When I started reading AFTG there were two characters that I did not like or dislike. They were there for a purpose and that was okm their purpose fulfilled and that was fine.

They were Renee (yeah, scream, I'm going to hell anyway) and Aaron.

And then I fully entered into the aftg fandom and suddenly Aaron was pictured as homophobic in a lot of fanfics and texts and I thought it was a generalized head cannon. But then Sir and King introduced me into the extra content. Because I read an Andreil fanfic where they were and I was like no way someone just named this cats like this in a hurt/comfort and no humoristic fanfic. So I search them and i founded Nora extra content.

And I found out that Andrew was misogynist and Aaron homophobic, like canonical.

And I was like WTF?

I must say that I read the books in English which is not my first language, so I thought that maybe I was skipping something. I read them again, but I couldn't find evidence. Maybe I was too deep into the plot.

Never mind, Aaron wasn't a character I cared about anyway.

But then Idk why I was just watching antiAaron things. Not only about his homophobia but also about how he was horrible and terrible towards Andrew.

Excuse me sir?

THEY ARE HORRIBLE WITH EACH OTHER (apart from a toxic relationship).

Like that time "Maybe he's afraid she'll die on him like the last woman he really loved."

Oh sorry, everyone is so OK with Andrew killing Tilda. And I wouldn't be honest if I said that I wasn't OK with it either. But you know. I try to emphasize with Aaron's situation. He wasn't even mentioning Tilda. They were talking about Katelyn. But Andrew knew were to attack for it to hurt.

And I'm not trying to spread hate towards Andrew for God's sake he's my third favorite character (just Neil and Matt above him) but it infuriate me that whenever I came to any content hating Aaron for being canonically homophobic have nothing to sat about Andrew being canonically misogynist.

So I said to myself ok Val, just read again the books pay a lot of attention. Maybe they are homophobic and misogynist respectively.

So I read the books. Again I couldn't see anything. And you know. I started defending Aaron (you know bc no one was messing with Andrew. If not I would do exactly the same with him) and making an analysis on his character, but after some time and reading a lot of bad stuff posted by lots of people I started feeling insecure.

I'm bisexual, Was me actually defending a FUCKING HOMOPHOBIC? Like no a more grown up Aaron who has learned and drop his homophobia (it can happen baby. You can be homophobic and then through education and self work and friends you can get rid of that horrible illness called homophobia. My best friend for instance)

So today I said OK, lets see If I can found someone with actually evidences on all of this.

And oh men. The first tumbrl post I read made me feel like the first time someone tried defending Severus Snape of bullying literal child's. And joining the wizard Nazi club.

It had screen shots, so I was like oh shit, it's real I fucked up. This one has evidence and I'm really bad at English if all of this (it has a lot of screen shots) has past my filter. And then I started reading and with just the first one I was fuming

Yeah... so everybody knew that Kevin had a girlfriend, and yes I don't approve or think TheaxKevin is a good or healthy relationship. It stands between that thin line of pedophilia and grooming. But that's not the point. The point is that Nicky is literally sexual harassing not just Kevin but also Neil. And yeah. IT'S CREEPY.

The next screen shot made me even more furious:

And they just say "Aaron about Nicky offering to have a threesome with Neil and Erik"

The scene itself infuriate me. Because it's AGAIN sexual harassment, and in a non appropriate place to say the least. And not with an appropriate crowd (his COUSIN).

Was Nicky being fucking weird? Yes.

I don't know how extended is this word to insult the LGBT+ Comunity so I'm not going to defend it. So yeah, It could be a hint of Aaron homophobia or Aaron asking his cousins to cut the crap.

Oh. You don't want to know anything about your brother hooking up with your ex-boss? Well that's weird. I would love to know all the details.

Anddd yeah. This could be homophobia or Aaron hate towards Neil. And if I hadn't readed the times three times I would have choose the homophobia.

But just watching Neil's and Aaron interactions (for three times. Four bc now I'm reading them in Spanish) is more the latest option (at least for me).

Now. I'm not going to share the cabin scene. Because we all hated Aaron in that one and in my personal opinion he was being the same shit to Neil as Andrew was to Katelyn later.

And yeah. Calling a Neil a rapist is not the same as calling Katelyn a tumor. But Andrew has lived through a lot, and I get Aaron trying to find out if his brother was being forced by Nein in any way.

So yeah. I was shock to say the least about how a lot of explanations of Aaron being homophobic was literally trying to stop Nicky in his sexual harassment thing.

But yes. There were scenes potentially homophobic down there. But I couldn't just buy it. Because if Aaron is homophobic how it comes that the person he is closer to is Nicky. Shouldn't it be Kevin?

If he is so homophobic why he stepped between when Seth insulted Nicky?

#aaron minyard #andrew minyard #neil josten #renee walker #dan wilds #david wymack #kevin day #matt boyd #allison reynolds #nicky hemmick

The power of the Butterfly Miraculous was originally supposed to create superheroes and not supervillains as we found out from Nooroo (“Origins Part 1:Ladybug and Cat Noir”), but it still goes into effect no matter what the intentions are. Like the metamorphosis of the butterfly, Gabe has gone through a few transformations to suit his look from Hawk Moth to Scarlet Moth (Heroes’ Day Part 1:Catalyst) to Shadow Moth (Season 4) to now Monarch! He has gotten more powerful as well from obtaining almost all the miraculouses and it just gets worse from there onward! How much worse? You’ll see:

The Kwamis’ Choice

*Part 1:Transmission-Which ship is best for Marinette? Adrienette? ❌ Lukanette? ❌ How ‘bout Marichat!? ❌ Oh yeah, right, (hisses through grind teeth in embarrassment)😬from last eps ending, that didn’t work out either. Sh*t! Adrien doesn’t have much luck either. He’s strictly platonic with Adrigami and Ladynoir, but he’s trying for Adrienette and it’s not happenin’! The Love Squares in reverse and nobody’s together, they don’t have secondary love interests to move on to and they’re miserable! What are they to do!? The Kwami’s! They’ll know what to do! How do you solve your holders love life problem from their superhero duties? Quit being their Kwami and find new holders! WITH PERMISSION OF COURSE! (this is why Nooroo was stuck with Gabe for so long). Who’s the new Ladybug Miraculous holder? Alya! (trumpets sound) When she was Scarabella! (“Hack-San”) Who’s the new Black Cat holder? Nin-(record scratch) Wait! WTF!? Zoe!? (trumpets sound confused)…….okay. Everyone! Meet-! (trumpets about to sound) Idk (trumpets halt). Well, whatever she named herself, They got this. Especially since they took care of that akumatized victim, a boxer with a Hulk speech impediment, that clashed with Alyas older sister Nora, Boubi I mean Bibou, a giant gold boxer bear, w/ the power of the Tiger, Horse, Turtle! Ox! Mous-HEY! HEY! Whoa! Whoa! Easy there Monarch! You’re passing out miraculouses not candy! Oh whatever! The new dynamic duo handled it and Adrienette just might be happenin’.

————————————

*Part 2:Deflagration-Bad news, the new dynamic duo didn’t get the memo on the no alliance rings cuz that’s how Monarch found out who they were from what Marinette learned (“Jubilation”) :P. Sh*t! This lead Gabe to do a “happy dance” XD. WFT!? Which made him combine a few miraculous powers to snatch it from Scarabella and Kitty Noir! (so that’s her name) and become Monarchbug! Don! Don! Don! Sooooooo, does that mean the shows over? But we’re a quarter of a way in the season! Monarch couldn’t be that powerful! Course he’s not that powerful! Even w/out our new dynamic duo there’s still heroes out there. Ones that don’t need powers or costumes to be super. Who were those? Didn’t Marinette’s friends create some sort of group that fights against the akumatizations of Monarch? Was that just a one off joke or were they being serious?…….Oh wait! The Resistance! (“Illusion”) That’s the one! Yeah, they got this. For the akuma victim, it was just Chloe becoming Sole Destroyer. Just a cheap knock-off of Zoe’s Sole Crusher which Monarch just used as an excuse to trap Alya and Zoe. Sole Destroyers power in this case was turning people into shoes that sang Chloe’s praises Blah! Blah! Blah! That was Season 5 of Chloe’s akumatization and it’s the weakest of her forms used only a set-up for a bigger villain :P. The real bad guy was Monarchbug and that was more important. Despite the miraculouses however, the Kwami’s had their free will to fight against him and even stop him from being too powerful. Yea Kwami’s! They knew better then to comply to him and saw some loopholes in his scheme. Smart.

I have to admit, I thought the whole idea of Adrienette giving up being heroes was pretty selfish cuz they gave up just so they can “frick frack”. There’s a super terrorist out with almost all the miraculouses that’s gone completely insane and can damage the town and it’s civilians and alls our main characters can think about was their “silly little love lives”. This ain’t no picnic! It’s responsibilities! Putting other people’s needs before your own so as to save them from chaos and destruction! Then again, a friend of mine pointed out that it wasn’t just because of shipping, but if both are too depressed (cuz both have extreme low self esteem), then they won’t be motivated to stop Monarch and likely get akumatized which will all end in disaster, so it wasn’t for personal petty problems, it was for the greater good so they won’t struggle so much and finally be happy. We found out something new about Monarch here! He can see the negative feelings projected to him from his victims and he can pass out more than one miraculous power not just to the alliance ring, but if the victim in question wears a lot of rings! Damn! Told ya the guys getting worse! You’re probably wondering, “Why Zoe as the Black Cat Miraculous holder and not Nino!?”, “Why does she look like that in superhero form!?”. Well, for the former, Plagg didn’t choose Nino cuz since Tikki chose Alya as the new Ladybug Miraculous holder and a couple should never ever be paired together cuz well, GO BACK AND WATCH “CAT BLANC”/“EPHEMERAL”/“SHADOW MOTH’S FINAL ATTACK PART 2:STRIKE BACK”! GOD DAMN IT! COUPLES CAN’T BE SUPERHEROES! FOR CHRISTS SAKE! ADRIEN ADMITTED HIS FEELINGS FOR MARINETTE AND VICE VERSA, BUT SHE ALSO SAID SHE “DOESN’T LOVE HIM” ANYMORE AND THEY’RE STILL NOT TOGETHER!🤬. More importantly, it’s cuz she’s also more rational compared to her super shippers aboard the S.S. Adrienette. As for the latter, that’s you’re opinion if you think it looks good on her or not. The miraculous let’s you choose how you wish to look as a superhero and if Zoe likes having green highlights/lipstick, then that’s her thing. For me, I think it’s okay. This show is seriously married to the reset button isn’t it? With the near victory Monarchbug almost had, the Kwami’s and heroes realized that they need to keep things traditional and Adrienette is back to being docked. Even w/out the pressures of superherohood, Marinette still couldn’t make the ship sail (to the point of being physically unable to itself) and now is again sad and alone :(. We could’ve had a whole half a season-No! Wait! A whole new format of “Miraculous Ladybug” with Scarabella and Kitty Noir, but nooooooo! As tvtropes would say, “Status Quo Is God”! The writers are allergic to change. Course they’d write a scenario on why this couldn’t be the new show! It’s an excuse to go back to basics! :P. However, would it have been better? If they did go with the change, then the show would be renamed “Miraculous Scarabella” (shrugs). Also, I think we’d miss our original dynamic duo too much😅. Eps are coming out like tennis balls from a shooting machine, so I have a lot to catch up on. 🚨SPOILER ALERT!🚨I’ve been spoiled!😫. Oh well, see you guys when the English Dubs come out!

Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s Spite Playlist: Remix CH12

It’s ya boooooy! Malin is here!! Super huge shout out to @salty-french-fry for bringing him to life. I commissioned her to draw all of my OC hero babies, so you can see Malin in all of his anime boy glory here! We stan a trans bicon. And for those who are unaware, Malin is another name for fox in French, but like with the connotation of calling someone sly or tricky. I hope you all enjoy this chapter! I tweaked it quite a bit from the original. ;)

Previous First Next AO3

------------------------

Chapter 12: WTF Do I Know

“I know our duty is to the city, but I can’t help these feelings stirring my heart. Every time I see her brilliant blue eyes shining in the moonlight, I am overcome with passion and admiration. She truly is Miraculous.” Eliott looked to Marinette sitting cross-legged on the floor for approval. “How was that?”

“Incredible! You really have Chat Noir down,” she said.

Eliott rubbed the back of his neck. “Thanks, but I still feel like I could do better. Opening night is only a week away, and I’m playing one of the leads. Everything has to be perfect.” He paced the length of the stage, adjusting his black mask.

“I’m sure you’ll be fine. You make a wonderfully convincing Chat Noir.” She assured him—and she should know.

“Wonderfully convincing isn’t perfect. This play is a tribute to Ladybug and Chat Noir’s triumph on Heroes’ Day. If I screw up then I’ll be dishonoring them.” He turned and gestured to the impressive backdrop of the Eiffel Tower.

“No, you won’t.” Marinette stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder. “You’re an amazing actor, and I know you’re gonna kill it.”

“Places in five everyone!” The director swept through the stage.

Stagehands rushed around the set. Costume designers made last-minute alterations, and each prop was meticulously tested and placed for ease of access during scene changes. Marinette never realized how chaotic theater was behind the scenes.

Eliott let a deep breath past his lips, and Marinette offered him a smile. “I’ll be watching in the audience. You’re gonna do great.”

“Thanks, Marinette,” he said. “And thanks for coming to watch our dress rehearsal.”

“Thanks for inviting me.”

“Sorry I’m so crazy about everything, I just want to be the best.” He fiddled with his gloves. “I’ve been studying English since I was little because my dream is to perform on Broadway. I know it’s a long shot, but it’s what I’ve wanted ever since my grandma and I watched a play together when I was a kid.”

“You’ll get there, and I’ll be sitting in the front row with Macy, Martin, and Adrien.”

Eliott smiled at that, pressing a soft kiss to her knuckles. “I actually owe you, Marinette. You’ve helped me a lot as an actor since we met.”

“Me? How?”

“You taught me to take risks. Before I met you, I was just coasting through life, staying out of the way, playing it safe, but now I can stand up for other people and speak out,” he explained. “You helped me find the courage to step outside my comfort zone.”

Her cheeks burned, but she smiled at the sentiment. All of her new friends gave praise so easily—something Marinette wasn’t used to. Helping others wasn’t about getting rewarded, and in most cases, the attention just made her squirm. She helped her friends because she cared. Although, even if their compliments embarrassed her, it was nice to know she was appreciated.

“Watch where you’re going!” A nasally voice grabbed their attention.

“Sorry!” A tiny stagehand shrank under the icy glare of her aggressor.

Eliott sprang into action to diffuse the situation. “Margot, is there a problem?”

“She bumped into me! Can you imagine if I had fallen and broken my wrist a week before opening night? How can I play Ladybug with a broken wrist?” Margot shouted.

Eliott stepped between her and the stagehand, holding up defensive hands. “I’m sure it was just an accident. No one got hurt, so why don’t you go cool off? We’re almost ready to start.”

“Ugh, whatever. Just stay out of my way!”

As she stalked off, Eliott turned to the small girl. “Are you okay, Lisette?”

“You know my name?” Her eyes widened.

“Of course. You hand me my props before I go on stage,” he said. “Don’t let Margot get to you. She’s just nervous because the show is in a week, and it’s her first time playing a lead.”

“It was my fault. I wasn’t watching where I was going,” Lisette said.

Eliott tucked a strand of her blonde hair back into place, brushing her cheek with his thumb. “Hey, don’t worry about it. We’re all a little high strung right now.”

“You’re not.”

Eliott flashed her a playful grin. “I’m a good actor.”

“I know,” she said, and when Eliott quirked a brow she fumbled to add, “I-I’ve kind of had to watch you for the past several months. You’re really good.”

“Wow, thanks, Lisette. I’m flattered that a pretty girl like you is a fan of mine,” Eliott said.

Her cheeks flushed, and she gave a small nod before scurrying off to her position at the director’s order.

Marinette couldn’t help the smile on her lips as Eliott found his mark and took a few deep breaths to center himself. He’d grown a lot since they met, and if someone had to play Chat Noir, she was glad it was him. She’d been uncertain at first, but Eliott really was worthy of being a hero, even if his costar was the worst. How could they cast such a brat to play Ladybug?

Taking her seat in the audience, Marinette thought back to her encounter with Gabrielle several nights prior. True to her word, Gabrielle hadn’t bothered them since, but what she was doing out on her own like that? And what was up with the apron in her bag? Something fishy was going on with her, but at least she was keeping her word. It was about time Marinette got some peace and quiet.

♪♫♪ I’m Not Calling You a Liar ♪♫♪

When the school bell rang, Alya remained seated, lips pursed. Her other classmates gathered their backpacks, eager to enjoy their weekend plans. Adrien paid her no mind as he slung his bag over his shoulder and followed everyone else out. They hadn’t spoken since their last encounter, and Alya still wasn’t sure what to think. He sounded so sure of himself. After being friends with Marinette, she knew far more about Adrien Agreste than she ever cared to, and truthfully, Alya didn’t think he was capable of being malicious.

Don’t believe everything Lila tells you. Be a journalist. Investigate.

But how? It’s not like Alya could just call up a bunch of celebrities and foreign princes to ask them to corroborate all of Lila’s stories, and even if she could, what would Lila think if they proved Adrien wrong? Or worse, what would Alya think if they proved him right? If they proved Marinette right…

It had been two weeks since she left. Two weeks since they… Alya had been hurt at first, and her heart still ached thinking about it now. In the grand scheme of things, she hadn’t known Marinette that long—only a few months—so it was possible that there were things Alya didn’t know about her. Dark secrets she kept hidden. But if that were possible for Marinette, couldn’t the same be true for Lila? And why was Alya so afraid to go looking?

“Alya? Did you hear me?”

She blinked out of her trance. “Sorry, what?”

“You’ve been awfully spacey lately,” Lila remarked. “I was just saying that I have an important meeting today with my youth ambassadors committee. Clara Nightingale has promised to sponsor our clean water initiative, and today’s the only day we can meet with her. Is there any way you can take care of that thing Mlle. Bustier needed for me?”

Don’t believe her.

“Actually, Lila, I have to go pick up my little sisters because Nora has practice this afternoon, and Mlle. Bustier did ask you to do it,” Alya said.

Lila’s eyebrows raised, but just as quickly, she puckered her lips into a pout. “Is there any way you could have Nino pick up your sisters? This meeting is really important.”

“Nino promised Juleka he’d help Kitty Section with their sound system today so they can practice before their gig this weekend.” Her heart pounded as Lila’s lip twitched.

“I mean, I guess I can put off my meeting. Those kids in India will just have to go a little while longer without clean drinking water…” Lila eyed her.

“Ya know, if you’re too busy to keep up with your class rep stuff, you can always tell Mlle. Bustier to let us elect someone else. I’m sure everyone would understand,” Alya said pointedly.

“And let Chloe become the class rep again? I couldn’t do that to you guys.” Lila shook her head.

“True, but I can’t cover for you all the time. I have my own stuff going on. Maybe I’m not saving third world countries, but sometimes I have a life to live too,” Alya said. “You were elected to do all of this, you know.”

“No, I understand,” Lila sighed. “I’ve been putting too much pressure on you to do my job. It’s just so hard to juggle going to school and saving the world. I’ll figure out a way to do it for all of you because you’re my friends, and my friends are just as important to me as any starving, third-world country.”

“Good. I’m glad to hear that you’ll be putting in more effort.” Alya stood up. “Have a good weekend.”

“Oh, I’m sure my weekend will be better than those thirsty children in Iran.”

Alya stopped in the doorway. “Don’t you mean in India?”

“What?”

“Earlier you said the meeting was for children in India. Now you just said Iran,” Alya said.

“Oh, yeah, that’s what I meant,” Lila said. “I have a different thing for Iran next week. It’s hard to keep everything straight when you’re so busy.”

“Right.” Alya’s eyes narrowed. “Well, good luck.”

“Give your sisters a hug for me!”

Alya’s hands shook as she headed up the hall. It was probably nothing, just a simple mix up like she said, but… Given the circumstances, it was a little suspicious. One thing was certain: Alya would be keeping an eye on her.

