#it's okay claudia i forgive u

[cvntdracvla]

Ok sooooo ummmm penny for your thoughts on all this???

okay hello! hi this shits All Over the place so forgive me for this mess

sooo we all knew what we were getting ourselves into right. we knew what this was. a toxic relationship between Vampires. not ur run of the mill romcom. a gothic romance. this is a regular sunday for gothic romance enjoyers lol

lestat punched through a mans HEAD in the first episode & then turned around n gave a Beautiful heart touching speach ab how much he loves louis. hes has never shied away from violence. they r vampires. they feed on ppls blood n kill to survive so why is this such a big suprise to everybody ???

yeah i was suprised they would go there n really lean into the gothic part. but this is not a relationship between two men. they have supernatural abilities, speed, strength etc. n can do all kinds of shit. this is not exactly a shocker now is it ???

louis has self-admitedly been poking n proding lestat. constantly reminding him of claudia, being cruel to him n ignoring him. lestats love is all consuming, encompasing. hes a hedonist who lives to indulge himself. n they have been baricading in the town house for 7 long years. louis wouldnt even speak to him, has been feeding on animals so u can imagine what kinda company he was for lestat whos longing to be loved n to feel his love. ppl have been saying that there are "two brothers" living in their house. am i justifiying lestat beating louis to a pulp ??? no. but he did have his reasons to snap.

claudia has been Real stupid w her kills, acting like a child, which she only looks like n has not been for a while. n when lestat has to deal w louis n claudia constantly moping around screaming ??? i would have been a bigger bitch than him. he only made her a vampire on louis request, nay Begging. he never wanted to be a father and honestly cant blame him. its not just family drama n nuisance now police r lichrally Monitoring them. n then claudia blames him for everything n somehow louis is absolved of his crimes cuz they have a special connection lestat n her dont. his parenting is sadistic but on the other hand, louis' is too human. when none of them are humans anymore and the human rules no longer apply.

so she goes out into the world, sees that independence is not All That its cracked up to be and then comes back to take louis from lestat ??? n now lestats panicking cuz he sees how louis suffered & longer for her & suddenly shes asking him to chose between him and her. so hes reasonably affraid that louis will leave him for her. especially after the downfall of their relationship cuz its been Rough babygirl.

and then they start speaking w thier minds n he goes crazy cuz he could never do that w them. so hes helpless n resorts to violence. backed into a corner so what r u gonna do? when claudia says "let him go. its me you want." n its like No baby its exactly the opposite. he only wanted louis for himself. he never wanted tou and he never wanted to share his love and he says it himself.

and THEN he hits us w "i have waited... i have patiently waited in vain... for you to love me... as i love you" he basically said reject me so i can move on lol.

also "all vampires are created from trauma" when u think ab the way lestat has been created........ hits different

so TLDR what im saying lestat is a cunt but not for no reason. emotional abuse can hurt just as bad as physical can and when its all said and done they All have their fucking problems (lestat most lets be real), but thats why we love them n thats why i tune in for the fucking drama & the poetry & beauty & horror this show gives me. they understand love is pain, its complicated and its all consuming etc etc

#also bailey jacob & sam are fucking MAGNIFICENT in this #ask #the interview with the vampire #iwtv amc

[uss-protostar]

love how claudia has like. 20 sentences in electri_city and she manages to use the word transgender instead of cross dresser in there. iconic

#love her anyway #it's okay claudia i forgive u #'...of [tina schneider esleben and thomas dinger] dressed up #made up and posing in a transgender look' #ok boomer /j

Okay but LISTEN!!!

Your enneagram edits have me THINKING. (I don't know much about the enneagram types themselves, but I do know Sleeping At Last. And now my brain is going haywire assigning each of the enneagram songs to different characters (including some I normally don't even think about!))

Soren - One and/or Nine (But the list goes on forever Of all the ways I could be better, in my mind As if I could earn G-d's favor given time Or at least "congratulations"...) (It looks like empathy To understand all sides But I’m just trying to find myself Through someone else’s eyes So show me what to do To restart this heart of mine How do I forgive myself For losing so much time?)

Janai (who I never ever think about BUT) - Three (Maybe I've done enough And your golden child grew up Maybe this trophy isn't real love And with or without it I'm good enough Maybe I've done enough Finally catching up For the first time I see an image of my brokenness Utterly worthy of love Maybe I've done enough)

Kasef (who I also don't normally think about except when you make me FEEL things) - Four (In this game of hide and seek I can't help but think that ordinary has swallowed the key Bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust For a moment we get to be glorious Ice sculptures adorned in light Sand castles built tall in between the tides)

Amaya - Five (I'm hypnotized by this anomaly Such strange uncharted territory A white flag waves in the dark between my head and my heart My armor falls apart As if I could let myself be seen, even deeply known Like I was already brave enough to let go)

Claudia - Seven (OBVIOUSLY) (How wonderful to see a smile on your face It costs farewell tears for a welcome-home parade A secret handshake between me and my one life: I'll find the silver lining no matter what the price)

Aanya (my beloved daughter) - Eight (I’ll shake the ground with all my might I will pull my whole heart up to the surface For the innocent, for the vulnerable I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose And I’ll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat— An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken I’m shattered porcelain, glued back together again Invincible like I've never been)

Thank you!! I'm excited it's getting you to think about all sorts of different characters and Sleeping At Last's amazing repertoire of music! I did an enneagram deep dive when the songs came out, so when it came to picking out characters to match, I went with the type and lyrics. For ex, I actually associated Claudia as a Five and Soren as a three for the reasons outlined below, as Fives are

Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. They typically have problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new way.

and Threes are

Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best: self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to be—role models who inspire others.

I'm tempted to put Aanya as a One, but I leaned more towards the main cast in my categorizing of enneagrams. If I find other lyrics I haven't already done from the songs I may extend to more side characters, but for now the ones lined up are Harrow, Viren, Ezran, Ellis, Claudia, Soren, and Runaan (one for each type, more or less).

