Thank you to everyone who has read this chapter. Leave a comment and Reblog, please. I'd love to hear your thoughts. ❤️

Everyone's eyes were on you, likely thinking you didn’t exist. The Celestial Enterprise knew the proper miss and acknowledged by your father, the CEO, as Victoria.

This time was different. They were more invested because of the person walking beside you, Bucky Barnes.

You were nervous, for sure, but Bucky was calming you down. He said, “Calm down, I can hear your teeth chattering.”

“I’m not,” you replied. Was it that obvious? You pinched your thigh to clear your mind with the pain.

Bucky chuckled. It was true your teeth didn’t make a sound, but he could feel your fear, so he tried to bring back your fierce character. “Look at all these people. After tonight, they will remember who you truly are.”

Yes. He was right. Before, you could only dream of this, never taking a step because you knew the bridge would be destroyed by your stepmom first.

But this time was different because you could cross the bridge with Bucky's help.

What kind of luck did you have to have Bucky supporting you?

Flashback Start

After remembering everything, Bucky felt a surge of anger at the people who had kidnapped him. But now, that anger was replaced by gratitude as he recalled how he was saved. It was you and your grandma.

It must be God’s work that brought you and him together again. Bucky knew he had to repay the kindness he received from you both.

He went to his parents' house early in the morning. His parents were already up, enjoying a short walk. His dad was sipping coffee and eating toast while his mom was reading the newspaper.

“Son? What are—?” Juliana began, looking up from her newspaper.

“I remembered,” Bucky interrupted, his voice steady.

Bucky’s dad, Rowan, curious but skeptical, remarked, “You forgot something?”

“Shush,” Juliana said, flicking her husband’s hand lightly. She quickly understood what Bucky meant. “Everything?” she asked, her eyes wide with concern and hope.

Bucky sat down to join his parents, taking a deep breath. “Including the person who saved me,” he said, his voice filled with mixed emotions.

His confession took his parents by surprise. The time when Bucky was kidnapped was the darkest day of their lives, like a living hell. It was then that they realized money could bring security and danger. Their only son had become a hostage.

He was kidnapped for two weeks. It was a miracle when the police from an outlying city called to say they had found him. Actually, it was a woman and her granddaughter who discovered Bucky. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Juliana and Rowan wanted to thank the people who had saved their son, but when they tried to get more information, the police said no one was in the cabin anymore.

At that time, there was no social media or viral news. They wanted to keep searching, but they stopped because of Bucky's trauma. He had lost all memories of his kidnappers and the people who saved him.

Although they stopped searching, the Barnes family never stopped being grateful and wishing the best for the people who saved Bucky.

“Could you describe the people who saved you?” Rowan asked, leaning forward with interest.

“Even better. I met them,” Bucky replied, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

His parents were even more shocked. Juliana’s hand flew to her mouth in surprise while Bucky’s dad sat back, stunned.

“We have to meet them. As Barnes, we never forget the people who helped us,” Rowan declared, his voice filled with determination.

Bucky nodded, a serious expression on his face. “Before you meet them, I need your help.”

His parents listened intently, their faces a mix of curiosity and readiness.

Juliana reached out, touching Bucky’s arm gently. “Whatever you need, son.”

The luxurious car parked in the school parking lot, drawing curious glances from students. Bucky stepped out, straightening his jacket, and made his way toward the school entrance. It had been a few days since he last saw you, and he was eager to catch up.

As he approached, he heard loud cheers and shouts from the male students, echoing through the windows. The lively and raucous atmosphere was a stark contrast to the quiet, private school he had attended. Intrigued, he followed the noise and found himself at the field track.

He initially thought it was a running exam, but quickly realized it was something different. A group of students was running, chased by someone wielding a baseball bat.

It was you.

You had taken off the cast from your left arm, and as you ran, you swung the bat with determined precision. The sight made the students you were chasing scatter in fear.

"I'm sorry!" Jimmy, one of the students, yelled as he ran.

"Destroying school property with graffiti is a big no, Jimmy," you called back, your voice steady as you gained on him.

Jimmy, looking over his shoulder in terror, suddenly spotted Bucky standing ahead. He remembered this rich man from his previous visit to the school.

"Bro! Help me out a bit," Jimmy pleaded, darting behind Bucky in desperation, using him as a human shield.

Bucky raised an eyebrow, glancing back at Jimmy with mild amusement. He turned his gaze to you, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.

You stopped when you saw Bucky, your bloodlust evaporating.

"Oh, hi! What are you doing here?" you asked, catching your breath after the chase.

Bucky, looking out of place compared to you, covered in sweat and still holding the bat, smiled. "What lessons are you teaching right now?"

"Attitude," you replied, pointing the bat at Jimmy, cstill hiding behind Bucky. "This lad behind you wants to be Jackson Pollock. He painted the school's clean wall with graffiti."

Bucky glanced at Jimmy and then back at you. "He did wrong. It must be a hassle to clean it."

