Ya'll heard of disabled!Nightmare but may I interest you with some mute!Horror (And additionnal headcanons) ?

@unknownchoatic if you want to take a look into my interpretation of the disabled AU 👀👉🏻👈🏻

Horror isn't totally mute, it's more like aphasia than mutism, which means he has trouble speaking and finding the right words and is practically incapable of forming a full sentence, he also has trouble reading and, by extent, writing.

He became aphasic after Undyne's spear impaled his skull, which obviously caused a lot of brain damage and particularly in the area in charge of the speech, reading and all.

When he joined the bad sanses nobody noticed his struggles at first, they already had Dust who didn't talk much (he isn't mute, just doesn't talk a lot) so they thought he was just the silent type like him. But it soon became clear there was a broblem when he started mixing up words whenever he tried to speak, couldn't decipher written instructions or struggled to write his reports.

However they first thought that maybe he didn't know how to read/write, but it wasn't logical as he was still a Sans, so that meant he was a scientific in his youth, that he must have known how to read and write, so the problem might have been something else entirely.

Surprisingly it was Killer who came up with the first hypothesis, one of which was that Horror was dyslexic, which was close, but not quite that. After some time and researches they eventually managed to find out he was aphasic.

At that point Dust took the responsibility to teach everyone sign language, since he was the only one knowing it at the time, so that Horror could communicate easier and the others would understand him. He still has troubles sometimes with hand placement but he can now communicate !

As for the instructions, Nightmare gave him a magnetophone so he can hear them rather than read them. For the reports it's usually Killer or Dust who write them for him, he signs what he wants them to write and they translate.

On the fluffy side, they sometimes read him stories since he cannot read them himself.

Now for the additionnal headcanons that have nothing to do with disability:

- he likes woodcarving, he often sculpts little animals and give them to each member of the gang (including Nightmare) to show his affection towards them, they are very pretty !

- he cannot see pictures in his mind, I don't know how to describe it but like when he thinks about an apple, for exemple, he doesn't see an apple in his mind, he has the concept, the word, he knows what it looks like and can describe it but he just doesn't visualize it. Same when he sleeps, his dreams are made of sounds and sometimes shades of lights, but no images (aphantasia)

- his pupil will round up like a cat when he sees something or someone he likes

- he's very strong physically but very weak when it comes to magic because his magic had to adapt in his world in order to keep him alive, he has a strong immune system due to that but struggles a lot with magic attacks such as creating bones, blasters or simply teleporting, that is why he mainly uses his axe. Also due to his weak magic he needs to have a balance between food and sleep, if he doesn't sleep or eat properly he will pass out and won't wake up until his body regained enough energy, sometimes it's only a few hours but if he pushed his limits too far it can last a few days

Is sparxshipping toxic?

I’m not sure what sparxed it but I just started to think about the, debatably, infamous ship between Bloom and Valtor. And while this is a strange post to suddenly come back with (hah, assuming I even stay active after this) I might as well ride the sudden jump in interest.

Also, take this as a revision to my past (cringey) opinion on the ship. Quite honestly, I need to revisit a lot of those older posts (should I call them editorials? analysis maybe? Idfk I’ll come up with a name for them later) Dear God, they are so bad and poorly thought out urghhh

Anyways...

To start us off, what is sparxshipping?

Sparxshipping is the romantic pairing between protagonist Bloom and villain Valtor (Baltor in some versions). I will not be referring to season 8, mostly cause I don’t care for it, and partly cause I honestly forgot what even happened 💀

We meet Valtor in season 3, where he’s trying to steal various forms of magic from the different kingdoms in the magic dimension. Throughout this season we learn that he was made, by using the Dragon Flame, by the three ancestral witches to destroy Domino. Obviously making him more to Bloom, than just another villain.

Why do people ship them?

Well, there’s the obvious. They fit the enemies to lover dynamic to a T. And because Valtor is basically a blank slate of a villain, like many of the villains in Winx, it’s easy to develop his character and story in a more sympathetic---and eventually, romantic---way. Speaking of which, it’s easy to assume that he’s never been shown to love, be affectionate, or really anything healthy or positive cause again, cartoon villain guy. And that, Bloom serves as an opportunity, not only for redemption, but to properly learn to show and give love.

They are very contrasting personalities, but have very similar mindsets---just used in different ways. Valtor is suave, calculated, and charming. Bloom is stubborn, headstrong, and optimistic. The both of them are overly dedicated, impatient, confident, and the lead in their groups.

Throughout the season, Valtor seems to have an interest in Bloom, to the point of sparing her continuously. Even his henchma’ams took notice (honestly when Icy said he was strangely obsessed with Bloom and then he just uno reversed that shit, really giving me Icy x Bloom X Valtor vibes ngl). He even offered for them to takeover together, to share the power he stole. And without context, yeah, you could see how that can be taken as romantic, to a degree. But you cannot forget that he’s a huge manipulator and, like making a deal with the devil, he will give you what you want for a price.

Why is it so toxic?

The first thing that comes to most people’s minds, is the age gap. And to be fair, I also used to thing there was a disgustingly large age gap between the two. They were really giving Edward & Bella vibes, if you know what I mean. But the truth is, they are about the same age. Honestly, I blame the art-style for making him look much older and Bloom the same as when she was 16.

Think about it, Valtor was made around the same time Bloom was born in order to destroy Domino. By definition they are the same or of a similar age. The thing about that though is, does that alleviate the power imbalance he could have over her?

There are various forms of power imbalances, the only ones I could think of that are applicable to these two is power, age, and experience. Age and experience are not the same thing, you don’t magically earn experience for being a certain age you aren’t literally leveling up lol.

For age, no, there is no power imbalance. As stated, they are practically the same age.

For experience, this is an interesting one. Since we really don’t know much about Valtor, we have no idea if he had to mentally develop the same way any born being would. It puts into question his experience. Cause while there are absolutely things he knows that Bloom does not, he’s also been “raised’ a certain way, therefore all he knows could be a very narrow mindset or form of knowledge. At the very least, he has the mental capacity and know how to manipulate people and take advantage of others. So, while it’s still debatable how much of a power imbalance this puts them at, he has the capability to control her and it really falls upon the writing, for how they deal with that.

Now power, I mean this mostly in terms of magic, but I’ll also try to touch on influence and physical means of power. Though they share the same source of power---which is part of what makes them shippable, their whole two sides of the same coin dynamic (which is arguably Icy and Bloom’s dynamic)---he abuses his power. But he means to horde knowledge to become more powerful and if he had succeeded, there would be nothing Bloom could do to stop him. I feel like the implications there are obvious. And to take it a different direction. Let’s say he does have all this power and Bloom inevitably caves and basks in it as well. There’s still an imbalance, because of potential entitlement & shaming Valtor might use to hold this gift over her head. Or simply that he fully controls her abilities and therefore a lot of her autonomy.

Now physically, he is a big dude capable of using his strength to force what he wants. Don’t get me wrong, just because you’re stronger than someone does not mean there’s an imbalance of power, just that, in that aspect, you do have power over someone and it comes down to morale. And given Valtor’s pitch poor morality, paired with his physical means, there is absolutely an imbalance in power. Albeit I don’t think he’s one to force his way physically, but only because it’s not as satisfying as tricking others--he’s like Naraku really.

Lastly, influence. This is definitely the least impactful. At least as he is in the series. His influence would only become an issue after taking over the world. He has all this control over everything and everyone, what is stopping him from doing that to Bloom or holding his status over her?

And probably the most important part. He kinda uhhhh, killed her parents. Yeah. Okay, technically he didn’t kill them. Just turned them to stone to forever be in between life and death, never truly being able to do either. Mhm. He also partook in the destruction of her home and, presumably, turning Daphne into a spirit.

In conclusion...

Now I don’t hate sparxshipping, not anymore at least. But as it stands in canon, yes, it’s pretty problematic. Though it’s not impossible to get around these issues, and any others I potentially missed (don’t blame me it’s been a while since I’ve watched). With some solid planning and writing, a dash of canon-divergence, and perhaps a touch of “fix-it” it is possible to make this ship not only romantic but also enjoyably healthy. On the flipside, there’s nothing wrong with writing about a toxic relationship, just be careful how you write it and what you may indirectly be implying through your writing.

Oh and if it’s an AU it’s basically fair game, an all you can eat buffet, a pile of gold, the jackpot, the crackpot, the...

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Okay, very well >:)

This is mostly how would they look and I can pretty say that Luffy, Zoro and Sanji in the crew have A LOT of scars of different types. And I'm too damn flustered to draw Nami and Robin because they would JUST BEAUTIFUL-

And I don't know yet how would Franky and Chopper would look but I do have some clues.

This is more like a practice of drawing Luffy because- I can be wrong but as far I know , pirates actually prefered do not drink any alcohol or/and throw a big loud parties because that alcohol's kick can make the crewmates less aware of the possible danger around and won't be able to defend the ship properly.

Usually , only beyond feared and truly powerful pirate crews could , first - afford themselfs a real good drink and second - make parties where ans when desired 'cause only really big and powerful marine ships and another pirate crew like them would try to fight them.

About the Devil fruits. In the AU exist as an Forbidden fruits of the Devil except - you cannot find them in the treasure chests or in another pirate crew/marine bases , or even steal it. You only either buy one (that is mostly how pirates get it but not always successfully 'cause they might be scammed with a colored regular fruit) or you can inherit it from killing then consuming the blood of the previous user.

However , the thing about it being Forbidden is that you can't not consume it. Either away or another , once you found it - you must eat it or it will take your ability to swim as of you dared to reject such an offer of the Devil.

Now about the Strawhats specifically. They aren't truly monsters but they are also would indeed be terrifying and cruel.

Luffy as a captain would be rumored as insane and would be feared by not only pirates and marines but also people from the different parts of the world. He would be famous for not killing his enemies but breaking them in the literal sense. Every single one of them that was against him or his crew ― has either absent limbs or broked bones that are beyond repair.

Zoro would be known for scarring and disfiguring his enemies. The sheer and raw strength and durability that he has would make his sword style absolutely vicious. He is also most feared by both marine , pirates and by other people but as an man that uses nothing but ― his strength , BIO , speed and swords. Moreover , every single enemy compare to Luffy is never left alive unless Luffy himself asks him not to. And every one of them that are left alive ― has an great amout of scars on their back , stomach and around the face.

