#like look obviously the narrative that ~wah no one loves fitz~ is stupid he is so very very loved by so many people#but hes taught himself that if theres a part of him others dont like or if someone can use him#then their love for him might as well not exist#and thats how most people love. it's not wrong.#he just thinks it is because hes used to being treated as an item by everyone who doesnt love him unconditionally#up to his adulthood the only person who did ever seem to love him unconditionally was patience#so he made sure to take away from her the opportunity to see something in him she'd find repulsive#--like the wit--because she didnt have the chance to fully know him#which sucks because patience is the best person in the whole series#if he'd like her know him she'd love him all the same#anyway where im going with this is after the accidental... skill coupling??#and understanding for sure and for real there is no part of him that beloved does not know and does not love anyway#that despite his love of the world in general beloved is only continuing to use him as his catalyst because it's the only way fitz lives#(the fool weeping with makeup running down his face saying he doesnt want to be a prophet he wants this to end#but he cannot watch fitz die again had ME weeping)#ANYWAY that all scared fitz shitless#'it's too much. no one can give that much' is just. devastating to me for both of them#fitz because he still cannot see himself as worthy of being loved and not used#and beloved because all he does is get shit on for what fitz demands of him#I'm so tired#and fitz has yet to notice it was the fool making sure he had food/water/fire in the tower even when they were fighting#because unconditional is unconditional. not liking at that moment is not not loving#i hate it here#also fitz violently breaking the skill connection because 'he would know my secret. he would see my deception' is absolutely crazy#repression go brr#says kenna#kenna reads rote#ALSO when the coterie was healing him and he was begging beloved through skill to not look at his heart or his mind#what the hell!!#one flesh one end bitch!!

my writing sucks but I decided that I'll actually share some of it because I found that I also get motivated by dopamine and peer pressure
the story is called "WeatherMan" and it's about a false(?) prophet and it's realistic fiction
all of these are random disconnected pieces and they are not in chronological order I'm just sharing parts I think are ok for me to share (or are likely to be scrapped anyways)
this very next one is a draft
Brief introduction to story concept: it's a story that centers around America and personal stories which vaguely revolve around the character called the Prophet
the prophet is less of a person and more a subject, a backdrop even and as the story goes on the less and less you actually see of them as their identity just devolves into the words that they say and publish
"The Prophet Will Die" is a in world fictional autobiography written by Caroline Smith from the perspective of the prophet
it's supposed to be a nothing story
there are no themes I want to convey or ideology I want to push I just wanted to explore the concept and how people would react to such an idea as a prophet and how that would develop in the world
each chapter name is a prophecy and it's date of release or date of application
the story never repeats a point of view with every chapter being from a different person or perspective
you never get to see the prophets perspective.
#i just wanted to take the idea of a prophet whos never wrong in a world with no magic#i also didnt want to make it a narative story where âoh one day their prophecies are wrong and its revealed that they were a sham!â#because thats so much less interesting then what if they were always correct#i just wanted to have fun honestly#and try and write as different as organic diverse people as physically possible#it was fun#caroline was particularly fun but the lady in the 3rd chapter is also really#real?#she feels like she lived a life#and im trying to get that into everyone#its really hard#all of this is pretty unremarkable but its all the first draft so im not that worried#ill be better one day

#itâs gay sauce#for gay people.#going post#Orv#tbh dokja I think you should just tell junghyeok everything at this point. not for gay reasons but to make things easier#these two work rlly well together when junghyeok isnât trying to kill dokja imagine how theyâd be if they were fully on the same page too#every day thereâs a new fuckin dokkaebi. where do they keep getting these guys#and why do they keep getting cuntier#A THANOS SNAP???#choosing between a thanos snap and killing the strongest incarnation. alright everyone time to speed up on the killing nirvana thing I gues#Junghyeok relying on the predictability of knowing everythingâŚ. You can take the man out of the timeloop but you canât take the timeloop ou#of the man#(I know heâs not out of his regressions but sh)#âI canât think of a way to correct thisâ junghyeok arenât you supposed to be smart? Stop being stupid#dokja gets me. thatâs why heâs also a reader#Ohhh okay weâre having a Big Talk now. good job dokja#âBut the real problem is when youâve finally managed to save the worldâ THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!!!! DOKJA GETS ME#YOU CAN TAKE THE MAN OUT OF THE TIMELOOP BUT YOU CANT TAKE THE TIMELOOP OUT OF THE MAN!#unless junghyeok kicks his regressorâs depression in the ass and learns not to rely on knowing future scenarios so much.#and theyâre on a rooftopâŚ.

