i was sort of wondering why exactly i've been sympathising with Eva so much, apart from, admittedly, bias- i did start considering that due to that, maybe i'd been internally exaggerating how Wolfgang & Co had been treating her. but i replayed some of Chapter 1, and honestly? now i'm of the opinion that Eva was justified to be afraid of Wolfgang, even if what she did in response was inexcusable.
because it wasn't just that Wolfgang told the others to be wary of Eva (and Damon) which caused them to feel othered. consciously or not, he literally attempted to control their movement on at least two occasions- when he attempted to stop them joining in on the exploration of the pharmacy, and then when he demanded to know where they were when they reached the dining hall last.
in his defence, i don't think Wolfgang was being malicious in doing so, i reckon he did genuinely believe he was protecting the others. but in doing so, for the two members of the group he disagreed with, he actively attempted to further restrict their freedom- in a situation where they're all already trapped!! i'm not surprised that Eva, with frustration, mentioned during the trial how much she'd been watched and suspected- multiple times, if i recall correctly. of course it got to her.
but that probably wasn't even the scariest part for her. it was probably just how easily Wolfgang had taken a leadership role within the group and how willing they were to listen to him without question. only Diana really spoke up against him on one occasion and got him to begrudgingly "allow" Eva and Damon to tag along. i mean, on that note, the fact that Wolfgang even casually commented that he wanted group decisions to be allowed by him, following the minor incident of Desmond taking initiative and checking the room locks, was extremely alarming!! like i mentioned, i don't want to villainise Wolfgang, but it does seem like he has the tendency to be rather controlling, whether or not he realises it. i would be willing to bet that the herd mentality implication was done completely on purpose, considering that Wolfgang's animal motif is a sheep and the writing team have done the symbolism in the game so well.
for all this, i can understand Eva's point of view. i know that, as Wenona had mentioned, there's a chance that Eva didn't actually feel threatened by Wolfgang, but i personally am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. because if she was honest about being on edge, that would be a rather reasonable emotional response, in my opinion.
what else are you to feel when you're at odds with an honoured individual who effortlessly holds the power to turn so many others against you too and potentially put your safety at risk, if not terror?
#Eva Tsunaka the character you are...#YES i do acknowledge that Wolgang's distrust of her was NOT irrational given her OWN actions. they're both flawed and that's great#aaaaughhhhh. Eva you're so interesting... haunt that narrative lass#ALSO this is just what i think about what she did to Wolfgang. if anything i personally reckon that harming Diana was her bigger crime#for that i DO struggle defending my girl. sorry Eva love that WAS in fact truly fucked. it must be so fucking tragic to be Diana...#if i were Eva carrying out this scheme i'd probably frame Kai for the murder. since he was bullying her the most after the talent reveal#and i'm a petty bitch LMAO#(Grace also did plenty of the mockery but framing her wouldn't really be possible considering she and Wolfgang were roommates probably...)#THEN AGAIN i guess choosing Diana specifically to frame made it less obvious that Eva was the culprit?#since it'd be suspicious if not one but TWO of the most hostile people to Eva ended up involved in the case??#i suppose if they were all trying to see the best in each other they wouldn't WANT to believe even Eva would frame her biggest defender...#HOLY SHIT. IF SO. EVA IS FUCKING SMART. that is SO clever and SO cruel my gosh#so MAYBE the choice to involve Diana was more than a simple feeling of betrayal/bitterness from Eva??#did NOT mean to ramble this much in tags oops#i just really really like Eva. i need to inspect her more omg#ace's random thoughts :)#project eden's garden#eva tsunaka#wolfgang akire#p:eg#project: eden's garden#project edens garden

No but can we please address the "do we know a Jim?" in episode one? Crowley doesn't ask "who's Jim" or "do I know a Jim". If Aziraphale knows a Jim then so must he, though he might not remember which one is it now.
They're so married.
