She could smell it on him, the ashen scent that came with being what they were and clearly he was very much clueless as to what he was. She had been watching from a safe distance upon her return after the news of her aunt's death had reached her, the new queen of dragons emerging from the whatever depths she disappeared to and the wrath that had come with her for the way they had put Raquel on display for the dragons, it was unquenchable. Now it was her duty to protect their people and so she moved forward from the shadows, making her presence known as she stepped in the baby dragon's path.. "Carson Mikaelson," Reina greeted curtly. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, querido."

[eclecticemmas]

I really can’t get over how good this is. Sometimes I buy fabric on a whim and later uncover its purpose - this one is perfect.

[traegics]

Their relationship had hardly ever been much for seriousness, preferring the jesting and foolery that only siblings could have and yet, as she approached his side in front of their aunt's memorial, a gentle hand sliding against the back of his shoulder, the air around them was anything but light. "Javi," Reina spoke though the words came out hushed, voice hoarse yet oddly comforting. "Ella siempre está con nosotras. This attack against our people, against our family it- it won't go unpunished, I promise. We will serve retribution for her death and all the other innocents that lost their lives in this war."

How many times had he found himself wandering past the memorial erected to honor the individuals that Triad had put on display throughout the supernatural communities? How many times had he stopped before the placard and stared at the name etched into it?

"Soy yo otra vez, tía…" Javi let out a quiet sigh. He was quiet for the longest time; trying to find the words he wanted to say and just how he wanted to arrange them. As he thought, two slow wisps of smoke trailed from his nostrils, like the smoke from burning incense. "No te merecías nada de esto. Ni tú, ni nadie que muriera ese día." He swallowed hard after finally speaking.

"We'll make them pay though, tía. One way or another..." He nodded to himself as he spoke the words. The sound of footfalls behind him brought his thoughts back to the moment and he sniffled back his emotions as best as he could manage.

Admittedly, she had dipped out the second that had been brought to the future from the past, not wanting to stick around to see what miserable time was to be had in the merging of cities. The news of her Tia Raquel's death had confirmed her suspicion's of what was to come and yet she had found her way back, vengeance on her mind and both the figurative and literal crown of queen of dragons being passed down to her. First course of business of course was finding her brother which wasn't all that hard as the ground shook beneath her and the bellowing of his roar brought her quickly into his line of sight, a cocky smirk plastered against her features as she gazed up at him. "You just couldn't resist starting the fun before I got here could you baby brother," Reina questioned playfully, gaze glancing over her shoulder as the triad agents were moving in closer, barely phased in the slightest. "Well what are you waiting for, Sebby? Burn 'em down, show them just how stupid they were for crossing the Mondragon's."

⊹₊⟢⋆ ― sebastián mondragon / open starter / @darkskiesrpgstarters

it might have only been meer hours since he had seen the dead body that was his tia. maybe it had been days. all he new was his beautiful aunt that raised him and took him in when he was just a young dragon when his own father could not step up, she was now gone. taken from him after over 400 and seeing her like that, what they had done to her, burned a fire in him that he had not felt for centuries. the fire burned so bright, he was changing form before he even realized he had. his teeth and jaw dripped with the blood of his enemies and sebastian let out a ground shaking roar as more approached him.

[traegics]

She could scent him from miles away, always one with the keenest of smell especially when it came to her own species. The ash and smoke that enveloped him was familiar but his own individual scent one that was both familiar and unfamiliar all at once. It had her brows crinkling as she moved through the crowd towards him, stopping a few feet away at his side as she nursed a glass of red wine in her grasp. "Enjoying yourself," Reina questions, words soft and delicate as she steals a glance in the other dragons direction. "I'm not much for carnival games but people watching? Now that is far more entertaining."

Roman stood at the edge of the ballroom, the sounds of laughter and music swirling around him, feeling out of place amidst the grandeur. He wasn't used to this kind of celebration. The Mikaelson Ball was all opulence and show, the kind of gathering that made people forget the struggles outside its walls.

Roman's costume, something that made him look like a man from the Night Watch from Game of Thrones, was meant to blend in, but he felt like an imposter. Hundreds of years spent fighting and devouring other supernatural beings in Malivore, a dark, endless prison designed to consume and erase creatures like him—hadn't prepared him for something like this. But if there was one thing he was good at, it was masking his confusion and discomfort. He lifted a glass of champagne to his lips, the cool glass resting against his fingers as the crisp, slightly sweet taste filled his mouth, a polite smile fixed in place as he watched the festivities unfold.

“I don't dress for villains or for innocents I'm on the vigilante shit again I don't start shit, but I can tell you how it ends Don't get sad, get even So on the weekends, I don't dress for friends Lately I've been dressing for revenge.”