♪♫♪ Thnks fr th Mmrs ♪♫♪

“Your rehearsal was amazing,” Marinette said afterward over tea. “Well, except for Margot’s prop mishap. I thought she was going to have a meltdown.”

Eliott stirred his drink with a smirk. “She’s a great actress until something goes wrong,” he chuckled. “I just feel bad for Lisette. She looked like she wanted to kill her.”

“Speaking of Lisette…” Marinette gave him a knowing look. “I think she might have a crush on you.”

“Lisette? Nah.” Eliott averted his gaze, taking a sip of his tea. “I’m not anyone important. There’s no way she’d be into me.”

“That’s not true. You’re an amazing actor,” Marinette said. “I mean that, you don’t have anything to worry about.”

“Thanks, I guess the thought of someone liking me just makes me nervous.” He bit his lip.

“Come on. You flirt with everyone all the time,” Marinette said. “You flirted with me on my first day of school.”

“Flirting is different. Just because I flirt with people doesn’t mean they have to like me back,” he said, then biting his lip, added, “Do you really think she likes me?”

“As someone who struggles to get two coherent sentences out around the boy she likes, I think she likes you more than you know,” Marinette said.

“Speaking of… You and Adrien sure seem to get along.” He sipped his tea with a satisfied smirk as Marinette’s cheeks burned. He didn’t waste any time flipping the script, but it was her fault for opening that door.

“Oh, do we? I mean, of course we do. We’re just friends, I don’t have feelings for him at all,” she said with a nervous titter.

“I never said you did,” Eliott said.

“Oh, um, yeah, well then I- don’t tell Macy.” She hung her head in defeat.

“Your secret’s safe with me.” He shrugged. “But you don’t have to worry about Macy’s crush. It’s superficial. She fixates on some famous guy for a while, then moves on when something new catches her eye.”

Marinette relaxed. “Good. I’ve just liked Adrien for a long time, and ever since I left my old school, he’s been paying more attention to me, so…I don’t want it to come between us.”

“Nah, I’m sure if she knew she’d back off,” Eliott assured her. “She’s extremely loyal to her friends and would never try to take away something you wanted even if she wants it too. One time she and I argued for twenty minutes because she convinced herself I wanted the last cookie on the plate. We ended up breaking it in half.”

“That’s a relief.” Marinette let out a breath.

“Though I do have to wonder which sounds better, Marinette Agreste or Adrien Dupain-Cheng?”

Marinette nearly choked on her tea. “Eliott!”

“I’m kinda partial to Adrien Dupain-Cheng myself.”

“Stop!” She covered her face, cheeks burning, and Eliott threw his head back with a laugh.

A herd of people stampeded up the sidewalk right before a loud crash sounded a few blocks over. Debris fell from the ceiling, and Eliott tackled Marinette to the ground, cradling her head.

“That sounded close, we should run.” He pulled her to her feet. “My yacht isn’t far from here, we can hide there.”

As much as she hated to do it, Marinette needed to get away. Gradually, she let herself slip from his grasp in the crowd. Eliott turned over his shoulder in an attempt to reach her again, but too many people stood between them.

“Marinette!”

“Go! I’ll catch up,” she called.

His eyebrows furrowed worriedly, but he pressed on without question.

Marinette ducked into a nearby alley and opened her purse. “Ready, Tikki? Transform me!”

Ladybug tossed her yoyo across the street, tugging the slack and launching herself into the rooftops. Racing down the row of buildings, she followed the civilian trail to the scene of the attack. Overturned cars and broken windows signaled that she was on the right track, and she arrived at the same time as Chat Noir.

“Well, well we meet again, m’lady.” His flirtatious lilt echoed between the buildings as he staff-coptered down to join her.

“I would hope so since saving the city is our job.” She flicked his bell. “I think it’s about time we clocked in, don’t you?”

“Ladies first.” Chat Noir bowed as Ladybug tossed her yoyo and shot into action. “Don’t mean to interrupt your tirade, but I’m gonna need to see some license and registration for that car,” he said as they landed. “What’s the matter? Rough break up?”

The akuma turned to them with a growl, tossing the car aside, and Ladybug spotted a small blonde girl cowering underneath.

“Civilian alert!”

“On it.” Chat Noir charged forward, brandishing his staff.

“Ladybug! Chat Noir! I am Showstopper, and I’m about to give Paris the performance of a lifetime after I get rid of her.”

The small girl on the ground cowered under Showstopper’s glare, her blonde buns oddly familiar…

Ladybug gasped. “That’s Lisette which means Showstopper must be Margot! She really was upset by that mistake.”

Lisette attempted to run, but Showstopper served a ball of light at her with the tennis racket—the lucky charm prop from the play and likely where the akuma was hiding. The attack froze Lisette in place, but before Showstopper could make her next move, she blocked a blow from Chat Noir’s staff. A few seconds passed, and the magic faded, sending Lisette toppling forward.

“So that’s it,” Ladybug said, then to Chat Noir called, “Don’t let her hit you, or she’ll freeze you for a few seconds!”

“Got it!” He dodged an orb.

Once Showstopper drove him back several paces, she dashed after Lisette, launching a bus to the end of the street to block the exit.

“Going somewhere?”

“No, but you are.” Ladybug hooked her yoyo around Showstopper’s ankle. Showstopper lobbed several orbs at her before she could pull the slack, and Ladybug backflipped out of the way, diving for cover with Chat Noir behind two flipped cars.

“We need a plan to get that girl out of here.” He peeked over the side.

Ladybug palmed her yoyo. “Lucky Charm!” Her eyebrows raised as a paper lantern landed in her hands.

“Oh great, you can light the way for her to wreck that girl,” Chat Noir said.

Ladybug pursed her lips contemplatively. “I need to go to Master Fu,” she said. “Can you handle things until I get back?”

“Just don’t keep me waiting too long.” Chat Noir nodded before they broke off.

Leaving in the middle of a battle was always risky, but this wasn’t a fight they could win alone. She just hoped that she could find an ally in time.

“Master Fu?” Marinette knocked, peeking her head inside.

“What is it, Marinette?” He glanced up from his book.

“I need to borrow a Miraculous to win this battle.”

Master Fu retrieved the Miracle Box from the phonograph and placed it on the mat in front of her. “Have you found someone you trust to wield it?”

Marinette contemplated her choices carefully, running strategies in her head. After she and Alya split up, she wasn’t sure she’d ever trust someone enough to replace Rena Rouge, but her new friends proved her wrong. Taking a deep breath, she nodded and reached for the fox. “I know exactly who to pick, and I won’t let you down this time.”

Master Fu offered her one of his proud, grandfatherly smiles. “You never have. I have always had faith in you, Marinette.”

Her chest swirled with pride as she stood up. “Transform me.”

Eliott’s yacht was empty when Ladybug touched down on the deck. He told Marinette to hide there, so she’d been certain it was where he’d be. Then again, Eliott wasn’t the same cowardly boy he’d been when they met, and he didn’t turn his back on a friend. She knew where to find him.

“Marinette?” His voice echoed between the buildings of the abandoned street, and he flinched when Ladybug landed behind him. “Ladybug! Thank goodness, have you seen my friend Marinette? We got separated, and I told her to meet at my yacht, but-”

“Don’t worry. She’s safe,” Ladybug said. “Actually, I need your help.”

“My help?” He arched a brow. “I mean, sure, I'll do anything.”

“Eliott Chasse, this is the Miraculous of the fox which grants the power of illusion. You will use it to fight for the greater good.” She extended the box to him.

“Whoa, you're giving me a Miraculous?” he gasped. “But wait, why me? What happened to Rena Rouge?”

“She's...not around.” Ladybug averted her gaze. “Will you help me?”

“I-I dunno. I think my friend Marinette would be way better at this than me.” He rubbed the back of his neck.

“Eliott…” Ladybug smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder. “You are the right person for this job. Have courage and believe in yourself. That's all you need to be a superhero.”

Eliott pressed his lips together, then accepted the box with a nod. Shielding his eyes from the bright light, he gaped in disbelief as Trixx materialized. “Whoa!”

“My name’s Trixx. I’m a kwami, and if you want to transform all you have to say is ‘Trixx, transform me!’” she explained as Eliott fastened the clasp of the necklace.

“Alright then. Trixx, transform me!” When the orange light faded, Eliott examined his orange and white suit with wide eyes. “Wait, is this really happening?”

“Do you know how your powers work?” Ladybug asked. There was no time to waste.

“Of course. I studied news footage in preparation for my role as Chat Noir in an upcoming play. I wanted to accurately portray the team's dynamic,” he said.

“Good, then follow me.”

Ladybug tossed her yoyo and shot off. Eliott hesitated only briefly, taking a few steps before leaping over the building after her. He touched down lightly beside her before they shot off again.

“I know it's a lot to take in, but we don't have a lot of time,” Ladybug said. She pulled up the news coverage of the akuma. Showstopper had taken the battle all the way to the Eiffel Tower. She skidded to a stop behind a chimney and closed her yoyo. “Hmm…Lucky Charm!”

“A bottle of soap? At least the villain will be squeaky clean?” Eliott shrugged.

Ladybug turned it over in her hands, a plan forming in her mind. “Okay, here’s what we’ll do.”

- - -

Showstopper held a frozen Lisette over the edge, and Chat Noir held up defensive hands as he attempted to negotiate.

“Hand over your Miraculous, or I'll drop her!”

“Maybe we can come to a compromise,” he reasoned, but Showstopper was in no mood.

“You have five seconds. One!”

“There has to be something else you want.”

“Two.”

“After all this is murder we're talking about.”

“Three!”

“I'm sure she didn't mean any harm.”

“Four!”

“Ladybug, hurry up!”

“Five!”

Before Chat could react, Showstopper released her grip, sending Lisette plunging toward her doom. Chat Noir attempted to dive after her, but Showstopper pitched another orb at him. To his relief, Ladybug swung in to deflect it just in time, but there was no time for gratitude.

“Ladybug! The girl!”

“Already taken care of,” she assured him.

- - -

Lisette unfroze midway down, eyes widening in fear as the ground grew closer. Just as a scream reached her throat, Eliott caught her, carrying her safely back to the Eiffel Tower. Her screams echoed across the bars as she clung to him for dear life, but they quieted the moment she looked into his eyes.

