He doesn't know either, but he NEEDS them. Since Danny is a baby ghost, he gets adopted quite easily by his would be rouges and never goes through that phase of 'ghosts are trying to kill me because they are mean'

the fellowship + helping their s/o with insomnia

characters included: aragorn, gimli, legolas, boromir

word count: 507

summary: how members of the fellowship help their s/o with insomnia get some sleep during the quest

a/n: y’all sleep has not been my friend lately and i’m gonna vent abt it thru fluff

aragorn🗡️

aragorn sings elvish songs of old, taught to him by elrond and his adopted family in rivendell

he sings of nature and its beauty, of lovers separated by circumstance that somehow find a way, of battles fought long before the time of isildur, all sorts of things in the soft sindarin tongue

your head will be against his chest, feeling it rumble with every word and hum, his heartbeat keeping time with the music

when your breathing finally goes steady, he presses a gentle kiss to your temple and tapers off his song into hums, gradually fading out once it’s time for him to rest

gimli🛡️

gimli knew without a doubt you were his one the moment you locked eyes for the first time. the feeling was one his amad & adad described to him when he was a wee pebble, his heartbeat mimicking the strike of a hammer against an anvil at alarming speeds

when your one notices your frequent duels with the sandman, he offers to help you find rest however possible because gimli, son of glóin would never leave his one to suffer through anything alone

this leads to his bedroll having a permanent spot next to yours, with either you playing with his fiery mane to relax or him envisioning how his beads would look in your hair while aimlessly braiding it

his sturdy hands massage your scalp and give you various braids that he unweaves before you wake the next day, the courting beads he forged years before burning holes in his pockets each time

legolas🏹

legolas is an amazing storyteller, and the firelight only adds to the ambiance

one of your favorite semi-recent stories (for an elf) of his pertains to the company of thorin oakenshield, one of whom happened to be gimli’s father — the way the dwarves rode the river inside the wine barrels had you laughing every time

he tells you anecdotes of his childhood, about all the mischief that would “find him unawares” (you knew better) as he grew up in greenwood

joy was also found in the elven prince finding stray plants to weave into crowns and garlands for you, making sure to move them aside as you nod off to keep them from being crumpled

boromir🍻

boromir is the most physically affectionate man you’ve ever encountered, and he proves this point tenfold when it’s time to rest

his warm embrace and gentle kisses are a balm to your restless mind, soothing you into a state of contentment and peace you didn’t know you could achieve

he’s a massive cuddle bug and will reach for you in his sleep if you move too far away, his strong arms curling around your waist protectively and his face buried in the crook of your neck

but before laying down for the night, he’ll invite you to do some light sparring that will inevitably end in a playful scuffle that has everyone in good spirits (pippin and merry will take your side and team up against boromir, which is always a fun sight to see)

Young Royals, parenthood, and reproductive autonomy (a meta I guess)

Especially with season 3 approaching, people talk a lot about whether or not Wilhelm will accept or reject the throne. This is often framed in terms of Wilhelm’s love for Simon, as well as his ability to own and express his queer (albeit as of yet unlabeled) identity. We also discuss this in terms of what sort of symbolic leader Wilhelm could be for Sweden.

There’s one question I want to add to the mix, when we consider Wilhelm’s future: to what extent is Wilhelm willing or eager to become a parent someday?

To build upon that a little further: to what extent is parenthood a choice for Wilhelm in a system where he is expected and required to father an heir, and probably a spare as well? What does his reproductive agency look like in that situation?

Now, I don’t want to turn this into a discussion of the reproductive mechanics of the line of succession. I know a lot of folks have speculated ways that can or can’t be addressed, and have talked about issues like surrogacy laws and adoption and whatever else. I also know there’s the possibility of the throne going to some relative or another. I’m not interested in that right now! Instead, I want to focus on the practical and emotional aspects of what it means for Wilhelm to contemplate future parenthood.

So let’s ask some more questions: does Wilhelm actually want children? If so, at roughly what age does he want kids? About how many kids does Wilhelm want? If he wants more than one kid, about how spaced apart does he want to have them? What are his views on how to parent? These are all questions that Wilhelm should have a choice to contemplate on his own, but likely won’t as long as he remains crown prince. The social norms of the monarchy likely dictate that becoming a parent happens at a certain time and pace, in a particular manner. Moreover there’s a certain prescribed way it has to all be presented to the public. Finally, Wilhelm knows that by having a kid while in the role as monarch, he would set that kid up for some of the same things he went through as a child, unless he takes extra care to break and dismantle toxic cycles. His child would be an heir to the throne and certain things would be expected of that child, the way they were of him.

The upshot of all of this is that YR raises questions about Wilhelm’s reproductive autonomy and future in a way we don’t usually get to see for cisgender male characters in teen dramas. (I would also say we get an intimations of this with August and Erik, as well—we’ve seen the way the royal court has exerted their influence over both when it comes to relationships and sexuality.) These kinds of conflicts and dilemmas usually only come up when they involve characters with uteruses. So it’s interesting to see the way that YR plays with this idea of reproductive autonomy, and extends the discussion.

Possibly a take that will bug some of my fellow fans, but I’m going to say it anyway: this is why I think Sara having a potential pregnancy or pregnancy scare could be on theme for season 3. I’m not saying it’s definitely gonna happen. What I am saying is that if it did happen, it would fit in with the show’s themes and dramatic questions as already established and would be more than just “drama.” (Drama in a program classified by its genre as a drama? You don’t say!) Sara would have to contemplate some of the same questions that Wilhelm contemplates about parenthood and parenting, and you could parallel their two arcs quite effectively. 

Now, obviously they would also be in very different situations with different things at stake. Wilhelm’s class situation and reproductive organs are naturally different than Sara’s, so they’re naturally going to experience this parenthood differently. Sara would also have to engage with this question on a bodily level, as she’d be the one carrying a pregnancy to term, and that is a nine month process that takes a lot out on the body even in “healthy” pregnancies. (Pregnancy tends to be tougher for people with autism, too.) Finally, Sara will have to think about her own parents a lot, and what she absorbed from them. What does it mean for Sara to contemplate parenthood when she herself is the child of an abusive relationship?

Now, I want to point out that we’ve also seen YR use this strategy of parallels between characters for exploring other issues. Felice and August both struggle with perfectionism and body image, but that plays out differently for them due to differences in gender, race, and family structure. Simon and Sara grapple with similar questions about relationships and being in love and season 2, but experience that differently due to gender, sexual orientation, and neurotype. Simon and August both struggle with trauma around fathers with drug addiction, that causes them to engage with drugs in unsafe ways (August mostly by using, Simon mostly by dealing), but we know they’ll be seen differently by others because of their class. And so on. Part of what YR does so well is the way it shows how human beings can hold experiences in common, but still be divided in how they experience them based on systems that reinforce a social hierarchy. Paralleling Wilhelm and Sara around dramatic questions of future parenthood and reproductive autonomy could be really illuminating.

While I firmly believe that, if Sara has a pregnancy situation/pregnancy scare, Sara herself should be centered in that particular plotline, we also know such a plotline would likely involve August as the person who donated half the DNA of the fetus in question. Which then throws August’s arc into a suddenly very real and frightening place: he’s in a position where he could perhaps in the most basic sense fulfill the “destiny” ordered of him by the Society and by the machinations of the royal court members who want him as Wilhelm’s backup. (We know what that phone conversation he has with Jan-Olof is really about, and again I remain grossed out.) 

And yes, we also know that August has exercised his capacity to seriously harm others multiple times throughout seasons 1 and 2, and that he is about to be in serious legal trouble for leaking the video. Even without that, what would it mean for him to have to think about these questions of parenthood when he hasn’t fully processed the trauma and grief of losing his own father, or had a chance to heal his fractured relationship with his mother? Whether you come at the horror of August fathering a child from the angle of August as someone who has relentlessly hurt others, or from the angle of August as someone with deep, parent-related pain of his own and minimal support to navigate that pain, I think ultimately what we’re being shown here is the ruthlessness of monarchy as it relies on reproduction to keep itself going. Does it matter that an heir to the throne is loved and celebrated for who they are and given therapy for their trauma, as long as the heir exists, reaches adulthood, and one day produces another heir?

Which then opens up another question that I think once again applies to Wilhelm, and maybe Sara as well. If having children is a way to maintain and preserve status for the upper classes, what does that mean for Wilhelm? Can Wilhelm believe his mother loves him, if having children is more a mandate for someone in her position than a choice? This may be a question Wilhelm has to sit with, and it’s possibly something Kristina needs to sit with too. Has Kristina ever considered Wilhelm a loving choice she’s making, rather than a destiny? I think this would be a great opportunity to explore Kristina as a person, and not just as a royal or a mother.

Meanwhile, having children is expensive and consumes time and energy, and someone who is working class and autistic like Sara is going to have fewer resources to deal with this situation. Luckily, as someone who lives in Sweden, she has safe and reliable access to abortion (glaring at my own horrendous country here) which I imagine will be the option she would end up choosing in that kind of plotline. But that doesn’t mean she won’t have to stress over her situation or face gossip or even negative press attention because of it. Not to mention the way Sara’s own conscience may weigh on her, if she’s pregnant with the child of someone who harmed her brother, her (ex?) best friend, and other people so dramatically? Is there a part of her that would kind of want the child anyway, perhaps in another circumstance? What would it mean, to want that child? This sounds like something Sara and Linda could discuss, and maybe come to understand one another on.

Lisa once said one of the dramatic questions of Young Royals was whether or not people become their parents. If we are going to engage with that question, one way to raise the stakes around it is to make the question of parenthood and reproductive autonomy more real and urgent. Again, I’m not saying this will happen. This is not a season 3 prediction post. But I do think if it did happen, it would be in line with what we’ve seen from the series and its exploration of families and privilege.

[la-pheacienne]

so something that I've been chewing on is how the dynamics of the Dance would have changed of Rhaenyra had been a son. Rhaenyrion, if you will (rhaenys/Balerion) I kinda realized that this concept is sort of explored already, with Daeron and Daemon down the line with the Blackfyres.

The thing is is that Rhaenyrion would still have quite a bit of beef with Alicent, tho there probably would be way more issues with Viserys insisting on remarrying the one chick that wants her own son to sit on the throne, so this would probably end up with some similarities to harem dramas (wives of the father against other sons that aren't theirs.) I suspect that in this au, Rhaenyrion would be far more assertive due to being an assured crown prince, (except daeron was an assured crown prince and still had to fight for his position), except Alicent would probably still make this boys life as miserable as she can

I'm guessing that in this au Rhaenyrion is married to Laena Valaryon automatically, but what would really be insane (because realistically they would have true born kids, but I also personally want the bastard allegations to happen because grrm didn't put that there for free) is if Rhaenyrion straight up fucking adopts kids as he likes. I mean realistically he can also have his own bastards and keep them as his own, maybe Laena doesn't fucking like him cause she's gay or cuckholds him with Daemons twins Baela and Rhaena, which would really warp the hell out of the family blood tree.

I do like the adoption thing too much because one, Romans, two, adoption isnt something explored in asoiaf. To the point that it doesn't seem like an option. It's either let the kid live with you unofficially or legalize them as your heir if their your bastard. Also if they wore adopted this would throw a lot of fuel to the greens because how could Rhaenyrion adopt his sons of vague origins and make one Viserys's gods-damned heir to the throne? Against decency, this is.

( I am aware that that option is borderline too crazy. Realistically, if we ignore the most realistic option, Rhaenyrion would just bring his bastard sons home and say they're his and Laena's ignore the logistics fuck you Im the crown prince this is my son his name is Jacaerys Targaryen.)

Probably in this au that I am cooking all over your asks Aegon and Viserys would be Daemon's bastards, graciously fostered by Rhaenyrion and Laena on dragon stone. How the fuck does Daemon's sons get the throne after Aegon II, I have no idea, but as I pick through the mush of this au, the only justification i got is that grrm's "the laws of inheritance were vague at best and when push came to shove people dp what ever they fucking want regardless." (Misquoted but basically what he said). Unless Damon has two shotgun weddings that were scandalous but legit enough in the short term. Especially since Rhaenyrion would probably designate Aegon as his heir when All the other boys are gone.

Pretty much the major thing that Rhaenyrion and Rhaenyra would share is how they make their own family. It's just that Rhaenyrion would be seen as much more insane then Rhaenyra would be. Rhaenyrion be making "promise me, Rhae" level promises to Laena over protecting her daughters and the mother of his sons and Daemon's sons.

The major thing however, in this au is that the greens would be super major usurpers all the way, since they don't have the women can't ascend the iron throne argument, and their main argument is just, Rhaenyrion has done scandal after scandal jow can we have that guy as our king? And said scandals are just, guy loves his kids and gives the greens middle fingers every time he sees them. Which would just highlight the greed of the greens big time.

Unless we go so far as to make Rhaenyrion Bisexual and unapologetic about it. Which adds more fuel to the fire since the Greens are pro Faith of the Seven.

In the case of the war probably the greens would be significantly more on the offensive early on. Like you thought Aemond was bad in canon hed probably try to torch the Erie in addition to the RiverLands.

Actually I just realized that since Laena fucking dies (don't want her to but she dies) the Driftmark episode would be so much fucking worse. Especially because...yeah this is a Rhaenyrion/Laena/Deamon poly situation Vaemond would be downright suicidal to be making comments on her funeral speech when both her gods-damned lovers who are Princes are right fucking there. And then you also have the fact that Aemond claims Vhagar, who belonged to Rhaenyrion's Just Buried Wife, the Night After Said Wife's Funeral, and then proceeds to Insult the Crown Princes Sons and Attack Them To the Point Of Said sons Needing Self Defense...Aemond got some serious balls in this au.

Also Alicent demanding Lucerys's eye and then rushing to Attack Lucerys and Rhaenryion would be fucking more insane then in the show, (considering that the show doesn't fucking get into a fraction of the realistic implications of that). Just saying that realistically, someone is going to die in this au at this moment. And it can't be Laenor since he's cool and is also the current heir. Unless of course, Viserys forbids punshment for either Aemond or Alicent which furthers the divide.

I think that if Rhaenyra was male he would not have been experiencing quite the level of casual disrespect as an adult. that happens in canon tho I did just write out why people would find him distasteful, after all, people both like and were greatly annoyed by Roberts Baratheon's whoring and drinking and they still payed him respect.

In summary of the previous shit, which I made up as I went along, in an au where Rhaenyra was male, Viserys still married Alicent, Alicent bullies and tears down Rhaenyrion as much as possible before said prince comes to a banquet with an all black suit and starts living it up by developing a martial rivalry with Criston Cole which pisses him off and being mentored by Daemon and vibing with the common people via the taverns and brothels, and hanging out with Harwin Strong and is living his best bi life is a more chill prince of the city with his beloved dragon Syrax and ends up marrying Laena Valaryon except she really really likes Daemon too and Rhaenyrion is like, damn, did I ever mentioned that i have, a very, very close friend, and she kinda asked me to promise her a major promise, Like a Promise Me, Ned type promise. And Laena's like, who the fuck is Ned. Because she has twins and Rhaenyrion is like, I gave you two freebies can I have two freebies psyche it's three because Laenor loved the last one so much.

Obviously Corlys and Rhaenys hate this sht so much but at least Laenor is alive and Laenor and Laena both want Lucerys and Baela and and Rhaenys to stay and be recognized in the family and anyone of them can be Laenor's heir and Rhaenyrion is saying me and Laena talked about it and maybe (since Alicent would rather marry a sweet girl off to fucking Aegon than my beautiful boy Jaceaerys) perhaps, Baela will be queen? Anyway a major family discussion goes down behind closed doors and Corlys just lives the rest of his life wondering why the fuck his daughter and son like fucking Targaryens so fucking much (hypocrite)

And Rhaenyrion and Laena and Daemon have a pretty good polycule going down in dragonstone and when Daemon comes back with his own "legitimate" -wink wink nudge nudge cue Otto about to have an aneurysm and Alicent getting ready to spread bitch ass rumours again - sons Rhaenyrion is like Yay more babies let me cuddle them Daemon it's my castle let me cuddle them.

And then Laena dies and Driftmark goes down and someone was 2000% going to fucking die except Viserys decided to be a long at the worst possible moment and so the Blacks go back to Dragonstone and the Greens back to Kingslanding.

And then Vaemond decides to be a little bitch (I don't know if in this au he'd straight up murder Laenor who had already desingated Rhaena and Lucerys as his heirs anyway or if hed just whine to the iron throne that this whole choosing your own heir is fucking stupid and is going against traditional law but Daemon, or Rhaenyrion, kill his ass when he calls Rhaenryions sons bastards.

The last supper thing is significantly more fucking awkward because no way in fucking hell would Alicent imply that Rhaenyrion would follow Viserys.

The main question here is how Visenya fits in this, because one, men are also capable of feeling pain over miscarriages, and also, to really temper Rhaenyrions grief and rage over the usurpers. However the only way this would happen is if he had a paramour living on dragon stone, and if he heard the news, lashed out, and was the main reason said hypothetical paramour goes into labor and stillbirth. And in typical fashion, blames the greens for what is technically his fault. But it also keeps him focused of the loss of a child that he very clearly wanted, while Daemon is doing other things, like securing Dragonstone and checking the children and grieving. But yeah he blames the greens saying that they murdered his daughter.

I think I just constructed a guy that just, really really loves his children a bit more unabashedly then Rhaenyra does. He experiences more privileges than Rhaenyra does on canon but also is like, insanely progressive as fuck for his story because, the only thing that matters is the monarch choosing their heir and Rhaenyrion took that concept to eleven. Which pissed off a lot of people but still.

There would be just a touch, a smidge, of major ass tension because people wonder is Rhaenyrion or Daemon the new king before Rhaenyrion is like oh come off it and breaks the tension. Daemon crowns his nephew obviously.

Anyway the dance goes down as it does and Rhaenyrion is remembered as that insane prince that passed off his bastards as legitimate.

Okay realistically if Rhaenyrion was real he'd probably be way smarter and a bit more capable and probably would be a year king and the dance may have taken place earlier than it did. It would be debatable if he had children or not in this au since the conflict would take place sooner tho without a doubt he is being married to Laena and it is possible that he may live longer and that Aegon II is mostly remembered as Aegon the Usurper than II. Especially because Rhaenyrion is totally going to be somewhat of a warrior if he was a guy. So he would be on the battlefield . And he'd probably have more tension with Daemon (the measuring dicks posturing kind, not the sexy kind) but i think Daemon would stick by his nephew as he did with his niece.

Also there's a good chance that Rhaenyrion would have been mentored and supported by Daemon way more because no doubt that Alicent would still bully and antagonize the shit out of Rhaenyrion but at least Rhaenyrion would have more support and been further away from Alicent then Rhaenyra got to be.

The dance potentially not changing even if Rhaenyra was Rhaenyrion just proves that the greens and everyone who supported them did for self serving ends and for greed. Not because of some women can't rule it's just that the hightowers wanted one of their own on the throne and that was just fucking it and the only entire point.

Basically Rhaenyrion would be more charming and active fellow than his great great great igaf great son Rhaegar.

And people would still ask yo what if that guy had gotten to be king maybe it would've been nice.

Anyway you did not fucking ask for this ask and to be honest this is the equivalent of me scribbling out my brain nonsense on the nearest scrap of scrap paper except it turned out to be your ask box. I was rereading some of your posts because I like rereading your posts sometimes and my brain started cooking and we basically squatted on your front porch to grill this idea. I would say a bigger sorry but I had a little too much fun writing this.

Oh wow that was heavy. You should write a fic.

This is my totally civil take about an AU where Rhaenyra is a man.

For the record I don't believe there would be a dance if Rhaenyra was a man, but it's not impossible. If there was a dance, it would be a much more clear cut situation than this though, because Rhaenyra being a woman and having sex makes her a morally grey character in the eyes of a big part of the audience. The greens would have zero support in the fandom had Rhaenyra been a man.

