#OTD in 1922 – In reprisal for the executions, Liam Lynch, Anti-Treaty IRA Commander, issues a general order to his forces to kill members of the Dáil (T.D.s) and senators who had voted for the Emergency Powers legislation.
In response to the executions, on 30 November, Liam Lynch, Chief of Staff of the Anti-Treaty IRA, ordered that any member of Parliament (TD) or senator who had signed or voted for the ‘murder bill’ should be shot on sight. He also ordered the killing of hostile judges and newspaper editors. On the same day, three more Republican prisoners were executed in Dublin. On 7 December, Anti-Treaty IRA…

Charlotte post NOW (/j only if u want!!)
Tumblr media
AHHH charlotte jumpscare!!!!!!!
im not sure what SPECIFICALLY to post abt her bc this ask is a little vague, BUT i do think abt her a lot!!! tho i DO gotta think about her more, she is a WONDERFUL character
bc idk what specifically, my interpretation of her post canon and WHY (also under a readmore because WOW!! i had apparently a lot to say abt her):
i think!!! she is a LOT more mellow after she gets home. like in one 16 after shes respawned its like. she seems to be friendlier? which. i think has to do w like... i dont think she was a bad person really, and i dont think shed been acting Maliciously, but when it came to having friends i think it was really easier for her to genuinely take things as worst as they could be. we dont actually get much of her backstory, so its up to interpretation as to WHY, but i think she genuinely struggled with being distrustful of those close to her. she likes them, that much is clear, but trusting people is a whole other thing
but i think she really DID view her friends as pitying her. as not respecting her, even when they werent Being cruel. they were concerned for her safety, and how her recklessness was affecting her. and i think that can end up walking a line between pity and not wanting your friends to do things that are pretty unambiguously dangerous, and what was very standard friendship ended up feeling a lot MORE like they didnt respect her or her choices
and i think what changes this is that. she DID die. and i think that contextualized for her that her friends werent concerned because they thought she couldnt handle herself, but because they just Generally care abt her yknow? as fucked up as her dying is, i think it did ultimately make her realize that THIS is what her friends were worried about. they didnt want THIS to happen to her, and i think in an odd way? it kinda made her. idk understand? trust? the people around her more. like in a 'oh, people around me dont only care about me for selfish reasons, or cruel reasons. they care because they CARE' way
and i think that, and the fact that she says that shed been thinking about this a lot? i feel like it kinda all forced her to slow down and WANT to talk to the people around her. because shed been pushing them all away because what was the point in talking to them? and i think once she REALLY noticed how amelia was doing, after thinking so much about all this, it kinda MADE her want to amend things. or at the very least, to talk to people more. shes isolated herself long enough, and its now more than ever that she realizes how much others meant to her in the first place.
(i think in some aspects, amelias method of coping also bothered her. amelias coping mechanisms werent necessarily BAD, theyre not good by real-world standards, but given the situation shes in, it was just... once of the few ways she COULD cope. but i think the flaws in this method of coping really came through once airy came back, because in forgetting everything about who she used to be, earth became a very daunting place, but now that airys back, any amount of feeling like home the plane may have unfortunately gained was completely undone. and i think charlotte actually SEES that, and its not the exact same as her own struggles, but i think she WANTS to help amelia, because she of all people knows how the feeling of being isolated, either on purpose or accident, can feel Extremely Awful. that, and she knew amelia before things on the plane got REALLY bad, and she SAW (since ive seen people note that she!!! was watching amelia do yoga w the others) amelia gradually give up, become comfortable, and then LOSE all of that
and i think, at least right before bryce showed up, it felt fucked up that charlotte WAS the only other person from the same world as amelia and theyd!!! never even spoken about it??? (like how she comments that they NEVER told each other their names. which only applies to her and amelia. that statement was intended very specifically towards amelia) and its like. i think it mightve made her a bit 'no WONDER shes not doing well. even if shes trying to act like she is' (which i dont even think amelia is doing to deflect so much as an attempt at 'if i pretend its ok it WILL be ok right?'))
and!!! once getting home i think this would all really lead her to be a bit more patient with others. i dont think the distrust would STOP being an issue, but i think such a terrible experience causing her to completely recontextualize the actions of those around her would actually help, at least a little . i dont actually know if i think shed stay friends w parker and that friend group, but i think theyd at the least keep in touch. parker clearly, even when they were arguing, STILL cared about her, and i think seeing her disappear probably was. a bit haunting, and so i think at the very least hed like to know shes Okay
also whenever people have the characters live together post canon, they only ever include bryce liam and amelia, and i GET why!!! charlotte didnt really interact w them for a looong time. but after charlotte is revived i actually see her as talking with them yknow? i dont think shed stop talking to them again, and i think her talking with amelia was a genuine attempt to help!! so i think theyd stick together. i dont imagine liam actually gets closer with any of the contestants while hes trying to send them home (tho i dont think it worsens substantially either. i think it just sorta. stays where it is? and if he did have notable interactions with any of them, itd PROBABLY be mainly w amelia and bryce, tho i dont think he DOESNT talk to charlotte too! he just has a diff sort of connection w those to, based on the experiences he Shared w them) so i think he isnt SUPER close w charlotte, but i think the others may become WAY closer w her!!! so i think if they all moved in together? that WOULD include charlotte!!! (that, and i think charlotte would also develop a sort of respect for liam . because he kinda DOES display exactly the type of traits she didnt really see people as having!!! going to EXTREME lengths to help people, including HER! so i think shed generally have many thoughts on him)
anyway !!! thats it the point is that as much as one would fuck charlotte up in her own way, i think, similar to how bryce tried to get his life together after he was first eliminated, shed similarly end up having a better ability to navigate social stuff in not such a pessimistic way as before!!!!!

