#Loyal Heir

I literally woke up in the middle of the night like God will dark rise is so fucking screwed. The line that’s like. “Everyone wanted to kill the Dark King.” What’s the part where he looks at Violet helplessly, haunted, almost pleading for mercy? But of course he reveals nothing of substance to anyone. Elizabeth is too young to understand but the reader knows what “Her relationship with that boy was…unnatural” can mean. Tying him to bedposts? Failing to strangle him? What else? Never not even once seeing beyond a mythological identity Will himself didn’t know he had? What did he think was the reason? That he was just intrinsically hateful? Of course he says nothing. Of course Violet can’t trust him- he’s given her nothing as painfully real as what she’s given him. So he gives her the sword hoping at least he can die at the hands of someone he loved, but even that doesn’t work out - she gives the sword to a Visander still furious at SARCEAN. The pattern continues; no one looks at Will, who vomits when he realizes what’s happened to James, Will who is much of a liar and killer and sneak as Elizabeth accuses but nonetheless wants to be different. Even when he doesn’t remember his own past. There’s no way out for him that doesn’t hurt. Hope this obsession passes soon given the one and a half years of waiting required for book 3
#dark rise series#dark heir#rarely does a cliffhanger pain me so much#bc rarely am I ever THAT invested in a plot I am sad to say#nona the ninth was so cathartic in of itself I’m content marinating before alecto#BUT PACAT ONLY EVER GIVES EMOTIONAL CRUMBS#have any of these bitches ever known peace fr#maybe this is what reading princes gambit and not immediately having the follow up might’ve been like#honestly it’s possibly damen and Lauren just generally had less problems tho#more than his relationship even with James. will/Violet is perhaps the genuine source of like. I WISH HED GIVEN HER A REASON.#the narration that describes Violet as Will’s star in the night…….. like fuck fine#will can’t reach any level of genuine intimacy with James bc the mess of fraught noncon dynamics is this massive unspoken horrible thing#wills identity is personal w James in a way it is with no one else but James is so fucking oblivious of undercurrents it comes unbalanced#and will knows it. but (as far as we know) violet isn’t reborn has no history with sarcean the dark king she’s literallt just Some Guy#and that almost makes it worse???????? that they are so loyal to each other even as he’s keeping a massive secret?#they weren’t dated or destined to entangle the way will is w characters like James and Katherine#and I think that makes his rship with Violet possibly the realest and truest experience of trust and love will has ever had#like it’s nothing bro. truly she knows nothing about him other than his lies of omission and her faith in him goodness which may or may not#beiltimately justified. but that was probably as honest and close will ever got to anyone. and him to her.

Zukka week 2023
Day 6: Royalty (& historical AU)
In a world Where the Fire Nations wins in the beginning with their conquest, but certaily found peace.
"After Prince Lu Ten's death, Prince Iroh grieved, but also did Azulon: Iroh can't have more children, so the succesion is doomed. If Prince Ozai is the next on the throne, they would start a new war, and Azulon is tired. Until a decision that makes Iroh When he secludes with his father in which they made an arragement:
1. Iroh steps down as Heir, but stays as his father side.
2. Ozai would not inhereted the throne.
3. That Prince Zuko, would be the next Fire Lord, with Iroh as his adviser and mentor.
So, since he is ten, Prince Zuko is the Heir of the entire Fire Nation, their colonies and allies.
That ripped this family in two factions: the one Who supported Prince Ozai's claim (and also Princess Azula) as Fire Lord, for their power as firebenders and their supremacy.
They were called "The Golds".
The one Who supported the Heir Prince Zuko’s true claim, were Prince Iroh, Princess Ursa, and Fire Lord Azulon himself. They thought the Young Prince, even if he wasn't a prodigy, was a very skilled swordman, has a better understanding of the other nations, and was very kind hearted and loved by the common.
They were called "The Reds".
Between The loyalist of the Red Prince, There was a Southern Water Tribe boy, Who studied with Master Piandao, at the same time as do the Prince. They become very close friends, until they grow up.
Some would say, that they were more than that.
Until the day The Golds usurped the throne after Azulon's death, and Prince Iroh was missed in one of his diplomatics Journeys. That left the young Heir of seventeen as a fool.
The day he, his Mother and Some companion, make an honorary funeral for his grandsire, the warrior Sokka (with his Sister, Lady Katara ) came with something: the Fire Crown, and, at the dawn of that tragic day, Prince Zuko became Fire Lord Zuko.
A civil war started. Brother against Sister. Son against father.
But then the Avatar wakes up, and with that, the times runs out. The first one to keep him on their side, would won the war.
And The Dance of Dragons begun. "
-"The Red Dragon and the Avatar" by 'The Cabbage Man'
Well, I can say that the "historical" part it's based in "Fire and Blood" event called "Dance of Dragons". I'm in my "House of the dragon" phase, and I couldn't stop it. The idea came to me as a revelation, and more ideas come. I would really like to write a fic.
I hope you liked it!!! ❤️💎👑
@zukkaweek
[ID: Background as a cloudy day, or it seems. The dawn, start of a day. The focus of this picture are two figures: Zuko, wearing white mourning clothes. In his hair it's the Crown of the Fire Lord. His expression shows how conflicted he feels about being crowned in a moment like this. And, Sokka, is wearing Piandao's uniform, kneeling in front of Zuko, with respect and also conflicted. They two are in differents position, but feels the power of the moment and the anticipation of the inevitable war. END ID]

