#tts the dark queen

[mrfandomwars]

Random Lists of TTS headcanons (mostly about Quirin and the Dark Kingdom) that I have:

Quirin became a Brotherhood member when he had a 'Home Alone' moment with Edmund and his wife because he thought they thieves (they broke in because it was raining HORRIBLY)

Quirin was in charge of the Brotherhood, in the sense that although Edmund as the King was in charge, Quirin was the one dealing with the group as a whole

There were more Brotherhood members, but they either retired, died or are simply lost in the world after the fall of the Dark Kingdom

The Brotherhood members had noble titles and pieces of land, Quirin had a BIG farming land (as the head in charge) and he used to help around before the Kingdom Fell. He used a few techniques he learned later on when he became a full time farmer (not all because different crops and different types of land)

You can find small communities from the Dark Kingdom moving around still, looking for some place to settle (and they eagerly go back to the Kingdom when Edmund starts rebuilding it)

The DK and Corona used to have a little bit of Beef because sun vs moon, that's why Quirin settling (probably with other people, lbh) there with the piece of the scroll was a good move

Corona was funded or helped fund by Demanitus

Demanitus is originally from the Dark Kingdom

Quirin was in the process of retiring when the Dark Kingdom fell

The Brotherhood all have specific face tattoos, but by the time Eugene was born they were only mandatory to use during events and things like that, hence why Quirin didn't have one, though if you wanted a permanent tattoo you could have it (hence Adira and Hector)

OR all the tattoos are temporary, Adira and Hector just have been reapplying theirs

The Great Tree used to be the border for the Dark Kingdom, hence why Hector set up shop in it

the Queen Ghost we saw was the one who helped fight against Zhan Tiri the first time around

Edmund (or at least, the Monarch that came before him) was the one who gave the Mind Trap to the Keeper, since he didn't have Any itent to use it

The place where the Mind Trap was was very Hush Hush, Cassandra only found out thanks to Zhan Tiri finding it out herself, BUT the existence of the Mind Trap was at least well known in the DK and was one of the 'cons' to joining the Brotherhood

The Mind Trap was originally meant to make sure that the Brotherhood wouldn't turn against the crown, the moonstone And to make sure that if a fight every happened, they would act in harmony. It's a 'made with good itentions, Very Bad Execution type of thing'

Eugene didn't reject his royal title from the DK, but he won't be it's King Outside of possibly becoming a temporary one until one of his and Rapunzel's kids are old enough to take over

To try and fix the plothole in season 3: people Forgot that Quirin was a Brotherhood member AND they had contacted (or at least TRIED TO) Adira and Hector at some point and they thought they weren't under Cassandra's control

Eugene grew a couple of inches between the movie and the series and that was because the two times he was healed by Rapunzel, he was healed

People either think that Cassandra was dead OR Cassandra was actually banned from Corona (and the Dark Kingdom) - she isn't getting away without consequences people

Varian had a therapist while in prison that he was forced to see, wether or not they worked or if they were a Saporian spy I haven't decided yet

The ACTUAL reason why the resistence against the Saporian was so small wasn't because of 'loyalty to the crown', it was because they had tried and it Blew on their faces and thus King Frederik and Queen Arianna aren't the only victims of memory wipe. Rapunzel doesn't know this because, well, would you admit to the rebellion to the crown?

Eugene and Lance, later on, are volunteers on Orphanages in Corona and Eugene got a LOT of funds given to them and goes to personally check to see if they are being used properly and that the kids are being taken care of well

the DK fondly call Eugene the 'fail prince' not because of anything he did but because his fighting skills are far below what the royal standard was.

I said this before but: The Queen of the Dark Kingdom trid to destroy the Moonstone, possibly because she was plagued by nightmares of what would happen in the future/of the stone hurting the Kingdom and her family

Queen of the Dark Kingdom

[noperopesaredope]

Hey, so I know that I said I would be discontinuing the OG TSYHitD, but a few days ago, I ended up finishing what was originally meant to be the second to last chapter of the original fic. I decided to post it and will finish the OG fic while still continuing the rewritten version. But for all you old fans of the OG fic, here is the chapter you've been waiting the past few years for!

[pixiedust111]

I shouldn't have added the lace 😬. Anyway, I'd like to call her "Emilia" since the series didn't give her a name. It took about 4 hours to complete this painting, still I'm not satisfied; something just doesn't feel right with it 😕. If anyone like to tweak it, I won't mind ;) , really!

Portrait: Emilia (Eugene's Mom), Queen of the dark kingdom, Edmund's wife, Rapunzel's mother in law.

Medium: Digital (ibisPaint X)

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE ANSHSJKDJDHSHDHDHDH!

I will definitely be using her for inspiration for the Dark Kingdom women. Definitely. She is a ✨QUEEN✨

Haha!🤣

So in the tangled server,,, I went off how Edmund’s wife was basic and she should have been more unique, then I went to her being the one that should have lived, and now we’re at her being replacement Edmund, and he’s dead, she lives. She’s the warrior queen mother we deserve.

So here’s a sort of redesign? 

ANYWAYS big noses are pretty so we had that we’re not doing that all noses with a bridge are evil smh.

  i couldnt resist giving her feral eyes im sorry

Part 17: the stars are shining their brightest light

"We can get lost in fears that we make for days that feel black as night, but there in the dark, you'll find that the stars are shining their brightest light." -If You Love Someone by The Veronicas

Regent Masterlist Part 16

“This is my girlfriend, Queen Regent Jasmine of the Infinite Realms.” 

