God Doll Reader Blurb/Hcs

The death of God brought great calamity. The cause of their demise was untold, but the repercussions... were not. A tale written in blacken blood and lungs. Scorn by the transgressions and greed of their creations; the deity's decaying corpse spread disease and plague toppling entire cities in mere days. In search of a cure, the God's body was found and as its ribs disbursed as dust in the wind - its heart was revealed... and it was beating.

The heartbeat was faint - their last sliver of hope in humanity. The researchers sought to cut it open and distribute the cure to the highest bidders; actions halted and shunned by the leading board. That greed and selfishness was what lead to all of this. What they had in their possession was their second chance. To give as much as they took and restore the faith their creator entrusted them with. A new body was created for the god. One made of porcelain, a sacrifice, and the heart pumping enriched blood through synthetic veins. It was raised not as a tool, but as a person. Cottonmouth was their title - for the little balls of sweeten cotton injected with their saliva they requested be made to avoid discomfort from their patients. Cotton was happy with their life. Their decisions always mattered first, but they cared for the opinions of others more. When it was time for them to go out in the world, they asked their creators what name they should have. They insisted they decided on their own.

Y/n - is what they chose.

Onto the hcs -

Ushered into the outside world, Doll Reader runs a little clinic on the outskirts of a big city. Roughly seventy percent of the human population had been cured before their body was completed and while there are still infected groups, they mainly cure common colds and broken bones. Doll Reader is very curious and absent minded at times. The world around them is still so new to them, and they question many things in their head rather than out loud.

The main group of yans for them are the scientists/government and the people they've cured. It is extremely vital that their heart is never broken as it could result in a second fallout, and if they ever shed a tear - blood will be spilled. The agents assigned to watch them drag away rude patients in windowless vans as soon as they leave their office. A basket full of all the things they enjoyed at the compound is shipped expressly to their door.

Doll Reader believes in second chances for everyone - so they have no issue healing the third patient dragged into their office riddled with bullet holes or the one behind the building covered in blood and ducking behind trash cans when police cars roll by. Some of these people seek to use their kindness and naivety to their advantage, but the sparkle in their eyes as they ask what their favorite sucker flavor is their shining light at the end of the tunnel. That new friend from the dumpster brings them pizza because how can they be alive if they've never tried it and sleeps in the supply closet in their office. The boss of that "laundry cleaner" ends up on their table a couple times and tells them they're only a call away if they ever need anything - offering them a teddy bear with unusual eyes.

There's one patient that always comes in with a black eye or a split lip demanding to be healed before they go home. They're rude and snap at Reader if they get too close, but the doll can see through the facade and smiles back. They've written in their journals they hope to see this person more, so they can't be eliminated by the team monitoring Reader. The patient is so sick of their smile they feel nauseous whenever they see it...or is it when they don't? That stupid Doll is a tool. A machine for their benefit. Just because they've beaten someone who's say the same half to death doesn't mean they're in love with that thing.. It doesn't..

So why do their eyes water whenever they see them with someone else?

What are your opinions on our Lord and Savior Gywn?

He didn't save SHIT!! He took the perfectly (?) functioning humanity and ruined it! Look at it, it got Hollowing!!

Okay, I am making the 'Marika is a MILF Gwyn' jokes here and there, but 1) Marika is a bit more of a straight up cold and mean person, all things considered 2) Yet she still has enough nuance, and a lot of her actions might be written on reasonable fears and 3) Gwyn is even MORE nuanced than Marika, from what I have concluded so far! Laurence is a similar kind of sinner too. Comparison of the characters that share a trope is helpful for my thought process, so bear with me a little! With Marika I see a more direct disdain and fear before the very nature of life, cyclic and treacherous, uncontrollable, being meant to perish one day but with new life sprouting from it, and thus doing lovely things like shunning Crucible-related lifeforms. With Laurence, we have enough evidence so far that beasthood was not created by Healing Church but something already lingering in the human code after Pthumerians and Loran, so ambition to seize and control it it was risky but understandable!

But with Gwyn, we are confirmed that human nature itself is dark, undesirable an terrifying, as well as how he sorta had the chance to see it 'in action' during uniting with humans to take war on dragons. And also in Dark Souls the cyclic nature of Ages is just a fact, and it would make sense that should Age of Dark come, he and his family would be the first to go as beings of Light. It is a combination of things: his kind being in true danger and not just "risking to lose power", the treacherourness of how political allyship simply works (your today's ally country against the common enemy could tomorrow ally with someone else to start the war on YOU) and simply the not-so-metaphorical horrors of the Dark itself! is not a speculation, the dangers are RIGHT here!

Gwyn messed the natural order of humanity in a way that I personally dislike and express it on multiple occasions: trying to get rid of what's barbaric and dangerous yet natural and not accepting that there is no light without shadow, or life without death. But I also feel sympathetic because he had a legit reason to fear the darkness within men. In is not as much philosophical but a literal concept in Dark Souls lore. He acted out of fear, backed up with a precedent, and it brought the ruin to himself and everyone else. Writing this I'd say he sorta falls for the type of a person I can only like in fiction but resent in reality. I guess I don't need to explain what kind of people this is, paranoid "but for a valid reason", being "preventive" with their drastic measures.. Good intentions path to hell self-fulfilling prophesy blablabla. His specieism doesn't help his case in the slighest. Ironically, all extremely human behavior of him!

(LOL thank you based Goldmask as usual xddd) At the same time, he is not entirely corrupt with the power he seized and used to strip humanity of what was natural for them; he, in the end, committed to what he believed was better for everyone and sacrificed HIMSELF too. I can respect the cunning and machiavellian person who, in the end, is above the vanity of a 'savior' and can give themselves too, not only others. He also did share his power with some humans, showing that he can take kinda benevolent choices even with those he fears. Yeah, part of calculated risk could be there; dude gave the city and his daughter to the Pygmy to, again, preemptively avoid some animosity. But in the case with the four kings, did he HAVE to? Or Seath for that matter, who is a dragon, another species he doesn't like?

I find it hard to detect 'truly' corrupt people in Soulsborne setting in general, and yeah we can fiddle with 'nuanced character' and 'everyone is morally grey' forever and never discover THE big bad we'd love to hate. But, out of those big bads, I think he deserves the benefit of being seen as a way more nuanced character than the corrupt leader the most! It is the case where he should not have done anything, but also should not have NOT done anything.. Soulsborne is eager with placing characters in a position and knowledge where every choice is wrong and they just pick a poison for themselves (and everyone else xd). Jokes about "haha people in power moment" are still mostly jokes for me. He is sympathetic in a way not like I think I'd have done the same (let's be real, I revel in darkness gfjjghk) but in a way where I understand too much to feel negative 🤔

#though you can NOT take my word since I apologize aldrich and mico lmao #dark souls #dark souls 1 #gwyn lord of cinder #I say all this but after writing all this I feel like liking him more xd #closer examination helps! #also sorry this is not my average infodump essay I just need more time! #i try to cram more DS lore in my brain but it gives me 'STORAGE FULL REMOVE SOME BB/ER LORE' error gghhh #again I just need (more eyes on my brain) time xd #also am I tripping or I had ask about Gael too? #i need to fix my inbox its so broken #but also yes advantage of asking my DS opinions is that they're ACTUAL opinions #and not autism xd #ask replies

The Komi Report - Communications 437, 438, & 439

This week in Komi Can't Communicate:

A familiar name...

...a cryptic trial...

...and a triple threat.

Read It: Mangareader Mangakakalot Viz Media (North America Exclusive) Mangadex (Dead, but there’s the backlog; and Spanish language updates)

There is so much going on this week.... much to interest us!!!

It is time for stage two of the university entrance process... and we meet someone new.

