Heyyy,

I saw your toxic things the demon bros will do to keep you with them and i absolutely fell in love with. More of, my mental health issues felll in love with- ANYGAYSzz

I was wondering if you could maybe do the same for the side characters¿¿¿¿

Also did you drink water today? Cuz if thats a no here you go 💧💧💧💧

And some cookies just incase 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

Love anonymous 👑

I'm not actually supposed to post anything for tonight, because I don't know? I didn't get to start anything this morning so I crammed this post T_T

But love lots! Hope you enjoy this piece ^^

But seriously, I was like "Oh shit, the algorithm I don't have!" And proceed to finish this.

--------------------------------------------------

What are the most toxic thing they will do in a relationship just to make you stay with them?

Versions: Demon brothers, Side Characters

Warnings: Manipulation, yandere themes, execution, mention of torture, psychological torture, love potions, Mentions of murder, framing, alcohol

Links: Masterlist

--------------------------------------------------

DIAVOLO will use his authority

He's already so happy to have you by his side

And by staying there you already secured the position of the next ruler that will stand beside him

So, why do you have to leave..?

And the reasons

"I'm not fit enough..."

"I don't deserve this much..!"

"There are more people out there that are more worthy than me..."

Won't cut it.

He knows your worth and he's sure you do too.

So why?

Perhaps you're just nervous that you won't be able to match his grace?

You don't need to.

His grace is unmatched among the demons and yours is too among the mortals.

You both are on the same chapter, just on different pages.

So why make things hard for yourself?!

All you need to do is say yes and everything will be taken care of.

Clothes, food, money, status, security and literally anything.

He loves you and you does too so it's not going to be a marriage with no love...

SO WHY?

You're starting to drive him insane, MC.

And he might just do the same to you

So he'll invite you over for a fancy dinner and a few drinks

You accepted, despite knowing that Diavolo might try something after he got you drunk

Thinking that Diavolo forgot that you can't get drunk by just a basic demonus

Fool

That's what you are for thinking Diavolo actually misses something, anything about you

So he changed the bottle of demonus to an actual human liquor but neutralized it's taste by the help of his one, loyal servant

Barbatos

Not even two hour passed by and you're already putty in his hands

Dancing just like how he wants it on his palms

Then he'll slide a paper into the table to you, together with a beautiful pen

He then point at an empty line with his finger and said "Look at that MC, this line right here wants your signature."

"Hmm, why?~"

"Because it's such a huge fan of you and it needs you to become something, someone better, so why don't you give it a sign?" Is what he said while smirking.

And there you are, signing the papers while your mind is clouded with alcohol

Oh what is it?

Just a marriage contract

You don't want it?

Look into rules and regulations, Claus 5

It's against your human rights?

How foolish, you're not in the human world.

You will tell the whole Devildom about it?

Lèse majesté

And what's the punishment for committing that? Simple.

Death.

BARBATOS and his timeline power

He loves you

So much actually

At first, it was fun to be in a relationship with him

It's fun, slowly opening him up like a present and seeing the gift, a part of him that only you know.

He builds up trust for you and so do you for him

Then it started to get suffocating

He won't admit it openly but you know,

You know that the one who kills anyone who dared act close with you is him

And it terrifies you

You may allow it if it actually harms you, severely

But it's not for your protection anymore

He's doing it out of pure annoyance now

He doesn't like you around the brothers

The angels

Solomon

Thirteen

Or even Lord Diavolo

In fact, he doesn't want you around anyone.

And it's making you feel more unsafe

He's starting to isolate you from everyone and everything

He's trying to isolate you from the world

So you decided to end things with him

And he doesn't seem to take it lightly like how you expected...

How did you know?

Simple.

You woke up weeks before that break up happened

You know how it happened and you know who made it happen

It's none other than your boyfriend of course

You thought that maybe if you talk nicely with him he'll actually understand the problem

But he didn't

He started to get more and more aggressive with you

Then when the week end

It repeats

And repeats

And repeats again

And again

But it will keep going on like that until you learn

Until you learn that there's no other option than him

No other ending than him

He doesn't mind driving you crazy if it means you'll continue to love him

So good luck, MC.

SIMEON might just ask Father for help

Ho doesn't understand!

Why would you want to break up with him?!

He did everything, MC!

It's not clear!

Nothing is clear!

You just belive that you two are not fit together..?

You don't want him to end up like Lilith..?

He doesn't care!

He'll burn these precious, white wings for you!

He'll kill for you!

He'd actually prefer to end up like Lilith rather than this!

Because, at least, Lilith managed to be with her love until her life ended...

He'd rather be a demon or a human rather then live like the adored angel he is without you...

...

You'll still leave huh?

Alright then.

I guess he has no choice but to ask Father for help

What do you mean it will cause him to fall? Oh dear, it won't.

It might actually even promote him into a higher rank.

Father wants you in his side.

In fact, the whole celestial realm want you on this side

So when he asked "Father, it seems that we need to take even larger measure to have MC side with us. What do you think we can do?"

...oh?

Luke?

What a brilliant plan.

Now,

Let's see if you can still leave knowing an innocent life, Luke, will be put under danger because of this tantrum,

Because of you.

SOLOMON and his hidden antics

Oh dear, angel

His little devil

His most prized possession

His favorite concubine,

You won't be leaving him anytime soon, dear.

When you told him that "I want to break up with you."

He kept himself quite for a while before answering "Let me give it some thought, MC. For now, stay with me."

And just as he expected you listened obediently.

But then, his grip around your waits became more rough

And the hand he used to playfully wrap around your neck became more tight

It's hard...

It's hard to feed you his love laced cooking

But he found out that you just loves, adored even, Luke's baked cookies...

And since you're a human, he knows that Luke creates special cookies just for you

One that don't contain exotic ingredients that will upset your stomach

And it just made the work of latching love potions easier for him

He'll just add a few drops and it will do the magic for him

So, all he has to do sit tight

And wait for you to crawl back to his lap yourself.

RAPHAEL will use spears for example

Haha...

But he loves you, MC..?

He might just start crying if you say more

"Sure... But I'll make sure you'll come back to me..!"

At first, it sounded like a joke and it's funny enough to make you giggle

The beautiful memories of peaceful separation didn't last long after you saw a dead body pinned by spears though

His spears, to be specific

It doesn't even make sense

You don't even know this guy...

He hasn't talk to you and you don't even know him

Hell, you don't even recognize his face...

So what's the catch?

Why is he killing completely random people...

That's what have been running around your mind

You haven't seen him around RAD anymore

And if you do he refuse to answer your questions

Except his face will lightly flush and he'll even smile a little before sa say "Ah~ It's nice hearing your voice..."

His tone, the way he says it, none of theme are innocent

And he made it known that he knows what he's doing

The curiosity didn't last long

Until you found out that the corpses aren't for you from him as a threat

It was for the families of the victims

You found out that each of them have high power among the nobilities of Devildom

And he killed them to make the families think that you're telling him to do so

It's not to make you feel guilty, it for them to start attacking you

Until you're pushed back to a corner where no one else can save you

Except for him.

MEPHISTOPHELES's way only

Ha...

Man he loves you so much...

But all he do is stare at you blankly after you told him you ant to break up

Staring at you like you're just some kid throwing a tantrum

It's Mephistopheles in front of you, I mean, he's rich, handsome, tall, smart and has good family background

If he's a human everybody would have gone crazy over him already

Plus he wears heels and he has a sexy cane

What more could you ask for?

But yeah...

You don't want to be with him forever?

Sure, he'll talk to Diavolo.

"I'll buy MC's contract and I'll put them under my wing." Is all the reason he needs to say and a few more to have Diavolo selling you

What about your family?

This amount will do right?

I mean...

He paid for what your worth so don't expect it to be much.

Anyways, you're his now

By the eyes of the law, money and his

He'll never let you get away?

And if you did try to?

He'll simply frame you for treason and let's see if you won't come crawling back to him

After finding out that he can choose what type of punishment, torture method, to give you.

But don't worry.

He likes the game cat and mouse

He don't like playing it for a long time though

So be careful

His patience isn't as long as the line of money and connection ahead of him

THIRTEEN basically holds your life

Break up?

"You're not." Is all she said as she holds your candle

She's grinning widely as she let your candle melt, its 's wax falling directly in her hands

"Why would you even want to?" She asked even though she knows, no reason can separate the two of you

And if you did say "I don't care." as she holds you candle

She might just accidentally extinguish one of your loved ones candles

So be careful, MC.

Among everyone

She's the only one who won't joke around.

And just so you know

Her patience is shorter than the amount of time it requires to kill someone's fire off of their candle.

thg boys + waiting til marriage

someone requested how the hunger games boys would react to a reader who wants to wait til marriage so here it goes!! xo

coriolanus is tricky, because i can see it going both ways — on one hand, he really wants to fuck you. he wants to make you his without the fuss of a ring and a wedding, wants to take your virginity like a possession. but, on the other hand, he cares about things like tradition and status. marrying someone "pure" and in good social standing would be more important to him than marrying for love. i think he would respect your wishes and marry you regardless, but i can't guarantee it wouldn't frustrate him, or that he would be totally faithful...

finnick would be completely fine with the idea. he has spent so long only being wanted for his body, the fact that you want to wait would probably be a comfort to him, that you weren't just into him for his attractiveness and the idea of fucking him. he would wait until you were ready — he wasn't able to have his first time on his own terms, and he would never take that away from someone else.

gale would respect it, but probably be a little irritated. he wants to settle down eventually, but he is young and horny and just wants to fuck without worrying about future commitments. he wouldn't press the issue, but would ask if you just mean penetrative sex or if you guys do other stuff.

haymitch doesn’t think he ever intends to marry, so when he finds out that you feel that way, i feel like he’d a little frustrated at first, but as he falls for you more and more, and decides that he does want to marry you…well, it becomes less of an issue and more of an exciting moment to look forward to.

peeta is fine with it, he really doesn’t mind — he wants to wait for the right person too, so you would probably both end up waiting until you were married, there really isn’t much else to say because he would just be chill about it lol.

sejanus is cool with it, he comes from a traditional family so those values are a bit instilled in him — he wouldn’t mind either way, though, he just respects how you feel. i can already see sejanus wanting to get married pretty early in your relationship, so he wouldn’t even have to wait long, he just knows that you’re the one.

ITS SNAKE O' CLOCK!!! yay yippee wahoo! have you decided what you're doing with him or are you just thinking abt him :O?

