How about a one of the one where the family didn't know about male reader past and found scars. Let's see the justice league/titans/young justice reactions to readers past
R.I.P Deathstroke cause the moment anyone sees him there all about to jump on him🤣
Yup, RIP Deathstroke. Batman will kill him. Also, I think I wrote in a new style... No dialog at all.
Summary: (Y/N) used to be a weapon for Deathstroke. The batfamily didn't know.
Warnings: protective everyone, (Y/N) trained as a weapon, Deathstroke is awful, The family is read to kill everyone.
Tumblr media
(Y/N) pulled his sleeves down. He couldn't let anybody see those scars. And nobody can't know about them. Once they do, they will kick him out and he will be back on his own again. He couldn't be back alone on his own.
Sometimes he got nightmares about his past. The things he had to do were absolutely horrible and it would make Batman wince and shudder. Some of the habits were outright impossible to shake off.
Sometimes he would skip meals when the mission has failed. Or he would overwork himself when he could hear Deathstroke in his head. He wanted to get the bastard out of his head, but he couldn't. No matter what he tried he couldn't.
He opened his window and stepped out on the roof. It was dark and cold, middle of winter here in Gotham City. He took his pack of cigarettes out and his lighter.
God knows he needed it today. Deathstroke's voice today was a bastard today. No matter what he did today, he heard Deathstroke. Judging him... Putting him down for everything he did.
He took a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He lit it, guarding the cigarette with his hand. He removed the hand when it was lit. He took a very long drag.
After a few moments, he let the smoke out. He never had actually smoked when you let the smoke to your lungs, instead he kept the smoke in his mouth.
He looked down, closing his eyes. He still remembers how he came to Gotham. He fought tooth and nail to run. He went through hell and back to get to America itself.
Somehow he made his way to Gotham city. He knew that he would blend in there, with the amount of people on the streets, especially kids. It wasn't a good thing, but hey, if it helped him, then sure.
None the less, he tried to atone on the streets. He helped out people whenever he could, especially with the main criminals in Gotham. Whenever he could mess their plans, he would did it.
But there was one thing that he has vowed to never do again. He has vowed to never kill again. He will never take a life ever again. He messed with Black Mask more times than he can remember, but his favorite person to mess is Riddler.
That man needed to knocked down a few pegs. Well, not a few, a lot of more. And he loved every minute of it.
The only problem here was Batman. He knows when someone else gets involved with his criminals and (Y/N) knew he had to watch out for Batman. Seeing the four Robins, Batman had an adoption problem.
Well, it had more to do with adopting probably troubled kids and turning them into the vigilantes. He didn't need that. Especially with Deathstroke looking for him. That wouldn't be a good idea.
But did that stop Batman from trying to capture (Y/N). Oh no. Batman and (Y/N) saw one another by pure accident. (Y/N) was looking for the explosives that he heard Penguin had.
And Batman has heard it too. That's when the two saw one another. He was accompanied with Robin and it seemed that they were looking for him too. (Y/N) wasted no time as he ran away. Robin went after him and that's something that nobody would want to see.
Robin is the closest thing to Batman with his effectiveness and plans. And that was something thar was scary to think about. (Y/N) ran like never in his life. He had no intentions of fighting the little demon.
He managed to escape that night, but Batman wouldn't give up. He was eventually taken and then introduced into the family. It took a while for him to relax, to start trusting his now brothers and a new dad, not to mention a grandfather.
He made sure that absolutely no one saw his scars. He made sure that nobody knew anything about his past too. After some time, he felt more relaxed and he could finally feel free. He was very close with his brothers now and his father too.
Alfred was his favorite though. Not that he had favorites, but Alfred was just so sassy.
Bruce was more than happy to see him relaxed and happy so he introduced him to the Justice League. The meeting went well and (Y/N) got uncles and an aunt, who adored him dearly. Bruce didn't even want to think what would they do if (Y/N) got hurt by anyone. They didn't know how brutal his past was and (Y/N) would have liked it to stay that way.
One day the mission went tits up to put it bluntly. (Y/N) got seriously hurt trying to get intel and he was rushed to the hospital wing. He started working as a (V/N) after a year after being at Bruce's. He was rushed to the hospital wing where the doctors got to work.
Bruce was impatient, waiting for the news. (Y/N) had to pull through. Right? Everyone was quiet as they waited for the news. Was the intel really worth it? Where did that mission before anything else?
Bruce rubbed his eyes. For the first time since the mission started, he wanted to rip this cowl off. These times, when he wanted to rip his cowl off, were very rare.
After hours of waiting, Bruce was finally allowed to see his son. He was shocked by the mere scars covering him. A part of his chest was exposed and there were clearly scars thar looked old.
Worse of all, it all looked deliberate. Bruce paled and the rest were no different. Bruce thought that his knees that were going to buckle and he would fall down.
What has he been through? After (Y/N) woke up, Bruce asked him about it and that's when (Y/N) broke down, telling them all everything. The brutal training, the punishments and everything that happens if he fails a mission.
Bruce saw red when he heard that it was Deathstroke. He wanted to go after him, but his son needs him more now. He embraced his son tightly, letting him let out the things that he has buried. (Y/N) cried for a while.
Bruce just held him tightly, making a promise to himself to get Deathstroke. The Justice League listened and they all promised to get Deathstroke. He won't be dead, but he will be recovering for years after they get him.
Damian and Dick invited (Y/N) to the Teen Titans. (Y/N) didn't have anything else to do that day and he has decided to go. Bruce didn't tell anything to his brothers per (Y/N)'s request. Bruce wanted to, but he wanted to respect (Y/N)'s wishes.
Damian and Dick noticed that something has changed in (Y/N)'s demeanor and something has shifted in Bruce's and (Y/N)'s relationship, but they couldn't pinpoint what has changed.
But (Y/N) seemed a bit more comfortable and that was all that it mattered to all of them. Dick has already introduced (Y/N) to the Teen Titans and everyone liked him a lot. He got along with everyone and it seemed natural to him.
Dick was happy that his brother got along with his team. It was nice to see that he was socializing with kids his age. Kori absolutely adored him, often calling him baby bird and just hugging him whenever she could.
(Y/N) didn't mind her hugs. They were warm and always tight. And they were always comforting. (Y/N) went to Dick's room, tired from the patrol from last night. He also wanted to take a shower, considering that it was hot and he was wearing a long sleeved T-shirt. Dick provided him with clothes when he was in the shower so that meant that he would have to step out of the bathroom to get it, scars exposed.
In theory, it should be fine, right?
It would be if Dick didn't walk in just as (Y/N) stepped out. Dick stopped dead in his tracks. Damian also walked in, looking for (Y/N). The trio looked at one another in shock. (Y/N) took a step back and that snapped Dick from his shock.
After dressing into the clothes that were brought to him in the bathroom. He thought about escaping, but he knew that he couldn't. He stepped out where Damian and Dick were waiting. (Y/N) told them both what has happened.
To say Dick and Damian were enraged was an understatement of the year. Damian was already hatching a plan to get revenge and Kori, probably sensing the tension in the room.
(Y/N) told her, hanging his head down. He knew what Deathstroke has done to the Teen Titans. Kori stayed quiet for a moment before hugging (Y/N) tightly. (Y/N) teared up a little and slowly the team piled into the room.
(Y/N) explained everything to them and he got hugs and reassuring words. And something that he didn't know, they all swore revenge.
The last people to find out about (Y/N)'s past are Jason and his Outlaws. Jason, instead of finding out on his own, was called by Bruce to let him know. (Y/N) didn't want to be alone at the manor and since nobody was going to be there, Jason offered to watch (Y/N).
(Y/N) allowed Bruce to tell Jason since he didn't have any type of strength left to let him know. Jason got to working. Blankets, snacks, comfort foods too and movies and TV shows.
Artemis, Red Arrow and Bizzarro could only watch in silence as Jason did everything. They heard (Y/N) was coming, but why did Jason need to do this?
When they tried to ask him, he would brush them off. Now they were all a little bit worried now. They have met (Y/N) prior to this and they liked the kid.
What has happened?
Jason stopped for a moment and everyone watched as (Y/N) entered. Jason immediately hugged his brother, leading him to the couch, still holding his brother tightly. He wrapped his brother in a blanket, moving the snacks closer.
Everyone was very curious and sat around the two brothers. (Y/N) just put his face into Jason's chest and Jason didn't mind it. After getting permission to tell everyone, Jason explained everything to his team.
Well, Deathstroke wasn't going to live very long if the Outlaws get their hands on the bastard. But for now, they will help (Y/N) in any way they can.
The promise of revenge came true a couple of months later. (Y/N) wasn't on this mission, but the Batfamily was. They didn't expect to find Deathstroke, but it was perfect.
The family thought like never before, with so much rage and anger clouding their minds, so much red in their visions that it looked liked they were possessed.
After beating Deathstroke to a pulp, they were happy. They made every punch and kick worth it.
Bruce took a deep breath, to finally calm himself. He fulfilled the promise to his son and now he could finally let go of that anger. The others felt amazing too. They have fulfilled their promises and (Y/N) could feel better.