Where exactly does the idea that "everyone hated the Woodvilles and were glad that Richard got rid of them" come from? Because the Croyland Chronicler is quite clear on the fact that:
“The duke of Gloucester received the same high office of Protector of the kingdom ... The feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist being appointed as the day upon which the coronation of the king would take place without fail ... Still, however, a circumstance which caused the greatest doubts was the detention of the king’s relatives and servants in prison; besides the fact that the Protector did not, with a sufficient degree of considerateness, take measure for the preservation of the dignity and safety of the queen.”
This doesn't strike me as a council who approved of Richard’s actions against the Woodvilles and were happy that they were finally out of the way, it strikes me as a council that was extremely sympathetic to their plight and very worried and baffled about what was happening to them. We also know that the council would reject Richard's demand to execute Anthony Woodville and Richard Gray, which clearly indicates that they did not just sympathize with the Woodvilles but were actively defensive of them as well.
#Elizabeth Woodville#the Woodvilles#15th century#english history#anthony woodville#my post#it also seems like even though the council agreed to appoint Richard as Protector#they were quite clear on the fact that they wanted Edward V to be crowned as quickly as possible ('without fail')#which is what they had all wanted directly after Edward IV's death as well#imo that DOES put a huge question mark on the popular idea that Edward IV supposedly appointed Richard 'Protector' on his deathbed#if Edward DID do that (and it isn't what he wanted in his 1475 will even though his heir was only 4 years old at the time)#why would his council randomly reject it in favor of crowning Edward V directly?#the Woodvilles and Richard were on very good terms throughout Edward's reign and Richard was by all accounts loyal and highly-regarded#so there's no reason to NOT give him the position. Unless ofc they were following Edward's will which didn't want a Protector for his son#which Rosemary Horrox also believes (see Richard III: A Study of Service)#and that's not even mentioning the contradictions with the Croyland Chronicle and Mancini regarding Edward's will + the council#Mancini says Edward IV named Richard Protector/Croyland mentions nothing of the sort but instead emphasizes Edward's executors#Mancini says the council were divided on whether to name Richard Protector or have a council / Croyland doesn't mention anything#like this but instead emphasizes that the council were 'all' united in the desire to see Edward V crowned as quickly as possible#etc

