The Tortured Poets Department Prologue
At this hearing I stand before my fellow members of the Tortured Poets Department With a summary of my findings A debrief, a detailed rewinding For the purpose of warning For the sake of reminding
As you might all unfortunately recall I had been struck by a case of a restricted humanity Which explains my plea here today of temporary i n s a n i t y
You see, the pendulum swings Oh, the chaos it brings Leads the caged beast to do the most curious things
Lovers spent years denying what's ill fated Resentment rotting away galaxies we created
Stars placed and glued meticulously by hand next to the ceiling fan
Tried wishing on comets. Tried dimming the shine. Tried to orbit his planet. Some stars never align.
And in one conversation, I tore down the whole sky.
Spring sprung forth with dazzling freedom hues Then a crash from the skylight bursting through Something old, someone hallowed, who told me he could be brand new
And so I was out of the oven and into the microwave Out of the slammer and into a tidal wave How gallant to save the empress from her gilded tower Swinging a sword he could barely lift But loneliness struck at that fateful hour Low hanging fruit on his wine stained lips
He never even scratched the surface of me.
None of them did.
"In summation, it was not a love affair!" I screamed while bringing my fists to my coffee ringed desk It was a mutual manic phase. It was self harm. It was house and then cardiac arrest.
A smirk creeps onto this poet's face Because it's the worst men that I write best.
And so I enter into evidence My tarnished coat of arms My muses, acquired like bruises My talismans and charms The tick, tick, tick of love bombs My veins of pitch black ink
All’s fair in love and poetry
Sincerely, The Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department

In Summation by Taylor Swift
At this hearing
I stand before my fellow members of the Tortured Poets Department
With a summary of my findings
A debrief, a detailed rewinding
For the purpose of warning
For the sake of reminding
As you might all unfortunately recall
I had been struck with a case of a restricted humanity
Which explains my plea here today of temporary insanity
You see, the pendulum swings
Oh, the chaos it brings
Leads the caged beast to do the most curious things
Lovers spend years denying what's ill fated
Resentment rotting away galaxies we created
Stars placed and glued meticulously by hand next to the ceiling fan
Tried wishing on comets.
Tried dimming the shine.
Tried to orbit his planet.
Some stars never align.
And in one conversation, I tore down the whole sky
Spring sprung forth with dazzling freedom hues Then a crash from the skylight
Bursting through
Something old, someone hallowed, who told me he could be brand new
And so I was out of the oven
And into the microwave
Out of the slammer and into a tidal wave
How gallant to save the empress from her gilded tower
Swinging a sword he could barely lift
But loneliness struck at that fateful hour
Low hanging fruit on his wine stained lips
He never even scratched the surface of me.
None of them did.
“In summation, it was not a love affair!”
I screamed while bringing my fists to my coffee ringed desk It was a mutual manic phase.
It was self harm.
It was house and then cardiac arrest.
A smirk creeps onto this poet's face
Because it's the worst men that I write best.
And so l enter into evidence
My tarnished coat of arms
My muses, acquired like bruises
My talismans and charms
The tick, tick, tick of love bombs
My veins of pitch black ink All's fair in love and poetry
Sincerely,
The Chairman
of The Tortured Poets Department

Philza's ultimate: Envoy of the Empress. By activating his blaze charm, Phil becomes a temporary vessel for the Blaze Empress.
Tumblr media
When Envoy of the Empress is active, Phil gains resistance to fire damage, a bonus to all attacks, and whenever one of Phil's attacks hits, there is a chance the target is ignited and dealt continuous damage.
Tumblr media
Philza can forgo one of his attacks to increase his defense for a short time.
Tumblr media
Blaze Lance allows Philza to make a ranged attack that deals a medium amount of fire damage and travels in a straight line. The lance can pass through and damage multiple enemies on its way to its target.
Tumblr media
Eruption is a heavy attack that deals a large amount of fire damage in an arc, and leaves a lingering burning effect that damages those trapped inside it.
There we have it! The first variation of Phil's ultimate move. The next one will get posted tomorrow :D