Au where Murdoc runs away as a kid and ends up at the Pots' house.
#gorillaz#murdoc gorillaz#i have no idea how this would function in canon#just think itd be neat lol. i guess it would depend on what age mudz runs away at. because i like happy endings lets say he runs away#at 8. and somehow makes it to (checks notes) wherethepotslivebourough. stus what... 2 or 3? mr and mrs. pot adopt the trash gremlin#child who appears at their doorstep.#mr. pot: well honey i think we have another kid. hes grey and very sad and angry. golly i guess lets put him in therapy#and then things... go better. yknow.#mudz and stu grow up as brothers and mudz is fiercly protective of him to the point of it getting annoying. maybe hannibal figures out#where his little brother went and finds him and gets the Stern Fatherly Concern treatment too.#im sorry for the whole-ass fic in the notes but im on a role.#97 roles around and idk the boogeyman fucking kidnaps stu or some shit and knocks his eyes about and thats where the 2d nickname comes from#idk what paula would do in this au. maybe shed be a prophet for the boogeyman or something. pfkf#so to like be proper rivals with the boogeyman mudz and 2d form a band! they kidnap russel and noodle shows up like normal and then things#play out roughly as normal except mudz isnt severely traumatized and is able to be a proper unhinged leader as he was destined to be.#... you think this is bad#i have 2 other aus in a similar vein to this lmao#which i will discuss if prompted#~ europa#cursing in tags

there's something incredibly funny about the dynamic between me, fandomed your bible made them queers but has no actual extreme opinions about christianity because i think it's all made up and you can believe in whatever pleases you, and my best friend, somewhat orthodox (with a natural hatred for the church any actual christian should have), very lowkey and respectful towards everything, frowns at me when i slander the apostle john, but straight up believes with his whole chest paul was the antichrist and will argue with your 80 year old christian grandmother about it
#đ§
#AND I CANT EVEN THROW IT BACK AT HIM WHEN HE CALLS /ME/ A HERETIC CAUSE LOWKEY? YEAH.#we hate paul. if paul has 100 haters i am one of them if paul has 10 haters i am one of them if paul has 2 haters i am one of them if paul#has one hater i am dead and it's my friend#''if youre mad at paul you should be mad at peter'' LEAVE PETER ALONE his rabbi just got crucified#mans was going through it its all paul's evil scheming#im mad at peter for other things. like hating women.#but fuck paul#peter was there he went through it he knows all about jesus#yknow what paul was doing while jesus was getting crucified instead ? killing the first christian martyr#and then he just went on to spew some bullshit and say that jesus came to him in a dream and told him so#while jesus' BROTHER was like ''actually thats bullshit he'd never say that''. and paul was like no he did <3 im a prophet <3#and then went on to spew more bullshit#and im not talking random obscure christian bullshit americans would create a whole new dogma over that doesnt even matter im talking#harmful bullshit#im talking ''hey jesus came to me in a dream and said we should convert everyone to christianity or they'll go to hell''#and james was like ''hey i dont think jesus said that exactly''#and paul was like ''no he did <3''#i fucking hate paul

sometimes i feel almost inclined to judge people for figuring out shit about themselves in weird ways, but then I remember that i figured out a very important thing about myself due to a dream I had after having a mental breakdown in late 2017.
#personal#it was something i had been considering for a while. the dream was just the catalyst for me going#'yup i think thats what it is'#like some sort of prophetic vision

I might just get a little mean when Firestar is picking deputies in my hyporewrite.... first he picks Whitestorm, who dies in the BloodClan battle. Then he picks Longtail, who gets blinded and steps down for his own comfort. Then he picks Graystripe who is his bestie and he's like "Okay, he's proved himself, he's grown as a person and can handle this and I want my best friend by my side" aaaaand then he gets taken away by the twolegs during the forest destruction. (alternatively this happens with Sandstorm, but idk. Kinda wanna keep Millie in there.) He refuses to pick a deputy, but once they're at the lake, he feels like he must for the sake of stability, so he appoints Brackenfur. Who dies a few moons later to the badger attack alongside his sister Cinderpelt, protecting his laboring mate Sorreltail in the nursery. And after that, StarClan comes down, shoves Brambleclaw in his face, and is like "you HAVE to choose this guy, it is only right to honor tradition". And since Brambleclaw did lead them to the lake, he figures it is appropriate even if he's ineligible... and then Brambleclaw participates in his assassination attempt with Hawkfrost.