Rotating him in my mind for my own sanity because I got to the part in Path of Stars where they've just. Completely retconned everything about him for the sake of forcefully making everyone of value forgive Clear Sky. The only person who stays mad at Clear Sky forever actually just liked One Eye better

Even though we saw him, on screen, looking at the camera and being like, "I Do Not Like Clear Sky Because His Bad Judgement Caused Us To Be Permanently Branded By A Tyrant Like We Were A Herd Of Texas Steers."

They did him SO dirty, man!! SO SO dirty!!!!!

On that note though, I HAVE decided on a few things!

So, on the note of defectors, Snake is going to be one of the very last ones. While I absolutely adore him, I think it's very important and meaningful that he is one of his most loyal cats.

Snake is a Mountain cat, and it's looking like he is going to be part of the Claw Family.

The Claw Family consists of Fox Claw and Petal Claw to begin with. I have an inkling of an idea that Petal Claw actually leaves while pregnant-- possibly escaping someone unsavory back at home.

I feel like she doesn't really enjoy romance. She's ambitious and ferocious, and whoever her lover was, was quite controlling.

Unfortunately it's a big reason why she's so committed to Clear Sky. She has that sort of unaddressed mindset that abuse often leaves you with.

"No, I know what an awful person is because of what I went through, and I'm telling you, Clear Sky is not that. YOU'Re actually the problem."

And, in turn, Clear Sky rewards her a lot. She is one of his favorite cats, she gets a TON of benefits for her loyalty. Tyrannical, terrible two of them.

Besties (threat)

Snake Claw and Red Claw would have been the first births in the forest, but Bright Storm gave birth early because of the stress and thus Thunder Storm came first.

So Snake and Red were brought up by Petal Claw and Fox Claw, in early Sky's Clan.

Fox and Petal were ADAMANTLY loyal to Clear Sky. They remained behind in the Shadow/Sky split, hissing and spitting at those who chose to follow Tall Shadow.

I feel like Fox was actually their primary parent. They call him Uncle, but he acted a lot more like a dad. It gave Petal more time to go do bad bitch things.

When Clear Sky murders Misty, much much later, Petal is given the kittens as a reward for her loyalty. Having more kits is a point of status, and she's very happy to accept the reward.

So, the Claw family becomes "huge" in a short period of time on this evil action. Petal Claw, Fox Claw, Snake Claw, Red Claw, Alder Claw, Birch Claw.

For Snake, he's raised accepting all this as good and normal. At some point, Fox Claw is killed in some kind of frighteningly violent, unnecessary, bloodthirsty skirmish that Clear Sky aggrieves, and Snake Claw doubles down right along with Petal.

He also does a lot of the WORST things on behalf of Clear Sky. He IS going to have a body count-- though he will no longer be killing BB!Frost (now Sunlit Frost), he does bite him on the good paw during The First Battle.

This bite goes septic, after Sunlit REFUSES to sit out gravedigging, helping to bury his friends and family with an open wound. He already has nerve damage in the other arm from his severe burn.

This choice, because he wouldn't take a break when he was told to, ends up MASSIVELY disabling him. Once a master builder and inventor, he loses his dominant paw and has chronic pain in the other one. He can't build anymore after this.

After Snake Claw defects, I actually really want them to struggle with this. Snake doesn't feel like it's fair to blame him for what Sunlit did to himself, but he's also NEW to Thunder's Clan later, and there's not a lot of people on his side.

And Sunlit is a person who holds grudges... but it's also true that it's kinda not fair, since Snake Claw is trying to apologize for it.

Somehow it's unsatisfying and frustrating, knowing that Snake Claw is only apologizing because everyone wants him to. But how can you expect him to be sincere about something the BOTH of you feel is not entirely his fault?

It's like Sunlit wanted to have him to blame, but that's hard when he's not Clear Sky's Minion anymore.

In the past, I'd gone back and forth on if Red Claw or Snake Claw defected, and now I'm realizing.... por que no los dos? Por que no los TRES?

Since I've committed to adding a third group and expanding on the Forest cats, this is going to mean that Snake's younger "adopted" siblings NEED to have full arcs with this.

While one of them will remain with Clear Sky, becoming a cultural "justification" for the practice of Kitten Stealing, which will plague Clan culture for generations, I think something is fascinating in the idea that they're the ONLY Claw to remain with SkyClan.

Petal Claw and Fox Claw die in battle, "honored" for their sacrifice.

Red Claw defects for ThunderClan first, after falling for the charms of Acorn Swoop

Alder Claw likely follows later... reconnecting with Misty's mate, Milkweed, who has been fighting for MOONS for this very moment

And, lastly, Snake will follow.

(It is also bitterly funny to me that it means Milkweed loses Misty, but then ends up gaining all of Petal's biokids. Never speak to me or my daughter or my son or my son or my daughter or my daughter or my daughter-in-law ever again)

Because Snake Claw will be the very last of the Claw family to defect, I'm thinking it's after the end of BB!DOTC, and over in Thunderstar's Justice.

KEEP the fact that Snake Claw leaves because of Skystar bringing One Eye into the Clan. Even keep the fact that most of SkyClan is loyal to their tyrant-- Snake Claw has woken up to the truth, and realizes he has family elsewhere who loves and misses him.

Well.... hopefully they still do. After everything.

Snake Claw should have a ton of fights with Red Claw and Alder Claw, I think, before the First Battle. Have them all be covered in scars

Because the whole family defects, it's easy for it to become a sensational story about Nepotism/Scabforming. Other Clans probably don't hold Snake, Red, and Alder in high esteem in their myths-- but until Darkstar's Commandment which bans Kitten Stealing, Birch Claw was easily the most venerated.

Aaaand that's it so far! I know for a fact now that Snake Claw is going to be a member of the Claw family, and that he is going to be a MAJOR antagonist through BB!DOTC. In Thunderstar's Justice, he's going to join his living family after finally being able to realize that Skystar is not worth following.

I want to keep that he is a villain for most of the story, because that's what I like best about the way he turns on Clear Sky from canon. He was everything Skystar ever wanted, he did every awful command, the blood is already dried under his claws forever and he was rewarded only with a permanent scarring.

Then, told it's "MY way or the HIGH way," he chooses the high way.

#Since BB!DOTC is the most changed and has had TWO very large changes as time goes on...#I really need to make a new summary post for it #Sorry to followers who are confused dfsfs I'm aware of it #BB!DOTC #Snake Claw #Better bones au

What if I told you that the antidote to Islamophobia isn't Antisemitism?

CW for this post (you have seen the title.) I feel like this shouldn't need explaining, but merciful Brigid, some of the shit I have seen. It's time for Led Tasso to come out. I'm not Jewish, let's just get that out of the way first, but my position on Palestine is largely informed by Jewish people who have been protesting for decades about the horrific treatment of Palestinians being done by a settler colonial state appropriating their religion, culture, language, and trauma. Fascist governments weaponizing fear and hiding behind religion is a well known tactic, and the fact that so many people have put this readily available information from their minds, specifically in this conversation, speaks to how incredibly pernicious antisemitism really is. I'm treading lightly here because as someone who's not Jewish, it really isn't my place to explain the cultural complexities, trauma, or general experiences of Jewish people. But if you haven't seen those discussions crossing your feed, you should be looking inward and asking why. Because if you're not invested in Jewish voices right now (or in general), that's a red flag for the kind of rhetoric you've internalized and the struggles you take seriously. The position I can speak from, however, is one of being committed to challenging all forms of systemic violence and oppression. So from that stance, and I cannot stress this enough: If you are fighting for some at cost to others, you are reinforcing oppression. It is wild to me that "Nazi" has come to mean "The worst thing a person can be" without recognition of the fact that the ideology is inherently antisemitic, that this is its centrepiece, that Jews are the number one target. This separation is, once again, an example of how insidious this brand of hatred really is--blatant erasure of the way Jewish people are uniquely targeted. I know a lot of trans people follow me, so here's a fun fact: You know the "Doctors are transing our kids to damage fertility rates!" conspiracy? You can thank antisemitism for that, too! It's literally just a rebrand of the Great Replacement conspiracy, which is modernized "protection of Aryan bloodlines." The most recent chapter of "My Life as A Bigot" by Joanne Klan Rowling isn't just another gleeful display of her hatred of trans people, it's another addition to the laundry list of antisemitic beliefs and talking points she's been peddling for years. The Charlottesville "unite the right" Nazi rally was spurred on by the removal of confederate statues and anti-Black racism. What is it they were chanting, again? Anyone remember? Any of this ringing a bell? OH RIGHT. "Jews will not replace us." So many other forms of systemic violence are steeped in the poisonous rhetoric of antisemitism. Acting like this isn't the case damns our Jewish siblings who need us while weakening our understanding of the oppressive forces we're fighting. "One struggle" includes all of us. The fact that the Likud government uses accusations of antisemitism as a cover for their violence should make you more diligent about condemning antisemitism, not less. Because letting them weaponize something that is already so widespread and destructive makes it that much harder to dismantle.

Do not stop talking about Palestine. Do not stop speaking up against the horrors of settler colonial violence. But if you can't do this without throwing another group of oppressed people under the bus, you need to question where you learned your resistance tactics, because the company you're keeping there should disgust and terrify you.

