[ “SOMEBODY TOLD ME”]:

BREAKING MY BACK JUST TO KNOW YOUR NAME. SEVENTEEN TRACKS AND I’VE HAD IT WITH THIS GAME. A BREAKIN’ MY BACK JUST TO KNOW YOUR NAME—BUT HEAVEN AIN’T CLOSE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

— The Killers, Hot Fuss (2004)

Princess Rhaenyra’s insolence is wearing her stepmother’s patience thin. Queen Alicent is not ten years her senior, but even during her own sixteenth year, she cannot recall herself behaving so brazenly. She would never burst into courtly discussions in nothing but gilded armor and the underskirts of her riding leathers, awash in blood. (She would never be spotted in blood that was not her own, anyway. Alicent has never picked up a sword, not one that belonged to her.) Nevermind that Rhaenyra is attending to diplomatic affairs with bared teeth and scales, no—the crux of the matter is just that, her affairs. Rhaenyra is the Realm’s Delight, a beauty incomparable to any fair maiden, Alicent included. She indulges herself with appetite of a spoiled child, the confidence of man, and the pickings befitting only to her royal blood. Criston Cole. Daemon Targaryen. Harwin Strong. Laena Velaryon. She’s full of love, isn’t she? That selfish, foolish girl. What does Rhaenyra Targaryen know of love, of duty? She is a child in so many ways—she thinks killing makes her a man, thinks the throne is hers despite being a woman, thinks she can have her knight and her uncle and her protector and Laena Velaryon in one fail swoop. She’s wrong. She doesn’t know herself half as well as Alicent does. Alicent, who sees her for what she truly is, who wants to see all of her and more of her and none of her. Alicent has been stolen into the Keep by her own father—both of their fathers—but Rhaenyra is the key to this place, is the window to everything barred. Rhaenyra Targaryen has a dragon. Rhaenyra can fly.

That’s what Rhaenyra had promised her once, with her lips pulled back in a grin, exposing the white of her teeth like the violently radiant creature she was. “Perhaps when you grow tired of plotting against me, we shall ride on dragonback together,” she had said. The tease.

Alicent had yanked her into an empty corridor by the silk of her sleeve, ready to chastise her for her ill behavior. Conversing with the lords and ladies of the court at a feast was one thing, but chattering about her bloody encounters in battle over the pudding tureen were another. The lord at her elbow was going green. Alicent’s own face was likely red; her heart raced whenever Rhaenyra got like this. Alicent had never seen the battlefield—only seen battered men in dented armor and the slumps of corpses lined along dirt roads in the aftermath of war—but her own imagination terrified her like nothing else.

(Rhaenyra is better with a sword than half of the knights in Westeros, and more lovely than the lot. Her reign has not yet begun, but already the commoners flock to her—lured in by tales of her beauty and fine hair—and soldiers would follow her into battle. Alicent would not follow, but she would watch and bite her nails down to the quick.

She thinks of the figure Rhaenyra cuts in full armor, the heat in her gaze underneath the slots of her helmet. Alicent remembers the weight of her own hand in Rhaenyra’s—which was gloved—when the princess rode up to the spectators box and grasped it in her own, bringing Alicent’s knuckles to her lips. She thinks of Rhaenyra murdered in the sky, skewered with another man’s sword, plummeting to the ground, torn in half, streaking crimson across the clouds. Alicent would scream, or cry. She might laugh. She would throw herself from the window of her tower. Rhaenyra’s bloody exploits terrified Alicent for reasons she could not identify, and excited her for reasons she refused to.)

“I’d sooner be confined to the castle for the rest of my days than get on the back of that bloody lizard,” Alicent scoffed. Rhaenyra only tucked her hand over Alicent’s, where it was resting on her forearm. She flexed her fingers, moving to release her grip on the dark fabric, but Rhaenyra intertwined their fingers and held them fast.

“You’re confined already. You are already accustomed to such a thing. I know you. But—”

“But you forget yourself. You think you’re invulnerable, Rhaenyra. You don’t know who you are.” Alicent intends for it to be a sneer, but instead it comes out quietly, and too gentle for disdain. She can’t know. Rhaenyra is as trapped as she is, but they’re trapped together. They belong together. She belongs with Alicent.

“I am Rhaenyra Targaryen, Heir to the Iron Throne and all of Westeros. I am a dragonrider. I am—I am your daughter. In a way. Your sister, too. Your enemy. Your sword, your shield.”

“And what am I?” What else is left for me? Alicent wonders.

“My Queen. For now.” Rhaenyra cocks her head, and the gleam in her eyes burns like fire raining down. “When I am Queen, you will be my lady.”

[munamania]

ok im a really chill and normal person and i get over things and am well adjusted but take a walk with me here. just give me my time to complain when im not in the absolute fucking trenches. and yes i believe i suffered more than those in trench warfare. it was literally a lesbian situationship with a bistraight girl come on. just. magenta choppy shag with the roots coming in. camo cargo pants black t shirt with red lettering and striped long sleeve (sign someone likes music. confirmed). lip ring big black stud earrings and nails. red docs. i think lesbians should be allowed to kill one dyke baiter in their lifetime idc

#and now we're gonna get into some quiet parts and youre just gonna let me have this #i. am so sick. first of all it was kinda funny how people ik ended up sorta surrounding her. felt good. but like we've shared a space #together since everything. i can like be in her presence it's seriously fine. that said. i do sometimes miss her #i say this after going through the really hating her guts period bc of her evil evil evil ways. and feeling like she's lame as hell bc she #s. but i mean it's me talking i have my problems too. i Hate the way we always so naturally act in sync. and i hate that we've both picked #each others' brains for hours so it's like. i knew you once and now we can't even look each other in the eye and that just really sucks #and i feel like. not that i strictly believe in these things. but we were sort of twin flames. i largely suffered for like. basically #falling in love w her. and i know i didn't leave as much of a mark. but i still hope it sucked a little for her #and i'll admit i think it'd be some sort of miracle if we could ever talk civilly. unfortunately we work in two ways #literally behaving in Ways and borderline fucking or not speaking. so. here we are #and i already humiliatingly tried to extend an olive branch this summer so im not gonna be fucking stupid. yk #but GOD how annoying. i did talk to situationship today and we were relatively normal so at least that's not deathly awkward #it's still. definitely um. stiff. but not terrible #i need to get to the club. pretend theres a cig emoji im on desktop rn #sorry for this. #film girl saga

put some love on me

PAIRING: Ellie Williams x Fem!reader

WORD COUNT: 2.1k

WARNINGS: bestfriend!ellie, self deprecating thoughts (but not really), touch starved reader who needs to get her shit together, some actual fluff for once

*not my gif

You wish you weren’t such a fucking coward.

All you want to do is just ask somebody for a hug. Just a hug. That’s it. You don’t have a clue why it’s so fucking hard.

Dina’s the only one who’s gotten you to talk about it. You were really feeling it one day—that craving feeling in your chest that makes you want to run up to somebody and take all the touch from them you can get. You were so embarrassed she even noticed. You still don’t know how, but Dina always says she has her ways.

Nothing she said really fixed much. Just that a lack of touch leads to a craving of more—something like that. She gave you a hug after that talk but it felt so awkward, like she had only done it because she knew you needed it, not that she had wanted to do it herself. You left pretty quickly after that.

But now, standing outside Ellie’s door, you’re getting that feeling again. It always creeps up at the worst moments when you’re not expecting it; usually you just go home and suffer in your bed, alone. It passes eventually, but it sucks. It’s like torture, knowing you want it, need it, but you don’t have the guts to go out and ask for it. Because you know anyone of your friends would gladly be of service, but it just makes you feel like a burden.