If there was ever a way to silence the Bat-family, it was with an introduction like that. 

Sure, Jason knew the family was fully aware of Jasmine Nightingale (thanks to Replacement), but he was positive that he had just rocked their world by just casually dropping the fact that  Jazz was not only royalty of the same dimension but also ruled it in the stead of the true monarch… He was certain that his family would figure out what he wasn’t saying soon enough. 

Beautifully executed and dinner hadn’t even started. 

The shock that permeated the room was delicious, feeding his ego as he led Jazz to their seats the furthest from Bruce, with Jazz safe at his side where he could intercept any perceived attack aimed at her. He’d ignored the rule about weapons at the table, packing his favorite desert eagle at his back and an ecto-gun strapped to his ankle that was a thoughtful gift from Danny. Jasmine had her bracelets uncharmed for the evening, desiring transparency with his family, and he knew how quickly she could summon her armor and Faithkeeper. They were as prepared as they could be and it made him proud that he had someone like Jazz to watch his back.

(He loved fighting back-to-back with her.) (Almost as much as he loved keeping her safe.) (The Lady and her knight.) (He was in love.)

It was Dickolas that spoke first, barely containing his excitement, “Little Wing, I’m so happy for you!” Which allowed pandemonium to follow from the rest of his siblings. 

“Oh my gosh-” 

���A member of royalty-” “-you’re-” 

“Jason pulled-”

 “gorgeous!” 

“New sister?”

“-is willing-” 

“A queen?!” 

“-to date you?” 

“Nice one man.” 

The once-Revenant could practically taste Jazz’s amusement, relishing in her amusement-bafflement-love as they waited quietly for the others to settle down so the couple could answer the questions no doubt waiting for them.  

The first question Jazz could answer was probably the one that she dreaded to answer. 

“How’d you meet?” Tim asked, eyes switching from Jason to her and back again. 

Jason was swift to reply, “At a bookstore.” “Got to talking and Jason asked me out.” Jazz added with a soft smile at the memory of a blushing Jason. 

The dark-haired girl at the table, Cassandra Wayne, signed something far too quick for Jazz to read completely. Though Stephanie translated right away, “Cass asked how long it took Jason to ask you out.” 

Jazz chuckled a bit and set down her cutlery to sign her response, though the movements were somewhat stilted- she hadn’t used sign language since the last meeting with Heppa, a mute acropolis amazonian that once acted as Jazz’s sparring partner while under Pandora’s tutelage. 

Some signs were muscle memory (stop, peace, fight), but others were difficult to recall. The ghost equivalent of ASL (ESL or ecto sign language) was far easier to fall back into than ASL, given that it also used emotions to communicate. [Two days, nervous, very cute.] Jazz signed, projecting the fondness-love she felt for her soulmate as she did. Cass tilted her head, the faint prickle of curiosity evaporating into the air almost as soon as Jazz registered it, but one of the other men at the table turned the attention away from the two women’s silent conversation. “I can’t believe little wing got a queen to date him!” Dick exclaimed. 

“Tt, a member of royalty should have better standards than to settle for Todd.” That comment came from the youngest Wayne, Damian, where he sat to his father’s left. The head of the house studied Jazz with a quiet air of protect-wariness. 

Ah, yes. They’d met as their alter egos- her the Regent and him the Batman. How concerning it must be for her to find her way into his son’s life and to his dining table with his other children. Bruce no doubt saw the evidence of the extent she would go to for Phantom. 

One slash, two, three Blood is on your hands already. 

Fourth, fifth slash Ask the ghosts if honor matters, buried amongst the ash.  Slash six, seven Sharpen your love into a weapon

“Jason is a wonderful person and partner.” Jazz replied, electing to ignore the DadBat’s stare into the side of her skull. Cass’s hands moved again, a bit slower than the first time, much to Jazz’s relief. [Do ghosts use sign?] 

[Yes. Emotions with words.] Jazz answered with a small smile as she once again projected her emotions, fondness-anxiety-amusement, for those present even if they couldn’t register them. 

“What are those shadows behind you?” Duke blurted out, eyes still locked onto something over Jazz’s shoulder. 

“Shades.” The manor was full of weak shades, no doubt belonging to ancestors of the Wayne lineage. “Weak ones” she clarified. 

Bruce spoke up this time, “The weakest form of ghosts?” he asked for clarification as if he wasn’t in possession of the Ghost Files, which she knew had information on shades. 

(Among other beings.) (She tried not to think about her own file.) (The evidence of patricide and matricide.) 

“Yes. These ones are probably just curious about my presence.” It was true, as far as she could tell. Jazz was the most liminal being in existence, after all, not to mention the Crown of Fire she bared as Regent. Thankfully, she couldn’t make out any hostility from the ancestral shades, not with her permission to be here and an escort of a Fraid member (Jason) was not an intrusion. 

“You are aware we know your identity,” Damian stated, with a glare that would cut down weak men. “And that you know ours.” 

(Well, no shit Sherlock.) (Jason’s Red Hood.) (No need for a corkboard and red string.) “Demon spawn-” Jason growled, but Jazz took his hand in hers to calm down the anger she could feel bubbling up to the surface. He took a deep breath in and out before he squeezed her hand back. “Damian. I trust Jazz with my life, she won’t betray us or our secret identities.” 

“Phantom trusted you with the Ghost Files. If he considers you worthy, then so will I.” Jazz swore. 