Big bear
Halsin x reader
Warnings: AOB, size kink, age gap, teasing, feelings, tav insert
I just want Astarion and Halsin 🤣
Tumblr media
The first time you met Halsin, you wished it played out better, you felt like a fool.
The group had successfully found Halsin and killed the goblin group. Not fully aware that the bear was indeed Halsin, but the bear was helping with the fight so it was a bonus. When he shifted you’d stared in shock at the size of him, gods he’d throw you over your shoulder easily. You’d cursed your dirty thoughts seeing as you were covered in dirt and blood and just ended a fight. You stood behind the group waiting for Tav to talk out their plan with the Druid. You were in pain, you’d wandered a bit away checking yourself for wounds finding a large scrape on your side.
“Are you alright?” You jumped turning around to see the Druid. You pushed your shirt down and flushed a bit.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you” he smiled kindly and you shook your head slightly.
“It’s ok” you said quietly finding no energy to heal the wound yourself, maybe one of the other members would have a healing potion.
“May I?” He asked and you frowned as he gestured to your wound. You hesitated, but nodded lifting the side of your shirt up again. His hand began to glow yellow and a warm sensation ran through your side as the wound healed. You sighed in relief lowering your now ruined shirt back down.
“Thank you” you said and he nodded a smile still on his face. He had kind eyes and a kind smile despite his scary scarred face and big body.
“Are you alright?” You heard Tav called and nodded giving them your attention.
“Come, we’ve got more goblins to kill” they smiled and you nodded again following them.
After the goblin killing festive you were done, you didn’t want to walk back, didn’t want to move, but alas you did. You followed Halsin back to the hollowed grove, the teiflings already packed and ready for celebrations. You were invited for a party back at camp, Tav agreed for it to be later as you headed back to the druids. Khaga was cast out, seeing Halsin angry was a little nerve wracking, but also somehow hot on his part. Geez you needed some wine and sleep. Once Tav and Halsin finished he gave his thanks to the rest of the group and you. You gave a small smile and nod, avoiding your attraction to him and wanting to sleep. Being back at camp was a blessing, you hated how gross you felt though as you washed your face in the water. Your body ached all over as you sat back and sighed.
“You’ve had a rough day” you jumped again at his voice, for a man so big he moved silently.
“I’m sorry little one I keep scaring you” he chuckled lightly and your whole body tensed at the name before you flushed.
“I’ve had a hard day” you grumbled embarrassed.
“I know you have” he sat down beside you watching the lake also, your body tensed as the smell of alpha filled your nose.
“How’s your wound feeling?” He asked looking to you.
“It’s healed, thank you” you said giving him a glance.
“You seem to still be in pain though, have you other injury’s?” He asked a frown on his face and you shook your head.
“All that fighting makes my body hurt, I don’t have any more wounds, just muscle and joint pain” you explained.
“I just need to rest” you said sighing exhaustedly.
“I won’t keep you up then” he said going to stand.
“No it’s ok, I won’t sleep till everyone else does” you said as he sat back down again. You winced as you moved to get more comfortable. You sighed closing your eyes and hanging your head. Today was hard, there was no doubt about, how your group members can keep a party going was beyond you.
“Hold my hand” the Druid suddenly said and you frowned looking to the hand he offered. You laid your palm on his hesitantly as a magic glow began to emit and warmth filled your body again like before. Your aches and pains went away, nothing but soothing warmth replacing them. You practically melted eyes closing with a smile as you relished the feeling. Halsin allowed you to bask in it before you grew embarrassed and took your hand away.
“Thank you” you whispered as he smiled a slight daze in his eyes before someone called him.
“I’m being summoned” he chuckled and you nodded as he bid his goodbyes and left. You slept better than ever that night, body not in pain and a faint warmth still lingering. When morning came you helped the grove pack their remaining belongings, some more eager than others by the bickering you heard. Halsin was also lending a hand with the heavier stuff, lifting it all easily, muscles flexing. You cursed yourself, you shouldn’t be ogling such a alpha as great as him. Halsin stayed at your camp while your group tried to replenish their supplies after the big fight. It was slow going so you headed out in your own to the few traders in the grove. You got some health potions, food and some things for the others. Apparently you over bought because you struggled with your pack on your back as you went to leave.
“Need some help?” You turned seeing Halsin smiling, his scent filling your nose again and nodding to your backpack. You hesitated, but shook your head it’d be fine.
“You’ll fall over backwards, here” the man insisted and shrugged off your pack carefully before putting it on his shoulder.
“Better?” He chuckled and you flushed, but nodded.
“I didn’t realise you came too” you said as you began to walk back to camp.
“I said some things to clear up back at the sanctuary, a new leader” he said and you frowned.
“You’re not going back after everything’s done?” You asked.
“No” he shook his head, but there was sadness behind his voice.
“Oh” you muttered.
“I’m sorry, it’s your home it must be hard to up and leave” you said.
“It is hard I won’t lie to you, but they’re in good hands, besides the sanctuary felt too comfortable, I enjoy the freeness of the camp, the heat of the battle” he chuckled shaking his head and you smiled.
“And besides wouldn’t want you to get wounded again without a healer” he said chuckling lightly with some flirt on his tongue and your body froze.
“Did I say something wrong?” He asked worried turning to you.
“No- I” you flushed as he tilted his head to study you.
“You’ve never had a lover?” He asked and you shook your head avoiding eye contact.
“Apologies I did not know” he said guilty and your stomach churned.
“It’s alright, you did nothing wrong, I-“ gods you felt stupid, you don’t know how to handle flirting or feelings, too stuck in your romance novels and dream prince and accepting nobody really wanted you.
“We should move” your walls rose in your mind and you pushed past him continuing your journey back to camp.
Halsin followed you, you were curious to him, you had no scent, whether you were hiding it on purpose or it was the parasite he didn’t know. The warmth he felt when he healed your aches though felt like an omega, did something happen to you in the pass to make you conceal your true nature?
You made it back to camp, thanking Halsin quietly as he dropped the pack off by your tent. You gave everyone what you got them, whether requested or not before sitting in your tent and reading. Nightfall came, thankfully it’s been a quiet day and everyone could rest easy.

A small exhale exited your mouth - oh, you always swore that you were over him, but seeing him walk past you. He's just standing there, breathing beside you - all the while your heart heaves in pain. You wonder if he still wears the same perfume - if he still wears the same lucky pants during race day. Or has he changed?
"Nice weather today," he smiled, gently settling down beside Carlos. You promised that you were over him - but now that he was sitting across from you - fuck, was it hard.
How could ever get over him? How could you ever get over a man who brought two umbrellas just to keep you dry? "It'll be easier to race, right?" you placed a hand on Carlos' chin in an effort to rid that man from your periphery. "Depends on how Max behaves," Carlos chuckles while pressing a kiss to your lips.
"Oh, a little decorum for the minors here." Charles chuckled while pointing at Oscar. "Oscar, this is what true love looks like." your eyes narrowed teasingly at the younger man and he rolled his eyes. Yep, this was true love. "Congrats on the engagement, by the way!" Lando congratulates while raising his champagne glass.
You exchange a side-glance with Charles. He wasn't smiling - and that somehow made you feel better.

"How much did you pay for your engagement ring?" a street-interviewer suddenly invades your privacy. Carlos gives you a soft glance and you nod, seeing that you had time and there wasn't anything wrong with a little interviewing. "I paid for less than what she's worth," he chuckled - not taking his eyes off you. "Well how much do you think she's worth?" the man asked and he shrugs.
"I'd say all of the jewels in the world - then multiply it by infinity." he laughed while muttering the last word. Carlos absolutely adored you. "He's just bluffing because of the cameras, do you really think that?" your eyebrows merged into each other - he's only said 'i love you' as much as there were fingers in your hands.
You weren't aware that his love was this deep.
"I haven't said it enough - but yeah." he played with the plastic bag on his right hand. To your surprise, the man suddenly turns in your direction. "Do you think that you're worth that much?" he placed the microphone a few inches away from your lips but Carlos interrupts him. "I think that I can answer this one," he glanced at you - and you silently nodded.
"She's worth so much more than that, and this engagement ring is not even a fraction of what I feel for her."
"But if you're spending this much money, what do you get in return?" the interviewer bitterly asked and Carlos couldn't help but laugh a little. He's had years of experience in media training. He could explain his side as eloquently as this man asked his question rudely. "What do I get in return?" Carlos repeated the question. "Yep."
"I get a partner that is loyal to me - a partner that would choose me everyday when there are thousands of men much better than me. I get the mother of my children and a woman that'll be beside me until I die - and this engagement ring is absolutely nothing compared to whatever precious gift she gives me everyday." he smiled at you.
Your eyes twinkled a little bit - you were falling in love with him for the second time. Carlos was even more deeper than what you initially thought - so much more sensible and polite. "Okay, but are you saying that everyone has to spend so much money just to have the bare minimum?" the man inquires and Carlos shakes his head.
"I'll be clear and say that what she gives me is beyond the bare minimum, and it really depends on how much a person makes." he answers and you nod. "It's all about the feelings that come with giving a present," you bite your lower lip and the man frowned. "How much do you earn?" he turned towards Carlos.
"Okay, thank you for interviewing us." he pulled you away - quickly fading into the packed New York crowd.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You weren't prepared to face him alone.
It was a stormy night - a few minutes before your spontaneous engagement dinner with Carlos and the Grid began. The other drivers were in the other room - belting their asses off to singing 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion while you prepared your signature drinks. You were the only person inside the kitchen - until Charles decided to make his way.
"So, are you really going to marry him?" he inquired in a nonchalant tone. A decade ago, you wouldn't even entertain the thought of dating Carlos Sainz - but now, all you wanted to do was marry him. "What's that supposed to mean?" you asked, eyebrows merging into each other. That tone implied something else.
He placed his hands on the counter, staring deep into your eyes. "Let's not do this, please." he pleaded, searching for something behind your face. A hidden longing. Wishful thinking, maybe?
"We always broke up then got back with each other. This is the nature of our relationship, please don't make the wrong decision by marrying someone that cannot handle you." he proposed and you couldn't help but be offended in behalf of your fiancee. "You cannot handle him - he's boring and simple. You are someone that's so fucking explosive. You need someone interesting." he begged.
"Boring? My relationship with Carlos is not exciting - I must admit. It started off in the most boring way - as acquaintances. And our love may be different from what we shared. It's not exciting, or explosive - but it's so fucking sure. I know that I'll choose him everyday and he'll do the same. Something that I cannot guarantee with anyone else." you breathed, lifting the tray off the table and making your way towards the karaoke room.
You'd always choose Carlos, because he was your true love.

Momo: Yuki?! Thank you for your hard work!
Momo: 
Tumblr media

Yuki: Then I’ll turn into a radish now. I’ll even add chili peppers free of charge
Momo: lololol
Momo: I only see you like this when you’re tired…are you okay? I can talk to you as much as you want, but is there anything else I could do for you?