Which is why you want to run and hide when Ellie opens up the door. Because for some reason, her face just brings back that hunger you have for it. The look she always has that’s so soft and welcoming (something you haven’t noticed that’s just for you), and the way her arms tightly hold the person she’s hugging close to her chest always makes your head go a bit fuzzy.

Her mouth curves up into a soft grin, “Hey, babe, c’mon in.”

Not the babe. God no NOT the time.

You swear you’re gonna lose it before you even walk in the door. You hate when she calls you babe; or any term of endearment for that matter. Only because you love it, and you hate that you love it. It’s not helping the situation at hand by any means.

You try and hide your grimace when her hand falls to your lower back when she leads you inside. Despite the amount of times you’ve been in her room, you still look around each time as if it’s only the first. You notice she’s added an extra poster on the wall since you’ve been here last, and her eyes follow you around the room as you take it in.

She smiles when you start thumbing through her comics, humming to yourself when you see something you like. She walks back over to her bed where she was practicing a tune on her guitar before you got there.

“What were you playing,” you ask softly, “ya’ know, before I interrupted.”

Ellie rolls her eyes playfully, “Shut up, I literally asked you to come over here.”

She hears you whisper a quiet whatever as you go across the room and sit on her couch. Her eyebrows furrow in confusion when you sit down and curl into yourself. Usually when she gets you to come around you’re right by her side, she doesn’t know why that’s not the case today.

“What are you doing?”

“Hm?” Your head pops up, looking at her with a soft look on your face. You seem so… out of it.

“C’mere.” She waves you over, but you don’t budge.

You shrug and try to play it off, “I’m quite comfortable here, thank you.”

You realize she’s not having it one bit as she gets up and practically marches over to you, leaning her body down to pick you up swiftly into her arms.

“Oh my god- Ellie!” You find yourself giggling into her shoulder as you smack her, but it has no real evil intent behind it. And she knows that too.

“What! You weren’t gonna come over yourself, so I did it for you!”

She throws you onto her bed, and you instantly feel the lack of warmth her hands brought when they were gripping you. It was like someone handed you a cookie, and just as you were about to eat it, they tore it away. It was so quick, you wished you’d reveled in it a bit more before she let go of you.

You scooted up to the top of her bed to lean against her headboard as she sat at the end and picked up her guitar again. Your eyes dance across her skin as you observe the small freckles and the way her hands flex when she handles the guitar. You try to wane off the feeling; forget what it felt like to be skin to skin, forget the relief that was served to you when her fingers dug into your flesh.

You didn’t notice the catch in your breath as you started thinking about it, or the way your hands started to fiddle with themselves in your lap, but she did. Ellie observed you just as you did to her, and she wished she’d seen it when you walked in.

The softness. The desperation.

You obviously need something, but she doesn’t know what.

Your nails are digging into the palms of your hands when you feel that familiar warmth return to your skin. You meet her eyes and she’s gently touching your leg.

She’s touching you. You instantly feel horrible when you move your leg away. You want to take it back immediately when her eyes fill with hurt.

“What’s up with you, huh?” Ellie’s voice fills the air and it makes you perk up.

“What?” You reply distantly. She sighs. She sets down her guitar and shuffles closer to you.

“I said, what’s up with you? Why you being weird?”

You laugh awkwardly, “Me? Being weird? I’m not being weird, how am I being weird?” Your question makes her laugh.

“I don’t know, you just…” she shrugs, “you’re not being you.”

You nod, pulling your legs up to hug them, “Okay, how am I usually.”

“Well for one, you don’t usually run away from me,” she laughs, but you can hear the discomfort in her voice.

You can’t help but frown. Her hurt makes you feel so stupid. Why couldn’t you have just acted normal, and she wouldn’t be questioning you right now. Why couldn’t you-

“Y/N.”

She’s closer. Her hands on your hands. You didn’t realize you covered your face until she peeled them away from your eyes. You try not to let out a squeak when you say huh in question.

“Please tell me what’s going on with you, how can I help?” Her head tilts and it makes your heart flutter in your chest. How do you tell your best friend that it would probably save your life if she held you so tight and never let go? How do you tell her that’s all you will ever need, but it’s something you’ve never let yourself have?

She gets it as soon as your eyes drop down to her hand. The way you suddenly look so desperate but ready to tear away from her at the same time. You can’t find it in yourself to ask, it’s too embarrassing. But it’s really not, you know that, but it feels like it. Once she gives you that look, that I get it now look, you know you’re done for.

“Honey, look at me.” Her finger nudges your chin up so you look at her, but it just makes you all the more shy. She grins, “Would you like a hug?”

You groan, letting your head fall back against the headboard. “Don’t make fun of me.”

“I’m not making fun of you!” Her smile says otherwise.

“Yes you are! And no, I don’t.” Your refusal has her raising her eyebrows at you. She knows your stubborn, but she didn’t think it would be this hard to get a confession out of you.

“Oh really?” She tsks, “I think you’re lying to me.”

“Am not!”

“Are too!”

“I don’t give a shit-”

Ellie almost scares you when she darts forward and pulls you into her, pulling you into the hug she asked for anyway. A “wha-” is halfway out your mouth when her hands fold across your back and your head gets shoved into the juncture of her neck and shoulder. She squeezes a little tighter, puffing soft breaths into your own shoulder, trying to get you to calm down.

“Can you relax for me? Jeez.” Your eyes are shut tight and you’re not even holding her back. She pulls you back and your eyes are closed, which makes her grunt in annoyance. “Open your eyes, love.” You’re breathing is sort of heavy, but you’re doing everything you can to relax. It’s so nice. The pressure of the hug, the weight of her body, it’s everything you need. But there’s that voice in the back of your head saying you don’t deserve it.

Your voice is shaky when you say, “I’m sorry.” You shake your head, and you don’t know what you’re doing when you try to pull away but you want to lean against her.

“Hey, don’t go anywhere,” her hand comes up to the back of your head and holds you there, “why are you sorry?” You shake your head. “Why are you sorry?” She demands again.

You open your eyes and she notices they’re sort of teary. “I’m sorry for making you feel bad.”

Ellie sighs at that, “Baby, I’m okay. You didn’t.”

“I did though.”

She pulls your head up and places her hands on both sides of your face. Her touch is so overwhelming. You take another shaky breath and her forehead falls against yours.

“It’s okay, baby.” Her thumbs stroke your cheeks and suddenly, all you need is more.

Just more of everything she’s giving you. She doesn’t seem burdened and she doesn’t seem upset, so you let yourself lean into her embrace. You whine when she pulls away, but she places a kiss to your brow and it makes you absolutely melt.

She holds you so close, one hand scratches the back of your neck while the other travels down the side of your body to hold you in place on her lap. She tugs you a bit closer which makes you fall even more into her. A noise of content escapes you when her fingers scratch the top of your head, and it makes her chuckle to herself.

“You are so worked up, is this all you needed?” She questions.

You groan, burrowing your head further into her neck, breathing in and out deeply so you don’t ruin this moment. She lets you sink into her, let’s you wrap your arms around her waist, all the while you’re slowly letting her patch up the broken pieces of your heart, one by one.

“Yeah.” You mumble quietly.

You slump, almost like you’re going to sleep, and she revels in it. Loves the fact that she is the one doing this for you, she is the one that can take the ache away. It makes her sad knowing it probably took you so long to say something because you thought you didn’t deserve it, and she knows, because this used to be her.

“Atta’ girl.” She kisses the side of your head.

Finally, you’re relaxing. She maneuvers the both of you so she’s sitting back against the headboard and your head is against her chest. Her hands rub up and down your back, and she doesn’t tease when you move every now and then, since you’re still getting used to the constant touching.

The ache starts to go away, but there’s that lingering sense of want that doesn’t leave you. Your hands grip the sides of her shirt, grabbing her attention away from her comic book.

“You good, baby?”

“Don’t call me baby.” You blush.

Now this she’ll tease you about.

