Ladybug Week Day 3: First Kiss
Blake winced as she felt the cool morning air against her skin and the gentleness of Ruby’s fingers against her back. Her body ached from shifting after the full moon had finally set, her head pounding as she continued to feel a rush from the adrenaline that still coursed through her body. She slowly opened her eyes and pulled Ruby’s cloak over herself to keep warm. 
“Finally awake?” Ruby asked. 
“Y-yeah, I’m awake,” Blake said groggily as she slowly got up, her arms shaking as they supported her. “You… you stayed with me. Why?” 
“You’re supposed to be my girlfriend, so of course I stayed with you. Though, you could’ve told me about this.” 
“About me being a monster?” Blake pulled the cloak around herself and looked around the small camp that Ruby had made. They were still in the darkest parts of the forest, light shining around the edges of the camp from the leaves above. Her stomach growled, and then she doubled over and heaved for a moment as her body started to realize it had eaten raw meat the night before. “Why… why didnt you run?” 
Ruby started to dig through her pack and pulled out some fresh clothes for Blake, along with some eggs, pancake mix, and a little milk. “You didnt try to hurt me and seemed more scared of me than I was of you. I hope pancakes will be okay with you for breakfast, I wasnt able to grab much before getting you out of Vale.” 
Blake nodded and grabbed the clothes, getting herself dressed as she tried to piece together the memories from her shift. She remembered shifting in Vale, being brought out with Ruby, a strange smell that seemed to linger around her partner, racing through the forest to hunt… but she couldnt remember if anyone had come to hunt her like they had before. “Yeah, pancakes will be fine.” She finished getting dressed and sat Ruby’s cloak next to her as she watched her partner start a fire and start to mix the pancake batter. “What happened to the people who came out to hunt me?” 
“No one did. I made sure no one saw you.” 
Blake quietly watched Ruby as she placed a pan over the fire and slid a small bit of butter into it to grease it up. It didnt make any sense that someone didnt come to hunt her down, especially after shifting in the middle of the city. People were terrified of wolves, let alone a werewolf that was twice the size of a regular wolf. “What do you mean no one came to find me?” 
“I mean exactly that, no one came to find you.” 
“But someone always does!” Blake yelled, pausing when she caught her reflection on the metal pan catching her canines were still enlarged from her transformation. She took a deep breath to relax, trying to keep her own anger from taking over. “Over the last eight months, someone has always come after me. Farmers, villagers, huntsmen… I’ve only killed when I had to in order to keep myself safe, but someone always comes. As far as anyone is concerned, I’m just a beast to be killed.” 
“And this time, no one came for you.” Ruby poured a little batter into the pan to start a pancake, smiling a bit as she watched it start to bubble. “I used my semblance to get us out of Vale and then I took you deep into the forest. No one saw you and you only went after deer and rabbits this time instead of anything the farmers were herding.” 
“That hasnt stopped anyone-” Blake froze when she felt Ruby kiss her, her thoughts trailing away for a brief moment as her hand went to Ruby’s back. She finally relaxed as Ruby broke the kiss, a blush crossing her cheeks as they seemed to heat up. “You… you kissed me.” 
“I needed you to calm down and try to relax for a moment,” Ruby said, hiding her own small blush as she focused on the pancakes. “Though, I guess that would be our first kiss, wouldn’t it? We’ve been dating since we’ve graduated and we havent kissed once, have we?” 
“Its not like we’ve had a lot of time.” Blake relaxed as she watched Ruby flip the pancake, her stomach growling from the smell. “Ozpin has been keeping you busy, I’ve had to spend some time in Menagerie, and even when we are together, we rarely have time to ourselves without being called on another mission. And then I…” she paused for a moment and put a hand to the scarred bite mark on her shoulder. “I became… this. Ironic though, a cat faunus becoming a wolf once a month.” 
Ruby chuckled a bit. “It is, but please dont hide anything like this anymore.” 
“I wont.” 
“Now eat. I’m sure you’ll feel better on a full stomach.” 
Blake nodded and took the first pancake, biting savagely into it. She savored the taste, already enjoying it more than the thought of eating raw meat. “And then… maybe we can have a bit of time to ourselves, right? Just you and me?” 
Ruby nodded and took another pancake out of the pan. “Of course.” 
Blake blushed at the thought of being alone with Ruby again, cuddling with her and holding her close. Just like she used to at Beacon. She slowly tore a piece of pancake and popped it into her mouth. “That would be nice.”

HIIII :) here to ask about the abyss tell me about it please please please love this sort of thing :3
Tumblr media
HAIIII welcome :) to preface this im normal i swear. anyway The Abyss is what i like ta call my Horrible Horrible Maze, i made it w/ the goal of making the worst possible experience in minecraft to torment my friends ^_^
Tumblr media
I enjoy putting people in situations and studying them :D 
On that note! everyone who runs the abyss (24 people at current count) I time and write a couple notes on them! the abyss is honestly half maze half personality test LMAO. at current moment the quickest time goes to @ghostpajamas with a baffling 03:24 (wild that he got out so quick, i win tho cause i haunt his dreams), and longest goes to the beloved @rendogdomesticated with 1:35:54 <3 special shout out ta my dearest @theoctagon tho wolff ur insane i love u. guy goes inta the abyss for fun and has like 10 pages and counting of insane person phsyical notes tryna map it out (hes reported that hes gone through the first one 60 times and the 2nd one 5 jesus chriiiistttt). the abyss is fond of Pilot :) also if wolff is the favourite than @potionofinstantdamage is the Least favourite, rude ass set the place on fire when he got stuck in there :( oof ouchie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Highlights from my notes include @quack-city running backwards and upon me asking Why, simply replied “what if there’s slenderman :(‘ ... cant argue w/ that! he also hadda stop mid run so we decided its funnier if he’s just stuck in there forever. @newtbeetle was in there for like an hour and would NOT shut up about Paul Dano the whole time which was a time (love u beebs. ur isnane). my two test runners are @kishdoodles and @officialgleamstar and they had about the same time but like Opposite reactions it was very funny, kish treated it like they were a streamer n kept a like constant chatter, and travvy was like DEAD silent the whole time n Intensely focused akjewkjr tbh outta all 24 runners trav’s been prob the most like, methotical bout it? LIKE I SAID personality test. i Love studying people. 
In regards to its origins I came up w/ the idea back in like feb/march ish of this year and from start to finish it took me like 2 weeks ish i was on the Grind. u dont understnad how much black concrete this thing took. hell on earth,,, darkwoods has an economy/shopping district and i bought out like All the sand/gravel available akjwekjr the rest i hadda gather myself n God gravel sucks. also ive killed So Many Squids. the 2nd abyss was much easier ta gather supplies for cause i could ask for help w/ supplies n i kept the first one a Complete secret minus my test runners (i hadda bitch at SOMEONE while makin it or i wouldve died i think. speakin of the first abyss has a death count of 13 and the 2nd one has like, 5 or somefin? rlly shouldve writen that down akjwerjk those are Entirely me dying in the process of buildin them btw. its not a true Spain Build unless its mildly dangerous <3) The 2nd one also made me learn redstone, notably i specifically studied Tango’s decked out process vids from s7, tho i really only stole like two aspects of it n i couldnt even get one ta work properly LMAO
The second abyss took me like, wayy longer ta make, bout two months ish (i finished it like mid july). not necessarily in actual like, time spent building but cause in the process of makin it i had Two month long events i was in (Voiceteam in may and Art fight in july) so that distracted me a bit wkwnekeneie Im a bit more secretive bout the second abyss in general since not That many people have actually ran it compared ta the first n theres actually like, Things that can be spoiled in there <3 i like seein peep’s initial reactions its much more satisfying.
