A/N: Hi anon! Thanks for the ask! You shouldn't have mentioned being ready to have your heart broken, because I've been in a mood...
(This was written from a promt from this ask game!)
Characters: Syverson
Summary: You come home to an interesting situation...

You carefully close the door behind you. It’s unusually quiet and dark in the house. There’s music coming from the living room. Lionel Richie’s ‘Endless Love’ is just ending. When it starts again, you get suspicious, and carefully walk towards the living room, unsure of what you’ll find.
The lights are dimmed, there are candles everywhere, and about two dozen balloons are stuck to the ceiling, with printed out photos dangling underneath them from strings. There’s an enormous bouquet of roses on the coffee table, along with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries – the good ones, from that place you forget the name of because you don’t go there on account of it’s fucking expensive. For the particular occasion, however, you understand more than perfectly.
In the middle of this scene, you find him. Sy. On the floor, with a tiny box in his large hands. In it, a ring; a white gold band with a pear-cut topaz. It’s simple, but absolutely gorgeous.
“Sy?” you ask carefully. “What is this?” As soon as you start speaking, a soft sob escapes him. Fuck.
“She said no.” His voice breaks halfway through the sentence, and so does your heart. You drop to your knees beside him, take the box from his hands and snap it shut, and toss it onto the table.
“Do you want to talk about it?” you ask in a soft voice as you run a hand through his hair. You’ve always liked doing that; his buzzcut feels nice on your skin.
“Sugar, I can’t begin to tell you how much I don’t want to talk about this night ever again,” he sighs. He points to the other side of the room, where his phone is on the floor, next to a pile of glass shards that used to be the mirror on the vanity that’s standing against the wall. You carefully retrieve the thing. It looks comically tiny when Sy is holding it, but this thing is so big that you could never use it with just one hand. The screen is cracked – no shit – but it still works.
It opens on a text – what he seemed to have been reading when he threw the thing across the room.
Sy,
Please believe me when I tell you that every time I thought about what it would be like if you proposed to me, it ended with me saying ‘yes’. Needless to say, when push came to shove, I didn’t. It wasn’t something you did, Sy, I promise. Everything was exactly as I’d always hoped it would be. Except that – and I honestly can’t think of a nice way to say this – when you popped the question, all I could think about was how much I don’t see myself marrying you. I’m sorry.
By the time you’re done reading, and re-reading, and re-re-reading the message, you have tears in your eyes.
“Four years,” he says softly, “gone.” You drop the phone on the coffee table, next to the ring box, and grab the champagne, pouring two glasses and handing Sy one before you sit next to him on the floor. He rests his head on your shoulder for a second before looking at his glass.
“To the worst night of my fucking life.”
“Wrong,” you say as you pull his head back to your shoulder, “to the next chapter.”

My favorite fic of yours
Although I fell in l've with your writing with "The Hidden Sun" this has to be "Blinded By The Fog" I just love all the characters so much!
My favorite chapter in my favorite fic of yours
Chapter 4 of Blinded By The Fog. I re-read this so many times. Always finding all these little scenes that melt my heart. And then that last little words
“Ni-night, baby.”
It always breaks me and I'm sobbing like a baby 😭
A fic I haven't read yet from you, but I want to
Stick handling series. It's sitting in my drafts for a long time and I swear I will get to it, promised
What made me the most emotional after reading
Already mentioned it, but it is just so, so heartbreaking!
“Ni-night, baby.”
What I like the most about your writing
Your characters are so full of life, they have their own personality, their flaws, they are loveable. Also, you get emotions out of me with your work, it's just wonderful!
A fic i'm excited for you updating/posting
Well, it's no secret that I hope to see an update on Blinded By The Fog...
Something I wish/hope you write
Anything that makes you happy ad comfortable!
If i've ever shared/talked about your fic to someone else
Yes, I did! Because you need to be praised! You're such a talent!
A fic I didn't expect to like so much
Arresting and arrested - I send you this ask but I didn't think to get THAT! And damn, it was so much better than everything I had expected. This man hanging from the Ceiling is plastered into my mind!
My dear @peyton-warren You have an alley in me and I will always do my best to support you. I know you're having a hard time. Just know that there are people who really love what you create! Because I do! 🥰
Found this in my inbox when i got a new ask tonight. This has been sitting there entirely too long . First of all thank you for your kind words and support. You know how crappy of a day I had today, and how many tears I shed. And this ask brought more tears to my eyes but for good reasons!
Your Favorite Fic of mine: I didn't know you started out with Hidden Sun, I am glad you liked that one. its one of my first here on tumblr and that first chapter holds a special place in my heart. I know how much you love Blinded by the Fog, you are my #1 cheerleader on that one, and I really appreciate as I try to get more of it out.
Your Favorite Chapter of a Fic of Mine: Chapter 4 of Blinded hits me more and more every time I reread it. And once I wrote your ask about the behind the scenes of how Sy was feeling, it is now a whole other level. I didn't intend for him to have so much feeling in that chapter, but man he breaks my heart too.
Something of mine you haven't read yet- I know that one is no longer true because you were able to help me brainstorm Chapter 8!
Whay you like most about my writing: Thank you hon. I honestly just write what the characters tell me to write, and I dont intentionally try to draw out emotions. I do love writing, and I love telling a good story. I am glad it comes across in the writing.
Writing you are looking forward to me writing/posting: It is no surprise at all you want me to post the next chapter of Blinded. And I appreciate your patience as I work through my own stuff as i try to get past this writer's block. And trust me, you will probably be the first person to know I when i finish that chapter.
something you wish I'd write: make me cry why don't you, Nina.
You telling others about my work: I don't think anyone has shared my work as much as you have, ever. I appreciate all of your support, and you telling others about my writing. It means so so much to me, more than you could ever know.
The fic that you were surprised by: I think that fic surprised many people, especially me. your prompt threw that scene in my head and I just wrote it down verbadum as I saw it in my brain. I need to get back to that. Tell the rest of the story that's in my head.
Again, Nina, I just I have no words for your support and how much it means to me. I keep saying thank you, and telling you it means the world to me, but even that does not cover how much you mean to me. Thank you, my friend from the bottom of my heart. You are a such a rare treasure and i value you so. Whether we are talking dogs, hairy titties, or fic, I always love seeing you pop up in my asks, dms and feed. Thank you for being you.

Heres something I've written based of the Zombie AU
//CW for some links to artwork with some blood in them
The last helicopter left the city at exactly 12:49 AM on the 10th of September. I don't know why she decided to stay. I asked her, I BEGGED her to go. Yet she stayed. Once she puts her foot down, she doesn't back down. She would remain with me even if it meant saying goodbye to her family.
First class tickets out of the city and into the safety of the military seemed like the best I could do for them. I figured they’d be safer outside than in the bunker right in the center of the city. That decision keeps me up at night. I wish I could tell myself that she doesnt know, but Jennifer is a lot smarter and observant than I ever gave her credit for. My only hope is the potential that they could’ve escaped and somehow made something for themselves out there. That's the only thing keeping their status as missing, and not deceased.
Jennifer’s ability to inspire people in desperate times shouldnt surprise me. People loved her, and they looked up to her for guidance and advice. When we started sending scavengers out, she shined as a leader. Amongst ex-soldiers, mercinaries, and former emergency services members, she won the pick for Chief of Security by a landslide. I know she is more than capable of handling herself, but I worry about her constantly. I guess I know what it was like to be in her shoes in the times before. Her status is alive. Should that change, I don't know if I'll be capable of documenting it.
Lucas’ fall into delusion was some of the hardest hitting of when we were still secluded from the outside. He had convinced himself that I had been too lenient, and that executing certain individuals who posed a threat would be beneficial to our isolated community. The fact that me killing him caused such a stir sent that theory to the grave along with him. Lucas’ status is deceased. It was the first life I had taken since the outbreak. I’ve killed many more people since, but it doesn't progress the community further. It just means less people that disagree with us and more blood on my hands.
Frances has been a great asset to the community as her pinpoint accuracy has saved many lives. The people and I owe her a great debt, but she shrugs it off as nothing. All she asks for in return is more ammunition. Oftentimes she acts as a scout in the city. Going in alone into the concrete jungle and bringing back important intel. In fact, she was the first one to encounter the Marshals. Current status is alive. One day I’ll find a way to repay her. Maybe I’ll look for her hat she lost a long time ago.
Some of our outer city manufacturers managed to find their way back. Whittaker kept his metalworkers alive long enough to make it to us from the radio signal we had sent out to our facilities. Not everyone made it back to us though. Cindy is currently missing at this time, but truth be told I don't think she couldn't have made it out there on her own.
As for Hawthorne? Its hard to say for certain but…
For a long time I was greatly concerned about Peyton or her gang managing to survive the outbreak, and launching an attack on us. As time passed the concern lessened, but I was always afraid that she would come to our gates and proceed to make this new life of mine a special kind of hell. That day never came, and Frances had become curious. Their compound was on the other side of the city, but that didn't seem to dissuade her. Frances’ report goes as follows:
“The place was abandoned, seemed like nobody had inhabited the place since the outbreak. Some kind of massacre took place. A bunch of skeletons were strewn about still wearing those stupid colored clothes Pb’s freaks liked to wear. I skulked around until I found her. A skeleton with its head detached lying in some command room. That faded purple jacket was unmistakable. No sign of Cat mask or that twitchy little shovel creep neither. Well, besides all the headless skeletons anyway.”
Pb, Peyton Beck, is deceased. I can sleep a little easier knowing that. Especially since I had nothing to do with it. Though, that still leaves Nelly and that big guy Jules uncertain. What are the odds they’re still out there? I don't like that uncertainty, but maybe without Peyton messing with their heads they can actually be reasoned with. Whatever the case may be…

