really curious to know what makes some men actually want to be fathers
#like it’s so strange to me that guys in their 20s will tell me they want a wife and a family#when they can barely respond to a text message more than once a day#like what is it abt being a father that excites u? do u actually want to raise little humans? or is it just a societal thing u have#romanticized and think u shld do?#ITS SO WEIRD#like I’m 21 I DO NOT think abt marriage or having kids#bc having kids means giving up both my bodily and societal autonomy#and being married potentially means my financial autonomy as well#why wld i choose that?#to give u (men) this future - I am giving up more than u ever will#so that is no longer a fantasy I have or want (not saying I never will but I am not delusional abt it either)#so it really fascinates me when early 20 year olds I meet say they want children and have thought abt it#and abt how many they want#and then they’re shocked when I say I don’t think abt kids or marriage#LIKE SIR?? I CAN BARELY FEED MYSELF???#also u are NOT emotionally intelligent enough to have a child anytime soon#(me to these guys lol. ok maybe one has like 4 years and he wld be emotionally ready ngl)#but the rest? whew. thank god I dodged that bullet 🙏🏼#tala.txt#been thinking a lot abt this lately…..

A message from a beloved soul 🕊️
Recently, I felt called to ask for advice from passed on artists that have greatly impacted my life. A few months ago, my role model and most beloved artist passed away suddenly. I never thought this day would come. Or rather I didn’t want to think about it. And lately I feel his energy very strongly. I thought that maybe some of you could need some advice from an artist you miss dearly as well. I’m sorry if this triggers anybody. I thank these beautiful souls that have provided us with light and love for all these years for their messages and I hope that wherever they are in the Universe, their soul is at peace. ❤️
Group 1
Letters : B Y I T J S L G K M U A P G D F Words : guys, tails, mask, Sag, just, Jiluka, Atsuki, July, Aug, days, pay, gay, Yumi, Yuki, Bad guy, kid, must play, guita(r), fly, BSK, family, silk, ask my pals if I still must (???), stalk, dumb, Mt Fuji
Tissue box messages : Singer, blue eyes, Scorpio I TRANSFORM Nov 23 to Nov 29, Capricorn I CREATE Jan 20 to Feb 16, 6th house daily life I LOVE, 12th house Spiritual life I DREAM
Their channeled message to you :
Baby the world is yours to take. Fate is yours to create. No matter the pain, no matter the fears, no matter the obstacles, you must live on. Do you hear me? Live. Scream at the top of your lungs. You can cry too. But don’t give up. I am with you every step of the way. My wings will carry you for as long as I can.
Clarifications - 10 of swords, Black Numen, King of cups, King of wands, 10 of pentacles, 10 of cups
This artist that you are asking about knows that you are going through a hard time and that a part of you doesn’t believe in your ability to make it through but they want to reassure you because not only do you have what it takes but the outcome is going to be much more brighter than you could ever imagine. You’re getting there. You’re so close to reaching your goal. I believe that there are actually two artists that are surrounding you with their love. They are both encouraging you to keep moving, though you may not understand where this will lead you, though you may not see the bigger picture. Because after this period of grieving and emotional turmoil, of hardships and uncertainty, awaits a bright and warm future, full of joy and abundance. While one helps you heal your wounds and deal with possible depression/mental health issues, the other is helping you manifest success in all areas of your life by fueling your fire and inspiring you. You may feel like your creativity is boosted and your mind is fuming with new ideas. Both of them are masculine in their energy. One of them may especially connect with you through your dreams while the other would rather put on your way resources and people that are beneficial to your growth. The channeled message you received was from the one you were asking about. But the other artist still wanted to silently show their support. I believe that in their living time this person wasn’t very talkative but would instead show their love through actions. They remained the same in the after life.

Group 2
Letters : A V U S E I F S V N A U I M K P Words : miss u, veins, pain, pause, Suki, fave, fame, pave, Mana, Aki, naive, invasive, Nivea, niveau (French for level), suave, Kaname, kiss me, five men, fans, vie (life/live), Pisa
Tissue box messages : Gym rat, creative soul, dorky/quirky, Scorpio I TRANSFORM Nov 23 to Nov 29, Ophiuchus I HEAL Nov 29 to Dec 17, 1st house awareness of self I AM
Their message to you :
My Jade ~ You are so beautiful. Your soul is so beautiful it shines all the way to heaven. God and the angels are so pleased with you. Seeing you grow so much has been my biggest joy and pride. I believe that you can light up this world and save so many people from themselves. But first make sure to save yourself, okay?! Love you ❤️
Clarifications - 9 of pentacles, The Lovers, Knight of cups, Judgment, King of cups, 6 of cups
You must prioritize yourself by choosing to give yourself the love you so willingly give to others. That much is clear. When the time is right and balance is restored, a soulmate will be sent to you to pour more love into your cup. They will come to you slowly but surely. You will recognize them by their piercing gaze and their powerful voice. You know them already. Wow that was very specific. There are a lot of water related cards, three of which can be associated with Scorpio. Then there is also Gemini energy and Taurus energy. I believe that in their living time the artist you asked about was a very generous and wise person. They were probably an old soul and had a hard time finding people they could deeply connect with. I get the feeling that you followed this person since you were a child and you looked up to them. They are a soulmate of yours. Their energy feels very balanced. I believe this person was very spiritual and always did their best to do the right choice and be the bigger person. They would always think of their loved ones before anything else and maybe that is one thing that caused this person a lot of sadness. Which is why they urge you to prioritize yourself. They know too well the cost of overgiving to others only to be left with so little.

Tissue box messages : Gym rat, bookworm, unconventional, Leo I SHINE Aug 10 to Sept 16, Taurus I PROTECT May 13 to June 21, Sagittarius I KNOW Dec 17 to Jan 20
Their message :
Dear friend,
I am so glad the universe has sent me to you. I am so proud of you for fighting for your dreams and doing your best every day to be a better person. You have no idea how much this means to me that you are working so hard to walk in my footsteps. My soul is filled with warmth because of you. Thank you so much.❤️ I love you too!
Clarifications - 6 of cups, 6 of swords, King of pentacles, 8 of pentacles, Queen of pentacles, High priestess
This artist is a soulmate of yours. They had to leave for you to thrive. It was part of their journey to pass on to the other side for you to grow and for them to guide you. It was necessary because their departure triggered an awakening in you. Your gifts wouldn’t have woken up the way they are now otherwise. It was their duty to contribute to your accession to your throne. By that I mean that in order to claim your power and rise up to their level, they had to eclipse themselves and now evolve in the « dark » or in other words on the other side of the curtain. You and this artist mirror each other, especially when it comes to your careers. I would even go as far as to say that for some of you they are a divine counterpart. You are the High priestess. And I saw behind her the Magician. They were the spark and you are the torch that will pass on the knowledge. They’ve taught you everything they had to while they were living. Now is your turn to do the same. You can connect with this person through hard work but also by working on your gifts, especially your intuition. When they were living, they were very intuitive too. They were known as a hard worker and a force to be reckoned with. They inspired people to leave behind what didn’t serve them. And they are now trying to help you do the same thing they did : be a mentor and a guide for others, especially younger souls.

Imma gonna keep this simple:
I 110% agree with everything u said.
U didn’t miss even ONE box because I’ve been saying this all day and all I can say is that I am so deeply disappointed that this is our reality.
I had hoped that we learned from 2016.
We didn’t.
I had hoped we were done with this in 2020.
We weren’t.
And now it seems like we’ll never be free of this until, hopefully, the new generations are old enough to make up the majority.
All I do know is this.
This path that this country is walking.
This path that its chosen will never lead to anywhere good.
And if ANYONE needs an example of how bad it can get, all they need to do is look at the history of this country and others like it to see what the future holds in store when u repeat it.
Thank you for saying what you said.
It meant something to me to know that me and other Americans are not alone in this. 💖
seeing this gives me some hope, but the fact that trump is absolutely going to target the department of education concerns me cuz despite the votes, there ARE many gen z-ers who spout a lot of right-wing ideologies without realizing it.
gen z can be quite radicalized depending on the topic, even the well-meaning ones don't realize how far right they've gotten.
we are a very puritanical generation who values moral superiority and internet activism, and we're also not as educated and immune to propaganda and brainwashing as we like to think
we've got young men and boys regardless of race watching and listening to right-wing streamers and content creators like andrew tate, adin ross, etc. and being radicalized into becoming the most misogynistic pieces of shit ever
we've got girls and gays trying to be internet activist and thinking that they're sooo progressive when they're actually doing a 180 to right-wing puritanism without realizing it:
"dark media should be removed from libraries because girls might read it and endorse it because girls are STUPID",
"sex scenes give me the ick so we need to remove them all!!!",
"gay love stories should only go as far as hand-holding, none of that gross stuff because we're not DIRTY like those degenerates!"
"we need to remove all porn and degenerate stuff because it encourages girls to act like whores and men to treat women poorly!" (newsflash, misogyny existed long before porn did, so removing porn won't do shit, sorry guys)
^ it all sounds stupid and silly, but this sorta shit snowballs. they're yearning for the hayes code and they don't even know what the hayes code is 💀
(and again with the jill stein stuff too 💀 like i said, gen z likes to be morally superior and internet activists so some of them did vote jill stein thinking it'd help -- which only brings back to my point to how dumb and uneducated us americans truly are. i'm sure they were well-meaning, but this was not a smart move)
right now, gen z is mostly blue (we're in the 50s% which is lowkey concerning), but with these mindsets ALREADY in place and more men like andrew tate spouting up, AND trump ready to target education to dumb people down, i worry that the younger gen are going to be more vulnerable than ever

I was looking through tkk blogs to see what they were saying about Jimin’s death threats and their role in it—unsurprisingly nothing, and I saw you in the replies and just wanted to say, they don’t have receipts because they don’t exist. Their entire ship is built on slow-mo edits and conspiracy theories.
I do wish some jkkrs would realize they’re starting to think and move like the cult. That blog seemed more rational and reasonable than I’ve seen a tkkr be before, and harassing them isn’t doing anyone any favors. No jkkr is ever going to convince a tkkr of anything in the same way that a tkkr can’t convert a jkkr. That blog at least thinks jk and jm are friends… and wow the bar is on the floor isn’t it? I am surprised that blog is so popular though because they don’t seem to say much of anything. They agree when tkkrs send them asks and then give vague non answers with no receipts for any other ask, but I guess they’re used to that sort of thing. The one time I saw them trying to show receipts it was from an account named KookV FANTASY FICTION 😂
I did not harrass them. I do not harass people. I just made a statement. Like u said, this person seemed pretty level headed so yeah, I replied. You don't come across a sane tkkr everyday so that's why I was confused by their post. Because all I have to do is swap Taekook for Jikook and I can find all the moments they described.... with receipts! 😅
There is something you said thou that stands out to me.
No jkkr is ever going to convince a tkkr of anything in the same way that a tkkr can't convert a jkkr.
Anon, I disagree. If a tkkr showed me legit questionable moments I would listen. If we didn't have HD photos of the Taennie Paris drama I would listen. But as it stands everything they say makes tkk real can be found with V and the wooga squad, can be found with V and other members, with JK and other members. There is not one single "sus" tkk thing that applies to only them.
So yeah, a tkkr would never make me stop believing in Jikook... but Jikook would make me stop believing in Jikook. What happened with V is NEVER going to happen with Jikook. There is not leaked photos or videos (legit ones) that exist of Jimin and JK with other men or women. I personally don't think they have ever broken up so I believe this to be fact. From 2013 when we met them till now November 2023, there is nothing of substance out there that suggests Jimin or JK are or have ever been with other people.
Idk about the future but now, in this moment, I can confidently say this.
But,
If in future they broke up and stopped... well Jikooking, I guarantee you Jikookers would stop "shipping" them. Me included. We don't support Jikook to be stubborn. We believe in them because they remind us of our own rlships or rlships of people we know about.
I discovered BTS and then gravitated towards the two members who screamed "we suck each other's dicks!" to me. This is the story of 90% of Jokers. If it was RM and Jin who acted the way Jikook do, this would be a Namjin blog. If it was Jhope and V doing and saying the things Jikook do, this would be a Vhope blog. Because I am an Army and I watched alot of content with all 7 and Jikook just happened to be the sus ones.
Heck, if Tkk were any bit suspicious to me, i would be a tkkr too!
But alas! That's not the case.
Anon I disagree because majority of Jikookers have reason. We are smart, we did the math. When we get debunked we accept. When we get corrected by the Koreans, we accept. We admit when we are wrong and the survival of our ship doesn't depend on getting rid of V. Most importantly we don't make up anything just so our ship can keep sailing.
GCF Saipan who???
We are here because among all 7 members it was Jikook who looked like they had something going on. You will find Suga biased Jkkrs, Jhope biased Jkkrs, Jin biased Jkkrs, etc. If I thought tkk were real, I would support them despite Jimin being my bias. THAT, anon is the difference between us and them. Not what you think.
Oh. This is the post anon and I are talking about. Please no hate to the blog. He/she seems like good people.
Like @magicshop-pjm1 likes to say; thanks for attending my TED talk

