#and then finale - 196 / 197 / 200

[its-your-mind]

*deep breath in*

the fears 👏 have always 👏 been (in one way or another) 👏 parallel 👏 to 👏 desire 👏

let me explain.

so many of the statements given by actual avatars center around some sort of need that was met by their entity. Lots of them even had a positive relationship with the fear that drove them.

Jane Prentiss is an excellent example - the Corruption has always been about a form of toxic and possessive love, but she personally has a deep desire to be “fully consumed by what loves her,” and finds a perverse joy and relief at allowing herself to be a home

Jude Perry is another - she fucking loved watching people’s lives be utterly destroyed. The Desolation only offered her a power of destruction on a grander scale, and then gave her a more intense rush of joy as she did its work. When she tells Jon that he needs to feed the Eye before it feeds on him, it’s almost as an afterthought; she was happily feeding the Desolation long before it burned her into a new existence.

Simon Fairchild. Every time that old loose bag of bones wanders into the picture, he is having a fucking EXCELLENT time playing with the Vast. He loves showing people their own insignificance, and he loves luring them into situations where he can throw them into the void as he smiles and waves.

Peter Lukas (hell, the whole Lukas family (except Evan. RIP Evan.)) hated. people. all he wanted was for them all to go away, to leave him alone. The Lonely only fulfilled that desire.

Daisy, Trevor, and Julia, all devoted to hunting those things they deemed monstrous.

Melanie, holding tight to that bullet in her leg because on some level, she wanted it. It felt good, it felt right, it felt like it fit right alongside the anger and spite that drove her to success.

Annabelle Cane first encountered the Web when she was a child, running away from home in order to tug on her parents’ heartstrings in just the right way to have them wrapped around her little finger. Later on she volunteered to be the subject of an ESP study. Hell, she’s the one who dangled the “Is it really You that wants this?” question over Jon’s head in S4.

And that brings us to Jon, beloved Jarchivist, the Voice that Opened the Door. Ever since he was a child targeted by the Web, he was looking for answers. He joined the Magnus Institute’s Research Department looking for them, he stalked his coworkers in search for them, he broke into Gertrude’s flat and laptop out of desperation for them. And when he realized that all he had to do was Ask to get truthful answers to his questions? It was only natural for him to jump at that opportunity.

Elias told S3 Jon that he did want this, that he chose it, that at every crossroads he kept pushing onwards, and the inner turmoil that caused was one of the focal points for Jon’s character through the rest of the podcast.

There’s a certain line of thinking in many circles about the power of the Devil: he’s not able to create anything new. All he’s able to do is twist and warp that which was already present, making it something ugly and profane while still maintaining the facade of something desirable.

Jon didn’t choose the Eye. But he did wander into its realm of power, exhibiting exactly the qualities it was most capable of hijacking and warping to its own ends. Jon didn’t choose the Apocalypse. But Jonah picked at him little by little, pointing him towards each Fear individually. Jon didn’t want to release the Fears. But the Web tugged on his strings just so and laid a pretty trail for him to follow until he reached its desired conclusion.

Jon didn’t choose ultimate power, or omniscience, or even his own role as Head Archivist. But he said “yes” to the right (wrong?) orders and kept on pushing for the right (wrong?) answers. He wanted to succeed at the work he had been assigned. He wanted to protect his friends. He wanted to rescue them when they were lost. He wanted to prevent the apocalypse, to save the world. He wanted to know why he was still alive, when so many had died right in front of him.

The Great Wheel of Evil Color that is the Entities might not fit as neatly into categories in this universe - maybe there was no Robert Smirke trying to impose strict categories on emotional experiences, or maybe the ways they manifest in the world has turned on its head (goodness knows many of them have been showcased and blended in some very fun and new and horrifying ways so far) - but their fundamental foundations seem to be the same. Hell, in episode one we learned that there had been enough individual incidents to create a distinction between “dolls, watching” and “dolls, human skin.”

Smirke’s Fourteen isn’t going to be relevant as common parlance, RQ said that already, but I don’t think that means the Fears themselves (and their Dream Logic-based rules) are different - I think it means that the levels of understanding, language used, and personal connections among people “in the know” are going to be entirely unfamiliar

-

Day four in the hospital and she was a mix of emotions. Yeah she was going home and yeah she was good enough to…but she didn’t want to leave the twins there. Rooster waited for her when she looked back at the hospital doors, chewing her lower lip, “Gorgeous.”

“I know.”

“They’ll be okay.”

She clenches her bag with both hands, then exhales, “...I know.” she moves forward but her head cranes back towards the hospital, Rooster has one of his hands on her lower back,guiding her to the Bronco, ‘They’ll let us know…of  anything.”

“I know.” and he opens the door for her, “We’ll visit them again,yeah?’ Beatrice looks back at him finally, with a little smile on her face followed by a nod and finally hops inside the car. Nicole’s happy little ‘mama!’ was heard by Rooster as he walked around to the driver’s side.

He understands Beatrice’s hesitation, he was there with her every time they went to the NICU and checked on the twins. It was a constricting feeling, he had to admit, because he too wanted to take them home. Having children was something, it changes your whole perspective on what’s important and what’s not and right now he desires to have those tiny beings home to stay with the slightly larger tiny being that’s currently on the back seat.

On the bright side, Nicole’s personality made Beatrice smile as soon as he got in. Their oldest, God feels crazy to think Nicole is their oldest daughter, was currently telling Beatrice in her very own words what happened before they got to the hospital. She was also shaking her giraffe, “Is that new?’ Beatrice asks with a small smile, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen her with that.”

“I got it for her when we were shopping for the twins’ nursery.” he smiles, turning the engine on and driving away from the hospital. It still hurt both of them but it was what they could do right now, nothing more,nothing less, “And it was better than the 200 piece jet fighter that she wanted.”

“It’s cute.” Beatrice says, looking back at Nicole and reaching for her little hand with one of hers, “I like it,do you like your new friend Nikki?” Nicole kept babbling and shaking her stuffed giraffe as Beatrice kept her hand back but torso forward, sighing on her seat.

“You okay?”

“I am…kinda tired.” she laughs weakly, “Weird considering I spent the whole week lying down and yet I feel exhausted.” her eyes moved to the outside that was rushed by them when he drove both back home, seeing the environment change from the hospital’s walls to the usual San Diego was a bit of a relief.

