The girls are plottinggggg
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen chao#wang lingjiao#Realizing she was supposed to have an upper lip mole was a cold slap in the face. So sorry ma'am. I won't forget again.#They are evil dumbass 4 evil dumbass and I think we are all missing out on the sheer potential of the comedy between these two.#They have way too much power and are using it for the wrong reasons - which makes them truly great villains.#And when things don't go their way they become piles of whining sludge.#Wang Lingjiao is forever fascinating to me even though we only get crumbs about her.#She's a servant girl who's greatest asset is her beauty and her attractiveness.#Meaning she's had a life being in the gaze of people with significant positions of power over her.#I can't help but read her childishness and petty tantrums as someone who has finally been given the chance to not feel powerless.#If she was a more virtuous type we might 'like' her more but honestly...I don't think she would have survived to this point.#WLJ has only known power hierarchies her whole life. Probably accused of seduction before she even understood what that meant.#I love contrasting her with mianmian because they have similar(ish) backgrounds but different approaches to moving forwards#But WLJ's story is about flying too close to the sun and mianmian's is about going too close to the water.#Like the sea mist dragging her down into complacency - all the sect powerplays are mandatory to 'go along with' if she wants to climb-#-the social ladder. Yet she is the cautionary tale (and a foil to JGY as well) she leaves before sacrificing her own morals.#Mianmian flies away with her wings only slightly plucked while those who sacrificed everything to reach for the top crash and burn.

"I have no questions. Instead, I have something I must say. A vote for Cream Unicorn Cookie is a vote for honor, integrity, and loyalty. This Cookie has been a shining example of compassion and kindness - what all Cookies should strive for. Cream Unicorn Cookie might not be the strongest, or the most cunning, but most importantly, they have a good heart. I believe that we, the jury, are duty bound to vote for who we believe played the best, and I believe that is Cream Unicorn Cookie."
that is to say
I love Caramel Arrow and Cream Unicorn's dynamic in LCS they're sooo silly. She did naut seem to care much about Cream Uni for most of the series but once it came down to the final three she latched on and she latched on HARD. Her little monologue about why Cream Uni should win is 35 whole seconds long. I fully believe she would kill a man for Cream Unicorn Cookie. And that man may just so happen to be Affogato.

Shadows of Fate 3
Summary:
Y/n, Cassian's shy and quiet sister, prefers to keep to the shadows. Unbeknownst to her, she is Azriel's mate. His shadows are inexplicably drawn to her, and as they grow closer, a slow-burn romance ensues. Cassian, ever protective of his sister, watches over her as the bond between Y/n and Azriel deepens.
Word Count: 966
Warnings: None
Chapter 3: Unseen Bonds
Y/n’s days at the House of Wind had taken on a new rhythm. Each morning, she would retreat to her favorite quiet corners, only to find Azriel already there, his presence a comforting constant. As their bond grew, she found herself feeling more at ease, her anxieties quieted by the soothing presence of Azriel and his shadows.
One afternoon, Y/n was reading in the garden, the vibrant flowers swaying gently in the breeze. She was so engrossed in her book that she didn’t notice Cassian approaching until he was right beside her.
"Hey, little sister," Cassian said, sitting down next to her.
Y/n looked up, a smile spreading across her face. "Hey, Cass. How was training?"
"Grueling, as usual," he replied with a chuckle. "But I wanted to talk to you about something."
Her smile faltered slightly. "What is it?"
Cassian’s expression turned serious. "I’ve been thinking a lot about you and Azriel. I want you to be happy, Y/n, but I also worry about you."
"I know you do," she said softly. "And I appreciate it. But Azriel and I... there’s something special between us. I feel safe with him."
Cassian sighed, his protective instincts warring with his desire to see his sister happy. "I just want to make sure he’s treating you right. That he’s not rushing things."
"He’s not," Y/n assured him. "We’re taking things slow. And he’s been nothing but patient and kind."
Cassian nodded slowly, his gaze softening. "Alright. I’ll try to ease up a bit. Just promise me you’ll come to me if anything feels wrong."
"I promise," she said, squeezing his hand.
Later that evening, Y/n found herself in the library, a place that had become her sanctuary. As she browsed through the shelves, she felt a familiar presence behind her. Turning, she saw Azriel standing there, his shadows curling around him like loyal pets.
"Hello, Y/n," he said, his voice like a warm embrace.
"Hello, Azriel," she replied, a smile lighting up her face. "I was just looking for something new to read."
He stepped closer, his gaze soft and affectionate. "I have something for you." From behind his back, he produced a small, leather-bound journal. "I thought you might like this. It’s empty, so you can fill it with whatever you want."
Y/n took the journal, her eyes widening with delight. "It’s beautiful. Thank you, Azriel."
"I thought you might use it to write down your thoughts or dreams," he said, his eyes never leaving hers. "Or even just to keep track of our adventures together."
Her heart swelled with emotion as she hugged the journal to her chest. "I love it. I’ll cherish it always."
They spent the rest of the evening together, sitting in a secluded corner of the library. Azriel read aloud from one of his favorite books, his deep, melodic voice weaving a spell around them. Y/n listened, her head resting on his shoulder, feeling more at peace than she ever had.
The next morning, Y/n awoke to find a note slipped under her door. Unfolding it, she recognized Azriel’s elegant handwriting.
Meet me in the training grounds at sunrise. I have something I want to show you.
Curiosity piqued, Y/n quickly dressed and made her way to the training grounds. The early morning light bathed the area in a soft, golden glow. Azriel was waiting for her, his shadows already swirling around him in anticipation.
"Good morning," he greeted her, his eyes bright with excitement.
"Good morning," she replied, her heart fluttering at the sight of him. "What’s this about?"
"I wanted to teach you something," he said, holding out his hand. "Come with me."
Y/n took his hand, allowing him to lead her to a more secluded part of the training grounds. There, he produced a pair of slender, beautifully crafted daggers.
"I thought it might be good for you to learn some basic self-defense," he explained. "Just in case."
She looked at the daggers, then back at him, her eyes wide with surprise. "You want to teach me to fight?"
"Not to fight," Azriel corrected gently. "To protect yourself. You don’t have to become a warrior, but knowing how to defend yourself could be useful."
Y/n hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. I’ll try."
Azriel smiled, pride and affection shining in his eyes. "Good. Let’s start with the basics."
Over the next hour, he patiently guided her through a series of simple exercises. His touch was always gentle, his instructions clear and encouraging. Y/n found herself enjoying the lessons, the sense of empowerment that came with each successful move.
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, they took a break, sitting together on the grass. Azriel handed her a water bottle, his gaze warm and approving.
"You’re doing great," he said. "You have a natural grace."
"Thank you," Y/n replied, feeling a flush of pride. "I didn’t think I could do it."
"I knew you could," he said softly. "You’re stronger than you realize."
Their eyes met, and for a moment, the world seemed to fade away. Y/n felt a surge of emotion, a deep, unspoken connection that went beyond words. She reached out, taking Azriel’s hand in hers.
"I’m glad I have you," she whispered. "You make me feel like I can do anything."
"You can," he replied, his voice filled with conviction. "And I’ll be here with you, every step of the way."
As they sat together, hand in hand, Y/n knew that their journey was only just beginning. But with Azriel by her side, she felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, confident in the strength of their bond and the love that had grown between them.
Author's Note: Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Y/n and Azriel's story. Feel free to leave comments and let me know your thoughts!