“Falling from heaven, angel?” He set her down gently. “Stay hidden. Showstopper can't see you if we want our plan to work.”

She blinked in shock, cheeks flushing. “Wait!” She caught his wrist as he turned to leave. “W-Who are you?”

“Uh… Call me Malin.” He winked, giving a two-finger salute before leaping up to the rafters.

Malin summoned his Mirage on the way up, cheeks still hot. Now wasn’t the time to worry about what Lisette thought of him. First, he needed to save her.

“You're too late!” Showstopper proclaimed, and Malin cleared his throat.

“Are we?” He clocked a brow.

Showstopper spun around where Malin held his fake damsel. “No!” she growled.

“New friend?” Chat Noir sized him up.

“I'll tell you later,” Ladybug said.

Malin set his illusion free with instructions to run, and as expected, Showstopper gave chase. Ladybug really was a wizard at coming up with plans. When Chat Noir moved to follow, Malin stepped in front of him with a wink.

“Who are you?” he asked, eyes narrowing.

“Name's Malin, and you are one foxy feline in person, Chat Noir.” He looked him up and down.

“Less flirting, more running. Phase two,” Ladybug ordered. “Kitty, follow me and get ready to use your Cataclysm. Malin, you know what to do.”

“On it.” Malin nodded, leaping back over the edge with a whoop.

Showstopper pursued the fake Lisette to the second-floor restaurants, falling right into their trap. She skidded against the soapy floor as Malin's illusion faded before her eyes. A broom perched between two chairs clotheslined her, sending her tennis racket flying from her grasp right into Chat Noir's waiting Cataclysm.

Malin helped Margot up as Ladybug captured the akuma and returned everything to normal. “Seriously, losing your cool over a prop malfunction is so lame.” He chided. “You're playing Ladybug, so my suggestion is: take a lesson from the real thing and let go of that bad energy.”

Lisette peeked up from the stairs timidly, pacing over to join them. “I'm sorry your yoyo string was tangled. I should have checked it,” she said.

“Yeah, whatever.” Margot rolled her eyes. “Sorry I tried to throw you off the Eiffel Tower.”

“Technically, you did throw her off the Eiffel Tower,” Chat Noir said pointedly.

“You were awesome, Malin.” Ladybug nudged him with her elbow.

“It was your plan, all I did was help.” He rubbed the back of his neck.

Ladybug shook her head. “You saved this girl, and we couldn't have done it without you. Be proud. You're a true superhero.”

Malin bit back a smile, surveying his suit and squaring his shoulders with a new sense of purpose. Ladybug was right. He had his doubts when she asked him because he still had a long way to go before he would consider himself an actual hero. If anyone deserved the title without a Miraculous, it was Marinette, and he owed this opportunity to her. He never would have had the courage to accept Ladybug’s offer without her. It was a shame she’d never know how much she truly changed his life. Maybe one day he could tell her this secret, but for now, he’d wear his secret identity like an invisible badge of honor.

“Pound it!” The three heroes said in unison.

Malin turned to Lisette and bowed formally. “Perhaps I will save you again someday,” he said.

Lisette bit her lip before stretching up to kiss his cheek. “Thank you,” she whispered.

Ladybug took his wrist and toted him off as a dopey grin spread across his lips. They retreated to a private corner at the base of the tower, and Malin returned the necklace to Ladybug. Shoving his hands in his pockets, Eliott shifted his gaze to his shoes with a sigh.

“What's wrong?” Ladybug asked.

“Nothing, just… Lisette kissed Malin, not Eliott.” He kicked at the ground.

“You really like her, don't you?” Ladybug asked.

Eliott flinched, rubbing the back of his neck. That morning the thought of falling in love with someone terrified him, but now… Maybe he hadn’t come down from his heroic high, but with Lisette’s kiss still burning on his cheek, he smiled.

“Yeah, I do,” he said.

“Well, Malin is very charming, but I think she might need someone to walk her home. Think Eliott can handle that?” Ladybug pointed to where Lisette was stepping off the elevator.

Have courage and believe in yourself.

On any other day, the fear of rejection would have convinced him to walk away, and maybe tomorrow it would. But today, today he wasn’t afraid.

“Lisette! Wait up.”

RWBY Liveblog V08E07 - War

Okay! The band aid has been ripped off so let's continue with RWBY! War seems to be a pretty self-explanatory name but who knows, maybe nothing bad will continue to happen? I don't know so let's do this!

I wonder why Atlas went with human soldiers versus using robots. Wouldn't a mass invasion be the perfect place to use all that canon fodder? Although, maybe Ironwood could be scared of getting hacked again.

Plain fields are Rooster Teeth's biggest enemy.

Other than getting distracted by the textured flat ground, I was thinking about how terrifying it'd be to see a whale that size just floating around or crashing close to me.

Very terrifying I'd say, even without the gross Grimm spit.

Okay. All I know about battle formations comes from playing some RTS games in the 90s and Mount & Blade... but, wouldn't using square formations be really bad for ranged units against melee units in a frontal attack?

Uhh, looking a tiny bit intense there buddy.

Can't imagine Manta Squad Omega is anything good if that soldier dared to almost question Ironwood's orders. What is going to be the new addition to Ironwood's list of war crimes?

That's a really late reaction considering THE GIANT GRIMM HORNETS

It shouldn't surprise me they arrested them in the middle of an invasion, but it does. * sigh * priorities

Huh. What could they have against a giant whale?

...somehow this is going to get Pietro inside that whale, isn't it?

Interesting expression here. What Ironwood is describing sounds like a suicide mission so I guess this is acceptance?

They left thousands to die in Mantle and Jaune still thinks they'd care? Although, once they are close to the whale Winter could go "go find Oscar, we'll detonate the bomb" to win back some karma points.

For a second there Salem looked like she was conducting an orchestra and * chef kiss *

watcha doing emerald

…how is her semblance affecting that Grimm? I was already confused by her semblance working against Penny...

A world order that will consist of having no world at all. Revolutionary, really.

Cinder's backstory? Really good. Hazel's? Waaaaaaaay down in the list.

I couldn't care less about Hazel, but Emerald is listening and that is interesting. What is she going to do? Oz hasn't revealed anything she hadn't heard before but she hasn't drunk Salem's kool-aid so anything helps.

oh right, these characters exist

"It's been a couple of episodes, did you forget Nora's deal this volume? No worries, here it is."

This volume has been rather blunt. I mean, RWBY has never been subtle but this volume has been trusting the viewer less than usual. Or maybe it's just that there have been more chances to make it noticeable.

I'm glad they are having this conversation, if only to know what's going to happen with them. Still a lot of episodes left, can't spend them all here.

And there's no way Ruby is not going to see and probably fight hacked Penny at some point. Writers gotta extract all the drama juice they can.

I wondered last season if May's being trans would be more than just a twitter message so, this is great!

May is already taking out and sharpening the guillotine.

I know this is supposed to be serious but she looks so incredibly shocked at the softest possible rebuke ever.

wtf are you doing May

(I know, I know, she doesn't like being compared to "the other side" but still, she seems to be just under Harriet in the "needs an anger management session" list)

…I mean, there are sides. Multiple sides even, trying to kill or capture you, Ruby.

But I guess she's right about the general population of both Atlas and Mantle.

A hint of character development???

It's nice to see Salem's goal finally be explicitly stated by someone. Oz could be guessing but at least it's the same guess that everyone had.

I mean, he's right.

Bold strategy Oscar, let's see if it pays off.

I'd usually say that it could work but EMERALD IS OUTSIDE. She could give the password to Cinder in hopes it could help her. Or stay quiet and escape with Hazel. Or, more interestingly, she could use the lamp herself. Although, I'm not sure what she'd be interested in asking. Hopefully not "Does Cinder care about me?"

Ohh, preparing for next volume. Mercury is probably at the bottom of my list in terms of being an interesting villain, next to Tyrian, so I hope he's joined by someone else.

While they have not been the greatest of friends, Emerald keeps going to Mercury since they were at least partners in being underlings to Cinder. Now she's going to be alone and I wonder why.

Isolating Emerald could work if the writers want her to have more of a reason to escape, but it's not like she wants to oppose Salem, she just wants Cinder [to care about her]

lol, and of course Tyrian would be around to confirm it all

oh no

oh noooo

Are they going to end up fighting each other in a future volume? I kinda hope they don't, or at least wait until they get a good dose of character development. As they are right now it wouldn't be very interesting.

ooooooh, nice one Jaune.

Winter was obviously struggling with the decision so that's the perfect excuse.

Harriet: "lol no."

REEEEEEEEEEEEEN, FINALLY, YOU'RE MAKING SENSE AGAIN

Who could've guessed that freezing his ass off for a couple of hours and getting arrested was what he needed.

Who killed Harriet's pet bunny

Having Harriet nearby is doing an excellent job showing Ren how wrong he was in idolizing how they worked. Thanks Harriet, you're a wonderful bad example.

...is Ren leveling up his semblance? Is that a thing they can do?

Huh.

"the power of friendship... is real 🤯"

I bet this episode was directed by the same dude that directed episode four.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh take that

I also bet someone already made the connection between the colors and the emotions they are supposed to represent. Which is not me, I'll just trust new and improved Ren.

end of the season: qrow and robyn save them

Wow, Heisenberg cameo.

aw, Whitley

One more mind blown this episode.

you baka

lol at Ruby in the background going "just like her sister"

awwwww

I'm glad there was this moment of brightness before everyone goes to die fight.

OH C'MON

This is so dumb.

I thought the writers would at least make an effort to have them fight somewhere else instead of having Penny somehow crash right in front of Ruby.

Oh Penny, I'm sorry too. You're just a vehicle for cheap drama. Made to suffer and rebuilt last season just to do it again.

---

So, besides those awful 30 seconds, that I'm going to totally ignore for as long as possible, I liked this episode. Lots of things happened.

Hazel, Emerald and Mercury now know the truth. Hazel and Emerald have the password for the lamp (maybe they'll hide who is going to call Jinn and just have it not respond when Salem tries to use it). May got an in-universe reveal that she's trans, which is great. Whitley gained a soul. Ren recovered his along with leveling up his semblance. And they made it explicit that both Marrow and Winter are not big fans of what it's going on (which feels... unnecessary)

It feels like the end of season is brewing but there are still a ton of episodes left so I'm very curious about what's going to happen. Until next time!

