Early History

While Jo Laughlin was thinking she was sick from food poisoning it was revealed by her brother that she's pregnant after she gives him her power for him to survive the consequences of the jacked merging ritual he performed with his brother, Luke, instead of Jo. Jo and Alaric began to pick out names for the baby. Elena finds out about Jo's pregnancy when she tells her that Kai had been imprisoned in the 1903 prison world.

Jo and Bonnie are attacked by Lily during Jo's bachelorette party. As she is about to feed on Jo, Lily hears the babies' heartbeats and tells her that she is expecting twins. Later, Jo tells Alaric that they will be having twins and that the Gemini Coven will want to get their hands on them to strip Kai of power by performing another twin merge.

Damon reveals that Jo is dead after Kai stabbed her in the abdomen and believed the twins were killed too.

It is revealed by Valerie Tulle that the twins survived Kai's attack on Jo because the Gemini Coven performed a spell to transfer the twins into another body. It was also revealed that Caroline Forbes is currently pregnant with twins. It was revealed that she and her sister had siphoned a bit of magic from Caroline's body for a long time, but as they grew in her womb, they siphoned more and more magic out of her system, until Caroline began to desiccate. Before she was born with her twin, they used telekinesis to keep her from being born because they were attached to the magic in Caroline's body. Bonnie and Valerie finished the job by drawing magic out of Caroline's body as the doctors perform a C-section, allowing Lizzie and her twin sister, Josie, to be born on March 15, 2014.

Alaric, the twins, and Caroline head to Dallas as he wants to keep his promise to Jo. While at a diner, the twins begin to cry and Caroline is having a hard time putting Josie to sleep. After talking to Klaus for a few minutes, Josie is silently sleeping and Klaus mentions they shouldn't wake her up, and he proceeds to hang up.

3 years later, Caroline is seen with the twins in New Orleans at St. James Infirmary looking for Klaus. The bartender tells Caroline that Klaus hasn't been seen or heard from in 3 years, which leaves Caroline puzzled.

Lizzie, along with her sister and her father, calls Caroline before they go to bed. They appear to miss Caroline being around as she has been on the run with Stefan Salvatore, trying to get away from Bonnie. Before they go to bed, they say their good-nights to Caroline before Alaric takes the phone from them to talk to Caroline alone. Alaric and Caroline both decide to use Lizzie, along with her twin sister Josie, to siphon Bonnie's spell over the Armory as Bonnie was suffering from the effects of Rayna's poisonous blood. Lizzie, along with Josie, was successful in opening the Armory doors and she embraces Caroline in triumph, while Alaric hugs Josie.

Lizzie and her sister, Josie, video call Alaric until he asked for Seline. Seline tells them to go put on their swimsuits while they chat. Later, the girls visit Caroline at work; Seline leaves to go have a salad for lunch and leaves the girls with Caroline. When she left, Caroline mentions that Seline probably loves kale, which makes Lizzie ask her what is kale; Caroline responds you don't want to know. The video, that is given to her by Seline from Pete, which Caroline is attempting to watch gets to a certain point and the sound messes up to which Lizzie tells her mommy that it is too loud. Later that evening, Virginia breaks into the house, attacks Seline, and tries to kill the girls for opening the armory. Virginia stalks through the house where she comes to the girls' room. When inside, she hears laughing come from the closet and proceeds through before she can approach is knocked out by Caroline. Caroline checks the closet and finds the girls, Lizzie saying hi to her mommy, to which Caroline tells the girls don't move while she goes to handle Virginia. Lizzie and Josie are first seen fighting over the tuning fork, to which Alaric tells Lizzie to put the fork down immediately. She tells her dad she had it first, which prompts Alaric to yell at Lizzie to drop it. Lizzie drops the fork and she and Josie begin to scream over the vibrations the tuning fork makes. Alaric picks up the fork to stop the vibrations and proceeds to comfort the girls. Josie and Lizzie are getting ready for bed. Lizzie asks Seline for a bedtime story, to which Josie answers nothing sad. Seline then tells them "The Legend of Arcadius". Seline takes Josie and Lizzie to the local carnival where the sisters have fun playing games and won a goldfish. However, it's dead and Seline explains that the deceased need to be treated with dignity so that they can find peace in death. She also explains to them how their souls are taken by Cade and that they can show him what they've done. She teaches the twins the Incendia spell and sets a pile of wood, albeit hiding a corpse underneath, on fire. Caroline and Alaric issue an Amber Alert for her and Lizzie as Seline has kidnapped them. She and Lizzie are taken to a diner and then to a motel, where Seline offers them to Arcadius, who Seline and Sybil have called out to. To spare the twins the same fate as the sirens, Stefan offers himself to be Arcadius' servant; an offer which Cade accepts. Josie and Lizzie visit Caroline for Christmas since they haven't been with her since their dad took both to a safe location.

Alaric brings the girls back to Mystic Falls and takes them to the Armory. He calls Caroline wanting to bring the girls over and admits that he needs good parenting advice as unbeknownst to her, they've been acting up and their siphoning and magic are growing unstable. As he checks in on the girls, they continue coloring as levitating crayons above their heads.

Alaric soon arrives at Caroline's later that night with Lizzie and Josie in tow. Both are thrilled to see their mother and embrace her in warm hugs, commenting about how big they've grown seen she last saw them. They sit down as a family to get dinner and Lizzie accidentally siphons Caroline as she wants to use her sister's cup, the pink one. Josie sits by as she watches Alaric scold her sister and sees that she hurt their mom. Josie is visibly upset at her sister and attempts the Incendia spell on Lizzie but the spell failed without any magic to draw from. Nevertheless, Alaric and Caroline intervene grabbing the two girls; Caroline scolding Josie that those words could seriously hurt her sister. Alaric and Caroline look on, worried about their wild and troubling behavior.

