DMBJ Characters as Shakespeare Leads

I got into it in the notes of a moonfall echo post and now I’m going insane about what Shakespeare Characters each DMBJ person vibes the most with who do I blame for this

ANYWAY WELCOME TO MY LATEST NONSENSE THESE ARE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS AND ALSO BASED ENTIRELY ON VIBES ALONE

WU XIE as VIOLA from Twelfth Night

okay bear with me, I know this is a strong one coming right out the gate. But the GAY ENERGY. the ATTEMPTING TO BE SOMEONE THEY’RE NOT ALL THE TIME. the sheer amount of LOVE INSIDE. also this bitch spends SO much time in the series dressed up as other people like??? mans loves cosplaying except the cosplay is for Life and Death Situations. also the love triangles are hilarious. plus they’re both cute and gay and i love them

ZHANG QILING as CORIOLANUS from Coriolanus

did i choose these two because they’re arguably the hottest characters in each of their canon? maybe. also Cori Boy is the only one violent enough to even come CLOSE to xiao-ge’s deadly energy. I could have done Hamlet, who is the only other real Shakespearian swordsman, but Hamlet talks too much. also something about the desperation and side-switching that appeals to me. OH THEY BOTH HAVE GOOD TITS yeah that’s a good reason too

WANG PANGZI as THE FOOL from King Lear

okay before any of you come for me in the notes, the Fool is arguably the greatest Shakespearean character. They’re only CALLED the Fool cause it’s their job, but actually they’re the only one with any braincells in the play. Both start out as the archetypal comic relief character and then become the heart and soul of the story. The Fool makes a bunch of jokes and also prophesies the end and possibly is magic?? who’s to say. But anyway Pangzi also does all of those things and I feel like he should get to wear a funny hat. plus the Fool just has to deal with idiots trying to take his job by being clowns for free, and Pangzi can relate to that energy I think

LIU SANG as ARIEL from The Tempest

If it weren’t for just the SHEER amount of creepy magical energy they both exude, it’s the loyalty and sacrifice that does it for me. Not only are they both Ethereal Beings, there’s also a lot of sound ties to Ariel in The Tempest, so like it checks out. Plus they both Crouch. Also I just want Liu Sang to be able to smite some bitches sometimes. That would be good for him (it’s NOT because they’re both my favorite characters IT’S NOT)

Bai Haotian as Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream

So this is not only because i have a thing for casting women as Puck, but also because they fit so well together!! like. they both have crushes on people they perceive to be in authority! they both like being helpful! they both should get to be a little feral and also do magic! like Xiao Bai would be SUCH a cute Puck and if Wu Xie weren’t such a dumbass he’d make a good Oberon but alas. He is a Dumbass. so Xiao Bai is Puck but Wu Xie doesn’t get to be in Midsummer because he is simultaneously Too Dumb and Not Dumb Enough.

LI CU as PRINCE HAL from Henry IV Part I

sorry for more Tom Hiddleston pics but he’s genuinely like the best Shakespearian actor I’ve ever seen, and he’s done it all. Anyway Li Cu is Hal but specifically Hal from Part I because Part II isn’t as good and Hal is basically Dead when we get to Henry V so it has to be Part I. Anyway. Troubled youth who doesn’t want to do what his father wants so he basically gets kidnapped and raised by an older man who is full of Trickery and also Witty Remarks? The Best Friends Trios? The evolution into a Hero in Their Own Right? These guys are perfect for each other. Also I go feral about both of them at any given moment

A-NING as LADY MACBETH from Macbeth

YES I used A-Ning from Time Raiders because I think she’s the hottest version of A-Ning WHAT ABOUT IT. Anyway A-Ning could be no one other than the scheming girlboss Lady Macbeth. They’re both Morally Ambiguous but Fuck they look so good doing it. Can And Will manipulate literally any man into doing what they want. Su Nan was also a contender for Lady Macbeth because she resonates very strongly with the “Out, damned spot!” monologue, but she respects authority too much. A-Ning would not hesitate to kill the bitchass king of Scotland so that her family could ascend to the throne and I love that for her

ZHANG DADDY RISHAN as HAMLET from Hamlet

OKAY BEFORE ANYONE SAYS “brigid i know u chose them because ur a simp for zhang daddy rishan and ur a simp for hamlet stop being so predictable” LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE COULD DO IT THO??? LIKE??? ok they both are setting their life purpose on the bedrock of an older mentor figure’s death... they both have to deal with conspirators trying to usurp them... both the Ultimate Tragic Hero and Make Me Cry Every Damn Day... both are torn away from their nerd boyfriends by death... they both live in my head rent free... I know Zhang Daddy Rishan does not talk as much as Hammie Boy but I 100% think that there’s a CONSTANT monologue going on in his head at all times. Also the Am I A Coward speech? That’s our Daddy Rishan to the MAX. No one look at me or im gonna start making picsets of him with Hamlet quotes superimposed over it I swear to GOD

and finally....

WU SANXING as IAGO from Othello

Not only does this picture from the NTL production of Othello represent what I want to do to Sanshu every time I see him onscreen, but these bitches are two of The Fakest Hos I have ever come across. It’s a love-hate relationship with them most of the time; you hate them for what they’re doing to the heroes, but they’re so good at the Trickery that you can’t help but admire them for it a little bit. They can, have, and will sell their family members for a single Lick of Power and Wealth. And yeah, you could MAKE an argument for them to be Good or at the very least Morally Ambiguous but they’re both giant dicks and deep down in our hearts we all know it.

#so welcome to my hell #it's an ambiguous amalgamation of all of my interests and they only sort of interlap #anyway i have a lot of feelings about Shakespeare and a lot of feelings about DMBJ #if u have any questions or would like me to assign a different character a Shakespeare-sona #or would like me to assign YOU a Shakespeare-sona #please drop by my ask box #thank u and goodnight #dmbj #dmemebj #the lost tomb #billy shakes #i did not have to do this and yet

On 9th April 1747 leading Jacobite Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat was executed on Tower Hill London, the last execution by beheading in the country.

The Clan Fraser patriarch was an expert double-dealer from his youth in Restoration England — when he recruited a small regiment in nominal service to William and Mary but allegedly plotting to desert to the Stuarts at the opportune moment, is it any wonder the 11th Lord Lovat got the nickname "The Fox" Some may see him as a Jacobite hero, but Simon Fraser was not a nice man, he kidnapped, raped, and forcibly married a woman from a rival clan in order to gain claim on a contested succession (Lovat had to flee the country, a death sentence in absentia at his heels). He forged incriminating documents in an unsuccessful bid to undermine rival nobles.

I think the nickname maybe should have been the cat, this is part of a speech by Lord Belhaven, delivered in the last Parliament held in Edinburgh, in 1706, .”....in which his lordship, speaking of this nobleman, then Captain Fraser, on occasion of the Scots plot, commonly called Fraser's plot, says that " he deserved, if practicable, to have been hanged five several times, in five different places, and upon five different accounts at least : as having been notoriously a traitor to the Court of St James's, a traitor to the Court of St Germain's, a traitor to the Court of Versailles and a traitor to his own country of Scotland; in being not only an avowed and restless enemy." Strong words indeed!

He played both sides of the Hanover-Stuart intrigue, ingratiating himself with both Jacobites and London during the 1715 uprising, more so than his contemporary, John Erskine, Earl of Mar, who also got an unenviable nickname "Bobbin John".

To be fair Lovatt as a soldier was well past it by the time the '45 came about, he was in his late 70's and riddled with gout, more important to Prince Charles army was the men he could command., it fell to his son to lead the clan in the uprising. This excerpt from "Memoirs of the Jacobites 1715 and 1745" tells it all.

He could neither walk nor ride, as he was almost helpless; he was deaf, purblind, eighty years of age, ignorant of English law, and it was therefore not a matter of surprise that the high-born tribes, who thronged to his trial, were disappointed in the brilliancy of his parts, and in the readiness of his wit. "I see little of parts in him,” observes Walpole It appeared, indeed, doubtful in what form death would seize him first, and whether disease and age might not cheat the scaffold of its victim.

He must have been a sore sight sitting in the dock, he had however not lost any of his faculties and defended himself at the trial, and in truth he took no real part in the Uprising, and in his defence he said he merely obeyed the Scots law of hospitality and gave shelter to the Prince.

The guilty verdict was a forgone conclusion though and so it was on April 9th, Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat in his 80th year was taken out for his execution, which originally was to be Hung, drawn and quartered but was computed to a mere beheading by the King.

As he was stepping into the carriage which would carry him to his death, an old woman shouted, 'You will have your head chopped off, you ugly old Scots dog.' Without a second's hesitation he turned upon her, and, raising his hat, replied, 'I verily believe I shall, you old English bitch.'

Large crowds gathered for the spectacle and it is said to have amused Lovatt when a grandstand erected for the benefit of spectators to the event suddenly collapsed, resulting in the death of 20 people As he was going up the steps to the scaffold, assisted by two warders, he looked round, and, seeing the crowds said, " God save us, why should there be such a bustle about taking off an old grey head, that cannot get up three steps without three bodies to support it ?

His gallows mirth is credited as the origin of the saying “laughing your head off” and maybe, I should add “Gallows Humour”?

Turning about, and observing one of his friends much dejected, he clapped him on the shoulder, saying: "Cheer up thy heart, man! I am not afraid; why should you be so? " As soon as he climbed onto the scaffold he asked for the executioner, and presented him with ten guineas in a purse, and then, desiring to see the axe, he felt the edge and said he " believed it would do." Soon after, he rose from the chair which was placed for him and looked at the inscription on his coffin, and on sitting down again he read

" Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. Nam genus et proavos, et qux non fecimus ipsi, Vix ea nostra voco."

Which translates to

" It is sweet and honorable to die for the fatherland For the race, ancestry, and the things that we have not had hardly call our own."

Lovatt told the executioner he would say a short prayer and then give the signal by dropping his handkerchief. In this posture he remained about half-a- minute, and then, on throwing his handkerchief on the floor, the executioner at one blow cut off his head, which was received in the cloth, and, with his body was put into the coffin and carried in a hearse back to the Tower, where it was interred near the bodies of the other lords.

