#three brothers anon

[tokillamockingbird427]

Hello motherfucker (joking, I know your no Oedipus fan) any ways I'm back and I want to bother you with how close in age the boys are.

So there is David and Callum

Then Miles is ten (10) months younger then the twins

Then Logan is six ( 6) months younger then Miles. Now this is because I headcanon Logan is a premi baby, about 2-3 months early and extremely lucky. He's also a stubborn little shite, I can tell you that.

And then Samuel is eleven months younger then Logan. Mamma needed a bit of a break after the catastrophe that was logans birth but Sammy (Also a little shite) was very impatient and came out four (4) weeks early.

I also want to bother with the fact that I headcanon mama to look like Bernadette from The Big Bange Theory

So yea

Have fun with this

-Three Brothers anon

HAH!

Who's older between the twins? I just know the one older by like three minutes be holding onto them minutes for dear fucking life sometimes. "I'm older so you have to listen to me!" "No you're not!" "Just ask mom dip-head! I came out first!" "By 180 seconds!!! Even Sammy can count that high!"

I agree Mrs. Walker would have curls and be blonde but our ideas diverge there because Bernie is tiny and I think Mrs. Walker would be chubbier. (Even before she had kids. Elias likes them thicc apparently. *Looks at "Mr. Brick Shit House" aka Rorke*)

I just recently finished the actors series and I was reading up on the mating bonds and I came across your post about Lucien and Elain’s mating bond from a few years ago and how it potentially could be wrong from the cauldron and I find it super interesting and have seen multiple theories on it! I do think that Azriel might be right and the cauldron made a mistake but that leads me to think about Nesta/Cassian so I was hoping you could help me understand their mating bond! Could this not be considered the same for them? Is their bond not considered made by the Cauldron when Nesta was thrown in as well or how does their bond differ from Elain/Luciens? I could be overlooking but the info on the bonds is also hard for me to wrap my head around 😂

Hi and thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my nonsense!

I assume you are talking about this post from May 2021 - "What if the Cauldron was wrong?" - in which, to briefly sum up, I suggested that Elain and Azriel were actually meant to be mates, and that Lucien was chosen by the Cauldron as Elain's mate because Azriel was currently "dead" to its senses thanks to taking a poisoned ash arrow in his chest, and Lucien's true mate, Jesminda, had already died.

I know you sent this last week, I'm sorry about the wait - which, sadly, is not nearly the worst wait time for the asks I've been procrastinating on over the last couple of years lol, sorry to anyone who sent something I've flaked on - but funnily enough, there has been some renewed discourse this week.

In addition to this ask, I'd recommend checking out the following (bearing in mind that some may contain spoilers for the entire Maasverse):

The OP and my recent reblog of this post.

This similar ask I recently answered.

This thread and this thread by @silverlinedeyes.

This thread by @elriell.

This post by @icedflames.

This thread by @psychologynerd.

This thread by @wingedblooms.

This thread by @violetasteracademic.

These two posts, here (ACOTAR only) and here (with evidence from the Maasverse suggesting something might've happened to the Cauldron).

It's difficult to explain the entire (hypothesised) lore behind SJM's mating bonds without delving into the worlds of TOG and CC, so I'll attempt a very basic discussion about the Archeron sisters and bat boys (please note that all of these theories are due to a shared effort within the Elriel fandom, not limited to the accounts I tagged above); the following will be based on the theory that there are two types of bonds in Prythian: the original, mutual soul bonds, and offspring bonds for breeding purposes that may be a Cauldron-Made imitation of the original bonds.

In short, I believe Nesta and Cassian's bonus chapter from ACOMAF, and his behaviour towards her while everything was going wrong at Hybern, strongly suggested they already shared a mating bond that would have obviously predated Nesta being Made by the Cauldron at the end of the book; this would have been similar to Feyre and Rhys, who we know shared a bond that predated Feyre being Made by the High Lords. And not to make this Elriel, but for the sake of being complete, the first "family" dinner shared by all six brothers and sisters in the human lands appeared to show Azriel acting differently (in his own unique way) around Elain, just as Cassian was so obviously drawn to Nesta.

