Dark OTP Asks

I was looking for some angsty OTP questions and couldn't find any, so I decided to put together my own. Obviously more mundane, normal couples might not have good answers for a lot of these, but for a certain kind of people...

Free to use and all that jazz.

What is the darkest secret they know about the other?

Do they have any dark secrets from each other?

What is something they could never forgive the other for?

What is something that could actually destroy or end their relationship?

How do they each express their anger? Which of them is more dangerous?

Are they each able to hurt or kill someone? Under what circumstances - only to protect their partner? Could they even to protect their partner? What do they each think the other's answer would be?

What is the worst or darkest act they have committed together (or with the knowledge of the other)?

What is the worst thing they have been through together?

What is the worst thing they have done or endured for the other? How much does the other know?

What is the worst they have hurt they other? What could cause them to intentionally hurt each other?

What are some of their worst qualities, individually and as a couple? In what ways are they toxic or bad people?

People are complicated - now justify or excuse those bad qualities.

How are they good for each other's traumas?

What's the most vulnerable they have seen the other? How did it make them feel?

What would they do if the other died? How would that change them?

Bonus: Having spent all this time talking about how they are bad people, say something admirable about them. How are they impressive? How are they good together?

Nancy x Jonathan + Taylor Swift songs

TREACHEROUS // I can't decide if it's a choice / getting swept away / I hear the sound of my own voice / asking you to stay

CARDIGAN // I knew you / your heartbeat on the high line / once in twenty lifetimes

PAPER RINGS // In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool / when you jumped in first, I went in too / I’m with you even if it makes me blue

RUN // there's been this hole in my heart / this thing was a shot in the dark / say you'll never let 'em tear us apart / and I'll hold on to you while we run (like you’d run from the law)

#stranger things moodboard #jancy moodboard #jancy #Jonathan Byers #Nancy Wheeler #stranger things #otp: monster hunting #run is THEIR Taylor Swift song no questions at this time #cardigan is only a jancy song in a dark timeline where they breakup but I’m including it anyway #I mean come on…you drew stars around my scars…that’s them #my edits

OTP-Questions

from @the-moon-dust-writings

1. Who said „I love you” first? Kit, but Ty will totally say it first the next time they meet, because Kit's way too scared.

2. Who laughs and kisses their partner on the cheek while their partner isn’t happy about something trivial to try and make them feel better? Both

3. Who cuddles up to the other after a long day at work, and this soon escalates into a pillow fight? Ty, but without the pillow fight.

4. What is something that they gave one another that has a lot of meaning? Ty gave Kit his first and his most important rune, Kit gave Ty his mother’s necklace

5. How would one another describe their partner? Kit would hold a way too long monologue about Ty’s eyes and his beauty and Ty would probably describe him based on facts…

6. Who wraps their arms around their partner as they look them in the eyes and compliments them with a goofy smile? Both, but Kit is probably more cautious to touch Ty

7. Who loves saying “my wife/husband/spouse”? Kit definitely, he’s totally the one who gives Ty the weirdest nicknames, so weird that even Ty is confused by them.

8. Who always talks about how amazing their partner is when their partner isn’t there and they just light up with genuine love and happiness? Kit. With the lighting up part. Literally.

9. Who loves it when their partner kisses them good morning? Both

10. Who shows the other how to balance a spoon on their nose? Kit, because he’s a dork.

11. Who loves to pull pranks on the other? What type of pranks do they pull and do they pull their pranks off? Ty likes to prank Kit by just silently appearing beside him and not saying anything for ages, until suddenly starting to talk and scaring the shit out of Kit. Kit doesn’t pull pranks on Ty anymore because Ty will totally figure them out before it even happened sometimes even pranking Kit with his own prank. But don’t tell me they don’t like to prank others. They totally do and this pranks are so genius that no one can figure them out before.

12. What is something small that they would randomly pick up for one another? Whatever the other wants them to pick up?

13. Who is the one who couldn’t stop laughing when trying to tell a joke? Kit

14. Who would plan the other a surprise birthday party? Ty, he hates surprises but knows others love them.

15. Who picks the other person up when hugging their partner? Both I guess, but more Ty because he’s smaller. That doesn’t mean that Kit can’t pick him up though. He can and will.

Okay, just saw the meme roc0717 posted of her MC being kidnapped after she rejected Sebastian xd

I couldn't help but think of Clora and Sebastian because I love the way you draw them and describe their interactions 😭😭😭😭 They are definitely my OTP! Your work is the salvation of all us Ravenclaw girlies who love Sebastian but there are very few fan arts of him with a Ravenclaw MC.

