Things I like to think would happen if the Knights and co knew about Merlin’s magic (and merthur):
• “Merlin, can you do the fire trick with the dragon again?”
• “I’m not drying your clothes, Gwaine. You chose to go in the river fully clothed, you pay the price.”
• Merlin making them flower crowns and them bullying Arthur into wearing his
• Everyone asking him if he can make them fly
• Merlin pretending he can talk to the horses and making them think him and the horses are shit talking
• Him and Gwen pretending to do chores together but really he magicked it and they’re just having a nice evening
• Merlin and Morgana having lessons in the forest while the knights what over so none one spits them
• “No, I can’t read minds.” One of the knights, “oh, okay.” *realises they didn’t ask that out loud.* “WAIT-“
• Merlin and Arthur cuddling together at night accidentally and everyone knows because Merlin’s magic is safe now and leaves a patch of flowers under him when he sleeps
• Merlin creating plants with his magic so he doesn’t have to spend so much time gathering herbs for Gaius
• the Knights and Gwen taking this a step further and making a garden of herbs for him and Gaius
• Arthur realising they should have done that years ago and putting the royal funds into it despite Uthers annoyance
• Morgana and Merlin being taught how to fight with swords (even if she already knows a fair bit) so they can protect themselves with something other than magic
• the two of them then teaching Gwen because they both think she’d be an amazing knight
• Gaius having a mini heart attack whenever he hears Merlin and the Knights talking about magic
• them realising he’s insecure about his healing magic because it’s the hardest form of magic and being sure to praise him whenever he does it or any other form of healing
• After Merlin and Arthur finally get together, his magic doesn’t want to leave him alone and so when he does his little fire show for them it instantly goes to Arthur and the others get jealous
• after an attack and Merlin nearly gets hurt, Arthur ‘forces’ his Knights to be sworn to Merlin with Merlin’s staff and so technically, they’re also his Knights and Merlin is a royal
• The druids instantly knowing this and calling him a prince
• the knights going along with it
• After a while the Knights (who know how) begin to teach the Druids things like reading and currency
• everyone teasing Merlin by saying his magic has a crush on Arthur despite the two being together already
• he blushes every time
• Merlin openly enchanting their amour to be stronger and magic proof
• him giving Gwen and Morgana matching necklaces that are also enchanted that they keep hidden
• all of them are so impressed with his power but then they are just straight dumfounded because like… how the fuck did he keep this hidden for so long?
• Growing strawberries once he sees how much Gwen loves them and they are really rare
• tricking the Knights into thinking he can talk to ghost just to laugh at their faces
• Just constantly embarrassed by the Druids cause they see him as a god or, as the knights point out, as a king and the Knights decide that means he’s Arthur’s wife and Queen of Camelot
• Arthur making this worse by saying, “Queen or Consort?”
• Merlin flicking water in his face despite none being near them
I’ll add more as I think of them :)

Leo, Aries and Pisces placements but mostly fiery energy. Could Leo mars or mars conjunct sun in their chart. I'm seeing ripped jeans and leather jackets as their thing, they unconsciously command attention even when they aren't trying at all😭 So independent and I feel like your person just knows they are untouchable omg they are so regal and effortlessly attract people because they are just so classy and stunning also hot lmao😂♥️ Siren energy, They ooze confidence but not in a cocky way but a subtle "I know what I'm worth" type way😎👌 Some of you have fought with this person or thought they had it out for you but it was just because they seem so fierce and intimidating, There are such high class vibes from your person, I feel like they spoil themselves in a good way.

Pile 2🥀
Tumblr media
Sign energy: Virgo, Boundaries, Options, Emotions, Fine, Venus, Mars, 10th house, Taurus, Air, 🧊🧚‍♀️🆓️💪
💀Your person's energy: This is a very lovely person on pile 2's mind, they radiate beauty and grace as well as a light presence about them. Lots of air and earth energy, they could be a Virgo, Taurus or Capricorn. Any of the air signs, especially Libra is likely. They may have Venus in Virgo or Mars in the 10th house. I'm seeing someone very capable and analytical, very successful in many ways. I think they are rather reserved in terms of relationships, they may even suppress their desires when it comes to romance and intimacy. I just heard "I don't give myself out for free" that could be them they may be sceptical of sharing themselves in a relationship.🖤🤚 Your person could be famous or well known, successful entrepreneur or business owner, or simply has many opportunities. They may work in the beauty industry or in a more feminine environment (could work around more females). I think both men and women admire and are attracted this person, they have qualities that many wish they had. I heard they make your heart flutter🦋 Also your person may be chill and say they are fine a lot and it may seem like they have very few emotions, but they do think a lot in their head and may worry about little things.💭
🖤Their deepest desires of you: Head, Feelings, Nice, Dark thoughts, Fast, Venus, Pisces, 9th house, 10th house, Vertex, 📱🧍‍♂️🦥🐍 Ahh my pile 2's your person gets dark thoughts so quick about you like it just comes out of nowhere and then suddenly they hold onto those thoughts and can't stop thinking about them🧠👿😰 Omg and your person thinks you have nice thighs/hips and legs too and they deeply desire this about you.🥰 They love seeing photos of you and think you look really attractive on screen (do with that info as you will👀🙈) They desire soft loving and ever expanding feelings with you, and deeply desire dreaming of you~💤😇 They love the way you creep around their mind, and they tend to desire thoughts of bossing you around or dominating you. (omg) They want to hold you tight and love thinking about doing so, wrapping you in their embrace so you can't get out without begging🥵 They have these types of thoughts they desire with you. You know what I think they really want to dominate you the most, holding you down or restraining you is what they REALLY desire deeply like oml they have an intense desire for that with you my pile 2's. They want to meet their fantasies as well as yours, and drown in pleasure with you. They wanna make you theirs fast so nothing can tear you two apart🥺♡
💋Messages from your person: I hope you feel better, You might get hurt, I know you're crazy over me, I can't even, I wish I could, It doesn't matter to me, I can save you, I need someone, I don't think dark thoughts about you, Give me more (Omg playing innocent but the thoughts don't lie😂😈) Extra cards: Beach, Art, Matching, Diamond, Sweetheart, 7th house, North node, 6th house, Aquarius, Venus (Aww pile 2 your person wants to be your lover and know they want a future with you!!!💖)
Thank you my pile 2's! If you feel this resonated, you may tap the heart to claim this message!🖤
I hope you enjoyed your reading! ʚ(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )ɞ If you did be sure to let me know pile 2 with the emoji~ Thanks for scrolling through, Hugs hugs hugs!! See you in the next reading💋
Pile 3🎹
Tumblr media
Sign energy: World, Self reflection, Binded, Hold on, Health, Water, 10th house, Sun, Pisces, North node, 🌊😖🔝🦁
💀Your person's energy: Aww I'm getting soft lion vibes from your person, like they wanna be fierce and assert dominance but they are such a literal sweetheart.😢💞💖 My pile 3's may have fell in love with this person's emotional side, they are so soft and imaginative. Pisces energy is strong in this pile, also soft Leo placements especially 12th house, also Capricorn placements are present. I can see them starimg at their reflection in the water a lot, or that could be how they see themselves from a illusive ever changing view. This is someone you see yourself with in the future, and omg this person really reminds you of yourself. They inspire you that's what I'm hearing, like they make you wanna be your best most successful self😟💝❤ So sweet I honestly love the way my pile 3's look at this person with just so much awe and admiration!! They make you feel emotional even if you aren't usually, you feel like this is your other half. You feel like they are apart of your identity in some way, and they give you a sense of pride.🥰 You guys are so cute and for some of you this person is a nature activist or wants to help save the planet, some of my pile 3's person are into veganism and healthcare. Now they could live near an ocean or beach and want to help clean beaches. Many of you wish to hold on to this connection.
🖤Their deepest desires of you: Eyelashes, Question, Out, Prince, Learn, Capricorn, 9th house, 12th house, Pisces, Vertex, 🟨🧍‍♂️🤨🥊 Okay so I'm getting that for some of you this person may be more on the innocent side, I mean they could be very "out of the loop" I'm hearing (I mean in terms of intimacy💋) I feel their energy is more lost and confused about what exactly they desire with you. It is inevitable that they will ask a lot of questions and need to learn a lot more about their kinks/what pleases them. But for my pile 3's your person is definitely ready to learn for you, they want to discover every way to thrill you and do it just right.🖤 They also desire to get high from you and be more in touch with their spirituality with you, they really want to feel outer-body experiences with my pile 3's just like things that take them higher☁️ (could desire using substances to get high with you for some🍷). Your person wants to dream of you and learn more about yours and their darkest fantasies they aren't aware of. For some of you this person has some masochistic desires for you or them🤯 I'm hearing they wanna "knock you out" could be physical pleasure or they could desire to have you unconscious and have fun from there wtf🥵🥵🥵 Wow I didn't expect that but it makes sense, they wanna have you vulnerable and helpless a little. Their deepest desires are to learn your unconcious mind and surprise you with things you don't even know you like😈😰😰 Wow this is crazy pile 3 your person wants to learn it ALL.
💋Messages from your person: You scare me sometimes, I can feel your pain, I can be your fantasy, Oh my god, I'm bleeding, It's so painful, I'm obsessed with you, My angel, This is all my fault, You make me angry (Wow the passion is insane with your person🤯😫♥️) Extra cards: Ego, Attraction, Violence, Violate, Lilith, 8th house, Pluto, 9th house, North node, 3rd house (WOW this just got crazy I'll just tell you they literally want to make you moan wtf for some of you this person literally wants to be SO aggresive and intense in ways that bring you pain and pleasure🥵👿 Using your hands thighs, and legs... They wanna show you their dark side wtf take what resonates of course.)
Thank you my pile 3's! If you feel this resonated, you may tap the heart to claim this message!🖤
I hope you enjoyed your reading! ʚ(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )ɞ If you did be sure to let me know pile 3 with the emoji~ Thanks for scrolling through, Hugs hugs hugs!! See you in the next reading💋
Pile 4💄
Tumblr media
Sign energy: Pessimist, Museum, Quiet place, Optimist, On, Uranus, Pisces, 11th house, Venus, Scorpio, 😫👊🍓🙊
💀Your person's energy: Ooh we got some very scorpio vibes, intense energy. This could be a Scorpio Venus or Venus in 11th house, maybe Capricorn rising for some of you. Pisces, Aquarius, Libra, Taurus. Your person has a more introverted vibe, they don't talk that much. But they are very unique, I feel themselves do all the talking them. They have unique sensual charms about them, even though they don't think so. They prefer to be in their home, that is when they are the most happy or in a good mood.🏠🖤 They are very sweet once observed further, if you give them time you will definitely notice how soft they can be on the inside. This could be a friend, or someone close to you like that but maybe they don't talk much. They are very gloomy though, always thinking the worst especially when it comes to close relationships and intimacy. They feel that making close friends/partners will end shortly after it begins, and they will be hurt again. So they can be very guarded and have bad associations about making close connections. They fight their unconscious social needs for others on a deeper level, and they tell themselves they don't need it.👥☹
🖤Their deepest desires of you: Push, Defensive, Spotlight, Holding hands, Meeting, 4th house, Virgo, 11th house, Mercury, 12th house, 🎁🔮🤤🔭 My pile 4's your person has some deep feelings for you, they desire to hold hands with you🥰💕 Aww now I'm getting that your person is really shy and/or defensive about their desires with you, they would feel uncomfortable to tell you themselves. They may feel like it is better if you know through other means such as divination or tarot, yeah I definitely don't see them opening up about this any time soon😂🖤 My pile 4's your person has a deep desire to have a very caring and healing connection with you, a relationship like a close friendship they long for but feel they can never keep or don't exist entirely. That's why they desire this with you, because all they truly want is close relationship almost like a best friend.😢 Your person desires being with you often, and they also sort of want your close relationships to be theirs too. May have the desire to have the same friends as you, they also desire attention from trusted circles people you know. Your person really desires you in a very sweet way, they want to give you gifts like matching bracelets and things best friends would do. It's not so much in a friendzone way but because they really want to be close like that with someone.🤧💌🖤
💋Messages from your person: I have no boundaries with you, Tell me how you really feel, This is all your fault, I won't let bad things happen to you, It's love at first sight, Don't let them treat you that way, Why not? I wanna thrill you, These emotions are too intense, I feel like a ghost (Ahh they don't know what to do with themselves😨) Extra cards: Risk, Obsession, Heartbreak, Mindfulness, Queen, Beauty & the beast, Scorpio, Saturn, Mars, Lilith, Uranus (Omg you guys this person is holding back such intense emotions and heavy passion they are so into my pile 4's but they don't wanna risk getting hurt anymore so they don't want to share their dark side or fall to deep into an obsession with you guys oml they don't want to spiral out of control with this intense passion for youuu🥺🖤)
Thank you my pile 4's! If you feel this resonated, you may tap the heart to claim this message!🖤
I hope you enjoyed your reading! ʚ(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )ɞ If you did be sure to let me know pile 4 with the emoji~ Thanks for scrolling through, Hugs hugs hugs!! See you in the next reading💋

Of course Aziraphale would just forgive 8 months rent
Lmao Gabriel’s just walking down the street ass naked
Gabriel just hugged Aziraphale I can’t
“James. Long for Jim, short for Gabriel”

“His type”????
“I remember hearing that you and Crowley were an item” HOLY SHIT

The fact that Gabriel and Beelzebub were able to sort this out in a few years while it’s taken Crowley and Aziraphale 6000 is insane

Kollector: He gets on his knees and holds up a handful of blood rubies towards Y/N. “The finest blood rubies the realms have to offer.”
Y/N: She picks up a perfectly cut ruby and brings it up to the light. The rays of light broke into small shards as it reflected off the crimson jewel. “They bleed well.”
Kollector: “They bleed from my heart.”
Kollector: “These hands do more than steal, My Lady.”

