Nomads AU! He’s……..DEAD?!

(This is basically what was going through the brothers heads during world tour)

John Dory: He showed up to the wedding looking for Bitty B (Branch) and after crashing said wedding the ✨queen✨ of pop came up to him for questioning. John soon explained that he was looking for his brother Bitty B/Branch, which wildly confused Poppy? No one named Branch ever lived in the village from what she remembered, and Peppy was very clearly trying to avoid the topic (this man straight up covered up branch existing 😃, it’s not to far fetched he would keep him a secret he’s the king of secrets ) In that moment sooooo much dred filled John, he asked immediately abt grandma Rosiepuff. Which king Peppy (surprisingly) told him what happened to her. When I tell you the amount of fear and guilt that man felt. Not only was his grandma dead, his brother was probably dead too. WELL he wasn’t going to take that he just knew his brother was out there…….. right?

After finding Bruce and Clay John knew he was running out of time to get Floyd, and with no leads. He had to accept it his baby brother was.…dead. It got reeeeeeeaaally bad for him. The guilt that HE INADVERTENTLY CAUSED HIS BROTHERS DEATH!! Just by leaving was crushing this man, he was on the verge of a complete breakdown. The others knew deep down Baby branch was gone they just haven’t processed that yet, still in a state of denial that maybe just maybe he was out there.. Maybe having a solo career that none of the brothers knew about (what a nice thought right) but he knew he had to break the news. After all they need to know their baby brother is…. Dead.

Bruce: He wasn’t as distressed when Bitty B wasn’t there when they showed up, but he was concerned they had no idea where he was which would have been fine IF it was any other brother except it was the baby of the family that they left behind in A TROLL EATING VILLAGE!! (No one talks about that enough, he could’ve died) He was concerned that’s for sure.

It was unreal to Bruce, John after a while finally broke the news that branch was … dead. To say Bruce was guilty was an understatement. He may have left his brother and basically had a family with the intention of never coming back but still all he could think about was if that was his kids. That there uncle was gone and they would never meet him. HE would never meet him. The poor guy was hugging photos too his chest sobbing (They knew that branch was probably dead but they all kept there hope that maybe just maybe bitty b was alive) but now he had to except it his baby brother was…Dead.

Clay: Oh boy. He was surprised to see his brothers, HELL he was surprised to see other trolls, but he was grateful until he noticed two were missing? After being caught up on Floyd he was prepared to go but Clay was confused. Where was Baby Branch? He asked and none of them had an answer (they were all hoping he was with clay or near but- well u know) Clay was hit with a toooonnn of fear. (living in a golf course fearing the bergens definitely wasn’t helping knowing his baby brother was still in the tree when he left) but he vowed he would find him.

(Yea no.. that vow went unaccomplished when they were out of time, they couldn’t look for branch since Floyd was… well.. u know dying!)

When John broke the news Clay was sobbing. Poor guy was trying to get his serious act together and just couldn’t. He had to be the serious guy and blow right past this mishap- but Clay couldn’t he felt guilty, responsible, he was in the tree with them (my headcannon)and he never visited. Grandma was dead and Branch was eaten by a Bergen! (as far as they know) He was a mess.. maybe it was cause he was younger then his brothers, or the fact he has been bottling up his emotions for uh…years by being serious. (yea maybe.. don’t do that) he always hoped his family got out in the escape but… deep down he sorta knew that wasn’t true, now he had to deal with the serious reality his baby brother… is Dead.

(It was a very messy drive they were absolutely devastated)

Floyd: (oh this is going to be a rough one) he was saved. He was saved by his brothers they were cheering and ugly sobbing? (it wasn’t pretty) but all that raced through his head was “where’s Branch?” When he asked that all his brothers immediately stopped cheering, their ugly crying turned from happy to sad (somehow their crying turned uglier?HOW?!) then the brothers dropped the news… and when I tell you Floyd’s world stopped in that moment. Because it did for him his brother his little brother was…gone. Floyd hadn’t cried much in a while, he tried to keep his emotions to himself more by adapting the rock lifestyle so no one would call him sensitive again. But it was like a dam broke, he was full on sobbing (at least it wasn’t ugly crying like his brothers 😔) his brother was dead HIS BROTHER WAS DEAD!!! Yea he was sobbing HARD- the poor guy was screaming too, begging his brothers this could be some cruel joke on him and …no one denied his accusations. He thought at times his brother could be dead and gone but, Floyd always pushed those thoughts away-

But now there was no denying it, his.. little brother was… Dead.

(Poppy and viva were here to, they just weren’t important for this post, it’s kinda a summary but it’s really just there reactions no branch being there upon the meeting of the brothers and the dred that filled till they announced “He wAs DeAd!” It’s sooooo long 😭)

Ok, here we go twd series finale review, very long i'm afraid

Things i liked:

- The fact that basically everyone survived (except Rosita but im gonna talk abt her) and had a happy ending (except Caryl but im gonna talk abt them in a separate post). I was expecting more deaths, which in retrospective was naive of me cause Twd has always done that, one big death in a finale or even in half a season, thats all. And considering Caryl's ending, having everyone else, or almost, happy is a balm for my heart. Some people are probably thinking that there wasnt enough death, but im more than ok with that. I was sooo freaking worried for Aaron, Gabriel and Eugene particularly that the relief was immense.

- Rosita's emotional scenes with Eugene. Not once in season 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8, could have i imagine things ending like that between them. Not once have i imagined back then the possibility of seing these two saying to each other how much they loved each other.

Contrary to a then popular belief, i always knew she cared abt him deeply: please go see her reaction when he's taken by Negan instead of her in 7.08, she's litteraly losing it. And her anger at him and "determination" with Daryl to "kill him" (pff, yeah, right) in s8 only shows how much she was hurt by his actions. They grew closer after the time jump in s9 and were basically bff by then even if he still was in love with her and had to be reminded later that no, it would not happen. So while im not surprised abt the love they had for each other, im actually amazed they said it outloud, like whaoh, because if there is one relationship in this show that hasn't been ruined but on the contrary has totally improved over the course of the last seasons, it's them. Their scenes in those last episodes were magnificent, and the finale was no exception. They have come such a long way. I bawled like a baby.

The highlight of this moment: "im glad it was you in the end". Excuse me? 🤧😭😭😭

- Rosita and Gabriel: at first it felt underwhelming, like he didnt show many emotions. Not when he learnt the news, that i could understand, he was in shock and it was actually such a fucking beautiful scene... but then, he prayed for her, and at first i thought could u pleaaaase drop the priest act and be the former boyfriend/the father of her child that she needs before dying (i dont care that Coco's not his biological child, and that they were broken up by now, he IS her father. And i loved Siddiq, but u get my point). But then i understood. He was on the verge of crying while praying, and tried to be strong and keep it together for her and Coco. He had to take care of Coco, having Rosita saying goodbye to her and then taking her away before the turn... Acting like a priest and a father, and not the man who loved her probably helped him stay grounded in this. I have no doubt that he lost it and ugly cried for hours in private alone in his room, off screen.

The highlight of this moment: "we will see you again someday". I'm not okay. I'M NOT OKAY😭😭

- Daryl being there for Rosita in a subtle, discreet and moving way. They did share a significant amount of scenes together over the course of the show ( ex: both kidnapping Eugene in s8, both trying to save him in s11c, kind of "funny" in a way) so it made sense that he was there.

- Rosita's goodbye with Carol and Maggie. The OG being there for one of the OG (Rosita is to me by now, in a sense). I wish we have had more scenes between them three..

- The fact that we didnt see who got to take her down before turning. It was not Gabriel who was with Coco. We can assume it was Eugene, and it is fitting, but who knows: Daryl was still behind them. Maybe Eugene could not do it, since he was so emotional, and maybe Daryl did it (a la Dale and Rick, remember? He would be the kind of guys to do this). I loved that we could interpret it the way we wanted.

