(curley gao, she/her, spirit warrior) to DOLLIE ALIMJAN, the whole world looks like an open page. with a leap of faith, their ability of BODY EXCHANGE grows a little stronger. they’re pledged to the HOUSE OF BELTRAN to defend the enchanted lands of cagliostro with their ENCHANTED BUTTERFLY CLIPS. for TWENTY-THREE years, they have survived a world of magic with both their INVESTIGATION SKILLS AND SELF-CENTERED PERSONALITY. they work as a PODCAST HOST & INTERNET SLEUTH, but if they could change their fate, they’d want to EXPOSE THE WIZARD OF WHALE ISLAND. (ana, 25, she/her, est)

⸺ THREADS . STARTERS . VISAGE . AESTHETICS . PINTEREST . PLAYLIST

hello hello! it’s your local goblin ANA here trying her hand again at actually posting on the dash .･ﾟﾟ･(／ω＼)･ﾟﾟ･. dollie is an older muse of mine from a previous roleplay & she’s super easy for me to play, so i hope you’ll all love her and we can have fun in some threads! (i’m shy though so pls be patient, plotting in the dms makes me a lil anxious huisdfhsd) below i’ve included some tidbits of info about her for you, along with her profile information under! ♡ ok kiss kiss ily bye

officially adding another alimjan to the mix of things, get ready for more chaos as material girl by madonna plays in the background!!!

the youngest out of five sisters, also a cast member on a cringey and cheesy reality tv show called all around the alimjans (it's bootleg keeping up with the kardashians)

your typical neurotic workaholic capricorn with a splash of perfectionism, you'll find her working 3 different jobs and constantly on the search for more because she doesn't know how to slow down and breathe

despite the valley girl meets paris hilton meets the kardashians meets socialite facade she has on now, she was a very awkward, frizzy haired, tokyo ghoul obsessed little girl in her youth who was bullied often. anyone who knows her from her youth will know she's an entirely different person beneath the mask she's spent so many years building up.

the main host of cagliostros spookiest, most drama-filled podcast! “glamour & ghouls” will provide you with all things GLAMOUROUS, GHOULISH, AND GOSSIPY. you'll also find her on youtube, as well as internet sleuthing in her "free" time.

her youtube channel is where she vlogs behind the scenes content, investigations, as well as her makeup and skincare routines!

incredibly nosy, will always be in your business and isn't afraid to use whatever (or whoever) she needs to get to the top. her power is body swapping so don't be surprised if your character wakes up one day in a different body and you hear around town that people saw you doing things you didn't do 👀 (think freaky friday!)

despite being (very) annoying, if she knows you and loves you, she will (very frequently) show up at your door unannounced with your favorite drink to make your day a little better. be prepared to hear all of the gossip and drama you've missed out on, though. will also eventually force your character to let her give them a makeover. sorry, not sorry!!!!

spirit warrior who went through the full initiation and ceremony process, though she's not as involved in her house as others. prefers sticking to sleuthing and investigating drama more than fighting evil by moonlight and winning love by daylight. i have an open plot/wc for a dreamshade companion who helps her with the dirty work of things if anyone is ever interested 👀

plot bunnies/wanted connections!!

ex best-friend - someone who she considered nearly as close to her as her twin sister. when dollie wasn’t with rosie, she was always with your character. things ended on a very sour note, after dollie got too involved with a tragedy in the best-friends family. i wanna keep this pretty open to creative freedom, but an idea i had for this was that dollie made the mistake of sharing information on her best friends tragedy with her followers, and it caused a very sour and bitter end to the friendship.

the enemy - for some reason, this character wants to take dollie down and ruin the comfortable little career she’s been working so hard at building up ( maybe even at the expense of others? ) perhaps they don’t her sticking her nose in peoples business around town, or think she’s sniffed a little too close to something they want to remain covered up, this is completely open and i’d love to brainstorm something juicy for it 👀

the budding love - despite the constant need to always look put-together and like she has everything figured out, dollie has had a long battle with learning to understand herself. she was content with herself, comfortable with just focusing on her job and hobbies, but someone comes along and shows her what it’s like to love without all the expectations, what it’s like to have the passion, the adventure, the butterflies in your tummy that all the girls in the movies talk about. for the first time, she feels like she has a chance. (important note that dollie is a closeted lesbian currently who's only just now starting to figure herself out so this may have to be slow burn hehe!)