Pyrlig’s Spy (Sihtric x black!reader)

Summary: Father Pyrlig is your adoptive father and raised you as his own in the church. You had became a spy for King Alfred and now became a spy for his successor, Prince Edward. Father Pyrlig asks you to help Uhtred to take down Cnut and you hesitantly agreed.

Notes: GIF is not mine, all mistakes are my own, sexual themes (oral sex - fem receiving), minors DNI, this is a long one sorry not sorry

—

Uhtred went to Durham to rest his men and buy some time to figure out what to do next. As of now, him and his men were traitors to the Saxon crown. He will forever be tethered to Wessex and the Saxons. All he ever wanted for this life was to reclaim his birthright to Bebbangburg. Without an army, there was no way he could take back Bebbanburg.

“Lord,” Finan says, nudging his head in the direction of a familiar face. Uhtred’s face fell when he saw Father Pyrlig sitting at a table, reading the scroll in his hands. Uhtred stands from his table and Finan follows.

“You plan on telling Edward where I am, Father?” Uhtred asks, snapping Pyrlig out of his thoughts. “Uhtred,” he says, closing his scroll and tucking it back into his satchel. “No, I’m here on other business.” “Is that right? And what business may that be, Father? A whorehouse?” Finan teases, making Uhtred chuckle.

You heard the tail end of the conversation and didn’t like what you heard. “Mind your tongue, Dane.” You say from behind him, rounding the table. You wore a cloak with a deep hood, making it nearly impossible to reveal your features to the men before you. “Not a Dane,” Finan corrects.

“And who might you be?” Uhtred asks. “None of your business,” you snap. By this point, Osferth and Sihtric were by Uhtred’s side and Father Pyrlig stands to mediate. “Easy boys. This is my adoptive daughter, Y/N. She can be protective.” He explained. “Daughter?” It’s okay to show yourself. They are friends.” He adds.

You waited a moment before pulling back your hood as you looked at the group. “She’s beautiful,” Osferth whispers to Sihtric, warranting an elbow to his stomach. “She has a sharp tongue,” Uhtred says in a amusement. “She has a sharp sword to match,” you snark.

“Y/N, play nice.” Pyrlig states, your gaze softening when you looked at him. “It’s good to see you, Father. I have news.” You start, not wanting to debrief him in front of strangers. Sihtric in particular caught your attention, his darkened gaze awakened something in you no one else did in a long time.

“Do you trust them?” You ask Father Pyrlig. “With my life,” “Very well. There’s much to discuss. We should go somewhere private.” You stated.

**

Since the day you first met Sihtric in Durham, he’s creeped his way into your head. You can still see his gaze when your eyes are closed. Even when you are under another man, all you could think about was how it would feel to be under him.

Your cover was being a healer for the Danes. Thankfully Haesten has taken a liking to you, which further protected you in your cover. You spaced out your visits to Durham to brief Father Pyrlig to avoid suspicion. Uhtred and his men were stationed there until you gave them the window to attack and take over Cnut’s army.

You were training with Pyrlig when you felt eyes on you. You looked over your shoulder to see Sihtric glancing over at you while he brushed his horse. Pyrlig nudged you with the back of his sword, causing you to stumble. “Eyes up,” he instructs. You turn your attention back to training and crouched down into defensive position.

“Why do you stare at her and don’t say anything?” Osferth asks, brushing his own horse. “I.. always find myself at a loss for words whenever she’s near.” “What worries you, Sihtric? That she may not like you?” Sihtric spares him a glance, brushing the hay off his horse and walking to where Finan and Uhtred were sitting.

“She’s captivated by you, Sihtric.” Osferth states. “Drop it, Osferth.” He states. “Drop what?” Uhtred asks. “Nothing, lord.” Osferth spares Sihtric a glance and follows his gaze to you walking back to your hut for a bath.

Uhtred, Osferth and Finan turned in for the night. Sihtric decided to stay up late, hoping to catch you before bed. You were walking back from talking to Father Pyrlig when Sihtric caught your eye. He takes a sip of his ale and held your gaze. You’ve had enough of the stares and no talking. Your legs had a mind of its own as they strided over Sihtric.

“Is there something you wish to tell me?” You asked. “N-no, my Lady.” “Something keeping you awake?” You asked after a lengthy pause. “I’m afraid so,” “Would you want some company then?” His cheeks reddened at your words and he set down his cup. “How do you mean, my lady?”

You didn’t respond to his question. Instead, you pulled off your cloak and loosened the ties on your dress. His eyes fell to your the swells of your breasts before meeting your gaze. You gathered your cloak in your hands, walking up the steps to your hut.

You tossed the cloak on the table and pulled your gown off so your entire back was exposed before closing the door. You placed the gown on the table next to your cloak, smoothing your hands over your night gown. Sihtric contemplates what he should do next.

He hears a small voice in his head. It’s Finan’s voice saying, “Move it or lose it, idiot.” He stands from the table and made his way to your hut. He opens the door to see you sitting on your bed patiently for him. He closes the door behind him but doesn’t move from his spot in front of the door.

“Do you.. like me, Sihtric?” “Yes, I do.” “Well it doesn’t seem like it,” you stood from the bed and you could see the confliction behind his eyes. “What’s holding you back? Is it another woman?” You ask as you slowly walk around him. “No, my Lady. I am unmarried,” he answers.

“Mm, then what is it?” “You make me nervous like a young boy and his first crush. I.. can never think straight when you’re around.” “Do you wish for me to leave?” “No, lady.” “It’s Y/N,” your face was now inches from his but you only met him half way. “Y/N,” he whispers against your lips and you hummed softly.

He pushed his anxious thoughts from his head for a split second and pressed his lips to yours. He pulled away for a moment, holding your chin to deepen the kiss. Your hands fell to his biceps, take a step backward to lead him to the bed.

You pulled away from his lips and held his gaze as you sat on the bed, pulling him close by his belt. His hands covered yours, smiling at your confused expression. He pulls off his armor and shed his tunic and weapons onto the floor soon after.

He follows your lips until you laid down on your back, kissing your passionately and warmly. Taking the bottom of your night gown and lifting it over your hips. He pressed a peck to your lips before moving south, propping your legs on his shoulders.

A soft sigh leaves your lips when he licks up the stripe of your folds, lingering on your clit. He laps up your juices and circles your clit softly with the tip of tongue. You gently rolled your hips against him, groaning when his beard scratch brushed your folds. “P-please,”

He nips at the sensitive skin of your inner thigh before taking the bundle of nerves between his lips and sucking harshly at it. Your eyes rolled back, the arch in your back deepening. “Fuck, Sihtric. That feels so- oh,” he suctions and kitten licks at your clit, following the pearl with every motion of your hips, not stopping until he felt your body seize.

One of your hands gripped the sheets and the other rested on the back of his head. Your eyes screwed shut when your legs shook along with your orgasm. He pulls away from your legs, kissing your neck and rubbing his knee against your throbbing clit.

He swallowed your quiet sobs and whimpers. “Would you like me to do that again?” He asks, you moaned at the taste of your salty essence. “Is that a yes?” You held the side of his face when he moves to go back between your legs. “I-if you do that, I’ll fall unconscious before you can hump me,” you explained.

“I’d much rather lick you again, lady.” He says softly, pressing a kiss to your palm but he waits for you to nod before returning to his place between your legs. You never met a man that enjoyed giving you pleasure, let alone seek your pleasure before his. He could tell you were close to another orgasm from the intense shaking on your legs.

He kitten licks as quick as his tongue allowed. You twisted your body away from him but he wrapped his arms around your hips. You chanted his name through your orgasm, whining when he doesn’t pull away from your cunt. “No more. Gods, please!” You cried out from the overstimulation.

He pressed a kiss to your cunt before pulling away once again. He gathered you in his arms and cradling your body as you laid on his chest, smiling proudly when he sees your eyes fluttering closed.

“Lord Uhtred suggested I become a spy for him as well. Pretend to offer my sword to Cnut.” He breaks the silence, dragging his finger tips up your back. “Have you ever been a spy before?” You asked, slowly peeling your eyes open. “No,” “Then you have to be very careful,” “You worry for me already, lady?” He jokes. “Things can go wrong very fast so just promise me you’ll be careful,” you explain, holding his gaze.

“I promise,” you sighed when he pressed a lingering kiss to your forehead. “I haven’t heard Lord Uhtred talking about sending another spy,” you pondered, noticing his heart race in his chest. “It was your idea wasnt it?” You lifted your head from his chest and sat up next to him.

His heart continued to race when he saw a look of amusement in your eyes. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he defends, his eyes never leaving yours as you straddle his waist. “Mm, looks like you need something to jog your memory,”

**

You gave Sihtric basic pointers on how to not give yourself away as spy. But all of that went out of the window when he noticed how bold Haesten was. How his hand lingers on your waist and slides down below your lower back. One night, you spent the entire night on Haesten’s lap to make up for Sihtric’s staring.

In your cover, you were only attracted to Haesten and that was one thing that came to mind. Sihtric wanted to break Haesten’s neck at the sight.

But no matter how hard you tried to divert attention from Sihtric, he was caught listening to Cnut’s conversation with Haesten and Bloodhair. “Seem like we have a traitor in our midst,” Bloodhair says, dragging Sihtric from outside their tent to the center of the ground for every to see, including you.

“Oh no,” you said to yourself. “Behold! An eavesdropper! Chances are he works for the Saxon scum, King Alfred! He wishes to tell him of our plans! Whatever should we do with him?” The camp circles around as Bloodhair forced Sihtric to his knees. “Kill him!” One man said, others murmured in agreement.

Bloodhair sheaths his sword and your heart sank in your chest. “Have him fight for his freedom!” You announced, moving closer to the crowd. “He doesn’t deserve that! Kill him!” “He is still a Dane,” “A Dane that betrayed his own people for the Saxons is hardly a Dane,”

You sighed, watching as Sihtric glares up at Bloodhair. “She’s right. He’s still a Dane.” Brida tells Cnut. “Have him fight for his freedom. But not now. We need to make a new plan.” Cnut tells Bloodhair. He grips the back of Sihtric’s collar and pushed him through the crowd.

“Bind him and keep his mouth shut,” Bloodhair tells his guards. You walked back to your healer tent, not wanting anyone to see your relief that Sihtric is still breathing. “Why did you defend him?” Your heard Haesten ask from behind you.

You turned to face him and he closed the space between you. “I’m.. not like you guys. I heal people, I don’t kill them. I don’t like seeing death either.” It was a lie obviously. This wasnt your first spy mission He stared at you a moment and you looked at him with sad eyes. “You’re too pure for a place like this, love.” He finally says, holding your face in his hands.

“Come by my tent tonight?” He questions, but you took it as a statement. “Okay,” he nudges his nose against yours before pulling away from you. You returned to your tent, never glancing in Sihtric’s direction. You kept an ear out for when the supposed fight but it never came.

It was close to sunset and you decided to take your chance. You tucked your knife under your gown as you made your way to the stables to get your horse. You brought it the edge of the the forest line, letting it feed on the grass there.

You waited until most of the men were eating or talking amongst themselves to approached the tent that Sihtric was held in. Two guards were outside the tent. You took the knife from his clapped a hand over one’s mouth and slit his throat. Dragging him behind the tent, you waited until the remaining guard rounded the corner.

He gripped his neck as you severed his corrotid. You glanced around before entering the tent, pressing your index finger to your lips when Sihtric’s eyes cut to yours. You quickly cut through his bindings and cut a hole through the back of the tent.

You peeked your head through the hole you made and ran like hell towards your horse. Brida caught movement in the corner of her eye, her jaw clenched when she saw you and Sihtric running towards the forest. “The traitors are getting away! Archers, kill them!” Brida orders.

Some archers rushed to their horses. You and Sihtric already mounted your horse. You took the reigns into your hands, turn the horse to move south when you felt a pinch on your arm. “Ah, fuck!” You looked down to see an arrow piercing straight through your arm.

“Y/N,” Sihtric says worryingly. You snapped the reigns and your horse dashed through the forest. You and Sihtric ducked to avoid anymore arrows while your arm throbs. When you cut through a path and lose the archers, your adrenaline slowly dwindled away and the pain took over.

“We should stop. Get you help.” He suggests. “We can’t. We need to keep moving. It’s fine as long as the arrow is still in my arm. The second you take it out, the bleeding will worsen.” “I’m sorry. This is all my fault.” “Stop that. Just.. hold me until we get to Durham.”

He nods in agreement, wrapping his arms around your and took the reigns into his hands. He places a kiss behind your ear. The peace of the forest, your horse’s soft clicks of her footsteps and chirps of the birds calmed your nerves. You closed your eyes for a moment, leaning further into Sihtric’s chest and thoroughly enjoying his warmth. “Why did you sacrifice the cover you’ve built for weeks, to save me?” He asks after a few paces of silence.

“I’ve seen enough death for a lifetime.. I didn’t intend to see another.” You explained softly. He cupped your chin and turned your face until you were looking over your shoulder. He rested his forehead on your, brushed the tip of his nose against yours.

“Thank you,” he pressed his lips to yours, humming into the kiss. “You saw what Haesten did, didn’t you?” You asked with a pained laugh. “I wanted to break his hands. You’re mine. Not his.” you let out another laugh, wincing when your arm flexed unintentionally. “So I take it, my cover was convincing?” He hummed in response, kissing behind your ear again.

[fan-mans]

I've seen quite a few people posit headcanon names for the Wii boxers so I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring for shits and giggles!

Explanations for the meaning and some history behind their names and stage names included too!

Glass Joe: Joseph Fournier-Proulx.

Joseph means "He will add" in Hebrew. Fournier, while literally meaning 'oven' in French, is equivalent to the surname 'baker' in English. Proulx comes from the Old French 'preau', meaning 'valiant' or 'brave'.

Joe has two surnames because of the fact that his father vanished shortly before he was born. Because of their father's absence, their mother put a lot of him and his sister's documents under her maiden name (Fournier) mostly to keep their father's family from getting involved with them.

Joseph had a middle name when he was younger, but when he changed his name during his transition, he dropped it. He never liked having a middle name at all and thought it make his name too cumbersome.

He mainly uses Fournier on non-significant documents, but prefers to sign Fournier-Proulx on everything else.

Von Kaiser: Wilhelm Raskopf

Wilhelm comes from William, which itself comes from Willehelm, literally meaning 'will helmet', but could be interpreted as 'desire to protect' or 'desiring protection'. Raskopf means 'quick headed' and derives from a nickname.

Wilhelm's younger brother is named Wilfried (Desiring peace), both names chosen by their deceased mother.

He goes by 'Helm' while his brother goes by 'Fried' or 'Freddy' to close friends.

He doesn't have a middle name, but always like the idea of making it Alida (Nobility), after his mother.

Disco Kid: D’Andre (Enrique?) Tawfeek

D'Andre is a black American name meaning The Andrew, Andrew itself meaning 'manly' or 'masculine'. Enrique is the Spanish variant of Henry, meaning 'home ruler'. Tawfeek is an alternate transcription of the name Tawfiq meaning 'good fortune' in Arabic.

D'Andre prefers people call him by his full first name, but allows close friends to call him 'Andy' or 'D-anne', in the case of his beloved uncle.

Because his uncle was kicked out of the family, his parents died when he was an infant, and his name was changed by a foster family when he was a child, neither he nor his uncle are sure if he has a middle name. However, he is very set on 'Enrique' being his middle name and nothing has shaken him on that.

Despite the name change, he refused to go by his new name as a kid. He remembered his first name and changed it back once he was adopted by his uncle.

King Hippo: Ariinui Teheiura

Ariinui is a Tahitian name that means 'noble and big'. Teheiura is a Tahitian name meaning 'the red crown'.

Ariinui's island, called hippo island in English, is very close to Tahiti and shares a very similar language. The two islands share a lot of name overlap as well!

He has no idea why people make jokes about his last name, but doesn't like it nontheless.

Prefers their name the be shortened as 'nui', if it's shortened at all.

Piston Hondo: Akahiko Kawaguchi

Akahiko is a very rare Japanese name meaning 'red boy' or 'red prince'. Kawaguchi means 'mouth of the river'.

Technically, he's the 4th Akahiko in his lineage, but doesn't put a number behind his name because the last Akahiko was 2 generations back.

At one point, during a punk phase, he considered renaming himself 'nuclear waste' in Japanese. His sister knocked some sense back into him but he uses that name for most of his private online profiles.

When he was younger, the rarity of his name was very embarrassing and he wished he was named Yoshirō (Righteous son), after his father. Nowadays, he feels much better about his name and thinks it's cool.

Bear Hugger: Orson Fisher

Orson is derived from the French 'bear'. Fisher comes from the German Fischer, meaning 'fisherman', and is a Jewish name as well.

Orson doesn't like comparisons to Orson Welles and finds it pretty annoying. He won't be mean about it but he will be very passive aggressive if you do it more than once.

His stage name is partially inspired by his first name. He was afraid it was dumb at first, but it grew on him a lot.

He has a Hebrew name as well- Dov ha-Rav

Great Tiger: Samir Raj-Singh

Samir is a Sanskrit name meaning 'wind' or 'air'. Raj is Sanskrit for 'king', while Singh is Sanskrit for 'lion' and is given to all male Sikh followers as a surname.

He's perfectly fine with being called 'Sam', but tends to find people assume his name is Samuel because of it. This annoys him, but not as much as people assuming he must be Hindu because his last name is Raj.

He uses two surnames because his grandfather couldn't decide on whether to change his surname in accordance with Sikh practices or to keep his surname. It has caused Samir a bit of paperwork trouble, but overall, he likes how double surnames feel.

Don started calling him Mimir (Spanish babytalk for sleep) as a joke, which eventually turned into a silly nickname used by the entire major circuit.

Don Flamenco: Donato Gallardo

Donato means 'given' in Latin. Gallardo means 'gallant' or 'elegant' in Spanish

Don almost never goes by Donato, feeling it's too formal for his relaxed lifestyle and personality.

The name 'Flamenco' came from a joke by a family friend, who called Don and his father 'senior Flamenco' because of their dancer-like elegance as matadors.

His middle name was going to be Ariel (Lion of God), but his parents decided against it when The Little Mermaid came out, leaving him the only one of their children without a middle name.

Aran Ryan: Aran {Redacted} Ryan

Aran- the Irish name- comes from the anglicized name of the Aran Islands, whose name is of unknown meaning, though it may come from the Old Irish word ará, meaning 'kidney'. Ryan is anglicized from Rian, meaning 'little king'.

The name he uses for himself is the same as his ring name, however, it is not his legal name! His legal name is a deadname which he vehemently protects from anyone who didn't know him before transition. He hasn't been able to legally change it for a variety of reasons but has however, decided to keep his middle name, even if he never dares put it on legal paperwork.

He will violently manifest in your house if you joke that his name is the Irish word for bread (arán). Aran is very emotionally attached to his name and such jokes press on a very tender nerve regarding his native language and his identity.

Initially, he was going to spell it as Árann, the Irish name for the Aran islands, but a combination of people constantly mispronouncing it and misspelling it made him change it. People still mispronounce Aran as Erin, though, and he's given up correcting them.

Soda Popinski: Ivan Valentin Polyanski

Ivan is a new form of an old Slavic variant of John, meaning 'god is gracious'. Valentin comes from Valentine, meaning 'strong', 'vigorous', and 'healthy'. Polyanski means 'from fields'.

Though a lot of people make fun of his middle name, he was never effected by it and finds it quite charming.

The name 'Popinski' came from a boxing announcer misreading Polyanski- Ivan found the mistake absolutely hilarious and chose to base himself on a soda theme because of it.

Ivan frequently has to correct people on the pronunciation of his name- it's pronounced almost exactly like even in Russian.

Bald Bull: Halim Uysal

Halim means 'patient', 'tolerant', and 'mild' in Arabic and Turkish. Uysal means 'docile', 'easygoing', and 'mild' in Turkish.