- The music. It was awfully beautiful the whole episode, and i might go back on this for my specific post about Caryl for example, but the whole music post time jump especially was heart breaking. And then can we talk about.. Landslide?? LANDSLIDE GUYS? Really?? 😭😭😭 This song makes me cry no matter what so you can imagine... in a scene who reminds us of the s7 dinner scene?? And also the one in s1... Please😭🤧 (oh, Yumiko's toast to Luke also reminded me about Abe's speech "to the survivors! " in the church in s5...💔)

- The "we're the ones who live" montage. I loved the first montage too especially since we got to see almost all the people we lost, but the dialogue/monologues of Richonne were too cheesy for me. I would not have minded "cheesy" for a reunion between them or between Rickyl or between him and the kids, him and Carol, etc... but for something that sets the spin off and isnt final, it didnt work out for me (also, since we're paying tribute to the dead in this montage: Sophia and Merle were missing. Hell, they could even have added Jim and Jacquie, Amy.....

But i did like that Sasha was put beside Maggie and Tyreese beside Carol, it was fitting in a way that i cant describe).

A simple line like "we're the ones who live" repeated by everyone made a bigger impact on me than their inner monologue in the first montage. Just my opinion, obviously. And we got to hear Morgan too: the "Morganite" in me kept saying please show him, please show him, please show him... So i obviously screamed when it happened. And hey, we even got a glimpse/nano second of Dwight too!

On a side note, i was soo happy we got more of Richonne than what i thought we would get, aka 2 sec as a post credit. I loved that it was in the actual episode and that it was quite long!

- Seeing Rick again. I loved seeing Michonne too, but i was simply a wreck to be able to get to see him, simply see him, and hear him again. Not because i love him more, but because he left earlier i guess. The wait was longer. Also, not my dumbass realising on a second rewatch only that their timelines were different🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️ (he had the phone, she had the phone... He threw the bag that she found later in the boat just before beeing taken back..)

Plus the line "Consignee Grimes..." with the look on his face, desesperate but determined, and the music behind... gave me so many chills omfg

- Luke's death. Didnt like that he died obviously, but the acting...the acting... it was so good and so poignant, it broke me

- Yumiko and Magna, while i didnt really actually care about them, i have to admit that seing them back together was nice amongst the chaos, and yumiko has been a bad ass with the whole Eugene situation these last episodes

- Princess living her best life at the end with Mercer just like i wanted, her being the bad ass that she is saving her man

- Eugene getting the freaking happiness he deserves, with baby Rosie (💔) and Max

- Zeke and Daryl's hug at the end. After everything, that was nice

- the callbacks: Daryl protecting Judith in her hospital room the same way Shane did with Rick... Giving her his blood just like Rick with Carl... Gabriel opening the gates after refusing to do so to his parishioners when we were untroduced to him... oh my💔 (i was sooo sure he was gonna die here and then by the way... as in coming full circle sacrifice u know... i stopped breathing)

- "At least we dont have to worry about who will get your house" "we already had to make an ugly decision: we kept u alive" KABOOOOOOOOOM CAROL MY HERO

Things that bothered me:

- well, caryl, though not surprising, but its for a separate post because there are still things that i liked, and things that i obviously didnt in this whole mess

- Negan and Maggie talk: I wish this particular talk had been saved for the spin off, so that we could have focused on having last moments with the other two people who were supposed to have a spin off together but ended up separated, u know, couch couch. That said, it was still a beautiful scene: of course she doesnt forgive him, of course she remembers how he laughed while killing Glenn, how Glenn called for her ("i'll find you"💔), and the fact that she still acknowledges he's trying and how she is grateful he saved Herschel Jr's life is more than enough and it would not have been realistic to have her forgive him. Now, we'll see i guess what happens in their spin off...

- i LOVE Glenn, but i would also have loved for Negan to remember that he killed Abraham too (not even talking abt all the things he did because thats not the point i want to make). He didnt have any scenes with Rosita, or Eugene, to be able to do that, but it really didnt seat well with me. And i wanted so bad for Eugene to mention Abe while Rosita was dying, saying something like "say hello to the big bad red- haired bad ass we all miss over here" well maybe not like that because cringe and clumpsy, but i dont know, something, anything, a simple mention for fook's sake. But he still was in the first montage, thankfully.

- Merle beeing, again, mentioned only for the bad things he did. I know he was NO angel, but if we can move forward when it comes to Negan we certainly can when it comes to Merle, who had no real time to be fully developped a la negan but still redeemed himself releasing Michonne and trying to take down the governor by himself, all because, believe it or not, he loved Daryl. So each time he's mentioned, and its rare, its actually to say things like "he would have been Negan" (back in s7 i think or 8, Daryl said that to Tara) which in my opinion is not true (s1 Merle? Probably. But the Merle who tried to kill the governor? Absolutely no. By then, he would have stood up to Negan a la Abraham i think. Especially if Daryl's safety was involved.). Or to say " he made me sell my blood for drugs". Great. We soo needed to know that. I get that Daryl probably have very actual few good memories of Merle (hopefully when they were very little at last), but lets not act like he didnt love him, didnt lose it when he learnt that Rick abandonned him on the roof, didnt cry his heart out when he died (the first time we actually saw Daryl cry i believe), didnt want Merle to try be part of the group... ("I just want my brother back.. " Remember?) No, instead, lets just bring again how shitty he could be and not acknowledge his sacrifice, despite how we keep saying in this show that we're remembered for the last thing we did, hence why its important etc. And believe me, i hated him at first like everyone else. But it seems unfair to me. I would have prefered no mention at all.

- also, how it was just an excuse to explain conveniently that Daryl is an universal donor, when it comes to blood... who knows if learning this in earlier seasons could have been helpful 🤣🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

- "To Luke", yeah... and to Jules too i guess? Although her grave/stone was shown later along his, and i get that she wasnt as developped as him (and he wasnt even greatly developped himself..) but still?

- Daryl's reaction to THE Rick news: i waited one full season for this? I get that at first he thinks Judith's kind of dizzy and not thinking clear (and he did have a "shocked" look for 2 sec) but when she then confirms it, what do we have? "Is this true ? Yeah? Well im not going anywhere" (!!?). Then he stays for a full more year indeed (!!?) and then he leaves, but while eveyone seems to assume in the comments/reactions i've seen that he goes looking for Rick/Michonne, i took it as "im following Maggie's advice to go explore and oh Jude by the way if i come across them i'll bring them back". IF, he says, not "im gonna look for them". All this coming from a man who looked for Rick's body for years, so much that Carol had to check on him worried as fuck on a very regular basis to make sure he was ok. Yep. I dont know, maybe i missed something?

it’s mad embarassing how fast i tapped on the tumblr notification 🏌️BUT,,, THE SERVE???? HELLO??????

forget abt gojo & rip! mc getting together, right now in my head, it’s established that the ms. ieri shoko asked mc out and he’s forever trapped in a pining zone. i’m in the verge of tears, it’s not even funny. gojo’s pining and that underlying possessiveness got me screaming. aside from the fact that the “character a is possessive towards character b even tho there’s no romantic relationship (just yet)/ eventually bound to be a star crossed one” is one of my fav. ///head in hands/// maybe u caught me lacking just this once.