Dinner passed far quicker than Jason expected. He sat back and basked in his Lady’s presence at the dining table as she answered questions, as they had agreed before arriving. Bruce hadn’t spoken much, no doubt content to watch the interactions between his kids and Jazz. 

Jason hoped the old man could see how wonderful his Lady was. She was his guiding hand through darkness and fire, made his worries melt away, and offered him peace in his second chance at life. 

Gave him her heart, him, the eight-heads in a duffel bag crime lord. Let him meet her little brother, her reason for surviving thus far, her world. Let Jason’s scarred and bloody hands hold her close to his still-beating heart and Proto-core. 

He couldn’t offer her much, not really, but he could offer her a piece of him- this, his family, his Fraid. It wasn’t a lot, not when compared to what Jazz had given him before he ever knew her name, but it was all he had to give that couldn’t be offered so easily. 

(Jazz would never hurt his family.) (Not unless they hurt him first.) 

One day, the two of them would be comfortable in this manor side by side, but not now with the newness and wariness he could feel from his Fraid

Perhaps he shouldn’t ask Bruce for that favor quite yet. 

A/N: I am thrilled to announce that with this update the Regent is no longer in Hiatus! With the AO3 version comes more fuel to write (comments & kudos) and of course that gives me more encouragement to write. There will be gaps between posts still, but I will be posting parts again. AO3 link in Regent masterlist, parts combined into longer chapters. beta'd by the awesome @meditating-cat

Thanks for reading!

[acourtofthought]

What a character says is not more important than the story the author is telling.

Case in point. Aelin wanted to win her freedom from the king so she could run off and live a quiet life. If her wishes / desires at that moment were the most important thing, if we needed to support what she said she wanted more than anything else, then there would be no TOG as we know it to be. We would not have read about her building an army, we would not have read about her saving the world by searching for / destroying the keys, we would not have read about her becoming Queen. The story instead would have been her working as the King's assassin then heading off to live a quiet life.

So when some in this fandom STILL call us misogynists for not believing / supporting Elain stating how she's part of the NC it's because we understand that her words do not actually matter more than the story Sarah wants to tell. Elain could absolutely feel that way right now, or she could be saying it in an effort to convince herself she's fine when in reality her hidden truth is she's struggling. But either way, that doesn't seem to be the story Sarah is setting up therefore Elain's statement does not have more weight than the crumbs Sarah has laid out for her. Elain is not real. Sarah is. As a best selling author Sarah has now learned how to write a FMC that is layered and complex, one who does not always say what she truly feels (Nesta anyone?) or one who tries to hide from her fate because she's still growing as a character.

Elain, a future FMC who is still evolving, who still needs to have character growth in her book did say she's part of the NC in someone else's story.

But Sarah J Maas, the author who writes Elain's character and knows where she is going, chose to write Elain refusing Illyrian leathers. Chose to write Elain as a rose bloom in a mud field when surrounded by Illyrians (symbolism for how she does not fit in especially when she immediately told us Nesta was a forged sword in that same setting). Chose to write how Nesta is Illyrian at heart but Elain is Elain. Chose to write Elain returning TT and not looking back. Chose to write her sitting in a room filled with sunlight as if any bit of darkness was abhorrent. Chose to write her having lost her color in the NC winter. Chose to write her mind as sleeping buds while in the NC. Chose to write her mate as the heir to Day and her declaration that she needed sunshine. Chose to write NC black making her look ridiculous. Chose to write how the Spring Court had been made for someone like Elain. Chose to write how Elain's scent was like a promise of spring. Chose to write that Elain wearing black, no matter how much she claims to be part of the NC...it sucks the life from her.

Claiming Elain's words before she's even had a book matter more than the story Sarah has clearly been setting up for her is a cop-out. It's a desperate attempt to convince us that she's a real person who we need to respect (simply so some can convince themselves she'll end up with Az in the NC) instead of being a fictional character who is no different than any other fictional character, ones that also had to go through growth before finding their place in the world, to finally realizing what it is they actually wanted.

Elain is not real.

Sarah is real.

Sarah often has her female main characters make statements that are not actually the truth because they're hiding from their destiny or trying to convince themselves of something they don't actually feel so they don't have to face the things they do feel.

Therefore maybe people should focus a little less on the words coming out of a fictional character's mouth before she's even had a POV (one who confirmed she was still working through her trauma) and instead focus on what Sarah is hinting at for her future despite those words.

Calling real people misogynists because someone doesn't like that others understand how author's write books / how a characters growth is typically written is insane when those same people are the ones disrespecting real women / men / non-binary people over an imaginary character.

I love your work so much and it has been like 2 hours since i discovered it aghhh ><

(Nsfw) ik you're on hiatus but just a quick idea(thought it was cool sorry TT). Itoshi rin as a butler and the reader as royalty, reader initiates things by teasing rin but rin rejects because of their differneces in class but eventually give in and lets out his inner yandere 🙏 they have sex secretly with rin degrading reader for being such a whore even though shes royality🤦‍♀️ (you can write it in any way you want ill be satisfied anyways) please ignore if you dont like it im not trying to force you to write this 🙏 love you hope everything's fine!

tysm doll 💜 i'm glad you enjoy my works :p

wc : 1.0k, not proofread.

warnings : dark themes, mentions of nudity, rin has a temper, degradation, mentions of sadness, y/n having a break down, fingering, mentions of alcohol and use of poison, intended for murder. based in victorian period.

