MAG 86 here we goooo

Ok so I actually listened to this like a few days ago but I never got round to looking at the transcript but HERE I AM

God this is the blanket never did anything one

He says tucked in so fucking menacingly like Jesus Christ man

TIM MY LOVE

I can't get that one post out of my head that says how Tim was the furthest from being taken by the Eye cause he keeps tripping up on pronunciations and stuff in statements that other archival staff wouldnt honestly it's such a genius take

Oh shit this is getting really long I'll add in a read more

God I love how he's rebelling in every sense, he's doing the bare minimum, he's literally warning people away from it

It's kind of interesting the way he always thought the statement stuff was stupid but in the whole of season one and a lot of season two he managed to hide his distaste pretty well, like even when he lashed out at Jon about the Prentiss incident, he still didn't say that the statements were stupid, but he's saying it behind his back - maybe some part of him knew that Jon needed the statements to work and some part of him still felt for him enough to not point that out

He's kinda dramatic with it as well but I feel like in more of a self aware way than jon

You can feel his distaste honestly the statement just sounds wrong coming from him, which is interesting cause I didn't think that about when Martin did it

So he's mad at the fact that he put effort into a job that he wasn't even that comfortable with in the first place and now he's trapped in? Not about the monsters??

Jesus Christ Tim being a bit of a dick to melanie

HE BLAMES MARTIN????? Damn bro you weren't there how could you tell he didn't do it properly??

I think he's mad at himself for not being there and deflecting it on to martin

She likes that it's quiet!!! That's cute

Martin's not big on change AH neurodivergent vibes

All the archival staff are literally queer and neurodivergent you can't change my mind

Also the fact that he thinks that's the biggest reason why martin doesn't want Melanie around, not the Horrors and the same reason as Tim

I think Tim is refusing to think that Martin might see the situation in the same way as him because if he does then it means Tim's way of dealing might not be the best way and that's an unacceptable thought to him

Suspicious and resentful - my man is self aware I think he knows the way his path is going (hurtling towards destruction) but is too stuck shaking his fist at god to try and get out or he's sort of known his whole life that this is where he was supposed to end up, a terrible fate created by his own two hands that dug their own way down to rock bottom and he's just so tired of trying to do anything about it that he's just accepted it

SASHA OH GOD

Wow seeing firsthand the effects of the stranger, the way neither Tim nor Melanie can remember the real Sasha, but Tim has to live with the fact that he didn't notice and Melanie has to live with the fact that she did, but can't prove it

WHO AM I EVEN SAD FOR

AUGH I THOUGHT SOMEONE MADE THAT UP I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS CANON OH GOD

He lost his FRIEND and he DIDN'T REALISE and he STILL DOESN'T KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH AUGH

Oh I wonder why he left the tape running? I'd think he would've forgotten to turn it off but if so I feel like he'd have that shocked moment of remembering which he didn't

Maybe he wanted proof of the conversation? Maybe it was a warning to anyone listening to the tapes? See firsthand how terrible it is at the Magnus Institute so you don't work here? I dunno

Ha I had to ask my lovely mutual @melandrops to explain what a marker was

Oh god honestly this statement fucked me up I completely understand why people hate it I hate it

I was so scared of the dark as a kid and the idea of being reduced to that state of lack of awareness and vulnerability is actually terrifying

Also the dude dying in the blanket???? Ew ew ew

Love the fact that tma doesn't just go with a oh shit I forgot a torch so it was pitch black kinda horror but the I brought a torch, I even brought spare batteries but it still did nothing which in my opinion is even scarier

Oh god her whispering the blanket never did anything that was horrifying

Melanie was actually so good at giving the statement girl really got into it

I was also talking to @melandrops about archivist!Melanie cause I think that would be really interesting... she'd definitely bring a more proactive vibe to the role...

It's interesting to think that Melanie and Jon hated each other at first sort of because they're so alike? It's like the we are made of the same stuff (derogatory)

Love how she just checks out the dead guy

The way she's denying it even though she's literally had paranormal experiences before that's so Jon core she would be a great archivist

JON????

Oh shit I just realised he's labelled as Archivist...when did that happen??

That's so funny he's like bitch maybe I do have reason to kill you

Hmm nice touch of Melanie being like do you guys not want me cause I'm a girl?? Is this misogyny??? Good guess but unfortunately it's worse

It's quite nice that Jon's trying to save her even though the meetings about helping him and her quitting would mean he'd lose the one informant he might have in the institute

Shot in the leg by a ghost in India????

Ha Tim hates you and Martin's probably being watched

Love how Tim's hatred for Jon is so visceral and known that they don't even bother watching him

I bet Elias would delight in knowing about Martin's little crush on Jon and how Jon actually hated him in season one and then how their relationship progresses he'd thrive on the drama and the angst the little bastard

Ok ok it's good that he's on the right track, he guesses it was elias

Wait the whole murder was on tape... WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT TAPE??? DID ELIAS TAKE IT??? COULD IT BE USED AS EVIDENCE???

YES MELANIE IS BEING CAUGHT UP (info style) BUT ALSO NO MELANIE IS BEING CAUGHT UP (web style)

"I stand in the mess of myself" -Colum McCann

That first timeline was so soft and lovely and kdvskdjif I AM GETTING TOO MUCH FLUFF ITS GETTING CONCERNING

The scene with Max and Rafe made me 🥺🥺

Jia is the only president I will ever love😎

“Am I still the prettiest man in the world?” Alec chuckles. Magnus bops his nose. “Always.” I'M DYING💙💙💙

Jdhskdbidjd Magnus is unhinged as fuck lmao

Communication is so sexy tbh

The way I love these two-

Magnus making sure Alec knows how important this is and that he deserves all the recognition- just...fuck

Alec looks at him. He smiles at Magnus. And there it is. The higher power. Malec comparing each other to some higher power is my favorite thing EVERY OK?!?

“Perfect enough to put inside my heart.”💙💙

Alec practically runs out of the door. Magnus chuckles to himself and follows through. Who said being horny can't be productive at the same time??

“Oh for fuck’s sake! Can’t they like walk home?” Alec demands. “Max is six.” “So? He has legs.” My man has priorities jdhdkdjdl

Empathy is so fucking beautiful and sexy 😍

Max is a cheesy little shit and I am love him!!! He is just so innocent and cute🥺🥺🥺

In timeline two Max was indeed acting like an asshole. I mean he was waiting for David to text him and go to that party but it didn't happen😭 Still, asshole behavior

Honestly tho Alec has every right to decide what to do and if he wants to move on or not. Why do people forget that???

He forgot about his promise. It’s fine. Not all of them are Lightwood-Banes anymore anyway. AHH JUST STOP THE PAIN😭😭😭

“So that’s why it ended, huh,” Alec hums. “Raisins and bad luck.” Them talking here is kinda sad but also you can see how they are trying to heal and that is beautiful!!

Elyaas is so done with them and I can't blame him smh

Yall are terrifying together, love. Have a nice day :)

That was so fucking sad but I'm so damn glad they could talk to each other!!!

“I won’t let anyone hurt the blue-eyed boy.” “Good,” Alec smiles. “We won’t let anyone hurt you either.” THEM>>>>>

Them taking comfort on each other and knowing they can rely on the other to help them through this all is the most amazing thing ever and in this essay I will-

Omfg I love their reactions when Max told them about moving to London. Both of them went like ✨No :)✨

Max taking over Edom!!! I fucking knew it!!!!! Hell yeah let's go!!!!

His fake binder is honestly a mood af😎

“I just think it could be different. It’s like how Rafael wants to be a politician because he wants the government to be different.” This parallel is *chef kiss*

No thoughs, head empty except ✨mavid kids✨

“Shinyun Jung. Will you do me the honor of being my mentor?” kdvwkdkdlebi loved this so much. She indeed has big dick energy 🥰

Shinyun and Max living and working together, being competitive and skilled little shits its my favorite aesthetic💙💙 also Noodle???? I want to met them!!!

He would make such a gorgeous Prince of Edom and I think David can agree ;)

I love how Shinyun and Alec are like: I don't trust you but I trust Magnus so I'm going to behave idheieejek

And that’s what matters, doesn’t it?

That we all learn to care about something more than ourselves.

Maybe it’s a person. Maybe it’s a place.

It doesn’t matter.

Not as long as we care.

✨A FAVE ONCE AGAIN✨😍😍

“Take it,” Magnus says. “Take some of my strength.” not this parallel too, please it's too much udhdkdjdld

For two grown up men who have really qualified jobs and are successful... They sure are idiots!!!

Can we talk about how the whole scene with Izzy and Maryse was so fucking accurate and true??? ✨God, I love women ✨💙💙💙

No, you don't understand. They love LOVE each other!! Yes, that's a valid reason to scream😭

HE ATE THE FUCKING RAISINS!! OMFG HE HATES THEM!! SCREAMING AND CRYING I WILL NEVER RECOVER

What is love if not eating each other's raisins when needed?

And finally: YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME DANI! I AM IN PANIC AND I TOTALLY BLAME YOU! WHY DO THE BEST CHARACTERS SUFFER SO MUCH?!?!😭

I will go scream in my room brb. And yes I'm still one chapter behind what about it?? jk, jk😂

Song rec: No Goodbyes by Dua Lipa

So in conclusion:

Women? Yes.

Raisins? No.

Wonderful life lessons 🥰🥰🥰

This is Max working for Edom like

Last but not least: PJO hot takes part IV!

Alright my dudes. I think we’re still in this game for one final round. Anyway here’s wonderwall. And Part 1//Part 2//Part 3!

Percy had actually knowledge about the Greek myths. He didn’t waddle in blindly. Where did y’all even get that?

The new possible Irish myth saga will be PJO 3.0 aka Magnus Chase 2.0 aka The Kane Chronicles 1.2.

Riordan already got the names of gods of that possible saga wrong

Riordan‘s Asian characters only know bitch or bland mode, huh

Stop babying Annabeth for fucks sake. Seriously

How the fuck did Sally afford several private schools for Percy when they were poor as fuck? I guess Gabe had to have a some somewhat decent job but then again playing poker/being a gambler and stealing from your stepson ain’t a cute move

Hazel should’ve been Thanatos‘ kid. To break the classic 12 Olympian mold (yeah Hades/Pluto technically isn’t one but he’s still team major gods) and also to throw the damned Hitler/Pluto aesthetics away

Did any of the kids break their limps or get permanently disabled at some point? Or do they just... die (and mostly stay dead)? I forgot

Where can the kids at Camp Half-Blood actually sneak off to fuck? Percy is legit the only one to claim his own shit as his love bunker. The rest is just fucked I guess or has first hand traumatic pre-college experiences

”Percy cursed“. Literally why, Riordan. Let the kid say fuck. He has earned the rights to do so a long time ago

Did I mention that people lack of basic reading skills in earlier takes? Anyway. Here’s another reminder!

Tbh the gods are egotistical fucks and have killed people for the fuck of it. I don’t see Poseidon being even close to okay with Sally marrying Gabe or Paul

I still don’t understand why Frazel is a thing

Most of you don’t understand how movie production works but that’s okay. Just know that everything inside your head will never be realized and there will be drastic cuts and additions to the books (again)

The electronics not working thing doesn’t even make any goddamn sense? Hermes is the god of the Internet. Does this mean that demigods can use the web just fine but simply can’t call each other? This really came back to bite Riordan in the ass now did it? Wouldn’t it make more sense to use old means of communication once you’re trying to reach more important/godly people or electronics fail in an accute situation?

