Save yourself- Tommy Shelby x reader

So ages agooooo @runnning-outof-time posted a Kaleo song that I kept listening to over and over again, then @shelbydelrey made a cheating theme celebration 🎉 and I had been working since forever in both ideas but something was missing… until I decided to mix it and this came as the result.

K, I hope you like the result of using this particular song (Idk what idea you had in mind for it), but it gave me these vibes.💖

Isa, I couldn’t decide how to approach this particular theme, but Tommy cheating seemed to come to life by itself… and I hope it’s not too late to celebrate you 💕

⚠️ Cheating, angst

Y/N removed the hat as she walked into the House of Watery Lane, feeling so much better than the previous night, she had to leave the Grand re-opening of The Garrison early after feeling unwell, but after some tea and crackers, the only food her stomach seemed to accept. Polly offered her house because it was closer and she didn’t want to disturb anyone or ruin the fun for them, Ada was finally visiting them, Arthur was the happiest she had seen him in a long time, proud of the new and flashy decoration, and Tommy… well he just was enjoying himself to take him back home just because she was tired and nauseous.

Opening the door, she found a scene she never wanted to see; Tommy, her Tommy in bed with not one, but two women.

It weighs heavier on one's heart

I could tell right from the start that sweet ones are hard to come across

Her heart stopped beating for an instant, while the realization was sinking in… there was an indescribable ache, so hard to breathe… imagining his arms around them, giving those women the same pleasure he gave her endless nights.

He was just as shocked as she was, and quickly he tried to get up, untangling himself from them, shit, what did he do? Y/N didn’t deserved that. As she felt her stomach up in her throat, she couldn’t watch them anymore.

Snapping fast from her trance, she found herself turning around, strangely calmed, a realization hitting her like a bullet, heartbeat now drumming against her ribs, her fingers felt numb, clumsy, as if she had a big cloud inside her head.

She wasn’t going to make a huge drama out of it, she wouldn’t ask for explanations, she didn’t feel like listening to lame excuses to justify his actions. No, she walked out of there in silence, with her heart shattered into million pieces, yes, but she would get over it, just like she had been all of her life.

Tommy rushed to get dressed, shouting for her to wait, he would ask for forgiveness, beg on his knees, tell her it was just a mistake. Fumbling with his pants, he picked up his peaky cap from the floor, breaking an empty bottle of whiskey as he stumbled. Trying hard to tuck in his shirt inside of his pants, but she was gone already. She was the best thing of his fucking life and he ruined.

Heart like yours is rare to find

Someone else's gain will be my loss

Revenge could come in different forms, she could’ve steal all the money from the safe in their room or the one in his office, fuck him over, force him to buy her expensive presents to make it up for it all, she could fuck anyone right there in front of him just to give him back what he did. Anyone would suggest make him pay, make him beg and watch him suffer…

But she wasn’t going to make an scandal. No, her reaction was much lethal than that.

She would leave in silence, without tears, without shouting, no pointing fingers.

He turned out to be just like his father, she knew that would kill him, the comparison.

Choose your words before you speak

Can you see that all you've got is time?

Tommy rushed down the street cursing at himself, feeling the worse headache forming and found her in their bedroom, a single travel bag over the bed, she was calmly folding her clothes.

Just as she packed their bags to go to their country house.

“Y/N please.” Tommy pleaded desperate.

His words meant nothing now, all of those empty promises, the dreams they had together… gone.

Seeing her like that was worse than hear her shouting, breaking things, yelling at him. That would’ve been the expected reaction after what she saw. But she wasn’t even crying or hitting him, he deserved that.

He’d have preferred that, a million slaps than this.

She took a moment to check her belongings and walked towards the dresser to retrieve her passport and important papers. She arrived to this house with just a few things and she would leave just about the same.

“Y/N… nothing I could say could repair what I did, but I swear it meant nothing, it was a mistake, I was so drunk…” she wasn’t even listening to him anymore, it was just a buzz in the back of her mind. “I lost control…” he drank a lot, mixed it with an obscene amount of snow, didn’t even realize…fuck.

Walking into the nursery, she went directly to the first drawer and carefully, took a blanket that Polly knitted for the baby, the nappies and the rabbit that Ada bought for their unborn child. Yeah, she really didn’t need all those expensive gifts he gave her.

“I’ll go somewhere else, you can stay here I won’t bother you,” Tommy kept babbling while she walked past him, back into the bedroom they once shared.

Still in complete silence.

He knew Y/N better than the palm of his hand, he knew he should stay away right now, but he needed her to stop packing, this silent treatment only added more worry and stress to his already altered heart.

And that was the only time she dared to look at him in the eyes, making him wish she never did. Shoving away his hand from her body as he tried to reach her.

Tommy deserved a slap, deserved to have his balls cut, but she wasn’t going to lose time in that.

He started to see white dots when Y/N closed the bag, it wasn’t completely full yet and she seemed to be done.

And not just with the bag, but with him as well.

Tommy rubbed his hands all over his face, lost for words, feeling his entire world coming to an imminent end. It didn’t matter that he was stronger than her, in that very moment he felt so small, so useless, knowing that nothing he did, would make her change her mind.

But he tried, he tried to grab the bag from her hands as she stood at the top of the stairs, still begging for forgiveness.

“Fine, I don’t need that either.” She wasn’t even going to try to fight him over the bag, especially not close to the stairs, she just wanted to leave.

She knew she deserved better, not because she was someone important, but because she knew her value and she wanted respect, simple as that. Birmingham could be his territory, but he wasn’t her owner.

“No no, Y/N, listen to me please…” he rushed down, to stop her from opening the door.

But she was determined to leave, with or without the bag, of course that wasn’t going to stop her.

Before she met him, she had several wooers, with better intentions than him, but he was determined to make her fall for him, and that was the greatest mistake of her life.

Oh darling, save yourself for someone else

“We’ve a story together, Y/N, please…”

Save yourself

Oh, won't you save yourself?

“You can’t take away my child!” He snapped breathlessly, panicking because he was running out of time, of reasons to make her stay.

Are you going to break?

The look Y/N gave him, could’ve easily turned him into stone, a sarcastic smile playing in her lips.

“Now it’s a good time to remember you have a baby on the way, should’ve think of that last night, don’t you think?”

Y/N ripped the bag from his hand.

It would be just her baby and herself, away from this life, away from the risks, away from his lies.

She was unsure of a lot of things, but there was one around her mind in that very moment, sometimes you need to save yourself.

The worst part of it, was that Tommy knew deep down, that Y/N would be better off without him.

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐫 ||𝐇.𝐀𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲

summary : Haymitch finds solace in a friendship with young (Y/N). Now Haymitch is outside, watching. (Y/N) is in the Arena, fighting.

song inspo: "There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair" - The Great War by Taylor Swift

pairing : Haymitch Abernathy x fem!reader (platonic)

word count : 1.8 k

contains : angst, hurt no comfort, betrayal, found family trope, violence, some gore, death, this story is set way before Katniss and Peeta's games. Also, first time writing for this character so probably a bit OC Haymitch hahaha.

a/n : Here you have my first moodboard !!! I wanted to try and capture the vibes of the story in three images and I'm pretty proud of myself. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story :) PD: shoutout to @sarahisslytherin for being so supportive everytime I have a crisis hahaha. Comments are always appreciated 🩷

“I think it’s time I have another dose of that medicine they've sent'' she said as a cue for him to get up from his spot and hand her the remedy inside the metallic jar. (Y/N) had been sick for a day and a half and, even though it was the boy's fault that they had encountered the monster that had bitten her, she wasn’t holding it against him. She knew she could trust him ; at the end of the day, the male tribute from her district had made an alliance with her and she had been doing everything in her power so that he didn’t die. He stood up and handed her the jar. 

Haymitch had awoken suddenly after falling asleep on the couch while watching the games in the room designated to the mentors. The constant worry was affecting his sleep schedule and his appetite detrimentally. Not for the boy, no ; he didn’t give a shit about that brat who had skipped all the training sessions and had dismissed his mentor every time he tried to give them valuable advice. He was anxiously picking his lips for her, for (Y/N).

People thought Haymitch had met her after the Reaping, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Ever since (Y/N) was little, she roamed the District streets in solitude, as her mother had died and her father was extremely neglectful towards her. A younger Haymitch had recently become the District 12's victor and was beginning to develop a certain addiction to alcohol when, one cold afternoon, he encountered a young child by the gates of Victors Village.

Her sparkly eyes caught his tired gaze and a stare contest began. "I don't have time for this bullshit" he crankly thought while looking away. She asked him his name and that if that big house was his. He turned around and wondered whether he should engage in a conversation with the child who obviously had no better place to be at. He noticed the kid was underfed and didn't wear any winter clothes. The heart that had stopped beating after surviving the Hunger games came back to life , like a phoenix being reborn from its ashes. From that day on a very special bond was created between the two unfortunate souls. He was still very grumpy and had a little problem with drinking, but (Y/N) made him want to do better. She was incredibly smart and her sarcasm was one of the very few things that made the former tribute laugh. Their talks and dinners were a secret to the rest of the world ; he couldn't risk hurting the girl he had grown to love as a daughter.

He soon discovered her birthday was the day after the Reaping. This year she would turn 19 and the panic the Reaping used to cause her would finally end. Just one more year of not getting chosen and she could live a peaceful life, just like she had always dreamed of. The latter year Haymitch had been talking about taking her in as his daughter, as her father had also passed away. But before that could happen, the most disgustingly ironic thing happened.

