Silent treatment
— R
Tumblr media
Warnings: strong language, violence, mentions of drugs, drug use kinda dark!rafe
You were pushed against lots of other sweaty bodies that jumped around as the loud music and flashing lights surrounded the entire room. You were at one of Rafes house parties again. You and Rafe had an arguement before the party started. And he had been ignoring you since, silent treatment.
Usually Rafe had his arm wrapped around you or had you sitting on his lap as he snorted cocaine. But not today. He knew the silent treatment triggered you, which is why he always used it whenever you made him mad.
He was seated at a table with a couple dollar bills around him. Aswell as lines of white substance. Doing coke as usual with a couple of his friends. You had memorized 2 boys since they were always with him, Kelce and Topper. You were out on the dance floor, dancing with a few new friends of yours that you had made at the party. Trying to forget about Rafe for a while.
You didnt like that Rafe did cocaine. But he got pissed everytime you brought it up, telling you to mind your own business. So you decided to let him do whatever he wants. Even tho it hurt you.
"Hey y/n! Grab us another drink will ya?!" Your new made friend Ariel asked loudly with a smile so you could hear it over the loud music and crowd screaming in your ears. You nodded and began pushing yourself through the sweaty bodies. Making your way to a less crowded area. As you got there you placed your hand in your back pocket to check your money before going to pay for some drinks.
But your eyebrows frowned as you didnt feel any money in your pocket at all. You kept searching moving from one pocket to another, desperate to find it. But then you gave up and groaned, someone had probably snatched the dollar bills out your pocket as you were dancing.
"Rafe?.." you asked as you approached the table he was at. He looked to where your voice came from but he ignored you and went back to counting up the money he had in his hands. You sigh as you slide your hand onto his shoulder. Tired of this silent treatment already. He shrugged your hands off his shoulder and you let your arm fall to your side
"What." Rafe said calmly. Still not wanting to talk to you.
You cleared your throat before speaking "Someone stole my money i had when i was dancing and-.." you started as you brought your hand up to the back of your neck as you watched Rafe continue to swipe through his money.
"Mhm" Rafe hummed. Clearly not listening to you trying to give him the hint of giving you some money since you didnt have any. You sighed.
"Rafe i need money" you said akwardly and Rafe pouted his lips. "Ah, thats sad. Go work or something yeah?" Rafe joked which earned a laugh from his friends which just embarassed you. You shook your head and rolled your eyes. Giving up on this. He was clearly not listening to you at all.
You sighed as you turned and began walking away from the table. Giving up on it all to go back and dissapoint your friends with no drinks, and no money.
Even tho they were probably just using you for money because they knew your boyfriend was rich.
But just as youre about to go back into the crowd an unfamiliar arm snakes around your waist. Pulling you closer and into their body. You turn your head, thinking its Rafe. But instead its a middle aged man, probably in his 30s.
You immediately begin feeling uncomfortable and you try to move away from him but that just results in him pulling you even closer, forcing you close. His mouth lowers down to your ear. His lips ghosting over your earlobe as he whispers.
"Boyfriend aint giving you money huh?.. ill give you some for a piece of change" the middle aged man whispered seductively in your ear as you got even more uncomfortable. It felt wierd if it wasnt Rafe who was saying it. Your eyebrows frowned and you shook your head.
"Get your fucking hands off her." You heard Rafes voice sneer before you could answer. You felt the man behind you being pulled away from you forcefully. His arms finally leaving your waist.
The man stumbled a bit and before he could regain his balance again, Rafes fist collided with the mans jaw forcefully. The man stumbled back but Rafe followed after, pushing the man into a table and staring emotionlessly into his eyes.
Your lips parted as you watched the situation unfold infront of you. But too scared to do anything about it. A few people close by walked away from the scene.
The man brought a hand to his jaw as he held himself up by the table with his other. Blood ran down the mans chin. But without saying another word the man stumbled to the side before making his way out of there like a scared dog.
