#she has nobody except him

[inamindfarfaraway]

Stephanie Lauter is initially defined by her archetype as the popular girl in high school, but she must have been so lonely before Pete. Her mother is dead. Her father hates her and makes no attempt to hide it except to protect his reputation, constantly insulting, belittling and exerting authority over her when he isn’t busy with politics. She talks back to him, but doesn’t deny his descriptions of her. Miss Tessburger is the same. Her apparent friendships with the other cool kids, the kind of people who openly state the belief that looks are everything (not so different a paradigm to the one her father lives by), seem to be shallow and distant. Max rules the main popular clique with an iron fist to the point that they all stop bullying immediately and the school’s rigid social hierarchy crumbles once his influence is gone; and yet despite him having enough respect for her to try to protect her from what he believed were the undead during the prank, she was unaware of how big a problem his bullying was until she saw what he did to Pete, so she can’t have ever been that enmeshed in his circle. She dismisses her kindness to the losers as “the bare minimum” rather than lean into the potential for real friendships with them or leverage it to have power in this new group. It’s almost as if she doesn’t want to mislead them into thinking that she’s worth their time.

She’s cool because she acts like she doesn’t care about anything, and why would she? Life has never given her anything to care about. In fact, it’s punished her for caring. No matter what she does, her dad tells her that she’s worthless and stupid, so she stops trying to do well in school and starts sneaking out to parties full of alcohol and following through on flirting with the football players. She might as well make her body feel alive, as she can’t fix the fuck-up in her skull. Her phone is legitimately what she cherishes most in life. It can’t love her back or hug her or make the real world better, but at least it gives her an escape. It’s her space to control. Her pictures that she likes to look at, her music that drives her dad’s words out of her head. Her private conversations with people she chooses. At least it’s hers. (It isn’t. Her dad has been bugging it since she was twelve.)

Then Pete is nice to her, and in two weeks he becomes what she cherishes most.

Then she has to kill him. And shouldn’t she have seen this coming? Shouldn’t she have learned her lesson by now? Caring just means you have something to lose. That’s why she never wanted to love him like she does.

She pulls the trigger.

#and even though he’s okay with it and they both live she has to live with that forever #by the end he’s lost richie and ruth but still has his parents and ted #she has nobody except him #help i thought too hard about the fun cool girl and now i’m sad #she wanted #she NEEDED #the kind of love from someone else #stephanie lauter #steph lauter #solomon lauter #hatchetfield #nerdy prudes must die #npmd

Lady Gotham raises Danny as a single mother

Danny gets de-aged and Clockwork sends him to live with his Daughter, Lady Gotham.

You would expect Lady Gotham to look very Gothic. Like a noble lady from the 1600′s or a ghostly woman in a large veil. Maybe even just a mass of writhing shadows?

But no, Lady Gotham looks like your stereotypical Single Mother at all times, cause she always has to keep her Bat-Kids safe like the rambunctious children they are, and it’s a 24/7 job

She basically has the house-mom look, frizzy hair tied up in a ponytail, a stained apron from making dinner, always looks tired but always has time to indulge her kids games, all that

After she takes in Danny, she decides to create herself a Civilain Identity so she can raise him as both a Human and as a Ghost. And raising the future High King has it's side effects, for example he is constantly producing excess Ectoplasm which empowers her enough to maintain a Corporeal form for much longer than she could before.

Now she can just live in her City, and actually Interact with her citizens like she never could before!

She starts helping out more, dispelling some of the more Nasty curses placed on her City and making people feel more safe than before.

She gives packed lunches to homeless kids, every day without fail, and they are always filled with that kids favorite snacks alongskde some healthy foods. None of her children are going to go hungry on her watch!

She donates to the local homeless shelters, and gives them some Good Luck charms so they experience less problems. She needs to teach her kids good morals after all!

She starts a Rooftop Garden on her apartment Building, handing out the produce to anybody who asks to borrow some. Somehow she never runs out no matter how much they ask for. It's good manners to treat your neighbors with respect! A cup of sugar and all that!

She embodies the "Neighboorhood Mom" stereotype perfectly, just across the entire city instead.

