Imagine being Shuri's older sister and Namor asking you to marry him

Warning: Spoilers for Wakanda Forever

The first time you saw him you swore that you were hallucinating from ocean water poisoning or something. If that was even a thing you had fell asleep on one of the more isolated beaches in Wakanda, after spending the entire day. Learning how to better wield your elemental powers and when night fell. You were way too tired to trek back home plus it was nice to just sit and really enjoy nature. Before you knew it you were gone in deep slumber, but sometime in the middle of the night. The sound of waves crashing up against each other as if the ocean was raging a war against itself woke you. And when your eyes opened to the night sky there was a figure hovering above you masked by the night.

That made you come to your senses pretty quickly, and you sat up rubbing your eyes. But the figure was gone when you checked back to see what or who it was. So you kept the encounter to yourself thinking no one would believe you. Besides your country had more important things to worry about like the increasing attacks on the Wakandan Outreach centers. The last thing your mother needed was to believe her eldest daughter was losing her mind. She would probably think it was your way of trying to deal with T'Challa's death. While you hadn't locked yourself away in your room, or thrown yourself into work. Like your little sister Shuri had spent the past year doing doesn't mean you were faring any better than her. You spent most of your days either on that same beach, or out in the wild connecting with nature.

It wasn't just about learning control over your newfound abilities that didn't surface until. After the Battle of Thanos, but it was also your way of feeling T'Challa's presence. He was the only one who know about your powers, because you didn't know who else to turn to. When a mission with the War-dogs went wrong, and finding yourself cornered without a weapon. Something in you was awakened and next thing you knew the area surrounding you was on fire. You called out to the flames pleading for them to disappear, before the forest was completely burned down. And just like that the fire went away confirming that it was your doing. He promised to keep your secret, and help you train until you were ready to come forward.

The second time you saw him proved your hallucination theory wrong. Because this time you weren't half-asleep when he came nor was you alone. Romanda and Shuri were present as well when he rose from the water. You nearly forgot that your mother and sister had no knowledge of your powers. At the sight of this man with wings on his ankles flying over to where all of you were trying to hold a grieving ceremony for your deceased brother. You placed yourself between him, and your family.

He tilted his head to the side with a teasing smirk on his face. There was a look in his eyes as if he knew exactly who you were and what you could do. You knew right then that night wasn't a hallucination and he was the figure you saw in the sky. Which meant he did know you.

The next day while Queen Romanda met up with the Council to see what plan of action should they take, and Shuri studied the machine to see if it really could detect vibranium. You managed to sneak off back to the beach alone. As if he could sense your presence his head appeared above the water. When you walked over to take a seat in the sand close enough to where the water would kiss your bare feet. Namor needed no invitation to know you wanted to talk to him, and made his way out of the water to join you. His shoulders brushed up against yours as he took a seat beside you. You pulled away shivering at the small amount of contact.

He gave you a devilish grin showing his perfect teeth. "Don't worry mi amour I mean you no harm would you be here if you thought I did?"

"I'm here because I want to put an end to this before it even starts." You told him looking out at the waves.

"And exactly what are trying to prevent?" He asked you.

"A war" You said turning your head to look him in the eyes. You wanted to see them soften and assure he didn't want that. But all you saw was the truth and his conviction.

"As long as your mother upholds her end of the deal and hand over the scientist. Wakanda will be fine but I can't say the same for the rest of the world" Namor said.

"Where does the hate come from?"

"The surface love has never shown any love for me or my people. So why would I have anything else for them except hate?" He shot back.

"The world doesn't even that you and your people exist raging a war is a hell of a way to bring your existence to the light." You arched an eyebrow at him.

"If Wakanda refuses to turn over the scientist like I predict you will. Then it would only be a matter of time before the rest of the world discovers us, and we both know they wouldn't leave us be. I mean look at the way they try to bring Wakanda down for your resources." Namor told you giving a look daring you to challenge him.

As much as you hated to admit it deep down you knew he was right. Your mother nor your sister would turn over a innocent person to Namor to be killed. For simply being too smart and creating the vibranium detector. If anything they would attempt to keep the scientist in Wakanda permanently to prevent them from building another one.

"You know there is another way to get what you want" Namor said bringing you out of train of thought.

You blinked and nearly fell back at the sight of him leaning in so close. You could his breath on your face. "And exactly what do I want?"

"Peace" he answered.

You nodded at him and continued. "How do you propose we get that?

"A formal alliance between Wakanda and Talokan a bond that your country cannot defy."

You had a feeling you knew what kind of bond he was talking about, but you wanted to hear it come from his mouth. "What kind of alliance?"

Namor gave you that grin again sending chills down your spine. "The purest one of them all." He paused to move his lips to your ear "a marriage."

"Who would marry?" your voice quivered a little bit making him chuckle.

"Oh mi amour you know you're the only one in Wakanda worthy of my love. I saw you that night on this very beach commanding the water, and other times before that bending nature to your very will. You would make the perfect wife and queen to Talokan."

You jerked back away from him with a worried and surprised look mixing into one on your face. Namor chuckled again raising a hand to cup your cheek.

"What do you say Princess? Will you be my queen?"

(slight spoilers for Book 7, tho i take it a lot of us have seen Hornton's overblot form + mama Draconia's design at this point lmao. also i'm calling her Draconimom until we get a confirmed eng spelling for her name)

Overblot mask analysis – Malleus + Dark Mirror v2

it's probably been brought up already but i'm gonna be annoyed w/ myself if i leave overblot hornton out of my overblot mask analyses, it's pretty straightforward overall but STILL

Similar to Vil, the main body of Malleus' mask takes on the shape of a cowl, echoing that of Maleficent's own headgear. This widow's peak-esque shape was already present in the design of Malleus' forehead scales (which aren't normally visible), but the mask better emulates Maleficent by bringing the point down closer to the brow line.

The central V of the mask has a fiery exterior trim; on closer inspection, the "flames" appear to be made solely of shapes based on Malleus' (and Maleficent's) horns. In comparison, the motifs on the further edges of the mask seem to be just basic fire patterns.

Arcs of spikes & scales make up both the interior trim of the mask and the portion connecting to Malleus' eyes. These directly mimic the spines and purple underbelly of Maleficent's dragon form. (The scales on his cheekbones don't correlate to any part of Maleficent's face, humanoid or dragon, and are likely there just to complement this part of the mask.)

Of note is the spiked line extending from the peak of the mask down over Malleus' nasal bone. Rather than representing part of Maleficent's face design, it appears to take after a different source–

–the main body of the mask is literally his mom's crown. which hurts a bit! own it tho ig, like hey if he's gonna be under so much pressure due to being prince then he might as well get an overblot mask to represent that. "heavy is the head that wears the crown," etc

Anyway this is like a field day for me bc Draconimom's design is literally so fantastic to analyze. I'm getting hit with the urge to make diagrams. Do u realize how rarely this happens

1. The horns? The horns. I don't think I have to go over this one again. However, the little bumps near the horns on the mask could signify the two…ear guards(?) of the crown.

2. The upper two curved prongs lined w/ dots and spikes on the Dark Mirror's mask match up strikingly well with Draconimom's pauldrons! The lower two prongs bend in the opposite direction, and seem to be there just to balance out the top pair.

