Happy Tuesday :) Ep been wanting to get to. Anytime we get little more depth to them and Tim as a character I’m a happy girl. I forgot s2 only has 20 not 22 eps HA We’re almost done which is insane to me. Feel like we just started s2. So after this one we have 3 left in this season. What a trip. Let’s delve in shall we?

2x17 Control

Thanks to Nolan our couple starts their day off with some foot patrol. Grey wants them more engaged with the community. Tim lets her know that while he finds foot patrol annoying he agrees this is important to do. That it creates trust and likability therefore they get more help. Lucy seems real impressed with his answer. I always love when Tim impresses Lucy with his insight. Also when she makes sure he knows how enlightened she finds him. She's hot for Tim in these moments haha

Lucy loves when he shows her his moral compass about this stuff. I said it last review Tim as a person is very attractive. It's definitely huge part of her draw to him. A random guy comes up to them asking for legal advice. They stop and address him. Lucy fully expects Tim to answer this man’s question. I’m rolling when he tells this guy they’re movie extras’. Lucy’s double take is too damn funny. How she kept a straight face idk. He’s such a grumpy old man sometimesI love it. Or as Aaron says in s5 he’s like the old dude from 'UP' LMFAO I love you Timothy Bradford haha

Lucy's smile when he tells her they’re not google is too cute. We all know she loves her grump of a man. She’s enjoying him cracking a joke with a side of heart eyes to go with that smile. Look at him cracking jokes. So proud. Their comfortability level at this point is off the charts. His sense of humor is so fun to see. (He cracked me up too. I laugh every time.)This came out all on its own. I love him so easily making one around her. Lucy is quite amused and enjoying it herself.

Side notes I love about this scene. The ever wonderful height difference I legit can’t get enough. How damn in-sync they are as they’re walking together. Honestly the entire scene. Look at them. Lastly a fan favorite the the lack of personal space. Within inches of each other at all times. Like moths drawn to a flame. Always gravitating back to one another. Their physical chemistry without touching always floors me.

We rejoin them still on foot patrol. Lucy asking Tim if Rachel was disappointed she canceled on her last night? Trying to justify to Tim why she ended up bailing on their bar plans. Clearly residual PTSD from Caleb manifesting into her doing this. She’s clearly wanting to be relieved of the guilt she feels for canceling on her.

Tim is usually that person for her with his insight and telling her like it is. Not this time...She doesn’t get the reply she wants unfortunately. Just Tim being a lying liar who lies, when he says they don’t ever talk about her. Ok honey we believe you…I’m sure he actually talks about her more than Rachel would like. Lucy is offended with his cavalier answer LOL

Their convo gets interrupted by a dope stealing Girl Scout cookies. He runs and ends up in someone’s windshield. One of the little girls shows up from the troop to help them. Tells them they can use her scarf and pen as a tourniquet. Even tells Lucy where to apply it. Pretty impressive composure for a kid haha

Tim’s face is my favorite part when she asks if she can get a badge for this? He’s not sure what shocks him more. Her knowing how to do this or asking for a badge for it haha Lucy’s smile back at Tim is pretty cute. I feel like this will be them as parents when their kid does something that shocks them haha

The fire dept. arrives and so does Emmett Lang. Not gonna lie everyone he is smokin. I remember first time I watched this episode, I was thinking holy hell this man is attractive. Lucy deserved someone on this level of hotness to re-enter the dating world with. He is instantly flirty with Lucy. Telling her his condolences for Tim being her T.O. (good thing Tim misses this part ha) Lucy has zero problems flirting right back with him.

Honestly good for her. This is so needed post-Caleb. She’s crashing Jackson’s date plans and canceling on Rachel. She needed something to get her back on her feet. Just like Rachel was the perfect person for Tim post-Isabel. Emmett was for Lucy in the aftermath of 2x11. Girl needed a win and to feel it was ok to re-integrate back into the world of dating. Quite the score to start back up with if I do say so myself ha

They flirt some more at the hospital. Emmett basically asks her out and Lucy panics. Lies says she has something going on. Oh my girl. That PTSD is showing and I can’t blame her. Just hate seeing it affect her. Tim comes up and says it’s time to go. He says bye to Emmett and Lucy makes the connection they know each other. So she leans on her lifeline since she’s having doubts.

Tries to ask Tim about Emmett. Says he seems nice. Trying to get a beat on him through Tim’s eyes. Tim doesn't understand her line of questioning at first. Just giving short answers that give her no depth. He's thinking nothing of it until she gives him that look above. Then he quickly pieces together what this is.

He instantly disengages about it. Telling her 'No.' Not S1 Tim 'I could care less about your life.' disengaged. More 'I don’t trust myself to give you the right advice.' kind of distance. He wants no part of this. Lucy seems so upset he won’t talk to her about this. This scene is funny in how he cuts it off. How upset she seems. The pointing of his finger. Sadly we know the deep kernel of truth he feels to that final line of the scene.

The weight he’s still carrying around about her abduction. He doesn’t trust himself to vet Emmett for her. Since in his mind he failed so spectacularly with Caleb. He’d rather pass that emotional responsibility off to someone else. The weight that’s already on his soul is crushing...he can’t add to the load. Oh my broken boy. I wanna give you the biggest hug.

Lucy breaks my heart when Jackson tells her he needs alone time with Sterling. Lucy realizes she’s a third wheel. Has been for awhile now. She is horrified by this. Luckily Tim saves her with an OT opportunity. Joining the DEA operation Nolan and Harper are running. Lucy instantly jumps on it. She looks so upset walking away from Jackson. My poor girl. I want to give her a hug. I wanna hug them both in this one. This OP was blessing in disguise for her to do though. We get the best part of the episode during the stakeout.

Lucy is "on the phone" with Rachel saying all the things she wishes Tim would engage her on. He’s shaking his head as she rambles on. It’s so funny. Telling “Rachel” she’s been using Jackson and Sterling as a crutch. That together they make the perfect BF. Saying how they’re safe and that's why she keeps choosing them. My heart. Tim interjects 'Who are you talking to? 'Cause he knows it’s not Rachel.

John interrupts asking if they want coffee? He is going on a run. Lucy is her adorable self and asks for a chai tea latte all excited. Tim cuts her off saying this is a stakeout he's not going to Starbucks LOL Lucy rolls her eyes at him. He’s such an ass sometimes but I love him dearly rough edges and all. John is so sweet tells her he’ll see if he can find her some vanilla creamer LMAO

Lucy returns instantly to her fake convo and Tim can’t take it any longer. Has to call her out in the most Tim Bradford way he can. By calling her and proving she isn’t on the phone…Lucy is mortified but answers LOL Poor girl she just wants to talk it out with her person. I’m a lot like Lucy in the way that I need to talk things out. If I don’t they’ll eat me alive. I have a compulsive need to confront things and not let them fester.

It’s good to have that person you can talk it out with. If you don’t you start to self advise and that’s never good. Tim is that for her. Her sounding board. To her she has a problem she reaches for the lifeline that is Tim to sort it out. So him denying her that catharsis is messing with her. Why she created this fake convo. It got his attention so in the end it worked.

What kills me the most with this scene is both their reactions honestly. Lucy for being utterly shocked Tim would think his opinion had lost any value post-Caleb. To her it never ever occurred to place any blame on him. To trust his gut or opinion any less because of her DOD trauma. Breaks my heart Tim doesn’t see this before they have this conversation. That he truly believes his opinion has lost its value in her eyes after Caleb.

Lucy is astonished he would think she doesn't want his POV. She lives for it. Its the most important one in her life. Tim is so very vulnerable with her with his follow up answer. So proud of him for this vulnerability BTW. Nothing scarier than being emotionally exposed with another person. You can see it written all his face. That guard is down. We see the toll this guilt has taken on him. He unburdens his soul to her. Tells what has been eating at him for months.

That his advice pushed her towards something that could’ve ended her life. Since then he has devalued his place in her life. Doesn’t find himself worthy to advise her in personal matters. He fought against it for so long. Then he gave in and Caleb happened. In his mind proving why he never should’ve gotten involved in the first place. Chiding himself for getting close to her and having that closeness which put her in danger.

Lucy truly had no idea the guilt he'd been carrying since 2x11. It’s six episodes later. At the earliest that's 6 weeks at the most its a little over 2 months if we include her recovery time. The latter is the more likely timeline. That’s a long time to be carrying a burden she never placed on him. She can't stand that he's done this to himself. Lucy immediately wants to put him at ease. Trying to offload that burden and chuck it far away. It never once crossed her mind he would take the sole responsibility. Because not for one second did she ever blame him for it.