"Damn right. The principal will make me clean it," you grumbled.

"That's not fair. I will call a carpenter to paint the wall," Bucky said firmly.

"Really?" Both you and Jimmy asked at the same time, surprised.

Bucky nodded. "As payment, I need to steal you for the rest of the day."

"Yes, please. Bro, take her with you," Jimmy said eagerly, pushing Bucky closer to you.

Neither of you expected it, and you were ready to help Bucky if he panicked. Bucky had prepared himself too, but nothing happened, even though his heartbeat was racing.

"You're not...?" you began, your eyes searching his for any sign of distress.

Bucky grabbed your hand. "Let's go. I want you to meet someone."

"Wait," you protested, but Bucky was already leading you away.

Many students watched in astonishment as their fearless teacher held hands with Bucky. After a brief second, they erupted into cheers.

"Get it, teach! Get it!" "Woohoo! Love is in the air!"

You felt the back of your neck grow hot with embarrassment, but you couldn't help but notice that Bucky seemed different. His grip on your hand was firm and steady, his posture confident.

🍷🍷🍷🍷

Bucky takes you to a luxurious hotel restaurant. The hotel manager welcomes you both warmly, guiding you through the elegant lobby. As you walk, you feel a bit out of place in your casual attire, a stark contrast to the opulence around you. It's been a long time since you've set foot in a five-star hotel.

The manager leads you to a private room and opens the door. Inside, two people are already seated at the dining table. You recognize the woman, and suddenly, it clicks—you're meeting Bucky's parents.

"Oh my god," you murmur under your breath, hastily brushing your hair back and fixing the collar of your shirt.

Juliana rises from her seat and approaches you with a warm smile, wrapping you in a hug. Your hands hover awkwardly in the air, unsure of how to respond. How could a wealthy lady like her be so friendly?

Meanwhile, Bucky's father, Rowan, the CEO of a major company, smiles at you with genuine warmth.

"Thank you for saving my son," Juliana says, her gratitude evident.

You blink, confusion written all over your face. "I... I don't understand."

Bucky clears his throat, drawing everyone's attention. "I haven't talked to her about that yet."

Juliana chuckles softly. "No wonder she looks clueless. Forgive my son. Please, take a seat."

You sit down, feeling all eyes on you. “What do you mean?”

“Do you remember years ago, you and your grandma found a boy?” Juliana asks gently.

You think about it for a moment. Your grandma? A boy? The memory is blurry, but you recall a boy that your grandma brought to the cabin.

"The next morning, the boy was gone, and we had to leave. It turned out my father had taken the rights to that small cabin too," you say, piecing it together.

“I was that boy,” Bucky reveals.

“You—? No, I don’t think so. Oh my god, it is you,” you gasp as the realization hits.

Cassandra pats your shoulder reassuringly. “That’s why we wanted to meet you. It’s such a small world.”

“Hahaha… yeah,” you laugh nervously, still processing the revelation.

Rowan leans in, his voice filled with gratitude. “We’re forever grateful to you. You and your grandma saved our son's life.”

You feel a rush of emotions. “It was my grandma who found him,” you say modestly.

Bucky nods. “And that’s why we will give Cassandra the best treatment.”

Your heart leaps at his words. This is such a great gift. “Thank you…” you say, holding back your tears.

Juliana offers you a tissue. “This is just the start, my dear. You deserve so much more.”

Bucky and his dad nod in agreement.

“There are two things that she wants: Velari and her childhood home,” Bucky states firmly.

Rowan and Juliana exchange a look of surprise. “That’s it? You only want to get back Velari and the house?” Rowan asks. Because they could give you so much more.

You clear your throat, gathering your thoughts. “To be honest, my knowledge of business isn’t that good. I only want to get back the business that my mom and grandma put their blood, sweat, and tears into. Looking at the design that both women created for Valerie, the root concept of Velari is gone. It has fallen into consumerism.”

Juliana nods in agreement. The old designs from Velari were classic and timeless. She’s too shy to tell you she’s wearing a Velari shirt, but she appreciates how you admit your limitations. You’re not greedy.

Juliana interjects, “What will your father say?”

“He’s only a father in name. He was never a father to me,” you reply, bitterness creeping into your voice.

The Barnes nod their heads, understanding the situation of your family. They know that your mother died of a heart attack after discovering her husband’s infidelity, and that your father prefers his second wife and younger daughter over you.

You look at their supportive expressions, feeling a mix of sadness and gratitude. It’s painful to realize that strangers are more willing to help you than your own blood relatives.

Juliana claps her hands together, breaking the somber mood. “That would be easy. You will get back what’s yours, dear.”

You feel a wave of relief wash over you. “Thank you.”

Flashback Ends

🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

That brings both of you to the anniversary of Celestial Enterprise. With the support of the Barnes family, you are no longer scared.