I am always here for more Kasef and Janai love! Kasef in particular is one of my under appreciated faves <3

#enneagram #thanks for asking #ljf613 #i feel like while callum & claudia both love learning about magic #claudia is much more of a homebody and callum is more adventurous #so i considered seven for him #even if callum is more 'magic is something i can Use' in some ways than claudia is

∘₊✧ ─ ✧₊∘ ➵ @magslikesmusicals​ said; POPPY!!!!! what are your takes on the ith characters and their best subjects at school?

okay so you’ll have to forgive me bc i dropped out of school and also went to a shitty australian public school so my knowledge on classes is limited but here we go

nina - legal studies / politics would’ve been where she excelled ( she’s always showed a passion for activism and for human rights ), but economics was probably her second best subject, especially since she helped her dad manage the business. math third best, for similar reasons. she struggles with arty subjects.

vanessa - art and textiles / fashion design ( idk, we had fashion design at my school ), for obvious reasons vanessa excels at the creative subjects.

carla - art, 100% !! i don’t really imagine her being a full on artist like vanessa but she definitely has fun with it and she’s technically skilled, which helps w her being good at nails + makeup. although i hc that carla didn’t finish highschool bc who needs it. also i hc carla with adhd so anything that isn’t creative is hard for her.

daniela - daniela it’s hard to say bc she was definitely good at everything in high school + i also have no idea what subjects were a thing when she was in school lmfao, but i think like kevin she ended up leaving school early for work. luckily it paid off for her !! ( she probably excelled in textiles for some reason. ) 

sonny - excels in legal studies and politics because having nina as a babysitter was really insightful, and he is super good at cooking !! he’d be good at english if he wasn’t dyslexic. nox + i have a headcanon that sonny actually makes most of the coffee at the bodega bc usnavi is very average at it ( as seen when sonny makes vanessa’s coffee as usnavi is busy trying to catch her attention ghkjghdfk )

pete - obviously art classes, though his grades on paper probably aren’t great because he probably thinks outside the box and doesn’t limit himself to what the teachers want him to do ( and he’s probably the best artist in his class. ) 

usnavi - he’s average at everything, not in a bad way, but his best subject was english - mostly when it came to fiction and storytelling. it didn’t reflect on his overall grades though because he’s not great with non-fiction english and being writing critically. 

benny - excelled in english and economics. he’s actually quite smart but his grades don’t show it because he’s the kind of person who doesn’t completely thrive within a classroom envrionment, you know ?? he also has adhd, which hinders him, but like i said, he’s quite smart.

kevin - business and economics if they were,,, a thing when he was in school lmao. 

claudia - abuela didn’t go to school in america as far as i know, considering she could barely right her own name. but abuela had a special kind of wisdom. 

bonus !! cuca - cuca’s grades were suspiciously good. she’s very street smart, but with bribery she managed to get other people to do her homework for most of her life, and u bet she found some way to cheat the exams.

[straighttohellbuddy]

for the questions- i wanna hear abt if u have OCs 🥺

quite literally far too many

i don't have any active OCs for any YouTube fics, and forgive me for not pulling out my 2014 British Vlogger OC, so i think im going to move on. most of my longer stuff is actually OC fics, so here's a VERY brief list of the ones that I think about at least once a week, or have actually finished their fic;

Tasha (TMR)

Won Hye-Sung (Mortal Kombat 2021)

Oh (6 Underground)

Aoibheal Cassidy (X-Men)

Connie Lee (Jumanji)

Mags (TDM)

Bambi Hall (The 100)

It Maria Stark (Marvel)

and OKAY HERE WE GO i write for classic rock, and my two biggest fics are for Queen and Motley Crue and there are gigantic worlds attached to both these gals

Keola 'Lola' Fields Gone - Motley Crue - run to paradise is her main story, it's currently at 100k, and ongoing, while the side-fics i've written bring the total to about 200k, including AUs. she's an absolute bastard, like the rest of the band, and i would die for her. she's poly and bi and has my heart. if you read her fic, please heed the warning in the tags.

she also has 4 kids who i think about far too often;

Jupiter Lee - nb musician in their own right, had a kind of rough childhood and is learning to deal with the trauma they've faced because of their parents lifestyles and is attempting to rebuild their relationship with their mother

Leo 'Seo' Sixx - professional skateboarder with ADHD who is legally blind. his face has only been seen by the public properly ONCE. very very chill dude.

Cerie Sixx - youtuber and psychology major who would absolutely be voted 'most likely to succeed', a real sweetheart.

Cyrus Sixx - Cerie's twin brother, chaos gremlin, professional bartender, amateur music producer. lives his life to antagonise jupiter.

and then, with Queen, we have My Queen Ash Clarke Mercury from ask your destiny to dance. 48k currently for the main fic 110k altogether. seamstress and art lover, she was essentially chased out of her home town in Scotland and came to England to get a fresh start, and goes on to work as Queen's costume designer. considers Freddie to be her brother, and is bi as fuck.

she also has 3 kids whom i would die for;

Astrid Taylor - five-foot-one smooth talking lesbian mechanic who moonlights as a stunt driver and lives her life in jean shorts and band t-shirts. an outrageous flirt who has a known habit of befriending pretty blonde male actors, which her siblings refer to as her 'harem of blonde boys', though it should be noted that it's not on purpose, she's not clout chasing, its just that their interest end up aligning, and she is unwaveringly loyal and would do anything for her friends.

Cate Taylor - middle child, has a masters in PR and works as Queen's social media coordinator. can speak 5 languages, has a young daughter named Claudia, and is a recovering alcoholic. used to be a lot wilder when she was younger.

Barney Sun-Taylor - the baby of the family who is also over six feet tall. he's an actor known for his bit-parts in film and television, and is arguably one of the most well connected people in the industry. he's married to a nb makeup artist, who works on films, but also has a youtube channel, Mickey Sun (their channel name is SunTeaMick). he also doesn't drink but he's very good at making cocktails.

i know this isn't yt related but i could literally infodump about Lola and/or Ash for hours i love them so much

#your local homosexual with no chill

[bigfan-fanfic]

How about a fluff alphabet for soren from the dragon prince?

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Soren loves to eat with you. He doesn’t get a whole lot of time off as a Crownguard, so he uses his scheduled food breaks as a chance to be with you.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

He loves your personality. He loves the way you walk, the way you wear your hair, the way you smile at him. He loves you so much and thinks you are the most beautiful thing in Katolis. No, in the whole world!

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

He wants to cheer you up, so he’ll try some jokes. He’ll ask if you want to sit on him while he does push ups, or have him carry you.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Somewhere nice. Living together, maybe a little kid to raise. Claudia lives nearby, infuriating but present, and there’s no impending war or doom. Just peace. Peace.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Soren is actually rather passive. Though he sometimes feels like taking control, he second guesses himself too much to make many moves.

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

Soren doesn’t want to fight with you, and probably only would if you did something pretty much unequivocally wrong.

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Soren thanks you every day for being with him through sweet kisses, devoted looks, and strong hugs.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He shares everything with you. Soren has decided he is done with lies.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

You help Soren grow more confident in himself, more sure. And he provides you with someone who cares deeply about you.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Soren doesn’t tend to get jealous. He thinks that you could be with a hundred different people at once, and he’d still just be grateful to be one of them.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Soren isn’t particularly good technique-wise, but the goodness comes from the feeling he gives you, like he lets everything go to be with you in the moment. It took your breath away the first time, and it still does.