She vehemently reassures him it wasn’t his fault. He could be told by everyone under the sun it wasn’t his fault. He wasn’t going to stop mentally flogging himself till Lucy forgave him. She is all the things he needs in this moment. Letting him know she thinks it’s ridiculous he would blame himself, that no one had any reason to suspect Caleb for what he was, and overall what happened wasn’t on him. Lucy is taking that weight off his shoulders and throwing it away. Never allowing him to pick it back up again.

He looks so damn relieved and honestly very vulnerable after she absolves him. It helps him start to close a self inflicted wound. Eric the king of facial expressions killing me softly in this scene. His eyes and the way he looks at her when she said wasn’t his fault. *heart clutch* He couldn’t even look at her till she said that. Then when he does he's in awe of her. Like he can't believe she doesn't blame him but is so grateful for her saying as such.

I love her also sharing it wasn’t hers either. It was not at all. (Growth for her too.) Looks like he's biting back his emotions when she lets Tim know how valued his opinion is. It's so sweet. He needed his sunshine human to apply some balm to his wounds. No one does it better than Lucy. She’s complimenting him while also reliving him of the guilt he’s been harboring for much longer than she would’ve liked.

Had she known this she would’ve absolved him the day after honestly. No way she would've wanted him carrying this guilt day in and day out. Her opinion matters so much to him. He NEEDED to hear her say these words. It had to come straight from Lucy or he’d never let it go. She reassured him that not only did she not blame him but his opinion was one that matters most to her. Two things that were in question for him. Quelled the storm in his soul.

It’s scenes like this that are the true building blocks to their foundation. Why they end up working so well in s5. I will die on this hill of loving every single moment of this slow burn. I’m so glad we had 4 seasons to truly make them rock solid. It was so necessary for them as a couple. I don’t regret the wait at all. Because piece by piece they were building toward ‘The Really Beautiful Place’ Lucy calls their relationship in 5x18. Everything happens for a reason for them before we get there. This is just another wonderful facet of it.

The minute he’s granted access and allowance to give her advice he doesn’t hold back. His way of showing he cares too. I love them so much for their ability to just bounce back like they do. After a deeply emotional and vulnerable chat they're right back to the banter. Easily fall back into teasing one another. Tim basically says in not so many words Emmett isn’t good enough for her.(I mean no one is but Tim lets be honest.)

Lucy probes and asks why he thinks that? Tim doesn't hesitate in the slightest. Saying he’s a firefighter for god sakes LMFAO. Clearly has a prejudice against them. For whatever Tim reason that may be. Lucy being all cute saying 'Yeah that’s what makes him so hot.' ha She’s not wrong the man is fine af.

Tim gets defensive and says he doesn’t want to talk about this if she gonna be contrarian about it. Which is Tim speak for being jealous let’s be real honest. Lucy doesn’t hesitate to call him out on it. God I love her. Jokes he’s just threatened by his ‘hunkiness’ I mean he is….his reaction alone proves that he is. It’s ok Tim she still thinks you’re smokin too. She just can’t have you just yet haha

I love them ending this scene on a funny bantery note. Shows how much Tim cares about her. The fact that he is allowing this conversation to even take place proves that. Indulging her in this. They’re so married with their banter. I Iove them sfm. Soulmate behavior the way she teases him about everything and he allows (and loves) it. We leave the scene smiling and laughing at these blissfully unaware idiots in love.

Harper has Lucy and Tim chase what they think is the decoy vehicle once their stakeout is made. They soon realize the decoy vehicle has their target and Nolan’s CI. They end up getting T-Boned in the pursuit of it. Hurts to watch. They're both knocked out cold. I adore how the first thing Tim asks when he comes to is if she’s alright. Always puts her first. The soft way he says ‘Chen’ then asks if she’s ok. It’s the little things I love so very much. ❤️

Emmett arrives on scene flirty as ever with Lucy. She decides to be honest with him. Tells him why she declined his date offer. That her social life is complicated right now. He is smooth af with his reply. Tells her once it’s not he’ll still be interested. Their scene ends pretty cute. This is so good for her. I’m really happy to see her get back out there. She really needed him to help her get over her DOD hump. Just like it’s nice to see Tim happy the same goes for Lucy. I love them both individually as as much as I do together. This cute flirt session is well deserved after all the trauma she’s been through.

Thus ends our episode for them. Such a damn good one for them. I love their building block episodes. They do depth and growth like no other. How I love them so.

Side Notes-Non Chenford

Nice to see Angela get her foot back in the door for Detective. Well earned after her fallout in S1.

Harper SL's and her backstory. Getting to watch her in UC action always fun to watch.

Thank you to those who take the time to like/comment and reblog. Means the world to me. Fuels me to do each review.

See you all in 2x18 :)

Before I start speed posting art I wanna talk about this

//SPOILERS//

Okay, Caleb Wittebane...

I feel like every time we get a look at him, he looks more and more gaunt and sickly.

At our first look at him in Hollow Mind, in the paintings, he looks bright eyed, young, and happy.

But then in Thanks to Them, he looks...

He looks bony, and just so gaunt. With the high cheekbones and eye bags, he looks nothing like the guy in the memories. (Again, that may be because it's lower quality, but I don't think that's the case.)

Then, with out latest look:

My guy looks like a zombie. Thin hair, sunken eyes, incredibly thin cheekbones and bony figure, and eye bags that could only top a vampire. Not to mention the tears in his shirt. Like they're from a STAB WOUND.

The closest theory I have for this is... possibly because of the individual perceiving him. The memories show him as he was. They're true. The one Hunter sees is probably this old bad guy (can't find a better word) that he's only read about in human books. Then how Belos sees him is probably from a guilty conscience, or because he's literally haunting him? Seeing him as the brother he killed. That he did this to Caleb. Belos believes that what he did was right in some way or another, but maybe deep down, he truly knows that he's the psychopath that murdered his own brother. Enough to have the knife hanging over his head. The ghost says nothing, but his gaze says quite enough, You did this. That's why Belos sees him as all the pain he's caused, because we know he's killed him over and over again. That's also why he sees the ghosts of the gaurds along with him.

TL;DR : The visions of Caleb manifests itself differenly for everyone

Fanfic Ideas

Since the finale was a little disappointing, I came up with my own idea of things that could happen in the epilogue. This will cover more of the things they neglected to touch on, a little idea for future spin-offs.

1st: takes place two years after Belos' defeat. Gus offhandedly mentions a fun fact about Caleb or Evelyn he saw when he saw Belos' memories. This gets his friends to pry into what he knows. They might find out Caleb was a wood carver as well, not to mention Evelyn looked a lot like Eda, and she was pregnant. This makes the hexsquad go, "you don't think..." "Evelyn was Eda's ancestor!" "Then that means..." "Hunter you're related to Eda!"

They'll get into a little debate that just because he's Caleb's clone doesn't mean he's related to Eda. They would bring up Caleb's DNA is in both Hunter and Eda. They might also ease Hunter's conscience by saying being his clone makes him pretty much Caleb's son.

Of course they would tell Eda about this. While a little shocked, she says she already considers Hunter family so this doesn't change much. She would be a little shaken by the possibility of being related to Belos, which Hunter would bond with her over.

2nd: Takes place sometime around the epilogue. Thanks to some of their friends who know oracle magic, they request a chance to meet Caleb. They're told that Caleb won't be able to talk to them, but that's fine with them as they just want to talk to him.

When he appears, he sees Eda and smiles. He sees Hunter, and the smile gets a little forlorn. Luz is happy that there actually was a good human in the isles before her, and she's meeting him. She apologizes about Belos, er Phillip.

Hunter apologizes for existing as Caleb's replacement, and for what Belos did to him. Caleb simply places a hand on Hunter's head and smiles. This gets Hunter to tear up, because even Caleb accepts him for who he is.

After meeting him, and realizing Caleb is a good guy, they ask Hunter if he wants to have the last name Wittebane like Caleb. Hunter declines. He's willing to accept Caleb as his father, but he doesn't want to associate with Belos. He tells Darius that even if he can see Caleb as his father, he sees Darius as his Dad. The other characters might joke about how Hunter belongs to so many families, "And Camilia is your Mom, and Luz is your sister, and Gus is your brother, and you're related to the Clawthornes."

3rd: Takes place two years after the epilogue. Luz is in University, and Hunter is still in an apprenticeship with Dell. Dell is so impressed he tells Hunter he can start running his own business away from him, but Hunter wants things to continue (As Dell's not carving much anyways). Hunter starts acting werid. His hands start shaking, and he becomes a bit agressive and snappish, (calling his friends stupid). He confides in Willow that maybe he's too used to being under somebody, that he just can't strike it out on his own. Willow calls him out on this, saying he was willing to walk his own path since he was sixteen. He's hacking away at his work and when Waffles tries to comfort him he nearly hurts her, which starts to make him scared.