This didnt happen w/ everyone but i think a like, Core part of running the abyss is getting emotionally attached ta weird things. i wouldve said just torches until a few days ago when Tac (onea the rat server mods) ran it and claimed the stack of pumpkin pies i gave her as family. But Prior Ta That several people have had very intense emotions bout the redstone torches, whether love or hate or both, key example ft dog: 
Tumblr media
Also not everyone ive mentioned on this post is in darkwoods! ive got a server i world editted the abyss inta so non-server members can run it for fun and profit (more data for me) :) on that note ive been slowly infecting the rat gang server cause my friend’s in there alot n another friend of mine’s a mod so peeps in there’ve been runnin it lately :) shout out ta TalonMC for lettin me subject him ta the Horrors literally our first conversation, onea my more fun first impressions i’d say
In regards to lore the abyss is a parasitic entity that infects anyone who gets stuck in there n slowly compells them ta go build their own lmao. note that ive only called the second abyss the Second one and not Abyss 2, because its technically just The Abyss as well cause theres many of them i just made it second wowjdkenejd (a real example of this is Wolff gettin obsessed w/ the abyss n then goin n buildin his own build called the Tower :) very excited bout that) The Abyss has a weird like fucked up warlock bond w/ my goddess oc The Overseer :D Her design’s vaugely based off my irl friend @hotcollectionoftubs cause her creation The Hole on a creative world her n some other friends of mine are on was onea the main insperations for certain aspects of the abyss’ lore :D mainly the teal in the colour palette and the whole ‘the [hole/abyss] provides’ thing. 
(my reference images for her and 3rd pic's art i commissioned from the Lovely @opuntie):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
my darkwoods chara, Snake, is a whole nother bag entirely (basic gist is they’re a dimension traveler not by choice and darkwoods is the 3rd world theyve been in, their deal’s worth a whole post of its own lmao) i built the first abyss entirely unrelated ta my chara just as like, fun weird build ta torment my friends w/o yaknow? but then as i was buildin the 2nd one i was like hmmmmmm. alotta things could make sense if i made this one built by Snake. so their retirement arc on darkwoods turned inta even MORE trauma! wahoo! poor guy deserves a break,,, (he will not be getting one). 
(pre abyss + post abyss. i gotta properly draw pre-darkwoods Snake at some point but this dudes changed Alot ill say that lmao. both crops from bigger pieces on my art blog @fluxydrawings)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway thats basically it! ive got more details and things locked in my brain ill probably remember in like 2 days after postin this so theres a chance ill reblog this w/ extra shit later lmao, sides that tho the abyss is my babygirl n thank yall for showin interest ^_^
Memes n shit to end us off:

>🎶✨ when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to. then whatever
my city now. Thanks @deneviere.
I. Cat - Milgram
People in a specific discord server got me into this song, and it’s a good one. Real jazzy, love the middle call and response bit, plus the mv and attached lore is real fun. You can make a compelling argument that the singer’s “I can’t stop, I can’t be normal” and other lyrics are him hiding his homosexuality and I agree! That’s a gay old man right there and i refuse to believe otherwise. The mv is just really good, there’s a lot to dissect and the art styles pretty fire. When Deco27 hits, Deco27 hits.
II. Arm Candy - Record Heat
On the list of songs on my huge liked playlist that I call “Manwhore Monday songs”. Got a push and pull feel to it that’s fun to jam to while doing tasks around the place. Makes me envision a little guy doing a stupid little dance, and if I could dance this would be a fun one to dance to, I’d bet. But the dance has to specifically be in a weird little gay way that makes you want to shout go white boy go at the dancer, grooving in place.
III. Flower Power Madness - Royal Republic
Another manwhore monday song to me, got that groove to it. Disco rock is a really good music style. If I could sing, this would be a fun one to sing.
IV. Hot Mess - Friday Pilots Club
“SHES A HOT MESS - 150 DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN A SUNDRESS / WATCH HER BURN IT UP, IM BEARING WITNESS / CAUSE IF SHE SAID I LOOK BETTER, DOWN THE BARREL OF A BERETTA - OH, I COULDNT PROTEST”
A fun song! Super high energy, makes the brain envision a lot of scenes. The rhythm goes hard.
V. Ejanaika - Dannie May
Do y’ever have songs that you listen to and the mental amv goes so hard it ends up being a song you listen to while working on a world, because for me, this is one of those songs. I always set it on when I’m trying to draw anything related to Mao the apprentice exorcist pheasant or anything in her world, because I have a whole amv in my mind centered around this song and her. Again, rhythm goes hard, and if the translated lyrics are anything to go by, whole songs fire.
Honorable Mentions:
- Hectopascal, because Bloom into You was good
-Supermassive Automatic by Kick the Robot, because high energy songs are fun to try and sing
-Anything by Mili. Self explanatory.
ain’t tagging anyone but if you wanna do one go ahead lol

it's thursday, lets round up law and order night
Just discovered I can select citytv toronto so I can watch this shit at 5pm. Fucking win. 
Okay, the way these eps are airing doesn’t make our hypothesis about the maddie case coming to canada to launch CO:TO make sense, we’ll see… 
Not shaw instantly knowing it’s a dating app 👀👀 
Jfc...word on my laptop doesnt want to open, im stuck doing this through safari, fuck i hate the way technology is changing... hoping it works later, i was planning on writing tonight. Ugh. 
Man, the way that receptionists/door staff is always all “hey! Excuse me! You can’t go back there” always makes me laugh, like, first off, how do the cops know where they’re going/that the person theyre looking for is actually back there?  
Why are there no lights on in this courtroom? Wtf? 
Nolan just tells sam to do all the work and then takes lead on all the cases, huh? 
The way this ep is going its lowkey looking like mccoy is getting fired/forced to retire, not doing it voluntarily lol. 
Lol, i give no shits if they fire nolan, just don’t touch my samantha bebe pls. 
Okay so they really are setting mccoy up to being fired, hey? 
All of these shows would be SO much better if they actually just acknowledged that they all exist in the same universe/city. Like... i’d love to see the same recurring cast members as the defence attorneys/judges/etc as the same characters in all three shows. Or like, have them mention each other, like in this ep they easily could have at least been like “hold on, I'll call benson, maybe she caught the case” no need to guest star, just mention it. Though they could guest star the other characters considering svu is only giving screen time to M and Ice... 
I am SO bored watching jack in court... where’s the spunk? 
There is way too much political shit that goes into this. Ugh.  
Also this send off is lame. They really couldnt have done it any better? The promos made me think it was some big celebratory thing... 
Yeah that was lame as shit. 
Alright... moment of truth.... is CI Toronto going to be good or absolute crap? 
Why is it tinted blue? This is like when shows “go to mexico” and they just tint the screen yellow. Do they think canada is blue tinted because of the snow/cold? 
Theme song does not slap. 
Where did my subtitles go?? 
Okay the liutenant is my faourite part so far. I like her. Female detective is on the fence for me right now, i don’t like the dude. 
Are they not carrying guns?? Does dick wolf think canadian cops don’t carry guns? Cause i assure you they do... 
LOL at the casual dropping of facts about characters we know nothing about. She has a kid, noted. 
... i stopped paying attention, i can’t lie. This isn’t terrible, but it isn’t great. We coulda had For the Defence... 
Okay, so like i said, not terrible, but i found it pretty boring.  
Moving on to SVU 
Okay this is clearly some kind of abduction situation going on. 
Velasco got a line! Yay! 
Wanna steal that plaid...ngl. 
“aren’t you a captain” THAT IS EXACTLY MY QUESTION, HOW DOES THIS SQUAD NOW HAVE TWO CAPTAINS??!! Make it make sense!! 
“and you needed a rollins” thank you fin for telling it like it is. 
Liv is off her fucking rocker man, like yeah, the kid on the train obvi needs help, and they should intervene and there is a slight chance that it is related to the maddie situation, but that’s the only thing she can see righ tnow and it’s not making for a good show. 
Say pittsburg one more time. I dare you. 
“it’s captain benson” uh... eileen called *her* why did that phone convo go like that? 
The delulu in this episode is stronger than my delulu imagining being married to fictional charaters jfc.. 
“happi burger” ?!?!? I'm having s9 flashbacks 
Aaaand a guest star that was on the show in the last year and a half is guest starring again... as a different character... not surprised. *sigh* (at the v least she’s acting her ass off and is good at what she does so...) 
Liv you have as many issues as this agent, don’t try and make her seem like she should open up to you lololol. 
“you sure youre not just projecting?” THANK YOU 
Thank fuck this gd maddie shit is finally done with. I am over it lol. 
Liv's out here just adopting rescues from all sorts of different departments temporarily, this doesn’t make any sense. 
Omg this OC flashback just made me so excited, all the amazing shit that happened last week LOL. 