"(Y/N), (Y/N) (Y/L/N)" 

One day, she only needed one more day. But it seemed useless to whine about something that would not change anyway. The other tribute was a boy nobody really talked to, so neither she nor Haymitch had any idea of what to expect from him. To say that the mentor was devastated was an understatement. But he could not show it, his face impassible as ever instead. 

He was there for every meltdown before the dozens of events, for every doubt she could have about how to make it out of the Arena alive, for every nightmare about what fate had planned for her. Haymitch observed with a worried frown how nobody approached (Y/N) during training week ; she was very astute but her mentor had stressed the importance of making alliances in order to have more chances to survive, and seeing how she was going to be all alone out there compressed his chest with acute pain.

He did everything in his power to prepare her for the multiple dangers she could be facing out there. Still, Haymitch’s mind couldn’t help but explore the darkest scenarios ; optimism was never one of his qualities. In the end, the apathetic boy from 12 decided to make an effort at the end of training season and he turned out to be a magnificent and stealthy climber ; he also started to get close to (Y/N) and they decided to team up. The change of attitude shocked Haymitch but since (Y/N) was much more calm and focused, he didn't put too much thought into it.

The District 12 mentor stared at the bright screen in front of him and watched how (Y/N) was sound asleep. The last 3 hours had been pretty dull on their part of the prefabricated habitat : he had gone out to collect some wood and after he had returned, he lit a fire and offered to watch out for any intruders while she slept. 

Suddenly, Haymitch noticed how the young male had started pacing back and forth in a nervous manner. His instinct of suspecting of everything anyone does kicked in very quickly. The tribute started sobbing heavily as he wielded the dagger he had managed to obtain from the cornucopia a few days earlier. His shaky hands lifted the weapon in the air and, with all the strength the teenager possessed, he stabbed her. 

The blade of his dagger penetrated her back with disturbing ease. He felt as if someone had put him on autopilot and, despite (Y/N) turning to feebly try to defend herself from the unexpected attack, he kept her still against the cold ground and continued to inflict the fatal wounds.

Her shuddering screams reached her assailant's ears like a distant echo. On the television, however, (Y/N)'s last words were perfectly understandable. His name. She was screaming his name. Haymitch couldn't quite detect whether the screams were a conscious call as a hurried form of farewell or a primal instinct in search of comfort triggered by a delusional pain that caused her to abandon all logic or coherent thought. If he had to bet, he would go for the second option, considering how quickly she was bleeding to death and the panicked expression on her face as she realized her life was rapidly coming to an end.

The stabs were becoming significantly weaker and that could only mean that the adrenaline rush that had originally enabled him to act in favor of his secret plan had slowly faded, only to leave him stranded in the tragic reality he had created. The screams stopped quite quickly, as she was choking on her own blood. The lack of cries caught the attention of the aggressor, who looked down and saw how (Y/N) breathed out for the last time. His shirt was a crimson mess. However,  nothing could compare with the bloody puddle that was coming out of her body. 

Leaving no time to mourn or process the scene in front of him, the Careers appeared and found the violent scene already over. Without an ounce of remorse or repulse, one of the District 1 tributes made their way towards the paralyzed teen and the corpse.

“There’s no time to waste. Give us her supplies, we’ll take them to our hidden spot in the skirts of the mountain. Meanwhile, you must go to the Cornucopia and bring some more food and weapons. You’ll join us later” The commanding voice of the male tribute intimidated the boy from 12 who obediently began to hand them what used to be (Y/N)’s : the matching axes, the food she had collected and had determined to be safe to consume, the medicine that was supposed to help her heal from the bites of the venomous creature. 

Haymitch beheld the horrific scene shown on the gigantic TV totally disassociated from reality ; he couldn’t move but the uneasiness crawling up his skin created a tight and uncomfortable feeling that he urgently needed to shake off. How could the boy be so stupid, so naive ? The Careers would kill him after he had completed the tasks they had ordered him to do; he was just a pawn in their master plan to win that hellish competition.

The camera pointed towards the interior of the cave where the body of the young woman laid still. Haymitch could barely recognize the corpse; that could not be the girl that brought light back to his life after living in the dark for so long or the young adult who respected him but also held him accountable when he messed up. No, that was not her. His brain could not assimilate the idea of her dying in such a vile and miserable way. That scum, poor excuse of a man would regret breaking his word, backstabbing his daughter like only a coward would.

He wished him a slow, painful and sanguinolent death. Actually, he wished he could have entered that damned Arena and done the job himself ; if you want something done right do it yourself, right? After a couple of seconds, the sound of the canyon and the image of (Y/N) projected in the sky appeared on the TV and as fast as they came, they disappeared from the screens, moving on to something much more entertaining for the expecting audience. 

He quickly excused himself from the room before anyone could begin to notice the grief in his expression. In the quietness of his private room, he started wailing and throwing everything in his way around, tearing all his belongings to pieces as a way to channelize his pain. After a while, he stopped only to approach the drinks cabinet provided by the generous Capitol, and he poured himself one of the many drinks he would have that night and the days to follow.

His heart began to develop another stone wall around itself, but this time it would never ever be destroyed, not like (Y/N) had managed to all those years ago. This time he would drown all his sorrow and any kind of emotion in all the types of liquors he could find. He would close himself to the world ; nobody would carve him open again, nobody would get so close to the real version of himself. He vowed then and there to abandon all hope and just let the years go by until the arrival of his final day. 

He exited the room only to sit on the balcony floor. While staring at the night sky, he felt a tear rolling down his left cheek ; after releasing a shaky breath, he raised the glass that contained his numbing remedy and murmured : 

" 'till we meet again, sweetheart"

YOU PLAY COOKIE RUN KINGDOM !? omfg you just got like, 10x cooler. Fav cookie ?

I haven’t played the game for one hundred years (couple months) but with the new, upcoming plot line? I really wanna come back and catch up 🤭 I mean, Dark Cacao’s kingdom waging war against a nihilist deity that can Thanos snap people out of existence, with the possibility of Dark Choco joining the fight??? Helping his dad??? And he doesn’t seem to have that damned cursed sword anymore?! Count me in!

(Pic by me)

Ok so my number one def has to be Unicorn cream cookie. I love their design, the concept of a magical wonderland for cookies, the drama fulfilment cotton candy aesthetic and loved the plot line as well. It gave me big Peter Pan vibes.

My second place is definitely shared between Dark Choco and his dad. I like their drama, their plot line and massive misunderstanding. It hurts and I want them to be happy. I still remember when Dark Choco’s plot-line came out and his backstory was revealed in what was essentially a suppressed traumatic memory. Deep down, behind the curse, he loves his father, wants his approval and feels deeply regretful of ever picking up the sword that now shackles him to violence.

On the other hand, I have a little bit of a love/dislike relationship with Dark Cacao. He is a king with a big K. He’s not the most outwardly loving individual, and that is to be expected of the harsh environment he grew up in. The snowy tundra is tough, so you gotta be tougher, and the kingdom he rules is one of warriors. A literal "warrior nation" as he called it, so Cacao did everything he could to raise a powerful, just warrior out of his son. A future king to rule his land with an iron fist, but one that shields its people from harm rather than squandering them.

HOWEVER.

Cacao himself admitted it in his speech, quote, “My life’s greatest regret, is that I never gave you (Choco) enough love.”

What we get from his whole speech, as well as the persona Dark Choco used to have before the sword incident, was that as much as Cacao loved his child, that love didn’t translate well into his actions. Most likely he was very present physically and as a mentor, but not present emotionally, and now sees it as the reason for why Dark Choco went against him (though we as players know that the problem lies in the sword).

People say that actions matter more than words but words hold immense power, especially on kids, and Dark Choco may have become the pompous up-and-coming hero we knew him as before the curse precisely as result of lack of emotional attention. It was Dark Choco’s way of making his dad proud, as well as getting attention from other cookies. Not to say that he didn’t genuinely want to help; Cacao made it clear that he invested a lot of time into raising Choco into a man with a strong moral compass, and we definitely see that in the way he fights against the sword’s control.

Anyway, yes, I love the silly whimsy cookie game 🥰🥰🥰

[theerurishipper]

After learning about the leaks about Paris special, I just want to say that all of the comics and headcanons fans created speculating how they would be in emoverse are much better than what we got. Wouldn't it be ironic to say that they're born evil like Chloe in ogverse and that some backstory doesn't justify their wrongdoings. They are evil and very much proud of it with either their cringe worthy fails or terrifying terrorism

Agreed. Like, I don't mind the arc they were intending for with Chloe, I don't mind them showing that some people can't change, but then they'll redeem the terrorist/abuser. And they'd rather say that Chloe is just inherently evil without exploring or acknowledging the backstory and motivations they wrote for her. That's the issue here. And now Shadybug and Claw Noir are going to get some half-assed redemption. Honestly, I would have preferred them being evil, you know, like an everyone has a good and bad side in them and who you are depends on the choices you make kind of thing, especially since Miraculous is so fond of redemptions.

I get it, that's just my wish and the show doesn't have to follow my exact preferred storyline to be good, but the information we have doesn't paint a very promising picture either way. Considering the bullshittery of the Season 5 finale and Gabriel's shitty-ass redemption, it really just feels like this special is pushing the Gabe Is Good agenda in our face, you know? I mean, Guardian Angel? For the child abuser in our main continuity? The one who doesn't seem like he did a good job in the alternate timeline either seeing as his son was so unable to process his grief that he became a magical terrorist? This guy is called Guardian Angel? I mean, maybe he did his best, but we won't know until we watch the special, and the show has a habit of blaming Adrien for Gabriel's actions anyway, so. It just feels like it's pushing the "some people are good and some people are evil no matter in what continuity, and Marinette and Adrien are good deep down, and so is Gabriel. But Chloe is just always evil lmaooooo." I don't mind it too much, but shit's still kinda weird, man.