⌜‧ ˔ ✧ʾ Is that LIANA LIBERATO walking down the streets of Blackrock Cliffs? Oh no, it’s just PEYTON MURRAY-JONES, a TWENTY-ONE YEAR OLD CISFEMALE that works as a BABYSITTER/HOSPITAL INTERN. She has been around for TWENTY ONE YEARS, ELEVEN MONTHS, AND TWENTY SIX DAYS and she seems to be PERCEPTIVE and COMPASSIONATE. Someone said she is also SHELTERED and INTROVERTED.⌟
hi hi hello! ‘tis i, your friendly neighborhood spider-rach, and i am so excited to introduce you to my bae, peyton. she’s currently one of my go-to muses to write, so i’m excited to bring her to all of you! if you’d like novels, please feel free to read her (very long) bio, but also you can find a bunch of info about her under the cut! also please like the thing/reach out if you want to talk connections/plot because i am such a sucker for plotting kaycoolbye
CW for Chronic Illness!
Peyton Ava Murray-Jones definitely belongs to the “looks like a cinnamon roll & is also a cinnamon roll” grouping (though i would actually call her more of a neutral good than a lawful good but that’s besides the point)
She was home-schooled through her senior year of high school but this past May she graduated from UC: Santa Cruz with a BS in biochemistry
She’s was on a pre-med track & will be taking the MCAT in the early spring in preparation for med school applications
She currently has an internship at Blackrock Hospital and babysits Ches Elswood’s tiny human ( @cheselswood )
She’s also studying & trying to get a jump-start on her applications & trying not to burn herself out because that’s definitely happened before but what are the chances it’ll happen again?
But I am #gettingaheadofmyself !!
Peyton is the daughter of two Blackrock natives who were both Blackrock High alums
Her parents are also one of the #tokengaycouples in Blackrock & like...they’re just a lot basically
Phoebe (mom #1) loves music more than like anything & runs Murray’s Music Shop in downtown Blackrock
Stella (mom #2) is always chasing an adrenaline rush from some sort of adventure whether that’s white water rafting or skydiving etc.
Peyton’s younger sister is named Reagan
Reagan is a genius & I mean that literally
She is basically a mathematical prodigy & at six years old was doing math far beyond the level of her ten-year-old older sister
She is sassy and blonde and great -- like think an older version of Mary from Gifted pretty much
Peyton has chronic lyme disease
She contracted it at age 3 when she & her moms camped out for a night in Colorado during a road trip
The whole camping thing was unexpected & also Peyton was three & it’s hard to tick check a three year old & it was flu season so like...basically the symptoms went unnoticed because no one really thought much of the fever and fatigue
But when Peyton’s hearing practically disappeared overnight her moms knew something was up & lo & behold Peyton had that telltale rash on the back of her neck
Peyton still gets waves of exhaustion/fatigue (especially when she’s stressed and overworking herself) but really the only symptom that has been constant since diagnosis was her hearing loss
Peyton wears hearing aids but she doesn’t love them; though it was great for college lectures when she could connect them directly to professors’ microphones, they don’t do so well during normal conversations where everyone is talking all at once, & they can get uncomfortable
Peyton is fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) & English (because that was her first language) but has a preference for ASL just because its easier for her to understand & the vibrations of her own voice in her head while she’s got her hearing aids on just makes her really uncomfortable
If Peyton is ever talking to someone who doesn’t know sign language/doesn’t have someone around to help aid with interpreting she can/will talk to people, she just doesn’t make a habit of it when she doesn’t need to if that makes sense?
She’s really good at reading body language, like she’s fluent in it, just because a lot of work she has to do in following conversations has to do with facial expressions & body movements, not to mention ASL is a really expression-heavy language
Peyton’s also pretty good at reading lips. She can’t do it from all the way across a room or anything, but if some random person is facing her, speaking clearly and not at too fast of a pace, Peyton can pick up maybe 60-70% of what’s being said. With people she knows well, that percent can increase to almost 90%, but it also decreases when people are mumbling/not facing her/speaking too quickly
Basically, in times of chaos, Peyton appreciates being kept in the loop via ASL if possible
Peyton’s moms are complete helicopter parents -- even though Peyton’s turning 22 in five days, she has less freedom than a typical high schooler and it’s no bueno
The fact that winter 2018 was one of the worst seasons for Peyton since she was diagnosed with chronic lyme probably didn’t help, if anything her moms are more hesitant to let her be an actual young adult
Peyton’s really just trying to take things one day at a time but her plate is overloaded and she’s stressed because she just wants away from her parents and out of Blackrock
(Here’s hoping that, one way or another, she realizes there are oh-so-many reasons to stay)
Wanted Connections include: Anyone who knows ASL/wants to learn ASL (bc cute plots are cute), childhood next door neighbors and/or family friends who Peyton would have actually seen during childhood (she didn’t get out of the house much), crushes (mutual or non-mutual; can be any identity of human bean bc Peyton #lovesall), an internet friend (kind of meta i know but peyton was totally the kind of person to keep a blog), maybe someone who works at the Murray family music shop so she knows them because they work with her mom? basically i’m connection trash please come love me & my babe!!
#(( will i ever be more than i've always been? )) || about peyton.#(( on the outside always looking in )) || peyton's headcanons.#blackrockintro