I don't know if I should tell about the others but this most of it. :")

THESE ARE SO COOL

Luffy especially looks great! I would say the rumors about him being insane are true though, Luffy is batshit insane on a good day lmao

Idk what you have planned for Franky, but maybe he could be something like an illusionist? Kinda like Oz from the wizard of oz where everyone thinks he's this magical powerful entity when in reality he's just got a lot of nifty contraptions. Just an idea lol

If you want to share more then I'm definitely listening!

At boys with s/o painted them?

MC: You look beautiful that time so I painted you!

Alpheratz: He knows that taking a picture would have been quicker, but he will not mention this. Even he is aware of how hard painting is, so he tries to praise you. He really tries, but he only manages to glance between your face and the painting. Admits to loving it, if you ask him. But otherwise he will not be able to vocalize his admiration for it.

Arcturus: He gasps and claps from joy. Never realized how great of a painter you are, until he saw himself through your eyes, so to say. Be prepared to be showered in praise for the next hours. If you permit it, he wants a scan of the picture and use it as his profile picture online.

Pollux: Yeah, you will not get him to be silent about this. He just saw your painting, barely looked at it, and is already showing it off to everyone who can listen. He wants to place it in the guide sorcerer room, because than he can always look at it during those boring meetings.

Sirius: He claims that you did not get his good side. If you wanted to draw him, you should have asked, so he can model for you. That's what he said at first, but immediately changes his expression to look at the painting properly. You will be teased about how you must have had a magical train of thought to keep this moment in your memory.

Spica: It started out with him mentioning what he liked most about this painting, but now it escalated. Seven hours in, you should be sleeping and he should be working, but there seems to be no end in this discussion. You are an artist, how shading works is familiar to you, the influence of "light" in colors is something you spend a lot of time practicing, but you are currently being held in the next class. Two more hours pass and he moved on to talk about carving. As you might be able to tell, he loves every form of art and cannot stop talking about it once he began.

Vega: He will not be able to calm down after seeing this. He admires your hard work and your work just made him religious. What religion, you may ask? MC-ism, he follows it with his heart. Would protect the painting with his life, if needed. Depending on where you will keep the painting, you will often find him looking at it when he gets nervous/anxious.

[goodluckclove]

I've never really written anything serious at length at all. All I have this one story I want to get into and write every page, because I am so attached to the characters and world I've designed. Yet, I can't find myself doing so because of that attachment. I feel as don't have anywhere near enough experience to ensure I do the world that I'm so invested in justice.

I've thought doing other writing projects to learn and gain that experience, but I just can't bring myself to care about the practice beyond "if I throw random words on this page, maybe my future words for will be as cool as I want them to be"

I've got one thing I want to make and only thing only, but how do I get to the point of making that thing if meaningful practice seems so difficult?

Okay so I hope you're prepared because we definitely need to have a conversation about this as I cannot properly get into the whole deal without you being able to respond and tell me your thoughts right goddamned now. Still, I have a few pages I need to write so I can give you some insight now to consider before I try and force you to talk to me.

Different people create in different ways. Some people, I think, can direct a story from start to finish in their heads, turn it into a step-by-step outline, and use that as a guide to complete a book exactly as they planned and enjoy it. I've heard this happens so I have to assume it does, but I have never and will never be that type of person.

I love Songbird Elegies. I am absorbed in the world I created and the people that inhabit it. My Spotify algorithm is fucked because I pretty much only listen to the massive playlist I made for songs I associate with the series. At the same time, I know my own creative process enough to understand that if I get too attached to the specifics of the story it'll only harm my ability to write it productively.

There was a point where Edgar's abusive mother was supposed to find him in New Orleans and arrange to meet at Cafe du Monde. The main two get there, unsure what they'd find, and it's revealed that Scott has secretly contacted all the other Birthrights Edgar met in Bluerose to meet there too and offer emotional support. I loved the thought of Edgar, someone who has felt alone for the entirety of his life, suddenly being in the middle of a massive web of unconditional support at his most terrified.

Yeah that scene will never happen. It's on a completely different path now.

I don't want to be one of those people to sort of waggle their fingers and say how your characters have a life of their own, but also I do have a history of psychosis so like fuck it I think I'm allowed to say that. I think a lot of writers have similar experiences, and maybe some of them to the intensity that I do. I don't hear Edgar's voice in my head without my wanting to, of course, but by the time I started book two I had enough of a sense of his character to be able to listen when he said I do not want to be a few hours from where I was abused for decades anymore. It's my story, but I've done this long enough to know when to pass the reigns for a while.

If you create an entire world in your head and you get too exact, there's no room to explore. And exploring is the best part of writing, in my opinion. When I needed to practice I didn't do it by throwing unrelated words at the wall, I did it by trying to write the idea I had and adjusting it until it either worked or I lost interest for the time being. Legitimately, 13 novels in, this is what I had before I started Blind Trust:

"What if magic was like...a disability? But it was supposed to help the already disabled. But it gets appropriated by primarily neurotypical wizard-types - somehow. And some guys...fall in love...yes."

Less than a year later and that is roughly fifteen percent of the current plot. And it kicks ass.

Anyway that's how I roll and it works for me. I love my characters desperately and usually get a sense of my protagonists that boarder on the delusional. Those are my qualifications to say that the best thing someone with a mind like me could do is focus less on every detail and more on the potential that comes with the people and the premise.

And write your thing, man. Give it a shot. Experiment and don't panic too hard if your plan doesn't work. It won't be perfect at first which is good because then it could become even better.

Get ready man, we're definitely talking about this more one-on-one.

Oc Questionniare/Interview

I was tagged to do this by @borisyvain and @drchenquill! Thanks for including me! I'll have Tristan answer these...as with the other questionnaire I did, the responses may not be truthful, but they are the answers he'd give.

Are you named after anyone?

I am named after Sir Tristan, a knight of King Arthur's court. He died for love, slain by the lance of an enchantress whilst he was playing the harp. Quite romantic, really.

When was the last time you cried?

What sort of a question is that? If you must know, I haven't the slightest idea. I do not weep anymore, like some child. [Author's note: methinks thou dost protest too much...]

Do you have kids?

I..do not have..goats. Oh, you mean children? ...me? Do I have children? Me?

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

[sarcastically:] Oh no, that is a base vulgarity I could never indulge in, and by the by, to answer your last question properly, I have been very busy indeed producing children. I started seducing women with alarming speed aged five. In the seven years since I have produced quite the brood.

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

I suppose I notice a person's bearing, and their dress. One can determine much from merely observing these things. Most people are quite easy to take measure of, being largely dull and stupid.

What’s your eye colour?

Blue.

Scary movies or happy endings?

"Movies"? ..well, at any rate, happy endings are intolerably dull, do not you think? I much prefer it when something dreadful happens. Like an arrow through the heart, or poison taken by lovers, or dying of a broken heart, or dying of fright after seeing a phantom, or being thrown in a dungeon to rot for the rest of one's days, or being buried alive, or murdered by a band of highwaymen, or beheaded, or hanged after being falsely accused of a shameful crime, or being doomed by the fulfillment of a horrible omen, or falling through a trap door onto some rusted spikes, or jumping off a cliff onto sharp rocks below...

Any special talents?

Well, I am uncommonly accomplished in the art of sorcery: though I am a novice in the practice and have had no master to teach me black magic, I have managed to do what many adepts have failed at. Thus I cannot help but think myself a natural conjurer. I am also quite good at dancing.

Where were you born?

In my parents' house.

Do you have any pets?

No. I was not permi--no. Anyway, I am far too busy to look after some vexatious creature.

What sort of sports do you play?

Why should I concern myself with a trifling thing like sport? There are far more diverting amusements.

How tall are you?

Five foot.

What was your favorite subject in school?

I never went to a school. You see, my Mind and Intellect required a more refined course of education, supplied by masters who administered lessons to me at my parents' house. But I suppose my favorite subject was French. It is such a romantic language. And the study of the classics, I dare say, although I did much of my reading on my own, and was much improved by it. By industrious reading I instructed myself in magic, which led me to my present course in life!

What is your dream job?

You are funny. An occupation one takes up in one's dreams? ...I suppose I once had a dream in which I was the captain of a great sailing vessel on a desolate, stormy sea. The ship collided with dark cliffs and sank, but at the bottom of the sea was a society of underwater people who placed me in a glass castle, where I was imprisoned, but could look out. I was glad to be alive but rather bored. One day I asked somebody how long I had been prisoner there. They told me two hundred and fourteen years. I decided that was long enough and escaped to the surface, but once I did so all of time hit me at once and I turned into a pile of sand which was immediately washed away with the sea foam.

Hmmm I'll tag @ceph-the-ghost-writer, @hagscribes, and @words-after-midnight!

#tag game #tristan #oc #writeblr #per the third question: he's 12 lol #i love how he's like 'Im not a CHILD' and then proceeds to be like 'I dont have kids???! I'm a CHILD' #soRRY if ppl in regency england didnt measure height in feet I'm assuming so tho cuz no metric yet????? well in france but. #anyway either way he's shorter than that. >:)

"Theoretically what if I said 'yes'?" [Darren x Wirth Headcanons]

Taking a break from my OTP (Rinka x Orter) to focus on my first mashle oc aka Darren Randel (read more info here) ended up making me think they could be a potential ship over Darren x Rayne (I haven't even written out my ideas for them properly) so uhhh yah!

This is a long ass post and devolves into general ideas towards the end.

tyyy @golden-eye-ramblings with the idea making :D

_ _ _

First impressions? They hated each other bro. Darren legit made Wirth taste worthlessness to another dimension (lost his magic completely until sundown so about 5-7 hours) for insulting the fact she didn't use a wand at all (which she gets pretty pissed about if they try to make themselves seem better than her)

He hated this moment so much he started studying/practicing to get payback towards her whenever they encountered each other again

And that happened to be during a Labyrinth/Maze exercise in order to test their knowledge from their Advanced Magic Classes which gave out silver and bronze coins (Lang and Adler houses only)

Wirth put a lot of effort to track her down since she ran after getting stranded by her only buddy (Rayne) who SURF PARTISAN-ED OUT OF THE HEDGES--and then ambushed her whilst she was fighting a golem (man-made magic training doll nicer than Deadervants)

but Darren uses and manipulates Wirth's attacks to put down the golem and 2 silver coins spawned. At this point in time she doesn't get what the coin system is so she just splits the share and Wirth is like what in the generousness is this? Does she think he's that pitiful??? And they part ways from the thing.