Literally thought that old man was mcgrath.. 
I'm sorry... if i find something in a *bathroom* garbage can, the last thing I'm doing is putting it in my *mouth* 
Ayanna being all “gimmie!” about the stuffie is adorable. I may have to write some kind of fix it fic for her/this situation.... 
Okay that was lazy writing, Rita’s friend literally just basically repeated the exact same phrase twice... 
“no gps to pull from a camera” that is a straight up fucking lie. Both my point and shoot and my dslr have gps... 
This other tech guy working for them (ai guy?) he reminds me of kevin from crimi. Not sure if that’s just the over eager-second choice tech- guy vibes or if its something else... 
I don’t trust this bitch. At all. She's gotta be in on it. 
Hahahahaha elliot’s face when he walks in to jet and bobby in the room lol. 
This hate crimes guy is growing on me. 
Anyone else looking at the parallels of liv being hyperfocused on maddie and finding her, meanwhile elliot was so wrapped up with the Rita situation in the last season and now is so upset/lost about losing her... 
AYANNA CUDDLING HER LIL STUFFIE AHHHH *soft*

My Experience in TATINOF Sydney (#TatinofSpoilers)
Tumblr media
All photos were taken by me… unless credited other wise
Warning: there will be spoilers
On August 23 2016, I was very lucky to go to The Amazing Tour is Not on Fire by Dan and Phil and got the VIP (after screwing up for 15 mins). It was a really fun event and I had a blast and my memory is fading due to the hype and such that now is the time to document it all in a blog post.
Once again… I WILL PUT SPOILERS IN THIS POST!!!
If you want a spoiler free version, I posted a vlog about my experience in TATINOF:
Before the VIP
I was at University, sitting in my most confusing and difficult class I have ever faced in my first year life: Public Relations 101. I was looking at the time and tried to focus on the topic of public approval and it’s importance to businesses/organisations. Then 11:57 came, I immediately packed my gear and once 12:00 came, I made one more pit stop and went to my shuttle bus stop.
The train ride was long, like 1.5 hours (it’s a shuttle bus and 2 train rides) and somewhere between Parramatta and Strathfield, I fell asleep.
Then I arrived at the city where I met Hayli and her friends at Starbucks and basically we played Pokemon Go for 1 hour (because we arrived at 2pm and agreed to go to Luna Park at 3… Weird since people were waiting since 2:30). While playing Pokemon GO, we met 2-3 girls who went to TATINOF before and are wearing the shirts.
We soon arrived and there was a short line.
During VIP
Tip of advice:
Dont enter VIP early!!! 
Matyn and Cornelia came out 30 mins after we entered and I feel sooo bad that I couldnt meet them and we were not allowed to leave (which is unfair since Martyn and Cornelia were at the merch booth in USA and UK)
We basically waited and their tour manager came out setting the rules of the show. Unfortunately for VIP, only 1-2 made it to Audience Participation and the majority were from the General Admission. Then 15-30 mins later from waiting, we heard that Martyn and Cornelia were doing photos and we couldn’t leave and it sucks!
Then came the guestbook and this is what I wrote (sorry if it’s dark/bad):
https://journalsofafangirl.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/img_5136.jpg?w=665
Then their manager came out and set out the rules of the meet and greet and 5 minutes later, Dan and Phil came out and I manage to record it in HD on my camera (and it was useful since it was my only way to see them clearly).
Meeting Dan and Phil
(this part was written during the event w/ some added bits, after i met them):
So I was meeting them and I froze for around five seconds and they were all smiling and both boys were like ‘hi there’. I saw their faces and they were welcoming and smiling and waving and in my mind, I was like ‘holy crap what do I do, what do I say?’
Dan and Phil were like ‘do you want us to sign that for you’ and I hurriedly gave my ukulele. I got my camera and filmed it and phil (or dan… Cuz they sound alike) said ‘nice camera’ and I was freaking out because my mic was falling and I was really speachless. Then I captured a short video of them signing it and they said ‘beautiful ukulele’ and how it’s nice.
‘Don’t worry… It takes me one hour to take a perfect photograph’.
-Danisnotonfire to me during the Meet and Greet
We took the selfie and their arms are wrapped around me and i gave them my bracelets. First to phil then dan and they were like ‘aww they’re cute and they match our personalities’.
I then left and smiled but then when you leave… You instantly forget what happened and stuff and i freaked out cuz i couldnt do my shout out and stuff and I realised that I didnt hug them but i got the best photography advice from dan.
I had 3 mins of Dan and Phil.
Then after that, I fell to the floor because I had an existential Crisis
Before the Show
I lined up with a few friends from the Shaddy Subtweeters Group Chat and I was hungry. Luckily, a friend had some pizza and shared her food. Then we entered and I saw the stage and I was like ‘holy crap’. Then the songs that were being played, it was so cool people who are like me, singing these songs without being questioned.
Its basically Disneyland for Phandom Members.
Then the pre recorded announcement came and we all went silent and laugh due to their bants.
During the show [MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD]
So the last song ‘My Song Knows what you did in the dark‘ was playing for 1 minute then the power was cut off and the intro started with a countdown ticking while videos from their channels were being played.
Is it weird to analyse how they made the introduction to the show? As a media student who has played with editing programs, based on what I saw, I say it was created using Adobe Premier.
Then Dan and Phil came out and we just scream throughout the entire show because it was cool and amazing
I will not go on on most of the show since they have to be experienced for yourself but my favourite part is the fan fiction recreation as I manage to take a quick pic of the sexy cowboys gone camping and Dil’s appearance (I will never listen to O Fortuna the same way ever again)
After the show:
To be honest, there are multiple ways you can feel after the show. You could laugh, you could cry but I was an emotional wreck with a sore voice. When I returned to my part time job, I wasnt loud enough for registers because I lost it all during the show. The day after TATINOF, I was too depressed to do anything because I want to go back.
Luckily, my dad and I came to an agreement. I will be allowed to go to TATINOF again if it happens.
I then met some of my friends again from the Shaddy Subtweeters Group Chat for a final photo.
So what is TATINOF and what does it mean me:
“You don’t have to change just to impress others… You just have to be yourself”
In the past, I say to everyone I know in real life and online that TATINOF is like taking a religious pilgrimage because meeting Dan and Phil is rare in Australia and it’s a once in a lifetime event. But after going to the tour, it was more than just a pilgrimage. TATINOF is an event where it’s a shame-free zone. It doesn’t matter who you are, you will find a place to belong. TATINOF is also a place of where Dan and Phil will tell you in person (both on stage and in VIP) that it’s ok to be yourself and they will give you advice based on who you are and interest.
I mean look what happened to me, I wanted to take a photo using my DSLR but it screwed up and Dan gave me the best advice based on his experience. In a literal sense, it would mean me staying in a location for a long time just to take one shot and annoying the people around me. In a metaphorical sense, the message is to have patience on what I want to create, even if it takes a really long time.
TATINOF to me is an event where I can be free on who I am and a place where it’s accepting. If I go to a normal concert, most of the time, singing to the setlist is deemed shamed upon and unnatural. And at the same time, you can’t speak to the person next to you since they are mostly stuck up (I know because I went to a Taylor Swift and 1D concert in the past and you really can’t speak to the person next to you).
But in TATINOF, it’s a different experience. If one person yells ‘What Team?‘, everyone will yell ‘Wildcats‘ and if you are seen dancing, don’t worry, people will dance along with you.
And what I enjoyed about it was there was this girl who is sat at Sec 4 D-1, she follows @PhandomAus on twitter and thanked me to find someone to buy her spare VIP ticket (I just want to add this in there because this has to be my most memorable ‘thank you’ I’ve received when running the account for 11 months… along with many others).
Overall, TATINOF is a place of acceptance and happiness and where your flaws are counted as your strengths. It doesn’t matter who you since in the end, you belong with a group of people who will accept you and will have the same interest as you.
And now… I just can’t wait till I meet them again in Vidcon 2017 (USA or AUS depending on university) or TATINOF Philippines (for this, I’m ditching a week if I have to).
So Dan and Phil, if you see this… Thank you.

Thoughts on the catiline conspiracy?