I may never get over the parallels between Emily Kaldwin and the Outsider in the Dishonored series, specifically the parallels created/revealed by Daud's games (The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches) and Billie Lurk's game (Death of the Outsider). (Spoilers for the entire series if you haven't played the main games and companion games.)
The Outsider claims at one point that he doesn't play favorites. I think he's a fucking liar. Because in The Knife of Dunwall, he sets the story off by giving Daud a name, Delilah. He did not have to do that, just as he didn't have to give his Mark to any of the people he gave it to. He is constantly putting his hand on the scales.
Moving simultaneously to the events of Dishonored, Delilah was going to possess Emily and NO ONE saw her coming. She had everything ready in secret. She was going to win.
(Side note: I think Delilah originally developed this plan because she wanted to possess Jessamine, but her half-sister's death at Daud's hands caused Delilah to scrap whatever painting she'd originally been working on. And no one would have foreseen THAT coming either. Nightmare scenario AU for Corvo Attano.)
Corvo, Emily, and the conspirators of Dishonored didn't even know that Delilah Copperspoon existed. A guilt-stricken Daud sliding in at the last moment is the ONLY reason that Delilah didn't succeed in taking over Dunwall in Dishonored instead of Dishonored 2. And Daud only caught the impending murder of a second Empress because the Outsider gave Delilah's name to him directly.
The Outsider's favor came down on the side of Corvo and Daud, rather than Delilah, even before Delilah started doing weird shit to the Void and he took offense. Or rather: the Outsider came down on Emily's side, even before potentially Marking her. And... why?
In Death of the Outsider, it is revealed to Billie Lurk that the Outsider used to be an ordinary person. He is not infallible. He is not objective. He knows a lot, but he's probably not actually fully omniscient. An ancient cult took an ordinary young man, slit his throat, and turned him into a god against his will. And the theming surrounding eyes is not in the least bit subtle.
The vibe that I personally got while playing Death of the Outsider (interpreting only from the canon of the games, rather than any additional material) is that the Eyeless cult greedily looked upon the incredible but unpredictable power of the Void, then they made a human sacrifice and gave it a face, so that they could look upon the new avatar of its power without going insane. (At least, without going insane nearly so quickly.) They turned a person into a focus, a lens, in the hope that they could use him like a corpse puppet for their own ambitions and become powerful through him.
But the Outsider has never cooperated. Personally, I don't think that he has much power of his own, honestly, at least by what he's shown doing in the games. I think that he can only really act as a focusing lens, a pathway, through which other people can touch and use the Void. All he can really do is offer people the Mark, the ability to use him, and then watch them go. (The Heart, he manipulated Piero Joplin to make, I think. I don't know where he got the Time Piece, but I assume it was made in a similar way, taking advantage of the Crack In The Slab that Delilah made. When he "took" Billie's eye and arm in Death of the Outsider, it was only because he opened a connection to the Void in Billie Lurk that was already there.)
I think he can probably use this to make people go insane, obliterating their minds by opening the lens to the Void too far, but... I think there's a vulnerability to him making connections, temporary or permanent ones. It can be dangerous for him. In Dishonored 2, when Delilah is doing whatever she's doing with the Void, the Outsider says, "Delilah is a part of me now. And I don't like it." Delilah appears to use her own Mark to reach out to Corvo or Emily's Mark, so that she can talk to them in the Void, and she's probably doing it by reaching through the Outsider somehow.
I don't think that the Outsider can control what powers his Marked get from the Void or how deeply they reach into it (thank you, game mechanics of giving different characters different powers), which is possibly what he meant when he said that he didn't play favorites. Once he gives them access to the lens into the Void, I don't think that he can take it away or control it, only give his Marked the cold shoulder and stop talking to them. (His role in Dishonored is definitely to give you cool powers and then step back so that you can do your thing.) The game mechanic of collecting runes to increase powers suggests that it's up to the Marked to improve their powers and practice them. (See... everything with Granny Rags.)
The Outsider in Dishonored 2 struck me as... kind of helpless in some ways, confirmed by Death of the Outsider. When Billie Lurk finally finds his body in the Void, there's no fight. He can't do anything to defend himself. (I don't think he wants to defend himself.)
Somewhere in The Brigmore Witches, the Outsider says something about Delilah looking out through Emily's eyes. Emily is in some ways the avatar of Dunwall. She's the focus point of imperial power, the figure supporting the mythology of royal right and privilege, the legal means through which people can seize social, military, economic, etc. control. The Royal Spymaster tried to use Emily. The conspirators tried to use her too. And Delilah tried to trap her own niece in (I think I'm paraphrasing something else that the Outsider says) an invisible prison, screaming inside her own head while someone else takes control, to take this power for herself.
Delilah tries to do to a little girl what the Eyeless cult tried to do to the Outsider. And I think the Outsider went, "Hm, don't like that."
So, the Outsider gives a would-be Empress's name to the man who just killed the last one and is desperate for a release from guilt, even if that means covering up blood with more blood. He gives Delilah's name to DAUD, an assassin, the fucking Knife of Dunwall.
(Or maybe the Outsider could foresee the chaotic wreck that Delilah was going to make of Dunwall, when it turns out that her schemes don't "fix" everything for her like her fantasies, like she does in Dishonored 2. And the Outsider decided that Delilah's future was just too boring to let happen. That's also possible.)
And sure, Delilah comes back years later in Dishonored 2, more powerful than ever, semi-immortal, pushing back against the Outsider within the Void itself, and no one saw her coming this time either. Possibly not even the Outsider. (When the Outsider makes fun of Corvo for not seeing Delilah coming, for losing another Empress, for not stopping to talk to Daud so that Daud could warn Corvo about her, it can read as a genuine admonishment of sorts. I think the Outsider is honestly frustrated.) But if the Outsider hadn't decided to play favorites in the background of Dishonored, if he hadn't decided to set Daud on her, then Delilah would have won before anyone even knew that she was playing the game.