Momo: Driver?
Yuki: 
Tumblr media
Momo: You fell asleep…was I wrong…
Yuki: you were right up until the v
Momo: lololol I was close
Momo: Wait, is your word “a drive”?!
Yuki: yeah, somehow i want to go on a drive with you rather than talk through rabbichat
Yuki: it’s about time your magazine shoot wrapped up
Momo: Ahhh!!! Right!!!!! That was the plan but…
Momo: We’re waiting to shoot the last images with the sunset in the background, but there are clouds obstructing it…
Yuki: the clouds are holding momo back….
Momo: 
Tumblr media
Momo: I’m sorry to keep you waiting, it might be better to call it off for today…
Yuki: i’ll wait for you
Momo: huh
Yuki: i’ll wait for you. I don't think i’ll do anything if i just sit here in front of a computer screen
Momo: Yukiiiiiiii~~~~~~
Yuki: i know
Momo: I haven’t even said it yet!!!!! But the fact that you knew I was about to call you handsome makes you ultra handsome!!!!! >u<😍😆😍💚 
Momo: Haah… and I’m double nervous now because I was staring at a picture I took of you during your idol star costume fitting right before you messaged me 😍💚 
Yuki: hehe, you were staring at me?
Yuki: ah, I haven’t filled the idol star survey yet 
Momo: It must’ve been tough since you have so much on your plate, especially the composing stuff 😭😭
Yuki: What kind of questions did you get?
Momo: Mostly questions about princely stuff 🤔 “have you ever thought about being a prince?” something like that!
Yuki: never
Momo: Obviously! Yuki is already a handsome prince who takes me out on drives 🤴 ✨ 
Momo: There were also questions about whether I read adventure books where the prince fights to save the princess, especially as kids!
Yuki: i didn’t. we didn’t have books like that at home
Momo: I bet a dad like that wouldn’t buy those kinda books! 😆
Yuki: i knew such stories existed though. I thought it was weird to voluntarily go through to such lengths just to save a princess.
Yuki: why not leave it to a strong valiant knight. he has a better shot at succeeding anyways
Momo: That’s right!!!! lolol it would be meaningless to go help then get beat up and defeated 🤣
Momo: But the Yuki I know wouldn’t leave it up to some strong knight, he’d rush to the rescue himself 
Yuki: You think so?
Momo: For the juniors’ sake, you would greet the producers and tell them to “take care of those children”, then you strike a conversation with them during recordings! You’re so cool and dependable!
Momo: That’s the Yuki I know!
Yuki: thank you, Momo
Yuki: If you were the captured one and not the princess, I would definitely come running.
Yuki: So, if you don’t want to put me in danger, don’t keep secrets from me.
Momo: Yuki…
Momo: I’m sorry to interrupt this very heartfelt moment, but the sun is setting!! I’m gonna dash to wrap this up, so let’s talk about this in person!!!!!!!!!!
Momo: I’ll never do anything that would put you in danger, I promise, and I won't let you do anything reckless!!!!
Yuki: you better keep that promise
Yuki: I might not have a horse carriage or tea that’d suit a princess, but I’ll be waiting for you in my own car with momorin for you.
Momo: You are too good ✨ ‼️
Momo: Yuki, you’re the absolute best prince!
Momo:

Hey, enjoyed the Evan story very much 😍
When was the moment Evan realised he had feelings for reader? Can you say a little about his thoughts? 🥺
Okay! I am sooo flattered that I get so much feedback for Evan!
And I am really happy that you like him, too, because I fell in love with him.
And that's why I wrote a little bit about him this morning... (Not even 24h after I said I wouldn't write for him soon 🤣)
Evan's thoughts of what happens in "I need you now"
warnings: alcohol use - that's all
word count: 1,1k
Brothers and Beers
Pub conversations
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As Evan entered the bar, he noticed his brother immediately. The wild curls and broad shoulders being unmistakable his. He patted him on his back, and the older one turned to greet Evan.
“Hey little brother, glad you could make it! I was a little worried after our call today. You sounded a little confused.”
Evan made an apologizing grimace as he slumped down on the chair next to Walter.
“Yeah, hi! I was just a little distracted. We got a new neighbor and I saw her struggling with all the boxes. I was just about to go out and offer my help to her when you called.”
“New neighbor, huh? I guess she’s cute if you wanted to lend a hand.”
Walter chuckled deeply, a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. 
“You know, you could have just told me. I’m the last person to keep you away from a woman. If you ask me, it’s about time you get back in the saddle. I hope you went out and helped her after the call?”
“I wanted to, but she was already gone.”
As always, Walter could read the face of his younger brother without thinking twice. Evan seemed to really regret that he hadn’t met the new girl. That was good. He was alone for too long. 
“So, she’s really cute, huh? Next time, just ignore your old grumpy brother and go for the girl, jerk!”
Walter ruffled through the short hair of his brother before he raised his beer to his lips.
******************************
“Long shift? You look like shit!”
Evan looked at Walter as he sat down next to him. He held out the beer that he already ordered for his brother.
“You know how it is… And the same goes for you today. You look like a train hit you, kiddo.”
“It was a long shift, yeah. And the last call somehow got me.”
“What happened? Fatalities?”
It was ridiculous, Evan thought. His brother was dealing with really awful shit daily, and yet he was here, whining because a girl he didn’t even know broke her arm. He felt stupid as Walter watched him expectantly. 
“Nah, just forget it. It wasn’t really serious. It was just,... remember I told you about the new neighbor a few days ago? I had her in my truck tonight. She got hit by another car.”
Walter glanced at his brother and Evan recognized honest concern in his look.
“She’s okay, just a broken arm and in shock. But I felt horrible seeing her like that. I’m just too much of a pussy for this job, I guess”
Walter sighed as he saw the shame on his brother's face. 
“Listen, it’s hard to see someone you care for like this. Don’t be too hard on you. I would be way more concerned if you didn’t care.”
Evan shut his eyes, nodding, and took a sip from his beer, thankful that he had Walter to share his thoughts.
“You know, you should go and see how she’s doing.”
Walter grinned and raised his eyebrow suggestively, making his little brother chuckle.
******************************
“Okay, now that’s an unfamiliar look on your face. Don’t you know that the Marshalls don’t look happy, ever? What happened?”
Walter laughed as he watched Evan sit down. His brother was grinning from ear to ear and Walter enjoyed seeing him like this. It had been way too long.
“I took you at your word. After my shift, I went to see if the girl with the broken arm needed some help.”
“Looks like she did”
Walter shared one of his rare smiles with his brother.
“I went grocery shopping for her. And then I made her dinner.”
“Going the extra mile, I see”
Walter was positively entertained by the unfamiliar enthusiasm of his brother. He needed to see the girl who made Evan lose all hesitations. She must be a ten.
“I could convince her to sit down and read while I was working. She’s too cute when she’s lost in her book. And talking to her is so easy. It felt strangely domestic. In the best way.”
Evan’s eyes were shining as he talked about his evening and Walter was pleased to get to listen to him.
“Write her a good night text when you get home”
“I didn’t get her number.”
Walter sighed as he saw the joy in Evan’s face change into regret.
******************************
“Okay, by the way you are grinning into your phone, I guess you got the number of your girl now?”
Walter put the two bottles of beer on the table and joined his brother. 
“I decided it couldn’t hurt to see if she’s hungry. And she let me make her dinner again. And yeah, this time I remembered to ask for her number.”
Evan put the phone in his pocket as he raised the beer to his brother.
“My choices concerning the food weren’t the best.”
He chuckled as he thought back at the mistake he had made.
“But I had a nice evening and I think she enjoyed it too.”
“So your second date went just as well as the first?”
“It wasn’t a date! I mean, maybe it felt like a date. But it’s not like I asked her. I should have asked her, right? If this is a date?”
Walter couldn’t hold back the smile forming on his face when he saw that teasing his little brother still worked.
“Relax, Evan. I’m sure she likes you, too. Else, you wouldn’t have her number now. Or at least she likes your cooking skills. Talking of, wrong choices?”
“Steak isn’t the best thing to serve someone whose arm is in a cast. But we managed. I helped her.”
Walter’s hand ran over his face, hiding both his amusement and disbelief. Evan’s reddened ears told him that his brother was mortified enough, so he bit down another taunting comment.
******************************
Walter glanced at his watch before he took another sip of his coffee.
It wasn’t characteristic for Evan to be that late. He sighed and signaled the waitress that he wanted to pay. He should end his lunch break and get back to work. But first he’d check if Evan was okay.
He had just taken out the phone from his pocket when the message arrived:
Hey, sorry Walt. I got a little side tracked. Won’t make it to lunch break today. See you tomorrow night after shift? Got some things to tell you.
Walter smiled at his phone screen before he started to type.
Tell her I said hello. And I want to meet her. Want to see the woman who made my little brother forget everything, even lunch.