ALSO i love that u bring up that gojo’s awful with words even tho he talks like he’s on sugar high 24/7. and maybe i’m overthinking it b-but, this line let me a glimpse on dark gojo : “You shouldn’t be giving that much thought to anything but him.” and then the implication of him going batshit crazy if mc d word and could possibly curse each other like rika and yuta? 🧎‍♀️ maybe u rly shld think abt stop writing,,, u don’t understand the power u have over me

not to mention that THE KITTEN SCENE MADE IT. u keep mentioning getou like he’s a literal ghost, and for what? it’s just painful to think that he might be a bad habit that the trio continuously do, like looking at the vacant spot after someone tells a joke and realizing “oh, right they’re not here anymore” and the atmosphere becomes quiet and a ting bit tense. gojo is unapologetically selfish and he has the power and right to be that way but i feel like he’s subconsciously afraid that someone like mc who’s not selfish and put others b4 her will left him just like geto whose wish sound selfish as hell but all he wanted was a world where young shamans don’t need to conform to the fact that they’ll always die in their line of work to exorcise a curse that’ll eventually came back after their death. now lemme get thru the ripverse again and a tissue - 🐱

ISHDJDJDN THE ONLY REASON WHY I DIDNT ANSWER THIS ASAP WAS BC I WANTED TO KEEP IT IN MY ASKBOX AND LOOK AT IT

It's so funny that you say that abt the shoko part bc as soon as I reread it after I posted it I thought damn I could've made it so much more gayer LOL

I think gojo's inability to articulate anything past surface level emotions should be brought up more!!! Mans has the emotional intelligence of a ROCK!! you reminded me that I need to get that drabble of gojo "jokingly" but not really telling rip!mc he'd curse her before he lets her die bc let's face it...he sucks and he would. Gojo has so much angst/dark potential that I'd like to explore more bc gojo is a rlly complex character. Also the fact that gojo has considered rip!mc "his" since their mid twenties while she has no idea 😭

I'm glad you liked the cat scene!! Tbh I debated on putting it in considering that it wasn't as fleshed out as I wanted it to be but I thought it would be show gojo's disconnect from rip!mc pretty well!! Also gojo as a maine coon

and geto...JEJDNDN GETO!! Rip!mc sitting down next to gojo but leaving enough space for a ghost of a person. When she goes out to buy drinks she buys an extra and calls it a mistake but gojo and shoko know better. Gojo stopping by geto's favorite bakery bc he "likes" their melon bread, so rip!mc doesn't bring up how he always complained about it not being sweet enough when they were with geto. Shoko occasionally leaving out an extra cigarette on the windowsill when rip!mc sleeps over and gives her a knowing look. I am going CRAZY

#no thoughts just geto #you basically hit it on the SPOT #your asks make my day 🐱 anon #MWAHHH #ask #🐱 anon #ripverse answered #.fb

you ever have that one muse that’s just like . . . no matter how many characters you play , not matter how much time goes by , you will never get sick of writing that muse & they’re such a huge comfort character and mean the world to you ?? YES , that’s me with miss zelda here . i . . . love zelda ( the character and the series ) with every fiber of my being and after a lot of debate i finally decided i’d bring her here !! i’m doing leon’s intro next and will try to get to replies ( want to get down zel’s intro soon but i’d like to plot things first ) afterwards but pls pls pls here’s a detailed plotting call for my princess !! pls like / react if you’re interested - or let me know if we’re already plotting !!

IN A CANON NUTSHELL : so this zelda is the princess from the masterpiece known as breath of the wild - one hundred years before the events of the game , she was kind of the ‘leader’ of the champions , a group of people who were tasked to aid in protecting hyrule once calamity ganon rose again . link , who was also a champion , was assigned as her personal knight - in the beginning . . . she did not like him for the fact that he seemed to have everything under control and she didn’t . why ?? well , zelda , from birth , was told she had to unlock a power in herself that would potentially save hyrule from the calamity , and for some reason , no matter how hard she tried , she couldn’t do it . and she was mad at herself for feeling like a failure when she was put under an intense amount of pressure from her father & the prophecy - even called the heir to a throne of nothing because of how no results came from her ceaseless prayers . EVENTUALLY , her powers would reveal themselves . . . but only after the calamity arrived , all of the champions had been downed ( save for link , on the verge of death ) , and all seemed lost . but she would use her power to protect hyrule & keep the calamity contained inside hyrule castle until link would awaken and finish him off .

IN AN ALUCARD NUTSHELL : so zelda . daughter of a preacher ( father ) & a lawyer ( mother , now deceased ) , always expected to be the picture perfect child hence why she never got much of a chance to have a break from endless studying & extra things . she’s always been a straight-a student , has done fencing since she was a child , trilingual in english spanish & mandarin chinese , now a star college student majoring in biology ( her own choice , because she loves science ) and minoring in law ( because her father wants her to be a lawyer like her mother & she uhh hates it ! ) she’s seen as ‘little miss perfect’ because she can do so much and never seems to do any wrong but zelda is uhhh sick of that and is actually now trying to rebel against her father and throw herself into trouble . since lowkey all of this shit is killing her and she wants to breathe freely . she’s trying to do what she wants to do hence why she’s majoring in bio instead of law , working at the local florist instead of taking a law internship , actually trying to pursue a social life outside of the people her dad approves of . that stuff . she’s basically a genius who wants to say ‘fuck u’ to the people telling her what to do and go on her own path and i think that’s sexy .

BUT OHHHHHHHHHH YOU WANNA PLOT WITH ZELDA SO BAD OHHHHHHH

so zelda . given her situation ?? there is so much to work with . lemme spout off these ideas bc i’m so fucking excited .

firstly - people who know about her little miss perfect reputation and either dislike her or are intimidated by her for it . zelda isn’t a snob in the slightest but with someone who does as much as she does it’s only natural to assume she is . but she isn’t , i promise ; she hates that being her epithet .

kind of building off the idea of people knowing abt her whole ‘lmp’ thing - i’d love some folks who actually entertain zelda’s desires to break away from that and take her out to do rebellious shit or something like that !! because zelda wants to get the fuck out she hates it here .

some who encourage her and some who do the opposite - ‘you can do it, don’t be scared’ vs. ‘you really don’t belong here so go back to your books and pencils’

maybe ppl who hold zelda to some sort of pedestal bc of her reputation ?? which is equally as bad to her - she’s lowkey crumbling under all these expectations and she’s amazing but to be seen as someone . . . above other people , she doesn’t like that at all .

also those folks who in any grade of school rly have tried to exploit her need to get good grades & genius to their advantage aka if i pair up with the smart kid we’ll get an a guaranteed . can be anywhere - could’ve been in the past or could be now .

CLASSMATES in general . from elementary , middle school , high school for the past , and now college classmates .

study buddies !! study buddies that zelda either vibes with immensely in terms of how she works or butts heads with them . her way of thinking is both incredibly organized but also all over the place . she can be either very easy or difficult to work with .

gimme some school rivals or equals aka ppl that zelda’s on par with in terms of intellect/grades and either they fucking hate each other or make a pretty good team . maybe both ! put the smart ppl in a room together and see what happens .

also want to clarify this can be on both the bio or law side for any of these college-based connections bc zelda is taking both she’s just . way more passionate about biology than she is law .