#tbh. no idea how the hawkfrost scene will go bc i wanna revamp hawkfrost entirely and give moth and tawny more to do here#idk how though#i want him to live of course and I want Bramble to still be deputy in the end and be in a position of power#and canon fire just going ''lol i know you were just saying psych'' feels dumb#also i want mothwing to kill hawkfrost in some way. maybe she sabotages the fight by poisoning hawk beforehand#saying that she was giving him herbs to ''strengthen him'' or something...#also like the idea of her being involved in the dark forest training somehow. idk tho bc i cant see her being a fighter in there#maybe shes manipulated into being tiger's unwilling prophet and this is what disillusions her to starclan#and what makes her refuse to reach out to them in the moonpool. they let it happen. do they not care for her because shes a rogue?#the sign also disillusions her bc thats iconic thats the main thing but i dont see her straight up not believing ghosts are real#so i may retool that to ''i dont believe in starclan in that they cant control shit and i do not care for them so i wont engage.''#rewrite au

All in all I'm angry because I sounded like a moron when I had to give my statement at four in the fucking morning after having to pull an immediate switch from day shift to night shift on short notice and like. Maybe 30 minutes of sleep. Other shit aside.
#''tell me what happened'' ''fuck man it was 3 in the morning and im running solely on nicotine and caffeine and hopes of better days idk''#** not actual statement#but its how im feeling rn#the worst part is that i really DONT KNOW what the fuck happened and thats why i freaked out after repeatedly being asked by customers#all i know is the guy came in and stole a chocolate and sat in his car for an inordinate amount of time#and that the vibes were fucking AWFUL#then when the one cop showed up there was like ten minutes of something or other and then two friggin more showed up#AGH.#ANYWAY. im venting here because i dont really have anywhere else to do so and like#im even MORE upset about the fact customers kept coming into the store and i had to just like. try to man the cash like normal#while dissociating the fuck out and getting questioned like crazy#even WORSE THOUGH? GUESS WHO HAD WHAT WAS APPARENTLY A PROPHETIC FUCKING DREAM#ABOUT FREAKING THE FUCK OUT ABOUT FEELING CLAUSTROPHOBIC AT THE REGISTERS WHILE PEOPLE WERE GOOFING OFF AND SHIT#I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE UPS AND DOWNS I JUST WANT LEVEL STABILITY. PLEASE. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE.

im like 'damn why am i so hung up on the fact that im not interested in them just constantly introducing new characters' as if it isnt perfectly reasonable to be attached to the major characters you already knew and never had characer arcs resolved adkfkkkggkhkj
complex of the game i guess
I miss the reoccurring npcs
#prophet's fl nonsense#ive pinpointed my disasitifaction at last#and like idk. i like oc stuff dont get me wrong but uh#i kinda miss focusing on the npcs in the game#not that ive ever really stopped but XD yknow what i mean#like i guess mays arc could somewhat have been resolved with the city in silver ending???? but that was like. one possible end of many lmao#and idk im just. im at my limit for new characters vaguely being introduced and never expanded on#firmament chapter 2 worked to get me into the news ones but thats it XD

Epic the musical side story where Hades and Persephone get really invested in the story during The underworld saga, sorta small talk about the strange man for the next couple of years, and then freak the fuck out in the audience during god games when they find out not only is the guy still alive, heâs managed to piss off like half the pantheon
Just
âHey babe?â
âYeah Perse?â
âThereâs like, a bunch of mortals hereâ
âMortals? What, how?â
âIdk, theyâre like, on some shipâ
âHuh. Should I call Thanatos, have him take care of it, or should we just wait it outâ
âCall Thanatos, best to rid the garden of any pests before they manage to kill your flowersâ
âPfft, alright. Iâll be right backâ
âOkay- wait. A bunch of the dead are singing to himâ
âWhat?â
âYeah like a bunch. Who are they?â
âUhh, most of them drowned, a few killed by a cyclops. One broke his neck?â
