sister evangeline

NAME. Katherine Kim CHOSEN NAME: Sister Evangeline AGE. 28 BIRTHDAY. December 24th ZODIAC SIGN. Capricorn

BIRTHPLACE. Unknown

PLACE OF LIVING: Rome, Italy but travelling all the time

ETHNICITY. unknown

ALLIGNMENT. lawful neutral

OCCUPATION. nun, demon hunter

GENDER. female

PRONOUNS. she/her

SEXUALITY. bisexual

FAMILY. unknown

RELATIONSHIP. married to god (single as fuck)

PHYSICAL.

Standing at 164 cm (5'4"), Sister Evangeline has a compact, athletic build, honed through years of training in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat. Her mahogany hair and striking mahogany-gold eyes lend her an intense, enigmatic presence. Her scent is a mix of candle wax, old books, and rosewater—a subtle reminder of her life within the cloisters of Rome and her undying connection to the Church.

PERSONALITY.

Sister Evangeline is disciplined, stoic, and deeply committed to her faith, carrying out her duties with the precision and devotion of a soldier. Years of indoctrination in the Church’s strict, unwavering doctrines made her dutiful and unwavering in her mission. Yet, her encounters beyond Rome, especially with John Constantine, have gradually begun to awaken doubts about the world she was raised in. Beneath her obedient surface, there’s a quiet yearning for freedom, tempered by loyalty and responsibility. While outwardly dedicated, she’s silently grappling with existential questions about purpose, morality, and the true nature of faith.

BACKGROUND: Sister Evangeline was handed over to the Vatican at the age of three, following a powerful vision her parents claimed to receive, instructing them that their daughter was meant to serve God. She never knew her real name, origins, or her parents, as they left without a trace, trusting the Vatican’s cloisters to raise her. The Church gave her a new identity as “Sister Evangeline,” and from that moment on, she was trained rigorously in two things: complete faith and relentless combat against demonic forces.

Evangeline grew up within the stone walls of the Church, almost like a living weapon. She traveled the world performing exorcisms and hunting demons, executing her role with a robotic, unwavering fervor. This was her only purpose, her only sense of identity—until she met John Constantine, a demon hunter who, while a believer, carried his faith loosely, far more relaxed in his work than she was accustomed to. His irreverence unsettled her and stirred questions she had never allowed herself to consider.

Before she left Rome, the Church entrusted her with an ancient relic: a vial containing the Blood of Eve, said to be from the first mother of humankind. The blood was meant to eliminate even the most powerful demons, and she was given strict instructions to guard it with her life. However, over time, she learned that the Vatican’s intentions weren’t entirely pure—they aimed to use the blood for political means, targeting individuals they deemed “undesirable.” This revelation shook her faith in the Church, even if it didn’t shake her faith in God.

With Constantine as a trusted companion, she now operates independently, protecting the vial and continuing her fight against evil. But the further she strays from the Vatican’s grasp, the more she questions the very doctrines she was raised on. Though her sense of duty is unwavering, a seed of doubt about her purpose as a nun grows stronger with each passing day—a feeling she keeps buried beneath relentless work and iron discipline.

ABILITIES:

Combat Proficiency: Trained in various forms of martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, Evangeline is highly skilled at both defending herself and eliminating demonic threats with precision.

Exorcism Expertise: Years of rigorous training in religious rites make her an exceptionally capable exorcist, able to confront and expel dark forces from the possessed.

Guardian of the Blood of Eve: The vial of Eve’s blood is a relic of immense power, capable of eradicating even the mightiest of demons. Evangeline serves as its protector, wielding it carefully, knowing its potential for misuse.

Strong Spiritual Connection: As a medium, she is sensitive to supernatural entities and can sense the presence of evil, a skill that aids her in tracking down demonic activity.

[dantelionwishes]

you've activated my TRAP CARD: ACTOR AU

hikari kamino

horror genre movie actor!

has played several roles such as: the badass side character (TM), a paranormal detective's assistant, part of a main teen cast, final girl, and even a slasher! (HER HEIGHT IS INFAMOUS)

her height is very VERY real and so she gets cast as the antagonist quite often

has roles in movies similar in genre to slasher films, or stuff like psychological horror, or even plain old demon/ghost/monster movies

started out young as a child actress who was a possessed kid and she gained popularity from there

"have you tried getting a prosthetic on your face that is meant to be chopped off and bleed on-screen? have you tried walking in a heavy, hulking costume you can barely see or walk in while carrying another actor?"

she's so used to dark and broody sets that she jokes about how the bright and lively atmosphere of this series is so foreign to her

loved the wig so much she put red streaks in her hair

she's so used to being so scary and intimidating and chasing away her fellow cast members that she ends up stuttering her lines cos she literally has no idea how she ended up with this role (good thing the stuttering is in character, they end up keeping it)

actually pretty calm and scary, I'd imagine it's hard to approach her knowing she can easily pic you up or scare you half to death

makoto shiba

stand-up comedian!

bro they didn't have to audition HAHAHAHA they were selected for a role cos they were such a popular comedian

that acting? nah dude that's not acting that's just them 😭😭😭

likes doing instagram/facebook live when they get the makeup on them

DYED THEIR HAIR FOR THE ROLE COS HELL YEAH

probably does pranks on set (IM TELLING YOU ITS JUST. THE SAME)

childhood sweethearts with moa's actress and convinced the directors to make them kiss kiss fall in love

the most active one on social media for sure

just imagine john mulaney LITERALLY JUST REPLACE EVERY SCREENSHOT OF HIM WITH THEM AND THAT'S IT THATS THEM ALRIGHT

MOST OF THEIR LINES ARE JUST THEM CRACKING JOKES AND IT'S 100% OFF SCRIPT BUT ITS SO FUNNY THE DIRECTORS KEEP IT 💀💀💀💀💀

A lot of bloopers of them spouting different lines for the same scene HABSNWNEJ TOO MANY JOKES UP THEIR SLEEVE

probably really REALLY good at voice acting

osamu sato

popular romance actor!

VERY VERY VERY CHARISMATIC he's practically sparkling when he speaks and gives everyone bisexual panic

so him needing to be a scary strict teacher came outta nowhere

pretty boy who always comes out with a high ranking on most dateable/hottest bachelor

watch fans riot when they literally hide his face 24/7 with sato's mask LMAOOOOOOO

and all the piercings are fake HAHAHAHSH

closeted bisexual who had a LOT of roles starring as the main male bachelor to be paired with a female for a love team

got the role and was surprised his character was engaged with the series' all might so yes all their lovey dovey stuff was acting.......at FIRST

its revealed that toshinori actually picked sato's actor for all might's fiance cos he fancied him 😳😳😳

sato has a rule to never date co-workers from his romance movie roles but ...toshinori isn't from any of his romance movies 😏

paparazzi found them in a bar after hours once

miss me

famous idol/singer!

you know how miss me doesnt have a lot of content compared to the other three? haha HDSHGRSFG WATCH ME MAKE AN ACTOR AU EXPLANATION WHY

she's a very very very famous a-list idol/artist so the studio cant actually pay her so much for every single appearance she makes HAHJDGHJRF

imagine it like. lil nas x on a television show for a cameo every now and then or how nicki minaj was sugilite ONCE on steven universe HHGRJDGR

speaking of lil nas x she's probably popular AND infamous also because she really is trans and disabled! she fights for her rights and the haters hate her all the while she gets more and more popular from her very cool representative songs

does a lot of charity concerts

if there was an opening song and ending song, it's most likely she had performed them herself as part of her new album

[fuckyeahmercury]

Why are people saying BoRhap is homophobic?

it’s probably because the movie misrepresented the whole story of Freddie Mercury, a famous gay rock star who not only lived through the AIDS crisis but sadly died from the disease itself. Freddie really was the first major rock star to die from AIDS so, to make a movie about him and not cover the AIDS crisis properly is a huge blow. the biggest problem in the movie is that it carries the message "if you're gay and love to party, eventually you'll die". it's portrayed as if Brian, Rog, John, Mary Austin or any other heterosexual person involved with Queen never liked partying and social gatherings.