OLD FENCING TEAMMATES OR RIVALS PLEASE yes she is still fencing to this day and she’s awesome at it . she’s got a shitton of medals and she actually likes it but it’s another thing that was forced upon her since she was young .

her dad is a local preacher so by nature she’s always expected to be at church so ppl who know her as the preacher’s daughter/from church bc imma keep it real zelda ain’t that enthused abt that religion either but again . once again have to fill father’s expectations . one day tho she’s just gonna stop showing up .

i’d like maybe a social circle who zelda’s father approves of ?? like , friends who zelda has but they’re more so just bc that’s what mr. king wanted . i’d also like a partner/ex-partner to fit this description aka zelda’s not rly that into it or was into it bc it was again . kinda just ‘i’m just dating you bc my dad approves of you’ kinda deal and maybe she tried but overall . didn’t/doesn’t work .

i also , though , like the idea of a social circle who zelda’s father would never approve of and she hangs w/ them bc maybe she likes them or maybe she also just wants to prove a point . maybe she dated someone for this reason too - just the whole spectrum of ‘what dad wants vs. what dad wasn’t’ bc pissing off her dad is kind of a major goal at this point .

so maybe regular customers of the flower shop she works at - she just . zelda rly loves flowers & nature ( and again science as a whole , especially life science hence biology ) and she can go off on so many tangent about flowers please talk to her about flowers . maybe even bring her some flowers too jk unless

i’d rly find it awesome if zelda had some ppl who maybe liked her enough to follow her when she goes out just studying things and listen to her bc she loves to talk about her passions - she likes taking hikes and trips out into nature or the botanical gardens and stuff like that to do studies / experiments of her own . she likes museums , gardens , the outdoors - zelda loves knowledge and learning about things and if someone just kept her company while she did so that’d be awesome .

i’m a sucker for canon parallels with non-canon characters so . maybe a relationship that doesn’t rly have any specificity in what portion of zelda’s life ( school , father approved social circle , father disapproved social circle , night life etc etc ) but mirrors her relationship with link in breath of the wild - for whatever reason , zelda and this other character are around each other very frequently and the beginning for some reason she is very put off by it but then comes around and eventually this muse , they become extremely closer with her and important to her . in any way !! idk if it’s platonic or romantic but , in rps like this that’s lowkey my jam but it works the best with miss zelda

AS ALWAYS - friends ! enemies ! former crushes ! exes ! gimme anything and all !! the princess of hyrule is AT YOUR SERVICE and i’m so excited to write her . i love her .

and now . . . onto leon’s intro i hopefully go .

Is IV's name pronounced four or "eye-vee"? And when are you going to tell us more about the story? I've been waiting patiently for an update and then I remembered asks are a thing! I'm so curious about the other co-leader. :3c

yup, its “eye-vee”! :D like an iv drip! (she originally had a hospital theme!) AND AH?! OMG..... i didnt think anyone would be interested in her story..!!!! fncncnmc! thank u for being interested...!!! ill tell u some of her story!;///; its kind of long, sorry!! >.<;;

the cult IV co-leads is dedicated to the goddess of Order! in this universe/world, there are multiple gods! Order is a weaker, lesser known god. the amount of worshippers they have is directly linked to how powerful a god is :o the most powerful trio are the goddesses of life and death, and the god of fortune!

Order, IV and the other co-leader, whos only known as “the messenger” are aggressively and actively recruiting new members, because the goddess is planning a coup against the more powerful, well-known gods, bcus many constantly play favorites and intervene with humans lives, giving blessings to their favorite humans and letting them do as they please w/o consequences (the goddess of Life and god of fortune are the biggest offenders, theyll give out their blessings willy nilly....). it makes Order very mad to see that, but she cant do anything unless she becomes more powerful so...!! shes aware its hypocritical, but its for a “good” cause, so she also starts to secretly intervene in peoples lives to sway them into joining her cult and spreading her word and converting others! ((she also secretly resurrects ppl who died sudden and cruel/unfair deaths to strong arm them into serving her in exchange for a second chance at life to settle loose ends but we dont talk abt that aha—))

IV is more devoted to spreading the cults message thru The Internet! shes tech-saavy, knows how to program and code stuff (they made the cults website and answers emails lol), and visits all sorts of sites and forums and such to leave links to the website, and spread awareness abt the cult! but she is also in charge of inner workings, like keeping members motivated during sermons, leading said sermons, and talking w other important members abt progress and interested ppl who wanna join! shes got terrible social skills after being a shut-in that loved to get into fights online For Years, but they can be very charismatic and passionate when talking abt the goddess and her mission to restore order to the worlds! (only she and the messenger know Orders true intentions for accumulating so many worshippers, and support her wholeheartedly)) the goddess rly likes her passion, enough to have promoted her to co-leader so quickly after joining the cult!

and now..... about the other leader!! 👀

no one... really knows much about her!!!! she only goes by “the messenger” and is usually away from the church HQ, travelling all over the place to personally spread the cults message! shes a very mysterious person who always hides behind a dark veil, no one but the goddess knows her real name or about her past life before she joined the cult! shes been a member, and leader, for a very long time.... likely since the beginning of Orders plan to stage a coup... but ill let u in on lil info abt her!! shes in her late 40s, russian, and was a rising political figure before she met the goddess of Order, was so awed by her that she faked her death to dedicate her life instead to serving the goddess! ((both co-leaders r lesbians that fell in love w a goddess n swear their lives to her.... this wasnt on purpose but its so funny to me))

also she and IV do NOT get along. they’re constantly on the verge of attacking each other fnfjfjcn similar personalities that clash...... but begrudgingly set aside their hatred of each other differences to make sure Order can achieve her goal of overthrowing the other gods!

also uhm. there is kind of an ending for this story............. it does... not go well. the messenger makes a very fatal mistake a while after IV joins, that ends up totally exposing Orders coup plan to the other gods....... and..... yyyeah. ends badly. i dont wanna go into details cus then ill have to explain a DIFFERENT but closely-related and equally long story fjfjfnc

thank you for askign about my ocs and reading this far!!!! it honestly means so so much to me to get questions abt my ocs and stories!!! ;///; i lov u!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#asks #puff.txt #oc tag #sorry again that its so long...!! i ry choped it down short cus theres a Lot to this story #but its too much info so this is just a rly simple sumamrg/rundown!! >.<#i ahve other ocs also involved IN the cult along w other ocs involved w the other gods!#also even MORE ocs who end up directly and indirectly involved by the failed coup and the messengers mistake....#i have so mmay ocs. and so much free time. oh my god.

Can u do all the odd fic questions on that ask post for perdition? Or really any of ur other fics, I just like hearing abt this kind of stuff

FYI THIS IS VERY LONG I APOLOGIZE

I’m putting most of it under the cut because I don’t want to clog up all the dashes…

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

What a question. I’ve answered something similar to this, mainly the question: What was your inspiration in writing this fic? And I’ve been pretty open about that, generally. (If you’re interested, there are a few longer posts about that and some other insights into my thought process linked here: x x x x x x )

But essentially, I wrote this fic because at the time I was going through a sort of similar situation to Chloe. I was kind of seeing this girl who had a boyfriend… it’s a pretty long and complicated story that I won’t go into for privacy’s sake (both hers and mine). But it wasn’t my finest hour, and definitely not something I’m proud of. So anyway, things had just ended with this girl and I was trying to work through some feelings that I had about it (a lot of anger and confusion and a little heartbreak, mostly), and I was looking for a character/pairing to write this specific situation for, and Bechloe kind of just… came to me. Like it just fell into my lap. And it made more sense than anything else, and when I started writing it just… poured out of me. Like I wrote the first four chapters in a feverish two days where I basically couldn’t stop typing.

But I’ve gotten a lot of questions about why I chose to write the fic the way I did. The question I get most often is basically, why did I write the fic from Chloe’s POV exclusively? Especially during the early days of Perdition, before I wrote the Beca interlude chapter, I had a LOT of people who were practically begging me for Beca’s POV, for her side of the story, for some explanation as to WHY she was doing what she was doing. And I was really hesitant to do that, because I was hesitant to break from the fixed person, singular POV. And I want to explain why. I know I have before, but I want to do it again.

I wanted to write Perdition from exclusively Chloe’s POV because I wanted the story to really focus on her emotions and her involvement in the affair. I feel like so many cheating stories are from the POV of the cheater, or the person being cheated on, and rarely on the ramifications felt by the person who’s being cheated with. I wanted to explore that dynamic.

But I also really wanted to focus on Chloe as a person and as a character. I felt drawn to her as a character partly because we know so little about her in the movies. Beca is the main character, the audience’s established perspective, so we know a lot about her and how she thinks and operates. Because Chloe was basically a blank slate, I felt like I could dig deeper into her character and imagine a lot more backstory for her. I wanted to explore her as a character, and as a writer I felt like she really offered more opportunities than Beca.