Genevieve and Jonathan approach you both. Genevieve wears her one-million-dollar smile, polite yet the fakest smile you’ve ever seen. Inside, she wants to curse you with the most evil words she knows.

Victoria has resigned herself from the party. It was supposed to be her daughter standing beside Bucky, not you.

You smile at your so-called dad and Genevieve, especially her. Jonathan, who used to turn a blind eye, now sees you as worthy of his time.

Genevieve, who used to look at you as if you were beneath her, is now scared. You feel that karma is catching up with your stepmom and stepsister.

[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

I said chubby Remus hcs in connection to buff Virgil and I am here to deliver!!

CW: suggestive, body issues

Remus and Roman are built the same so keep that in mind

Remus knows he isn't skinny or built like a Disney prince or a dorito but does that bother him? Nope!

When Roman starts to bemoan his fate, Remus will point out that chubby was the ideal royal body type or

Remus will do his "my great great great granny survived the famine" dance. And yes, he sluts it up to prove a point

This dork is not afraid to show some skin and if that gets a certain spider to secretly ogle him, well that's just a bonus

When he's not eating toiletries and stationary supplies, Remus actually has a very balanced diet. Naturally he indulges in sweets and fatty food, because he can and it tastes good

Virgil absolutely loves his squishy dukey. He's so cute and cuddly, and soft

Remus is thrilled whenever Virgil uses his thighs or tummy as a pillow

This man jiggles when he walks, and dammit if he doesn't make it sexy as hell

One time he wore a corset (that he stole from Roman) just for fun and Virgil tore it off because he doesn't need to hide himself. Remus was too busy being gay for buff Virgil to completely understand

Roman was not happy about the destroyed corset but it could have been so much worse and he knows it

Remus is a tough puppy when it comes to criticism, especially about his gorgeous body, but he would be devastated if Virgil ever tried to suggest he lose weight

The only time that came close was when Virgil suggested Remus start working out with him. He quickly explained that it would be great to bulk up and let off steam (and not so quick to admit he wanted to spend time with Remus)

When they're cuddling and Virgil is really tired or maybe a little drunk, he will absolutely cover Remus' tummy in kisses. Occasionally he'll include the thighs too. Remus is a ticklish guy so he always giggles like crazy

Remus has taken up belly dancing to show off his stuff. And yes, he wants to show off for Virgil, who always seems to be straining to sit still during his performances

Roman is the exact opposite when it comes to his body. Occasionally Remus will try to bolster his confidence, only to be shot down. Remus always vents his frustrations to Virgil while Virgil cuddles him

"I'm an earthquake in the bedroom! Sink into my holes and watch everything shake! Watch your back San Francisco, I will destroy you!" -Remus trying to flirt

Virgil is at least a little amused. It's not like this dork mentioned "daddy milkers" again

I cannot stress enough how much Remus loves the fact that Virgil can carry two of him with little strain. He knows he's a big boy, which means that Virgil is fully capable of skull crushing. And Remus has a skull meant to be crushed!!

But he'll take being squished and adored too. His Scare Bear loves squishing him in the warmest hugs

Virgil tends to grab him by his softest bits to pull him closer in general. Remus knows his bf can't get enough of his sexy body, and he can have as much as he wants!!

Hell Y E S Chubby Dukey!!! I L O V E L O V E L O V E how fucking confident Ree is about his body manz knows he's the whole damn menu wearing crop tops/any revealing outfits and his B U F F Emo definitely agrees <3 Also the tummy kisses P L E A S E that's S O fucking cute he's just a giggly mess as Vee worships his body and showers him in affection!!! He adores a gentle Spider who looks like he can C R U S H him but he'll still take getting carried around and smooches any day <3

#also i'm O B S E S S E D with belly dancer ree his hips don't lie for the emo your honor <3 #dukexiety #remus sanders #virgil sanders #roman sanders #ts remus #ts virgil #ts roman #sanders sides #thomas sanders #asks #answers #brandstifter-sys #not a countdown

Sunrise on the Reaping theories + thoughts so far (pt 1)

here's a collection of the most likely and most interesting head-canons and stuff I've seen, both fandom-made and my own

NOT MINE BUT EXPANDED & CONNECTED BY ME:

• Tigress pov, as an audience member, maybe she's Haymitch's designer

• we got a tribute pov, a mentor pov, now we could get an audience pov because of the themes of propaganda she emphasizes... we could also get multi pov if she wants to do smth crazy and appease all fans

• Unreliable narrator, perhaps screwing with the reader's head on what actually happened in the games, capitol editing footage out

• Perhaps Tigress observes the games and originally starts off oblivious to the truth but the more she watches and helps Haymitch the more she begins to see the truth, and so the capitol punishes both her and Haymitch for it

• Lucy Gray is midnight, Haymitch/Maysilee is sunrise, Katniss/Peeta is sunset (symbolic of the progression of the games. Lucy Gray wiped out and forgotten, Haymitch the escaped glimmering sliver of change, Katniss the blazing fire and finale)

• Maysilee wore the mockingjay pin in the arena but the capitol edited it out of all the footage

• Themes of light vs dark, truth vs lies, the audience starts out unaware and conflicted but comes to see how things really are

• Katniss parents could appear??? Maybe we'll see Mr. and Mrs. Everdeen fall in love??

