#what the hell did i just make?

[raointean]

Eärendil and Fam Modern AU

Eärendil is born in Croatia in the late 60s/early 70s

In first grade (or whatever the Yugoslavian equivalent is), he meets Elwing

Being the only two biracial kids in their little elementary school, they quickly become best friends

To absolutely no one's surprise, they start dating in high school

It's all great! ...until Elwing gets pregnant senior year (again, or whatever the Yugoslavian equivalent is)

Eärendil marries her and all's well that ends well

...until the fighting starts in Croatia

They make plans to immigrate to America (Eärendil's parents moved a few years prior, not long after President Tito died, and Elwing is an orphan so there's nothing really tying them to the country)

There's an attack the day they leave and Elrond and Elros are lost in the chaos, but they don't realize it until it's too late

The moment they get off the plane,they start calling everyone they know and asking them to check the orphanages and hospitals

After two days of no news, Eärendil and Elwing (reasonably) conclude that their children died in the attack

(Maglor, the second-in-command of a Serbian rebel group in Croatia, finds two little boys wandering through the rubble and takes pity on them, and love grew between them as little might be thought)

Eärendil and Elwing stay with Tuor and Idril for a while while they grieve and try to get on their feet as refugees in a new country

Elwing finds a job in a bird sanctuary and her coworkers swear up and down she must be part bird herself

(She maintains the birds speak Croatian and not English)

Eärendil finds a job as a truck driver and ends up LOVING it!

He likes the relative solitude, the weird hours, and the fact that he can GO and SEE

They have a few more children, but never forget the twins

They leave two empty seats for them at all holiday dinners

Fast forward several years, and their surprised to hear of a business owner in the Caribbean named Elros that shares their last name and is from Croatia

They do some digging into his background and sure enough, he's from their hometown, has a twin brother (who's a professor of literature), and was "orphaned" during the same attack they lost their sons to

They reach out to him and explain what happened and their theories

Elros explains his side of the story and asks why they never looked for them

They insist that they did look, but in the chaos that was 90's Yugoslavia, they couldn't find them and thought they were dead

Elros accepts the explanation and cc's Elrond in the email after a quick text conversation

"Hey, I found our parents. They're not dead." "wtf" "Yeah, they live in America now." "WTF!?"

They talk about what all they've been doing

Elrond tells them about how he met his wife (a botanist) and about their kids: Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen

Elros tells them about his wife (who was formerly his secretary until they started seriously dating, now she's the CFO to his CEO) and their son, Aragorn

Eärendil and Elwing invite them to Christmas

For the first time in 30 years, there are no empty chairs at the table

(At one point during the visit, Arwen declares she's going to marry Aragorn. Never has a "no" from six people been so synchronized.)

And everyone lived happily ever after. "But they're all still mortal" AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!

"I just think about the time we've spent together, and I start to fantasize about the way things could've been, about different choices and every little thing that's come our way, and those thoughts fade into a dream as I slip off to sleep to the sound of your breathing."

It irritates me alot when people say that making medic more compassionate is ''missing the point of his character'' when he is literally shown to be in the comics.... did you miss the part where he showed concern for both sniper and miss pauling's well being in comic 5 and 6.

His actions are a combination of genuine attachment + clinical interest and these things do not cancel out one another. He is always pushing boundaries and going against the grain and i think this is what led to him losing his license in the first place. He felt stifled by the rules imposed on him.

He is shown to be extremely passionate so it makes sense that he would use his endless fascination with medicine as a way to show his affection. He loves his friends so he will find a way to make them borderline indestructible. Malpractice is his love language.

george rexstrew deserves awards for many things but i have to say. edwin’s bloodcurdling scream as niko gets killed deserves a whole award unto itself. like. that scream did not feel at all like a tv show scream. to a somewhat jarring degree. and i can’t express how much I respect that

Prompt 301

Ellie, during one of her stints of what do I do with my life right now, decides to, with the help of her Original Dad-Person (Look he’s aging and she’s not and it gets less questions the older he gets if he says daughter instead of sister with how the Fentons are getting older too) creates a Boo-Tube channel. No, not a Youtube channel, those are stuck to a single dimension.

Bootube on the other hand? Due to being through the Realms (and wow is Tucker getting so much income from creating it) is interdimensional. Which is so cool honestly. And she doesn’t know what to do at first, and honestly there’s already so many travel blogs that she kind of just… decided to do something that she wished someone had done for her and her brothers and Danny when she was new to the world. 

So she creates the channel CAAW: Clone Awareness, Accommodations, and Welfare. They had to learn things through trial and error, but maybe she can help someone out there learn how to find their own selves, or even help someone not melt.

I got a really tough question.

What’s your favorite Twst event of ALL TIME?

I like Harveston

this truly is the hardest question. :( but after much consideration, I think Endless Halloween Night wins out for me, because it's nonstop Characters Being Silly the whole way through. the whole thing is just lots of these little dorks having the most ridiculous interactions, which is always my favorite! and of course the big twist is SO delightfully stupid and doubles down SO hard that it becomes AMAZING and I 100% unironically adore it. AND it's Halloween! everyone is in their cute little costumes and having a spooky adventure! it's great!

however, I am ALSO a big fan of the Harveston event! how can I not be! everyone is wearing comfy winter outfits and getting along really weirdly well with Epel's grandma and he's getting a little worried about that! my terrible loud son sews a plush squirrel and then gives it a silly little nickname and refuses to leave it behind when it breaks! the ending shot with the sled! I LOVE IT.

obviously we need the best of both worlds now

Where the hell did this man get fire. Did he chop the wood himself?? Does he just carry matches around up his ass just in case he needs to ponder something?

Where the fuck even is he

[valtsv]

do you ever think of me and my two hands, and wonder why they never soothed your fevers? and wonder why they never tied your shoes? and wonder why they never held you gently?

in other news i'm still in hell with these two