I eventually wrote the Beca POV chapter because I really wanted to make sure that both Beca and Chloe were sympathetic characters. I wanted to emphasize the fact that Chloe was providing just one perspective of the affair, and because of that, she was somewhat of an unreliable narrator. I wanted to emphasize that there were two sides to every story, and just because we’ve only seen Chloe’s side of things doesn’t mean that she’s blameless or that she’s completely right and has done nothing wrong. Though I wanted to focus on her/explore her journey, I didn’t want readers to think of her as a faultless victim. (I was also getting a lot of comments criticizing Beca’s character for being heartless/cruel, and I didn’t think that that was the case. I thought their situation was messy and confusing and hard on both of them, and I didn’t want people to think I was using her as a scapegoat to just like… assassinate her character.)

In my mind, no character is perfect. There’s no such thing as a black-and-white situation. No one is inherently good or bad. They’re just people, who make good and bad choices, who make mistakes, who let things get out of hand. I really wanted to be clear on that. So I ended up breaking with my plan and writing the interlude chapter. I think, in the end, I’m glad that I did.

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

Good Lord. This fic is so long… There are so many lines I like. How do I even pick?

I have a couple favorite lines of narration. These are just some of them (unsurprisingly, a lot of them are chapter summaries):

From Chapter 1:

(Earlier in the night Chloe stumbled over to Beca on swaying feet, grabbed her hands, and proclaimed that they were going to be “fast friends,” and Beca laughed and winked at her and made some joke about being naked and Chloe felt her stomach bottom out so suddenly that she wondered if she was tipping over backwards.)

From Chapter 4:

Fat Amy showing her vag to the leader of the Free World is not exactly how Chloe envisioned starting her year.

From Chapter 6:

But when she’s on that stage, performing for all those people… when she starts to sing that song, especially in the wake of their fight… something grips her. She feels this pull, this swell of romantic energy like she’s in the midst of a goddamn fairytale, and then she just…

Well, does she have any choice in the matter, really?

(He’s the acapella boy and she’s the acapella girl. This is their story.)

From Chapter 6:

She tries to say everything in that kiss that she’s never had the courage to say. I’ve missed you and I love you and I’m willing to try and I’m sorry and I don’t deserve you and Please just wait for me a little longer.

From Chapter 7:

The summer heat is oppressive in North Carolina. Thick air that feels like soup; slogging days of unendurable murky, foggy, wet waves. When it isn’t raining, the sun beats down against the tops of heads and the backs of necks, cooking cars and superheating pavement, scorching the flesh of bare feet that slap against the ground. The smell of freshly mown grass, new mulch, and — further towards to coast — salt spray permeates everything. Sun screen and bug spray make skin sticky; mosquitos flock from person to person in droves, only driven away by rare and brief breezes off the water. The air feels stagnant and heavy, the days endlessly long.

From Chapter 10:

Beca’s music has always so upbeat, so lively, so full of joy and energy and reckless abandon, all about pounding bass notes and soaring vocals, all about mixing together as many songs as possible until the artistry verges just on the hint of chaos.

From Chapter 11:

She bared herself to the entire world. She exposed every bit of her dirty laundry to millions and millions of people for them to look at, pick through, and analyze. She did the one thing she hates most in the world to prove to Chloe that she can, that she wants to, that she can be a new person, that she’s changed, that secrets and lies are all things in her past, and her future is an open book.

Of course. It’s for her. It’s always been for her.

From Chapter 12:

They’ve been together for a year, Chloe’s been living in LA for eight months, and for the past two months or so she’s taken up a near-permanent residence in Beca’s home. She already owns half of the shoe space, half of the space in the bathroom cabinet, and half of the drawers in Beca’s dresser. Her keys have a permanent spot by the door, her soy milk a permanent spot in Beca’s fridge. Her work schedule is stuck on the wall next to Beca’s calendar. Beca’s Netflix queue is full of Chloe’s favorite shows, Chloe’s favorite movies. All but Chloe’s least-favorite outfits have migrated to Beca’s closet, and all of the books she’s currently reading have found a place on Beca’s bedside table.

5: What part was hardest to write?

The hardest part to write were the years where Beca and Chloe didn’t talk. There were whole chapters that just dealt with Chloe and her depression, or Chloe and her inner monologue, or Chloe and her new life in Denver, or Chloe and her love life sans Beca. And those chapters were hard to write. I was really worried they would be boring, or that they would turn off readers, or that people wouldn’t respond well to Chloe dating other people, or that people wouldn’t like the inclusion of original characters, or that people would get annoyed with how they dragged on, or that people would object to the distinct lack of Beca for so much of the story.

But I really felt those chapters were necessary, because I really felt that Chloe had to learn for herself and grow and get better on her own before she and Beca could reconcile. I believed that, in order for Beca and Chloe to truly be together in a healthy way, they had to become healthy on their own. They couldn’t just be together because they fell together, but because they chose to be together. I wanted them to fight for each other, to realize that they weren’t using each other as an emotional crutch or a way to avoid dealing with the problems in their lives, but to realize that they actually helped each other, that each made the other stronger. So despite the fact that those chapters were really hard to write, I’m really glad that I did write them.

7: Where did the title come from?

This may be embarrassing to admit, but I actually have an entire document just of fic titles/small little ideas/summaries/exchanges of dialogue. So the title Perdition had been sitting around in my mind for a while, way before I even got the idea for the story. I was just waiting for the perfect fic to use it on. (I’m kinda obsessed with pretentious titles, if you guys haven’t noticed.)

As I explained in the summary for the story, “perdition” is a word that comes from Christian theology, and it means: “a state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unpenitent person passes after death.” And I liked that; this idea that both Beca and Chloe understood that what they were doing was entirely wrong and unjust and, if you subscribe to that sort of belief system, “sinful”, but that neither of them really cared. They continued on with their affair with (seemingly) unrepentant, reckless abandon. I thought it summed up the themes of the story nicely. The beginning of the story, at least. The set up for the dramatic arc.

9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

While I knew how the fic was going to end when I started writing it (generally, at least, I knew that Beca and Chloe were going to end up together, and the Grammys acceptance speech was actually like the 5th scene I wrote), it still went through a lot of different drafts. In an early version of the story, Jesse was the one to walk in on Beca and Chloe mid-sexual encounter, but I ended up really hating what the scene said and how it treated Jesse as a character (and the fact that it took away Beca’s agency by denying her the chance to confess), so I got rid of that quickly.

Originally, Emily played a much smaller role in the story. But I liked her as a naïve sort of foil to Beca + Chloe; I liked her optimism and her almost-hero-worship of the two of them; and I liked being able to build a mentor-mentee relationship between Beca and Emily. So she ended up playing a bigger role in the story than originally intended.

In the original draft of the story, there were much fewer chapters. I think originally I only planned on having 6 (4 years of Beca + Chloe’s affair, 1 year apart, and then the chapter where they get back together), but I’ve never been very good at keeping my writing succinct. It just kept growing and growing and by the end I doubled the chapter count. But it felt right to me. All of the additions felt necessary. In the end, I don’t mind the length, because I told the story I wanted to tell.

Raquel was also a pretty late addition to the fic. I toyed a lot with the idea of having Chloe only go on a few unfulfilling dates with men during her time apart from Beca, because a part of me liked the idea of having Beca be her only female long-term romantic partner. But then it felt like I was trying to erase the bisexuality I had established for Chloe early on, so I wrote her a girlfriend. And then I ended up REALLY liking Raquel, so I gave her more and more to do, and I made their relationship stronger and stronger.