And the Batfam don't even notice for a few months! She isn't doing anything big, just being a good Samaritan, and a good mom.

Then, one day, Red Hood shows up and tells everybody that he was kidnapped by a Lady who kept saying stuff like "We need to get that dirty ecto sorted out, we are long overdue for a check up!"

And now he feels perfectly fine. No more green vision, no more violent tendencies, he's just not as angry about that anymore.

Now the Batfam are trying to find thus lady, but it's kind of hard since all Jason could give for a description is "She looked like a Stereotypical Single Mom. That's all I can remember about her appearance."

#Dp x dc #Dpxdc #DC #Dcu #Danny phantom #Lady Gotham #Gotham Ghost #Lady Gotham is Clockworks daughter #Mom Look #Single Mom #Lady Gotham is a single mother of 1 millions kids #Except for the Joker #He's the neighbor's kid who everybody hates but nobody can get him to leave #Entitled little shit #Lady Gotham has a heavy Accent #Idk which one but she has one #Maybe New Yorker? Idk

important detail i havent drawn yet: Soundwave picks up her little guys and just. carries them around. like purse chihuahuas. tucks ravage under one arm and holds frenzy around the middle like a doll or like that one gif of the guy with the ferret. the cassettes are fine with this and it does nothing to perturb their attempts at aggravating and annoying each other

#a soundwave thing that i love is him just Not Caring about how much noise the cassettes make #not even in a turns his audio input down way he’s just completely fine with their noise. unbothered. peaceful. #so that carries over into this take on soundwave #she trusts nobody except her weirdo little dudes who blast the troll song and hit each other with cardboard tubes #starscream is about to throw up shes so tired of the troll song on loop meanwhile soundwave has barely noticed #rin.talks #working on the soundfam designs rn #getting there with soundwave so i gotta do the brats next

Me: I hate drawing Neil's hair bc I hc it as very chaotic and that is hard to paint

Also me: what if i made a portrait of based entirely off of something that I want to put in his hair

#i hc that neils hair is exactly like mine #except shorter and auburn #wherein his usual routine is to ruffle it with a towel and then let it air dry #and it is poofy and maybe a little wavy and definitely always looking messy and never pointing in the same direction twice #but if he skips the towel adds the tiniest bit of product and gives it a super quick squeeze with his hands #suddenly it dries in all these big curls #but hell if hes going to do that wvery time he showers he does that too often with so many day and night practices #nobody even knows his hair does that (least of all neil) until the first banquet of sophomore year #where allison is too insulted by him having that hair with the suit she picked out for him #and he wont let her at it right after his shower but he does accept the product and lets andrew run his fingers through his wet hair #and an hour later theyre all like ?????? #you dodnt want to style your hair who did you let curl it??? #neil: ive been sitting in the bean bag eating gold fish while andrew and kevin fought over the bathroom for the past 45 minutes? #anyway he has wild unpredictable ridiculous hair and im going to badly paint it bc i want to draw him in a crown

OK I'll admit, THIS ONE is very self-indulgent. There is a reason why Emerens is a poker player. I happen to find them really hot, or at the very least interesting to read about.

So yeah I sketched a lil something. And am trying to not let it go too far. Even though he's crazy good because of charisma and bluff abilities, he is far from being the Ultimate Poker Player lmao

Fun fact, he's playing a variant I read about a long time ago in a book, which is not classic Texas Hold'em, called Seven cards stud. I can't remember if this variant involves three or four cards hidden/shown on the table, and since I was drawing yesterday at 11pm, I did not have energy to push it too far.

But yeah, if you're not a seasoned player, don't let him play against you. He has absolutely no mercy and friendship makes it worse. Thibault can testify.

