control freak - t.n x female!reader

Blurb: theo has control issues but his girlfriend doesn't mind

Word Count: 2.7k

A/N: this was originally 6k words but i felt like the second part was really intense self indulgence but if people like this i'm happy to fix the second part up and post it as well :))

Masterlist | Part 2

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

If Theodore Nott had his way, people would stop calling him controlling. Okay, maybe there had been times where he had lied and deceived to get his way, and sure, he was quick to rise to temper which often made people just agree with him, but it was just because he always knew what was best.

He had first said this thought outloud to the pretty girl he had been dating during their seventh year at Hogwarts and after two years of being with him, she felt comfortable enough to scoff at his words.

“Because you know what’s best?” They had just left Draco Malfoy’s and Theo was driving her home.

His eyes flickered to hers and back to the road, astounded that she had the audacity to scoff at him.

“Well, yeah.” The only reason they were having this conversation was because of something stupid Draco had said.

“You need another drink,” Draco had said as soon as he noticed the girl sitting on Theo’s lap had an empty cup in her hand.

“Ooh, yes please.”

“No, she doesn’t.”

She turned to look at her frowning boyfriend and gave him a look to match his.

“Theo,” she had whined.

“You’ve already drank enough, if you drink something else, you’ll get sick.” He had sat up to whisper in her ear and there was a piece of her deep down that knew he was right. She was currently happy and drunk and she had drunk that last drink quite fast. Another would probably move her to the next level of drunk that she did not want nor need for a casual get together with friends.

“I might have one a bit later, Draco, thank you.” Theo slouched back down, happy with the compromise.

“Merlin, Nott,” Draco scoffed, “you keep her on a tight leash.”

Theo suddenly wasn’t slouching anymore nor was she sitting on his lap.

“You were happy and drunk, another drink only would have made you feel worse.”

She took a deep breath and bit her tongue as they came to a red light. It casted a shadow on Theo’s face as he turned to look at her. He kept one hand on the steering wheel but brought the other to give the flesh of the thigh closest to him a squeeze. He left it there as she sighed.

“I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying you’re controlling.”

His gaze wasn’t harsh, but it still let her know that he wasn’t happy with her response.

She did her best to change her face in a way that would please the boy who had a small tick in his jaw. She widened her eyes and wet her lips, sinking into her seat slightly and glancing at the large hand still sprawled over the top of her thigh.

“I didn’t say I didn’t like it.”

That made his gaze soften.

It was true.

She had been in the same house as Theo for seven years when she first started dating him and had been in the same circle for the same time.

She had seen him yell at first years to get out of their spot, she had seen him lead all of their group projects and she had seen him get angry with new people on the Quidditch team because they couldn’t understand his new formation.

But she had only really realised this in their sixth year during the Sytherin’s annual end of year celebration. There was a bottle of firewhiskey and a deck of cards that Theo was currently dealing.

She had known amost since their first day that Theodore Nott was attractive, but it wasn’t until a couple of months ago that she had decided that she was going to do something about it. And doing her best to make sure she was in his line of site at all times, she had somehow ended up next to him in the circle, trying to keep up with the rules he was currently explaining to her.

“-and if you don’t, you drink. Does that make sense?” She was nodding even though she was still caught up on the first rule he had started with.

He had finished dealing and was looking down at her in a way that told her he knew she was lying.

She didn’t mind.

Nor did she mind when he said, “how about I help you for the first round?”

And she wasn’t surprised either when it was her second turn and she had been staring at her cards for less than thirty seconds before he grabbed them out of her hands and said, “here, let me have a look.”

It reminded her of how he’d grab the parchment out of anyone’s hands whenever he didn’t trust them to write in enough detail for their group tasks.

“Play this one,” he had said, already throwing down her card before he handed her deal back to her.

She didn’t really mind this. She still chose to date him halfway through their last year and it wasn’t until the next year’s celebration that she came to the realisation that she even kinda liked it.

She was sitting in his lap and he had a cigarette in his mouth. He tried to blow it away from her but sometimes it would waft back and she would try to stop her nose from scrunching up. Their relationship was still too new for that.

She blamed the red plastic cup in her hand for the reason she asked, “Can I have a go?”

Theodore had been laughing at something Blaise said, but in the second he had turned down to look at her, Blaise had turned to Pansy and she took his opportunity to nod at the cigarette in the hand that wasn’t gripping her waist.