3. Like the tattered edges of Maleficent's robes, the lacy edges of her cape could easily be compared to the fiery edges on the upper half of the mask. Comparatively, the frills along the bottom of the mask are distinctly rounder and less flame-like, which matches up well with the softer, almost fluffy-looking edges of Draconimom's skirt. The netting on the mask could then, logically, represent the fabric of the cape/skirt as though they're being dramatically flared out.

(Off-topic, but: if you look closely at the lace cape, you'll see roses worked into the design! This isn't part of the analysis, I just think it's neat owo)

4. Just under the mask's central 4-pointed star, there are 2 small extrusions on each side. These bear an uncanny resemblance to the 2 main lines used in the flow of the embellishments on Draconimom's bodice(?), with the upper one curling upwards while the lower one is just slightly curved.

5. I cannot stress this enough. I'm putting this in image format just so you can see how much I'm not joking. The central line of the mask is not just repeatedly utilized in Draconimom's outfit, it's literally integral to her overall character design. (It's a little hard to see due to her default pose unfortunately, as it interrupts the linear flow)

tl;dr get in losers we're getting hornton's mom out of that mirror

#YES this is basic design analysis but i can't go into the twst tag rn w/o seeing More Spoilers so i'm trying to amuse myself #there are a lot more instances of the central line of the mask in Draconimom's design but those 4 are the biggest examples #twst #twisted wonderland #diasomnia spoilers #twst chapter 7 spoilers #twst meta #dark mirror #malleus draconia #twisted rambling

Rose petals

Pairing: Yuji Itadori x Reader Content: setted after the Shibuya incident arc, manga spoiler, mentions of suicide if you look closely. In this future sorcerers have defeated Sukuna and Yuji Itadori is not executed. All characters are aged. w/c: ~2,3 k

♡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•ᥫ᭡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•ᥫ᭡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•♡

The sun was rising and the singing of little birds was filling the quiet room. Even the sunlight was entering the room, lighting up the bed. The covers were all wrinkled on one side, wrapped around the figure of your body, keeping you warm. You opened the eyes and all you could notice was the other side of the bed, empty and abandoned. And no one was there.

And you're alone again. Despite the external sounds and the dim light that was coming from the window, you couldn't help but thinking about you were alone, the room seemed quiet and dark. You sighed, your chest moved slightly up and down at every breath. Maybe if you close your eyes again everything will end... yes, it could work. But what Nobara would think about that? No, you shouldn't remember her, your best friend, it hurts too much. Damn, if you could you would have stopped her from going and risking her life and she would still be here with you.

Your days have became lonely without her presence. It was like something have taken away an important part from you, a person that you always liked and loved in your life. You hated that, you hated that with all of your heart. You couldn't do anything, at this point it had happened. You didn't even know why the fate had choose her. But, as we told, you couldn't do anything to change the past. Another sigh left your lips.

Your gaze moved to the sill of the window, where there was a little jar with a red brown rose inside. The flower had been given by none other than Nobara, the person you were crying for. Once straight and brightly colored, now its petals were partly brown and they deteached away from it one by one and his stem was a little saggy. It was as if it reflected your sad state of mind.

You sat down, your feet touched the floor and you stood up, not so ready to start your day. While you were walking to another room, a petal deteached away from the flower, resting on the sill.

♡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•ᥫ᭡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•ᥫ᭡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•♡

Sometimes when it was raining you used to watch outside the window and looked at the water drops sliding on the glass, almost competing on which drop would reach the bottom first. A game you often played when you were a lively and playful little kid. But years had passed by then and at that time you still didn't know what a psychological pain, a trauma, was. So now you were hypnotized by this drops which ended up uniting, becoming one. You felt like you weren't enough for this world, like someone who shouldn't be here. Perhaps if you take a good knife, maybe you could-

«Ehy, did you hear me?»

«Mhm?» the voice had woken you up from that daydream, bringing you back to reality. You tirned your head, only to see the pink-haired man who was watching you a bit worried. «Sorry, did you said something?»

«I just... I just asked how were you» he answered.

You wanted to cry and scream, again and again, but you also wanted to laugh to mask your pain and your tears. You wondered how he just managed to get through it all, or at least hide his pain well, seeing as he was just a kid when the accident happened. Damn, he may had suffered more than you. «I'm fine» you said with a fake smile. Those two words were probably a defense mechanism against the harsh truth. Maybe it was just a psychological matter: a person asked another person how were they, and then they, the one who was having a bad time and were emotionally destroyed, they tried to hide the problem, perhaps because the person who answered, you in this case, had thought that asking for help was a signal of weakness. Maybe. After you had said that, you continued to sip your drink.

He looked at you with an understanding look, as if he knew how you actually felt. «You don't need to lie»

«You talk as if you don't do it too» you replied. And he looked at you again with the same look, perfectly knowing you were right. Even if everytime he came to visite you he used to say he was fine, you couldn't help but notice he constantly touched the scar on his cheek. A little memory of his opponent.

«But if you ever want to talk I am here...»

«Yuji...»

«...I have experienced your pain too...»

You grabbed his wrist with a little squeeze as if to tell him to stop. He looked at you a bit surprised, but you could also feel his confusion in his look. The pain in your chest returned,your heart seemed to explode at any time. And his eyes met yours, almost disappointed by your trying to avoid the topic. «Stop...» you whispered, trying to hold back the tears.

He sighed, giving up. When your grip has loosened, he stood up from where he was and he walked over, stopping next to you. You stood up as well. You saw him spreading his arms slightly and you understood. You hugged him, and he wrapped his arms around you as well, holding you against him like he was trying to protect you. The tears formed in the corners of your eyes, sliding through your cheeks and falling on his jacket. «Everything's fine» he whispered in your ear, giving you a few light pats on the back «I'm here».

Despite he grew up, you noticed that over the years his character didn't seem to have changed: he still cared more about others than himself and wanted to protect people at all costs. «Yuji, I-»

You heard a ring, and then he walked away from you. He took his phone and put it next to his ear «Hello?». You could hear little voices talking through the phone, but you couldn't understand what they were saying. He mumbled something, the words «Yes» and «No» sometimes had left his lips before he said «Ok, I'll be right there» and hung up. He looked at you again «Sorry, I have to go... they said there's a curse in...» he swallowed «Shibuya...»

There was a bit of bitterness in that word. Shibuya, where all started, where a lot of people died, even Nanami and... Nobara. It still hurt to remember her. You accompanied Yuji to the front door and said goodbye, before closing the door behind you. You were alone again, no one here to listen to you. Tears were still sliding down your cheeks as you curled up on the floor.

Without you knowing, the rose in your room had lost more petals and there were only two left.

♡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•ᥫ᭡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•ᥫ᭡•°○●ᥫ᭡●○°•♡

Valentine's Day was a day you hated. Not that you had always done it, in fact, before the accident you liked going out with your friends. But now you're alone and you are forced to watch all the couples walk before your eyes. It seemed like on that day the world was reminding you that people had abandoned you to fate and that you weren't exactly lucky. To avoid reading those words in the looks of lovers, you had decided to stay at home. And now you were alone, alone and more alone. Seems this story talks a lot about loneliness, don't you think? But, if you want to know, you still have Yuji, right? Even if he doesn't pass a lot of time with you, he cares a lot for you. Because you are important for him, aren't you? No, you should stop thinking certain things and question yourself.