#enough is enough #antisemitsm tw #seriously what the fuck #fuck jkr #none of us are free until all of us are free #stop antisemitism

who's the iterator with the shelter symbol on their head? 👀

*whips around and evil grins at the camera* TIME FOR A CANOPY POST

sheltering canopy | #862, gen 3 | she/her

(im gonna be talking about off string canopy mostly because she doesn't really do anything yet in the canon adjacent story!!! all the like. personal info and stuff is consistent tho)

of course. as always. since this is canopy's first time around. fast facts.

sheltering canopy is part of the far north group, a local group adjacent to corners!

far north consisted (in order of construction) of eleven rivers, untold odyssey, one wish for all, four falling phrases, and finally sheltering canopy. when rivers' first admin went to the void sea and was eventually replaced with flowers, flowers proposed and helped construct the twins and separated the far north group into two groups.

odyssey was made group senior overseeing wish and canopy, and phrases was made senior overseeing rivers and the twins.

shortly after the mass ascension, wish caught the rot, and some time after that the Gift was released and odyssey received dev status. unfortunately wish's rot was too extreme so they couldn't save her, but odyssey was able to reach canopy and make her a mobile puppet so they could travel south together!

they are heading south because *static sounds here* (there is something that LOTS of iterators are travelling towards, havent decided if its like. a commune or new society or something but whatever i decide is where these guys are heading). unfortunately, the only way south from far north is through the great north divide (a large mountain range), which is perilous and frigid. keeping warm is hard and securing water is even harder. rivers and phrases climbed the range and went above (pink path), where canopy and odyssey (cyan path) moved through a ravine called the west chasm (more water and warmth than going above, but also lots more carnivores)

the divide is a difficult journey but once youve reached the other side, the real threat rears its head. across the mountains from the far north group is the civilizing divide group, a group consisting of 13 iterators, most notably their senior and older sister, adamant dune.

i think we all know who dune is by now, lmao canopy and odyssey almost reached the other side of dune's territory without even understanding the danger they were in, but the group caught up with them last moment. by the time canopy and odyssey reach this point, phrases and rivers have already long escaped and dune had thrown hollow space out. she was especially dangerous at this point, angry and grieving and now without her voice of reason.

a mystery group (who i currently know very very little about) jumps in at the last moment and saves odyssey, leaving canopy behind having seen her injuries and knowing there's no coming back from a killing blow like that.

but canopy miraculously survives the wound dune inflicts on her, and instead of just trying again, dune takes canopy in to her group in exchange for canopy to help them retrieve cells. they tell canopy that they murdered odyssey.

dune in no way treats canopy like family like she does the rest of her group. she makes canopy help with murder and has little to no regard for her wellbeing or feelings. canopy collapses in on herself amongst the violence shes being made to commit and the cruelty she's facing. she becomes quiet, introspective and numb. it reminds dune of hollow space, which just makes her disdain for canopy stronger.

i sketched this freaky comic of dune making canopy murder someone, you can see it if u promise not to look at the arms for more than 0.5 seconds lmao

she goes by the name shelter with dune and co.

ok its 12:30 pm on a work night and i gotta wake up at 6 so thats all from me for now. ill save her and odyssey's reunion for another time!!! the payoff is huge you guys have no idea but i promise they end up together again

#druid draw #rain world oc #iterator oc #oc posting #off string au #os canopy #canopy #os odyssey #os dune #these posts. are so fun. and i always stay up way too late makin em #violence #ask to tag maybe #guy post

ASTRO OBSERVATIONS PART 18🌑

→ masterlist

These are my personal observations and not facts, i do not want to offend anyone.

Saturn dominants love social media because its a way for them to show off their status symbols and get to know more people. They want everyone to see how many people they know.

The planets in the 10th house are so important when it comes to how people see you. For example Bob Marley have Jupiter and Neptune in the 10th house and he will always be remembered for Neptunian and Jupiterian themes.

Venus Square Neptune natives probably have a mother who is very vain and they learned early that flaws are something you should cover up. They could also have a mother who had to fight for their fathers love which made them grow up to attract men who are unavailable just like their father was towards their mother.

During the time when Jupiter transits your 2nd house you will most likely have a huge appetite

When Saturn transits your 10th house you might get your karma in the form of bad things you have done becoming known to the public.

Even if you are usually not into ”fwb” relationships when you meet someone you have Lilith/8th house synastry with you might feel less guilty having that kind of relationship with them.

Aquarius will be the first to hop on a trend or they will refuse to follow the trend

Capricorn MC have excellent social skills. Capricorn placements in general since they care a lot about what people think but especially Capricorn MC.

Moon in the 8th house synastry makes you have a very bad influence on eachother, you will do things together that you would normally never do. If the two of you are both a little ”twisted” it can get dangerous. This is the aspect where you might even commit murder together.

Sun in the 8th house is the perfect placement for a criminal becasue 8th house Suns have it in them naturally to cover up and hide what they do

People with Nessus conjunct Sun can be obsessed with the eat or get eaten mindset

Every Scorpio Moon ive met have had a fascination with psychopaths

Sagittarius Moons believe everything people say because they have this ”anything is possible” mindset so they can be very gullible. I would actually say this could be one of the top 3 most naive moon placements.

Venus conjunct Chiron in a womans chart is an indicator that she doesnt feel feminine enough. No matter how she looks she feels like shes not like other women, they just cant see the feminine in themselves.

Venus conjunct Chiron also makes the person with this aspect feel like there is some kind of wall between them and others which makes them feel lonely.

Asteroid Young(2165) conjunct Mercury gives a youthful voice

Ive seen a lot of women with Moon/Saturn aspects get involved with men who already have children from another relationship and they have a hard time handling being a stepmom

super cool ghost ice mega slide

(masterpost to my fics while ao3 is down) AO3

fic under the cut

Having another superpowered person as part of Batclan was great, even if he wasn't technically a meta (I'm dead, Duke, that's more of a medical condition-). Having a portable snow maker year round was even better.

Duke had taken to Danny pretty quickly after the younger teen had been picked up off the street, hurt and borderline delirious, surprisingly not by Bruce, but by Jason. Once he had been cognizant enough to realize in which city he was, and in whose cave, he had had a pretty major freak out, believing himself in danger through a mix of the idea that Batman hated metas and whatever had hurt him so badly in the first place.

After Duke had managed to get out of his stupor at seeing whatever it was the kid had become (and seriously, he had seen some pretty unusual things because of his meta abilities, but a 4k HD 1080p 4D experience of a real life eldritch being was not one of them) he had promptly kicked everyone out of the room in the med area (except for Alfred, whom he very politely asked vacate the room) to try and calm the kid down.

After revealing his own meta status, assuring the glowing kid that Batman didn't actually hate metas, he just wanted to protect his city from mind-controlled superpowered people, and that he was safe from whoever had hurt him, the kid had finally calmed down enough to return to a more human-like appearance.

From then it was really no surprise to anyone that the new kid (who could transform into an actual human, and really? Black hair and blue eyes again?) got promptly adopted and revealed information that got an entire branch of the government taken down by the blazing wings of fury of the entire Batclan (even Damian had quickly become attached to the newest kid once his katana was gushed about with the accuracy and fervor of someone who knows how to wield the weapon).

What had been unexpected was the kid having a connection to the Lazarus Pits (which were apparently something called ectoplasm) and being able to help Jason get rid of what turned out to be a huge amount of toxic gunk from himself, leaving him with only the good gunk (Duke tried not to think too much about it), which made the too dead-but-not-really boys bond quickly.

On top of all that the kid was also an engineering and astronomy nerd (as well as had a knack for math and physics), which appealed him to Tim greatly, and he made puns like would die (again) if he didn't, which appealed him to Dick, and, he preferred communicating with means other than spoken words (usually inhuman sounds and growls), which he bonded over with Cass, and he was actually good a baking, which appealed him to Alfred, and he was also already a vigilante, which appealed him to everyone else-

The point being, everyone loved Danny, including Duke himself, so it was a bit hard to get some to spend with him by himself, which was why Duke was going to make the most of this day.

He wasn't actually alone with the young half-ghost, Cass was also left at home while all the others went about some business or another out of the manor, but Duke knew hanging out with both Danny and Cass was often double the fun since underneath the chill facades both of them were actually feral little shits, so that wasn't an issue.

That brought him back to his first point: having a brother who could make no-melt snow on command was the best!

So now here they were, the three of them standing side by side on top of the tallest point of the manor, facing a slope so steep it was almost 90º degrees at first and then bent and curved all over the yard in ways Duke just knew wouldn't pass a safety inspection, those tiny cheap plastic sleds in hand (“for the full experience,” Danny said, even though they certainly had the money to buy other sleds). Duke was regretting some of his choices, looking down, but now he was committed, no way was he quitting, Danny and Cass would tag team on teasing him for the rest of time.

“Ready?” Danny asked, a too wide smile on his face and eyes open with the kind of crazed excitement only someone who was already dead could have.

Cass answered by putting her sled on the ground and sitting on it, position ready and her face mirroring Danny's.

Duke stood corrected, only people who were already dead, and Cass.

He really was going to regret this, wasn't he. Well, too late to back out now. This is what he got for hanging out with the two most unhinged people in the family, he supposed (and that was saying something, considering the kind of family Duke had).

“Sure, yeah, what's a little sled race down a death slope of doom?” the meta answered with more confidence than he felt. He was the Signal! He could do this! Besides, Cass and Danny wouldn't actually let him break his neck and die, right? Right.

Cass patted his shoulder sympathetically (as if-) as he sat down. Here went nothing.

“Remember, whoever makes it down in the least amount of time wins an ice cream! And no powers! You're up first, Duke!” Danny exclaimed as he pushed Duke forward.

Duke had barely any time to process the fact that he was already in a semi-free fall before he was already approaching the tunnels that made up the bottom half of the “super cool ghost ice mega slide” (patent pending). He remembered he did, in fact, need to breath, filling his lungs to the top and letting the air out in a scream.

The meta boy could do nothing but keep screaming as he reached speeds he was pretty sure went against the laws of physics, making loop-de-loops and turns so steep he thought he was going to slam against the side instead of turning a few times.

After what felt like an eternity but also too little time to have actually completed the Slide of Doom (more accurate name, in Dukes opinion), he finally made it to the end, promptly getting bowled over by a gleeful Cass and cackling Danny, who he hadn't even noticed were right behind him.

“Mmfffhblggggheroff-” Duke grunted, turning over and subsequently throwing off the other two into the surrounding snow. Danny accepted his fate, while Cass sat up and grinned at him.

“And?! Wasn't that fun?!” Cass signed excitedly. Duke was about to say it was terrifying, but cut himself short when he noticed he was smiling.

Huh. That actually had been fun. It had been really, really fun.

“We should do that again,” he breathed out. “We should do that again, but all together! More weight means more speed! We can see how far off the finish we end up!”

He was excited now, he was PUMPED! He grabbed Danny around the waist, carrying him like a sack of potatoes and and running up the ice steps (sibling with ice powers for the win-) back to the roof, Cass behind him with the sleds.

He ignored the ghost boy's protests about being able to walk (“and fly!”), eager to enact his new plan.

Once up there, he dumped his brother and accepted a sled from his sister, sitting down on it.

“Cass, sit on my lap! Danny goes on top because he's a lightweight!” he told the others, receiving a token protest from Danny, who got further teased about his half weight by Cass.

Once they were all settled, Duke got really to start them off by pushing with his legs when Danny yelled out.

“Wait!”

Cass and Duke looked up at him with questioning glances. In response, the boy got up, touched the slide and… Oh-hoho, this was gonna be good.

“There, it's extra smooth and slippery now. We're in for some Cool Running!” Danny said, settling back on top of the pile, grin matching his two siblings'.

“Alright, let's break some legs” Duke muttered, pushing forward with his feet.

And damn-

If Duke thought he was going fast before, they were racing the Flashes now!

All three siblings let out manic laughter, whopping and screaming as they held on to each other for dear life, the forces of the turns threatening to pull them apart.

As they neared the finish, Duke saw a shadow, barely having time to process before he was blinded by the flash of a camera.