#imagine not knowing you're married to your best friend omg#in the words of a demon I know โYOU'RE SO CLEVER! HOW CAN SOMEONE AS CLEVER AS YOU BE SO STUPID?โ#i love them so so much#good omens#gos2spoilers#jim short for james long for gabriel

Disorderly Knights, Part 3, Terzetto, Played Without Rests
Francis... just let people love you. Let them help you like they know you need it.
Kate, absolute legend.
I think the latter half of Disorderly Knights is nigh on perfect - the dramatic climax hits and then just keeps going breathlessly all the way to the end. I always feel like this point is approaching endgame, when it's barely over halfway!
#francis crawford#beautiful messed up traumatised clever boy desperately trying to hold it together on his own#i freaking love the somervilles#at this point i feel that kate is the only person in the world - bar Sybilla - who Gets Francis#she knows he loves music and respects women and loves his country and is honourable and good#when everyone else believes he's a drunken raping mercenary lout#and philippa hates him#kate sees him and gets him and loves him#omg i love them all so much#what an absolute ride this book is#disorderly knights#lymond chronicles#dorothy dunnett

FLOWERS BLOOM AND THE SKY IS A DEEP BLUE STAR | LOVELY & VINCENT
@/shadowofyouu's valenweek exchange | for @quads004 i hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it :)
i love these two so much and i'm so happy i finally got to write them. this is crossposted on ao3 and i recommend reading it there as the format is much better in my opinion ๐ญ
cw - song: light shower (melanie martinez), surprises, date night, domestic, canon universe, pre-house rebellion ig, for a very specific very insignificant reason, idiots in love, kissing, a lot of kissing, crying, a lot of crying (happy tears), love letter, they smile and laugh a lot in this one, they also copy each other a lot, vincent plans a surprise for lovely, lovely hates surprises but they love vincent, is this ooc? maybe, lovely's pov
wc - 3.8k
Lovely hates surprises.ย
They always have. Ever since they were a child, they would cry or sulk at every single surprise birthday party thrown for them or glare at any gift they werenโt expecting no matter how badly they had wanted it. Not knowing what to expect always took away any control they felt over the situation.
Now, Lovely wouldnโt consider themself a control freak or anything, theyโve just always hated things that were sprung on them with no prior warning. They were a creature of habit and routine, any divergence from their normal always gave them a little bit of anxiety. Not as much as before, it was a lot worse when they were younger, but surprises still caused them to falter more than theyโd like.ย
But despite how much they hate surprises, Lovely loves their boyfriend more. And Vincent loves surprising them.ย
He was also extremely considerate. Vincent knows they hate being in the unknown so he never springs anything on them entirely. He always tells them at least a few hours before the actual surprise and he always asks if they're okay with it, somehow never giving away the actual surprise but still managing to make them comfortable with whatever he had in mind.ย
Texts that read,ย โI have a little surprise for when you get home if thatโs okayโ
Giggling whispers in their ear,ย โI planned something, wanna guess where?โ
Itโs usually small things, little trinkets that remind him of them or dates on non-special occasions. Gestures he made with the prettiest smile on his face. Gestures that were no doubt small to him but only served to make Lovely fall more in love with him.ย
But occasionally, on events that Vincent insisted on emphasizing on calendars with big overlined red hearts, the surprises got bigger. Like the car he got them for their birthday. Or the entire vacation he planned without their knowledge for their anniversary.ย
And maybe itโs the fact that Lovely has come to expect big things from him on days that were important to the two, or maybe itโs the fact that Vincent has always been their exception, but even the bigger surprises from him didnโt make them feel like they were about to throw up. Theyโre pretty sure he could surprise them entirely with no warning and their fight or flight wouldnโt be as active as if it were from anyone else.
Which is exactly how they ended up here. Their inability to say no to their boyfriend was the bane of their existence.ย Literally.