Or was it? Speculation that Lovatts friends and family managed to spirit the body away to the Wardlaw Mausoleum in Kirkhill, where his ancestors lie, for centuries it is thought that a body, minus the head, in a lead casket inside was that of "The Old Fox" but 2018 the remains were inspected by a forensic scientist and were found to be that of a female. There are some who still cling to the belief that Lovatt is buried in the graveyard there somewhere, but you just can’t go about digging up graves in search of a 270 odd year body because of a “legend”

To me it looks like The Old Fox is within the walls of The Tower of London after all. Along with other notable Jacobites, William Murray, Marquess of Tullibardine William Boyd, 4th Earl of Kilmarnock and Arthur Elphinstone, 6th Lord Balmerino, they are all featured on a plaque in the Chapel of Saint Peter-ad-Vincula. London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Another notable name on the plaque is Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, who was part of the Ridolfi plot, which would have saw him marry Mary Queen of Scots and become King of England, had it succeeded. Three English Queen’s also appear on the plaque.

One of my ports of call when researching history is the web page Find a Grave, people use it to go pay their respects to those named on the site, Lord Lovatt being one, there are dozens of tributes left throughout the years, including one already today. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6852/lord-lovat

The Meeting

Maggie was sure she was asleep before pushing the door open and walking in. Sunlight was now drifting through the small window, and she carefully sat down on the small couch near Ophelia. She looked terrible, Maggs thought as she studied her. Jesus, who did that to her? Her hair had dried in a crumple, so that her side-bangs were floating up above her head, stuck up against the back of the chair she sat in. Her face was oddly pale, deep blue-purple rings under her eyes. And she didn’t seem to remember a thing- which was probably a good thing for Maggie, because if she had recognized her she might’ve immediately tried to attack her. But she seemed so helpless, completely out with her mouth open and her head tipped back slightly. Her foot stirred, and a soft groan left her mouth. Maggie started, not wanting to be caught looking at her if she woke. But she returned to stillness, and Maggs let out a breath.

Monica stepped through the doorway and opened the refrigerator door, tossing a strange glance at Maggie and Ophelia. “So, what’d the cat drag in?” She spoke as she grabbed her breakfast from the fridge and shut the door with her foot. She settled onto the counter edge and looked at Ophelia suspiciously as she opened the package to her frozen waffle.

“She’s the prince of Denmark’s girlfriend, that’s all I know for sure,” Maggie said quietly. “I figure she might be very useful as bait or ransom or something of that sort.”

“Yeah, you’re probably right,” Monica replied, studying her.

“She showed up by the window out on the street, and I recognized her and let her in. She was completely out of it, stumbling around and not knowing where she was. I don’t think she’s a threat, she’s really not in her right mind.”

“Drunk?”

“No, I can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s something much worse.” Maggie stared hard at Ophelia, hoping for the answer to appear in thin air. Something about the way she had moved and spoke, it seemed like her mind wasn’t there at all.

“Well,” Monica said, still watching the snoring hostage. “I guess we could just move her to the back room for the meeting?”

“Oh, shit, that’s this morning,” Maggs jumped up and shook Ophelia. “Hey, you’ve gotta move to a different room, come on,” She nudged, and Ophelia opened her eyes after a second and Maggie helped her to the back closet. She was deposited there, Maggie assuring Monica that she didn’t need to be restrained, and they went back to the main room to set up.

Ophelia quickly curled back up and drifted back to sleep, but after a while, commotion from the front room floated into her mind and she opened her eyes again. She sat up on the three chairs that had been pushed together, and rubbed her face, trying to remember where she was. She caught her reflection in the small grimy mirror sitting inside a box on the shelves lining the room. She stood, picked it up, and fixed her hair as best she could, and wiped off the lake grime from her face with a wetted paper towel. She already looked a little better, and she’d dried out completely so she didn’t drip water wherever she went.

She quietly turned the door knob and poked her head around the edge, and listened to the voices from the other room. She seemed to recognize some of them, she knew she’d heard at least a few of them before, but she had no idea where. So she stepped out of the room and walked carefully down the hallway, stopping at the end and peeking around the corner. No one noticed for many seconds, but slowly, every eye turned to see her and the clatter quickly quieted.

“So,” Sebastian said, taking another handful of chips and completely unbothered by Ophelia’s appearance, “Who’s the chick?”

Maggie stood and moved across the room like ice, and locked eyes with Ophelia. “I said to stay in the room.”

Ophelia looked back at her, not knowing what to say. “Why not let her stay?” Someone chimed in, and Ophelia looked around Maggie to see Jackie, with a mischievous smile on their face. Somehow all of their names were coming to her easily, but she still couldn’t remember where she could have met them.

Maggie thought for a moment, still not looking away from Ophelia. “Do you want to stay?” She said, and the tension in the room immediately shifted- this was uncommon behavior from their leader.

Ophelia nodded and whispered, “Sure, I guess.”

Maggie cocked a head toward an empty chair, and Ophelia followed her motion and sat down, becoming very uncomfortable with the stares watching her every move.

Maggie walked back to the counter and sat down. “Our next move is reconnaissance- I need more information on the state of the King and Queen, and all I’ve been able to gather so far is that some kind of disturbance caused them to send the prince to England, but they’ve been keeping everything very tight-lipped to avoid public uproar.”

Ophelia watched Maggie with a confused look. Something about what she was saying seemed to remind her of something, but it was still too fuzzy to tell.

“After that, barring any shaking new information, we need to identify the weak points of the castle and find some point of entry. So far there is still no plan after breaching and entering, but until we know more information that just won’t be possible. After we find an inside ear, we will need to know guard regiments and schedules, the physical capabilities of the royals, etcetera etcetera. But for right now, I want us to focus on simply finding the points of entry and-”

“Wait!” Ophelia blurted out before she thought about what she was doing.

Everyone turned and Maggie answered, “Yes?”

“Are you trying to take down the king?”

“Yep,” Camilla answered.

“Is that what you were doing with Hamlet?” The name came to her almost instinctively, and so did a certain situation, though she couldn’t remember what.

Maggie looked at her, hard. “Yes. The Prince of Denmark would presumably have plenty of information to help with his own downfall, wouldn’t you think?”

“But why try to kill him? I’m sure he’d help you if you just asked.” Ophelia looked back confusedly. Hamlet hated his uncle, why wouldn’t he want to take him off the throne?

Maggie was silent for many seconds, before clearing her throat, “You mean to tell me that the Prince of Denmark is already plotting to kill the king?” Ophelia nodded, still trying to put slivers of memories together.

“He- He hates the king, he- ah,” Ophelia closed her eyes, trying to remember, but nothing came. “Goddamnit I can’t remember a thing, look, all I know is that he’d gladly take your help in taking the king off the throne, as far as I know he doesn’t ever want to be king anyway, you should just talk to him and work something out.”

Maggie stared at her and everyone in the room tensed, waiting for her to move. But she started to laugh. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” she laughed hysterically, “I’ve been trying this whole time to find ways to kidnap that slick son of a bitch and you’re telling me he’s been on my side? You’re not lying, are you?”

“Look, I can’t remember anything right now, I could be completely wrong, but like, I’m pretty sure he’d be down with it.” Ophelia answered, still rubbing her temples and trying to force her brain to work.

Maggie sighed and wiped her eyes from laughing so hard. “Damn, well I’m glad you showed up on our doorstep. Everyone, this is Ophelia, she’s apparently going to be helping us out now.”

Ophelia looked around at the group around her. She could have sworn she’d seen them all before, but no memories were surfacing at the moment.

“Well,” Monica cleared her throat, and Ophelia turned to look at her. “Got any other info for us?” The others looked to her expectantly, but she frowned.

“I still can’t remember very much, it’s already starting to fade,” She spoke, rubbing her temples. Maggie looked her over.

“You wanna join our group?” She asked, realizing she hadn’t yet asked her opinion on the matter.

Ophelia froze and looked up. Being a part of a somewhat terrifying group of rebels to the state trying to take down the government from the inside out?

“You don’t have to have any skills, we can teach you all you need to know,” Maggie continued, but she still hesitated, “And we aren’t planning on being particularly cruel or bloody in this whole endeavor. Honestly, the only person who really needs to die is the king himself, and since apparently the prince himself is on our side, he wouldn’t be hurt, at least not by us.”

Ophelia looked around at the group once more, trying to read their expressions. They stared back blankly, Jackie being the only person to smile at her as they bounced their knee up and down. Ophelia took a deep breath. “Fuck it, why not.”

The room erupted in cheers, and Maggie clapped her hands together and got a bottle of champagne from the cabinet, and Monica gave everyone a mug and filled it. “Well, here’s to the next stage of taking Denmark!” And everyone raised their mugs.

After some conversation, and Ophelia introducing herself to each member of the group, a headache started to set in and Maggie suggested she lay down and rest for a while. She complied, and wandered off to her makeshift bed in the back room. Maggie watched her leave, then caught Monica’s eye as she made to stand, and she looked at her peculiarly. “You…” Monica started, with a mischievous grin, but Maggie stopped her.

“Nope, no, shut up, not the time,”

“Oooookay,” Monica smiled and helped her clean up from the meeting.

- Urgh, I can’t keep up with your stupid pinning, just go talk to him already!

- Are you CRAZY?? – Roman asked lowering his voice and getting closer to his best friend – Logan is simply impossible to get through! No one ever talks to him and he closes himself to everyone! There is just NO WAY I can talk to him, he’ll think I’m just another stupid jock trying to make fun of him! He won’t take me seriously.

Virgil angrily raised his left eyebrow to him.

- Roman Prince, are you kidding? You made me go through all that dramatic shit with Patton and now you’re all worried out because you can’t talk to Logan Yerkes? Look! – Virgil pointed to where the over-distracted nerd was – He’s right there, hair licked back, fixing his glasses like it’s going to fall any minute even though he just fixed that, taking another bite of toast with that jelly he always brings from home-

- Do you really need to narrate everything he’s doing? – Roman covered his blushing face wishing for the bell to ring earlier with no success.

- Yes, because you do that all the time on loop and because it makes you look more stupid than usual. Anyway OHHHHH would you look at thaaaaat, he’s reading that dramatic theater thing book that you like

- You mean, Hamlet?

- Yeah, this shit

- You know Hamlet! Why did you called it like that??

- I know exactly what I said. Anyway, this is the PERFECT time for you to go there and talk to him. Say that you enjoy it or whatever. Look, I’m the most anxious mess that you probably know, if I could do this I’m pretty sure that you also can.