hey fannyy! how are you doing? how would you describe bts and their fs’ dynamic? how they are when they’re not agreeing with each or not seeing eye to eye? Or when they have their bickering on??
How Will BTS And Their FS Act During Their Fights?
Sorry if the reading isn't how you wished it to be, I might haven't understood the question well?..So I'll ask how will they act when they fight🩷
And I'm doing good😊🩷
Also I won't describe their dynamic now, will only do the reading🩷
Namjoon
6 of Wands, 5 of Swords, 3 of Wands.
Namjoon will try to be the right one at all costs, also he will try very hard to not to make his FS feel bad or sad, they are the type to make up quickly after a fight(I mean reconcile). He would mantain his calmness during their fights. He really hate it when him and his fs are fighting, but he tries to be the right one at all costs, and he hate it when his fs say something wrong about him, like something he didn't do but she's saying he did it.
Namjoon's FS
10 of Cups, The Star, 7 of Cups.
She tries to stay calm all the time during a fight, she may say some lies about Namjoon? Things he didn't do..But she's saying he did😅
She may be a bit jealous, their fights might be mostly because of jealousy I guess.
She tries to stay calm and hopes the fight ends soon.
She may get a bit delusional after their fights, I mean, she will start to think that they shouldn't be together, but then she will realize that this is temporary (just an example of the delusional thoughts she wll have)
Seokjin
10 of Wands, The Strength, Queen of Wands.
He will definitely feel overwhelmed and bad when he fights with his fs, he will try to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. Also he will use his inner strength to stay calm and he will let his FS talk more because he doesn't want any more fights, even if his FS is wrong, he will act as if she is right and will try to calm her down to make her realize that she's going too hard on him. He will feel really sad when he have fights with his fs. He will try his best to not to disagree with his fs.
Seokjin's FS
The Wheel Of Fortune, 2 of Pentacles.
After their fights, she may have ups and down in her acts, I mean, at one time she will act really calm and caring with Jin, but at other time she will remember their fights and get really stressed and cold with him. During the fights, she might try to stay calm as well, and to not to stress to much, she tries to make things get better and to end the fights.
Yoongi
The Tower, 7 of Swords, 5 of Cups.
This is the saddest one until now I guess, each and every fight Yoongi will have with his fs will make him really scared(Scared of losing her, ending their relationship, etc), He might take his fs words very seriously, very much to his heart, or maybe he will be very harsh with his words as well. He will definitely feel very sad when him and his fs fights, he will be really scared of losing her and every fight of them will definitely bring his world down and make him really scared of losing his fs.
Yoongi's FS
The Empress, The Justice, 5 of Swords.
This person will definitely try to calm things down, they really don't like fights. She will try to keep things fair and she will listen to Yoongi's side too, she might be a bit harsh with her words too, and might take the things Yoongi says really seriously too, really to the heart.
After the fights, she will try to comfort Yoongi. She will try to make things better as soon as possible. Fighting with Yoongi may make her really sad.
Hoseok
6 of Wands, 8 of Cups.
Just like Namjoon, Hoseok will try to be the right one at all costs. Also Hoseok will try very hard to avoid fights with his fs. Hoseok may get away from her for a while, he won't see her until he feels better about their fight.
Hoseok's FS
5 of Swords, Knight of Swords, 5 of Pentacles.
She will definitely be the one who starts the fights, she would be very harsh to Hobi with her words. They would really stay away from each other for a moment. They wouldn't like to see each other, only after they get healed about the fights. Their fights may be mostly because of jealousy from the spouse's part.
Jimin
6 of Wands, 10 of Wands, The Death.
Jimin would try to be the right one in the fights too, he would mantain his calmness and try to maintain the spouse calm too.
He will feel very overwhelmed also, overwhelmed, sad and bad, they might stay away from each other as well, they might "break up" but then will reconcile.
Jimin's FS
King of Swords, 2 of Wands, King of Wands.
She will act too serious and may be harsh with her words towards Jimin, she's the type to talk about everything they've been through during fights. Also she will try to be the right one too all the time.
She will be very cold to Jimin after their fights.
She will use her brain more than her heart in fights, so she won't care much about her harsh words at the moment, only after the fight she will realize that she was too harsh to Jimin.
Taehyung
The Hermit, The Lovers, 8 of Wands.
Taehyung will spend time alone after fighting with his FS, he will try to heal by spending time alone and thinking about his decisions. He seems to really hate fighting with his fs. They won't talk much with each other after a fight. Their fights may be quick and they might stay away from each other as well for a moment. They won't fight too often because they really love each other. They reconcile too fast. They might end up making love after some of their fights, or just spending cute and good time alone with each other, like cuddling.
Taehyung's FS
5 of Swords, 7 of Swords, The Emperor.
She will tell really mean things to him, and probably make him feel down, sad and inferior to her, she will be really harsh with her words, even if the fight is too silly(I don't know if the word is correct, but in my language we say "bobo", "briga boba"), she will take things really to the heart also, she will want to be the right one even if she isn't. This one seems to be the toughest fs while fighting.
She may hit him I guess? Not abusively, Idk how to say this..
Jungkook
The High Priestess, Ace of Wands, 5 of Cups.
He will try to calm his fs down while they're fighting. Also he will feel very sad and scared of losing her because of their fights. He might try to resolve things with s3x?..It's just a might btw.
He will act calm also, and try to resolve things fast. He might tell some lies during fights?..Like, to help calm down his fs. He will also listen to her side of the story with an open mind.
Jungkook's FS
6 of Wands, Ace of Pentacles, 8 of Swords.
She will try to mantain her calmness and also try to be right and fair with her words and actions, they may really resolve things with s3x or doing other things that they as a couple like to do together(maybe cuddles). She may act as the victim during fights sometimes.
That's it, hope you enjoyed🩷
Please take it as entertainment only, do not take it too seriously and to the heart, and remember that fs tarot readings cannot be 100% accurate, thanks💜
The 6 of Wands came out so many times lol
Note: I had a really big pain while doing this readings, so I stopped for a moment and then continued, and now I'm going to post it, hope you enjoy and sorry if there is any orthographic error.
I'm so so sorry if the reading isn't how you wished it to be, I might not have understood the question well, sorry :(
Hope you enjoy it the same way💜
I love you all🩷

What do people see in your eyes?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PAID SERVICES
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⏜︵♡︵⏜︵୨୧︵⏜︵♡︵⏜
Pile 1
Cards: the seven of wands (reversed), the empress, the two of pentacles (reversed), the sun, the moon, the page of swords (reversed).
You seem to have very tired looking eyes, people see that you're a tired fighter in your eyes. People might assume that you're uninterested in them and other things in general. Your eyes look very defeated and sad. 'Falling in love' by cigarettes after sex started playing when shuffled. Your eyes possess a very calm and deep vibe intertwined with a weary appearance. You seem to be very in-tune with yourself, like, you know, when someone has just been out of or is still going through some sort of a conflicting period in their life but they seem to have faith in themselves and seem to be holding up really well. Your eyes reflect your softer side, some people might assume that you either have a really great relationship with your mother or it is the other way around or your eyes might resemble your mother's. For those of you who wear eye make-up, people might think that your eye makeup is really expensive, I feel like most of you however do not apply make-up, I'm getting people thinking that your eyes are your best feature (bare faced). Some of you might have assymetrical eyes and that seems to be your most attractive trait, some of you might have uneven eyelids (like one is a double eyelid while the other one is a monolid). Some of you have eyes that scream extreme of some sort, can be physically too, for example, really slanted eyes, really big irises, horizontally big eyes, etc. and if it's not physically, your eyes look tired to the point, it's obvious that you require rest or some of you look high at all times. People might believe that you really need to rest or something simply just based off your appearance. You might have a duality, when you smile, your eyes might smile with you or just brighten up, people believe you're open to new experiences and have good things going on for you when they see your eyes especially when you're interacting with people you are happy around. The sun and the moon came up in the same reading that too side by side. People think that you're uncertain or confused about most things in life right now and learning a lot. Your emotions might be visible in your eyes. People also think that you're hiding something because of the way you move your eyes, like the way you squint them, how quickly you change your eyes to look a certain way, the way you look at others and also the way you rest them. People think that you're an anxious person when they look into your eyes. Your eyes remind people of rivers, the way their water flows, how calm yet sad they appear to be, the depth they seem to possess though the ground is visible from above the surface. Whenever you're feeling indecisive, it's written on your face. You might squint your eyes a certain way when you're confused or listening to other people's opinions or ideas. Some believe that you might let other people's words affect the way you think or act.
Pile 2
Cards: the hanged man (reversed), the six of cups (reversed), the seven of wands (reversed), the ace of pentacles (reversed), the queen of wands (reversed), the seven of swords (reversed).