So I started watching One Tree Hill again back in June and I just finished. Now I feel empty inside.....
Those of you that have followed me for quite some time know I love my little TV show posts. Here are my overall thoughts about the show...
- Naley will always (and forever) have me in a chokehold. I blame them for the high expectations I have when it comes to relationships. In all seriousness, I've never seen a show write a couple in such a way where most of the fandom actually enjoys and ships them. Although they had their moments, they will always be my #1 comfort couple.
- I like to pretend season 2 doesn't exist. That was the dark era.
- What the actual fuck was Chad Michael Murray's hair in the last season 💀💀💀💀
- James Lafferty is an underrated king. Not only is his character the superior brother, but he as a person is superior in every way. He's also aging gracefully ☺
- Jake and Peyton should've been endgame and I'll always stand by that.
- Lucas Scott has some redeeming qualities, but he became more and more aggravating to me as the seasons went on.
- Chuck and Chase's friendship was something I didn't know I needed.
- Season 9 Chris Keller was a literal king.
- Even though Lucas was a little shit at times, I did love his friendship with Haley. I actually have a confession..... the first time I ever watched this show, I went into it blind. I had no clue who the characters were and who the iconic couples were. For the first few episodes of season 1 I shipped Lucas and Haley 🤢🤢🤢🤢 I honestly can't believe the thought of them as a couple was once appealing to me. But it was my first watch so I'm cutting myself some slack lmao
- Dan's death destroyed me and dare I say, it destroyed me more than Keith's.
- Mouth and Millie being endgame and having a baby on the way was a perfect way to send off the characters.
- Peyton losing Ellie fucked me up royally.
- Clay and Quinn were so pure. Robert Buckley and Shantel VanSanten had so much chemistry, did they date irl or....??? Cause fuck. They were hot.
- I wish we got more time to see Naley w/ Lydia. The baby actress that played her was so fucking cute.
- Haley's depression storyline after her mom died fucked me up. I honestly felt like it was rushed, but I understand why.
- Brooke Davis is a queen.
- Brucus > Leyton
- Season 9 was so fucking wild, but honestly I think it's one of the better seasons (at least better than 7 and 8)
- Naley and Brooke carried this show on their backs.
- Although I hated whenever Naley was fighting, I lowkey loved the Nanny Carrie plot. Only because of the drama lol
- I really wish we had gotten more of Peyton and Nathan's friendship.
- Quentin Fields deserved better!!!!
- Antwon Tanner is the funniest dude and I could tell Skills was ALL him.
- Seasons 5-6 Jamie Scott reminded me so much of Cole and Dylan Sprouse in Big Daddy lol
- Season 3 Naley >>>>>
- I shipped Brucus, but Brulian was actual perfection. I really grew to love Julian Baker.
- I honestly hated that the writers had Nathan retire from basketball and become an agent. It just didn't feel right. I understand why they did it (to show that Nathan's #1 passion and priority was his family), but idk it felt weird after seasons of his struggles trying to make it in the NBA.
- Seeing Skills and Bevin end up together made my heart happy
- Rain kisses >>>>>>>
This show is one of those shows I can watch over and over again and never get tired of it. It's rare to find shows like this nowadays. OTH will never get old.
Oh and also, fuck Mark Schwahn.
#one tree hill#oth#naley#nathan scott#haley james scott#lucas scott#brooke davis#peyton sawyer#james lafferty#chad michael murray#hilarie burton#bethany joy lenz#i love all of them so much 😭

hi hazel I hope you're having a nice day! i was wondering if you could rec me some malum fics? length does not matter. i know I would have probably read most of them but i read most of the malum stuff before i made my ao3 so i can't even remember the ones i read and i would Love to read good ones whether i've already read them or not. i've said 'read' way too many times now avzcfhrb. in any case i would love to see what would make it on a hazel malum rec list! thank you i hope that's not annoying 🥰 -taylor<3
omg taylor did you know that you are the first person to ask me for fic recs like this. i'm very excited tbh. some of my favorite malum fics located below!
every malum rec list i make is going to start with make me a promise here tonight by @calumcest what can I say I just love this fic. so cute and very them yknow.
“Calum,” Michael says, walking into the bunk area and stopping in front of Calum’s bunk. “Cal.”
“What?” Calum asks, not looking up from his phone.
“I think we should get married.”
as for other helen fics, I also rec dancing with the demons (holy spirit, holy spirit), you're already the voice inside my head (i feel like this one might be up your alley specifically), it should be criminal that you could be mine, the first time i've seen love (and the last i'll ever need), and we know this is the way it's supposed to be
(unfortunately I haven't read these ones recently enough to know if there's alc in them or not)
another one of my absolute favorites is i got you right where i want you by @calumsclifford. very cute and sweet, although alcohol warning for the third section
“Next year. I’m going to plan you the cutest fucking anniversary you’ve ever seen in your life.”
“It’s just a day,” Michael laughs.
“It’s a day that means something, though. Let’s do something big, okay?"
or, 5 times Michael and Calum’s anniversary went wrong and one time it didn’t
also, and i breathe disaster, ever after (the winter soldier au) and it's no coincidence my hand fits perfectly in yours (cute 5+1 Valentine's day)
wake up with by asymmetric is one of my absolute favorites as well
Calum had been under the lights for ten minutes and he was already sweating.
(in which they film a lyric video and familiar things gain new meanings)
Yes, you make my life worthwhile by lumoon33 is nice and cute
"Hey Calum?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you love me?"
i'm loving what you got by asymmetric is also super cute
Michael accidentally (sort of) kisses Calum in Nashville and Calum realizes a few things.
Fallingforyou by ercareyes is also cute
Michael is five years old when he discovers his fascination with love.
Or alternatively:
Michael falls in love every day and falls out of love just as quickly. Calum is always there to catch him.
Love (and other acts of madmen) by TempestRising is actually one of my favorites, but the malum is very light in it due to the circumstances of the fic
...every nerve Michael has is on edge and his brain won't stop screaming Calum Calum Calum and his hands are still red, and there's still blood under his fingernails from where he cradled Calum's body before they tore them apart.
"Well honey," the nurse says, "if you've got a god I'd start praying. You might be here a while."
Or: Calum gets shot at a concert.
big fan of @escapesos Peyton's work, today I'm going to shout out sure as hell the happiest i've ever been
“Why Vegas?” Calum asks.
Michael shrugs, trying to play it off but he can’t help the truth slipping out. “It seemed kind of romantic.”
“Gambling and Elvis impersonators are romantic to you?”
or
malum take a spontaneous trip to vegas. and they get married. spontaneously.
also so say that i'm a rainbow (and tell me that I'm bright)
“Of course I want to, I’d love nothing more than to share what we have with the world. But only if you want to.”
Maybe there’s something familiar in Michael’s eyes that settles Calum. It’s the way he’s looking at him, he thinks, because it’s the way he’s been looking at him since they were 15 and didn’t know what they were doing with anything. The eyes looking back at him are the same eyes he fell for all those years ago. It’s just Michael.
“I want to.”
or
mali-koa writes a pride song. michael and calum use it to come out.
from Bella @clumsyclifford we have the malum section of spidy!au, latest nostgalgia, or happily ever after
Calum’s not cute.
Well, okay, Calum is cute, but that’s not something a straight guy should be thinking about, and — Michael’s not straight, but he’s trying to keep that particular fact on the down-low, so he can’t really speak to it. Still, objectively speaking, Calum is cute, and Calum is talking, and if Michael were the type to get distracted by cute boys talking, he’d be fucked.
He blinks. Calum’s watching him.
“Sorry?” Michael echoes. “I missed that last part.”
also by Bella, a part of my heart that you'll never change
Then they release an album, and that blows up, and then Calum somehow convinces management that they should go to Brazil for the World Cup, which is weird because Michael is pretty sure they’re scheduled to play the Where We Are Tour for, like, all of the World Cup, except apparently the Switzerland show has been conveniently cancelled (not convenient for the Swiss, though, Michael guesses), and that leaves them with a comfortable three-day window.
They go to Brazil.
i know this whole damn city thinks it needs you is the amazing superhero au by @igarbagecannoteven
But when Calum had become apprentice to the city’s biggest superhero two months ago, a lot of things changed.
The main one was their nights. Instead of staying up doing homework and hanging out until they both crashed into their respective beds, Calum would slip out their window to save the day and catch the bad guys, and Michael would lay awake in bed until Calum returned, paralyzed with the fear that some night Calum wouldn’t come back at all.
the creek walk small talk series by @cringeycal is awesome, i love adri's writing style
Seeing a stranger’s footprint in his spot rips apart the imaginary curtain Michael’s woven between his creek and the rest of the world. Right now, he needs that curtain fully intact and drawn tightly shut.
A splash louder than the average rush of the creek comes from off to Michael’s left, downstream. He doesn’t bother looking. He knows who it is.
“Rough day?” asks Calum, sitting cross-legged on the ground next to the log, halfway in the water.
I could sift through works by various other writers we both know to find more but these are the ones coming to mind right now!
#ask#taylor#fic rec#malum#i feel like there's less malum out in the world than there used to be#i feel like people used to write them more#it's probably less that malum isn't being written and more that other pairings have become more popular around it#so malum isn't being written less the others are just being written more#which makes me feel better about having two malum fics in the oven right now#gotta ensure that they're equally represented in current fic stats