The next morning, Hunter won't wake up. Dell and Willow are quite concerned, so they call everybody close to Hunter and inform them what's going on. He seems to be in pain, and he's tossing and turning a lot. A healer notes that he seems physically fine, and he doesn't seem to have a curse on him. The only explanation they can gather is that Hunter is battling something in his mind. Of course, the Hexsquad volunteers to go in and help him so he can wake up. They're sure he's just battling some manifested emotion and he needs his friends to help him through it.

Camilia of course asks questions, like is that a good idea? Eda informs her the kids have magic so they'll be fine, hopefully. She then asks that why don't they all go in, and someone informs her that someone has to be on the outside to pull them out should things go wrong. Darius tells the kids that they better bring Hunter back all right, and Eda reminds them that no matter what memories they might see, they can't change anything, only observe. Luz tells her that they all already know that, Lillith would give her a knowing look, and Eda would say "Just thought I should remind you."

They go in, and they immediately start calling out for Hunter, hoping to find his Inner self. The memory portraits show some scenes of little hunter growing up with Belos, they are not happy memories. One damaged portrait is when he came out of the ground. Seeing the images they start to understand what the adults were telling them.

They eventually run into a wolf, it's fur is matted and it looks feral. They assume this is what Hunter is dealing with and try guessing what it could be...anger, survival instinct? The wolf notices them, they go defensive, but then it bounds up, turning into a puppy and happy to see them. Not the emotion Hunter is dealing with. They all have a guess as to what the wolf might be. Nostalgia? Curiosity? Playfulness? The wolf would turn back into an adult wolf and try gesturing for them to leave, even growling it out between it's teeth, but not actively trying to hurt them. Territorialness? No...they eventually deduce it's Hunter's protective instinct, and since it could turn into a puppy, he's had it for a long time. They tell the wolf that they are not leaving until they know what's troubling Hunter and that they want to help him wake up. The wolf won't tell them, but it won't force them to leave anymore.

They walk for a bit, finding memories of when Hunter was a scout and when he became the Golden Guard. That's when they run into the Golden Guard, at first they think it's Hunter, but when he removes the mask it's Caleb. This one can talk, and he reveals himself to be Hunter's sense of guilt. Guilt for aiding Belos, guilt for hurting palisman, and guilt of living someone else's life. The group come to the conclusion that this must be the manifested emotion that Hunter is battling, so they immediately start to fight him. The guilt complex points out that them being there will just make Hunter feel more guilty, so if they don't want to hurt him they should leave. They defy him and say they aren't leaving until Hunter can wake up again, so they are going to defeat him so that he will stop hurting Hunter. The guilt complex reminds Luz that guilt isn't easy to overcome, and even if it doesn't hurt anymore it will always be there. Luz realizes he's right, because despite feeling okay with herself she is still a little guilty she helped Belos in the first place. She realizes they can't defeat him. Willow is confused because Hunter seems happy with himself for the most part. Gus would point out he did snap at them for not understanding where he was coming from. Luz agrees that that could be because of guilt. Amity disagrees and says he's not guilty, that going out on his own would not make him feel guilty. Willow agrees, because he already did that when he left Belos, and if he was guilty he'd have years to rationalize it. Luz then points out that the Inner Hunter isn't even here fighting him, so the guilt complex can't be what's hurting him. The guilt complex agrees and says he's not hurting Hunter at the moment, he might do it later though if they don't leave. Luz defies him and says it won't be that easy to make them give up and they'll deal with him later if they have to. The guilt complex tries threatening them to leave, which makes the protective instincts jump to their defense.

Flapjack then shows up, he's surrounded by golden light. He tells the two emotions to knock it off. The entire group is happy to see him. They all show him their tattoos. He's thinks it's sweet, but he still questions what they're doing there. They tell him they're helping Hunter wake up, because he's battling an emotion. Flapjack looks downcast. They then ask him, if he's been in there this whole time, why wasn't Hunter aware of it, why didn't he talk to him. Flapjack explains that the palisman in Belos' mind were there against their will, so it wasn't a pleasant experience for him. Flapjack explains he's apart of Hunter now, and Hunter needs to learn how to live without him. Gus asks Flapjack if he wants to see Caleb again. Flapjack realizes they found out about him, but explains he'll see him again when Hunter dies, but Hunter needs him more.

The guilt complex pipes up that Hunter may be dying sooner than they think. Flapjack snaps at the other two for not getting the hexsquad out of Hunter's mind, which they tried. The group is shocked at this, and demands why his emotions haven't been fending this thing off if it's so deadly to him? They explain the protective instincts is mainly for others, not Hunter himself. The guilt complex has already dealt with the guy enough, and Inner Hunter himself told Flapjack to stay out of it, because he didn't want him dying a second time. Flapjack says he's okay with that plan only because this means he can save Hunter if he ends up being being destroyed by him. Sure, this means Flapjack will cease to exist after that, but anything to save Hunter. He couldn't save Caleb, but he will keep Hunter safe. Gus tells Flapjack that what happened to Caleb wasn't his fault.

The group then nervously asks what or....who is Hunter dealing with. Flapjack then tells them that Hunter is battling Belos' ghost.

(It shouldn't have been that easy to get rid of him and ghosts exist in this world)

Everyone is shocked by this, Luz angrily saying "What's it going to take to get rid of this guy?!" Now they know why nearly every part of Hunter didn't want them there. They contact the adults outside, freaking out that Belos' ghost is in there with them. Eda then says, "What's it going to take to get rid of this guy?!" Now some of the adults want to go in there with them, Camila wants to despite not having magic, Eda wants to, as with King, Raine, Lillith and Darius, pretty much everyone in the room; they then remember someone needs to stay outside to get the kids out, someone with magic. Luz tells them Hunter will feel bad enough with them in there, not to mention they'd have to track them down, which the group hasn't even found Hunter and Belos yet. If they need help they'll contact them later. The adults choose to trust the hexsquad as they aren't technically kids anymore, and they are all well-versed in magic.

Flapjack leads the group to where Belos emerged, the memory of Hunter being possessed. There's a big hole on the potrait where Flapjack is, and also the rest of the teens. Belos is damaging Hunter's memories. The protective instinct and Flapjack then help the teens track down the two to where they are now. They are in either of 4 different portraits. Hunter getting his sigil removed, Hunter taking an apprenticeship after graduating Hexside, the last grom he attended, and getting a Flapjack tattoo. The group decides to split up to find the pair. Amity goes into the memory of getting the sigil removed. Gus goes into where they get the tattoos, Willow goes into the grom memory and Luz goes into the graduation memory. This is where we get flashbacks. Amity reminsces on how Hunter was one of the first to get his sigil removed after her dad made the unbranding glove. How despite not having magic, it was cruel to give Hunter a sigil so he would perish on the Day of Unity. It was nice that Hunter didn't have to have that reminder of Belos anymore. Gus remembers how he had to ask his dad's permission to get a Tattoo, but the whole group wanted one to remember flapjack's sacrifice. Hunter wanted it where his sigil used to be. While the coven and everything it brought was bad, it did bring him Flapjack. He wanted to remember Flapjack over the coven, besides he was used to having something there. Willow remembers that Grom, everyone wanted Hunter to be Grom King, but he wasn't ready to face his fears so shortly after everything, so someone else took the mantle (Or he did, it's up to you). That was where Hunter and Willow shared their first kiss. In this memory, some corrosiveness is trying to eat out her memory. Belos was there. Luz remembered that Hunter took every course he could when he was at hexside, like Luz; heck it was Luz's suggestion. He mainly did theory work, if he focused hard he could try fire, earth or lightning spells, but those were hard for him. Potions were a good alternative until he got a new Palisman. Luz remembers he carved Waffles after Dell and Eda taught him how. He told Dell how much he always wanted to make palisman growing up, not just for himself, which led to Dell agreeing to take him on after graduation. Everyone was so happy for him then, especially when he got the apprenticeship. Luz was ecstatic because now he was apart of the kids with mentors club. Some corrosiveness was trying to eat away at Hunter smiling wide and the rest of the group there for him. Luz questions what's wrong with Hunter being happy/living his best life? She then hears behind her, "Because that's not the life I intended for him."

Back with the adults, they find out ghosts manifest due to resentment or some injustice they believe happened to them before they died. Knowing Belos, he would believe what was done to him was injustice. They gripe, "This is just great, we'll never be rid of Belos, because the man's delusional."