dreamshade companion - helps with investigations/the dirty work of being a nosy! dreamshades and spirit warriors often make contracts and work together as pairs in cagliostro, it's quite common and a good way to keep a dreamshade safe from being slain. perhaps your character is in it only for the safety, or maybe they enjoy sticking their nose in other peoples business too! i'm open to anything tbh

out of town friends - because of her interest in true crime/mysteries, dollie has done a fair bit of traveling outside of selphia for sleuthing and investigations, often spending weeks to even months all over the place to get the big scoop. there are no limits on where she could have met your muse, i wanted to leave it open for creativity ♡

podcast guests - anyone who comes on the podcast would likely have had their ears talked off by dollie many, many, many times. she’s very social and when it comes to info-dumping with her co-workers about the latest conspiracies, true crime, or whatever mysterious event has taken place in cagliostro this week, she doesn’t know when to stop

enemies and foes - when you're as nosy as dollie and willing to turn other peoples tragedies into profit, there are bound to be some people who just can’t sit right with her choice in career. maybe they think she’s too nosy, maybe she’s shared information with the public that was meant to be private, i’m open to absolutely anything!

shared interests in town conspiracies - i think it’d be super fun to have plots where dollie and other characters get together and discuss/investigate/try to work through town conspiracies! friends who sleuth together stay together 😎

fans of her youtube channel ( okay, okay, she’s not THAT big yet, but she likes to pretend she is )

HER MOTHER WAS a very well respected spirit warrior from house beltran & this should be on her blood - so WHY ; why was it so hard ? she'd lived long amongst monsters, but death is something you can only truly know when it gets under your fingernails. the terror it brings, the sheer pain from which it drinks & how it takes, and takes, and takes , not stopping when there's nothing left to give - you cannot fully understand until you've seen it, and if you have not ; lucky, lucky, you can't begin to fathom.

sitting down on the pavement, a couple of feet away from the medical bay - just enough - , she clutched to her side as a tear ran down her cheek. the horror - it should be on her blood , so WHY ; why was it not ? perhaps, because in the end, no matter how strong she wanted to appear - she was only somebody's precious daughter. "bless me, mother. i can do this, and even if i can't, i have to."

I always wondered, ever since I took that burden, that curse, I wondered what it could be, what my true happiness could even look like. I never found an answer, because the one thing I want... it's something I know I can't have. But I think I know - I think I know now, happiness isn't in the having, it's in just being, it's in just saying it. What are you talking about, man? I know - I know how you see yourself, Dean. You see yourself the same way our enemies see you. You're destructive and you're angry and you're broken - your daddy's blunt instrument. And you think that hate and anger, that's what drives you, that's who you are. It's not! And everyone who knows you sees it. Everthing you have ever done, the good and the bad, you have done for love. You raised your little brother for love, you fought fo this whole world for love. That is who you are! You're the most caring man on earth. You are the most selfless, loving human being I will ever know. You know, ever since we met, ever since I pulled you out of hell - knowing you has changed me. Because you cared, I cared. I cared about you. I cared about Sam, I cared about Jack, but I cared about the whole world because of you. You changed me, Dean. Why does this sound like a goodbye? Because it is. I love you. Don't do this, Cas. Cas- Goodbye, Dean.

CCG: WHAT THE FUCK COULD YOU BE BUSY WITH??? CAG: I'm making my own plans! I'm a pretty 8ig deal, remem8er Karkat? CGC: 1T LOOKS L1K3 YOU FORGOT HOW M4NY 1RONS SH3 H4S 1N TH3 F1R3 CAG: Exactly!

Terezi is all too happy to back Vriska up, when Karkat needs to get dunked on. She'll also gleefully rub salt in the wound when Vriska gets her ass kicked.

These two facts explain basically everything about their relationship.

CAG: Do you guys realize you are sharing a key8oard and taking turns to argue with each other? CAG: That is kind of cute. ::::) CTA: yeah ii hate to 2ay iit, but iit really 2ort of ii2. CCG: OK FUCK THIS.

You know your flirting is obvious when even Sollux is rolling his eyes affectionately.

FUTURE gallowsCalibrator [FGC] 6:12 HOURS FROM NOW responded to memo. FGC: H3Y!