They kept going a bit after the finish, the speed they came with not letting them stop, eventually colliding with a pile of snow and finally flying in different directions.

Duke couldn't stop laughing where he had landed, full of adrenaline and absolute mirth. A little ways away, he could hear both his siblings in the same predicament.

After a managing to get himself under control and trying to get his breathing back to normal, he sat up, freezing when he saw the amused audience they suddenly had.

“Umm, guys?” he called out to the other two.

“What?” Danny asked, sitting up as well and freezing as he saw what Duke had seen.

Cass was the last to rise, looking at their audience with as innocent a face as she could manage while clearly a culprit to their exploits.

Bruce simply raised an amused eyebrow, Alfred at his side looking perfectly regal while innocently holding a camera in his hands.

“I see you were having fun on your day off,” he stated, lips threatening to curl into a grin.

The three sibling looked at each other, before Cass reached over and simply offered one of the tiny plastic sleds to the man.

All of them were locked in a staring contest for the next few seconds, before Bruce's face finally broke into a grin and he grabbed the sled.

“Thought you wouldn't ask!” he said, turning and running up the steps, yelling back at them for being slow pokes.

The siblings all grinned at each other before running after the man.

Yeah, having access to unlimited snow was great, but getting to spend time with his family in it? Even better. bonus unrelated snow LBM drawing

Perceptiveness and Power: A Remus Essay

While this could just be me reiterating what was already presented in canon, I just wanted to acknowledge the semantics of Remus as a side, and how his sense of perceptiveness provides him a semblance of power to influence both Thomas and the other sides.

In DWIT, to explain how Remus was able to garner anxiety from Thomas, Patton, and Virgil, Logan describes him as someone who “plays to [Thomas’] sensitivities.”

And, well, fucking duh. I think majority of the fandom acknowledges that Remus uses fear as a means to gain control or get the attention of the other sides and Thomas. But a thing I think most people don’t acknowledge as much is how skilled Remus is at understanding fears in the first place.

[rest of the essay is under the cut!]

Because random, stereotypical R18 stuff is generally scary; it appeals to what the status quo collectively thinks is inhumane or awful. But to me, this isn’t actually what provides Remus power to influence the others. He garners control via understanding personal fears. And, I mean, double fucking duh because it would hit more if someone can thoroughly sniff out the insecurities you keep secret from the world.

But I still think that Remus’ perceptiveness of one’s fears generally goes unnoticed. I think it’s underestimated, even, both in the fandom and in Sanders Sides itself. We think this man is Silly, he said so himself, but I think we also have to realize that Remus is deliberate. Yes, his goals can be silly and can change on a whim, but that does not mean that Remus is dumb. He commits. He commits in the way that he creates complicated traps for Thomas to feel more and more insecure about himself. He commits in the way that he plays into Virgil and Patton’s fears, toying with their warped sense of black-and-white thinking to make Thomas become more insecure.

If Remus wants to do something, he’s perceptive enough to know which insecurities he has to feast on to make it work.

Rewatching DWIT, I’ve noticed that, besides his random comments, he makes comments that directly describe the insecurities of everyone else in the room. It’s interesting, because he can make a string of comments unrelated to the matter at hand, then he’ll drop a heavy fucking bomb calling out the insecurities of another person. Here are the different examples I caught in DWIT and WTIT:

Reaping Thomas’ morality crisis:

His awareness of Logan’s neglect:

Two instances of his awareness of Virgil’s internal morality conflict:

Even Roman tells Thomas that Remus reminds him of his own insecurities. What a fucking madman. (all /lh btw, I fucking LOVE devious schemers):

And the scary part about this is that... this is the first time we see him. Of course, the sides would know him way before this episode, but the fact Remus can read them well without being close to them is terrifying.

The question is, what becomes of Remus’ perceptiveness and harvested power? While I am a Remus and Logan-centric blog, I do think there’s enough scenes in both DWIT and WTIT that could potentially foreshadow the future of their dynamic, and the execution of how Logan comes to terms with the others’ neglect towards him.

First scene:

Like, this feels a little… too on the nose. Knock on wood, Logan, especially when you acknowledge what happened in WTIT.

Second scene, to provide more context on what I want to explain: I can’t just provide screenshots for this, and I can’t attach a video, so please watch DWIT from 29:42-29:55. If you can’t, here’s a transcript:

[Logan: And THAT is precisely why the Duke feels like such a threat. In part, at least. The feeling that you may be a bad person who doesn't have control over yourself or your destiny causes you to fear that you may actually act on these thoughts.]

An important part to denote is that Remus shifts is eyes when Logan says “feelig that you may be a bad person who doesn’t have control over yourself.” There’s something very mischievous and cheeky about that eye shift, from looking directly at Logan and looking away as if saying, well isn’t that hypocritical?

Look at the transcript again, too. Even without Remus’ eyeroll, doesn’t the person Logan describe feel a little… familiar to you? Of course, they all shared the loss of the audition, but think: which of the sides has hinted anger issues (“doesn’t have control over yourself”) and has lost the opportunity to heavily influence Thomas’ life, especially in terms of career (“or your destiny”)?

Of course: Logan.

While Logan is correct in saying intrusive thoughts don’t have real-world impact, Logan is also correct in saying that Patton and Virgil are at fault for reacting intensely against Remus’ funneled intrusive thoughts, causing Thomas’ mental health to dip further.

But Remus does not just invoke fear via horrors that the collective status quo would consider as horror. Remus understands and is perceptive of the other sides and Thomas’ personal fear, just like I established a while ago. And with the way he calls out other sides’ insecurities, sometimes he just... does it, because he wants to. Not just as his role as intrusive thoughts, but possibly just a personal agenda to fulfill.

So, in essence, Remus as intrusive thoughts may not hurt Logan, but Remus as a perceptive, cunning, committed, goal-oriented person still can.

If he sniffs an insecurity out of Logan, would you think he still has no “real-world impact”?

Yeah, thought so.

While I don’t actually know what Remus would want out of Logan, I do think that, at a meta-angle, Remus can provide... a lot of insight and advice for Logan in terms of gaining power and handling mistreatment, whether it would be beneficial for Logan or not.

All I’m gonna say is, Remus’ character is very interesting, and I’m heavily intrigued to know how he would continue bothering the other sides, especially Logan.

I know it wouldn't make sense timeline wise since (I'm assuming) Kaku takes Little Lucky when he first goes to inspect The Merry, so she wouldn't have a chance to know about Usopp getting beat up. But I just died at the thought of Franky finally managing to make it to CP-9's train car and the first thing he gets is an angry four year old who wants to get payback for her friend.

Also, hear me out on this, but have you ever considered a strays au but with Little Lucky? The utter chaos that she and Lizard could cause just from people underestimating them alone is endless. Plus, I think it'd be really cute and sweet for Doll to get to be around someone younger and help ensure their childhood is a happier and healthier one than her own. And neither her or Lizard had friends their own age growing up, I'm crying at how precious it could be for them to play with a little kid; it might be awkward and unnatural at first, but of course Luffy jumps in and everyone's having fun and laughing in less than a minute.

Little Lucky suddenly looking up to Lizard more because she bit a dude's fingers off is also just hilarious to me. Kaku is just trying to slowly cover her eyes because his paternal instincts say, "Hey, maybe this amount of bloodshed and dismemberment isn't the best thing for a small child to witness." Said small child later boasting to Zoro about how Lizard must be stronger than him because, "she doesn't even need a sword to hurt people with her mouth!" Spandam is sorely mistaken if he thinks Fukuro is going to be the only one repeating that story 😂

Kaku does take her when he goes to survey the Going Merry, but Luffy is able to get her back after breaking in to the Galley-La main building, so she does get a chance to find out about what happened. It might be more upsetting this way because she doesn't get a chance to say goodbye to Usopp and she's mad at everyone involved for not finding a way to fix it. Friends are supposed to be able to talk things out! How did it get this bad?!

She spends the duration of the ride to Enies Lobby in Rocketman yelling at the Franky Family and trying to throw hands with them, and when she finally gets to Franky it is on SIGHT. He can't get a word in edgewise without being pelted with rocks from her slingshot or getting kicked and stomped on.

On a similar note, she's with Luffy and Chopper in not being able to tell who Sogeking is. She's sadly telling him how much he reminds her of her friend Usopp while wishing she could see him again because she never even got to say goodbye. It takes everything he has not to out himself, especially when she says she would upgrade him to 'best friend' status if he came back.

Little Lucky in the Strays AU would be so cute oh my god

Lizard is going through intense emotional turmoil upon realizing that there was a child with the Straw Hats and that her father probably would have killed her along with everyone else (he wouldn't have, having a child softened him a bit). Lizard is trying to avoid her because she feels guilty, but Lil Lucky follows her around like a duckling because 'oh new friend!'

She was already getting fond of Lil Lucky by the time they got to Skypeia, but after the Enel incident they are inseparable. Lizard is her personal body guard now, and that quickly grows into her taking on a big sister role. Lucky thinks Lizard is the coolest and always cheers her on when she's committing acts of unspeakable violence.

Doll finds Lil Lucky to be the easiest person to interact with right after joining. Little kids don't notice how awkward she is around people, so she's less self conscious. Doll loves to play with her and indulge in normal childhood things that she didn't get to do growing up.

i don't like where these leaks are heading...especially the part where daeron would be cut from the show. they're going to divide his book plot between aemond and helaena which will validate #those shippers. i will be honest that the show did give hints to a romance between them, but when the alys leaked audition was released i completely thought they scrapped that idea entirely. this is a HUGE change so if this happens, anything can happen. the characters and the plot will be wildly different...most specially aemond. to me it seems they're cutting him to give way for helaena. and sure i agree that it would be good for a mother to get her revenge but aemond would be divided between harrenhal and the reach. this leaves no room for alysmond to develop or happen. it only opens up room for helaena to be the one who has some connection with alys if alys has seer powers too and not aemond. i now fear that they're really making #that ship to happen because it would give aemond and helaena a good reason to commit war crimes and the revenge on daemon to make more sense. another concern is that they'll cut alys and aemond's son because this would mean he already has son who died and was relevant for the greens motivations. they'll just exciuse it because everything ends with aegon the younger's coronation.

i hate thinking about this at all but those writers would like drama like this. i just hope those leaks are dead wrong but these leakers have been reliable thus far

Hi nonnie,

I'm at odds with most of the opinions expressed here. This will be a lengthy post, so buckle up:

First, I don't think the show provided any significant hints about the Helaemond ship. People are citing two instances to back up this claim - the first one is of baby Aemond talking about fulfilling his duty, had his mother betrothed Helaena to him instead of Aegon. The second one is in episode 9 where the older Aemond busts out this incredible line of dialogue: "I am next in line for throne. Should they come looking for me, I intend to be found." Both of these scenes were set up to establish Aemond's primary characteristics which alligns with him being duty-bound all while having great ambitions for the throne. Now, why would Aemond assume that he was next in line for throne when Jaeherys exists? And to that I offer *in D&D's voice*: AeMonD kINd oF fOrGoT aBoUt HIs NepHeWS!