The chucke lines on his pretty face smoothed out and he let his hand drop as he immediately said, “No.”

She pouted at him.

“Why not?” She was giggling and she wasn’t entirely sure why, it did nothing to change the harsh angles of his jawline nor the serious look she was now on the receiving end of.

“They’re not good for you.”

“You do it.”

“That’s different.”

She giggled again, giving him a faux confused look at his contradiction.

“Please,” she whined. She really had no desire to smoke said cigarette, she just wanted to see where this would go.

“No,” he said, “end of discussion.”

There was a fluttering in her tummy and Theodore wasn’t entirely sure what it meant, but he didn’t miss the way her body gave a slight twitch at his words.

And in his defence, after seeing that boy with a cigarette in his hand almost everyday for the last couple of years, she could count the times she had seen smoke blow from his pretty mouth on one hand since that incident even if his clothes stil smet like smoke.

But it wasn’t until that night that they had spoken about it. And it was hard to tell whether that small confession in Theo’s car had changed the amount of control he usually used over her.

As shown by the events that had led up to that conversation, Theo had always kept her on a tight leash at parties.

“I just care about you, s’all,” he’d shrug when she gave him a pout everytime he cut off her drinking.

“Come straight back though,” he’d instruct when she’d get up from her designated seat (his lap) and go with Pansy to the bathroom.

“Stay where I can see you,” he’d whisper when she went to go join Pansy on the dance floor.

And he was even worse when he wasn’t at said party.

It had been three years since they started dating, over a year since the conversation in his car and a few of her friends from her work had convinced her to join them in testing the new club that had opened in Diagon Alley.

When she came out in a tight back dress that rested just below the flesh of her bum, she didn’t even react when she saw the muscle jump in her boyfriends jaw. He had come over to hers to annoy her while she was getting ready.

“I’m not annoying,” he had scowled when she said this to him.

He was driving her in and he only came early so he could make sure he knew exactly what the night would entail.

“You don’t like it?” He was sitting on her bed and she made her way over to him, nudging his knees with her own so she could stand in between his legs. His hands rested happily on her hips, rubbing the fabric of her dress he wished wasn’t covering her pretty skin.

When she let out a playful giggle he tore his hands away, only to bring them back to make a loud slapping noise as he brought them down on the flesh of her bum. She squealed as he continued to give it a tight squeeze making her body draw closer to his.

“You know I love this dress,” he whispered over her small gigges, “and I don’t care when I’m there, people know not to mess with me.” She wanted to roll her eyes at his corny words, but refrained knowing she was already pushing his buttons by wanting to wear this dress. “But I won’t be there tonight, baby.”

His voice was soft and she was letting herself melt into his touch. His hands were now rubbing the fabric covering the flesh he had tortured and she was feeling content.

Which was why she was sure she had gotten whiplash when he said, “So go change.”

He was using the same tone he had used when he told her that he wasn’t going to let her smoke. She could almost hear him say, ‘end of discussion.’

She turned her head to look at him, her mouth slightly agape in shock at the change in her boyfriend but he kept his gaze firm and she was quite dumbfounded at what had just happened so she kissed the top of his head and moved herself out of his embrace to go change.

She hadn’t thought too much about what she was wearing. She had only been out without Theo a handful of times and she had never had to worry about what she wore, only ever choosing what she felt best in at that moment in time.

She came out in another black dress, but this time it was longer.

“How’s this?” She had asked when she came out to show Theo again.

“Better.” He stood up this time to walk over to her.

When he was standing in front of her he placed the palm of his hands under her jaw, his thumbs resting on her cheeks. His palms were soft and warm and she let her head sink into his touch.

“If anyone bothers you, you know I’ll be there straight away.”

“I know,” she said, going on her tippy toes to place a gentle kiss on his lips. And she was truly grateful for that.

In the car, Theo continued.

“Message me as soon you’re ready, I’ll be there straight away. Cover your drink. If you feel even sightly off, just let me know. Trust your intuition. If you go anywhere else, let me know as well. And if anyone-”

“Gives me trouble I’ll let you know.” They were parked outside the club, but the car was still on. Theo turned his head to raise a questioning eyebrow at her.

“Don’t be a brat.”

“I’m sorry,” she sighed, “I know you’re just looking out for me, I promise I’ll keep you updated the whole night.”

“Good girl,” he mumbled as she leaned over to kiss him.

“I love you.”

