#she was just born in a generation that didn’t teach her not to think those things about herself

[sallyswife3435]

You know what hurts?

When you were little, your mom used to say really awful things about her body to herself and really degrading things to herself in front of you. This would happen often, and through most of your developing years.

Now that you’re older, and you’ve gone through puberty and are mostly fully developed, you can tell that your genes came from your mom and you have very similar bodies. You’re young and really skinny though, so they don’t look all that similar, except their shape in essence, and such and such. She’s never said a single negative thing about your body; It’s probably what she considers to be the best version of her own body anyway.

And then, one struggling year, you gain a significant amount of weight. And slowly, you start to see more and more resemblances between your body and your mom’s; except that she lost a lot of weight that same year, so now, the resemblances you draw aren’t between your body and the body of what you consider to be your beautiful mother, but between your body and memory of the body that your mother used to insult and degrade, and that she put all her energy and might into running away from.

And deep down (and maybe not even that deep down) you know, even though she’s never mentioned it, you’re not the only person who doesn’t like your body.

#this is inspired by a real story btw #mine #lol #it actually is my roman empire #it’s the top third reason why i feel a need to lose 20 pounds every waking breathing moment of every day #i hope im not the only one but also i really really hope i am #i love my mom though #shes the best #she was just born in a generation that didn’t teach her not to think those things about herself #ana rant #kind of #i dont have ana tho #im just a girl in a westernised world

Are you on that Starboy crap?

I’m going to assume that you don’t like Starboy. If you do actually like him, then I don’t detect it anywhere here. It’s things like these that make me backoff from sharing stuff about Starboy, because in truth I like the idea of it. But ultimately, I can’t please everyone so whatever.

Firstly, I’d like to address in defense of those who love Starboy and as said from Star’s section in the concept book, the first phase was a series of Star in various human forms. Star’s young Sabino form is the THIRD phase. So don’t try to use the excuse of ‘Starboy being Sabino’. Read, please. Respectfully.

Anyways, if you haven’t already figured it out, I like to look at different routes. I can’t stick to just one, so I make multiple routes with multiple scenarios and storylines and characterizations. So I guess this is a good time to address both my opinion on Starboy and my ideas for Star in general.

I think Starboy would’ve been an adorable addition. He’s great, the ship between him and Asha is great, and every redesign I’ve seen of him just makes me love him more. I’m aesthetically drawn to characters at this point, which is a reason I like designing. The only thing that I question about Starboy is his own story. I don’t typically like the idea of him being *the* wishing star, but rather an extension or ‘child’ of the Blue Fairy. Him being childish and curious would be supported by that idea, because you can’t really rely on a higher power if that higher power is reliant on you teaching him about Earth.

So I like the idea of Starboy, but not the story of him being the sole wishing star. He can be childish and curious under the circumstances that the Blue Fairy is highest power/wishing star. I mentioned this in my illustration of the Blue Fairy, so.

Anyways, ideas for Star!

Because I see a lot of people already have the idea of Asha x Starboy in their works (love them all 💖), I decided to think of more paths we could’ve taken with Star in general. You can refer back to the Art of Wish book for all of his forms, but I’ll go into ones that I’m renovating into my own ideas.

• Starchild: I have two ideas for this. A: What if Star was a child? When we were younger, we wished for many things and dreamed of many dreams. Maybe Star could’ve been a child, because of my idea with Star being a ‘child’ of the Blue Fairy, Asha calling down Star right then and there could’ve been the start of his new life. It’s like him being born when he’s sent down to Earth. And it’s a reference to how wishes and wonder can seem childish, but good-intentioned. His magic is almost chaotic-like, so it could add on. Then B: What if Star was a younger version of ASHA? Don’t really know how this would work, but really Star would’ve been a manifestation of Asha’s younger self (typically when she wished for her father to get better). It’s like connecting with your inner child and rekindling your dreams. That’s just a small idea.

• Platonic Star: Could be of any gender, I don’t really care. But what if Star was just platonically involved with Asha? I know Wish was never going to be a romance story, so they could’ve just of had Star be humanoid but have them still be friends. I’m sure someone already has this idea for a rewrite somewhere.

• Sole Star: An idea where Star *is* the wishing star but is mature and an adult and with no specific gender. Maybe a little feminine to act as Asha’s maternal figure? If I wouldn’t go with this idea, then I’d have had the Blue Fairy be Asha’s maternal figure. Sorry, Sakina (I should make a rant post about Sakina and Sabino 💀🙏🏽 I kinda got beef with them).

I’m okay with Star being the thing we got officially, but come on. They could’ve added more to the character. Like depth? Clarification about what exactly it is? A star sure, but what else? The one star song didn’t answer any of Asha’s questions nor ours. Was it just born when Asha wished upon it because she’s the first one to do so? Sighing. Disney.

Favorite Star concepts:

Least favorite…:

What a jumpscare.

Despite the possible dislike of Starboy, thank you for the ask. 💖

Happy Birthday Gojo! 🥳

I wrote this for Gojo’s Birthday (Dec 7th) in one sitting. I have not proofread so I apologize for the errors. I am writing during breaks on my phone so it is what it is.

Gojo x reader, reader is she/her, mostly fluff, some angst and pining.

He didn’t know when she’d become so important to him. He’s been so careful. Since Suguru…since his whole life really, he’d kept everyone at arms length, for their safety and his.

But now he’s watching her walk in the hall with Shoko, all soft smiles and genuine interest in what the good doctor is saying to her. She moves like the motions are part of her conversation, her body always slightly tilted toward the person she’s speaking to, showing you have her full attention. She laughs at a joke Shoko makes and his heart flutters.

When did it start doing that again? When did she start this reaction in him.

His musing distracts him and before he knows it she has caught sight of him. He should be heading to the classroom he’s teaching in today, she’s got classes to teach today too, but she smiles so widely when she sees him and her eyes light up so brightly he can’t be bothered with anything else but her.

“Gojo!” She shouts happily as she makes her way over to him, her messenger bag slung over her shoulder bouncing in time with her quickening pace.

He only has a few moments to stare at her, to take her form in as she makes her way to him. She’s breath taking, she’s warm and she’s….safe…a feeling he had never allowed himself.

