#Molly's Life Happenings

[dent-de-leon]

can you believe Molly gave Yasha a silk flower in the episode right before he was torn away away from the Nein? That he told her, “Got it for you, in case we lived.” How he genuinely thought he wouldn’t last long enough to give it to her, that he thought he’d just die before he had the chance—

He apologizes, because it isn’t like all the other flowers. Because it’s not the same and it won’t keep well. It didn’t grow, didn’t live—it isn’t real.

And it’s a gift from Molly. A tiefling who wasn’t really born, but clawed his way out of a grave. Already doomed from the start. Empty and alone. Lucien calls him a forgotten fragment, a mistake. “A part of a soul—or is it a whole one? If souls could grow from but a piece…” Mollymauk Tealeaf isn’t supposed to be real or whole. But he’s so full of dazzling color and light all the same, so much joy and love in his once dead heart.

And even though that flower was never alive, it’s still so beautiful in Yasha’s eyes. She still tells him that, out of all her collection, this one is very special. This silk flower, lovely and colorful—it isn’t real, but it warms her heart all the same.

Out of all her flowers, it’s the only one that will never die.

And over a hundred episodes later, Molly opens his eyes for the first time in the longest time—

#started thinking about this again after seeing that lovely circus kids art and just-- #the way molly got to give yasha one last gift before he was back in the grave again. how he was terrified of something happening to him #before he had the chance to give it to her #how well it represents him #how molly is color and life to yasha and how the little festival flower just so very fitting--

i know the prides have no place for non-binary cats, but what about binary trans cats? would a trans molly be able to have kittens with a molly mate within her pride and potentially one day become a matron or would she be expected to go with the coalitions? would a trans tom be able to himself go off with the coalitions? what would happen if he ended up having kittens with one of the other coalition toms?

This gets explored in COEV! I'll give you some deets, but binary transness doesn't really have a precedent, so each cat sort of ends up with a different deal depending. The fact that highlights this the most is the disparity in how Teasel (p. Robinwing), who is a trans molly, and Asphodel, who is a trans tom, are treated in Goldspring

Teasel originally wanted to join the prides because of her identity. As an outsider, she was under the impression that the matriarchal society of the prides would love the idea of a "tom who wants to be a molly"

Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, including her own misconceptions, Teasel doesn't get the treatment she wants. In some ways, she's treated like a molly. She's allowed to stay, most cats will refer to her as a molly, but the pride won't let her forget some glaring facts: that she's an outsider (ie "doesn't understand our culture/is making a mockery of it"), she can't have kittens like the other mollies, and as a whole isn't an easy cat to get along with

Asphodel, on the other hand, was raised by a mother and a father (Honeysuckle and Ursinia) and was very much imparted with an ideal of tomhood which Ursinia represented to him, but which isn't the typical ideal of tomhood among the prides, which proves challenging.

He's spent a lot of time exploring and proving his identity. He did go off with the coalitions for a year (your first year with the coalitions is basically the coming of age, you're not a full grown tom until you've done it) but it wasn't what he wanted! He wanted to be like Ursinia, but how would he get that within the laws and lifestyle of the pride?

The interesting part is when Asphodel came back (earlier than the rest of the coalitions) pregnant with his daughters. He was ushered into the nursery where Honeysuckle and his friend at the time, Calendula (p. goldenflower) helped him through the birth

Without getting into the emotional details, the three of them conspired to solidify Asphodel's identity and position in the pride by announcing that Calendula has had her first litter with Asphodel as her mate, a situationship meant to reflect Honeysuckle and Ursinia's relationship

It was a confusing time for Goldspring, but Honeysuckle and Calendula didn't leave room for questioning or protest, and when Cypress and the other matrons made the decision to go along with it, Asphodel's identity was silently accepted by the rest of the pride in a sort of "don't ask, don't tell" deal. Goldspring have their own thoughts on Asphodel, but enough of the most respected cats in the pride accepted it without question that the ordeal doesn't get discussed in public

So Asphodel gets to be a father, and sort of a tom, but the confusion from the rest of the pride make this a clumsy situation at best

#right now a trans molly would not be able to become matron and i don't think it's ever happened in the prides #but it's a question i do wanna explore at some point #as the prides are forced to confront their rigid way of life lol #coev: setting #worldbuilding #coev: asphodel #coev: teasel

I was trying to write something about LSD but it's been so long since I've dropped acid that even though I remember what it's like I feel like I could describe the effects of every single other drug on the planet more accurately. I could write dissertations on what ket feels like even though it's been a few years too. I've never done heroin in my life and never will but I still feel like I could write about what it's like just based on what people have told me

#like it feels like trying to describe a fever dream i had 10 years ago #also every person ive ever talked to who has tried heroin (thats like 2 or 3) is incredibly poetic and descriptive about it #i think w acid my memories are just confused. im like do i remember that? and nothing is very solid #ok same thing happens with ket but i did so much ket at one period in my life that we weree like bosom friends #exposing myself as an ex druggie on main #im not that wild! i did molly this weekend but that was like the second time this year #🫠🫠🫠

ur telling me will killed that lithuanian guy and turned him into a fucking butterfly just to be like "yeah nvm actually" and then get married and have a child?????????????

