ending.

"But if Ah had been quicker, if Ah was at Oscar's side sooner then perhaps-- ?"

"It is not your fault, listen to me," Isobel moved her fingers through his blonde curls for comfort. "Oscar's death was beyond your doing."

"Ah was supposed to protect him, as his brother. And Ah could not even do that. Ah'm so sorry...sorry..."

Davy would eventually cry himself to sleep as Isobel continued to hold him, her heart crumbling to pieces at the sight of her son so distraught and completely broken.

Isobel would find out of her husband's terribly injured state, and would stay at his bedside a few times to keep an eye on his wounds. Even though she didn't bear any love towards him or likeness, she would still take care of him since she was his wife after all and he was the father of her children.

They would bury uncle Finn in the backyard, and they had planned to do the same with Oscar too but Davy quickly interjected and insisted upon burying his young brother upon the beach that they would spent most of their time during their childhood.

Oscar would then be then lowered into the grave on the beach, and all the Jones family would upsettingly give their goodbyes towards Oscar. Davy would remain stood upon next to the grave many hours after the family had departed, and Isobel would keep watch of him from a window inside the house.

That late night, Isobel would notice that Davy still hadn't returned and she would quickly make her way back to the beach and would discover him passed out asleep next to the grave. She then picked him up and carried him back to the house. Isobel would tuck him in his bed, with Davy sleepily protesting against her doing so but she would then sit herself down next to his bed and sing him to sleep like she had done years ago.

Six months later when Isobel would bring him a warm breakfast in the morning, she would see that Davy was not in his room and not even in the house at all. Maccus had disappeared too with no signs of them even being there except for their beds not tidy. When she would immediately question Callum upon the matter, to her panic he did not have any knowledge of where the two had gone either.

They searched the beach and then would discover Hamish's ship missing when they would investigate the nearby port. They quickly panicked once more, confronting the harbormaster on the matter. He revealed that he saw two older boys quickly heading towards the ship with a determined pace in the early morning but when he had tried to head towards them, the ship had already begun sailing away in the harbor like there was already a crew aboard.

Callum and Isobel were both at a incredulous and heartbroken loss, believing for Davy and Maccus to have ran away and taken the ship with them. Isobel and Callum would return home after all there wasn't much they could do now. They had no idea where the two could possibly sail to, and didn't know if they would come back.

But eventually, Davy and Maccus did indeed come back home and step through the front door after many weeks of Isobel and Callum worrying intensely about them. After hurriedly checking that the two were unharmed, Isobel would angrily scold them both for leaving so suddenly and without her and Callum's knowledge.

"Those horrid pirates could have come after both of you once more! They could have taken you away from me like they had done with our Oscar and Finn and Ah would have no knowledge of what happened to you for the rest of my life!"

Isobel cried with outrage, her deep blue eyes darting to meet both of the boys ones as they stared down at the ground solemnly. Their faces were mildly covered with dirt and minor cuts, and their clothes were reflecting of their faces, torn and stained as if they were living off the streets.

"How could you do this to me and Callum? Ah was beginning to believe that Ah had lost both of you! Do you not realise the great amount of care and love Ah have given you for years for you both only for you two to go off and abandon us?"

"We did not abandon you, mothah! We never could!" Davy instantly looked up to meet her tearing gaze, unknowing of his own salty tears slowly trailing down his cheeks.

"Then why did you leave and take your father's ship-- ?!"

"Because Ah wanted tah avenge my brothah Oscar!"

Isobel was silent for a few moments, taking one small step back as her eyes widened with shock from the outburst from him. She continued to stare at Davy as he turned his eyes away in intense shame and guilt, wiping his arm across his eyes as he swallowed back a sob in his throat.

"What do you mean by avenging your brother? You didn't...?" She whispered in growing denial and dread. Her stomach churned, he couldn't have...

"We sought out to find Oscar's killer, we needed a ship to find him," Maccus answered, also seeming to be equally as guilty as Davy next to him, his ashamed and watering eyes not looking at Isobel like he were terrified to see her expression.

"Maccus...no..." Isobel quietly gasped. Part of her did not want to listen in fear of what he would say.