Lucien, on the other hand, didn't act in such a way that demonstrated, without any doubt, that he felt anything for Elain in particular before she went into the Cauldron at Hybern (which I discussed in my first mating bond meta that I linked above). Azriel, though? It's definitely murky, but imo his responses at Hybern, while downed with a poisoned arrow, could plausibly suggest he felt something for Elain, assuming SJM wants to go the "true bond" way. As Nesta, who could see through glamours as a human, said to Lucien right after he'd claimed Elain: "She is no such thing!"

Remember this passage between Feyre and Rhys, in the original trilogy?

“A mating bond can be rejected,” Rhys said mildly, eyes flickering in the mirror as he drank in every inch of bare skin I had on display. “There is choice. And sometimes, yes—the bond picks poorly. Sometimes, the bond is nothing more than some … preordained guesswork at who will provide the strongest offspring. At its basest level, it’s perhaps only that. Some natural function, not an indication of true, paired souls.” A smile at me—at the rareness, perhaps, of what we had. - ACOWAR, chapter 24

Rhys said that sometimes, the bond is nothing more than "preordained guesswork," which suggests that sometimes it is more than that. I (and many others, but definitely not everyone in the fandom) think that Feysand and Nessian have the "rarer" type of bond, between "true, paired souls," while Elucien does not. I guess there's always the possibility that Feysand and Nessian also share offspring bonds, but given what happened in ACOSF that would appear to be... unwise on the Cauldron's behalf. But who knows.

Anyway anon, I hope this response helps to clear the theory up for you. If you have read the rest of the Maasverse then the posts I linked above are a really good grounding in the theories behind why mating bonds may not all be created equal.

I was reading the post about Luigi and Peach's relationship and it brought me back to a moment near the end of the movie where Peach comments how brave Luigi was, which is something he really needed to hear in a similar way she called Mario's trait of never knowing when to quit a great thing

Oooooh! I like the correlation! With Mario, his unwillingness to quit was a trait he obviously had that he needed someone to tell him was a good thing, while Luigi needed someone to expressly point out his bravery– a trait he didn't even realize he had until that point. But Luigi's also clearly aware of their difference in social status. He looks nervous for a split second when Princess Peach first addresses him before he picks up on her tone and lightens up.

"And Luigi!... you're so brave."

Luigi reacts to this shyly at first, fidgeting with his hat and chuckling anxiously as he thanks her.

But after he gives Mario a small side-glance, and sees him nodding in agreement, Luigi loosens up enough to be a little cocky while Peach beams at him like a proud mom.

... And the fact that Peach and Luigi did not have any further on-screen interactions is slowly killing me inside.

I can't help but wonder if the Gdorf that was transported to a new land. I think Golden Mercy?

I wonder if he realizes that the entire reason that OoT Link even came after him was because he essentially killed the closest thing the boy had to a dad? And then he went on to kill OoT Zelda's dad, too. So, now he has 2 children after him.

Like, does he even recognize how much his actions upturned the lives of those 2 children?

Not only that, but he went to his neighboring kingdom, put on this show, & attacked the King's allies to steal 3 sacred relics, even killing one of them in the process! He threatened them, invaded a holy site, & stole what amounted to the holy grail.

Isn't that tantamount to destruction of cultural property? You know, a war crime??

Like, how does that man rationalize all this?

He really doesn’t, because he’s a selfish piece of garbage. That’s what happens with selfish people, they do not care about the impact they make on others, only what benefits them. To Ganondorf, it’s all just things that need to be done because he will get what he wants, and he does not care who burns to accomplish that. He’s king, it’s his right to take what he wants. That’s how he grew up.

Ganondorf hasn’t learned his lesson. The main reason he doesn’t cause a bunch of problems any earlier than he did was simply because he was kind of satisfied with what he had for a little while, until he learned that the Triforce existed in this Hyrule. Having children has helped him a little, making him gentler at times, trying to make him more rational and reasonable, but at the end of the day he never addressed the issues that led to his actions in his own original Hyrule, and therefore he hasn’t learned from it. As decent as he becomes in his new home, when the temptation strikes he doesn’t fight it, and giving in to that urge makes him completely reprehensible as time goes along. He starts a war, he eventually kills his wife when she turns on him, and he tries to kill his daughter when she teams up with Link. And by heaven did he completely upturn their lives, the Gerudo people, and all of Hyrule.