It's a writing discrepancy and you will find many such inconsistencies throughout the series. Right from Laenor's age in episode 1 to episode 5, Alicent warning Aegon in episode 6 and then acting shocked when Otto says the same thing in episode 9, Luke acting self-conscious about his 'bastard' status in episode 8 only to laugh in the face of someone he maimed shortly after; and many more. Most characters have some major inconsistencies that can be attributed to post production rewrites and editing.

It's possible I'm mistaken, but it looks like people generally scoff at this ship beyond Twitter and Tumblr. On Reddit, the majority of comments are cynical or dismissive towards this pairing. Even those who think it might actually be canon have voiced their disappointment with the theory. In response to you mentioning the changes being made in the show, I completely agree - they are not favorable to TG fans. It appears that the narrative is now being heavily biased towards Rhaenyra's side, with the introduction of Dyana and the potential omission of Daeron from the storyline. None of these developments are positive!

Now with Daeron's storyline, I am sure it will be divided between Aemond, Gwayne and Cole in the chance that he is absent from the show. But I am confused as to which arc do you think will be adopted by Helaena here. I don't think they will have her fighting actively besides her brothers in the show either. They may have changed Rhaenyra's character development in Season 1 to make us think that may happen, but I am not sure about Helaena. She's a dreamer: she might serve a larger purpose later when it comes to predicting the Dance or even the possible demise of House Targaryen as they've already introduced Aegon's dream in the show. Other than that, I don't think she'll take part in any battle strategy.

Now this is obviously my point of view but once again, I am open to discussion. If anyone has taken the time to read through this post and wants to share their opinion, please feel free to contribute.

That's all! 🤗

FALSE LOVERS CHAPTER XXII

Quick A/N: this chapter does contain adult themes, although nothing too explicit, couldn't bring myself to write the full thing lol. This was already established in both the disclaimers and the book description but just letting you know :) Anyways sorry for taking a while to update, take this as an apology. I won't be able to update as frequently come September because I have to do college :( I feel old. I'll still update though, of course. It just might take me a week or two between updates.

"T-THIS WAS YOUR DOING...? YOU ARE THE LORD OF CRIMES?!" Adler exclaimed in surprise

"Look.." Albert murmured, his voice gradually growing clearer "Within the circles of the nobles the death of another person is not a reason to stop a party. They only care about themselves." He took a sip of his red wine as (name) took a seat, her chin resting against her fist "At first I had to throw up all the time but I got used to it..to the point I can now drink a glass of wine after a murder in peace."

'Or maybe because you're an alcoholic in denial..'

(Name) sighed, evidently bored after the Barons death as Albert continued his almost Shakespearean dramatic monologue.

"Even (name) here is bored after poisoning a man because of how she is used to these practices." Albert trailed off as Adler watched them with deep and genuine concern. "What I am trying to say is..the death of a single nobleman has no impact on the nobility itself. You could execute countless nobles and the rest would not care whatsoever."

(Name) looked down at the nobles. Some were dancing other were conversing as if there wasn't a dead body in their presence. Their frivolous lifestyles could be acceptable to an extent but this was clearly crossing the line of what was acceptable. Obviously, dancing after a death of a man was not ethical in the slightest, but what would she know about ethics? She was married to the lord of crime.

Speaking of marriage, after the recent increase in rumours regarding her marriage, she couldn't help but feel anxious as she tried to think of some sort of plan. Was William aware of this? Oh, why would he care? It wasn't as if he needed (name) to produce an offspring nor could he care less about her in terms of her being his wife.

She could easily have the creator of the rumours killed, but it wasn't about people spreading it but the very notion that there was something...wrong... with her. That wasn't to say (name) believed women who suffered with infertility were wrong, but rather she knew that she likely was not infertile and therefore, these rumours were misinformation, and (name) despised misinformation.

"The word nobility doesn't refer to the people themselves," (name) eventually spoke after being silent in thought for so long "but it is more so referring to the very concept that they uphold, the aristocracy."

"Martina Meyer.." The brunette whispered the name "You and I...were perusing the same goal, aren't we?"

Well this was certainly familiar..It had reminded (name) of her own marriage proposal, except with less guns and magnetic forces between individuals.

'These people know my past..!'

"Martina, just like you, was born from a commoners background and was to be your successor as a Prima Donna...but then she suddenly committed suicide and someone of higher status succeeded her.." Albert said as Adler averted her gaze, looking down onto the dancing nobles. "The assumption was that she committed suicide because the pressure of the lead role was too much for her to handle. But in reality she was murdered because she was a commoner..partially also due to not being as talented as you are.."

(Name) stood up with a stern expression. She brushed a stray strand of hair/braid/lock away from her face with her gloved hand. Adler clenched her teeth.

"You're currently working as a courtesan here, aren't you?" (Name) asked although she already knew the answer. Bright blue eyes widened in surprise "You utilities your feminine weapons to find and exploit the weak spots of those in power. Don't worry, I've been in such a position too. It's a means of protection for yourself and others..blackmailing is quite powerful, isn't it?"

Adler opened her mouth to speak for a moment, but no words could come out. Her throat was dry and she felt as though she was backed against a wall.

"We have to reform this country from the roots,all the way to the top!" Albert dramatically held a glass of wine as he gazed down below "to use false flags to open the public's eyes and turn the class system into a free society...those are our goals!"

'I wonder what William's doing at the moment..' (name) wondered as she put a hand to her cheek, resting her back against a pillar.

"Please indulge me..to keep the lower class class in check, the nobility keeps a low profile among the people, but if their crimes were made public the people would notice all their misdeeds committed upon them. One could try to create a society based on merit instead of right of blood..if one truly desires to change the world, then I believe the only way to do this is through crimes...effort is futile in this society..This world that leaves effort unrewarded, I want to end with my generation, doesn't it sound wonderful?"

"We've taken enough of your time," (name) interrupted, feeling both a strange kind of exhaustion and agitation as she was ready to excuse herself. "Five o'clock before dawn, (that would be about 7 hours from then) the church at the end of the north road in Hoxton. We will wait for you in the chapel." She said, walking towards the staircase with Albert before he could start on another ramble of thoughts. Someone should get him into a philosophy class, (name) thought. "You haven't much time left, think it over well."

"B-But, what if Holmes suspects something..?" Adler stuttered

"Just tell him you reached an agreement with the government. It wouldn't be too far fetched." Albert offered his advice as they departed

(Name) slowly walked through the hallway, contemplating various methods to stop the rumours that seemed to be running wild in high society. If she directly spoke of them, it would put her own reputation in jeopardy and it would be more suspicious.

She had just left the ball, but had to leave a little later than albert which gave him time to give William his report on the events that evening. She had stayed a little to speak to Arabella who had offered to help trace the rumours for her but she had no interest in doing so. There only thing she could possibly do would be to prove these rumours wrong.

If she was supposedly infertile and told everyone that she was not, but still spoke of her love with her husband, then it would only confirm the rumours. If nothing was done, one of two conclusions would be drawn by London's elite. Either she was infertile and could not have children, which would not only fuel more rumours of William possibly having a mistress but could also put the entire (last name) family at risk.

In addition to that, the noblewomen who believed that a foreigner, no matter how high in status, would try approach William and possibly make him uncomfortable. (Name) couldn't have that happening.

If anyone thought their marriage was an unhappy one, and word travels fast when the nobility makes up less than 3% of Britain's population, then there would be suspicions in regard to why they married so quickly in the first place.

If anyone were to find out about their contractual marriage, (name) was done for. Not only that, but also the whole plan William had made to dismantle the class system would be essentially ruined.

'What could possibly be done to avoid such a scandal from arising..?'

(Name) already knew the answer but she refused to resort to it. She could possibly...did she even feel attraction to him..? Well she had grown to become comfortable with the idea that she may but it was strictly physical. It didn't change the fact that she hated him..but it was her only solution..

‘no, the gossip will die down anyways, that’s certain…’

(Name) snapped out of her thoughts. She looked up, tearing her eyes away from the ground to see William entering his bedroom, likely to get something to take back to his office. He clearly wasn't in the right mind to sleep despite the hour. His eyes were slightly tired, although they shimmered so beautifully in the moon light illuminating the halls. His hair was slightly messy, but clearly still as soft as usual. William's disheveled appearance was a rarity, but also something that anyone who could appreciate beauty, would cherish.

William's eyes almost lit up as he stood before the equally stressed (name), then grew slightly concerned "(Name)? How was the ball? Did everything go to plan? You didn't face any issues, did you mfh—!”

He was cut off by (name) tugging at his tie, pulling him in for a kiss as she slowly backed into William's room, through the door way. A soft gasp could be heard in the silent corridors. The blond was quick to reciprocate albeit surprised, snaking an arm around her waist and pulling (name) close to him causing her body to press against his, hesitant to allow himself to roam his hands over her body further.

A soft groan escaped his lips, William couldn't help but feel intoxicated by the woman. Perhaps it was the very faint and subtle taste of wine on her lips, but everything about her had left him wanting more, much more. After the last time she had caught him off guard with a kiss, he had felt so flustered that he couldn't face anyone for a while afterwards. If he were to receive more, he didn't know how overwhelmed he'd feel.

And yet there was something so comfortable with (name)'s lips against his, slowly moving his feet in time with hers as if they were dancing, she did look the part after all. (Name) reached over to shut the door, locking it shut, then retreating her hand to rest in his hair. She pulled him in closer, deepening the kiss as William's eyelashes fluttered, shutting his eyes slowly.

Her teeth gently bit down on his bottom lip, making William to moan quietly into (name)'s mouth as he parted his lips, allowing their tongues to intertwine. He squeezed gently on (name)'s waist through the fabric of her dress, causing her to tug on his blond locks roughly eliciting another sound from her husband.

(Name) reached her fingers down to his lower torso, unbuttoning his waistcoat and sliding it off as they continued. A pale hand reached over to the bed post, fingers clenching around the wooden surface, usually subtle veins pulsing against soft skin, in order for the male to keep himself composed. (Name) moved a hands to press against his chest, allowing the blond to fall down onto the bed, his back pressed against the soft mattress.