Oh my godddd do I need ur advice Cassssssssss! So in my friend group with have this mildly sexist joke, of whenever an annoying man does something irritating, we say “ugh men suck”. I am conscious that an “ugh women suck” would offend our group and therefore we’re hypocritical, but to be fair, we say it when men randomly sexualise us, they say it when women cry… so? Anyway, the other day, me (im a girl btw), and two of my other friends were hanging out in town. Ones a girl and ones a boy.
And this guy walks past and catcalls us, and my friend rolls her eyes and goes “ugh men fucking suck”. And my guy friend (who btw him and our other guy friend have said they’re fine with these jokes as long as we don’t act like they’re a part of it? u know) jokingly goes “ouch”. It’s a joke. I knew it was a joke and laughed. He’s respectful and kind and sweet and the type of guy to agree that that type of guy SUCKS.
BUT MY FRIEND goes; “Oh not you, you don’t count. You’re not a real guy.”
He’s trans.
And I wanted to punch her.
OF FUCKING COURSE HES A GUY. He literally put more effort into being a guy than any other guy you’ve ever met. All other guys are born having to be guys. He had to put the effort in to be called a guy. He’s more guy than any other guy.
But I didn’t punch her or correct her because knowing my guy friend, I knew he wouldn’t want to bring it up. He sort of looked at me, and me at him, and then there was an awkward silence before we went back to normal.
So we walk home and drop him off at his place and I give him a look, roughly translates to “is it cool if I bring up earlier to her and tell her she made u uncomfty.” and he gives me a look that’s sort of like “u know I hate talking abt this stuff but I don’t want that to happen again so sure, thanks”.
So we’re walking, its just us two now, and as we go I say, “Hey mind if we talk abt something u said today, I don’t think you meant it this way but I think it upset *my guy friend”
And she says sure and looks kinda confused. So I bring up the whole, you’re not a real guy, thing. And she says she didn’t mean it that way.
So I say, “You know I think you’re really lovely, and it was an accident and all, just for future reference, saying he’s not a real guy, it can cause dysphoria. So he feels like you’re rejecting him being trans and being a guy.”
And she’s goes “But he’s not a guy. He was a girl first so he gets it.” And I go “But he’s always felt like a guy and now he’s presenting as a guy and using male pronouns, so you saying he’s not a real guy is upsetting for him”.
And she goes “But he’s like us so he’s not a real guy.”
So I go “What? He doesn’t have a dick, is that it?” (i’m getting a lil defensive at this point, i’ve known my guy friend for YEARS and she’s a newer friend of like this year- and before this point very lovely, so i’m like confused and annoyed) then i say “Or is it that he’s nice. Did you mean he’s nice, like *our other guy friend who btw isn’t trans*. Not the type to catcall ppl?”
And she goes “Yeah. That. But like, if you think of a guy, you think the sort of body type right? He has our body or whatever. I’m not saying he’s not a guy. Just not a full guy.”
So I go, “No. No he is a ‘full’ guy. He’s as much guy as any other guy. And if you say he’s not- look my point is that saying that sort of thing really upsets him so please don’t in the future.”
And SHE GOES “Well if he has a problem he can tell me himself”.
GIRL WHAT THE FUCK? Okay look, I love my friends. And i’m not often the type to choose sides because a lot of arguments at 18 are petty ones. But I won’t be friends with this girl if I know she’s going to be transphobic and make one of my closest friends uncomfortable. Even if she doesn’t realise she’s being a transphobe.
So I say “please look this up so you understand why it would upset him. He doesn’t like to talk abt this stuff, but it bothers him”.
And she goes “how do you know it bothers him if he doesn’t talk abt it.”
And yes this could be genuine, if she finds it tough to read emotions on ppls faces, so I tried to be fair in answering.
I go, “Well, he seemed upset when you said it. And that sort of comment has been said to him before, and in private he’s mentioned that he doesn’t like it.”
We’ve had long talks abt the way it bothers him. But she doesn’t need to know that. He hates talking to ppl he’s not really close to abt this stuff since they can swerve any second (like this girl now).
So she goes “If he can tell u, why can’t he tell me?” And I go “He’s just more comfortable around me since we’ve known each other so long.”
(i would like to add in here, we are very good friends but also not the type to leave ppl out. She didn’t have a “reason” for her comment or a reason to be mad. We were all chatting all day. Never left her out. Just because we’ve known her less long, it didn’t bother me or him. There was no duo in a trio thing all day- I only brought up our closer relationship now since it seemed like a good way to explain it to her)
And she goes “Oh my god so you knew him before he transitioned then? What’s his deadname?”
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK!
I go silent. Then I say “I’ve known him a long time.” And then I go silent again and she doesn’t say anything and we walk the remaining like two- three minutes to her place. My house is like five minutes from there, it’s the exact way so it’s not like I could’ve gone a dif route.
So yeah. That happened.
So I text my guy friend once i’m home and give him the debrief.
He ends up deciding he doesn’t want to make this a thing. She’s friends with our bigger group- which is like 9-10 ppl- so he doesnt want to cause anything, even tho they’d all happily explain why she’s being a transphobe. He said he didn’t want her to feel ganged up on.
HES TOO NICE. WHAT THE HELL.
So I text him; “if she says anything else transphobic i’ll do my best to explain it to her and have her stop but if it becomes more than one more comment I think we should consider her friendship cause I know you’ll be uncomfortable and I don’t want to be friends with a transphobe.”
So yeah. Look I get that partly it’s not fair. She wasn’t raised somewhere where they’d teach her this stuff. She doesn’t understand that she’s being transphobic. But also, she should look this stuff up and listen when I tell her, instead of disregarding me when i’m tryna help.
But I also really want to get through to her. But most importantly I want my guy friend to be comfortable around his friends. But he’s way to nice to bring up what she said to everyone else (they would not approve either).
Hi!
Oh, wow.
Okay, first, I want to commend you for approaching this where you're trying not to make your guy friend uncomfortable while still being an ally. Genuinely, it sounds like you're a fantastic friend, and you're trying hard to listen to his needs.
This is so hard, because at first, I was like- oh! The other friend is just ignorant. A lot of people who make comments like that are ignorant, and like...even as a trans person, I can see the twisted way of thinking that ted to those comments.
But then, after being gently and kindly corrected, the friend doubled down, and THAT is the problem.
People are allowed to make mistakes, especially when they may have been raised with a set of views. But to double down like that is where I take issue, and I think you're right to take issue as well.
HOWEVER:
This is first and foremost, your guy friend's battle. If he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, you need to respect his wishes. You're absolutely correct (and very smart by realizing) that these comments can cause dysphoria, which is awful. But it could be that your guy friend wants to cope with that by not acknowledging it. And that's valid.
So I think the right thing to do is to not bring this specific issue up unless he asks. But if your other friend says generally transphobic things, I think it's okay to correct them if you feel comfortable. So like, if your other friend says "'Guy friend' is emotional like a girl." then I would wait for your guy friend's permission to say something. But if she says like.. "Trans people should have to go to the bathroom of their gender assigned at birth," then you can speak up. You can also choose on your own to take space from this other friend.
You can also be there for your guy friend by reminding him that you know those comments are not okay, and you support him however he needs.
I know it's a lot to think about, but I really think you're doing a great job. Write back with updates! I'm naming you commendable anon in case you do!

okay so i have so much stuff planned for blue moon so MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS FOR ANY FUTURE CHAPTERS LOOK AWAY AVERT UR EYES:
ik i said this before but all relationships r implied n i don’t make anything canon. that being said, i make sure all ships (even the most obscure n rare ones) get their flowers!! whether that’s from POV’s in the chapter, dialogue, or just little moments/details. that being said, here’s what i intended:
• ethan & jesse have the relationship dynamic of two toxic divorced men who have shared custody of their daughter (jane)
• jane is jesse’s kid idc idc idc im making it happen its gonna give reluctant dad/mentor who’s lowkey the Worst Person Ever & daughter/mentee he didn’t want but NEEDED!!! they’re gonna be so good. im gonna eat it up.
• jane is ethan’s kid too ig but it’s not the same. like that’s her protector n her brother sure but JESSE?? he commits war crimes for that little girl she’s his baby
• audrey & ethan have the relationship dynamic of something soft and sweet. like she makes him feel grounded, but not exactly human. safe. i adore them. i rlly wanted it to give monster bf x human gf so i hope it has those vibes(?)
• rory & ethan (im so so biased i love them so much) they have the dynamic of puppy love. they’re just the sweetest n kindest n they make my heart hurt so much. literally aches.
• benny & ethan r very much old married couple. (they’re gonna hurt yall so bad in the last chapter for s1 like yall r gonna hate me!) they fight n bicker, but it’s like a domestic kind (until it’s not) n crazily enough i actually don’t ship them (don’t crucify me yall) but i want to feed the bethan shippers.
• sarah & ethan give nerd x cool girl he’d do anything for. like he is the loser bf to her cool popular gf!! i actually rlly love this ship n its kinda sickening, but i think ethan heals sarah from her past hurts (jesse u asshole) n sarah makes ethan feel seen n less of a dork.
• erica & ethan r just cuties!! friends forever!! like it’s black cat x golden retriever with them. while i don’t ship, i understand it’s a REALLY rare pair, so they have cute moments where they have fun together. its more platonic, i’ll admit, but if u wanna read into it u can.
• benny & erica r unrequited crushes. like i fear they had a crush on each other b4 she became a vampire, n after the bite it just could never go anywhere. she became too different, n he stayed the same. he’s bitter abt the missed chance; n she can’t imagine him ever liking her before she was a vampire.
• erica & rory have the same dynamic in the show but she’s just nicer to him about it. that’s her puppy, n she treats him as such but she’ll be DAMNED if YOU treat him like a dog. who do u think u r???
• erica & sarah are sapphic vampire gfs. soulmates, ur honor. it’s bad. real bad. i fear they are each other’s homes.
• jesse & rory give evil villain n his loyal henchman. it’s cute in a “oh he listens n respects ur opinions” kind of way, but he takes those opinions to further his selfish agenda.
•NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JESSE/SARAH OR JESSE/ERICA, THAT SHIT IS PAST TENSE AND FINISHED!! REFUSE TO HAVE A MAN COME BETWEEN WOMEN!
•audrey & sarah r gonna be best friends. they don’t argue over a man; they’re better than that. unfortunately audrey is straight n this won’t be romantic😓
• s2 is gonna be longer than s1–so like twenty chapters probably(?) #longfic #somuchthoughtputinthis and i am probably gonna go back n edit s1 chapters in between updates for s2 but i rlly rlly wanna dive deep in each character. ESPECIALLY JESSE. this redemption arc is gonna go crazy. he’s a horrible, terrible, very bad man and yet!!
• i love audrey n im forcing everyone to love her as well. i normally hate OC’s in fics bc it’s like damn why is this person taking over the narrative(?) n more often than not it feels like an extension of the author’s personality. unfortunately if i was gonna make audrey an extension of me and a self-insert for me i would have her flirt HEAVY w erica. love erica bad😝 if anything audrey is just for fun. i was like hm? what if we gave ethan a little red riding hood?? wouldn’t that be sooo funny? n it is.
• i’m sorry for bringing this up again but the ethan & jane & jesse dynamic goes sooo crazy. so crazy. be thankful im not turning it into a louis & claudia & lestat situation bc i contemplated more than once having jane almost die n ethan beg jesse to turn her. i decided against it but the urge was there.
#my babysitter's a vampire#rants#ethan morgan & jane morgan u are so dear to me#i’ll update the tags accordingly w the updates but omg i love them#sorry for this but i rlly do love them

Here is a list of all time favorite marvel and dc sagas among the biggest crossover list to see who is the baddest of them all or is it too close to say whom is the heavy weight champ of super hero lore?
Which would you vote for as the best
A) Deadpool
B) X-men Including X-men Days of Future Past and all the trilogies which X-men was the fav as we saw the rise of Professor X and Magnetto whom were a pretty damn good duo. They never got Gambit right until thank god for Deadpool once again saving the day.
However the clash of Deadpool origins as one describes his creation from a lab project gone wrong hence the first fight of Wolverine Origin and Deadpool in X-men Origina and the more current version of his timeline in which actually FRANCIS would not of been the object of hate much like wolverines hate for the Trucker in his original Wolverine Origins. Deadpool would have then been even more a foe of Wolverine but Wolverine maid it difficult for that Deadpool to even be a side note
Logan was maybe one of my stand alone Wolverine movie best thou and they were good to use that in the current Deadpool saga.
We all know what new Deadpool did with that montrasty of the old Deadpool in Deadpool 2
C) Iron Man was my favorite over the Cap America’s and really Cap got shorted a movie to make a saga as after Winter Soldier we were already in the Civil War and Avengers rise of Ultran
We had to get Buck’s story first then the Falcon was launched with the more recent 2025 Cap America.
D) The Avengers and nothing is as good a build up to End Game and the most iconic foe titan Thanos.
E) I ll take the Dark Knight my fist DC saga and yeah I am biased that went against my youth as I was a kid during my the Michael Keaton saga of Batman as well as Val Kilmer was my era of becoming a super hero movie fan along with original Superman movies with Christopher Reeves
F) I must not forget Blade
G) Guardians of the Galaxy
H) Spider-Man all of them Toby Andrew and Tom all rocked the shit out of that Spidey role I think they all great.
I) and they should have their own category Into the Spiderverse Across the Spiderverse and we know the end of this Saga is upon us in the near future
J) Thor as we do not have Loki either if we don’t have Thor
K) As well as Wakanda forever and the Black Panther saga
L) Man of Steel Batman vs Superman and Justice League I thought Man of Steel was the best but the other two didn’t make my cut for all time in my mind.
M) Dr Strange and all of his Multiverses of Madness
N) Venom one was awesome 2 I didn’t see yet but the upcoming Venom movie in the fall looks pretty good.
O) Antman was extremely great and
P) Hulk and only the Incredible Hulk not Eric Bana and Ed Norton was my preferred hulk but Ruffalo was a nice addition but he sort of was a stretch for me to be as good as Norton’s portrayal I was upset with the Hulk John Woo version and if you were around the hype was as bad as when we saw Godzilla in 1999 well actually a re vised Godzilla that was a far looking different Godzilla than the Godzilla we always saw growing up.
Q) Aquaman never really interested me but I guess we must include
R) Wonder Woman and 84 and we know she appears in Justice League as well as Batman vs Superman
S) Shazam not a big fan here but I got give respect that his series is better than anything in this next choice
T) Fantastic Four it’s a shame and hopefully they get it right with the next adaptation of Dr Doom who besides Thanos was really a bad dude in which took all Four and. Silver Surfer to take down.
U) Harley Queen as well as the Bird-of Prey and Suicide Squad
V) Spawn this needs a revision but I didn’t mind the OG.
W) Blue Beatle just saw it and it was a good start
X) Daredevil sorry Ben and double sorry as casted as Batman and that too was two strikes for Mr Afleck
Y) The Punisher
Z) Ghost Rider
Now the last few here technically didn’t make the Saga criteria but along with Logan even though it was an end but not for ever end .were decent hopefully to something that could have been even better if they did the adaptation better down the road. The Punisher series is a series I will have to revisit as well as the Flash but the Flash just could never get that mass fan fare as much as any other DC character I still think Superman or Batman is an always better draw for audiences which is a shame but it is the reality. And maybe it could have caught up to Spider-Man success but it really never launched as much as the future for DC moving forward.
If you want to vote leave your top two or three in the comments or reshare with the gif or charachter of choice if you choose to do so and thank you for voting and might of even forgot someone on this list but I think besides Flash Gordon fans people should be satisfied with the choices.