Vincent had just come to sit with them on the couch, telling them about the date he was planning for Valentineโs Day that he intended to keep secret. They would love it, he said. And they were inclined to believe him wholeheartedly. It just made them a little uneasy not knowing what to expect.ย
โVince..,โ Lovely draws out, letting anxiety bleed into their tone.ย
Vincent rests his hand on their cheek giving them a sympathetic smile, โItโs nothing big, I swear. Weโre staying home.โย
They lean into his hand, pouting slightly, โDo I get a hint at least?โย
โHmm, a hint?โ Vincent hums, caressing their skin softly, โJust a little one.โ
Lovely raises an eyebrow curiously. His smile widens into a grin, โMovies and chocolate-covered pretzels.โย
Vincent laughs at the way Lovelyโs eyes visibly light up, a smile finally making its way back onto their face. They quickly try to hide it, mostly failing at keeping a straight face.ย
โDo you promise?โย
He drops his hand from their face to rest across his chest, โCross my heart.โย
Lovely finally matches his grin freely with a light sigh, โFine. I guess your surprise might not be too bad.โย
Vincent breathes another laugh before his face falls a little, โAre.. you sure youโre okay with me surprising you? Iโve been doing it a lot more recently and I can tell you the details if itโs overwhelming. I wonโt be upset.โ
Lovely blinks, โYeah, Iโm okay. I trust you.โย
They really werenโt that anxious, not as much as they felt they could be. It was mostly the initial idea of a surprise that had them put off for a moment. The unease didnโt last long, because Vincent always put them at ease, no matter how badly their body wanted them to panic. And well, theyโd be damned if they were the one to wipe the excited smile off his face.ย
ย โIโd tell you if I was uncomfortable,โ They add, lifting their arm to brush his hair out of the way so they could press a kiss to his forehead.ย
Vincent doesnโt let them pull all the way back, pulling them closer to kiss their lips. Lovely kisses him back, draping their arms around his shoulders. He breaks the kiss to rest his forehead against theirs.ย
โDo you promise?โย ย
Lovely smiles, โCross my heart.โย
Now it was 3 minutes until Valentineโs Day and Lovely was already regretting their prior decision to let Vincent surprise them with this. Mainly because said surprise was outside and he insisted on blindfolding them.ย
โWhy?โ
โBecause, Lovely, I want you to see it exactly at midnight at its fullest.โ
They glance at the clock, 2 minutes and 50 seconds, and back at their boyfriend. They playfully roll their eyes, โYouโre so dramatic, you know that? I can just close my eyes.โ
Vincent scoffs, โYeah, like you wonโt get impatient and peak.โย
Lovely narrows their eyes, โWould not.โ
โWould too.โ
โWouldย not.โ
โWouldย too.โย
โWould not.โ They say definitively.ย
โFine,โ Vincent sighs heavily, dropping the sleeping mask on the kitchen counter, โletโs compromise, shall we? Iโll just cover your eyes.โ
Lovely hesitates but they give in, of course, they do. The day they said no to him is the day hell freezes over.
โVince, if you let me fall Iโm punching you in the face. Immediately.โย
Vincent huffs with a small grin, keeping his hands over Lovelyโs eyes as he carefully leads them outside. โIโm not gonna let you fall, relax.โ He reassures them, โWhat good would these vampiric reflexes be if I couldnโt catch my clumsy Lovely, hm?โย
โI am notย clumsy!โย Lovely reaches behind them to smack his arm, โYou wouldnโt need to catch me if I wasnโt in this predicamentโย Vincent!โย They yelp as they lose their footing due to the small ledge and their turning to assault him, holding onto his arm tightly.
