is there a reason beyond resentment why vesper attacked amaryllis? i'm very curious about their relationship now

omg thank you for this!!!

Amaryllis and Vesper (along with their much younger twin siblings) grew up in a very hostile environment. Amie is their father’s love child, who was shunned and hidden away for the first decade of their life, but during that time the two of them were close. Vesper was the golden child and eldest daughter, and took pity on his half sibling. Then, practically overnight, everything flipped when their father realized Amie’s talents were much more profitable than his. First, he was able to bear it, but his emotions quickly started snowballing. All of a sudden he was the one who everyone ignored, and while it left him to have time for himself for the first time in his life, he eventually cracked without all the constant pressure.

There were many fights between the two, all increasing in intensity before the final one. On Vesper’s side, it was all heavily influenced by all sorts of abuse from his mother (a cruel woman who had always hated Amie) and his very fragile mental state.

Before the events in songbird vs rattlesnake, his mother had been feeding him rumors that their father was planning on skipping over him and his mother as heirs, to give the role to Amie instead. At his lowest point, she puts the idea of Amie’s death into his head. He definitely never truly wanted to hurt them, but everything happened far too quickly and was so out of his control.

After it’s found out that Amie is missing and was secretly a witch, Vesper, in a very fragile state and full of regret, also leaves the family not long after to pursue a new life in Zadith.

#really thank you so much for this #I could explain so much more about them #they are best friends worst enemies they will kill each other they will kill for each other #very complicated things there #they give me thor and loki vibes you know #amie lore #vesper lore

personally, assigning morality to fiction is a slippery slope. of course tyun has the moral high ground over gyu in yamqn, but oc also doesn’t have any frame of reference of love and morality in relationships is, so of course she’s not really capable of making a true choice between the two.

it would be out of character for her to take what’s best for her into account, because it’s not anything she was ever taught to do. people don’t come preloaded with the idea of what love should feel like when it’s done right, it’s a learned skill. and oc was only ever taught to be used, and to get the most she can out of those using her. gyu was the closest person to ever showing her that she is valued, as twisted as that value is, so i can see why she misses him and the feeling of being “loved.”

and as to gyu himself, what is his frame of reference for what love is? his parents are clearly not an ideal couple, and while he has siblings, that’s not really the same, is it? what does a prince who has never known relations outside of being used and manipulated himself (his mother and sister aside) understand about loving in a moral way?

and then we get to tyun, who lives with constant burden, telling himself that he has to remain strong in the face of every circumstance, who was only ever taught pain and abuse. he isn’t capable of loving freely, is he?

while as a reader, we can assign morality, we are stepping out of the immersion of the story. these characters can learn and grow, of course, but through whom? everyone is twisted in some way in this story, by circumstance or by the simple fact of it being a different time and a different world. that’s the beauty of having conflict in a work of fiction, seeing how each character reacts and how they grow (or regress!) from it.

anyways, tldr of all these run on sentences, these characters are not the reader, and you’re unfolding a story of pain and uncertainty in a beautiful way that is true to the world you’ve built. -🖤

Ugh thank you so much for this nuanced take. I couldn't ask for more as a writer honestly. You understand the characters and understand the context they operate in. Yeah a lot of us nowadays know what toxic relationships look like but for these characters they don't. Honestly even for us modern humans, I have had to explain to my male friend that the relationship he is in is toxic because he couldn't see it and me and my family had to intervene with one of my brother's relationships along with his friends just to point out to him that he is in a very abusive relationship and he should leave it despite the other person's manipulations. And that's in modern time, imagine what these characters are going through, they don't know shit about this. Toxic relationships are the norm.

For OC most of her contemporaries would think she's being too much either with gyu or with tyun. With gyu they'd say that she had the prince willing to give her anything she wanted so she should've taken it and with tyun they would’ve dismissed her need for love because he provides for her and protects her so what more could she want?

OC herself would see that she could either get love with Beomgyu or respect with taehyun and that it's impossible to have both. And gyu wouldn't think much of her bring his concubine because he's doing her a service, isn't he? He's giving her way more than she would've ever gotten with anyone else. Tyun too would think that he saved her from her captor and gave her the independence she wanted so why is she fishing for emotions right now?

Idk I'm a bit tipsy so maybe I don't make sense but your point about the context of their lives and the time period is so so important. Readers are judging them according to modern standards when these characters operate in a very different system. That's why gyu's father is so against oc because he doesn't understand why his son is fighting so hard for a low born noble. And why tyun is struggling so hard to be sweet with her because that was never expected of him (plus his other issues). And why oc feels like she has to choose between love and respect.