You heard someone knocking at the door. You walked through the room, you turned the door handle down and opened it slightly to see who was outside, only to see him «Yuji?!».

The pink-haired man seemed to have been attacked during the battle against the curses; his face looked bruised and was covered in small scratches. Even his clothes were ruined: the sleeves of the jacket were practically gone and some parts of the jacket were torn. You opened the door wide and let him entered the house. You saw how he was limping: hadn't he used the reverse technique to heal his wounds? You carried him to the couch, where he sat down and started breathing almost normally again. Almost, because as you could see, he was on the verge of crying. You could see how he gripped the armrests, how his eyes began to get wetter every second. It made you feel bad for him.

He let out a sob, something that have surprised you. You hadn't seen him like this in a long time, at least since... well, you know when. His bottom lip was slightly trembling and you remembered the guy he once was, affected by a trauma. Death and destruction, that's what he had experienced and he had always blamed himself. You could hear his heartbeat like that time. «I...sorry...I couldn’t...» he tried to speak, but he couldn’t help but stumble over his words «It happened again... I couldn’t do anything...» He seemed on the verge of having an emotional crisis «It's all my fault...I want to-»

«Hey no, look at me» you replied, moving in front of him and cupping his cheeks «It's not your fault. Anything that happened there, it's not your fault» you paused for a moment, only to see his reaction. You could see how he was looking at you, but you couldn't recognize any padticular emotion beyond the sadness and the sense of guilt «You said that if I ever needed you, you were here for me» you continued «And the same goes for you».

He continued to look at you with those big eyes, he was still sobbing and the tears rolled down his cheeks, slightly wetting your fingers «But I-»

His insistence was starting to annoy you, so you decided to shut him up in the only way you could think of at that moment: you gave him a tight hug, practically sitting in his lap while you did it. You had noticed he tensed up as you did so and his breathing hitched. But immediately afterwards his body had relaxed and he had brought you even closer, wrapping you in his arms and burying his head in the crook of your neck. You could feel his chest moving up and down against yours at every breath. It was... strangely comforting to you too. You let out a sigh as you felt him calm down with his sobs, even if a few tears still fell. «Sorry» he whispered, continuing to keep his head still on your shoulder. You passed your hand through his hair, they were soft and silky to the touch to your surprise. You felt your heart beat a bit faster. Why did you feel like in this way? Why had your heart started beating so fast? Anyway, you didn't have the answer for this questions, or at least you didn't have a sure answer. «Can I ask you something?»

The sudden question surprised you and brought you back to reality «Tell me» you said.

«Can I...» he started and his face seemed to have a slight blush «Can I stay here for the night? Just for today, I promise» Was he blushing?

You chuckled, finding his small reactions quite funny. «Of course you can. Whenever you want, you will always be welcome here»

A long sigh escaped his lips while he was still hugging you. Even his heart was beating quite fast as you noticed. You stepped away from him, placing your feet back on the ground as you stood up, and he slowly did the same. As you looked at him again, you saw how he seemed a little sleepy and his cheeks were stained with tears. You ran your fingers over his cheek in a gentle gesture, trying to remove any remaining tears. He let out a small gasp, but then he relaxed again, closing his eyes for a moment. «Sorry again» he repeat himself «I think I am just tired» he looked around, seeming to avoid your gaze. Why was he suddenly shy? Oh well, it didn't matter. You led him into the bedroom, then he lay down and looked at the ceiling. You lay down next and you saw him turn towards you. You felt as if his eyes were penetrating your soul, almost reading your thoughts and the sensations you felt. You touched his cheek lightly and then he smiled weakly at you. Whether the smile had been real you didn't know exactly, but seeing it it seemed so. He hugged you again like before, holding you close to him, as if you were the most precious treasure he had ever found. His breath was more normal than before and he let out a sigh, seemed to be relaxed, for real this time. He gently kissed your neck, that was something that made you blush amd shivered a little, but... he did this because you were just his friend, right? Even when you heard him whisper «I love you» to your ear, but it was probably your imagination, wasn't it? Oh well, at least you spent Valentine's Day with someone you loved.

Before closing your eyes you looked at the windowsill, where that vase with the flower was still located. And you smiled when you saw what was happening.

The rose, once brown and saggy, was growing back in all its beauty.

hi!! i love your taste in dramas and i was wondering if you have any more villain romance recs, specifically cdrama recs? i finished lbfad and tiger & rose already and im currently watching twisted fate of love (and LOVING it hehe)

yay i love villain romances!! gonna include villains and villain-lites! my favorites on this list are goodbye my princess and arthdal chronicles for villain main leads and love and redemption, monarch industry, empress ki, extraordinary you, chicago typewriter, and bridal mask/gaksital for villainy second leads!

cdrama: villain is the main lead

the ultimate villain romance for me is goodbye my princess. the male lead is fucking horrendous but compelling and it's a tragedy from start to finish. don't watch if you want healthy relationships, someone changing for the better through the power of love, or a happy ending. do watch if you're in the mood to just get fucked up and see gorgeous costumes and scenery while doing so (also my favorite cdrama ost!). romance of tiger and rose is kind of a romcom parody of this one, too!

the legends is a nice sort of gender flip-- the female lead is basically a hot shit, overpowered demon and the male lead is a gentle guy trying to do bad all on his own because he's full of heart eyes. there's also a secondary antagonist who has a thing for the female lead, so double villainy!

word of honor. i have not finished this one, but one of the male leads def fits this bill!

the rise of phoenixes. not really a villain ML, exactly, but he's very machiavellian and schemey so if you liked the lead in twisted fate of love, you'd DEFINITELY like him (i need to finish this drama!!!)

...till the end of the moon. which i dont think i recommend, but feel compelled to mention. here's the deal: the middle arc, like eps 19-30ish? fucking perfection! the bookends on either side? dont do nearly as much. the end? i dont know her (literally, i didnt bother with the last ep). idk try it out if you're starving for costume villain love trapped in a masochism tango, but....watch some of the other dramas on this list first

cdrama: villainy second lead and/or main antagonist is in love with the lead

love and redemption and dear god you'll need a stress ball

monarch industry/the rebel princess has shades of this

prince of lan ling

kdrama: villain is the main lead

arthdal chronicles has a male lead having a villainous crush on the female lead (and they are VERY ship baity), as well as the second male and female leads both being villains and in love. i love iiiit, but be warned it ends on a cliffhanger and s2 isnt out yet

cheese in the trap. the male lead is not a great dude. a lot of people dont like this drama, but i love it (aside from a weak last ep)

everyone's just a little bit shitty in bloody heart, to include the male lead

the male lead in little women will have you guessing from start to finish if you're a clown for trusting him or not

who the villain is is kind of a rotating door in the series, but the main male lead in moon lovers: scarlet heart ryeo definitely spends time in anti-hero land

que sera sera and when a man's in love/man in love are older dramas with male leads who are definitely Questionable (the former is described as a bastard in the synopsis and the latter is an ex-gangster trying to go legit but not quite able to shake the gangster tendencies). neither story is a traditional romance, and there's a lot of content warnings to be mindful of (lots of slapping and hitting in the former, cheating in the second [and probably some slapping])

depending on your POV (or the point of the story) the main love interest from empress ki could qualify! and then there's a support character who's a straight up villain that's got a crush

i dont want to tell you anything because spoilers! but there's flavors of this with king in love/the king loves

kdrama: villainy second lead and/or primary antagonist is in love with the lead

extraordinary you

mr. sunshine (more anti-hero than villain, but you'll get that flavor with dong mae aka my most intense SLS ever)

dali and the cocky prince

the princess' man

tale of nokdu

chicago typewriter (more villainous crush than full on love line)

bridal mask/gaksital (the male lead also starts out as a villain in this one!)

from now on, showtime! features a villainous crush and i wish the backstory eps were their own drama because i loved them

#asks!#cdrama #kdrama

do you have any spare thoughts on the bishop of southwark because i finally interacted with him and i am Obsessed

i was going to answer this by posting screenshots showing i was the Minister-tier backer that made them put the bishop of southwark in Mask of the Rose, but i couldnt find a good one that wouldn't also force me to look at how much i spent on that.

it was worth it. but confronting to think about.