โNot clumsy, huh?โ Vincent laughs as he readjusts his grip on them to hold their torso, โShould I have carried you instead?โ
โItโs not funny asshole,โ Lovely pouts, squeezing his arm more than necessary.ย
Vincent apologetically kisses the back of their head, โSorry, sorry. I forgot to warn you about that.โย
โForgot?!โ
โIn my defence, I didnโt expect you to turn and hit me!โ
โWhat happened to your vampiric reflexes, huhโโ
โWeโre here! And itโs midnight.โ He smiles, ignoring them as he removes his hands from them altogether, โYou can look now.โย
โFinally,โ Lovely sighs dramatically, opening their eyes again, โThe pretzels better be good..โ
They trail off as their eyes readjust to being open again, focusing on the display in front of them.ย
There in a semi-secluded section of their backyard was a thick duvet laid on the grass with pillows everywhere, fairy lights and candles also placed around neatly. In front of the duvet, there was a blank white tapestry hung on a tree branch, providing the background for the projection of a projector connected to Vincentโs laptop to be visible. In a corner, Lovely could see the presents the two had gotten for each other, waiting to be opened. And of course, in the direct centre sat an unhealthy amount of the coupleโs favourite snacks. Including chocolate-covered pretzels.ย
Lovely stood there in a daze, taking everything in as their mind raced, almost missing Vincentโs next words.
โโa lot, but I thought youโd like this since you like the quieter dates at home more than going out, so. Do you like it?โ He asks quietly from behind them, sounding mildly anxious.
Lovely makes a noncommittal noise in the back of their throat as they bury their face into their hands to hide the sudden onslaught of tears cascading down their cheeks.ย
They hear Vincent laugh kind of nervously and he moves to stand in front of them. He gently pries their hands from their face, โHey, whatโs wrong? Do you hate it?โ He jokes, smiling, but it doesnโt reach his eyes.ย
Hate it, he says, when Lovelyโs never felt more loved in their entire life. What an idiot honestly. Itโs the day after his death-day, which was a little harder for him this year, and yet heโs still thinking entirely about making Lovely happy. Heโs so annoying.ย
โYouโre so annoying,โ Lovely sniffles, dropping their head on his shoulder, โI love it, you idiot.โย
They feel him sigh in relief more than they hear it, humming as he pulls them into his arms.ย
โCrybaby.โ Vincent says softly, smiling as he rubs their back, โI love you.โย
โI love you too..โ Lovely mumbles wetly, voice cracking, โAnd shut up, you cry more than me.โย ย
Vincent makes a playfully affronted noise, โDo not.โ
โDo too.โ
โDo not.โ
โDo too, idiot.โ
โDo not.โ Vincent pulls back slightly to hold Lovelyโs face, wiping their tears away, โDonโt cry. I donโt like it when you cry.โ
Lovely finally smiles, โEven when Iโm happy?โ
โEven when youโre happy.โ
They laugh even though their eyes are still wet, โWhatever you say, V.โย
The two meet for a short kiss that Vincent emphasizes with a soft โmwahโ just because he knows itโll make Lovely laugh, beaming when they do.ย ย ย
โAlright, letโs go.โ He takes their hand and leads them over to the duvet, guiding them to sit down first and not letting go when he sits down himself even as he leans away from them to tap away at his laptop.ย
Lovely watches the large projected image of the screen in front of them curiously.ย ย ย
โOkay,โ Vincent says, squeezing their fingers lightly to let them know heโll be finished in a moment, โI picked a few movies that we can check out, weโll probably get to all of them if we stay out here long enough but I wanted to start with-โย
โWho said you were picking the movie?โ They scoff impishly, gently running their thumb over his knuckles.ย ย
Vincent looks over his shoulder to make eye contact with them, face blank for a moment before a laugh pushes past his throat, โLovely, I love you so much, but youโฆ kind ofโฆโ He trails off, voice lowering in volume as he looks back to the laptop screen, โ...have shit taste in movies.โ
Lovely deadpans, โSay that to my face, Solaire.โย
Vincent laughs even louder, โIt doesnโt make sense to me either, bรฉbรฉ, your TV show recommendations are superior!โ
They pull their hand away from his just to see him spin all the way around with a pout on his face.ย
โLovelyโฆโ He whines even though heโs smiling, reaching out for them with both hands, โIโm sorry!โย
โYou areย not.โย Lovely huffs a laugh, keeping themself out of reach, โSo mean to me.โย
โIโm not even wrong! You wanted to watch Batman & Robin last week!โ Vincent shuffles closer to try and get them back within arms reach.