MY THEORIES + THOUGHTS:

• (canon) The arena is an illusion. Flowers, water, fruit, mountains, animals. It's beautiful, heavenly, too good to be true, it doesn't seem real... well, it's not real. Everything seems normal and like you know what it is, but the Entire Setting is actually poisonous and deadly. JUST like the theme of propaganda and lies, she says the book is about. The arena itself is a meta layer to things not being as they appear.

• the cover will have a mockingjay and a sunrise or sun-flare, gold against purple

• the "sunrise" in the title is symbolism, for a person and a theme, likely symbolic of Maysilee Donner because of her kindness and humanity and spirit casting light in the face of violence and war (the reaping). A light the capitol would've snuffed out, to hide the truth. (I have a whole essay on this + maysilee's importance pls check my feed)

• Maysilee is the real mockingjay, and very important, not just a random dead background character who passed down the pin to Katniss. We know how Collins' brain works. Look at TBOSAS. Look at how she foreshadowed Lucy Gray as early as the first book. 

• the mockingjay isn't just one person, but a symbol of resistance and goodness and freedom, that anyone can take on as a mantle, an idea rather than tied to one thing or person. Lucy Gray, Rue, Katniss, and likely Maysilee.

• a rebellion almost happened with the mockingjay pin and Maysilee and Haymitch and perhaps Tigress seeing the truth last minute, but the capitol snuffed it out and destroyed all the evidence of such a thing ever happening, including Haymitch's family and punishing Tigress, leading Panem and the readers themselves in the dark and at peace. Maysilee is the warm sun to bring the spark of a fire, her pin symbolically passes onto Katniss through her niece, thus passing on the resistance and legacy. ....symbolic of how the mockingjay had the will to survive, even when it was destroyed and wiped out.... It escaped and became stronger in the face of its enemies....

• ...for all we know, Katniss' dad didn't die in a coal mining accident, but perhaps was a rebel himself and the capitol planted explosions in the mines to get rid of him. we can't just blindly trust the narrative.

• If Haysilee is a parallel to Everlark, what if Haymitch's girlfriend is a Gale figure? This isn't just because I'm a haysilee shipper I'm built to be a multishipper I'm FIGHTING not to be biased I'm openminded, but i feel the haysilee content in my bones and it's definitely a possibility

• the capitol (and Snow) believes that humanity is vile, that humans will always give into instinct and fend for themselves, that you can't trust or love or anyone lest it lead to your downfall. So... If Ballad was about humanity's corruption, perhaps Reaping is about humanity's goodness (the bond between Haymitch and Maysilee, Tigress seeing the truth despite being a capitol/audience member, perhaps the Capitol cut the footage of that bond to prevent a rebellion like Everlark's relationship later induces) 

• Most people are saying this book will be super depressing and focused on the capitol's propaganda succeeding to stop a rebellion, and I do agree, but, that doesn't cancel out highlighting themes of goodness and friendship but rather enhances them. Perhaps that very thing is what we're missing from the footage, what the capitol succeeded in covering up, raw humanity being the thing that defies their propaganda the most, and punished anyone who acted otherwise (Haymitch, Tigress...)

PART 2 IS COMING SOON to address the fandom discourse with my personal thoughts on whether this book will be about Haymitch and if we need more District 12.

and why Collins would logically choose to tell this story (regardless of pov because that could be anything at this point she'll upset someone either way)

#so many thoughts so little time #(we have an entire year its too much time) #i think some people aren't being objective enough in their theories or looking at how suzanne is writing this series as a whole #i want more unique stories and other districts too but if she's choosing to write the timeline haymitch won there's a reason for it #and it doesn't make sense to pick someone random we don't know like a career its too disconnected from the overarching story #these arent little spinoffs she's weaving together a wider picture of the entire story #yeah snow's pov was unexpected #but he's a major character we already are familiar with #she didn't choose lucy gray's pov bc we DONT KNOW HER #she expands on existing threads and story bits she's not gonna just pick a random story when she has MAYSILEE the og PIN OWNER #the hunger games #haymitch abernathy #maysilee donner #haysilee #sunrise on the reaping #haymitch's girl #suzanne collins #thg series #catching fire #thg analysis #katniss everdeen #everdeen #madge undersee #haymitch x maysilee #mockingjay #katniss and peeta #sotr #lucy gray baird #the hunger games headcanon #district 12

Anyway, OC ramble time ⬆️⬆️ about this fucker

Forbearance of Reciprocity (FoR) was built not so long after Void Revolution. Though he came out rather.. unsuccessfully. The construction process was uncoordinated, because it was led by people who were not very competent for this work, and FoR came out, one might say, defective...