So, this is gonna be a bit of a read, but I thought of a little AU idea and I kind of wrote a mock Prologue for it???
(yes I drew little doodles for it. End me lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since it's set back in time when Xerxes was still a bustling empire, I figured Amestris would be in the 15th century of sorts. (Yes I know Amestris wasn't even made yet, but in this Medieval/Xerxes AU it is!)
Cause I looked into it and figured out Xerxes fell around 1480 or so?? So we're going with medieval Amestris.
It starts out with the trio being young (like 6 and 5 years of age) just so you have an idea.
So if y'all wouldn't mind taking a moment to read this little (3000?) Word excerpt I created out of my ass today, that would be awesome! Not promising it's in character or good 🤣👌🏽
TITLE: Achaemenid
PROLOGUE
Xerxes, a stand alone empire betwixt Xing and Amestris. No one dared challenge or overthrow this stretch of desert as a result of its King. He was ruthless and heartless at times. Yet Communicable and selfless at others. Alongside his majesty stilling the hearts of his enemies, no one particularly wanted such a vast wasteland. Nor could they grasp why an empire rose within the center of it.
The air surrounding Xerxes, upon approaching, was different somehow. No one could place it. All who came to the border of Xerxian territory felt as though something had passed through them or vice versa. The conspicuous distinction in the clearity of the desert sky on the other side of this “border” felt unnerving yet reassuring. At least the air looked sand free the closer the caravan trudged to their destination. The only effective means of travel in the desert was by camel back. Any other means was surely suicide.
“Are thee thirsty?”
The traveling company consisted of four camels, but five riders. Three were knights, bequeathed the honour of smuggling the remaining Rockbell family line from further extinction. They had been labeled traitors in their home country, Amestris. Despite being but a lowly old hag and orphaned child, the Queen wanted blood for crimes they had not committed. Someone on the inside, took action and fabricated the plan to get them to safety before the Queen decreed their sentence.
“Drink, before thy self run dry.”
The knight’s clothed arm held steady in front of Pinako Rockbell. She huffed a thank you, her aggravation more towards the scorching heat than him. After taking a drink herself, she gave the rest to Winry Rockbell, who sat in her lap.
“Drink child.”
Winry took the flask in her tiny hands, touching it to her lips and tilted it back. Finishing with a gasp of air, she felt much better. But a refreshing drink of water did nothing to wash away the fact that her parents were dead and are perceived to be traitors. She knew, without a doubt, that they were most certainly not. She wanted to cry again, but recalled granny telling her to conserve her fluids. This journey had been longer than she anticipated.
Finally coming across life of some kind, the caravan ventured across a bridge stretching over an irrigation system that seemed to go for miles in opposite directions. There were people actively digging the system down below. Hearing hooves shuffle across the stone, a handful of them turned to look up.
Winry ducked her head to escape their gaze, but soon was in awe of their odd features. Each and every one of them had gold hair that varied in shades. But what really caught her attention were the array of amber gold eyes staring her way. They varied in intensity as well, but each was piercing in their own right. She couldn't look away. After staring a moment, the people began to wave an arm in greeting in unison, smiles on their faces. They were oddly friendly to strangers. The people down below disappeared over the hump of the bridge once they crossed it and made it back to land, moreso sand.
The knight's accompanying them steered their herd towards a stable like building meant for housing the camels of travelers for their later departure. Except, they weren't leaving anytime soon, Winry thought. The knight's would leave them behind to burn under the hot sun. Although, now that they were in town, the sun didn't seem that bad anymore, but it still weighed on them.
Given Granny’s and Winry's size, the knights had to help them down off of the towering camels safely. Granny didn't like a grown man touching her, but she figured it would be best not to complain. They did all this for them. She took Winry's hand since she didn't feel safe in a foreign land whatsoever.
“Stay by my side, Winry.”
Winry noded and hid behind her as they walked down the center of the shopping district. A perfect place to attract travelers for money. Everyone they passed seemed to be happy to see them or at least friendly. Some would talk to each other and watch them pass. Granny didn't like being on display like this, she squeezed Winry's hand.
It felt like ages, but they finally walked to the center of the empire and scaled the thousands of stairs it took to get to the throne room. Winry wanted to slap this King or whatever. No one would want to come here and climb a mountain of stairs just for a King.
Once they basked in the vast throne room, the knights turned to Granny.
“Ma’am, the lass need not pay the King audience. Only thee must accompany us.” The knight speaking bowed, but Granny didn't like this idea.
“I'm not leaving her alone. She comes with me.”
“Ma’am…the King wouldn't-”
He was cut off by a tall young man, sporting a blonde beard and hair pulled back in a ponytail. “If I may?”
Pinako looked over and up to glare at whoever else wanted to take Winry from her. “Who are you? I'm not leaving her.”
The man put up his hands in surrender. He didn't take being yelled at very well. “I mean no harm, ma’am. Id like to suggest taking your…..granddaughter for the time being. I have two boys of my own she could distract herself with. I'm sure your conversation with the King will be short and sweet.”
“Like hell you think im-”
“Please please. I promise no harm will come to her. The King doesn't like children in his throne room. She would just upset him. Me on the other hand, I love them. She'll be safe with me.” He gave a pause and looked Pinako in the eyes, putting his hands together in a prayer form. “I promise.”
Pinako didn't care how many times he repeated himself, she didn't like this at all. Leaving her only granddaughter with a random stranger did not sit well with her.
The knight cut in this time. “Make haste, the King doesnt take nicely to waiting.”
“Alright alright. Fine. Get off my back will ya!” Pinako grumbled, turning to Winry. She grabbed both of Winry's hands this time and squeezed. “Winry. I don't want to do this, but you're going to be spending some time with that man there. I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?”
Winry nods. “Okay, Granny.” She looked to the blonde man smiling down at her. He wasn't unnerving or creepy. He looked really sweet and nice. He held his hand out and looked from Winry to Pinako.
“I will take good care of her for you. She'll have fun with my boys, I know it. Come come.”
Winry slowly took his hand and let go of Pinako’s. Neither looking like they wanted to go anywhere. Winry watched Granny go through the big double doors and disappear. She'd be lying if she wasn't worried now.
“Oh where are my manners,” the man smiled down at her while walking her down a corridor. “My name is Von Hohenhiem. What’s-”
“Winry.”
Her sudden response gave him pause, but Hohenhiem smiled anyway. “I know this is stressful and scary, but I promise you'll be just fine. There's nothing to fear now. Through here.”
He guided her through an archway, pushing aside fabric in the way to reveal what looked to be a library with an open floor in the center.
“Boys! We have company.”
No response. He smiles nervously down at Winry. Clearing his throat he tried again.
“Edward! Alphonse!”
He was complimented by a grumble and shuffling of books falling over.
“I'm coming! I'm coming! I was just getting to a good part!”
A moment later, a boy appeared from around a bookshelf, not looking happy to be disturbed. He wore robes like his father with red trim. His hair short in the back, but long in the front, most of it covering the sides of his face. He blinked, seeming disturbed by Winry, obviously not expecting someone else. Turning to look back he sighed.
“Come on Al.”
Another boy poked his head out, hiding behind his brother. Much more shy than the first one. He also wore a robe like his brother, but with blue trim.
As they stepped closer to her, Winry got a closer look at their golden features. She could make out more detail compared to the people under the bridge. These two boys sported the most brilliant golden eyes out of all the eyes she's seen on the way in here. She couldn't help but stare.
“Winry. These are my boys. The one with the sour expression is Edward. The one hiding is Alphonse. Now, I have some work to do for the King. Play nice boys. Don't make her cry.” Hohenhiem looks from Al to Ed. “Edward.”
The boy named Edward had obviously taken offense to this.
“Wha- I haven't done anything yet!” Crossing his arms he looks at Winry, but it looks more like a glare.
“Be nice, I'll let you know when your granny is ready for you, Winry dear.”
Winry nods, watching him leave as the fabric falls back in the doorway, she turns back to Ed and Al.
Collectively, they all stare at each other. Winry couldn't help but notice Al still hiding behind his brother.
“Umm….” Winry started, but Ed cut her off.
“Sooo, Winry huh? What do you wanna do then? All we have are books and some toys. Not much though. We're just slaves after all…” Ed huffs, lowering his arms and resting them on his hips.
“Slaves?” Winry looked worried.
“Yeah, slaves.” He tilted it head at her, his golden hair falling in his face a bit. “Don't you have those where you're from?”
“But you all look the same…”
Edward cocked an eyebrow. “What does that have to do with it? Only the alchemists live well here.” He shrugged but put on a proud smile and pointed at himself with his thumb, puffing his chest out. “Soon we'll be skilled alchemists and surpass those losers!”
Al spoke up for the first time from behind Ed, pushing down on his left shoulder. “Brother-” He hissed at him. “Don't say that out loud, they might hear you….”
“Whatever, Al, it won't matter when we're out of here!” Ed absolutely beamed at his brother.
“Al…chemists?” Winry blinked, completely dumbfounded. “What in the world is that?”
Ed and Al turned their heads and looked at her in unison. Almost in sync. “You don't know what Alchemy is?” They even spoke in unison too.
Winry shook her head, her hair swishing in her face.
Ed looked at Al and Al looked at Ed. They smiled and looked back to Winry. They bursted with energy at her and grabbed both her hands, she almost ran out of the room.
“Come on!”
“We’ll show you!”
Yanking her into the room’s center, there was a carpet lain out for play. They let go of her and ran in random directions, searching through books and scrolls. Winry opted to stand on the very edge of the carpet, deciding to keep her distance. Both boys looked like they wanted to show her a new strange rock they found in the forest or something of the like.
Edward emerged first carrying a scroll and chalk sticks. Alphonse had bottles and jars of unknown substances. Winry was more curious now. If they were this interested in something like this, whatever it was, it must be cool.
Ed rolled up the carpet aggressively and chucked it aside. Holding open a scroll, he read off of it and began drawing lines on the stone floor. Winry was confused now. Was this Alchemy? Drawing on the floors in chalk?
As Ed finished, it was clear to Winry that it was a giant circle with triangles and writing she couldn't understand.
“What-?”
Edward tisked. “Not done yet.”
Winry shut her mouth.
Al gave him a few jars of….stuff and they both opened them and poured out the contents in the center.
“Now the material.”
“Ready?”
They got down to their knees and smiled at each other at opposite sides of the circle.
“Ready.”
A few moments went by, nothing. Winey was about to say something again when the chalk started to glow. She couldnt believe her eyes, her mouth fell open. What felt like wind was circling around the outer circle. Lights and sparks erupted from the center and triangles. The light was everywhere. The boys didn't seem bothered by this at all, they were smiling down at the pile of material they offered to the center and waited.
As the light show continued, the pile started moving. Winry's eyes grew wider. It started taking the shape of a….doll head.
That's when it got terrifying.
The doll head wiggled it's way out of the pile along with a body attached. As it formed the facial features, it looks like something out of a nightmare.
Winry started to whine. But the boys didn't stop until they heard her wail.
They whipped their heads around with worry plastered on their faces. Winry was slouched on the ground crying and rubbing her eyes. Trying to get rid of the sight that bore into her eyes. She heard their footsteps and felt their hands on her arms. Trying to get her to stop crying.
“Winry! Winry! It's okay!” Alphonse was pleading with her, holding her forearm and touching her shoulder. Edward didn't know what to do. He's only ever consoled a crying Al, but that's different than a girl crying. He just hovered and looked ashamed and lost.
When the boys got her to a hiccup, she finally took her head out of her hands and looked at them in front of her. The worry was very real on their faces. They bowed their heads and slumped.
“We're sorry…”
“We didn't know it would scare you…”
Winry hiccupped, but looked over Ed's shoulder to see a fully formed, not scary, doll sitting at the center of the circle. She looked back to sets of golden eyes looking at her. One of them looked like they were about to cry too. She smiled a little. They were only trying to show her something and make her happy.
She was about to ask if she could have the doll when Hohenhiem whipped the fabric at the doorway open.
“I heard crying! Edward, what did you do??”
The remorse on Ed's face was gone in a flash. He jumped up and huffed, stomping his feet.
“I didn't do nothing!”
Hohenhiem scanned the tosseled rug and the obvious circle drawn on the floor. He slouched and sighed, pinching his nose.
“Did you scare her with Alchemy?”
Ed crossed his arms and turned away, puffing out his cheek. “No….”
Al stood up and gripped his robes. “Yes…” Ed whipped around and opened his arms at Al in a ‘are you serious?’ manner. Sour for being ratted on.
Hohenhiem sighed again. “I'm sorry Winry. I didn't think these two were going to immediately give you nightmares as soon as I left them alone with you. I should've known…”
Ed huffed again. “What's that supposed to mean??”
Winry’s eyes whipped from one to another. Amazed by the life in the room. Silently getting up while the other two argued, she tentatively picked up the doll and inspected it. Al quietly tapped her shoulder and smiled when she looked over.
“You can have that if you want it. It won't fall apart. It's really a real doll.” He smiled soft and sweet. “We made it just for you.”
She didn't know what would come of her life here in Xerxes now that she was stuck here for the foreseeable future, but with these two around, she knows it'll be interesting at least.
“Thanks, Al.”