And like, what do you mean "Shadybug and Claw Noir don't even like each other?" That's kind of the whole appeal for a lot of people lmao, and they hate each other? I mean, I'm not going to judge it based on my expectations and say it's bad just because I didn't get what I wanted, but... really? And I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say Hesperia and Claw Noir have no personal interaction despite them being father and son and Adrien's motivation being to bring Emelie back. Like, at a certain point, it crosses the line from being my insignificant expectation to being just... bad choices and an inability to create proper payoff. I think Hesperia interacts more with Marinette than Adrien in this special. Getting major Season 5 finale-esque "Marinette replaces Adrien in his arc" vibes.

But I'm not disappointed, surprising as that sounds. I never expected it to be good. I was always just here to see Claw Noir on screen so I can properly pick him up and toss him into my fanfics. I was excited for the special, sure, but I didn't have my hopes up and the leaks seem to have proved me right. Idk, maybe they'll surprise me. I doubt it though.

Thank you for your ask!

Merlin S1 rewatch: episode 5

here we go! again!!

today we are watching the Lancelot episode. just a few random comments because. I am so very sleepy and I deleted the first draft by accident.

A nice little episode all in all. Nice set up for an incredibly sexy recurring character. Some nice foreshadowing. What's not to like?

• I like how this episode opens. Merlin picking mushrooms, looking so baby. Eyes full of awe and wonder. Looking like... like he's never seen a mushroom in his life, in fact. Anyway, something very cottagecore about this. Fairy vibes.

• Also he's scarfless? For much (most?) of the episode? It looks like early in the series they weren’t so obsessively attached to Merlin’s neckerchief as part of his character design

• I love how Merlin doesn’t even try to use magic against the Griffin. He just falls on his back, shuts his eyes and goes, “Welp, guess I'll die”

• HOW DID MERLIN CARRY LANCELOT BACK TO CAMELOT

• “Ever since I was a child I've dreamed of coming here. It's my life's ambition to join the knights of Camelot.” -> Guy who's spent his whole life dreaming about becoming a knight of Camelot doesn’t know the first thing about the job requirements

• (No but really, the funniest thing about this episode for me is Lancelot’s utter shock at finding out only noblemen can be knights. That's, like. The first thing about the knights of Camelot, it seems like. You’d think he would have done some basic research beforehand. But that's also how I apply to jobs so I won't make fun of him too much)

• Merlin is such a hype man, “LANCELOT THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE YOU!!” This is literally what he says! He’s adorable.

• Merlin's acting like a kid who's found a stray puppy on the side of the road and is trying to convince his dad to keep him. “He’s great, you’ll love him, I promise. He won’t be any trouble I’ll walk him every day”

• MERLIN: “He's saved my life” / ARTHUR: “That's blown it for starters” -> ARTHUR IS FUNNY. I just feel the need to point out that Arthur is funny, actually. Especially when he’s being a cunt.

• MERLIN: “You're not a nobleman by any chance, are you?” / LANCE: “haha, good lord, no” -> someone didn’t read the job description 👀

• The way Gaius pointedly glares at Merlin after telling Lancelot he’s sorry he can’t be a knight… Like, he knows his son might be tempted to do something stupid about it (commit crime)

• I did not remember Lancelot’s tragic Origin Story!

When I was a boy, my village was attacked by raiders from the northern plains. They were slaughtered where they stood, my father, my mother. Everyone. I alone escaped. I vowed that day that never again would I be helpless in the face of tyranny. I made sword craft my life. Every waking hour since that day, I devoted to the art of combat, and when I was ready, I set forth for Camelot.

"Every waking hour since that day, I devoted to the art of combat" -> Yeah that sounds like a sane and healthy way of dealing with the trauma of losing both your parents and your entire village in one go, well done my boy

• Merlin looks SO proud of his little fraud scheme! BE GAY DO CRIME

• Seriously he is such an instigator! He says, “DAMN THE RULES, THE RULES ARE WRONG”! But he can see Lancelot’s obvious reluctance so he’s like, “We're not breaking the rules, we're bending them” HE’S SO SNEAKY I LOVE HIM

• This is such a basic narrative trope (if it even is a trope) but I love first meetings of characters who are going to become famously important to one another. I'm talking, like, Holmes and Dr. Watson. Or yes, Merlin and future King Arthur. There’s just something about it that I find delightful. "They don’t even know!! They have no idea. But I do!" This is about Gwen and Lancelot.

• Such a cute Meet Cute™. I love the way it plays with what we know is going to happen. Even if we don’t exactly know how it's going to happen in the series, Guinevere and Lancelot’s romance is the stuff of legends. I love their obvious and immediate mutual attraction. The slight awkwardness. The foreshadowing! “I'm not a knight yet, my lady” / “And I’m not a lady.” NO YET, BUT YOU WILL BE!! AAAAAH

• I didn’t pay much attention to it the first time I watched this episode but Lancelot speaks in such a formal, lofty way compared to everyone else. He literally sounds like he walked out of a book of chivalric romance. "I faced it myself, Sire. Some days past. I struck it full square. I wondered how it endured"; "Arthur stands in mortal peril", like WHO TALKS LIKE THIS. BE NORMAL. But it never crosses the line into being obnoxious, and I love how his character is defined through his speech as well as by his behaviour. Well done, writers.

• LANCELOT: "Are you two...you know" -> Lancelot wastes no time in checking if Gwen is on the market. GOOD FOR HIM. (I like how Merlin finds the idea of dating Gwen literally laughable. Bit harsh, that).

• “She seems lovely. Guinevere.” / “Oh, yeah. Yeah, she is. And the best seamstress in Camelot, I promise” -> MERLIN THIS MAN DOES NOT CARES ABOUT GWEN'S SKILL AS A SEAMSTRESS OPEN YOUR EYES YOU SILLY CHILD

• (But no, to be fair to him, he did notice)

• Arthur just... just BITCH-SLAPPING Lancelot out of the blue is actually hilarious. He's a comedian and he doesn't even know it.

• Merlin still acts like a bit of a teenager with Gaius in this ep. When Gaius discovers his forgery of the seal of nobility, Merlin tells him, “if you wanna punish me for it, go ahead” and then walks off! I’m sorry, this is a teenager acting out against his dad.

• Merlin does seem to be still testing boundaries with Gaius, but in a way that's an obvious request for reassurance, too – later in the episode he asks him: “Do you even care what happens to me?” (!!) And back in episode 1x02, when Gaius said, "What do I do if you get caught?", Merlin asked: "what would you do?" Insecure teen behaviour. Please Gaius just tell him you love him!! (He does tell him here, thank God).

• The broomstick fight scene. Much has been said about it already. The rituals are, indeed, intricate. Something so homoerotic about Arthur’s attempts to poke Lancelot in the chest with his stick. What I want to know is – did they know? Did they know when they were filming it that it would look like this. Like, was it deliberate

• @sapphickittykatherine it’s not much but there are some hints of Morlance in this ep. During Lancelot’s knighting scene, Morgana looks at him with obvious interest and asks “Who is this man?” And also later at his celebration (I’ll get to it).

The celebration scene! I love it! I’m gonna break it down into parts:

• “You played God, Merlin" -> I like this line. I think Gaius put his finger on an important character trait of Merlin’s here. He always means well, but he can be manipulative and controlling. Not so much here, perhaps, but it does emerge more in later eps.

• Not Arthur looking at Morgana with incestuous intent 💀💀💀

• “Tell me, do you think her...beautiful?” / “Yes, Sire. I do.” -> Another favourite trope of mine – two characters talking to each other but having two entirely different conversations. A bit like that cursed scene in the Disir, and with Arthur just as much oblivious (actually, could someone tell the poor guy what's going on. just once)

• Meanwhile, Morgana’s making sexy eyes at Lancelot while biting into a… cherry? I can’t tell. Some kind of sexually-connoted fruit, that’s for sure. I love how she also looks murderous while doing it. Praying mantis energy.

• Merlin and Gwen’s conversation is so cute. I’ve said it before but it’s giving girlie-and-her-gay-best-friend vibes. Look at them! They are a woman and her gay friend sitting in a bar, exchanging notes about the men around them. Over drinks. The way Merlin encourages Gwen to commit mischief too! “OH YOU ARE NO FUN GWEN. COME ON, JUST PLAY ALONG. WHO WOULD YOU RATHER F—”

• Arthur or Lancelot? I think I know what Merlin’s answer would be. At least at this point in the series. (Hint: it's not Arthur).

• “I think our Sir Lancelot might have eyes for you, Gwen” -> Merlin playing matchmaker already. I love that he’s noticed, and that he’s trying to push these two together because LOVE MUST TRIUMPH. He’s such a romantic.

~ END OF THE CELEBRATION SCENE ~

• Oooh no, Lancelot’s ruse has been discovered, SIR YOU’RE UNDER ARREST

• “You are not worthy of the knighthood bestowed upon you. You never were. And you never will be” -> possibly the worst thing anyone could’ve said to Lancelot, SIR PLEASE STOP YOU’RE BREAKING HIM. CAN’T YOU SEE HE’S ABOUT TO CRY.

• All I can think about when I see gifs of Merlin talking to imprisoned Lancelot is, “it’s okay hun”

• It’s interesting to see S1 Uther so unwilling to accept that the creature they’re trying to defeat might be magic when later in the series he will relish the chance of accusing anything and anyone of being magic. ...Growth?

