Trouble should get a hat. Reason: the idea of Trouble touching the brim of his hat and saying "ma'am" is hot and seems like peak Trouble behavior

Honestly, hard agree. I also think he's the only one who could pull something like that off (other than Red) without sounding sarcastic glfdjgdgdf

#Chase calling anyone 'ma'am' just gets him suspicious squints #Blade doesn't uh really defer to anyone in that way LMAO he salutes to his military superiors #but even when he was younger he could be a bit shirty about it #and now he doesn't answer to anybody so he just kind of turns around and walks away when the conversation is done #the most you get is a nod of acknowledgement before he leaves LMAO #i guess Halek could pull it off too but only if he could be arsed to be polite #Riel calls no one 'ma'am' it's 'madam' and it's always either polite or scathing - there is no in-between #and like I said Red could pull it off but he'd never put a hat over that carefully-styled hair 😭 #Shepherds of Haven #Trouble #Trouble Alder

Hi! How does Talon exactly protect Aiden from his fans. Like, I just imagine Aiden running, the horde of fans after him, how does Talon handle that? I mean, he can't stab all of them.

Luckily, Aiden’s fans rarely come running in hordes (the poor boy would be so overwhelmed), so the situation is not too hard to handle.

Most of the time Talon minds Aiden’s “fans” more than Aiden does himself, but sometimes Aiden actively wants to avoid certain people.

In those cases he will pretty much hide behind Talon, who either tries to shield him from the particular person’s view, hide Aiden away somewhere or just stare that person down with that special look he has whenever someone gets too close to Aiden and Talon doesn’t like it.

The last option proofs to be very effective.

#if aiden needs to be saved from a conversation Talon will make up some random reason why Aiden has to leave #Aiden has various types of fans #the creepy ones are the rarest but the worst and Talon would actually do like to stab them but alas. he can’t. manslaughter isn’t allowed #writer speaks #writeblr #wip: the knights of the alder

Shelf Fungi of Abortiporus sp with bright red guttation, growing on the decomposing wood of downed alder. Still working to ID the species. This was found along the bank of East Fork Willow Creek.

Gonna need a fic of Tally calling for Alder and as she realizes Alder can’t  seemingly hear her she collapses to the floor and just lets out one more desperate cry”Sarah I need you please!”

THIS This Alder hears because its the first time Tally has EVER said her name and just the sheer desperation in Tally’s voice makes her freeze in place. But she can’t do anything about it. Finding the last steward is far to important. It doesn’t hurt any less because she has no idea what is wrong with Tally but the mission comes first. It has too. 

When she finally sees Tally with her own eyes she just can’t stop herself from pulling Tally into a kiss. A short one but still takes Tally by surprise even more so at Sarah’s words”I heard you Tally Craven. I am so sorry for taking so long.”

8, 14 and 25 for the OC associations!

8. Can kill you with a pencil 

Densil ofc. Antoine if he really had to.

14. Owns a motorcycle

Antoine, even if Malin won’t give him one in game… 

25. Is the comforting one 

Antoine may not always know what to do, but he’ll usually try his best to either listen, distract or offer hugs (limited time only, expires in 10 minutes!! get them now!). He may not get it right always, but if the person he’s comforting knows what they need he can usually offer it.

Monroe if this sort of outlook comforts you:

(that's all he's got tho)

#asks #densil argent #antoine duman #monroe campion #thank you and no i'm not drawing a motorcycle even if i want antoine to have one #also it's funny and very sad that those two are the best at comforting but really everyone else is abysmal #think awkward back pats - if that #these days alder would probably just leave #densil might be able to pretend.. but he'd probably get away as soon as possible too #rene and nic are mostly hanging around awkwardly/baking cakes lol

Tell me about the sluttiest guy out of the ones that you posted

ALDER TIME. he wants attention so, so badly. i mean this in full respect. diamonds as a whole is "slutgender", which is there for. personal reasons. it is not horny so much as a Frame Of Mind. love on earth. in any case, this guy just. he used to be a college student from 1999 and had a Very Terrible family life. he had to go back home for the summer and.. he didn't want to go home so so badly that he just just didn't go home. ran into a forest on campus on impulse and got lost. didn't realize he was in asphodel and suddenly had some guy talking to him (antoine) and went. "ah shit where am i. my dads gonna kill me." and turned heel and ran Back Into The Forest (asphodel forest, this time). eventually he'd end up climbing up the ranks & networking, ending up as a pretty high society-type person. he even made his way into Sancorium, an incredibly elusive and extravagant place, almost exclusively reserved for antoine's most trusted friends. (or that's how it's most commonly described, at least.)

...but at the very beginning, after immediately running away in the middle of antoine's introduction speech to asphodel & getting lost in the forest, he found a "wild orchard" of what seemed to be apples, ignored literally every posted warning sign, and immediately got really fucked up on them in a bad way. a great first impression of asphodel! eat some psychoactive fruits.