Eight Nights of Mulder, Night 1: Gold
Summary: Mulder helps Scully put on her new earrings as they’re getting ready to go to an FBI gala. (inspired by the gorgeous earrings I bought this past weekend only to find it's almost impossible for me to put them on by myself🤣)
@eightnightsofmulder @today-in-fic
ao3 link
Tumblr media
“Mulder, can you come over here and help me with this?”
He paused in the midst of tying his tie and poked his head into Scully’s bathroom. “We’re gonna be late, you know.”
“Not if you get in here and help me.” She sighed and gestured at the shiny gold hoops dangling from her earlobes. “It’s these goddamn new earrings. They looked so gorgeous in the store, but when you’re actually wearing them it’s impossible to find the right angle to connect both ends together. I need you to close them for me.”
Mulder grinned and cracked his knuckles dramatically. “My sausage fingers and I are at your service.”
Scully rolled her eyes as he stepped closer and gently grasped both ends of the little gold hoop, being as careful as he could not to tug too hard on her earlobe. “Where…?”
“It’s supposed to just slide right in.”
Mulder leaned in closer as he slid the narrow end of the earring into the wider end, noticing as he did so how incredibly wonderful she smelled. “Is that a new perfume?”
“Mmm-hmm,” she said affirmatively as he moved to her other ear, lingering over her neck as his fingers danced delicately through the wisps of hair that lay there. “Jasmine and honey.”
“I like it.” He closed her other earring and gently nudged his nose into her hair. She giggled, and he slid his arms around her as he made his way down to her neck and nuzzled it, which only made her giggle harder. 
“We’re gonna be late,” she admonished him while simultaneously pressing her body against his.
“Don’t care anymore,” he murmured into her skin. “In fact, I think we should skip this thing altogether.”
“You rebel.”
“Your rebel.”
He felt her giggle again in his arms, and he thought his heart might burst. How did he get to be so lucky? 
“Skinner’s gonna be mad if we don’t come again this year,” she said.
Mulder shifted his position so she could feel his erection poking through his pants. “Trust me, coming is not going to be a problem.”
Scully let out a soft, sensual moan, and he somehow managed to get even harder. “Not for me, either…”

I was trying to find new matt fics to read and your page came up which personally I think it’s a sign to reread FFTD until the new installment comes out
Ahhh!! Omg well I'm glad my fics are fairly easy to find 😆 I don't know how easy searching for fics are on tumblr, but if you want to read something new I can recommend some authors that I know off the top of my head that have some multi-chapter fics if that's what you're looking for!
@loveroftoomanyfandoms (she has a few Matt series' that have been transferred from AO3 recently)
@mattmurdocksscars (I keep meaning to read Back From the Dead!)
@shouldbestudying41 (I believe she has links to her fic on AO3 that I keep meaning to read as well!!)
@theetherealbloom (I need to catch up Notre Dame but it's definitely an interesting fic!)
@shiorimakibawrites (the Alley Cat series is told through installments and yet another I need to catch up on that is so good!)
@souliebird (Soulie just yesterday posted the first chapter of a new Dad Matt fic that is SO GOOD)
Edited to add in (because I knew I blanked on other Matt x Reader series and probably still have):
@she-likesorchids (she has a great Murderdock series!)
@courtforshort15 (Skyfall is AMAZING 👏🏻)
@pastafossa (in the off chance anyone looking here for recs for multi-chapter Matt x Reader fics has somehow NOT heard of The Red Thread. I always forget to mention TRT because it's like Matt Murdock fandom classic lit and I assume we have all read or seen it 🙌🏻)
I'm sure I'm blanking on many other wonderful authors here who have multi-chapter Matt fics because I woke up like ten minutes ago but I thought I'd suggest some!! Or feel free to enjoy your read through of FFTD 🤣 I am hoping to edit up the next installment in one sitting later today and see how it reads, but it's just under 18k words so I'm sure that's going to be time consuming 😆 I am hoping either tonight or tomorrow I will get it posted, but it's truthfully the only thing I've been working on this week so ATY won't have an update for a few days either. But that is probably what I will work on writing next!

