something so fun about the uncertainty and ruthlessness of tog's immortality. they mention it directly on screen even. "none of us had a choice," "i don't want this, there isn't one good thing in any of this," etc. there's the horror of surviving everyone you love and like. you don't get a choice it just happens to you whether you want it or not. none of them know why, or what's happening to them, they just have to make the best of it (mileage may vary). doesn't matter if you had a family or a life or something you couldn't leave behind it doesn't matter! it doesn't care! this is what you are now! and you're not even invincible you still die over and over again but you just can't stay dead and even THAT'S not certain. perhaps if they had been chosen for a reason they could make some sense of it but they don't KNOW. all they have is what they make of it

Insecure Reader X Geto Suguru Finding Out
check out part 1 here
a/n: Thank you Anon for your request ♡⁠˖. This one turned out a bit long, kinda like a oneshot so I didn't include other characters, but there will be a part 3, since someone requested Choso/ Megumi / Sukuna. I'll be posting them soon.
P.S: For anyone who didn't see their requests posted, it's because I'm still working on them <3
TW: Mention of Self-harm, Depression, Negative body image.
Tumblr media
Despite multiple pleas from family and close friends to open up, find happiness, and lead a better life without hiding, they still don't know that stepping out of your comfort zone means exposing the harm you've inflicted on your body as a way to punish yourself for simply being you.
But love works in mysterious ways, and has a way of transforming people, and now, every day, you find yourself making an effort for Geto Suguru—the man who turned your world upside down and indirectly encouraged you to embrace your true self. The happiest day of your life was when he asked you out on a date, making you feel worthy of love and care.
He always treated you with sweetness, but a sense of guilt lingered for hiding a big part of your life from him. Maybe it's because you chose to bury your past and start fresh, or maybe because of your insecurities, that prevented you from being authentic in front of him.
Tonight marked a special occasion as he would meet your family for the first time, anticipating a familial yet fancy dinner. He thought it'd be a great idea if both of you matched in color—black. So, he took you shopping to get a suit for himself and find the perfect dress for you.
The moment you'd been avoiding arrived, and you found yourself in a revealing short black dress he had chosen. Standing in front of the mirror in the changing cabinet, your eyes scanned your body, fixated on each scar from your past. Vulnerable emotions surged, and you gulped back the urge to cry.
"He'll hate me.." you whispered to yourself.
Not only would he be shocked by your appearance, but your family as well. At least, that's what you thought, as no one knew about your self-harm. It was a tough decision to make—whether to put back your clothes and continue concealing yourself from him or to walk out in that dress, letting everything unfold. You were prepared to accept whatever he would say, whether he chose to break up with you or accept you.
You clenched your fists, scared of his reaction, but you knew it was time to reveal the truth. The truth always surfaces, and if he doesn't see your scars today, he'll discover them eventually,when both of you have your first time. Pushing yourself out of the changing cabinet, you took a deep breath. The air hitched in your throat as your laid eyes on your boyfriend, who was already in the company of a stunning woman with a perfect figure and smooth skin,.. hugging him. The timing couldn't have been worse, especially as you were already having an internal breakdown and crisis from how the dress exposed one of your deep secrets.
Standing still, the weight of the moment hit you— not only would he see you like this, but also the woman who was hugging him. It felt like someone had struck a sensitive nerve in your mind, shifting elsewhere full of negativity. Trust issues resurfaced, fueling self-hatred within you, expecting both of them to judge you or maybe laugh at you..and Geto ditching you for her.
"Oh baby, you're here...Mei Mei this is my partner Y/n, Y/n this is my colleague Mei Mei" he started when he saw you.
You forced a smile to not come out as rude or jealous. Blinking away your tears, your trembling hands awkwardly trying to hide your scars, forcefully tugging on your dress. You noticed the way Mei Mei scanned you head to toe, your mind telling you that she's judging even though she wasn't.
"See ya Mei Mei, say Hi to your brother" said Geto waving her a goodbye,
And then approached you with a smile that quickly dropped. " b-baby?!" he started his heart pounding when his eyes fell in your scars "w-who did this to you?" he asked.
His question felt like a poisoned arrow that was aimed at your chest .You looked down, mind racing with unwelcomed ideas "maybe it's the end, I've never deserved him anyway" you thought to yourself.
"baby answer me!" he asked again and reached to hold your hand but you flinched away
" I -I did" you confessed,
and ran to the changing room to quickly strip out of the dress before Geto gets to catch you. But it was too late, you didn't even get to lock the door when he got inside joining you and locked the door behind him, traping both of you inside the cabinet. You expected him to yell at you,to voice his frustration and anger but you were left speechless when he pulled you into a his chest, engulfing you in his big arms, whispering,
"I'm sorry"
"why?" your voice cracked, thinking that it might be his way to break up with you but nicely.
"Because I wasn't there for you" he muttered into your hair.
"It was years ago Suguru..."
he pulled back, his thumbs wiping your tears away, looking at you with admiration yet with a broken heart.
"why baby why? tell me everything"
Both of you sat on the cold floor, his arms still around your shaking form.
"It was the only way to cope with my reality– b-because I've never liked the way I am. Everyone around me was trying to compliment me, but I've always taken it as a pity not a truth. My mind just couldn't accept it, so hurting myself was the only refuge to make me feel alive, to punish myself–",
you couldn't even finish the sentence, it was too overwhelming for you, to open a wound that you've been miserably attempting to heal.
"And you thought I'd leave you? You thought I wouldn't accept you?...Look at me my love, You're too precious to deal with all of this. You are important and worth fighting for. I'll fight the whole world if it means getting to be by your side forever. I'm here to protect you and what we have between us is a safe place for both of us. Dont harm yourself anymore, I won't let you do it again... Together we will find a healthier way to deal with your unhealed side. A way far away from harming yourself, okay?".
"What about these Suguru? what's gonna heal them?"
"You're beautiful the way you are! Even though it was a wrong way to cope with what you've been through, but still they're a reminder that you're strong for fighting and surviving till this day. I promise I'll plant a kiss on each scar everyday"
"What about my family...they don't know and I'm sca–"
"You'll wear this dress tonight, and no one has the right to judge you, be who you are, raise your head up and be proud of being you. And by the way, the dress is hugging your body perfectly.. damn you're turning me on–Yes just like that baby... Smile. Oh how I love that sweet smile of yours" He giggled leaning in for a kiss.
"Now roll that dress up a bit" he added
"But Suguru we're in public what if we get caught"
"Didn't I tell you that I love the thrill, but I promise I'll be quick, love. I just want to make sure that you know how beautiful and attractive you are both inside and out...let me treat you well.."
💌✨ Dear readers, remember you are beautiful inside and out, you are worth it and you are deserving of all the love and happiness. I want you to know that you're not alone. I know that overcoming the daily struggles, the negative feelings, the insecurities and self-harm is a challenging journey. Healing takes time but each step you take towards recovering is a great Triumph, so be proud of who you are. Remember that it's okay to ask for help your past doesn't define you and the journey towards self-love is worth every effort. I love you all ✨💌

I've recently seen a lot of discourse sprouting on the fact that in the original writing of the Dance of the Dragons, Rhaenyra is wed to Harwin and she still gets usurped, thus somehow "confirming" that the greens were nothing but misogynists after all, and that she was usurped on nothing but accounts of her gender.
While misogyny is one of the main reasons why Alicent and Otto pushed most lords to agree and pledge loyalty to the Greens, saying it was just because of that is not understanding the position Alicent was in, and what brought her to think that what she was doing was in fact necessary for the sake of her ambitions and children.
Alicent, both in book and show, was a victim and the perfect example of what women in a quasi-medieval setting are promised in exchange for all the pain and sacrifice they go through. In Fire and Blood, she is the daughter of the Hand of the King, the second most important man of the realm. She probably accepted to marry Viserys because she had been promised all the delight that would come with being a Queen, much more if she would've been able to give the King sons, which was what he lacked and what he was remarrying for. Anyone would be happy with that idea. Especially an 18 year old girl who, although described as smart for her age, was surely not a mastermind that wanted to rule the world, please, she just wanted to be happy despite the horrors of the world she was born into.
It's that when she does her duty and gives Viserys not one, not two, but THREE sons and he still doesn't do shit about the succession crisis that is actively waiting to happen then what is she supposed to feel? All her life has been a lie, she's stuck in a position she would've never chosen for herself if only she knew better. To top it all off, the princess that is actually named heir does whatever she pleases and trusts her father to clean up her mess, which somehow ALWAYS WORKS, and is proving herself to be a major risk to the lives of her children if she doesn't react as soon as she gets the chance.
She's had multiple reasons to believe Rhaenyra could and would have killed her brothers the moment they stood in her way, and they kept piling up one after the other, but of course dowright admitting she was doing it to preserve her own safety would draw little to no support, duh, lords don't care about anyone's children unless it's theirs, of course they had to argue it was because Rhaenyra was a woman and she had bastards. That was the only way someone might've been interested to join their cause, because to the eyes of other nobles it turned into a matter of keeping up a certain model of society that gave them various advantages.
And let's not act like the Lords on Rhaenyra's side were that much different either. The Velaryons were Team Black solely because of Baela and Rhaena's betrothal, and other houses simply did the math between the side that had 11 dragons and the side that had 4, and chose the one with more flying nuclear weapons. At that point the ulterior motive was choosing teams because you genuinely wholeheartedly supported Aegon or Rhaenyra, not because you had something to gain lol.
So yes, Rhaenyra is still getting usurped even if she marries Harwin Strong, because she's still a risk to Alicent's children and because siring bastards is probably the least bad thing she's done up until that point. Rhaenyra's genitals and her kids are not the only arguments the Greens can use against her, I promise.