THOUGHTS ON CR3E92 IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
- FIRST EVER CR CROSSOVER EPISODE?!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
- Dariax said "This Flute doesn't play itself anymore." Doriax canon offscreen?
- "After all the handjobs, this is what we mean to you?!" Damn... I mean, I'm glad Opal and Cyrus found a way to relieve stress, Gods know they're both stressed, but damn.
- Ending the episode on Opal Twice-Crowned hitting phase 2 of the boss fight was EVIL!
I love it, @quiddie ! I feel like when this gets animated in a decade or so, we'll get this fight and the fight with Otohan Thull overlayed one on top of the other for a Season Finale or something!
- Raven Queen going two for two on Rogues turned Paladin! Which is great, but now I have to replan Morrighan's moveset for that imaginary Critical Role fighting game that only exists in my head (somebody ask me about it please, I NEED to talk about it!) but at least she gets some Smite options out of the Bunny Hop command jump!
- Dariax is a Bard now too! That's honestly so perfect for Matt! And the fact that both Sorcerers and Bards are Charisma Casters makes me feel like the Synergies are gonna be great!
- Oh, Dorian, wonderful blue king... That's a lot of strength that your Dice will never agree to let you use for anything cool. I missed you SO MUCH!
- Speaking of that imaginary CR fighting game, this just solidified Opal as a puppet character. The tag combos with Ted would be WILD! Think Kenshi from MK1!
- Fy'ra Rai... Just... FY'RA RAI! Gods, I've missed Anjali at the table! Her memory with Opal, her tug-of-war with her thoughts about her sister... THE LAVA WHIP! Nothing sexier than Monks! Except a pissed off Wizard or Druid.
- On the other side of the table, I LOVE the moment the girls all collectively remembered they had to break the news to Frida... Oh, that's gonna hurt BAD!
- Anyone else noticed that Ashton is BURNT OUT and laying on the ground after his Titan form wears off, but Fearne just says she's really tired and just KEEPS GOING? Ashton is DONE for now, but Fearne needs to keep moving forward... Fuck, I love these two.
- Orym... Just... Orym. If you take a level in Barbarian after this, I wouldn't blame you.
- Side-Note: This means Dorian DID get Orym's last message before they went to the moon! He just didn't/couldn't answer! Which means, through the static and everything, Dorian COULD hear Orym! And now he's probably gonna get this message once the battle is over... Jesus, if they get to Zephra and Keyleth went to the Lodge next to the lake that's gonna be a problem...
- Side-Note Side-Note: Anyone else hoping to GOD that Allura called the Nein to help? Cause Beau and Caleb were involved, but now it feels like an "All Hands on Deck" situation, and we could use Kingsley's small army of pirates right about now...
- So much happened this episode between the grieving and the flashbacks and the rolling for handjobs that I didn't have time to process the splinter cell of Xhorhasians that split their soul in twain until I woke up... Opal may have forgotten, but maybe Ted hasn't? Though if they're the same person, maybe they both forgot...
- Aabria, the corrupting of the Memories was FOUL, I LOVE IT!!!
- Somebody needs to tell Essek about the soul-splitters. In fact, let's get to that while we deal with Ashton too!
- IF OPAL DIES, AMY CAN COME OVER AS DENI$E! Like, I don't WANT her to die, but Westruun isn't that far... 👀
- I just realized this is the first ever FULL episode of CR without Sam at the table... Fuck, man, when it hurts it hurts. Glad Marisha brought back the fan.
"Forgot the Consonants?" "No Letters." OUCH, MISS RAY, WHAT THE FUCK?!
- Raven Queen Paladins hasting themselves first thing in the fight. Vax is back, and he's a Bunny Girl now!
- I like that the Crownkeepers are a two-way Overwatch reunion (McCree Cassidy and Symmetra) and a three-way Persona 5 reunion (Yusuke, Ann Futaba and Akechi).
- Everything was so fucked this episode that everything with Liliana got knocked to the background for me, THAT'S how good it was!
- The SECOND Evoroa said Ludinos was on Exandria I knew EXACTLY where he would be! Now we HAVE to get the Nein involved, right? Unless the bastard makes the city float again...
I cannot WAIT for the next episode! And if Sam brings a new character when all the groups are together, it would be SPECTACULAR! I'm guessing he's going to play one of the moon races, because that just sounds cool... Either that or Tary!

Dungeon Meshi - My Thoughts (Ch1-10)
Each section gets written out as I am reading. Keep in mind that I have finished episodes 1-12 of Cooking in Dungeon and that I have read chapters 27-31 (excluding 28.5)
Chapter 1.
I assume we’ll get info in this later on but I wonder why the country was sealed away in the first place.
“I bestow my entire kingdom upon the one who defeats the magician." - The King (presumably) I know that the anime does get into this a bit more as we go on and that a new king (or queen ?) would be crowned eventually but I wonder why it is that the king (if he is who he says he is) wants to allow his kingdom to be given away. Curious.
Side note, but I adore Laios talking about the dungeon ecosystem and food chain. Would love to seen an in-depth trophic web with different ecosystems of the dungeon. You could also include the factors that aren’t natural to the ecosystem, so like,,, the various races that go into the dungeon and how they effect the environment around them with adventuring and other things. I wonder if there are any concept maps made already for this type of thing. We’re seeing a basic food chain but I want it in depth !!
Laios is very cute, send tweet !
Chapter 2.
I do find it very sweet that Laios is asking Marcille if she wants anything specific to eat.
Laios is such a little weirdo. God, I love him. This was also the first occasion of me wanting to try one of the foods they made. The tart looks really good and I'm currently regretting reading this before dinner :|
Chapter 3.
I had it in my mind that chimeras were like a very specific animal combo, but hearing Laios calling the basilisk a chimera put that into perspective for me. Like,, yeah no that makes sense. Interesting.
Chapter 4.
Marcille and Falin on the front page :( Guys.
The episode for this was a rough watch for me because of how Marcille was getting treated tbh, and it's similar now while reading but I did feel more with the show. I get the concerns that the party has, because they need to hurry (mind you, Laios literally holds them up down the line with the painting stuff in the other level), but implying she is already being a bit of a burden by saying she'll be "more of a burden" if she collapses is,,,, not Chilchuck's best moment.
"Not being useful to anyone makes me feel so lonely..." - Marcille I liked her already leading up to this but this was one of this things that got me to latch onto her so quickly. I do appreciate that Chilchuck did initially go to apologize for having called her a burden, and that Laios pointed out that everyone was useful in the team but with different strengths. Them :(
Chapter 5.
Chilchuck fighting for his life and trying not to get his shit rocked by the traps going off is incredibly funny and I feel for him. My neurotic little guy,,, love him.
Laios wanting to take the bones home is incredibly endearing. Me too, buddy, me too.
Chapter 6.
Touden siblings flashback !! I care about them so much, you guys.
Laios looks so dejected about not being able to eat living armor,,, what a freak /pos. He isn't wrong though, if you can beat it you can probably also eat it.
Chapter 7.
MARCILLE WEARING THE ARMOR IN THE FRONT PAGE ??? Oh my god . Christ. Not even a warning ? God. Oh my god. I'm kicking my feet and giggling, y'all she is so,, . Christ.
Love that Laios got to discover something that likely no one else knew about just because he was soo hell-bent on eating different monsters.
Downside: I couldn't rock with the meal in this chapter. Too... mollusk-y. Mollusks freak me out.
Chapter 7.5.
Ohhh this is everything to me. Monster biology !! We get to learn more about how monsters are seen and spoken about in-universe. I adore this. I can't remember if the anime shows any of this section, but I think it's an incredibly fun part of the world-building. It makes it feel real.
Chapter 8.
This is incredibly nitpicky but it's a little annoying when people use "symbiotic relationship" to ONLY mean a beneficial relationship on both ends. Chilchuck asks if the vegetables act as parasites to the golems and Senshi says that it's the opposite and then proceeds to call it a symbiotic relationship because they help one another. He's not entirely wrong, but symbiotic relationships include parasitism ! Mutualism (the relationship between the golems and the vegetables), commensalism, parasitism, and competition are all symbiotic relationships. Again, incredibly nitpicky but this always bothers me.
"It's a crime to tamper with magical creatures without permission" - Marcille Girl,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, don't even talk about crimes rn when you know damn well what you're getting up to in your free time*
On another note, I love how we learn more about Senshi's motivations in staying down there and all he does to protect the ecosystem functions.
Chapter 9.
One of the first signs, to my knowledge, that the dungeon is acting strange. The red dragon itself (himself ? herself ? theirself ?) is acting a bit strangely ! We learn earlier on that red dragons aren't very mobile and the characters assume (hope, really) it would be resting after such activity, but here we learn that it's on the move and showing up closer to the orcs. The orcs have pretty much been here the longest and even they see that as odd. Makes you wonder.
The baby orc ! What a cutie. I love that the kid is the one to suggest they share the meal and that Marcille tries to smooth the situation over. I like how fuzzy the orcs are. It caught me off guard in the anime but the fur is a neat touch.
Laios not really considering the possibility of defeating the mad sorcerer and becoming king. Pretty boys are often allergic to thinking.
ALSO, Laios talking about Falin always gets to me :(
Chapter 10.
Is it even necessary to tell y'all that I immediately latched onto Kabru ? I'm transmasc, ofc I latched onto him. Same with the anime. It was funny to get invested in him only to see him and his party immediately getting their shit rocked.
We're being told again that the dungeon has been acting strangely, which is not new info to us but it does help to build a case for it. Kabru points out that he's been told about the dungeon layout changing day-by-day* and the monsters becoming more aggressive.
Ah. Marcille essentially flash-banging the group (and the bugs) is incredibly relatable. I can't do bugs. I cannot and I will not. I know the meal looks incredibly pretty, but I physically would not be able to consume it knowing that it's just,,, bugs. I don't even eat lobster and shrimp due to how bug-like they are. It's bugs !
---- *Asterisks-marked comments are marked because they are points I know that become relevant down the line because I've either seen it already or read about it already. I will wait to get there in the chronology to speak more on it, but this is my way to point out some foreshadowing that I am aware of.

Listen listen listen
I know I ask a lot of questions
but hear me out
the villains of Luigi's harem... Bad End (the bad guys win)
Every king needs a queen 👑
Oh dear, none are pleasant endings for Luigi but lets do it! Btw, I found two fanarts that describe the bad endings best for Bowser and King Boo, I'll reblog them when I'm done with this.
Bowser: it's hard to picture how this would turn out since he's always defeated by Mario as he's Bowser's nemesis, plus I think Bowser enjoys the chaos he causes and putting Mario through all these adventures. But it can certainly happen if Mario ends up being defeated, Bowser would not have let that win go and would either fully immobilize Mario or kill him, if he were actually that hateful towards the plumber. Finally, he can set his plan for world domination in motion and Luigi would be by his side throughout all of it. Luigi would beg and plead with Bowser to stop and do the right thing but it falls on deaf ears and none of the minions are willing to help. Everything is covered in Bowser's mark, everything is controlled to his rule and desire. But Luigi is trapped, the luxuries he receives being of no value to him, he feels like a traitor to be the only to get such lavish treatment while he friends and family are either dead or imprisoned. He had tried to fight, trying to stone his heart and fight Bowser for peace again but it was of no use, not when he's alone and everything has been remodeled to Bowser's benefit.
King Boo: This guy's main mission is to get that bad ending for Luigi, where all his friends and family are captured in paintings to be put up on the wall for display, their horrified expressions stuck in time and with Luigi by his side to see it all. If he were caught alive, he'd be put in a painting for any acts of rebellion or escape, otherwise sticking him to his side and have him watch as he terrorized the living and expanding his domain. If dead, he'd be able to have better control of him given how he's able to control and even brainwash legions of ghosts all at once so he'd have no problem trapping Luigi's ghost to his castle, he'd find it interesting to see how Luigi will adapt as one and how he'll turn out as the centuries pass by. Perhaps he could modify Luigi to be more accepting to his ways and have him terrify the living with him and his boos.
Antasma: This would have happened if he had taken the Dream Stone and betrayed Bowser before he was betrayed. Since he'd used the Dark Stone, he'd know better on how to use the Dream Stone too so he'd be an even harder boss to beat, if he had taken Dreamy Luigi hostage or done something that damaged Luigi's psyche and affected his dreamself so he couldn't assist Mario properly, he would have won and along with Dreambert, would have been captured or even dead. Pi'illo Island and even the Dream World would have been turned into a living nightmare by his design and due to Luigi's legendary powers, he would have been captured and turned into some sort of trophy, a personal buffet only the king was allowed to feed on, never to see another ray of sunlight again. The dream bats would have gone rough and some may turn into monsters too from eating nightmares instead of dreams like Antasma did but he'd never let them get as powerful. Matter of fact, he'd train and use them to conquer other regions and kingdoms.
Dimentio: What do you think would happen here? Game over. Literally. Nothing more, nothing less. The plan would go accordingly. Count Bleck would be down, the Pure Hearts useless, the Chaos Heart and Luigi at the ready to defeat the heroes. And the heroes would have lost. The worlds across the universe would have crumbled and turned to dust, not a single spec of them left to tell an old story. He would have made his own worlds to his desire, become king of them or better yet, their God. And his Man in Green would be by his side for the whole ride, drowning in guilt and despair at the cruel fate that he was given and cursed to be chained to the demented jester that created this hell using him as a tool.