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

“H-hey, Y/N. You know how people say, ‘if you like it so much, why don’t you marry it?’ Well, that’s how I feel about you. Not that we should get married! Not that I wouldn’t want to! It’s just - agh, Claudia told me I shouldn’t try to joke! I love you, okay?”

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

He would like to get married, but he wants it to be your decision, so he’ll wait for you to propose.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

He usually just uses your name, or some cutesy variation thereof.

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

Soren flexes a lot more to try and keep your attention, and is constantly worrying about you to his friends. “Do you think Y/N likes me?” “What do you think Y/N’s up to right now?”

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

Soren is proud to be your boyfriend, and brags about you. He also has no concerns about PDA, just loving to kiss you whenever.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Soren is really good at picking food. He tends to pick whatever you’re craving, and he loves to eat with you, sharing dishes and sides.

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He’s a romantic who’d do anything for your happiness.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Soren is your biggest cheerleader and defender. Literally. He has a sword and a shield and he will defend you if you need it.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Soren likes stability and comfort. Eating a meal with you once a day. Snuggling to bed. Going to a certain restaurant on Saturday mornings where they know your order by heart. Holding hands as much as possible.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Soren will need to be guided as to your emotions. He’s an open book, and constantly cheery, but he doesn’t do so hot with sarcasm or innuendo.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

It’s worth everything. He loves you more than life itself.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Soren will try to keep anything you give him on his person until it is impossible. You picked a flower for him and he fixed it to his armor as a decoration. Until it dried up. But that just gives you the chance to give him more.

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Soren is a cuddler and a kisser and a hugger. He loves showing you affection.

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

He sighs and gets distracted thinking of you. A lot.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He loves making big gestures, like carrying you across town or searching all over Katolis for a present for you.

LESTAT

Lestat you bitch I love you

NOW The End

In Conclusion: Movie was much different than what I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed it. There were some parts where I was worried this would be a terrible watch, but that was mostly in the beginning. Things got better after Claudia was introduced, though there were some good moments before that point. I’m glad I finally got around to watching it! And I will not be watching the second one! Because, no :D

#mrow #interview with the vampire #iwtv #reaction #movie reaction #ngl i would kill for a movie of the three of them being domestic and happy #i like happiness yall #and they seemed so happy

[malcolmbrights-a]

TITLE: Everything I Wanted WHO: Claudia Daviau & Alex Reeves RATING: pg FOR: @ravenpufff​ / @engeljjk​ & tagging @infinitelonging​ since she likes this dumpster fire NOTES: Alex proposes and Claudia says nooooo lol

  Claudia knew something was up when Alex booked an entire room at her favorite restaurant, brought her a bouquet of her favorite flowers - white lilies and white roses - and bought her a night at the penthouse suite at her family’s hotel. He didn’t usually do stuff like that unless he received a promotion or something exciting happened to her. Special gifts like this were saved for special occasions and were rare, and nothing had happened that would bring on a celebration on this level. Claudia thought long and hard about what could possibly be going on. Maybe he did get a promotion, after all? Or maybe he discovered good news related to either of them? He could’ve also decided that they finally move in together. She never assumed he’d propose to her. 

So when he got on one knee, while she slurped a noodle, her face turned a bright red as she chewed. Then she swallowed her noodle and grinned widely, ready to say yes, until she began to doubt their entire relationship. It had started pretty rough when they were younger and he hadn’t been very nice to her. She was usually the one asking for attention, while he didn’t give it to her unless she bugged and bugged about it. Then, when they were younger, they would fight and fight and fight, until both of them ended up hurting the other’s feelings. 

They had grown a lot since their college years, going different places in life for a while and growing apart as both of them took jobs in different parts of the country. But then they met again at a gala he’d been attending. And while their sass and sarcasm still existed, when they began to talk gain, there was an air of loyalty, and in Claudia’s perspective, trust, even. They could actually tolerate being around each other and Claudia actually visited him often. They then continued to talk for years, but he always acted like marriage wasn’t his thing and like she should be lucky that he was willing to be exclusive with her. With that in mind, Claudia began to grow nervous - her lips twitching slightly as she looked at him, her huge grin turning into a frown. She had been treated quite harshly in the past and her thoughts were clouded with that thought when she looked at him as he waited for her to respond. 

“No,” she replied, covering her mouth as tears began to stream down her eyes. Claudia didn’t mean to cry, and she hated Alex seeing her cry, but she was so angry with herself for saying no, that the tears just began to roll down her cheeks like a fast waterfall.

Alex blinked hard and his head jerked back before he closed the ring case. He then reached for a her hand in a way that didn’t seem very sincere to Claudia, and like something he’d do when he tried to sucker her into forgiving him on days where she was furious with him. “Why not?” he asked, as she moved her hand away from his and took a step back, not wanting to fall for the act, if it was an act or not. Because sometimes he was a good actor. “You’ve been talking about this for years. I thought you would be jumping for joy. Did I pick the wrong way to do it? Did you want a fucking marching band or something?” He scoffed some, making her question even more if it was an act. “I’m a good guy, so I don’t understand why you’d say no.”

Since they’d known each other for so long, she thought he deserved a response, so she walked over to their table and gestured for him to sit down. Surprisingly he did, sitting beside her, but giving her space. “I don’t know if I’ll be happy with you. Marriage has always been something I’ve seen myself doing with my best friend. I never cared about being loved in the disturbing hallmark way that Ari has with Jo. But I’ve always wanted to be liked. I think that’s more important than anything. But I don’t even know if you like me? And worse - I have no idea if you’ll cheat on me or leave me for out of the blue,” she admitted to him, her trust issues probably being the main reason why she was so fucking against this in this moment - people had left her in the past, and she hated the idea of someone she’s married to leaving her. 

Alex huffed out and then began to massage his temples. He looked a little frustrated but she really couldn’t blame him, since she had just said no to his proposal. “Honestly, Cloud,” he said, the annoyance in his voice alerting her that he was bothered, even though he used the nickname he only used when he wanted to fuck her. “If i didn't like you, i wouldn't ask you to marry me...unless marrying u gave me a bigger dick or something." He shrugged his shoulders and looked her with all seriousness. “Marriage is serious to me. I swear to God, you can fucking murder me in cold blood if I cheated you, because marriage is an institution to me.” There was a drawl to his voice when he said institution and that made Claudia swallow and then sniff.  “It’s serious shit. And again, I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t like you. You think you’re the only person here who doesn’t want to be stuck with someone who would make them fucking miserable their whole life?” 