Hiii!! Hope you're having a good day! I really enjoy your work 💖
I'm curious about this...can I request a one shot, please uwu? from Suguru werewolf (Yandere soft), after of so many years he finally found his mate... she's a witch who is already engaged in marriage whit someone else, maybe a stupid sorcerer like Naoya (?) What will Suguru do to always have her by his side? maybe mate with her (NFSW) and kidnapped before the wedding...it's the only way to prove that she belongs to him.
Only if you want and if you like the idea 💡! If not it's ok. Have a good day, and thanks for your time.
The day you became his mate

Being lonely, it was hard to keep all your needs in check. Not having a partner for a werewolf is unbearable. Painful because there is no love in life. No hugging or kissing. There is no closeness of another person. Alpha would always miss an omega. The earth would miss water. The plants would miss the sun. He misses a partner.
He doesn't care if his partner is like him, a werewolf, or a different human. It does not matter. If his partner was a werewolf, it would have to be omega. Because he chose to be a loner. He lives alone, he has no partner. He doesn't stick to his relatives. He doesn't stick to his group. He's an alpha, werewolf, loner. He is independent and did not care whether someone is with him or whether he is alone. But still, the more and longer he lived like that, the more he felt the desire to have a mate. He was already 27 years old. And he never had a mate in his life. It never felt real. That's why he already wants to have someone in his life…    Werewolves aren't ugly. You knew it well. You, when you were learning about different ethnic types and different species, you knew that as a witch, as a female sorcerer, you had to learn more than what was written in the books.
You've met a few werewolves, you've seen them. Werewolves are not large dogs, as they are described. Werewolves were people. They just had more features that weren't originally human. Better senses, higher physical fitness, sometimes there may be a tail and ears on their body. But that's all. Only this. They don't have fur.
You've noticed that werewolves are really beautiful creatures. The men are tall and handsome. Muscled. Women are beautiful. Their eyes are soul piercing. Strong bodies, sharp teeth. In your opinion, they really are majestic. But their hormones scared you. their behavior because of it. Werewolves don't need a partner of their own species. It can also be an ordinary person. The only thing that matters to them is that they feel a partner in another person. Then their hormones will work on a human anyway. The alphas in their hierarchy choose a mate for themselves. Or rather, it is fate that chooses them. They feel that someone is made for them.
You've always been terrified of this behavior of alphas who feel omega. Werewolves are aggressive when they have to. They don't kill for no reason. But their aggression also shows up in moments of closeness to a partner. Even though the dominant partner doesn't want to hurt their mate. You heard about it, and you knew you wouldn't get the feeling. You could enjoy it, but also regret it. It would be nice to hear that you have been chosen as a life partner for someone, and they love you unconditionally. For ever.
But your partner is no werewolf. You're getting married soon. Even though it is a marriage of duty and coercion. Your husband will be a man. An ordinary sorcerer from an influential family. With him, you can do whatever you want. You will be able to live peacefully. You'll even be able to look at books, learn more. Watch to understand more. Read something interesting. Even though your life with this man may not be as nice as it could be if you loved him.
You know that there are people living in a relationship with a werewolf. Even though others think it's dangerous. It's the same risk as always when a human is with a non-human. People's bodies are different from their bodies. And that's why they consider it dangerous. But nature cannot be blocked. If a werewolf feels a life partner in a human, it should not be resisted. After all, a werewolf can only have one true partner.
Only one with whom he will be connected forever.
You walked through the small shop, looking through various books. You were looking for something you like. Some title or genre of the book. Even supernatural romances or something like that. Even werewolves. You were looking for anything to kill your slow, boring time.
That's where you met him.
Who would have thought that a small shop on a street corner would be something that would change your life so much.
There was a lot in this store, and you wondered what he really came for when he didn't seem interested in anything.
He appeared when you couldn't reach the book on the last, highest shelf. No matter how tall you were, you couldn't reach it. The shelf was just too high.
Leaning on the cupboard with your hands and chest, you extended one hand once more.
There was no staff to help you because sometimes they disappear into the back room, leaving the shop alone for a while. But why at a time like this if you need help now? Or you just need a stool or ladder to pick up the item you want…
You felt your fingertips run along the spine of the book. And you hoped this was the book you wanted.
You grabbed the bottom and slowly pulled it out. You still can't see what you're doing because it's still so high… Where are all the tall people to help you…
You felt the book begin to wobble under your fingers. You swallowed that shelf under your breath. You continued to pull the book lightly towards you, even if it might fall on your head.
You won't die from a book falling on you… You'll protect your head and you'll be fine.
But the moment the book fell off the shelf, you saw that it wasn't the book you wanted at all, and you closed your eyes in annoyance.
The book flew out of your fingers, but before it could fall on you, something stopped it.
You opened your eyes to see a man's hand holding the book.
You looked at him. He was definitely tall. This answers your question. Suddenly, a tall, handsome man appears next to you and saves you from the attacking book… How strange that sounds. Your knight in shining armor on a white horse who saved you from colliding your head with an angry, aggressive book that fall on you from the shelf…
What an unusual and strange meeting…
Besides, if he was normal, he wouldn't come here…
People just watch what happens to others, record it, and share it as funny mishap videos…
Or they just watch and don't care.
This man here was a little different because he approached you.
And his reflexes were amazing because he caught the falling book so quickly and accurately. By one hand.
It's amazing. You wonder how many people are with such reflexes?
Or is he not human at all? After all, there are so many non-humans in this world.
"are you okay?"
You looked at his face.
What if you were right about him not being human?
When you saw the piercing purple of his eyes, you felt like you were standing under a predator…
You felt as if you were overwhelmed by his aura alone…
Is this what it's like to be a victim? Is that what it feels like?
After a while you realized you had to answer.
"Yeah… Thanks…" you said uncertainly as you stared up at the sky.
Even though it might look silly to others, it was something else to you. You couldn't take your eyes off its beauty.
He was definitely not a knight in shining armor on a white horse…
It was a dark, mysterious but kind knight with piercing purple eyes that flooded your senses and you couldn't look at anything else but that.. His hair was half pinned up like a black wave floating down his back and shoulders.
Suddenly you saw his hand move and he handed you the book which was falling on you. Keep looking into your eyes. Watching your every move. Every breath that came out of your sweet lips.
It wasn't normal…
"Uhm… Excuse me, could you pass me the book that was next to this one?" You asked quietly, blushing a little in embarrassment.
It was embarrassing that he was saving you from the book. It was embarrassing that you even asked him to help you because you couldn't handle it.
It was embarrassing that he was so close, and he was looking at you like that…
He smiled slightly and moved closer to you, reaching for another book.
As soon as he entered the store, he felt different than usual. He felt something pulling him inside. Something that makes him stay inside.
His body led him to books and stationery where he looked at things, then looked at other things.
He didn't need anything from the store, but he felt he had to be there. He didn't know the reason. It was just a feeling…
But as he went to the other shelf, he saw one person a little further away.
When he saw you, his body made his pupils dilate.
When he saw you, his heart sped up.
His body started working differently.
For every werewolf, there is only one such moment in life…
The moment he meets his mate…
When he noticed that you needed help, he came over and helped you. He wanted to be nice and also to get close. He wanted to know if his senses were deceiving him.
When he grabbed that book and looked at you, he felt there was no mistake.
He was suddenly worried that you might be injured. That something could happen to you. That's why he looked and asked if you were okay.
He was so glad you were okay.
He had never felt such relief before.
Even when he doesn't know your name.
When you asked him if he would give you the book, he couldn't refuse.
When he could move closer, he was so pleased with it.
As he felt your scent even more in his nostrils, the instincts that werewolves have when they smell their mate awakened in him.
He immediately felt that he had to protect you. He felt he had to keep you by his side.
He felt he had to mark you.
The best way, and also the only way, is to mate with a partner.
He just met you, but he felt it was the right thing to do.
His rational thinking tells him he can't do it now… After all, it wouldn't be moral for you to mate by force.
He didn't want to do this to you.
Can you give him more time? Maybe you'd like to meet him?
Just a few meetings before that happens…
You think to be his…
You are his soul mate…
The only mate he'll ever have…
You are the chosen partner for him.
You must be his… No matter what happens… You must be his… As his partner, one of a kind.
You must be his because he wants you both to be the most important thing to you. He's waited too long to let go of this opportunity now…
You won't get away with this…
You have to because he wants it.
You must, because the world has decided so for you…
You will be partners forever….
Even if he doesn't know you're going to be involved with someone else soon… 
Your friend, your best friend, your protector, your soul mate, Geto Suguru.
None of you expected that your meetings after such an unusual meeting would be so frequent.
You agreed right away
And he proposed it.
Who would have thought that in less than a month you would become his friend.
He is your friend. You two get along perfectly. That's why you think you're soul mates. Even if that's not possible in humans.
However, it didn't even surprise you when he said he wasn't human… After all, he looked different from the others…
He was a werewolf.
Now you could be glad that your best friend is someone who isn't even human.
You saw how his behavior changed when you were near him.
You saw how his pupils changed shape.
To go from sharp and small to suddenly round and wider as he looked at you.
You don't know what that means for werewolves, but you do know that people's pupils dilate when they see something they like.
You wonder if your pupils are also dilated when you look at him.
You are happy to have him near you because he is your friend. Someone you can always trust.
But he acts weird sometimes…
Weird behavior that sends shivers down your spine…
He's possessive and the most jealous of any friend you've ever had…
No one can get close to you when he's around, because he's around.
His eyes then change. Then you see how his teeth are sharp. How his body looks like he's getting ready to attack any human… It wouldn't make sense if he was human… Unfortunately, he's a werewolf.
You knew werewolves were territorial and protected those who mattered to them.
Exactly.
But you didn't expect such a reaction when you told him you were inviting him to your wedding as your best friend.
Then you saw how his face changed. From cheerful to petrified. His eyebrow twitched. His eyes have changed. His aura was completely different. You were beginning to be afraid of him, of what he might do to you…
You still wonder why he is like this from the beginning… As if his feelings express something other than friendship.
"Suguru, is something wrong?" you asked seeing his serious face.
"Are you getting married?" he asked suddenly, in such a cold voice.
"…Yeah. In a few days…I want you to be my guest."
"Who are you marrying?! You love him?! Why?!"
You backed away a bit, knowing you had angered him. You don't know why, but he was angry. His voice was cold and dry. A cruel scream bursting from his throat as he couldn't control his emotions. Not now…
"I'm marrying him out of necessity, but I don't mind. You probably don't know him. Zenin Naoya. He is a sorcerer. I'm marrying him because he comes from a powerful family." You said as your smile faded.
"Are you marrying him even though you don't love him?!" he shouted suddenly standing up.
"Suguru?"
"If you don't want it, just don't do it… You think I'm going to let someone else have you…?!!"
"Sugu…?"
"You think after so many years of being alone, I'm just going to let go of the person who's meant for me?! I won't let my mate go! No one will take you away… Even if I have to have you by force…"
He suddenly left.
Left you confused…
What did he say?
Are you his mate?
That's why he acted like that?
Are you made for him because you really are his soul mate?
Are you meant to be his partner?
He, as a werewolf, felt it, didn't he? But why didn't he tell you before?
You felt a bit scared after he said he would have you by force…
How can you not be afraid of this?
That's why he left.
He kept the last bit of his sanity, he left before he did anything he would regret…
If he had stayed there with you, his emotions would have made him hurt you.
That he would bond with you by force…
But is there anything wrong with binding you to him by force?
You have to be his anyway… That's why… Is there anything wrong with that?
You felt bad for the next few days.
It was your last night before your wedding…
You were supposed to enjoy. You were supposed to get ready and rest before this important day.
You wanted to see Suguru. You wanted him to come and support you on this day… as your best friend…
But you don't know what to think about it, since he told you something like this…
You are his mate…
Could something that was scary for you at times really be true?
It would be really nice to have someone who loves you always. No matter what. It doesn't matter what you look like. It doesn't matter who you turn into…
A werewolf's true love will never fade away. Because he will be with you forever.
You you were chosen for Suguru… Can you break his heart…?
If only you had a choice…
You'd like to apologize to him. Because there's nothing you can do alone to prevent this wedding…
You can apologize to him now…
You didn't want to hurt him… You didn't want to deprive him of love…
You didn't want to break his heart…
Combing your hair while I was sitting in the chair by the mirror, all you see is how your eyes have gotten darker. Lustreless. Your eyes didn't sparkle because you couldn't see Suguru's eyes.
Gently running the brush through your hair, all you thought was that a warm bath and going to bed might relax you.
  The moment the door to your room suddenly opened, you jumped, quickly getting up from your chair.
Holding the brush in front of you as if it were a knife.
Whatever defense you have with you.
You saw a familiar face and tall figure as he emerged from the hallway. Coming into your room. Closing the door behind him. Slamming them sharply against the doorframe in the wall.
"Suguru…" You grumbled as you put your brush down on the shelf and slowly walked over to him.
But you stopped the moment you saw him starting to take off his hoodie.
Staying in a black t-shirt.
"I knew that only one thing could keep us both together…"he said as he untied his hair. Letting them fall on his back completely.
"What???"
"I knew from the beginning that you would be my partner forever… But for all this to happen, I'd have to do something… There's nothing wrong with forcibly marking you… Right?"
You took a step back when you saw his eyes.
Predator looking at prey.
"If you give up, it will be easier for me as well as for you." he said as he took off his shoes and then pulled his shirt over his head, showing you a muscular torso.
You blushed slightly and took a step back.
"It will be better for you if you approach me politely now and let me do whatever it takes."
You looked at him as he stopped.
"Because no matter what you do, you'll still be mine. Since we met. And since I walked into this room, there's no way you're leaving this house without being marked by me. I'll be softer if you come now."
Your body was paralyzed.
You couldn't move because of the stress. You knew what was about to happen…
You have no choice anyway…
He'll do it anyway… No matter what you choose…
You took one small step forward.
"I'll take that as a half answer. I'll be softer than I was meant to be…" he said as he suddenly appeared in front of you, pressing your lips hard against his.
Something happened that always scared you…
Alpha partner aggression towards omega partner…
Even though a partner doesn't want to hurt the other partner…
His body works like this…
He, feeling his partner's body, just couldn't help himself.
Something that used to scare you all the time is actually so good…
He's brutal, you have to admit it. But there's a subtlety to it. Also the way he kisses you and hugs you sometimes.
How he says sweet words to you as his hips hit yours.
With brute force, with hellish pace. Not allowing you to breathe normally.
His hands squeezing your hips and waist as he slammed his cock into your insides. Like it's about to tear you apart.
Tears flowed from your eyes, saliva flowed from your mouth. You cried through the overwhelming emotions and all the feeling.
A pain that fills you with such pleasure that you can't think straight.
The knowledge of the words suddenly disappeared from your mind, and all you could do was moan his name.
Your whole body was bitten and aching. Your wounds stung.
However, what was supposed to be painful and horrible was actually so good…
Your body reacted to it…
When you lay on your stomach with your ass up for him, you couldn't move. Your body was so soft. All the nerves in your body were burning with pleasure.
You don't know how long it lasts. But you know you're not going back to your normal life after all this.
You feel him entering you again and again. Feeling everything as he uses your body for pleasure. Giving you pleasure too. Letting you feel such an overwhelming feeling that it didn't feel like you were having normal sex.
So that's the point of their bodies not being the same as human ones…
His body can give you much more pleasure. And through it all, you're melting under his hips. Feeling hotter every time his hips hit your ass. As he entered you so deeply each time. So precisely hitting all sensitive points.
So much so that you came on his big cock, milking him, encouraging him to come inside you. Even though that's what he wanted to do with you.
Pour his semen deep into your womb and breed with you.
He wanted to mark you as his mate, forever.
With his length kissing your cervix every time, he was hugging you, and all he wanted was for you to moan his name.
What a sweet partner for him that he loves so much.
You will stay for him forever.
"Fuck… I love you… You're… You're mine…"
He wanted others to see that you were gone. He wanted others to see that you weren't in the room and that you weren't coming to the wedding.
Once you're marked as his, you won't go back to your old life because you're going with him.
With his cock moving in and out of your pussy again and again, you felt your body becoming so sensitive.
Until finally you felt even more hot as you wrapped yourself around him. As your body melted under his thrusts and kisses. In his arms.
He didn't mean to hurt you. And since your body was taking it so well… It's not bad for you.
You're his partner, That's why you won't leave his side.
You will live with it. You will not leave his house. You'll never come back.
He won't let him lose you.
His only partner. The person he loves. His mate.