Topsy Turvy Days in Scarabia
What are the chances that the Adeuce combi somehow both ended up picking the same alternate dorm to be in 🤣
Azul voice) You two are downgrades from Jade and Floyd.
The Sorcerer of the Sands, and his Spirit of Mindfulness.
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto…
Tumblr media
… leaves the Mostro Lounge in Trey’s capable (enough) hands and packs his own bags for the sands! To Azul, this dorm exchange program is just another extended business trip, and he intends to capitalize on every possible moment of it! The seeds he sows today will become fruitful sources of connections, supplies, and revenue for the future. Look at that, he’s already thinking with all the forethought and mindfulness of a Scarabia student!
He’s wise enough to prep in advance for what he knows will be a difficult climate to adjust to. Part of Azul’s luggage contains transition lens glasses (to deal with the sun!), a variety of moisturizers, and a massive water bottle to keep himself hydrated and to slow the loss of moisture in his very delicate merman skin! But no matter how dry or overheated he may get, Azul absolutely refuses to assume his merform or to unceremoniously submerge himself in water in very public places (the fountain, the desert oasis). He’ll stay here in the shade, thank you very much!!
As soon as Azul pulls up to his new dorm, he starts greeting and cozying up to people, bowing, shaking hands, and handing out his business cards like they’re candy. (A good first impression is very important to establish amicable relationships!!) “Please do feel free to get in contact should you ever be in need of assistance,” he insists, sliding his card and a smile over. “I would be more than happy to hear your woes.”
It isn’t long before Azul learns that life in Scarabia is runs at its own pace. Under Kalim’s reign, the students are just kind of allowed to do whatever they want (and though they are intelligent, the lax leadership has not encouraged them to meet their full potentials). Azul seizes the opportunity to take charge of those poor, unfortunate souls, leading study sessions and guiding them through mentally enriching activities (cooking, crushing other at board games, etc). Once the Scarabia students are in his debt, he can call on them for favors 🙃
He’s nosy, so he’ll snoop around Scarabia looking for anything of interest. (If anyone catches him, Azul will explain it away as “just being curious” about the architecture of the dorm. There’s all sorts of things to ogle and make note of, from the unique flora and rich fabrics that adorn the lounge to the ornate lanterns strung overhead and the rare spices lining the kitchen cabinets. The list of things he wants to acquire for the Mostro Lounge grows ever longer…
Azul happens upon Scarabia’s storage room and marvels at all the jewels and other treasures contained within it—but though he admires that enormous wealth, he refrains from taking any of it for himself. That amount of money is something he wants to be able to earn for himself, not shamelessly steal. Goals reaffirmed, Azul sets his sights to a future lined with gold.
He doesn’t intentionally concern himself with babysitting Ace or Deuce, but their paths inevitably cross. Azul has to be the one to tell them off or to get them out of trouble, because if the duo fucks up hard then it makes him, by association as an outsider, look bad. In other words… those meddling kids are getting in his way again!!
Azul not-so-subtly hints that he would like for everyone to put in a good word about him to Kalim and Jamil upon their return. Imagine the benefits Azul could reap if he connected with Kalim’s father, or he could befriend someone as skilled as Jamil!! (Somewhere in Ignihyde, Jamil sneezes.) He sells the idea to Scarabia as “I wish to deepen the bonds between your dorm and Octavinelle!” … and enough of them buy it for him to be satisfied with all the efforts he out into this con investment.
“Fufu. Truly, the cultural differences of the land and the sea are nowhere near as vast as they are between Scarabia and Octavinelle. That is, perhaps, what lends each of us our unique strengths and assets. I have become all the richer for all the knowledge and the connections I have made here. May we forge an ever stronger union between the world above and the world below the depths, so that we may create a whole new world together.”
Ace Trappola…
Tumblr media
… is tugged by the ear and forced to sit down for a “chat” with Riddle before he’s let loose in Scarabia. He’s in for a looong lecture about “proper etiquette” and “respecting the legacy of the Sorcerer of the Sands”. Ace just rolls his eyes and goes, “Why do only I have to sit through this and not Deuce?! This is discrimination against ME specifically!!” (There’s a fiery back-and-forth between them, concluding with Ace reassuring his dorm leader Riddle doesn’t need to “worry his own damn head off” about his behavior “cuz I can handle myself just fine!” He’s got to keep one jump ahead of the lawmen—)
… Anyway, Ace then proceeds to live a very hedonistic lifestyle at Scarabia like a stereotypical frat bro or something 🤣 The luxury’s here, so he might as well indulge and enjoy it while he can!! You’ll often find him reclined in a sea of silk cushions, soaking up the sunshine and snacking on whatever is left lying around on their tables.
The opulence kind of goes to his head at a certain point; Ace starts snapping pics of all the cool stuff Scarabia has and posting it on Magicam to flex on his haters followers. Here’s Ace running his hands through piles of gold while he’s literally swimming in it. and here’s Ace sticking his tongue out at the camera while lying on a complicated tapestry. (There are consistent likes from Cater, but also DM requests from Riddle coming in, which Ace promptly ignores.)
With his quick wit and bright personality, he makes quick friends in Scarabia. Ace likes doing character impressions for his new buddies, which are always sure to earn him applause and laughter. His most popular impression at the moment is Jamil (whom Ace knows rather intimately thanks to their many encounters during VDC/SDC training camp and in Basketball Club). “Wow, that’s exactly what Jamil-senpai sounds like!!” the Scarabia students cry out in awe.
Ace parties hard at the banquets (which, in the absence of Jamil, Azul has organized)!! Without all the stuffy rules and regulations of Heartslabyul to keep him down, nothing’s stopping Ace from dancing the night away and eating ‘til he passes out from a food coma! He’s here for a good time, not a long time!
He plays some games with his new dorm members, but doesn’t exactly always do so fairly. While the opponent’s distracted, Ace will get ahead by making an extra move or using sleight of hand to remove an important piece from play. )That’s how he ends up winning so many games of mancala!) When Deuce calls him out on this, Ace just shrugs and tells him, “I’m not cheating! I’m using deliberation, idiot. That makes me an ideal Scarabia student!”
Ace isn’t above pocketing some of the loot from the storage room. He doesn’t try to take as much of it as he can unlike a certain hyena would, but just a few large rubies he thinks he could resell for a good price. (Kalim-senpai won’t mind, right? He’s got tons of these, he’s probably hand me a whole sack of ‘em if I asked! Ace reasons with himself. Besides, I don’t have enough spending money for myself this week! I should just do this now while Jamil-senpai’s not around.)
When you think that’s the worst of the antics he gets up to… think again! Late in the evenings, once everyone else has gone to sleep, Ace sneaks out and steals the magic carpet for a starry joyride! He soars, tumbles, and freewheels through and endless diamond sky, in a whole new world way up in the clouds. It is here where he feels the most free—free from the rules, from the expectations, free from the inhibitions, free from everything.
“Man, Scarabia’s awesome!! I can basically do and say whatever I want, there’s no Riddle ryocho breathing down my neck… This is definitely right up my alley!! … I say that, but Heartslabyul’s got a heck of a lot going for it too. I guess in the end there’s no place like ‘home’, huh? N-Not that I miss Heartslabyul or anything, like I’d miss that place and its teapot tyrant!!”
Deuce Spade…
Tumblr media
… is all fired up for Scarabia!! He’s been doing a ton of self-reflection lately, and he knows that an area of weakness for him is stopping to think before he acts. What better way to work on that then immersing himself in a dorm teeming with mindful students? Maybe some of their smarts will rub off on him!!
Deuce appreciates that Scarabia’s uniform allows for liberal movement. He’s also pretty fond of the flames on his new hotpants; he thinks they’re super cool, and they remind him of how used to dress as a delinquent. “It’d look even more cool if we added skulls! Can I add some patches to my uniform?” he asks, earning stares from Ace (”Dude, how edgy are you?!” and Azul (”I would refrain from tailoring your borrowed uniform, Deuce-san. That is a privilege reserved for dorm leaders.”).
Without their Heartslabyul senpai to keep an eye on them, Deuce vows to keep his fellow first year under control! (That’s what an honor student would do!) Unfortunately for Deuce, that more often than not leads to bickering, and then him getting roped into Ace’s shenanigans rather than stopping them… like the time Deuce stepped on the magic carpet while trying to yoink it out of Ace’s hands, spooking it and sending it shooting out of the window with both of the boys clinging onto it!! (“You’re just as guilty as I am now, so don’t tell a soul or we’ll both be busted!!” Ace hisses at him. “You’re the one that hijacked Asim-senpai’s stuff though!!” Deuce shoots back. “Go and apologize to him right now!!” The magic carpet wonders if all Heartslabyul kids are like this.)
The menagerie of animals kept at Scarabia (mostly on account of Kalim) is huge. Deuce becomes particularly enthralled by the exotic birds, though he can’t keep any of their names straight so he just calls them different kinds of variants of chicken. (”They can’t ALL be chickens, Loosey Deucey!” Ace sighs, bonking him on the head.)
He defers to Azul’s authority, since he’s a dorm leader and their upperclassman! Sure, Azul kind of has a shady record, but Deuce decides to place his trust in him regardless. He believes that if he’s making an honest effort to change, then so can Azul–and everyone deserves a second chance, right? The merman finds Deuce’s naivete childish yet oddly charming, for it is his willingness to forgive that reminds him so much of Kalim in the aftermath of Jamil’s… incident. He’s not wrong, Azul muses. People are capable of change. Even a diamond can be found in the rough.
Deuce takes the time to keep up with his training for Track and Field Club even in a whole new dorm! You’ll find him sprinting around the perimeter of Scarabia, occasionally trekking all the way out to the desert oasis on particularly rigorous workouts. (It’s a challenge since the sands interfere with his speed!) Once his routine is done, he’ll dunk his whole head in a fountain or in the oasis waters to refresh himself!!
There are times when he makes his way to the oasis when he’s frustrated or needs some alone time. It’s the next closest thing to the ocean, and the only body of water big enough for him to shout to. He’ll vent about his inadequacies and the difficulties of catching up to those who are naturally talented–but once he has laid out all of his feelings, Deuce feels much better, and ready to tackle the next day at full throttle!
He becomes absolutely fascinated by the idea of astrology and divinations (areas which students of Scarabia often excel in). Deuce asks for them to tell his fortune or to see into the future using the stars!! … His stares of anticipation are so intense that the Scarabia students feel awkward while they go through the process–but once Deuce has his reading, whether it’s good or bad, he gets even more motivated to do his best. Affirming a good prediction or turning over a bad one–that power’s up to him and him alone to wield!
“The more I see of Scarabia, the more I realize how much there’s still left for me to learn. I didn’t know there was food so spicy it makes you feel like your tongue fell off, or that stars could be so bright up close. I thought I was a chick before, but I was wrong! I’m still barely hatched from my egg! So… I’ll use the time I have left here to learn everything I can. I’ll go back to Heartslabyul a better man than I was yesterday!”

👩‍🎓... 🌿📸🐝🐜..... 📝❤️
RL Simself Story
I went to university. 🤓..... Not really! 🫤 I visited my sister and my cuz M. there, to...... take pics of bugs.🤷‍♀️
Ana and Mario didn't go to exactly the same university. Ana studied something different from our Cuousin. She continued with that dull business thing and he studied cine technology and something else. I'm not sure? 😬 (Idk the exact technical name for it.) But their universities were on the same campus & they also lived in the same dorm.
Yesterday Ana and I arrived there, at her dorm (I got 2 weeks off) and this morning, I accompanied her and M. to their campus. Because, I also had a job. I worked on a university project with my cuz.😁 But back to yesterday. Last night I couldn’t sleep. I kept dreaming about Daniel and I also had withdrawal symptoms.🤦‍♀️So I walked like a ghost through the halls of that student housing, to get tired and distract myself. Well....
Tumblr media
a.... crazy student who also lived there wanted to get off with me. 🤨... "Just fuck off, man!", I thought. But instead of saying that to him, I did something extremely stupid.🤦‍♀️ I was so desperate and my pain so strong.... I asked him for drugs. And as if all this wasn't already embarrassing enough, my cousin M. came out of his room. We were standing right in front of his door in that hallway.
Tumblr media
He recorded something for college and the background noises that this guy & I made, were on his recording/tape, so he couldn’t continue working. He asked us to.... shut the fuck up! He was a bit pissed, you know? 😬... However, that weirdo left. About that drug & my conditon, I'm not going to talk about it today.... M. asked me what was going on? He didn’t know what happend to D. & me. .... So I told him....
He couldn’t believe Daniel just left. He was there at our wedding and saw how happy Daniel was... M. asked me a ton of questions... But... yea. I didn't really wanna talk... So my cousin had an idea for me. He asked me to help him with his college project. That way, he tried to bring me to other thoughts. 💚
He remembered that I used to like taking pictures, when we were "little", which was a pretty nice hobby of mine for a while. He needed some close-ups of different things, actually it didn’t matter what, but it had to be in nature/ out doors. Somehow I liked this idea and also felt pretty good helping my baby cuz. The next day I made my way for some nice shoots, as you can see above.
However, that was not all I did that day. The nice stranger I met online at the Sims 4 Gallery, also had a little task/job for me. He wanted me, to write him a love letter, handwritten!! 🤣 (He's so crazy!) When he wanted this from me, I had the strong suspicion that it's Nico, who texted me. And this was also his intention! He wanted me to think of him. Cos those... love letters, I have actually written to him in the past., when he & I were just on the phone.
Nico wanted me to get him back in my mind, he wanted me to think about him and not Daniel. I asked him if he was Nico, the stranger who texted me?? But he never really gave me a clear answer. He just said, I’ll find out who he really is and no matter who he is. Nico or not, I won’t be disappointed. The person who is texting me, is definitely not as he once was, he said. .. WTF? Ha?.... That's so confusing! But I was pretty sure, it's Nico. He knew that I love Sims and play regularly. So suddenly everything he told me weeks before, made sense now. But I'm gonna tell next time more about that, when I see Philip.
Oh, and in case you wonder where Ana was? She had a date with Adam. They had a fight a day before we went to her dorm. It was about me. And drugs. Ugh yea, but Adam's gonna talk to me too about that and well, I think he didn't do anything to me that one night in my apartment. (😞🤦‍♀️Not yet.)
Something else:
This post today was kind of a test for me. Maybe I will post in the future without captions? I'm not sure yet? Pics with captions are... Idk? I’m having a hard time with that tbh. Cos.. you can hardly see anything that's going on in the pic, with so much text on it. And sometimes it’s hard to read anyway. But yea, if you don't like it that way, just let me know! Idk yet what I'm going to do? Maybe a Mix? Agh, let's see...