Halim is very protective of his name around press for the sake of his privacy, especially when in New York. He will even go so far as to sign things as 'Bald Bull' to not dox himself.

Him and his parents get a kick out of the irony of his name. As a child, he was far more calm and timid around press but adulthood stripped what patience he had away and replaced it with anger.

Uysal often auto corrects to Ulysses (Latin form of Odysseus, meaning 'to hate'), which led to it becoming a sort of code name by the world circuit to protect him. Mask-X is a similar code name which turned into a stage identity of it's own.

Super Macho Man: Tyler David Harris-Levine

Tyler comes from the word 'Tiler' as in someone who does tiling work. David is a Hebrew name meaning 'beloved' as well as 'uncle'. Harris means 'son of Harry', which itself means 'home ruler'. Levine is a Jewish name, from the name Levi, meaning 'joined'.

Though David is technically his middle name, Tyler prefers to use it as a second first name. When writing it out, you'll be lucky if he has any consistency with what firstname + surname combo he uses.

He accepts any shortening of Tyler, with some of his cousins even calling him just 'ler', but hates when David is shortened to 'Dave'. He'll only correct you once before he starts getting serious about it.

His Hebrew name wasn't given to him at birth because his mother wasn't sure if she would raise him with Judaism and his dad wanted him to have a choice about anything regarding religion. Either way, his Hebrew name is David he-Levi.

Mr. Sandman: Michael Alexander Ali

Michael is a Hebrew name meaning 'Who is like god?' as a rhetorical question. Alexander comes from Alexandros, meaning 'defending men'. Ali is an Arabic surname meaning 'lofty' or 'sublime'.

The name 'Sandman' comes from his family and friend's shortening his middle name to 'sandy'. He's used to all kinds of weird nicknames so if you call him it long enough, he'll respond to just about anything (Including Jackass, which the rest of the world circuit calls him affectionately)

Though Mike shares his name with his deceased great uncle, and his mother swears she named him after said beloved uncle, she and his father actually got inspiration from Mike Tyson.

His Hebrew name is Mikha'el ben Adi.

Little Mac: Mackenzie Louis

Mackenzie is anglicized from the Scottish name Mac Coinnich, which means 'son of Coinneach', which itself means 'handsome' or 'fair'. Louis is the Latinized form of Ludwig, meaning 'famous in battle'.

Though people constantly bug him about having a girl's name and have told him to change it to be more 'manly', Mac can't bear the thought of parting with the only thing he has left of his parents.

He is Mac ONLY. If you call him 'kenzie. You. will. die.

His original surname is a mystery, so he was named 'Doe' in his foster records for a while. After Doc adopted him, he took on his last name.

Doc Louis: Jerome Zachary Louis

Jerome is Greek, meaning 'sacred name'. Zachary comes from Greek, meaning 'Yahweh remembers". Louis is the Latinized form of Ludwig, meaning 'famous in battle'.

Some people pronounce his name as 'Jeremy' which he does not understand.

He considered giving Mac his middle name after adopting him, but decided against it.

He got the nickname 'Doc' because he worked as a medic for the wvba before entering the ring as a professional.

My Interpretation of Aegon's Green Banner

The change to make Aegon's banner green and gold instead of black of gold is an interesting one. In the book the three-headed dragon from House Targaryen is changed from red to gold, which is a reference to Aegon's dragon, Sunfyre. In the show, while Aegon's gold dragon remains the same, the field (background of the sigil) is changed from black to green. This is a clear reference to the green flames on his mother's house's sigil, House Hightower (a show invention, but a clever one). The color is also frequently worn by his mother as a way to show allegiance to her house.

The simplest explanation, is that it's just an aesthetic choice to make things easier on the viewer. Personally, I think that is rather silly, as the different banners would signal whose fighting regardless if they matched the Green and Black faction names, and you should trust your audience to know which is which through showcasing that in the show.

However, I'm going to add my two cents in. It's true that it seems odd for Aegon to honor his Hightower blood, as that is through his mother's line, and Aegon is a misogynist. I believe that he chose the color scheme out of his personal relationships with his mother, Alicent, and his father, Viserys.

In the show, Viserys is shown to be very neglectful towards his children with Alicent as time goes on. While he may say he loves them, he does not show it, and it is made clear that Alicent is the one who does the vast majority of child-rearing between the two. Therefore, while Aegon and Alicent have far from the ideal mother-son relationship, he at the very least, knew that his mother did care about him.

EDIT:

And to further drive my point home, Tom Glynn-Carney, Aegon's actor, actually elaborated on Aegon's feeling towards his family and heritage in an interview when asked about why Aegon's hair is shorter than other Targaryen princes with The Hollywood Reporter - “That was from discussions Miguel and I had at the start...I was like, ‘I don’t want him to have long, luscious Targaryen locks, because he hates that.’ Like [his character’s brother] Aemond is completely reveling in it. Whereas Aegon just throws it away. He was like, ’Take it off!’ He doesn’t want to be defined by his family. He hates his family because — in his head — they hate him.” Essentially, Aegon does not feel close to his Targaryen heritage, and distances himself away from it in the little ways he can, such as through cutting off his hair. This plays into the irony of his symbols of legitimacy being directly tied to Targaryen heritage and power: his name, the Blackfyre sword, and the Conqueror's crown. But, that resentment would still be there, so the act of switching up the banner colors would still be something I could see him doing. END OF EDIT.

Therefore, while Aegon may be far from any sort of ally to women, he choses to honor his mother, as she's the parent that stepped-up. And this is actually not at all uncommon behavior for abusive and misogynistic men, many of whom, put their mother's on a pedestal/uplift/honor them but would not hesitate to tear down or harm other women.

That or, Otto just forced Aegon to adopt the Hightower colors for his banner out of sheer hubris *shrugs.*

I'll do an interpretation of Rhaenyra's banner when we get an official one. So far all we've gotten is the chainmail one which may or may not be official. It will be interesting to see if we get the quartered sigil or not.

[horizon-verizon]

You are convinced that Aemond raped Alys and your reasoning is "Alys Rivers was a war prize “proving” Aemond’s power and military prowess. If you are taken as a war prize, you are an object, a literal reward or prize. You have no ability to even give consent because your other option is violence/death. Aemond raped her and this son is a rape baby." Your words not mine. Then I click on your blog and you ship Rhaegar and Lyanna lol lets apply that logic to them now! The Greens suck but come on.

Disclaimer: I might edit this post a lot because I might realize some things to add.

1)

Did you know, anon, that the word “rape” in medieval society could either mean the sexual attack or just straight up taking a woman/girl away from her father/brother/husband’s control and authority? Or whenever a female laborer of a household has been taken out of her previous household, unlicensed by her lord?

Its roots come from the Latin word, “rapere” and its past participle “raptus”:

“the usual Latin word being stuprare "to defile, ravish, violate," which is related to stuprum (n.) "illicit sexual intercourse," literally "disgrace," stupere "to be stunned, stupefied" (see stupid). Latin raptus, past participle of rapere, used as a noun meant "a seizure, plundering, abduction”

Rape had the legal and cultural meaning of “property-taking”, sometimes more than when a someone forced a woman into sex. And it comes from ancient Roman culture, literature, and ideas medieval societies would be adopting into their own systems (Ovid's Fasti and Livy's History of Rome): The Rape of Lucrece. 

Of which medieval or Reniassance writers have made use to create doubt and suspicion for the state of their various female character’s chastity. Why does such matter in those stories? A woman’s chastity is linked to nation building and male-alliances. Marriages were for alliance, resources and power -- not love. Lyanna was arranged to marry Robert because of power and resources and to strengthen/solidify the alliance already set up by Ned and Robert’s friendship before.

So when we go back to A World of Ice and Fire, which says:

“Brandon Stark, the heir to Winterfell, had to be restrained from confronting Rhaegar at what he took as a slight upon his sister's honor, for Lyanna Stark had long been betrothed to Robert Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End. Eddard Stark, Brandon's younger brother and a close friend to Lord Robert, was calmer but no more pleased. As for Robert Baratheon himself, some say he laughed at the prince's gesture, claiming that Rhaegar had done no more than pay Lyanna her due...but those who knew him better say the young lord brooded on the insult, and that his heart hardened toward the Prince of Dragonstone from that day forth.” (pg. 127)

We get the sense that the Starks percieved Rhaegar taking Lyanna and even just gifting her the crown of blue roses as defiling her female chastity. It wasn’t about her and what she wanted it was about Robert’s claim over her. And it was more about Ned’s ties to Robert and why he was sent to the Eyrie to be fostered in the first place, where he befriended Robert -- to create alliances amongst various families.

By contrast, Lyanna clearly did not want, respect, nor love Robert. When we read AGoT and keep track of Lyanna and Rhaegar (not their families, but themselves), we see that Lyanna wanted Rhaegar over Robert and they formed a genuine relationship.

She expressed to Ned:

"Robert will never keep to one bed,” Lyanna had told him at Winterfell, on the night long ago when their father had promised her hand to the young Lord of Storm's End. "I hear he has gotten a child on some girl in the Vale." Ned had held the babe in his arms; he could scarcely deny her, nor would he lie to his sister, but he had assured her that what Robert did before their betrothal was of no matter, that he was a good man and true who would love her with all his heart. Lyanna had only smiled. "Love is sweet, dearest Ned, but it cannot change a man's nature.”

(A Game of Thrones; Eddard IX )

AND

"You never knew Lyanna as I did, Robert," Ned told him. "You saw her beauty, but not the iron underneath. She would have told you that you have no business in the melee."

(A Game of Thrones; Eddard VII)

AND

Robert reached for the flagon and refilled his cup. "You see what she does to me, Ned." The king seated himself, cradling his wine cup. "My loving wife. The mother of my children." The rage was gone from him now; in his eyes Ned saw something sad and scared. "I should not have hit her. That was not … that was not kingly." He stared down at his hands, as if he did not quite know what they were. “I was always strong … no one could stand before me, no one. How do you fight someone if you can’t hit them?” Confused, the king shook his head. “Rhaegar … Rhaegar won, damn him. I killed him, Ned, I drove the spike right through that black armor into his black heart, and he died at my feet. They made up songs about it. Yet somehow he still won. He has Lyanna now, and I have her.” The king drained his cup.”

(A Game of Thrones; Eddard X)

So, if Robert, a canon and confirmed serial rapist (Cersei) and sexual abuser of children (that 14 year old sex worker that even Ned was like “...bro”) by the time he was 40ish, could not see that Lyanna did not want him and only thought of how pretty she was....while Rhaegar gifted her the crown of roses for her participation and victories at the Harrenhal tourney (however politically stupid it was)...who’s the true rapist here? Would Robert have respected Lyanna’s indifference to him if they did get married? Fuck no.

So if there were any persons defining and saying Lyanna was raped, it was never her or about sexual rape but those who would have benefited more from Lyanna marrying Robert & about “stealing” virginity.

And if you wonder why I bother to introduce medieval society when this is a fictional story with European medieval-inspired and not-so-differently modeled infrastructures and ideologies.....I can’t help you.

2)

Lyanna was 16 when they left for the Tower of Joy and had Rhaegar’s child, and they met when she was 15 at the Harrenhal tourney. 

We remember that she was betrothed to Robert before she turned 16, and Robert was 19/20 at the Harrenhal tourney. 

Rhaegar was 22/23 at the tourney and 23/24 when he went with Lyanna to the Tower of Joy.

Lyanna, by real, American, modern standards, is a minor/child by the time she’s pregnant with Rhaegar’s kid, but she’s an adult by the Westerosi age of majority. And she’s past marriageable age. 

To totally ignore that noble women of both real life and Westeros actively were treated as adults and like Rhaenyra Targaryen, and participated in politics as if they were adults is to:

deny any reality of their political and psychological autonomy and ability to reason

suppose that the man she chose broke a law or principle that is then recognized as a crime

....but if you go back to how I bring up the definition of “rape” and what that means for male-alliances, then you should realize that the crime that anyone would have thought what happened was that Lyanna was not passed into Robert’s authority (and out of her father and brothers’) and Rhaegar intercepted that licensed transfer.

3)

Robert is Rhaegar’s foil. Rhaegar displays an sense of responsibility and emotional intelligence (if not always a political one) that Robert simply lacks and never bothers to develop.

A foil is:

a literary device designed to illustrate or reveal information, traits, values, or motivations of one character through the comparison and contrast of another character. A literary foil character serves the purpose of drawing attention to the qualities of another character, frequently the protagonist. This is effective as a means of developing a deeper understanding of a character by emphasizing their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, a literary foil allows writers to create a counterpart for the protagonist that puts their actions and choices in context.

And you can look up Rhaegar’s characterization by clicking HERE (of what I collected). But the universal consensus (except for Robert, but fuck him) is that Rhaegae was generally both a good and impressive person. He was loved by most and even Robert didn't dislike him until he gave Lyanna the crown and stepped on his "turf".

It is actually more in Robert’s than Rhaegar’s character to rape. Robert thinks Rhaegar raped Lyanna (the other meaning) because he would have raped her. Because to him, "rape" is unallowed transfer of a woman's body, not about her consent. He feels every man naturally thinks and would treat Cersei/Lyanna as he does/would have. (Meanwhile, can we say that his own friend, Ned, that he would do that to a woman?)

Rhaegar was a gloomy person and mimics the Byronic Hero trope; Lyanna was a lot more positive and vibrant, mimicking the Rebellious Princess or Spirited Young Lady tropes:

The Rebellious Princess is usually a teenager, typically brash (since it goes hand in hand with being rebellious). If she's not the hero, quite often she's the hero's love interest. This will sometimes invoke Marry for Love not only as another way for her to rebel, but to also get out of an Arranged Marriage. She usually qualifies as a Royal Who Actually Does Something.

Thus these two embody Forbidden Love, Opposites Attract, and dabble into Good, Bad Adultery.

Edit: I just realized that Rhaegar also fits into the Royal Who Actually Does Something Trope. Also, he and Lyanna are the inversed versions of their traditional gendered roles: Rhaegar becomes the musical, singing quieter lady imbued with remembrances for a time past while Lyanna actively participates in tourneys and masculinized quests/journeys like the Prince Charming/Knight in Shining Armor. Subversion of narrative and gender tropes!

Rhaegar loved Lyanna for:

her bravery and passion

protecting those needing to protecting

her determination to stand up for what she thinks is right despite constrictions placed on her bc of youth and gender

Lyanna loved Rhaegar because:

he had much more of a sense of responsibility and the sense of grief that comes with his need to "fix" certain wrongs in their current society (thus was more...he cared more than any other person, regardless of gender, about what it means to rule apart from having power) 

that that responsibility went even beyond her

that that sense of responsibility went further than most noblemen’s while not trying to change or repress her, nor disregard her entire personality for his own sense of power or (for him, nonexistent) fantasies of her person

his passion

And tropes =/= “trite” or cliche. You can think of them as building blocks for themes, storylines, and characterizations.

Martin has painstakingly made sure to convey that their story and deaths are tragic not just for them and their families, but for Rhaegar’s ambition to remodel and begin to reverse the damages done in Westerosi history after having learned of the prophecy.

What defines a war prize, anon? Assuming you’ve read the post you seem to be referring to (this ONE), you should know that they are people or things that a warrior claims or is given as a reward for victory or conquest during/after a war/a battle.

Lyanna and Rhaegar form a romantic bond and they go off together before Rhaegar ever actually battles anyone or there was a war happening. Before Robert rebels and lords begin to gather weapons and troops.

It begins with him giving her the crown for Queen of Love and Beauty at the Harrenhal tourney, passing his own wife. You can look at all the posts I have tagged “lyanna and rhaegar”, or click HERE for more.

So just by definition of a war prize, Lyanna was never a war prize.

FE3H and Mothers

One of the biggest glaring narrative flaws in FE3H, is the lack of Mother characters. Its lack removes a lot of potential nuance from a game that is intended to explore divided loyalties amongst many characters as one of the features of the game is the sheer number of recruitable characters for your personal faction. 

Yes we get Father and brother and uncles, but of named mother female characters I can recall three off the top of my head, and two are dead, one is DLC dropped and the last is Rhea. Yes, Patricia, Sitri, and Rhea. And this makes the game rather empty in ways. Where is the family Drama? Shouldn't recruiting Lorenz, a noble of the Alliance, to black eagle strike force, put him in conflict with both noble parents' lineages? Caspar can potentially come into conflict with his Step-Uncle, but not anyone from his mothers side of the family? And Crucially, does no one from Dimitri's mothers family care that he is crown prince? Does it never occur to them to be in his life? Does that fact really not matter to them even when the country is at war!? The fact that the named mothers can be counted on one hand is particularly rude, when it wouldn't even cost much to give a name. Caspars grandfather's second but favored Wife, can now become Daria. The late Queen Bláthnat, can be Dimitris' mother. Just giving them a name is less awkward than talking around one. 

*this was mostly written pre Hopes, and therefore I need to add that Claude's mother is named Tiana, and Felix has a mother and Siblings. Absolute What!

**I have been informed, that as of Hopes, Sylvains mother is confirmed alive. Still far more baffled by Felix, as that really seems like it should have been relevent for Rodrigue to bring up. Then again, the second part of houses is set in the future, things could have changed in between verses.

***Linhardt's mother is alive, as found in a note to confessional where he worries about his parents reactions.

So I'm going to sort the Character's by Mother aliveness going from known alive, presumably alive, presumably dead, confirmed dead, and adopted Orphan. Also going to make a sibling mention. 

*Presumably* means I could not find the information on initial search, and /or its a spoiler I haven't heard from Hopes. Huberts living fam, was a support mention to Lysithea. Some have more supporting base then others, such as Mercedes mother who is described as too old to have more kids, but Mercy has an adopted father.

[lowkeyclueless5137]

OK ok... You are probably very tired with me popping from the grave on the writing side of Tumblr with sum chaos.

But this one is a very old au that got a revamp...

Lowkey considering making a smol masterpost with all the aus in explanation format I have left around here. And I might add... -3-

Anyway! Enough sidetrack! On with the clownery! Because this is gonna be super crack.

First up... A bit of history! When I first discovered Ao3 and the twst tag... I found an Au similar to this one, but it focused more on the fantasy-medieval aspects with a much more different lore and all that. Unfortunately I couldn't find it any more and I was very bummed, cuz I really liked it... ;-;

But anyway... The only thing I took from it was the 'everyone except Malleus' is a dragon idea. But even that is changed, because Silver is a human mage in this. Malleus is the only magicless human out of the main boys rooster. The rest is all lore and story made by me. This was made a long time back then and only now I've revamped it with the new masquerade event's premise.

Anyway! History aside! Now onto the real thing! Since I do have a oneshot with it, I will have to cover up that one too along with the rest of the story and the events.

Fair warning, this will have small spoilers for the glorious masquerade event.

You have been warned twice!

Now onto the start! This takes place in our world this time. No Yuu and Grim for this one, so sorry to dissapoint :'3

Malleus was the prince of the Thorn country, traditionally named Thorn Valley, in the North East of Europe, quite small but just vibing with it's long ass history record. The capital was the Flower City, famous for all of the flower kinds that bloom in the citizens's gardens. A big river crosses it, having the most prestigious high school, the Noble Bell College, on a small Isle formed on the river.

Malleus attended NBC, but he had some beef with the students in there.

It was a tradition for the unmarried teens and adults to wear veils. The veils colors would represent different statuses or states the said person is currently having.

A blue veil simbolised the fact that the person came from a normal family.

A green veil simbolised a higher status, such as council members or rich people.

An oxblood color meant that the said person was a widow. This type of veil would only be worn when mourning by the widow themselves.

A purple veil meant that the person in question was betrothed to someone.

A white veil is only worn one day before, on the wedding day and one day after it.

And a black veil is worn by the royal heir of the throne. And only by them until they marry or get crowned.

This tradition did fade in with the time and only a select few actually keep it every day. Most do wear them on special days and celebrations. But the Royal family was the only one who wasn't allowed to give those traditions away.

