This update destroyed me and now my brains flooding with all the angst.
Because now I can imagine about what if in the end where they have successfully saved Malleus and they're all embracing, they don't feel a pair of hands sliding away nor notice someone walking away from all the crowds and turn to look back to see Sebek shedding tears of joy, Lilia cuddling the prince like he's always wanted, and Malleus with the brightest smile on his face. To him it was the picture of the perfect family, it was the best someone like him could ask for even if he was not in said picture.
It was a cruel thing love is, even when it's believed that one is no longer needed in said picture, that one's heart will still burn with love for them, to ensure that they stay like that. Especially after seeing all that his father sacrificed to hatch the prince, he'd wanted to preserve that love. Malleus should have been the real son, especially after all that has happened and all that was given, and Silver is willing to indulge that because it was right and deserved.
Then why does it still hurt? It doesn't hurt in a painful way, but he could not ignore the void growing in his heart, yearning for what he once believed was real, the emptiness ate away at him until all that was left was his love for these fae.
He should probably go before someone realises he's left. There's no need for a forgotten relic like him around anymore, everyone was happy and that was all he could ask for, he's had his happy life as short as it was, now it was their turn. He'll consider it his final act of love for these people for he doubts that they'll meet again.
Thank you, father and Malleus for all that you have done.
I love you.
No one notices when the boy leaves the room. Not until someone hears the faint whispers of '...may the night bless you'
He lifts his head from its spot in between Malleus's horns and then he notices the lacked of blessed silver hair with them.
'Silver?'
He recalled the empty look in his son's eyes
'Silver!'

i don't like doing this but:
our power will be shut off tomorrow if we don't make some kind of payment.
we owe $2k in missed payments. we think they'll take a portion of it in a payment adjustment.
my mom lost her car and her job.
my dad and i are employed but we don't make enough to pay the mortgage, buy our food, and pay that electric bill. we both have minimum wage jobs (we fell on some hard times).
on top of that, my mom is a very reckless addict. she took her half and my dad's have off the stimulus check and gambled it, so we don't have anything we can do.
I've spent months struggling to keep my family (4 people and animals) afloat and it's stressed me out. my job's been cutting hours too. i can't afford to move out so this is my only way to live.
we need this electricity to make food, charge my phone (which i use at work and to get transportation to work), etc.
anything helps.

Fea!Leibling was just delicious. You gotta love feral Girlfriends and women who can and will kill you. You mentioned that you have thoughts on Seer!König can you share them please parental figure?
I would LOVE to share them anon thank you!
So in the Reverse Fae!AU I think all the boys are military, we're looking at a canon adjacent au similar to the demon au, but the fae darlings would be trying to pull their man outta the military(and into their loving arms) instead of really wanting to help them fight. I just know this is gonna get away from me so I'm popping a read more on here.
In this context I see Seers as absolutely invaluable military assets. As I've said previously in the world of this au most people don't know about monsters, they have different habits that are indicative of them but that doesn't mean people believe it. Think of saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, I don't really believe the devil enters people's bodies when they sneeze but I say it anyone to be polite. The military though, they absolutely know about monsters. The fae and all their supernatural cousins would be nicely positioned as both threats and assets, which means having someone in the room that can easily identify them is HUGE.
So Seer!König is the military's favorite special boy. It's important for seers to be the biggest threat in a room because you never know if a creature is going to be friendly to them or not. (Which is also why Fae!König is so protective of Liebling, she's not the biggest threat so he has to be) König would've grown up ostracized for his sight, but in the military he's heavily rewarded for it. It's his most powerful weapon in combat, and he would be neatly positioned in knowing the best ways to kill any monster he came across. A military seer is basically a monster hunter, and truly I cannot think of anything more terrifying for an unfriendly fae than coming face to face with König who stares right through them and tells his men "Iron on this one, then salt the wounds." I would piss myself.
I imagine König is very used to being given a wide berth by the various creatures of the world, all of them scared of what he can see and what he might know, so it's rather novel for him to wake up and have thorns stuck in his skin. Looking in the bathroom mirror as he cleans the little puncture wounds with a cotton ball and prodding at the scratches down his chest with careful fingers. The absolute awe that lodges behind his ribs, that something A. got into his house unnoticed(he likely has some military grade wards up, aside from normal security), and B. clawed him up without hurting him enough to wake him up. Whatever was in bed with him definitely wasn't trying to kill him(great) but also what the hell???