âTheyâre singing about a cyclops, about how he let one live or somethingâ
âProbably one of Poseidons. Should I still call Thanatos?â
âNo wait, I wanna see where this goes.â
âAlright.â
âAn infant, what infant?â
âMaybe the cyclops?â
âOH NEW GUY! He seems important!â
âAlso a cyclops victim. They seem close, what do you think friend or lover?â
âTheyâre Greek, itâs probably bothâ
âI donât know how he managed it, but this guy brought down like, the entire vibe of the entire underworld. That shouldnât be possibleâ
âYeah. Oh whoâs this lady now?â
âSuicide by drowning. Not sure. Maybe a relativeâ
âYeah may-THATS HIS MOMâ
âOH MY GODS. OH HE DIDNT KNOW OH LORDâ
âHooooooly fuck, what a way to find outâ
ââHere in the underworld the past is always close behindâ. Think we should make that a slogan?â
âThen weâd have to credit him and stuff thoâ
âYeahhhh. Well, seems like this guy is sticking around for a few hours. Should I grab some popcorn?â
âYeah Iâll grab the fainting couchesâ
~~~
âOkay whatâs happening now?â
âHe just stated speaking to Tiresiasâ
âTiresias? He went all the way to the underworld to speak with a prophet?â
âWell he is quite goodâ
âWait did Tiresias just reject him?â
âI think so? Oh wait predictionsâ
âPast romance, sacrifice, betrayal, and some final battle? Who the fuck is this guy?â
âDunno, but heâs not going home thatâs for sureâ
âPalace? He must be a king of some kind thenâ
âDo we know the names of any mortal kingsâ
âNope, so that didnât help at-wait his wife is doing whatâ
âOhhh, that must be rough, hearing it from a prophetâ
âOkay this chanting is getting intense. I think I heard the word Scyllaâ
âI heard lightning boltâ
âThat doesnât bode wellâ
~~~
âHeâs just, sitting thereâ
âIs he done? Should we-oh. No okay new song, letâs see whatâs going onâ
âMan this guy has it rough. Should we like, do something?â
âI mean, Iâm not really the âbless the mortalsâ type of god. I mean I let a guy borrow my helm once, and I havenât seen it since. I should probably check up on that actuallyâ
âYeahhh. They killed a friend of the cyclops?â
âThat explains all the cyclops victimsâ
ââWitch turn men to pigsâ, you think thatâs Circe?â
âSounds like he-WHAT WAS THAT THIRD ONEâ
âYou donât think-?â
ââGod comes down and makes a fleet drownâ, I am most definitely sure!â
âDamn. Wait wooden horse? Oh, I know who this guy is!â
âReally?â
âYeah heâs one of Athenas warriors! Ody something. Odyssen? Odyssa? Whatever, I remember the horse thing was a big deal when it happened, Ares was pissed, Hermes spread the word to all of mount Olympusâ
âOne of Athenas eh? Interesting. Oh yeah, the god was definitely Poseidonâ
âHow are you sure?â
âThat line he just sung, âRuthlessness is mercy upon ourselvesâ, Posy is always fucking saying that crapâ
â500 men? Damnâ
âPenelope, presumably the wife. Donât know about the other guy thoâ
âEither a son, brother, or lover. Or maybe just a friend I dunnoâ
âAnother infant? What the fuck is wrong with this guy, pulling a fucking Heraâ
âGotta appreciate the determination of himâ
âYeah, but I think weâll see him here again soon. If heâs pissed of Poseidon, and soon to be Zeus if Tiresias is to be believed, I donât think heâll get much further when he gets out of hereâ
âSo we are letting him goâ
âYeah. Partly because I want to see what happens next. When he gets here weâll ask him to tell the full story, from beginning to endâ
âAlrighty thenâ
~~~
âI swear if I get dragged out of the underworld for one of Zeusâ little games one more time this year I might actually start a warâ
âMum keeps staring at meâŚfuck sheâs probably gonna try and talk after this, fuck meeeeeeâ
âWe can escape in the middle of it, no one will knowâ
âOh sheâll know. Do you know what this is about like, at all?â
âNo, but I think Hermes might launch into the fourth dimension if he keeps vibrating like that in his seatâ
âYeeshâ
âHmm, odd. I donât see Posy anywhereâ
âMaybe heâs competing?â
âNah, he always declines when Zeus asks, he hates itâ
âWhy were you not invited?â
âDunno, probably has nothing to do with meâ
âOh itâs starting, itâs startingâ
âAthenaâs challenging eh? Interestingâ
âWould love to know what any of this is aboutâ
âMortal lover? Demi-god child? Those are the usual subjectâ
âYeah but thatâs not Athenas thing. Probably something to do with one of her âwarriorsâ or whateverâ
âApollo, of course. Always has to be apart of these thingsâ