My question is, how would you describe Sebastian's reaction/response in the hypothetical case that Clora had rejected him in chapter 13?

(English is not my native language, sorry for the mistakes 💀).

LMAO I SAW THAT TOO AND IM SO GLAD YOU THOUGHT OF SEB AND CLORA BECAUSE SO DID I😭💖 i was already considering drawing it but your ask made me actually do it LMAOO (idea taken from roc0717's post)

look at the happy couple. also to answer your question for what seb would have done if clora rejected him in chap 13, ive also thought about it and tbh i dont even know LMAO. probably pic related (though to be honest hed probs just bottle up his depression/feelings, focus solely on his studies/his O.W.Ls. maybe become a dark wizard who knows LMAO. also your english is perf no need to apologize!!)

#hogwarts legacy #sebastian sallow x mc #sebastian sallow x oc #sebastian sallow #ask #seb def gives me potential yandere vibes tho i can legit see him being manipulative if clora did reject him LOL #like maybe leaning further into the dark arts just so that shed have to keep a closer eye on him #god maybe it would have been a corruption arc LMAO kinda sexy ngl

Tankhun, oscar winning director

I'm a little buzzed so enjoy this lovely prompt that's running around my head.

So Prapai and Phayu have had such a difficult time dating as the youngest sons in the mafia. Potential partners are scared off by their reputation, their family name, the constant danger that they're in. Or, if someone can see past all that, their fathers/uncles end up ruining it by over interrogating and invasive questions and hostile suspicion.

And Tankhun's heart just breaks. He's witnessed so many amazing love stories on television - and some even in real life! From all of his fantasy couples and OTPs to watching his brothers fall in love with two sweet boys, he simply can NOT have it that his two nephews fall in love. (Yes, two nephews, because any child of Pete's will be spoilt the minute Tankhun walks in the room.)

He just has to come up with a scheme like on television for Phayu and Prapai to have the love story Tankhun deserves to see they deserve to have. Tankhun will be just like a director - he'll write the story and cast the parts and maybe even win an oscar in the end.

First, he has to cast the story, he has to find perfect matches for his nephews. Prapai needs someone who won't let him always get what he wants, someone who has even the potential to be okay with a life as dark as they lead. Phayu needs someone outgoing to bring him out more, someone who won't cower at his overbearing personality. Arm compiles a list of young bachelors and bachelorettes (though he's not sure how the find would react to having a woman marry in) in Bangkok, ones with no connection to rival families, ones that would not be easily persuaded to betray, ones who just may be worthy of holding the hearts of his nephews.

The list is decently long, so then they start to be pickier - only ones that were cute, ones that would look good in future family photos, ones who had nice hands that could maybe carry a family ring one day. It takes a while, but Tankhun divides his time evenly between watching his dramas and creating this drama.

Second, Tankhun has to write a rough draft. He takes a few from the list that he knows wouldn't work and tries some rough ideas out. Phayu is immediately put off by the pretty girl who spills her coffee on him and Prapai doesn't look twice at their cute waitress on their monthly family dinners. There is promise in the boy who stages a minor bicycle accident in front of Phayu and the girl who stumbles into Prapai at the library. Tankhun is working out kinks as fast as he can, writing what he can with the multiple possibilities until -

Third, he has to find a location. And there are a couple of pretty boys and girls from their list that could reasonably bump into either boy - some who work at the local café down the street from Prapai's office or some who have friends who take their cars to Phayu - but there are a few students from Phayu's university who are actually on their list and it's perfect, so many options - tutors, academic rivals, study group partners, meeting at a college party - and Tankhun considers each candidate thoroughly - one girl is voted off when they see her obnoxious Instragram posts, one boy is tossed to the side when they found a history of him filing noise complaints o his neighbors. Nark.

They scour social medias, past report cards, contact very confused neighbors and employers for references until Tankhun has his perfect two. A young man for Prapai and a young man for Phayu.

Tankhun writes the cutest first meet that he can for both - Rain's car will get a flat tire at the same time Phayu will be leaving the compound to head home. Though he could wait until they meet at a university event, but that's plain and predictable and Phayu will note have a boring love story. Tankhun watches from the bushes - well, he's watching on his phone from his bedroom as Arm and Pol film it through the bushes - Phayu is far too chivalrous to not offer to help, just like Tankhun knew! He is charmingly confident and impressive as he works on the car and Tankhun can see the moment Rain is swept off his feet.