Your eyes make you look a bit close minded? However, it's funny because this card also means that you look like you go along with the crowd without personal insight. Your eyes might look a bit shallow, not gonna lie. People might assume that you lack vision and are only following trends of some sort right now. If this doesn't resonate with you please select another one. This might be a temporary energy. Your eyes reflect that you're overly affected by events from the past. People assume that you're not fully living in the present, you seem to be thinking about someone or something at all times. However, people are also seeing that you're learning how to take from the past and build for your future. Ahahaha, people might assume that you're in your player phase right now or you simply just don't have any interest in the things that you do or the people that you are around right now. People can see that you've been through a hard time in your eyes. People think that you have missed an opportunity of some sort whether that be romantic or career wise which has left you deeply sad. People also see that you have a hard time taking risks but right now you are just doing whatever you feel like doing. 'I love you so' started playing when shuffled, the line that stood out was "I just need someone in my life to give instructions" you seem to be in need of advice or just indecisive. You might have recently ghosted someone, got ghosted or ironically both. Socializing and connections seem to come easy to you. Even if you might be an introvert, you might have been someone who was mistaken as an extrovert or just had an above average social life before but now you seem to be extremely introverted and even kind of cold or people think that you should distance yourself from others right now since you aren't doing very well and you'll just end up hurting yourself and others. You might have sharp and suspicious looking eyes. People can see that you don't trust others easily and also that you perceive people enough to psycho analyse them. People might feel judged when they look into your eyes or might think that you're judging someone else. People also assume that you don't trust yourself and that's why you rely on others opinions to make decisions. People also get a playful vibe from you though, it's like kind of like you're very charming and fun to be around but you have a depth that others didn't expect from you.
Pile 3
Cards: the seven of swords, the hierophant, the five of pentacles (reversed), the knight of wands, the six of pentacles, the two of wands.
Aww, 'suck it and see' by Arctic Monkeys and 'can't take my eyes off you' by Kid Freud (I think it's a cover though) started playing one after another. Your eyes look like you are thinking that something or someone is not as they seem to be. You might be the type to psychoanalyze people too. People think that you are trying to hide something when they look into your eyes. You come off as if you are profiting at others' expense and I don't think it's in a betrayal way but more of a charmer way, you might charm someone to the point you're the only person that they can think of and you might enjoy it, you might have libra, leo, 1st house, 5th house, 10th house or 11th house placements, you want to be liked by everyone but especially popular and well known people, atleast that's what people assume when they look into your eyes. Some of you might have puppy eyes, I'm getting you being able to get away with stuff by simply just giving your puppy eyes and even if you don't have naturally puppy eyes, you know how to make them look puppy-ish when it's needed. People think that you do not follow some rules that are created by the society, like for example, you might not believe that marriage is necessary or you might not think that sex work is something shameful. Someone here has their juno in taurus. It's funny because you seem to be a popular outcast and someone who doesn't fit in but is well liked but still hated, adored but despised, all at once. You are ironically viewed as someone who has a good yet toxic and light-hearted yet intense love life. People think that things are starting to get better for you now. People also think that you've changed and matured a lot. People assume that you aren't the type to be shy when it comes to the people that you like. You just seem very confident and I think it's because you're physically attractive or just attractive enough to the opposite sex. People think that you have plans about how to make people like you and how to charm people. Your eyes also look very flirty. Wow, you also come off very generous though, people assume that you're selfless and don't have trouble forgiving people which might cause them to think that you're detached and don't have many emotions. People think that you try to be fair and justiciable and I think it is true. People think that you believe in giving and receiving when it comes to people that you care about, usually romantically. Since, romantic relationships and attractiveness are coming out a lot in this pile, people might objectify you a lot like people might bring up your love life and the way you appear in almost every conversation. It's funny, people think that you're impulsive, don't have many emotions and play others but also think that you are extremely genuine, giving and loving. Also, even though you're seen to be impulsive and choose to live freely and wildly, you also come off as the type to plan stuff out. People think that you trust your guts and that you have an active imagination while still being able to maintain your daily life regardless of how delusional and out of impulse you act. Things just seem to work out for you.