This is where also I think König is a closet masochist. I cannot explain this, he's so dominant in my head but the two aren't mutually exclusive. It's one of those things where, I think König likes pain so much, that he sort of assumes everyone else does too? He gets written off as a sadist by his submissives, but no he just is a masochist with military socialization. So waking up with new obviously affectionate wounds? Oh boy, he is riding that high all day. His skin is throbbing from his mystery creature's nails, he's got bandages on his arms. He wakes up with a good hard bite on his collar, the bruise laced with red and purple, and he is THRILLED. He wants more, he wants harder, he wants to know who the fuck is biting him so he can bite them back.
The thorns are a dead giveaway that whatever it is has to be floral, which points to fae in these parts. He has a nice garden out back, a little overgrown since he's likely a recent move to the city and to the UK specifically, so he figures he'll poke around and see what's back there. This has been going on for weeks and his fae is just getting more needy, he's waking up with his palms tingling, the scratches are getting deeper, the bruises darker. Thorns are waiting on his pillow and between his sheets, he's starting to get a little frustrated that he hasn't seen this mystery fae yet. He half hopes that if he spends time out in the garden maybe they'll come out and say hello, but even when he clears away the dead plants he can't find the thorns.
König enjoys working in the garden though, he likes seeing everything get cleaned up, likes a tidy space. It isn't until he gets through most of the garden that he actually notices the thorns that have overtaken the back wall. Thick and overgrown, out of season but with little white-ish flowers still dotting the dark green leaves, and he can see the soft inquisitive eyes that stare at him from between the gnarled thorns. He's half in love already, but actually seeing his faerie watching him is the nail in the coffin. Then when she Bites him? Draws blood, makes him worry for a second she might tear his throat out? GOD he's going to marry this fae.
He tests the thorns with his finger, recognizes their bite, and that's it. When he reaches in and feels Liebling take his hand, that's all he needs. He was going to pull her out anyway, but it's nice of her to come willingly.
(I wish I could do another read more here where I talk about how I don't think flora fae like fae!Liebling, the ones that live in their little plants and don't interact with people, wear clothes. They don't see people, and people generally don't see them so they don't see the need for them. Maybe some strategic petals or long hair but fabric just gets caught on the thorns. So Seer!König pulls this fully naked and gorgeous specimen from the thorns, and then she bites him real fuckin' hard and he can't not fuck her. I mean she's hitting all the right buttons.)
Anyway, Seer!König military asset and closet masochist shows up on base with a fae!Liebling hanging onto his back and can't really explain it to the higher ups but also who's going to tell him no? He's the colonel and they need him more than he needs them. Except again fae!Liebling has no interest in fighting, just in König. So I imagine he doesn't get a choice in renewing his contract, she forces him to retire(which is fine he was getting no work done with her around)

Schrodinger's Human: The Star Child
Tumblr media
Halfa's aren't natural by any stretch of the imagination and they certainly were never supposed to come into existence. Yes, you could come come back as a zombie or a revenant, maybe even return as good as new or the complete opposite, but never truly return so... cleanly split.
Despite being the balance of both the living and the dead, Danny Phantom was never truly supposed to come to pass and was a happy accident, a one in an extremely rare umpteenth chance, rather than Danny Fenton dying in the unfortunate lab accident like in all the other timelines and multiverse.
Despite the truly miraculous odds of his survival, the young Halfling realized something was wrong somehow, when he awoke in the hospital. At first he thought it was because of the lab accident causing the scarring on his body and face that made people look away, but that wasn't it. It has been months and yet nobody looks his way.
Not once since the accident has his parents, sister, or his friends (or anyone, really) have looked him in the eyes. He just suspected that they must've felt guilty for getting him hurt...but then even his rouges seem to have always averted their gaze when they fight, so what gives!? Was the damage that severe? He likes to think he healed up pretty nicely with just a few prominent scars.
As Phantom, they weren't even visible! Then one day, he snapped after a particularly rough fight and demanded an answer, pinning the ghost and demanding, screaming, that they look him in his watery eyes.
"We can't! We physically can't look at you without adverting our gaze. Even the humans you call friends and family are unable to so much as look at you. We don't know why!"
It made Danny stop and think. Did...did he get a meta gene awoken from the lab accident? For his sanity, he deduces that it was some form of attention repellant power, that had to be it...right? After confronting his friends and family, they told them the same thing. At least the explanation was there. It made the pain bearable when he was around them.