As the man walked away Rafe turned back to you and walked closer to you, placing a hand on your hip as his other hand tucked in a few dollar bills in the waistline of your skirt. His fingers digged into your side.
You looked up at Rafe. "Thank you" you said softly. Which in response you only got a small "mhm" from him.
Rafes gaze moved down your body. Checking you out. You had a short skirt on. A little too short actually. Just a few centimeters shorter and your panties would be for everyone to see. The top you had on was tight. Making your curves more noticable. And Rafe didnt like that one bit.
"Go change. You look like a slut" Rafe said calmly. His face straight showing no emotion what-so-ever. Even tho his pupils were dilated. Showing that he was on coke.
You bit down on your lower lip. Your teeth biting at your skin. You looked back at where your friends were. Remembering you had promised them drinks. Rafe looked down at you, waiting for a nod and for you to obey and go change.
"But-"
"No. Go change or ill force you to it." His voice calm and serious as he looked at you. You shook your head. "Rafe i dont-" but before you could finish your sentence Rafes cold hands gripped onto your waist. Pulling you closer and lifting you up and over his shoulder. His arm wrapped over your ass. Making sure the skirt stayed down as he began walking towards the staircase that led to his room.
"Rafe youre embarassing me i look like a child-" you said as you hanged over his shoulder. Your hands holding onto the back of his shirt.
"Act like a child, get treated like one." Rafe said calmly as he continued his way to his room to get you changed into something more appropriate then what you were wearing.
"But i think i deserve something for saving you, yeah?"

Ketheric third wheeling Gortash and Durge is my life essence. durgetash just aint complete without Ketheric in the corner, suffering, and growing more and more homophobic by the second.
also like i imagine my durge is taller than gort, but he's just leaning down massively here so he and gort can look dramatic as they smooch lol. this is what happens when the evil meetings™ get intense, Durge gets too excited and boom. evil snogging™. right in front of Ketheric's salad
anyway, someone pay for Ketheric's therapy bills, because i'm sure not.

Is it wrong that I want to manifest not paying bills and taxes while owning things like a car, home, phone etc? not just because living in this type economy today but just in general because i’m not AT ALL educated on financial stuff😟
HE-HE-HELL NAW its NOT wrong! whatever you desire, you can manifest and there is no such thing as “right” or “wrong”.
and ive manifested not paying taxes and phones bills bc i def aint paying that 💀 theres nothing wrong about it at all. if anything its good bc we are giving ourselves what we want! 😏🤤
if you didnt understand the “he-he-hell naw” - its just a meme😔

A Shot Worth Taking - Jeremy (WMCJ) x f!reader
Part 1 - Meet Cute
note: this started as a concept (that’s why the writing is very unprofessional lol) but the idea has sparked an idea for a series
warnings: none
series masterlist!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
no because imagine you and your girl friends are there because your friend vanessa is supporting her man while he plays a different game, and you're just sitting there on the bench slightly bored and scrolling through your phone.
but then jeremy sees you and his breath gets caught in his throat--your beauty just stopping him in his tracks completely. and he glances down at his outfit--specifically at his wacky sandals and its the first time he feels a bit self-conscious so he KNEW he had to step up his ball game if he wanted to impress you even an ounce.
kamal notices jeremy's internal conflict and he follows his line of sight and sees you sitting there which causes him to smirk. "finally considering your god awful outfit choices?" he teases the curly haired man. Jeremy scoffs and shrugs him off nonchalantly. "fuck off" he mutters. "we gotta win this pick up," jeremy mumbled.
kamal begins laughing before he smirked, his intrusive thought winning. "AYO!!!" he yelled out towards you, causing you and your home girls to look up and pay attention to the group. immediately Jeremy's eyes widened and he smacked kamal. "man what the fuck are you doing?!" he exclaimed.