"Davy found him, and slayed him in return for taking away our brother..."

Isobel would collapse on her knees and burst into tears, she didn't want for Davy to risk his life just so he could extract revenge upon the man who took Oscar's life. She would be furious and also horrified at the thought of Davy killing someone else. But part of her was relieved that justice was served upon the man.

She just didn't want her eldest to be the one to do it, and she feared that Davy had set himself upon a path that would be nigh impossible to escape from.

As the decades passed on after that day, many things had changed. Davy and Maccus would depart from the company to pursue their goals and gain their own ship and a crew that Isobel had discovered shortly after the two boys returned home. And Hamish would retire when he recovered, he handed the company to his brother and became a farmer with Isobel.

Callum would return home to his own family, promising to keep in touch with Isobel with letters.

Unfortunately, Isobel would have to sadly lock her pipe organ away in the attic after Hamish's intense complaining but decided to eventually gift it to Davy when he next would return home with Maccus. She kept in regular contact with them, sending and receiving plenty of letters from the two talking of their sails and Davy gifting her all sorts wooden carved figures he made during his travels which she would display at home.

She would occasionally share the letters with Hamish if he were curious, and to her complete shock he seemed to be impressed of their eldest son's skills and the far places he had sailed to.

As she grew older with her grouchy husband, she found herself struggling more and more with regular household work but was able to get around the house. One evening, Davy and Maccus would both return in time for Davy's fortieth birthday.

They were much older now, and were delighted to share all of their stories with their mother.

Isobel would be gleeful to see the two, and proud of them both and how much they had accomplished on the seas, insisting that Oscar would be incredibly proud of his older brothers as well. She would finally be able to give her pipe organ to Davy, and together one last time when Hamish was out for a walk, they played the instrument together and recalled the time where Davy was young as Isobel as his teacher.

Unknowingly, this would be the final time that they would ever see each other ever again.

Davy and Maccus would once again set sail from Scotland, pursing the Caribbean as their next great destination with Isobel's pipe organ onboard their ship.

Months later with suddenly no letters coming from Davy, Isobel would fall deathly sick one humid day after collapsing in her garden for several minutes. Hamish would then discover her and would then carry her to her bedroom and lay her to rest before contacting Callum quickly.

Callum would bring a doctor with him and Isobel would be diagnosed with a horrific parasite that had steadily turned her fingers black and gave her consistent nausea and headaches. Hamish in the meantime would distance himself away from the sight in disgust.

She would only have perhaps a few weeks or days to live, and she would then plead with Callum to notify and bring Davy and Maccus home. She hadn't received a letter from him for months and that wasn't like him to just go completely silent upon her. Isobel would attempt to send one last letter, but she had no knowledge of it making it to Davy or not.

Isobel would soon pass away in her bed from the illness, weakly begging for Callum to find and bring her two boys back home before her dying breath. She would be later buried next to her uncle Finn.

Isobel was devoted to her family, she greatly cared for her sons and she gave them so much love and appreciation for them all that their father couldn't give them. She was a kind and beautiful woman who was often lonely in her house before she became a mother and when her children went off sailing.

She once held hope for Hamish to love her like a husband was supposed to do, but she was saddened to find out that he had only married her just for her sons. But she cast aside her lingering sadness for the love of her children.

She maintained the household and kept up to her duties with intense and dedicated keenness, as she felt utterly useless if she wasn't doing something. Isobel had a passionate interest with music that Davy would later share, and would gift him the music sheets she created. Along with one certain melody that he would play for many more years.

Isobel would give the same amount of love towards both Davy and Oscar and later Maccus after seeing Hamish's favour towards the eldest which was Davy, insisting that even though their father didn't share any shed of that love, all three were incredibly loved and cared for.

Isobel was a loving mother, and would be consistently proud of her boys as they grew older. But the passing of Oscar and her uncle would make a mark upon her, as she realised that one random day they could likely be taken away from her. She had appreciated life to the fullest, even when hers was slowly fading when she was upon her deathbed.

Isobel would have no knowing of the future of Davy and Maccus, and she would go to pass on to the afterlife with her husband Hamish shortly following her months later...