Claudia sniffed, taking in all of what he was saying, suddenly regretting saying no. “Good, because I want to be liked and respected. So I expect not to be treated like shit. I want to work with you and not against you. I want to be a fucking team, do you understand? That’s what is important to me. Marriage is about being a team.” And while to some people marriage is all about finding love or whatever, to Claudia it was about teamwork. Sure she loved Alex in her own weird way, but like, he was never going to hear that from her. Ever. Also, she wasn’t with him due to lovey-dovey shit to begin with. She just liked being around him for dumbass reason she couldn’t decide on, and she liked their weird as fuck relationship that didn’t make sense at fucking all. 

“”We can be a team, sure.” He replied looking at her with exasperation. 

“Alright then.” Claudia said calmly before she got on one knee in front of him. “Alexander Reeves, will you marry me?” Her eyebrow perched and he looked at her with confusion. “I know I said no to you, but I do want to marry you…I guess?” She smirked playfully. “So what do you say?”

He paused and stroked under his chin, looking down at her for a while. He then smiled a really really really really small smile, shrugged with his hand, and then said, “Yes. I’ll marry you, Claudia.” 

Claudia grinned again before getting up. She hugged him, his body tensing up, probably adverse to the action since it was a surprise and she hadn’t asked to hug him. When Claudia released him, she took a step back and sat on his lap, looking up at him with mischief. “Hope you know I’m going to be a fucking bridezilla.” 

He rolled his eyes. “I would be surprised if you weren’t, you fucking brat.” 

Claudia bit her lip. “Alright, asshole. Just know me being a bridezilla means you’re going to be stuck with me your whole life. You’re going to be stuck with a fucking brat your whole life.”

He sighed heavily. “Okay. Whatever. Lets eat before the food gets cold.”

“FIne...fine...but when you want to strangle me in old age, just remember you proposed first.”

WHEN: february 16th

TRIGGER WARNINGS: sex mention, drug mention, honestly if cil is involved there’s some warnings. TW: KILLAIN KELLY

@cilliankelly

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

Claudia reached out to me. To apologize, and well, I don't know if she's spoken to you but she let me know that she's a week clean. Hope it sticks.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i've talked to her, yeah...

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I didn't like. Outright give her my forgiveness, but I told her she can earn it. So. That's a step in the right direction?

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

you're more open to the idea than jude is.

he wants to cut her out entirely this time.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I mean, if that's what's going to be healthy for him, I support it.

For me, idk, I feel bad about not taking into account that she has a disease. She didn't choose this.

And I guess. I don't know. I want to give her a chance to do good for herself. If she fucks up again though...I'm bowing out. You can't help someone who doesn't want it.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i feel the same. i mean, she's my friend you know? but it's... it's complicated.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

You have to do what's going to be safe and healthy for you.

Whatever that looks like.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

it's not really about me. it's jude.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

Yeah, but she kind of wreaked havoc on both of your lives, you know? It affected you, too.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

it did, i know... but i mean... i want to support her, okay? she asked me to come to an NA meeting with her and i agreed. but me being involved with claudia at all... it bothers him.

we're not talking about it right now. he said he was going to therapy this week and maybe we could talk through it then.

it's just complicated.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

That sounds like the right way to handle it. For him to, you know, talk to someone completely outside of it first.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

yeah. and i mean the whole therapy thing... if it works for him then that's great. i just... it sucks. this whole situation.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I know. I feel for you both. I'd talk to him about it, but I don't want him to get upset about it all over again. Sometimes I feel like some shit is better left to his therapist.

He gave me the number of his therapist so that I can call and get referred to someone in my network...because I know I need some fucking help. But I haven't called yet. Idk.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

that's probably a good idea. i wouldn't mention claudia to him at all right now.

i still don't really know how i feel about the whole therapy thing. i want to believe that maybe it works but i don't know. i tried it once and that fucking failed so.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

All I know is that when I'm having sex, I'm not thinking about whatever's bugging me. So maybe I don't need it, maybe I just need to keep going out at night.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i mean that sounds better than therapy to me

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

Yeah like??? Whatever it's coping and I'm good at it.

Fuck report is gonna look dope this week.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i need an outlet. other than smashing things. though that it a helluva lot of fun

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

i mean there are those places where you can literally go there for the purpose of smashing things.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

but what's the fun in that?

controlled smashing?

fuck that

it defeats the purpose

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

i think it's only controlled in the sense that you have goggles on.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i don't want someone to give me permission to smash things, rae.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

maybe if you pay extra they'll yell at you to stop

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

that's another thing

why would i pay for something i can do for free?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

decent point.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i feel like maybe if i could make something. that would be... something. but what?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

Like something artsy?

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

it's stupid, right?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

no i don't think so at all. i actually have a few ideas i think?

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

like what?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I know that they sometimes have these cool events where they get a group of people together to do a painting. You bring a friend and your own wine and just chill and paint, and when you're done you have art to take home with you.

I walked by one awhile ago, they were painting the building from the office.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i dunno rae...

painting??

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

It can be fun, I mean, I haven't done it in forever, but art class was always really chill? Plus, a lot of these people are amateurs and just there to drink and hang out, so our pictures won't look that bad, and even if they do, i'll give you mine to hang in your place and you can give me yours lmao

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

the drinking part doesn't sound bad. does it have to be wine? can i bring fireball instead?

also i'm only going if you can somehow convince jude to go.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I have no idea actually? I guess you could probably fill one of my empty wine bottles with fireball. No one would notice.

omg, but you know he'd never.

not unless you really really wanted to.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

awwwwww bummer. guess that idea's shot, then.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

hey it's either that or color me mine

or pottery making without any alcohol

or adult coloring books at rae's house

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

at least with pottery i'd have something to break afterwards.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

cill NO

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

what?? it's my pot, i can do what i want with it.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

you fucking chaos human

i'll talk to J.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

even if he says yes, i'm STILL a maybe

cause we're gay, but we're not that gay.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

i'm doing you a favor!!!

how did this become about me!!

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

when you suggested PAINTING raelynn.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

WELL NOW POTTERY IS OFF THE TABLE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO SMASH IT

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i will continue to do what i WANT, thank you

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

idk who u think ur talking to i am still the big sister here

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

your pottery is next on the smashing block.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

We're not doing pottery!!!!

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

fine, then your painting is next on the BONFIRE, how do you like that?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO DO ART CILLIAN

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i said i wanted to MAKE something that could be ANYTHING

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

oh my GOD

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i could be making a damn SMOOTHIE

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A SMOOTHIE????

also Jude said he'll try anything twice.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

wait he actually said yes?

to the painting thing?????

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I think so, I'm getting confirmation

I checked to see what events they have this week and apparently on Friday there's a glow in the dark type of thing?

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲BOT02/17/2021

oh my god.

i can't believe this.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

we're not bringing fireball because a little birdy told me it makes you horny.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i—

fine.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

this will be cool though!!