Tadano??? 👀👀👀 A cousin? A coincidence? To me this is a fascinating plot twist. She's like boy-Tadano; she introduces herself as ordinary, and on the train she let's an old man have her seat. Everyone does that, sure, but it's very Tadano for it to be specifically shown to us. Who is this mysterious girl???

Tangent - Oda has said in an interview that Komi was originally going to be a boy, but his editor suggested making the character a girl instead (he doesn't elaborate on this). One doesn't imagine that Oda would have made the manga a yaoi (although that would have been awesome); so if Komi had been a boy, that would have made Tadano a girl. This is pertinent in that I am now imagining Maruko as boy-Tadano's alternate reality counterpart.

I wonder if she's ever been to Cairns (Cairns is a popular Australian holiday destination for Japanese tourists. It's in the far north and has many attractions, making it a more affordable and accessible holiday spot than places such as Sydney. Fuck Sydney. No one likes Sydney.)

I love her....... and her specialty is reading the room. hehehehehehe

What do you think is the tastiest condiment for a friend egg? I don't eat fried eggs often because I don't like eggs enough to cook them for myself, so I'm not well-versed in appropriate egg condiments. Sometimes with these complex political topics you just have to say "sorry, I'm not well informed enough to have an opinion".

The question of her connection to boy-Tadano is going to dominate my mind until it's answered.

Egypt.... we don't get much of this girl, so all I can really say is that I like her look.

I like how, before this point, Oda obfuscates that there are three of them.

In these earlier panels

(text removed for ease of viewing) you can see that there are three of them, but one may not notice unless one is paying attention. A nice detail 👍. Also, freaky hive-mind triplets........... very cool!

I bet their psychic triplet connection allows them to share what they taste and experience. Eating with three mouths at the same time... the possibilities.......

King Khufu. I searched 'King Khufu' and think this funky ivory carving of him is cool

Girl it's okay to ask follow-up questions asodnalsdknasd please ask what she means

Komi is so offended by the idea of putting pepper on an egg that she shuns girl-Tadano cruelly 😓

I have a sneaking suspicion that 'soy sauce and wasabi' got exactly three votes. This is blatantly unfair, as a hive-mind like this should only be counted as one person.

AJBKJASWKJASJNAOJS I know the answer to this one - put me in charge. Give ol' Alice the reigns and I'll set everyone straight.

I liked these triplets, but their idea for world peace is so stupid that I feel exactly how Komi did when girl-Tadano suggested putting pepper on an egg.

overthrow capitalism and abolish the state!!!!!

I'm back to liking the triplets. Their smug, controlling attitude is very evil and endearing.

AOISHOAISJOIASJOLAM it's like her brain shut down earlier and only just booted back up. Everyone appears to have forgotten the question of world peace and focused entirely on Komi's egg opinions.

And that's it for this week!!! We are left with a cliffhanger; the group discussion was getting heated and then Komi came in with a total curve ball. I'm pleased to see more of Komi's university entrance process, and so far it's been fun! The new characters are interesting; especially girl-Tadano (for the reason of her name). The triplets are fun, and I'm not sure what to make of Egypt at the moment. I am most curious to see how it continues next week!

Until then, stay safe!! I'll see you soon.

[remnostrum]

some of my favorite things to see in steddie fics (or headcanons i personally have):

note: they don't all exist in the same universe

Steve being really good at one thing that nobody expects him to be good at.

Hard of hearing Steve

Eddie delving deeper into his artsy side, may it be drawing more specific portraits, doodling, painting D&D minis, or even tattooing.

Eddie having a hate boner for Steve Harrington pre-season 4, and proceeding to have a hate crush on him for the duration of Steve's time in high school.

Steve being close to Holly Wheeler because he's probably the most affectionate person in the Wheeler household every time he visits besides Karen.

In relation to the previous bullet, Steve generally being more affectionate (read: touch starved) with others because he grew up with barely any affection at all.

(not popular but something i want to see:) Eddie probably entertains some of the kids in the trailer park with stories because it's something he would've wanted as a kid.

Confident Steve flirting with Eddie, post-bisexual awakening. Additionally, Eddie being a flustered mess and not knowing what to do. Also known as, Eddie flirting up a storm and when Steve flirts back, he proceeds to stutter and trip over himself.

Eddie making time to learn about Steve's interests because Steve tries hard to learn his.

Hairdresser or Baker/Cook Steve! I think it's just neat to see him be good at something.

Eddie not being a music snob. Like, yes, he's a huge metalhead and he will always have strong opinions about what he thinks is the best, but he doesn't shun any other opinions because why should he? To each their own.

Eddie realizing that what he did to Lucas was a shitty thing when his basketball game and Hellfire Night landed on the same day and making it up to him.

Anytime Steve tries to play Dungeons & Dragons is my favorite.

Steve knowing he's bisexual long ago but never telling anyone until they find out on their own.

FAKE DATING AUs !! Also anything tagged with Idiots to Lovers.

Domestic steddie slow dancing in the kitchen, listening to love songs on the radio. Existing and not thinking too much.

Steve and Eddie getting high

Steve helping Eddie study for his finals. No, he's not as smart as Nancy Wheeler, but he tries to learn other ways for Eddie to remember what he needs to study.

Teacher Steve x Rockstar Eddie AUs are amazing. But besides the usual "I didn't know you were married to a rockstar, Mr. Harrington!" trope, I like the idea of the entire world finding out famous musician Eddie Munson bends to the will of a man who wears sweater vests to work unironically.

The fics where Steve is either a professor/teacher, a guidance counselor, or a child psychologist are all what I want in life.

Steve hanging out with Max and Dustin (specifically, but not limited to). The Party becoming overprotective of him because he's sacrificed too much for them.

STEVE AND JONATHAN FRIENDSHIP. I always see people talk about Jonathan and Eddie being weed buddies, but you guys need to see the purity of Steve and Jonathan finally being friends. I'd like to see them get over their differences and hang out unironically.

If it isn't obvious yet, I'm a sucker for any tropes that means everyone will be freaked out by Steve in any shape or form (his hobbies, his friends, etc.)

Eddie "dating" someone to make Steve jealous. (It is up to you whether or not Steve does something about it. For whump material, I like torturing myself by thinking that Steve would get jealous but doesn't do anything about it because he thinks he's not the better choice.)

FOR ANGST: any fic where Steve sacrificed too much of himself and Eddie being angry at the world yet waiting on Steve. Whether it be a coma fic or some other one where he gets a major injury, it's all good.

Time loop fics where Steve falls in love little by little but Eddie has been in love with him all throughout. Those moments where he shouldn't know that Steve is reliving the same day over and over, but with one look, Eddie can notice how different he still is despite wearing the same clothes as before.

And lastly, Steve obsessing over one specific detail about Eddie. (His lips, how he plays with his hair, his rings, maybe even something nsfw lmao, etc.) With how affectionate and clingy he really is as a boyfriend, I can only imagine he's the type of guy who latches onto one specific thing that he thinks is extremely cute (or a turn on) and can't get it out of his mind. Whenever he does something about it, Eddie is confused but lets him. It's like they have their own telepathic communication that understands what the other wants.

I'll probably add more to this list to keep track. But here's some of the things I absolutely love to see in steddie fics. Some of them are personal ideas and headcanons. I'm a sucker for self-sacrifice.

#steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #steddie fic #i will do a recs list next i swear #i think it's long overdue #what do you guys wanna see from it specifically if ever tho #either way have my fave tropes i love them sm

Addy's Bio

"Alright, let's fuckin' rumble!"