"getting her to pay attention," kamal responded. "now pull up and work your magic," he mused, moving towards the middle of the half-court to begin the game.
jeremy groaned and sluggishly followed, hoping you didn't catch on. but the thing is--you did catch on. after kamal had shouted for your guys' attention, you were intrigued, a playful smile on your lips.
"oh my god," Vanessa exclaimed. "what the hell is the white boy wearing?!" she laughed. you cringe playfully but you can't help your giggle.
"its not...that bad" you laughed. "I wonder if he's any good."
your other friend destiny scoffed. "looks like he was dragged from an organic smoothie shop to play in the pick up...aint no way this white man can jump."
as the game starts, you lean forward, resting your elbows against your knees as you and your girls watch intently. jeremy nervously glances you once more before he laser focuses on the game.
you observe as he runs around the court, effectively working with kamal before he approaches the 3-point line for the first time and easily sinking the ball into the basket. your friends gasp in shock and all you can do is grin. jeremy had a proud and cocky grin evident on his face, before he turned, made direct eye contact with you, and confidently winking your way, causing you to blush madly.
destiny instantly caught on and playfully shoved you in disbelief. “the white boy is into you!” she laughed. you go to deny and she scoffs. “don’t try to deny that shit! own it babes!”
“i cant lie…he’s really cute,” you breath out, feeling your face get hot at the confession. you all continue watching as jeremy puts on a record show. he was unbelievably good and extremely funny just from what you overheard him say to the other team.
“oh he’s definitely showing off to get your attention,” vanessa points out after a while with a smirk. “i say you shoot your shot after the game…maybe you need a white guy after the shit show you experienced with that lebanese guy that did you dirty.”
“ugh don’t remind me,” you shutter.
jeremy and kamal were huffing as they stood in front of the other two guys, effectively waiting for the pay out with smirks on their faces.
“pay up bitch,” jeremy mused cockily, his right hand held out while the other held onto the basketball.
the guy whined as he pulled out the bills and handed them over. “you’re gonna get beat up one day with that strategy,” he muttered sourly.
jeremy could only grin. “pleasure doing business.”
“nice game,” he hears someone say, causing him to swing around to face the person, coming face to face with you. he grinned even wider if possible.
“hey,” he breathed out.
“hi,” you smile. “you were really impressive…i cant lie—me and my girls didn’t think you’d play that good,” you admit shyly.
jeremy licked his lips and looked at you with amusement. how the fuck did you manage to be even prettier up close? “i played at gonzaga—”
“yeah i figured with your knees,” you replied, causing him to smirk. “so you paying attention huh?”
you scoff playfully. “how can i not when you’re so obviously trying to impress me,” you flirt back confidently.
Jeremy grinned. “how can i not when such a pretty girl is in the stands watching me?” his comment makes you blush. “im jeremy by the way.”
“im y/n…”
“would you maybe wanna grab dinner sometime?”

TOM KAULITZ X READER: ONE NIGHT STAND OUTCOME
YKKKKK i was gna make this happy but i lowkey got bored cuz fluff gets boring sometimes...gender aint mentioned cuz im amazing
Tumblr media
You sighed as you flopped on the bed, letting out a breathy sigh with a small giggle following it. Soo after, Tom had joined you, laying next to you in the bed. You really couldn't forget a night like this.
The Tom Kaulitz slept with you! Oh, how lucky you were!
You turned so you could see his face, a grin spread across his cheeks. He was so damn handsome, you could feel your heart melt. You loved him, even if this was the only time you've ever touched him. Sure- you held his hand at a concert once but that was nothing....he didn't know you existed then, he had held so many other hands that day.
Okay, and maybe you only liked him for his looks in the beginning. Yet being with him this night, seeing how he truly was...it made your stomach do flips. He was so sweet..maybe a bit rough yes, but he was extremely kind. Behind closed doors he wasn't as cocky and perverted, he was a normal guy. A normal guy obsessed with sex? Maybe...
But you loved him, more than you have ever loved anyone. Even if he didn't know you existed until now, you loved him so fucking much...
