“I don't see the point in putting so much effort in a braid, of all things.”

Gwen chuckled at his words, continuing to focus on his long auburn locks, an unmatched precision used just so she could braid his hair.

“But you always wear a braid,” Gwen commented.

Roya shrugged. “Fair,” he breathed, his words always coming out soft.

He laid his head down on her lap, his eyes fluttering shut to focus on his surroundings.

The feeling of grass tickling his skin, the chirping of birds, the sound of flowing water from a nearby river…

The way Gwen held him so gently.

Roya smiled to himself. To him, this much affection felt almost alien, with the way he was raised.

But Gwen…. She taught him it could be normal. That it could be okay to want for things. And in turn, he taught her something too.

That it was okay to want for things and be selfish about it. That she didn't have to always assist others.

Roya knew the costs of something like that.

And he didn't want Gwen to suffer the fate he got for helping others too much.

Helping others is good. Roya thought, extending his hand for a butterfly to land on it, upon his eyes finally fluttering open. But sometimes it isn't worth it.

His eyes wandered, looking toward Gwen as she read her book, shortly after finishing braiding his hair.

Roya didn't even know she finished braiding it.

Taking his hair in his hands, he gently fingered said braid, a slight look of fondness in his eyes.

Gwen noticed and smiled softly (though that isn't to say she wasn't smiling before). “Do you like it?”

His eyes met hers, and he gave her a content nod. “Yes, and I shall thank you for putting in the effort to do so,” Gwen couldn't tell if the corners of his lips were curving upwards, but it certainly looked like it.

“It isn't all that hard,” she shook her head. “I like to believe that everyone is capable of braiding hair like me.”

But no one could ever truly be like you, Gwen.

Roya thought, a slight pink dusting his cheeks. Gwen was special to him. She gave him the love he didn't know he needed, the affection he was deprived of for so long.

Her very presence alone, body and sound, made him wish to devote himself to her, truly. With every fiber of his being, that was all he asked.

He wanted to love Gwen, be worthy of her, and love her just as much as she loved him.

Roya sat up, looking over her shoulder to see what she was reading. “Interesting,” he muttered, eyes squinting to read paragraph after paragraph.

“I don't think it's all that much,” Gwen chuckled, shrugging her shoulders. “It just happens to be a book I borrowed from Tinsley.”

“Tinsley,” that name rang a familiar bell in Roya's head. “Your sister, yes?”

Gwen nodded eagerly, before realizing that his wording implied that he forgot about Tinsley for a moment.

She narrowed his eyes at him, a knowing smile. Before she could even send him an almost teasing remark, Roya angled her head up and stole a kiss.

One that she, happily, obliged to.

He pulls away, his breath against her parted lips. “Is that enough to shut you up?” he questioned her, his voice ever gentle.

That got a giggle out of her, and it was enough for Gwen to muster up the motivation to just- Kiss his forehead.

“Perhaps, my prince. Perhaps.”

༝ㅤ･↝ㅤ˚ㅤ。↬ㅤ.ㅤ⋆ㅤ˚

Roya leaned his back against a nearby tree, reading the book Gwen had read moments earlier, his interest piqued with each turn of a page.

“Are you enjoying it so far?” Now, their roles seemingly switched. Now, Roya was reading, and Gwen laid her head down on his lap.

He looked down, smiling. “Yes. It seems your sister has an eye for literature.”

“She has an eye for a lot of things, frankly,” Gwen closed her eyes briefly, her smile unfading. “I sometimes wonder when she'll ever give herself a break, once in a while.”

“It'll happen eventually,” his free hand made its way to the top of her head, gently petting her as he continued reading.

“I worry for her, a lot.”

“And that makes you a good sister to her, Gwen. The best, even.”

“W-Well, I wouldn't say the best-”

He shut her up with another kiss, this time one that was placed directly over her nose.

“You,” he murmured. “Are beautiful, an encapsulation of all things wonderful, and are the reason I live and breathe.”

He smiled.

“You are deserving of the title of being ‘the best’, my love. For you are someone all people will come to adore, as time passes.”

He knew, because he was one of those people.

A comfortable silence washed over the two of them. There was the occasional remark about certain parts of the book on Roya's part, with Gwen giggling and telling him, “It gets better/worse from there” — but other than that, silence was dominant over both of them.