MIDNIGHTS ESTÁ ENTRE NÓS !! E como sempre, Taylor nunca me decepcionando e entregando musicas perfeitas pra Scarlett 😭 No momento em que eu ouvi “Vigilante Shit” eu soube que combinava com ela e ai acabou saindo essa edição porque merecia ashasuashuas Talvez mais gente da equipe ganhe uma dessas... vamos ver.

POR FAVOR NÃO USAR ESSA EDIÇÃO SEM PERMISSÃO !!

[blossoms-and-possums]

vigilante shit is @battlehamster ’s wywm regulus’ song. here is why:

draw the cat eye, sharp enough to kill a man

okay, this line is obviously about being able to paint sleek, clean eyeliner on, which we know regulus can do, even after a period of an inability practice.

‘Taking in a deep breath, Regulus lets muscle memory do its job with quick, short strokes [of eyeliner], until he’s got a sharp line on the very corner of each eye. And it’s the best feeling he’s experienced in fuck knows how long. He turns to look at Sirius with his middle finger up[.]’ - ch17.

you did some bad things, but i’m the worst of them

sometimes i wonder, which one will be your last lie? they say looks can kill and i might try

these lines are about power, which we know regulus has. he’s a Black, and yaz has established in wywm that the Black family blood is important. it gets people places, it gets people fired, it gets shit done (and they look good while doing it). 

‘looks can kill’ here could have a double meaning, in that regulus always looks good - ‘[regulus is] pretty in absolutely everything he wears.’ - ch17 - and that his wrath is enough to kill someone. he even mentions a willingness to have lily killed for her neglect and awful treatment of james and harry. ‘Murder has never figured among the list of his crimes, even the ones he wasn’t put to trial for. But he’s also well aware of the fact that dismissing of Lily wouldn’t keep him up at night, because just like Sirius used to say, half of him did come from Walburga Black, after all. If James asked him to, Lily wouldn’t make it alive ‘til sunrise.’ - 17

i don’t dress for women, i don’t dress for men

lately i’ve been dressing for revenge

since moving into james’ place for house arrest, regulus wears clothes that make him happy. he doesn’t wear the trousers and shirts he was essentially forced to wear when he was engaged to barty and working for his parents. his freedom in his clothes and stylistic choices are is ‘revenge’, a “fuck you” of sorts to walburga and the control she had over him.

‘He’s allowed to wear something that makes him feel pretty. Especially if that something happens to be something that would’ve made Mother throw a fit if she saw him in it. And it’s not that oversized t-shirts and cool socks don’t make him feel pretty, mind you. He’s pretty in absolutely everything he wears. But he can’t deny there are certain things that bring him some extra happiness when he puts them on, like overalls.’ - ch17

i don’t start shit, but i can tell you house it ends

so, obviously, regulus didn’t initiate the corruption of the Black Empire. once his parents, lucius, and other employees/members of the family land themselves in prison, and regulus is able to get out via sirius, regulus is able to direct where the future of the Black Empire is headed. he does so by influencing amos into doing his bidding, with the promise of power.

‘“And I will, of course, occupy her place. So, when this shitshow ends, I am going to need a new COO. Someone dedicated and intelligent, but above all, someone loyal. That someone will be you if, and only if, you keep me as far away as you possibly can from Black Industries until I can walk free.”

Regulus slides the stack of papers back to him, and extends his hand.

“Do we have a deal, Amos?”

A bit wide-eyed, Amos is quick to nod, taking his hand.

Regulus shakes it firmly, with a grin crossing his lips.’ - ch11

don’t get sad, get even

regulus has demonstrated a vengeful streak, which i elaborate on a bit more in the ‘vigilante shit’ section, but is shown in this quote: ‘“Of course I do,” he snaps. “I can make her disappear from the face of the Earth and never inconvenience you or Harry ever again, if that’s what you want.”’ - ch17. regulus is willing to have lily killed for her mistreatment of the boys he loves; that is, james and harry. to regulus, this is ‘get[ting] even’. 

so on the weekends, i don’t dress for friends

lately i’ve been dressing for revenge

she needed cold hard proof, so i gave her some

she had the envelope, where you think she got it from?

now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride

after all the miserable years regulus endured away from james, whilst with barty or in prison, he gets to be reunited with his lover, he gets a kid, gets to move into james’ house, and his finally reaching a happy ending. ‘“Not you, Dada!” Harry grunts. “I was talking to Papa!”’ - ch30/31

‘“I can make you the happiest man alive.”

Regulus stays quiet for a long time, enough to make James wonder if he stepped out of line, but then his lip curves tenderly at the corner and the night becomes brighter. “You already do, darling.”’ - ch32

‘“I love you more,” he whispers close to Regulus’ ear, but Regulus shakes his head.