He has malfunctions and failures (they often bring physical pain and discomfort, by the way) more often than other iterators, and they can be fixed only by Ancients. And, unwittingly, Forbearance makes mistakes in calculations, in research, and in general in almost everything, no matter how many times he rechecks his work.

Iterators almost never make mistakes (at least not as many as he does), so Forbearance of Reciprocity, to put it slightly, has caused a lot of resentment in the local community. Although there were those who wanted to just disassemble him, no one could - it is even more difficult to do than to build him, and besides, it is much more expensive. And it would not be possible to just fix him: he's too much of a mess. It's easier to just leave it as it is.

So there he was - dissaponting both his people and himself. No matter how hard he tries to do everything right, it's still never enough.

But ancients are gone now. Cycles go on, malfunctions accumulate and cause pain, more intense and more unbearable with each passing day...

However. He found a loophole. He has a chance at a normal existence, one that he should have had from the very begging! Something that will allow him to fulfill his mission, for which he was built.

He is not going to just sit and wait for an agonizing death, having achieved nothing, while having such an opportunity in his hands.

And if this opportunity requires sacrifice, then so be it.

#rain world #rainworld #Silly Forbearance. angry at everyone and everything including himself. but does not even suspect that I'M the one who keeps ruining his lif #*destroying him with a hammer /affectionately* #rain world oc #oc #oh and #*puts hands on your shoulders* #*looks you right in the eyes* #I. fucking.

Do current Marvel Writers hate Professor Xavier or something?

#the past years’ comics’ writing makes no sense for his character #not to say he isn’t manipulative or a chessmaster in planning #but it seems very clear to me that the writers are doing everything they can to make the founding leader and father figure of the X-Men #as comically irredeemable and unlikeable as possible #in comparison to their obvious favorites #professor charles xavier #is no saint #but his main motivation had always been for mutants and humans to live together in harmony #so it makes no sense for him to be so obsessive towards Krakoa #to the point of sacrificing his own people and dooming humanity #if you want the original team to grow past depending on their leader you can do that without destroying their relationships #and the whole ‘you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain’ schtick for charles is not a good look for Marvel #but this is just my opinion #an unpopular one but mine all the same #in my previous blog #I’ve said before that the only good thing to come out of the Krakoa arc #were the outfits #but now i feel like nothing about Krakoa was worth exploring as an arc #again #just my opinion #if the ‘97 X-Men series keeps fast forwarding through different arcs #i wonder if they will make the Krakoa arc easier to stomach if they include it at all #x men #xmen #marvel comics #marvel

What I find humorous but also tragic is that the Harry Potter franchise is honestly mediocre. It's overrated and oversaturated thanks to consumerism, and JKR was just lucky.

There were and probably still are thousands of writers out there who are overflowing with more talent and potential that JKR could never fathom to harness, but are sadly overlooked because of the stupidest and insignificant little things.

There are plenty of people who made it, but don't deserve to. There are plenty of people who have absolutely zero talent but are considered superstars in their industries because they just happened to be at the right place at the right time. For every average celebrity, there are probably one hundred tremendously gifted above-average non-celebrities somewhere in the world struggling.

Don't ever sell yourself short.

#personal crap #no but fr I remember reading HP books and watching the movies as a child #and now fast forward almost twenty years later and my brain has fully developed #and going through them again as an adult...they are just not worth all that hype #and it's really a horrible shame that JKR fucking destroyed herself because she just didn't know when to stop #the bitter reality is that everything ends #and that includes anyones “glory days” #but don't get me wrong JKR is still a terrible person and deserves no sympathy #many other people in their field have fallen into the same trap #sometimes when the story's over: it's simply over #and you have to let it go so someone else can get their turn #it's not “quitting while you're ahead” it's knowing when to stop so that your failures don't overshadow your successes

Neo in this one bts photo of Only Friends is making me loose my mind. I already know that Boston is going to be my favorite give me the most toxic self-sabotaging man to ever live I can't wait to watch him burn everything down including himself

#only friends #only friends the series #gosh i love characters who are messes #i love irredeemable assholes who destroy everything around them #thinking about nick's line in the trailer: without you everyone would have stayed friends. #and whew boy i'm exciting to see how he ruins everyone's lives including his own #cause you know that he (and maybe all of them) are going to end up miserable from their own choices

tbqh there’s nothing more boring to me than the interpretation that gerald never cared about shadow. its. fine. anyone can think what they want. but i think it’s a grave disservice to gerald’s character and to shadow’s frustrations. shadow was made with LOVE. that is the beauty behind his creation- it was made with love and care for maria, and for humanity. he was meant to save the world, not just maria. gerald cared enough about shadow to give him a real soul, to make him a real boy. he cared enough about him to send both him and maria off the ark during the raid. he cared enough about him to encourage him to defeat the black arms. he cared about shadow. he loved shadow.

but the tragedy behind gerald robotnik, behind this influential humanitarian, who spent his life serving the people of earth, was that the very same people he served destroyed what he loved most. the tragedy of gerald is that he let hate rot him from the inside, he let revenge fester in him like an infected wound. and at the end of the day he decided his hate for humanity outweighed his love for shadow. and that is the tragedy of gerald and shadow’s relationship. that the man who did not just create you but also loved you like his own grandson also ended up manipulating you for his own agenda, disgracing his granddaughter’s last wishes just to get revenge. that’s the tragedy here.