“I love you pretty girl, have fun.” And what that, she slammed the door.

He watched her walk over to her friends and then began his drive back home.

The whole drive home his mind was full of worry for the pretty girl he had just left barely seconds ago.

What if something happened to her? Whenever he was there he made sure she could let her guard down and of course, he trusted her and knew she was more than capable, but he couldn’t help himself.

When he got home he sent her a message.

‘home x’

‘did you get in okay?’

He stared down at the two bubbles that had come from his phone. He tried to get his mind off it.

He got out a book, but all he was doing was looking at words, he wasn’t comprehending anything.

Five minutes had passed.

‘my love’

‘please answer’

He tried to make himself a snack. But he found he wasn’t actuay hungry.

Ten minutes.

This wasn’t good enough. She needed to answer him. Did she not know that he was going crazy wondering about all the horrible things that could have happened to her?

He pulled out his phone and rang her number.

She didn’t answer.

He was seconds away from going there himself. He knew it was crazy, but there was a part of him that wanted to go in with her. Sit at a tabel by himself so she could have her fun and he could still keep an eye on her. But even he thought that might be going to far. Except now he knew that that was what he should have done all along.

He was twirling his keys in his hand, seconds away from going there himself when her pretty picture filled up his screen.

“Theo?”His heart started beating again when he heard her voice.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, we were just on the dancefloor. I’m sorry.” And he could just imagine the sheepish look that was overtaking her pretty face.

“It’s okay my love, please just keep your phone on you, yeah?”

“Ok Theo,” she said, “I will, I promise. I love you.”

“I love you my girl.”

He waited until she hung up the phone and put his keys back down.

Now that he knew she was okay, he feared he may have been a bit dramatic. But he coudn’t help it.

He was sure that it had come from his father. His father who was quick to temper and was aways the leader in his group of friends. It wasn’t a trait he was proud of, but the pretty girl he called his girlfriend claimed not to mind and he had to trust her on that.

It was later that night that the discussion had been brought up once more since that night in his car after Draco’s party.

Theo had picked her up and she was tipsy in his bathroom taking her makeup off with the makeup wipes he had bought for her after a night out when she didn’t have anything to take her make up off and had whined the whole night.

“Be quiet, I’lll buy you some tomorrow.” He had grumbled when they were in bed and all he wanted to do was sleep after hearing her moan and groan for the last forty-five minutes.

“My friends thought it was weird when you rang me.” He wasn’t sure she really knew what she was saying, but her words still made him sit up in his bed where he was waiting for her to join.

“What do you mean?” Her eyes were closed as she stumbled back into the bathroom to put the wipes away. Theo had already dressed her in her pyjamas and he watched her stumble back to the bed to join him.

As she pulled the blanket up she giggled out, “They think it’s controlling.”

“What did you say?” He asked, turning to his side and putting his weight on his elbow so he was looking down at the pretty girl with her head on the pillow.

“I said,” her eyes were closed and she finally opened them to meet his, “you have no idea.”

Theo frowned and before he could move to turn the other way, her hand shot up and grabbed his jaw.

“You know I love it.”

PLUS ONE

you were invited to the company's yearly Christmas party, and everybody is required to bring a plus one. your co-workers start teasing you about bringing your imaginary boyfriend to the party, betting amongst themselves that you'd show up to the party and go home alone, not knowing who your boyfriend actually is.

characters: boyfriend!jaehyun x female reader

word count: 947

genre: i can't think of anything to perfectly describe this, but maybe some fluff? a bit of romance? anyway, it's basically just jaehyun being your hot & handsome bf

warnings: very slight workplace bully!ng (or teasing among workmates tho). that's it.

disclaimer: this is entirely fiction. pic not mine — full credits to the owner. strictly do not re-upload or translate anywhere else! lowercase intended. not proofread.

"so, uhm, where's this boyfriend you told us about?" one of your co-workers asked in a teasing tone.

it was just last week when your manager had started distributing the invitation letters for the Christmas party, which was a yearly thing, but you were taken by surprise when it was announced that each attendee must bring a plus one, and that everybody is required to attend, or else a "penalty" awaits. you weren't even sure if the whole penalty thing was true, but you didn't have any plans on risking your job.

you were just peacefully taking a sip of wine when your so-called department friends made their way to you, suddenly asking you for your plus one's whereabouts. you let out a nervous laugh, trying to look as calm as possible.