Turning everyone heteroflexible creates the image that you’re simply liking a character for the fact that they are LGBTQ and not the character itself, just saying. More representation sure, but that itself isn’t a personality trait and shouldn’t be the main focus of a character unless it’s really defining in the story line (Nico‘s arc partially for example)

Tbh, HOO should’ve been aged up mentor Percabeth protecting CHB, with the rest of the gang fucking up Greece with aged Reyna + Nico perhaps. I might post an outline on that AU someday (someone should remind me about that tho)

On one hand you have in depth discussions and people diving into the matter and talking about every nook and cranny and on the other hand people are more then just fine with stereotyping and deflecting. Whut. Okay

Why are people shipping the lie that is Jasper/Jasiper

Stop romanticizing the gods

Dark!Percy is just a cheap way for you to turn Percy into an overpowered asshole and that’s that tea

Being in a relationship isn’t a personality trait, my dear shippers

Riordan‘s timeline is off because the coke rush didn’t last that long

The wasted potential of everything past PJO makes me want to cry

Percy’s fatal flaw isn’t stupid, Riordan just didn’t flesh it out properly which is why there were no real repercussions. A fatal flaw is supposed to be hindering you and not a compliment

The fact that adult people still can’t take jokes about their favorite characters is fucking insane part II

Why the fuck did the Stolls get tossed aside? Bruh. The potential? The stigma as a Hermes kid? They trying to redeem their cabins honor? Imagine one of them as a prophecy kid in HOO (and they’d switch and swap to confuse everyone)? Yes??

Every single one of you that essentially is team poc!Percy because he had a rough upbringing deserves to get slapped. Poverty, abuse, a single parent, etc. doesn’t equate to being poc?!?!? Smells racist just saying

Turning Hazel into Nico‘s sister was cheap af

Stop romanticizing and down playing the myth aspect. Tragedy is essential and will haunt demigods. Thank you, next

Also stop babying Percy

Let’s be honest none of those fuckers make it to college

Annabeth Chase is fucking WHITE part II. She’s not biracial, she’s not ”exotic“, she’s certainly not fucking black. She’s white with a little hint of a tan. That still makes her white. Do you really want to turn her into Ariana Grande 2.0? A fucking botched orange? This is your Annabeth aesthetic? Artists get it fucking right unless you state that you portray her as [spraytan headcanon] which is still fucking cheap let’s be real. Orange Annabeth isn’t part of the kulture

Regardless of the reception of the PJO movies, I’ll never forgive you people for letting Logan Lerman aka the OG white boy™ flop. Throw Tom “lipless but okay booty“ Holland and Timothée ”I missed a few meals“ Chalamet the fuck away!

Tbh a less romanticized version of the camps would’ve been more interesting. I’m still put off by CJ (and also the fact that CHB is a summer camp), but had there been more fights and actual deaths that had happened around the camps due to training, etc. you would’ve understood immediately why demigods dipped before the age of 18. The antithetical nature of sweet summer camp and people dying left and right would’ve been amplified

Did Reyna at some point in time even have the time to breath with all of the shit that went down? Her life is simply 24/7 stressful. I get that she wanted to bounce and no longer be in a tiring and demanding position but the hunters ain’t it sis

It’s okay to admit that fanon artwork or fanfics don’t deserve the webspace they are wasting. But phrase that probably in a nicer way

PJO Calypso wasn’t annoying. HOO & TOA Calypso on the other hand...

Alex Pettyfer would’ve been a better Luke Castellan but Jake Abel did an okay job

Percy isn’t an idiot. You are one for believing so

Riordan corrected the stance that Muslims don’t shower during Ramadan (literally how in the fuck did he come up with that in the first place?!) in upcoming MC books. Can he use the same energy to rewrite HOO tho??

Luke’s portrayals in SoM and TTC were straight up trash

Historically accurate PJO would’ve been everything

Monsters can detect demigods by smell. Camo wouldn’t do jack shit ffs

Jason is still bland and making jokes/pointing that out is more than okay

Omfg accept the fact that characters can have multiple facets all good and bad. Reducing them to one specific trait makes them boring and bland. Also it stereotypes

Getting mad over the fact that Clarisse has a boyfriend is still fucking insane

Not everyone needs to be a fanfic writer or an artist, a theorist or someone that analyzes everything phrase by phrase. As long as you’re in the fandom to enjoy works & discussions and remain on the saner side of the spectrum you’re good. You’re valid. Don’t forget that.

Not wanting to stay in a fandom and merely enjoying some of the fruits/benefits as in art/fics/headcanons is also super valid

PJO Reddit, Tumblr, IG and Twitter are a cesspool of chaotic mess and straight up trash but Tumblr > Reddit >>>>>> IG >>>>>> Twitter

Tbh: just try to enjoy a decent book series. It’s all not that deep

mtmte liveblog issue 15

death awaits!

oh god the cover. I aint ready 

the cover of overlords open mouth w/rodimus floating inside or w/e,,,,the overlord mouth fixation continues i see

and of COURSE its by nick roche. of course

oh god the tension and dread in the first page, as we get overlords sinister promise to murder everyone, starting with rewind, and then seeing chromedome rush over to open the door, and knowing that 30 minutes have passed already...

that full page spread of everyone vs overlord is amazing

also I always thought that ambulon was trying to kick overlord but now that I look closer he’s actually jumping away from overlord, having just crashed one of those hover...thingys....into him...which is honestly cool as hell. also I'm never over the fact that ambulon kinda looks like he’s smiling here, just having a grand ole time as overlord tries his best to murder everyone

and chromedome just seeing this and saying ‘rewind?’ is fucking killing me thanks

PIPES NO DONT DO THIS. YOURE JUST RUBBING SALT IN THE WOUND. PLEASE don't talk about how much fun you're having on your wacky space adventure oh god, that’s just asking to be murdered,

GOD AND THERE HE GOES, DRIVING TO HIS DOOM. PIPES NO

AUGHHHHHHHHHH AND THERES OVERLORD WITH HIS GIANT FOOT. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PIIIIIPES ;_; 

his messed up goodbye thoughts are brutal...plus the final shot of him laying all busted up....god :( 

that guy seriously had some awful luck this trip. rip lil guy

BUT he sounded the alarm!!! so good for him!! that's a pretty amazing final act right there

oh my god I forgot abt this scene where rewind is like ‘so brainstorm why is my husband saying your name in his sleep :))))’ and brainstorm is like ‘haha idk its certainly not because we’re working on a secret project together, so jot that down!’ lmao brainstorm....

also dw rewind brainstorm is not fucking ur husband, just look at his evidentially extensive collection of perceptor-style microscopes...my man is microscopesexual 

I forgot abt the metabomb omfg

‘some of my favorite words are monosyllabic’ rodimus ily, himbo of my heart,

fort max :( rung :( 

oughhghghg I forgot abt the scene of tailgate making cyclonus a new horn ;_; and then cyclonus materializes menacingly bc tg dared to volunteer their room for movie night hvbfshdjkfbaskj cyclonus anti-social icon

AUGHHHH GOD THE PANEL OF RATCHET TALKING ON THE COMMS AND OVERLORD IS JUST, RIGHT BEHIND HIM, WITH HIS BIG STUPID LIPS, OH MY GOD

what the fuck, is drift a flying car??? hello??? what the hell????

seriously he’s got like, rockets and shit, what the fuck

anyways, the entire exchange b/w ratchet and drift here kills me, for multiple reasons.... ‘my faith and my sword’ lmao love it. and then ratchet refusing to leave drift and calling him his friend ;_; aughhh

rodimus w/the squad like ‘lets go gays!!!’ 

also I guess cosmos WAS on the lost light lol, totally didn't remember that, I'm guessing he left at some point to go be in the other series lmao 

I'm sorry but ‘amazing. you speak entirely in name’ is so fucking funny, but also like stfu overlord you're not allowed to be funny

MAGNUSSSSSSSS

now I'm confusing myself lmao, rodimus DID know abt overlord, didn't he??? wasn't that the whole thing???? I don't remember if he was involved w/the whole mnemosurgery plan but he at least knew that overlord was there...but we haven't been told that in-story yet so now I'm questioning that lmao

oh god I forgot that overlord almost kills magnus, jeeeeesus. good thing he’s a russian nesting doll otherwise he probably would've died fr 

also damn that's gotta be scary for everyone else, bc magnus is The Big Guy, and a renown fighter...plus drift got all fucked up...yall are in for a bad time 

tailgate gettin his panic on I see

swerve w/the meta narration lmao 

cyclonus ily sm.......

rodimus charging at overlord....ohhh my boy not your best idea

cd and rewind both saying ‘I thought you were dead!’ HHHHHHHH I'm destroyed fuck it all

rodimus (inadvertently) saving the day by saying ‘til all are one’...iconic!!

FORT MAX IS HEREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

drift just casually chillin w/no legs

chromedome going into extreme detail about all the mnemosurgery he’s been doing on overlord for WEEKS while rewind is Right There....my dude.

this issue has a LOT of completely white backgrounds but I cant even rlly blame milne bc this seems like more drawing work than usual

oh god cd don't say ‘we’ll finish this conversation later’ at a time like this, that’s never a good idea,

rewind no don't do it :( :( :( 

that panel of cd’s arm getting cut off...AUGHHH

GODDDDDDD IM FUCKING CRYING. AUGHHHHHHHHHHH I.....

so incredibly fucked that cd does what’s best for rewind by blowing the pod up....hhhhh god 

and then that last panel of cd laying on the ground....fucking destroy me!!!!!!!!

also I love that at the beginning of the issue we see whirl with the missile launcher thing, and that’s what cd uses at the end here....good bookends. jro is really great about putting stuff in the story that just seems like innocuous filler/fun character building but turns out to ALSO be plot relevant later

HOLY SHIT I forgot about the cast page with the big red X’s thru the dead people’s profiles....jesus christ 

AUGH this issue was a rollercoaster, phew...and the emotionally devastating conclusion to this arc is still yet to come! 

I will say that it’s super interesting looking back on this, in the sense that rewind & chromedome are introduced as the first ever gay tf couple, and a few issues after we get told this explicitly, rewind is killed. this doesn't really end up being an issue representation-wise bc literally everyone is gay and there are a bunch of other significant gay characters/relationships later on, AND rewind comes back later 

but still! it’s interesting to think about how, at the time this came out, the phrase/concept ‘bury your gays’ wasn't really something that was talked about a lot (or like, it was, but not as often as nowadays, and not really under the term ‘bury your gays’ iirc), but at the time of publication this would have fallen under that trope (though rewind coming back later negates it imo). I think it would've been tough for this story to come out nowadays due to the backlash that would've occurred from rewind’s initial death (it also makes me wonder if there was any backlash when this DID come out) 

to be clear, this isn't a writing criticism - in fact, the reason this is able to work at all is because of the crazy amount of representation mtmte has. it’s like, youre able to kill off gay characters without it being ‘bury your gays’ if literally all your characters are gay by default, and there are a bunch of significant gay relationships happening - technically speaking, any death in mtmte is bury your gays lmao 

this is a completely disjointed rant but my point is like, if this issue came out in 2020 people would probably be pretty put off by rewind dying (understandably), but in the context of the series as a whole I don't consider this to be bad writing/bad representation/bury your gays 

and like, WERE people really mad about this in 2013? I am curious now, bc I would definitely feel kinda betrayed if I didn't know all the stuff that happens later 

but its pretty nice, because now I'm free to enjoy the writing and be emotionally devastated by rewinds death in a normal way, and not a ‘I'm angry at the writers for killing off one of the only gay characters’ kinda way

anyways I'm tired as hell so I'm going to bed, ill continue the emotional devastation later, phew

Jace Wayland-Strawberry

Requested by @online-fangirl (I can tag you FINALLY THANK GOD) and an anon. Hope you like it! I had a lot of problems with the smut part, I’m so sorry I couldn’t do it. I just, there are some characters which are really difficult to write about for me, and I don’t feel confident enough about Jace to write about him. I hope you don’t mind, I’m sorry.

Plot: two assholes feel the right to ruin your day, but Jace isn’t going to let that happen.

Warnings: due to the request, this reader is curvy/overweight. I don’t have problems with writting about this type of reader since I’m too, I’m sorry if you don’t feel indentificated with the type of body. All of us have to be proud of ours body, either if it’s thin, bigger or a fucking potato. Also, people being an asshole to the reader and ‘bullying’

You wiped the few tears that had stuck in your cheeks with the sleeve of your sweater, trying to spill the remainders of water that still made it difficult to breath. Jace was sitting beside you, leaning casually against the chair and with a smirk on his ridiculous handsome face. Your hand made contact with his arm and he whined loudly; as if you could ever hurt him, the brave and invincible shadowhunter. That was what people must had thought of him; for you, he was just your best friend. And the love of your life who didn’t know you had feelings for him, but that was another story.