His mind was clouded, as usual when it came to (name). William's thoughts often became full of her. Her voice, her face, her figure..everything. (Name) pulled away as she climbed onto him, her hands still on him, although not moving.

"We shouldn't be doing this, should we?" She whispered, her brow furrowed in concern.

The sentence held multiple meanings. For one, she saw it as a breach of contract although there wasn't anything specific about private intimate relations but it was assumed that such activities wouldn't occur. Another reason for her hesitance would be that she felt so conflicted ever since this attraction to William had come to the surface. She was meant to be his rival, even if the title had faded a bit since their graduation, and rivals did not show affection to one another.

William reached his left hand up to cup (name)'s cheek, bringing her face closer to his, their breath mixing and their hearts beating together at a rapid pace. "Then tell me you want to stop and that can be the end of it."

(Name) shook her head, her face slightly hesitant. "no..I want to...as long as you're okay with it, of course."

William reached his hand over to her upper back, his fingers dancing around the exposed skin as (name)'s breath hitched and finally taking the zipper, ready to pull it down. "(Name), my angel, do you not realise I would love nothing more than to make love to you?" He pulled the zipper down at an excruciatingly slow pace, leaving it half way "Although I would appreciate knowing what brought this sudden burst of affection about.." he trailed off

"Let's just say I wish to consummate this marriage for the sake of both our futures and plans…after hearing a few rude rumours at the ball, I couldn't help but-" she paused, her voice almost completely silent, trying to find the right words to say. Her hand was resting against the side of William's cheek, who lifted her right hand over to his lips, the looser parts of the fabric on the finger of her glove taken between his teeth so (name) could pull off her silky red glove, and then remove the left one as her right hand reached over to his loosened red tie. "You understand, don't you?"

"When have I ever not understood?" There was a hint of smugness in his words, but he was right. Even if it had felt like for the longest time, (name) was alone in her thoughts, William would always be there to understand, even if it was difficult.

With a deft motion of his nimble fingers, William pulled down the zipper on the back of (name)'s dress, slowly sliding the garment down her figure. A wave of nervousness had washed over her for a second but was quickly cut off by William pressing his lips to hers, noticing her hesitation, as if reassuring her this was all fine.

He pulled away with almost swollen lips, whispering as he looked up and down (name)'s half clothed body, his expression mesmerised. "You're so beautiful, (name)..every part of you.”

Her face flushed for a moment, usually her brows would have furrowed she'd avert her gaze, muttering some sort of response through her embarrassment. She had been called beautiful before, usually by disturbing older men, but when William called her that, there was a strange fluttery feeling running through her veins. But instead of getting visibly embarrassed, she leaned down to kiss him once more, their hands entangled.

William pulled a hand away to bring itself to (name)'s back once more, pulling her body closer against his. His wife rested her face in the crook of his neck, pressing kisses to the exposed skin followed by little red stains, which eventually grew into soft nibbles and then eventually a harsh bite on his neck.

"A-Ah...(name).." the blond moaned quietly, although the pitch of his voice was much higher than usual, as she unbuttoned his shirt, her eagerness giving away her desire to have him all to herself. The sensation of her teeth grazing against his skin was exhilarating. William’s hands desperately reached to (name)’s thighs, gripping at the skin above her stockings to keep himself from completely submitting to her bewitchment.

With a satisfied smile she removed the crumpling shirt, ready to continue as her hands roamed over his chest, William's grasping restlessly to unlace her corset with a whimper. (Name)'s smile widened at the sight of such a calm man looking (and sounding) so erotic. His forehead had already grown slightly sweaty and his hair was even more of a mess than earlier. His face flushed pink. His pupils were more dilated than usual and his bottom lip was quivering if not bitten.

"We must make haste, sweet William, and although I do wish to take it easy, we do have business to attend to in a few hours, that’s alright with you, isn’t it?” She asked to which he nodded meekly.

(Name) had awoken with a groan a few hours later, almost instantly recollecting the events moments prior. Heat rose to her cheeks as her hand rose to her mouth, mostly in surprise at what she had done but now having to deal with the consequences of her irrational behaviour.

As if to make matters worse, she had only then realised that there was the sound of soft snoring beside her, the body so close she could hear its heartbeat in rhythm with hers.

“That was amazing—..Are you not going to leave?”

(Name) looked at Theodore in confusion as he lay back down in his bed from previously hovering above her. Could he not at least give her a moment to change into appropriate attire?

“But I’m tired..I’ll leave in a few moments, I promise,” She negotiated.

She had only agreed to engage in such an act with Theodore so she would have the opportunity to explore his family residence, and even if she wasn’t making quite the risk just for a personal mission, this was certainly no way to treat a lady after ‘deflowering’ her. He was going to make it so much easier for her to kill him.

The noirette groaned and rolled his eyes as he turned on his side, away from (name) who had sat up beside him. “If you insist…be quick about it though. We don’t need to get caught by a stupid maid or something. Out the window, not the door.” He instructed clearly annoyed at the teenager who could only look at him dumbfounded. Love certainly didn’t seem to exist amongst the nobility if they were all like this. How many women had this bastard been with anyways?

“Right..” she muttered, wincing as she stood up, collecting her garments to quickly put on before leaving. She had looked a mess and felt so internally too. (Brothers name) wouldn’t have wanted this. Thankfully Theodore was usually quite discreet with his relationships so her peers wouldn’t know, she had one individual in particular she would rather not know of the encounter.

He turned over to look at the girl once more before he dosed off, completely bare. He seemed to have remembered to tell her something. “Oh, almost forgot. You’ve gotten chubbier since we first met, (last name). Make sure to lay off the teatime snacks, hm?” He hummed, somewhat mockingly.

(Name) had felt strangely hurt by the comment but nodded before taking off through the window, despite initially wishing to stay.

She could see, although her vision was still adjusting, a tuft of blond hair, somewhat covered by her own, brushing against her upper neck as she lay on her back. So that was why the snores sounded so clear, and loud despite being so gentle. (Name) had felt the urge to take off to her own room, maybe scream into a pillow if she had the chance, but those thoughts were quickly put to a halt when she heard a murmur of her name against her neck.

Lying beside another person was always quite a vulnerable position to be in, and even more so after committing such an act, so to be beside William in state like hers felt..foreign, as ironic as that was. She moved over slightly, allowing William some space but was quickly brought back with an arm around her waist.

"Don't leave.." the blond managed to say, his voice hoarse and tired. His eyes were still shut but he was clearly awake. (Name) kissed the top of his head hesitantly, bringing a finger to trace around a newly former bruise on the man's neck. She felt a groan tickle against her skin, prompting William to open his eyes and look into (name)'s.

She hadn't notice until that night how truly beautiful his eyes were up close. They were always very nice but to see them in such detail was so endearing. She hadn't seen anyone with red eyes before but then again, William was always quite unusual and so was his appearance, in a strangely gorgeous sort of way, of course.

He lifted his head up so his chin rested against her collarbone. (Name)'s brought her hand to his face, cupping his cheek as she wiped his lips with her thumb. "Are you feeling alright? I didn't hurt you, did I?" She asked

William gave her a nod "I'm fine..are you?"

She repeated the motion, running her fingers through his hair affectionately, earning a smile from her husband who leaned into her touch. "Are you sure you haven't ever..." she paused "...before?"

"Why? Was I that good in your eyes?" He asked teasingly

"Perhaps..I find it hard to believe you hadn't at least tried earlier in your youth..most boys would have, especially given the freedom of university." (Name) said, reminiscing all the times she had seen the boys at university sneaking random women away. She hadn't stayed in one of the dorms because as a woman, there were none available. She was grateful to an extent. God knows what would have went on in those dormitories.

"You think I'm a rake of some sort?" William asked as he tilted his head in both curiosity and amusement

"Well, most of my initial thoughts of you have been proven wrong some time ago. I suppose that's one of the few things I've ever been wrong about." She said with a mischievous smile "But you certainly did surprise me, especially when you—"

(Name) was cut off by William pressing his lips to hers, then pulling away with a slightly flustered smile. The tips of his ears were pink and his face was a little flushed in embarrassment, daresay, it was almost cute.

“You did say we have business to attend to, didn’t you, dear?” William asked as he sat up, causing (name) to do the same. He kissed her forehead gently. “I’ll help clean you up and then we should be off, alright?”

Later that morning, after securing Irene Adler and witnessing a clever stunt pulled by none other than Sherlock Holmes, (name), William, Albert, Louis and Irene Alder had all visited Director Holmes to confirm the ‘success’ of their mission.

Following William’s dissection of the special document, in which was written that the British had an involvement in the French Revolution, as if it were a social experiment to find out what would happen following an abolishing of the monarchy, the ‘James Moriarty’ team had revealed themselves and their plans as the lord of crimes, which had obviously included (name) who was yet to make an appearance.

“Indeed, our final act will be like Robespierre’s.” William concluded, a fist to his chest in patriotic allegiance “We alone shall be the Authors of our demise”

“That is our plan, Director Holmes. What do you say?” Albert asked, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

Mycroft sighed at the brothers. “First you use my brother to expose the corruption of the nobility, then you set yourselves up as a common enemy for this nation..this plan shall only come into fruition with the greatest sacrifices from you, but this is something the three of you are capable of..your resolution to sacrifice yourselves for this country is quite patriotic, I cannot deny that..” He clenched his fist “I will tolerate as long as it is in the interest of Great Britain..in other words, as soon as I have found you have betrayed this trust and misused your privileges, I will be the one to personally annihilate you! That you can be sure of! And as for you—!”

As if a paranormal being had appeared from behind him, The Director instinctively turned around to see a familiar woman brushing her hand over a short bookcase as she walked towards the group.

“Of course you’re involved, (Name) (Last name),” He glared at the noblewoman who smirked in response.

“It’s been a while, Director Holmes.”

Part Two - SimPE & Milkshape Boogaloo

Step Twelve - Give your object a unique GUID.

As soon as you've saved your mesh, it'll open in SimPE to a screen that looks just like this. If this is your first time converting anything, this is pretty overwhelming and a little bit intimidating, but don't freak out yet. Very little of this is actually going to be edited. And SimPE is generous enough to automatically start you out with the Object Data Editor in the "Plugin View" Window.

If by chance you click something and the plugin view changes, you can also get to this panel by choosing "Object Data (OBJD)" in the Resource Tree.

Most old tutorials are going to tell you to register for a unique GUID in the GUID database... but this resource has gone the way of the Dodo bird and is long extinct. Not to worry, SimPE has you covered.

Go to Tools > Object Tools > Hash Generator...

