You never really learned to let go.
Did you?
Hello, little godling, are you here to seek out an exchange? What is the phrase those mortals say? "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth"? Are you here to exchange death for death? How counterproductive, no? Though it seems that you refuse to listen to any sort of reason nowadays.
A pity, really.
I expected better from you. However I can't blame you and the emotional storm you brought yourself into. Afterall, having the man you called "Grandfather" turn on you and slaughter your family one day is an understandable thing to fuss over. Personally, I could care any less if my brother died. Your aunt and I would be just fine, frankly. Everything would be better off with one less Primordial, but really, does that matter now with the problems he helped cause?
Regardless, I'm getting ahead of myself.
Here you are, a child of barren nature and moving time, with the dagger of your wilted sister Spring, the sickle of your arid brother Summer, and the laurel of your decayed brother Autumn.
Now, tell me this, little godling.
How much blood must be shed until you think it's enough to satisfy your sense of naive justice? Until every enemy you'll make and have have their blood spilt and pooling by your feet? Until they are on their hands and knees, begging for mercy, for you to spare them, just so you can be the judge of their fate?
Whatever your choice is, I'll simply be here watching you struggle and fall, and drop what remains of chaos you choose to leave in your wake.

◈ Despoina (Goddess of Magic, The Arcana, Mysteries) She/Her)
The former lover of the god of life. Your grandmother is a powerful goddess of magic, and the giver of it to her mortal disciples known as "Magi". She's been cast out of the Pantheon due to being blamed for her inability to stop your grandfather. Currently, she's been deem "mad" for her constant dreamy attitude despite the horrible circumstances occurring around her.
~•~•~
◈ Nyx (Goddess of the Moon, Peace, Strategy) She/Her)
Daughter of the primordial cosmic goddess Emmera and the [late] god of fate Karma. She is your cousin and a fellow traveller in your journey. For being the goddess of peace, she isn't a very tranquil person, often resorting to violence at every inconvenience. She holds a calm aura whenever she's around, a bit aloof and insensitive at times, though has a soft spot for loved ones.
~•~•~
◈ Sansone (God of the Sun, Wrath, War) He/Him)
Son of the primordial cosmic goddess Emmera and the [late] god of fate Karma. Nyx's older brother and your cousin as well. He's here for the same reason as you and his sister, though mostly just to keep an eye on you both. He has this underlying storm underneath his relaxed façade, but you know better than to provoke it. Often takes the more pacifist route in situations, an opposite to his sister.
~•~•~
◈ Ectorius (Deity of Art, Fae, The Forest) He/They) ♡
You never expected them to join you on this journey. A close confidante and dear friend of your sister, Ectorius is an eccentric and somewhat odd individual. Always blabbering on, and on about making his next greatest magnum opus whenever he can. Though despite how dramatic he is, they are extremely cunning, but he likes to call it "persuasive".
~•~•~
◈ Nakia (The Former Priestess) She/Her) ♡
Having lost her village to the same god she worshipped, her faith in the gods has diminished. Seeking justice for her people, she joins you in your journey, unaware of your origins. An astute and patient woman who is willing to risk all for what she thinks is right. You worry for her and her inability to pick up and swing a sword, preferring to use the way of words to handle conflict.
~•~•~
◈ Faisal (The Archangel of Justice) He/Him) ♡
A member of High Court, which is Malkiel's Fifteen Generals in Zion. He is sent down to assist you in your mission to avenge your family. You know him from your time growing up in Zion, one of your first and only friends after the tragedy. He's willing to lay down his life to protect you from anything, even if you won't do the same.
~•~•~
◈ Lilith of Locked Heart (The Sin of Pride) She/They) ♡
A demoness from Hell, and the personification of Pride. She is a Queen of a kingdom in Gehenna, and accidentally stumbled upon them when she was crawling out of a cave, bloodied, bruised, and broken limbed. Now she joins you in your journey to, in their words, "beat the bastard that ruined them", though you have doubts that it's simply just that.
~•~•~
◈ Abel (God of Life, Joy, Birth) He/Him)
Your grandfather. The catalyst of this madness.
Tumblr media
◈ Horatio (God of Time, Wisdom, Change) He/Him)
Father Time himself, and well, your actual father. A scarred and grieving man that refuses to partake in your journey. He does not wish to seek the justice for your family, but instead chooses a more passive way instead.
~•~•~
◈ Emmera (Goddess of The Cosmos, The Unknown, Fear) She/Her)
Your aunt and one of the three Primordials. Grieving over the death of her husband, she has formed an everlasting rage towards your grandfather and grandmother. She has gone spiteful over the years, with a scowl and glare on her face.
~•~•~
◈ Samar (God of Stars, Childhood, Shepherding) He/Him)
Sansone and Nyx's younger brother. Traumatized and confined in the body of a child, he has gone fearful of many things. Samar is often found in the arms of your aunt, clutching a wooden sheep figurine in his hand that he refuses to let go.
~•~•~
◈ Malkiel (God of Aether, Order, Angels) He/Him)
One of the three Primordials and one of two of the oldest gods. He's the man who housed you and your remaining family in his realm. Your father and aunt often warn you to stay away from him whenever you can.
~•~•~
◈ Radian (God of Void, Bonds, Justice) He/Him)
Your uncle. You don't know much about him, since you rarely ever see him during family gatherings. A mysterious and stoic man, with a heavy weight on his shoulders and of few words.
~•~•~
◈ Blair (Goddess of Death, Grief, Funerals) She/Her)
You're not expecting to nor know that you have a grandaunt, and she's not the kind of woman you expect her to be.