She smirks, “why not, sweetheart? You don’t like it?”

“Shut the fuck up.”

“Aww, you know you like it.” Your head pulls up to look at her, and all she can think is you have the cutest glare out of anybody she knows.

“What did I say.”

“Shut the fuck up and accept my love you bastard.”

Your face flushes red, and you know it. You go back down without a retort and she knows she’s got you where she wants.

“Thanks, Els.”

“Yeah. Whatever.”

She says it with a smile.

[ruegarding]

Hey, quick question if you don't mind me asking, what were your thoughts on Chalice of the Gods?

overall, i wish rick stopped at toa like he said he was going to. the more rick adds, the more the world-building suffers as a result. that being said, i didn't completely hate cotg like i thought i would. there's a few good moments, but, in general, it reads like a cash-grab.

let's start with the good. percy has some of the most in-character moments he's had in the universe since pjo.

percy's confrontation w geras was so good that i actually wish this was part of percy's character arc in hoo. percy spent almost all of pjo knowing he was going to die—he saw the fates cut the string in tlt and in som he put together what the prophecy meant: he was going to die either at or before 16. and this is exactly why this confrontation works and why i think it's better than new rome. new rome can protect a demigod from monsters, not from fate. percy wasn't scared of monsters. if he was, he would've stayed at chb year-round.

and i really like that geras was willing to entertain percy bc he had turned down godhood. like the first time percy ever thinks abt immortality seriously (in botl) this is what he has to say:

so immortality is fundamentally at odds w percy's character bc he defines himself so thoroughly w the ppl he loves. and this is exactly what allows him to get through to geras! it's such a good exploration of percy's character and the future he's now able to consider.

similarly, this section

is more in-character than almost all of hoo. this is a prime example of how percy's loyalty works and addresses how it's misconstrued in fandom. percy has a desire for freedom, and that desire informs how he respects ppl. percy's loyalty isn't a possessive "i won't let you do this" bc he will, he will always let someone make their own choice at the end of the day bc it's what he would want. and this was actually established in tlt, when sally says "you're enough like me to understand" and asks percy to let her save herself. so percy lets bianca fight talus, he lets nico walk away, he gives luke the knife, he lets ganymede choose his own story, even when he disagrees w it. and this is why percy's arc in hoo sucked! rick tried to give percy the typical hero complex, but it's contradictory w percy's character. so when i saw this passage i was so relieved. i thought this part of percy died w pjo.

also, to talk abt someone other than percy, this moment

is good. i love this abt annabeth.

and grover saying the hardest thing is sitting by and not being able to do anything. bc grover is usually in a support role and he wasn't there at all in hoo. i also like that percy is confronted w the fact that he's not expendable. thumbs up from me.

the bad...i'm just going to keep short bullet points.

what even is this plot

it doesn't work as part of pjo and yet it's marketed as the sixth book in the series

why is zeus a disney villain. i hate everything abt it

the inconsistencies...annabeth's cap...why are we continuing to treat percy like he's disinterested in learning??? also. what do you mean you're not allowed at camp after you turn 18? WHAT DO YOU MEAN????? this was not a thing. and wasn't rhea in hiding or something?? now she's casually having brunch?

there's too much "percy is the stupid bf and annabeth is the competent gf who takes care of him." i hated every second of this. also annabeth is disabled. her being intelligent does not remove her disability. she struggles.

i rbed that post abt disaster cook annabeth and good cook percy and i stand by that.

the power monologue makes no damn sense (and another addition by op in the tags)

no seriously i'm begging someone to have a real conversation and understand percy is terrified of how powerful he is. i've been waiting for this since botl. WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN 2008 BTW

i'm not a huge estelle or paul fan. like they're fine they're just not compelling.

the only time i feel sally and percy have the same connection as they had in tlt is when they're alone. this is a problem i've had for a while, but cotg does not fix it. when paul and annabeth are in the equation, it feels like percy is the outsider.

in summary, cotg is like a fanfic i would leave kudos for being a good percy character study despite having questionable moments. except it's canon. and these questionable things affect the world-building.

#thanks for asking! i love having an excuse to ramble #sorry for the extra character study but this is the edited version it used to be longer LMAO #cotg spoilers #rr crit #answered

[menelaiad]

can I prompt you to talk about Menelaus sparing Helen I'm just like :chinhands: about everything u say about the house of atreus

hey, if you're willing to listen, i'm more than happy to talk - thank you!

so. again. we got Big Three versions.

menelaus says 'guys it's chill i'll kill her at home. let's all cool our jets' (this is the version in euripides)

menelaus goes to kill her himself. helen shows her boobs. menelaus suddenly very chill (this is also implied by euripides)

menelaus gets men to kill her. helen shows her boobs. men suddenly very chill (stesichorus)

CAN YOU GUESS WHICH TWO I DESPISE? no. fr. the last two (the boob two) are far too dependent on helen being vain. and helen .... almost not feeling any guilt or shame from what's happened. and we know that's not true from the iliad. these two, to me, are classic. THIS IS JUST HOW HOT HELEN WAS propaganda. cause yknow. ur a greek/roman/ancient dude and you hear that helen of sparta showed you her boobs like 'damn bro i wouldn't kill her either ahahahaha pass the wine, maximus'.

but helen was never vain. she was never arrogant. she was confident and self-assured. but it's pretty much everyone AROUND helen that comments on her beauty and stuff. she never really does herself? which is another fascinating element of her character tbh. so her doing THIS as a means to be spared? doesn't suit me. do i think helen wanted to die/was willing to die? no. but i think she would have gone about pleading for her life a different way, y'know? also i hate the whole 'her tits got her into this mess they'll get her out of it' like shut UP. menelaus is not 12. he's fucking 60 odd at this point. he is tired. he is wounded. he is so beyond mentally well. give him some respect. he wouldn't have been blind sided by this.

but i don't think menelaus EVER planned to kill her. i can accept euripudes' version cause i think there would have been a lot of greek men that would have wanted to see helen dead. it makes sense yknow? they dont see the full narrative. the big picture. as far as they're concerned helen ran away. loads of people died. and now she's gonna get away with it. they're not narrative aware enough to see all the cogs of fate and the gods and all this. so i can respect that some greeks would have wanted her to suffer and menelaus would have risked a fuckin riot if he outright said 'nah lads she's fine lets crack on' so the whole 'wait til we get home' narrative is a good way for him to save time. to buy him and helen some time to come up with a plan, a story. to hear each other out. to work through stuff. they don't get back to sparta for like. 10 more years. they can EASILY have come up with some reason why she's not been killed yet. or why he's not gonna go through with it/why it's all worked out.

in regards to menelaus never wanting to kill her, i believe that because of how menelaus behaves in the iliad. menelaus is constantly lamenting the deaths of the greeks. the needless death and suffering. how these men are working and sacrificing to get helen back. to bring her HOME. what would killing her do? another senseless death. all the sacrifice for naught because menelaus doesnt get his wife back. he goes back to sparta alone. as if he never even went to fucking troy and tried to get her back?????

and also because menelaus loves her. despite everything he loves her and he never stopped. it's why i really like his portrayal in IOA even if he is a giant ass clown. he's a man desperate to get his wife back. and he's under the impression they're just gonna go to troy and get her back. simple as. two months tops. he's frantic and desperate and willing to try anything to get her back (yo bro kill ur daughter for me kthx). and i don't think that desire to get her back changes. menelaus grows more subdued and quiet. and has less fire. but he's still trying. he goes toe to toe with paris, is willing to take on hektor. menelaus is very much: 'i am dying at troy or i am leaving with my wife' and how is that not love? it's literally. he is going to get her back or die trying.