boy in love // clement novalak (mini fic)
summary: when marcus asks clem about the current state of his love life, they were all pretty shocked at the frenchman's answer
warnings: mentions of sex/kinks, nothing too explicit. clement is just a boy in love <3
author's note: this is so fucking self indulgent bye-
Tumblr media
"so, clem, how's y/n?" james harvey blair is the first to ask, popping another bottle of wine open. they hadn't started filming yet, the boys wanted a chance to catch up before they brought the cameras and the microphones out.
"she's good. great, actually. she had some stuff she needed to get done today, but i'm going to see her tonight. we're going book shopping, and then getting dinner." the trident driver hummed, reaching for his wineglass.
marcus armstrong coughed, choking on his drink. "you, in a bookstore? i don't even think i've ever seen you read an entire ladbible post!"
clement rolled his eyes as the guys around him laughed. "yeah, okay, laugh all you want. she was going to go on her own and meet me for dinner later but i insisted on joining her."
everybody had been shocked when clement met y/n. she was so shy and quiet and sweet, and clement was. . . well . . . clement. they had personalities that shouldn't have worked but somehow managed to meld together perfectly.
clement novalak was a boy in love. further in love, in fact, than marcus had ever seen him.
"yeah, but it's always the quiet ones, innit?" liam lawson raises an eyebrow, spreading himself out on the couch. "she's gotta be into something wild, otherwise she'd never be able to keep up with you."
they should have known that liam was going to make the conversation go there. it seemed to be the only part of having a relationship that liam was good at, as of late, with a different girl in each new city before he finally found one that put up with his shit for more than ten hours at a time.
"come on, mate. at the end of the day, that's not really any of our business, is it?" james tried in vain to shut the conversation down. "as long as clement is happy, we should be happy for him."
"it may shock you wankers to know," clement began, setting his glass on marcus' coffee table. "that i have mellowed out sexually since y/n and i have started going out."
"those are words i thought would never come out of your mouth." marcus says, finally taking a seat next to liam on the couch. "are you sure you're actually clem, not an alien from another planet?"
"very funny, armstrong. i'm serious. she's not really into anything, if i'm being honest. the first time we tried to take things a little rougher, when i tried to put a little bit of pressure on her throat, not much, just enough that we could both tell it was there, you should have seen the panic in her eyes. and i just knew that i never wanted to be the person who made her feel like that again."
"does it not get boring?" liam gawked
clement shook his head. "we have our ways of keeping it fun."
"care to share it with the group?"
clem laughed. "i'm not sure how much she's comfortable sharing, mate. i'm not trying to cross any boundaries here. but i'll precursor it with this: have you ever worn silk boxers before?"
the laughter in the room was so loud that marcus wondered if he might get noise complaints. clement wasn't sure what was so funny, but the sheer look of horror on liam's face was enough to make him burst out into laughter along with everyone else.
"i'm serious, mate. she goes wild for that sort of cliché romance kind of stuff. this feels different than every other girl i've bene with has. it's more than just a physical thing when we fuck. it's like we're making love, it's a spiritual thing. i have never felt so emotionally close to another person before."
"and that's called character development." james remarked, reaching for the wine bottle. "does anyone want another glass?"
"i think i'm going to need one if this conversation keep going." liam jokes
"please tell me that she at least gives a decent blowie."
clement's face flushed pink. "dude, i am not answering that! why are all of your questions about sex, seriously? wouldn't you rather hear about how warm and fuzzy i feel when i wake up with her in my arms, or how my knees go weak when she smiles? or about how my perception of an awesome friday night has changed from getting shitfaced with you lot to curling up with her on the couch, sharing a bowl of pretzel chips and watching criminal minds re-runs? or how content and relaxed i feel listening to her read her books out loud?"
especially when the romance books get smutty, he thinks, but doesn't say it out loud. those are always the page numbers he remembers so that they can try reenacting the scenes together later.
james and marcus shared a knowing look. it was a feeling that they knew well.
the feeling of being utterly and madly in love.
"i think i'm in love with her, man. no, wait. i don't think it."
"i know it."

pls write some loscar abo plsplspls I love your writing so much it’s just so sad and wonderful and makes me feel way to many emotions; but I will take literally anything just omega Logan brainrot is getting to me 🙏🙏
stay slay girlypop
First, thank you so much! I really appreciate the compliments and it helps me create more :)
Second, of course! I’m not sure whether you want fluff or angst but just in case I did a light angst hurt comfort drabble so I hope this satisfies you! ⬇️⬇️
It was just approaching evening in Melbourne. The sky outside was bright orange, the sun hovering over the horizon, as if it was not yet ready to part to give way to night.
Along the coastline was a decently sized bungalow, with a white exterior and navy blue accents. Those had been per Logan’s request of course. While he certainly wasn’t the most stylish Omega, he had that instinctive ability for design that was in all of their natures, giving them the ability to create such impressive and intricate nests.