Hence Malleus had to wear a black veil over his face whenever he was walking through the Palace or appearing publicly as the prince. It was forbidden for anyone except his family to see his face. In order to not attract more unwanted attention and get himself in danger, Malleus had a secret identity as a simple citizen. So when he went to school he would wear just a blue veil. The students always told him he was 'way too into traditions'.

The only one who knows Malleus's double identity was Silver. Silver was the adopted son of Lilia, a previous royal guard and from what Malleus knew, Lilia was and still is very close to his grandma, the current Queen. (Malleus's mother married before she got crowned and ran away when Malleus was born, therefore now Malleus was the direct heir to the throne)

So one day, during summer holiday, towards its end... Silver tells Malleus that he's going to transfer schools. Malleus does get a bit excited, since silver was going to a public high school and that could mean he had a chance of going to a private school like NBC.

Only for silver to tell him that he will go abroad along his father. This kinda has Malleus in a down mood, since silver was his only friend and the 2 were like that since little.

But silver does reassure that they will keep in touch. After all, these 2 are sending each other memes at 3 am every night.

Malleus was quite bummed by the fact that his only friend would go aboard. His only shot at getting out of that beef he had at NBC was to tell his grandma, who was very mad at him for trying to run away instead of facing his problems and make peace with the ones he had beef with. But nonetheless, teens were hard to make amends with, so she did indulge to transfer Malleus, only if he would choose what he thinks it's suitable for him.

Problem was... Malleus couldn't choose. Therefore no transfer. U-U

It was the night before the first day of school and after dinner, Malleus was the first one to raise up. He was bummed that silver is now aboard and probably making a whole new bunch of friends. He was bummed he still had to deal with NBC and it's very religious code. Like cut him some slack. Isn't it enough that Malleus deals with the whole 'you're royalty, you have to respect the traditions' thing?

So while Malleus contemplated on the hall, he gets called by a mirror. Being very curious and reeking of smooth brain, Malleus gets closer to it.

Thankfully, his grandma comes after him, only for her to witness how a mirror just yanked her grandson through it.

When Malleus wakes up, he immediately just falls out of a coffin, in some wierd af robes, thankfully his black veil still being kept.

He noticed how all of the persons around him were wearing the same wierd robes, with hoods up. The difference was that those persons had horns, some having even animal ears that were protected by the horns. Tails and wings were also present too. The said people just looked wierdly at him, before a few whispered in between them and suddenly they cleared around Malleus as if he had some kind of disease.

Crowley didn't realise that Malleus was a magicless hooman and nudges him to go and be sorted by the dark mirror.

What does the mirror tell him? That he's a magicless human. :3

But also the mirror states that this magicless human will have to be welcomed with open arms by NRC, as he is needed in here. So that was what prevented Crow man from just kicking Malleus back home.

For the night, Malleus was taken by Lilia, the dormleader of diasomnia, and Silver, who turned out to be a human mage.

Silver does explain to Malleus that yes, there is magic and yes, currently they are on another continent hidden from the magicless humans. Lilia was a dragon Fae, more akin to a bat than the beast Malleus imaginated.

So for now, Malleus is sharing a room with silver. Yay :D

The next day, Crowley finally thinks he found Malleus's purpose in this school: Free Janitor!

And his first task was: cleaning the main street. Malleus surely wasn't put to do such work that usually servants do, but here he was, sweeping the main street.

At one point, he meets Ace, who explains to him about the great seven and why they were so respected among dragons. After that, Malleus does explain to Ace that him wearing a veil means that he sticks to the traditions of the country he comes from.

In the end, Ace becomes annoying and Malleus bonks him with the broom. It ends up with the 2 making a mess around and Ace perching on the statue of the queen of hearts in order to get Malleus.

But because Ace has Claws, he tartered the statue and Crowley had to punish both of them by cleaning the cafeteria windows.

Malleus is very salty about it. He does meet up with Silver, who had PE as the next lesson. Silver was in 1-D along Sebek, but he didn't know where 1-A holded their classes. And so, Malleus simply was left to wonder on his own.

He ends up distracted by a gargoyle and meets up Deuce, who had to listen to a long rant about gargoyles. Tbh Deuce kinda got interested in the subject and decided to help out Malleus with catching Ace, who clearly ditched the work.

Malleus should have known that he should've stopped Adeuce the second these 2 were duking it out. But he had to choose to be a 'good janitor' and already start the work without looking at Ace and Deuce.

Until he hears a crash. And Malleus turns around to see the fucked up Chandelier and Adeuce pointing at each other.

And bad over bad, crow man comes. And is right about to expel them if they don't come by the next day with a magic gem from the mine.

Welp... They are fucked...

They find the abandoned cottage and Malleus discovers that apparently not all dragons spit out fire. They nonetheless find a way to light up a candle and off they were in the mine.

Because dragons have this talent of finding shiny things, they quickly find a stone. But because they couldn't just use magic and potentially destroy the whole shabby mine down... They had to find a tool to poke it out of there.

Malleus sees a handle and immediately thinks it's a pickaxe or something to mine with. So he picks it up.

It immediately goes boom! Adeuce panic since they thought the human just exploded.

No... Malleus didn't explode... But the ceiling of the mine sure did. And so did the wall with the gem, revealing even more magical stones. Malleus reveals that the said tool he grabbed was a sword, so he throws it away cuz now they didn't need it anymore. They just grab as many gems as their pockets could handle and off they are.

Except that the wierd gloopy monster was there... And it was NOT happy that these 3 were 'stealing their stones'. So it chases after them. Lucky for the trio, they could escape through the ceiling of the mine.

As they do get down in front of the mine tho, the monster immediately tracked them down and found these idiots. Now they couldn't fly through the trees, so they resorted to running.

In the end it's needed for Malleus to step in and stop Adeuce from bickering. And when he demands silence, ya know what happens?

The mcfucking sword comes back and plunges in a tree, nearly cutting off Malleus's ear. The sword was now clean, showing it's glass blade and silver handle. The 3 are scared shitless bc cursed sword almost cut off their heads.

But in the end, they use it along Deuce's Cauldron spell and Ace being annoying, in order to kill off the monster. They run off and don't even dare to look back.

Malleus tried to throw away the sword, but it kept coming back, which was far more freaky than they anticipated.

So they return to the headmaster and give him one magic stone(Malleus gives it bc neither Ace or Deuce wanted to let go of their treasure). After that, Malleus shows the sword and asks why it followed him.

Crowley loses his shit when he sees it. This makes the 3 to be curious of what could this possibly mean.

Crowley reveals that the sword Malleus brought with him was a ghost blade. An aincent weapon that chooses it's owner, as the power it holds is something everyone can use for good or for bad.

The ghost blade could copy any kind of magic into it and use it without any kind of drawback. All 3 boys are surprised to hear that this sword was a magic weapon, an extinct one at that.

And that the magicless human WAS CHOSEN TO WIELD IT!?!

That detail totally slipped by them. Adeuce and Malleus were just celebrating that now all 3 of them were classmates and that they avoided expulsion. And also that they actually survived that monster. :'3

The next day, in the diasomnia lounge, Silver and Lilia were chatting when Malleus comes in his take on the uniform. No vest or armband as he wasn't officially apart of any dorm, along with his hair in a ponytail, tied up with the veil that wasn't on his face anymore.

Starting from today, Malleus was going to be just a normal human student trying to master the ghost blade! No more prince and royal responsabilities!

And so, Malleus meets up again with Adeuce and together, all 3 decide to find a place where they could train with the sword.

They find the Ramshackle and decided that 'yep! It's perfect!'.

So first, they try to copy Ace's wind magic. They didn't know how to do that, so Malleus bonked Ace with the sword.

It worked! Now they could see wind swirling inside the glass blade. Malleus makes a swing with it and it released a wind gush.

Deuce was in awe, so he touched the blade, telling Malleus that he wants to see if he can copy his ice spell. It works! Now the blade was looking like it was made out of ice. They froze Ace's tail, making the ginger to whine about it.

All breaks, the 3 would play around with the sword in the Ramshackle yard.

At one point, Silver came after Malleus, since it was dinner time and so, Diasomnia residents had to be very discret when going to the cafeteria. Malleus asks why and silver responds with 'Lilia's in the kitchen'. It was enough to know why.

Deuce offers to visit Heartslabyul and maybe ask if the 2 of them could have something to eat. Ace is still a bit salty about the frozen tail, but nonetheless accepted, bc it was fun to mess around with Malleus's sword.

So the 4 are headed towards the said dorm. Silver said that he will go and check on the other diasomnia members and asked Malleus to keep something for him too.

Heartslabyul was a total 180 from diasomnia. All colorful and full of life. Malleus was a bit taken aback by this, but nonetheless he noticed the red roses and the unusual amount of red paint buckets.

They meet up with a tall Greenhead with brownish ram like horns and more smaller wings. He presents to Malleus as Trey Clover, the vice of the dorm. They shake hands and Malleus notes the lack of students.

Trey only tells him that everyone is in the back, where is much more space to stretch. Deuce asks if there is by any chance something they could share with the human, since Diasomnia apparently 'had a food problem'. Trey immediately understood and patted the confused Malleus with such a pity in his eyes.

Trey accepts to give the 3 of them some of the leftover food and even insists for Malleus to drop by whenever the food problem occurs.

Malleus had no goddamn idea what that meant, but it was free food. -3-

On their way towards the kitchen, Malleus notices how everything was chaotic on the inside. He does ask why is it like that. Deuce also backs up the question as Ace rolls his eyes. Trey explains that each dorm holds up to the virtues and remain in the theme with the great seven they represent. And since Heartslabyul represents the queen of hearts's strictness... The dorm looks like a madland, but it's always in order after the 810 rules the queen used to impose.

Ace notes how their dormleader is extremely bossy about them, which gets Trey to exhale. Deuce adds how he never seems to know when their Dormhead is around, so he always gets scared when he hears his voice. Malleus voiced his idea that perhaps they couldn't hear him because everyone seems to have their tails and wings making sounds and shuffling around or dragging on the ground. Trey stops him and clears out to Malleus that it was an entirely different reason.

Reaching the kitchen, Trey opens up the fridge and hands to the 3 some of the leftovers, telling them to be careful if they want some more, since he also had in there the food for tomorrow's unbirthday party. When the party was brought up, Ace shamelessly asks if Malleus would like to help them out on the roses painting. Trey groans and tells Ace that Malleus is a guest, not a worker.

Malleus accepts, since he's still the handyman of the school.

Trey tells them to finish quickly, as he has to go a bit somewhere. The 3 don't mind him and simply concentrate on the food. Malleus with his characteristic royal manners and Adeuce with... Less of those...

In the end, Ace suggests they should get a desert to finish it off. Deuce says that he's full and Malleus also approved with the blue dragon. Ace only puffs and goes to the fridge to see what exactly he can snatch.

He sees the strawberry tarts and decides to just take a small slice. Malleus tells Ace that it sounds like a bad idea. Ace gives 0 shits about it. Another voice asks if Ace enjoyed the tart, to which the ginger even invites the terrified Deuce to take a bite too. In the end, the ginger notes how Malleus was silent and Deuce seemed shaken up, both pointing towards his back.

Turning around... Ace is meet with a very unamused Riddle, arms crossed and a typical frown.

Malleus notes how the redhead was looking like a normal human. No scales, no wierd eyes, no horns, no wings, no tail, no nada... Malleus confused Riddle for a human mage, especially when the redhead used his magic to collar Ace down.

Thankfully, Trey returns before Riddle could question Deuce or Malleus. The vice dormleader explains the situation at hand and Riddle tells his side of the story. Deuce and Malleus just look in between them before at Ace who got kicked out of the dorm until he fixes his mistake, with that chunky collar on too.

Trey only explains to Malleus and Deuce that in here... If you break the rules, Riddle will use his unique magic on you. Malleus asks what is the thing with unique magics. Deuce explains that a unique magic is a spell that only the said magic being can conjure. Trey gives as an example the trashing Ace, telling that only Riddle can summon that magic stopping collar on someone and that Ace will not be able to do any magic unless the collar gets taken down.

So what to do? Trey tells them that he will try to talk to Riddle, while Deuce joins Ace and Malleus on a sleepover bc homie solidarity.

They all 3 crash at Ramshackle and meet the ghosts. The said rowdy spirits recognise the ghost blade and pay their little respects to Malleus for getting to wield such weapon. Malleus asks if they can stay overnight in here and the ghosts do welcome them, not without playing a few pranks on the collared Ace.

The next day, Ace mulls over how he could get a tart. So he heads over to Heartslabyul with Malleus and Deuce, all 3 wanting to ask Trey to help them out.

But they bump into Cater. Now Cater had some very pretty whitish horns with different decorations. His wings and tail were also very decorated. The wings were taller than wider, but Malleus did note how Cater liked to make lots of photos. He was very curious about the 'magicless human with the glass sword', as rumors do run around.

Ace asks where Trey is. Cater makes a deal with them: help him paint the roses and he will get them to Trey. As they had no option, the 3 went on with the painting.

Cater seemed to enjoy looking at the 3 struggling with the paint, so he comes in with the 'let's use a spell'. Cater shows the 3 the color changing spell, making an entire rosebush red. Deuce gets to wonkily learn it. Malleus is curious of this and pulls put the sword, Deuce letting him to copy the said spell and use it too.

Well color Cater surprised when he saw the blade becoming full of color splatters as Malleus used it to clumsily have the roses red. He was really curious of it and asks Malleus how did he get it. Ace butts in and says that more like the sword comes after Malleus.

Cater seems content with the fact that the 3 did the job for him, so he shows them towards Trey.

Trey just groans and looks into the void when he realises that these 3 will be on his head all day. So he sends them to gather some ingredients for the tart they were going to bake.

While they were gone to do their chore, Cater tells Trey about the painting job the 3 did for him. And while the vice was unhappy with Cater ditching his work on the first years, he couldn't help but be curious of the sword Malleus had.

When the 3 returned and Ace seemingly teasing the flustered Deuce, they got to work. The tarts were done and as a treat, they could feast on them as long as they keep one intact as an apology tart.

Cater then brings up Trey's doodle suit. The group get a taste of another unique magic. Malleus is curious of something, but doesn't ask since it was time for the unbirthday party and Ace's apology tart debut.

And boy was it a show...

Riddle had to refuse the tart as the rules said it was forbidden to have a maroon tart at an unbirthday party. Ace Gets mad and Riddle had to kick all 3 out of the dorm.

Trey apologizes to the group, since it was his idea of making a Mont Blanc. Ace is very mad and Deuce just mulls over his collar. Malleus doesn't have any collar as Riddle deemed him magicless, therefore it was a waste of time to collar him too.

As Trey leaves them to be, the group meet Che'nya. Che'nya was a mix in between a Beastman and a dragon, therefore his wings looked quite fluffy and his horns were in sync with his ears.

Che'nya adds fuel to the fire by hyping Ace and Deuce to try and challenge Riddle for the crown. Malleus just knows it's a bad idea, but does he give a shit? Nope.

So they come to talk to crow man about it and it derails into the outcome of a duel in the Heartslabyul garden. Malleus was there to witness what a duel looked like. And because Adeuce insisted they needed the 'cheering support human'.

Riddle had to undo the collars and the second that happened, Ace decided to show his real form. Malleus was a bit took aback by the gigantic orange and red dragon, but since Deuce had the same transformation, Malleus noted how this was the 2's real forms. Malleus was just in awe, especially since he expected Riddle to do the same.

But Riddle didn't do it, instead, the second the start was given, the redhead charged and collared the 2, instantly putting them down with magic, forcing Adeuce back to the humanoid forms.

That's when Riddle got cocky. A bit too cocky for Malleus's liking. Especially when he took his anger towards Malleus's parents. The taller didn't really mind it too much.

But Ace wasn't like that.

Riddle didn't even finished his sentence that Ace immediately charged and punched him square in the face, before reaching to grab him by the collar, only to grab by something else and rip it off.

It was that small pin Riddle always wore.

Ace started his rambling about how Riddle was a hypocrite, but noticed that the redhead seemed horrified, tugging on his cape to cover something up. Being fed up with that, Ace tugs on the cape too.

But it rips apart as a gigantic pair of wings stretch along a big tail. The scales pattern was chaotically varying in between shades of red, gold and a bit of white and black. Riddle seemed to be scared, as he looked more monstrous than the others on the scene.

Cater seemed to recognise those little features. Malleus asks why Riddle was so scared and Cater just takes him a bit further to whisper so that no one else hears.

Aparently Riddle wasn't a pureblood like the others around. He was half human. And since most dragons looked down upon humans, the half human dragons are seen as weak, since they cannot control their magic and often end up killed by their own powers. The half humans are recognised by the lack of horns, the unusual scales pattern, the extremely irregular wings and tail size along the monstrous appearance in the humanoid form are also big pointers. Malleus was in awe at the explanation Cater gave to him.

But Riddle seemed to lose it once everyone revolted about how they were bossed around by someone weaker than them.

And that's when Malleus noticed the dark aura forming around and the gloopy ink like substance forming around Riddle, before throwing off everyone and shallowing the redhead.

Yay... The first overBlot! They are utterly fucked. :3c

Trey pulls a bigass save and keeps Riddle from collaring everyone. But he couldn't keep at bay the fire the other had. Cater also uses his split card to make copies of himself as the og Cater shows his true form, which was as big as Riddle's, getting up to fight him one on one and keep him busy while Adeuce and Malleus cook up a plan to knock him out upon crow man's info dump before he got yeeted across the dorm.

So what to do? Pull out the heavy way and Cauldron smash, sword bonk and magic throw everything at Riddle.

Malleus ends up charging with the sword at Riddle and even if he meant to freeze his wing...

He ends up stabbing Riddle's right wing. Which makes the sword to glow and have Riddle immediately faint and everything to turn back to normal... Well... If we count off the total chaos that was left.

Malleus just looks in horror at what he did, then at the blade's tip that was dripping off some of that inky shit and also blood. The blade turned black and then like a movie clip, it showed to Malleus snippets of Riddle's life in black and white. The only non-shadow figure was Riddle himself, while everyone else was just a shadow.

Malleus could hear and see them in the blade's reflection, but no one else seemed to be able to do it too.

Thankfully, once the 'film' finishes and the sword goes back to normal, Riddle wakes up. The first thing the redhead hears was Malleus's 'You shouldn't hide yourself just because your mother finds a side of you disappointing!'. Immediately that breaks down the redhead, who starts to apologise and curl up to hide himself, despite what Malleus demanded him earlier.

Ace still isn't content with just a 'sorry'. And he does voice his opinion that if Riddle wants to ever redeem himself in front of Ace, he will have to work for it. Ace and Deuce were after all... Humiliated in front of the whole dorm.

Malleus is the one who interjects and states that he will be the judge because and I quote: 'Trappola right here might embody, what we humans call 'a bitch' and therefore have a clouded judgement'.

Malleus's decision? Riddle will have to bake alone an apology tart for both Ace and Deuce and also present himself at the re-run of the unbirthday party without the concealing pin. Riddle just accepts his punishment.

The next day, Malleus returns to Heartslabyul, this time along Silver, at the re-run of the unbirthday party. Ace was living the High life uncollared and ready to eat that tart that was oh so promised to him.

Riddle surely came with the 2 promised tarts. He was a bit awkward as one of his wings was bandaged and they along his big tail were dragging on the ground like a long cape. The tarts looked a bit messy, but for a first attempt, it was alright. Deuce had to slap Ace's mouth shut from commenting since Trey helped him bake the Mont blanc, while Riddle did it all alone.

2 tarts and 6 hungry boys. Trey cut the first tart in 6 pieces and everyone took a bite.

It was salty af...

Riddle of course panicked since he followed the recipe to a t and even included Trey's oyster sauce secret ingredient. Now the fact that he poured the entire bottle was a neglected detail.