(also idk how much people value to fall of troy texts that are around but like. menelaus kills deiphobus in those. when dei is with helen. the man is insane in those moments he could easily have took helen out too in his madness. but he doesn't. also also. when he's in the horse and he hears helen, he's said to 'groan' when he remembers her and given the context of the other men weeping and stuff. this is like. a groan of pain. hearing helen's voice after so long and remembering her. HURTS him. he's missed her so much.)

menelaus and helen loved each other. you see it in odyssey 4. the healing they must have gone through in those 10 years. is so admirable and powerful. and they did it because they wanted to. because they were gonna see this out. they were gonna make this work. and even zeus acknowledges it. because he lets menelaus into elysium just to be with helen (his own DAUGHTER) for eternity. even though menelaus has LITERALLY no elysium qualities. not even zeus cant bear to separate these two.

they're just so fucking powerful.

#long post for ts /// #menelaus #yes i am starting to tag my menelaus stuff. ive studied him for a decade. #ive given talks on him. ive written papers and been referenced in essays im about him #2023 is the year i embrace the 'menelaus expert' meme #that isn't ............. talking to a class and having them stare at me for like an hour #i have no idea if anyone agrees with ANYTHING i ever say #but i refuse to be silenced tbh #havent been quiet about the HOA for ten years. im not starting now #thank you for the kind words though friend!!! this passion has a very special place in my heart #it's nice to have an outlet for my menelaus thoughts <3

[idyllic-affections]

DON'T.... BECAUSE KAVEH'S YOUNGER!SIBLING BEING ANGRY IN THEIR STEAD.. im so sorry for swarming ur inbox but ydbihsjakdas

i could just IMAGINE their arguments about it

"she's our MOTHER, you don't disrespect her like that!"

"yeah, but she ABANDONED us!"

"she didn't abandon us-"

"YES SHE DID! she ran away and left us here, in sumeru, because she was hurting. i know."

"she deserves to be happy-"

"but what about us? what about me? what about you? she sounds SO much happier with our step siblings, and she doesn't even visit us! you can't keep defending her!

you can love her all you want, i don't care. you say she's our mother, but she's been absent ever since dad died."

"you have to understand-"

"I DO UNDERSTAND! and you took care of her when she was sad. you took care of me because she was sad. you were a child too, and you were more of a mother to me than her!"

"don't say that-"

"just because she's my mom doesn't mean i have to like her!"

kinda projected here but good god this makes me wanna explode. i like to think kaveh's younder!sibling has been going through that "rebellious teen phase", but it's not a phase, it's just how they are after growing up with a pretty absent mom and dead dad. they see how much their brother suffer, they 100% wanna help him, but they're going through it too yk??

imagine how frustrating it is for them whenever kaveh talks about their mom and he always says nice things about her but they could see the sheer bitterness, guilt, and melancholy in his eyes. they can't help but hate her for not being there for them (i like to think they're maybe an infant or very very young when it happened) n making their big bro, their parental figure, go through this horrible mess.

n they just kinda grew up with that hate w/o telling kaveh bc they didn't wanna add into his plate of problems. but the hate slowly manifested with other stuff until they went from 'not wanting to cause trouble for kaveh' to 'i cause trouble because i can't control myself and i need to release my anger on something else'

so ya i think kaveh's younger!sibling would be temperamental n people see them kinda like a bully, opposite of kaveh :( even if kaveh raised them kindly, i think reader's hatred to their mom saved them from copying kaveh's self destructiveness...

which caused kinda of a strain in their relationship when reader became a teen

(on the flip side for some reason i think reader would get along with alhaitham more (which would hurt kaveh tbh) bc alhaitham's mentality clashes so much against kaveh's n it's probably what reader needs more... they probably preferred alhaitham's "you're allowed to get angry at things you felt was unfair, even if she's your mother" than kaveh's "she still loves us... she just- she just needed to move on to be happy. she deserves it.")

sorry i kinda developed a whole reader here and maybe this is incoherent blabbering im gonna hide now >q< feel free to ignore !!

NOOOOO NO DON'T HIDE I AM HEARING YOU OUT SOO MUCH RN WE ARE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH

ohhh the strain that would come as a consequence of that rage and pain... sigh. parentified kaveh is so real, honestly, because with how bad faranak's mental health became, she definitely would not have been able to raise her youngest child. kaveh would be the one to raise them. kaveh would be the one they ran to when they scraped their knee. kaveh would be the one to kiss away their tears. kaveh would be the one to help them with homework and little things like that.

it would always be kaveh.

(and i think faranak would be painfully aware of the way they no longer come to her for comfort and consolation, but i don't think she would be able to feel bad about it until years later, because she's already so... fucked up. she would just be glad that someone was nurturing her child, even if that had to be kaveh.)

i think [name]'s anger would be a good and important testament to how well kaveh really raised them, though.

(but of course, it would also prove dangerous and self-destructive which i mention a bit further down in the post!!)

one who values themselves is one who feels angry when mistreated.

and [name] is fucking livid, for both themselves and kaveh. [name] is aware of faranak's neglect. because kaveh taught them to love themselves more than he could ever even hope to love himself. kaveh raised them well, even if that responsibility never should have been his in the first place.

so it honestly hurts them both when they fight like that.

"don't you dare disrespect her, [name]. you have no idea what she did for us." "what she did for us?! what the hell-- kaveh, she left us for some random fucking guy neither of us have ever met! how can you not see what's wrong with that?!" "do not talk about her like that. she did her best. doesn't she deserve to be happy, [name]? doesn't she?!" "oh," they'd scoff, "so 'her best' is abandoning her kids, parentifying her oldest son, and running from her past like a fucking coward?" they would roll their eyes and turn away at that point. "no, kaveh. she doesn't. neither of us are, so why does she deserve to be happy?" they'd then leave.

and consider this dialogue somewhere in there:

"she isn't my mother. she didn't raise me. you can like and defend that woman all you want, but she never was and never will be my mother."

they care so much about what kaveh went through for them. they are so painfully aware of the sacrifices he made to raise them. you know how parentified oldest siblings are usually the only ones aware of the abuse and neglect, whereas the younger siblings they raised think their parent is an angel who did no wrong? it's the opposite here.

and [name] getting along better with alhaitham in their teens... you are so right. they would.

i can imagine them fighting like this in alhaitham's home, and when [name] finally gets pissed off enough that they just leave to cool down, kaveh also retreats and stays in his room for a bit. but a few minutes later, when he comes back out, alhaitham is gone.

he left after [name], because a pissed off teen out wandering alone in sumeru and possibly sumeru's wilderness is unsafe.

(i feel like [name]'s anger could translate into ambition. hmm. pyro vision [name], maybe?)

kaveh knows they get along better with alhaitham nowadays, and i think it hurts him so much. but... he also does want what is best for them, and maybe. just maybe he is not best for them anymore.

(little does he know, they cry a lot to his roommate about just... wanting their brother. but not being able to open up to him like they used to because he'll only keep making excuses for their mother. and he'll only keep hurting himself in the process. and they don't want to see him destroy himself.)

alhaitham would validate their feelings more than kaveh would. he believes they should be pissed. he's not good with tears and feelings in general, but he is rather decent when it matters. and it very much matters when it comes to kaveh's mentally and emotionally wounded younger sibling.

i think alhaitham is better for them at this point in their life. and, you know, i feel like... in a way, he could help them learn to be less destructive. because also i feel like [name] is self-destructive in their own way, too. they get pissed and push away the people they love (aka kaveh). and they're hurting themselves in the process, but it's in a less obvious way than how kaveh is hurting himself (all the overworking, constantly doing everything for everyone, etc etc).

alhaitham is so blunt and straightforward and it would be refreshing compared to the mental gymnastics kaveh does to justify what faranak has done. and honestly, the factual truth is that [name] is allowed to be angry. alhaitham knows that and he's very clear about it.

and hear me out--

[name] enrolling in the akademiya, but instead of the expected darshan (kshahrewar or something similar)... they enroll in haravatat. just a thought.

they're probably just kind of mean in general compared to their brother, and i think that comes as a surprise to a lot of people, but i mean... who can blame them?

they need to go to family therapy HELSPDKDHSKGA

#aphelion replies: moots 🌸 #WORD VOMIT POST SORRY YOU GUYS BUT THE BRAIN IS BRAINING YK......