Said Omega was currently pouting inside his designated nesting room. It was fairly bare aside from a loft bed, a mini fridge stocked with water, a large plush rug, a wardrobe stocked with many soft items and more, and an en-suite bathroom.
While the loft bed had been a bit of a shock to Oscar at first, thinking the bed being that tall was surely dangerous to do certain activities on, it all made sense when Logan instead turned the open yet framed space of the bottom area to make what the Alpha believed was the world's most comfortable nest.
It was more similar to a tent than anything. Soft blankets separated the private area inside from the open space of the room. Lining the floor were multiple blankets and clothes that had been braided together with the utmost care and precision. Lining the bottom of the ‘walls’ of the fort were many soft and fluffy pillows, adding an extra layer of cushion.
It was so extravagant compared to any textbook nest Oscar had seen, or even those that other Omegas had constructed for the grid packs like Liam and even Max.
When he took some time to think about it, the Alpha realized Logan almost never built nests for the pack, always choosing to just find a spot in one that was already put together.
Oscar had never questioned why of course. Nests were very sacred to Omegas. A place of comfort and stability. Questioning them on their behaviors about them was frowned upon in society. This was because it was believed that when a bond was secure enough, the Omega would open up on their own about their preferences.
This is what happened with Oscar and Logan.
The Alpha and Omega were cuddling in the American’s beautiful nest, a soft purr rumbling in both of their throats. Logan was curled into a tight ball, his hair soft and fluffy with no added product in it and his scent mellow and content. Slotted around his back was Oscar, the Australian acting as just another blanket in the nest as he shielded his Omega from the outside world.
It was private and domestic, a moment that was only shared between the mated pair. And Oscar was addicted to every second of it. In his sheer happiness he began nuzzling at the bite mark on Logan’s neck, rumbling contentedly as the American’s stubble lightly scratched his face.
Logan returned the affection by turning his head slightly and biting softly at the Australians nose, purring so loud he could have made an F1 Car put a run for its money.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke up.
“You’re the only person I ever wanted to experience this. I never wanted the others to be in my nest. Just you. My nests were just for me and you. I couldn’t stand the thought of another person joining us. Not in one of mine,” he mumbles quietly, a light growl in his words at the rather possessive comment.
Oscar nipped Logan’s bite mark affectionately, a soft smile on his face.
“I’m honored you feel that way. While it’s a shame the pack won’t get to experience your incredible nests, at least we get to enjoy them,” he hums, earning a huff from the Omega.
“I’ve actually been thinking of maybe constructing one for the pack. Now that I know I have you… Yknow?” He mumbles, cheeks flushing red at the admission despite the fact they’ve done a lot more intimate things than confess feelings.
Oscar grins widely at the reply, pushing his omega onto his back and nuzzling his neck happily, absolutely stinking the room up with proud and overjoyed alpha.
Logan was shaken out of his reminiscing and mourned at the slight wave of cold that washed over his body at the lack of warmth around his back.
He was painfully reminded of how he and Oscar had planned to spend the evening together before the American had to go to England for a week for some testing and training with Williams.
But, the Alpha was late. He had thankfully sent a text informing the Omega ahead of time that he would be running late, but that didn’t make him feel less lonely.
He wanted to spend as much time with his Alpha as he could before they were a good few time zones away from each other. But the universe wasn’t entirely fond of Logan Sargeant and it enjoyed seeing him endure trying times.
He sulked into the room once he had received the message, making sure the nest was perfect for when the other finally arrived. His scent was slightly sour with loneliness, his inner Omega needy with the anticipation of distance on his shoulders.
Once he had finished and was satisfied with the placement of the blankets and clothes, he curled up and settled in one of the corners that contained additional material. He clambered into the pile, burying himself completely with the surrounding softness but he still felt something missing, something that still made him shiver with cold.
If only Oscar would hurry up and come home so he could feel better.
As if the Alpha could read Logan’s thoughts, which… to be fair he kind of could through their bond, he suddenly hears the front door open and shut.
It took a couple more minutes before Oscar's chocolate coffee scent finally wafted into the room, slightly bitter with worry and stress at the smell of too sharp orange.
He strided over to the nest quickly, staying just by the edge of it as he huffed loudly to let the American know he was there, as if the increasing intensity of his scent didn’t give that away.
Logan poked his head out of the pile of blankets and pillows, snapping his teeth in frustration at his mate for his tardiness.
Oscar winced guiltily at the reaction, baring his neck and whining for his Omega’s forgiveness.
“I’m sorry Logie. Mark didn’t mean to keep me that long. He had forgotten that you were leaving for England tomorrow. As soon as we realized, I came here as fast as I could,” he explained truthfully, turning his gaze away from his upset mate and holding his arm out, his inner wrist facing up to let Logan smell.
The American snorted in displeased acceptance, wiggling out of the pile and sniffing at the soft, freckled skin of Oscar’s wrist. He glanced up at his mate, green eyes dark with annoyance and hurt, before nodding at his arm softly.
The Australian let out the breath he was holding at the response before yelping in surprise when Logan suddenly bit the area harshly, growling and dragging the Alpha into the nest.
Oscar went easily, wincing at the stinging pain of the bite mark at his wrist before being wrestled onto his back by the Omega. Logan pinned him down and bared his teeth, before heavily flopping on top of the Alpha and huffing.