โItโs a good movie, donโt even!โย
Vincent rolls his eyes, โItโs awful and you know it.โย
โIs not- let me go!โ Lovely squirms when Vincent manages to pull their whole body back toward him.ย
He gives another laugh, โIs too."
The two wrestle with each other for a moment, giggling as Lovely pretends to try and escape from Vincentโs hold. It ends when they somehow end up rolling on top of him, straddling his hips as they pant lightly, looking down at him.ย
Vincent rests his hands on their hips, whispering breathlessly, โHi there.โย
โHi.โ Lovely whispers back, โI win.โ
โDid you now?โ He hums, slowly tracing shapes into their skin with his thumb, โBecause Iโm still picking the movie.โย
Lovely rests their palms on his chest, โNo, youโre not.โย
โYes, I am.โ
Thereโs a brief moment of silence as the two simply breathe, gazing into the otherโs eyes. Untilโ
โRock, paper, scissors?โ They say in unison, grinning at each other
And ultimately, Lovely wins. This is entirely due to the fact that Vincentโin all the years theyโve known himโhas never not picked paper. And contrary to the fact that Vincent thinks heโs slick, Lovely knows this is on purpose because they always pick scissors. But maybe they are no better, because they pretend not to notice only so they get to see the little not-so-hidden smile on his face whenever they rejoice over winning.ย
So here they lay, watching a movie Lovely has wanted to see for a while. The same movie theyโre pretty sure Vincent has given a one-star review on IMDb. But the love of their life lays next to them, looking perfectly fine with it simply because they were right next to him. Even if he spends more time watching Lovely than the movie itself.ย
Once the credits roll and Lovely sets up the speaker to play their shared playlist, they both sit facing each other, ready to exchange presents.ย
โCan I go first?โ Lovely asks, the gift they have for him sitting on their lap.ย
โOf course.โ Vincent nods and sets what he has for them to the side.ย
They smile, depositing the thing onto their boyfriendโs lap, โThereโs the actual gift and I wrote you a letter, so open that first. The gift isnโt extravagant or anything since you said I wasnโt allowed to spend a lot of money this year so-โ
Vincent snorts, picking up the envelope, โYeah, โcause you rented out a mansion for my birthday.โ
โYeah, well- you got me a car for mine and you donโt have a spending cap.โ Lovely sputters.ย
โAnd you got me a new Macbook unprompted not even two months ago? And new headphones?โ
โOkay, we get it.โ Lovely rolls their eyes pettily, โOpen the damn letter.โ
Vincent laughs lightly and complies, carefully tearing the seal of the envelope off, โYou and your impulsive spending habits.โ
He pulls out and unfolds theโ now that theyโre looking at itโ quite lengthy handwritten letter, immediately starting to read it. And it is at this exact moment that Lovely realizes the humiliation that comes from watching someone read what youโve written for them. And although it was intended for him, having Vincent read an intimate expression of their love for him for the first time in front of them is mortifying.ย
In complete honesty, there is nothing in the letter that he doesnโt already know, because the two are incredibly transparent in their feelings towards each other. But itโs an entirely different thing for Lovely to write out how they feel when they and Vincent have both resorted to using actions rather than words for the majority of their relationship.ย
Still, theyโve since come to accept the discomfort they would have to go through in order for Vincent to have a written representation of their feelings for him.ย