(The bisexuality of this scene. Off the charts.)

• It seems to me like they were setting up Lancelot to be more of an important character that he ended up being? I mean, he was important, just by virtue of being Lancelot, but he was in a grand total of 6 episodes. But, I love that we can see Arthur’s obvious attachment (for lack of a better word) to him already. A bit like with Gwen and Lancelot, it hints at what’s to come – he is destined to become Arthur’s favourite knight (I know people like to say that it's Leon, but I think it was Lance. And after Lancelot's death it was Mordred, eventually. If you must know.) I love it, foreshadowing. You can feel the future hanging heavy in the air.

• I didn’t remember that Gwen and Lancelot met again and she begged him not to go and I think they should have kissed here

• It’s so funny that while Merlin’s trying to master the spell to defeat the Griffin, Gaius goes, “Don't worry Merlin, we have plenty of time” GAIUS NO YOU LITERALLY HAVE LESS THAN 2 HOURS

• Actually this is a thing Gaius does a lot, telling Merlin he can make it when the chances of success are pretty slim, which on one hand is very sweet, like I get it he's being a supportive dad, but on the other hand it's also... setting Merlin up to be HUGELY DISAPPOINTED if he fails? I don't know, just something I've noticed in other eps.

• The scene of Lancelot killing the Griffin is actually pretty cool? I like the glowing blue spear (how did Merlin think Lancelot wasn’t going to notice) and THE SOUNDTRACK!!

• Merlin's PURE JOY after Lancelot's killed the Griffin is SO adorable, you just feel so happy for him. YES BABY YOU DID IT!!

• I love the parallel “You did it!” scenes with Arthur & Lancelot, Gaius & Merlin, and Arthur & Uther. Very nice, big fan of symmetry

• Gaius’s pride when Merlin comes back victorious is so heartwarming. I’ve said it before but I'll repeat it, Merlin and Gaius’s relationship is possibly my favourite in the show. I think Gaius doesn’t get enough credit for being Merlin’s main source of love and hugs during his Camelot years.

• “The Code bends for no man” / “Then THE CODE IS WRONG!” (!!) -> SAY IT LOUDER MY MAN!! S1 Arthur is so vocal with his father about what he believes is right and wrong, we love to see it

• Lancelot saying he must prove himself worthy of being a knight – of course, he might have been holding the spear that killed the Griffin but he wasn’t the one who actually defeated it, and this will not do. He must now abandon his life-long dream of being a knight and go fight strangers in a cage for money. It’s the only logical next step.

• LANCE I LOVE YOU BUT WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS

THE END!!

next episode is... one no one really cares about, but I really really liked it the first time I watched it so. hopefully it will live up to what I remember :3

❀ enhypen as hats i found on pinterest

all enhypen members

synopsis: uhhh all seven members of enha as weird ass hats i find on pinterest, with minimal explanation :D warnings: some of the hats are suggestive or include cuss words, but there's nothing too explicit a/n: I HAVE WIFI FINALLY!!!!! so, please enjoy this attempt at being funny while i work on finishing up some stories💜

✿ Heeseung

Heeseung gets two hats.

The first one is because he just strikes me as a boob guy. A titty appreciator. When someone mentions melons, he doesn't think of fruit. And he's damn proud of it.

The second one just made sense to me. He totally finds the green M&M hot— who doesn't? He lowkey likes the brown M&M, too, and he's not afraid to talk about it. He has a slideshow about why the female M&M's need to be sexy again.

✿ Jay

The maknae line picked this out for him because, as we know, enha loves to tease Jay.

He cried when they gave it to him. They were not tears of joy.

It's hidden in the back of his closet because he wants to hide his shame— do they really think he's a terrible father?

He overthinks his entire life.

✿ Jake

He bought this for himself.

He thinks it's funny.

Sunghoon is the only other member who thinks it's funny.

✿ Sunghoon

The reason I said only Sunghoon thinks Jake's hat is funny is for this very reason: they bought matching(ish) hats.

They're fishing bros. They obviously have matching hats.

But the reason why Sunghoon has two is because I honestly couldn't choose one. They both seem to suit the vibe I get from him.

✿ Sunoo

Honestly? I didn't have much for Sunoo. At least, not from my selection of hats I already have saved.

But! I think this is still good. I mean... if he's proud about something, he's gonna be loud about it. Or, at least, he should be.

And this is a flex, honestly.

✿ Jungwon

Another tough one for me, but I thought this matched Jungwon's chaotic energy (or, at least, the chaotic vibes I get from him).

Jungwon rubs me as the type of friend who wears weird shirts and hats ironically, just to embarrass his friends in public.

I have another hat saved that says "I Pee In Pools," and it was honestly a close second option.

✿ NI-KI

I feel like I don't need to explain the first one. Out of all the members, who's most likely to start a cult? Totally NI-KI. And he'd make it about the dumbest shit, just because he can. He'll start a Shin-Chan cult if he wants, and no one can stop him.

Now, the second hat... I feel like he'd find it online at 3AM, think it's the funniest thing in the world, and order it impulsively. Then, when it arrives, he's dying of laughter again.

Similar to Jungwon, NI-KI is trying to embarrass the shit out of his friends in public. He wears the second hat all the time, and the other members (besides Jungwon, because he's in on it) are constantly trying to hide it from him.

a/n: heyy everyone... haha... it's been a while. but only because i didn't have any internet! now that i have wifi again, i can start posting some things. at least before i get busy all over again, but that shouldn't happen until next month.

while i was waiting to have internet again, i was still able to draft out some ideas in my notes app! so, i'll be finishing some of those up and transferring them to my computer so i can edit them and post them. expect good things soon... ish!

[carnalapples]

hi bestie i have QUESTIONS!! congrats on a great year for writing ❤️ and also a great year because i got to meet you ❤️

1. favorite fic you wrote this year

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year

23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t

Howdy Rowan and thank you!! I'm so happy we met 🫂 You’re def a big reason I kept creating this year!

1. favorite fic you wrote this year This is tough but I think… and it’s peaceful in the deep. I’m proud of it because I planned it more than most fics I write lol, and I am really happy with the end result. I think a lot of times i kind of miss the mark with what I originally intended… I do like that because I like seeing what results and what people take away from it. But with this fic, I told the story I originally intended to tell, and I was really proud of that focus.

23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t I went trawling in the trenches for this lol, I forget a lot of ideas when I move on from them. I had a Mass Effect longfic I started that went through all the games, and I ended up doing the same thing as I did for DA, using it as a springboard… I think I also had some Bollywood fics I never finished, and two separate DA modern AU/romcom-type things that lost steam. (One was supposed to be an exchange fic inspired by Four Weddings and a Funeral, but I couldn't get it to work in time) I also had a western AU for DA that fizzled out, so that’s fun.

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year From the care and feeding of lovebirds… I think I’ve posted this before, but I really like the vibes lol:

Simran puts a disc into the player—Madonna, The Cranberries, The Goo Goo Dolls, she’s squirreling them away with a little part of each paycheck.

Maybe once a week, she’ll put on one of her old tapes, something swing, or one of her father’s songs—she listens to them for only half a minute or so before she has to switch them off, and only when she’s alone, only when she can put the hurt away for later. She can never seem to hide these things from Raj. She only has one tape from her father, and it's been in the box long enough it's beginning to gather the lightest layer of dust.

Raj comes through the door just as the soft chords of “Linger” filter into the air, dripping water into the entryway. She can imagine him standing on the mat, beads of water on his coat catching the hallway light as he slips out of his shoes, and it’s all a poem: the rolling thunder underscoring the music, the fat drops rolling down the leaves and pouring from their waxy surfaces—

—right onto her face, and she opens her eyes to find Raj grinning down at her, his dimples on full display as a trickle of water disappears down her blouse.

“Chi—“ she scolds him as she pushes his head away, “I’ll have to clean all that up—“

“I’ll mop it,” he promises, folding one hand over hers where it still rests on his face. He presses his cheek to hers and she can smell his cologne, shivers at the cold dampness of his chest pressing into her back as she lets her eyes fall shut again.

“Come here,” she gently urges, tugging at his hand until he circles the sofa and sits next to her, and then until he lies down with her, both of them hopelessly wet now and bringing the upholstery down with them.

“How was it?”

“It was good,” she whispers, enjoying the soft puffs of his breath on her skin. “I liked the passage they picked.” She came home straight after the exam, the rain discouraging her from any larks to a cafe or the library.

“I was going to stop by the bakery on the way home, but this is an even sweeter surprise,” he says in a syrupy voice. She scoffs even while her chest flushes with warmth.

“Do you want me here waiting for you every day?” she teases.

“As nice as it would be to be greeted by the moon herself every night,” and he brushes a kiss across her cheek as she laughs, “Never. I’d never want to take you from school like that. From your life.”

“You’re my life, too.”

“Not like that,” he says, his voice so fond that she feels she could do anything right now and he’d not have a word against her. “Do you want to order in for dinner?” And he’s off to the latest banal concern, and she’ll never quite get used to how he sees the world, flipping through matters of such gravity and the smallest things like flicking on a switch.

“It’s not Friday.” Can we afford it, will we be good enough to cook Friday instead—

“We can swing it,” he says. “You like Indian?”

She tosses her pillow at his head.

[chaos0pikachu]

okay but legit this is the type of shit I've been seeing and more for the last month and why I've blacklisted every damn variation of buddie and 911 I can think of.

It's especially bad on Twitter; homophobia, misogyny, racism not to mention harassment of the cast and crew of the show and overall just general frustrating hypocrisy. It's all giving shipping wars circa 2015.