Rin is the butler of the house and has been your childhood friend. Considers himself to be distinct from you, he makes his bed on mornings, getting into his suit. Over the years it was the same routine, making your bed, telling you your schedule for the day, reminding you to dab the corner of your mouth when you ate something, giving you a glare when you picked up the wrong fork or when you were crass, even telling you to sit up straight when you slouched.

He is a strict disciplinarian, going harsh and hard on you, sometimes even pushing you to the verge of tears yet he was also the shoulder you cried on certain nights, finding solace in his stiff posture, not daring to touch you. He knew the two of you couldn't be in the same world. You were the princess while he was your butler. A gentle hand like yours wouldn't want his scarred one, he would think, staring into his glass of wine on the kitchen counter. little did he know that you liked him and had found adoration for him over the years.

Just when Rin couldn't seem to shake you out of his head, things got worse. Your bed was messy than usual - taking him hours to spread it over. Your behavior became more crass and you became more defiant, shooting back at him.

the last straw was when you demanded that he bathe you, extending a foot towards him, your breasts covered with the milkiness of the soaped water in the large bath, the sunlight reflecting off your skin making you look tempting to man. "Go on. Clean me, Rin." you tempted, waving your foot of at him.

Throwing the sponge on the ground, he had had enough, getting into the water with you, his shirt becoming soaked and transparent. Holding you by the throat, he leans in menacingly towards you. "I can tolerate having to do chores. But what I won't tolerate is you disrespecting me. Try that again and I'll make sure that you are punished. I might be a mere butler, but remember. I know you like the back of my hand and these years of experience have given me enough knowledge about you. The next time you disrespect me, I will make sure to take you over my fucking knee. Are we clear about that princess?"

You don't talk to him for weeks, while he adjusts to you until he was in the courtroom, summoned by your mother the queen. "Make sure that she fits into the finest of gowns you can find and that she attends to the tailor to have her measurements taken." she commanded. "She has to impress her suitors." The dreaded instance. You were in your early twenties, bound to be married. He was upset that night, going to town once the sun went down to drown his sorrows in his glasses of wine for he hated beer. As the week passed by, he noticed instances of your courtship with the prince of a neighboring kingdom whose name and face he did not bother to remember.

It wasn't until one bold night he couldn't hold it in anymore, watching you give him lust and desired filled glances despite the fiancé of your parents choosing giving you attention with lavish gifts. He came to your chambers that night demanding answers.

"You just love pushing my buttons, don't you princess. What kind of a whorish upbringing did you even have to start behaving like this?" he taunted you as he thrust two fingers into your soaking wet cunt. "Do you just love seducing men and then not giving them what they want? Do enjoy torturing me?" He watched as you turned your head from side to side, refusing to meet his eyes. "Can't even see me. Aren't you even the least bit ashamed of yourself?" he prodded further. You refused to answer, your lips sealed.

Getting on top of you, he grinds his knee into your pussy, making you moan, his hands firmly holding yours above your head.

"Tell me princess, do you like driving a man to the verge of insanity ? Making him watch you with your future husband yet letting him fuck you in this bed ? Just how low has your dignity fallen princess? You're not even worth a common whore, in fact you're worse." he sneered, gathering your hands into his wrist whilst the other was holding the flesh of your thigh. "What other choice do I have?! My parents want me to marry someone of royal stature, yet they care less about me. You've seen how ruthless my kin can be, marrying off my sisters to gain more lands. You think I'm happy ?! huh?! Do you ?!" you cry. He felt nothing more than to make your anguish disappear. Words of love were exchanged that night. "I'm here." "I'm not leaving you." The usual gruff and strict disciplinarian of a butler had turned into a lover, giving you words of affirmation with every thrust, moaning into your ear and kissing every part of your body that his lips could reach, losing his sanity over and over again as your drew him into your warm welcoming arms. The thought of you being with someone else being pushed into the back of his mind replaced with how good you were clenching around him while your nails drew lines down his back, his hand swiping at your clit to give you your release. Lying in the same bed with you he kissed your forehead while his hand pet your hair a sign of a short goodbye as he was to leave early the next morning.

He watched as you pretended to be interested in the talks your fiancé was giving, with the occasional smile you gave him along with a playful tap. Looking into the tray of wines, he knew the prince's glass, slipping a poison into it. You would weep perhaps from shock and sadness over the loss of a life. But in the end,

you would always turn to his shoulder for solace just as you had in good old days.

You decide to SEEK COUNSEL from the Rose human's dark spectacled friend. You believe you understand how to proceed.

Kanaya seeks counsel from the Knight of Time, who (possibly accidentally) lets slip some good advice...

...and their relationship finally starts to blossom.

You put into motion a cunning plan in your SEVENTH CONVERSATION, in which you have attached a MISSION CRITICAL TEXT DOCUMENT.

We get a treat I didn't expect - a copy of the legendary document, ConversationWithAVeryStupidGirl.Txt!

It's incredible. Kanaya presented it to Rose as a transcript of a future conversation, subtly doctored to trick Rose into following a time loop.

What it actually is is an obviously doctored transcript, where Kanaya Tactically Omits every awkward interaction, and edits Rose's responses with her typing quirk.

Kanaya isn't trying to hide her edits - which makes this document less of a clever trick, and more of a genuine attempt by Kanaya to communicate something to Rose.

TT: i am the queen of books. TT: I Am Also Infuriatingly Aloof TT: And Difficult To Engage With TT: When Maybe All The Other Person Wants To Do Is Maybe To Try To Be My Friend

"I Want To Get To Know You."