Marvus and his money headcanon
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Been surfing through the marvus tags and I've got some thoughts to share regarding this clown)
To start off, I personally think troll currency is more digital than physical. Like everyone uses a card to trade or get items (and its only due to the empresses restrictions on things when she removed the adults from the planet) but physical money is still real, it's just a fun thing that highbloods and high midbloods use to flaunt and to trade amongst each other.
To signify the value of the bills, they have a strip of color from the cast they were made for. For example, Teals =80, Cerulean =90, Indigo =100, etc.
(There were coins that were common amongst lowbloods and low midbloods, but that got discontinued when moving to cashless/digital. There is evidence preserving the old currency existence such as in museums showings of the old times and extremely old paintings in the clown churches.) (You can think that these coins are caegars or not)
With that out the way! On to Marvus and his money 💰
I imagine Marvus doesn't really care about money nor feels that it has a heavy connection to his identity compared to performing/entertaining. Marvus just knows that people wanna see him and lose their shit at his concerts and are willing to drop stacks to be there even with the risk of being culled.
With that, Marvus can be loose with his money, quite literally throwing it around to which some highbloods would critique the act as 'disrespectful' and 'rebellious' since money is one of the ways ancestors can provide to descendants and give them a clue to their existence. (If they want or have left a will if they died, regardless, the empire still sets them up with a small fund)
I dont know if philanthropy would be an actual thing or just be a thing highbloods (like Zebruh) say they do for approval points. But I imagine Marvus would be the type to do so in the most unconventional means.
He probably stopped his tour bus once to grab a grubshake or a handmade sandwich from a small cafe and threw a fat band on the counter saying, "Keep da change lol." Leaving the workers there in awe and fear cause damn he just weirdly blessed them, and damn they now gotta fight off his fans from stealing the marvy money. (If Marvus is there, his fans are certainly gonna be there too.)
Marvus definitely buys his crew lunch or, if he's hanging with someone, offers to pay for them when he's out and about. He stresses tf out of his accountant because he doesn't keep track of how much he spends in a day. You know his ass absolutely has a money gun to use at his concerts.
Bascially when you're Marvus, you're a baller who is a big spender.
When interacting with Marvus, depending on his quadrant, you're gonna see how he moves with his cash.
•♡ Matespirit ♡•
if you got this man in this quadrant, good luck on getting Marvus not to spoil the fuck out of you. Trust and believe he'll take any chance to drop some stacks on you. If you guys are out and you say or point out some items, you can bet that Marvus is buying them.
Oh, you think that clothing line is cute? Guess what? He's ordered the entire line to be sent to your place.
Big fan of video games? No problem! He is getting the newest console out on the market in your favorite color with your name on it.
Love sweets? Bam! He's gonna invite you over to his crib and have you watch a team of trolls bake the best desserts of Alternia.
Money ain't a thang to this man. It gives him a chance to show his love through the material means and show that he wants you to enjoy yourself and time with him. Small part of him uses money to be a temporary fix when he has to go on long tours. If he can't spend time with you on troll FaceTime or in real life, he'll send gifts to show that he's still alive and thinking about you.
However, if large displays of affections through money don't appeal to you or you start to feel overwhelmed by the purchases or think he's being disingenious in his affection, he'll pull it back.
He'll likely give you a card that's connected to his account so you can have the control to buy what you want without feeling like you have to ask him. (And such an act will give him a small piece of security to know you'll have the means to survive financially on Alternia, especially if you've expressed times of financial hardships to him)
Also doesn’t matter if it's public or private, He's gonna randomly place bills on your person, i.e., stuffing them in your pockets, slipping them in your shirt pocket, pinning them to your jacket. If you ask him why he's doing that (or wonder where he stores his cash)(btw he literally has no pants pockets) Marvus is gonna give you a saucy wink and smile all dumb and say "a mf gotta pay dem feez 4 havin a wicked mate lik u b ;0)" than he'll place a smacking wet kiss on your forehead and be all noisey about it while doing so.
•◇ Moirials ◇•
In this quadrant, his spending habit might look casual to outsiders, but with you, they'll be a tad more personal. Still be extra af like in matespiritship but he'll be spending money to clear his mind or yours.
Feeling stressed about some unfinished work? Don't worry. He'll reserve a spa service just for you.
Need to cry out some hard feelings? He's gonna get some matching pajamas and grab some emergency blankets to get that session on.
You know that one ring that SpongeBob and Patrick have to show off their friendship? He's gonna get something like that to represent your guy's moirallgience. Anything involving moirails, he will buy and send them to you.
You're definitely gonna be his merch tester and probably be brought to his trips to the galleries when he goes to buy art pieces. (Need your support and opinion when bidding for art pieces.)
Like with matespiritship, if you feel like he's being insincere or rather prefers more handmade gifts. He'll try to schedule days to create personal gifts. He might pay someone to tutor him about your interests just so you can rant without having to stop and explain what you're talking about.
Marvus will remember what your favorite snacks and favorite meals are for when you're hanging with the crew or just him. Compared to where he won't care about what someone orders, you don't gotta worry about an order mess up or reminding him. He got that locked in, unless you want something different, then just point him to it.
If there is a fucked up order for you, he will raise hell. Typically, he won't care if something he orders is messed up. He'll pay for another one. However, on behalf of his moirial, this mf gonna walk up to the counter like that meme saying they asked for no pickles. The first and hopefully (in his opinion) only time you'll ever see him asking for a refund.
A thing that'll be a routine of your relationship is him swinging by your place late af in the daytime to grab you and get some breakfast before he has to start his night.(Unless you spend the day at his hive than he'll order said breakfast and catch some more Zzzs with you.)
•♤ Kismeses ♤•
Now in this quadrant, compared to the other two, Marvus is a clown who's mischievous as hell. This bitches antics are gonna be up to 100 when it comes to him.
Honestly, you're gonna be on your toes for buying things. It'll become a back and forth of him randomly, not having money than to him having it though being really annoying and lazy with it.
If your someone who's well off, you better hide your wallet. Marvus will snag your card and make an excuse how he left his cash in his other pants/trailer/hive and buy the most stupidest shit under your name. (He'll troll cash app you back but do it so tediously that you hope your account crashes)
If he catches a single hint or a word, even a wrinkle of disgust on you, Marvus will make it the bane of your life.
You dislike the residue of his paint left on your face after a hate-makeout session? Marvus now has to buy this one face paint that is known for being messy. what? His manager told him, too. :0)
You think cowboy boots are clunky and tacky? Guess who's strolling up in some bedazzled purple lined boots that jingle when he walks.
You make a comment on how creepy troll beanie boos plushies are, he's gonna get a brand deal with them and send you a crate of his new designs. A note will be attached saying "4 my numba 1 fan ;0)~".
Similar to moirallgience, you will be a merch tester, yet you won't know if he's being serious or wanting to rile you up. Regardless, when you shit on the design he's showing you, that's how he'll know his fans will love it! Doesn't matter if it's the simplest design, an eyesore to the public, he'll promote it to the point that even your small-time friends will surely mention the product to you. Might even send a shout-out to you on Chitter for your 'help'.
Don't ask him for a bill if you want something from a vending machine. Marvus will pull the most crumpled weirdly stained bill you'll ever see in your lifetime and smile at you plainly like, "Here u go buddi dats all I can find on me atm lmao." Additionally to this, he will slowly count his bucks out if you all are in a line somewhere. (Marvus knows no one will rush him and if you complain, he'll pretend he lost count and start over)
To conclude this, watch out for when he's feeling more petty. He'll make a habit of sending you items in loud peculiar packaging that suggest to those handling it that there's something inappropriate in it when there really isn't.
•♧ Auspistice ♧•
With this one, Marvus doesn’t fit the vibe of where he might truly kill his kismeses. Nor does he seem to want to be in a situation to be aggravated enough to join in murdering someone (Going off his response to MSPA reader when the clown fight happened). However, Marvus may strive on not becoming active on those emotions. Close calls can exist.
A tiff among his roadies about best faygo flavors is a good way. His manager hassling him, and trying to change up his brand is close enough. Groupie sea dwellers trying to follow him back to his trailer and not taking a hint is a real close call.
If you mediate for Marvus a few times, he'll certainly be grateful (and a bit embarrassed) he'll grant you a gift card of some shop of your choice as thanks.
On the other hand, you've been around long enough to spot a murderous Marvus, then you're undeniably a part of his inner circle. With the exception of being his paid emotional bodyguard coach.
As business-like, it might seem in the beginning, you're a trustworthy and skillful individual in Marvus's eyes. He knows dealing with irritated trolls, particularly enraged highbloods, is not a fun nor easy task.
Other trolls may feel like this relationship is wandering into moirallgience territory.(which might be) Marvus won't really care about those opinions and possibly offer to meditate for you in the event he catches you in a tense position.
You’ll be called for his long tours when he has to do shows for sea dwellers and, without a doubt, be put through the ringer. It'll end with you guys munching on loads of the troll version of ice cream in silence.
At any point, you're too stressed to de-escalate a situation. He'll give you a paid vacation and make sure you don't come back until you are entirely stressed free.
He may tell you once he calms down that you should open a private business due to your and I quote "motherfckin dopeazz obzi-va-tional skilz."
Small note : Marvus has dealt with people trying to form a quad with him just for the fame/money, as we seen with Zebruh. So if he catches signs that what's happening, he's going to be acting distant and extremely scripted around you, then like ghost you. You'll be blacklisted from his concerts (unknowingly), and future clowns might keep a close eye on you if you hang at the churches.
Welp, that's all! Hopefully, this was entertaining to read! I do apologize if some parts feel rushed or that there were more details in some quads, I tried to keep them around the same length.