EDIT: Also, this episode was indeed directed by the same guy as the one who directed episode four! A lot more restrained this time so at least it wasn’t immediately obvious.

Volume 7 First Impressions/Thoughts in No Particular Order (Spoilers)

I forgot entirely that Qrow has a different VA until about halfway through the episode. Seriously. Good job Jason.

Weiss has so much faith placed in Winter to be a Good Person I sincerely hope it isn’t misplaced....

I’ve never shipped Nuts and Dolts before but dear god I might just start that was so wholesome

On that note, PENNY! I knew she wasn’t dead-dead. And she got some UPGRADES fuck yeah

Seriously. Penny and Ruby’s eyesparkle moment destroyed me

Qrow got a new outfit! Yes! He looks so good! HotTopic rights!

They put Oscar in the middle of team JNR at the start of the intro (so their names would spell JRON) idk if that’s significant or if it was just a place to put him so they’d have an even four and four. What color/color related thing would “JRON” even be?

New outfits (only seen in the intro so far) look amazing animated. I can’t wait to see them for realzies

Who Is She

And more importantly, does she know Qrow?

Give Qrow One Of His Old Friends Pls Thank

Weiss is done giving a shit about reputation and social expectations and I am LIVING

Blake’s little smirk and eyeroll when Yang accidentally DEMOLISHES that servalence camera bot and then awkwardly tried to play it off killed me okay I’m dead now

No sight of other strq members in the intro hmmm

Let Nora Wear The Dancing Shoes

“You painted it?!”

Days Since Last Nonsense - 0

Atlas Teen Titans wtf?

We know who made Yang’s arm he’s prob gonna fix it he’ll probably ask Yang what happened to it 👀

The music score never disappoints

The chaotic dumbass that is team JNR makes it vary evident that Pyrrha had the single braincell they all shared when she died

♚ ━━━ ❛ ALL ABOUT AUGUST.

G E N E R A L —

NAME. his full birth name is august ahn-evergreene, his last names being a combination of his maternal and paternal last names because his mother wasn’t going to allow her children to not have her last name in some fashion. however, in his twenties he drops evergreene and only uses ahn as his last name due to a rift with his mother / wanting an identity separate from her ( he’s not fond of his father either but he has a habit of leaving town so it’s easier for august to distance himself from that part of his family’s ‘legacy’ ).

AGE. he appears in his late 20s ( 27-30 ) but is around 60 years old due to the extended lifespan of a mage.

HEIGHT. he stands at 6′1 ( 185.42 ). no, he’s not a sloucher and is the type to internally judge people who do because stand up straight wtf?

WEIGHT. 170 pounds ( 77.1kg ). he’s lean and not overly muscular; doesn’t do much heavy physical activity anymore due to his current ‘condition’.

ETHNICITY. korean-filipino american mage. he comes from a bloodline of magic-users. if commenting on his natural magical prowess, expect a dry ‘of course, i was breed to be.’ in response.

OCCUPATION. he is what the people of crescent creek call ‘the overseer’, the highest sitting member of the council of novema ( or just ‘the council’ for short ). they are the ones who ‘govern’ the town and its people, establishing laws and stepping in to resolve high-level matters between residents if it should come to it. with the council needing to hear matters from the magi, vampires, fae, werewolves, and other beings, august has a constant headache.

GENDER. cis-male.

SEXUAL & ROMANTIC ORIENTATION. he would state that he’s heterosexual but admittedly he’s never fully explored his sexuality enough for that to be a definite statement. he hasn’t seriously dated in a very long time™ and it isn’t interested in changing that.

MBTI. INTJ-A, The Architect — it can be lonely at the top. as one of the rarest personality types – and one of the most capable – architects ( INTJs ) know this all too well. rational and quick-witted, architects may struggle to find people who can keep up with their nonstop analysis of everything around them. these personalities can be both the boldest of dreamers and the bitterest of pessimists. architects believe that, through willpower and intelligence, they can achieve even the most challenging of goals. but they may be cynical about human nature more generally, assuming that most people are lazy, unimaginative, or simply doomed to mediocrity.

S P E C I F I C S —

FAVOURITE FOOD. he’s very particular about getting his three meals a day in if he can but he probably has the most fondest for food that was often served at dinner time with his family or when all his cousins spent time at his lola’s house when they visited her. dishes such as bopis, kimchi, pancit canton, tocino and rice, korean styled steak, etc. are personal favorites.

FAVOURITE DRINK. his day isn’t complete without having a nice, chilled glass of vintage red wine during dinner ( and maybe just drinking straight from the bottle by the end of the night ). he does enjoy drinking rosé during a nice breakfast or lunch depending on the bottle.

FAVOURITE HOBBY. brooding. joking aside, he does enjoy sparring matches, ‘magical’ based sparring matches. he does practice taekkyeon ( korean martial arts ) and enjoys mixing spells in by shocking opponents, blocking their spells with his own wards, etc.

FAVOURITE SCENT. the smell of freshly cut grass as well as the scent of pomegranates, vanilla, cinnamon, and musk. the former is bittersweet and nostalgic, reminding of his years as a teen: when he was young, oblivious, and only had to be concerned about being late to football / soccer practice. the latter reminds him of someone he would rather forget.

FAVOURITE PERSON. i. his twin brother, ansel ahn. his death still hurts and he’ll always partially blame himself for it - despite the fact that there would’ve been nothing he could’ve done to change it. ( this is the part where that wand.avision quote is inserted in ). the loss of his brother dramatically changes the course of his life. ii. his lola, nora evergreene. she grounds him a lot. one of the few times he’s at peace is when he visits her for brunch every third saturday of the month. iii. his ex, audrey cramer. he would never admit it out loud though - at least not anymore.

T E N F A C T S —

he’s well versed in magical creatures : one of the 'gifts’ of being the overseer is the ability to traverse pass the veil - a barrier / entry way that exist between ‘earth’ and the many dimensions that exist beyond it. this ability, however, is one that has fallen out of use over the past few decades. ever the abnormally, august makes use of this ability for his own personal agenda. outside of the different races that already live within crescent creek ( witches, vampires, werewolves, fairies, etc. ), there are those that prefer to live freely in their own worlds rather than live in secrecy on earth. so yes, he has met unicorns and he thinks most of them are actually assholes.

on the nature of the veil : the origin of the veil itself is a mystery. all that is known that about its existence is that many millennium ago, those from different dimensions ( or ‘worlds’ ) were able to freely pass through it without the need of assistance or a spell. as time progressed and humanity began to rise, passage through the veil became increasingly more restricted, leading to entry ways within the veil being sealed and only accessible through the leader in each world ( ex. the overseer in crescent creek ). although the town of crescent creek has always traded with other towns, cities, etc. pass the veil, many of those trades have slowed to a stop entirely as those dimensions have become inaccessible. to somewhat ease panic and concern, the council has framed the issue being due to other dimensions permanently closing themselves off from earth ( a situation that has previously happened some worlds ). in truth, the veil itself has become 'infected’ by a foreign spell that’s led to the blocking of entry ways that lead into other worlds. due to not knowing the source of the spell and its affect on the veil, the knowledge of its presence is unknown to most people in crescent creek. // note: this is more of an overall ‘lore’ fact that explains the backdrop of what’s going on in this ‘world’ to understand other facts about him. in the grand scheme of things, this wouldn’t come up when interacting with him.

he doesn’t believe in astrologists, psychics, fortune tellers, etc. : which may seem contradictory considering he’s a literal magical being but in his experience, it’s typically humans pushing pseudoscience or mages using their magic to con clueless humans. people in that line of ‘work’ are hacks to him - especially since he’s seen it first hand with his own father’s profession.

over the past twenty years, he’s been continuing his brother’s research : ansel, his older, twin brother, had been studying the distortions within the veil in secret before his death a decade prior. although the status of the veil was supposed to be concealed to those outside of the council’s reach, ansel confided in his brother before his death. in august’s eyes, whatever spell that’s taken over the veil is an active threat and with the backing of onyx crane, a vampire on the council, and his cousin, faye evergreene, he began��an almost obsessive-like determination to complete his brother’s work and find answers - even if it’s to his own detriment. // *note: with a big soap opera trope being people returning from the dead, it shouldn’t be shocking to discover that ansel, is in fact, not actually dead. he used a storm that hit the town as a means to fake his own death ( disasters that kill off characters is usually a soap opera storyline that happens during ‘sweeps’ period ) and left town for his own agenda.

the youngest overseer to sit in the council : his status as the overseer is one steeped in controversy due to...a variety of reasons: an overseer typically is replaced by another council member by vote or an apprentice to the overseer should they have one after an overseer’s death, resignation, or if they’ve been forcefully discharged from the position. none of these things applied to august’s own mother, tala ahn-evergreene, when he usurped her - blackmailing the council by threatening to expose the truth about the current threat of the veil. // *note: in every ( american ) soap opera, it is a staple to have a ‘thing’, whether it be a business, a central institution in town ( ex. a hospital ), or a position ( CEO of a company, chief of staff at a hospital, etc. ) that many of the characters are tied to or even fighting for control over. ELQ, the quartermaine’s family business on general hospital, often have storylines where family members are fighting over shares of the company, who should run it, or the family teaming up to oust an outsider that’s taken over the company ( funnily enough, there is a story like the latter happening on the show right now ). the point here is that being the overseer or even sitting on the council of novema is that ‘thing’ that people fight over to be on for various reason.

he takes his personal upkeep very seriously : there’s a lot of things one could say about crescent creek’s current overseer but no one can ever say they’ve seen august ahn not look put together when he’s out and about ( this is him going out publicly basically ). as someone who values consistency and control in his life but pretty much never has it, august actually highly treasures the time spent doing his morning / nightly skincare routines, getting his acupuncture treatments, and so on. he supports the self care movement essentially.

he ( as well as his siblings ) once witnessed one of his father’s affairs : it was an awful experience. -10/10. doesn’t recommend. this incident shapes his attitude towards relationships in general and how he operates within them. august has a very black and white attitude about relationships: you are either with him 100% or you’re not with him at all. it’s unhealthy and he has to unpack that. // *fun fact: this is actually a real event that happened with this family back in the sims 2 over ten years ago - they just all had different names, were a different race, and so on at that point.. they’ve changed a lot:tm:.