Oscar shook his head and smiled fondly at his sassy fiery American, bringing his hand up to card through the slightly stiff hair of the Omega due to the styling product he used, trying to loosen it and mess it up a bit.
While the Australian did that, Logan loosened his clamp on his mate's wrist, licking at the wound softly and apologetically.
“Sorry for biting you… was just annoyed because I want to spend as much time with you before I’m forced to depend on dirty clothes to keep me going for the next week,” he says bitterly, as if he doesn’t love burying his face into one of Oscar’s well worn sweatshirts.
Oscar hums in response, shaking his head and nuzzling his nose into the Omega’s hair.
“Nah I deserved it. I should’ve been more aware of the time. I’m going to miss you just as much and I definitely want as much time as I can get as well. Sorry again for being late,” the Australian replied genuinely, rumbling as he allowed himself to relax with the weight of Logan on top of him.
After a few moments of silence aside from the quiet purring from the two, Oscar speaks up again.
“Besides, now I’ll have the bite mark to treasure while you’re gone,” he says cheesily, earning a smack on the forehead from Logan, who hugged at him fondly and wiggled contentedly.

I think one of the best things later seasons did was force Scott to become more mature than the kid he was in s1 and s2. For example, Liam.
Yes, he's an OBVIOUS parallel to being bitten without consent, and his fear of turning into a monster is even bigger than Scott's sometimes, but Scott now an alphaz KNOWS how to deal with it, and how to support him.
Mellowing Derek down and making him more of a team player concerned about the kids FIRST was also a good move.
this ask is so topical. forgive my star wars comparisons but i've been watching ahsoka.
i often consider the derek --> scott --> liam storyline to be comparable to that of a master and padawan relationship in a lot of ways. all their knowledge becomes your knowledge. the teacher's failures are the student's lessons.
i'm not the biggest fan of the last jedi but there are some really great moments especially the scene between luke and yoda.
"the greatest teacher failure is" and "we are what they grow beyond" applies heavily to the story of derek hale, scott mccall and liam dunbar.
the show even places a lampshade on this kind of connection early on when stiles makes the yoda joke in heart monitor.
all throughout season 1 derek is desperately trying to protect scott to varying levels of success. derek doesn't want scott to become him but derek is also clouded by anger and self-hatred at his younger self for his perceived failures and sins. scott despite his huge, glaring issues with male authority figures does learn from derek but it takes him a while to recognize that. derek is a convenient target for scott's anger at what happened to him.
their fear, their anger, their resentments are what they have to grow beyond with each other and that doesn't happen till around season 3.
season 3 even shines a spotlight on how young derek was a lot like scott.
visionary is one of the most important episodes of the entire series and does a lot of heavy lifting for the lore of the universe, the narrative of the season, the backstory of the hales, the relationships between characters -- like it's a juicy episode if only the fandom stopped taking peter and gerard's words as unadulterated truth.
it also gives us the most obvious parallel between derek and scott. i think it's pretty obvious they wrote the paige storyline knowing allison's fate. they wanted this parallel on purpose.
paige is bit without her consent and derek has to mercy kill her to spare her the slow and painful death the rejection of the bite is putting her through. derek did not do anything bad here. this was an act of compassion but it deeply traumatized and hurt derek.
while i do not believe derek's eyes changed color due to any sort of killing an innocent nonsense as peter suggests symbolically derek's innocence died with paige. it left a physical mark on him. she is there every time he shows his eyes. he carries her with him.
Tumblr media
allison in contrast to paige has agency in her choice. she willingly goes to save lydia and even ignores lydia's warning. she chooses to save isaac which leaves her open to being stabbed.
allison does not suffer a slow, painful death like paige. scott holds her in comfort and hears her last words.
allison's body wasn't removed and abandoned to be chalked up to an animal attack. scott gets held by his mother, isaac is taken in by chris whereas derek was left alone in the cellar and left to flounder in grief ripe for the picking by kate argent.
Tumblr media
so much of derek and scott's relationship is about reflection. they see each other like one only sees their flaws in a mirror. it's why their goodbye in smoke and mirrors is so important. it's acceptance, it's thank you, it's i'm sorry and it's goodbye and good luck.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
scott and stiles are a better version of derek and peter. they are less toxic but they have their issues. scott and stiles have a hard time with communication but there's co-dependency.
this brings us to liam dunbar. liam is a precious nugget but liam has derek's anger issues and scott's fear of becoming a monster.
if stiles and scott are a better version of derek and peter than liam and mason are a better version of all them.
it is liam who is able to overcome derek and scott's failures.
liam is able to reconcile with theo.
liam makes the effort to make peace with corey.
liam doesn't lose his first love.
liam overcomes derek and scott's failures and learns lessons from their mistakes.
with liam there's a lot of reprised beats that show how far these characters have come. teen wolf subscribes to george lucas's maxmum:
Tumblr media
scott bites liam without his consent but scott doesn't leave him like peter did him. scott tries to support him through the transformation even going as far as to try the whole "the bite is a gift" and "we're brothers now" on for size.
argent comes not to harm them but he saves them.
liam is the best of scott and derek.
derek even gets to gloat a little and have his obi-wan watching anakin deal with ahsoka moment
he is delighted.