A small window will pop up. The first line of it reads "String." This is the name of your saved mesh file. If you named it well when first saving your clone, the name will be unique enough that there's next to no chance of having a matching GUID with another object. If you didn't name your save file well... like, for instance, let's say I named my save file "chair" with the intention of changing its name later... the GUID the hash generator creates is undoubtedly going to conflict with something out there, because inevitably someone somewhere generated a GUID for "chair" already.

The Sims cannot handle more than one object having the same GUID. The files conflict and chaos happens. If you forget to give your item a unique GUID entirely, the game will try to override the actual game object itself... in this case, the Tea Party in Teak chair. You don't want that happening, but you especially don't want it happening to others' games if you share what you make.

So first and foremost, give your object its very own GUID.

If you don't feel your initial save name is unique enough, you can add on to the String name. The Hash Value will be adjusted with each letter or character you include, and it won't change your actual saved file's name at all.

Keep the setting on CRC 24, and your unique GUID will appear in the Hash Value field. In the case of this chair, my unique GUID is 0x00E8D33D. Copy the Hash Value, close the Hash Generator, and paste the generated GUID in the GUID field in the Object Data Editor.

Once you've pasted your GUID into the field, check the box next to "update all MMATs" and then click "Update." Once I've done that, I often change the Filename to the object I'm converting. And then hit "Commit."

A few further tips about this panel:

Catalog Sort is exactly what it sounds like. It's how your item is going to be sorted and where it can be found in the object catalog. For my dining chair, it's already sorted where I want it and where it makes sense. Sometimes though, it's worth changing. For example, if I had cloned a kid-like dining chair, it might not make sense for a dining room or a kitchen, so I'd uncheck those and check "Kids" instead. Maybe I don't want that chair showing up with all the other dining chairs, because it only makes sense in a child's room, so where the "Overall Sort:" menu is, I'd select General / Child instead of Seating / Diningroom.

This can be especially relevant for deco objects. Maybe you converted a bunch of bathroom deco, like soap bottles and shampoo. They're essentially just statues, but they make most sense in a bathroom setting. So instead of leaving them in statues, maybe you put them in Plumbing / Miscellaneous. Don't feel like just because you cloned one object, the object your making has to stay where that cloned object was.

If you click over to RAW Data, change over to "Decimal," and then go down to 0x0022: sale price, you can adjust whether or not your object is quarter-tile enabled. Enter "35" in the field, click enter, and then "Commit." Now your object is quarter-tile enabled.

I don't know why it works, but it does.

Step Thirteen - Update your textures.

On the Resource Tree, choose the option that says "Texture Image (TXTR)." In the resource list, there are often times more than one image. Sometimes there are shadow files and whatnot, but what we're interested in right now is the main texture image. In the case of my chair, the texture name is "white_TXTR" and when I click on it, it looks like this:

Right-click on the image and choose "Build DXT..."

A DDS Builder window will pop up.

Under "Format," I almost always use DXT3Format. DXT1Format will reduce the quality of your textures, while DXT5Format is really only necessary for some CAS things and opaque gradient kind of stuff in objects. For the most part, DXT3 will get the job done, so I recommend using that 99% of the time. And for the 1% where DXT5 makes sense... chances are you'll know 3 isn't enough when you preview it.

For "Sharpen," the default will be "Smoothen", but always change it to "None." Leave the "Filter" field unchecked. Once you've done that, choose "open," navigate to your mesh texture, select it, and then choose "Build."

Your new texture will load in the plugin view window. Click "Commit."

Step Fourteen - Replacing the mesh.

In the resource tree panel, select "Geometric Data Container (GMDC)." Then, in the resource list, highlight the name. This will bring up the "Generic Rcol Editor" in the plugin view.

Choose "Export."

A "save" window will pop up asking you to name the file you're exporting. I never change the name, and just select "save," but you can rename it to something else if it makes it clearer to you, like "old mesh" or something. Give it a name, hit save, and now, it's time to open Milkshape.

Step Fifteen - Launch Milkshape and Import the Maxis mesh.

Once Milkshape has loaded, go to File > Import > Wavefront OBJ...

An "open" window will open. Select the mesh that you just exported from SimPE and choose "open." The four windows of Milkshape will now show the Tea Party in Teak mesh I extracted from SimPe.

If I highlight the "Groups" tab on the left hand panel, I can see that this mesh currently has a name of "chair."

Next, I want to go back to File > Import > Wavefront OBJ... and this time, I want to select my "mesh" file that I exported from Blender.

My Sims 4 mesh has been given the name of "default" in that right hand panel. For the purpose of this tutorial, I'm not going to rename it because it's not necessary, but if you were dealing with a mesh that had multiple parts to it or separate subsets, you would need to rename each part of the mesh before loading the next part.

Now, as you can see from the above image, the Sims 2 mesh is gray while the one from Blender is black. I want it to be gray too, so I go to Face > Smooth All.

And just like that... it's gray too!

Now, I'm going to select my new mesh. I do this by highlighting "default" and choosing the "Select" button under the Groups tab.

My new mesh will turn red like above, and that's a good thing. From here, I select the "Model" tab in the right-hand panel, and choose "Move."

By clicking and dragging the mesh, I am able to line up the new mesh with the old mesh. This is a very vital step. If I don't adjust the mesh to match the Maxis one, the chair will be floating midair in game.

You want to line these things up so they are right on top of each other and the seats are directly in line. If the seats are at the same height, you'll avoid Sims floating off the seat or sinking into it by clipping.

Something like this is exactly what you want.

Go back over to the right-side panel, highlight the "Groups" tab again, and select "chair." Then choose "Delete." You can also delete the file you exported from SimPE.

Then go to File > Export > Wavefront OBJ...

And you'll be prompted to give your mesh a name. I just keep mine as "mesh." If you do that too, it'll ask if you want to replace the old file, choose "yes." You can now close Milkshape.

Step Sixteen - Import your new mesh.

Go back to SimPE. You should still be in the GMDC, Generic Rcol Editor. Beside the Export button that you chose before, you'll find "Import." Choose "Import" now.

A window will come up asking you to choose which file you're importing. Select the "mesh" file you just exported from Milkshape.

On the right hand panel, find where it says "Action" and choose "Replace." A new menu will appear beneath "Replace" once it's selected. Choose "chair," since "chair" was the name of the Maxis mesh/subset. Once you've selected both "Replace" and "chair," select OK.

At this point, I like to select "Preview" to make sure everything looks right. Once I've viewed it in the preview window, select "Commit."

Step Seventeen - Fix Integrity, just in case.

Go to Tools > Object Tools > Fix Integrity.

I hit update, even when I'm not changing any of the file names. Regardless, hit OK.

Step Eighteen - Save.

Congratulations! You've just converted an object from Sims 4. Pop that puppy into your Downloads folder, boot up the game, and check out your mesh in Sims 2.

Make your recolors, compressorize your files, and share your creation!

A few additional tips and tricks:

If your object has white borders surrounding parts that are meant to be invisible (like surrounding leaves on a plant, for instance) click on the Material Definition (TXMT). Select the layer of the mesh that has the leaves or white boxes, click on "stdMatAlphaTestEnabled" and change the Value from 0 to 1. Commit. The white boxes are gone.

From @lafeeverte-sims: "you can batch export stuff from an item in s4s if you bring up the cheat console (ctrl shift c) and type studio.exportall ; it's gonna create a folder for you too, many files you can just delete since it exports everything, but i prefer this when theres a lot of swatches :)"

If I think of any additional tips, I'll add them here. This tutorial doesn't cover all the things, obviously, but it should be enough to get you started, and once you start, a lot of the rest will come naturally. In the future, there may be additional tutorials, but this should start you on your conversion path. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask! If it's something I can help with, I absolutely will.

Last but certainly not least...

There are a lot of layers to The Kiss, but one is the connection to Crowley’s simplistic conception of what it means for humans to be In Love. He says, when scheming about getting Nina and Maggie together: “one fabulous kiss and we’re good” and “vavoom, sorted”. He’s imagining a romantic movie where a kiss is the be-all-end-all, the solution to all conflict, a magical mode of communication wherein two people automatically understand each other from now on, and a definitive signifier that Love has Happened.

This is how he imagines human love. I think he’s always considered his relationship with Aziraphale much more complex and precious than anything a couple of humans could do, what with their longevity disadvantage and limited understanding of the universe. I think he started falling for Aziraphale at “I gave it away!”, and never stopped; nor did he ever really try to resist that pull. I think he has recognized his feelings for Aziraphale for a long time, even if he hasn’t always acknowledged them outright—largely because he knew Aziraphale had some serious fear-based hang ups and would have been uncomfortable, and because their relationship has always been forbidden and dangerous to them both.

So then we come to that scene where Nina tells him “it certainly looks like that”. I don’t think the part of this interaction that rocks Crowley’s world is a sudden realization of his feelings—he knows he’s got feelings, to a degree that they sometimes get him into trouble—it’s the idea that those feelings could be translated into human terms. It’s that final remark: “other people’s love lives always seem so much more straightforward than our own”. He considers his situation so much more complicated than a human relationship, and in that moment he thinks…what if it isn’t. What if I’ve been rescuing him when he doesn’t strictly need it just for an excuse to be near him, indulging his pretenses of plausible deniability, getting all tangled up worrying about what heaven and hell will think, (and even now continuing to live in my damn car in the hope that he might invite me to move in in his own time), and it could all just be…vavoom, sorted? Could it be that simple?

Now fast-forward to That Scene. Aziraphale thinks he has just told Crowley: “I can restore you to the status you deserve, and now everyone will recognize the goodness I’ve always seen in you.” But Crowley’s just heard, “we can be together, as long as you change into someone else.”

I could write a whole essay on everything that might have been said to make this conversation go differently (and on all the character insight revealed by the way it does go--as many people have already done), but at this point Crowley is absolutely hemorrhaging emotion, and he tries, but he’s failing to reason with Aziraphale or explain why this hurts so much, and he invokes the example of Gabriel and Beelzebub, and it doesn’t work, and they’re talking at cross purposes, and Aziraphale still doesn’t get it, and things are spiraling out of control, and Crowley thinks, desperately: maybe the human way will work.

The timing is completely wrong. The approach is completely wrong. He kisses Aziraphale, and it’s not romantic at all; it’s full of anger and hurt and desperate, desperate hope that this might somehow fix everything, like "in a Richard Curtis film". And Crowley can feel it not working, can feel Aziraphale tense and confused, and they’re not falling into each other’s arms in sudden understanding, but he keeps his grip, holds on tight, trying to insist that this should fix it. He gambled on a human fantasy as a panacea, and he hangs on so long because he knows he’s losing the bet.