Then the fight with Pariah Dark happened and everything went down hill from there (he just didn't know it yet).
It made Danny glad that the Ghost King couldn't see him properly (he stuck to the side with the eye patch) and continued his assault on the blind spots with gusto. It took a while but he eventually felled Dark and took the title of King of the Infinite Realms, much to his shock.
With the Ring of Rage and Crown in his possession, he returned to Amity Park exhausted, muttering to himself a desire before he let sleep take over.

(Maybe now as King, I can order ghosts to go back to the Realms...at least until I can finish all my schooling first, including colleague...Yeah right...I wish that it...was that...easy.)
And like a true wish upon a star, it overidded all logic in the universe to the Boy King's whimsy. The ghosts left over night and all natural portals sealed themselves shut with no means to open themselves back up anytime soon.
And across the planet it vanished as well, stray pools of fermented ectoplasm, medicines that used it and even machinery powered by the stuff went missing, with the exception of the Fenton Ghost Zone Portal, that sealed it self with no means for anything to enter or exit.
The young Boy King's actions were far from subtle.
Many are now without their precious magic, Gods have llst their powers, the Speed Force had been stripped away, and Lanterns across all the emotional spectrum found themselves on their homeworlds with rings that failed to respond, their lights snuffed out. Two birds are now sound asleep, unable to open their eyes.
But before Nabu had been pulled out of his Helmet, he told his wearer one cruical message.
"The Source has been sealed away by a being powerful enough to possess all Sapient life in Multiverse, The Anti Life Equation has been unleashed."

Here goes little essay about everything going on with Logan bc i have a lot of thoughts that I want to organise a bit .
I'm not sure where i want to start bc there so much to this whole situation with Logan and Williams but I'll firstly discuss today's fp1.
I hate what media portraying Williams got, yes they fucked up and critique is fair but there much more than just critique online. I tend to believe that the gave logan repaired chassis not bc they disrespect him but bc his car is tuned to alex and tune new one to him is faster than redoing both of them. It may give him some disadvantages that it's too bad. The part that I'm really sad about is that Williams didn't clarify any of this and we never gonna know for sure. It all doesn't exclude possibility of this just being decision but somehow i find it unlikely.
Another part that i have a lot of emotions about is today's crash, i hate it and people's responses so bad bc firstly we never gonna know is it car or logan bc once again we can't be sure with how Williams talked about it, but even if it was logan i can hardly blame him bc amount of pressure on him js insane.
He wasn't ready for f1 when he was brought into it, everyone already said that. Plus he constantly compared to oscar which isn't fair, you can look at their cars for example (bc in this sport they matter a lot, fact that somehow a lot of people forget) or where their teams are. I remember how in f3 oscar told that he was excited to fight with Logan and that shows for me that logan can do better it's just his circumstances that are unfortunate. He's season in f2 also was really good, he obviously couldn't get first place with domination of filippe but he still did his best.
Another thing about f2 is how much pressure he had there because Williams announced him as their f1 driver even before season finished and it put Logan on a spot bc he could actually become that driver only if he finishes in top three. And he did!!
But you can see how than, in his first f1 season and eveb now amount of pressure doesn't go down, he constantly needs to prove himself or he'll get kicked out of sport, same sport that his family sacrificed all for him to get in.
I absolutely don't understand his haters, especially those that compare him to alex at least because comparing them is stupid with this big of experience gap. Same discourse i see about lando and oscar which is also stupid because at the moment lando is objectively better at least because of his experience, and oscar doesn't need to be better than him, he needs to learn and get that experience himself for any comperasing to make sense.
Big problem with Logan is that he can't get that experience to grow as a driver, even alex said that it isn't stange that he crashes that much in his first season bc Williams car is hard to work with. It was Alex that said that, same person that car was made for so i think it's pretty good evidence. Also that was ghe reason why u was very excited to see Logan this year because he would finally have car that made for him as much as it was made for alex. And then the season started :)
In first two races he couldn't prove himself in any way bc of the reasons that wasn't in his control and what happened in Australia is just horrible for him as a driver. But i really hope that his patience will help him to hold his seat for the next year. As much as it sucks right now if him helping the team can improve his chances for the seat next year than it matters most, bc even of he has shit year he could have another one to prove himself ( which i think will absolutely happen at one point or another of his career if it continues)
In the end i want to add that i believe that James have good intentions bc even knowing how negative internet going to be he made that decision in Australia for the team. As logan fan i was very sad about it but i hope that with same good intentions for team he will keep logan that already shows how supportive he is to the team and with their growth it's probably exactly who they need at the moment

How Things Fall Apart
Zuko liked to believe that Mai had loved him once. At least, she had once loved a version of him. When he failed to live up to that image she'd built up in his head, all pretext of affection faded in short order.