Rooster hummed, gently caressing her thigh as he drove them away, “I know, did the doctors say if you need to take anything?”

Beatrice shook her head, her expression a bit distant as she keeps her eyes on the outside. "No, they didn't give me any specific medications," she replied, "just the usual recommendations for postpartum care and rest." she ends with a shrug

Rooster nodded, his grip on the steering wheel steady. "Alright, well, we'll make sure you rest as much as you can once we're back home," he said firmly. "I'll take care of everything, you just focus on recovering and spending time with Nicole."

Beatrice smiled appreciatively, her hand still holding onto Nicole's. "Thank you, Roos," she said softly. "I don't know what I would do without you."

He glanced at her with a warm smile. "You'll never have to find out, because I'll always be here for you," he replied, his voice filled with sincerity.

“Cheesy~”

“Like a quesadilla,gorgeous.” he smirks, and he was glad he managed to sneak a laugh out of her, “You aren’t in any pain,right?”

“No, it feels…weird but it’s not hurting that much anymore. It’s like a dull throb,you know? That’s what it feels like.” she replies, her free hand automatically moving to her lower body and towards the fresh c-section scar. She frowns, “I think this is my first big scar.” she mutters, “I have…tiny ones, but this one is the first that I uh…had to…get,I guess.”

“Scars aren’t that bad.”

Beatrice looks up at him and smiles, ‘Because yours make you look very handsome and badass,right?” the pilot licks his lips,trying to bite back his grin by looking at a stop sign instead, because she got him, “You never elaborated on how you got them.”

“I didn’t?”

“No, you said you got them during school.” she says, “I think…I was a bit drunk that night,Roos.”

The fact both of them remember their time together in detail was…amazing and he knew it was rare. Over time you forgot things…but not them, oh no, he could remember a lot of stuff from the second he saw her face on the bar, “It’s not that fun,honestly.” he murmurs, “I mean, unless you wanna hear it.”

“Yea…when we get home, can you tell me?”

“Sure,gorgeous.” he says, "You wanna nap a bit?”

“Mhmmm.”

She was already out when he looked back at her, the hand that was holding Nicole’s was back on her lap and her head was touching the window as her chest moved up and down slowly. He smiles softly, making sure she was positioned right as he drove, he didn’t want her to wake up cramped or in pain.

He inhales quietly, then blinks his eyes twice…what a fucking week has it been. He knew his leave was going to be different this time, but holy shit that was a complete understatement, huh? He wasn’t complaining, honestly, he was glad even if it was nerve wracking the first few days.

He looked at Nicole through his rearview mirror to check on her and she looked back at him at the same time, giving him a few toothed grin as she kicks her little legs on her seat. He continued to drive, glancing between the road and his daughter from time to time, making sure she was safe and content.

The car ride was peaceful, the rhythmic hum of the engine providing a soothing backdrop,he didn’t want to turn on the radio and wake Bea up. As they approached their home, Rooster couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and anticipation and relief of having her back home. He carefully parked the Bronco, ensuring the ride was smooth and gentle for both Beatrice and Nicole.

Once the car was stationary, Rooster turned off the engine and glanced at Beatrice, who was still peacefully sleeping. He leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, making sure she slowly woke up instead of a sudden jolt. Beatrice groaned, one of her hands coming up to rub her face as she blinked her eyes at him, trying to shake the sleep off, “Roos?”

Rooster smiled softly, his voice gentle, supporting his head with his knuckles as he nestles his elbow on the seat. "Hey there, sleepyhead," he greeted. "We're home."

Beatrice's gaze focused on him, her expression shifting from drowsiness to warmth as she registered their surroundings. She let out a small yawn and stretched slightly, careful not to strain herself. "Home," she repeated with a soft smile, her eyes glancing around the familiar surroundings of their driveway. “...was the Bronco always this comfortable?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Beatrice hummed, slowly pushing herself to a sitting position and running her fingers through her hair, hoping to comb through the tangles without worries, “Felt like the first class seat to me.” she giggles sleepily, her voice still slurred, “Was nice.”

Rooster reached over and unbuckled her seatbelt,  kissing her forehead again "Let's get you inside and comfortable," he said, his voice filled with care. “I’ll get Nikki.”

"Yeah," Beatrice agreed, giving him a grateful look. "Thank you, Roos." she groans a bit, opening the door and stepping out as slowly as she could. The movements pained her a bit but she could handle it, she waited until he was in her sight with Nikki by leaning on the car. Her smile widened as she looked at her hands, playing with her wedding ring.

“What’s that smile?” he asks, holding Nicole with one arm as he locks the car with the other, “That’s pretty nice to see.”

“I was remembering that the first time I leaned on the Bronco you took me out of the bar during a storm.” she says, “...you looked so…so good then,Rooster.God. You should be illegal.”

Her husband’s mouth drops and he lets out a soft laugh, “Illegal? Gorgeous…I could say the same about you to be honest.” he appeared offended only to immediately make her blush just enough for him to see her cheeks turn red and her soft gaze turn to him, “Come on,gorgeous, we gotta go home,gimme your bag.”

He wasn’t going to wait more than that, so she just handed it over to him, “Do you want me to open-” he shakes the keys in his hand as he places the strap on his shoulder, her heart immediately melting because he was out of this world…his mother would be so proud of him.

She hugs herself while waiting for him to open the door, looking around their neighborhood for a little while until she hears him talking to the dogs, telling them to behave and not jump on Beatrice head on - ‘that’s you Ellie’ - before calling her inside with his hand reaching out to her. The dogs were over the moon, full body shaking and tails slamming against walls and furniture, and Beatrice giggled as she petted them all, “Hi guys,I missed you all too.”

“So, first things first,” he says once the door is closed, “I’m going to make you some tea. Can you have some now after the c-section?”

Rooster's question brought her attention back to him, and she thought about it. "Yeah, I think I can have some tea," she replied, moving to settle herself on the couch. "Just maybe not too hot, please." 

"Got it," Rooster said, “Any specific ones?” he asks while walking around the dogs but standing close by with Nicole still holding on his neck.

Beatrice purses her lips as she thinks, then shrugs up at him with a little smile, “Surprise me.”