When Kai Parker was brought back to life, she and her sister hide under their bed when Kai breaks free from his cell in the Armory. After he's subdued by Alaric and Caroline, she and Lizzie, with Bonnie's guidance, lock him away in a new prison world, ensuring their safety.

Josie and her sister are the flower girls for Stefan and Caroline's wedding. Later that night, during the reception she, Lizzie, and Bonnie are caught in the crossfire when Kelly Donovan made the Lockwood Mansion explode although, with Bonnie's guidance, she teaches them the spell that they need to survive, ultimately, Bonnie removes all the fire from the building and leads them to safety. Bonnie leads the twins out of the charred building. Alaric and Caroline are overwhelmed with joy as Bonnie saved them. They soon learn that they are not out of danger and they all leave Mystic Falls, stopping briefly at the Armory. They are seen later playing outside the Salvatore Boarding House as Alaric unpacks the newly designed Salvatore Boarding School sign, established for supernatural kids. Josie and Lizzie, as well as Alaric, are last seen being watched over by their mother, Jo's spirit, who had found peace.

In July 2019, 5-year-old Lizzie and Josie are introduced to 7-year-old twins, Hope & Harmony Marshall. The twins take a liking to them, but Lizzie mostly bonds with Harmony.

In December 2020, Alaric was supposed to go Christmas Tree shopping with the 6-year-old twins but was alerted by Emma about a magical surge appearing on the Potential Student map. Unable to go shopping with the twins, Alaric left with Dorian to retrieve this new student. One night, Josie rushed into their dorm and told Lizzie that she learned their father went to collect a student who killed her parents over her Christmas presents. This lie fueled the fire in Lizzie's mind over the "injustice" of her dad skipping out on them & lead to her spreading this rumor throughout the school to make the new girl pay for ruining Christmas shopping for her. So when Alyssa Chang arrived the next day, she was singled out and ostracized during her first days at Salvatore. She enjoyed watching 8-year-old Alyssa being outcasted by the rest of the students upon arrival. However, the joy began to lose its luster and slowly formed into jealousy when she saw Harmony becoming fast friends with the girl. This would indirectly lead to years of feuding with Alyssa with Harmony acting as the referee.

In 2021, 7-year-old Lizzie and Josie began noticing that Alaric began paying special attention to the Marshall twins and started having sparring lessons with them. One day, having been annoyed to see their dad heading to the quarry to spar with the Marshalls, began ranting to Josie about how unfair it was when Harmony came to their dorm asking them to join her and her sister. With some convincing with the assurance that Alaric was patiently waiting for them, the twins agreed and chained into their fitness clothes before following Harmony. However, when they got to the quarry, all three girls saw that Alaric and Hope had started without them despite Harmony promising they wouldn't. Hearing Alaric hyping Harmony and Hope up while downplaying his daughters for them to hear made Lizzie run away in tears. Harmony eventually caught up and tried to console her, but in her distress, Lizzie accidentally siphoned off of her and pushed her to a wall, causing her to bleed and have a concussion. Horrified, she ran back to her dad, who quickly retrieved Harmony and brought her to the infirmary. For a few days, Lizzie was completely guilt-ridden until she heard the news that Harmony woke up. She was scared to approach her until being encouraged by Caroline on the phone. To her surprise, Harmony was happy to see her and easily forgave her as it was an accident.

In 2025, with Lizzie and Josie's upcoming 11th birthday coming up, they invited almost everyone at school, except Hope. Harmony told them off about it but Alaric brought Hope, which resulted in it ending with the entire party ruined and descending into chaos. Harmony got injured getting in the middle of Hope and the twins fight as a result. Both sets of twins were punished accordingly.

This sequence of events caused Lizzie to have an emotional meltdown that caused her to destroy her and Josie's dorm. Josie and Harmony had to calm her down, the latter needing to use her empath abilities to calm her down. Lizzie was later diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Sometime after, under the advisement of Emma, Lizzie started writing in a diary featuring a Star Wars-inspired world filled with her interests.

Before Spring Break, Lizzie and Josie were preparing to go to Florida with their parents. However, it was halted due to a massive fire in Harmony and Hope's dorm - burning almost everything they had, including a cherished picture Hope painted with Klaus and nearly Harmony's violin. Believing Hope did this to ruin her Spring Break, Lizzie came up with a plan to even the score. One night, she snuck into Emma's office and looked through her files hoping to find dirt on Hope. Seeing the files labeled "H. Marshall #1" and "H. Marshall #2", Lizzie deduced that #1 was Hope's file and found a CD titled "Sessions with Marshall". However, instead of watching it, she chose to upload it onto the school website. However, she soon earned that the video wasn't of Hope, but of Harmony- who unbeknownst to her was trying to talk to Anastacia, a spirit living in her head. Realizing what she'd done, she tried to undo her mistake, but the damage was done and Harmony was humiliated. She confessed to Alaric and Emma, who were livid and ashamed of her but managed to get the video down, but not before Lizzie was hit with a mental spell that trapped her in her mind by Harmony for her betrayal. Under this spell, Lizzie suffered from a manic episode in which she heard voices of loved ones calling her "a failure" and that she wasn't "good enough". After this episode, the spell was lifted by Harmony, remorsefully regretful for what she'd done. Seeing as they both did horrible things in a spur of anger, they exchanged apologies. But Harmony, unable to get past Lizzie's irrational reasons behind her actions, ended their friendship. This deeply hurt Lizzie and began the start of a strained, antagonistic association between the two.