It wasn't all Mai's fault, Zuko conceded. He had learned to ask her what exactly she wanted as gifts, but he still managed to disappoint. One year, he hadn't been able to afford to replace the diamond bracelet she'd lost during a vacation to Ember Island, so he'd gotten her what he thought was a lovely bracelet with a cheaper alternative stone (the Fire Nation was weathering an inflation crisis, and Zuko thought it would be gauche to spend so much money on the high quality gems imported from the Earth Kingdom instead of increasing the palace staff's salary). Another year, when the country was in a better place financially, Zuko splurged on a new set of throwing knives crafted by the finest blacksmiths under Master Piando's direction. Mai hadn't wanted more steel blades. She wanted the black blades crafted from the meteorite the Southern Tribe's prince had gifted Piando (Zuko's correction about Sokka not being a prince went unheard). It didn't matter that Piando had already made plans on how to use that stone, Zuko was the Fire Lord, and that should mean something. Zuko could do nothing right by Mai. She had still not forgiven him for getting rid of the stately palanquins.
After the birth of their first, and as it would turn out, only child, Mai became more distant. It was an improvement, Zuko told himself philosophically, over shouting matches and heavy objects being thrown at him (Mai never threw a blade at him, and she always made sure whatever she threw hit the wall and not Zuko. He was, after all, the Fire Lord). As long as Mai had access to the royal coffers, relative peace was kept. Zuko was certain that she had at least one lover, but he was content to ignore it, as long as Mai kept up a reasonable amount of discretion. Instability in the Fire Nation's royal family could have far reaching consequences, after all.
Iroh, ever the optimistic presence in Zuko's life, told his nephew about an art practiced in certain parts of the Fire Nation called kintsugi. Instead of throwing away broken things, the artists would carefully gather the broken parts and using a mixture of gold dust and lacquer, piece the broken things back together. The finished products often looked more beautiful than the original. Zuko thought he understood. Finally, fifteen years after he ascended the throne, eleven years after becoming a husband, and seven years after becoming a father, Zuko and the Fire Nation found a sense of equilibrium. The Fire Nation's economy had begun to right itself; a new curriculum designed to fight the decades of propaganda had been approved and implemented; feasible reparation agreements had been reached with the countries most damaged by the war and colonialism. Zuko and Mai only spoke when necessary for public appearances and state functions, and Izumi was growing into a precocious, inquisitive and imaginative child, to say nothing of her firebending prowess. If Zuko's daughter felt the absence of her mother, she hid it very well. Then one day, the peaceful existence Zuko had carved for himself and his child was shattered.
Mai's death was sudden and jarring. Zuko hadn't known anything was wrong until late that night, when a servant, disheveled and out of breath from sprinting to Zuko's chambers from hers, told him that a physician had been called for the Fire Lady, but the outlook was grim.
Officially, Mai had died after suffering from a hemorrhage caused by the miscarriage of her second child. While a few errant rumors floated around for a few months afterwards, the truth (that the child Mai was carrying wasn't Zuko's, and the miscarriage was intentional) was known to only a handful of Zuko's most trusted friends and family. Zuko grieved, though perhaps not as might be expected of a widower suddenly left alone to raise a child. He mourned what might have been if they hadn't married; mourned the family life he would never be able to give his daughter; mourned the lack of a partner who would stand at his side and help him move the country towards a more progressive, inclusive future. Most of all, he mourned the death of his hope of having anything better for himself.
Zuko didn't wallow, though. As little hope as he had left for his own prospects, he wanted Izumi to retain her own bright outlook for the future. He would have some help there with the expected arrival of Katara and her two children. It would be good, Zuko thought, for his daughter to have friends her age. As it would turn out, it was good for Zuko to have a friend around, too. When she stepped off the boat, clothed in a gauzy gold fabric gifted to her by the queen of Omashu, Zuko felt the weight in his heart lighten for the first time in years.