“Oh I can surprise you.” he winks, setting Nicole down by the living room so she waddles to her play mat and Beatrice slowly stands up, following her daughter to the couch. She sighs, inhaling the smell of cleaning supplies and his cologne that hang on the air before she sits down on the soft cushions.

Nicole, who is right in front of her, looks back and grins, “Mama! “ 

“Hi sweetie.” Beatrice replies quietly, body still demanding some rest as her eyes flutter shut, “I can hear you.”

There’s some ruffling from her side and she peeks her eye open, seeing Nicole just climb on the couch with so much ease. She blinks her eyes then, then straightens herself, “...you are big enough to climb the couch.” she whispers in amazement, “Holy moly,Nikki.”

Nicole just giggled at her, snuggling up to her side. Beatrice clenches her eyes because their daughter was painfully cute and just didn’t move…because why would she. While she was in the living room she heard Rooster talking to someone, she couldn’t figure out who it was because he was far away but she tried to figure out by the way he was speaking.

He didn’t sound angry, nor worried - so it wasn’t the hospital, thank God. He just appeared to be talking calmly to whoever it was…she tilted her head towards the kitchen, seeing her husband’s broad frame move from left to right as he holds the kettle on his other hand.

He was so cute.

She looks back at Nicole as their daughter snuggled up beside her. The warmth of Nicole's small body against her own brought a sense of comfort to Beatrice, soothing her tired muscles and easing her worries. She shifted slightly to accommodate Nicole's body, then glanced down at her daughter with a soft smile.

"Looks like you're getting more and more independent, huh?" Beatrice whispered to Nicole, her fingers gently combing through the toddler's hair. "Climbing on the couch all by yourself."

Nicole responded with a delighted giggle, her eyes shining as she looked up at her mother. She wrapped an arm around Nicole, holding her close as they sat together on the couch, her eyes fluttering shut again as she waited for Rooster to come back.

"They want me to do what?" Rooster's voice held a mixture of surprise and incredulity as he continued his conversation in the kitchen, his tone low but clear. “When?”

Beatrice's curiosity was piqued by his words, and she couldn't help but listen in on his conversation, even though she knew she probably shouldn't. She shifted slightly on the couch, adjusting her position and still keeping Nicole close. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she strained to hear more of what Rooster was saying.

In the kitchen, Rooster's brows were furrowed as he listened to the person on the other end of the line. He leaned against the countertop, his fingers tapping a rhythm that reflected his contemplation. "I mean, I get that it's important, but it's a lot to ask on such short notice."

There was a pause as the person on the line presumably responded. Rooster let out a sigh, his expression a mixture of frustration and resignation. "Yeah, I understand the urgency, but I'll need to make arrangements. My wife just gave birth and I need to stay with her."

Beatrice could tell from his tone that this was something work-related and potentially demanding. She glanced at Nicole, who was now half-asleep against her, and then back at Rooster.

After a few more minutes of conversation, Rooster finally ended the call with a terse "Alright, I'll see what I can do." He let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair, his shoulders tense.

Beatrice decided it was time to let him know she had been listening. She gently shifted Nicole, who had fully succumbed to sleep, so that she was lying down on the couch. Then, she slowly stood up, making her way to the kitchen where Rooster was.

He looked up as she entered the kitchen, his expression softening when he saw her. "Hey, gorgeous."

"Hey," she replied, her voice gentle. "Everything alright?"

Rooster let out a sigh, leaning back against the countertop. "Yeah, just…they want to talk to me,that’s all.”

“About what?”

“Well…” he purses his lips, still tapping his fingers on the counter, “They want to know if me and Mav can give another class to new pilots, next week.”

“Next week? But you are still on leave?”

Rooster nodded, his expression a mix of frustration and concern. "Yeah, that's the thing. They want it done as soon as possible, and I get it, it's important. But I also want to be here with you and the kids." he shakes his head, pouring the water inside the mug and watching as the tea bag soaked it up.

Beatrice walked over to him, her hand gently reaching out to touch his arm. "You sound a bit annoyed.”

“A little.”

She smiles, hugging him from behind and pressing her temple to his muscular back, “You did amazing before, you’ll do amazing again. I can handle a few moments alone.” Rooster makes a sound,a displeased one, on his throat, “Can I maybe visit you? At the base?”

“Visit me?” he stops pouring to look at her, eyes slightly wide, “Baby…”

“Well,I don’t know…I never did…can I? It’d be only me if you are worried, Nikki can stay with my parents? It won’t be long.”

Rooster glanced down at her, his expression softening as he met her gaze. "You really want to come to the base, huh?"

Beatrice nodded, her arms still wrapped around him. "I do. I mean, if it's allowed and it won't be too much of a hassle."

He turned around, facing her fully, and placed his hands on her waist. "It's not that I don't want you to come, Bea. It's just... the base can be a bit hectic, especially if we're doing training sessions with new recruits. I don't want you to get overwhelmed or uncomfortable."

She smiled up at him, her fingers gently tracing patterns on his chest. "I appreciate your concern, Roos. But I think I can handle it. Plus, it'll give me a chance to get out of the house for a bit."

Rooster chuckled, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "Alright, you win. You can come visit me at the base next week. But on one condition..."

Beatrice raised an eyebrow playfully. "Oh? And what's that?"

He grinned mischievously. "You have to promise to stay by my side the whole time, no wandering off. It might be a lot to handle.”

“...you are aware we invaded it once,right?”

“Baby, that was romantic.” he coos, “This, is official.” he arches his brows, “I need to talk to some people, maybe someone will guide you until we can talk, it call depends of the time. There are places on the base you cannot go.” she’s looking at him with those huge green eyes and he just wants to kiss her, but he has to be serious, “And not to mention, there’ll be a lot of people.”

Beatrice chuckled, "Alright, fine, I promise I won't wander off, sir." she said with a mock-salute. "I'll be your official sidekick for the day."

Rooster grinned, his fingers gently tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "That's the spirit. And don't worry, I'll make sure you're well taken care of. You'll get the VIP tour."

"VIP tour?Oooh, I like the sound of that." She leaned up, pressing a sweet kiss to his lips. He hums into her mouth and she leans back when he tries to deepen it, “Roos.”

