#what is elope marriage

[azu1as]

Hi, Tin! I love your writing and I have a prompt for you, if you are interested) what if Tang family is too afraid of Tang Bo leaving permanently and eloping with Cheong Myeong? So they initiate marriage negotiations with Mount Hua. It can be angst (CM is socially isolated and insecure about his position) or romantic comedy (awkward situations and protective Cheong Mun), up to you). Thank you in advance!

It was a well-established fact that the Dark Saint of the Tang Family was one of their generation's best.

So it came as no surprise when an influx of marriage proposals flooded their family's estate—because rumors started flying around that the Dark Saint was in search of a partner.

The Dark Saint held a reputation for being cold and ruthless. To cultivators and martial artists, he was someone they feared making into an enemy due to his sheer battle prowess and poisonous abilities. To normal civilians, he was a genius who wielded the Tang Family's techniques with cool precision and intent; to them, he was just another mysterious cultivator that they would only ever know of through gossip and stories.

However, in recent years, something shifted. His reputation among common folk was slowly altered. It started off with a supposed battle between him and the Plum Blossom Sword Saint which turned into a sudden and unexpected friendship.

Whereas in the past the Dark Saint would only go around Sichuan and closeby villages, he was now found going around different major cities and unknown ones.

He was often in the company of Mount Hua's Plum Blossom Sword Saint, who worked with him side-by-side to eradicate groups from the Demonic Cult and the occasional bandits and thieves.

For supposed Taoists, the two visited different establishments to drink alcohol and talk cheerily. It was during one of these moments that the first rumor began its spark.

"Ahhhh," The Plum Blossom Sword Saint groans in satisfaction. "That sure hits the spot!"

The Dark Saint chuckles as he tosses back his own drink. "If only I could enjoy everyday like this. Alcohol really is the best."

"What would your future wife think?" The Plum Blossom Sword Saint jokingly and dramatically shakes his head in disappointment. "To have a husband who loves alcohol more than his own wife...!"

The Dark Saint wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. "Trust me, I would make sure that my wife knows full-well just how much I love them."

The two of them share a silent, private conversation with just their eyes alone, that none of the other restaurant's customers could decipher, before they leave a generous tip and went on their way.

It snowballs from there.

All of a sudden gossip went around about the Dark Saint's interest in finding a wife. And so several people came to the same conclusion.

The reason why the Dark Saint is travelling around more than usual is because he's looking for a prospective wife.

Clearly, the Plum Blossom Sword Saint was there to provide moral support. How truly admirable and strong their brotherhood must be!

On the other hand, the head of the Tang Family was fully aware of their Dark Saint's single-minded interest in Mount Hua's Chung Myung.

Seeing all the stacks of letters that ranged from proposing strategic alliances and general marriage offers brought the current head of the Tang Family to a very different conclusion.

Tang Bo was trying to slowly draw himself away from their family by leaving their estate. He might be on the hunt, jumping from village to village, trying to create a dowry befitting for the hand of the Plum Blossom Sword Saint and scouting out all the best locations to settle down in.

It really wouldn't be too surprising of an idea if one day a letter turns up from the man with an intent of permanently moving to Mount Hua or some backwater village.

The Tang Family head shakes the thought of losing one of their best and genius members to one of the Ten Great Sects. If he wanted to maintain their family's reputation, he'll need to strike the first move.

And so he begins to pen a decisive letter to the Sect Leader of Mount Hua.

%%%

Chung Mun's hands tremble as reads the letter sent to him by the Tang Family.

'Who did they think they were?' He would have bit out if he had any less self-restraint. The paper crumples in his grip and he receives a questioning glance from Chung Myung who was sprawled eating mooncakes on the opposite side of his desk.

"What's got you so worked up?" The subject of the letter askswithout a care.

Chung Mun takes a deep breath. "The Tang Family wishes for you to transfer into their estate."