Hello! I just found this blog and read through all your content, I love it so far :) May I request for Zhongli, Diluc, Kazuha, Wanderer, and Alhaitham reacting to reader making self-deprecating jokes a lot or implying that they could do better?
i'm so glad you like the blog anon <3 extremely happy that all of you have been so wonderful so far! gives me more motivation to write. i've got you! i'm assuming you're asking for this in the context of being chubby, so that's what i'll go with!
with an insecure chubby partner
characters featured: zhongli, diluc ragvindr, kaedehara kazuha, scaramouche/wanderer, al-haitham
pronouns used: none--second person perspective.
warnings: mentions of fatphobia and general themes of insecurity/self loathing based on body type, usage of pet names (my treasure, my dearest, dove) (zhongli, diluc, kazuha), physical touch as comfort (all)
notes: written with a chubby reader in mind. will not work if you aren't chubby.
zhongli will hear nothing of it when you express to him that you feel he could do so much better than you, whether you frame it as a joke or not. "nonsense, my treasure. I would love you no matter what form you took, and I am quite partial to this one as it stands. I have changed my own appearance many, many times over the years--and not a single one could measure up to your beauty." he gently takes you in his arms, his embrace warm and all-encompassing as any doubts left lingering melt away. zhongli is not a man who withholds any praise whatsoever, and this conversation will just encourage him to make it even more frequent. what kind of a partner would he be if his most cherished one didn't know just how adored they are?
diluc ragnvindr is stunned into silence for a good while. if anything, he is the one who feels unworthy of you, so you'll have to forgive him for just blinking owlishly at you for a few moments as he processes and thinks of how he wants to respond. "I...that's nonsense, my dearest. has someone been rude to you to bring this on? if so, please don't hesitate to let me know and I will take care of it. or perhaps I have not been vocal enough about how appealing you are. or--" you have to cut him off with a hug before he gets too upset on your behalf. he laughs sheepishly as you gently run a hand through his hair to soothe him. he's supposed to be consoling you, not the other way around! diluc being diluc, you both end up curled up on the couch to have an earnest and sincere talk about your feelings. he knows he isn't the best at expressing himself, and you make him want to change that.
kaedehara kazuha fixes you with a gentle but firm gaze and a raised eyebrow. "whatever would make you think that, dove? is this your way of letting me know I haven't been affectionate enough lately?" he's concerned, but he knows exactly what's going on--he can read you too well. he just wants you to explicitly speak your mind in your own words and tell him yourself what's eating you. and when you do, insecurities bubbling out of you like a fountain, he listens. after you finish, he nods thoughtfully, gently taking your hand and rubbing circles with his thumb. "you have far too harsh a view of yourself. not only are you attractive in body, but in soul as well. I believe I have chosen my partner well, and you cannot decide who or what is what I really need, as harsh as that may sound. accept that I chose you and continue to choose you, and that any perceived inadequacies are just that--perceived. not truth." leave it to kazuha to be gentle and wise, putting the rest of your fears to bed.
wanderer can't stop himself from outright scoffing. "are you stupid? who are you to decide who is or isn't good for me?" when your distress doesn't ebb, he sighs, grabbing you by the shoulders and looking you directly in the eyes as he seems to fluster just a bit. "look at me. I'm only gonna say this once, so you had better pay attention. I love you. I think you're the most attractive person ever. anyone who thinks otherwise is an absolute coward judging others on their body type. it's shallow to only love someone based on appearances, and it's just stupid to tell someone that's attractive that they're not. there. happy now?" he's so flustered by the end of his little speech, his gaze dropping to the floor as his hands still stay on your shoulders. he says he'll only say this once, but...you're too important to him. he's going to do this again.
al-haitham actually closes the book he's reading, his gaze softening in a way that's almost imperceptible if you don't know him well. "well, to begin, thank you for trusting me and telling me. as much as I respect your honesty about your feelings, factually you're incorrect. even if I didn't find you physically attractive, a human being is made up of much more than just their appearance. judging a person solely on one thing is reductionist and a frankly ineffective way of measuring worth. I didn't know you took me for a shallow man." he's teasing you with the last sentence, his tone shifting to his sarcastic lilt, and as you smirk in response you can find no fault in his logic. he has always been the one to tout that "uniqueness is an asset" and to disregard the opinions of others in terms of his life, so you can take comfort in knowing he backs up his words with his actions and personal philosophies. he's got his own way of doing things, but you will never want for reassurance if you should want or need it. he knows you're strong, but as any biologist will tell you, humans are social creatures. he's happy to provide you, the one that has more than earned it, with his support.

