Okay so here come the Enola Holmes requests; hear me out, Tewksbury best friends to lovers where the reader makes things out of paper and tries to teach Tewksbury how to make paper flowers when he asks. He SUCKS at it, but he's head over heels for her and so he spends hours alone practicing and he makes her this cute bouquet out of newspaper and maybe it has like a little love confession note or something in it idk idk but my brain is in overdrive rn
YES this idea is literally the cutest thing ever to me, hope i did it justice!

Tumblr media
Tewkesbury doesn’t know that he’s lost until he sees her. It’s been too long since he’s been able to get away like this, trade off the drama of the House of Lords and every rule he’s expected to follow for the actual thrills of life. It may be his destiny to grow so deeply entrenched in politics that he stops seeing the difference between his working life and the rest of his waking one, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it.
Needless to say, the second he was able to skive off another day spent around the members of Parliament, Tewkesbury did so with a flourish. He could think of nothing better than tracking down his best friend and spending the rest of the weekend annoying her without pause, but now that he’s actually here, he finds himself coming up short. It was supposed to be nothing out of the ordinary, these couple of days away, but yet when Tewkesbury stares at the girl who’s been like a sister all of these years, he suddenly wishes that connection would disappear in his head forever.
The problem is that the girl who looks up at him with a smile when she sees him looks different somehow, as if spending a mere month or two out of her company has been enough to completely rewrite Tewkesbury’s entire mental picture of her. Do her eyes always shine like that when she sees him, or is that new? Has he always wanted to smile like mad whenever they’re together, or is that the lingering affection of some new affliction Tewkesbury doesn’t think he could name if he tried?
It shakes him to the core, this sudden feeling. One moment, he’s rounding the corner to meet up with a friend, just that, and then he’s looking at this girl and all he can think about is that he never wants to leave her side again. Politics can go to hell without him. Tewkesbury only has an excuse to leave the government buildings for this weekend, but he wishes it could be forever.
He doesn’t have all of eternity to ponder this, though. Y/N L/N races up to him when their eyes meet, and then he’s standing before her, breathless and wondering how on earth he is supposed to go about as if nothing has changed when he’s pretty sure that every possible thing has.
Y/N, however, seems utterly devoid of the miraculous transformation currently wreaking havoc in between Tewkesbury’s ribs. “It’s wonderful to see you,” she beams, “I was beginning to think that you’d gone ahead and moved into the Palace of Westminster forever. I haven’t seen you in years.”
Tewkesbury finds it within himself to scoff at this blatant lie. “That’s absurd. I saw you not seven weeks ago.”
Y/N arches a disbelieving brow. “Yes, seven weeks ago. That’s a perfectly ordinary time to go without visiting your best friend even once, you traitor.”
Tewkesbury clasps a hand to his heart, feigning hurt. “Cruel. I have never once been a traitor to you.”
He doesn’t know that he could, now. He can’t imagine a world in which he is not following her around, either in endless loops around the London streets or in constant cycles of daydreams in which Tewkesbury is able to put an actual name to the emotions currently driving him mad.
Y/N grins. “I’m glad to hear it. I was worried for a second there, you know.”
“No you weren’t,” Tewkesbury laughs.
“Perhaps not,” Y/N says with an elaborate shrug, “but I like to keep you on your toes. It makes for a more dramatic weekend if we’re both slinging accusations left and right.”
“Not as fun, though,” he argues.
Y/N concedes this point through a solemn nod. “No, not as fun. I’ve never had to worry about fun with you, though.”
She looks up at him with a smile, and Tewkesbury thinks that his heart might explode out of his chest. He wants to say something, needs to say something, but all he can manage is–
“You know what would be fun? If you showed me how to make those paper crafts. I know you can do it, I’ve seen you make tons of stuff from paper before. It’s really cool, and I missed seeing you do it. I missed–”
He cuts off the hopeless flood of words before he can say something incriminating like that he missed her, but Tewkesbury gets the feeling that he’s already said too much. Also too little at the same time; Y/N promises him that they’ll get to make the paper shapes as requested, but he swears her face drops a little, like she could sense that there was something Tewkesbury was trying to say but just couldn’t manage. He wants to try again, but the words choke up his throat and he can’t get out a single syllable.
Instead, he contents himself with watching Y/N as they walk, how the sun dapples her skin with endless patterns of gold. He watches as they leave the streets as well, once they head for Y/N’s house down the block. Tewkesbury pushes the door open; it’s always been more of his home than any other corner or annex of his family place. This is where he feels at peace, and although he’s always thought that was just what came with finding a friend like Y/N, he’s starting to think that it could be more. That maybe they could be more.
It is a false hope, however, and one that will only serve to make him bleed, to rob the happiness from his chest whenever Tewkesbury looks over and sees Y/N. They are friends, compatriots, brethren in a war that all young children grown old must face at some point. Never have they been closer, and never has he wished that they could be closer still.
He’s caught staring as they head up the stairs, and he looks away hastily although the damage is done. Y/N laughs at the blush forming on his cheeks. Although Tewkesbury reacts by habit and shoves her with an outstretched, playful arm, he can’t seem to stop his hand from lingering there on her shoulder, fingers reaching as if to pluck some sort of love out of her through willpower alone.
He finds it not, though, and is forced to stay satisfied with smiling to himself and wondering if the rest of his life will be like this, just watching and hoping for a happy ending that may never come his way. Tewkesbury has always wanted something he could never have:  a world outside of family rules, a universe that did not want him controlled, and now, worst of all, a love that should have stayed platonic. It is the cut that aches the most.
The moment is good, though. Y/N has always had this most peculiar skill when it comes to paper crafts, and Tewkesbury regards her now through lowered eyes. Her hands flit around the cut shapes, slicing off delicate corners and creasing folds until a simple note becomes a prancing pony, a soaring bird about to take flight around the room.
Tewkesbury shakes his head after she produces yet another paper marvel. “I don’t know how you do it,” he protests, “Show me, can’t you? Let’s make a flower or something.”
“Flowers have always been your favorite, haven’t they?” Y/N comments. She does as requested, although what are lovely narcissi and tulips in her hands turn into sadly wilted clumps of paper in his.
Tewkesbury just can’t figure out how she does it. Even after that particular day ends, he finds himself sitting in his room surrounded by heaps of useless folds, trying and failing to emulate her easy way with the paper crafts. One would think that Tewkesbury, with his lifetime of knowledge about every facet of flora there is to know, would be able to reproduce his beloved plants in paper form, but here you would be surprised.
Tewkesbury labors for hours, days even, but his progress is slow and totally frustrating. Y/N catches him at it a few times and laughs at him. The sound, so sharp it stings, carves a smile on Tewkesbury’s face even when he’s almost been driven to the point of madness by the infuriatingly unrealistic paper flowers.
He insists that Y/N show him a few more times, of course, but Tewkesbury can’t seem to pick up a single thing. Maybe that’s because he’s not really hearing but looking at his professor. The sunlight clings to her like a child, playing at her hair in ways that only golden beams can get away with in proper society. Despite Y/N’s protests that he really is getting better, Tewkesbury only thinks he’s getting better at one thing and one thing alone:  falling harder for her.
Soon enough, he finds that he cannot go a day, cannot even draw a breath, without thinking about how much he loves Y/N. His room is dizzy and chaotic, the paper flowers piling up in the corners and spilling out of waste paper baskets. Tewkesbury’s hands are nicked by all the paper cuts he’s given himself by accident, and he finds his fingers keep twitching by his sides to run through the familiar folds and patterns as he goes by his days.
At some point, Tewkesbury looks up and realizes that he’s done it, mastered the things. They’re nothing compared to Y/N’s magic with them, of course, but they do the trick for now. An idea comes to him, and Tewkesbury carefully makes one pristine paper flower after another, all the types he knows by heart and some he has to consult in his books, too, just to get the right varieties.
Y/N is surprised when he presents them to her at first, this newsprint bouquet. Her eyes are enchanted and rove up and down the folded petals, the cut stems.
“You did all of this?” She asks, voice tinged with excitement.
Tewkesbury laughs. “You don’t have to seem so surprised. I was bound to get it at some point, you know.”
Y/N flashes him a grin in between her admirations of the paper flowers. “I never doubted you for a second, I swear it.”
He believes her, he always has. How is it that Tewkesbury can see straight through politicians and their lies, but yet find himself stumbling over Y/N’s every word? Every ounce of critical thought leaves his head in a blessed whirlpool the second she smiles at him. It is a problem that Tewkesbury refuses to solve.
A voice calls from behind him; Tewkesbury wasn’t able to stay for long today, only long enough to press the paper bouquet into Y/N’s hands and make her swear to look at it before he’s dashing back to the House of Lords again for the day’s work.
He doesn’t have to stay to make sure she’ll investigate, nor to discover what she finds. Soon enough, Y/N will be glancing over the paper creases and realize that not all of the flowers are made of newsprint. Some are made of notes, notes to her, notes that are at last able to explain all that Tewkesbury couldn’t put into words if he tried.
It’s a story about how a boy fell in love with a girl, how Tewkesbury is so lost on Y/N that he can’t think straight. Unable to help himself, he’s cataloged the flowers he’s made for her; camellias for longing, jasmine for sweet love, goldenrod so he’ll have luck in this, begonias so that even if she doesn’t feel the same way, he can at least thank her for all of the memories they made in the past years.
It might be the bravest thing he’s ever done. In truth, when Tewkesbury steps out of the reaches of Parliament for the day, he doesn’t know what to expect. In all his endless plotting and scheming about how to do this, he was never able to accurately sum up how Y/N might respond.
In the end, she surprises him. Tewkesbury enters the streets of London and there she is, waiting for him with a smile on her face unlike anything he’s ever seen before. Tewkesbury has prided himself on being able to place each one of her smiles in his memory, rank them on how happy she truly is, and this one blows all of the others away.
He walks to her, and they meet in the middle somewhere, both bursting with hopes finally answered.
“I love you too,” she says, “more than anything. More than you love me, I think.”
“Doubtful,” Tewkesbury replies, “I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to love more than I love you.”
She laughs. “I look forward to proving you wrong on that point.”
He looks forward to it, too. There are few things in life that can be described as going perfectly, but this, this is it. This is perfection itself, him and her and the glorious world stretching out around them. Nothing could be better.
requested by @thatfangirl42, i hope you enjoy!