"I love you, Tom."
You muttered, glancing over at the dreadhead at your side. He froze, looking back at you. His eyes had slightly widened and his mouth was slightly agape. The hand on your shoulder that had been soothingly rubbing you stopped immediately, like he had been frozen in time.
".. Oh." he responded, blinking a few times. His cheeks had flushed a light pink color, and his eyes were huge. He didn't say anything else after that, just turned his head away from you and stared into space.
"What does 'oh' mean?" You ask, trying to sound like you were amused, but it instead came out slightly shakily and quiet. You lean forward a bit to try to look at his face, yet to no avail. He continues to be quiet, not turning his head to you. It was like he was embarrassed to meet your eyes.
Other than the occasional chrip outside from birds and the common whistle of the trees blowing in the wind, the room was dead silent. The only sound that could be heard from Tom was his breathing, which was short and almost sounded ragged.
You thought the subject would be dropped, so you turned to your side. It only took a few seconds before Tom began to speak again.
"I think...you should leave. I'll pay for your cab."
Your heart stopped as you immediately turned to him, your head whipping so fast you almost got whiplash. Why did you have to leave now? What had you done? Couldn't it wait until morning?
"What..?" you rasped, face scrunched slightly in confusion as your eyebrows furrowed. He rubbed a hand over his face, acting like he was annoyed and tired. "I think you should leave now. Really, I think it's for the best."
You couldn't help but feel offended...tonight had been perfect! Okay, yes you were some random person sleeping with him, but still! He was acting fine a few minutes ago, what changed? You sighed deeply and stood up abruptly, stalking off to get your clothes from off the dresser where you had previously left them.
He watched in silence as you finished putting your shirt on, tossing your bag over your shoulder. He felt awkward as he watched you from his bed, sitting on the edge as he watched you put your shoes on and get ready to leave.
"Here.." he muttered, going to his wallet in his bag and taking out two 20 dollar bills. You huffed in annoyance, but took the money anyways. "Thanks." you grumble, packing the money in the side of your bag as you opened the door of his room.
If only you knew how much it hurt him watching you walk out the hotel room. He had instantly regretted letting you leave, he wanted to rush out the room and follow you, begging for you guys to talk. As he watched you get into the cab from his window, he sunk to his knees and sat on the ground.
He had done this before, with many people. So why did he feel this way?
The words "I love you, Tom." echoed in his head again and again. He didn't know why he was so afraid to tell you how he truly felt, how he wanted you to stay with him forever.
If only you knew just how much he loved you.

i love objectified! My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead, murdered by my brother-in-law Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a meth empire for over a year now and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, Hank came to me with a rather, shocking proposition. He asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using his connections in the drug world. Connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded, I... I always thought that Hank was a very moral man and I was... thrown, confused, but I was also particularly vulnerable at the time, something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me on a ride along, and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin so I agreed. Every day, I think back at that moment with regret. I quickly realized that I was in way over my head, and Hank had a partner, a man named Gustavo Fring, a businessman. Hank essentially sold me into servitude to this man, and when I tried to quit, Fring threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Hank and Fring had a falling out. From what I can gather, Hank was always pushing for a greater share of the business, to which Fring flatly refused to give him, and things escalated. Fring was able to arrange, uh I guess I guess you call it a "hit" on my brother-in-law, and failed, but Hank was seriously injured, and I wound up paying his medical bills which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Hank was bent on revenge, working with a man named Hector Salamanca, he plotted to kill Fring, and did so. In fact, the bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Hank had risen in the ranks to become the head of the Albuquerque DEA, and about that time, to keep me in line, he took my children from me. For 3 months he kept them. My wife, who up until that point, had no idea of my criminal activities, was horrified to learn what I had done, why Hank had taken our children. We were scared. I was in Hell, I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, to end this nightmare, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Hank will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. I... All I could think to do was to make this video in hope that the world will finally see this man, for what he really is.