I've only seen the movie twice but I remember my first impressions being that Freddie is constantly "fighting" with two sides. the first side would be 'bad (homosexual) people', who introduce Freddie to the sinful world of promiscuous partying (which inspires Freddie to force Queen to make an awesome disco album), with Satan himself, Paul Prenter as the main villain. this side is mainly shown in a very predatory and immoral way with scenes of just partying and drugs (as if that's the one and only aspect of every gay person) and Freddie misbehaving once he explores his sexuality. another side would be a group of 'good (heterosexual) people' who want to help Freddie and the only real family Freddie has (Queen and Mary Austin) but Freddie is being an arrogant idiot and fights with them most of the time. it's all just very dramatic, especially the scenes with Mary whose main job is to be Freddie's saviour from the ‘bad side’. basically it's all between good and bad and you can guess which one is which. as movie progresses, Freddie succumbs to the ‘bad side’ and he finds out he will die. the movie tells you that if Freddie stayed with Mary and didn't fight so much with members of Queen and wasn’t a bitchy diva, he wouldn't catch the AIDS virus. it's almost as if it was his fault for embracing his sexuality. he will pay the price with his own life. but first ... let’s go get a drink and do Live Aid? yeah, the timeline is terrible omg

anyway, it's not the best way to represent the life not only of Freddie Mercury, but the whole community that has been made to feel guilty for being affected with AIDS. Paul Prenter died of AIDS penniless the very same year as Freddie, still every fan hates him. I'm not saying that he was this amazing person but to put all the weight of Freddie's life and death on to shoulders of some random personal assistant gay man, who has been dead for almost 30 years and can't speak for himself now, is a bit unfair. because I bet Freddie has gone through life with so many people (not necessarily gay or bisexual) who treated him badly and were a bad influence and yet, they don't get a single mention in the movie. the movie is full of inaccuracies anyway so it's no surprise that so many other important friends and even lovers who Freddie had serious relationships with aren't mentioned or shown at all, except for Jim. and their love story has been reduced to a minimum.

I guess what's confusing to you and to so many others is how could anyone say that a celebratory movie about a gay man is homophobic when there's no actual homophobic scenes or slurs in the movie. true, I don’t remember any such scenes (correct me if I’m wrong), but as you can see if you logically put some real-life facts together, you can tell the movie is not really celebrating Freddie's life, it actually demonizes it. it's been said that this is why Sacha Baron Cohen, who was supposed to be the main man to play Freddie, opted out of the movie because he felt it wasn't a genuine Freddie Mercury and Queen story...

[sins-of-the-sea]

What do you mean by "those who tried to stop it but failed?" Please elaborate.

Sigh. This is going to be heavy. I apologize.

A very underrated and underappreciated element of history is the history of actual allies, including abolitionism. Allies existed. Allies have always existed. The problem is that they are often demonized as terrorists, extremists, and traitors. They are not the "norm" of the period, sure, but like trans people and freed slaves, they existed. I very clearly remember how John Brown was taught to me in high school US history class as a bloodthirsty terrorist and not a man who, after years of using actual peaceful methods, tried to lead the movement of ending slavery only to be captured, tried, and executed. All this was done not because he wanted to be performative for black people or be "woke", he did it out of genuine desire to end slavery in the United States. Method is a different thing altogether; what matters most right now when it comes to allyship history is intent and existence, as otherwise, like many other parts of history, it is often erased or warped.

Josep was deliberately written with inspiration of historical sympathizers of the persecuted and colonized despite being born of Spanish nobility and initially wanting to explore the New World. He does not do it to perform. He does not do it to be woke. He genuinely gets out of his way, with the threat of death, to try to help people who need to be helped. He didn't stab the noble torturing a New World native because he wanted to impress natives, he did it because he was mortified and acted out of personal trauma of being harmed as well. He's a human being who sees other people not like him as human beings. And he is not alone, even when he feels he is.

Part of why it's so hard to be allies these days, even for those who are genuine in wanting to be supportive, is because we still treat allyship as a very recent and new thing, then become harsh towards those who are still learning or deprogramming. The story of Gisela is based off real parents I know who WANT to be supportive but don't know HOW in an oppressive environment. Intersectionality is also often ignored because we are so quick to yell at people to 'stay in their lanes'. So often we are quick to dismiss allies as people who just want praise for being good people when there are those who are genuine in their support and want to help.

Note how I write the Seven. You have it all. A mixed-race couple in a time where miscegenation is not only deeply frowned upon but even illegal in many places--if Josep and Abena are discovered to be in love and were mortal, they will be chased down and killed. You got PoC in one black, one Asian, and one Middle-Easterner. You got mentally ill. You got Jews and a Muslim. You got poverty-stricken and disgraced nobility. A woman and one who privately questions his gender. A gay man, two bisexuals, a pansexual, and a demisexual. No matter how you put it, the Master is right in one regard: they are not welcomed in the world for who they are. Even if they're not pirates or criminals, they will ALWAYS find persecution and isolation. Each of them were forced into a life of villainy. And despite all this, where are their most sympathetic and arguably heroic traits? It's in their refusal to abandon each other. They will fight the ends of the Earth to support each other, even though not everyone is a woman, or a Jew, or gay, or whatnot. WE may welcome them now in the modern world. But this is why history is so important--to see how far we come, goddamn appreciate it, and work on what else needs to be worked on.

I will always remember this particular photo and cherish it in my heart.

Christians. Protecting Muslims. How often does that happen? Not often and I will cherish this moment all the way into my grave.

Always appreciate your allies. No one wants to fight against injustice alone.

My Thoughts on Castlevania S3

So I cant sleep, I've binged this series twice now & I really need to get this out. For context on me as a person, I am an LGBT+ WOC (specifically Asian & bisexual). Castlevania is my favourite game series + the reason why I pursued Game Design as my career. The show means the world to me & I thoroughly enjoyed s3 for the most part. I acknowledge the flaws & these r just MY opinions, they do not reflect the other mods intentionally in anyway.

The art + animation was so CLEAN. There was not one scene that did not take my breath away. The attention to detail was phenomenal I have no words to describe it.

Some of the best fight scenes ever just ridiculous, it's like john wick. The action is upped every installment + its just so CLEAN

The entire team puts so much time + effort Into making Sypha such an enjoyable badass it's so amazing. I am never disappointed with her, never ever.

The lesbians. Striga & Morana, god I wish that were me.

Isaacs character arc was so good. Like the budget really went to Sypha + Issac this season LOL

Sumi + Takka, they meant so much to me. I love them, I really do. I cant say I'm not hurt seeing them at the end. I'm actually very hurt, my heart aches. I never thought I'd get to see representation like that in a series that I loved but felt idk invisible to. LGBT Asians in a historical setting outside of Asia, it was just...a dream for me. I fell in love w/ them instantly & I think that's why I tend to over look their faults a lot.

But when you see yourself on screen in something you've dedicated years to & you're just finally seen its...its so hard. The last time I felt this full was Shiro from V*ltr*n and we know how that shit went down. Idk I'm happy for what I recieved, grateful even, for however short it was. I loved their characters, i love sumi + takka i just wish they got a better ending. They all deserved better

More info on Cho I really oof I could not have asked for more. This bitch was so extra & I love her

That music score, the sound design. Bruh I can't even with all this TALENT

I call episode 9 the Fuckening

The Portals to different worlds really confuses me but I am here for it, I hope it's just like an Easter egg to their future projects or that the writers were all high around then

I see u w/ that jojo reference, I bet you think ur all so slick

Hector's entire story arc, wtf was that? My guy you can't be like "Oh humanity is evil and stupid and eats shit" and then be that gullible I-ooof u frustrate me u beautiful boy. Like s2 implies he burns his family alive & I'm sitting here deadass like how the fuck did u even pull that off

The forgemasters being called pretty + their reactions were priceless

I want Richter Armitage to read me a bed time story

Trevor, Isaac & Sypha r just so well done this season

THE. HORSES. ARE. HEALTHIER.

Isaac rode a demonic purple unicorn around the world, he's my fucking hero

Alucard a confirmed bottom + bisexual thank u

The sex scenes were juxtaposed to the intense fighting but it felt awkward to watch but it was also very fitting in an odd way????