ARABELLA → e. hewson
Tumblr media
pairing — elijah hewson x famous!fem!reader
summary —every popular man needs an even more popular girlfriend and rn that's you babe xx
written for this request
wraps her lips round the mexican coke, makes you wish that you were the bottle
Tumblr media
you're such a fan fav.
like whenever you're at inhaler gigs they're almost more excited to take pictures with you than with the band
if you work in the limelight as well (singer, model, actress, etc) his fanbase is your fanbase.
pictures of you and elijah (and just you) are very common profile pics for inhaler twt and tiktok
he's very aware that he's the arm candy in the relationship
he can't complain tho, he gets it
obsessed bf, pretty gf dynamic
goes without saying that you've got more than a few songs written about you
if you're irish (self projecting) you would be freaking out with him and the lads over them playing in slane (and for opening hslot ofc)
in famous!reader headcanons i always see "his insta is a fanpage for you" and i raise you one, your insta is a fanpage for HIM!!
litch whenever an album drops, it's on the story and in a post. they announced tour dates? posted. they're opening for someone? posted. they fall asleep on your couch after a show? posted. you see a cute fan edit? saved, commented, and posted.
you're visibly down bad for him
BUT DONT WORRY hes visibly down bad for you too
if you're a singer, people are getting videos of him with the biggest heart eyes chilling in the vip section
if you're an actress, pictures of him staring at you on the red carpet or during interviews haunt the rockstar gf pinterest girlies
if you're a model you better believe that there has never been a show of yours when everyone can see him smiling in the front row
your little fanboy <3
forehead kisses for the win!!!
AND AND AND!!!!!! a hand on the small of your back at all times
definitely does the thumb thing when you're holding hands
he follows the sidewalk rule like it's a law
tells u abt the time he got abducted by aliens to help u sleep xx
he doesn't really fuck with spooning but will always rest easier if your head is on his chest and his arm is around you
i feel like if you're a very excitable person (self projecting again) he's such a listener
like you could be rambling about the most random thing in the world, and he'll just sit there nodding with a cute little smile on his face
he'd be great to gossip with, i think, but that might just be the irish in him
it's pretty much mandatory that you get on well with the rest of the bad bcs if you're not busy yourself, eli is dragging you on tour with them
if you were in the industry longer than them i feel like you'd all have some really good chats
like giving them advice on how to deal with anxiety and helping them through any doubts or fears they have
they all appreciate having you around even if ye take the piss out of each other 24/7
it's loving banter <3
you'd get mentioned in interviews a few times
never by name tho
because eli's so private and doesn't want to end up with the bands success being attributed to you he'd never be like "oh, y/n said this, y/n said that"
instead he'd be like "oh, yeah my girlfriend's been here before so she's been telling us where to go and all"
if the others ever brought you up it'd be to take the piss out of eli
"yeah his girlfriend had to drag him out the bus this morning" "he wouldn't shut up till we brought his girlfriend over" stuff like that
you and eli would have some proper deep chats i feel
he trusts you so much
each others ride or dies fr
fans hope you get married
he does too
overall, any comment section under a pic of the two of you is filled with people crediting ye for their bisexuality xx

cloud-based-and-rainpilled replied to your post: 
Someone mentioned in a comment that Michael got ‘downgraded’ to boyfriend, so my tinfoil (again, could be wrong/insane) is that AL & GT referring to each other as wifey is to downplay the previous MS ‘wife’ jokes, since people keep commenting about a poly thing going on, moreso than the past. Also since MS is in London rn, he’s with DT more, so I think there’s a bit of insecurity going on. a lot of (doomed) poly couples have an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ rule, or think the swinging being gay 'doesn't count/isn't a threat,' which could be why the posts feel forced. (parasocial, creepy, bad person, etc., whatever, I calls it as I sees it and have seen it before 🤷‍♀️ )
lepqueen replied to your post: 
My biggest question on this was actually about the song choice, given that I am reasonably sure Sting said at some point Every Breath You Take is a stalker song.
@cloud-based-and-rainpilled I had a similar thought about the insecurity. I think Georgia and AL trying so hard to give the appearance of everything being "fine" and everyone getting along only makes it feel more like things in reality are not exactly what's being presented on social media. I personally did not see "boyfriend" as a downgrade (because from my perspective, "other wife" reads as more jokey/unserious, but boyfriend is...softer, somehow), but I can see why some folks could interpret it as a downgrade when it's actually a readjusting of whatever the dynamic is between all of them.
Going back to the insecurity, I had also wondered how things would play out while Michael was in London for such a long time during the run of Nye, and it makes all the sense in the world that things would change with Michael and David being able to see each other in person frequently. And you make a salient point about the gay swinging being seen as less threatening (which I think is why it's been easy for Georgia and AL to start up with that, and why we have never seen even one reference to David/Anna or Michael/Georgia and swinging). It could be that shipping Michael and David was also seen as less threatening and easier to play along with a few years ago, when it was all still new and Michael and David hadn't gotten as close as they have now. So yes, I do think something has changed, and though we may never be privy to what specifically, we can still see its aftereffects and reverberations in a variety of ways.
(I also wish the antis/people making vitriolic posts in the tags would understand your final point, which is that some of us have seen these things before and are speaking from a place of experience--unlike their assertions (and I have actually seen someone say this) that we have never had any close friendships or relationships like these, and therefore know nothing.)
To your comment, @lepqueen, I also found myself raising an eyebrow at the song choice. You are correct that Sting has described the song as being creepy, and I found one quote from him in particular attesting to this:
Tumblr media
I'm not really sure how this fits into the context of AL's post, though, or what made her choose it. Is the David pillow watching her every move? Is she watching the pillow? I have no idea. But that was certainly a choice, so there you go...