i aint reading all of that-📻

Cashier turned babysitter toji drabble had me going crazy in my head and i aint even a writer but i wanna write a story for this but holy shit i cannot do that so i made like lil bullet points to share with u, it would be like such a sweet slow fluffy burn
• Toji decides that having a babysitter would be pretty convenient, especially one that can see the chaos that can be found in his life and accept it (his dogs completely ruining the shop)
• Reader wants to start right away cause money. Bills aint gonna pay themselves
• Reader doesnt have alot of experience with kids but tries she best with megumi, and loves to see the dogs
• Would eventually realize something kinda funky going on like how these damn dogs popping out from mid air and shit but she doesnt wanna talk about it cause what if it compromises the money
• Relationship grows with toji, megumi and the dogs
• After a long while one time after megumi was put to bed, toji came back late and kinda wounded and bloody and hes like yea im good but readers like hmmmm no u aint that aimt normallll, she aint like experienced with treating injuries but tries her best to help him
• Maybe he'd like tell her more about their life and sorcery or his line of work, maybe only small details but enough for reader to get a picture
• I'd like to think that the story still goes mostly with the plot but with toji being way more involved with megumi like an actual dad
• He'd still take the job to kill riko but reader would get a bad feeling in their gut about him leaving and would try to make him stay or take a different offer
• He would still refuse and the story would carry on as usual with him fighting geto + gojo and killing riko
• But i dunno man maybe reader got toji on fucking Life360 or something and tracks his ass down before gojo and toji rematch start going down. Begging gojo to spare the guy cause hey he was just doing a job u should be going after the one who hired him.
• Somehow someway it fucking works yippie
• Megumi probably still goes to jujutsu high and gets mentored by gojo beforehand cause like i dunno interested in the son of the guy who managed to kinda beat him. I wanna think their dynamic stays the same cause its cute and wholesome seeing sorta-dad gojo
• Toji and reader get to have lovely romance and eventually reader moves in and megumis once babysitter becomes his step mom and they live happily together
If you ever made a part 2 or continuation of that lil drabble i would comburst from happiness. I adore ur writing and how you characterize the characters and protray them.
firstly, you can always write!! even if you don’t think you’re good, if you wanna write you should :p it’s a skill that you build and no one is perfect when they start 🩵
secondly, I LOVE THIS!! i will admit though that i’m not a toji fan so a part 2 is unlikely but i love this idea 🥹 reader sticking around despite the awfully strange things happening because they need the money, and megumi has taken quite the liking to them as well so they’d feel bad just up and leaving. it’s clear that the kid doesn’t have him mom around, and he might be compensating for that by latching onto you, but you don’t really mind it, and toji hasn’t voiced anything against it so you just go with the flow.
megumi is a nice enough kid, too, even though he sometimes does the weirdest things with his hands — you guess it’s some type of signal, because it time he does it, his dogs seemingly spring up from out of nowhere and go rushing over to him.
once megumi starts developing his technique more and things start getting harder to write off, i imagine toji would very briefly mention all of the sorcerer and jujutsu stuff to you, just enough to assure you that you’re not losing your mind and are the only one seeing ugly, goblin-like creatures lingering around.
he doesn’t tell you about his job, but you’re a snoop and he doesn’t exactly do a great job at hiding all his sensitive information in the house. you don’t approve of it, obviously, but as the saying goes, out of sight out of mind. he did it before you came, and he’ll likely still continue to do it even with you voicing your distaste for his employment.
i feel like reader might somehow get wind of the riko thing, and they choose then to cut ties with toji. they had held on so long because of megumi, but also because they had (begrudgingly) actually come to maybe possibly like toji, but just a tad bit, nothing serious!
anyways fast forward and gojo does him dirty LMAO but maybe he only loses his arm. and yeah, he’s strong enough to keep doing what he does with his limitation… but he thinks he’d rather keep you by his side instead, so he hangs up his weapons.
megumi goes the sorcerer route, scouted by none other than gojo, and at first gojo had done it to get under toji’s skin. rub a bit of salt in the wound, but then he comes to care for megumi as well, and it’s not uncommon for you break up potential fights between the two men when gojo dubs himself as ‘megumi’s better, cooler, hotter father’, seemingly uncaring that he’s labeled himself as toji’s husband

just a heads up, I already commissioned a couple fanart of reader so I'm not changing how she looks, I got hate for it in the past

'It's quiet.'