"h-he's already on his way," you quietly replied, but it was true. jaehyun did text you not too long ago that he's already in the car and that he'll be at the venue soon. it hasn't been that long since you started working for the company, and as much as you wanted to make friends with everybody, it was just too difficult for you. especially if you're surrounded by the not-so pleasing type of people.

you didn't miss the exchanged glances, followed by some snickering from your colleagues (which you believe they "tried" to hide).

"well, we look forward to meeting him," one of your colleagues said. "i mean, if someone does come or whatever." they added, snorting along with the others. you gave them a nervous smile, wishing that jaehyun would arrive fast.

feeling a bit more anxious by the minute, you took out your phone and was about to give jaehyun a call to ask for an update when you faintly heard some whispering and some people gasping.

"oh. my. god." one of your colleagues said.

"isn't that..." you heard another one say.

you looked at them, a bit confused as to why so many of them looked so stunned, some even covering their mouths in shock, like they just saw an alien or something. you decided to look at the direction they were looking at. and you finally understood why.

jaehyun was walking towards your direction, his dimples in full display as he was smiling your way. he just looked so perfect. like a sculpture that came to life.

jaehyun works as a model. with his handsome looks and chiseled body, it didn't take long before he took the modelling industry by storm. he was named as one of the country's top models — walking on the runway for high-fashion brands, appearing in numerous tv commericials and billboards, getting featured in magazines many times a year, and endorsing countless brands. you could amost see his face everywhere you go.

your relationship with him was definitely one of the things you never expected to happen in your life. he was a celebrity while you were just a regular girl who had a 9-5 job. regardless, jaehyun fell in love with you and never gave up on pursuing you even after you have rejected him multiple times. you were honestly unsure about your future with dating someone like him, but the consistent effort he made throughout those months of pursuing you was what made you say yes to him. and you were glad you did because he has been nothing but everything you ever asked for in a man.

you gave him a shy smile before taking a glance around you. you could see everyone looking at your boyfriend in awe. it seemed like he was walking on a runway, only that he was walking towards you. his eyes looking at you and only you.

"hey, beautiful" jaehyun said, his smile growing bigger, dimples becoming even more visible when he was finally in front of you. he took your hand and kissed the back of it. "i'm sorry i took so long. i swear i would have flown the car if i could." he added.

you swore you could see everyone looking at the two of you now. the whispers have become a lot more audible, with some taking out their phones to take pictures. the attention at that moment felt a bit too much, but what can you say? it's the one and only jeong jaehyun.

"no, babe, it's alright. i'm just glad you got here safely," you answered, smiling shyly at him. "thanks for coming."

jaehyun pulled you lightly for a quick hug, not missing a kiss on the top of your head. "of course. anything for the love of my life." he said. you could smell the perfume you gave him as a gift for his birthday, which was also Valentine's day.

breaking away from the hug, you turned to look at your colleagues (who were now gawking at the sight of you both) in amusement.

"guys, meet my boyfriend, jeong jaehyun" you said, already feeling your confidence go up again. you glanced up at jaehyun with a proud smile.

"nice to meet you all. i'm jeong jaehyun, her boyfriend" jaehyun said as he flashed them one of the most beautiful smiles they have ever seen. "and soon-to-be husband." he continued.

although you were blushing so hard after what he has said, you gave him a shy smile before turning your attention back to your colleagues, who were still looking so stupidly at the both of you.

"i told you guys i wasn't making things up about having a boyfriend," you said, trying to sound nonchalant. "and the one and only jeong jaehyun at that."

you smiled to yourself in victory, feeling so content with the look of stupidity on their faces.

- end.

a/n: the story's all over the place, i know. my brain's not working 100%, but I really want to write something :') sorry, and thank you in advance if you finished this story (and maybe, just maybe, liked it as well) i'll post better stuff soon! 💚

On March 13th 1947, the musical Brigadoon opened at the Ziegfeld Theatre, in New York City.

Brigadoon, a musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe that tells the story of a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every hundred years, though to the villagers, the passing of each century seems no longer than one night.

Two American tourists, Tommy and Jeff, lost in the Scottish Highlands, stumble upon Brigadoon. The schoolmaster, a Mr. Lundie, explains to them that two hundred years ago, the local parish pastor prayed to God to have Brigadoon disappear, only to reappear for one day every 100 years, to protect the village from being changed by the outside world. None of the people of Brigadoon can be permitted to leave the town or it will disappear forever.