He refuses to say out loud the marriage proposal that came along with this request. His Chung Myung was too young! The man might be a sixty years old, but that round face, cheeks carelessly bulging with mooncakes with crumbs littered on his chin, screamed too young for marriage!

"Oh." Chung Myung nods in understanding.

Chung Mun is glad that Chung Myung agrees that this was nonsensical. To think, they thought that Chung Myung would even leave Mount Hua for—

"After the war is over, Tang Bo and I were planning to be roommates and travel the world a bit."

—?????

"Roommates?" Chung Mun's voices comes out slightly strangled.

"Yup. It's going to be great."

"No."

"'No'?"

Chung Mun tries to run through his previous conversations with Tang Bo. He knew that the man was capable of being underhanded, but he was also well-aware that Tang Bo respected him enough to not blind-side him with something like this. Especially since it concerned Chung Myung.

...

...Oh no.

"Fuck." Chung Mun says, full of feeling as he recalls Tang Bo off-handedly asking permission to live together with Chung Myung in the future.

"...Sect Leader?"

Chung Mun had thought that was a joke! He thought Tang Bo wasn't being serious! They were talking with alcohol in their systems!

The alarmed look that crosses Chung Myung's face informed Chung Mun that the way he felt his blood drain from his face was a visible, physical reaction.

"He asked for your hand in marriage." Chung Mun says faintly. "I said yes."

Chung Myung blinked at him. "Yeah? He told me?"

Okay. Tang Bo, to his credit, hasn't been leaving Chung Myung in the dark at least.

If Chung Myung knows and isn't reacting violently that means that he isn't completely against this. Even if Chung Mun was, he had to reorganize his priorties.

And his number one would be to make sure Chung Myung was happy.

((And to make sure that the Tang Family doesn't think they can step on Chung Mun and pull his little brother away.))

"I'll have to recheck the sect's budget and my own savings to make sure we have enough for the wedding preparations..." Chung Mun mutters as he begins drafting a response to the Tang Family with what he thought were better marriage agreement conditions.

But then, a flash of dread causes Chung Mun to pause writing and leave a dark ink blot on the paper. He suspected, but he really wishes that he was wrong—!

"Huh?" Chung Myung gives Chung Mun a confused look. "We already got married though?"

[sickgraymeat]

I think she’s a romantic. I know this scene seems like a huge counterpoint to that lolll but really! I think she’s a romantic who’s also very pragmatic and private about her feelings and personal life, and who’s not very good at romance lmao. She loves ceremony. Like 75% of her career is essentially “making the toys kiss” in both a metaphorical and an almost-literal sense. Getting Hambo back was a grand romantic gesture!! She’s always embarrassed by it / shy about it when it’s personal but who isn’t lol

[kariachi]

Sometimes one remembers that the most common ancestral race of hobbits is described by Tolkien as "browner of skin" then the less common two (who might have been mostly outbred over the many years? on the topic of the "fairer of skin and also of hair" set Concerning Hobbits describes that "the strong Fallohidish strain could still be noted among the greater families, such as the Took and the Masters of Buckland", which to me implies that while there's still clear ancestry there they probably still have heavy Harfoot or even Stoor influence going on- otherwise why describe it as a 'strong strain' rather than just say they're still primarily Fallohidish families? especially when you consider that the section in question is discussing that they were particularly bold and adventurous for hobbits and so given what the Tooks and Brandybucks are like it may be more often a matter of inclination rather than visuals- not to doubt that the visuals show up, but probably not as often as inclination, especially if you allow for the secrecy-focused courting habits mentioned in the first draft of the first chapter of LotR (as published in The Return of the Shadow: The History of Lord of the Rings Part 1, by Christopher Tolkien, pg 17, yes I did go hunting), which would make marriages between differing groups so much more accessible (and may actually be why that's a thing)), that their curly hair is consistently pointed out, and that our initial description of hobbits given in The Hobbit specifically mentions "nimble brown fingers".

And then one gets aggravated all over again at how long it took for non-white hobbits to show up in adaptations and the sheer number of people over the years who have tried to make out like non-white hobbits would be such a horrible canon-breaking thing.