“You okay there, berry?” he chuckled, placing a hand on your shoulder. You glared at him although you were trying to not laugh again, after the last attack that had you choking on air.

“Yeah” you wiped your mouth carefully with the napkin, soda all over your face. “I almost chocked to death on my drink thanks to you. Asshole.”

“It’s not my fault that you can’t control your laugher!” Jace teased, throwing his arms back.

When he winked at you, you swore your heart forgot how to beat. That happened every time the blonde man decided to wink, smile, look, talk and, lately, even breath near you. It wasn’t something new; you had been in love with Jace Wayland since you were ten, when he called you for the first time ‘berry’.

You get so red that you seem a strawberry

That was what Jace had said when he had told you that you looked pretty with your new dress. And the nickname had stuck.

“It is! It’s your fault and your stupid jokes” you argued, crossing your arms in front of your chest. Usually, that gesture would make you self-conscious, as it made your breasts look even bigger; still, Jace’s company was comfortable, and you had learnt to be yourself in front of him.

“Sorry, sorry” Jace said. “I won’t, I promise I won’t do it again”

“Sure” you rolled your eyes, not believing him.

Conversation came back to you when Jace commented something about Alec and Magnus, and soon you were both teasing your best friends. It was always like that; you and Jace together, you drooling over the man of your dreams and Jace spending a good time with his best friend.

The place you had chosen to spend the afternoon was lovely. You had been wanting to try it for months, and finally Jace had gotten the hint. You weren’t a shadowhunter, so your schedules were complicated. Not always you could meet, and you made sure to enjoy each second of it when you did.

“Hey, sorry to interrupt” Jace said suddenly, cutting you off. He was looking at you with those puppy eyes that could make you do anything.

“I’m not asking for the waitress’ number” you stated, ignoring the pang of hurt that hit your chest. Jace didn’t have problems in flirting with other women in front of you, and it was what you should do to.

“No, none of that this time” he laughed, and you breathed relieved. You wouldn’t want to be in that situation ever again. “Why would I want any girl’s number when I have you?”

Quickly, your cheeks turned red and you looked away from his blue piercing eyes, finding the cold streets of that November very interesting. For the past few months, Jace had become used to compliment you every chance he got. You knew Isabelle was behind, knowing that you had self esteem issues and that you tended to put yourself down. She had tried to make you see yourself as the beautiful girl you were, yet it wasn’t until she got Jace to compliment you that she finally managed to raise it a little.

“Shut up” you mumbled, fidgeting with the can of soda in your hands.

“Aren’t you the cutest, berry” Jace said, and his hand searched for yours. “Going back to the main event. I do have something to ask you.”

“Do I have to listen to it?” you raised your brow, giving him a shy smile.

“Actually, yes. That’s what you get for being my best-friend, Y/N”

“If there is no other choice”

Jace’s next words were camouflaged with the bell’s door ringing. The place wasn’t awfully full, though it was nearly winter and people loved a hot chocolate with a good muffin. You turned your head to see who was entering and Jace looked over your shoulder; he saw nothing wrong, just a bunch of dudes, and you were glad you weren’t facing him.

As soon as you recognised them, your heart fell to your feet. You had been spending a good time with Jace, laughing and getting a huge boost of confidence; but you knew it was going to get cut short.

“Um, I…I’m going to the bathroom” you mumbled, looking down to your lap and picking up your purse. Your hands were starting to sweat as you felt their stares in your back.

Meanwhile, Jace frowned, not understanding the sudden change of behaviour. Was it something he had said? Maybe the compliment? His mind started working over the last few words that had left his mouth, trying to find something that might had hurt you. He found nothing, and you almost ran to the bathroom, the white door closing behind you.

Jace turned his head and looked to where you had disappeared, the question dying in his parted lips. He looked back to the desk, your soda and the cake you were sharing not so appetizing in that moment.

“Dude” someone said, and the blonde looked up to meet two boys, about his age, with expensive clothes and not so friendly smiles. “You’re Phant friend, right?”

He blinked confused, looking around to look for said person. Only a couple with one little kid and two teenagers were in the coffee, all of them minding his own business. The waitress was checking something behind the counter, and outside no one was looking at them. Jace scratched the back of his neck, not knowing who could they be talking about.

“Uh, sorry guys, don’t know any Phant” he explained.

“No, you know her!” the other guy snickered. “She was sitting here a few seconds ago.”

“I’m surprised the chair isn’t broken”

Ignoring the offensive remark, the frown returned to Jace’s face. The only person that had been sitting in front of him were you, and he knew that your name wasn’t Phant. His eyes narrowed when he finally linked your sudden need to go the bathroom with those douches’ appearance.

“That’s not her name”

The boys made that god awful sniggering sound, that to Jace seemed as if a pig was dying agonizingly, and glanced at each other. Jace felt the need to punch them unconscious, and he hadn’t even heard what they had in them.

“Well, you know. Phant, as Elephant. Are you part of her circus, gothic boy?” Jace’s expression remained blank as the boy talked, his fist tightening under the desk. “She-She’s fat dude. You understand, right? Fat. Elephant.”

“Maybe he only speaks demon’s language” the second guy, who was hiding behind the other one, joked.

Jace’s dark clothes didn’t bother him. The awful, and well too known joke, about his gothic appearance didn’t bother him; hell, he had joked with you thousands of times about how he would join a gothic band. Them implying that he talked with demons, didn’t bother him. What bother him was that he hadn’t known about the ‘Phant’ sooner.

“Where do you know her from?” Jace asked, not giving away his anger.

“We work with her, in the bakery. Check that she doesn’t ends with all those cakes, she has eaten enough for all her life.”

Suddenly, Jace was up and face to face with the guys, who took two steps backwards. They didn’t expect him to look so angry, to be so tall and so damn intimidating. Their eyes widened.

“Think you’re funny?” he glanced down to their clothes; even if they were expensive, they were still wearing the shirt of the bakery, that held their names in tags. Couldn’t be more stupid if they tried. “Douglas, what kind of name is that? Did your mother hate you or something, hm?”

“H-Hey man, we were joking. Don’t take it-“

“And Darren” Jace let out a soft laugh. “Honestly, I’ve never heard such a pathetic names. As pathetic as you. Do you like to mock someone’s weight? To lay out their insecurities?”

By then, the little kid was looking at them while the couple talked about their day, and one of the teenagers was sparing glances at the argument, with a small smile on her lips. Jace sucked in air through his teeth, taking advantage of his superior height; he was fuming.

“We didn’t-“

“Mean it? You didn’t mean it?” Jace laughed bitterly. “What’s the matter, no luck with the ladies so you have to mess with the one you can’t have?”

“No, it isn’t like that” Darren, the second one, answered, feeling protected by his mate’s body; who was shaking as a leaf.

“You lacking in a certain department so you need to feel more mainly?” Jace growled, and heard the teenager snickering behind him. Purposefully moving his arm so that his blade was touching the asshole’s crotch, Jace moved forwards. “Leave Y/N alone. Stop being assholes and fucking grow up. You’re going to look for another job, cause if I see you in her bakery, I’m ripping your lungs out, alright? With my hands.”

Douglas whimpered and Darren tried to find something to say, yet only came out as short and pathetic cries. Jace was ready to push the blade farther into the boy’s crotch when he felt the comforting smell of your shampoo behind him, and your comforting hand on his tensed bicep.

“Jace” you said, keeping your eyes on the ground. People around the coffee were starting to take interest in the scene, and you didn’t want Jace to be in trouble because of you. “Let’s go”

Jace cleared his throat, smiling at you and his dazzling blue eyes lost all the rage he had had moments ago. He placed the blade back into his waist with a swift movement, and place his arm on your shoulder.

“I was having a nice conversation with this guys” Jace’s smile didn’t drop, but when his eyes met the boys they darkened. “Talking about how difficult it might be to find a job this times, right?”

“Y-yeah”

“Well, we better go berry” Jace turned you around and started walking towards the exit, leaving two bills on the counter and telling the waitress to keep the change.

The chill air greeted you when he opened the door, waiting until you were out to walk behind you. Loud voices, car horns and violin music made you feel disorientated for a second, and you pulled your jacket closer to your body. Hugging yourself, you looked towards Jace, who seemed to have something in his mind. Your teeth chattered and your cheeks soon were pink from the cold, the anxiety tears you had let out in that bathroom feeling frozen against your cheeks.

“Your place?” Jace asked, taking a step closer to you. He rubbed his hands up and down your arms, wanting you to feel calm and warm. Wanted you to know he was there for you.

You blinked quickly and sniffled through your nose, nodding. The way to your apartment was printed in Jace’s mind; all those times where he had appeared in the middle of the night with injuries and nasty bruises. Movie weekends where you would do nothing more than eating junk food.

Without another word, Jace placed his arm back in your shoulders and started walking, both of you deep in your thoughts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soft Christmas music was heard through the speakers, and Jace clumsy steps in your kitchen. As soon as you had crossed that door, Jace had forced you to sit in the couch; he had helped you change in your favourite pyjamas, enveloped you with blankets and was preparing hot chocolate for you. You heard him curse under his breath each time he burnt himself, and you smiled little by little.

The tears had disappeared from your cheeks, replaced by a warm and fluffy feeling in your chest. Having Jace with you and knowing that he had faced the people who made fun of you made your day better. You wouldn’t have to see those assholes again, hear how they call you ‘Phant’ and accuse you from eating all the sweets in the bakery. Sun was shinning on you and a sudden rush of confidence hit you.

“Jace?” you called him, and watched as his face appeared in the doorframe. He had his hair pulled back in a bun, his face was strained with chocolate and held his hands up, trying not to touch anything.

He made some humming noise and gave you a smile, encouraging you to say whatever you had in your mind. Problem was that you forgot to ask him how long until the chocolate was done, and let your heart speak for you.

“God, I love you”

The silly smile you had in your face disappeared when his eyes widened, and you opened your mouth in surprise. It was supposed to be a private thought, not something that could escape your mouth. The music became distant and you felt your whole face turn red, your breathing picking up.

“D-Did I say that out loud?”

Jace nodded slowly, your words taking him by surprise. He didn’t expect them at all, used to the shy girl who couldn’t even tell him if he had drawn the rune correctly. It wasn’t as if he didn’t like them, he loved them. But he couldn’t bring himself to react.

“What are you looking at?!” you spat at him hiding your face between your hands and trying to disappear in a ball of embarrassment.

It was not easy to love Jace, not when you weren’t as thin as Isabelle or as pretty as Clary. Even if you liked to fool yourself in your dreams, you knew someone like him, blond, blue eyed and handsome, couldn’t end up like someone like you, plain, boring, fat. Thighs touching each other, bigger chest than most girls and rolls in your tummy that made you shy of show yourself.

You thought back about all those times where someone had told you not to eat that, because you’ve already eaten enough. Or don’t you want to go to the gym? It will be good for you. Boys rejecting you because of your weight, not being able to go to the beach because of your big size, hiding under wide clothes and having difficulties to find them. Small tears pooled in your eyes, and the familiar lump in your throat appeared.

A warm hand raised your chin slowly, and you came face to face with Jace, who had a comforting smile on his face.

“I’m looking at you, berry” he whispered, almost afraid of breaking the peace of the moment. “I’m looking at you because you’re so goddamn gorgeous that you make me believe in angels.”

“Don’t lie to my face” you muttered.

He was used to that answer; when he gave you a compliment, he always got the same, fake anger of sass. Although that time your voice was weaker, and you were looking at him in the eyes. As if you wanted to find out if he really meant his words. If he really reciprocated yours.