#UGH. #i feel like it’s worse to know that you were loved but it wasn’t enough!!!! it wasn’t enough to stop the man from his downward spiral! #it wasn’t enough to stop him from tampering with your memories! to stop him from destroying everything! #gerald is burning every single bridge including the one between you and him #and you are not enough to put out the fires #WAGGHHG #sega official speaks

Do you ever think about what Wyatt and Billie’s relationship would look like? I mean, do you ever think that maybe he sees Billie as an omen? A prophesied witch with not only extraordinary power, but projection specifically, that evil has hunted and desired for years, to the point of creating intricate plots to turn them from a young age? (While my Wyatt doesn’t realize yet, the fact that Billie and Wyatt both fell into evil’s clutch in the past? That their redemption came at their sibling’s life? That their deaths can be traced directly to them?)

Imagine Billie post-series, who has lost. honestly, everything in under a year. She went from a confident, headstrong newly-discovered witch determined to save the day to a powerful witch who lost her entire family and was manipulated and used by evil to attack good as a whole. After all of that, I don’t really think that you walk out of that without it becoming a deeply impactful and integral part of your experience.

So a Billie who is more subdued and removed from magical affairs. A Billie who knows the price and risks with magic, especially her own. A Billie who learns how to master her magic, because she’s already seen the consequences of her failures, but there is no real need for it anymore with the lack of demonic attacks. And she is asked, by the sisters who she betrayed and had to earn their trust again, to help teach a witch just like her to control his powers.

Beyond her own experiences, do you think Billie ever told the sisters about Dumain showing her what Wyatt was supposed to “become”? Or did she just chalk it up to his lies and manipulation? And even if she did tell them, do you think that the sisters would be able to tell her? When they themselves never actually knew how bad it was in the unchanged future? When they’re still unsure if they can trust her again and handing her that information includes telling them how, despite all of their power, they could still do nothing as a son/nephew died in front of them?

So she tries to impart how important it is that Wyatt uses his powers for good, not to harm. She trains him to control his power, tries to teach him to respect it as something incredibly dangerous. She conveys over and over again that projection is powerful, but dangerous and if you’re not careful, it can create a lot of harm. She isn’t his only teacher, but she, with her own history and the same power and the knowledge that he will outclass them all and that vision that is bad enough without considering what else he is able to do, is the one who is able to understand best. Piper and Phoebe and Paige are extremely powerful, obviously, but their power is rooted in their bond and that itself helps keep them in check because there is a balance. Billie, her sister (the key) dead and her as the real Ultimate Power, is the closest to knowing what that’s like.

Except Wyatt is Wyatt, his mother and father’s son in everyway but especially his heart. He’s the child who tried to prevent conflict before he was even born. He’s the child who took everyone’s burdens on himself as his to solve before he could even speak. He needed to protect his loved ones, no matter how powerful they individually were. When he failed, he blamed himself. When people struggled, and he couldn’t help them, he blamed himself. Not only does he blame himself for not being able to save or help people, he pins his entire worth as a person on his ability to help. This is the child who thought that he deserved to die because of his father’s grief and inner turmoil, something he wasn’t even to blame for. And he sees so much of himself in Billie, sees her story as a warning if he is to slip to the wrong side, if he is to be blinded to evil and used as a weapon. He takes every message that Billie tries to teach and internalizes it just a little bit too much, takes it just a bit too personally.

And imagine what happens. Billie, who can relate to Wyatt’s potential future just a bit too much, trying to teach him caution and instead teaches him fear. Wyatt, who sees a bit too many similarities in Billie’s past, transforms her lessons of control and innocents into repression and his value. Because they see those similarities, but they don’t quite see the differences and those differences change everything.