Loki director Kate Herron and star Jonathan Majors on his pivotal character's wild debut
The director/executive producer and surprise finale guest-star discuss He Who Remains' grand entrance, the actor's clown training, and which moments were improvised.
Warning: The following contains spoilers from the season 1 finale of Disney+'s Loki.
Like the Sacred Timeline, Loki's end point was determined from the beginning: The multiverse would be born after Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) reached the Citadel at the End of Time and met He Who Remains, the mysterious and potentially villainous figure who created the Time Variance Authority and lorded over the Sacred Timeline.
"It was always our North star," Loki executive producer and director Kate Herron told EW Friday morning, two days after the chaos-creating finale arrived on the streamer. "What happened [between] when they met him and when the multiverse was born was still on the table, that's something obviously me, the writers, Michael [Waldron, the head writer], and the studio discussed and worked on.... I think honestly, for me and the writing team, we were just like, 'Okay, we'll just keep assuming we're going to get to introduce him until we're not allowed to.'"
Thankfully, no one told them no. Thus, Loki's first season ended with the introduction of Lovecraft Country's Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains — a variant of Kang the Conqueror, the supervillain Majors will play in 2023's Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania.
"We got to do it and what an honor it was to bring him into the MCU. It was a big secret to sit on," said Herron.
"It was one of those moments in one's life, depending on one's occupation, where you go, 'Ah, this is it. This is it,'" Majors told EW when we spoke to him for an upcoming piece about his Emmy nomination for Lovecraft Country. "'All the s--- you talked about wanting to do, [now] there's a door in front of you. Be brave, walk through the door, and leave it on the field.' That was my mentality."
From Herron's point of view, the trickiest part about pulling off the He Who Remains reveal was casting the right actor, because this is the first time the audience would meet this pivotal character.
"[The character's appeal is] in the writing, in the sense that we want to know who is behind the Citadel and who could be there. I think the exciting thing was he tells this story about his past and who he is. For me beyond that, then, it's, which actor are we going to bring in? Because it's got to be an actor with presence that immediately grabs you, because not every actor can do that, and Jonathan is one of the best actors out there. The fact that we got him to do this, I was just so happy because I was like, 'We're gonna be in really safe hands now.' He just commands attention. That for me was the real key thing for me, just getting the casting right," said Herron. "I was so excited that I got to be part of the conversation about the casting of his character with the studio and Peyton [Reed, Ant & The Wasp: Quantumania's director]. It was a massive honor and very exciting, and he's just an actor that we all loved."
Once Majors was cast as He Who Remains (and Kang), Herron thought of a way to integrate him into Loki before we ever saw his face on-screen: Through the Time Keepers.
"Something that was really fun for me was we hadn't, for example, cast the voice of the Time Keepers yet, because you know Wizard of Oz was an obvious reference of ours. I was like, 'Oh, let's get Jonathan to do it, because he's an amazing character actor,'" she said. "We sent him the art of all the characters and it was really fun [because] he was sending us all of these different voices he could do for each character, which was great."
The other obstacle they faced was Majors' availability, because he was working on Netflix's upcoming western The Harder They Fall in New Mexico when Loki was in production. "That was the hard part: preparing [He Who Remains] while leading The Harder They Fall," said the Da 5 Bloods actor, who arrived on set for Loki's final week of production in Atlanta. "It was wild."
"We finished with Loki, Sylvie, and He Who Remains, and it was kind of beautiful in a way because it is also how our story ends. So we filmed with Jonathan for a week," said Herron, who held read-throughs with Hiddleston, Martino, and Majors via Zoom before they started shooting. "Working on He Who Remains, it was really interesting because I started production filming so much of the Time Theatre with Loki and Mobius [in the premiere], and I love how it almost starts with a conversation and ends with one with He Who Remains."
As He Who Remains, Majors was intimidating, for sure, but he was also charismatic, eccentric, and very funny. The actor loved playing the role because it allowed him to draw on the clown/commedia training he learned at the Yale School of Drama.
"There's more smiling in that one performance than there has been in my other performances combined. It's just what it calls for." he said. "I'm a classically trained clown. That's part of my training. I've been at it for a long time, and to be able to exercise that was a lot of fun."
For her part, Herron wanted to do everything in her power to give Majors the room to play, experiment, and forget about the schedule, and the actor took full advantage of that and improvised. For example, the moment when He Who Remains rattles off what his variants said to each other when they met for the first time — "'I love your shoes.' 'I love your hair.' 'Oh, man, nice nose.' 'Thanks, man.'" — wasn't scripted, nor He Who Remains dramatically standing on the desk at the end of his tale.
"He was never meant to get on the desk," Herron recalled. "That was the fun thing with the improvisation. [The camera team] saw him start to move, and Autumn [Durald, the cinematographer] was like, 'Okay…" and then you saw the cameras start to move; it was almost like a dance with him. But that was not planned. It just blew us away because it was just so cool. That was the fun thing with him: I love the way he brought movement to the character in different ways, because I think that was really important as well. Where are we going to go for that big energy moment? Where are we going to draw people in?" She continued, "I love the bit when he sinks into the chair and he's like, 'I'm old and I'm tired,' and you feel his frailness in a way, you feel his aging, [even though] he's obviously a young man."
"The things that come out that aren't scripted only come out because the script is the way it is, and the world is what it is," said Majors. "A lot of it was through collaboration with Tom, Sophia, Kate, and Kevin Wright, the producer. They really let me run. And that's the best thing you can hope for."
As of right now, Majors couldn't say much about how playing He Who Remains affected his performance as Kang in Quantumania, which is currently in production. "You take it a day at a time. That's all I would say about that," he said. "You take it a day at a time and clean your plate and see what tomorrow brings. See what the next story is, and then take it from there."
Loki will return for a season 2, but when? Only time will tell.