NEW X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES - SEASON 2, EPISODE 2
“I am pure blazing fire!”
We open in a high-tech paramilitary base where dozens of men and women stand lined-up, all donned in green and gray armor, and all giving the same fist-raised salute. They chant in unison.
“I deserve to be powerful!”
“I am the superior man!”
Standing above all these soldiers on a levitating platform is a good looking Caucasian man in his 30s, donned in a loose fitting suit, and sporting slick brown hair. The man’s name is John Sublime.
SUBLIME: “That’s right, ladies and gentlemen! And don’t you ever forget one word of our mantras! Evolution is the greatest scam in all of history! We are human beings! The greatest form of life to ever walk the Earth! Be proud! The Mutants think they’re better than us, but what are they?!”
“WRONG!”
SUBLIME: “That’s right! Dead wrong! Homo Superior? Please! What’s so “superior” about being born lucky? You, my friends, are the true greats. You are the dedicated and hard-working. You are the ones who deserve their gifts. And if you want something?”
“VISUALIZE IT AND OBTAIN IT!”
SUBLIME: “Exactly! You, the first class of U-Men, have already mastered visualization. You, the true next stage in humanity’s progress, have learned the skills you need for success. And now, all that’s left to do…”
“IS TAKE THESE MUTIES’ POWERS FOR OURSELVES!”
SUBLIME: “Yes! Yes, perfect! The only things in this world which are fair are the things which you make happen! Once you’ve completed your missions, Mutants will never be able to look down on any of you again! Just the thought of one looking at me with disgust makes my skin itch. Before you go, close your eyes and take a moment. Take a moment to imagine how they’re laughing at you right now.”
We cut to an island of metal in the middle of the ocean. It’s a rainy morning, and hundreds of Mutants, including many notable X-Men, though equally notably none of the current X-Men team, are gathered here, all with somber looks on their faces. In the middle of the island is a massive pillar. One with the names of every single Genoshan carved into it.
Floating above the crowd are Polaris, Quicksilver, and the newly introduced third Maximoff child, Wanda, the Scarlet Witch.
Polaris is forcing herself through a speech to all Mutants present. About how Mutantkind has never seen a greater tragedy than this genocide. About how it's the duty of all those who remain to live for those who cannot. About the greatness of President Magneto, who will be found, and who will lead Mutants into the future. And about how while they should never harm those who have not directly harmed them, they cannot forget that humans, all humans, are the enemy of Mutantkind.
LORNA: "It is not their fault for how they were born, but there is simply no good in them."
Throughout Lorna's speech, we focus on a single Mutant in the crowd, who looks like a completely average woman, standing in between Jubilee, dressed in all black like most attendees, and sporting oddly pale skin, and Chamber, who's always dressed in black.
Following Lorna's above line…
JUBILEE: "I thought this was supposed to be, like, a funeral for the Genoshans. Not a supervillain speech."
CHAMBER, telepathically: "Don't be too harsh on her. She's mourning more than any of us."
Focusing on the Mutant in between them, she receives a telepathic message…from Cyclops.
CYCLOPS, telepathically: "I should be there."
As she responds, the Mutant is revealed to be Emma in telepathic disguise.
EMMA, telepathically: "And I'd love to have you here with me, but now is not the time to be starting a ruckus."
CYCLOPS: "Yeah. I know. Is the service almost over?"
EMMA: "I believe so. And I have eyes on our target."
Narrowing her eyes, Emma stares further into the crowd at Bobby Drake AKA Iceman.
We cut to a new location, a New York City coffee shop called, “The Grindhouse”. It’s a small, cozy store, with a “Help Wanted” sign in the window.
Inside, Noriko and Sofia are seated at a table. Noriko is guzzling a disgustingly sweet frappuccino, while Sofia is drinking tea. However, the latter isn’t doing much actual drinking, as Sofia cannot stop crying hysterically.
Noriko tries her best to comfort her, attempting to be sweet and supportive. Of course, this is Noriko, so attempting this mostly means tossing out stock lines.
NORIKO: “You didn’t do anything wrong, Sofia. It’s gonna be okay. It’s not your fault he acted this way. Everything is gonna be okay.”
When this inevitably fails, Surge elects to take a more “Nori” approach.
NORIKO: “God! Enough crying, Princess! Keller is a piece of shit, and not worth crying over. You can have literally any guy you want! And all of them will be better than him.”
Sofia sniffles, managing to slightly calm down and sip her tea.
SOFIA, eyes on her tea: “Do you know why I became an influencer? It wasn’t intentional. I just wanted people to like me. No one at my old school did, so I turned to the internet. I am loved by thousands of people, but I do not know the first thing about any of them.” She takes another sip. “The video of Julian and I being crowned and getting together at the dance has gotten over one million views. But I did not have someone else record it. They did it on their own. I was too caught up in the moment. I was too happy, finally having someone who knew and loved the real me.”
Noriko groans. First off, Keller never loved her. Laura might, and she does as a friend, but that’s it. Sofia disagrees. She doesn’t know what’s wrong with Julian exactly, but she knows he never would have said anything like what he did to her before his injury.
NORIKO, slurping up the last of her frap: “Enough! I cannot stand one more second of you crying over this loser. When we’re done here, you go to your room, do a little dance, and get reminded how awesome you are by your thousands of followers.”
SOFIA, under her breath: “I decided to call them Wind Babies.”
NORIKO: “So not calling them that. And while you’re doing your thing, I’m gonna prove he never really cared out about you.”
SOFIA: “Please do not.”
NORIKO: “No! He doesn’t get to sleep with you and then dump you like you’re trash! No way!”
Noriko speeds back and forth to and from the trashcan to toss out her cup.
NORIKO: “You’ll see.”
Sofia chokes up and sniffles.
The post-funeral reception for the Genoshans is taking place at Wanda’s sizable house, one with mystical artifacts on display all around it. Inside, she and her siblings are toasting among themselves, while dozens of other Mutants mingle. Some still look miserable, while others are distracting themselves and finding joy and comfort in their community.
We’re properly introduced to Bobby as, when Lorna walks away from her siblings, he approaches her, appearing equally dower. They make pleasantries, Bobby offering his condolences and Lorna appreciating them. But then…
BOBBY: “Hey, listen, I know this won’t change anything, but we were always able to distract each other from our pain when we were together, weren’t we?” Bobby dons a cocky, shithead smirk. “Maybe we re-use an old strategy?”
Lorna proceeds to throw her drink into his face, calling him a pig as she walks off.
BOBBY, to himself: “Re-use an old strategy? Come on, Bobby, you have better pickup lines than that.”
“Somehow I doubt that.”
Bobby turns around and, unlike everyone else, his mind isn’t being tricked by an illusion.
BOBBY, smirking: “Well, well, well. Emma Frost. I don’t think I’ve seen you since our date.”
EMMA: “Robert, it was a school dance, and I didn’t want my students badgering me about finding an actual date. Nothing more.”
BOBBY: “Whatever you say.”
Emma sighs and explains why she’s spending time on him. With Jean off in space and one with the Phoenix now, the X-Men are now their most powerful member. And while they still have herself and Storm as big guns, that’s not enough.
EMMA: “And as far as I’m aware, apart from the two of us and Charles, you’re the only other Omega to wear an X.”
Bobby laughs and shakes his head. He doesn’t like the whole “Omega Level Mutant” thing. Yeah, he’s powerful and awesome, but he’s still just another Mutant. As for what she’s getting at, sorry, but he isn’t interested in rejoining the X-Men.
EMMA: “Whatever could you be doing that’s more important?”
BOBBY: “Living my life. Right now, that’s all I want to do. You know who you should talk to instead? Rogue. She’s a big gun, and she’s been taking care of Destiny ever since you got Mystique locked up. Probably best to get her out of there.”
EMMA: “Cyclops and I do not want Rogue, Robert. We want you.”
BOBBY: “Yeah?” Iceman chugs back the rest of his drink. “Well, obviously you and Scott getting what you want doesn’t end well, right?”
Bobby turns around and makes an ice bridge to slide downstairs on, leaving behind an indignant Emma.
In the institute’s common area, Sooraya, Brian, Cessily, and Roxy are hanging out. Specifically, Sooraya is kicking Brian’s ass at chess as he questions why he thought this was a good idea, while Cessily and Roxy are making out on the couch.
Noriko barges in, shouting at her friends as she asks them if any of them have talked to Julian today.
ROXY, whispering: “Is she always so loud?”
CESSILY, whispering: “Pretty much.”
Brian tells Nori he managed to get a few words out of him, but nothing much. Sooraya, however, comments that she knows what happened between him and Sofia.
SOORAYA: “I assume that’s why you’re so full of rage. Apart from all your usual reasons.”
NORIKO: “Ding! Ding! Give it up for the girl in the abaya! Wanna tell me why you sound like you think I’m out of line for being pissed at that d-bag for breaking my girl’s heart?”
Sooraya is about to start answering, but Brian gets up and gets right in Nori’s face.
BRIAN: “Listen, we all obviously care about Sofia, but none of us can even imagine what Julian is feeling right now. Hopefully in a few days, he’ll calm down, apologize and say he didn’t mean any of what he said, and things will be back to normal. Try to have some empathy, okay?”
Nori just laughs for a moment before turning around to walk off.
CESSILY, irritated: “Nori, where are you going?”
NORIKO: “Just gonna go chat with Keller! Nothing wrong with having a nice little chat.”
Noriko exits.
There’s a brief silence.
ROXY: “So she’s not gonna kill him, right?”
CESSILY: “What? No. Of course not. Probably.”
…
CESSILY: “Can we go back to making out now?”
Emma rides in the back of her car, drink in hand, as she telepathically communicates with Scott. Scott, over at the institute, is working out in the gym, wearing nothing except his sunglasses, gym shorts, and socks and sneakers, his rock hard abs on full display. Emma informs Scott that Bobby was a bust. Perhaps they should take his recommendation and look into recruiting Rogue? Or maybe Bishop? He’s yummy.
Emma, in Scott’s head, looks at him working out on the pull-up bar and sweating from his perspective.
EMMA, grinning: “Speaking of yummy…”
SCOTT: “Keep it professional, Emma. And no, we’re not giving up on Iceman. I know where he’s staying. I’ll talk to him myself.”
Scott asks Emma if she’s on her way back to the school, but she tells him she’s making a stop first.
EMMA: “Just imagine I’m doing whatever you think I do in my spare time. Eat babies, kick puppies, get creative with it.”
There’s a brief pause.
SCOTT: “You shouldn’t make those jokes about yourself.”
EMMA: “And you should follow your own orders and keep things professional.”
Emma “hangs up” on Scott as her car is parked, her driver informing her they’ve arrived.
Emma is helped out of her car as she thanks her driver, Bumpkin, a green man in a white suit with a large chin. We see that she’s entering a mental hospital.
Elsewhere, Bobby enters a penthouse apartment with a strong old-money aesthetic. He calls out to Warren, sarcastically calling out, “Honey, I’m home!”
BOBBY: “You should have come to the reception. Got to see a lot of old faces. And get a lot of updates on things I missed. Did you know Legion’s dead?”
Warren Worthington III AKA Archangel emerges from around a corner, having just come out of the shower. He’s drying himself off and is only wearing his wing binder and a towel around his waist.
WARREN: “Bobby…you were there when he was killed. We both were.”
BOBBY, on his phone: “Were we? Huh.”
Bobby starts to change the subject but as his eyes turn to Warren’s almost nude form, they widen for just a moment as he hiccups.
Plopping himself down on Warren’s couch and stretching himself out across it, he brings up that Emma Frost was there and tried recruiting him to rejoin the X-Men.
Warren begins dressed himself with clothes he had laid out, asking if she asked about him.
BOBBY, loudly noshing on a bag of chips: “Why would she ask about you?”
WARREN: “Because I…” SIGH “…never mind.”
Warren then questions why Bobby didn’t say yes. With everything that’s happened, they could use one of their best heroes right now. And it’s not like he has anything else going on.
WARREN: “No job, no hobbies, no girlfriend…” Warren steals the bag of chips away from Bobby before he can make any more crumbs. “And it would get you off my couch.”
Warren shivers as he’s overcome with a coldwave, dropping the chip bag back into Bobby’s hands.
BOBBY: “Yeah, well…I like it here.”
Bobby resumes eating and turns on the TV as Warren walks off in frustration.
In their armory, the U-Men are getting loaded up with weapons and gear, so excited for their first op. One guy though thinks astral projection is a pretty lame power.
U-MAN #1: “I want claws like Wolverine’s! Or fire powers!”
U-MAN #2: “Please, everyone knows telepathy is the genetic goldmine. Those are the luckiest Muties of all. You know I used to run a scam where I pretended to be able to read minds. If anyone should be a telepath, it’s me. I’ll fight you guys for that too!”
U-MAN #3, who’s a woman: “Relax, dude. Even with all the resources the Purifers wasted bombing Genosha, there’s still more than enough X-genes to go around for all of us.”
U-MAN #1: “And it shouldn’t be long before we’re taking them either. Once we prove to Mr. Sublime that we’re skilled enough to kill them on our own, we won’t have to wait with the rest of the team.”
On their way out of the armory, U-Man #2 is freaked out by a floating brain outside in the hallway. His friends laugh at him. It’s nothing to be afraid of. That’s just Martha.
U-MAN #1: “Lol dude, you were just talking about how cool telepaths are. Martha’s the best. She may not have her body anymore, but she can still use her powers to keep other Muties pacified while Mr. Sublime extracts their X-genes.”
U-MAN #2: “Huh! Guess that makes you one of us. I’d give you a high-five if you had, you know, hands.”
The three say goodbye to Martha as Sublime summons his U-Men over the speaker, with it being time to go, U-Man #3 patting her glass dome tank like a pet. Martha is just left floating there.
In his private medical room, Julian is still recovering in bed mindlessly changing the channel on the TV with his telekinesis, nothing seems good. His eyes are empty, and he’s still in immense pain.
NORIKO, kicking in Julian’s door: “Hey, Keller! We need to talk!”
Julian shuts his eyes and lets out the deepest sigh.
JULIAN: “What do you want, Ashida?”
Noriko shouts at him about how he broke up with Sofia, with her quickly winding up speaking super fast, and devolving into throwing a ton of insults his way. Julian asks if she’s REALLY doing this right now, and when she flatly says “Yes”, he asks why she isn’t happy. She never even liked them together!
NORIKO: “Imaynotlikeyou…” Noriko calms herself down so she can speak normally. “I may not like you, but you made her happy. I hoped you weren’t just using her, but you proved yourself to be as much of a jerk as I’ve always known you were. You chased her for an entire semester just do you could get some sex and break her heart. And I can see that! But she can’t. She thinks you’re just hurting and lashing out, but I know you better than that. So I’m gonna call her in here, and you’re gonna calmly own up to everything. Got it?”
Julian’s legs tremble as he continues to seethe. He turns the TV off. He then, with great strain, sits up.
JULIAN: “Or what?”
Nori lights her gauntlets up, surrounding them with a small, electric aura.
NORI: “You know what.”
JULIAN: “Seriously? You’re challenging the handless guy to a fight?” Julian laughs as he grins manically and telekinetically disconnects all the wires hooked up to him. Life returns to his eyes as he surrounds himself in his green aura. “Good thing I never needed hands to kick your ass.”
The two stare each other down.
We then cut to an exterior shot of the school, which is silent for a moment. Noriko and Julian proceed to blast through the ceiling, ready to throw down.
Back inside the school, Beast comes running into Julian’s room to see what happened, only to find him gone, and the hole the two of them blasted through multiple floors.
BEAST: “Oh, my stars and garters.”
Emma struts down the hall of the mental hospital, politely greeting various doctors and nurses she passes by, many of whom she’s on a first name basis with.
She soon arrives at her destination, the hospital room of her brother, Christian Frost.
Christian is slightly older than Emma, extremely good looking, and possesses a shaved, blonde head. He’s also restrained and strapped down to his bed, but that doesn’t stop his face from lighting up upon seeing his little sister.
CHRISTIAN: “Emi! How’s my favorite baby sister doing?”
EMMA, pleasantly annoyed: “Do you have to say those words verbatim every time I come to visit?”
CHRISTIAN: “I know it annoys you, so yes. You’re never gonna get too old or powerful for me to pick on.”
Dodging her brother’s question and not wanting to talk about recent events, Emma asks Christian how HE’S doing. Christian proceeds to mock the usual crappy food and praise the recent influx of hunky male nurses.
Through their conversation, we learn exactly what the situation here is: Christian has been trapped here by Winston for around 20 years, ever since he attempted suicide. While Emma became richer and more powerful than her father years ago, the difference isn’t SO great that she can override what he did, especially not with Adrienne and Cordelia also out there. Christian has mostly gotten used to life here, but he’s only still sane because, ever since Emma first became the White Queen, she’s been visiting him at least once a month.
Christian returns to what he asked originally and questions how his little sister is.
CHRISTIAN: “I see you dodging. You aren’t hitting the cocaine again, right? Cause everyone here has really enjoyed you not laughing maniacally these last few years.”
EMMA, embarrassed: “I…wouldn’t call the laughter maniacal.”
CHRISTIAN: “Very maniacal. At the top of your lungs. Often about the time you burned a horse to death.”
EMMA, completely flustered: “Let’s PLEASE refrain from discussing Butter Rum!”
Christian laughs, while Emma momentarily turns back into her mousy teenage self.
CHRISTIAN: “Seriously though. What’s going on?”
Emma composes herself and, with a heavy heart, is about to answer, when machine gun fire rings through the halls.
Christian’s face fills with fear.
CHRISTIAN: “Don’t suppose you brought henchmen?”
Emma’s face hardens as she stands.
EMMA: “Stay calm.I shall handle this.”
Emma marches out of the room to see what’s going on.
Above the school, Julian and Noriko prepare to fight. Julian mocks Nori for thinking she can take him even in his current state, considering he’s been stronger and better with his powers than her since day 1.
JULIAN: “And if you aren’t careful, you may blow up the damn school.”
Noriko counters back that she’s never one to run away from a fight.
NORIKO: “That’s more your thing, right? Well, that and getting crippled. I, on the other hand, managed to NOT get my hands blown off in that fight like a complete dumbass.”
Julian roars in rage, launching a telekinetic wave at Surge. Surge, with far more limited airtime than Hellion, only able to propel herself into the air through continued blasts, gets down to the ground as quickly as possible.
Hellion follows after her, launching attack after attack, destroying the front yard once again, while Noriko runs all around it, dodging.
SURGE: “What exactly do you think happens after this, Keller? Your crew’s got your back for now, but how long do you think they’re gonna put up with this?”
HELLION, unrelentingly attacking: “I don’t care! I don’t need any of you!”
SURGE: “Okay, that, that I know is BS.”
Surge takes carefully controlled pot shots at Hellion, but they can’t even get through his forcefield. This gives Julian an idea, as he expands his forcefield, focuses all that energy around his legs, and flies down to crush Noriko.
Noriko’s unsure if this is gonna work, or if it’ll work too well, but she expands her own electrical aura around herself, before focusing it all around her gauntlets, supercharging them.
Julian swoops down to stomp Surge into the dirt, but Nori blocks with her gauntlets. TK energy clashes with electricity as both teens sweat and grit their teeth nervously. The clash ends in an explosion, as a cloud of smoke surrounds the two.
In the mental hospital’s main entrance, dozens of U-Men, all armed with machine guns, march through, while doctors, nurses, and other staff are terrified, on their knees and bent over with their hands on the floor.