Midterms arrived and Darren did pretty bad on them obviously. (she's legit only great at offensive magic)

Walkis although more competitive is really lenient with their passing marks (because the school staff are so corrupt for accepting so many bribes) which she barely achieved after fighting for no instant failing grades so she underestimated the strictness of Easton's grading.

Wahlberg and the teachers agreed that if she failed the next one/finals they might consider expelling her so she literally panics and ends up asking Rayne to help tutor her but this guy is 1) a bad teacher, 2) easily distracted by the bunnies-- they both are really distracted by the bunnies so she has no progress beyond taking remedial classes which she barely understands.

She tries to figure out where she went wrong but Wirth takes the textbook she wanted to take and like are they about to break out into another duel. Darren's about to raise her voice but Wirth shuts her up with a silencing spell (library has to be quiet or not the cursed silencer appears and does the unimaginable).

Girl explains her situation and Wirth hawks in superiority: oh my gawd I'm actually better than her! But he kind of wants to duel her again so when she gets emotional about getting expelled if she does really bad the next round he is like: "Well, Darren. You've come to the right guy! I'm great at all subjects, so what do you need help with?" Darren: "Everything else that's not Magic Geography and Magic Zoology" aka a lot of subjects.

And when I say Darren is bad she is BAD. Calls beakers, conical flasks and funnels "CUPS". She cannot tell the difference. "What did you even study?" because he is genuinely shocked at her stupidity. "The textbooks take so long to decipher and barely have pictures..."

So Wirth ends up making them study into the night and for a week straight they start drilling in the basics. Which she semi understood until he pulled out models and analogies with his mud magic.

Thus begins their mentor/mentee dynamic and Darren unironically calling him "Professor"

So when she improves and gets passing grades just before the summer they're like super duper happy

They both do summer internships at the Bureau of Magic's Power Administration and Darren like knows his whole worth-power-value mindset origin.

"Why not go for something more attainable?" "Like?" "Your... brother?" "Why my brother?" "Surely, you're close to him." "Not really, we've barely talked since he went to school. He's much older than me..." "What's his job?" "He's a Divine Visionary." "What's his name?" "Orter." Darren gets struck with the biggest WTF???? since that guy tried to like kill her.

No wonder Darren was in such a sour mood when she first saw Wirth, he was related to the guy who hated her guts and nearly beat the crap out of her during the questioning she had to do at the Bureau!

"How about we get an internship over the summer and meet him?" and he's like ok.

And thus, we are exposed to Darren's self-centered/self-interested personality and lack of communication skills (since she thinks she's easily readable, SHE'S NOT)

She manages to set up a meeting between them (Rinka and Orter) and completely destroys his self-esteem and confidence by getting straight to the point. "Do you know he has sever self-esteem issues because you're not giving him any attention?"

Orter's tryna understand what's happening but Wirth is like what the hell: "I didn't ask for you to butt into my own problems!" and he fumbles his anger/embarassment towards Orter but broski is just like: "Is that true?" regarding Darren's question.

Rinka makes the situation worse by tryna deescalate the situation with a soothing/calming spell. "There's no need to use additional violence, ruins the atmosphere more than needed." Rinka comments. "I've placed a sound barrier too. It's a safe space."

Wirth at Darren - "I CARE THAT SOMEONE'S TRYING TO JUST SHOVE THEMSELVES INTO MY PRIVACY LKKE THEY KNOW ME!!" The 3 of them just watch him pop off at Darren before it devolves into his insecurities: "Are you trying to make me feel even more worthless than I already did?!"

"I only agreed to help you with your studies! Not to get help with my own life!"

"You can't just FIX me! You can't just come in like that expecting that everything gets resolved in an instant and then you take all the credit as 'mY sAvIoR', do you have any idea how INANE OF AN IDEA THAT IS?! No! Of course you don't! Because you only ever look after yourself!!"

"Wirth. Is what you're saying true?" and bro leaves with no answer (on the verge of tears)

Their whole dynamic crumbles and Darren has some REFLECTION TIME YAYYYYYY. Some slow improvement on Darren's part with Rayne's help (blud shows his point through his actions that mimic her behaviour)

Rayne points out that Darren is not as easy to read as everyone believes her to be. Specifically, regarding her hatred for Orter and that she'd never even try to think about sabotaging Wirth. "It's only been a month since you've joined, you collected 1 whole gold coin already. I doubt it."

And then she would have apologised in person but like. Wirth is studying for the hardest attainable credit ever??? so she writes an apology letter and prays it gets read because yeh.

Dw blud read it becuz the letter ended up in Shuen's fangirl mail inbox and bro got motivated a bit more and like: oh-kay...

They're friends again yayyyy and the DV Candidate Exam is happening and they bicker through the entire ordeal until they arrive at the final round. The 1v1 battles and he gets obliterated by Rayne *whomp whomp whomp*

But surprise! His bro watched him struggle and decided to give him some affirmation and suggests replacing him (Wirth) for the winter break visit because he's kinda like disappointed that he didnt get into the next round (he wanted to do a rematch against Darren) and like the dad favouritism/worth shenanigans.

Darren gets 2nd place and enters the Trimagicathlon.

When Darren heard the match ups she got mad because she wouldn't be able to fight Wirth. (In terms of raw power, Rayne is just superior that she was lucky to be blessed with her crazy cheatcode magic to make the matchup work.)

They were in different brackets too so it just added salt to the insult bro.

So they're friends again and because Wirth doesn't have to go to his parents Darren is like: Let's intern again! But before that, mid-terms/finals!!

And that's when people start to catch whiff off seeing the two together more often.

"Have you heard? The 3rd fang is seeing that crazy wandless psycho!" "What!? Aren't they rivals or something?" "Didn't you see them at the library earlier? They were smiling at each other!"

The Magia Lupus were also kinda curious about this too so they asked him and bro's reaction is priceless because he was immersed in making a model/analogies to help Darren until they arrived. Lost his composure, literally screamed in their faces for ruining the models, and like he legit says: "Even if I did like her she's only interested in Rayne Ames"

Ain't no way in hell he's gonna become a simp for her you know?

"Theoretically, what would happen if I said I had feelings for you?"

"Then theoretically, what if I said 'yes'?"

"I doubt anything would change. We'd bicker, help each other out. Bicker more. Oh and you might be able to join us for board game night."

"Sounds fun but also boring at the same time because it just sounds like what friends do."

"I've never really had feelings for anyone so it's a bit new to me."

Wirth is dejected a bit.

Conflict of interest is she brings bro over to Rayne's BIGGEST SECRET—his bunnies and gets mad mad at her. Wirth wants to get involved but the two of them tell him to stay out of it. "This happened before you got into the picture."

But yuhh if Wirth ever confessed, he'd get friendzoned in a heartbeat because 2nd male lead syndrome!

Darren probably tried to get Rayne to join the Magia Lupus board game nights but he'd rather meet his bunnies over people so Darren gets comfy with them.

Criticizes their diets so hard (seriously why is wirth's favourite food fruit punch???), she literally is starting to become overworked as a 3rd year making nearly 15 lunchboxes every single day.

The main character syndrome it girl to overworked parent pipeline is so real for her.

She literally bonks their heads in s1 when she realises they did all that weird stuff. "I thought we were besties!" she shakes her head and penalties them to without magic for atleast 4 days.

"Are We Humans or Are We Dancers?" ┃The Law of Manifestation

So I was doing some more research into subliminals and Manifestation and for the, I don't know...thirteenth (?) time I see people write and state that "They are a God" and believe that is going to help them manifest a Manor in Beverly Hills and the hottest boyfriend around and just...

You Know what I can't say it any other way, no matter how rude I come across: YOU ARE NOT A GOD! Yes, spirit exists in us, yes spirit created us but that does not make us 100% spirit. (In fact, I find it a little disrespectful to go about calling yourself a God)

The easiest way to explain this say spirit is a writer like Jane Austen and we are the characters that they have written. Does that mean Mr Darcy could run around and spout "I am Jane Austen!" No, he couldn't because he is not Jane Austen, he would seem incredibly silly to all the other characters in the world if he did that. But it is true that a very tiny part of Jane Austen lives in him just as it does in every other character of the multiple worlds she has created. Does that make sense? As someone who has written my own original works of writing (though never published them online, as I prefer to keep them private) I know that characters can somehow take on a will of their own, yes I the creator still have some control over them but I could go to write a scene with one idea but suddenly the scene starts to shift and they perform a different action which still helps the story work but wasn't my idea it seemed more theirs, anyway we're not here to write about that back to the topic!

I suggest anybody wanting to actually properly manifest you read divine magic by Doreen Virtue, it is a good book for she has simplified and modernized the words of the Kybalion. (You know the actual true ancient book of manifestation) because running around spouting delusions and living in a castle in a cloud is not a manifestation. It's crazy, I'm sorry but it is. Yes, affirmations can help but that is to do with brain science because yes science and spirituality can mix. A good quote I once saw that describes on science and spirituality work well together is "Science seeks to enlighten our minds, Spirituality seeks to awaken our hearts" You need an open mind and an open heart in order to successfully manifest.

Now to explain brain science,(yes this is getting long but if you're still reading, then you're one of the good ones!) we all have neural pathways linked to our brain and they are built up as we grow and age. They fuel our beliefs so if you spent your youth bullied and told cruel lies about yourself like "you're useless" or "no one will ever love you" your brain starts to believe them. You can't hear or see past these lies. This is where affirmations come in to break that cycle and help you manifest a better life. It all starts with the actions you take. You have to put yourself in a high vibration closer to Spirit/God so that they can sense you more keenly than the millions of their other creations/children. For there is a lot of us to watch over!