TT: it's hard to keep track with all your time nonsense. TT: Am I Being Sincere Here TT: In Retrospect It Will Probably Seem Unlikely To My Current Conversational Partner

"I Am Trying Really Hard To Understand You."

TT: because i am basically in love with him, you are right. TT: It Is At This Point I Admit To Flushed Longings For The Ignoramus Who Likes Terrible Films TT: I Am Doing This Only To Bother You

"When You Joked About Liking John It Bothered Me. You Can Probably Figure Out Why."

TT: Why Would I Even Be Saying Things Like This TT: Of Course TT: I Have Been So Foolish TT: It Is Because I Am Trolling You TT: I Wonder Where I Could Have Possibly Gotten The Idea To Do That In The First Place

"I Know We Got Off On The Wrong Foot, But It Was Mostly Because Of Time Loop Nonsense."

ConversationWithAVeryStupidGirl.Txt is so ironic, it's tipped over into sincerity - and it's asking a very simple question.

"I Like You. Can We Start Again?"

In their next conversation, Rose provides an answer.

And that answer is yes.

I'm watching Tangled The Series/Rapunzel Tangled Adventures and like The idea that the Queen Of The Dark Kingdom tried to destroy the Moonstone Opal before Edmund did is very dear to me.

Truth-Teller's Scabbard

Just some quotes and me obsessing over where the name come from.

But the second male, the more classically beautiful of the two �� Even the light shied from the elegant planes of his face. With good reason. Beautiful, but near-unreadable. He’d be the one to look out for—the knife in the dark. Indeed, an obsidian-hilted hunting knife was sheathed at his thigh, its dark scabbard embossed with a line of silver runes I’d never seen before (acomaf)

Azriel’s knife was out, balanced on a knee. Truth-Teller— the name stamped in silver Illyrian runes on the scabbard. He’d already learned that the Attor and a few others had been stationed on the outskirts of the Illyrian territory. I was half tempted to dump the Attor in one of the war-camps and see what the Illyrians did to it. (acomaf- rhys' mind)

Elain’s eyes widened at the obsidian-hilted blade in Azriel’s scarred hand. The runes on the dark scabbard. “It has never failed me once,” the shadowsinger said, the midday sun devoured by the dark blade. “Some people say it is magic and will always strike true.” He gently took her hand and pressed the hilt of the legendary blade into it. “It will serve you well.” (acowar)

Az ran a thumb down Truth-Teller’s black hilt, the silver runes on the dark scabbard shimmering in the light. “What about the human queens?” (acofas)

It is said to be carved in illyrian runes...so who carved them there? Why "Truth-teller"? What truth it tells? Bc so far in the story it didn't do anything that leads to a truth reveal? Or it did? Elriel tt scene? It was the bridge between them? Is it telling us the "truth" about elain and azriel?

But still...who carved those runes there? Enalius?

My father had never shown himself to be giving—long had he kept Gwydion and never once offered it to my mother. The dagger that had belonged to his dear friend, slain during the war, hung at his side, unused. But not for long.

The Asteri’s eyes flared with recognition at the long blade. “Did Fionn send you, then? To slay me in my sleep? Or was it that traitor Enalius? I see that you bear his dagger—as his emissary? Or his assassin?”

He was the first wielder of it so did he carve them there? But why? Does it have something to do with ramiel? Because Gwydion was made on top of ramiel and they are twin blades...so tt is also connected to ramiel. So...maybe we need to take it there.

The snows around Ramiel parted, revealing a massive bowl of iron at the foot of the monolith. Even through the vision, its presence leaked into the world, a heavy, ominous thing.(Hofas)

Another shift of memory, and Fionn pulled a long blade from the Cauldron, dripping water. A black blade, whose dark metal absorbed any trace of light around it. Bryce’s knees weakened. (hofas)

The only other truth name we have was about a location—a room. Dusk's truth. Is it going to be another location? A room? Maybe it is under ramiel like that dusk room was under Asteri's palace. But what truth is it going to reveal?

And "it will always strike true" as Azriel said it ...maybe it is not a magical word about the blade but actually strike through a truth...truth teller...strike the truth??!?! Like Bryce did with TT and gwydion in those caves under Avallen??

Bryce peered down at the eight-pointed star in the center of the room. The two strange slits in the points. One small, one larger. She looked at the weapons in her hands: a small dagger, and a large sword. They’d fit right into the slits in the floor, like keys in a lock.(Hofas)

Maybe we have to do the same...so strike the truth. (I dont even know lmfaooo)

also interesting myth connection...In athurian legends excalibur has a scabbard that is important.(I went into detail in this post about the connection of gwydion and tt to excalibur)

In the Post-Vulgate version, used in Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur for the second Excalibur, the sword's scabbard is also said to have powers of its own, as any wounds received while wearing it would not bleed at all, thus preventing the wearer from ever bleeding to death in battle. For this reason, Merlin chides Arthur for preferring Excalibur over its sheath, saying that the latter is the greater treasure.

And it is actually stolen from Arthur by Morgana.