The dolls were hilarious

I learned a lot about toilet paper

The Judge being like "no kids run around in my village" is the equivalent to Mr. Mosby from Suit Life of Zack & Cpdy being like "dont u run in my lobby" AND I CALLED IT OUT AND AND WAS RIGHT

This show has taught me to never trust bald, old white men w/ interesting voices

Carmilla was just a hot ball of anger for the most Part & got annoying real fast, but that night robe tho. That was everything

I liked Lenore's character trope. Being that sweet innocent looking one, but shes really just this cruel evil bitch. Like everyone complains about Carmilla but at least shes evil to ur face until this fake bitch over here

Takka doesn't do mornings? Niether do I

Alucards wardrobe upgraded from deep Vs to fluffy Victorian Lestat cosplay

I really really want an empire run by 4 vampire sisters. Like I know they're all evil, cruel bitches but the sisterhood they showed for each other is such a goal. Women supporting women is amazing I just wish they weren't the fucking villains

A lot of my gripe is that all the rep I want & thirst for all falls into a negative category in some way/shape/form

This whole season feels more like a bridge to season 4. Kinda like a season full of fillers.

The ending hurts me I'm several ways, but objectively it is a haunting image and it really invokes so much on it's own w/o context backing it. W/ it tho, even more mindblowing and heartbreaking

Thank you so much for pronouncing Kolkata properly

I'm always blown away by character designs ur doing great sweety

The angel has the juiciest ass

Where the fuck is Cezar?

Aight I think that's all for now. If you got issues then come to me about it, not the other mods. But I'll let u know I will not tolerate racist shit (which I've gotten on IG already). I really needed to dump these feelings out. I stan Sumi & Takka, I love them and I'll carry all that on my own if I have to.

- Sincerely Mod Wall Chicken

[type40thiefoflight]

In honor of whatever the heck that sad excuse of a finale was, here’s a list of all the things I wish had/hadn’t happened over the course of the series:

Elaboration the Bloody Mary plot-line. Dean’s eyes bled when she appeared, meaning he felt guilty over someone’s death, but we never got to see whose.

Remember the one and only time they used “Christo” to identify a demon? Why didn’t they keep that up?

Rendering three of the horsemen powerless. Did they get replaced after Dean took their rings or are they still around and just less powerful?

Dean making Castiel erase Lisa’s and Ben’s memories.

Ben is Dean’s son and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Dean finally got the amulet back after Chuck appeared to him and Sam as God. Why didn’t he start wearing it again?

Chuck should have started out as a normal prophet that eventually became God’s vessel. This would explain his total behavioral shift from mousey to  arrogant and cocky. I think the possession would have happened after Raphael destroyed him and Castiel. Did Raphael really strike you as the kind of guy to have mercy on a human, even if he was a prophet of the lord? Chuck didn’t miraculously survive the attack. He was wiped out like Castiel was and God reconstructed his body like he did with Castiel in Stull Cemetery, then took Chuck’s place.

People who shouldn’t have been introduced/brought back:

The Campbells. The whole point is that it’s just the brothers and Castiel against the world. Sometimes their friends are there. We already knew from the flashback that Mary’s family behaved similarly to how John got after her death. There didn’t need to be more of that.

Bobby Singer. He died for Sam and Dean and even in death they still dragged him into their problems. Let the man rest already.

Gavin MacLeod: Didn’t need to be there. He showed up as a ghost once and his story-line seemed pointless.

Mary Winchester. Her story-line ended when she, as a ghost, sacrificed herself to fight off a poltergeist terrorizing the Winchesters’ old house.

Lucifer. His characterization post-Hallucifer was completely different and felt like watching a totally different character.

John Winchester: Should have stayed in Hell. He was an abusive father and didn’t deserve the reunion brought on by Dean wishing on the pearl.

People who should have been brought back/shouldn’t have died at all:

Bela Talbot: She wasn’t the nicest but she didn’t deserve that, Dean.

Ash: Just because his name is Ash doesn’t mean he had to become it.

Pamela Barnes: Cool characters with cool powers and actual personalities aren’t allowed to live.

Ellen and Jo Harvelle: Fans were so mean they got killed off to protect them from potential future bad writing and hate.

Balthazar: I really don’t remember why Castiel killed him but I liked him.

Rufus Turner: Did Bobby really have to get possessed by the Khan worm?

Bobby Singer: Couldn’t they have parked that van a little closer so he could have time to close the van door?

Amy Pond: Needing extra fresh food (human organs) for her sick son isn’t a good reason to kill her, Dean. It was a one-time thing.

Emma: Why couldn’t they have taken more time talking her down and gotten her away from the Amazonians? Sam, that is your NIECE!

Charlie Bradbury: Burying your gays isn’t cool, you guys.

Benny Lafite: Dean or Benny could have used dream root to contact Sam or Bobby and tell them the way out.

Kevin Tran: The whole Gadreel thing was dumb anyway but did he really think killing one human would impress Metatron?

Linda Tran: Not dead, just disappeared. What happened to her?

Krissy Chambers: Also not dead, but where did she go?

Tessa the reaper: Since when are reapers angels? There’s a specific way to kill them and it’s not angel blades.

Death: If Gabriel’s smart enough not to let someone get a hold of his real weapon then the horseman of death certainly is.

Gabriel: There’s no way he’s really dead. His second death was exactly like the first one and I believe Lucifer knew that when he saw AU Michael “kill” him. He waited until the coast was clear then got away.

Meg: Lead characters’ romantic interests aren’t allowed to live I guess.

Joshua: He and the Garden of Eden should have played a bigger role, maybe when they had to deal with Eve in season 6.

Crowley: They should have found another way to complete the ritual. Actually, weren’t they by a lake? They could have just stabbed a fish.

Missouri Moseley: Stop bringing back cool characters just to immediately kill them off.

Rowena MacLeod: Terrible mother, wonderful character.

Donatello Redfield: Not dead, just vanished. Where did he go?

Amara: Not really “killed” but absorbed even though that didn’t really give Chuck as much of a power boost as it should have. Adam Milligan: You’ll move Heaven and Hell for Sam but forget about your other brother? I get you’re jealous that he had a real relationship with John, but come on Dean.

Michael: The relationship between him and Adam was cool and I wanted to see it expanded on.

Donna Hanscum and Eileen Leahy: I would have liked confirmation that they were brought back when Jack reversed Chuck’s Thanos snap.

Castiel: I repeat: burying your gays bisexuals isn’t cool. (I say bisexual because remember Meg?)

Dean: His Mystery Spot deaths were sadder than that. For the third time: Burying Your Gays Bisexuals Isn’t Cool.

[leverage-ot3]

to all the leverage fans out there, I thought I’d throw out some recommendations of other shows that y’all might like

this is completely centered around the lgbt aspects of leverage (how none of the characters are straight, how there is a canon ot3, etc), because I know other people have recommended white collar and stuff but I haven’t personally seen that and I’m just a humble lgbt wanting to share more gay shows with y’all

1. wynonna earp (my sideblog is @angelicearps)

just renewed for a fourth season after two years (this feeling is very familiar to leverage fans)

the first episode of season four aired last night and IM SCREAMING the writers served us a five course meal

the main love story includes waverly earp, a CANON (officially as of 4.01) bisexual girl falling in love with nicole haught, a lesbian cop-turned-sheriff (that’s a slight spoiler, so sorry about that) and both of them are main characters

wynonna earp, another main character, has a complicated relationship with two different men and is not slut shamed for it and is never put down about it

I’m serious- the healthiest and most stable relationship in the show is between waverly and nicole, so wlw nation rise

wynonna and waverly are descendants of the great gunslinger (and demon killer) wyatt earp, who ended up getting a curse on his future generations. the story of the show is centered around wynonna being the chosen heir having to fight demons and try to break the curse for good

doc holiday is another main character- yes, that doc holiday. he’s one of wynonna’s love interests and he has such a pure and loving relationship with waverly. he’d literally die for her and move heaven and hell to make sure she’s safe (that’s literally canon)

jeremy comes in around season two if I remember correctly. canon gay. gets in a relationship with another canon gay character whose name I am blanking on. they are very loving and very pure

literally, in 4.01, when armed military men are breaking into the earp homestead and he doesn’t know what to do, he literally says: “gays only?” lol they didn’t respect that answer

the show has so many good quips and one-liners. so many hilarious lines. it can be an angsty show at times but they definitely balance it out with humor and wlw softness between waverly and nicole

wynonna has a baby in season two and literally calls herself a milf

it also made fans faint because they have been calling nicole “daddy” for like six years and nicole was referred to as daddy three (3) times in 4.01

this show is NOT AFRAID to say things like gay, lesbian, etc. at one point someone tweeted at emily andreas (the writer) asking her to amp up the gay energy and she responded that she would

literally, emily andreas is on the same level as john rogers with trustability and dedication to fans

emily andreas heard of the bury your gays trope and did us one better: unkillible gays trope. the gays are unkillable.