#my brain is confused #will can we talk #also like #did he just not go to therapy after hanni got put away #like he didn't get a normal therapist. molly didn't advocate for him to do that? jack didn't? #i'm so confused. like. he #what happened #he literally. let hannibal try to cut his head open and then said i won't miss u #sir ur delusional #he really missed his dogs ig #did he get fired from the fbi 4 that shit too. like will gets interrogated by jack and then jack lets him go? #no he should've been put in the hospital #ig maybe he did like #maybe he got treatment. got a regular job. met molly. saw the life he always imagined. actually fell in love w that life and molly and wally #like they gave will what hannibal couldn't. a child. normalcy. #and then jack came in and wrecked him again. and will realized no amount of treatment or normal therapy or a wife and kid could change- #-who he left in hannibal's arms when he got carried through the snow. #he did kill for hannibal. he did fight it. tried to fix it but he realized he couldn't escape or lie to himself #he asked bedelia. is hannibal in love with me. bc he realized that's the feeling behind all the pain. that he wanted hannibal's love again #she said yes. and he couldn't pretend anymore #he'd rather kill with hannibal one last time. he'd rather die in the ocean waves in hannibal's arms than bury his past and forget hannibal #bc he could never forget hannibal #he lied to himself and turned the left over feelings of love and resentment turn into anger and die before those feelings surfaced #but he couldn't do it anymore #bc he needed hannibal. bc hannibal was right. they had blurred together. and hannibal still lived in will #in the way he cared for others and cooked molly dinner and bought wine and let his dogs and tucked wally in #and he couldn't let hannibal live within him anymore. he needed hannibal to consume him. in every way #hey guys. what was my original point #.... ok gn ig #hannibal

aini molly and usiuii were originally gun-slinging angels who lived in this world with a bunch of mythical beings. i have a whole doc of their shit and everything. but alas..i fell down a rabbit hole

#ummm aini was an angel-demon hybrid #molly was an hybrid of some goddess i think #Usiuii was a killer android #theyre in a group of 6 #but it’s actually a slice of life that happens to have every single character be overpowered in some way. #but then i saw ososan and starting thinking (yeah that would be funny) 4 months later .

The way Gerri says “I am good at my job”… that’s the litany every high powered woman says in the mirror to get through the day and she had to repeat it to this genuflecting asshole.

#mollie watches succession #my spine was a slab of concrete that whole episode #SO MUCH IS HAPPENING #succession spoilers #those tags are from Gerri’s POV btw I love Roman he’s an asshole but in another life he would have had a few days #after his dad died where being an asshole is ok #giving a grieving man a gun is never a good choice

in roadkill (2x16), we're making a return to sam being characterized as the "empathetic, good at handling people person," and dean being the "rough around the edges, 'regular' people get in the way" person... interesting the different approaches the writers have with the boys episode to episode, and in what situations each of their very different sets of people skills shine.

#supernatural #dean winchester #spnrewatch #sam winchester #early seasons #2x16 #sam tends to connect to people with a thread of darkness in them or an unavoidable destiny #in this episode that's empathizing with greeley because 'he was a good person' but 'something happened to him' #and empathizing with molly because she's a person trapped in an impossible situation #dean tends to connect with people who've been mistreated and often specifically children #i imagine somewhat due to the older brother instinct but also more compellingly to me its the desire to save someone from the life he lived #dean also reaches for toxic connections like w/ gordon. he feels comfort and safety in the abuse/praise cycle. thrashed around emotionally #then theres sams priority being kindness vs. deans priority being protection #sam doesn't care if the pursuit of kindness is dangerous #and dean doesnt care if the pursuit of protecting someone makes him do things that are Unkind #hmm... I will think about this some more

laying on the floor. jester is so young. it's all a coming of age story for her she's so young and they were all tired and scared at the end but she's so young and she stepped into that circle and asked her question and had years taken from her. she didn't know. ough