OKAY this is from a few days ago and i looked at it and said. well thatll be a long answer. and forgot about it. sooo sorry this is late i guess but here goes.
im a toal catilina girl. i think he never did anything wrong and hes my bestie. i think im a little biased after reading saylor's catilina's riddle but i seriously think a ot of the charges and rumors against him were probably pretty trumped up and not all of them were true.
as for the actual conspiracy? yet again i am an APOLOGIST. like i honestly think revolution needs to happen for a government to be successful. if the revolution is successfully put down? sure good for them they passed the test the system gets to stay put because its strong enough to remain. if not then well! they deserved it because they couldnt even quell a revolution.
in regards to his methods i think a lot of it was either straight up made up or falsified in some way. like why would Catilina want to set the city on fire if he was going to be in charge of it. and where does the murder plot against cicero fall into the whole thing yk.
also yeah i do think cicero made a bigger deal out of it than it was. i dont think catilina was actually plotting to kill half the senate or murder cicero and light the city aflame. sure he was a rabble-rouser but also like not to that extent i dont think??? also making up lies to get people convicted was so so common i dont think its that far off to say he totally did.
BUT that being said i definitely think the conspiracy was real and wasnt completely invented by cicero. anyways tldr; im a catilina apologist and i think cicero was at least in part making the whole thing up,

Saving
Vinny had a plan, just one, go out, buy the art supplies and icecream and go home, but then nothing went as she planed, a fire on the building where she was, made everything more difficult she hid on the coner of the shop, she only had to make sure nobody was there so she could get in costume but there were too many panicked people runing around, even if the fire was actually tiny, she sighed and trying not to be seen made a big smoke to keep the fire away from the people nobody would see she was the one doing it so there wouldnt be a problem, when most of the people went out of the building and she couldn’t see people, she decided to start walking to the fire maybe if she was closer it would be easier to stop it.
Being close enough she heard a big noise and looking up some parts of the building was falling her eyes opened like plates “oh fuck-” she closed her eyes starting to use her powers to get away from there but before she sould dessapear herself she felt something picking her from bellow the falling rocks, she stopped using her powers and oppened her eyes seeing the hero, at first she tought about trying to get away from them but that would be too suspicious, everydoby might found out she is villain, she sighed and tried to get more into the poor civillian paper, putting her head on the heros soulder and holding her arms around her neck, she felt how Ezra holded her closer, dumbass, Vinny tought when they were outside, Ezra didn’t let her at the floor closer to other civillians she took Viiny to the top of a closer building, wich made Vinny confused whrn the hero stopped flying and set her down she left a sigh of relief.
“Are you okay dear civillian? “ She said making that weird pose heros do after saving someone, Vinny only raised an eyebrow, what a weird girl, she tought to herself.
“Oh, yes tahnk you so much! I really felt like this was my last day! I was so scared!” Doing the most high pitched voice she could and making her eyes shine, as if i would need you, she tought to herself, laughing on the inside.
The hero seem to fall for it getting closer to her and Vinny closely made a frow but controled herself.
“Don’t worry you can always call me!” She said with a cheerful voice and a huge smile, Vinny closely laughed if she knew to who she was talking to. The hero seemed to be waiting for something and Vinny didn’ t get what so she just gave her a fake smile.~
“ Well, I better go now, thank you again! You’re my hero!”
Hours later the hero got home, throwing herself on the couch.
“ Rough day?” Her friend and roomate asked.
She got up with a sad face.
“ I saved Vinny today! And I made a stupid move, i was expecting her to kiss me! I mean she kissed me the first time i helped her!”
Her roomate sat next to her, he looked at her giving a litte laugh.
“ The first time you saved her you were Sam, her classmate and friend, she gave you a kiss because you guys are friends on civillian life but today you were Ezra the hero of the city, who she doesnt know and isnt friends with! You couldnt be expecting her to kiss a stranger that saved her life! And also you´re talking like you were jealous of a kiss on the check given to your own self!”
“ Oh my god, you’re right!”

YO WHAT YOU GOT THE SCREENSHOTS IF THAT (pete wentz gay poem)
sunday, june 25, 2006at the end of it the only thing that we are promised in life is a hole in the ground. sometimes it gets you through the rough patches just to think that you could change someone. it makes you love them to think that they would change for you. but like i said before its more like the james bond series than anything else- different actors, same character. same shitty dialogue, same shitty songs for the same hearts. and anyone that says any different is a goddamned liar or worse, is just too much of an optim to pay anything mind. talking to you is like selling fire in hell. it can be done, but youre probably gonna have to tell a few white lies to make it happen. and anyone that changes only does it in front of your eyes and changes back when in the blackness of their own room. anyone can paint a gutter to make it look like gold. it only feels strange when the paint washes away. "love me with your head, not your heart". cigarettes on window sills. i love the way the smoke curls off of your lips. it makes me think we are in a period piece until the lexus hybrid drives by the front of your house. its efficient, just like you. went to the pride parade today just besides no one gives a compliment like a drunk gay man. when you are thinking about the first place where it all went wrong- please keep me in mind. you are ancient history- whichever side of this sentence you are on doesnt feel so great. you lob reassurance at me only im playing a different game. somtimes you just want to know that all is okay with the world and that you can sleep tight. only it never is when you need it to be. i keep talking and never say a thing. sleep easy. be well.i am still. i cant think of a single thing. it hits me like a wave. get me out of my mind."ransom notes keep falling at your mouthmid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outsspeak no feeling no i don't believe youyou don't care a bit you don't care a bit"i am a sentimental pessimist, dont blieve the fucking smile ever.love,the hot mess.posted by xo @ 10:30 PM 9/2/2004 - 8:06 PM EST noone ever fell in love with anyone because of empty pockets or red splotched eyes. drove around for hours tonight just to keep myself from feeling anchored. weighed down. to keep my mind off thinking about what kids like me deserve. desperation isnt a strong enough word (but it will have to do). my wrists are only black and blue cause i don’t got the balls. nothing gets you ready to have every single word dissected and put under a microscope. i got ringing in my ears but none on my fingers. i got sunsets in the veins on my wrists. we’re not just falling in love anymore, we’re demanding it. im the latest bloomer (dried out my wet dreams and saved them for a rainy day). i can still see you standing on my front porch- slowed my own thoughts down to a single blade of grass. you couldnt catch my eye cause i was too busy rolling them. the buttons on one side of your coat that wouldnt snap on the other side. they were just for fashion not for function you told me. you were pretty for a boy. it made me laugh when i thought of it, im sorry i wasnt laughing at what you were saying. it makes me laugh still- when im driving around for hours at night. id love to swerve off and blame it on the fog, but ive been talking on these roads too much lately. theyd spill all my secrets. this city won’t let me go. im sure theyd lock me up somewhere if anyone saw me at 23 sneaking into cemetaries. taking pills to make me feel okay sleeping in the grass just above you. the sirens find me at the first light. my lips cracked and dried from the tears, i'll probably die a cliche. flash the lights to kissing boys. provocative. i promise you i wont ever have another afternoon like when we used to sneak out of school and drive the lakeshore. noone will ever sound as cool as you. we built cool. we made up style. we set the standard and theyre all just trying to live up to it. if theres nobody who thinks like us anymore. untouchable is unlovable. you always have me humming in my head just out of key. i bought an alarm clock
just so i could hit the snooze button. whats the point in getting out of bed anymore if you only get out to say you did. if you could love the biggest fraud or the best liar- then im your prince. i was made just for fashion not for function. - petey

"Stop," The hero rasped out. "Let me go!"
They squirmed in the villains arms. Thier desperate attempt was stopped by the iron grip on thier body.
"Stop moving, you'll hurt yourself." The villain said.
The hero didnt listen. He tried once again to get out of the viallans hold, but stoped just as quickly as they began. In his attempts to escape his upper shoulder brushed against the villains leather coat. Ripples of pain shot up the hero's body, making them let out a groan. He felt like he couldnt breathe. He stilled in the agony. Once the pain had died down, he tried squirm once more.
The villain grimaced. "Your injuries are severe right now. Itd be best if you didnt resist my hold."
"I don't like being carried bridal style!" The hero hissed up at him, eyes narrowed.
The villain clicked his tounge. "I didnt know it hurt your ego so much. I'll make sure to bring it up in our next battle."