WOKE UP MARRIED IN VEGAS JOEL FICCC i need psychiatric evaluation

BRAINROT IS BRAINROTTING

no because imagine it

you and joel are friends (good friends? best friends? does joel miller even do best friends? you don’t know. you do know you spend a lot of time with him, you love sarah, tommy, and you get this fuzzy feeling around all of them but it’s a little different with joel. whatever.) and maybe one of you wins some all expenses paid trip to vegas, probably joel, absolutely joel, because tommy whines and asks joel to bring him as his plus one but joel asks you and you’re not sure why but fuck it, right? tommy flips you off dropping y’all off at the airport but he still wishes you guys lots of fun (he loves y’all, he’s like your annoying brother too). but it’s like, it’s just you and joel and vegas and you’ve seen enough movies to know it might not end well. actually, though, it starts out really fun. the contest included tickets to whatever current artist residency, and it’s fun. at least until you guys start drinking too much, and things get blurry, and you end up at some shitty little chapel because one of you got emotional (both. probably both) over how being single sucks and it’s not fair because you deserve love and to be loved and to give love and UGH! you’re not sure who suggests it but you end up at some shitty little chapel because some drunken “i love you, man!” “i love YOU, man!”s were exchanged and it’s just a very fun and shimmery night. except you wake up the next morning naked in bed with joel in your hotel room and you’re cuddled up against his chest, he’s snoring in your ear, and he’s so warm, and comfy, and safe, and familiar but oh my god, you’re naked in bed with joel. and your head fucking hurts. he starts waking up when it seeps in and you shout and push him out of bed and now you’ve both got a headache worse than it should’ve been. he’s naked, you’re naked, he’s on the floor, you’re both wearing wedding rings. there’s a polaroid of you two kissing on the nightstand, drunk, and messy, but genuine. it’s painfully obvious that you’re married, did something last night your sober minds would never had the guts to do, and well! fuck! joel mentions annulment faster than you can remember how to breathe and you’re not sure why your chest feels so tight but you agree because you have to, of course you do. he apologizes, so do you, and you both go back to texas with the notion in mind that this will be undone faster than you know it, and you’ll never have to speak about it again. neither one of you asks why you haven’t taken the rings off yet. (of course there’s aftermath but this is so long already oh my god i’m sorry)

HP Next Gen Headcanons: Scorpius

Full Name: Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy

House: Slytherin

Wand: yew and unicorn hair

Patronus: black swan

Boggart: Delphi and/or Harry (separating him from Albus; more specifically being abandoned/alone)

Profession: healer (specializes in curses)

Sexuality: bisexual

Image(picrew):

Bonus: has his mother's eyes. Decides to study healing and curses because of his mother's blood malediction and because he wanted to remove his father’s dark mark to entirely free him of his traumatic past (it takes a very long time but he does eventually develop a counter curse that effectively removes it). Unlike Albus he was interested in Quidditch and tried out his second year but was quickly rejected. Albus was angrier about it than Scorpius. Raised on the fine arts as many purebloods are but is pretty useless when it comes to more basic home-ec like cooking and cleaning. His mother got him into gardening and herbology, which helped him bond with Hugo in particular because he was also interested in it. They get on outrageously well but Rose does not approve of their friendship. Has a close relationship with Lily, who absolutely loves him, as well as with Teddy who used to babysit him when he was super young. The first time he sees Albus is actually when Teddy shows him a photo of himself with the Potter kids (always thought he had super pretty eyes). Suffers from lingering effects of the cruciatus curse that Delphi used against him, like phantom pains, stiff hands and difficulty breathing when it gets too cold. Has ptsd from the incident and consistently has nightmares about losing Albus. Initially thought Harry was literally the coolest SOB in the universe until he started school, and by the end of fourth year actually became really frightened of him ("please don't take albus from me" that kind of thing). He really likes Ginny but is super shy and nervous around her.