Lovelyโs not the best writer in the world, they loathe to put words on a page because theyโve long since accepted that theyโre no good at it. There are probably spelling and grammar mistakes, their sentences go on for far too long, and they definitely didnโt write anything good enough to even begin to describe the way their heart tries to crawl out of their chest whenever he smiles at them. Theyโve written and re-written the letter so many times they could probably recite it by heart at this point, which means theyโre acutely aware of the poor writing and every mistake. But he deserves the effort, even if itโs shit.ย
And thatโs why they willingly sat through the pain of finding the words and the cramps in their hand from holding their pen too tightly. And why they willingly sit through the disquiet of watching Vincentโs eyes move across the page theyโd all but bled into.ย
Lovely is pulled out of their thoughts at the choked cry they hear coming from their boyfriend. Allowing themself to come back into the present moment despite not realizing they had zoned out in the first place, they let out a bemused laugh.ย
โItโs not that bad, is it?โ They tease slightly, brushing their palm across Vincentโs knee.ย
He barely acknowledges them or the tears that hurry down his face. Sniffling, he ignores them in favour of finishing the letter. Lovely doesnโt take offence, continuing to run their hand up and down his thigh while they wait for him.ย
Once Vincent does finish reading, he doesnโt waste time and he pulls Lovely into a hug. Lovely allows themself to be pulled, settling in his lap and wrapping their arms around his neck as he cries near-silently into their neck.ย
โIt was beautiful, Lovely.โ He whispers against their skin, voice wet, โI love you so muchโฆโ
They laugh, rubbing his shoulder blade affectionately, โI love you too. Iโm glad you like it, I worked on it for a while.โ
He grumbles more barely audible and tear-soaked praises, holding them tighter. The two remain in that position for a moment until Lovely pushes Vincent back far enough to cup his cheeks.ย
โHey, crybaby.โ They whisper.ย
Vincent blinks the tears from his eyes, โHi.โ
โYouโre a hypocrite, hm?โ Lovely says as they wipe his tears, โDonโt cry, okay? I donโt like it when you cry.โ
Vincent is silent for a moment before he gives a small grin, โEven when Iโm happy?โ
Lovely presses a kiss to the tip of his nose, โEven when youโre happy.โ
Vincent leans back in to kiss them back on the lips, a soft peck.ย
They grin and lift themself off his lap, โOkay, open the actual present now.โ
He nods and picks up his gift, obviously, some kind of fabric that was wrapped in pink heart-patterned paper.
โWhatever could it be?โ He quips dryly, and Lovely scoffs. He unwraps it just as gently as he did the envelope and pulls out two matching coupleโs hoodies in red and white of high quality out of the wrapping paper, the red one having Lovelyโs initials on the sleeve and the white one having Vincentโs. He laughs, โAw, these are cute. The red oneโs mine, right?โ
Lovely nods with a smile, โOf course, itโsย yourย favourite colour. Itโs also in your size.โ
โGotta make sure, you know?โ Vincent leans over to kiss them again, โThank you, baby.โ
They kiss him back, smile widening, โYouโre welcome. I had to add to the ever-growing collection of matching outfits we have.โย
Vincent chuckles and thanks them once more with another kiss.ย
โOkay, your turn!โ He says after pulling back, turning to get Lovelyโs gift, โMine is also pretty simple but Iโm fairly certain youโll like it.โ
Lovely takes the small box from him, โIโll love whatever you got me, Vince, I always do. This setup was already enough.โ
Vincent takes their hand and kisses their knuckles, โYou deserve the best, which is why you have me.โ He ends with a goofy grin.