In February 2026, she and her sister are students at Salvatore but have a reputation for being mean girls. They are constantly in competition with the Midnight Falls Coven (consisting of Harmony, Alyssa, and Penelope Park) for the title of "Most Powerful Witch". Upon news that Hope & Harmony Marshall are the daughters of Klaus Mikaelson after Hope created a hybrid from a werewolf, Henry Benoit, Lizzie hears of her suspension. With Hope suspended, they tried to grow their on the witch's popularity but were halted by Penelope and Alyssa. However, they didn't try anything once learn that a vampire student, Roman Sienna, was an older vampire and part of a group of "nazi vampires" responsible for the deaths of Henry and Hope and Harmony's mother, Hayley.

A month later, Lizzie and Josie see their mom in the middle of a school tour. She pulls them aside later that day and explains the situation of the Mikaelson twins needing their help. They bargain with Caroline as she asks them to help Hope and Harmony - who are dying due to The Hollow's dark magic inside them. Caroline also tells Lizzie that it would be the first step toward gaining Harmony's forgiveness, effectively guilt-tripping her. Before Klaus could get a chance to talk to them, Alaric shoots him with an arrow through the chest, leaving the twins looking shocked at what happened. At night during the full moon, the girls begin a spell to siphon the magic out of Hope & Harmony to insert it into Klaus, who will proceed to kill himself. After the spell is completed, Alaric takes the girls away.

Some days later, Lizzie and Josie come to learn Klaus passed away, leaving his daughters orphaned, and, by word of their mom, Harmony would be permanently living in Mystic Falls with Bonnie Bennett and continue attending Salvatore with Hope.

In May, Lizzie and Josie soon learn that Harmony had disowned Hope as her sister and vowed nothing to do with her.

When Summer began, they went to Europe to spend time with Caroline in Rome. When they return for the school year, they are surprised to learn Harmony changed her last name to "Kenner", cementing her separation from Hope. Lizzie expressed that she didn't know sisters could disown each one another.

In December of 2026, Lizzie was immediately sent to the ER because Alyssa linked Lizzie to a fire spell with her notebook. She wouldn't know it was because of a Josie telling Alyssa she was responsible for the accusations against her when Alyssa first came to Salvatore.

At some point, Lizzie watched as Josie fell in love and began a romantic relationship with Penelope despite the objections of Lizzie, Alyssa, and Harmony. She mutually disliked the witch, but let the relationship go. However, Penelope broke up with Josie, unbeknownst to her reasoning that she can't watch Josie drag herself down to build up Lizzie.

Personality

Lizzie appears to be a typical high school mean girl, underneath bubbles of darkness that cannot go unaddressed. Given both her sinister lineage and the questionable biology (being birth by a vampire) that accompanies it, Lizzie possesses the power to render great harm to the world if her behavior continues to go unchecked. She shows signs of mood swings, self-absorption, and over-possessiveness. Some even say that Lizzie's exactly like her surrogate mother, Caroline, in neurotic tendencies and other traits. It's ultimately Lizzie's attachment to the superficial that will prevent her from doing the introspection necessary to avert the breakdown clearly on the horizon.

While she cares deeply for her family and would do anything for them, she is incapable of seeing things from their perspective unless pushed. She is capable of remorse, as when she realized she mistakenly hurt Harmony.

Lizzie is also a narcissist with a fragile ego that hates when she doesn't have her father's (or anyone she cares about) full attention.

Powers and Abilities

Lizzie is originally born as a siphoner, a witch with no power of her own, meaning that she could only practice magic by siphoning it from another source.

So how much does Emma Tig suspect/know Lizzie's had a crush on Hope for the longest time? She's been the school counselor... since they were kids.

She's been in the background or in the middle of Hope and Lizzie having scenes together. I suspect she knows.

Hi besties, how do you deal with pining for a straight friend?? I went to a hockey game with the girl I had big feelings for a while ago and it was really fun! They won in overtime and it was exciting! She was very cute explaining what was going on because I know literally nothing about hockey rules! This was the first time we've actually hung out despite texting every day for over 2 months and I thought it was going to be with a group of her friends but it was just me and her. Not to sound big time repressed but sitting with her for two hours brushing shoulders and yelling while thinking continuously about how good she smells and how pretty she is? In the words of my beloved Katya, "that little bit of human contact you just provided has got me incredibly lonely."

I'm just. Ugh. I feel like a lab animal who's gone outside for the first time lol. Attention from girl????? Attention good!!!!

(I behaved myself, don't worry, I'm just venting on here cause I need to get my feelings out lol)

#emma's personal life tag #listen I'm just saying that I had to stop her from buying my ticket #and she bought snacks before I could jump in #and it was just us #like are you SURE you're straight and don't want to date???#my delusional ass thinks this could still be an 'okay dyke' tig notaro situation even though I know it isn't #but yeah she's cool and I want to drag her hiking with me next time we get together

Has there ever been a time where Timo got like really protective of Liv when she was younger?

TW: domestic violence.

A bright light fills the bedroom a second before the vibration of a phone begins to buzz against the wood nightstand. Timo inhales heavily as he awakens, looking over at his phone illuminating his bedside. He glances over to Emma, seeing her curled into a comma next to him, her feet pressing into his left hip. He rolls towards his phone, squinting at the bright screen with one eye open.

A picture of him and Livy making a goofy face stares back at him. He immediately swipes to answer the call.

“Hi honey.”

“Daddy, can you come get me?” His 10 year old daughter whispers. She is currently having her first sleep over at a friend’s house. He had dropped her off right at dinner time and she had sprinted out of his car with her sleeping bag, pillow, and backpack. Now, she’s calling with a much different demeanor.

“Sure, are you okay?”

“Um, yeah I just want to come home.”

“Okay. I’ll be there in like ten minutes.”