More details about Addy is under the cut

Name: Addyson "Addy" Stríodea

Age: 958

Height: 181 cm

Birthday: 24 Vierum 1064 (Laintayra)

Orientation: Transgender Bisexual Female

Pronouns: She/Her

Species: Dullahan (formerly elf)

Title: The Sixteenth Dullahan

Country of Birth: Balwirk

Likes: Freedom of expression, loud noises, fireworks

Dislikes: Silence, tradition, social expectations, milk

Hobbies: Hosting parties, hobby fireworks

Personality: Fearless, extroverted, and unafraid to say what's on her mind, she gets into trouble frequently. She's good at inspiring others and keeping morale up, but surprisingly hesitant to take on a leadership role. She actually prefers to do things by herself is possible, but that doesn't mean that she's not a team player though and if anything, she's fantastic at it

Style: Glittery singlets with translucent straps and three-quarter pants along with boots that have buckles. Also ties a long sleeved denim shirt with buttons at the sleeves in case she gets cold

Status: Alive

Abilities: Shadow manipulation, proficient with sound magic

Background: Considered the black sheep amongst her family, Addyson was left alone to her own devices as her family shunned her for not conforming to her assigned gender at birth and outspoken opinions about how Balwirk's elven society was a failure. In 1149, there were whispers of a radical group of elven researchers who sought ways to preserve life even after their heads had been severed from the neck. Addyson ignored them, chalking them up to rumours. However by Rexim 1182, the number was estimated to be around twenty thousand which did nothing to allay the worries of the remaining 60 percent of Balwirk

Addyson, fed up with the nobility's lack of action, confronted them and berated them over it. Afterwards, the Réiteode matriarch privately admitted to her that her son went missing after investigating the Soféinaiths and she sincerely hoped that Addyson could do what everyone else couldn't and put an end to the disappearances. Determined, Addyson confronted the Soféinaiths only to be knocked out. She then woke up strapped onto an experiment table with her head severed from her neck. She was facing Aileen, who quickly mouthed for use her magic to break free before she was chained up. Compiling, Addyson amplified her shout such that it stunned everyone present. Addyson managed to wriggle free from the straps and rushed to free Aileen. Afterwards, she located a room where some survivors were locked in and freed both Berine and Finbar, quickly adding that nis mother was worried about nim

Addyson then proceeded to free the survivors in another room, stunning any researchers who tried to stop her with her sound magic. Apart from Gerald, Cain and Fiona, who was in a seperate room with Dylan, the 13 of them killed the researchers and ended the experiment, afterwards they kept the notes and studied it despite their distaste towards the entire act. Aileen was able to identify the flaws in the research notes, which cultivated in the alarmingly high mortality rate. Together with Eva, Hywel as well as Ilias' existing research on arcane magic, the trio was able to create a ritual that tapped onto Ratein's ley lines which made it safer to turn someone into a dullahan. Afterwards, they destroyed the original notes such that no one could ever attempt the cruel methods used to create dullahans again

Brianna and Danielle then pointed out that the very notion of turning someone into a dullahan was unthinkable, and sought to get an unanimous consensus that under no circumstances should the 16 turn others into dullahans unless the individual in question was prepared to bear the curse of being one. Addyson agreed, not wanting the nobles to make things worse should a similar incident occur again

Addyson then spent the next few centuries working hard as an apprentice under a famous pyrotechnician, eventually going independent in Unaiem 1603 and building a reputation as a pyrotechnician that doesn't use magic for her pyrotechnics. Due to her hard work and reputation, she was finally able to afford Corportus in 1675 and transitioned to her ideal physical characteristics. In Trieme 1701, the Balwirkian War started and Addyson, not wanting to wait for the remaining nobles to take action, rallied the Balwirkians against the Unois Empire. However on 18 Rexim 1706, the empire ambushed the Balwirkians, killing a significant majority of the dullahans. This brought the war to an end and separated Balwirk into two halves, with Addyson remaining in East Balwirk to remind the empire that the half didn't necessarily bowed down to them and to never forget what Cain had done despite being a Balwirkian himself

In 1764, Addyson discovered a hidden stash of weapons in East Balwirk as well as a faded message from the Duxburys to Finbar. She decided to move the weapon stash into her residence after deciding that it was easier to blend it in with her pyrotechnics. Even so, she decided to spread the news of the weapons to the West Balwirkians as she knew that the empire's influence didn't reach them yet. Shortly afterwards, Giselle had sought her out with plans to launch a full scale rebellion against the empire, adding that she was also planning to recruit Emmet and Berine

Addyson agreed, and helped Giselle to persuade Emmet to spearhead more violent rebellions by saying that he could use his popularity for good and that Finbar had a hidden weapon stash that almost all of West Balwirk would've been aware about by now. In 1772, Emmet finally agreed and initially used his soup kitchen to accommodate the rebels, moving into the orphanage in 1838. Able to plan in a relatively safe location, the rebels were able to unite East Balwirk, Crex, Lindow and Nantrax together over the years but still weren't enough to go against the empire's military. The turning point came in Dia'ae 1863 when Noah suddenly returned to Relnivon in his true form and caused mass destruction within the country

Due to the sight of a free wyvern openly rebelling against the empire, the dragon captives followed suit, which started a domino effect that led to the Relnivians to openly rebel against the empire. West Balwirk had also seized this window of opportunity to launch another rebellion against the empire, forcing the Unois Empire to divide its resources against three fronts. In order to advance, Emmet, Giselle, and Addyson entered Relnivon to provide the Relnivians with support, which meant working alongside Noah

However, Giselle's death had an impact on Emmet and Berine, something which the latter would insist that it didn't. Addyson could only watch as Emmet made things worse for Berine when he told her something that she couldn't make out but was sure it was about the Balwirkian War. Not wanting the rebels to lose momentum, she rallied the rebels together and informed that with the other countries' assistance, the Unois Empire was sure to fall soon. Addyson was relieved when Emmet and Berine actively participated in the rebellion, though she couldn't help but worry about both of their mental states

On 4 Primna 1865, he and Addyson had managed to corner Cain, who was prepared to kill them both at the cost of his own life. Despite their best efforts, Cain proved to be a competent fighter despite his inability to use magic. Emmet, who wanted to capture Cain alive so that he could face his misdeeds, attempted to freeze him so that he could be brought back to Balwirk. However, in the midst of freezing Cain, the latter had detonated a bomb that would kill everyone within range. Realising that Cain had never planned to leave the war alive, he decided to freeze himself along with the Eighth Dullahan in an ice prison in hopes of containing the explosion. This saved Addyson, but she had to watch the First Dullahan explode along with the Eighth Dullahan

She as well as some of the surviving Balwirkians brought their fellow Balwirkians' bodies to Aocite Cemetery along with Cain's. Hugh planned on burying Cain in the cemetery, but Addyson, who was still enraged over Cain's betrayal as well as the reason why Emmet died, intervened and bitterly reminded him that Cain was the reason why so many of their friends died, imploring him to let his body rot elsewhere. Addyson was then approached to lead Balwirk for rallying the rebels together at crucial moments, but she turned them down as not only did she feel that she would make a terrible leader for the country, she wanted to be as far away from Balwirk as much as possible to distance herself from memories of the war

With her decision made, she decided to travel across Ratein and occasionally came across Danielle during her travels. Currently, she earns money both as a pyrotechnician and as one of the usual winners in the annual Ratein Combat Championship... all while avoiding Balwirk as much as she can

[blazekurumu]

This may be an unpopular opinion about Miraculous Ladybug.

I think one of the central themes of Miraculous is emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence is the basic understanding of how we view and handle our emotions. Whether they be good or bad, we all have to process how we feel in every moment. Through the acknowledgement of our emotional state, we can better ourselves and mature into a healthier state.

Does this mean that negative emotions are bad? Of course, but we need these emotions in order to learn and develop.