Like, being so real you can not call for the firing of some actor for being racist* whilst stanning a dude who out and proud in front of the father, son and holy spirit defended his wife saying the n-word and that he also uses slurs.

[*I put the asterisk b/c the "racism" in question for this dude seems to just be that he downplayed what his char said to two other chars of color in show not even like, something HE said something the char he PLAYS said to which he also said his char was hella toxic for that shit and grew which is a far cry from defending the use of slurs I gotta say]

Saw a post claiming it was "just a screw up" which, that's not a "screw up" that's just racism baby. Him being latino doesn't excuse that. Also what about Afro-Latinos in our community? Them and their safety don't count or something???

And then to share anti vaxx Joe Rogan and Tucker god damn Carlson - literally Tucker Carlson is like THEE dog whistle white supremacist in media - posts loud and proud??

I don't even watch 911 so I got no bone to pick specifically with buddie or stake in the current ship war~~~ but I can't stand this hypocrisy of using real world bigotry as a smokescreen to defend some pendejo fuckboi simply b/c he plays one half of your migratory conspiracy ship.

[A ship that gives major Zutara/Harmony/Swanqueen/Supercorp/Klance/Johnlock/Hevans vibes at that.]

I feel like fucking Wolverine in a bar, taking a puff of my cigar, slamming down my shot of whiskey and going "I've seen this war before kid".

I was moderately interested in watching the show for the hot Black lesbians, that also hot Chimney dude and for some bi rep in the firehouse but I know how this fandom turns out, I know where this hiatus y'all are about to enter goes, I know where this road leads.

so nah, I'm good, bendiciones

using ryan guzman's latino ethnicity to shield him from criticisms of being racist is actually incredibly insulting. like first of all, that man is a white/light skinned latino and second of all, latinos can be extremely racist, especially anti-black.

like this is a man who admitted to using slurs (in defense of his wife saying the n word), reposts tucker carlson and joe rogan on his insta, comparing the covid vaccine to nazi germany etc. this is not a friend, this is not an ally. this is a fuckboy latino who probably realized he gets blowback from his stans every time he posts his real opinions so he's being real careful rn to not poke the hornet's nest.

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

Are there any songs you particularly associate with any of the Flashfam? Asking for...reasons

Ballroom Blitz by Sweet is the quintessential Flash family fight song to me. It's 100% the song that'd play in the background as the entire family does badass fight scene stuff together.

Talk to Much from COIN is a younger Wally's theme song. It's very 'teenage boy' and 'ADHD'.

This one is a very specific cover. How Far I'll Go/Go the Distance by Scott & Ryceejo. Some of the lyrics about sailing are a little off topic but the song is perfect for teenaged Irey and Jai. How Far I'll Go is all about a young daughter struggling with being everything her father wants her to be and her ever growing wanderlust that calls her to explore the world. It fits in really well with a teenaged Irey who is uncertain about the responsibility of upholding the family legacy and just wants to explore the world. This is all duetted with Jai's song about wanderlust. But he isn't yearning to escape expectations like Irey is. He's longing to be a hero in his own right. He doesn't want to be in anyone's shadow and he wants to do it by himself, no matter how hard it is. The final line, "till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms", I visualize as being a reference to their dad. They want him to be proud of them, to see them as heroes, even if they do it differently than he did.

Can't Help Falling in Love by Pentatonix is Barry and Iris' wedding song. Follow My Feet by the Unlikely Candidates is the campfire song Barry made all the kids sing with him whenever they went camping. (He learned how to play the guitar and he thinks the song has good morals)

Dreamland by Fox Stevenson is Bart vibes. Run That Race by Dan Auerbach is Max's song.

Legends Never Die (Remix) from League of Legends, Alan Walker, Against the Current and Mako always gives me 'revive' vibes. Like, this is when the speedster is knocked down, knocked out, possibly dead and all hope seems to be lost. Then from the speedforce comes the voices of the other speedsters and the speedster is filled with love and determination and is able to get back up.

Anyway, I have a ton of songs I associate with the Flash fam but a lot are kinda obvious (like Born to Run or You're Gonna Go Far Kid) so these are just a few of my more unusual picks that I really like.

masterlist

Pile 1

QOP, 8C, Chariot, QOS, 7P, Tower

Right off the bat, I felt like your person is someone who doesn’t like receiving attention. They could also be pretty anxious. They could be someone from your past, perhaps a colleague or an old friend who just disappeared out of your life and is being sent again with this beautiful energy. Let’s say that they are a friend who left and is now coming back: they come with a new, bigger and better energy and are here to teach you some lessons you must learn. They seem to be someone who was seen as weak or too feminine or just very sensitive. It seems that life just forced them to raise their walls higher and higher and not let anybody pass through them. I see that they may have a dark blue aura, very soft yet very deep. I see black hair and pale face. With the queen of swords here I get that they experienced some pretty traumatic stuff in a pretty extended period of time and now they are like “eh, it is what it is, I’ve been through far worse”. I feel like you will not even recognize them, this is how much they’ve changed. You’ll meet with them and they’ll be like “oh heyyyy” and you’d ask yourself “who tf is this guy👁👄👁”. I get for some of you that this person might’ve dyed their hair blonde. I see a guy with very sharp features, with short blonde hair.

They are someone very logical, patient, caring and interesting. They are most of the times very guarded and they do NOT like to have their boundaries crossed. I just heard “DONT TOUCH ME” and a guy standing like 🙅🏼‍♂️. This person might give the bad boy vibes, but they aren’t. They are cold because they’ve faced a lot of shit. They physically changed everything and they are proud about it.

Rigid, Outrageous, Light Green

Homework, Grandmother, Warning

As I said, this person seems to come from your childhood or they somehow remind you of your childhood. You will pretty much not recognize them and might think they are some sort of thread and even refuse to talk to them. They seem selfish and very devoted to their beliefs and totally changed.

—————————————————

Pile 2

2W, POC, Hierophant, KOP, KOC, AOS

Alright, for your next partner I see someone that you haven’t met yet but with which you have a very interesting connection, this connection is probably through religion, belief and faith. I feel like you guys are pretty similar and your energies are very chill together. Your person is someone who loves to travel, take long walks through the forest, spend time with their friends etc. They don’t seem to like traveling with someone though, I feel like they enjoy traveling along by themselves. This is someone who will be pretty religious and follow their religion’s rules like there’s no tomorrow. This is NOT someone who will ever think of hurting another creature. They have a light brown aura. I have a colleague which reminds me of your person and has exactly the same aura and vibe as them. Your person might have deer/innocent eyes, regardless of the gender. They are very friendly and they don’t seem the type to impose their religion on others. This is someone with great material and emotional control. They are literally father material if you’re searching for that.

They love to offer support and help people. They are also very cerebral and well read. It’s very hard to mess up with their brains without them knowing. There’s just too much self control. I love their energy so so so much. You guys are so lucky to meet someone like them. I wish I’d meet someone like your person as well :)) They could have long brown hair and blue eyes. They are also pretty tall and skinny. This person is literally a pillar of stability you will need the moment you’ll meet them.

Critical, Eastern, Outrageous

University, Communication, Confusion

For some of you, this person could be of Islamic religion. Either way, I felt that some of you might have different religions. Even though they will seem very chill, you’ll notice from time to time that they might have some reactions which won’t really make sense (?). You could meet them while studying at the university, perhaps you’ll firstly call each other with different businesses. You will both be pretty confused at first.

—————————————————

Pile 3

10P, 7P, Devil, 2W, Emperor, KNOP

Okay, this is someone with who you will have a very very strong connection. There will be a very strong attraction between the two of you. It could also be love at first sight which will only deepen with time. This is someone who is very patient, very caring, but also very sexual and “hormonal”. I don’t know if you get what I mean. I mean gentleman in the streets, freak in the sheets type of guy. There’s no doubt that you aren’t compatible. You two will meet at a point where they will be extremely bored or unsatisfied with their own life. This is someone who loves to party and to have fun, probably that’s why they get bored to easily. They remind me of those guys who love to provide for their families so perhaps they also value the traditional family a lot. This is someone with a yellow aura and light brown hair. Their hair could be wavy and a shoulder length.

They have a pretty dominating vibe and they love power. I got that they could be 6 years older than you. For some of you I get that their parents might be pretty old or they had your person while they were in their late thirties/early forties. They are very attached to their parents and they visit them on a daily basis. I don’t see them being a mommy’s boy/daddy’s girl type of person. They have a healthy relationship with their parents, that’s all. For some of you I get that they enjoy writing or reading. Weird question: (do u have daddy/mommy issues by any chance?)

Honorable, Blue, Literate

Communication, University, Medicine

As I said, you could be a student, you could go through medical school. They are someone very vocal, who isn’t afraid to express their opinions and is also very respectful towards others’ opinions. I feel like you could have a light blue aura. Overall, I love their energy.

—————————————————

Pile 4

5W, KNOW, 10W, 6S, AOC, Justice

Alright, this is someone who loves fighting. I feel like you might already know them. They are full of will and they’re usually very driven to win. Very very competitive and blunt. I don’t feel that they are into physical fighting, (with a few exceptions), but they’re rather into competing in sports and in arguments. Regardless of this energy, they also give off the nice and collected vibe. They’re probably very close to their families and they might act softer when they’re around family members. I see that they could have a younger sibling which they might take care of (Those people remind me of my crush lmao). This is someone very just and very interested in equality and stability so it’s very hard to sweep them off their feet. They have a very strong rational and logical sense and I feel like you will be like “omg, I love how this person thinks”.