#charmed #abi speaks #wyatt halliwell #billie jenkins #charmed meta #*pterodactyl screech* #this wasnt supposed to be sad!! this wasnt supposed to be depressing!! #but now im crying at 1 am about billie and wyatt #bc they're so similar but their differences change absolutely everything but they're both drawn to those similarities #and so instead they both create this fear about wyatt's power and what he can do which just fuels that fear and aghhhh #this!! was not!! the plan!! #i wanted to sneak in a joke about them both being blonde but where the fuck am i supposed to include that #how am i supposed to make a blonde joke in this?? #but also this v briefly touches on the fact that i feel billie is an incredibly interesting character after the conclusion of the show #tbh she's. insufferable on the actual show but i wanna try to have her as an actually decent character #and the tragic backstory can help with that bc. your parents are dead. your sister is dead. #you (probably) failed out of school and lost all of your friends due to your obsessive magic focus that you couldnt tell them #you betrayed the only people who were still there for you #you are twenty years old and your life is irrevocably destroyed #and you are the only one left to pick up the pieces to try to rebuild something that made any of it worth it #there is no way that doesnt become an integral part of who you are for at least a while #like. look at that amount of trauma in the span of under a year and let's see how billie pieces together something #bc there are no more demons. there are no more fights. there is only your grief and your betrayal and your mistakes that you have left #with all of that no wonder she tries to earn the sisters forgiveness. with all of that no wonder the sisters forgive her #bc what else could happen when its piper who lost a sister and phoebe who became evil for love and paige who lost her parents #bc who else can even attempt to understand besides the sisters that she betrayed? and bc they DO understand they forgive her #honestly i think that could be a pretty powerful story lmao #hey abi are you okay lmao idk im losing my mind over billie jenkins at 1 am what do you think

Lmaooo was reminded that Emet Selch created Allag and the tower is Allagan and it’s just another gd thing G’raha (Prometheus) stole from him. The grandpa feud does not stop getting deeper.

#Prometheus G’raha is fucking genius I’m sorry. stealing light and giving it to man CONSTANTLY #ffxiv #g’raha #emet selch #Prometheus #shadowbringers spoilers #my post #N’ephele’s notes #so far my ‘light’ metaphor for stealing light from the gods is #azem / Apollo in ancient times (stole his heart and attention d’awwww) #(Wol / N’eph (same. but also the light literally in him when he tried to self sacrifice) #the tower (literal). the tower (metaphorical #ie. hope for a future for men when all the gods want to destroy everything and start over #‘the gods’ as a metaphor does include all the ascians but he has the most beef with emet #in ancient times Apollo was hades and hythlo’s little guy (son/nephew vibes) and this lil punk came and encouraged him to *explore* gross #also prom has Phoenix powers and hades is in control of the aetherial sea and he’s like WHY. WONT. YOU. DIE. #honestly if I ever write something properly about this I’m going to have to come up with a reason emet doesn’t just kill the exarch outright

💯 "When a partner says "do anything you want to me," what do they do first?" and 👪 "Did their family or how they were raised impact their sexuality? How?" for the ask game, with Auriel and Beelzebub if applicable? If not, for characters that do apply. :)

You have no idea how excited I was to see an ask for some specific characters omg... my disaster children too.... thank you so much!!!

💯 "When a partner says "do anything you want to me," what do they do first?"

So Auriel and Beelzebub both enjoy the sensation of being in human bodies. Auriel is a straight up masochist and loves pain. They are also incredibly sensitive still to all the little things that happen in the human body. They can feel the blood in their veins. They can sense the release of hormones and track how it changes their body chemistry. And because of this they absolutely love the sensation of being near death or even the sensation of dying within a human body; the climax as they rush closer and closer to death before it finally fades away.

Beelzebub, on the other hand, is more sadistic. She gets pleasure from causing pain and suffering. And the fact that Auriel begs him for it? Oh he loves that so much. Like Auriel, she also enjoys the human experience. But while Auriel is more in tune with the physical side, Beelzebub is more in-tune with the emotional side and how certain experiences make her feel.

Auriel is typically more submissive to Beelzebub; after all, they have a lot of responsibility and to let go is pleasurable for them. Meanwhile, Beelzebub grasps at control. So Auriel would most likely be the one to tell Beelzebub to do anything he wants to them. And Beelzebub would most likely tease Auriel's senses first; mixing in light, more typically pleasurable experiences (such as kissing, light touches, petting, etc.) before doing a hard-left into more sadistic and violent means, such as cutting Auriel open, burning them, breaking their bones, and etc.

👪 "Did their family or how they were raised impact their sexuality? How?"

So the angels in Soft Touches, Godless Hands don't have a family like humans do. They are created to do a specific job and live in a hierarchy. That being said, the authority over one another and the submission to God is incredibly stringent.

Angels are expected to completely abstain from sexuality since they do not have physical forms. They cannot feel things like a human does. They cannot derive pleasure or pain or any sense of that nature. Each angel is in tune with different aspects of the universe and each other. Because of this, all angels live incredibly strict lives.

I am not going to quite share why Beelzebub Fell as I want that to be a part of the story, but lets just say that her and Auriel's relationship, while both were angels, were closer than other angels and even other seraphim. And its the fallout of that temptation that has pitted them against one another, along with the strict dogma Auriel follows.

For Auriel, they decided to step outside the role of a seraph and assist the archangels in taking care of the third dimension due to the Fall of so many angels. And because the seraphim did not have much else to do. They are in tune with God, and God has turned away and shut them out. So the seraphim are struggling to keep everything together. Auriel is a proud creature and uses the strict ideology they embody to be abusive to themselves and others. Because of this, any thought of sexuality gained through their time living in a human body is a shame for them. They are in pure denial for a large part of the story, and the story will have a lot of focus on Auriel trying to not give into their own temptations and wants. Of course, by living in denial, by blaming others for their own actions and wants is a horrible way to live and tears not just them apart, but those they touch.