(My lil personal headcanon is that sometimes he goes in Masayuki's casino to just utterly wreck the shit out of unsuspecting people who want to take advantage of the rules or cheat without class, because then he can get his poker-sadistic tendencies out along with helping a classmate)

#hel art #hel ocs #la peste moderne #lpm #I want to write another poker gaaaaame #but atp nobody believes he's a beginner player anymore so none of his friends want to play with him lmao #except Sachiko bc she is the Ultimate Lucky Student #and he is not a fan of battles he has no chance to win

I still very loathe the Media Trope of ‘’cold genius man doesn’t feel emotions and never has relationships... UNTIL.. one random relatively bland Preddy Woman comes along and warps his entire personality and ability to think, his heart has grown and his seeming asexuality has evaporated, he is now Normal :)” or whatever like... AS a walking generic hermit archetype myself.. we would NOT act like that .... just let people be detached weirdos in peace, you cowards .. OR, don’t bother to write one in the first place if you find us too boring to exist realistically in our natural state lol.. pathetic 

#the only exception to this is its okay if he develops some pesudo-romantic psychologial fixation on one of his long suffering male sidekicks #or assistants or whatever (since this character acrhetype ALWAYS has some sort of like Straight Man Every Man helper to follow #him around and be an audience stand in. sometimes multiple like a whole team of assistants. sometimes just one etc.) #like a strange not-entirely-romance-but-mutualy-unhealthy-comedic-codependence w someone you worked w 25+ yrs COULD be in character. sure. #ASIDE from that one exception though..... just keep them aromantic and asexual.. why would someone who has been that way for their #entire fucking life suddenly be like ''well I've known this woman three weeks but she's really hot! whoops!'' #''guess I'm going to act completely out of character! sometimes booba so booby it fundametally alters the dna of me personality. you know ho #w it is'' .. like shut up.. explode #It's not that I project personally onto these characters (writers are bad at writing them and they're generally annoying as shit) BUT just #like... coming FROM the perspective OF a cold detached ''robot'' seeming hermit freak.. like textbook scholar wizard man locked #away in a tower somewhere type personality... You just watch shows sometimes and you can SEE that the writers are trying to write #the Character Archetype that is your actual realworld personality and you're just like 'we do NOT fucking act like that!!!' lol #you know ? like .. i don't actually care about the characters themselves but more just.. the principle of the thing. staying true to what #has been set up. You can't be like ''oh yeah this is your typical cold detached hermit weirdo with zero interest in human relationships for #the most part blah blah blah'' and then 5 minutes later be like ''WAIT GUYS!! LOOK! they're still NORMAL! look they love booba #too!!! haha hashtag Relatable!!'' .. what have you done to him.. you've massacred the archtype.. cowardly fool #Also I'm referencing them as male because this character archtetype is usually male but the same thing can apply for other gendered versions #of the archetype. it's ALWAYS annoying. no matter what it is lol. GOD AND IT'S even worse when they're supposed to be like hundreds or thous #ands of years old like.. some sort of supernatural being who's ''above it all'' because they've seen the world's cycles for so long #and blah blah and then it's like ''omg.. suddenly into romance.. for some reason all 900 years of my life nobody has ever been good #enough but YOU.. random ass person who I met 30 minutes ago and are completely average in every way or maybe you have like one #special power or are smart or something but apparently somehow I've lived 900 years without ever meeting a single other smart person #or whatever but WOW.. you... instant soulamtes.. I am no longer aromantic and asexual. I am also no longer smart.'' #at least if it's a human with a normal lifespan you can be like 'well they were only 30. maybe they genuinely did just have their first #sexul awakening' or something but.. you're telling me like.. 900 years??? 1000 years?? and NOW they're like 'whooa!!' lol #Which obviously all aroace people are different.. all people with autism or schizoid pd or any other mental illnesses that can sometimes #lend people towards that type of 'weird hermit' archetype are all different. plenty of these people WILL have relationships and sex and desi #re those things. but it's like.. if you are OBVIOUSLY setting out to write that one VERY specific archetype within the broader archetype #then GO ALL THE WAY!! you cant have someone be like HALF-detached partial-hemrit sometimes-maybe-genuis or whatever #or I guess you can but like. it should be that way from the beginning. it's the random sudden shift in personality thats jarring