The villain winked at him. The hero could feel the raging inferno of angry burning inside him. Out of all the times the villain could be saying such silly things, it was now? He wanted to tear the villains hair out. Here he was bleeding out, in pain, and unsure whether he was going to make it till the morning. And the villain had the audacity to wink at him? He breathed slowly. Partly because his back felt like it was on fire, but also because he wasn't sure how many words he spit at the villain in a second. He needed to collect his thoughts.
After a minute of him dulling the pain, he finally looked up at the villain. And in the most threatening way possible, he breathed out; "Fuck. You."
The villain rolled his eyes. "Your about as intimidating as a butterfly."
The villain continued down the coradoor. "Were almost there."
The hero's breaths slowly were turning into harsh wheezes and pants. The pain was incomparable to anything else he had every experienced. Sure, a little stabbings and punches here and there, but never magic like this. His eyes dilated. He could see dark spots in his vision. The hero knew that they were losing a alot of blood, and if not seen by a professional soon, they might die. They closed thier eyes. Their whole body shook.
"Hold on a second and dont die on me, alright?" The villain tone grew slightly more panicked.
The villain stoped at the end of the hallway at a small orange door. The villain slipped the hero out of his grasp.
"I need you to walk now."
The hero's feet hit the ground. He inhaled sharply and wobbled on his feet. The villain still supported him with the hero's arm over thier shoulder. The hero whimpered slightly at the change of postion. The hero fought against losing conscious. The hero's head slung down.
"Hey now, stay awake." With his free hand the villain tapped on the hero's cheek. The hero only groaned, whispering a small 'stop'.
The villain wasnt shaken and lifted the heros head up.
"Here, look at this."
The hero barely opened his eyes. He squinted at the orange door. Through the haze of pain the hero made out the numbers 670. The hero immediately had dozens of questions.
"My apartment? How'd you know where I live?" He rasped.
"My sidekick is excellent at finding information. Quite the skill I must say." The villain fiddled with the door asvhe unlocked it with a set of keys.
"Also, it is the safest place currently." He quietly added.
The hero nodded in agreement. With the whole city being under attack right now, the supervillain wouldn't care to look in some low run down apartment complex on the edge of the city. If anything the supervillain would be searching every skyscraper downtown from where they where last spotted.
"Here," The villain opened the door and they quickly stumbled inside. The villain shut the door behind them and sure to turn the upper lock. Better safe then sorry.
The Hero made a mental note to ask where he had gotten the keys to his apartment. Regardless of his supposed sidekick, his landlord only gave on set of keys out to people. The fact that the villain had another was odd.
The villian brought them into the living room.
"Wheres the bedroom? You need to lay down."
The hero motioned to the side door on the left. The villain opened the door and played the hero on the bed. The burning feeling subsided slightly, but he still remaind motionless on his stomach.
The villain removed his large coat and placed it on a chair nearby. He rolled up his sleeves.
"Hopefully no one saw us or we'll both be dead in the next hour." The villain unhumorously added.
"But before we worry about that, we should get you patched up."
The hero gritted his teeth. "I dont need your help."
The villain surveyed the room, looking for any signs of a first aid kit. The color sceam was light oranges and creams. On the walls hung small yet gorgeous paintings. The bed (white the villain noticed) was made. The sheets were tucked into the beds sides. Along with fluffy pillows organized in a row at the top of the bed. The room was illuminated by a lamp that gave off a warm glow. The villain would've complemented the decor if it wasnt the wrong place and time to do so. It accured to the villain that perhaps the hero had cleaned before he left to stop thier grand scheme.
"Sure you dont," the villain scoffed sarcasticly. "Not like your bleeding out or can barly stand."
They noticed that the hero had shifted slightly to meet the villains eyes.
"Where's the first aid kit, hero?" The villain asked.
The hero pursed his lips. After a pause, he responded.
"Bathroom."
The hero motioned to the door on the right side. The hero was instantly off to the bathroom. After a small rummage through some cabinets, he came back with a small first aid kit.
"Due to your wounds, you'll to take off your shirt and lay on your stomach."
The villain put surgical gloves over his hands. He rummaged through the box looking for anything helpful. He knew that the hero could heal quicker then the average person given a few days, yet he'd never seen the hero have injurys like this. The hero likely had 3rd degrees burns on his back so he needed something cold to do the trick. After looking some more, he found a packet of Supersnow! The perfect cooling agent for superheros and villains alike! All he would need was some ice and bandages to wrap the wounds.
The villain quickly left the room for the freezer and came back. The hero had sat up slightly on the back. They tugged at shirt, attempting to lift over thier head. It was to mo avail, as the hero had to stop every few seconds because of the pain. The villain set the ice down on a bedside table.
"Here," The villain pulled the remaining half of the shirt over the hero's head.
The hero then did as he'd been told, and rolled over onto his stomach. The villain let in a little gasp. In all his years of being in the bussiness he had not seen wounds like this. Half of the heros back of been charred. The flesh had been sizzled by the blast. Some areas of the wound was bright pink was the others had deeper shades of red. Blood seeped out of parts of the would that hadnt scabbed over by the heros amazing healing ability. The villain almost felt like he was going to double over and vomit.
"Is it that bad?" The hero called over his shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.
He forced his voice to remain strong.
"Yeah." He responded.
The villain dumped some of the super snow creme into his hands.
"I need you to stay still, this will hurt slighly."
The villian smoothed the creme across the heros charred back. The hero made no hot headed remark or verbal cue that he was in pain. Perhaps the coldness of it was nothing compared to the burns. The villian moved his hands up and down the heros side. He made sure that every part of the heros back was coated in it. When he got to his left shoulder, he grimaced at the severity of the burn. The skin was almost black. When his fingertips grazed slightly over the skin the hero let out a slight hiss. The villain made sure to work delicately around the area.
Lastly the villain bandaged the hero up. The hero must've done this himself before, the villain noted. He had all sorts of supplies in the kit, big and small.
Once finished, the villains stepped back to admire his work. The hero was still dazed, yes, and also in pain. But he wasnt going to bleed to death anymore. Meds would help the pain.
The villain removed his surgical gloves and walked back into the kitchen for any other supplies. At least he had stopped the bleeding, but now he was sure he would sleep for several hours. Yes, that would be enough time for the hero to recover. They could stay stationed here for a few more days, but leaving the city seemed like a much better option. The villain knew that the hero couldnt take another beating like this. And the supervillain would likely kill him before any wounds could be tended too. He decided to discuss the plan with the hero in the morning.
"Here," The hero returned with a glass of water in hand and medications in the other.
The hero twisted and sat up. He raised a brow at the little blue pills.
"Its to help you sleep and for pain. I'm not trying to posion you."
Thankfully, the hero didnt fight him this proposal and took the pills instantly. The hero settled into bed. The villain sat at a bedside chair.
"You should sleep now. I'll keep watch." The villain said. He picked up a book from the table and flipped through the pages haphazardly. It appeared that the hero had gotten halfway into the story. It amused him that the hero liked old classic novels. He look up to meet the heros eyes.
The hero scowled at him.
"Yes?"
"You wont kill me in my sleep will you?" He asked, eyebrow raised.
The hero had snuggled himself underneath the sheets. He head rested on a pillow facing the villain.
The villain rolled his eyes. "No hero, I will not kill you after I bandaged you wounds."
The villain looked down at the book.
"Although you might kill me with your task in reading," He muttered.
"What?" The hero asked.
"Nothing," The villain quickly answerd.
The hero narrowed his eyes. The villain managed a awkward smile, shifting slightly in the chair.
The hero squinted slightly.
"Good. I thought you were about to insult my taste in books."
"Wouldnt dream about it." The villain said.
With that he settled into the chair. It was remarkable comfortable and the would be lieing if he said the hero didnt a great taste in furniture too. He flipped through a few more pages in book. It wasnt something he would normally read, but perhaps it would be a good way to pass time. Even I'd that meant reading this sad sack of literature for the hours to pass by. After a few read pages, the villain noticed how quiet it was. The hero hadnt spoken another word. The villain looked up to meet the hero staring back at him. Had the hero been staring at him? The villian caught a faint glimpse of foundness in his eyes. But that quickly disapaited when the hero realized he had been caught.