Reyna’s not at the end of dealing with Edelgard yet! Edelgard in Thracia, chapter one
So who’s familiar with ReynaAtTheEnd? She (I remember reading Reyna’s a she from some of her mutuals, I’m going to assume that’s accurate, but if not I’ll swiftly correct it) wrote a fanfic called The Savior King, The Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation, a sort of Azure Moon/Verdant Wind fusion fanfic that are all the craze with Dimiclaude shippers, in which they form a polycule with Byleth.
Oh and also Edelgard Takes a Level in Dumbass and Jerkass, and only generally makes appearances when it’s time for her to get her shit kicked in by the heroes.
Well, Reyna decided to try her hand at giving Edelgard a redemption story, and we all know how wonderful it is when Edelgard haters try to “redeem” her. And she did this by thrusting Edelgard into the plot of Thracia 776, so uhh...
Tumblr media
But before we go any further:
DO NOT, I REPEAT: DO NOT, under any circumstances, harass Reyna! I don’t wanna hear about people leaving her insulting messages, folks! I mean it!
Tumblr media
EMPEROR. IT’S EMPEROR. Edelgard is never called an empress, Reyna!
From the summary:
Edelgard lost everything - her country, her ideals, her life - to Agartha and to the choices she made.
No, she lost them to Reyna’s hatred for her. And also to Byleth, Dimitri, and Claude being the biggest god-mode incarnations of themselves I’ve ever seen and commanding a kickass army including both the Kingdom and Alliance unified against her, alongside basically all the Relics, and even Rhea and the Immovable. Yeah, Reyna wanted Indech to kaiju it up on Edelgard so bad she wrote him out of character and had him fight on Byleth’s side.
Queen of Liberation was also the story where Edelgard, after being beaten, was captured by Thales, subjected to her trauma again, beaten, tortured, turned into an enslaved monster, and subsequently dispatched like an enemy of the week with no fanfare.
Just so everyone’s aware of where Reyna stands.
Upon awakening in another world ruined by war, she despaired and began going through the motions; only for another cult of evil and a very different dragon god to force her hand - and, perhaps, truly turn her into the revolutionary leader she had wished to be. 
No, she was a revolutionary leader. I know Edelgard detractors don’t like it, but,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her detractors have long tried to twist things do that Edelgard can’t be a revolutionary because she’s someone in power herself, but Rhea and Seteth don’t appear to have gotten the memo on that.
On to the first chapter proper:
So we open with Edelgard suddenly waking up and trying to work things out. Very sadly, at that.
Consciousness came to her one bit at a time. It was cool, wherever she was. The pain was gone – the spire of the Viskm ramming through her is the last fragmented memory that she has. 
Yeah she died when the Wandering Beast slammed her through a Viskam. Reyna has a weird habit of making her fight scenes grizzly affairs like something out of fucking Akame Ga Kill!, but still permitting Claude to get paragraphs-long breaking speeches in the middle of a fight because Claude is just so awesome~
It didn't make sense. She died, hadn't she? The miserable joke of her life, her broken ideals and woeful attempt to change the world had ended when the Wandering Beast did her a kindness and slammed both of them through the floor and impaled her demonic body. Wasn't that enough? Wasn't it enough, Sothis?! 
Sothis may forgive you, but Reyna never will, Edelgard. Bolding mine, btw, we gotta get Edelgard nice and miserable before everything else begins.
Myson had brute forced the procedure that she and her loyal mages had been looking into and the transformation had ripped her apart and reassembled her into a parody, a sick combination of the myths of the Crest of the Beast and those dragons. 
The word “dragon” doesn’t appear to exist in Fodlan. Demonic Beasts are always called Demonic Beasts, and Nabateans are always called Children of the Goddess. The only instance we see of the word “dragon” comes from the name of the Dragon Claw gauntlet weapons.
Edelgard soon realizes she’s alive and has her free will again, but her body’s too weak to move. She wonders at first if this is some punishment from Sothis, but no, it’s punishment from Reyna, Edelgard.
Thales's horror. The instinctive reminder felt like a joke, making her feel sick as soon as it rushed up. No, she had participated in that horror and turned her nose up at those who expressed their qualms about it. Horror had been too useful to reject.
Time for Edelgard to castigate herself, folks :)
Useful! Oh, it had been so useful in the end, it turned her people against her and reduced her to a monster, a pawn sacrificed to buy a little bit of time. 
Reyna wants to make damn sure Edelgard knows she was never in control.
The suffering had fuelled the machine of war, alright
That “alright” is taking me out, I can’t picture Edelgard talking that way.
– consuming all that she'd tried to build. Maximus Varley, Ladislava, Randolph... everything they had done had only made the Alliance and the Kingdom more determined to defeat them. Had only caused her own people harm; burning in wild fires in front of the monastery, 
Ahh, yes, that was one of the instances of Claude’s ~~brilliant scheming~~
So, see, he had Constance bolting the Imperial forces because Claude’s ~~brilliance~~ in Queen of Liberation generally came in the form of having access to knowledge the actual Claude didn’t have or telling people to do things they were already going to do and being given the credit by the narration, such as when Constance hit some “dry grass” and started a fire:
Tumblr media
The problem with this?
This is at the tail end of the Winter. I know it’s Always Spring in Three Houses, but this is meant to be happening in Winter, as all the monthly narration cards show lots of snow. Further, Garreg Mach is always shown to be quite lush, indicating they get plenty of rain there. I’m from California, I know what dry grass looks like :p
Oh yeah, and the people with Crests doing awesome shit is a recurring theme of Reyna’s work, thus proving Edelgard right about Fodlan! 
Ironic.
starving in the fields as the spring seeds died without farmers to tend to them,
Because Edelgard Took a Level in Dumbass and levied farmers who needed to tend the fields.
 subjected to kidnapping and experimentation and stripping of their humanity.
Because Edelgard Took a Level in Dumbass and Jerkass and kidnapped rando citizens to turn into Demonic Beasts instead of using prisoners or something.
Hey, I’m not saying the latter would be any more moral, I’m just saying it would be the smarter move, meaning the kind of evil pragmatic Edelgard her detractors believe in would go for it.
Edelgard angsts some more:
She had presumed so much. You would think that an emperor would be immune to fanciful thinking. 
Fight Reyna’s control, Edelgard! D: You’re better than thiiiiiiiiis.
After everything she'd experienced, she had thought that her perspective had changed enough that she was. After seeing the rot in the world, she should have been more clearheaded, not less. After seeing her siblings suffer and die, Justine holding on only to be a prisoner in her own body.
...It should have made her care more about the people who's lives she was responsible for, not less.
She does care, Reyna. Stay mad.
That was why she forced herself to use the Agarthans, threw her whole kingdom into the chance of changing that system for good -
Empire, Reyna, Edelgard’s not in charge of a Kingdom. Dimitri is.
...and became the reason her people suffered instead.
It’s funny how the actual Edelgard comes to terms with this before her war even starts, but because that doesn’t leave room for Edelgard being surprised by her ineptitude and castigating herself we need to just edit that out of her brain so she can feel bad, as Reyna wants her to.
This is true despair, isn't it?
Was this what Dimitri felt after the Tragedy? What Byleth felt, after Kronya and Thales were able to kill her father, because she had given the, them easy access to the monastery?
(weak laughter) Reyna, you really are on the Edelhater best hits collection.
Thales and Kronya would have gotten in even if Edelgard weren’t around, Solon already proved that.
Then, Edelgard starts thinking about Dimitri! Oh boy.
Her step brother. How had she forgotten...? 
...Trauma.
He...had remembered her, hadn't he? That's why he had hovered around her, had acted protective in a way she had found bizarre and patronizing coming from a stranger – because he hadn't been a stranger. 
Edelgard, honey, that didn’t happen. Dimitri in Queen of LIberation doesn’t think about you. It takes until the week after Flayn’s kidnapping - a full half a year around her - before he starts thinking about the time he shared with her. Everything before that? Dry and clinical, no thought for his time with you or any thought about you.
Even after his own pain, he'd remembered her and cared; her pain had taken all those memories away and left her feeling nothing. 
Even when Dimitri isn’t around, we have to be reminded how great he is.
We could have destroyed Agartha together, Edelgard thought in a shining moment of clarity, coming out of a sleeplike moment yet again. Him, I, Byleth. Even Riegan, infuriating as he would have been to deal with, we... together, we could have...
It’s a ~~moment of clarity~~ for her that she could have just talked things out worked with Byleth and Claude like a good girl.
Sad. Sad and pathetic. Why was she only realizing this now? 
Because defeating the Agarthans wasn’t your objective, Edelgard. Overthrowing Fodlan’s oppressive Crest-based aristocracy was.
Edelgard asks Reyna Sothis why things gotta be this way, then,
She doesn't expect a response. Edelgard expected less than nothing, really; the active goddess was with Byleth, after all. 
Oh yeah, Sothis doesn’t fuse with Byleth such that she can’t talk anymore in Queen of Liberation, because it’d be off-brand if she wasn’t around to convey her Nabatean wisdom against Edelgard’s cause, but she DOES grant Byleth her... life force or some shit to give Byleth a powerup.
Look, Reyna wanted Byleth to get her shounen mid-season powerup, and she also wants Sothis around as a mouthpiece for how great the Nabateans are. She gets things both ways and you can suck it!
Why would [Sothis] have any sympathy for her at all? Naming her children monsters and ordering their deaths, 
That thing Edelgard doesn’t do!
allying with the Agarthans who hated her.
I wonder how Reyna feels about Sothis having no problem with Byleth going CF?
It’s implied Sothis reaches out to Edelgard, and she falls into unconsciousness. Edelgard wakes up in what is described to be akin to a peasant house somewhere, then,
“...poor dear.” A woman murmured, her hand brushing along Edelgard's forehead again.
“I just found 'er on the side of the road...” A man – no, a boy. Maybe Ashe's age, his voice heavy with an unfamiliar country lilt. “Couldn't see any sign that anyone was comin' back for her, so I couldn't just leave her there...”
“Must have been running from bandits, or Lifis's pirates.” The woman decided. “Or even the army. She's not old enough to have been in one of the Hunts, do you think?”
OH NO, did Edelgard get saved by Ronan? Did she get saved by Mekkah’s favorite RNG meme unit? Probably-Ronan and his mom talk a bit, Ronan implied Lifis’s goons might’ve sexually assaulted her, but his mom assures him there was no sign of it when she bandaged Edelgard’s wound, then she namedrops Heim and the gods.
Heim? Gods, plural? The people of Fodlan would have prayed to the Goddess and her alone. Oh, Sothis had done something to her all right. Brought her back to life and dumped her in some strange place...?
I’m sure we’re gonna see Edelgard take umbrage with the Jugdral gods, but given they’re distant except in times of great peril she probably wouldn’t really care about them.
“I've just about got the tea ready, Ronan.
Oh no T_T
Imagine getting saved by a low-tier scrub unit whose only notable trait is he might move around and attack a lot or he might do nothing valuable on the turn.
Her body aches faintly, but otherwise the bed she's on – while rough and wollen – is comforting in a strange way. No hard operating table, no too-soft mattress that felt increasingly like an embodiment of hypocrisy.
This is some weird tense jumping, I have to say.
Also we’ve just gone full on, “Yet you participate in society. Curious!”
Edelgard mostly just pretends to be unconscious and wangsts while Ronan and his mom care for her.
Edelgard could count on two (three, three, Dimitri had-) 
Again, Edelgard didn’t remember Dimitri and Dimitri was too busy gushing about Claude to remember her.
people after her sibling's death and her father's crippling 
Crippling? Oh no, does Reyna believe in that nonsense “Ionius tried to give himself the Crest of Flames!” theory that’s supposed to “explain” why he looks so sickly?
who'd given her companionship and kindess. And where had that gotten them? Hubert died because of her 
No, he died as collateral damage to Reyna’s punishment of her.
and she spurned Byleth for the sake of her vision because how could she understand when she was hosting the goddess -
Byleth didn’t care about Edelgard either.
Edelgard gets up, Ronan and his mom mention she’s in in Iz, in Thracia, neither of which Edelgard knows, naturally, then asks her where she’s going:
“You wouldn't,” Ronan reassured her. “We're a small village; I doubt most Thracians could point us out on the map.” Thracians? A people who's name she'd never heard. But what else did she expect after dying? “We're right up on the ocean; most of us are fishers, and nobody important lives for miles. We're on the way to some important places, but you'd be in for a bit of a hike to get to them. Were you headed somewhere specific?”
Edelgard thinks briefly of some things she might tell them, and dumps them all immediately. She didn't have a life to go back to; she was a failed conqueror, a villain in a cautionary tale that would last in Fodlan for all time, a... a pawn of greater evil. She felt so numb when that thought circled her mind. Empty and hopeless.
“Not really.” She said with a slight shake of her head. “I had been captured by cultists, and in my efforts to get away from them, fled for as long as I could in a random direction. I lost any sense of where I was, only that I got away.”
This whole fic is going to be Edelgard lamenting her actions and coming to Jesus, isn’t it.
Also, this is some weird tense.
Also also, Edelgard describing the Agarthans as cultists is kinda contrived so we could bring up the Loptr Cult.
Ronan and his mom immediately assume the Loptyrians targeted her for their Child Hunts, thinking maybe they branched out in age, and I have to wonder how well common people knew the Loptyrians were involved? Obviously they’d know the Grannvale Empire was behind it, but the church? Idk.
Anyways, Ronan’s mom promises Edelgard is safe because,
“We aint got no Belhalla bootlickers or Travant's sycophants in Iz. They won't know you're here and none of us are gonna talk.”
First off, what medieval peasant would know the word “sycophant”? Also, considering both Grannvale and the people of the Manster District hate the Thracians, I seriously doubt Trevant has many fans at all in northern Thracia.
Edelgard asks why they’re helping her, and she’s gobsmacked to learn it’s just because they think it’s the right thing to do, because evidently Edelgard in this universe has never considered doing a kind thing for the sake of it, pleaseignorehersupportstheyruinReyna’spoint.
Edelgard offers to help Ronan and his mother around the house in repayment for their help and we get this,
“Oooh...” The mother's brow furrows, wanting to refuse but unable to resist the offer of an extra pair of hands. “You're a kind girl, Edelgard.” Edelgard nearly chokes on absolutely nothing, thankfully managing to pull up her solemn mask in time. It would be rude to laugh in this woman's face over her misplaced compliment.
After seeing how often butwhatifidothis got mad at how self-loathing Edelgard is in The Emperor and the Goddess, it’s ironic as hell that Reyna is doing the same thing in this fic. Just for wildly different reasons.
Anyways, Ronan and his mom just urge her to rest for now.
The twosome leave the room... allowing Edelgard to bury her face in her hands and tangle her fingers tightly in her hair, and wonder what all of this was supposed to mean. Why hadn't she just been allowed to die? Why did she have to live when her ideals had failed her and her empire? 
Your ideals didn’t fail Adrestia, Edelgard, the deck was just stacked inordinately against you because Reyna had a point to make in the previous fic.
Was this some kind of messed up trial?! 
Ahh, yes, I can totally see Edelgard calling something, “messed up”.
What is voice, Reyna? What is voice?
Then we end the chapter with a whopper:
She gritted her teeth and lifted her head out of her hands. And that's when she noticed that the strands between her fingers are a vibrant heather brown. Not white. Her heart almost stopped in shock. After a second, she reached inside herself and tried to pull power from her unwanted Crest, from the blood of the Goddess.
Nothing. It's gone. The Crest of Serios was still there, dormant and lethargic to her calls, but the Sword of Damocles that had hung above her...is gone.
Edelgard slowly ran her fingers through her hair, restored to its natural colour, and slumped back on the bed and stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.
 You are no one's pawn now. What will you do?
Edelgard never was anyone’s pawn outside Reyna’s fic.
I’m a bit curious why she left the Crest of Seiros intact. I could guess it’s better because it’s “natural”, or maybe Edelgard needs to turn to Jesus embrace her Nabatean origins, or something. Guess we’ll find out, huh?
Now that’s the end of the chapter, but before I let ya go, there’s the Author’s Notes:
So! ...I woke up today and wrote multiple pages of this after figuring that I disliked Edelgard too much to write it. 
Disliking her didn’t stop you dedicating entire chapters to Edelgard and her laser-guided karma in Queen of Liberation, Reyna.
Clearly I underestimated my desire to 
make her suffer more
write this plot and all the thematic parallels within. Some readers felt that I was too harsh on Edelgard in The Savior King, 
GEE, YA THINK?
Time to show you folks what Reyna thinks is a fair portrayal of Edelgard.
But as a warning, some of this shit gets pretty brutal and if you don’t want to see Edelgard’s in-depth, lovingly-described suffering, scroll down a bit.
Tumblr media
That’s one of the Ten Elites calling her a fool. Yeah the Ten Elites are in Queen of Liberation btw, can’t have a Battle Shounen without a recurring miniboss squad!
Tumblr media
Ditto.
Also none of the Ten Elites would call Seiros a hero. They didn’t even know why she was fighting them!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here’s Edelgard getting bricks tossed at her by rioting citizens, and of course all she can do to restore order is scream “I’m your emperor >:(” at them.
Tumblr media
With an added helping of the same rioting citizens telling Edelgard how fuckin’ amazing Claude and Dimitri are!
Tumblr media
Here’s Edelgard getting a brick dropped on her by the citizens of Enbarr while she’s getting epically pwned by Byleth’s god mode army at Enbarr. Because medieval peasants will just trust that the invading army has their back :)
Tumblr media
Here’s Edelgard getting PWNED by Failnaught so bad that metal bits get stuck in her eyes.
Tumblr media
~~Bonus round~~ The metal shards get healed permanently into her eye :)
You know whenever I feel like maybe I don’t portray Dimitri or Rhea as fairly as I could in On Black Wings, I can just remind myself I stick to them losing arguments or losing battles they canonically do lose. I don’t fucking torture them physically while I’m at it.
We’re not done yet!
Tumblr media
Of course Lysithea has to also pwn the fuck out of Edelgard, dropping an Abraxas bomb on her (who the fuck gets Lysithea to A faith?) and of course she had Thyrsus because this is a Battle Shounen fanfiction and as such the only way to make Lysithea look impressive is to have her use the Relic everyone staples onto her and have her drop TEH BIG MAGICZ.
Tumblr media
And of course, even the Agarthans have to get in on saying Edelgard’s a gigantic fuck up and Thales should’ve totally went with Claudlouch vi Yagami-Britannia instead.
...”Just as planned” is a short-lived catch phrase of Claude’s. I told you Queen of Liberation reads like a shounen.
Anyways, we’re not done yet.
Tumblr media
Here’s Myson planning to place Edelgard under mind-control once they take her back to Shambhala.
Tumblr media
And here’s Edelgard again being subjected to her childhood trauma by being shackled underground once again.
Tumblr media
Here’s random Agarthans insulting her as though she’s not around. One of the random Agarthans is named Matt.
MATT.
M A T T.
Tumblr media
Oh but of course Thales has only praise for god-mode Claude:
“There were other factors involved, of course. That boy Riegan... Solon had spoken a number of times about inviting him into the truth, yet in the end he found it all by himself. From what I've learned from our spies that were able to get close to him from time to time, he created this Alliance, he planned the attacks and counterattacks...he knew about our partnership with her before he even knew it was her behind the mask; not by yet another act of stupidity on her part, but solely through guile and extrapolating from what little that deserter was able to tell him.”
Tumblr media
Here’s Odesse beating Edelgard.
Tumblr media
Here’s Odesse beating Edelgard again, and also calling her such lovely gender-charged insults: “Bitch, useless bitch, pig, inbred cretin”.
In German.
Yes, German is used for the Agarthan language in Queen of Liberation.
You see, the Agarthans may all have Greek-originated names, named their tools after Greek figures, and use Cyrillic, a script derived from Greek script, but eh, what’s the difference, when you get right down to it, they’re both from Europe!
This isn’t even the worst case of Reyna carelessly using one language or culture as a replacement for another: she has Japanese serve as the language of the very obviously middle-eastern inspired Almyra.
The fic that’s supposed to be about racism being bad has racist elements in its narrative, how ironic.
Anyways, back to Reyna’s treatment of Edelgard.
Tumblr media
Here’s Edelgard realizing she was a foolish foolish girl and being told what by some rando Agarthan kid.
And to top it all off, Thales turns her into the Hegemon Husk and she’s summarily dispatched without much fanfare like a Monster of the Week.
And to finish it up (though there’s plenty more I could share), here’s Edelgard having a Villainous Breakdown because zomgCLAUDHLID!!! beat her:
Tumblr media
As I (paraphrased) put it in a comment,
That’s not Edelgard. That’s Dimitri playing the role of Edelgard and constantly breaking character.
Content warning ends here!
and while I still feel her portrayal is grounded largely in canon
You had Edelgard behave like an idiot who derided Dimitri as a worthless madman and scorned Claude for being mixed race. The only semblance of Edelgard’s pre-existing character in the sad caricature you crafted for Queen of Liberation was that she waged war on the church.
But yeah, this creature isn’t Edelgard. At least not the Edelgard from Three Houses. It’s the one Reyna wanted to fight, a foolish would-be tyrant duped into war on behalf of the Agarthans who then folds and fails like all the red emperors to come before her. A fool who has a breakdown and is punished for the things she did so that Reyna could feel oh-so-superior for having bested her.
Edelgard is not the strawman you crafted for your fanfiction, Reyna. She’s a compassionate revolutionary who makes the hard decision nobody else is willing to make. Graceful and strong, capable of out-planning Claude (recall that in the actual Three Houses, the real Claude, who can lose things, admits that Edelgard was fooling everyone) and beating Dimitri in a fight. And in the end, she’s poised and accepting in defeat.
Reyna doesn’t want that Edelgard. Much like most of Edelgard’s detractors, Reyna doesn’t like the Edelgard that actually exists in Three Houses. She wanted the strawman she could beat and feel good about beating, so she crafted this sad creature for her fanfiction and tried to pass it off as the original. And then, for all that she said she felt bad for having put her through torture at the end, she still did it. With loving detail, with determined consistency, and with zero mercy she heaps just about every indignity and torment one can imagine upon this fictional character. And why? 
It’s fairly normal for a villain to undergo some suffering and breakdown once their karma houdini warranty expires, but I’ve never seen such karma run for so consistent a length, nor go so far, as to compare to what Reyna does to Edelgard. She could also have done it to express why she thinks Edelgard will fail in Crimson Flower - which would likely to be actual excuse if asked - except if that’s all she wanted she could have had Thales express how doomed Edelgard was to the heroes instead - as a way to puff himself up, for example. But no, Reyna wants it all expressed to Edelgard’s face, to punish her and put her in her place.
You don’t write torture in the vivid detail Reyna did out of obligation, folks.
This story will be quite different in that regard, as you can probably guess by the premise!
Really? So far it feels like much of the same, only instead of other people calling Edelgard a stupid failure, this time she’s doing it to herself.
I really wanted to like Edelgard. She makes me sad as much as angry because she's so close to being a really good complex character, but the writing really fell down on her parts. 
Might’ve helped if you actually understood anything about her and didn’t try to simplify her into a tyrannical racist who just wanted power.
I guess a part of me really wanted to give her a chance to be that character, and develop into something more.
Oh boy, can’t wait to see what Reyna’s ideal Edelgard is. It sure won’t involve cunning or guile, given her standard method of making a character look smart is to beam knowledge into their heads or provide them an OC to give them information they wouldn’t otherwise have, and she writes her fight scenes like something out of a Battle Shounen.
There will only be minimum references to The Savior King and the events thereof, and they'll be fairly spread out.
Please let that be true.
As a final note, here’s some choice excerpts from the comments:
I feel like I should reiterate that I think that Edelgard had immense potential to be a very complex and very interesting figure
“So I simplified her and made her a stupid villain.”
but that potential got lost in how selfish and self-serving she is in the games proper. 
As I put it in a tweet that surprisingly blew up:
Imagine taking Edelgard, who only wanted a normal life but instead dedicated the entire rest of it in painstaking  service to the people of Fodlan, who honestly believed her path would end with her alone and maybe even hated by all, and saying she's SELFISH. Good god.
Anyways,
Her backstory is very tragic, and with a little tweaking in regards to the Seven's role in it - emphasizing religious zealotry on their part, have the Agarthans step back to let the nobles seem like the instigators - would have made it perfect.
Reyna thinks Edelgard was unjustified to target the church, so that’s another thing she didn’t understand about Three Houses.
Edelgard targeted the church because the church upholds Fodlan’s obsession with Crests, which was the root of her and many others’ suffering.
I will go to my grave insisting that Edelgard could have been a great character. 
She is, stay mad.
I still dislike her portrayal in the games and very much dislike how Three Houses and especially Three Hopes coddle her and refuse to let anyone criticize her meaningfully
That’s because it’s never in doubt that she’s right about Fodlan’s broken status. The only thing that’s ever in question is her methods.
And here we go with the usual “nobody says she’s bad to her face enough times!”
They almost certainly were!; though I think Arvis was a better realized character than Edelgard in the games proper.
I swear, Edelgard haters insisting that Arvis was so great has made me like him less. I mean, in the end he was just a man with a complex over having lost his mother and really just killed Sigurd out of petty romantic jealousy. His big plan to reform the land has few details beyond, “I will be a better king than the past one” and, unlike Edelgard, he was genuinely being used by his dark mage allies. Also, there should be no situation that sees Arvis involved in any of these events as he never goes anywhere near Thracia.
Lastly, from someone who isn’t Reyna:
The bad thing about this (for Edelgard) is that she just literally ended up in fire emblem HELL. I've played every single FE game, and short of Fates: Lunatic Conquest, with no DLC to boost your exp. This world right here, is the absolutely most horrifyingly painful one to survive in.
Thracia is definitely gonna be a hell of a culture shock for her.
Does this person think Edelgard is unfamiliar with suffering?
Uhh, so yeah. That was bad! I’m just going to take this as a prelude to what the entire rest of the fic will be about: Edelgard hating her past actions, regarding herself as a failure and a pawn, and learning to embrace True Justice by basically learning she should have done things the Dimifan Headcanon way by embracing God and giving to the needy without disrupting anyone’s lives too much. We might even get to see some more abuse heading her way if Trevant, Manfroy, Veld, or Raydrik get their hands on her. I’ll consider it a home run if Reyna somehow fucks up Leif while she’s at it, and considering her earnest love for god mode protags that don’t screw up unless it’s dramatic and said screwing up doesn’t take too long to get undone, she probably will.
It’ll be terrible. And we’ll go through all of it :)