“Sorry,habit.” he whispers, kissing her forehead this time and exhaling softly, still holding her close, “...you know, maybe with you there, it won’t be so bad. Maybe I’ll also get…good pilots who won’t fuck missions up because they want to play heroes.” he mutters, pressing his lips to her scalp and smelling her scent. She still had the hospital smell clinging to her, even if she took a shower before leaving, but it was still Beatrice.

“Is there anything I shouldn’t do, besides wandering off?”

“Hm…” his voice vibrates on top of her head and she giggles, before he continues, “Let’s see… don’t touch any aircraft, equipment, or anything unless I say it’s okay. Some things can be sensitive or dangerous. And, uh, definitely don’t try to give any impromptu flight lessons to the recruits,” he adds with a chuckle.

Beatrice laughs softly. "Got it, no unauthorized flight lessons. I'll just stick to being an observant sidekick and let you handle the training." she pauses, narrowing her eyes, “Funny that we did that before, that night after we had tacos,Roos.”

“Well,” he smirks, “It was still pretty romantic.”

Best Poké Ball Tournament- Stats Breakdown!

Thanks to all of your votes and continued enthusiasm for the blog, we finally reached the end of this tournament, and I have some stats to share with you all!

Before we get into the stats, this is the last chance to suggest ideas for the next tournament before I run a poll to decide it! You have a couple of days from when this is posted.

Click the read more for the breakdown!

In this tournament, I did less reblogs for each match, and that has led to a lower vote total than last time- but still an impressive 11,922 votes were cast across all 32 matches for an average of 373 votes per match.

When we get into specific Ball stats, things start to get interesting though- let's rank by average vote total per match shall we?

Luxury Ball- 240 (1202 votes across 5 matches)

Strange Ball- 215 (215 votes in 1 match)

Moon Ball- 214 (1072 votes across 5 matches)

Great Ball- 200 (400 votes across 2 matches)

Poké Ball- 153 (153 votes in 1 match) & GS Ball- 153 (153 votes in 1 match)

Net Ball- 151 (151 votes in 1 match)

Fast Ball- 148 (295 votes across 2 matches)

Heavy Ball- 130 (130 votes in 1 match)

Nest Ball- 129 (129 votes in 1 match)

Repeat Ball- 125 (250 votes across 2 matches)

Park Ball- 84 (84 votes in 1 match)

Level Ball- 78 (78 votes in 1 match) & Gigaton Ball- 78 (78 votes in 1 match)

While the Luxury Ball sits on top, as you'd expect, none of our other final four are higher than 8th! This could perhaps be seen as some Balls that didn't do so well may have had more enthusiastic support even if they didn't get as far?

Level Ball- 24.1%

Park Ball- 23.4%

Gigaton Ball- 22.3%

This is probably more of an indicator of how close each Ball's matches were and how much they may have swept... or not! But still, it's surprising that none of the top three in the competition made it to the top three of this list! I think it's fair to say that many of these Balls are very popular, and any tournament to determine the favourite would have been close.

If you like charts, here's what each Ball's total votes compared to the total tournament votes looks like:

(Apologies if it's hard to read, Excel would not play ball with me... ironically.)

To wrap up, let's look at some individual match stats.

The most voted on match was Round 1, Match 3- Luxury Ball vs Heal Ball. It had 496 votes, and showed that the Luxury Ball was popular even from the start! This is closely followed by the Final Match with 490 votes, Luxury Ball vs Moon Ball. That means for the third time in a row, the Finals is the second most popular match- what a coincidence!

The least voted on match was Round 1, Match 11- Nest Ball vs Repeat Ball, at only 304 votes. The second least popular was Round 2, Match 7- Jet Ball vs Dive Ball with 4 more votes at 308.

The closest match this time round was Round 1, Match 2- Lure Ball vs Origin Ball. It had a margin of only 2.4%, or 8 votes! Congratulations to the Origin Ball for that one!

Let's cap off with the biggest sweep, a title that in previous tournaments went to Water Type and Grusha. In this tournament, the biggest sweep goes to... Round 1, Match 1! The match of Quick Ball vs Gigaton Ball ended in a huge 55.4% win margin, or 193 votes. The show started with a bang it seems! Shout out to the Love Ball, Dive Ball, and Moon Ball for all also achieving sweeps with over 50% margins. All of those Balls gain entry to the exclusive 50% sweeper club, joining Water Type, Flying Type, and Ghost Type.

And that's all! If there's any stat I missed that you'd like to see, just drop an ask and I'll fill you in!

Until next tournament, please keep suggesting theme ideas, and keep your eyes peeled for that poll in the next few days. I'm now going to go look at something completely different for several hours- the word Ball looks weird now.

Hi everyone.

I keep falling off track so I’m about to do this one final time. If I fall off track this time, I’m just going to give up. Idc anymore I’m so bothered by how I look and feel all the time.

I keep gaining weight due to me literally just not caring and it’s disgusting. Everyday the number goes higher and I get pissed off and hurt that I just binge. I’m tired of feeling this way.

Anyways here are my stats:

Les Misérables 200/365 -Victor Hugo

191

Marius put on a new outfit when he went put to Luxemburg and pretended not to see Courfeyrac who told his friends he looked stupid. (you mean stupider) Marius listened to the passing bourgeois as he slowly went to the alley until he saw the old man and girl, as he filled with anxiety and made himself look nice as he got near and caught her glance. He walked past her and went home. (how riveting)

192

Madame Bougon (his land lady) noticed Marius was going out in his new coat again, he went to Luxemburg and observed the two at a distance and didn’t go home until it was closed. The third time he did it the Bougon tried to follow but lost sight of him. For two weeks Marius did this subtly, (not as much as you think) watching the two.  

193

At the end of the two weeks the two approached near Marius and he has a mini panic attack, as she passed by she glances at him and he watches as she goes. He tried to find her again on the street when he runs into Courfeyrac who takes him to dinner and a play and breakfast in the morning. Marius had reverted to his old shy self just by her glance, he was in love as a man in his forties enters the unknown, terrifying, transfigured by passion.