âThe drama queenâ
âTrulyâ
âHephasteus and Aphrodite? Thatâs a little awkwardâ
âWeird lineup so far- fucking Ares? Yeah shes not winning this one, sibling spite is stronger than any argument she can giveâ
âWhy would all three of them be included. I can feel the tension from here. Iâm uncomfortableâ
âAnd Hera? Yeah no sheâs loosing for sure, Hera like not care less about any mortal, unless theyâve offended herâ
âShe might be convinced, just to spite Zeus?â
âThat just sounds unhealthy on so many levelsâ
âAlright letâs see what this is aboutâ
âHold up, Ody?â
âOh my gods. You thinking what Iâm thinking?â
âWell he was one of her warriors. Was he not?â
âI canât believe heâs still trying to get home. Itâs been like ten years, how the fuckâ
âWell, if he pissed off Poseidon then he probably has something to do with it, the pissy bastardâ
âKilled sirens. Why would you do that, so unnecessaryâ
âSacrifice??? What the fuck is this man up to????â
âDidnât we have a few Scylla sacrifices a few years back. Think that was him?â
âHoly shit we did. Yeah, Posy stays away from Scylla to the best of his ability, travelling in her domain to avoid him is not a bad ideaâ
ââPhro is mad that his mum died? Girl you are grasping at straws, even more than the previous twoâ
âHold up, why the fuck was I not invited?! He traveled through my domain, disturbed my souls, he even woke up Cerberus with his monster wailing, I should be apart of this!â
âI mean itâs a bit weakâ
âI have more grounds to be down there than fucking Apollo. Like sirens? Come on manâ
âOh âPhro refused huh? Only got two, thatâs kinda weak coming from Athena, she usually gets at least fourâ
âIs that cheating? Her quick thought thing. That cheating?â
âAre there any actual rules?â
âJust, try to win, I guessâ
âOh Ares turn. Wait she lost Aphrodite, this should be overâ
âI think this is more of a personal thing. Like I said, sibling spiteâ
âOh yeah, Scylla! Fuck this guy is getting aroundâ
âOh damn, that pissed her offâ
âGuessing that the guy other that Penelope, Telemewhatever was his child thenâ
âOh wait they yielded?? Huh, never thought that would happenâ
âAnd, Heras turnâ
âYeah like I said she does not give a fuck. But it was a good runâ
âYeah, keeping her four out of five streakâ
âWait what the fuck was thatâ
âShe- she actually yielded?â
âAnd for not cheating! Man I love this guy, I canât wait for him to dieâ
âOnly you babe. Wait holy fuck she won?â
âOh Zeus wonât like- oh, just like I said. Heâs pissedâ
âIs he gonna kill her?â
âIf he does Iâll just resurrect her probably. She deserves a better end, even if she is annoyingâ
âWell, should we go then?â
âYeah I have some paperwork to- do I hear boss music?â
âOH SHES STILL ALIVE!!â
âShe took a lightning bolt to the face and lived, holy fuck. Gotta respect itâ
âI think, sheâs actually convincing him? Never thought Iâd see the dayâ
âWell, sheâs his favourite child. I think if Ares tried something similar heâd just get struck by another lightning boltâ
âWell, that was fun. When I come back up for spring Iâll have to check with Hermes more about the details of whatâs live, actually going on with this Ody dudeâ
âYeah. Wanna stop for applebees before we head on down?â
âYeah, but letâs go now cause mum is heading like right for me and I donât wanna deal with that until another few monthsâ
This was dumb lol
#Including some headcanons of mine#1. The god games are a regular competition thing that Zeus holds#Thereâs always one challenger and five competitors (Most of which are very biased in some way)#Before Athena nobody has ever won#2. The reason Poseidon wasnât competing was because he doesnât like it#He wasnât in the audience either probably waiting for Ody to âGet in the waterââ#3. When Hades looks at a dead soul he can immediately tell how they died#Like a little chat box appears in his field of vision just giving him info about the dead person#4. Applebees have existed for thousands of years#epic#epic the musical#tagamemnon#Hades#persephone#odysseus#epic the underworld saga#epic the wisdom saga#I think Iâm funny

You know? I kinda wonder...
In a Self Insert type scenario, in Star Wars?
They would be MUCH more open to listening to "buddy, a storm's comin'" type warnings. Their Cannon knowledge, even if spotty, would probably echo with the Force and draw its attention to them somewhat. Because they KNOW.