ANYWAY I spend a lot of time thinking about Reggie's queerness. (Did you know his name is Reginald? I don't remember where the game actually reveals that he is in possession of a first name.)

(Also, I like to say "That's my Reggie!" the way Bonnie does in this episode of Gayle. I have watched Gayle so many times, it has become a load-bearing part of my personality.)

Spoilers for The Brass Grail under the cut

I'm not sure if it's actually explicitly stated in any of the free content (I know it's for sure it's implied, but... well, it's a big game!) but it IS explicitly said in the fate-locked story The Brass Grail that Reggie is queer.

The Bishop checks the corridor outside his study. "If you speak a word outside this room, I'll dredge that skull up, tie you to it and throw you both down a b____y well." He reads the note again. "I never married. I've loved two… I've loved two men."

I'm pretty comfortable saying he's gay, although I've known some people who think he's bi. (The Brass Grail is about him begrudgingly fulfilling a debt he has to Hell, and one of the options given to him is that he could marry Virginia. I think maybe some people take that as an indication that he does possess possible attraction to women, especially considering that he seems more put off by the fact that she's a devil than that she's a woman. And, of course, the player character can be any gender, and during Feast of the Rose can have a dream about being married to Reggie*)

His relationships with both of those two men he's loved seem to have happened after London fell (he was in a relationship with his first lover, Michael, during the Campaign of 1868, and London fell in 1862. I mean, I guess he and Michael could have been together for over 6 years, but... well given what we see of Michael in The Brass Grail, I just think it's a little unlikely. I don't get the vibe that he was really into long-term commitment. He seems like kind of a flake!)

So I spend a lot of time thinking about Reggie, who grew up before the Fall, who was attracted to men but did not act on it, who devoted himself to the Church even though his father did not approve of his eldest joining the seminary, who was thrust into an environment where that sort of thing is suddenly tolerated, and he does... frankly, very little with that! Anglican priests can get married, and the Masters have said the gays can have everything they want, but he opts to remain private. Idk I just think that you can't spend that much time knowing for certain sure that there are aspects of yourself that are inherently, unforgivably wrong, and not internalize it. You can't just wash that off, even if people insist that actually it's alright, we swear. I think there is a part of the Bishop of Southwark that has always been, and probably always will be, deeply, deeply Afraid.

And I think that's very fun and sexy of him.

*okay so about the Nuptial Phantasies. If you haven't experienced Feast of the Exceptional Rose, you can pay (in game currencies, not Fate) to have a dream about being married to one of the main NPCs in the game. There were 4 options when they were first introduced- The Cheery Man, The Gracious Widow, Sinning Jenny, and the Bishop of Southwark. (They have since added Mr Wines). Of the original options, the Bishop's is the only one where it is NOT heavily implied that you have wicked crazy sex on your wedding night. (The closest it gets is "The trance closes with him offering to teach you some wrestling moves in front of the fireplace. To all appearances he means this literally.") Personally, I think this is because he is 1. gay and 2. celibate, from a combination of trauma and internalized homophobia, so (in fiction) there was no way he'd agree to letting people have dream visions about having sex with him, even though he did begrudgingly agree to the fantasies in general. but I would be remiss not to point out that I think headcanoning him as ace is an equally justified reading of the text.

#fallen london #YEAH THIS IS GOING IN THE MAIN TAG!!!!#I DIDNT PAY A LOT OF MONEY ON KICKSTARTER TO ONLY LIKE THE BISHOP A NORMAL AMOUNT OK!!!!!!

Ok so I have held this in 4 a while now and I will explode if I don't share these cursed thoughts

Here's: a weird Roblox Rant by yours truly. (Break In spoilers ahead)

This is mostly gonna b ab Break In: Specifically, the antagonist Scary Larry.

Now with that name, you'd expect him to be like every other roblox villain, simple 'n evil. But this guy, THIS GUY-

He actually has character, looks pretty fun and has a sick background.

Now lemme explain: Larry is actually pretty rich, this guy own a mansion with rose bushes and golden/silver wind up keys around his house, not to mention the hung up newspaper that literally says he bought the most expensive house in the neighborhood. Plus I think he pays his minions or at least brainwashes people. (which costs even more money.) Also, his weapon of choice when you fight him is literally a golden crowbar.

As for his looks, he's a goofy villain guy, wears a bright purple suit with a 90's flower hat, black (presumably) leather pants and a purple masquerade mask. from his idle stance and his ridiculously long beard, he's probably very old, another thing to back this up is that he breaks when you wind the key on his back only 3 times

Another thing I've been thinking ab alot is his attack animations. When you fight him, he attacks you if you get past his minions/survive the spikes, the way he attacks is by spinning his whole body around like a God damn ballerina and trying to hit you with his crowbar, I Am Not Kidding. (Here's a video cuz I can't find any GIF's of this guy)

youtube

Plus his dumb skipping and stance he does when he goes back to his spot to super jump back onto the pillar

Now for my most most cursed thought on him is: He would be a tumblr sexyman if he was in a different media.

LIKE HEAR ME OUT- look at his lines from his boss fight, look at his dramatic ass animation in the final ending!

this man is a LOSER MAN and people would go CRAZY over him, people would SWOON at the sight of his GAY LIL WALK and it PISSES ME OFF THAT HE'S A ROBLOX NPC WITH A GOOFY ASS NAME LIKE "SCARY LARRY"

anyways thanks for coming to my TED talk, Scary Larry; a rich, silly leader of an actually intimidating criminal organization, I love his looks and animations, hate his name, this man has been haunting my mind for weeks now.

#roblox #rant #i hate that i love this man #Youtube

Title: Blood Moon Characters: Two OC's (a STAR and KLBR unit) and Elster Word count: ~2k Warnings: Possible spoilers Notes: Is this how you do this? I...have never published anything on this site so I apologize for the messy information. This is some content for two OCs I came up with. I had a lot of fun with the formatting and I think this overall turned out pretty good! If there's interest I have an idea for another part, but otherwise hope you enjoy! Thanks to @/purrluto for translation help!

| PLAY ▶ |

"FALL BACK! EVERYONE FALL BACK!"

The sound of gun fire and squealed screams filled the air.

"THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM!"

A STAR scanned the corpses of fallen allies; allies falling.

"IS THERE NO MORE BACK-UP!?"

Her gun began to click.

"GET BEHIND THE DOOR!"

She lowered the empty weapon and her shield.

"EVERYONE! BEHIND THE DOOR, NOW!"