OOO what about a Dark Fey reader like Maleficent? that was being hunted down by a dangerous group of cryptid hunters, and had a broken wing n wounded by iron bullets but kept running.
And the Creeps found them took em in. and since ferfolk cannot lie,.. caught them off guard with a question on how they felt about that creep 😉
I expect to see Slenderman!👁👁 and another ig👍plz
idk I rarely see Supernatural like readers, it's a little disappointing imo. I love powerful self-inserts ok?
Slenderman with a Fey!S/o
UWAAAA I'm sorry for taking so long to get to this !! I've kinda been sucked up in a bunch of irl stuff !! (Nothing serious, just me working on things)!!
Admittedly I have never watched maleficent; so I'll solely be going off the info given in this ask I hope that's alright ☝️😔 and I apologize in advance if it's no good 😭💔
As you specifically brought up slenderman, he's gonna be our star today!! I was originally going to do the full list of characters but my brain js
A raisin
Also also!! I totally get what you mean ab the shortage of supernatural readers!!! Not just in the creepypasta fandom; but really any fandom! Let the insert have powers, let them be super strong, ect ect !!
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
You'd stumble into him after trying to hide and take shelter in his woods
Normally, he'd take down any trespassers after stalking them for a bit; but he was just too curious about you to make that the case
I dont know, I always think of slenderman to carry that kind of curiosity about the world and other creatures; I feel like that makes him more interesting than the fandoms standard "stern and oddly fatherly" take... also I just live the idea of curious cryptids!!
Moving on
He'd help patch you up with the resources in the forest; I've seen mixed opinions on whether or not slenderman has weird healing powers but personally; I think he has regen abilities that can only be applied to himself! Unrelated to the ask I know, but a quick little fun aside and little bonding point for him and s/o if they have the same deal going on
As for shelter? I'm personally still on the fence on if I wanna make the manor thing a part of my personal universe and hc that I write for these silly lads; but rn I've settled for a version of it! Not as grand or tidy as the old fandom hyped it up to be; it's a lil smaller and kinda... run down
Still livable, though, and you're more than welcome inside if you need somewhere to stay
Granted, I'm not entirely sure how the topic of romance would be brought up with him, but let's say he picks up on some behavior from you that makes him start putting together a picture
Bro has zero rizz I'm sorry
Regardless, he eventually asks the question; and as the rules go, you're kinda forced to tell him how you feel
I think regardless of if he reciprocates or expected your answer, he'd be surprised
I mean how many people are out here flirting with a forest monster, to their face
I think it could work, honestly! The relationship I mean!! I wish i had more hcs since this is such a fun idea, but I genuinely dont know much about fairy stuff and all the lore regarding them
But onto some more side hcs/little ideas to make up for the lack of stuff !!
If you need comfort, about the whole being hunted thing, slenderman is a good listener; and he understands what it's like, bro probably has to deal with people trying to get a look at him all the time. He gets it
Want revenge on them? Well if the hunters followed you into the woods they probably wont last long anyways; despite the whole curiosity thing he can be... rather territorial
Day to day life with slenderman is interesting as is, but with a fellow non-human companion? Shenanigans will likely ensue
What kind? Cant say, due to my lack of knowledge 😔☝️
Too injured to move around on your own? If you need to go somewhere slenderman will either fetch it for you, or just carry you to where you gotta go
Also he totally wont make it habit; even before the romantic relationship is fully formed
It just activates his neurons 😔

QUEEN AMAYA HEAD CANONS & MY OWN FLIMSY SCRAPPED IDEAS (for funsies)
———————————
Tumblr media
I looked back in a google docs I made 4 months ago for a Wish rewrite I had and then suddenly stopped. I never released it and don’t really plan on making a rewrite anyways, because there’s plenty of those out there which is all great. I personally just don’t have the effort to do that and writing stories isn’t something I normally do (I can never decide what path to choose). But I found a nice little headcanon I have for the original beloved Queen Amaya.
Originally, in this document she was going to be evil. I found it odd that she’d just be bad for the sake of it and power, which was just very odd. So this backstory would serve as part of the reason why Amaya was evil, because I found no reason for her to be like that in the first place. To be clear, I prefer good Queen Amaya because we’ve had other evil queens, but an evil royal couple isn’t a bad idea. I love that, honestly. But in my opinion as of right now, I favor the good Amaya. Back then I was all over for evil Amaya, and still am, but cutie patootie (im sorry im so tired rn) good Amaya is on my favorites list. That’s not to discourage anyone, this is just me being neutral about things. Also, if you don’t care for the details about the unreleased rewrite and just wanna skip to the headcanon, scroll down to the 🌟 emoji.
Amaya was going to follow the classic fairytale princess trope of being locked away in a castle, simply because Disney was tryna bring back a lot of past references and I thought it’d be a nice contrast to my Asha, who was going to follow the trope of more modern princesses.
So Amaya was a maiden locked away in a castle within a faraway kingdom. Her parents ruled the kingdom and kept her there, and the place was isolated from the world because they refused to ally with kingdoms involving magic. They thought it was dangerous and were paranoid, and etc. Amaya wishes to flee from the island to experience more. Her parents say that she must wait for a knight-in-shining-armor to save her and keep her safe, and only then is she able to leave the kingdom. So Amaya waits for her true love and knight-in-shining-armor, but one never arrives. Her heart turns sour and resentful as time goes on. Years later a sorcerer named Magnifico, who is looking to study more magic but finding none, invades the island by himself (he was going to be downright evil in this unreleased rewrite, which I also have a backstory for that as well). After the island is destroyed, Magnifico suddenly finds Amaya in the locked-up castle. Magnifico, seeing how much she despised the people who she trusted to give her more, like himself (not justified on his own part), asks for her hand in marriage. Amaya gladly accepts his proposal. Like a twisted love at first sight, Amaya sees him as her true knight who wields magic rather than a sword. She finds that magic is much more powerful than a sword, even if her family rejected magic for all these years. Her hate for her parents and her destroyed kingdom helps Magnifico with his plans. They go back to Magnifico’s kingdom (is explained in his own little backstory) and they build Rosas from there. Amaya loves Magnifico with all her heart and praises him. She is so madly in-love with both him and his magical powers that she is willing to do anything to uphold his status. He’s the one with the magic and power, she’s the one with the will to do whatever it takes to uphold those things. Her undying loyalty.
Some more information I had for her was that she was going to be both the queen of Rosas AND the head general of the kingdom’s military forces (inspired by the one deleted scene). Honestly, I really like her as either good or evil. I’m not picky about it as long as it is written well.
At the end of the rewrite I was planning for her to either…
Plan A: This is the one where their relationship is completely healthy. They love each other with all the purity in the world. They’d be defeated alongside her husband (who is now trapped in the little mirror because I genuinely love the idea of an evil man obsessed with his looks being trapped in a mirror, just not the movie Magnifico) by the people of Rosas. In the ending scene, we would see an irritated Amaya watching the kingdom from afar. She finds the little mirror in the grass and picks it up. Queen Amaya escapes with the miniature mirror, because she loves her husband, and leaves the island to travel to another, possibly her old abandoned kingdom. Her old kingdom might’ve been rebuilt by other people, because I also liked the idea of an evil Queen Amaya being theorized to be the Evil Queen in the story of Snow White. Her loyal cat, Charo, would follow her off the island. I like dark-ish endings like that.
Or
Plan B: This is the one where their relationship isn’t completely healthy. It’s almost like a heavy dependency and a sacrifice of individuality. I don’t know. I just like giving characters sinister or angsty depths, haha. So Amaya would’ve been evil throughout the story, but come to realize that everything she’s been doing is simply for the benefit of Magnifico. She realizes that their relationship isn’t all that healthy as it seems, and that even if two people love each other very much, it doesn’t excuse the fact of negative dependence on the other person, especially if that other person makes it that way. Don’t know how I’d have done this, but at the end Amaya would’ve seen her mistakes and redeemed herself. Magnifico was always planned to be evil in my AUs and unreleased rewrites, but this could be for a different original story if I ever make it. But anyways, Amaya would’ve built her own character and individuality away from Magnifico and later become the sole ruler of Rosas. It would’ve had the concept of being ‘too attached to someone or something to the point where it’s not good for you’ and making Amaya question whether to continue that habit or letting it go. The movie, however, wasn’t toxic at all and I support Magnifico’s and Amaya’s relationship in the original film.
Again, these are like rough drafts so they’re not perfect and I’m sure you can find plot holes in them. These are all just concepts and ideas I made myself in my free time. Because creativity. 🤷🏽‍♀️
So what about your headcanons for the original Queen Amaya, because these are all for your evil Queen Amaya?
🌟
Well, for funsies, I do headcanon that Amaya was a locked away princess or maiden in some nameless castle and was rescued by Magnifico. He was just a humble, curious man who traveled to the nameless kingdom in search to study more magic and spotted the castle no one dared to go near because a dragon or something was guarding it. Not knowing that anyone was in the castle and thought that people were being terrorized by the dragon, Magnifico is like “Gosh, let me save this kingdom real quick and I’ll get back to my magical studies 👍🏽.” Magnifico compromises with the dragon (doesn’t slay it) and it leaves. Magnifico, thinking there could be magic books and artifacts in the castle, searches through it and suddenly finds Amaya. They fall in love and he helps Amaya leave the nameless kingdom to start a new life together. They share their dreams and later found Rosas together. Simple as that! Sweet and beautiful. I like sappy endings too.
OH, and I just thought of this as I’m writing this post to follow up with more of that classic Disney princess stuff. Maybe Amaya can naturally understand animals, like Cinderella or Snow White. I know she was surprised in that one scene where the mouse was talking to her, but like it spoke a human language. You know how the animals in Snow White just chirp and squeak? Well, what if Amaya just understood them, but never heard them legitimately speak? What if she was just surprised in the moment that the mouse spoke plain words to her? Like an “Oh I didn’t expect that, but go on. I’m listening as always 🥰”. Then there could be cute scenarios where Amaya is singing with the birds or little critters hold up a small mirror for her to readjust her hair or whatever.
Might release more sections of the never to be finished rewrite draft. It’s really just paragraphs of what each character is like, their backstories, how the kingdom functions, what wishes are, and etc. There’s no script, just ideas. 💖 Okay, good night.