That was one of the most tumblr/mutual dreams I've prolly ever had 🤣 (Today at 7am)
I'm not sure, if I remember how it started, but somehow, I was omw to visit Wolv at his home. It was raining and there was a crossroad that made it super hard for me to orientate, which direction I need to go. But eventually, I found the house. Wolvs room had like a big window/door that lead right into the backyard, that I entered to get into his room without his relatives noticing something. At first we both were rather silent cuz- yea the awkwardness when you meet someone for the first time? But I also didn't know what to expect- in a way like, would I meet him while he's rather moody or chill lol. But we got more and more chill as we just sneaked on all fours through his house and played with dogtoys? 😭🤣 ahem anyway.
We decided that the night was nice enough, to make a run outside, but before we actually did so, Wolv pulled out two tissues so that we could clean our glasses so that our vision isn't even more limited in our fcked up bodies lmfao. He had a quick discussion with one of his relatives, why he would leave the house still this late at night, but got away quick cuz... I mean... What do they wanna do with him? Lock him up? lol
So we basically ran with a mix of doing quads or just- on two legs but with a pretty hunched over back (and we were fast like this too lol) and went back to the crossroad, where I, but also Wolv had some orientation issues, as he told me when we arrived. (Not how to get there from his house but how to get into town) There was also a big bridge over one of the roads where we chilled beneath for a while until 6 other otherkin/therians showed up (three were still much younger than we were and we didn't really know them? And then the other 3 were also adults where one of them was *drumroll* Luka 🤣) So yea... We all talked only a little but mainly were shifted and just discovering that area. Later Luka and I also got a little more relaxed and we started to chat a little, if I will show up more often there now, as I seem to be pretty chill. Amd I was like "sure why not?". At first I was pretty unsure of what to expect. Cuz I was so used of people around me being weirded out, when I show more of my wolfside, but we were all the same in that group no one felt judged and we just were ourselves as much as possible. The reason why we all met up under the bridge had two reasons, first of all, the echoes under it were insanely cool for group howls, secondly, if you went up instead of beneath it, you had a sick view and also- howls lol
Anyway.. That was definitely one of the most otherkin kinda dreams I've ever had and I could imagine, that it happened because of the voice reveal of Luka yesterday? That my brain was like "ooh new data of a mutual just dropped, lemme just work with that" 😂 I mean, I also never heard Wolv talk before, so for this one I had to use my imagination lmao

Many anti-Kylie Timmy stans (and there are many, starting with their careema clubchalamet) use the fact that Kylie and Timmy are not doing constant joint pap weeks as a way to shit on their relationship. We know if it was for Kris Jenner, they would be papped together 24/7 (we saw her posting Timmy when he did SNL). I think that Kylie is the sister that has been able to maintain more privacy on her relationships and she's successful independently from her relationships. Let's remember how Z never acknowledged any of her relationships until she briefly talked about Tom on his GQ interview on Nov 2023. She had been in relationships for 10 years before she publicly acknowledged any of them and we know she was pretty serious about them. Do I think that kylothee are endgame? I don't know, but even getting involved for a year with a woman that has 2 little kids implies a pretty high level of commitment
That's interesting that this is how Timmy stans think. Because I'd actually think the OPPOSITE. 🤔
I'm more likely to believe that a couple is real when they're NOT papped in the media or Daily Mail every two seconds. 🤔
To me, whenever a couple is papped ALL the time (esp if they're not THAT famous), it just screams "PR" to me lol 😆 😅
So, the fact that Timmy and Kylie keep their relationship relatively PRIVATE, actually gives me the impression that they're actually more real.
It's the same way I feel about Tom and Zendaya. You don't see them papped in the media 24/7. Most of the content we get from them are from FANS and their cameras and TWEETS.
Think about it: Tom and Zendaya are arguably some of the biggest celebrities out here today, and are in a very high-profile, picture-esque relationship with each other.... but ask yourself how often you see them getting papped on the regular. 😏
Compare that with some OTHER couples out here, who aren't even as famous, but somehow (SOMEHOW!) the paps always manage to find them.... even in the most obscure places rofl 🤣 (I won't mention any names lol 🤭)
Imo, a lot of these couples are just calling the paps on themselves. They might still be a real couple that is just using the paps to their advantage (nothing wrong with that), I'm just saying that I'm more likely to believe that a couple is real when they are NOT papped all the time.
So, the Timmy stans and their logic isn't really making any sense to me... 🤔
You can usually tell the ones who are calling the paps on themselves lol. The fact that Timmy and Kylie AREN'T doing that is pretty telling to me. It actually seems like they are trying to protect what they have, and don't want to share it with the world.
Her having kids might also be another reason as well. 🤷🏾‍♀️
Just like Tom and Zendaya tried so hard to preserve their relationship to just them in the 1.0 era, to me, it seems like you feel as though you really have smthg precious when you're not trying to flaunt it all over the place.
Granted, sometimes you're gonna get caught. TZ have been caught by paps before. It happens! 🤷🏾‍♀️😅
But they don't appear to be a couple that's calling the paps on themselves (for what exactly? ). Like I said, MOST of the Tomdaya content we get from them is through fans and their cellphones lol 😅

After 4.5 months I’ve finally updated my AU fanfic - chapter 17 is out 🥵
I spent approximately 30 hours on the artwork below… although it seemed much much longer… closer to forever 😅
Tumblr media
It was hell. I was crying. I was cursing. I wanted to give up a hundred times. The thing that killed me was the house. The structure is pretty simple, most of it is hidden because of the tree in the foreground, but… I couldn’t do it. As embarrassing as I have to admit - I even went to AI for help (for the building facade only!) but I failed at explaining what I needed (I have no idea how people create decent artworks with it), so I had to do it all myself in the end 🤣🤣🤣
After I rendered Kakashi I almost wanted to give up Arina altogether… but my stubbornness took over and I finished it with it the next day. I wonder if I’d started with Kakashi initially, the entire rest of the artwork had gone better 🤔 because that element somehow did help me get my shit together and complete it 🤷🏼‍♀️
☙ ❦ ❧
The fanfic is here
Btw today I got my 100th follower on Wattpad 🤩🤩🤩
☙ ❦ ❧
The scene is as follows:
«Kakashi couldn't help it: he was drawn to the hotel where Arina stayed like a magnet. To his own considerable relief, he had not yet stooped as low as peeking through the windows, but he did not stop hoping that the girl would show up on her small balcony.
Therefore, adjusted to the girl's schedule, almost all of his limited free time he spent in a tree nearby, unnoticed by others, trying to convince himself that he was not stalking Arina at all, but simply reading a book in a very convenient tree – actually, rather the only convenient tree of Konoha. Well, and as for the fact that the tree was located right next to the hotel – it just so happened.
<…>
Arina, however, turned out to be by no means a houseling, so as soon as she more or less recovered and joined the life of the village, she began spending most of her time outside the walls, appearing at the hotel only for the night or to eat – so Kakashi's tactics did not work at all for a long time.
But then, one day he was lucky. It was a fine evening and Arina first opened the inner doors, then the panels that covered the balcony, and, instead of going back into the room, sat down, resting her elbows on the fence and propping her cheek with one hand. Apparently, she decided to not go out that day.
Kakashi livened up.
Despite the fact that the girl's situation was still hardly enviable, over the past time she has blossomed noticeably: this was clearly due to a measured lifestyle, neat (and, more importantly, unimpaired) clothes and hair. The only thing, she seemed somewhat thoughtful and even saddened.»