U-MEN COMMANDER: “We apologize for this interruption to your daily lives, fellow sapiens, but I assure you we mean no harm. We are only here to take the Mutant in your custody off your hands so that genetic reparations toward the human race can begin to be paid.”
“Oh, that’s a new one.”
The U-Men all turn and aim their guns as Emma enters the scene.
EMMA: “I’ve seen religious bigotry, I’ve heard replacement theory, and I’ve encountered those who see us as a threat to humanity’s continued survival time and time again, but I cannot say I’ve ever seen your kind openly admit to being motivated by your envy of our superiority. It’s refreshingly honest.” Emma sneers and sways her hips. “Not that that will save you here.”
The U-Men commander shouts at her not to compare them to the likes of the Purifers or the Friends of Humanity. They’re nothing like those racist monsters. They just want what’s fair.
U-Man #1 then puts his hand on his commander’s shoulder and, quivering, questions if he doesn’t know who this is. That’s Emma Frost of the X-Men! According to Mr. Sublime’s Omega List, with Jean Grey, Charles Xavier, and Magneto’s present statuses unclear, she’s one of only 6 confirmed Omega Level Mutants on the planet.
U-MAN #3, excited: “And one of only three Omega Level women!” She steps forward. “I am SUCH a big fan, Ms. Frost! I promise you, after I blow your brains out, your genes will be in good hands!”
U-MAN #1, sounding like he’s about to soil himself: “Guys, seriously, we should not be messing with her!”
U-MAN #2: “No can do, man. Like I said. Telepaths are the best.”
The commander steps forward and tells her that they weren’t expecting her to be here today. This was supposed to be a nice, quick and peaceful operation where no one got hurt. If she and her brother will surrender peacefully, they don’t need to put these good people in the crossfire.
Emma smirks.
EMMA: “Oh, don’t worry, darling. No good people shall be harmed today.”
Emma blasts every single U-Man’s mind with psychic lightning…only to be shocked when it has no effect.
U-MAN COMMANDER: “Surprised, Mutie? We came prepared.”
With everyone on the floor still terrified, Emma sneers.
Outside the school, Noriko and Julian are still fighting. Ducking and dodging around each other, Noriko is firing larger electric blasts at him, while Julian is tearing up the ground to launch chunks of it at her.
SURGE: “What’s your problem anyway, tough guy?! You already told Sofia how you feel once! Why not just do it again?!”
HELLION: “I dunno! Maybe because you asked me to? Better question: Do you think I can’t see what’s really going on here?”
SURGE: “As per usual, no idea what you’re talking about.”
As the battle continues, students pour out of the school, entranced by the flashiness of the fight taking place. Kids begin cheering them on and calling other students to come see that Hellion and Surge are having a rematch.
In her office…
DANI: “They’re what?!”
In Warren’s penthouse, Bobby is still on the couch, eating popcorn, and watching what sounds like an Avengers animated series.
Bobby laughs at the scene.
BOBBY: “HA HA! Oh…those douchebags.”
Bobby is startled, dropping his popcorn on the floor, when “ICEMAN!” is shouted in his head.
BOBBY, telepath: “Huh?! Who’s calling?”
In the hospital, we see Emma ducked behind a wall for cover as the U-Men unload their machine guns in her direction.
EMMA, telepathically: “Who else would be? I’m having a little situation at the Cockrum Mental Institute. I require immediate assistance, and you and Archangel are the only ones presently in the vicinity.”
BOBBY, telepathically: “Oh, sure, you ask me to rejoin the team, I say no, and then you conveniently need my help. Sorry, Emma. Not THAT stupid.”
EMMA: “I KNOW you aren’t stupid at all, Robert, no matter how you present yourself.” Emma shows Bobby exactly what’s happening right now. “Now, are you going to help me, and everyone else here, or have you given up on helping others entirely?”
Bobby bites his lip before relenting. He gets up, transforms into his ice form, and tells Emma he’s on his way before exiting via an ice bridge out the window.
As Hellion and Surge continue to fight, and more and more students continue to come out to watch, Mercury, Bling!, Dust, and Tag arrive on the scene.
MERCURY: “Oh my GOD, you guys! Really?!”
BLING!: “She actually is gonna kill him.”
TAG: “Soo, you’re the only one here on their level! You gotta get in there and stop them!”
Sooraya just glares at Brian.
TAG: “SOMEONE has to get in there and stop them!”
“KIDS!”
TAG: “Oh thank god.”
Dani, Nightcrawler, and Northstar race out of the school. Dani shouts off how these two are in big trouble and have some serious explaining to do, but all three teachers’ jaws quickly drop.
Completely engulfed in their respective bright green and electric blue auras, Surge and Hellion are dashing around the front yard at such great velocity that no one can even see them, only their power signatures and attacks.
No one except the super speedster Northstar that is.
KURT: “Teach your kids some new tricks, eh, Danielle?”
Dani has no idea how they’re doing this. She of course knew they’d made a lot of progress, she was even the one to teach them some of the tricks they’ve been using lately, but they’re only getting stronger and stronger at an even faster rate.
DANI: “Four months ago, Surge wasn’t even capable of going half this fast with her gauntlets on, and she could only maintain the top speed she could manage for ten seconds. Hellion’s telekinesis didn’t allow for much super speed at all.”
NORTHSTAR: “Anole’s a good kid, but I am jealous no one on my squad is even close to this.”
In the hospital, Emma is still trying to figure out what to do about the U-Men. As the soldiers cease firing for a moment, the commander laughs and mocks her. She may be one of the most naturally powerful people on Earth, but no Mutant can stand against human ingenuity. Their suits and weaponry are all based on the same scientific principles as the ones behind SHIELD's power-nullifying handcuffs. Mutant powers won’t work on them.
Emma, buying time, questions how sad and pathetic the lives of these men and women must be for their, albeit wholly justified, envy to have driven them to militarization and murder. Just how entitled ARE they?
The commander spits back that that’s rich coming from her. Emma and all of her siblings won the genetic lottery more than maybe anyone else, being born billionaire Mutants. She had everything handed to her. They’re just trying to claim the privileges of what the circumstances of their birth denied them.
Emma quickly flashes back through a montage of her horribly abusive childhood. Her father smacking her for bringing home a “B” on a test, Adrienne setting fire to her dolls, and walking into Christian’s room and finding him attempting suicide. This is then followed by an equal montage of how hard she worked prior to becoming White Queen.
In the present, Emma snickers. Is she privileged? Undoubtedly so. But nothing in her life was handed to her. Least of all the body they’re all so jealous of. She understands doing whatever it takes to become the person you want to be, and, apart from her X-gene, there isn’t one circumstance of her birth she’s happy about. She gets why they’re doing this. Unfortunately…
Emma floats out of cover and is immediately barraged by a hailstorm of bullets. Having assumed her new diamond form, these bullets meant to completely bypass Mutant strengths only mildly wound her.
EMMA: “You’re all just a bunch of nerds.”
Emma flies toward the platoon and uppercuts the commander through the ceiling. She swats away at the others until U-Men #2, grunting that he’s no nerd, he’s a future telepath, releases a gas which temporarily neutralizes her powers entirely.
Powerless, Emma is kicked around by the U-Men and eventually restrained.
U-MAN #1: “Look at us! We beat an Omega! Someone go grab her brother and let’s get out of here!”
Suddenly, the front doors blow open and a freezing chill spreads through the hospital.
Iceman appears on the scene, ice-bridging into the hospital before hopping off.
ICEMAN: “Never fear! Iceman’s here!”
All of the U-Men point their guns at him .
ICEMAN: “I know, I know, cliche entrance line. But I don’t think it’s worth killing me over.”
Still restrained, Emma laughs with honest amusement at his antics.
Outside the school, the fight has escalated even further. Julian and Noriko, who barely seem to be in control of their own bodies at this point, are wrapped in wide fields of their respective auras, in mid-air, and simply clashing over and over again, with the excess energy from both of them flying off in different directions.
Cessily questions why the teachers are just standing around doing nothing, with Dani explaining that with how fast they’re moving and how much energy they’re charged up with, Nightcrawler and Northstar can’t even get near them, and with how sensitive their minds feel right now, Dani doesn’t feel comfortable throwing their worst nightmares at them right now. Northstar says they need to do SOMETHING. Those kids are gonna kill someone, either themselves or someone else, and he does not want to be the one to explain dead children to Cyclops and Storm when they get back.
As the fight intensifies, Julian and Noriko’s clothes are torn and blood runs down their sides…
NORIKO: “YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A SCARED LITTLE BOY THROWING A TANTRUM BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU AREN’T PERFECT ANYMORE - AS IF YOU EVER WERE!”
JULIAN: “AND YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A LOUD-MOUTHED PUNK WHO NO ONE LIKES LOOKING FOR A BEATDOWN TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER BECAUSE YOU FEEL GUILTY YOU WALKED AWAY FROM THE SENTINELS UNSCATHED! BOO HOO!”
NORIKO: “YOU’RE ONLY ALIVE BECAUSE OF ME YOU ABSOLUTE…”
There’s a deafening explosion, all of the students having now stopped cheering, and instead become as concerned as the teachers.
Kurt snaps his fingers. He has an idea. Dani tries to get him to explain, but he’s already BAMFED away.
The U-Men, specifically U-Man #1, freak out that a second Omega has shown up unexpectedly, with some of their younger members eagerly questioning if everyone else on the list (Scarlet Witch, Storm, Exodus, and Proteus) are going to show up.
U-MAN #1: “Exodus is SO hot.”
ICEMAN: “Gross. Anyway you’re all going to jail now.”
U-MAN #2 laughs as he puts a gun Emma’s head. They aren’t afraid of him! Their suits will protect them from his ice, and if he so much as moves, he’ll kill Emma.
EMMA: “Basing your strategy on someone caring if I live or die. A risky move.”
U-Man #3 steps forward and tells Iceman to power down now and surrender. There’s nothing he can do to stop them that Emma couldn’t.
U-MAN #3: “I’ve seen you on TV since I was a kid. One of the original 5 X-Men. But you never belonged in the same class as them, bro. One’s leading all you Muties now, one’s a god, one’s a billionaire CEO, and one’s among the greatest scientists on Earth! And you? Just the class clown. The run of the litter. According to our files, jobless and homeless. You are EVERYTHING the U-Men stand against! People like you do not deserve the powers you have!”
Bobby…freezes up.
One of the U-Men shouts to open fire, and Iceman is knocked back and sent to the floor by a barrage of their bullets. While still in his ice form, he groans in pain.
EMMA, telepathically: “Iceman, what is the MATTER with you?!”
BOBBY, telepathically: “I…I can’t…they’re right.”
EMMA: “Excuse me?! What do you mean they’re right?!”
Bobby makes a getaway further into the hospital on an ice bridge, just trying to put space between himself and the U-Men are now his persuers.
BOBBY: “Not about their bogus philosophy. Obviously. But about me. I’m supposed to be an Omega! An elemental god! And yet what am I doing with my life? Where am I when people…where was I when Genosha needed me? It doesn’t matter how powerful I am. I’ll always just be the goofball. No point in fighting it.”
Iceman takes more and more hits, eventually falling over as he runs out of the stamina necessary to make more ice. U-Man #3 proceeds to use the same gas used on Emma on him, reverting him to his normal form, as she and her friends kick him while he’s down.
As Bobby is about to accept his fate…
EMMA: “Don’t you ever say that that there’s no point in fighting to be more than you are. Don’t you ever say to me that one should roll over and accept how others perceive them. I did not come to speak with you today simply because you’re an Omega, or because Scott wanted his “little buddy” back. I came to recruit you because there isn’t a damn X-Man I’d rather have at my side. “Omega” just means limitless potential, and you have far from fully achieved yours, but I have an eye for talent, and I see what you can be. When I was teching Generation X, you were one of the only X-Men who didn’t constantly treat me as a monster. I’ve always appreciated that. And if you’d like to feel guilt over Genosha, jolly, join the damn club. But the fact you blame yourself for not doing more when there was nothing you could do? That’s what we need right now. But only if you have the dedication to back it up.”
Bobby has been getting beaten to a bloody pulp this whole time, but as Emma finishes her speech in his mind, his eyes light up, and then…
*SMASH*
Bobby is smashed into a million little pieces by the U-Men’s kicks. The U-Men freak out. U-Man #3 can’t believe she actually just killed someone…but only because she’s pissed she wasted an Omega.
U-MAN #1: “Oh well. At least we don’t have to worry about him, right?”
The U-Men are then startled as they hear the screams of their comrades from back down the hall.
They rush to investigate what’s going on, only to find the remaining U-Men standing completely still, while both Bobby and a now freed Emma stare them down with confidence.
U-Man #3, now nervous, questions how he’s still alive, and why no one else is moving. Bobby explains that he isn’t just a man of ice. He IS ice. What’s other form ice can take? Water vapor. And after they shattered him, his microscopic particles bypassed their suits’ defeneses.
Iceman knocks on one of the U-Men’s helmets.
ICEMAN: “Your fellow nerds are frozen solid inside their cosplays.”
U-MEN #1: “What?! Wait, why aren’t we frozen yet then?”
EMMA: “So we could hear the terror in your voices first, darling. Ta ta, now.”
With the camera inside their helmets, we see ice coat the U-Men’s skin.
Emma and Bobby exchange cocky smirks.
As the sun sets, Surge and Hellion scream at the top of their lungs as the spheres of their energy around each of them as they throw everything they have at the other, resulting in a beam clash. Here, the two are completely evenly matched.
Cessily is terrified, with Roxy holding her in her arm, Sooraya also appears nervous, and Brian is biting his fingernails.
DANI: “Come on, Kurt.”
Speaking of the devil, Kurt arrives, and he’s not alone.
KARMA: “Holy moly!” Xuan coughs. “I go to visit my little siblings for one day, and you all let THIS happen?”
NORTHSTAR: “Do not even try and blame this on us. Now, come on. Do your thing.”
Xuan takes a breath before her eyes glow purple, and purple blocks surround her head.
JULIAN: “DIE, ASHIDA!”
NORIKO: “YOU FIRST, KELLER!”
The beam clash continues, with each fighter claiming the edge for just a moment before it’s taken by the other. The intensity in the air is palpable.
Which is why Noriko is shocked when Julian flies up and away from her, and turns off most of his power.
NORIKO, turning her powers mostly off: “What the Hell do you think you’re doing? We’re not done yet!”
“JULIAN”: “Surge, this is Karma. I’ve taken control of Julian’s body. Stand down. Now.”
Emotions rapidly pass across Surge’s face as she wants to keep fighting, is pissed she can’t, and is also afraid of how she’s about to get punished.
SURGE, her head held down: “Sorry, Cao Thi Manh.”
As the students all cheer on Karma and how cool possession is as a power, Karma returns to her body, where Kurt and Dani pat her on the back.
At the hospital, SHIELD has arrived to take the frozen U-Men away.
SHIELD AGENT: “You know, a lot of the guys the X-Men hand us end up getting off on a lack of evidence, but you have to be pretty stupid to think you can get away with shooting up a hospital.”
Emma asks Bobby how that felt, with him answering that it felt good doing something like this again. Though, if he’s gonna be doing this regularly, he hopes he can get more challenging opponents.
EMMA: “Does that mean what I think?”
BOBBY: “I guess it does. I’m in.”
EMMA: “Splendid! It’ll be wonderful to finally have an adult on the team other than Scott who doesn’t loathe me.”
BOBBY: “Yeah, about you and Scott…”
EMMA: “Let’s not ruin the moment, shall we?”
BOBBY: “Fine. Let’s talk about something else. You really had nothing to do with organizing this attack?”
Emma cackles.
EMMA: “Robert, I’m Emma Frost. At least one person per week attempts to assassinate me,, unrelated to the X-Men. With my penthouse nearby Warren’s, I was simply planning on waiting for an assailant to come after me, playing helpless, and summoning you then to help you rediscover yourself. The U-Men simply sped things up for me, although them coming here is regrettable. Rest assured, I’ll be covering all of the damages.”
The two walk in awkward silence for a moment.
BOBBY: “Right. By the way, I do care if you live or die. And if your new students are anything like your old ones, I’m sure they do too.”
Emma smiles peacefully at that. She then suggests introducing him to her brother, believing they’ll get along.
Surge and Hellion are back in the medical bay, both heavily injured and bandaged up and, as Beast puts it…
BEAST: “If you’re feeling well enough to try and destroy the school, Mr. Keller, you clearly don’t need the private room anymore.”
Noriko laughs at that, but doing so hurts. As Beast leaves, Dani comes to see the two. Both kids immediately start shouting at her, trying to defend themselves, but Dani tells them to save it. What she saw out there today? She knew her kids were the best, but these two in particular are not normal. The amount of raw power they have at their disposal far exceeds what most X-Men are capable of, and they’re not even done growing.
Julian and Noriko grin.
DANI: “And that’s why your actions today are all the more unacceptable.”
Julian and Noriko’s faces fall.
Dani knows these two have been through so, so much more than they should have, but that’s no excuse to use their powers so recklessly and destrictively. Especially when the two were clearly both fighting over their heads.
If either of them wants to talk about their experiences and what they’re feeling, she’s always here for them. But in the meantime, they both need to learn some responsibility. Julian tries to interrupt and question how it’s fair for him to be punished when Noriko came to his medical room looking for a fight, but she tells him to zip it.
Starting tomorrow, Noriko is going to be spending everyday after class helping Beast, Northstar, and Kitty repair the school and its grounds. And after that, she thinks she saw a “Help Wanted” sign in that new coffee shop in town. She thinks working there will be good for her.
As for Julian, she and Emma will figure something out after he’s recovered. Unfortunately, it seems like today’s little spat will be extending his stay.
Both kids groan at the top of their lungs.
DANI: “Listen, I know you probably hate me right, but, one day, you’ll thank me. I promise.”
Julian and Noriko both roll their eyes at this, as Dani exits the room, with Noriko following behind her, shooting one last dirty glare at Julian.
While Xuan appears to hook her arm around Dani’s…
XUAN, doing her Dani impression: “One day, you’ll thank me.”
DANI: “Be quiet.”
XUAN, laughing: “You sounded just like Magneto!”
Surge meanwhile runs into Sofia and Laura, Sofia seeming to actually be in a better mood.
NORIKO: “The Hell have you two been all day?”
SOFIA: “Well, I did what you said and made a video, but it wasn’t in my heart to practice ballet today, so I asked Laura to do something else with me.”
Sofia pulls out her phone and shows Nori a video of she and Laura doing a TikTok dance. Sofia has her full public persona on display with her plastered smile, while Laura could not look like she wants to be there less.
Laura isn’t as good as Sofia, but she isn’t bad either, which only makes this funnier for Noriko, who belts out laughing, further hurting herself.
Laura snarls.
SOFIA, giggles: “Mending a broken heart will take time. But I think I will be okay.”
Noriko, in between laughing, doesn’t seem happy to hear that.
In the back of a limo, we return to John Sublime. He’s talking to someone on the phone who’s concerned about his operation, but Sublime assures them the chips he implanted in all the U-Men’s brains should have exploded by now. SHIELD won’t be hearing his name from any of their lips.
There’s a pause.
SUBLIME: “Oh, the X-Men? Not to worry. I have a plan for them.”
Sublime hangs up, and we see that Martha is in the limo with him.
SUBLIME: “I’m going to need you to be a very good girl soon, okay Martha? No disappointing your best friend.”
The water in Martha’s tank bubbles.
Sublime smirks as he sips his drink.
SUBLIME: “Good girl.”