You think to yourself, sipping on the tea before pulling the cup from your lips as you stare down at your reflection.
[E/c] eyes have a distant look in them as you begin to remember how lively it used it be around you back in your home region.
Letting out a quiet sigh, you close your eyes, trying to remember those precious memories you cherish so much.
Your friends...those you found what mortals call 'family' but just every other thing in your life, they were gone with time.
Or they abandoned you at some point...just like they did.
Two people who you held close to your heart, turned their back on you once knowing who you were.
Sighing, you heard a drop of water and a familiar voice in the distance. A rather lonely atmosphere in this realm.
'—? Is that you?'
Your eyes opened immediately, finding yourself back in reality as a waitress walked over to you.
Once paying the bill, you quietly walk out of the restaurant you were just in and into the crowds of Liyue.
Glancing around, spotting something interesting on a stall, you stop to take a look.
"Oh! Miss, you have a very keen eye! This item is....." The merchant begins to explain the item as you listen carefully to him.
Unaware to you, just across the street, two men stood buying produce and other things before the one with blonde hair looks up.
His purple eyes see the familiar h/c locks and he stops completely.
The shorter man with white hair glanced at him, noticing his odd behavior before catching a familiar scent in the wind and he whips his head to where it was coming from.
Yet, before he could even mutter a word, the blonde took off just as you bid goodbye to the merchant.
Maybe you were aware but didn't act nor show it as you open the parasol you just brought, it blocks your face as you begin to walk the opposite way of where they were.
"Tomo! Wait!" You seem to stop for a brief moment at this and the blonde notices.
He tries to catch up to you but the crowd gets busier and he's getting pushed back as you continue walking without looking back.
By the time Tomo is able to get out of the crowd, there's no trace of you as Kazuha tries to comfort him.
"Tomo, who did you see?"
He doesn't respond as he looks down at the dead vision in his hand and it gives Kazuha his answer.
"Maybe...it's best if we stay on abroad the ship. You're beginning to think you're seeing her everywhere you go."
"I know what I saw," Tomo brushes off his words, "I saw her...I swear I saw [Y/n], Kazuha."
Kazuha could see the sincerity and sadness in his eyes.
"Tomo, I think it's time you come to terms with that.. she's gone."
The blonde goes quiet, gripping the vision, "don't bring this up again, Kazuha, please."
Kazuha sighs, frowning upon seeing his friend becoming gloomy once again. Every time the topic of [Y/n] comes up, he seems to shut down immediately.
"Right, I'm sorry. We should get going now."
It's been quite a while since Aether last heard of the balladeer and was quite surprised to hear it in Liyue of all places.
Some of the Fatui standing around Northern Bank were having a quiet conversation about it, which caught his interest.
Of course, he hadn't seen any signs of the balladeer in Liyue especially near the bank as he often came to see if any of the Harbingers were around.
So far, he caught a glimpse of Signora speaking with another woman from the sounds of their voices but never really saw this other person.
"I'm not surprised you managed to receive the gnosis from Rex Lapis," Aether immediately got chills all over his body upon hearing how cold and distant this voice was.
"The most remarkable woman I know is you."
Signore let out a scoff but it held no ill emotions behind as she would normally sound.
And by the sounds of it, the Harbinger might be fond of this woman with her.
"Please, don't flatter me. Now, onto the business, we have to discuss."
"Hm, it will be best to talk about this where no one is eavesdropping. Shall we head inside?"