A re-upload of one of my drawings! I call it Red Right Hand! The story behind it being that a man who found himself underwater, chained to a cinderblock, struggles to not drown. Then, on the verge of death itself, his inner devil awakens, the physical manifestation of his will to live, bursting through the skin of what is now his old body. He's back, he's alive, he's much more powerful than he once way, and you can bet he's gunna be mad as heck!

The Reckoning
Steve Rogers/Tony Stark’s Daughter OC
A Dark AU Fic
Prologue
Author’s Note
This is your warning that this story will be mature. There isn’t much to warn about in the prologue but if you’re under 18 or a minor DNI! The italics sections that are separated are lyrics from the song that I have posted at the top that’s also the song on the playlist for this chapter. I hope you enjoy! - Leia
Sometimes I tremble
Like a little child
That faces morning
With a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble
When the shades unfurl
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world
Steve Rogers sat up in bed and looked over at the sleeping form of the beautiful woman laying next to him. She was the most exquisite creature he'd ever laid eyes on and she was all his now. It hadn't been easy for them to even reach where they were now. He smiled as examined the way her long, dark hair cascaded down her bare back and how the duvet clung to her nude curves, particularly that around the swell of her belly where their child grew only made her even more beautiful. It was true that when this all began, he never expected to grow any feelings as deep as love, yet they came anyway. He refused to regret it, as he knew she reciprocated those feelings well before they spoke vows that bound them as husband and wife. He slid out of the bed and reached for his robe, pulling it on and securing the tie before walking over to where he kept a decanter of whiskey and a couple of rocks glasses for nightcaps and restless nights like this one. He poured himself a dram and stood over by the window to admire the moonlight.
When a new day reaches dawn
I feel it's worth the wait
But I tumble and I fall
When up against my fate
He thought back on how he ended up with his wife, and he knew she could never know the full truth. He knew his fears of losing her surely would come true if she knew everything. It wouldn't matter about the love they shared anymore, not when everything began as a revenge plot against her father. Steve doubted Alexandra would be so forgiving of him, even with her own issues with the man. The truth was that Steve Rogers and Tony Stark had always been in some form of competition with each other since they were kids. Their families were once allies that turned rivals that he and Tony tried to be friendly and resolve, which lasted a very short amount of time due to their constant need to compete with each other. Tony Stark had a decade on him in age and still couldn't act it. Their rivalry didn't turn ugly until Tony stole Steve's girlfriend that he had been about to propose to for no reason other than to prove he could. Steve then vowed the ultimate revenge against Tony for this because he'd had enough of Stark taking what he wanted because he could. He made a promised to himself right then and planned on using Tony's daughter, Alexandra, once she was of age to get it. The thing Steve never calculated for in everything was him actually falling for her as much as she did him, loving her just as deeply as she did him. It still happened and he wouldn't change falling in love with Alexandra no matter what it changed.
When the barricades come down
I build them up again
When I'm just about to drown
I still don't know the end
Steve knew that right now his plans and vows for revenge were nowhere near complete. He planned on ensuring everything came to be as he intended before it was all over. Tony Stark wasn't done in receiving the payback he was owed for his sins, and Steve was not the only one helping see to it that it happens. It made him think back to the day be made his biggest ally in his war against Tony Stark.
When the morning comes alive
Release your love brigade
At the end of day it's night
To suck it up with hate
Tumblr media
Author's Note
I know this first part is VERY short but it felt right to be that way. I hope you're excited for more because the first chapter will be coming very soon and diving right in! - Leia