“Okay.” She whispers back. Timo pauses, so does Liv. He gets to his feet, heading to the closet to grab a sweatshirt then change out of his lounge pants into jeans. In that entire time, Liv doesn’t attempt to end the call.

“Do you want to stay on the phone with me?” Pricks of awareness begin to poke at the back of Timo’s neck, knocking the sleepiness out of his voice.

“Yeah.”

“Are you safe?”

“Yeah, can you just hurry?”

“Yes, baby. I will hurry.” Timo says into the phone. Emma sits up, looking at him with confusion. He mouths “Livy”, then grabs his wallet and key fob from the end of his dresser.

“What have you been up to tonight?” Timo asks, wanting to hear his daughter speak more.

“Um, we ate pizza. And watched a movie. And um… played a card game.”

“Okay, what kind of pizza did you have?”

“Cheese.”

“Did you eat any vegetables?”

“No.”

“Mama is gonna be bummed.”

“Yeah.” Livy whispers, more breathlessly.

“So, whats going on? Is everyone sleeping?” He takes a different approach as he turns out of their neighborhood, heading East.

“No.”

“Who’s awake then?”

“Lara’s mom and dad.”

“Is Lara asleep?”

“Mhm.”

“What are they doing?”

“Fighting.” Her word begins to wobble at the end.

“Are you scared, baby?”

“Yes, daddy.”

“It’s okay, I’m on my way.”

“Don't… do anything when you get here. Please.” She begs him.

“Livy,” Timo begins calmly. “When I get there, I want you to come out of the house with your stuff and get into the car. You and I are going to talk privately. Then I’ll take care of it from there.”

“Daddy, no.”

“Baby, there are some things daddy’s have to do to protect their little girls. I’m two minutes out. Are you packed up?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, come to the front door.” Timo requests. He can hear a door open, shuffling as Liv grabs her things. Then the phone clunks loudly. “Baby? You okay?”

“Yes, I dropped the phone.”

“Okay, just making sure.”

Timo turns onto the street of Lara’s house, easily picking it out in it’s illuminated spot. He pulls into the driveway as Livy opens the door. He watches as she rushes out to his car, clearly relieved to see him. She throws her stuff in the back seat, then gets into the passenger seat where she immediately reaches for her dad.

“You’re safe.” He murmurs into her hair, holding her little body over the center console. He rubs his hand over her back in long strokes as he feels her hot tears hit his neck.

“Thank you for coming to get me.”

“I will always come for you.” He tucks her hair behind her ear. She sucks in a heavy breath. In the doorway of the house, Lara’s mom stands, coming out to wait outside the door, trying to see into the car. “It’s Liv’s dad. I’ll come up in a moment.” Timo calls out the window. “What happened?”

“They were fighting really loud when I had to go to the bathroom. And it… it sounded like maybe someone fell over. Like a big bang or something and then someone was crying and I got scared. I don’t know, daddy, maybe I heard wrong.”

“Okay. Hang tight, babe.” Timo steps out of the car, stuffing his hands into his pockets, then glancing back at Livy who is wide-eyed like a frightened doe watching him round the car.

“Is she okay?” Lara’s mom asks with concern.

“Yeah, she wasn’t feeling well so she called me to come pick her up.” Timo lies for her. He looks over her face, seeing red, rashy streaks across her cheeks like a hand hit her. Her eyebrow looks like it is slightly beginning to swell. Timo frowns, trying to see around her into the house. He doesn’t see anyone. “Everything okay here?”

“Ah… Yes.” She looks taken aback.

“Okay, because if you’re not okay, I’m happy to come in.” She shakes her head slightly and Timo knows what Livy heard was correct.

“I’m very sorry.” She whimpers. “I understand if you won’t allow Livia to be friends with Lara anymore.” Tears are in her eyes. Timo knows Livy is Lara’s only friend and some of the why of that is starting to make sense.

“If Livia would like to stay friend with Lara, she can. But you understand we will not allow her to come here again.” She nods, wiping tears away, clearly ashamed. “Lara is welcome over at our home whenever.”

“Thank you.” She swallows. “You should go.”

“I don’t have to. We can call someone. My wife can come grab Liv.”

“No.” She shakes her head. Gloom grips Timo’s gut. He can sense the fear and the stubbornness that comes along with that fear. He doesn’t know this women well enough to know if he should push harder. So he sighs, then nods.

“Take care.” Timo says, stepping backwards, then turning to his daughter. Her little blue eyes track him across the hood again. “Ready to go home?” He murmurs once he gets inside.

“Am I in trouble?” Livy has tears in her eyes.

“No, baby.” Timo reaches for hand, giving it a squeeze.

“Is Lara going to be in trouble? She gets really afraid of being in trouble. I don’t want-“

“Livy, it’s going to be okay.” Anger flares in his chest. He is so pissed that Livy had to be exposed to something as dark as this.

Livy and him ride home in silence. He keeps her small hand in his the whole way back. After parking in the garage, Timo turns the car off. He looks over at Livy who is staring straight ahead, clearly distraught.

“Was I right?” Timo sighs, then nods. “You would never hit Mama.” It’s a statement, not a question.

“No, baby.” Timo whispers sincerely in confirmation. “Or you. Or your brothers. It’s not okay.”

“I’m scared.”

“That’s okay, baby. It’s scary. But you are safe.” Timo soothes. “Mama and I are going to talk about it. We’ll figure something out to make sure Lara and her mom are safe. You don’t need to worry about it.” Even as he says that, he knows it isn’t realistic. Not for his sweet, empathetic Livy. His eyes trail over her features. She looks so small and young tonight with her stick on earrings falling off and her pink pajama set with unicorns on it. He wants to become a shield for her- mentally, physically, and emotionally.