⊹ SPEAK NOW | malleus draconia
Tumblr media Tumblr media
premise. malleus has been planning something for a while now, first he decided quality was foremost. wouldn't you appreciate the things he love about you? well that failed. now he just has to settle with quality, the most grandest suprise of a confession just for you.
it's just a battle of will if his impatience clouds over the voices that won't even let him profess to you!
content. gender neutral reader, fluff, crack
wc. 4.2k words, I know it's a hassle to read long posts but give me a chance :')
note. thank you to paru who generously commissioned me again! <3 i hope you enjoy it and everyone else as well <3
written a total of 8k+ words for mal in the span of two works now whew wow
Tumblr media
not even malleus' future coronation would hold the amount of planning as this.
"my, I'm very impressed." sat upon a velvet chair lilia chuckles with a clear look of amusement present on his face. "I did not expect you to learn how to create a powerpoint presentation." 
he watches malleus' lips curve into a small smile—no doubt feeling a sense of accomplishment by the former's words. he was always like this wasn't he? looking for praise when he was a child. fufu.. lilia muses, but his boy is all grown up now. malleus is no longer a child despite lilia having to say something about it.
no longer a child as in now a grown man attempting to get his 'approval' of his apparent chosen beloved.
when malleus stretched out an invitation to him for a serious talk (well. malleus didn't mention the serious part but the look on his face, is something lilia can easily discern.) he didn't think much of it. perhaps the boy just wanted to open up about something.
he's not sure if malleus already sensed his presence but lilia is sure that even though he's getting pretty old blending in with the shadows is a skill he hasn't slacked off upon.
lilia chose not to announce his presence and step out instead, who knows? maybe malleus will finally emit that startled face he's been looking for. though he seems used to the sight of lilia popping out of nowhere.. in everywhere to the point that it just doesn't bother him as much.
unsurprisingly malleus didn't bat an eye and just ushered him to sit down and that he did.
lilia merely watches in amused silence when malleus attempts to open the laptop, failing to click the right button for a few times before the black screen brightens up in light. before he knew it he could spot the microsoft powerpoint icon below the bar.
being curious was an understatement.
though he's certainly proud that the device; valid enough to call frail did not break under malleus' power. or, maybe he should just be proud that the boy did not lose his cool.
by the time lilia finished pondering about it, malleus had finally figured out how to fullscreen it. "are you ready?" politely questioned by the horned man, at least he still attained the manners taught by lilia.
the latter flashes him a fanged grin. "whenever you are."
the first screen is just an introduction. it looked familiar and lilia is fairly sure malleus just looked up a tutorial and copy-pasted it. 'why you should be my lover.' it read, and he already knew that this isn't meant for him. but meant to get his opinion.
not for me but for you. he muses. how adorable!
'1.) I am very influential. I will be king soon and I will get you whatever you ask.' true but he should get your opinion on that, whether you care about his status or not.
'2.) you told me you like my horns, so I shall banish everyone else who has it if it could deter you from loving me.' ah. that one is a bit extreme.. lilia has no doubts that the boy will actually do it.
malleus' face though, shifts into something serious when he spots the second slide. yep, he's not joking.
'3.) I find you very endearing and would like to wed you as soon as possible.' eh.. this one showcases his clear love for you but since humans and fae have varied degrees of love it might be a little too fast for you.
'4.) ramshackle has its charms but my castle is a much more comfortable living condition. if you'd be mine it will all be yours' romantic.
'5.) I will be with you forever. if there is ever a time when the world is against you, it will be us against it together. rest assured, you will not be alone because I will face it with you'
"how swe—oh." lilia blinks when malleus accidentally exits and with his keen eyes, was able to spot the amount of slides there are. goodness me. there are over a hundred. lilia chuckles.
lilia loves malleus. very much so, that boy is practically his son that he raised with his sweat and tears. there are no lengths he's not willing to cross for his beloved family but wow.. for once lilia is speechless once he realizes.
a bit much.. isn't it? though not mentioned, malleus took his sweet time going over each slide and pausing to further elaborate on the contents of the smile. and if there really are over a 100 slides it isn't gonna finish anytime soon.
plus cater invited lilia for another night out. isn't that nice? he can't simply bail on his.. young friend like that.
"I can see how much you see the prefect dear." lilia starts, watching malleus' face soften into something genuine. "if you want my honest opinion. a human will not receive much love in the valley." he says simply.
just like that his face crumbles into something heartbroken. like the truth was just slapped to his face and left there. lilia's heart clenches at the look so he continues, "but my opinion as your caretaker, love knows no bounds. if you truly love them then you should do so freely." 
just like that malleus looks up at him, peering and all. looking hopeful.
slowly but surely the light that had drained from his face gradually came back and lilia is taken back to the past once he compares his current expression to one when he was a kid receiving his first gift that's something other than an object made entirely out of riches.
a gift so priceless.
malleus smiles, the one where his eyes would crinkle and obscure his vision, and his pointy ears would twitch in joy. if he had a tail it would certainly be wagging right now. "thank you. shall I deliver it to them now?"
"you mean to send, honey?"
he blinks. "ah, yes."
_
in an equally concerning and interesting way. lately, sebek has been... more lenient? which is strange to a degree because he would never let you get away without scolding your ear off for literally referring to malleus as 'tsunotaro'. 
well. he did pause to give you a look but you get the point! the sebek does not only spare a look when it comes to the expense of malleus.
ace chatters away beside you, once again attempting to start an argument against deuce who's very intent on being a pacifist for some reason.
and grim? well. grim's probably robbing someone's lunch right now.
for once all you four have collectively set your eyes on something. you narrow your eyes. "he's acting weird." your hand flicks to a certain green-haired male while the other three nod in agreement.
"why don't we ask him right now?" ace suggests with a cheeky smile. before deuce could object and clamp his mouth shut he was already shouting; "sebek! why are you acting weird?"
said boy immediately hears. fae heritage you suppose. you can tell from the furrow of his brows but for an odd reason, you’re not sure of yourself his face shifts into something.. proud? sebek looks at the student he was conversing with before walking over.
and with a triumphant grin he says; “malleus-sama has finally taken notice of my devotion!” you raise your brows and share a look with the other three cause, seriously? that man can’t notice sebek if it meant his life.
though you can't deny the rush of curiosity flowing into your head. sure, it seemed wholly impossible and weird overall but it didn’t mean that you wouldn’t wanna find out.
it seemed like deuce wanted to know as well. “uh.. how exactly?”
“ha! are you planning to do the same?” huffed sebek.
deuce looked like a mixture of offended and concerned. “let’s go with that?”
“well, lilia-sama sent me a presentation and said it was from the master. It was about appreciating my one-of-a-kind existence!”
you look flabbergasted. “oh… wow, i didn’t know malleus was so caring about his.. subjects.”
sebek nods in agreement. to think about it, at the mention of lilia and the message in the same sentence flashes a series of memories back into your mind. earlier this day, didn't lilia send a heads up? something about malleus and.. message.
but that's just crazy right? there's no way it would be connected to this. you nod your head at sebek slowly, "good for you dude." his face scrunches up at your casual nickname but in favor of your genuine comment, he'll let it slide.
blinking, you ask; "where is malleus anyways?" at your question sebek's back straightens as he stands up straight and sort of, glowers at you.
a part of sebek knows that the most logical action to do right now was, of course, to withdraw that kind of information from you cause really, who are you? in comparison to the young master, not even the most noblest of nobles are being told his locations.
for a security measure sebek approves of.
but sebek has witnessed and watched malleus' glory himself. next to you, it's as though you’re blind to it which is immensely insulting—but, as he's on his way to run his mouth off at you he sees something in the young master's eyes.
something new and warm.
maybe that's what he needs. someone who will be blind to the glory accompanying him and just see the person behind it. that must be it! malleus feels like a person behind your eyes.
though most do not think so, you're good for him. and even as much as sebek would rather strangle himself to admit it, it's true.
so he makes up his mind and just tells you, sparing the other three (who are very interested in the conversation apparently.) a glance before leaning towards you so they won't hear. "I heard the young master was visiting the botanical garden."
huh. that's new.
before you could open your mouth to ask why he just shoves the face of his palm to your face. "and do not even think about sharing this to anyone!" he shouts. alerting everyone that you do have something to say.
seriously?
sebek just marches away, most probably going to haul silver out of his peaceful nap.
"what did he say?" asked ace.
you make a blank face. for the sake of your dignity, and probably his own you'll keep the promise sebek bestowed upon you. "absolutely nothing."
you ignore ace's grumbles and complaints, out of anticipation you suppose. there's nothing juicier than whatever he witnessed and since sebek practically announced it he wants to know whatever he told you.
again. you give the other two a farewell before walking off without another word to ace.
clearly, there's something freaky going on inside the garden. you wince, picking your leg out of an awfully strong grip of a plant that's very much alive. well, you knew they weren't dead but they didn't always try to just rip off your limbs.
also, it was literally raining in here, how is it raining?! the sun was literally out like a second ago before you entered.
if that wasn't supernatural then you don't know what is.
which makes you curious. whose ass would professor crewel and crowley alike hand back to them? something as strange as this wouldn't pass without notice.
you flinch. also, does no one see the lightning flashing from outside?!
okay so you know that malleus would definitely survive under this weather but your real question is; where the hell is he anyways? from the amount of time you crossed through the botanical garden gave you a vague understanding of the layout.
but that didn't mean you'd really enjoy spending a good amount of time wandering in search of a green man.
with horns.
he's pretty tall..
you blank. "malleus?" you try.
surprisingly unsurprising the man literally materializes next to you in the form of.. some kind of sparkle. and he displays a cool attitude even at the sight of you frowning at him out of confusion, probably also recovering from the jumpscare.
"oh.. you actually came." you deadpan. was it that easy all along?
a smile plays on his lips. "you called."
"is someone bothering you, child of man?" he asked seriously. stepping forward and you notice that he hesitates in taking your arms and checking them over but instead lets them hover over it uselessly.
you raise your brows but make no move to point him out. "uh.. no? but something is bothering me though."
maybe saying that was a mistake cause you suspect that malleus' fondness for you (if not too big of an assumption) surpasses all kinds of basic logic sometimes.
by sometimes you mean.. a long of times.
in a flash his concerned look shifts into something hilariously serious. "hm? there are.. what is it then? a cursed artifact?" your brows furrow and in a way you actually don't know what to say.
"what." you deadpan. "no?"
"perhaps lilia's guitar with electricity is bothering you?" tried again by malleus.
uh oh. now you gotta deny that one or else he'll actually destroy that and lilia is gonna be really cold when he does that. "heavens no!"
now he just looks confused. "what is it then? tell me. I will rid it for you."
you sweatdrop. "no I mean.. I heard you were supposed to be giving me a message or something from lilia. but you weren't anywhere so I asked where you were." you explained. gesturing wildly as malleus listens intently. 
finally, after a good solid 10 seconds of silence, a look of understanding washes over his face and you exhale a sigh of relief. "ah. that is correct."
"so where is it?"
"please, give me a second."
right in front of your eyes he just flat-out disappeared in the same particles he appeared with. so you just stand there awkwardly in silence, only realizing that the very stormy weather had disappeared and faded into something normal.
you shrug. weird things are normal here you guess.
before then malleus had already returned with a.. chest of.. crystals and he looks oddly bashful and shy when he just holds it out to you. (also proud? but you get the point!) "uh." you start, unsure.
"what's this?" you gesture to the bundle that would cost you a whole literal mansion to get.
he smiles at you. "I realized that perhaps the message from the electronic device would not match up the meaning I'd like to convey so I figured I'd do this instead." also you didn't even reply to him. of course you wouldn't! he'd feel insulted too if that's all he'd do to express his love and gratitude. 
malleus takes advantage of your confusion and carefully places the box in your arms. you nearly fall over from the weight cause what the hell are these things made of?
expensive minerals you suppose.
"these are traditional gifts in briar valley." he explained. but like, what? you mean over a thousand gems and whatnot in a box is a gift? all of a sudden you feel bad gifting him a rock as a joke because you didn't have anything on you.
I should really step up. you think grimly.
malleus seems to be thinking. "and.. a gift for cour—"
"malleus." seethed an eerily cold voice. both of you just freeze and malleus shuts up completely. is he actually looking tense and scared?!
you look at lilia with wide eyes, unblinking in fear that if you do blink he's just gonna teleport right at your face and next thing you know everything's black.
although malleus definitely looks less horrified than you, he looks way too scared for you to think that way. 
hesitantly, malleus replies quietly. "lilia." he places his arms behind his back like he's speaking to a war general or something but that's impossible haha..
"care to explain why my instrument suddenly caught on fire after it got struck by electricity?" lilia raises a brow. casting you a kind glance for a second before returning his sharp look at malleus.
the latter tips his head in shame and you feel like you should not be witnessing this.
but wait. malleus actually did that? you thought he was literally joking.
you did not see malleus after that.
to word it better he was not allowed to see you.
lilia had said, and you quote. 'he simply won't learn if I don't punish him' with a shrug so casual that you doubted if it was the same malleus he grounded that you were thinking about. 
the 'top 10 in ranking in terms of power' kind of malleus you were thinking.
if malleus actually listened to lilia then you doubt that he doesn't have some kind of comparable power.
while for some time you did think that lilia sent malleus to solitary confinement, unlikely but with him apparently not having met with anyone it's definitely possible.
well that theory was quickly thrown out the window when you find a letter right at the mat of your front door. signed in an eccentric manner by; m.d which could only belong to one person.
long story short, he wanted to meet you at the school cafeteria which was strange in itself cause you're almost sure that the students avoid malleus like the plague and if he's there surely it'd be wiped out right now.
which.. you're not exactly opposed to if it meant not having a huge line to the menu!
though you suppose the environment had made you used to it.
when you come close the doors magically open, and they were not given the privilege to close seeing as they still sensed you near.
well the reason why you won't let the doors just close is for the very fact that the tables of the cafeteria are absolutely gone. replaced with many eccentric tables filled with food, and drinks alike.
also, there's a literal disco ball so something was definitely going on. was there some kind of secret prom that no one told you about? if so then you're about to bolt out knowing full well you're in your regular uniform.
many people who you presume as students are all littered across the room with varying fancy degrees of clothing. either devouring the tables or just dancing.
overall it was very fancy and clearly you aren't even meant to be here.
you pause a little longer to take in the surroundings in hopes of satisfying your curiosity. unfortunately, all you had was a party you accidentally trespassed on (again. not your fault, no one told you!) so you just turned on your heel, and the doors literally shut in your face.
"???" you blink.
"apologies but if I let you leave malleus will be more upset." giggled a familiar voice, far less colder than you remember from your previous meeting. you snap your head to lilia who looks like he's resolved whatever with malleus.
you furrow your brows. "wait, this is his doing?" you cross your arms over your chest. unlike this very colorful room, in comparison to appealing dark malleus it was completely a contrast. a weird one.
lilia nods with a cheeky smile. he knows more than he tells you. "yes."
"but why exactly?"
"hm. you really don't know? shall I tell you?" he places a finger over his chin and looks up. "I shouldn't!"
is he really doing this right now?
at your frowning face lilia chuckles away. "I'm merely jesting, dear. you see malleus hasn't gotten time to properly convey his message to you."
well, that is true. you blank. even a few days ago since the adeuce duo was always following you around it was only in due time that their tongues would betray them when malleus asked to talk to you alone.
"you didn't even send the message that you said he had for me." you narrow your eyes at lilia who pauses. "oh, did I?"
"yes, you did."
he shrugs. "well that was an accident."
"like the time at the botanical garden?"
this time he looks more sheepish at your constant picking but quickly laughs it off. lilia appears behind you and guides you down the main area with a push. for such a small body he's doing it quite easily, no?
not that you'd ever say that out loud.
"I shouldn't keep my boy's special guest, off you go." he whisks you away to the crowd and pushes you there.
next thing you know you're face to face with a very happy malleus who obviously perks up at your presence and waves a finger.
suddenly there's some kind of big light shining down at you, in response you raise an arm over your eyes and think; what in the hell is going on?! why is everything going so fast?
you could hear everyone silence out and feel the embarrassment grow tenfold. why did you even come here again? "my child of man." malleus starts and by the volume of his voice you can tell that he's using a microphone. 
you freeze up. "what." you reply slowly.
"before I've met you my world was encased in grey and white."
is he like proposing or something?
"everyone was afraid of me, even those deemed as strong. so it made me wonder, why you? a powerless, ordinary human were not?" way to hurt a 'powerless, ordinary human's' feelings malleus
"perhaps I am a fool but I realized the reason why everything was so colorless. when I stared into your eyes for the first time I realized that everything was warm—colorful. the rest isn't my world, because it's—"
you were about to think that you were equally flattered and embarrassed but before he could finish his little speech the mic just gets straight up cut off. 
everyone looks behind malleus and you want to bolt out when you realize that those three are your friends. you facepalm. "oh for the love of.."
malleus reaches out to you. "wait—"
"hmph. I should have known this would have attracted trouble." vil.
"child of man?"
"how improper! draconia was speaking.. when I get my hands on them it's off with their head!" riddle.
"I apologize for the inconvenience i—"
"if you'd like them to have a suitable punishment I know just the thing." azul.
"stop speaking right now." seethed malleus.
"everyone keep talking." said leona smoothly. 
"oh my.. this will end in disaster." lilia.
"ace I told you to not go here!"
"shut up deuce!"
"you—"
a myriad of voices all start bypassing each other and it's honestly hard to hear who's speaking save from a few familiar voices.
you glance at everyone with a mixture of concern and irritation before your gaze lands over malleus, then down his hand which held a microphone who was long broken before.
somehow lightning strikes inside the cafeteria, just centimeters away from the trio who huddled together and shook in a group hug.
"ENOUGH." everyone does just that.
"as I was saying, you are my world (name) and I'd very much like it if I can be yours." malleus says quickly, looking away shyly before smiling at you like he didn’t just snap.
everyone's jaw drops, including yours but that's not the only thing that did because well. you did too! figuratively and literally. 
if the silence wasn't already prominent before then it certainly is because everyone just watched you on the floor after the thump, clearly unconscious and comically steaming from the ears.
then it's just a very panicky-chaotic scenario, a lot of screaming that just made more people start screaming too.
in a flash, malleus is hovering over your body. simultaneously looking you over for possible injuries that might have caused this and about to stare down anyone that actually dared to come in closer.
except lilia it seems.
the last person that tried to approach was grim and he got the searing glare from malleus.
malleus softens his look once he spares a glance at you and quickly leans over to lilia. "what's happened? have they been poisoned? cursed?"
lilia chuckles. "not at all. I'm afraid your confession had not only given everyone a shock but them as well."
"so I've done this?" malleus looks immensely saddened. lilia explains once again like he's done it over a hundred times. "it's not your fault my dear."
"you bring them to the infirmary, stay by their side. I'm sure they will be happy to see you there one they wake up." lilia said, malleus already being one step ahead and sliding you in his arms.
he's dreamt of doing this but definitely not this way!
"meanwhile I will deal with this mess of a party." lilia shakes his head. "go now."
an hour later you wake up disoriented and so confused as to why malleus is so suddenly affectionate with you. the bigger question is, why is everyone staring at you?!
"so you'll help me right, azul?"
the former laughs nervously at you and tips his hat in an apologetic motion. "I'm afraid I can't.. someone like me surely is not worth your time." he continues laughing, sneaking a gaze behind you and dipping it quickly once he sees the flash of green.
you just stare at him confused. why won't anyone talk with you normally?
Tumblr media