Tankhun is pulling the strings for everything - he pays an actor to mention the street race in front of Rain and Sky (because Tankun is already very protective of his future nephew in law and there will be no need for his piece of shit ex to be involved), the guards working the race are instructed to chase Rain and Sky into Phayu and Prapai. It continues on as awkwardly forcing segues with Phayu about this article he read on how to support someone with ADHD or with Prapai about how to be a safe space for people you love. Arm and Pol are there to film all the meetings Tankhun has planned out so Tankhun can keep up with his favorite romcom starring this nephews.

But it's not enough, Tankhun has to experience this first hand, so he just happens to leave a magazine open on a page advertising a car show in Phayu's room at the same time he works up the nerve to go outside the compound - it still happens, but not all the time - and Tankhun had no idea car shows could be so fun, everything is so shiny and sparkly and -

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, my favorite nephew! I came to...buy your uncle Porsche a new bike, of course! Who is this cutie hanging off your arm?"

It's Rain, twenty years old from Korea, only child of two parents married in 1998, an architecture major with a 2.76 GPA, blood type A+, no troubles with the law besides a speeding ticket last year, speaks four languages.

But Tankhun doesn't say any of that out loud. He already approves of Rain, already loves him, and he's going to be the favorite uncle and Tankhun chokes up when he realizes he's the first member of the family to meet their newest member.

And he plans the same thing with Sky - a few weeks later to recharge from going outside - mentioning in front of Sky a new restaurant to offer egg stew (because Tankhun paid them to put it on the menu). He waltzes in as Prapai and Sky get their food and prepare to eat.

"Oh, my favorite nephew! I'm here...to try their new egg stew of course! I saw you and your friend here already ordered some, how is it, scooch over so I can sit with you, move, move."

Tankhun gives Sky his most charming smile and he's already planning Sky's outfit for their Christmas card this year. As he sits there getting to gush over Prapai and Sky, Tankhun chokes up again as he realizes he's a guest star in his favorite show now. He's been a guest star twice.

And he knows how the family can be, so Tankhun keeps orchestrating more meet ups with the rest of the family so that his two new in-laws can grow to accept their quirky family. He takes Chay out and they run into Rain at the library, he takes Pete to bump into Sky at the mall, he takes Kinn to visit Phayu at the garage while Rain is visiting, he invites Kim to find Sky at a cafe by the school because Kim has known about Rain and Sky the whole time. Little shit. Someone should talk to him about how many secrets he's keeping from the family.

I don't know where this is going because I'm a little inebriated, but like, Tankhun plotting out the PhayuRain and PraSki romance because he loves his dramas, but also because he wants to make sure his nephews fall in love with good people and ensure no one hurts them. He uses his decades of knowledge about dramas and on screen romances to create the best love story he can.

So stoked to get to explore Dathomir in Fallen Order! It’s sort of surreal, though, because my introduction to Dathomir and the Nightsisters wasn’t the Clone Wars series. It was this:

This was my favorite of the EU books as a teen largely because it focused on Han and Leia’s relationship (my very first OTP) and also because it featured a planet of matriarchal, force-wielding, badass ladies. And Han won an entire planet in a card game. (Yes, the planet in question was Dathomir.)

There are some significant differences between book Dathomir and what has since become canon. First, it wasn’t just the Nightsisters on Dathomir - there were clans of Dathomir women whose force magic tapped into the light side, who were also matriarchal. Both sides were interrelated - it was an ideological divide. Second, using the Nightsisters’ type of dark side magic caused visible, physical damage (bruising). (Over all, it was an interesting concept, but some of the writing hasn’t aged well. It was progressive for when it was published in 1994 - not so much by today’s standards.)

Honestly, I like what they’ve done with the Nightsisters since the book for the most part (I do miss the balance of not having the planet be 100% dark siders), but there is one thing that got left out that always disappoints me: In the book, rancors are native to Dathomir (that’s why there’s one on the book cover). And all those badass, force-wielding ladies? They rode rancors. They kept them as massive, lethal pets. It was the best thing ever.

I was hoping that maybe - just maybe - Fallen Order might throw in a rancor somewhere to fight. Or even just seen shambling in the distance. But no dice.

Le sad.

Merrin deserves a terrifying rancor to ride in style.

