#and also bc he was good at some things that pyros wasn't and vice versa

found myself thinking of Blaise this afternoonsies, and how his courtship/post war life was like.

Cause like. You know. His brother is defeated, his parents are DEAD, he abolishes the monarchy bc fuck it. it's stupid. So now he works with Mother Nature to establish the democracy esque thing Crystal Springs is, and like, I'm sure that was a LOT but like I'm thinking specifically about his PERSONAL life right??

Like. He would NOT want to go back to live in the castle, even IF they hadn't imprisoned Pyros in there. Where did he live, you know? Did he sleep in MN's Garden until City Hall was built? Maybe it already WAS built? Did he go to Winter like hey, cool first date idea--wanna help me find my own place? :3

Just thinking of Blaise like, getting his LIFE together is plaguing my THOUGHTS. All of that PLUS he's crushing HARD on Winter (and she on him) and they're sort of seeing each other a few decades after the civil war, and just. MY BRAIN IS GOING CRAZY Y'ALL!

BLAISE! HECK! PUTTING YOUR LIFE TOGETHER AFTER LEAVING A TOXIC SITUATION! THAT FEELING WHEN YOU FINALLY MOVE OUT AND GET TO ADULT! DID HE GET A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT IN A TREE SOMEWHERE WITH JUST A MATTRESS? AND DID WINTER GO "We'll have to hunt down some furniture for you" but Blaise, with this big smile, looking at his mattress and chair and desk just like "This is PERFECT right now :)"

They establish the Assembly, the cities and towns establish their own leaders, there's a group of reps from each province elected to serve on the assembly, and slowly but surely crystal springs is becoming this wonderful place, and Blaise is getting good at leading the BIG CITY, enough that each election he sails through it.

And maybe he thinks to himself like, "do they keep voting me in bc I'm good? or bc they're so use to a monarchy that they don't want to change things up?" not that he minds, of course, he loves what he and Mother Nature have turned the city, the provinces, THE COUNTRY into!

He and Winter go on many dates and he showers her with roses and he decides to propose and they talk about where they'd live and how many kids they'd have and do you think they could manipulate BOTH ELEMENTS? And he finally proposes and Wintr THAWS bc of their LOVE and it's al so MUCH and they break into city hall to elope the day OF, trouble be DAMNED and how nice is it to be free? Fuck! fucking EH! I did NOT expect BLAISE FEELS to be a thing today and YET

I AM HAVING FEELINGS, ABOUT BLAISE, CATCH ME CRYING AT MY DESK!

#blaise #crystal springs #did winter get her sisters to help make furniture out of NATURE for him?? #even tho he was just happy to have freedom? #bc that's REALLY what it boils down to #he doesn't have to answer to his mother or father anymore #he doesn't have to try and live up to IMPOSSIBLE standards #there's no more competing with his twin #but he feels a pang of sadness bc he loved his brother. he still DOES and NEVER competed bc it was DUMB #and also bc he was good at some things that pyros wasn't and vice versa #does he think to himself man. if pyros hadn't cracked we'd be co-ruling this shiz and making it a better place together??? #HE DOES. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT #IT'S JUST ALL VERY BITTERSWEET AND I'M SOBBING