Trey was just wheezing on the ground as Cater and Silver still enjoyed their tart slices nonetheless. Silver reveals that he does enjoy salty things, much like Cater over here. The difference was that the ginger dragon couldn't stand sweets, while silver was alright with them.

In the end, the unbirthday party wasn't perfectly according to the rules, but it was full of cheers.

After that, Malleus offered to stay and help with the clean-up. That's when Riddle asks why Malleus didn't ask for anything out of him, since he did badmouth him too, not just Adeuce.

Malleus tells him that he wasn't invited by Riddle here at first and he had all the rights to kick him out. As for the badmouthing, he didn't take offense in it, so for Malleus, Riddle didn't do anything wrong to him personally.

As a somewhat apology token for Malleus dealing with his overBlot, Riddle indulges for the prince to copy any of his spells, as he heard from Cater about the sword Malleus carried and what was its purpose. Malleus surely had no idea what spells he should copy, so he just tells Riddle to give him whatever he thinks it's suitable.

Riddle gives Malleus a fire spell and also his unique magic to copy. Malleus was in awe that he was actually able to copy a unique magic.

That was most likely why the sword was a formidable weapon. It could copy unique magic too.

Che'nya also visits. Trey finally busts this lil intruder to be from RSA, the rival school of NRC. Malleus takes note of that too, as he remembered Che'nya was in Riddle's past too.

So Malleus's spells so far were a few. Only 5, one which was just a color changing spell and another being Riddle's unique magic.

After that, things seem to settle down for some time.

But nope... Silver's hoeing around and got the tea about the magishift upcoming tournament.

Malleus compares it to American football and that gets Adeuce curious since 'there are more types of human football???'. Malleus and Silver decide to do a demonstration since Malleus's grandma was a gigantic football/soccer enthusiast. Sure they had no idea how to play American football, but at least they knew the basic one.

So back to the Ramshackle yard!

Setting up some gates out of ice and Silver summoning a football ball, Malleus makes a short introduction of the game before setting up the teams. Malleus and Deuce versus Ace and Silver.

It takes a while for the 2 dragons to get the idea that 'no, you only hit it with the foot, just the gatekeeper can use hands'. But in the end Silver was an unbeatable gatekeeper while Malleus's kick was a very strong one. It was more in between the humans rather than Adeuce.

In the end, the 4 of them get distracted by their football match that they forget that it got late. Cater comes after them, only to get roped into the game too. Unfortunately for him, they realised it was late and Cater had no chance of getting in a match too.

The next day, Cater bothers the 4 boys to show him what's up with this 'football' game. This picks up the attention of Riddle, who asks why suddenly cater shifted his interest from the magishift tryouts to football. Silver and Malleus are forever thankful that at least one person in here besides them knows human slang and things.

Ace again gets cocky and drags Deuce after Cater to try out. Malleus just comes to watch along Silver bc: 'yo, wanna try out?' 'and get my spine broken? No<3'.

They aren't that dumb to go against a bunch of dragons after all, knowing they will most likely be squished the second the start is given.

Adeuce and Cater fail anyway. But no biggie... They discovered football and boy do they love to run after the ball in the Ramshackle yard. Even the ghosts joined as audience or arbitrage.

But as they got absorbed in running after the ball, they failed to notice the wierd string of accidents that occurred.

Crowley comes into play and assigns Malleus to look into it since he was, after all, the 'handyman'. If he does, he can get to play in the magishift tournament as an exhibition match.

Malleus didn't give a flying fuck about it, but anyway. :'3

Entering Detective Malleus! The detective who read way too many mistery novels, yet never figured out why his ice-cream box always gets empty overnight.

So Malleus starts his investigation!

With the interrogation of a few students in the infirmary, them a few random ones, Malleus gathered a lot of testimonies and could draw a line that all of the actual victims were magishift players and that they lost control of their bodies for a hot second, enough to get in an accident.

Meanwhile, Silver hoes around and actually figures everything out.

Malleus was heading to Heartslabyul in the morning to ask for some advice because:

1. There are a lot of accidents and this dorm does have its ways around it.

2. It was the only dorm he knew of.

3. 70% chance of getting free food.

But on his way, disaster strikes again and Malleus finds out that 'oh shit, clover is down'. Not horrendous, but actually down as in a victim of the accidents.

Malleus explains to Adeuce and Cater his investigation results. Riddle again was literally in the room when they were talking, yet no one noticed him until they got spooked.

To motivate Adeuce into contributing to the investigation, since they surely ditched their initial goal of playing in the magishift tournament, Riddle promised that he will get them one way or another a ✨football ball✨ just for them to play with. Deuce does ask what is wrong with the ball silver keeps summoning. Malleus clears it that by using magic, silver will cumulate blot(crow man did explain how blot works after the first overBlot) and on the other hand, the summoned ball was way more lighter than a normal football ball.

In the distance, Silver releases a dad sneeze.

So the investigation team commences! With Cater's list and with a long day ahead, the group are off to investigate!

On their way around, Cater does explain to Malleus why everyone was in humanoid form around here. If they wanted to write, go around the halls, read or attend lessons, they couldn't fit around in their real forms. He also explains that there are more types of dragons than Malleus usually knew. There were the purebloods and most common, Beast dragons, which are wingless, mer dragons, rare, but not as rare as a living human halfling(Riddle pouts at that.) and dragon Fae, which are considered to be one of the most powerful. Rare too, but surely very proficient with magic. Malleus takes note of that.

They reach poemfiore tho. And boy oh boy... Those students in here are way too pretty for their own good. The one they were looking for was Rook Hunt.

And it seemed more like Rook found them rather than them finding him.

Yep... Mark him off the list please...

The next were the Leech twins. Riddle voiced his opinion on how they should literally skip them, but Malleus insisted that 'they need to interrogate everyone on the list'.

Welp... The twins were tall af. Add to that the mirrored looks and the sinister aura they had going on. Poor Adeuce. They are trembling in their boots when those 2 busted them.

Malleus looks at the twins, then at Riddle, then back at the twins. All 3 looked completely human, which made Malleus to internally have a bluescreen moment when Jade cleared out that no, they weren't human the slightest.

More or so... It ended up with the investigation team running for their lives. Riddle was the fastest and unfortunately Ace was the slowest.

With Riddle having to return back to Heartslabyul for Dormhead duties, the group only had to check on one more person: Jack Howl.

Yep... In the end, they got nothing.

But Silver comes and apparently, he forgot to tell Malleus that 'lol the savanaclaw are behind all this, anyway look what mug I found for Father's day, It's a bikini bat mug.'. Malleus just thanks his friend for the lead.

So the next day, they try to pursue him. Cue chase and crashing again into Jack. This time Jack actually decided to help them out. :'3

Cue busting Leona up and yet another overBlot. Malleus really starts to wonder if this is a normal occurrence around here.

But anyway~ stabby time~ this time in the PinKy toe, bc why not? The extra level of pain!

Malleus again sees the past like a black and white film through the blade and just tries to cheer up Leona. It doesn't really work that well, but is Malleus a certified therapist? Nope, but surely he thinks he will be in the near future. He just feels it.

Silver just enjoys the match along Malleus. Savanaclaw hot beaten out by the others and Diasomnia won. To celebrate Lilia decided to bake a cake, but Trey cut off and offered to bake himself a cake. The Dia peeps never were more grateful for the benevolent cake man.

A few days later, Riddle somehow managed to get a football ball he enchanted to not break so easily. He just threw it at Ace's face and boy were Adeuce the happiest. They played with it non-stop until they broke a window and Trey had to confiscate it. Malleus is salty because he didn't get his turn to play before Trey took it. :'3

But ya know how sometimes too much does bad?

So did Silver's hoeing around.

It was the exams period and Malleus was intensively hitting the books. Of course with all of that intense studies and leaving the fun aside for a bit, Malleus managed to get a high score, impressive for a magicless human. He even made it in the top 50! Lilia even congratulated him.

But also silver got a high score too. And so did Adeuce... Along with most students... Which was a bit suspicious.

It was when Adeuce and Silver got anemoned that Malleus realised that 'oh damn, something is going on'. So along his 'non-friend', Jack, Malleus is headed towards the root of the problem.

They end up in the lounge and Malleus is all like 'mafia vibes... cool.'. They realise that all the anemones basically cheated by making a deal with Azul.

In the end, Malleus and Jack request to meet with Azul to discuss the anemone problem. And the Octavinelle dormleader made the grave mistake of asking: 'What can you offer me, human'.

'Hand in marriage, sir...' 'Wut???'

Yep... Floyd is wheezing on the floor. Jade asks if this is why Malleus had that veil over his ponytail. Malleus replied that it's another motive for the veil. But anyway... Azul asks if perhaps... Malleus would give the sword as a collateral, since it seemed like it was the only object of value, for the dragons, Malleus had with him.

Malleus contemplated. Give to Azul the sword and not have to worry that if he forgets it somewhere it won't literally almost cut his head by plunging towards him? But on the other hand, it was the only magic thing Malleus could use.

So Malleus contemplates. Jack told him 'it's a bad idea'. Trey, Cater and Riddle told him 'no, it's dumb, don't do it.'. Lilia told him 'let me fix this... Don't do anything dumb, please.'.

But Leona said that 'it's a dumb idea, don't do it.'. So Malleus will do it just to piss him off. >:/

So he comes back at Azul with: 'Imma get that photo from the museum in 3 days, otherwise I'll be your bride!'.

Azul literally had 0 control over that contract, so he just prepares himself mentally for the marriage as the twins enjoy seeing him suffer.

Only Silver and Lilia knew Malleus was actually a prince and the valuable treasures that will come in his possession after he gets married and inherits the throne. So Azul had no goddamn idea what Malleus actually offered to him.

As a neutral collateral, Malleus plunged his sword into Azul's office, offering that as a neutral prize.

So Silver, Jack and Adeuce go along Malleus, using the water breathing potion the dormleader oh so generously provided, in order to get that photo.

Except they meet the twins in their mer forms.

Floyd explains that this is still not their real form, just a form to blend in with the other merpeople. Then he proceeds to squeeze the living daylights out of Adeuce.

Except that when Jade reached for Malleus and Jack, the ghost blade came woshing through, cutting Jade's arm fin and plunging into a coral. Malleus was never so happy the sword came to save his ass.

Apparently Azul couldn't keep that much the sword in his office. :'3

Where was silver during all this? Using his charm and carisma to basically waltz in the museum and get that photo like free candy.

So the next day, Malleus busts in Octavinelle at 3 am with the photo like: 'Ashengrotto, wake up! The marriage is down!'.

Except that it was the wrong photo... None of them knew how prince Rielle actually looked so Silver snatched the wrong photo without even looking at the description.

Azul was just groaning. It was 3 am and this human barged in, only for him to bring the wrong photo. And here he thought that he would have hopes of not getting married so early. Wasn't it enough that Jade's arm was bandaged now and that the sword literally flew out of the office?

So Azul has no other option than to tell Malleus that 'you got the wrong photo... Try again.'. He was going to be fair, after all.

But not before committing to the fact that yes, he will have to marry this human. So Azul decides to keep in a bit Malleus and try to get comfortable around the human.

But because after all, it cut Jade, therefore half stabbing, the ghost blade allowed Malleus to see a glimpse of his past.

And to his luck it was exactly when the twins met Azul.

'so you had a hard school life?' 'mhm' 'At least we have something in common...'

It didn't occur to Azul what actually Malleus meant, but oh well... The human was warm. The human is actually a great pillow.

Meanwhile, Malleus was messaging Silver with 'bro, you got the wrong photo'. The reply was a 'bro how tf am I expected to know how that mf looks like?'. And after that a lot of memes.

Jack was the one to pick Malleus up, since Azul fell again asleep and the poor human was literally covered by the other's wings and texting to Silver. (Azul's the only one out of the octatrio that has wings and he hates it with a burning passion).

It seems like the twins enjoyed running the lounge while Azul overslept because of a certain human with shitty sleep schedule.

In the end Silver pulls a big brain moment and gets Leona on board to destroy the contracts like in cannon.

Welp... Azul overblotted... He gets smacked back to his senses and yet again Malleus goes stabby stab, this time in an octopus tentacle, because he's like that. :'3

Cue another angsty film noir montage. ;-;

Well... In the end Azul tells Malleus that since all the contracts are destroyed, the deal isn't valid anymore. Silver finally points out that Azul missed on the biggest treasure pile addition any dragon could have and Azul just loses it.

He literally had the royal treasures of the Thorn Valley under his pinky and didn't realise it. Because Malleus is a forgetfull human. :'D

Anyway... Malleus lives yet another day with no ring on the finger.

Floyd found it fun the said sword and so, he indulges for Malleus to copy his unique magic. Azul adds onto it with his 'it's a deal'. Jade gives nothing bc Malleus had to apologise to him for cutting his arm fin.

After that, they have to return the photo to the Atlantica museum. Azul refuses to show his mer form, but they saw chubby baby Azul.

Malleus like 'I already saw him' was peak shock for everyone else.

But anyway the winter holiday comes around...

Lilia tells Malleus and Silver that he will go back to the thorn Valley to talk with the queen. The 2 couldn't go since they had to 'keep Sebek sum company'.

Sebek was a dragon that had a concealing jewelry too. He always reffered to Malleus and Silver as 'Stabby human and magic human'.

Sebek seemed to not like their company, so they leaved him in his own thing.

As a handyman, Malleus had the task of giving wood to the fire fairies in the cafeteria, so Silver was helping him out with that.

They meet the Scarabia peeps yet again! Malleus notes how Kalim and Jamil had 3 Pairs of wings, to which Kalim happily shows them their use.

So they visit scarabia and realise that 'oh shit, you gotta fly to the dorm'. Apparently Scarabia was a floating dorm and you had to fly from the mirror drop point to the dorm. Kalim and Jamil were dragons that were proficient at flying, their families being ones of nomad dragons, hence the additional pairs of wings.

So they stay over at scarabia... And it takes them a whole 24 hour day to realise that 'oh we're held hostages... Anyway'...

Malleus realises that when he uses 'it's a deal', his blade becomes a bunch of tentacles that can grip on things.

So the solution? Tarzan swing around and hope they won't miss the mirror.

Just the middle of the night... The Scarabia wakes up to see the 2 hoomans swinging and screaming their lungs out as they slam in the Scarabia mirror and fly all the way through the Octavinelle one.

How did none of them break a bone is a mistery up to this day... U-U

Just Azul being absolutely done with Malleus breaking in the lounge.

In the end, the octatrio help silver and Malleus to go back there and figure this shit out.

Malleus has the most crappy intros ever. He's all like 'this is my almost spouse and my almost spiritual brothers in law.'. Jamil is just done with this clownery.

Of course since they couldn't fly, the humans and the twins had to stay on the bench. Azul faked a 'wing injury' and got to join the 'we can't fly' group. So bc they had to join in the training camp, Azul takes over with the management and things go well for once.

Except that they bust up Jamil in the end, he Overblots and the group get dokkaned. But because there's literally 0 ground for a good chunk of height, the group just falls down expecting a harsh impact with the ground.

Azul just grabs onto Malleus and Silver and pathetically flaps his wings, trying to avoid getting a pancake. The twins are literally glued to poor Kalim who forgot he had wings.

They get saved by Sebek in his big dragon form! :D

And Sebek had a lot of mixed scales patterns in green and black, a more crocodile like tail and of course, when back in the humanoid form, he looked more beastlike than the others.

It turns out Sebek was a human halfling too. Even though he made it clear that he hated humans.

Anyway... Back to the Scarabia dorm... Malleus this time pulls a smart move. Since his sword literally cannot absorb blot, he uses 'it's a deal' and bind the heart to weaken Jamil enough so he could get stabby stabby... :D

Kalim uses his oasis maker so that he could put out Jamil's mayhem and the twins show their real forms in order to put the Phanthom down.

Another sad montage in the blade and Jamil now has one wing stabbed... :'3

Malleus... Pls... Don't stab people to understand their trauma...

Welp... Jamil had to sulk and suck it up, but in the end, Kalim decided to make an effort and try to be a bit more careful and show more care towards Jamil.

When Lilia returns, he is happy to see that Sebek, Silver and Malleus actually got along in the end. They were playing uno and Silver pulled a double +4 on Sebek. Malleus already had half a deck in his hand. :'3

Meanwhile, at Octavinelle... The twins commit to their. 'almost spiritual brothers in law' just to annoy the living shit out of Azul.

Pom pom arc comes around and the dia peeps need holy water.

When the VDC was announced, Malleus, silver and Sebek woke up one day with pepaw Lilia exercising his pole dancing skills.

They heard a bone crack and decided that they will get outta there. And aquire holy water and bleach.

Adeuce bring up the VDC and Malleus immediately is all like 'nope<3, I was tainted enough'. But he still supports his 2 friends in auditioning for the VDC. He's just the 'emotional support hooman'.

They even have a tag for him. x3

So when the audition day comes around, Malleus is there, with his tag, along Adeuce. They meet up with Cater and also meet Ortho, who apparently has a pair of robo-wings. Malleus is curious about it, but everyone else stops him from asking.

The auditions commence and Malleus is sitting in a corner with his tag and sword. Sum students came to cry on him, rest or just vent, but Malleus was just texting silver who apparently is popping off somewhere with some NRC peeps.

So the results come and Adeuce pass! Yay :3

But Malleus is also additionally called. So that picked his interest.

It turns out Malleus was called because Crowley chose Ramshackle to host the VDC boys  while on training camp, since Malleus and Adeuce often stood around there and in the end it became somewhat clean.

Malleus is again, the handyman, which means he had to keep Ramshackle clean...

Rook is all like 'Curious human!' and Malleus be weirded out. Poor human... Gib him sum slack.

Epel was a much more smaller dragon... But unlike Riddle's extremely big wings and tail, Epel had them proportional with his height. Which made him look cute.

Unlike his real attitude...

Much like in cannon, the training camp is utter hell. Malleus hid some goodies he got from Trey before Vil could curse those and so, he would do his utter best to have them not be found.

But in the end, dragons have a much more sensitive smell and so, it was just a matter of time until Vil asked to inspect his room and find the said goodies.

So in his new goal of getting some goodies to eat... Malleus crashes yet again at Heartslabyul. This time Trey was busy helping out Riddle with the management papers. The redhead had to give some papers to the Ignihyde dormleader. Malleus offers to send them if Trey gives some goodies.

Yes... At this point Vil's diet made Malleus desperate.

Trey promised to Malleus a bit of the leftovers, so the human was more than content with that. Off he was to Ignihyde!

Malleus surely was took aback by the whole load of SF like tech. He runs again into Ortho and asks for directions towards the Ignihyde Dormhead. Ortho offers to take the papers himself to his brother, but Malleus insists that he has to do his job and personally give them to the Dormhead.

He didn't yet make the connection that Ortho's big brother was actually the Ignihyde dormleader. Just give him time... :'3

Idia was just minding his own business when Ortho and the very pretty magicless human come at him with some papers from Riddle, making the Dormhead to actually get a spook.

The most noticeable things about Idia were the black and silver decorated horns that were rounded like some kind of lose swirls, ash black wings tattered at the end, a slim black tail with a small flame at the tip and his bright blue flame hair.

Cue the most awkward conversation ever.

To their luck, Azul also drops by. Ortho is a lil gremlin and leaves the 3 alone to 'Bond and help big brother actually make a proper real life conversation with another being capable of higher thought'.

It ends up with Malleus overstaying along Azul because Idia had the balls to ask about the humans video-games. Idia loves to see what the humans come up with in the anime and video-game industry. Malleus unfortunately doesn't have video-games at home, but he knows Silver had Just Dance, as his father had a much wider collection.