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

will it, raemond? will it?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

That's Mr. Raemond to you

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

fine, SIR.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

that's better.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i still can’t believe you talked jude into this. what did you say to him?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

All I said was that I think it'd be good for you, and probably for all of us bc it's been a shit storm couple of weeks. months. years.

And he knows that you'd only go if he wanted to go, too.

The kid will do anything for you. Can't wait to officiate your wedding aka the only valid wedding that will ever happen.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

oh my god. you’re the second person to say something about us getting married.

can you honestly see either of us getting married? like ever?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

i never used to think that jude would. but like, idk, i've never seen two people more right than you guys.

even when i still was like....the kind of person who fell in love, like even at my MOST in love, I was never as in love as Jude is with you.

I think maybe he always did even if he didn't know.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

don’t go all mushy on me rae, i will vomit.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I'm not mushy I have no heart

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

fine then, don’t make ME get all mushy.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

basically love outside of the familial and platonic is a chemical con job and the validity is questionable at best, but i have never questioned the two of you, and coming from me, that's like, a certificate of authenticity.

i should make one and print it out and frame it for your anniversary

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i’ll be sure to hang it up.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

it might be more valid than a marriage license.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i do love him. more than i ever thought i could love anyone. he’s the only thing that makes sense to me, you know?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

i don't know if i know what it's like in the romantic sense, i mean, not anymore.

but in other senses, i mean, yeah.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

i don’t know what i would have done without you guys. jude especially but you too. and gran.

okay that’s enough of that. no more sap.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

i was literally about to tell you to shut up bc i'm literally out in public rn

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

oh? you are?

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

just got done work, grabbing some water before I go get my stuff

okay water and a shot.

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

in that case i LOVE you raemond, i don’t know what i’d do WITHOUT you, i don’t want to imagine a world that doesn’t have YOU in it, my heart is so FULL of love for YOU.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I hat eyou and I'm going to kill you and eat you for lunch

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

I'm getting picked up in a car so I can go get piped by three dudes.

So this is everything

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

three dudes?

damn, rae.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

Living THE BEST life

𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲

have fun. i expect a full review later.

𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟

If it's newsworthy I'll let ya know

Auradon U. Ch 4

Link to full story. 
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12595606/4/Auradon-U 
Chapter 4

When Jay arrived at Claudia’s dorm, he realized she wasn’t there. She could’ve been anywhere, so he decided to text her. Jay: Claudia. Please, we need to talk. I didn’t mean for this to happen… we really need to straighten somethings out. Where are you? “Come on. Respond.” Jay says aloud. Perched on a bench outside her dorm, he didn’t know what to do at this point. He broke Luxie’s trust. And if we’re being honest, he broke Claudia’s too. The son of Jafar was stuck. He didn’t know what part of the situation who should try to mend first. There’s nothing else that he wanted to do more than to run back to Lux. However, with Claudia looming in their path, he had no one to blame but himself. He knew Lux wouldn’t go any further with him. His phone vibrating interrupted his thoughts.