194

A life by himself in isolation prepared Marius for this possession of passion, his worship of his father retreated at the depths of his soul as love took the foreground. A month of Marius going every day to Luxemburg, nothing would stop him from going, finally he grew bold and approached them but thought it best not to attract the father's attention, so he hid behind trees. (Don’t Be Suspicious Don’t Be Suspicious~) He suspected the old man noticed and they changed their usual place and no longer brought the daughter every day. (gee wonder how he could’ve caught on) Marius’s love increased and he found a handkerchief left behind marked with the letters UF, he kissed it believing it was the girl’s (he decides the U stands for Ursule) when actually it was the old mans. (Marius’s dumbass in love is kinda funny)

195

This love confused him, serious grief, one day she persuaded her father to go on a walk and Marius followed them with his eyes. A stray wind lifted her dress revealing he leg exasperating Marius because someone could have seen. (he blames her for it) When the two pass Marius and her eyebrow was quirked at him he takes it as their first fight. Someone else walked through the path, an old veteran with a wooden leg looking contented and Marius wanted to exterminate him because he could have seen her leg. (...what) He eventually let this go but then sulked for three days as his passion for her grew.

196

To think he knew her name is a great deal, four weeks after this Marius wanted to know where she lived. His third mistake, his first by staying hidden, second by not remaining when it was just the old man. He followed the girl to a modest three-story house (to live in a time where a three story house is seen as modest) but it wasn’t enough and he questioned the porter on which level and what they do, the porter asks if he’s a police spy. The next day the two only stayed in Luxemburg for a short while and the next didn't come. Marius saw the light in the windows and watched until it went out and he did this for a week. (alright Marius dumbass in love stopped being funny and has moved into terrifying stalker level) The eighth day there was no light and he waited until midnight, the next day no one was in Luxemburg, and no one was in the house. He asked the porter who told him they moved, and he didn’t know where and figures Marius really is a spy. (I like this porter and his what are you a cop I ain’t no snitch attitude)

BOOK SEVENTH PATRON MINETTE

197

The human society has a theatrical parlance where it could cultivate good or evil, but this layer is usually undermined. There are the religious, philosophical, economic and revolutionary mines people answered one from the other and sometimes meet, so many different stages as are works and extractions to emerge the future. The deep, the more mysterious, the toilers, lower down they are terrible, at one depth no longer penetrable, it is the beginning of monsters. “The eye of the spirit distinguishes them but obscurely. The embryonic work of the future is one of the visions of philosophy.”p.457 A divine invisible chain ties all these together though they think they are isolated. All are toilers from the highest to the lowest, the starry eye and shadowy eye, at one point light is extinguished, below all this is a grave of shadows, an abyss.

198

Those there are ignorant of the idea and word, no thought but the satisfaction of their own desires, their mothers are ignorance and misery, ferociousness, man there becomes satin. “There exists beneath society, we insist upon this point, and there will exist, until that day when ignorance shall be dissipated, the great cavern of evil.”p.458 Hatred without exception, the abject of distraction of everything including the upper mines it only undermines, even progress. “Its name is simply theft, prostitution, murder, assassination. It is darkness, and it desires chaos. Its vault is formed of ignorance.”p.459 All others have to suppress it, destroy ignorance, destroy crime. “Humanity is identity. All men are made of the same clay. There is no difference, here below, at least, in predestination.”-”But ignorance, mingled with the human paste, blackens it. This incurable blackness takes possession of the interior of a man and is there converted to evil.”p.459

199

Ruffians, Claquesous, Gueulemar, Babet and Montparnasse, guarded the third floor of Paris. Gueulemar was built like Hercules, Babet was his opposite, and a jack of all trades Claquesous was a creature of the night, Montparnasse, though only twenty, aspired to all crimes. (alright so all that to introduce these guys who are products of that lower mine where light doesn’t penetrate could they be considered foils of the Friends of the ABC)

200

These four wound under the police, they operated at night. A band can be judged by those in it the principal members of the Patron Minette are the worst of the worst though these four weren’t a part of them. As long as society is the way it is those people will exist, possessing no soul but darkness, only Light from above, penetrating, lighting below, will make them vanish.

(over half way through dear god I called Jane Eyre a brick)

145º [200 a.C.]. Pyrrhias de Etolia, corrida do Stádium Quando os macedônicos iniciaram as conquistas em território grego, formou-se a Liga Etólia, uma confederação de estados da Grécia Antiga centrado nas cidades da Etólia na Grécia central. A liga foi estabelecida em 370 a.C. e ocupou a região da grécia central, chegando a Delfos em 290 a.C. e ganhando território desde então até o final do século III a.C., onde controlava toda Grécia central até as proximidades da Ática. Por volta de 200 a.C., a Liga já estava na última parte de sua influência, e Pyrrias foi à Olímpia representar sua nação, embora a Liga tenha unido-se aos romanos, seu povo ainda era composto por cidadãos gregos. Seu pai, um estrategista que havia combatido os macedônicos, derrotado em duas ocasiões, finalmente pode ver o triunfo de seu filho ao vencer a corrida do Stadium, frente a espartanos, macedônicos e atenienses. Outros vencedores nestes jogos foram daquele deswconhecido de Argos na corrida de Diaulos, o que foi sua terceira vitória, Damatrios de Tegea na corrida de Dólicos, filho de Aristippos, que depois destes Jogos se dedicaria exclusivamente na modalidade dólicos, já que competia também no Stadium, sendo nomeado até Periodonikes, pois no dólicos venceu quatro vezes nos Jogos Nemeos, duas vezes nos lstmicos e duas nos Píticos. Timão de Elis venceu no pentatlo, e conseguiu também vitórias nos jogos de Delfos e nos Nemeos, não pode participar dos jogos Ísticos por estar proibida a participação dos eleos nestes Jogos. De acordo com Pausanias, Timon tomou parte na guerra entre etolios e tesalios, havendo-se encarregado por aqueles a diversas funções diplomáticas. Moschos de Colofón venceu no pugilato juvenil, e ele foi o único menino a ter vencido a competição de pugilato em todos os jogos principais. Phaidimos de Alexandia venceu o Pancracio juvenil, que foi disputada pela primeira vez nesta Olimpiada. Entre 200 e 196 a.C. aconteceu a II Guerra Romano-Macedônia, e em 197 a.C. acontece a Batalha de Cynoscephali na Tessália, onde os romanos sob o comando do cônsul Titus Quincio Flamininus, apoiados por grupos helênicos dissidentes, derrotaram Filipe V. @prof.lucianodornelles #etolia (em Olímpia - Grécia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSNUwzuMYM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@raggedy-dxctor​

179. "Well, it's the thought that counts." "Wait, no, don't take my kisses away from me!"