On the other hand, they most of the times seem detached from emotional situations. You two will be very compatible intellectually and emotionally and they will try to open up to you. At first you’ll be very confused on where you two stand together, but later, they will probably just begin to get warmer and calmer and will allow you to “enter” in their personal space. I get that they get jealous very easily and that they are also pretty possessive of what they have/get. At first you might think that this person is an asshole, because I also feel this vibe which shows me that they might make many sexual/offensive jokes. With time, they’ll chill out, don’t worry. You will meet them when they’ll be working on themselves or they would start a new chapter. They’ll be very tired.

Flawless, Ashamed, High-Pitched

Science, Significance, Childhood

This is someone who is constantly striving to be the best version of themselves. They might have a pitched voice tone when you’ll first meet them. When you two will talk they might feel a bit ashamed thinking about how they might’ve acted/what they might’ve said to you. They seem to be into science, I pick up Physics and Geography. They will definitely be someone very important

—————————————————

Pile 5

4C, 8S, AOP, 9W, Temperance

Your next partner is definitely not someone very talkative. They seem the type which prefers to shut up, rather than talk about random shit. They hate wasting their time and they are very hardworking. At first they might seem too passive for your type, but somehow you’ll get used to their energy. You will notice that they appear to be blocked, or at least that they have a wall which protects their energy and thoughts. They could have a grey aura bruh. Their career is a priority, that’s where the very hardworking energy comes from. They have a patience of steel and they are also very attentive. Your person literally bores me, they are so boring :(. I see that they love animals and nature and they might have pets at home. They are a very submissive individual and they enjoy following others. I feel like they value themselves as humans and that they enjoy spending time alone a lot. I am also picking up that they could also be a bit selfish…

Their energy is very blocked and neutral, it’s like they can adapt to any kind of situation, no matter what lol. They are also a peacemaker, so expect them to try and solve conflicts between people. They really value money and they are constantly trying to get richer and richer and richer, so perhaps you guys are on the same ground. I feel like they will be very neutral with you and they won’t really see much value in pursuing this connection… you will be the one holding the power in the relationship and the whole relationship will be based on you and your will to keep this person. I have no idea why you’ll choose this person. I think you will fall in love with their appearances, especially the eyes

Noiseless, Flawless, Pretty

Government, Grandmother, Mother

As I said, they don’t seem to talk a lot, they don’t express themselves and they really love having a poker face. They might have a feminine look, the gender doesn’t matter. Some of you seem to like caring for different people so perhaps you will enjoy caring for them. Maybe they might work for the government for some of you. 🤷‍♀️ Because of their appearance, you might ignore the “idgaf” personality. Good luck with this person lol.

I hope you liked this PAC! Have a nice day❤️

messages from your ancestors and spirit guides (halloween special)

Hi everyone! Since it's halloween I thought this would be the perfect to get some channeled messages from your ancestors and other spirits who lovingly who watch over you. There may be messages for you in more than 1 pile, so follow your intuition and pick which image(s) you feel most drawn to to :)

If you enjoy this reading please like, comment, reblog, share, and follow for more!

⚠️DISCLAIMERS AND TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ Readings are for entertainment purposes only. Readings do not serve as a replacement for proper medical advice. Please remember that nothing is set in stone, and I am solely sharing what I think/feel based off of the energies I’m picking up at the current time of this reading. Keep in mind as well that this is a general reading, take what resonates and leave what doesn't! There is possibly triggering/mature content in this reading so proceed with caution, and take care of yourself<3 All images are from Pinterest.

Here are your choices:

Piles from top to bottom, left to right: 1, 2, 3, 4

PILE 1

They want you know that you're a star baby! I'm picking up on one specific person who's really energetic and supportive of you, could be an uncle. You are making your way through the world and things are falling into place! You're a smart person and you have no problem taking charge, I think this was definitely encouraged in your childhood. Don't sweat the small stuff, and remember that transformation is nothing to be afraid of. You could've had some deep realizations during the recent eclipse. I think if you feel a bit stuck maybe think about anything that you need to clear up. For some of you, this could mean travelling to have a difficult conversation with a father figure. Even if this person hasn't changed or doesn't feel the need to, at least when shit hits the fan you can say that you gave it your all. Don't let THEIR past hold YOU back. There's a lot of emotions going on but the overall vibe is joyful. Some of you could have won a scholarly award, or graduated school or got into your dream post-secondary institution. I'm getting that this was extra special because you were the first woman, or person in general, in your family to achieve these things. Your mother and grandmother are especially proud for you for this. Your family is so fond of you, and even if they weren't there physically to watch you walk across the stage, they are always rooting for you. Make sure that you allow time for yourself to be creative, and indulge in self care. Painting your nails a purple colour and the countries of South Asia could be significant for you. Continue on your path, you will never be lead astray as long as you believe in yourself. When times get tough, remember that you have more people on your side than you know! Oracle cards I pulled for advice: Full Moon in Cancer- A personal issue reaches resolution Gibbous Moon- You're very close to achieving your goal Mutable Moon- Nothing is yet set in stone New Moon In Pisces- Meditate and contemplate Initials that may be significant to you: J, A, O, M, L, Q, Y, Z

PILE 2

They want you to know that you have all the resources you need, you just need to open your eyes! Some of you could be deeply religious, if you're feeling lost, consult someone within that community. There's a choice that you have to make: be stuck or take the leap into the unknown. The season of winter, specifically December could be a turning point for you, things will just seem to fall into place once you let go of what's holding you back. You could have just met some people at work who you truly connect with, share your ideas with them about projects because you could create something extremely beneficial to your company or society. For some this could be starting your own business or inventing/patenting an invention. Some of you may have a daughter who struggles with anxiety- please continue to be patient, shaming her will only worsen her symptoms and will completely destroy her self-esteem. For some of you, you were very close with your older brother or an older brother figure, they are watching over and want you to remember what they told you before they had to leave (maybe in the year 2008?). Something about trees.. stand tall like a tree, maybe? I believe First Nations peoples call trees The Standing People, so this may resonate. If you've been feeling under the weather, take a nice, warm Epsom salt bath- it will help you relax and sort out any ideas (make sure to keep track of any ideas, you might need this for later!). Ireland, Sweden, and the colour orange could hold a special meaning for you. Spend time around animals, this could be a very healing experience for you. Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

They want you to rest before you burnout! You've been working so hard that you forget to go to bed at a reasonable time (you need at least 7-9 hours of sleep to function properly), or even eat. There's definitely some project or life event that have taken your time to recharge away from you, you've been working hard to wrap things up and move onto the next stage of your life. You are the boss, baby! There's heavy saturn energy here which tells me that time and time again you've had to practice discipline and you understand that you reap what you sow. Yukon Territories may be significant, as well as mountains and volcanoes. Some of you may be environmentalists and have been organizing rallies and protests and this is what has been taking up so much of your time. Your spirit guides are so proud of you for taking up this task, and I want to thank you because this kind of work is not easy and often times you will not be taken seriously. You are the protector and wise teacher, most of what you know was taught to you, I feel like you could've grown up in a very close community (fishing communities for some). Your family is always smiling down at you, they are overjoyed that you have remained true no matter what. Accepting responsibility and taking on such huge pressures takes a lot of courage, most people shy away because of how taxing it can be. Keep fighting for what you believe in, and surround yourself with people who ready to help you make changes! Listen to to All Star by Smash Mouth when you're feeling down, it will really raise your spirit up :) Oracle cards I pulled for advice: South Node- Don't let your past hold you back Cardinal Moon- Be bold and make the first move New Moon in Scorpio- Work through your fears Blue Moon- Believe in the impossible Initials that may be be significant to you: P, K, V, I, W, R, U, O

PILE 4

They want you to realize how blessed you are! Some of you could be getting married to a high school sweetheart or a person you met through work. Both of you are very successful people and are coming together to build an empire. This is actually so sweet I want to cry. You have such a beautiful soul and you come from a long line of prosperous individuals. I feel like some of you may have several ethnicities in their family, and you have also travelled a lot. This is a perfect time to settle down or put your roots in the ground if that's what you and your partner want. You are very adventurous and understand the importance of culture and the arts. Please be aware of fraud or scammers, these could even be people who say they're your friend (you could've been friends with this person for 6 years). Even if you grew up in a family that was upper middle class, you were taught that only you can make things happen and riding on other's tailcoats is dishonourable. You are the manifester of your reality. If you are marrying someone, they are the yin to your yang, you complete each other so wonderfully. They've helped you look at things differently and encourage you to be your best self, and vice versa. Forests near the beach could be significant, maybe the wedding venue is in a similar location. Nicki Minaj might be an artist you could listen to when you need a little pick me up. Some of you could speak several languages and this has lead you to teach all over the world. There might've been an elderly lady in Japan that you connected with, she thinks of you often. Get in touch with people if you've been putting it off, everyone wants to know how you're doing. Some of you could be struggling with self-esteem, some because they aren't used to being loved so openly and without strings, and others for separate reasons. Please don't isolate yourself! You are worthy of love! These next few months will be a bit hectic, but the results will be worthwhile. Everything will fall into place. Oracle cards I pulled for advice: New Moon- A new start is coming! Waning Moon- What do you need to release?

[happyk44]

Maybe completely retcon isn't an accurate way to state it. But Rick does tend to forget certain traits or exaggerate others in his characters. Or chooses to ignore things he wrote before. So certain characters appear differently than they did in previous books. Like Ares becoming far more in your face agressive in the show. Even his change from child abuser in TSoM to "I'm proud of my kids" in TLO (Clarisse) and HoO (Frank). Apollo came across as kind of... simple in BoO when Leo is trying to trick him when he seemed a lot more clever in TTC. Like he's upbeat but he's not stupid.