Tumblr media
we rightfully rip into teen wolf for it's failures but one thing about the show that i think it did fairly well was demonstrate how the entire narrative revolves around generational trauma.
the derek, scott and liam relationship is an excellent example of it.
people say that scott doesn't grow as a character which is a lie. you don't have to like the trajectory of his character arc but he does have one. the show is about him growing up. it's about these kids dealing with the grief and trauma of their lives including that of growing up.
derek was stuck in his grief and anger for a long time. he had lost so much. derek's storyline i think isn't so much a growing up arc but rather one of choosing to live not just survive. scott forced him to confront the anger he carried at his younger self. to realize he was just a child and no one protected him.
derek had a choice.
derek is also a product of peter's lessons and teachings. i think he grapples with some of this in s2 where we see derek in his quote villainy era unquote.
instead derek chose to be a protector and he evolves. he is not peter. he is not kate. derek is not a monster others wanted him to become.
instead he inherits the gift of his mother and sister becoming more at peace with himself.
he is the person that paige loved and accepted. he is deserving of stiles's loyalty and affection.
but he can scare some kids on halloween as a treat.

Flanderization is the process in which a complex, fleshed out character gradually gets reduced to one or two traits through oversimplification. While present in varying degrees across certain Choices series, Flanderization is most present and potent in The Royal Romance/Heir/Finale.
Pre-Flanderization
MC: A newcomer to court who’s hella oblivious but incredibly resilient and willing to go out of her comfort zone for her friends. She is fiercely independent and free-spirited, something that each character she meets in Cordonia comes to respect her for. She has her silly and ditzy moments, but she's usually good at behaving in a relatively civilized manner when she needs to be. She is no stranger to hard work, and this greatly helps her adjust to courtly life.
Liam: A crown prince and eventual king as of book two who longs for freedom while also grappling with his role in the monarchy. He CONSTANTLY struggles with his desire for freedom and levity versus the leaden weight of the crown, though his sense of duty usually wins out in these internal battles. More than anything, even his own longing for freedom and independence, he wishes for the safety of his people and the prosperity of Cordonia.
Hana: A prodigy who has been forced into rigorous classes on etiquette and courtly skills since young childhood. She is remarkably talented, though incredibly humble, and is always happy to help teach others when they need assistance. She is very meek and doesn't like confrontation, and often struggles to stand up for herself, but ultimately grows stronger and more confident as the story progresses, eventually even standing up to her demanding parents. Ultimately, she wishes for the agency to choose her own path, whatever that may be.
Drake: A commoner who has long struggled with his place in the Cordonian court, regardless of his friendship with the prince and his father's service as a Guardian of the Realm. He is gruff and jaded from his negative experiences and poor treatment by nobles and royals, which only worsens when his sister disappears. He fears the prince will eventually forget about him, or worse, will be embarrassed by him, because he is merely a commoner. He is teased by his friends for his lack of courtly knowledge but does eventually take time to learn courtly customs for the sake of the prince's image. Regardless of these fears and his bitterness, he is a loyal friend with a heart of gold and a healthy dose of humility.
Maxwell: A younger brother to the Duke of Ramsford who feels he is a screw-up and believes he is rightfully overshadowed by his much more responsible brother. He is carefree and fun-loving and sometimes a little absent-minded, but he has moments of wisdom and true helpfulness sprinkled throughout. He is goofy when the occasion calls for it and is always happy to indulge in a wild party, but can just as easily embody seriousness and solemnity when need be.
Olivia: A catty duchess who clings to the prince as a result of his kindness to her during the most traumatic time of her life as a small child. She is devious, two-faced, and extremely petty, often starting arguments or going for low blows just because she can. She is not used to people standing up to her, which ultimately mellows her out, though she is still aggressive at times. Particularly pressing situations let her fierce loyalty to king and country as well as her competency in combat shine through despite her initial struggle with her identity as a Nevrakis, who are known for their betrayals and scheming.
Post-Flanderization
MC: Constantly flies by the seat of her pants and somehow makes it through the most dire situations unscathed. Her silly side stops being silly and starts being unapologetically idiotic. Of course, despite her bumbling nature, she's still seen as a dangerous threat by the Via Imperii, a top-secret society that has ruled parts of the world for over two millennia. (Flanderization began in TRR book 3)
Liam: Primary trait is his sense of duty to his kingdom and his people, yet his ability to rule and prevent chaos and upheaval is terrible. He has no competence to match his promises to his kingdom. (Flanderization began in TRH book 2)
Hana: She is still remarkably talented, but the extent of her talents grow to be utterly unrealistic. She also occasionally has instances of incredibly dark or violent dialogue that in no way fit with her character ("I'm sorry Olivia, I only kill when absolutely necessary") that really throw the reader and sometimes even the other characters off. (Flanderization began in TRH book 1)
Drake: Still gruff and jaded and grumpy but to a slightly higher degree. He is also clowned on and made into a meme by his friends and the Cordonian public. (Flanderization began in TRH book 1)
Maxwell: Loud, annoying, obsessed with parties and dancing, clumsy as hell, and almost comically self-absorbed. (Flanderization began in TRR book 2)
Olivia: Much more frequently aggressive, constantly goes on about knives, hidden blades, and spy missions. She is still loyal to king and country, but her personality has been reduced to that of a human weapon. (Flanderization began in TRH book 1)

I am trying to understand how the ending of Arcanum with Liam as the love interest can be as realistic as possible. However, it still seems to be a bit too mellow and sweet🥹🥹. Liam's soft and warm heart melts Selena's cold heart.