- Easier said than done – Roman said burying his face on the table – And you had my help so I have half of the credit for you being able to talk with Patton.

Virgil then stared at Roman, looked back at Logan and gave his friend the meaniest smile he could give.

- Aaaalright, then! Gimme a sec – Virgil got up from the table and went to Logan’s direction, making the jock panic

- Wait! Virgil, what are you doing?? – he tried to grab the emo’s arm but it was too late.

- This is sweet revenge, Princey – the emo whispered making his way to Logan’s table and at this point Roman simply picked up his cellphone and tried to pretend there was anything happening.

Sometimes he lifted his eyes to peek on what was happening. He could see Virgil pointing at Logan’s book and his head nodding in response. After a few seconds he looked again and saw Virgil pointing at him instead so he lowered his head as fast as he could and never looked up again.

After what seemed to be an eternity, Virgil came back with is hands on the pocket of his hoodie, keeping up with his mean smile.

- And karma is a bitch – he whispered at the blushing mess.

- Virge, if I die you can bet all your My Chemical Romance CDs you’ll be the first one I’m haunting – he said, making Virgil chuckle

- He said you seem to be… Ahem… “Quite intriguing and nice to be with… And ahn… a little bit attractive too” – he said trying his best to impersonate Logan’s voice, even the way he cleared his throat at the end – He’d love to talk with you about Shakespeare, so go on.

Roman took a deep breath and looked at Logan, who was probably looking at him because he moved his head quickly to the books direction. Roman smiled at his friend, whispered a small “thank you” and made his way to his table.

Giulia&Zee: Oooh yeah let’s talk

D: if Nick looks at you wrong, you're gonna waste him.

LET HIIIIIM

Giulia: Who cut Jared ‘s hair

Giulia: I dont like it

Zee: I need season 8 hair

S: Donatello's in this because of me. A police officer is dead because of me. I'm the one who let Nick go, I'm the one who...

please babe ....can someone just hold him

M: Nick's choices are his. Just his.

M: You gave him a chance because you felt for him.....because you're a good man.

Giulia: Oh look at him being all cute when mary called him a good man

M: You are. It's one of the reasons I'm so proud of you.

Anael complainig about the dust while she’s an angel.

Giulia: LOL SHE S ME

ALSO WE ALL KNOW THAT DANNEEL LOVES CREEPY DOLLS

A: God's not gonna care.

Giulia: das true

A: I believed in Heaven. You know, our mission. I believed, Castiel. But then I got to Earth, and I saw that it wasn't the paradise God promised. I mean, there was so much hate...so much suffering.

A: Why wasn't he helping them? And do you know what he said?

A: "God doesn't meddle."

Zee: Doesn’t meddle

Giulia: Das also true

A: Well, I do. So I do.

C: And here I thought you just performed miracles for the money.

A: Well, you haven't been paying attention, then. I do them for me. I don't need Heaven. And I don't need God. And... I'm happy, Castiel.

LISTEN - I STAN ANAEL

C: Really? Because that sounds lonely.

Zee: We’re all lonely

A: because we're all alone. From ant to lion to human to angel. Every last one of us.

Giulia: SHE S ME

C: God reached down, and he brought me back to life.

A: So he saves one angel...and watches millions of people die screaming, every day. What does that say about him?

Giulia *sweats* : But he saves THE angel ok

Zee: Ouch

D: Where’s Donatello?

Giulia: That’s the content I want

N: I get you, Dean. You and me,we're almost like brothers, you know. Michael, you,Lucifer, me --

Giulia: NOT LIKE THIS

N: we both know what it's like to be hog-tied to a nuclear warhead, man.

Giulia: OH NOPE

Giulia: NICE

D: Cut the crap

N: You're never the same after something like that, are ya? Being one with one of them. It changes you. Makes you more than human. Come on, Dean, admit it. With Michael, you were a prince. Now you're just a broken Hunter.

Giulia: Another one

Zee: Demon dean vibes

Giulia: But also MoC tho

Giulia: So much demon dean

D: Come on, Nick. What's this all about?

D: He says he wants to talk to Jack...alone.

Giulia: His friggin’ cocoa puffs

Giulia: I don t like jack and nick alone Especially jack with no soul. Because let’s be real, he has so little of it ok

j: Sam?

S: I mean-

D: "I mean"? What do you mean, you mean

S: How's he even a threat?

Me: mmmm *opening big ass folder* where do I start?

Zee: Of course. He went there

N: Even your three dads -- how many innocent people you think they've killed?

Zee: Even your three dads

Giulia: Threee dads

Giulia: You broke his heart

N: I don't know. I don't -- I don't see it. I'm looking right at you, and I see nothing.

Zee: I see nothing

Giulia: Don t like that. Mmm mmm nope

Zee: Wth?

Giulia: He killed him

N: Nick. He'll show us where to find Donatello.

oh...he did not kill him. oh bother

Zee: I’m done

Giulia: We ve been knew

A: Look, I just stepped on a rat, so --

Giulia: My babe

Zee: Say it like you mean it tho

A: You're doing this because you're afraid. Because in your mind, it'd be easier to call God than to tell Sam and Dean Winchester the truth.

C: The truth?

A: Jack's soul is gone, Castiel. And there's nothing you can do about it.

i hate this

A: Look. I don't want to say all that and hurt your feelings, so...what do you say we call it a night?

HI YES I’M WRECKED BY CAS FACE RIGHT NOW, DON’T TOUCH ME

N: Wait. Let me guess. Sammy's gonna shoot me.

Giulia: Yeah to start

Giulia: It’s been swell

A: So, what are you gonna do now?

C: Go home.

Giulia: The bunker is his Hoooomeee

C: Go home and tell Sam and Dean the truth.

Zee: Can I have the bag?

C: Anael. You know, you're not <i>always</i> right. Just because God's not with us doesn't mean we're alone.

A: Why? Because we all have each other?

C: Yes.

Giulia: SO CUTE

J: This was filled with angelic grace.

February Wrap-Up 2019

Hi! February was a good reading month; I read a total of 13 books and it felt like I read a bit of everything! Some classics, a play, a graphic novel, two books I’ve put off/waiting a long time to read and two completely new authors whose books I plan to read more of in the future.

NIMONA by NOELLE STEVENSON ★★★☆☆ | 266 pages | 1 day to read | Published 2015

Borrowed this from the libary because it looked really cute and fantastical! + The art is very cute, and I liked most of the characters and their relations with each other, to some extent. It managed to be funny and serious at the same time and played around a little with the hero/villain roles, which is always interesting to read! - Idk, sometimes it confused me and sometimes it felt like the story brushed over important stuff that would’ve been worth to discuss further.

SON by LOIS LOWRY ★★★★☆ | 393 pages | 2 days to read | Published 2012

The fourth and final book in The Giver series! + This really tied together all the previous stories nicely - it even made me appreciate the second and third book more and answered some of the questions I had. This book also really made me realise how horrific the first society shown in The Giver is. Like, it is messed up, and I knew that to some extent already but the first chapter of this book was a solid punch in the face. - A majority of this book was the most realistic of this series, but then it got kind of jarring when the magical stuff started to happen - which is a small issue I’ve had with this series as a whole.

WILDCARD by MARIE LU ★★★★☆ | 341 pages | 2 days to read | Published 2018

I finally - finally! - got this from the library, and sat down to read it at once. + I still really love the world of Warcross, and I actually also really like the romance in this one still, though I have a hard time explaining why. - There was just so much going on and while I like that the book wasn’t so predictable that I knew what was going to happen there were certain things I was less pleased by than others. But overall, I think it was a nice conclusion to this duology!

THE CRUEL PRINCE by HOLLY BLACK ★★★★☆ | 370 pages | 5 days to read | Published 2018

I was quite hesistant to pick this up, because I’d heard SO MANY mixed reviews on it. But I can now say that I’m glad I did read it. + I don’t know who told me this, but I had the impression Jude would be an unlikeable main character - which put me off reading this for a while - but? She wasn’t? Idk, I liked her just fine. I liked the world of Fae too; magical but still showcasing all the dangerous stuff, and it was unpredictable in a way that wasn’t annoying. - I am not entirely sold on the main romance yet, I’ll be honest, and Jude could sometimes be annoying. And also, what’s with these fairy YA books and annoying bitch sisters? Like, Nesta from ACOTAR still takes the price but damn, Taryn.

THE POPPY WAR by R. F. KUANG ★★★★☆ | 412 pages | 2 days to read | Published 2018

Bought this on ebook a while ago and now felt like the time to read it! + Like, the entire first half of the book had me HOOKED. I was so intruiged and could not stop reading. I loved Rin as the main character, the academy was an interesting setting and all the side-characters were great. This book also focuses a lot on the “us vs them” mentality in war, and also a lot of moral discussions in general, which was very interesting to read. - After a while though, in tact with the story taking this darker, more raw tone I didn’t like Rin as much; I felt like a lot of the decisions she made were either very stupid or too cruel for what I’d perceived her character to be from the beginning. I wished they’d spent more time at the academy rather than the setting of an all-out war already in the first book.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA (Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Magician’s Nephew, The Silver Chair and The Last Battle) by C. S. LEWIS ★★☆☆☆ / ★★★☆☆ | 1099 pages | 10 days to read | Published 1951-1956

I put together all the books I read because I’m lazy, but yay! I finished reading The Chronicles of Narnia this month! + Some of the books I expected to like less were surprisingly entertaining (The Dawn Treader, The Magician’s Nephew) and I found a new appreciation for Eustace, who definietly was the funniest character until he turned into a Good Boy and become kinda boring like the rest of them. It was interesting to see more of Narnia and understand the story more now that I’ve read it all. - In contrast, some of the books I expected to like were the most boring ones (Prince Caspian, The Silver Chair) and while the last chapters of The Last Battle were very fun to read, the plot of it was just so damn weird. The end of Narnia caused by a monkey and a donkey dressed in a lion’s fur? Okay then.

WE ARE THE ANTS by SHAUN DAVID HUTCHINSON ★★★★☆ | 455 pages | 1 day to read | Published 2016

I was so curious about this book, and was interested in the author’s other works as well. I decided to try this and see if I wanted to read more of Hutchinson’s work, and can now tell you that I probably will! + The characters were flawed and interesting and felt really, really human without being annoying. The main character goes through so damn much and you really feel for him while being so interested in what his final answer will be despite sort of knowing how it might turn out. - Okay, but are we going to pretend that what the main character’s older brother did to him was okay? This is a point of the story that I want discussed/solved but it wasn’t, and I’m frustrated.