By now, Tommy is falling in love with one of the villagers, Fiona. Tommy asks Mr. Lundie if an outsider could be permitted to stay. Mr. Lundie replies, “A stranger can stay if he loves someone here – not jus’ Brigadoon, mind ye, but someone in Brigadoon – enough to want to give up everythin’ an’ stay with that one person. Which is how it should be. ‘Cause after all, lad, if he love someone deeply, anythin’ is possible.”

Tommy has fears and doubts about the strangeness of the situation, and he and Jeff go back to New York. But Tommy can’t forget Fiona. Months later, the two men travel again to the spot where Brigadoon was; as expected, there’s nothing there. Tommy laments, “Why do people have to lose things to find out what they really mean?” Just as he and Jeff turn to leave, they hear the music again (“Brigadoon”), and Mr. Lundie appears. Tommy walks across the bridge to him, as Mr. Lundie explains: “You shouldna be too surprised, lad. I told ye when ye love someone deeply, anythin’ is possible. Even miracles.” Tommy waves goodbye to Jeff, who stares incredulously as Tommy and Mr. Lundie disappear into the mist.

The wonderful music includes “Brigadoon,” “I’ll Go Home with Bonnie Jean,” “The Heather on the Hill,” and “Almost Like Being in Love"

The original theatrical musical ran for 581 performances. It starred David Brooks, Marion Bell, Pamela Britton, and Lee Sullivan. In 1949, Brigadoon opened at the West End theatre and ran for 685 performances; many revivals have followed. AMost of us will know Brigadoon from the 1954 film version which starred Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, and a 1966 television version starred Robert Goulet and Peter Falk, yes Columbo himself!

I can’t speak for the theatre version, but I looked through the cast of Brigadoon, and naturally there are no Scots in the movie, we have Americans and English, we even have a Welshman and a Northern Irishman but, like the village itself the Scots are missing!

guess what?

the owner of the hostel me and my gf are currently living and working in, for almost a year now, decided to threaten to throw us out…

so my gf is currently an equal partner with the owner of this hostel we live in, she does all the contability and basically runs the place by herself, while the owner is in the other side of the globe, and is not here to see the day to day things…

but the owner is not treating her as an equal partner and is being very racist and homophobic twoards us (this has been happening for a while but now things got unmanageable)…

the owner still demands things of her as if my gf was still just an employee and not an equal in the decision making of things (she started as manager but then they decided to make her partner). the thing is: she doesn’t pay any salary to my gf bc they “share the profits”

however, before the partnership, my gf had a fixed salary. in the proposal of the partnership, she was promised to make a little more money by the end of the year, when is the most demand and where we receive more guests here, so it was an amazing opportunity for us (to try and make some savings), to stay here in the slow part of the year (when there’s amost no guests), getting paid less than when she had a fixed salary. we believed we’d have a return for the months we spent here *not getting paid*

and now that the high demand of the year is getting closer, and right when we were about to start getting something in return after two months of not getting paid and having to deal with all the expenses from the hostel, having absolutely no profit in the end of those 2 months, the owner decided the partnership is “not working anymore” when the reality is that if it wasn’t for my gf, this place simply would deteriorate very fast bc it’s in the middle of the atlantic forest, and nature doesn’t wait.

she clearly doesn’t see my gf as an equal and still sees her as an employee rather than her equal partner. she’s clearly just wanting to exploit someone as long as it’s convenient to her, and now that the profits will start showing up, she doesn’t want the partnership anymore…

it’s rather sordid bc she’s clearly just trying to find anything to justify the dismantling of the partnership.

also she was supposed to pay the last salary (two months ago) to my gf and she still hasn’t

it’s ridiculous and outrageous

exploiting someone for the months when she doesn’t have money to pay a salary is very easy, but then when it comes the time to share the actual profits that’ll come, then suddenly there’s something wrong with the partnership…

it’s very suspicious to say the least…

anyways, moral of the story is: we wanna get out of here, as you might’ve guessed. this situation is very difficult and we just haven’t left yet bc we don’t have a place to stay other than here nor have the resources to leave.

the situation has become very uncomfortable and idk what else to do… the plan is to make enough money to buy a car so we can at least have a place to sleep while we don’t find another place to volunteer in.

also my gf can work as an uber if we have a car

so i made this goal to try and make this money, so we can buy a car and get out of here ASAP bc we’re DONE being exploited… this should help us start over…

my ko-fi page is in my bio, in case you wanna help us out! thank you!✨

i’m so angry about all of this… it’s unbelievable that someone has the nerve to do something like this and treat people like this, and still think they’re on the right side…

anyways, share this post if you wanna help us out! we really need it… and i’d love to draw something for you!! thank you✨

For the fanfic questions thing:

Are there any writers that inspire you?