When her feet hit the imaginary mark he’s made on the floor, the one he decides that means someone is getting too close and the shields need to go up, he puts on his usual disguise.

“Good afternoon, sunshine” he teases but he means it. She is his sunshine.

She giggles at the nickname and his knees feel weak.

“Good afternoon” she responds “I have a gift for you”

He is genuinely surprised and it causes him to put the walls up a little more. Gifts always came with stipulations. As a child he got gifts from those who wanted to use him and as an adult it was from those who wanted to control him.

But when she digs in her messenger bag, pulling out a small package, wrapped in brown paper with a twine bow and holds it out to him, he can’t seem to be afraid.

“I’m sure it’s silly to get a gift for a man who could buy anything he wants but I couldn’t let your Birthday go by without something, ya know?”

She knew. She knew it was his birthday.

He’s long since stopped celebrating his birthday. He hardly marks the occasion except for a little self pitying birthday breakfast he has made. Otherwise it’s generally a normal day.

He takes the package from her, his long fingers end up grazing hers and it’s the most excited he’s been to touch another person in so long.

The contact has affected her as well. The makings of a blush appear on her cheeks and as she tucks her hair behind her ears, he sees some red developing there as well.

When he finally has it in hand she looks up at him and smiles, always smiling, and their eyes lock for a moment. They’re interrupted however by Shoko calling out for her.

“Better get going” she says softly “Happy Birthday, Gojo, I’m very glad you were born”

Then with a wave she turns and joins Shoko once more, he watches her form retreat and everything in him longs to chase after her. To take her in his arms and kiss her. To do more than just kiss her. To tell her that he was born on this day so many years ago so he could be here and meet her, that he was born for her.

But he simply watches her head down the hall and out of sight.

When she is finally gone he looks to the gift. Unwrapping it carefully he is greeted with a picture frame. In the frame is a Polaroid of the two of them. In the photo you could tell neither knew they were being photographed and were simply walking down the hall together.

It’s then he sees the dopey grin on his face, his posture, his eyes. Anyone else wouldn’t know, would think it was simply a friendly chat but he..he knew himself and it was clear.

He was in love.

Winx Club: Season 1 Rewrite (Snippet)

So as I've said before, I'm working on a rewrite of the Winx Club series and as I'm writing, I thought it'd be fun to share an extract of chapter 1:

“I can’t believe we’re letting him go back to that school.”

Standing beside her, on the threshold of Eraklyon’s royal palace, King Erendor sighed as his wife repeated the same accusation she had been firing at him for weeks. “He has many enemies, Samara, and will grow up to have even more. Sending him to Red Fountain is the best thing we can do to prepare him.”

Samara didn’t bother addressing her husband, her eyes fixed on the ship that was currently being prepared for takeoff in the direction of Magix’s capital city. Palace servants were loading suitcases and bags into the cargo compartment of the ship, while the pilot and guards were discussing the route most likely to let them go undetected. “His enemies are exactly the reason we should keep him here,” She said. “Sky is the future King of Eraklyon, he should be learning how to rule a kingdom, not how to swing a sword or shoot an arrow.” 

“You think our army will take commands from a king who hasn’t known a day of battle?” As the Magic Dimension’s Realm of the Warrior, Eraklyon was well known for its strong military force. Other planets and kingdoms would trade their own products and services for Eraklyan knights to fight their battles. So for Sky to command such a strong and proud army and its generals, it was vital he earned their respect as a swordsman first. “Those men aren’t the type to listen to spoiled brats.” 

“Then have master Lowine teach him.” 

“He has been,” Erendor said. “But having one swordmaster train you is not nearly the same as getting Red Fountain’s level of military education. Besides, royals and lords all over the magic dimension are sending their sons to Red Fountain, not to mention the high-born girls at Alfea. Sky should get to know them; form alliances and gather information for when he needs it.”

“And just how is he supposed to do that when everybody takes him for that Allard boy?” Samara rebutted, her attention now having shifted to the brunette standing beside her son. “Those other kids don’t even know who ‘Sky’ really is.”

“That’s a temporary safety measurement. Once Yoshinoiya’s threats settle down we will rectify that situation.” Erenor said, his eyes too having been redirected to the young squire. “Besides, it’s not a bad thing for Sky to be friends with someone from the Southern Isles.”

“I don’t trust that boy. He’s corrupting Sky’s brain with that southern liberalism. You know his father, he’s-”

“The south’s strongest military leader, one we should keep on our side.” Erendor interjected. “And if we do that by sending Brandon to Red Fountain with Sky, then he is letting us off easy,” he said. “Christian is many things, but he’s not a traitor.”

“Well let’s hope the same thing can be said about his children then. His oldest just recently got betrothed to Lord Khai’s daughter. Quite the match I’ve heard.” Samara said, clearly unimpressed by the marriage between the two southern families. “Speaking of engagements, I was just informed that Lady Disapro will be joining us for dinner tonight?” 

Erendor wasn’t unaware of the sneer laced with the queen’s polished vocabulary. “Sky is leaving a day sooner than planned, but that doesn’t mean we should deny Diaspro a meal with her future in-laws.” He said. “Her parents will not be joining us, however, but the girl is very well informed of House Grandare’s politics.” 

“Oh I have no doubts about the girl’s devotion to her father’s lordship. I simply wonder whether we have found the best suitor Sky could be taking to marriage.” Samara said, revisiting the topic of her son’s potential fiancée once more. “Doesn’t Princess Stella of Solaria go to Alfea? I thought Sky was quite fond of her?” 

“He is, but she’s Solaria’s crowned princess, their only one at that, she’d never leave Solaria for another kingdom.” Erendor shook his head. “Besides, Radius denies anybody’s request for his daughter's hand. His pending divorce from Luna has him all sentimental about the princess’s future marriage, which he will not be arranging under any circumstances.”

Samara scoffed. “I’ve always told him that he’s way too lenient with that girl.” she said, making a mental note to have her staff reach out to the King of Solaria. “I will be attending dinner tonight, but not before reevaluating our options. I do think that an international coupling is within our best interest.” 

“Whatever you wish, darling.” The sarcasm was nearly dripping off his words. “But we will want to think about the consequences of cutting off this agreement at this stage, Lord Grandare won’t take kindly to a disruption of his plans to get his daughter married to Sky.”