Whatever vices Terezi may have, self-hatred certainly isn't one of them. She's consistently delighted with herself, in any iteration - quite a rare trait in the trolls we've seen.

We're finally back in the present - or at least, what passes for the present in Homestuck. It's been - wait, let me check...

...yeah, it's been ten months since Act 4 ended with a bang, and a recap is probably appropriate. Where did we leave these kids?

John has just escaped the Veil, thanks to the brave sacrifice of the Authority Regulator. He's currently fast asleep, his dream self exploring Skaia with his endgame bunny.

Rose continues to fall under Horrorterror thrall. She just destroyed her First Gate, resolving to break all the game's rules in search of answers, before flying off to parts unknown.

Dave, guided by Terezi, has just soared through his own First Gate on his canonically awesome JPEG skateboard.

Jade has just experienced dream death in Skaia's upper atmosphere. Just as Karkat prophesized, her Dreambot exploded, launching her out of her home. I guess she's technically been falling for ten months.

Welcome back to the stage, Homestuck's original protagonists!

Testing a Potion - Simon

It tastes like green and grasshoppers, like someone couldn’t be bothered to pick out the bugs before making wheatgrass juice.

The liquid is completely smooth and it feels a little cool as it slides down your throat.

You wait for the potion to take effect.

Jade is watching you closely, pen poised to take notes as soon as you show a reaction.

Your pulse quickens as a minute passes and nothing seems to change.

You hold your hands out in front of you and examine them. No change in the color of your skin, the structure of your bones. You pinch yourself on the forearm. No change in skin elasticity or sense of touch.

Panic starts to seep into your stomach.

You pace the length of your cage. No change in speed, proprioception, or the way your legs are structured.

Could it be your eyes? Maybe it did something to your eyes.

But Jade didn’t bring a mirror.

“How do you feel?” it asks.

You freeze. It asked you a question, so you have to answer.

And you can’t lie. It always knows.

But admitting that the potion might have been a failure might net you worse punishment than lying.

You search Jade’s frozen face, looking for any sort of hint of what the right answer is.

“How do you feel?” Jade repeats, sharper this time.

This is not good. “I. I.. Don’t feel anything,” you admit, slumping as the will to fight leaves you.

Jade narrows its eyes. “Nothing? Are you sure?”

“I. It. In my throat it was a little bit cool when I swallowed but that was all.” You resist the urge to move farther away from it. Running never helps.

Jade makes a note on its clipboard.

“Come here,” it orders.

You do as you’re told, for lack of any better option.

Jade unlocks the door and grabs you by the arm to pull you through the threshold. You suppress your flinch at its icy touch.

It positions you to stand in front of it. You remember not to slouch, as you know it hates that.

You wait for your Jade to announce your punishment.

And wait.

You don’t manage to suppress your flinch as Jade’s hand approaches your head, but instead of a blow, you receive a pat.

“You passed the test. That’s a good boy, not lying to me to try to escape punishment,” it says with faux-sweetness.

What?

Jade’s eyes flicker with smug satisfaction, the way they always do when it’s feeling smarter than you.

“I have to test you from time to time, make sure you’re reporting honestly. Can’t have you spoiling my data, can I?” it coos.

You don’t respond. You know it doesn’t need an answer from you.

“I think I’ll give you a little reward,” it says, turning away from your cage.

It disappears around the corner of the hall.

You’re still reeling a little bit from surprise when it returns.

“So, what will it be? I have some jellied fruit confections, very tasty, I made them myself,” it says, holding up a small plate of colorful cubes. “Oooor… I have another book. Though… You still don’t know how to read, do you?” It says with a chuckle.

You don’t remind them that you can read just fine, provided the book is in a language you know.

You choose the book. Food is tempting, but you won’t feel hungry unless you eat, and you have no idea when the next reward might be.

Not to mention food made by the lich is suspect. It could be poisoned again…

“What a studious boy you are. Keeping your mind sharp is important,” Jade praises.

The book it slips through the bars is written in a language you’ve grown more familiar with in the last decade or so. You’re pretty sure it’s a field guide for spotting alchemical components that can be found locally. Or At least you’re pretty sure that’s what it says. You wonder if this guide is for the area outside the dungeon.

“Maybe one day, if you’re very well behaved, I’ll let you outside so you can collect components for me,” Jade says, drawing you from your thoughts.