KNOW what is going to happen. Not guess. Not assume. KNOW. Like the Force does. And that? Coupled with their inherent strangeness? Would make them the oddly colored duck of the flock, as it were. Not Super Important... buuuut? Easy to spot.
One of the Force's Blorbos.
Just cause, really. Cause they look funny. The Force doesn't even have a plan for um! But they turned up, ate the Force's food, and look at their wittle faaaace~â! So it's keeping them. You know... assuming they survive.
Which?
Brings me to my point?
Since they LISTEN? The Force probably chatters like a mofo. Since a Self Insert would be anxious and constantly ASKING for wisdom. For help. A friend. Guidance of any kind. The Force would be draped around them like a particularly pleased with itself shoulder cat. A hovering backseat driver.
Because you DO keep asking, after all.
It's like muscle memory. Building strength. Not... not GREAT, in all actuality? Because Self Insert is avoiding making their OWN choices, probably out of fear? But on the OTHER hand? Both of them KNOW that there is literally a Sith Master like... less then 5 minutes away from where they live. Constantly.
And they are a Youngling.
So???
At What Point?? Does the Force? Engage "Fuck it, we take our baby and run" protocols?
Just? FULL ON "you stop midway through making your dinner, turn off the soup, pick up your kids, leave the house, and NEVER LOOK BACK". Because? Yes. The Jedi KNIGHTS and MASTERS may have vows to try and protect the people of the Republic?
BUT THE YOUNGLINGS DO NOT.
They, in fact, need to be PROTECTED.
And if the Force itself? Says "if you stay here, they WILL die."? You gotta go. Hopefully? You have enough warning to like... pack a ship. But, ya might NOT. Might just be "aaaand, everybody put down your pads! Suprise field trip to Anywhere Else! IMMEDIATELY. Single file, younglings. No running!" Like?
What would you do?
I kinda wanna see it.
Just this somber, vaguely haunted, crechling walking up to import figures like Madam Nu and Yoda going "if I tell you The Force told me we have to take the younglings, ALL OF THEM, and any history we think is worth preserving, and LEAVE... would you listen? Or would you let us die here?" With their tiny lil face and to serious expression.
Like a prophet of Doom.
And WHERE? Exactly? Are they supposed to go? Oh, simple. They are to Trust In The Force. And let it guide them. Out IN THE UNKNOWN REGIONS of wild space! Because THATS fine! Is this a joke?
No.
No the youngling is dead serious. Terrifyingly serious. Has been studying how to pilot a shop like they will have to do so THEMSELF. Asking questions that paint a concerning portrait of a child that fully intends to take their peers on this journey, with or without them.
And the Force? The Force says they MUST. That it is impossibly important they DO.
WELL THEN....
Do they... TELL anybody?
No. Not a single soul. Specifically, not a single soul In The Senate. Ah. Concerning! Guess we're? "Losing" a ship in the war? Oh dear. Such casualties. All those lives. Oh noooooo, and such and so forth. UNRELATED note! It's been FAR too long since this temple was cleaned! Unacceptable. You, random clones definitely not assigned to that ship we definitely just lost! Help us... clean!
Just?
The power of "fuck it, we took our ball and went home/left"? Should be USED more in fics. The Force TOTALLY knows where some sweet, sweet habitable planets are. You'll NEVER fuckin find them if they don't want you too! An entire temple of Jedi asking for the SAME thing? Versus a crusty lil shit?
They asked first. And nicely!
With THIS, balance is maintained. Not through FORCE. But through walking away for a bit. Allowing OTHERS to decide if this is what THEY want for themselves. Order 66 may or may not still happen? But? At most? All you would kill is the current fighting adults. Not the teachers. Not the elders. And CERTAINLY not the young.
They? Are far away. Where the Force is still clear and the light is strong. Growing up. Reflecting on what went wrong. Farming. Building a new temple with the Clones. You know, the ones who didn't have their comms. Never GOT that dreaded order. Get to live free men on a peaceful planet.
Cause historically? You send your kids AWAY from active wars zones. Places that are priority targets for your enemies. And if the Force itself is saying "move the babies"? Welp! Guess you gotta move um, don't ya? It's scary. Uncertain.
But it is an act of faith.
And I just? Wanna see Sith's plans just COMPLETELY fuckin implode? Because they could not plan for Faith. For Trust and Community and Hope. All the things they believe so trite. So worthless. The very things that would lead grown adults, POWERFUL PEOPLE, to actually? LISTEN to a mere youngling. Then follow their lead.