Illumi Zoldyck, The One True Heir
I'm feeling better enough that the illumi brain rot is settling back in (as it should) so therefore i'm going to talk about my personal head canon about the one true heir of the Zoldyck Family.
Let's begin!
Illumi may not be the current heir to the Zoldyck Family, but in his eyes he is the one true heir. We all know how he vies for that role, to control killua, control the heir, and therefore be the one singlehandedly in charge. Which is the exact same thing Silva wants, but pretends to be the cool dad and yet has zero qualms with his children abusing, using, and hating on each other! In his life, Illumi was definitely molded like Killua to be the future head of the family and probably each Zoldyck child was molded, in some way, to become the head of the family if the situation ever called for them to take up the mantle. But I think Illumi isn't the heir is because Silva doesn't trust him and can't control him. And he's a little more evil than what's expected of an assassin (love him for that honestly. Silva must accept the monster he created. Silva must deal with the consequences of his own actions.)
That and the relationship between Silva and Illumi is probably very botched. Like I said above, Silva doesn't trust Illumi but trust goes both ways because neither does Illumi trust Silva. Silva was a terrible dad and whatever mistakes he made with Illumi he tried to fix with the later kids, Killua specifically. No doubt Illumi knows it but tolerates Silva anyway for his own and everyone else's sake. My headcanon is that when one enters the room the other leaves just to keep peace in their own home, if the situation allows. If they're working together on a mission, they're profesisonal enough to cooperate, but if not, then nope.
Another factor, I think, is the honor or code of being an assassin has eroded through the generations. For example, in the chimera ant arc, Zeno stated that he never kills bystanders on the job and briefly lamented about that when he thought he killed Komugi. Where as the current generation as no problem killing bystanders. Illumi doesn't care and will use bystanders. Milluki doesn't care, collateral damage know? Kalluto doesn't care (his weakness may be to enjoy torturing his victims). Even though Killua doesn't want to be an assassin, he is decensitized to death and doesn't care when he does slice and dice a person up, like on the blimp in the hunter exam arc) Who can we blame for this? The person who taught them and stood silently by to let these 'bad' habits sink in and become permanent. SILVA.
I can see Silva accepting the unnecessary death toll his children rack up. Possibly even rationalizing it. Even Silva himself will kill a bystander if it is necessary, though not to the extreme as his children. Headcanon: To fulfill the end goal of their missions, he'll let needle men and explosions slide. Silva might even be lenient with Kalluto's affinity towards torture, since he himself collects knives from serial killers. Another headcanon I have is that Silva took a morbid interest in serial killers (totally different from professional assassins), their methods and truthfully sees more of himself (at least the younger him from years past) in Kalluto rather than Killua.
The bridge between Silva and Illumi has been burned, but they're still standing at the edge and shouting at eachother from both sides. Toxic be as toxic does.

Thor knowing that their family is terrible and hurt them both but still asking Loki to return to it because it's what they have
#like you think Thor doesn't know he's hurt Loki?#you think he doesn't know that their parents did?#Thor refuses to let their family go because his role is what gives him worth the same way as it did for Loki#it's harder for him to let it go because it's a decision he would have to consciously make#and things are better for him as a prince of Asgard than they ever were for Loki (he has Odin's favour. is the heir/son by blood. is liked.#Thor has a lot more to lose than Loki did#Loki didn't have to refuse the family because he found out he was lied to and the decision was made for him#he wasn't liked and didn't have Odin's favour or a special weapon or friends or an official role to grow into#Frigga can say she's his mother and Odin can claim whatever he wants but it's just a reminder of what he no longer has#Loki relatively had a lot less to lose on Asgard but it made up the entirety of what Loki had because it separated him from. everything.#he let go on the Bifrost because there was quite literally nothing left for him there or that he wanted and could have#when Loki got cut off he didn't have any guarantee that his brother would side with him and... Thor probably wouldn't have#but if THOR decides to leave their home behind after Loki's death he would have been siding with Loki and would've been the one cutting awa#Thor has a choice in staying a family because he can suck it up to Odin and Frigga and is unable to comprehend that Loki doesn't have that#from Thor's perspective Loki is the one who is rejecting their home by not playing nice and returning#Loki's the one who will be rejecting their home if he faces consequences for attacking Midgard or sits in a cell for his whole life#because Thor thinks Loki can just make the same decision he does by simply staying loyal to Asgard and keeping complaints to himself#that's the way the family worked before anyway so Loki not *wanting* to go back to that is a betrayal. and for what?#from Thor's point of view Loki is stubbornly refusing to return to Asgard and gain everything he lost#he doesn't understand that the only thing Loki was given a choice in losing was his brother and that he never reached a decision about it#Loki betrays Thor and hopes he dies before any judgement is passed but calls him brother and hopes Thor gets the throne. like. what a mess.#Loki works with Frigga and Thor against what Odin/Asgard has decreed until you bring up that they're a family where he shuts down#if Thor works against Odin/Asgard but doesn't feel the need to separate that from the fact they're family so he doesn't#he doesn't see that Loki is incapable of doing the same because it's Odin/Asgard that already rejected/betrayed *him*#there was never enough on Asgard for Loki to want to return or seek forgiveness for when he was the one hurt/who lost it all#he cares for Frigga and Odin regardless of them not being his parents and cares for Thor because there's really nothing else for him#Thor didn't reject him and he didn't lie to him about his race/lineage but telling him to come home like he still has that is cruel#because Loki thinks that Thor knows there's nothing he has on Asgard and Thor thinks Loki's side doesn't need to be considered#family hurts and lies and betrays and judges you and Thor's accepted it because feelings don't matter when family is what it is#tldr; bold to assume that Thor's got any better idea of what love or healthy relationship is meant to look like than Loki