[termagax]

i dont knowwwwwwwwwww i just. my thing is that i think the changelings could have an interesting place in the narrative given jims whole conflict is about trying to navigate his place in two worlds neither of which he completely fits in but both of which he needs to be his complete and authentic self. but they shoot themselves in the foot by making strickler the main one and they get sooooo close to doing this with nomura before getting bored and doing it again but worse with strickler. so in my mind i think this is why i was so set on addy being a changeling because i want her to fill that narrative role of someone who's ACTUALLY chill about this dichotomy and who really loves this part of herself without the baggage inherent to nomnoms situation (not acknowledging strickler he did most of that to himself). i just think he needs someone who can show him that its actually genuinely very possible to have both halves of his heart especially post-potion. but man. you cant really get there without dancing around the janus order stuff. and i know if she was real it would just be a cheap lampshade like "welllll shes a polymorph so. no familiar no problem" but that opens up a can of worms that i feel responsible for. and just in general the entire thing has so much baggage. i wish this show was GOOD.

#like i like the concept that the changelings were troll babies tortured with dark magic i think for me it justifies arrghs fondness for her #because hes in an extremely similar situation and i think him watching it happen under his command would be enough for him to say hm. i can #do this anymore goodbye. and i like those kinds of dynamics a lot #so i feel like you can just take that aspect and run with it #instead of the familiars give them some sort or mild innate mental magic? so they can write their identities into peoples lives #so you can still get that sense of like. an invader where its not supposed to be #without having to touch goblin baby kidnapping #'but that ruins the whole plot with claire' idgaf figure it out. i would do somwthing wlse with that anyways #they retroactively imply claires magic is innate later on in wizards anyways #so if youre gonna do that just make her brother also have it in some way which would make him a valuable asset if noticed by someone like #strickler. make it smt with the bridge or some other thing where they neeeeeeeed a magic user and itd be too risky to like. kidnap a studen #so they cant take claire. or nobodys noticed she has powers yet #make it so the baby goes missing and nobody seems to remember him at all EXCEPT claire #bcz strickler mind powers. which tangent but u can also use later for his thing w jims mom #and makes the whole 'we have to erase her memories of him' less convoluted bullshit #anyways back on track. just have the baby at the bridge ceremony for magic power reasons and in the conflict smth grabs him and takes him #thru the portal in the hopes of opening the bridge frm the other side #anyways.tthey had options is all im saying and they chose to do it in the worst way possible #just scrap the janus order im not touching that #it was so fucking pointless anyways. they didnt DO anything not one single thing

why is ur tav in mintharas clothes

Because she knocked Minthara out and stole all her stuff, of course.

Hel [my gal in the sidebar] very much does not like Minthara for lore reasons <3333

#She also didn't *kill* Minthara for Character Lore Reasons #also she needed cuter camp clothes tho so I stole Minthara's lmfao #only complaint with game.... more cute clothes #I feel bad stealing from my companions lol #except Astarion. He's off limits for cute clothes theft #everyone else is fair game though #my dad and I have a save file together actually. I stole Lae'zel's clothes and he stole Shadowheart's XD and I dyed mine #that file is extra funny tho because we're ''the party nobody will speak to'' #it has my girl- Wisteria; a seldarine drow cleric- his gal; a draconic ancestry githyanki sorcerer #then Karlach and Astarion. so a tiefling and a vampire spawn #it's deeply hilarious we have a great time #we have another file where he hosts [I host the other one] and he's a half wood elf barbarian iirc. I'm a tiefling cleric #you may notice I very much enjoy clerics. because I do. Sorcerer and cleric are my favourite classes #dad prefers non-casters. rogue tends to be his fav but BG3 is actually interesting him in experimenting!!! #it's so fun :D I hope we get cross platform play soon #then I can play with my brother too and the three of us can groove

[inamindfarfaraway]

Perhaps the funniest League of Legends character interaction that's also highly plausible in-universe, thematically appropriate and emotionally charged is Rell and Veigar teaming up.

They’re both extremely magically strong and skilled. Rell controls metal, a product of the earth from which she can directly rip ore. Veigar draws his celestial magic from the stars.