“His plans to get his daughter on the throne, you mean.” Samara rolled her eyes. Lord Grandare was a good ally of the royal family, but the queen wasn’t unaware of his motives to get his daughter married off to the prince as soon as possible. Diaspro was a nice girl, pretty too, so Sky shouldn’t have too much to complain about, but Samara wasn’t too keen on the idea of the Grandares taking over the palace at her expense. “I will see what we can do about him, should this marriage be the best option available.” 

Erendor stayed silent for a moment, watching his son get ready to board and giving him a silent nod when the prince looked up at him expectantly. In the corner of his eye, he could see his wife offering her son a static wave. “Seems like they’ll be taking off soon.” He said, readjusting his cape and making his way down the steps of the palace. 

“I’ll arrange travel plans to Solaria and Lynphea for the next week. I don’t think a suitor for princess Krystal has been named yet.” Turning on one heel, Samara signalled for her handmaiden to fetch her phone. “I will have Gaston prepare duck for tonight’s dinner, don’t you think? Diaspro’s from the North, so I think she could appreciate-” 

“Samara.” 

Inhaling sharply at the interruption, Samara slowly turned her head to look at her husband. “Yes?” 

Erendor sighed as he let his eyes slide back and forth between his wife and his son. “They’re about to leave for an entire school year.” He tried to hint. However, Samara merely raised an eyebrow at him, silently asking him for further elaboration. “Don’t you think we should say goodbye?

A moment of silence fell between the two of them as Samara followed his gaze. “I have more pressing matters to attend to than sentiment,” She then stated, her eyes momentarily locking with those of her son, before stoically averting them. “Like preparing to tell Diaspro she won’t be seeing her fiancé for a year.”

That's it! Please let me know what you think!

What do you think about girl dad Bobby because it makes my heart melt 🥺

Omg girl dad Bobby has my ENTIRE heart!!! I mean dad Bobby in general has my entire heart, but GIRL DAD BOBBY!!!

He’s been preparing to be a girl dad literally from the second that his 15-years-his-junior sister who is totally canon and I absolutely did not make up was born. He took one look at that squawling red-faced little baby and decided that she was is. His parents already got to raise him and his older brother… this one was HIS!!

He insisted on teaching her all the most important things that his parents taught him. He’s the one who taught her to cook, and by the time she was 4 she was good enough to make (slightly singed) cookies all by herself! And Bobby had never been more proud. He also was the one who taught her to ride a bike, and who kissed her scraped knees better when she fell. Mama Nash and Dad Nash insisted that he at least sometimes be a normal teenager, but Bobby was just too enamored with his tiny sister to want to be a normal teen. More than once, Mama Nash or Dad Nash would walk to the nursery in the middle of the night to soothe the crying baby only to find Bobby had beaten them to it, gently rocking his sister to sleep while singing under his breath.

When little Brook was born, his sister gave him the warmest, gentlest hug and told him that she knew he was gonna be the greatest girl dad in the world, because she gave him all the practice he needed. So really, he should be thanking her.

And before his injury and the subsequent dependency on pain killers and alcohol, Bobby’s greatest joy was in spending time with his kids. He dusted off the skills he learned as a teenager, and no little girl had prettier braids than Brook did (when her hair was long enough). When she got a little bit older she started to be a bit of a tomboy, so Bobby (a little sadly) put away the ribbons and bows and instead bought her a whittling knife. Marcy was concerned about giving a 6-and-a-half-year-old a knife, but Bobby and Bobby Jr were busy arguing over who was gonna get to teach Brook. “You already taught me, dad! It’s my turn!”

(As a side note, if Bobby Jr had survived, he would have also had the biggest dad energy).

At Brook’s funeral, Bobby pulled the tiny little bow that he always carried around in his pocket (even during the worst of his addiction)… the very first bow he had ever put into her hair… and tucked it carefully into her hands. He didn’t deserve even that little reminder of the joyous times he had spent with her. He had lost his wife… lost his son… lost his daughter… and it was all his fault. He didn’t deserve joy anymore.

His entire family tried to help him, and his sister… the one who made him decide from the time he was a teenager that he would someday have kids of his own… was the closest to being able to get through to him. But he was too caught up in his guilt and his grief. He didn’t deserve the unwavering love and forgiveness she offered him. She was the last one to get a text from him, a fleeting “I’m sorry” before the Nash family lost track of him and eventually had to assume that he had drunk himself into an early, and unmarked, grave.

He truly believed his time of being a dad should have ended there, but then he met Athena and her beautiful family. And he would never presume to claim May and Harry as his kids… not out loud. But they were his. May was his daughter just as much as if he had been there from the start, braiding ribbons into her hair like he had done for Brook. But he would never never presume.

“I have two dads, and you’re one of them”.

And with those words, another part of Bobby’s heart… a part he didn’t even realize was still aching… healed just a little bit more. Because May saw herself as his daughter just as much as he did. Because that was the first time anybody had called him dad since that horrible night where he lost his family.

And maybe… maybe after his much needed vacation cruise with Athena… maybe he’ll reach back out to his sister again. Maybe he’ll say to her “Sis, I want you to meet my daughter, May.” And maybe his sister will smile, eyes shining with unshed tears, hugging him tighter than she ever has before. “I knew you could find yourself again, Bobby”

Because being a girl dad? That’s as much a part of who Bobby Nash is as being a firefighter.

#listen I invented a whole entire sister for him just because of how much I love girl dad Bobby #I decided he had to have been practicing the dad energy for as long as humanly possible #also obviously Bobby Jr and Harry are equally as important… but we’re talking specifically girl dad 🥹 #ask me a question #Bobby's sister #bobby nash

I feel like it takes a while for the general populous to warm up to Zuko as Firelord and that’s mainly because of the last 100 years + his fathers reign didn’t really do anything to help the situation but he later becomes the people’s firelord and that’s with the help of his wife he drags him to charity events and with the backing of team avatar.

Now, Zuko was raised around politics but there’s a period about 5-10 years within his rule where he staunchly disagrees with his advisors mainly because they’re still brainwashed and under the spell that Ozai started with “restoring the fire nation to its former glory.” He later ends up just starting over and picking a new cabinet making sure to have at least one representative from each nation to chime in for rebuilding efforts.