Luz sees Belos in his monstrous form. "Aw Luz, we meet again. Are you sleeping well after murdering a fellow human?" She retorts, "You weren't human, and yes I'm sleeping great." He would tell her his main target was Hunter but now he's happy he can deal with her as well. She demands to know why he's going after Hunter. He explains that since Hunter is his creation, he shouldn't get to live as he sees fit, no he should only live to how Belos designs it. Belos goes to strike her, but she's saved by a yellow blur. Hunter had gotten her out of the memory and far away from it. He demands to know why the heck in the name of titan was she in his mind? She retorts angrily that he's crazy if he thinks they wouldn't help him with whatever he's dealing with. He snaps at her, saying "the others are in here too!? Who!? How many?!" Luz explains it's just the Hexsquad, and everyone else is outside worried about him because he's not waking up. Hunter explains that when he realized he wasn't acting like himself, he went deep into his mind to find the problem and he saw Belos was trying to corrupt him, damaging his memories. He wouldn't leave until Belos was dealt with for good, he didn't want anyone else to get hurt. Luz tells him he can't deal with this on his own. Hunter shifts his mind so that he can show her a selection of memory potraits: Hunting Palisman, Eclipse Lake, Any Sport in a Storm and Labyrinth runners, he explains to her that she helped show him the world was more than just Belos, and helped him understand who he wanted to be, and eventually he met the others. They all mean the world to him, but Luz helped him escape Belos, the least he can do is return the favor. Luz sees some nearby portraits that show them all fighting together as a group. She tells him that they're stronger together and he knows that, so keeping them out of it would only involve him needlessly sacrificing himself. Hunter then thanks her for everything, Flapjack then shows up and tells Hunter and Luz that Belos found the rest of the teens. Hunter grabs Luz and they go tunneling through the ground like Willow.

Belos explains to the kids that once all of Hunter's memories are corrupted he will take over his creation and then get his revenge on all of witch kind. He knows they won't hurt Hunter, because they care about him too much. Hunter and Luz appear, Hunter yelling at him that they won't let that happen. The protective instincts show up turning into a dire wolf to attack Belos. The hexsquad regroup to come up with a plan to beat him. Hunter says if they don't succeed in defeating him, and Belos possess Hunter again, he asks them to put him down. The entire group shut this down, calling him crazy. Gus says they will defeat Belos, so they won't do that. Amity points out the last couple times they couldn't beat him, and even with him being killed he still came back. Luz deduces that they have to make Belos give up. Hunter points out that she just named the impossible. Luz says his determination is the only thing that keeps him fighting, so they have to make him realize that's it's pointless. They wonder how they're going to do that, then Luz gets an idea.

She confronts Belos and claims that his whole journey...it's all been about Caleb, hasn't it? It's why he's going after Hunter and not any of them. He screams at her, "What does she know?" She tells him that she knows he brought him back multiple times, and got rid of him multiple times, that he believes he betrayed him, that Caleb fell in love with a witch, that before then Caleb was all he had. That they were witch hunters together. Hunter then joins in, saying that he gave up witch hunting for the witch he loved and the palisman she offered him, she dazzled him with wild magic, allowed him to be a witch. Willow joins in, grabbing Inner Hunter's hand saying, she allowed him to be himself. Amity joins in saying, she gave him freedom from a world filled with fear, all he had to do was leave you behind. Belos would scream that Caleb left him, Gus would jump in, "Left you for a witch right? I don't think he really did. I saw your memories, he loved you!" Luz would point out that maybe Caleb wasn't perfect, but she understands wanting to run away, but that doesn't mean you're abandoning your family, maybe he just didn't have a way back. Hunter would ask Belos if he would have even gone with him, to a world full of witches. He claims he wouldn't have been happy there. Belos yells at him, "You didn't even try to bring me along, Caleb." Hunter would scream at him that he's not Caleb, that Caleb has been gone for a long time and Belos made sure of that. Belos would try defending himself by saying Caleb was bewitched by Evelyn and he was trying to save him. Gus would point out he tried to save him by killing his wife and unborn child, but when Caleb defended them he didn't hesitate to kill Caleb. Belos would scream out that he was trying to save him, as magic made him fight him, his own brother. Gus would add that Caleb didn't want to, but it was Belos that continued it. Luz, furious, would tell Belos he didn't truly love Caleb if he decided that killing him would be the best course of action. Amity would fling out, "You couldn't just leave him alone!" Belos would scream he couldn't leave him alone, any of them, if they took Caleb they would take others. Willow would throw out that Caleb left willingly and was happy. If anyone else left it would probably be for the same reason. Luz would ask Belos what made witches evil, that they had magic or that they weren't human? She would point out he gave himself magic and humans can't do what he can do, so he needs to be put down as well. He'd point out that he's only one who can save humanity. Hunter would point out that if he really cared about that he wouldn't have extended his life to do it himself, he would have recruited others who would have believed him in his time to help him wipe them out. Luz then claims that he just wants to be a hero, he wants to make sure his trip to save Caleb wasn't for nothing. Gus would bring up that he made the Grimwalkers so he wouldn't lose Caleb or his dream of hunting witches with him. Hunter would bring up angrily that that wasn't what any of them wanted, and he never cared about anyone but himself.

Willow would point out that if Caleb decided to leave Gravesfield to be with a human woman, Belos wouldn't have liked that either. Amity would suggest he'd probably accuse that woman of witchcraft for stealing his brother. They would end that battle rant by saying this entire journey, Belos has been angry at his brother and the witches, and he's been taking his anger out on them like a child. He just wants to be right, and he wants to feel good about everything he did. Belos would start to hallucinate here, he'd see Caleb and Evelyn as Hunter and Willow. He'd start thrashing about, claiming they're wrong, they don't know him, he'll win. He tries attacking Willow claiming she's the witch he fancies, and it makes him sick. He'd attack Hunter saying that it was just supposed to be the two of them, that he forgot that, Belos never forgot. Hunter yells at him that if he really wants Caleb back, he should go and see him because he's not here! He then rams through Belos with his flash step, breaking him apart. He breaks down crying afterwards, and all his friends are there for him. Flapjack comes to comfort him as well. They tell the adults they're ready to leave, and before they do Flapjack tells them to thank Waffles for him, for looking after Hunter.

{[EDIT] I feel to make Belos give up they might point out he already died once before, and they'll keep stopping him. They also point out the Caleb thing to make him realize that his actions are just petty at this point and he's pathetic if he keeps going.}

They leave Hunter's mind, all the adults ask if they're okay or if Belos is still a problem. Hunter then wakes up, and he thanks everyone for helping him. Darius ruffles his hair, Camilla hugs him, and even Eda and Dell get close to congratulate him for dealing with Belos, but Hunter says he couldn't have done it without his friends. He holds Willows hand, she kisses him on the cheek. Luz glomps him, telling him they're all glad he's alright. He then looks at Dell and Willow, and says no matter happens next, he'll be ready for it.

TL;DR some fanfic plot summaries. 1: Hunter finding out he's related to the Clawthornes. 2: Talking to Caleb. 3. Journey into Hunter's mind.

td 2023 s2 ep1 spoilers below the cut

(okay so I have not finished s1 but I know the general gist of what happens through mutuals posts and just the td tag lmaoo. maybe later I will actually sit down and watch the whole thing, but that time is not now.)

moving onto my thoughts of s2...

AHHHHHHHH idk how else to explain it but I absolutely LOVED the episode, and honestly I have a feeling I'll love this season, simply bc everyone is so great!!

heck even ripper and chase were tolerable, like, there weren't any fart jokes or anything, it was great!