This is The Last One *I promise*
ok I seriously swear this is the last one omg
But we're going to tackle my Favorite moment of this whole episode, and one that all of us SandRay fans have been waiting for!!
Let's finish strong!!
----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm living for the candid conversations that are happening on this getaway because seriously they would not have even admitted they found each other attractive in the first three episodes and now they're talking about what would have happened if Ray had died.

I wonder if Sand is sort of beginning to see part of Ray's insecurity towards how people view him in this conversation. Sand doesn't think Ray is necessarily a shitty person (even though he can be a bit of an asshole), so it is interesting to see that Ray thinks his friends wouldn't mourn him because they view him as shitty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This bit was so cheesy and romantic and I LOVED it. It's important for Sand to realize that Ray has taken off the rose colored glasses for Mew, and is seeing the real world and the realness that is Sand's love for him.
I know a lot of people have been saying that Ray only went after Sand because Mew didn't want him. But I think Ray went after Sand because he realized he was wasting his time on someone he doesn't even feel much for anymore. He couldn't waste another second letting Sand slip through his fingers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was just fucking hot I don't even know what else to say.
Ok I'm kidding, I think this scene was beautiful, and it captured the build up of feelings from both of them. Ray wanting someone who can take care of and love him. Sand wanting to be loved and take care of someone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
First and Khaotung have got to be a little bit in love with each other because people do not have this much chemistry, and not have some sort of feelings for each other I mean seriously.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This little cheek kiss moment just blew everything out of the park. It felt very much like a silent promise and reassurance. Ray telling Sand that he is here with him, he's chosen him, and he chose with his heart and not the expectations he used to have.
This whole episode was a 10/10 and I'm so happy they at least had one episode of momentary happiness.
Until next week...
We still have the apartment scene to look forward to, which I'm guessing is tied to whatever Ray's dad asked of Sand (eek) but I still have hope that whatever fight they have, it'll make them stronger and they'll come out together in the end!
If you by any chance read all four posts, I salute you (you're sexy and hot).
If not here they are (part 1) (part 2) (part 3)
See you guys next week!!