Tumblr media
Cpatain Rex, as well as three of his troops, had been the ones, to escort, Lovisa, Anakin and Ahsoka back to the palace, he also returned each of their items, to the teenagers.
"Had one of my troopers locate it all, after Lady Tano expressed how important it was, that they were all returned" Rex gulped, side eyeing the small girl, who smiled gratefully, at him, as she held her twin swords, in her hands.
"Thank God, if I told Obi-Wan that I'd lost another one, he'd kill me" Anakin let go a breath of relief, as he held his own sword, in its sheath.
When they had got out of the carriage, after the long journey, from Coruscant, back to the palace, one person in particular had hurtled themselves forward, in excitement.
"My girls!" Colo grinned, as he brought Lovisa and Ahsoka into a tight hug, lifting them both up, effortlessly.
"Colo!" They cheered.
“Who are these fellows?” He asked, looking down at the puppies as he took turns petting their heads, who were sat by each girls feet, wearing their leashes.
“Seven, and Threepio.” Ahsoka grinned “They’re ours!”
"Princess, my, my, this is a look" He teased, taking a step back, and holding Lovisa's hand, as he examined her outfit, after realising what she was wearing, after taking his focus off of the pups. "But as always, you make it work" He then kissed the back of her hand.
“Stop it, you scoundrel.” Lovisa rolled her eyes, with a smile.
Anakin was working overtime, to keep himself rooted in place, but he would be a liar, if he said he didn't want to smack the shit out of the man. Though, he might break a tooth, by how hard he was clenching his jaw, and he didn’t imagine he looked the least intimidating, with his own adorable puppy, in his hands.
"Your parents are in the throne room, waiting for you, so is Mala, and Master Kenobi" Colo shared, glancing at Anakin. "Skywalker, heard you got yourself into some trouble with the Count."
"I'm surprised doormen like you, hear about those sort of things."
"Doorman? I'm no doorman" Colo took a step toward him.
"Colo, why don't you walk with me, inside, considering I no longer have a royal guard." Lovisa grabbed hold of his arm, pulling him towards the Palace, and away from the Jedi.
She looked over her shoulder, shooting an unimpressed glare at Anakin, who looked just as shocked and annoyed that she "picked the other guy"
Lovisa stood in front of the closed door, that led to the throne room.
Ahsoka and Anakin had joined her, eventually, as all three of them had been requested.
"We're dead." Anakin breathed.
"We're going to get fired, and then thrown into a cell." Ahsoka sighed.
"I have a plan." Lovisa told them.
"Care to share, Princess?" Colo asked, leaning on the wall, in front of them.
"They don't know, that I know." Lovisa replied.
"That's the big plan?" Ahsoka gasped, as her and Anakin nearly snapped their necks, to look at her.
"Hopefully, they don't know that I know. Colo, the door."
"I thought you weren't a doorman." Anakin scoffed.
Colo grumbled some unkind words, under his breath as he opened the door.
"Lovisa Satine Amidala, Princess of Naboo." Colo announced, as Lovisa walked into the room, And so did Ahsoka and Anakin.
"Mother, Father, lovely of you to sit upon your thrones, instead of greeting me." Lovisa looked at her parents, as she continued to walk closer, and they had both shot to their feet, at the sight of her.
Obi-Wan, as well as the queen's handmaiden, were stood on either side, with much distance, as they stared at their own charges.
Obi-Wans arms were crossed, as he tapped his feet, causing Anakin to scratch the back of his neck, avoiding eye contact.
"Lovey!" Queen Jobals voice rang with anger, "What on earth are you wearing?"
"Oh, well, y'know, this was one of my favourite pieces, but I had no idea that being kidnapped, chased and thrown into a pit of death, and going on to fight in a battle, would be so messy, if I had a headsup-"
"Enough!" King Ruwee cut her off.
"But-"
"No!" He held up his hand. "Ahsoka, why did my daughter end up in Geonosis?"
Ahsoka gulped, as she ran her sweaty palms down her skirt, looking around the room, nervously.
"We were captured, Your highness." She curtsied, bowing her head.
"And how were you captured, and yet Padme was not?" Jobal asked, suspiciously. “When you both were supposed to stay in the castle, together?”
As though she were summoned, Padme bounded into the room, her eyes set on her sister.
"Lovey, you're home, and alive!" Padme gushed.
"Well, Mother, if you must know, I ran away." Lovisa answered, ignoring her sister. "It was foolish, I admit, but after what I had discovered, I felt betrayed, and angry, so I left, wanting to be away from my title, and my responsibilities, but, if it were not for Padawan Skywalker, and Ahsoka, coming after me, I would have died out there, before I was even captured, and taken to Count Dooku. But finding out that I would be the sole heir of the throne, I wasn't thinking, I was clouded with my emotions, knowing that my own sister and parents had lied and kept this secret from me."
"You know?" Ruwee's eyes had gone wide, as he stared at his wife.
"Padme, did you tell her?!" Jobal asked.
"Yes, mother, but I had no idea that Rush was going to propose, and she kept asking questions. I had no choice but to." Padme bowed her head in shame.
"Darling, you must know, we had a plan, we were going to make it special, when we broke the news to you, but your sister-"
"Lovey, we are sorry we kept this from you." Ruwee walked down the steps, from the platform, which their thrones were on, pulling his youngest daughter into a hug.
Lovisa hugged her father, as she looked over his shoulder, at Anakin, sending him a wink, she had managed to get them out of the clear.
"You're codling her, Rue." Jobal hissed.
Ruwee pulled away, moving to stand behind his daughter, his hands on her shoulders.
"I'm not coddling her, Jo." He sighed, "We did something, and it upset her feelings."
"She became the thing she was born for, and she acted out, and you are apologising for it!" Jobal gestured to the girl.
"Well, if Padme hadn't told Lovey-"
"Father! You're blaming me? It's not my fault Rush decided to propose to me!" Padme accused.
"Your daughter started a war, Rue, she needs to take responsibility for her actions."
"So what do you suggest? Hm.. we just send her off to the front lines? Let her fight it on her own? She's my little girl, Jo."
"She's Nineteen! I was pregnant with Padme, at her age! Both our daughters are unwed, we have no other heirs after them, because of you, Rue. Padme, you will become a Senator, and will marry Rush, Lovisa, you will become the sole heir, and you will find a husband! And, you will be joining your father, again, on his duties, considering you think you can get into adults business, you will act like it, you will help your father, throughout this war, fix the mess that you have made, and you both will give me grandchildren. Now get cleaned up, we are having Lunch!" Jobal ordered, before storming out of the room, before quickly popping her head in. "Oh, Master Kenobi, and Padawan Skywalker, you are welcome to join us, and please, feel in no hurry to return back to Coruscant, you are welcome to stay for as long as you need." She smiled at the two men, dipping out of the door, once more.
"Dad! I am not-" Lovisa whipped round, but her father held up a hand to her.
"Darling, she can still hear you, what's done is done, I'm sorry." Ruwee bowed his head in failure.
"I hope you're happy Pad, your punishment, was getting what you want, and ruining my life, congratulations on that uhappy ever after, and stealing mine." Lovisa sniffed, following after her mother, out of the room, and towards her own, to get washed and dressed, for the lunch her mother would force her to, by the ear, if she refused to attend.