i've never seen gintama but I've been watching u reblog it from the sidelines so for the ask meme uhhh gintoki!
jsdhkske im soo sorry u have to put up w my brainrot...
sexuality headcanon: another bisexual! but this is practically canon
otp: gintaka 😑 smth about me i love to see men beating each other up and having emotional turmoils
brotp: yorozuya and the joui 4!! but also his relationship w everyone in kabuki district. honestly this is difficult because gintoki's dynamic w almost every character is great
notp: besides any ship w his kids for obvious reasons, i dont have gintoki ships that make me be the big hater i usually am
first headcanon that pops into my head: more than once he gets gum stuck in his hair and its a mess and he has to let kagura cut it and this ends with him having the worst haircut ever for some weeks
favorite line from this character: theres just so many but i think the one i think more about is "the country? the skies? you can have them. im busy just protecting whats right in front of me. i dont know what'll happen to me in the future but if something has fallen at my feet then the least i can do is pick it up"
one way in which I relate to this character: i have a sweet tooth
thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: this is a trick question because being a gintama character means everything about you gives second hand embarrassment
cinnamon roll or problematic fave?: just some dude fave

hello pearl!! hope you’re doing good and college/uni is going well <3 wanted to ask about your jeyna royal au, would love to hear about it 🫶
hello tharini!!! college is going lovely,, thank u for asking and yes i will gladly speak about my jeyna royalty au!!
my jeyna au is incredibly influenced by reign, the great and merlin lmaooo,, my pinterest board for it is right here
essentially it is an arranged marriage au, where reyna and jason were betrothed to each other as young tweens (12 yrs old), and after reyna's parents die - bellona in the war and julian from grief, and her sister hylla gives up her right to the throne in order to join the avilian army, reyna finds herself the sole heir of avila, and her wedding with jason being closer than ever before. determined to become queen on her own right, she attempts to postpone the wedding and subsequent marriage as long as she can, but she finds herself falling for jason despite her best efforts.
in this au, reyna is asexual like in canon, but bc of the need for a future heir to the throne, she has very.... conflicting feelings about her sexuality and jason's relationship with her. she also has a bit of trauma from the pirates - who in this au were guests at one of her father's banquets. they never did anything to her or hylla physically, but reyna heard how they spoke about the other women in the palace and understandably, she's a bit messed up from it. she doesn't trust easily,,, especially men.
jason really has to work to gain her trust and i cannot wait to explore their relationship more!! i also have plans for adding liper to this au. i already have one scene written and have more that i want to do!
thanks for the question,, apologies for the word vomit,, i am just really into this au especially considering recent... world events lmao. i have learnt a LOT about royalty, especially british royalty these last few days lol
#jeyna royalty au#tharini tag#asks#jason grace#reyna ramirez arellano#reyna avila ramirez arellano#jeyna#tw ptsd mention#tw arranged marriage

Trusting each other.
He has a lot of girls going after him but so do you.

Staring at him thinking how you got so lucky to have him and him doing the same.
Him singing you to sleep while spooning you.
A relationship with Han Seojun = Heaven
I need him in my miserable life like please someone buy me a Seojun.
Defending you when someone badmouths you.
He would beat them up but you told him not to since he might become an idol in the future.
Almost lost it when Sungyong got too close to you, you had to calm him down for a solid hour after that.
Head over heels for each other.
The things he would do for you, ohgod.

To Serve Our King and Queen
Fandom: Game of Thrones Pairing: Daenerys Targeryen x Baratheon!Reader, Sansa Stark x Baratheon!Reader Summary: A story of heart break, love and heart break again. Word Count: 2,407 Request: Hey can u do a Daenerys x Baratheon reader where he is the son of cersei and Robert the true son. He used to be In love with Sansa but she wanted Joffrey so she break his heart. Reader leaves king’s landing with tyrion and meet Daenerys where both fall In love with each other. Later Sansa sees the reader with dany and Jon when they arrive to the north. Sansa is being disrespectful towards dany and reader put Sansa in her place and tells her to not talk to his WIFE like that ever again please. A/n: I changed it a bit, I wish it was a little bitter but oh well.
Cersei and Robert were married before he even became king, Tywin had faith that the Baratheon would overrule the Mad King. It was the start of the downfall of their marriage, the sex was lousy, but it got the lioness pregnant. You were a beautiful babe that Cersei had fallen in love with your looks.
You were a year old when your father overthrows the throne and becomes king of the seven kingdoms. You had a somewhat happy childhood, you were spoilt by your father more than your younger brother - Joffery. Whilst your mother somewhat loved you, you knew that she loved her golden crown children more than you, you had a suspicion about your siblings, they look too much of your uncle Jaime than your father, which was known that Baratheon seed was strong.
So, you were more of a father’s boy than your mother’s. At a young age, you were trained hard, went through advisers and teachers - teaching your expanding knowledge, your father demanded that you were to start off young in training to be king, making sure you know how to fight and be a respected knight just like your father. When you were growing up, you were told tales from your uncle Tyrion, who adored you because he could hold an intellectual conversation with you.
As you grew up, often at times you went with your father to go on hunting, even met with your dad’s best friend and his children. You often had playtime with them, being good friends with Robb and Jon, but you were always wanting to be with Sansa, your father laughs that you would marry Sansa when you two were older - Ned would laugh too.
As years gone past, you tried to ignore your father’s debauchery and your mother’s ever growing hatred towards you. You grew up to be a fine young man, despite being the son of two fucked up people, you were a loved prince - charming, caring and a fighter. You were too familiar with your mother’s manipulation that you were just as smart as her in playing games.
Tywin saw your potential to rule. The people will love you, they already do, because you weren’t fake but you knew when to stand your ground. You weren’t going to be pushed around, you knew your worth to that throne and you will be king whether your mother likes it or not.
You knew what you wanted but sometimes that’s not how it works out.
You wanted Sansa as a bride, when you arrived at Winterfell after so many years later, you saw how beautiful Sansa was. But, you could see how she was ogling on your brother Joffery, you scoffed - he’s not that big of a deal.
“Sansa be wise, pick (Y/n),” Robb says in their little family circle after being dismissed in greeting the king, “Jon and I know him better than you, and he’s a delight.”
“But, he’s not Joffery.”
Arya snorted, “Of course, you would want a little prat than an actual prince.”
“Joffery is a prince,” Sansa argued, “He’s handsome and I love him.”
“You barely know the boy,” Robb says with concern on his voice, “How do you even know if you love him?”
You tried winning Sansa’s heart, but before you left Winterfell, Sansa had pulled you aside, you had a little bit of hope but you had seen how she was all over your brother and was by his side every opportunity she could get.
You got your heartbroken by her, she was honest and you were thankful for that, but it hurt your heart. Sure, the two of you were still young, feelings can change like the wind and nothing is certain in the future.
When you arrived home, you talked to your dad about it and for once, he got serious - talking about that even if you were rejected you should always try to pursue her. He then laughed it off saying Baratheon men don’t have much luck with Stark ladies, but you could see in the pain in his father’s eyes as he remembers Lyanna Stark.
When your father died there were talks about who will inherit the throne, Cersei was quick on her game to get Joffery on the throne, you were livid. There was a screaming match between you and your mother in front of the small council before venomously bidding her hell. It was Varys, who started to tell you to leave because there were talks of your mother that she was going to hire people to kill you.
You couldn’t risk that, so you took a route down to the deepest part of Kings landing, keeping yourself out of sight, picking up a stray sword that caught your eye.
That’s your story really.
Anyone back home would believe that you were killed or dead, and suffered in the rule of Joffery Baratheon. People called your the lost prince of hope, their last strand of hope.
Tyrion did not expect to see you alive and by Daenarys side when he entered Esso, running away with the potential of execution on his head. When he saw you, it had been a few years that had past, you were a lot different.
Your hair was longer, you had grown more muscle mass, must of because you trained with Greyworm. You stood up straighter as if you had a purpose, but you looked happier. What your uncle did not expect was to look at the silver haired woman with such love.
It was a familiar look that he had seen, it was the same look you used to stare at Sansa with. But, to Tyrion’s surprised the look with returned. When you weren’t paying attention or was looking away, Daenerys would give you the same look of love. Tyrion asked Barristan, who laughs and nods.
“Those two? In love like any other teenagers!” He laughs, shaking his head, “They’re betrothed to each other, looking for the perfect time to marry. Daenerys has explicitly said that she wanted no one by her side when she becomes Queen, but learning Ser (Y/n) story, she realised that the two of them have the biggest claim to the throne, rightfully, and on the way, she fell in love with him as did he.”
“Of course,” Tyrion nodded, “I would have liked to see my nephew rule the seven kingdoms, at least he has the birthright unlike Joffery and his siblings.”
“Bastards?” Ser Barristan asked as Tyrion nodded, “Well, that explains the blond hair.”
“I know for the fact that (Y/n) would rule with a good heart, he was trained and he has compassion, he fought any manipulation and lies that were fed to him.”
“Yes,” the knight nods, “I wonder what the people of Westeros would think when they find out a Baratheon could ride a dragon.”
As months past, years past on, Tyrion watched his nephew enjoy his life fighting for what is rightfully his alongside his wife, who loves him as much as he did. There was no one better to rule the Realms other than two great leaders. Tyrion watched how Daenerys freed slaves and took control, Tyrion remembers how you were as a prince.
“Was there someone you loved before me?” Daenerys asked once, it was on the sail back to Westeros, she could see how excited you were to return home.
You looked at her, “I did, once,” You say, remembering how Dany had disclosed her lovers to you before, “She was fiery, but unlikely you who is made of fire and blood, it was her striking red hair - her name was Sansa Stark.”
“Is she-?”
“My uncle has told me before he had fled that she was alive, but I have no idea where she is now or if she is alive. I’m sure she turned to be a fine young lady.”
Dany raised an eyebrow, “Do tell more.”
“Well, as you know I am of Lannister blood.”
“I am aware,” Dany says distastefully, cringing that you were of blood of the man who murdered her father and you were the son of the man who killed her brother.
“She was more in love with my brother, Joffery. Half-brother because I had my suspicion that he wasn’t of Baratheon blood. You could say he’s pure, like you.”
Dany nods, knowing what you mean, after all, she is in a long line of keeping her blood pure as her relatives were all related one way or another. She hates to think the fact if she were to marry her narcissistic brother, Viserys, whilst both of you acknowledge that you two were distantly related - it was a fact that she was willing to ignore.
“He was a cunt,” You laughed whilst your wife giggles next to you in bed, “Spoilt and full of himself, I don’t want to imagine what his rule was like, but stories from my uncle it seems to appear as hell.”
“And she picked him over you?” Daenerys asked, raising an eyebrow, “Well, her loss, I think I have a great man before me. A true king.”
You chuckle, smiling at her lovingly, kissing her forehead, “Shall we sleep, my love?”
“No,” She pouts as you can’t help but find it adorable, “I think you should tell me tales of Westeros, after all, it’s more of your home than it is of mine.”
You weren’t expecting to return to Winterfell, but, it demanded it’s independence, which you thought was outrageous - really. You were reunited with Jon, who greets you with a smile, a joke and good hug - it has been a while since you’ve seen your best friend, glad to see him alive.
You thought that you were going to take over Kings landing, but having to take a detour route to Winterfell to battle in a war of the undead. Although, you get to see your mother before going to the North.
You relish the sight to see her and your uncle Jaime astonished that you were alive and knowing you were going back to claim for the throne. Cersei did not miss how your eyes darken and the glimmer of your sword.
“Mother.”
“Son.”
It was the only interaction you had with her, she refused to come to talk to you, you weren’t surprised - you lacked a mother’s love as you grew up. But, Jaime tried his best to get you to talk to him. You shook off his advances before turning to Jon and Daenerys.
You were surprised to see Sansa, as she was with you. Arya had noticed how she was staring.
“You’re staring, do you have regrets?”
Sansa cleared her throat and stood up straight, “No, he’s just grown.”
“So, have you, perhaps you have a chance at wooing him,” Arya hums looking over to you, talking to Jon with Daenerys by your side, “I can’t deny that he is very handsome.”
You barely got to talk to Sansa when everyone was preparing to war, luckily that your group of people survived the war. But, Missandei was down in the tombs with Sansa and Tyrion where she had heard that Sansa was disrespecting your wife.
Missandei was going to tell her Queen, but rather think other when she sees you walking towards her with a smile - she knew that you were better to handle it. She saw how your jaw locked, no one was going to disrespect your wife.
“Thank you, Missandei, please be with Dany, I’ll sort her out.”
You went to Jon first, who was confused at his cousin after you and Dany told him that he was actually the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna. Jon had his whole heart to support you and Dany’s plan to rule the seven kingdoms, agreeing that despite Winterfell wanting independence, they would struggle.
Sansa was trying to find the right ways to talk to you, perhaps try and mend the relationship. But, when you were looking at her as you stride towards her - she thinks differently.
Tyrion was in the room, trailing behind you as well as Varys. Jon followed closely behind whilst Arya looked confused, looking at her sister.
“How dare you disrespect your Queen!”
No greetings, no smile upon your face, fury on your expression and for once in her life, Sansa no longer recognise the sweet boy from many years ago.
“You should owe her your life after she came to rescue your home! She brought dragons and not once has she spoken about the clear disrespect that you and your people wore. She is not mad like her father at all.”
Tyrion, Varys, Jon and many other people could agree to that, Daenerys was nothing like her father and it was mostly because of you. You were her constant grounding, bringing her to reality and knowing that you will always be by her side.
“She’s not my Queen!” Sansa snaps back, gritting her teeth, “I don’t think she should be if anything if someone was to take the throne it should be you! It’s been rightfully yours since your father died.”
“It is my throne,” You sneered as Sansa stops upon hearing your words, “You’re not only disrespecting your queen, you are disrespecting my wife.”
Wife.
Her hearts shatter, she wonders is that how you felt when she had rejected you. Your eyes were cold, your stance was stiff and the lost Valyrian sword matches it’s current owner - you. It reflected who you were, shiny and attractive, but can cut so deeply - it was hard to recover from it’s inflicted wounds.
“You shall never bad mouth the throne, you hear me?” You pressed on, your tone turning stern that she reluctantly nods, “Don’t test me, Stark.”
With that, you turn on your heel and leave the room, leaving the occupants confused and somewhat terrified.
“Well...” Arya breaks the silence, “Sansa?”
Her heart was broken, she thought this time she could find love. She was never Joffery’s, she refuses to be claimed by Ramsey and she lost Theon. But, she could not let a man ruin her thoughts, putting up a wall as she looks away from where you last were.
“I believe we all have a meeting on how we will accompany our King and Queen to the throne.”
She dreads to see you because she knows when she arrives - you will look at Daenerys with love and it’ll be returned.