Gwen's hands laid over each other atop her stomach, eyes finally allowing themselves to close.

Noticing this, Roya's smile made another unexpected appearance and obliged the young prince to allow him to lay his hand over Gwen's.

An assurance that he was there. That he'd keep her safe, even as she drifts to the land of dreams.

Finishing the book, Roya hummed, quite satisfied with the resolution of it all.

It wasn't until he looked down that he realized that Gwen had well — and truly — gone to sleep.

He chuckled, setting the book down, using his now-free hand to gently play with her hair as she lay fast asleep against him.

His eyes wandered, examining every little feature of Gwen's face. From the way it shined against the light, the hints of pink dusting itself on her cheeks — whether by makeup or not —, and the softness of the smile that came upon her lips.

The blush on his face became all the more prominent, but he didn't fight it. He embraced it. Just like how he embraced Gwen now.

Adjusting his position slightly, he wrapped his arms around her, bringing her head to his chest and carefully combing through her hair as she slept.

All with a smile on his face.

Alas, it was getting late. And as much as Roya wanted to stay with his beautiful Gwen for just a little longer — he knew that he had to assist in her return to NRC.

Readjusting himself again, he picked her up in his arms. And surprisingly, Gwen leaned into his touch, her head nuzzling itself against his chest almost instinctively.

Soon, their horses had arrived. They weren't that far from them, of course, but still. They arrived, ready to take the couple back to their respective magic schools.

Roya's horse in particular — named Midnight Barbara, of all things — sent him a knowing look. He didn't even know horses could even be that expressive.

Nonetheless, he returned her look with a look of his own. One with narrowed eyes, pursed lips, and a blush so visible you could almost say he was getting redder than his own hair.

“Don't speak of this. At all.”

It wasn't like Roya expected Midnight Barbara to just…. Learn the ability to speak. But he knows her gossiping ways, always making jokes about his lovestruck nature to her fellow mares and stallions.

(That's what he often believed, at least.)

Placing Gwen over her own horse — Snowdrop — it didn't take him all that long to get on his.

He ensured that Snowdrop wouldn't go out of control, naturally. He didn't want any harm to come to Gwen, especially from her beloved horse, of all circumstances.

He looked down at her sleeping form one more time, smiling ever softly.

Things like this, the love he held for Gwen, and the way he cherished her with almost every fiber of his being.

Things like that, and even the simplest things in his life…

….. He treasured it with all his heart.

[crow-withaphone]

Hello hello I'm thinking about @triple-starsss Band AU again but this time I'm gonna rant about my 2 AM thoughts cause I can't sleep and I dont wanna bother anyone rn jshsj, sorry people you gotta deal with my brainrot now :3

Under the cut- Crow rants about Nova, Surge and Kit's band from their Project Starkiller AU if they were in this T.S AU.

Please keep in mind this is a big ol ✨ What If ✨ scenario, I'm just airing out my festering thoughts

The au in general is very fun and I love it very much. I wanna take the whole AU, put it in a jar and shake it around /aff

Now, as far as I'm aware Vix (the AU's creator) said surge and kit won't be prominent in the au to not give T.S too many rivals (understandable) upon reading this I thought "kinda funny that in my AU they already have a little band with Nova.. waitaminute-

SO since this au is kinda more realistic, Surge and Kit are not lab experiments, just two orphans with way too much emotional turmoil and inner resentment, y'know, for the plot /j. Same thing for Nova except she's not an orphan, she's a home runaway (for context, Nova the Cat is from my AU, Project Starkiller, she's an escapee from a lab in another dimension) Thanks to their similarities, being alone and angry at the world, the trio gets along and ends up sticking together.

Personally I'd have Surge aged up so she's old enough to keep a job and a small apartment so they're not. Y'know. On the streets. Surge is doing her best to provide for them, but it's hard. Nova would be the one to convince them to try starting a "band," not really expecting it to go anywhere, she already brought her guitar with her when she ran away from home anyway so, hey, why not give it a try? Surge agrees because she just wants to yell a lot, and Kit agrees because Surge agrees.

I think it'd be good for them all as a coping mechanism, Kit gets to hit stuff, Surge, of course, gets to yell, and Nova's already doing the one thing she enjoys.