I see the usage of akumazations as a reflection of how people act and function in the real world. When one doesn't allow themselves to feel those negative emotions, they overwhelm them and overtake their reasoning centers. In a way, we become easier to control or become uncontrollable monsters.

Maturity happens when you realize that you have those negative feelings and turn them around for good. Take Kagami for example. When we first meet her, she's stubborn, driven by anger, and determined to win no matter what. As she progressed as a character, that stubborn nature was used more to protect her friends and assert herself. That anger that one akumatized her was now the driving force to save those who too was akumatized. That determination to win was changed into determination to pursue relationships with friends and, to a lesser extent, maintain one with Adrien.

The show is about teenagers, so don't expect them to be mature at this age. The frontal lobe, which dictates logic, reasoning, and emotions, hasn't fully developed yet. Everyone has to understand that Marinette, Adrien, and their peers haven't fully grasped their fluxating emotions yet. They are still learning discernment, how to communicate their feelings, and thinking before they act.

Marinette doesn't learn from her mistakes? That's not true. Marinette does learn from her failures because she's allowed to. Most of her mistakes weren't meant to be bashed, but to teach us how to behave. Sure, we may not have taken a friend's phone or snuck into their house, but some of you did far worst than that at her age. The mercy your parents, peers, or other important figures in your life showed you when you messed up is the same way you should treat her mistakes.

Adrien should be mean to Marinette or shun her? But why? The boy yearns for emotional connections and Marinette is one of the healthier ones in his life outside of Nino. Adrien is learning how to express himself, assert his feelings, and conveying his thoughts far more now than when we first saw him. I think Marinette being a positive influence in his life helped him to mature a bit as well.

Ultimately, no matter how we see it, the real people getting mad at Marinette and Adrien are those whose emotional intelligence aren't the highest. Those who haven't matured past their high school stage in life and trying to justify their reasons for hating a character that is a reflection of their own. Maybe we all need to improve our emotions and learn how to show mercy and forgiveness to those still developing.

After all, we wouldn't want to become slaves to our own emotions.

First Impressions (Adrian Chase x witch reader)

Request: so excited about the new witch series! could you possibly do an adrian chase x witch!reader in which adrian introduces her to the team? there's a catch tho, the team doesn't open up to her right away, practically testing her considering her abilities and who she is. (adebayo seems to be the only one who really gives her a chance). adrian notices and does something about it.pls? thank u!

I’m so excited about this one shot series!! Just like the Black Widow series these all can be read on their own.

Witch reader masterlist

Warning: cursing, minor angst, violence, mentions of sex, and self doubts

Since dating Adrian, thing had finally started to look up for you. You loved him. You spent any time you could with him, when he wasn’t being Vigilante. You knew about the task force and fully supported Adrian even offering to help if he ever needed it, but in all honesty..You were nervous to meet his friends. 

People weren’t really your cup of tea. You had been shunned most of your life by everyone because of the fact that you were a witch. People hated you because of this. 

You’d been threatened and the book shop you owned has been vandalized occasionally. The rumors of you and your family spread all over town, so meeting Adrian’s friends was terrifying to you.

He says he doesn’t care about their opinion, but you knew he did. These are his work colleagues. He fights beside them and trust them with his life. You knew Adrian didn’t have many friends and that this group meant the world to him. You wanted them to like you. That lead to today.

You sighed grabbing your step stool to stack the books on the highest shelf. You’d just gotten a new shipment. Looking up hearing the bell ring, you smiled seeing Adrian. “Hey!” Adrian grinned walking to you. “What are you doing here? I thought we were hanging out tonight-” “I want you to meet my best friends.”

You dropped the book you were holding. He picked up the book for you handing it to you. “Oh..are you sure?” Adrian nodded helping you off the step stool. “So will you?” He grinned at you. “Um..I guess..” Adrian cheered a bit. 

“Oh you’re gonna love them and they’re gonna love you. I told them how my girlfriend is this hot badass! They don’t think you exist, but now they will.” Adrian gave you a kiss. “I’ll pick you up at eight!”

“Wait this is happening tonight?!” “Yup see you soon love you!!” “Love you too..” You mumbled out in shock. “Fuck..” You cursed. What the hell did you just agree too?..

You stood in front of you mirror. Does this look nice enough? You don’t look intimidating right? “Wow you look hot..” You turned seeing Adrian. “How did you get in-” “You left the door downstairs in the shop unlocked. You really need to remember to lock it. You live right upstairs what if I had been a thief or a creep.” 

“I mean no one really wants to rob me just kill me.” “That does not make me feel better.” You chuckled a bit as Adrian shook his head. “Alright you ready?” You nodded. “I think..” “Okay you don’t worry! You guys are gonna get along so great!” You smiled a bit as he dragged you off to his car. 

“Wait let me lock up!” Adrian nodded waiting for you. “Okay let’s go.” You sat in the car nervously. Were you ready for this? You sat there tensed before relaxing feeling Adrian’s hand on your thigh. He hummed a small tune smiling excitedly. You couldn’t ruin this for him. He’s been wanting this for so long.

You walked into the bar fiddling with your hands trying not to show your nerves. Maybe you should cast a relaxing spell on yourself. No it’s too late they’re waving you both over. Adrian held your hand dragging you to the table.

“Sup!” He sat pulled you close to him. “Hey dude.” John called out. They all looked shock seeing you. “This is Y/N!” Chris smiled a bit. “So this is the town witch.” You took a small step back scared. “Witch?” Emilia looked at him. Chris nodded. “Yeah it’s stupid rumors.” You waved your hand. “Nice to meet you all. Adrian talks about you guys a lot.” Adebayo shot you a smile.

“Nice to meet you Y/N come on sit.” You smiled sitting down. Adrian kissed your cheek. “I’m gonna get us some drinks.” You nodded as he walked off. “So witch..” You looked to Emilia who spoke. “What do you do?” “Oh I own a book shop not far from here.” John nodded. “Cool.” 

“Thanks..” “Do you sell spell books?” Chris laughed a bit. “No I don’t. I have all types of books though if any of you would like to come by.” “No thanks.” Emilia shot you a tight smile. You looked down. Adebayo glared at all of them. Chris laughed a bit as John looked away. 

“So how did you and Adrian meet?” She asked you with a small smile. “Oh he stopped by my shop at some point and helped me clean my window-” “Clean your window?” John asked you confused. “Yeah it was vandalized, but from there we just kinda grew.” “Maybe it’s a good thing your window was vandalized then.” Chris spoke up taking a drink. You nodded. 

“I guess..” Emilia staring was making you uncomfortable. John looked like he was dreading sitting here with you and Chris looked awkward. He didn’t know what to say to you. Adebayo seemed like the nicest one. Well from what you could tell. Where the hell is Adrian?

“So witch.” Emilia smiled at you, “Why does the town seemed scared of you? Since you sat down there’s been people who keep looking this way.” You sighed. “It’s because of the rumor that I am a witch..” “Well are you?” You chuckled under your breath. “I neither confirm nor deny.” She nodded.

“Dude that’s dumb. If you’re not just say you aren’t so people can leave you alone.” John butted in before looking away again. He seemed annoyed with you. “Yeah I agree. You’re just being dumb for no reason.” Chris agreed with him. “So are you or aren’t you?” You shook a bit growing overwhelmed. 

“You guys leave it alone. Why does it matter if she’s a witch or not?” Adebayo butted in. Emilia shrugged. “What is she casted a spell to make Adrian fall in love with her?” Chris joked. You bit your lip trying to keep yourself together. Adebayo noticed. “She wouldn’t do that even if she was an actual witch.” 

“Well we don’t really know her do we Adebayo?” Emilia chimed in taking a drink of her beer. “I just wanna know if it’s true or not because I wanna know why the town seems scared of her.” Chris laughed. 