Originally, I wanted Chloe to be dating someone when she started having romantic feelings for Beca again, and then realize that she’d only ever really loved Beca etc. etc. etc., but in the end I didn’t like what that did to the story. It felt too much like the beginning, like Chloe hadn’t grown enough as a character. And besides, that’s just not realistic. Very few people have like… ONE true love. And in the end, I wanted Beca and Chloe to choose to be together, like I said. I wanted to have the possibility for other partners, the possibility for happiness elsewhere, and then have them decide to be together anyway. Because they wanted to, because that’s what felt right. So I felt like it was really important to build up their friendship again from the ground up. They couldn’t just leap into romance again after so long and after everything they went through. They needed a strong foundation first. And to have Beca see Chloe happy in a relationship, happy without her… I thought it was important for them to both know that it was possible.

11: What do you like best about this fic?

There are a LOT of things I like about this fic. I like its perspective, I like what it says. I like that it’s almost entirely from Chloe’s POV. I like that it’s a character study more than anything (which is something I’d never previously done). I like that it’s really long (and that I ACTUALLY FINISHED IT which didn’t seem likely for a while). I like that it takes its time, that it really builds to a natural conclusion, that it doesn’t feel rushed or hurried, that there’s a payoff that feels earned. I like all of that stuff.

But what I like most is the impact it’s had. I have gotten such extraordinary feedback from this story, things you guys wouldn’t believe. Not just comments and asks, but individual messages from people who have reached out to me and told me what reading Perdition meant to them. And that’s… I never expected that. It was just supposed to be a sexy little romp, something for me to work out my own feelings and practice writing some smut, and then it turned into this… behemoth of a story that SO many people read and responded to. And I never really anticipated that. But I’m SO glad that I wrote it. And I’m so glad so many of you liked it.

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

People have asked me this question a lot! And I definitely did have a Perdition playlist or two going while I was writing it. It’s funny to look back on that music now, because it’s from like over a year ago and I don’t listen to those playlists often anymore, but I’ll link them below if people are interested:

https://morningsound15.tumblr.com/tagged/perdition-playlist

(tagged/perdition-playlist)

15: What did you learn from writing this fic?

What a question. And a hard one to answer. I think anytime with writing, you end up learning a lot. About yourself, about your characters, about your own personal style. I do believe that writing this story really made my overall writing stronger. The fact that I was able to finish it and give people the ending they wanted was also huge for me, since most of my other really long stories are still unfinished.

I’m not 100% sure what I learned from writing this. I think I’m still learning. Every time I go back and reread it (and I did go back and reread most of it to answer these questions) I feel like I draw something new from the story. And every time I answer questions about it I feel like I understand my writing in ways I never have before.

( josefine frida pettersen ✧ she/her ✧ cis female ) ☾°:･ﾟ✧ it seems that sixth year daisy hookum has been studying restlessly. the sixteen year old ravenclaw is known to be insightful and pragmatic, but can also be acquiescent and self-sacrificing. they are known to have aligned with neutral.

supp its bee again with my other child, bringing u this Recycled Ass Intro for daisy !!

im gonna tell u All About my daughter daisy hookum so strap in folks !! we’re gonna start with daisy’s family

so her family is like …… halfblood technically but Mostly pureblood so they’re kind of on the edges of pureblood society like, in the outer circle

but her parents want to properly be a part of pureblood society so they kinda drag daisy around to different snooty events & she just kinda goes with it ?? she thinks its all ridiculous but she’s like why not

like she is more realistic & down to earth than her parents and knows they aren’t fancy enough or wealthy enough or “”””pure”””” enough to really count for anything but like ,,, she humours them

tw: death — she had a brother who was quite a bit older then her and he died when he was 15 and daisy was 3. she doesn’t really remember him at all but she gets the feeling her parents kind of look at her and expect to see him

and she kinda wonders sometimes if he’d be better at this whole pureblood (TM) thing than her? like she doesnt stay up at night crying abt it or anything lmao cause it did happen like .. 14 yrs ago … but there’s just a shadow of a Guilt Complex so that’s part of the reason she just kinda goes along with her parents

daisy is very much the Girl Next Door – p quiet, p unassuming, is never really the centre of attention and likes it that way

she isn’t shy, but she’s an introvert & values her time alone – but also she loves her friends a Lot so jot that down real quick

she’s got a dry kind of self-deprecating sense of humour and is often sarcastic but in like a really subtle way where people don’t realize she’s being sarcastic

she’s kinda used to being the sidekick at this point like ?? she really doesn’t think she’s anything special and she’s always the one listening to her friends’ wild stories or patiently taking care of them when they’re drunk

she keeps it Real, sometimes bordering on the verge of cynicism. she’s the friend who’ll tell you very kindly & gently that no, johnny is most likely not your soulmate, so no, you should not get matching tattoos

that being said, if you really really are determined to get matching tattoos with johnny, she’ll probably just shrug and go along with it

not the best at confrontation ( read: kind of a pushover )

like she doesn’t really speak up when she disagrees with something or when she’s upset about something, she kinda just keeps it all internal and Deals With It cause she can’t be bothered to make a fuss about it

her parents are like the kind of parents who are like “excuse me my daughter asked for no mustard” and she’s the kinda girl who’s like “mooommm stop its fine” even tho she hates mustard

doesnt want to inconvenience people

she would give up her whole self for the people she loves like its an actual problem, it’ll be 11 pm and she’ll have 2 tests tomorrow but if you’re like “daisy im feeling sad” she’ll drop everything and be there for u

she was sorted into ravenclaw because even though she’s really quiet, she LOVES learning and she thinks a lot

she wonders a lot about the purpose of life & everything and is there one or do you have to find one and does it even matter

also idk likes just having philosophical arguments with herself in her head abt whether or not humanity is inherently good or evil or neutral

she works hard in class because she kinda feels like that’s what her parents expect but also because she’s really interested in everything she’s learning!!!

her favourite class is probably muggle studies like she’s just so interested in learning about how different people live and everything …… her parents kind of don’t approve but it’s an easy o sO

if hogwarts offered a psychology class she would be all over that bc she’s really interested in what makes people tick and act the way they do

uuhhhm yeah that’s .., , about it i think ?? pls love her down and plot w me

#expell: intro #( ooc. )

「 dacre montgomery. cismale. he/him. 」 — is that EMMETT CULLEN i just saw in forks? i swear i heard WORK SONG by HOZIER blasting from their headphones, but i could be mistaken. they’re pretty RESILIENT from what i know, but i’ve heard a rumour that they can be FACETIOUS too. they kinda remind me of THE THUNDEROUS ROAR OF AN ENRAGED GRIZZLY BEAR, ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERING DURING A SPORTS GAME, BOYISH CHARM AMPLIFIED BY A ROGUISH SMIRK.