may be an active suspect for murder : it happens. when marlena cramer, a former council member, suddenly passes on, the town is overtaken by a wave of a grief...that soon becomes shock and suspicion when her death is rules to be from unnatural causes. between being one of the last people to see her alive and reports of him wanting her off the council, august becomes one of the prime suspects for her murder case. // *note: whodunit’s are probably up there with ‘who’s the daddy’ storylines in terms of being the most common soap opera staple ( ex. who shot j.r. on dallas ).

voted most likely to be successful in his HS yearbook : august was the picture perfect prom king, the jock that was friends with everyone on campus, and the one everyone expected ride off into the sunset with his hs sweetheart. on paper, august was well rounded - some would say outright perfect. today, those who knew him in high school would shake their heads and ask themselves what happened to the boy who always smiled at them when he passed you by in the hallway or whose laughter could easily be heard the loudest in a classroom. august, as he is now, is a stranger to those that once knew him.

it’s happening gradually but he is, in fact, dying : many of the worlds that had become unaccessible were not only blocked off but were actively decaying - many of its residents fleeing to other worlds before they were forever trapped in a dying one while others locked their entry ways to stop the spell from spreading to their own homes. the overseers in crescent creek were restricted from traversing the veil themselves due to the unknown risk of the spell, a rule that august actively ignores. every time he travels through the veil, the more the spell slowly eats away at him - a fact that he is well aware of and he has no desire to stop. he will keep traveling worlds ( and helping those he can ) until he finds the source of the spell and kills its caster himself.

FIVE THINGS HE LIKES.

visiting the sauna. the heat helps with his internal pain.

eating home-cooked meals.

getting hydrafacials ( james_franco_so_good.gif ).

smoking with his cousin, faye.

blasting emo music as he gets drunk, questions his life choices, and stares at the ceiling

FIVE THINGS HE DISLIKES.

feeling used.

disloyal / uncommitted people

selfishness.

tough, chewy steak.

cheap wine.

COMMON WORDS / PHRASES THAT ANNOY THEM. during a misunderstanding or argument, the worst thing to tell him is that he ‘doesn’t understand’. even if the person is somewhat correct, august is a person that prides himself on being an objective observer of a situation, rational in his thinking, and not someone who lets his emotions dictate his choices. saying something like that to him would just further annoy him.

PERSONALITY TYPES THEY PREFER. those who are smart, loyal, and efficient. those who are willing to dirty their hands on occasion, and believe that the ends do justify the means.

PERSONALITY TYPES THEY AVOID. selfish and incompetent people, those who proceed to waste his time, useless people in positions of powers, jerky unicorns.

WHAT DO YOU FIND DIFFERENT / DISTINCT ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL?

the whole concept of this ‘world’ is based around soap opera cliches and tropes so the character is intentionally ‘tropey’ and meant to pull from different fictional men from the genre - as well as outside of it. i would say him being the leading man is unique within itself because people of color in soaps ( at least within american soaps which this is all inspired by ) are generally never the leads or involved in what i actually watch soaps for: the drama, the love stories, the scheming, the cheating, etc. they’re usually the straight men to the white characters; living well off but boring lives and are rarely given front burner stories. all black people in a soap opera are usually always going to somehow know each other, only date each other, etc. you can switch black people out with latinos, asians, etc. and it would still be true. the characters of color are easily written off as a result of this.

in general, soap operas are very white - and still are today. they have a history of casting white people as mexican characters, ex. lindsay hartley as theresa on passions. asian american soap characters are severly lacking - i could probably count the amount of i’ve seen on screen. a black actress formerly on general hospital mentioned how people jokingly called the show ‘generally white hospital’ behind the scenes. chad.wick bos.eman left all my children because of how much of a stereotype his character was - and he was right ( ironically, michael b. jord.an was his recast ). some shows are getting better, bold and beautiful currently has a story involving two characters cheating ( one of which is black ) and it’s hot af but it’s still not enough for the times we’re in. this isn’t a problem exclusive to soaps either - most media has a problem with this. people of color aren’t getting lead roles and especially not romantic lead roles - even if they do, the shows always make it a interracial romance with a white person ( ex. bridg/erton ) as if people of color of different races are incapable of dating each other.

finally, i’ve noticed that you rarely see asian american men portrayed as romantic leads or desirable ( at least in a non-fetishized way ) in western media. that’s pretty lame:tm: so that was also a factor when i revamped audrey’s love interest ( parts of ‘old’ him still exist, ex. him being a jock / king of the school as a teen, a complicated relationship with his brother, etc ). anyway, stan august uwu.

tagged by: i took it from myself. tagging: anyone who wants to.

I wanna hear your the wilds theories please 💜💜💜💜

audreyyyy i have no good response to this except :DDDDD

oh wow i have no idea whats going on with this show. I’m so intrigued and so lost and ive just been reading through theory posts going oooooooh yeah omg maybe but here’s my questions at least (im gonna try to put a read more bc its kind of a lot) (and check the tw at the end and please lmk if i missed smth)

I mean mainly, where are Martha and Nora? I feel like Nora has to be alive or Rachel would be more obviously devastated than she is, and sort of along the same lines with Toni / Martha. I wouldn’t think either of them could be so calm if the other girls weren’t alive.

however, i was definitely intrigued by the post saying Martha could have actually died after not getting the medicine, and they’ve been hallucinating her since then. it definitely bothered me that the fact she was almost dying was resolved without saying anything the next episode, which took place (i think) a few days later. one theory i really dont like is the insinuation that instead of the goat they were eating Martha in the last ep bc thats wayyy too fucked up for me and also like Martha was (at least in Shelby/Toni’s mind) on that walk with them to find food so although i suppose they could have hallucinated her i just dont think so

my personal theory for Martha is that she’s just incapacitated somewhere—maybe she was injured in the final moments and had to be taken to a hospital or smth, and shes unable to give an interview. I gotta say tho, the bit with the box of all her stuff definitely makes it seem like she either died or went missing—another theory i had was that Alex (p sure that was his name) had something to do with her disappearance and maybe brought her to that other island with all the boys on it. like its also improbable but like isn’t every theory to be taken loosely 🤪

I’ve seen theories saying oh, Shelby had her allergic reaction bc she put her retainer down on the table where dot had put her seafood but like that seems kinda like a stretch to me. how could they possibly have planned something like that out? unless Nora had some tell all before whatever happened to get them off the island, i dont know how they possibly could have planned that. the possibility they would be in the same room, the exact spot on the table, even the fact dot had access to seafood at all seems too much of a stretch. so in that case, was she faking it? how could she know the right time to do it? a lot of my questions have to do with the logistics of their plans lmao

one theory ive definitely latched on to it that more time has passed on the island than they thought. its possible that it was just an editing mistake having rachel’s amputated hand look so healed, especially while their faces were all still healing from the sunburns, bc while sun burns do take awhile to heal in my experience (like 2 or 3 weeks even sometimes) and also idrk how amputations work but it seems unlikely it could look so healed so quickly. I do think that it’s possible the girls have been drugged again at least once since being taken off the island—its clearly been shown Gretchen has the capability to drug them, so it’s definitely possible she did it again.

what i really want to know is if the girls know what is going on. does Nora tell them? I think one thing they’d really want to know is what happened to Jeanette—that was likely extremely traumatic for them and they deserve to know what happened to her. do they tell her family? obviously her and Alex were close, is he gonna betray Gretchen in some way? he obviously blames himself for her death (which makes sense since like he almost saved her but didnt)

I’d also like to see the boys island storyline resolved—like quite honestly wtf is going on there? is it the same island or a different one? are they as in the dark as the girls were or do at least some of them know what’s happening? do they go all lord of the flies or are they able to operate in relative harmony too? i hated lord of the flies so i hope that asshole is proved wrong.

there’s much more than this but it’s getting pretty long and rambly so ill end it here!! I’d love to hear your theories too, other people’s thoughts are always v interesting to me since i have no idea whats happening <3

Hey imagine if nora and gary were siblings .

I’m still on the train of Gary’s father being Vandal Savage (because you can squeeze so much emotion out of that puppy) but omg this is funny. Damien going to see Nora and then finding out ‘hey, I have another kid’. And he’s just delighted about the whole thing while everyone is going wtf and Gary is processing and Nora will steal the whole ass bottle of wine thank you very much. And now I’m thinking of them doing magic together and eeeee!

Screw it, @noradarhkpalmer gave me some inspiration when I told her about this and I’m weak. Plus, it’s quarantine all over the US, Legends is on hiatus, and we all need some crack. So here is a fic that I typed out today. Your influence, anon. Enjoy.

Using Palmer Tech’s location sharing on their watches was one way to find someone, but you couldn’t always rely on technology. For Damien Darhk, blood magic was always reliable. Once he’d pinpointed where Nora was by her watch, he cast a spell just to check. Sure enough, her signature matched to the same point in England.

However, there was also a second signature in the same location. Someone who shared blood with him like Nora. But that wouldn’t make sense unless-no. No, she couldn’t have had a child already. But if she had…

He couldn’t get too ahead of himself, but the possibility excited Damien too much.

When he first arrived, he was proud to see what Nora had done for herself. She was a powerful sorceress with her own manor. In the past two years, she had made quite the name for herself. Although she did seem a little jumpy. Probably just so surprised that he had come back from hell, Damien figured.

He finally decided to bring up the second signature during the tour of the house. “So is there anything you want to share with me?”

“Uhhhhh,” Nora fidgeted with her hands for a moment. “I spent last week taking puppies away from children. Children who made me very, very mad.”

“You took puppies from children?” Damien covered his mouth as pride filled him. “That’s so cold and heartless. I’m proud of you!”

“Thanks, Dad,” Nora smiled as she led them into the parlor.

“And there’s nothing else you want to tell me?” he pressed a little more. “Nothing about a certain someone?”

His daughter went pale. “You know, don’t you?”

“I suspected,” he admitted as he took a seat in the armchair. “And I’m so happy.”

“You are?”