Now, at first they are!! Not good!! At all!! They have very cheap equipment and Surge & Kit are newbies, Nova is an okayish teacher but she's also!! A child!! A child prodigy, sure, but a child nonetheless. As they get better they start posting their songs and covers on.. whatever the Mobius version of YouTube is. Some people like their stuff, and thus starts their lil' YouTube career /hj

Edit: I should probably mention that they aren't rivals of the triple stars band or Metallic Madness- Nova is inspired by them both, Surge kinda hates them both for. Some reason. (Bad vibes ig) And Kit is kinda indifferent

Stars (pun not intended) I hope this made at least a little bit of sense. Iii'm gonna stop ranting now cause it's 3 AM and I need sleep. I'm gonna find this in the morning and probably regret posting it, but for now I am shameless. Hope y'all don't mind this long rant, gotta get my thoughts out somewhere.

And hey, if y'all are interested I'll definitely rant about it more cause this au drives me insane and I highly suggest you go check it out if you haven't

Okay I'm actually done ranting now, gnight creatures within my phone

[shootmethroughmyhead]

I think I finally figured out what bothers me about Firebringer.

Admittedly there's a lot that bothers me about Firebringer, but I'll focus on the one thing that bothered me for the most and longest, and finally figured out today.

Now... this isn't a hate post or rant or anything. I know Starkid worked hard on Firebringer and did their very best, I acknowledge that and respect it,,, but there's problems in Firebringer I don't want to ignore and want to talk about.

Controversial topic... Jemilla and Zazzalil's relationship. Yeah, I know. Feel free to unfollow or scroll past but I really do need to get this off my chest.

There's the half where people absolutely love the ship and think it's amazing, and then the other half where they aren't a fan of it..... and I'm on that side. Jemilla and Zazzalil's relationship always had rubbed me the wrong way, and I never knew why until now.

There' no development. I know I know, "They're cavemen, they don't care about development in relationships!1!1" You're probably right, maybe cavemen only had sex and had no romantic feelings. I wouldn't know, I dont know if there's any evidence or proof to say so.

But Starkid never goes for realism or 100% accuracy. Like, why stop there? Why draw the line at that? I wouldn't care that there was no development if there never was any in the musical... But there is.

I loooove Grunt and Emberly, adored them. They're sweet dumbasses, I fucking love that shit, they're the physical embodiment of "pure of heart, dumb of ass." They're kind to each other and genuinely seem in love,,, but it bothers me that they get development.

Why. They aren' the main characters, the story isnt about them. Why do we get to see THEM start a relationship and see it grow. We get two songs about them and, I don't know, like 20, 40 minutes of them on screen together fleshing it out? Why couldn't that go to Jemilla and Zazzalil?? Why didn't we get to see them develop the same way Grunt and Emberly did? Yeah, we get a song, but I never got the same feeling or vibes as J did with Just a Taste or Paint Me.

Maybe its just me. Maybe I completely miss the romantic tone and vibe in the one song they have to set their relationship up. It's possible, but why not make it clearer? It's totallt possible I'm just stupid, but reading the lyrics and listening to the song I don't get the vibe. I don't get the feeling that it's THAT song. Everytime I watch that moment, I never get the feeling I did like I did for Just a Taste/Paint Me.

It just makes me think of two people, who once disliked each other, hell even dispised each other, had to overcome it and work as a team to save the people they love, their village, qnd get to understand and even appreciate other. Like, I thought this was the moment they were finally going to become friends and respect each other and come to care for each other!!

I thought that scene would of played out like Jemilla seeing how being risky and trying something new can actually be good and even necassary to do things and advane, and Zazzalil begrudely respects and even thinks it's cool to think and plan, and being rational and level headed. But that never happened, and then they ended up together, very randomly???? I never expected it, I never saw it coming. I was thrown in for loop, exactly like how jarred I was with the whole Chorn reveal.

Their relationship felt like it was added in afterwards. Like it wasn't given the same amount of time and work like other parts were. We get to see the other characters grown and change and development in their own ways, but we never saw that in their relationship. We get to see in Grunt and Emberly, but they weren't the focus of the show. They were just a side plot until it got intertwine with the main plot. Which is another thing that bothers me, the plot. It's messy, (not that it's always a bad thing, all Starkid shows are a little messy, like TTO for example), but it's kinda too messy?