I wasn't planning on talking about this, but ever since the trailer and the summery of episode 1 came out certain people have gone into overdrive. Pretty much all the same stuff they always say. "Hope should just dump Landon, he doesn't deserve her love and devotion" 😑😑😑 and "They made Hopes whole story just be about a boy. Why does Landon/Handon get so much screen time over all the other characters?" Etc etc.
Okay look Landon is the only one who's actaully earned Hopes love and devotion. Everyone else just acts as if they're entitled to it. With how they always treat her(very unpopular opinion I know but it's true).
Hopes story has never been all about Landon. It's always been about saving everyone else, doing what's best for everyone. Even if it means sacrificing herself and what she wants/what makes her happy. Season 3 was the first season she actively put herself and what she wants first(and even then she still was doing what was best for everyone else at times). And a part of that just so happens to be Landon because she loves him and he's the one who makes her the most happy. And in 3x05 when Hope was in the therapy box was a whole give a way. That she's just tried and done always putting herself last and sacrificing what she loves(ie Landon and what else she just doesn't want to sacrifice anymore) just to save everyone else. And I honestly don't blame her for some of the things she did in s3, not excusing what she did not at all. But at the same time I don't blame her.
Now what I'm about to say might upset some people but there's two reason why Landon/Handon gets so much screen time is bc 1. Landon is a lead and at the very core of legacies is Handons story, so of course they'll be getting more screen time. And I think 3x16 was trying to drive that home of a lot of people. As well as about a 100 other that have been shown/said throughout the show.
2. The other reason why other characters don't get much screen time or even a storyline is bc more often than not is bc the writers/showrunners just don't really care all that much for those characters. One example of that is Rafael. And as much as I love his character, you can just tell the feeling wasn't the same for them. Bc he was gone for must of s2 and when he was around they made him be all about his feelings for Hope. Same thing goes for the twins. You can just tell that they didn't really want to have them in the show in first place(even Juile herself said she didn't want the twins. But things change I guess). Because they've haven't been doing anything with their characters, they've done more with Cleo's character than they have with the twins. I think the most I've seen them do with the twins was the whole dark Josie storyline. The rest of the time their storylines have been about love interests. I'm not sure if I forgot any of their other storylines bc once s3 hit I just kind of stopped paying attention to their storylines(not bc I don't like their characters but bc their stories just kind of just keep going around in circles and I really don't want to watch the same thing over and over again). And idk if in season 4 they're going to start giving the twins and other characters more screen time/ more storylines but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.
Wow sorry that got long haha. But any thoughts on this?
It’s just the same old thing with the antis, can they really not think of anything else to say? But yeah, everything you said. What is it Landon has to do to earn Hope’s love and devotion? You’re so right, he treats Hope far better than any of the other characters do, unpopular opinion or not, that’s the truth. He’s not done anything that’s made him undeserving of her love. And for them to even say that after he went his whole life without being loved is horrible. And I’m so tired of them saying Hope’s storyline revolves around a boy (especially when all most of them want is for her storyline to revolve around Josie), because exactly! They must not be paying attention to the show if they don’t see that Hope’s storyline has always been about her being the hero and saving everyone. Which is why them saying that Landon is all Hope cares about and all she thinks about contradicts her actions throughout the show when she has continuously been there for everyone. And yep, to the point where she has sacrificed her own happiness with Landon for the sake of everyone else. And yes, I loved Hope’s development in s3 because she was finally putting herself and her happiness first. And that didn’t mean that she no longer cared about her friends because, like you said, she was still trying to be there for them and do what was best for them too. And exactly, Landon is the one who makes Hope happy, and I felt so bad for her in the therapy box in 3x05. That really did say it all, you could definitely tell that she’s so tired and just wants to be happy for once. And same with in 3x10, when she said “we can never just be happy,” it never seems to end for her. And I don’t blame her for what she did in s3 either. And you’ve also gotta consider that everyone had pushed her into a position where she was most desperate and left with no other options. Plus she also didn’t even think Lizzie or Josie would be in danger in 3x08, and she believed they could make it until the dark magic started to infect them and then she apologized. But what she did still ultimately ended up saving Landon from the prison world, otherwise they may never have found another way if they hadn’t created a rift.
And very true about screen time for Handon. People still refuse to believe that Landon is the male lead despite Aria’s name appearing right after Danielle’s in the credits and Julie literally saying that they casted Aria to be the leading man of Legacies when he auditioned for TO. Both Hope and Landon are the leads of the show, and yep, their story is the main story, so obviously it’s gonna get more focus. And yes, that’s been made clear throughout the show.
It does seem like the writers don’t care as much about the other characters. And I love Raf too, don’t get me started on the way they treated him. And it’s so weird because it seemed like they had bigger plans for him at the beginning. It took them a while to find Peyton, if I remember right. And I thought he and Landon were gonna be the brothers of the show, it seemed like they were setting up a love triangle of sorts with them and Hope (not that I wanted that), but then, like you said, he was hardly in s2. It’s like they scrapped any plans they had for him and didn’t know what to do with him after s1, even though there was so much potential.
And yeah, same with the twins. But idk if Julie said she didn’t want the twins on the show? I just thought having them on the show, at least as mains, wasn’t always part of the plan. They had always talked about a “Hope spinoff,” no mention of the twins. Julie had said Hope and the twins wouldn’t be friends because of the age gap. And from 5x12 of TO, I’d guess they hadn’t planned on them being mains for Legacies at that point either, otherwise they wouldn’t have made the age gap so obvious. And they had no interactions between Hope and the twins either, yet they made sure to establish a relationship between Hope and Landon in that episode. So I do feel like Handon was always part of the plan and they most likely decided to have the twins be main characters later on. And that really does show because they don’t seem to know what to do with them anymore either. True, they definitely did more with Cleo last season than the twins, and I do feel like the dark Josie storyline was the last real storyline they had. And I agree, their storylines now mostly have to do with love interests, and they do feel repetitive or just like they’re not going anywhere. And people will complain about Handon being repetitive, but look at what they do with the other characters, it’s far worse. Despite there being some repetition with Handon, like with them being separated and being put through horrible things all the time, there’s still development and progression. But with the rest of the characters, I feel like there’s hardly any progression at all. I feel like they’ve even gone backwards with some of the characters as well, especially last season. I actually thought the writing for the twins, and all the characters, was pretty good in s1. I liked all the characters and was interested in their storylines, but now, especially after s3, I’m just not interested anymore. S3 really changed my mind about some of the characters tbh, mostly because of the way they treated Landon and Hope. So idk if they’re gonna give the other characters more screen time or better storylines in s4 either. But honestly, because some of the characters have kinda been ruined for me, I’m not even sure if I’d care much if they did give them more of a storyline. I’m really just watching for Hope and Landon at this point, ngl. But hopefully, for everyone else’s sake, they can do more for the other characters next season that other fans will enjoy.

"My youth is yours. Tripping on skies, sipping waterfalls. My youth. My youth is yours."
Ryland folded herself into Taylor's side. She squeezed her eyes shut until her eyelids began to pound in pain. She made a noise somewhere between a groan and a sniffle.
Taylor frowned, rubbing her girlfriend's back, "What's wrong, Ry?"
Ryland hesitated in responding, but she figured it was now or never. It was time to get this off her chest.
"I-I just don't want you to be upset or mad."
"Did you kiss Landon?"
Ryland broke out from Taylor's hold. A look of evident disgust on her face, "Hell no!"
"I didn't think so. He's sort of been telling everyone at school that. Which is odd because you don't even go there anymore. Don't worry I'll handle it." Taylor said with her signature easygoing smile.
Ryland let her sigh take her back into Taylor embrace.
"I'm scared that you'll be mad when I tell you that I'm still not ready to mate or even have sex for that matter. I don't know if I'll ever be. To be completely honest the concept of sex doesn't really appeal to me. At all. Maybe if we can mate without it that would be ideal."
Taylor placed a soft kiss on Ryland's head, "That's okay, babe. It's my job to keep you happy and if sex does not make you happy then consider it crossed off the list. And when you're ready I'll look into non-sex ways to mate."
Ryland looked at Taylor with tears in her eyes, "I love you."
"I love you too."
~•~
"The more you come over here the more obsessed with you he gets. The other parents are going to think you're playing favorites." Wendy said as she watched her son move hurriedly around his playroom. She wasn't sure what he was attempting to accomplish but she knew better than to ask and to just wait until he was done.
"I am playing favorites." Lia said simply. She didn't bother to elaborate, but the small smile on Wendy's face indicated that she understood.
"Then why haven't you asked me out yet?"
Lia sputtered for a good thirty seconds before frowning deeply. Why hadn't she asked Wendy out yet? It was honestly a very good question.
She supposed she had been so caught up with her family and Maya and work end everything pointedly not Wendy that it conveniently never crossed her mind. Besides, she was also under the impression that Wendy definitely didn't like her like that and just wanted to be her friend.
And yes, now that she's thinking about it literally none of that makes sense. At all. But, who is she if not a gay mess.
"Wendy Son, will you go out on a date with me? Without the ankle biter."
Wendy smiled brightly and gave Lia a quick kiss on the cheek, "Of course I'll go on a date with you."
"Cool."
"And don't call my kid an ankle biter."
"Why not? We were playing dinosaurs the other day and he quite literally bit my ankle."
"You should have communicated the rules of dinosaurs better to him."
"This is my fault!?"
~•~
"You've got that look."
"What look?"
"That mom look. That look you do when you're momming."
You ooked at your wife with a roll of your eyes, "I'm always 'momming'."
Jisoo huffed, her wife was not getting it, "I know. This is different. You get this look when you're going to go into mama bear mode. Like when something bad is about to happen."
You nodded and thought for a second. You supposed your eyebrows were furrowed a bit more than normal. And it was safe to say that youe did feel like a shoe was about to drop. Like something was about to happen with one of your kids and you were going to have to do some major mothering or damage control. Often, with your kids those were one and the same.
"I don't know why, but I've just got that feeling, you know? Like one of your kids is about to walk through that door and tell me something I don't want to hear."
"Why are they always my kids when they do something you don't like?"
"Oh trust me. You won't like this either. But to answer your question, they normally take after you. "
The last time you had felt like this, they were sitting by Lia's hospital bed during her illness. The surgeon was about thirty seconds away from telling them that Lia probably would never be able to sing again.
You eyed the calendar hanging ominously on the kitchen wall. May was always a busy month for them. Three weeks ago had been Peyton's 18th birthday. Then the following week was her graduation. The day after that had been the anniversary of Lia's incident. A day they don't necessarily celebrate but always acknowledged.
"I think we're going to have to put another date on the calendar for May." You said. Your eyebrows somehow even more furrowed than before. One of the perks of being mated meant being constantly in tune with your mates emotions. Ever since Jisoo had finally gotten over her well to-do hang ups, it seemed as though they were even more in sync. Jisoo could practically feel the apprehension wafting off of her wife.
She stood up and wrapped her arms around your waist. Kissing you comfortingly on the neck, "Whatever it is, I'm sure we'll get through it. We always do."
You relaxed for the first time that day into your wife's arms, "You're right. I'm just being dramatic."
Jisoo kissed your cheek, "You wanna go be dramatic in bed?"
Before you could answer the front door opened. Peyton and Maya walking through it a second later. You eyed the grip Peyton had on Maya's hand. Jisoo eyed the look of fear in Maya's eyes.
And they both knew exactly what was about to happen.
"Mommy, mama. I'm pregnant."
You had been right on the money.
Jisoo pulled away from you with a harsh stretch.
"Maya." Jisoo spoke lowly.
"Yes ma'am?" Maya squeaked.
"Run."
Unlike with Lia, Maya knew to heed that warning. Without hesitation she took off the down the street. Jisoo hot on her heels.
And yes, you had been right. But Jisoo had been right too. All those months ago. When she was so apphrensive about her daughter and a certain alpha. She had been focusing on the wrong daughter and alpha. But nevertheless, she had been right. And as she's chasing Maya down this residential street, all she can think is "I was right!"
~•~
A.N. that's the end. I hope no one is upset with this ending. I know it may not seem like it but this book is somewhat rooted in reality and things these sometimes happen. let me know if you want that third anthology book i was talking about.