“Of course. I mean, I never thought I would want children until you came along. And now I’m a grandfather! Who’d have thought?”

There was a thump from a wardrobe in the far corner. Damien glanced at it but then saw Nora sagging down against the couch. Her mouth was opening and closing, but no words came out. She appeared to be stunned that he knew.

“Um, you have the wrong idea, Dad,” Nora finally managed to start talking. “I do not have a kid, and I am definitely not pregnant. And I’m not even sure if I want to have kids, okay? Whatever you’re thinking, it’s not kids. I can promise you that.”

A door slammed somewhere in the house and she sighed. “Give me one moment. That’s probably one of my…henchmen.”

“You have henchmen? Nora-doll, that’s fantastic!”

Nora nodded quickly. “It is. Just give me a moment, okay?”

She darted out of the room quickly. Damien leaned forward on his knees and began to think to himself. Nora didn’t have a child and he wasn’t a grandfather. But why had the blood magic told him there was a second person here who shared his bloodline. That made no sense unless his magic was getting wonky. Yet magic had never failed him so there had to be someone else here with his blood.

“Dad,” Nora returned, smiling brightly with a sword. “Meet my henchwomen. They’ve just returned a relic to me.”

“The captain of the Waverider AND director of the Time Bureau,” Damien gaped. “Normally I would be excited, but something is bothering me.”

“Dad, it it’s about earlier-”

“Yes, but it’s not kids, sweetheart. I did use the Palmer Tech tracking system, but I also did use a little blood magic. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it. I wanted to be sure!”

“Okay, so why did you think I had a kid?”

“The magic showed two signatures here,” Damien told her. “So you can see why my mind went on that tangent.”

“Okay then,” Nora crossed her arms. “I don’t know what that means. Can you do it again?”

Damien nodded. “I’ll need a knife. Gotta bleed for blood magic.”

Sara Lance stepped forward with a knife. “Allow me.”

Nora grabbed the knife and passed it to him. Damien sliced the palm of his hand and murmured a few words. The spell had to be tailored since he wasn’t doing it on a map, but it would still work. Two red strands rose from the blood pooling in his palm. The first was pointing to Nora and the second pointed to the wardrobe.

“Curious,” Damien muttered as he broke the spell. Wrapping his hand in a handkerchief, he strode over to open it up. As he flung the doors open, he was met with the cowering time agent he’d tied to a railway in the Old West hours before.

“Please don’t hurt me,” the man whimpered. “I don’t want to die.”

“Oh my god,” Ava Sharpe gasped. “Oh my god. Oh. My. God! Babe!”

Sara Lance was staring open-mouthed. “You have got to be kidding me.”

Nora drew up beside Damien. “Dad, why did the other strand point to Gary?”

A memory was coming back, one he hadn’t thought was very important. A couple dates, one or two nights to blow off some steam a few decades ago. She didn’t mean much of anything to him; he had been focused on terrorism more then. But so many of her features were there in the man in front of him.

“Miriam,” he said aloud, remembering her name.

“Actually, it’s Gary,” the man squeaked. “Miriam was my mother.”

“Gary, who was your dad?” Ava asked, practically bouncing in her shoes. “Who was he?”

“I don’t know, she never told me- why are you asking me this?”

“Because my dad,” Nora pointed to Damien. “Is your dad too. I think.”

“No, I am,” Damien choked, overwhelmed by emotion. “I have a son.”

He yanked Gary out of the wardrobe and into a hug. “Blood magic can’t lie. I have a son! Nora, did you know you had a brother?”

“Not until now,” she told him with a tight smile. “So Gary is my brother?”

“Half-brother, technically, but blood all the same! And you two found each other without knowing. Oh, that’s so sweet!”

He released Gary. “We need to celebrate! I’ve come back from Hell, my daughter is a master sorceress, and I have a son!”

“Ahhh,” Sara Lance began, but Nora raised a finger.

“That…is a great idea, Dad!” she said. “I’ll have them get dinner ready and we can catch up more.”

“With Gary too, right?” Damien looked proudly at him. “We have to include him in the family discussion too. I want to hear what he’s been doing!”

“That’d be great,” Gary grinned nervously. “I’m going to, ah, get a bottle of wine. For all of us.”

“Make it two,” Nora told him. “I think we’re going to need it…if we have any more guests.”

RWBY Ship: Woodpecker

Firstly, WTF??? How is that a ship name??

Now on to the fun!

I’m going to guess Oscar Pine is involved bc Pine=tree=wood. See, logic! (this’ll be super funny if he’s not a part of it :P)

Woodpeckers are birds who make holes in trees with their beaks. I would guess a character who can turn into a bird, but I can’t see you sending me in Raven or Qrow with him, so no.

I know Oscar’s ship names with Ruby, Penny, and Whitley, so they’re out too.

I wanna say Oscar/Nora bc a hammer is kinda like a woodpecker in a way?

(honestly I have no idea but I’m going to keep guessing)

Unless it’s not an Oscar ship, in which case...

*tries to think of other characters associated with trees or birds*

Sage (from SSSN)? Yatsuhashi (from CFVY - probably didn’t spell his name right)?

Wait NO

it’s Qrow/Taiyang bc bird and idk Taiyang lives in a wood cabin? (I have a weirdly good feeling about this one)

Like now I’m getting STRQ vibes (sorry Oscar, it was fun while it lasted) cause like half their ship names are bird-related so that would make sense

So yes Taiyang/Qrow. Final answer.

New game: send me (obscure) RWBY ship names and I have to guess the characters involved

#rwby #woodpecker is apparently a ship name #just watch im going to be way off

HUSH HUSH by Becca Fitzpatrick thoughts: Ch 12 - end

Full video here.

CHAPTER 12

Nora’s mom is on her way home

Nora goes to visit V

“I love drugs” LMAO

She goes into a diatribe about her doctor only eating easter candy i’m crying

It was a guy!!! He had dark eyes and he was wearing a ski mask!!!!!

After thought: was jules just manipping them SO HARD they couldn’t keep a grip on what the ski masked person looked like? If so...why keep wearing a ski mask as your calling card??

V had told elliott they were going shopping

Nora tells V about hitting the guy in the ski mask

Ooh nora told patch about shopping too!!!!

Too short and too skinny to be elliott though

V is like “the more i think about it, i really think it was patch”

Nora doesn’t get a chance to tell V about elliott before the drugs kick in hard

“I brought your homework, where do you want it?” she pointed to the trash can LMAO V IS THE BEST

She goes home and hugs her mom

CHAPTER 13

She and V go to borderline where patch works to get info from his coworkers

Nora is sweaty lmao

Nora literally wrote interrogations on one side of a piece of paper and flirting prompts on the other side this girl is ridiculous

V brought slutty heels to make Nora more seductive I’m dead

V invited Jules and Elliott...she’s been seeing Jules

Nora goes to tell V about Elliott but he shows up before she can

Jules doesn’t show up

Nora is like so Elliot if the prep school is so great why did you transfer basically challenging this potential murderer

Elliott is like “heard the girls were hotter at your school”

I am beyond confused as to why V invited these guys who know who Nora is, but also expects Nora to put on a whole ass disguise in the bathroom and go talk to the bartender… Why would you invite these guys along? This just makes it way more difficult…

Nora goes to the bartender and tries to make conversation; is terrible at it, basically asks him is it possible to get hired here with a felony, can I see patch’s job application, does patch have a girlfriend?

Patch is covering a shift so he is NOT off as originally expected

Patch confronts her in the girl’s bathroom and he’s like “are you following me?” POT KETTLE BITCH

She goes to take the high heels off and drops the list of interrogation questions and patch picks it up and I am nervous

Patch had a girlfriend but she’s dead

Gonna call it: she’s the girl who was hanged at kinghorn that Elliott was questioned about

Chapter 14

Her mom “Blinked owlishly” excuse me??

Nora’s mom wants to sell their house because it’s too much $

So Nora decides not to tell mom about the ski mask guy

She asks her mom about knowing if she loved dad and if she was ever afraid of dad

When the pats lost her dad would chop down trees with a chainsaw lmaoooooo what

Nora‘s mom says “ooh a boy is he on chess team? Student council? Tennis team?”

And Nora says… He likes pool… and her mom says “ooh a swimmer” LMAO

Someone ripped her room APART

It’s the ski mask guy!!!!! He jumped out the window

One of the cops looks like patch…

Nothing is messed up when the cops look at the room…

Is Nora going insane or is it angel shit

Unfortunately I think this book would be so much more interesting if I didn’t already know that patch was a fallen angel and I don’t know if that’s my bad for trying to fine just like a quick summary of what the book was about on the Internet, or if like the back of the book let you know that this is about an angel… I mean the cover let you know it’s about an angel but I would’ve thought these dudes are like…serial killers or something and that Nora had some kind of mental issue or they had messed with her iron supplements to make her go nuts…Which might’ve been more interesting than whatever is going on here

Chapter 15

Nora finally tells V about the article and v doesn’t believe her

Nora thinks that she has a great point because Elliot transferred schools after he was questioned… I’m sure it was really hard to keep going to school with people who knew you were a murder suspect...so…

Nora wants to go to kinghorn and question the students about elliott

The fact that this all somehow ties back to fallen angels is really pissing me off because we are halfway through it, and we have not even really from Nora’s point of you introduced the idea of Angels

Nora is suddenly like why the fuck is Jules always sick

Also how is he always around if kinghorn is such a difficult school

Nora realizes the article that she printed about Elliot was missing from her room after the ski mask guy broke in so now she is convinced Skimask guy is Elliot

I will say that I have absolutely no idea where this is going so it is keeping my attention because again I don’t understand how this is going to tie back to angels and why the girl died and etc.

Coach makes V and Patch switch places

“I didn’t do homework” “who did you do?” Bro come on

“The subjects pulse increased on contact”

She goes to her appointment with Miss Green and somehow Miss Green knows that patch took her home from the pier and that patch went into her house what the fuck is going on

I really really really hope that all of this weird shit comes together in the last like five chapters and I end up like screaming OH DUH putting all this together… But because this was recommended as part of my cringe series, I have a very strong feeling that is not going to happen and all of this means nothing

“something about Miss Green bothered me, it was almost like she had an agenda“ yeah bitch she knew a guy took you to your house and came inside, she is stalking you

Chapter 16

Nora runs into Marcy at the library and basically Marcy says V got attacked because someone mistake her for a bear or a moose because she’s fat, and then they have a name calling back-and-forth of skank, slut, anorexic pig like real vile shit

Nora goes to the underground tunnel to get to the parking lot even though...she didn’t drive…

Patch is in the tunnel

“His smile looked like he didn’t play by the rules”

She immediately is like “if he’s gonna rape me he cornered me in the perfect place” JESUS

I mean all women think like that in a dark space but she likes this guy and they go to school together and...damn that was a jump!