“I doubt it. Aren’t witches supposed to have brooms and voodoo shit?” “Did you really just describe the stereotypical witch?” Adebayo gave him a small look as you took a deep breath. “Hey sorry that took a while. That was a long ride.” “It’s okay..” You mumbled out to him. He gave you a smile. “So what did I miss?” “You missed nothing.” You chimed in.

You didn’t want to ruin this for him.

“Good. So did Y/N tell you about her cool bookshop-” “Dude is your girlfriend a witch?” Chris asked him. “Why does it matter if she is?” Adrian looked confused. “We were asking her, but she kept avoiding it. Plus the people in the bar keep looking at her.” John sighed. Adrian shrugged. “Would guys be bothered if she is?” You smiled a bit at his words. 

“She seems a bit sketchy is all. She’s hiding something.” Emilia finished her drink staring at you. John sighed. Adebayo shook her head, “Guys leave it alone we should all try to have a nice time.”

 You sat there just wanting the ground to swallow you up. “I mean if she was do you even really like her Adrian or was it a spell-” You slammed your fist on the table cutting Chris off. “I need to go. Lovely meeting all of you. Adrian I’ll see you when I see you.”

Adrian tried to reach for your hand, but you pushed it away grabbing your bag storming off. Everyone looked up seeing the lights flicker. “Oh shit.” Chris laughed a bit. John smiled a bit. “Maybe she is-” “What the fuck is wrong with all of you?” They looked at Adrian surprised to see him grow angry.

You sighed tearing up a bit on the walk home. Making it your shop and home. You unlocked the door closing it before locking up. You didn’t want anyone to come in not even Adrian, so as much as it hurt you casted a spell for no one to bother you. The way people thought of you never bothered you, but these were people the person you loved the most cared about.

So this hurt like a bitch. You hadn’t felt this embarrassed since the time a boy had asked you out just to have all his friends egg you when you showed up. They made you run home calling you a witch the entire time you ran.

You laid in bed letting yourself cry for a bit before falling asleep.

The next morning, you awoke dreading getting up to open your shop. You fell asleep in the clothes you wore the night before. One day without opening wouldn’t hurt your business right? No it would. 

Sighing you showered quickly before heading downstairs for the day. Flipping your sign to open you removed the spell from the night before. The only nice one from the night was Adebayo. Maybe she’d tell Adrian that it wasn’t your fault..Fuck what if he broke up with you?

You jumped hearing a bell chime. Speak of the devil, it was Adebayo. “Wow your shop is so nice...” You looked at her in surprise. You nodded. “Uh thanks..what are you doing here?” “You said to check out your shop when we got a chance.” 

“Oh...um go ahead and look around if you’d like I also sell tea.” She shook her head. “i’m okay. Actually I wanted to talk to you.” “You did?” She nodded. “I did. I wanted to apologize for our behavior last night-” “it’s okay-” “No it was not. You gotta understand something Harcort takes a while to warm up to people. Chris is just an ass in general and John senses when it’s tense so it makes him tense too.” 

You sighed looking down, “Plus I’m pretty sure they all will be coming in here to apologize.” You looked at her confused. “What makes you say that?” Adebayo laughed a bit. “None of us knew he had it in him, but Adrian ripped them all an new one last night.” “He did?..” 

She nodded. “If you stuck around you would’ve heard it. He said...”

“What the fuck is wrong with you guys.” Chris looked at him in confusion. “Dude what’s wrong?” 

“I was so fucking excited to prove to all of you that she was real and for you guys to all get along. What you guys can’t be nice for one night? I expected this from Harcourt. But not from all of you. Especially you, Chris. You’re my fucking best friend and you couldn’t even fucking treat my girlfriend with the respect she fucking deserves. None of you even fucking gave her a chance except Adebayo from what I’m seeing.” 

“Adrian-” Emilia sighed speaking up. “Save it. I’m out of here too.” Adrian stormed out immediately going to your shop. He sighed seeing it locked knowing he was gonna have to wait till tomorrow. You were ignoring all of his calls and texts.

“He really said all of that..” Adebayo nodded. “He didn’t talk to any of us when he came in today for our debriefing..Called them all backstabbers and not true BFF’s.” She chuckled as you smiled a bit. “He’s really worried for you by the way complained the entire time how you were ignoring his calls.” 

“Oh shit! My phone died on my walk home!” Adebayo sighed. “Give him a call okay?” You nodded. “Will do.” You both looked up hearing the bell chime again. It was Chris this time. “Wow Adebayo had to take my idea to apologize to her.” 

“Shut the fuck up dude.I was the one who said you guys should all stop by to apologize.” Chris scoffed. “Yeah you sure it wasn’t me who said that?” You looked away as he looked at you.

“Look I am here to apologize. I shouldn’t have said some of those things about you. Adrian really loves you. Blah blah!..” “I didn’t cast a love spell on him...” “What?” Chris asked in confusion.

“Last night you said I casted a love spell on him, but I would never do that. To anyone for that matter..Especially not Adrian..” Chris sighed. “I know. I can be an asshole at times. I was just joking, but I realize now that was not okay to joke about.” “Are you apologizing cause you want too or because Adrian is forcing you too?” 

“I wanted too and it did kinda help that Adrian threatened to no longer give me rides when I’m drunk.” You laughed. “Okay...you guys head out now.” Adebayo nodded as Chris picked up a book. “I’ll pay for this later-” You used your magic bringing the book to you. “You’ll pay for it now.” Adebayo and Chris looked in shock. “You’re a witch..” 

“I never denied it..I just didn’t appreciate you guys making me seem like a bitch. Now are you paying for the book or not?” Chris nodded immediately pulling his wallet out. “Here you go.” You smiled handing him his change. 

“If you see Adrian tell him-” The door chimed again this time Emilia walked in. “Crap what the fuck are two doing here?” Chris smirked. 

“Same reason as you.” John trailed in behind her holding a small box. “So we’re all here to own up to our mistakes nice.” He approached you handing you the box. “Adrian said you liked chocolate so..” “Thank you John..” 

Emilia sighed, “I don’t trust people I know are hiding something.” You smiled handing her a chocolate with your magic. She looked down in shock. “I didn’t appreciate the rude interrogation, but if this makes you feel better.” 

“Woah..” John muttered out. “Look I guess we’re all here because we owe you an apology and some other day if you’d be willing maybe we could all hang out without being jerks to you.” You smiled nodding.

“Sure..” Emilia nodded. “Please tell Chase we apologized. I can’t stand his moping.” You laughed nodding. Right as they decided to leave, Adrian walked in. “Oh thank god I can finally come in.” You smiled at him as he looked confused. “What are you guys doing here?” He looked at you.

 “They didn’t tell you anything did they-” “No they did not. They actually apologized.” Adrian grinned hearing you. “Good as you all should now get out of her shop unless you’re buying something.” They nodded walking out. He approached you. “You locked your door last night..” “Isn’t that what you wanted me to do?..” 

“It is. I mean I want you to be safe and all, but you scared me. Did you keep me out last night?” You nodded. “I thought your friends were gonna convince you to leave me so I wanted to avoid you.” Adrian sighed shaking his head. “You know I wouldn’t do that right?” You looked away deciding to go make yourself tea. Adrian grabbed you pulling you back.

“No I would never fucking leave you. Dude I don’t know if you noticed, but like I love you.” You chuckled a bit. “I love you too. I’m sorry I overreacted last night-” “You didn’t. You’re always reassuring me that I don’t overreact so this is me telling you.” You smiled as he kissed you.