“I’m not lying” he chuckled, and placed a hand on your knee. Slowly, he made his way between them, and you noses were touching. “I do think you’re the most gorgeous woman in this world. And I’m dying to prove you, if you let me”

There was no malice in his voice, not hint of joke, as you have heard so many times in people that had ‘wanted’ to meet you. You bit your bottom lip and crossed your arms in front of you to provide much needed comfort. This was the moment where you had to tell him everything, that you had practise with Isabelle so many times. Yet, how do you tell someone that you love him, yet you don’t think you’re worthy of him?

“I, uh, I have feeling for you, Jace. For so long, so long” you chuckled, looking at his eyes shyly. Remembering how your heart sped up every time he was in the room. “B-But I don’t think I’m enough. I’ve never been with anyone, kissed anyone. I’m no-Jace, I’m fat! I’m not Clary, or the thins girls you like! Y-You don’t want me and I don’t enjoy you teasing me.”

You finished your small speech with a sigh, returning your eyes to your lap. You couldn’t bear the realisation of not wanting you in his eyes. Tears that you had tried to keep away dropped down your cheeks, and you tried to clean them with your sleeve.

Jace caught your wrist and searched for you eyes. Once he made sure you were looking at him and not drowning in your thoughts and insecurities, he talked.

“All I’ve ever wanted was you. You’re too blinded with your insecurities to realised that you’re beautiful, berry” he explained, and placed your hand back on your thigh; when he gripped it. “I like you, and I want you to let me show you how much.”

His hot breath was hitting your mouth, and you were tempted to close your eyes, and enjoy the dream. Because you were sure it couldn’t be anything unless that, a dream were the boy you loved was telling you those sweet things. Jace’s nose touched yours and he smiled, admiring every inch of your face. How the unshed tears made your eyes brighter. The small imperfections that made your cheeks even prettier. Your lips trying to fight back a smile, and your nose as red as a strawberry.

Jace adjusted his head and pressed his mouth against yours, making you forget about every insecurity you had. As he moulded his lips with yours, you closed your eyes slowly, bringing one hand to his blonde hair, fearful of doing something wrong. He pushed you a bit backwards and his hand found its place on the back of your neck.

You kissed until you couldn’t breathe, he kissed you until you were giggling between his arms, and that night he worshiped you as the goddess you were in his eyes.

Because his strawberry deserved all of that and more.

[misfit group mms]

[tessa]: oh, it's nice to be home on a Friday night [tessa]: I love the ALA con but my pajamas are so much more comfortable

[dot]: says you and Ragnor, maybe. The rest of you got any plans? I've got itchy feet but I can't decide what I want to do or where to go

[magnus]: you always have itchy feet

[dot]: you're one to talk

[cat]: so you're crowdsourcing for ideas?

[dot]: why not?

[cat]: Sorry, I have to work a double tomorrow, I'm with Tessa. Tea and putting my feet up, that's the life

[magnus]: Alexander and I are going dancing.

[cat]: I can see your giddy smile from here, you've got it bad

[magnus]: Yes, I do

[raphael]: you've had worse taste, I must admit

[magnus]: was that a compliment?

[raphael]: he's not a total idiot. He has a sense of humor, too

[tessa]: what [tessa]: did you make a joke? One someone else could recognize rather than one where you laughed at them in your head? And then he GOT IT? [tessa]: Magnus, your boy's magical, I can't wait to meet him

[magnus]: not today, sorry darling

[dot]: oh we know. Have fun

[magnus]: so much fun

[raphael]: please don't give us the details

[magnus]: just for that, you're getting pictures tonight [magnus]: so many pictures [magnus]: every possible outfit combination [magnus]: every menu item I consider for dinner [magnus]: every step in line on the way to the club

[raphael]: why are you such an asshole

[magnus]: but I'll stop once we get inside [magnus]: because I love you

[dot]: or because Pandemonium uses those weird spotlights and strobes so most pics look terrible

[cat]: oh no, it's because Magnus will be too busy admiring Alec

[raphael]: never thought I'd be thankful for Magnus' libido

[magnus]: harsh. I'll have you know he has a beautiful soul

[dot]: you're not going to a club to grind against Alec's *soul*

[cat]: apparently he can multi-task. Enjoy his soul, pretty eyes, and how he moves his hips?

[magnus]: stop objectifying my boyfriend [magnus]: or wait 'til he can hear you so I can at least enjoy him blushing

[cat]: ah, young love

[magnus]: you're the same age I am

[cat]: but I'm not in love, thank god, it sounds exhausting

[magnus]: bah humbug?

[ragnor]: exactly [ragnor]: But I also have plans, actually. Quieter ones.The observatory's doing a talk on the Lyrids, and then they're having a midnight picnic while we see how well they show up

[dot]: oooh. Can I come?

[ragnor]: if you can get here in half an hour, it's a bit of a drive to the site. Have to get far enough out of town to avoid the worst of the light pollution

[dot]: on it

[magnus]: hmmm, I have to start planning my photo montage [magnus]: you're gonna love it, Raphael [magnus]: you should get a new SD card [magnus]: so you can save them ALL

[cat]: I'm so sorry, Raphael

[magnus]: OH. IT'S ON. YOU'RE GETTING THEM TOO

[cat]: ohnomyphone'sdyingwhatwasthat

[tessa]: have fun, children. And Ragnor.

[maia]: Alec's here. With Magnus. Dancing. In public. Holy shit Magnus can dance. Alec's not bad, but wow. WOW.

[simon]: why are you telling me this when I can't come &see it for myself? That's just mean

[maia]: so you can tell Becky and she can give you that look that she does when she doesn't believe you? Because that look's hilarious

[simon]: you are a cruel woman

[maia]: you're just jealous Becky likes me better

[simon]: Everyone likes you better. You are objectively the best, I am proud of everyone for liking you better.

[maia]: awww. That was really sweet you big dork

[simon]: 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[maia]: less sweet, more dork

[simon]: hey, at least I didn't try and make long-stemmed rose emojis for you [simon]: that'd be a bit much

[maia]: SPEAKING OF A BIT MUCH [maia]: I think there's glitter in Alec's hair. From Magnus' ... Everything?

[simon]: WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS? I hate Pandemonium's lighting, I can't even ask you to get pics, they never come out

[maia]: well Lydia's seen Alec do this before, apparently, the dancing at least if not the glitter, and Clary's right here staring at them with me, and I can't very well tell Izzy or Jace, they're all stuck in *wait are we supposed to worry about him now?* mode and it's clearly very confusing for them that their big brother is his own person and has sex. Possibly a lot of sex? Alec and Magnus are very close together with this dancing thing. [maia]: They're really hot, babe

[simon]: I'm your last choice? AND you're telling me other boys are hot? I'm hurt

[maia]: no you're not, you know I love you (and you also know they're hot)

[simon]: I do, don't I? Love you too.

[maia]: were you agreeing with both of those?

[simon]: obviously [simon]: I can get away with that 'cause he's not actually my brother and also I know you'll never tell him I said that because you like me enough not to want me to be QUITE that mortified [simon]: aw shit, you'd totally tell Becky or Clary tho. Please don't tell Becky & Clary

[maia]: I'll consider it 😏 [maia]: Clary's probably safe. She seems really weirded out by Alec's date-behavior. Pointing out that we both already knew he was hot might make her head explode. [maia]: do you think it's because she thinks of Alec as a brother or just because he's so *Alec* iykwim?

[simon]: probably both. Clary's good at multi-tasking her emotions

[maia]: Was that a compliment or an insult?

[simon]: no idea [simon]: and Bubbie's back, gotta go. She did want to know if you're still good for Shabbat next week?

[maia]: course. Tell her I'll bring the wine

[simon]: told you everyone should like you best 😍

[maia]: 😘

[aline]: what

[clary]: i KNOW. right. I did not know that was a thing for Alec. Maybe it's just Magnus is a thing for Alec? That would make more sense, I don't think he knew what he looked like at that point but MAGNUS HAD THIS LITTLE SMILE WHEN HE SAID aLEC's name and it was amazing and adorable and istg he's so beautiful i want his vests like all of them do you think if they get married I could borrow his vests?

[aline]: clary. You need to, idk. I cannot follow this story and if you don't figure it out I'm going to call you and if that doesn't help I'm going to call EVERYONE YOU ARE EVEN SORT OF RELATED TO UNTIL SOMEONE EXPLAINS

It never falls out of those braids

[aline]: BREATHE

[clary]: ok

[aline]: drink some water

[clary]: ok

[aline]: try again

[clary]: so Alec has a boyfriend who he met via an accidental email message or something like in an actual freaking movie [clary]: and for their first date they came to THE HUNTER'S MOON AND SIMON'S GIG LAST WEEK

[aline]: why would anyone start with that

[clary]: and then they left early and Alec's was freshly shaved when he got to the bookstore the next *afternoon* like he had only just managed to get home and clean up before he had to show up and also he keeps smiling and I have a suspiciousness he hasn't slept back at his own place all week

[aline]: how did starting with meeting our family work, that's impossible

[clary]: I have no damn clue but we tried to tease him at dinner last week and now Maryse invited Magnus (that's the boyfriend in case I forgot that part?) to family dinner this week and apparently he said YES [clary]: IT'S BEEN A WEEK and ALEC IS BRINGING HIS OBYFRIENDTOD INNER S unday wait it's like almost three that's TOMORROW

[aline]: Alec's never invited anyone to a family anything ever. I've never even managed to figure out if he's ever gone on a date because wherever he goes it's not where any of us are. EVER.

[clary]: OH HE DATES NOW [clary]: I SAW THEM AT PANDEMONIUM TONIGHT AND I [clary]: they were *dancing* and I was maybe 4 people away and Alec didn't even notice [clary]: and Alec's my *brother* and they're boys but even I could tell they were really hot. as in people were staring hot and Alec didn't care

[aline]: holy shit

[clary]: like. I really don't want to know this about them but they may have had sex in the bathroom because let me tell you Alec was all blushing and dark eyed and hi's HAIR and you know that loose-happy-post-orgasm thing was going on with the dancing

[aline]: I don't want to know this about them or you that you would recognize that, you're twelve

[clary]: I am TWENV. I'm TWEMT fucking 21

[aline]: maybe he'd just had a drink and was enjoying a night out [aline]: ...

[clary]: yeah. Cuz that's not LESS WEIRD? Alec drinking and going out in public and not noticing someone he knows near-by? (MAIA. ME. we're not subtle) ALEC NOT NOTICING FAMILY? I HAVE NEVER. You have never. NEVER.

[aline]: this is the most disturbing conversation to be having. Especially with you

[clary]: WHY ESPECIALLY ME? You've known Izzy since she ewas actually a bb izzy and me since i was a teenager why'mI worse? [clary]: and i am not a virgin wtf aline you took me to the 18nighht at Galore togetherallthetime before you met Helen. And after you met Helen but before either of you had the balls to ask her out. Or the other her. Or you. I think I lost track of the nouns in that sentence

[aline]: drink more water

[clary]: k

[aline]: and then get some sleep

[clary]: BUT aLEC AND mAGNUS

[aline]: are adults and apparently very happy about that fact, they'll be fine

[clary]: but Izzy and Jace are being WEIRD ABOUT IT i need help

[aline]: why? How? What do you think I'm going to do from a different continent? And are you even going to remember this conversation after you get some sleep?

[clary]: that's why typing i can read it if i forgot

[aline]: uh. I think that's going to go a little differently than you expect

[clary]: oh, Simon's saved everysingle durmngdi drunk text I've ever sent him, this is way more like real words than usual

[aline]: that's terrifying I can't know that you're twelve

[clary]: stop saying that!

[aline]: you're drunk texting me about your brother's boyfriend [aline]: who you actually called both gorgeous and hot like he's a celebrity on a poster [aline]: stop acting like you're twelve

[clary]: oh [clary]: point [clary]: but

[aline]: and honestly considering Alec I think you're the one being weird [aline]: it's perfectly normal to be worried about someone doing something out of character

[clary]: ugh not you too [clary]: but the SMILES [clary]: the way they just. Everything. [clary]: I think they're soulmates

[aline]: there's no such thing

[clary]: I didn't think so either. but now?  [clary]: aw shit the tired hit I gotta go sleep [clary]: love you

[aline]: but [aline]: god damn it [aline]: I’m calling you back in six hours to wake you up and make you suffer

***

[aline]: I just had the weirdest conversation with Clary

[helen]: it's 3 in the morning there

[aline]: drunk!Clary. Not even why it was weird though. I think.