He knows he won’t be able to do that for her forever. And tonight, Livy lost some of her innocence because of what she heard. His heart aches with that knowledge. A whisper of failure makes the hair on the back of his neck stand straight up.

“Let’s get you to bed.” Livy stares at him. “Yes, you can sleep with mama and I.”

A small smile spreads her lips, showing off the characteristic she got from Emma. Livy waits for Timo inside the house, then throws her little arms around his waist. He reaches down, picking her up and carrying her upstairs while she rests her head on his shoulder. They come into the master bedroom where Emma is up, watching TV. Timo is not surprised; he knows how she worries. Emma opens her arms for their daughter, snuggling her into their pillows and comforter while Timo changes back into his pajamas. Then he joins his girls in bed.

He will give Emma the run down tomorrow.

Tonight, the only thing he needs to do is hold his girls.

#tm: loving & leaving

- in 2015 Meghan to become some sort of ambassador for ireland (lol this was so weird but this started right around the time she got with Fitzpatrick. Her agent really milked this one. It's around this time she did the interview with Craig Ferguson)

- in 2019/2020 Meghan to enter politics, run for president. This one was strong in 2020/21 but I think she has now lost interest.

- in 2014/2015 Meghan to host a travel and food show. She really tried hard for this one back in her TiG days and gave the impression that she had this. In reality she may have been coopting Cory's life.

- in 2019/2020 meghan to become ambassador/patron of US open. PR also suggested Meghan now might get Wimbledon from Catherine because Serena was her best friend.

PS: the things I've mentioned have all, at some point, been mentioned in articles, not just online rumours.

There was also the PR that they were going to get York Cottage AND Adelaide Cottage as wedding presents.

Plus...

Meghan will be presenting at the Oscars (2019 - 2022).

Meghan will be awarded the Family Order (2018)

Meghan will be given the Victoria Cross (2019)

Meghan and Harry to move into Windsor Castle (2018-2019)

Meghan and Harry to move into apartment 1 in KP (2017-2018)

Meghan and Harry to be given US tour (2018-2019)

more emma 'verse lore, now featuring tig, @steves-strapcollection's oc!

i think in this au, they live in nashville. wayne is still in hawkins and you can bet your bottom dollar he hauled ass down there the second eddie called and said the baby was coming. made the 9 hour drive in 7, he's got a grandbaby to meet

they announce emma's arrival on all their socials with pictures they've taken themselves, but the one posted to the official band pages is of emma from the neck down wearing a pink corroded coffin onesie

im imagining that steve still wants to have a maternity (paternity, in this case) photoshoot, but instead of a traditional one, its just a bunch of candids shot by the band's tour photographer. one is a black and white photo of steve standing in a hotel room bathroom brushing his teeth while wearing his boxers and one of eddie's tshirts with the baby bump clearly visible

the band calls her their little buddy but tig calls her butthead (affectionately)

she couldn't say tig's real name right so he just became "tig" to her.

there was an old post mentioning the boys taking her to build-a-bear, which is where tig makes her her own tigger plushie bc she's always cuddling his

she calls him "tig" for now but when she starts speaking more and starts recognizing people is when she'll probably add on the uncle. then when she's school age it'll probably go back to tig bc she wants to be Cool

eddie and steve are both fun and cool dads in their own ways but she's their first child. their baby. they're a tad bit overprotective and hellicopter-y. so when tig (literal 6'6 slenderman) starts letting her sit on his shoulders, they're closely following behind them with their hands out in case she falls (as if tig isn't literally holding both of her hands so she stays upright)

steve and eddie dress her equallly girly and boyish. rn her onesies and outfits consist of bright colors with disney characters on them. i like the idea of corroded coffin all on an outing together dressed in dark colors while carrying a child who looks like crayola threw up on her.

she starts picking out her own outfits (they never match) when she's around 4 and she always makes sure to pick out a tutu.

she has a pigtail phase and she only wants eddie to do it

@sentient-trash did a little doodle of emma and tig that i'm so so so in love with and have been staring at for 5 hours now (featuring emma's tigger plushie)

Lost Time

Ryan Erzahler x AFAB reader

💕College AU💕

AN: This hasn’t been proofread, edited, NOTHING. Just my thought dump. I love Ryan so much. I promise I’ll write for the others! He’s just my Hyperfixation rn 😅😅. Warnings: 18+ only! Minors DNI! Hair pulling, biting, cowgirl position, unprotected sex. Word Count: 732 (it’s a short little one shot🤧) Fluff if you squint!

The stress of college life was putting you a bit on edge. So this car ride home with your boyfriend is just what you needed. His large hand was resting comfortably on your full thighs, head bobbing along to the music. It’s moments like these where you learn to take time to appreciate it. Doin Time by Lana Del Rey softly playing in the background. You could’ve sworn you heard him singing along to the chorus, but you weren’t sure. So, you opted to smile softly to yourself. Internally thanking Dylan for making a playlist for you. The more time you spent together, the more your music tastes began to meld together.

“What?” His smile widens as he glances over atyou. “Nothing, you just look happy.”

He furrows his eyebrows in confusion, “Okay? I’m always happy when I’m with you.” As long as you both have been together, and as many times as he says it, you always get butterflies. The rest of the drive to your apartment you shared with Emma and Abi was spent with you both singing along to whatever song was playing. He hold his hand palm up in your thigh, signaling for you to take it. “Oh, if I must,” you roll your eyes playfully at his small pout.

It wasn’t too long before you were pulling up to the complex. The short, but relaxing journey has come to an end. “I kinda don’t want you to go yet,” Ryan cups your cheek in his hand. Pulling you in for a gentle kiss. You both hum at the pacing of the kisses. Speeding up just enough to build some tension. “It doesn’t have to,” you reply in between kisses. “Yeah? Wanna take this to the backseat?”