It would be?
Inconceivable to them.

part 2 of the fake dating!james drabble as suggested by @simp-for-fiction!
part 1 here : part 2
pairing: james potter x reader
ââââââââââ
It had been two weeks since the night he kissed you and then proceeded to pretend as if he hadn't. You really couldn't blame him considering that you had also been hesitant to bring it up. After all, it was a part of the act.
But then again, it felt so real.
He was dragging you to yet another event today, telling you to dress nice. You complained, of course, but the second he mentioned that you'd be getting a nice fancy dinner for free... who were you to turn down such a compelling evening?
You showed up at his flat in your sleek black evening gown, feeling quite pretty, and knocked on his door. He opened it a moment later, looking a bit frazzled: his hair was a mess, his tie undone, and his glasses absent from his face.
"...hey?" you greeted.
"Hi," he replied quickly, ushering you inside before scurrying through the flat. "Sorry, promise I'll be done soon!"
"You okay?" you asked hesitantly, following him to his room.
He shuffled through things in his room, spraying himself with cologne and trying to smooth out his hair.
"Fine. Just... maybe, accidentally fell asleep and only started getting ready fifteen minutes ago," he winced a little.
You snorted a laugh. "Alright, that's fine. Do we need to be there right on time?"
"No... I guess we don't, but," he sighed, finally taking a good look at you. "You showed up on time looking... beautiful. The least I can do is get you there when I said I would."
"James, we've known each other for years. I'm not exactly expecting you to turn things around for a girl you're pretending to date."
He smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, I guess that's true. Still, though."
"Don't worry about it," you reiterated, sitting on his bed.
He continued getting ready, now quite a bit less frazzled, and you were on your way before you knew it. He led you inside some charity event that he'd been invited to. You knew his family was rich, but this... this was something else.
"So... Lily is gonna be here?" you ask in a bit of surprise as he walked you through the ballroom.
"No," he replied simply, bringing you to sit at a table with little place-cards indicating your seats.
You furrowed your brow. "What... then, why are we here?"
"Photos, of course. They go in the Prophet. Evans will see them, and hopefully get jealous."
"Thats a pretty elaborate plan, Potter."
"It'll work," he said, waving off your concerns. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing here."
You snorted, but didn't really feel like complaining the second the food and drinks came out. Even more, you were perfectly happy once dancing began. It felt like a really fancy school ball with a bunch of people who were much more intimidating than your classmates. But... James made it easy.
"And spin," he instructed with a laugh, twirling you around. He caught you, pulling you into his chest again. "See? You're a natural."
"Far from it," you laughed. "If it weren't for you, I'd be tripping over my own two feet."
"Nah. You're great," he smiled brightly, annoyingly charming as always.
"I didn't grow up with this stuff. You dont have to lie to make me feel better."
"I'm not lying. Swear. You're good."
You smiled a little, shaking your head. "You know, we should really hang out more. I think I like hanging out with you when I'm not being paraded around for you to get Lily's attention the whole time."
"We hang out," he said, tilting his head a little.
"Not really," you smiled a little. "I hang out with Remus and Sirius, and... sometimes you're just there. I wouldn't quantify us as friends, per se."
"I would. Per se," he snorted a laugh. "We are now at least."
"Maybe."
"Don't maybe me," he laughed cheerfully.
You chuckled right back, about to respond when a flash went off. You blinked, looking in the direction of the light.
An older man who looked far too happy with himself, held up his camera. "Beautiful young couple! That will make a lovely photo for the papers."
"Oh, we're not--"
James cut you off. "Thank you! We've been told."
"Oh," you nodded a little. Right. This was the whole point of the event.
The photographer gave you another overly-peppy grin, then bid you adieu. You glanced at James.
"You really think she'll see that?"
"Everyone will see it," he shrugged.
"Everyone?" you swallowed. "Ugh. James, I don't know if that's a good thing. For everyone to think we're..."
"What, am I not enough for you?" he teased.
"That's not what I mean, James. It's just that people talk. Do we really need a public break up from a relationship we were never in."
"Eh," he shrugged. "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it."
"It's supposed to be cross that bridge."
"Either way," he grinned.
"Quit worrying," he kissed your cheek. "Now, come on. We have the whole rest of the night to have fun together, now."
"Right. Lead the way, Potter."