You have to do the same affirmation regularly to make your brain believe it as truth and affirmations cannot affect your physical world only your mentality, it is up to you to do some hard work too!! That is how you affect your physical world, for we, unfortunately, don't live in a storybook as much as I would love that to be true. You can't say "I am rich and abundance flows easily to me" 100 times in a mirror and close your eyes expecting yourself to open them again to a new reality where you are suddenly the new Kim K of the world. Please be a little practical. Anyway, I know maybe only 1 or 2 of you will read this if I'm lucky because a lot of you are too happy to live in daydreams but I still had to say something, I wouldn't be a good pupil & teacher of spirit if I didn't correct your mistakes. If you disagree with me on all this, That's fine too I mean we're all walking our own paths and this path I've taken has benefited me so far.

Thank you to all who have read this and hopefully learned something, If you are interested in learning more here are some resources that have helped me become more knowledgeable:

READ ON WATTPAD

summary: While Katherine finds out what the grisha want with the Sun Summoner, Kirigan thinks about witches. The two of them have a talk.

word count: 2818

warnings: mentions of witch/grisha hunt (?)

────────── ★ ★ ★ ──────────

The sun was starting to rise when Katherine looked at the window. She blinks a few times in an attempt to get the somnolence out of her body. As expected by Cheshire, her curiosity over the book won the desire to sleep and she spent the whole night reading.

However what he didn't expect was that the witch would make her own notes at the end of the book. The Darkling would hate to see his book full of Norse runes, something he probably can't understand, but it was obvious that Katherine wouldn't write her thoughts in english or latin. Every important note of hers are in Norse runes: an idiom that a lot of people don't know. That way, it doesn't matter if someone sees them because it's improbable that the person will be able to read them.

"What do you know about amplifiers, Cheshire?" Katherine suddenly asks the shadow.

They amplify Grishas' powers.

She looks at him with a reprimanding face. "I'm serious, Cheshire."

They're made of organic remains, animals or humans. A third voice appears in their conversation, and Katherine doesn't need to look behind her to know it's Umbra, her quietest and sweetest shadow.

"Humans?"

There are some Grishas that are living amplifiers and increase your power just by their touch. The Darkling is one! That's why he can tell what power you have.

"So I can be more powerful by his side?"

No. If you stay at his side too much, it won't have any effect. There will be a moment that your body will get used to his power magnifying. For an amplifier to work properly, you have to kill it first.

The witch faces the shadow with widened eyes. That wasn't what she was expecting. "I have to kill an animal or person to have an amplifier?"

Umbra nods. And then pick something of them, like a nail or tooth. Then you go to a Materialki Grisha to merge it on your skin.

Katherine looks at the book's opened page, one with an image of the Morozova stag, the sea whip and the firebird. Her mind and heart are racing so fast that it feels like she'll faint at any time. "Umbra, can a Grisha have more than one amplifier?"

There's a moment of silence before the shadow answers. I haven't heard of any.

"But do you think there can be exceptions? Like a powerful Grisha. Do you think they can handle the strength of more than one amplifier?"

I think it's possible, yet dangerous. The shadow appears right in front of Katherine to face her. It can simulate magic, something a Grisha's body isn't made of.

"Umbra—", the witch gazes at the image in the book again. "I think I know what they are training the Sun Summoner for."

Katherine really expects her thoughts to be wrong. If it's true that the Grishas want Alina to have those 3 amplifiers — the most powerful of all —, they want her to simulate magic.

This is wrong on so many levels. Nature's balance will be destroyed on the minute Alina has them merged on her skin, which will lead to powerful consequences. After all, nature does everything to get the world's balance back.

Magic is only meant for the Supernatural, and if those 3 strong amplifiers let Alina simulate magic, it'll be the end, because she'll be practicing something that doesn't belong to Grishas. Magical balance will break, and nature won't hesitate to bring that back in a short period of time. The consequences of restoring magical balance are so strong that it can lead to hundreds or thousands of deaths. The Shadow Fold will be a joke compared to that.

Although not every witch follows that rule, they all know that magic has limits. It's a fact that cannot be discussed. However, Grishas don't know magic like witches do. There's a chance that they will destroy not only Ravka but entire countries if Alina gets these amplifiers.

Katherine can't let that happen. She won't let the magical balance break because of that lightscum.

"Gather information about The Darkling's plan for the Sun Summoner." The witch orders her shadows before leaving her chambers, feeling them leave to fulfill her wish while she goes to the library in search for more books.

────────── ★ ★ ★ ──────────

Kirigan massages his temple for the hundredth time to reduce a headache. He had work to do yesterday's night, reports about the stag's hunt and matters to solve on the Second Army, but instead of focusing on these duties, he spent the whole night reading the weird books on his desk.

It felt like bedtime stories for children, which would be foolish if the old Ravkan tales weren't true. After all, when he was a young boy, he used to seek after lands known for strange happenings to find a place to stay for a few days. Him and his mother always found villages of Grishas that created scary stories to drive the otkazat'sya away.

It would be sheer witlessness if he ignored those books, especially when they talk about magic. From what he understood, it's like merzost, but you can only acquire it if you are born with it. Magic is inside the person from birth to death, and it can't be taught to anyone who doesn't have it. On the other hand, anyone who wants to learn merzost can do it. An example of that is himself. Oh, Kirigan can still remember when he was studying hard the practice of merzost and the first time he managed to test his knowledge.

It was wonderful and worth it, yet it didn't go as well as he wanted — the volcras are the proof of that. Ravka and Grishas are safer with the Shadow Fold that drives the enemies away. Of course, there are some people that die from the crossing, but it's a smaller amount compared to the witch hunts that took place before the Unsea creation.

Witch hunts. That's how some drüskelle call their horrendous quests, since, according to some sources, witches are more powerful than Grishas. Therefore, they're a meaner race that must be eliminated.

Although The Darkling's never seen a witch, he believes that they're real. He's heard about the Spanish Inquisition and the witch trials in Salem and small towns, which must've made these people good at hiding. After all, it's hard to live a good life when everyone tries to kill you. Kirigan knows that from experience.

The General glances at the clock near the armchairs, seeing it will be soon 5 in the morning. He then picks up the books on his desk to put them back at the library and search for another. The bookshelves may be full of information about magic.

Maybe that topic is on witch books.

When he was young, he heard stories that said witches, besides knowing a lot about magic, were the ones that could control it very well. Therefore, he can learn about these people and even find one of them to help him on the Fold. If magic really is a more powerful variation of merzost, then who could be better to analyze the Unsea than witches?

With that thought in mind, The Darkling heads to the library, his graceful steps the only sound in the Little Palace's hallways. However, all of that was erased from his head when he arrived at the place and saw a slim figure at the Latin bookshelves.

Ms. Anya is carefully reading the titles in front of her with a slight frown on her forehead. She quietly murmurs the words to herself, her attention was such that he could spend the whole day watching her. But sadly that didn't last. The woman, without success in her search, turns around and gasps when he enters her field of view.

There's a moment of silence between them. Katherine analyzes every inch of Kirigan while he does the same with her. There's tension in the air, unsaid questions full of unsaid answers as well.

Suddenly, the witch breaks that stressful moment by politely asking: "Why are you here?"

The General makes an effort to not look surprised. "I beg your pardon?"

Her light green eyes go to the books in his hands. "Why do you have my books?"

Her boo— So she's the one who's playing with him as if he didn't deserve any respect!

"All of these books are from the palace, Ms. Anya, and I would very much discuss this with you if I wasn't intrigued by something else." He slowly approaches her, slightly admiring her courage of remaining a stern face and not backing off. "Why are you here?"

"I was searching for my books, which seem to be with you."

"Shouldn't you be organizing the palace?"

"I'm in charge of the Sun Summoner along with Genya, moi soverenyi, and we wake her up at 6 o'clock. I thought you were aware of that, since you know everything that happens in Os Alta— My apologies, in Ravka."

Kirigan clenches his jaw in rage. This woman, a mere otkazat'sya that work for him, had the audacity to mock and insult him right on his face!

Ms. Anya De Montreal knows that Genya is a spy and is betraying Alina, he remembers Kage's words about the handmaiden. The same woman that daily admires the hanging tree and lied to him about not knowing its meaning, who doesn't like Alina, who invaded his chambers and read his notebook.

Everything makes sense now for him.

"You're a spy." His voice's stone cold when the words leave his mouth. "A thief, at least."

Her beautiful light green eyes go wide at the accusation. "Me? You are the one with my books!"

Kirigan analyzes every detail on her, his gaze stopping at the book in her hands. An old red worn cover with a gold title and light brown pages that he'd recognize everywhere. The General feels his blood boiling in his veins. How did she take that from him?!

"That one is mine." He quickly removes the book from her hands, well aware of her eyes narrowing in anger. "How did you get it?"

"It was in my room", she answers.

He scoffs. "That seems quite impossible, Ms. Anya."

"Nothing is impossible in this world, moi soverenyi."

He nods, clearly impatient at her games. "But that is. Which is why you're going to accompany me to—"

"You're going to throw me in the dungeons, then? Treat me like a criminal or traitor of the Grishas?"

His stern face confirmed her accusations, which just angered her more. "I am no harm to you or your empire." At least not if you don't try to amplify that lightscum's power. "I'm not Fjerdan or Shu Han, I don't smuggle Grishas out of your palace nor admire the hunts and experiences of them. Actually, for me, all the barbarians that do that can rot and burn in hell."

To say that The Darkling was surprised by her speech would be an euphemism. He was shocked at her arguments and courage to say it all without a hint of nervousness or fear. It was as if she wasn't even arguing with the most powerful Grisha of all.

It takes a moment for him to recompose himself before saying firmly: "You may tell me more about your aversion to hunters in my office then."

"No."

He raises an eyebrow at the woman's stubbornness. "No?"

She looks deeply at his dark brown eyes. "No."

There's a minute of silence between them, the same one that exhaled tension in the room before. Katherine examines every detail on Kirigan's face in an attempt to predict what he'll do to her. Unfortunately, it all showed a bad destiny that would soon happen if she didn't escape.

So that only left the witch with two options: be imprisoned and ruin the mission or run away and be able to help Agatha while hiding from the soldiers.

Obviously, Katherine chose the second option.

She turns around and runs without glancing back at the man following her. She holds her white skirt to help her run better and avoid a tumble while dodging tables and trying to outwit The Darkling by entering the labyrinth of bookshelves that make up the library. However, she's not having any luck, since he's smart and predicts her paths.