218. "We need to kick his ass, no questions asked. You in?"

219. "Hot chocolate and cuddles? Kisses?"

220. "You make me feel pretty."

221. "You'll always be my best girl."

222. "Never hide yourself from me."

223. "Babe! There's no toilet paper!"

224. "I'll never give up on you."

225. "Do you feel that shirt? That's boyfriend material."

226. "That prank went so wrong."

227. "Care to dance, my love?"

228. "AH! You're stuck with me!"

229. "You're too good to me."

230. "Is it that time of the month?"

231. "Can I braid your hair?"

232. "It's okay to have doubts, as long as you don't let them overwhelm you."

-

Beatrice had been bustling around the house, making sure everything was in order for the girls' arrival. She checked the bedrooms to ensure they were clean and cozy, laid out fresh sheets and towels, and even prepared a basket of snacks for the little ones to enjoy during their stay. It was important to her that their nieces felt comfortable and welcomed in their home.

As she glanced at the clock on her phone, Beatrice realized that Leo, Cynthia, and their daughters would be arriving in just a few hours. She had planned some fun activities and meals to keep the kids entertained and well-fed throughout the weekend.

Beatrice walked past Rooster's office and noticed that he was inside, which was quite unusual. He rarely used that space unless it was absolutely necessary. Curiosity piqued, she pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Rooster was seated at his desk, a laptop open in front of him, and a serious expression on his face. He seemed deeply engrossed in whatever he was working on.

"Hey, Roos," Beatrice said, breaking his concentration. "What are you up to in here?"

Rooster looked up, his expression softening as he saw his wife. "Oh, hey, babe. Just some work stuff, nothing too exciting."

Beatrice arched an eyebrow, not entirely convinced. "Work stuff? You rarely use this office. Is something going on? And it’s also," she wraps her arms around his neck from behind, “The weekend.”

Rooster sighed, kissing the inside of her wrist, “Just…some things Cyclone sent me.” he mutters, “About my promotion. It’ll be by the end of this month if everything goes well.” he mutters, holding his head on his free hand as he scrolls down the e-mail, “Plus some extra stuff about the recruits.”

“Hmm.” Beatrice says, propping her chin on his shoulder, “What has he said that we don’t know already? Anything I should know?”

"Well," he began, "Cyclone just mentioned that they're finalizing the details of my promotion. Paperwork,those things,” he holds his gaze on another e-mail, “There’s also stuff about McAllister, he’s been doing a great job too.”

“You must be proud.” she grins, “Your little fanboys are growing up.”

“Hey.” he warns with a smile, tapping her nose, “Not my fanboys.”

“They kinda are,Roos, you know that. And you care about them too.”

He keeps his eyes on her for a little while, his smile widening as he looks back to the screen, “I do. Yeah.” he sighs, arching his brows, “Besides that,there’s just paperwork I gotta finish while at home, but nothing I should worry about too much.”

Beatrice continued to stand behind Rooster, her chin resting on his shoulder as she observed his work. As she watched him, Beatrice noticed a flicker of concern in Rooster's eyes. It was a subtle shift, but she knew him well enough to pick up on it.

"Is something bothering you, Roos?" she asked gently, her fingers tracing soothing circles on his shoulder.

Rooster sighed, leaning back in his chair and turning to face her. "It's just... with the promotion and everything, it means more responsibilities, longer hours, and potentially more time away from home." he rubs his eyes with the tips of his fingers, “Don’t get me wrong,I’m fucking elated, but–”

Beatrice reached out to cup his cheek,” We'll make it work. “ she grins “We always do."

He smiled gratefully, kissing the inside of her palm. "You are a fucking angel, you know that?”

“Well,” she shrugs, “I knew what to expect when I started dating you.” she says, cupping his cheeks to tilt his head up and kiss his forehead, “And I’m used to it by now. You’ll do just fine.” she pauses, “You also deserve this promotion,Bradley.”

“Oh,first name?” he teases, “Really?”

Beatrice turns him around on his chair and holds onto the arms, keeping her eyes level with him, “I love your name.” she grins, “But I also know that it’s useful to say it when I know what is happening in your mind…your dad would be extremely proud of you.”

Rooster's gaze softened as he met Beatrice's eyes. Her words were like a balm to his soul, soothing the insecurities and worries that sometimes crept into his mind. He had come a long way in his Navy career, and he knew, he knew that his father would have been proud of his achievements.

"Thank you, Bea," he said, his voice filled with gratitude. "That means a lot to me. And having you by my side makes everything better."

Beatrice leaned in, capturing his lips in a tender kiss, only breaking to say "And yes, I do use your first name strategically when I want your full attention."

Rooster chuckled, running his fingers through her hair. "Noted. You have my full attention, always."

“Do I?”

“If I ever stop looking at you I’ll get glasses.” he winks, “Good luck keeping my eyes away from you.”

She giggled, checking the time again and thinking that since they still had time and Nikki was asleep in her room, she could spend some time with him. Beatrice eventually sat down on his lap, wrapping her arms on his neck while his hugged her waist, “We still have fifteen minutes before the girls get here.” she says, playing with his shirt, “And I checked everything to make sure they’ll be okay.”

Rooster smiled warmly at Beatrice as she settled into his lap, kissing her shoulder before He caressed her cheek gently with his thumb, his eyes locked onto hers. "Fifteen minutes, huh? What should we do with all that time?" he teased, leaning in to brush his lips against hers in a sweet, lingering kiss.

Beatrice's laughter was like music to his ears, a sound that never failed to make his heart swell with love. "Well, Mr. Aviator," she whispered playfully, her breath warm against his lips, "we could make the most of those fifteen minutes." and she leaned back when he tried to kiss her, “But we both know you’ll need more than fifteen.”

Rooster’s lips were still pursed, only separating as he sighed quietly, pressing his forehead on her shoulder. “You are so right.," he said in a husky voice, "we should probably save the rest for later."

“Hmhm.”

“Later tonight?” he peeks at her,brown eyes twinkling and his brows waggling.

“Not tonight,Roos.” she answers, kissing his forehead, “But soon,hm?”