*Notification: Text from Claudia* Claudia: I’m fine. Truly. 
Jay: cmon Dia. Where are you? We have to talk in person.
Claudia: I’m in the library.
Jay: I’m otw! Jay sprints to the school’s library. Meanwhile, Claudia had just finished her letter to her pal. Jay would regret what he had done, but she had to play a part till her moment of revenge. Drying her eyes and straightened her shoulders, she resolved to appear as unbothered as possible. “Shit Claudia. I’m fucking sorry.” Jay strides towards the table she was sitting at. He takes a seat on the table next to hers and hangs his head. Claudia just stares at him. He takes this as a queue to keep apologizing. Just be honest Jay. Continuing to the girl in front of him. “We weren’t exactly together, but I know it felt like we working towards something. I’m not sure what that something was but… I didn’t mean to led you on, that thing with Lux just happened. I’m a piece of shit. If you could find it in you to forgive me and we can keep being friends?” “I forgive you.” Claudia immediately speaks as she goes to get up. “It’s really no problem Jay. Things happen. See ya around.” She goes to leave the library. Watching her walk away dumbfounded. “There’s no way it was that easy.” Jay said out loud.
You’re right. There’s no way. His subconscious jeered. “Right either way. Gotta get to Lux.” *compose text: to: Lux*
Jay: omw back.
________________________________________________ Claudia had it all planned out. It would take a few weeks so she had to play nice till her moment. She had a trinket of Maleficent’s that she could get her hands on. She would get this to Uma and bring her to Auradon again for her second chance. 
____________________ “So yeah. That’s it.” Jay finishes his explanation and plea for forgiveness. Lux rolls her eyes, “seriously Jay, you don’t owe me any explanations. But I think it’s best we just don’t go on this date.” “I agree.” Jay responds. “You do?” “Yeah, I fucked it up. The evening would be sullied by my mistakes.” “That’s very honorable of you. I’m impressed.” “Impressed enough to still go on the date?” He smiles. Lux looks at him like “really dude?” “Joking. Joking.” Still smiling that Jay smile. “We’ll work up to that.” “We will?” Lux is still skeptical. He reaches to caress her face, “we will.” Mmmm, this feels good. Lux closes her eyes and leans into his hand. “Alright.” She snaps out of it. “It is…” She looks at her watch. “…9:27pm, let’s go find out friends and get into some mischief.” “My lady.” He offers his arm for her to hooks hers thru and they take off out of the room. ______________________ On this nice, clear evening, the group decided to party on a private shore facing the ocean with a view of the isle. It always made the VKs feel at ease, to see their former home, no matter awful it treated them. Lux and Jay hadn’t had time to enlightened the group to what happened. As you can imagine, they were being bombarded with question after question. “You what?” Evie exclaimed. Carlos high-fived Jay, “nice!” “Why did Claudia walk into your room without knocking? Had it coming if you ask me.” Mal says. “Mal. Don’t say that.” Ben chastised her, nicely of course. “What Benny Boo? You know its rude to enter a room that’s not yours without knocking.” Ben played with this in his mind, “yeah. That’s true. But it wasn’t really her fault it happened.” “Yeah. It was mine.” Jay responds. Carlos adds on, “but it’s great that’s she’s cool about!” Jay agrees. Ben chimes in, “it really is miracle. It’s never that easy with girls.” “She’s not okay.” All the girls say together, rolling their eyes. Men were so clueless. 
“Yeah, I bet it’s not over…. Hey pass that here will you.” Mal asks for the bottle from Carlos. “But then again. We could be wrong.” She takes a swig. “Easy Girl.” Jay says. “That’s the strongest Isle mead.” Mal took that as a challenge and drank more. Everyone cheered. “Lux?” Mal offered the bottle. Lux grabs it and finishes it off. Jay had never been more in love. Love? “Hey, let’s play that game….” Evie starts while grabbing the other bottle. Jay’s thoughts being to drift away from the group. Was he stupid for thinking that it was settled? Of course. Lux had forgiven him. That was a miracle. But it’s downright unbelievable that her AND Claudia were okay with what happened. But on the shore having a great time with his friends, his troubles began to drift. __________________________ Weeks had passed with no incident. Everyone forgot about Claudia. Jay had been focusing on tourney and Lux. He had barely given a thought to her. They would see each other passing only offering a small smile before continuing on their way. Even Mal began to believe that it was over. Maybe she had been wrong after all. 
Lux began to put the entire situation with Jay to the back of her mind. She had convinced herself that whatever she had begun to feel for him was a fluke. There were no more romantic run-ins and things had fallen back into place as they were before. But she did make it a point to not be so shitty to Jay. She did feel bad about Claudia. She wouldn’t have called them friends but she was friendly. It’s moments like this that confirm to Lux how much of an anti-hero angel she was. Not quite perfect. “So, the weirdest thing just happened.” Lux says sitting down at the table with her group. “I mean, grade A weird shit. “What happened?” Evie asks. “Claudia just came up to me.” Lux responds. Jay chokes on his drink. “Claudia?? What did she want?” Mal laughs. “I knew it. I told you. This wasn’t over. I wonder what she has planned for you? Hmm, maybe some harmless pranks. Or maybe she’s just going to kick your ass.” “Haha.” Lux deadpans. “ No, it was really weird. She came up to me and said ‘Hey Lux. Oh no, you look nervous. Don’t be. I’m not a sea witch. I won’t bite. Just wanted to say no hard feelings. We all get what we deserve.’ Then she smiled a weird fucking smile and walked away. Like what the hell was that.” Mal pales. “Wait. She said what?” “That no hard feeling-” “No. No. The sea thing.” “Oh. Yeah. I’m not a sea witch. I won’t bite.” Lux says confused. “Sea witches bite? What?” She laughs. “oh no no no no no.” Mal just says over and over. Carlos chimes in. “It can’t be. Right?” “It’s possible. We don’t exactly know where she went.” Evie counters. “Hey can somebody tell me what’s going on?” Jay looks at Lux. “Old enemies Luxie. ” “But how?? How does she know about her?!” Mal growls. “Who??” Lux yells. “Uma!” The VKs say in unison. They go on to tell Lux about the incident in high school with the wand and how Uma tricked Ben into bringing her to Auradon. The fight between her and Mal ended with Uma swimming away back to the Isle. No one ever heard from her again. “I mean it’s possible she’s a pen pal on the Isle.” Carlos offers an explanation. “A what?” The rest say at the same time. Rolling his eyes, he goes on to say, “the pen pal initiative that Ben started.” He pauses hoping they’d catch on. When the don’t answer he continues. “Where we would write to the college kids on the isle. Like we were fucking 10 or something.” The collective “oh’s” rolled around. “Yeahhhhh. Mal how did you not know?” Carlos asks. Everyone looks at her for an answer. She stutters, “I mean. I- He- There’s so many decrees he makes- okay. Sometimes I don’t listen to his do-gooder ideas.” They gasp. “they’re boring.” “Yeah. You’re right there. Okay. I understand.” They all say. “But stop. How do we even know that’s it? Claudia never mentioned to me she was going participating in that. Maybe that’s not what she meant. Maybe we’re overreacting.” Jay offers. Evie says, “yeah. Maybe we are. But there’s only one way to find out. Of course, other than waiting for Uma to show up and wreak havoc upon us all.” She looks around. At the same time Mal, Lux, Carlos and Evie say, “secret spy mission.”
At the same time Jay says, “steal her phone.” They look at him quizzically. He looks embarrassed that he was completely on the wrong page. Playing with the thought and say, “yeah actually that might work. Yeah lets try that.” Jay smiles. _________________________ Cut to later that evening. “So how are we getting her phone?” Carlos asks peaking behind a corner with Jay. “Lonnie’s going to distract her. I’m going to sneak by and get it. We go through it see if there’s any information, then we’ll put it back.” Carlos nods his head. “Okay, so how are we putting it back?” “Uh, I haven’t figured that out yet.” “Always ten steps ahead here Jay.” Carlos says sarcastically.

Another day of broken promises. Another ball out of our expenses. Another day of high expectations.

I walked up to the tall mirror within my room and frowned at its reflection.

"Vincent! Are you ready, dear?"

My head turned towards the door and I gave a closed-eyed smile, a habit of mine. "I'll be right down, mother!"

"The carriage is awaiting us, hurry up, now!"

My smile dropped. I sighed as my hand ran through my hair and I looked back at my reflection. "Just another day."

. . .

As I reached the bottom of the staircase, my temporary closed smile returned. Mother turned around and walked up to place her hands on my shoulders. 

"Vincent, look at you, making us late again."

No matter how often she smiled, the trembling shakiness of her hands was enough to make mine disappear. "He invited us last minute, he most likely wouldn't notice our presence anyways. I don't see why you try so hard to impress him."

She moved her hand to rub my cheek. "Oh Vincent, you silly boy, as a Phantomhive, we must act as expected with elegance, charm, and manners." She turned away as a violent cough escaped her and quickly pulled out a handkerchief to cough into. She glanced at it, then closed it up, but I still saw the spot of crimson.

"These are desperate times, after all."

I stared at her as I placed my hand on hers. "Mother, you are not well. You shouldn't travel."

She attempted a laugh, but it soon turned into a violent coughing fit. "No...I'm fine, really."

"Mother..." I placed my hands on her shoulders and whispered into her hair. "Please, stay here. You need rest. I promise I will behave."

She looked back at me, uncertainty clear in her eyes and after a moment, a smile twitched at her lips. "Oh...alright."

I gave another smile. "Tanaka!" I looked back as I caught sight of the head butler walking towards us.

"You called, sir?"

"Tanaka, please take my mother to her bed to rest and attend to her every need."

He placed his hand over his heart and bowed his head. 

"As you wish, my young lord." He turned towards mother. "Madame? If you please."

She started walking but looked back at me. 

"Please come back in time for tonight's ball, you can't show up late to your own party."

‘My party. Yes, I would hate to not attend something as special as that. It's not like I've gotten used to the several balls we throw every week.’

"I promise, I will return in time."

With a smile, I watched her disappear with Tanaka, and only then did it drop.

. . .

"Well, well, well, Vincent Phantomhive."

The smile returned. 

"Lord Jeffries."

He let out a belt of laughter as he shook my hand. 

"Come now, call me George!"

No formalities. That is stage one.

"I say, where is Claudia? You didn't leave her behind, now did you?"

"I'm afraid mother is unwell, she will not be able to join us this morning."

He chuckled and patted my back. 