WUNDERSMITH: THE CALLING OF MORRIGAN CROW by JESSICA TOWNSEND ★★★★☆ | 377 pages | 2 days to read | Published 2018

The sequel to Nevermoor was translated into Swedish way faster than I had expected, I was so happy to get my hands on this book and devoured it pretty quick. + I just couldn’t stop reading. I was so excited to know more about Morrigan and her friends and the school and her powers. I really liked the relationships Morrigan had with some characters, that the hotel truly gets established as her family and that Jupiter starts to take a more paternal role (even though he’s still very absent a lot of the time). - A thing that followed from the first book that I had an issue with, but I’m a bit tired of the plot moving forward because of by people around Morrigan literally not telling her anything. It gets sort of old, after a while, even if it fits Nevermoor’s mystic setting and tone.

HAMLET by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE ★★★☆☆ | 139 pages | 2 days to read | Published 2003 (1600)

+ It was more entertaining that I thought it would be and it was nice finally reading the source of characters and scenes I’d otherwise only read and heard about. Some of the monologues and dialogues were very funny to read, as well. - (Ophelia deserved better, both character-wise and plot-wise). This still isn’t my favourite out of the few plays by Shakespeare I’ve read because...reasons, I guess.

My reread commentary on October Daye #8, "The Winter Long" or "more shit goes down in this book than the first 7 combined, holy shit".

I apologize to anyone who reads these cause I literally hit the length limit on this post and had to pare it down lmao

-Good start: Under the Acknowledgements section: "Everything I have done with October's world to this point has been for the sake of getting here". Sooo basically the first 7 books? Setup for this one. We're in for a Ride.

I want to emphasize some of the best meta foreshadowing I've seen:

FOR REFERENCE, Rosemary and Rue is the title of book 1. It's also the only book whose opening Shakespeare quote (from Hamlet) doesn't really match the title. If you know your Shakespeare, you probably would have caught that and figured out that it was from The Winter's Tale instead. Plenty of conclusions you can draw just from that. Since then the series has been chock full of hidden identities, and this book has two BIG ones coming into play. Foreshadowing was here from the very fucking beginning, and it is some next level shit. Very well done.

-If you skipped book 1 you are SO fucked, btw.

- we're going to great lengths to describe Sylvester's physical appearance. Gee I wonder why. I'm sure it's not relevant

- yes Sylvester has FOX COLORED HAIR and YELLOW EYES and his magic smells like DAFFODILS and DOGWOOD FLOWERS. He is Toby's LEIGE and FATHER FIGURE.

Me on a first read: oh it's just beginning book exposition, they all do this

Me on a second read: god fucking damn it

- toby: I should have known Sylvester would never disappoint me.

Me: oh sweetie. Oh honey.

- "He smelled like smoke and rotten oranges.

This man wasn't Sylvester Torquill."

Anyone who read book 1: OHSHIT.AVI

Welcome back, Simon! You know, Sylvester's evil twin? You know, the big bad (so far) of the series? The the one responsible for turning Toby into a fish for 14 years?

-Yet he seems kinda... off, huh? Comments about how he didnt know the spell would last 14 years, how he hates to upset October's mom, of all people? Whatever could he mean? :)))

-New toby power: spell reflection? Hell yeah? Also spell BREAKING, but to be fair she did do that one other time. In, you guessed it, book 1.

- "When I tried to picture Sylvester's face, I kept seeing Simon's instead" ow oof

- Simon calling Amandine "Amy", which we've established is an affectionate nickname (it being what, you know, THE LUIDAEG calls her). Why would Simon, of all people, call her that?

... oh.

-That sure explains a LOT, huh? That sure was set up... this whole time, huh?

-Little "fuck you" lines like "I didn't know Sylvester had a niece" in book 2. Talking about January. Well, uh, he has several actually! You're one of them!

-Explanation for why Sylvester had any inclination to be October's mentor... eventually becoming her liege and father figure... even giving her the Changeling's Choice (something family is supposed to do). It seems mighty convenient that a random noble was involved in the life of a changeling to such an extent. BUT, if he was her uncle, and knew his brother wouldn't step up? Well...

-This isn't even the biggest reveal of the book. Like, we're only a handful of chapters in and this bomb gets dropped.

-Sylvester, every 10 minutes: oh boy I cant wait to see my brother so I can like, completely eviscerate him!

Everyone else: uh,

- Tybalt: and here I thought I was going to have to ask Sylvester for his blessing. Now I technically have to ask SIMON?

Toby: uwotm8

Tybalt: oh god uhh I'm joking yeah uhh I'm just trying to distract you from all this stress :)) yeah (nailed it!)!

-And now we begin the "wow Sylvester is actually not a great person" slide. It's been hinted at that he's pretty unstable and has shitty priorities regarding people he cares about. But Toby glossed over a lot of it because she adored him. Welp.

- It's also an interesting aside that Etienne was kind of a dick to Toby for a reason in the earlier books. He legit thought she had been knighted because she was family, not that she had earned the post. And after the last few books he clearly knows now that that's not the case and they've actually become friends. That's interesting hidden character development.

- ok so The Gang finds out that Simon was telling the truth when he said turning Toby into a fish for 14 years was to save her. Because he had actually been hired to KILL her and didn't want to do it. So it was a loophole-- everyone thought she was dead, and then (as established in book 1) pretty much everyone forgot she existed until the spell broke.

-BUT Simon is bound by a geas (where have we seen that before) and cannot divulge his employer's name. But who had such a grudge against Toby and/or her mom to order a hit on her AND forcibly bind everyone to secrecy?

-who knows? Not toby. So they go to The Luidaeg to maybe get a lead, and she establishes right away that she is ALSO bound under a geas and can't say who did it. So we play some 20 questions, and then...

ULTRA DISTRESSING LUIDAEG LORE :((((

-additional: another month name just came into play. August. Toby's half sister, missing for a century. WHAT IS WITH THE MONTH NAMES

- "please don't mistake villainy for evil." That's an.. interesting quote re:Simon.

- Simon's way of protecting toby from the impending threat is "well maybe you turn into a tree for a few centuries but like. You're safe, right? Why are you mad?"

- The Luidaeg: *is straight up dead*

Toby: hey tybalt remember that time in book 2 when I Resurrected the Dead

Tybalt: yeah, it was fucking terrifying and I didnt speak to you for 6 months

Toby: *finger guns* guess whaaaaaat

-The Luidaeg: *says just. A bunch of Lore*

Toby: Luidaeg dont you dare drop that cryptic shit on me then pass out

Luidaeg: nap time

-"If you so much as whisper the first word of a transformation spell, I'll have your larynx in my hand before the second word can form." DAMN, Tybalt.

-Simon: I am VERY sorry for my bullshit earlier. I can't tell you who my employer is, but I CAN give you this BOUQUET of ICE COLD ROSES. Ice cold, like winter. Winter Roses, if you will. Yeah. Uh have a nice life, bye!

Everyone: well this sure is a mystery

-Simon is definitely a morally grey character. Has done really awful shit, is built up as a major villain... but turns out he had relatively little control over his actions. He does the wrong thing a lot but it's usually not for a truly evil end? If the context is to be believed he got stuck in the geas contract with Unnamed Employer to save his daughter, which explains the bad shit he did that we know of. Which then inadvertently kicked off like the whole series. He seems to genuinely care about Toby in a warped way? It would be so easy to write him off as an evil stepdad or whatever and there's plenty of canon to support that stance (she's an illegitimate CHANGELING child) but he seems like he wants to just be her dad. I hope we explore his character more, is what I'm saying.

-And not to keep rambling about it but Toby is an established unreliable narrator and a horrible (initial) judge of character. So it's not like this is an asspull or off base at all.

Twist of the fucking century here.

-You know... the character who set off the events of the series? The character who was murdered in book 1 and bound October to a geas forcing her to find the culprit or die? Evening fucking Winterrose?

-There were hints, most very subtle unlike the other big twists, but probably the biggest one is SHE NEVER SHOWS UP AS A NIGHT HAUNT. And they're in the story quite a bit, and they ALWAYS feature killed off characters. Except Evening.

-My favorite hints were the ones just piled in book 1. Comments like "no one knows who Evening really is" said with zero self awareness. Because we are actually about to find out who she is... 7 goddamn books later.

-dead meme but "surprise, bitch. Bet you thought you saw the last of me."

-God she's so awful lol

-Toby thinking Quentin died then calling him THE SON SHE NEVER HAD is a BIG OOF right to the HEART. ;-;

-The book also points out that The Luidaeg through the series has ALWAYS referred to Evening in present tense. Even though she "died" in book 1.

-The Luidaeg ALSO never refers to her as Evening. It's always "The Winterrose". You know, a title. Which we have heavily emphasized is something the Firstborn use in place of their true names.

*jazz hands* Surprise!

-We also (finally) have a canon explanation for the... rather remarkable coincidence that Quentin, the fucking Crown Prince (from TORONTO), is in San Francisco at all. It was always weird he got sent to Shadowed Hills, and it's been commented on multiple times... Evening arranged it, of course! For reasons we don't quite know. But as the Daoine Sidhe Firstborn, her descendants couldn't exactly say no. Even though they didn't know who she really was.

-We really are falling all over Firstborn in this series? It sure is.. an odd coincidence, huh?

We got:

The Luidaeg: Roane/Selkie

Amandine: Dochas Sidhe

Acacia: Blodynbryd

Evening: Daoine Sidhe

Blind Michael: ... uh actually I don't think we ever learn what race he's Firstborn of. All his "children" are kidnapping victims forcibly twisted into monsters. Well, except for Luna, but we only know the Blodynbryd side.

But it's weird that for being so rare that we've run into 5 of them in 8 books. There's gotta be a reason for it.. but what?

-Luna starts the series as Toby's Surrogate Mom and is now just straight up an enemy huh

-I made this observation in my book 1 notes, but I find it very interesting that all of Toby's initial friends and allies... aren't by this point. Whereas her current allies are either former enemies or people she initially disliked or distrusted.