Katherine soon realizes that she'd have to fight him and probably be caught if she doesn't use her powers. There was no way to run from him when he clearly was physically faster and stronger. After all, although she went on missions and fought on battlefields, she wasn't trained in an army like him.

With a pounding heart, the woman sees a shadow behind a bookshelf, following its form against the sunlight. She extends an arm to call the darkness, ready to jump in and escape from the Grishas' leader. Of course, running away would mean that she'll never set foot on the palace again and fuck up with her family's plan, but it was better than being captured.

As expected, the darkness caught her before her body collide with the stone wall. Katherine can feel the shadows welcoming her, their cool touch embracing every part of her body to melt her into the shadow of the bookcase and make her invisible to anyone. The witch's heart melts at the well known feeling. Since she was a child, shadow under covering is one of her favorite parts of her power. It was the first ability she learnt, the one that protected her from a lot of her parents beatings and hostile fights on the cold London streets.

Hidden in the shadows, Katherine sees The Darkling entering the hallway she went in. His eyebrows make a frown when he concludes she's not there — at least in his sight. He even spins on his place and attentively observes the shelves in search of her.

Although she'd like to watch him more, Katherine leaves. Who knows if Kirigan could manipulate the shadows and convince them to dissolve her hiding place. Even if that was a paranoia of hers, she wouldn't take that risk. She has to help Agatha, and not cause trouble that would only make everything worse!

Praecantrix, Os Alta. She telepathically tells the shadows that quickly obey her.

In an instant she's at a dark corner of the tavern where all Supernaturals go to, all the warm air of the Little Palace changed into a light breeze due to the constantly opening and closing of the doors as clients enter and leave Praecantrix. The witch attentively inspects the tables in search of her cousins, though they're discussing spells at the bar counter. It takes a minute for her to locate them and sit on a tall stool next to Nick.

Agatha's twin frowns at her, suspecting Katherine's quieter than usual behavior. "You were supposed to come here at night."

She sighs in deception with herself. "I know."

"So what're you doing here?"

Unexpectedly, she curls up in her seat, the shame of failing her cousin gnawing at her heart. "I fucked up."

Levi stands up to sit next to the woman, suddenly alert of the bad news that is coming. Katherine's not a sweary person, after all, she was raised by Elijah Mikaelson, who taught her to say bad things in a more... refined way. As time went by, she'd taken that habit of him, only cursing when she really was furious or sad.

"I lost my disguise. I can't risk coming back to the palace."

There's a brief pause that the Shadow Singer is not used to. Usually they ​​would say something to her in the same second, be it a curse or a piece of advice, but they would never be silent. She looks at the two men who, surprisingly, are facing each other. Levi has a smirk plastered on his face while Nick is clenching his jaw to not choke his cousin.

"I won." Levi mockingly raises his eyebrows and extends his hand to the other man.

Nick growls in annoyance as he gives his cousin some golden coins. "Your shit was supposed to happen next week, Kat, not on that one!"

She opens her mouth in shock, full disapproving ruling in her head. "You gambled on my failure? How dare you do that?!"

"Hey, we thought of gaining some money with that prejudice of yours!" Levi proudly shows her a coin. "It's the least you could do to us after hurting the Sun Summoner and letting the Darkling's guard on our heels."

"First of all, I have a misunderstanding with lightscums. If it was a prejudice, I wouldn't tolerate Soliel."

He rolls his hazel eyes. "You two tolerate each other. That doesn't count."

Katherine takes a deep breath to not slap him, though he is telling the truth. Soliel is indeed the only Light Singer Katherine likes, while Katherine is the only Shadow Singer Soliel likes. "Second of all, I didn't hurt the Sun Summoner."

"Then what have you done?" Nick asks.

"I had an argument, nearly got into a fight."

"With who?"

She makes a moment of silent to herself before answering. "The Darkling himself."

"Oh, fuck." Levi and Nick curse in unison, well aware of the hiding they're going to put Katherine through in order to not expose their true identities.

A/N: English is not my first language. I’m gonna mix the books and the tv show to make the story line clearer (I read soc, the grisha trilogy and its tales). I don’t own Shadow and Bone and TO/Legacies characters; they’re, respectively, Leigh Bardugo, L. J. Smith and Julie Plec. Also, this is how I think the Darkling is,and some of the events will be changed due to the story's course!

I'm sorry if I've been asking a lot of questions recently, I just really like the story. anyway How does linden end up in hell? Cause he's the antagonist in arc 4 and I'm pretty sure that's the hell arc. Like Linden in arc 4 may say he's perfectly normal but he's in literal hell rn, he might want to rethink that /hj

oh he doesn’t end up in hell! he traps his brother in hell :)

i promise i will explain what the Deal Is with linden’s internal life in like a Week bc i am Busy Right Now and i still need to organize all my thoughts on him properly. suffice to say he’s got a lot of Stuff brewing inside of him but he is so practiced at hiding his real feelings that nobody sees it coming when he jokerfies.

i did just make a page on my blog with basic plot/character summaries though so here’s his:

more clarification under The Cut

i think the wording is a little confusing so i’ll edit it when i’m back on desktop but just to be clear: he is not Also trapped in hell he is trapped In The House bc the spirit of the house is mad at him AND knows how to get them out. it cannot speak but it CAN communicate through moving the stuff inside of it. so it has him call them and speak to them for it. the navigator but the worst possible navigator. forcing this guy to actually communicate.

“how does he know about the hellmouth isn’t he Just Some Guy” the ending of the last arc had an evil undead wizard almost blow up the town and the sheer force of magical energy shredded the Veil that conceals magic from normies pretty bad until the protagonists resolved it. linden was near their house at the time for Reasons To Be Decided. you know how it is.

“how is he the antagonist then” i mean, all the antagonists kind of have a mixed role in their arcs. rosemary is their friend’s Cool Mom who just happens to be mad at them for breaking wizard rules which is Fair even if her reaction is a little too much. but they slowly discover that she is way more sus than she seems. and even though he’s sus from the start peregrine is their friend’s weird but amiable boyfriend who is staying in their house up until they figure out that oh shit he is planning to do some potentially CATASTROPHIC shit with the house and hellmouth’s magicks. i think it’s fine to call linden arc 4’s antagonist when he literally trapped them beyond the hellmouth and they need to rely on him who has Just proven himself unreliable to get out.

And it is a matter of good taste that people practice properly care and speaking to us mostly they don't ever. So we are going to go after them today and we are going to take care of the problem.

-another issue is trying to tamper with our son's diet Non-Stop he can't tolerate you people hardly at all and you're doing so many things trying to do so many things to him and everything relies on him and he's our prisoner is what you're saying you're going to die you are ignorant people and the max didn't think they can have you do it they will suffer.

-on the foreigners are attacking Max all of them are it's never happened to them it will never be reversed you people here are the ones who did it and you're proud of it and you think it'll do something for you we think you're nuts because we know your nuts

-there's a few things we have to report one of them is that this area is getting invaded by the pseudo empire it's not a massive invasion that they're going to come in and start in feeling the areas where you are not inhabiting and it's a lot there's a lot of places here. He keeps reporting to us tons of homes are empty for sale signs everywhere and finally they started to move in and he says it they don't treat you well at your concerts and they don't treat others that well and they can't and that was good at it and your four people you before and it is how it should be said because it's true so she was not upset and found out that he means it and that these people are actually quite unbearable too at the same time but she really needed to hear it couple more things

-we are in receipt of several letters from the warlock and they say bad things on them and we're looking at the letters you wonder how they got there that's a question and who sent them and he said it was more locked and we are looking at them for code and so forth the threats and when our people and they're asking for things for us to make happen and certain things you might happen and it's raining for behavior here to be a certain thing so I told them we don't know how we're supposed to comply with this stuff nobody on Earth will you're asking us to and you have a list of demands and we follow what they're saying and we are looking at a carefully of course many things we usually respond no and we will of course respond no but they sent us the letter and to our headquarters and it's not Mac proper send it to us and it's not that Daddy it's one of these idiots yeah John remillard and he was saying that his Mac proper yeah so we are presenting this letter that they sent that's exhibit a as to why you should not have him running for president in it he says a few things that are quite illegal and his demanding that we pull back and that we don't do certain things and so on so it's regarding areas that are other than the island nope it's about the island so there's a whole bunch of other things on the letter but they are general items and her son had an idea of how to respond and we're going to respond the way he suggested this little a****** telling me what to do it's very simple we're going to reach out and show you what we mean John remillard about you having a bad attitude and it not fitting with your survival you don't say those things to us and what his response is you don't say those things to us but it said differently on multiple occasions you have said the wrong things to us and we have straightened you out and you never listen and your body end is a disintegrated dissected burned and you get a clone body then you say that you're magic and your own people can't stand you and then you send us a letter what do you on anyways what kind of drugs I understand that some people cannot refuse talking to people who are hitting them but sincerely you don't know where or what we're doing where we can come from or who we have hit you and you just exacerbated and make us more angry on purpose and then we kill you over and over you do it and it's always just someone standing right next to you there's plenty of people who are out of line like you and they don't get shot everyday there's a whole bunch of people with more power that we're pursuing tell your sick person and you're not even American we work on that. Our letters are going to be reaching your facilities today and tomorrow the ones that you sent Monday and Tuesday and you are not to send mail to our location. We were surprised you had the balls to do it and iwe saw you drop it off. We're wondering why you didn't send letters to the max who are actually doing these things they didn't say it's a mental patient stuff. So you want to threaten us and you'll find the return receipt today yeah you didn't send the letters returning receipt you sent them anonymously. We of course have that style and have been doing it in the max are aware of it but I'd like to show them how much and we did the max have 45 control centers in each area and we have the idiot send to all of them all over the world and he does think it's our places and he's supposed to for what the max are doing okay, now I'm just saying he knows it's their centers. There's a big huge list of things not to do put out by your people you didn't go to them first so they want to ask you questions and she couldn't bring him in. Bja tried himself couldn't do it

So he told bja what he thinks and he says no wonder he's a madman and yeah that's the answer so people are after him for it and bja is after him and they want to talk to her son and our son says I know why they did it and how but that's the shapes and no one can figure it out and by the way I need you to keep people completely out of the pyramids all of them on Earth and you need to have a summit with your other people including Trump though they left as a ball and a device that puts the ball into something and I'm afraid that your grandson and family are to activate the device and who the hell knows what it's set up to do and so he says uh-oh it could be Frozen people and a huge pile and geothermics to reactivate Giants of Dave to run huge lasers he says I feel like Michelle in San Francisco at a party. Projectile vomiting so it didn't go around and they're looking at it and they're saying we actually need to stop him and it was Tommy F they're talking about because he appears to be trying to activate it in the future so the letters went out and the idiot is going to get fried and he thinks it's because they're demanding the money and it's what they're doing and it's not our son but our son says have to get money sometime and you messed up cheese man so he's going to shoot you you'll eventually die and I think he leaves Titan because you couldn't figure it out and that's what it is

Pound of Fluff || Trial 2

Everyone is yelling, everyone is threatening the king, but King Calum is utterly unmoved by their threats. What are they going to do to him? By the time they’re anywhere close to him, he’ll have them properly contained or crested, and it will be no problem. His problem now is that the pixie isn’t back yet with the girl.