You doubt that will ever happen. Its idea of well behaved fluctuates far too often.

“I’ll be back soon with something new,” Jade says as it guides you back into the cage. “Try not to miss me too much, okay?”

It closes and locks the door before slinking off around the corner to its work station.

You sit down in your favorite corner and have a better look at the book.

You can hear Jade muttering to itself as it works, but you know how to tune it out by now. All the world falls away as you try to work out what the words on the page might correspond to in your own language.

You’ve managed to puzzle out quite a bit of the language over time. Things started making some sense when you realized the typical structure of a sentence was verb-subject-object instead of subject-verb-object. Though you suppose you still have no way of being sure that any of the things you’ve assumed are correct without something to check it against. Eventually your eyes grow heavy and you drift off to sleep, book falling from your grasp to the floor.

TGM Fic Possible Chapter 2

summary: An reunion with between Bradley and a childhood peer makes waves during the prep for the Uranium Mission.

requested? No, just a possible start to a story.

word count: 1578

warnings: No

a/n: Please give feedback as might be the start of a new story. @seresinhangmanjake @tongue-like-a-razor @bratshaws @bradshawsbaby @roosterforme @beyondthesefourwalls @townmoondaltwistle

Chapter 2

Ellie smiled as her memories of growing up with Maverick filled her mind. A buzz of her cell phone caught her attention from the crowd as the Hard Deck filled up for the night. A text message awaited her from her dad. “Warlock shared the results. Good job, Mini-Me. Mom and I are proud.” Her ears filled with music as the piano began to ring out filling the air. A familiar head of hair sat at the piano bench; Ellie’s heart jumped into her chest. “Oh, God, No. Please let him be here for something else. Please.” She thought as she moved to face the piano player with tears at the edges of her eyes.

His voice and a familiar tune filled the room. His focus on the keys and his song made her smile with memories of how important that song was to her Uncle Maverick and his dad Goose. His callsign and cheers filled the air around them when their eyes met. She gave a small smile as he moved through the crowd to greet her. “Ellie?” he said quietly. Her nod was enough to encourage him to pull her close into a hug as a laugh caused his chest to vibrate against hers. Her nose was filled with his familiar cologne and the scents of the skies. He looked her over as he stepped back. “God, Ellie, you look good. Different but good. How are you doing? Last I heard you were in DC with Slider.” She chuckled slightly as he led her to a nearby pool table with other navy members surrounding it.

She stepped to the other side of a small table as she began to answer him. “I was in DC until about a month ago. Mom asked and Uncle Slider helped me transfer near home. Been here at North Island for a month now. Working directly with Admiral Bates. “

“Explains the promotion, Lt. Commander. Congratulations, Ellie. You deserve it. But not in the skies?”

“Rotator cup surgery about a year ago. Completed the paper assessments and re-quals were today. Cleared to return as soon as Warlock decides.”

“Tommy? Sasha and Chris? How are they doing?”

“Tommy’s a CAG now on a carrier. In the Med somewhere. Loves every minute of it. Sasha and Chris are good. The kids are growing so quick these days. 3rd and 4th graders now. Sasha’s running the New York to Atlanta trek lately. Got a lot of challenges and respect built up for herself.”

“What about your mom and dad? I know you said Aunt Sarah asked you to come closer to home but any news? Your dad is brief in his emails.”

“Mom’s good. Dad works at home a lot these days. Keeps her busy as well as keeping up with us. Dad’s health hasn’t been great, Brad. Last thing they told me it was in remission, but I am concerned. He barely talks on the phone anymore. It is always by text or email. I know it took a lot out of him, but I am scared there is more they are hiding from me.”

He pulled her into another quick hug, “Ellie, I am sorry. I need to go out there if I have time. I need to see them and catch up in person. Still in the big house?”

“Of course, Mom will never let that place go. She loves it.” Ellie said with a smile returning to her face.

A male voice interrupted before Brad could speak again. “Bradshaw, who’s the lovely lady?” one of the officers in uniform said as he approached them.

“Hangman, bug off.” Brad said moving to stand toe to toe with the new man.

“Rooster, be honest. You know she is out of your league.” Hangman responded.