Starter allies: Sylvester? Was lying to her the whole time. Luna? Pretty much tried to sacrifice her (+above). Evening? Uhh this whole damn book. Devin? Tried to kill her for personal gain. Lily/Connor? Both killed off for real.

Current allies: Tybalt? Literal former enemy turned lover. Quentin? Kind of a snotty, vaguely racist kid she whips into shape. The Luidaeg? Extremely powerful witch who Toby assumes is True Neutral and wouldn't hesitate to kill her. May? Literal personal walking death omen.

It's just a cool reversal. There's so much really excellent character development in this series and I love it.

-Simon still is a pretty major bastard but.. less outright mustache twirling evil than we were led to believe up to this book. You learn his Backstory and while it really doesn't justify his actions it does...explain them.

-Blink and you miss it Lore: August is missing because she entered a contract with the Luidaeg. She's holding the candle from book 3 :)))

I'm starting to realize I stan The Luidaeg so hard I just have to take a picture every time she shows up and does stuff lmfao. (Best character).

-But... nothing like your inconceivably ancient and powerful aunt suddenly owing you a life debt, I guess???

-Toby. You know, just an ordinary weak changeling who has somehow managed to KILL A FIRSTBORN and RAISE THE DEAD. yikes.

I'm just putting this here cause it's funny as shit. Tybalt really is just... a cat

This book: I heard you like distressing Luidaeg lore??

Me: oh thanks I don't need to feel things

-God Evening is awful. Like, if you didn't know that already, see above.

-It says something about The Luidaeg that despite all that shit their Firstborn did to her she ends up becoming such good friends with Quentin, a Daoine Sidhe?

-BIG LORE with The Luidaeg talking to Maeve??? And Maeve "responding" kind of? This series damn well better explore what the fuck happened to those three it's been built up all series

-Omg the showdown with Evening and The Luidaeg. And Toby managing to break free and realize she deserves so much more than Evening-- all without magic. And Simon showing up for a last minute redemption trying to hit Evening with elf shot? I mean he gets shot in the process, but...

-We now have like, 3 or 4 characters just... asleep indefinitely thanks to elf shot. that's gonna be a Thing isnt it. Rayseline, Evening, Simon, Arden's brother...

WE DID IT BOYS

-This is the last full one I've already read. Most of my reactions in 9-12 are gonna be new. So.

CRAVE by Tracy Wolff thoughts: Chapter 0 - 21

Full video here.

In which a mortal girls goes to her uncle’s boarding school after the death of her parents, and finds it full of creatures.

CH 0 for some reason: if you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space

“Try my hardest not to freak the eff out” - if you’re gonna use expletives, use them

Immediate info dump of “if you’d told me two months ago i was gonna be in fairbanks alaska to get a puddle jumper to denali, the highest mountain point in north america”

CH 1: landing is just throwing yourself to the ground and hoping you don’t miss

I thought these quotes were weird self help quotes but then i realized they were probably the chapter titles

The fog is referred to as “civil twilight” - this weirded me out because civil blood and twilight, idk if this is a real thing? Will look it up if i remember: it is the brightest of the 3 twilight phases and it is ABUNDANTLY clear that she added the civil part to not make it straight up twilight because this book is unwitting twilight satire

He tells her it’s a short runway “because it’s hard to keep a long one clear of snow or ice for any amount of time” HE’S IN THE MIDDLE OF LANDING A PLANE ATM BRO WE DON’T NEED ALL OF THAT INFO ATM

Grace is kind of funny if not a little cheesy

“Textbook landing” - maybe if that textbook is a horror novel he’s reading upside down and backwards - i don’t know if by listening to this i’m missing the line breaks and short sentences that would make this funny, so if i am lemme know but if she didn’t break this up it’s clunky

Her uncle is headmaster of the boarding school she’s being sent to

“Despite being a year younger than my own 17 years” - did you not read this out loud? Did no one hear how redundant that was?

“According to wikipedia, heeley - hailey? - has only one major road” she’s mentioned google and wikipedia at this point and idk if i’m the only one who finds that type of thing annoying af

“In weather that’s 20 degrees below freezing, if the app on my phone can be believed” THIS IS SO ANNOYING

“The insulated helmet will keep you warm as well as protect your head if we crash” yes macy we know what helmets are and also insulation, again the redundancy

CH 2: Just because you live in a tower doesn’t make you a prince

“Is that kadmere academy?” i shout - not, is that it? They’re on a snowmobile, with helmets on, and macy understood her...and she understood macy saying they’d be there in five minutes

She couldn’t google the academy

“I half expected quasimodo to be waiting for us when we got there”

It may be a castle but at least there’s no moat or dragon

Macy has short rainbow-colored hair

She’s wikipedia’d and googled her life away but didn’t expect to not be able to breathe since she’s coming from sea level and is now up in the mountains - i’m from florida and even i know what altitude sickness is

She sees a flash of red in the window “i don’t know who it is or why they even matter” ...what does that mean?

But she doesn’t see them when she looks back and she’s disappointed, which she acknowledges makes no sense…

“I should be bowing and scraping right about now”

It’s a castle with an xbox and giant flat screen, and they have wifi AND cell service up in the desolate mountains. I went to cossayuna - 476 feet above sea level, 7 miles from a town - and NONE of us had cell service the entire time

She picks up a chess piece and it’s a carved vampire, then a dragon

Then she comes face to face with the most intimidating guy i’ve ever seen, not just because he’s hot, there’s something different and powerful though i don’t have a clue what it is”

Face too intense to be beautiful, skyscraper cheekbones????, red lips, stone-cutting jaw, bottomless obsidian eyes, obscene lashes

Trapped by his stare, hypnotized by the sheer magnetism rolling off him in waves

“Annoyance flashes through me”

He’s blocking her view of anything else - did he step between her and the chess board?? Confusion, but because of this she has to look at his long lean body

“Double-wide shoulders” gross

“Nothing to do but admit that this boy is sexy AF - a little wicked, a lot wild, and all dangerous”

“Seriously, when exactly did i become the heroine of some YA romance? The new girl swooning over the hottest, most unattainable boy in school?”

CH 3: vampire queens aren’t the only ones with a nasty bite

He quotes hamlet to her, and she corrects him for fucks sake

“I warned your uncle you wouldn’t be safe here, but he obviously doesn’t like you much”

“Welcome to alaska?” “more like welcome to hell, now get the fuck out”

“Ignoring the pterodactyls flying around in my stomach” - this is a great line if it didn’t take you completely out of the action, which it does

This whole exchange about big bad monsters is soooooo fucking cliche

And he’s talking about the chess pieces the whole time????? Am confusion.

She’s so horny for this insane man screaming at her and cornering her

She says she’s lost everything that matters and he changes, his agony visible behind “layers and layers of defenses he’s erected”

It’s calling to her own agony

They're soooo connected and staring at each other

He pulls on one of her curls and it makes her super horny

“Five minutes ago he was being a total douche to me”

Pushing him is like pushing a wall of granite

He’s got a scar down half his face that she didn’t notice until now????

“A fallen angel with a bad boy vibe for miles”

She’s touching his scar…

“I don’t understand you”

AND SHE QUOTES HIM QUOTING HAMLET IN RESPONSE

CH 4: shining armor is so last century

“Mr. tall dark and surly” would be more snarky and cute if she didn’t just have an ~earth-shattering moment of connection~ with him over their agony or w/e

Some weird instinct i don’t understand tells me not to mention that guy - the amount of times this girl has acknowledged something she doesn’t understand is so redundant and weird.

She keeps referring to the guy she spent half the last chapter basically falling in insta-love with as “tall dark and surly” as if that didn’t happen, as if he was just a dick and then he left without all the insta-love shit

Uncle finn and flint is a student...couldn’t pick any other name?

“A smile in his eyes that’s as different from the other guy’s iciness as the stars just outside the windows are from the endless midnight blue of the sky” and i’ve fallen asleep while she was spinning this long unending heavy-handed metaphor

His eyes blaze with sympathy

He offers to give her a piggyback up the stairs…

“You’re so little i won’t even notice” not lyk other girls guyz

Four guys open the door and they’re all sexy AF, tall dark and surly is among them ofc

“I couldn’t help but wonder why the icy guy made me hot and the one lending me his warmth left me cold” WE GET IT WE FUCKING GET IT WE DIDN’T NEED YOU TO SPELL OUT THE ALLUSION

“I want a name to go with his insane body and even more insane face”

CH 5: things hot pink and harry styles have in common

Macy is a cinnamon roll i love her

His name is JAXON VEGA...JAXON. G2G

Macy was so nice to her that she finally starts crying because macy is the BEST

Grace puts on a harry styles t-shirt and macy is dancing around to watermelon sugar when she comes back. This book already feels dated and it came out last month

CH 6: no i don’t really want to build a snowman

She wakes up in the middle of the night thinking about jaxon and almost has a panic attack

I hope in the actual book there is a tw for panic attacks because when i see / read about the symptoms of one or a description of one it triggers one for me

She goes exploring the castle in the dark to avoid the attack

Some guys come in wearing like concert tees and ripped jeans and she wonders if they’re ghosts, like how hogwarts has ghosts

I could swear he was sniffing me which was totally bizarre and not ghostlike behavior at all - this was cringe except i was listening to it at like 2x speed so when you hear it fast it’s actually funny

The guys corner her

They say something like “show us what you can do” and they seem to smell something about her…? They’re werewolves maybe??

CH 7: Something really freaking wicked this way comes

Hate these titles sfm

“With my thin california blood, i won’t last in the snow”

Jaxon saved her ofc and makes the guys apologize

“The moon is doing its thing” they’re totally werewolves

She thanks him and he’s like “i just made you a pawn in a game” and she’s like dude what but he’s staring at her and it’s making her hot and bothered

He wipes blood of her bottom lip and sucks it off and she finds it SUPER sexy

“This isn’t like your old high school”

He whispers in her ear “you have no idea what i know” and i’m like..okay dis kinda hot or whatever

She wonders when she’ll see him again and why it matters so much to her - bitch because he makes you horny!!!! Just say that!!!!!!

CH 8: Live and let die

It’s at this point that i stopped for the first round, and i had to ask: why the FUCK didn’t macy or the headmaster tell grace that this was a school for - obviously - vampires and werewolves? Is macy one? Is it genetic? Grace is a mortal according to the back of the book.