“What is taking her so long?” he demands.

“She’s quite small, it takes her a while to get around,” Amber lies. And the king knows she is lying, because her precious little friend was famous for her speed. 

He huffs. “Get her down here already.”

“She’s almost here.”

“Then hurry her up!”

“One moment sir.”

There’s an odd energy between the two. Amber seems less scared and more irritated. It’s passive aggressive down to the bone. The exchange continues for a bit before Amber finally puts up a vine.

“Ah, Kali has returned. Behold, your Majesty, the culprit.”

Kali descends from the sky again, unlit, moving much more slowly than before. That fact can likely be attributed to her flammable cargo: her arms are wrapped around the Yuliya Fumo’s neck in a chokehold. “Blades still stained with the sacrifice’s blood, sir!” she announces, grinning smugly. “Weren’t for this gawping pillow, she’d still be alive. Glad you reminded us! Eye for an eye, that’s the motto I live by!“

“What is that?!” The king rages. “You were supposed to bring the Bound!”

“Unfortunately, we cannot do that.” Amber is all smiles as she explains. “You told us that no harm is to come to the Bound, so long as they are in our care, to avoid them deteriorating further. I believe this was in fact an Order.”

“And now I’m saying that they shall!”

“Unfortunately, the king’s word is absolute, even when it is the king objecting. Sadly, we can not execute a Bound.”

You can practically hear the king scowling. “Then bring the body!”

“By definition, a dead person can not be executed. As such, she is not eligible.”

“Then kill one of these fools.”

Here Amber takes a breath. “Is that really in your best interest, sir? Don’t you wish for the largest army possible? Killing one of them now will do nothing to strengthen the group.”

“I don’t-”

“And of course, if you admitted that you cared more about your entertainment than the war efforts, well, the council members there would be forced to declare you incompetent, wouldn’t they?” Amber’s voice grew sweeter and sweeter as she cornered the king.

“You…!”

“But, worry not. You shall have entertainment, and not a drop more blood will be spilled.” She reaches out to take the fumo from Kali. “Thank you, dear. Behold, your majesty, your pound of flesh. May her execution be enough to sate your bloodlust.”

Suddenly, laughter erupts from the other side of the magical connection. The council are intensely amused by this farce. You can almost hear the king flinching away.

“You…” he seethes. “Fine. Execute your doll. The next case had best offer up more than enough magical energy, tree, or I shall extract it from your core.” With that, the transmission is severed. You can feel the difference in the air. You’re still being watched, but it’s no longer a two way street. 

Amber seems to weaken a little, as soon as the call ends… “Miss Perry is not going to like what we’re about to do to her doll.”

Kali scoffs. “Course she won’t. But I’m sure she’ll agree: better this than one of her friends!” She turns, sweeping her gaze over the lot of you, arms and smirk both wide. “Don’t you think?” Alighting again on Amber’s shoulder, she looks immeasurably pleased with herself.

"Well, the doll should have thought of that before being weak enough to be caught for their murder. Unfortunately Perry chose a fool for a vaguely gay pillow choice. And that pillow will burn." Alvarie speaks clearly and coldly, eyes sharp and teeth as well.

[impishtubist]

ok great that is good to know!! this is something that’s been, like, bouncing around in my head for awhile? i think quite a lot about the marauders and nicknames, how they use them, and my general headcanon that has now taken form is they pretty much always use nicknames and terms of affection for each other, unless they’re scared or upset etc, and the people they’ve known for awhile and their friends are just like alright sure whatever that’s just what james, sirius, and remus are all like together, but introducing new people to the dynamic can be confusing as fuck, especially since j, s, and r are all just a bit extra unhinged and chaotic when it comes to social interaction with people who aren’t each other.

so, in this specific hc, it’s post-war, and james is playing quidditch professionally. he’s been made team captain, and quidditch is the one aspect in his daily life where he’s, like, properly intense. on the pitch his teammates are slightly scared of him because he gets that into it, but he’s completely jovial once he’s not playing anymore. he also talks absolutely non-stop about his family, who make not infrequent visits during training. sirius is the one who’s around the least because he has a ministry job, but remus’s work consists of the odd bit of magical creature related freelance work, and stay-at-home dad stuff, so he’ll often stop by with harry to bring james lunch after doing the same for sirius at the ministry. so james’s teammates know them, and have realized that moony = the brown haired one, and that padfoot = literally sirius fucking black. and the only reason that they know sirius’s name at all is because he’s been in the papers and his face is recognizable (it was kind of a big deal when he got control of the black family finances and wizengamot seat post-war), because james has never once called either of them by their actual names when talking about them. it’s always padfoot, pads, moony, moonbeam, moonshine, love, sweetheart, darling, “my husband”, etc. so none of his teammates actually know remus’s name and at this point they’re just too afraid to ask.

everyone feels kind of bad because remus is quite nice, but it’s not really an issue because he’s not all that talkative, whenever he’s around he’s usually sitting with james & sometimes sirius or minding harry, no one ever actually has the chance to get his name wrong. but then of course when harry is about four, james announces they’re going to have teddy, and he is, like, over-the-moon excited for this, he’s actually not quite as intense during practice and not making everyone wake up at 4 am for once, and eventually someone suggests maybe they should get a card and sign it and all that? because that’s what you do when people have babies, right? and that’s all well and good, but in the process of doing so, someone reminds them all that they don’t actually know brown-haired-husband’s name, and that’s, yk, a bit of a problem. one of the beaters suggests his name might actually be moony, but ofc that’s immediately shot down because obv he has a matching nickname for sirius. they can’t figure it out and they’re decidedly not going to ask james about it b/c to them that seems an utterly daunting task, but getting it wrong would be even worse, like, it would be bad in general, but they decide they absolutely cannot get the name wrong of the guy who’s actually having the kid, so they collectively decide to ask remus himself, because he doesn’t seem terrifying; he always looks a little sickly and wears sweaters and brings james boxed lunches and just generally carries himself like a primary school teacher, so it should be…fine? probably?

they end up sending the seeker to ask him, who is the youngest and probably most agreeable and least obviously a jock. when she goes up to remus one day while he’s visiting with harry and explains it all to him, he laughs for awhile, because remus is a little shit, and tells her “oh, that’s quite sweet. just go ahead and put whatever you think my name is on the card” and ofc that is confusing and cryptic as fuck and no help at all but she’s like. OKAY, I GUESS. and so they do just end up putting “moony” on the card, b/c they have nothing else to go on, and when they hand it off to james when he comes back from paternity leave after teddy is born, he’s very touched, like “omg you guys are the best team ever i love you all so much”, and then he opens it later when he’s at home and is confused and starts freaking out, just a bit, because what the hell? that’s their nickname for remus, why is anyone but them using it? (frank longbottom once made the mistake of calling remus “moony” during school and found himself on the business end of sirius’s wand) he shows it to sirius who also freaks out; they basically stand there in the living room for five minutes trying to brainstorm why this is happening, if they have to threaten an entire quidditch team, etc, when harry, who is sat on the floor playing with teddy (which consists of mostly moving teddy’s feet around and waving things in front of his face, because teddy is three-months-old) tells them his four-year-old version of what happened, like, “they told da they didn’t know his name so da said to pick one for him”, and sirius goes from concerned to absolutely losing his shit, b/c ofc remus would take an opportunity like that to fuck with everyone involved. james is simultaneously embarrassed and also like “well those are MY nicknames so why would i ever call either of you anything else sirius orion black stop fucking laughing i swear to god”. remus walks in during the middle of this and he says “oh so you read the card! give it to me i want to see what nickname they chose.” and just absolutely mercilessly teases james for the rest of the night about how jealous he gets about both of them and how he should probably at least tell his teammates their names, despite the fact they’ve already sussed sirius’s out for themselves. and james probably does but remus is also absolutely the type to tell them to just call him “moony” and sirius “padfoot” b/c the whole thing is hilarious to him now.

Hi this is the greatest thing I've read all week and I want fic of it! I want 100K words about this family! This is hysterical and so on point for all of these guys. I'm screaming internally and smiling so hard right now. You are a genius! Your mind is incredible! Thank you for blessing me with this content <3

Damning Evidence

This story was inspired by the idea of a what would happen if a civilian tried to go after Ladybug or Chat Noir’s miraculous and it got caught on video. Origially, I was going to have Alya be the one recording, but I decided someone outside of the Akuma Class needed some love. Warm-Fuzzies and please enjoy!!

Aurore Borell considered herself a dedicated weather girl and journalist. She paid attention to leads, always checked her sources, listened to witnesses after akuma battles, and always minded her safety when there was an attack. The akuma of the day was a boy from her school, she didn’t know him personally but he was going by the name Stillshot. Aurore had heard on the news that he had the ability to freeze people in place if he took your picture. 

The battle had moved close to where she lived and she hadn’t felt safe in her home, seeing as the akuma was a street level type and she lived in a lower apartment with her parents. So, she had moved to the roof of her apartment building with her phone to record everything she could see from her vantage point. 

And boy, did she see a lot.