Mark Antony (Portrayed by Jassuy Chop Suey) reading Julius Caesar's last will and testament, only to be shocked to learn that they were not chosen as Caesar's primary heir.
The contents of Julius Caesar's last will and testament shocked those who opened it. In it Caesar wanted:
1. Every adult male citizen to recieve the equivalent of three months wages - to be taken from his own personal wealth.
2. To give to the Roman people one of his estates and have it converted into a public park.
3. 75% of Caesar's remaining wealth was to go to Octavian, who was to be Caesar's primary heir. The remaining 25% would go to Octavian's cousins.
4. Mark Antony and Decimus (One of those involved in Caesar's assassination) would be secondary heirs.
5. Caesar shall adopt Octavian as his son, thus entitling the latter to use the powerful and prestigous name of Caesar.

They did Bertrand and Olivia so dirty in TRF with the “The only person outside this room I trust is our daughter” line.
Bertrand had his history of shady shit (selling pics of the MC and Liam to the tabloids to make a quick buck) but damn if he didn’t stick his neck out for us when his father was about to usurp the throne. He played the long con by pretending to be completely unwaveringly loyal to his father, and the whole time, he was secretly stashing supplies and luggage away to help the MC, her spouse, and their child to escape, even if it meant his ass was on the line, which it very well would have been. And considering he had a wife and son of his own to look after? That was a BIIIIIIIIIG risk that he absolutely did not have to take to help the MC.
And Olivia…fuck, man. Olivia started out jealous and bitter and petty and rude. But then she gradually became a better person and helped the MC investigate the conspiracy against her in book two of TRR. In book three, she invited the MC down to her family vault to uncover her family’s deepest, darkest secrets to prove her loyalty. She refused to cooperate with Anton Severus and her aunt even though it would make her queen. And in TRH, she goes even further. She risks her life several times going on dangerous missions to help MC, her spouse, and Cordonia as a whole. Godfrey points a gun at her face at one point. Hell, she even gets kidnapped and held captive in a shady gambling den trying to help foil Barthelemy’s plot. Olivia busted ass to prove her loyalty and help her friends because that’s just the sort of person she was when it came down to it.
And yet…”The only person outside this room I trust is our daughter”.
Huh.