Extras:

Wand Wood — yew

"Yew wands are among the rarer kinds, and their ideal matches are likewise unusual and occasionally notorious. The wand of yew is reputed to endow its possessor with the power of life and death, which might, of course, be said of all wands; and yet yew retains a particularly dark and fearsome reputation in the spheres of duelling and all curses. However, it is untrue to say (as those unlearned in wandlore often do) that those who use yew wands are more likely to be attracted to the Dark Arts than another. The witch or wizard best suited to a yew wand might equally prove a fierce protector of others. Wands hewn from these most long-lived trees have been found in the possession of heroes quite as often as of villains. Where wizards have been buried with wands of yew, the wand generally sprouts into a tree, guarding the dead owner’s grave. What is certain, in my experience, is that the yew wand never chooses either a mediocre or a timid owner."

What better wand for a healer who specializes in curses than one of yew powered by unicorn hair? Scorpius receives this wand from Olivander after his first wand (willow and unicorn hair) is broken by Delphini. While Scorpius is quite timid in the beginning, he gains a new confidence in himself after the incident. Still somewhat timid in nature, he is not a pushover when it comes to the well-being of others. The wand sensed this, as well as his ambition to cure curses, and became his perfect match. It is outrageously powerful in his capable hands, and it will work for Draco or Albus, but only if it absolutely has to (this wand absolutely picks favorites).

Patronus — black swan (very uncommon)

"Black swans are one of the most protective and loyal animals. Witches or wizards who cast a black swan Patronus are often very loving, empathetic, and caring towards their friends and family. A black swan Patronus will defeat the darkness of a Dementor with a light of love and kindness."

Like the swan, Scorpius is a very loving, empathetic, and caring person. He is protective and loyal and very kind. I give him the black swan rather than a white swan because it's so uncommon, and because I think Scorpius is an uncommon sort of person. At first glance, you may feel put out by a black swan because it isn't what you'd expect. A first impression of initial unease and fear. This goes for people's first impression of Scorpius as well because they label him before getting to know him.

so many things are happening in the second half of s5 ... i just need time to elaborate everything or else i may implode

[dcxdpdabbles]

Danny: I did something I'm not proud of. Dan: Did you burn the ribs? Danny: No, Dan, the meal I promised you to get you here is fine. Dani: Did you forget the games? Danny: No, Dani, the board games I promised you, to get you here are in the same game room as last time. Jazz: Did you sell the hot tub? Danny: No, Jazz, the spa day I promised you to get you here will be happening tomarrow as scheduled. Dan: Then what you do? Danny: I got married this morning. Dani: You eloped!? Danny: The marriage was because of a cult Jazz: You're in a cult!? Danny: I'm Mr.Wayne now Dan: You didn't keep the family name! Danny: It wasn't my proudest moment, but a Phantom worshiping cult caught me in a summoning circle. They planned on sacrificing Bruce Wayne, a rich, beloved human they kidnapped, to use his death as a binding charm, forever enslaving me to them. I couldn't let him die, so I started a ghost marriage. Being married to me made the ritual invalid. Ten seconds after I finished my vows, Nightwing crashed through a window and set us free. It made the whole marriage pointless, and I ended up looking like an immortal idiot. Dan: Oh I forgot about that. Till this day I wasn't able to divorce him- Danny did you know we can't count as widows since we're partcially dead? Danny: YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN?! Dan: In defense, half of the world was destroyed at this point in my timeline, so I didn't think it would happen to you. My marriage to Bruce was entirely blown out of proportion. World leaders should have focused more on the menace tearing the world apart. Danny: YOU WERE THE MENACE. Dani: Wait does this mean Danny is sleeping with Dan's husband? Dan: *Gasp* It seems my greatest enemy was myself all along. Danny: There is no sleeping with anyone! Jazz: So, going back to the hot tub- will wine be provided or should I go get my own? Danny: I don't know what I bother hosting siblings night. Get out my house. Dan/Dani/Jazz: No. Danny: I hate you all.