"And you were willing to travel alone so she could rest. Ha! Good lad, we need more young men like you around here. Teenagers are more after petty greed for money these days."

‘Flattery. Already in stage 2, I see.’

"Come." 

He gestured towards the two chairs at a small table where a tea set rested. We both sat and I could immediately tell exactly what his intentions were. He could have pretended to care about mother, at the least.

"Now, I've been hearing an awful lot of rumors about you having a little finance problem?"

My shoulders gave a small shrug. 

"If you've been hearing it a lot, then it must be true."

"Ha-ha! I knew-- " 

It was then that I caught sight of a maid fastly walking up to the table and picking up the pot of tea. Her hair covered her face as she focused on pouring the tea, but I could still see a hint of red on her cheeks.

Once she finished, she turned to walk away. 

"Eliza!" His fist banged on the table as she flinched.

"Y-Yes, master?"

"Scones, Eliza, now!", He barked and she jumped before scurrying off. However, she tripped over a patch of grass and as she fell, the pot flew from her hand and its contents, well...over me and my shirt.

Jeffries's eyes widened as he stood from the table. 

"Lord Phantomhive! Oh my, your clothes!"

I looked down at the maid. 

"Are you all right?"

She kept her head down as she sat on all fours. 

"Y-yes, oh Lord Phantomhive, I'm so sorry, i-i didn't mean to-- "

"It's all right." I held out a hand, which she hesitantly took and stood up.

She bowed her head in shame, a few black strands standing up from the friction. 

"I'm so sorry, my lord, please, it was an acci--"

I chuckled. "I said it's all right."

She slowly looked up at me with surprise. And that's when I noticed her red eyes. And, well...they were beautiful.

"Eliza! You useless...!" He slammed his fist on the table and she once again flinched. "Clean this up, now!"

"Yes, master! I am so sorry, master!"

And with that, she fastly walked away from the table.

"Vincent, I apologize for that insufferable maid! What a useless little—"

"You treat your servants all this way?"

He froze up. "What?"

"You yell at them, and by your maid's bodily instincts, it appears you use violence upon them. You are a terrible master." I turned a glare towards him. "Honestly, what kind of man would treat his servants so poorly?"

"U-um, I..."

"No man would. You, Lord Jeffries, are no man in my eyes."

He sneered. "How dare you!"

"So I see no reason to speak with something less of a man, I believe I shall take my leave." I stood up and turned to walk away.

"Wait! Phantomhive!"

‘Desperation. Stage three.’

I stopped. 

"Please, forgive me. I do hope you can look past this...?"

I sighed. "Only if you remember the manners of a gentleman, shall I then see you as one. It's not a good sign when an 18-year-old is more polite and mature than you. Good day, Lord Jeffries."

I heard his voice as I walked back towards the front of his mansion. "Good day, Lord Phantomhive! I'll see you tonight at your ball, eh?"

‘Oh, right. The ball.’

. . .

Tanaka's eyes widened once I stepped out of the carriage. 

"Good lord, your clothes! Are you all right, sir?"

I heavily sighed. "It was only an accident. Don't tell mother."

He chuckled. "Such a troublemaker, you are."

I cracked a smile, but then, it dropped as fast as it came. 

"How is she?"

His smile faltered. "Not well, I'm afraid. While you were away, the doctor came by to check on her..."

"And?"

Only a frown was present on his face, which only made me nervous.

"What did he say, Tanaka?"

He glanced down at the ground. 

"It's become critical, sir. He doesn't have an exact time as to when, but...soon. Very soon, sir."

I was silent. There was truly no words I could say that would make it better. Mother's been sick for over a year, now, she expected death long ago. So, with a small nod, I walked on inside as he followed.

"How are the plans for tonight coming along? I hope there haven't been any complications."

"Everything has been arranged and the staff is setting up the ballroom as we speak. Also, I have your clothes and mask awaiting on your bed."

Mask? I stopped and looked at him. 

"A mask? Why would I have a mask? I know we are low on finances, but robbing our guests isn't the way to go, Tanaka."

He smiled. "No, the mask for the ball. Did lady Phantomhive not tell you? The theme is a masquerade ball, to celebrate the many masks of the noble families, and now, as you turn 18, you will be forced to wear a mask of your own."

I rose an eyebrow. "How very...creative. A unique way of describing England's noblemen."

"Yes, it certainly is. You should hurry and get ready, my lord, the party will start in a few hours."

I forced my smile once again. 

"Yes, we wouldn't want to keep them waiting, now would we?"

. . .

'Oh Vincent, you silly boy, as a Phantomhive, we must act as expected with elegance, charm, and manners.'

"Hmph. 'As a Phantomhive'? As if our name makes us special, as if it means anything, anymore," I muttered mindlessly to myself as I stared down at the mask in my hand. 

It was a simple black mask with a white beaded design on the side of the right eye. It was very elegant, and charming, and not at all inappropriate. No wonder Tanaka chose it.

My head turned towards the door as the sound of violins, piano, and cellos filled the air. 

"Well, it sounds like it's starting." 

I sighed as I brought my face into my mask and looked up at the mirror. 

"Just another night." 

. . .

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Please give your warmest welcome to the newest man of the hour, the new head of the Phantomhive family, our Lord Vincent, Earl of Phantomhive!"

The sound of their applause echoed throughout the entire manor, and as I stepped down the stairs towards the center, I saw their true faces hidden beneath their masks. A majority of the girls blushed, men whispered into each other's ears, most likely speaking of how easy it would be to handle the new head, and the women were looking at me with the eyes of a hunter, and me as a prey suitor for their daughters.

I stopped atop the middle staircase. 

"Welcome, lovely ladies and fine gentlemen. It is an honor to be praised so highly on a day like this. In return, I offer our fullest Phantomhive hospitality. Please, enjoy yourselves. Eat, drink, dance the night away with an enchanting stranger, and be merry!"

As the audience applauded, I took a bow and walked all the way to the floor of the ballroom, and turned as the less of a man walked towards me while still clapping, a huge smile on his face.

"And here it goes."

Once he came up, he clamped a hand on my shoulder and shook my hand, while I didn't really do any of the shaking. 

"Wonderful speech, Lord Phantomhive!"

I looked curiously at the very odd orange and green mask he sported. 

"Yes, thank you. Please excuse me." 

I turned to leave, but he stopped me by blocking my way.

"Funny man. You don't think I forgot about your rude outburst earlier, did you? How would everyone here think of you if I were to tell them our new head isn't what he seems?"

‘Ah, threatening. Our final stage.’

"Lord Jeffries, you are not the first man I've dealt with, seeking for fame, money, or even suiting. I have a feeling you won't be the last, either. Your threats mean nothing to me, you shall do what you please with them." 

I flashed the smile. "Please, enjoy the party." I turned and muttered, "While you still can."