 “Come on close for the day..” ‘I just opened Adrian.” “Please..” You sighed using your magic to lock the door and flip the sign. Adrian grinned. “By the way, your friends know I’m a witch. I trust you’ll make sure they keep it a secret.”Adrian laughed. “Trust me they will. They’re pretty good people.” You nodded. “Yeah they are...”

“Now that they know you’re a witch though. We’re probably gonna reach out if we ever need help.” You nodded. “I can’t wait for it.” You smiled hauling him upstairs with you for some fun..

sure abuse ain't lovely, everyone knows that, but tf is the reason for anyone write shit like that?? i don't mean this in any way to downplay the experiences of abuse victims or nothing, but why spread the shit? i bet it makes ppl feel terrible (as it should, no sane person would be like oh i like this) so just why to do that? can you actually answer that? like i'm genuinely asking

Just because you don't vibe with something, doesn't mean that's the universal opinion. I've had many people tell me that they appreciate my writing, and the topics I cover within. Art isn't universally meant to make you feel good. The point is that you feel uncomfortable, or bad. You can still like and enjoy something that makes you feel bad or uncomfortable, that's why horror movies exist. You don't have to like it, by all means don't read it if it's not to your taste, but don't you dare speak for other people.

Asking why someone would write about a topic like abuse is like asking why a survivor would ever want to talk about what happened to them. Abuse happens, it's the reality for a lot of people, and it shouldn't be shunned and locked away in a dark room because it makes people uncomfortable to hear about. It was twice as uncomfortable for the survivor to experience than it is for you to hear about it.

Some people write to cope, some people read to cope, and some people just like to explore dark topics from the safety of fiction. I don't need to have a reason, because there doesn't need to be a reason. And you don't have a right to know any reasons that I do have. If you don't want to read about abuse, then simply don't read about abuse. It really is that simple.

#I am a survivor #I am *very* open about this #so don't you fucking *dare* try to tell me or *anyone* else what they are and are not allowed to talk/write about #sometimes being uncomfortable is the *point*! #don't like it? don't fucking read it! #but no one should have to censor themselves for your fucking comfort #when you could *easily* fucking block or mute the things you don't want to see #tw: abuse mention

its impossible to talk about being a survivor of incest with anyone except other survivors of it and by that i mean youll still find lots of people among them with 0 compassion who project their internalized victim-blaming and self-loathing onto others as a coping mechanism. its impossible to have any kind of constructive discourse about it openly because everyones so focused on loudly projecting their personal opinion on What Should Be Done and how disgusted they are and whatever cospiracy theory is trending this time. everyone wants to punish offenders and no one wants to listen to survivors, because its easier to sound like a tough guy being Hard On The Bad People than it is to show empathy and listen even if its difficult and contradicts what youve been made to believe. the preferable state of things for the general public is Never Talk About It. shooting squad for the messenger. to say that the legal system is no help is such an understatement, most of us dont even begin to think about bringing it into the situation in the first place. we're too busy surviving and being so fucking alone and made to feel absolutely crazy 24/7 and understanding that if you even try to open up a little too much youll be shunned by people you thought you could trust. in the end youre just left apologizing to people for being such a bummer all the time. or you try not to be and you feel like a wild animal performing for an audience that would have you put down if you stopped being entertaining. everyone and their mother seems to have an opinion on what youve been through and topics related to it like its a pineapple on pizza type debate. like they dont have to know anything, like theres nothing to know. to them its so simple: some people are bad and do bad things and what matters is punishing those bad people and what also matters is their potential future victims we have successfully protected by doing so. it doesnt matter that most of those bad people are made up, and the real specific ones that are brought up dont even constitute 1% of the actual offenders. and what especially doesn't matter is the existing victims. especially the adult victims. the adult victims who cant get a job, who are unstable, who dont even know how to talk about their experiences, who aren't able to just valiantly hide everything and then go to therapy once a week and cry their eyes out. the adult victims who want to talk about their experiences but no one wants them to. the adult victims you cant hold and pity and lament how small and defenseless they are, because to see the smallness and defenselessness youd have to look past the grown adult in front of you and this just doesnt have the pathos. this is just a pathetic weirdo who needs to grow up. a pathetic weirdo whos so joyless and potentially dangerous for being critical of the construct of The Family, who just wants to be miserable, who has ideas and thought processes and experiences no one wants to hear about. whos probably making it all up anyway. i mean they didn't talk about it for so long. they spent painful decades sleepwalking through life and pushing everything into a small dusty corner of their mind and cut themselves into smaller pieces every day all so they could avoid ruining everyones fun, everyones family photos, everyones memories, everyones day, everyones mood. they made it up for attention.

I get how it's uncomfortable for you for people to ship the skelebros. But it doesn't mean you should shun everyone with those preferences. Yes, it probably feels wrong for you to support them, but alienating people for expressing their own opinions is also wrong. I'm neither supporting nor denying those who do, but i'm just trying to gently point out the fact that there is a better way to say you don't like fontcest than to blatantly tell people to stop following you for openly enjoying ideas. They don't necessarily enjoy those thoughts in rl, so it's not like it's a big deal. They're just characters in a story, after all, and much less important than the friendships you can make in real life. People expressing ideas they enjoy isn't bad; it's how we get great artists like Van Gough or Leonardo DaVinci. Their ideas and creativity were shunned in their time, mocked, but now their work is beloved by all.

You may dislike certain ideas, and that's fine. But don't make others feel bad for enjoying the same ideas you hate; just say you would prefer not to talk about it, and move on.

It's like the game Undertale tries to portray; fighting and spreading hatred can only bring emptiness and pain. Spreading love and showing mercy is far more fulfilling.

not reading all that + kill yourself and anyone else who agrees with anon can also die about it. thanks!

Hello there, I wanted to ask about your opinion since I respect you a lot and I think your incredibly reasonable...

I’ve been felling sad and conflicted the past 24 hours cuz I haven’t felt safe in the fandom to voice my opinions. I’ve been seeing lots of people criticizing others for not liking ptd calling them fake fans and the reasons for their dislike unreasonable. I don’t think that’s right. I’ve had someone say to my face I’m a fake fan and surely a don’t love them enough just because I had negative thoughts on this one song. I think being a fan is not idolizing(the irony😂) your idols in a way that you praise and “love” everything they put out, that is not realistic at all. It’s hard because I’ve been feeling slightly guilty for not liking the song and having thoughts about it, god forbid I voice them on any way, shape or form cuz that’s “crushing the fun” and being hateful. So here is my truth (anonymously, it has been long 24 hours I’m coward sue me) : I didn’t like the song. For several reasons. Some of the factors that made me dislike it was : I didn’t like the production in this song at all, I didn’t like the fact that rapline sang(not because I didn’t want them to sing in a song, but because considering since dynamite, we’ve been having very vocal line heavy singles, I REALLY miss rap line), and I hated the heavy hand in voice distortion, it was too much for me. This doesn’t mean I don’t love them enough or want to “be negative”. Besides, why come talk down on people who disliked the song when you could be enjoying it with people that did, when I put my opinion in here is to express myself and be relatable and relate to people who feel the same in different aspects, not to devalue other people’s feelings and thoughts because they are different then mine. I would never judge anyone for liking the song and enjoying this comeback (which just because I didn’t like the song doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying the comeback, I’m namjoon biased, believe me I’m THRIVING) I’ve just been feeling like we can’t say anything anymore in this fandom without “destroying positivity”, “offending people” or being “hateful towards the boys”. By all means, there are terrible people that do this but shunning everybody for voicing their “negative” feelings is bs. No relationship is perfect(including between fan+artist) and tastes are different. Listen, I may have lost my way in the word vomit, but my question is: am I being unreasonable? Should I feel guilty for not loving the song that’s suppose to bring joy to dark times? Does me talking about this stop people from enjoying the song? Gosh I get so dramatic late at night... what are your thoughts on this ? Thanks for your time anyway, have a lovely comeback.