Grace tells macy what happened minus jax

She mentions to macy the boys didn’t have cold weather gear on and macy’s like hmmm weird idk anything about that

And they’re going to a party tonight and grace is like i don’t wear makeup i only own makeup and lip gloss and i’m like...did i accidentally re-download AFTER because here we go with the NLOG syndrome

The party is a welcome party for grace - and it’s actually a high tea??? Tf?

“I’d die without netflix”

“Have you seen this show legacies? It’s about a bunch of supernatural creatures that go to a boarding school! Isn’t that silly??!”

And then macy says, “who can resist a hot vampire?”

Guys….are we SURE this isn’t satire?

“I can’t help remembering what those guys said about the moon doing its thing when i see the werewolf on the show…”

CH 9: Even hell has its factions

Omg her dress is showing off too much of her big boobs, maybe the jeans she originally wanted to wear will be better

Macy calls her beautiful and then we get a full “with my curly hair and freckles and this color eyes i’m so not beautiful, i’m wallpaper next to macy”

“We could be fashionably absent” lol

The beads on the door don’t shock grace but they shock everyone because she is NOT LIKE OTHER GIIIIIIIIRLS

This castle is goth chic baybeeeeee the light fixtures are downturned thorny black roses where can i cop these

“The pterodactyls in my stomach are now butterflies”

She says FML. did a 50 year old woman write this. Edit: i looked, i cannot find how old this author is

Velvet wallpaper, wall sconces shaped like dragons, LET ME IN

“Self-imposed isolation” lol little did she know what a phrase in the lexicon this would become in 2020

Cliques include muscular people near the windows, soft flowery delicate people in the back of the room which are macy’s friends, super-tall literally hot people in the middle, and the black-or-white money people that seem to be more formal

She says “basketball anyone??” re the tall people lol

I am going to guess: werewolves, witches, dragons??, and vampires

Macy keeps having coughing fits?

Hot redhead - simone, hot dark girl - lily, hot asian girl - gwen

“Simone’s just bitter all the guys are looking at you”

Grace loves dr. pepper so i fuck with her

Macy’s boyfriend is cam and his friend is james, who looks at her like she is food?

“I’m just not that interesting”

CH 10: turns out, the devil wears gucci

Would i have probably picked this title as well? Yes. did it make me cringe nonetheless? Fer shure.

“Do i need some jerk trying to make me his afternoon snack?” huh???? As far as you know these are normal boys...make it make sense

Jaxon makes his ENTRAAAANCE BABY

Dressed all in gucci black - she can tell from across the goddamn room

“Jaxon is anything but regular, anything but ordinary, even here among the blatantly extraordinary”

Icy blank stare soooooo much

She calls his voice low wicked and wild

She can’t stop thinking about “running my tongue over the perfect bow of his upper lip, dragging is lower lip between my teeth”

Idk where these thoughts are coming from!!!! Baby you 17 c’mon now

I try to think of anything else, snow!

She takes a drink and it goes down the wrong pipe lmaoooo

“At least if i find a bathroom i can die in peace” lol

But he touches her and she stops choking and she’s like “he couldn’t have stopped that, i know, but…”

He stares at her as he bites the strawberry and she takes it as a threat

CH 11: in the library, no one can hear you scream

“His moods change more quickly than my bffs instafeed” I -

Oh so NOW she’ll say “the fuck you in his eyes” but she was saying freaking and eff before...did her publisher tell her only x amount of fucks per book?

She goes into the library and her body is like RUN, but she ignores it…

There are beautiful gargoyles and ornate shelves and...stickers fucking everywhere?

The gargoyle is pointing to an secret room that says students needs permission, but she hears chanting and decides to check it out since it might be one of the native languages spoken in alaskaaaaaaaaaa

“Especially because some of them only have less than 4,000 speakers left in the world” okay gracie-pedia tf?

CH 12: it’s all fun and games until someone loses their life

She meets a girl named Leah - who was the one chanting

Okay but i do fuck with the horror movie quote pillows…

Damn leah’s boyfriend died…

“Tea from homemade leaves” again...read this out loud before you put it in a published novel...do you mean loose leaves? Do you mean homegrown leaves?

Is she gonna poison her????

“What do you guys have to lie about that’s so important?” “Everything”

CH 13: just bite me

“Lol jk”

“Finish your drink” BITCH IT’S POISON

Macy and leah are being soooo weird about what could have happened to grace on her own

Apparently leah is super popular and secretive so it’s weird she took to grace so fast - is this a NLOG sitch or a “come into my web little fly” sitch?

She pukes because of “altitude sickness” aka poisoning i bet

CH 14: knock knock knocking on death’s door

This theme of bastardization of guns and roses songs is really....something.

Grace takes a mental health day because she’s still feeling weird

Flint comes to check on her and invite her to a snowball fight…?

If your character’s name is grace, i feel like you can’t use gracefully as an adjective, the same way you wouldn’t say Rue said something ruefully.

Flint kisses her cheek and i’m already waiting for this Great Value Edward/Jacob triangle

But he makes her feel ~nothing~ compared to jaxon

CH 15: so hell actually can freeze over

Macy likes flint, uh-oh

But the different groups don’t mix

“What is this, mean girls alaska edition?” - stfu

Omg her uncle checks on her and he reminds her of her dad and :(

We get sooooooo much detail about how to dress to go out into the wilderness...here is one thing i was able to find out: tracy wolff lives in texas. So i feel like she did ALL this research and then was like y’all gonna LEARN ABOUT THIS I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME!

As a girl who has never ever seen snow, i felt this fascination

She finds a gnarled up weird tree guarding a trail

“A weird sense that i should turn around - like the feeling in the library - came over me but i knew i was just being silly”

The lack of survival instinct henny

She comes across a gazebo where leah and jaxon are sitting

CH 16: sometimes keeping your enemies close is the only thing that prevents hypothermia

That’s not a chapter title, it’s an entire sentence…

Ooh they’re having an angry, intimate convo

And leah slaps him!!

“They’re looking at me like they’re the predators and i’m the prey they can’t wait to sink their teeth into” we get it, first of all. Second of all, what is with the long-winded metaphors

“Every time i catch sight of him i feel something tug at me i can’t identify, something i have no ability to explain” it’s horniness.

Then she just leaves but he catches up to her

With his sexy af hair blowing

“Trying to run away from all the thing he makes me feel when really i just want to grab on to him and hold on tight” - so what is the truth?! You keep acting like you don’t know what the feeling is but clearly, YOU DO.

“Everyone answers to me, eventually.” - we found the line used in the adverts guys!

Oh my god, what an asshat. Asshole, i would have laughed. Asshat is stupid.

It’s annoying af

Doing my best dory impression: just keep walking

“Making friends with a dr - a guy like flint” CALLED IT, he’s a dragon

Leah’s boyfriend was jaxon’s brother

Neither leah nor jaxon was wearing a jacket. BOOM

CH 17: it’s discretion, not diamonds, that’s a girl’s best friend

Not only cringe but grammatically incorrect…she coulda just said “discretion is a girl’s best friend” and we woulda got the reference….

Grace mentions jaxon in front of macy and she’s supes weird and grace is FINALLY like wtf is the secret you’re hiding from me

“She looks at me like i’m a few snowflakes short of a snowball” SOMEONE. READ THIS OUT LOUD. WHERE IS HER EDITOR I JUST WANNA TALK.

The order?! “Just a nickname for the popular boys” bullSHIT

Macy FREAKS OUT when she realizes grace has been alone with jaxon

She says he was interesting and “macy looks at me like i said i wanted to bodysurf the alaskan tundra”

Macy “We’re talking about jaxon right? Arrogance of a rock star?”

She didn’t mention “the scar that turns him from to pretty sexy af, and scary af”

“He’s not the one who tried to kill me” “you’ve only been here a few days, give it time” get her MACY!

HE WAS LISTENING!!!!

CH 18: how many hot guys does it take to win a snowball fight?

Ooh jaxon mad that grace is going to flint’s snowball fight

“His breath is so warm and soft that i can feel it everywhere, even deep inside” okay you horny bitch!!!!! Was this cringe or did i like it or both?

“The orange and dark water scent of him” ...what? Dark water is a cologne? Or does she literally mean like the dark water of the ocean? What in confusion

Her throat is always tight and dry around him, all the time, every day

Flint pops up and he is wearing a dragon beanie…

The rest of the order shows up and “For the first time the phrase got your back makes sense” to grace...are you kidding me? You never understood a very simple common phrase til now? Sure jan

SEXUAL TRIANGLE TENSIOOOOOOOOON

But she only has eyes for Jaxon...they both reach to touch each other.

“Grace” it’s barely a whisper but i feel it all the way inside myself BITCH

“Something tells me this boy and his world famous disappearing act is going to be the death of me”

CH 19: we came, we fought, i froze

Civil twilight AGAIN.

“I didn’t think screwed up and obnoxious was your type” me-OW

The snowball fight happens

Sounds like fun, the designer faction isn’t there

“Did she just do parkour against that tree?” re: Macy so close to being funny. I did exhale through my nose. Then “did you just parkour that tree?” i DID laugh

Flint climbs the tree with grace over his shoulder ‘like spider man’ and all i can think is “you better hold on tight spider monkey”

The wind is so strong it knocks her out of the tree…

CH 20: there’s never a parachute around when you need one

Flint catches her in mid-air...this man… #teamflint2020

“You’re heavier than you look” dead

He has shame in his eyes? Why?

Because JAXON IS THERE AND HE IS MAD!

And flint is SUPER MAD!!!!!!!

Jaxon puts himself between grace and flint so grace can’t touch flint

“Can i just say i’m feeling a lot like alice in wonderland here? Things get curiouser and curiouser.” stfu

I was laughing because she was like “so much for fitting in, now i might as well be painted biohazard orange” but then she said fml. Stfu

Jaxon picks her up

CH 21: I like standing on my own two feet, but getting swept off them feels surprisingly good, too

If it takes up more than one line of a google docs page IT’S NOT A FUCKING CHAPTER TITLE!!!!!

Ooh and his arms feel really good around her, REALLY good

Now he smells like orange and snow and it’s making her crazy

Macy looks at them like she’s getting punk’d

“Grace.” “what?” “shut up.” i’m dead

“I sprained my ankle, i’m not dying of consumption” “yeah well, the night is young” this made me lol despite it being more of macy’s voice than jaxon’s

Jaxon is blaming grace for falling? “You don’t see macy falling out of her tree” is he negging her rn?

