OMG I’m so excited for this!!! Can I request Vil with the prompt rainy nights?? Can it be fluffy and romantic? Anyway I hope you have a wonderful day!! :)

Rainy Nights; Vil Schoenheit

Content; Fluff, gender-neutral reader, established romantic relationship

Content Warning; Reader cries because of a movie, death (movie)

Word Count; 700+

Author's Note; I had a vision; watching old movies with Vil as the rain came down. I had a lot of fun writing this, and this is also my first solo Vil piece, so I hope I did him justice here.

As a reminder, do not put my work — or others for that matter — into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist

You were rummaging around the TV console, going through the numerous DVDs and VHS tapes that were just sitting around and collecting dust. Tonight was your night for movie night, as yesterday was Vil’s, so you were weighing your options. Sure, there were streaming services, but there’s just something that hits differently with a physical copy, flaws and all. Plus it’s not like you could go out since it was raining like no tomorrow outside. So, movie night.

“Having any luck,” Vil gently called from the washroom, still doing his nightly routine.

Your eyes still scoured the various cases, trying to find the perfect one. “Not yet. Just give me a minute, m’kay?”

Vil gave you a hum as an answer, leaving you be.

Horror movie? No, he wouldn’t like that. Mystery? Too predictable… And then you found what looked like the most faded cases, colour worn away from age and a hand going back time and time again. That one.

Pulling it out, you dusted off the case, inspecting the title. Of the smudged-out words, you could make out The, some kind of smudged-out word, Blossom. It looked like a black-and-white movie, and on the front were the protagonists with their backs together, flower petals surrounding them, and a dagger above them. This, this is perfect.

Vil came out of the washroom, wearing his matching royal purple pyjamas and house robe, and glowing from the various skin products that he used. He looked curiously over your shoulder. “Hmm, The Bitter Blossom,” he mused, turning his gaze to you. “Is that your pick, Schatz?” His tone was light, a sign that he approved, and was mildly surprised at your pick.

“Mhm,” you hummed, placing the VHS tape into the VCR player. Whoever had played it last had saved you the trouble of rewinding it. “Have you watched it before?”

“Surprisingly, no. Copies of it are extremely hard to come by.” He got the sofa ready, adjusting the pillows, grabbing one of the many quilts, and a box of tissues, just in case. He noticed the look you were giving him, “I haven’t watched it, but I have heard about how it ends.”

You raised a brow, but shrugged. You pressed play and scrambled over to your spot next to Vil, getting comfy and pulling that handy quilt over the both of you — the rain had made it a little bit chilly.

The Bitter Blossom started playing. Not only was it in black-and-white, but it was also a silent film. The protagonists were two lovers who met by chance, their relationship going from cold strangers to a budding romance. 

But why had Vil grabbed the tissues? The movie was almost over, it couldn’t possibly—

But then the antagonist, a jealous ex of one of the main protagonists, stabbed the love interest in the back with a dagger. The movie ended with the protagonist hugging their love interest, flower blossoms falling down around them.

“Do not let the bitter blossom of hatred and vengeance bloom in your heart or mind, my love. Do not let it ruin the happiness which we fleetingly had.” The words flashed on the screen before the movie ended with the screen fading into black.

That, that was why Vil had grabbed the tissues. Wait, were you crying? That would explain why Vil was gently dabbing away the stray tears as they rolled down your face.

“A lovely film, love,” he whispered, “I should have warned you about the ending—”

You stopped him by grabbing softly at his hand, bringing it up to cup your face. “No, it’s alright. It was a beautiful movie,” you hiccuped, leaning into his touch. 

Vil caressed calming strokes on your cheek, the slow movements helping you focus on him. He placed a kiss on your forehead, a gentle hum escaping as the kiss lingered. “Oh potato,” your old nickname from when the two of you were still just only acquaintances, “what am I going to do with you?”

You grabbed a tissue and loudly blew your nose, “Cuddles?”

Vil sighed softly, but put his arm around you, resting his head against yours and placing a kiss to your temple. “Alright,” he hummed and continued humming a gentle tune until you were falling asleep. While he would prefer sleeping in bed, he supposed he could stand to cuddle with you on the sofa as the rain eased up outside.