#deucey is in his 100s and then the others are all in the 23-35 zone except for jester who is. maybe 21 #I feel like there's a gap between jester/beau and the rest of them tho veth is what 26? 27? #we Just Don't Know about yasha or molly #fjord never brings it up but I've always seen him as late 20s/early 30s given life experience and the way he holds himself #caleb is confirmed 32/33? but like. he has zee severe disadvantage of missing 11 whole entire years #I think sooo much abt what they've all been thru and how prepared/unprepared they were for everything #caleb cannot catch a fucking break. he hasnt had the chance to exist without Fear literally since he was like 14 maybe #jessie is so young.. she was 20/21 and then she was 25/26 same age as veth #it's not a lot it could've been worse but I keep thinking abt the discussion abt tief lifespans and everyone assuring her that she's still #got plenty of time left. if that had happened literally anyone else it would've been no biggie except maybe for caleb #beau would have been lowkey thrilled I think. so much of her story is abt having agency and being older would help her with that #but jester is young and that's integral to her character she's figuring things out and exploring the world #I feel like I'm Dying #deucey would have been so chill about it #fjord and yasha would've shrugged it off #veth probably would have freaked out and then she would have made cougar/milf jokes for the rest of the campaign #caleb absolutely would have been fucked up about it #jessie and caleb they're so young. like caleb's 32 but he's never had a really chance to just live. and jester's just. so young #I'm losing my mind #jdkfjfkfkf if essek had been with them they literally wouldn't have been able to figure out what happened #this man and his 700 yr lifespan he would've been like eh. I'm a dead man walking anyway #cue 'awwww essek'

[captainkingsley]

ok i’m like 3k into this au fic, it’s turning out much more elaborate than i thought but it’s still fun, have a little preview of the vibe tm

#basically caleb has no idea lucien and molly are the same person #he's lucien's advisor / magic help #along with astrid and eadwulf being elric and aldreda's #jester tells caleb about a little masquerade party that happens monthly in the gentleman's lair #and caleb goes but he's clueless to the facts that #a. lucien frequents it under a different name and androgynous clothing #and b. it's run by jester's parents so it's more than just a fun little dance #it's a criminal organization. it's a brothel. it's where shady deals get made and where lucien goes to get away from expectations #for the most part most people there go solely for the dancing and the drinking but #caleb's basically stepping into a lifestyle he has no idea about #while molly / lucien is an expert and navigating the lifestyle #and acting and putting on different faces for different aspects of his life #he catches on quick that bren = caleb #and will proceed to tease him about it and drive caleb up a wall with panic of 'does lucien know my secret pastime???'

sry to lotr oc post on main BUT tonight im feeling emotional abt vórimë changing her epessë so excuse me gotta

#like her first one means 'shelter/shield-maker' and for so long shes so proud of that? #proud to be that to her lady. to her people. to always be the defender; never the aggressor. #she's proud that her work and sense of duty and protection have been noted to the point that it's what she's KNOWN for #but then like. thranduil starts to call her 'lómefindë' (night-haired) and it SHOULD annoy her. shes worked hard to be this great defender #but like. it doesnt? this happens around the time that (after like 2000 years) her duty is finally starting to chafe on her. shes tired. #she wants to be happy and watch things grow. and he just!!! takes that weight off of her. removes that heavy helm from her head. #the war is over and she's been a warrior her whole life. and she doesnt know what else to be. but thranduil takes that and he just. #tells her that she can be something else. there's a place for her in peacetime. the night is beautiful and so is she. #this could b more coherent im sorry im LITERALLY GOING INSANE. #ch: vórimë #mollie shut up

[hidden-highlands]

i have so many emotions, all of the time, that it feels Overwhelming, and i bottle them up so i never have to deal with being Overwhelmed only to be even more overwhelmed when i'm finally forced to feel them. tonight i think i let myself feel them without being Overwhelmed. and it was nice :')

#i think this is one of those posts where the REAL post is in the tags. but here goes #tonight i drank enough rum and coke to have drunk too much without it being Too Much #we haphazardly sang miscellaneous songs in hamish's room and made a bonfire on our front porch #mat tried to teach me how to solve a rubiks cube #and we experienced a touch of Casual intimacy without doing our usual hesitant song and dance about it. and i liked it a lot. #molly and i spent hours having a dmc around the bonfire and it was nice getting to connect #and i talked about how i'm still learning to grieve the part of me whose life was never defined by cancer #because she -- because //i// -- got so sick so young that she never really got to exist #and molly hugged me and we cried and then we belted out the lyrics to the song we were listening to #and now i'm lying in bed and my blanket still smells of woodsmoke and i'm thinking about how nice it is to Exist #and how happy i am to be here and how happy i am to be HERE #in this flat with these people where there is always something going on and you never quite know what's going to happen next #and where i feel confident enough to sing badly and to talk about my silly little 300 000-word xenoblade fanfic and not feel judged for it #because we're all out here being the messiest most genuine vulnerable versions of ourselves #and meeting each other where we are and trying to understand where exactly we're all coming from #and it feels like coming home. #i don't know where i was going with this. just that i had Thoughts and Feelings that i wanted to express #kiwi speaks #personal