Note
Request is about Rakuzan manager, who is a foreigner (from Russia). She is really popular in school, because the Japanese thinks that Russian are very pretty. But she thinks that she has ordinary appearance. Besides she always does her best for the team, tries to be the best manager for them and takes care of them because of her kindness. So Rakuzan boys warm up to her slowly. And Ore-Akashi slowly started coming to his sense (he's Boku-Akashi now), because she reminds him his mother.
Hi hi hi! Even after researching to portray this accurately, I am more vague on the specificality on Russian culture, especially in a Japanese high school setting, in order to make this more relatable and applicable. Still, I took care to implement some core values/general traits you’d see in Russian society // I HOPE I DID THIS JUSTICE;;
[Rakuzan Manager f!Reader Headcanons]
you’ve always been the center of attention ever since you transferred to Rakuzan, a private school with extremely high standards
not to mention, your aura and looks completely encompasses that perfect “high-caliber student” look that every student wants so badly… so effortlessly? a lot of the students instantly took a liking to you just because of your appearances and how easily you stood out against the rest (especially in a collective society like Japan’s, where everyone is highly pressured to blend in)
but coming fresh from Russia, a society that focuses on individualism, you didn’t really see why everyone would suddenly worshipped you just because you expressed yourself freely… even so, in trying to make friends as a rare foreigner, you made sure to be kind to everyone
you made it out of your own way to always help the student council out with menial tasks, even if you weren’t a part of it, or always reached out a helping hand to other teachers, staff, and peers
so that may have shot up your popularity even more
your altruism easily reaches within earshot of Higuchi, the current 3rd-year manager of the Rakuzan’s basketball team, and he immediately soughts after you to invite you to the position of manager alongside him
after all, he’s going to graduate this year, so he wants to ensure that the team would be in good hands for the subsequent years
still, he’s quite nervous about introducing you to his… superiors, mostly because the team leadership has become quite… scary and strict this year
Higuchi brings you along as he slowly approaches Coach Eiji and the Rakuzan captain, who were both discussing about the imminent future of the team’s starting line and debating whether or not to switch around some players
Eiji noticed you first, and after hearing Higuchi’s suggestion, he immediately recognized you from how much the teachers and his coworkers had been praising you; hence, he has no doubt about you or anything… but he turns to Akashi to hear his input
all the while, the captain has been staring silently at you… and assessing you
“What do you think?” Eiji spoke up, glancing down to the 1st year in the corner of his eye.
“...” Akashi continues to sit with his hands clasped in front of his mouth
“It’d be an honor to become a manager for such a capable team!” you say, putting yourself into a deep bow to try to express your sincerity
“W-Wait, (y/n)-san, there’s no need to go to that extreme,” Higuchi says hurriedly, ushering you up
“S-Sorry, but I believe bows are used to express utmost deference and appeal?”
“Ahaha… only a few cases warrant a bow as deep as that.”
“Right, right! Noted…”
Akashi’s eventual sigh interrupted the both of you as he drops his hands into a more relaxed posture
“She’ll be useful. I have heard about her from other students within the student council. Shōta, you will keep her in line, correct?”
“Of course!”
“Then there is no need for this conversation to go any longer if this is settled with no further objections?” he turns to the coach for any further comments
“Yes,” he nods in agreement. “I hope you know this team expects nothing from the best from you, even if you’re only a manager.”
. . .
so here you are, on your first day as a manager alongside Higuchi, being taught the ropes of your duties: noting players’ favorite snacks and food, making sure there’s plenty of water bottles left, changing towels if needed… these honestly felt like normal chores to you, so you didn’t feel overwhelmed at all
“W-W-Whoa!! Our new manager is a girl?—Ow, Reo-nee!”
“Sheesh, show some respect to the manager! Quit looking at her like that!”
“B-But…”
“Hello!” you waved at them, popping up right in front of them, and Hayama quickly jumps to gain some distance for himself out of shock
“The foreign transfer student?!”
“I’m a new manager here, and I hope we get along!”
“Ah…” Mibuchi turns to you with a hand on his chest and a slight bow of his head in acknowledgement. “I must compliment you on your Japanese. You speak as if you’re almost native—in fact, your way of speaking is more elegant than most people here.”
“Thank you!” you beam at him. “Yes…! I’ve worked to at least become fluent for the JLPT N2, so I’m very glad you complimented me so!”
“Reo-nee, you tell me to back off, but you’re being chummy with her right now! Ei-chan, look! Don’t you agree with me?—Wha, where did he go?”
“Who knows?” Mibuchi shrugs indifferently. “But it’s no wonder that it’s been a lot quieter around… by the way (y/n)-chan, are all Russians as striking as you? It makes me a tad bit envious that such beauty is effortless to you.”
“No, no!” you deny with a laugh. “We’re quite ordinary, you see? I think everyone has their own type of beauty to admire and appreciate.”
“Oh! Beautiful words spoken by a beautiful person! Ah… I’ve been called by Higuchi-san. I must part but I hope you’ll allow me to ask you more questions later!”
as you wave off Mibuchi with a smile, Hayama only frowns at you as he crossed his arms, irritated at the fact that you don’t seem too keen on using honorifics for the upperclassmen:
“Look, you might’ve gotten Reo-nee to approve of you, but don’t think the rest of us will be just as accommodating. We’re serious about basketball, so don’t slack off and bring us down.”
but you only turn to him with a smile before giving a slight bow before replying: “I will put 100% of my time and effort, so everyone can do their best on the courts with peace of mind!”
Hayama immediately gets flustered, not expecting such a warm response to his words and he scratches head and replies loudly, “U-Uh… yeah, just, just don’t screw it up for us.”
the first week of being manager was just like what Hayama spoke about: most of the players were wary of you because you were extremely different in how you carried yourself, or curious about you for that same reason… perhaps you were recruited out of pity?
there were a handful of teammates who were brave enough to ask you questions about your culture or personal background
Eikichi, on one hand, asked about your cuisine and whether there were “big guys” like himself that can be a challenge to his strength (you only laugh at him as you easily answer all of his questions)
“I heard the Russian men are unbelievably strong! *flexes his own biceps* Their muscle masses are rumored to be insane!”
“W-Well… it’s different for everyone, but I agree that we’re very strong-natured and have dignity for ourselves.”
“Ohh, (y/n)-chan… that must be why you stand out so much yourself!”
“Mibuchi-kun, you’re very striking yourself, you know…”
and here is Hayama petulantly huffing all the while, doubting you all the while still
“Here you go again, forgetting to add senpai after Ei-chan and Reo-nee!”
“Why should I?” You tilt your head in confusion. “Whether I add such honorifics or not doesn’t change how much I respect them, Hayama-kun.”
“It’s Hayama-senpai to you!”
“If you’re spending this much time fixated on this, then you can spend that much time practicing and showing me the skills to earn the respect you want! Come on! Chop, chop, chop!”
. . .
“Ei-chan! Don’t you get mad when (y/n) doesn’t address you properly?! Reo-nee, what about you?!”
“Huh? I’d never be mad at someone who doesn’t seem to mind me burping at all, and she never scolds me about this stuff like Reo does—”
“Who wouldn’t?! It’s gross, seriously! While I do not understand her tolerance of your vulgar manners, her eloquence and natural aura is equal to those of Sei-chan’s… so in my eyes, I see no need for her to use such honorifics.”
“HUH?! Reo-nee, but why?!”
his opinion of you only gradually changes when you never seem to snap at him back even though he’s being a little shit when you’re around… you remind him of a motherly figure… but a kind, level-headed one, which is slightly different from the naggy mother-hen (but good-intentioned) vibe Mibuchi gives off
besides, anyone with eyes can see how much you scurry around holding handfuls of towels and bottles for all the players, even for the bench players
people think it’s really odd that you’re so physically close to the teammates, especially when you link arm in arm with them or give little distance when you talk with them; as a result, a lot of speculation of “dating” and “relationships” pop up when your name is brought up
the Uncrowned Kings easily squash those rumors… Akashi’s presence alone is also enough to silence them LOL
Mibuchi is the main guy who always likes to link arms as a symbol of your shared friendship
. . .
it’s an odd relationship between you and Mayuzumi… no matter how much you call out to him, he ignores you, and no matter how much he ignores you, you still treat him the same as ever
“Stop pestering me,” Mayuzumi clicks his tongue, blatantly making the effort not to face you properly, and you finally smile, seeing that he finally acknowledged your presence
“Ah, you’re quite the blunt one, aren’t you, Mayuzumi-san?”
“If you get that, then go away.”
“Well, I can’t! You’re part of the lineup, so I am especially not going to neglect you.”
“Are you this mindless to help people like a saint and then expect everyone to adore you? As far as I’m aware, most see you as some ‘exotic’ curiosity and nothing more. And I frankly love myself too much to be associated with such people. If you’re only here out of pity, beat it. Now.”
“Well, it seems like you care enough to tell me that,” you muse, but your face hardens with a serious glint in your eye. “But heed my words when I say this Mayuzumi-san. I am not doing this to be a people-pleaser. I am doing this for myself and only myself. I want to be a good person because it is a decision I make for myself. When there is a choice of being a good person versus bad, I’ll choose to be the best version of myself at any moment. That is my own definition of self-respect. No way in hell I’m doing this because I feel sorry for you… I will complete my duty with my pride as Rakuzan’s manager on the line.”
he’s stunned at your words, and he instantly relaxes his posture before he turns to continue reading his novel on hand… “I see.”
he actually likes the fact that your culture allows people to be more outspoken about their opinions, since he’s all too aware how the majority of his own peers are constantly worried about collective reputation and doing things for the sake of others
Mayuzumi becomes a lot more… cooperative with you from that point on
he relates to your words of having high self-respect and pride, and he’s pleasantly surprised that you actually know how to hold your own ground despite being very kind // even if he finds it weird that being a manager makes you happy… but since it’s something you do for your own sake, he can learn to respect it; after all, he reads light novels for his own happiness
imagine his unadulterated surprise when you not only brought him bottles, snacks, and a towel (that’s the part he expected from you), you slipped in new issues of the latest light novels within the towel bundle (this is what caught him off guard)
you’re suddenly seen in a good light in his eyes
. . .
it’s been almost a month since you’ve been recruited, and most of the teammates have now accepted you as one of their own, more or less, but something bothered you that you couldn’t help but ask Rakuzan’s senior manager
“Higuchi-san, don’t managers need to do some analytic work for the team statistics? It seems that all we do is mundane tasks.”
“Ah, most of the analytic work is done by Akashi.”
“But why? Does he not trust the managers with this work? Does he see us as not capable?”
“Not exactly… he’s very… particular about ensuring the best possible strategies for victory. So far, whatever he’s been doing has earned him complete trust from the entire team and even our coach.”
“Wow… that’s… a really impressive feat for a 1st year…”
“No one’s really surprised though. (y/n)-san you may have just transferred here so you might not know, but he was Teiko’s previous captain and the main public face of the Generation of Miracles…”
after he finished giving a crash-course on their prodigal status in the basketball world, you’re more fired up to work harder for Rakuzan as the manager
“Besides, (y/n)-san, our main duty of being a manager is to maintain the well-being of our team. All these little things add up, and surely, the team knows to appreciate these gestures from us.”
you actually later approach the Uncrowned Kings to playfully complain about why they didn’t tell you how prestigious they truly were on the courts (after learning about their status from Higuchi)
“Huh? (y/n)-nee, now you wanna show respect to your senpais, huh?”
you don’t miss the playfulness in his complaint as he tries to ruffle your hair… and also the way Hayama has recently addressed you differently
“This is different, Hayama! You have such titles under your belts because of your skills and accomplishments on the court… that is extremely admirable!”
“D’awww, it’s nothing, really.”
of course, they all have pride in their titles, but they all immediately turn the direction of the conversation to Akashi, saying they were nothing compared to him
that only made you more curious about the captain
you actually never made conversation with him throughout the month because you were so busy with your duties and helping out everyone… but you finally decided to try to help the captain in any way
Akashi has been observing you for the entirety of your time in the team… that much is to be expected, considering that he needed to evaluate your performance and compatibility with the rest of the teammates to make sure that there is still unity even with the addition of a new person (after all… as much as he doesn’t want to admit, he is still fearful of the possibility of his team crumbling from the inside again)
the fact that you even got Mayuzumi to approve of you in his own way actually impressed him; even he himself had to be authoritative to get Mayuzumi to be cooperative on the team
it’s the little things you do that reminds him of the tickles of nostalgia, when he first played basketball with his late mother, within his mind: the way you were the only one giving positive encouragement to the players in a club filled with cutthroat competition and perfection; the way you made sure that everyone was calm and collected before they walk into the courts; the way you diligently remember and cater every care package and preference to every unique player, in addition to your minimum duties.
he unconsciously mellows out whenever you approach to him to speak, and he only realizes that fact every time you leave the conversation to continue your next to-do on your schedule
“Akashi-san!”
he turns to look at you impassively, but he stands to wait to hear what you have to say
“Can I help you with anything in any way?”
“Are your assigned duties of manager not enough?” he asks, but he continues to give little away from his blank expression
“No, no, that’s not it,” you reply. “I was wondering how I can extend my hand to also help out the captain of the team as well. After all, it’s important for the managers to care for the well-being of every team member… you’re no exception!”
“Do what you think is best to ensure victory,” was all he said before he left
you’re now confused… did he mean for you to keep up your work as normal? did he trust you enough to let you decide what to do on your own? his vague words certainly threw you in for a loop
still, the Rakuzan teammates were able to breathe easier whenever you were in the same room as Akashi, because there’s always a gentler aura around him when you’re near the vicinity
sometimes his Orekashi side slips out, whether he gives an open compliment to a good play (albeit, delivered in a calm, spartan way) or when he gives an occasional perfect-rhythmed pass that leaves his teammates in a stupor
Akashi’s mannerisms towards you as the manager is as subtle as a speck of dust, but he’s grown a quiet sense of respect for you and the atmosphere you’ve brought to the team
however, it will only be at the final game where his Orekashi side will fully reawaken again
if any student dares to approach you with insensitive questions and comments about your race and culture with stereotypes, they should be expecting all hell breaking loose from the basketball team in 3… 2… 1…