All you had to do was bat your lashes at him and he was putty in your hands. He unbuckles his seatbelt and follows you to the back. Of course, not before letting your seats up to make room. Always the gentleman, he is. The return to the kiss as also met with sweaty palms this time. Though there was no need to be nervous, he felt a bit guilt. Breaking the kiss he interjects, “actually, do you wanna take this to a b-bed? I feel kinda bad.”

“No baby, it’s fine. This’ll be fun.”

He couldn’t argue with you while you had those plump, glossy lips. Straddling him with those pretty thighs that we’re getting him to knead at them. He quickly pulls his jeans down just below his waist. You both moving as if there wasn’t enough time, you pull your panties to the side.

Eye contact doesn’t break as you slowly lower yourself onto his length. You both hiss in tandem. You a mix of pain and pleasure. As for Ryan, he was trying not to cum right then and there. He hurries his face into your neck to control himself. “Look at me while I ride you, baby.” And he did just that. His calloused hands were lazily placed on your hips as you rocked back and forth. Effectively rubbing your clit against his pelvis. He throws his head back in pleasure as you begin to move up and down. “F-fuck baby,” he cups your face once again, only this time, he puts his thumb in your mouth. Which you accept eagerly. You control your steady pace, every once in a while, moving your hips again. He removes his thumb from your mouth, only to place it gently on your clit. Obscene curses and moans leave both of your lips as you ride him. He puts his face back into your neck, breathing heavily and panting. Your pleasure always came before his. Your hands instinctively pulling at his curls as his canines graze your neck. “You can pull my hair baby, don’t be shy.” He moans as your tugging on his curls get harder. “Harder Baby,” he wraps both arms around your waist. Feeling himself getting closer to the edge. The coil in your lower belly winding and tightening until it snaps. Making you cum around his cock. Him grip on your waist doesn’t falter as he bucks his hips up into you. Letting you ride out your orgasm as he, no doubt, finishes himself. He has a goofy smile plastered onto his face as he looks up at you, “thank you baby. I needed that.” “Me too, makin up for lost time.”

Emma Weymouth's life by u/Feisty_Energy_107

Emma Weymouth's life Thanks to the Sinner who posted about Emma (the Marchioness of Bath) and her line products earlier. It got me thinking of Meghan's vision of her life, even post working Royal being similar to the Marchioness of Bath. Emma has a title (aristocratic), and a stately and famous home, valued at £160m. Her name opens doors for her. She's into fashion and is super-connected. She is also an Ambassador for Tusk and various other charity campaigns.Recently Emma, is now Hello Magazine's new Social Editor at Large. https://ift.tt/Qzm4JtD SafariWe all know Meghan craves a proper ballgown wearing moment. Perhaps for a cover of magazine, instead of a cinema. https://ift.tt/29JBdQ1, was a contributing editor for British Vogue, is good friends with Edward Ennifield and wrote about her time at Cannes Film Festival in 2022. An Tig on speed. QUOTE: “I dash to my room and immediately strip to try on the eight gowns that have been sent ahead. Up to the Chopard Lounge next, for sumptuous poached salmon, king prawns, octopus and crispy rice. Elaine Foran, my dear friend and manager, takes some cheese and a chocolate mousse (of which she has one bite before I finish it off), then it’s over to the Fort Knox-like chamber to select jewellery, CCTV on all sides. I choose the most classic pieces, as I know we’ll be changing at least twice. I dash to La Perla, where two very austere French ladies fit me with invisible pieces to wear beneath my diaphanous Dolce & Gabbana lilac chiffon gown at the premiere of Elvis.” https://ift.tt/0SY8LDf Multi-tasking is the name of the game in Cannes, as we squeeze in a campaign shoot – in a Celia Kritharioti two-piece ball dress – before snaking down to Hotel du Cap for one of the biggest fundraising events of the year (tonight’s AmFAR Gala.) I chose red Dolce & Gabbana for this evening to pair with my beyond brilliant gems.” “Christina Aguilera is fashionably late to the stage for her performance, but her powerful vocals raise the roof, and bring joy to the millennial hearts of those of us who grew up singing “Genie in a Bottle”. Sabrina Elba, Neelam Gill and I form our own dance troupe, then head off into the night before everyone jets out of this bubble back to reality in the morning. Merci, Cannes. À la prochaine fois!” post link: https://ift.tt/kEsb6At author: Feisty_Energy_107 submitted: April 17, 2024 at 03:56PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

How Alyssa Chang Found A Home.

Rebekah Mikaelson had been alive for over a thousand years and in all that time she had very few wishes. She wanted love, a husband. She wanted someone who would love her no matter what. And she wanted a child. She wanted children of her own. That much was always a wish of hers. When she was human it was a given, that she would be wed and give her husband sons. But fate had other plans for her. As a vampire she couldn't bear children. Nik had adopted Marcel, but Rebekah always thought it a great risk with Mikael hunting them down. She couldn't bring a child to such environment.

It was different now. She and Marcel had a home, even if it didn't feel like one. No one was hunting her. She was supposed to be at peace. Happy.

She wasn't.

She loved Marcel, always had, but something was missing. Her family. How very painful it was to be away from them. She couldn't be in the same room as her brothers or niece and nephew. Yes, they had phones—handy inventions those—, but it was not the same. And Elijah was no longer present, his memories erased. Elijah had always been there. And now he wasn't.

But it was not just that. It was her foolish human dreams as well. A child. Sometimes she caught herself thinking there were too many empty rooms in the house. Naively believing they could just adopt an orphan.