“Oh,fine.” he leaned back on his chair, bringing Bea with him so she lies on top of his chest, using him as a firm and warm pillow, “...our anniversary is also coming up.” he mutters, “...I just remembered that.”

Beatrice blinks, she also forgot about that detail, “I mean it is in October,Roos.” she whispers, “We still have time, a couple months.” she says, “Why? You have anything in mind already?”

Rooster wrapped his arms securely around Beatrice as she nestled on his chest, his fingers gently tracing circles on her back. “No,not really,” he says, eyes on the ceiling, ‘Just…thinking about it.” and he smiles soon after, “Best years of my life, I have to confess.”

Her heart warmed at that, closing her eyes as she heard his heartbeat while keeping her arms around him. They just sat there, in silence for a few seconds, it was rare for them to sit down and relax like this, doing anything but enjoy each other’s presence. 

Not that they were complaining about life, no,not at all, it was great…but it’s obvious how much their lives changed yet remained the same after they got married. “You think we are a fun couple?’ she asks,her eyes still closed feeling too comfortable to open them,especially when her husband runs his fingers through her brown hair repeatedly.

Rooster continued to stroke Beatrice's hair with a gentle touch, his fingers weaving through the strands as he contemplated her question. After a brief pause, he finally responded, his voice soft and reflective. "Hell yeah. I think we are really fun." he looks down at her, “Why?”

Beatrice smiled contentedly, her eyes still closed but offering him a small shrug ."I  just had to ask. People say marriage changes relationships but, to be honest, it still feels like we’re dating.”

“I mean,sure," he begins , his voice filled with affection. "Marriage might bring changes, but it hasn't changed how much I love being with you. It still feels like we're dating, and I hope it always does."

“Aw,” she coos, “You are so sweet.”

“Not sweet as you.” he smirks, kissing her head, “Love you gorgeous.”

Beatrice opened her eyes, her gaze locking onto Rooster's warm brown eyes. "Love you too," she whispered, leaning in to capture his lips in a sweet, lingering kiss.

They remained in each other's arms, basking in the simple joy of being together. Time might have passed since they first started dating, but their love had only grown stronger with each passing day. And it was obvious.

For everyone.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of tires crunching gravel that she opened her eyes, “Oh the girls!” she sits up on his lap, trying her best to remove his arms from her waist and looking at him when he pouted, “Roos.”

Rooster playfully protested as Beatrice tried to extricate herself from his lap. "Come on, babe," he said with a mischievous grin, "I was enjoying the view."

Beatrice chuckled, shaking her head. "You can enjoy the view later, Roos. The girls are here."

With a tired yet playful sigh, Rooster released her and stood up, following Beatrice to the front of the house.There was a small silhouette peeking on the glass panes, face squished and green eyes moving around in hopes she found who she was looking for…only for a smaller face to appear under hers.

“Alright,” they heard her brother’s voice, “Lemme ring the do–”

“I’ll do it!” Bianca shouted, slamming her palm on the door bell and waking Eleanor, who just appeared out of nowhere with her ears and tails perked up, staring at the door, “Auntie! Uncle! We’re here! Open the dooooor!”

Beatrice and Rooster shared a knowing smile as they heard the excited voices of their niece, on the other side of the door. Beatrice reached the door first, her hand on the doorknob. She couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth and love as she prepared to welcome her nieces inside. Rooster stood beside her, arms crossed and head tilted as he watched.

As soon as Beatrice opened the door, Bianca burst into the house with boundless energy. She was so much bigger already, but she still climbed onto Beatrice like a spider monkey, in fact, she was doing so, wrapping her whole body around her torso.

"Hi auntie!" Bianca exclaimed, her green eyes sparkling with excitement. "We missed you so much!"

“Hi,Bibi.” she looked down, “Hi Éwoyn.” Éwoyn, she just turned two, smiled up at her before wandering inside. As soon as Beatrice looked up ,she blinked at her brother’s tired face. “Hi.”

“Hi.”

“You okay?’

Leonardo looked like he walked through a hurricane and had flashbacks from it, “Yes.” he sighs, holding up both girls’ backpacks, “Thank you guys so much for doing this.”

Beatrice smiled warmly at her brother, understanding the challenges of parenting two energetic young girls. "You know we love having them, Leo," she said, stepping aside to let him in.

Rooster greeted Leonardo with a friendly pat on the back. "Hey, Leo.”

“Hey.”

“You look rough.”

Leonardo sighed with relief as he stepped inside, his daughters' laughter filling the air. "I swear, they have more energy than a tornado." followed by Bianca sliding out of Beatrice’s hold to immediately run to Rooster, giving him a quick hug before she darted off to explore the living room. Meanwhile Éowyn wobbled around, trying to keep up with her big sister. 

Beatrice smiles, crossing her arms "They certainly keep you on your toes."

“Haha,” he laughs nervously, “Ha…yeah…uh, yeah,” he rubs his eyes, “Anyway, everything is in their bags, extra clothes, extra diapers for Éowyn, uhhh,” he unzips to check the contents, furrowing his brows, “Some…snacks? I didn’t put this here–”

“Thanks daddy!” Bianca yanked a bag of gummy worms from inside so fast it was like she was made of speed. 

“Ah.”

“We won’t let her have it often.” Beatrice says, “I promise.”

Leonardo chuckled, his exhaustion momentarily replaced by a sense of relief. "Thanks, guys. I appreciate you taking care of them for the weekend. And don't worry, I know you'll make sure she doesn't turn into a sugar monster." cue to Bianca squealing something, “Even though sometimes, it can be late.” As Bianca enthusiastically dug into her gummy worms, Leonardo knelt down to her eye level. "Hey, Bibi, you promise to be a good girl for Auntie Bea and Uncle Roos, okay?...please?"

Bianca nodded vigorously, her mouth full of gummy worms,sugar all over her cheeks. "I promise!"

Éowyn, on the other hand, was content to explore her surroundings, toddling around the living room with her tiny hands outstretched as she discovered new things to touch and examine.

Leonardo watched his daughters with a mixture of love and exhaustion, grateful for the support of his little sister and her husband. "You guys are lifesavers," he said sincerely. "I know they can be a handful.I’ll make it up to you. I swear."

Rooster shrugged, his warm smile never fading. "Relax Leo, we don’t mind."

Beatrice nodded in agreement. "True, and they’ll be fine."