Say My Name and I’ll Be There: 5.1
Author’s Note: How’s everyone liking the story so far? Kinda getting into my head about how stiff the writing is. Maybe it just feels stiff to me, idk. Anyways, here’s an early chapter!
"So, why are your eyes different colors?" Childe caught you alone while you gathered firewood a few yards away from the camp. The sun had long set, leaving you to rely on a lantern and the dim light of the distant fire. He was limping from your sparring session earlier.
You had beat him.
And man, did it feel good.
"We crossed paths with a merchant that was traveling from Fontaine. He said they're 'contacts.' Basically little objects a person can put across their pupils and change their color," you repeated the rehearsed words a little too perfectly for Childe to believe.
"Oh? I've never heard of that invention before," he tested.
"I guess it's new? Like the kamera devices they recently developed? Aether has one of those." You watched as he kept his hands idle at his sides.
"Interesting. And Aether was the one who told you to say this to me?" He blocked your path to the fire by placing a hand against the tree that stood behind you. What a terrible liar you make, ojou-chan. His friendly smile never left his lips, but it never reached his eyes. They were cold and demeaning as they examined yours.
"I-I," you stumbled over your words. "Why are you acting so weird, Childe?" You tried to laugh him off and attempted to duck under his arm. What to say, what to say! Oh, maybe this'll work? "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're acting like a schoolboy crushing on one of his friends."
It might have been a wrong move.
He pinned your shoulders to the tree and made sure no one had their eyes on the two of you. "On the contrary, you began acting strangely the minute I found you today." Something in his gaze faltered as he replayed your words in his head. Perhaps I am acting like a schoolboy. But I can't help it if I'm infatuated with my target. His eyes fell to the shimmering necklace resting against your collarbone, and he gently touched it. "This is new."
"Don't touch that," you slapped his hand away.
"I don't recall you wearing such a genuine cor lapis charm before. Where'd you get this from?"
"It was my Granny's."
Childe scrunched his nose at the answer, a brief look of internal conflict passing over his face like a cloud. 'Was?' The woman passed? I made sure she wouldn't get hurt by my men. So then how did she-- He wanted to ask until the realization struck him. They went to Quince Village after my leaving. She saw the Fatui there--
You were too enraged to notice him visually fight himself and approached the campsite with an armful of branches. You made a point to sit next to Xiao and glared at the Harbinger as he returned.
He maintained eye contact with you, even after sitting across the fire from you and the yaksha. Your pupils seemed to glow from his perspective. The fire licked the air in between you until all he could make out was the anger in your eyes. She knows. He mentally kicked himself, but only partially because of the possible complications this could pose for Signora and her grand plan. If you were this angry, there was a chance you had told the yaksha. And if the yaksha saw the Fatui, or at least heard of what you thought happened, then there's a chance he told Mr. Zhongli. While he could not break the contract with the Tsaritsa, he'd find a way around the stated rules. He made a fool of Childe once; he could do it again.
Childe didn't care in the slightest about fighting the entire group--though he was a bit afraid of facing the yaksha despite his urge to fight every living thing on Teyvat. The only thing that mattered to him was you. And if you were angry enough to fight, vision or not, he'd have to take you by force. You may hold a special place in his heart, but his feelings for you meant nothing compared to his loyalty for the Tsaritsa.
One chance, the harbinger strengthened his resolve. I'll give her one chance to prove herself. If she fails, I won't hesitate to take that which will secure Snezhnaya's future.
...................................................................
Several days passed by without incident--
--Is what I'd like to say, but unfortunately, that didn't hold true for you.
Childe and his unrelenting pleas for battles continued to reach your ears day in and day out. He was the one that was attached to your hip, not Xiao. You had only realized today that Childe was around you more often than the yaksha ever since he greeted you with a jumpscare at Luhua Pool. To make matters worse, Xiao neglected to make a move towards him.
She can handle herself, he thought after witnessing the stunts you pulled on Childe. Xiao recognized that the movements you were using as his own; perhaps there was an upside to you unconsciously peeking in on his memories. He put himself on standby when he came to the realization. But make no mistake, he would and will protect you if things got out of hand with the harbinger. He just figured he'd take a step back and quietly observe his weak points, just like the old days. The days in which Childe did not pose a serious threat to the group; when all that was between you and the harbinger was harmless bickering.
It would seem like those old days were still fresh to an outsider, but as the days passed by, you were growing increasingly frustrated with Childe's behavior. After all, how could he continue to play the part of an oblivious comrade, when it was clear as day that the tensions within the group were growing? How could he even call you a comrade with a straight face? How was it that he felt no remorse for his actions toward Granny when he looked you in the eye?
How was it that he could be so carefree?
Maybe part of you envied him for it. Your inner grumblings did you no favor in the present moment though; the team had stepped into the western side of Dragonspine. Your four coats made almost no difference against the sheer cold, and your body shivered uncontrollably even though warmer weather was only a hundred yards behind you.
Everyone except Xiao and Aether wore warm clothes, and it looked like the poor outlander regretted his decision to forego the garments. Xiao appeared to be unbothered and more energetic than usual. Childe looked like he was right at home with the weather, his shirt still sloppily unbuttoned to reveal his toned body underneath. Bennet walked alongside you and was replacing Zhongli for the time being.
Snowflakes lazily floated their way down to earth, but they did nothing to grab your attention when the wind continued to howl against the team's direction. You caught Xiao letting snow collect in his hand with an almost childlike wonder, but he glared at you when he found you staring.
"I want to find some dragon teeth for a sword and since you haven't been here before I thought it'd be a good idea to show you around," Aether called out to you over his shoulder, his arms crossing over his bare stomach for an ounce of warmth.
"You're insane!"
Aether's laugh mixed with the clattering of his teeth. "You only live once, right?" You removed two of your coats and threw them over his head. "T-t-thanks."
You rolled your eyes despite the fact that you were smiling at him, only for your gaze to lock with Xiao's look of disapproval. 'Mortals are fragile,' you interpreted his frown and giggled.
"Here we go!" Bennet lit the firepit with his flaming sword and knelt down in front of it. Everyone joined him; Aether was especially close to the flames.
"It's kind of annoying to find fire every five minutes," you shivered violently. "And you practically go up here for fun?"
"It gets easier the more we do it," Paimon giggled with a nervous smile. "Besides, we get to mine starsilver and find cool dragon stuff that we can sell--"
"Don't lump me in with you," Aether piped up without moving away from the fire.
The distant sound of a conversation was carried over by a bone-chilling breeze. "Huh? Should we go check it out?" Paimon stared in the direction the vague voices were coming from.
"U-uh-huh," nodded Aether.
The group stumbled over a hill only to find the body cavity of Durin. While it threw you off, the sight around the remains was what chilled you to the bone. Of course there's Fatui here, you scoffed.
"I see a tooth over there too," Aether whined.
"What's everyone looking at me for?" Childe let out a nervous chuckle and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "These aren't my guys."
"We know," Paimon cooed.
"That's why we want you to go talk to them and let us pass," Aether held the smuggest expression you've ever seen him pull off.
"Uh...I'm not under any jurisdiction to--"
"Do it," you ordered with cold eyes. When he locked eyes with you, you stood on your tip-toes and spoke in his ear. "Prove your loyalty to the group."
"My loyalty, ojou-chan," his eyes narrowed significantly, "lies with Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa."
"Uh-oh," Paimon poofed out of existence.
"Uh, guys? Those Fatui agents are approaching us reeeaal fast," Bennett warned.
The two of you broke eye contact to find that he was right. One electro and two geo skirmishers were walking towards the group. Poofing would be a more accurate description. Childe gave you a final look before he hopped over a log to greet them.
"Greetings!" He didn't smile, and the skirmishers stopped in their tracks.
"Master Childe? We didn't realize you'd be joining us on the mountain." The three of them knelt out of respect.
"It's a surprise visit, really. I came to check on your progress--" The group made their way around the Fatui and Aether yanked the large tooth out of the ground while Childe chattered away with his subordinates.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep. 6 Takeaway
First let me say that I really truly enjoyed this show. I was so nervous at the beginning and I was so nervous for the end, and though there are things that I didn’t like (as to be expected with pretty much any media) my overall excitement was rewarded. I definitely give the show an A and can only hope that we keep getting things like this and WandaVision with their next shows.
Anyway.
Sam and Bucky (and Sharon) coordinating from their different spots. I always like seeing the tactical side of working together in addition to the badass fighting together stuff.
The officer not questioning Bucky’s presence and calling him Sargent Barnes made me SO happy.
The facial mask thing-y that Natasha had in Cap 2 making a reappearance. Idk why I like that but it’s nice to know that these things are still being utilized.
CAPTAIN AMERICA’S FIRST ENTRANCE!!!! my GOD did Sam ROCK that!!! Fucking AH-MAY-ZING.
Sam’s new costume is perfect like the comics!! It’s so often changed that it’s so great to see it on screen!
“I’m sorry, wait. Who are you?” “I’m Captain America.” The parallel between this is Steve’s “Um...Captain America.” in the First Avenger.
The subtitles saying “Captain America” now whenever Sam in uniform talks.
Bucky trying to talk Karli down, approaching from a different angle than Sam because it’s what he knows and honestly does want to stop her without it coming to a fight. Especially when he realizes it’s a trap and is all “oh fuck me” and needs to haul ass lol. That is Bucky Barnes to a T.
“Seriously, Bucky, you had one job.” Omg, Sharon. lmao
Sam’s fight with Batroc was so cool. No serum. Just straight up ass kicking plus the au revoir at the end. Yes please and thank you.
Redwing!!!! Yaaaay!!!! (”a little birdie told me” lmao, Sam.)
Seeing the Vibranium wings in ACTION. Bouncing a freaking helicopter off them! FUCK!!!!! SO COOL!!!
I can watch Bucky Barnes throwing himself off a motorcycle all day long.
Bucky stopping his fight to save everyone.
John Walker and his stupid Walmart Shield arriving just in time to add fire to fire. Thanks, bro.
Bucky specifically being thanked for rescuing them. He’s spent so much time with so much guilt that having just one person say “thank you for rescuing us” actually made him pause. He’s spent so much time as the “villain” that he’s forgotten he can be the hero and it’s so good to see that finally hit him.
The metal arm scraping across the ground. Good god.
Sam popping out of the water and “Boy, you earned this ass whooping!”
That helicopter scene holy SHIT is Sam amazing.
And some applause for Ayla, too!!!!
John Walker ultimately choosing to save people instead of going on with his vendetta. Very comic book in character.
Bucky watching in horror as the van is slowly going over the edge and then smiling in wonder and awe as Captain America saves them all.
“That’s the Black Falcon there! I tell you!” “Nah. That’s Captain America!” Tears. Actual tears. SO MANY TEARS. Sam Wilson IS CAPTAIN AMERICA, baby!!!
Uh, yeah, so Bucky stopping weapons mid-air is one of my favorite things ever.
Okay, Batroc, go the fuck away now, we’re done with you.
I do like that when push comes to shove, the mission outweighed their personal grudges and Sam and Bucky “teamed up” with Walker. Not that it was 100% trust on their side. I think Bucky followed Walker bc “eeeeh....can we really trust him?” and since he has no doubt Sam can handle himself, but also, we’re fighting the same thing right as of this moment so lets just keep our heads and do it.
I am absolutely not thrilled with the direction they took Sharon. Like. Not at all. I’m...reserving full judgement for what I’m assuming will come in the future but like. No. Nuh-ah. Not happy with it.
Sam trying so hard to help Karli. The fact that he legit refused to fight her and she tried so hard to get him to fight back and he just wouldn’t. So beautiful and poignant. Sam’s fighting style. Sam perseverance. Just. Everything about that.
As good as the scene was (and I think it was great. The set up. How it all went down. The raw emotion) I’m kinda bummed they killed Karli. I was hoping Sam could at least talk her down first. However, the emotion and symbolism of her dying in his arms, and whispering “i’m sorry” was so heartbreaking.
The way Bucky and Walker got the rest of the Flag Smashers was hilarious.
Sam carrying Karli’s body cradled in his arms and flying down with her like a literal angel? I mean. Just rip my heart out.
“You have to stop calling them terrorists.” and “Your peacekeeping troops carrying weapons are forcing millions of people into settlements around the world, right? What do you think those people call you.” These first few lines of Sam’s speech. God, thank you.
Sam’s Captain America Speech. No fuck’s given. I’m so glad they didn’t hold back and just let him really give that powerful speech. Unabashedly saying “I’m a Black man carrying the stars and stripes. What don’t I get?”. Admitting the weight that comes with it and the judgement he feels. Not backing down. Telling the world he is Captain America “no super serum, no blond hair or blue eyes”. Defending Karli and trying to get them to understand what she was trying to do and why she was trying to do it. Sam was 100% born to be Captain America.
Everyone watching Captain America’s speech. Bucky. Walker. Isaiah and Eli. Joaquin. Sarah. The world. Beautiful watching Captain America deliver his first speech.
“Sorry I was texting so all I heard was Black guy in stars and stripes...nice job, Cap.” That back clap Bucky gives Sam there? ((#boyfriends))
“Can you help?” “Always.”
Very happy that Zemo had another villain move up his sleeve. Didn’t really dig the whole “i’m so graceful feel sorry for me” thing.
John Walker becoming US Agent.
Oh and, excuse me while I geek out over Valentina, Walker, Zemo...@marvel, I see where this might be headed. Please don’t let me down!
Bucky making his amends with Nakajima. The overwhelming emotions. The fear of admitting it. I kinda wish we saw a little more but I’m also okay with the ambiguity of it and knowing that Bucky knows that he at least gave him closure and is coming to accept that his role as the winter soldier was not his fault.
Also liked Bucky giving the book to his therapist. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I take no issues with her and I do think that Bucky felt she helped him.
Eli Bradley is fucking adorable.
Sam’s conversation with Isaiah. All that hope he represents while not erasing the pain that Isiah and generations before them suffered. Still wanting to fight for what’s right just because it’s the right thing to do. Isaiah not condemning Sam’s choice. Beautiful and poignant.
Um. The museum scene? Yeah, I had to pause for a good ten minutes before I could actually continue with the show. Isaiah Bradley and all his men deserved that ((and so much more)) for so long. The catharsis so visible when Isaiah hugs Sam so tight. The zoom in on the statue. Okay, I’m crying again.
Yeah, so when Bucky’s boyfriend has a BBQ he shows up like dancing like a dork with a cake and plays with all the kids.
Honestly, happiness looks so good on him. It’s so nice to see that again.
They really ended it with Sam and Bucky embracing and walking off together in the sunset.
CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE WINTER SOLDIER
Again, still not thrilled with what’s going on with Sharon but clearly they’re setting up for something so...I’m putting a bookmark in to hold my judgement.
Bc honestly, my biggest focus is:
CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE WINTER SOLDIER
CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE WINTER SOLDIER
CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE WINTER SOLDIER
CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE WINTER SOLDIER
Seriously though, overall, I think this was one of the best things Marvel has put out there in a while and I know I’ll come back to it again and again. Here’s hoping to more Cap to come!!!!