My entire fandom life I had reservations towards the "dark-skinned man dominating a frail pale woman" dynamic (mostly because people have the tendency to be very weird about it and even those who are normal about it can't catch a break because antis LOVE throwing shitfits at them when they remember they exist) but what do you know... My current OTP involves that exact dynamic. I've been coping with this by pushing my reservations to the back of my mind and shipping them like I ship each of my "dominant man x submissive woman" ships, but the problem is that I like going hardcore with those types of ships and as such, sometimes those reservations resurface

Helpme

No, making the woman dominant is out of the question. I prefer my fictional women submissive and I rarely if ever make them dominant

Just Go To Sleep - First Night

Rating: Gen || Chapter Word Count: 1176 Chapter Content Warnings: sharing a bed trope, slow burn

Just Go To Sleep Masterlist || Next || AO3 Work Link

Year of the OTP Event: August Prompt "AU of Your Choice" @yearoftheotpevent

Your back hurts. Janna, your back hurts. You roll onto your other side for what feels like the millionth time in the two hours you’ve been trying to sleep on Silco’s god-forsaken couch. Your shoulders ache, your spine is shouting at you in a dull, stinging vibrato, and the sandman won’t visit you so long as you have such a pain. This isn’t going to work.

Your blanket lands on the office floor with a quiet sigh, huffing indignantly as you march over it to Silco’s quarters. The door is even quieter than you are as you turn the handle and peek in, and you’re surprised that it’s unlocked. Perhaps Silco left it that way in case you needed him, lucky for you.

Silco’s room is pitch black, such that you can’t see what you may run into, causing you to stumble several times. It takes a few seconds before your eyes adjust and you can see the bed and the outline of Silco’s body as he sleeps softly on his side.

Now, how to proceed… you’re in here but what do you do? Wake him up and ask for a better sleeping spot? Ask to sleep in his bed with him? Just crawl into his bed? 

Thinking, you mindlessly start towards Silco, listening to the sound of his steady breathing as you inch forward, slowly, carefully, quietly… until you run into the dresser. Your poor big toe catches on the stubby wooden leg and it sends you reeling, cracking your forehead into the rest of the hulking piece of furniture. You’ve never thought dressers were more ridiculous in your entire life.

Clutching your throbbing foot in one hand and your forehead in the other you tumble down to the floor in a much larger crash, but you’d kind of given up on being quiet when you loudly collided with the dresser.

A sigh erupts from the bed and a Silco sits up, taking off an eyepatch that one can only assume is for his molten red eye. That eye glows in the darkness of the room and you can feel the heat of his glare boring through you.

“I don't think you could have been any louder.” You’d be embarrassed if you weren’t so caught off-guard by the much deep, dark timbre of Silco’s voice. It’s a rough growl, gravelly in all seconds that it rings out, and you can practically hear its diaphragmatic origins by the way it rumbles. Your shock does not go unnoticed to Silco, and he scoffs at your stillness.

“Never heard of morning voice?” he asks, and that same growlish tone gives you a tingle on the back of your neck. Before you can answer his question, Silco is out of bed and flipping on the light switch.

“What do you need?” He sounds less annoyed than you thought he would have, but maybe he just isn’t awake enough to feel or convey that emotion yet. He’s still holding his eyepatch, fidgeting the strap between his thumb and forefinger with slow, almost deliberate twirls.

Silco looks at you, expecting an answer, but you only manage to sort of dumbly look at him, still a little surprised with yourself for being in Silco’s bedroom. His eyebrow arches.

“Um, the couch is really uncomfortable and I’m having trouble sleeping.” His eyebrow arches still. “And, er, I know it’s rude to ask since you’re already offering me space but I do work a full-day tomorrow and I was just wondering if you had any other place I could sleep?” You chew on your lip and try to maintain eye contact with Silco, it usually helps when asking for something, otherwise he doesn’t quite take you seriously. You watch carefully for any tell-tale signs on his face, a quirk of the lips, the slightest twitch of his eye, a clench or unclench of his jaw, or perhaps an unarching of the eyebrow. Nothing so far, Silco only gives you a quick look up and down, as if scanning your body for any malicious intentions. And then that eyebrow relaxes, taking away from some of the wrinkles on his forehead as it rests just above his sea-green eye.

“I know you can’t sleep,” he grumbles, “I can hear you tossing and turning in there.” Silco puts a hand on his hip, thinking, and almost entirely dismissing your red face. “You aren’t the only one missing sleep.”

You can’t help but recall the times that you’d switched your position on the couch, and you realize you were quite loud. Between pillow moving, body and limb shifting, and annoyed groaning, it’s no wonder you kept Silco up. Wait, was he awake when you first came into his room?

After a few more seconds of thought, Silco sighs. “You can sleep in here or in the bar,” he says matter-of-factly, quickly adding, “though I imagine you have no intentions of requesting the bar.”

You imagine going down there while it’s likely still just barely active, a few drunkards taking their own naps, waking up to your boots melted into the booze-sticky floor. Of course you’d have to be in your day clothes, no way you can be clad in “pajamas” in there.