"Enjoying yourself?" He remarked.
The villain sighed. "No actually."
"You almost died, the inner city's on fire, a supervillain still looking for us, and I am now reading this cluster fuck of a novel." They murmured.
He slumped against the side of the chair, leaning his cheek on his left palm. "The world is at odds currently."
The hero gave him a almost sympathetic look.
"I'm worried too." He murmured.
Silence broke out again. The villain didn't know what else to say. They continues to stare at each other. Both of them refesyed to break eye contact. The hero bit his inner cheek.
"Why'd you save me?" He finally asked.
This caught him off guard. The villain expected a question about his next evil plan. Perhaps a question over what made him choose a life of crime. It was strange. The villain didnt consider what he did as something heroic. It was the right thing to do. He was evil, but he wasnt bad.
"Consider it a an apology." The villain said.
"You? Apologising?"
The villain shrugged. "Happens to the best of us,"
He fiddled with his fingers. "I also did acidently got you hurt too." He mumbled.
"Thank you."
The villain thought that the world would crumble beneath him. The hero? Thanking him? It seemed unfathomable. And even then, he had done the bear minimum. Saving someone was the right thing to so.
The villain caught himself grinning.
"Repeat that for me?" He teased.
The heros face grew hot.
"I will not."
"Comon, once more for me?" He batted his eyelashes for affect.
The hero rolled his eyes. "Leave it."
The villain did as he was told. The hero settled more into the bed. His eyes grew heavy and fluttered shut. His breathing slowed. The villain calculated that he would be past asleep any second. Hopefully this conversation would give him some peace of mind before the fight ahead.
"But your still here?" The hero then murmured. "Why havent you left yet?"
"I'm keeping watch," The villain murmured back.
"Well yes," The hero said. "But wouldn't the rooftop be more suitable?"
The villain chuckled.
"Does his highness want some alone time?"
The hero peeked one eye open. "No."
"Good." The villain said.
Its wasnt like the hero could do much of anything at the moment without the villains help.
"But seriously, why haven't you left yet?" The hero asked.
"Let's say," The villain murmured, "Potentially, your growing on me."
The hero paused. Only the sounds of his breaths could be heard in the dimly lit room.
"How am I growing on you?"
The villain opened his mouth to speak, but the hero beat him to it.
"I hope I grow on you like a weed. " The hero said, smirking.
Even if the words meant to have malice, there was non in the heros tone. Tiredness had gotten to his sharp tounge as well. The villain didnt care. Before the villain could say another things, he realised that the hero had already dozed off. Now that they were asleep, he lowered his voice to the lowest tone possible. His voice was almost a whisper. They were sworn enemy's, but the villain couldn't help but let his feelings spill off his tounge.
"I fear you may be growing on me like a flower. "

Loki Masterlist

Tumblr media
It had been a long day, state had walked in last minute at the begining of the week and you had been on your feet for hours. All you wanted to do was pile up after soaking in a long bath and curl under a fluffy blanket. Your phone buzzed as you walked in the door.
Loki: Don't worry about anything, go to the bathroom and relax. 💚
The one thing you hated about working late was missing time with your boyfirend, no one else could really understand why or how you had fallen for the god of mischief but when you did you had fallen hard. He was the sweetest most caring person that you knew, althoigh he didnt really let others see that side of him.
Kicking your shoes off at the door you sighed in relief as you pulled the scrub top over your head and threw it on the couch, you could pick it up later. Walking down the hall you shimmied out of your pants and just left them there, what ever that could wait too. You had been getting home late everyday this week neglecting your everyday tasks you could do the later.
"Self care. Self care is important right now." You mumbled to no one in particular. Loki had apperantly stayed at the town tonight which was fine you didn't mind that he had stayed there. Of course you wouldnt have minded curling up and letting him read to you either.
"Ah yes, self care is very important my little Dove." He said popping his head out from the bathroom causing you to scream.
"Jesus Loki! Warning next time." You said placing your hand over your pounding heart.
"I sent you a message." He said wacing his phone in the air. You laughed, looking around the corner of the bathroom you realized that he had drawn you a bath with candles around it.
"You know, your such a sweetheart sometimes." You laughed pulling at the straps of your bra pulling it off.
"Don't tell the others." He came up behind you and placed his hands on his shoulders kissing the back of your head.
"Never." You smiled slipping into the warm water. "Join me?"
"Maybe in a bit. You relax, I'll go clean the house up. You deserve some alone time." He walked to the door and turned on your music.
After a little bit he came back in dressed in some sweat pants, a black t shirt, and his zip up hoodie. "Are you feeling any better?" He asked sitting beside the tub tracing his fingers over the top of the water. You hummed in approval.
"Wanna talk about it?" He leaned his head on the tube next to yours.
"Just stressful, very long week. Had to make sure that everything was done on time, long nights followed by not enough sleep for the longer days. What can I say though? Its what I signed up for right? I love my job but it just gets to much sometimes."
"You could use a break, maybe a vacation? We could go somewhere, anywhere. Any realm. You pick, darling I could show you the stars." He may a jester with his hand.
"That sounds wonderful, but right now Im happy right here. I missed you so much this past week. I couldnt get my mind off of you all day."
"Shall I start planning a trip then? I wouod love nothing more than to see you walking the halls of Asguard." He smiled.
"Asguard?" You shot up causing him to get splashed with some water.
"Yes, of course. I would very much like you to meet my mother." He laughed wiping his face with the towel before handong it to you.
"Well, Asguard it is." You said wrapping the towel around you to dry off before changing into your louge clothes. You spent the rest of the evening planning the trip while curled up on the couch listening to him ramble on about the beautiful city that you would be visiting in a week.

“research” Rhysand x reader - reader is a Peregryn descendant from Dawn court acting as Emissary. Rhys takes reader to a museum.
Rhys’ approving stare burned into your back as you stood on the balcony, wings flared. Your Peregryn feathers were a lovely contrast to his dark Illyrian like bat wings. He often muttered his envy about them to you, especially after being intimate. He loved to stroke them and admire the softness and his muttered approvals soothed you to sleep. 
Maybe his approval was coming from the sight of your naked body in the silver moonlight. You felt a swell of heat rush to your cheeks as he approached, his wings also extended. They flared as he reached the open air on the balcony. The shimmering lights of velaris in the snow far, far below. The magic of the House retained the slight wind that blew through, but warmed it instantly. 
“Quite a fancy house for one cruel high lord. I imagine most would think that the Night Court would also be cold.” You remarked, tucking your wings in slightly so he could stand next to you. He tucked in his as well, understanding the sensitivity of such a part being touched. 
Rhysand knew how such a simple touch of a wing could be the undoing of many different feelings. From the pain of them being bent wrong, or pleasure of them being toyed with exactly right. Toying - for research he had called it. Figuring out which form of wing was more sensitive.
“Cruel or no, most of us here have spent far too much time in the cold of Illyrian mountains to settle for less. Azriel usually says if he wasn’t aligned with me, he’d move to the Summer court.” He leaned over the railing, taking in a deep breath of the fresh air. Something in his eyes gleamed, and a small smile appeared. 
“Seeing the master of Shadows in a place so bright would be quite the contrast.” You grinned, gripping the railing tight. The urge to jump off and fly was nearly overwhelming. Your wings extended, craving the cold bite of the wind. Despite being such a small heritage, your instincts were sometimes overwhelming. You felt the corners of your lips fall, the memories of your few cousins falling to enemies during the War coming back.
Rhys tucked his wings in, turning to you. Something like sadness was there in his eyes, making you nervous.  “You may leave when you wish. I only ask that you give me...a warning. So I can have a story ready for my court when you go.” He said too formally, as if he had practiced this. After the months of you visiting as a communication link with Thesan, you knew you would have to leave at some point. But you had yet to hear the order to do so. And you much preferred the scenery of Rhy’s court than the safe harbor home Thesan kept sunny constantly. It was… refreshing. Much like Rhy’s presence. 
“Are you telling me to go?” You nudged him slightly, knowing it’d rattle him. His eyes shot to you, and he nudged you back. “Never. I just… wish you could stay.”
He had more to say than that, and you knew it. “Then why ask me if I need to go?”