Lovely shakes their head at him and they begin to peel away the red wrapping paper from the little box, quickly revealing a Pandora necklace box and they immediately smile adoringly, โVinceโฆ have you been stalking my wishlist?โ
โDepends.โ Vincent shrugs, grinning again, โTriple Stone Heart Collier in silver?โ
They laugh, โYouโre so sweet. Itโs perfect, thank you so much. I love you.โ
โYouโre perfect. I love you too.โ
Lovely giggles and practically throws themself at him. They knock the wind out of him as he falls back onto the comforter, laughing with them. Vincent wraps his arms around their torso and kisses their temple once Lovely shifts slightly to rest their head on his chest.ย
โEvery Valentineโs Day with you is better than the last.โ They say softly, โIโm glad I get to spend forever with you.โ
Vincentโs breath hitches at the sudden confession but he recovers quickly, โIโm glad I get to spend forever with you too, Lovely. Iโm so incredibly lucky to have you in my life now and for every Valentineโs Day to come.โ
Lovely lifts their head off his chest to kiss him again, the two getting lost in the heaven that is the otherโs lips.ย
They break apart more than a minute later and Lovely goes back to laying their head on Vincentโs chest, both relishing in the comfortable silence as they hold each other under the stars.ย
After a moment, Vincent speaks again, kind of absentmindedly, as he observes the night sky above him, โHey, itโs Ursa Major.โ
Lovely merely hums in mild interest, โOh yeah?โ
โYeah. Did you know that itโs one of the biggest constellations in the sky? And also one of the most well-known, but thatโs mostly because of the big dipper, which is rightโฆ there.โ One of his hands unwraps from Lovely to point up to where the constellation supposedly is.ย
Lovely lazily tries to sit up from their position on top of him to see what he's pointing at. They are almost immediately stopped by Vincentโs other hand returning to their body, stopping them from moving, โHey, where are you going?โย
They could have broken out of his hold if they wanted to, but they donโt struggle. They huff, โTrying to see what youโre talking about, silly.โ
Vincent kisses their cheek, โIโll describe it to you, you just relax.โย
โFine.โ Lovely makes a noise thatโs akin to approval when he starts rubbing their back.
โAnyways, what was I saying?โ Vincent continues, โOh yeah. Thereโs so much more to Ursa Major. Like how, in Greek mythology, itโs associated with the story of Callisto and Zeus becauseโฆโ
As Vincent spins himself into a tangent about the stars and the stories associated with them, Lovely canโt find it in themself to pay too much attention to the actual words heโs saying. They can only really focus on the rumble of his chest as he speaks and his touch. Which is fine, Vincent was the one to say that he enjoys talking them to sleep. That is, after teasing them for finding his voice relaxing. But thatโs fine too, because itโs him.ย ย ย ย
Vampires donโt need to sleep, not really, but Lovely figures that Vincent has once again changed how their body is meant to function because they canโt quite help the way their eyes droop in abrupt exhaustion. Maybe it has something to do with the claim that being with someone you love makes it easier to fall asleep. Lovely was never one to believe things like that before Vincent, but maybe there was some truth to it when just leaning against him always had them yawning.ย
Or maybe itโs as simple as this; as long as there is blood in their veins, no matter whose, he will always be loved by them. He is theirs until the end of time.
โโโโโโโโ
vincent and lovely are like kuroken to me- *gets shot*
having conflicting headcanons is so hard because yes, i think vincent lets lovely win rock paper scissors every time. but also yes, i think theyโre literally the same person so they pick the same options each time and it goes on forever. what's a girl to do ykw?
fun fact, there are a lot of my headcanons in this but without the explanations on why i have them just because i didnโt know how to incorporate them seamlessly. for example and most importantly, vincent and lovely both hate strawberries, so they have chocolate-covered pretzels instead! it's their favourite shared snack
also, i have the outline of how i planned this fic on this google doc if anyone is interested. i stole this idea straight from another fic i read ๐ but it really did help me with how to plan my stories afterwards, it's also kind of interesting to look at so, there's that
#i had so much fun with this omg#see what i did with the connection between lovely and vincent both crying#not at the actual gift their partner gave them#but rather the secondary thing?#yeah i'm clever /hj#redacted asmr fanfic#redacted vincent#redacted lovely#redacted fluff#redacted audio#redacted asmr#redactedverse#redacted valenweek#valenweek

idk petty complaining about a fic under the cut
reading a modern au zosan fic that adapted nami into the au as a gps. a fucken gps. idk maybe im overreacting whatever but tell me you don't respect female characters without telling me you don't respect female characters lol??? esp when canon side characters (koby, blueno, kaku) get adapted into the modern au as people and nami is fucken. software. crazyyyy to me
#like the writing is fine the worldbuilding is there in the fic. imo this is just a lazy and weird choice#but well. i guess i shouldn't be surprised to see slash authors sidelining female characters lol#does put a bitter taste in my mouth though won't lie#salt#<- my negative thoughts tag btw#all the comments are like โomg that's so clever and funnyโ -_-#disrespecting my girl for real.