Apparently, your displeasure with the idea of sleeping in the bar is evident on your face and there is a wordless exchange as Silco invites you to sit on the bed. He disappears into a closet, presumably to get any extra bedware you may need. And despite your chill-fueled desire–something you’ve recently acquired as you realize how chilled Silco keeps his room–you don’t slip under the covers. You can see where Silco was before you rudely interrupted his attempt at sleeping and you feel uncomfortable with the idea of shifting his pillows from the middle of the bed to one side, so you instead wait for Silco to move his own spot over.

The man comes back with a lot of pillows, a pile stacked so high you can barely see his eyes over it. They fall unceremoniously onto the bed, some falling onto the ground as well, which you quickly pick up and toss to the pile.

“Are we building a pillow fort or something?” you ask, a joke you regret making as Silco gives you a tired glare; he’s beginning to wake up enough to feel and express annoyance.

“Get whatever pillows you need to sleep on and get in.” Ignoring your comedy genius, Silco gestures to the bed and, to avoid making him more sour (and to escape the cold), you hurry your ass up, grabbing one pillow and slipping under the covers.

Without another word, Silco climbs in after you and begins taking the pillows piled on the bed and situating them between the two of you. It makes more sense than a pillow fort. 

Once he’s checked that the pillow wall is secure, Silco turns the light off and rolls very much deliberately to face away from you.

“I’ll see you in the morning.”

“It is morning.”

“Just go to sleep.”

Twenty questions for fanfic writers

I was tagged by @agent-troi and @randomfoggytiger Thanks for the tag, guys!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

53

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

712,000 exactly, which is sort of creepy?

3. What fandoms do you write for?

The X-Files mainly, though a million years ago I wrote two fics for JAG, and technically, I have a His Dark Materials fic (but it's an XF crossover)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Mesas of Deuteronilus Mensae

Prompt Drabble Collection

The Annapolis Grant

Three Part Harmony

A Companion Unobtrusive

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to! Comments are the only payment fanfic writers get, and it's an incredibly valuable and underrated currency. Fanfiction as a community is one of the most generous you'll find, and I'm incredibly proud to be a part of this particular one.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oh man, probably La Comtesse de Saint-Germain.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

In this day and age I feel like we deal with enough shit, so I try to end most of my fics happily. I think A Gem-Like Flame probably has the most uplifting happy ending, but then, I'm a sports nerd.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I haven't yet.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Um, probably pretty vanilla het MSR. No shame.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I've only written one, but it turned out really well, I thought. It's an X-Files/His Dark Materials novella-length crossover that takes place in Lyra's world, pre-Lyra, called Out of the Little Grove.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Anyone who steals my fic is going to catch these hands.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, a couple of years ago someone asked if they could translate one of my fics to Russian. It's out there somewhere.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I jumped in and helped @monikafilefan get Five Years and a Lifetime over the line for a fic exchange a couple of years ago. A fun, collaborative experience, that was like 85% Monika. It's a great fic, check it out if you haven't!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Mulder & Scully are my OTP. Always and forever.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I'd love to finish Madam Scully's Spiritual Services, Inc., it's an AU where Scully works for her sister's Psychic Boutique while prepping for med school. Scully ends up being actually psychic and she helps newly minted FBI agent Fox Mulder solve a series of murders. I have it almost completely plotted (except for the nitty-gritty hard stuff), but I don't think I'll ever get it done, sadly. It's just too big a story to tackle with where I am in my life. Though I never say never.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I'm decent at dialogue, have a pretty firm grasp on plotting, and, I hope characterization.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

My character work is probably my weak spot, which is why I have so much fun writing fanfic--the character work is already done, I just get to play around a world where everybody already knows the characters.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

When I do it, I hope like hell that I'm doing it right. I think it's necessary for some stories and you just hope you're properly respecting a language you don't speak.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The X-Files, in the year of our lord nineteen hundred and ninety eight.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

It's a toss up between Proof of Life, an AU where CNN conflict reporter Dana Scully is kidnapped and imprisoned with fellow kidnap victim and photojournalist Fox Mulder, and they, you know, fall in love. And North of Zero, a post-col novel where Mulder and Scully get William back and have to save the world. The one I totally pantsed (made up as I went along), and it came together like alchemy. I love that story. If you don't like AU, you'd like Proof of Life. If you don't like post-colonization stories, you'd like North of Zero. I don't always like everything I've written after I'm done writing it (a writer's life), but I'm incredibly proud of both of those fics.

Tagging @monikafilefan because she's already tagged, and anyone else who wants to do this!