“I regret to inform you that’s impossible,” he tells James. “I love you more.”’ - ch32

picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife

and she looks so pretty drivin’ in your Benz

regulus was gifted a mercedes-benz on his birthday. ‘“Someone sent you the keys to a bloody Benz.”’ - ch17 

also, james got a new car after getting into an accident. and im sure james (im making james the ‘she’ here, hope that’s ok with you all) definitely looks pretty when he drives :) ‘“I should have the new car by then so I’m going to drive down to the office for that, you won’t have to see Bobby again.”’ - ch24

lately she’s been dressing for revenge

well, he was doing lines

and crossin’ all of mine

someone told his white collar crimes to the fbi

this line is so self-explanatory, i feel like this headline will more than suffice. ‘‘REGULUS BLACK SENTENCED TO SERVE ONE YEAR AND EIGHT MONTHS BEHIND BARS IN AZKABAN FOR WHITE COLLAR CRIMES.’ - ch1.

and i don’t dress for villains or for innocents

once more, just elaborating on how, with his newfound freedom (ironic, given the most freedom regulus has is during house arrest for his crimes, but i digress) regulus dresses only for himself. ‘Oh, nothing, besides the fact that he spent years forcing himself to put on suits and ties and leather shoes and fucking belts every time he had to dress up like a proper businessman, even when he was in uni, and then the time he spent sitting behind a desk, eating grilled salmon for lunch and resisting the horribly strong urge to tell his secretary to cancel all his meetings because he was going to jump off the balcony. To be fair, putting on some jeans will never, ever amount to that sort of torture, but still.‘ - ch11.

i’m on my vigilante shit again

i think it’s safe to say regulus would consider himself a vigilante. by definition, a vigilante is someone who undertakes law enforcement without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate. this definitely rings true with what we have seen with regulus. most obviously is with the lily situation, and having her deported from india back to england, and stripping her of her ability to work where she had been. notably, regulus does his vigilantism behind james’ back. repeatedly. 

(1.) ‘“Hold on, is this about you getting Lily deported back to England?” James wonders. Regulus doesn't think he's ever been robbed of his words as quickly as in that moment. “What?” he wheezes, shoulders falling on his sides. “How the fuck did you know about that?”[...]

“I know you, Black, whether you like it or not. And that night you asked me if I had any news on her, you got that look in your eye... The look that always, always means trouble,” James tells him. “Every time you got that look I used to fear for some poor soul's safety, (2.) like that time some Hufflepuff called me some names and you got his head and eyebrows shaved off right before the Yule Ball.”’ - ch17.

james goes on to say he never knew how regulus did ‘that’ - shaving the hufflepuff’s eyebrows off before the yule ball - and regulus then tells him. as previously mentioned, regulus also intends to reform the Black Empire with amos diggory’s assistance, which could be yet another example of his vigilantism.

ok. that’s all i got rn.

Midnights songs as Fictional characters (you don’t have to agree)

Anti-Hero: Eve Polastri (Killing Eve)

Some people might think this is Villanelle’s song but I disagree. Throughout the show Eve’s pursuit of Villanelle isn’t to protect anyone or help Carolyn, she only does it because of her need for revenge and her obsession and love for villanelle. In series 4 she cuts villanelle off, trying to blame her for what happened “I’ll stare directly at the sun (villanelle) but never in the mirror. Eve was always that person,villanelle just made that part of her more visible. Eve polastri is an Anti-hero girlie and we love it for her.

You’re On Your Own Kid: Ellie Williams (The Last Of Us)

I don’t think I even need to explain this one.

Vigilante Shit: Yelena Belova (MCU)

We all know Yelena is a Reputation girly and this song feels like it was made for her. “I don’t dress for women, I don’t dress for men” we know that Yelena is aroace. “Lately I’ve been dressing for revenge” obviously Yelenas iconic outfits in Hawkeye. “Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie” The Red Room, Melinda and Alexei, Valentina, Yelena has always been lied to. “She don’t start shit but she can tell you how it ends” Yelena never wanted this life, didn’t want to become a Widow but she still took down the Red Room and killed Dreykov she ended it.

Karma: Marta Cabrera (Knives Out)

A sweetheart who got the reward she deserved. “I keep my side of the street clean” she didn’t do anything wrong, she didn’t even poison Harlan, she gave him the right medicine. Everyone attacked her, treated her like shit, used her and thought they could outsmart her but through her kindness and inability to lie she comes out on top. “Me and Karma vibe like that”

*okay this was harder to make than I thought but it was so much fun, I know people won’t agree with this but it’s just what I thought. I might make one of midnights songs as fictional couples :)