Ancestral 9
“So.  Aconite?” asked Danny during a lull in the stream of treatments and tests.  “Isn’t that wolfsbane?”
"Yes," said the doctor, looking rather nervously at Matthew.  
At least, Danny thought she was looking at Matthew.  His vision was still kind of blurry, a reasonable side-effect of having poison splashed into them.  She could have been looking at the family in general, all of whom were squeezed into the room.  Apparently, as long as they stayed out of the way of the doctors, it was best for security purposes to have them all together.
“Both the tests on what was recovered from you and what was recovered from the cup indicate that the wine was dosed with massive amounts of aconite, and your symptoms match.  It’s a very, hm, traditional poison, so treatment is well known.  We’re monitoring both your blood pressure and your heart rate, and you’ve been given an activated charcoal treatment and atropine.”  She paused.  “You seem to be recovering, although your heart rate is still much lower than we’d like.  I’m actually surprised you’re still conscious…”
“That’s normal for Danny, now,” said Jack.  “Well, maybe not this low, but his heartbeat is pretty slow all the time, now.”
“It isn’t in his medical records,” said the doctor.
“Had him checked back in the US.  I guess it never made it here.”
“We had other concerns at the time, Jack,” said Maddie from where she was sitting in a chair next to Danny’s bed.
Oh, yeah, Danny had the impression he was missing a metric ton of significant looks.  
“Well,” said Danny, “I feel… not great, but okay?  Like, my skin is still pretty numb, kind of like when you get an anesthetic from the dentist.”
There were, however, significant looks that Danny wasn’t missing.  Apparently, he wasn’t seeing the ghosts with his physical eyes, but with something else, because they stood out sharply from their blurry surroundings.  Right now, they were looking at him like Jazz did, when he said he wasn’t hurt after a fight.  
Really, he was fine.  Spooked, but fine.  
(In some ways, it was sort of a relief to know that he was human enough to be affected by poison.  Being half dead had a tendency to make you hyper aware of your own mortality and dubious of it at the same time.)
“But, back to it being wolfsbane.  Why wolfsbane?  You’d have found that if that was why everyone else…  I mean, they don’t think you’re a werewolf or something, do they?  Is that a thing?”
Matthew sighed.  “No, I’m not a werewolf.”  Another sigh.  “Unfortunately.  I’d love to only have to worry about wolfsbane and silver”
“No, that’s not what’s going on,” said Maddie.
“So what is going on?  I think I deserve to know, having been almost killed and all.  Are you going to try again with the coronation?  And- And has anyone found Vivian yet?”  He tried to send an apologetic expression Vivian’s way, for using her as a conversation pivot.
“Doctor Hys,” said Matthew.  “This discussion is about to touch on both family matters and those of state, so if you can continue your monitoring else where…?”
“Of course, your highness.  May God and the ancestors bless you.”  Danny saw the door, briefly, as a rectangle of slightly dimmer light, and then the doctor closed it behind herself, and the family was alone.  
“The Assembly is discussing regency,” said Joanna.  
“Which they really should have since the beginning,” added Eugene.
Danny wasn’t so sure of that.  He wasn’t clear on all the details, but regents had fewer powers than a sitting monarch.  They couldn’t change throne policies - like the one about approval of foreign businesses, Danny realized - or appoint new Secretaries - which would leave the Speaker hearing spy reports.  Great-Grandma Rose had been Alfred’s King’s Secretary.
Other countries would probably have a conniption about the conflict of interest.
“It makes more sense than declaring one of us king or queen without the trials,” agreed Joanna.  “They were set on it, but now they think the poisoning is a… bad omen.”  There was a guilty sort of satisfaction in her tone.  
Maddie scoffed.  “Can you not?” she asked.  “Here, with my son seriously injured, can we discuss this like rational human beings who live in this century?”
“If we were dealing with rational human beings,” said Irene, “we would.  But a person willing to commit so many murders isn’t rational.  Nor are… humans in general.”
“Mom,” said George.  
“I want to know about Vivian as well,” said Jazz.  “There has to be something about where she went.”
“The investigation there is ongoing,” said Matthew.  “For the rest of Danny’s questions… To start at the beginning, you wouldn’t know this, but in the very distant past, there was a legend that members of the royal family with the favor of the spirits and the ancestors were immune to wolfsbane poisoning.  So, of course, any member of the royal family who was successfully poisoned didn’t have their favor.”  His blurry form made a shrugging motion.  “It’s been discredited nearly that long - there were herbalists back then who were occasionally able to use belladona to counter some of the effects of aconite poisoning - but that particular method of assassination has become traditional for signaling certain grievances.”
“Did Lord Kyppe have those grievances?” asked Iris, darkly.  
“He’s maintaining that he had no idea.  Which, considering his position, is very nearly as bad,” said Matthew.  “Even if he turns out to be innocent, the traditionalist faction will be out for his blood.”
“Ha!” exclaimed Jack.  “Forget them!  Maddie and I are out for his blood!”
“We’ll keep that in mind,” said Matthew, dryly.  “And, then… You are right that we’d be able to tell if- if everyone else died of aconite poisoning.  It decays quickly, but not that quickly.”  He shook his head.  “We–”
He was interrupted by a phone ringtone, a high-pitched electronic version of the Avlynyse national anthem.  
“Hello?” answered Sophia tremulously.  There was some shifting as she moved through the room.  “Alright,” she said, voice already cracked and tearful.  “I’m sitting down.”  There was a beat, and then Sophia made a high, keening sound.  
“Mom?  What-  What’s wrong?”
Another phone started to ring (still with the national anthem, but a slightly more traditional version), and Matthew swore.  “What?” he snapped.  “Oh, God.  Are you sure it’s her?  Yes.  Yes.  We’ll make the announcement… shortly.”  Matthew took a deep breath and closed his phone with a snap.  “They found Vivian’s body.”  
There was quiet.  Danny was sure everyone had already at least suspected that Vivian was dead.  Having it confirmed was something different.  
“Oh,” said Leo, weakly.  “Oh.  Do they… do they know how…?”
“You don’t want to–” started Matthew.  
“She’s my sister.”
Matthew exhaled slowly.  “She was beaten to death.  They stole her Key and the Lesser Seal.”  He inhaled again, loud enough to be heard.  “We’re going to need to make a public statement.  And–”  His phone tweedled.  “And the Assembly wants to have a special session to hash out a regency decision, and–” another tweedle, “and, ancestors.”  More tweedles.  “It’s going to be never ending.  My family is dying, and–”  He fell silent.  
“Matthew?” asked Irene from the same general area Sophia was in.  Were they hugging?  Maybe?  “What’s wrong?”
“Investigation just found that someone replaced the contents of Grandma’s capsule pills with nitroglycerin,” said Matthew, tersely.  “Matches with her symptoms… heart stopped, but not the other signs of anaphylaxis, darn it.”
“That’s… three different causes of death, isn’t it?” asked Jazz, thinly.  “Four different methods, if you count the wolfsbane.  That’s unusual, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know,” said Matthew.  “It could be six, for all I–  Nevermind that.  We need to get back to Kyr Argyn, for the special session, and ‘figure out what the future will look like.’”
“We who?” asked George.  
“Adults,” said Matthew.  “Anyone eligible for regency.”
“Not me, then,” said Eugene.  
“You, too,” said Matthew.  “Just because some idiots in the newspapers called you a bastard a few times doesn’t mean you aren’t perfectly legitimate, legally speaking.”  
“Wait, what do you mean I’m legitimate?  I thought–”
“You can’t expect me to leave Danny,” interrupted Maddie.  “He was just poisoned.”
“Legally, everyone currently in the country–”
“I can stay, Mads,” said Jack.  “Me’n Jazz’ll hold down the fort with Danny here.”
“We really do need you to come,” said Matthew.
“Fine,” said Maddie.  “Danny, I–”
“It’s okay, Mom.  I’ll be fine.  I am fine.”  
Maddie patted his hand.  “We’ll have to disagree on that.  Jazz, if you notice anything unusual, let your father and the doctors know right away.  And– Who from security will be staying with them?”
Matthew rattled off a list of names that Danny instantly forgot.  
“Right,” said Maddie.  “Let them know, too.  Danny, just… try to be safe.”
Well.  Ouch.  Danny would have everyone know that he always tried to be safe.  And careful.  And a lot of other things.
It took a few most of a half an hour for everyone to move out.  Apparently they had to coordinate with the security team, get everything lined up beforehand, etcetera.  
“I think,” said Danny, “that I’m in shock.  Emotionally speaking.”
“That makes all of us,” said Jazz.
.
Jazz couldn't give him the kit until they were alone and Jack had dozed off.  
"Security took me back to the house to get some of your clothes and things.  You're going to have to help me, though.  I don't know what's best for poisoning."
Neither did Danny, really.  Surprisingly, poison, contact or otherwise, wasn't something he had to deal with all that often.  Except for blood blossoms… and whatever was in Vlad’s stupid knockout gas, and those spiders that one time… did Spectra’s weird ghost mosquitoes count as poison?
Next chance they got, Team Phantom would have to look into poison remedies.  
“Energy tablet for now,” said Danny.  “Then, um.  The little jar of eyewash.”  The eyewash was a dilute solution of ectoplasm and salt, usually used for eye injuries, or the irritation that he sometimes got from his eyes deciding to be flashlights, but it could help. It’d be nice to be able to focus his eyes again.
Jazz passed over the tablets almost immediately.  The eyewash, however…
Danny sniffed at the jar.  “This isn’t the eyewash.”  It was, in fact, the blood blossom cream.  After a few additional natural portal related journeys, Danny had found that while just being near blood blossoms in ghost form was agony, touching them in human form gave him a nasty, itching rash.  And hives.  And… And there was a thought there, but it wouldn’t come loose.  
“It’s the only jar you have,” said Jazz.  
Danny frowned.  “Oh,” he said.  “I might have…  Not brought the eyewash, I guess.”
“Why?”
“It’s liquid.  You’re not supposed to bring liquids on planes.”
“We had a private charter flight.”
“I didn’t know that when I packed.”  He handed the cream back to her and chewed on the energy tablet.  Ecto-dejecto and weird dehydrated orange juice powder.  Yum.  
Not.  
“I brought something else as well,” said Jazz, pulling something small and square from her purse and unfolding it.  
Danny squinted.  “Jazz,” he said, his whisper dripping with as much disappointment as he could squeeze in, “is that a ouija board?”
“I thought it could help with, you know.”  She leaned in, and if the only witness wasn’t dead asleep, she would have definitely given them away.  “With communicating with your invisible friends.”
“Can we not say things that make me sound crazy?” asked Danny.  “And I know you can’t be serious.  Ouija boards are trademarked by Hasbro.  Nothing trademarked by Hasbro can possibly be spiritual.”
“I don’t mean like that,” said Jazz.  “I mean, regardless of what it’s supposed to be used for, it’s still got the alphabet on it.  If the ghosts here can’t write anything out, they can at least point and you can read what they’re saying.”
Good idea, except… “I can barely see, Jazz.  Everything is little blobs of color.”
“Okay,” said Jazz, “but you can still see well enough to point where they’re pointing, right?”
“Well… yeah.  I can see them pretty well, actually.”
“Great,” said Jazz.  “Then, I’ll read off what you’re pointing at, okay?”
Danny looked up at Gwensyvyr, who shrugged, then nodded.  “Okay, yeah.”
“Then let’s start with Vivian–”
“She’s not here.”
“What?”  
“She went with Aunt Sophia and Lewis and Leo.”
“Oh.  Well.  That makes sense.  Who’s here, then?”
“Uh,” said Danny.  “A whole bunch of people.  And Gwensyvyr.”
Silence.  
“As in, the founder–” started Jazz.
“Of Avlynys Gwensyvyr?” they finished together.  
“Yeah, that Gwensyvyr,” said Danny.  
“Okay.  Um.  Nice to meet you…?”  Jazz paused for a long moment.  “This is really weird.  Did you see who tried to poison Matthew?”
Danny followed Gwensyvyr’s finger.  
“Hm,” said Jazz.  “That’s a yes.  Do you know their name?”
Gwensyvyr shifted.  
“No.  So.  That’s too bad.  Anyone else here know their name?”.
.
Matthew’s would-be poisoner, as it turned out, was a young, red-headed man with a press badge that said his name was Wallace Hadryn.  Right before the ceremony, he’d had a quick interview with the Cupbearer, and dropped two pills into the cup while distracting the Cupbearer ‘masterfully’ in the words of one of the ghosts.  
The pills had been red.  All but invisible against the dark wine.  They’d dissolved slowly, and the Cupbearer’s high-tech tests and traditional sip hadn’t affected him.  
“At least,” said Jazz, “not at the time.  I wonder if he might start feeling some symptoms anyway.”
Before that, none of the ghosts had been particularly paying attention to the young man, so they didn’t know who he’d talked to before, if anyone.  
As for who had killed the others…  The ghosts had no real idea.  They’d been repelled from the area, and had only seen ‘suspicious figures’ at a distance.  If that.  
That was bad.  It was very bad that whoever did this knew the ghosts were there and could get rid of them.  Or that whoever had killed them had coincidentally stumbled on something that could banish ghosts.  Even if they were weak ghosts.  
Gwensyvyr had suspicions, though.
There have always been those who seek to tear power from this land and all kinds of people leave ghosts, Gwensyvyr had picked out, letter by letter.  I fear this is a plan long brewed.  We have been growing weaker for some time, even before your grandfather’s death.  Cut off from allies.  Many of my kin have only woken for this latest tragedy, and will sleep again, perhaps forever, and some sleep still.  No hope for the future.  
At least, that's what Danny and Jazz had eventually puzzled out.  Wonderful their ancestor might be, it was clear she'd never practiced the art of spelling.  In any language.  
“You think the ones doing this are ghosts?” asked Danny.  
Perhaps.  Or they are guided by ghosts.  Look to the death of your grandfather, of your grandmother.  Look at those who preach progress and stability, but only think of paper gold.  She bared her teeth.  Look at their corporations and businesses.  These worms in the Assembly.  I call especially for you to look on Julius Skippa.  His father brought in that vile construction business.
“But why would they do it?” asked Jazz.  “Apart from the usual mundane reasons, I mean.  It seems like all they’d have to do is wait.”
There are sacred things our family has long been charged with, older than this kingdom.  Things that have been desecrated and not restored.  Things that I may not speak of.  Your grandfather was the last to attempt the trials.  Vyvyan was preparing for them.  
“They would have noticed something,” said Danny.  “Or the trials would have fixed some of it.”
Gwensyvyr nodded and pointed at yes.  I think, too, that the monsters wish to return.  To take more than what they have taken already.  Thus the seal.  Thus the key.  Would that I were stronger!  I would tear them to shreds if they tried.  
“But Matthew wasn’t going to do the trials,” said Jazz.  “Not right away, at least, and with everything else, it would have been easy to distract him from ever taking them.”
But Mathyw denied them.  On the phone, and later, in the halls of Kyr Argyn.  And I am not certain sure that we face only one enemy.
A ghost phased through the wall and made gestures at Gwensyvyr, who nodded.  
Keep safe, little syvyrys.  The title - applied to both him and Jazz - made Danny blink, then flush.  His numbness must be getting better, for him to feel that.  With you here, there is hope for the future after all.  Then Gwensyvyr took a step back from the board and made a closing motion with her hand.  
Jazz hastily closed and put away the ouija board.  Just in time.  Matthew had returned.  
“Jazz, Danny, how are you?”
“Fine,” said Danny.  
“As well as can be expected,” said Jazz.
Matthew smiled tightly.  “Jack,” he said.  “Maddie wants to talk to you.  Jack!”  He nudged Jack’s shoulder.  
“Whazzat?”
“Maddie wants to talk to you.”
“Alright, then,” said Jack.  “Will you–”
“I’ll watch the kids, yes.”
“Okay!  Stay safe, kids!”
“That was fast,” commented Jazz.  
“It didn’t seem that way,” said Matthew.  “You two didn’t realize there were monitored security cameras in here, did you?”
Danny’s heart leapt into his throat.  From the way Jazz froze, he suspected hers had done the same.  
It made sense that there would be, of course.  In retrospect, security wouldn’t have left them alone like this otherwise, but that meant…
“How long,” asked Matthew, voice trembling with some emotion Danny couldn’t place, “have you been a syvyr?”