“Because the longer you stay the less I think I will be willing to let you go.” He wrapped his arms around you, the evidence of claim apparent through his thin cotton pants. “Even if Thesan is one of my closest allies. I may just have to keep you for myself.” His head lowered to your ear as he said it, his lips grazing your skin. You felt your core tense and heat.
“I dont know what you’re talking about. I am merely a communicator between two courts.” You grinned, nipping his ear. His low growl was anything but agreeing. His hands were on you, slowly palming your sensitive areas, lighting your insides on fire. He gave you a lingering kiss before pulling away. He eyed you suspiciously, seeming to deliberate to himself. 
Then, he snapped and suddenly you were fully clothed, and he was standing on the balcony railing. The silver light painted his hair and wings in a dull blue hue. “I have a different idea for us tonight… if you can keep up that is.” His wild smile told you all you needed to know. He leapt gracefully, before catching the wind below with a fading laugh. You cursed quietly to yourself, hauling your body up to the pillar and sending yourself soaring. 
+
“Dont tell me this is some kind of Illyrian initiation.” You chided, matching his pace as best you could. It was hard to not outpace him as he glided, his enormous wings gliding on the cool air. 
He laughed, banking slightly as you approached the small city below. Nestled into the mountain side along the sea, it didnt seem as harsh as the Illyian camps he had showed you from afar. Your mind flashed to those camps, the tents and the tooth chattering cold. No, this place was much too homey for such a camp. 
“This is… a gallery of sorts. Not many come here, but I thought it would also be nice for you to be able to tell Thesan about such a place.” He slowly began descending as he explained, and indeed the location seemed to have many large ancient looking items outside. 
As soon as you landed you were taken aback. The sight of an enormous, dark stone that took up the majority of the space outside the carved entrance to the gallery. A path had been worn around it, as if the spot had many visitors. You doubted many but Rhys even knew about the place. 
“It’s- it reminds me of you.” You were in awe. The stone glittered in the torchlight, but remained dark where the light wasnt refracted. It was smooth as well, besides the jagged and pointed edges. 
Rhysand turned from the mountain entrance “The rock? Darling just wait until you see inside.” He smiled, waving you over. With a wave of his hand, the door opened, pulling back then sliding away. Faelights slowly hummed to life inside the cavernous space. You couldnt see the entire room but the area must have been enormous. No way to see all of the things held inside in one day. Not even multiple days you were willing to bet. “Priestesses are the only others allowed here besides residents of Velaris, but not many of either ever visit. He explained, sending more faelight into the dark cavern.
“There are a few things in particular I wanted to show you.” He took your hand, guiding you to the right down a large archway. The lights bobbed and followed, casting strange shadows along the uneven cave walls. 
The sound of water flowing at a trickling pace filled the new, smaller room. The sight of the armor before your took your breath away. Ancient, well kept and utterly deadly looking. You felt a thrill of panic, as well as pride at the sight of it. “How-” You stammered, covering your mouth with a trembling hand. 
The white and silver plates were excruciatingly detailed, the sword beside the set a shining silver, as if freshly forged by the sun itself. Thesan had no armor of this quality still available at the Dawn court. The quality, the beauty of such a piece was exquisite. “If Thesan wishes to have this back, please feel free. But let him know that we have only recently acquired it. We have not been hoarding.” Rhys spoke from behind you, his voice soft and patient. 
Memories of being a child and playing with wooden swords flashed into your head. Envisioning such perfect armor like before the War fitting you, guilding you, marking you as the highest of warriors among the Dawn court. 
“W-who is we?” Was all you could manage as you reached out to touch the solid breastplate. Memories of parades, children cheering and high fae clapping as generals in shining armor marched home from the War. Centuries had passed since such armor was needed, thus they began to disappear. 
Rhys took your hand again, rubbing a thumb over yours. “A few high priestesses found it among their… storage. Closer to an abandoned temple but - I had Cassian clean it up for me a few weeks ago.” He chuckled before saying “I almost had to threaten him to get him to give it back to me. He was in awe and wanted to keep it for himself.” 
Your lips curve upwards, heart hammering. You pulled him in quickly for a tight hug. “Thank you.” You said deeply, wishing you could put the thoughts you were having directly into his head. Wishing you could tell him how much this meant. 
He pulled away from you, his callused hands going to cup your face as he pulled you in for a kiss. “Maybe I wont tell Thesan… and I’ll have to come back more often to take a look at the rest of this place.” You bit his lower lip and grinned at his darkened eyes.
“For research purposes only, surely?” He began kissing down the column of your neck, biting playfully. 
“Research, of course.” You sighed as his hands began tracing over your body.

Event Masterlist
Oikawa friends to lovers baking while baked first kiss. Post time skip.
Oikawa has been your best friend since the beginning of your first semester when you met him at one of his away games in your city. He wasn’t around often then, your friendship consisting of 80% texts and calls, but when he was around his personality was so infectious you couldn’t imagine not having him in your life.
So you stuck with him, made an effort to keep the friendship strong when you were apart, so on those rare occasions when you could get together, ones like tonight, it would be even more amazing.
The joint passes easily between your fingers as you sit on your fire escape with him. You were talking about your exams coming up and the way his teammate is being a complete pain in the ass.
“How long are you here for?” You ask, expecting a week or less but smiling when he said
“a few months actually. It’s the off season and I’m taking some time to get my priorities in order”
you laugh “my pro volleyball player has priorities other than volleyball huh? Like what?” You ask then take a long hit and pass it to him
“like this” he says and smiles with his eyes as he takes a hit, winking at you and making you roll your eyes with a smile.
You feel your cheeks warm as you look over the edge, your heart fluttered when he said that, the feelings for him you kept hidden seeming to rush straight back to the surface.
By the end of the joint you’re giggling and leaning against him, no cares in the world, your previous worry about him knowing your feelings were out the window, replaced by a calm mellow joyful feeling between you both.
“God it’s so cold” you say “let’s go inside, my roommate moved out yesterday and I haven’t found anyone to take their place yet”
“Oh finally!” He’s saying as he throws his legs across the window “she was horrendous!” You laugh as you watch him struggle, his legs feeling like melted butter.
“Do you need some help?” You ask giggling and he starts to laugh with you “get over here!” he says between laughs and you move to stand next to him and put your arm around him, helping him hop into your apartment.
His arms wrap around you as he gets his footing, he buries his face in your neck and you squeal as his cold nose pushes into your neck.
“stop you’re so cold!” You laugh and he chuckles into your neck “and you’re so warm” he mumbles and hugs you closer. You couldnt resist how good it felt to be standing holding him, like your tingling skin felt soothed by his warmth.
You eventually give in and hug him back, taking his warmth as you shiver “you smell so good” you mumble into his neck and he chuckles “glad you think so” he says and his breath tickles your skin.
The way he spoke sounded so soft, your heart fluttered and you gasp, taking a step back and looking up at him through heavy bloodshot eyes.
“We should make brownies” he says suddenly, smiling wider as he runs to your kitchen. “They’ll warm us up!” He’s calling back.
You stand there for just a few more moments, calming your stupid racing heart, before you join him in your kitchen.
Making brownies high was an experience that just got harder and harder as it went along.
As he gets down your kitchenaid mixer from above your fridge and for a second you thought he was going to fall over backwards, so you stranded behind him ready to catch him at any moment.
You start some chill music and that was the easiest part of the evening. Your chuckling as you reread the ingredients list for the third time since he wasn’t listening, naming them out and he pulls them from the shelves and fridge.
Reading was a struggle when your eyes felt like couldn’t see and your mouth kept forgetting the words you were trying to say leading to Oikawa yelling “spit it out!” Making both of you have a giggle fit
When he goes to crack an egg he just drops the whole thing in the batter which starts you both on a second giggle fit that can only be quelled when you start clearing your throat, suddenly feeling thirsty with a dry mouth.
The brownies and egg in the batter was forgotten about while you make iced lemonade together.
Once you got back to the batter, you struggled through until they got into the oven. Making sure to set an alarm because you would not remember like you could sober.
Somehow you ended up sitting on the floor watching the brownies bake as you shared some of the extra batter you left in the bowl. “Brownies was a good call” you say softly and he gives you his signature cocky smile “I’m full of good ideas as you know” he says, chin covered in brownie batter.