...were they in there? Beyond the infected? Are they alive?

Another STAR grabbed her arm.

"Zero, come on! We have to move!"

| ⯀ |

| ▶▶⎸|

| ⯀ |

| ▶ |

A lone STAR huddled in the corner. A lone star in a dark room. The furnishings had been tossed and parts of the floor had been charred black. Blood stains covered certain tables and spots on the tile floor. Yet one table—a table to her left—stood against the wall with a single desk lamp softly flickering. Across the room was a door sloppily barricaded with tables and chairs.

She hugged her knees tighter and put her chin down against them, closing her eyes.

She's a coward for running. But...

The small room echoed with the sharp noise of the door raising open. Her eyes shot open as her head snapped to the source: a slight shadowed figure moving the chairs and tables. She rose to meet her with the corner as her support, backing further into it and raising the revolver to point it at the girl who stopped once she noticed her.

She watched the STAR tremble. She took in her damaged form. The skin on her cheeks were torn off, exposing the barred metal teeth once covered. Multiple lacerations on her body were wrapped in bandages. Her shield—leaned against the wall—sported blood stains and as did the face mask next to it. Her weapon was empty yet she held it ready; her eyes quivered with the rest of her body.

"An LSTR...? Those...those were never deployed here." Elster slowly entered the room farther. "Relax. I won't hurt you" The STAR didn't respond for a moment before she slowly began to lower her weapon. "Sorry..." She sighed. "It's just....I....yeah....sorry...." With that Elster went to the table and placed down her weapon—a shotgun. "What are you doing here? There were never any..." The STAR trailed off. "Do you have a name?"

"I suppose so...I'm STAR-0000, but everyone just calls me Zero. What about you?" Elster shook her head as she turned her focus to the table and the weapon. "Just Elster, then...." Zero mumbled. She'd begun to disassemble the firearm and inspecting the various parts; it was slightly dirty thus prone to dysfunction. "I'm looking for someone—a Gestalt, Alina Seo. Familiar?" Zero shook her head as she once again put her back to the wall and allowed herself to sink to the floor. "No I don't think so. But if she's a Gestalt she'd most likely be in the mines."

"Mm, so I've been told."

A lull of silence came about as Zero watched her clean the various parts of the firearm, before finally she swallowed and spoke up. "Um....hey, did you happen to see any Kolibri units on the way here?" Elster paused and looked down to her as she continued. "I'm....also looking for someone."

| ⯀ |

|⎹◀◀ |

| ⯀ |

| ▶ |

The metal door slammed shut. "How long will that hold them....?" One STAR asked. "Will that hold at all?" Another added. Their commander turned from the door to them. "We don't know how much time we have and no one's coming to help us. The only way out is through the elevator and we need to reach the upper floors; they're probably flooding up the stairs."

"Captain! It's out of order!" A STAR called to her from the elevator button. The captain pushed passed everyone to see for herself, eventually resorting to attempts at prying the doors open. With no avail whatsoever, she stepped back and swore under her breath. "The stairs are back where we came..." She thought to herself. "Do we have any bullets? Any at all?"

"I'm out." "Me too." "I used everything." "Empty."

Nothing but a chorus of similar words among shuffles.

"God dammit..." The captain began to pace as she thought. This whole time Zero had her eyes trained on the door. At last she'd begun to slowly walk toward it, yet as she neared someone called out. "Hey!" Everyone turned as the STAR ran over and wrapped her arms under Zero's, dragging her away while she'd begun to writhe. "Get off me!" "Are you trying to kill us!?" "I need to go back!" "There's nothing for you back there!"

All eyes fell on her. An acute taste of disappointment filled their gaze as if this was expected—as if this was no surprise. Finally, Zero growled and leaned her head forward. "GET. OFF!" She aggressively buried the back of her head into the front of the STAR's face, breaking her nose and her mask. The pain caused her to release and Zero took off charging toward the door, shield out in front. "GET HER!" one called, but it was too late. She opened the door and slammed into the infected bodies with her shield, pushing them away as the door closed behind her.

For a few moments Elster said nothing, both as if pondering the question and whether to tell her.

Tell her?

Yes No

"I have, yes."

Zero's head snapped up to attention. "What?" Elster put down the cleaning rag to fully turn to her. "At the 8th floor in the library. It needs a key to open."

Give her the key?

Yes No

Zero rose to meet her hand, holding out the key card. She gently took it while glancing back and forth between it and Elster without words. "I hope you realize that every hallway is filled with infected." Zero nodded. "I'll....I'll manage." She looked into Elster's eyes. "I don't know how to thank you..."

"You don't have to." Elster took four revolver bullets and set them on the edge of the table near to Zero. "They need you." Zero grabbed the bullets in growing desperation. "Thank you...thank you."

我把他们都杀死了。。。

She pushed in, beset by squeals on all sides. She'd bash and swing, yet more filled the emptied space she created. They tore at her skin. They knocked off her mask and ripped the flesh off her cheeks.

| ⯀ | 可是我哪里都找不到了他。。。。。。。。。。 Took Library Key.

。。。我的最后希望。

Floor 7. She bashed an infected body to the floor with her shield on her way toward the moving elevators. Suddenly its hand came to grab her ankle, causing her to fall into the one moving downward. She turned as she lowered and saw it hissing while attempting to climb in through the closing gap. A single shot from her gun pierced the space in between the eyes.

Floor 8. She stepped off and rushed for the library door in the immediate room. At last the door opened after fumbling with the card and she immediately began to scan the surroundings until her eyes froze on a similar pair, peaking out from behind a desk. "Zero...?" They whispered. "Nyx...?"

They slowly began to rise out from cover to drink in her battered form; salty in taste with overwhelming metallic tinge. The bandages, the blood, the bio-flesh torn...and when she removed her mask, how ruined her face was....it all hit their eyes at once. Their words gently quivered out at the sight. "Oh god..." "Nyx..." Zero gently whispered back.

我的爱。。。

Nyx walked around the desk and ran to her, tightly throwing their arms around her as she dropped her weapons. "What happened....?" Their voice cracked as they asked. "I did everything I could to find you. I looked everywhere..." "Zero...they're all dead..." Whispers turned to whimpers running down with the tears. "It's so loud out there..." Zero held them tighter fighting not to break.

"We can get out, we can escape..." 我̷̛̛̹̪̥͖̥̤̱̓̽̽̀͛̊̃͘͝们̵̢̡̺͚̮̈̌会̷̨̡̛̙̩̦̺̺̰̯͎͇͐̔̐̾͛̅́̏̀̉͜ͅ吗̶̢̙̒̇̑̐̃̽̿̀̉͜。̶̩̘̘̱͎͖̹̳̗̬̌̇́̕ͅ。̸̨̠̺̞̮̪̒̄̍̓͒͋̿̚͝͝。̷̧̛̭͕̜͙̣̾̃̎？̴̢̣͂̓̋̒̄̋̊̄̚̚

"I'll protect you..." 。。。哪怕我再得去世。。。

。。。我也要保护你。

Nyx winced hearing her thoughts and pressed their face into her, shattering into full blown sobs. They began to sink; Zero joined until they both reduced to their knees. "I'm right here...I'm right here..." Even her comforts began to quiver. "I'll protect you..." Despite her warmth it all felt cold—like a home built on rotten planks to defend against a storm. Nyx tried to breathe in attempt to whisper. "Don't....don't do this to me....you're all I have left..."