bom dia nikkaa!! ik u have a lot of asks in ur inbox rn so I hope this isn’t annoying to have me in here as well but I’ve not sent one of my silly little asks to u in soooo long so I hope I’m excused 🤭 anyways omg I missed u like crazy!! esp all of our little chats in the morning and night I was like what am I supposed to do w all my nikka time!! but hehe I’m just being silly I’m rlly glad ur feeling better and have gotten some good rest away from this hellsite!! take all the time u want we can all wait for as long as u need bc to (mis)quote ney ur happiness is my happiness!! and there’s nothing more important to me than ur happiness ok!! 🫶🏼💛💛💛 love u my sunshine!! ☀️💛💛
ofc! yi and a giant emotional ask making me cry sappy tears in this very pleasant afternoon!!!!! :')
i know we already talked in private, but i need to reassure how sorry i am for the slight possibility, of have worried you, or made you sad with my absence. you are always, ALWAYS on my mind. i didn't lie about that and you are SO important to me. maybe when i say that, i'm not making myself clear, but words are the only thing i actually have to make myself understood.
i wish i could be near you, give you a hug, share a lot of things with you on a daily basis. we could do so much together, we could rule the world, we could end capitalism, idk... so many possibilities. unfortunately we can't - at least for now - and all i have are these words to try to make you understand and believe that i really really love you.
yi, you are certainly a gift from the universe, i'm so so grateful for having you in my life and for you to consider me your friend. it's an honor and also i think i don't deserve it sometimes. so even if i take breaks in the future (and i probably will at some point) i promise never leave you behind, we will find a way!
i love you, never forget that. i love you when i'm here, and i love you when i'm away. when i sleep, when i wake up. you are my star <3

This is the poison of intense fear. Your body trembles, your flesh burns. Your limbs won't respond to you. You convulse. You can't seem to control the fear. It seems that it has always lived within you. You hesitate, you agonize, and that breeds regret. Sometimes it threatens to overwhelm you, and that frightens you more than anything. But panic is survival mode in overdrive, and something within you knows you must live. Creation seems to be the only balm for you. Perhaps you survive so stubbornly because you have stories that must be told, songs that must be sung. Soothe your stage fright. The path from surviving to thriving is having a good garden to grow in. And you can't do that completely alone.

This is the poison of giving too much. You feel yourself emptying out, dizzying, discoloring-- until you fear you will fade entirely and wither away. You have always had to give. You never had a choice before. They pluck your flowers for their beauty, they trample your leaves carelessly, they pull out your roots by the fistful and berate you for daring to grow. And now that you have a grove to spread out in, your rhizomes tangle and curl in on themselves. When cruelty is all you've ever known, thriving seems impossible. But the answer is not to make yourself small and offer every lovely thing you are to the world in the hopes it will have mercy on you. The answer is to let yourself dare to thrive for thriving's sake, to grow in the wild ways you wish to-- and to do that for yourself for once.

A/N: all this rn is from Lily's point of view, so we have no idea the fuck is actually going on :))) do you wish to know the past?
To say right now, that things were going smoothly would be a lie. In fact, they were far worse than terrible then Lily would like to admit. It had been a few days ever since that confrontation with her dearest. And as much as she'd like to admit she was hurt and sort things out, she had her pride. Which was too much.
Never allowing herself to humble down, or never allowing herself to be seen as weak.
All her life, she has worked to show that she's worthy. Worthy of love, affection, lingering gazes, smiles and most importantly to show that she's worthy of her position.
...and now? She wasn't even sure what was going on. Everything had blurred into an illusion to reality almost as if they were the same.
She loves Wisteria, don't get her wrong. But, the fact that she kept a secret from Lily was a little too much to digest.
It made her question whether what they had together was even real, if she really knew Wisteria at all or was everything a play.
That didn't matter now, she had to go to Her Highness after all. She was stiff when she had entered the chamber, the trial of her uncle was already taking place. The murder, confessions, and more atrocious crimes that had been carried out.
"Your Highness," Lily gently spoke, her voice was a little gruff. She bowed. She had barely slept, always working. To distract herself from Wisteria. It was almost ironic, how Lily was so desparate while Wisteria didn't even bother.
...or maybe she did-
"You may rise your head." It didn't take her for a moment to make out that Wisteria was tired, overworked would be the correct word. In fact she was stiff as she sat there scanning through the document. It was obvious that she had worked during the night too. After all there were dark circles around her beautiful sapphire eyes and her magenta-
Wait. They were dyed, blonde.
And she almost gasped.
The woman was still sitting, her eyes were on the paper in front of her. She flicked her hand and the maids, guards left them alone.
"Your Highness for what-" Wisteria's voice cut short her, "For the upcoming ball."
Lily grit her teeth, she tried to calm down. She shot her a glare. Opening her mouth like a fish and closing it immediately, she wanted to make a come back. She wanted to scream at her. Storm at her, cry to her. But all she felt was hollow.
"Wouldn't His Highness, help you with that?" "He told me to prepare for the ball."
And she stared at her, not because she felt void of emotions. But because of the seething rage, that she can treat her better than that Prince, that she'd burn down the whole world for her, she'd dance with her in the ruins of the world as it crumbled. And if Wisteria wanted, she'd make sure that she ruled the world. She could treat her better- She'd give her all the love, everything that she desired and they could be happy-
"I shall help you with it, Your Highness."
It hurt her, to watch the person you love to be with someone else. That wasn't the worst, the worst was that person not being treated the way they should be.
"Drop the formalities, darling."
And Lily swears she'd cry right then and there. She can't handle all this, she simply can't.
"He's treating you like shit." Wisteria simply let out a hum. "He certainly is."
"...and you will tolerate it?" The woman she loved looked at her, "I will."
This threw her off, this whole situation did. First her uncle, second her beloved with a man, and now that man being a piece of shit.
"Is that why you dyed your hair blonde? Because he likes it?" "Yes? I mean that's the objective-"
And tears almost sprung back, emotions making her brain go numb. She slammed her hand on the desk and a few documents flew. A few tears slipped past her eyes, dripping on a document.
"Why?" "It's for-" "Save it."
And Wisteria shut her mouth, her lips curling into a straight line as she watched the woman in front of her.
"I will help with the ball." because I can never turn you down and because I should have been him.
There was no ounce of emotion that was displayed on Wisteria's face. "Alright."
That was the last conversation they shared. And that was the last time she saw her before the ball.
Before watching her laugh and giggle at the other man, as he slung an arm on her waist.
And her heart ached, but that didn't matter did it?

𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎: honey
𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚜: they/them
𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗: discord
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚎: @khrused. currently on my mind: ruby matthews, christine daaé, gazala bravard, makawi-sa, esme cullen
𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎/𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐 (𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚜, 𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜?): in general, i've been rping since uh 6th grade? so however long ago that was lol but on tumblr i started with liara t'soni back in 2013? i think? my sophomore year of college .
𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚜 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚍: when i was a weee baby on the internet lol i started rping in forums. i eventually moved to skype, then tumblr! now add discord in and that's pretty much it.
𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎: ya know, every time i've joined a fandom it always ended up turning kind of gross or toxic but i think the very beginning of my tumblr rp years lol there were no rules. it was the wild wild west out there and its crazy that i still have rp friends from that era like tati, @vaedar and @wcsea ! and that's so fucking wild isn't it??? lol but i rly think the best experience was meeting my best friend who doesn't rp on here anymore so i can't tag him but i love him so much. we actually met via an ex who was in the ovw fandom, and when we broke up they were like !! right there bc that guy kinda fucked us both over so ya know we bonded and wow i love him so much rly owe a lot of my growth to him. wish you could read this rn milo bby !! and i would say meeting and befriending rosemary @musecraft who i would also like to thank for a lot of my growth as a person and friend and just...idk i love you so much too!!! and i think we og met as multis right? or was it hera? i think it was the multi! wow i cant even remember now bc i feel like i've known u my whole life and even tho we never met irl i feel like !!!! i have already? idk. u mean !! the world to me and i love you to pieces. and i truly truly thank u from the bottom of my heart for just !! idk making that move to speak to me one day and letting me be your friend <3 and lastly even though we're not on great terms anymore i guess but i gotta say rly thankful for my most recent ex. i just rly appreciate that they allowed me to explore my imagination and rly encouraged me to dive into characters i never thought i would before, or to dive further into the ones i already love. like london??? existing is all bc of my ex. lunafreya too. makawi-sa as well. they may not be my favorite person anymore but they rly gave me a space to be creative and i have to acknowledge that. AND LASTLY LASTLY gosh this is like a rly long thank u speech but @honnleathrose .... wow. i know we're not as close as we used to be anymore but meeting you, our friendship, everything you've taught me about photoshop and writing and just being a good person and standing up for myself. meeting you !! and having those laughs and skype sessions with you were everything!! and i love and miss you and truly meeting / befriend you is on my top list of the best things tumblr has given me. so as much as i complain about this site now... i got my reasons to stay <3
𝚛𝚙 𝚙𝚎𝚝 𝚙𝚎𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚜/𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚋𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚛𝚜: i mean other than the usual don't be an asshole shit but when ppl are just ?? mean and angry?? for no reason??? there's truly no reason to be so up in arms all the time !! i rly think ppl, espec on the internet. are just... so in the defense all the time and its rly hard. as someone as anxious as i am it makes approaching ppl rly hard now. so yeah, if u give me that vibe. thats it. i'm done. also when ppl don't get that i just dslgdfjk i need time sometimes. i'm not fast !! ooc or ic. i'm tired and depressed and i want to write and talk when i want to , ya know?
𝚏𝚕𝚞𝚏𝚏, 𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚜𝚝, 𝚜𝚖𝚞𝚝: 👀👀👀 all of them !! but y'all know smut has a special place in my heart. i love smut lol but also angst. pls hurt my feelings
𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚝𝚜 𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜? both !! but definitely plotting. the more you plot with me, the more we create together the easier it is for me to write! to create and know how to respond. othertimes i get rly stuck on whether YOU'D THINK ITS OKAY. so truly the more we plot, the better!!!
𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚛 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚜? i truly don't care !! just write with me <3
𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎?: when i'm smoking and drinking my coffee and got a good show or movie or podcast in the background uwu
𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚎? in some sense there's a part of me in every muse! but i think the muses i gravitate towards the most are @khrused and rosalie hale, mainly due to their histories and pasts. hera was birthed as an exploration of my own trauma years and years ago when i was rly struggling with all the realizations in college. and rosalie.... i just... what happened to her is what happened to me (except murder ofc) and i've always HATED the way sm/eyer wrote her in the books... i just...it was a personal vendetta for me to get it right. so i own rosalie hale now. she is mine. and i will make it right. just like !! i worked through my own shit !! ya know?
tagged by: @wcsea thank u my love !!

okay i'm like a good amount of time into TOTK I'm gonna talk about it so read on at ur own risk
Right now I've got the entire overworld map filled out, I've done the Rito and Zora temples, and I have found all the Dragon Tears (including the 12th) . I don't have a lot of knowledge of spoilers rn other than like, some items that exist in the world.
I am actually enjoying it a lot right now, I feel like it's been pretty engaging trying to find the pieces of everything and follow up on little things, and just see what's changed. I feel like I've forgotten half of what the BOTW overworld looked like but the general shape is in my mind so it's been cool to run into things that feel familiar but are also fresh. It's also cool to see the progression of the world and how time has changed it, how the towns have grown, how the Upheaval affected them... With Tarry's daughter being able to like, fully talk it feels like it's been a good 5ish years since the end of the last game. But like thank fucking god characters like Paya and others that people were fucking weird about Are and Look like adults now.
NGL I might have missed why the Shiekah tech is completely gone, maybe they disassembled it for safety? But it kind of saddened me not to see any remains of it, although I get that they were going for different aesthetics with the Zonai stuff and I do really like it. In terms of it being a sequel I like the way they're going with Flesh Ganon being the main villain, which I wasn't sure I would. Calamity Ganon in retrospect seems like the First Form of the Boss since it was boar-shaped, and was only made up of the Ganon's malice/pre-gloom that seems to be what he could muster before being released by L+Z. I want to see more Ganon before I can Really formulate an opinion but it's kind of the same old Big Evil Guy… Mostly I just like the fan interpretations around the cycles of reincarnation and Ganon's rebellion being more about the Gerudo's status wrt being under Hylian rule & wish canon gave him more depth than He's the Power Guy… I have no hopes but we'll see if they surprise me. I knew Zelda wasn't going to be an actual character considering their stance on playable Zelda but I do like that she's Doing more and kind of has her own thing going on in the past similar to Skyward. They've never been super precious with putting Zelda in Situations but I REALLY like the idea of her sacrificing herself to make it back to her own time, whether that was a decision she needed to make like that or not. I think it was a little obvious it was coming but I really like her dragon form and the dragon theming in general that comes with the Zonai..... I know she's gonna be able to be saved but like can you imagine if that was it. How delicious that would be. Also think about how fucked up she's gonna be after she just had to live thru millenia. What did she see bro. But also who the fuck are the other dragons then. THE CHASM is fucking scary but I LOVE the vibes of what I've seen because it especially reminds me of Twilight Princess. Like the curly little ferns and how the roots of the trees are swirly in the same way that the ones in Faron Woods are.... And how you clear the darkness like you did the mist in Faron!!!!!! Seriously I don't give a fuck about timeline and if it's connected, I don't think it is, but I just love that they chose a similar tone. The powers you get from the temples are kind of fun it's cool to mix it up and also have some battle support lmfaooo but god do I miss Revali's Gale. Instant jump my beloved come back....
I haven't done all that much exploring all things considered. I was mostly just grabbing shrines for warp points so I'm only at 6 hearts. Also barely got items or figured out how to make any good contraptions lmfao still not sure how I should be spending Zonai charges. I want to get more into the Depths but I might finish the other 2 temples first.
ok that's it I will be playing more at work tomorrow GOOD NIGHT