The scabbard is, however, soon stolen from Arthur by his half-sister Morgan le Fay in revenge for the death of her beloved Accolon, he having been slain by Arthur with Excalibur in a duel involving a false Excalibur (Morgan also secretly makes at least one duplicate of Excalibur during the time when the sword is entrusted to her by Arthur earlier in the different French, Iberian and English variants of that story). During Morgan's flight from the pursuit by Arthur, the sheath is then thrown by her into a deep lake and lost. This act later enables the death of Arthur, deprived of its magical protection, many years later in his final battle. In Malory's telling, the scabbard is never found again. In the Post-Vulgate, however, it is recovered and claimed by another fay, Marsique, who then briefly gives it to Gawain to help him fight Naborn the Enchanter (a Mabon figure).[32]

So it is stolen by morgana...and thrown into a deep lake and it is lost. And this leads to Arthur's death in his last battle bc he doesn't have the scabbard anymore to stop him from bleeding...

Ngl there is a pretty sus person who was very interested in Truth-teller in acosf...IDK...if you know you know...........

So thats it...thanks for reading 🫡🩷

The flames of the witchcraft torches played with reflections on the ancient walls and the blue-black plumage of the raven. Flying under the stone arch, the bird spread its wings unnaturally wide, stepping onto the gallery floor with human feet.

The train of her thin, almost transparent outfit rolled down two steps below, under the feet of the quietly grumbling owner of the castle.

— Cover yourself, — Damian hissed, raising his wings threateningly. — I don't need guards staring at you.

— Do I really hear jealousy in your voice?

— Tt. I don't share my property. And you're on that list.

Anyone else would have found his tone intimidating, even dangerous, but Raven just rolled her eyes and stepped out the door of the luxurious chambers. Her bare feet immediately sank into the softness of carpets and animal skins, carrying their owner to the burning fireplace. The orange light made her outfit almost invisible, highlighting every seductive curve.

Grabbing an unfinished book from the shelf, Raven deftly climbed onto the arm of a huge armchair, hid her feet under the cushion on the seat and immersed herself in reading.

Maleficent glared at his familiar and silently walked to the window. From the top of his tower, he could see for miles around, including the capital of his father's kingdom. Damn Gotham. For some inexplicable reason, the city irritated and attracted at the same time: belonging to people, from the old catacombs to the highest spires, but still storing ancient magic in its own shadows. And it was all the more annoying that Damian didn't have a place there.

The son of a fairy lady and a mortal ruler who had not ceased to be ashamed of this kinship for twenty years, Maleficent wanted revenge. He had planned everything, was ready to revel in his triumph and the look of despair on his parent's face, when Bruce from the Wayne house of course ruined everything.

— Floras, Fawn, and Maryweather, — Damian growled softly.

— A trio of fairies from the swamps? — Raven was instantly distracted from her reading.

— Three reasons for my irritation. And the only explanation for the king's behavior.

Maleficent simply couldn't find any others. Cursing his father's pitiful mortal daughter, he expected screams of horror, pain, and pleas for mercy, but saw only confusion and incomprehension in his eyes. Not the kind of emotions Damian wanted to enjoy after all these years.

—Or maybe the king doesn't care about all his children, — the dark fairy concluded, turning away from the window, catching the calm violet gaze of his familiar.

Raven gave him a soft smile, returned the book to its place, and was almost immediately at his side. The scent of lavender and cinnamon immediately filled his nose, erasing the dusty smells of the city along with painful thoughts.

— We have sixteen years to check it out. And, whether the king wants to or not, he is doomed to think about you for the entire duration of the announced term.

— Too long,— Maleficent snorted. — And too merciful. He didn't deserve this!

—But you deserve,— the familiar came close, barely touching him through his clothes. The tenderness in her touch and voice cooled his anger. — And when His Majesty has exhausted all available means to save the princess, he will come to you." And you'll get everything you've wanted for so long.

— Maybe, — Damian breathed.

Take a classic fairy tale and reshape the characters for DC? With pleasure! 😁😁😁 So Damian is the male version of Maleficent, Raven is actually a raven, three fairies are three brothers, in blue (Dick), red (Jason) and green (Tim), Bruce, as always, is a so-so dad, Selina as the queen and Helena Aurora Wayne herself. It's going to be fun! And in the case of DamiRae, it is very, very hot.The full version will be for Valentine's Day 💌💘

An initial list of questions spawned from HOFAS

HOFAS spoilers below the break.

I’ve been thinking about some big and some small questions since I finished HOFAS last night and wanted to preserve them here with some of my thoughts for later discussion. I am also planning some larger theory posts to try to answer some of these questions.

Also, please reblog with any additional questions you may have if you’d like!!!

Where are the other Hel princes and what are they fighting?

Are Valg related to the Asteri or the Hel princes (or both)?

Are Valg children of the Void like the Hel princes?

Is the Under-King Valg and has he been hiding in the Under-King body living off of some of the Second Light?

How do Koschei and the Carver and the Weaver fit in with this?

Is Az also a descendant of the second daughter since he’s Starborn?

Is ToG on the same timeline as Prythian and CC?

Are the tall fae that came to Midgard from Erilea coming from the same time period depicted at the oasis in ToD when Yrene and Chaol find those carvings from the first demon wars, before Elena or Gavin were born?

Who on Prythian is a powerful enough starborn to wield and use Gwydion and TT? Is Elain? Or will the three Archeron sisters together make Theia’s light anew, as @offtorivendell @wingedblooms and I have theorized that each Archeron sister has part of Theia’s light.

Will the Archeron sisters be able to wield TT and Gwydion together to kill the unkillable—Koschei?

Did Bryce revive Dusk by taking Silene’s light back like she did Avallen when she took Theia’s light out of it? Or will someone (Elain???? Cc @wingedblooms) revive Dusk?

Does Urd = Wyrd = Chaos = the Dark Mother?