Let me tell you though Zuko hates celebrations for himself and his achievements but when it’s his wife’s birthday and don’t get me started on their children. It’s like a national holiday the parties for them are magnificent.

As far as how powerful he is? Behind every great man is a far greater woman. A lot of his plans he runs by his wife before taking it to the advisors because she just knows that they’ll peddle him bullshit and depending on the day Zuko will agree so he can leave but she’s here to shut that shit down.

Now I know we joke that Izumi, the twins, and baby boy are spoiled. But I’d like to think that Zuko does take the time to bring them up as humble as possible and that’s thanks to Iroh having a big part of raising him and when they were settled in the earth kingdom for a bit. -🧚🏽‍♀️

HEAVY ON THE STARTING NEW PART . he got fed tf up with those old dudes who cared not about the country, but power and Zuko was like “fuck this shit, these mfs are UNFIXABLE.” (😂) he fired everyone after the first years of his reign because they actually began to like piss him off . Except two, which are my OCs Midjair and Indy, who were both apart of Ozai’s secretary and Zuko ranked them both up to major advisors . At first they were so traumatized from Ozai’s serving time and had some of his ideologies engraved in their head . but eventually they both showed that they were fixable and so Zuko kept them .

He’s so hellbent on making sure everyone has a say in how things run between countries and within the Fire Nation itself . I feel like he would also renovate a good portion of the castle just to make it look less depressing and intimidating .

He absolutely despises his own birthdays, like everyone including his wife will like beg him to allow them to throw a party or something for him . she’s trying to loosen him up some because he’s such a hard ass it’s basically impossible to gesture him into having some type of fun . BUT FOR THEM, oh the whole nation is going to hear about it, you should’ve seen Izumi’s sweet 16, they had to plan it a year in advance because she’s so extra like her mom . Their birthdays or him and his wife’s anniversary will be like week long events the whole country is celebrating, including endless amounts of gifts and cards, etc .

And of course Zuko would have to run down over major decisions he makes with the advisors, because as politics is mainly still a male predominant occupation, he needs an intelligent women’s opinion to make sure all side sound fair and just . And if those men ever try to convince her that her opinion is wrong in any type of way , oh she WILL shut they ass down before they can utter another word . Zuko knows it’s best if you never try his wife like that . LMAO

The kids are definitely spoiled like they just so happened to born in the right family because they get almost any and everything they can ask for . But zuko will always be quick to teach them that life is beyond anything more than material possessions and wants and needs, he will take them on visits to hang out with iroh just so they can get a slice of his wisdom . Because it’s important that they learn all factors of life before they have to guide themselves on their own journey . (🥹)

At the end of the day, Zuko will always be regarded as one of the best looking Firelord history has seen for a while . And even in times of doubt his family will always be quick to reassure him that he’s doing great and they all love him .

little headcanon brainstorming

Question, do y’all think Joyce’s parents are from Latin America/Spain/Portugal or are they from the US too and it’s her grandparents that are from Latin America/Spain/Portugal? And do y’all think both (grand) parents are from there or just one? The (grand)dad in that case.

And do y’all think it’s one of those cases where the parents didn’t teach their children the language? Cause I know the omission of showing Joyce speak spanish/portuguese doesn’t mean she can’t but I personally feel like she actually can’t, let alone Will and Jonathan. Because (just for this scenario assuming that the family comes from a country where they speak Spanish) I think if any of the Byers knew how to speak Spanish I’m pretty sure the scenes with Argyle would’ve gone real different lmaoo

So maybe Portuguese?? If Joyce even knows another language.

And idk maybe that’s just me but I’m pretty certain that Will and Jonathan definitely don’t know how to speak another language (only maybe a little bit of Spanish but because of school). Like, even if Joyce’s parents taught her I don’t think she taught her sons. And do you think that if Joyce knows how to speak Spanish/Portuguese it was her decision to not teach her sons or did Lonnie have something to do with that?? Because I can definitely see how that could be the case.

I think I’m gonna make polls about this…. maybe? Idk, I’m just trying to come up with headcanons that fit with canon yk? And I think the case in which Joyce’s parents didn’t teach her the language makes the most sense tbh. I know that that’s not particularly common but it does happen, for example my parents didn’t teach me their native language either which was pretty fucking stupid of them if I might say so lmao. But in Joyce’s case, especially if it’s just one parent or her grandparents/one grandparent it’s not that big of a deal if she doesn’t know the language so it’s also more likely that she actually doesn’t. And Joyce doesn’t seem to be particularly attached to the culture either so I can imagine that the close familiarity with the culture stopped a few generations back which is why I can see how it might be her grandparents or only one of them who was the last to be born in Latin America/Spain/Portugal.

Anyway, I’d like to hear your thoughts on this and also maybe your thoughts on my opinion here because I’m making sense to me but maybe I’m not making sense to any of you guys hahhaha.

The notification charm(name change from Letters of Love, pt.3)

Glad that someone had finally found her parchment, Lily rushed to the common room to tell her friends. But what she saw shocked her. Instead of her friends chatting merrily around the fireplace, she saw Marlene in the centre of a huddle of Gryffindors, sobbing.

She rushed to check in on her friend, and what she learnt was horrible. Marlene’s sister, Evangeline, had been reported missing, with the Dark Mark above her flat. All that Marlene knew was an active member of the resistance was captured by Death Eaters, but the future of her sister was easy to guess. 

After comforting her friend, Lily rushed to the dormitories, but on her way, bumped into Black. The once lively and mischievous prankster that she had known was somehow, shrunken. The sparkle in his eye had been replaced with despair. A month ago, Potter’s family had died, shocking everyone, who had thought that they had the best protection that the resistance had to offer. They had adopted Black as their son without any second thoughts. 

After offering her condolences(for the twentieth time), she ran up to her dormitory, and flung herself onto her bed, trying to sleep after the horrible news. 

But she couldn’t sleep. Dreams of her dead friends haunted her. Lily was generally prone to nightmares, and with news of the Dark Lord rising, she couldn’t sleep. Especially with the death of Elaine Wood, who had welcomed Lily  into Hogwarts when she was a first year, confused about the new world around her. Recently, even the death of Michael brown bothered her, even though she didn’t even know him. The sorrow experienced by the siblings of those who were lost could be felt  by everyone.