Myrtle, putting Wormkit into Alder’s nest: lmaoo this can’t go wrong

Wormkit: *crawls into Myrtle’s nest and refuses to move*

Myrtle: .................................................................................................................................................................. this works too

#he would try to get sleepy Alder to come cuddle with him #but his part of the den is too thorny #and Alder would just be (eyes closed with tiredness) no #you come over here if you want nuzzles #and Myrtlr just looks at Wormkit not leaving his nest and wonders how to explain to him that he can't without revealing #hopefully he doesn't forget to tell the boyfriends #that the kit that scared them is here #wormkit #myrtlewing #alderstar

Okay @bunnymermaidsblog so here’s how “Show Yourself” from Frozen 2 fits Henry

First off, context for this song if it were about Henry is that he just came to the faerie realm.

(Putting the rest under a cut for everyone’s sanity xD)

Now let’s take a closer look to some lyrics…

“Something is familiar, like a dream I can reach but not quite hold […] I'm arriving and it feels like I am home”

When Henry leaves the village to go to the faerie realm, he’s nervous. He has never been there before, if you don’t count the literal day of his birth.

Yet instantly when he’s there, he feels like he’s finally at home. He feels familiarity and belonging. Which is strange to him and kinda hard to grasp, cause he’s never seen this place yet seems to know it.

The thing about fae is that they are very closely tied to their birthplace (the fae realm) and when they are away from it for too long, they start to miss it. They long for home, no matter how little time they spent in that realm.

“The woods are calling all of us home”, as Isleen warned Ranva once. And this is what Henry experienced, why he felt so out of place in the village and instantly feels a connection to the fae realm as he gets there.

Yet he can’t quite name this feeling, let alone understand it, thus his uncertainty.

“I have always been a fortress, cold secrets deep inside”

This one is simple. Henry had always carried the secret of what he was with him. With that he indirectly blocked out people he loved, mainly Aiden, because he didn’t share this secret with him.

“Show yourself, it's your turn. Are you the one I've been looking for all of my life?”

Now with “you” you could say Henry is addressing both the pull he felt that made him go to the fae realm as well as the decision he has made itself (you could say he’s waiting for the decision’s turn to prove him he made the right choice, if that makes sense)

(Maybe he’s also addressing Callan a bit, because if you look at it, Henry now has to fully rely on Callan cause he only has him left. So maybe he’s hoping for Callan to also show him that he made the right choice)

“I've never felt so certain, all my life I've been torn. But I'm here for a reason. Could it be the reason I was born?”

This is also very much Henry cause especially in his teen years he’d been torn between his loyalty to his family and his own desires.

Even at the point where he actually leaves he’s not sure if he made the right choice.

But then he comes to the fae realm and it just feels right. It feels like this is meant to be, he suddenly KNOWS that it’s meant to be, despite his doubts.

He also feels like he’s there for a reason, like him being there has a purpose and therefore simply had to be. He doesn’t know that purpose yet, but he knows it’s important (thus potentially “the reason he was born”)

“I have always been so different, normal rules did not apply. Is this the day […] I finally find out why?”

Here we have it again, a reference to Henry’s life in the village. Where he was loved, yes, but also obviously different. At least most people in the village would agree with that.

Henry hopes that now that he’s at the faerie realm, he will finally fully understand why he is different, will finally discover who he really is as a person.

Because his mother did tell him about being a fae, yes, but there’s still questions. Many questions.

Henry’s whole journey is a lot about getting to know himself, after all.

“I'm no longer trembling. Here I am, I've come so far […]”

Henry waited for answers all his life, especially ever since his mother died. And now he’s in the fae realm and he finally gets his answers, so he’s not afraid anymore.

The next few lines is Henry starting to get used to his new life and investigating, trying to open that door that has been closed for so long.

And then it finally opens and behind it, he finds his mother. And he finds himself.

“Come, my darling, homeward bound. I am found.”

This line is very touching to me (both in the movie but especially in the Henry context) because by going back to his roots, he finds who stood at the beginning of it all. His mother.

By getting to the fae realm (and cause of his research), he got closer to the mother he lost, too. And through her, he also starts finding and recognizing himself.

“Show yourself, step into the power. Grow yourself into something new. You are the one you've been waiting for all of your (my) life”

When Henry finally has found the answers, has found himself, he grows so much as a person. He realizes that all he ever searched for all his life was his true self.

And with that knowledge comes a new confidence within him that helps him a lot in his future.

He’s as sure of himself and his origin now as he’s ever been. And all that cause he took the leap and left his village.

See, there’s many things about this song that I love and that I think fit Henry:

The search for something you can’t name and finally getting close to finding it.

The reunion with your roots and yourself via the image of a mother, carved into memory.

And then finally, to find yourself and trust in yourself, because what you’ve been looking for was within you all along.

Finally understanding, finally finding the truth within you.

Am I overanalyzing this? Most likely, yes, but that’s what you came here for, right? Anyway I hope you like this 🙈

#is it evident that I love this song and that j love giving way too long explanations about Henry? xD #I hope this makes at least a little sense to anyone who isn’t me #this is such a big point about Henry’s character and his decision to leave #he never did this because of Callan he did it for himself and in hope it would help his family too #thus Henry telling Aiden that he didn’t choose Callan over Aiden. he chose himself #writer speaks #writeblr #wip: the knights of the alder