[kaoarika]

Even though I'm already up to date with the Undead Unluck series, I am stll buying the physical edition of the manga (I recently finished vol 8) and I'm currently re-reading what I have read with more knowledge behind (so, spoilers).

I did notice stuff like:

How Fuuko hasn't fathomed the seriousness of how God(s) are playing with the negators as toys, until Apocalypse notes to her that, just because they are doing the challenges and some rewards are "neat", they still have to suffer the consequences of those challenges, for good and bad (speaking of which, didn't Union in the 101th loop not only defeated Autumn but ALSO killed them? like, no more autumn as a season?)

Wow, I didn't realize how FAST winter took down everything since Summer wasn't no more.

The whole "Billy isn't bad, actually" was THERE. I think the hints on how Unfair works are shown in the chapter where Juiz and Billy fight each other... but Teller/Tella gives the hints on how it activates, Fuuko's Unluck is a "weird" ability... but he mentions something about "show me your heart", and she... reacts normally - she doesn't look angry... there's no hate, nothing. She only wants to save people from dying from the weather's imbalance as quick as possible, first and foremost. She never seemed to "hate" Billy as she was set in trying to understand why he betrayed Union. That's also why Billy never replicated her Unluck ability.

I love the extras from the manga? (As how it tells us about how Feng got Unfade, and the after events when Burn stole the roundtable) And I'm particularly curious on why Billy recruited the others. I would understand his main two team, Creed and Teller, or Feng, and Rip and Latla... but the others? Yusai is a bit of a question mark, although I understand it might have been because of her connection towards Andy. Unless Billy was also recruiting negators as an "alternative" to strategize how to defeat Sun w/o Union. He does mention much more later on that most of the negators in Union are teenagers and/or kids, and "they don't belong to the battleground" (I mean, good for him in thinking that way... but he also had Bunny, a literal child in his team and wanted to recruit Tatiana, too... they DO have useful negator abilities, but let's be real, Billy).

I do feel, that, whatever Feng mentions here where he never saw Shen nor Mei as his family, deeply inside he does start to regret some of those choices, as it seems he still looks for Shen as his disciple in the extra, lol (also during the final 11 or so minutes for the next loop to happen). We all know these days that, although he was forced by Fuuko in Loop 101 to take care of Shen and Mei, he finally had something he surely lacked in the previous loop.

I'm still kinda amazed of how much of a shut-in was Fuuko during her teenage years. It isn't too obvious but you see it when she goes to Chikara's school (the first time) and when the ice and snow from Winter melts once Winter is destroyed.

I really wish a fanbook. I know that there are still negators left to look for in the 101th Loop (between the most anticipated ones like Andy or Juiz), but I really want to know what's the deal with the ones we don't really have so much info about (those that were from Under). Like, sure, their motives and stories are going to change in some aspects, but for real, real, what was their DEAL pre-101?

cfpom + 'Za! ( pizza )

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO alright alright alright alright!

sorry if i sound really excited i'm getting really close to being done writing chapter thirteen <3 ALSO I LOVE THIS ASK SO MUCH OMG

the cfpom definitely get together and do smash tournaments and try to kill each other playing overcooked and mario party ( whoever has marjorine on their team is literally suffering in hell because marj is so bad god bless her ) and like everything in their friendship exists on like a rotating system of payments, barters and favors, no one keeps exact track of dollar amounts EXCEPT FOR KYLE BECAUSE HES INSANE AND A MATH KING. but they have like 'turns' so every week or so they trade off who is buying the pizza and what's on it.

( except for stan who like...is gods vegan angel emphasis on vegan and angel bc hes too nice to make everyone suffer thru vegan pizza so he gets his own and anyone who wants a slice can have one...except for cartman if hes mean to kyle more than three times a kickback...yes hes on a quota...yes he fails every time )

**kenny also had a brief stint of working at dominos and was carrying the team for a while there...even as the brokest bitch...icon behavior

anyways...PIZZA HC TIME COWABUNGA DUDE! *hang loose*

ok starting off...i'd say strong but its weak...i hate you cartman...he is definitely ordering...whatever the equivalent of ordering the arby's Meat Mountain is but for pizza...like whatever the meat lovers man meaty man man meat testosterone surprise special for meaty beefy men is...theres like no sauce or the sauce is ranch based oh my god...the whole butchers shop is on that thing its horrifying

and like i really do not think stan minds at all with meat being eaten around him...but every crunchy boy vegan plant based bone in stans body screams out in pain and revulsion if hes within like five inches of fartmans meaty man pizza...he is like EWEWEWEW!!!! fully gaggin

stan like jumps into kyles lap in horror to get away from it and kyle is half like...thank u for ur service fartman being useful for ONCE...and is half like u are absolutely revolting 2 me u disgusting waste facility

he is also making...too many sexual noises eating that pizza...Jail!

kenny and marjorine are pineapple on pizza TRUTHERS! ( so am i )

like pep!canon kenny is the pina colada chapstick, he is a tropical king! fruity legend! taste buds are immaculate hes ahead of his time

he definitely believes in hawaiian pizza supremacy...but i feel like his go to pizza order is definitely like bacon jalapeno pineapple because he's like...its sweet...its salty...its spicy like its the perfect piece of pizza like he is basically deadpool...i also think he likes banana peppers...i cant say why ( ok buffalo chicken pizza ALSO )

LIKE I SAID HE ALSO WORKED AT DOMINOS FOR A BIT ( kenny having a revolving door of rotating jobs in pep is so funny to me ) and he definitely ate pizza nonstop for months ( did he hold that job that long??? idk??? ) when he worked at dominos he totally got to bring home one pizza a shift so the boys were eating for free for a while...

...BUT I CANT SAY THEY WERE EATING GOOD BC KENNY WAS INFAMOUS FOR MAKING THE MOST FOUL HIGH AT 2AM STONER SPECIAL PIZZA SURPRISES FROM HELL...i dont want to talk about the hamburger pizza he made one time...absolutely horrifying. THEYRE LIKE KENNY WHY IS THERE CHOCOLATE ON THIS BRO KHDSK HEEEEEELP

they were eating...Interesting...thats for damn sure. smh like kENNY!!

marj...ok u know what...i really think she could fuck extremely heavy w a barbeque sauce moment ( take us to the south miss marjorine! ) like one of those like barbeque chicken pizzas with the onions and the garlic and some RANCH!!!!! she is fucking it up!!!!! ( or like even like a white sauce alfredo moment...decadent...beautiful ) and she is using her knife and her fork and everything like a classy lady! she can eat a surprising amount of pizza...everyone is lowkey impressed.

i really do not wanna do kyle this dirty but like...i really do no think he is having any pizza that is not like Cheese Pizza...unless it has extra cheese on it. kyle does not fuck with vegetables that aren't potatoes...also all the toppings on pizza just getting recklessly scattered aggravates the fuck out of his ocd he is like this is a textural and sensory nightmare and kenny is like dude...ily but they can't put exactly ten toppings in a perfect line down the middle...and hes like...they could if they tried...smh...kenny did it for kyle once...kyle said it was the mot beautiful thing hes ever seen...next 2 stan marsh

also he is painfully WHITE he cannot have a modicum of spice or he will die and pass away...but....BUT! he will...OCASSIONALLY...eat pepperoni...but ONLY because stan calls it Kyle Pile Pizza because "it has freckles just like you" and it was SOOOOOOO cute that kyle was like willing to endure that one modicum of spice for stan...true luv

( also i do feel like he puts the napkin in his shirt, turns his head at the exact angle he needs to minimize grease on his face....he did Complex Calculations for it...and does take all the toppings off and stan gets all the little veggies and kenny can have the meat...wow...