Nora gets a car between them and they have like a run around while she’s asking him questions

“Was it a coincidence that the last normal day in my life had been right before that fateful day?” Editor fight me

She lets him take her home again

I am starting to feel like we are back to after, where the same things keep happening over and over for no reason… She was so determined to get answers and then she let it go because he turned the conversation on her...she should’ve just held her ground and then like I am not leaving until you tell me what the fuck is going on, but she didn’t, so does she care or not

He asks her out…

Chapter 17

She is so infuriating, she’s getting ready for this date but thinking about kissing him rather than thinking about getting answers on if this dude is stalking her / reading her mind...it’s so frustrating

The detectives show up

Asking about Marcy…?

Marcy got beat up!!!! By patch??

She lies that patch isn’t on his way

They go to the arcade

He’s behind her showing her how to play pool fuck yeah

He’s like “if I hit this, take off your jacket”

A guy named Rickson shows up, him and patch start roughhousing and we see patch’s giant back scars

They call him patch because he used to get his ass beat in bar fights and had to get patched up a lot lmao

Chapter 18

He leaves her in the Jeep while he gets dinner and she goes sleuthing

So in chapter 18 she is saying she would settle for finding his cell phone number but...she called him at Boze arcade in like the third chapter so what number was that, did you not write it down once you washed it off your hand, or was that the arcades phone... why do you not have his phone number anymore

He has a metal flashlight with blood on it in his glove compartment, making Nora think he had beat up Marcy after all

I swear to God, if he gets back in the car and she starts getting horny for him after finding this flashlight I am not gonna finish this book I am going to quit

He pulled out a gun?!?!?!?!!?!?!???!?!?

Paintball gun. He says it’s paint on the flashlight?? Sure Jan

He gives her a snow globe of the pier, cute!

Mom catches them lmaooo

Chapter 19

So Nora is on the phone with V and she’s like how did the date go with patch and Nora said something about him giving her pool pointers and he says I bet he could give you pointers in other areas… And then the next sentence is V trying to convince Nora once again that patch is the one who broke her arm… So… Why the fuck do you want your best friend to fuck the guy who broke your arm????????

Nora realizes that the angels that were painted on the roller coaster have the same scar that patch has

“My voice was strewn with cobwebs” huh?????

She goes on their home computer to google “angel wings scars” LMAO why did every girl in a YA novel in the early 2000s google what their monster boyfriend was

Info dump re angels: they talk to humans in their minds, can possess them during the unholy Hebrew month

“I filed everything away that I had just read in my mind, and stamped ‘scary’ on the outside“ lmao

“V, do you believe in superheroes? Do you think the Bible is real?”

Chapter 20

Elliott is at her house...drunk

He punches the side of her house

He invites her to go camping with him Jules and V...after he acknowledges she doesn’t like him

He rips her out of the house and throws her against it when she says she doesn’t wanna go

Thank god her mom wakes up

V tries to talk Nora into going, and Nora tells her what happened at the house, and V is like “well he was drunk”

Insert pic of unamused Kristen Stewart face

PLEASE tell me she’s being controlled by the angel powers because wtf

“Maybe you’re trying so hard to pin the ski mask on Elliott because you know it’s patch deep down” she’s not wrong tho patch is also a terrible dude who is stalking(?) her

Nora goes to Portland to investigate Elliott, and kierstens death

She throws away her questions this time, smart

She interrogates the waitress at kierstens old job, who is NOT amused but agrees to tell her some tea if she gets food and tips her big

Kiersten and Elliott were hooking up

Elliott bought kierstens apartment so he def coulda planted the note

Elliott and Jules were in the restaurant talking about a test that Jules has failed...I get the feeling it wasn’t academic

Chapter 21

Someone’s watching herrrr

V is in Portland with Elliott…? But she’s alone...she wants Nora to come get her

Red flag

She gets hustled by a homeless woman for her coat

She left her phone in the coat

She witnesses a shooting...of the bag lady...who was wearing her coat and hat!!!!!!!!!!

She calls patch and he comes to get her

V went home with the boys

“The water was smooth black poison” wut

The Jeep dies on the highway and a storm rolls in

Chapter 22

They get a room to wait out the storm because the lights and phones are down

She still is like wary of him but she doesn’t really have a choice at this point, fair.

Also, favorite trope: there’s only one bed

Her clothes are wet so she makes him blow out the candles so he can’t see her in her underwear….

She touches his scar and gets sucked into blackness?!?!

Chapter 23

There are 8 chapters left and I have a BAD feeling that we’re in sequel bait territory

She’s in like a flashback from 8 months ago

Miss green meets patch at bo’s, he calls her Daubria

“Your kind and my kind don’t mix” she’s an angel and he’s a fallen one, I just know it “it’s not easy getting down here”

“If you save a human life, you can get your wings back”

“Now tell me why you’re really here”

Something about the book of Enoch and him wanting to recreate it

He wants a name from her list since she’s a death angel

Daubria says Nora’s name and patch asks who wants to kill her and Daubria says, “you”

So…..if he stops himself….he can get his wings?

She comes back and patch pins her to the bed, pissed

So she has just found out that he wants to kill her, he has her pinned to the bed, and she asks “is Daubria your girlfriend???” Why do you literally care and why do you not have any self-preservation skills

He kisses her?!?!

She bites the shit out of his lip

He did try to kill her on the archangel but couldn’t do it, he was gonna stab her in her house, couldn’t do it

She’s passing out because she needs her iron pills

He calms her down

He lets her touch his scars again so she’ll trust him

Chapter 24

She wakes up next to a skeleton in a graveyard

The Irish guy is talking to patch there

Patch wants to become human, as he heard in the book of Enoch

She comes back

Patch feels through a “sheet of glass” unless he possess a body

Patch is the angel from the prologue I think

“If you can’t feel, why did you kiss me?” “Because I can feel it in my heart”

He fell because he lusted after a human girl

He didn’t know Daubria was still on earth…

She now thinks Daubria is the ski mask person

Chapter 25

Patch goes to get the car and leaves Nora there

They get her home and patch checks the house for her

V doesn’t answer her phone

Daubria is there!!

She says she isn’t the one who has been spying

She planted the idea in V’s mind that patch attacked her

Her birthmark means she’s Chauncey’s descendant, and the book says if patch killed his vassal’s descendant he can be human (according to Daubria)

She goes to kill Nora so she’ll be out of the way

Daubria is v hurt by him falling and “falling” for the human girl

Daubria goes full angel, using tk, glowing, trying to stop Nora

Daubria sets the house on fire

Patch comes back and tells her to drive his Jeep to Delphic

She starts to search for V in the meantime

Chapter 26

She goes to the movies and gets a ticket for the sacrifice, remarking on the irony of the title

V isn’t at the movies

But patch is?!?!

“Shut up or I’ll get security” “yeah, get security, this guy wants to kill me” “I want to kill you”

“I’ll tell you what I’ve done: I’m not good, but I was worse”

He’s now saying she’s worth falling for basically

“I don’t kill people who are important to me, and you top the list”

Patch ripped daubria’s wings off

“Let’s be honest, you got it bad for me, and I’ve got it bad for you.”

“You don’t need me to help you fight her.” “What do I need you for?” “We have unfinished business”

They making OUT in this theater bathroom

Her phone rings, V and the guys broke into school, and Elliott says “Nora come play or there’s a tree in the courtyard with V’s name on it”

Listen. To. Me. If these two plots have nothing to do with each other, I am going to rip my hair out. These could have been 2 different books.

Chapter 27

She tells patch about the article

Patch says he doesn’t remember Jules being at the arcade…

Jules is an angel I bet

The jeeps tires are slashed so they pay an employee to take his car

He tells Nora to stay in the car

Chapter 28

Elliott calls Nora and says he’s watching her

Nora GETS OUT OF THE CAAAAAAR

AND GOES INTO THE SCHOOL NORA HE TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING GET OUT

Nora tripped over Jules’ dead body…

Elliott is in the library, basically dead…

The lights keep going on and off…

The ski mask person is here!!!!!!!

IT IS JULES?!?!

He’s an angel!!!! Called it, He’s been fucking with her mind

He throws her in the bio room, and she sees a scalpel on the ground and grabs it

Jules was Elliott’s benefactor and made him choose between love and money…

Jules really wanted patch, but patch can’t be hurt...so he’s using Nora to get to him

Jules is patch’s vassal!!!!! So he’s fucking PISSED

HE IS CHAUNCEY!!!!!!

The guardian presence she felt wasn’t her dad, it was Jules

She stabs him, but bumps a table as she tries to escape…

He passes out

Chapter 29

She finds V in the e-zine lab

All the doors are chained…

She ends up trapped in the gym

Jules has a gun!!!!

He beat up Marcy because he didn’t want anyone messing with “his girl”

Patch finds them, Jules holds her at gun point, patch possesses Nora to beat the SHIT out of Jules

He couldn’t stay long enough to kill Jules, and the effort made him pass out

She climbs up the air shaft despite being afraid of heights and Jules is fucking with her, making her think she’s falling

Patch helps her anchor to reality

They’re both on the rafters

She realizes if she sacrifices herself, patch can be human

She throws herself off the rafter

Chapter 30

She hears a clock and wings, but then she slides backwards instead

She wakes up in her bedroom, with patch

Patch turned down her sacrifice so she could live

“What good is a body if I can’t have you?”

He’s a guardian angel because he saved her

V and Elliott are fine

The police think Jules killed himself

V says “shoe-shopping therapy” instead of retail therapy why

The book ends with patch coming back to give her a kiss...boring

There’s an exchange that’s the last sentence of the book where he pulls away and she’s like “more” “more?” “more”