Friday Thoughts 1.7.22
Happy Friday & New Year everyone,
It's been a minute since I've done this so bare with me and excuse my spelling, diction and usage as we plunge into this New Year electronically, the year of the Tiger I was just told, in an always positive and uplifting way. I hope?
*****
I know what you're thinking here. Here we go, he's gonna talk about "it." Nope this is and always will be a virus free zone, so you can turn off your anti-virus earmuffs. Relax, now Mr. Slate pull that horn, It's quitting time. Yabba dabba DO!
*****
This was this morning in Octopuses Garden. Notable only because this bird didn't move for the 5 minutes or so that I watched it. I was like damn, I have a frozen or stuck pecker on my bird feeder that I now need to remove. So I bundled up and headed out to dispose of said pecker. Thankfully as I approached he or she awoke I suppose and flew away. Phew! I believe this is a Red Bellied Woodpecker but I'm no ornithologist. Our bird feeder brings em all in.
"Bork, bork, bork!"
*****
So now the self indulgent part to all of my peeps, and only because I've had neighbors reach out and say where the heck did you go. The last four months of 2021 were a pain for this kid. The short of it, I woke up in mid August in the middle of the night in Florida with pain like I never experienced in my back, shoulder and right arm. Pinched nerve C6 & 7, which led to, thank God a successful fusion surgery in October. Same surgery as Peyton Manning, so I'm excited about my version of my future Super Bowl that I'll win. Shout out to my family that nursed me back to my pre senior citizen state and the team at Beacon Ortho & St. E for their expertise and care. So the answer to the question, where have I been, is in our former Dining Room, which we now use everyday, and has a Peloton Bike & Tread. Our salon is clothing optional and caters to old kids that sing like people can't hear. The looks that Cal gives us are priceless.
So lets look forward to this year through the lens of positivity. If you've gotten this far thank you and I wish you nothing but the best of good health and fortune, full of great family, friends, fun, Friday's. Sorry, Im an illeteration junkie.
*****
Would love to hear what your obscure Netflix recommends might be? That is if you're still here? We don't really do television anymore in this house.
*****
And then there was last Sunday. Iv'e said, and will say again that last Sunday was one of the coolest live sports events I've ever had the pleasure to see in person and I was there for Pete Rose's 4192nd hit and The Freezer Bowl. I'll tell you, we bonded that day in Section 307. Us weary Cincinnati Bengals fans with more scar tissue than you can imagine. We went from the master of clock mismanagement Marvin Lewis to the Wizard of Time Zac Taylor. I know there was some luck that day on that chilly windswept fake field but that luck has usually in the past been the other "B" word type of luck. Walking out of Paul Brown Stadium that afternoon, were 58,000 stunned faithful in what I would label euphoric shock. Yep, that's what it was. WHO DEY!
*****
What type of organism chews or cuts your outdoor Christmas lights?I just hope and pray it was a rodent. Shout out to our Longmeadow neighbors this season. WE all Clark Griswold killed it this year. So when it gets dark, you know what to do. Light it up! We be festive in our hood.
Oh, and heads up neighbors. My Beacon Ortho team says I can't plow driveways until April 4, 2022 at 11:00 AM. Sorry but your friendly neighborhood plow boy is on the 90 day fusion healing reserve list this winter.
*****
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all. If that's not your deal, you know I wish you the best too. Have a great year and remember those random acts of kindness. It feels so damn good to turn in a wallet full of cash and credit cards to the office at Kroger. Just axe me.
*****
Cheers,
DrHill

here i am back 2 talk abt oth!! (im sorry lmao) anyway since rewatching the show i've fallen in love w peyton!!! before i was all #teambrooke and blah blah but now that im older i see how amazing peyton is?? she has been through so much and is still kind. i always see ppl (i.e. brooke stans) say that she isn't strong bc she cries and im like uhh...have u ever been through anything in your life ever? also post s5 brooke cried like every episode so i don't wanna hear it LMAO!! (+)
(+) also paley is so cute and my fave friendship on the show and im so mad they decided to develop braley instead. hilarie and joy have such good chemistry (way better than hilarie and sophia imo) and honestly i lowkey hate how breyton made up so easily. someone, esp. a friend, making fun of ur mothers’ death is not something to be forgiven/forgotten so easily? idk obv. peyton made mistakes in s1 by sneaking around but brooke was soooo cruel to her in s4. (+)
aaa glad you’re back!!! lmao i mean tbh i don’t hate brooke bc she’s whiney or she “cries a lot” post s5 i just dislike her because she’s a horrible person, the only time where she was slightly acceptable was like you said during s5. and idk i just think it’s funny that anti peyton’s drag her for having a shit life and being closed off and being emotional, when they over all claim to be the biggest feminists and like “ohhh gimme all the ladies” except for peyton, she’s a whiney pos. i mean ppl hate her too for the whole cheating thing which i get like for 50% but br00ke went after him just to prove to herself that he would sleep w her, which he ultimately didn’t until peyton rejected him. i mean peyton and br00ke were kind of in the same Position (live having shitty past lives) but br00ke coped w being horrible to peyton and people around her and scheming as much as she could. peyton ?? did nothing ?? of those things??? i mean it’s just like.. you have a choice to become an asshole, you weren’t born with it, i just think it shows how weak as a character br00ke was, that she “CHOSE” to become the worst version of herself. i mean peyton did cheat on her w her boyfriend, yes but she was willing to break it off, because she didn’t want to lose her best friend. she even told br00ke about it in s3. i think lucas is the biggest to blame like “ i know it’s wrong and i know i’m with br00ke but i just really wanna kiss you” … like i mean,,,,, idk…. people are fast to judge peyton for her mistakes when lucas played a really big part in it too . and yeah i agree i’m much more here for paley than i ever was for bre.yton tbh, not really bc of the chemistry idk but just bc i feel like peyton let her back into her life too easy, like IK it’s fiction and all… but if my best friend would drag my dead mother through the mud and call her a whore… idk if i could ever forget or forgive her for that. but ultimately i’m just glad that the show put them back together as friends (no matter how sloppily they did it) rather than make it into a pitting women against each other sort of thing. i’m just glad i got my leyton endgame and br*cas died when it did lmao
#anti brooke davis#anti brucas#anti brooke#i love random anti brookes in my inbox#gives me life lmao

Hey lovely, how are you doing today? Okay, so I just completed another OTH rewatch for like the millionth time, and I love love love Peyton Sawyer so much ♥ I've been on a Peyton high lately, and IIRC, I believe she is your all time favorite? And if that's the case, what sets her a part from other characters you love? Like what makes her #1 to you? And hey, ramble away if you want. I just love reading people's responses for why they love Peyton ♥
hello! i’m doing pretty well, thank you lovely! I hope you’re having a good day! and this is such a nice message to receive, I can always sit down and talk about how much I love peyton sawyer. i’m jealous of your rewatch, I haven’t had the chance to do an oth rewatch in a while and i miss it.
yes! i would still say even after all these years peyton is still my favorite. it would just be so hard for anyone to ever top her. even when i go through times of loving other shows or characters, peyton is still there at the top. there are so many layers to her, and i love all of them. honestly, she goes through so much emotionally, but always manages to come out better on the other side. also she’s so easy to connect with. even though i’ve never experienced any of the trauma she has, you feel everything she’s feeling.
every season she has a bit of a journey to go through whether it’s family, love, or friendship and you’re always rooting for her to make it to that next point. compared to so many other shows, all the characters on oth are so well written and have such distinct identities that they feel more real than just tv characters.
personally i’ve always loved multifaceted characters, and peyton has always been that. i love that she can have a killer one liner and then make you cry about something 2 seconds later. seriously, all this talk is making me wanna do a rewatch. i’m thinking season 1 because that’s my favorite, but then once i start i’ll be halfway through all the seasons in a short time haha.