They both have dark, tragic backstories: because of their magical talent, they were taken into custody by powerful, corrupt Noxian authorities, isolated, abused and forced to use their magic harmfully for a long time, at least relative to their respective lives. This traumatized and broke them so much that they now see inflicting pain as the only thing they’re good at, even capable of. They have no friends. They've never known or have forgotten what it feels like to be loved, joyful or carefree. All they were left with once free was so much guilt and grief and so much power. From that, they have forged new identities - roles to play - built around singular, combative ambitions that they cannot imagine lives or futures beyond. Rell identifies as a gritty, edgy antihero, having noble intentions but using brutal, destructive and downright gruesome methods. Veigar identifies as a villain, but is good at heart despite not comprehending this himself.

They’re both currently roaming around the Noxian countryside in order to find and defeat as many powerful, corrupt Noxian authorities who mistreat people as they can. Rell does this to make the guilty pay for their crimes and liberate and protect the oppressed. Veigar does it to replace the authority and prove that his evil is greater and cooler than theirs, but in practice doesn’t really bother hurting anyone innocent and just ends up making the guilty pay for their crimes and liberating and protecting the oppressed.

They’re both connected to Mordekaiser, and would be primary enemies of him holding personal grudges if his plot about trying to dominate Runeterra is ever developed. Rell was such an important project for the Black Rose because they hoped that she would be able to defeat Mordekaiser. He embodies everything she stands against. Mordekaiser was Veigar’s captor and abuser, responsible for who he is today. Rell can manipulate metal; Veigar wields incredible cosmic magic; and Mordekaiser is a magical suit of armour, so if anyone can finish him off, it’s these two working together.

Rell is practical, pragmatic, cynical and consumed by bloodthirsty, vengeful rage. Veigar clings to and imitates an immature ideal of Villainy, fashioning his outfit after Mordekaiser’s stereotypical fantasy evil overlord aesthetic, his behaviour after all the most theatrical tropes that archetype can be associated with and having very dramatic and flashy magic, but inwardly lacks the cruelty (not to mention dignity) to back that presentation up.

They both want the Noxian people to respect them as a threat. Rell has wanted posters and become widely feared by the elite army less than a year since her escape. Veigar has been ‘conquering’ for centuries and is still not taken seriously.

Their respective magic colours are yellow and purple, and the rest of both of their colour palettes is grey, silver and black.

Everything about Rell is played completely straight. Almost everything about Veigar is played for comedy.

Rell could come across a village that Veigar has seized and accidentally benefitted, like Boleham in his story on the website, and try to challenge him. Or they could both arrive to kill the same tyrannical warlord at the same time. She realizes that he is a) really bad at being bad, b) just a silly little guy and c) an extremely useful asset to her quest.

So she directs him at the Black Rose and they go and utterly fuck Noxis up while helping the downtrodden. There's so much comedy to get out of their contrasting personalities and perspectives. Rell always acts like the protagonist of a grim, action-packed young adult dystopian series and Veigar is standing right next to her emanating campy children's cartoon villain energy; they both think the story is a different genre and the acting and tone should reflect that. This premise is hysterical with the proper execution.

But it isn't just funny! They can genuinely bond and learn, or in Veigar's case remember, what loving and being loved is, and begin to process their trauma and help each other cope with their C-PTSD and be kinder to themselves and have fun and become fulfilled. And then kill Mordekaiser, whose return is one of the subplots. And then live happy, safe, peaceful lives together, because they were never meant for all this violence.

Other subplots besides Mordekaiser include LeBlanc, Rell's mother and the Black Rose's operations; the wider Noxian politics they tie into; Samirah hunting Rell; Annie also wandering around Noxis causing trouble and eventually getting adopted by Rell as a little sister (they deserve it); maybe the story of a Yordle who knew Veigar before and thus can supply some of his backstory that he's forgotten, a 'normal Yordle' foil to him; and generally lots of Noxian and Yordle worldbuilding and lore.

While I'm talking about Veigar, here are my ideas for a redesign of him, because his design is... not that great:

As yordles are generally animalistic or at least furry, he strongly resembles a black cat, with gold eyes with slit pupils and a dark purple nose. Black cats are associated with the supernatural, magical arts and misfortune, they're bad omens to some, but they're also fluffy little babies. He is covered in fur. You want to scratch his checks. You want to kiss his little forehead. He's so adorable and he hates it. His large pointy ears, visible under the brim of his hat, move to signal his emotions for more expressive animation. They both have notches, which help him look pitiable and allude to his past as a prisoner and victim of abuse. He has big 'weathered street cat hissing and growling at you when you try to pet it because it's reflexively afraid of people and shows that through aggression' energy.