No.

No.

No.

Those are my answers to your questions at the end of your ask.

You're not being unreasonable, you're being human. Nobody has to like everything their favorite artist releases. You don't have to like PTD, if it doesn't fit your tastes or if you don't like it for the reasons you mentioned above that doesn't make you a bad fan, an anti or anything like that. It makes you a person who knows what you like and what you don't like, who has preferences and that's it.

Being a fan of an artist is not blindly believing in everything they do or say or release, it's not spending your money or time because it's an "obligation", that's not how it works.

The reasons why you don't like a song or a video are yours and as long as those reasons are respectable everyone should respect them.

I've been saying that all day. Not liking something is fine, constructive criticism is fine but what you should always be is RESPECTFUL. Tastes are subjective. You don't like it but someone else does, the artists did like it and that's why they released the song and that should be respected.

But what many of us have seen or read today is not that. There are people criticising the Korean identity of these seven men, accusing them of basically abandoning who they are as artists in order to get their songs play on the radio. Accusing them of I don't know what else about Kpop. That's what a lot of people and I disagree with. And what's even more annoying is that it's white people making those kinds of accusations. It's non-Korean people making those kinds of accusations. That's not right.

Don't feel guilty because you don't like the song anon, that doesn't mean you're not a good ARMY, it just means you're a human being.

On Pisces Aphrodite:

Originally I was just going to make a post saying that, much like Deathmask, I consider the way Aphrodite is portrayed in Saintia Sho is the best (Chimaki Kuori really did a great job with the golds), but then I remembered I wanted to make a post dedicated to the most beautiful saint in Athena's army...so here we are now

One of the biggest problems with Aphrodite is not the character himself, but how he is one of those character whose interpretation and general characteristics about his personality recognizable among fans, are mostly fan made. And it bothers me a little because, though I don't mind comedic takes and memes on a show or a character (actually you may have realize I don't like taking things seriously now and then), there will be a momemt when we wouldn't remember who the character really is.

(I should mention that I mostly blame the Abel movie for solidifying the idea of an overly vain Aphrodite. I don't particularly like how he is pictured there...but that didn't stopped from making a meme...because it was funny)

So who is Aphrodite then?

Let's begin with his personality.

He is a very calmed person. In contrast to Deathmask, who he is normally associated with, he doesn't have aggressive outbursts of laughter or yelling. Not that he can't lose is temper or anything like that, but he seems to be among the calmest saint among the 12. He also doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve as visible as some of his companions. But this doesn't mean he holds back his opinion or that he cannot be cruel. This may be an stretch but he did told Shun that Seiya was going to die right before reminding him he was supposed to be looking for revenge (whatever it was done in a mocking way or not is up to debate)

This could be with the intention of shaking his opponent core and ability to focus. Though he would be able to stop Shun if he had tried to run and help Seiya, it would be easier to defeat an oponent who is emotionally invested (in theory, look at tbe battle between Deathmask and Shiryu to see how emotion can turn a fight around).

Aphrodite is proud and considers himself above other in terms of power and hability, but this isn't a feature exclusive to him. All gold saints KNOW they are on a different league, and Aphrodite is not someone who is constantly pointing it out... that would be Shaka...for example.

The way Aphrodite does patronize Shun is by calling him "child" or "naive" (which he arguably is). Not by being particularly self absorbed.

Now let's talk about his philosophy.

Aphrodite believes that the strong carry justice. He thinks that if someone is strong and powerful enough to vanquish their enemies, then they would be strong enough to look after others

His perception of the world is not black and white. He understands that in order to accomplish peace and prosperity, sacrifices need to be made. Justice may sometimes seem as cruelty in the eyes of those who don't know how complicated the world could be. He didn't became a traitor because he was evil, he saw how small and fragile Athena was and eventually realized she wouldn't be enough. We may understand this better if we consider that even by the time Saga's rebellion happened the santuary was already getting ready for the holy war, they didn't know if it would come the very next day, or 13 years later, but they had to be ready anyway.

It was maybe there where Aphrodite realized that a baby couldn't do much, and after Aioros and Athena supossed death happened, he convinced himself it was for the best.

Saori's more passive take and overly kind attitude may would clash with him and his views of justice, but he would had follow her anyway. After all he has been shown being very respectful to authority.

Fighting style

By the way he fights,we can tell he falls more into the "silent assassin" type.

His attacks are discrete, fast, lethal, and elegant. As far as I know, roses were (goddess) Aphrodite's flower, and the pisces constellation is directed tied to her for it tells the story of when she and Eros transformed into fish. Given the origin of his constellation, and the deity he's tied to, it makes sense beauty would be found not only on his face, but on his fights as well.

Saga even acknowledged him as lethal.

Yes, he doesn't like losing (but who does, really?)

During his fight with Shun we see Aphrodite go from calmed and even patient, to confused and surprised.

When he had the higher ground, he even advice Shun let things be

It seems like he acknowledged Shun lack of experience in real war, it can also be that he didn't consider him a dangerous enemy, after all, he was just a mere bronze saint. The panel above shows Aphrodite trying to spare Shun from further suffering. Little he knew Shun's cosmo is unexplainable strong

Later, he got desperate. He used an attack he never needed before, but it was too late. Shun's strength along with Athena's blessing, signed Aphrodite demise

(Before going to the next point, I have to say that in the manga version of Hades saga, he didn't beg for his life like he did in the anime. He just watched in silence until the very last moment, when he asked Radamanthis to stop)

His views on beauty

Honestly, I don't know what he thinks about his own looks... he never speaks about it.

So, please repeat after me:

APHRODITE DOES NOT PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO HIS OWN LOOKS

Whenever his looks are brought up is by someone else. He doesn't really seems to pay much attention to them. The only instance I can remember he addressing the issue was not in the manga or anime but in the awakening game which so far had kept them all in character

"Since I first arrived here, everyone praised my beauty, but they never acknowledged my strength".

So, it's the Saintia Sho take really that good?

I humbly think it is perfect

Masquerade [IkeRev]

Pairing: Ray Blackwell x Alice

Fandom: Ikemen Revolution

Notes: really trashy writing oof

Pshh dont act so suprised its another ray thing

Alice hated masquerade balls.

She hated them with a passion. There was just something irritating about them... how those disgustings pigs, commonly referred to as men, often tried to lure her into bed; or how, every time she talked to women, their conversations would almost always end up in gossips about her family's riches that were acquired with bloody hands, and how they killed countless people under a single man's orders, not knowing the person they were talking to about it is part of said family. Yet despite her loathing for occasions like these, Alice would still have to attend, for it was the only way she could fraternize with others. Her family was shunned by society for being such a hideous and brutal one. But here, in masquerade balls, she can wear a mask and pretend to be someone else and mingle to her heart's content. Nobody would know it was a girl from a bloody household.

Once or twice, Alice had danced with a few nobilities she considered decent enough for her. Those who weren't pedophiles, she conversed with. Those who were purely sober, she'd bonded with. But it was way past midnight now and she had gotten bored of the ball. A woman can only take so much soulless dancing and meaningless political talks. Not to mention the rough mask that hid her face from bashers, was starting to irritate her sensitive porcelain skin.

With a forced smile, the young descendant of the country's most infamous household excused herself from the festivities and went to the garden. Truly, it was a beautiful garden. The flowers were in full bloom and the breeze was refreshing. Alice stretched, in a way that was very undignified. Yet she couldn't care less. Her muscles were sore from keeping up a flawlessly upright posture all this time, and she was bored beyond measure.

The itch on her face that was long there reached its peak, and Alice couldn't take it anymore. She moved to dispose her mask until a voice warned her, "It's rude to take off your mask in a ball like this."