Auriel denies their sexuality. Beelzebub yearns for sexuality. Two sides of the same coin, really.

#stgh #soft touches godless hands #writeblr #writeblr community #tw violence #they are so violent and awful and gay for each other and i love it #they are absolute disasters and they destroy everything including each other #and i think thats beautiful #not r mentioned here but Auriel and Beelzebub also partake in eating one another. mainly Beelzebub eating Auriel #Literally. something something trying to meld Auriel's emotions with his own and bring them closer to her #you get the idea #dark fiction #toxic romance

Thinking about that time in our first campaign my character's dad (adoptive, a very important baron) almost died.

Apparently, he was supposed to. He was not supposed to survive contact with the lich. Don't even ask me how or why we got to the lich, genuinely all I remember is panicking because all of a sudden he had like five hit points and as the party schemer I had two thoughts that erased my awareness of everything else: (1) MY FUCKING DAD (2) THIS LICH IS GOING TO KILL US.

See, my job is finding ways to get us out of things, and as a wizard, I was well equipped to handle that. Except thought one, "MY FUCKING DAD," took priority over EVERYTHING ELSE. My little wizard was orphaned and down his only brother. This guy was all he had. His whole world. World's #1 dad.

... And the lich almost one shot him. He was collapsed on the ground and struggling for breath. This did not register as a cinematic moment to me because I was PANICKING. We roll initiative.

The lich rolls highest. I'm frantically looking through my notes to see what's available to me. Tries to kill me, too. Counterspell.

My turn. Throwing ALL CAUTION to the wind, plan only vaguely half formed, I run up to the baron and tell the DM I'm going to drag him back to the party.

"Your speed is halved from carrying him. You can't make it in 15 feet."

There's dead silence. Everyone is waiting for my response. Seconds of silence. "What are you going to do?" (DM speak for "please hurry up.")

"... I'm a tabaxi. I can make it in 30."

I double my movement speed and drag him back there anyway, to the confused relief of the party. Our sponsor (MY FUCKING DAD) is safe for right this second, but how are we going to fight a LICH?

"Anything else?"

"... I have a scroll of teleport in my bag. And I'm within 10 feet of everyone." Most importantly, I'd DUCKED BEHIND A WALL OF BARRELS AND CRATES so the motherfucker couldn't see me to counterspell.

There's dead silence for a few moments. The voice chat proceeds to blast my eardrums with excited cheering and laughing. The DM and I both pull up the spell. "Roll for it. Where are you going?"

"Home."

I roll a 99. We vanish from the lich's lair and are deposited, battered, bleeding, without guidance, in the charred, crumbled ruins of what had been the baron and I's residence. (It had not been that way until very recently. It was news to me.) There's relieved silence. There's an emotional reunion in what remains of our living room. I cast Tiny Hut in a defensible corner of the ruins after we all chat and we get what sleep we can.

(The DM would later confess that the baron wasn't supposed to survive and he had to change his plans now lol. We were supposed to be cut off from all resources at that point. My dad showed up in the final fight since he'd survived TWO murder attempts [ig the BBEG was the third lmao] and, well. I schemed then, too.)

#dnd #LET ME TELL YOU #the utter SILENCE. after 'you cant make it' #my heart was POUNDING. there was NOTHING to me other than this situation i was blind to the world #the DESPERATION when i remembered im a tabaxi and YES i COULD #but there were still other variables i had to account for #positioning. THE LICH. would the spell even work? where would we end up? we were out of almost everything #would i just drop us into another danger and it was all for nothing? #UGH #'i can make it in 30' i have never sounded so determined about ANYTHING in my LIFE #other schemes include 'suggest spell the enemy wizard give me his spell focus' #(he was too high level for us to fight but they wouldnt run. session ended mid combat and i spent the week plotting) #(roughly the decision was 'well he thinks were friends [charmed] and im ALSO a wizard so he wouldnt see an issue') #(dm had the spell wear off as soon as i grabbed it and we. two WIZARDS. played tug of war with the staff) #there was also 'i dont think we can destroy this magic rune about to explode but i can turn the table its on to ash' #not to mention 'hey i dont think we can fight that giant. phantasmal force loser' (we were in a narrow mountain pass) #(we were apparently supposed to fight him. the dm just had him show up when we went to go BACK through the pass) #update: it was phantasmal KILLER not force. i needed the fear effect so we could escape. i got the names mixed up #also i won the tug of war and proceeded to never use the magic item #now. the fully charged staff of power. well. thats a different story #rip the bbeg #oh this is. a long post i should add a read more #also on the slim off chance one of you recognizes this post no you didnt im not here