Slams and thuds rang out from the closed metal door, which forced their attention. "Please....!" There was growing desperation as Zero began to rise. "Please!!" They watched her take her weaponry. "I..." Zero swallowed before continuing. "I'm gonna try to hold them off...while you make a run for it..." "PLEASE!" Nyx reached for her, but she already headed for the door. "If I don't make it..." "YOU'RE ALL I HAVE!" "...know that I love you...more than anything."

She swiped the card and the door opened to a group of three infected.

Zero put her shield out front. Then closed her eyes.

A group of gunshots vibrated the walls.

Her eyes shot open and all three were down bleeding and motionless. Proceeding the silence she slowly stepped out, minding the bodies, and looked to her left. Nyx peaked from the doorway to observe with her. Smoke left the barrel of Elster's gun as she lowered it. She looked between the two, then into Zero's eyes.

She nodded.

Zero nodded back.

With Zero's returned sentiment she turned and left through the adjacent exit. At her leave, Zero slowly turned to look at Nyx; both with heavy breaths. All they could do was remain in pause.

| ⯀ |

| ▶⎸|

| ▶ |

Shots rang down the elevator shaft.

| ▶⎸|

| ▶ |

"Come on come on, OPEN!"

| ▶⎸|

| ▶ |

The snow hit sideways against the tarp wrapping Nyx and the shield Zero held. The two could barely see past the white shrouding the horizon and anything more than two meters in front. Least, until the shadow of a large rock stood tall against the sheet. With Nyx's lead they both made for its slight protective overhang.

Now under a form of shelter, Zero set her shield against the rock after using it in attempt to clear a patch of snow. There she seated while Nyx came from behind to press against her back and wrap the tarp around them both. Zero began to look back to speak, yet Nyx immediately interjected with a whisper in her ear.

"Let me take care of you...please...."

She froze at their words and sighed after a moment, turning back forward and taking the tarp's edges to pull them tighter.

"Where will we go?" Zero mumbled. "I don't know...another outpost, maybe..." "Mmn..."

Nyx rested their head on her shoulder, nuzzling closer.

"We'll make it...I promise." Zero gently nodded in response. "...we'll make it..."

If you don't mind me asking why do you think Cater wouldn't initially have a healthy relationship? I haven't done any of his personal stories yet and don't know much about him so I'm curious!

NcjsnsksnNSKSBKSS It’s funny that I have so many requests to analyze Cater, because he’s not very popular on my blog, or in the TWST fandom as a whole. He’s one of those boys that I feel like gets overlooked because he, like Vil, is seen as superficial. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

I don’t even like Cater personally, but I have very strong opinions about him...!! My thoughts below the cut (warning: spoilers for Cater’s UM and personal stories; there is also discussion of mental health); it’s going to be long:

OKAY.

So from the beginning, it is clear that many people, even those within his own dormitory, see Cater as shallow and carefree. At first glance, it’s easy to see why people have this perception of him. Cater’s always smiling and speaking casually, and he is on his smartphone/social media quite often. When it comes to actually having to carry out tasks, he tricks others into taking on his duties or otherwise finds ways to shirk his work.

This is all a façade that he has worked to perfect and present to the world, and most people fall for it.

Going back to his MagiCam obsession, I don’t think it is just a cute gimmick or funny quirk. Time and time again in his personal stories, Cater is shown to be seemingly addicted to his phone. He goes to exceptional lengths to make sure his MagiCam account is aesthetically pleasing and thinks about how he can maximize views and rack in new followers. He’s much more calculated than you would think him to be.

Now then. Why is Cater so dedicated? He’s probably just a smart phone or social media addict, right? He’s just an influencer, so it’s all just a part of his job, right? I think the real reason is something much more dark.

You can see in his ceremonial robes and lab coat personal stories that there are little hints of Cater’s “true” personality.

When he is alone, he is much more somber. He makes remarks about how he is tired and doesn’t care about the entrance ceremony (a typically very exciting event), yet he still forces himself to be present and wear a smile. However, what makes Cater happy in this moment is that fact that he took nice photographs for his social media.

When signs of his “true” personality show around his classmates (he infuses his “sad” personality to a mandrake), Cater firstly denies it--then he doubles the amount of work he initially did in order to cover for the “sad” mandrake. This is the same Cater that shirked his work, making the freshmen paint the roses red and arrange cutlery for him.

From these two SR personal stories, we can deduce a few things: 1) Cater is not daijoubu, and 2) he uses MagiCam/social media has a means of coping, and 3) he puts forth great effort to hide the sad side of him from the public eye. Now, it’s unclear as to why exactly Cater is like this, since we know very little of his past (only a bit about his family life, like that he has two bossy older sisters and that the Diamonds love “cute things”). That’s a whole 'nother story for a different day.

For another perspective, let’s consider Cater’s Unique Magic, Split Card. A Unique Magic is something that only a single person can use--it is highly individualized and tied to the personality, history, and/or attributes of its user. Just as Riddle’s Off With Your Head allows him to have a sense of control in his life when he had none in childhood, I believe Cater’s UM is a reflection of who he really is. He wears many “faces”, just as Split Card allows him to duplicate himself many times over. Each clone acts independently, almost as though they have a mind of their own, each a personality or a mask that Cater wears to distract from his true emotional distress. He is also said to be good at acting, which he uses to his advantage to mask what he is really like.

The point is, it’s perfectly justifiable why many people view Cater as being shallow--because that is what he wants the public to see and believe. What’s truly difficult is capturing Cater’s true essence--someone who is hurting, but shuns others for fear of being rejected if he is anything less than the pretty photos he posts on MagiCam.

For this reason, I feel like it would be difficult for him to be in a healthy romantic relationship. He’ll play the part of a doting boyfriend well enough, but that isn’t really a healthy relationship because in reality, he is closed off from you. Cater would have issues with being open about his feelings with his partner, and he might just fixate more on MagiCam as a means of escaping. The romance, much like his cheery personality, would be superficial at best. He needs to learn to be more trusting of others, and to put the phone down and be honest with himself for once.

If you are interested in a piece that integrates both aspects of Cater--the superficial and the deeper side to him--in the context of a romance, I would recommend reading Shine Like a Diamond. I feel that it is a decent glimpse into his many faces and it would help people to appreciate his character a little more!

The Masked Singer Season 4 Episode 4: Group B Playoff Time! A Reveal That Had Me Shook AF... Commentary and Guesses

Hi fellow Masked Singer lovers! Welcome (once again) to Ana's Masked Singer recap, where I, Ana, recap every single episode of the Masked Singer. If you are new, welcome! So what I do is pretty much start with the eliminated contestant, give my thoughts (this one's juicy based on the title, I promise you that), and then go into my guesses of the remaining contestants/my thoughts on their performances. Alright, so explination out of the way, let's get started

(Warning: The below info contains spoilers for the episode, read at your own risk... don't comment that I spoiled it for you because this girl warned you.)

Alright, so first and foremost, let’s talk about the shocker of the night, the eliminated contestant who was...