What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

Which character(s) do you find most difficult to write?

for 1. @pointsfortrying 🫵 rye you have altered my writing style in UNSPEAKABLE ways....... honestly everyone from the 'recent' dst rp scene (recent being since around 2021 onward. which sounds CRAZY when i say it out loud. that's amost 3 years ago) has been SO fun to engage with and everyone's styles are so silly and awesome... its so much fun having other people's writing methods slowly rub off on me.

for 2 that is. a really good question honestly. going off of exclusively the ones i've published on ao3 (not only for convenience's sake but also because those are all probably some of my best work to begin with) i would say it's a tie between Such Lovely Feathers On Your Turncoat and I Owe You One (or two, or three...), both ieytd related works.

i really like the former because it's one of my slim few fics that are simultaneously self indulgent, but also polished enough that i don't feel embarrassed to reread. it's also my most popular modern fic by a landslide, which makes a lot of sense- everyone loves a good torture fic. but the latter i really like because everything just flows so unusually nicely for it being as long as it is. honestly i surprised myself with just how smoothly everything felt. i took out several scenes that i only realized in hindsight didn't even really need to be there at all. i felt like it really taught me something about where i want to take my writing style in the modern day

as for 3. and just to keep this simple i'll stick with the dst cast. but characters that don't frequently get a lot of screentime from other artists are usually the ones i find harder to write. in feed the roses, for instance, i'm writing with the entire pre-dst cast, and characters like webber and wolfgang have been really giving me a run for my money. wicker would have been too but thankfully @zestinator5000 has been there to fill my mind with visions of gramma grandeur and it has become inordinately easier. ty zesty mwah mwah

The ancient door slid open with the harsh scrape of stone on stone, and light flodded into the chamber for the first time in centuries. A dwarf strode inside, looking around at the intricately carved stone coffin on the far side of the room and the statues and murals leading up to it.

A second dwarf followed her in, holding a torch aloft. "Are you sure about this, Galena?" This doesn't seem like the kind of place the Moldovans would have put a magic sword."

"Come on, Hematite, it totally is! It's a tomb, they probably buried it with its last wielder or something."

"Sure, but..." Hematite looked around at the murals on the walls. Though faded with age, she could make out bits and pieces- throny vines, flames, a large dark figure. "This doesn't feel like the kind of place you'd bury a hero."

Galena shrudded. "Moldovia fell thousands of years ago, we have no idea what their culture was like. Maybe to them, this place screams 'hero.'" She started walking toward the coffin. "Now are you gonna help me open this thing, or go back and tell the boss you got scared and gave up right at the end?"

Instead of doing either, Hematite continued to examine the room. Something was bothering her about it. The statues... they were all facing away from the door, toward the coffin. Almost as if they weren't guarding it, but instead...

Hematite's eyes went wide. "Galena, wai-"

THOOM

A massive wave of force rushed from the open coffin, sending both dwarves flying backwards, slamming them against the far wall and holding them there. Hematite dropped her torch on impact, leaving the room illuminated only by the deep purple glow spilling forth from the coffin.

Cracks started to run through the walls as a figure slowly from the coffin. It looked to be a human woman, wrapped in chains from the neck down, long dark hair dangling from her head. Her eyes opened, shining with the same purple glow emanating from the coffin, and all the chains shattered as one, revealing a sleek black dress beneath.

The woman stretched her arms, rotating into an upright position as the glow faded from her eyes. "Finally. I was amost starting to get bored in there." She spoke with a casual air, seemingly unaffected both physically and mentally by the maelstrom of energy around her. "Now, where's my..." she glanced around her, then shook her head. "Ugh, those Moldovians. Burying a girl without her staff, so rude. Oh well, can't hurt to start fresh."