Also I don't get why Leo had to trick him in the first place. I get it was play on the myth between him and Hermes, but Apollo shows up to help Percy in disguise in TTC with zero prompting. Sure, it's his sister in trouble, but he also drives the kids to camp and extends a blessing to Percy in TBotL when he prays for one. You get the vibe that he just likes helping people. I can't see why he wouldn't say "fuck it" to his father and help the trio when they come to him, even if he had to feign being tricked to do so.

Instead Leo coaxing him into wanting the music box is so obvious, the fact that he ends up accepting it just makes him feel kinda stupid. Given how Rick writes, if Apollo was faking falling for Leo's trick, he would've done an exaggerated wink or something. So the reader knew for sure.

Then Hades in BoO feels different than Hades in TLO. He's much more mild and his relationship with Nico is written to be positive, although awkward, wherein TLO he was literally like "nico is a weakling but he's all i got so 🤷‍♀️" and previous books showed him as this intense, merciless man willing to kill Percy on sight. See also the TV show changes - haven't watched the show, zero interest in doing, but he's a lot more gentle, far less scary.

I think these changes have a lot to do with the perception of Hades in the public eye becoming positive, especially with the rewrites of the Hades/Persephone myth. So Rick wanted to shift the view of Hades to match that compared to the whole "the underworld sucks and Hades is scary" vibes he initiated with TLT.

Not that he did well with it considering he retconned Frank from thinking the underworld and Nico were okay and kinda cool in SoN to "oh my god Nico is so spooky" in MoA. And then the whole Nyx thing. Like dude, pick a lane. Either darkness is creepy or it's not.

While I like the kinder characterization and one could argue that the events of TLO allowed him to let go of his angst over Maria so he could be nicer to their son, it's literally been under a year since he blasted a tree next to his son into melted goop because he was so enraged by his kid's incessant chattering and demands that he go help the family he felt betrayed him.

Nico also spent a good chunk of the time after TLO checking in on Hazel and then being trapped in Tartarus. I think he was also searching for Percy as well. We don't know much about how his relationship with Hades improved. Hades even jokes about almost blasting Nico to cinders for being annoying - as though that's not a real thing that nearly happened. Despite it being brought up, Nico doesn't even think about it. Instead he just gets stressed out by his dad talking about his crush on Percy.

The whole thing gives "Hades is just an awkward dad who can't relate to his kids".

I think the version of Hades becoming bitter over losing Maria and having to hide his kids so his brother doesn't kill them is fine. I think him becoming engulfed by this bitterness over the years, the anger intensifying when Zeus breaks the rules, when Poseidon breaks the rules, when Percy shows up and accuses him of stealing the weapon that murdered his girlfriend and nearly killed his kids - I think that's cool too. The idea that his grief is so strong he can't easily revert back to the kind father Nico and Bianca probably grew up with is interesting.

It fits the idea of "holding grudges" being the child of Hades' fatal flaw. Whether or not you believe that was Nico's fatal flaw, it's certainly Hades'. Since he's a god, the fatality falls onto other people. Like his son. And if holding grudges is a fatal flaw, I don't see him magically getting better within a year when he was stubbornly holding onto it for over seven decades. He doesn't have to slap Nico across the face, lol, but even him being put off by Nico having a crush on Percy (rather than literally any other person) would've been more in character than him seeming somewhat charmed by it.

Nico's best feature is that he's stubbornly self-sacrificing. Hades almost killing him doesn't derail his fight to get his father to act. Finding out that his mother was killed was killed by Zeus doesn't stop him. Finding out he was almost killed by Zeus doesn't stop him either. So I don't think keeping Hades as a bitter man struggling to get past his grief so he can have a positive relationship with his son would somehow impact Nico's willingness to interact or work with his father.

This also might just be a personal grievance of mine because it's annoying he's done nothing with it, but Zeus in PJO was a dick, yes, but you got the sense that many of his decisions, even when it came to attacking Bianca and Nico, were undertaken by some kind of logic, even if fucked up. "There's a prophecy about the Big Three kids possibly destroying the world, okay, time to make an oath not to have anymore babies and keep an eye on all our pre-existing kids (so we can probably kill them in one collective group), oh no Hades is refusing to hand over his kids, well, fine, I'll just get rid of them now before they potentially become a problem." Fucked up? Yeah. Makes unfortunate sense for a guy who ate a woman so he wouldn't risk being dethroned? Yeah.

Zeus being annoyed with Jason for calling him unwise at the end of BoO? Sure. Zeus punishing Apollo because of Octavian leading a war against the Greeks? No. I don't get it. To me, Zeus is paranoid, but he's not completely irrational. I don't see the lines of logic. Okay, he wanted someone to punish after everything. Why? It's finished. They've won.

The ensuing war between the Greeks and Romans didn't have anything to do with Gaea either. It wasn't even the cause of their struggles to remain in one form because the Romans didn't find out the Greeks even existed until the end of SoN. And the silence from the gods had started before Jason showed up, so its not like it was caused by the Greeks finding out about the Romans. So where's the logic? Where's the rationality? He didn't punish Ares for helping Luke steal the bolt. He didn't punish Hermes over Luke resurrecting Kronos. So what the fuck.

Also Apollo didn't tell Octavian to do what he did, and if ToA reveals that, oh, actually, he did, then that's another characterization change that doesn't make any sense. Apollo has always been on the side of the main characters. Him secretly encouraging Octavian wouldn't make any sense.

Zeus' descent into irrationality bothers me because Rick isn't doing anything with this to make it worthwhile. Nothing comes from his notably unwise decision to shut off communications with the world (except Jason fucking dying apparently). Nothing comes from the irrational decision to punish Apollo for something he didn't have a hand in. Him trying to kill Nico and Bianca is never mentioned again.

I don't think Rick would be good at writing Zeus being dethroned and I don't want him to try. But him making Zeus cruel and irrational and then not doing anything about it when he keeps writing stories about characters standing against cruel and irrational villains annoys me so much.

Tell me, how do you feel about The Trials of Apollo making the Olympians out to be a toxic family?

I haven't read ToA and have zero intention on doing so. The only PJO-verse books I've read are PJO, HoO and TKC. I have zero interest in any other books within the universe.

However, while I can't speak to the toxicity shown in ToA, I'm not really surprised by it existing. The gods aren't really shown to get along - especially the Big Three. I mean, Rick has Poseidon and Athena still beefing over an event that happened thousands of years prior at the start of the first book, and that beef is still so strong Annabeth tells Percy to his face that they're supposed to be enemies with zero prompting.

Damien x Olivia Park

Thanks for the ask, my dear! ❤️

I haven't realized how much I've missed writing for this pairing. I hope you enjoy it!

Leaning back on the armchair, Olivia’s eyes rest on Damien over the rim of the mug and she can’t help but smile at the sight of him holding their newborn baby. Never in her life she thought her heart could overflow with this much joy and love, yet her love seems to multiply daily, and her only desire is to drink in the perfection of this moment.

Amalia’s head, a mess of black hair, leaned up on his shoulder, he swayed gently from side to side in a little dance around the quiet living room. This time, there were no tears welling up in his eyes like the first dozens of times he held her in the hospital, which totally ruined his cool and mysterious vibe – not that Olivia still bought that act after all the years they’ve known each other, but she made sure to tell him that and for once there was no quick-witted comeback –, only that soft and affectionate smile, still a little dazzled by this tiny creature that somehow looks like neither of them but has so much of them both, Damien’s eyes and chin, her nose and hair, but the toothless smile is exclusively Amalia’s.

The years have made him soft, he said once. Olivia knows the truth: he’s always been soft in the inside.

Now this kindhearted man has become an amazing father, being present in every moment since those two blue lines appeared on that stick. While she was happy, but terrified, laughing and crying at the same time, everything suddenly becoming so real and overwhelming, his touch and words grounded her.

"You made me the happiest man alive," he said then and picked her up and swiveled with such giddiness that for a second she thought it was impossible for them to ever be any happier than in that moment, yet here they are: even happier. Despite the exhaustion and sleepless nights, they are fortunate and the happiest they have ever been. Any smile of her makes it all worth it, and the way she grabbed their fingers with her tiny hand just steals their breaths away.

Olivia is not an overthinker, on the contrary, but her mind works in mysterious ways these days and she can already envision him and Amalia bonding over the years, Damien recording her first steps, singing in her first birthday, crying on her first day of kindergarten if she doesn’t look back at him before going inside – though, no matter what she says, to be honest, they’ll both cry if she decides to be too independent too soon – and all those little moments that will follow, like teaching her to play soccer or braiding her hair or walking her to school. She can also envision Amalia with a sibling, Damien holding them both in his arms, maybe a little boy, maybe more girls… they always talked about having a big family and he is already used to being bossed around by a bunch of loud girls. He’d thrive being the father of two or three girls, maybe they will need a bigger apartment soon or perhaps a house of their own. The idea of a house has been worming its way into her mind lately. They could get a dog and have a spare room to have guests over. They could host barbecues in the yard, and Nadia would paint the kids’ faces and teach them to skate; Steve could prepare delicious sweets; Sloane could help braid Amalia’s hair and teach her about the constellations; and Hayden could bring Dipper and they could all play games.

Thinking about this, she’s so proud that they took that first step years ago, fighting fear and awkwardness to bring to light the love they tried to hide for too long.

From across the room, Damien meets her eyes. He tries to read her expression behind the steam raising from the mug and mouths a silent “What?” to not disturb the baby yawning against his shoulder.