I first saw the kiss scene before watching S2 (after the season had been out for several days though; I didn't know about the leak) (I deliberately went looking for spoilers to make sure it was gay enough before I committed—I was a Sherlock fan; don’t @ me), and my initial reaction was: how could Crowley be so cruel. To squander something so precious as their first kiss, and use it to convey hurt rather than love. To know Aziraphale is struggling with a choice, and to try to use how they feel about each other against him. But after watching the show properly, I no longer think it was manipulative (though Aziraphale may have taken it that way)— just misguided. Just inept, and desperate, and so, so ill-advised.

i understand they're upset about how people conveniently call rhaena and baela 'velaryons' despite being daemon's daughters so their surname is actually targaryen

But i do actually want to hear your thoughts on this twitter thread about how the twins being cheated out of an inheritance of Driftmark is false because corlys and laenor already agreed to naming luke heir of driftmark and never renouncing him as a bastard.

(i hope your inbox isn't too full, thank you for being an awesome blogger and giving such thoughtful answers!)

First off, thank you for your appreciation, I am grateful you guys put so much faith in me to provide you with ammunition against these bad takes. 😅

The thing about women inheriting is not that they're prohibited, it's that they just get shoved to the back of the line, but they can and do inherit - remember: a daughter comes before an uncle. So everything about the Velaryon succession goes through Corlys. Laenor is his heir, but he has no true children. So, had Laenor not "died", his inheritance should have gone to Laena, because she is next in line. Laena is not disinherited just because she gets married, lol. Daemon is immaterial in this conversation. Thus, Laena's heir is Baela and, after that, Rhaena. The girls are not skipped just because they're girls or because their father is not a Velaryon, that's not how this happens, it's the law. And, in instances where it does occur, it's a violation of the law (for whatever reason).

I don't know why they keep focusing on the surnames, though, since surname change is not unheard of and even happens in the lore. Joffrey Lidden became King of the Rock after marrying the previous King's daughter and taking the surname Lannister. Even in the show, Corlys and Viserys debate this very issue! Viserys decides that Jace will bear the surname Velaryon until he becomes King, after which he will change his surname to Targaryen. The fact is, had Baela or Rhaena become Lady of Driftmark, they could have just taken Velaryon, their mother's surname. Team black just pretend this option doesn't exist because it contradicts their arguments. But in their quest to defend Rhaenyra, they only end up skipping over other women's inheritance rights (much like Rhaenyra herself).

So let's make a pitstop by our favourite problematic family to see how that looks like in practice. When Tywin dies, Jaime cannot inherit, as he's a Kingsguard. Tyrion is disqualified from inheriting since he's a wanted criminal who committed actual patricide, killing the former Lord of Casterly Rock. Killing someone after whom you stand to inherit is, for obvious reasons, a big no-no. So what happens? Well, my friends, it will come as no shock to learn that Cersei is styled as the new Lady of the Rock in AFFC and ADWD. She is the one who inherits, not Kevan, even though she's a woman, even though she's the queen. She hasn't relinquished it to Kevan, even though she could have. So, if something were to happen to Cersei, Tommen would inherit the Rock from her. A Baratheon. Shock and horror.

Ofc, there are legal subterfuges one could employ, same as with Baela and Rhaena. Tommen could pass over the Rock to Myrcella, since he's the King already and he can't reasonably be expected to fulfill two jobs and it would also be in his interest to keep the Lannisters happy. So a blonde Myrcella who takes on the Lannister surname could be a solution.

Certainly, we, as readers, know that is not going to happen, since they're doomed, so the Rock is going down the family line to Kevan's branch. Kevan is dead and Lancel is doomed, too, but he still has two living children left: Martyn and Janei. Martyn is a squire, so, if he dies in the war, Janei might as well be the next Lady of the Rock. She has to die first before it could pass to Genna's branch of FREYS. That's if GRRM doesn't decide to resurrect Tyrek somehow.

Anyway, to come back to Corlys and Laenor, this is the law and they cannot do as they please without breaking it. That's the long and short of it. It is not textbook legal for you to pick your own heir. Tywin really REALLY wants to disinherit Tyrion and prohibit him from getting the Rock, but he can't, and it makes him real mad. His grandson is King, he has the connections, but it's illegal. Tyrion is only legally disinherited because he kills his own father. So, what Corlys and Laenor want is absolutely irrelevant. You can't disinherit someone just because you don't like them or because you want to. Corlys and Laenor are screwing over their House and their trueborn relatives, Corlys because of his personal vanity and Laenor because he is careless and irresponsible. Laena played by the rules and had legitimate daughters, yet she and their daughters' rights are sacrificed for these two men.

Not to mention that later Corlys prefers to have one of his bastards legitimised instead of letting Driftmark pass to Baela.

“Come now darling, lean into the drama! A little more flair won’t hurt anybody~”

All credit for the og sprite belongs to the Twisted Wonderland team and Yana Toboso! The info template belongs to @unfinished-projects-galore here on tumblr!

(More info under the cut)

Now that I’m taking a break from Morrigan’s designs, here’s a non-student oc that I’ve recently come up with! I’m not gonna lie, I was really inspired by this adorable CrewelxReader fic! It’s super cute 🤧

Crewel is one of my favourite non-student characters so I’m indulging a bit. It was also completely coincidental that Stella and Yuri have similar hair and eye colours! I didn’t realize it until I had already committed to Stella’s design 🙃

Anywho, here’s some info about Stella!

Stella is inspired by Estella Von Hellman; Cruella’s meeker personality from the 2021 live action Cruella

I chose Estella because I thought she would be a nice complimentary character to Crewel

Stella Crewel is Divus Crewel’s wife and business partner

Stella is usually a soft spoken and gentle woman. She can sometimes come off as shy at first, though in reality she prefers to step away from the spotlight unless it’s necessary.

However, this doesn’t mean Stella is a pushover or insecure. Shes actually very confident in herself, her position, and her abilities. She is more than willing to put someone in their place if they’re out of line, it’s just that she isn’t as impulsive as you might expect.

Stella is known to hide threats and insults behind sweet words and passive aggressive comments which tends to throw off people who don’t know her well.

Stella is also known to be an exceptional designer who’s often praised for her work, though she isn’t egocentric. While her visions almost always turn out how she wants them, Stella is humble enough to admit when something doesn’t work out.

I think the idea of Crewel having a fashion brand is very fitting for him, especially if the brand was established prior to him becoming a teacher.

Stella and Crewel originally split most of the work for the brand since they started it together. Now that Crewel is teaching at NRC, Stella primarily looks over things

Stella was born and raised in the Queendom of Roses, though like Epel, was raised in a small village rather than a bigger town.

I don’t have a name in mind for this little village but I imagine it’s a port town located near the edges of one of the island that make up the Queendom

The village is also rather poor, or at least poorer than say the town Riddle and Trey grew up in.

Because of this, Stella had very little growing up, though it’s made her learn to work hard for what she wants and to appreciate what she has.

Stella didn’t meet Crewel until after she moved out of her village when she was in her early teens.

Stella claims to have gone to a coed mage school that had boarding for the students.

She thinks the idea of gendered boarding schools are odd. This is likely because she’s always attended coed schools.

I don’t have a name for Stella’s mage school (I can’t think of a good one) but I imagine it’s a smaller school similar to Noble Bell College.

I imagine that there may be a “historical figure” based off Cruella di Ville (or maybe even the Baroness from the live action movie).

The statue would serve the same purpose as the Greate Seven statues at NRC or the "Jester Judge" statue at NBC.

Aside from its focus on teaching mages to control their magic, this particular school also has a big focus on fashion and the arts

A lot of alumni from this mage school go on to be well known in the arts, whether it’s fine arts, theater, fashion design, etc.

Stella was top of her classes while at school

Stella prefers to have a few good friends than have a lot of superficial friends

Aside from her husband, she only really has four close friends. Two of them are childhood friends from her original village (TWST!Jasper and TWST!Horace), one is a friend she made when she moved to the city (TWST!Anita Darling), and one is a friend she made while attending mage school (TWST!Artie)

Stella overall has a “quality is better than quantity” mentality. She’d rather have or make things that are good quality even if there isn’t much of it, than have/make a large quantity of things that are of poor quality.

Stella has alluded to knowing skills like lock picking and even pick pocketing, skills she likely learned in her early childhood.

While Stella primarily takes care of the fashion brand while Crewel is teaching, she will sometimes substitute for him if need be

I can’t imagine that Crewel would call out often. He gives me the impression that he knows what he wants from his students and has a certain way of doing things that he doesn’t trust others to accomplish successfully.

He’d much rather have a meeting rescheduled or push through like a mild cold than figure out sub plans 💀

BUT, on the rare occasion that Stella convinces Crewel to take a break and find a sub, she’s usually the one he asks to take over for him

Stella has only covered for Crewel a small handful of times, so many NRC students don’t know that Crewel is married.

It was Stella’s idea to invite Yuri to stay with them during holiday breaks following Jamil’s overblot

It wasn’t until Stella and Yuri were standing next to each other that Crewel realized how much they look alike

Ngl I think it would be really funny if Yuri was mistaken as Stella and Crewel’s kid, especially b/c I love the idea of Crewel being Yuu/the MC’s unintentional father figure 🤧

Stella is the one who dyed the white half of Crewel’s hair. They have little spa nights that include root touch ups for Crewel 💕

Stella and Crewel have three Dalmatians named Louis, Parada, and Versace. Louise was Stella’s dog prior to the marriage while Parada and Versace were Crewel’s dogs.

Louis is a mama’s boy and is the most sociable of the three dogs. Parada and Versace are Crewel’s little princesses 💕

Let me have dog dad Crewel, it would be so cute 😭💕

And here she is! So fun fact, when I was coming up with Stella’s base sprite I kind of Frankensteined Leona, Epel, and Vil’s sprites. I like the position of Leona’s arms and Vil’s legs, but I liked Epel more as a starting point. Stella is a fair bit shorter than Crewel, so using a shorter character felt like a better choice.

I also really liked a lot of the costumes used in Cruella, I think a lot of Cruella/Estella’s outfits were really cool in the movie! Since I was basing Stella more on Estella’s character I used a few different pieces from Estella’s various costumes to come up with Stella’s outfit. Stella also wears more red and black clothes while white being more of an accent, compared to Crewel who’s has a predominantly black and white outfit with red as the accent. I thought it was fitting for red to be more prominent so it matched Stella’s hair colour. Stella’s earring is also a little call back to the animated Cruella’s iconic teal earrings!

Feel free to ask any questions, my ask box is always open!