2. motherland: fort salem (my sideblog is @fortsalem)

(HELL YEAH I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST IN THE FANDOM AND I GOT THE HANDS DOWN B E S T URL)

au where during the salem witch trials a witches named sarah alder made an agreement with the government that witches would serve for the us army in exchange for not being systematically hunted down and killed

THIS IS NOT MILITARY PROPAGANDA. sorry, I just had to make this point early on because it’s not even though it might seem like it in the beginning. literally by the end of the season you see it’s very corrupt

since this is an alternate history of the united states, in this universe there are no heteronorms. literally, there’s literally no words for lesbian and bisexual that they use because it’s so normalized and common and accepted that there’s no need for terms like that

the main love story is of star-crossed raelle and scylla. raelle comes from a poor family and is a talented healer, and (this isn’t technically a spoiler because you find out in episode one) scylla is a member of the spree

the spree is a terrorist organization of witches that protests the compliance witches are forced into by having to join the military or die/be imprisoned

scylla is supposed to turn raelle to the “dark side” but falls so deeply in love with her that she can’t do it (THATS TRUE LOVE FOLKS)

the students at fort salem (the military school) are divided into groups of three: the main group being focused on is composed of raelle, tally, and abigail

tally craven is a pure-hearted baby and I’d die for her. she is very idealistic about fighting in the military (but don’t worry that’s fixed by the end of the season)

abigail bell weather comes from a high military family and is kinda really stuck up about it, but she’s humbled a lot by the end of the season. this girl has LAYERS (they all do, but abigail goes through a lot and goes from very stuck up and stuck up the military’s ass to questioning everything she knows)

the trio starts off rocky, especially between raelle and abigail, because raelle blames abigail’s mother for her mother’s death (her mother’s unit was led by abigail’s mother)

the beltane episode literally hits you in the face with how there are literally no heteronorms whatsoever. they do this sacred dance where by the end they will end up with the people they are destined to spend the celebration with (“trust the dance”). raelle makes friends with a gay guy and they spend the celebration making fun of the sex noises around them and become gay friends for life. abigail has sex with two (2) guys who kiss each other. a group of four girls went off together. a group of two girls and a guy went off together. and sex isn’t shamed. at all. in fact, it’s respected as a part of life. and y’all, literally this representation was OFF THE CHARTS

the witch’s most powerful tool is their voice,,, think about that for a minute

it’s an all girls school so there are like no guys whatsoever minus the beltane episode and a couple others

EMPOWERED WOMEN (of all ages and ethnicities too)

3. siren (my sideblog is @polymarinelove)

imma start off by saying that season three doesn’t exist. don’t watch season three. don’t do it. the disappointment is real

ANYWAYS

the central love story is between an interracial couple (a white guy and his black girlfriend that has a native american stepfather) that turns into a loving polyamorous relationship

maddie, the girlfriend, is amazing and incredibly smart and the first two seasons (and the beginning of the third) accentuate that and they never downplay her because she’s a black woman like many shows and movies do. she’s a smart stem woman and we stan her so hard. she’s also bisexual.

ben, the guy, comes from a rich family that are basically the hotshots of the town and own the fishing company that the community works for. his dad is hella untrustable. ben doesn’t trust him and neither should you. he is kindhearted and smart and respectful, and at one point teaches a merman about consent after being kissed by him (and he didn’t even #nohomo it which was AMAZING)

now to the mermaids

mermaids are apex predators. they are very dangerous. they are very strong. they’re also wickedly smart, canon smarter than humans

the story begins when donna, ryn’s sister, is captured by a fishing boat and carted off to a military facility. ryn comes to land to try to find and save her. (she literally choses her name because she sees a character on a kid’s tv show saying “I am ryn” which is also the first thing in english that she can say)

she ends up being helped by ben and maddie and legit is like these humans are hot imma learn english for them

there’s a lot of really cool and thought out lore as well as TONS of thoughtful marine biology science that makes sense

oh and transforming from mermaid to human? painful as FUCK. realistic depictions of having your body literally transform into something else

humans are wrecking the oceans and that’s a heavy theme of the show

oil rigs are poisoning the water (making them infertile) and killing mermaids with their sonic drilling

so ben and maddie lowkey commit an act of ecoterrorism but it’s chill

“ben and maddie are love” they’re poly, bitches

they come together in a natural, organic way

very healthy and communicative

ben’s alright but ryn and maddie are amazing

don’t watch season three if you don’t want to be majorly disappointed. the writers listened to the homophobic trolls on instagram and broke up the polyamorous relationship and I’ll NEVER forgive them for that. seasons one and two are amazing though. just don’t watch the third one.

Summer Vacation

Writer’s Month 2020 Day Twenty-Six

Read on AO3

“Fourteen days, that’s all we wanted and we couldn’t even get halfway through it!” Zatanna shouts in anger knocking another bot sporting sharp silver teeth back with a high kick as she flings out another blast of magic at a line of them creeping up on John.

“I told you joining the Justice League would bite us in the arse!” he shouts conjuring up a handful of fire pushing the flames directly into the chest of a bot in front of him.

Zatanna flips a bot over her shoulder blasting it with a burst of magic as it lands on the soft sand.

“I told you joining the Justice League would bite us in the arse,” she says in a bad impression of John her voice going down in octaves and then up.

“I heard that!” he shouts back as a bot slashes out at him, John jumps back in time but the bot still makes contact leaving a barely there scratch against his bare chest.

Zatanna knocks the bot back from him with a blast of magic before focusing back on the line in front of her.

“Good,” she says as she picks up the beach towel crumpled at her feet. She wraps it around the bot’s head and punches it in the face hard once before blasting it back. “You were supposed to.”

It’s not like things like this didn’t happen to them before the Justice League, it’s just become a little more frequent lately.

This is not the summer vacation they were hoping for. In the year since Zatanna convinced John to join up with her on the Justice League they’ve helped stop at least a dozen near apocalypses, three alone of which have been within the past month. These two weeks were supposed to be a break away from it all, just her, John, a few beaches and some dive bars that reminded them of when they first met.

And for five blissful days that’s what it had been. Until today when somewhere between threatening to throw John in the ocean if he suggested they have sex on this very public beach one more time and a sip of her drink a scream had broken out at the other end of the beach.

Zatanna had never wished that someone was just lightly drowning so badly in her life. That of course would have been too easy of a fix. Instead a line of bots were rising up from the water attacking the innocent beachgoers.

Zatanna and John had just looked at each other disappointedly and within seconds they were in all-out battle against dozens of evil water bots. Water bots that look a lot like the handiwork of Black Manta, meaning this really should be Aquaman territory. His vacations don’t seem to get interrupted though, lucky fish bastard.

Another bot swipes out a hand at her back nearly catching on the straps of her Ouija board printed bikini. For a brief second she wonders how some of the more scantily clad villains and heroes she knows fight like this.

Another wave of bots pull up from the water as she knocks what she thought was the last one down.

“That’s it, we’re finishing this,” she says through frustrated gritted teeth. She rolls her neck then runs over to John’s side as he finishes off the last of his bots.

He looks out at the ocean seeing the line she’s watching storm the beach.

“Son of a bitch,” he says brushing off his hands.

“You remember Malta?” she says already drawing on the power in her core.

John smirks tilting his head in her direction. “Malta ’01 or ’14?”

Zatanna smiles a wicked little smile her eyes already glowing with magic. “It’s Manta tech so it needs water, right?” she says building a barrier between the new bots and the line of civilians still cowering behind a nearby wall. “So I’d say ’01.”

Malta ’01 had been a beautiful blissful five days of nudity for the pair. It had also been the site of a massive magical sea succubus that they’d had to deal with for the sake of the locals. To this day it’s considered an act of apocalyptic proportions that the Chadwick Lakes ran dry suddenly a massive monster washing up out of them.

John chuckles. “I love the way you think,” he says pressing a hand to one of the magic sigils on his chest. “How long you think we’ll need to hold it?”

“Couple minutes should do, not quite as dramatic as ’01,” she says holding out her hand palm up for John to take. He does, entwining their fingers together. They both close their eyes a string of Latin said in unison as John draws on the sigil on his chest and Zatanna pulls pure raw power from her core.