Title : When I stopped being your shadow
Just finished reading the novel for ‘When i stopped being your shadow.’ I gotta say, even if the translation I read was a little choppy in certain places, I absolutely loved the novel!
Rating: 9/10
Synopsis: He was the hand of God, the painter of the century. My husband became the best artist in the empire. And I was his shadow. Even when my work went viral under my husband’s name, even when people spoke ill of me behind my back. It was still good. Because I loved my husband. But on our wedding anniversary. “You are the only person I truly love.” I witnessed my husband whispering his love to my best friend. At the very moment when my husband saw me discovering his infidelity, his face contorted viciously and pushed me away. “Where are you raising your voice to your husband?!” I realized. I realized that that man had never loved me. So I decided to become the evil wife they spoke of. * “I have a special story for you.” Ines suggested in a strained voice. A man as beautiful as God turned his eyes gently to her. “It’s a special story, our newspaper won’t print the case if it’s not good enough……..” “It’s the fall of the painter known as the Hand of God…” Ines continued in a tense voice. “Isn’t this good enough a scandal to be published in Elton, the greatest daily newspaper in the empire?” “Then what does Countess Brighton gain from the scandal?” “My life.”

The only revenge I ever got:
Me: I think I’m autistic.
Coworker: No you’re not. Trust me, my brother is autistic so I know what it looks like.
*after the coworker has left and come back a year later*
Me: Hey do you remember that conversation we had last year about me not being autistic?
Coworker: Yeah?
Me: I got diagnosed. I am autistic. You were wrong.

In this story “Nick” and “Deanna” are pure characters, who are there for you and act, if you need them and believe in them, according to people's deeds, good or bad. Not unlike Santa Claus. ;-) Feel free to reblog for your next Christmas greetings, but remember: any season’s good for carrying out the work of the Lord. Which here is a fraction of the terrible wrath part, Old Testament way.

I loved this.  It was gorgeous and sweeping; amazing writing by Hugo Blick, with a great cast and brilliant acting.  Must give a nod to Rafe Spall, who you may or may not recognize from his turn as William ‘Maniac’ Hunt in Desperate Romantics.  He was incredible in this as the big baddie.  DR is my only other reference for Spall; obviously, I don’t watch a ton of TV, and when I do get around to watching, it is usually years after a show has been and gone.  A great revenge picture, it reminded me a lot of Django Unchained.  Also must mention the title card art and music--the opening is a treat in itself.  If you get a chance, watch it.  At 6 episodes, it can be knocked out in a weekend or a very long afternoon.  Anyone know if Blick wrote this as an original screenplay or adapted it?  I can’t seem to find anything definitive.

THERE WILL BE MONSTERS
There will also be blood (but no Daniel Day Lewis). These monsters had it coming, so nobody feels bad for them. While the setup is predictable and the story isn't anything to feed a bigger project, THERE WILL BE MONSTERS has good acting and is well shot, making it a fun horror short.