....The Power of Friendship...And Undiagnosed Mental Illness <3 )

stan though? ohhhhhhh my god. i feel like whatever their vegan pizza veggie delight ( fartman calls it stan salad smh ) is with like...listen a pesto sauce base moment....ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DECIMATED. kyle is so precise and careful and stan is like CHAOTIC when eating. like all of the ferality he displays w sugar stan channels into fast food ( he is literally a garbage disposal ) its an EVENT! especially if stan is really drunk or really hungover ( which he is either most of the time )

every single sauce is out and every single sauce is on that pizza like the whole pizza is just a vessel for one million sauces. he is like throwing beers back like nobodys business. no napkins he is a nasty nasty nasty boy!!! Digusting!!! shit is FLYING like stan is rollin pizzas into a burrito shape for maximum bite, there is sauce all over his face on his clothes, bell pepper in his hair...ITS IMPRESSIVE AND ITS HORRIFYING SDHLKDS kenny is like clapping and high fives him like a proud dad kyle is so scared hes going to choke and die....cryin...

really all around...as a gang just...incredible work...love them.

-uncle nina <3

mlist | prev | next

“XIARA” Hanbin yelled out to his sister.

“WHAT” Xiara yelled in response.

“We're like- 15 minutes late! You don’t need to cover your tattoo with make-up, just come down already!” Hanbin yelled in frustration.

Xiara sighed dramatically before exiting her room and making her way down the stairs.

Hanbin stiffled a laugh when he saw the makeup job his sister had done on her finger.

"That looks like plastic surgery gone horrible wrong."

Xiara scowled, "Don't make this weirder than it already is."

Hanbin laughed at her while she grabbed her backpack. He held the door open for her.

“What are you doing..?” Xiara asked with suspicion laced in her voice.

“Ladies first!” Hanbin smiled cheekily at her.

Xiara just rolled her eyes and made her way through the door. Both of them walked in comfortable silence.

Once they had reached, Hanbin bid his sister goodbye and headed over to where his friends were waiting for him. As she was walking she saw Percy standing alone. She walked up to him.

“Hello Captain Quack!” She called him, because he hates it and his suffering is her joy.

“Hello Captain Moo!” He replied, rolling his eyes.

“Where’s your girlfriend?” She asked.

“She’s in dance. I’m waiting for your soulmate, by the way.” he said, smirking.

“I only asked you where Yeonmi was but, thanks.” She sighed in annoyance. She really hoped she would not run into Yeonjun today.

As she turned around to go to the dance studio to find Yeonmi, a tall figure appeared behind her. She bumped into their chest.

“Oh my god! I’m sor-” As soon as she turned around and saw who it was, she shut her mouth.

“Oh, you.” she frowned.

“Hey, what is that supposed to mean?” Yeonjun raised his eyebrow.

Of course, it HAD to be Choi Yeonjun out of the 1000+ people that go to this school. They were standing so close she was pretty sure he could feel her breath against his body. She was shorter than Yeonjun but then again, who isn’t? (don’t you dare bring up percy, Yeonjun will literally find you and murder you 😍) so, he towered over her. She moved away from him.

“Uh, I have to go and uhm- find Yeonmi! Right. I forgot about that.” She said and bolted to the dance studio.

“Damn, she must really not like you.” Percy snickered at his friend.

“Oh, shut up. All the ladies love me.” He smirked.

“Yeonjun, I’ve told you several times. It’s not healthy to be delusional.” he patted Yeonjun on the back, earning an annoyed look from the latter.

“Anyway, I’ve got Mrs. Na for the first period, she hates when I’m late which is nearly every day so, bye!” He said and left Yeonjun alone standing by myself.

[ xiara's pov ]

time skip to lunch [ Yeonmi - 3rd person ]

“Hwang Yeonmi?” Mrs. Kim called out her name as she was making her way to the cafeteria.

“Huh?” She stopped in her tracks and turned around.

“Oh, hello Mrs. Kim! Is there anything you need?” She asked politely.

“Oh, yes. Is it okay if you switch partners for the science project? Jiwon here is new and I want her to pair up with Percy since he’s pretty smart.” She explained, introducing the girl beside her.

Jiwon seemed sweet so, she smiled at her. She rolled her eyes at Yeonmi. Okay wow, rude much?

“Oh. Me and Percy already started working on the project.” She said to Mrs. Kim.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just wanted to be paired up with someone with experience since I’m new.” Jiwon pouted.

Lord she is so cringe, Yeonmi thought. She tried her best to be nice the whole time.

“Oh,” was all she could muster up.

“Can you do it?” Mrs.Kim asked.

“So, does this mean I have to do the project on my own?” I asked Mrs.Kim.

“Ah yes, you would. Is that okay?” she looked at her with puppy eyes. (why is an old woman acting like this? idk js go with it 🫶).

“Sure, I’ll let Percy know.” She smiled at her.

“Great! Introduce Jiwon to Percy while you’re at it, will you?” said Mrs. Kim, smiling widely.

“Uhm, yeah sure.” Yeonmi was feeling very uncertain, but it’s not like she really had a choice.

After Ms. Kim left the two of them alone, the tension in the air was intense.

“Hi! I’m Hwang Yeonmi.” She put her hand out for her to shake.

“Don’t try to play nice. I know you don’t like the fact that I’m here.” Jiwon rolled her eyes, annoyed.

“I’m not, though?” Yeonmi raised her eyebrow.

“Whatever. Just introduce me to this Percy guy and get it over with.” she said.

The walk to the cafeteria was silent.

“Yeonmi!” Xiara ran towards her best friend.

“Hey Xia! Happy birthday love.” Yeonmi hugged her.

“Thank you so much!" She noticed Jiwon.

"Who is this?” she whispered.

“Jiwon. I’m supposed to introduce her to Percy.” Yeonmi whispered back.

“Hello? I’m standing right here.” Jiwon said.

“Right, come on. I’ll introduce you.” They walked to the group’s table.

“Yo, where were you all day?” Yeonjun asked.

“Since when do you sit at our table?” Yeonmi questioned.

“Oh, Xiara invited me!” he smiled.

She looked at Xiara in confusion. “I’ll explain later.” she said. Yeonmi shrugged.

“And to answer your question, I have stuff to do other than hang with you guys all day.”

“Right. like I didn’t catch you and Percy making out earlier.” Jungwon deadpanned.

“Oh, shut it, Jungwon, you’re just jealous you don’t get bitches” Percy retorted as Yeonmi facepalmed in embarrassment.

“So, she’s sitting with us?” Hanbin asked.

“I don’t know. Do you want to?” Yeonmi asked Jiwon, hoping for a no.

“Sure! That would be great.” she smiled, widely as she sat next to Percy, also where Yeonmi was supposed to sit.

She ignored Jiwon the whole time. On the brightside, Xiara and Yeonjun seemed to be getting along, which was super weird. The last time she saw them together, they were trying to rip each other’s heads off.

“What class do you guys have next?” Raven asked.

“Biology” Percy and Jiwon replied at the same time.

“I have Physics.” Yeonjun said.

“Me too.” Warren replied.

“I have art, anyone else?” Yeonmi asked.

“Oh, me!” Daniel said.

“Me too!” Xiara replied.

[ art class - Xiara 3rd person ]

Xiara tried her best to be nice to Yeonjun, and it was definitely more complicated than she thought. Although she called him a donkey, she doesn’t think anyone noticed it! She even invited him over to their lunch table! If that isn’t being nice, she doesn’t know what is. Xiara, Daniel, and Yeonmi were walking to art together while she explained the whole ‘Xiara and yeonjun being nice to each other’ situation.