So the 3 bond! Yay! :D

Again, for this chapter, things go almost the same as in cannon. Except that Malleus gets to meet Neige and the drawves. The drawves are a bit skeptical of the hooman with the sword, but Malleus is just very curious. He doesn't mean harm... The fact that he stabbed sum dragons around and is capable of fighting down an Overblot dragon are very neglectable details... U-U

Since Malleus received 2 tickets, one he thought about giving it to Silver. It turns out Lilia bought 2 tickets for him and Silver, so Malleus had 0 idea of who to give it to.

In the end, he gives it to Sebek. The dragon halfling was a bit skeptical, asking if there was any catch to it, since humans tend to be sneaky. Malleus just tells him that he wants to spend a bit of time with Sebek and perhaps get to become friends, since it seemed like Silver got along with him at one point.

Sebek's respect for the magicless human rose a bit.

On the big day, actually Malleus explores around for a bit before attending the rehearsals and also the overBlot.

Vil was and forever will be a fabulous dragon and a dramatic af overBlot. U-Ub

But in the end, RSA won with the nursery rhyme remix. Malleus just puts on his 'emotional support hooman' sign and leaves Adeuce and Kalim to just whine on his shoulders while Jamil and Epel throw hands at Rook.

At this point Malleus discovered his real call: being an emotional support hooman.

After the VDC show, Malleus offers to look around the stalls with Sebek and get to properly know each other, despite Malleus actually being beat from the overBlot.

Again, Sebek's respect for the human prince went up.

As a reward for his beautiful work, Rook gave to Malleus his um. But Malleus had 0 idea what that magic was supposed to do, so he is left with a small note with the spell's name and confusion to the max.

Chapter 6 tho -3-

Malleus tries to understand what exactly does Rook's um do. Ortho is curious too about it and tries to help.

It ends up with Malleus inflicting the spell onto ortho, but it was literally just a momentary sparkle. Thinking it was just for show, Malleus leaves it at that. Ace does say how it's a lame um, getting a smack from Deuce.

Well... It sure is useful when STIX break in. Since it was revealed that Idia and Ortho are actually tightly connected with the charons that kidnapped the previous overBlot victims, Rook nudged Malleus to use his um.

Now the blade could be a map and show exactly where Ortho was: the STIX HQ. Rook also used 'I see you' on a Charon, which pointed to a similar place.

So off they were. Rook and Epel had no problem with flying. Just change into their true forms and off they were. Rook also carried Malleus, since humans can't fly unfortunately.

Meanwhile, at diasomnia, Sebek and silver panic since 'oh shit, we lost the human/Malleus'.

Meanwhile Malleus slays some Poemfiore uniforms and breaks in STIX with the power of his sword skills and disastrous flirting.

Yep... Idia is just living a nightmare at the moment.

The captured boys aren't that 'relieved' to see the rescue trio as Malleus expected. Vil was looking on the verge of strangling them. Jamil was just rolling his eyes and pouting in his corner. Azul actually looked happy to see Malleus came for him too and not just for Vil like Rook and Epel. Leona didn't give a flying fuck about it. Riddle actually was the uncomfortable one, since they didn't let him have his concealing pin.

The whole ortho frees the tartarus ghosts happen and boy oh boy does it get chaotic.

Now Malleus wished he could've copied Deuce's um. Alas, Epel got his own um and the tartarus blot thingies were also not that much of a hassle to violently poke them with the sword.

The overBlot tho... THAT was something entirely different.

Where to stab Idia if his overBlot form was decked in armour? Why of course we stab the bigass Phanthom. :'3

Cue again the sad film montage in the blade. Except it was ortho's memories, so they show how poor ortho had his wings cut off by the Phanthoms. Idia swore that he will never fly again because of that. Ortho had a pair of artificial wings, but still Idia didn't forgive himself, so he damaged his own wings, so he couldn't be able to fly again, only his little brother as ortho deserved it more than him.

Actually that made Malleus to tear up a bit... ;-;

But also imagine that Malleus also had with him the 'emotional support hooman' tag. So he just flings it over his neck and offers a hug for everyone.

And you know what? Idia accepts the hug. After all that he's been through, a hug was just a godsend for him.

When they get back, Adeuce, Sebek and Silver immediately tackle Malleus like 'We leave you unsupervised for one minute and you end up out of the country'.

Idia now got attached to the 'emotional support hooman'. Azul's all like 'bish share... I was first'. Adeuce request their 'first come first get' privileges. Sebek shooes them off because 'YOU'RE SQUISHING THE HUMAN!'.

Silver is the actual boss since he was and forever will be Malleus's first friend.

With this, we finish the story. Chap 7 doesn't happen and Malleus finally showed his mastery of the sword so he will go back home for the summer holiday. Officially, Malleus was an NRC student and finally he found a place where he is fulfilled and made friends and possibly lovers.

Malleus was just happy!

Now since the main story was taken care of, time for the events!

In another post :'3 since this one has over 10100 words. A long journey and already I holded you here enough.

So maybe in a later post it will come! :D

Until next time! Buh bye!

Fate rant part 1 - Winx was already dark enough

Theme-wise. There’s no excuse for whitewashing Flora and Musa.

No, really, it’s not that hard to make the story of Winx more mature, you just have to look at it differently:

Season 1 - Though it is generally pretty tame, the plot involves a girl from Earth discovering she carries in her the power of this universe’s version of God, having that power ripped out of her violently and against her will and having to go on a soul-searching journey to recover it, while the villain is wreaking havoc using it.

She also finds out that she’s adopted and that her birthfamily was killed by a coven of Witches in search of that power, and that she’s the only known survivor of a planet-wide genocide. And she’s a princess of said dead world, whci has been made uninhabitable by the attack. Oh, yeah, and the descendants of those witches are also trying to hunt her down for that same power - and succeed.

FFS, in like the 5th episode, Stella is almost murdered on screen by the Trix, because they wanted her ring.

Darcy mind-controls Riven to date her and spy on the Winx. If they had sex (which 17-18 couple probably would), that’s straight-up rape, right there.

Sky had to switch identities with his bodyguard/squire in for his own safety as a crown prince. He’s in an arranged political engagement with another girl while he pursues Bloom. You could easily dive into political consequences of breaking this engagement that has lasted since they were both children for a “peasant” girl if you wanted to show a more mature side of that. (But like, maybe demonizing Diaspro for being upset about it isn’t a good idea).

The scenes in Magix city after the attack of the Trix are fucking haunting me to this day.

Oh, yeah, and Bloom’s spiritual guide in the season is literally the ghost of her sister, who died at a very young age so that Bloom could live. (I’m sure there’s more dark stuff in season 1, but that’s just what I remembered, so feel free to add).

Season 2 - Oh, boy, season 2.

Our primary antagonist is quite literally the devil, and he was quite directly responsible for the destruction of Domino

We start out the season with the Pixie being captured by him and then tortured and killed one by one as he’s searching for an item they are guarding. Layla/Aisha is almost murdered when she’s trying to save them, managing to barely escape with her life and her bonded pixie.

During the rescue mission, Stella almost dies from lack of sunlight and her boyfriend is held hostage and almost forced to marry someone else, under the threat that if he refuses, she will be locked up underground until it kills her. He is later saved from this at the last minute through the use of a love pspell that makes his would-be wife fall in love with another man(I’m not gonna get into love potions/spells being basically date rape drugs).

A man is replaced by a doppleganger, gets the underage-or-just-fresh-adult Bloom to trust him and then kidnaps her, so his master can subject her to what is a not-even-really-veiled rape allegory and subsequent mind control.

And, once again, Bloom is still the only known survivor of a genocide and her personal story during the show focuses on her finding out more about her home and family.

There’s other things, too, like Sky being murdered and resurected by Bloom, that one episode that deals with Musa’s dead mother and how her dad became abusive out of grief.

Season 3 - it’s not any better.

The Trix are sentenced to a icy hellhole prison, that they manage to break out of with the help of another person tied to Bloom’s past - this time, a man who is effectively her dark reflection. He’s driven by revenge against his captors and quest for power that he believes is rightfully his (I’ve seen some fics suggesting that he in fact had/had learned those powers before, but they were stripped from him once he was captured and playing with this idea would be a sure-fire way to get into some dark moral corners).

This time, we have two people who were mind controlled into a relationship - Stella’s dad and Sky. Rapey much?

Like, season 3 in general is really good and really dark without even really hiding it. Everyone gets a near-death experience and Bloom and Valtor’s relationship as reflections of one another/two sides of the same coin could be something incredible to explore (and a lot of fics do).

Also Faragonda and the rest of the Company of Light are really fucking shady in all of this.

And there is Layla/Aisha’s arranged marriage to Nabu.

Movies 1 and 2 - again, not even really hiding their darkness. Mind control is ever-present, as is mass-murders and destruction, dead family members and court intrigue.

Season 4 - surprise, more genocide.

This time of the Earth fairies. - I mean, they don’t end up being dead, but... they seemed to be and a lot of them probably were.

And also the subsequent revenge against the Wizards of the Black Curcle and humanity as a whole. Give us the full story of the war between the Wizards and Fairies and you’re already really fucking dark and complicated.

Also, Nabu literally dies on-screen - some dubs say he falls into a coma, but IIRC, he dies in the original. Flat out perma-dead. Right after he and Layla/Aisha got engaged. Causing her to seek revenge.

Season 5 - good news, no genocide... except when Tritanus tries to murder everyone on the surface of Andros at the end. So... attempted genocide only. Improvement!

And there’s torture, turning people into monsters against their will, repeated attempted fratricide, a curse that tore a young woman’s spirit out of her body, forcing her to exist as a disembodied spirit for what is most likely at least 20 years.

Best way to describe my feelings after finishing Twilight:

I’m starting to think that what’s actually the problem of the Grishaverse, especially the TGT, is that there is a disconnect between the universe, the story and the marketing.

The Grishaverse is a grimdark fantasy world, filled with discrimination, inequality, slavery, war and violence, with political power held by absolutist monarchs and unscrupulous capitalists, where law serves to those with power and fucks over everyone else and where often, the only way to achieve justice is by taking it into your hands.

The story is marketed as a Young Adult fantasy adventure.

And the author wants to tell a fairytale romance story.

And it just doesn’t work.

There are three common ways to incorporate grimdark elements into media - glorification (aka “we’re totally not pandering to incels and psychopaths, pinky promise”), shock value and commentary, with most stories blending all three to some extent.

And the Grishaverse firmly falls into the “shock value” category, whether we’re talking about Zoya’s backstory or the horrors of the Ice Court.

But despite being a grimdark universe, the author still tries to force fairytale morality onto it, causing her protagonists to look like short-sighted, naive idiots and forcing her to bend the rules of the universe to the breaking point to make them win.

Let me introduce you to two characters:

The first is an immortal man. He’s ancient from human perspective, but he’s considered to be young and idealistic by other immortals. His life’s mission is to protect a wolrdwide opressed minority, that he belongs to. This ahs been his mission since he was 13 and he’s at least 500 now. He’s their guardian, their patron saint in many ways. He was almost killed for his power by his first friend and vowed to build a world where nobody ever needs to be desperate enough to do that. He’s a character driven by empathy, a strong sense of justice and a wish for world peace, the end of wars and discrimination, and he’ll stop at nothing to achieve that.

The second is an immortal woman. She’s still young, even by human standarts, but she has the potential to live forever. She’s an orphan, who fell in love with her foster brother. She’s a member of an opressed minority, but she’s revered for her powers instead of despised, through no action of her own. She doesn’t care for the opression of the rest of her kind, as it doesn’t affect her. She’s willing to do anything, even kill innocent people, to protect her brother/love interest. She’s immature, self-centered and short-sighted. She has a love-hate relationship with her powers, her desires, her social status and even her life itself. She likes having power and doesn’t think twice about using it for personal gain and satisfaction, but she despises having responsibility and the expectations her position gives her. She’s driven by her paranoia, her codependant and toxic relationship with her brother/love interest and by her internalized prejudice.

Tell me, which of these two characters sounds like the hero of the story and which like the villain?

My #1 post of 2022

Character motivations - Why so many people side with the Darkling

Character motivations are a big part of them - why they are liked, how their actions come across, so on and so forth. How motivation is written can make or break a character - and TGT fails at this spectacularly.

The motivations of the “good guys” are unclear at best and plot-dependant at worst, while the “bad guys” - the three that we’re introduced to - have extremely understandable and valid ones.

Motivations of the Darkling and his supporters:

Darkling: Wants to stop wars and persecution of the Grisha everywhere in the world.

Ivan: Wants to stop the endless wars that killed his entire family.

Genya: Wants to take revenge against her rapist and probably the people and system that enabled and furthered that abuse, for herself and all the man’s other victims.

Everyone else: Presumably either want end of the wars or Grisha persecution as well.

Motivations of Alina and her side:

Alina: Wants to live a quiet and peaceful life with Mal, sometimes, maybe. Or rule over Ravka as a Living Saint. Maybe. Possibly. Or die. It varies.

Mal: Want to bang Alina and have her undivided attention - preferably while she gets none herself, I guess. And maybe kill the Darkling because... he liked Alina? Is Grisha? Kills people? Unclear.

Zoya: The Darkling killed her only decent family members, so now she wants revenge (established retroactively).

Nikolai: Wants to rule Ravka, because the current monarch and the actual heir are incompetent assholes and he decided that the "Living Saint” is better ally than the “scary and evil Darkling”.

David: Doesn’t like killing people and feels bad for being part of a mass slaughter that included civilians.

Genya: ? Probably because the Darkling is the Black Heretic and therefore deserves a worse fate than her rapist, I guess.

Everyone else: “Darkling evil”? “Monarchy good”? Are Sun cultists? Who knows, certainly not the reader.

Motivations of miscelaneous other characters:

The royal family: Wants to keep their position of power.

The Apparat: Wants more power, which he plans to gain by controlling the Sun cult in Alina’s name.

Baghra: Wants to “redeem” her son, whatever that means. “Making sure he only cares about her, himself and nobody else” being a strong possibility for the meaning of it.

To be fair, I might be a bit hyperbolic with the lack of motivation on Alina’s side, but their motivations are really the muddiest.

And that’s an issue when they’re the ones who we’re supposed to root for.

Especially when the villain not only have much clearer motives, but they’re actually really fucking good ones.

The system is broken, the world is fucked up and full of prejudice and violence. The “villains” want to fix the system and have a concrete plan how, the “heroes” either want to keep it the same, don’t care about the issues or want to fix them, but their idea of how to do it is “ask the people commiting literal genocide to pretty please stop”.

I don’t know what else to call this but Boomer logic. In a book whose target audience is teenagers.

It’s no wonder so many people like the Darkling and his side better than Alina and hers.

(means dignity in deep tagalog)

Parental figure Cale Henituse, Parental Figure Alberu Crossman, Reincarnated child Reader

prev

masterlist

Every single living being has dignity. It's a thing that everyone is born with. We are the ones who can hold and decide what we want to do with that dignity. Some strengthen it, some get lost in it. There are even some people who lose it in exchange for degeneracy.

But what about those who are stripped off of it? What does dignity mean to them?

That’s a question you ask yourself often nowadays. A question that you surely wouldn’t be able to ponder on when you were still back with the White Star. The question didn’t stem out of nowhere. You started  questioning everything a few days after you reunited with your hyung and got officially adopted  by the crown prince, oh you should really start calling him appa now.

A few days after everything settled, the lessons and training that every royal has to go through started. Yours is a bit more special since you have a dragon teacher. At first it confused you. Why is Goldie Gramps, the only name you know because that’s how Raon introduced him, one of your teachers when you’re supposed to be learning etiquette?

It was that day you learned what you really reincarnated as. Everything started to make more sense. Reason why White Star was so meticulous when it came to you, why they kept insisting that you’re the only one they can use for the mana and black mana fusion thing they wanted, why they kept whispering and researching about how to not make you ‘grow’. Things you didn’t understand back then you can now comprehend. 

Of course that didn’t stop your poor brain from overheating from the information that they loaded in you. Luckily Cale-hyung knew it would happen and went with Eruhaben, who he formally introduced to you since he doubts Raon would. 

Now that brings us to the predicament you’re in.

Existential crisis started seeping in from every bit of your being. 

You’re a dragon. A great and mighty dragon as Raon-hyung, how he insisted you call him, taught you. You’re supposed to be someone who has a lot of pride and dignity, someone who’s  supposed to be proud of yourself.

Someone who's suppose to be majestic just by merely existing.

However you aren’t anything like that. Maybe you being human in your previous life was to blame. Maybe the trauma you accumulated back in that ruined world was the reason. Maybe you can even shift blame to White Star and his actions.

None of that matters though. Because no matter how hard you think about it, it still results in you crying in your soft pillows in the middle of the night. Weeping silently inside your lavish room that you previously thought was a mere guestroom. 

You opted crying when no one could hear you. Wanting to show everyone that you’re moving forward made you do so. Mentality that you can’t show any weakness slowly eating you alive as you suffer every night.

Inside you know that it’s safe now. You may not be with your beloved hyung but your new appa isn’t so bad either. He guides  you in every step of the way. Provides you everything you want and need. He even told you the secret of his lineage and let you meet his dark elf relatives, something that resulted in you being greatly confused because these beautiful creatures seem to praise your every breath. 

Still even with how prominent Alberu’s care and protection is, you still didn’t allow yourself to be weak. There’s a lot of nobles that are against the crown prince’s decision and that fact didn’t go past you.

Okay maybe you will admit to yourself that all of this is just excuses. All of the reasons that you pile  on top of one another are just you being in denial that you're traumatized. Because you don’t want to be seen as weak, especially after hearing how common people praise the names of your guardians and the others associated with them.

But no matter how hard you try to put on a facade, someone was bound to notice. Someone that knows you probably better than yourself and someone who knows too well what it looks like to hide something. Both of their parental instincts nagged them before their observation skills even caught on.

Hence the reason why both of them are by your side right now, busy schedules be damned. Kingdom, continent, world, even the entire universe doesn’t matter. All Cale and Alberu wanted was for you to lean on them. Know that there’s people that will help, there’s people that will grab you if you just reach your hand out.

Reach your hand out was what you did. On that day no one bothered the three of you as you spilled your heart out, more than you did when you reunited with your hyung. No one judges you as you tell them the things you’ve been thinking, detrimental thoughts and nightmares that ate you alive every night.

“No one will ever hold it against you for acting like a child, because you are one.”

“Healing isn’t something that you can force, it also isn’t something that comes overnight”

Meaningful words of consolation from the two finally reached you. Perhaps you can’t still fully grasp the meaning behind them but don’t worry they’ll be with you at every step of the way until you fully understand their intentions.

After that day they seemed  to be more attentive when it comes to you. Alberu always makes time out of his busy schedule to spend with you, Cale also deliberately causes trouble to keep his sworn brother busy so he can steal you away. It doesn’t help that Raon has a knack of suddenly appearing and teleporting you away so the two of you can roam around the marketplace, of course everything you buy is on the palace's tab. 

Everyone took it upon themselves to simply give you the liberty to act like the child you are. Give you the childhood you missed in both of the lives you’ve lived. Sure you ‘paid for your meals’ but Cale and Alberu never made their people do something they know their people can’t handle.

Surely the love and affection you received from everyone amounted to something. You started showing what you’re really like, the you that Cale and Choi Han know, the latter knowing thanks to a certain descendant's memories. You started being more open and vulnerable with them, you even started being more cheeky.

Poor Alberu can only curse and get agitated at his instructor and sworn brother for not informing him just how playful  you are. To which the two just laughed at him with the red head saying.

“Where’s the fun if you knew?”

One of your quirks seems to be you quickly jumping into absurd conclusions that no one knows where you got from.

Like that one time where you woke up in the middle of the night so you went to your appa’s room to sleep beside him. What you weren’t expecting though, was for your dad to be wide awake and talking to a communication device.

“Appa why are you awake? Oh you’re talking to Rok- uh Cale-hyung, are you courting each other or something? Should I start calling hyung appa too?”

Alberu should’ve been happy that you finally called him appa. He would’ve found how you were draped in a blanket while hugging one of the stuffies he gave you cute if it weren’t for the next words that came out of your mouth. So instead the poor overworked man nearly choked on his tea while the man on the other side of the orb can only sigh in exasperation. 