4. Hi Mods! I hope you are well. For the next Itmf I want to ask for fics where the older generation turns into children or babies or anything in that direction and the juniors having to take care of them. Extra points if it’s time travel and not just deaging. Thank you as always.
Hi! I‘m so sorry but I forgot to add something to my ask for the next itmf. I previously asked for fics where the older Generation is de-aged and the juniors taking care of them. But I forgot to ask for Fics where especially Wei Ying is de-aged and everyone else taking care of him. I saw a similar fic where Lan Zhan was a child and WWX taking care of him, but not the other way around. So… sorry for the trouble! @desperation-is-my-middle-name​
grow by cafecliche (T, 14k, WangXian, Age Regression/De-Aging, Character Study, Post-Canon) is always incredible and this one was really great and very heavy on the  everyone loves wei ying feels (Both are de aging though, not time travel)

~*~
5. I got addicted to work ID: 25765369 (Second Bite of the Cherry) on ao3. However it's a WIP and unfinished. So does anyone know any fic that is similar to this? Or maybe a Wei Ying that is simply Madam Lan?
~*~
6. hi! first of all thank you so much for the work you do! i’m fairly new to the fandom and you’ve been a truly amazing resource for my newfound fan fictions needs ♥️
i was wondering if for an upcoming itmf if you had any recs/favorites for fics where wwx & lxc are like really good friends/bros? i’ve looked through most of the “wwx & lxc” tag on ao3, but was wondering if you had any recs that maybe weren’t tagged with that but still had a solid relationship between them? not just supportive brother to lwg (which i totally adore), but specifically good friends with wwx
~*~

9. Hi!!! Do you have any fics where yllz! wwx is just "at his worst"? Like, little to no sleep, eats too little, kind of scary for the wen renmants sometimes, a time-bomb, kind of unhinged, and being held together only by resentful energy maybe? The story can be anything but pls a lot of angst and maybe a happy ending?? or maybe not ^^. I just think that a really fucked up, dark, half-dead yllz is pretty cool.

13. hi, i have an itmf request 🙏🏽 are there any fics where lwj tells wwx about saving a-yuan much sooner? i know they were very busy with canon and all but i read a few fics where wwx agonizes about failing his son, and i just want him to KNOW 😭 thank you! @danmeiireader

so there is a fic, where the lans were birds, however wangji has black feathers like his mom and he was shamed for it and would bind his wings so no one saw it and then he meets wei ying who encourages him to be himself. if anyone knows the name of this I think it would work
~*~
15. hello, hello! hope you have a wonderful day/afternoon/evening.
for "I'm in a mood for...", any fic where LW achieved immortality status during or after the sunshot campaign and be treated as such when other characters find out.
Kinda like Jammingjackelopes' Time and Time Again's LW where he's immortal all-throughout the story and he would often summon/form ice when he's pissed off. Those parts always remind me how he's not mortal anymore and i love how he still spoils WWX.
~*~
16. Hello! for the next itmf is there any fics where wwx pulls a bssr and kinda "isolates" burial mounds from the cultivation world and their drama?
The Trouble With Politics: a Treatise on Jiang Sect Deputies Gone Rogue by Sect Leader Wei Wuxian by stiltonbasket (G, 40k, WIP, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Yílíng Wèi Sect, or: the one where yu   zhenhong is a wild card, Smitten LWJ, Domestic Fluff, Politics, Happy Ending, Sect Leader WWX, Fix-It of Sorts, JZX still dies though)