Is what Nik did, isn't it?

Different circumstances. But more dangerous as well. Why couldn't she do the same?

–Bekah – her love's voice tore her away from her thoughts – Is everything alright?

Rebekah was sitting on the window ledge, her gaze directed at the estate that surrounded the house. It was dark outside and a cool breeze came through the open window. The living room was empty, the huge room painted in white saddened her. It felt like an echo of her own heart. Almost empty.

She pushed herself back inside with her arms and closed the window behind her. Marcel was worried. He was always so attentive.

–Just thoughts – she shook her head and forced a smile.

–Ey, none of that – he said reaching for her hand, holding it in-between his – Tell me what's wrong.

–It's foolish – she said but the worry in his eyes compelled her to say more – I...you know I have always wanted a child. I thought that maybe now that things are calm...

Marcel smiled at her, one of those dazzling smiles of his that always lifted her spirits. Rebekah found the strength to smile back. It was genuine this time.

Bonnie rubbed her temples. She could feel a headache coming and the argument was not over. Not even close.

–She is a kid – the witch repeated tired.

Alaric's office was lit up only by a lamp over the desk. The shadows of her, Alaric and Caroline occupied the walls. It was night and she wanted to go home to Ivan. But they weren't done. Sometimes she thought she shouldn't have accepted the job at the Salvatore School. Many times. But if she hadn't things would be way worse than they were now. Alaric and Caroline were not made for running a school with supernatural kids. Their first instinct when a kid did something bad or broke a rule, was to lock them up. And Bonnie didn't have a degree in education, but she knew that they shouldn't be doing that.

–She is putting people in danger – Alaric began again – It's best for her to-

–To take away her memories? – Bonnie scoffed at him – You can't do that. Not without her consent and not until she is an adult.

–She keeps picking fights with Lizzie and Josie – her friend argued – Now using magic. No matter what we say she keeps doing it, and it's not like we can send her somewhere else. She has no family.

Alyssa Chang had accidentally burned down her house a few years back. Her parents died in the fire. She was a powerful, deeply traumatized, nine year-old witch. It was a explosive combination. Still, it was not within their rights to steal her memories.

–What is Emma's opinion?

Emma Tig was the psychologist of the school, she attended all the kids. Bonnie thought they should hire another one, Emma was overwhelmed with all the work. Pretty much all the kids in the school had some kind of issue or trauma and they all went to her. The poor woman almost didn't have any time to herself.

–Same as always, Alyssa is uncooperative – Alaric sighed – Bonnie this is our only choice.

–I said no!

–But you are not in charge here! – Alaric barked making her recoil– We are.

Bonnie looked at Care, her eyes wide. Her friend said nothing, did nothing. Alaric's rage issues were nothing new. During the last year she had seen him angry and yelling more than she ever had. But it was never directed towards her or Care. Until now.

Alaric made no attempt to apologise. Caroline didn't move a muscle. Bonnie exhaled and left the room. It was not her office either way. And she was not in the mood for arguing more. She had one thing to focus on and that was not Alaric or Caroline, it was Alyssa Chang.

If someone adopted her Caroline and Alaric wouldn't be her tutors, she reasoned, and if they aren't they can't erase her memories.

Easier said than done. People didn't usually want to adopt children, they wanted babies. And Alyssa was a problematic child. A problematic child with too much power.

As Bonnie closed the door of her office, her phone started to buzz. Esme's smiling face appeared on the screen. She picked it up.

–Hey, cousin – Esme greeted – Are you home?

–No. Too much going on at the moment – she sighed –Alyssa again.

–Poor kid. What has she done now?

–Alaric and Caroline want to erase her memories.

–That's fucked up. I'm not surprised though. See, is a good thing that I didn't send my boy there.

Yeah, Bonnie agreed mentally.

–Do you know anyone who would want to adopt a troubled young witch?

She wasn't expecting the answer.

–Actually....

Alyssa was being adopted. Or that was what Doctor Saltzman and Mrs. Salvatore told her. She didn't know who would want to adopt her or why. After what she did to her parents.

My fault.

Did they know? Had they told them? They couldn't know, if they had they wouldn't want her. No one would.

She walked to the common room, Mrs. Bennett was walking behind her. She was always very kind to Alyssa. No one else cared for her like she did. Mrs. Bennett told her that she was going to be adopted by a couple of vampires. She supposed they were good vampires, but the nervousness in Mrs. Bennett's face made her doubt.

It was better if they weren't good. Maybe they were planning to eat her. Maybe she deserved it.

In the common room Doctor Saltzman and Mrs. Salvatore sat on the couch next to a man and a woman. The woman was blonde, tall and very pretty, she smiled at Alyssa. The man was good-looking too, and he also smiled at Alyssa. It made her blush, having everyone's eyes on her.

–Alyssa, these are Rebekah and Marcel – Mrs. Bennett introduced them – This is Alyssa.

Marcel had very kind eyes and a bright smile. Rebekah was softer, in a way she couldn't explain. And they looked at her like one would at an injured kitten.

They don't know.

She smiled back.

They took Alyssa home with them during the summer. Marcel thought it fast, but apparently it was an emergency. According to Esme, at least. And he was also adopted in the spot, taken home to the Mikaelsons the same day they met. He did the same with Davina when he rescued her from the Harvest. Maybe it was just a family thing. Express adoptions.

Alyssa certainly didn't complain. Not about that. The kid had a temper, she was snarky and didn't trust them yet. Marcel thought she was going to fit in perfectly. Only three months with them and she was already talking back without thinking twice. He had taken longer to do that. But the situations were different.