@ohnoitstbskyen's idea in his "What's the deal with Veigar?" video that Veigar's face (his cute kitty face!) is never fully in the shadow of his hat despite him trying to look mysterious and ominous is brilliant. He’s very lively, since he acts like a classic cartoon villain who’s so excited and gleeful about being evil, so he has a habit of jostling his hat or lifting his head to reveal his whole face and then hastily pulling the hat back down.

His robe no longer has the spiked metal hem and is of a soft, loose, flowing fabric. It’s dark indigo with silver sparkles all over it like he’s wearing the night sky, in homage to the stars he draws his power from. Except the beautiful pattern is interrupted and partly obscured by a leather belt - not spiked and black, a bolder and more ‘evil’ colour than brown and a Noxian colour - with a tasteless spiky silver buckle that clashes with the stars. I love what TB Skyen said about the armour and spikes working best as a parody of Mordekaiser’s aesthetic, so I want those aspects to look tacked on and out of place. To feel wrong. Inadvertently on Veigar’s part, but deliberately in a meta sense. Between the robe, his big purple wizard hat matching his nose that also makes his body look smaller and cuter and the black cat associations, you’ve got a perfectly good yordle celestial mage design; but the influence of Mordekaiser is intruding on it, corrupting it, even. That is the clear conflict of this design. While the robe is comfortable, the armour doesn’t appear to be. This impression is helped by it all being at least a little oversized, because Noxian armour doesn’t come in yordle size and therefore Veigar has cobbled his together out of scraps he scavenged (I mean, he STOLE, how wicked) and he isn’t really a great blacksmith. His boots aren’t clown shoes or anything, but they’re big enough that his attempt at an imposing villainous stride is awkwardly clunky. They could have black leather straps on them to hold them tighter than their metal fasteners will allow. His spiked pauldrons were cut out of human ones and still jut out too much, one of them having an irregular shape that gives him a dash of Noxian asymmetry and marks him further as a flawed imitation of a fantasy supervillain. The message that he’s incompetent at something and did it anyway out of passion, perhaps not even realizing his mistakes or at least too proud to acknowledge them, makes him come across as comedic and yet an endearingly earnest, hardworking underdog, and adds to the surprise of his genuine incredible cosmic power - he couldn’t learn to smith properly before forging his own armour, but he can command the energy of the stars to smite you? Yeah. That’s Veigar. There’s one silver ring around the base of his hat that has five spikes on it, thick, long and evenly positioned so that from above, they form a star shape. Specifically, an inverted star with one spike pointing directly forward. Symbolism! His belt buckle could also be an inverted star to establish that as a motif of his; it’s spiky, but more personal and iconic than just spikes themselves.

Moving onto Rell... she has her sigils. I don't know why she doesn't in her model or artwork, they're such a crucial part of her character design! Her biography and short story both bring them up. There are even bare sections of her arms, which would only make sense if her sigils were visible in them because it's impractical and she's so averse to vulnerability, but the sigils are missing? What? Why, Riot? So yeah, in my redesign she has sigils right down both her arms. A few more recent ones are on her back (symbolic of her betrayal by her family, the Black Rose and the government). They're always hidden, even in her lighter armour on horseback, as she's deeply uncomfortable around the concept of being exposed and seeing them herself. We and Veigar only see them in dramatic character exploration scenes when a) she feels safe enough to take her armour off, b) she needs to due to injury or to hide her identity or c) someone else damages or removes her armour. Taking TB Skyen's advice again, her outer armour and therefore horse are spikier and less polished and regular, products of her undiluted heartbroken rage in the moment she destroyed the academy. They're highly distinctive, almost organic-feeling and definitely don't look like the work of a smith.

my queerplatonic "reverse harem" gang oc

Ok so lore:

Him Emery is the protagonist who suffered from a generational "curse" in the family. Every female offspring will get infinite charm that will attract a harem everytime they interact with the opposite sex. Him has ZERO interest in romantic love and she longs for a mutual friendship, due to always being marked as enemy by her girls peer and boys always try to date her.