a new (temporary) life
genre: fluff
pairing: sana x fem!reader (ft. empress twice)
setting: ancient korea
content warnings: mentions of captivity
Tumblr media
you were so amazed by the culture and sights of south korea.
after a few weeks of staying here, in hiding from mina, you’ve found yourself feeling more free.
even getting to walk outside without feeling like you have to be cautious of how you look, what you have to say, just nothing mattered.
you felt so carefree.
you were linked arms with empress nayeon and chaeyoung who you roamed the streets of korea with. seeing different designs of hanbok, different foods, including the very unfamiliar hangul that you had to adjust to.
nayeon and dahyun helped you understand each letter, and they will say your korean has improved within just the little amount of time you’ve been in this country, along with momo who is following behind.
“she seems to be adjusting to the life here, sana.” jihyo smiles looking at the older girl.
“she is. i’m happy she is…” she sighs as she stares ahead with a frown watching you.
jihyo looks at sana with furrowed eyebrows, “is something wrong?”
sana takes a deep breath in before speaking, “i wish her life hadn’t come to this, jihyo. in hiding like this? if i could face mina right now…she’d regret it.”
she kicks a few pebbles on the ground in frustration.
“well, at least she’s out of harms way, ya know? she is okay now. and mina cannot reach her-”
“no,” sana cuts her off, “you don’t understand. i’m lucky y/n has even gained her own consciousness back. it was so hard.”
“sana? what do you mean?” jihyo asks as the empress turns to look at her, and they both stop walking.
“that bitch had put y/n into a dungeon cell. that dungeon is deep into the grounds of her palace. she made y/n believe she did that because she cares about her. you don’t do that to someone who you love.” sana angrily says while jihyo only listens.
“i hadn’t seen y/n for seven months. the first time i saw her i-i…” a lump in sana’s throat appears after having her brain create that same you she saw that awful day.
“she would not speak. she would not even look me in the eye. all she did was respond to mina. the look in her eyes; she was scared all the time. she was just…gone. it took me nearly two months for her to get back to normal, and even then she was so paranoid that mina would do something to her, worse than keeping her away from civilization.”
jihyo carefully used her thumbs to wipe away the tears off sana’s face that flowed rapidly.
“hey, it’s okay. y/n is here with you. she is okay. i understand being so afraid, but you have got her with you. she is no longer near mina. she’s safe.” the younger empress reminds her friend as she wipes her tears.
sana nods shakily, feeling her emotions overtaking in such an instant.
she loves you so deeply, so much so she would die for you.
the thought of mina somehow getting back to you is a nightmare she never wants to face or live.
she vowed to herself she would keep you safe.
“sana!” nayeon’s voice pulled sana from her thoughts and she quickly but gently dabbed her tears away, “come!”
jihyo and sana both make their way over to nayeon who was smiling widely and excitedly as she lead them both into a tent, specifically for traditional hanboks.
what sana was met with made her go in awe. totally speechless.
“ooh! you look so beautiful, young one. you are sure to be a lovely bride.” the owner says with a chuckle as she re-adjusted the hanbok you wore.
you turn around meeting sana’s eyes with a small smile.
“so? what do you think?” dahyun asks with a giggle.
sana couldn’t even form words, even if she wanted to. but all she could do was stare at you in this moment.
seeing you in traditional wedding hanbok, along with your beautiful facial features that are present with your smile, including the little giggle you let out as compliments kept getting thrown at you.
yeah, i am certain i will marry this girl, sana thought.
make into a series or nah?

At this hearing I stand before my fellow members
of the Tortured Poets Department
With a summary of my findings
A debrief, a detailed rewinding
for the purpose of warning
for the sake of reminding
as you might all unfortunately recall
I had been struck with a case
Of a restricted humanity
which explains my plea here today
Of temporary i n s a n i t y
You see, the pendulum swings
Oh, the chaos it brings
leads the caged beast to do
the most curious things.
Lovers spend years denying what's ill fated
resentment rotting away
galaxies we created
Stars placed and glued
meticulously by hand
Next to the ceiling fan
Tired wishing on comets
Tried dimming the shine.
Tried to orbit his planet.
Some stars never align.
And in one conversatin, I tore down the whole sky
spring sprung forth with dazzling freedom hues
then a crash from the skylight
bursting through
Something old, something hallowed
who told me he could be brand new.
And so I was out of the oven
And into the microwave
out of the slammer and into a tidal wave
How gallant to save the empress
from her gilded tower.
Swinging a sword he could barely lift
But loneliness struck at that fateful hour
Low hanging fruit on his wine stained lips
He never even scratched the surface
of me
None of them did.
"In summation, it was not a love affair"
I screamed while bringing my fists
to my coffee ringed desk
It was a mutual manic phase.
It was self harm.
It was house and then cardiac arrest.
A smirk creeps onto this poet's face.
Because it's the worst men that I write best.
And so I enter into evidence
My tarnished coat of arms
My muses, acquired like bruises
My talismans and charms
The tick, tick, tick of love bombs
My veins of pitch black ink
All's fair in love and poetry
Sincerely,
The Chairman
of The Tortured Poets Department
"In Summation", a poem by Taylor Swift