after playing morrowind (im not finished i am just too exhausted to play rn) i am just overwhelmed with the desire to take a hammer to skyrim, rip it up, and build smth new
i dont hate the setting of skyrim. i dont hate the main ideas behind it. i just think it was done dirty by oversimplification of the plot progression. the way it is structured and written feels like it presumed the player is a lazy moron incapable of thinking things through or making choices. there is rarely ever 2 ways to solve a problem. not to mention it is mostly annoying dungeon crawling with little justification. just go to this nordic tomb and get this thing. only exceptions are thieves guild and dark brotherhood missions only because it would make less than 0 sense. but the mages college? main story? BARDS COLLEGE? dungeon crawling baby hope you arent fucking sick of draugar by now bc you’ll be seeing a bunch of them. most of the time in morrowind i wasn’t in random dungeons or caves. people sent me to track down other people, solve problems for them. you can wipe out a mine or you can extort money from the owner. you can talk your way out of problems. in some sections you can kill ppl annoying you who wont name you horator.
some suggestions i have to make skyrim feel more alive and complex (under the cut bc i wrote too much) based on now other elder scrolls games so i know these things arent impossible or never occurred to anyone at bethesda:
>reputation and disposition should come back. why are these random ppl answering all my questions? if im a nobody except named dragonborn by some monks in a monastery no one really does to, why does anyone give a shit i say stop the civil war?
>much like the nerevarine, people don’t believe you are dragonborn right off the bat. hell, even if they DO, that doesn’t make you THE dragonborn. many dragonborns have exists. you claiming to be one more so makes you a potential problem for politics--the empire could be weary of you trying to drum up support to overthrow the empire, something they DONT NEED. the monks meanwhile ask you to do a VARIETY of spiritual tasks before they will begin training you. gather artifacts not just in tombs. go to various locations around the world. after every shout they teach you they don’t just give you a tutorial but then set you on a clear task to use it. maybe i need to go find a fox that is an avatar of lorkhan, or travel to that tree to speak to kyne. and even after they name you dragonborn, see above, not everyone is going to agree with their judgement or necessarily care. but also if you DO prove yourself, you could gain a lot of respect and reputation around various factions. this would also incentivize exploring instead of just fast traveling to your next dungeon.
>a dragon cult that isn’t undead as an overworld faction. im sick and tired of all dragons being mindless killing machines with few exceptions. im sick of all the dragon cultists being basically zombies and liches. if theyre a real threat, they should have a bigger presence. dragons taking over towns and small settlements where there are acting priests or priests in training. cultists taking people captive. draugar waking from their tombs and wandering into town to kill people. make them a third player in the ‘civil war’. maybe some dragons ruling these towns dont even kill you on sight--to them you are a weak little baby dragon who poses no threat. the soul of a human in a weak, fragile body who does not understand what true power you could attain, a pitiful creature who doesn’t even know flight or the full extent of their knowledge. they are sentient beings with their own culture and ideas after all. and the cultists could have a very real motivations for joining like being fed up with both the empire AND stormcloaks, or not wanting to be the next helgen.
>i actually liked morrowind’s dialogue system ngl. i understand the limitations of a fully verse voice cast, but they already reuse voices and dialogue. i wish we could just ask more conversation topics and get more varied answers. weird responses from npcs made interacting with characters more memorable and enjoyable than a basic stupid fetch quest. caius being like “uhhh you’re starting to scare me” when i questioned him about my weird dreams made it feel like we were actually having a conversation and i was asking questions not just “this is scripted dialogue and i am basically a story prop with no thoughts or feelings” like i often get in skyrim (with a few exceptions)
>more weird shit. frankly we just need more weird shit in skyrim. i wanna see funny in jokes or weird things that add depth. there is no scamp serving drinks or a sheogorath cultist that only meows. no woman on the side of the road who fell in love with the rogue that robbed her and begs me to reunite them. i want more intentionally weird things. no necrophiliac saying “im not a necrophiliac BUT what is the punishment if you were one lol”. no town based off of lovecraft’s work in the middle of nowhere. the elder scrolls series used to have SO MANY weird things in it and frankly those were the best parts.
>the blades should be introduced later. I think, as annoying as it might be, you should only be contacted by Delphine when you have enough reputation in the world. she’s supposed to be a cautious woman. why leave a note like that in a random tomb and then have you do a test AFTER revealing she’s a blade basically. she holds the key to moving forward, only after you do various tasks for her that you then realize only after the fact was gathering up various blades members who are in hiding. i know the network is being hunted down, but i think there should be more than like. 2. give us some people pretending to be crazy skooma junkies, or people who have integrated themselves into various jarls’ courts. she seems like a random innkeeper with a penchant for archaeology and might have secrets of the dragons you’re looking for, asking you to deliver mail in exchange for some information, but in reality you’re contacting her allies she hasn’t been able to speak with out of fear because by this point she thinks you won’t be killed by the thalmor very easily or are a plant for them.
>breaking into the thalmor embassy should just be redone or have multiple ways of going about it tbh. i can also be the most stealthy person alive literally invisible yet the thalmor just fucking know i am a spy and they have captured my accomplice so it doesnt matter if i hack and slash my way out of there or not. so it just feels like a lazy way of trying to be interesting while giving you basically nothing they couldnt have done another way. all you learn is esbern is alive and the thalmor have manipulated ulfric against his will for their own agenda and dont know shit about dragons. why would they EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE DRAGONS I DONT GET IT. it doesnt make the thamlor seem more intimidating, doesn’t teach us anything about their goals, nothing.
>furthermore the blades’ motivations and history should be told more clearly. after the septims they basically refused to directly serve the emperor apparently. but their spy network was still there for 170 years???? they still served in the army???? why do the thalmor wanna hunt them down if they don’t seem to like the current empire either. i know its to fuck over the empire and tie them in like previous games but the blades were already a cool intelligence gathering faction living covertly among the people to monitor various powers for the benefit of the empire and emperor. if they are a threat to the thalmor still, why have them have a fall from grace prior to this? why are they even still working for the empire? if anything they should have been using this dynasty’s imperial family as puppet rulers after the whole oblivion gates thing. see above: even if the thalmor have been hunting them i find it hard to believe there are only fucking 2 left. the blades were pervasive in the empire. most having been wiped out doesnt leave only 2 left. there should be more. enough to give them weight.
>redo the mages guild entirely. and most faction guild questlines but ESPECIALLY mages guild. bring back needing a staff. rising in ranks bc you had to do things for the guild and work at it and level up your skills. how am i archmage when i know like 5 spells? what??? i also think there should be more outposts for the college across skyrim. “but the nords hate magic” well having more mages around would certainly show that more wouldn’t it???? have there be tension still. random mages hating being assigned outside the college bc nords are assholes. preferring places close to the border or solitude where they are less in the heartland of nord pride. there being shut down mages guild buildings in some areas left abandoned.
>bigger guilds. bigger towns. i dont need daggerfall sized cities but at least oblivion or morrowind sizes. yknow. just bigger. i feel like we were allowed stuff like guild outposts bc of the town sizes. whiterun does not feel like a hub of trade. its rarely even mentioned despite it being a key point of the civil war both sides want for that reason.
>more settlements and places. vvardenfell is smaller than skyrim. why is there more shit to do. more places to be with more variety and interest. fix that too
>civil war needs to be redone in the fact there is frankly nothing to do. use the camps and outposts. have us clear out bandits to make a new base. negotiate trade. escort caravans that carry supply. take out smuggling operations. spy on the other side using their armor. we have bits of this with taking out agents and stealing papers but i want More. also ideally have different play-styles incorporated into it like you can be an archer, or steal and gather intelligence, or even just different ways to solve the same problems. maybe you threaten someone selling supplies to the other side, or kill them, or destroy their business, or convince them not to. you burn enemy fields so their troops have less food in a really fucked up battle system, or you can refuse those orders if you find them morally repugnant and either get punished for it or have to find a work around through another commanding officer who gives you an alternative. consciously make the choice to just follow orders or think through your actions and refuse. war is ugly and some sides will do anything to win. wouldnt it be interesting to fight dirty one playthrough and the next choose to try and only fight fair and just?
>i know some characters must die because the plot has demanded it. but frankly i feel it is overused sometimes. mages guild, companions, etc. you are promoted bc everyone else died or whatever. can i save them even if i like them as characters? no. nothing i can do can change that for them, even if them being alive could very well be possible and interesting. exception to this is the woman abt to be murdered in markarth when you walk in. why CANT i save skjor if i am fast enough. why cant my choices effect if the arch mage dies or not. it doesnt matter what i do or how fast i do it, they die, so whats the point of trying to do it different ways or try harder. see above for how you always get caught along with your accomplice when breaking into the embassy. it just robs the player of agency. their choices, performance, play style, and skills don’t matter. they will always be arbitrarily rewarded or punished in the linear narrative the devs have decided to make things as simple as possible bc every day people cant make choices and think things through or accept consequences of their actions they might have to live with. they cant want to craft their own narrative, it needs to be as simple as possible, people only like simple things.
if i think of more i can add more but most of these things have core issues behind them that i think if addressed could fix large swaths of issues.