As I moved my foot forward, I felt his hand on my arm. 

"You are a fool. You think because these people think so highly of you, you can get away with anything? It doesn't even matter, you barely have enough to feed yourself, how do you plan on being the head of a family that will soon be forgotten? You take what I give you, and don't talk back."

He smiled and patted my shoulder. 

"Now, why don't I introduce you to my daughter, eh?" 

He turned and called a redhead girl that was chatting with a group of men across the room. She skipped over with a grin.

"Lord Phantomhive, I'd like you to meet--"

As he turned, it was then that he realized I was already gone. He snarled. 

"Damn teenagers!"

. . .

I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck as I leaned in one of the hidden corners of the room.

"Sir, p-please, stop!"

My eyes looked forward and I looked around for the source of that voice. I knew that voice.

"Come on, a pretty thing like you, makes me wanna do more than just dance."

"Stop! Please!"

I walked out and caught sight of a man getting grossly close to a girl with curly blonde locks, and a white half of a mask shielding half of her face.

I didn't even know what I was doing before I was standing behind the man and my voice was harsh, which it has never been before. 

"I believe the lady said to stop."

"Oh yeah?" He turned around and froze. "L-Lord Phantomhive!"

"Unhand the lady. Now."

He retracted the arm that firmly held her waist and backed away. 

"O-of course, my apologies." 

I waited until I saw him disappear into the crowd, before turning to the girl who looked as if she would pass out. 

"Are you alright?"

She froze once she heard my voice and her head snapped up. That was when I saw her eyes. They were red.

I smiled. "Miss Eliza?"

Her face went pale as she turned and went to make a break for it, but my arm caught her before she could.

"Please, just let me leave. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here!" 

Her voice cracked out of desperation.

I smiled as she lifted the mask from her face. 

"My master doesn't know I'm here. Please, don't tell him."

I continued smiling, but I offered my hand to her. 

"You look like you could use a little air."

She stared down at it unsurely. But, she ended up taking it, and with a nod, we left the room to go to the balcony.

. . .

Once we reached the balcony, I shut the doors and let her take a breath.

"I'm sorry."

I chuckled. "You don't need to keep apologizing."

She looked at me with guilt. "I overheard you and my master. I just wanted to apologize for it."

My eyes stayed glued to her face, but then they moved to the sky. 

"It's all right, Eliza."

I looked back at her and saw tears pricking her eyes. 

"You shouldn't have to do as he says. He's a cruel man."

Once a tear streamed down her cheek, I touched it with my finger and wiped it away. 

"No, he's not. He's a coward."

She looked at my finger, then moved away and shook her head. 

"I shouldn't be here. I'm keeping you, I'm sure as the host you must attend to your guests."

Something came over me and I found myself walking closer and grabbing her chin to make her look up at me. 

"I'd much rather be here with you, than in there. Believe me."

She stared into my eyes with a blush on her cheeks. And...it was like I couldn't control my actions as I glanced at her lips and found myself leaning closer until our lips met.

She tasted so sweet. And I felt her smile widely into the kiss.

A few seconds later, she pulled away and looked down. "Wow..." She breathed out.

I chuckled, but it died down once I saw her lips stretch into a crazed grin.

"That was easier than I thought."

She looked back up at me and my eyes went wide as her red orbs glowed pink and her pupils dilated into slits.

She darkly laughed. "So sorry, Vince." 

She grabbed me by the collar and pushed me through the railing. Everything happened far too fast for me to comprehend. As I fell to my death, I saw a strange blackness erupt around her, her teeth turn sharp, her ears pointy, her hair turned a dark raven black and she removed her gloves, revealing black nails that grew out like claws.

Rapid gasps escaped me, its sadistic grin was the last image I saw before everything went black.

. . .

My eyes shot open. I breathed out as I looked around, and I realized I was floating in the air!

A dark laughter echoed in my ears as I saw an endless rain of black feathers surround me.

"Vincent Phantomhive."

My head twisted toward the voice until my sight landed on a black cat sitting in a black tree. But, its eyes—they were red...like that thing!

"What are you?"

It tilted its head. 

"Isn't it obvious? I am a servant of hell. I am a demon. You summoned me."

My eyes went wide. "No, I didn't!"

It rolled its eyes. 

"Well, it did take me a while to find you, but two days ago, as you screamed yourself to sleep, you did."

"What do you want from me?"

"Sorry, that's my question to ask. You summoned me. So, what is it you want?"

It sat down and flicked its tail. "Greed? Revenge? Money?"

My head snapped up. 

"Ah...very well. Make a deal with me, Vincent. And I shall give you all that you desire."

I narrowed my eyes. "And what do you want in return?"

"Hehe, smart and handsome. I like you. The answer is simple. Your soul."

My heart stopped. 

"Especially one as desperate as yours, it truly makes you even more delicious."

"Do you plan on feasting on me?"

"No. I'm saving you for something else."

I looked down. Was I really that desperate? Could I be willing to throw away my soul? It didn’t take as much thought as I expected. I looked back up at the cat. 

"All right. I'll do it. I want you to make the Phantomhive family rich and known throughout England. I want the queen to remember us and use us as she once did. I want to make sure that my family shall never suffer like my mother ever again! And you will have my soul the minute I die."

The cat's tail froze as its eyes bored into mine. 

"Now, you must choose carefully. Should you reject the faith even this once, the gates of paradise will forever be out of your reach."

"If I were a man of faith, I wouldn't be agreeing to this, would I?"

A laugh rang out. "I will ask one more time. Do you wish to form a contract with me?"

My eyes narrowed. "I do! Do we have a deal?"

The black feathers all lifted up and swirled around. Through them, I saw a shape of a woman. In a matter of seconds, the feathers disappeared. I looked around, and I was back at our manor. But, as I looked in front of me, there stood a woman in a maid's uniform with black hair and those red eyes.

"You have agreed to a contract. Now, what shall my name be?" She smiled.

"Your name?"

"Yes. Pick wisely, know the moment you mutter my new name, I will be reborn as yours and yours alone."

I looked her up and down and said the first name I thought of. 

"Isabella."

Her smile widened. 

"Interesting. Isabella. From now until your death, I will be Isabella."

"Brieris. Isabella Brieris."

"Good." Her smile dropped. "Where would you like it?"

"What?"

"Our contract mark. The more visible it is, the more powerful and stronger our bond will be. Where would you like it?"

"Um..." 

I looked at my hands, to my neck. My eye? No, too obvious and irritating. I rubbed the back of my neck as I thought. Wait, that's it. 

"My neck."

"Very well," Her voice whispered from behind me, and I didn't even notice she had moved. I felt a sharp pain in the center of my neck.

"Sleep now, master. I will see you when you wake...my lord."