A thief’s oath
Blades of Light and Shadow
Summary: Takes place after Blades of light and shadow 2. Autumn (MC) and gang have defeated the Ash Empress and merged the kingdoms. Mal wants to take care of his tired kit, so he makes good on his thief’s oath.
Pairings: Mal Volari X MC (Autumn Nightbloom)
Rating: Teen
1600 words
Tumblr media
It’d been mere hours since that fateful decision to merge the realms. A cataclysmic change with repercussions they’d only begun to fathom.
Mal gazes out of the Light Army’s command tent, shuddering at the skeletal trees now dotting the green forests and the movements of shadow creatures roaming the landscape. The sky alternates between blue and purplish hues, late afternoon sunlight streaking faintly through rolling storm laden clouds.
Autumn, the Hero of Morella twice over now, had jumped into action, convening the leaders of Whitetower, Undermount, Zaradun, Flotilla, the Goblins and Ashen kingdom to discuss peaceful coexistence. They had been at it for hours, with Tyril, Imtura, Cherta and Willow working to influence their fellow delegates, Nia doing her best to advise king Arlan as Priestess of Light, and Valax mediating with the Ashen lords, all poring over quickly redrawn maps and borders.
“Who do you think you are, you insolent fool, to claim the lands south of Riverbend?!” King Arland glowers at a haughty Ashen lord, face contorted with rage.
Figures, Mal sneers, the powerful squabbling over land and power with complete disregard to us common folk.
At least his kit and their friends were doing everything in their power to do right by the people of the newly merged realm.
His gaze warms as he takes her in. His brilliant, beautiful Autumn. Her brow creases as she works with Valax to mediate between King Arlan and the Ashen Lordling. He notices the dark patches under her eyes. A tired tenseness in her movements.
In two strides he’s at her side, snaking an arm around her waist as he whispers gently in her ear.
“Kit, my love, time for a little break.”
“I can’t. Kindda in the middle of something.” She pecks him on the cheek, making to dive back into the negotiations.
Mal tightens his hold, and she huffs impatiently.
“Mal, we have to figure this out! If we can’t reach compromises, we risk war.. again!”
“I get that, Kit, but we’re talking a complete re-drawing of the world map, the integration of new cities and people… it’s gonna take more than a couple of hours crammed in a tent to figure things out and you all know it. You’ve barely slept over the past few days, and let’s not forget you just fought and vanquished a god. You need a break.”
He kisses lightly behind her ear, his hand moving from her waist to her lower back in soothing circles.
“Plus, I recall taking a thief’s oath a little while back.” He gazes at her, a small smirk tugging at his lips. “And I intend to keep it.”
Her eyes sparkle at the memory of stolen kisses, her body melting in his strong arms.
“Remind me again what that oath was, your magnificence?”
“Well, the first part was to whisk you away. It’ll have to be a temporary escape for now.” He whispers in her ear, nipping at the lobe and trailing soft kisses down the back of her neck.
Autumn flushes at his ministrations, a warmth building in her belly. She relents.
“A short break would be good. Tyril, Imtura, Nia, Valax, you guys fine if we step out for a bit?”
Imtura smirks knowingly at her friend’s flushed complexion. “Go, Autumn, we’ve got this.”
“Aw thanks, Immy, much obliged!” Mal smirks mischievously, wagging his eyebrows. He ducks out as an empty cup flies past his head, Imtura bellowing “I told ya not to call me that, landrat!!”
He takes Autumn's hand, strolling across the camp towards their shared tent.
She breathes in the crisp air, already feeling a little of the tension lift. “Thanks for this, Mal. I didn’t realize how much I needed a breather. Things were getting pretty tense in there.” She sighs wearily. “Honestly this is all a little overwhelming. Give me monsters and bad guys to fight any day, but politics… really not my cup of tea.”
“Hey, you were brilliant in there, Kit. Everyone listens to you, the Hero of the Realms. Don’t you ever doubt yourself.”
She smiles at his fervent tone, giving his hand a grateful squeeze.
“But you can’t always be there for everyone and not take care of yourself. We’ve both learned the hard way that doesn’t do any good…. So… let me take care of you.” He finishes softly.
“Mal, I love you.” She turns to him, her handsome rogue, and pulls him into a soft kiss.
“I love you too, my kit, always.” Mal deepens the kiss, tasting her, hands roaming freely making her gasp.
“Mal, tent. Now. “
He chuckles and leads her faster across the camp, stealing hot kisses along the way.
Soon Mal ushers her into their tent, lighting a few candles before settling onto the bedroll, gently pulling her down next to him.
“Now, about the second part of that oath…”
With a flourish, he produces a bottle of Celestial Vintage.
“… a bottle of the finest wine a man can steal! Swiped it from the tent of a pompous elven lordling.” He winks, flashing her a devilish grin.
She leans in for a kiss, chuckling. “Please tell me it’s the only thing you’ve swiped from our allies? Unless you want to single-handedly derail our peace talks...”
“You know kit, I’m all about redistributing wealth. And I can’t think of anyone more deserving than you.” He purrs against her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
“But don’t worry, nothing else of value’s gone missing. Thief’s honor.”
He grins and produces a pair of glasses, pouring them both a generous serving.
Autumn takes a sip, closing her eyes as she marvels at the familiar explosion of taste, the brightness of sunshine blending perfectly with the crispness of snow and sweetness of honey.
“Hmmm… just like that bottle in Undermount.”
She cracks an eyelid to see Mal gazing at her intently, a soft smile lighting his features.
“Our first date.” He leans in to brush his lips against hers, his breath ghosting her cheek.
“Hah! You admit it was a date!” She grins triumphantly, taking another sip of the wonderful nectar, feeling a delicious warmth spreading, slowly melting away some of her weariness.
“Well… yeah, it was most definitely implied.” He chuckles, a little bashful.
“Implied being the key word. Were you, Mal the Magnificent, great adventurer and seducer of countless Contessas, nervous to ask me out?” She bats her eyes sweetly, biting her lower lip to hide a smirk.
“What? No? Never! I just …. Figured I’d play it cool, considering your propensity to flirt with any and every two-legged creature in the realm.” He growls playfully at her, leaning in to steal a heated kiss, savouring the sweet effervescence of wine lingering on her tongue.
She smirks and straddles his hips, earning a satisfying groan.
“Oh, I see. You, my charming. Rakish. Absolute flirt of a rogue. Were worried I’d say no.” She punctuates each sentence with a kiss. “I wonder, my handsome scoundrel, how can I convince you that you’re all I could ever want?”
“Now that’s very easy, kit…” Mal whispers huskily, snaking his arms around her waist and holding her flush, trailing hungry kisses down her neck. “We can start by ridding you of all of these pesky clothes.”
All too soon, Autumn sighs, untangling herself from her lover’s arms, making to return to her duties.
She laughs heartily as she pushes him onto his back, losing herself in her rogue’s embrace.
Tumblr media
Mal grabs her waist, tugging her back into a lazy caress. “Wait, kit, rest just a little longer.”
She kisses him softly, settling back into his arms. “You know, we’re really stretching this ‘break’.”
She considers, “You’re right, about these peace talks requiring proper time and patience if we want to get it right. I’ll suggest we relocate to Whitetower Palace for now. We’ll eventually need to travel the realm to help the communities rebuild.”
“I’ll follow you wherever you go, kit. As long as you’ll have me.” He kisses her softly. “Though I am happy we’ll be in Whitetower for a little while. I’ve been wanting to check up on the orphanage, make sure the kids are doing good.”
“Mal, have I told you how proud I am?” She gazes up at him intently. “I’m glad others are now seeing what I always knew about you, that under all this bravado, you’re a pretty honorable man.”
“S’nothing, really,” Mal smiles ruefully, “wanted to do good by you. Also, to give these kids a better life than I had growing up…”
“Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more.” She plants soft kisses along his neck and chest before continuing, a little hesitant. “Actually, we haven’t talked about what we’d do after all this… I was wondering if... if you’d let me help you with the orphanage?”
Mal looks at her in surprise “That’s what you want? To stay in Whitetower?”
“I want to be with you, Mal, and you’ve made a life here with your sister and Vivi, Nia, the kids… I’d love to be part of it. Plus, I’m an orphan too, remember? Kindda invested in helping you give them a better life.” She smiles up at him softly.
For a moment, Mal is speechless. Then he beams with pleasure, pulling her into a searing kiss. “I’d like nothing better, Autumn.”
“Well then that’s settled! Let’s meet up with the others and get about moving our negotiations into Whitetower.” She pushes up, quickly getting dressed.
“But there’s still wine left!” Mal pouts, searching around for his boots.
“To be continued, then.” Autumn smiles wickedly as she saunters out into the darkened camp.