She beckoned with one finger, and Hematite floated off the wall towards her. "W-what are you- GRAAH!" She was cut off by a cry of pain as the woman started to rotate her finger. Hematite's skin started to ripple, her limbs convulsing as she screamed, until with a sickening wet squelch, the woman pulled the blood from her veins. Galena could only watch in horror as Hematite's body withered, her skin tightening against her bones, her eyes shrivelling away to nothing, her scream fading to a choking death rattle, until she finally fell silent, her dessicated corpse dropping to the ground with a thud.

The blood swirled around the sorceress, coalescing into a solid shape in front of her- a gleaming crimson staff. The woman grabbed it, looking it over admiringly. "There, that's much better." Her attention turned to the remaining dwarf, and she drifted over to Galena. "Now, I believe I have you to thank for letting me out of that musty old thing. What's your name, sweetheart?"

Galena could only stare up at her, frozen in shock and fear. This woman had just... she'd killed Hematite like it was nothing. Destroyed her with a wave of a finger. Just because she wanted a staff? Beneath the fear, a ember of white-hot rage started to burn.

The woman pouted. "Oh come now, don't be shy. Look, I'll start- I'm Zoris, Grand Sorceress of Darkness." She leaned down until her face was inches from Galena's. "Now you!"

Galena felt her tongue move within her mouth, vocal cords expanding and contracting on their own. "Galena Roughred. Freelance adventurer."

Zoris smiled. This close, Galena could see that her teeth were as sharp as daggers. "There you go! Now, was that so difficult?"

Galena tried to fight against her grip, to say something, to but the magic holding her in place was too strong. All she managed to do was wrench her gaze away from Zoris's face.

The sorceress straightened up. "Well, Galena, I'd love to stay and chat, but I'm a very busy woman. I do owe you for releasing me though..." Zoris put a hand on her chin. "Maybe a boon of power? No, you'd just keep coming back for more. A transfiguration? Too messy." Another tremor rocked the chamber. Zoris snapped her fingers. "Oh, I know! You probably don't want to be down here when this place comes down. Ta ta!"

"No, wait-" Before Galena could get another word in, she was sent rocketing back up the way she'd came, through the corridors, traps, and stairways she had descended with Hematite only moments before. As soon as she burst out of the tunnel into the sunlight, she felt the grip on her vanish, and she let out an involuntary cry as she tumbled roughly to the ground. She scrambled to her feet, rushing back towards the tunnel entrtance. "No, no, no-"

A final, massive tremor rocked the ground, and Galena stumbled, struggling to maintain her balance as rocks crashed around her. As soon as she regained her footing, she turned back towards the tunnel entrance, and-

There was no tunnel entrance. The ancient tomb had collapsed, the entryway filled with rock and debris.

Galena stared at the rubble for a long moment.

She felt her knees buckle beneath her, and she fell, letting out a long, wordless scream.

HOW HAS IT BEEN RECENTLY?

Smooth sailing, nice and quiet again. That’s probably from the Bitch Be Gone spray haha. Some still occasionally try to start a convo by laughing at the crazy fans I got as a not so subtle way of bringing them up as a conversation though. But the general consensus is that they are just drama llamas, obsessed with me, and at this point just laughable at how bitter they are that life has been great to me and not them.

It’s fun seeing but not as fun as the time I have in the groups I made and run and those I staff on. Joined a couple of others to where my posting is laxed. Had a few questions on there since I did use the Nolan alias but they just felt sorry that I had some stalker still.

WHY ARE THEY SO OBSESSED STILL AMOST A DECADE LATER?

Because they have no life outside of thinking of me? I had a recent conversation with several people about things like this and how some people just get an almost sex like high over assholes to other people. It ranges from their own lives being shitty, having no purpose in life, or just being too stressed from having to live that they get a thrill out of making up drama, bullying others, and stressing others out online. It helps with how easy it is to keep yourself hidden, pretend to be someone else, spread make up stories enough that people subconscious register things as ‘fact’ since they heard it so many times.

In my own experience, I just happened to piss off one person who had an over inflated sense of self worth and ego. A narcissist who believed they were too good for anyone to dare not like and worse, openly show they didn’t like this person. So their need to get a thrill out of being a bully, a stalker, and their narcissistic patterns had forced them to DARVO me while making sure that if this one person who was so important in the rpc hated me then everyone else had to as well.

It’s also irony that this person would then later delete everything and instruct people to stop harassing and talking about me and their issue with me then leave the rpc. It also is extremely telling that everyone else has also given up on it. Everyone that Raven questioned 10 years ago has since admitted that they either start up lied about what they told Raven or blamed things going on in their groups on me because it was just easier than admitting they had fights with other people.