MKULIA SWEEP???? HELL FREAKING YEAH idc if it's a friendship/alliance, I'm living in my world where they're toxic yuri

Caleb getting some much-needed character development??? I'm SO here for it, and the stuff mentioned during the episode def fits the kinda vibe I have going for him, so that's even better!! (potential caleb & emma friendship??? they can bond over kittens and of caleb being emotionally mature)

also his reactions to the team choosing was gold, I can't wait to see what A-Game he's gonna bring. I'm hoping he doesn't become a version of justin--I just want him to want to be a useful teammate and person for his team/friends/competitors and want to win as well. no overly crazy 'tda justin' villanry pls?? (I mean, I won't be averse to it if it does end up happening, but it'd be cool if things changed up this time around)

CHEMMA BROKE UP THANK FRICKING GOD, our prayers have been answered!! please please PLEASE have them stay broken up

raj & wayne on the same team again!! I was not expecting that tbh, but I'm curious to see where this goes

rajbow is so adorable, like bowie not even letting chris finish before he immediately picks raj first for his team is so 🥹

ngl chase is still a dumbass but now that chemma is out of the way, I mean it affectionately, I can't bring myself to hate any of the characters and that trend isn't going to stop here. that moment when he ran at granny hatchet and bowie was like "I don't believe it, I think he's gonna make it" like that scene was insane

damien is amazing as always, no words need to be said. manifesting a final two involving him

NICHELLE. FUCKING NICHELLE. GOD I CANNOT ARTICULATE HOW MUCH I ADORE HER HERE!! saving the best for last goddammit, I love her so so so so much, omfg the way she slayed the challenge, pls I'm so hyped for her character development this season, I can't wait for the other contestants to eat their words abt her

axel trying to 'be nice' ("i'm a work in progress" yes you are but you're doing amazing) but acting like an ass to ripper is something I live for. "I'm not following you, we're running in the same direction!" LMAOOOO

the fact that priya doesn't hold any resentment toward her parents still irks me, but I still love her character and I'm excited to see what's in store for her

GRANNY HATCHET SLAYED, 'NUFF SAID

I'm still hoping for some axelle content, but I'm more than happy with the mkulia servings we got

I'm lowkey interested in scary girl's change of character. I feel like this wont be the last we see of her--will she be like an amy and swim back to the island to enact revenge? or will she be like ezekiel and live on the island in secret? or will she be a secret third thing? I sure as heck don't know but I can't wait to find out!! her parting words def seem ominous enough to imply something

speaking of, scary girl's change of character and when she talked abt how she became "normal" everyone's reactions were sending me lmaooo

bowie going "you're never right" to chase but is the one to choose chase on his team, like yes dude frrr that frenemy whiplash was wack lmaoo I love it

same with bowie choosing julia, like yes we love to see two manipulative competitive strategists banding together

on a different note, I wonder what will come of bowie and emma's friendship from s1 and how that broke apart. maybe they could rekindle it in s2? hmmm

zee and their suitcase of sodas 😭

"she's an animal" OKAY MK TONE IT DOWN (pls don't, actually pls continue doing it) YOU'RE NOT HELPING MY MKULIA CASE HERE

millie being priya's first pick >>>

"what strategy? you just stop and run, it's not rocket surgery" 😭 I used to dislike ripper, but if he continues on like this, that opinion will def change. it's only been the first episode and I already don't dislike him anymore so-

MORE MKULIA P L E A S E IM HOPING

chris is still 'tdi chris' aka the b e s t chris imo, and I'm here for it!! also chef and chris's dynamic is still spot-on

in conclusion, im so very excited for what this season will bring!! in case you didn't realize, I LOVED the first episode!

Can't believe the canon versions of the Gilded Family are manifesting just to mock Belos. The main Gilded family would be proud

Everyone can be the Revenge Squad if they all die for realsies!

I am happy to announce that "Belos getting haunted by manifestations of his brother and grimwalkers" will be replaced by "irl Caleb and Grimwalkers hiding out from the Collector staring at him" in Gilded (not really)

For 👏🏼 The 👏🏼 Future

Okay, first of all, a good friend of mine recommended (and by that I mean bugged me until I caved) to watch the Owl House, and I half wished that they hadn’t. I now have a constant feeling of frustration and hatred toward Disney for canceling the show. Anyway…

Well, I’m here so might as well make the best of it. Random voice-acting bits that I ADORED: At the very beginning when King said, “goodbye” after the door exploded, and right after that when the Collector said, “I’m free, I’m free! I haven’t felt this good in forever and ever! It’s like the whole world is singing!” It’s just *chef’s kiss*

Also when Camila screamed after sitting down on the ground-eyeballs. It sounded so authentic and throat-ripping! (Should I be happy about that?)

Obviously there’s a lot more than that but I don’t feel like typing it out. Okay, but one more thing: I first watched it when I had by earbuds in, and I almost threw up when I heard Belos slooching and slawching around. It was disgusting and amazing.

I didn’t know that Huntlow was kind of a love-or-hate kind of thing in the fandom. I personally…llliiiiikkkeeeeee it. I get that Willow was one of the first people to show Hunter kindness and I love both of their characters but I just can’t get into it. Of course all characters and relationships are going to be rushed but at least Lumity had some semblance of development. Ugh, not their fault.

Eda and Lilith’s new hairstyles = yes. Raine’s new mullet = yes even though Belos is now currently eating away at their flesh.

I would feel bad that Odalia is a servant to the Collector but…it’s Odalia. Come now, let’s be real here.

Okay, I’ve seen numerous fanarts of how Flapjack’s powers could manifest in Hunter, and I love his teleportation ability but…red wings. RED WINGS PEOPLE!! *cough* anyway

Let’s address the elephant in the room. No, not Liz’s palisman. No, not Willow’s emotional scenes. No, not the Collector being a lonely, abandoned little guy. *deep intake of breath* MATT THOLOMULE PEOPLE WHAT THE SHI-

I will never spell it “Mat Tholomule.” Never. Steve is one of my favorite characters (he’s like my…sixth favorite), and I really want some scenes with him and Matty since they’re half-brothers and we were robbed of their backstory but it’s probably not important enough to include in the last episode. Steve Tholomule…

I adore Luz’s palisman, though I like the egg’s color scheme more. Hey, I’m not complaining though. I just have one problem…Stringbean brings up bad memories of expired baked beans that had been left in the sun too long. No hate, duh. Her lil’ kitten ears are so cute!

Boscha is a simp for Amity…

Kikimora isn’t dead…

My predictions for the last episode (*distant sobbing*): Raine is going to die, but the Collector is going to revive them. The dude has Belos eating away at them, and they doesn’t have a Flapjack. (…is that grammar?)

Owlbert, Lilith’s palisman, and the Bat Queen are going to fight for the Boiling Isles!! They’re nowhere to be seen, and they’re way too important to leave out.

The Collector and King are going to team up against Belos in a fight of Gods!! And the only way for the good guys to prevail will be the Owl Crew!

Caleb will talk and his voice will be Hunter’s. Maybe if/when Belos dies all the Golden Guards of the past and Caleb will come to thank Hunter or Caleb talks to Belos as he’s dying.

Belos will go berserk against Eda since with her new hairstyle, she’s the spitting image of Evelyn.

There will be a lot of crying involved, both for the characters and the audience.

My hopes and dreams:

Steve and Matt scene! (Highly unlikely)

Stringbean being OP as crap and using her snakeshifting ability in battle by stinging as a scorpion, blowing flames as a dragon, and flying as a bat. (Pretty likely)

A “some years in the future” scene/ a flash forward scene. (Dear GOD I HOPE SO)

okay thats it *owl house voice* byeeeeeeeeeeee

Alright, time for the ＭＡＳＴＥＲＰＯＳＴ✨

✴︎All about Eclipse✴︎

Ref sheet:

Basic info:

Height - 9’5 feet

Age - ~300 (full adult in demon years)

Voiceclaim (Eng) - Caleb from Blood (1997)

Favorite food - Raw steak (believes overcooking meat is a crime)

———

Bio:

Basically this demon got fed up with the underworld and revolted to the point of a war breaking out, so he’s completely rogue and definitely a little unhinged. He managed to escape and now lives like a drifter on the surface world.

Classic edgy brooding gunslinger who intimidates most people and is proud of that. Totally someone you’d see in a bar with his legs kicked up on the counter.

He’s an asshat and constantly pissy. Can and will beat the shit out of you if you annoy him. Usual method of quickly dealing with irritation is to throw one of his steel-toed boots, aimed right for the face. And yes he is super fucking strong and can throw bodies across the room no problem. He’s also immortal but can still get injured, and can only be truly killed by other otherworldly beings (i.e. other demons, angels, gods, etc.)

He still wears his helmet he used in battle for a couple reasons, partly since he’s uncertain if he’s got a bounty on him or not, but mostly cos he’s trying to distance himself from his identity as a demon. He does have low self esteem and a lot of unresolved issues (y’know since he was literally a servant of the devil and a battle survivor). Totally bottles up his feelings to the point they manifest in anger. Poor guy needs therapy and a good cry session.

But he still cares. He hides how soft he can really be. Only fully relaxes around people he trusts with his life. Getting past his tough shell rewards with a guy who’s got a passionate soul and a warm heart.

———

Trivia:

-He has his own insignia which he used during his revolt

-His eye turns red with fury

-His blood is black and tar-like

-When he’s happy his tail wags, and he does purr

-He eats raw steak as a way of weaning off the urge from being forced to feast on the souls of the damned when he served hell

-At one point he had an angel counterpart named Solar Eclipse (his previous full name was Lunar Eclipse) but he’s pretty much outdated and a dead oc now

-His prime design inspiration - the music video for the Vocaloid song ‘Alter Ego’ by Misumi

(Also I have no idea how or why this happens, but pretty much every time I’ve shown him off there’s always at least someone who finds him cute and attractive? Like there has been legitimate thirst for my guy before and it’s slightly concerning given this man will severely injure you if you aggravate him enough. I mean yes he’s a charming softy once you win him over but that’s near impossible.)