Okay time to dump info because I need a place to keep things 'straight' so I remember stuff about my multiple AUs upon AUs.
So I'm just gonna write shit and hope y'all pick it up.
The Salia Kids (Second Gen au)-
Jasper and 'Vee' are half-siblings with the same donor. Vee is 13, Jasper is 16. Both were concerned with sperm donors.
They are both on 9th grade (Jasper got held back, Vee got pushed forward) and have a rivalry on par to Sabrinas and Sylvies (they have mellowed out tho) Vees mom is Sabrina, while Jasper is Dalias. Jasper was named after Dalias younger brother, who's name is also Jasper. Vees name is Victoria Lila Kalmeren-Ashling the lll, because every first female born into Sabrinas family has the same name.
Vee is a child genius, taking a keen interest in computer science and technology. She likes making things, and with her Epithet: Imagine, it makes things very easy.
Jasper has yet to get one (I haven't gotten around to it) Jasper is Academically challenged in some way, however he can be very smart under pressure. Vee is the exact opposite of this. Jasper is secretly a Banzai Blaster, and while he thinks it's a secret, everyone knows except Sabrina.
Their relationships with their mothers varies. Vee has a great relationship with both of them, while Jasper is going through a rebellious streak and completely disregarding anything Sabrina says. This pisses her off to no end.
Dalia on the other hand, loves her children very much, and will die for them. (Sabrina will too, she's just too damn stubborn to admit it.)
King siblings(Second Gen Au)-
Amber and Liam are siblings, Amber being older at 14 years of age, and Liam being 9. They have that classic sibling relationship, y'know the one.
Liam is in 4th grade, and is 70% deaf in both of his ears. He wears hearing aids that help a ton, but can shut you up by just turning them off. He does that a lot. He's a very smarmy little shit, and not afraid to speak his mind. He's great at sports, and is tall for his age (9yrs old and 5'0 tall) he does take after Parker more than Micah, he has a strong sense of justice along with that classic King bluntness.
Amber is in 9th grade, and is a total band geek. Micah taught her how to play three different instruments when she was younger, and they have stuck with her. Unfortunately she takes after her Dad a bit too much, because she is the most awkward and dorkiest girl ever. She, just like her father, is considered a loser by the popular kids.
Ambers Epithet is Tune. This is also partly why she is very talented in music. Liam is a Mundie, as of right now, he does not know if he will get an Epithet, both of his parents are mundies, so the chances are low.
Both are half-Jewish due to Micah. They celebrate both holidays because Parker said: "Every child should celebrate with their parents, no matter what." Even though she doesn't talk to her parents.
The family is very well rounded and healthy. Of course there is an argument here and there, but overall nothing too bad.
Both kids have a different reaction to Percy though... Amber admires her great aunt (I think that's what she would be here) and looks at her work as an inspiration to keep going. Liam thinks she's boring, unfun, and too monotone. He has told her this to her face.
Bonnie's kids (Second Gen Au)-
Bonnie is Aroace, however that did not stop her from having kids. Even if they're not biologically related to her. She adopted twins, both of Deepwood race, and looks at them like theyre her own flesh and blood.
I haven't yet designed them, but both are great at roller skating and frequently work at Bonnie's pawn shop with her. Their names are, Amera and Armen, both are 9 years old, and... Just extensions of Bonnie.
Bonnie is a cigarette mom, most def. But she hides it when she can. It's a bad habit. Her go-to apology is asking if they want to get a fountain from the gas station. They immediately forgive her.
(they are still being developed)
Now onto the Age up AU, and spitballing :3
Micah and Parker (Age up AU)-
The healthiest relationship you will ever see. Both are working adults, and they make time for each other. They've been together since their late sophomore year, and are still growing strong.
When they found out they were expecting. They were completely happy. Until Micah started overthinking (like he always does) and started to freak out.
Until he turned to FRED of all people who just told him "Dude, I'm not good at this either! I'm just winging it!" And they freaked out together.
Blaire (@arospecbandgeek OC's go check em out) starts giving unsolicited advice to both of them, until Parker breaks down in tears because she thinks shes doing terrible. Blair has yet to apologize for this.
Sabrina and Dalia-
Another healthy relationship! Except Dalias ever growing anxiety at the fact her wife creaks like a 60yr old woman and is somehow WORSE than when she was younger.
Sabrinas ready to die at this point, she never expected to live this long.
Both have issues. Both love each other. Both girls :3

#OTD in 1922 – The Anti-Treaty IRA members reconvened to put into effect their motion from 26 March when it stated the IRA would be the legitimate army of the Irish Republic, which was in defiance of the Dáil Éireann vote.