You laugh at the state he’s in, mussed hair, hooded bloodshot eyes, and brownie chin. He looked so high it was so funny to you, he started joining in your laughing, not understanding what was funny but unable to stop.
You reach up and cup his cheek, brushing your thumb against his soft skin before bringing up your other hand, spoon forgotten in the bowl between you, and brush the batter from beneath his bottom lip and chin.
He gasps softly, his hands reaching for you, needing to hold you and make sure you were real and solid.
“Y/n” he whispers and grabs your knee with one hand, the other resting against your neck.
You gasp softly and look up from his lips to his eyes and feel your cheeks warm in embarrassment.
“Oikawa, I.. I” he smiles at you softly, brushing your hair with his fingers “I think we’re too high” you whisper, but you don’t move away, you keep your hold on him and that gives him hope.
“I don’t think this is because of the drugs. I’ve felt like this long before we ever smoked together” he says and you chuckle softly, your skin tingling where he touched, your brain felt light but clear, you felt like you were as melty as the brownies looked, half baked in the oven.
“You have?” You ask and bump your nose into his “you don’t know the half of it” he admits and you gaze adoringly through glazed eyes up at him. He cups your cheek and runs his thumb across your bottom lip “can I kiss you?” You ask and he chuckles “I might die if you don’t” he whispers you smile and press your lips to his for just a moment before pulling back and saying “you’re so dramatic Tooru”
the small chuckle that leaves his lips morphed into a happy laughter that had you placing your head against his shoulder as your sounds of laughter fill your small kitchen
“Tooru I just, I always thought you’d only see me as your best friend I never thought” you say and look back into his eyes.
he laughs “you never thought I’d be smart enough to get my head out of my ass and know what’s right in front of me? Y/n we’ve been through thick and thin and you’ve been my forever constant. Give me some credit, I’m not as dumb as Iwa thinks” you chuckle again and lean forward, the ability to resist the urge gone because of the weed, and press your lips softly to his neck.
You kiss up his neck slowly, feeling him swallow hard as he sighs, a sound that had your head spinning as you kiss across his jaw, until you finally press your lips against his and his world explodes.
Your lips move together slowly, feeling extra sensitive against his, aware of every nerve ending in your body. Your hands bury in his hair, you taste brownies on his tongue and you feel fireworks across your skin as you hum in approval and lick his bottom lip.
He chuckles and meets your tongue with his own before you both tried to lead the kiss, ending up making your head spin from how good it felt.
The brownie timer goes off and you gasp, jumping back and then laughing as Oikawa turns off the timer.
“Let’s get the brownies out and then we’ll get back to business” he says with a lopsided grin as you stand making you roll your eyes again, even tho your lips were turned up in a grin and your cheeks were warmer than ever.
After he places the brownies on the cooling rack he shakes off the oven mits to the counter and raises his hands towards you wiggling his fingers.
“let’s get back to business” he says and you start to chuckle before backing away slowly “hey hey wait where are you going?” He asks and you just wink with a giggle and turn, bolting from the room, his laughter following after you just before you hear him say “oh yeah” and start to actually run after you.
He’s on your heels as you reach the living room and his hands are on you by the couch, grabbing your waist and dragging you to the floor with him as he tickles your sides.
Your giggles fill the room as you try and swat him away “okay okay! I yield!” You’re saying and he stops his movements, pulling you back into his arms as he leans his back against the the couch.
“Back to business?” You ask and he laughs, his half hooded eyes looking at you like you’re the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen, and if you asked he would tell you honestly that yes, you are the most beautiful creature he’s ever seen.
“Yes please” he says and cups your cheeks as you lean in, pressing your lips to his once more.
Later that evening, with your head on his chest as you watched a movie cuddled up with him and stealing kisses whenever the boring parts came up, he leaned down to your ear and whispered, his voice soft and full of hope for the future
“I know we havent talked about what this is yet, that it’s day one and I’m definitely getting ahead of myself” he kisses your temple then sighs in contentment and says
“but maybe it’s a good thing your roommate moved out. Maybe it’s a good thing there’s a place for me here.”

Explain Hancock lore to me pls I'm genuinely curious because I'm too impatient to pay attention to anything when I'm playing a game so in fallout I always just run around with my hot ghoul bf but I dont know anything about him because I skip all the dialogue
honestly respect, and okay so BASICALLY dont mind me im just gonna leave an entire Hancock-flavored essay here under the cut ->
im just gonna explain what he tells u in-game and u can find all this on the wiki, but i like saying it and i basically memorized it so ! u might actually know all this already but i v much appreciate u asking hdbsjdj
hancock was john mcdonough, a human and the brother of mayor mcdonough, and when the mayor kicked all the ghouls out of diamond city for No reason hancock couldnt bear to see all those people basically sentenced to death and he left. he managed to help some of them, but he was only one man, and a lot of them disappeared.
after that, he stumbled around as a drifter, literally just surviving. he wound up in the streets of goodneighbor, and the tyrannical mayor of the place at the time was being a fucking dick to everyone and killing drifters for no reason. a Source of Trauma for hancock was then, when he watched that mayor and his gang kill a drifter right in front of him. he describes that they "cracked him open like a can of cram on the pavement." heavy stuff. anyways hancock and the other drifters were frozen with fear, and i mean who wouldnt be, but hancock still feels guilty for not doing anything about it then.
so hancock, who is not quite hancock at this point, decides "god fucking damn i hate myself" and takes this experimental drug packed with radiation. he says he couldnt stand looking at who he was in the mirror anymore, and he knew that taking that drug would wipe that away. john mcdonough, wracked with guilt, takes a cleaver to his own life, becoming a ghoul and getting so goddamn high that he winds up knocked out in the basement of the old state house. (dont ask me how the hell he got in there or why he wasnt intercepted by one of the mayor's goons, cause ive got no fucking clue havdjhf)
anyways, when he wakes, he finds himself staring at the dusty old clothes of john hancock hanging there in the display case, still miraculously untouched after two hundred years. he says that "he mightve still been high but those clothes /spoke/ to him," and suddenly, he knows what he needs to do. he sets his metaphorical cleaver down as he puts on the clothes, transformation finished. he's carved out a new life for himself with that weapon, and he's done running away. from everything.
so, he rounds up all the drifters, gives them weapons, and hides up in the rafters while the mayor and his gang get wasted. they drop down, and they all immediately surrender. for their crimes, hancock's motley little crew kill them all anyways. ((from the man's own mouth: "we didnt have to fire a shot. we didn't /have/ to. but we sure fucking did {]>:) (thats his hat))
he says there wasnt even an official decision or anything, they just all looked to him and suddenly he was on that balcony of the old state house, still rushed with adrenaline and shouting out the first words that came to mind: "of the people, for the people." that was his 'inaugural address.' he says they didnt even feel like his words, that first time he said them, but they fit, and he didnt want to take them back.
with all the decorum that the post-apocalypse can muster, john hancock becomes the mayor of the second-largest city in the commonwealth. and john mcdonough might as well be dead to the world.
its never said exactly how long he's been mayor, or even how long it took him to become mayor after leaving diamond city. if i had to guess, seeing how he talks abt his former self, he was pretty young. maybe he left somewhere in his twenties, formed that little revolution anywhere from a month to a year afterwards, and has been mayor-ing since. he's pretty familiar with all of his friends and family in goodneighbor, so its safe to say he's been there for a good few years. fuck, its not even said how old hancock /is/ come to think of it hskdjfn i'd place him anywhere from 25 to 40, probably somewhere near the middle.
((also, extra fun fact that i cant find anywhere to place, hancock actually knows nick from his days in diamond city and if you walk into goodneighbor with nick at your side, they'll give a brief but familiar hello to each other. on the flip side, if you go to save nick with hancock at your hip and enter dialogue with hancock there, he says something to the effect of, "hey, dont worry. if anyone can find your boy, it's ol' Nick. assuming we get out of this pit alive, that is" (referring to the weird decrepit vault nick's stuck in.) i just think thats pretty neat))
so yeah, there you have it, all the Hot Ghoul Bf Lore off the top of my head !! its nice to type it all out for once instead of stumbling through saying it all at dinnertimes and family gatherings hsbajdjn