She met 5 popular guys in her school which share the same feeling as her. Being friend with them, created rumor about Him dating all 5 at once, hence the reverse harem.

#ive always want write this lore down outside my own notes ha #my doodles #oc #created this solely bcs i was fed up with the unecessary love triangles and harem romance manga #i want to make dynamic kinda like akayona group except that nobody think Him as the leader of the pack #and she was often used by the guys to reject people off #she gets along with every one of them bcs their interest match with her #him started off as lowkey misandrist and that 'pissed' the boys at first lol

Now I'm stuck on how unhinged and depraved and AWFUL Tuon/Gawyn could be.

#wheel of time #wheel of time book spoilers #Fortuona Athaem Devi Paendrag #gawyn trakand #listen Hannibal the show ruined me as a person #but you can't tell me tuon/gawyn doesn't have that same fucked up sort of energy #oh god I cannot be bitten by the writing urge right now #I have two RPG campaigns and a cruise in like... five days #I do not have the time #BUT TUON LEASHING GAWYN LIKE A DOG #sending him out to fight!! #and when he comes back being disappointed he didn't do more damage #and him spiraling because he hates her and it's wrong but also #he wants to impress her too #she could have captured him when they attacked the tower #or better yet captured him much earlier with egwene #except nobody knows she has him but egwene #by the time they do it's too late and they have to leave him #'oh he's not a channeler it won't be so bad for him' #WRONG #finally he comes back after brutally killing a lot of people and she lifts his chin up and doesn't quite smile #but she tells him 'good boy' and it's game over

royalty au wherein one of the palace maids comes to the bedroom door to ask you/levi a question, yet they gasp at the sight of you (knight/queen) kissing levi (prince/knight). then one of you guys just tries to calm the maid and assure them what they saw is okay lol (yet you still ask them to keep it a secret).

PLEASE. I offer you this—the maid is Sasha, who despite some of her quirks, is beloved by you, the staff, and most other people she meets (even the other royalty, whom she accidentally spills red wine on, but with a bubbly personality like hers, she’s easily forgiven). She can be a bit hasty and is known to be very protective over you, even though she knows you have plenty of knights and guards to take care of you—you’re still her princess and she loves you.  

So, when you don’t answer her calls for you from your bedroom door, she’s quick to assume the worst, and enters anyway. She creeps in slowly, picking up the nearest object she sees, a book that’s quite thick and heavy, for defense. When she peeks around into your boudoir and sees Levi’s backside near a wall, and one of your dresses on the ground, she doesn’t wait a moment more—she runs right in there, charging at Levi with the book above her head, “I’ll kill you Sir Levi—you get off of her this instant!” 

Your shouts to stop fall on deaf ears, and it’s not until Levi catches Sasha’s wrists above her head that she freezes. Blinks. Then with newfound vigor kicks him, and if Levi had been any slower in moving, it would have been devastating to his groin LMFAOO. It’s only when she’s calmed down from her murderous streak that you’re able to explain that Levi was not trying to take advantage of you, that... what you were about to do was very consensual even though he’s your knight. That doesn’t stop her from giving him the shovel talk, through which Levi crosses his arms and huffs, but the second Sasha leaves you two alone, you see him smile.  

#anonymous #sasha absolute best girl in the entire world LMFAOO #nah bc she would have bit him if it came to it LMFAOOOOOO #sasha threatening probably the best knight ur kingdom has seen in 100 years w/o fear >>>> #also nobody asked but ive thought of a similar situation w gojo except ur trying #to get him to hide before the maid or whoever finds u and hes like 'i mean theyd probably think im pretty lucky no?' #or consider he's also royalty but nobody knows ur together bc ur families hate eachother romeo and juliet style #and the person calling for u is like... nanami who eventually gets u to crack and just sighs #'ive been working double time to convince every member of ur family that the gojos are decent and that u wouldnt hate them... #and ur telling me youve been running around w the crown prince this whole time.'