[helen]: what she's twelve she can't be drunk texting people on the other side of the planet, that's just wrong

[aline]: that's what I said!

[helen]: great minds

[aline]: hot bods

[helen]: 🥂

[aline]: 💕

[helen]: so what did drunk Clary have to say that was even weirder than the fact that drunk Clary was texting you from the other side of the planet?

[aline]: Alec brought a date to Simon's gig last week and they're going to family dinner Sunday AND they were apparently at Pandemonium last night. Alec didn't notice Clary. While he was dancing. In public. With some guy *Clary* called hot and gorgeous and beautiful.

[helen]: wtf Clary's possibly even more gay than you are. She and Alec are both solid sixes.

[aline]: I KNOW, RIGHT?

[helen]: I don't know what to do with this information

[aline]: exactly [aline]: and Clary was in all seriousness (I think) calling them soulmates and then she decided she was tired and stopped talking to me

[aline]: and it's 3am there everyone else is probably asleep  [aline]: I'm just staring at my phone. I feel like I should do something with all this? But there's nothing?

[helen]: so you had to share the WTF with me?

[aline]: obviously

[helen]: well [helen]: thanks? [helen]: but I'm at my stop so you're gonna have to figure out the WTF on your own for awhile

[aline]: but I don't wanna

[helen]: too bad

[aline]: ha. Just for that, I'm going back to bed. Blankets and pillows and that one line of sunlight that makes it through between the curtains...

[helen]: I hate you

[aline]: love you too, babe. 👋🏼

Northern Migration- Chapter 25 (Notes+Preview)

Surprise! I’m updating about a week after my last update! Don’t get used to it, though. It’s only because I’ve been on break. I have classes again tomorrow, and finals seasons is about ready to slap me in the face. Hopefully you’ll see me again for the holidays. (Speaking of the holidays, we’re nearing the one year mark for when this fic first started wowza).

Like always, this is brimming with spoilers, so proceed forwards at your own risk.

Spoilers!

I messed around with that Taako scene for ages, trying to make the first distilled look into his character. I have a lot of trouble writing him, especially since I’m always trying to find a happy mixture of what he’s like in the show, what he’s like in the fanon, and what he would be like in the universe of this fic. I did my best. I’m not one-hundred-percent happy with it, but considering I rewrote the entire scene right before posting, I think it’s functional.

Since the next chapter is already written, I know that I’m going to keep mentioning layers of clothing as being a status of wealth. This is a part of what I plan on doing with the future flashback chapter into their history on their home plane. I feel like I have to mention it so that you get an idea of how the cultures are different, but it’s also annoying because it’s hard for me to convey that this is a cultural aspect that supposed to be different from Faerun.

Apparently, eyeballs help keep the structure of your head. I also did not know that.

Everyone in the TAZ fandom is a coward for not giving Taako a beard, and I’m counting Justin in that. Artists who give him stubble can stay, but you’re all on thin ice.

One thing I’m trying to figure out is a balance between people recognizing Avi in his old age because they know him well, and people not recognizing him because, honestly, I see pictures of my own dad as a young man and he’s a completely different person.

When John says “give your hands now,” it’s a purposeful twist of Merle doing the exact same thing in chapter 5.

I know I said this before—but John’s philosophy is so close to being that of some hero that it’s honestly scary.

As a kid, as I started thinking about perspective and morality, I also realized that a lot of what we considered right or wrong can be manipulated by whose point of view we’re viewing it from. And, as a preteen, I used that as justification for a lot of bad things. A lot of how I’m writing John is just thinking about how someone could’ve manipulated me into thinking or doing anything, and just giving him the opportunity to get Stevie to think that way as well. Like John has no way of knowing about Piper repeating all of her dad’s bad political beliefs (remember Piper and Gansey from chapter 3?), but he gets people. And I think he would know that, in her situation, Stevie would be thinking about morality in a way that would be easily manipulated in his favor.

All that being said: you’re a lot of fun to write John, but fuck you.

I don’t know yet if I want John to be aware of the Seven Birds concept, but in case I do eventually decide that he does, Vultures is a very on the nose confession of what he ultimately wants Stevie to believe. If I decide to make it so that he never knows, then it’s just me (the author) making an on the point piece of foreshadowing of what his plans are going to be.

John is a bard. Fight me.

And here’s a thought: this is the first time in the story where Stevie gets to have fun and it’s not interrupted by plot bullshit.

Originally, Lucas was going to have the weird crush on Avi, and it was going to be something that was going to making Johann feel extra sure about never confessing, but Avi already has so many other shit going on that I had to redistribute some things.

That being said, Sloane and Avi having this bitter history together is very important to me. With Griffin wanting TAZ to be about found family, I sort of wanted to take the opportunity to explore the idea of two people who became family before it was ruined. Basically, since Lucretia didn’t destroyed her family (minus Taako being pissed), I had to destroy another family.

Avi being in debt to someone is the reoccurring theme of his life. He was in debt to the Hammerheads, then Sloane, and now Bane and Barry. This guy constantly owes other people things.

Things that are also very important to me: Ren being fiercely protective of all her friends.

I can’t remember if Merle in canon couldn’t remember if he made a sash or a belt, but I’m taking Clint’s endless confusion over the two as an excuse to make it so.

I was going to write a scene where Davenport discovered that he can’t learn sign language, but I didn’t have the space and beyond just filling in a potential loophole, it didn’t really add more to Davenport. Like, he know he’s suffering. I don’t need to remind you that much.

The same goes for the cutting of a scene where Magnus is helping Julia learn how to walk. Again, there was a space issue and the fact that it wasn’t them actually making it up allowed me to feel like I can get around writing it. That being said, it still hurt to not write it. 

Also, hey! Only two relics left to this story! I still have to write like three more interlude chapters before we can even get cracking on that, but now you can see how much progress we’re actually making in this fic!

This is such a minor detail, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out if I want stoves to be a thing in this world or not. I know that I decided a long time ago that everyone was going to have hearths except for the Starblaster, which was going to be technologically advanced enough to have an actual stove, but there’s not enough cooking in this damn fic to convey that idea. And when it does come up, it’s at Lucas’s lab, which would also be advanced enough to have a stove, but not one as advanced as the Starblaster. AND I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO EVEN CONVEY THIS IDEA. One time, I thought I could emphasize how almost scared Julia was of the stove, but then I remembered that she has had a decade to get used to it. SO YEAH. I JUST DON’T KNOW.

I know that I have to acknowledge any reasonable feelings Julia would have involving becoming disabled, but I’m also trying to be careful to make sure it doesn’t come off as condescending or pitying towards disabled folks. I’m trying to strike a balance, and I’m never sure how well I’m doing with.

Julia’s prosthetic leg is based upon prosthetic legs used for runners in the Special Olympics. I am going to add a link to a reference here, but it’s late and I might forget. If you noticed that I forgot, tell me and I’ll add it.

Stevie likes snow because it’s snowing in parley. She likes rainbows because the black scars on John’s face is holographic.

Also, Lucretia is gay. She’s like, super duper gay. Supreme gay.

I feel like I put down what color Taako’s magic is somewhere in this fic, but I don’t feel like looking through the entire thing in search of it, so right now I’m just writing around having to state its color for as long as possible.

The item Taako used to make the hole in the floor is the Hole Thrower. Don’t ask me where he got it.

Originally, I had a scene like two chapters back where Taako saw Angus, thus making his comments about seeing a kid around make a lot more sense. However, I convinced myself to get a little sneakier about Angus being on the ship and then proceeded to forget about it. Considering how much effort I usually put into foreshadowing everything (and this is still without a written outline), I’m going to give myself a pass on the bad writing this time around.

Like I mentioned in the chapter notes, I’m off break now and starting finals, so next update will take a long time. Feel free to talk to me on here and generally strike up a friendship. I’m a very lonely person. Anyway, here’s the preview for the next chapter:

Angus McDonald sits with his hands folded calmly on his lap, fancy clothes unruffled as he looks up at the circle of adults surrounding him. It’s plain from the slight quirk in his brow that nothing about being held up in the Starblaster kitchen is by any means threatening. He sits, mouth in a tight line, as he waits for his turn to speak.

“You’re such a drama queen,” Lucretia says dully, pressing a bag of frozen peas to Taako’s face.

He takes it gladly, practically collapsed against the kitchen counter as he moans. Angus’s hardy kick was just enough to make a single drop of blood creep down from his nose. “I’m dying, Lucy. When I go, tell Merle he could fuck off.”

“Whatever I do to you?” Merle demands, turning from his job of standing by Davenport’s side to shout.

Davenport, all the while, has his arms folded over his chest. His eyes are set in a harsh glare that makes Angus shift in his seat. Every adult in the room Angus is pretty sure he can handle, but Davenport is somewhere on the level of a god. Flanking each of his sides is one of the Burnsides, with Magnus in a pair of paint-splattered work clothes and Julia in a chair, her prosthetic leg still in her daughter’s possession. The kid was ordered to leave the room, but Angus saw her creep back in, armed with the prosthetic leg and a set of paints. She claimed the corner directly across from him. Every now and then, Merle and Taako make gestures grand enough that Angus catches a glimpse of the girl watching him as a curious spectator.

Davenport sighs, then nudges Magnus’s leg. At the cue, Magnus bends down into a squat, perfectly leveled with Angus’s eyes. “Angus. What are you doing here?”

“I—” Angus closes his mouth. He shifts until he’s back to the picture of innocence.

“We’re not mad at you,” Magnus says. “It’s just… we do a lot of dangerous things, and I’m sure your job as a consultant is plenty dangerous enough—”

“Detective.”

Magnus pauses. “What?”

Angus preens. “If case you forgot, my name is Angus McDonald and I am the world’s greatest detective. If you’re trying to interrogate me, I suggest that you do your best to ensure that you’re coming in with the most accurate information.”

tazchat: you don’t gotta be the damage sponge all the time

The Gang Fucks Up So Bad Just Like So Bad Y’all Like All Of Them Fuck Up

i forgot that this one just opens on a fuckin scene like griffin hatecrime mcelroy wanted me to suffer

barry liked legato. lup liked tesseralia. lucretia liked the beach year. magnus enjoys the feeling of dying. but his favorite? PUPPY TOWN. and davenport’s a bummer and says “home” was his favorite.

no words, no melody, just static.

“you’re singing static—“ “i’m singing—that redheaded kid, the singer, at the conservatory.”

what the fuck is going on, is this fisher?

sorry the fucking. announcer at the beginning has got me back on my lucretia and magnus as parallels bullshit. talkin bout protection. talkin about bearing that weight; they’re not strong enough, i have to be. like objectively i feel that magnus is the most likely to do What Lucretia Did and i feel like there’s fridge justification there in the inherent recklessness of young humans (lucretia being ~18 and magnus being ~20) but also. they really are just two sides of the same coin. i love it.

Glimmers Of Hope!

magnus somehow becomes an artificer like in spite of Not Being A Mage... god what a boy

MAGNUS HAS ONE ASSET, HE WAS TOO BUSY GETTING SO MANY BONDS. aw taako gives some over actually. they’re good buds. and merle gives another. aw. Now I’m The Baby Of The Bunch But I Brought Two Friends Along

“we need to lean into the dramatic irony”

justin is so good at making up weapons holy shit. HIGH FANTASY magic glaive. BEJEWELED. camelcase.

merle gets a stick that gives him advantage. fuck yes. also. i’m about to lose my mind at justin’s will forte impression

magnus’ helmet. it’s got ram’s horns which is all to say tiefling julia confirmed. and then a fucking necklace.