“Maybe we can have a repeat of the rest of Malta when we’re done here,” John suggests with a squeeze of her hand his tone far too suggestive.

Zatanna likes the sound of it.

“I love the way you think,” she says parroting his words from before.

One second the bots are advancing on them, the water rushing around them and the next every drop of water is whisking away back up into the sky and receding out. They open their eyes focusing their power on the water and watch as the bots seize up, crumpling in on themselves. A few stragglers attempt to run back into the ocean, but Zatanna focuses on it pushing the water back further and further away from the bot’s reach.

It takes less than two minutes for all the bots to crumple up, scattered powerless on the beach. Zatanna and John meet each other’s eyes and break their hold. Just like that the water rushes back in and down from the sky in a single giant rainfall of sorts. The fish that had been gasping for air moments ago sink back under where they belong.

She hopes there were no fish casualties in this or she’ll never hear the end of it from Aquaman.

A burst of cheers from the civilians breaks out once they realize the beach day from hell is over and Zatanna stomps away back over to the space she and John had been occupying before all hell had broken loose.

“Stob eb dehsinab ot a drayparcs,” she says waving a hand at the beach as she goes. She throws herself down into the sand on her back, her towel long gone somewhere, with a frustrated huff. She looks around watching as the civilians mingle back to their spots on the beach, completely over the events of the past twenty minutes.

She’ll never stop being astounded about how desensitized people have become to superheroes, magic, aliens and everything in between.

She shifts looking up at the bright blue sky. Eventually the leg of John’s swim trunks that sport the colors of the bisexual flag come into view. She moves her head a little and notices the plain black leg have a scorched hole in them now.

“You alright, luv?” he asks settling down into the sand at her side his forearms resting on his knees. Zatanna just nods lifting herself up from the sand to sit up beside him. She feels the gritty sand sticking to her back and frowns.

John reaches out brushing it off of her best he can. Zatanna grabs his arm when he starts to pull it back and lays her head on his shoulder.

“You said something about having a repeat of the rest of Malta?” she says rubbing her cheek against his warm shoulder.

“I did,” he replies placing a quick kiss on her hair. “I’m thinkin’ if we don’t leave a bedroom there’s no way anymore mass evil assaults can find us.”

Zatanna snorts. “An army of demons has literally portalled into our bedroom before John,” she says thinking of at least three separate occasions that that statement applies to.

“Okay, well I can’t argue with that,” John concedes. “It’s still more fun that fighting robots on a beach though.”

Zatanna sighs looking out at the ocean that’s still a little choppy from their magic.

“Plus,” John adds after a moment. “No doubt fish boy will come looking for us to talk about this incident soon enough and if we’re holed away on some real nice dry land he’ll never be able to track us down.”

Zatanna pulls back and meets his eyes.

“We haven’t been to Vegas in a while,” she smiles already conjuring up a portal and pulling John up from the sand determined to get a peaceful rest of their vacation.

What I know about the "Beta Kids”

JOHN EGBERT 

- He kins blue, or basically has a theme of blue as I can see from his tracksuit

- He doesnt like his dad?? I don’t think??? So he has daddy issues??

- I think there’s a trans thing about him which is real dope, saw something on Twitter about it

- The game makes him have wind powers so he’s essentially Aang

- Big Nerd, likes games, computers and mullets since I think he grows one in the future or smth

- His uncle is Obama

ROSE LALONDE

- She has the most fanart from what I’ve seen so I am guessing she is a favourite to either draw or in general and I support

- Ah yes, kins the colour purple

- H.P Lovecraft enthusiast, I am just waiting for her to summon some demons in Homestuck and every one of her friends goes through the trials and defeats of their own inner minds that they cannot escape nor control. And yes I am referring to Inception. Because wouldnt that be dope?

- She’s either preppy or goth and everything is pointing to both at the same time

- A probable lesbian with the other lesbian character

- Also mommy issues, I’m pretty sure

- Alcoholism? oh shit is that alcohol? Isn’t she supposed to be like 12?

- In conclusion, she’s Stella from Winx Club, idk same vibes not that I’m suggesting Stella from Winx Club is an alcoholic lesbian with mommy issues tho

DAVE STRIDER

- Oh god its him, its the one everyone fucking loves

- I feel if I don’t end up liking him, I’ll be shunned by the fandom and sacrificed for fun

- Man, I just tried looking up some images of ONLY dave but apparently his page differs from everybody else because he’s made into fanart with…. wait let me count

- 5 people, Jesus christ, he’s shipped with 5 people? He gets around, ig

- If he’s not at least bisexual, I’m not sure what the author is doing with themselves

- Giving me douche vibes but I’m pretty sure he’s just chill

- So he also kins a colour since I don’t see one image where he DOESNT have some sort of red on him which is valid, red is cool

- I’m pretty sure I ironically bought a shirt with that symbol on it without realizing it could have most certainly been a Homestuck shirt

JADE HARLEY

- She’s a furry

- She’s like a ray of sunshine, I don’t think I’ve seen one picture in which she is either frowning or angry…. this is concerning, is she okay? Or is she genuinely happy 24/7? Because let me tell you, nobody is and this is Homestuck which I heard has death at some point I think, so RIP Jade Harley I bet you she just snaps and becomes this badass who doesn’t think anything is funny anymore whilst being a furry.

- Wait, scratch that, I found one frown and she’s talking to a 69 now that’s also an issue who wants to willingly choose 69 as a symbol on their shirt, I say, as I scribble my first fan-kid into typing only using 69′s in place of binary.

- She likes to wield guns and overall fight people, you know what I respect this furry, she is cool

- Okay so while looking at pics I found an MLP Homestuck character and I’m not too sure I’m in the right section anymore

- So she’s also a witch, wow, she has a lot of hobbies, oh god thats a lot are those puppets?

- Okay so her infobox has Big game trophies, mummies, rude trolls for things she hates and that is.. such an odd thing out of context. Like I’m sure I’ll understand it one day but goddamn. Mummies? Honestly hun, same tho.

Zevran?

@icylook and @strangerpsyducks

How I feel about this character

Hehehheh… Do I need to spell it out? Pixel Perfection. I mean, I am a Zev slut and y’all know that. He is so well written, and his character arc so painful and fulfilling – wanting to die, getting a second chance, believing in his own worth and finding purpose, bringing change to the Crows. I just love everything about him, from his shameless ‘hypersexuality,’ his ‘immorality’, his cynicism, his endless donning of masks (a lot of that just listed is actually 80% just for show and/or self-protection), his fierceness in actually fighting for the vulnerable (the mages, the elves), his open-mindedness, his sense of humor, his optimism paired with realism resulting in cheerful doom-saying, his boastful cock-sureness, his people smarts (honestly, he is so aware of how people tick, and he sometimes pokes them the wrong way simply because he’s an insufferable shithead), to his unending loyalty! I love his romance so much… I can’t possibly list everything I love about Zev because I’d have to recap every single scene and dialogue and nuanced aspect of his character. Say what you will about David Gaider, but he gave me Zevran Arainai, and he nailed it. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Alec Surana! XD lol, yes, that’s number one. But, I ship him with all Wardens who treat him right (I have a particular preference for Surana, Tabris, Mahariel and Brosca), Isabela, Leliana, Fenris, Iron Bull, Shianni, Hawke, Varric…

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Leliana/Zev and Isabela/Zev. StabBI rogues rule. I think both Leli and Bela can understand Zev well, have fun with him, and not judge him. 

My unpopular opinion about this character

On the one hand, people who are not obsessed Zevmancers tend to read him as too immoral and too hypersexual. 

Half of his flirting serves a purpose other than taking people to bed – eg. Wynne. And I mean, most of my followers love Zev so I hardly have to point out how big he is about consent, how clear he is in his intent with the Warden, how honest he is about his loyalty to them.

On the other hand, people who love Zevran  tend to make him too nice and too monogamous, and I don’t buy it.

He is not “so good he can do no wrong owo.” Honestly, he is an assassin and yes, he might regret some of the people he had to kill – and especially having to do it on other people’s biddings, – but he has no issue with killing. He gains approval for killing Owen (the blacksmith in Redcliffe) and Lloyd (the tavern owner in Redcliffe), for instance. Two people who technically aren’t the enemy. He is in favor of making deals with demons, extorting and stealing. Besides that, he is also a shithead. He mocks Morrigan (takes on a bet to soften her through dishonest flattery), Leliana (laughs at her vision), Alistair (ridicules his flirting and says he’d charge a ‘bastard’ to kill him) and Wynne (the whole bosom flirting just to make her uncomfortable and get her to stop nagging him), so he really is insufferable when he wants to be. Anyone excusing all of the “not nice” he’s done as “it was the Crows who made him do it” isn’t really seeing all of his character. 