Ellie reached out to Brad touching his arm before he responded as she moved to stand. Her eyes met with a female officer who flashed a look of recognition on her face as Ellie moved to stand at her full height in front of Brad. Another officer, Fritz, recognized Ellie as well. “So, you must think you are Lieutenant Serein?” she asked with chill entering her voice looking him over.

“Of course. Only the best of the best for you, Darling.” He said with a smirk.

Ellie took off her baseball cap, shaking out her blonde hair, and moved to stand toe to toe with Hangman. “If I wanted to be with the best of the best, Lieutenant. I would go to visit my father the Admiral, or to the Med to visit my brother, the CAG on his carrier, or just hang out alone as I am one of the Best of the Best. Top Gun Class of 2012. Don’t think that just because I am in civilian attire that I can’t handle a cocky lieutenant. Thanks to my father, brothers, and my Uncles of the Top Gun class of 1986, I will always be better in the skies than you.” She took a deep breath and turned to face Brad. “Brad, I will see you later. Phoenix, nice to see you again. Fritz, don’t think I forgot about that drink you owe me for saving your skin with the CAG that last flight.” Ellie tapped Fritz on the shoulder as she walked past him.

She was almost to the door when she hear Phoenix’s voice echo out. “God, you are so stupid, Bagman. How successful of a career do you think you will have by pissing off Iceman’s baby girl? First day back at North Island and you start it by pissing off Ice Queen. While Ice Queen will handle you in the air, her father as an Admiral has a lot more reach, Bagman.” Everyone, other than Brad and Fritz, looked at Phoenix in surprise making Ellie smile again as she exited the door and headed off to her car for the night.

The next morning, she met Admiral Bates in her office. She was shocked as she entered and spoke to him right away, “Admiral Bates, sir. Did I miss a meeting? Did you need something?”

“Calm down, Lt. Commander. I was checking that you were in uniform. Do you have your flight suit with you?”

“Yes, sir. Here in my duffle.”

“Good. You might need it later. Be down at the training hangar by 9. See you then, Lt. Commander.” He said moving out the door.

Her uniform and hair was pristine as she greeted Admiral Simpson as he entered the hangar where she was standing. “Lieutenant Commander, I heard about your re-quals. Good to have you back in the skies.” He told her. “Bet your father was proud.”

“Thank you, sir. It feels good to be back in the air. Yes, sir. He texted to congratulate me last night.” She said quickly. She then watched as Cyclone motioned for Warlock to start the meeting. She stood at Cyclone’s side as Warlock addressed the group. She recognized Hangman, Fritz, and Phoenix along with Brad. She felt her heart drop as she saw the recent Top Gun graduates from each squadron including Fritz from her old squadron. She immediately knew the mission they faced. She paled as she saw Maverick walk from the back of the hangar to face the group. Her family was right in the middle of this mission and her heart sank.

Ellie analyzed the information and helped Maverick break down the flights with the group as the 2nd day progressed. She could see each mistake as the teams made them. She could tell that the pilots seemed too cocky to understand or listen to what Maverick was telling them. She shook her head as each team failed. It was at the end of training day 2 as tensions flared. Hangman and Brad began to bristle against each other, and Hangman brought up Goose. Ellie’s face paled. As the group settled keeping Rooster and Hangman apart, her heart felt full of ice against Hangman. After Maverick dismissed them, Rooster left quickly but Ellie went nose to nose with Jake.

“You really enjoy being an ass, don’t you, Serein?” she snapped out.

“What does it matter to you, Elsa?” he said smirking.

“Do you realize that you not only purposely hurt Rooster but Maverick too? One of the hardest things Bradley had to watch was his mom raise him alone because she never could replace Goose. Plus, my Dad and his class had to step in to be father figures in Brad’s life. Maverick has never lost the guilt over Goose’s death. He told me so many times how as the pilot you are so responsible for the lives of your WSO or your wingmen. He warned me how hard it was to have to face the consequences of mistakes in the air even if they are not your fault. You always feel responsible for those on your team. Your cocky attitude will get someone on your team killed, Serein, which is why no one can trust you in the air.” Ellie took a breath as she felt both Phoenix and Fritz at her back. She stared down Jake with the cold look inherited from her father and the ice in her voice. “If you ever bring up my Uncle Goose like that again, it will be more than Rooster that they will have to keep off your back. I’ll personally kick your ass, Serein. And that is a promise. “she said as she stormed out of the room to find Bradley.