Like Chorn's reveal with no set up or without a single clue, Molag constantly breaking the fourth wall to speak with the audience, the jokes in the middle of something going on that aren't always progressive or moving the plot along, just there for laughs. Grunt and Emberly's whole love story. Like, why was it even in the show? Was it to add more time, more script, was the show too empty, was ot just to break up the main story? Take Grunt out and the show would of gone exactly the same, this time Snarl would take a villager and not an outsider. Like I said I absolutely adore Grunt and his relationship with Emberly, but the show could of gone on without it and nothing would of really changed. Jemilla and Zazzalil could of had that time.

I guess it's disappointing, especially to me, that Starkid's first show that had two main characters that were WLW didn't get to properly develop it's relationship, while the straight relationship does.

I'll probably edit this properly in the morning, but yeah that's pretty much it. Tell me what you think. Yell at me, unfollow, agree, whatever. Good night,, love y'all 💕

[whimsically-ominously-auspice]

LL Cool J was anything but cool

"Come on girl get around, come on, come on. Lets keep moving"

This little 3 year old looks up at him "golle man you are dripping sweat and it's 20°!!!"

So the bigger girls taught the little ones all this lingo "dont be trippin' man, we know the way!"

He be all "what the...ain't she white?"

So we had to teach him the wall lean was appropriate. We told him "act like the corner drug dealer and you'll keep them safer than you think"

"But won't i get beat up? Man I'm hot! And its ... What is it snowing?"

"Yup you need to chill you act like you abducting us all over again and were just going to the restaurant"

"Don't y'all want to do this in the dark? Its stark daylight!"

Those girls whipped him all straight.

So we would take turns holding his arm while he spin around pretending to have a mental defect all "im the look out" like we we're a class of kids on a field trip.

It worked cause he did this spin stare look 4 times thing so he could get a real good look at shit without being like hes staring. Like he for real was an oddity on too much drugs or something. He caught a lot a shit.

While it's funny and we can roll with laughter now, his insane levels of stress showed how vulnerable he knew we all were. From anyone getting the wrong idea. The kidnappers saying we were kidnappers and they were the classroom teachers to cops wanting to do any old thing.

We were near Times Square, i could see it from my bedroom window, down a few blocks. So it was always busy which had its upside and downsides.

We blended in but so did people who wanted to keep the girls. As long as we kept LL Cool or let cops know he was a rapper practicing his skill like every other wannabe the cops didn't bother.

They would walk with us a lot as escorts. Which was terrifying, relieving and confusing...

Until we found out LL Cool J couldn't stop tripping so Michael Jackson paid people to walk down in old European type police uniforms with us.

Usually they just walked us from the human traffic facility. Because upon return we were just taking them home so why worry.

But we usually seen 3 or 4 scattered along the block. They came in handy a few times when Jesse and them wanted to mess around. I think it was to annoy the cops off the street. But they didn't play. They beat Matt with a baton one day just feet from us. We stopped to watch every time. Surrounded them so the cop wouldn't get in trouble. The girls idea.

Our survivors are amazing.

Things are different these days for rescue

But still I know those being rescued are amazing and strong willed and gonna survive.

Look at LL Cool J. I think he can finally pull off a rescue without sweating to death... Maybe.

He's good about paying attention to each and every single person. Making sure they each turned the corner safely 3 times a week coming and a going. Each and every single one. "Come on Lets get going" "come on here you're going too" every person.

He really had that intensity. That understanding that every single one was important and he was going to tell each girl.

When he finally super relaxed he would dance the group and he would dance around each girl like "im seeeing you." "Im watching you" he really became a street performer and he would even get up and glare at random men eating doughnuts waiting for the bus all inches from their nose.

We would laugh and tell him to come along and yell an apology.

Of course Matt Hagan had to get beat up a few times and Jesse twice by our English police before he ever fully relaxed.

But he did And he loved all our patients and they loved him. He made it fun.

Im proud of him and Chris.

"Come on girl, get around the way before they get you again --' hey I'm not kidding don't roll your eyes!! Hey!!"

He lived in reality and for him. It was scary.

For me. It was life.

Now? Its so many emotions i couldn't even know where to start.