Nuh-uh. Zevran is a piece of work and I love it.

He is not monogamous either – He can be, happily, for sure, but he is canonically poly (Rinna/Tali/Zev? Staying with the warden even if they married Alistair/Anora? Threesome with Bela?) and very sexual. He just needs everything to be clear and consensual between him and everyone involved.

And I think he and Alistair would make an awful pair, sue me. (don’t sue me. just ignore me and go do your thing happily cuz I’m just a rando behind a computer and what I like and don’t like should not affect what you like and don’t like). Alistair is super judgy and Zev would always feel like crap in a relationship with him unless you write Alistair as (cue John Mulaney) “getting real cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly.” (even then, I’m not going to read it bc zevstair just doesn’t do it for me).

One last unpopular opinion -- I read Zev as being a happy switch who prefers to sub in bdsm scenes! I mean “I have never succumbed to an interrogation. You might have to beat it out of me,” the approval he gains when the warden tells him they make the rules? When he tells Hawke to tie him, gag him, and beat him? ;)

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I want an entire Zevran/Rinna/Taliesen DLC!! I also wish Zevran had showed up in Dragon Age Inquisition. Yes, they would have ruined him like they ruined him in DA2, but it is so SAD that he is THE ONLY ONE who never shows up in comics, and didn’t show up in DAI, and it’s so unfair I am forever bitter! T_T

Also really really wish the discussion of his own bisexuality had been handled better in canon. The way he explains it to the warden sounds like he thinks he was made bisexual by the Crows – and he might as well think that’s what happened, but we know that’s not how bisexuality works. T_T

I want him to show up in DA4, old and happy and riding a Griffon with the Warden. XD That’s it. That’s all a girl wants.

Ali found herself standing on a west coast beach. She’d known it to be the Pacific Ocean. It was her favorite place. She’d spent hours by this very ocean the handful of times she had visited Sam. She never wanted to leave, but the hunt and the thrill of the chase had always dragged her away. She was barefoot at the edge of the ocean. Briney water washing over her feet. Her curly blonde hair was lose and blowing in the salty breeze. The warm air kissed her skin. She looked down at the navy blue polka dotted maxi dress she had worn before. Ruffled at the hem, buttons down the front and thin spaghetti straps donned her shoulders. Then it hit her. This was too real to be a dream. In fact she had been dreaming of this as she slept on the motel room couch she and her brothers had been sharing after another tiring hunt. But she hadn’t been alone in the dream and that’s when she heard his foot steps approaching.

“Hello Ali.” Cas was out of place on the beach. He had at least shed the trench coat, suit jacket and tie. His white shirt was open at the collar, sleeves rolled up and he was barefoot on the sand, suit pants cuffed so the salt water didn’t ruin them.

“Cas...is this really happening?” He gave her a curt nod. she pressed her palm to her forehead in confusion. “Did you get into my head? Into my dream?” She felt the heat burning her cheeks. Cas had been showing up in her dreams more and more. “Where are Sam and Dean? What’s going on?” Her frantic rambling was cut short when Cas took her hand.

“I apologize for invading your privacy. I needed to get you out and I figured the place of your dreams would be most calming. As for Sam and Dean, they’ll be fine. I suspect Zachariah is conducting his experiment as we speak. I just couldn’t let him include you. I had to be the one to tell you. I wanted to sooner but my superiors wouldn’t allow me. I wanted you to hear it from me.”

“Who the hell is Zachariah?” Ali’s brow furrowed with a mix of confusion and concern for her brothers. Cas’ sigh was full of frustration. Ali was easily distracted and they didn’t have a lot of time. Cas approached her and slid his hand up the side of her face into her hair, the way he did the first night they met. The intense stare of his blue eyes was disarming.

“Alianna. I need you to listen to me. Don’t interrupt. Can you do that?” She nodded her head.

“Uriel was working to bring about the apocalypse. I wish I had known before Dean and Alistair. Uriel is dead. I killed him.” Ali wanted to comment but Cas still held the side of her face. “Zachariah is much higher in the chain of Angel command. After Uriel, he decided to pay a visit. Your brother is important to the fight against The Apocalypse and Lucifer. We know Sam was imbued with demon blood. Azazel had plans to get you that night as well but was foiled by your mother.” Ali could feel the shock that donned her face.

”The angels stepped in. We were unsure at the time what Azazel’s plan was. But we knew we couldn't let him get to you. You were imbued as well. You were imbued with the grace of a Third Sphere Angel. They are heavenly guides. Protectors and messengers of human beings. This was to protect you from anything demonic. You are impervious to demonic possession. You are an empath. This is why no demon would trade your soul for Dean’s. They needed a Winchester to break the first seal. John escaped hell when the gate opened. Sam was meant to lead the army. Dean was their last option. Your empathic nature never would have allowed you to torture anyone in hell.” Ali pulled away from Cas’ grasp, turning her back to him.

”Wha...what?” she turned back to him, eyes filled with tears. ”I’m an angel?”

”No Ali. But you will be able to see angels in their true form and hear our voices. Only if we try to contact you. You can’t tap into our conversations like Anna could. You were made to be a warrior of God. Unable to be used against us. You and Dean are meant to save the world from Lucifer, one way or another. You see, you are not weak. You are the strongest of all of us. Lucifer and his army will never be able to will you to their side. There was only a small amount of grace used. Only enough to protect you. I've wanted to tell you since the day I figured it out. I wasn't allowed. But you make me want to break the rules and protect you. You make me want to turn on my very nature. You and your brothers. Anna says I'm starting to have doubts. And maybe that's true.” Ali wiped her eyes.

”You don't trust Zachariah? You wanted to protect me from him. You’re risking yourself by telling me this? Cas...why?”

”I wish I could explain it. I just knew I had to. I am concerned there are more Angels like Uriel. If Zachariah is one of them, I just couldn't take the chance of him using you to his ends or lying to you.”

Ali looked at the crashing waves. If anyone else but Cas had told her this she would have laughed in their faces. The truth was, she did feel things more deeply. She always had. ”You.thought bringing me here would calm me. Off of one dream?” Cas looked away.

”You dream of this place often. I...I check in on you. I know things have been hard on you. When you're at peace you dream of this place. Often times I'm here, but other times there is a girl.”

”Sarah. She was the first person I ever really loved. She was the only person I ever confessed what my life really was and it...it was too much for her. I dream of her when I dream about having a normal life. She was the person my father caught me with and I was forced into telling him I was bisexual.” Ali bitterly laughed. ”Back when I thought that was as complicated as my life was going to be.”

”Why was that complicated?” Cas tilted his head to the side as he often did when he didn’t understand the actions of humans.

“Being gay is hard. People don’t always accept it. It’s unbearable when it’s your family that doesn’t accept you. Being bisexual is often seen as an excuse for promiscuity. And many other hateful things that aren’t true. It took my father by surprise. He didn’t react well. He came around and apologized. I’m sure Dean was responsible for it. But I never thought anything would hurt more than that.”

“Bisexuality just means you love a person for who they are regardless of gender. How could that be bad?” Ali’s smile was barely there when she looked at Cas. For not understanding humans, he saw things so much more clearly than most. “Ali...why do you dream of me so often?” Cas was genuinely curious. Ali felt the heat rising to her cheeks.

“I dream about you when I’m scared. You...you make me feel safe. Protected. If I’m being honest, I’m scared most of the time. I’m scared about what Dean will have to do. What’s happening with Sam. What will happen to the three of us. I’m terrified. When you’re around, I guess I’m just a little less scared.” Cas knew this was stirring some kind of emotion in him. He didn’t know what. The more time he spent with the Winchesters, especially Ali, the more he felt stirrings within him.

“I’m glad I make you feel safe. But I regret to say it’s time to go back. Zachariah is about done with your brothers. They will have questions.” Ali grabbed Cas’ hand and he gave her a curious look.