Civil war was now a virtual certainty as the delegates adopted a new constitution and elected a new 16-member Executive composed of the following members: Liam Lynch (Cork), Frank Barrett (Clare), Liam Deasy (Cork), Tom Hales (Cork), Tom Maguire (Mayo), Joseph McKelvey (Belfast), Liam Mellows (Galway), Rory O’Connor (Dublin), Peadar O’Donnell (Donegal), Florence O’Donoghue (Cork), Sean O’Hegarty…

A little Thanksgiving adjacent thing in the Heathers AU. Jason experiencing what it’s like to visit extended family for the first time. Frank and Cool are from the 80’s Parenthood movie, and are Braverman and Duke’s maternal grandfather and cousin. Frank likes Casey and Shannen, but he’s always been iffy on the kids, finding Braverman to be too much of a goody two shoes, and Duke to be a spoiled brat. The two are good with kids (Duke surprisingly so), so Frank tolerates them for Cool’s sake, who adores them. He views Dan, Liam and Jason as “strays” because they come from different fathers due to Casey’s history, and his old fashioned way of thinking. He doesn’t some to realize he’s being hypocritical since he took in his grandson Cool like Casey took in Jason though. Frank and Jason so wind up finding some common ground and get along better during the visit though.
By this point, Duke has mellowed out enough and she, Braverman and Jason have a dysfunctional but caring sibling relationship when the three are together, which is shocking to Veronica since all three started off hating each other (that is JD and Dan hated Duke and Duke hated them).

Another interesting interview from 2015. This was something of a peace year for the brothers. There are other interviews from this year where Noel is being quite reasonable and sometimes even nice about Liam. 16:50 for Noel being played new Belgian music - his reaction is wonderful to see.
7:30 
Int - […] you’ve made up with your brother, you also made up with Damon Albarn, and all those old enemies of yours. Is it true […]
Noel - […] brothers never really fall out. Liam is a very angry man still. And as long as he’s angry we won’t be friends I’m afraid.
Int - […] I always thought Liam can be very angry but you can be very... [makes stabbing gesture] 
Noel - What does that mean?
Int - It means like you are also saying not very nice things but in a subtle way.
Noel - Yeah, well, maybe…I guess. But for my own part, all I ever wanted was to make the band the best that it could be. And I feel, or I felt at the time that Liam…just was in it for himself and yeah, that tends to rile me a little bit. If I’m subtle, that’s a good thing. It’s better than being violent.
The interviewer goes on to talk with surprising bluntness about how Noel is perceived by others; that he’s perceived to be angry (ironic, given Noel had just mentioned that Liam is an angry man). Noel defends himself, insisting that he’s not angry, he just takes his work seriously. 
“People mistake my seriousness for anger. I’m not there to enjoy myself, I’m there to work because people pay their hard earned money to see us play and I wanna get it right.” He goes on to say that it takes a ‘great deal of effort’ for him to make a band work. There were obviously multiple problems that the brothers had to grapple with during Oasis but differences in work ethic or approaches to work - partly stemming from their age gap - must have been right up there, if not the biggest problem, which of course was highlighted as far back as Wibling Rivalry.
Having survived a tough time in his life and seeing how hard Debbie works for him, I don't doubt Liam now realises that to be successful it can’t just be all fun and games and getting hammered.
I wonder if he now understands what Noel was trying to achieve back then? And if so, could they work better together now? If Noel has mellowed somewhat and Liam has matured?

Tumblr media
The azure of the sky was speckled with fluff of the white clouds. The winds were calm and often let out a soft breath in the form of a breeze. The trees seemed to be changing their dresses in a shade brighter than last month’s.
On such a pleasant day, Drake was rocking softly in a hammock, tied between the two trees that stood on the way to the barn. The usually quiet ranch home was bustling with activities, this time of the year. The Cordonian royal family was on their annual trip to Texas along with Drake’s family. A feeling of bliss ran through his veins as he looked at all of them.
His mother, Bianca sat nearby on a picnic table knitting a sweater. His wife, Olivia was busy taming the fiery red mane of their daughter, Lilith and his best friend’s wife Riley was entangled with her daughter’s golden curls.
He took a deep breath and focused back on reading Maxwell’s latest release.
A week ago...
{ “You are seriously going to spend time reading this?” Olivia had asked him when they had packed their bags in Lythikos.
“I am curious to read what he has written about our children. I let him be when he wrote a one-sided story about us but I won’t let him do that to my kido.”
“What will you do?” Olivia had raised an eyebrow, challenging him.
“ I… I…I will tell you. You can handle that Beaumont better than me.”
Olivia threw a pillow at him. “Such a marshmallow!”
Drake had just smiled. He knew, the presence of his daughter in his life had mellowed him down so much. }
Now…
He was half way through the story of the Royal heir and it felt a nice walk down the memory lane, as he read about the shenanigans of their little ones described in the book.
A sudden babbling around the picnic table caught his attention. He knew the girls were getting ready for the evening fire pit party, but this time it was his mother’s turn to dress up, it seemed.
Bianca was protesting, squeezed in between Lilith and Eleanor. Her hands were pinned down by both the girls who were engrossed in colouring the nails of her wrinkled hands.
“Girls, I seriously feel this is not a good idea.” Bianca said the umpteenth time.
“Shhh”, Lilith seated to her right, reacted.
Bianca shut her eyes, “This is going to be so awkward. “Ellie,” She coaxed Riley’s daughter seated to her left, “You are the wise one. Can you not reason?” Eleanor just giggled and concentrated back at the work in hand.
Bianca gave a pleading look to Olivia and Riley sitting in front of her but they shrugged and continued scrolling through their cell phones.
“Drake!” She called out to her last resort.
“Have fun, mom!” He replied.
“No use.” Bianca gave out a heavy sigh. She had not indulged in any such girlie acts for years. ‘Since Jackson’ she thought. And now she had to give in to the persistence of the young girls.