yellowjackets s2 finale spoilers but I am screaming crying fucking throwing up that -
The wilderness ostensibly did choose Natalie the first time. It was Misty in all her human cunning who figured out a loophole, how she could change the game so it worked in her favor. She saved Natalie from being chosen when they were young, so not only did the wilderness return for what it was owed, it ensured Natalie's death was at Misty's own hand. It's so on-theme. The girls wanted Shauna to live and so her baby died. They asked for food and then there was Jackie perfectly cooked. Misty rescued Natalie from the others and now Misty has been unable to save Natalie from herself because she has never, ever been willing or able to engage with her own darkness no matter how many innocent people she hurts.
It's tragic and cosmic and it rips out my heart. Misty never wanted Crystal to die and she never wanted Natalie to die. This is the same girl who expressed anger at herself through grief-stricken sobs as she cried out, "You always do this!" She doesn't understand why she's like this or how she manages to shatter every single thing she cares about in the world despite trying so desperately to protect and preserve them. But she does. She's done it again and again and she always, every time, finds a way to make it not her fault.
The thing is - as much as the wilderness seems to function as a genie-esque entity that grants wishes but never in the way one might expect - "the wilderness" was always primarily a convenient excuse for the girls to externalize the darkness they couldn't accept as part of them. Shauna says as much - that it was an unspoken agreement among them to shift the fault for whatever they had to do to survive onto this powerful force that was easy to buy into and blame.
"It" returned and chose Natalie again because "it" is that need to justify and defend and believe even in the face of all evidence that you're still a good person who loves and helps and takes care of people. You're not a monster. You're not a killer, and even if you did kill a few people, it was for the good of the group.
Until, that is, you miscalculate your aim, and you get to live with having watched the light leave the eyes of the last person you loved in your arms because you killed her. You killed her for nothing; it meant nothing, it did nothing, it was for nothing, and it's going to ruin Misty Quigley as the one act she will never, ever find a good enough excuse to soothe away the guilt of.

Hi, well I was wondering if you could do a headcanon of what it would be like to propose to a male reader, the Lin Kuei trio and maybe Shang Tsung...?
A/n: I'm still alive, but is life busy lmao miss y'all hope I got Shang Tsung right
Bi-Han:
I'll be a contrarian here and say: this man would have no problem proposing.
If you guys got serious enough that marrying is on the table, he'll be very straightforward with it.
He is a man that know what he wants and puts effort into it. When he comes to the conclusion he wants to marry you, he'll waste no time.
He is, however, quite blunt. To put it mildly.
His proposal is the least romantic of the bunch. It's not that he doesn't care, it's just how he is.
When you say yes (bc why tf would you not???) he's the happiest you've seen.
He has a rare smile and a much kinder expression. He is truly happy.
And cocky. A lot.
Bi-Han is an arrogant man. An arrogant man who is going to marry the man he has chosen and has chosen him back. He's insufferable.
Already has a future planned for the two of you.
Kuai Liang:
My man literally jumped into marriage in lighting speed tf lol
But honestly, like his older brother, Kuai Liang won't take too long to figure out if that's what he wants.
Maybe he jumped into the relationship already knowing? Who knows...
I'll be a contrarian again and say that his proposal looks a lot like Bi-Han's.
Kuai Liang isn't as blunt as Bi-Han is, but he isn't stereotypically romantic either.
It's an intimate moment for him. Just him and the man he loves.
When you say yes (he's a keeper) it's like he lights up like a Christmas tree.
He is happy, his cute face looks better with a smile than the usual frown.
Quite possibly, you won't get him off of you for the next few hours.
He isn't as boastful as his brother, but he's feeling himself just as much. He's marrying a worthy man and he wants to make sure everyone knows it.
Tomáš:
Between the three, he's the one that took the longest to propose.
It's not for a lack of love, by the gods no. But he is someone that is way to used to losing people he loves. His life is unstable and unpredictable, there's a part of him that keeps saying he'll lose the man he loves as well. Why wouldn't he? He can never keep things.
He gets in on his head for quite a while before proposing. His thoughts go everywhere.
But he will come to terms with it and take the chance.
When he does, his proposal is heartfelt. He puts everything he feels about you in the best way he can and what he may lack in romance, he makes up in depth.
It's a vulnerable moment for him. He's putting everything on the table for you to chose and he's scared. Scared to be turned down and scared something will take you from him as well.
When you say yes (he deserves all the love) it's like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders. He loves you and you love him as well, he wants to live this.
He's a proud individual. He has come a long way and is daring. That to say everyone will know about it. He won't shut up about you. He likes to talk and he's beyond happy.
He's never going to share private subjects, but he sees no point in hiding the marriage. He knows he has many enemies and is very aware they may want to get between the two of you, but he leaves extremely clear he will have none of it.
Shang Tsung:
Where do I begin? Whatever the hell you did to have that man wanting to marry deserves an award.
He has been going for a long time fooling and backstabbing people, he may have thought about doing the same to you many times over, but whatever reason, he never did.
He isn't a stranger to temporary alliances, it's what he has been doing his whole life. But he found himself wanting to keep you.
What a curse. His very heart playing a trick on him.
He takes long before proposing. It takes him long to figure out what he feels is love and not just lust or convenience, not that those two aren't good as well.
When he does know what it is, he takes just as long to calculate the outcomes of it.
How would that impact his plans? How is he going about it? Who should know, if anyone? Do you love him? Truly?
He gets distant from you because he needs the time to think things through.
As for the proposal. I think that would be a quiet thing.
He does make it feel unique, he simply is fancy like that, but it's quiet and close, just the two of you. It's simple, but carefully thought out.
He's been lying for so long for so many people, it's difficult to be any different, but he tries.
He hates how it makes him feel vulnerable, like he was helpless once again.
Surely he could concoct some magic to guarantee your acceptance and he might if you decline him, but he decided to take the risk first.
When you say yes (oh boy, you better) you'll see a beautiful, honest smile on Shang Tsung's face, probably the first one after years.
He can't help his smile, he doesn't want to. He's in loved and he's been accepted by the man he loves. He feels on top of the world.
The rest of the day or night is solely for the two of you. You accepted to tie yourself to the snake, good luck taking him off of you.
He feels like an idiot. He could have saved himself so much anxiety and time if he came around it sooner, but at the same time, he wants to enjoy the moment.
He'll keep the marriage a secret for the time. He isn't ashamed, but he doesn't want anyone to know about it before he's in a position of power. Not even his allies will know before the time he decides to let them know.
Man, you're going to live like a god if he has his way. Shang Tsung has big plans for the both of you.

Guide to Studenten
Idk if anyone has done this because I haven't checked the tag, but anyways, here we go:
Swedish High School is three years of education, where you have a specific area of studies. I feel like perhaps someone has talked about this before, so let's not dwell on it.
There's usually countdowns, 250 days, 200 days, 100 days, 50 days, blah blah before where there are theme parties. You don't have to go to these, not everyone does, but the closer you get, there's more parties. The legal drinking age in Sweden is 18. However, you can't go out and buy your own at Systembolaget (the only alcohol company in Sweden) until you're 20. This doesn't really stop people, unsurprisingly.
The hats are the white ones they wore on the show, and back in the day it was very simple, something like this:
Tumblr media
however, nowadays there's a lot more design options. You can pic your own tinsel in the middle, many go for stones. There are specific colours for different programs, but most people don't care. You usually put your name on it, other things that are common: your class name, the year you graduated, some put their school, and at the back of the hat many put a little quote on the back. You can also customise the inside. Often you pick a few of these things and not all, because the hat costs a lot of money :3 I made my own really cheap tbh.
Mösspåtagning is a typical event where the students get to wear their hats. Because of covid, ours was combined with like a prom, but usually this happens before that, according to google, often outside or whatever.
There's a prom. But that's pretty normal.
Champagnefrukost or champagne-breakfast happens the day of studenten, where you go to one of your classmates houses, usually one who lives closest to the school, and have breakfast with your class. There you hand out the plates around the neck, aka the "class... [insert whatever, take clown as an example]. You drink, you eat, sometimes teachers will stop by. You get hyped with your class for the day.
Then you head to the school.
There's a photographer that takes a picture of the whole class and then individual portraits that you can later chose to purchase.
You meet with your mentors and say goodbye. They usually hand out a little scholarship thingy for the person with the best grade in the class. You write your name inside your classmates hats. My mentors held speeches based on Carola songs, it was pretty great.
Utspring - you're running out of the school. You've chosen the song/songs that you're running to, you dance around, sometimes there's choreography, to be greeted by family and friends. Because of covid this activity was limited, but traditionally it is fucking packed with people from all different programs, because the times are more stacked on top of each other.
Your parents greet you with a plaque of a baby picture of yourself, with your name and class-name. You take pictures, you get a bunch of stuff hanging around your neck like tiny champagne bottles, teddybears with their own graduation caps, whistles, other loud shit you can use at:
Flak - or flatbed according to translate is when you ride at the back of one with your class and blast loud music and dance around while it drives you around town. They're all in tow. There's a huge linen sheet on both sides that has been decorated with your class, consisting of the class name, the names of the people in the class and usually some funny quote or something. (I never got to do this because of covid)
After this you go home to greet family and stuff and celebrate however you want at home.
Then it's time to go out and partyyy. Usually you've booked a table at a specific event.
How do you fund this??? Well, over the three years of school you've built up a lot of money with your class through different fundraising methods. There's a service where you can sell cookies and another where you can sell clothes and shit.
There you go, it's not everything ofc, there are other traditions, and it's also important to note that not everyone does this. Not everyone goes out to drink, not everyone gets a flak, etc etc. But if we're talking very stereotypically here, that's the gist.
It's really fun (even if I had mine with a lot of covid-restrictions), and I hope this has given a bit of context to the new season of Young Royals (and probs the last episode where the graduation will be), and why they were so pissed to be missing out. (even if there are clearly specific school traditions that aren't custom for everyone).