A Wizard’s Duel as a lup song confirmed

griffin said “umbrella,” and justin said “OH FUCK YOU.” like did he not realize.

“you look like a clown.” “yeah, like a cool clown.” “don’t play the pennywise card, like you always try to.” “well, there’s no accounting for taste!”

STRAT MEETING!!!

magnus bein scared by barry’s lich form is canon.

“IT’S THE CRAVEABILITY.” “fine. sure, the craveability.”

UNless unLESS

but it won’t work!!!

lucretia doesn’t want responsibility for this!!!

magnus doesn’t wanna hurt the world!!! but this is better than the alternative

YOUR PLAN WON’T WORK EITHER QUEEN

and lup just shuts her down immediately jesus christ

“you don’t know that! you don’t know what i’m saying!” baby :’(

“I love good shield. I wish there was a third option where we could just fight it and kill it, but, uh. I don’t wanna decide for a world—either of ‘em.”

“the meat shield here can protect us“ / “what the fuck are you talking about.”

Lucretia Will Remember This.

“lucretia i promise you on my life, on my second life, this’ll work!

“i cannot WAIT to find out what these seven items are.”

HOW DID HE MAKE THAT FUCKIN CUP.

they really got it in an HOUR on toril damn

PLANTFUCKING JOKE

echoes of home on it and i am still on my angus is faerûn’s equiv of lucretia bullshit please make me talk about this dumb fucking joke theory

magnus’ dumb ass gets lost because he forgets he’s mortal and forgot water and shit. baby boy. and then he meets a dad and a baby, and he accidentally founds a city. fuck yes.

HEY EVERYBODY THERE’S A COOL ROCK IN THIS WELL TELL EVERYONE FOREVER

the gaia shaft, in gold’s cliff. hard same clint

like canonically the majority of people on faerûn search for the relics so i think it would be Interesting (Fanservice) if we saw moments w/ carey killian avi jules johann hurley sloane in this bit but whatever griffin

back when this aired, i had totally forgot about lucretia’s speech post crystal kingdom which is NEARLY WORD FOR WORD this griffin monologue damn

YOU DON’T SEE ANYTHING CHANGE, AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM. WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW HAUNTS YOU.

okay so they spent 11/10.5 years apart. that’s what we have.

my morning cuirass is SO GOOD. good joke travis.

that barry thinks fantasy mmj is “bumping” is all you need to know about him

magnus doesn’t know what to do next!!! he’s fuckin aimless!!! baby

leland palmer and merle highchurch are the same character

YOU GOTTA DANCE EVERY DAY! best dad.

lucretia is distressed as fuck. she and lup are hanging out and just being Sad Girlz.

i just stopped learning math! i have to learn math again! i have to make life! it just—seems weird.

“you’re my family.”

“everybody else, except for the six of you, everybody else was dust. talking dust. so, yeah, i started worrying a lot more about me, because what was the fucking point.” that speech gets me every time good job justin

oh fuck it was 10 years apart!!! only a decade!!! so lucretia is ~20 when the forgetting goes down and magnus is ~22 when he meets julia. the younger human ages really fuck with me!!!

sometimes there’s just. decisions!!!

“i wouldn’t have made it here without you. we don’t say this enough—thank you.” that was the last conversation you ever had with your sister. when someone leaves your life, those exits are not made equal. i am no joke crying on the metro.

back soon!

and we see lucretia.

Here Fuck This Gnome: The Very Sad Sequel

“holy shit. i think it’s my birthday.”

“—wait—wait—you’re—where am i? you’re merle—“

kill me.

a dungeon in the felicity wilds. fuck!!!

“who?” IMPROV LINE OF THE CENTURY!!! JESUS. LIKE A FUCKING BUS HIT ME, FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS.

HE STRAIGHT UP KILLS A DUDE!!!

it’s a duck!!! 🦆

SHE’S CRYING!!!!

“god magnus, no, you weren’t supposed to—“ “what?” “i’m gonna find you a place where you can be happy again, it’ll only be a little while, and then you’ll remember—“ “who are you—“ “please, please, i love you, all of you, i’m sorry.”

the fucking static as it transitions into “lucretia...” poetic cinema

griffin is audibly tearing up talking about lucretia. “miserable, and anguished, and shut off from the world, that misery could be altered too.” NOT BY PLACING IT ON YOUR OWN SHOULDERS!!! GOD!!!

the beach—you thrived. at peace.

the years that followed gave you joy beyond measure.

everyone in the world deserved to be around you, and you deserve it too, to be recognized! and you are so, so loved.

she spent all of her spare time looking for lup!!! she couldn’t bear her absence. i’m weeping. i’m genuinely weeping at this.

okay so. bulwark, then wonderland, then maureen, then the bureau, then eggbabe. that’s the story.

FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH LONELINESS.

she could finally bring you home.

that is a BALLER COOKIE.

“we’re also getting closer as people, i guess.”

YOU GOT FAITH, IT’S FAITH IN YOU.

a radiant smile full of joy and relief—a smile you see now, as magnus, alive again, bursts into the room.

THIS IS IT!!!!

#i’m genuinely crying fyi

[demonic-activity]

Not for a lack of interest

I did a Thing :) // Malec fanfic // posted to AO3 little while ago // drunk Alec ♥

He was drunk.

There was no doubt about it now.

It was that awful moment in between relative sobriety and absolute off-your-rocker-complete-blackout-drunk. That moment where you are actually – and painfully – aware of the fact that you’re inebriated and no longer capable of pretending otherwise, but there is just nothing you can do about it. You can see other people looking at you, you can tell that they can tell. But it’s hopeless, you are on a one-way ticket to plasteredness and there is no turning back.

It’s embarrassing that’s what it is.

But yeah, hopeless. The damage is done.

The music is thumping loud, assaulting his eardrums and thankfully drowning out any attempts at conversation. Alec has no idea where anyone is, and he had also long given up on any acts resembling dancing a long time ago, so there’s that at least. He is stumbling back to the VIP section, in the hopes of hiding away there till the worst of it passes. Izzy apparently knows the owner or something (why is he not surprised?) and talked her way into getting the booth to herself and posse, a posse that Alec is unfortunate enough to be part of this evening. He just prays no one is there right now, because he really just needs to lie down for a second, maybe drink some water, make the world stop spinning... And pray to keep it all in and not toss his proverbial cookies all over the dance floor.

Apparently, the security guy at the VIP entrance is of a similar mind because he is eyeing Alec suspiciously. Damnit Lightwood. Come on, you got this: coordination, cohesiveness and …. comedic timing? No that can’t be right….

As he, while stumbling and slurring through his words, desperately tries to explain to an increasingly displeased looking bouncer that he really actually was in there earlier, Alec suddenly notices someone leaning in the entrance to the curtained-off section. Someone all amused smirks and twinkling eyes and tall and good shoulders and… Right. There went any chance for coherence. He swallows and the stranger seems to keenly observe the motion.

“That’s alright Emmanuel.” The stranger’s voice is velvety smooth and sounds exactly the way he looks: perfectly elegant and confident, but with an undertone of cheeky bemusement.

And beautiful.

He isn’t aware of taking the few steps forward and entering the VIP area (thankfully avoiding any drunken stumbles) but before he knows it, the thick curtain falls back into place behind him and, as far as he can see, it’s just him and the stranger. As the deafening bass is suddenly dampened, it feels like he stepped into a different world altogether. In a surreal sensation, the disgusting mass of sweating, heaving bodies and inane electronic music instantly seems miles away. That should feel like a relief. And, sure, his eardrums are most likely beyond grateful, but it’s like a brick just got dumped on his stomach. He’s again so very aware that he is in no way able to carry conversation, not with gorgeous strangers and dear god save him, not with a gorgeous man. The word echoes frantically through his brain as though looking for any of his usual defenses (Repression. That’s what Izzy calls it), but alcohol has given everyone the evening off and now it’s just him and his thoughts.

Fantastic.

So naturally his next thought is something along the lines of Fuck no, abort. Abort.abort.abort. AsAPPp. But before this message can slowly make its way to his limbs, the stranger speaks again. “I’ve seen you out there tonight.”

And fuck if that doesn’t do strange, wonderful things to his body. Pleasure licking at his veins, kicking up his heartbeat.

The man’s eyes drag over his body once more, tantalizingly slow, “You’re here with Isabelle, am I right?”

Okay, nodding, sure yes, he can do that.

“Friend, boyfriend?” the man makes his way to a simply obscene red velvet sofa and gestures for Alec to join him. He probably shouldn’t be staring as much as he is, but he is only human and fuck him, this man… is not. He’s wearing something silky and shimmering, pants he appeared to have been sown into, fingers bedecked with jewelry, make-up, glitter, the whole deal. But that’s not it, exactly … it’s how he moves in his fancy clothes, lithe and rhythmic, like he knows, he fucking knows, Alec absolutely cannot keep his gaze off of him. It’s the way his eyes, glittery but dark in the low lighting, simply burn. It’s hypnotic.

Ah crap.

“Uhm” he tries his best to pull the one word out of his empty fishbowl brain “… brother.”

Instead of carrying him out of here, out and away and home and safely in bed, his traitorous limbs sit him down on the sofa, maybe even a little closer than appropriate for two strangers who haven’t even exchanged names.

As if he read his mind (Alec really really hopes he can’t) the man smiles a bedazzling smile that flips Alec’s stomach faster than a scruffy three-bedroom in a gentrifying neighborhood, and says “Where are my manners”, looking like manners are absolutely the last thing on his mind, “I’m Magnus.”

“Magnus”, Alec repeats, unable to resist trying it out. And he has to bite his lip from repeating it over and over again like a secret chant, till it has lost all its meaning. Or maybe till everything else around him has lost meaning, and Magnus, Magnus, is the only thing that makes any sense.

The other man’s gaze flicks down to where Alec is still biting down on his lower lip and the man’s eyes seem to darken even impossibly further.

Alec shivers, all of a sudden feeling feverish, overwhelmed by thoughts and yearnings he is always so careful to keep at bay. And now here they all are: crammed into the increasingly narrow space between their two bodies. This is fast becoming the best and worst night of his life.

He is altogether not sure he’s not dreaming this up.

“So do you have a name as well, pretty boy?” Alec possibly would’ve been mortified instead of just embarrassed if Magnus hadn’t sounded slightly breathless himself.

It’s not unthinkable the intoxication also helped.

But damn it all, he has simply no desire to bite back the grin threatening to overtake his face. “Alec”

“Is that short for Alexander?”

Magnus stretches it out like its something special and provocative, alienating Alec from his own name, but it sounds like someone he wants to be. If only to hear him say it again.

“Well it’s definitely not short for ‘A-lack of interest’”

Oh jesus.

For a few seconds Magnus just blinks at him and Alec is cringing, trying to figure where in the seven hells that just came from. If he weren’t so terribly uncoordinated right now he would’ve smacked himself in the face. Possibly with a chair.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, THIS, is he why doesn’t go out!

But then Magnus bursts out into laughter, as in doubled-over-floored-absolutely-dying with laughter. And yeah, maybe it should make him feel worse, but the sound somehow settles him, it relieves him from a feeling of discomfort he normally can’t shake when he is around other people. Not to mention it’s a bewitching sound, warm and wonderful and he can’t help but want more. So Alec just kind of sits there, grinning sheepishly? Because that is who he is?

It takes Magnus about half a minute to calm down all the way to the point where he is just giggling intermittently, and he has to wipe away a few stray tears. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Wow, that… I really needed that apparently.” He exhales dramatically and shakes his head in disbelief. “You’re hilarious, and adorable.”

Alec can feel his nose scrunching up, “I don’t think I’ve ever been called either.”

Magnus puts a hand to his chest in exaggerated shock, “Well that simply can’t be true!”

He gives it a moment of good thought. “No I’m pretty sure.”

“Okay, what about gloriously good-looking?”

“Oh come on, Magnus, seriously?” He demands, tone indignant as he waves vaguely over the length of the other man’s body and face as though presenting an argument. Again, his thoughts only seem to catch up with his mouth an eternity later and he can feel his face heating up. It’s baffling. He has no clue who the hell he is anymore.