Simon Petrikov, Healing, Self-love, and a smidge more of Greek mythology if you really squint
โUlyssesโ poem excerpt by Alfred Tennyson // Fionna and Cake Episode 10 โCheersโ // โExitludeโ by The Killers // โCheersโ // โTalk To Meโ by cavetown // โa poem traveled down my armโ by Alice Walker // โCheersโ // โUlyssesโ book by James Joyce
#UGH i love the Ulysses poem specifically#itโs only an excerpt but all of it is totally Simon#itโs about growing old but still feeling that passion for adventure that you did when you strove with gods#and that you arenโt what you were before but that which you are you are. mwah mwah. i love it sm#adventure time#fionna and cake#fionna and cake spoilers#adventure time spoilers#simon petrikov#web weave#anyway ulysses is actually the roman equivalent of Odysseus#a hero renowned for his intelligence and cleverness. but also his love.#his dedicated myth (the odyssey. duh) is all about him on his way home to see his wife after the Trojan war#he also built his own palace. by himself iirc#and was the king of ithaca#what iโm saying is simon has most similar qualities with Odysseus/Ulysses than he does with any other Greek myth figure#(oh wow maeo ur so cool) thank u brackets person omg#txt

based off that Kyle drawing @/as-thra made

Acanthe when she saw Cassandra:
And extra:

#Ofc Lamore knew BEFORE Acanthe did#Cupids just know that stufd#I imagine Lamore says that in the: โOMG#SHES BALD AND SHES TORTUIRNG POL WHO HAVE HAIR!โ voice#Acantheโs didnโt know abt queer ppl before she came to Hogwarts (Lucinda and Lamore gave her a whole lecture on it)#Smt abt mean girls is just soโฆawakening#Awakening like:#harry potter magic awakened#/#hp magic awakened#hpma#THAY was so clever from me#anyways I hc her being all panicky over it bc she doesnโt what to do.#Her search history would be like: how to live gay (๐ญ)#Sheโs so silly#also Iโm still deciding on if sheโs bi or lesbian#so uh yeah#And Iโm fighting the urges to make her ace (I already hc Daniel and Ivy as ace#this is a problem)#Anyway itโs abt time I draw Acantha again#Girlie got neglected after her family portrait#When Iโm finaihed with the Cassandra angst Iโll draw some Cathy angst#Acantha Dondrew#I keep forgetting if itโs Acanthe or Acantha#creaโs art#oc#hpma oc#silly#hpma mc#shes so silly.

So there is this episode of The Bright Sessions that references Hello from the Hallowoods. A person dr. Bright is speaking to is trying to scare her so it mimics the narratorโs voice from HFTH. There is also this bit where the listeners are referred to as dreamers by said person as if they are trying to convince us that The Bright Sessions is a part of another dream, like another chamber for people who cannot handle nightmares, maybe?
#i dreamt this and now i am very disappointed to find it doesnโt actually exist#i swear it was so much better than i explained it here#it gave me chills#and i was HYPED#i was like OMG THIS IS SO CLEVER#WHAT#someone make it pls#anyway#i hope there is 1 person who listens to both who will understand me#probably not#oh well#maybe if i go back to sleepโฆ.#the bright sessions#the bright sessions podcast#hfth#hello from the hallowoods#podcast#dreams#dream#dream journal#hfthw#tbs