“Thank you for telling me. It’s okay you didn’t sooner, I understand.” Before she could blink she was standing back in the motel room. Dean and Sam looked frantic and then both relaxed when they saw her. Dean’s face quickly bent in confusion.

“Why are your feet covered in sand? What the hell are you wearing?” Ali just smiled and threw her arms around her brothers and hugged them both at the same time.

��I’m glad you guys are okay. Cas pulled me out but couldn’t get to you guys in time.”

“Cas?” Sam raised his eyebrows.

“Uh yeah. I have some things to tell you. You should sit down.”

Ali took a deep breath and explained to them what Cas had told her. She skipped over their conversation about her dreaming about Cas and her fear for her brothers.

“Wait, wait, wait...Angel grace?” Dean was pacing.

“Not enough to give me any angel powers. But enough for me to be able to see and hear Angels and their true form. Only if they’re trying to contact me. I can’t be possessed.”

“I thought they didn’t know about the Demon blood until they made us go back in time?” Dean was rubbing his face.

“They didn’t. But they knew Azazel was up to something and they didn’t want him to be able to come back for me. They wanted me protected.” Sam had been quiet. Ali reached over and took Sam’s hand. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah...yeah. I’m just thankful that they were able to protect you from all of this. From everything that I am.”

“Sam...”

“I mean it Ali. You’re too good for this. I’ll always be thankful that the yellow eyed bastard didn’t get you too.”

“Wait...so tell me about where Zachariah took you.”

“Oh my God. You won’t believe this.” Ali watched her brothers fondly as they retold the strange reality they lived in.

The pit in her stomach seemed like it would swallow her whole. She felt herself smirk at the thought of the books. The covers depicting Dean and Sam were hilarious. She thanked God that Chuck focused on the brothers mostly for the books. While she had her role to play in them, Sam and Dean were front and center.

”I wanted to make sure your character was protected. I didn't want to make you as open and exposed.” Chuck had stared at her with an intensity that chilled her. There was something about him that made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. Maybe it was their connection to God. Maybe that was why Chuck felt protective over her. He didn't know he was a prophet until Cas told him. Thinking about Cas made her smirk turn into a smile. He had found a way to help them when she and Dean seemed hopeless in stopping Sam’s need to confront Lilith.

Ali had followed Dean outside, both at a loss with Sam and his stubbornness.

”Well, I feel stupid doing this. But... I am fresh out of options. So please. I need some help. I'm praying, okay? Come on. Please.” Ali was slightly shocked. Dean was a skeptical believer at best. Her ears perked at the sound of ruffling that always was followed by Castiel’s gritty voice.

”Prayer is a sign of faith. This is a good thing, Dean. Hello Ali.”

Dean was desperate so he bit back his normal snarky comments. ”So does that mean you'll help us?” Ali watched Castiel with curiosity, but was unsurprised the by his answer.

“I'm not sure what I can do.” Ali scoffed.

“Cas. Please.” Dean’s frustration was building.

“Drag Sam out of here, now. Before Lilith shows up.” Ali felt herself growing frantic. Sam was stronger. There was no doubt, not with how he took out Alistair. But Lilith was a different ball game.

Castiel shook his head. “It’s a prophecy. I can't interfere.”

“You have tested me and thrown me every which way. And I have never asked for anything. Not a damn thing. But now I'm asking. I need your help. Please.” The anger and desperation was dripping from Dean’s words. Ali didn’t have it in her to rage at Cas.

“What you're asking, it's... not within my power to do.”

Dean was growing increasingly irritated. “Why? 'Cause it's "divine prophecy”? So, what – We're just supposed to sit around and, and wait for it to happen?”

“I'm sorry.” Castiel couldn’t meet Ali’s eyes. He knew what would be staring back at him.

Dean lost it. “Screw you. You and your mission. Your God. If you don't help me now, then when the time comes and you need me... don't bother knocking.” Dean brushed past Castiel and beganto walk away. Ali grabbed Cas’ arm giving him a pleading look one last time. Dean stopped when Cas called him.

“Dean. Dean. You must understand why I can't intercede. Prophets are very special. They're protected.” Ali studied Cas’ face. He was trying to lead them to the answer. “If anything threatens a prophet, anything at all, an archangel will appear to destroy that threat. Archangels are fierce. They're absolute. They're heaven's most terrifying weapon.”

Dean’s eyes met his sister’s as realization set in. “So if a prophet was in the Same room as a demon –“ Castiel interrupted Dean’s train of thought.

“Then the most fearsome wrath of heaven would rain down on that demon. Just so you understand... why I can't help.” Dean and Ali’s faces both relaxed. Ali places her hand on Cas’ forearm again.

“Thanks, Cas.” His blue eyes bore into her grey eyes.

“Good luck.” And then he was gone.

It was a rare occasion that Ali drove, but she waited in the driver’s seat as Dean did whatever he had to so that Chuck would come with them. Dean would do whatever it took, they both knew if either of them would back down, it would be Ali. In the end, they stopped whatever was going on between Sam and Lilith. Chuck had been bullied into helping. It was Cas that had given them the answer. Ali worried that he would soon get himself into trouble. He was walking a slippery slope and she was certain she wouldn’t forgive herself if he got hurt for helping the 3 of them. She drifted off to the sound of Dean and Sam discussing the deal Lilith wanted to make. She knew, deep down, Sam would have made the deal to save that many innocent people, whether he wanted to admit it or not.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ali couldn’t get the image of Adam’s lifeless eyes out of her head. This had hit her...hard. She had another brother, a baby brother that John had kept from them. It seemed every time she found a way to forgive her father, some secret came out and sent her reeling back. She never even got to meet the real Adam. It had been that damn Ghoul from the get go.

She listened to the sound of Dean and Sam’s deep breathing as they slept. Light snores floating throughout the room. She couldn’t sleep. She was feeling too many things to shut her mind off. She had always hated this part of herself. How deeply she felt things. Apparently it had been God’s will. She grabbed Dean’s green canvas jacket and wrapped it around herself, slipped her ugg boots on over her black leggings and headed outside. She needed to move and she didn’t want to wake her brothers. At 2am, they would hopefully sleep for at least another 4 hours. She knew that she wouldn’t be sleeping anytime soon.

With her arms crossed, she made her way through the chilly night into town. It was peaceful. All of the shops and restaurants were closed save for the 24 hour diner. She didn’t want to be around strangers. Her puffy eyes would draw attention and she couldn’t stop the errant tears slipping from her eyes. She stopped walking when she heard the flutter.

“Ali.” Cas’ voice rang out into the night. Ali turned to face him. “You weren’t at the motel. I was worried. Are you alright?” Ali didn’t have it in her to pretend. She shook her head no and buried her face in her hands, feeling hot fresh tears pool in her palm. She felt Cas wrap his arms around her and pull her to his chest. “I...I hope this is alright. This is what humans seem to do when one is trying to comfort the other”. Cas took her wrapping her arms around his torso, deepening the hug. “I’m so sorry Ali. I can’t imagine how this is making you feel. You’ve known so much loss. And to lose a brother before you could know him. I imagine that is devastating for most, but especially for you.“

Ali pulled back so she could look up at Cas. For not understanding human emotion he was spot on with what she needed. She needed someone who understood her. Dean and Sam were wonderful but they didn’t always understand her excess emotion. Cas seemed to. He placed a hand on the side of her face while keeping the other arm wrapped around her back and wiped the tears from her cheek as he looked down at her.

“Wait...you came just for me. Not for a mission or something?”

“I could sense your distress. It was unsettling. I had assumed you were having nightmares, but when I got to where you were staying, you were gone.” Ali turned her face into Cas’ hand, whatever he was doing she felt her anxiety waning. It was being replaced by something else. Something she felt stirring for the Angel. Something she knew would end badly. “It’s not safe for you to be out here alone.” Ali cracked the smallest of smiles.

“Cas, I once wiped out a nest of 5 Vampires by myself. I’m not worried about some random douche bag walking the streets.”

“But still, in your state or distress, it would be easy for someone to take advantage.”

“But I have a guardian angel watching out for me.” She whispered. She was surprised to see the softened look that Cas had given her. Maybe he felt more than he knew.

“I suppose that’s true. Let me take you back to your motel.” She realized she was still in his arms and stepped back.

“Only if we walk. I don’t want you snapping me back and forth.” He nodded in agreement. She found herself slipped her arm around his, holding his elbow as they walked. It wasn’t long, much to her disappointment, that they were back at the strip of rooms and the black Impala in her eye line. She didn’t know what she was feeling for the angel next to her, but her brought her an immense amount of peace.