{Maleficent with a s/o who brings home a stray kitten}
___________________________________________
A few words from author: Hi there everyone! Welcome to my newest imagines! ^^
Lately I've been pulled back into my old Disney villain fixation, and so I just couldn't help but create something Disney related - and there's a high chance that Disney villains content will be a part of my page now ^^".
Well anyways, this idea for imagines has been stuck with me for a good while and I really really wanted to write it down- like seriously- and the first villain I chose for these imagines is our fave dark fae Maleficent who I love so so so much (ෆ ^ ﹏^ ෆ⁠).
But no need to worry, I plan on writing this idea with other villains too, so chances are that your fave villains aren't gonna miss out on this scenario ^^.
Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy reading these! :3
-
Settings: Written as Romantic focused
Genre: Purely fluffy and wholesome I'd say ^^
!TRIGGER WARNING!: None as far as I can tell!
Sidenote: Reader is written as gender-nonspecified
-
Well, that should be all I needed to say, bunny-boos, feel free to read now ^^.
Hope y'all will enjoy~ <3
___________________________________________
♡。This may or may not come as a shocker, but Mal is actually pretty okay with pets.
♡。While it doesn't apply to all kinds of creatures, Mal does, in fact, enjoy the thought of having a little animal companion (like her precious Diablo). But it really depends on what type of animal it is.
♡。When it comes to kitties, you're in great luck, cuz Mal is much more of a cat person than she is a dog person. So, you're getting a free pass for bringing home a kitty as long as the kitten gets along with Diablo. ^^
♡。Though, actually, Mal really likes the idea of you having your own animal companion (like she has Diablo) and so, you probably might even get away with bringing home a pet of the kind that Mal isn't exactly fond of (⁠ʃ⁠ƪ⁠^ᵕ^).
♡。But that's a topic for another day (⁠ ^▽^ ⁠).
♡。Well, as I've already said, Mal has no problem with cats, and she approves of the idea of you having a pet. And what does that mean?
♡。That means that when you bring home the stray kitten with you, you're keeping it without a doouuubt!! \(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)/
♡。Like, Mal doesn't even protest or anything!
♡。She just frighteningly looms over you, watching as you stumble over your words in an attempt to explain why you brought the kitten with, only for her to answer with a simple "Well, alright then, you may keep it."
♡。And you're left standing there all shocked cuz- all of those intimidating glances and intense staring that got you trembling in your boots and then she just gives such plain reaction??
♡。Like- was she just messing with you or what??? And well, the answer is that... yeah, she probably did all that just to mess with you some... but only maybe... one can never really know for sure with Maleficent...
♡。Anyways- now you probably wanna know... how's Mal with the kitten?????
♡。Well, lemme tell you all about that, honey. Lemme pour the tea. (͡⁠°⁠‿⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)
♡。So, at first, Maleficent doesn't interact with the kitty much and mostly leaves that sort of thing to you. Not that she'd dislike the kitten, she just needs a moment or two to fully get used to it.
♡。Not to mention that Mal loves watching you interact with the kitty! She just finds it so endearing how you're caring for the little thing, how you're playing with it and gushing over it - It honestly makes her heart go: (⁠༎ຶ﹏ ⁠༎ຶ⁠)♡✧⁠*。(translation: she just melts).
♡。But eventually she does slowly start interacting with the kitten.
♡。Like, when the kitten wobbles up to her and asks for attention, she will acknowledge it and greet it with a: "Why hello there, {kitten's name}".
♡。And! Once Mal has completely warmed up to the kitty, she even kneels down to the kitty and pets it whenever it meows at her for attention! (⁠༎ຶ﹏ ⁠༎ຶ⁠)
♡。Oh, and speaking of the kitty's name, Maleficent respects whatever name you've chosen for the kitten and addresses it by the name. ^^
♡。Though, if the name is something... unusual... let's say something like "Prickles" or "Dirtbag", she might raise an eyebrow at the choice and she might think to herself that if the two of you ever have children, you, honey, are absolutely not getting to name them. Yeah... sorryyy(^▽ ^;⁠)
♡。Anyways! To spill more tea about their interactions! Mal actually may or may not have fallen in love with the kitten, and the kitten loves her just as much - sometimes you may be even wondering if it's your kitten anymore-
♡。Cuz like- once they're through the warming up phase, the kitty follows Maleficent everywhere! (And Mal lets the kitty follow her too)
♡。And it's either because it loves Mal so much, OR it's because of Mal's attire that she drags across the floor! Because the kitty loves to play with the ends of Mal's robes and constantly hops around after her, trying to catch it and tear it apart.
♡。And no, Mal has no issue with that, she actually encourages the kitten's playfulness and she very often kneels down to it and wiggles her long, slim fingers at the kitty to encourage it to play with her while she cackles. It's honestly so heartwarming to witness. <3
♡。Your kitten also likes to sit with Maleficent on her throne. Like, the little thing will come up to her throne, sit down and meow until Mal lets it join her at the throne. And most of the times she does pick it up and set it on the armrest that's currently not being taken by Diablo ( T﹏T).
♡。(Btw, don't worry, the kitten loves you just as much as it loves Maleficent, after all you're the first mama/papa/parent it had, so it's just as clingy with you <3)
♡。And now there's the question - what about Diablo? How does he handle the addition to the family?
♡。Well, at first he wasn't that happy about the kitten since 1. it was a cat, 2. he now had to share you and his mistress with that ball of fur.
♡。He was quite jealous at the beginning, but you and Mal made sure he was getting the same amount of attention and care as the kitten.
♡。And also, just a fun fact, Mal did tease Diablo about being jealous here and there, but only very subtly.
♡。Oh and Diablo did try to peck the kitten once with his beak, and he also did hiss at it and caw to intimidate the kitten a few times (but the kitten honestly gave 0 shits and if anything, it saw it as a game and hissed back and even tried to hit him with its paw).
♡。But then there was that one time when Diablo was getting comfortable on one spot and the kitten chose to bravely snuggle up to him and sleep. And that was it, Diablo was won over right at that moment.
♡。So, now the two are best friends, often found together with the kitty snuggled into Diablo while Diablo is covering it with his wing and looking out for possible dangers/disturbances <3.
♡。And you bet that when the kitty is big enough to handle his weight, Diablo is riding on the kitty's back if he doesn't feel like flying. :'3
♡。Oh and about the kitten and Diablo, both of them love snuggling up into you and napping which is something Maleficent adores to witness ( ^^) <3.
♡。It's just so endearing to find you, Diablo and the kitten all snuggled up together, breathing quietly with comfortable expressions on y'all's faces... One of Mal's favourite past times, in all honesty - AND ALSO, when it's especially cold in her castle, Maleficent likes to cover the three of you with a blanket (∩༎ຶ ﹏༎ຶ∩)~♡.
♡。Y'all are just so sweet and adorable together, I swear ( T﹏T).
♡。And well, I guess that's all I can share with y'all about this topic, folks ^^.
♡。Soooo, to sum it up somehow, you and Mal are a 10/10 couple with one ball of feather and one ball of fur for babies. ^^ <3

Hi! I was wondering if you had any favorite headcanons (made by you, or thought of by somebody else) about RoseGarden? There's a lot of things one can come up with for this sort of pairing, so I'm really curious about them.
I've seen some posts from others in passing, but can't tell you any one place to look for them specifically. I do invite anyone that sees this post to share any they have though!! As for me... ough where to start aha. oh wait an easy one
OSCAR FELL FIRST RUBY FELL HARDER AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
Bro literally said "woah" when he first met her and is Aware of just how Down Bad he's been this entire time. He's fine with it never being reciprocated though and doesn't want to pressure here. A very selfless love. Whereas I expect Ruby to get back from Total Trauma Island to a series of small "oh." moments that build up to a much bigger:
"Oh."
I like to think Ruby is demi-aroace. I can see her realization being an 'oh i have been a little bit in love with him this whole time' situation, but she just didn't realize because - like all her other feelings up to that point - she had been suppressing them. OR she looks back, acknowledges how much she's always cared for him and has a sort of "if it was ever going to be anyone, it was going to be you" moment. And in the face of all her loneliness and fear and grief she decides to 'trust love' and be a little bit selfish about this one thing.
aka just as Ruby chose adventure and adventure chose Oscar, Ruby chooses to love Oscar on purpose while he is sitting there like "I never had a choice but to love you. Okay this is getting long and less narratively focused so i'm gonna put it under a read more:
I like to think that Oscar doesn't stay a 'morning person' and instead becomes reallll grumpy if you wake him up too early, which Ruby does often cause she's always been an early riser. Meanwhile if Oscar manages to get Ruby to sleep for 'five more minutes', she turns into the grumpy one.
While still travelling together or working as huntsmen, Oscar always carries around some grab and go snacks that he knows Ruby likes cause she can sometimes forget to eat and giving her food is one of his love languages.
Tumblr media
Speaking of 'love languages', I know the system has some ~questionable~ origins, but I do like to think Ruby is more of a "physical touch & words of affirmation" girlie as opposed to Oscar who is more "acts of service & gift giving". They're about even when it comes to quality time together. Are happy to be very engaged in whatever activity they've chosen or just like enjoying the other's company while they're both doing their own things.
Sparring is one of their favourite things to do together, but they are also known to dance (slow or silly) in the kitchen while they're waiting for baked goods to come out of the oven.
Oscar isn't a fan of dogs after the Hound incident and Ruby isn't big on cats after the Ever After, so they either don't get pets or choose something a bit more adventurous. Like a bunny or a lizard. Maybe chickens.
Oscar is very affectionate once they're properly in a relationship and he doesn't have to hide how he feels, but the two of them are never 'loud' about it. It's always been a quiet, subtle, natural thing. Very balanced and good communication. Patience and understanding whenever the other needs it. And they almost never fight... until either of them is about to do something dangerous and Protection Mode is activated, in which case all bets are off.
This is all I can come up with for now. Thank you for giving me an excuse to ramble abt RG and for your patience in how long it took me to answer. And again to anyone that would like to share their headcanons, please do so!!