Word Count: 2.1k
Warnings:  rape, noncon relationship, mentions of violence, daggers, mentions of character death.
Tumblr media
“You’ll never see him again,” he moaned, his hips thrusting hard against her core.  Daemhyra sobbed, her arms pulling the ropes until they were rubbing her already raw wrists and ankles.  He groaned once more as he felt her getting wetter, “is the idea of me keeping that monster away from you getting you wet, princess? Is the thought of me emptying my royal seed into you turning you on, you whore?”
“Stop, Aegon.  Stop!” she begged; her attempts to fight him off for nothing while he continued to mock her, "p-please...I-"
"Shut up, whore!" he spat, his hand lashing out and catching her lip, "when I want you to open your mouth I should put my cock in it!"
“Now that my brother is leaving for Lord Borros’ territory….you and I have some unfinished business that we really must attend to. It's been far too long, and I've waited much longer than necessary,” he began, opening the door to his chambers.  Nearly half a dozen of the king’s guard filed into the room, making Daemhyra feel on edge, “Daemhyra…if you follow my orders, this will be very easy…get on the bed.”
“W-what is going on?”
“Your king commands you to get on the bed, whore!” one of the guards barked, causing her to jump.
Daemhyra looked at the guard, shocked to hear him speaking to her in such a manner.
“Get on the bed, Daemhyra.  Lay on your back.”
“You cannot force me, Aegon!” she growled. 
Aegon chuckled and snapped his fingers, causing the guards to fall into a cadence as they made their way towards her. 
“Let me go,” she begged as he emptied himself into her for the umpteenth time that night.  Her tears were slipping down her cheeks as she fought the ties which kept her in place,  “AEGON!  STOP!”
Her throat felt like it'd been rubbed raw with how much she'd begged him to stop already, but she continued on, her voice hoarse.
“I will go as long as I wish...and with you, my sweet, fertile whore...I feel as though I could go for days. Your pussy is so tight...did my brother really have that small a prick that he couldn't loosen your cunt? No worries cousin...I'll take my time and loosen you up with my royal cock,” he growled firmly as his hips stuttered to a finish, “oh, Daemhyra!”
His fingers trailed over her lip which had split, then up to her brow. He frowned.
He was gentle in the way his fingers danced over the bruise that had started to form over her brow, “they shouldn’t have struck you…that guard will pay for what he did to you. I can tell you that now, Daemhyra. I'll put his head on a pike for that.”
“Because only you can bruise me up, right, Aegon?” she taunted  tiredly. 
“You are my property, Daemhyra…”
“I am no such thing," she disagreed quickly, "I belong to Aemond. I am your brother’s wife.”
“And we’ve gone over how you are lucky in the fact that I will not simply force you to drink the tea, or cut his spawn from your stomach!” he growled in response, “be happy in the fact that I show you that kindness, Daemhyra.  You’ll have your reminder of your time with Aemond, and I will have you every night, as my second queen.  It all works out for the best.”
Daemhyra spat at him, “I will never be yours.”
“It has been two days since I wrote my treaty to Lord Borros,” he reminded her softly, “two evenings I have enjoyed the carnal nature of emptying myself into you.  Two nights since I made the priest complete the rites of the new gods and married us.  You may say that you are never going to be mine, but I’ve already had your body, Daemhyra.  I’ve already claimed your spirituality when I wed you.”
“You will never have my heart!”
Aegon chuckled, “I don’t need your heart to put a child into you once this one is born!  All I need is your pussy!”
“You are nothing but a spineless quim,” she retorted, spitting at him once more, “you’re no king.  You’re not even a man.  You’re just a spineless, scared little boy who stole his brother's wife, because he'll never be loved in the way that he was.”
He was quick to slap her.  Her head snapped against the pillows, “do not forget your place, Daemhyra.  You are not my first wife.  You will be my second.  Which means you should be grateful for every time I choose you to lay in my bed with me.”
“I am not a bed warmer, Aegon!”
“Oh, but you are. And you are also my wife now!” he growled, grabbing her jaw once more, “you are my bed warmer.  My whore.  My wife.  YOU ARE WHATEVER I SAY YOU ARE TO BE!  IF I WANT YOU BEGGING ON YOUR KNEES TO BE SUCKLING ON MY COCK YOU WILL DO SO!  DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!”
“Let.  Me.  Go!”
The rage that had filled him once more faded as he let go of her and rolled away from the bed, “I’m going to bathe myself…after that, I expect you to be on your knees.”
“The only way I will be on my knees is if you have cut off my head and I can no longer stand.”
“That would be far to easy, my unofficial, secret queen!” he taunted, walking towards the copper tub in nothing but his birthday suit.  He grabbed a simple tunic and threw it on before starting towards the door.  Opening it, he started addressing the guard, “find one of the chamber maids.  Alert them that my wife and myself would like a hot bath drawn.”
“I’m not going to bathe with you, Aegon!”
“You will do what I say,” he reminded her, “now…do you wish to lay naked, tied to the bed when the chamber maid comes in, or are you going to be civil?  Because if you can promise that you will be civil I will allow you to throw on one of my tunics for modesty’s purposes.”
She looked away from him, unwilling to answer.
“Well?”
“I do not wish to be exposed.”
“Good,” he nodded.  He reached towards the bedside stand and reached for a dagger.  Tucking it underneath the rope, Daemhyra didn’t move as he cut away the bondage and turned towards the closet once more to grab her a tunic, “all it takes is for you to-“
“Not another word!” Daemhyra uttered.
In the simple time that it had taken him to put the dagger back down and turn to grab a tunic, Daemhyra had grabbed it and was now pointing it towards Aegon.
“You would really kill your king?”
“You are not my king, Aegon!” she said firmly, “and I am no queen.  I am a warrior who was forced to marry a sniveling baby!”
“Be careful with your words,” he answered, “wife or not, if you cross some lines it could be considered treason!”
“Oh no, cousin,” Daemhyra replied, with a shake of her head, “you had your chance to kill me and you refused to take it…I know where your priorities lie...they lay with you and wetting your pathetic cock”
“What about Aemond?” he asked, knowing that it was a sore subject for her, “are you really going to leave him behind to run off to Dragonstone? I assume you're heading to Dragonstone to be protected by your father? He's the only one that is stupid enough to take you in once word is received around the realm that you are a traitor.”
"Go to hell..."
"You know, I should think that right about now, Aemond must have gone along with my letter and is promised to one of the lord's daughters," he taunted, "I think as though he might be relieved when he finds out just how much of a whore his wife was when she married me and took my cock for nearly a week before running away!"
“He made his choices, Aegon…and now I must make mine!”
He went to step forward, and she whipped the blade around, catching his arm and slicing it open.  Aegon wailed out in pain, and she whistled. 
Shaedowir appeared at the window, his large eyes looking into the chambers to see his rider in distress. 
“Stay!” she commanded, running towards the window as the guards flung the door open. 
“DON’T HURT HER!” Aegon commanded throughout his pain as she managed to make it out the window and onto her dragon’s back.
Daemhyra could make out the crown even before she had managed to land. 
Outside in the courtyard, she could see her birth mother staring at a pyre. 
Instinctively she felt her stomach turn. 
Someone was already dead. 
The people of Dragonstone looked up to the sky as she came into their line of vision.  Had she not had both Shaedowir and Wynstrun, she was sure that they would have attempted to shoot her down.  But her dragons made everyone aware of who the rider in the sky was as she started her descent. 
A shiver ran down her spine when she caught the sadness in everyone’s eyes as she slid off of Shadeowir’s back.   She’d reached for her satchel and held it close to herself, feeling for the two eggs that were warm. 
Her father stood stock still, not daring to step towards her. 
Even her grandmother, Rhaenys stood with her other granddaughters. 
But it was her birth mother who made the first move, running towards Daemhyra.
"My child!" She broke down into tears, sobbing as she wrapped her arms around her own first born, "oh Daemhyra...my child. You are alive!"
Daemhyra didn’t know how to react. 
She and her mother were never really close. 
But she could tell that she needed her.
"Wh-what's going on?" she asked gently, looking at the somber expressions of her family, "who is that pyre for? I do not see a body."
“Your brother, Lucerys, is dead, Daemhyra.”
The cement that felt like it was in the pit of her stomach suddenly disappeared as she pulled away to look at her mother, “Wh-what?  Lucerys is dead?”
“Prince Aemond and his dragon Vhagar killed him…just a few hours ago.  Vhagar swallowed him and Arrax whole,” she admitted, “Aemond killed your brother, Daemhyra.”
Her lips parted, and she didn't know what to say. Rhaenyra gave her a solemn, but relieved look as she took her hands in her own, "we have lost your brother...but I was worried when I received word from King's landing of your status. Rhaenys said you helped her escape, and I feared that your head might already be on a pike..."
"I-I'm not dead," she mutterred quickly, exposing the swell of her stomach and the eggs within the satchel that had been hidden beneath her thick winter cloak, "Aegon forced me to marry him...but I'm carrying Aemond's child...because he and I wed of the old rites...I-"
"You're carrying his spawn?" Jacerys scowled, glaring at his elder sister, "and you came here? To Dragonstone?"
"Jacery-"
Her younger brother unsheathed his sword, his nostrils flaring as his rage unwound. Off in the distance Daemhyra could hear his dragon bellowing, "cut the bastard from her belly and send it back to him in pieces...make an examp-"
"She is your sister!" Rhaenyra growled, immediately holding her daughter close to herself, "you will not harm any member of our family that is here."
"She let him fuck her!"
Daemon stepped forward, unsheathing his own sword, "put away your weapons, Jacerys...I will not tell you a second time. You will not raise a sword to my daughter."
"Please..." Daemhyra begged softly as she stepped out from her mother's shadow, "I have no ill will towards you Jacerys...I came to the one place that I know I can count on everyone."
"And what of your precious husband?" he growled, "the one that killed Luke?"
"As far as I'm concerned, he made his choice when he went to Lord Borros on Vhagar and he left me and our babe behind. Ancient rites or not...I have no husband now." she answered firmly, looking at her younger brother. When he didn't respond she turned towards her mother and father, giving them each a firm look, "tell me how I can help. We're going to destroy that usurper and everyone that stands in our way..."
Daemon nodded to his daughter, putting his sword up in the air, "all hail Queen Rhaenyra. The rightful queen of the realm!"
"All hail Queen Rhaenyra!" everyone chanted over the roaring pyre.