———

A few songs for him:

Vita // ビータ(Vocaloid version) - Kairiki Bear (Theme song)

Believer - Imagine Dragons

Alter Ego // オルターエゴ - Misumi

Animal I Have Become - Three Days Grace

Guilty Man - Nik Ammar

Trick or treat!: Karen baaaaaarely fuckin survives Jedi Night instead

Okay I admit that autocorrect gave me pause when I read this half-awake this morning. Happy Halloween 🧡🧡🧡

~~~~~~~~~~

Kanan Jarrus knew he was going to die. Maybe the Force had seen fit to give him a gentle premonition. Maybe the giant wolf that had been lurking in the edges of his awareness was some kind of manifestation of his own mortality.

Or maybe he’s just been on enough of these damn fool rescue missions to recognize that his odds of coming out of this one alive are roughly slim to none.

He has no regrets. This world, this galaxy, needs Hera—and Ezra, and Sabine, and Chopper and Zeb and the entire rebellion—more than it needs Kanan Jarrus. Or Caleb Dume.

So it’s quite the surprise when he channels the energy he’d been using to hold back the flames into a shove that sent the little shuttle lurching sideways to safety—and his own feet leave the metal surface at the same time. It should have been the explosion, disintegrating the fuel tank under him and him along with it, but instead a grip like a desperate grasping hand closes tight around his body. His head jerks painfully back with the force of it—he could’ve sworn he’d taught his padawan restraint somewhere along the way—then forward hard enough to clack his teeth together as the explosion blasts past him. Pain lances through his skull, and blackness swallows him.

***

Kanan had awoken in more than a few med bays in his time. He swims up into consciousness slowly and reluctantly. There’s no moment that he questions if he’s alive; if your back is allowed to hurt this much in the afterlife then he is going to file a strongly worded complaint with the universe at large. Combine the pain, the fuzzy-headed feeling of drugs, and the sweet slimy smell of bacta, and you get med bay.

And there’s someone sitting next to him—he’s on his front, he vaguely registers, but his back still seems to be on fire—with slender fingers wrapped around his left hand. Come to think of it, that might be the only part of him that doesn’t hurt.

“What. Happened?” He mumbles around his fuzzy dry tongue, and those fingers tighten suddenly.

“You’re awake.” Hera’s voice is tight with relief. “You have some burns.”

“Some?” He’s tempted to ask how much of his skin is even left, since it doesn’t feel like it could be much.

“They’re pretty bad,” Ezra’s voice chimes in from behind Hera. “Looks like you’ll be sitting this one out, Kanan.”

“Good, I need a rest,” Kanan mumbles. He’s already exhausted, real sleep stealing over him even with the amount of pain that he’s in. He registers Ezra’s hand—lightsaber calluses on his fingers—joining Hera’s.

“I’m sorry, master. I wasn’t fast enough. But I can handle this one on my own.”

Kanan wants to agree. Wants to say how proud he is of his padawan. And also scold him for doing something so reckless. But his mouth can’t form the sounds. So he lets himself drift, flows in the Force like water.

Who knows, by the time he wakes up again his damn stubborn padawan will probably have liberated Lothal through force of will alone.

#my writing #it’s been a very long time since I used that tag huh #I Hope this is at least a little fun tho!

Are you familiar with Gravity Falls? Because I’m imaging your AU version of Hollow Mind sort of playing out like the GF episode, “Not What He Seems”, with Hunter in the role of Mabel and Luz in the role of Dipper, except there’s no happy ending to be found here…there’s a few other parallels I could think of, but I won’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it!

Familiar with gravity falls? I HYPERFIXATED ON IT MULTIPLE TIMES EEE! I started watching it when I was a wee six year old and now… I’m old. Yeah gravity falls turning ten makes me feel sixty despite the fact I’m still very much a teenager. The wonders of cartoons making you feel older than you are.

But also, yeah! I did take some inspiration from Not What He Seems when looking at how the kids might react to each memory, especially with Eda on the walkie talkie even suggesting that he might not be what he seems after hearing what the kids are describing to her. It’s that slow build up of reveals all leading up to the final nail in the coffin. I’m still deciding what memories they might see specifically, such as childhood memories, the knife fight, and the ones we see in canon, but it’ll definitely have a similar vibe to NWHS.

I mean, it even has the uncle swearing that everything he’s doing, he’s doing for the sake of the family and there’s a brother plot twist. It was destiny!

Speaking of brother plot twist, I have toyed with the idea of a manifestation of emotions actually being in Philip’s mind - not just the palismen. It’s a manifestation of Caleb that represents his denial and shifting attitude to the isles. He’s there alongside Philip as they try to keep the kids safe from the monster.

I digress though. There are certainly a lot of parallels here and I appreciate you bringing this up because it’s been on mind too lately wisnkeenk

Rest in peace the happy ending part though, we get angst and pain instead.

first lines game

rules: post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to ao3. (sort by date posted.) if you have less than 10 fics posted, post what you have!

Okay, so while I do have enough fics to do this on AO3 some of them are from like 3 years ago and MORE so I'm gonna pull out some drafts as well cause imma be posting them anytime now...

thank you @m-a-w-a for tagging me in this game, I'm afraid I won't be passing this forward since I don't know many writers on Tumblr like that anymore. <3

It Was An Honest Loss When the procession came to a halt, a woman stepped out of the most rich carriage. Her dress seemed like an extension of it: a plated silver tua sin with bismuth accents structuring her shoulders and cascading mosaic down her sash. It built a powerful and aggressive silhouette, signaling her origins, her status.

I Ain't Done It is said that, once a certain threshold of pain is reached, the body simply cannot keep record of it anymore. Had Pete been asked about it, he would’ve said that emotional pain counted too, because there was no other explanation for what was happening.

Shrikes and Thorns Vegas had gotten used to the hollow feeling in his chest. Because when he was a child and found that his mother had died, his heart followed along. As he grew up and his father was never happy with him, it had started to rot, decaying with every hit, the words laying putrid on it. By the time he was an adult there was nothing but a black ooze that smelled of death in his chest, and Vegas did not care. It did not hurt, he'd gotten used to it. Then Pete came along.

I'll Swear That I loved You Pain was the first thing Pete noticed. Unsurprising, seeing as that was most of his existence these days. This time, it felt like pulsing from the right side of his head, it felt like his whole body was throbbing under the tension of it. He felt heavy, slow, and most of him was hurting. All the other aches filtered in later, coming to him like water leaking through a cracked bowl.

The Ghost of Us To say that Izuku was excited would be an understatement. Electricity was buzzing under his skin, not in the way that One For All did. This was like waves that made his head feel light, had butterflies manifest in his stomach, and added a bounce to his step.

Very Special Geralt wasn’t the most emotionally intelligent man, he could own up to that.

There's a Second Wind Coming Twenty-two years was a long time. It was most of his life, it was his entire adult life, and it was almost entirely dedicated to Geralt of Rivia. A foolish endeavour, really, since Geralt never even spoke the word “friend” out loud.

Something so magic about you The first time it happened Essek knew he was being used. There was no questioning it. The Mighty Nein had needed help, and they had been particularly irksome with their muddy information. So Caleb tried to soothe his nerves. In retrospect Essek would wonder if he’d been quite so obvious about his regards for the wizard. The drow would look at his actions and wonder if he’d lingered too long on Caleb when addressing the Nein, if maybe he’d been too accomodating with him. What had given him away?

Fake It Till You Make It (draft) "Look, this is flattering, really I am honoured," Porsche said. "But I don't see you in the same way, and I think maybe we should stay apart for a bit, because Kinn's really not okay with it, and-" "Oh, you think- no, it's not-" How was Vegas supposed to think of an excuse quick enought? He wasn't good at improv, he was used to plans and layers and thinking things through! "I mean, I want you to like me, but not like-like me." "Really? But... why?" "Well... think... who is your roomate?" Welp. Vegas guessed he was going to have a crush on Pete for a while now.

For Your Love “No, you wanna know what the real psycho shit is?” Porsche asked, his voice a vibrato of laughter.

The Best Trans Love Comes from Happy Thoughts About Love

Many trans-attracted guys and transgender women ask me how to get love they want. Some aren’t ready for my answers. Others, become clients. Those folks not only live happier lives, they eventually get what they want.

They get a lover, or a job. They stop thinking of killing themselves. In short, they become happy.

Sometimes clients will ask why what they want isn’t happening. I tell them it is happening. When the client can’t see it happening, it means they’re telling stories which block their perception.

Whether we perceive our progress or not makes all the difference. Every thing we want does manifest. But often, important “manifestations” slip by our awareness. For example, most transgender women will not celebrate the thought “My joyful, attractive lover is on the way”. They’re too focused on not having that joyful attractive lover. Or they complain about men they’re meeting.