I know you’re not that active anymore but have you done some readings for hl recently? I randomly got sad cause no one is sure about them actually being together anymore and everything they did in the past seems so pointless now. But I totally get it if you stayed away from all this!
hi! i finally got down to it today because i was curious myself and i have to say sooo many cards keep falling out while shuffling as it was so much to tell me lmao, anyway i asked about hl and their relationship currently etc. and here's what eventually showed up:
Eight of Pentacles reversed - lack of quality, rushed job, bad reputation, lack of motivation, mediocrity, laziness, low skill, dead-end job, little motivation, tedious job, low quality work, not putting effort into love, neglecting relationship. The job part made me think about Harry just focusing on finishing LOT finally and going through the motions to get till the end, lol, and with them both on tour at the same time on different continents, of course their relationship is getting affected somehow, I guess? Maybe feeling like they have too little time for each other, which, duh.
The world reversed - false measure of success, missing piece in career, close to completing financial goal, unfulfilled despite financial comfort, missing something in love life, taking partner for granted, lack of closure, lack of achievement, feeling incomplete, emptiness. Again, it feels to be clouded a lot by things that make me think about Harry and his tour - is he contemplating the last 3 years and how exactly they made him feel? Is he not feeling as accomplished or fulfilled as he would have in the end? Do they still feel like something is lacking in their lives despite the success of the last years? (🤣)
King of Cups reversed - overwhelmed, anxious, cold, repressed, withdrawn, manipulative, selfish, selfishness at work, staying at job despite lack of emotional fulfillment, manipulation, deceit and selfishness in love, being lead on or used, not putting in effort, The reversed king of cups can signify dealing with a boss or a manager who has become a bit of a tyrant. Sometimes, this card can indicate that you are at your position solely for the money, and you may be feeling unfulfilled. Even if you began at this position with excitement and passion, it may be slowly disappearing...... I mean, the conclusion writes itself, doesn't it? I'm side eyeing this card so much, especially in the presence of the other two. Unfulfillment and burn out seem to be a theme for this reading.
Back of the deck: Five of Swords reversed - reconciliation, resolution, compromise, revenge, regret, remorse, cutting losses. The Five of Swords reversal meaning shows you that all you want is for that particular period to be over so that you can forget and forgive. Because you are beginning to understand that winning is not everything, you will be capable of focusing your energy on something a lot more constructive and positive.
Another interpretation of this card in reverse is that the conflict you are experiencing is actually going to become more upsetting as you realize that there can only be losers. These are terms that you need to come to grips with. 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️
I decided to try to find out more and asked what it's all about, if it’s Harry feeling tired of tour or what his feelings are. Two of Cups (mutually beneficial relationship, working together as a team, strong pair is indicated here, the joy of two becoming one, partnership that is built on the union of forces, a strong connection and a balanced and equal partnership) and Five of Wands (competition between colleagues, competitive work environment, conflict, there is form of conflict in one’s life, competition between suitors, conflict between lovers, playful banter, conflict, competition, arguments, aggression, tension, rivals, clashes of ego) upright fell out, which makes me wonder if he is simply saying longing back to the times of working with Louis as a team and spending a lot of time in each other’s presence? That the way their lives are now is affecting their relationship and he wants it to stop? He also may feel tired and bored of the constant competition and being at the top of his game and would like to chill for a second (hmmm personally I'm not sure about that).
As for Louis however, I got Seven of Pentacles reversed (Doesn't surprise me to see pentacles here lol, no results in work efforts, stagnant career, losses, little financial compensation, Are you putting way too much effort at work? Or are you not putting in enough? The reversed 7 of Pentacles can signal some kind of imbalance when it comes to your career. It seems that regardless of the answer, nothing you do (or don’t do) seems to change anything. Results are minimal.). I guess it makes me think of what he's been saying about slipping back into bad habits, him overthinking everything. I'm certain they also expected a bigger turnout for this tour and we all know how's the ticket sales situation. On the other hand, I also got Three of Wands (momentum, confidence, expansion, growth, foresight, looking ahead, next stage in relationship, romantic momentum, creating lasting foundation, new horizons in career, expanding your career options) so to me he still is set on his goals lol just everything is underlayed with his internal struggle with confidence and overthinking. He should keep his mind open to potential new opportunities that can arise, as they may be much better for him.

Purely out of curiosity since ur rewatching TVD, what is your opinion on the absolute use and abuse of Bonnie Bennett throughout the entire series?? And how would you as a writer have approached her character and arcs instead?? Just wanted hear ur trusted and intellectual perspective on this 😔😔🤍
Trusted and intellectual, nonnie? 🤣 I can't tell if you're being ironic and this is trying to poke fun at me somehow or not, so I'll just assume it's an honest question, even if there's nothing trustworthy or intellectual about my takes on this teen vampire drama 🤣🤣
I have talked about Bonnie before, but I don't think I had ever watched the show start to finish from season 1, and it becomes even more glaringly obvious how awful the writing for her character is. Even when the show is at its best, Bonnie never is. She starts from a place of semi-protagonism, discovering her witchy powers at the same time Elena meets Stefan, and we're led to believe she's going to play a huge role, right? That figuring out this story is gonna go right through her. And then by the end of S1, they bump her down to somehow being less relevant than Caroline, who at this point had nothing going on for her besides a failed romance with Matt (she becomes a vampire on the last episode of S1, I think). Caroline gets the complicated romances, she gets the vampire arc, then Tyler being a werewolf situation, her drama with her mother, and then she gets Klaus. Meanwhile, Bonnie gets absolutely no plots of her own.
She's barely a person at all. Literally, when they have no use for her saving Elena, she doesn't even appear. We know nothing about her family, I don't think they even mention Bonnie's mom abandoned her, we don't even know she lives with her father, we don't see her house like we see Caroline's and Elena's. I just watched ep 1 of S3 today, and she's away with 'her father's family' but who are they? Who's her father?? We only meet him in S4 and somehow are led to believe he'd always been there and was somehow important enough to be appointed mayor, even though he was never a part of the town council. Why??
I can get behind Bonnie taking her mother's last name because, I don't know, the Bennetts are important, but they never make it seem like they are, so it doesn't make any sense?? Although, coming to think of it, it's weird with Caroline too. Liz is not a Forbes, and yet we hear her family has also always been in on the whole vampire thing, even though the founding family is on her father's side?? Just stupidity, I guess. But anyway. Why couldn't they make Bonnie's father a Bennett instead and then have him be a major part of the town's secret dealings like everyone else? Why not get them involved in the whole political shenanigans going on? The Bennett's had been there since BEFORE the founding families, they are a powerful witch line, and yet we're supposed to believe they relinquished all the power to the white idiots all this time? Why haven't they been pulling the strings around the city? Why did Emily Bennet never play a bigger role other than as Katherine's maid?
Why wasn't Bonnie even selected to be among the Miss Mystic Falls girls?? Why wasn't she invited to the Mikaelson ball? Are we supposed to believe that Esther wouldn't want to meet the descendant of the witch Ayana?? Why bring Bonnie's mom into this at all, someone who had never been a part of anything, if they could've just had her father play a big role in EVERYTHING from the start and make the Bennetts a real powerhouse in the story? They could've been the real chiefs in town, not the Lockwoods.
And then when we learn about Bonnie's mom, we find out she ALSO sacrificed her powers AND HER DAUGHTER just to protect Elena because of her good friend Miranda??? Seriously?? This is so fucked up.
Bonnie honestly has no agency within the plot, ever. She's just this artifice to fix whatever the writers come up, just a tool for salvation. It's lazy, lazy and RACIST writing, IMO. We hear she's super powerful, that her witchy line is the most powerful one ever, going all the way back to Qetsiyah, and yet that never manifests into the story. When they need Bonnie to be some deux ex machina type, she is. When they don't, she's weak. She loses her powers, she gives it away willingly, she DIES about 100 times like she has no aspirations of her own other than saving Elena and Jeremy. Caroline gets a full personality (even if everyone rolls their eyes at her, which is a different thing), but what are Bonnie's traits, other than being brave and loyal and self-sacrificing? What are Bonnie's aspirations?
The fact that out of eight seasons, she doesn't have a love interest for one and a half, and spends from S2 to S6 hung up on Jeremy is just !!!! Dude cheats on her, betrays her, is useless and boring, leaves the show, comes back, and Bonnie is somehow ALWAYS still in love with him. Tbh, their entire relationship seems like an attempt at giving Jeremy more purpose than adding anything to Bonnie's development. It's ridiculous.
At some point, we meet this woman who says she's a Bennett cousin, someone who was helping Katherine in S2, and she tells Bonnie she'll come back, but then we never hear about her again??? Why couldn't this woman have come back to teach Bonnie about her ancestors, about the Bennetts, about magic? Why didn't she get that story arc?
It's been mentioned several times how awful the treatment of Kat Graham was. So much so she gets war flashbacks whenever anyone mentions The Vampire Diaries next to her. I even read that they were giving her crappy story lines in order to get her to quit the show on her own. That they'd act like that towards their single black actor on the show, knowing she was facing blatant disrespect behind the scenes from some of her coworkers, is just awful. It's racist, racist crap, there's no other word for it.
How I would fix her arcs is too loaded a question, because there are too many arcs, and too much to fix. I'm not really a writer, nor am an intellectual lol So I don't know if I'd be capable of giving her the protagonism she deserved. But I just wish they'd fleshed out Bonnie the way they did others. Given her aspirations, plans, her own story lines separate from everyone else (like Caroline and Tyler or Caroline and Klaus or Caroline and her mom or Caroline and the twins). Giving her a home and a family would've humanized her. I wish they'd made the story run through her, instead of using her, that they'd given her all the power we hear she's supposed to have. By the end of TVD, Bonnie should've been crowned THE MOST POWERFUL WITCH ON EARTH, period. Her journey should've taken her there. Instead, she keeps getting outshined by everyone else.
I wish she'd gotten a good love interest (NOT JEREMY). Personally, I liked her and Damon in S6/7/8. WAY more than I ever liked her and Enzo, tbh. I read that Ian and Kat were SUPER pushing for Bamon, and it honestly would've been an interesting arc?? I know people are gonna say 'ew, problematic', but honestly every single ship on this show is problematic in some way, it's a vampire show, and the two of them as friends were super cute. Plus, they did have a lotta chemistry.
And the big thing for me is that Bonnie should've been leading lady after Elena leaves. It just made sense. Bumping Caroline up to that spot was ???? I love Caroline, she's my absolute favorite, but why?? What about her character journey or her importance within the show made her leading character material? Bonnie, otoh, made perfect sense. She was super powerful, she could steer the story, AND there was the beautiful poetry of her taking over Elena's place. Since Elena was asleep for as long as she was alive, then why not actually give a great life to live, for once, since they'd never allowed her to do it while Elena was in the picture. But no. Instead, she loses her powers. 🙃
Something I also would've loved to see happen is having her moved over to TO. Since they clearly didn't want her in TVD, why not put her in the neighboring show and give her a more important role? A Bennett witch among the New Orleans covens could've been great. Even if it was just for a short arc, I would've appreciated that. There's a whole thing at the end of S1 of TO where Klaus gets in touch with Bonnie about the collapse of the Other Side and then we learn Esther used that to bring herself, Finn and Kol back to life. There was a good crossover opportunity there that was just wasted. Even Matt and Alaric crossover to TO. Why not Bonnie?
Anyway. 🤣 If this wasn't meant as a serious ask, nonnie, I'm sorry for the bible answer, but joke is on you cause clearly I have lots of FEELS. Though none of this is groundbreaking, it's just obvious stuff. I've only just started S3 though, I'm sure I'll get more outraged as I move forward.
IN CONCLUSION 🥲 Bonnie was a badly written, barely humanized character ON PURPOSE, but Kat Graham portrayal of her, in spite of all the awful story lines, was so genuine and so full of heart that we cared for her and loved her anyway. She gave life to someone who was mistreated by the writing team from start to finish. She deserves the world, JUSTICE FOR BONNIE BENNETT.