It’s not just people I never interacted with or friends of a friend of the person who admitted they made up their story that seem to wanna keep stalking me.

Was I the perfect gentleman who never did anything? Nah. I would post and continue to be part of communities back then thinking there were no issues if no one said anything. How was I meant to know that sending someone an ask asking them if they saw my post and were planning to reply was a bad thing when they messaged me how sorry they were for not doing so yet and would do that in the hour? Or that how I posted making my own character move around in posts was being a friend who never said anything feel like he was being power played because he felt he had to react to everything I made my character do instead of plan out their own post their own way? Especially when they would tell me they loved my posts and would post within minutes all day with me?

But as long as no one said anything negative, I always just assumed things were good. And to be honest, I didn’t give a shit and fully made myself believe that as long as no one came to me about anything or said anything publicly then everything was fine. If they did, we talked and I did everything I could til they said they were good again and went back to my delulu thinking it’s all fine. And if something like what happened on WOTNA went down where they suddenly turned hostile and were coming at me, I swung back and hit them harder than they hit me. It’s been TEN YEARS now I’ve learned not to just think everything is great just because people laugh and smile and talk with me like we’re best friends. I’ve learned a lot of people keep things in because they think someone will go off on them if they say anything. That I have to take this possibility into consideration and check in with people more and more.

Growth and making sure everyone is happy and good is something that happens in life. While the latter may be a goal we will never truly achieve, I just always believed back then that as long as no one said anything they were happy. Growth is hard and at times confusing but some of us can do it. I have, but it seems my fans are still in that immature mindset of thinking bullying and harassing someone is fun and good to do as long as that person is ‘the bad guy’ in their eyes. They haven’t matured or grown but dived deeper in their insecurities and immature child like way of thinking. It’s sad and they really need to talk to someone about it.

As for those that made up rather insane stories about me….. I dunno never knew these people existed or just didn’t care about them as I never knew them or interacted in any way. Get some help? Or at least try to get better? I know a lot of you guys are eternal victims of multiple people and/or are the types that get a thrill out of being bullies and then play victim so everyone gives you internet hugs. Poor creatures. When you have to make yourself known as a victim just to get the satisfaction that Internet strangers feel sorry for you…. Well, there something wrong with you mentally and you really need to talk to someone or just move on from the internet. Especially those of you who are parents, why do internet strangers matter to you at all?

A HISTORY LESSON Do you know what happened 166 years ago this summer? California became a State! The people had no electricity. There was no plan to charge electric vehicles. The state had no money. Amost everyone spoke Spanish. There were gunfights in the street. Wild fires raged out of control. There was no water storage to catch rains for drinking water. The roads were rutted and nearly impassable. So basically NOTHING has changed except back then, the women had real breast and men did not hold hands. AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS YOUR HISTORY LESSON FOR TODAY.. YOU’RE WELCOME. (at California, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiiOYROJfRP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It appears you kinda like VM! Did you live the comeback live or retrospectively? If live, was it a trip? I can’t imagine the absolute high of anticipating their performances and then watching their power and skill and talent be validated by gold upon gold. Tell me it was awesome...I’m so sad for not having lived it.

Yeah, I would say I’m a bit of a fan...

I actually discovered skating and vm back in 2010 in Vancouver, all of Canada tuned in to watch those olympics and there was extra focus on ice dance since it was the only skating discipline we had a gold medal contender in -- so I did very much live the comeback and it was a total fucking trip start to finish. Feels like a strange fever dream that I must have made up. I cried for a hot minute when they finally won the GPF in 2016 and had to listen to people talk about how they could never beat p/c and how ice dance had changed since they’d left, etc.

Between Sochi and the comeback I completely forgot what being stressed out over skating felt like and it was a rude awakening that first Skate Canada in 2016 when they just barely beat Chock and Bates, a terrifying time between SC and NHK, and then the biggest relief when they came out swinging and just demolished everyone.

I’m glad you got to discover vm in general though and to go back and live it retrospectively, it’s still a trip watching those two seasons unfold. A few days ago I watched every Prince from ACI to Worlds and had a grand old time!

#it was SUCH a trip #legit still doesnt feel real #2018 olympics were amost TWO years ago #fucked up #konner talks skating #im sorry you're sad for not having lived it #sending warm fuzzies #<3 #Anonymous