It wasn’t safe anymore. The wizarding world that had once been so beautiful and serene was now a place of sadness and despair. News of torture and death among wizards she she had known had left its mark. She had thrown herself into her studies, as an awful coping mechanism, but even academics could not bring back the innocent piece that she had had before. 

And it wasn’t just her. Even Potter, who used to be so arrogant and mischievous, shrunk to half his original self. The news of his parents death was old, yet he hadn’t been able to move on. Neither had Black, who was almost Potter’s brother. Without their pranks and stunts, the castle seemed emptier than usual. 

In the beginning, her friends were a source of support for her, but soon she had realised that she was support for them. With the news of the death of Mary’s parents, and the disappearance of Marlene’s sister, from the news of the Potters’ deaths to the new laws in the rising about limiting the reachof the muggle-borns, Lily was filled with nothing but despair. As much as muggle medicine provided a distraction, nobody could fully sympathise with her worries and fear, nor did they have the capacity. Between worrying about their family to mourning their dead, everyone’s emotions were stretched thin. It was common to see fellow students crying in the bathroom. Even the teachers understood the difficult times, giving less homework and spending more time on defensive strategies, with Flitwick teaching the patrons charm instead of the OWL curriculum, and McGonagall teaching them how to animate figures to block hexes. 

Amongst this tumult, the only person Lily could think of was green script she had just met, so she grabbed her parchment, ink, and quill, and began to write.

I’ve just thought of a AU that included ghosts and time travel because those two things are cool :D

The idea is that instead of just Isabela, Camilo and Mirabel going to save the candle, ALL the grandchildren try to save it. Even little Antonio tries to help because he sees his older siblings and Mirabel running to get the candle.

Just like the actual film, Isabela, Dolores, Luisa, Camilo and Antonio all fail to reach the candle but Mirabel gets the candle and is pushed off the roof by casita and is met with the others at the bottom of the stairs. Also just like in the movie, Bruno’s tower falls down right where all the grandkids are huddled together. But this time, casita doesn’t have enough time to gather enough items to shield every grandkid and all the debris from Bruno’s tower fall right on them, killing them :).

In an attempt to save itself, the miracle uses the last of its power and decides to send the souls of Isabela, Dolores, Luisa, Camilo, Mirabel and Antonio to the past. To the day after Mirabel’s ceremony, to the day after the miracle truly started to break. The miracle wants them to chance the past and try repair the damage caused by Alma. To save the miracle

The ghost!grandkids all decide the best way to do this is to show the younger grandkids what happy lives they could have (what childhoods they wished they had) if they stopped trying to please Alma and the village because if Mirabel showing Isabela that being herself and being happy healed some of the cracks then surely it’ll help save the miracle if their younger selves did the same.

G!Isabela showing Y!Isabela that she is more then just a doll for Alma to mold by getting her to express herself with her gift and hobbies that Alma didn’t like.

G!Dolores telling Y!Dolores that ‘being quiet’ is not good for her and that she should be free to express what she’s feeling and what her opinions are. That just because she hears everything Alma shouldn’t tell her to keep her words to herself.

G!Mirabel (and the rest of the G!grandkids) comforting Y!Mirabel and telling her that she is just as special as the rest of the family. That perhaps if someone else besides her parents tells her that she’s just as special she might actually believe it and won’t grow up with self esteem issues.

Stuff like this is what they teach their younger selves. Now I don’t know what Antonio will do, perhaps this goes on for years and Y! Antonio is born and now has G!Antonio for a friend or Antonio is just hanging around with the others

I think sooner or later, Alma is going to try and squash this ‘little rebellion’ that the Y!grandkids have going on. Try and figure out why they are suddenly not listening to her. Assuming that they are closer with each other because they’re teaming up in this rebellion against the town and family. The G!grandchildren aren’t going to like this :)

OH?!?!?!

OK, one, this broke my heart, the babies </3 and two, this so actually pretty intriguing!

Maybe the Young kids think of them as imaginary firends who happen to be ten years older than them, hence why the adults never really stopped them. They were still kids after all. But as they got older ams the young kids started to rebel, they started getting suspicious.

They were kids, so they let it slide. But now all the sudden, they're so much different. They won't take on certain chores, they play around a lot more, they get into trouble more often, just generally more rowdy, free even. They had even gotten little toddler Antonio in on it, and he's 2 1/2!

Even Casita is more...stubborn. The house usually followed most of Alma's orders, almost without hesitation. But ever since the week after Mirabel's ceremony, the house has been different ever since. It felt even more alive than before, if that makes sense.

Then again, all of those drawings of older, slightly tattered and transparent versions of them might be making a bit more sense. They must have been forming from kind of revolution against Alma and by extension, the family...right?

A while ago someone asked for some Silco interacting with the girls when Vander first adopted them in Zaun Family. So here’s him with Powder – I’ll also write him with Vi I just want to start actually posting things again.

Tags: omegaverse, implied-past-mpreg

---------------

 It turns out peace is more work than war.

Piltover might be willing to humor their list of demands but Silco knows if there is any way for the topsiders to wiggle out of their end they will take it. And they don’t respect a handshake nor care if other Zaunites know they don’t stick by their word.

Written contracts they at least will honor. So Silco is once again spending his night reading over the proposed treaty to see if there is any clause that might let Piltover slip their duties.

He tries not to think about the role that will be created by the treaty. Nor who is the obvious person to send into that pit of vipers and be able to play their game and fight for what Zaun needs.

Those thoughts are for after the ink dries.

As he goes to turn the page a hairbrush slides up on and across the table. Looking down he meets the gaze of the younger of the two reasons they are going ahead with this whole negotiation to put down their arms against Piltover.

It is slightly unfair to put the entirety of the blame onto the two girls that Vander had found on the bridge that night. There was also their boys to consider, and how if they continued down the path of violence then they would likely leave them similarly orphaned. A previously acceptable risk that now feels harder to be okay with. And Piltover seemed willing to at least listen and offer something even if it is not full independence. Right now they have the opportunity to make real progress for the people in Zaun, an opportunity that may vanish all too easily.  

Powder’s expression is clearly unsure as she stares up at him.

The girl’s seem a little unsure of him generally. The eldest of them sticking by Vander’s side as much as she can and keeping her younger sister close, trying to keep her out of trouble and out of Silco’s way.