Most of the time Alberu can’t  help but think that he adopted a mini Cale. How can he not think that way when your personality is so like his dongsaeng. From the way you like novels to you always insisting that slacking off is the best to even your impressive smarts, it’s just so Cale  like. When he brought this up one time to Cale the man just shrugged his shoulders, but Alberu could clearly see the way the corner of the red head’s mouth went up a bit.

Naturally nothing ought to be fun and games. Healing is also never an easy process. Still you’re more at ease now that you know you have people you can trust with you. Yesterday might always leave it’s stain but at least now you aren't alone.

The Choosing

Pairing: Daichi x f!reader (ft. Captain Squad <3 and Sakusa)

WC: 3.2k

Genre/Warnings: Crack/Bad Humor, Smut, Romance, Reverse Harem, Royalty AU!, mention or hints of size kink, exhibitionism, creampie, breeding kink, dick and ball worship, you’re perverted and gross

Summary: You are the Princess of the Kingdom of YoreNaym and you need to choose a husband.

Repost from my main because I say so. Lee... :gru: i miss u

Also, no beta we die like Daichi.

It’s a tradition carried through many, many generations that the daughters of nobility from the Kingdom of YoreNaym must choose a suitor from the eligible bachelors from the neighboring kingdoms. It’s a show of kinship to the other kingdoms and also a means of securing peace.

At some point, everyone’s sister’s cousin’s second uncle’s sworn brother’s adopted daughter’s nephew twice-removed will be related and connect back to the Kingdom of YoreNaym. In short, the blood of this kingdom’s daughters unite the lands. No incest, there’s enough genetic diversity, if you will. And because you are also a princess of this kingdom, it’s your turn. Yay.

While growing up, you hear the elders say that the youngsters should be grateful that they have the agency to at least pick a suitor. They spin their looms and cackle, reminiscing that, “Back in our days, we didn’t get to have a choice. Our elders appointed a spouse for us from whichever kingdom had a suitor. Unlike you girls who get to choose, ungrateful wenches…”

Does it really matter? It’s just the false pretense of choice, isn’t it? At the end of the day the selection of eligible bachelors are all chosen ahead of time, deemed worthy, and then after the initial picking, you are just allowed to pick. It doesn’t matter who you choose, any one of them will fit the criteria. Maybe you’ll just close your eyes and pick one randomly. Can you actually say, “I’ll choose my own hand and marry myself.”

That’s pretty brave, hell yea that’s a main character move right there. Speaking of which, who are the eligible bachelors you can choose from today? It’s practically your engagement day, yet you really haven’t been paying any attention at all.

“Hey,” you whisper, lifting the curtain of the palanquin. A maid quickly answers to your beckon.

“Yes, my lady?”

“Who are the candidates today again? You have a...list or brochure of sorts?”

“Just a moment, my lady, I’ll retrieve the scroll for you.”

You open the scroll and peruse the contents. Huh, all the neighboring kingdoms are going all out this year. There’s the Kingdoms of Nekoma, Inarizaki, Fukurodani, Aoba Johsai, Shiratorizawa...Wow, even Johzenji and Nohebi have candidates? Funny, all of these are all presenting their crown princes too. As they should, you are the most beloved princess of the Kingdom of YoreNaym, and the suitor you choose will bring you back as a blessing to his kingdom. It’s a total bummer that the Kingdom of Itachiyama isn’t participating this year. Sakusa’s crown prince succession is next year! You have heard so many swoon worthy stories about that princeling, even paid handsome amounts of money for paparazzi paintings of the beautiful man. No one will find out that the princess of YoreNaym actually hoards little pictures of Prince Sakusa in her panties drawers. It’s a shame you aren’t picking your husband next year.

There’s one more Kingdom on the list that surprises you. Kingdom of Karasuno, or more commonly referred to as the Kingdom of “Fallen Crows”. According to legends, they used to be quite a prosperous kingdom, but after a few generations of inept leadership, a drought, and poor trade economy...the Kingdom has mostly faded into obscurity. It’s been years since a suitor candidate has been offered. So who is it?

“Sawamura Daichi,” you whisper to yourself, “Interesting.”

The festival ground outdoors is especially grand. There are a huge number of tables prepared off to the side for guests. Trays of food, fruits and wine are provided for every single guest in attendance. You are led by the attendants to the temporary throne seat as the guest of honor. As you make your way to the throne, all the guests stand up to acknowledge your entrance. It’s so pressuring and a part of you wishes you can just dig a hole and bury yourself on the spot. You don’t even want to think about how many eyes are on you. They are all just jealous because, really. Take my word for it, I’m the narrator.

When you take a seat, the guests reseat themselves. A shaman comes to the center stage and bows to you.

“My lady, the time is auspicious, let us commence the Festival of Unity. At this time, I’ll be introducing the eligible bachelors from neighboring kingdoms near and far. They have passed the arduous tests and come as the best to offer in asking for your hand. Each of the suitors will present to you with a talent or skill, as to show you their excellence. After the demonstrations, you will be allowed to take your pick. Whereupon you will—”

“Okay, I get it! They will participate in a talent show, we clap, and I choose a husband, I got it!” You snap, cutting the shaman’s words off. Your patience is wearing thin.

A number of guests can be heard mumbling in the crowds, probably commenting on your behavior. Your eyes scan the guests, you can care less. Judgmental eyes, scheming eyes, lecherous eyes, disgusting eyes....Your gaze meeting with a pair of eyes that are absolutely blank. Wait, not blank as in emotionless. Non-judgemental? The opposite of unkind? Dare you say, polite? He gives you a smile and returns to taking a sip from his goblet. You scan his clothing up and down to look for his family crest. Black and orange. A crow. Karasuno.

Your thoughts are jumbled as an increasing amount of questions fill your mind. He? Karasuno? That Kingdom of Fallen Crows? You barely hear the shaman announce the first candidate.

“Bokuto Koutarou from Kingdom of Fukurodani.” Bokuto is a very large, very well built man. He is wearing his family crest of an owl across his back proudly. You can tell his chest is incredibly broad, the bulge of his big tiddies stretch the tight shirt he’s in. If you squint hard enough, you can maybe see the outline of his nipples through the training shirt, but maybe that’s just your perverted imagination too. Bokuto comes to the center stage and greets you.

“Hey! I’ll uh, demonstrate my strength to you, my lady.” He easily picks up a huge hunk of metal and lifts it with ease above his head. Damn beefiness, those arms of his. Seeing the bulges flex when he flexes has you dreaming of mouth along that delicious flesh. And when he pins you down under his massive body? Ooh, if this is the first demonstration, you’re excited to see the whole lineup today. Gasps and murmurs can be heard in the crowd. Bokuto grins and drops the load on the ground. You can almost feel the tremors beneath your feet. Truly, a herculean feat.

“Thank you, Bokuto, I have seen your demonstration and all those here are witnesses.”

Bokuto’s demonstration is a showy start of the competition for your hand. The shaman announces the next candidate. “Ushijima Wakatoshi from the Kingdom of Shiratorizawa.”

Ushijima walks up to the stage exuding the regal aura of nobility; a byproduct of his strict upbringing. The twin crests of an eagle decorate his shoulder pads. His expression is quite cold, but there’s a saying, “it’s always the quiet ones.” You lick your lips and study him some more.

“Greeting to the princess,” he says with a deep bow. “I also bring a demonstration of my martial prowess.” Ushijima takes off the bow and quiver of arrows from his back and nods at his attendant who then catapults three apples high up into the air. Everyone’s eyes follow the  trajectory of the objects, squinting to see what’s happening. No way.

Ushijima draws the bow back and calmly shoots one arrow, perfectly spearing the three fruits along the shaft. The crowd bursts into cheers. You also find your tight grip on armrest loosening, the tension from the scene dissipating in a moment. Ushijima’s calmness, accuracy, decision-making...he would make a very suitable partner for sure. Co-workers of sorts, that is.

You know your marriage carries a lot of weight politically and the fate of the whole universe will rest on your decision. Maybe not the whole universe, but close enough. But, marital bliss is important too right? Is Ushijima the right choice? There are still many more candidates, it’ll be best not to make a rash decision. Your gaze wanders over back to the Karasuno prince who is clapping earnestly for Ushijima’s performance. He’s acknowledging a rival’s strength, you think to yourself. Well, that’s certainly a rare but admirable trait. A confident man, he is.

After Ushijima’s demonstration, Oikawa Tooru’s enchanting musical performance offers a much desired change of pace. The rhythm and melody from his zither carries both the energy of fortitude as well as a graceful spirit. Quite stunning, but just not quite the musical vibe you’re feeling at the moment. Bummer, maybe a different day, really. Could be friends?

Kuroo Tetsurou from the Kingdom of Nekoma offers a particularly memorable performance too. Kuroo comes to the center stage with a trough filled with flames. Everyone is at a loss as to what is going on. Kuroo flashes you a grin before taking out a few pouches containing some powders. In a poof, the flames burst alive with colors blending blues and purples. And moments later yellows and greens, even reds. No one has ever seen fire change color like so.

“Witchcraft!” someone gasps.

“No it must be alchemy. Dangerous craft,” another adds.

Kuroo bows to you. “My lady, this is called chemistry, a discipline of science.”

Kuroo’s smiles teeter on the edge of flirtations and you cannot deny that your heart flutters just slightly when you see his crooked grin. He’s intelligent, humorous, and attractive. Definitely also a contender. A union with him might be fun. And especially when you see Kuroo run a hand through his messy, black locks and give you a piercing gaze, you almost wonder if this is the feeling of chemistry. It feels like you are naked under his seductive, golden eyes, completely submitted to his will and absolutely drugged. And you fear that if he sends you another one of his grins, you’ll come untouched. Dangerous, send him off immediately.

“Thank you, Kuroo, I have seen your demonstration and all those here are witnesses.”

After Kuroo, many more candidates also come to the center stage for their demonstrations. Kita Shinsuke from the Kingdom of Inarizaki composes and recites poetry on the spot. His literary talents and mastery of public speech move a very large crowd of the literati officials. Kita is a charismatic leader and commands confidence. But he doesn’t seem to be the best fit. Your brain says ‘yes’, but your coochie just isn’t feeling it. The nerve signals say no.

Terushima Yuuji demonstrates a one-man comedy show, but his storytelling skills, although humorous, fall just a little short after Kita’s. Had Terushima been slotted for a different position, perhaps he would make a stronger impact.

Daishou Suguru. Interesting. But tongue itself will eventually get boring too.

A few more candidates demonstrate their talents to you. Most of them fail to impress you at all. Your blank expression is more than enough to make a few almost shit their pants or cry on the way they exit the stage. It’s really not their fault, you’re just a bit tired after seeing so many performances and demonstrations. You are just trying to find the best fit after all. It’s your duty and responsibility as the muthereffing princess of the Kingdom of YoreNaym.

“Sawamura Daichi from the Kingdom of Karasuno.”

The crowd is silent as Daichi stands up from his seat and makes his way to the center. His shoulder is relaxed and his head is held high. He doesn’t have the large build of Bokuto nor is he decked out in regal fabrics like Ushijima. His hair is simple and clean. His expression is polite and pleasant. Amongst the sea of beautiful and talented men, Daichi is like an ordinary seashell buried in the sand. But like how too many bites of dessert beckon the simplicity of water, Daichi’s humble presence makes him stand out in particular.

Daichi bows deeply. “I send my deepest regards to the princess. I am Sawamura Daichi from the Kingdom of Karasuno.”

“Please rise, Sawamura. What demonstration do you bring to me today?”

“My lady, I have nothing showy in particular. I only bring myself. And please feel free to call me Daichi.” You can feel his piercing gaze on you, confident and assertive. So he has some guts. It beckons you to submit, but you bite back. Grrrrr.

“Just yourself? That’s quite cocky of you Daichi. Others bring talents and demonstrations of qualities that make them fit as my suitor. What do you have to offer for me to choose you? Or is that something you are not looking for at all?”

“Karasuno,” Daichi begins, “Karasuno is a good kingdom. For many years long ago, our people have suffered greatly and we have gained a poor moniker. However, for the last few years, the kingdom has made significant progress and improvements. Alongside my brethren and officers of my court,” Daichi gestures to his entourage sitting off to the side, “We have come a long way. ”

“You tell me much about your home, Daichi, but what about you?”

Daichi pauses for a moment to collect his thoughts. He is well aware of the pressures you are putting on him, testing his convictions to the limit. You are a princess after all, so it’s only natural that you test his qualifications. Diachi swallows his nerves and faces your confrontation head on.

“I come to tell you the truth, my lady. I cannot hide these facts about myself or my kingdom. I am truthful, honest, but I have an unshaken belief that my kingdom will prosper because I have my closest and trusted with me. Each of them have their talents and strengths. Karasuno is a band with a bit of everything, and we’re family.”

You inwardly sigh. It seems like Daichi won’t be completely living up your hopes. At first you thought that his confident yet humble demeanor must hide something. Something incredible, because he can sit back and freely applaud other men for their talents. Something remarkable because he doesn’t feel the need to jump out in front of others. Something big. Very big.

“I don’t doubt your family’s bond or strength, but I am here to choose a suitor, a husband in layman's terms. So, I suppose that—”

“Wait,” Daichi cries out, and gestures towards his Karasuno brethren.

A tangerine head jumps up and brings out a scroll. He skips a few steps towards you and passes the document over to the shaman who brings it to you.

“My resume, if you will, my lady. I have no other talents but what is shown there.”

You glance at Daichi, studying him closely. From his clenched fist, you can tell that even in this moment, he’s a bit shaken and nervous. You undo the ties on the scroll and unravel the contents.

All eyes are fixed on you, trying to decipher every microexpression you make. The slight widened eyes, the twitch of the brow. The slight part of the lips and the deep breathes from you trying to calm the invisible fire that’s building in your core. It’s big. If the resume is accurate, Daichi’s demeanor truly is hiding a beast. A massive, humongous, schlong. Finer than any specimen you have seen in banned pictorial books you read and hide under your massive princess bed.

The sheer size and girth of the XL 2d image is rendered in X-TRA fine detail. You brush a finger onto the parchment, tracing the lines depicting the veins running along the shaft. You gulp, rubbing your finger down what is drawn as a big, swollen tip that’s glistening. Artists these days are so detail-oriented, it looks as if precum is just dripping from the tip and shimmering. So realistic, you just want to take it all into your mouth. To gag or to choke. Neither are a question.

The balls, those massive balls that are the storehouses for an endless supply of fresh cum. Organics from the finest the kingdom has to offer. Precious jewels hanging at the base, ripe for your licking. It looks so juicy and plump and you want nothing more than to rub your cheeks, cooing at how cute they are.

You know it’s good. It better be good if the painting is depicting something this sumptuous. If this is the real deal, then you really have nailed the jackpot and secured a brilliant future for yourself. Marital bliss. Bedroom adventures. Bedroom adventures where he’ll fulfill every nightmarish fantasy you ever have. It’ll be hard at first, your cunt’s so tight and he’s so big! But it’s okay, you’ll take him like the royal princess you are because the Kingdom of YoreNaym raises whores and sluts only!

No scratch that. Coital activities can take place anywhere. Maybe you’ll cockwarm him while the two of you hear what the morning court has to say about the affairs of the kingdom. Maybe you’ll find yourself tumbling around in the garden after a cute game of hide and seek, skirt hiked up, as he fucks a grass stain into your back! Okay. That might not be the best idea. Perhaps just once. For novelty’s sake.

But hear me out, when you are sneaking into the kitchen for some snacks, he’ll pin you on the large baker’s table and just take you right there to fuck his babies into your womb. His cock pumping into you as the table creaks and shakes from his thunderous movements. He’ll fill you to the brim with copious amounts of his hot cum, heaps and heaps of them, just like the baker fills the buns with cream custard in the most obscene fashion ever. Watch your belly rise and bulge up like pastries in the oven. Oooh cummies.

You sigh and squirm in the seats as you continue examining the masterpiece of a dick. You feel your heartbeat racing wildly as if you are caught tinkling in the castle fountain. It’s unknown if you ever did that, by the way. Just saying, your memory is failing you just a tad. But oh gosh, you’re wet already. The slick pooling between your folds is just soaking through your princess panties; the ones in the drawer where you keep all your secret prince Sakusa drawings heehee. But Sakusa’s pretty face aside, you are now face to face with the most magnificent dick pic you’ll ever receive. Not really unsolicited, but damn work of art. Literally.

The crowd is silent when you clear your throat and roll up the scroll, taking extra care to not let anyone else touch your new precious treasure. You lean forward and perceive Daichi. Daichi gives you a cocky grin, showing his teeth. Slightly stained with the wine, but it’s just temporary. It doesn’t matter as long as the real deal is...well, real.

Daichi catches your eyes wandering to the outline of the bulge between his legs. The glorious dickprint that he’s casually showing to everyone present. It puts Herculean Bokuto to shame, Ushijima into a blushing mess. Kuroo nearly snorts his colored powders. Daishou’s tongue hangs out and dries. Oikawa is sent to the medics. Kita no longer waxes poetry about the weather. Terushima leaves the party early.

Daichi is smug and casually asks, “My lady, would you like to examine the goods? I am a pure man and would not carelessly offer tastes to anyone. But you are a princess of the Kingdom of YoreNaym. You can have a sampling before you commit. Satisfaction guaranteed.”

#haikyuu smut #hq smut #daichi smut #daichi x reader smut #daichi x reader #did y'all see kazooli's post on fetishizing fictional men and their fictional dicks and balls? #this is my answer #forever a princess of yorenaym #you can be too if you want #emi.freshtea #ch daichi #🍵.daichi

[dodo-begone]

Since you liked the last part here's another and to pardon my French shit is about to hit the fan.

Philza could hardly wait to tell his older sons, he was a bit disappointed in Tommy for hiding your hybrid nature from him he had so much lost time to make up for all this time he could have been teaching you how to make a proper nest, how to fly once your wings were big enough or how to communicate with chirps and peeps, he calmed himself he knew now and once they arrived Wilbur and Technoblade would know as well. Just the thought of the little fledgling clothed in his flocks,colors joyfully chirping at him,wings no longer hidden was just making his chat go wild (fledgling, baby bird, protect, bring them here, why do we have to wait get baby bird now) while he did agree with chats caws they needed to get everything set up adopting them into the family would be a breeze all of his sons adored his fledgling, Tommy obviously as he was glued to your side whenever he could, Wilbur did as well spending hours in the library hidden away with his fledgling in a dusty corner, Techno as always showed his affection in spars and gifts of war even his sons chat loved them to the point where they were reluctant to spar. No there would be no resistance to you joining his flock from anyone (not even you). He was interupted when his elder sons entered time to share the good news.

Techno wouldn't admit it but he was nervous when he and Wilbur were called to their fathers chambers, was he right and you were sick with some incurable illness like the one that took their mother not long after Theseus came into the world. He didn't know if he would remain sain if that were the case driven mad by either his own or chats grief. The news that you were soon to be officially adopted into their family filled him with glee (new sibling,big bro techno arc E, E, cuddles for the cuddle god) oh he had to go to his workshop after he wouldn't allow another to forge your crown, he already had a design in mind along with half a dozen other gold based gifts in mind. But then his father grew silent here it comes he thought the fact that you were ill or had a debilitating sickness, when his fathers smile grew as static filled his ears as the fact you were a hybrid was shared with them, no, not just the fact that you were a hybrid, you were a winged hybrid like his father. A pained hiss escaped his lips(little bird, E, poggers, Icarus, Icarus, little birdie, build a nest for little bird, Gold armor) chat screaming in joy at the knowledge of your heritage. At least now he could gift you armor, though he didn't even know of he would be able to let you out of sight if you wore gold armor( not that he would without the armor either).