“After years of hatred I never thought you guys would actually make up,” Daniel said.

“Me too, no way you guys made up in a few hours,” Yeonmi added.

“Honestly, I still have many problems with Yeonjun, I’m just trying to push them aside for now and being nice to him,” Xiara told them both as they reached the classroom.

Okay, Xiara is NOT good at art. The only reason she took the godforsaken subject was for extra credits. She spent most of the class asking Yeonmi for drawing ideas, while Daniel finished up his art piece from last week.

“Come on, Yeonmi! you have to have atleast one idea for me!” She was practically begging Yeonmi at this point.

“Oh, I have one! What if you shut up for once?” she smiled at her.

Xiara simply rolled her eyes. “No.”

[ meanwhile somewhere else in the school....]

"I have been in love with Yeonjun for a whole year, and just when I thought I finally had him just where I wanted him, that Xiara girl swooped in and stole him from me." Jieun (the girl from the end of this chapter) ranted to her gang while aggressively waving her spoon around.

"Hey, hey calm down. It's okay. I had lunch with her friend group today, and I think I know just how to get Yeonjun back in your arms." Jiwon smirked at her friend.

"One, why did you have lunch with those weirdos? Two, what's the plan?" Jieun asked her curiously.

"Well, I had lunch with them because Mrs. Kim wanted me to have a smart study partner, which is that really cute boy I've been talking about, you know, Percy?"

Jieun and the rest of their friends nod.

"And for the plan, all we need is a marker and a picture of Xiara's soulmate mark." Jiwon says, as she opens twitter to show Xiara's post from that morning.

“You have nothing to be ashamed of. You did what you had to do.”

"You have nothing to be ashamed of."

She's talking to herself, and her voice is too loud in this tiny space. She pours herself a shot - but really, she's pouring directly into a normal glass so it's more like pouring herself a shot and a half, or two, because she's sure as hell not measuring.

"Nothing."

The words are hollow. She knocks back the liquor and then coughs, leaning forward as it burns all the way down. She has to chase it with water, gulping down the cool clear liquid, swallow after swallow until she sits back, mouth wet, dripping down her chin until she wipes it with one arm.

"Shit, god damn... damn it."

She has to hit pause, and use her finger to scroll back a few seconds. Then, the little music starts back up again - peaceful and serene, the background a calming series of blues in a sort of gradient, shifting and evolving.

"You have nothing to be ashamed of," She repeats, along with the soft, authoritative voice of the video's narrator. They sound almost like a harmony. "You did what you had to do."

Joanne Botham takes a deep breath, and pours herself another shot.

Just as she does, she hears something fall to the ground with a thump from the little storage room and jumps, her heart in her throat until she gives a nervous laugh.

She hits the pause button again.

The door to the storage room opens, and Tristan wanders out. He sways, making her feel seasick just watching him, as he walks with flat feet and without looking up at her to the little hallway bathroom, disappearing inside. His red hair sticks up from his head, and Joanne thinks for a second that her teenage nephew isn't actually atrocious-looking, like that.

After a long pause, the toilet flushes. The sink runs. He reappears, blinking a little now. He pauses in the doorway, finally seeing her, and she looks back at him, glass in hand. "A-... Aunt Jo?"

"Go to bed, Tris," She says, pitching her voice to be steely, hard, without give or even the barest hint of affection.

"It's, it's, um, it's, it must be-... it h-has t, to to to-to be-"

"Three a.m.? Yeah, I know. I have the day off. I said go to bed."

"But w-... why... why did you take the, the, the day off?" His voice is slurred with sleep. He wears a loose-fitting t-shirt and equally loose pajama pants, his arms heavily muscled from gymnastics. Not that he goes any longer.

"I have a meeting," She replies, evenly. "In the afternoon. To take care of some stuff after Ronnie."

His green eyes widen, just a little, and search hers. Immediately, she sees nothing but goddamn Paul fucking Higgs in the narrowness of it, the freckles, the stupid fucking Irish of it all.

She hates him, so much - Paul and his bastard, ruining her sister's life, getting Ronnie killed. Her fingers tighten around the glass.

"Mom? Can, can, can, can I help with, with, with... with whatever it is you have to do? Can, can, can I help?"

"No."

"But, but, but if it's about Mom-"

"Go to goddamn sleep, can you not fucking hear me? Are you deaf now, too, on top of everything else wrong with you?"

Her voice is louder than she means it to be, and Tristan flinches back from her. She catches the flare of pure childlike hurt in his face before he hurries back into his room - her storage room, which he stole from her, just like his father stole her sister's love, just like he stole her sister's entire life.

She's taken the day off, all right. So she can meet with the Acquisitions team and tell them about the little birthday dinner she's going to plan for her stupid fucking nephew to solve all her problems once and for all.

She scrolls back on the video, takes a deep breath, and starts all over again.

"You have nothing to be ashamed of... you did what you had to do."

She'll do what she has to do.

She has nothing to be ashamed of.

She's done nothing wrong.

She's not the one who got Ronnie killed, after all. She's not the one who should have to suffer for it.

thinking about Astraeus' route.. more like the versions I have;

1- The canon way. MC really fell in love with Hades. Astraeus pined for her badly on Earth. Hades betrayed her to the pantheon — and so on. We love a suffering male lead. It's kinda really charming that he waited so long for her even without the possibility of her ever returning his affections even if he was dying from being on Earth. Kinda sickly. I love it.

2- Double agent way. MC seduced Hades to use him because she hates the gods for what they did to her mother and while she grows fond of Hades it's been always her plan, to take down H.E.R.A. She doesn't trust Astraeus though and only after he said his loyalty to his brother is over does she meet him and they have this intense connection so she agrees to break up w Hades n instead work inside H.E.R.A to take the pantheon down w Astraeus providing outside support. Here I think they'd start as friends with benefits thing? (at least from MC' perspective as he's already very much in love) She keeps Hades busy n suspicions off of her she tries to figure out this weird thing between her n Astraeus. This is kinda my fave bc it has Hades' route and Astraeus' sketchy introduction & obsession w/o getting too long PLUS MC tends to Astraeus as he's beaten up from that fight with Hades and experiencing Earth for the first time, now w MC n them sharing a bed & trusting & getting to know each other before they devote themselves to each other eternally... I feel like it's needed - a step between enemies and devotion forever u know.

3- No Hades way. Not sure how to go with it tbh... I suppose in that case it starts like the other routes and Astraeus is arrested in H.E.R.A. maybe just before Pallas attacked he uses this information to gain a little trust and prevent the first explosion in Olympus. Maybe his case is proving titans deserve freedom and the route is about finding clues and researching ways to make peace between them without war. Because Astraeus fought so much and it led nowhere. Might as well try this way. Here, the Hera edge is dealt with the MC already being Hera, meaning all this time she was living, she was actually turning into her gradually without noticing because her power and presence is too overwhelming. Astraeus helps her come to terms with it and it helps him make peace with the Olympians too. Peace and Love on the Planet Earth. In Lost Kisses, you deal with other titans but also some gods trying to sabotage the peace.