He supposes it must be hard to come into the house that already has pups in it on top of losing their parents to Piltover’s violence. The fear of being forced onto Silco as a responsibility despite not being one of his own born.

Vander might have made the decision to bring them home but they are theirs now, blood or not.

“Do you want me to brush your hair?” Silco asks and Powder gives a short nod. “Can you sit on my lap?”

Powder nods against so Silco helps her up onto his lap. Reaching out for the hairbrush as he runs the fingers of his other hand through her hair.

It makes sense she would come to him for this. Vander was hopeless at hair despite Silco’s best attempts to teach him and while Vi had been doing it the last few days it was clearly a new task for the older girl. While Silco’s hair wasn’t as long as it had been when he was younger it was still long enough to braid at times and the pup was clearly smart enough to realize from that he would be the best option to care for hers as well.

Powder reaches out to grab the paperweight from his desk, twisting it in her hands as Silco brushes her hair through.

None of his boys had wanted to grow their hair out. Instead wanting it short like their sire’s. They had all inherited Vander’s curlier hair so perhaps it was for the best.

Powder has thick straight hair though. And, assuming presenting didn’t change it, she would be able to grow it long one day.

For now it reaches the small of her back as Silco neatly braids it. Grabbing one of his bands from the table to tie it off with.

“You can get up now,” Silco says as he lets the braid drop.

“Do I have to?” Powder asks, looking directly up at him with those wide, worried eyes.

“Not if you don’t want to.” Silco is well adapt to working with a pup on his lap. “What I’m doing is boring though.”

“I don’t mind,” Powder says and that settles it Silco supposes as he goes back to the treaty as Powder keeps idly playing with the things on his desk.

The company makes the work slightly more bearable. A reminder of the future they are doing this all for.

malcolm was an educated man—moving between circles (read:escaping from) for most of his younger and adult life had afforded him that at least, and when theo was young and an only child his father would teach him to read and write, give him occasional little lessons when they had time, and theo was awed by him, by the way their neighbours would come to ask him questions, seemed to respect him as an educated person, would pay him for lessons, but soon those paid lessons and the mutual attempt between father and son to make money for the family meant that theo’s lessons fell to the wayside—malcolm could see that theo didn’t have a focus or particular talent academically, he was certainly no mage, so he thought to let the boy just learn the basics and not bother him with all the rest

then, when the twins were born, malcolm was convinced that one of them, at least, would manifest magick—and from the time they could toddle he was passionate about educating them in all he knew (much of his advanced education was of course magickal scholarship), eventually his focus shifted to bethany because he correctly sensed her aptitude, and he spent almost all of his free time educating his daughter one on one, giving her almost all of his attention

carver developed a deep resentment over this—theo i don’t think ever resented it so much as it fucked up his sense of self worth further, he just internalized the idea that he hadn’t been intelligent enough to really warrant his fathers focus the same way, of course it would have been a waste to pass all that onto him, it also gave him this inherent idea that mages are, in general, more intelligent than him, more educated, of a higher strata in a class-based way, the hawkes grew up in extreme poverty and theo only attended a few years of the paltry free schooling the chantry offered before leaving to take work to make money—carver attended for much longer, and attached himself to the chantry much for the reason that the sisters there seemed willing to show him the special attention that his father reserved for their sister in their little private school at home

of course, the root of all malcolm’s focus on bethany wasn’t favoritism—it was fear, he was desperately trying to equip her with the knowledge she would need to keep herself safe and secret from the templars, always living with the crushing fear that if anything happened to him she would be utterly alone and unprepared to deal with her own magicks unless he could teach her everything he knew while there was still time, it was loving for bethany, the special focus of her father, but it was also suffocating, and terrifying, and a constant reminder of how frightening her future was going to be

#ABOUT. #RE:BETHANY. #RE:CARVER. #RE:MALCOLM. #carver has a deep and fiery resentment over it #and it certainly drove a wedge between him and bethany #which then drove a wedge between him and theo because #theo and bethany are so close and always seemed to have #their special little is only sibling club that carver was #excluded from because he was so angry and immature #and then after their father left it was theo and bethany #who were the ‘grown ups’ taking care of carver and leandra

Brothers Grimm and the Story Book of Legends

God I spent so much time formulating this theory please hear me out, I know it’s long but I think it’s worth it

Here I’ll try to give an answer to the existence of the book of legends, the whole legacy thing and how these things relate to the Brothers Grimm

Ok, the first gen brothers Grimm come from a different world than Ever after High, not necessarily our world, actually I think it would be interesting if they came from the Monster High universe, which we know has portals to Ever After High. They were, however, the first ones to travel to Ever After and the portal that they went through was in the cavern that Giles got lost in as a kid. I’ll explain more of that in a while.

Ok, the original brothers discovered a world without any magic, but with something peculiar about it’s people. When they narrated their lives, it sounded like… a book. With a linear plot, defined villains and a simple, satisfying end that taught some type of lesson, some of those lives even remembering myths and stories they’ve heard of in their world. They decided to register those peculiar stories and noticed some recurring roles and lessons,but those didn’t have to be hereditary, they could be anyone. The Evil Stepmother, The Knight in a Shiny Armor, the Forbidden Lover, The Damsel in Distress, etc.

And another role. The rebel. A Girl, born in each generation that seemed destined to go against tradition and rules. We’ll also come back to that.

 The cavern that brought the brothers to that world was also a portal to other worlds, including one that they called Wonderland, a place with way too much magic and not nearly as much logic. Really, the Brothers Grimm didn’t mean to bring magic to the fairy tale world, they just wanted to open a portal to that land of Wonders, but that accident changed the Fairy Tale world forever, as magic became a part of it.

The magic had two main effects. Gave powers to the people related to their fairy tales, whether they acted like an evil witch or a kind princess and two, made the complete ordinary book where the Brothers registered their stories into the Storybook of Legends, a powerful item that registered the lives of the more extraordinary inhabitants of that world. However, there was a problem, the powers were hereditary, but if someone didn’t sign their page, their family would lose their powers. Not their story, not be erased from existence, but simply lose their powers. Some of them were more powerful than others. And those would go to great lengths to keep their happy ever after. 