Riley and Olivia went to the kitchen to get some snacks. By the time they came back Bianca’s nails were painted bright.
Lilith squealed. “Grandma, isn’t it a beautiful piece of art?”
Before Bianca could respond, Eleanor sitting on the other side affirmed, “It surely is.”
Lilith lifted her arms in excitement, “You are getting ready for Ellie and Lily’s party tonight!”
“For which, we still have few things to arrange.” Reminded Eleanor.
“Oh yes, excuse us please.” Lilith got up. “We need to catch hold of Uncle Liam for our next plan.”
“He is almost done with his meeting. You can meet him upstairs.” Riley informed them.
Lilith pulled Eleanor along with her as they rushed to the house.
“Bye, Uncle Drake.” Eleanor waved.
“Bye Dad!” Lilith screamed.
“See you soon.” Drake waved at them and walked down to join the rest of the ladies at the picnic table, sitting next to his mother.
Bianca rolled her eyes and smiled at their retreating figures, “She never gets tired, does she?”
“And she loves to party.” Drake dismissed.
“Unlike you two.” Riley moved her finger between Drake and Olivia.
“I wonder where she got it from?” Bianca pondered.
“Oh, you don’t know? She was conceived in Maxwell’s library.” Riley snickered.
Olivia glared at Riley while Drake looked away in embarrassment.
“That’s a ridiculous reason. Bianca made light of it, “Anyways, I love how these girls bring all the brightness and joy to my otherwise quiet home. I am thankful to all of you for spending fall with me here, every year. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Her eyes welled up.
Drake reached out to hold her hand and comfort her.
Riley assured her, “Aww, believe me, I and Liam look forward to this time of the year. It’s a nice break from the Cordonian court and a much needed family time for us.”
Bianca dabbed her eyes with her free hand.
“Mom?” Drake sought her attention, still holding and observing her right hand. “Your hands are looking so pretty with this colour. He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed.”
Amidst the tears, Bianca laughed and retrieved her hand from his to slap his shoulder.
“Let’s eat.” Olivia tried to distract them. She preferred giving a blind eye to the emotional moments.
The four of them settled down around the table to munch on some Nachos. As they were eating, they discussed their plans for the evening.
“Olivia, what’s on your menu ?” Riley asked.
“Chicken fried steak, Drake’s barbeque ribs, pecan pie…”
“I love the pie you make, Olivia” Bianca chimed in.
Drake and Olivia exchanged a knowing look, some old memories replaying in their eyes.
“When you make it everyday, you achieve that perfection.” Riley stated.
“Everyday? Why would Olivia make pie everyday?” Bianca gave them both a puzzled look while Olivia tried to elbow Riley.
But Riley seemed to be in an elated mood as she explained further. “The Thanksgiving, a year before their wedding, Olivia burnt down the whole kitchen, trying to cook for Drake.”
Bianca gasped and Olivia covered her face with her hand. Drake grimaced helplessly. ‘What’s wrong with you Riley?’ he thought. He knew Olivia won’t like the details spoken out. But what came next surprised him too.
“She decided to make pie every single day for the next 21 days.”
“Really?” Drake and Bianca asked in unison.
“But why?” Bianca questioned again.
Olivia understood that there was no backing off now. She sighed before revealing, “I read somewhere that if you repeat anything for 21 days, the habit gets well ingrained. I didn’t want to repeat my mistakes.
“Oh dear” Bianca sympathized.
Drake got up to sit besides her. He gave her a hug, “I am proud of you wifey. I wish you included me for those 21 days too. I can never get enough of your culinary skills.” He kissed her hair and gave Riley a stare.
“What was that for?” Riley asked innocently.
Drake retorted, “Ok, this whole thing you’re doing? I’m gonna need you to stop. Do you realize, you are acting a lot like Maxwell today?
Bianca commanded, “Stop nudging her, Drake. She is just sharing those childhood memories one has. They are always a bit funny for everyone to hear.”
“Yeah, and a tad embarrassing for the grown up child.” Drake fussed.
Olivia placed her hand on Drake’s thigh and he looked at her. It was her silent way of saying, ‘let it go.’ He smiled at her and leaned down to leave a peck on her cheek.
“Olivia,” Bianca grabbed their attention, “I have something for you.” She dug in her bag of yarn balls to pull out and place a pair of neatly knitted socks on the table. “You said not to buy you any gifts, so I made you one instead.”
Olivia kept looking at her dumbfounded.
“Mom, I hope you remember that Olivia is from Lythikos? More than her, your poor son needs all the wool to survive the Lythikan winters.” Drake made a puppy face.
Bianca waved off Drake with a smile and continued, “I had thought of giving it to you later, but this seems to be the right time. Give me your hands.”
Olivia stretched out her arms. Bianca placed the socks in her open palms and rested her hands over them.
“Olivia, you refined my son into a fine man. You gave me a beautiful granddaughter and you brought us all together. As a woman, I know what it takes to build up a cozy little family. Hope this pair of socks keeps you warm on those awful days when nothing seems to go right and reminds you that you will always be right.”
Olivia was definitely not prepared for this. She felt the moistness in her eyes and feared that it would spill over the brim. She just looked down at the socks in her hands and Bianca’s hands over them. “You know that nail colour looks really beautiful on you.”
Bianca swatted on her hands and they all laughed together.