*DRUMROLL PLEASE*

The Baby Alien 👽

Performance: You know his performance of It’s Time by Imagine Dragons was actually pretty good, I am kind of sad that he left so soon. I knew it was either him or Whatchamacallit who was going to leave, but my money was on Whatchamacallit so I was kinda bummed to see Baby Alien go. However, it made for a great reveal, like damn I am still shocked and it’s been days (apologies for the delay in this btw, it’s been a busy couple of weeks).

So Baby Alien was revealed to be to my surprise...

Mark Sanchez

Ok so if you don't know who he is, neither did I. The shocking part for me was that he is a freaking NFL QUARTERBACK and I was totally expecting an actor or a comedian under that mask. That Russian accent really got me, oh my God! Having said that, I am really impressed by him since he had to carry a 40 pound thing & learn how to maneuver a puppet. It's super cool to see an athlete really into acting, Broadway, and musie gives me low key Troy Bolton from HSM vibes and I love it!

Here are some clues that you (and me too) probably have missed:

Hot dog, Friends clues, NY clues in general- I mean he was the NY Jet quarterback so there’s that

Parade with the roses- his college team was USC and he played in the Rose Bowl helping them win in 2009

Horseshoe, horse clue- other teams he played for like Denver Broncos or USC Trojans

Alright so yup, now that that’s cleared up (omg still surprised), let’s go into the 4 remaining Group B contestants:

1. The Serpent 🐍

Performance: His performance of The Bones by Maren Morris was amazing and omg I am in between 2 people when I listen to this, but nevertheless he is one of my favorites on the show so we stan.

As for my guess, I still gotta believe that it is Broadway sensation...

Leslie Odom Jr.

Ok so when I said I was stuck between 2 people, I meant him or Chris Jackson (who is also in Hamilton and played George Washington), but I feel pretty strong about Leslie because of the clues:

Rent reference= he began his Broadway career in the show Rent at the age of 17

Crossaint= could be either a reference to a Smash episode he was in called “Coffee and Crossiants, anyone?” or that he was involved in the 2018 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival

Childhood (Physical on-stage) Clue: the baby bottle and “Got Clues?” = He did a commercial called Got Hamilton for the Got Milk campaign

2. The Crocodile

Performance: So he sang Toxic by Britney Spears which was an interesting song choice ngl, but I really enjoyed it more than the first one for sure. His falsetto was insane in this song and I really enjoyed it, you can tell he’s a pro singer, and I can recognize that voice anywhere...

I am still gonna go with for my guess as one of the Backstreet Boys...

Nick Carter

The clues really sealed the deal for me to think it’s Nick:

Orange Tree- he grew up in FL

The whole father story with the $100 paycheck= he wrote this in his book

“Toxic” parts of his past= he does have a very toxic relationship with his family (his parents were unhappy and him/his siblings didn’t really get along, i.e. his public feud with his famous brother Aaron Carter)

The 5 on the door= 5 Carter siblings including Nick

3. The Whatchamacallit

Performance: This time he performed “Money Maker” by Ludacris and Pharrell Williams and honestly he got moves but he is the weakest vocal wise, he reminds me of Frog from last season but not as strong of a rapper. For sure, he isn’t a pro rapper, but I do still think he is an athlete

As for my guess, I changed my answer and this time I am gonna go with another athlete...

Lonzo Ball

Ok so I changed my guess due to a YouTube comment telling me to watch his rap battle with T-Pain, and guys if you hear that, they sound very very similar.... but I am also convinced due to the clues:

3 Bees 🐝 = BBB aka the Big Baller Brand, his family’s brand

His mom being in bad shape= she suffered a stroke in 2017 which is right when he was drafted for the Lakers which explains the whole I was at the height of my career until I got the call thing

Childhood clue: book “hairy tales of the whatcha dam by Doodad doohickey” = idk this tbh, there are no books by him or his family maybe it’s because his family and him own a business together and are super close?

4. The Seahorse

Performance: OMG her performance of “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion was the best performance of the night! I was shook, she is amazing! I mean I knew she was amazing, but I didn’t expect that level of amazingness wow she’s so good. Bet anything that a woman is going to win The Masked Singer again this season because the females are the strongest, and the only people leaving so far have been male.

I am certainly positive that she is former American Idol contestant:

Tori Kelly

Ok so the clues are very telling:

9pm clocks and the fail stamp= she lost the 9th season of American Idol during the Hollywood round and Simon ripped her a new one like damn he was super harsh on her I remember that

I posted up in my room= probably a reference to her YouTube covers

Smile with slash= her song unbreakable smile

Well guys, we are done here! Thank you for reading and I’ll see you all next week (hopefully because this week is World Series and if that doesn’t get extended, we will be back next week... if not, in 2 more weeks we’ll be back) when we introduce the remaining 5 masks that I (and hopefully all of you as well) have been waiting for, Group C! Don’t forget to comment if you agree/disagree with my guesses, what your guesses are if they are different from mine, who your favorites are, and if you guessed the Baby Alien (if you did, damn you’re good!). Bye everybody!

"How did you even get in here?" "You have a window, don't you?" for the ask game

(Send me 2 sentences and I’ll continue them like they’re lines from a fanfic.)

short answers, what are short answers, how did so much juleka happen in this one

technically not spoilers i think? a LOT of gleeful headcanoning, because #givejulekaamiraculous

EDIT: now with an AO3 link! because i have historically been bad about losing track of fics i leave only on tumblr

“How did you even get in here?” Juleka asks, even though she’s fairly certain that she both knows the answer and doesn’t want to hear the answer.

Chat Noir shrugs, averting his eyes and rubbing the back of his neck. His tail flicks, once, and falls still. “You have a window, don’t you?”

“It’s a porthole,” Juleka says flatly. “Unlike almost every other window in Paris, it’s a little tricky to get through.”

“…do you want a Miraculous or not?” Chat Noir asks. His tail flicks again, in agitation this time, she’s pretty sure, and Juleka freezes up.

Because that isn’t why she thought he was here.

Sure, she’d seen the box in his hands, and she’d had some idea what it was- because she may not have seen one before, but she knows that Ladybug had been out calling for other heroes periodically. She knows, because while Juleka would never say anything her brother is her closest friend aside from Rose and he’s her oldest friend as well. Juleka knows the way Viperion plays his harp the way she knows how to read wind and water off the bow of the Liberty, the way she knows to read the sky for incoming inclement weather and the way she knows when Rose needs her.

But Juleka had assumed, then, that Viperion was why Chat Noir was here. Her and Luka’s rooms aren’t that thoroughly divided, privacy is something they’ve long since learned to negotiate between them and she’d assumed-

She’d assumed that Chat Noir had chosen the wrong window, that she’d have to tell him Luka wasn’t home.

When Juleka looks at Chat Noir again, timidly brushing the hair from her face to take a better look at his expression, he’s giving her a worried look but he doesn’t look like someone who’s made a mistake.

“Juleka?” he says uncertainly. Then he winces. “Sorry, I’m not great at this. Ladybug, uh, has a speech or something I think, but- Juleka Couffaine, would you give us the honour of wielding the Goat Miraculous?” After a moment he adds hastily, “I’ll need it back after the fight, but that has nothing to do with you, I promise! It’s just, it’s just a rule.”

Juleka had suspected that already from her brother’s distinct lack of new jewellery, but she finds herself nodding in a daze.