Magnus just lifts a single eyebrow at him, a sly hint of a smirk hiding in the corner of his mouth. And then he’s chuckling again, like he can’t help himself. “You’re perfect.”

“Well that’s a pretty crazy thing to say, you don’t even know me.”

But Magnus is just shaking his head like there’s something very obvious Alec is missing. And he can’t deny how it makes something flutter inside him, something restless and anxious. He realizes with a sudden shock the feeling is excitement. And it’s stupid but he can’t remember the last time he was truly excited about anything. He forgot how good it felt.

Manus smiles at him.

So beautiful.

So he smiles back, because… because this night is one the weirdest he’s ever had and maybe because he doesn’t quite want to let go of this feeling yet.

Magnus’ eyes suddenly turn soft and his voice is low, intensifying the fluttering in Alec’s stomach, “Would you like to kiss me?”

The ‘Yeah duh’ is on the tip of his tongue when Alec hesitates. It seems like the amount of almost sweet consideration that went into that question should be matched by a considerate response. He doesn’t even know if that makes sense or just sounds like it does inside his head, but he searches his entire mind, nonetheless: Everything that told him coming with Izzy tonight was a bad idea, that screamed abort not half an hour earlier, that ducks his head and averts his gaze and that makes up rules and routines and punishments for straying…. and he comes up blank. He cannot remember having a better time – in a long time. He feels so far from any of his usual worries.

And it’s indescribable how freeing it feels to not have to weigh his words, to have to carefully avoid slip-ups and mistakes, but instead be able to speak with complete honesty.

“More than anything.”

griffin: “the third figure is a fucking rhinoceros” magnus: “DIBS!”

the fact that angus is an 11 year old child and totally DOWN TO FIGHT just reinforces that i was right to make him my favorite npc

hell yeah we’re back to DND fights! they like rolled for initiative and everything

justin, after talking about taako’s leveling up: “should i talk slower so everybody who’s been complaining about us not playing dnd has time to nut. how’s everyone enjoying this GREAT COMPELLING AUDIO”

griffin: “this hand is gonna attack you, taako, cuz you just set it on fire”

magnus: “i jump on the back of the rhinoceros” griffin: “of COURSE you do”

taako: "hey magnus that was the coolest thing ive ever seen…HANDS DOWN!“ get it cuz they found a giant magical hand…GETIT?!

“YOU’RE DATING THE GRIM REAPER???” I LOVE HER SO GODDAMN MUCH

lup: “why didn’t you let me out sooner, dingus?” taako: “i didn’t remember you existed, goofus” THEY’RE SO ADORABLE

taako: “don’t worry, I’ve got MAGIC POWERS” magnus: “is that supposed to be a big reveal?”

the love between magnus and fisher is one of my favorite bonds of this whole show

everyone banding together to fight the big bad is one of my favorite tropes ever (what’s up pacific rim) so that everyone is doing that here is INCREDIBLE

magnus: “i use my levitation magic” griffin: “oh im sorry, did you say you take the elevator? the skype call broke up for a second there”

griffin: “magnus, something falls from the sky” magnus: “i catch it” griffin: “no you don’t, it’s pretty big”

i’m so glad that griffin is committed to calling killian, carey fangbattle, and noelle “Team Sweet Flipz”

lup: “here’s my idea, are you ready for it? it’s a banger”

griffin: “you remember that, taako, because your memory’s so good!”

griffin: “its upsy, your lifting friend” wait what. im sorry, what?????????

YOOOOOO istus’s gift to taako, the item he could retrieve when he needed it most, has RETURNED TO THE STORY AND IM SO EXCITED BY THAT!!!

wait wait. is this RANDO the “man wreathed in flame”? THIS LITERAL RANDO??? THIS LITERAL RANDOM CHARACTER GRIFFIN HAS JUST INTRODUCED TO US NOW????

griffin has really genuinely lost track of the correct timeline of the events of this story and im like shit my dude, you and me both. ive only got most of it down

this john motherfucker is like almost tugging at my heartstrings but also im the embodiment of “cool motive still murder” bc im pretty sure this dude’s to blame

clint doesn’t remember jack shit about merle’s kids right now and in context, its like merle doesn’t even know how old his kids are. that’s BAD

griffin: “although this bear is in like Furious Nonsensical Monster Mode, you see, just faintly, you see it retract its claws as if to say ‘alright motherfucker, lets wrestle’”

magnus: “they’re not strong enough, I have to be” damn, talk about a Magnus Burnsides Thesis Statement

the fact that magnus is refusing to kill this monster mode Power Bear even though it’s being controlled by an eldritch nightmare is like. proof that magnus has a goddamn heart of gold. what a hero

magnus finds it in him to ask for help and avi comes crashing through the walls like “sup dude, need some help from Captain Handsome Hero?”

“no dogs on the moon!” AAHHHHHH IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT

taako: “i don’t know what tacos are. I’ve gotten hints, if you wanna call them taco prophecies. that’s a crazy thing to say out loud, but I just said it, so here we are, I guess, I’m talking at you through a frying pan, try to keep up Joaquin”

taako: “I’ll take one taco, extra destiny”

taako: “yeah, like I’m going to let myself be seen being taught how to cook anything, nice try”

taako: “so, a toast” joaquin: “no, its a taco….just a little food joke” taako: “very little”

istus: “huh, didn’t see that one coming” griffin: “across two universes, two food trucks explode” damn griffin

joaquin: “EVERYTHING’S GOING TO BE OKAY! I’VE GOT MAGIC POWERS!” DAMN! THAT’S A GOOD FUNNY PARALLEL

griffin: “kneeling at the center of town, is kravitz” OH GOOD! NOW WE’RE COOKING! NOW WE’VE GOT THE GOOD SHIT GOING!

i just gotta mention here that I love eldritch nightmares and cthulu-esque monsters, so this story’s eldritch nightmare that consumes everything in its path contrasted with a slowly-more-corrupted human avatar is MY JAM

merle: “i cast zone of truth!” travis: “TO WHAT END??”

griffin: “it is the most powerful holy spell you have ever cast” THAT’S A GOOD FINALE CALLBACK!!!!

HURLEY! AND SLOANE!!! THEY’RE BACK AND THEY’RE DRYADS!!!!!! THAT’S SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!! GRIFFIN!!! YOU BROUGHT THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!

griffin: “she turns back to lucas’s lab and she says ‘hero time’” NOELLE!!!!! NOELLE THAT WAS SO GOOD!!!

lup: “what’s up ghost rider?” kravitz: “you know we’re going to have to talk about the fact that your sister’s a lich, right?” taako: “yeah…i assumed���

lup: “taako just summoned all the energy in our reality to come help us fight” magnus: “mmhmm. I fought a bear…when I say it like that, it doesn’t sound as good, does it?”

davenport: “lup did you find the starblaster?” lup: “oh i sorta… forgot we were supposed to be doing that”

taako: “we have basically been trolling it for 100 years..[..]..and i don’t know about you, but TAAKO’S GOOD OUT HERE”

lup: “lucretia, dear, I’ve already forgotten about the whole thing. OH! OH! bad choice of words!” lup you adorable asshole

lup: “please don’t die” taako: “i’d say the same but that ship done sailed, hasn’t it?”

MAGNUS GAVE ANGUS HIS KNIFE!!!!! THAT SHIT IS SOO GOOD!!!!!!!

taako: “i walk over to angus and say ‘hey cool knife, you know he’s got a sword that’s on fire, right? he did just give you a KNIFE’”

lup: “hear that, babe? we’re legends”

“there’s magic in a bard’s song” OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!!

“YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT! AND YOU’RE GOING TO WIN!”

Petals to the Metal Part 10: TAZ Pre-Finale Relisten Recap

It’s the sad one folks!!!!!

I want to go on record saying that I fucking love everything about the end of the battlewagon race.

Griffin being absolutely floored by Justin remembering the wand of switcheroo.

Taako throwing the emergency brake, switching with Sloane, and then winning the race like it’s his fucking job.

The boys still trying to beat each other across the finish line and just being ridiculously petty.  Perfection.

Hurley being so broken up about Sloane that she removes her mask and reveals her identity to the shocked masses of Goldcliff is some straight up dramatic action movie shit.

As is them gunning it off a cliff straight into a tornado.  Nice.

Merle’s A Decent Cleric Tally: +1, he casts prayer of healing on the party and bails the hell out of Hurley and Magnus.

Taako does 66 points of damage against Sloane’s plant monster, doubling the previous record for hardest hit of the campaign (which was also held by him).

“That was my last spell!!!”

Later (with an assist from Lup), he ups this number to 160.  Nice.

I forgot about Magnus pulling the vines apart and rushing inside Sloane’s plant prison to punch her in the face.  That was rad.

You know what made me first realize how sad this episode was going to make me?  Hurley giving Taako a big hug before knocking the boys off the pillar and then running into the silverpoint to save Sloane.  Damn it Griffin.

So when I first listened to Petals, I figured that Hurley saving Sloane from the relic was just a deus ex machina situation that Griffin decided would go unexplained, which was fine by me.  But now, post-Stolen Century, I’m pretty sure that power is actually bonds. (aka the things powering both the Starblaster and the Hunger.) Same with the “strange magic” that powered Roswell in the Eleventh Hour.

I can’t believe Hurley’s little “You’re in troubleee” shattered my heart a second time.

The song playing over this scene is called ‘Discovery and Recovery’ (it might be the first song Griffin composed for the podcast as well?).  Sloane discovers that the relic wasn’t the most powerful thing in the world after all and Hurley ‘recovers’ Sloane.  Good name!  

The fact that Hurley is joking around with Sloane even while she’s dying (”HAHA YEAH”) is also super duper heartbreaking because she’s clearly just so relieved to have Sloane back.

Griffin.  You madman.  Relistening to this made me so sad.

Taako actually getting genuinely angry about not being able to save Hurley was kind of surprising the first time around, since I’m pretty sure it’s his first really serious moment in-show.

It kind of reminded me of his monologue to Barry in the beach episode of the Stolen Century, about people in love not having enough time.  Obviously Taako doesn’t remember that, but it’s really cool to see how that carried over.

Taako screwing up his thrall roll with advantage, Magnus punching him in the head, and Merle grabbing the sash to argue with it is my fucking favorite.  Long live teamwork??

I want “I’ll fuck any onion I want!” tattooed across my face.

So Barry appears for the first time in this episode and tells the boys about “the hunger in all of humanity”.  Lot of things to unpack here.

I’ve seen a lot of people call into question the fact that Barry is super creepy in this episode but then asks the boys to trust him in The Crystal Kingdom.

Here’s my theory:  Without his family to ground him, Barry is gradually losing control and becoming corrupted by the time this scene takes place (à la Lydia and Edward going completely fruit loops and creating Wonderland).  Which would explain why he’s still trying to warn them, but being super god damn creepy while doing it.

I spend long nights trying to figure out how long Griffin McElroy has had all of this shit planned out for.  Because the fact that Barry uses the phrase “the hunger in all of humanity” seems like it’s referring to the thrall at first glance, but with context it’s also a really fucking waterproof reference to the origins of the Hunger itself, which was created because of the non-eldritch, metaphorical hunger of the people in John’s original plane.  

Forgotten canon:  Merle has a fanny pack.  He puts the Gaia sash in it.

isak&even | severing ties

another regular day at nissen was to unfold as isak stood at the entrance of the school, exhaustion written clear on his face like bold, capital letters that said, ‘this guy probably shouldn’t have partied so hard the past two nights.’ but he did and now he had the largest cup of black coffee in his hand that he made a face at every single time he took a chug in hopes of waking up more. he spots his friends first, near the benches on the west-end of the courtyard, but before he could head over; he moved to the east side of the court to greet his girlfriend who’s currently giggling about whatever first-year girls giggle about. she breaks away from the group and shakes her head disapprovingly,

“i told you not to party so hard last night!” she exclaimed, taking in the sight of his bags and the coffee that hadn’t kicked in yet.