It was a man's voice, smooth like the waves and light as the garden's breeze. Undoubtedly, it had belonged to a young man... a cool young man. But Alice despised people who dared talk to her so fondly. She swirled around to reprimand whoever it had been.

"I don't recall holding responsibility to oblige," she retorted, her prissy tone leaking with every syllable. One corner of the man's lips slowly curled upwards in an amused smirk.

"Then by all means, go embarrass yourself."

Alice scoffed with irritation. Who does this man think he is? Yes, it's true that taking off your mask is a big no in a masquerade ball, but--

Oh.

She suddenly felt like smacking her forehead. If she takes the accessory off, she's to reveal her identity. And no doubt receive countless ridicules. And Alice didn't want that, especially from a man like him. Her cheeks flushed in realization. Suddenly the girl wanted to keep it on and couldn't feel the itch anymore.

"You're from the infamous Bright household, aren't you? Alice Bright, if I'm correct; twin sister of Edgar Bright, the Jack of Hearts and known as the Gentle Demon." surprise mf

Alice took her time studying the man. How had he known about her? What gave it away? What had she done to inform him of her identity? Most of all, who is this bastard? He was handsome, without a doubt, even with a mask on; black hair and intense emerald eyes, containing a youthful aura, but at the same time holding himself with such composed regality. His body was carved to perfection. He wore a simple yet dazzling dark sapphire mask with round diamonds literring it, the suit on his body looking ridiculously expensive.

Dark and regal... only one name clicked in the girl's head: the popular and widely loved King of Spades.

"I take it you're King Ray Blackwell...?"

The man rolled his eyes distastefully at the attached title. But he made no move to deny his identity, something that's against tradition. 'How hypocritical,' Alice thought dryly.

"Forget the King part, it's too preppy for my tastes," he said. "Just Ray is fine."

Alice rose a thin eyebrow. For a king, Ray Blackwell was too casual. She's always depicted him as cold and dignified, with no intention of fooling around; just like the opposing King of Hearts. Yet here he was: the Black King himself who didn't give a horse's muck whether people found out about his identity or not, speaking informally as if he'd known Alice all their lives.

'Charming-- I mean, preposterous! Ghastly!'

Well... what can she say? It's her first time meeting a man like Ray; someone true to himself and didn't stumble foolishly in a vain attempt of becoming the perfect gentleman.

But no. In the Bright household, emotions were a mortal sin. It was the biggest crime. And Alice grew up all her life believing it.

Naturally, she ignored her fluttering heart.

"So," Alice walked around the garden with Ray. She hadn't even noticed how her irritation with him had suddenly faded after witnessing his genuine personality. "The King of Spades is a fan of balls, then?"

Ray snorted. "Heck no. What makes you think that just because I attend 'em, I like 'em? Isn't everyone only here for the sake of making connections?"

"Probably." Alice would be damned if she voiced her agreement. "And does that rule apply to you as well, sire?"

Ray gave the girl a disgusted look. She only blinked, urging him to voice out what took him aback.

"Okay. One, it doesn't. I'm just here to let loose for a bit. Second... Cut that formality out! It's creepy." "Why so? Do your soldiers not address you that way?"

Ray's green orbs took on a fond light, giving Alice the answer right away, as if his memories of his subordinates were all warm and cozy. One could tell he was a good leader and a true king by just a glance of that. And maybe, she thought, he was a brother, too; a brother to the rest of his army. Alice wondered how they treated each other... did they eat at the same table? Did they disregard ranks and fraternized comfortably? Was it like a home in the Black Army's headquarters?

"They address me as a king during official business, yes," he replied. "But we're just ourselves around one another for most of the time. Parties every week or so, lots of laughter and pranks... it's like a brotherhood."

The faintest trace of a smile ghosted the girl's lips. "It sounds lovely."

From there, it went on and on. Ray asked Alice what was her favorite animal, to which she replied cats for they were elegant and had the cutest little mewls; and much to her surprise, Ray shared her thoughts. She, in return, asked him what he thought about table etiquette, and he laughed at just how preppy Alice was being. Nevertheless, he answered her, saying "I think dining fancily's fine if serious stuff are going on, like funerals or oathtakings. It's a way of showing respect. But people shouldn't be judged by how they act at the table. In fact, class shouldn't even be a social judgement or something. 'Course, this is just my opinion. And I think table manners should be kept to a minimum. People deserve to enjoy their food and time without fear of being critiqued of how classy or polite they are. They should be able to be just themselves in a table, because after all, that honesty's bound to form really tight relationships real quick, no?"

A bit more of talking and before she even knew it, it had been past 3AM now. Alice never thought it would be so fun to converse with the king. He was honest and frank, yet still respectful and even funny. They shared a lot of opinions about several topics, and one's answer changed the perspective of the other. The Bright lady wished to the twinkling stars high above she'd get another chance at talking with Ray in the future.

Now, Alice knew she shouldn't be rooting for the opposition. Her household is a Red through and through. In fact, her brother's the Jack of Hearts himself! At the back of her head, the ever-obedient little prodigy of the Bright family screamed at her to get away and cut off all connections with Blackwell. 'What do you think you're doing?!' a part of her screeched.

But right now, she wasn't really a Bright. She was just Alice. Little ol' Alice, who came to a masquerade ball in hopes of being able to talk to whoever she wants without her status bothering her. And she wasn't ready to throw that away just yet, and return to her uptight lifestyle.

'Just not yet, please,' she pleaded with her own self.

Suddenly, a slow, hopeful, smooth tune took on. It was faint and distant, coming from the ballroom many yards away. Yet she and Ray both heard it, the melody carried by the wind to their ears, and Ray took the cue.

"May I have this dance, Alice?" He asked her, the gentlest, most handsome smile on his lips, offering her his hand, and the girl's heart skipped a beat.

Had it been any other man; a pretentious, try-hard fake gentleman or a drunk bastard, she would've slapped. But no... not this one. He was a bastard, yes, the feisty part of her claimed, but he was a good bastard. A modest, decent, alright bastard.

Alice let her face be lit up by a grin. It had been her first in so long. She placed her hand on top Ray's and they both started dancing to the slow, almost-romantic music, everything else fading and all they could feel was this blossoming warmth in their souls.

And long after the song was over, and all was said and done, they still remained in one another's embrace. Red and Black forgetting their blazing feud for even just a moment; even in just a masquerade ball. They're just Alice and Ray, each silently praying dawn never comes and they'd never have to say theeir goodbyes.

Alice giggled under her breath. She'd decided. Maybe masquerades aren't so bad after all.

Reality

This world is full of selfish and cruel people, and I promised myself I would never turn into that… Everything I do now is just a distraction from the fact that things aren't fine. Every waking day is finding a distraction that can carry me through the day until I have to wake up and do it all again. I feel so disconnected from everything. It's almost like I'm not even here anymore… I'm just trying my best to make sure I don't drown. It's never that easy though. I'm 14 years old and I still know that it won't get better when you get older. the only difference is that you have to do more things that make it harder for you no matter what you do. Just because something is good in one moment doesn't mean that it's going to stay that way. People lose their luck over time it happens to everyone. nobody is perfect but everyone will try no matter the consequence. people starve so they can deem what society thinks what you should look like. what they think perfect is, but nothing can reach that point no matter how much surgery and work you do to reach it. Society has a twisted game and you have to play or else you are shunned. Even after everything we have done we still aren't equal. even if we strive to be, we most likely will never be able to see when that happens. But in reality, it most likely will never happen. people will never have the same thoughts. even if almost everyone thought the same there would be at least one person who thought differently but can't voice their opinions out of fear something will happen to them. but that's the reality for you.