She’s called him super-sexy twice in a paragraph

Macy goes to get ice bc she’s scared of Jaxon and grace says, “Et tu, brute?” lmaooo

“I can do it myself” “maybe i wanna do it for you” and macy squeaks LMAO

His scar makes his smile a crooked little smirk...who else had a crooked smirk...the vampire this is 1000% based on, maybe?

“I find myself relaxing despite myself” guys. Reading is power. Read your work out loud so you can hear when you use the same word twice in a sentence, like this.

“My whole body lights up like the aurora borealis i’m still dying to see”

They almost kiss but don’t bc macy comes back

"With an auspicious and a dropping eye, with mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage" -Hamlet act 1 scene 2

So Hamlet right, I must have rewatched Hamlet (the Mel Gibson version, frankly about 5 times already... passed over the last week on the Hulus and will continue to do so because uuuhhh idk, maybe its that I've recognized that it is the adult version of The Lion King story but also I really think I love how prolific it is) Hamlet jr. not Hamlet the 👻 phantom or Danny phantom uh wrong show... the former Royal Dane deceased, rest in piece oh no but he can't because he did not recieve penance from a clergyman in his untimely, MURDEROUS death! Claudius you murderous bitch >:^0 Yes not that Hamlet but his predecessor baby Hamlet, like baby Jesus but with more vigor and spite. Hamlet. is. hilarious. here. (I can't get enough, its 🍠👈 hamalicous... think thats a yam 👀) suave precursor I got to say, I love Glenn Close, I love Helena Bonham Carter. I think they are what make the movie fantastic. Trust. look up the scenes with 👑 Queen Gertrude and Ophelia respectively and you'll see why ! The 1996 unabridged version is the more preferred version without precedent because it has the whole script inside of it hence the movie being 4. hrs. long. Nevertheless both are great, casting never failed to recant an epic tale on either end.

The quote I have up there meant a lot to me while revisiting the scene, so as not to equate the act of balking at the sight of seeing an incestuous impart of a heart's desire im going to consider that this was the Golden Ages of England where Arts 🎨 flourished and thespians 🃏 ran the streets like love infested 🐕puppies, the poor little damned men. oh and Theaters flourished too. >:^) Too many concepts, ideas, perceptions were elucidated. Out in the open came things to be discussed about, written about, accepted or dismantled. William Shakespeare I guess you're somewhat bearable. im joking omg bad joke he was a great man ?! So yeah technically one of the spouses is dead...oh define dead ? hm not today. This is also supposed to 🐝 the age of like chivalry but it's not because this script goes along the lines of people wanting instant gratification which is really more today's speed you know 2019 rise and grind (which is doing wonders for me because I'm literally waking up rising and grinding !!! my teeth you fools, pay me no mind. yay to the victorious 👏 round of applause, I love you, my babies who don't give up and if you do that's okay ! you have plenty of time to recover "the air bites shrewdly" you rest and eat from the berries 🍓 my angel) right so Hamlet after his encounter with the ghost ceaselessly bruised in his mind implies how noxious matters are in his kingdom. He says in a few lines about his mother Queen Gertrude, "pernicious woman" or "weak thy name is woman" not to say this all falls on the head of women. no no no. this is really about humanity not waiting around for the smoke to clear. Why is there smoke in the first place !? Do not adhere to that smoke ! I pick at phrases such as Young Wild & Free for examplar and whilst I do like what it can offer (picture me as a 🐴🐎 horse speedily running along the mounds and ranges of grass in a very rural and green place) to be Young Wild & Free in some regards I do lend myself to those ideals some... whilst being Young Wild & Free it's more like young... wild... and not so congruently free... a lot of things take a lot of processing and take a lot of pondering that leads to possible notions of true freedom. though are we free? Maybe covertly so but everything is backwards. Lest the quote goes I am mourning the decision to marry hastily to someone that is forbidden unto me and I celebrate in the funeral of my familiar who I cherished. bitch. what. the. fuck. If only you'd seen the snake in your garden Gertrude, now you are like them feeble and blind. No one is really 😇 innocuous in these situations, there is no good or bad just humans being humans. But you will be judged unconditionally. whether you think it is through God or a higher power, dang it their already a monarchy ! 🌎 Earthly or NOT from Earth 👽 all of it is temporal but the actions deliver resonance, they loom over for a time and then they don't, but then again, they might come back to set up camp, still there is significance in that. Its like exhuming the bodies of people who spectated the interactions around them, you know the ones you can pick out from literature and books, those people who took time to write it all down... maybe there are those who created their own monologue in their heads to justify the means on their own in secrecy (i mean yeah there are the deep thinkers but to know that they think deeply and that it may not ever be discovered or known the thoughts that they carried is fucking disheartening)... its almost catholic in a sense that you are on your lonesome stark at night or in daylight, twilight.... what have you! and your thoughts are finally your own. but with books and literature its boding to know that expressions can live longer than spoken words. yeah maybe they found solace in that. Mirth and dirge... how can both be mixed, how can both be intertwined in uncongenial components ? I don't understand it. If there is something still unresolved that ruminates in your heart make it salient that you find a resolve for you, by you. Good night sweet prince. Adieu ~

It Takes Practice

See below: a completely self indulgent fluff fic based off of this AU**. @rubatosiis for reasons

It had felt like a dream, when they'd actually met at last. Twelve years of nothing but unbelievable interaction- he'd been told for years that he was insane, there was no Prompto; Prompto was just a figment of his imagination, his method of coping from the accident as a child. Prompto was a voice, a hallucination, and he needed to let him go. No prince would be able to properly serve his kingdom by giving credence to a voice in his head, be it comforting or not.

But college arrived and with it, so did the proof- a laugh from across the field, the abrupt realization that he'd been heard by that person. And tearing through the courtyard, he'd seen: he was there. He was real. They could finally spend time together, not just pouring over the same book, not just looking at the same sky, not just commiserating about assignments and the unfairness of their teenage years together. There was proximity; there was an intimacy to it. And it made all of his uncertainty, everything he'd been feeling, but unable to reason or articulate for so long.... so real as well.

Frankly, that scared Noctis more than he was willing to admit.

"I love you."

Lucky that he was deaf. Prompto continued his work, leaned with his hand in his surprisingly mussed hair and glaring at the laptop screen as if it had wronged him. He was editing... something. If he asked Noctis, that sure did look like any other tree that he could have chosen from the courtyard, but apparently it was a piece. He was kind of grateful Prompto didn't ask him to weigh in on this sort of thing. Instead, he just watched Prompto grumble and mutter incoherently. Noctis flipped his pen in his hand, all thought of matrices and getting his homework done before the midnight deadline forgotten.

"I love you."

It wasn't said with real vigor, no major inflection in his tone. It was just stated like a fact, like a line delivered by a teenager attempting to navigate Hamlet for the first time. Uncertain, unsteady, experimental, the words rolled off his tongue with a look of scrutiny, as if he were weighing them on his tongue. He'd said these same words to so many others. Ignis, one of his greatest friends, albeit his adviser, had heard him say it ( ruefully, sometimes with a lilt of sarcasm, but sincere no less ). Gladio, who was totally not his bodyguard ( but would be some day ).... okay no, he'd never said it to Gladio. That just wasn't their dynamic. But it was understood- as much as Gladio would sacrifice for him, Noctis would do the same, even if they sometimes got along as well as bricks and dynamite.

"I love you."

His father had heard him say it probably upwards of a million times, if he had to take a guess. Every time he hung up the phone, his father would say it, to which he would respond in kind. It was a habit, a ritual, a morbidly unspoken assurance that if something should happen to one of them, that would be their parting words. Such was the way for a Crown family, but also for a family that had experienced such tragedy in the previous years.

And yet for all of the times he had said it... why did it feel weird to say it to Prompto? Why did it feel like his mouth turned to cotton, like his words were not his own? Platonic 'I love you's should roll off the tongue, be as flippant as the weather. He'd seen people, even guys, do it. True, it was usually punctuated with a jab and a laugh, but it happened no less. So then...

"I love you."

... are you sayin' something, Noct?

Noctis froze, noticing for the first time that Prompto had looked up, quirked a brow. Had he noticed? Had he seen-- crap he could read lips sometimes, had he-- panic, panic, panic!- Noctis said a little too loud, "I uh-- I need to vacuum. Do you mind?"

A moment of pause. .... Now? Prompto just shrugged, gave a tired smile. Won't bother me. He tapped his head with his finger. A little focused. Just lemme know if you need something.

Y-yeah.

As Prompto turned away, he exhaled, practically wilting into the chair. That was way too close. But why did it matter? Why did his heart leap into his throat at the prospect of Prompto seeing? It was true- he loved him. He... he loved...

He needed to find the vacuum...

ii.

He'd started viewing it as practice, after a time. Trying to slip it casually into dialogue that he knew Prompto wouldn't see, or saying it as he left a room- out loud, so that it would escape his notice. A few weeks, now, he'd been doing this, and yet it still didn't sit right. Why... For someone he'd known for so long, someone who knew him so well and gave him no allowances for his station, telling him how important he was to him should have been easy.

"I love you." he announced as Prompto strolled by, whistling again of all things.

You know the fact that you can still flawlessly whistle the Chocobo song despite not hearing it is kind of baffling.

Prompto gave a small, chirping laugh, and Noctis's heart turned over in his chest. Yeah well, it was my favorite as a kid. Probably drove Mom nuts with it. Guess it's muscle memory?

You're doing it to spite me.

What you don't like chocobos?

The look of horror outweighed the gravity of the situation, and Noctis rolled his eyes. No, you dork. He peeked down at his book. He was on the w's... He held his thumb to his lips, putting up his first and pinky finger and feigning to blow into them. Whistling.

He saw that, Prompto- the little twinkle he got in his eyes when he signs something correctly, the way that his lips quirk, but just on the right side of his face as if he's trying not to be too excited by it. And Noctis couldn't help but return it despite his mild irritation. He never could figure out how to whistle.

Another laugh, and Prompto turned away again. I could teach you.

Take the chance-- "I love you." Nope, still not right...

The blond turned around. What's not right?