Ahhh a sadist reader my beloved 💞💞💞
Now I'm curious how would the devils react or do when the reader abandoned them for their home (aka the earth and minyheok)
Isn't that a little thought experiment? Well, it entirely depends on when and where such an event happens. You didn't say if it was a request or not, so I'm just going to assume you want my thoughts. And my thoughts you will get. It will be rambly and messy.
If it happens early on, where somehow the Reader was able to cast off this mark that was given to them Gabriel and just, left, it would be mayhem to say the least. Would certainly feel like a betrayal since the Reader abandoned them in their time of need and it would likely hit all the 72 devils that their Solomon is well and truly dead and that his good will towards them died in his body rather than passed down. Bonus points if the Reader lied and said they will help all of Hell out of a need for survival. They said what others wanted to hear them say so that the devils don't get even a hint of what they truly want to do and how much they hated being here. Some of the devils will likely understand your state of being, that you really can't be fault for the fact that you're related to Solomon, and that you had to shoulder all his left-over burdens that really shouldn't have belong to you in the first place.
Suddenly being hunted down, dragged into Hell and forced to help out the devils or die at the hands of the angels. And they expected you to just, have good will and kindness in your heart and understand that you will help because you care? They really are idiots in that case. Humans are humans. Very fleshy creatures that can easily and suddenly perish. Kindness should not be expected when it's at the expense of your safety and peace of mind.
It'll be a time of low morale and mourning. The victory of the angels is now assured.
Now if this were to happen after everything, after the war is won, the angels captured and after a king of hell has been chosen, it will still be a betrayal but of the lovesick kind. We all know that the devils can get stuck in their own delusions and interpretations and the kings over here really thought that you wanted to be with them romantically. They really thought themselves as worthy of being your husband and partner. They placed themselves in a position above Minhyeok and never once looked at him as a threat, because they assumed that they had better things to offer than this human ever could.
Basically, because they subconsciously look down on humans that aren't connected to Solomon, they never had a chance to begin with. The devil kings thought they did because you tolerated their presence and were willing to stick it out for the long run. Sure sure, they highly favor you, but you were not about to take the time and change these views that have been in them for hundred and hundreds of years. You have patience, but it is a human patience. And it doesn't help that if you want these views to be completely changed and have no chance of reseeding itself, you have to repeat this arduous process with every devil. It is... not worth it.
So when you leave, none of the devils understand why. The only thing they can chalk it up to is that you miss your home and you want to go back. And so they wait, because this place is surely your home too, so you must want to visit.
And so they wait. They wait. And they wait.
You don't come back.
Hell is thriving, of course it is, you chose a well suited king that won't let a kingdom fall just because they were abandoned by you.
Some might come after you, some might stay behind. Either way, none of them can ever attempt to bring you back.
(I know that canonically once you leave Hell, you're made to forget everything that there is about Hell, but let's be honest, that is not what's going to happen. The devils will pull some bullshit, or say that Solomon's blood somehow kept your memories or whatever. Either way, the devs cannot afford that downer ending because they do not have the writing skills to handle it well. Nor can they afford to disappoint their audience.)

How would Terry react if beloved wanted to have an abortion because she wasn't ready for a baby?
---
Oh, this man could be entirely pro-choice until it's his kid.
Privately, behind closed doors or in specially chosen, likeminded company, I see Terry Silver as a man who enjoys crude, juvenile locker-room humor. Humor concerning making lovers sign NDA's. Paying them to 'scrape it out' at a private gynecologists at private clinics, of course, at his beck, call and under his strict oversight, without such incidents needing to ever even take place because he's too careful to slip up, but hey --- he can joke about it. Contractually obligating them to take contraceptives he chose for them, for as long as he wants them to because 'Mr. Silver is very particular and doesn't enjoy unpredictable outcomes beyond his control'. He's very much cold as an iceberg, business-like and practical like that when he wants to be. Did I said he's pro-choice up there? Yeah. More like, the choices are whatever he says they are, especially if he isn't invested emotionally and sees someone as a temporary arrangement.
He's too smart to compromise himself.
Once the 80's and the 90's come to an end, and dark comedy of this variety doesn't fly as much as it used to decades prior --- and knowing that and strategically adapting to it like a chameleon, he might just pose himself into the other extreme of the political spectrum and present himself as a New Age Californian upper crust Liberal type that supports someone's and everyone's right to choose loud and proud when the situation calls for it because he's just that equitable and perfectly Democractic. Ain't he wonderful? The scheduled Vegan brunch at nine o'clock is there, clapping, collectively impressed and in awe of him while he pretends to be humble faced with their attentions. Don't you know Mr. Silver is an egalitarian saint who donated high-end medical equipment to several Planned Parenthoods across the State, renovating just as many urban hospitals this month alone?'
And then it's beloved who wants to visit one of said facilities --- oh, the irony.
Suddenly, the man who was making abortion and Vietnam baby killing jokes decades ago and snickering like a meanspirited little kid and then doing a 180 degree shift and possibly hypocritically advocating for human rights the very next decade to acquire the status of a social champion both disappear so something else can take their place; a man who absolutely won't compromise and does the exact opposite of everything he's been broadcasting all his life; he wants to keep the baby. Will keep the baby. Is baffled, angry, distraught and perturbed beloved ever considered not having it. And there's just about nothing anyone can do to dissuade him from ensuring his legacy comes into the World by any means necessary. He advocated choices. He joked around too. It was funny then --- now ow it ain't funny anymore. He stopped laughing. Oh, did he ever. All the choices but one dried over too.

i am so glad theres someone else who also thinks lmk executes its ideas and themes much better than toh. rip belos you will never be lady bone demon
TOH wasn't that strong in the themeing department in general (though I'm not well-versed in that show). I remember finishing the finale and being like....damn. What was the overall message of this show? ("Weirdos stick together" maybe?) Does toh have any consistent motifs or symbolism? If memory serves, not really?
Like, you rewatch episode 1x01 of LMK and MK goes "Well...I am invincible. *sigh* Anytime I try to do anything, I just gunk everything up!", and you're like. Woah. The Sun Wukong parallels are that strong from episode 1x01? Invincibility/Immortality and hurting the people you care about? No matter what you do, it leading to pain? Holy shit.
Contrast that with TOH where it's like, in episode 1x02 Luz learns she's not "the chosen one" and that the boiling isles are very different from the magical realms she imagined...which is kinda undone by the reveal that the Titan chose to show Luz the Glyphs. And while Titan Luz is very fun, it's not thematically sound—which is just kinda that whole show, you know? If you're not thinking about it that deep, then it's like "holy shit cool concept!" (which is totally valid of people), but if you do it's pretty empty. (Hi Hunter getting flapjack-based teleportation powers. What was the point of this.)
Which, I think this becomes super apparent with the Luz and Belos foil. Luz and Belos had a lot of interesting parallels (both of them being humans in the isles, each coming there wanting to fulfill a certain "role", for Luz being the "Great Witch Azura" and for Belos/Philip being a "Witch Hunter General", the whole "protecting the things you love" deal). And then, where does this all go?
It leads to Luz being told "no. You're the good guy and Belos is the bad guy! You could never be the same! Belos is motivated by his own 'need to be the hero'" (which was definitely what Luz was motivated by over the course of the show, even if it was more innocent, but whatever), and riding off of tdp s4's "In the name of love, you will do things so dangerous and vile—you will never be able to forgive yourself" and the lmk s3's "to pain" scene, it fell really flat for me—like it's not bad, it's just really mid.
(Post where I go on a rant about Luz's s3 arc being kinda lame)
And then, you have the LBD & MK foil. You have MK's s4 arc. The "to pain" scene is such a unique "you and I are not so different" moment—but it's also relevant to the whole show. And LBD is right, doing what you think is right does lead to pain. Like, even looking at MK's journey over the seasons, every action has had it's consequences.
Saving Pigsy and Tang in 1x04? Spider Queen snagged MK's hair and that let her dominate the city later. Stopping DBK in 1x10? That freed LBD. Stopping SQ in ROTSQ? That gave LBD access to the trigram furnace. MK trying to gain more power in s2? Well, "Now do you understand? From the start you never had what it took to defeat me. All your power could do was make me stronger." SWK leaving in s2? "You're the one always running off, trying to get more power or more sources of immortality." Trying to get the Samadhi fire in s3? Opps, now Mei has this uncontrollable flame within her. Monkey King running off to fight LBD alone so MK doesn't have to? He get's possessed. Freeing SWK from possession? Now LBD has the power to fulfill destiny. Attempting to free your friends from the scroll? Now Peng and Azure are also free. Trying to get SWK back? His scroll piece has been split in half. Stopping Azure from destroying all of reality? Now the Jade Emperor's power is without a host, flower fruit mountain is destroyed, and you can't help but feel they played into the puppet master's hands.
It's thematically consistent and banging. Like....anytime they try to do anything, they just gunk everything up. Like....sometimes you hurt the people who care about you the most. Like....whether you want to help people or not, everything you do can just make things worse.
AND MAYBE. Just maybe, you can also leave the world a little better than you found it. The pain that's been caused doesn't undo the good that's been done. And I guess I think that's more interesting that just like..."no! you're intent was good and theirs was bad!", you know?

ok so its been a couple weeks how do u feel about totk zelink now
(context: here is part 1 of the ask, and also SPOILERS AHEAD!)
For reference, I am currently done with the dragon tears and sages questlines, but still haven't finished the Kogha one. Whatever happens after this point, I have no idea, I'm chilling and doing side quests and leveling up.
There is a difficult line to draw between "this is what the game is saying" and "this is what I am projecting onto it", but to me, this game is about how well Link knows Zelda. BotW was about trying to remember her and why she mattered, and TotK is about trying to figure out her plans and what she was trying to tell you, as she is no longer able to guide you the way she did in BotW. It's listening to what people are saying about her and deciding if it sounds like Zelda or not. It is beautiful, and shows how close the two of them are now! BUT. It would have worked even better if we saw traces of their relationship in the plot. This is a three-pronged feature: 1) In the main quest everyone calls Link "Zelda's swordsman" or "Zelda's chosen protector" and are surprised when they see him without her, but the NPCs STILL don't mention him. The way I almost screamed when I stumbled upon that Lurelin NPC who is like "oh yeah the princess would disguise herself and go on vacation and hike up to the Lover's Pond at sunset!" and I was READY to hear about the person accompanying her. But there was no one. Zelda was alone as far as this guy was concerned. Like pls. 2) Link should have revealed his thoughts on the mystery of Zelda's identity for this theme to work, at least by being the one to figure out the Zelda prancing around Hyrule is an impostor. In fact, the way they didn't try to incorporate the tears quest into the main storyline is pretty disappointing - sorry but Link would NOT just ignore knowing where Zelda is. They should have hidden the last few memories until you're done with the fifth temple to make sure he doesn't look like an idiot. 3) We are STILL in the "Link doesn't react properly to Zelda" era. I'm not even talking about animation, I would have settled for a "Don't look so concerned, we will figure it out!" or a "I know you wish to bring her back right away, but leave the research to me and focus on beating Ganon first!" from Impa at the end of the tears quest. Sure, I choose to interpret his mad dash through Hyrule Castle to get to the sanctum Ganon fight as him completely forgetting any caution or reason in his desperation to get to her, but is that really it? EVERYONE ELSE cares so so much about Zelda as a person instead of a princess, they are constantly talking about her, so Link could have gotten some moments of that too. I'm glad the game stated that Link's duty ended with the Calamity and he CHOSE to stay with Zelda, so it's not that he only cares because he has to, but I wish it was shown outside that one line in a secret diary.
In conclusion, I still stand by my previous claim: Skyward Sword did this same dynamic better, so if I hadn't played that game I might have been elated over this one, but alas. I am still hoping for an earth-shattering emotional moment towards the end of the game that is gonna render all my complaints wrong, I haven't lost hope, but wow my imagination is working overtime to keep me happy