But worry not, my dear lovely, a few thousand years in agonizing captivity will make him far more contemplative. :)

I mean, I love writing the guy, but that doesn’t make him a good person. The reason I use the good Ganondorf tag is not because of his actions prior to Hyrule Warriors, it’s because Golden Mercy gives him a chance at redemption.

I always found it slightly awkward how media makes siblings or people who see each other as siblings call each other brother/sister all the time as in real life you almost never see people do that with their own siblings (maybe someone out there like that)

In the case of Arkham Shadows I see why they did though because Bruce quite literally tells Harvey he loves him and Harvey says it back. Can't have the audience think Batman is in love with the DA.

They had Bruce pay for his college, pay for his campaign, pay for his surgery, pay for his therapy and had Harvey have him as his best man at his wedding. Wow..... Sugar baby Harvey is real.....

The calling sibling title thing is less common in English than in some other languages for sure- me and a couple of my siblings do it on occasion, but it's for a bit then. More common is when I call one of my close family friends "my sister" or "my nephew" when talking about them to someone else because it's faster and easier to say that than to say "my friend who I've known since she was born and lived with for a few years and consider a little sister" or "child of a close family friend who considers me an aunt" to someone who doesn't know them. Which is a lot of words to say that if they wanted to fully sell me on the brothers thing they should have either had a different bit or should have referred to the other as "my brother" when talking to an unrelated character instead.

But "oh no we have to make Bruce not look gay" has been a problem DC has struggled with more than once for many decades and it basically never works so I guess at least they didn't try to solve it this time by having Bruce pick a lady love over Harvey or cutting the holding hands thing

Because I saw that scrapbook! I know Harvey has been Bruce's sugar baby since he was ten years old! But we can't have Bruce take Harvey's hand and call him the love of his life because ok technically that's Gotham but also because gay. And we can't have Bruce take Harvey's hand and call him his best friend because they're not ten anymore and somehow that seems gay also. So brothers it is, I guess. Even if I think my brothers would bite my finger if I ever tried to pay for everything for them on that scale, guess it's different at billionaire levels

[skyward-floored]

the iau hyrule with four blurb was so sweet... hyrule may be new at being a big brother but hes doing his very best

Aww thanks anon :]

Writing Hyrule as a big brother was really fun! He really has no clue what he's doing, but he's absolutely doing his best <3 I'm hoping to write more with him being a big brother at some point. Though actually, I think the next fic I have focusing on Roolie in the works is Wild big-brothering him XD

[journey-to-the-attic]

3.4Hz Harmony could be a great album name I feel. For band names, I was going to suggest Unknowables? Like the secret nature of the existence of other realms. Mostly because it just sounds like a cool band name though.

that's a good one actually!! now i'm thinking of song titles and everything... i can't decide whether they'd be pop-rock or psychedelic rock... maybe both

i like "unknowables"! it reminds me of a suggestion from @/reblogs-are-the-love, "the unbeatable" - the unverbables just works as a band name i think...

i was reminded of the band names ik suggests in ch47 (gaggle of geese, army of frogs).. i feel like "unknowables" and "the unbeatable" would be mephistopheles and thirteen's suggestions respectively, but then ik wanted to have more fun with it, so it's like "the unknowable geese", or "the unbeatable frogs"

(raphael would be fully willing to vote on her side to give her this victory)

[stormbreaker-290]

wdym brother nature?