Do you have any thought on how the show has handled its racism plot lines?

This is honestly a hard question to answer for me as I'm kinda not much of a political person in the long run

But If I can give a straight answer, i think it's decent enough

The biggest problem I've seen people throw at the topic is that the show also tells and not shows(Which I kinda partly disagree,

-Sun Wukong being chased by officers in his first appearance w/ Weiss throughout Vol 1-2 spitting insulting Comments at him and other Faunus in General(Due to her past experiences with them and her Family)

Weiss: (realization hitting) Wait a minute. (walks over to Penny and grabs her by the shoulders) If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey-tailed... rapscallion?

Penny: The who...?

Weiss: (holding up a poor drawing of the criminal-in-question) The filthy Faunus from the boat!

Blake: (off-screen) Why do you keep saying that?!

Weiss: (turning her attention from Penny to Blake) Huh?

Blake: (walking over to Weiss, angry) Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!

Weiss: Oh, I'm sorry. (releases Penny and motions to objects around her) Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can? Or this lamppost as a lamppost?

Weiss: I don't understand why this is causing such a problem!

Blake: That is the problem!

Weiss: (getting up from her bed) You realize you are defending an organization that hates Humanity, don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil!

Blake: (gets on her feet as well) There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin, people like you, that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!

Weiss: People like me?

Blake: You're discriminatory!

Weiss: I'm a victim! (as they stare each other down in silence, Weiss leans in close, leering as she speaks quietly) You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? (leaning against the bookshelf by the window) It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War, as in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear; board members executed; an entire train car full of Dust, stolen. And every day, my father would come home, furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood. (bangs her fist on the bookshelf)

Ruby: (going over to comfort her) Weiss, I-

Weiss: No! (turns away and walks back over to Blake) You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!

Blake: Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!

-There also many different places across the show to reveal the inequality of Faunus

-Cagged/Imprisoned

-Not allowed within Bars

-Higher Ups like Cordovin considers people like Blake as a "Questionable Character"

This is also increasingly shown in the Atlas Arc where the some of citizens send racist comments down Blake's way

Drunk Mann: (loudly) We try and help the other Kingdoms, and this is what happens? I say let 'em rot!

Blake: (disingenuous) I apologize. I didn't mean to insult you.

The drunk man spits on the ground, glaring at Blake.

Drunk Mann: Stupid Faunus like you wouldn't unders--

He looks down to unscrew his flask and pauses when he sees a black glyph beneath his feet. His glasses hover off his face as his eyes widen in surprise. The glyph flings him into the air, and he falls into a dumpster in the nearby alley, his glasses and flask accompanying him soon after. Yang, Nora, Blake and Ruby stare at the dumpster, then turn to see Weiss pointing Myrtenaster where the man had been standing.

Weiss: (with a shrug and a smile) It was worth it

While it is true that sometimes they might tell you instead of showing you(Vol 4-5), I think it's fine as long as it's progressing the plot line and we see the Aftermath of it all

-The Loss of ilia's Parents

-Adam's and Sienna's Forceful and self destructive approach towards other races(I.E they wanted to remove them out of power as well as kill them in order to keep the Faunus on top)

- Association with Criminal Organizations like the White Fang

And so on

And Honestly I think Blake said it best

"At first I thought Adam was "justice", then I thought he was "passion". But over time, I realized I was wrong. He wasn't any of those things. He was "spite". Not "hatred", not "rage", "spite". He won't accept equality, only suffering for what he feels the world did to him, and his way of thinking is dangerously contagious."

"Humans didn't do this. We did this. Faunus. We did this to ourselves. We're just as capable of hate and violence as the humans but I don't think any of us would jump at the chance to point that out. So why are we letting Adam do it for us? By doing nothing and staying silent, we let others speak and act in our place. And if we're not proud of the choices they make, then we have no one to blame but ourselves."

"This is the message Adam Taurus will bring to the world if no one stops him. But we can stop him! You have to understand that all of you are looking for simple answers to a very complicated problem, and I can't give that to you. I don't know how to make hate go away, I don't. But I know that this kind of violence is not the solution.

I understand that to ask you to leave your homes and protect Haven Academy is asking you to put your lives at risk, but that's what's at stake. So I'm going, and I'll stand by myself if I have to."