Schatz; German for treasure, a common term of endearment

What I mean: "You only have eyes for him!" is my favorite line in malevolent (on par with "I will not let you drown." even) because as clever-written lines usually are, it works on a metaphorical level, yes, but also on a very literal one; Arthur said himself that he had nothing and nobody else but John, all his loved ones are dead, his life is ruined, if he loses him too then what reason is there left for him to keep on living? Arthur also needs John both on a physical and almost spiritual level to stay alive, John sees for Arthur to keep them both from dying, but Arthur have mortal eyes for John to see through for the first time, to grow and change... that is, technically, Arthur's only purpose in this story. He cannot have his sight back because then he would truly have nothing else, those eyes are only for John now. But Arthur living for John (and ironically dying for him too) isnt completely selfless devotion because Arthur is DETERMINED to survive no matter what, no matter what happens to him, and he needs John for that, both as his sight and his purpose, so of COURSE he wants him back, but just how much of that desire is out of genuine love for John as a person, or out of Arthur's own self-interest to stay alive because deep down he KNOWS he is nothing without him, is unclear, possibly (or even most likely) to even Arthur himself. And much of all of that thought process must be the same on John's end. This is the delicious definition of codependency. And the second meaning of that phrase is that "only having eyes for someone" is often used in a romantic way, and Kayne obviously says it in a mocking taunting manner, but Arthur's and John's relationship is physically impossible in nature, the act of sharing a singular body cannot realistically exist and thus I find it hard to categorize their dynamic as purely platonic or purely romantic, it is something else entirely that is pretty hard to pin down personally, if its even possible at all, and if I even WANT TO at all, but I take huge comfort in knowing that there is love there. There IS, undefinable and undeniable, love there. And that makes it fascinating to witness, analyze, and follow it along. What an incredibly well-written story and I'm so glad I decided to give it a listen.

This is how i imagined Emma first seeing Rumple in his Enchanted Forest form would go:

Emma: So this is what you actually look like? Let me be honest: Now you're just as ugly on the outside as you are on the inside. Rumple: Glad we agree on that. Emma: What? Rumple: What?

Funny how like 90 percent of people wanting the wilds back hate to acknowledge the fact that it's partly their fault. I want the wilds to be renewed as well, however if I DARE say yall aren't ready for it and a small part of me thinks some viewers are undeserving I'm the bad guy. Right because the vast majority of you didn't openly admit to skipping over the boys parts in the show, smh. If you arent watching the whole episode why would they want to renew it? They want views, they want money. Do I want the wilds back? Of course. Do I think the gretchen clones deserve it? No. Be better.

#just say you hate men and quit pretending it's 'only because streaming sites hate women/wlw' #you guys LITERALLY THREATENED the actors who played the boys just because they took a job in a show they thought was cool #right and you think you deserve the show to be renewed #you arent ready for that conversation yet though proven time and time again #was it only because of that? absolutely not but dont be so willing to place the blame when we blatantly see where some problems come from #am i annoyed that my replies have been deleted on some the wilds post JUST because i said i didnt mind the boys storyline? #yup #live with the consequences of your actions #the wilds #i want the show back but some of you were really nasty just because a man existed and thats not cool #in the words of waverly earp 'reverse sexism is still sexism wynonna' #shoni was cute leatin had potential but you dont get to be a horrible human #there were so many reactors skipping the boys parts or just saying things just because the boys existed and i cant watch them anymore now #THATS LITERALLY WHAT THE SHOW IS ABOUT #the show is literally about the effects misogyny/the patriarchy has on women and men #if you actually watched the show for it's content you would see that #gretchen is the bad guy for going to extremes and subjecting children to trauma just because she doesn't like men so quit acting like her #I'm not sorry for saying facts #if you're offended you might be the issue so lets take a look at that #the whole the thing is boys vs girls so why in tf would you think they wouldnt at least be brought up a little like in s2 #ugh #i still hate amazon for canceling it

Emma's Oscar is looking more and more locked in, which is good because she was outstanding in her movie, but sad because Lily was outstanding in her movie. And somehow at the end of all this, I'm afraid I must tell you all I have found myself officially rooting for Sandra, who was (get this) outstanding in her movie 😩

#it's really just an insanely stacked year #which we should honestly all be happy about!!!! but its inevitably gonna mean injustice for many deserving entries #it could wind up being any three of them and I'd be like “yup that makes perfect sense” #carey was also good but maestro was a deeply unserious movie so i dont think shes a real contender here #and no shade to madam annette but i have not seen nyad and have no urgent plans to change that lol #anyways i still still STILL think lily could be a dark horse surprise but emma has been freaking sweeping #but yeah for me personally? sandra's was MY performance of the year #oscars #emma stone #lily gladstone #sandra hüller #films #poor things #killers of the flower moon #anatomy of a fall

Every year, I tell myself that I should really consider taking off work for Father Brown premiere day, and then it comes around and I forget to do it, and I spend all day thinking about how I would so much rather be sitting cozy under a million blankets and going back to Kembleford than being forced to do boring work things.