very rusty doodle, but wanted to try some shattered glass orion :3 i think orion would be falsely-noble and righeous, almost akin to sentinel, and primus (evil) would treat him as such with gifting him the matrix and giving him the constant jesus spotlight.
yap session of my TFO SG thoughts below the cut (spoilers) ・シ:*Ë:â§ď˝Ą
alright cool where do we start (pulls off my huge conspiracy board wall)
i wanna imagine that most events stayed the same. d16 and orion were good friends, orion was adventurous and d was sternly worried, but it starts getting strained as they go on their journey for the matrix. meet b127, join elita, then learn about the truth of iacon via sentinel prime (replacing trion) on how alpha trion is a false prophet.
instead of orion + gang crashing out right here, orion realizes that. huh. sure, trion kinda bad for caging them all up and forcing them to do this dirty work, but this leadership kept them afloat and all that power completely intoxicates orion for a minute. d16, very obviously, kinda hates that. why are we being put to work for trion's misdeeds? this is horrible, guys!! and orion only seems to yearn for that complete autocracy trion has and he wants for himself. after all, all those rebellious moves was him wanting to give himself more autonomy, more power, and here was a method that works.
they met the high guard, led by starscream who wants to put a stop to trion's tyranny, and d16's the only ones whos like "oh hell yeah im on board brother". maybe theres some sort of orion vs starscream fight here? but its more fuel to the fire for their relationship. something something this post on how d16 thinks hes the crazy one, something something.
jump cut to d16 fighting trion. hes rightfully furious at this all and wants him dead, and is even willing to kill him infront of all of iacon. orion stops him, saying how they can let him live, let him do the dirty work, but d16's now properly scared of his best friend. he cant let orion do this, he needs to make sure this all ends. it turns into a dpax fight, and when theyre not looking, d16 manages to kill trion, a strike from his canon. this completely infuriates orion, and he pulls out his axe to kill d16, but starscream (whos been assisting d16 the whole time) jumps out infront and takes the blow. d16's devastated and jumps after starscream's body that nearly falls into cybertron. holding his wrist, still seeing that hes holding on, d16 tries to pull him up when, in his moment of vulnerability, he's kicked. orion pax, his best friend, kicks him and starscream into the inner gore of their planet, plummeting towards the unforgiving primus.
the bystanders of iacon doesnt see this. they can only see so much from their angle, and when orion steps back, all they see is a bot, energon-splattered and shaken from the attempt on his life. so, what does he do? he paints on the most pathetic, worry-stricken face when he turns to his people, voice wracked with grief when he woes on the horror that unfolded before him. when d16 falls through cybertron, holding onto starscream and trying to find leverage on the edges of iacon's structure, orion rises, taking trion's matrix from his chest and tells the people of iacon that he will make sure he leads everyone into a brighter future, one rid of these animalistic lowly bots. and when he replaces his cog, speaks to his people, and sings of his future, primus makes sure to cast a brilliant spotlight on him, as if a new savior truly has arrived.
just before he can completely level all of iacon, megatron rises from the pits, armed with ratbat, and sets to finally take down optimus prime and stop this. unfortunately, optimus is simply too strong with the matrix, and hes forced to retreat with whats left of starscream, and the high guard. aaaaannnnnddd now SG TFO is just optimus leading millions of autobots under his leadership, unknowing of his betrayal, and a new group of decepticons trying to stop them once and for all.
ok thats all , maybe one day ill draw/write this all (shrug). time being, have evil optimus prime <3

character idea: prophet who send his prophecies to the people they are about, in a form of kindness. however. they come off like threats , ie "lose that game, and your mother will die". like thats all the info both of them get. and the prophet is not online, and was homeschooled bc they get debilitating migraines from the visions, so they dont really know how the notes come off. and of course the notes get sent to the police. and slowly the prophet's reputation turns into like. a villain, with the power of causing remarkable coincidences, or perhaps can manipulate luck or something. our prophet still has no fucking idea. theyre doing their homework. or their taxes or something.
someone gets a note that just says "get up late. tomorrow, you are the early worm"
the pov switches between the people investigating the 'crimes' and its like. a serious crime drama
and then it switches to a slice of live pov showing prophet living their best life. studying. making (limited) friends. cooking. etc. perhaps the story goes that she meets one of the protagonists, one of the investigators. and they become friends through some shared interest, one that the investigator is maybe too awkward or embarassed to talk to their coworkers about. and then u get to watch their convos where they have completely different perspectives of the conversations theyre having. and the prophet is so unlike what theyve built up to be this supervillain in their heads