Hdgshs since ppl sometimes call periods "mother nature" I came up with Brother Nature when one of my masc friends was dealin with it :3

And now I just call it that cuz yes XD

[tortoisebore]

just finished reading chapter 9 (already started rereading) and oh man i love this fic so much—it fills a void in my life that I so desperately need. thank you thank you thank you for sharing you are so amazing!! This is by far one of the absolute best wolfstar fics: your writing? impeccable. their characterization? to die for. I love them so so much. I do have to say though, I physically NEED to know how the conversation between Remus and regulus went, like actually dying from curiosity. 🫣

i’m so glad u enjoyed it!! 💖💖💖 thank you so much, this is so kind 💕✨💕✨💕✨

hddhdhdhd i might have to write a little snippet of that here sometime bc imagine how strange and random and awkward that convo was for remus i’m crying

i tried not to make regulus too likable & wanted to give him strong annoying little brother energy, so like he’s very prim & proper but he also would rather die than pass up a chance to embarrass sirius

in my mind regulus kind of cornered remus while he was getting a drink from the kitchen or something, and remus is so nice and sweet and he’d be excited regulus even wants to engage with him at all, so he’s just smiling all cute and going 👋🙂 oh hi regulus

and regulus would just stand across the counter and go🧍‍♂️yes hi my brother was mean to u bc he had a crush on u

and remus would be like 😀 oh! haha…what do you mean—

and then regulus would go🧍‍♂️so football huh?

and remus is just lost & smiling & nodding while regulus talks in extremely fast monotone about the time sirius threw up in an old woman’s purse after getting off a roller coaster or something

like it’s STRONG annoying little brother energy & remus is fighting for his life trying to keep up

[tokillamockingbird427]

In regards to the twins, David is exactly 13 minutes older than Callum

David was born at 6:00 pm

Callum at 6:13 pm

This does, in fact, get held over Callum's head

-three brothers anon

13 is an unlucky number, you could use that in writing perhaps. (Oh but fun fact: It's a good/lucky number in China.)

See I fuckin' knew it, older siblings are such shitheads.

[mushramoo]

as someone who doesnt know shit or fuck about mp100 watching you go feral over that drenched towel of a man is wonderful and i am very proud. keep it up brother

I have never been so rabid about a guy in my life (except fnaf but that’s different) IM NOT EVEN AN ANIME PERSON. I WATCHED DEMON SLAYER AND MOB PSYCHO AND??? UR RIGHT HE IS A SOGGY TOWEL AND NOW ALL OF YOU HAVE TO SEE ME BE UNHEALTHY ABT THAT SWEATY MAN. (But thank you I’m getting more comfy using my blog as an actual blog, less formal)

[offtorivendell]

Do you think Nesta/Cassian have a true mate bond or a corrupt cauldron bond? I see a lot of people say they think Eris is her true mate and some people say the complete opposite 😅

Hi anon!

Disclaimer: more word vomit I'm sorry.

TW: discussion includes birthing winged babies and all that entails. If this is a sore topic for you, then I recommend giving this a pass. 💜

Spoilers: I'll be discussing the entire Maasverse, please beware.

I think both Nessian and Feysand have true or soul bonds, which I suspect may be a type of carranam bond, rather than corrupted Cauldron bonds.

Whether or not true/soul bonds are equivalent to carranam bonds - though as I have said before, it appears the sisters may have powers "to match" the brothers (per ACOSF) - it would make ZERO sense for Feyre and Nesta to be mated to Rhys and Cassian respectively for the sole purpose of creating more powerful offspring, given the risk to mother and child when a winged bub is born to a woman with the (I'm sorry) incorrectly shaped uterus/birth canal. And wasn't there a 50/50 chance of a winged baby, with a full Illyrian procreating with a high fae female? Those aren't great odds for the Asteri. But both couples do share bonds consisting of multiple golden threads, ergo: I suspect they share the true or soul bonds about which @silverlinedeyes and @icedflames originally theorised years ago now.

Personally - and imo this was supported by HOFAS, with what we learnt of Hunt's ancestry and design - I lean towards Feysand, Nessian and Elriel all being foretold as a way to free their land from the magical chains left by the Asteri/Daglan of the past. I think that what is most important is the pairing's ability to support each other, and make each other more powerful, rather than to create stronger children from which the Daglan can feed, hence why they complement each other's magic so well and, if I'm right about them being carranam, they can act as conduits for each other as well, further amplifying their strengths.