Inside Joke
Tumblr media
@deanobingo, @laurfilijames...Here it is, my mad crossover of several fandoms...
I am not even going to try to explain or apologise haha
Words: 1k
Pairing: Anders & OC & Lucifer Morningstar
Warnings: This will make no sense, I am afraid...(Depicted are The Silm/TAJ/Lucifer(TV)...so...)
Tumblr media
Imá had not chosen to end up in this particular bar—at least, she did not have the feeling that there had been any conscious decision-making.
She was beyond protesting and rebelling against the invisible hand that directed all her movements; she had made her peace with being an insignificant cog in the unfathomable machine that was, at best, some obscure destiny and, at worst, the random will of some uninterested and profoundly uncaring higher power.
“Not interested,” she hissed without looking up as the air around her was stirred by the discreet aroma of power and manliness.
As a neglectable servant of what modern humans might well have called a “deity”, Imá sensed the sublime thrumming along that foreign, fragile skin she wore as a disguise. Again, she was unsurprised—maybe this dump was a popular spot for minor supernatural or divine creatures that vacationed in this rancid, deplorable sphere of existence and nobody had bothered informing her, or that judge, jury, and executioner all rolled into one just thought it was funny to throw them together and watch them hiss at one another.
“Oh, come on, pretty.”
This time, Imá did lift her eyes; she scoffed as the vibrating power emanating from the pleasant-looking man beside her hit her square in the chest.
“Anders,” he introduced himself with a mellow smile that looked eerily familiar—she had conjured up the likes of him many a time before as a reward or a punishment for the deathless souls under her master’s care.
“Not interested,” she repeated adamantly and shook her head.
His next words—empty phrases of invitation—were delivered in a trembling voice that smacked of a startlingly unexpected flavour of divinity. “Norse?” she croaked and chuckled under her breath. “What is this? The cemetery of discarded beliefs?”
The man stared at her in disbelief; he seemed shockingly comfortable in his earthly shell of doomed flesh and the reassuring, soothing smile he was flashing her reminded her of the ancient warriors of old that had passed beyond the confines of her power upon laying down their laughably short lives.
Imá sighed wearily.
“Really?” she then exclaimed when Anders—far from taking the hint and seeking out a more gullible victim—slid closer to her as if he was attracted to the way the vestiges of her skills resonated with the trickery he was dispensing. “Leave me alone!”
Pulling herself up to her full height and throwing back the long, dark curls obscuring her pale face, she settled a cold, judgemental look on his bright, grinning face.
His eyes were the colour of a dream-sky and she was sure that his dense, honey-coloured curls would feel like silk under her numb fingers; there was something poetic and charming about him and—had she not served Irmo for half an eternity—she might even have been taken in by his suave aura.
“Don’t you like what you see?” he teased, spreading his strong arms wide to invite her slowly warming gaze.
“I know that you’ve chosen this body,” she purred, “and I wonder why you didn’t make yourself…taller.”
That finally made him flinch back and an expression of hurt crossed the endless firmament of his eyes; Imá forced her face to relax—she was not here to get into fights with beings that were not even part of her own mythology.
She was in enough trouble as it was, having shirked her duties to run away like a thief in the night.
“Did I hear someone call for a tall gent?”
“Eru save me,” Imá groaned as another man slid onto the barstool on the other side of her; she was essentially trapped between two imposters who could not take “no” for an answer. “What now? God save the queen—or is it a king now?—and all that, but please, I just want to have a drink in peace.”
“Lucifer,” the newcomer introduced himself, “Morningstar. How do you do?”
“Catholicism,” Imá moaned, “spicy.” Her words were dripping with sarcasm—Námo would have been proud of her—and her overly radiant, iridescent eyes rolled up in helpless annoyance. “You’re but ideas, and not very good ones to begin with, I’m sorry to say.”
“Bragi,” Lucifer greeted, sucking his teeth as if the mere name tasted sour on his tongue. “Picture meeting you here.”
“The literal devil,” Anders replied in the same tense tone, “how quaint.”
“Should I leave you two to it?” Imá asked and tried to slide off her stool as discreetly as possible.
Unfortunately, this made her catch a glimpse of the second person who had decided to harass her on that fateful night.
“Oh, nice touch with the freckles and all,” she praised jeeringly. “I am not sure if I didn’t prefer the version with the horns or that one time you were a tall lady.”
“That can be arranged,” Lucifer purred and leaned in closer to ask her what she truly desired in his most melting accents.
“I want…” Imá replied dazedly, “to be left to my own devices and not to be beleaguered by men with strange accents in bespoke suits. Who would willingly dress like that? Are the children of Men impressed by that kind of costume?”
Now, both drew back in shock.
“And enough with the voice tricks; I’ve worked under Irmo for a long time—I am intimately familiar with the seduction of words and the images some overpowered entity can conjure up in one’s mind. I’ve not become a torturer for my master’s brother because I am easily swayed by vain promises; you can keep your hallowed halls and your infamous hell.”
“Who are you?” Anders grunted, leaning against the counter in a show of relaxed interest that was belied by the intensity of his gaze and the twitching of his lips.
“Imá,” she introduced herself, “a chimera, a phantasm, a mere pipe dream…just like you.”
“We are a collective belief,” Lucifer protested. “At least, I am.”
“You’re still made up—and, believe me, this is not what dreams are made of!”
Taking advantage of their wordless shock, Imá finally managed to slip out of their grasp, shaking off the tendrils of their absurd magic and winked at them.
“See, it’s not so funny anymore if your victim is in on the joke, is it?” she laughed and disappeared into the night.

So, there we have it!