THE WHOLE WEATHER SECTION FOR TANCRED BLEASE >:]
thank youuuuu beloved, losing my mind with some fucked up creature let's go
oc asks
🌩️ LIGHTNING - are they scared of lightning?
he’s not! actually i think he’s the type of person that enjoys thunderstorms (better than sandstorms for sure), thinks it’s a sign from above: either a good omen or a prediction of ruin, he says he can interpret the meaning but probably he is just pretending to have the favour of...well, what he doesn’t know but he just wants to act like his actions are extension of a higher will
💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon
just right after he and fenix got separated (=fenix “betrayed” him, as he believes) tancred used to spend the nights crying. the only person in the world that should’ve never left him, abandoned him in the moment of need. he felt incredibly alone...and after everything he did for his younger brother, right? to be left like that..he suffered for that betrayal far more than when their parents left them to die
❄️ SNOWFLAKE - do people consider them cold? if so, what made them this way?
rather than cold tancred is considered...stoic. when his mind is set on “business” related stuff he’s very serious, doesn’t smile, doesn’t crack mean jokes (something he does often), he’s very concentrated. in general i would say he comes off as a mix of stoic and...fatherly? to the people that still don’t know him. of course this depends on what kind of relation he needs to have with them, if it’s a member of his nomad family then yea, “fatherly” is on the menu too. he appears as some kind of guide to them. if it’s an enemy/someone tancred despise then it’s a mix of cold and cruel
🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you've ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?
mmmmh i think aside from his appearance the only “big” change i did with him is going from just being just a (even if very valued) member of a bigger nomad clan to ruling his own family. it felt almost right that at some point his ambition would take him there
🌈 RAINBOW - what advice would they give to their younger self?
kill kill kill more, do not let your brother leave you like that, force him to follow you. they were designed to be together, fenix should’ve been his right hand man, he strayed from his path and tancred should’ve “helped” him to see the truth. fucked up little crazy man huh
🔥 FIRE - do they have any self destructive tendencies? what habits do they have that hinder them from becoming their best self?
i think there’s not a way to make his “best self” come out at this point, he thinks THIS is his best self. i think the most self destructive he gets is when he gets needlessly physically hurt (example: enemies shooting on him? maybe he acts a lil bit too carelessly and gets a few shots into him), he feels like it’s some kind of purification. he thinks he was sent on earth for a mission, he nearly feels like a god (not yet...but one day..) but he’s still human isn’t it? what better way to be humbled down to human status than bleeding red like all the others?
☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon
when he was still a kid and he and fenix started developing the love for old stories found in books, tancred used to read to fenix. at first it happened because Fenix still didn’t know how to read then it kept going because fenix would love to hear his big brother telling a story and tancred loved spending time with his brother like that. SOBBING MY EYES RN
🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?
Ohoh…well for now he’s my lonely boy, so he doesn’t have anyone he would want to share such a spectacle with. about the night sky: he’s used to be under the stars at this point, he’s been staring at them all his life since he was a kid. he admires it as one of the few beautiful creations left in the world
🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?
probably the power to make anyone bow in front of him or some fucked up shit like that. power power power, at this point is the only thing he wants and he wants more and more. when he was born he was designed to do great things (so he thinks), that’s his only drive at this point
☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?
main thing they would probably assume is that he’s out of his mind half of the time JFKSDF AND I MEAN…they are right. the nearly religious speeches he gives, the cruelty, that stare of his that absolutely makes him look slightly insane...he’s a lil bit crazy but we love him like that