So I've been seeing a few people say this and it really bugs me to no end. But they be saying they can't wait for Hope to become a full tribird so that way her feelings for Landon will finally go away, just like what happened with Elena. That really bugs because people tend to or choose to forget that 95% of the reason that happened was because she was sired to Damon. I'm not saying she didn't have feelings for him but if looked back at what she said at the end of s3 that maybe things would've been different if they met first but she loves Stefan more. The sire bond just messed everything all around because he was basically controlling her, even if it was unknowingly. But I'm not going to get into all that. Another thing that bugs me about that is that they make it seem like that happens to everyone once they turn into a vampire. Like they didn't happen to Caroline when she turned her feelings for Matt didn't just go away. Or to Tyler when he turn. It didn't happen to Hayley or Cami when they turned their feelings for Elijah and Klaus didn't go away. Hope is not Elena and Legacies is not TVD. They would be in two completely different situations and cases. If they want to see that type of story why not go back and watch that season of the TVD?
People are saying that? Wow. Yes to everything you said, you’re absolutely right. As long as the writers don’t break the rules, it would be literally impossible for Hope’s feelings for Landon to go away, it’d be the exact opposite. Yeah, I mean, I don’t wanna get too into the whole Elena and Damon thing, I don’t wanna bother anyone who ships them, but they did kinda break the rules with them. Everything becomes heightened when someone turns into a vampire, including their love for someone. You’re right, Elena loved Stefan more as a human, so her love for him should’ve been even stronger. Her feelings for Damon should’ve been stronger too, but no more than her feelings for Stefan, since they weren’t when she was human. And that’s something that never made sense to me, because just like you said, that didn’t happen to any of the other characters when they turned. They did use the sire bond to make that happen with Elena and Damon, that sort of initiated her stronger feelings for him. Again, I won’t get into that, but there were reasons behind them doing that. But Hope is in a completely different situation. Elena had already fallen for Damon when she turned, Hope does not have feelings for anyone else but Landon. And it’s also not possible for Hope to be sired to anyone either, so you can’t even compare Hope’s situation to Elena’s. I mean, I’ll be honest and say that Hope turning into a tribrid kinda worries me because I don’t want the writers to do anything to change her character too much or her love for Landon. And while I think she would probably change as a character to some extent, since that’s what happened to everyone else, I don’t know how they would change her love for Landon when her turning would only make that stronger with no sire bond to affect things, even if she did have feelings for someone else, which she doesn’t.
But yeah, Legacies is clearly not like TVD, for better or for worse haha. TVD was set up as a love triangle, it was promoted that way, we knew that even if Elena and Damon never became a couple, Elena would at least develop feelings for Damon and have to choose between him and Stefan. That is not at all the case with Legacies. They may have considered a triangle at the beginning, since I believe Danielle did a chemistry read with Peyton and it seemed like they might have planned something with Raf’s feelings for Hope developing in season 1. But obviously that’s not gonna happen now, if it ever was. And the only other person Danielle had a chemistry read with was Aria, obviously, which happened in the very beginning, and Landon being the male lead and Hope’s love interest was always part of the plan. And that hasn’t changed at all, Hope and Landon have only become stronger. It used to be a joke that everyone had a crush on Hope, like Raf and Ethan, and they did used to bait Hosie, but they basically ended all of that and it’s so obvious that they’re trying to shut down Hosie. And if you try to compare the two shows, in the middle of season 3 of TVD, Stefan was gone and with his humanity off, Elena was developing feelings for Damon and they had kissed. But in Legacies, Hope is completely in love with Landon and no one else, was willing to do whatever it took to save him, and just said that he’s everything to her. You just can’t compare the two situations.
If the writers screw things up with Hope and Landon, they would really have to go out of their way to completely alter the characters and break the rules. At least as far as their love for each other is concerned. And I really can’t see that happening. So yeah, if those fans want that storyline, they should just go back and watch TVD because it’s highly unlikely for Hope and Landon. But if they wanna get their hopes up for yet another thing that’s (probably) not gonna happen, I guess that’s up to them, haha.

Vellichor
The One With The Kick in the Ass
Rating: T
Wrd Cnt: 1k
Notes: 3 chapters left!
Always on the edge of something. Always on the edge of wondering why.
Yes. Irene knew exactly what would greet her when she entered her livingroom. But that didn't change the fact that she was hoping and praying the nightmare she was living would be just that, a nightmare.
"Do you know what vellichor means?"
Oh, no. This is unfortunately very real. Her prayers remained unanswered as she crossed the threshold. Being met with the ever increasingly pitiful sight of her best friend (on a good day) laying precariously across her brown leather couch.
"Not this shit again."
She rubbed her face in attempt to swipe away her tiredness or rub off her skin so she could be carted away to the hospital and away from whatever it was Jisoo was doing. Whichever came first would work really.
"It's that feeling you get when in a used bookstore."
"I very genuinely hate you." Irene sat down on the coffee table. Her head in her hands.
"I feel like vellichor."
"Our whole friendship is a joke."
"I don't think I can go on like this."
'Me neither.' Irene thought idly.
"I fucked your mom."
"What?"
"Now that I have your attention, how long are you going to sleep on my couch?"
"I dont know."
"You're making the house smell like assholery and desperation. Go apologize, have make up sex with your wife. Get her pregnant again for all I care, seems to be your kink anyway."
"You don't get it."
"Neither do you. She's sick right now. You know as well as I do that you're not supposed to stay more than three days away from your omega at once."
Jisoo fidgeted. The guilt about that was eating away at her, but she wasnt anything if not stubborn.
"Lia is there, she should be fine."
"Are you trying to convince me or yourself? So, she fucked another alpha 20 years ago. But she mated with you. Get. Over. It. And. Get. Out. Of my. House."
Irene pointed toward the door with a firm finger, not in the least bit surprised when Jisoo only sat up slowly.
"Do you think she hates me?" She asked softly. She stared at her phone. No missed calls from you, because you hadn't been calling. No missed calls from her children, because for them, Jisoo would always answer. Several missed calls from your mom. Jisoo was borderline terrified of her and was making it a mission not to interact with the older woman.
"Y/N? No. She knows you too well to hate you. She knows you're stupid and absolutely shit at handling your feelings."
"I am stupid. I'm so fucking stupid. I love her so nuch that even til this day I get so confused as to why she picked me. And why she's continued to pick me every year since. I'm stupid and a hypocrite and a coward."
Irene nodded along calmly, "Yeah, I've known all these things about you for a while now. So, for the final time. Get off my couch and go tell her that. Go get your wife back."
Jisoo made no effort to acknowledge Irene, but she did clamber off the couch with renewed vigor.
It had been a week and a half since you had seen Jisoo. Your heat had come and gone within the first three days. And in its wake had been the worst case of mate withdrawal you had ever experienced.
You had went through it before. Like that one time before you had officially gotten with Jisoo.
And that other time when Jisoo went to visit her parents in South Korea, and you refused to go with her out of principle that you didn't feel like going to get a passport.
In the grand scheme of things, you're still mad beyond belief at her. More so for leaving you, then because of anything she said that day. But you missed Jisoo like nobody's business and you just wanted her back.
And no, you haven't called to tell her that. Because you're stubborn and this was all Jisoo's fault in the first place. You were waiting on an unprompted apology and then you'll let Jisoo back into your bed so you can finally get a good night of sleep.
During the week, some days were better than others. Most days were just lethargy and other days were full on flu. You're not sure why the omega gets the worst part of mate withdrawal, but whatever.
Today, was one of those days where you were able to get out of the bed. And do things for yourself and clean. And parent. And do the things your children had been trying to do for you.
Bless their little hearts.
Speaking of your children doing the things you normally did, you eyed Peyton who was sitting on the couch, from your place behind the kitchen island.
Where as Ryland and Kaleb had been practically directly underneath you this entire time, Peyton hadn't been. And for Peyton, that wasn't really out of the ordinary, but she had almost been avoiding you.
You continued to stare at Peyton. Your children always thought they could get things passed you. You're not sure why because they never do.
That's when it hits you. You sighed loudly, alerting Peyton to your presence.
You rubbed your temples to stave away the oncoming headache.
"Did you use protection?"
Up until today, you would have told anyone that Peyton didn't have the ability to blush. But clearly, you would have been oh so wrong.
Peyton tried to sink deeper into the couch.
"I'll take that as a no." Normally, you would have to think about a way to break the news to Jisoo, but you're just going to let her figure that one out on her own.
"How can you even tell!?"
"I grew you inside of me for 9 glorious months then pushed you out of me for 30 horrible minutes. Your head was gigantic. All of that is to say, that I'm your mother. I'm always going to be able to tell things about you."
And with that, tears started to fall down Peyton's face.
You instantly gathered the girl in your arms, "Baby, why are you crying? I'm not mad at you."
Peyton buried her face into your neck, "It's been two days and she hasn't talked to me. She won't answer my calls."
"I'm fairly sure but just for some confirmation, we're talking about Maya right?"
Peyton nodded solemnly.
"Honey, don't take it to heart. I'm sure she's probably busy with her summer classes. Or maybe-" You're cut off by a resounding knock at the front door.
You went to open it with a frown.
"Speak of the devil." You mumbled, moving to the side so Peyton could see.
"Hi?" Maya pulled her arm from behind her back and scratched her head nervously. She forced the bouquet of flowers she was holding forward, "I'm sorry."
Peyton wiped her face. She walked toward Maya and took the flowers softly. She looked at them for a second before hitting Maya in the chest with them repeatedly.
"Ow, Peyton! Thorns!"
"Don't. Do. That. Again. I thought you didn't want me or something."
You shrugged at Maya's pleading look, "Don't look at me for help. If she hadn't done it, then I would have."
Peyton eventually stopped. Then pushed Maya back into the hallway, following her. She closed the door behind her.
And you were greatful for that. You didn't want to see them make up or whatever it was teenagers did either.