HAPPY ACOSF RELEASE DAY!
(ACOSF SPOILERS AHEAD) ARE YOU EXCITED?
I personally am. It’s time for Nesta’s story (and not just hers) to be told. So, this leads to another thing I think (and hope) you’ve been waiting for.
LET’S EXPLAIN THE PLAYLIST! (Read every song’s meaning while or after reading the book) And thank you for all your love and support.
“Alone” by Melancholia: It describes the Cauldron scene at the beginning of the book. In this song you can feel the rage and how hard she’s struggling. This song is not about weakness. It’s about her strength.
“Impossible” by James Arthur: Chapter 1. Even if it’s not so clear in this chapter, I think this song represents how Cassian feels when Nesta’s around. He feels worthless and not so different from the other men she beds (as he thought in ACOFAS). He lost his hope of an happy future with the woman he loves and he feels like he’s breaking that last promise she made her. Everything just seems so impossible.
“Sister” by The Black Keys: Chapter 2. This just makes me think of Feyre and Nesta’s fight. It’s from Feyre’s pov.
“New House” by Toro y Moi: “I want a brand new house Something I can not buy, something I can afford I just want a long shower I been feeling so crowded” Chapter 3. It’s about Nesta settling down in the House of Wind. It’s not the place she feels she can call “home”. First of all, it’s not really hers. The last two sentences of this verse are about her breathing and trying to calm herself at the end of the chapter. She’s just tired.
“My Mother & I” by Lucy Dacus: Chapter 4. The whole song is about Nesta and the relationship with her mother when she was a child. I think there’s nothing else to say. Also, in the 1st Chapter it says that she’s born in spring, so the song talks about a girl who was born in May. It all fits.
“Teacher’s Pet” by Melanie Martinez”: “Teacher’s pet If I’m so special, why am I secret? Yeah, why the fuck is that? Do you regret The things we shared that I’ll never forget? Well, do you? Tell me that I know I’m young, but my mind is well beyond my years I knew this wouldn’t last, but fuck you, don’t you leave me here” Chapter 5 and 6. Nesta and Cassian’s first day of training together. She basically doesn’t want to act like she’s his pet and she’s got to do whatever he want just to respect her sister’s will.
“Dangerous Man” by Valley Of Wolves: “They say I’m a wanted man Holding line and break the fire I’m setting all the captives free But I’m hanging by a wire” Chapter 7. It’s about Eris and his double-cross. That’s how probably Cassian pictures Eris in his mind tbh.
“Control” by Halsey: Chapter 8. Nesta facing the stairs. It can be linked to other chapters too because if you take this song as a whole and not just a few verses, it really contains A LOT of things. For example, the line “The House was awake”. Also Chapter 9, when people start calling their children. You can find this moment in the song when it says “All the kids cried out ‘please stop, you’re scaring me”.
“Bookstore Girl” by Charlie Burg: Chapter 9. The bookstore girl is Gwyn and Nesta tries to know more about her.
“Wrong Direction” by Hailee Steinfeld: “I don’t hate you” Chapter 12. This song is about the chapter’s ending.
“You’ve Got a Friend In Me” by Cavetown: Chapter 13. Nesta and Gwyn’s interaction. Also, Nesta helping her.
“like that” by Bea Miller: Chapter 16. Nesta and Cassian’s tension is hilarious, but this song makes me thing about this scene so much.
“Queen” by Shawn Mendes: Chapter 17. Elain fighting with Nesta. This lyrics is so powerful. The first part is Elain talking to Nesta. The second part is Nesta talking to Elain.
“You’ll Follow Me Down” by Skunk Anansie: Chapter 17. Same scene. This is totally Nesta. She’s so scared of herself and of the world that surrounds her. She’s afraid to lose her sister in this world she still knows nothing about if not violence. She wants Elain by her side, even if it means dragging her down with her.
“Teeth” by 5 Seconds of Summer: Chapters 18/19. I like to call it “THE chapter”. Do you need me to explain why I chose this song? Um, I don’t think so. You know it.
“Only You” by Ellie Goulding: “Baby I’m on my knees” Chapter 22. He’s... returning the favor.
“Revolution” by Diplo, Faustix, Imanos, Kai: Chapter 24. Our girl Nesta knows what she’s doing. What she’s starting.
“Best Friend for Hire” by Anthony Amorim: Chapter 25. The whole song is about Nesta and Emerie’s interaction. Everytime I listen to it I can’t help but cry.
“Moment’s Silence (Common Tongue)” by Hozier: Chapter 26. Nesta’s worried about Cassian and gives him relief.
“Rise Up” by Andra Day: Chapters 27/28. These three girls are going to rise up, bitches.
“Nina Cried Power” by Hozier, Mavie Staples: Chapter 29. This song is really powerful, just like Nesta. She always is, but in this chapter we learn HOW MUCH.
“Fix Me Now” by Garbage: “Bring me back to life (fix me now) Kiss me blind” Chapter 31. THAT scene. HE HEATED UP THE WHOLE ROOM Y’ALL. Cassian literally kissed her back to life.
“Ready or Not” by Fugees: Chapters 34/35/36. I can’t choose only one quote from this song. But can you hear its vibes? Nesta’s leading a dead army. This is THE power.
“PILLOWTALK” by ZAYN: Chapter 37. *wink* This song says everything.
“Go Fuck Yourself” by Two Feet: Always chapter 37. I couldn’t choose just one song, you know. Also, lowkey Chapter 38.
“Never Again” by Breaking Benjamin: “Never again, never again Time will ot take the life from me” Chapter 38′s ending. All I can say is: NEVER AGAIN.
“Boy In The Bubble” by Alec Benjamin: Not linked to just one chapter. It makes me thing of Azriel a lot.
“Past Lives” by BØRNS: “I've got the strangest feeling This isn't our first time around Past lives couldn't ever come between us Some time the dreamers finally wake up Don't wake me I'm not dreaming“ Chapter 39. Gwyn and Azriel. Well, these lines are about them, but I think the rest of the song represents Elain and Azriel, too. I don’t know if you feel the same.
“Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day: THIS IS AZRIEL’S SONG. YOU CAN’T TELL ME OTHERWISE.
“Watch Me While I Bloom” by Hayley Williams: Chapter 41. Nesta teaching Cassian how to treat a woman. She’s got big dick energy ayeee
“R U Mine?” by Arctic Monkeys: Still chapter 41. Cassian taking control of the situation. This song just screams “dominant” lmao.
“Walls Could Talk” by Halsey: So Halsey once said “The House was awake” (Control). What if those Walls Could Talk? Like, poor thing. It could have a mental breakdown. This song is dedicated to the House of Wind ‘cause it needs respect. It’s alive. Just imagine how’d you feel watching non-stop those two fucking and fighting. Also Azriel, you’re loved.
“Despicable” by grandson: “If I were you I wouldn’t love me neither” Chapter 43. Tamlin deserves a song, too.
“Part Of Me” by Katy Perry: Chapters 45/46. It’s all SO chaotic. This song means a lot of things. They all lied to her, but this song is particularly about Nesta and Amren’s fight. In my opinion, she did the right think telling Feyre the truth ‘cause she deserved to know, but it just wasn’t the right time and space.
“Don’t Give Up On Me” by Andy Grammer: Chapter 47. Cassian’s going to take care of Nesta. She made a mistake but she knows here better than anyone. He won’t give up on her.
“There You Are” by ZAYN: Chapter 50. Cassian comforts Nesta when she finally explodes. He’s there for her with open arms.
“You Found Me” by The Fray: Still Chapter 50. This chapter was so hard to read and this is another song that can describe it best.
“Locked Out Of Heaven” by Bruno Mars: Chapter 51. Illyrian bat boys just love flat objects. I see.
“Thin White Lies” by 5 Seconds of Summer: Chapter 51. Yeah, still thinking about that desk.
“Chosen Family” by Rina Sawayama: Still Chapter 51. This song is wholly dedicated to Nesta’s new found family. Not only Gwyn and Emerie, but also Cassian.
“Library Magic” by The Head And The Heart: Chapter 52. Listen to this song and read the scene at the beginning of the chapter.
“Battle Cry” by Imagine Dragons: Chapter 54. I know it’s weird but I feel this song talks about Lanthys and Nesta’s fight.
“Hurt” by Christina Aguilera: Chapter 55. Nesta takes Cassian to the place she lived with her family in the mortal lands. It’s dirty and broken now but it’s still there. Nes talks about her father and realizes how much he’s done for her and her sisters.
“Story Of Another Us” by 5 Seconds of Summer: Chapter 56. I know this sounds like a sad song but to me it represents Gwyn’s present. The story of their past (of another “them”) and also their present.
“Drama Club” by Melanie Martinez: Chapter 57. Eris vibes, y’all. I know you can feel them. Everytime I listen to this song I can’t help but thinking of him. So the only thing I can tell you is: listen carefully.
“Genius” by Sia, Diplo, Labrinth: Chapter 57. Hear this song. It just makes me think of a ballroom where two people try to talk to other people and they’re avoiding to make eye contact. And they fail (yeah, those people are Cassian and Nesta btw)
“Therefore I Am” by Billie Eilish: Chapter 57. Still about Eris, but also Cassian. They can’t stand each other. So imagine the astronomical energy (inside of this bus lmfao) when Nesta comes in between.
“All About Us” by He Is We, Owl City: Chapter 57. Nessian dancing.
“Rock Bottom” by Hailee Steinfeld ft. DNCE: Chapter 58. This song is SO accurate. This is the moment I realized “That’s it. I think I can die happy now” and then I started crying. Nesta just thinking she’s not enough and she deserves to be with someone as ugly as she thinks she is. Cassian is like “shut the hell up, woman” and yeah. That’s the kind of energy and conversation I was waiting for.
“Stop Crying Your Heart Out” by Oasis: Chapter 58. Their life becomes brighter. They have to stop crying their heart out because of their fears and the emotions they keep trying to hide. They need to feel free and express all the love they can give to each other.
“Fade Into You” by Nashville Cast, Sam Palladio, Clare Bowen: Chapter 58. Finally the truth comes out and everything becomes real. Even if the song is pretty sad, the lyrics is just SO accurate and it describes the scene perfectly.
“I Miss You” by Adele: Chapter 59. Basically Nesta feeling needy ‘cause she doesn’t see Cassian for days, but it’s more than that. Pay attention to the depth of the song. It shakes you. And that’s what Nesta feels when she thinks of Nesta.
“Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera: Chapter 59/61. I want to dedicate it to my favorite girls in this book: Nesta, Emerie and Gwyn. They’ve been through a lot but they also learnt to face their fears. And they realized that unity is strength.
“Smile” by Uncle Kracker: Chapter 62. Cassian’s sooo happy to be with Nesta it breaks my heart. And his own too.
“Broken Pieces” by 5 Seconds of Summer: Chapter 62. Aaand here we go again. Cassian just wants Nesta to give him the chance to be happy with her.
“Carried Away” by H.E.R.: Chapter 62. Nesta thinks they got too carried away and now they’re at a point of no return. She opened herself to him too much. It’s not like she regrets this but she understands that now everything’s too real and changing. She doesn’t feel ready.
"What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes: Ending of Chapter 63. Okay, I’ll make you laugh but this is me after reading it. I needed to put a song about how I felt when I read this freaking ending, after all the devastation Chapter 62 brought into my heart. And the fact that Nesta’s 25 and the first line begins with “25 years”... I DIED. Also I think of her just screaming to the word “WHAT’S GOING ON?!”.
“Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” by Eurythmics ft. Aretha Franklin: Chapters 64/65/66. DO I NEED TO DESCRIBE IT? NAH, I DON’T THINK SO. THESE GIRLS ARE POWERFUL, STRONG AND SMART AS HELL.
“Run The World (Girls)” by Beyoncé Chapters 67/68/69/70. The girls want to win and they’re going to conquer everything with no mercy.
“Puppets” by Depeche Mode: Chapter 71. Eris impotence t is heartbreaking.
“Warriors” by Imagine Dragons: This song is for every character. It’s about Nesta, Emerie and Gwyn, but also Cassian, Azriel and Eris. They’re fighting different battles and they’re doing it with every ounce of power they have.
“Emperor’s New Clothes” by Panic! At The Disco: Chapter 74. Nesta kicking Briallyn’s ass.
“Survivor” by Destiny’s Child: This song is dedicated to Emerie and Gwyn. They spent all their lives learning how to survive. At the end, they finally won.
“Set Fire to the Rain” by Adele: THE Nessian Anthem. I put this here ‘cause FINALLY they’re endgame. But something bad’s about to happen...
“Cancer” by My Chemical Romance: Chapter 76. This chapter’s been the hardest one to face. I had to put the book down for a minute and breathe. I know this song made you panic and ow you know why I chose it. I can’t stop crying thinking about Feyre in those conditions and all the IC and her sisters surrounding her. I’m still so heartbroken.
“You Saved Me” by Skunk Anansie: Chapter 77. Nesta cares about Feyre. She’s her little sister and she just can’t let her die like that. She gave her a happy ending even if Nes had to lose almost every ounce of power she had and learned to accept. But they’re worthless in comparison with her sisters life. She just loves them both. She’d do anything for them and this scene proves it.
“Lean on Me” by Bill Withers: This song is about friendship and sisterhood. Nesta’s relationship with Gwyn and Emerie, but also with Feyre and Elain (and lowkey Rhys). Also, I dedicate it to little Nyx, too. They all love you, babyboy, and would do anything for you. Welcome to this chaotic world, kid!
“Sorry” by Halsey: Chapter 78. These are not explicit apologies. Nesta doesn’t need to say “sorry” vocally. She already demonstrated it. Her actions speak louder than words and her sister know it. This song is not about a “romantic lover” but a “person who loves” and they all love too much and strongly.
“Amazing” by Aerosmith: WE FINALLY SEE THE LIGHT. This is the happy ending they deserve (but the cliffhanger is killing me tbh). It’s about everyone in this book. I put it in the playlist ‘cause at first I thought it could refer to Azriel and Cassian. But the more i listened to it, the more I realized it just describes every single character.
“The Reason” by Hoobastank↓
“this is me trying” by Taylor Swift: Both the songs refer to Chapter 80. Nesta visiting her father’s grave is one of the first steps to finally go on. The songs represent what she really wants to tell her father. He’s the reason to start over. And she’s trying. Even if she made mistakes she’s ready to fight for the happiness and love she denied herself years and now she knows she deserves it.