Chasers, scared guys and guys just looking for dick pics abound. When they fill transgender women’s dating lives, it’s easy thinking they’re the only men out there. It’s true for trans-attracted men too. When trans-attracted men can’t find a transgender woman who will take them seriously, or can’t find any in their area, it’s easy to say “there are no transgender women near me.”

The problem is, whatever we look at or talk about becomes our reality. So when a guy shows up representing an improvement on the kinds of guys the woman usually meets, she’ll look at that guy through her past experience. She will look over the improvement. Then say “nothing is changing”, or, like a recent client: “I always meet these kinds of guys.”

And when a transgender woman appears in the man’s neighborhood, he’ll literally not see her.

Incremental improvement

Meanwhile, improvement, evidenced in the new guy, still exists. So does the transgender woman living in our neighborhood. Just because we don’t see them, doesn’t mean they’re not real. But if our perception stays stuck on past negative experience, then for all intents and purposes, they’re not real. We’ll keep creating more negative experiences instead of seeing what we want coming true.

Which explains why so many transgender women and trans-attracted men struggle with everything from negative self image to negative dating experiences. Or no dating experiences at all. Loneliness, depression and sadness or dismal online dating results all indicate chronic focus on past negative experience.

But something cool happens the moment a transgender woman or trans-attracted guy changes their perspective. In that moment, a new dimension shows itself. In that new dimension, improvement shines everywhere. It was always there. But with our changed perspective, we now see it. We see our men getting better. And we start seeing transgender women everywhere.

We change our perspective through stories we tell about what we’re looking at. So long as we tell stories about things we don’t like, we keep seeing those things. We keep experiencing them too. But when we focus on improvement and talk about how improved our life becomes, we support more improvement showing up in our perspective.

Evidence abounds

For example, one of my clients, who I’ll call Karen, dates exclusively online. These days she only does so when feeling lonely or depressed. That’s improvement. Another improvement though, shows up in men she’s meeting. Karen is on her 52d week of practice. She’s improved her stories a lot. But she still has many other stories needing cleaning up.

Nevertheless, she acknowledges small improvements in men she meets online. She really wants to meet men in person. But for now, the story “I can’t find a man locally” dominates her attention. So she doesn’t notice when men compliment her or strike up conversations with her, which they do often whenever she goes out.

Karen didn’t agree when I told her men she meets online have improved. After detailed analysis, however, she couldn’t disagree. The men still ghost her. Or they are early in their trans-attraction and thus unwilling to meet in person. But Karen had to agree, they improved in terms of their willingness to talk with her, the things they had in common with her, and how they treated her.

Noticing incremental improvement is crucial. That’s because that’s how all manifestations happen, including relationship manifestations. It’s also crucial because noticing that improvement adds momentum behind the improvement. Without noticing the improvement, or worse, noticing no improvement, we perpetuate what we’re getting; whether that’s sucky men, crazy transgender women, or no relationship nibbles at all.

How to not get your true love

Appreciating incremental improvement also holds back impatience. Impatience happens when we overly focus on the relationship we want. We recognize it’s not there. Then lose sight of the incremental improvement. Impatience tells us we’re creating a reality we don’t want. Usually that means more of what we now have.

It’s also important knowing what “manifestations” look like. Impatience is a manifestation. So is recognizing the impatience. Doing something about it is a manifestation too. Appreciating ourselves for doing that is too. It’s important to understand everything is a manifestation. It’s important because even an emotional improvement is progress. And going from impatience to appreciation represents an improvement.

Anyone wanting a relationship they think they can’t have stands amidst manifestations telling them something they really want to know. Those manifestations include negative emotions they feel while standing where they stand. I help clients practice everything I shared in this post. Not only do clients live happy lives as a result, they also eventually find the guy or girl of their dreams.

It doesn’t happen in an instant. It happens gradually. The good news is, on the way to that ultimate relationship, my clients find their lives becoming increasingly happier. Want what they have? Contact me.

Bio’s & Verses

Verse: Main Name: Etta Fiske Age: 24 Occupation: Music Teacher Location: Long Beach, CA

TW: Domestic Abuse, Suicide mention, & miscarriage

Etta Fiske was born into what appeared to be a normal American family. Her parents, Martin and Arianna Fiske were an older couple, but very much in love. It was obvious to them from an early age that their little daughter had a gift for music. Wanting to nurture that aspect her parents enrolled her in piano lessons at the age of five. While her parents loved her they were overprotective which evolved into Etta being very anti-social. Throughout school, she kept to herself, something that would eventually lead to a crippling anxiety. It would often manifest itself at school, or anytime she was nervous. The young girl had a difficult time looking people in the eye and often kept hers downcast. As she grew up she was bullied by her peers always finding a flaw from her pale skin to her red hair. If that wasn’t bad enough Etta didn’t care too much about keeping up with the popular styles and would just assume be happy with clothes picked up from a thrift store or a garage sale which only added to the misery at school as they often teased her about being poor; despite her parents being middle class. By the time she hit high school she was quite tall and awkward as puberty seemed to hold out to the last possible minute. If the cruel ridicule was difficult in middle school by the time she hit high school it was too much to bear. When laying down at night all she could hear was the shouts and taunts. Eventually, those voices won as she tried to commit suicide her senior year.

She was found in the girl’s bathroom at school by the gym teacher and rushed to a hospital. Initially, they were going to send her home after the suicide watch was dropped. The attempt made things tense between her and her parents, and when she returned back to school she heard many whispers in the halls that she had done it for attention. Etta continued to struggle, but finished out and graduated with her class.

It was over the summer she took time to carefully measure her next step. She knew music was the one thing she loved and was appreciated for by others. Feeling the itch to get out of town she headed two hours north to a small school. It was there something remarkable happened; the bullying which seemed to relentless back home had completely vanished. Unfortunately, her past made her feel socially inept to handle new people who tried to befriend her which only created an anxiety of a different kind. Deciding to work on herself and become more involved in life, she began to see a therapist by the name Caleb Moreno. He was immediately taken with her quiet, gentle nature in a matter of months he began to pursue her romantically during their sessions. She had never had a man pay so much attention to her, aside from her father. It stirred something in her, and for the first time, he made her feel as if she was deserving of love and affection. Caleb could give her something she had never had before – a sexual relationship. She was hesitant to take that step with him but he did not give up, and after time she decided he was the one, giving her everything to him.

After that night Caleb changed though. He started to become possessive and began to track her time and insisted she move into his home. Much to the credit of the controlling therapist she was not only getting used to being social, and enjoying it, but now that Caleb had her he didn’t want to share. It started with yelling but would become something much darker. Her love for him waned, and she made attempts to leave him to her dismay and pain as he would beat her each time she stood up for herself. Eventually, she obtained a degree in music and a certification for teaching, but he made it very clear she was not to make use of it. A few years later when she found out she was pregnant, Etta used it as an opportunity to perhaps rekindle what she and Caleb once had, but the man insisted the baby was not his beating her so badly she miscarried. Etta’s hopes of having a child and a person in her life that would love her without condition were ripped from her that night.

Once healed, she went to see her father. Her mother had already passed and Martin was getting on in years. He wanted so badly to help his precious little girl that he did the only thing he could think of. He told her the truth about having a brother out in California and told her to run as fast as she could. His name was Johnnie Fiske and he was pretty sure he still lived in Long Beach.

Making an attempt to do something for herself in this life, Etta has fled Florida on the search for the brother she never knew she had. She waited till Caleb went into the office to pack up her 94’ Jetta with some clothes and a few small cherished belongings, her kitten Brahms, and a face full of bruises. Leaving mostly everything she ever knew behind she actually has hope in the future because she is finally making choices based on the things she wants, and not what everyone else expected of her. For the first time on her own the only thing she has is a name and an address

Verse: Post-Apocalyptic Z-Day Name: Etta Fiske Age: 27 Occupation: Farmer/Botanist Location: Mid-West

TW: Suicide Mention