Aether froze, not daring to move an inch as the sound of footsteps got closer to where he was hiding, they paused for a moment before walking away as he let out a breath of relief.
Hearing the door of the bank close, he quickly gets away from the area.
'Who was that?'
He thinks to himself as he leaves the area unaware of someone watching him from afar.
A pair of [E/c] eyes, a hint of indigo in them as they watch Aether walk away before hearing Signora calling for them.
"My apologies, I dropped my hair clip." The figure says as they take one last glance at the traveler before retreating inside.
The next couple of days is rather quiet, with no extreme commissions until one took him to some ruins to find a missing child that wandered off from their village.
It took a couple of hours and he hasn't come across the lost child until he hear the distant sound of children's laughter coming from the other side of the ruin inside.
Quickly following the sound, he spots a figure, just standing there as well as the children who seem to be in their arms.
But he freezes and immediately summons his sword at the sight of an all-familiar large hat the figure is wearing, two black veils hanging from behind, and indigo hair.
"The Balladeer...." He mutters just loud enough to alert the figure whose head moves upwards slightly.
"Hm?"
They managed to block his attack so fast that he backs away, and the dust in the air finally clears up only for him to be surprised.
The person who stands in front of him isn't the Balladeer, rather it was a woman who had a very confused look on her face as the child looks at him, a bit curious.
After a few moments of silence, Aether is the first to make a move, apologies to the woman is simply stares at him.
"You thought I was...the balladeer? One of the Fatui Harbingers?" She says, a bit shocked, gesturing to the hat, "was it the hat?"
The blonde nods his head, a little embarrassed, not only did he mistake this woman as the 6th Harbinger but nevertheless put her and the lost child in danger by blindly attacking.
She didn't seem to mind, "I understand," she says, letting down the child who happily runs to pick up a few flowers that grew on the floor.
"But," Aether could sense something off, almost a malice aura surrounding her at the next couple of words as she narrows her eyes down at him, he could swear that they gave a soft glow as she placed a hand on her waist, where her sword was hidden, not that he knew of course. "what if you're not wrong? I could be the Balladeer and strike you down right here, right now."
His blood ran cold at this, eyes widen, and he almost raised his sword if it was not for the child who ran up to her. Offering her the flowers, a faint smile grew on her lips as she accepted them.
"Thank you, I think it's about time we bring you back, your parents must be worried sick." The child pouts at this but she gives them a look, "okay." They mutter as she picks them up again before walking by Aether who stood there.
Her footsteps pause for a bit as she stops to look back at him, "well, aren't you coming?"
He snaps out of it and rushes to catch up to her. She quite taller than him, hair reaching past her waist as her gaze is looking straight ahead, no signs of emotions on her face, a stoic look.
They reach the exit of ruin and she lets down the kid who immediately wanders off, leading them back to where their parents live.
He begins a conversation while they walk, he introduces himself yet she doesn't spare him a glance.
It's a quiet for a few moments before she finally responds.
"I am [Y/n], a wanderer from Inazuma." She says, "...it's nice to meet you, Aether."
He doesn't notice the way she said his name as he runs after the child was beginning to stray off the path again, leaving the [H/c]-Indigo haired woman to herself.
[E/c] eyes narrow down as they give off a soft glow, "so this is the traveler he spoke of." She mutters to herself as her eyes glued on the blonde ahead of her.