#father brown #honestly i miss the old release schedule model #i loved having just a nice little ep to look forward to every day for two (and sometimes three) full work weeks #now they just put them on iplayer all at once but only air one a week #so its the worst of both worlds #i either watch them all at once b/c i have no impulse control #but do so with the understanding that the fandom may be pacing themselves w/ one a week instead #OR #i force myself to slow down but am grumpy about it #b/c for years the bbc would give me the perfectly prescribed little dose of serotonin in early-jan just when i needed it #the old system was great; why did they change it #an ep a day for 2-3 weeks was just the best way to pace it #i know there's a former higher up at the beeb that just hates the show #b/c it's much more expensive to produce than the average daytime show --even it more than makes up for production costs #by being the single most exported show from the channel to foreign markets (yup even more than doctor who) #so i can't help but wonder if the new release model is an attempt to kill the show by some other bitter exec #well jokes on them cause it didn't work last year and i pray that it won't work this year as well #am a bit worried about the sister boniface spinoff's future ngl #i think i did hear that it was getting an s3 and i think britbox funding it rather than the been directly does help it #but still a bit worried

from a gold shachihoko to a copper shachihoko huh 🤔

#vee queued to fill the void #i’m trying to put together a look at kuukou’s various symbols on his outerwear for a post and was mildly surprised lol #like kuukou’s colours are muted and that’s obvious from the moment you see his entire fit yeah #but it completely flew over my head that kuukou’s shachihoko changed since it’s one of the few aspects of kuukou’s attire that carried over #lol we back to kuukou analysing in the tags this is great lmao so i was thinking #i haven’t gotten around to posting it but one of kuukou’s lines for new years in arb is him stressing to stay healthy #like he even says not to overdo it!!!!!! #i always wondered what aspect of smoking & drinking kuukou doesn’t like and it seems to be pointing to the body/mind ruining aspect #(tho to be that aware of it is still hmmmmm lol 🤔) #real gold should never have to be polished and usually withstands the elements quite fine but copper!!!! #turns green under prolonged exposure to water air etc and that’s what happened to kuukou’s speakers like it’s an oxidised copper dragon lol #so we have a kuukou who has gone from bright colours and golds to a kuukou in darks and copper a less resilient metal #best case scenario it’s just symbolic of kuukou’s experiences!!!! like his speaker is of a dragon that has been exposed and weathered a lot #but is still going strong kicking ass taking names lol #worst case scenario i think is that it’s a 🚩 🚩🚩that kuukou’s being weathered down by something and not in a good way #nodders yup yup yup we back to worrying about kuukou starting off his year STRONG lmao

brittany telling santana that she and artie got together again a couple days after the pucktana + artittany double date and santana just about kills herself in front of them. like she retains her chill but she just *emotionally* pulls away after that which is worse than her actually snapping about it

#i mean in original songs it’s so obvious that santana just refuses to speak to brittany after sexy happened #they were hooking up before but now santana won’t even do that #because she’s so frustrated #obviously this is pre silly love songs and stuff so santana doesn’t stop hooking up with brittany #in fact she feels more of a drive to do that because she feels like she’s losing brittany yeah it’s messy #but she won’t open up. wont talk really the way they used to #she wasn’t ever vulnerable but now every trace of that is gone because she’s just scared and frustrated #brittany notices a bit #santana doesn’t even mention her not liking britt and artie together anymore #she doesn’t wanna think about it #sexy rolls around and due to santana just completely ignoring the subject of artie she’s so pissed #just feels betrayed honestly because brittany was spending extra time with santana and she still wants to be with artie? #cue full pull away and they’re not even friends for a bit there #yup yup yup #gleeposting #drizzle au #<- specifically because i’ve got a lot of drizzle au thoughts about this in particular #because it def fits more into that universe although it’s also a general thing for the actual show u know it’s just.: not shown like that 🥊 #does that make sense

[linskywords]

Came here after reading Should Have Fallen on My Knees and the “sequel.” Omg I love it so much. Like it’s my new favourite fanfic. Thanks so much for writing it. Would you ever write an epilogue

Aw yaaaay I'm glad you like it!! Also I am now SO EXCITED because I forgot that bbvhrla was writing a sequel to it and it's complete and I haven't read it and now I can! I feel like so much of my writing stems from "I want to read something exactly like this so I guess I have to write it." But this time someone else wrote it for me! I know what I'm reading tonight. 😍

Anyway I have to admit to not having any current brain weasels about an epilogue, but perhaps some will sneak in. I *am* writing jacknico D/s right now (er, if I ever stop writing crack-adjacent short things instead), which may provide some similar feels and/or inspire me to revisit the 1988 one. Also, I still feel slightly weird about this so take it with a grain of salt, but I'm strongly considering opening up some commission slots (like...maybe tomorrow??), so if that is a thing you are interested in and in a position to swing, feel free to jump on that!