It takes her a bit to figure out how to put on the Goat Miraculous, and while Chat Noir tries to help he seems just as uncertain as she is, and anxious and restless besides. Juleka wonders about that before realising with a bit of a shock that Chat Noir must have left Ladybug to deliver her Miraculous.

She starts trying to hurry faster.

“I’m Ziggy and I’ll be your kwami,” a tiny floating goat fairy informs her happily moments later, and frankly Juleka’s life has gotten weird enough ever since Hawkmoth started terrorising the city that she nods and accepts that.

“It’s nice to meet you, Ziggy, but-” She glances at Chat Noir. “I think we’re in a hurry.”

The transformation is more than Juleka’s ever dreamed off. She can feel her energy and strength surge as her outfit changes, as her mask spreads across her face and outward-facing horns sprout from her head, curling defensively back.

Chat Noir is more than willing to call advice to her as they sprint and leap to the battle, and she catches a proud twitch to his ears more than once when she quickly starts to catch the trick to their superhuman abilities. Juleka’s always been a roughly equal fan of Chat Noir and Ladybug both but she thinks it might be tipping in Chat’s favour now.

And when they do reach the battle, she has solid proof it was no mistake that Chat Noir came to fetch her.

Because Viperion is already there, and he lights up to see them both, and when he laughs Ladybug whirls to see why and a proud smile cuts across her face as well.

Then Juleka sees her brother and Ladybug forced to leap apart as a blue bolt sears between them, and although Juleka can’t know what it does she’s already lowered her head to charge into the battle herself, sensing more than seeing Chat Noir go racing ahead of her.

Juleka had never expected to be worthy of a Miraculous. She’s been happy for her brother, but not that envious when she knows how much Luka deserves a chance to be the hero she knows he always has been.

But Juleka herself is- quiet, and timid, in a way that Luka generally isn’t. He’s very laid back, yes, but he’s also more than willing to put himself in danger for the sake of others. Although some of Juleka’s friends know that she isn’t truly timid, only shy, she had never thought that anyone who hadn’t gotten to know her better in some way (through school, or Kitty Section, or at least being someone she was comfortable talking to) would see hero potential in her.

The fight goes amazingly well with all of them there- because Chat Noir and Ladybug are already pros at fighting like a well-oiled machine, and whether or not Viperion can tell who Arapawa is she knows his style well enough to fight alongside him as though they’ve been doing so forever. In a way they have, just considerably less literally than this.

At the end of their battle, when their four-way chorus of fist bumps and cries of “Pound it!” only barely covers the beeping of their Miraculous, she catches a thoughtful look from Viperion that makes her think maybe she isn’t the only one who’d recognise her own family anywhere.

It is kind of hilarious when Chat Noir takes off with her and Ladybug takes off with Viperion and their paths keep veering distressingly close to each other, forcing the two more experienced heroes to constantly adjust their routes.

In the end, Juleka catches the barest glimpse of Ladybug and Viperion dropping into the wheelhouse while she and Chat Noir scramble back through her window. Her lips twitch with a hastily suppressed style as she wonders if Luka noticed them, as well. Frankly, it’s a good thing their mother isn’t home, because she probably would have noticed four heroes clambering onto her boat. Probably.

Juleka gives her Miraculous back to Chat Noir without protest. The heroes have come back for Luka more than once, after all. Even if they don’t come back for her again, this day has definitely been enough to fulfil all her idle daydreams of being a hero herself.

And it’s not long at all after Chat Noir leaves before she hears quiet guitar notes from Luka’s room.

Juleka is content to stay in her own space, idly sketching in a notebook as she tries to recall her superhero outfit from memory, so it’s Luka who pushes their curtain aside eventually.

He doesn’t say anything right away, opting instead to settle on the beanbag she keeps for Rose and play for a little longer. His song wavers more than usual, notes going from a sense of pride and determination, to creeping fear, to a fiercer bout of pride interwoven with relief and happiness.

“New hero,” Luka says finally, the first of them to break the silence.

Juleka lifts her head and blows her hair out her face, tucking it behind her ear and willing it to stay there for a bit this time. “So I’ve heard. Arapawa, right?”

Luka plucks out a few more chords, reiterating the pride and joy from his earlier playing. “Yep, Arapawa. She was amazing- and she worked really well with Viperion. Almost like she already knew how to collaborate with him.“

Juleka’s lips curve in a tiny smile. "Maybe she did.”

Her brother sets his guitar down gently and gives her the kind of grin usually reserved for late night jam sessions when neither of them can sleep. “Well, I think she might be my new favourite hero. How about you, Jule?”

Lips twitching as she considers his expression, Juleka deadpans, “Nope, my favourite is actually Chat Noir,” and can’t repress a tiny snicker at the mock-hurt look Luka gives her.

Snickering, Juleka assures him, “But Viperion is cooler.”

“And I bet he looks forward to working with Arapawa again,” Luka tells her, his guitar already back in his hands as his fingers dance over a few more proud notes. “Because they make a great team.”

Lottie's Hair

Okay cuz Lottie has curly hair and I have curly hair, so I always imagined that we would have similar hair types so here are my headcanons on Lottie's hair

Definitely had 2c-3a curly(2c is s-shaped waves that start at the root and 3a are like coils that are about the size of sidewalk chalk)

Her mom probably taught her how to manager her hair when she was younger but it either wasn't that good or Lottie was never able to do it because of Beady

I can't decide of Lottie's bangs are curly or if she straightened them, but she defidently kept they curly after she cut her hair

Actually her hair became way more curly after she cut it(cuz you need to cit those ends every once in a while to maintain the curls)

She also vowed to maintain her hair better after she cut it

When she first came to Rosewood her hair routine was mediocre at best

Like sude she only shampooed her roots and condited the ends, detangled with a wide tooth comb and didn't brush her hair in between washed, but like Lottie didn't have leave in conditioner(which is a must with long hair) and didn't cover it while she slept so her hair was frizzy in the morning

Binah immediately noticed this and made it her goal to educate Lottie on her hair because it was kinda painful to watch(yes their hair types are very different because Binah has like 4a-c hair, but curly hair has mainly the same up keep, but with different amounts of products, washing, and different levels of maintenance)

Saskia also joined in because why not and now the three have a kinda chill day once a week where they put a hair mask in and watch a movie or something

Binah showed Lottie the complicated world of curly hair products(it's not that's complicated but the different products can be overwhelming)

So Lottie now has and regularly uses leave in conditioner, a diffuser(which is normally usee to dry finer curly hair like type 2-3), possibly curl gel or mousse(to keep the curls in a cast so they don't break alpart)

She also had a denman brush(uses for styling) which is an actual gift from God or whatever entity you beleive in, like curls just look better when you use it

Binah also got her a satin pillow case for Christmas(which is used to stop curls breaking when you sleep because of how fine it is)

Lottie also pineappled her hair and wraps it in a scarf so the hair sticks out of the front

Now that it's short, she sticks it in a satin bonnet cuz it's so much easier

Actually her whole routine is easier now that her hair is short. Less washing. Less combing. Less product. Lottie just wondered why it took so long for her to cut her hair

Also Lottie feels bad about Binah helping her with her hair, so Lottie learned how to style textured hair so she can return the favor to Binah

Honestly Lottie wasn't that good at first but Binah really appreciated the effort so she helped Lottie through it

Now Lottie's pretty good and Binah really enjoys Lottie's help because she doesn't have to be the only one to style her hair while at school