Is the temple in Hel that looks like Urd’s temple a temple to Chaos, Hel’s version of Urd and Apollion’s mother?

Were the ToG gods and the Asteri sucked (back into?) the Void, and if so, can the Void send them back or can they be retrieved from the Void by something?

What IS the connection between the gods in all these worlds, like Bryce asked when she was in Prythian?

Why do all these different fae societies oppress the females? Is it because only females can be powerful starborn, and some forces are at work to suppress that power to protect darker beings? Like how Pelias seems to have created a society that doesn’t allow women to get access to anything related to starborn to prevent another starborn queen from rising?

Can only females be powerful starborn/light wielders and can only males be powerful dark wielders/shadow wielders? Like how Hypaxia says six pointed star is two triangles, one male one female one light one dark (three brothers who are dark princes, three sisters who are starborn/princesses of light?)

Are there male lightsingers or female shadowsingers, or do singers follow these same rules?

Are morven and the murder twins descended from people from Hybern? The murder twins are daemati and remind me of the Hybern twins, and Morven’s shadows are described like ravens.

Does this mean TT has slewn two Hybern kings?

Where does the Starborn power come from?

Where in Prythian are the avallen from?

Are the Starborn and Avallen the same people?

Was Fionn the original king of darkness/shadows and theia the original queen of light/starborn queen? And are the males of their line the former, and the females the latter?

Where in Prythian did Fionn and Pelias come from?

Can TT unMake a mating bond?

Can Elain wield Gwydion and TT together to unMake her bond with Lucien and Make a bond with Azriel?

Aidas tells Hunt some higher power must have made them Mates. We have all these super powerful fae finding their powerful mates right before these huge universe altering moments. Is this part of how Urd is using them as pawns in her plans/games?

Why does Amren’s timeline not match Silene’s re the creation of the Prison? Was this just a continuity error, did Silene manipulate memories, or is this fishy on Amren’s part?

Was Enalius one of the people with Fionn and Theia on Ramiel when they made Gwydion and TT?

Did Nesta give up some of her Starborn powers when she gave back what she stole from the Cauldron, and does this mean she won’t be able to wield and use Gwydion and TT, which will lead to Elain’s role with this?

Summary: You, the queen, help Gimli, Aragorn and Legolas on their journey.

════════════════════════════════════════════

One of the guards of Ilyenore ran to the enormous gates of the kingdom when they heard that three (until now) unknown men were in front of it. Two of them didn’t even know who ruled this kingdom but one knew and he was none other than Aragorn. 

“In the name of the queen, what are you here for?” One of the men in the armour asked and pointed his speer at the redhaired dwarf while inspecting him as good as possible in the already dimmed evening sun.

“I am Aragorn, son of Aratorn. We are here to seek the queen’s guidance.” He insists and smiles at the guards, which only nodded. “What about these two?” The other one asked and obviously wanted Aragorn to introduce them.

“The dwarf is Gimly, Gloin’s son and the elf there, that’s prince Legolas of Mirkwood.” Said Aragorn, offered them a hand.

The older guard nodded again and told the smaller one, blond hair and a mischievous grin: “Dereo, bring them to the queen.”

The younger one agreed and took them with him until they were in front of a tree. Gimli and Legolas shared a wondering look until the guard knocked on the side of it. Th redhaired dwarf was ready to complain as the landscape transformed from a bare overgrown grove into a big forest with many little cottages and a big palace. Both the dwarf and the elf were overly shocked while Aragorn chuckled at their reaction and a small “Dark magic” muttered.

While Dereo guided them further to the palace some royal guards joined them and greeted the smaller guard with their special greeting until they reached the grounds of the huge building and the royal guards took over the three men. 

In the throne room were some maids and guards hurrying around and they were told that the queen would be there soon. 

When a woman in black clothes and a black cloak entered the hallway with two daggers attached to her hips, Aragorn got on his knees. The queen was majestic in a different manner, she seemed very humane and kind, that’s why Legolas and Gimli didn’t understand first why Aragorn got down. The first thing that Legolas noticed were her ears which looked a lot like the ones elves have but they were a lot longer and pointier and were adorned by silver jewellery.

“Queen Nithroel! Great to see you again.” Aragorn spoke and yes, the two in the background hastily got on their knees, hoping the queen didn’t notice that. She did but didn’t say anything against it.

“Aragorn, my friend. Why so formal? I thought we agreed on my name, Y/n.” She smiled and offered him a hand to stand up when they hugged each other as a welcoming. 

Then she looked at the other two guys and nodded approvingly. “You look a lot like your father, Sir Gimli.” 

“Oh, really? Thank you, your majesty.” He said slyly and a sheepish red crept onto his face. 

When the queen turned her head towards Legolas, she realised who he was. 

“My prince.” And bowed her head in respect. Legolas was amazed because he didn’t know such kind of behaviour from his father, who was also a king but only smiled at the woman and said “no formalities, you’re the queen here.” 

“You must be hungry and tired, my friends. Please be my guests and take a seat in my dining hall, the cook will bring you some amazing food. If you like, I will tell my maids to prepare some rooms if you want to stay overnight.” She offered and when Gimli heard the word “food”, he was into it. 

The majesty took them to a smaller, but still very elegant dining hall and had a little talk with her kitchen staff which agreed on a good load of delicious nationalities. After that she told the maids to set three rooms up for her guests and joined the men in the dining hall.

After the meal they all went into their quarters, except for Legolas. When Y/n came back into the hall, she saw him pacing back and forth in front of a window.