K.P. Masterlist

This fanfiction is born from my dissatisfaction with the way Kai was criminally underutilized in the TVDU. Honestly, I found him annoying at first, but he grew on me as season 6 went on. Thru Chris Wood's charming performance, Kai stole the show for me. I'll never forgive the showrunners for a lot of things, including underutilizing Chris Wood in this role & not allowing this broken king to have a real redemption arc.

On the topic of the showrunners, I'll never forgive them for how they did Bonnie Bennett or the Bennetts in general with how they were limited to magical plot devices for everyone else's use without any appreciative focus on their power & how it could really benefit them. Even though I love Bonnie & Kai, my otp endgame for her has always been Bonenzo, but I also adore Klonnie ❤️.

My AU changed and added plenty of lore around his coven & certain events. The plot follows the life of Bonnie's younger sister, Rosalina "Rose" Bennett-Ruiz. I go on to describe her below, but I'd like to state that she acts as Kai's antithesis as an innocent, fledgling witch. She's also Bonnie's support system. I always hated how the show often ignored that Bonnie lacked family around her that were unconditionally there for her. Bonnie's mom left when she was small, she lost her grams in season 1, and her father was a non-factor in her life until he returned... just to get killed off in front of her.

I wrote Rose & Bonnie's dynamic keeping in mind everything I hate about older sibling/younger sibling dynamics, like the one between Buffy and Dawn in BTVS. Bonnie deserves family that consistently supports her, encourages her to prioritize her well-being, and actually tries to lessen the existing load on her shoulders.

Another thing I kept in mind when adding Rose to my TVD AU is not to have her replace or take away Bonnie’s space in the plot. Now, I do give her Bonnie's plotline of being sent to the prison world in season 6, but this is essential to the story, and the way Bonnie was treated that season made me so sad that I have no problem taking traumatic experiences from her (of which she has more than enough) and giving them to Rose.

Okay... if you made it through my rant, congrats. I also want to offer my inbox as a place where anyone can offer up requests, scenarios, ask questions, even if you want to roast my cruddy writing... my inbox is open.

🌹Rosalina "Rose" Bennett-Ruiz:🌹

Born: March 18th, 1994 (18yrs)

Gender: Female | Height: 5’1” | Hair color: Brown | Eye color: Hazel

Race/ethnicity: Black and Latino/Hispanic

Species: witch (Bennett)

Titles: Rosy (Kai), littlest witch (by Kol), kid (by Damon)

Characteristics:

Rose is a gentle and kind-hearted person, always looking for the good in people and situations. She can be a people pleaser and she’s naive and overly trusting, often seeing the best in everyone and believing in second chances.

She highly values family, so bonding with Bonnie means a lot her. Due to her naivety and weakness, she can be easily manipulated and taken advantage of. Like Bonnie she’s compassionate and tends to selflessly help others. Struggles with powerful spells because of her insecurity in her magical abilities

She enjoys singing, gardening (honing her nature-based magic, making potions & studying herbology), sewing and cooking (she bakes when she’s anxious)

She has a strong aversion to blood & violence so spending time with vampires took a lot of getting used to

Trilingual: fluent in Spanish & Portuguese

Despite her demure demeanor and virginal innocence, with her stuffed animal collection, enduring love of cartoons and a lack of dating, she harbors the secret desire to submit herself to a powerful dominant

Background:

Family: Bonnie Bennett (half-sister), Jamie Ruiz (half-brother), Abby Bennett-Ruiz (mother), Matteo Ruiz (father 🕊️), Sheila Bennett (maternal gm🕊️)

Rose was raised in Summersville, North Carolina. She was a child model until 13 when her father tragically died. She was the captain of her high school majorette dance team. Her life drastically changed when Bonnie arrived on her doorstep.

Rose was 16 when she & Bonnie would finally meet. Bonnie and Elena came to Abby for help with a spell. Rose was shocked to find that she had an older sister as Abby never mentioned Bonnie or the life she left behind in Mystic Falls. She was even more surprised upon finding out about her magical bloodline and that supernatural creatures walked the earth. Unlike Grams, Abby never mentioned magic throughout Rose’s life and even went as far to suppress her magic with a charmed necklace

After Abby is turned by Damon, she decides to leave her family to learn control and find peace as a fledgling vampire. Rose moves to Mystic Falls with Bonnie where she learns magic from her.

Magic doesn’t come naturally to her. Admittedly having a 50% accuracy rate with her spells. She struggles with her confidence & focus when chanting and spells drain her much quicker even when she tries channeling the energy around her. Despite this, Rose is determined to improve, valuing her one-on-one time with Bonnie and spending late nights on her own practicing & memorizing spells. She is determined to use her magic for good, prove herself and lessen the load on Bonnie as the resident Bennett witch of the group.