“I love you,” she mouths back at him, and he beams. Despite the dark circle under his eyes, his whole face glows.

“I love you too,” he whispers, and kisses the top of Amalia’s head.

The future doesn’t scare her, because she knows Damien will always be by her side and they can accomplish anything together. Being a family is no longer a dream, and she will cherish like a treasure Amalia and all the babies they might still have.

illuso is a weekly spa day dad. he'll gossip with his kids and nod sympathetically while they rant. he absolutely spoils his kids but being a dad also taught him to be a bit more generous and he definitely imparts that dadly wisdom onto his babies. the day his kid told him they could do their own hair before school he cried. very excited to tease and embarrass them with baby photos.

[astaroth1357]

Hi there, congrats for the 1500 subs. How about the bros reaction to an MC who's an empath?

Brothers with an MC Who is an Empath

This should not have been as hard as it was but maaan, my brain just wasn’t working. Finally got it done though!

Intro:

An Empath is essentially someone who is highly sensitive to outside stimuli like sounds, personalities, energies, emotions, or just hectic/chaotic environments. They tend to absorb the emotions of others into themselves because of this. Though their sensitivity can grant deeper understanding for others, it comes at the price of the Empath’s own emotional and physical health if not given enough time to decompress which can lead to feeling drained, irritable, depressed, or overwhelmed.

Lucifer

Oh boy, if there was ever any demon not in tune to his own emotions…

He started out legitimately not knowing what an "empath" was and frankly he didn't care to know. His main concern was just keeping the MC alive.

Though that didn't seem to be too hard because they apparently get tired quickly… or at least they had to take extended periods away from most of his brothers.

He wasn't sure why, he first assumed it was because they found his brothers annoying but that didn't seem to be the case either...

He'd see them grinning with Mammon after a jackpot, relaxing with Satan in silence, and even crying with Levi over things so niche and pointless he couldn’t imagine that they actually cared...

It wasn’t too long until they set their sights on him. 

They always seemed to know when he was stressed or when he needed to talk to someone. He'd even be embarrassed to admit there were days when he’d just hover somewhat close to them, face more or less slathered with "I really need to talk right now" but too proud to make the first move.

After some time, he decided to look up what an empath was again and it all clicked into place. They probably knew when he was tired because they could just sense it off of him.

And who knows how exhausting that must be for them...

After that little revelation he actually started paying more attention to his own health to keep it from spilling over to them, but he would still go to them to talk from time to time. He honestly never expected a human to become his closest confidant.

Mammon

Mammon has BIG energy. He’s one of those personalities that just brightens a room he walks in but damn… if he’s not a little exhausting to be around sometimes…

Truthfully, he was kind of into their whole “I know how you feel so you don’t have to say it” vibe though it was really confusing to start with...

On the one hand, they never made fun of him for his sensitive side. Not once. And they seemed pick up on the days where he wasn't feeling his best as well, which only made him happy and want spend more time with them.

But on the other hand, he'd be lying if he said that their need to recharge away from him didn't catch him off guard a lot... Hell, for the first few weeks of getting to know the MC he thought they didn't like him at all!

It took the MC sitting him down and explaining to him that they're more sensitive to things like lights, sounds, and emotions for him to kind of get the picture. It wasn’t that they didn’t like him, they just needed to be somewhere calm.

Cue a lot of “Okay human, I’ll be calm. Promise! Ya won’t even now I’m here!” in a well meaning, but pretty loud voice and not getting much better from there, bless his heart...

Even after he eventually gets the picture and stops hanging off of their leg, it does bum him out to be separated for however long it takes for them to get better (at worst, it can be days).

But he really gets excited like a puppy whenever they finally come back again! Big grins and lots of hugs (good luck peeling him off now).

Levi

Levi is... best taken in short bursts.

Though his personality isn’t big like Mammon’s, he does have a lot of lingering negativity around him. Not exactly his fault, being Envy and all, but not great for someone who’s sensitive to emotions.

In truth, Levi genuinely loves being around the MC because they “get” him even if they don’t get what’s happening.

While his brothers may roll their eyes or struggle to understand how he can put so much emotional investment into an anime or a character, the MC would always seem to feel and respect that his emotions were genuine and let him experience them without question.

… But at the same time, that sensitivity meant that they got carried in with him through his every emotion, good, bad, or somewhat erratic depending on the situation… 

Add to that his higher than usual need for validation, investment, and feedback due to his insecurity and unfortunately he’s easily the most emotionally draining person in the House...

It took some time to explain to Levi what an empath was and that their desired space wasn’t because there was something wrong with him or anything, they just needed breaks. Thankfully, being an introvert himself meant that Levi understood this a lot quicker than Mammon.

In truth, being with Levi could be fun and rewarding for both parties. During his high points, his happiness truly does shine like no other, just… don’t overdo it.

Satan

In the beginning, Satan was honestly pretty impressed how quickly the exchange student saw through his fake smiles. They’d know that there was no actual joy behind them and thus avoided him for the most part.

This was before they formed their pact so he was perfectly fine with that. Let them hide, that’s the smart idea.

But after getting to know them and going through the body-switch, he started to see that it was deeper than just some good intuition on their part. Something about them… reflected the people around them...

They appeared to be acutely aware of the emotion in a given person or a given room and reacted like they were soaking in the atmosphere they found themselves in. Taking it into themselves…

It truly confused him.

Satan is the picture of emotional control, it’s been taught to him again and again to always keep a good handle on himself because things go flying when he doesn’t. The idea of being so open to others just didn’t make much sense to him… 

Why would anyone want to live so dependent on the emotions of others? It sounded chaotic just to hear about it...

But after he opened up to them about his own inner doubts he started to think it wasn’t such a bad thing. They appeared to be equipped to help him navigate his own emotions, especially the new ones he didn’t have the best grasp on yet.

He later did his own research into human emotions, discovered empaths, and that put it all into perspective. Like Lucifer, he did his best not to overwhelm them after that but there was little worry about that anyway. Satan is, again, emotional control at its finest.

Asmodeus

Oh, Asmo picked up on their human’s little quirk relatively quickly compared to his brothers. Being emotionally observant is just part of what makes him so good at what he does.

Honestly, he enjoyed just watching them from afar… Watching the way their eyes lit up when talking to a cheerful Simeon or how huffy and frustrated they’d get along with Mammon when things weren’t going his way. It was cute to him, like a child playing “Pretend.”

Eventually, though, he started to notice that it went a lot deeper than mere imitation...

One day, Levi came home distraught about the tragic death of some voice actor he fancied and the MC was right along with him, crying as if that loss was theirs...

On another, Satan had spent the whole day silently fuming and the MC was a complete wreck, tense and on-edge for no other reason than the feeling of aggression in the air…

And crowds… crowded rooms seemed to be the death of them. So much noise and constant input, they’d have to leave so quickly…

Asmo saw all these things himself, without having to be told, and he became a refuge for them when things became too much. He has a big personality himself, but he could tone it down for a time and offer them a place away for a while.

If school, parties, or the brothers themselves just became too much, the MC could always go to Asmo’s room to vent like they let everybody else to with them. He’d keep the place quiet and calm and just help them sort things out...

Thank their father for Asmo’s observance.

Beelzebub

Legit the calmest, sweetest, nicest person to be around. Truly the best companion for an empathic MC to have.

Beel’s personality is positive, sweet, and (most importantly) stable. He’s not too bombastic nor too withdrawn, he’s not riddled with hidden stress or self-loathing, and he’s not even manipulative in any way, he’s just… Beel.

Am I saying that Beel is the MC’s emotional support demon? Yes. Yes I am.

Being around Beel is like hooking them up to a walking battery recharging station. Something about him just exudes warmth and comfort… They could be wrapped up in his arms for days and never say a word yet still be perfectly content...

Beel doesn't really mind them coming to him when distressed either because he likes being able to help them when they’re feeling drained. It makes him feel kind of special, they don’t seem to go to anyone else in quite the same way.

Usually, one of his brothers will be in a bad mood and the human will flock to Beel like a protective barrier. They'll hug him or trail along behind him like a lost puppy, which he thinks is very cute.

If they’re feeling really out of it, he’d carry them around on his back while they rest like he does for Belphie sometimes. Any time his brothers try to get too close to them or look like they’re going to bother them, he’ll just carry them away to some place quieter.

Though, the MC did pick up the deep sadness he felt for Lilith and Belphie (while he was gone) from time to time.... Which, considering how kind and comforting he usually is, just makes that dip in mood all the more painful and distressing for them. Poor baby… 

Belphegor

Belphie is another calm personality to have around, kind of similar to Beel, but since he's more prone to sadness and irritability he doesn't make the best companion…

If Beel is comfort, then Belphie is repose. Relaxed and peaceful, but also languid and sluggish… When Beel isn't around, then he makes a decent second, but only on good days.

Belphie has a mixed opinion on their uncanny ability to pick up on his feelings… He tries his best to be “mysterious” so having someone who can read him like a book gets under his skin just a little…

But he also really likes how much it helps them get to know him and understand where he’s coming from (being the youngest, he isn’t as used to being heard by anybody other than Beel). So, he’s very conflicted…

It didn’t help at all when it came to light that the MC could legitimately tell that he felt very hostile and angry towards them while he was still in the attic. When he asked why they helped him anyway, they told him so that they could make Beel happy again, regardless of how he felt about them which... ouch...

As if he could feel any worse about that particular incident… They could feel how guilty he was about that… right?

Even if they can’t he makes sure that they know that he’s sorry and he won’t do it again. Probably the lil’shit.