silent no longer
A non gender voice acting script for the sad and broken written by me in the format to be read out loud about by a gurdian angel what cant be silent any longer.
stop! please stop..
just please… <spoken in tears>
just put it down
you know who I am. <pleading>
you might never have seen me but you've felt me your whole life.
I've watched you your whole life.
just stop..
put it down and listen to me..
….
if i had wished you harm, all i would have had to do is show up one minute later; couldn't i have? <spoken angrily>
…..
-angry thunder rolls outside-
just stop talking -voice echoes- <voice still angry>
thank you <calm but exasperated>
I've watched you your whole life.
But i couldn't just watch this.
…..
I'm exactly what you think I am.
and I've been with you your whole life.
From the time you were a toddler and you cried for days when you learned that people you have never met went to bed hungry.
I was there when you made the conscious decision at the age of 9 years 2 months and five days to always sit at lunch with the lonely kids.
I was there when you prayed for guidance the night before graduation because of all the paths you could take you wanted to follow the one that did the most good.
….
No i can't hear your thoughts, but your prayers...
your prayers and your heart I have always heard.
I can read you like a book.
Like the pain I saw upon you with every heartbreak.
I saw that.
I couldn't help but feel that.
Just like I saw every time you forgave them.
I saw how you forced yourself to let go, and I saw you smile when you forced yourself to imagine them happy,
even while you were in the midst of despair.
I saw you every time the wheels of your head spun while you were trying to figure out how to make every stranger without a smile on their face just a little bit happier.
I know you!
Don't look away in shame.
You did not fail anyone.
….
Yes, I know what this is about.
What you deserve?
Heaven; save and protect us from getting what we deserve.
Except for maybe people like you.
<deep breath>
You've seen enough suffering to know DESERVE is not what life is about.
It's about free will and what you choose to do with it,
and I've seen what you do with it.
listen to me...
you can't save everyone.
But I have never once seen you fail to try.
I once saw you drive 4 miles to the next exit on a freeway, just so you could retrace another two miles just to get back to an old lady with a flat.
You know I heard her pray for you?
She said your name and thanked God for you that day, and prayed for you to have strength.
Because even a stranger paying attention knows it's not easy to be you.
But you do it everyday.
I've seen actual miracles.
I heard the original words of creation even as my substance was formed from the very aether.
So when I say that a heart staying as kind as yours in the world is a miracle.
….
yes! -thunder outside-
kindness saves lives
Your kindness saves lives.
You don't see the ripples, but i do...
and you have made tsunamis.
You never knew that one of those children at lunch who you sat with had a list of names in his pocket that day, and he was forming a plan.
Now because of you instead of a short and violent life he is an RN at a cancer clinic, a good father, and a loving husband.
His beautiful children are growing up in a loving home and only the divine knows what light they will bring into the world because of it.
...
Stop, those were not your fault.
You can touch people's hearts but you can't change them.
I know you feel like it is your will against the world, but if you play with those rules the world will always win.
Some people never wanted to be saved.
You are not alone.
I promise you there is a legion of kind, loving souls in the world doing the work everyday.
However, there is not another soul in creation like yours and there never will be again.
You are of more value than you could even know and a "you" size hole would mean the downfall of many.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but I promise you that everyday you walk the earth, the earth is better for it.
Yes even if you don't recycle.
Don't get smart with me dear.
More than anything you need to know that you are loved.
Yes, loved,
there is not a soul that has taken the time to really see you that did not love you.
Some were complete strangers moments before finding reasons to love you.
You are easy to love, even though it is a burden to see you in anguish.
yes
I love you.
How could I have spent your entire life watching you and not love you.
Not just because it is my job, but because you are incredibly easy to love.
hush hush
<sounds of moving the listener to the bed and speaker sitting next to them>
I don't want you to live just to help others, I want you to want to live for you.
I can't make your burden lighter or take your yolk from you because that would change who you are, and as I mentioned before the world is better for having you in it.
but what I can do is let you know you are loved.
and you are..
...
Look at me <spoken firmly>
not alone.
you are never alone.
Though once you close your eyes you may never see me again in your lifetime, know that I am always here.
When you wake in the morning I will be here.
When you lay your head down next I will be beside you.
Always watching you,
and yes, always loving you.
NOW SLEEP. <echos>

okay as much as i would Love to answer your whole post in detail and address the whole thing i can’t put a read more in my ask so i’m gonna limit it some 😭 would dms be more efficient? yes. am i writing this ask anyway? also yes.
and yeah i meant the Whole cb WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING THEM?? HOW LONG DID SUNGHOON HIT THE GYM FOR?? I DIDNT KNOW JAY’S VOICE COULD D O THE THINGS ITS DOING RN. NIKI IS OUT HERE LIVING HIS BEST ANGSTY TEEN LIFE.
“he’s selectively deaf” JDKSJDEB. no but fr i really do see jaan as a rigid, stubborn type, a stickler for rules when he’s the one making them but an absolute loose cannon whenever given an order. thankfully his “i do what i want” attitude doesn’t cause Massive problems bc he has a sense of responsibility and at least one braincell. jino, on the other hand… we’re just glad he’s cheerful and not particularly rebellious
CRAZY CAT VAMPIRES!! going back to noa with cat-like tendencies i imagine him padding around with a cat held in one arm “as a buddy” and everyone like “how has that thing not cleared you to death.” no but the guys having these old people tendencies is so funny to me it’s like a steve rogers situation where every once in a while it hits that “oh . oh right you may look like me but you’re Old” just heli smiling contentedly whenever he understands a pop culture reference or jaan crocheting (which is an even Better image now that i talked abt him up there) or jino learning to out-bake anyone’s grandmother (of course, being able to use his body as an oven helps)
no yeah . yeah sooha wanting to show them how to enjoy life as teenagers and then having to realize she couldn’t have a normal fun teenage life either and all of them working through it together and now i’m crying
i appreciate the chart and stuff bc there’s just So many ways to interpret vampirism and lycanthropy- disease, hereditary, extreme states of being (life or death), and each of them have so many implications and it’s fun to explore!! i wish we knew more abt solon and the guys’ origin UGH
- vrvr anon
man i always forget the limitations of this form of communication <///3 HSJFBVJV im just thankful tumblr apparently got rid of that word/character limit that they had on their asks for a while at least im assuming they did. that would have made our entire thing far less convenient
NO YEAH THE COMEBACK. HA. WOW. jay's voice DEFINITELY does a thing at the beginning of future perfect and i do NOT know how to feel about it. hybe needs to close the gyms fr because how much more ripped is sunghoon gonna GET. and yes u go riki get in your angsty edgy teen phase!!
jaan gives me chaotic lawful energy honestly—he's made his own set of rules and he sticks to them to the letter, but anyone ELSE'S rules? its fair game. jaan and jino both have the potential to be absolutely insane loose cannons (and sometimes ARE if the situation calls for it) but theyre stopped from being complete harbingers of chaos by the fact that jaan is actually oretty rigid and responsible (in his own strange way) and jino is happy-go-lucky cheerful instead of aggressively rebellious. if those two aspects of their personalities did not exist the world would be screwed.
NOA CARRYING A CAT AROUND "AS A BUDDY" PLS I CANT. THATS TOO SWEET. and maybe because hes tall af he can carry several more cats than his brothers and hes always just like (while holding six cats) "its the benefit of having long arms"
ive never watched a marvel movie of my own volition but i got weirdly involved in the fandom for some reason a couple years ago and because of that i Know Some Stuff. so now im thinking about heli being the ULTIMATE out-of-touch grandpa of the brothers, because hes the one out of all of them thats the most focused on protecting them and making sure they stay hidden, so hes never taken the TIME to get involved with the pop-culture of the time. and then when he actually starts to slow down a little and give himself time to LIVE instead of survive (thanks to sooha), and he starts looking into pop-culture more, he gets ABSURDLY PROUD anytime someone (like shion, because you KNOW shion would be the brother thats absurdly invested in everything pop-culture just because he thinks these modern humans are very entertaining) makes a reference to a meme or movie or something and he actually gets it! so like you said hes just sitting or standing there with this big old content grin on his face and he goes "i understood that reference!" and sooha or jino pat him on the shoulder like "yes u did good job heli" LMAO
"oh . oh right you may look like me but youre Old." KSGFJFBFJ EXACTLY and this could be said by either sooha (who even though she WAS born at the same time as them in our au, was conscious for significantly less of it) or OTHER students, in a hypothetical world where the brothers get less terrified for their lives, sooha makes more friends, and heli admits it wouldnt hurt to have a FEW more harmless teenagers in on the secret as long as they're harmless teenagers sooha trusts. which also brings to mind a situation in which jino befriends sooha's friends, and he's nice to them and likes them and everything because he's jino, but then said friends introduce jino to their grandparents and its all off the wall from there. sooha's human friend just stares at jino happily baking cookies and gossiping with their grandma like "why are you better friends with my grandma than you are with me"
i dont have much more to say about sooha and the boys experiencing normal life as teenagers together so im just gonna agree that yeah i am also crying. a lot. i am crying a lot. although in the hypothetical world where more humans get let in on the secret, the guys and sooha would actually have some Normal Teenagers to teach them how Normal Teenager Life is lived—at which point they could all be like "huh. actually we like the weird way we were doing it, but thanks!"
im glad the chart and everything was appreciated!! yeah theres so many different possible interpretations and i HAVE so many thoughts about those different possible interpretations. and many different possible interpretations of my own as you saw HSJFBFJB. its just!!! theyre both so COOL conceptually and theres so much that can be done with them!!! i also wish we knew more abt the guys' origins because so far all we know in canon is "woke up in an orphanage with no prior memories, already possessing both vampirism and magical powers. created somehow???" which. is NOT a lot. pls hybe
and hey look at that! i managed to answer this the same day it came into my inbox! and i only saved it to my drafts ONCE! yay me