#yup still feeling weird about it #but also i think it might be fun #we'll see how this goes #hockey rpf #1988

[teecupangel]

idk if this was asked already but have you watched/read Red, White & Royal Blue? The movie surprised me bc it was actually well done. But consider this!!! son of the first american female president Desmond Miles meet-disasters prince Altair, second son of the british princess Maud and syrian dignitary(?) Umar. Malik is Altair's older brother bc he has the energy : D Connor is Desmond's cousin bc i love him. its difficult for Desmond as ppl expect him to live up to Altair's reputation as the prodigious but aloof prince or whatever. In the books Alex Clairemont-Diaz has a sister who pretends to date Prince Henry when rumors of their relationship was going around, Desmond needs a big sister we should give him a sister. You know what just make the whole family big and add the Auditores in the mix, they could be more Miles cousins or idk maybe Italian royalty. You can run with it however you like tho!!!

I haven’t watched it yet but it is in my watchlist XD

Okay, so let’s set up the backstory for this one!

For this one, how about Desmond is the son of Jennifer Scott, the first American female president (sidebar: in this one, the Kenways have been in America for centuries so they’re an American family coming from ‘old money’).

This would make Ratonhnhaké:ton his cousin while Haytham suffers as the the little brother of the president XD

Of course, Edward is the best grandfather who may or may not be helping any shenanigans Desmond gets into. Ratonhnhaké:ton swears he’s there to keep an eye on his cousin but ends up helping him instead.

As for the Auditores… hhhhmmmm. Perhaps they’re Desmond’s cousins from his father’s side (William Auditore Scott being the youngest brother of Giovanni Auditore) and he grew up with them so they’re more like siblings than cousins?

To Altaïr’s side…

Altaïr would be the second son of the British Princess Maud after she remarried the Syrian dignitary Umar (and it was a huuuggee scandal) who already had two sons, Malik and Kadar. This means that Malik and Kadar would be older than Altaïr (with Kadar being a year older maybe?) and would be his half brothers.

Who were Maud’s first son?

Jacob Fyre who has an older twin, the crown princess Evie Frye.

That’s right! We’re making Altaïr have a complicated big family in this one!

Also, we can change up the whole ‘sister pretends to date the prince’ and have Evie pretend-date Desmond instead, doing it as a favor to Altaïr and also because she does care for her younger brother.

So, in this case, Altaïr is torn between two families, the royal family who are pushing so much expectations and duties to him which he’s able to meet and his father’s family who worries about him and thinks all that royal ‘power’ is getting in his head (they’re worried about his arrogance as well as this problem of his of believing he has to be the best at everything). His accomplishments are also driving a wedge between him and his older siblings, especially with Evie who is supposed to be the crown princess but is always compared to her younger half-brother while Jacob ignores it the way he always does (so yeah, Altaïr’s royal family is screwed up… oh, did I mention we’ll have Minerva as Maud’s mother and reigning queen to add more drama in the royal family? I didn’t? Well, now you know XD)

And then we have Desmond Scott, the charming oldest son of the president of the United State, who always act like everything is okay and he’s having a great time, even when he has heard and read all the comparisons being ‘whispered’ behind his back comparing him to Altaïr’s reputation, not knowing that Altaïr is annoyed by Desmond’s friendly ‘laziness’ (he gets along with Jacob sooo well it’s scary) and it took him a while to realize that he was actually jealous of Desmond because he makes it look like living with such powerful parents was… easy.

Enjoyable even.

And the more they spend time together, the more they realize that their jealousy was transforming into something much more deeper…

… and more dangerous.

(I know you wanted Desmond to get a big sister but I was thinking who we could add and it was either Layla or Lucy (or Rebecca or Bishop???) in my mind but it felt like that wouldn’t work for some reason so, instead, Altaïr gets the Frye twins as his older siblings XD Desmond instead gets to have two younger siblings. One of them is Arno, of course, because Arno deserves a happy childhood and maybe… Lucy? idk)

#in this case #it would be funny if jacob and malik are the ones to tell altaïr #yup you’re sooo down for him you’ll betray the crown for his dick #while desmond gets his heads up from claudia of all people #after she hears him talk about how he feels to federico and ezio #who think that it’s still desmond wanting ‘to be altaïr’ #and claudia just goes #no you idiot! #you’re in love with him! #you want to kiss him and adopt kids! #god boys are so stupid! #and when desmond tells ratonhnhaké:ton about it #he just goes #uuuhhh… i thought you knew that? #it was quite obvious??? #i thought we just weren’t acknowledging it #like our own brocode or something? #you know you can totally change this #by changing history #and making syria still have a ruling monarch? #kinda like the kings of saudi arabia? #so like altaïr would be more or less a prince of syria instead #but making him british royalty #means we can screw with him more #and add the frye twins while we're at it #ask and answer #no usual tags because #altdes #red white and royal blue au