Her role in the Mystic Falls gang is the “Bennett witch in training” or “the bringer of baked goods” (according to Damon), since she often supplies their gatherings with fresh pastries. Everyone underestimates her power, even Bonnie. She tries to keep Rose out of danger unless she can’t help it.

🔪Malachai "Kai" Parker:🔪

Born: May 9, 1972 (22yrs)

Gender: Male | Height: 6'0" | Hair color: Dark Brown | Eye color: Blue-gray

Race/ethnicity: white/non-Hispanic

Species: siphoner (Gemini Witch coven)

Titles: abomination, black sheep, the defective twin (his coven)

Characteristics:

Charismatic with a charming smile. Upon meeting him, his charisma operates as a façade to hide his lack of empathy and his sadistic tendencies

Can be hard to read but that’s because he struggles with expressing his emotions which stems from his abusive childhood. He’s cold and relatively unfeeling with people, but once he lets someone in, he’s fiercely loyal and protective.

He can be observant, calculating and manipulative to taking advantage of someone and get what he wants

He’s a sassy man, often comes back with quick quips and has a natural sense of humor (typically dark humor)

When he’s comfortable, always yapping, has no filter and sucks with certain social cues. After being alone for nearly his whole life, will talk anyone's ear off without realizing they are not willing to listen

Kai can siphon all of a witch’s magic without killing them. He controls how the process feels - at its worst, a fast searing burn to a slight tingle. Overtime, a witch will regenerate their magic

High libido!!- He’s starved for touch and affection (though he would never admit that he needs anyone). Sexual desires reflect his sadistic personality as he enjoys dominating another person through absolute control and pain infliction

He likes raunchy comedies and media with half-naked women such as Bay Watch and MTV videos. A major foodie with constant cravings for sweet and salty snacks. He prefers snacking throughout the day but when he does bother to cook, it’s really good

He is fluent in old Latin, often found in grimoires and other ancient texts. Time allowed him to hone his knowledge of witchcraft and technique

Background:

The Parker family is the head of the Gemini coven. Its patriarch, Joshua Parker is the coven leader. Kai is the eldest child, being half an hour older than his fraternal twin, Josette. Unlike Jo, Kai was born without the ability to generate his own magic, instead siphoning magic from lingering spells, objects, or other witches. When he was young, he would naturally gravitate toward the magic of his sister, so Joshua quickly decided to physically isolate Kai from everyone for fear of his son's "defect" hurting others.

As fraternal twins born of the coven leader, Jo and Kai would be set to merge on their 22nd birthday, where the winner takes the other's magic and coven leadership and the loser dies and is absorbed into the other but with the risk of Kai's siphoning ability giving him an edge in the merge, Joshua and Viviane continued having kids until she birthed another set of twins that would merge instead.

Kai's upbringing was lonely, spending most of his time locked in his bedroom up in the attic. Following his father's lead, most of his family excluded and demonized him. As he grew, Kai learned to internalize the cruel labels they gave him. If they wanted a monster, they would get a monster and on his 22nd birthday, May 9th, 1994, he would finally act on his boiling rage and resentment toward his family, unleashing the hatred he accumulated through a lifetime of torment onto his siblings when Jo refused the merge. To protect the twins, she would relent to merge with him but the coven was waiting and with the help of Sheila Bennett they banished him to a prison world of complete isolation.

Each year that passed only added to his hunger for revenge, left with nothing to do but plan his escape and seizer of coven leadership. He grew to take pride in what he had done to his siblings and his status as a sociopath capable of killing anyone who gets in his way without remorse.

AU-Specific Lore:

Prison world Lore:

The prison world resets with the eclipse every 3 months.

Time works differently, so no one ages throughout their time there.

The prison world cannot create life so the only living inhabitants are those sent there or arrive via ascendant.

Kai is linked to the prison world so he can’t die. If something kills him, he’ll be out for a while depending on the damage but the magic will heal him back to life. Without Kai, the prison world falls apart so while he’s there, it sustains his life to sustain itself. Once he leaves, it ceases to exist.

The Ascendant - an ancient device created by the Gemini coven and a Bennett ancestor that only responds to a living Bennett’s blood and magic. The ascendant is sensitive to magic in general, so even when the spell is done right, it will activate then fall apart. You only have one chance at the time of the eclipse to correctly do the spell, which Kai knows from experience because early on he tried collecting a vial of Bennett blood that he hunted down in a hospital and using Josette's magic he siphoned from a hidden dagger. Disappointment boiled over into rage when he did the spell beneath the eclipse, the ascendant disassembled, but he was not transported out.