@megareader93-aka-composcreator sent: "Drunk Lust 3B: Considering their lines of work, it was natural for Captain Avantika and Thundove Liadon to meet up and discuss business. The good captain had the means to smuggle items of interest to the Lunar Rorts. But now the rod them expected to be attracted to the other to the point of fucking within her Captain quarters on her own ship."
Drunk on Lust: 3B
This was just supposed to be a business relationship. Nothing more, nothing less—Avantika had gotten herself caught up in the messiness of mixing business with pleasure far too many times, and she was not about to mix them up again now. Certainly not when the payout of such a business venture would leave her rich and relaxed for the rest of her days.
She would not let herself get mixed up, no matter how sweet, or charming...or handsome...or...or...
Avantika moaned as she lay back on her large and opulent captains quarters bed, her body sinking into the plush softness of her blankets and pillows. Her body was shiny with sweat, glistening in the low candle light as she gasped and panted, catching her breath. Her breasts rose and fell, steady and slow like the rocking of the ship under her, and glazed with a fresh load from her new lover.
"Need a minute, darling~?" the handsome high elf asked, hand still resting on his throbbing cock after glazing her figure with his hot, thick load. His gaze raked over her, soaking in the beautiful sight of her erotic figure laid out before him.
Avantika shuddered and moaned, biting her lip as she stared back up at the dark-haired man. Her eyes lingered on his, seeing the desire and adoration in his azure irises, and she let a smirk spread across her lips. "Not at all, my love~"
Suddenly, her legs snapped tight around Thundove's waist, and before the young rogue could catch his bearings, the gorgeous half-elven pirate had flipped them on her bed, pinning the young man beneath her and holding his wrists over his head. "But now it's my turn~" she purred, smirking down at him as her folds teasingly brushed against his tip.
Thundove groaned at being pinned, but he shared a smirk, and nodded. Avantika chuckled at his silent acceptance, and slowly dropped her lips, a low and lustful moan falling from her lips as she steadily, slowly, rolled and rode his length up and down.
Mixing business with pleasure had never gone well for avantika, but maybe...maybe...this once it would...

I’m not sure how big a presence Viago (and Teia, since they seem to come as a set) will be in the next game but I kinda hope we see him with the Antivan royals, especially Fulgeno’s other children.
Because as an assassin talented and ambitious enough to rise to one of the highest ranks in the Crows, who is known for his knowledge and skill with poisons, I bet Viago makes his legitimate half siblings very, very nervous.

having jas (my tes oc who is nerevar's and voryn's daughter) be a direct rival of almalexia is funny bc they both Hate each other and want to throttle one another but they can't. they need to uphold their public image so the only battles they fight are political debates and throwing shade at one another. if they ever get locked in a room together, at least one of them will end up Dead
#the girlbosses are fighting#ayem should be like jas' step-aunt or something like that 😭 but instead they end up being two very intense and ambitious women#who would do Anything to achieve their goals (in jas' case) or to maintain their image and power (in ayem's case)#id be scared to put them in a room together 😭 thankfully they both have enough self control to not jump at each other's throats in public#jas uses her heritage (being nerevar's daughter) against almalexia at any chance she gets#she will never miss an opportunity to let the good people of morrowind know that She Is Nerevar's Heir and morrowind's Rightful Ruler#she puts on such a grand and benevolent image just to gain the support of the dunmer people#but in reality she just wants revenge for her House and for her PARENTS#she was a child when nerevar and voryn were killed . goodness knows she feels she has every right to go berserk on the tribunal#jas is a fun character bc she doesn't serve Anyone but herself. she doesnt even serve azura though azura tried to gain jas' loyalty#in the same way she had nerevar's undying loyalty and servitude#but jas isn't nerevar. she's much more rebellious and she tries to hold the reins of fate in her own hands#she won't accept the nerevarine prophecy and she won't accept the tribunal going unpunished and she wont accept her House being erased#she is so so ambitious. and so so strong. and so very unforgiving#she's not evil. she's just a firestorm of a woman who wants justice. she wants the tribunal to admit what theyve done. publicly#she knows that if she can expose the tribunal she Will gain the trust & support of the dunmer people & she Will get the position she seeks#whether or not she succeeds remains to be seen........ i believe in her. but where's the fun in a story with a perfect ending?#her story will have a bloody end thats for sure. but it wont be her own blood. it'll be the blood of everyone loyal to her#who have sacrificed themselves for jas' cause#jas is JUST like nerevar but worse. much worse#and i love her#shes amazing and powerful and knows how to manipulate politics sooo well 💞💞💞#i luv her