“ ’bout time somebody scored around here ! ” introducing : emmett mccarty cullen. 104. vampire. bonafide bear hunter. ludicrous strongman.

ok so uhhh emmett was born in 1915, the youngest of several brothers but also had one younger sister, and he grew up in a small town in tennesse. when he was old enough, em worked as a hunter and a woodsman with his brothers, and also got into his overly fair share of trouble. his parents considered him to be wild bc he liked to drink, gamble, and flirt with all the ladies, but he was just enjoying life; an impulsive, carefree spirit.

his impulsive, carefree spirit got him into a little trouble, though, resulting in his tragic near-death experience. out hunting on his own one day, as he did quite regularly to bring home the bacon ((so to speak)), emmett came face to face with a black bear and her cubs. the hunter turned into the hunted. obviously, there was no way he could defuse the situation and mama bear attacked, savagely mauling him. it would have resulted in his death, had rosalie not miraculously stumbled upon the scene.

an angel. his angel. his family hadn’t been strictly religious, but it was in their household, and emmett truly believes rosalie was a guardian of some sort, sent from above to give him a second chance. he claims to have fallen in love with her at first sight, she was like a dream during his daze from blood loss and on the verge of death. if she hadn’t carried him over a hundred miles and if carlisle hadn’t turned emmett, he would have undoubtedly been in the ground, and for that, he basically worshipped the two, comparing them to an angel and god.

although his transformation was painful and it was explained to him that he could never return to the life he knew, emmett wasn’t upset over being turned into a vampire. of course, he still cared deeply for his human family, and arranged to deliver a large sum of money to their doorstep in hopes of easing their pain over losing him. it wasn’t difficult for him to accept his new family, the cullens, but after tasting human blood, it did initially prove to be difficult for him to adjust to the vegetarian lifestyle the cullens strictly followed. they had to move around quite a bit because of his slip-ups, but he was able to control himself overtime fortunately.

reasonably so, he has this wildly passionate hate towards bears bc of what the one black bear did to him. thus one of his favourite hobbies is hunting them, and wrestling them around before the kill like a cat plays with a mouse. hc: he keeps a small notebook with pages and pages of tallies representing how many times he’s fought a bear and just one lonely mark on the very first page for the bear that almost killed him sdafhgk

oK wow enough abt what everyone already knows. for verses, i’m obviously 120% down to write classic og twilight (( especially bc i just binged the movies again on netflix lmao )), but i’m also super interested in: harry potter bc who doesn’t love harry potter (( emmett’s a gryffindor don’t @ me )). i’d also love to do some sort of old western verse ? mostly bc of red dead redemption and my love for arthur & sadie & john but also bc the idea of emmett as an outlaw / cowpoke has me dead. possibly dare i say .... an apocalypse verse ; i love zombies / infected freaks and i’ll always love them ft. Angsty Drama. i would LOVE to write some kind of slasher film verse ? like inspired by scream or friday the 13th (( or until dawn for u video game players )) idk i think that’d be pretty fun & fresh. and that’s all i can come up with right now bc i’m Tired™, but i’m definitely open to other verses that y’all might want to write !!

#( ✨ ) // : 𝙀𝙈𝙈𝙀𝙏𝙏 𝘾𝙐𝙇𝙇𝙀𝙉. ▻ intro.#bornintro #yikes this is ... awful but uhhh #lets plot !!#pls :~)

ok so i’m gonna write a tiny lil’ really frickin’ long intro for lennon just so her backstory is out there for u guys to look at ! she’s exactly the same as cristina personality wise, though without the mild sentimental connection to the santos family, so ig she’s .. .. a lil worse , oops. if u had a connection w cris & want to keep it, just lmk ! & ofc if u’d like to plot something new with lennon like this & i’ll mssg u !

ok so ! a lil personality first for a reminder: lennon is a super sweet gal who seems, at first glance, entirely selfless. whilst working as a waitress she goes out of her way to cover shifts, give people extra coffee, and generally provide the best service with a smile you’ll find in the states. she seems as if she’s just stepped out of a disney film, with sparkling eyes and a laugh that seems warm and reassuring. lennon is, generally, the kind of friend you want to have, always willing to lend a shoulder to cry on and always willing to lend u that cute top she wore to that party last week . . . hA H AH SIKE ! bc we all know she’s cristina 2.0 and cristina would’ve sold half her family for a corn chip. lennon only cares about number one, herself, and is something of a sadist when it comes to emotional manipulation. she has carefully cultivated the perfect girl next door image and would kill to protect it, mainly bc without it ? she’s not having any fun. she takes nothing seriously, not even the most dire of situations, and is genuinely ? here 2 have a good time , so don’t kill her vibe ig .

trigger warnings for the bio: addiction, suicide, murder, violence, faking eating disorders, nd generally being a frickin awful, disgusting human being.

lennon knows nothing about her birth parents except the fact they were, or at least her mother was, addicted to heroin. she was born with neonatal abstinence syndrome, meaning she was practically addicted to heroin as soon as she left the womb, leaving her to be weaned off of it in the hospital, her parents taking that chance to abandon her.

her addiction was so severe she was kept in the hospital for months, unable to be given up for adoption or placed into the foster system due to her constant need for care and observation. eventually, at about five months, she was released into the care of a local home that specifically looked after NAS babies. her recovery was long, the first two years of her life being wracked with constant screaming, whining, and general clinginess, but eventually she stopped. her carers believed she’d simply grown out of it, but even as a child lennon began to form a detachment from the world around her.

she, like many other kids who were failed by the american care system, was repeatedly bounced around from home to home, despite being an incredibly well-behaved kid. it just seemed as if no one wanted her, seemed as if the world had chosen to turn its back on her before her life had even begun. again, the girl’s hatred for the world grew, hands itching with a violence she didn’t quite understand.

when she was thirteen, she was finally adopted, though by then it was far too late to save lennon from the path she’d chosen for herself. despite being all smiles and sugar cookies when she first arrived, her only thoughts were of death. not always experiencing it, but sometimes causing it, and 99% of the time those scenarios involved her adoptive parents.

she lived with them for five years, but spent those five years sowing seeds of distrust and self-hatred in, not only their minds, but everyone else’s who came across her. she manipulated her parents into believing they were doing a terrible job, though always reassured them that they were wonderful. she threw herself against walls and pulled out her own hair and then told her parents she was being severely bullied. at school, she sat in the toilet playing games on phone, making retching noises to act as if she were purposely purging. she convinced everyone around her that she was miserable without ever saying a word, and their guilt began to eat away at them. ( like literally whenever ppl asked she’d be like i’m fine nd like .. . cry to make them stop asking her , manipulative binch )

anYWAYS , eventually she got a boyfriend and that was really when the idea started to become real. this guy was the type who believed he could save her, so in response, she began to mess with him. she left him notes around his room in his handwriting, sent his friends terrible messages, and dropped an anonymous note to his incredibly religious parents one day saying he’d been smoking pot. when he rang her on the verge of tears, believing lennon was the only one he had left, she made her suggestion. it was risky, but the adrenaline rush, the only thing lennon ever seemed to feel, was too much to deny. she thought she’d messed it up when he didn’t reply, she went to sleep that night thinking she’d been found out and that her ruse was over... but it wasn’t. when she woke the next morning her ‘mom’ sat her down and told her the terrible news. he’d killed himself.

whilst lennon continued doing this to two of her other friends, she managed to push her parents into divorcing, despite the fact they’d been so desperately in love before. they both decided soon afterward they couldn’t live without each other and, with one last kick from lennon who knew the only thing keeping them alive was her, she convinced them to also commit suicide by saying she was moving away after graduation and never coming back.

now eighteen, she left her town without so much as a goodbye to the people in it. people simply thought she was a poor girl in mourning, not being able to bear living in the town that took all her beloveds from her, when in reality she knew it was easier to remain hidden if you stayed on the move.

for three years lennon travelled from place to place, manipulating people into loving her and worshipping her, then watching as they lost everything. to this day, none of the deaths lennon has caused have been by her own hand, though that’s not to say she isn’t capable of murder. mistaking the girl for anything but a mindless sociopath would be a dangerous decision, one many admittedly make. she’s joined the a team for no reason besides being able to inflict misery on others. she has no one to protect, no one for a to use against her, and no one to worry about. all she cares abt is upholding her image, and she’ll do whatever it takes to do it.

#⟨ mike! i found the chocolate pudding! ⟩ ╎ ooc.#honestmeme .#when i first sat down to write this it was gonna be short as heck but . ..#u all know i like 2 ramble ( :#bUT ye plot w her she's cute i promise ha . ha .#i thought i'd posted this but apparently . i didn't . iconic

Chapter 37 - Epilogue

Alyse gave Irgen a really quick explanation of where they had landed and how that mystical hurricane took them to the Qing dynasty while the three women changed into the dry clothes in their backpacks. Irgen was half a head taller than Alyse and would look ridiculous in her cargo pants, so Alyse gave her a pair of chino shorts instead. Irgen felt so naked and inappropriate even though her lover kept telling her it was a crime to hide those nice long legs. Alyse also told Irgen that she lied about Joseon and they were actually from a sunny island called Singapore.