“Do you need something, Legolas?” She asked, joined him at the window.

“I’m just worried.” He confessed. 

“Is it because of the Hobbits, young one?”, asked the girl next to him now and received a small nod from the blonde elf.

“I wish I could show you where they are and what they’re doing but I agreed on something with Galadriel and Haldir.” Then she realised, she shouldn’t have said something about it. 

“What did you agree on?” He now asked curiously.

“Dark magic to locate them.” She answered while blowing some air through her nose.

“What?” Legolas was clearly confused but slowly started to catch up on what the queen said. “That’s something with the ears, right?” 

“If you’re so interested in it, yes, it is.” Her smile left the perfect face when he asked about that.

“You descended from elves, aren't you?”  She was indeed. That’s what she explained to him too. Her mother was a gorgeous and pretty elf, very smart and sweet but she fell in love with a demon. Well, not exactly with one but her father was a shapeshifter and tarried his life in his mundane form. They loved each other dearly but when she was pregnant with his child, he left. She also told the elf that once ago, Thranduil taught her how to use her daggers and bow but wasn’t able to keep her because he was just lightly hotheaded. 

“He’s still the same, honestly. I understand you.” He chuckled.

But the queen put her hand on the youngling’s shoulder and smiled once again. “I know, it’s hard that he sometimes doesn’t act like a father but rethink your opinion. “Others have to take care of their families while he has to take care of his people, of his nation. You should know that. You should go to bed now, tomorrow will be a hard day for you all.” Her hair shone bright in the moonlight and he still watched her when she left the hall to go to her quarters, Legolas did the same.

The next morning was Aragorn the first one who was awake, obviously except for the queen. “Good morning, majesty.” He laughed when the black cloak came in sight. “Aragorn, I know you love teasing people, but right now is not the time for that. What do you need for your journey?” “You. We need you, are you joining us?”

“Sure, I also own some of the best horses for that.” The queen offered and Aragorn started to do a little happy-dance. “You’re not being serious right now, are you?” 

Yes, she was serious. Aragorn was also very interested what the queen thought about his friends to which she said that Gimli was an interesting dwarf but Legolas- Legolas was just the son of his father, other royals were never really happy about Thranduil ruling Mirkwood but Legolas was just scared to disappoint him.

“So you like him?” “Of course do I like him. His intentions are just the best.”

I keep getting random tts ideas in my head-💀

This is for a weird-ass story that I came up with in my head where a 18-year-old Varian is experimenting in his lab during a dark stormy night and then he gets up to go get sm. But his experiment is fucked up by some dark entity or some shit so when Varian gets back and puts something else in, he goes unconscious and travels to a fucked up version of Corona...and gets traumatized. A lot. You'll know what happened once you read below the cut. It's like the story Eugene told but majorly fucked up.

‘Millennia ago, a drop of Sun and Moon fell from the Heavens and descended to the corners of the globe; two elements longing to reunite…’

‘The Sundrop ended up in the hands of the king and queen of Corona, and the Moonstone ended up in the hands of the Dark Kingdom.’

‘The Sundrop was used to heal Corona's queen, who was pregnant, and very ill. But the power of the Sundrop itself was infused with the queen's unborn daughter, Rapunzel. So when she was born, she was born with beautiful, golden hair, along with the powers of the Sundrop. The king and queen celebrated their daughter's birth by sending floating lanterns into the sky. But alas, this happiness wouldn't last forever.’

‘One night, someone broke into the baby's tower and took her. The person was Mother Gothel, who desperately wanted her Sundrop flower back. When she realized that the Sundrop's healing powers had infused with Rapunzel, she took the baby and fled. The guards were alerted and wasted no time chasing after Gothel, but she was too fast, too agile. It almost looked like she was going to escape with the baby. Almost. Fortunately, the guards that were chasing her caught up to her and arrested her in front of her biological daughter, Cassandra. As a result, the Captain of the Royal Guard took Cassandra in as his own daughter, and Rapunzel was returned to her parents.’

‘But as Rapunzel grew older, her parents were more protective of her than ever due to her nearly getting kidnapped as a baby. They realized that they had to keep the power of the Sundrop protected and away from the wrong hands at ALL COSTS. But then, the black rocks came to the kingdom. The rocks destroyed infrastructure, terrified their subjects, and ultimately caused misery. The king and queen knew they had to do something, but they didn't know what, so they stayed put. But one day, while their daughter was out with the guards, she touched one of the rocks. The rock blew up, creating a massive crater in the town center, and rendering their daughter unconscious. That's when the king and queen knew they had to act. If these rocks were a danger to their daughter, then they would have to go.’

‘The king tracked the rocks to see if he could discern a pattern based on their locations. He soon realized that the rocks were forming a path that led somewhere. That somewhere, the king and queen realized, was the source of where the black rocks had come from. The source of all their misery. The source of their daughter's suffering. The king sent out a small scouting group to follow the black rocks to the source, and they found a kingdom- the Dark Kingdom. The king wasted no time in organizing an invasion of said kingdom. Before you know it, the king, his son, and his guards are taken prisoner, their people scattered across the land, and the Moonstone, discovered within the very heart of the palace in the Dark Kingdom, is sealed up in a chamber deep below Corona by the orders of the king. This leads us to today, a supposedly peaceful kingdom with no black rocks around, but in reality, it is a tyrant to its subjects and its prisoners who did nothing wrong…’

If y'all have any better ideas or spot any plot holes, comment down below. This is still a work-in-progress.