Rating: M
"It's not a walk in the park to love each other. But when our fingers interlock, can't deny, can't deny, you're the worth it."
Jisoo walked into the house slowly. Almost scared that you would jump out at her and tell her to leave. Instead, she doesn't see anything.
Or rather no one in the front room.
The kids are off doing God knows what. As Jisoo traipsed further into home she realized that you wouldn't jump out at her. You wouldn't do that because you were cuddled deep under the comforter to their bed.
Jisoo can see your face poking out from your desginated hole in the covers. And she sighs so heavily she almost collapes.
You looked tired. Exhausted even. And Jisoo knew it was all because of her. Because she was being stupid and stubborn and...well...her.
She kicked off her shoes and carefully joined you onto the bed, careful not to wake you.
Jisoo blew out a wisp of breath when you subconsciously rolled into her side.
"Don't talk. I just want to sleep." You whispered, and who was she to deny you of that? Especially, considering she didn't know what she was going to say in the first place.
She has to keep a chuckle to herself as you let out a short snore.
You woke up feeling rejuvenated. Better than you had in months, let alone weeks.
You rolled onto your back, only to have something poke you in the middle of your shoulder blades.
Jisoo let out a sound akin to a balloon releasing air.
"Y/N? You're squishing me."
The something between your shoulder blades was Jisoo's nose. You had rolled directly on top of her.
"Sorry. You deserve it though." You rolled off of your wife. Sliding into your original groove on the bed.
"I do, don't I?" It's not a question. They both know the answer.
You nodded despite yourself, "You do. Speaking of, what the flying fuck was that, Jisoo?"
"I'm a hypocrite."
"You're telling me." You mumbled under your breath.
"When I met you, I thought you were out of my league. I still think that actually. I thought you wouldn't want anything to do with me because I was single with a kid. I had already been with someone. I had thought you wouldn't be interested. Most people wouldn't have been at least. And then. You were interested. But there was always this thought in the back of my mind that it was only a matter of time before you came to your senses. Then, when I found out about Chaeyoung, I turned all of that insecurity back onto you. And I'm so sorry. I kept pushing it aside until it blew up, and doing that almost cost me you. I'm sorry. I'm over it. I love you more than I'll ever be able to explain to you in this lifetime."
You sniffed but otherwise didn't say anything for awhile.
"Lia is just like you. Hot-headed. Head strong. Opinionated. Impulsive. That scares me."
"I guess we can only hope she learns from my mistakes."
You grabbed Jisoo's hand softly, "Our mistakes."
"Ryland is just like you so I don't have to worry about her. Peyton....We really need to check if she actually is an alien or not. Something's not-"
You shoved Jisoo lightly and pouted severely, "Don't call my baby an alien."
"Well, then tell your baby to stop acting like an alien!" Jisoo laughed as she deftly avoided your swatting hands.
You rolled your eyes before speaking again, "We need to get Kaleb acclimated at school. Hopefully we can find some that are autism friendly. And because I refuse to believe anyone at face value, we need to find some times to observe their classes."
Jisoo admired, you, her wife for a long moment.
"I love you. I'm so sorry."
You looked over at Jisoo, staring into her eyes for a long moment, "I know you are, baby. Just promise me you won't ever leave me again. 'Cause that hurt more than your words did."
Jisoo cursed herself, "I promise."
"Good." You pulled her into a deep kiss, "Especially, because I was in heat. A big fuck you to Kim Jisoo for that."
Jisoo nipped at your bottom lip, hovering over you, "Oh yeah. You know what that means?"
"I know what it means, but what do you think it means?"
"It means I get to take off my pants!" To further prove her point, Jisoo set about completing the task.
You placed a hand on her chest to stop her.
"What? I can't take off my pants?"
"Oh, you can take off your pants. As long as you put a condom on as soon as they come off."
Jisoo whined, "Whyyyyy?"
"You are not getting me pregnant again. I'll be damned if I'm 44 with a fucking baby inside of me."
Jisoo pouted, "But you look so good pregnant!"
"I don't care. Either you get a condom or we don't have sex."
Jisoo frowned but dug a condom out of the box in her drawer.
"Your pouting does nothing for me." You huffed out.
Jisoo rolled her eyes. She then placed her hand up against your center, not surprised she was only in a tank top and underwear.
"Then why are you soaking wet?"
"I've been soaked for the better part of two weeks. Don't think too much of it." Not wanting her to ruin the mood further, you grabbed the back of Jisoo's neck and brought her down for a kiss.
"Do you think Irene will be mad at me if I kill her kid?"
"Yes, Jisoo."
"But her kid defiled my baby girl! I can't just let her walk the streets in no fear for her life."
"You can, and you will. Also, would you keep it down. I technically promised Peyton I wouldn't tell you." You said with a finger to your lips. You peered around the corner of the kitchen towards Peyton's room. The door was still shut, so you were probably safe.
"Fine. But if Irene's demon spawn got my demon spawn pregnant with more demon spawn, all bets are off. I mean, did the sex talk mean nothing to them? I did my best to make unprotected sex seem very scary and gross." Jisoo said with a huff.
"Well, I think the fact that I was pregnant with Kaleb at the time probably did well to assuage their fears."
"Dammit."
"You'll do better with Kaleb." You kissed your wife on the cheek placatingly.
Just then, Peyton opened the door with her usual frown of indifference.
She immediately ran towards Jisoo and hugged her, "If you ever leave me and mom again I will find you and rip your vocal chords out." She snuggled deeper into Jisoo's side.
"I'm so scared right now."
"Peyton, what did I say about threatening your mother?"
"To use a less gruesome threat." Peyton only shrugged, then grabbed the breakfast that had been dutifully prepared for her.
"Exactly."
"Oh, mama. By the way, I had sex with Maya."
"Yeah, I know. Y/N told me."
"Mom!"
"Jisoo!"
Jisoo offhandedly noticed that you and her daughter had identical death glares as she slowly backed away from the kitchen island with her hands up in surrender.
It was great to be back home.