most reddit aita stories are not real. the more outlandish they are the less likely that are to be real. if they have a throwaway account it's probably not real.
you gotta understand 1) nothing is true on the internet except for the down with cis bus and 2) their ecosystem had been fundamentally changed by tumblrinas flooding boards with /r/ambien. mind you we must remember fabrication of ridiculous stories is a time honored tradition. u think someone would go on the internet and tell lies?
well yes! nowadays you can't say you were sold into slavery by one direction for clout. we're all too old for that now it aint gonna work. but reddit, reddit is exotic in all the worst ways. it's a foreign country with foreign customs. the public opinion of the redditor is not a positive one, and there is an abundance stereotypes about the typical redditor.
what is a redditor? well most people have a certain image of that type of user. white. male. gamer. not particularly pleasant to be aground poor hygiene. might be misogynistic.
now i wont deny that this is probably a demographic that exists in a significant enough sample that one might feel justified in holding these stereotypes. but you might also realized these traits are almost like stock characters in aita stories by accounts that are created just for that post. theres often a cartoonishly cruel lack of both empathy and self awareness to these characters that almost seems like they were designed to make you hate them.
hey reddit, am i (36M) the assole for telling my pregnant wife(18F) that the couch is for my gaming time? she refuses to feed me snacks or clean the house because she claims she is so tired from working full time to pay the bills but dammit I'm a full time twitch streamer! she never thinks of MY NEEDS! aita?
im just saying before you get too mad at this guy try to understand he is most likely as real a person as the oppa homeless style guy

idk if louis decided he was gonna ditch lestat, grace might've accepted him back although the freaky non-aging yeah by that point would've been an issue but i guess psychologically for louis with her around, there was still some hope that he could get out? but once she's gone its like that door is fully closed in his mind too
do recall tho that grace and louis never rly contact eachother after a certain point. louis is too into in his own vampy family, and likewise grace with her own family, even moreso w/ levi symbolically replacing louis as the Man of the House in ep3. the lines r drawn in the sand. once again idk if ur the same anon or not, i think yall being entirely too generous to grace here + assuming she'd just take back her brother who she hardly had that much interest in contacting outside of sending jonah his way + sending a note that maman died. when they did meet in ep4, grace+ levi were both disgusted. ur fine w/ ur white daddy in the quarter aint u lou like how she says.
this falls into the fan issue of seeing black female characters as ever generous empty vessels of servitude for black males/female charas of nonblack varieties w/ no interiority or capacity for any complex human emotion when no. thats not how grace is with louis. grace is convinced by ep4 id say + seals the belief in ep5 when she leaves that her older brother [metaphorically or literally] died somewhere along the way+ was replaced by an evil gay demon. this may sound hyperbolic, but she literally says ur not my louis and buries him. how else can u interpret that lol. she has a complex relationship with her brother that degrades throughout season 1, and in no way can i see canon show! grace being some unconditionally loving confidante to her battered gay brother, vampire or not. she made no indication of disapproving of paul being in the asylum, or disapproving of louis's illicit dealings, its only once louis diverges from being a provider for the dulacs, and comes by in the night/if at all, that grace starts to resent her brother. let black women be complex characters. and like one of my other anons said as i attached below
Tumblr media
louis himself, is prideful as he is tormented.. even in the modern day, he does not self identify as a victim at the very least, for the purposes of daniel's writing + for reasons ive described time + time again, so what makes u think a 1920s-30s lou after being beat would go to his baby sister if she stayed in town somehow? like i said, being part of the historical great migration/s makes a lot of sense for grace + levi's characters. whether louis isnt paying out, or grace is refusing louis's money [lol u aint had no problem when big bro was a trick but now that white daddy pay the bills u aint touchin dat money? who knows]. outside of that theres very few opportunities for the freniere-dulacs, used to their former conditional opulence in the treme, in this here jim crow south outside of going up north. do recall that years before, louis hid the fact that papa du lac was boutta drive their family into destitution for years, even from his own mother, and especially from his younger sister. if we take the pilot draft describing grace as 22 or the books, this means grace is decently younger than show!louis. when he ran away from lestat in ep3 before finding claudia, he didnt go to the treme where his sister + then alive mother was, but to the old poor black neighborhoods, seeking absolution in an abstract sense for his self perceived wrongs, and bringing that redemption to lestat. to be turned, to live forever, to love him in a way his born family could not. eps 2-3 show that louis cannot go back to his born family anymore. something something ziska fill me up post here