“i know, i know,” isak said with a grin, “but it was a kick ass party, you know. you shoulda came,” he teased, smirking when she cracked a smile. “nei, i actually take my homework seriously, isak.”

isak mocks a face of hurt, “what? and i don’t?” he grins and leans down to steal a kiss.

“you know… there’s a new guy who joined third year. everyone’s talking about it. he’s really hot,” she said with a bright smile. isak rolled his eyes at that, smirking just a bit at her attempt to make him jealous. “if you get a date with him, let me know so i can congratulate you.” he grins when she shoves him, though kisses him once more before running off with her friends.

isak heads on over to his friends, rolling his eyes as they continued to make kissing noises even though the jig was up. “yeah, yeah, whatever.” the boys joke about the previous night, dishing on how magnus looked the worst out of all of them even though he drank the least. once the bell rang, isak headed to his locker to grab his necessary materials.

biology went through fast thanks to sana’s poking and probing of isak’s drinking habits, then the two arguing about which answer was right for their practice test. isak had study hall next, which he used to catch up on his biology homework so he wouldn’t have to do it tonight. —

isak sat amongst his friends, sighing ss the cafeteria increased in a thudding volume. jonas sat down and was immediately looking at isak with wide eyes, “dude!”

isak furrowed his brows, shooting him a questioning look.

“the new guy- oh my god isak, you’ll never believe who it is.”

isak shrugged, clearly confused on why his best friend was acting like he was about to tell the most important news in all history. “isak, it’s even. even is the new transfer from bakka.”

and it was then that isak’s entire world had stopped spinning and began to twirl the other way around. “you’re fucking joking,” isak spat, his eyes widened as he shot a desperate look around for the boy who he– maybe, definitely, really– had a very serious crush on back during summer camp. but isak hadn’t seen even since high school started and the boy went to bakka instead of nissen.

but now he was here. today. at nissen and boy was isak living— and dying at the very same time. it was like the caffeine from the morning’s coffee kicked in all at once and he was suddenly very wired. excitement and anxiety clawed it’s way to his chest and seized his heart which ached to see the boy he had long lost feelings for. his first boy crush, that wasn’t his best friend— because let’s face it,

isak’s crush on jonas was just because jonas was the only one there for him. it was an attention and comfort he’d grown to love and isak tossed those feelings into a romance pile instead of a ‘hey, i have a really amazing best friend’ pile.

“i totally ran into him on my way to chemistry and he remembered me! and he remembers you isak! in fact, you were the first person he asked about. he seemed really eager to see you,” isak had no idea if jonas was trying to be sly or a damn smartass, but whatever it was— jonas lifted isak’s spirits to an all time high and he was sure his best friend was aware of that effect.

isak was barely able to focus in gym, his mind on the thought of seeing even. it caused butterflies to erupt multiple times and it was actually kind of difficult to remember that he had a girlfriend. who had been texting him pretty much all day but isak was too busy daydreaming about seeing even. did he look good? did he smell nice? oh why did he care—

fuck it, isak cared. isak cared a whole lot.

once the school bell rang— indicating that all classes were over and students were dismissed, isak changed back to his burgundy tee, blue adidas bomber jacket that he wore all too often, black skinny jeans and a burgundy cap that held back his golden curls and quickly headed back to study hall because you know, that bih forgot about his textbook.

—

when eva saw even in the courtyard after school, she just about lost her cool. a total fangirl moment because goddamn– that boy was beautiful. she released a breath as she headed over and started a conversation with him, beyond happy when he recognized her from camp. “have you seen jonas yet? or isak?”

but before that question was to be answered, jonas had walked right up to them with a grin, “i can’t believe you’re here dude it’s been so long.” he smiled as the three briefly chatted about schools and how shitty high school was in general— excluding the parties of course.

“where’s isak?” eva started but jonas just shrugged, “he’s probably–” but it was then he noticed that even was not even listening, nor looking at them. he turned then and what he saw was nothing less than he expected; what he saw caused the brightest smirk there ever was to appear on his face, “speak of the devil,” jonas teased.

with one strap slung over isak’s shoulder, he headed outside, thankful for the breeze that ran through his exposed curls at the nape of his neck. he released a sigh when his phone went off for the hundredth time, he pulled it out with one hand to read texts from emma– all of them stating that she went home early with some friends. isak typed back a teasing response that his ways were ruining her goody-goody status. he pocketed his phone- and it was then he felt eyes on him. he furrowed his brows and glanced up—

and what he saw, was absolutely breathtaking. the brightest blue eyes that caused so much nostalgia and reignited feelings were staring him down; and the lips that had developed into pink plump beauties, had a smile on them that made isak’s whole body go numb. he had stopped in the middle of the courtyard, just admiring his former— and now current crush again, because god damn he looked amazing. stunning. beautiful. perfect. it was hard to breathe. isak released a deep breath, a wide smile on his own face as all the memories they had shared came back into his memory like a hurricane.

isak tilted his head slightly to the side as his eyes flickered from even’s eyes to his physique and back up again. he looked damn good. isak swore this was love at first sight all over again.

jonas heard eva whispering at his side, “what the hell is happening? why are they like… eye fucking each other?” jonas snorted at that observation, though turned when he heard magnus’ voice, “why is the new kid looking at isak like he’s in love and why is isak looking at the new kid like he’s really in love and about to drool at any second,”

“probably because that’s what’s happenin right now,” mahdi commented, earning a wide grin from jonas.

jonas pulled out his phone then and called isak’s number, watching as the boy literally grabbed his phone and answered it without once looking away from even. “hey dude, i know this is like a crazy reunion but wouldn’t it be cool for you to like come over here and say hallah or you guys can keep eye fucking in the middle of campus whatever works,” he shot a grin to eva as he coined her term.

“yeah, right- okay, yeah sounds like a plan,” isak stuttered, a blush on his cheeks as he hung up the phone and headed down the steps and across the courtyard, his eyes finally breaking contact from even’s; though that was short lived because as he approached, he was looking at that boy all over again.

#russbusfuck #isak&even | severing ties #reunion au #REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOOOOD #im crying tho #this is rlly long just description sorry #but lmao #isak to emma: if u get a date with the new guy #lemme know n ill congratulate you #isak now: HA im going on the date with the new guy #bye emma #bye straight sexuality #hello boys #hello even bech næsheim

[khaleesiofalicante]

three words: WHAT THE FUCK

also, Dont blame me by Taylor swift for Max and Rafael respectively

MAX AND MINA

Besides, this is not the sort of thing he could talk to Rafael about. Rafael was a goody-two-shoes. He followed the rules and respected the law.

I AM IN THE CAR AND I BURST OUT LAUGHING I THINK MY MOM THINKS IVE GONE CRAZY

Bestie Rafael doesn't follow the law

This sounds too good to be true...

But also

What if-

Look I love elyaas but Mina's right

He's a demon

A RED FLAG RIGHT THERE

That is totally something David would say NOW I MISS HIM

Oh

Oh right

Lancelot

I forgot about that

ALRIGHT BITCHES PACK YOUR BAGS WE'RE GOING TO EDOM

It's time for a family visit

Smh quite rude of Magnus and Alec to not introduce their kids to their grandfather

Asmodeus was bad. Very, very, bad.

Those people (ykw): bUt hE'S fAmILy

Huh

What happened to James?

OH BELIAL

Bestie don't die

He remembered his lessons. Bapak had trained him since Max had been a toddler. They had tempted him with so many things. Max had resisted them all.

Bapak had been so proud of him.

Because Max had resisted power and riches and beauty and strength and all of it.

But they hadn’t told him. They hadn’t told him the hardest temptation was love.

How was he supposed to resist this?

Listen

You wanna go to hell for love? DO IT! FOLLOW IN ALEC'S FOOTSTE

THE MAGIC KISS PARALLEL

David

David, I am sorry.

David, will you ever forgive me?

I’m not Lancelot. I’m just Max.

I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.

BESTIE DON'T MAKE ME CRY

HE HAD A EARRING PHASE

Will...

Oh god it smells like fish here who tf-

Prob my neighbor

I hate fish

Oh right back to being sad

Ok Magnus why are you sad

RAFAEL

You can’t be there for people only when it’s convenient for you.”

Uncle Jace, of course, had been taking pictures and sending them to people like it was no big deal.

JACE WHAT

Oh god he doesn't know yet...

Well Rafael you see...

“Rafe,” Max said in horror. “What’s wrong? Are you sick? Is dad sick?”

“No, hermanito,” Rafael smiled, pushing away the unshed tears. “We are both okay. I’m just worried.”

“Well, don’t be worried about something that hasn’t happened yet,” Max pointed out. “It’s stupid.”

OH MY GOD NO

“I'm the fucked up irresponsible son, okay? There is no room for two of us."

Ms to my brofher

AWW HE TURNS PURPLE WHEN HE'S SUNBURNT

A PURPLE TELETUBBY BYE-

“Why are you being so…angsty?!?”

Us at you

Anjali was a cuddler.

OH MY GOD SHE'S A CUDDLER

He's so in love it's adorable

Her lips had the power to make him break the law – and burn the world down if necessary.

I FUCKING SCREAMED

MY MOM CAME TO GIVE ME LUNCH I SWEAR SHE THINKS IVE LOST IT

It made him realize that sometimes – very rarely – bad things led to good things.

He wished it would be the same right now.

Same my boy same

He had no idea what was going on

“I will tie you up in the dungeon of the labyrinth if I have to,” Ragnor said – a little too seriously.

Do it

NO ONE IS GOING TO EDOM

Malcolm...

FUCK STOP MAKING ME SAD

While mundane parents talk to their children about sex or drugs, Magnus had to talk to his children about greater demons and necromancy.

True dat

Only my parents didn't talk to me about sex

I learned that shit

Although I'd say we're pretty good at talking about it now

Tessa hummed at that. “I don’t know about that. The last time my children were acting secretive, one of them was fighting a greater demon and the other was bringing her boyfriend back to life. And don’t even get me started on Kit!”

AHHH JAMES AND LUCIE

AWW ALEC'S TRYING TO COOK

“Listen here, bud,” Alec lifted a finger. “You can either stay here and help me or get out of the kitchen and take your negativity with you.”

Max smiled. “I’ll take option two, please. My negativity and I will see you at dinner.”

MAX JAHDIDUWOSJDH

Wait

Does Alec know he's sick?

He messed up the recipe thrice, burned his hand twice, and almost threw the pan out the window once before giving up.

HEY WHY YOU TRYNA THROW ME OUT

I have to do it while I can, Alec wanted to say. I’m catching up for all the ones I am going to miss.

I just wanted to eat in peace

Why don't you go back to messing up the recipe?

MAGNUS NOOO

Alec STOP

NO

ABSOLUTELY NOT

Max ate five more – because he had the appetite of a whale.

MAX AKDUSODHJDOS

Same

Oh...Max realized it's Anjali

Alec knew Magnus wasn’t happy about him going to Idris.

Literally no one is BUT DO YOU CARE?? NO NO NO GO AHEAD MAKE ME CRY

Shit

YES JACE

Alec I'm very sorry but you deserved rhat

Lmaoo Alec talking about telling Rafael but he's planning on being a mundane

The way he's talking shut up shut up

“Are you saying that a world run by Zara could be better than a world run by you?” Jace asked, looking pissed. “Your mundane condition must have affected your head - because that’s just stupid.

So true

Idris is probably in ruins

I just tossed all my clothes of the blanket because I needed it let's see how long it takes for my mom to sense it

Jace...

FUCKING HELL IM CRYING

If you want me to fight, I will fight Raziel.”

ME TOO

RAFAEL NO

NO

RAFAEL DON'T BE A SHIT

Alec talking about how Rafael is gonna be the consul after he's dead and take care of stuff and Rafael just-

NO

Magnus is having an amazing time I see. One of his sons wants to go to Edom to get his boyfriend back, the other wants to leave the shadow world and his husband is dying

DANI NO