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

#unforth rambles #this wasn't really prompted by anything #I'm just sick and tired and distractable #or i should say it wasn't prompted by anything recent or that happened now #like no one has disrespected me #but as i hit the point that it's regularly taking me an hour plus every single day to queue things for the danmei art blogs #i just think of all the times people go WAIT YOU RUN ALL OF THOSE??? BY YOURSELF???#like i just don't think a lot of people realize how much work it is to really do background fandom labor long term #and i appreciate places like rec blogs and networks and events and just everyone #y'all are awesome #thank you so much

god I'm so fucking furious at the removal of Te Reo Māori names from organisations around Aotearoa. it's a complete non-issue, every organisation has the English name directly underneath the Māori name. I have never once as an English speaker been unable to understand what an organisation is for. Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister, who is literally Māori himself, said “Te Papa is a historic name but tell me this waka kotahi, how many boats have you seen going down the road?”. Waka does not just mean canoe. it means vessel, and waka kotahi (the transport agency of Aotearoa) explains this VERY SIMPLY on their official website. waka kotahi means to travel together as one. Can you see how fucking upsetting this is. A Māori person in power who is in agreement about banning his own language, being so cocky about something that he does not even understand due to the suppression of the language of his people. It makes me sick. I've seen reports from Māori people all over Aotearoa speaking out about how upset and furious they are, how decades of progress have been undone in the fight to restore the rights of their people who have for so long been oppressed and have suffered the effects of colonisation. Please share this if you can, I hate knowing how few people will hear about this, I know there is so much injustice in the world right now and it is so exhausting, I know. I love you all, keep it up.

#godd. I feel sick to my stomach #ask to tag #not tagging with relevant tags because I just know there are people out there who would tear me apart for this #just. share as much as you can. thank you #white prime minister after white prime minister after white prime minister #jacinda was fantastic and I appreciate her so much but godd #our government is so fucking full of pakeha officials and it really really shows #indigenous rights #colonialism #settler colonialism

[This comic is part of my dbhc au, following the chaos and panic that ensues after Doc and Xisuma try to get Etho back online at the start of s9 after a very rough s8 finale that leaves him a little. broken. It's set to the vibes of Joywave's Destruction!]

Imagine if Rafe let R try a joint

Like, her brains getting all fuzzy and she's even more giggly than usual, and he's just, like enamoured. He thinks she's adorable.

"one hit, that's it-" rafe says, low and quiet in your ear.

you're curled up on his lap at the party, both of you resting on the couch while you observe the scene around you with big eyes. rafe's friends were snorting powder off of mirrors, washing it down with liquor that was definitely harder than the fruity seltzer your boyfriend allowed you to drink. rafe said you couldn't handle anything harder, and you agreed without questioning him, like you always did.

you had pointed to the white lines on the table infront of you and asked him as sweetly as you could if you could try some. kelce overheard you and starts pushing the mirror in your direction, and you look at him with a smile, before rafe stares him down and delivers a tap to your cheek. it's just to get your attention, not really to hurt you, but you feel your face flushing where he touched you when he speaks.

"hey, you don't listen to him, you listen to me, right?" you see kelce in the corner of your eye, taking the tray back and offering it to the girl next to him.

"i know, i just-"

"no, no just anything. y'can barely drink this watered-down crap without trippin' over your feet." he rests back on the sofa, hands gripping your waist and leg tightly. "wants to snort coke. you're funny, kid."

you pout, taking another sip of your drink. you're only half way through the can but your head is starting to feel fuzzy, already. you decide then and there that rafe always knows best for you, but you still want to try the things he tries, show him that you can handle it. the boys next to rafe pass a blunt over you, directly to him. when they blow out the smoke, you start coughing, but watch carefully as your boyfriend takes a long hit. just as he's about to pass it across to kelce, you catch his wrist.

"can i try that instead? please?" you try your best to straighten up, to show him you can take it and that you're not already drunk. "please," you whine, and his friends turn their head to look. you're sure that they think it's silly, the way you have to ask rafe for permission for everything and anything. you don't care, though.

"kid, stop-"

"i can take it, promise. just this time. i won't ever ask again."

that's how you had ended up like this, rafe talking into your ear while he holds the blunt to your lips.

"alright, suck in. long as you can. you're a pro at that, aren't ya?" his words make you lose your concentration, breaking into a coughing fit before you can even try to inhale.

"rafe!" you whine again, pummeling your fists into his chest, still choking on the smoke. your throat feels scratchy but you know that couldn't have been enough.

"what, kid, i gotta do everything for you?" he takes a long hit, and then grips your cheeks with his hand, forcing your mouth open and then blowing the smoke into your throat for you. then he clamps it shut, holds your shoulder while you cough, and passes the blunt along to kelce.

you cough a little, but before long, you're putty in his arms, leaning your head against his shoulder and giggling at nothing. you poke at his chest and then start playing with his chain, then his hair, and then back down to his fingers. he lets you do it, watching you play with his ring and pressing a kiss to your forehead. you're cute like this, he thinks, less shy and not as worried what everyone must think about you. he thinks he likes it, that maybe he should let you smoke with him every once in a while.

"feel good, baby?" he asks in your ear, and you squirm in his touch, pulling away before resting your head again.

"mhm. really good. this is fun. wish it wasn't a crime." he laughs, taking another sip of his beer. you try to copy him, reaching for your seltzer but knocking it over by accident.

"oops," you say with another laugh. "sorry to-wait, whose house is this?"

"c'mon kid, makin' a mess," he groans, picking up the can and watching the fizzy liquid travel.

"sorry, daddy." in your state, you don't realize how loud you said it, but even with everyone's eyes on you, you don't care much, smiling back sweetly at rafe.

"alright, we're leavin'."

#thank you so much for requesting!!!!! i really hope you like it??????#thank you thank you thank you #sorry i went a lil off path #📮 asks #rafe cameron x reader #rafe cameron