Leonardo felt more at ease leaving his daughters in their care,hHe gave them a rundown of Bianca and Éowyn's routines, from meal times to bedtime stories, making sure everything was in order. Then he repeated once he remembered more stuff.

"Leo, we've got this," Beatrice reassured him, one hand on his shoulder. "You go enjoy your weekend."

Leonardo's shoulders visibly relaxed as he realized he could finally take a break. He hugged both Beatrice and Rooster tightly. "Thank you, guys. I owe you big time." he backs away to the door, pointing at them, “Promise,I’ll pay you guys in any way I can.”

Rooster patted his brother-in-law's back. "No need for that, Leo. Just take care of yourself and come back refreshed."

With one last glance at his daughters, who were now engrossed in a few of the pictures on the wall, Leonardo reluctantly left his sister's house, promising to return in a couple of days. Beatrice and Rooster watched him go, waving at him from the door.

Once Leonardo was gone, Beatrice and Rooster focused their attention on Bianca and Éowyn. Bianca had finished her gummy worms and was now walking on her hands and knees…except as if she was in the Exorcist. “Bibi.” Beatrice calls, “Honey,don’t do that.”

“I’m okay!’ she continues spider walking in the living room, her little sister chose to sit on the couch instead, “Look!” and now she’s walking on her hands only, “No legs!”

Beatrice couldn't help but chuckle at Bianca's playful antics. "Alright little miss acrobat" she teased,placing both hands on her waist and gently pulling her back down. "But be careful, sweetheart. We don't want you to get hurt."

Bianca giggled and continued her imaginative play, enjoying the attention from her aunt and uncle. Once she was in solid ground, she blinked, “Where’s Nikki?” she asks, blonde hair whipping as she looks around, “Is she napping?”

Beatrice exchanged a knowing glance with Rooster. "Nicole's taking her afternoon nap, sweetheart," she replied, her voice gentle. "She'll join us in a little while." Bianca, while satisfied with that answer, continued back to her Cirque du Soleil moments and walked away much like before.

Once they were at a safe distance, Beatrice looked back at him, “Well LC.” she smiles, “You ready for this weekend?”

Rooster smirked, inhaling quietly and nodding his head once, “Always,gorgeous.”

#201: How to Create a Compelling Story

A great story is an interplay of so many different things. There’s no step-by-step guide that will teach you to write a good story. You can only learn it by doing it. But you don’t have to start from zero. There are tons of resources and tools out there. See what other people are doing and try it for yourself.

When I write stories, I try to focus on these two key ingredients: conflict and change.

Conflict is what drives the plot of your story forward. There are many ways of creating conflict. You may have someone want a glass of water, but they can’t get it because the tap doesn’t work. Or you can have a full-on war going on.

As your characters resolve the conflict in your story, they will change in some way. As a result of the water outage, maybe the thirsty person will always keep bottled water in the pantry. War affects people in all sorts of ways.

The change must be permanent and irreversible. If you can easily go back to the way things were before, it’s just an option.

The way I like to think about it, in every story, something needs to die. Whether it’s the ideals of the protagonist or her boyfriend. It sounds a bit harsh, but it’s true even in stories for children. Think about an over-the-top comedy for kids like Cars from Pixar (spoilers). Lightning McQueen loses the Piston Cup in the end. He misses his chance to be the first rookie to win in the first season — something he will never be able to do again.

The story starts with McQueen as an arrogant celebrity race car. His crew quits because he only cares about himself. By the end of the film, that Lighting McQueen is dead, replaced by the new one that is ready to give up his victory and his dream to be the first rookie to win the Piston Cup so that he can push the King over the finish line in his final race.

What will die in your story? What or who will change permanently by the end? And how? Those are great questions to ask yourself when you're starting out. Knowing the answers will shape how you think about the narrative.

Maybe you’re writing romance, and you want to get two characters from hating each other to getting together — that's a classic setup. Another typical example is the coming-of-age story — growing up is the definition of change. Or your character fights in a war and loses a leg.

A short story will usually focus on the character changing in one specific way. Novels can have many of them. You can have a teenage soldier who grows up on the battlefield, falls in love with a girl from the opposite faction, and loses a leg in the final battle.

How to write a compelling story? Think about conflict and change. What obstacles will your characters need to overcome? And how will that permanently affect them?

could you (or anyone) possibly explain what the alternate ending to tma was gonna be? I assume it's in one of the season 5 q&as? would someone b able to summarise pls that would be awesome thank u :]

Sure! Indeed, they talk about quite a few alternate ending options in the Q&As, some in more detail, some in less. Here are the options they talked about that I could find, summed up/paraphrased: 

- There were various endings where Jon and Martin’s endings were more explicit, either them dying or whatever else, but in the end ambiguity just felt right. - In one permutation, the Web plan/twist of 197 was actually going to be revealed at 200, but it was changed because it felt cheap to not let the characters actually know the stakes of the choices they were making.

- The Archivist in general turned out more sympathetic than originally conceived

- The alternate plan that Annabelle talks about in 196, was actually one of the real life endings considered. They don’t elaborate on the details, but it would’ve been Eye!John and Spider!Martin, facing off in the final episode, in a tragic confrontation, after Jon felt betrayed by Martin, believing Martin’d done something awful (when he didn’t.)

- A (different?) web!Martin ending, the one referenced by the “Chocolate torte of tragedy” tweet, is one where Jon believed Martin had died, and so, alone, he would take over the position of Pupil. There, with his new powers, he’d hear ‘ghosts’ of the people he’d known, and what they’d say to him if they saw him now. Then Martin would come back as a spider avatar. This one was abandoned partly because they used a similar idea for the s3 finale.

(- the web!martin aspect was eventually changed, since listeners by and large didn’t interpret Martins character that way, which would make the reveal land in an unintended way. So they reconsidered him and found that he was more Lonely than manipulative.)

Mega Prompt List

I have brought together a few different lists and have over 300 prompts. I love getting request, it’s great, but they don’t always flow in. So the idea is to use a random number generator and have that pick the prompt for me. I have a ton of WIPs so I really shouldn’t be looking to add anything but...Well it’s like trying not to buy a new book. I can’t do it.

Feel free to send me a request from this list if you’d like! And as always, expect a Sterek fic, because that is all I know anymore...