Wilbur was so exstatic at the news that you were joining the family he could already picture your future room covered in their families crest and colours, oh you would need your clothes embroidered with the royal crest, he would finally be able to call you his sibling out loud and that made the piglin part of his brain rumble in possessive delight. He may have not had the more outward hybrid traits that his twin had but he still had the love of gold and possessiveness over those he saw as his family and now you officially were going to be apart of it. Its only when his father told them about your winged hybrid nature that he snapped out of his daydream, this day kept getting better and better he would have wing slits added to your clothes alongside the family crest, ahhhh just the thought of all the feathery hugs he's would get in the near future from his new little sibling ( never letting go no matter how much you struggled) in their jubilation they never noticed the gold haired eavesdroper.

Tommy ran to your room as fast as possible only stopping in his room to gather the necessary supplies, you needed to leave now or you would never be able to run if you were officially a member of the Royal family you would never have the chance to escape their talons, their suffocating "love" no matter how far you ran. Waking you he watched as your face paled as he told you about what he heard, handing you a set of commoners clothes (coat big enough to hide your wings under) to change into he relayed his plan as he rubbed dye into your hair, run for the border to the nation of L'manberg it was the closest nation without an extradition treaty with the empire and it had a good enough army that they could go toe to toe with the empire as it currently was. He would burn anything of yours that you couldn't take so Technos hunting hounds would have no scent to follow and he would cover for you as long as he could giving you the precious time you needed to run after all a single minute could be the difference between the borders being open or closed. He shut out the selfish part of him that whispered that you should stay after all aren't you family to him, doesn't he want you to never need to feel hunger again, to have the unconditional love of a family, as he handed you all the money you would need to set up a new life. He watched as you slowly glided down to the forested floor below your guest room and as you vanished into the woods heading straight for the border between the empire and L'manberg, he prayed to any god that would listen that you would escape from this twisted family love they all had for you he forced himself to look away from the window as his gaze fell on the wardrobe he set about his part of the plan burning everything with your scent in the fireplace.

The next day was an ordinary one for the Royal family as far as anyone could tell but for its members it was easy to see that the elder three were excited about something, when you didn't arrive at the breakfast table with the youngest Prince the concerned emperor asked his youngest as to where you were only for the Prince to reply that you had thrown yourself into your studies so hard that you were exhausted and as such he told you to sleep in and recuperate. When you didn't show at lunch the emperor decided against his youngests protests went to his soon to be child's chambers. A few minutes later the whole castle heard the heartbroken wails of the emperor, his oldest two children ran to their fathers aid while the youngest just walked, the oldest and middle prince's just took in the scene that brought the emperor to his knees a room devoid of any sign you had ever been there, no clothes, no toys or nicknacks, the bed didn't even have any sheets the room was truly void of any sign you ever existed just the bitter scent of smoke filled the air and ashes spilled from the fireplace. Helping their father to his feet they ran alongside him to send out the order to lock down the borders, to find their missing family member. The youngest again just watched and hoped he had bought you enough time, he had the order to lock down the borders had come just hours after you had crossed into L'manberg mourning the fact you would never see your dear friend again.However chat wasn't wrong to call you Icarus after all you had flow to close to their sun, you would fall and drown in their love they would ensure it. Good luck out running the rising tide Icarus.

General HCs: Students

Excluding Dekusquad and Bakusquad I have everyone else here, I hope you like it ☺

Tokoyami (+Dark Shadow)

* He's really trying to be a harbinger of truth and exposer of deciet. He's a dork. He's just trying to impress you.

* He's so stupidly into music and has like seven playlists he's made for you. Please listen to them he worked hard. He's really shy about his music tastes.

* Dark Shadow teases him relentlessly. You're walking near him? Tokoyami mysteriously trips into your open arms. You need help reaching something on a high shelf? Shadow birb got you covered. His only goal is to make you notice how flustered he is with you.

* He's insecure about being part avian. Most people aren't really attracted to birds, right? Honestly he could look like anything, it doesn't matter. He's a little angsty but kind hearted and pays close attention to you.

Jiro

* She's written like fifteen songs for you and you've heard none of them. They're top secret hidden in her locked diary. If you ask her very nicely and promise not to judge she'll play some for you.

* Expect a lot of punk and metal gifts from her. Her entire existence is punk and metal please lift her up. She is so shy about it.

* Totally the flustered gf. Borrows your clothes without asking and denies it only to approach you in front of everyone else and be like "oh hey here's your shirt back btw" and leave like it was nothing but she is screaming inside.

* Honestly just share a closet with her you two would trade clothes so often you'd need to stitch your names into the tags to keep track. Share the same perfume/cologne too while you're at it. Did you use the same fragrance or did you snuggle together for an hour? No one else knows.

Momo

* She knows other people are after her either for her physique, her family wealth or both and as such, is distrustful at first. She doesn't want to fall for someone only to learn they're using her. Give her space to get comfortable with who you are.

* That said when she knows it's genuine feelings she spoils you rotten. Designer clothes, expensive jewelry, a custom hero costume etc. Her wallet is yours for the taking. Please don't fuck her over.

* Because her family is well known both as elites and heroes she has a reputation to keep up. She insists that you go with her dressed well and looking great so she can show you off with style.

* She is actually very soft hearted and needs some soft love sometimes. Just sit with her under a blanket she made and watch a romcom. Don't judge her for binge eating, she needs to eat well to support her quirk. If anyone makes fun of her kick their ass into the stratosphere.

Aoyama

* He simply will not stop sparkling and neither shall you. He shares his skin care, hair care and multi vitamins with you. You're both glowing, literally.

* He can be spontaneous and over the top in everything he does. He likes to show off and catch stares. He wants to catch your stare. If you gaze longingly at him he'll act suave while squealing with glee inside.

* He spends his money frivolously. He buys expensive care products, jewelry, clothes, stuffed animals...Did I mention it's all for you? He's penniless for you and doesn't mind that at all.

* He craves your attention so much. Spend some time alone with him and just look at him. In public keep your eyes locked on him. His ego will go through the roof, in the best way.

Monoma

* He is so fucking full of himself. Until you're around. He's usually narcissistic and up his own ass but when you walk by he's suddenly humble, kind and friendly. It's just him wanting you to see his good side.

* Sweet hearted asshole wants to feel loved. Just be kind to him. Help him with his homework. Spend free time with him. Help him show up 1-A. He'll love it.

* Totally uses you as a reason 1-B is better than 1-A. "Sure you guys fought villains and all but you don't have anyone even vaguely as attractive as my beloved!" Just let him have his fun in the sun.

* His hero costume is over the top for a reason. He wants to be the prince to sweep you off your feet, kiss you and ride off on a horse. He has the attire covered. Next, your love.

Hitoshi

* Above anything please just be accepting of his quirk. Don't ask him to use it for anything unnecessary or say anything bad about it. He's been ridiculed his entire life for his "villainous quirk", please be kind.

* Nap with him dammit. He's sleeping deprived because he pours all day and night into becoming good enough for 1-A. He wants to be a real hero and he values that over sleep. Cuddle with him at night and he'll sleep like a happy rock.

* You must love cats, end of discussion. His backpack is cat shaped, his phone case is a cat, his spirit animal is a cat, he may as well be a cat. He'd be over the moon if you compares him to a Maine Coon.

* When he does get into 1-A please be happy for him. He worked so hard for it, show your support. Even if you're in different classes you can see each other during lunchbreaks and after school.

Mirio

* He is sunshine. He is warmth. He adopts introverts. It's our man. His hugs are like butterfly kisses if they could crush you.

* He's the type to be really into you and still treat you like a friend. He can't get with someone unless he knows them very well beforehand.

* Though he's friendly and out reaching to others he's still a private person who shares little about his personal life. He needs to learn about you first. Being open yourself will encourage him to start chatting about himself.

* He loves romantic songs. He isn't one for Spotify, playlists or the such but if he hears a song that makes him think of you he's texting you the link immediately. He gets so caught up texting you that he stops listening to others and is in his own little world.

Tamaki

* He is just....So shy. So baby. He really wants to be a strong hero and save the people he loves but he is so shy. Don't pressure him into anything, he just needs someone who will let him be himself.

* That said, he has no experience in love. He's had crushes over the years but nothing meaningful enough to mention. Until you came along and took his heart for a stroll. Now you're all he thinks about. Is your hand warm? Do you like to kiss cheeks? What's your favorite flavor Pop Tart?

* When he manages to confess to you (not if, when) it'll be something cheesy but sweet. Like on Valentine's Day he'll leave a heartfelt card on your desk with his signature and a flower. He's a simple man.

* His feelings are so sensitive please never yell at him, not even out of excitement. He's scared of upsetting the people he cares about and wouldn't dream of upsetting you, his little mochi ice cream. Yes all his pet names for you are based on food.

Nejire

* She's the personification of a flower crown. With thorns. Very soft, sweet and pleasing to the eyes but very capable of defending herself. She is not a sex object and beats the ass of anyone who says so about herself or you.

* I personally headcanon her as asexual but that's my idea on it. You can see it however you like. Either way she's very romantic and loves cute gestures like 3 foot tall teddy bears and hand sewn clothes.

* Imagine this: at the beauty pageant, she wears a dress you sewed for her yourself and, alongside her natural beauty and talent, wins the pageant. She would have just been proud to show everyone your skills but she won wearing that dress, you can bet she's telling everyone you made it.

* She treats Eri like a daughter and hopes you'll do the same with her. Call it a little childish but she loves the idea of playing house with you. Married in a little happy home caring for Eri together.

I think that's everyone I need to add for now. If you want to see someone else in this let me know! My next two posts will be this same format for pros and villains. If you have any headcanons to share or a request my inbox is open

Timekeeper's assistants AU

Alright y'all! This is gonna be my info dump post for the Timekeepers assistant Au- buckle up cause it's gonna be a long one!

Inspired by @queendibz post here

The entire purpose of the assistant squad is to keep all the time lines running smoothly- this can range from stopping a world ending event to making sure things misplaced by natural ghost portals get put back into the right time and place.

So First up on the crew list,

Dan:

-Dan definitely isn't a homicidal maniac anymore but he's not 100 percent "redeemed" either.

-I mean he's probably still a bit of sadist but he tries not to be?

-The best description I can give is that he's in recovery, basically.

-So, Clockwork knew that Dan would eventually bust out of the thermos just because it wasn't built to hold a ghost of his power level for a prolonged period of time. But beyond that?? He has no idea about anything in regards to Dan. Since Dan's creation was averted, his timeline doesn't exist anymore. He's a paradox that exists outside of time, and unfortunately, that means he's the one entity in the multiverse that exists in Clockwork's blindspot. There's no way for him to know what Dan's going to do next.

-Anyway, Dan eventually breaks out of the thermos fully intending to Fuck Shit Up, And Clockwork makes a point of informing him that if he leaves the clock tower he will cease to exist. (Like Dan, the tower exists outside of time, so he's safe there.)

-Dan is the first member of the assistant squad. Granted, it took a while for him to come around to the idea of helping Clockwork but he got there eventually.

-Dan is an entity that was born out of the rage and grief of two very broken people and he has so much shit he's working through as a result

-One of the first things he had to do was recognize and accept that he's an entity that's completely separate from Vlad and Danny. He might have all their memories and the weight of their mistakes on his shoulders, and on top of that, the atrocities he himself committed because of them. The first step is realizing that he doesn't have to be defined by the people that made him.

-It's a really fucking difficult thing to do tho and he's got a lot of weird emotions in regards to Vlad, Danny and the Fentons as a result. A near constant identity crisis, self loathing, daddy issues, something that could arguably be called an Oedipus complex, (FUCKING THANKS, VLAD)

-Cannot stand the smell of fast food, it makes him nauseous and the sight of Nasty Burger sauce alone is enough to make him vomit Ectoplasm.

-He's just a hot mess all around y'all

-He tries to keep his interactions with the Danny's as minimal as possible at first bc of this. The first time he meets them in person he shape shifts into Danny like he did in TUE and just pretends to be one of them. Some of them have had interactions with their respective Dan's already and would be super wary of him and probably pretty freaked out otherwise.

-Dan is eventually allowed to leave the clocktower for supervised "Field missions" with the aid of a time medallion to keep him from poofing out of existence, but it takes a while for clockwork to build up that level of trust.

-Dan's shapeshifting ability Actually comes into play a bit on a lot of those missions, since he can Mimic Danny it also makes sense that he'd be able to impersonate Vlad in the same way. Granted he's not incredibly comfortable taking on either of their appearances but it does help him hone his shapeshifting ability to the point where he's able to pick and choose features from both Vlad and Danny and sorta make his own human disguise.

-Most of the time he acts as the eye in the sky from the tower, monitoring for timeline anomalies and then notifying the appropriate member of the assistant squad.

-He has a room under the clock tower that he operates from. I kinda like the idea of there being like, catacombs down there? Anyway he's got all kinds of monitors and view screens and he very rarely leaves. It also doubles as his "living space." He doesn't need to sleep but he's got a big mess of a pillow fort that he crashes in regardless bc sometimes you just NEED to be unconscious for a while. The catacombs are also absolutely full of those little blob ghosts that wander around the zone bc They're attracted to the ecto energy the tower gives off. He's really annoyed by them at first but they grow on him after a while and now he just dotes on them.

-There's a specific throw pillow sized one that likes to hang out in Dan's room a lot and he ended up getting a little over attached to the stupid thing. His name is Dorian. Bc he's a gift.

-SIR THATS MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BLOB

-Dan's appearance has changed slightly. He wears his hair loose now and it's kinda just this big fiery mane when it's not contained. His cape is more of a cloak now, it has a hood and he wears it sorta pinned together at the shoulder so the DP logo is covered.

-Dan's relationship with the rest of the Danny's is kinda weird, and a little strained. He has a hard time being around them for very long because, well, he used to sort of be them? Except not really? He does care about them tho, and the last thing he'd want is for one of them to end up like him.

-His relationship with clockwork definitely starts out pretty familial, after he becomes his assistant, anyway. There's room for that to develop into meddling minutes but I'm not entirely sure if I'm gonna go that route yet.

-The Danny's only ever hear his voice for a while before he finally let's them meet him for real, so they end up calling him Charlie for a while as a joke. Cause Ya know. Charlie's angels. Even after Charlie still ends up being his designated name on missions.

Mer! Danny:

-Was recruited bc a lot of the shit that gets sucked through natural portals ends up in a body of water somewhere and when that happens he's on call to retrieve it.

-Is Actually not at all ghostly! Mer Danny's situation is basically the plot of H2O (just add water), or if you haven't seen that, Aquamarine. And by that I mean he's only a merfolk in water.

-He's an electric eel

-His Jack and Maddie are marine biologists, with a particular interest in marine cryptids

-We're taking sea monsters baby!!!

-Not entirely sure how this Danny ended up half mer yet but I'll figure it out, lmao.

-14 years old

-His nickname/ designation is "Moray"

Crown Prince! Danny:

-Nickname/designation is Prince / Princey

-16 years old

-Not allowed to go anywhere in the zone without the Fright knight bc of some ancient ghost law bullshit, so he has a constant babysitter.

-He's next in line bc he sealed away Pariah, but can't take the throne until he is both, A) at least 18 years and B) Completely deceased

-Vlad is his Regent bc he did have a part in the whole sealing the previous king thing, but he's also not completely dead so his power is super limited there.

-As Prince Danny has the crown of fire in his ghost form, although now the name is kinda ironic seeing as it's completely frozen over. It's blue now and it smokes like dry ice.

-As Regent, Vlad has the ring of rage for "safe keeping"

-Vlad and Danny are pretty much constantly at each other's throats, fright knights probably had to shut down more than a few of Vlad's attempts to usurp the crown from Danny through combat.

-Princey deals with the timeline issues that involve the ghost zones' internal / political affairs, and he's gotten very well versed with dealing with the Observants.

Winged! Danny :

-15 years old

-Mallard duck wings

-His Vlad is a swan

-Comes from a family of waterfowl, Jack is a goose, and Maddie is a white swan. Both he and jazz are ducks bc of their grandparents.

-As Fenton his wings are white, like jazz, and as phantom they turn black with a green iridescent sheen.

-He's trans

-Nickname/ designation is inviso Bill. Bc ducks have bills haha get it-

-Ghostly wail?? Nah son he's gotta killer QUACK

-Absolute besties with Mer!Danny/ Moray, sometimes they go swimming together after a mission.

Clone! Danny:

-Physically he's a 12-year-old, but he's only been alive for a few months.

-Alt universe where Vlad manages to stabilize the perfect clone with his own DNA.

-Dani still exists, and the original danny from his time line also rescued the other problematic clones.

-Doesnt like the fact that he's a clone, and very much wants them all DEAD. Bc them running around is a reminder that he's not the real danny.

-Human half looks the same aside from the widows peak and the mallen streak. His ghost half takes after plasmius. Blue skin, and the Hazmat kept it's original white colors.

-Probably has fangs and a forked tounge.

-Not so much a member of the squad as he is someone that they need to be keeping an eye on.

-Does NOT get along with them.

-Dan enjoys making him uncomfortable.

-Designation is Masters / the brat (not to his face tho)

Family Breakfast AU! Danny:

-A BABY

-The boy is a fucking overpowered todler okay. He's an 8 year old.

-The biological son of his Vlad, was born a Halfa. Jack, Vlad and Maddie got their shit together and are in a healthy poly relationship.

-Got separated from Vlad one time in the zone and inadvertently adopted by the assistant squad and clockwork.

-His Vlad is aware of the squad and just. Dad's the crap out of the Danny's as a result. It makes for some..... interesting interactions.

-I can't think of a nickname so I'm just gonna be lazy and say he gets to be the one Tru Danny bc cute little kind privileges lmao.

Full ghost! Danny:

-15 years old, will always look 14.

-Nickname/designation is Toast

-Died in the portal accident and got fucking FRIED.

-He always smells like somethings burning.

-He's really bright and sorta sparks a bit, you can see his bones glowing through the hazmat.

-He still leave the zone to protect his version of amity, but lives with clockwork full time.

Canon Danny (NOT PHANTOM PLANET COMPLIANT) :

-Basically show Danny, except phantom planet never happened fuck you

-Joined the crew after the events of de stabilized

-Also he's trans fuck butch

-Franken! Danny

-Yall remember that Headless Danny Au? This is my take.

-Is Actually 20 years old, but physically stuck at age 14. Bc he's a walking corpse :)

-Came from a timeline that was directly parallel to Full ghost! Danny. He dies in the portal accident, but jack and Maddie are in the lab when it happens and manage to sort of bring him back using a combination of science and freaky ghost junk.

-So he's basically possessing/ stuck inside of his own dead body. Which, is thankfully not rotting or going into rigor mortis bc Ectoplasm is rather similar to formaldehyde, but he's not the most durable thing and bits and pieces fall off from time to time.

-Like his head. For example.

-He's pretty desensitized to it at this point and if he loses a leg after a ghost fight he doesn't see anything wrong with sitting down on the curb of a main street to stich it back on. His being dead isn't exactly a secret.

-Don't ever ask him to "give you a hand" bc he can and will not hesitate to pop one off and Chuck it at you.

-Said hand and any other body part will continue to function just fine even if it isn't attached to anything, btw.

-Nickname/ designation is Adam. Bc. Ya know. that's the name Frankenstein's monster gave itself.

Post Phantom Planet! Danny:

-A very jaded 22 year old who is driven only by spite and enough caffeine to kill a horse

-Very, very tired of the hero thing.

-Being a global celebrity isn't all it's cracked up to be.

-Decided to follow Vlads lead and fuck off to space for a while. Partially to get away from everyone and also partially bc he kinda feels responsible for the fact that the only other person like him and probably floating DEAD in the void somewhere? And yeah Vlad fucked up all on his own but what if he'd tried harder to get through to him things could have been different-

-Joins the crew after a natural portal opens up in space and decides to help out and use clockworks resources to try and track down his Vlad.

-Nickname/ Designation is Polaris, aka the north star.