Starts with y/n's pov
"start getting ready” I hear my mom say from outside my door soon having her footsteps walk away. “I will” I said as I went to my closet and picked out my clothes. Tonight was the night I had a dinner party with ranboo, his family aka the host and other kingdoms from across the nations. Prince ranboo at that. We would always hang out and were pretty close with each out, practically inseparable. On the other hand, ranboos parents wished we were separated, ranboo’s parents never liked me since they saw me grow up and I didn't understand why but got over it after a while. 
end of y/n's pov
You finished buttoning your shirt and made your way out the door. You make your way to the front of your kingdom where both your parents can be seen in the ride waiting for you. Your mom motioned you in a rude manner with her hand to get in already so you complied and quickly got in sitting next to your father. “You better hope we aren't late because of you” your mom scoffed, giving you a stern look. All you could was awkwardly smile and nod your head, “it won't happen again” 
After what felt like hours you made it to the whole event. You watched out the vehicle's window ranboo with his parents there looking like he was greeting everyone with his parents. Your butler opened the vehicle's door, you and your family stepped outside and your mom and dad immediately made their way to ranboos parents. You followed behind staying behind your parents and noticed ranboo looking at you a bit red, thinking it was the heat since it was a bit hot. You just gave him a little wave. Soon enough everyone went inside making you and your parents separate as they went to go talk to other people and you just stood near the drinks. 
You were observing the crowd of people until you heard what sounded like a crash of glass making you turn your head. “WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU THAT YOU KEEP TREATING THEM LIKE SHIT BUT THEIR PARENTS LIKE GODS '' it was ranboo. You walked closer to the scene in the now completely silent ball room. You saw ranboo standing there with true anger in his eyes as his parents stood there shocked. By the looks of it he dropped his drink out of anger as well. Before his parents could react he ran out of the ballroom. Everything was silent for a few more seconds but you didn't care you walked right out that ballroom going to check on ranboo. 
You knew exactly where he went, the flower field, you and Ranboo always hung there and it was his favorite spot to be at. With your correct guess you saw ranboo standing there looking at the sky, “you ok?” By breaking the silence you scared ranboo a bit making him quickly turn his head, “oh, yeah” you walked up to him and stood next to him. “Thanks for protecting me” he was obvious he was talking about you during that fight so you felt honored, “it was nothing” he chuckled looking at you. You both looked at each other with the moon light shining on each other. “y/n..I like you..” ranboo said, looking at you with a sad nervous expression. 
You smiled in return and kissed him under the stars. Panicked but relieved in a way he kissed back. As you both parted lips still inches apart you mumbled, “i thought it was just me” before pacing your lips together once more.

Still more thoughts about Tears of the Kingdom (SPOILERS! like seriously. in this one)
I love this game
So much
I had to find a guy for a quest but was like
"Im going to check out this well first"
AND BOOM HE WAS THERE
Alao the brown breakable rock break with one hit, blue with two and black with three
Seemingly
Matches the bombs it takes to break them
Tulin, whose village is dying, watching me search for pretty clothing
"Link please my family is dying Link we have to go Link"
The frostbite set is stunning
Finally a hairdo that lets Link have long hair
I hate the Sages
Not really but my god did they make their AI absolute trash
Theyre always in the way except when you need them to solve a puzzle
And if you have more than one Avatar present good luck getting the one you need
I HATE THE WIND TEMPLE BOSS
Not as much as I hated Queen Gibdo but
Why was crossing a spider and scorpion necessary
"Brave Fledgling"  what if I cried
Tulin is so good
So is this making it canon that the time 10 000 years ago was still after every other game
I dont know the timeline is weird
But if there was both Zora and Rito at the time of Rauru
This is so confusing
Ive both heard and seen Rauru sacrifice himself multiple times now can these dead Sages give me new info
Zelda my beloved
Marry me please
Also so the only other Demon King we have ever had was Demise so is Ganondorf him or after him
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE HERE
The Sage calls Tulin "my brave fledgling"
Someone call me something so loving one day
Tulin is so excited to be a Sage
He is so happy to fight alongside Link
Hes so happy to save the world
I love him
What a boy
Boys will be boys is from now on only about Tulin
WAIT IS EVEN HE TALLER THAN LINK
Shortest Hylian
I got a third ring
Bring a gerudo bow to this boss fight if you can it makes life so much easier
I havent been to Death Mountain at all yet
Done all other Temples and fully mapped Hyrule before ever going near Gorons
The extra snow melted
TEBA GAVE TULIN THE GREAT EAGLE BOW
IM CRYING
REVALI IM SO PROUD OF OUR BOY *shakes the ghost of Revali*
PSSHHH YUNOBO LOOKS DUMB AS SHIT
I HATE HIM
Was already my least favorite in BOTW
But now he is a major asshole too
Fuck that
Bastard
Im not helping him
Im gonna go blow up his company
If this guy becomes a Sage I swear
I'll drown him in Death Mountain myself
The ember headdress is probably the best headpiece in the entire game
The Ember set is genuinely the best set
Its so pretty
Im gonna go see what these look like dyed
After that beating up Yunobo
But fashion comes first
IF YOU DYE THE EMBER HEADSET IT DYES LINKS HAIR
BLUE HAIR LINK
PINK HAIR LINK
BEST DAY EVER
THE SAME GOES FOR THE FROST OUTFIT
I love Cece
She is the only person matching my love of fashion in this game
I just realised why the evil Zelda is wearing Zonai clothes
Omg
Smart
Or maybe Im dumb
"Oh Yunobo was wearing a mask making him evil" no Yunobo is just like that
This sucks I hate everything to do with Death Mountain
Worst place
I have to use the machines AND GO TO THE DEPTHS??? NOOO
Nintendo you will be hearing from my lawyers
When I die Im going to ask Rauru wtf were the Zonai doing in the depths
No because if youre going to have a cutscene and then make a second cutscene three steps further just fucking make it one cutscene
Yunobo is a "young little rock"
Left that for now
Found Champions leathers
Found Royal Guard boots??
They were in the king's study
King's diary wasnt there so like is it canon Zelda was able to read it?
Misko was a good guy actually, hiding all these clothes for me
Me, in the depths: I wonder where this strange Sheikah tower leads
The Yiga hideout in Akkala:
The only ancient sheikah tech still working is Hateno Tech Lab travel point
I spent some time in the depths and FOUND THE ANCIENT CENTRAL MINE
Fought Kohga
GOT AUTOBUILD
Finally the shrine censor
And travel medallion? You treat me so well
Already had that prototype
ALSO GETTIN SENSOR+ IMMEDIATLY
Badass feeling
Omg Robbie's compendium database is so cute
Got all three upgrades immediatly
Fully stocked purah pad
WAIT THREE TRAVEL MEDALLIONS???
BASED
MY FAVORITE MONEY MAKER IS BACK
I like to kill the hebra great game because they drop gourmet and prime meat and cooking those and they sell for a good price
Horse and bullet time
Many coins
Zelda's memories are so sad
Been giving my friends a fashion show of my favorite clothing
I am again so gay for Sonia and Zelda
My god
ZELDA
BABYGIRL
ZELDA I FORBID THIS
ZELDA YOU YOU
ZELDA
ZELDA
NO NO NO NO NO DONT
MY DEAREST ZELDA
ZELDA
MY LOVE
I am sobbing crying screaming
Im so upset
Zelda being the light dragon is so unfair for her
She deserved happiness and freedom
Not losing her humanity and personhood
YOU CAN MAKE ELEMENTAL WHIPS
Kinky
I went into the strange thunder cloud
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
Why is it taking me into the depths
Not again
Alright Sage of Spirit
I'll make your mech suit for you
That took a while
But owl head statue
Mineru my beloved
Oh.my god this is hell
Worst part of this game so far
EASILY
DONT MAKE ME FUCKING CONTROL THIS WHEN THE CONTROLS ARE THE WORST THING EVER CONCIEVED
Im leaving this temple also undone I DONT CARE THIS FUCKING SUCKS
I hate it
Fuck this
Why do game devs come up with shitty awful bad as hell stuff to do in their games AND MAKE THAT MANDATORY
I just quit the game no lie
Fuck that
I did it and I was being dramatic, it wasnt that hard
Mineru is so goddamn gorgeous
They designed this game for me specifically
I should get back to drawing furries
Mineru holding my hand which is her brother's hand
Tears
Mineru I love her
I have not beaten Fire Temple yet
I just cant
Depths
Darkness and puzzles and fire
Also dont like Yunobo
I feel so bad for Mineru
Zelda :(
Why doesnt Link get a secret stone
RAURU WAS MINERU'S LITTLE BROTHER ::'ÖÖ
Where did Zelda's special stone come from when its a time stone and Ganon stole Sonia's time stone
Mineru I will not go get the Master Sword
Demon Ganon is hot idc
RAURU WHY WOULD YOU
Ganon: "Link. I look forward to meeting him" goes into slumber
Damn all of Rauru disintergrated but his hand
I have to find the light dragon
Eugh
The dragons dont have schedules in this apparently
Sadly
Mineru so was in love w Zelda
Everyone is putting too much weight on Link's shoulders
Fine I'll finish the fire temple
*2 hours later* I hate it here
I did scam those puzzles as much as I could
Worst puzzles
Worst boss too
Marbled gohma
Fucking awful
I nearly died about 11 times
Rip my food storages
I really need to cook more
Special stone for Yunobo booo
Little rock is adorable pet name tho
Ancestor Goron is fine af
WHY DOES NO ONE MENTION THE DIVINE BEASTS BUT YOU CAN FIND THE DIVINE BEAST HELMS AND NO ONE MENTIONS THE BEASTS
Ive heard this story four times now
Fucking hell cant we get anything new
Someone give me a 200k word fanfic where Ganon awakens but is not evil
I need Ganon Zelda Link friendship
End the cycle
Watching Brian David Gilbert and Unraveleds rn
LMAO YUNOBO'S SPECIAL STONE IS ON HIS DICK
We have established this is not a PG channel
Ok fine I like Yunobo
Daruk was better tho
Ive found most memories why cant I say anything to these people about thats not Zelda
I know Zelda is the light dragon
Running around Hyrule Castle for 'Zelda'
About to do bossfight w Ganon
Can I do a flurry rush? No
I just hit or die
Life is like that
No clever tactiques just caveman brain and trying
Evil "Zelda" is fun
Why is Ganon like one of those movie posters here
Why is he still not rehydrated
Ganon I have dick to suck hurry up
"You will not live to see another sunrise" Ganon the sun is rising rn
Woo Phantom Ganons
Fuck yeah
Lets see if I can kill them aka can I finally take on Gloom Hands (I wont)
Ganon's so arrogant
YAY MY FRIENDS ARE HERE
FUCK YEAH
I LOVE YOU ALL
MY SAGE BUDDIES
Not Lynels
Still the hardest enemy in game
Ok so if youve found Mineru and have the Master Sword already, the convo after the fake Ganon fight Purah goes "Youve already found the fifth sage? AND you have the master sword? Why didnt you say so before"
Usually youd get quests for those
It was funny
Why is the limit of horses I can have ten ::((
The Charged shirt is actually so so slutty I love it
IT GLOWS IN THUNDER STORMS
FUCK YEAH
So I finally cleared The Deku Tree's little stomach bug
And like it is so funny how easy the Gloom Hands and Phantom Ganon become when youre in late game
I was sweating about it and then it was so easy
And Im bad at combat
Ok not to brag but I killed a white lynel. First time ever. Also first time ever I killed a lynel without Urbosa's help

“and now, one more promise i’d like to make to you” he says and you raise your eyebrow. curious as to what exactly could he promising you. your freedom? too soon? “i won’t force you to ever warm my bed. that is until you will beg for me to have you”
it almost sounds like a challenge because you warming his bed? does he mean intimacy? you’re not completely sure but you’re glad he at least knows what consent is considering he hasn’t cared about your consent until now. but begging? you?
you nod your head and give him a small smile. the rest of the day was easy after that. you both still continued to sleep in separate rooms but you were barely getting any sleep nowadays. the truth is, you kept having nightmares about your father’s disappointment in you.
you, who married his killer.
you, who gave up fighting and stayed.
you, who married the monster.
you, who shows him compassion when he isn’t compassionate himself.
he would berate you in your dreams and you’d feel awful. you would wake up in tears whispering “i’m sorry” over and over. the lack of sleep was evident on your face and when jungkook finally got to see you after having such a busy schedule, he was very concerned.
bags under your eyes (you haven’t been sleeping), tears staining your flush cheeks (you’ve been crying), your face blotchy (this has been happening for a while), and your body worn (you’re exhausted).
he came to see you on your first official day of being a queen and from what he’s seeing, everyone is running to you with all kinds of information and you’re barely keeping up. no one bothers to ask if you’re okay, just stacking it all on you.
“move quickly, queen y/n! you’re moving too slow”
“ugh, do you even know what you’re doing?”
“great, now the king is going to be upset”
“you can’t do anything right”
“were you even studying? this is easy, queen y/n”
you’re trying, you really are. and when it becomes to much, you snap. “I CAN’T DO THIS!! please, just leave me alone!!” you cry out before running through the council, past jungkook, and back to her bedroom.
jungkook is angry, no, he’s LIVID. not only did he watch everyone insult you but they didn’t even bother to ask whether you in a well enough condition to tend to your duties.
after jungkook is finished cursing everyone out, he knocks gently on the door before entering. he hears your sniffles and the sight is disheartening.
there you are, face down in the pillows crying your head off. “j-jungkook?” you sit up and your face is covered in wet tears. you’re hyperventilating but it’s also the first time you’ve ever called him by his name.
“i…i…i k-keep h-having n-nightmares! he keeps saying it’s my fault! m-my dad. i..i feel so bad. i should’ve fought harder. i can’t s-sleep and i’m-i’m so tired. i just want to s-sleep. pl-please i need you. please don’t leave me here by myself. please stay with me”
Jungkook doesn’t hesitate to pull you into his arms, and he hugs your shaking body, caressing your hair. Mumbling sweet nothings into your ear.
He would deal with those servants later.
“Baby calm down.. oh my God you’re burning.” as soon as your body comes in contact with his, he notices your burning temperature.
“Shh you’ve got to calm down… your father does not exist anymore.. and what happened to him is not your fault. It was never your fault… it’s all just nightmares… baby come on sit down.”
After holding you, for a few minutes, he sits you down, doing the same for him onto your bed, and he grabs your face gently, “do you know that it’s been so many years since my father has left this world, but he still- I still get nightmares about him… he tells me in my nightmares that I should’ve never existed or that youll never love me… o-or how it’s my fault that my mother is dead..”
“I understand you my love.. I really do I’m not trying to make this about myself, but you’re not alone.”
Jungkook presses a gentle kiss on your cheek. Holding so tenderly against him….