While she would never admit to before Z-day happened, growing up on a farm certainly had its advantages. As a youth, she couldn’t wait to be away from the life that woke her at the crack of dawn with the intention of getting chores done before leaving for school. A lot of that time was spent daydreaming of faraway places like bustling cities or a suburbia really any place but the farm. When the time came she ran off to university in one of those big cities with the expectation of studying chemistry, but found herself graduating with a degree in botany: it was just in her blood.

Postgrad she worked in a hydroponics plant but grew bored within a few years. Her disenchantment with life was only coupled further after a failed engagement. When her mother sent word that her father’s health was failing she knew it was time to head home. Part of her was content that her father was gone before the disease spread throughout the world. Etta and her mother stayed held up along with others that had flocked to the farm for a bit; however, as their numbers grew they were having difficulty sustaining.

On a quiet morning, Etta returned from her chores and was surprised to not find her mom in the kitchen cooking up breakfast. Heading towards her bedroom she stopped outside the door and knocked. When nothing was heard she tried to swing open the door but felt some resistance. Finding it concerning she pushed harder and squeezed herself in the space allotted. Much to her horror, she saw her mother’s body swaying-hanging from a rope. It was too horrific to even scream Etta just shut down and shook her head as warm tears fell from her eyes. Walking over she sat down on her mother’s unslept-in bed. It was all too much.

Etta walked out of the room and out the house and grabbed a motorbike which one of the survivors had ridden in on. She left that farm that morning and has no intention of heading back.

Chapter 7 (Karoleena)

The excitement of the trip had faded with the Humboldt now in locked-dock. There was nothing more to look at or marvel over; there was no more time to run fabricated scenarios past unsuspecting bartenders. There was simply the idle nervousness manifesting in the unconscious shifting of her weight from foot to foot and her fingers rubbing over her thumbs.

Karoleena once again looked down at the purple-black splotches on the skirt she had decided to wear for the reception. It was the least stained of those Mwaxanare’s staff had provided her after arriving in Cholit’s port. The steady diet of things to tamper and disassemble that had flowed through the old Imperial providential residence had manifested on all her clothes, manifestations the Imperial Governesses would be quicker to Banish than an Arbiter a banshee.

Karoleena kept her eyes fixed forward on the exposed locking mechanism of the disembarkation hatch, tracing its simple mechanisms with her eyes as a means of keeping herself disengaged from the small argument Mwaxanare and Duvanith were having behind her on Imperial etiquette and in what order bowing or curtseying should occur in.

Duvanith’s explanation was correct, of course, having been a repository for that type of information for Karoleena for years. Still, Mwaxanare’s point that she also had a Title that should be considered in Duvanith’s‘ etiquette logic problem’ was also correct.

The type of dresses Mwaxanare wore also lacked the volume for a proper Castle curtsey, but she was sure Duvanith would get there.

Click

A metal-on-metal echo flowed from the hallway opposing them, cutting Duvanith’s point regarding ‘Imperial recognition of titled status’ short, followed by the rustling of her jacket, perhaps placing herself to intervene should the source of the clicking be hostile. But why would it be? Had something hostile been aboard, it would have attacked them thousands of feet in the air, not when a cadre of Royal Guards and Arbiters was feet away through less than two inches of steel.

Instead of looking towards Duvanith’s change in posture, Karoleena looks to the source of the sounds as it draws nearer. Eventually, a figure rounds the corner dressed in a stretched and pressed white military uniform, his Valor accolade and Gearpilot badge gleaming on his chest. It was Caleb Beckwith. He seemed in good spirits, happy to be back home, having taken time to be sure hair was far better kempt than when they had first met; the only sign of the wound Duvanith had inflicted on him was a finely crafted cane that had been the source of the clicking.

“Caleb.” She beams at him, “You look well; I hadn’t realized you were aboard with us.” He bows the best he can with his injury before responding.

“They placed me in a very fine cabin, Your Majesty. I didn’t have much incentive to walk around.” He wags his cane slightly to emphasize his point.

“How is your leg doing?” Karoleena asks empathetically; behind her, she hears the slightest groans from Duvanith, which dredged up a chide from their childhood.

‘You just think the uniforms look good on the boys because they actually cut them to fit them right.’ An observation usually coupled with a playful shove. She was probably correct; Caleb looked quite handsome in the ceremonial dress uniform the Embassy must have given him compared to the duty uniform Mwaxanare and Duvanith had dragged him out of the jungle in, though she wondered.

‘Who was Duvanith to make that judgment anyways?’

Clunk.

The sound draws her eyes away from Caleb and back to the mechanical fixing of the disembarkation door, which had articulated and retracted the locking bars from the frame of the ballonliner. She nervously shifts her weight and looks over her shoulder at Mwaxanare and Duvanith.

“Ready?”

Duvanith nodded semi-confidently; Mwaxanare provided her no more than a glance in acknowledgment. She must have been nervous, far more nervous than Karoleena herself was.

The door lowered, allowing the yellow-brown lights of Askerstad’s Middle City to flood into the ballonlier. As the disembarkation door was laid flat and the Airship authority employees worked to lay the ramp over it, Karoleena surveyed the platform.

‘Eight people, less than expected, but for the late hour, reasonable.’

“Your Majesty is free to disembark.” One of the Ramp layers said with a deep bow. So as to not keep anyone waiting, she pressed forward down the ramp, straining her eyes against the city’s lights to determine the identities of her greeting party.

“Your Majesty!” A familiar voice gushes as one of the smaller figures takes a few steps forward, extending their arms as she exits the ramp. Karoleena squints against the lights as her eyes continue to adjust.

“Adrielle?” She asks before the figure fully comes into view and embraces her; she hugs back, tucking her head over her friend’s shoulder while getting a soft bop in the face by Adrielle’s brown braided ponytail. Her eyes now adjusted, she peers over her friend’s shoulder to the rest of the greeting party: Four Royal Guards and two Arbiters in their Iconic steel blue frocks. One of them was a giant of a man dwarfing the other more spindly figure whose frock had been modified with a large, heavy hood. Next to them was a woman with soft round features and a blonde braid crown wearing a dress similar in color to the one her face was currently pressed up against Adrielle’s Attendant, most likely.

“I heard about Ed. I’m so sorry.” Adrielle said, squeezing the hug tighter.

“Thanks, I’m alright,” Karoleena said, squeezing back; it both was and wasn’t a lie. Adrielle releases her and steps back; Karoleena watches her give Caleb a once over before moving on to Duvanith.

“Duvanith Elenos? Really? You haven’t aged a day.” Adrielle says in a far more forced attempt at pleasantries.

“I’m an elf, Adrielle. It comes with the fucking territory.” Duvanith says flatly in response; Adrielle’s expression shifts slightly with the vulgarity, and she looks to Karoleena and asks.

“Did she always talk like that?”

“She did”-” I did,” She and Duvanith answer in concert.

‘Though maybe less so in front of people.’ Karoleena concedes to herself.

“Well, I’ll have to tell Gifford you’re back. I’m sure he’d love to catch up.”

Gifford was Adrielle’s husband and had been Edmerton’s Footman at Court; he and Duvanith had spent a lot of time together during the initial stages of her and Edmerton’s romance before she had Duvanith dismissed.

“I’m good, really.” Duvanith clarifies. Before Duvanith could launch into how Karoleena knew she felt about Gifford, a booming voice cuts into their reunion.

“Your Majesty, if I could have you and Lady Adrielle come back and join Lady Lucille so we could check your traveling companions, it would be much appreciated.” The mountain-of-an-Arbiter’s voice pierced through the night.

Karoleena turned and panned looks across Mwaxanare, Caleb, and Duvanith before listening to the Arbiter’s instructions and following Adrielle back towards the other woman who had now been indirectly identified as ‘Lady Lucille.’ Once they were clear of the ramp, the taller Arbiter waved one of his large hands slightly, and the spindly hooded partner began to walk forward.

The Arbiter’s gait was unwieldy, looking much like an over-liquored Lord moments before being pulled from the court chamber; with each step and bob, an ominous clicking sound emanated from beneath their frock. Despite the unsteady appearance, the Arbiter never once fell or faltered on approach to the three she had left behind at the ramp; they were unlike any Arbiter that Karoleena had ever seen. The tall one was clearly a half-giant, and that was irregular enough, but this figure that at best looked like a part of a marionette show, a far throw from the dashing Arbiters that had roamed the Castle in her youth.

As the unstable Arbiter began to circle Caleb, Duvanith, and Mwaxanare, they drew their hooded head close to each of them, unnervingly oscillating it back and forth as though they were a librarian reading in detail or a sommelier taking in wine's notes.

“She’s prettier than the papers make her out to be,” Adrielle says quietly as the Arbiter circled Mwaxanare. “Is she as dangerous?”

“I haven’t been keeping up with the papers,” Karoleena admits as the Arbiter retreats from her three traveling companions and gives its half-Giant partner an indecipherable hand sign.