Ladybug and Chat Noir were barely keeping clear of the beams that were shooting from the camera in Stillshot’s hands. They were even more encumbered because they were carrying a civilian around with them. Aurore recognized her as Lila Rossi, another student from her school. She didn’t know her well, but was pretty sure that the girl was a total liar. She’d once heard her say that she used to be a junior weather girl in Italy, which was admittedly impressive. But when Aurore looked her up, she couldn’t find a single news or radio station that ever listed her as an employee, intern, or even a volunteer; so she was pretty sure that it was a total lie.

Looking down, her phone in hand, she could see Stillshot shouting at the two heroes for protecting the girl. To her surprise, Ladybug and Chat Noir didn’t look thrilled by the situation either, but were still doing their best to protect her. When Ladybug called for her Lucky Charm and got a can of hairspray, Aurore was excited to see how the heroes would use it to save the day. 

Lila was quickly tossed to the side, Chat Noir used his Cataclysm to destroy the top spray button, and then Ladybug chucked the can at the akuma. Hairspray practically exploded all over him, covering his lens with a thick coat of the sticky substance and making it impossible for the camera to focus enough to take a picture. Then the yo-yo shot at the camera, breaking the lens and freeing the little purple butterfly to be caught and purified. 

Seeing the magical ladybugs swarm around the city always made Aurore smile. So much so that she almost missed Ladybug and Chat Noir jumping over her roof and landing on the building next to hers. It was a story lower than her apartment building, which gave her a good vantage point to look over at them. It was a bit surprising to see that they had brought Lila with them… and they appeared anything but happy with the girl.

“Thank you so much for saving me! I was so scared, and I have no idea why he was coming after me-”

“Will you stop lying already? There’s no one here to show off for.” Ladybug snapped at the girl, surprising both Lila and Aurore. “We know that you told that poor boy that you would get him a personal interview with Gabriel Agreste to become one of his photographers, and he believed you because you're a Gabriel model. Then when he went to the mansion, at the time you told him to, he was arrested for trespassing!”

Chat Noir put a hand on his partner’s shoulder in an attempt to calm her down, but he didn’t look any happier. “This has got to stop, Lila. We’ve heard about all the things you’ve been doing; lying about having disabilities, sexually harassing Adrien Agreste, getting Marinette Dupain-Cheng expelled from school because she called you out on your lies! Do you not care that your lies are hurting people?”

The facade that Lila had been wearing at first faded into a cruel scowl that caused a cold shiver to crawl down Aurore’s back.

“Do I look like I care? I only tell people what they want to hear. If they’re stupid enough to believe me, then that’s their own fault.”

“And what about the danger you’ve put your family in?” Ladybug asked, seeming almost desperate. “What if Hawkmoth sees that fake interview on the Ladyblog of you claiming to be my best friend? He’ll target you or your family, just to get leverage to get out miraculous!”

Lila let out a manic laugh before stepping closer to Ladybug. “Like I would care about that? If anything, I would gladly help him if it meant taking you down!”

That’s when the girl lunged at the red and black spotted hero, her hands reaching for her ears as Ladybug was knocked back onto the roof in surprise. But before she could rip the jewels from her earlobes, Chat Noir had grabbed Lila by the back of her jacket and flung the girl away from his partner. The italian landed hard on her shoulder and Aurore could see scrapes on her cheek and knees from the impact as Chat helped Ladybug to her feet and checked her ears to make sure her miraculous were still in place.

Aurore made doubly sure that she was out of sight as she kept recording, barely believing that someone would dare try to take Ladybug’s earrings while knowing what would happen to Paris and its people without Ladybug. Lila’s smile reminded her of a feral animal as she stood up. “Now I’ll make both of you regret ever challenging me! Everyone saw you carrying me away, I’ll tell everyone that you beat me up.”

“And why would we even do that?” Chat snapped at her.

“I’ll think of something,” she continued to grin. “A few tears, tear my clothes a bit more, you’ve already given me a few marks to make it more believable. By the time I’m done with the two of you, you’ll be just as infamous as Hawkmoth.”

Chat and Ladybug were alerted by their miraculous that they were down to their last minute and had no choice but to flee, glaring at the girl before jumping away. Aurore continued to record as Lila grabbed the sleeve of her jacket and ripped it at the shoulder, then slapped herself across the face to leave nail marks on her right cheek, opposite of the scrape on the left . She paced around for a moment, muttering to herself before she began crying.

“I don’t know why they did it. *sob* They carried me to the roof, I thought it was to make sure I was alright, but then they started blaming me for the akuma, said that they should have just let it have me and then they wouldn’t have to deal with me anymore. *hicup-sob-hicup* I tried to get away but Ladybug slapped-” she stopped crying suddenly, giving her head a shake “No, I can do  better than that.” Then she started crying again “I tried to get away, but Chat Noir grabbed me and threw me down, it hurt so bad. Then Ladybug slapped me and said that if she ever saw me again, she’d do worse than just scare me. Chat Noir even said he would gladly use his Cataclysm on me. Please, I’m so scared, I don’t know what to do!” 

Then Lila’s face went back to that manic look that gave Aurore the creeps before skipping over to the fire escape and began climbing down. She stopped recording as soon as the girl was out of sight and then played the recording back. She’d never been so relieved to have a good quality phone, the camera had caught everything that happened and picked up every word that was spoken.

She was nearly in a state of panic, indignation, and urgency as she raced inside and down the stairs, calling her producer at KIDZ+ news to call an emergency meeting and get some police there as well. The producer sounded skeptical at first, but when Aurore went on to say that she had proof of someone that was not akumatized trying to steal Ladybug’s earrings, that got her moving.

~oOo~

The entire upper level staff of KIDZ+ and TVi News were present when Aurore arrived. Officer Roger Raincompix had come, along with Mayor Bourgeois. They had been in a meeting when Roger received the call and the mayor insisted on coming, saying that if someone was threatening the heroes of Paris, he wanted to be in the know. She began playing her recording from the beginning, attempting to prove how recent it had been made and that she’d of had no time to doctor the footage. When it came to the footage from the roof… the reaction to her recording had been immediate and about what she had expected; shock, horror, fear, and disgust at the girl’s actions.

“Are you sure this recording is accurate?” Officer Roger asked, looking like he was about to be sick.

“I’m sure,” she said before sliding it towards him. “Check it, put it through every test you can think of to see if it’s authentic. I recorded that video from the roof of my building, it was right by where the akuma battle ended. I’ll give you my address so you can make sure it’s right.”

“I can also say, from a preliminary look, that I didn’t see any cuts, skips, or changes in color or texture which would indicate that this recording has been altered.” Nadja Chamack stated as she restarted the video and looked it over with a more critical eye. “At this point, I’d say that this is authentic, but I agree that we’ll want to run some tests to be absolutely sure before putting in on the news.”

Just then, Roger’s phone rang. He mentioned that it was the station and that he had to answer it. Stepping away, Aurore watched his back go stiff and his brows crease into a deep scowl. “I understand. Are her parents present?” Another pause and he nodded. “Put her in a private interrogation room, and don’t let her talk to anyone else. Tell her that we cannot do anything or properly take her statement unless she has a guardian present. Do what you can to keep her at the station and her mother present. I’ll be in touch very soon.”

Hanging up his phone, he turned back to the group. “Apparently, a Mlle. Lila Rossi has just come to the police station claiming that she was assaulted by Ladybug and Chat Noir. Her injuries that Officer Laurent told me, match the ones that were shown in the video.” He then looked to the President of TVi News. “How long will it take your people to inspect the recording?”

“Since it hasn’t been uploaded to any social media sites and we have the date, location, the phone that recorded the video, and the person who recorded it; not long, maybe a few hours.” She glanced at the clock, reading 11:27am before looking back at Officer Roger. “It could be ready and verified in time for the 6 o’clock news tonight.”

“Get started,” Roger nodded, “I’ll be sending a few of my people from our tech division to observe and double check the work. Once it has been verified, I want copies made for evidence.”

“I will also need a copy,” Mayor Bourgeois spoke up, finally finding his voice after the shock of the video. “If I’m not mistaken Mme. Rossi is employed by the Italian Embassy, meaning this could result in an international incident. If this turns out to be true, I will not allow this horrid girl to remain in my city or to ever set foot on French soil again.”

The TVi President nodded, writing down notes while Officer Roger called his best tech people from the station to drop whatever they were doing and come to the TVi station immediately. Then he turned to Aurore, took her statement, her address, and had her send him a copy of the recording before calling another one of his officers to meet him at that address to compare the video to the scene. As well as sending officers to the Dupain-Cheng Bakery and the Agreste Mansion to get corroborating statements. 

~oOo~

Lila was beginning to get tired, she had been fake crying for hours and really wanted to go home and take a nap. It had become even more taxing when she was forced to call her mother to the station or else the police wouldn’t be able to take her statement. At least her mother had bought her story hook, line, and sinker and was already talking about filing charges against the city of Paris for allowing a couple of vigilante teenagers to run around and hurt her daughter.

It was just after 5pm when Officer Roger, Sabrina’s dad, entered the interrogation room along with Officer Laurent. The younger officer had taken her statement not long after her mother arrived at the station but had told them that, due to the serious accusations being made, it would be best to take this up the chain of command to make sure that nothing was overlooked. That had made Lila nervous at first, but she was confident that they would believe her. After all, she was the one that had been hurt and Ladybug and Chat Noir were nowhere in sight to contradict her story.

“Hello Mme. and Mlle. Rossi, I’m Officer Roger. I want you to tell me what happened.” He said as he placed his tablet and a notebook on the table and pulled out a pen.

“Do I have to do this again? Just thinking about what they did scares me.” Lila squeezed her eyes shut as she pinched her inner thigh to draw tears. Her mother wrapped an arm around her shoulder in comfort, eating it up.

“I understand that this must be difficult, but I need to hear your statement.”

Giving a shaky nod, Lila went into her story again, making sure that her voice trembled a bit and to keep her shoulders hunched. “I don’t know why they did it. *sob* They carried me to the roof, I thought it was to make sure I was alright, but then they started blaming me for the akuma, said that they should have just let it have me and then they wouldn’t have to deal with me anymore. *hicup-sob-hicup* I tried to get away, but Chat Noir grabbed me and threw me down, he even kicked me. It hurt so bad. Then Ladybug slapped me when I was trying to get up and then grabbed my face, it felt like she was going to crush my chin. She said that if she ever saw me again, she’d do worse than just scare me. Chat Noir even said he would gladly use his Cataclysm on me. Please, I’m so scared, I don’t know what to do!” 