“You should go inside Ali. It’s cold. I’ll come check on you again as soon as I can. Once again, I am so sorry for your loss of Adam.” Ali stood in front of him, studying his face for a moment. Before she could stop herself, she stood on her toes and presses her lips to his cheek. When she pulled away, his eyes were wide. She took his hand.

“Thank you Cas, for everything.” She slipped her hand out of his and walked towards the door to the Winchester room. She could feel his eyes burning into the back of her head. She didn’t hear the flutter of his wings indicating that he was gone until the door was almost closed.

“Al, where the hell have you been?” Deans alarmed whisper made her jump.

“I needed some air, I took a quick walk.”

“You can’t just disappear like that.” His hair was standing on end, he must have just woken up.

“I’m sorry Dean. If it makes you feel better Cas already lectured me.” Dean’s face twisted in confusion.

“Cas?” Ali nodded.

“He said he knew how upset we would be. He must have found out about Adam. When he showed up, he saw I wasn’t here and went and found me and brought me back.” Ali didn’t know why she didn’t tell Dean the whole truth, they Cas had felt her turmoil. Maybe she wanted to keep her connection with the angel to herself for now. He was a great comfort to her, she didn’t want her over protective brother the compromise it.

“Well I’m glad he came. C’mon, you take the bed now and get some sleep. You look like crap. I’ll take the couch.” She nodded and let her big brother tuck her into bed like she had so many times when they were younger. He kissed her forehead before he went to lay down. Dean wasn’t great at showing his emotions, but every once in a while it snuck out, especially when only Ali was looking. She settled into the bed and fell into a dreamless sleep, which she assumed was courtesy of Cas.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

White hot rage was coursing through Ali's veins. Demon blood, Sam had been drinking demon's blood to get strong. How the hell he thought that drinking demon blood would lead them to stopping the Apocalypse was beyond her realm of understanding. The first thing she did was to call Bobby.

"Bobby...I....I don't." She stuttered. She couldn't string the rest of the sentence together. As soon as Bobby had answered the phone she had blurted out that Sam was drinking demon blood to strengthen his psychic abilities. Once that sentence was out, she lost it. The anger and the fear were overwhelming. She really needed to get a handle on her emotions. It seemed to be getting worse as time went on.

"Ali...Alianna. I know. We will figure this out...we always figure this out. Now...in a little while I'm going to call Sam and tell him I need you guys to come to Sioux Falls. And once you're here we'll figure this out. That will give me some time to think."

"Okay Bobby."

"What else?" Bobby knew her better than her own father had. He knew she was holding something else back.

"We....we lost Cas. Heaven put him in his place. Any hopes we had of him being with us on this...even if it goes against what the angels want is gone.

"I'm sorry Ali. I know you and he had gotten...um...close since he showed himself to us. But he's a soldier. Soldiers do what they're told. I know this is all a lot. Just get here."

"Thanks Bobby." She leaned against the outside of the building after she hung up trying to compose herself.

"I serve Heaven...I don't serve man and I certainly don't serve you." The humanity in Cas' eyes had been gone. The way he had looked at her a few nights prior was gone. She had been so naive to think that he could really care about her the way she thought he did, the way she cared about him. She knew better than to open herself up to anyone other than her brothers. She couldn't count on anyone else other than Bobby. Dean, Sam and Bobby...well Dean and Bobby had never let her down. Sam...Sam was lost. He had been for a long time. She had never been this scared for either of her brother's before. This was beyond even Dean selling his soul to save Sam.

She was kneeling in front of the Panic Room door. Her heart lay in what seemed to be a thousand pieces in front of her. Her best friend, her partner in crime, her other half that made her whole had gone so far off the deep end, she didn't know how to get him back. Sam was begging her to open the door, to let him out. She rested her head against the door.

"Ali...please...please let me out. You can't leave me in here. Please don't leave me alone."

"Sammy...I can't open the door. I can't let you out. This...the demon blood...it's not that answer. I KNOW you think it is and I KNOW you believe you're doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. We've all done that. Done something wrong because the outcome will be right. But this? We can't do this. You can't do this. I can't let you keep loosing this. You and I fell apart and this is me putting us back together. I won't lose you. And if you keep going the way that you're going and doing what you're doing, I will lose you. But I promise you that I wont leave you alone. Dean and Bobby...they can deal with the rest of the crap. But it's you and me now. And I promise you we will get through this. I will get you through this. But I can't open the door."

" You wouldn't leave Dean in a room locked up like this. If it were Dean...you'd follow him down the rabbit hole. But because it's me...you don't think I can do it. You don't think I'm strong enough."

"That's the difference Sam. Dean...he wouldn't ever do this. And I would lock him up if he did. And it's not because I think you're week or whatever convoluted idea you have."

"Ali...you leave me in here....we're done. You and I will be done."

"I'm sorry Sam, but I love you too much to open that door." She felt him slam his hand against it, but she wouldn't leave him. She turned and rested her back against the door as she sat down. She unconsciously found herself praying to Cas for help, once she realized what she was doing, she stopped. She knew he wasn't coming. Ali was all alone.

Oh they were both doomed from the start.

Chapter 339

Blykes "Everything will be fine" mentality was the key on what led to his imprisonment, because for them, that's exactly the way it's always been. All 3 of them have gone through more numerous death situations than anyone else in the series, and yet despite being exposed to the reality if their world, they still hold hope. Despite knowing the numerous deaths the authorities drop in order to prevent vigilantes and the era of peace, they still fight and stand for what they believe in. Instead for worrying of themselves and the stakes they're currently going through, they continue forward for the people they see need their help. They live selflessly in a setting where its preferred to live in a way for only yourself. Its exactly this what makes the remi-blyke-and-isen trio so distinct from the rest of the characters. In a world where the selfish strive, the selfless have no place. And here comes Arlo.

From the beginning Arlo was always seen as an arrogant selfish bastard who cared for the order of the hierarchy and control. It's the exact reason on why he attacked John in the first place. Midway through out the story, Arlo is exposed the terrors and reality of the world they live in, processing it in a different approach: denial. It's during this time where Arlo starts to see situations from a different perspective, using Remi, Seraphina, and John's situations as a way for him to understand. He begins to show more of his selflessness in an environment (the Bureau) where only the powerfully and selfish thrive upon in, putting himself at risk. It's been stated multiple times the actions Arlo takes in order to cover for the main 5 can easily get him arrested and stripped from his position, and yet he continues to do so anyways. The change in Arlo was something dramatic and critical to the story, as it changed his environments view of the ways he ruled before, to his act now (ex: elaine, zeeke, isen, cece, JOHN, SERAPHINA). The moment he realized he was living more selflessly, he always reminded himself of the consequences his actions will lead to. Because he himself doesn't want to live this way. And he has said it multiple times as well.

These 2 moments where what set in stone both of their imprisonment. The selfless once again committing an act in order to save another, and the "selfish" going against his own ideals in order to protect those he cares for.

Blyke litteraly had an opportunity to get out. To leave, to live another day once again. And yet a simple act in the moment in order to save someone in need was the result of his abandonment and imprisonment (not blaming isen and remi for this they genuinely had to choice).

And the same goes for Arlo. Despite being the oldest out of the main 6, he's still just a kid in highschool. Throughout the entire 2nd season, all he wanted was to graduate. The moment he uttered the words he was going to kill fury, it was clear he was going through mental crisis. The most composed and well kept character in the entire series was going to be the first one to commit murder from the main characters. And the thing is, it really was no surprise who couldn't do it. That's the contrast between him and John. Both going through mental and identity crisis and similar approaches, yet having different results (but that's for another day). If he did succeed is murdering the very obstacle in a moment that will probably never repeat again, they both could've escaped. But how can an unstable kid commit murder? The best scenario was not killing fury. Because even if all 5 of them got away, fury wouldn't be the only one who was killed that day. Arlo as a person would've died as well. People often forget Arlo is not John, they do not share the same mentality. (And the thing is no matter what John says, he wouldn't have been okay either if he did succeed in killing all the Bureau.)

Which leads us to now. I think it's interesting how the selfless and selfish characters where the ones taken captive in different environments, despite both committing the same crimes on the day of their capture. Because then again, who's the stronger one out of the 2?