The Gemini Coven Lair:

Exists as a non-physical location where the coven keeps ancient texts, grimoires, enchanted items (talismans, gems, ascendants, etc.), and materials for spells & potions

Infinite space that can be utilized by the coven leader: often includes a space for magic instruction, a library, spell casting, a gathering area for the coven, etc.

Accessed only by portal, which is summoned by a spell entrusted to high-ranking Gemini members

JaySteph Weekend

Official Prompts List!!

It’s no April Fool’s! Our official prompts list is here!

Friday, August 11 - Helping Bathe / Ride or Die / Book Club

Sunday, August 13 - Kissing for a Mission / Hair / PTSD

Please reblog to help spread the word !!

❤️💜Event Details💜❤️

❤️ You can use just one prompt per day or a combination.

💜 You can create for just one day, or two or three. (And of course, multiple works per day are allowed.) Late works are always welcome!

❤️ You may interpret the prompts as broadly or creatively as possible! Additionally, you may create for any AU, and any gender/race/orientation Jason and Steph. (We do encourage you to consider the why’s of switching a female character to male when there are so few fleshed-out canon females, but it’s not prohibited.)

💜 Almost all types of fanworks are allowed - fanfic, fanart, incorrect quotes, mood boards, play lists, edits, memes.

❤️ This is an event to create brand new fanworks that celebrate Jason Todd and Stephanie Brown as a couple - whether platonic, romantic, or NSFW. All works must be JaySteph-centric and related to one of the day’s prompts.

💜 This is a ship-friendly, censorship-free event open to all. We will have a very clear tagging system in place for all ships (including side ships) and dark content so that people can filter out what they don’t want to see from the main blog. We truly want the event to be accessible for everyone regardless of their personal tastes or triggers.

❤️ Due to JaySteph’s rarepair status, we don’t allow poly-JaySteph ships in order to keep the event’s focus exclusively on Jason and Steph’s relationship with each other. However, you are welcome to use poly relationships in side ships. DC Make It Poly Week is a great July event where you can feature all your JayStephPoly ships while spreading the JaySteph agenda love.

💜 Be sure to read the Event Rules and FAQs for all the nitty gritty details.

❤️ Work for JaySteph Weekend must be brand new, however you can combine it with any other fandom events if possible. For example, you can choose an August Year of the OTP prompt AND a JSW prompt to use in the same work, or combine a fandom Bingo fill with a JSW prompt. You can’t drop JSW work early, however, so hang onto it until our own event dates!

💜 Send us an Ask with any questions!

sansa stark

hello!! thank you for the ask !! i've only read the first book, so i'll mainly be using that. also because im a certified hater about sansa antis, who mostly dunk on baby sansa

favorite thing about them: she's so goddamn smart. like politically, socially, all over. she answers that question about identifying renly baratheon so smoothly, she entertains the audience with her comments, she realizes that littlefinger is not quite what he seems "his mouth smiled while his eyes did not". so so smart my darling.

least favourite thing about them: nothing. she's perfect. maybe lemon cakes? what's the fixation?? but that might be my problem because i've never had a good one.

favourite line:

book 1:

Yet she knew that beyond them was open country, farms and fields and forests, and beyond that, north and north and north again, stood Winterfell.

overall, i'm kind of predicatable. i just love how sansa realises there are no true knights and ladies, but she's still finding reasons to believe, and trying her best to be the ideal she's taught.

Be brave, she told herself. Be brave, like a lady in a song.

brOTP: so far, sansa & margarey, but i remember reading this one fic with beautiful sansa & satin flowers.

OTP: jon snow/sansa stark.

nOTP: i ... don't like Sandor/Sansa or Tyrion/Sansa... it's sort of like those christmas movies where the gorgeous girl settles for this plain looking man... i don't see it happening.

random headcannon: i really like the idea of cultural-renaissance court of winter under Queen Sansa. also that she gets a direwolf pups-- let me feast myself on those nothern magic, greenseer headcannons.

unpopular opinion: i liked the ending of GOT, atleast for Sansa and Arya. (proceeds to hide in an underground bunker)

songs i associate with them: there's this hindi song called Teri Dastan (your destiny) that is literally her song. also jenny of oldstones (karliene) for some reason even if its a targ song,

favourite picture of them: i'm assuming this means costume soo... the armour-ish costumes, dark tones that really wet of her hair. gif set here. and my favourite accessory (predictable) is the dragonfly necklace.
