Random AU time, instead of being raised on earth realm and trained by the monks. Raiden is Li Mei's second in command and is naturally gifted with the powers of lighting/thunder.

I need people to know that Rio's behavior in ep 8 was NOT out of character.

That was her finally hitting her breaking point.

Agatha hurt her So Bad with their deal on the Road. She looked at Rio with nothing but hate and venom and said I never want to see you again. When you ferry my soul to the afterlife, I don't even want to see your face. You gave me nothing.

Except she HAS. (hence her reaction in that moment) She's given Agatha so much. She gave Agatha six years with Nicky that he never should have had. She gave Nicky six years with Agatha. She took him peacefully in his sleep and depending on your interpretation, told him ahead of time so that he could have a peaceful night with his mama instead of killing witches.

Then when she tried to kill Billy the first time (throwing him through the glass window), she let him live when Agatha begged her to stop. Billy's soul is within her rights to claim, just like Nicky's was. And she stayed her hand, for Agatha, AGAIN. No one in history has had special treatment like you.

Even besides that, she's given Agatha so many chances to let go of her anger. She helped her break out of Wanda's spell. She's tried to come clean with her, to reason with her, to be there for her on the Road. She defends her against her evil ghost mom. She defends her to the coven. And except for one hug and almost kiss, one slip into old habits, Agatha gives her nothing but her rage.

Sad is better than angry and Agatha has never moved past angry when it comes to Rio, nevermind understanding or acceptance. Because Agatha sucks at feelings and refuses to look at them.

So when Agatha steps off the Road, Rio's finally decided to be pissed about it. Rightfully so, imo.

She said ok baby, you wanna fight? Let's fight. You wanna make me the villain? (When we both know you're the villain, you hypocrite. That's usually your move right.) I'll be the villain. Let's go. Now you're gonna know MY pain. We'll do it your way.

Death by a thousand cuts is what Agatha's been doing to her for centuries so she finally turned it back on her.

And yet even as she's attacking Agatha, she's trying to break through to her. I'm the natural order of all things baby. And you love me. Why don't you want me? There's an awful lot of hurt mixed into this backlash.

Which begs the question, if Billy hadn't interrupted, what would she have really done to Agatha? At the end of the day, probably nothing. She can't outright kill her, it's not allowed. She had Agatha tied up, maybe she would have finally made her fucking talk about what happened to them. Maybe not. But all in all, she wouldn't have killed her. She couldn't. On a metaphysical level or an emotional level. It's the same in episode 1. She makes a big show of fighting Agatha, and then she backs off. She can't do shit.

That's what makes Agatha's death all the more tragic. Rio couldn't and wouldn't have killed her. Agatha could have called her bluff, but she's too blinded by her anger still to see that Rio loves her too much to kill her. Agatha seals her own fate by stealing Rio's power. With the kiss, Rio doesn't even know what's happening until Agatha pulls away. (Some A++ microexpression work from Aubrey there if you look closely). Agatha dies, and she never meant for that to happen. Not really.

She just wanted to fuck her up a little bit. Give her a little taste of her own medicine. Would that fly in any normal relationship? No. In this relationship? I think it was totally justified.

Rebel's talking like other partygoers kids, looks like they're starting to blend in!

Host:

yes, well.... that's why I'm Going To see The King; I'm Hoping to convince him Of Rebel's potential as A Human Asset. I'm always nervous when i see him, but.... I feel More Nervous About His Answer Than Anything else.

*it's best to go now. nothings happening here that needs my immediate attention.*

*he walks up to a door leading into the King's Room. there was a cold breeze inside; a sickeningly sweet scent hung in the air*

*not a second went by before the King had come to greet him. as usual the only thing visible was his glowing face*

Ah, I Know Why You're Here

Host:

I- you Do?

OF COURSE I DO! You Think I Wouldn't Notice Something So Very Out Of The Ordinary In My Own LEVEL? I See More Than You Know! you know?

*the king chuckled under his breath with an amused smile*

Host:

I Know You've Had This Human Child In training, Supply Runs, On Hunts (even killing other humans!) And Other Such assignments. They've Been Under Your Personal Care Half The Time! Taking Quite The Bit Of Your attention I've noticed

Host:

W-well... yes but i certainly hope you Agree With Me That they could-

Agreed.

Host:

Really, It's an anomaly this REBEL! I'd be Lying if I said I was Not all but Intrieged by the idea! But We Obviously Can't HAVE EVERYONE Thinking they can join Us And Stay Human, hm?

*the host fidgets with his hands. the king's answers seemed very indirect.*

Host:

...y-yes, i Know...

party host.

host:

REBEL

HI!!! Feel free to delete this ask upon reading it, since it doesn't correlate with the au itself, but rather you, the blog owner!!

I just wanted to share what an absolute joy it has been reading through these. Hell, I read through every entry tonight!! I even started talking to my friends about it, and it's making me eager to think about my own personal au once more after some mild writer's block.

I'm absolutely obsessed with your writing, and can't wait to see more!! Thank you so much for giving us such entertaining content for FREE!! <3

- Sincerely, mao :-)💐

My tags expired 2 months ago. I finally got around to it because a family member gave me a deadline, saying "Get it done. Today."

That was yesterday.

So, I go to fill out the paperwork, after work, & realized I need my VIN. I'm tired after my shift & don't want to go down to get the number, so I set an alarm for 4 hours later, thinking I can wake up & get the thing done in 5-15mins.

I put in my info, & the website can't find my state inspection. See, 3 months ago, I dropped off my car & asked for my oil to be changed, my tires to be rotated, & my state inspection to be run. The shop did not do one of those three things. Yup -- they didn't actually do the inspection. So, I call them to ask what's up, & am put on hold for about 5 minutes before I hang up -- they close in 25 minutes. I don't have time to get that inspection done before they close, & I need my car to get to work.

So, I drive to a place I've never been before that closes an hour later. There is no indoor part. My car's AC has not worked the entire time I've had it. We are in Texas. I boil outside for 40 minutes before they ask me to pull my car in, & ask me for my insurance paperwork. I figured they would ask this, so I checked that the envelope was in my glove box, & it was. I pull it out & hand it to the mechanic, & they point out that it's out of date. I have the wrong paperwork.

Snap back 4 months ago, when I was unsure if I was renewing the car's insurance. (it is under somebody else's name, & I am very thankful, but it means I am out of the loop.) During that time, I get insurance at another place that charges me a fuckton for the crime of being under 26. The original insurance is renewed, & I am paying 2 insurances for 3 months. The owner of the original insurance finally gets back to me, tells me the insurance is being kept & gives me the papers. I call & cancel my second insurance, & it went out last month. At the same time, I am shredding my old insurance info, including what I think is last year's papers for the original insurance.

I was wrong. It was the new set. I shredded the new paperwork.

So. I don't have my papers. The mechanic asks if I have a copy on my phone. If I still had the second insurance, I could have pulled that up, but it went out a month ago, & I do not have the original insurance on my phone, so I don't have the digitital papers, either. I cannot get inspected. I go home.

I make a plan to go get my car checked today, then get the papers & bring them to the shop later, because the mechanics open right after my shift, but the insurance place opens 2 hours later.

Today, I get in my car.

The check engine light turns on.