The cousins did not want to stay another minute longer in that chamber, in case the hurricane were to appear and send them back to the burning room again, or anywhere else in Qing dynasty. Thus they quickly took out their phones and took pictures of the chamber, especially the statue and its bangle, and got out of it. Irgen was in awe staring at the bursts of light coming out of the small rectangular thing in their hands.

It was a long and grueling walk from the cave back to the resort on foot but fortunately Joe found them midway. The cousins had been missing for fourteen days and since their disappearance, Joe had engaged two villagers to help in the search and rescue. They had already canvassed the whole island twice and Joe was on the verge of losing hope. When he saw the three women emerging from a row of ceiba trees, specifically his dear wife Grace, he was so ecstatic he nearly pushed the both of them onto the ground when he dashed over to hug her.

In the next few weeks, the lot of them returned to Singapore; Alyse knew a guy who knew a guy in Thailand who managed to get Irgen a Thai passport realistic enough to fool Singapore custom. Joe took Grace on a romantic short trip to Tokyo in order to recover from Thailand, Alyse reported back to work to put all the company projects back on track again, and Irgen got a job as a personal trainer in a luxurious gym.

And now Alyse gazed at the woman sleeping next to her on the extravagantly comfortable queen size bed in her room, listening to her slow and shallow breathing. In the end, she did not find any treasure in Nara’s tomb. The treasure itself could still be hidden somewhere in the forest on that island, but it did not matter to Alyse anymore. She had already found her treasure. And this treasure had started to open her sluggish umber eyes.

“Morning, Lead Lady Guard.” Alyse leant in to place a tender kiss on Irgen’s lips. “How unbecoming of you to wake up later than sunrise!”

“Urghhhh… it’s not my fault…” Irgen groaned and wrapped her hand around Alyse’s waist languidly. “The bed and pillow in your time is too comfortable! How do you people even leave the bed every morning?”

“That’s because we have something called the alarm clock.” “That’s the thing I hate most in your time.”

“By the way, I’ve been wanting to ask you…” Alyse moved her head away from her down pillow to Irgen’s shoulder. “When you said you’ve wanted to give me the jade bangle earlier, were you planning to propose to me?”

“Hmm… Yes.” Irgen nodded her head. “But I guess it’s not a question anymore since you’ve already accepted my proposal.”

“Since when?!” Alyse stared at Irgen with her big black eyes.

“When you took the bangle, my little Aili.” Irgen’s lips curled up into a smug grin.

“Wait! That’s not fair! I was using it to save our lives!” Alyse squinted at her lover now.

“And you still have the bangle.”

“Pffft. You can have it back if you want.”

“Nope. Like what the people in your time would say, once broken considered sold. The bangle has your blood all over it now.” Irgen flinched her nose dramatically.

“Excuse me, I’ve already cleaned it!” Alyse huffed. “And stop calling me little. We still don’t know who is older here.”

“Well, how old are you then?” Irgen quirked a brow. “I’m thirty-one.”

“Ha! I’m one year older than you!” It was Alyse’s turn to have that smug grin.

“Wrong! Since I’m from the Qing dynasty Xianfeng period, technically I’m…” Irgen murmured to herself as she counted. “A hundred and eighty-seven years old! You can’t beat that, my little Aili.”

“Well, in that case you should continue sleeping, Grandma Irgen, while I go have breakfast with Grace and Joe.” Alyse made a face at Irgen and got out of bed.

“Breakfast? Are there half-boiled eggs?” Irgen shouted, still lazing on the bed.

To Irgen’s disappointment, there was no half-boiled eggs in the English brunch they were having at the posh and serene cafe on Dempsey Hill. But there was Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and she did not mind the poached egg for a change.

“I still can’t believe that it was only fourteen days when we spent like months in the Qing dynasty.” Grace said as she took a bite of her french toast.

“Those fourteen days sure felt like months to me, dear.” Joe looked at his wife with his furrowed brows.

“I’m just glad to be out of that place and time.”

“All thanks to Irgen’s aunt’s bangle.” Alyse added and Irgen just nodded with her mouth full of poached egg.

“Why did your aunt have a time-travel bangle anyway, Irgen?” That was something that Grace had wanted to ask since they were back.

“I don’t know, because I was not close to her.” Irgen took a sip of spearmint tea and swallowed the remaining food in her mouth. “But she was a Han Chinese and I do know she joined Quanzhen School since young to learn neidanshu. Some kind of alchemy, I think. So she actually left a couple of other items with inscriptions too, not just this jade bangle.”

“But why did that bangle appear on Nara’s stone statue then?” This was the other thing that had been bugging Grace.

“That is something Irgen and I have been trying to find out since we were back, but I couldn’t find anything in history to explain that.” Alyse shook her head in defeat.

“Maybe my dead aunt made that bangle appear on Nara’s statue so that Aili could come to the Qing dynasty to meet me!” Irgen gave Alyse a suggestive wink and Grace just groaned.

“However I found more information while doing the research.” Alyse added as she took a bite of her croissant. “Apparently Nara was exiled because she killed the emperor’s beloved Imperial... Concubine... Xi.” And she flashed Grace a smirk.

“They didn’t even mention the Lead Lady Guard who also died in the fire.” Irgen grumbled as she popped a piece of smoked salmon into her mouth.

“Wow. I guess that emperor really liked that concubine huh.” Joe commented and Grace instantly choked on her coffee. Joe quickly poured a glass of water for her. “And my poor Grace had to be an attendant there.”

“Oh she could have been way more than an attendant if we survived that fire and stayed longer.” Alyse commented, earning a death glare from her cousin. A few seconds later, her mobile phone buzzed. It was a message from Grace.

“if u ever tell Joe abt Wichu, I’ll tell Irgen abt that lady guard in Xinjiang camp and how we escaped!!!!”

“ok u win! what happens in q dyn stays in q dyn!”

“So that emperor put her and some other prisoners onto a ship and let it sailed to some random island far far away, and that was why she ended up in the deserted island Koh Rayang Nai.” Alyse continued to share the information she found. “Those prisoners were the first inhabitants of that island.”

“I suppose Nara must have guided them to turn the island into an hospitable home. She was a smart woman after all.” Grace deduced from the information. She had always admired Nara for her intelligence and keen observance. She believed the woman could have achieved so much in the imperial harem if she did not allow her own ambitious mind to destroy her.

“Well, I still consider this expedition a success. In fact, a huge success. We got to experience a rare adventure and survived it, and I got the treasure.” Alyse grasped Irgen’s hand and kissed the back of it while gazing at Irgen.

“We should’ve at least grabbed the teapot and cups when we left though. And sell them to the auction houses and earn a small fortune.” Grace lamented.

“We could’ve gotten a new car! Maybe even a new condominium!” Joe gasped.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Joe. But an attendant’s teapot may only fetch you a few hundred dollars at most. Grace should’ve asked the emperor for a bangle.” Alyse chuckled but immediately turned into a yelp when her cousin kicked her under the table.

“Anyway, I’ve enough of China history. No offence, Irgen.” Grace sipped on her coffee nonchalantly.

“None taken. I’m a Thai citizen applying for Singapore PR now.” Irgen smiled.

“Don’t worry, Grace. I don’t have any plan to explore any Chinese tomb for now. But have you heard of the Lost Imperial Fabergé eggs?” Alyse grinned as she opened up a new journal on the table. A journal already filled with article cutouts written in Russian.