Rebekah and him were told of what happened to her parents. How Alyssa lost control of her powers. But Bekah and him were both indestructible, so they had an advantage. When they told her that, Alyssa had relaxed noticeably. She blamed herself for what happened to her parents. The poor kid.

Despite Alyssa's behaviour, how snarky she was, they hadn't really bonded with her. They couldn't. For a nine year old she put very thick walls around herself. No matter what they tried, she wouldn't communicate with them. He wondered if she thought they were going to give her back. Probably.

God, this whole situation is messy as fuck.

Marcel had taken Davina under his care, but she had been fifteen at the time. Alyssa was nine. Nine. A year younger than he had been when he met his father. He thought it would be easier. That's on him.

And so three months in, he called his father. They talked more than once a week, but Marcel never called Klaus to ask for advice. Most of his advices ended up with blood or started with blood. But he really couldn't think of anyone else who could help him in that particular situation.

–Marcellus? It's quite late here – Klaus told him after answering his phone.

Marcel snorted.

–Yeah, because you were sleeping.

–I could have been – he protested in an almost childish way –Is everything alright?

He had complained —Klaus's words— to him about the Alyssa's situation a lot on the past three months. Rebekah did too. But not once he asked for advice. He mostly asked Esme and Hayley about that, not that anything they said worked with Alyssa. But things were pretty different between them and their children.

–I'm worried – he confessed – She won't say anything. Won't communicate. The poor kid probably thinks we are going to give her back to Saltzman. What do I do?

Surprisingly, his father didn't need to think about it too much before answering him.

–Find something you have in common with her. Talk to her. And have patience. You are definitely better at that than I am – he joked.

Patience. He could do that.

When Marcel hung up the phone he left it over the kitchen counter, distracted by the sound of footsteps. They weren't Rebekah's. It was Alyssa who appeared in the kitchen, quiet and barely addressing him with anything other than a nod. Things in common.

Like what?

–You know, I was adopted too – he said watching her.

She was searching for something to eat, opening the drawers when he spoke. Alyssa tilted her head at him. Seemingly debating whether let her curiosity guide her or not.

–Really? – she allowed, letting her curiosity win.

Marcel smiled. Small victories.

–Yeah. I was only a year older than you when my father adopted me. Back in the 19th century – he clarified – I didn't know anything about vampires at the time.

Alyssa seemed to be considering his words.

–A vampire adopted you? – she stopped going through the drawers to sit on a chair.

–Yeah. It was actually Rebekah's brother, Klaus.

Alyssa frowned. Something he said confused her.

–Doesn't that make Rebekah your aunt?

Marcel cringed. Yeah. Kinda.

–It's complicated – he said – Anyway, I was pretty nervous. I mean this, man who wanted to adopt me was rich and powerful. But I...I was terrified. I thought that if I did something wrong he would send me back.

A flash of understanding appeared in Alyssa's eyes, afterwards they turned glassy.

–But he didn't – she whispered.

Marcel shook his head.

–He didn't. And we won't.

It was a promise. She was family now.

Marcel got along with Alyssa. It was no surprise, he was always good with kids. Rebekah was happy for them, truly. It was good for them both. But she hadn't connected with Alyssa yet. For much that she liked kids and wanted them, she wasn't used to being around them. No one let their kids around vampires.

Maybe that was why Alyssa and her didn't get along. They were polite, kind to each other. But that was it. Even when Rebekah offered something she rejected it.

That doesn't mean I stop trying.

She walked pass her bedroom. The room had little decoration despite Alyssa having been there for nearly seven months. Rebekah offered to take her shopping, to buy stuff to decorate and paint for the walls. She declined. Alyssa was sitting in front of the dresser trying to braid her hair. Trying and failing.

–Do you need any help? – she asked stepping inside the room.

Alyssa tensed and shook her head. She looked at Rebekah's reflection in the mirror, not turning around.

–No, thanks.

–Are you sure? – the vampire pressed – I used to do it a lot while growing up, for my mother and brothers..

That made her turn on her chair to look at Rebekah with a frown.

–Your brothers wore braids?

The blonde chuckled. Sometimes she forgot how odd that might sound to someone that only knew the 21st century.

–It was the fashion back then.

Alyssa seemed to consider her for a moment before nodding and turning to the mirror. Rebekah grabbed another chair and placed it behind Alyssa so that she could braid her hair easier. She hadn't done that in a while. The vampire sat on the chair and grabbed the hairbrush to brush her hair before styling it.

–Did your mother teach you? – asked the little witch.

Rebekah was not overly fond of talking about Esther, but that time she allowed it.

–My mother gave away my elder sister, Freya, when she was four – she brushed her hair gently – Growing up she used to tell me how she always wanted daughters, but she rarely talked about Freya. My mother taught me many things, to cook, to sew, that kind of things.

Alyssa was silent afterwards, her mouth pressed in a thin line.

–My mother died because of me – she whispered with a broken voice and teary eyes.

Rebekah ceased her motions, putting the hairbrush down.

–That was not your fault – gently, Rebekah placed her hands over Alyssa's shaking shoulders – It wasn't. You lost control, you didn't mean to.

–But I-

–Not your fault – Rebekah repeated firmly but kindly –Sometimes we loose control of our abilities and do things we don't want to. It has happened to me.

Alyssa wiped her eyes as if she was ashamed of crying.

–Really?

–I...well, had a "crush" on a boy and...It was just days after I was turned, I found him skinning a deer. He was surprised to see me and cut his hand – Rebekah inhaled sharply – I couldn't control myself. You didn't kill your parents Alyssa, you lost control. That was not your fault.

The witch's eyes were red and brimming with tears, she could see through the mirror. Alyssa sniffed and nodded, her heartbeat slowing down. Silently, Rebekah returned to brushing her hair.