5 hours of sleep squad …. i honestly dont know how well i sleep but today i had a dream and alhaitham and kaveh were in it (i only got to chat w haitham tho) i was in this gigantic ass library type thing and it looked so cool , the entire thing was made out of dark brown wood and it was so pretty (i actually had another dream where i was in the same building before where i was running errands around the “school” HAHAH) but yeah since it was a library / school type place i was obviously there to learn shiz and — this is the weird part — the lesson was on dreams !!!!!!! and like bro ?? are my dreams becoming self aware ? 😨 i thought the lesson was interesting but alhaitham tried to gaslight me into not liking it (an exaggeration , he just thought i was lying when i said it was interesting) i think he was supposed to be like ,,, a helper to me in the dream idfk it was funky as hell - sorry for going off on a tangent about my dream LMFAO

WHSJSJ fischl is my baby shes one of the first 4*s i got and i kinda relate to her on some level , i too love playing pretend , but mostly when i was younger id pretty much spend all my recess roleplaying with my friends . trying to imitate my favorite characters is a pastime ive always enjoyed , and it honestly makes me insanely happy when people say i kinda act like my faves (ig its smth i do subconsciously LOL) because its like “WAIT . THEY THINK IM LIKE THIS INSANELY COOL CHARACTER I LOVE WITH A BURNING PASSION ???? [inaudible screaming]” recently ive found myself a new genshin rp friend and . dude . id never have thought that playing as alhaitham would be so goddamn fun . screenies for funnies:

(making cynos joke was so much fun too so i included it)

bro i lost my mf 50/50 to jeAN on haithams banner - not even a diluc , tall men hate me ig LMAO and it really doesnt help that ive been drained as hell from school lately so ive been slacking w my fricking primo farming ;_;

YESS the fungi event was lovely but tbh … the entire event i was just yelling about how i wanted to see cyno HAHAHAH - i suffer with chronic writers block (/hj) so . like . [dead alex sound]

GREAT NEWS my injury has healed hooray !!

absolutely , escaping school is great , id probably go on more field trips if it didnt mean id have to do makeup work tbh , i hate doing makeup work .

DINGDINGDING ! YOU ARE CORRECT ! the region i was going for was indeed mondstadt ! aster (my oc) lives in mond and is originally from khaenriah , im glad i didnt draw in their face yet because their eyes wouldve totally given away the fact they were khaenriahn LOL

my week was honestly pretty busy (atleast to my tiny brains standards , i feel like you could also tell by how long it took me to send another ask 😭😭) i had two tests today (that i frickin ACED HAHA im so proud of myself) one of my friends and some guy i share a bunch of classes with also gave me pieces of their cotton candy and the guy told me good job for actually doing my work LMFAO (i usually fall asleep in that class … haha ,,) and one of my other friends complained about also wanting food so i called him friendless (even though i thought the guy who gave me a piece of cotton candy didnt like me so i dont think he counts as a friend ??) my friend also recently introduced me to a series they liked and now im practically obsessed because DELICIOUS . i also recently did heizous hangout quest and GODDAMN he - he is so . im so gay for this detective motherfucker i was practically screaming at my ipad … haha …… heizou is honestly so my type he has such a way with words and i DO NOT know why a lot of npcs / characters in game talk about him negatively how do people not like him - yeah but i also almost went on a full genshin lore tangent to my ipad because of my uncontrollable urge to explain things SMH . oh my god the part where heizou said that he wanted us to be his partner all the time and i just straight up actually screamed , yes heizou ill be your partner forever if yk what i mean - HAHAHAH i also made a collection of goofy genshin triangles on one of my friends old schoolwork in math class hehe

aaaanyways id like to return your question ! how have your recent days been ? and if you dont deem anything of note or dont want to share , if you could choose anyone in genshin to share a house / be roommates with who would you choose ? (since these are again two questions , if you want , fire back two as well !) also , dude i have a terrible habit of rambling like crazy , so i totally dont mind if you ramble and stuff in replies (because i do that wayy too much as well LOL)

— jellyfish

HELLOO TO YOU!!!! your dream sounds so funny LOL in the 2 years i've played genshin i've never had any genshin characters appear in my dreams,,, it's always boring ones that revolve around my life. but nevertheless your dream made me imagine how alhaitham would act around you 😭 and the way he tried to gaslight you LMAO he's so cute and goofy

haha i love how enthusiastic you are about fischl!!! we all have that one character that we have an undying love for to the point that everyone you know in life knows them (for me that'd be kazuha,, every time someone sees him it'd just remind them of me hehe)

THE RPS LMAO “i just find you rather annoying.” THAT'S SUCH AN ALHAITHAM THING TO SAY!!! also i'm pretty oblivious so this just made me realize that the denial is a river in egypt tiktok meme is also pointing out the fact that the nile. is a river. in egypt???? i just found out it's a wordplay thing???? denial (the nile)???? damn i really thought it's like a random word being thrown to make it seem exaggerated or something 😭😭😭 i'm really dumb LMAO how did i not figure that out sooner 🙁🙁🙁 the fact that i know the nile is a river in egypt is embarrassing too like it never occurred to me to piece the puzzles together...

man that sucks 😭😭 i remember when you messaged me on genshin talking about it LOL please humbly accept my offer of my c2 diluc to you,,, he's been in my hands far too long and i cannot fathom the fact that he keeps appearing in my 50/50's (tighnari pls come home i beg). i was on a 50/50 for haitham too and the very loud sigh of relief i let out when he finally came home is insane. i've basically farmed everything in the new area (i have 99% exploration progress now due to it) and have milked my welkin for him so i'm glad he actually came home... the things i'd do if diluc appeared in screen instead should be left unsaid 🤗

YAYY GLAD TO HEAR YOU'RE WELL NOW!!!

aster is such a badass name and the fact that they're originally from khaenriah???? awesome as hell. hope they're besties with kaeya because that would be totally legen... wait for it, dary!!!! (cue my love for barney in himym i just had to quote him)

also very glad to see that your week has been going okay!!! would love some cotton candy rn tbh they're so good </3

and heizou's hangout quest.... honestly same. i haven't exactly finished all of the endings but i've done some and it made me squeal and giggle every time he flirted with us 😭 made me feel like a total loser with his charming words bro i can't believe the npcs in game have such negative views on him because me personally if i was in the game, i'd immediately fold for him the second he breathes in front of me HAHA i'm . not weird at all.

my week has been slow actually, i finished my finals a while ago so we have nothing to do now so i've been doing absolutely nothing at school LOL! senior year is coming up soon so i might be more busy and focusing more on my studies... it's sure gonna be hell for me.

and recently i've been packing up my stuff because i'm moving out!! (hence why i haven't posted a new asphodelus chapter lol i've been so busy). it's been rather slow for me tho since i have a lot of stuff and it's kinda hard to choose the ones i'd have to throw or give away because like,, i love all of my stuff 😭 my mom has helped me with some but i still got a shit ton of stuff to declutter. basically everything is a mess rn

other than that, i think everything's been a-okay! i'm just reaally busy with irl stuff now but i think i can survive through them :D (i hope i do because i am one inch away from going insane). also my mom's been trying to convince me to drive lately since i'm supposed to start now but i have been avoiding it,,, it's scary being on the road and i am far from ready to risk my life 😔

as for your question, i think out of everyone, i'd choose kazuha. before you say anything, i'm trying to not be as biased as i can since like kazuha is my favourite character ever— but yeah, i think i can accept the terms of living with the kaedehara kazuha. he's such a nice guy and although he's a very very lightweight and behind all that charming looks he's a pretty scary guy himself (cue that scene where he threatened that treasure hoarder in the archon quest that he'd brand his forehead with hot iron) i think i could actually survive living with him. he'd do his set of chores, i'd do mine, everyone gets their happy ending. if i were to live with my other favs like kuni and alhaitham i think i would just die. kuni would be rude as fuck and alhaitham would just bully his way out from doing our shared chores. i cannot deal with them. (i'm sorry my sweethearts i'll do you two justice one day)

time to give a question to you!!! how's your progress in genshin going? (it can be exploration wise, storyline, anything) and what's your current main genshin team rn :0

hope you're having a great day!!! it was fun talking with you hehe i've been dying to get an ask since the blog has been real quiet lately, and i'm glad it's you! have a wonderful day ahead :P

#h answers #jellyfish <3 #sorry for the long ramble once again #i am in need of more interactions with people on this blog #pls someone talk to me