(I found these lines to be rather powerful cuz while people should definitely fight for their rights, it's a matter of how you do it that counts >Presenting a Comprise at the end of the day is much more beneficial than a road filled with inflicting Fear,Death and Discrimination on one another

•While this doesn't fix the situation instantaneously, it provides Room to grow as we walk towards a better tomorrow)

Again I may not be the best person to discuss such a Complex Topic so take what I say as a grain of salt

Hopefully this answers your question

not sure if you know this but lancelots victory pose in versus is basically him offering a hand to his beaten opponent while smiling at them. for percival and some people its a simple but friendly :) smile and others like the captain i think get a wide :D with the eyes closed and everything. very cute. the only person he frowns at is beelzebub. he still offers him his hand but hes not happy about it. so he still smiles at belial even but beelzebub is just beyond redemption in his eyes somehow.

YESSS I KNEW OF THAT. Lancelot is so cute this way i swear.

And it cracks me up only Bubs is unredeemable to him. With all the horrors esp Belial committed, its only Bubs who gets treated like this.

My theory is that he's like that with Bubs because during wmtsb3 he was fighting with Bubs, not Belial. With Cags and the rest of them, they had to focus on Bubs.

So Lancelot only would have heard of Belial's attrocities. But with Bubs he had to fight him and know just what a pain he was there.

Another theory is that he'd just look down on anyone who would backstab someone, especially one who's a figure of authority holding the world together. Because it would remind him of King Josef's murder and how much it traumatized him. But if it was for that he'd be more upset with Belial too... unless he agrees Belial and Lucifer are sibling coded, and kinslaying is more understandable than kingslaying.

My least serious answer is that he's mad that this guy with big muscles and blond hair would use his good looks for evil. Like how dare you share similarities with his boyfriend >:( now he misses his boyfriend and he's just there having a bad time.

Either way i love Lancelot being petty for once <3

“You do know that even possessing that is illegal here, yes?” coryn × skeeter @gcmechanger

the voice of his good friend coryn makes the tall oaf smile through a twinge of annoyance. turning around to meet him, Skeeter crosses his arms over his chest in defiance. “Consider this, don’t say anything and we’ll be fine.” skeeter dawson higgens the third didn’t like leaving his home without an emotional support doobie. inundated with insecurities constantly, the twenty milligrams of lexaprotion prescribed by his psychiatrist didn’t always help with this. he self medicates. and despite looking as if he has a low emotional intelligence score, he fears that without his dwarven moss, he’d be an emotional wreck. he prefers feeling numb. he tucks the rolled cigarette behind his ear just under his ballcap. “I’ll share with you, just don’t snitch. And don’t, for the love of god, tell Gabs.”

M: heyyyyyyy guess who its ur favorite spirit medium um. so nick still doesnt know how to use tumblr so hes using my laptop. uhh good luck gang o7

PW: WHERE ARE MY KIDS??? ARE THEY OKAY? ARE THEY HURT?

when trucy didn’t come back from her drive with athena i just assumed she stayed over her place!! she’s been a little distant lately because of her leaving soon which is why i didn’t worry too much about it when she didn’t answer my texts! i thought it was a teenager thing!!! YES i know she’s an adult but she’s still my baby girl! i started getting concerned when athena didn’t answer my calls and the next day i called blackquill to check athena’s apartment and they weren’t there???? and then athena’s car was apparently missing and then miles sent out a search party and i thought maybe they somehow hopped on a flight to khura’in so i called apollo but apollo said they weren’t there and now he’s on a flight back to LA and. and

holy shit. i’m SO glad they’re relatively okay.

M: it was my idea to see if u guys had any idea abt trucy and thena and whaddya know! theyre w yall! thank fucking god

PW: please please take care of the girls. i can’t do anything right now but i’m trusting you guys to keep them safe until they get back home. i’ll, uh, have to figure out how to tell miles to call of the search because we found them in the… past. thanks in advance.

M: they better not get hurt bc i will channel ur spirits in the present and hurt yall in ways you cant even imagine

PW: maya.

M: im joking nick chill out

PW: sure, whatever. anyway, i’ll be holding down fort in the agency until they come back. apollo’s probably going to stay here until trucy and athena get back too, so let’s hope khura’in doesn’t crumble while he’s gone.