To complete the poetic balance of 3x3 being fated, I think Elriel were also meant to have a true/soul bond until Koschei (or Someone) loaned his (or Their) otherworldly magic to the King of Hybern*, allowing him to control the Cauldron. This hypothetical, new ability to Make powerful spells, combined with Azriel being downed by Jurian's poisoned ash arrow to the chest, may have created an opening for the corrupted Cauldron to cast a thread between Elain and the next best male, Lucien.

* My thoughts are that Koschei is either a prince of Hel and/or a Valg-type creature (how that plays in with the Daglan I'm unsure), and the King of Hybern was possessed in a way similar to what we experienced in TOG. But if the King of Hybern was a Valg prince, or had the borrowed powers of a Valg king (or queen), then it is not out of the realm of possibility that he could have tweaked the threads of fate to generate a false bond between Elain and Lucien in order to keep Elain and Azriel apart, as Maeve did between Rowan and Lyra to separate him from his true mate, Aelin. There are great theories that delve into the parallels between Elriel and Rowaelin, I recommend checking out @riddlecrux (I'm 99% sure).

It's always fun to theorise, so as always, no hate to anyone who thinks differently than me - shipping with your heart is absolutely valid, even if your fav pairing doesn't end up being canon - but I really do not think that SJM is splitting her loved up pairs with accepted mating bonds. This goes for Feysand, Nessian and Bryceriel Quinlar (hooray fatigue), all of whom have made strong declarations of love for each other. That would cheapen SJM's romances so much.

Besides that, while I understand focusing on ships - because this is romantasy after all, and the couples are integral to the overall plot - I don't see how Nesta and Eris would work into the poetry of a prophecy that we already know:

Life and death and rebirth

Sun and moon and dark

Rot and bloom and bones

Hello, sweet thing. Hello, lady of night, princess of decay. Hello, fanged beast and trembling fawn. Love me, touch me, sing me.

Madness. Where the first half had been cold cunning, this box … this was chaos, and disorder, and lawlessness, joy and despair. [...] Rhys picked up the Book of Breathings.

Light and dark and gray and light and dark and gray— - ACOMAF, chapter 57

The Book of Breathings gave us this beauty back in ACOMAF, and while there are many attempts to make sense of it (and I think many could be right), if we're talking about romantic pairings, I don't see how it could encompass any ships other than those of the brothers and sisters present. Where would the balance be in that? While there are certainly plots that people have theorised for pairings other than these three (and of course, I acknowledge that Elriel isn't canon endgame at this point in time), I haven't read any that would tie into the themes of three we have seen established by SJM: sisters, brothers, mountains, stars etc.

Eris is an intriguing character and Neris a fun ship (I don't hate it at all), but in canon it wouldn't flow, at least to me. Though of course I could be wrong.

Anyway, sorry for the mess of this response. I hope my thoughts make at least some sense lol.

Edit: I was about to post and then @wingedblooms and her beautiful mind struck again. Anon - and anyone else - please read her reblog of my post about the Asteri corrupting mating bonds, it's beautifully written and I have similar thoughts (as usual).

[midnight-in-town]

hi there, what is it with the midfords' deny-the- reality approach? it's the death anniversary of 30 people? let's complain about trained soldiers being bad at housekeeping. the teen watchdog who has to deal with the earldom, factories, mafia, queen and dangerous cases is here? let's be an annoying partner, mollycoddle him, comb his hair, give him a hard time for being forced to betroth at such a young age. why do they deceive themselves that ciel is a normal boy and treat him like one?

Anon @ Kuroshitsuji :

Look, I mean it in the kindest way possible Anon: how about you calm down a little in order to try and decipher the bigger picture?

Because I'm definitely happy to talk about the series, but I will refuse to discuss with anyone who completely misunderstood ch14 and unfairly complains about Lizzie and Frances as a result.

So chill and buy yourself some reading glasses, or idk, ask with genuine curiosity ?, instead of denying canon and complaining about two great characters who actually only have our!Ciel's well-being in mind. And, while you take my advice, here are some posts:

Summary of ch14 for dumb kuro readers

our!Ciel is literally Frances 2.0, tragedy-wise, except he's not good at fencing

stop harping about Frances, folks, or so God helps me

Have a good day.