Officer Roger nodded as he continued to write everything down. “And you’re willing to testify to this in a court of law?”

Mme. Greta Rossi was already nodding to the affirmative. “Yes, those incompitent vigilantes are going to pay for hurting my daughter. I want to file lawsuits against them for assault and intimidation.”

Roger nodded in understanding but then gave Mme. Rossi a curious look. “I understand that you are upset, but I don’t see how Ladybug and Chat Noir could be labeled as incompitent. They have always defeated the akumas sent by Hawkmoth.”

“That’s not true, my daughter’s school was closed for months, months, because those two couldn’t beat the principal of her school after he was akumatized and damaged the school.”

He blinked at her. “Mme. Rossi, I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but our daughters are enrolled in the same school and attend the same class. There have been days when an akuma will cause the school to open a bit late or close early, but it has never been closed for months. And as for M. Damocles being akumatized, that occurred after school hours, with the majority of the battle taking place off of school grounds, and he was returned to normal before the end of the night. It did not interrupt the school at all.”

Hearing this, Mme. Rossi’s mouth dropped open before turning to look at her daughter, who had gone suspiciously quiet and was ducking down a bit in her chair.

“And as for the lawsuits that you wish to file, you should be made aware that there lawsuits being filed against your daughter by three different parties for assault, slander, intimidation, sexual harassment, and a few other charges.”

“WHAT!?”

“Yes, Madame. Some of those charges are being filed by the city of Paris, itself.”

“How dare you!” Mme. Rossi yelled as she stood so quickly that she knocked her chair backwards onto the floor. “My daughter was assaulted by those two and the city has the nerve to blame Lila? I won’t stand for this!”

Officer Roger stayed calm as he turned on his tablet and played the video he’d queued up. As Mme. Rossi watched the video, her anger ebbed away into surprise at the things the two heroes  said and how Lila didn’t deny it; then shock when Lila attacked Ladybug for her earrings only to see that she was injured because Chat Noir had protected his partner; back to anger as she watched her daughter rip her clothes, scratch her own face, and then practice the lines she had told the police, almost word for word. Officer Laurent was forced to come around the table to steady Greta before righting her chair so she could sit down. 

“For the record, Mme. Rossi, multiple people have inspected this recording, including TVi News and members of the Paris Police Department, and have come to the conclusion that it is authentic. No tampering whatsoever. Your daughter assaulted Ladybug in an attempt to steal her miraculous, which is designated as a terrorist act as she and Chat Noir are the defenders of Paris, and currently our best defense against the known terrorist, Hawkmoth.”

Lila had been silent since giving her statement again, she hadn’t expected her mother talking about the school being closed or Officer Roger destroying that lie so easily, but that was something she might have been able to recover from if given the chance. But now with that recording, actual hard evidence that proved that she’d been lying, had attacked Ladybug, and had faked her injuries and lied to the police… there was hardly a single thin straw for her to grab at, but she had to try.

Lila turned up the tears as she desperately gripped her mother’s arm. “Mom, you don’t actually believe them, do you? You know I would never do the things they’re saying I did. That video has to be a fake! Please, you have to believe me!” 

To her dismay, her mother removed her grip on her arm, stood from her chair, and began pacing the room. “Who are the other parties that are filing lawsuits against her?”

“Mom!”

“Be quiet!” Mme. Rossi snapped at her daughter, glad that her mouth snapped shut before slumping lower in her seat. “Who else has she hurt?”

“M. Agreste is planning on filing lawsuits for sexual harassment and slander. The Dupain-Chengs are filing lawsuits for slander, intimidation, and harassment. I have looked into the school and found that Mlle. Dupain-Cheng was indeed expelled after your daughter accused her of assault and theft, but later recanted her story while claiming that she suffered from a disease that makes her lie uncontrollably. Mlle. Dupain-Cheng also claims that your daughter has been bullying her by spreading lies and rumors about her to isolate her from her friends.”

“She’s lying! Marinette’s the one that’s been bullying me!”

“I SAID BE QUIET!”

Lila jumped in her chair that time before cowering, she’d never seen her mother this angry before. It was actually kind of scary, but even worse… she was sure that her mother wasn’t going to support her or back up her lies. She was on her own.

~oOo~

When the news broke an hour later, Mme. Rossi had never been more humiliated in her life. The Embassy had called her as well, saying that she would be on leave pending an investigation, meaning that she would be lucky to still have her job by the end of the week. After leaving her daughter at the police station to face the charges against her, Greta had made a beeline for the school, demanding to know why they had never contacted her about the truancy, the disabilities, or her daughter’s supposed tumble down the stairs. The teacher and principal had given her less than satisfactory answers like “Lila said you were busy and we didn’t want to disturb you” and “she promised that she would get us those doctors notes”. She was on the phone with the Board of Governors before she was off the property. Since they had also seen the news, she could easily say that they were almost as upset as she was and the two incompitent educators would be lucky if they were still employed at the end of the week. 

The visit to the Dupain-Cheng Bakery was even more enlightening. From the stories Lila had told her during the past few months, she expected Marinette to be cold, callous, and rude. But that couldn’t have been further from the truth. Sabine Cheng had invited her up to the livingroom to speak and Marinette soon joined them. She was a shy but sweet girl that offered to get her a glass of water and whatever she would like from the bakery. To be honest, she had wanted to try the pastries from the shop months ago, but had made the mistake of believing her daughter when she said that they were terrible. So she asked for a berry scone and Marinette gave a kind smile before going down stairs and coming back up with the scone, a few different macaroons, a croissant, and a chocolate chip cookie. 

When Mme. Rossi looked at her in surprise, Marinette gave her a kind smile. “You look upset, I thought having a variety of sweets might help cheer you up.”

The sincerity on the girl's face nearly brought tears to her eyes. She couldn’t believe that her daughter had been tormenting this sweet girl just because she had called her out on her lies. She asked the girl honestly, what her daughter had done to her. And although hesitant, Marinette told her everything; from the threats and lies, to acting like she had been pushed down the stairs and planting her necklace in Marinette’s locker; if it could even be called that since it didn’t lock. 

After that, Marinette asked to be excused and Greta proceeded to speak with Sabine. She admitted that she’d had no knowledge as to what Lila had been up to, that the school had never contacted her about any of the incidents, she had already filed a complaint with the Board of Governors, and recommended that they do the same. Despite Lila’s terrible treatment of Marinette, Sabine accepted the advice with gratitude but informed her that they would still be filing the lawsuits against Lila. Greta stated that she hadn’t come to change their minds, but to hear Marinette’s side of the story.

Just before she left, Marinette hurried down the stairs with a small white silk square with royal purple flowered embroidery. In one corner, the initials G.R. were stitched in elegant script and looked to be hand sewn. “It’s a handkerchief, my way of saying ‘thank you’ for hearing me out. Other than my parents and the police officers that came by this morning, you were the first person to really listen to what I had to say about Lila. Thank you.”

Not bothering to hold back tears this time, Greta accepted the gift and asked the girl for a hug, which she easily gave. Then turning to Sabine, she told her. “You are wonderful parents, I am so sorry that my daughter has put you through so much. I just hope after this, she’ll learn that actions have consequences.”

After that, Greta jumped in a cab and made her way over to the Agreste Mansion. This was a completely different experience compared to the Dupain-Chengs. She never actually spoke to Gabriel Agreste, only Adrien and Gabriel’s assistant Nathalie. Adrien explained that he discovered that Lila was lying on the first day when she claimed to be best friends with Ladybug and the descendant of the wielder of Fox Miraculous. That was when Ladybug had shown up and chastised her for lying about her. Adrien agreed due to the danger of tempting Hawkmoth. 

He went on to say how Lila claimed that she was traveling the world with her mother and was friends with all sorts of celebrities. If Mme. Rossi wanted a more complete list of her lies, to check out the Ladyblog, as she had done several interviews. Adrien also went on to talk about how during their first photoshoot together, Lila wouldn’t keep her hands off of him and it made him uncomfortable. Lila had told him that unless he wanted Marinette to suffer even more, he’d stop complaining.

When Greta mentioned that she was told that the photoshoot was a relationship announcement between the two teens, and that she’d had no idea that she was a Gabriel model, Nathalie pulled up Lila’s contract on her tablet. The one that Greta had supposedly signed to grant her underaged daughter permission to work as a model. Mme. Rossi told the assistant at a glance that it wasn’t her signature and Lila had never shown her any such paperwork. To which Nathalie informed her that Gabriel would also be adding forgery and fraud to the list of charges being filed against her daughter, Greta simply nodded in acceptance. After all, forgery and fraud weren’t nearly as bad as assault, sexual harassment, or terrorism. 

~oOo~

When her daughter was brought to trial two weeks later, Greta Rossi sat dutifully behind her daughter but refused to testify on her behalf, not that it would have helped her. Between all the charges that were filed against her by the city of Paris, the Agreste family, the Dupain-Cheng family, and the investigation into the school and Lila’s actions by the Board of Governors; her daughter had no leg to stand on. She also made the mistake of lying to the judge on the first day and committing perjury, which only added to the charges.

The trial lasted for three days due to all the evidence and testimonies brought against her and the fact that Lila was the daughter of a diplomat. However, the evidence was overwhelming and the Italian government had already revoked any immunity that Lila might have had. The jury found her guilty and the judge declared that the sentencing would lie in the domain of the Italian government. Although it was decided that Lila would not be permitted to return to France.

Mme. Rossi made it clear to the court that she was already preparing to send her daughter to a juvenile corrections center in Italy, where she would remain until her 18th birthday and the courts would decide further sentencing. 

Lila had screamed at her mother, accusing her of betraying her only daughter and that she was not her mother anymore. She had also hissed and attempted to attack Marinette for “ruining her life because she couldn’t keep her nose out of her business” and “why couldn’t you have just killed yourself”. Greta did her best to ignore the cruel words, but found herself pulling out the handkerchief that Marinette had given her. It was a small comfort, but it was more than what she deserved after Lila had hurt so many people.