M: pearly and i will be hanging out w you just like old times nick!! wright n co is back in business babey

PW: don’t you have master of kurain duties to take care of?

M: have u ever heard work at home nick? im sure even at YOUR old age you know what that is

PW: i’m not talking to you like this when you’re right beside me. go away.

M: just sign off already loser or let me do it

PW: HANDS OF THE KEYBAORD MAYABS SSJSKLZMS S

- mayaaaaaa & nichola s cag e e MAYA

I promise they are and will continue to be perfectly safe. They've adjusted surprisingly well to the situation.

Yes! We'll make sure they don't get hurt!

Not only would that mess with time, but I get the feeling we'd never hear the end of it. Miss Fey would summon our spirits just to let Mr Wright yell at us.

cags diep - the importance of being multi-skilled

Founded in Charlottesville in 1991, Red Light Management has since developed into the largest independent music management company in the world.[ref 3] Cags explained that music management is essentially project management and that there are a lot of separate roles to this. I could tell straight away that one of Cags’ strong points was flexibility to do different jobs. Her background reflected this, and her experience ranged from managing orchestras to an internship as Brighton Fringe Festival to private teaching. Music was always at the forefront of Cags’ mind, studying a classical Music BA at Bristol University. However she admits she didn’t do much research into the course - but felt Bristol University was appealing. Some of Red Lights clients include the Kaiser Chiefs, Sugababes, Bonobo, Kelis and Jordan Rakei. Cags herself mainly deals with travel, logistics and sourcing the people required to make up a team that could manage an artist. Her main roles are finance and budgeting, Cags’ emphasised the importance of having the people you work with trust you - as you will be living closely with everyone.

To me, Cags’ role as a music manager seems extremely diverse in how she has to go about things. To Manage finance and budgeting is a huge responsibility and one could argue is a one of those jobs where you must remain highly organised and professional as money is such a powerful device. However, on the other hand, she must remain trusted amongst her colleagues and is expected to make friends as part of her job. During the Think Tank talk she was asked ‘where’s the line between being a friend and being a manager?’. Cags describes how she often has to put aside her emotions and be ‘straight to the point’ when it comes to business decisions. This really shows how diverse Cags’ role is and I think if I was a music manager, I would have trouble drawing that line. After finishing uni, Cags had multiple jobs, including bar work - which she said well equipped her for a career in music management - as you are faced with lots of different types of personalties and are expected to work with that. Cags also said that bar work helped her learn to cope with stress and unpredictability whilst working. Cags’ talk seemed to focus around one thing - getting to know the industry and combating her own disadvantages by gaining multiple skills to back up her right to a role.

One article from The Musician’s Union in which R&B singer songwriter Rebecca Garton writes ‘having a female black manager, I have seen the constant struggle/she has had to go through to be heard or viewed as an equal in the room.[ref 4] It’s both interesting and disheartening to realise that women and women of colour specifically have to put so much more effort to be respected in their careers - and this is no different for the music industry. Cag’s commitment to her job is impressive, but perhaps if she was granted different privileges by what is still a racist and patriarchal society - she would not have to graft so hard to feel confident in her management skills. However, I think her adversities have made her extremely strong professionally and, listening to experience and successes, it was clear to see that her dedication to her job has paid off.

3, 10, 13 <3

[Disclaimer: since I have upwards of 1000 fics posted, I'll only be answering with my original pieces]

3. which three fics best represent your views about love / relationships? Let Me Go with Winks is really the only one I can think of (don't date someone expecting them to change on big things like having or not having kids). Unfortunately, I don't really write much that isn't trope-y (friends or enemies to lovers, etc), so nothing else really encompasses my views on love and relationships.

10. which three fics were you most nervous to post? why? Her Majesty's Men with Mount (mostly because I wasn't sure how it would be received even though it was with Mason), Movie Night with Soyuncu (because it was my first-ever series and major Cags post), and Faking It with Winks (because I loved it a lot but I also knew how angsty it was)

13. which three fics did you enjoy writing the most? Poker Face with Soyuncu aka 18k of Smut, Piano Lessons with Mings, and Call Me Gatsby, Cinderella with Winks. All three of these were very drawn-out thoughts where it took me ages to actually get something down, then I had writer's block for a few months, and then I came back to it and finished it.

Thank you, my dear!