There was, however, a strange presence. A girl, registered in the book, but with no story, as ironic as that may sound, destined to do whatever her heart so desired. The Rebel.

She was, however, incredibly powerful, and since they couldn’t know if she was going to use that power for good or evil, she was dangerous.

THeir opinions on her was one of the reasons the brothers had a fall out, one of them believing that she had t be controlled, just like everyone else, as they had to do anything to keep that magic, even if it meant taking away the free will of the next generations, the other arguing that no amount of magic was worth that and that they should allow the people to make their choices. The latter lost the fight, disappearing forever and the former stayed, teaching his appreciation for tradition and rules to his sons: Giles and Milton. 

Here I’m changing canon a bit because the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid ass decision I’ve decided to ignore it: yes, Giles got lost in a cavern as a kid and it was the same cavern that brought the Grimms to that world, however, he didn’t just stay there for a few hours, he stayed decades lost there. You see, the cavern is a bunch of portals to different worlds and it’s very easy to get lost in them, in different worlds or dimensions. That was when Giles went to Monster High and did the whole thing with Whisp. Then, after decades, he managed to get back to Ever After High.

He was, first of all, way older and way less willing to abide by the rules and tradition, so just like the first Brothers, Giles and Milton had a disagreement and a fall out, that’s canon.

MIlton then, following the instructions and beliefs of his dad, decided to create Ever After High, to be able to watch everyone and led them to make the right choice and follow their assigned legacy. Including the girl that didn’t fit it. At some point it was found out that if she signed a story she was stuck with it and couldn’t choose her destiny anymore. So they made her a story. A story about an evil queen poisoning an innocent girl so she could rule, but inevitably ending up imprisoned. They turned the girl with a choice into the villain. The most powerful villain. The Evil Queen.

I mean, Raven’s mother was rebellious against her story too, just in a different way than Raven, she probably knew that by signing the Storybook of Legends she would be determining her fate, but otherwise she could be anything, even the ruler of all the worlds. Maybe the reason she cursed Wonderland was to end the whole thing about the magic in Ever After being directly related to their story. So basically all the Evil Queens are like the biggest threat to the traditions and made-up rules of this world, and not all of them were evil, but they were all deemed as villains in an attempt of everyone being too scared of her to want to be like her.

That’s it, my stupid little theory that is like 60% me just bullshitting my way into making something cohesive

Now that you’re finished Owl House: what are your thoughts?! How would you fix it if you wrote it? Do you have anything to fix?!

Oh man. I loved the entire thing and I loved all the subtle slaps to the face they gave Disney. You can just TELL they had a lot planned and couldn’t get to it. Very sad.

One thing I actually completely 1000000000% adore is that in the end, Luz beats Belos with Eda and King. The two people who looked at this weird ass human and decided “Yeah we like her. Weirdos stick together.’ These three started the show and they were there at the end, fighting the good fight. Freaking AWESOME. Also the ‘well we ain’t’ line before SMASH.

Honestly, if I had to say what I’d fix is really based on pacing and the introduction of characters. I’m still convinced they didn’t have Hunter in the first season because Disney would have jumped on him and tried to force him to be with Luz as the main pairing. However if they had still kept him in season 2 but had longer to do the show I think they could have had a really good redemption arc with him, bordering on Zuko level. Yet in a world where we didn’t have to worry about that: Hunter being in the first season and having his rivalry with both Lilith and Kikimora would be awesome. It would have also allowed for the development of HuntLow better. (I like it but it’s kind of a shallow ship for me sadly. Very little meat compared to the other ships)

I would have had Raine show up season 1 as well, to show that not everyone in the covens buy the pretty lies. But also cause they’re there that final moment of Belos and I think having them around, connecting to Luz, for a longer period would be really good.

More lore would have been epic. I wish they’d done way more build up for the King is a Titan reveal. I wish we had more info on the titans in general and maybe we could have had more hints of the Titan connecting to Luz (she has those brief moments in season 3 I’d love to expand on. Maybe the portal she made kick started it?)

I’d love to also have more drama with Vee. I have THOUGHTS on how Vee accuses Luz is being ungrateful. I wanted Luz to toss back that Vee doesn’t know her. That sure she might have liked the camp for teaching her how to be human, the other kids apparently hated it and called it prison. “How do you think I would have liked being sent away?”

“She loves you!”

“She wanted to CHANGE WHO I AM!”

I just want this anger. Because yes, Luz loves her mom. But I think that the anger is needed here, that we need to see Luz be angry that her mom decided she had to change. We already saw that it was born out of worry for her daughter but like… that’s still not okay. I want the anger. I want Luz to throw it in Vee’s face and then I want Luz to be pissed at her mother.

“What you’re going to make me give up what makes me happy again?! Were you happy I came back changed?! Did you ignore the glaring signs I was different because I was finally what you wanted?!”

I want the rage. I want it. Because I love how kind and generous Luz is.

And she deserves to get mad.

I just… there’s so much there. I wanted to see th development of Lumity over a longer period. It was great, my fav ship, but god there was so much potential of a good slow burn and character development. I wanted to see how Alador slowly became more invovled with his kids. I wanted to see him realize how his wife treats them all is horrific. I wanted to see Darius’s bitterness towards Hunter followed by a realization that this was a KID he was bullying.

There’s so much unseen I wish I could have had more of. I still rank the show 9/10 because of how good it is. But if I wasn’t ignoring how rushed it was, it would only be 5/10 because there’s so much there we could have had.