Shit- Noctis looked back down to the book and reclined in such a way that he hid his eyes. Th-that you can whistle and not me. C'mon, where's that get fair?

And now Prompto was the one for eye rolling. He strode over, laptop under his arm as he flopped down beside him. He leaned his back against Noctis's shoulder, flipping it open. In what world is it fair that you have an Audi at nineteen?

This one.

Then give me whistling.

... touché , bitch.

Prompto laughed again, lightly elbowing him. You've got a foul mouth.

Coming from you?

.... touché , jerk.

"I love you."

...... he'd just have to keep practicing.

iii.

He supposed he hadn't meant it as a joke that first day, that Prompto could stay in his apartment. His reasoning was that, as the Farmer Scholar, he'd gotten his own room. That didn't change that the room was made for two people- a suite with a kitchen, and far too much room for him. And well... Noctis had never much cared for being alone anyway. But he'd also let it be known that there were two beds. So how did they always end up like this?

The movie wasn't even good. Noctis fortunately always had on subtitles anyway, and Prompto was absolutely rapt in the going's on. It was... some kind of vampire drama. He'd never really been into that sort of occult thing, but at least the blond seemed interested. Noctis peered over.

"I love you...?"

Still sounded off. It'd been a couple of months, and he still.. couldn't get it... Frankly it was starting to frustrate him. How long did he have to rehearse...?

Something up?

.... and he'd been glaring at Prompto. Noctis blinked, a bit embarrassed, then looked back at the screen. Your movie sucks.

Prompto puffed his cheeks, and Noctis couldn't help the smirk. Hey, it's a classic!

A classic what, flop?

No!

Then how is it a classic. It looks recent.

Jeez, didn't you pick up a book before? Carmilla an older vampire tale than even Dracula.

And you know that. Color me impressed.

Color you rude.

Ouch. My pride.

Agreed to disagree, then, and Prompto crossed his arms over his chest. He turned his eyes back to the screen. With a chuckle, Noctis slid an arm over his shoulder and tugged him closer. Hey, no pouting.

Did Prompto get warmer? His shoulders seemed tense, but Noctis wasn't going to look. Maybe his room was just warm. Noctis kept his eyes on the screen.

... h-... hey, Noct?

Hmm?

He looked over. Prompto still wasn't looking at him. Cocking a brow, he asked, What is it?

... N... Nevermind. I'll tell you later.

Aww, c'mon, don't do that. He actually kind of hated when people did that stutter-start thing with conversations, but... he hunkered down beside Prompto, squeezing his shoulder a little. Fine, just don't forget.

Don't worry. I could never.

Noctis smiled and muttered, "I love you." Prompto laid his head on his shoulder.

He'd just have to keep practicing.

iv.

I wanna teach you something.

It was freezing, Noctis was cramming for finals, and Prompto, who was in none of his classes, wanted to teach him something. Noctis looked up from his book, a look of befuddled disbelief on his face.

... now?!

That was some very emphatic nodding going on, Prompto. It was almost worrying- would he get whiplash, nodding like that? He supposed it was possible. Noctis leaned up, gesturing for Prompto to sit across from him. The photographer, instead, slid into the chair beside him, pulling up to sit in front of Noctis with a determined expression. Noctis, in turn, retreated with a small scream of chair legs on linoleum. What had gotten in to him...?

Prompto reached over, taking a deep breath as he took Noctis's hand. It's a sign. he advised. Here, this one. It's important, don't forget it. Delicately, almost with trepidation, Prompto bent in Noctis's ring and middle finger, pushing the others to extend. He held up the sign himself. Like this!

Noctis lifted his hand, looking at the sign. This one he kinda recognized, but... What is it? And why was it so important that he had to learn it this second?

... and why was Prompto absolutely scarlet? It only showed worse against the light, heather gray of his sweater, his freckles all but vanishing in the flush. He opened his mouth, and Noctis quirked a brow. "I-.." And his eyes widened. Was Prompto trying to talk?

He dropped the sign, waving his hands. You don't have to say it, dude-

Yes I do!

Prompto's eyes squeezed shut, and Noctis swore he could see the start of frustrated tears. His heart sank. What was this? He reached out, placing a hand on Prompto's shoulder. Hey, it's--

"I- I love you--"

Noctis froze. The words were halting, almost stumbled over- it was how Prompto spoke, and one of the reasons he tended not to. He hadn't been able to hear since he was six; it'd be hard to replicate sounds from that long ago. And yet... had he just....

Prompto wasn't looking at him. ... that's... what it means... I...

... you son of a bitch.

Prompto's eyes snapped open, horror rinsing over him as if someone had turned the shower to arctic on him. Noctis, however, was smirking with a wolfish confidence. Well, this wasn't so difficult now-

He reached over, wrapping a hand carefully around Prompto's neck as he pulled him in. Prompto probably looked as alarmed as ever, and Noctis's heart swelled and hammered between the anxiousness and excitement of the moment. But he didn't pull away- that was what was important as Noctis pressed his lips to Prompto's. He didn't pull away.

When they did part, Noctis let out a small laugh. He pressed his forehead to Prompto's. ... do you have any idea how long I've been working on that?

And now he'd been beaten. Practice, it seemed, didn't always make perfect.

** As children, both Noctis and Prompto were left comatose, Noctis from a major car accident, Prompto from illness. The illness left Prompto deaf, while Noctis went through major therapy to regain his ability to walk. Through this time, he and Prompto, who had met through this coma, bonded, spoke mentally to one another. Both vehemently defended that the other was real, but had doubts. It wasn’t until the two actually met in college that their doubts were abated and their true relationship could bloom.

If I had a nickel for every time @nymini has tagged me in something while I’ve been away from tumblr for a week visiting my grandparents, I’d have 15 cents. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened three times.

Anyway: answer all questions, add one question of your own, and tag as many people as there are questions (haha, nope)

1. Coke or pepsi: Both are gross

2. Disney or dreamworks: Disney

3. Coffee or tea: Tea

4. Books or movies: Books

5. Windows or Mac: Windows (I don’t actually care, but I’ve been using windows too long to use something else. Whenever I have to use a mac there’s always 10 minutes of experimental button hitting)

6. DC or marvel: Marvel

7. Xbox or PlayStation: Playstation (I guess. I usually just play games on my laptop, because I dislike spending money and like not having to pack up and move extra things)

8. Dragon age or mass effect: Dragon Age monopolizes 80% of my waking thoughts, and 82% of my sleeping ones.

9. Night owl or early riser: Night Owl

10. Cards or chess: Cards

11. Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate

12. Vans or converse: Neither? I have shitty feet that always hurt, I need my plain unfashionable padded sneakers. I like the way converse look, though

13. Lavellan , Trevelyan, Cadash or Adaar: I find Adaar’s backstory the most interesting, and nothing will ever top being fuckoff huge.

14. Fluff or angst: Why not both? That’s not me being difficult (well it kinda is...), I honestly feel like both are kinda... too much (?) by themselves? A story needs a little of both to be truly great.

15. Beach or forest: Forest in theory, beach in practice

16. Dogs or cats: I like both, but dogs.

17. clear skies or rain: Am I inside or outside?

18. cooking or eating out: I usually cook, but prefer eating out.

19. spicy food or mild food: Mild. I am terrible with spicy food, even by White Girl Standards.

20. halloween/samhain or solstice/yule/christmas: Halloween, which would be the answer even if Hanukkah was on the list.

21. Would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot: A little too cold

22. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Magic. That’s all the superpowers rolled into one.

23. animation or live action: Animation

24. paragon or renegade: Paragon, with a few exceptions (you gotta barbecue those krogans. you just gotta)

25. baths or showers: Baths

26. team cap or team iron man: TEAM CAP ALL THE WAY BITCHES

27. fantasy or sci-fi: Fantasy

28. Do you have three or four favorite quotes? if so what are they: Limiting this to four is physically painful, but:

It is a humiliating confession, but we are all of us made out of the same stuff. In Falstaff there is something of Hamlet, in Hamlet there is not a little of Falstaff. The fat knight has his moods of melancholy, and the young prince his moments of coarse humour. Where we differ from each other is purely in accidentals: in dress, manner, tone of voice, religious opinions, personal appearance, tricks of habit and the like. The more one analyses people, the more all reasons for analysis disappear. Sooner or later one comes to that dreadful universal thing called human nature. - Oscar Wilde

Who is wise? One who learns from all people. - Simeon ben Zoma

Make sure you remember: every person and place has a right to exist. It’s true for you, too. The entire world as a whole is your home. - Mushishi

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more. - Erica Jong

(ok, one more) Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. - Marie Curie

(”And Yet It Moves” would be number one on the list if it actually happened)

29. netflix or youtube: Netflix

30. harry potter or percy jackson: Harry Potter

31. when you feel accomplished: When I finally finish something I really, really didn’t want to do

32. star wars or star trek: Star Wars

33. paperback or hardback: I don’t really have an opinion, but hardcover. Why not.

34. horror or rom-com: Horror, as long as it isn’t gory.

35. tv shows or movies: Movies, provided I’m allowed to pause and come back to it later

36. spotify or pandora: Neither

37. zootopia or inside out: I haven’t seen either one of these movies

38. favorite book: Guards, Guards, and John Dies at the End

39. favorite flower: Roses, and wildflowers that grow in unexpected places

40. what field of study are you in (or aspire to be in): Mechanical Engineering

41. song lyric you really love? “If I could begin to be, half of what you think of me, I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love,” “Little old lady got mutilated late last night,” and the entirety of Hallelujah

42. what’s your MBTI type? Dont know Just took the test for the first time, got INFP

43. fave movie: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

44. favorite tv show(s): The Simpsons. It doesn’t matter what bullshit it pulls, it will always be number one.

45. top three authors: JK Rowling (see above), George RR Martin (see left), Terry Pratchett

46. favorite season? Fall

47. favorite high school musical? The first one was the least bad

48. silver or gold? Silver

49. favorite food? Roast chicken and potatoes

50. dream vacation? Paris, but I don’t have to interact with any French people.

51. last dream you remember? Even when I remember my dreams, they’re gone by the end of the day.

52. city or country: City, but that will very likely change after I live in one for the first time

53. Slow burn or love at first sight: Slow burn. I do believe in love at first sight in real life (or at least prophetic jolts), but it’s super boring in stories.

54. What’s your favorite animal? Wolves