[starmage-constellar]

add fans please i have the sacred texts

bro half of this is gonna be nonsense but i need to spread my truths

okay, elstumblr. add grenore right. what a dude.

he’s been through a lot, but GOD is that all so misrepresented and practically ignored

im here to give a rundown on add as a character, from his childhood all the way to when he joins the main cast (& in general, his relationship with eve)

of course, since its.. add.. there’s TW for the following:

- death

- abuse

- enslavement

of course, we start off with add being born. right off the bat, asker (his dad) didn’t even attend his birth. he was informed by one of his manor’s servants that he now had a child. and rather than be there to not only celebrate his new son’s existence but also support his own wife, he stayed at his desk and occupied him with the things that concerned him the most (which are. clearly not the people who are meant to be his family).

when add was just a child, his father pushed him through rigorous teachings. anything out of turn resulted in not only physical but verbal abuse. asker most definitely had a temper and took it out on his son during lessons. he was so frustrated with every small mistake that add made―whether it was his intention to make it or not―that add started to see it as “normal” and “understandable” just because nasods were endangered. he excused his father’s actions and temper because that’s what he was made to do. 

and, it’s not like he had anyone to tell him otherwise until much later. he was completely sheltered his whole life. even if there’s nothing that tells us he didn’t talk to anyone outside of his home, i think it’s a correct assumption. do you honestly think that someone as controlling and abusive as asker would: A) allow add to do anything but put his time and energy towards nasods? & B) nourish the sort of mindset within add that would allow him to comfortably communicate with anyone outside the house? no. add would already struggle with a majority of the symptoms of c-ptsd (self-worth issues, ignoring red flags/excusing abusive behaviours, relationship difficulties, etc). 

however, “excusing abusive behaviours” isn’t to say that those affected by c-ptsd arent afraid of their abusers. when add finds out about his father’s plan, he’s terrified of what asker will end up doing to him. he’s still just a kid! it’s not like he totally understands whats going on, no matter how smart he might be for his age. also, he willingly listens in on the conversation between his parents, only fleeing once he thinks he’ll get caught (though it was grace who peeked out the door). he can infer already that what he was doing wasn’t something he should’ve been doing/something asker would be displeased with. he’s never been afraid of his mother, he’s afraid of the consequences of his actions as they pertain to his father because of how much control asker has had over add’s life to that point. he’s afraid of disappointing his father again.

then, we get to the day when nasod ruler caught up with his family. they killed his family and destroyed his home. i think a part of him felt like he upset his father, but it wouldn’tve mattered then. above all else, he was utterly distraught that someone had taken away his mother. grace was the only person that, given the narrow scope of people he knew up until then, he ever cared about genuinely. he checked into her lab every day after lessons to see if she was around because he loved her. grace was his comfort, and that makes sense! she was an incredibly loving and caring mother. she was the only support system add ever had in his life. 

im certain that when he was captured, it was in the midst of his panic and distress, so he would’ve been trying to get away from them as much as he could. he wanted his mother back. im not even sure if he understood she wasn’t going to come back, but i also don’t think he would care much if she was alive or dead. i have a feeling that even if he understood she was dead, he would rather stay by her corpse than be anywhere else because it was still his mother. it was still his comfort and his support, even if she wasn’t breathing. 

to the actual slavery part, though. initially, add would be very uncertain about being in the situation. he wasn’t given the time to process his mother’s death, so he would be undoubtedly shaken up about it for a while. he would have so many mixed emotions and wouldn’t be given the time to process them. and this is SO important to know about his character.

throughout every traumatic situation he’s had to go through, there has been nobody that he is able to speak on these matters with. he’s had no time to question anything or understand anything from a different view. he is left to keep dealing with these things in an unhealthy manner, if dealing with them at all.

it is for this reason that his reaction to the new world when he wakes up in the library infuriates me. yes, he is fascinated by the library, and that’s understandable. it’s a vast collection of knowledge. knowledge that could help him. knowledge that could make him stop disappointing people around him. however, his reaction to dynamo sort of irritates me. in a way, i understand his abrasiveness. he wants to do things on his own. escaping from slavery was already a way of proving to himself he was capable of something. however, i don’t think he should be as annoyed with it as he is. it’s clear, by the point he entered the library, he was inquisitive enough to understand things pretty quickly. like, he was smart enough to make use of dynamo once he got outside. i don’t get why he tried to ignore dynamo so vehemently when he could’ve clearly seen it wouldn’t leave him alone lmao...

but oh god.. we get to him interacting with echo.....................

we’re going back to him having bad people skills. i doubt he would have ever gotten comfortable speaking to anyone, given what happened to him. i also think he could’ve been a little more hesitant entering elder, but that’s just my thought (he does mention that he’s never seen cities around him before, so). 

i understand he knows a lot about the nasodian race, but it seems a little weird to have him come out of two incredibly-emotionally-damaging situations being able to communicate with a stranger so quickly.

however, i appreciate him being intrigued by a request. he’s only ever known how to do things for people, for the most part. to be offered a request―a chance for him to prove himself again―and possibly earn a reward in exchange is something he would be willing to do. im also thankful that he’s confused by echo’s hospitality. (still quite pissed off about his “tsundere” attitude, though...)

adding to what they’ve done right, though, i think quantum leap vol. 3 is my favourite volume. it’s a little flawed, but i think it’s a great explanation of add as a character. his driving force is to become stronger and to get rid of his weaknesses. weakness = vulnerability = suffering.

uhh.. moving past some other shit because it’s already 1:30 am

keeping this brief: add only helped wally because he thought it would be a good way to prove himself again to somebody, but ultimately betrayed him when he noticed small similarities in their relationship compared to his previous situations. 

add also never let himself process anything he really went through, even when he isolated himself inside the library. again, the whole not wanting to be weak thing. any sort of vulnerability would just make him weaker, which would make him more susceptible to getting hurt again. thus, to protect himself, he refused to let himself look back on and deal with his issues when he was finally in a safe environment. to him, they’re just intrusive thoughts that he thinks he’s been able to deal with. (plus, he was down there to study. he’s not gonna waste his time with that!)

oh right i almost forgot. Eve.

god. okay. getting it out up front: i am not an add/eve shipper. i have never shipped it, and my stance is that add is simply infatuated with eve from a technological standpoint. hell, she’s the queen of the nasod race. if anyone has the answers on how the guy can get back to his time period, certainly it’s the queen of nasods! this is even reflected in 2nd path, where he’s solely focused on eve to take advantage of her coding to his own benefit (of course, 2nd path is also very arrogant and such). i understand that the main story allows for add to get closer with eve, but even in elSYION NOT ELRIANODE SORRY, he’s still acting obsessive and abnormal in terms of how he conducts himself around her compared to everyone else.

uhh i dont think i have any more to say,, if you made it this far, hi! thank you for reading my autism paper

also its 1:40 am im so fucking sleepy i cant go on with summarizing this essay

#elsword #add grenore #add elsword #edward grenore #also where the fuck did he get the catboy jacket from im still confused #like echo didn't give him that so where the fuck did that come from #my boy can't sew for shit don't even try it #character analysis
